MTecknologyLynet, WARNING - at least SuSE, Mandriva, and Ubuntu use a version of SYSLINUX modified with a patch called "gfxboot". This is a highly invasive and unsupported modification of SYSLINUX. Please avoid these versions if possible.00:12
MTecknologythere's dvd's of 32bit ubuntu {desktop,server} - I know what we're trying to do HAS to be possible00:13
cjwatsonyou can't usefully install from an .iso on the hard drive, so I wouldn't recommend wasting your time trying. When you have an .iso loop-mounted from the hard drive, that has the effect of locking the partition table so that you can't perform much in the way of partitioning changes.00:15
cjwatsonah, but are you nesting ISO images on the CD itself? Urgh, seems rather overcomplicated00:15
Lynetcjwatson: No repartitioning expected on a dvd. ;-p00:16
cjwatsonwe just merge everything into the CD root and configure the installer to grab only what it needs00:16
cjwatsonmuch easier and actually works00:16
LynetWould merging 32 and 64bit be possible?00:17
cjwatsonwould take a little bit of fiddling to boot the right kernels, but ought to be00:17
cjwatsonmost of the relevant path names are architecture-specific00:17
MTecknologycjwatson, what I want to do is make a dvd of ubuntu {32,64}bit {desktop,server}, dsl, and systemrescuecd00:18
cjwatsonI have no experience with or information on DSL nor systemrescuecd, so cannot comment on how feasible it is to merge an Ubuntu CD root with those00:19
cjwatsonI can say that right now you'd have to mess about with /var/lib/dpkg/info/cdrom-detect.postinst in the Ubuntu CD initrd to get it to loop-mount an .iso image from the CD00:20
MTecknologycjwatson, I've been trying to figure this out for about 20ht... i'm very close to scrapping it00:20
cjwatsonat minimum; there might be other problems as a result00:20
MTecknologycjwatson, you should just do it for me :)00:22
MTecknologyi'm too noob to figure this out00:23
cjwatsonerm, sorry, no :-)00:23
cjwatsonlots of other things to do ...00:23
MTecknology:)00:23
MTecknologyi officially give up00:23
MTecknologythere's not enough documentation about anything like that online either00:24
LynetMTecknology: I'll keep on it a bit, will msg you if I get any further.00:25
MTecknologyLynet, sounds good. I think I'm going to go home - i won't be here tomorrow- i think probably about 2 more times this summer00:25
Adri2000is it intended that the kernel binaries (hardy, -security/-updates) are in universe? :)00:53
cjwatsonAdri2000: known, being worked on (Launchpad went a bit weird on us)00:59
Adri2000ok01:01
cjwatsonwe can't seem to move it because it thinks it's already in main01:03
cjwatsonat least at some level01:03
cjwatsonbtw, it's only -security that's affected, not -updates01:05
cjwatsonI think what's happened is that somehow (not considered in this memo) it ended up in universe when copying into -security, but the change-override implementation doesn't consider pockets when looking for packages - it just takes the newest in the distroarchseries01:07
nxvlRiddell: around?01:07
Adri2000cjwatson: hmmm, -updates is affected as well on the fr.archive mirror01:10
Adri2000linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic | 2.6.24-19.36 | http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/universe Packages01:10
Nafallolinux-image-2.6.24-19-generic | 2.6.24-19.36 | http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages01:10
Adri2000maybe it was affected and it has then been fixed? and fr.archive is not up-to-date?01:11
cjwatsonmay just be confusion arising from -security and -updates being at the same version with different overrides01:11
cjwatsonI'm looking at the master, so I'm not too worried about what mirrors have01:11
Nafallolinux-image-2.6.24-19-generic | 2.6.24-19.36 | http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages01:13
NafalloI'd say it's fine :-)01:13

nenolodwho do i speak to regarding mysqld in ubuntu?01:32
nenolodit has a bug which is ddosing my machines.01:32
LaserJocknenolod: has a bug been filed?01:36
nenolodLaserJock, yes. it has Priority: low, and has been mostly ignored.01:39
nenolodLaserJock, i run a cluster where a lot of people have instances of ubuntu, and since hardy, these instances have caused serious performance degradation01:39
nenolodit is a problem that warrants something higher than such a low priority01:40
LaserJockperhaps giving us the bug number would help :-)01:40

Rocket2DMnHi, I confirmed bug 246823 but a package maintainer/contributor needs to handle it08:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 246823 in gwyddion "New upstream release of gwyddion (2.10) available" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24682308:59
Rocket2DMnanybody?09:03
* Hobbsee looks at it09:03
Rocket2DMni think we may have discussed that one last night Hobbsee09:03
Hobbsee4 mins.  wow, you're patient :)09:03
HobbseeRocket2DMn: i doubt it - that one actually is in debian09:03
* Hobbsee scratches head09:05
Hobbseewhy does this hate me today?09:05
Rocket2DMndoesnt "Ubuntu Sponsors for universe" need to be subscribed to those bugs?09:06
Rocket2DMnaka ubuntu-universe-sponsors09:06
HobbseeRocket2DMn: yeah, but i was going to do the sync request and get it out of the way.09:06
Rocket2DMni have a few such bugs09:06
Hobbseesarah@saturn:~/Desktop% sync-package.sh http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gwyddion/gwyddion_2.10-1.dsc intrepid09:06
HobbseeException: apt-cache madison does not contain gwyddion/intrepid09:06
Rocket2DMni need to know if it is outside my jurisdiction to confirm/wishlist them when they appear09:06
Hobbseepitti: any idea why ^ ?09:06
HobbseeRocket2DMn: yes, a MOTU will need to confirm that they're right.09:07
HobbseeRocket2DMn: you can set to wishlist if you like, but it really doesn't matter either way09:07
Hobbseeand just causes more mail09:07
Rocket2DMnive checked that the packages do exist in debian09:07
Rocket2DMnHobbsee, another example is a merge request, like bug 24875009:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 248750 in git-core "Please merge git-core 1:1.5.6.2-1 from Debian" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24875009:08
Hobbseethat you will need to subscribe u-u-s for, if it's not already done09:09
Rocket2DMnso after confirming/wishlisting i just need to subscribe them and thats it?09:09
Hobbseeah, now the syncer is working.09:09
HobbseeRocket2DMn: no, don't confirm it.09:11
HobbseeRocket2DMn: it's the job of the MOTU to confirm it if it's right.09:11
HobbseeRocket2DMn: otherwise, correct.09:11
Rocket2DMnok, that specific one is for Main, not Universe09:11
HobbseeRocket2DMn: you might find https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing helpful09:11
Hobbseethere's a u-m-s group too09:11
Rocket2DMnyeah i saw09:12
Rocket2DMnok, so in the future if i see a new one, just subscribe the correct one of them and thats it?09:12
Hobbseeyes09:12
Rocket2DMnalright09:13
HobbseeRocket2DMn: wait, no, that bug is crap.09:13
HobbseeRocket2DMn: it doesn't contain a patch, it doesn't contain any of the work done.09:13
Hobbseeit just says "someone needs to do this"09:13
Rocket2DMnright09:13
Hobbseeand while there's nothing actually done there, it's pretty pointless, and there's nothing to sponsor09:13
HobbseeRocket2DMn: added to that bug.09:14
Rocket2DMnok09:15
Rocket2DMnok Hobbsee , so the bug we had last night: bug 246822 (not in debian)09:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 246822 in prism "Prism on Intrepid should be updated to new upstream version 0.9" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24682209:17
Rocket2DMnwhat do we want to do with that one?09:18
HobbseeRocket2DMn: probably ask in #ubuntu-motu if there would be any contributors who would like to do it.09:19
Hobbseei've no idea how difficult it is09:19
Rocket2DMnyeah i was just there asking about the first one, didnt get much love09:19
Hobbseefirst one, debian had already done the work09:19
Hobbseebut you were probably doing it while they were all asleep.  and there are lots of packages in universe, and people just may not be interested.09:20
pittiHobbsee: maybe you don't have a deb-src for intrepid universe?09:24
Rocket2DMnok im just going through the list of the few bugs like this i have09:25
Hobbseepitti: i thought i had - at least, i had a mirror version of it, which doesn't include the phrase 'archive.ubuntu.com', which may well be it.09:25
Hobbseepitti: it seems to work with uncommenting the rest09:25
Rocket2DMnseems bug 242162 has already been subscribed to u-u-s09:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 242162 in devede "Please sponsor devede_3.9 into Intrepid" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24216209:25
Rocket2DMnnobody has complained yet that i confirmed it09:25
Rocket2DMnwe'll wait on that prism bug, ill see if i can get a MOTU to handle it09:26
Hobbseea sync request is not the same as a merge request, or a new version.  in the latter two cases, a MOTU actually uploads it.  whereas in the first case, a MOTU confirms it, then passes it to the next team.09:26
Hobbseeeither wya, though, you are creating fairly needless bug spam, which doesn't make people generally happy :)09:27
Rocket2DMnyeah, i have a friend on the uf beginners team who does some merges and syncs09:27
Rocket2DMnbasically it seems like i dont want to touch merges09:28
Hobbseeyeah, you can usually leave the workflow bugs completley alone.09:28
Hobbseewhich is all of the categories above09:28
Rocket2DMnas for packages from upstream sources, like bug 248575 which im now looking at, i think i can confirm those and ask a MOTU to take care of it09:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 248575 in lame "Please Upgrade Lame" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24857509:28
Hobbseeoh yeah, tag them with 'upgrade' too09:29
Rocket2DMnotherwise i can leave all these things alone09:29
Hobbseeyeah, pretty much09:30
Hobbseetag those ones with 'upgrade', and otherwise leave them.09:30
Rocket2DMnso like bug 242162  needs the upgrade tag09:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 242162 in devede "Please sponsor devede_3.9 into Intrepid" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24216209:30
HobbseeRocket2DMn: it could.  however, there's probably not a lot of point in it, as the upgrade work's already done.09:31
Hobbseethe upgrade tag usually gets used for "this software is old, and needs an upgrade"09:31
Rocket2DMni feel like im running in circles09:32
Hobbseehehe :)09:32
Rocket2DMngetting an education didnt teach me squat about handling bug reports!09:32
HobbseeRocket2DMn: technically, yes it should.  what you then run into is the concept of "what is correct, vs what is useful"09:33
Rocket2DMnok well u-u-s already has that bug subscribed, ill let them deal with it09:33
HobbseeRocket2DMn: once anything is subscribed to u-u-s, anything else you do to it is effectively useless.09:33
HobbseeRocket2DMn: and just generates mail.09:33
Rocket2DMnyeah i know all about mail09:33
Hobbseehowever, for those packages that *don't* have u-u-s subscribed, the usual rules apply.  afaik, anyway.09:34
Hobbseefeel free to continue in -bugs, btw09:34
Hobbseepeople might want to get development stuff done in here09:34
Rocket2DMnyeah i hang out there, too09:34
Hobbseealthough i suspect they're mostly at their sprint09:35

mdzhmm, I updated to current intrepid (including 2.6.24-4) and ended up with metacity running instead of compiz09:58
mdztoggling it back with the appearance capplet got compiz back, but my keyboard shortcuts were gone09:58
mdzcompiz itself doesn't seem to have changed in a couple of weeks09:59
pittimdz: xorg and mesa did, though10:06
pittimdz: current mesa should unbreak compiz, but gnome-session currently doesn't start compiz; so I wonder how compiz started automatically for you in the first place? Or did you use compiz --replace manually?10:06
seb128pitti: he wrote that he used the appareance capplet10:07
slangasekpitti: so what starts compiz by default on the liveCD?10:07
pittiah, right10:07
seb128mdz: the new gnome-session is not able to do the fallback magic we had, we need to fix compiz10:07
pittislangasek: nothing ATM, I think (with gnome-session from yesterday)10:08
slangasekah10:08
seb128mdz: the keybinding breakage is a compiz bug, I spoke to mvo about it yesterday10:08
slangasekso this was added as a workaround for the compiz problem?10:08
seb128slangasek: no, mesa fixed compiz, the new gnome-session is orthogonal change10:08
slangasekoh. why the behavior change?10:09
pittislangasek: it now decided to not actually do any session startup any more except calling xdg autostart .desktop files :(10:12
slangasekerm10:12
pittiseb128: please confirm ^10:12
slangasekdoes that mean the facility for starting arbitrary programs at startup has disappeared?10:12
pitti.gnome2/session is ignored now, and saving session doesn't work either10:13
slangasekwell, saving session didn't work before either :-P10:13
seb128hum10:13
seb128- old session should still be used, they are not that's a bug10:13
pittislangasek: well, at least it restored the applications10:13
slangasekpitti: not especially10:14
seb128- session saving should be there for intrepid10:14
slangasekpitti: it consistently fails to remember how many gnome-terminal windows I had open, resetting it to some state that it got from somewhere other than my session10:14
seb128slangasek: now gnome-session has stages and use autostart desktop files to start things10:14
seb128compiz has to ship a such .desktop and register correctly to the session10:15
seb128they will add compatibility code for wm which don't do that but that's not done yet10:15

siretartasac: another option would be to say publicy on the mailing list that we don't want smartcard support and why. I'll point users that need that feature to you then ;)13:14
asacsiretart: cant we dlopen it?13:15
asacor does it require too much api symbols to make that feasible?13:15
siretartwe would still need the headers at build time AFAIUI13:15
siretartwhich is why I propose to do a partial MIR13:15
asacok at least it just depends on libc13:17
siretartasac: atm. the new package will additionally depend on libpcsclite113:19
asacsiretart: yes i referred to that when saying that it just depends on libc ;)13:21
lukehasnonameWhat is the difference between nvidia-glx-177 and nvidia-glx-173? They look to support a large overlap of video cards, is that just how nvidia made it? Also, will these drivers make it into hardy? It supports some newer cards that Hardy doesn't.13:21
pittilukehasnoname: tseliot would have details, but I think that -177 is still a beta release and will eventually replace -17313:22
pitti-173 is by and large the old nvidia-glx-new13:22
mdzpitti:  the old new driver ;-)13:23
siretartasac: yes. it used to recommend pcscd, but that was for heaven's sake already demoted to suggests13:24
pitti. o O { which is why we dropped this silly naming schema altogether :) }13:24
asacsiretart: good. currently looking at code. seems like the lib doesnt do much if the server is not running13:25
lukehasnonamepitti: Makes sense. Will one of those two replace ore stand by the hardy glx-new driver, for my above reason? If you don't know, who would I mention this to, or would I file a bug or needs-packaging?13:25
siretartasac: wpasupplicant accepted. please ping me if you have tested it :)13:25
Hobbseetjaalton: i looked earlier, but didn't see one - not sure if i looked in the wrong place13:25
lukehasnoname*ore/or13:25
pittilukehasnoname: yes, tseliot is currently developing scripts for auto-migration13:25
siretartasac: right. I do use pcscd on my laptop, but not for wpa13:25
siretartasac: I use pcscd for my gpg card. for gnupg and libpam-poldi13:26
asacsiretart: question is how well wpasupplicant deals when SHMClientSetupSession fails13:26
siretartwhat is SHMClientSetupSession?13:26
asacsiretart: if i understand its the function in the lib used to establish the socket to pscd (take this with a grain of salt)13:27
tseliotlukehasnoname: have a look at my blog post on the nvidia drivers: http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=21213:31
asacsiretart: wpasupplicant already uses dlopen? ... i see that it LOADSYM the SCard symbols13:32
lukehasnonametseliot: k13:32
asacsiretart: maybe just shipping winscard.h in wpasupplicant is enough then?13:33
siretartasac: possibly that would be enough. but I don't have the impression that libpcsclite is already dlopened. this would probably need some more additional development13:36
lukehasnonametseliot: So you're saying the envy drivers WILL support new video cards, but official hardy drivers won't?13:36
siretartasac: to be more concrete: I have the impression from reading pcsc_funcs.c that dlopen is only used on windows to load some functions from winscard.dll because of mingw limitations13:37
siretartwhich doesn't help us here13:38
* Hobbsee notes that nm has spontaneiously fixed itself.13:38

Vladthis is the development chat for ubuntu correct13:55
Hobbseeyes13:55
VladI was hoping that someone could tell me of an easy to use IDE13:55
Vladi do code some in c++ but new to linux13:56
wgrant'Development of Ubuntu (not support, not application development on Ubuntu)'13:56
VladI apologize I am a noob13:56
Hobbseetry in ##c++ or something13:57
lukehasnonamewgrant: Admittedly, there is not Ubuntu-app-devel group. Maybe there should be one... I wonder what sort of popularity that would have? Anyway, Vlad, check out ubuntuforums.org. Lots of help there.13:57
pwnguinlukehasnoname: there's a ml post about creating a virtual package13:58
Hobbseelukehasnoname: probably because there really is a heck of a lot of apps, and relatively few similarities between them13:58
VladThank you13:58
wgrantAnd there's nothing Ubuntu-specific about application development on Ubuntu.13:58
pwnguinwgrant: well aside from knowing which packages to install, and so on13:59
pwnguinwhich we share with debian13:59
wgrantpwnguin: Is one going to get far with coding if one cannot work out which packages one needs?14:00
Hobbseepwnguin: isn't that a) what apt's for, and b) what upstream developers should already know?14:00
pwnguinand this is what happens every time i bring it up14:00
lukehasnonamewhoa, I walked away and came back to a bombardment of h8. Good points guys, calm down, I'm convinced.14:01
Hobbseetry bringing up a better idea, then?  :)14:01
pwnguinHobbsee: would you then provide that comment to mdz?14:02
pwnguinas the virtual package was his idea14:02
Pelomorning folks, is there an exhaustive list of the hardware supported throught the restricted driver manager ?14:02
Hobbseepwnguin: i wasn't commenting on the metapackage idea.  as far as i knew, he was referring to an irc channel and corresponding group for people who were interested in application development on ubuntu to concentrate.14:03
Hobbseeer, congregate14:03
Hobbseepwnguin: as far as i read it, no one actually replied to your statement about the metapackages.14:03
lukehasnonameHobbsee: right.14:04
lukehasnonameThat was what I was getting at, but as I said, there are enough resources for that already14:04
pwnguinwell, someone would have to actually populate the virt package ;)14:04
Hobbseepwnguin: ubuntu-restricted-extras already does that, for a section.14:04
pwnguinanyways, no point going on with this if theres no support14:04
Hobbseepwnguin: it's rather troublesome, though, as many people have many different ideas about what they all want.14:04
siretartasac: wpasupplicant package in place. please give me feedback if it works for you14:04
siretartasac: I'd like to upload it to unstable then14:05
Hobbseepwnguin: the metapackages idea may well be a good one - i've not expressed an opinion on it at all :)14:05
pwnguinwell every time i mention the need for better dev tools, out of the woodwork come these people with a common theme: new developers should just be smarter14:06
lukehasnonameman, I just read a ML post about how GNU needs a rebuild and how distros like Debian have de facto stolen user's rights to free software14:08
Hobbseepwnguin: i doubt that anyone thinks that better dev tools aren't a good idea.  however, some ideas of dev tools are good, and some are not.  from how i see it, some people jumped on a particular idea, saying it wouldn't help.  i don't see how that then leads to your sweeping generality.14:09
Hobbseelukehasnoname: veracity verified?14:09
lukehasnoname"Instead, we neglected all that grunt work and thus gave rise to Debian and all of the commercial vendors and all of the problems those "mid-stream" players create as they dominate the entire economics of our efforts to create software freedom."14:09
lukehasnonamehttp://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-07/msg00466.html14:10
pwnguinHobbsee: its a pattern, not derived from a single event. but at any rate, last time I said i'd come up with a convincing argument before going at length on it again14:10
pwnguinas i havent done that yet, i think it's time to start thinking14:10
