f4hyHi all, What is the correct course of action to request for a newer version of a package for ibex, or better yet how would I package it myself and get it included?02:19
slangasekf4hy: we're in FeatureFreeze for intrepid, so all new packages need to go through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess02:21
f4hyslangasek, hmm, well thats too bad. BOINC is at an unstable pre-release version in 8.10, was hoping to fix that02:22
slangasekuhm, why doesn't the version number look like an unstable pre-release?02:23
slangasek6.2.12-102:23
f4hyslangasek,  would have to talk to the boinc guys about that, because 6.2.12 is not a full release for it.02:24
f4hyslangasek, even when your run it, under "about" for the manager it says everywhere "pre-release"02:24
f4hyalso, messages get sent from the server asking to upgrade from the unstable version02:25
f4hy"This is a development version of BOINC and may not function properly" is displayed under messages when first run.02:25
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
f4hySo, to me that sounds like a bad thing, and do you think it would be reason enough for a freeze exception on it? or is the freeze a pretty hard limit02:26
slangasekthe guidelines for freeze exceptions are explained on the wiki page; the final decision on the risk/reward of any particular freeze exception here would be made by the motu-release team02:27
f4hy6.2.15 is the next stable release, and i think 6.3.0 is out. But i think it should at least get to the next stable02:27
f4hyslangasek, alright thanks. I guess I will look into it. I think 6.2.15 is upstream in the debian repos so hopfully that will help02:28
slangasekactually, Debian has 6.2.14 in unstable and 6.2.18 in experimental02:29
slangasekI wouldn't dare to guess which of those are unstable pre-releases or not02:29
f4hyslangasek, *sigh* that is unfortunate.02:30

pittiso how is this meant to work?11:17

ograpitti, is the code jckey uses to determine if restricted HW is there big ? i wonder if we could use that same code in the lrm initscript/initramfs scripts ... lrm eats at least about 5secs of your boottime for initializing even if teher is no HW that it needs11:45
pittiogra: what is "restricted hardware"?11:47
ograwell, HW that needs restricted drivers i meant indeed :)11:47
ograi would like to see lrm off by default until uts actively used11:47
ogra*its11:47
pittiogra: hm, what does lrm do during that time, link the .ko for the various wifi drivers?11:47
ograit mounts the tmpfs etc11:48
pittiogra: it does not install/contain the video drivers any more11:48
ograand wastes your ram and your bootime11:48
pittiand the wifi drivers should by and large be handled like normal kmods11:48
ograimho it shoulndt bs sued/started at all until jockey has the chekmark set for the first time11:49
pittiogra: yes, indeed it should check whether it already built the .ko files and don't do all that magic then11:49
ogra*used11:49
ograright11:49
pittiogra: but jockey depends on the .ko files and the modules.aliases to be present and current11:49
ograhttp://mg.pov.lt/hardy-20080822-1.png ... that wastes 5 secs for lrm-manager and friends11:49
pittiso jockey can't know whether your wifi card needs a restricted driver, unless we have it available already11:49
pittiogra: well, that's not entirely true actually, since eventually we can use an online DB, but ATM we don't, we just use local modalises11:50
pittiogra: so one possibility would be that lrm shipd the modaliases pre-generated and then checks whether there is hardware which matches any of those, and then builds the .ko files11:50
pittiogra: that part of the code is reasonably isolated11:51
pittibut it still takes a second or two11:51
ograwell, i see S07linux-restricted-modules running there, firing off lrm-manager which then spawns ld_static11:51
ograimho S07linux-restricted-modules shouldnt happen at all i.e. only if enabled deliberately through an /etc/default file11:52
ograwhich can be seeded by jockey11:52
pittiogra: but we don't want all users to use jockey just to get their wifi card working, which would otherwise Just Work(tm) out of the box11:52
ograhmm11:53
ograi think i misunderstood jockey then ... i thought its for all restricted drivers, not only fglrx and nvidia11:53
ograbut indeed that wlan example makes sense11:53
pittiogra: you can indeed use it to disable those restricted drivers, yes11:54
ograyeah11:54
dokooha, a user submitting a bug report about a failed gmail login \o/11:56
Q-FUNK:D11:56
pittiogra: the problem is that jockey relies on modalias files (it needs to get the hardware -> driver mapping from somewhere, after all, and so far modalias files are the standard means to do it11:59
pittiogra: but as I said, I think the built .ko files should be cached and not rebuilt/rechecked on every boot12:00
ograok, i'll take a look at that in jaunty ...12:00
ogramy usecase is that i want to just install linux-generic in ubuntu-mobile for netbooks but 90% of them dont use restricted HW at all12:00
ograthough there might be someone with a USB nvidia card or somehing similar weird so i dont want to lose the functionallity in general12:01
pittiUSB gfx!12:01
pittidoes that actually exist? :-)12:01
ograyep12:01
pittiogra: wifi driver might be an issue12:01
ograi doub you find nvidia though12:02
pittiogra: NB that we don't install *any* nvidia bits by default in intrepid any more12:02
pittiwell, except their modalias lists12:02
ograyeah, it wasnt a really serious example :)12:02
ograbut in any case lrm is quite a serious waste of ram and bootime12:02
ograso it should work more fine grained12:03

ograasac, i saw the bug and i see complaints on the ltsp ML12:09

ograone thing is that the session killig doesnt properly work if users just shut down the cliet HW12:10
asacogra: ok. so its a confirmed bug? i hoped its an issue in how its setup12:10
ograso you might have FF processes hanging around and keeping the lock12:10
ograanother issue might be that these admins dont regard that you cant use 30 times the same user12:11
ograand anoter might be that /home gets mounted dynamically on login from an nfs share12:11
ograit really needs more research12:12
ograone simple fact is that gnome-session doesnt seem to clean up properly on exit12:12
pittiogra: I think the main problem is that the license doesn't allow us to ship the .ko files pre-linked; that would make it so much more efficient and avoid all this runtime linking stuff12:17
ograpitti, well, but it should be easy to add a check to the lrm initscript and make it just exit if lrm isnt required ... i'll look into that for the jackalope :)12:18
pittiogra: not as easy as you think IMHO12:18
pittiogra: but it should indeed be easy to make the boot check much more efficient (if the .ko files are already there, do nothing)12:19

liwpitti, python-fstab hasn't got an FFe, I am going to ask for an FFe for system-cleaner once mvo (or someone) uploads it, and system-cleaner needs python-fstab12:19

pittiogra: indeed12:20
pittiogra: and since Jaunty's goals include "boot-faster stripes", it's an adequate target :)12:20
ograyep, and falls into my duties for ubuntu-mobile as well12:21
ograthoug we might not define startup as boot ...12:21
persiaThat's best bit about jackaloupes being mythical: one can use allegory to redefine the user experience.12:22
liwpersia, er, a non-existent user experience does not sound good12:23
ograbut that might even make sense for ubuntu as a default (never shutdown after first boot of the system but hibernate and make that very fast)12:23
liwogra, is there a power use difference between hibernation and shutdown? I guess not12:24
ograhibernate writes the ram to your disk and shuts down12:24
pittiogra: I almost always hibernate, yes (except for kernel updates, or from some time to time when there's a new X or large GNOME changes)12:24
ograbut you can very likely make the resuming extremely fast12:24
pittiliw: no, it's completely off12:24
ograif you profile and adjust that a bit12:24
pittiand booting from hibernation is faster than a "cold boot" (for me, anyway)12:24
pittibut it still takes ages12:25
ograso boot time only affects you on first reboot after install and for HW changes12:25
pitti(compared to windows)12:25
wgrantSuspend serves me fine.12:26
ograpitti, i bet that depends... virgin windows is actually fast ... my GF boots way slower than ubuntu on her XP with 5 years of installed apps though12:26
ograwgrant, suspend needs power12:26
wgrantExcept it takes ages (15-20 seconds) to suspend, but just a couple of seconds to resume.12:26
liwI have no machines on which hibernation works reliably, but resuming from hibernation always seemed to take more frustratingly long than just booting12:27
ograbut from a user POV there is no real difference between hibernate and boot12:27
pittiogra: there is a lot, it keeps all your apss open12:27
pittiapps12:27
wgrantogra: True, but I can leave this laptop for a couple of days without it going flat.12:27
pittiwhereas gnome-session entirely forgot how to save/restore your session in intrepid, unfortunately12:27
liwogra, some tasks like cleaning up /tmp and periodic fsck needs to be handled in some useful way, if there are no semi-frequent boots12:27
pittiwgrant: I don't use suspend at home, because I take out the battery at home12:28
liwof course, those tasks should be handled in some useful way separate from booting anyway12:28
pittiand I don't want to waste power over night by leaving the plug and thus the AC adapter on12:28
persialiw: Depends.  Having a non-existent user-experience of booting might just be fixing /tmp and fsck differently.  What else is routine and need not be exposed to users?12:28

asacif i do cat /proc/locks i get numbers like: 08:06:4767745 ... those include major/minor device ids12:48
asacany idea how i can see what major/minor device a nfs mounted partition has12:49
Hobbseeevand: how much has the installer changed since alpha 5?  I installed off it today, and noticed some bugs in it.12:50
ograasac, ?? nfs is a filesystem12:51
ograthere is no devices12:51
ogra*device12:51
ograso no major minor device number12:51
asacogra: how would nfs locks show up in /proc/locks12:52
asacogra: ok. but is there something similar to a minor number?12:52
ograno idea12:52
ografor either of the questions12:52
asactoo bad.12:52
mvo_asac: the nfs root mini howto says "mknod /dev/nfsroot b 0 255"12:52
asac;)12:52
asacmvo_: ah12:53
* asac looks at nfsroot12:53
asachmm ... doesnt exist here12:53
ograwell, thats for rootfs on nfs afaik12:53
pittimpt: I didn't find another matching stock icon; "stop" maybe (gray rectangle, as in music players)12:53
pittimpt: but then I'd rather make the icon consistent to what is shown on the "Turn on/off" button12:54
mvo_ogra: (I missed most context and thought I just add the snippet of information I have :)12:54
ogra:)12:54
mptpitti, actually I'd rather that button didn't have any icons at all :-)12:54
pittimpt: and that uses the 8-edge red sign wiht a white X12:54
mptpitti, because it competes for attention with the actual status icon12:54
pittimpt: if you say so12:55
ograasac, i case you look for firefox context, i think the /proc/locks stuff is kernel only12:55
ograbased on the flock system call12:56
asacogra: ffox uses fcntl and the locks show up as posix locks12:56
asacogra: the current issue i have is sqlite12:56
pittimpt: oh, another possibility: I could use the stock icons for "connected" and "not connected" (the plug)12:56
asacwhich appears to use flock and somehow breaks on nfs12:56
asacogra: well. i still want to verify that that lock without running pid is on that nfs partition12:57
asacbut i ma quite sure12:57
ograasac, http://www.time-travellers.org/shane/papers/NFS_considered_harmful.html12:57
ogralook for flock12:57
siretartasac: flock() does not lock files over NFS.  Use fcntl(2) instead12:57
siretartasac: see flock(2), section NOTES, first paragraph12:57
asacsiretart: exactly12:57
ograIn Unix, there are two flavours of file locking, flock() from BSD and lockf() from System V. It varies from system to system which of these mechanisms work with NFS.12:57
asacsiretart: i know about that12:57
mvo_asac: flock does not work on nfs (see flock(2))12:57
asacsiretart: however since 2.6.12 client its supposed to be supported12:58
mptpitti, is the "stop" icon the one Empathy uses for "Offline"?12:59
ograasac, lockd is usually responsible for locking on nfs btw12:59
ogramight be that we dont enable it by default12:59
ograsince ltsp switched from nfs to nbd i'm not up to date anymore :/12:59
asacogra: so. disregarding that sqlite should probably use fnctl, http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ says that flock is supported since 2.6.12 clients ... where can i see the client version?13:00
siretartlocking is btw the only reason why linux needs portmapper as nfs client...13:00
ograogra@osiris:~$ apt-cache show nfs-common|grep Version13:00
ograVersion: 1:1.1.2-4ubuntu113:00
amitkcjwatson: FYI: LPIA kernel is ready to be uploaded. This is an ABI bump.13:00
asacogra: is that really the client version?13:01
cjwatsonamitk: thanks13:01
ograasac, thats cntaining nfs-client13:01
asacogra: i looked at it and assumed that its too low given that nfs refers to 2.6.1213:01
cjwatsonamitk: 2.6.27-3, I take it?13:01
amitkcjwatson: yes. persia will upload it soon.13:02
pittimpt: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/STOCK_STOP.png and http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/STOCK_DISCONNECT.png13:03
pittimpt: DISCONNECT's counterpart (CONNECT) is a plug which is plugged in, STOP's counterpart would be "PLAY" (gray triangle, as in totem/rhythmbox)13:03
mptpitti, eek, stop definitely13:03
cjwatsonamitk: cool, thanks13:03
mptI mean, STOCK_STOP definitely13:04
pittimpt: and for enabled ones, STOCK_PLAY (more consistent counterpart) or STOCK_OK (the green check mark, better contrast)13:05
pittimpt: i. e. the one on http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/jockey-new.png on the button13:05
mptpitti, neither, whatever Empathy uses for "Available"13:06
pittiis there a screenshot anywhere? otherwise I'll install it13:07
mptor, if it exists, the green opposite of the red ones in that screenshot13:07
pittiah13:07
pittiit doesn't exist as a stock icon13:07
pittibut I can grab it from somewhere, of course13:07
mptok13:07
zulcjwatson: can we get the tomcat-server added to tasksel please?13:09
pittimpt: heh, tango has nice icons for sun and moon as well :-P13:09
ograasac, i think that refers o the kernel module side13:09
ogra(sorry in a call)13:10
asacogra: no problem.13:10
asacogra: ill ask the reporter to go the hardway (e.g. find / -inum inode_no)13:10
pittimpt: ok, using empathy-available.svg then (copying)13:14
mptpitti, where did you get the bulbous red one from?13:16
pittimpt: that's one of GTK's stock icons (STOCK_STOP)13:16
Riddellhow do I report a bug in a translation?13:16
pittiRiddell: against language-pack-LL13:17
pittiand subscribe ubuntu-l10n-LL13:17
mptpitti, so is there a GO opposite?13:17
pittimpt: erm, sorry, stock icon for "No"13:18
pittimpt: and the opposite, yes, is the green check mark13:18
mptoh, bother13:18
mptok13:18
tseliotRiddell: I have solved the problem with the label in jockey-kde13:18
pittiATM jockey uses NO/YES13:18
pittimpt: so now I could change it to STOP (the grey square) and the green round "available" one13:19
Riddelltseliot: ooh, how13:19
Riddell?13:19
Riddellpitti: thanks13:19
tseliotRiddell: somehow an additional vertical layout ended up in the ui and prevented the ui from resizing properly13:19
pittimpt: you don't like the green check mark for enabled drivers? it's a stock one, so jockey wouldn't need to ship it13:19
Riddelltseliot: ah, how annoyingly fiddly13:20
tseliotRiddell: yes, I was looking anywhere but in the right place...13:21
pittimpt: oh, I just saw that the official GTK upstream GTK_STOCK_YES is indeed a green round circle, apparenlty that has been replaced with a checkmark in our ubuntu theme13:21
mptpitti, what I think would make most sense is a small, round, light grey bulb that becomes a small, round, glowing gren bulb when it's activated.13:21
mptgreen, rather13:22
mptI don't think it makes sense to use a checkmark, because it's too similar to a checkbox and because it understates the effect of the change.13:23

mpt_MMA_, no, see the previous 59 minutes discussion13:43
mpt(Also, it's an awkward choice of words to imply that "confirms to FreeDesktop" requires using no custom icons. The standard icon names never have covered, and never will cover, all the icons every app ever needs.)13:45

Hobbseeevand: I also had X blow up twice during the install, so had to install a second time, but I doubt that's due to you.14:13
Hobbseeevand: FWIW, i also found it non-obvious how to leave a partition the current size - it seems the field is there to only change it - i was afraid it would randomly resize my partitions if i did, or did not, change the values in that field - it's all just a bit unclear - particularly when it says sizes like '0' to start with14:14
evandI sure hope it isn't :)14:14
Hobbseefortunately, my14:14
Hobbseefortunately, my 'doze still works.  I was half expecting it not to, after dying the first time while partitioning.14:14
evandLeaving it untouched *should* leave it as is, but a bug like this throws everything out the window.14:16
Hobbseeevand: yeah....i think it probably would have, it was just the GUI that was unclear.14:16
Hobbseeevand: oh, and the timezone setter map thing is a nightmare - maybe it was because the window wasn't properly done, or something.  I'm not sure, but I found it very hard to actually select my location on it.  I thought there was a ffe bug to fix that, a while ago.14:17

slangasekmpt: because drivers are not something that one turns on15:45
mptslangasek, that's begging the question a little, isn't it? :-) You do *something* to them to make Ubuntu think about using them when it wouldn't have before.15:46
pittiargh, again15:47
mpt"Activate" might be better, though I'm a little concerned that it's too close to "Use", when it doesn't necessarily mean that Ubuntu will end up using the driver at all.15:47
mptThen again, maybe "Turn On" has the same problem.15:47
pittibryce, tjaalton: since today, my computer hard-locks at some point of idling, I strongly assume it happens when X tries to switch off the monitor for screensaver15:47

persiaHow about "Enable"/"Disable" ?15:48
Koonslangasek: about likewise-open, dendrobates told me you were working on a more-compatible PAM fix -- do you still want me to file a FFe for the 4.1.2982 update proposed on bug #262264 or would that be orthogonal to your efforts ?15:48

persiaBut there aren't any other good words that are both accurate and short :(15:49
mptpersia, "disable" is ok, but "enable" tends to be unhelpfully vague.15:49
slangasekI think 'Activate' is closer15:49
mptok, fair enough15:49
mpt"Activate" it shall be15:49

slangasekKoon: ah, hold off on filing an FFe for the moment, please15:50
slangasekpersia: how is that different than enabling it and having it not be loaded or used?15:50
mptpersia, then the status text will say "This driver is activated but not being used."15:50

slangasekmathiaz: the solution that was being discussed the other day was to adjust smartpm (as depended on by landscape-client) so that it's only available under /usr/share/landscape/, and proceeding with an MIR, I thought15:58
slangasekmathiaz: or is the smartpm dep itself an issue for CD size?15:58
mathiazslangasek: the pkg split for smartpm has already happened15:59
mathiazslangasek: this is another pkg split for the landscape-client.15:59
cjwatsonslangasek: this is arising from landscape-client having had a stub in desktop for a long time15:59
pittislangasek, mathiaz: and to keep the landscape-client stub on new desktop installs and upgrades, and only ship the sysinfo part on servers (AFAIUI)15:59

hungerIs it possible to turn of stack smashing protection when building a deb for intrepid?17:31
radixcjwatson: ok, so smartpm-core installs a symlink /usr/bin/smart -> /usr/share/smart/smart; python-smartpm installs /usr/share/smart/smart17:31
radixcjwatson: smartpm-core invokes 'smart' in its own postinst17:31
cjwatsonhunger: -fno-stack-protector17:31
cjwatsonradix: that only requires Depends17:31
dendrobatespitti: those are completely reasonable and helpful comments on update-motd.17:31

radixcjwatson: the smartpm-core -> python-smartpm is unrelated to the landscape-core -> gobject17:40
radixpre-depends17:40
radixhowever, mathiaz and I are in the same office and may have created a shared misunderstanding of ideal solutions to these kinds of problems :)17:40
cjwatsonthe reason why Pre-Depends is generally undesirable is that it forces dpkg not to be able to use the usual approach of "unpack everything, configure everything"17:40
cjwatsonbut instead partitions the package set being upgraded into multiple unpack/configure chunks17:41
cjwatsonsometimes it is necessary, but should be kept to a minimum and other approaches found where possible17:41
cjwatsonloops involving Pre-Depends are much harder to solve, and sometimes impossible17:41
niemeyercjwatson: I'm investigating the issue here with radix and andreas17:42
cjwatsonPre-Depends/Pre-Depends loops are irresolvable, and Pre-Depends/Conflicts is a pain17:42
cjwatsonniemeyer: right, I'm just giving advice on the packaging metadata17:42
niemeyercjwatson: What should be the correct order if there are two packages depending on each other?17:42
cjwatsonniemeyer: undefined17:42
niemeyercjwatson: Not saying this is the case, just trying to figure it out17:43
cjwatsonniemeyer: in practice dpkg configures the ones without postinsts first, if any17:43
cjwatsonpackages do sometimes do that, and it's OK as long as it doesn't matter at maintainer-script time17:43
niemeyercjwatson: Ok, so the Depends unpack ordering is advisory only?17:43
cjwatsonerr, you misunderstand17:43
cjwatsonDepends enforces configure ordering17:43
niemeyercjwatson: So what's the ordering when there's a loop?17:43
cjwatsonyou don't care about unpack unless you have preinsts17:44
cjwatsonlike I say: undefined (unless one package is missing a postinst)17:44
niemeyercjwatson: Ok, I guess I see17:44
slangasekcjwatson: Depend doesn't guarantee unpack ordering, no...17:44
cjwatsonand that's an implementation detail of dpkg rather than a policy definition17:44
cjwatsonA Depends: B guarantees B unpacked before A configured17:45
infinitycjwatson: It's totally defined! *cough*17:45
cjwatsoninfinity: undefined by policy :)17:45
infinitycjwatson: Though I don't recall if it's alphabetical, or order passed to dpkg on the command line...17:45
infinity(often the same thing, when debootstrap is involved)17:45
niemeyercjwatson: Cool, so I believe it's a bug in the ordering of Smart then17:46
cjwatsonniemeyer: I'm curious why you think you're relying on unpack ordering17:46
cjwatsonare you *sure* it's unpack ordering? python packages often do lots of work at the configure stage17:46
niemeyercjwatson: For Smart that ordering is advisory but breakable depending on other relations17:46
pittimvo: as for your current compiz 1:0.7.7+git20080807-0ubuntu7 upload, it already does start automatically again?17:46
cjwatsonniemeyer: can you give me an example?17:46
niemeyercjwatson: I'm not entirely sure yet, no.. I'll join radix and andreas on debugging now17:46
mathiazpersia: right - I'll ask lool or seb128 about it17:47
mvopitti: there is a gnome-control-center upload needed for this. I'm doing that now17:47
niemeyercjwatson: I can't yet, but will have a better idea (and perhaps a fix) later today17:47
slangasekunpack ordering should really never matter except in cases where you do have a preinst, AFAICS17:47
infinityEven then, it almost never matters, unless your preinst does some pretty vile stuff.17:48
slangaseks/pretty vile //17:48
cjwatsonin the absence of loops: A Depends: B guarantees A configured after B configured. A Pre-Depends: B guarantees A unpacked after B configured. A Conflicts: B guarantees B removed (not unpacked) when A unpacked. A Breaks: B guarantees B not configured when A unpacked.17:48
mvopitti: gnome-c-c uploaded, should be good now (compiz should start again)17:48
infinityslangasek: Well, most of my preinsts only depend on Essential.17:49
slangasekinfinity: debconf preinst ftw :)17:49
mvopitti: actually, the compiz change is probably enough to make it auto-start, but it can't be turned off anymore :) that is the g-c-c upload for17:49

niemeyercjwatson: I'll just check which constraint from your description above is missing, and then post the fix17:58
niemeyercjwatson: That's what I was trying to say, but you beat me to it17:58
cjwatsonheh17:59
pittitjaalton: screensaver hasn't blown up yet, so this looks good17:59
niemeyercjwatson: I've tried to follow the policy document entirely, but I probably misunderstood it17:59
tjaaltonpitti: good :)17:59
cjwatsonniemeyer: you may have misread "installed" as "unpacked"17:59
cjwatsonhmm, no18:00
pittitjaalton: bug commented18:00
cjwatsonanything in policy that uses the word "installed" requires careful reading, but it does actually often mean "unpacked"18:01
pittitseliot: I'll disconnect my laptop from the dock and reboot, to do the test Bryce asked me to do; back in 518:01
cjwatsonshould probably get that fixed ...18:01
ykphuahasac: are you around?18:09
niemeyercjwatson: I think we found the issue18:13
niemeyercjwatson: The new python-smartpm package has a Conflicts relation with the old smartpm-core package18:14
cjwatsonah, heh, that's a bug in the package18:14
cjwatsonI actually thought about mentioning that when I saw it in NEW18:14
cjwatsonsilly me for not doing so18:14
cjwatsonReplaces is quite sufficient18:14
niemeyercjwatson: Doesn't that mean that both might be installed at the same time?18:15
niemeyercjwatson: Should we use Breaks perhaps?18:15
cjwatsonReplaces is good enough.18:15
cjwatsonit's just a file move18:15
niemeyercjwatson: Ok, cool18:16
cjwatsonI think this is still a smart bug, mind18:16
niemeyercjwatson: Right, that's what I was going to ask18:16
niemeyercjwatson: What's the specification about this situation?18:16
cjwatsonlet me just construct a test case and see what apt+dpkg does: I suspect it's: unpack smartpm-core, unpack python-smartpm, configure python-smartpm, configure smartpm-core18:17
cjwatsonI think that's the correct resolution18:17
niemeyercjwatson: Due to the Conflicts relation, Smart has put the upgrade before the actual installation of the secondary package18:17
cjwatsonright, but in the process it broke Depends18:17
niemeyercjwatson: Could be.. it depends mostly on what's the expected outcome18:18
cjwatsonif it had been Pre-Depends, it ought to have refused entirely18:18
cjwatsonbut Depends/Conflicts should be resolvable while satisfying both constraints18:18
niemeyercjwatson: Like, is it ok to have the conflicting package present during unpack?18:18
cjwatsonno, but in my proposed resolution you don't18:18
niemeyercjwatson: I guess you do18:19
cjwatsonno. the new smartpm-core is unpacked first and that's the only thing being conflicted on.18:19
niemeyercjwatson: Or maybe I misunderstood it18:19
pittimvo: hm, compiz seems to have forgotten to not start if it is already running in another X? I just get a blank screen now in the guest session18:19
niemeyercjwatson: Ah, gotcha18:19
niemeyercjwatson: I'll review the ordering for this case then18:19
mvopitti: and no fallback to metactiy either?18:20
niemeyercjwatson: Thanks a lot for these details18:20
mvopitti: compiz works only on the first head that is a know issue18:21

niemeyerWe'll have lunch and fix it once we're back.18:21
mvopitti: but it should fallback to metactiy18:21
pittimvo: well, maybe it does fallback, but since it at first tries to start as compiz, I get the white screen and can't see anything18:21
mvopitti: can you give me the output of ~/.xsession-errors in the guest session?18:22
pittimvo: while it failed? sure, let me try18:22
pittimvo: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/xsession-errors18:25

mvopitti: thanks, I suspect its a x bug that it pretends to be able to have a second dri capable head. what is the output of glxinfo in the guest18:31
asacykphuah: more or less18:32
pittimvo: I guess that I can do that with metacity, too?18:34

mvopitti: hm, that looks like X pretends to be able to deal with that, I ask on #ubuntu-x18:38
pittimvo: shall I file a bug about this? with those two files attached?18:38
mvopitti: yes, I think that is a good idea, we can then reassign between x and compiz if needed, but for now I think its X :)18:40
* mvo wonders if it is just him or if the name "easystroke" sounds slightly odd18:41
cjwatsonit sounds like it would be best-placed in Soho18:42

* tjaalton hugs mvo18:49
pittimvo, tjaalton: so is it actually a bug in the driver, and mvo's change in compiz is just a workaround? or shall we assing above bug to compiz straight away?18:50
mvopitti: I would maintain its a driver bug, but it seems to be easy enough in compiz to work around it18:51
mvopitti: so a x and a compiz task is probably the right answer18:51
mvoI would still be interessted in the answer from X upstream if the glxinfo output shoudl be "DRI: no" or not18:52
pittimvo: right, agreed18:52
