| RAOF | Hm. update-grub seems to have eaten my grub.cfg. Yay. | 00:10 |
| nxvl | to sponsor a sync | 00:12 |
| nxvl | i need to ACK it and suscribe ~ubuntu-archive, don't i? | 00:12 |
| RAOF | Yup. | 00:12 |
| Laney | and set it to confirmed | 00:12 |
| === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as Kopfi|offline | ||
| Laney | and unsubscribe u-u-s! | 00:13 |
| nxvl | Laney: that's the first thing i did | 00:13 |
| RAOF | Always with the unsubscribing, yes. | 00:13 |
| nxvl | :D | 00:13 |
| RAOF | !!! | 00:21 |
| RAOF | Where did /boot go? | 00:21 |
| directhex | sorry, i was hungry | 00:21 |
| RAOF | This is probably why grub-probe is somewhat confused. | 00:22 |
| === superm1 is now known as superm1|away | ||
| RAOF | You know, I should probably merge grub-pc if I'm gonna use it; it seems debian's newer snapshot is full of "please don't die" bugfixes. | 00:25 |
| RAOF | Oh. I think I know what ate my /boot. Stupid parallel fsck! | 00:29 |
| * wgrant spits out /boot's bones. | 00:29 | |
| RAOF | Nothing says "I love you" more than having a mount point not exist every now and then. | 00:30 |
| james_w | I have "intltool-update.in -> /usr/share/intltool/intltool-update.in" in a couple of packages, which fail to build in Intrepid as that file is not available, even in the intltool package, has anyone else seen this? | 00:42 |
| james_w | anyone know where they went? | 00:43 |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | ||
| RAOF | james_w: I believe that's a change in the new intltool. | 00:46 |
| RAOF | james_w: I hit that packaging Do; I believe intltool would now like to be run as a part of ./configure | 00:47 |
| directhex | how nice for it | 00:50 |
| directhex | isn't it a little bit late in the day for intrepid for intltool to break everyones' packages? | 00:50 |
| james_w | RAOF: thanks, do you know what I need to change? | 00:51 |
| james_w | it's ./configure where it bombs out | 00:52 |
| emgent | kirkland: your ecrypfs r0cks. i fixed my system problem | 00:52 |
| emgent | now work very nice. | 00:52 |
| kirkland | emgent: thanks, dude. what was your problem? | 00:52 |
| RAOF | james_w: From memory, with Do I acually added the intltools stuff to configure.ac and re-autogen'd | 00:52 |
| emgent | kirkland: in the first step i dont put same password in login and ecryptfs, after that more problem (you know). i removed all an i start new clean setup. now work fine. | 00:54 |
| kirkland | emgent: very good... i wonder if i should improve the documentation/prompts somehow? | 00:54 |
| kirkland | i wish there were an easy way for me to validate that password | 00:55 |
| emgent | kirkland: documentation is very good, you wrote (add same login system password), It was my mistake | 00:55 |
| kirkland | emgent: okay, thanks | 00:55 |
| emgent | kirkland: no thanks to you! :) | 00:55 |
| emgent | kirkland: do you have a launchpad branch for ecryptfs ? | 00:57 |
| kirkland | emgent: no, it's managed in git.kernel.org | 00:58 |
| emgent | i'm asking about tool | 00:58 |
| emgent | ecryptfs-setup-private ecc.. | 00:58 |
| kirkland | emgent: i have passed ALL of the code I've written to the upstream ecryptfs-utils project | 00:59 |
| emgent | okkay great! :) | 00:59 |
| kirkland | emgent: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mhalcrow/ecryptfs-utils.git;a=summary | 00:59 |
| kirkland | emgent: i send my patches to the mailing list, and Mike applies them | 01:00 |

| emgent | yeah nice work, thanks kirkland ! | 01:02 |
| kirkland | emgent: that's it :-) | 01:03 |
| kirkland | emgent: i think i'm going to add a check, if you've previously run ecryptfs-setup-private, and if so, error out, and tell you that you have to use a "-f" option to force it | 01:03 |
| emgent | nice i can remove flashusb for .ssh .gnupg .mozilla-thunderbird and .mozilla | 01:04 |
| kirkland | emgent: I also want to add a "--undo" option too | 01:04 |
| emgent | now i can use this stuff. | 01:04 |
| kirkland | emgent: ;-) | 01:04 |
| emgent | very good :) | 01:04 |

| mok0 | Shouldn't intrepid be available to hardy's debootstrap? | 13:41 |
| mok0 | ... at least in backports | 13:42 |
| jpds | mok0: It is as of 1.0.9~hardy1. | 13:45 |
| mok0 | jpds: huh? I have 1.0.8 | 13:45 |
| mok0 | jpds: ah, I thought I had backports enabled, bummer! | 13:46 |
| jpds | mok0: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/debootstrap/1.0.9~hardy1 | 13:46 |
| mok0 | thx | 13:46 |
| ScottK | mok0: I saw you were trying to ping me yesterday. | 13:56 |
| mok0 | ScottK: yes, thanks for looking at gamgi | 13:56 |
| mok0 | ScottK: but please see my comment | 13:56 |
| ScottK | mok0: Link please? | 13:57 |
| mok0 | ScottK: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=gamgi | 13:57 |
| ScottK | Looking | 13:58 |
| elkbuntu | right. is there any known bug where booting into a red flashing screen will cause your grub to turn into pastebin.ca/1172892 ? | 13:58 |
| elkbuntu | yes, it is the right pastebin | 13:59 |
| ScottK | mok0: I still thing it needs a man page. I think every executable in /usr/bin is supposed to have one. | 13:59 |
| mok0 | ScottK: But the user should not know about this | 13:59 |
| ScottK | mok0: What does Debian Policy say? | 14:00 |
| mok0 | ScottK: the user will execute the program "gamgi" | 14:00 |
| ScottK | Right. Once you read policy, the answer will be a short man page that says don't excute this. | 14:00 |
| ScottK | I could be wrong. | 14:00 |
| mok0 | ScottK: It says that when a program needs environmental variables, a wrapper script should set them up | 14:00 |
| mok0 | ScottK: So, for the convenience of the user, the wrapper script is called "gamgi" and the binary is called "gamgi.real" | 14:01 |
| ScottK | Right, what about the Policy about man pages? | 14:02 |
| mok0 | ScottK: let me check that | 14:02 |
| ScottK | Should be policy 12.1 | 14:03 |
| persia | mok0: Note that you can probably get away with a single manpage for both, with a symlink. | 14:04 |
| mok0 | I don't see anything concerning wrapper scritps | 14:04 |
| mok0 | The environment thing is in 9.9 | 14:05 |
| mok0 | persia: allright, but I think it's silly | 14:05 |
| persia | mok0: Well, some user might get clever :) | 14:05 |
| mok0 | persia: heh. Well I see that there are no man pages for "uncompress.real" or "ldconfig.real" | 14:07 |
| persia | mok0: Sure: not every package is policy compliant. | 14:07 |
| mok0 | persia: You are right | 14:08 |
| mok0 | ... and there _is_ a manpage for uncompress.real, so that settles it | 14:08 |
| mok0 | persia: otoh, using a link to the manpage is not good, because people should not run the ".real" program, so the manpage should say that | 14:16 |
| persia | mok0: No reason the manpage for gamgi can't mention the existence of gamgi.real, and that one should use /usr/bin/gamgi | 14:17 |
| persia | alternately, shove it in /usr/lib/gamgi/gamgi.real | 14:17 |
| mok0 | persia: yes... does that change the requirement for a manpage? | 14:17 |
| persia | It does: policy requires a manpage for everything in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/games | 14:18 |
| mok0 | persia, I don't see that. I only see "Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual page included in the same package" | 14:19 |
| persia | Hmm.. I guess it depends on one's interpretation of policy. I always felt that everything in the path, and everything not in the path that users were expected to execute should have a manpage. I may be mistaken. | 14:20 |
| mok0 | What do you think, ScottK? | 14:20 |
| mok0 | persia: I agree that putting the exe file in /usr/lib/... is better | 14:21 |
| persia | I don't think it's better, it's just an option. | 14:22 |
| ScottK | mok0: I believe that what persia is giving you is the traditional interpretation. This policy requirement is mechanized in Lintian, so for a real anwer, I'd suggest consulting the Lintian source. | 14:22 |
| mok0 | ScottK: good idea | 14:22 |
| mok0 | persia: It is better, because it will prevent users from running the binary without environmental variables set up (unless they are clever) | 14:23 |
| persia | mok0: I guess that makes some sense. | 14:24 |
| mok0 | ScottK, persia, thanks for the input! I will go ahead and fix the package | 14:25 |
| emgent | nxvl: o/ | 15:09 |
| nxvl | emgent: hi! | 15:09 |
| mok0 | Hmm, just created a new sbuilder, but it is missing apt??? | 15:17 |

| emgent | argh another issue on drupal.. | 15:18 |
| mok0 | emgent: what's up with drupal? | 15:22 |
| emgent | more security issue | 15:24 |
| mok0 | uhuh | 15:24 |
| emgent | committed intrepid now, i'm working to test backport fix for hardy. | 15:24 |
| mok0 | emgent, what version of drupal is this? | 15:29 |
| emgent | 5.X and 6.X | 15:29 |
| mok0 | emgent: ah, finally, version 6! :-) | 15:29 |
| emgent | 6.X it`snt in intrepid yet | 15:29 |
| mok0 | emgent: will be I hope | 15:30 |
| emgent | i'm waiting for bump it in Ubuntu | 15:30 |
| Hobbsee | emgent: thanks for the warning. upgraded drupal, and actually subscribed to the rss feed now! | 15:30 |
| emgent | mok0: dont know.. i will see first to 28 August | 15:31 |
| emgent | Hobbsee: hehe np, the real problem is that all LoCo Team use it, but not with ubuntu repo.. | 15:31 |
| emgent | manual installation.. :-| | 15:31 |
| Hobbsee | mine's manual too | 15:31 |
| Hobbsee | it took about 2 minutes. | 15:31 |
| emgent | and not all LoCo upgrade it.. | 15:32 |
| emgent | (of apply the fix) | 15:32 |
| Hobbsee | true | 15:32 |
| emgent | and box dont run mod_security for try to exclude this attack | 15:32 |
| mok0 | Ydrk, getting a compile error in intrepid (but not earlier): 'struct hostent' has no member named 'h_addr' | 15:33 |
| mok0 | Ydrk, it's now wrapped in ifdefs | 15:34 |
| emgent | i think that we should write a census for CMS used by loco.. and try to send auto-notice when vuln is out. | 15:35 |
| emgent | (with attached fix) | 15:35 |
| emgent | anyway i will talk about it in the next security team meeting | 15:37 |
| nxvl | with wich command is that i saw that packages depend on $package? | 15:44 |
| mok0 | apt-rdepends | 15:49 |
| persia | I tend to use apt-cache rdepends, as apt-rdepends is a little funny (or at least I can't get it to use --follow right) | 15:52 |
| nxvl | persia: yeah, i'm using rdepends, i have just tried the 2 of them and apt-cache is more what i was looking for | 15:54 |
| nxvl | thank you! | 15:54 |
| * nxvl HUGS mok0 and persia | 15:54 | |
| mok0 | persia: did you file a bug report? :-D | 15:55 |
| emgent | heya persia :) | 15:55 |
| persia | mok0: Not yet: I've yet to determine it's not me (I keep getting distracted by something else when using apt-rdepends) | 16:00 |
| persia | That said, the manpage says it doesn't quite emulate apt-cache, so except where one needs recursion, I think apt-cache is a better tool. | 16:01 |

| cherva | should I register a blueprint for Intrepid on launchpad if I'm not going to assign myself to it ? if they find it as a stupid idea they will remove it right ? | 17:31 |
| persia | cherva: There's no good way to remove blueprints, and blueprints for intrepid were discussed in May, so the timing is a little awkward. | 17:34 |
| persia | The next round of blueprinting will be for intrepid+1, for discussion in December at UDS. | 17:34 |
| cherva | persia: so it is too late to proppose to make nautilus edit id3 tags of mp3 via properties->sound tab ? | 17:35 |
| persia | cherva: There's only two weeks until FeatureFreeze, and nautius tends to follow upstream very closely. You'd do best to either work to get that into GNOME or put it on brainstorm. | 17:36 |
| cherva | persia: it is on brainstorm | 17:37 |
| persia | cherva: OK. From brainstorm, the next step is to organise the implementation, and get some PoC stuff together. Often a wiki page is used for this, and written in Specification format. Has that been done? | 17:39 |
| cherva | persia: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3888/ there is no wiki, strage this idea is from 8 Mar '08 where can I see the discussed blueprints for the ibex? | 17:42 |
| persia | cherva: I don't know that they are organised in their entirety anywhere. Most of the teams have individual listings of blueprints interesting to them. | 17:43 |
| cherva | persia: I guess I'll wait for the interpid+1 discussion :) | 17:43 |
| superm1 | persia, do you have a good methodology for how you are tracking down the extras that get added in in the studio stuff? _MMA_ showed me some 300 megs that got added | 17:44 |
| persia | superm1: Not really. I've been fiddling with `apt-rdepends --show=Depends,Recommends`. I've yet to figure out how --follow works. Also: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2008-August/000822.html | 17:46 |
| persia | cherva: That or get inolved in implementing it yourself: generally those specs that are almost there are more likely to get included than those that are more a description of something someone else should do. | 17:46 |
| superm1 | persia, ah okay fairly similar to how i started to look at some of the mythbuntu stuff that is depending on too much. | 17:47 |
| superm1 | our live cd image is some 200 megs bigger (That includes compression.....) | 17:48 |
| superm1 | and from what i've seen so far, we dont want any of it | 17:48 |
| cherva | persia: I don't think my code will be good for implementing it ANYWHERE :) | 17:48 |
| persia | Well, there's some stuff we want: I just added libpam-ck-connector to -desktop today. On the other hand, we were pulling all of KDE, which is a bit odd for a GNOME-based desktop. | 17:49 |
| persia | cherva: Proof-of-concept. Then present that to known nautilus hackers, and watch it change into real, useful, code. | 17:49 |
| cherva | persia: I don't know gtk :) just a little qt4 I'll just leave it for now | 17:51 |
| persia | cherva: OK. If you really want it, maybe you can find someone else who both knows GTK and also wants it? | 17:51 |
| cherva | no I just wanted to ask what will happen if i register a blueprint and I know now thanks :) | 17:52 |
| goshawk | h | 17:53 |
| goshawk | hi | 17:53 |
| goshawk | if someone have free time please see :http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=dsss | 17:53 |
| persia | goshawk: What is dsss? | 17:57 |
| goshawk | persia: it's like python eggs | 17:58 |
| goshawk | but for D programming language | 17:58 |
| goshawk | dsss net install application | 17:58 |
| goshawk | downloads compiles and installs the application | 17:58 |
| persia | Ah. Considering how much time we spend patching that out of python apps, I'm unsure how much we want it for other programming languages | 17:59 |
| goshawk | you're right | 17:59 |
| goshawk | but sometimes it could be good | 17:59 |
| goshawk | expecially for not packaged application | 17:59 |
| goshawk | and, now, in the D world | 17:59 |
| persia | Well, I don't think it's good for not-packaged applications, as they ought be packaged. It might make things more convenient for D developers though. | 18:00 |
| goshawk | they are a lot (that are not packaged i mean) | 18:00 |
| persia | (but not much more convenient for D developers who wanted to have their applications in Ubuntu) | 18:00 |
| goshawk | persia: it's also the "make" equivalent for D applications | 18:00 |
| persia | Oughtn't they be packaged then, if they are useful? | 18:00 |
| persia | Oh. If it's "make" equivalent, than we do need it. | 18:01 |
| persia | I don't suppose you've packaged it in a way that tries to pull libraries from the repositories, rather than the net, have you? | 18:01 |
| goshawk | persia: it's mainly a make equivalent | 18:01 |
| goshawk | the "net" module get sources from net and compile it | 18:01 |
| goshawk | for example | 18:01 |
| goshawk | dsss build | 18:01 |
| goshawk | in a D source tree | 18:01 |
| goshawk | compiles and generate executables | 18:02 |
| goshawk | persia: it's a coded from scratch application | 18:02 |
| goshawk | it uses just C libs | 18:02 |
| goshawk | and D ones | 18:02 |
| goshawk | (using gdc the gnu d compiler that is in the ubuntu repo) | 18:02 |
| goshawk | it does not use the net to build | 18:03 |
| goshawk | itself | 18:03 |
| goshawk | all the libraries are in the repo | 18:03 |
| persia | Right. I'm just considering the future popularity of this for D developers, and think that if you haven't, you might want to see if you can stub out the net module to pull libraries from the repositories, pehaps if a certain siwtch is provided. That then makes it easy to package D code that build-depends on dsss | 18:04 |
| goshawk | you can't use the net module while using dsss like "make" | 18:05 |
| goshawk | except you do dirty things in makefiles | 18:05 |
| persia | goshawk: OK. Now I'm confused. | 18:05 |
| goshawk | persia: i'll explain better | 18:05 |
| goshawk | D applications have a makefile called dsss.conf | 18:05 |
| goshawk | it's readed by dsss | 18:06 |
| goshawk | to build sources | 18:06 |
| goshawk | dsss has a net module too | 18:06 |
| goshawk | to get and compile sources | 18:06 |
| goshawk | but the net module is not accessible by dsss.conf | 18:06 |
| goshawk | it has no sense for a dsss.conf to get | 18:07 |
| goshawk | the net module | 18:07 |
| goshawk | since | 18:07 |
| goshawk | the net module just get sources from the net | 18:07 |
| goshawk | and open them | 18:07 |
| goshawk | then it goes in the source dir and do "dsss build" | 18:07 |
| goshawk | and dsss install | 18:07 |
| goshawk | is it now more easy to understand? | 18:08 |
| persia | OK. So there's no easy way for a developer to configure dsss to pull build-dependencies from the net as part of a call to dsss build ? | 18:09 |
| goshawk | no, dsss does not solve dependencies, it's like make | 18:10 |
| goshawk | dsss net module is able to | 18:10 |
| goshawk | but you can't call it from dsss.conf | 18:11 |
| persia | OK, so `dsss build` can't pull from the net? | 18:11 |
| goshawk | yep right | 18:11 |
| goshawk | dsss build just builds | 18:11 |
| goshawk | according to specifications in dsss.conf | 18:11 |
| persia | OK. Added to my list of packages to review. | 18:12 |
| goshawk | :) thanks | 18:12 |
| sebner | persia: after uqm of course :P | 18:16 |
| persia | sebner: Indeed. It's a FIFO queue. | 18:17 |
| goshawk | D: | 18:17 |
| goshawk | :D | 18:17 |
| sebner | persia: nice to hear =) | 18:17 |
| devfil | Someone can take a look at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=ircp-tray ? | 19:45 |
| emgent | evening | 20:11 |
| ethana2 | on ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4, the version of miro that ships is 1.2.3, current from miro apt is 1.2.6 | 20:41 |
| * ethana2 checks code freeze date | 20:41 | |
| ethana2 | ok, we haven't even hit feature freeze | 20:43 |
| ethana2 | http://www.getmiro.com/download/ | 20:43 |
| devfil | ethana2: can you open a bug (if it doesn't exists yet)? | 20:44 |
| ethana2 | launchpad? | 20:44 |
| devfil | ethana2: yes | 20:45 |
| nellery | ethana2, this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 20:46 |
| ethana2 | ok | 20:46 |
| ethana2 | well i report bugs all the time | 20:46 |
| ethana2 | a few others this week-- but how do you file a 'package needs to be updated' bug? | 20:46 |
| nellery | Have a look at the many examples https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=upgrade | 20:48 |
| nellery | ethana2, make sure you add the tag 'upgrade' | 20:48 |
| ethana2 | got it | 20:48 |
| ethana2 | ok, how to i add tags? | 20:51 |
| ethana2 | is that after submitting? | 20:51 |
| ethana2 | ok yes | 20:54 |
| ethana2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/miro/+bug/258401 | 20:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 258401 in miro "old version of miro in intrepid repositories" [Undecided,New] | 20:55 |
| ethana2 | oh hey, while i'm here, i'd like to see this maybe get resolved in a timely manner | 21:08 |
| ethana2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258058 | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 258058 in libprinterconf "Brother DCP 7020 uses wrong drivers" [Undecided,New] | 21:08 |
| cody-somerville | ... | 21:08 |
| ethana2 | particularly because not only is this bug extremely annoying to me, but the solution should be somewhat simple | 21:08 |
| cody-somerville | ethana2, I look forward to receiving your patch then | 21:09 |
| ethana2 | i don't know if i have the ability to help fix this bug myself | 21:09 |
| ethana2 | ok, how do i do this? | 21:09 |
| cody-somerville | Well, you fix it | 21:09 |
| cody-somerville | then you compare the the old and the fixed version | 21:09 |
| ethana2 | right, i have the .deb files for all the right drivers | 21:09 |
| ethana2 | is there a driver index file somewhere i can insert this stuff in? | 21:10 |
| ethana2 | anyone familiar with the printing subsystem want to help me out? | 21:10 |
| ethana2 | i'm expecting the fix to involve maybe a few lines of text, but i don't know where the file is that the text needs to be added to | 21:11 |
| ethana2 | ok here, how do i found the launchpad maintainer of a given project? | 21:12 |
| cody-somerville | Well, you could determine what binary is launched when you plug in your printer | 21:12 |
| ethana2 | once i know that i can just ask him | 21:12 |
| cody-somerville | Then determine which package that belongs to | 21:12 |
| ethana2 | i've got that already | 21:12 |
| ethana2 | i think | 21:12 |
| ethana2 | alright, i should be absolutely sure i guess | 21:12 |
| cody-somerville | "apt-get source <package name>" to get the source code | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | how do i see what's being launched as i plug stuff in? | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | ah yeah, when i apt-get source, does it just dump it wherever i'm at like svn, or does it put it in some source directory? | 21:13 |
| cody-somerville | It will download three files to you current working directory | 21:14 |
| cody-somerville | and extract the source into a sub directory | 21:14 |
| ethana2 | ah, ok | 21:14 |
| ethana2 | ok, got it, now to figure out where it stores the printer/driver index | 21:16 |
| * ethana2 is asking on ##cups | 21:20 | |
| ethana2 | Ok, this is confusing--what I may do is get a livecd of the latest suse and fedora and add those to the bug report on launchpad if they're affected | 21:33 |
| ethana2 | well, thanks for the help-- time to see how the intrepid radeon driver performs in tremulous | 21:37 |
