dokopitti: please can we demote gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.2? I know linux-ports still build-depends on it, but let's demote it now so that we can make sure the ports are updated this release10:26
kirklandmvo: what do you think about: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kirkland/update-notifier/update-motd/revision/41810:27
mvokirkland: looks good, it would be nice to be able to say that only selected bits of motd update itself, the updates-avaialble count will likely be bogus because this notification is triggered in the middle of a install10:31
mvokirkland: another possible issue might be that the message will be displayed (reboot-requred) while the installation may not yet be finished, but that is the case with the other one too10:32
kirklandmvo: actually, yeah, the bogus updates-available number was the other thing i wanted to fix10:32
kirklandmvo: should hook the "end" of an upgrade operation10:33
kirklandmvo: which should solve the reboot-required problem too10:33
kirklandmvo: in one place10:33
mvokirkland: yep10:36
mvokirkland: there is the apt hook "DPkg::Post-Invoke"10:37
mvokirkland: that can be used for this, it should not be something expensive, just setting a stamp or triggering something, apt will wait until the hooks are all run10:38
sorenYou could perhaps use dpkg-trigger?10:39
sorenkirkland: ^10:40
kirklandmvo: does update-notifier use dpkg-trigger?  or something else?10:42
sorenIt uses dbus, doesn't it?10:44
sorenEr..10:44
sorenNever mind.10:44
mvonot sure if triggers are the right solution here10:44
sorenmvo: No? Why?10:45
mvoI think the hooks that apt provide should be adequate, monitoring /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp (with inotify) is what the update-notifier daemon is doing10:45
mvosoren: dpkg is run by apt in various runs, "dpkg --unpack, --configure, --unpack, --configure" and dpkg will run triggers at the end of configure, so its not a reliable "now everything is finished" because there may be another dpkg invocation next10:46
mvo(unless some new magic in dpkg was added since I last looked at it which is quite possible ;)10:46
sorenmvo: Oh, right. I forget that apt calls dpkg several times.10:47
maxb_dpkg can even run triggers after --unpack10:49
maxb_which can be somewhat unexpected :-/10:49
sorenmaxb_: When would it do that?10:53
maxb_I believe a file-based trigger for a non-conffile is executed after --unpack10:54
=== maxb is now known as maxb__
=== maxb_ is now known as maxb
=== maxb__ is now known as maxb_
sorenmaxb: Interesting. I would expect the trigger to be... well, triggered, but not processed.10:59
maxbYeah. It means a trigger of that type can't rely on its triggerer being configured, which is a pain11:00
maxbNor have I found a way to define a trigger that is triggered by package configuration11:00
sorenHow could it be configured?11:03
maxbWhat do you mean?11:03
sorenIt triggered something that I imagine is part of its configuration process.11:03
sorenLike... Anything that ships documentation that scrollkeeper (or rarian or whatever) needs to process triggers this processing and isn't configured properly until the trigger has been processed.11:05
sorenThat's the whole idea?11:05
sorenEach package used to call scrollkeeper-update (or whatever), and until that was run, it wasn't fully configured.11:06
sorenWith triggers, we just lump all the calls to scrollkeeper together, and until it's been run, the packages that requested this to happen aren't configured.11:07
sorenmaxb: Are you seeing a different POV?11:10
maxbWhat I mean is that scrollkeeper-update can be called when the packages providing the documentation are in the "unpacked" state11:11
cjwatsonmaxb: I think that's somewhat related to a dpkg bug that was fixed in jaunty, so hold off on judgement for the moment11:11
maxbInteresting, I shall peruse changelogs later11:12
cjwatsonat least, I think in intrepid scrollkeeper itself wasn't quite reliably configured in your scenario11:12
cjwatsonalthough it is probably still true that the triggering package doesn't necessarily have to be configured11:13
cjwatsonmaxb: you can call dpkg-trigger from a postinst to activate it by package configuration11:13
sorenmaxb: Ah, I see what you mean now.11:13
maxbcjwatson: Indeed, but my scenario was wanting to create a trigger without the co-operation of the package being installed11:14
maxbI was creating a package that I wanted to be triggered whenever a JVM was configured11:14
ograerm11:15
ograwho rejected my evtouch upload, and why ?11:15
maxbMy first thought was to trigger on /usr/lib/jvm, but that would trigger me when the jvm was unpacked, but not configured.11:15
pittiogra: me, see bug followup11:15
* ogra looks11:15
ograpitti, i definately dont want that package in jaunty :)11:16
pittiogra: erm, why not?11:16
ograupstream included all our changes11:16
pittiogra: ATM jaunty and intrepid have the same version11:16
ograso i want a clean upstream without the 20 patches i wrote indeed :)11:16
pittiso yeah, feel free to upload the new upstream version instead then11:17
ograright, i will packae the new one (unless debian decides to but i fear they wont before lenny)11:17
pittithere's always experimental, which we can sync from11:17
cjwatsonmaxb: interesting; can you explain to me why it needed to be configured?11:18
ograright, if someone will package it there at all, it got as less attention in debian as it got in ubuntu the last three years (the shipped calibration tool never worked for example and nobody in debian ever bothered)11:19
maxbBecause my trigger was being a bit naughty and modifying conffiles11:19
ograjcristau, does the X strikeforce care for evtouch ?11:19
maxbIt was a package to ensure that my company's SSL certificate was added to the JDK's cacerts, which is a conffile11:19
pittidoko: 4.1> it's not just l-ports, it's also klibc11:20
jcristauogra: beside mattia i don't think any of us know anything about it11:22
ograjcristau, thanks i'll mail him, it got a ton of fixes in intrepid (i.e. a working calibration tool after years of being broken) i guess he might be intrested11:24
jcristauogra: feel free to cc debian-x though, in case he doesn't have time i could try to help getting the fixes uploaded11:25
ografunny that upstream's changelog says he puled the fixes from the debian package11:25
ograjcristau, well, upstream included everything right away (even the very hackish stuff)11:25
ograso its only about rolling the new upstream11:25
jcristauah, ok11:26
ograand you wont want it without hal-input ... so not for lenny11:26
Riddellpitti: qt4-x11 re-uploaded to intrepid-proposed11:29

pittitkamppeter: ah, is that why those didn't print at all?16:17
tkamppeterpitti, yes. The rastertoqpdl filter simply crashed in the middle of the processing and therefore it did not print.16:18
pittitkamppeter: then I'll try the ones from openprinting again16:19
tkamppetergcc 4.3 (the standard one in Intrepid) produced broken binaries when used in the LSB SDK. I had to switch to gcc-4.2 to be able to create LSB packages with Intrepid.16:20

alkisgsladen, some help please? I've finished acer-aspire-5900.hk, it works fine if I run `service hotkey-setup restart`. But: (1) at recovery console, hotkey-setup is not yet executed. OK, no big deal. (2) hotkey-setup is executed later in the boot process, I've put some debug "echo something" and I saw it. (3) At gdm, some other keycodes are loaded which override those of hotkey-setup. (4) At the gnome session, other keycodes, different that those of gdm17:04
alkisgsladen, maybe I should put all those "setkeycodes" somewhere else and not in hotkey-setup?17:04

alkisgsladen, I don't see diamonds anymore. The changes were (1) intrepid final instead of beta, and (2) dpkg-reconfigure console-setup => selected Greek font instead of Uni1. I don't know which of the two fixed the diamonds.18:39
alkisgsladen, no normal keys malfunction now18:39
sladenit could be that console tools greek resets the whole of the keyboard map, insetad of just the non-special areas18:40
alkisgsladen, where is hotkey-setup actually effective? I mean, if someone has a different X keyboard layout, won't that override hotkey-setup? And if someone declares a different layout in gnome, won't that also override hotkey-setup?18:41
alkisgWhat can I do to make X/Gnome use the same keyboard layout as hotkey-setup?18:42
maxbCan someone explain exactly what the pipeline is for laptop hotkey events? Are acpi events being read in by acpid the start of the chain?18:55
maxbAnd thence being forked out to X (reading the acpid socket), hald (reading the acpi socket), and acpid rules ?18:55

alkisgcjwatson, a quick question please? My laptop echoes a "±" character when I increase the brightness. I found a fix for under X, but it still does this on recovery (=plain) console. Is console-setup what I should look into?21:18

pregierNot sure what that was, but I think I asked at the wrong time...  I think I may have some info re: a potential GRUB bug but am not sure how much or what type of info to collect since the launchpad section seems to be quite spammy;21:49
pregierwhen we install grub to /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda sometimes we end up with a wrong stage2 address at 0x44 after the next boot21:50
pregierer, sometimes after update-grub that is, never after grub-install21:51
pregierso the next plan is to log each automated call to update-grub to see whether 0x44 gets messed up immediately or only on the next boot; is there any other good information beyond versions etc. that we should be collecting?21:51
pregierI've got a meeting (sorry, didn't realize the time); if anyone has any thoughts I'll check back in an hour, otherwise I'll probably just plan on taking what we're collecting now to launchpad later21:53

cjwatsonasac: did the switch-to-alternative-Flash-implementation stuff from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashExperienceIntrepid ever happen? it wasn't entirely clear to me from the LP status whiteboard and I couldn't find it in the UI23:36
asaccjwatson: http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/tmp/alt2.png http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/tmp/alt1.png23:48
asaccjwatson: when you are on a website with a plugin you should see a small plugin symbol in the statusbar and in Tools menu there is Manage Content plugins menu active23:49
cjwatsonasac: hmm, doesn't seem to work for me23:50
asaccjwatson: i will update the specs23:50
asaccjwatson: what part doesnt work?23:50
cjwatsonnone of it23:50
cjwatsonno plugin symbol, no Manage Content Plugins in Tools23:50
cjwatsonI use flashblock - maybe that's relevant?23:51
cjwatsonerr, I mean "all of it" I suppose, since your question was in the negative23:51
asaccjwatson: do you see the menu entry in tools at all?23:52
asac(e.g. inactive)?23:52
cjwatsonno23:52
asacshould be the bottom most menu entry in tools23:52
cjwatsonWeb Search, divider, Downloads, Add-ons, divider, Greasemonkey, Error Console, Page Info, divider, Clear Private Data23:53
asaccjwatson: yeah. strange. en_GB?23:53
cjwatsonright23:53
cjwatsonI have cs de ru installed as well for testing purposes23:53
asaccjwatson: ubufox installed and enabled?23:54
cjwatsonyep23:54
asacworks for me with LANG=en_GB at least so doesnt seem to be a locale issue23:54
asacanything in the error console?23:55
asaccjwatson: ^^?23:55
asactools -> error console23:55
cjwatsonlots of whining about particular websites23:55
cjwatson"Permission denied to call Location.toString" without any indication of an associated website23:56
asaccjwatson: any other extension installed? (besides from flashblock)23:56
cjwatson"Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.3/components/pyabout.py" (and libpyloader.so)23:56
cjwatsonextensions: flashblock, greasemonkey, link widgets, nukeimage, ubufox, wiki auto-discovery button, and a usage viewer for my ISP (disabled)23:58
cjwatsondisabling flashblock makes no difference23:58
