| Bsims | Ran into an error upgrading I am not sure what package caused it but I got a segfault and then this upon recomended fix"dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed." | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Devin_M | can someone here help me? | 01:04 |
| Bsims | Anyone have any clue | 01:04 |
| Bsims | whats up Devin_M | 01:04 |
| Devin_M | do you know of a good programming language easy to learn and good support in ubuntu? | 01:04 |
| Bsims | Devin_M: perl or python | 01:05 |
| Devin_M | do you know of any good tools for ubuntu? compilers and such | 01:05 |
| Bsims | Devin_M: apt-get install build essential | 01:05 |
| Bsims | and get used to installing package-devel | 01:06 |
| Bsims | er -dev | 01:06 |
| Devin_M | okay, so just install build-essential, but wht do you mean by "get used to installing package-devel" | 01:07 |
| Bsims | Well the headers used to build a package from source are packaged seperate from the deb | 01:08 |
| Bsims | for example gnomelibs don't contain the headers needed to complile a gnome program | 01:08 |
| Devin_M | still not following, sorry, new to linux | 01:08 |
| directhex | Devin_M, what do you use to program currently? | 01:10 |
| Devin_M | uh, I just want to learn, my only realy experience is with vb in windows | 01:11 |
| Devin_M | and a little c/c++ | 01:11 |
| directhex | vb6 or vb.net? | 01:11 |
| Devin_M | 6 | 01:11 |
| Devin_M | I think | 01:11 |
| Devin_M | I'm pretty sure | 01:12 |
| Devin_M | but just school stuff | 01:12 |
| Devin_M | nothing big | 01:12 |
| Bsims | Devin_M: try bash to start out with, then perl | 01:13 |
| Devin_M | bash? | 01:13 |
| directhex | this isn't really the place for the question | 01:13 |
| Devin_M | I thought that stood for born again shell? | 01:14 |
| directhex | and it's a "which is better, cat or dog" question too | 01:14 |
| Devin_M | yeah, I know, but I just wanted to start somewhere | 01:14 |
| directhex | ubuntu has environments for loads of programming languages. easily tens, if not a hundred. what you want to use depends on the task at hand, and personal preference | 01:14 |
| Devin_M | I thought here was convenient | 01:14 |
| directhex | i'd advocate c#. people might disagree | 01:14 |
| savvas | Devin_M: here's a forum post with various tutorials: http://www.ubuntucy.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=708#p3569 | 01:15 |
| savvas | see which one seems better/easier for you | 01:15 |
| Devin_M | okay, thanks a lot, I really appreciate it | 01:15 |
| savvas | and since you're new, don't forget the ubuntu guide book: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ | 01:17 |
| savvas | thankfully the author provides a free pdf :) | 01:17 |
| Devin_M | yeah, I was just about to look at it, but I don't think I have and pdf viewers installed other that ooo | 01:18 |
| savvas | in ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| savvas | you have pre-installed pdf viewers | 01:18 |
| directhex | evince. | 01:18 |
| Devin_M | oh, oka | 01:18 |
| Devin_M | okay* | 01:18 |
| Devin_M | good to know | 01:19 |
| Devin_M | is bash the same as the terms and commands used in the terminal? | 01:39 |
| kolby | is there a REVU channel? | 01:42 |
| kolby | #revu didn't work | 01:43 |
| mrooney | kolby: I think you want #ubuntu-motu | 01:43 |
| kolby | thanks | 01:44 |
| * lamont pounds his head on the desk | 01:46 | |
| lamont | so... how do I convince d-i that the install of the base system succeeded, now that I've finished doing its job for it? | 01:46 |
| * lamont pokes slangasek | 01:47 | |
| slangasek | um | 01:47 |
| lamont | seems that 8.04.2 lacks linux-restricted-modules$mumble-hppa32, so the install FAILS | 01:47 |
| slangasek | hotwiring the postinst of whatever script was supposed to do it? | 01:47 |
| lamont | yeah. it's the "whatever script" that's the question | 01:48 |

| lamont | outside the /target, yes? | 01:48 |

| ebroder | Hmm...so hardy-backports has Xen 3.3, but ubuntu-xen-server in hardy explicitly depends on Xen 3.2 components. Who gets the bug? Backports? The xvm-meta package? | 11:03 |
| Hobbsee | ebroder: backports | 11:04 |
| * Hobbsee mumbles about crackports, and how stuff's obviously not getting tested properly before going through? | 11:04 | |
| Hobbsee | ebroder: basically, if it's not a problem with the latest release (usually the release it was backported from), it's a bug for backports. | 11:07 |
| ebroder | Ok. And...if I'm going to propose a fix, what should I use for a version number? Hardy has 0.0.1-2ubuntu8, and Intrepid has 0.0.1-2ubuntu9, so 0.0.1-2ubuntu8hardy1 or something? | 11:08 |
| ebroder | (Also, why on earth isn't this a Debian-native package?) | 11:09 |
| Hobbsee | ebroder: 0.0.1-2ubuntu9~hardy1 is the usual convention, as far as i know | 11:24 |

| ziroday | Hi, does anyone know what might have happened to the welcome slideshow that was supposadly targeted for jaunty according to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/136/ or who I might want to talk to? | 16:28 |

| ziroday | superm1: awesome, thanks! | 16:42 |
| DktrKranz | cjwatson, re bug 323413, it seems it hasn't been synced correctly, I still see old version in LP. | 17:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 323413 in missingpy "Please sync missingpy 0.10.0.2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)." [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/323413 | 17:09 |
| ScottK | jelmer: I wouldn't think so. | 17:24 |
| ScottK | jelmer: Although if you wrote sufficient documentation in README.Source, it might. | 17:25 |
| jelmer | ScottK: Ok, so no particular reason other than the fact that it's not listed atm? | 17:26 |
| ScottK | jelmer: It's not really a patch system. | 17:26 |
| sharperguy | anyone here know if/when we might see python3-tk in jaunty? (sorry if this is the wrong place to ask) | 17:26 |
| jelmer | ScottK: Looms? They're pretty similar to quilt, just more integrated with the VCS | 17:27 |
| ScottK | I don't really know about them as I'm a pretty basic bzr user. | 17:28 |
| ScottK | One can use a lot of different tools, but using relatively obscure ways to solve common problems is not, IMO, generally good. | 17:28 |
| ScottK | It makes it harder for whoever comes along next to touch the package. | 17:28 |
| jelmer | ScottK: Well, Ubuntu seems to be moving in this particular direction | 17:29 |
| ScottK | We have future plans, but I don't recall looms being mentioned in the specs. | 17:30 |
| jelmer | NoMoreSourcePackages mentions it | 17:31 |
| ScottK | OK. I missed that then. | 17:32 |
| ScottK | Today, stuff like that will narrow the range of people who will/can work on the package. | 17:32 |

| * DktrKranz hugs cjwatson, sorry for bothering you during weekend | 18:26 | |
| cjwatson | jelmer,ScottK: I would say that since it's perfectly valid to use no patch system at all, it's also valid to use looms, *provided* that you take responsibility for merging in changes made by people who don't know how to drive it. | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | (i.e. people might upload changes not represented in the loom) | 18:26 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: Sounds reasonable to me. | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | there are probably people today who have packages in a revision control system which isn't publicly usable, which is sort of equivalent (I certainly do for some of my Debian packages, although I'm trying to move them all to bzr) | 18:27 |

| lool | I'm about to push ubuntu-meta to update the dep on hwtest-gtk to checkbox-gtk; hope that's ok | 20:27 |
| lool | (WRT A4) | 20:27 |
| pochu | hi lool :) | 20:27 |
| lool | Hey | 20:27 |
| lool | pochu: how is it going? | 20:27 |
| pochu | lool: quite good. almost finished my exams | 20:28 |
| lool | Oh nice | 20:28 |
| pochu | and I'm starting to learn C :) | 20:28 |
| lool | Eh, is certainly useful around what you package :) | 20:28 |
| pochu | yeah :) | 20:28 |
| pochu | the bad news are that my AM seems to have gone MIA ;) | 20:29 |
| lool | Ah; hopefully not for too long or you'll get a new one | 20:29 |
| lool | Hmm how useful | 20:29 |
| lool | raise RuntimeError('Unable to retrieve package list from debootstrap: %s' % debootstrap_stdout) | 20:29 |
| lool | RuntimeError: Unable to retrieve package list from debootstrap: | 20:29 |
| lool | But then I'm not up-to-date due to checkbox/hwcheck; vicious circle | 20:31 |
| ogra | lool, did you deliberately wait until slangasek stepped on the train to do that meta update ? :) | 20:38 |
| ogra | err | 20:39 |
| ogra | plane indeed | 20:39 |
| sharperguy | Right I'm trying to add the "Replaces:" line to the package python3.0 (which I think might be why idle-python3 isn't installable) but everytime I run "debuild -S" it undoes the changes... | 20:42 |
| lool | ogra: I think it breaks upgrades; didn't you get that issue when upgrading to checkbox? | 20:42 |
| lool | I'd rather unbreak them before A4 | 20:43 |
| ogra | lool, i shamefully admit that my lappie still runs intrepid | 20:43 |
| lool | wow | 20:43 |
| sistpoty | sharperguy: maybe control is generated from e.g. control.in? | 20:44 |
| sharperguy | sistpoty, yeah that might make sense (I'm new to packaging) | 20:45 |
| ogra | lool, i'll do my upgrade from the local mirror in berlin | 20:45 |
| sistpoty | sharperguy: maybe #ubuntu-motu might be a better place to ask that questions ;) | 20:45 |
| sharperguy | ah ok ty | 20:46 |
| sistpoty | you're welcome, sharperguy: | 20:46 |
| bluefoxicy | so when this thing says "restart session" | 20:51 |
| bluefoxicy | as in, you go to share a folder, it installs samba, and says "You need to restart your session in order to enable sharing" | 20:51 |
| bluefoxicy | what does it mean, "Session"? | 20:51 |
| bluefoxicy | ... log-in session? | 20:52 |
| lool | Hmm even after upgrading, ./update files | 20:52 |
| lool | *fails | 20:52 |
| * lool runs germinate manually | 20:52 | |
| lool | Hmm worked; weird | 20:57 |
| lool | No special changes in debootstrap and germinate | 20:57 |
| lool | Uhoh, my install is seriously hosed | 21:09 |
| pochu | lool: that's why ogra still runs Intrepid :) | 21:16 |
| ogra | lool, perfect for a day before the sprint :P | 21:16 |
| lool | I was fearing all my python modules were broken, but actually I just hit two bugs | 21:17 |
| lool | It seems I can't ./update because debootstrap returns an error code, but doesn't output anything | 21:18 |
| lool | Weird, it runs: ['debootstrap', '--arch', 'amd64', '--print-debs', 'jaunty', 'debootstrap-dir', 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/'] | 21:20 |
| lool | And that works fine here | 21:20 |
| ogra | hmm | 21:22 |
| * lool tries agian withing python | 21:23 | |
| lool | Printing stderr this time | 21:23 |
| lool | Oh I wonder whether it's just archive.u.c failing from time to time | 21:23 |
| lool | I get many errors recently | 21:23 |
| ogra | yep | 21:26 |
| lool | Yeah, it passed amd64 fine; so it must be transient issues with archive.u.c :-/ | 21:26 |
| ogra | i noticed that too | 21:26 |
| ogra | apparently loaded ... though i wonder what causes the load | 21:26 |
| elmo | ogra: the kernel security updates | 21:26 |
| ogra | probably 8.04.2 | 21:26 |
| elmo | no | 21:26 |
| ogra | ah | 21:26 |
| slangasek | ogra, lool: heh | 22:06 |
| slangasek | what broke, exactly? Anything I can help with? | 22:06 |
| slangasek | (The Portland Mafia have a 5-hour layover here in JFK) | 22:06 |
| ogra | something about the change from hwtest-gtk to checkbox-gtk | 22:07 |
| lool | slangasek: Mailed you | 22:07 |
| slangasek | ok - wasn't sure if that mail was from before or after something being broken :) | 22:08 |
| lool | slangasek: The actual problem I had on IRC earlier seemed to be due to archive.u.c slowness | 22:08 |
| slangasek | ah | 22:08 |
| lool | slangasek: hwcheck was fragile and hwcheck -> checkbox made this obvious; I'm hoping that making the move to checkbox easier will help | 22:08 |
| lool | Which is why I was trying to push an ubuntu-meta if it's still not too late | 22:08 |
| slangasek | yeah, not too late at all; merging ubuntu-meta is a normal part of the milestone process anyway :) | 22:09 |
| slangasek | lool: was the libwmf addition yours, or just something pulled in when you ./update-d? | 22:10 |
| sistpoty | tjaalton: libdrm, I just saw http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21861310/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-powerpc.mesa_7.3-1ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz... will the new version fix that and I only need to click on rebuild for mesa? | 22:10 |
| slangasek | ah, Riddell's addition | 22:11 |
| slangasek | Riddell: why did you add libwmf0.2-7-gtk to the desktop seed, exactly? Your bzr changelog includes no rationale | 22:12 |
| slangasek | Riddell: libraries should normally be pulled in by the packages that need them instead of being directly seeded, surely? | 22:13 |
| sistpoty | tjaalton: ah, obviously not... I'll add the depends back on any for linux-libc-dev... ok? (or bryce)? | 22:13 |
| lool | slangasek: No, Riddell split libwmf because of the gtk dep it has, but I mailed him that it should probably be seeded if we want to keep the same functionality | 22:14 |
| lool | slangasek: libwmf0.2-7-gtk is a gtk module to load wmf files | 22:15 |
| slangasek | right | 22:15 |
| slangasek | ok, all makes sense now :) | 22:15 |
| lool | libwmf0.2-7 is pulled anyway, so for a marginal size we get support in gtk for them in gtk seeds | 22:15 |
| lool | Such as thumbnails etc | 22:15 |
| lool | Or eog | 22:15 |
| sistpoty | crap, I'm still at -0ubuntu2... damn mirror lag *g* | 22:16 |
| sistpoty | (drm) | 22:16 |
| lool | slangasek: (pushed ubuntu-meta) | 22:17 |
| slangasek | cheers | 22:17 |
| lool | mailed cjwatson | 22:17 |
| sistpoty | ScottK (or bryce): second opinion about libdrm... I dropped the arch specific linux-libc-dev and have it require on all arches, so that mesa should build... however I can't say I know what I'm doing right now definitely, so I'd like to hear a second opinion | 22:22 |
| ScottK | sistpoty: It was versioned before it was dropped. | 22:22 |
| lool | sistpoty: We need the versionned dep where possible | 22:22 |
| sistpoty | ScottK, lool: good point, thanks! | 22:23 |
| lool | sistpoty: I'm not sure what you mean, did you see libdrm 2.4.4-0ubuntu3? | 22:23 |
| sistpoty | lool: yep | 22:23 |
| lool | Is there anything to fix after it? | 22:23 |
| slangasek | who here has a panasonic, sony, toshiba, asus, or IBM (not Lenovo) laptop running jaunty? | 22:23 |
| ScottK | lool: But then when I rebuilt mesa on the ports archs it couldn't find drm.h | 22:23 |
| slangasek | (with hotkeys) | 22:23 |
| lool | ScottK: Right, the problem is that it's in the kernel | 22:24 |
| lool | now | 22:24 |
| sistpoty | lool: but the dependency on linux-libc-dev was dropped for anything not amd64 armel i386 | 22:24 |
| lool | So we would have to install drm.h from libdrm on the other arches | 22:24 |
| sistpoty | lool: which I guess is what makes mesa FTBFS on other arches | 22:24 |
| ScottK | So how does dropping the build-dep help us then. | 22:24 |
| lool | But the best fix is really to uploda linux-libc-dev on these arches instead | 22:24 |
| lool | The problem is that linux-libc-dev is lagging on all other arches | 22:24 |
| slangasek | lagging, or stuck in NEW? | 22:25 |
| slangasek | oh, you're talking -ports | 22:25 |
| sistpoty | lool: ah, so if it were built, it could make libdrm built on the other arches and then mesa would build fine? | 22:25 |
| sistpoty | slangasek: yep | 22:25 |
| lool | sistpoty: yes | 22:26 |
| lool | slangasek: Right ports kernel lagging | 22:27 |
| sistpoty | lool: do you see any problem with requiring linux-libc-dev now? (as libdrm-dev 3 is already built?) | 22:27 |
| sistpoty | -3 even | 22:27 |
| slangasek | no panasonic toshiba sony asus IBM? :) | 22:27 |
| lool | sistpoty: ? | 22:27 |
| ScottK | I see an lpia kernel in New but that's it. | 22:28 |
| slangasek | everyone here is Dell and Lenovo then? :) | 22:28 |
| lool | sistpoty: I think linux-libc-dev is still too old on the other arches | 22:28 |
| slangasek | c'mon, people, help me kill off acpi-support | 22:28 |
| sistpoty | lool: well, libdrm would sort this via its version... | 22:28 |
| sistpoty | lool: (>= 2.6.28-5.15) | 22:28 |
| lool | sistpoty: It's going to cause other problems downstream | 22:28 |
| sistpoty | lool: as in? | 22:29 |
| lool | sistpoty: Let's not spend any effort in a hackish solution; the solution is clear | 22:29 |
| sistpoty | lool: but what is the solution? | 22:29 |
| lool | sistpoty: Solution is to update the ports kernel | 22:29 |
| lool | which will update the headers and you can restore the drm bdep | 22:29 |
| sistpoty | lool: oh, and that didn't happen yet? | 22:29 |
| lool | err dep | 22:29 |
| lool | sistpoty: I don't see it | 22:29 |
| sistpoty | lool: ah, thanks for your insight! | 22:30 |
| ScottK | lool: Who's updating the ports kernels? | 22:30 |
| sistpoty | ScottK: so: you know what to do, but I don't touch a kernel, sorry :P | 22:30 |
| * ScottK doesn't get how the 'solution' of dropping the build-dep was any kind of solution at all. | 22:30 | |
| lool | ScottK: I have no idea; I think I saw a mention recently | 22:30 |
| lool | It seems smb might do it | 22:31 |
| lool | see thread alpine.OSF.1.99.0901292328210.384018@replicant.hut.fi | 22:31 |
| lool | http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.kernel.general/3536 | 22:31 |
| ScottK | lool: On what list? | 22:31 |
| ScottK | Ah. | 22:31 |
| ScottK | Thanks. | 22:31 |
| sistpoty | lool: but out of interest, would it break anything if the arch dependency was dropped from libdrm? Imo it just wouldn't build due to the versioned build-dep... right? | 22:31 |
| lool | sistpoty: What do you propose exactly, sorry I'm not sure I understand | 22:32 |
| lool | sistpoty: We need the dependency, it was removed for some arches to make libdrm-dev installable | 22:32 |
| sistpoty | lool: currently there's: linux-libc-dev (>= 2.6.28-5.15) [i386 amd64 (maybe others)] | 22:32 |
| sistpoty | lool: so I propose to get rid of the arch requirement | 22:32 |
| sistpoty | (in build-deps) | 22:33 |
| lool | Yes, it should be linux-libc-dev (>= 2.6.28-5.15) in an ideal world, but until linux-ports is uploaded it's best to keep it like that | 22:33 |
| lool | sistpoty: It was without the arch specification | 22:33 |
| lool | These were addedd | 22:33 |
| sistpoty | lool: yes... but still, I don't see where it would break anything... it just would be in dep-wait for other arches, right? | 22:33 |
| ScottK | It seems like adding the arch specification just traded not installable for not actually useful. | 22:34 |
| lool | Anyway current situation is broken, what you propose was the previous situation which was also broken without linux-libc-dev on the other arches | 22:34 |
| lool | ScottK: Exactly | 22:34 |
| lool | So let's not trade back and forth, just need a linux-ports upload | 22:34 |
| ScottK | So color me a little frustrated at this response to the discussion at the release team meeting. | 22:34 |
| lool | ? | 22:34 |
| ScottK | It may be coindence, but we discussed this problem at the release team meeting yesterday. | 22:35 |
| lool | I didn't pay attention to that part I'm afraid | 22:35 |
| ScottK | I assume that upload less than a day later is related. | 22:35 |
| * sistpoty won't do kernel ports, for sure :P | 22:35 | |
| ScottK | I could be wrong. | 22:35 |
| * ScottK neither. | 22:35 | |
| lool | ScottK: You mean the libdrm upload? | 22:36 |
| ScottK | Yeah | 22:36 |
| ScottK | That added the per-arch specification on the build-dep | 22:36 |
| lool | tjaalton wasn't in that meeeting | 22:36 |
| ScottK | Maybe coincidence then. | 22:37 |
| ScottK | Does the lpia kernel in New solve it for LPIA? | 22:37 |
| lool | Also, I'm not sure why "bdep" gets mentionned, as far as I know it's a dep | 22:37 |
| lool | ScottK: Quite certainly | 22:37 |
| lool | Hmm actually it depends whether the packaging was really merged | 22:38 |
| ScottK | Right, Dep, not build-dep. | 22:38 |
| * lool checks | 22:38 | |
| ScottK | slangasek: Any chance you could use some of your layover to get the lpia kernel out of New. That'd give us at least one more arch to try and get working. | 22:38 |
| ScottK | Ah. | 22:39 |
| * ScottK waits. | 22:39 | |
| lool | ScottK: What was uploaded is a linux-lpia-meta right? It wont help the linux-libc-headers | 22:39 |
| ScottK | Yes. That's what is it. | 22:40 |
| ScottK | slangasek: Never mind ... | 22:40 |
| ScottK | is it/it is | 22:40 |
| * lool grabs linux-libc-dev_2.6.28-1.2_lpia.deb | 22:41 | |
| lool | It has drm | 22:41 |
| lool | So it should be fine to also let libdrm-dev dep on linux-libc-dev (>= foo) on lpia | 22:41 |
| lool | Probably tjaalton didn't know about the special lpia tree | 22:42 |
| sistpoty | lool: sorry to bother you again, but what would be wrong with uploading a librm, which drops the arch-specific b-d on linux-libc-dev? wouldn't it just wait in dep-wait for the arches that don't have a fitting kernel yet? (as the version on the b-d would still be there)? | 22:46 |
| lool | sistpoty: Build-depends? | 22:46 |
| sistpoty | lool: yep | 22:46 |
| lool | I see no such build-depend | 22:46 |
| lool | Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.0), libx11-dev, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.19), quilt (>= 0.40), automake, libtool, pkg-config, libpthread-stubs0-dev | 22:46 |
| ScottK | I think going back to that would be better as the arch specific change didn't actually help. | 22:46 |
| sistpoty | lool: erm, sorry, depends | 22:47 |
| ScottK | My fault. | 22:47 |
| lool | ScottK: They help installability | 22:47 |
| sistpoty | lool: but that wouldn't help ports, would it? | 22:48 |
| ScottK | In that case we'll need to upload and change the archs as they are done. | 22:48 |
| lool | sistpoty: it might for builds which pull libdrm-dev and don't use it | 22:48 |
| ScottK | Anything the does that is buggy anyway. | 22:48 |
| sistpoty | lool: ah, good pointer... though I think that would be a bug in itself? | 22:49 |
| lool | I'm sorry but what are you trying to solve? The only proposal which makes all packages build again is to upload linux-ports | 22:49 |
| lool | ScottK: It's not, libdrm-dev might be pulled but might not be required in all cases | 22:49 |
| ScottK | I guess. | 22:49 |
| lool | When I say pull, it might be directly or indirectly | 22:49 |
| sistpoty | lool: that's for sure... I'm trying more or less to find out why that change was done | 22:49 |
| ScottK | Right. Forgot about indirect. | 22:49 |
| lool | having libdrm-dev might impact a lot of other packages | 22:49 |
| lool | Actually probably not | 22:50 |
| lool | It has no rdep | 22:50 |
| lool | So nevermind | 22:50 |
| sistpoty | lool: and I certainly appreciate your insight :) | 22:50 |
| lool | Ok, I'm just going to push libdrm-dev with the same change for lpia | 22:51 |
| ScottK | That'll be progess. | 22:54 |
| ScottK | I guess I do want slangasek to get lpia out of New then ... | 22:54 |
| lool | sistpoty, ScottK: documented in the new libdrm upload I just pushed | 22:54 |
| ScottK | Great. | 22:54 |
| sistpoty | lool: thanks a lot! | 23:00 |
| lool | Well that wont help you much I'm afraid :) | 23:00 |
| sistpoty | hehe | 23:00 |
| * lool & | 23:02 | |
| sistpoty | lool: but I still fail to understand, why you didn't remove all of the architectures in depends? wouldn't that help r-build-depends to fail unless a new ports-kernel was uploaded? (so that these builds could simply be clicked on retry?)? am I missing s.th.? | 23:05 |
| * sistpoty is pretty confused right now, admitted | 23:05 | |
| lool | sistpoty: We really need the version; the package is always installed anyway | 23:16 |
| sistpoty | lool: yes, but the version is either satisfied, or would cause the package to dep-wait? | 23:16 |
| lool | sistpoty: it's a dep of libc6-dev | 23:16 |
| lool | sistpoty: No idea what's best here except pushing a new linux-ports :) | 23:17 |
| lool | I don't think we should waste too much thinking in this situation | 23:18 |
| sistpoty | lool: ok, just wanted to figure out lp myself ;) | 23:18 |
| sistpoty | lool: so let's not waste any more time to it ;) | 23:18 |
| DBO | bryce, are you here? | 23:32 |
| DBO | I am playing 7 degrees of ubuntu developers and you ended up being my next stop =) I am looking for someone knowledgeable in the x dnd protocol so that I might make a window that is transparent to it | 23:33 |
| sladen | DBO: IIRC, just don't listen for DnD messages | 23:36 |
| DBO | does that work... | 23:36 |
| DBO | i can try | 23:37 |
| sladen | to make DnD work, you have to actively do something | 23:37 |
| DBO | no i want DND to go to something behind it | 23:37 |
| DBO | my window is transparent | 23:37 |
| sladen | (again, IIRC, E&OE, I haven't written an DnD app for a while) | 23:37 |
| DBO | yeah i just confirmed, it still "eats" the drag and drop event | 23:38 |
| DBO | so the window below does not get the event | 23:38 |
| DBO | it just goes into oblivion | 23:38 |
| sladen | DBO: so, if you're not transparent, but you are preventing to be, you need to proxy and pass through all the events that you're [pretending] to be transparent to (DnDrops too) | 23:43 |
| sladen | DBO: what is the application that you're trying to write? | 23:44 |
| sladen | DBO: XdndProxy may, or may not be helpful | 23:45 |
| slangasek | ScottK: we seem to only have linux-lpia-meta in NEW currently? | 23:45 |
| DBO | sladen, Docky | 23:47 |
| DBO | sladen, I am the primary author of Docky if you have any idea what that is | 23:47 |
| sladen | DBO: I'm clearly behind the times. From Googling it appears to be a Mac OS X work-alike. Is that correct? | 23:54 |
| DBO | sladen, i prefer not to think of it like that | 23:54 |
| DBO | but yeah, its like that | 23:54 |
| DBO | but its also part of GNOME Do and a full out frontend for it | 23:55 |
| DBO | but you can see where the problem comes in | 23:55 |
| sladen | DBO: so, (guessing again and pulling straws from the sky), all the crap stuck to the edges of the desktop is preventing the users getting at their real work underneath? | 23:56 |
| DBO | no, really its just dnd thats failing | 23:56 |
| DBO | input masking is working fine | 23:56 |
| DBO | if you drag something around on your desktop | 23:56 |
| DBO | and you try to drop it onto your desktop under an invisible part of the window | 23:57 |
| DBO | docky eats the event (bad) | 23:57 |
| sladen | DBO: http://standards.freedesktop.org/xembed-spec/xembed-spec-latest.html#id2447278 | 23:58 |
