| lfaraone | slangasek: ah, we got it, it's on archive.org | 00:05 |

| bryce | mdz, I've sorted out why the OCD doesn't display - it's a bug in gnome-power-manager | 02:26 |
| bryce | hmm, no mdz | 02:26 |
| bryce | cjwatson: so mdz's bug is a combination of two bugs - one is a thinkpad t61 kernel bug, that it's not propagating numlock key changes up properly (verified this with whot upstream), the other bug is local to gnome-power-manager where it's not bothering to grab keys with modifiers (it's grabbing with modmap=0 instead of modmap=AnyModifier) | 02:28 |

| NCommander | ScottK, I did some initial debugging on openexr; the main issue seems to be a race issue in glibc (it appears to me that some of the pthread() functions aren't working appropriately). I'm running the test suite on glibc as we speak. If you need this package uploaded, and you don't care about it supporting threads (due to the borked glibc), I can give you a patch to prevent it from calling make check on HPPA | 05:57 |

| lukehasnoname | I'll check. | 08:39 |
| geser | lukehasnoname: try "sudo apt-get install linux-generic" and it should tell you why it can't be installed | 08:39 |
| lukehasnoname | geser: I ran the install and I didn't get errors | 08:43 |
| persia | lukehasnoname, In that case it probably included a new dependency : update-manager won't install those except when doing a distribution upgrade. | 08:44 |

| mvo | cjwatson: are you ok with http://paste.ubuntu.com/55921/ ? | 08:51 |
| liw | mvo, in update-manager, you seem to be using gettext.gettext rather than gettext.install/gettext.translation. the latter is strongly recommended by the python stdlib docs. do you have a reason to prefer gettext.gettext? | 08:56 |
| mvo | liw: no strong reason, that I what I used in C and I'm familiar with. | 08:57 |
| liw | mvo, ack, that's a good reason | 08:58 |
| mvo | liw: what is the advantage of using the alternative form? | 08:58 |
| mvo | liw: is there something to read up? pydoc gettext seems to be not that informative | 08:58 |
| liw | mvo, "more flexibility and greater convenience than the GNU gettext API" says file:///usr/share/doc/python2.5/html/lib/node732.html | 08:59 |
| liw | mvo, the flexibility probably means just that the newer API allows easily switching between languages, or supporting several concurrently | 09:00 |

| mvo | liw: aha, cool. thanks. I will keep that in mind :) | 09:01 |
| tseliot | mvo: hi :-) | 09:01 |
| liw | mvo, I'm not sure the "greater convenience" applies to modules, just for applications, but we'll see; since the new API is the recommended one, I'll do system-cleaner with it, and we can compare notes some day | 09:02 |
| mvo | liw: sounds good! | 09:03 |
| liw | I have found a surprising dearth of documentation on this | 09:03 |
| mvo | liw: gettext in python? yeah, it seems that everybody just copies what he found other code. I find it also slightly anoying that gtk.glade needs its own bindtextdomain() calls (or at least it needed when I wrote the code) | 09:04 |
| liw | mvo, I think I saw a note somewhere saying that it might not be needed anymore, but who knows... writing such a doc (or a patch to python's stdlib docs) would be a good upstream contribution | 09:06 |
| * mvo nods | 09:06 | |
| cjwatson | mvo: hmm, disabling cancel altogether sort of worries me. Could you wrap that in an environment variable that update-manager sets for now, and send it upstream to see what Joey thinks of it? | 09:19 |
| cjwatson | mvo: the rest is OK although would it be worth allowing GDK_FUNC_RESIZE and GDK_FUNC_MAXIMIZE too? | 09:20 |

| cjwatson | liw: I think gettext.translation makes more sense for modules in the same way that C libraries using gettext need to use dgettext - it gives you separate control over the domain in use | 09:22 |
| cjwatson | hmm, although python gettext offers dgettext too | 09:23 |
| cjwatson | dunno then :) | 09:23 |

| pitti | tseliot: bah, this Python unicode() vs. UTF-8 handling keeps driving me nuts | 10:10 |
| tseliot | pitti: is the error message handled by the kde ui? | 10:11 |
| tseliot | kde or gtk | 10:11 |
| pitti | tseliot: why is wrapping the string into unicode() the right fix here? | 10:12 |
| pitti | tseliot: it looks like a wrong encoding in a translation to me? | 10:12 |
| tseliot | pitti: kde uses QStrings | 10:12 |
| pitti | tseliot: but this isn't KDE, this is just simple "print" to stdout | 10:12 |
| pitti | stderr, but same thing | 10:12 |
| tseliot | pitti: where do you take the error message from? | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | fabbione: partman-base | 10:13 |
| pitti | tseliot: self.string_unprivileged | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | fabbione: it's parted_devices, BTW | 10:13 |
| pitti | tseliot: it calls AbstractUI._("english string") | 10:14 |
| fabbione | cjwatson: oh yes.. parted_devices sorry.. but i know you are much quicker than me there :) thanks | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | pitti: if this is a Qt frontend, anything you get back from Qt as a QString tends to have to be wrappped in unicode() :( | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | I ran into that in a big way in ubiquity | 10:14 |
| pitti | cjwatson: that also affects the standard _() function? | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | pitti: oh, or for printing to stdout, there is some really annoying stuff you have to do | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | no, this is separate | 10:15 |
| pitti | right, I assumed that much | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | # Avoid having to do .encode('UTF-8') everywhere. This is a pain; I wish | 10:15 |

| pitti | tseliot: hm, I don't get the crash with de_DE.UTF-8 (same as the reporter), and I get proper umlauts on stderr | 10:19 |
| pitti | tseliot: with both the GTK and KDE frontends | 10:19 |
| tseliot | pitti: it might depend on the locale. I had a similar problem with Envy with a Turkish guy | 10:20 |
| pitti | tseliot: right, I know, but I'm using the very same locale as the reporter | 10:20 |
| tseliot | ah | 10:21 |
| tseliot | ok, it would be nice if we could reproduce the problem | 10:21 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I fixed the hpgl regression and uploaded 1.3.9 to debian and intrepid | 10:23 |
| cjwatson | pitti: unfortunately python people don't appear to understand how encodings actually conventionally work in Unix and regard all this as not-a-bug | 10:23 |
| pitti | too many MacOS X programmers amongst them? :-/ | 10:24 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, great, it contains also an important fix in pstops. | 10:24 |
| cjwatson | specifically they don't understand that stream encodings are supposed to be set by the environment not (in some undefined way) by the terminal [even though in some entirely different ideal world the latter might be how it ought to work] | 10:24 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, why does "bzr pull"W not show it? | 10:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I just pushed like 10 seconds ago | 10:24 |
| cjwatson | and that there have to be ways to override it since the environment can be wrong | 10:25 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, sorry, I was 1 minute too early | 10:25 |
| cjwatson | actually, python does set stdout's encoding from the environment, but *only if stdout is a terminal*. This is clearly mad since putting | less after your program can cause it to stop working. | 10:26 |
| pitti | indeed I just tried that, but it still works | 10:26 |
| tseliot | pitti: is it worth catching the exception then? (not that I like it...) | 10:26 |
| pitti | $ PYTHONPATH=. gtk/jockey-gtk --check 2>&1 |cat | 10:26 |
| pitti | Sie sind nicht berechtigt, diese Aktion auszuführen. | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | it depends on your environment | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | the reporter might have the locale set but not in fact have the locale generated, for example | 10:26 |
| pitti | ah, that's a good thing to ask in the bug report | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | I really would suggest just clobbering it with something like the rune I suggested above | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | python is known-broken in this area and you have to set things explicitly | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | if sys.stdout.encoding were writable it would be much more pleasant | 10:27 |
| pitti | cjwatson: right, I just don't feel good about hardcoding UTF-8, since users might actually use an ISO, KOI-8, or whatever encoding in their locale | 10:28 |
| cjwatson | pitti: use locale.getpreferredencoding() in place of 'UTF-8' then | 10:28 |
| cjwatson | (I haven't tested that but I think it should work) | 10:29 |
| pitti | this raises a severe deja-vu for me; I think I got that like half a year ago in apport | 10:29 |
| cjwatson | pitti: confirmed, http://paste.ubuntu.com/55934/ | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | you might want to do the same for stderr | 10:38 |

| ScottK | OK. Will do. | 11:11 |
| asac | ScottK: i have received other complains, but couldnt reproduce here except for a hybrid setup | 11:11 |
| asac | ScottK: for me "wired" interfaces always have a metric/prio of "1" and wireless have a metric/prio of "2" | 11:12 |
| mvo | could some native speaker/UI expert review those strings: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55942/ ? its for the upgrade note about the new fusa applet that replaced the logout button | 11:12 |
| asac | which should tie-break the path the packages travel - assuming that both interfaces provide a route to the same net | 11:12 |
| ScottK | OK. | 11:13 |
| asac | ScottK: are you using NM 0.7 on intrepid right now? if so, please post the routing right away :) | 11:14 |
| asac | (even if you dont see the package loss right now9 | 11:14 |
| StevenK | asac: gnash is still on your list, right? | 11:14 |
| ScottK | asac: Will do | 11:15 |
| ScottK | asac: In the bug or pastebin? | 11:16 |
| james_w | mvo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55946/ | 11:16 |
| mvo | james_w: excellent, thanks! is the text ok? understandable etc? | 11:16 |
| james_w | mvo: "got" -> "has been", "on the standard location" -> "in the standard location" | 11:16 |
| james_w | mvo: yeah, but you might want a UI review if you can find somebody | 11:17 |
| mvo | james_w: I will try, I had hoped that mpt is around | 11:18 |
| ScottK | asac: I added it to Bug #280919 | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 280919 in network-manager "NetworkManager 0.7~~svn20081008t224042-0ubuntu1 breaks Knetworkmanager" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/280919 | 11:18 |
| james_w | mvo: yeah, is seele around? | 11:18 |
| james_w | does anyone know if it's possible to get rmadison to really show me just source records. It seems to recognise "source" as an architecture, and has a "source and binary" option that I'm not selecting, but it still shows me all architectures. | 11:19 |
| james_w | looking at the php it seems to proxy directly to "dak ls" calls | 11:20 |
| mvo | ogra: what video driver is this? | 11:28 |
| ogra | mvo, intel | 11:29 |
| * ogra goes to debug it more | 11:30 | |
| ogra | might be gpm | 11:30 |
| ogra | or just a bug in xorg wrt dpms | 11:30 |
| cjwatson | james_w: it actually proxies to madison-lite for us; it's probably a madison-lite bug if it doesn't work. That said, 'rmadison -a source linux' seems to DTRT. What's your example? | 11:42 |
| james_w | cjwatson: ah, I was running against Debian | 11:42 |
| james_w | it does indeed seem to work for Ubuntu | 11:43 |
| asac | ScottK: thanks. the routing looks fine. but as you said in the bug you didnt have problems with that? | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | james_w: ahright | 11:44 |
| ScottK | asac: Yes. Riddell just reported he has no wired connection either right now. | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | it's rather unusual for madison-lite to work *better* than dak ls ... | 11:44 |
| asac | ScottK: ok. you dont see an AP ... but thats a different issue (if not a general knetworkmanager bug) | 11:44 |
| ScottK | So I think there is a real problem here, not sure exactly what as I couldn't replicate the laggy behaviour I saw yesterday. | 11:44 |
| asac | ScottK: you could try to load iwl4965 with disable_hw_scan=1 ... and see if you get more reliable scans | 11:45 |
| liw | davmor2, rumor tells me you have an acer aspire one... does it require non-free drivers? | 11:45 |
| ScottK | Could be. Others have no wired at all, so don't take my success as meaningful. | 11:45 |
| asac | (but thats a different bug) | 11:45 |
| Riddell | actually my eth0 seems to have disappeared completely | 11:45 |
| asac | ScottK: others == users that currently see this problem? | 11:45 |
| ScottK | I think that's probably unrelated | 11:45 |
| Riddell | dmesg doesn't show it | 11:45 |
| davmor2 | liw: I do indeed, goes and double checks | 11:45 |
| ScottK | asac: Yes. Riddell and regreening at least. | 11:46 |
| asac | Riddell: e1000? | 11:46 |
| asac | ;) | 11:46 |
| asac | Riddell: if you see packet loss please put your route -n to the bug | 11:46 |
| Riddell | asac: fortunately not | 11:46 |
| asac | Riddell: if eth0 is gone its obviously a driver issue. if wireless is the only iface used, its unlikely that slowness is a NM problem | 11:47 |
| asac | at least ii dont see how it could be :/ | 11:47 |
| Riddell | I have no eth0 but I have something called pan0 | 11:50 |
| asac | Riddell: but that doesnt show up in NM right? | 11:50 |
| asac | Riddell: pan0 :( | 11:50 |
| Treenaks | Riddell: pan0 is bluetooth-related | 11:51 |
| asac | Riddell: hal-find-by-capability --capability net.80203 | 11:51 |
| Riddell | oh. bluetooth. | 11:51 |
| asac | if that doesnt show up anything then NM cannot know your wired | 11:51 |
| asac | for wireless its: hal-find-by-capability --capability net.80211 | 11:51 |
| Riddell | asac: that shows up nothing indeed | 11:51 |
| asac | for 3G mdoem its: hal-find-by-capability --capability modem | 11:52 |
| Riddell | the wireless one shows something | 11:52 |
| asac | Riddell: yeah. what chipset has your wired? | 11:52 |
| Riddell | 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection | 11:53 |
| Riddell | "Kernel modules: e1000e" erk | 11:53 |
| asac | ha ;) | 11:53 |
| asac | i knew it :-D | 11:53 |
| asac | wasnts e1000e fixed? | 11:53 |
| asac | Riddell: is that driver loaded (e.g. lsmod | grep e1000) ? | 11:53 |
| persia | Yes, but the key to restore broken firmware wasn't pushed (IIRC) | 11:54 |
| asac | oh ... so Riddell has a broken firmware ;) ... not that cool | 11:54 |
| Riddell | asac: yes | 11:54 |
| Riddell | shows how often I use ethernet | 11:54 |
| asac | Riddell: ok i think you should talk to rtg | 11:54 |
| asac | Riddell: and your wireless issues are? | 11:55 |
| Riddell | asac: my wireless is all good | 11:55 |
| asac | ok. then there is no NM regression at least :) | 11:55 |
| Riddell | well other people have troubles we havn't got to the bottom of yet | 11:56 |
| liw | if I add translatable strings to my code, the .pot file needs updating; do I just re-create it from scratch using xgettext or what? | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | gettext supplies a Makefile that can do it | 12:14 |
| liw | /usr/share/gettext/intl/Makefile.in? | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | you don't want to copy it around by hand if you can help it ... | 12:16 |
| liw | or possibly /usr/share/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in, hmm | 12:16 |
| liw | cjwatson, yeah, I really really don't want hundreds of lines of excessively complicated Makefiles :) | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | I guess you aren't using automake | 12:16 |
| liw | this is for a Python program, so no | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | you could use gettextize | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | and see what it does and whether you can massage the result to be acceptable | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | usually you just leave its results in po/ and forget about it | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | to directly answer your original question, it ultimately comes down to recreating it using xgettext and using msgmerge to update the .po files | 12:17 |
| liw | . o O (someone needs to document this really well) | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | info gettext | 12:18 |
| liw | cjwatson, I have been reading that, and I find it to be confusing | 12:18 |
| cjwatson | while I sympathise with a detestation of autogenerated Makefiles, in this case it is orders of magnitude less wasted time than doing it by hand, IME | 12:19 |
| liw | might be because it's a complicated process, of course | 12:19 |
| liw | cjwatson, that's possibly true, but then I need to deal with the massive headache of keeping the autogeneration of the Makefile working | 12:20 |
| cjwatson | I find that easier than keeping the .pot/.po files working without that | 12:20 |
| liw | gettextize won't work without autotools being used, it seems | 12:20 |
| cjwatson | you could look at how debconf does it | 12:21 |
| cjwatson | it has a by-hand Makefile for this | 12:21 |
| cjwatson | copying somebody else's by-hand work is probably easier than duplicating it :) | 12:21 |
| liw | I return to my point that someone needs to document this well :) | 12:23 |
| liw | as far as I can see, there needs to be something that updates the .pot file with new strings (and removes old ones?), then based on that updates the .po files (adds missing strings, marks changed strings as fuzzy?); that doesn't sound like it should require autotools or hordes of Makefile magic | 12:24 |
| cjwatson | update .pot files with new strings => xgettext; update .po files => msgmerge; you also need something to compile .po to .gmo files; you might want to support 'make install' and/or 'make dist'; sometimes people want to disable i18n or enable only certain languages; and some people want to support systems where GNU gettext is not already installed | 12:28 |
| cjwatson | also some maintainers only want to rebuild .pot manually rather than automatically | 12:29 |
| cjwatson | or want to update it only if the .pot changed non-trivially (i.e. more than just the creation date or whatever) | 12:29 |
| cjwatson | (which avoids vcs noise) | 12:29 |
| liw | are .gmo files the same as .mo files or is this some fourth type of file? | 12:30 |
| cjwatson | once you do all of that you're actually not that far off the complexity of gettext's po/Makefile.in.in | 12:30 |
| cjwatson | info gettext C-s gmo | 12:30 |
| liw | ack, they're gnu's extended and embraced version of .mo, good :) | 12:32 |
| liw | cjwatson, all that complexity could surely be wrapped in tools less awful than autotools, I'm sure; anyway, I don't want or need most of the complexity, so I'll go some simpler route | 12:36 |
| mvo | liw: check out python-distutils-extra if you look for something that does the i18n in system cleaner | 12:39 |
| liw | mvo, that looks like useful for the parts that are involved in installing the .mo files; does it take care of generating the .mo files from .po files, too? | 12:42 |
| mvo | liw: yes | 12:42 |
| liw | cool | 12:42 |
| mvo | liw: it should do all that is required, if not, file a bug against it | 12:42 |
| mvo | (or let glatzor or me know about the problem) | 12:43 |
| liw | mvo, is it also involved in updating .po files from .pot? | 12:43 |
| * liw goes read docs | 12:44 | |
| mvo | liw: yes, it should do all that, check gnome-app-install setup.cfg and setup.py for a example | 12:44 |
| mvo | liw: + po/POTFILES.in and you should be done | 12:44 |
| mvo | liw: it also supports desktop files and desktop file i18n | 12:45 |
| asac | Riddell: if people have troubles ask them if they are running a hybrid setup (meaning: 1 device managed in /etc/network/interfaces and the other in NM) | 12:45 |
| Riddell | asac: right | 12:45 |
| asac | Riddell: that setup is know to have metric issues i still have to sort somehow | 12:45 |
| liw | mvo, "setup.py build_i18n --merge-po" seems to require a po/POTFILES.in, which does not support wildcards; is that intentional? | 13:15 |
| mvo | liw: po/POTFILES.in is required, not sure about the wildcards, it uses intltool internally, not sure if that supports them or not (I guess not if you have problems with it) | 13:17 |
| liw | mvo, ah, so it's just intltool-update that uses that, ok | 13:18 |
| mvo | liw: yeah, its just a (thin) wrapper around the intltool* stuff | 13:18 |
| alkisg | mvo, has anyone reported that in intrepid beta update-manager doesn't *ever* close itself but just hangs in the "ldconfig deferred processing" phase? | 13:19 |
| mvo | alkisg: yes - that bug is milestoned | 13:20 |

| Treenaks | I can't find it in network-manager{,-gnome} | 13:26 |
| alkisg | mvo, and another somewhat serious one, gparted (and the installer) can't create smaller partitions on empty disks (tried on different 3 PCs). I had to create 1 full-disk partition, shrink it, then create others and then run the installer... | 13:27 |
| mvo | alkisg: oh, is that reported already? | 13:31 |
| alkisg | mvo, I saw something similar reported, but only for the installer, not the backend lib which is used (and I think the fault is there... libparted is it?) | 13:32 |
| cjwatson | alkisg: I've never heard of such a bug (I co-maintain the installer); it must be hardware-specific. Can you refer me to the bug number? | 13:33 |
| alkisg | It's usually reported as ubiquity crashed, with auto-collected debug data | 13:33 |
| alkisg | I've sent one myself, and was considered a duplicate | 13:34 |
| alkisg | let me find it... | 13:34 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure why that would be a crash, unless there's something more than what you described above | 13:35 |
| lool | liw: Good :) | 13:35 |
| lool | liw: Do you need sponsoring for system-cleaner with i18n? | 13:35 |
| liw | lool, when it's done, yes | 13:36 |
| alkisg | This is the main one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/260001 (I think it's the same symptoms as mine), | 13:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 260001 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader()" [Undecided,New] | 13:36 |
| cjwatson | configure_bootloader has nothing to do with creating partitions! | 13:36 |
| alkisg | And this one's mine: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/278019 | 13:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 278019 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader() (dup-of: 260001)" [Undecided,New] | 13:36 |
| alkisg | cjwatson, read mine, I'm not really sure if they're the same | 13:37 |
| cjwatson | this sounds like the problem where libparted sometimes forgets to change the partition type | 13:37 |
| alkisg | cjwatson, yes, that's what I got | 13:37 |
| cjwatson | I've tried to figure that out multiple times and haven't got anywhere; I can give it another shot, I suppose | 13:37 |
| cjwatson | describing it as "can't create smaller partitions on empty disks" is a bit overly broad though :) | 13:38 |
| cjwatson | it only happens if you're creating the partition at the same position as something that used to be NTFS | 13:38 |
| alkisg | But I also tried (in another system) to just create an ext3 partition with 100Gb size (disk = 640Gb), and it couldn't. Not the installer, not gparted. | 13:38 |
| cjwatson | alkisg: that's a different problem and I'd like to know about it | 13:38 |
| cjwatson | (with logs etc.) | 13:38 |
| cjwatson | seriously, I create partitions less than the size of the disk all the time :) | 13:39 |
| alkisg | cjwatson, ouch, this morning I've setup the system, and it's on a lab I'm not responsible for... | 13:39 |
| cjwatson | although not on 640GB disks; it could be an overflow of some kind | 13:39 |
| alkisg | It has 2 disks, I'll remove one and reproduce it, but I can only do it next weekend. Is this ok? | 13:39 |
| cjwatson | it'll have to be :) | 13:39 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 13:39 |
| alkisg | thank you guys. | 13:40 |
| cjwatson | I'll see if I can replicate the NTFS partition type thing today | 13:40 |

| ogra | seb128, btw, the volume control applet and brigthness are applet not closing their rulers anymore by default, is that a upsteam decision ? | 14:10 |
| seb128 | ogra: dunno about the brightness but the volume one is an upstream choice | 14:10 |

| ubottu | Gnome bug 553249 in mixer "Dock windows dangle when the panel autohides." [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 14:13 |
| ogra | doesnt look like anyone will fix it in time, thats indeed quite bad with autohiding | 14:14 |
| * ogra personally just saw it as an annoyance he could live with, just wanted to know it was intentional | 14:15 | |
| ogra | mvo, sooo, removing gpm fixes the issue, looking at the log i see xorg loads DPMS for the intel driver, i guess we have a concurring situation between xorg and gpm both wanting to handle DPMS (we had that before) | 14:27 |
| ogra | tjaalton, ^^^ | 14:27 |
| * ogra will now try to put something in place that unsets DPMS for X and instal gpm again and see if that fixes it as well to prove that | 14:27 | |
| tjaalton | ogra: xset -dpms | 14:29 |
| ogra | tjaalton, ah, right, i was starting to play with hal-set-property stuff in gdm Init :) | 14:29 |
| ogra | thast easier indeed | 14:30 |
| ogra | and probably more effective as well :) | 14:31 |
| mvo | thanks ogra, could you please add that to the bugreport? | 14:33 |
| ogra | mvo, if i'm sure ... | 14:33 |
| ogra | i just remembered that clash from before, i'm not sure yet that it is the cause, and compiz surely plays a role as well, as switching to metacity solves it | 14:34 |
| * ogra twiddles thumbs waiting for gpm | 14:35 | |
| ogra | hmm | 14:38 |
| ogra | no gpm reaction ... | 14:41 |
| ogra | hah, now it kicked in | 14:43 |
| ogra | mvo, so "xset -dpms" makes it work ... | 14:43 |
| ogra | tjaalton, can we default to have the driver not using it ? | 14:44 |
| ogra | though i guess that gets us probs in gdm | 14:44 |
| persia | If the issue only happens in a compiz session, perhaps compiz could xset -dpms ? | 14:45 |
| ogra | yeah, hat sounds sane | 14:45 |
| ogra | *that | 14:45 |
| jcristau | actually it doesn't | 14:45 |
| persia | jcristau, I trust you more than I when it comes to X. Why is it not sane? | 14:47 |
| jcristau | maybe i just don't understand the problem though.. | 14:47 |
| ogra | jcristau, the driver wanting to set xorg dpms values concurring to gpm wanting to do the same | 14:47 |
| persia | But only with compiz? With metacity, this issue doesn't exist? | 14:48 |
| tjaalton | DPMS in xserver has been enabled by default two years ago | 14:48 |
| Treenaks | ogra: (is this gpm the console mouse thing?!) | 14:48 |
| ogra | persia, right | 14:48 |
| ogra | Treenaks, gnome-power-manager ... | 14:49 |
| Treenaks | ogra: ah, sorry ok :) | 14:49 |
| emgent | evening | 14:49 |
| ogra | jcristau, we had that prob before though at times where dpms was handled by gnome-screensaver, that functionallity moved over to gpm within the last year | 14:50 |
| jcristau | i think it'd be more sane to understand the bug and fix it than to disable dpms.. | 14:50 |
| ogra | you dont disable it | 14:50 |
| ogra | gpm stil cares, you just move the trigger out of X | 14:51 |
| persia | Well, you're disabling it in X, and expecting something else to handle it. | 14:51 |
| ogra | right | 14:51 |
| jcristau | there's an interface for that in some extension, iirc | 14:51 |
| persia | On the other hand, if X is doing it, and doing it right, perhaps it makes more sense for other things not to do it. | 14:51 |
| ogra | persia, that would mean to hack up hal/gpm | 14:52 |
| ogra | either hal/gpm is broken in combo with compiz and dpms or X is ... | 14:52 |
| ogra | well | 14:53 |
| persia | ogra, Indeed. Something is the culprit. | 14:53 |
| ogra | s/X/the intel driver/ | 14:53 |
| jcristau | the driver, really? | 14:54 |
| ogra | i dont care on which side we fix it, atm i'm just trying to nail down the issue properly :) | 14:54 |
| persia | :) | 14:54 |
| ogra | jcristau, it could as well be that gpm or hal dont use the right backend interface ... | 14:54 |
| ogra | if you say there is an interface | 14:55 |
| ogra | all i can say that switching off either of the dpms handlers fixes the issue | 14:56 |
| ogra | +is | 14:56 |
| jcristau | they probably do, if it works without compiz | 14:57 |
| * ogra looks at compiz plugins | 14:59 | |

| pitti | zul: if it was a dput error, I can just reject it; if it was deliberate, please fix the version | 15:00 |
| pitti | ah, ok | 15:00 |
| zul | misfire on my part | 15:00 |
| pitti | alright, saves me some reviewing :) | 15:00 |
| pitti | zul: thanks | 15:00 |
| zul | np | 15:00 |
| pitti | so, I accepted libv4l source and binaries in the same publisher cycle; kees, what's necessary now to make v4l work again? | 15:02 |
| StevenK | pitti: Ah, since you're here. Now do we want to kill gnutls13 dead, or just demote it to universe? | 15:02 |
| pitti | StevenK: oh, everything in main uses 26 now? | 15:02 |
| StevenK | pitti: No, there's a bunch of stuff in main that uses 13 | 15:02 |
| pitti | StevenK: I'll demote it for now; if someone wants to do the work of completing the transition, that would be good, but not really critical | 15:03 |
| StevenK | pitti: All up, it's 59 source packages, main + universe | 15:03 |
| persia | I think we should target getting it killed completely. Orphans in universe tend to get the least possible support. | 15:03 |
| pitti | should be like 5 or 6 packages in main | 15:03 |
| ogra | hmm, nothing in compiz touches dpms | 15:03 |
| pitti | persia: true that | 15:03 |
| * StevenK checks | 15:04 | |
| pitti | StevenK: I just finished doing new, I'm fine with doing the transition for main right now | 15:04 |
| pitti | oh, erm, cjwatson, do you know whether we have a release meeting today? | 15:04 |
| StevenK | pitti: Meh, I have a script that can do and upload it in about 5 minutes. | 15:04 |
| pitti | StevenK: oh, ok, please do that then :) | 15:05 |
| StevenK | pitti: Longer if you'd rather test them and confirm they don't pull in 13 | 15:05 |
| pitti | StevenK: I don't want to stop you, just wanted to take some bits off your shoulders | 15:05 |
| StevenK | Shrug | 15:05 |
| * lamont mutters at NCommander that yes, the current thinking is that there is a bug in the NPTL/hppa implementation | 15:05 | |
| StevenK | I *like* doing NBS | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | pitti: as far as I know; it's on the calendar | 15:06 |
| pitti | StevenK: ok, please go ahead then; seems I need to prep for the meeting, and I still need to do SRU, too | 15:06 |
| pitti | StevenK: that's 59 binaries, sources looks more like 30 | 15:07 |
| StevenK | I had it has 59 sources | 15:07 |
| pitti | hm, maybe | 15:07 |
| StevenK | 9 sources in main | 15:07 |
| pitti | StevenK: anyway, gnutls13 and opencdk10 were removed from Debian long ago, so if anything breaks, they have the patches | 15:08 |
| * ScottK supports persia's suggestion about killing it. | 15:08 | |
| pitti | agreed | 15:09 |
| james_w | I think 13->26 might have been one where the API changed but the -dev package didn't change name because the fallout was small | 15:10 |
| pitti | right, it stayed libgnutls-dev | 15:10 |
| persia | james_w, That would mean we have about 60 packages that might FTBFS. Let's try to get them all updated by Monday. Between StevenK, ScottK, pitti, you, and I we ought be able to do it. | 15:10 |
| * StevenK has the list | 15:11 | |
| james_w | persia: let me find the transition bug first | 15:11 |
| * StevenK is about to deal with main | 15:11 | |
| pitti | agreed; upload them all wholesale, and then collect the pieces which broke | 15:11 |
| StevenK | All sixty of them? | 15:11 |
| james_w | persia: that should tell us what did in Debian, and whether we have the fixed packages | 15:11 |
| ScottK | Sure. | 15:11 |
| StevenK | Okay | 15:11 |
| StevenK | I can do that soonish | 15:11 |
| mvo | ogra: I suspect it might be because compiz switches on some 3d stuff that then makes the dpms more sensitive or something | 15:11 |
| pitti | StevenK: it might be worth going through them and compare if Debian just has a new revision; then we should sync instead | 15:12 |
| persia | StevenK, Thanks. And the rest of us will look at FTBFS fallout, and help port. | 15:12 |
| ogra | mvo, yeah, might be | 15:12 |
| james_w | pitti: did libv4l go to main? | 15:12 |
| StevenK | pitti: That's a little harder | 15:12 |
| pitti | StevenK: unless they did something weird, of course | 15:12 |
| ogra | mvo, at least in gpm there were no changes to dpms since nearly a year according to the changelog | 15:12 |
| pitti | james_w: no, universe; is there an MIR for it already? | 15:12 |
| StevenK | pitti: It's very easy for me to bump them buildX | 15:12 |
| StevenK | to buildX | 15:12 |
| pitti | StevenK: ok, do that then; we can check for syncs for the ones which FTBFSed | 15:12 |
| StevenK | Right | 15:12 |
| james_w | pitti: I don't think so, so that would be the next step | 15:12 |
| StevenK | It's a little more work, but not much | 15:13 |
| StevenK | I'm just going to assume they build | 15:13 |
| pitti | StevenK: ok, convinced | 15:13 |
| StevenK | Using changelog entry of "No-change rebuild for libgnutls13 -> libgnutls26 transistion." | 15:14 |
| StevenK | Unless james_w finds a bug first | 15:14 |
| james_w | give me two minutes, I should be able to | 15:14 |
| StevenK | james_w: If I put the bug number in the changelog entry, the janitor will try and close tasks for each of those packages in that bug | 15:15 |
| StevenK | I'm also ignoring gnash, since I know it FTBFS, and asac will update it. | 15:16 |
| james_w | http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-gnutls-maint/2008-May/001420.html | 15:16 |
| james_w | lynx is usually the pain | 15:17 |
| asac | StevenK: it should work ... try: bzr branch lp:~gnash/gnash/ubuntu.head; cd ubuntu.head; ./debian/build_head | 15:17 |
| StevenK | I was talking about 0.8.2-0ubuntu3 | 15:17 |
| james_w | StevenK: but I can't find a tracking bug, so please go ahead and we'll work with the fallout | 15:18 |
| StevenK | james_w: Aye | 15:19 |
| StevenK | I can make a bug | 15:20 |
| persia | StevenK, Why not only put the packages that FTBFS in the bug, due to the "Can't unsubscribe" bug in LP. | 15:21 |
| StevenK | persia: That works | 15:21 |
| StevenK | I'll make a bug of the ones that FTBFS | 15:21 |
| persia | Please subscribe the rest of us to it :) | 15:22 |
| StevenK | Heh, yes | 15:22 |
| ScottK | Also subscribe NCommander to it. He loves FTBFS. | 15:23 |
| StevenK | asac: Or I can just upload the bzr head of gnash to intrepid :-P | 15:24 |
| persia | Hrm. Maybe just subscribe cruft-busters : that's most of us, and includes other interested parties. | 15:24 |

| mdz | pitti: if you could do it, I would be grateful, as my wrists are quite sore already after yesterday | 16:27 |
| pitti | mdz: no problem, consider it done | 16:28 |
| mdz | pitti: I just saw the "new improved logout button" update-notifier action | 16:28 |
| mdz | pitti: but pressing "perform this action now" has no visible effect | 16:29 |
| mdz | s/perform/run/ | 16:29 |
| pitti | mvo: ^ hmm; shouldn't gconf changes be visible immediately? or does it need a panel restart? | 16:29 |
| mvo | Riddell: have you made up your mind about kdm-kde4 ? | 16:29 |
| pitti | mvo: if the latter, mabye that can become part of the script? | 16:29 |
| pitti | mdz: does killall gnome-panel update it for you? | 16:29 |
| mdz | pitti,mvo: I just restarted my panel and it is still unchanged | 16:29 |
| Riddell | mvo: mm, what was the question again? | 16:30 |
| mvo | mdz: none at all? that is odd, it should present a dialog in both in success or failure case | 16:30 |
| mvo | mdz: do you have /usr/share/gnome-panel/migrate-fusa-config.py ? | 16:30 |
| mvo | mdz: is that 755 ? | 16:30 |

| mvo | Riddell: you mentioned earlier it should be purged on upgrade? | 16:31 |
| mdz | good guess | 16:31 |
| mvo | mdz: thanks, that explains it :/ | 16:31 |
| mvo | mdz: could you make it 755 and see if that makes it more happy? | 16:31 |
| mvo | mdz: I will fix this here right away (and wonder why it worked for me) | 16:32 |

| pitti | mvo: locally built package, I figure | 16:32 |
| mvo | mdz: aha! what does your panel look like? did you customize it before? | 16:32 |
| mdz | mvo: I have added some applets | 16:33 |
| mdz | mvo: but I have a fusa applet and a logout applet | 16:33 |
| kees | pitti: what's left are the libv4l patches that have been collected for various applications -- I think pgraner and wouter attached details to the bug and sent to ubuntu-devel | 16:33 |
| Riddell | mvo: kdm (in intrepid) and kdm-kde4 (in hardy) both contain /etc/kde4/kdm. kdm in intrepid conflicts with kdm-kde4 in hardy. will kdm-kde4 get removed first then kdm installed? in which case purge is good | 16:34 |
| mvo | mdz: it is (currently) very careful, if the logout button is in a different place than in the original config, it will fail. could you sent me a "gconftool --dump /apps/panel" please? | 16:34 |

| mvo | pitti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56025/ is the current text for the notification - do you think there should be more? | 16:47 |

| pitti | cjwatson: I'll change the jockey handler to succeed and display itself only if the version > 2:8.532, FYI; then it will auto-fix itself once we put a fixed one into intrepid-updates | 16:51 |
| mpt | mvo, why are we even asking this question? | 16:51 |
| mpt | If we weren't confident that it's a better design, we shouldn't be doing it at all | 16:52 |
| mvo | mpt: that is a long story, basicly because we don't want to mess with the users configuration automatically without further questions. and also because people might have shared /home paritions where this change breaks when they boot a older version (or a different version) of linux | 16:53 |
| mpt | mvo, hang on, I need to yell at Ted about this, brb | 16:53 |
| mvo | mpt: pitti and tedg have more background on this, I'm little more than the messenger | 16:53 |
| pitti | cjwatson: oh, except that jockey is currently too dumb to do that; but well, we'll need a jockey SRU anyway to add the -modaliases dependency, so it wouldn't actually help | 16:53 |

| stefanlsd | heh. not the best description :) | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | mpt: the shared /home thing really is important, and is hard for the software to know about | 16:54 |
| mvo | pitti: right, that needs to be in too, maybe mpt can come up with a more positive wording for it | 16:57 |
| mpt | ok, so it's not a new improved logout button, there is no longer a logout button... | 16:57 |
| pitti | there is, it just became less useful | 16:57 |
| mpt | There is? Why? What does it do? | 16:58 |
| dholbach | stefanlsd: updated the bug | 16:59 |
| dholbach | stefanlsd: nothing life-threatening | 16:59 |
| stefanlsd | dholbach, cant log into my X | 17:00 |
| dholbach | stefanlsd: I don't think that's related | 17:00 |
| seb128 | mpt: why? because upstream has applets to open the 2 dialogs they use | 17:01 |
| mpt | I don't understand | 17:01 |
| mpt | Ted just told me that the logout button is not an applet, it's compiled into the panel | 17:02 |
| ogra | yep | 17:02 |
| mpt | so if we're removing it from the Intrepid version of the panel | 17:02 |
| mpt | then we don't need to change anyone's configuration at all, it just won't appear in Intrepid. | 17:02 |
| bluefoxicy | Hey guys | 17:02 |
| bluefoxicy | Scott Kaplan is willing to give a statement releasing the Wilson-Kaplan algorithm implementations as LGPL | 17:03 |
| seb128 | mpt: we don't want to remove the upstream code because it's creating divergence and some upstream guys like the upstream way and would be complaining if we were doing that in ubuntu | 17:03 |
| bluefoxicy | these work much better than LZO for compressed memory | 17:03 |
| ogra | mpt, and what would provide the logout button then ? note that fusa breaks in real multiuser setups like ltsp, most ltsp users i know deliberately remove fusa | 17:03 |
| seb128 | mpt: we don't use it but the code is still there | 17:04 |
| mpt | ogra, the design is that Log Out, Shut Down etc are in the status menu *instead of* a Log Out button. | 17:04 |
| mpt | So asking what the Log Out button is a non-sequitur. | 17:04 |
| mpt | What the Log Out button should do, rather. | 17:04 |
| ogra | indeed | 17:05 |
| mpt | seb128, so why don't those upstream guys download and install the upstream version of gnome-panel instead? | 17:06 |
| mpt | If they didn't say anything when Ted posted about our design originally, why are they trying to mess it up now? | 17:07 |
| seb128 | mpt: are you suggesting we want to discourage upstream hackers to use ubuntu? | 17:07 |
| mpt | seb128, no, I just don't understand what they're proposing. | 17:07 |
| seb128 | mpt: there is a miscommunication there, that has nothing to do on the design, we just keep the upstream code available but don't use it | 17:07 |
| mpt | I assume they're not proposing that Ubuntu offer two different panel items for logging out. | 17:08 |
| seb128 | mpt: upstream doesn't use any session or user switching on their gnome-panel layout | 17:08 |
| seb128 | mpt: they don't suggest anything for ubuntu | 17:08 |
| mvo | even if we compile out the logout button we still need to think about setups without the fusa applet and have a way to auto add it there | 17:08 |
| seb128 | mpt: the green man launcher is an upstream object though | 17:08 |
| mvo | e.g. I don't have fusa on my laptop and would be suprised if my logout button disappers | 17:08 |
| mpt | mvo, sure, but that's what the upgrade script does, right? | 17:09 |
| mpt | it ensures that the menu is there | 17:09 |
| seb128 | mpt: the issue there is upgrade, not new installs | 17:09 |
| seb128 | mpt: right, because we have been abusing the upstream object before to open a custom ubuntu session dialog | 17:09 |
| seb128 | mpt: now we dropped this session dialog so the object opens the upstream dialog | 17:09 |
| seb128 | mpt: we need to figure what to do what the object is in the configuration before upgrade | 17:10 |
| seb128 | mpt: is that clear? | 17:10 |
| mpt | seb128, not show it when running Intrepid. | 17:11 |
| wtgee | wow, the latest round of updates absolutely borked my comp | 17:12 |
| mpt | (But still show it if, for example, using the same home folder with 8.04 or another distribution.) | 17:12 |
| wtgee | Basically it killed all of gnome | 17:12 |

| mvo | mpt: sure, give me a sec, I can make a screenshot | 17:14 |

| mvo | mpt: the tools we have to show this can't handle inline images currently. sorry for this | 17:22 |
| mpt | mvo, oh, what did you mean by including illustrations? | 17:23 |
| mvo | mpt: I thought you wanted a illustration about what it looks like currently :) | 17:23 |
| mpt | ahhh | 17:23 |
| mpt | :-) | 17:23 |
| tseliot | it won't look as good as in the screen shot but it's doable with debconf | 17:23 |
| mpt | mvo, can you at least change the text? "Run this action now" is a bit dire | 17:24 |
| mpt | the button text, I mean | 17:24 |
| mpt | (and what does "Close" do?) | 17:24 |
| mvo | mpt: that needs code changes, but it can be done. | 17:24 |

| Keybuk | bryce: why is the maximum number so low? | 17:37 |
| Keybuk | xlsclients says I have 28 (if I open one more xtern, I can't run xlsclients) | 17:37 |
| kees | Keybuk: the number is 256; strange that you've hit it so quickly. I wonder why xlsclients is lying to you so hard. | 17:38 |
| bryce | Keybuk: I don't remember what the exact number is but it's considerably larger than that | 17:38 |

| Keybuk | I was just looking at 263211 | 17:39 |

| mathiaz | mvo: great - thanks. | 17:39 |

| Keybuk | Yes, I've been doing some debugging too, and in my setup gnome-screensaver is the culprit as well. Specifically it calls gnome_bg_create_pixmap() (from libgnome-desktop) with root == TRUE, which ends up creating a new connection to the X server, calling XSetCloseDownMode() to change to RetainPermanent, and then disconnecting. And in that case the X server keeps the client data structures around forever. | 17:40 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: I'd like to raise this as Release Critical ? | 17:41 |
| kees | Keybuk: ewwww | 17:41 |
| slangasek | there's a maximum-client limit for X? | 17:42 |
| slangasek | eew? | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: I've approved the bug nomination | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | eww> seconded, I never knew that | 17:42 |
| Keybuk | I guess in the 70s you couldn't fit 256 windows in memory :P | 17:43 |
| Keybuk | of course, the fact gnome-screensaver is consuming them all after just a day or so is doubleplusbadw | 17:43 |
| kees | slangasek: I meant by "eww" in response to the leak, not the rc-request. :) | 17:43 |
| mathiaz | what's the state of autopkgtest? Is this still run? | 17:44 |
| Keybuk | bryce: I don't suppose there's a way to tell X to free a client? :p | 17:45 |
| persia | mathiaz, It hadn't been run at the time of the last QA Team meeting. heno was looking into scheduling a run. | 17:47 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: perhaps it's specific to your screensaver choice? | 17:48 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: I'm using the F-Spot Photos screensaver iirc | 17:48 |
| slangasek | I have a theory | 17:49 |
| slangasek | :-) | 17:49 |
| mathiaz | persia: ok - the dovecot package has some tests. But the ones in qa-regression-testing are newer/better. So I was wondering if the debian/tests/ could just be dropped from the package. | 17:50 |
| bryce | Keybuk: not sure. I'd use pkill myself ;-) | 17:50 |
| Keybuk | bryce: there's no process for these clients | 17:50 |
| persia | mathiaz, I'd rather not drop debian/tests, just because I'm a believer in robust QA, with many different ways of testing stuff. On the other hand, if those tests are broken... | 17:50 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: I just set the screensaver to blank screen, and activated it a bunch of times | 17:50 |
| Keybuk | that seems to be still exhausting the clients | 17:51 |
| mathiaz | persia: well - they're not broken AFAICT. | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: all other things being equal, it's a better model to have tests in the packages themselves than in some separate repository (that has to be kept in sync as things change, etc.) | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: so I think we should update debian/tests/ rather than removing it | 17:51 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: kees: ^^? | 17:52 |
| mathiaz | does the current tests in q-r-t work with autopkgtests? | 17:52 |
| kees | afaik, there is nothing actually _running_ the tests in debian/tests/, so it doesn't do any good there | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | kees: that would just require starting up autopkgtest again | 17:52 |
| kees | they're not build-time tests, they're run-time tests, that need all sort of other deps to run, etc | 17:53 |
| kees | cjwatson: right -- that's the main question I think -- is autopkgtest operational? | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | kees: heno would know; I don't see an obvious reason why it shouldn't be | 17:53 |
| mathiaz | kees: if autopkgtest is operational should the tests/ in the package be updated to match the one in q-r-t? | 17:54 |
| jdstrand | and, I'd have to check for dovecot specifically, many tests in q-r-t are destructive, and not necessarily written for running outside of a chroot/vm | 17:54 |
| mathiaz | kees: or the tests be moved from q-r-t to debian/tests/ ? | 17:54 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: I think that's the environmet autopktest is designed for | 17:55 |
| kees | mathiaz: yes, until there is a strong censensus about how autopkgtest works, I want all the q-r-t tests in one place: the bzr repo. | 17:55 |
| * jdstrand hasn't used autopkgtest yet | 17:55 | |
| kees | mathiaz: the security team uses them for testing things all the way back to dapper, so i'm against splitting stuff out into separate packages. | 17:55 |
| Keybuk | bryce, slangasek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56045/ | 17:57 |
| Keybuk | gnome-screensaver seems to consume 2 clients every activation | 17:57 |
| Keybuk | on my laptop it seems to consume 1 | 17:58 |
| kees | Keybuk: yeah, confirmed, I see 1 per activiation. | 17:58 |
| Keybuk | obvious difference there might be that my desktop has two monitors, so it simply consuming clients twice as fast | 17:58 |
| cody-somerville | Keybuk, hey, same story here | 17:59 |
| * cody-somerville has two monitors. | 17:59 | |
| Keybuk | cody-somerville: have you hit a problem recently of apps just failing to start or open windows? | 18:01 |
| cody-somerville | Keybuk, yes. It says too many clients or something | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | kees: what's wrong with keeping both? | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | kees: as persia said, testing often benefits from multiple approaches | 18:02 |
| mathiaz | kees: ok - so it may be useful to teach autopkgtest about the existance of q-r-t. | 18:02 |
| Keybuk | bryce: so is there any way to kill things like the following? | 18:02 |
| superm1 | Keybuk, I just hit that situation an hour or two ago too | 18:02 |
| Keybuk | 44 - <unknown> ( PID: ? ): | 18:02 |
| Keybuk | res_base : ox2800000 | 18:02 |
| Keybuk | res_mask : ox1fffff | 18:02 |
| kees | cjwatson: I don't mind keeping both as long as the bzr tree is the primary. | 18:02 |
| superm1 | (i've got two monitors here) - so it did happen pretty quick | 18:02 |
| Keybuk | superm1: how many monitors do you have? :) | 18:03 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: in the case of dovecot, I'd be tempted to just merge the tests from q-r-t in debian/tests/. | 18:03 |
| Keybuk | I guess those with one have 200 screensaver activations before they get DoS'd | 18:03 |
| Keybuk | which is slightly longer than the kernel team take to upload a new kernel right now :p | 18:03 |
| Keybuk | those ricers amongst us with two only have 100 screensaver activations, so get more suck and fail | 18:03 |
| superm1 | i've been S3'ing this laptop the last few nights and opting to not do kernel reboots, so that explains things :) | 18:03 |
| persia | kees, Running autopkgtest takes a lot of resources. We typically only do one or two runs per development cycle. This one got missed due to various issues, but we'll try to get it run before release. | 18:04 |
| jdstrand | mathiaz: if you are going to do that, also consider test-dovecot.py | 18:04 |
| jdstrand | mathiaz: oh wait, that is 'general'. nm | 18:05 |
| jdstrand | (though it would all have to be updated it seems) | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: so, JeOS ... | 18:06 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: yes - so I don't know if a new option should be created or existing ones be updated. | 18:07 |

| Keybuk | seb128: yes, that's linked on the bug | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | I think it's important to have a minimal install option that isn't just for VMs | 18:07 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: my goal here is to have a way to boot the -server iso and get a sytem with -virtual and -minimal installed. | 18:07 |
| bryce | Keybuk: let me ask around. | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | I am OK with there also being a minimal install option for VMs | 18:07 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: aggreed. Could CLI be used for that ? | 18:07 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: ah ok, I just read that you mentionned the issue, I didn't know that you knew about the bug ;-) | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: "Install a command-line system" is only present on non-server CDs, because it is a daft question to ask on a CD where the default install gives you a command line | 18:08 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: ok - so cli.seed is just for the alternate cd. | 18:09 |
| cjwatson | why not just "Install a minimal system" and "Install a minimal virtual machine" | 18:09 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: WFM. | 18:09 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: turning off standard is a bit harder | 18:10 |
| Keybuk | it appears this code is unchanged since its merge into libgnome-desktop | 18:10 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: how was this done in Hardy JeOS ? | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: tasksel, by design, generally tries to keep standard installed. Can we leave it there for "Install a minimal system"? | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: HACK OF DEATH | 18:10 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: ok - and it would be too late in the release cycle to implement a similar hack for intrepid? | 18:11 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: actually, I'm not sure how it was done | 18:11 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: don't wanna | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: oh, we did it by having a separate CD that didn't include standard | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: so that won't work when merged into the server CD. It sucked as an approach anyway | 18:12 |
| persia | Doing it right would mean fiddling with debootstrap, wouldn't it? | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | no, why? | 18:13 |
| Keybuk | *sigh* | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | debootstrap doesn't install standard | 18:13 |
| Keybuk | ok, this wasn't a one-liner that introduced this | 18:13 |
| persia | Oh. Hm. | 18:13 |
| Keybuk | these gnome-screensaver functions didn't even exist in hardy | 18:13 |

| cjwatson | mathiaz: I'll poke tasksel to export a new interface to make this work | 18:15 |
| ogra | Keybuk, manually removed it ? it was pulled in until recently | 18:15 |
| Keybuk | ogra: no, only -data and -glx are installed | 18:15 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: is this something that can be implemented for intrepid? | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: yes | 18:15 |
| ogra | Keybuk, ah, lucky you ... u-m just removed it for me right now | 18:16 |
| ogra | i had it since upgrading | 18:16 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: great. I'll work on adding the -virtual kernel packages to the server-ship seed. | 18:16 |
| Keybuk | u-m may have removed it for me when I upgraded to Intrepid last week? | 18:16 |
| ogra | it didnt with yesterdays run for me | 18:16 |
| ogra | the fix must be new | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: "work on"? is it hard? :) | 18:16 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: oh no. It just needs to be done :D | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: remove the jeos seed while you're at it | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: is this i386 only, or amd64 too? | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | linux-virtual | 2.6.27.6.7 | intrepid/universe | amd64, i386 | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | apparently both. the jeos seed only had it for i386 | 18:17 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: right. | 18:18 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: is there a bug number for this? | 18:18 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: no. Should I file one? | 18:19 |
| cjwatson | no need, was just wondering | 18:19 |
| ogra | wow, cool ... | 18:21 |

| NCommander | Keybuk, talking about monotone/git? | 19:59 |
| NCommander | ScottK, I looked at openexr | 20:00 |
| NCommander | ScottK, its not pretty (and not a problem with openexr itself) | 20:00 |
| ScottK | NCommander: I saw debian disabled the test suite on some archs. | 20:01 |
| NCommander | ScottK, the issue is threading | 20:01 |
| NCommander | Something in glibc broke on 2.8 that causes threads in some situations it seems to not properly lock and respect mutexs | 20:01 |
| * NCommander had a similar issue with glib and trying to compile it | 20:01 | |
| NCommander | It *might* just be my HPPA box, but looking very closely at the test results, it works fine without threads, or threads that aren't working together | 20:02 |
| NCommander | ScottK, do you just want to kill the test suite since the issue isn't with openexr specifically? (the test failures go away on glibc 2.7) | 20:03 |
| ScottK | NCommander: It seems a popular solution, but I'm not qualified to judge. | 20:04 |
| * ScottK summons the spirit of lamont for an opinion. | 20:04 | |
| NCommander | ScottK, have you prepared the necessary sacrifices? | 20:05 |
| ScottK | NCommander: I gave a user Postfix advice on #ubuntu-server this morning. | 20:05 |

| ScottK | Well I think friends don't let their friends use Sendmail. | 20:07 |
| persia | Erm. sendmail isn't evil, it just wants to be placated before it will play nice. | 20:07 |

| stgraber | slangasek: I'm test building, I'll then file a bug for it | 20:10 |
| slangasek | stgraber: is this just fixing the one bug? | 20:11 |
| slangasek | if so, please just upload | 20:11 |
| NCommander | persia, you must LIKE pulling teeth. Sendmail's config format makes my brain hurt (its like COBOL. THere is only one sendmail config and its edited and modified millions of times) | 20:12 |
| stgraber | slangasek: 3 regressions fix, one bug fix and two small upstream changes (and a mythbuntu packaging fix): http://paste.ubuntu.com/56084/ | 20:13 |
| slangasek | stgraber: what do you mean by "pre-FF regression", exactly? "regression that happened before FF", "regression in the current version relative to the version present at FF"...? | 20:14 |
| stgraber | slangasek: something that was fixed before FF but we broke with the last upload | 20:14 |
| slangasek | ok | 20:14 |
| stgraber | basically these changes were done in .diff.gz and didn't get upstream so were missing in the last upload | 20:15 |
| slangasek | tsk | 20:15 |
| slangasek | stgraber: from the changelog alone I can't say for sure "this shouldn't need a freeze exception", so please go ahead and file a bug if you believe that's best | 20:15 |
| ndube | hello all | 20:16 |
| ndube | i am currently attempting to install 8.10 beta from the alt cd | 20:16 |
| ndube | The installer does not see any of my HD if I have more than one plugged in. If I have only one HD plugged in, the installer see's it fine. Any Ideas? | 20:16 |
| stgraber | slangasek: ok, will file a bug and attach the diff. | 20:17 |
| _Zeus_ | !intrepid | ndube | 20:18 |
| ubottu | ndube: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu | 20:18 |
| ndube | sorry, wrong irc | 20:18 |
| slangasek | pitti: I don't see a coreutils SRU in the queue | 20:23 |
| stgraber | slangasek: bug 281415 | 20:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 281415 in ltsp "[UVFe] ltsp (5.1.25 -> 5.1.27)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/281415 | 20:24 |
| NCommander | ScottK, what's your interest in openexr anyway? | 20:32 |
| ScottK | NCommander: It's a broken build-dep of kde4libs so I need it to build before I can start to get KDE4 building again on hppa. | 20:42 |
| james_w | kees: hey, do you have hardware to test these patches? | 20:44 |
| lamont | ScottK: sup? | 20:45 |
| ScottK | lamont: openexr is FTBFS on hppa. NCommander says it's broken threading stuff. | 20:46 |
| ScottK | lamont: So it looks like Debian gave up on the openexr test suite on several archs and so the question is would that be reasonable for hppa. | 20:46 |
| * ScottK looks at NCommander for details on his threading findings. | 20:47 | |
| lamont | it's kde... :-) | 20:47 |
| NCommander | lamont, the test suite works fine until it tries to use multiple threads to write out files | 20:47 |
| NCommander | lamont, probably some mutex fun. I suspect its a glibc problem since it doesn't happen with glibc 2.7, nor does this same behavior manifest on any other architecture where the test suite is run | 20:47 |
| ScottK | lamont: Yeah, I'm trying to do my bit to help out ports and get KDE built on hppa. | 20:47 |
| NCommander | lamont, I did manage to get a HPPA box from HP with Ubuntu, so I'm helping with porting issues as well ;-) | 20:48 |
| kees | james_w: yuppers | 20:49 |
| kees | james_w: that's why I originally started the thread on u-devel. I wanted to turn "ack, my webcam isn't working" into something constructive. :) | 20:50 |
| james_w | kees: great, I'll defer to the person who is actually able to test them | 20:50 |
| kees | james_w: that's why I started with xawtv: it's small and easy to test. | 20:50 |
| james_w | heh :-) | 20:50 |
| directhex | NCommander, porting work? having fun, i hope? :p | 20:50 |
| lamont | NCommander: NPTL/hppa haz issues | 20:51 |
| NCommander | lamont, that's putting it mildly. It would have been nice if they stayed with linuxthreads until the NPTL bugs were ironed out | 20:51 |
| directhex | NCommander, feel free to fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=240272 :) | 20:51 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 240272 in mono "mono_0.30.2-1(hppa/unstable): FTBFS: needs porting work for hppa" [Serious,Open] | 20:51 |
| NCommander | mono is in PAS | 20:51 |
| NCommander | (although there was a WIP port for hppa at some point) | 20:52 |
| directhex | PAS? | 20:52 |
| NCommander | Packages-arch-specific | 20:52 |
| directhex | man, 0.30.2? that bug be OLD | 20:52 |
| NCommander | directhex, and something like that has to be done in upstream, since porting mono requires writing a new HAL layer | 20:52 |
| NCommander | Oh | 20:52 |
| NCommander | wait | 20:52 |
| NCommander | O_o; | 20:52 |
| NCommander | Why do we need such an antique?! | 20:52 |
| * NCommander was thinking 1.32 or something | 20:52 | |
| directhex | i don't know if anyone's tested since | 20:53 |
| directhex | i was just working on mono bugs today. 6 debian bugs should be closed within hours, and then i'll do a merge | 20:54 |
| lamont | NCommander: there was a push to move all of ubuntu to NPTL with edgy... that'd be why there's no edgy/hppa or feisty/hppa | 20:54 |
| NCommander | lamont, even the debian dudes weren't that crazy, NPTL is only just available with lenny, and I didn't think they were making the transition until squeeze | 20:55 |
| NCommander | I knew there were threading issues with NPTL/hppa, but I didn't realize they were THAT ba | 20:55 |
| lamont | they knew they could make the transition partially because ubuntu had already | 20:56 |
| lamont | well, it's probably just one bug. :-( | 20:56 |
| lamont | OTOH, it seems to be in a very popular place, whereever it is | 20:56 |
| NCommander | lamont, pthread_join() | 20:57 |
| NCommander | I was able to get a consistent hang when joining thread without fail | 20:57 |
| * NCommander notes that didn't happen on the buildds | 20:57 | |
| lamont | see: popular | 20:57 |
| directhex | popular. on hppa? humour! | 20:59 |
| lamont | directhex: if all 4 of us use it, it's ubiquitous. | 20:59 |
| NCommander | lamont, I also got an ia64 box ;-) | 21:00 |
| NCommander | (there is a port that see absolutely no love at all) | 21:00 |
| directhex | lamont, i was about to ask if you'd run an unofficial hardy buildd on it for me to use for my third party repo, then i remembered the past few minutes & what's on my repo... | 21:00 |
| directhex | NCommander, i love itanium! | 21:00 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: I've uploaded the unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates installer integration | 21:00 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: awesome ! thanks :) | 21:01 |
| * NCommander drops his RS/6000 on directhex | 21:01 | |
| NCommander | I can understand mono | 21:01 |
| NCommander | But ia64 is the end result if i386 raped powerpc, and powerpc didn't get an abortion. | 21:02 |
| directhex | jms@orac:~> mono --version | grep Arch | 21:02 |
| directhex | Architecture: ia64 | 21:02 |
| directhex | :) | 21:02 |
| lamont | directhex: give me xen on hppa with a commitment and history of support, and I'll get you a an hppa ppa buildd | 21:02 |
| directhex | lamont, yeah, about that... :/ | 21:03 |
| lamont | NCommander: ia64 is the result of the hppa engineers meeting with intel engineers and coming up with what hp's engineers thought hppa should have been originally | 21:03 |
| NCommander | lamont, I dunno, the one look I took at the ia64 instruction set made me think of my x86 ASM book | 21:04 |
| directhex | jms@orac:~> grep -c IA-64 /proc/cpuinfo | 21:04 |
| directhex | 256 | 21:04 |
| NCommander | The real problem with that architecture is the mythical compilers that can optimize amazingly well | 21:04 |
| directhex | jms@orac:~> icc --version | head -1 | 21:04 |
| directhex | icc (ICC) 10.1 20080312 | 21:04 |
| NCommander | directhex, obviously your not too familar with the long development history of the ia64 architecture ;-) | 21:05 |
| * lamont kinda lived it | 21:06 | |
| directhex | NCommander, i'm aware of performance benchmarks, and i know this box did to the competition what spielberg/lucas did to indianna jones | 21:06 |
| NCommander | raped and killed it? | 21:06 |
| lamont | directhex: originally or lately? | 21:06 |
| NCommander | oh wait, that was star wars | 21:06 |
| directhex | lamont, lately | 21:06 |
| directhex | NCommander, no, indy too | 21:06 |
| NCommander | I could watch the 4th one without puking | 21:07 |
| NCommander | lamont, BTW, the test suite on HPPA is nice and pretty with glibc | 21:07 |
| lamont | ok | 21:08 |
| NCommander | I can see why its disabled by default | 21:09 |
| persia | Wait, the *gcc* testsuite is disabled by default on hppa? How can that be safe? | 21:11 |
| NCommander | persia, glibc | 21:11 |
| NCommander | persia, and yes it is | 21:11 |
| NCommander | and no it isn't. | 21:11 |
| persia | Err, yes, but even so. | 21:11 |
| persia | Oh, good. | 21:11 |
| NCommander | persia, glibc FTBFS during its test suite | 21:11 |
| persia | That's better. | 21:11 |
| NCommander | (well, technically it hung, but) | 21:11 |
| slytherin | hi, can anyone please tell me why cups-pdf was moved to universe in intrepid? | 21:11 |
| directhex | slytherin, a deal with microsoft means ubuntu now only supports the microsoft XPS format instead of PDF! | 21:12 |
| slytherin | directhex: what deal, no one asked me before making it. :-P | 21:13 |
| directhex | slytherin, sorry, there was beer, and y'know... | 21:13 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: do you have a reference as to why ruby1.9 is in main? I can't seem to find one, and http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ seems to consider 1.9 'Developer version (experimental)' | 21:14 |
| slangasek | jdstrand: only by traversing germinate output | 21:15 |
| NCommander | directhex, you remind me of Miguel de Icaza | 21:15 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: that should be something I can do, no? (I don't know how, but can learn) | 21:15 |
| directhex | NCommander, miguel's a nice guy. with me, you need to filter through a few layers of sarcasm to see the point of what i'm saying. | 21:16 |
| * NCommander watches his sarcasm meter explode | 21:16 | |
| slangasek | jdstrand: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.intrepid/all , look for ruby1.9 | 21:16 |
| slangasek | looks like we blame rrdtool | 21:17 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: thanks | 21:17 |
| directhex | NCommander, i'm currently fighting the most crack-smoking example of debian bickering i could have imagined. it's making me tetchy | 21:18 |
| slytherin | directhex: still dealing with the moonlight ITP? | 21:20 |
| directhex | slytherin, the package is ready & functional in its current form (and designed for syncability), but we're leaving it a little for the bunfight over removing anything tangentially related to a software patent somewhere in the world from debian | 21:22 |
| directhex | ii libmoon0 0.8.1+dfsg-1 open source clone of Microsoft Silverlight | 21:23 |
| NCommander | didrocks, link? | 21:24 |
| NCommander | oh, moonlight? | 21:24 |
| NCommander | Yeah well, Debian is dyin. Netcraft confirms it */meme* | 21:24 |
| directhex | NCommander, netcraft? hells, that's it then :| | 21:25 |
| directhex | NCommander, first they came for BSD... | 21:25 |
| NCommander | then Debian | 21:25 |
| NCommander | Then Vista | 21:25 |
| NCommander | :-/ | 21:25 |
| persia | Debian is *so* not dying. Debian is more lively and dynamic now than in some time. | 21:25 |
| directhex | NCommander, explain the "BSD is dying" meme to persia | 21:25 |
| * NCommander uses his favor you owed me on fixing the mono segfaults on this | 21:26 | |
| NCommander | directhex, please explain the "BSD is dying" meme to persia ;-) | 21:26 |
| stgraber | slangasek: I just updated the bug to include a new upstream including one more bugfix (and no additional feature this time :)) | 21:26 |
| directhex | persia, slashdot is full of links which are all pretty much like the following: http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=228247&cid=18495137 | 21:26 |
| NCommander | Neat, I didn't even have to sudo it! | 21:26 |
| directhex | persia, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot#Culture | 21:27 |
| directhex | persia, "netcraft confirms * is dying" is a meme. | 21:27 |
| NCommander | persia, generally speaking, when Something is Dying. Netcraft confirms it, it means that pretty much the opposite is true | 21:27 |
| * NCommander notes Lenny is pretty kick ass. Now only if they would release it ;-) | 21:27 | |
| directhex | NCommander, if the wingnuts actually manage to get their "remove all patent-encumbered software of any kind from the archive" GR approved... | 21:28 |
| NCommander | Uh | 21:28 |
| NCommander | So there goes FAT32 support | 21:28 |
| directhex | and double clicking. and gecko. | 21:29 |
| NCommander | Booting off a CD, JFS2 (IBM did release that one to the community though) | 21:29 |
| ScottK | directhex: If they do that, there won't be any left. | 21:29 |
| NCommander | And it still won't be free to the FSF :-) | 21:29 |
| directhex | NCommander, releasing things to the community is a trap. don't you know? | 21:29 |
| NCommander | ScottK, well, thats the current discussion on d-devel | 21:29 |
| ScottK | Yeah. | 21:29 |
| directhex | NCommander, fsf's gobuntu installs mono by default :) | 21:29 |
| bytor4232 | Should startupmanager be included as a base (k/x)ubuntu install? It seems like a very useful package. | 21:29 |
| * NCommander notes the FSF's crack pipe has to have some serious good **** in it for them to consider Debian non-free | 21:30 | |
| directhex | NCommander, firmware blobs! and fonts! | 21:30 |
| NCommander | Not in Debian | 21:30 |
| NCommander | Both are in non-free | 21:30 |
| NCommander | That's why my laptop runs Ubuntu | 21:30 |
| jcristau | directhex: there's no such GR... | 21:30 |
| directhex | jcristau, not yet. read your d-devel. | 21:30 |
| jcristau | i did. i ^Red that thread | 21:31 |
| jcristau | :) | 21:31 |
| NCommander | directhex, I personally think the FSF got pissed since Debian declares GDFL non-free | 21:31 |
| slytherin | NCommander: directhex: the discussion is becoming off-topic here. :-) | 21:31 |
| directhex | slytherin, sorry | 21:31 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: disputes between the FSF and Debian over freeness go back about a decade before that | 21:31 |
| cjwatson | (I was already typing, figured I'd finish ...) | 21:32 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, point retracted :-) | 21:32 |
| Laney | Which VNC server is enabled by the Prefs->Remote Desktop applet? I'd like to enable it from the commandline | 21:32 |
| slytherin | Laney: vino | 21:33 |
| slangasek | directhex: um, there's no GR on the table for removing "all patent-encumbered software" | 21:34 |
| Laney | slytherin: Ah, I thought that was the client. Thanks | 21:34 |
| slangasek | and why would you think such a GR would pass, anyway? | 21:34 |
| directhex | slangasek, yet. and because TEH PATENTZ! | 21:34 |
| slytherin | Laney: client is vinagre | 21:35 |
| Laney | Just found that out ;) | 21:35 |
| slangasek | directhex: let me rephrase. "why do you hold such a low opinion of the Debian community that you think such an insane GR would pass?" :P | 21:35 |
| directhex | slangasek, i don't, i like to mock | 21:35 |
| directhex | slangasek, look at it this way. on the scale of hypocrisy, what's the single worst package you could be maintainer for if you were arguing that a browser plugin cloning a non-free one, which doesn't support all sites & is therefore worthless, shouldn't be permitted into the archive? | 21:36 |
| slangasek | directhex: SIGVERB grammar overflow | 21:37 |
| * slangasek grows the stack and manages to parse, but still doesn't know the answer | 21:38 | |
| directhex | slangasek, guy arguing that moonlight should be forbidden from entering the debian archive. package maintainer. argues that it clones a closed browser plugin (which is Bad(tm)) and doesn't work on all sites ever (and is therefore worthless). which is the most facepalm-worthy package he could maintain? | 21:38 |
| persia | flashflugin-nonfree? | 21:38 |
| slangasek | ruby? | 21:38 |
| directhex | persia, gnash. but close. | 21:39 |
| persia | Could someone please give-back compiz-fusion-plugins-extra on lpia ? | 22:08 |
| ScottK | persia: Done | 22:12 |
| persia | ScottK, Thank you. | 22:13 |
| ScottK | No problem. | 22:13 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Did you come to any conclusion about openexr? | 22:14 |
| slytherin | any archive admins around? | 22:15 |
| persia | slytherin, Generally, you'll do better to request the thing you want, rather than scaring them away like that :) | 22:16 |
| slytherin | :-) | 22:16 |
| slytherin | persia: nothing new, same old move to universe bugs. :-) | 22:17 |
| wgrant | superm1: I'm fairly sure it won't - I know exactly why one of the bugs happens, and the other one is probably a kernel bug. | 23:23 |
| superm1 | wgrant, did you already punt it by rtg? | 23:23 |
| wgrant | superm1: I haven't, but I will when I see him. | 23:24 |
| wgrant | superm1: The lots and lots of keypresses seem to be caused by X never seeing the key released, thus invoking key repeat. | 23:24 |
| wgrant | And I was advised it was probably a kernel bug. | 23:25 |
| superm1 | wgrant, OK, well if you don't get a chance to at some point or get busy with something else, leave the notes on a bug and at least point me at it and I'll bring it up as I talk to rtg weekly | 23:25 |
| ScottK | I can tell OpenOffice.org has caught up with MS Office. OOO Writer's autocorrect feature is really annoying me. | 23:29 |
| wgrant | superm1: Kernel freeze is unfortunately close :( | 23:31 |
| wgrant | When is your next talk with him? | 23:31 |
| superm1 | thur | 23:32 |
| superm1 | so probably if you talk to him sooner, that's better | 23:32 |
| wgrant | OK, I'll poke him when I see him. | 23:32 |
| wgrant | Assuming he is the right person.. | 23:32 |
| superm1 | well for reproducing on dell hardware he should be | 23:33 |
| superm1 | he has most interesting platforms | 23:33 |
| wgrant | Ah, good. | 23:33 |
| wgrant | Heh. | 23:33 |
| ScottK | superm1: Any luck on solid-bluetooth yet? | 23:35 |
| superm1 | ScottK, the API changes are rather large. I'm not sure i'll be able to make enough intelligent changes in a timely fashion. it would really be a task better for someone more familiar with solid | 23:36 |
| superm1 | ScottK, I'll keep futzing, but I do have other tasks i'm working on concurrently | 23:36 |
| ScottK | superm1: I get the impression that upstream isn't excited about dealing with it at the moment. Unfortunately we don't have anyone on the KDE side that understands the API changes. | 23:37 |
| ScottK | superm1: Perhaps if we could find someone who understands solid to pair your with, between the two of you, you could get to something more than what we have now? | 23:37 |
| superm1 | ScottK, well I'm catching up on all the API changes too, but that would probably be useful. | 23:38 |
| superm1 | ScottK, what i'm wondering is what the F10 folks are planning on doing about this | 23:38 |
| superm1 | ScottK, given they're still broke... | 23:38 |
| ScottK | I'm not sure they're aware. | 23:38 |
| ScottK | The one Fedora KDE person that hangs out with us didn't know of problems. | 23:39 |
| ScottK | superm1: Would you consider idling in #kubuntu-devel and let's see who turns up? | 23:41 |
| superm1 | sure | 23:41 |
| emgent | heya | 23:48 |
