| TheMuso | slangasek: Sorry I was talking about the genpo SRU. | 00:13 |
| slangasek | TheMuso: well, persia semi-verified it; if you can actually reproduce the original bug, with a test case, I would feel better about the fact that I just shoved it into -updates | 00:13 |
| TheMuso | slangasek: Although there was another one you mentioned yesterday against audacious that I have yet to test, as I have to set up a gutsy environment. | 00:13 |
| TheMuso | slangasek: Ok I'll look into doing that once I'm through my morning email run. | 00:14 |

| RAOF | Awww. libdrm 2.3.1 doesn't seem to ship with the nouveau drm headers. | 00:41 |
| Awsoonn | I see that intrepid is running almost the same version as Hardy, would it be useful to package up the RC of 7.4 so it's ready for alpha 2? | 00:41 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: should it? | 00:41 |
| LaserJock | slangasek: \o/ | 00:41 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: it's too old for nouveau anyway | 00:41 |
| tjaalton | Awsoonn: WIP | 00:42 |
| tjaalton | (see my post on planet) | 00:42 |
| Awsoonn | WIP? | 00:42 |
| RAOF | tjaalton: I haven't been following, but the drm snapshots I've been taking have been reporting themselves as version 2.3.1. | 00:42 |
| tjaalton | work-in-progress | 00:42 |
| RAOF | I was just seeing whether it'd be nice and easy. | 00:42 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: they should be 2.4.0 | 00:42 |
| tjaalton | hah, nice and easy.. | 00:43 |
| Awsoonn | right on, I'll find something else to hit with a rock then. :) | 00:43 |
| tjaalton | :P | 00:43 |
| RAOF | Yeah. It was a pretty long shot :) | 00:43 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: we might get 2.4.0 if the stuff intel is working on (GEM) proves to be worth it | 00:45 |
| RAOF | Gah. Memory managers. Why isn't there one already? | 00:46 |
| tjaalton | not just one, _TWO_ :) | 00:46 |
| RAOF | That's what I mean. | 00:46 |
| tjaalton | heh | 00:46 |
| RAOF | Two incomplete managers. | 00:46 |
| tjaalton | 1 + 1 ~= 2 | 00:47 |
| RAOF | tjaalton: Did you mean ~1/2 + ~1/2 ~= 1? | 00:47 |
| ion_ | tjaalton: FSVO 1 | 00:47 |
| tjaalton | ion_: heh | 00:48 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: yep, that's more accuraty | 00:48 |
| tjaalton | *te | 00:48 |
| ion_ | ~= ≈ ≈ | 00:48 |
| tjaalton | ah the flashbacks of some math courses.. FSVO | 00:49 |
| tjaalton | *FSVO foo | 00:49 |
| * RAOF is a particular fan of "almost all". | 00:49 | |
| ion_ | Is there a “standard” Finnish equivalent for FSVO? | 00:49 |
| tjaalton | "pienillä arvoilla" | 00:50 |
| ion_ | Alright | 00:50 |
| tjaalton | "pienillä n:n arvoilla" | 00:51 |
| ion_ | Yeah | 00:51 |
| tjaalton | hmm, the warm smell of offtopic dung | 00:51 |
| ion_ | (The S in FSVO typically means “some”, though.) | 00:52 |
| tjaalton | oh :) | 00:52 |
| tjaalton | I thought it was "small" | 00:52 |
| tjaalton | no cookie for me | 00:53 |
| TheMuso | slangasek: Ok, genpo's SRU has a rubber stamp now. :) | 01:10 |
| slangasek | thanks :) | 01:10 |
| LaserJock | TheMuso: rock! | 01:14 |
| TheMuso | Now... To work out why there are broken deps for some packages in hary-proposed/updates. | 01:26 |
| pwnguin | im not sure how to query apt to figure this out: is wacom-tools installed by default, for say ubuntu-desktop? | 01:54 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: doesn't seem so directly | 01:57 |
| crimsun | not according to the seeds. | 01:58 |
| pwnguin | well thats clearly the challenge | 01:58 |
| pwnguin | ok | 01:58 |
| LaserJock | crimsun: would you need to germinate to really be sure? | 01:58 |
| LaserJock | or are the seeds enough | 01:58 |
| crimsun | no, you can cheat and grep through http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/ubuntu.hardy/ | 01:58 |
| pwnguin | heh | 01:59 |
| LaserJock | crimsun: but those aren't germinated, couldn't it be pulled in indirectly? | 02:00 |
| crimsun | in a very, very, obscure universe, possibly. | 02:01 |
| Awsoonn | I have a VM with a fresh install on it, give me a sec :) | 02:01 |
| pwnguin | wacom seems like an obscure place | 02:01 |
| pwnguin | Awsoonn: while you're there, see if xserver-xorg-input-wacom is also in | 02:02 |
| Awsoonn | kk, I do know xauto config sets up wacom stuff by default... | 02:03 |
| pwnguin | that part i know | 02:03 |
| pwnguin | but its been ages since ive installed from scratch | 02:03 |
| Awsoonn | xserver-xorg-input-wacom 1:0.7.9.8-0 | 02:05 |
| TheMuso | Can anybody on hardy confirm that python-all-dev is uninstallable? | 02:05 |
| Awsoonn | negitive on wacom-tools though | 02:06 |
| pwnguin | interesting | 02:06 |
| pwnguin | i dont know how the installer is written -- is it possible it only installs some packages if the hardware is present? | 02:07 |
| Awsoonn | I am under the impression that the only case that happens is through the Restricted Manager. But I would love to know for reals | 02:11 |
| wgrant | Shouldn't you be able to tell by the Task field on the package? | 02:14 |
| pwnguin | if its empty? | 02:15 |
| pwnguin | well thanks for the info | 02:16 |
| wgrant | pwnguin: If you apt-cache show another package that you know to be pulled in by a seed, and can see the Task field, but can't see it on package X, X probably isn't pulled in. | 02:17 |

| tjaalton | are 8.04 images still available? | 08:19 |

| tjaalton | lifeless: I know, but thought that for testing purposes the original images might be nice to have somewhere | 08:21 |
| lifeless | tjaalton: I don't know for sure, sorry. | 08:22 |
| liw | tjaalton, if you can't find them on mirrors, I have copies of some (ubuntu only, alternate/desktop/server, i386/amd64) | 08:22 |

| pitti | asac: maybe missing epoch or so? | 08:25 |
| * asac looking | 08:25 | |
| asac | no epoch in nss :/ | 08:25 |
| asac | pitti: the other idea is that firefox gave up on component registration when it found that it couldnt load all libs | 08:25 |
| asac | if you purge nss, you will purge xulrunner ... and if you reinstall that you will force component registration | 08:26 |
| asac | s/purge xul/remove/xuL/ | 08:26 |

| seb128 | xnv: why should 2.4.3 be uploaded to hardy? | 08:34 |
| xnv | seb128: Well, a fix for the ICQ problem should be uploaded. It appears a patched version of 2.4.1 is what is being proposed, which I'd also be happy with. | 08:36 |
| seb128 | xnv: the ICQ fix has been backported indeed and moved to hardy-updates already | 08:36 |
| seb128 | xnv: maybe you are using a mirror which is not lagging behind? | 08:37 |
| seb128 | -not rather ;-) | 08:37 |
| xnv | seb128: Possibly. I'll try changing servers. | 08:38 |
| xnv | seb128: Tried 'Main Server' without luck. | 08:40 |
| seb128 | xnv: maybe it's not published yet in -updates, it has just been moved this morning, hardy-proposed has it since yesterday | 08:41 |

| lifeless | 28609 robertc 18 0 2303m 1.9g 1416 R 0.0 96.7 9:46.52 python | 10:47 |
| liw | lifeless, good, good -- will the new index code be in a bzr release soon? | 10:47 |
| lifeless | liw: the machine is thrashing :( 2G ram | 10:47 |
| lifeless | liw: hopefully yes. For now lp:~robertc/+junk/index2 | 10:47 |
| lifeless | erm | 10:47 |
| lifeless | bzr-index2 | 10:47 |
| liw | lifeless, if I get some extra time, I'll try that out, but don't hold your breath | 10:48 |

| lifeless | I appreciate your torture | 10:49 |
| wgrant | What is this enormously massive branch? | 10:51 |
| lifeless | wgrant: Ubuntu | 10:51 |
| wgrant | All one branch? | 10:52 |
| liw | I keep forgetting whether it was Debian etch or Ubuntu hardy | 10:52 |
| wgrant | Ooh dear. | 10:52 |
| liw | one repository, but one branch per source package | 10:52 |
| wgrant | Oh. | 10:52 |
| lifeless | wgrant: I blogged it | 10:52 |
| lifeless | it found some scaling considerations | 10:52 |
| liw | lifeless, you might talk to james_w about large repositories | 10:52 |
| lifeless | liw: well, I'll make this one work fast first. He should be doing separate ones per package for now :) | 10:53 |
| lifeless | liw: will you be in London? | 10:53 |
| liw | lifeless, I will | 10:53 |
| lifeless | then we can hack | 10:55 |
| cjwatson | pitti: I have no strong feelings either way. We shouldn't waste time on a campaign to do them, but if somebody's bored and wants to then I don't object | 11:00 |
| pitti | cjwatson: same here; for this particular merge it's not really worth it, since the only Debian change is the adoption of half of our patch | 11:03 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: if you have a moment, could you take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/286127 ? I think the depends/recommends should be updated, and some packages might be obsolete due to the PPD-autogenerator in cups 1.3 | 11:09 |
| lifeless | liw: http://advogato.org/person/robertc/diary/90.html | 11:10 |
| wgrant | lifeless: Is the bzr branch format likely to stabilise at some point? | 11:17 |
| wgrant | There seems to be a new one every couple of months. | 11:17 |
| wgrant | Which is probably bad. | 11:17 |
| lifeless | wgrant: ubuntu changes every few months | 11:20 |
| lifeless | wgrant: thats probably bad | 11:20 |
| persia | lifeless: Ubuntu is supported for bzr for between 18 and 60 months, but bzr format changes can make the distributed tools unsuitable for use. | 11:21 |
| lifeless | persia: we maintain compatibilty with every format since 0.0.4 or so | 11:21 |
| lifeless | persia: we can write back to 0.0.6 or so | 11:22 |
| persia | lifeless: Forward compatibility? Old clients can access new trees? | 11:22 |
| lifeless | persia: and users explicitly choose when to upgrade | 11:22 |
| lifeless | persia: no, users can publish in arbitrarily old trees | 11:22 |
| persia | Right. Users of older distributed clients can't participate with newer trees. | 11:22 |
| lifeless | persia: also we provide builds for all the supports versions of Ubuntu, and other platforms via community members | 11:22 |
| lifeless | persia: for some value of can't | 11:23 |
| persia | lifeless: It's distro-attitude vs. upstream-attitude. I understand your motivations entirely, and am sympathetic. It would still be nice to have stability so that the distributed tools just worked. | 11:23 |
| lifeless | persia: generally, they do just work | 11:23 |
| * pitti is using the etch backpor on his server happily | 11:23 | |
| lifeless | persia: when was the last time you had bzr's default format bite you with a contributor, or your bzr unable to read someone else's tree? | 11:24 |
| * persia notices the work "backport", remembers lots of comments about problems working with updated trees because some member of the development group felt like upgrading, and hopes that waiting another couple years will make it go away | 11:24 | |
| tjaalton | mesa 7.1rc1 incoming | 11:24 |
| pitti | tjaalton: yay new crack! | 11:25 |
| lifeless | persia: there are two dimensions on formats; one is a _real_ problem. Its called 'rich root' and its a one way trapdoor. | 11:25 |
| persia | lifeless: I'm not really a bzr user, but I'll admit to not seeing many complaints in the past 6 months. | 11:25 |
| tjaalton | pitti: indeed :) | 11:25 |
| wgrant | tjaalton: Then new X soon enough? | 11:25 |
| pitti | I'm currently dist-upgrading my laptop to intrepid, let's have a look at all the other intrepid crack :) | 11:25 |
| tjaalton | wgrant: I might upload xorg-server too, but all the drivers need a rebuild so it'll take a few days until things have settled down | 11:25 |
| lifeless | persia: the second dimension is just disk encoding and is trivially exported to any other format that has teh same encoding, and we don't see problems with that. | 11:25 |
| wgrant | lifeless: I suspect people won't use new formats because they know anybody running less than $LATEST_DEVELOPMENT_RELEASE won't be able to use their branches. | 11:25 |
| lifeless | persia: we've been sitting on the rich root change for about 3 years now, because its a problem | 11:26 |
| liw | pitti, I tried upgrading a hardy virtual machine to intrepid, now it doesn't boot | 11:26 |
| lifeless | the other, we've changed the default from time to time with no problems - because we've thought about the toolchain, and the window between introducing and making default etc | 11:26 |
| liw | pitti, I was too lazy to investigate, though | 11:26 |
| pitti | wgrant, lifeless: isn't that merely a problem of having the latest bzr on the server side? if you have new bzr and new branch format on the server, and old bzr on the client, the client should still be able to read/write through bzr+ssh:///, right? | 11:26 |
| lifeless | wgrant: honestly, people use the the default format, which is not the newest format. Because they shouldn't need to know. | 11:27 |
| lifeless | pitti: in principle but we're not there yet. | 11:27 |
| wgrant | pitti: bzr+ssh itself is fairly new. | 11:27 |
| persia | lifeless: seeing "we're not there yet" is hugely confidence inspiring :) | 11:28 |
| lifeless | wgrant: compare with hg - has changed format as often as bzr, but with less doco and clarity, or svn which has _forced_ upgrades (svn 1.5 silently upgrades working trees to its new format) | 11:28 |
| lifeless | persia: you need to disable all VFS methods to achieve the abstraction pitti is referring to. Thats not possible if you want to support _all_ bzr operations. | 11:28 |
| wgrant | lifeless: Ah yes, but nobody uses Hg. | 11:28 |
| lifeless | or git, which hasn't changed formats but has introduced features that cause older versions to barf | 11:29 |
| wgrant | and SVN 1.5 isn't anywhere yet, so people won't have had time to be horrified and murder them. | 11:29 |
| lifeless | (and not barf with a beautiful message either) | 11:29 |
| wgrant | Nothing about git is beautiful. | 11:29 |
| liw | whenever I use git, I am astonished at how much output it gives in normal use -- output that I then have to sift through to see if there's any problems reported | 11:30 |
| lifeless | wgrant: so, your point then is 'it will be nice when the bzr folk can not think of anything to make better that involves disk or network formats' ? :) | 11:30 |
| wgrant | lifeless: My original question was when that was likely to happen. | 11:31 |
| pitti | I guess when bzr manages every network operation in a single round-trip with 0% data redundancy :) | 11:32 |
| lifeless | wgrant: ok, I may have jumped slightly because we do get critiqued about this, even though I think when one looks deep we're no worse than others and better than most about managing this. | 11:32 |
| persia | lifeless: Sorry for any confusion: I meant "hugely confidence inspiring" seriously. | 11:32 |
| persia | (and that I was happy as a result) | 11:32 |
| lifeless | persia: oh, ok :) | 11:32 |
| persia | lifeless: That it is a goal is a good thing, as with 5-year distro support, changing formats are unfortunate: in comparison to git, hg, svn, etc.: you're here to hear the complaints. | 11:33 |
| lifeless | wgrant: anyhow, I'm pretty bad at predicting the future. All I can say right now is I have a long list of things that we know would be better; and another list of things in the R&D space I'd like to experiment with, and finally a list of user desired features. | 11:33 |
| pitti | lifeless: btw, are you already at a point where some operations actually start to become CPU-bound instead of I/O bound, i. e. the relative Python slowness starts to matter? | 11:37 |
| liw | lifeless, my friend with the time machine tells me you'll be finished making bzr faster than git in 2009 | 11:37 |
| lifeless | pitti: we're way past that | 11:38 |
| lifeless | pitti: 60% of performance with the new index was in 'str.split' in python | 11:38 |
| pitti | wow | 11:39 |
| lifeless | pitti: so I wrote a C parser | 11:39 |
| pitti | I had expected it to still be pretty much I/O and network bound | 11:40 |
| lifeless | which is used if compiled otherwise you get python | 11:40 |
| lifeless | network is a headache | 11:40 |
| lifeless | and disk efficiency | 11:40 |
| lifeless | also memory efficiency | 11:40 |

| tkamppeter | PPD auto-generation was introduced with CUPS 1.2.x. | 12:44 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I am aware of that; I just think some parts of it are still relevant, so I'd like to check which dependencies/recommends should still be there, and which should go | 12:44 |

| Keybuk | I haven't had time to find out why | 14:02 |

| Hobbsee | Lrrr: try another mirror first, if that doesn't work either, then come back | 14:21 |
| Mithrandir | tkamppeter: part of knowing what it is is also to have performed it enough times that your spine knows how it's done. | 14:21 |

| Hobbsee | Lrrr: archive.ubuntu.com ? | 14:22 |
| Lrrr | Okay. | 14:23 |
| Lrrr | Trying. | 14:24 |
| Hobbsee | tkamppeter: i think what's most disturbing about that request is that you're asking about where basic development documentation is. I can understand the fact that you don't normally need to do sync requests. But i'm absolutely stunned that you don't know where the pages about syncs and merges are, particularly as you have to do them every cycle, and you are a core developer, who is supposed to be able to know and follow ubuntu processes. | 14:24 |
| Hobbsee | s/be able to// | 14:25 |
| wgrant | I recall that when others have applied for core-dev in the past on the grounds of sponsorship being inefficient, they have been denied. | 14:25 |
| tkamppeter | Sorry, I found the page in the Wiki already. I have already merged a lot, most times when I change something in a package I look at merges.u.com and take in the Debian stuff. | 14:25 |

| Lrrr | reprepro, AFAIK, has no --dont-bugger-me switch. That means I can't pull from the Gutsy archive at all. | 14:31 |
| elmo | it's still wrong, even in intrepid, that's pretty special | 14:31 |
| wgrant | You can't convince it to use the other hashes? | 14:31 |

| wgrant | elmo: It's rather special indeed. No response from mvo yet, either... | 14:32 |
| cprov | elmo: it's broken since we've switched to python-apt SHA256 generation (it was mid feisty, IIRC) | 14:33 |
| elmo | cprov: yeah, but I thought drescher being on hardy would have fixed it | 14:33 |
| Lrrr | The man pages doesn't say anything about that. | 14:33 |

| cprov | elmo: yeah, but no .. the tests pasted in the bug where done in hardy (drescher, precisely) | 14:34 |

| mvo | cprov: thanks for confirming, there is definitely a bug somewhere because the string stuff should work too | 14:44 |
| mdz | mvo: is it a known issue that the upgrader can pop up *very* many dialogs from a single package failure (for everything which depends on it)? | 14:45 |
| mdz | mvo: I am clicking through a very long list of such popups right now, upgrading to intrepid :-) | 14:45 |
| mvo | mdz: yes, funny that you ask, asac mentioned it today too and I just fixed those redunadant dialogs | 14:46 |

| mdz | *click* *click* *click* | 14:46 |
| cprov | mvo: okay, can we afford being wrong about SHA256 for sometime until you get the bug fixed on apt or should we change the publisher code to use the fd instead of the string ? | 14:46 |
| mvo | mdz: that depends got added to work around assert failure in xargs | 14:47 |
| mdz | findutils itself seems to have failed due to a Perl issue (via install-docs) | 14:47 |
| tjaalton | sistpoty|work: ok, we'll see :) | 14:47 |

| pitti | tkamppeter: which part of the printer device ID do I need for the web query? just MFG and MDL, or other stuff as well? (certainly not DES and CLS, but I don't knwo what P, S, and SN are | 15:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: oh, it seems I can just submit the entire thing, and the sever just ignores unimportant bits | 15:19 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: is the order of the fields important? i. e. does it always have to be MFG;CLS;MDL, or can they come in arbitrary order? | 15:20 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, make and model are enough in most cases (if device ID is really standards-conforming). Some printers have no make and/or model tag, then you can use the description. CMD is only to find appropriate generic PPDs for a printer which is unknown to the database. | 15:20 |
| Hobbsee | mvo: why does apt still try to install recommends for a package, if you've held the package back (by dpkg --set-selections), and won't let it upgrade to the newer version? | 15:20 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ah, thanks; I think I'll just submit everything cupshelper.getDevices() gives me | 15:20 |
| Hobbsee | (when running a dist-upgrade) | 15:21 |
| tkamppeter | P, S, and SN are not constant on different printers of the same model or even not constant during the printer's life (on HP they contain the ink levels). SDo they are not used. | 15:21 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: lpinfo -l -v still is a string, but cupshelpers dissects it into a dictionary, so the order of the fields is lost | 15:21 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: "SN" sounds like serial number | 15:21 |
| === bddebian2 is now known as bddebian | ||
| tkamppeter | pitti, the order of the field of a device ID string is not relevant. It is always dissected on the server and the server only uses MFG/MDL, DES, and CMD in the given priority order to find its answer. | 15:22 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: perfect; thanks! | 15:23 |
| tkamppeter | You ususally can send device IDs as they are to the server. The server dissects them by itself. | 15:23 |
| mvo | Hobbsee: that sounds like a bug | 15:24 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, serial number can appear under SN, SER, or SERIAL. It is used by CUPS and by system-config-printer to distinguish two printers of the same model connected to one machine, especially when using USB. | 15:24 |
| Hobbsee | mvo: http://rafb.net/p/S9g7K465.html | 15:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: so I'll filter out those three, I think; I don't want to send serial numbers over the net for privacy reasons | 15:25 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: or, rather, I'll only take MFG, MDL, DES, and CMD | 15:25 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, exactly that, only these four are needed to identify which model a printer is and which drivers it needs. All the others are irrelevant. | 15:26 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: so I rather don't send them in the first place; thanks! | 15:27 |
| tkamppeter | You do not need to filter them out, as my software drops them (and does not send them to an ink cartridge store) | 15:27 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I still want to avoid sending serial numbers or other potentially personal data over the network | 15:28 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, but better filter them out, as sooner or later we get mirrors, or simply someone is listening to the connections passing through the net and then delivers the ink ... | 15:28 |

| pitti | ScottK: oh, I had assumed it was an accident from an autosync run, so I blacklisted it and rejected it from NEW, yes | 15:56 |

| pitti | ScottK: ok; as said, I wasn't aware that it was an explicit request | 15:58 |
| ScottK | jordi: It shouldn't happen. | 15:58 |
| jordi | ie, Debian current is 1.0-2, ubuntu uploads 1.0-3, Debian then uploads 1.0-2.1 | 15:59 |
| jordi | ScottK: but it did | 15:59 |

| jordi | MDZ | 15:59 |
| mdz | pitti: it seemed to grab keyboard and mouse, but didn't fade the screen, and I wasn't able to do anything for about 2 minutes | 15:59 |
| mdz | jordi! | 15:59 |
| pitti | jordi: then the one who uploaded 1.0-3 to Ubuntu should be ... taught not to | 15:59 |
| mdz | pitti: then finally the dialog came up, and I canceled it to try to see what happened | 15:59 |

| pitti | mdz: hm, I think it happened to me, too, but I can't remember any more what the reason was | 16:00 |
| jordi | tinyproxy in Debian is 1.6.3-2.1, Ubuntu has 1.6.3-3 | 16:00 |

| ScottK | Argh. | 16:00 |
| pitti | mdz: I'd check the following: lo interface present? ck-list-sessions has a session for you? session d-bus running? | 16:00 |

| mdz | pitti: yes | 16:01 |
| jordi | Scottk, pitti: I guess I could bump to -3.2 and add a justification in the changelog? | 16:01 |

| pitti | jordi: in Debian you mean? | 16:01 |
| jordi | although this sucks | 16:01 |
| jordi | yes | 16:01 |
| mdz | pitti: I can't reproduce it; clicking the icon again brings up the dialog right away | 16:01 |
| mdz | pitti: but shouldn't the upgrader prompt me to reboot immediately anyway? | 16:02 |
| pitti | jordi: sure, possible, but I think we could just wait until Debian gets a non-NMU again, and in the meantime, do what ScottK said | 16:02 |
| mdz | ah, probably it didn't because the upgrade failed | 16:02 |
| mdz | but I don't remember dismissing it | 16:02 |
| pitti | mdz: that would probably be useful, similar to ubiquity | 16:02 |
| jordi | pitti: ok. That happened last in 2004 though, before the Oxford meeting. :) | 16:02 |

| pitti | mdz: welcome back; X broken for you as well with usplash? | 16:45 |
| DktrKranz | beDrung: good, I'll reflect it on bug status. thanks | 16:45 |
| mdz | pitti: X broke due to nvidia.ko being missing entirely from lrm | 16:45 |
| mdz | pitti: decided to test bullet-proof-x and encountered some problems there | 16:45 |
| pitti | ah, that's currently split out to separate packages, yes | 16:46 |
| mdz | pitti: also lrm-common is missing the tools (including lrm-manager) | 16:46 |
| mdz | pitti: split out to separate packages? | 16:46 |
| pitti | mdz: AFAIU Timo and Alberto, this is supposed to go away, since the modules will not be renamed any more | 16:46 |
| pitti | mdz: right | 16:47 |
| pitti | mdz: in fact, l-r-m will shrink to just a bunch of firmware files, AFAIUI | 16:47 |
| pitti | tseliot and tjaalton would know details | 16:48 |
| pitti | mdz: but the idea is to repackage them using DKMS, and each driver on its own, so that it becomes easier to maintain | 16:49 |
| mdz | pitti: but meanwhile, they're missing entirely? | 16:49 |
| pitti | as well as you don't need to install both | 16:49 |
| tseliot | mdz: even with lrm-common and the nvidia.ko file, the driver wouldn't work on Intrepid. It needs some patches | 16:49 |
| mdz | is this "envy-ng"? | 16:49 |
| pitti | mdz: I don't know TBH, I just updated to intrepid today as well, and only my laptop (which has intel) | 16:49 |
| mdz | tseliot: bug 243863 says that the current version ought to work with .26 | 16:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 243863 in linux-restricted-modules "there is no nvidia module/driver (interpid)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/243863 | 16:50 |
| pitti | tseliot: oh, it isn't compatible with 2.6.26 yet? | 16:50 |
| tseliot | pitti: it depends on which driver version we're talking about | 16:50 |
| pitti | tseliot: I wasn't aware that the current l-r-m already threw them out | 16:51 |
| tseliot | mdz: driver 169.12 doesn't work with 2.6.26 | 16:51 |
| pitti | I thought intrepid still had the old -new, -legacy, -glx | 16:51 |
| tseliot | pitti: it has those packages | 16:51 |
| pitti | ah, that would be it then; so -legacy and -glx don't work? | 16:51 |
| pitti | but -new does? | 16:51 |
| tseliot | however the kernel modules are not included in the linux-restricted-modules | 16:52 |
| tseliot | and nvidia-glx-<version> doesn't work without its kernel module | 16:52 |
| tseliot | mdz, pitti: the new packages will be ready soon, I promise | 16:52 |
| mdz | tseliot: right, the bug says there is a new version from nvidia which supports .26 | 16:53 |
| tseliot | mdz: 173.xx.xx does support kernel 2.6.26 and so does 177.xx | 16:53 |
| pitti | tseliot: is there any chance at all to make the odler versions work on .26? | 16:54 |
| tseliot | however they won't work without their respective kernel modules | 16:54 |
| pitti | (since the newer versions don't support older models) | 16:54 |
| tseliot | pitti: I'm writing the patches for them right now | 16:54 |
| pitti | tseliot: oh, wow; so that is in the sourceful bits | 16:54 |
| beDrung | \sh, DktrKranz: done | 16:55 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, a few functions and variables have to be removed and/or replaced by others | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | any objection to me dropping hplip's recommends: hplip-gui to suggests? | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | possibly also hpijs-ppds though I'm not sure | 17:06 |
| mdz | pitti: something is still wrong with usplash on this machine, but it was having problems there before | 17:07 |
| mdz | cjwatson: none whatsoever | 17:07 |
| mdz | cjwatson: I had cause to look at it a few days ago and found it wanting anyway | 17:07 |
| mdz | it didn't provide much beyond what system-config-printer gives us | 17:07 |
| * cjwatson is trying to get the list of extra packages pulled into the desktop by Recommends down to something manageable | 17:07 | |
| mdz | cjwatson: I can't speak for hpijs-ppds; that sounds important | 17:07 |

| cjwatson | blink | 17:08 |
| pitti | but if we haven't installed it by default so far, we can probably do without? | 17:08 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ^ that's the point where you should request a sync (but I think I already told you about that one, right) | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | I'll just do hplip-gui for now; the other at least doesn't pull in a bazillion dependencies | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | BTW, I'm inventing even more seed syntax for the recommends-by-default thing | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | I've opted for 'feature follow-recommends' in the STRUCTURE file | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | 'feature' is followed by a space-separated list of flags | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | this is the easiest way to keep germinate doing the right thing for <= hardy | 17:11 |
| tkamppeter | hpijs-ppds is not needed. It is a bunch of ready-made PPDs which are for us generated by the hpijs.drv file coming with the HPIJS package and CUPS DDK. | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | so the Recommends should be removed altogether? | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | I mean, there's no point even suggesting it if it's not needed | 17:19 |
| tkamppeter | cjwatson, you are right. | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | ok, will do, thanks | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | file-roller Recommends: rpm. What do we think? Seems not entirely useless | 17:22 |
| mgross | I'm wondering how to test freedesktop.or Xserver bits on a ubuntu desktop system. Are there any how to pages? | 17:28 |

| sistpoty | cjwatson: out of curiosity, is there a reason to disable autoindent in vim for ubuntu? | 18:10 |
| Nafallo | sistpoty: it's really annoying when you paste indented code in? ;-) | 18:12 |
| laga | :set paste | 18:12 |
| laga | ? | 18:12 |
| sistpoty | Nafallo: hm...? autoindent doesn't seem to do set for me, at least not while I was working on debian/stable systems | 18:12 |
| sistpoty | Nafallo: I may be wrong, but imo the effect is just if you type in a line | 18:13 |
| Nafallo | oh well. I'll live either way :-) | 18:15 |
| sistpoty | Nafallo: well, it's no biggie, as I can easily override it (and I guess most vim users can so as well *g*) | 18:17 |
| Nafallo | sistpoty: quite :-) | 18:17 |

| cjwatson | I think I'm bored of chasing Recommends now | 19:02 |
| cjwatson | germinate change to follow Recommends is in trunk, if anyone wants to try it out | 19:03 |
| cjwatson | to enable it, put 'feature follow-recommends' at the top of STRUCTURE in a local checkout of the seeds | 19:03 |
| Lrrr | cjwatson: I can I has germinate documentation? ;D | 19:06 |
| cjwatson | Lrrr: you can has man page | 19:06 |
| cjwatson | tell me what's missing, I know it inside-out myself so it's of course hard to know what other people don't :) | 19:06 |
| Lrrr | Afaik, meta tags in the seed files are not documented anywhere. I wanted to check the source to see what's supported because I might be missing useful things. | 19:08 |
| cjwatson | meta tags? | 19:09 |
| Lrrr | I mean, things such as Task-Seed and Task-Metapackage. | 19:09 |
| Lrrr | Task-Seeds is in germinate-update-metapackage manpage, fine. | 19:10 |
| cjwatson | oh, those aren't actually parsed by germinate itself, which is why it doesn't document them | 19:10 |
| cjwatson | mostly they're for tasksel | 19:10 |
| cjwatson | but sure, I can document those | 19:10 |
| Lrrr | Anyway, don't care. I know my way around germinate source so when it'll bother me enough I'll add it. | 19:10 |
| Lrrr | I just wish I had time to work seriously on it. | 19:11 |
| Lrrr | BTW, if you remember I told you LVM preseed possibly did not work with d-i. I was wrong. I had not updated enough partman components. Now it work just fine. | 19:12 |
| cjwatson | Lrrr: documented now | 19:17 |
| cjwatson | Lrrr: ah good | 19:17 |
| Lrrr | man you are fast. | 19:18 |
| * Lrrr pulls | 19:18 | |
| cjwatson | anything else before I upload 1.3? | 19:18 |
| Lrrr | No not really. | 19:18 |
| cjwatson | I suspect the biggest thing germinate(1) needs is some examples | 19:19 |
| cjwatson | it's all a bit abstract and hard to get one's head around in isolation | 19:19 |
| Lrrr | I don't know how many people actively use that. | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | not many I imagine | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | it's a rather specialist tool, after all | 19:21 |
| laga | cjwatson: yes. | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | (cool, but specialist ;-) ) | 19:21 |
| laga | it'd be cool if the whole seeds thing was documented better | 19:21 |
| Lrrr | Outside of Ubuntu I know just 1 person using it. | 19:22 |
| laga | what do they do with it? | 19:22 |
| Lrrr | A custom distro. | 19:22 |
| Lrrr | And that's pretty much what I do with it too. | 19:22 |
| cjwatson | somebody was trying to use it to construct Debian CDs a while back | 19:22 |
| Lrrr | I use it for that purpose. | 19:23 |
| cjwatson | and I heard of somebody using it to manage metapackages in a similar way to us | 19:23 |
| Lrrr | I love to subvert Debian and Ubuntu tools for my own world dominative purpose. | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | http://ubuntu.dustinkirkland.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/germinate.html - seems to format fairly reasonably there | 19:27 |

| zerwas | hm, hope this question was understandable | 22:55 |
| nxvl | zerwas: asac is the person to talk to | 22:56 |
| * Nafallo got confused in the middle somewhere | 22:56 | |
| Nafallo | ah | 22:57 |
| Nafallo | now I get it :-) | 22:57 |
| asac | zerwas: look at how the apturl package does it | 22:57 |
| zerwas | asac, ya i have had a look in it a few months ago | 22:57 |
| nxvl | Nafallo: yes, i needed to read it 3 times to get it | 22:58 |
| zerwas | my first question is only if it already had been discussed and perhaps been dropped (due to security issues or so) | 22:58 |
| nxvl | :P | 22:58 |
| zerwas | Nafallo, ok easier: a webpage containing an irc:// link. i click on it and a dialog comes which asks me if i want to install an IRC program (xchat) | 22:59 |
| Nafallo | "The shellcode returned a non zero exit value. Would you like to try as root?" :-) | 22:59 |
| zerwas | think that would make it much easier for beginners to use IRC when they come across a note of an irc channel | 23:00 |
| asac | zerwas: that idea is nice. and it can be solved in a upstream fashion (with distro integration) or in a distro-only fashion | 23:01 |
| asac | zerwas: i am sure that both sides have been proposed at some point | 23:01 |
| asac | but most likely nobody implemented it | 23:01 |
| asac | zerwas: the way to get things started is to write a Specification | 23:01 |
| asac | discuss that; get it approved and find someone who implements it ;) | 23:02 |
| zerwas | asac, unfortunately i am only a beginner in programming ... but this idea came in my mind a while ago | 23:02 |
| zerwas | asac, okay that sounds feasible | 23:02 |
| asac | zerwas: you can even start a specification | 23:02 |
| asac | and register it in launchpad | 23:02 |
| asac | maybe someone else will fill in the implementation details | 23:03 |
| asac | zerwas: you could at least draft the use-cases ;) | 23:03 |
| asac | zerwas: look in the wiki for a specification template | 23:03 |
| asac | once you are done you can register your specification in launchpad | 23:03 |
| zerwas | asac, ok thank you very much for these hints! :-) i may try it | 23:04 |
| zerwas | or ask some people to help me with it if they agree it would be a nice feature | 23:04 |
| asac | zerwas: its not a simple thing as more than one component will be involved | 23:04 |
| asac | zerwas: so better draft a spec first | 23:05 |
