| directhex | bah. too much C, too much low-level. i hate bugs i can't patch | 00:36 |
| NCommander | directhex, ? | 00:37 |
| directhex | NCommander, trying to patch the suck out of usplash | 00:37 |
| NCommander | You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Exits in all directions. | 00:38 |
| directhex | indeed | 00:38 |
| directhex | NCommander, i've mostly managed to convince usplash to do what i want on this laptop. mostly. one glitch remains, which i'd like to patch away, but i'm headed into the land of ioctl() | 00:39 |
| NCommander | directhex, A sign on the wall says "Abandon All Hope" | 00:43 |
| stgraber | directhex: hey, while you are at it, can you fix geode GX2 support too ? :) thanks | 00:43 |
| Mithrandir | usplash is love | 00:45 |
| stgraber | directhex: X just doesn't start if usplash is started at boot time so basically the customer is either complaining because it doesn't get the usplash or complaining because he only has the usplash but no X :) | 00:45 |
| directhex | stgraber, which part of "too much low-level" wasn't clear? o_o | 00:45 |
| stgraber | directhex: bah, it's C, could be worse :) | 00:46 |
| directhex | oh, hey, look, the random wifi-related lockups i was warned about happened | 00:46 |
| NCommander | directhex, x86 assembly code looks at you confused. (it only wants to be your friend) | 00:47 |
| directhex | NCommander, this is such a simple desire, too | 00:48 |
| directhex | NCommander, i want......... an offset! | 00:48 |
| NCommander | x86 assembly language isn't hungry for offsets, its only pinning for fjords | 00:49 |
| NCommander | (if anyone gets that reference, you are awesome) | 00:49 |
| * directhex nails NCommander to his perch | 00:49 | |
| NCommander | Not the answer I was looking for | 00:50 |
| directhex | as it stands, usplash assumes it has a "full screen" framebuffer to work with. that framebuffer is always 4:3 - but if usplash knows it's really on a widescreen monitor, then it'll use a 4:3 theme which has been compressed horizontally so it looks 16:9 when stretched from 4:3 to 16:9 | 00:51 |
| directhex | now, if you pass a framebuffer mode via vga=X, then this breaks things a little - usplash still tries to draw assuming the framebuffer is the size it's been informed of (values in usplash.conf, determined god knows when), and if usplash.conf numbers are larger than vga=X, everything goes to hell | 00:52 |
| directhex | if usplash.conf is smaller than vga=X, then it displays fine - in the top-left corner | 00:53 |
| directhex | so what i would like is the ability to essentially offset usplash, so i can make it use a "4:3" theme, offset from the left margin enoguh to center it on a 16:10 monitor | 00:54 |
| Riddell | tjaalton: do you know where /usr/include/X11/extensions/XInput.h has disappeared to? | 01:18 |

| RAOF | savid: What particular nvidia issues? | 02:27 |
| savid | RAOF apparently certain nvidia drivers are incompatible w/ intrepid... | 02:28 |
| RAOF | savid: If you're referring to the lack of 3d drivers for <= geforce4 cards, then that particualar problem has either been fixed or is in the process of being fixed. | 02:29 |
| savid | RAOF, anywhere I can track the status on that? | 02:29 |
| RAOF | savid: nvidia released a new driver, which works. It's either in intrepid-proposed or intrepid-updates, I'm not sure which. | 02:29 |
| savid | hmm | 02:29 |
| RAOF | There's undobtably a launchpad bug on it, but I don't know the number offhand. | 02:29 |
| savid | ok, thanks. I'll keep looking around for it :) | 02:30 |
| * savid needs his compiz! | 02:30 | |
| savid | Hmm, interesting. this page says nvidia-glx-177 should work w/ my card (GeForce 8600M GT), and the release page says that nvidia-glx-177 should work w/ intrepid: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177 | 02:49 |
| aaaantoine | May I ask about gnome-panel applets here? | 03:01 |

| kirkland | slangasek: i was trying to get the ubuntu and debian ecryptfs-utils packages back in sync | 04:26 |
| persia | kirkland, For pre-release Debian packages, there's a fair precedent for pulling from Debian Vcs with -0ubuntu1 (generally by agreement with Debian maintainers) with a note in the changelog that reminds one to sync when Debian is published. | 04:33 |
| kirkland | persia: sorry, it's been a long day, and i've worked on a lot of different packages today ... which are you referring to? | 04:33 |
| persia | kirkland, " i was trying to get the ubuntu and debian ecryptfs-utils packages back in sync" as reference to "after the lenny release" | 04:35 |
| persia | It's a suggestion for a workaround to avoid future confusion, rather than a criticism of something you've done. | 04:36 |
| kirkland | persia: by "back in sync", i meant that i'm working with the debian maintainer to feed the remaining ubuntu changes back to Debian | 04:37 |
| slangasek | persia: ecryptfs-utils diverges in Debian due to local changes for compatibility with pam-auth-update, which is Ubuntu-only until after the lenny release | 04:37 |
| persia | Ah, and there's no post-Lenny branch in Vcs yet. Nevermind: this package is different than many others I've seen recently. | 04:38 |

| pyrosanltd | Hello I have an Tyan k8w system that is experiencing random lockups I cannot find any information in the log files or in my dmesg, and I am completely stumped as to what action to take next to trouble shoot this, any help or suggestions would be appreciated | 07:37 |
| geser | pyrosanltd: have you tried running memtest already? | 07:38 |
| pyrosanltd | yes I have | 07:39 |
| pyrosanltd | and everything turned out clean | 07:39 |
| pyrosanltd | I am able to get the system to hang if I have amarok update my music collection (which is on a NFS mount) while moving a large file over my network say 4gb | 07:41 |
| pyrosanltd | also coming from the NFS mount | 07:41 |
| RAOF | Well, starting that off and then switching to a VT to catch the kernel output might be instructive. | 07:41 |
| pyrosanltd | is there a specific VT that would dump out kernel output ? | 07:42 |
| RAOF | All of them. | 07:43 |
| pyrosanltd | ok one moment let me get an extra irc client up on my laptop | 07:43 |
| pyro_ | huh | 07:52 |
| pyro_ | RAOF I was not able to get output in the VT | 07:55 |
| pyro_ | this is pyrosanltd bthw | 07:56 |
| RAOF | pyro_: You got to a VT, and it crashed, but there was no output, or you couldn't get to a VT? | 07:58 |
| pyro_ | RAOF I did get to a VT but no output when it crashed | 07:58 |
| RAOF | Urgh. | 08:01 |
| pyro_ | ? | 08:01 |
| RAOF | Well, there _should_ have been copious debug spew as the kernel paniced. I don't know what the lack of output means. | 08:02 |
| RAOF | But I can't imagine it's good :) | 08:02 |
| pyro_ | indeed I have been pluaged with this issue since 6.2.24 was used | 08:02 |
| pyro_ | I have been living with it for quite some time | 08:03 |
| pyro_ | I would love to file a bug report But I really do not have enough info to do so | 08:03 |
| liw | pyro, how long did you run memtest? | 08:04 |
| pyro_ | 2 days | 08:04 |
| liw | that's long enough | 08:04 |
| pyro_ | chuckles yeah I wanted to make damn sure it was not my memory | 08:05 |
| liw | I typically only get errors from memtest after at least several hours of testing, so the minimum I run it is 12 hours | 08:05 |
| liw | anyway, that's my only guess | 08:05 |
| pyro_ | gotcha | 08:05 |
| pyro_ | would a rundown of what hardware I have in my system be of any help ? | 08:06 |
| pyro_ | I have a tyan k8W with dual Opteron246he processors an LSI megaraid controller configured with a striped array for my system disk an nvidia Geforece 6600 with 4 gigs of ram | 08:10 |

| directhex | is ubuntu libjpeg using the most recent upstream, i.e. does moz using a svn snapshot? | 14:40 |

| persia | fta, regarding chromium, have you entered into a naming discussion with the chromium BSU people? | 14:47 |
| directhex | fta, if it's ABI-incompat, then you need to make sure all 600-odd packages that dep it rebuild against your new one. if it's api compat, you need to deal with hundreds of devs who want to kill you | 14:47 |

| cjwatson | Keybuk: no, it was following a build failure | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: (dictd) | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: it only broke on armel due to the weird way the bootstrap was done | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: i.e. it was done initially in a sort of vaguely Debianish chroot that had /bin/sh -> bash, so libtool thought "hey, /bin/sh is good enough" and hardcoded that in /usr/bin/libtool | 14:55 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: when the chroot was fixed/updated to have /bin/sh -> dash, that broke | 14:55 |

| fta2 | directhex, persia, as debian didn't care to do it in >10 years, it's safe to assume that i can experiment on my side and propose to debian later. too bad we don't have a regression test suite for the whole desktop to track eventual regressions. | 15:04 |
| persia | fta, For jpeg, yes. For chromium, I do encourage you to speak with the chromium BSU people. I suspect that it's easier to get it right the first time. | 15:05 |

| liw | Keybuk, does MoM remove .git from a source package? looking at lockfile-progs, the Debian .tar.gz seems to have it, the MoM-generated Ubuntu one does not | 15:12 |
| Keybuk | not deliberately | 15:12 |
| Keybuk | it always favours the ubuntu .tar.gz though | 15:12 |
| Keybuk | so if Debian's .orig.tar.gz has a .git and Ubuntu's doesn't, the result won't | 15:13 |
| Keybuk | (since there's no point providing a merge that you can't upload due to md5 sum change :p) | 15:13 |
| liw | it's a native package so in this instance the tarball is always re-created, as far as I can see | 15:14 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | it rarely cares about that ;) | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | oh, wait | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | isn't lockfile-progs one of the spethial ones | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | with extra chest-thumping | 15:15 |
| liw | but yeah, the current tarball in ubuntu doesn't have .git | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | the Ubuntu one isn't even in the same version series as the debian ones | 15:15 |
| liw | I don't see why Debian has .git in there, I'd consider that a bug | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | right | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | ignore that entierly | 15:15 |
| liw | Keybuk, oh? | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | that merge is bogus | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | the Ubuntu maintainer uploaded 0.1.11 with the version 0.1.11ubuntu1 | 15:16 |
| Keybuk | which meant that when the next Debian version was 0.1.11-0.1 | 15:16 |
| Keybuk | the Ubuntu version was *still* higher | 15:16 |
| liw | should it be marked somewhere, somehow, so it gets dropped off the MoM list? | 15:16 |
| Keybuk | so the maintainer merged with 0.1.11ubuntu2 | 15:16 |
| Keybuk | I could blacklist it :) but I felt it was unsporting | 15:16 |

| fta2 | persia, for chromium, i'm in frequent contact with upstream, and i try to upstream my patches when they are ready. what are "chromium BSU people" ? | 15:23 |
| persia | fta, It's the upstream that handles the package named "chromium" in Ubuntu. | 15:23 |
| persia | It's a game called "chromium BSU". I suspect that working together to determine package names early will lead to the least stress later. | 15:24 |
| persia | One of the members of the upstream chromium BSU team is also a member of the Debian Games team, so there's close coordination available at all levels for that package. | 15:24 |

| ahasenack | Keybuk: what's the proper way? | 15:51 |
| Keybuk | ahasenack: use a tool like sysv-rc-conf or bum | 15:51 |
| ahasenack | Keybuk: that's the "official" ubuntu way? | 15:51 |

| NCommander | lamont, ping, I need your help with xvfb again | 21:48 |
| directhex | cjwatson, i think it was you i spoke with before. did you favour including mono-debugger in main, rather than dropping mono-dbg to universe? | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | I did say something like that, although I haven't looked at mono-debugger at all | 21:55 |
| directhex | cjwatson, well, the package in jaunty currently doesn't serve much purpose. i'm still planning for release, which if all goes according to play means mono-debugger (and mono) 2.2, where jaunty has 0.6 right now | 21:56 |
| cjwatson | but all other things being equal it's the approach I'd normally prefer ... stuff in main should come with debugging support as a general principle | 21:56 |
| directhex | debian NEW delays are really messing us around | 21:57 |
| NCommander | directhex, just do a fast sync (upload with -0, or 1~ubuntu1), and then when it goes through new, it gets clobbered by the package ins id | 22:02 |
| directhex | NCommander, huh? explain? | 22:03 |
| NCommander | directhex, you can version an upload so that it will get clobbered by the next sync from Debian. A few packages in main do this, and I've done it for the Desktop team | 22:03 |
| NCommander | (or just give it a 0ubuntu1, then sync once its in Debian by hand) | 22:03 |
| directhex | NCommander, will sync by hand. this is a monumental project. about 100 syncs/merges will be needed (or ubuntu patches applied) after mono 2 syncs in. and we need to rebuild all those things in experimental | 22:04 |
| NCommander | so what's stopping you from uploading as 0ubuntu1? | 22:05 |
| directhex | NCommander, duplication of work. i don't see why motu and core-devs should alter 100 packages by hand, this far before release, when they can just nab the needed changes from debian | 22:06 |
| NCommander | I thought you were waiting on a few individual packages :-P! | 22:06 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Even trickier is upload it as -0build1 and autosync will clobber it after it gets out of New. | 22:35 |
| NCommander | ScottK, well, I would upload as 0~ubuntu1, or 1~ubuntu1 | 22:35 |
| NCommander | (0~ubuntu1 if you expect a non-maintainer new upstream release upload) | 22:35 |
| ScottK | Well you'd still have to ask for it to be sync'ed over then. | 22:35 |

| NCommander | (note the tide) | 22:44 |
| directhex | NCommander, i saw. thanks | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: ScottK is correct - the "ubuntu" substring in a version is what inhibits autosyncing | 23:11 |
| cjwatson | in fact that is the entire root of the purpose of putting "ubuntu" in version numbers | 23:12 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, oh, I thought only XubuntuX prevented sync, X~ubuntuX would still work | 23:21 |
| directhex | okay, i've talked with meebey..... sod debian NEW... i'd like to get people able to work on the packaging transition ASAP, which means uploading a mono stack somewhere people can work with | 23:22 |

| directhex | so. NCommander i've got an OBS repo. want mono 2.0 for RHEL5? ^_^ | 23:25 |
| directhex | NCommander, okay then. let's get this party started. it's gonna be pretty major. i suppose i should mail -devel and -motu about it | 23:27 |
| NCommander | directhex, well, I need to setup the infrastructure | 23:27 |
