lukehasnonameare there any mirrors for the alpha 5 x64 alternate ISO? cdimage is still giving me trouble00:26
cjwatsonlukehasnoname: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors is mostly releases.u.c mirrors, but I'm sure there are some in there with cdimage mirrors too00:30
lukehasnonamedamn, they must all be synced to the same server which does NOT have any alphas, apparently00:32
* TheMuso remembers his ISP mirroring alphas, but can't remember if they still do, and thinks that an Australian mirror may not be the closest geographically.00:34

TheMusoRAOF: If you thought your issue with attempting to switch a stream from hda to your USB speakers was bad, try mine. Pulseaudio completely dies when I either start pulseaudio with my USB sound card connected, or connect my USB sound card while pulseaudio is running.03:01
RAOFTheMuso: Ba baw!03:02
TheMusoRAOF: Damn right.03:02
RAOFI guess that answers the "will 0.9.12 be in Intrepid" question.03:05
TheMusoYay! Go assertions! This is a log I'll need to send upstream.03:13
TheMusoBut I think I need to try alsa 1.0.18rc3 first.03:13
RAOFI'd send you my alsa-source package, but the lappy don't have internets.  And it'll be trivial for you to build one yourself :)03:15
TheMusoRAOF: Yeah.03:20
TheMusogah! Alsa-project.org is down.03:21
RAOFI _could_ throw it up on my webspace; it's not too hard to hunt down internet for my lappy.03:22

TheMusoRAOF: BTW if you are using alsa-driver 1.0.18rc3, and attempt to change the volume of your hda device, you will get an oops.

TheMusoRAOF: patch to fix it that is.05:53
RAOFTheMuso: Hm..  Let me try that.06:01
RAOFIt doesn't seem to oops here?06:02
TheMusohrm06:02
TheMusoit may not be for all hda cards.06:02
TheMusobut it did for mine, which sent me hunting for the patch I remember seeing on the alsa dev list. :p06:02
RAOF:)06:04
RAOFYeah, I don't think mine does; I'm fairly sure I'm using 1.0.18rc3, and it doesn't oops for me.06:04
RAOFYay crazy hda!06:05
TheMusoTotally agree.06:05
TheMusoRAOF: Ah thats right, the oops only occurs when changing S/PDIF settings.06:10
RAOFHeh.  I'm not so much with the digital out.06:11
TheMusoRAOF: yeah well I was just playing with elements in the mixer when it happened for me. The patch fixes it for me though. and luckily this patch is only for 1.0.18rc3, as in it doesn't affect ubuntu as it stands./06:11

sorenlaptopnenolod: [citation needed]08:19
cody-somervillebryce, When you're around, could you give me a hand with an x.org issue in Intrepid? :]08:19
laptopnenolodsoren, priority: required packages are provided by the base system, and are not necessary08:20
sorenlaptopnenolod: [citation needed] :)08:20
laptopnenolodsoren, the debian policy manual08:20
* cody-somerville notes that laptopnenolod is incorrect.08:20
* soren sighs08:21
* laptopnenolod notes that he is correct, and maintains several critical debian packages (have you enjoyed lilo recently?)08:21
cody-somervillehttp://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s3.508:21
laptopnenolodcody-somerville, priority: required is effectively equivilant to essential: yes08:22
laptopnenolodinfact, i do not know of any packages in priority: required that are not essential: yes08:23
sorenlaptopnenolod: Look... I know that debian policy is the source for this source of information, so just referring to that is not very helpful.08:23
sorenlaptopnenolod: er...08:23
sorens/this source/this kind/08:23
sorenI'm looking for a specific reference to support your claim.08:23
laptopnenolod<cody-somerville> http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s3.508:24
sorenlaptopnenolod: ...which doesn't mention "priority: required" at all.08:24
laptopnenolodassuming that your packages are essential: yes (which they should be if they are in priority: required)08:24
sorenEr... No.08:24
laptopnenoloder, yes08:24
* soren rolls eyes08:25
cody-somervillelaptopnenolod, In which cases would priority be set to required and essential not be set to yes?08:25
sorenforget it.08:25
laptopnenolodPackage: bash08:25
laptopnenolodEssential: yes08:25
laptopnenolodPriority: required08:25
sorenlaptopnenolod: procps08:25
laptopnenolodcody-somerville, exactly! as i said, they are equivilant08:25
laptopnenolodsoren, that is odd.08:25
sorenNo.08:25
sorenIt's common.08:25
cody-somervillelaptopnenolod, It isn't a rhetorical question. I'm honestly interested since you seem to be knowledgeable about the essential field.08:26
laptopnenolodcody-somerville, apparently procps, and some others. enough to make them "common"08:26
laptopnenolodcody-somerville, but AFAIK debootstrap and cdebootstrap install all packages Essential: yes, and Priority: required .. so they are functionally equivilant.08:27
cody-somervilleI think the reason we don't depend on Essential is to prevent an unresolvable dependency loop.08:27
RAOFExcept you can probably remove a priority: required package without dpkg having a screaming hissy fit?08:27
laptopnenolodRAOF, yes.08:27
laptopnenolodso if for whatever reason, Essential: yes is not set, then you should depend on it.08:28
laptopnenolodbut if it's priority: required, then it is most likely also Essential: yes08:28
cody-somervilleWell, regardless, I think we've established a distinction.08:28
* StevenK can't think of a package this is Priority: required that isn't part of the essential set08:29
laptopnenolodscanning main, i only see less than 10 packages that are not Essential: yes, but Priority: required08:29
sorenThere are 67 packages that are required, but only 25 that are essential...08:29
sorenSo no, they're not "most likely also essential: yes".08:30
cody-somervilleRegardless, there is a distinction and so although laptopnenolod your answer pragmatically might be correct, it isn't technically correct - and I think soren was looking for the more technical answer.08:30
laptopnenolodi'm not scanning ubuntu. i should clarify that.08:30
sorencody-somerville: Quite so. Thank you.08:31
cody-somervilleBtw, is there a pdf version of the Debian Policy Manual anywhere?08:31
laptopnenolodnot that i know of08:31

cjwatsonlaptopnenolod: you're definitely incorrect, sorry. adduser and procps are the usual exceptions09:02
laptopnenolodi believe we settled this already.09:02
cjwatsonit wasn't clear, and I wanted to give soren a clear answer09:02
cjwatsonFWIW the main purpose of required these days is to be the first stage of debootstrap, i.e. stuff that's unpacked with ar and tar the first time round09:03
cjwatsonfor example I wanted there to be an answer from somebody else who maintains key Debian packages - I trust you use your password file ;-)09:04
laptopnenolodcjwatson, i mentioned [c]debootstrap already :P09:06
cjwatson(oh and of course libraries must never be Essential: yes even if they're required - Essential is *not* closed under dependency - but they're sort of an edge case since you typically versioned-dep on them)09:06
sorencjwatson: Thanks very much.09:06
laptopnenolodin other news, can you guys replace abrowser with iceweasel. thanks09:06
cjwatsonI think that would be very confusing since our firefox package is not based on Debian's iceweasel package09:06
cjwatsonit would imply some kind of commonality that simply isn't there09:07
laptopnenolodyes :P you should work with Debian wrt packaging and tell mozcorp to go away09:07
cjwatson(right now, at least)09:07
laptopnenolodi haven't even seen the EULA nagbox yet. my intrepid box is at home :(09:10
cjwatsonthe unfortunate part about telling mozcorp to go away is that history demonstrates that that means our upstream bugs will suddenly get a lot less attention :-/09:11
cjwatsonwhich is one reason it isn't a slam-dunk09:11
laptopnenolodi need to upgrade my laptop to either debian lenny proper or intrepid; right now it is running a derivitive which is more of a personal sandbox... but the concepts i am playing with are definitely a lenny+1 if not lenny+2 thing. decisions, decisions :P09:15

dalewI have the following command "apt-get -b source linux-image-2.6.27-3-generic" which fetches and build the kernel, the issue I'm having is that I need it to build a diffferent version of the source which is modified, any ideas on how to achieve this?09:50
cjwatsonapt-get source (no -b), cd directory-it-gives-you, hack hack hack, debuild -b09:50
dalewapt-get source linux-2.6.2609:52
StevenKIntrepid uses 2.6.2709:52
dalewresults in "E: Unable to find a source package for linux-2.6.26"09:52
cjwatsonthe source package is just 'linux'09:52
dalewI need to use the source I have.09:53
cjwatsonwhy not just build it in the usual upstream way, then?09:53
dalewbecause if I have to answer one question then I'm foo-bared.09:53
cjwatsonyou could copy in the debian directory from the current source, but configs will be out of sync and you will likely have to answer questions09:54
dalewI can't be prompted for any information, it has to build without any user interaction.09:54
cjwatsonI think we need to understand exactly what you're actually trying to achieve here09:54
dalewI want to build a modified source and creaet the .deb pacakges.09:54
cjwatsonbut apparently noninteractively; why?09:55
dalewbecause I want the build to work on all hardware and I don't have time to learn the ububtu way.09:55
cjwatsondalew: you could use make-kpkg from the package 'kernel-package', if you just need to build debs09:55
cjwatsonyou will still need to provide usable configs, though09:55
dalewwith the command used to build intrpid I was asked no questions, exactly how i need it to be.09:56
cjwatsondalew: do you only need to build one specific piece of modified source, or arbitrary modified source?09:56
dalewthe who thing.09:56
dalewwhole09:56
cjwatsonwhat does that mean?09:56
dalewbuild it all.09:56
cjwatsonI mean, do you want to be able to build anything from 2.6.ancient through to 2.6.future, or what?09:56
cjwatsonor do you only care about just one version?09:57
cjwatsonbecause you really do have to provide useful configs, which need a certain amount of human attention09:57
dalewI have a modified linux-2.6.26 source based on the rc509:57
cjwatsonit would be much easier if you only had to care about one version09:57
dalewreally,  the following command asked for nothing form me "apt-get -b source linux-image-2.6.27-3-generic"09:58
cjwatsonyes, you said.09:58
dalewthat fetched the source, I already have the source I want to use.09:58
cjwatsonthat doesn't mean we have magic integration to build arbitrary source.09:58
cjwatsondalew: how about you grab the source package from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.26-5.17 - that's the last 2.6.26 we released09:59
cjwatsondalew: unpack it with 'dpkg-source -x linux_2.6.26-5.17.dsc', and copy the debian directory into your modified source09:59
dalewbecause it will not contain my changes.09:59
cjwatsondalew: then debuild -b09:59
cjwatsondalew: because you're not listening to me!09:59
dalewah but I see what your getting at.10:00
cjwatsondalew: copy the *debian directory*. not the whole thing.10:00

cjwatson(you can actually do this with just the .diff.gz, which is less of a download, but the process is more involved because you then have to filter out changes to the kernel source itself)10:03

dalewwhich is the root source directory.10:16
cjwatsonyou're going to have to sync up debian/config/ with your source10:16
dalewhow do I do that?10:16
cjwatsonthe reason our source package builds noninteractively is that that's already been done by the maintainer10:17
cjwatsonyou could try 'debian/rules updateconfigs' to see if it can be done automatically. Make sure that you have a backup of the source though10:18
dalewwhen I run it it keeps deleting the debian directory.10:21
=== michiel_e is now known as Eghie
cjwatson*blink*10:22
cjwatsonI don't see anything that would do that and it's hard to believe. debian/ is important to source packages and our code doesn't typically run around deleting it ;-)10:23
dalewafter the update debuild -b ran debian/rules clean and it was gone.10:28
dalewstarted fresh extract, copy and updateconfig seems to be building now.10:29
cjwatsonthere's no way that 'debian/rules clean' should remove debian/10:29

TheInfinityhello ... i read about the plan integrating vmware-player into hardy partner sources ... does anybody know something about the plan when this will be done?11:34
dalewcjwatson, you seem very knowledgeable about ubuntu and the builds, is it possible to have a binary with multiple arches, say i386 and ppc that would work in their associated environments?11:42
cjwatsondalew: we don't have any real "fat binary" support that I know of, no11:43
dalewshame, it would be nice to have a single installation that works on PPC or Intel based machines.11:44
dalewoh oh, cleaned up everything, thought I'd make a fresh build in a build location and it generated the header and doc packages but then failed, use the same commands verbatim.11:46
NCommandercjwatson: I thought ELF supported fat binaries11:50
NCommanderdalew: it would be in theory possible to create a universe installation disc for PowerPC and i386/amd64 since OpenFirmware doesn't use El Torro booting11:51
cjwatsonNCommander: in theory I think so, but there's no distro-level support for it11:52
cjwatsonyou would almost certainly run into issues with per-architecture files that aren't ELF objects11:52
broonieIIRC one of the Debian multi-arch install images is i386/amd64/powerpc (but that's essentially just 3 netinst images glued together I believe).11:53
NCommandercjwatson: multilib would help resolve that if Debian ever got around to supporting it11:53
cjwatsonNCommander: I think that's very optimistic, even given the basic ground level of optimism involved in assuming that multiarch will happen any time soon11:53
NCommandercjwatson: Solaris has multiarch (or something similar), so its at least possible11:54
cjwatsonDebian's multiarch proposals is not intended to resolve any more than providing multiple trees of libraries; it doesn't even contemplate addressing multiple-architecture binaries11:54
NCommanderOf course, that multiarch has made it rather difficult to make a nexenta solaris-amd64 port11:54
cjwatsons/ is / are /11:54
cjwatsonand it doesn't even start to address things like providing the completely different sets of hardware support that would be required for i386+powerpc11:55
* NCommander nods11:56
cjwatsonbroonie: right, that just exploits CD layout tricks to make them all boot and then has a giant composite apt archive11:56
NCommanderI was just saying that multiarch would be a step in the right direction11:56
NCommandercjwatson: how much do you know about the acceptance of new ports, I wanted to ask about the possibility of an offical (community supported) Solaris Ubuntu Server port11:56
cjwatsonwe haven't done it often enough for there to be a real process11:56
cjwatsonby default, it would be a decision for the technical board11:56
NCommandercjwatson: I guess the next question is how is the easiest way I can ask (the port already semi-exists in the form of nexenta, although it needs some clean up before it would meet Ubuntu standards w.r.t to source cleaniness)11:57
cjwatsonthe main problem with new ports is that there *has* to be a really solid more-than-one-person commitment to keeping it going. hppa has been a problem because it lags behind and developers occasionally end up so annoyed by e-mail about it that they invest time to clean it up11:58
cjwatsonI don't think we should be accepting one-man-band ports11:58
NCommanderIt already has a community11:58
NCommandernexenta is based off ubuntu dapper and hardy11:58
NCommandersix developers, and 50+ users11:58
cjwatsonand they must not involve source changes that would be unacceptable in Ubuntu; that seems obvious but is perhaps worth saying11:58
NCommandercjwatson: of course11:59
cjwatsonsure, but that only helps if they would actually be interested in developing for Ubuntu itself and qualified to do so11:59
cjwatsonalso, 50+ users is not worth the immense investment in terms of archive space11:59
NCommandercjwatson: 50+ is the debian minimin for an offical port. Just saying.11:59
cjwatsonsmall user bases like that should be done separately, IMO11:59
cjwatsonNCommander: that doesn't change my opinion11:59
NCommanderI understand.12:00
cjwatsonevery new port adds a significant fraction to the time that the hourly archive run takes, for instance12:00
NCommanderRight now, I'd just ask the technical board if such a port would be acceptable (since its non-Linux), and then proceed from there on moving towards matching up with Ubuntu and then slowly working towards becoming an offical port12:00
cjwatsonthat time is already unacceptably long12:00
NCommandercjwatson: its 40 minutes * arch last time I checked12:01

NCommanderapt-ftparchive was in that ballpark for me on a clean run ont the archive with no database files12:01
cjwatsoncurrently it takes about an hour for all architectures. But when you consider that the cron job is hourly, that's not to be sneezed at12:02

cjwatsonso at the moment I would be inclined to say that the performance problems MUST be fixed before we can add new ports.12:03

brycemterry: hmm17:21
jcristaumterry: x can't start without ownership of the vt afaik17:21
mterryjcristau: :-/  X can do stuff on a non-foreground VT, so I thought it would be possible.17:23
brycemterry: there is a -keeptty switch but sounds like that makes it reuse the current vt17:23
brycemterry: if you're up for some X hacking, I imagine it might be possible to modify it to add a switch to permit that17:23
mterrybryce: Yeah, the vt related command line arguments aren't useful.  My driver has a -noswitchvt that doesn't do what it sounds like.  Stops switching on shutdown or some such17:24
brycemterry: what exactly are you aiming to do?  maybe there's another way to do it?17:24
mterrybryce: Fair question.  I'm trying to make the bootup a tad smoother.  Start gdm/X on a different VT, keep usplash up, and when GDM is fully up, switch VT17:24
bryceahh17:25
mterrybryce: re: X hacking, I can comment out the obvious VT switching bits in the initialization code, but the driver still seems to draw to the screen (keyboard no longer works w/o the vt switching, so I assume the console didn't switch, but driver still p0wnd my display)17:26
cjwatsonI didn't think that was possible. Surely the driver needs to fiddle with registers before it can know whether it's going to be able to come up.17:26

brycemterry: keep in mind that that stuff may hit in Jaunty, which may shake up that portion of the boot process17:27

bryceif it is, he may also be able to help get you in contact with some -psb folks; if not, let me know and I can give you a name17:44

calci don't think i even have enough diskspace to build OOo on my poor little laptop19:45
calci'll have to free up space to do it19:45
slangaseksuperm1: I'm working on getting right-sized liveCDs first; I can queue a DVD livefs build after19:52
superm1slangasek, okay great thanks19:52
calcis there anything special i need to load to get usb->sata to see partitions19:57
calci hooked my desktop 1tb drive up and it sees it but doesn't show partitions, etc19:58
slangasekyou said "it sees it" - what sees it?20:01
calci'll pastebine20:03
calchttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/47210/20:04
calcit does that then never shows the partitions, etc20:05
torkelnxvl: we are using a bissare mix of kickstart and FAI to install on of our clusters running CentOS. Not anything I would recommend though...20:14
slangasekcalc: hmm, strange; normally the kernel should spit out the partition list right after that, so I don't know what's wrong20:20
slytherinis anyone already working on getting bluez 4.x in intrepid? Fedora 10 is going to have it.20:20
slangaseksomehow it thinks it's a scsi generic device?20:20
calcmaybe the device is too dumb to handle 1tb drive20:23
slytherinsuperm1: I will see if I can create some test packages.20:32
calcdoh!20:38
calci know why it doesn't work20:38
calcit sometimes helps to turn on the power20:39
calchmm this power bar doesn't appear to work at all20:39

nxvlseb128: i mean, i want to launch a program at session start20:47
seb128nxvl: that's for a package or an user setting?20:47
nxvlseb128: and i want to add it from a script, not from menu->system->admin->session and such20:47

looldoko: Hmm I had python-ctypes installed on a system, presumably pulled by an old package and never forced away, it doesn't get autoremoved as many packages dep on python >= 2.5 | python-ctypes; it seems to break ctypes at the moment as there's a version check between python's ctypes and ctypes'20:55
looldoko: Do you think we should patch the version or let python >= 2.5 break python-ctypes to force its removal?20:55
mathiazradix: you last patch for bug 268352 is the same as the previous AFAICT.20:57

loolI just removed the package some minutes ago as the deps allowed it (only autoremove wouldn't catch it)21:01

looldoko: So for some reason, my /usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/__init__.py had version 1.0.2; now that I have removed and reinstalled python-ctypes, it's 1.0.3 and I don't get version mismatch anymore (it's python2.5's ctypes)21:14
geserHi pitti21:15
sebnerpitti: what person do I have to annoy to get information about upstart 0.5 -> intrepid?21:15
loolI wonder how this could happen, perhaps an intermittent python-cetrnal bug; this system was installed under hardy so no 2.4 -> 2.5 upgrade21:15
pittisebner: upstart is Keybuk's baby, but he is sick ATM21:16
pittihi geser21:16
loolsebner: upstart dev is mostly done by Keybuk I think, and last time I heard about it it wasn't finished for intrepid21:16
loolSo it's jaunty material21:16
sebnerpitti, lool : Thx for the info :D just saw that 0.5 is out since august21:16
radixmathiaz: sorry, missed your message earlier21:28
radixlooking now21:28
radixmathiaz: the last patch puts the wrapper script into debian/ instead of into scripts/21:29
radixso that it doesn't affect non-debian/ directories21:29
loolslangasek: Hey can I grab you for a sec?  pigment-python is depwait on all arches because libpigment0.3-dev was installed into universe instead of main; could you promote libpigment0.3-dev to main?  It was in main in hardy, I don't really know why it was demoted; I think it was a typo when libpigment changed SONAME21:44
alex-weejquestion21:49
alex-weejsabdfl's blog about packaging in bzr... does that mean we can branch, pull changes from Ubuntu, pull remaining changes from upstream AND maintain our own changes?21:50
Treenaksalex-weej: if you know your bzr-fu :)21:50
alex-weejawesome!21:50
alex-weeji don't like jhbuild21:51
alex-weeji'd like to have a bleeding edge environment with Ubuntu tools21:51
james_walex-weej: you will be able to eventually, but not in Jaunty.21:52
alex-weejjames_w: what's coming in Jaunty then?21:53
james_walex-weej: for jaunty there will only be Ubuntu history, we will then work on adding the rest later21:53
alex-weejok21:53
alex-weeji was thinking it would be sane to just pull from upstream's RCS, forget about packaging history21:53
alex-weejbut if you have some kind of plan to merge the two, rather you than me!21:54
james_walex-weej: yeah, the details of merging them are still a bit hazy, for me at least, but we've got a while before we can implement it21:55
alex-weejok cool21:58

LaneyHow does the bzr stuff work for packages we merge from Debian? Surely then we'll only get one monolithic "debian+upstream" change?22:08
LaneyActually I guess you can separate out orig.tar.gz and diff.gz changes22:08
ScottKLaney: There's a long spec on the proposed change.  I suggest search the wiki. (I don't recall the url).22:10
james_wLaney: yeah, when Debian changes are integrated then you will be able to get diff upstream->debian and diff upstream+debian->ubuntu22:10
* Laney has seen it22:10
Laneyjames_w: That's what I wanted to know, nice!22:10
james_wLaney: and obviously any other combination of diff that you want, upstream->ubuntu etc.22:11

DktrKranzNCommander, indeed! Mostly busy with new boss and working far away from home. I hope to have more time now22:47
NCommanderDktrKranz: I made your work easy in bug form22:47
NCommander(although its not a fun bug)22:47
slangasekAdri2000: it's my opinion that ftps is fairly niche, so a fix for that needs to be balanced against the risk of any other changes included; it doesn't look too bad from 1000 feet up, anyway22:48
DktrKranzNCommander, it's a shame LP is so unfair with stable relase tasks on bugs with several packages affected22:49
NCommanderDktrKranz: well, please upload to proposed :-)22:50
DktrKranzoh... so many packages, weren't only six or seven?22:50
