loologra: Check the email I just fwed you11:24
loolthis is so going to rock11:25
NCommandermorning lool 11:26
loolhey11:28
NCommanderhow goes it?11:28
loolAlmost over my "flu" or whatever it was that looked like a flu11:30
NCommanderLucky11:32
loolwhat about you?11:32
NCommanderI'm thinking I'm coming down with it now -_-;11:32
loolAh sorry about that11:32
NCommanderoh well11:32
looldavidm and cgregan had it much earlier though, hopefully you didn't get it from me11:32
NCommanderAnyway11:32
NCommanderkde4bindings builds11:33
NCommander<g>11:33
NCommanderOnce we're out of freeze KDE is fixed I hope11:33
theseinfeldNCommander kde4bindings builds where? Also in lpia?12:18
theseinfeldintrepid?12:18
NCommanderjaunty12:18
theseinfeldany back-port?12:19
theseinfeldactually, is it so that we still keep lpia?12:19
NCommanderlpia has its own issues12:20
NCommanderkde4bindings was badly broken on ARM12:20
theseinfeldso, it doesn't build for armel, but for everything else12:41
theseinfeldthe jaunty12:41
theseinfeldhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/kde4bindings/4:4.1.85-0ubuntu112:41
persiatheseinfeld, It's still waiting.12:41
* persia encourages ARM discussions to move to #ubuntu-devel, #kubuntu-devel, or #ubuntu-arm depending on the level of flavour or architecture specificity12:42
theseinfeldquestion is, can we backport it to lpia?12:42
theseinfeldthere are packages that don't install because of that dependency12:43
theseinfeldthe libplasma2 for example12:43
persiaIt built on lpia : https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4bindings/4:4.1.85-0ubuntu1/+build/81484112:43
* theseinfeld apologizes to persia...12:43
theseinfeldyes, but not on intrepid12:44
theseinfeldhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4bindings/4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1/+build/77652712:44
theseinfeldhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4bindings/4:4.1.2-0ubuntu2/+build/74260312:44
theseinfeldthat is where is stops12:45
theseinfeldthat is also why I asked NCommander if he will backport it to intrepid12:45
theseinfeld:D12:45
persiaAh.  Nevermind :)12:45
* theseinfeld scratches his head...12:46
theseinfeldNevermind what? :D I mind if there is nothing there in intrepid...12:46
theseinfeldIf people do a aptitude full-upgrade and they have libplasma2 it will be quite an experience :D12:47
persia"nevermind" as in "ignore my input", and yes, it ought be fixed.  FTBFS usually is SRU-worthy.12:48
theseinfeldit is not working since...november... I think :d12:53
theseinfeldpersia, define SRU worthy in lpia :D12:53
NCommanderIt's not that easy12:53
persiatheseinfeld, Same as anything else, but needs to be regression-tested also against primary architectures, as for any port.12:53
NCommanderlpia's mono is miserably broken, and there are a load of things that had to be fixed, such as circular build depends to get that going on jaunty :-/12:53
persiaNCommander, didn't the Kubuntu team basically decide to give up on lpia for intrepid?12:54
theseinfeldyeah, I know... I've been talking with Hobbsee some time ago on this topic...12:54
NCommanderpersia, I gave up, no one else decided to fix it :-)12:55
theseinfeldshouldn't there be an update on Bug #28940212:55
ubottuLaunchpad bug 289402 in kdebase-workspace "circular build dependency between kdebase-workspace and kde4bindings, broken on lpia and hppa" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28940212:55
* NCommander notes that breakage happened very late in the cycle, and it wasn't caught until just before/after final freeze12:55
theseinfeldNCommander, wasn't that kde python that was causing the mess?13:11
NCommanderyeah13:12
theseinfeldHow bad will it work without it?13:12
theseinfeld:D13:12
NCommanderWe can't build it sanely13:12
NCommanderand it won't build without13:12
NCommanderI forgot how we fixed it for jaunty13:12
theseinfeldLOL13:12
NCommanderbut I'm not going to try and fix it for intrepid13:12
theseinfeldcan't you just backport it? like, make that package in intrepid?13:12
* theseinfeld is thinking: launchpad ppa copy feature?13:13
persiatheseinfeld, Try changing the target in the changelog and pushing to your PPA.  Might break, but might work.13:13
persiaworst case, you'll need to rebuild much larger chunks of stuff, which is where it gets ugly.13:14
theseinfeldI have the build, like NCommander, I just forgot how I fixed it :D13:14
theseinfeldI had it for lpia intrepid even...at some point13:14
theseinfeldI think that that issue is that in the ports.ubuntu. lpia repo there is no more ubuntu9 for that kdebase...13:19
theseinfeldthe break comes between kdebase-workspace...ubuntu9 and ubuntu1213:20
theseinfeldat least last time when I checked13:20
theseinfeldperhaps lool, when he recovers can check this as well :D13:20
NCommandertheseinfeld, if you can provide debdiffs, I'd be willing to look at the possibility of getting it fixed via intrepid-updates13:25
ogralool, seen that ? http://lwn.net/Articles/311890/13:29
loologra: Cool13:31
loologra: I looked into cross building an initrd or initramfs from x86 for armel, and it's not easy; initramfs-tools is shell but runs commands and you can't override its root (so it uses /usr/share), yaird as a similar problem13:33
ograyeah, you'll need qemu at least13:33
looltheseinfeld: hmm?13:35
looltheseinfeld: I thought the circular build-dep was gone in newer kdes13:35
loologra: But even with qemu13:35
loolYou need something like scratchbox to do it13:35
loolWhich is where it becomes ugly13:35
ograthough the design of arm kernels might help us here, you might not actually need an initramfs if you have NAND13:35
loologra: (You checked that email I forwarded you?)13:36
ograi.e. have a minimal rootfs that you can use on firstboot to generate the initramfs 13:36
persiaDepends on the device, and architecture doesn't matter.  I used to boot an amd64 device off nand, which then broke horribly when initramfs was introduced.13:36
persiaEven so, running with a compressed initrd was faster, as the read time to real memory was *much* faster than the read time to the NAND.13:37
ograpersia, i dont mean to really boot without it, but if you have a rootfs.gz sitting in NAND you can mount it through a bootoption, generate a proper initramfs, reboot and voila 13:38
ograour initramfs has to boot in any case ... we shouldnt differ from the main distro ... but we migh not be able to generate it in advance13:38
ograhaving a rootfs.gz could be a way around that but only where you have NAND available 13:39
persiaOh, right, and then store the generated initramfs back to the NAND.13:39
ograright13:39
ogralool, yes, i looked at the arm stuff, sounds cool13:40
persiaJust make sure that the driver for the NAND is in the initramfs: that's why I don't boot my workstation off NAND anymore.13:40
ograindeed13:40
ograpersia, welcome back btw ... took you a while :)13:40
persiaogra, Lots to catch up on before submitting myself to the distraction of live IRC :)13:42
ograah13:42
ograi thought you were routed through intresting airports :)13:42
persiaNo, I flew direct.  Turned out there were several flights on Saturday, and I caught the second after I arrived at the airport, so only had to wait about an hour.13:43
loolAh you had the flew as well13:44
persiaheh, well, not quite the same one :)13:44
ograheh13:53

loolHmm where would I report a bug on the text which is in the cdimage build scripts17:49
loolStevenK, ogra: around?17:50
loolStevenK, ogra: the text on the boot menu for UMPC doesn't fit "Try Ubuntu UMPC without any c" (change)17:50
loolIn fact I can't file bugs about images17:56
loolI guess Ubuntu17:56
Luciole`-Hi everyone18:17
Luciole`-Anyone here ?18:17
Luciole`-Well, anyway18:18
Luciole`-I do have a question about UNR18:18
Luciole`-Is there any special Atom-optimization in UNR iso18:19
Luciole`-or Atom-optimizations are deployed on the whole 8.1018:19
Luciole`-I mean, I just installed a standard Ubuntu 8.10 on a Atom-netbook18:19
Luciole`-and then installed UNR packets for the GUI18:20
Luciole`-but do I miss Atom optimizations ?18:20
Luciole`-Thanks if anyone reads :)18:20
ogralool, known issue18:34
ogralool, the seed isnt matching either yet, i was planning to change it on the go towards alpha3 ... bootability and a running ubiquity is all i care for for alpha218:35
ogralool, i have a half prepared netbook seed already to adjust teh umpc image but wanted to wait until post alpha18:37
* ogra goes back into vacation mode18:37
loologra: StevenK has been working on the seed as well, you two need to coordinate19:00
loolI think he has a branch or something19:00
