Nafalloslangasek: hi :-)00:09
slangasekNafallo: hey-o00:10
Nafalloslangasek: I haz release question :-)00:10
slangasekI haz release answers!00:11
Nafalloslangasek: since we are pushing this 3G thing quite a lot in the release notes, would a small update to hal-info be able to make it into the archive before final is made?00:11
slangasekit has a chance, at least00:12
Nafallobasically adding four usb device ids and have support for four popular nokia phones.00:12
Nafallotheir flagship N96 being one of them. that one is on every damn advertisement incl. mobiles in the UK right now :-)00:12
Nafalloso support OOTB would be handy :-)00:13
Nafalloslangasek: what do you think. should I prep a debdiff for it? :-)00:14
slangasekNafallo: sure00:15
Nafalloslangasek: perfect. I'll go to work right now with it :-)00:15
superm1Nafallo, while you're at it, if hal-info is being uploaded, squeeze 288888 in too maybe?00:15
superm1bug 288888 that is00:16

superm1i already got it landed upstream00:16
* Nafallo looks00:16
wgrantI'd imagine that hal-info will be getting a bit of SRUing.00:16
Nafallowgrant: we should support as much as possible, and if each new device comes of a cost of 5 character whitelisting I can't see a reason not too include something that cheap.00:18
wgrantNafallo: Yep.00:18
superm1does hal have facilities for pulling fdi files from /etc too?  I'm thinking maybe a session about discussing a tool for generating an FDI file for testing purposes, and then filing a bug to get it added if it works properly00:20
wgrantsuperm1: /etc/hal/fdi/policy00:20
wgrantYou can drop whatever you want in there.00:20
wgrantI think I've altered all wiki docs to put things there rather than /usr.00:20
superm1wgrant, yup that'd be exactly what I was thinking.  I'll think more about this type of tool and what would be involved then00:21

ubottuLaunchpad bug 284961 in network-manager "Option 3G USB Modem (Gio225) not recognized, solution included" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28496100:55
Nafalloslangasek: worth adding and hoping for testers before we release?00:56
slangasekNafallo: adding to what package?  The bug seems to be filed against two packages00:57
Nafalloslangasek: hal-info00:57
Nafalloslangasek: basically get it recognised as a modem and not support mode switching.00:57
slangasek"not support mode switching"? what does that mean?00:58
calcslangasek: it switches between mass storage and modem (aiui?)00:58
calci vaguely recall arne talking about them at uds00:58
slangasekand we're going to include an .fdi file that prohibits using the device in the other mode?00:59
calcthe mass storage side has the windows driver in it, iirc00:59
slangasekwell, are we sure of that?00:59
calci'm not... ask arne :)00:59
slangasekthis doesn't sound like an obvious regression-free change to me00:59
* calc reading bug now00:59
slangasekNafallo: if you're not confident in the correctness of the fix per se, then please leave it for SRU01:00
calcslangasek: i'd ask arne to review that bug01:00

Nafallothree bugs less \o/01:02
Nafalloand four nokias and a dell card supported :-)01:03
asacright, we shouldnt try to tackle modeswitch devices right before release ;) ... in future drivers should support that properly. only solutions available are hacky and not suitable for mass-rollout01:03
persiaI have two modeswitch devices : hardlocking in either mode would be very annoying.01:05

NCommanderpersia, I can confirm the cegui-mk4 maintainer has no clue what they are doing04:17
NCommanderpersia, SILLY still isn't compiled in the latest upstream.04:17
NCommander^package04:17
persiaNCommander, You're saying it's complex enough that you think it needs an SRU rather than a quickfix?04:17
NCommanderUnless i'm mistaken04:18
NCommanderThis is backports realm because we need a new library in intrepid04:18
* NCommander is still making sure the missing codec actually isn't packaged04:18
persiaNCommander, Thanks for looking.  Please comment at http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/bugs/rcbugs/04:18
NCommanderoh04:18
NCommanderpersia, there is a second work around04:18
NCommanderHold on04:19
NCommanderAs long as a PNG supported backend is compiled04:19
NCommandersmc can be made to work04:19
NCommanderGiven the list of codecs that support PNG04:19
persiaminimally invasive workarounds are where we are today :)04:19
NCommanderThis can be fixed04:19
NCommanderpersia, well, if this workaround holds water so the speak, we can fix this bug04:19
* NCommander first opens the debian bug, and points the maintainer to the build log04:19
* NCommander looks up how to re-open a bug04:20
StevenKNCommander: For debbugs? found <number> <version>04:21
* NCommander nods04:21
NCommanderthanks04:22
persiaDoes it need to be reopened in Debian?04:22
NCommanderpersia, I'm cooking a fix now04:22
NCommanderpersia, yeah04:22
NCommanderpersia, not the smc one04:22
persiaDarn.04:22
NCommandera bug in cegui04:22
NCommanderThe maintainer is smoking crack since SILLY wasn't uploaded, and there are warnings in the build log about it04:22
NCommanderBut I can fix smc in intrepid04:23
NCommanderpersia, was there an Ubuntu bug?04:23
crimsunTheMuso: #274124 likely needs another fix; at least one person has confirmed that 70pulseaudio fails whereas 59pulseaudio does not fail04:24
persiaNCommander, Not that I saw : just an entry on the RCbugs list.04:25
TheMusocrimsun: Trouble is that will cause pulse to run before dbus, and pulse/hal etc uses dbus.04:25
NCommanderpersia, ok, we need an ack from release because this adds a new feature (the library is compiled with an additional codec),04:25
NCommanderpersia, and well, an ack in general since its final freeze04:25
crimsunTheMuso: hmm, currently, is dbus invoked via the GNOME session script or via 75dbus_dbus-launch?04:26
TheMusocrimsun: by the latter.04:26
crimsunTheMuso: ok, so we're currently counting on 75dbus_dbus-launch completing before 70pulseaudio does?04:27
persiaNCommander, Then we need a bug, with a patch, and request to MOTU-Release.04:27
NCommanderpersia, well, there are no code fixes, just a build-dep added04:27
* NCommander looks up what he needs in the FFe04:27
NCommanderAfter I confirm this fix work04:27
TheMusocrimsun: it doesn't quite work like that. Each script adds their executable to the STARTUP variable, which the last file executes: 99x11-common_start04:28

NCommanderScottK, the backtrace is kinda O_o;04:31
TheMusocrimsun: Yes, but I'm not sure if pulse's functionality would be broken should we run pulse prior to dbus.04:31
crimsunit doesn't appear to have broken, but I'll gather more testers in the next day04:31
TheMusook04:32
ScottKNCommander: I'd at least like to distill what's there into as reasonable an upstream bug as we can.  They're releasing a new version in a week and a half and their RCs don't usually get a lot of testing, so this is likely news for them.04:34
NCommanderScottK, can you reproduce?04:34
NCommanderThe backtrace is giving me very little so to speak04:34
NCommander(it looks like thunderbird and clamav's talk to each other over sockets, and thunderbird sent a bad command causing the segfault)04:35
NCommanderBut thats just specuation without some serious debugging04:35
ScottKI haven't had any crashes here, but I don't have Thunderbird or said plugin.04:35
NCommanderHas that plugin been binary rebuilt against the new API/ABI?04:35
ScottKIt's a non-packaged plugin, but the clamd API is pretty stable.04:36
ScottKIt's libclamav that's all over the map.04:36
NCommanderI don't think this plugin compiles against any clam protocol04:37
ScottKNo.  It just talks across the socket.04:37
NCommanderMy guess? Bad data04:37
NCommanderGranted04:37
NCommanderThat shouldn't cause a segfault04:38
ScottKYes.04:38
ScottKCrashes are by definition bugs.04:38
* NCommander grumbles04:38
NCommanderI have no real interest in weeding bugs out of clamav, but I can help improve the bug report if I can reproduce it04:38
