| mvo | tseliot: lets do it now, where can I see the python module? do we have a bugnumber or something as a reference? | 09:59 |
| tseliot | mvo: install nvidia-common from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~lrm-intrepid/+archive | 10:00 |
| * tseliot looks for the bugreport | 10:00 | |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 249329 in update-manager "Intrepid dist-upgrade fails - 'nvidia-glx' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist" [High,Triaged] | 10:03 |
| mvo | tseliot: NvidiaDetector ? | 10:03 |
| tseliot | mvo: yes | 10:04 |
| tseliot | mvo: it detects drivers with an old name scheme (e.g. nvidia-glx, -new, etc.), does hardware detection and returns the name of the driver to install | 10:05 |
| mvo | tseliot: ok, so the old names go away complettely? | 10:06 |
| tseliot | mvo: yes, there are only nvidia-glx-177, nvidia-glx-173, nvidia-glx-96, nvidia-glx-71 | 10:06 |
| mvo | tseliot: ok, excellent | 10:07 |
| tseliot | mvo: you might have to change your blacklist too | 10:07 |
| mvo | tseliot: I start with removing the old names from the removal blacklist | 10:07 |
| mvo | tseliot: is there any package level (via transitional packages or anything like this) transition going on for the hardy->intrepid upgrade? | 10:08 |
| pitti | tseliot: I'll try and adapt the jockey nvidia handler for the new packages today/tomorrow | 10:08 |
| tseliot | pitti: great, let me know if you need help with Jockey | 10:09 |
| pitti | tseliot: the -modalias packages have the package names now? If so, then this should be straightforward (takes some programming, though) | 10:09 |
| tseliot | mvo: no, since supported hardware has changed too much. This is why we rely on both the Debconf warning in nvidia-common and on Update Manager to select and install the right driver for the card. | 10:10 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, they do | 10:10 |
| tseliot | mvo: if you read here: http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=212 where it says "How does nvidia-common work?" you will see how the Debconf check will work if users decide to dist-upgrade from the command line instead of using Update Manager | 10:13 |
| mvo | tseliot: ok. when do you think will nvidia-common arrive in the archive? I need to build-dep on it than because the release-upgrader will have to ship a copy of the dection code | 10:13 |
| tseliot | mvo: I don't have upload privileges. I think nvidia-common is ready though | 10:14 |
| tseliot | pitti: thoughts on this? | 10:14 |
| mvo | its a new package so it has to go through pitti review anyway :) (or mathiases) | 10:15 |
| pitti | tseliot: last time I looked at it it was fairly ok (see my email response); I didn't test it personlly , though | 10:15 |
| pitti | but since this is blocking both of you now, I'll review/upload/NEW it right now | 10:15 |
| pitti | tseliot: lrm-intrepid PPA? | 10:15 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, it's there | 10:15 |

| tseliot | pitti: you can get the latest (ubuntu12). I haven't set up a bzr branch yet | 10:17 |
| pitti | ok, fine | 10:17 |
| pitti | tseliot: hm, the diff.gz has patches, how weird :) | 10:18 |
| pitti | tseliot: I guess it should be pretty much a native package for now | 10:18 |
| pitti | tseliot: can I give you some review comments right here, or do you want an email? | 10:18 |
| tseliot | mvo: it will be sufficient to make an object of the NvidiaDetection class without any parameter. This should return either None (if no compatible driver can be found) or the name of the appropriate package | 10:18 |
| tseliot | pitti: maybe an email would be better. Thanks | 10:19 |
| mvo | tseliot: I just looked at it, does it require stuff in /usr/share/jockey/modaliases/ that is not yet in intrepid? for me that dir does not contain a lot (but my intrepid is not fully up-to-date) | 10:22 |
| tseliot | mvo: if you install nvidia-common and its dependencies (which are currently in multiverse in Intrepid) then it will be ok | 10:22 |
| mvo | tseliot: basicly I need to ship those files that are required in update-manager as well, because the upgrader can not relie on stuff from intrepid package, it needs to ship the data on its own | 10:22 |
| jmunro | is this the right channel to look for ubuntu packaging advice/support? | 10:23 |
| tseliot | mvo: can't we ship those 3 small packages with the CD (when they are moved to main)? | 10:23 |
| joaopinto | jmunro, #ubuntu-moty is probably a better place | 10:24 |
| joaopinto | ops, motu | 10:24 |
| tseliot | mvo: nvidia-{177|173|96|71}-modaliases are very small | 10:24 |
| jmunro | thanks joaopinto | 10:24 |
| mvo | tseliot: when the upgrader runs, its runs on hardy (ether net or cd) - its fine to have the three files included if they are small, that is no issue. | 10:24 |
| tseliot | mvo: but the modaliases will change every time the drivers are updated | 10:25 |

| mvo | tseliot, pitti: will the modaliases packages move to restricted at some point (instead of multiverse)? | 10:38 |
| tseliot | mvo: the modaliases are identical for 177 too. Ok, there is no difference between 64 and 32 bit in the modaliases | 10:38 |
| pitti | mvo: yes, absolutely | 10:38 |
| pitti | mvo: the drivers themselves, too | 10:38 |
| pitti | mvo: I need the modalias lists as jockey Recommends: as well | 10:39 |
| mvo | tseliot: excellent, thanks for confirming | 10:39 |
| mvo | how often will the nvidia drivers be updated after the intrepid release (in -updates)? if that is going to happen very infrequently I will just build-dep on the modaliases files in update-manager and copy them into the release-upgrader tarball. if it does happen a lot, then a more flexible aproach is needed | 10:42 |
| === ln-_ is now known as ln- | ||
| tseliot | mvo: updates will be done as backports from Intrepid+1 to Intrepid therefore there shouldn't be problems with Update Manager | 10:43 |
| tseliot | mvo: we won't do SRUs as we're doing for Hardy in multiverse | 10:44 |
| mvo | tseliot: ok, I go with the build-dep approach then | 10:44 |
| tseliot | mvo: ok | 10:44 |
| pitti | tseliot: oh, we won't? I thought we'd at least add new driver versions post-release, much similar to what the -envy packages do in hardy right now? | 10:46 |
| pitti | mvo: can the upgrader download the files from somewhere else prior to starting the upgrade? doesn't it already download a blob? | 10:47 |
| tseliot | pitti: with -envy there's a certain amount of risk but you still have the packages in the lrm. In intrepid we should still have something stable which doesn't change, I guess. | 10:47 |
| pitti | tseliot: I agree, but adding newer versions (e. g. as intrepid+1 -> intrepid backports) should be ok? | 10:47 |
| tseliot | pitti: and maybe the backports will keep happy the ones who want the latest driver | 10:48 |
| pitti | like, nvidia-192 backported to intrepid | 10:48 |
| tseliot | pitti: ah, adding a completely new package, you mean. I wouldn't know | 10:48 |
| tseliot | pitti: if you think that using -updates is better, I'm with you on this | 10:49 |
| pitti | -backports or -updates doesn't matter much, as long as jockey/envy can pick it up | 10:49 |
| tseliot | pitti: they don't matter much to me since I'm going to make the packages anyway ;) | 10:50 |
| mvo | pitti: sure, it could do that too, it will just add more waiting and more stress the mirrors. downloading stuff is fragile in release times, the mirrors are all very loaded. if it has no (or hardly none) disadvantages I would rather want to have it included | 10:50 |
| pitti | mvo: *nod* | 10:51 |
| pitti | I was just curious | 10:51 |
| tseliot | mvo: another thing. Maybe reinstalling libgl1-mesa-glx and xserver-xorg-core (before doing the dist-upgrade) could help if users made use of the NVIDIA installer from NVIDIA's website. See this problem which I solved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-177/+bug/250486 | 10:55 |

| mvo | what is the reason that we have 4 modaliases package? would it be possible to have them in a sinle package? or have a meta-package that depends on all available ones so that in the future I don't need to manually update the build-depends on them? | 11:00 |
| pitti | tricky | 11:01 |
| pitti | mvo, tseliot: what about adding all of them to nvidia-common? | 11:02 |
| mvo | sounds good to me | 11:02 |
| pitti | that makes sense anyway, and then you can just b-dep on n-common | 11:02 |
| pitti | hm, hang on | 11:02 |
| pitti | can we b-dep on them in the first place? they'll be in restricted | 11:02 |
| pitti | main -> restricted dependencies -> evil | 11:03 |
| tseliot | mvo: 4 modaliases packages are made when the 4 drivers are built | 11:03 |
| * mvo nods | 11:03 | |
| tseliot | pitti,mvo: I'm afraid I don't understand your suggestion | 11:04 |
| pitti | packages in main can only depend and b-dep on main packages | 11:04 |
| mvo | its not terrible important, it would just be nice. as long as someone reminds me when new modaliases packages become available to update the build-depends in update-manager | 11:04 |
| pitti | mvo: but that doesn't work either way | 11:05 |
| pitti | if we want to do that at all, then the least evil thing (IMHO) we can do is to have the -modalias packages in main and the rest in restricted | 11:05 |
| pitti | 'source in restricted' and 'one binary of it in main' is against the common practice, too, but less evil than b-depending on restricted packages | 11:05 |

| AlexCONRAD | here's Adobe's blog regarding this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gpu.html | 11:37 |
| tseliot | mvo: if doing so seems weird to you I can change it | 11:38 |
| mvo | tseliot: I would prefer something that I call from within python, maybe a @property like driverpkg or drivername ? | 11:40 |
| mvo | tseliot: it looks like "selectDriver()" does that, correct? | 11:41 |
| tseliot | mvo: yes, that's what you need | 11:41 |
| AlexCONRAD | tseliot: I'm doing a bug report right now. Should I provide a specific package? | 11:44 |
| tseliot | AlexCONRAD: linux-restricted-modules | 11:45 |
| AlexCONRAD | ok | 11:45 |
| laga | can someone recommend a log rotation tool? like logrotate, but less broken (eg runs more then once each day) | 11:45 |
| mvo | tseliot: ok, I think then I have all the bits in place now in the code, the outstanding issue is only "main"<->"restirected" barrier | 11:47 |
| tseliot | mvo: ok, I'll apply your corrections (and pitti's) and push them into my branch soon | 11:49 |
| pitti | mvo: I think I'll move the -modalias packages to main | 11:49 |
| pitti | mvo, tseliot: so I think that nvidia-common should depen: on the modalias packages, and u-m should b-dep on n-common; ok with you? | 11:50 |
| * pitti cnat tpye toady | 11:50 | |
| mvo | pitti: that sounds excellent | 11:50 |
| tseliot | pitti: ok | 11:50 |
| * mvo hugs pitti and tseliot | 11:52 | |
| * pitti bounces | 11:52 | |
| * tseliot hugs pitti and mvo | 11:52 | |
| mvo | tseliot: I also need a way to figure out if a old nvidia driver was installed before the upgrade (I don't want to transition people without the binary driver to a binary driver on pgrades). I will just use the oldPackages list for this in getDrivers, does that sound reasonable? | 11:55 |
| tseliot | mvo: what do you mean? If a driver with an old scheme was installed, selectDriver() will return None. Maybe I'm missing the point | 11:57 |
| mvo | tseliot: oh? maybe I haven't got the interface yet :) on upgrade from hardy->intrepid I want to know a) is a nvidia binary driver installed. if so, then I want to install a new nvidia driver with the new naming schema | 11:59 |
| mvo | tseliot: it looks like "printSelection" is doing that, correct? | 12:00 |
| jcristau | it's amazing how much work you guys put into supporting those broken drivers | 12:01 |
| tseliot | mvo: getDrivers() returns True if an old driver was installed | 12:02 |
| tseliot | jcristau: I'm convinced that our users should have the best experience with Ubuntu even though this is not extremely easy with proprietary drivers | 12:03 |
| tseliot | mvo: printSelection() is thought only to interact with bash/debconf | 12:04 |
| laga | regarding upstart - will upstart be used more widely in intrepid? eg in mysql and other stuff in main? | 12:04 |
| mvo | jcristau: true | 12:06 |
| jcristau | (by amazing i mean sad) | 12:07 |
| Wubbbi | jcristau: why sad? oO ... lol thats good not sad | 12:08 |
| Mithrandir | jcristau: too many people need them. :-/ | 12:08 |
| mvo | tseliot: could you please merge again from my tree? this gives me access to oldPackages and then I can check the install status in my code slightly more efficiently | 12:08 |
| Wubbbi | Mithrandir: like me :D | 12:08 |
| Mithrandir | Wubbbi: you're happy you need crappy non-free drivers? | 12:09 |
| jcristau | Mithrandir: sometimes i wonder if the same amount of work put into improving free drivers wouldn't be a better use of everyone's time | 12:09 |
| Wubbbi | I mean if where is a Free Nvidia driver, which can 3D like the Nvidia one, I will use the free. But now The Nvidia Driver is simpy the best ^^ | 12:09 |
| Mithrandir | jcristau: long-term I'm fairly sure it'd be, but short term less so. | 12:10 |
| Mithrandir | jcristau: it'd be nice if 8.10 could ship nouveau though.. | 12:10 |
| Mithrandir | it's bloody stable for me. | 12:10 |
| pitti | would anyone have time to try out my first pre-alpha-test version of my guest session script? (http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/guest-session.py, run with sudo) | 12:10 |
| Wubbbi | Mithrandir: no I'm not happy. But I need it. | 12:10 |
| tseliot | mvo: sorry if it sounds noobish but having always worked by myself I don't know how to merge branches in bzr | 12:10 |
| Wubbbi | I also hate OpenOffice, but I need it for work :( | 12:11 |
| mvo | tseliot: no problem, just run "bzr merge bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mvo/nvidia-common/mvo/" | 12:11 |
| Wubbbi | I Like Koffice or Goffice more | 12:11 |
| pitti | tseliot, mvo: s/bzr+ssh/http/ | 12:11 |
| pitti | actually, just "lp:~mvo/nvidia-common/mvo" should do | 12:12 |
| pitti | bryce, tjaalton: I heard some rumours that the X server sends out a signal of some kind once it's started up and clients can connect to it; do you know details about that? | 12:13 |
| tseliot | mvo: ok, merged. pitti: yes, using http did the trick | 12:14 |
| pitti | tseliot: (explanation: bzr+ssh:// is write access, and you can't write to a branch owned by mvo) | 12:14 |
| tseliot | pitti: ah, ok, it makes sense now. Thanks | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | you can use bzr+ssh: for read access too nowadays | 12:16 |
| tseliot | cjwatson: doing so gave me this error: Permission denied (publickey). | 12:16 |
| tseliot | bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: please check connectivity and permissions (and try -Dhpss if further diagnosis is required) | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | <cjwatson@sarantium ~>$ bzr get bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mvo/nvidia-common/mvo/ | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | Branched 4 revision(s). | 12:16 |
| mvo | tseliot: great, you bzr pushed as well? I will do some final testing after lunch and then I think the branch is ready | 12:16 |
| pitti | cjwatson: oh, neat | 12:17 |
| pitti | cjwatson: so I guess "lp:" is nothing more than a string subst for bzr+ssh://code.launchpad.net/ nowadays | 12:17 |
| jcristau | pitti: the server looks if the sigusr1 handler is set to sig_ign when it starts. if so, it sends sigusr1 to its parent after init | 12:17 |
| tseliot | mvo: pushed now | 12:18 |
| cjwatson | tseliot: that suggests that you don't have ssh configured to use your LP username when sshing to bazaar.launchpad.net. bzr+ssh://albertomilone@bazaar... would have done it | 12:18 |
| pitti | jcristau: nice, thanks! | 12:18 |
| cjwatson | tseliot: but it's easier to put this in ~/.ssh/config and then you can forget about it for ever more: | 12:18 |
| cjwatson | Host bazaar.launchpad.net | 12:18 |
| cjwatson | User albertomilone | 12:18 |

| pitti | seb128: do you have a minute to give a test to my guest session script? | 13:49 |
| seb128 | pitti: yes | 13:51 |
| pitti | seb128: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/guest-session.py | 13:51 |
| pitti | seb128: just running it from your normal session through sudo should work | 13:51 |
| pitti | it starts the guest session, and as soon as you leave it, it returns back to your's | 13:52 |
| pitti | it doesn't lock screen yet or anything, just barely sets it up | 13:52 |
| pitti | PolicyKit, mounting, network-manager etc. should work already | 13:52 |
| seb128 | pitti: is that likely to crash my xsession? | 13:53 |
| pitti | seb128: no, your own should be fine | 13:53 |
| pitti | it's possible that the guest session crashes, though | 13:53 |
| seb128 | alright, trying | 13:53 |
| seb128_ | re | 13:59 |
| seb128_ | I knew it would crash my box :-p | 13:59 |
| seb128_ | hum, brb | 14:00 |
| seb128 | re | 14:00 |
| pitti | seb128: ugh, sorry for that; any idea when/how? | 14:00 |
| seb128 | I would tend to blame VT switch | 14:01 |
| pitti | seb128: oh, compiz? | 14:01 |
| pitti | what did you see so far? it just crashed immediately? | 14:01 |
| seb128 | so it loged me in the guest session after some seconds | 14:02 |
| seb128 | the session is usable | 14:02 |
| seb128 | switching user doesn't work though, can't find Xauthority | 14:02 |
| seb128 | the sound card is not available | 14:03 |
| seb128 | and it froze when I tried to log out | 14:03 |
| pitti | in the guest session? | 14:03 |
| pitti | the script outputs some debug info, but I guess you didn't see that any more | 14:04 |
| pitti | it also leaves a debug log in /tmp/guest_* | 14:04 |
| pitti | .Xauthority? weird, that file should be there; without it, you can't even start the session | 14:04 |
| pitti | seb128: does a normal gdmflexiserver work for you? | 14:05 |
| seb128 | pitti: tried to use the fusa to switch to your normal user? | 14:05 |
| pitti | seb128: no, I didn't try that yet; sec, doing | 14:05 |
| seb128 | pitti: "work" in which way? do you mean "does it crash your box on logout too"? | 14:06 |
| pitti | seb128: fusa doesn't work for me either, thanks for pointing out | 14:08 |
| pitti | seb128: well, yes; "work" in the sense of "starts a new session, session runs normally, and you can stop it, and switch" | 14:09 |
| tseliot | mvo: merged and pushed again | 14:09 |
| seb128 | pitti: let me switch IRC to my laptop | 14:11 |
| * tseliot shuts down his computer. A storm is coming | 14:12 | |
| seb128 | pitti: alright, the box crashes the same way when closing a gdmflexiserver session | 14:14 |
| Riddell | bash question, what does the @ mean at the start of this? @if [ ! -x "$(DH_SAMEVERSIONDEPS)" ]; then chmod a+x "$(DH_SAMEVERSIONDEPS)"; fi; | 14:15 |
| pitti | Riddell: is that Make? | 14:15 |
| jcristau | sounds like a make question | 14:15 |
| Riddell | pitti: yes | 14:16 |
| StevenK | Riddell: That's Make. "Don't echo the line before running it" | 14:16 |
| Riddell | doesn't sound too important then, thanks. | 14:16 |
| pitti | seb128: I see; maybe you can try disabling compiz? | 14:17 |
| pitti | (did you get compiz in the guest?) | 14:17 |
| seb128 | you think it's due to compiz? I'm not sure now but I don't think compiz works out of the first session, xorg limitation | 14:18 |
| seb128 | no I didn't anyway, that's intrepid and gnome-session doesn't default to compiz | 14:19 |
| pitti | ah, ok | 14:20 |
| pitti | hm, no idea then, I'm afraid | 14:20 |
| pitti | if it happens even with gdmflexiserver, it's beyond my current knowledge :( | 14:21 |
| seb128 | the syslog has a general protection error in wacom_drv.so and then the restart | 14:22 |
| seb128 | and I couldn't ssh to the box after the crash either so it seems linux didn't like it | 14:22 |
| sistpoty|work | hm... current daily gives me read errors from the iso when simulating in faumachine... has anyone observed this on a real box? | 14:24 |

| superm1 | pitti, yeah its in upstream git already | 15:02 |
| superm1 | i listed the link on the bug report | 15:02 |
| superm1 | mebrown will be doing a libsmbios release in the next week to two weeks, so i'll submit the hal patch upstream once there is a new libsmbios "release" for hal to depend on | 15:03 |

| pitti | that would be weird | 15:08 |
| soren | It would, wouldn't it? | 15:08 |
| soren | Maybe it's my mk-sbuild-chroot script that's misbehaving. :/ | 15:09 |

| slangasek | seb128: hum, that certainly could be a samba issue, but it's not one that I've encountered; that's kind of an opaque error message, in any case | 15:27 |
| soren | Oh, apt is no longer build-essential. | 15:27 |
| soren | Is that intentional? | 15:28 |
| slangasek | seb128: any chance they're running the aborted hardy-proposed version of gvfs? | 15:28 |
| seb128 | slangasek: did you read the current comment on the bug? and they could, but there is a new upstream version available in hardy-proposed for some time now so that's not really likely | 15:30 |

| cody-somerville | What does reason "none" mean for a reject? :P | 15:48 |
| soren | cody-somerville: I /think/ it means that whoever rejected it didn't bother to state a reason. Usually that means that they've sent you a separate e-mail about it or pung you on IRC. | 15:49 |
| cjwatson | I don't believe that the tools allow stating a reason right now, at least not the command-line tools | 15:49 |

| cjwatson | ogra: thanks | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | soren: germinate recently got upgraded on drescher/mawson, so I expect it's a consequence of newly-handled Recommends there | 15:52 |
| soren | cjwatson: Oh, and then germinate removes it from build-essential so that it'd only get listed once? | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | right, build-essential inherits from required | 15:52 |
| soren | Ok, got it. | 15:53 |
| cjwatson | the fix is either for an archive admin to promote it to required, or for the recommends to be dropped to <=suggests, or for germinate not to consider recommends in the required seed | 15:53 |
| soren | Ok, I'll hand-hold debootstrap --variant=buildd for now.. | 15:53 |

| slangasek | trying to install 'apt-get install ubuntu-live^' in a chroot, doesn't give me any errors either | 16:04 |
| slangasek | and that's what the livecd does | 16:05 |
| slangasek | (plus bits) | 16:05 |
| seb128 | slangasek: when did you run this cd build? | 16:05 |
| BenC | Riddell: in what situation is this bug occuring? | 16:05 |
| pitti | I just checked with grep-dctrl, no versioned dpeendendies to scrollkeeper in main | 16:06 |
| Riddell | BenC: creating the livefs | 16:06 |
| Riddell | BenC: also in my chroot just installing grub | 16:06 |
| slangasek | BenC: I think that kernel-helper -i shouldn't be called in the postinst when [ -z "$2" ] | 16:06 |
| slangasek | but maybe there are some reasons you'd want to call it on first install | 16:07 |
| BenC | Riddell: That's what I thought....how can I detect this situation...or do you think I can just ignore the fact that it doesn't exist? | 16:07 |
| seb128 | slangasek: so, the CD build try was today? | 16:08 |
| slangasek | seb128: yes, and also yesterday | 16:09 |
| seb128 | slangasek: yesterday rarian-compat was in universe | 16:09 |
| slangasek | then perhaps it gave a different error yesterday :) | 16:09 |
| seb128 | cjwatson mentionned moving it back to main again | 16:09 |
| pitti | but that was this (late) morning | 16:10 |
| seb128 | no idea about today's issue though, works fine for me on my machines | 16:10 |
| pitti | later than the CD cron jobs | 16:10 |
| slangasek | pitti: I just did another buildlive run to check, though | 16:10 |
| pitti | ah, ok | 16:10 |
| pitti | tseliot: so nvidia-common is in bzr now? or will you upload to ppa again? | 16:11 |
| tseliot | pitti: it's in my bzr. I'll upload it to my PPA now | 16:14 |
| pitti | tseliot: I'm happy to pull from your bzr, that's faster, especially for future updates | 16:15 |
| tseliot | pitti: perfect. Let's use bzr then | 16:15 |
| pitti | tseliot: lp:what? | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | seb128: I moved it yesterday IIRC | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | pitti: this morning> I think you're mixed up, I'm sure it was yesterday | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: try 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^' rather than ubuntu-desktop | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | Package: scrollkeeper | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | Task: ubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop-kde, xubuntu-desktop | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | that can't be helping | 16:18 |
| tseliot | pitti: lp:nvidia-common | 16:18 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: aha, bingo | 16:18 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: so that needs an ubuntu-meta upload to fix? | 16:18 |
| slangasek | (et al.) | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | I thought there'd already been one | 16:19 |
| ogra | how does edubuntu-desktop-kde ge in there ? | 16:19 |
| ogra | *get | 16:19 |
| cjwatson | never mind that for now :) | 16:19 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: germinate on drescher claims it's directly seeded | 16:19 |
| Riddell | BenC: moi? if I knew how to fix it I wouldn't be bugging you :) | 16:20 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: hrm | 16:20 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: not since the 17th | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | as does http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.intrepid/desktop | 16:20 |
| slangasek | things are failing to see the seed updates? | 16:20 |
| pitti | nothing in my seed grep any more, hmm | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | yeah, http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/ubuntu.intrepid/ is stuck | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | investigating | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | stuck on a lock | 16:21 |
| * BenC is uploading a new grub now | 16:22 | |
| BenC | slangasek: last I tried, I couldn't commit to grub bzr... | 16:23 |
| slangasek | BenC: what was the error? There was a bzr bug shortly before the hardy release that might've prevented it at that time, but it's been working fine for me | 16:24 |
| slangasek | (ever since, I mean) | 16:24 |
| pitti | tseliot: please commit back the COPYING file | 16:25 |
| pitti | tseliot: it's necessary to have a full copy of the license in the source tarball | 16:25 |
| pitti | tseliot: (it was there before) | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | moreover, stuck on a nonexistent lock. WTF | 16:25 |
| lukehasnoname | Hey slangasek, I you're the maintainer for acpi-support? Is Bug 59695 going to be fixed for intrepid, and how? If you can link me to this question being answered, that's cool, but I haven't seen anything on the wiki. | 16:26 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 59695 in dell "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/59695 | 16:26 |
| slangasek | lukehasnoname: Ubuntu doesn't have individual package maintainers; I've touched acpi-support a couple of times for specific reasons, but it's not my area of responsibility | 16:26 |
| tseliot | pitti: ? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/nvidia-common/main/files | 16:27 |
| tseliot | pitti: it's there | 16:27 |
| pitti | tseliot: argh, ignore me; I'm retarted | 16:27 |
| pitti | retarded, even | 16:27 |
| tseliot | pitti: we're all tired, I guess ;) | 16:27 |
| lukehasnoname | slangasek: Ya, I knew you aren't the sole maintainer, but I saw your name on the bug list, so I figured you might have info. I should have stated that better. Do you have info? Does anyone? | 16:28 |
| slangasek | lukehasnoname: but the load/unload cycle one is very hairy - I didn't think acpi-support was currently to blame for anything in that area | 16:28 |
| ogra | seb128, if you actually plan to have a SRU for bug 247507, could you note that on the bug ? | 16:29 |

| ogra | wow, the bugbot isnt the fastest today | 16:29 |
| slangasek | BenC: the official branch is in ~ubuntu-core-dev, you should have access to that AFAIK? | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: I've fixed the stuck lock; should clear through the archive shortly | 16:29 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: great, thanks | 16:29 |
| slangasek | BenC: bzr push bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/ubuntu/ - WFM | 16:30 |
| slangasek | BenC: if you were using an http-only url for the pull, you have to change it for the push | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | ogra: the edubuntu-desktop-kde entry is due to edubuntu-docs's Depends | 16:30 |
| BenC | slangasek: I'll try to update the bzr branch | 16:30 |
| slangasek | BenC: thanks | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | BenC: it's easiest to just do 'bzr checkout bzr+ssh://...', and then commits will autopush | 16:31 |
| BenC | cjwatson: right, that's what I'm used to | 16:31 |
| seb128 | ogra: would be nice but there is way too much to do for me right now so I doubt I'll work on this change any time soon, trying to catch up on things after 2 weeks travelling, new GNOME this week, hardy updates and intrepid, etc etc etc | 16:33 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: any chance you could upload a recent s-c-p snapshot to intrepid soon? I need it for the new jockey | 16:33 |
| ogra | seb128, ok, understood ... i dont really know which function i have to patch, else i would do it | 16:33 |
| pitti | tseliot, mvo: nvidia-common uploaded and NEWed to main | 16:36 |
| tseliot | pitti: great :-D | 16:36 |
| slangasek | lukehasnoname: so can you point to something specifically in acpi-support that's doing the wrong thing? That bug log is horrifically long | 16:36 |
| * pitti promotes nvidia-graphics-* to restricted | 16:36 | |
| lukehasnoname | slangasek: ehh lemme look | 16:37 |
| pitti | tseliot, mvo: -modaliases promoted to main, other stuff to restricted | 16:38 |
| tseliot | pitti: fantastic :-) | 16:38 |
| mvo | Riddell: do you know if martin böhm would be interessted in some gdebi-kde work again? I would like to talk about using a konsole-less approach with him there too (just like in update-manager) | 16:38 |
| mvo | pitti: great, thanks | 16:38 |
| pitti | packagekit-kde!! (*cough*) | 16:39 |
| mvo | pitti: even that will benefit from that | 16:41 |
| tseliot | mvo: if you're referring to a KDE4 port of gdebi-kde you can use a qProcess and display the output in a textview. I don't know how well would it work with Debconf and other things that require user interaction though | 16:41 |
| seb128 | ogra: ok, vuntz has a solution for you (you should be on #ubuntu-desktop ;-), they have an opensuse patch that should fix your issue | 16:42 |
| Riddell | mvo: I suspect he doesn't want to work on it any more | 16:42 |
| Riddell | mvo: but there was someone working on a qt 4 port of it which would have to include that | 16:42 |
| mvo | tseliot: yeah, for the kde dist-upgrade we did something like this (but with basic terminal emulation) | 16:43 |
| Riddell | mvo: I'm going out now, I'll look it up when i get back | 16:43 |
| mvo | Riddell: if you could make him get in touch with me about this, that would be great, I would love to get the simple solution from update-manager | 16:43 |
| mvo | Riddell: sure, no rush -and thanks | 16:44 |
| tseliot | pitti: does packagekit support debconf already? | 16:44 |
| pitti | tseliot: no, it doesn't | 16:45 |
| pitti | (that's why it's not a general replacement yet) | 16:45 |
| tseliot | pitti: too bad | 16:45 |

| slangasek | what version of bzr is that? | 17:04 |
| james_w | I'm guessing that the grub branch is a bzr-svn import. | 17:06 |

| pitti | seb128: bonsoir | 17:10 |
| seb128 | and mpt just had the same issue after upgrading firefox in hardy | 17:10 |
| asac | seb128: strange ... i tested passwords here | 17:11 |
| mdomsch_YOW | mario_limonciell, bingo | 17:11 |
| seb128 | asac: bookmarks nuked too for mpt apparently | 17:11 |
| pitti | eww | 17:11 |
| mpt | I lost bookmarks and history. I don't know whether I would have lost passwords, because I never save passwords. | 17:11 |
| pitti | asac: will epiphany-browser | 2.22.2-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 (previous version) work with the new xulrunner? | 17:12 |
| pitti | i. e. if we need to pull epy, do we need to pull xulrunner, too? | 17:13 |
| asac | it should | 17:13 |
| asac | i have it installed here | 17:13 |
| seb128 | what did you guys pushed to security or updates today? | 17:13 |
| pitti | mpt: if you downgrade to the previous epiphany-browser, do you get them back? | 17:13 |
| pitti | seb128: firefox, xulrunner, epiphany | 17:13 |
| asac | epiphany? | 17:13 |
| seb128 | so the full combo, hum | 17:13 |
| asac | ouch | 17:13 |
| seb128 | asac: "ouch"? | 17:13 |
| asac | i didnt specifically verify that | 17:13 |
| pitti | hm, you told me I should? | 17:14 |
| seb128 | the epiphany change was a one liner to the printing scale code | 17:14 |
| asac | pitti: i said multiple times "just ffox/xul" | 17:14 |
| seb128 | no reason to not | 17:14 |
| pitti | uh | 17:14 |
| asac | anyway. lets see | 17:14 |
| asac | i cannot reproduce password not remembered issues | 17:14 |
| pitti | so, we need to test it with the old epy, to see whether it's in epy itself, or in xul | 17:14 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, that should work | 17:14 |
| seb128 | I've several hardy box not upgraded so I can do some testing if you guys want me to test something | 17:14 |
| pitti | asac: not password, bookmark | 17:15 |
| mpt | pitti, I'd like to try that. How do I downgrade? | 17:15 |
| asac | bookmarks are remembered for me now | 17:15 |
| pitti | ls /var/cache/apt/archives/epiphany-browser | 17:15 |
| pitti | mpt: ^ if you do that, any hits? | 17:15 |

| pitti | argh | 17:16 |
| pitti | ls /var/cache/apt/archives/epiphany-browser* | 17:16 |
| pitti | mpt: forgot the * | 17:16 |
| mpt | No such file or directory | 17:16 |

| seb128 | mpt: grep installed /var/log/dpkg.log | 17:16 |
| seb128 | mpt: what is listed for today? | 17:16 |
| mpt | The only things starting with "e" in that directory are evolution* | 17:16 |
| tseliot | pitti: I'll have another look at it tomorrow, just to be sure | 17:17 |
| pitti | tseliot: I'll get ot it later, seems this epy regression needs full attention now | 17:18 |
| mpt | seb128, language packs, firefox-2 stuff, libsoundtouch1c2, and libc6. | 17:18 |
| seb128 | I don't get why the firefox2 update would impact on xul1.9 applications | 17:18 |
| seb128 | asac: ^? | 17:18 |
| mpt | It could have been just a coincidence | 17:18 |
| pitti | mpt: dpkg -l epiphany-browser -> which version does it show? | 17:18 |
| mpt | ii epiphany-brows 2.22.2-0ubuntu Intuitive web browser - dummy package | 17:19 |
| pitti | argh, silly dpkg | 17:19 |
| * mpt wonders how on earth something can be intuitive and a dummy at the same time | 17:19 | |
| pitti | mpt: dpkg -l epiphany-browser |grep ^ii | 17:19 |
| seb128 | mpt: 2 persons having a similar issue on the same day when we got nothing like this in ages is weird coincidence, I prefer to triple check that | 17:19 |
| mpt | pitti, 2.22.2-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 | 17:19 |
| pitti | so, that's the old one | 17:20 |
| pitti | not the one which went into -updates today | 17:20 |
| mpt | I didn't see any Epiphany updates in update-manager | 17:20 |
| mpt | just Firefox and language packs | 17:20 |
| seb128 | firefox being firefox2 which epiphany is not using | 17:21 |
| pitti | mpt: dpkg -l xulrunner-1.9|grep ^ii | 17:21 |
| mpt | pitti, 1.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 | 17:21 |
| asac | thats still the old one | 17:21 |
| pitti | ok, that's also the old one | 17:21 |
| pitti | today 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 went to -updates | 17:22 |
| asac | good luck ;) | 17:22 |
| pitti | mpt: ok, thanks so far | 17:22 |
| asac | seb128: that thing was more than a week in -proposed. is there really no other bug about something similar? | 17:22 |
| pitti | so apparently it is not related to today's updates at alll | 17:22 |
| seb128 | asac: could the firefox2 update impact on running epiphany instances? | 17:22 |
| asac | not that i can think off. they are unrelated | 17:22 |
| seb128 | asac: no, I would have nothing, I read all the incoming bugs mails I receive | 17:22 |
| seb128 | s/nothing/noticed | 17:23 |
| seb128 | maybe just a weird coincidence | 17:23 |
| asac | seb128: yeah. what was the bug filed today? | 17:23 |
| pitti | I asked for the precise versions in the bug now | 17:23 |
| seb128 | asac: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/250763 was filed 6 hours ago | 17:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 250763 in epiphany-browser "Epiphany cannot remember passwords nor certficates after a restart" [Low,Triaged] | 17:23 |
| pitti | asac: 6 hours ago | 17:24 |
| asac | ok thats not related then | 17:24 |
| asac | or | 17:24 |
| seb128 | asac: and mpt just mentioned his issue on #epiphany some minutes ago | 17:24 |
| pitti | that was before I moved the new stuff to -updates | 17:24 |
| asac | would be quick | 17:24 |
| seb128 | mpt did update those | 17:24 |
| seb128 | but he did get the firefox2 update | 17:24 |
| seb128 | s/did/didn't, can't type | 17:24 |
| mpt | It happened shortly after I installed the firefox 2 update | 17:25 |
| mpt | (I have both FF2 and FF3 installed for testing purposes) | 17:25 |
| pitti | maybe these two share the same profile, and something went wrong with profile managemnet? | 17:25 |
| asac | mpt: right. that will only cause pain for firefox (when switching back and forward) | 17:25 |
| asac | pitti: i doubt that. unless mpt uses manually setup profiles of course | 17:25 |
| mpt | I do not | 17:26 |
| mpt | (though I'm tempted, because it's mildly irritating that every time I launch FF3 after using FF2 I get the Ubuntu start page) | 17:26 |
| asac | mpt: and what happens if you starte ffx2 after ff3? | 17:26 |
| mpt | asac, I get my home page as expected | 17:26 |
| asac | ok | 17:27 |
| seb128 | asac, pitti: just installed the firefox-2 current version on an hardy box, didn't crash epiphany, upgrading to today's xulrunner and firefox update didn't create any issue either | 17:38 |
| seb128 | I'll keep an eye for similar issues | 17:38 |
| pitti | I subscribed to the bug, too | 17:38 |
| seb128 | but so far it could just be a coincidence | 17:38 |
| AlexCONRAD | tseliot: update of bug 250792 | 17:40 |

| mpt | seb128, also, "Web History (Epiphany)" and "Web Bookmarks (Epiphany)" turned themselves off in Deskbar Preferences | 17:40 |
| mpt | (maybe because they couldn't find the necessary data) | 17:40 |
| seb128 | mpt: do you still have bookmarks in .gnome2/epiphany/ephy-bookmarks.xml or some backup files in this directory? | 17:41 |
| tseliot | AlexCONRAD: I'll have a look at it ASAP | 17:42 |
| huats | Is the kind of licence like that one http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/tktreectrl-0807181630/tktreectrl-2.2.5/license.terms is allowed in ubuntu? | 17:43 |
| huats | it is the one commonly used in tcl pakage | 17:43 |
| huats | ... | 17:43 |
| mpt | seb128, hey, this directory contains a couple of desktop background pictures I'd lost, thanks :-) | 17:43 |
| huats | it is the same than the one used in the tcl/tk license terms http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/license.html | 17:43 |
| huats | apparently elmo, you might be the person to ask :) | 17:43 |
| pitti | the last paragraph is a bit hard to interpret | 17:44 |
| pitti | first, it limits usage by governments, and then the last sentence almost, but not quite, reverts the limitation | 17:44 |
| pitti | (it just says "use and distribute", not "modify") | 17:44 |
| mpt | seb128, but yes, it contains a backup that has most of the missing bookmarks | 17:45 |
| pitti | tseliot: hmm, now that all four modules are just called 'nvidia', I can only have one handler instead of three; so I wonder which xorg.conf options I should apply to each of those versions... | 17:46 |
| pitti | tseliot: I can still tell them apart by looking at the package name, of course | 17:46 |
| slangasek | pitti: the definition of "Restricted Rights" in US law basically means "getting a copy of this on behalf of the government doesn't automatically give you special privileges" | 17:46 |
| slangasek | so I don't think that's a problem | 17:47 |
| elmo | huats: I am not an archive admin, but I think it's fine | 17:47 |
| huats | elmo: pitti told me that you might be a good person to ask :) | 17:48 |
| pitti | elmo: thanks for reviewing | 17:48 |
| huats | elmo: thanks for your opinion :) | 17:48 |
| huats | pitti: thanks too :) | 17:49 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, the module is always "nvidia". There are no specific options for each driver. If Jockey can tell one model from the other then some card-specific options can be applied. | 17:51 |
| pitti | tseliot: for now I think I'll just continue to use the few I have in hardy | 17:52 |
| pitti | tseliot: (-71: AllowGLXWithComposite, UseEdidFreqs; -96: AddARGBGLXVisuals) | 17:52 |
| pitti | tseliot: at some point I'd like to merge the much better option mapping you have in envy | 17:52 |
| pitti | but for getting in the initial support for the new packages I'll just use those coarse ones | 17:53 |
| pitti | tseliot: do you happen to know if I can set AllowGLXWithComposite in the screen section, too? or just in the Driver section? | 17:54 |
| tseliot | pitti: wise choice. I'll give you a hand with this. I have yet to make EnvyNG work on Intrepid. Maybe disabling the dri2 module would be nice too. | 17:54 |
| tseliot | pitti: we should include X-Kit too | 17:54 |
| pitti | tseliot: dri2> for all versions? yes, I can do that easily | 17:54 |
| pitti | remove_modules=['dri', 'GLcore'] | 17:54 |
| pitti | ^ current code | 17:54 |
| pitti | so I'll add dri2? | 17:54 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, for all versions | 17:54 |
| tseliot | pitti: removing "dri2" is not enough. You will have to set Disable "dri2" | 17:55 |
| pitti | in which section? | 17:55 |
| tseliot | pitti: you can do that with X-Kit ;) | 17:55 |
| tseliot | in the Module section | 17:55 |
| pitti | tseliot: getting there, getting there... but I'd like to push out something working for alpha-3, if possible | 17:56 |
| seb128 | mpt: ephy-bookmarks.xml has most of the bookmarks? or do you have a backup which have those? do you get any error if you run epiphany on a command line? | 17:56 |
| mpt | seb128, ephy-bookmarks.xml did not, but there were two backup files, one of which contained most of them | 17:56 |
| seb128 | ephy-bookmarks.xml was empty? | 17:57 |
| seb128 | do you have anything about epiphany in .xsession-errors? | 17:57 |
| mpt | ephy-bookmarks.xml wasn't empty, it contained the bookmarks that I'd added since I lost them all | 17:58 |
| tseliot | pitti: disabling "dri2" is not extremely important but users will report a driver failure as being caused by "dri2" if you don't disable it. The nvidia driver will still work | 17:58 |
| mpt | When I run Epiphany from a command line I get "(epiphany-browser:32738): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "((GaProtocol) 2)" of type `GaProtocol' is invalid or out of range for property `flags' of type `GaProtocol'" and "(epiphany-browser:32738): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_unref: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed" | 17:58 |
| mpt | seb128, and when I close Epiphany with Ctrl W it says "Segmentation fault", though when I close it with the title bar close button it exits properly | 17:59 |
| mpt | (I'm guessing that's a whole different bug) | 17:59 |
| seb128 | the other bugs are similar warning, but yes could be a different issue | 18:00 |
| seb128 | asac: ^ any idea about those? | 18:00 |
| mpt | aha | 18:00 |
| mpt | /home/mpt/.gnome2/epiphany/ephy-bookmarks.xml:162: parser error : expected '>' <parent id="5"/> | 18:00 |
| mpt | /home/mpt/.gnome2/epiphany/ephy-bookmarks.xml:162: parser error : Opening and en | 18:01 |
| mpt | ding tag mismatch: property line 0 and unparseable | 18:01 |
| mpt | That explains a lot :-) | 18:01 |
| tseliot | pitti: about AllowGLXWithComposite: http://pastebin.com/d2ce43337 | 18:01 |
| tseliot | pitti: are you sure that enabling it is still a good idea? | 18:01 |
| asac | mpt: is that file broken? | 18:02 |
| pitti | tseliot: not first hand, I just got it from bug reports | 18:02 |
| pitti | tseliot: I can drop it for now and try to find a tester who uses -legacy | 18:02 |
| pitti | sorry, -96 in newspeak | 18:02 |
| mpt | asac, I guess it was (I've restored it from backup since then) | 18:02 |
| * mpt looks forward to XML 5 and more tolerant XML parsers | 18:03 | |
| tseliot | pitti: currently 71 and 96 don't work at all because of the new Xserver ABI :-/ | 18:03 |
| pitti | heh, ok | 18:03 |
| asac | mpt: if it was broken like in "not-complete" then you most likely had a crash while ephy synched bookmarks | 18:03 |
| pitti | well, I just drop it for now, thne | 18:03 |
| asac | thats the only explanation i have at hand | 18:03 |
| * ion_ looks forward to S-exps. :-) | 18:03 | |
| mpt | s/forward to S-exps/backward to S-exps/ | 18:03 |
| * mpt flees | 18:03 | |
| ion_ | Yeah | 18:04 |
| mpt | Anyway, S-expressions aren't any more fault-tolerant than XML -- they're theoretically less fault-tolerant, precisely because they're more concise | 18:04 |

| hwilde | so, how do you unset the root password if someobdy set it | 21:36 |
| hwilde | !root | 21:37 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:37 |
| slangasek | hwilde: by editing /etc/shadow, but that question seems a bit off-topic here | 21:38 |
| hwilde | nobody else knows :( | 21:38 |
| slangasek | (there are other tools that can be used to edit /etc/shadow for you, but I never remember what they are, so I just edit /etc/shadow) | 21:38 |
| mkrufky | seriously, dont worry about the roor password | 21:38 |
| mkrufky | root | 21:38 |
| hwilde | people are setting the root pw | 21:38 |
| mkrufky | somebody set it? who cares? | 21:38 |
| mkrufky | use sudo anyway | 21:39 |
| * hwilde stares at mkrufky | 21:39 | |
| mkrufky | disable root login in ssh | 21:39 |
| mkrufky | (should be disabled by default anyway, no?) | 21:39 |
| hwilde | roor is cool tho :) | 21:40 |
| hwilde | nice typo | 21:40 |
| slangasek | BenC: grub 0.97-29ubuntu29 still fails to install in the livefs build chroots | 22:01 |
| ion_ | benc: A wrong value (1 instead of 0) seems to have slipped into fail_exit_val in kernel-helper -i. | 22:03 |
| asac | ogra: there? where is the latest hardy cmpc image? | 22:06 |
| ogra | asac, usual place :) | 22:06 |
| ogra | http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/classmate/images/hardy/ | 22:07 |
| asac | ogra: is that known to work? | 22:08 |
| ogra | asac, https://bugs.launchpad.net/cmpc/+bugs the fix commited bugs look for confirmation (even though you might not have the HW for many of them) | 22:08 |
| ogra | well, it works fine here on my 1.5 HW | 22:08 |
| ogra | i dont test on 1.0 anymore but would be good to hear if it works there indeed | 22:09 |

| BenC | slangasek: I thought I tested it, but I guess I didn't hit the proper situation | 22:22 |
| ion_ | benc: It would be nice if it printed something like "$0: No vmlinuz, exiting.", btw. | 22:25 |
| BenC | slangasek: Uploaded fixed one (exit val at 0) | 22:25 |
| slangasek | ok, cheers | 22:25 |
| alex-weej | ogra: hi | 22:55 |
| ogra | alex-weej, hey, i have to relocate (hop in a taxi etc) but will be online later again | 22:56 |

| mathiaz | slangasek: about the slapd cnconfig migration I sent to the pkg-openldap-maintainer list, is there a chance it will get accepted for lenny ? | 23:05 |

| slangasek | mathiaz: currently queued up behind PAM upstream merges in my brain, though :)m | 23:06 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: how does the debian freeze work then ? | 23:06 |
| slangasek | mathiaz: well, today a member of the Debian release team who will remain nameless declared that "vorlon can do whatever he wants" ;P | 23:07 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: right... I see your point :D | 23:07 |
| slangasek | mathiaz: in the early stages, the Debian freeze is mostly about getting the archive into a consistent state; this takes longer in Debian than in Ubuntu, in part because Debian sets the bar higher | 23:08 |
| slangasek | things like changing the slapd config setup, while significant, are self-contained and don't bother the release team so much | 23:09 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: ok | 23:09 |
| ogra | and NMUs are harder than team maintenance | 23:09 |
| slangasek | unless they happen in the last weeks before release, and cause a regression ;) | 23:09 |
