m3gaScottK: thats my problem :-) i've seen breakage in both ocaml and haskell libs.00:00
ScottKWhat we need is someone who can tell us what needs to be done and in what order since none of use really know about those things.00:01
ScottKIf someone can do the analysis, we can probably make it happen.00:01
m3gai think what it needs more than anything is process; testing that the complete set o libs does work.00:02

maxblaprice: Correct, .ex just means "example" - though those files, even when renamed are not really "built into the package" so much as "used to build the package". Please direct similar future questions to #ubuntu-motu, which is a more on-topic forum for guidance on learning packaging.00:11

superm1maxb, eventually nvidia with have an open libvdpau library and those packages that were provided right now will go away.  they're named the way they're named right now in case that doesn't happen by the time nvidia-185-graphics-drivers is out01:48
superm1nvidia didn't really provide a time frame for when libvdpau will be open01:48
superm1bryce,^ if you are interested too01:48
maxbSo, if 185 shows up in the meantime, it will just need to conflict with 180 explicitly? And if additional versions, then the conflicts lines just grow longer, and hopefully nvidia gets around to doing it properly before it gets silly?01:49
superm1maxb, exactly01:50
maxbgg, makes sense01:50
superm1once libvdpau is open it will be installed by default likely too since ffmpeg will likely be linking to it..01:51

calcArneGoetje: heh nevermind slangasek and I worked out what he wanted to do for alpha 3, he had been thinking about rerolling langpacks but decided against it02:07

calcthe 1.5TB had the problem which was revealed over a month ago and apparently they now know the 1TB are affected too but no solution yet02:51
ArneGoetjecalc: I avoid to buy Seagate and WD for exactly that reason. Too much bad experience.02:56

LaserJockwell, there you go02:58
keescraaap.  I've got 2 of those drives.02:58
ArneGoetjeI've never had problems with Hitachi02:58
RAOFHm.  Alpha-3 freeze means shephearding f-spot and tomboy through the gnome-sharp2 transition so I can get the new version of smuxi is... unlikely :)03:08
cjwatsondidn't hitachi make the notorious deskstar (aka deathstar)?03:08
* kees is currently backing up everything to is handy 1TB usb drive....03:09
ArneGoetjecjwatson: that was IBM (before taken over by Hitachi), yes. But despite the name, I've never had any problems with them... maybe I was just lucky... ;)03:09
cjwatsonit's amazing how half the web forum posts I read castigate Ubuntu for doing nothing but changing the desktop background, and the other half complain about how we haven't changed the theme much for several releases03:12
ArneGoetjebut since my last encounter with WD (which costed me 20000 NT$ to get the data recovered by a profesional data rescue company, I have invested in a hardware raid 5 solution. :)03:12
cjwatson(obviously both missing the point rather substantially)03:12
* kees needs eSATA. usb is slow03:14
RAOFUrgh.  The new volume control notification applet is really annoying.03:16
cjwatsonthe way it's horizontal and semi-offscreen?03:17
RAOFNo, that's the new panel applet.03:17
RAOFThat's also more than moderately annoying.03:17
slangasekRAOF: are the gnome-sharp2 bits in place in the archive?  we didn't have gnome-desktop-sharp2 yet, last I was looking at that03:17
RAOFI'm talking about the notification icon that only pops up when something's playing a stream.03:17
RAOFMeaning that it's impossible to change the volume before something starts playing, and the volume icon is always in a different spot.  Score!03:18
RAOFslangasek: Looks all done to me.03:19
RAOFhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop-sharp2/2.20.1-2ubuntu7/+build/83135703:19
RAOFUrgh, wrong page.03:19
slangasekRAOF: ooh, ok.  Well, maybe we can transition f-spot and tomboy if we desperately need more CD space for alpha-3. :)03:20
slangasekRAOF: you've confirmed that they build ok now against the new versions?03:20
RAOFNo, not tomboy or f-spot.03:20
RAOFDid it for banshee, because that was something I could fix ;)03:21
slangasekheh03:21
RAOFI'll do it for the others now if you like03:22
slangasekit would be useful to have that done so that we can transition them at the best opportunity03:22
RAOFI'll check & attach debdiffs to the transition bug, I guess.03:24
slangasekRAOF: awesome, thanks03:25
calcbacking up 1TB over USB is going to be slowww03:26
calcshould take ~ 14hr or so i guess03:26
* RAOF should get >=4GB of ram on his next purchase. Building things on a tmpfs is just too nice.03:29
calcRAOF: i'm thinking of buying another 4GB for my system to bring it up to 8GB (max for my chipset)03:33
RAOFWell, that's not gone well.  Apparently no package in the archive contains gnome-panel-sharp-2.24.pc03:34
slangasekRAOF: ah, that's what I meant earlier wrt gnome-desktop-sharp203:34
slangasekwe need gd#2 2.2403:35
RAOFWhy did the -0ubunt1 build succeed then?03:35
slangasekof which?03:36
RAOFOf tomboy.03:36
RAOFThe upstream version doesn't seem to have changed.03:36
slangasekbecause it was built against the older gnome-sharp2 that still had gnome-panel-sharp, I think03:36
slangaseker, no; maybe it was that tomboy had code that, *if* it detected g# 2.24 or better at build time, it requires this new .pc03:37
slangasekanyway, if gd#2 isn't updated yet, that's definitely the first step03:37
RAOFAh, yes.  There it is, conditional on gnome-sharp being >= 2.23.9903:39
RAOFRight.  New gd#2.24!03:39
* RAOF goes and checks pkg-cli-libs03:39
RAOFAh, so no quick joy there.03:45
RAOFAnd you made the last, unuploaded checkin to svn.  Score.03:45

bryceactually...05:44
bryceexaCopyDirty sounds familiar05:44
nixternalbryce: ya, we noticed that tonight, however it seems to not be the root of our issue actually...there are one of two things going on that are kde4 related..but I thought I would pass that by you05:44
detWhen I upload a new package to that replaces an older one (the name of the package changed, what can I do to ensure that an aptitude upgrade will upgrade the package), I tried putting "Replaces: X" in the control file, but it isnt working.06:04
slangasekyou would want to create a "dummy" package under the old name to ensure upgrading06:07
slangasekbut why did the package name change?06:07
detIt is in a PPA, and the old maintainer gave it a confusing name.06:09
slangasekok06:09
slangasekcreating a dummy package is the only way to ensure an upgrade06:09
detok, thanks06:09
detI think I have another solution, actually.06:10
detThere is 1 metal package that people install to bring in all the packages, so I just added a conflict on the old package in the meta package06:10
detmeta*06:10
detand changed the depend on the new package06:11
slangasekright, if you have a top-level package whose name will stay the same, that's a better solution :)06:11
detBtw, what is the best way to ensure that a hardy package has an lesser version number than an intrepid package06:12
detIs there any kind of established naming scheme ?06:12
detRight now I am using "XXX-0ubuntu1~ppa2" for intrepid and "XXX-0ubuntu1~ppa1" for hardy06:13
detIt would be nice to number then independently somehow06:13
detXXX-0ubuntu1~ppaX and XXX-0ubuntu2~ppaX maybe ?06:14
RAOFI tend to use foo-0~intrepid~ppa1, foo-0~hardy~ppa1, etc.06:14
detRAOF, does that only work because I > H ?06:14
slangasekyes06:16
slangasekI would lean towards foo-0~ppa1~{hardy,intrepid} or foo-0~ppa1{hardy,intrepid}or foo-0~ppa1.8.{04,10}; that way the release it's built for is the least significant part of the version06:17
detbtw, how do "-" and "~" differ ?06:18
slangasek~ sorts earlier than anything, including end-of-string06:19
slangasek- has a special meaning, in that the last occurence of it in a version number is taken to be the delimiter between the upstream version and the Debian revision06:20
RAOFslangasek: But that won't sort below official backports?06:20
detbtw, why use "-0", I was told to use "-0ubuntu1", but I dont understand the rational for either06:20
slangasekRAOF: well, true; I wasn't worrying about those06:20
slangasekdet: if Debian hasn't packaged that upstream version yet, we use "-0" so that our versions sort earlier than an eventual "-1"06:21
slangasekin theory the Debian maintainer could release a -1 version that includes all of our changes, and we want to ensure we'll be able to sync that version from Debian06:22
detOk, thanks06:22
detwhy the 1 on the end then ?06:22
Mithrandirdet: because we might want to update the packaging or add patches later too06:22
Mithrandirso it might be 0ubuntu2, 0ubuntu3 and so on06:23
detXXX-0~0hardy~ppaX and XXX-0~1intrepid~ppaX, does that seem like a reasonable scheme ?06:23
detbasically, RA0F's scheme, except prepend a number to the codename06:24
LaserJockwhy would you do that?06:24
detseems like a bad idea to depend on the sort order of the codename06:25
LaserJockthat's why the codenames sort06:25
Mithrandirbetter use the release version, then.06:25
detfor now :-)06:25
detthey cant do that forever06:25
detand they didnt always sort in the past06:25
LaserJocksince breezy06:25
detrelease version is a good idea, thanks06:25
detXXX-0~8.04~ppaX and XXX-0~8.10~ppaX it is06:26
Amaranthguaranteed to work until the year 300006:26
detAnyways, after Zany Zebra, this sorting system breaks down06:27
detand I dont like to use things that are fundamentally broken06:27
detand not until year 300006:27
StevenKAmaranth: Further, since we only minus 200006:27

detA Replaces B; A Conflicts with B; New dummy package of B that depends on A10:33
cjwatsonfor a single package with no complicating dependencies from elsewhere, Conflicts+Replaces+Provides should do it; the Provides may not always be necessary10:33
cjwatsonslangasek is right that there are cases that can only be solved by a dummy package, though - apt doesn't always work it out10:33

slangasekjakon: can you test the 0.109-0hardy2 package once it's built and available in hardy-proposed?13:26

mib_uo1mgbbshi17:18
mib_uo1mgbbsanyone familiar with ext4? may I use ext4 as logical drive?17:19
cjwatsonmib_uo1mgbbs: ext4 is independent of whether you're using primary or logical partitions (so "yes")17:20
mib_uo1mgbbsthe funny thing is while i'm installing xubuntu 9.04, I choose ext4 as logical drive cos my primary drive is winxp, the partioner dunno for what reason is showing ext317:22
mib_uo1mgbbscan anyone enlighten me?17:25
calcugh my laptop just died i think17:25

LaserJockcalc: hard drive?17:28
calcLaserJock: no it just went black showed a bunch of blue crap on the screen then didn't respond, its rebooting ok though17:28

calcmib_uo1mgbbs: mount?17:29
mib_uo1mgbbsi need to restart my computer to boot xubuntu17:31
cjwatsonmib_uo1mgbbs: there was a known partitioner bug that may have caused that kind of symptom; make sure you're running an absolutely current daily build17:35
cjwatsonmaxb: really shouldn't be relevant in the installer, I believe I've caught everything17:35
cjwatsonmib_uo1mgbbs: if you're encountering this with a current daily build, please don't ... reboot17:37
cjwatsonbah in excelsis17:37
calci think the fuse ntfs support is a bit buggy, my drive claimed to be full when i used around half of it17:42
calcso i reformatted it as ext317:42
calcwell didn't really claim to be full but refused to allow me to write any more to it in any case17:43
cody-somervillecalc, that could be due to an error causing it to remount as ro17:43
calcgot a bunch of cp: cannot create regular file "foo" Operation not supported messages17:43
calchmm maybe it remounted during the middle of the copy, not certain17:44
calcit copied about 390GB of 500 to do when it showed those17:44
cjwatsonEOPNOTSUPP is rather unusual and does *not* mean "disk full"17:47
cjwatsonntfs-3g appears to return it basically when it gets garbage requests17:48
calchmm ok17:48
calcit did that for cp and mkdir, etc17:48
cjwatsonNg: I'm trying to work out what's happening in this bug of yours - it seems that there may be multiple problems17:57
cjwatsonNg: can you tell me what you did at the ignore/cancel prompt?17:57
siretartlool: err, how comes that the translations are THAT broken?18:00
Ngcjwatson: I tried both, neither took me to any kind of disk selection thing, they'd just bounce me to the menu (I assumed that Ignore was thinking I just had a strange disk and I'd fix it up with partman, but partman clearly didn't want to run)18:00
Notch-1anybody knows what means "unexpectedly too meny pseudo-links" from aufs? i'm using kubuntu intrepid in live mode with persistence file (with both -7 and -9 kernel)18:00
siretartlool: and does this also happens with the translations provided by upstream?18:00
cjwatsonsiretart: separate bug we're investigating18:00
cjwatsonnevertheless it is still a xine bug (and probably a security flaw)18:00
cjwatsongettext and gcc provide facilities to test for this, which for some reason didn't manage to fire in this case18:01
cjwatsongcc handles it under -Wformat-security18:01
siretartusers can override the paths gettext uses?18:01
cjwatsontranslations should not be considered fully trusted anyway; show me a maintainer who reads every line of every translation they merge18:01
mvomdz: a fixed upgrader is now availabe (for the bug you mentioned earlier18:01
Ngcjwatson: I think my suggestion would be that if partman fails to run and there are other disks in the system, offer to choose one, or maybe add that as a third option in Ignore/Cancel18:02
siretartsure. I'm just wondering about the severity of the issue. and if that would warrant updating released versions of xine-lib18:02
cjwatsonNg: Ignore should do just that18:02
loolsiretart: I don't think so18:02
Nghrm18:02
cjwatsonit doesn't need a third option which basically just means Ignore18:02
loolsiretart: No18:02
Ngcjwatson: perhaps it's something special about the disks being under /dev/cciss/ that confuses it?18:03
cjwatsonNg: I doubt it18:03
cjwatsonsiretart: I was under the impression that TEXTDOMAINDIR overrode such things18:04
cjwatsonthough I have not checked; but in any case I don't think that's relevant18:04
Ngcjwatson: hmm, ok. well I've pulled the unused card out of the machine so I could actually install it, so we do have the card floating about and could probably drop it into similar hardware to reproduce it again18:04
cjwatsonNg: I expect there are multiple bugs here really, I'm just trying to break it down18:04
mdzmvo: I will test, thanks18:04
cjwatsonNg: in particular there seems to be a bug in partman's error handling, which is why I asked what you selected18:06
cjwatsonI may have introduced that recently18:06
cjwatsonNg: after that, partman will have been completely buggered which probably explains the later problems18:07
Ngah :)18:07
Notch-1also, casper seem to boot only if i unplug & replug the pendrive first, otherwise i got dropped to a shell... i'm at 4th trial...18:07
Notch-1what is casper-snapshot for? i'm reading the man page but still i don't understand :P18:14
Notch-1it's used to enable the home persistence? or i can simply put a home-rw named empty image to the pendrive and boot?18:17
siretartlool: 19:18:30 < _ds_> ISTM that the second half of the patch is broken anyway: looks like the wrong xine_log is patched.18:22
siretartlool: perhaps you could join #xine/oftc and discuss it directly with darren?18:23
Ngcjwatson: huh, looks like the next machine on my list has the same hardware. Is there anything I can do RightNow to provide more information? otherwise I need to yank that card too ;)18:31

rtgkirkland: after selecting the encrypted home option, I'm curious why I still have a .Private ecryptfs mount. Is this expected behavior?18:46
kirklandrtg: that's where your encrypted data goes18:47
kirklandrtg: /home/rtg/.Private gets mounted on /home/rtg18:47
rtgkirkland: What does encrypted home mean? I thought it would supersede .Private18:48
kirklandrtg: yes18:48
kirklandrtg: ALL of /home/rtg will be mounted on /home/rtg/.Private18:49
kirklandrtg: we just need a place to put your encrypted data18:49
kirklandrtg: and that place is /home/rtg/.Private (for lack of a better place to put it)18:49
rtgkirkland: that makes my head hurt. how can I mount on a directory that is within the filesystem being mounted?18:49
kirklandrtg: easily.  by just doing it.18:50
rtgugh.18:50
kirklandrtg: where would you prefer this data?18:50
kirklandrtg: alternatively, we could mount /home/rtg on top of /home/rtg18:50
rtgkirkland: no preference, I'm just confused.18:51
kirklandrtg: but i found that even more confusing18:51
rtgperhaps my understanding of file name spaces is insufficient.18:51
kirklandrtg: sorry, am i being to terse?18:51
kirklandtoo terse?18:52
kirklandrtg: when your encrypted home is unmounted18:52
kirklandrtg: your home data is unvailable18:52
rtgkirkland: speaking of file names, in what state is Halcrow's filename encryption patch?18:52
kirklandrtg: your unmount /home/rtg dir is perm'd 50018:52
kirklandrtg: so you can't write anything inadvertantly there18:52
kirklandrtg: you have a couple of symlinks in that dir18:53
rtgkirkland: ok, I'll ssh as root and mess with it.18:53
kirklandrtg: pointing to your .ecryptfs meta data18:53
rtgyeah, in /var/lib18:53
kirklandrtg: and a README.txt telling you that your home data is not mounted18:53
kirklandrtg: when you do mount your encrypted home dir18:53
kirklandrtg: the stuff in /var/lib/ecryptfs/rtg is used to basically do:18:54
kirklandrtg: mount -t ecryptfs /home/rtg/.Private /home/rtg18:54
kirklandrtg: and then all of your data is decrypted through that mountpoint for you18:54
kirklandrtg: and .Private is masked from your view18:55
kirklandrtg: which keeps you from farting around inside of there18:55
rtgits the mount abstraction that I found confusing. I didn't know you could do that.18:55
kirklandrtg: yup yup18:55
rtgcool. how about file name encryption?18:55
Ngcjwatson: probably unnecessary, but just to confirm, the hardware boots fine post-install if I put the empty controller card back in18:56
kirklandrtg: i'm pinging tyhicks18:56
cjwatsonNg: yeah, I'm sure it's just parted. I'm probably not going to do anything more withit until tomorrow though, sorry18:56
kirklandrtg: it's been the salting of filenames that has given them trouble18:57
Notch-1excuse me, the .Private dir is really mounted on /home/userhome ?? i tried the encripted home only in ubuntu studio but it seem simply to mount the encrypted dir in /home/userhome/.Private, what i'm missing?18:57
cjwatson*with it18:57
kirklandrtg: i'll send tyler an email, and cc you on it, asking for status, and the possibility/difficulty of us carrying it18:57
Ngcjwatson: that's fine. I may well come back here tomorrow anyway. I'm not done and it's reassuring to be here in person for random acts of madness ;)18:57
kirklandrtg: <tyhicks> kirkland: I got an email saying they were removed from morton's tree and placed in linus' tree18:58
rtgNotch-1: don't confuse the Intrepid Private option with Jaunty encrypted home. they look quite similar. Hence the previous discussion.18:58
rtgkirkland: no shit, I'll go look.18:58
kirklandrtg: this is without salts18:58
kirklandrtg: so this is more like "filename obsfucation"18:59
rtgkirkland: so, encrypted but crackable 'cause all filenames use the same key?18:59
Notch-1ah ok thanks, so jaunty has the entire home encrypted while intrepid use only the .Private dir, right?18:59
rtgNotch-1: correct18:59
Notch-1thanks18:59
Notch-1excuse me, another flash question: to enable loop-aes i can simply use module-assistant?19:00
rtgNotch-1: I believe you can choose to _not_ encrypt home, then install ecryptfs-utils later on in order to encrypt just .Private.19:00
rtgkirkland: true? ^^19:00
calcinteresting it appears sparc wanted to build OOo this time19:01
Notch-1nono, i prefere entire home encrypted, thanks :P19:01
rtgNotch-1: well, that has performance implications of you're a developer.19:01
rtgs/of/if/19:01
Notch-1you mean with entire home encrypted or with loop-aes module?19:03
rtgNotch-1: entire home19:03
Notch-1oh sure, it's not a big deal for me...19:04
kirklandrtg: that's absolutely true19:05
kirklandrtg: encrypting just Private will still be supported19:05
kirklandrtg: useful for auto-login systems, for instance19:05
rtgkirkland: you'd just about have to for the dist-upgrade case.19:06
kirklandrtg: where you want to automatically login, but not mount up your documents until you need them19:06
kirklandrtg: i'm going to *try* and get a live migration script working19:06
kirklandrtg: i have it written down on paper; not implemented it19:06
kirklandrtg: will probably hack on it on the plane over to Munich19:06

jdstrandheh.. openssl-blacklist is pretty big23:38
slangasekjdstrand, kees: so anybody who hasn't been ignoring security updates in 8.04 for 9 months, or has upgraded to intrepid, already has the fix; the only case not covered is "people who never install security updates and are going to jump straight to 10.04 LTS"23:39

slangasekwell, if we drop it below a depends, the ssl-cert postinst can't use it anymore23:40
keesKeybuk: though I did have to run it with -c /dev/null or something23:40
slangasekso we might as well drop it out completely; other packages that use ssl certs still depend on it, e.g. openvpn23:40

keesKeybuk: yeah,  ifrename -c /dev/null -i OLDif -n NEWif23:41
keesKeybuk: anyway, that doesn't matter so much atm.  do you have any idea what caused the problem with my net rule?23:42
slangasekkees, jdstrand, cjwatson: should we maybe leave a debconf note in place, so that if the user *was* still upgrading from an old version of ssl-cert, they at least get a warning?23:45
jdstrandslangasek: seems a long shot that no updates were made in those two years, but it would probably be best23:47
cjwatsonslangasek: if it's straightforward to detect the situation without the blacklist, yes23:47
jdstrandslangasek: actually-- isn't an upgrade required before doing a do-release-upgrade?23:47
