cjwatsonAlt-F2 probably runs things through a shell so that you can do pipes and suchlike00:02
cjwatsonjdstrand: ack, though I'm sure there must be cases where that goes along with other ability to insert shell configuration; being able to set aliases is just as good00:03
kirklandslangasek: wrt to your point about .profile, we could easily add a line to: eval PATH="$PATH"00:03
Tyrone_man*sigh*, can anyone get this kernel to boot up? Ubuntu keeps spiting it out. It swears profusely00:03
cjwatsonjdstrand: all you need to do is write a program in ~/bin that, when called, writes some shell configuration to ~/.bashrc and then rewrites itself to erase its trail. This is standard, crackers have been doing that kind of trick since practically the dawn of Unix00:04
kirklandTyrone_man: i've been trying Intrepid's kernel's in KVM's, no success yet, seems it's a known issue (at least on KVM at the moment)00:04
cjwatsonand then just wait for it to be called00:04
cjwatsonintrepid's kernel works in qemu but not kvm00:04
Tyrone_manvirtualbox here00:04
cjwatsoneval PATH="$PATH"> urgh00:04
slangasek:-)00:05
kirklandcjwatson: i thought you'd say that :-)00:05
Tyrone_manI actualy got it going, but the system only installed part ways, not up to pkg select. So then I manualy rebuilt it from cd, and it seemed fine, killed it to reboot, and bam. can't handle it, not synching00:05
cjwatsonI suspect this swamp might be why nobody has done this properly yet ;-)00:05
slangasekyep!00:05
kirklandcjwatson: yeah, you noticed the bit above where pam_env documentation says stuff like $HOME probably won't be set yet, huh?00:05
kirklandcjwatson: that sort of knocked me off the horse (again)00:06
cjwatsonkirkland: yeah00:07
cjwatsonI alluded to that earlier, as a wild-ass guess ;-)00:07
cjwatson22:55 <cjwatson> kirkland: /etc/environment makes sense if $HOME expansion is possible there and if PAM clients actually handle that properly (i.e. have set $HOME when they run pam_env)00:07
kirklandcjwatson: ah, so you did ...  :-/00:08
cjwatsonI don't suppose you could draw a diagram of all the possible routes into the system?00:08
cjwatsonannotated with the configuration files read at each step00:09
cjwatsonthen we might at least be able to look at it and figure out something better than we have now00:09
kirklandcjwatson: by routes into the system, you mean, login/ssh/etc?00:10
cjwatsonright, each thing that reads a configuration file and sets environment variables00:10
cjwatsonso sshd -> pam_env -> bash, that kind of thing00:11
cjwatsonif that makes sense00:11
kirklandcjwatson: and the eval PATH="$PATH" is completely unacceptable?00:15
* kirkland saw cjwatson redirect stdout to "urgh" :-)00:15
kirklandwhich wasn't quite /dev/null :-p00:15
slangasekaugh, gvfsd-smb-browse is going to be the death of me00:16
cjwatsonkirkland: I'd be worried that the potential behaviour change is rather worse. wanting a literal ${...} is pretty unlikely, but I can imagine somebody putting an environment variable containing (say) ` in /etc/environment ...00:19
cjwatsonor indeed "00:20
cjwatsonkirkland: also, doing that in .profile takes you right back to where you started; now the environment variables are only properly expanded for things that descend from .profile00:20
cjwatson-> might as well not have bothered00:20
kirklandcjwatson: hmm, except that the desktop managers handle this properly somehow00:21
cjwatsonlike I say I bet Alt-F2 goes through the shell00:21
cjwatsonstuff actually execlped by a program straight from the desktop not through a shell probably goes wrong00:21
kirklandcjwatson: agree with the latter00:22
cjwatsonshoving command lines through shells is so common that you may have to look reasonably carefully to find real counterexamples, but I'm confident they'll exist and they'll be basically unfixable00:22
kirklandcjwatson: okay, well, i suppose I'm going to need to politely concede this bug outside of my present fu :-(00:26
kirklandcjwatson: the change adding ~/bin to the end of PATH is present in Intrepid's PAM, 0.99.7.1-6ubuntu1 ... That change was sponsored on Friday.  You may want to back that out, and bug 64064 needs to be reopened00:29
ubottuLaunchpad bug 64064 in pam "would be nice to add ~/bin to the default PATH" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6406400:29
jdstrandcjwatson: certainly-- that is what I am talking about. ~/bin first in the path makes that easier00:35
jdstrandcjwatson: oh sorry, I only caught your 2nd comment00:35
jdstrandcjwatson: anyway, I am not advocating many users' scripts to protect the few with an open ~/bin00:37
jdstrands/many/potentially breaking many/00:38
cjwatsonjdstrand: (I meant a typo-squatting script more than anything else, really)00:38
cjwatsonsl is probably a good candidate ;)00:38
jdstrandheh00:38
jdstrandcjwatson: that would work too of course00:39
jdstrandcjwatson: so I guess, really, the best thing to do is nix ~/bin from the PATH completely :P00:41
cjwatsonah, now you're twisting my words ;-)00:42
jdstrandthat wouldn't break anything00:42
jdstrandheh-- only teasing00:42
kirklandcjwatson: i took a look at documenting entry points to the system, i jotted down some notes.  it'll need to be a wiki document with contributions by others, in that my pam understanding is somewhat limited compared to a few others01:04
cjwatsonaye01:04
cjwatson(er, confirmed; not meaning to slur your PAM understanding :-) )01:05
kirkland"jotted down" = pen and paper ... i'll have to move them to the wiki01:05
* kirkland didn't take offense ;-)01:05
kirklandand by "a few others" i mean "lots of others" :-)01:05
cjwatsonhmm, now why is http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/intrepid_probs.html broken01:06
jdstrandcjwatson: how so? (I've never looked at it, but it popped right up here)01:06
* TheMuso noticed that it was out of date yesterday but wasn't sure how regularly it was supposed to run.01:06
jdstrandah Jun 1901:07
cjwatsonright, out of date, it's supposed to run hourly01:07
jdstrandgotcha01:07
cjwatsonfails with no output :-(01:07
jdstrandcjwatson: probably a PATH problem :P01:07
kirklandjdstrand: LoL01:10
cjwatsonTheMuso: did you get as far as merging initramfs-tools? it's in the updated merges section, but only because I had to fix it up a bit for the new busybox and some others touched it in intrepid too01:12
TheMusocjwatson: I hadn't looked at it, as I wasn't the last one who touched it in hardy, but I can have a look if you'd like.01:13
cjwatsonjust because IIRC you did some Debian bug forwarding for it01:13
TheMusoYes thats right, some of which got into Debian.01:13
cjwatsonif you could have a go, it would be very helpful01:14
TheMusoOk I'll take a look today at some point.01:14
cjwatsonooh, a new parted upstream too01:17
slangasekfwiw, I've gotten a private inquiry from a member of the Debian kernel team (maks) about initramfs-tools resyncing, he was interested in seeing that get done01:20
slangasekTheMuso: so I'm happy to hook you two up on this if you do take it01:21
TheMusoslangasek: I've already had some contact with an initramfs-tools maintainer in the past when I filed bugs in Debian to get some of our changes back to Debian.01:24
slangasekok :)01:24
slangasekprobably the same one then01:24
slangasekI don't think anyone besides maks is taking care of it in Debian right now01:25
TwigathyIf you're fixing initramfs-tools stuff, could you poke at the NFS boot stuff in 8.04? :)01:25
Twigathyipconfig or something is broken, so getting IP by DHCP for NFS boot is full of fail01:25
TheMusoslangasek: Right, he's the one.01:26
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
TheMusoslangasek: I've also noticed that alsa-lib/plugins 1.0.16 is still in proposed...01:39
slangasekyah, I'll pull it today yet01:39
slangasekTheMuso: how are you coming with targeted fixes?  Any progress with bisecting?01:40
TheMusoNp, was just wondering whether something else came up that I didn't know about.01:40
TheMusoslangasek: I have to work out a way that won't take too much time, yet allow users to test revisoins. Note that I don't experience any issues myself, so I need affected users to test revisions taken from the upstream git repo...01:41
slangasekright01:41
slangasekwell, the nice thing about a binary search is that it reduces the number of iterations you have to go through to find the fix log2(n)01:42
slangasekhow many commits are there between 1.0.15 and 1.0.16 upstream?01:42
TheMusoYeah I know. The fun bit is running a bisection test for several kinds of bugs, both of which will likely be fixed by different revisions01:42
TheMusoJust a sec I'll check.01:43
TheMusoslangasek: 74, so when I start the bisect, it starts off cutting that down to 36.01:47
TheMusoto deal with after the first bisection.01:47
slangasekTheMuso: well, log2(74) < 6, so 7 is the maximum number of builds you'd have to get any one user to try in order to pinpoint their bug fix01:48
slangasekuh, < 7 I mean01:48
TheMusoslangasek: Yeah I figured. What I am thinking is to publish one package, get several users to test, and keep two trees, so I can track bisection for different issues, so I can mark one as bad and the other vise versa if I have to... Unless a better idea is forthcoming.01:49
slangasekthat sounds like the right track to me01:50
* cjwatson bets the problem with testing/intrepid_probs is that that timestamp was about when drescher was upgraded to hardy02:16
crimsun_TheMuso: which symptoms?  The ones in 221673 or 191027?02:19
cjwatsonI've rebuilt its Python extension and with any luck it'll work now02:19
cjwatsonnext run will probably be in 40 minutes or so02:19
crimsun_TheMuso: note that 1.0.16 is insufficient for at least one comment in the former.  That's a dmix issue fixed in -lib hg.02:19
TheMusocrimsun_: We are not going 1.0.16 wholesale any more.02:22
crimsun_yes, I advised that doing so would be a bad idea some time ago.02:23
crimsun_which specific bugs will you attempt to address in alsa-lib?02:25
TheMusocrimsun_: Well bug 191027 is known to have a fix in 1.0.16 at least for some users.02:26

TheMusokirkland: It looks ok to me, I'm just pulling your previous branch to see what Colin was getting at with his comments.04:28
kirklandTheMuso: sorry, i usually use "update-maintainer", which fixes the maintainer and adds a changelog entry04:29
kirklandTheMuso: the last one was a mess... i misunderstood his instructions, and did totally the wrong thing04:29
TheMusokirkland: Thats fine, but in this case it would not work as the maintainer is already changed.04:29
TheMusokirkland: Oh right.04:29

kirklandTheMuso: I'll add that to my list of things to do differently between a deb/bzr merge04:31
TheMusokirkland: Its not a matter of doing things differently. Even when doing a merge, the changing of the maintainer field should be documented in the changelog entry for the merge.04:31
TheMusoRegardless whether its a deb only, or involves a vcs branch of some sort.04:31
kirklandTheMuso: understood.04:35
TheMusokirkland: I see what you mean, that original branch is quite big. :)04:36

kirklandthe main branch i mean?04:41
TheMusokirkland: The next thing is for you to update the changelog from UNRELEASED to hardy, then I'll merge it into the core-dev branch and upload.04:42
TheMusos/hardy/intrepid/04:42
kirklandTheMuso: hmm, okay...  at what point do I do that?  cjwatson asked me to set it to UNRELEASED...  was that just long enough to get it vetted by you guys?04:42
TheMusokirkland: Hrm ok. He told me to upload once I was done, so I guess me merging and doing that myself makes sense.04:43
kirklandTheMuso: okay, so you pull my branch, fix the target release, and you'll push to the main branch?04:44

superm1does your ppc have altivec?04:55
kirklandsuperm1: the ppc frontend is working for the first time in months!04:56
kirklandsuperm1: how do i tell?  is it in /proc/cpuinfo?04:56
superm1should be i believe04:57
superm1what generation of PPC is it?04:57
kirklandsuperm1: mac mini, g4, i believe04:57
superm1oh yeah that'll have altivec04:58
kirklandsuperm1: i'm checking04:58
superm1its the earlier ones that didn't04:58
superm1w/o altivec, i believe video is practically unplayable on there04:58
TheMusoG3 == no altivec, G4-G5 == altivec.04:59
superm1there's the info i was looking for04:59
TheMusokirkland: Note that the Minis, even the 1.42 model can't play HD video, since the CPU just can't hack it.04:59
kirklandTheMuso: yeah, sadly i know05:00
kirklandsuperm1: yeah, it does have altivec05:01
superm1kirkland, i was actually considering an apple tv for a frontend until i heard the obscene specs that are going to be necessary for HD-PVR support05:02
superm1oh well05:02
TheMusosuperm1: Obscene? What do you mean exactly?05:03
kirklandsuperm1: yeah, the form factor is just so attactive05:03
superm1TheMuso, well people are saying AMD64 5000+ minimum, and high end geforce 9xxx cards w/ hardware assistance05:04
superm1to be able to handle decoding05:04
RAOFThat seems to be substantially above what I've read.05:04
pwnguindepends on the quality05:05
kirklandsuperm1: i have an amd64 3800 that renders HD just fine05:05
superm1HD-PVR files are x264 spit out05:05
pwnguinthe super high res stuff i wouldnt doubt05:05
superm1that's reassuring to me to hear RAOF.  i've not kept up the last week or two05:05
RAOFI seem to recall benchmarks of the 8xxx/9xxx hardware assistance taking some 10% CPU on a not-too-super core2 with h.264 1080p05:05
pwnguinRAOF: i wonder how much that falls with say a 6xxx05:06
RAOFTotally.05:06
* TheMuso is thinking of using an intel mini for his frontend when he moves, as long as his server will have a tv port nearby.05:06
RAOFThere just isn't any hardware assist there.05:06
superm1i'll look for some more accurate benchmarks as the hardware becomes  more prevalent05:06
kirklanddo the new mini's have digital sound out?05:06
TheMusokirkland: Yes.05:07
TheMusoShared with headphone/line out.05:07
RAOFsuperm1: Also, these were Windows benchmarks; it's likely that you'll see close to no hardware assist on linux.05:07
pwnguinRAOF: my x2 4000+ with a 6600gt does okay, but drops frames / stutters05:07
kirklandTheMuso: 5.1 coax or optical?05:07
TheMusokirkland: Optical.05:07
TheMusoAmd 5.1 afaik yes.05:07
kirklandTheMuso: nice!05:07
pwnguinRAOF: and that's just on 720 =(05:08
TheMusokirkland: As I said, only if I don't need to have the tuner card in the frontend.05:08
RAOFsuperm1: Unless you'd like to hack on the gallium video decoder state tracker :)05:08
TheMusoI don't trust USB for anything but keyboard/mouse.05:08
superm1RAOF, oh! yeah linux requirements are much higher unfortunately05:08
RAOFpwnguin: Right.  dual-core isn't very useful for decoding, so you're better off with really fast single threaded performance, which is expensive.05:09

TheMusoSo I can test build.05:13
kirklandTheMuso: so that's another question i have for you...05:13
kirklandTheMuso: if this was deb merge, i would have debuild'ed ...05:14
kirklandTheMuso: what's the build process for this?05:14
TheMusokirkland: IMO its better to always build in a chroot, unless you need to step through a package's build process step by step to find an FTBF.05:14
TheMusokirkland: What I'm doing for this, is fixing the branch up appropriately, i.e UNRELEASED to intrepid, and committing. Then I use the bzr-buildpackage ocmmand to export to a source package format, i.e .dsc file and .tar.gz file.05:15
TheMusoThe exact command I'm using is 'bzr-buildpackage -S --native'05:15
kirklandTheMuso: ah, cool!  that's the part I was missing....05:16

orbisvicisoh. 8.0.4.1 ?06:22
pwnguinthe "now its really stable" release ;)06:25
bluefoxicyok, evolution just erased my calendar.06:27
orbisvicisheh thanks06:27
bluefoxicygood job06:27
bluefoxicyso will 8.0.4.1 have a feature in it to prevent anything from STEALING FOCUS ever?06:30
RAOFbluefoxicy: Evolution isn't capable of doing that to me; it's google-calendar support doesn't work well enough for me :)06:30
bluefoxicyRAOF:  I tried to type a note and the keyboard stopped working, then pasted a date field.  I hit ctrl+alt+arrows and couldn't switch desktops.  I couldn't click other windows.  I hammered around on alt/ctrl/shift/etc to see if a key was stuck, no such luck06:31
orbisvicisis there a roadmap ?06:31
bluefoxicyevolution then closed, said it couldn't access my "memo" until it restarted, and then came up with a blank calendar.06:31
bluefoxicyblank as in tasks from 3 days ago were gone even.06:31
RAOFbluefoxicy: That sucks a lot.06:32
bluefoxicyyou're telling me?06:32
bluefoxicyI've had numerous incidents where some application locks up my mouse and keyboard and I can't do anything in X06:32
bluefoxicywin!06:37
bluefoxicyI added one new appointment and it ressurected all lost data by magic.06:37
RAOFHuzzah!06:37
bluefoxicyI have no way to reproduce this or describe the original bug, or provide explanation for WHY it happened06:37
RAOFYou probably could have rescued it with a magic-sysreq combination;  Whatever it is that switches the keyboard back to "raw" mode would probably have let you VT switch.  Where you could have made a guess as to what was holding things hostage.06:40
AmaranthRAOF: I thought it switched it _out_ of raw mode06:40
Amaranthbluefoxicy: Do you use compiz? If so, did it happen during a focus change?06:42
bluefoxicyno compiz06:42
RAOFAmaranth: It's a _magic_ sysrq key.  Maybe it swiches me to raw, and you out of raw? :)  I'm really not sure, though.06:44
bluefoxicyI can vt switch06:45
bluefoxicyand when I switch back to X i'm stuck again06:45
Amarantheep, my sysrq is a prtsc06:45
bluefoxicythe problem is having 20-30 windows and effectively killing random ones and/or X, depending.  If you kill a holding program it might not return control to X; Qemu for example does this (hence why I don't run it anymore)06:46
bluefoxicyfor the misfortunate soul who kills qemu when it freezes, you have to run 'DISPLAY=0 qemu <something>' in a real terminal to start a new one to get your mouse back <_<06:47
bluefoxicyimagine losing it to something that doesn't normally grab, and thus won't be nice and reset control for you06:47
AmaranthX grabs are broken06:50
pittiGood morning06:51
bluefoxicyAmaranth:  is there a program I can run to tell X to reclaim?06:51
Amaranthbluefoxicy: I don't think so06:51
AmaranthOtherwise they wouldn't be quite as broken :P06:51
bluefoxicyheh I was going to suggest watching the event device but whether it's /proc or /dev or actually works anymore i can't tell06:52
bluefoxicyyou used to be able to read raw keyboard (console) events from some interface, and so pick up key combinations like alt+sysrq+x ;)06:53

mathiazslangasek: ok - so there is no point in asking for alpha1 testing now ?19:11

ogracjwatson, well, tollefs changes got cleanly carried over, all that changed in debian is the dep on xsettings ... the merge is actually only to clean up control and add a changelog entry19:15
cjwatsonah19:16
cjwatsonright, accepted xserver-xorg-video-intel, so I think that should leave us with no uninstallables that cause ISO problems19:16
ograi can cleanly unapply the 1.2-1ubuntu1 patch apart from these two files :)19:16

pittikirkland: pong19:22
kirklandpitti: hiya...  you had a bit of feedback on mount.ecryptfs_private.c, asking me to use fputs() rather than fprintf()19:23
kirklandpitti: i think you had suggested fputs() such that I would have to append '\n19:23
kirklandpitti: which is somehow troublesome for i18n19:23
kirklandpitti: but in my testing, fputs() doesn't not append a newline character, (though puts() does, strangely)19:24
pittikirkland: right, I mixed that up, sorry19:24
pittikirkland: but another reason is that fputs() runs much less code than fprintf(), thus it's faster and less prone to injection of % macros19:24
kirklandpitti: okay, so i left the fputs(), but I did have to append the '\n', for readability19:24
kirklandpitti: fair enough, i left the fputs()19:25

slangasekScottK: agree enough that, as core-dev, you think we should deviate from upstream's (Trent's) opinion here?19:53
ScottKI guess I don't see the point of adding an infinite route when there is no one to talk to.19:55

mathiazOTOH the proxy.conf disables proxy requests by default22:04

elmoFWIW, in intreprid, it'd might be nice to do what sf suggested22:17
elmosimply because enabling (in the mods-enabled/ symlink sense) disk cache means htcacheclean gets run22:17
