| fta | to who's behind http://patches.ubuntu.com, please extract the series/00index files, it's confusing upstream when some patches are listed there but are not applied in reality | 01:24 |
| lifeless | fta: what do you mean 'extract' | 01:25 |
| stgraber | lifeless: I guess, basically only showing patches that are applied (the ones in 00list) instead of all patches with no way to know which are actually applied | 01:25 |
| fta | lifeless, referring to " /by-release/extracted/ubuntu" | 01:25 |
| lifeless | stgraber: I can guess as well, but fta knows! | 01:26 |
| lifeless | fta: sorry, please be more clear. Do you want the file shown, do you want patches that aren't in it not shown? details.. | 01:26 |
| fta | either way is fine, the current way is not :) | 01:27 |
| fta | lifeless, maybe it's easier to only extract the active patches and keep the indexes hidden (as upstream is not always aware of what quilt and dpatch are) | 01:30 |
| ScottK | fta: Do you have experience with upstreams that browse p.u.c directly? IME usually it's a link to a specific patch in a bug report so they know which to look at. | 01:53 |
| fta | ScottK, yes, mozilla, they are currently reviewing our patches for xul and firefox | 01:54 |
| ScottK | I see. In that case I can see how it could be a bit confusing. | 01:55 |
| fta | ScottK, we have a long list of patches, it's easier that way, compared to using the branch on code.lp | 01:55 |
| ScottK | I wonder if there's some bzr-whatever_they_use_now (Hg I think?) plugin where they could pull the branch in and review it in their own VCS? | 01:57 |
| fta | it's hg, they have hgweb, a clone of gitweb, and several web tools to dig into the code | 02:03 |
| fta | but for a quick patch review, p.u.c is nice | 02:04 |
| piju_ | hello, how can i make a suggestion in packages ? | 02:10 |
| hyperair | piju_: what dyou mean? | 02:13 |
| piju_ | hyperair, wants to suggest to put newer version of package | 02:16 |
| piju_ | hyperair, i think squid 2.7 is better than squid 2.6, but squid 3 is different version from 2.* that is why there is two version of squid in debian/ubuntu packages | 02:19 |
| * hyperair has no idea | 02:22 | |
| hyperair | well file a bug on launchpad.net | 02:22 |
| hyperair | speaking of which.... squid 2.7 is in ubuntu | 02:23 |
| hyperair | piju_: ^ | 02:23 |
| hyperair | so what's your point exactly? | 02:23 |
| piju_ | hyperair, ok thanks | 02:24 |
| * hyperair is confused | 02:24 | |
| piju_ | my points is, ubuntu user can use the benefits of squid 2.7 | 02:24 |
| piju_ | thats all | 02:24 |
| piju_ | im not ruining ubuntu | 02:25 |
| hyperair | well | 02:25 |
| hyperair | squid 2.7 is in ubuntu | 02:25 |
| hyperair | so | 02:25 |
| piju_ | if u feel like im such a jerk. its ok. just forget it | 02:25 |
| hyperair | i don't understand | 02:25 |
| hyperair | seriously | 02:25 |
| hyperair | nono there's some miscommunication or something. =.= | 02:25 |
| piju_ | pool/main/s/squid/squid_2.6.18-1ubuntu3_i386.deb | 02:26 |
| piju_ | still 2.6 | 02:26 |
| hyperair | that's in older versions of ubuntu | 02:26 |
| hyperair | ubuntu intrepid has squid 2.7 | 02:26 |
| hyperair | dyou mean you want squid 2.6 backported? | 02:26 |
| piju_ | really ? | 02:26 |
| hyperair | yep | 02:26 |
| piju_ | intrepid has squid 2.7 ? | 02:26 |
| hyperair | yep | 02:26 |
| hyperair | ubuntu hardy has squid 2.6, intrepid has squid 2.7 | 02:27 |
| piju_ | ok. nevermind. coz im using hardy now. | 02:27 |
| hyperair | ah | 02:27 |
| piju_ | hyperair, thanks. maybe squid 2.7 can be backported in hardy | 02:28 |

| dholbach | good morning | 06:42 |
| dholbach | the kill switch for wifi on my IBM X40 does not work any more (intrepid), does anybody else have the same problem? what can I do to debug it? loading the ipw2100 does "work", but the wireless LED is still not blinking | 06:56 |
| soren | dholbach: Your X40 has a wifi kill switch? | 07:07 |
| dholbach | soren: well the FN-F5 thing | 07:07 |
| soren | dholbach: Oh, that. | 07:07 |
| dholbach | right now it just toggles bluetooth on and off | 07:07 |
| dholbach | but no wifi workie workie | 07:07 |
| soren | :( | 07:07 |
| slangasek | dholbach: the wireless in the IBM X40 is ipw2100? | 07:11 |
| dholbach | slangasek: yep | 07:12 |
| dholbach | I'm just talking to amitk on #ubuntu-kernel - let's see what he can find :) | 07:12 |
| slangasek | dholbach: do you have a /sys/class/net/$dev/device/rfkill directory? I think each driver has to be converted to that individually and I don't have any idea if ipw2100 has; the acpi-support stuff should still support the old interfaces as well, but that's probably untested in intrepid | 07:13 |
| dholbach | /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill | 07:14 |
| dholbach | /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill/rfkill0 | 07:14 |
| dholbach | /sys/class/rfkill | 07:14 |
| dholbach | /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0 | 07:14 |
| dholbach | /sys/module/rfkill | 07:14 |
| dholbach | slangasek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70342/ - it worked like 2 days ago with intrepid, but does not work now | 07:17 |
| slangasek | hum | 07:17 |
| slangasek | so no under /sys/class/net/$dev/device/rfkill ? | 07:17 |
| slangasek | s/under // | 07:17 |
| dholbach | what I pasted above is the output of find /sys/ -name "*kill*" | 07:18 |
| slangasek | ok | 07:18 |
| slangasek | hopefully you still have /sys/class/net/$dev/device/power/state ? | 07:18 |
| dholbach | daniel@lovegood:/sys/class/net$ ls | 07:20 |
| dholbach | eth0 lo pan0 | 07:20 |
| dholbach | daniel@lovegood:/sys/class/net$ | 07:20 |
| dholbach | no, doesn't look like it | 07:20 |
| slangasek | is one of those your wireless? | 07:20 |
| slangasek | (i.e., is your wireless device named 'eth0' for some reason?) | 07:20 |
| dholbach | no, I'm connected via cable (eth0) right now | 07:20 |
| dholbach | pan0 should be some bluetooth thing I never managed to use :) | 07:20 |
| slangasek | mmm, you should still have the device listed there if the kernel detects it. | 07:21 |
| UpChuck_Norris | Just to be sure it's not the obvious solution, is your wireless card disabled (keyboard shortcut, power switch, etc.)? | 07:24 |
| wgrant | That sort of problem often spontaneously occurs due to the wireless card deciding to disable itself in the BIOS | 07:25 |
| dholbach | wgrant: alright, I'll reboot and see what the BIOS says - back in a bit | 07:25 |
| wgrant | I've no idea how it happens. | 07:25 |
| wgrant | But I' | 07:25 |
| wgrant | But I've seen it on a couple of different machines now. | 07:26 |
| dholbach | alright | 07:26 |
| slangasek | UpChuck_Norris: I guess you're joining us mid-conversation; dholbach's specific complaint was that the keyboard shortcut doesn't work. | 07:26 |

| * wgrant likes happy users. | 07:31 | |
| liw | I have one of those hardware kill switches, it seems | 07:32 |
| xTr3m3 | i like it ,open source is the best for future | 07:32 |
| liw | except only for bluetooth, not wifi | 07:32 |
| wgrant | It's not quite as infuriating as Dell brightness keys, I don't think. | 07:32 |
| wgrant | We;ve got libsmbios to control brightness in software, but AFAICT you can't stop the BIOS from controlling the brightness. | 07:32 |
| wgrant | So when you unplug the AC, the BIOS drops the backlight immediately, then g-p-m puts it back up and down again in a gradient. | 07:33 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, I have found a fix for bug 290395 and would like to make an SRU | 07:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 290395 in splix "[Intrepid] Xerox Phaser 6100 driver 2.0.0 does not work causing SpliX error" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/290395 | 07:48 |
| tkamppeter | Only problem is that it is not a tiny patch but one has to replace the pdftoraster filter by another one | 07:49 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: uh, that sounds regression prone | 07:49 |
| tkamppeter | See my last comment in the bug report | 07:49 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: can you please sub ubuntu-sru? I'll have a look later then | 07:50 |
| amitk | dholbach: did you update the bios recently | 07:50 |
| dholbach | amitk: no, never | 07:50 |
| dholbach | I'm too boring for things like that | 07:51 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I can perhaps also do it somehow that I add a renamed version of the filter to SpliX and also some .types and .convs files so that only SpliX uses the new filter- | 07:51 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: that's a good idea | 07:51 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: then this new filter could be shipped in the splix package itself? | 07:51 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, yes. This will then only be done for the INTrepid SRU package of SpliX. This will not be introduced in Jaunty. In Jaunty pdftoraster will be replaced straight-away so that it gets full 6 months to get tested. | 07:54 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: sounds like a good plan | 07:54 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, the filter will be renamed to pdftosplixraster and by conversion rule it produces data of format splix-raster. The SpliX PPDs will then get patched to accept splix-raster as input. | 07:56 |
| tkamppeter | And this will be made exclusively for Intrepid, not for Jaunty. | 07:57 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, see my last comment on bug #290395 | 08:05 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 290395 in splix "[Intrepid] Xerox Phaser 6100 driver 2.0.0 does not work causing SpliX error" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/290395 | 08:05 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, does this work? Can I make a new Intrepid package for SpliX for the SRU without needing to upload it into Jaunty? | 08:06 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: if the corresponding filter change is one in jaunty (in cups, I assume?), that's fine, yes | 08:07 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so I should do the Jaunty changes at first? | 08:08 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, this means that I remove pdftoraster and its .tconvs rule from CUPS, add the new filter and the .convs rule to Ghostscript. | 08:09 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: it should be done by the time it goes into -updates; you can do the SRU first, if you are currently working on it | 08:09 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, the cups/ghostscript change also affects Debian, as CUPS is synced. | 08:10 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I guess that's intended? | 08:10 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, yes. Debian should also get equipped with the better pdftoraster filter. We only have to do it in a way so that the time where Debian is incomplete (filter taken from CUPS but not yet added to ghostscript) as short as possible. | 08:12 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: why does it need to move anyway? | 08:12 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, but you can probably also upload Ghostscript into Debian, simply applying the debdiff of my next Ubuntu Ghostscript to it. | 08:13 |
| stefanlsd | Anyone use jigdo on Ubuntu that needs an updated Ubuntu mirror list, or is it ok as is? | 08:14 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, it has to move as I have placed my pdftoraster filter in the upstream repository of Ghostscript, as pstoraster is already there. The Poppler-based pdftoraster is in the Ubuntu/Debian package of CUPS and upstream neither in CUPS nor in Ghostscript. | 08:14 |
| === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF | ||
| pitti | tkamppeter: no, I can't upload gs into debian | 08:32 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: but you should file a debian bug with the changes and ask the maintainer to upload to experimental, so that we can do the cups change in experimental, too | 08:33 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: until that happens, we have to fork cups | 08:33 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: or put a copy of the new pstoraster into cups | 08:34 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, there will probably not be an interruption, if someone happns to have the new CUPS package with pdftoraster removed but not the new Ghostscript with pdftoraster added, CUPS will automatically take a PostScript path using pstoraster. So if Debian's ghostscript maintainer does not follow quickly, most users will not see any problem. | 08:35 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: that shuold be done with a versioned dependency on ghostscript | 08:35 |
| dholbach | slangasek, wgrant, amitk, mvo: it was a hardware problem, I took out the minipci card, dusted it off, put it back in again and the machine is happy again :) | 08:36 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so as the removal of pdftoraster from CUPS does not cause any breakage and as CUPS trunk is currently only in experimental, I think I will commit the removal to BZR now and the Ghostscript change will probably follow soon, as the gs maintainer can simply take my changes from the Ubuntu gs package. | 08:37 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ok, if that works (I think I did try to remove pdftoraster, and that broke with a "filter not found" error) | 08:38 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, as soon as the pdftoraster-equipped gs package appears in Debian, the CUPS package of Debian will get a versioned gs dependency. | 08:38 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, you cannot simply take away a filter under a running CUPS daemon. You must also take away pdftoraster.convs and restart CUPS. | 08:39 |
| pitti | ah, I didn't remove the .convs | 08:40 |
| wgrant | dholbach: How strange... | 08:41 |
| dholbach | wgrant: my X40 is 4+ years old, so it was just the off-dusting and re-plugging :) | 08:42 |

| ogra | pitti, no, and there wont be ever (the discussion predates our patch btw) | 12:14 |
| ogra | upstream simply disagrees with our view, jammcq (ltsp) has discussed it several times with them and mdz and i decided to add it on a package level instead so that our users arent affected, i would stil like to keep it until upstream finally releases a v4.x | 12:16 |
| pitti | ogra: ok, fine | 12:17 |
| pitti | oh, it's fixed in 4.x? | 12:17 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, I have made a new Ubuntu package of gs, filed a bug against Debian gs to take the new pdftoraster (Debian bug 505282), and added the bug number to the CUPS changelog.

| tkamppeter | pitti, tell me when you have uploaded the new cups package so that I can upload ghostscript to Ubuntu. | 12:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: cool, thanks; building now | 12:18 |
| ogra | pitti, there is no "fix" for disagreement ;) the change is less of a surprise in a new version though | 12:19 |

| ogra | its about userfriendlyness, next-server used to default to the dhcp server itself if unset (so tftp gets automatically requested from the same machine on netboot), at some point upstream decided to force it to 0.0.0.0 if unset which breaks all existing setups | 12:21 |

| tdomhan | if you want to request a new feature for ubuntu, do you file a blueprint, or should you file a wishlist bug? | 14:35 |
| directhex | what kind of feature? | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | users should not file blueprints | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | blueprints are software design documents and should generally be written by developers | 14:37 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, the patch applies to a part where a lot of page margin calculations are done. | 14:41 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, in src/document.cpp, from line 114 on there is some calcualtion for clipping done. Probably something is mis-calculated there. | 14:43 |

| alkisg | Hi, I'm trying to fix hotkey-setup for my laptop (acer-aspire-5900.hk). But there are some keys that I don't know where I should map them. E.g. there is an "e" key which is supposed to start Acer "Empowering Technology". Should I map this to HP_KEY? | 21:59 |
| alkisg | Other keys which I don't know where to map are: TV, Acer Arcade, Shortcut help, eSettings, ePower management, touchpad toggle, euro, dollar sign. Any ideas? | 22:03 |
| slangasek | cody-somerville: I've merged your branch into my local branch, but haven't pushed it yet; I was thinking about changing the variable name to indomU instead of in_domU, which I think is more consistent with the existing convention, what do you think? | 22:04 |
| slangasek | jordi: sure, that would be on a 64-bit capable system running a 32-bit install with a 64-bit kernel. The question is, what software is out there that uses alsa, that you would go to the trouble of running in 64-bit mode? | 22:05 |
| alkisg | sladen, any hints? ^^^^ | 22:05 |
| sladen | alkisg: I think there's a POWER key we were mapping the various "open power-saving control panel" function to | 22:07 |
| sladen | alkisg: Acer Arcade, probably needs mapping to just one of the PROG1/PROG2 functions | 22:08 |
| alkisg | sladen, KEY_POWER it is then. :) The other ones? Is there any documentation in the key-constants? | 22:08 |
| sladen | alkisg: touchpad should be easy to spot from the other files | 22:08 |
| alkisg | (and I think I'll map TV to KEY_MEDIA) | 22:09 |
| sladen | alkisg: hopefully there's enough comments in the other manufacturer files | 22:09 |
| alkisg | sladen, should I include in acer-aspire-5900.hk a call to loadkeys with a "-" parameter (=read from input) to make the euro key actually send a euro character? | 22:10 |

| alkisg | *others | 22:12 |
| sladen | alkisg: the trouble is that hotkey-setup remaps things in terms of actions (volume up, load media player, ...) and not inserting raw textual sequences (ponder over how handle alt-shift-euro | 22:13 |
| sladen | cloest thing would be "load Character Map" but if the kernel doesn't currently have a map for that; then we're stuck | 22:15 |
| sladen | alkisg: null-mapping the might be a good second best | 22:16 |
| alkisg | sladen, I don't really like null-mapping because it makes the key useless, but I believe you're right, so I'll null it. | 22:17 |
| sladen | alkisg: looking at the acer-aspire-1600.hk file, I recorded the infomration in there, but left it commented out, so rather than null mapping, it's doing whatever it was doing before | 22:18 |

| sladen | maxb: coo, that's a new one. | 22:28 |
| maxb_ | Oh, it gets weirder :-) | 22:28 |
| sladen | maxb: can you do some 'acpi_listen' | 22:28 |
| maxb_ | In the early stages of X session startup, it's working properly! | 22:28 |
| xTr3m3 | hello ,i have a question about ubuntu 8.10... is 7zip included in ubuntu 8.10? | 22:28 |
| sladen | maxb: actually this rings a bell, but from 2 years ago | 22:29 |
| maxb_ | Oh, acpi_listen is a lot easier than socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/acpi.socket :-) | 22:30 |
| sladen | xTr3m3: yes. | 22:30 |
| xTr3m3 | =) ok thx... | 22:30 |
| maxb_ | sladen: the acpi event is the one listed in /etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-mute | 22:31 |
| sladen | xTr3m3: if you come across a similar question again, the first thing to do could be to experiment; and if not, try Applications->Add/Remove and see if you can find it searching in there | 22:32 |
| sladen | maxb_: have a look in System->Preferences->Keyboard | 22:32 |
| alkisg | sladen, in the hotkey-setup folder, there are also an "english" and a "greek" file. Do you happen to know if these get loaded, and when? (before or after the laptop hkeys?) | 22:33 |
| alkisg | sladen, and some keys that are "information only", like e.g. the wireless button, I shouldn't map them to e.g. KEY_WLAN, right? (like you did in aspire 1600...) | 22:33 |
| maxb_ | sladen: "Keyboard" or "Keyboard Shortcuts"? Anyway, I've already disabled the "Lock screen" keybinding in "Keyboard Shortcuts" trying to debug this, but the behaviour is unchanged | 22:34 |
| xTr3m3 | okay sladen ,thx for information | 22:35 |
| sladen | alkisg: yes; in theory they can be listened for, then depending on whether a particular laptop does the change itself, the change can be displayed, or changed, then displayed | 22:35 |
| sladen | alkisg: greek file? | 22:36 |
| sladen | maxb_: try killing -9 gnome-power-manager tempoaryily | 22:36 |
| alkisg | sladen, yes, I'm greek and I have both greek + english files there... ?? | 22:36 |
| alkisg | (and the brightness bug didn't occur when I switched the keyboard to greek!) | 22:37 |
| sladen | alkisg: where is 'there' (pathname?) | 22:38 |
| maxb_ | sladen: Better... now "mute" does "volume up" | 22:38 |
| alkisg | intrepid - /usr/share/hotkey-setup | 22:38 |
| sladen | alkisg: and '/usr/share/hotkey-setup' contains greek characters? | 22:39 |
| alkisg | !pastebot | 22:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebot | 22:39 |
| sladen | try /query | 22:40 |
| alkisg | sladen, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/70714/ | 22:40 |

| jdstrand_ | kees: did you happen to see cody-somerville's dput changes? | 22:43 |
| === jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand | ||
| jdstrand | mdeslaur: ^ | 22:43 |
| jdstrand | kees: it allows you to do something like: | 22:44 |
| jdstrand | dput security:intrepid ./..._source.changes | 22:45 |
| jdstrand | kees: with only one entry in ~/.dput.cf | 22:45 |
| jdstrand | kees: it's *awesome* | 22:45 |
| jdstrand | go cody-somerville! :) | 22:45 |
| maxb_ | What component is it that actually shows the volume OSD? | 22:50 |
| sladen | alkisg: I don't know where your 'english' and 'greek' files are coming from. they are are _not_ a standard part of 'hotkey-setup'. The difference in your pastebin in the Nulling out of the HELP, PROG1 and PROG2 keys | 22:53 |
| alkisg | sladen, default intrepid setup. I just selected "greek" when isolinux in the live cd prompted for a language | 22:55 |
| sladen | maxb_: on a thinkpad, mute always mutes. It's emulated, by sending a volume up (unmute) then a mute (force mute) IIRC | 22:55 |
| alkisg | sladen, anyway, no big deal there. Thanks again. | 22:55 |
| maxb_ | yeah, I have come across this in /etc/acpi/always-mute.sh | 22:55 |
| sladen | maxb_: mute is not a toggle on a thinkpad, so investigate it carefully if you think it's not doing as it should do | 22:55 |
| maxb_ | well, with g-p-m killed, it seems that only the "volume up" bit is taking effect | 22:55 |
| sladen | maxb_: correct, but in normal operation, g-p-m _would_ be running, and right at the moment, the hardware keys still do as expected (other than for toggling mute) | 22:56 |
| sladen | maxb_: I thought your original issue was to do with lock and mute; does the locking no longer occur? | 22:58 |
| maxb_ | with g-p-m killed, locking does not occur | 22:58 |
| sladen | maxb_: sooo, we've narrowed it down that g-p-m is the one mis-interpreting the key-press | 22:59 |
| maxb_ | the quirky thing is that muting then still isn't occurring which is different from what happens during the first few seconds of X login | 23:00 |
| cody-somerville | jdstrand, :D | 23:00 |
| === mrooney1 is now known as mrooney | ||
| maxb_ | hrm | 23:10 |
| maxb_ | So, on poking around in the g-p-m source, it's starting to look like X is confusing the ACPI event into an XF86XK_Screensaver keypress | 23:11 |
| sladen | maxb_: are there any other mappings that don't match | 23:13 |
| maxb_ | What should I check? That last was a conjecture based on what g-p-m is logging ("Key 160 mapped to HAL key lock") and the fact that X is reading the acpi socket | 23:14 |
| maxb_ | Interestingly, g-p-m *is* recognizing the key as "mute" - but the OSD doesn't show, and it *also* gets this "Key 160", which it takes to mean lock | 23:15 |
