ScottKI wish if someone were going to do a complete giveback of all the build failures in the archive (I think that's what's happened) they'd have given some warning.  I certainly wouldn't have spent all the time over the last 3 week carefully picking through for retries worth doing.01:49
ScottKIf LP is at all right this'll take two weeks to build out.01:54
wgrantScottK: Keep in mind that lots of stuff will likely fail early.01:55
ScottKTrue.01:55
ScottKI realize it'll likely be much less.01:55
wgrantAnd hppa and sparc are special.01:55
ScottKActually I think most of what's there will fail.  I wasn't kidding about spending the last 3 weeks going through failures looking for stuff to retry.01:56
ScottKJust finished today.01:56
wgrantOh wow. That's a lot of queued builds...01:56
ScottKYes.  It's a retry on every single FTBFS for Jaunty.01:57
directhexany way to abort the attempted rebuilds?01:57
wgrantNot without SQL access.01:57
bluefoxicyis it possible to package VirtualBox OSE on Ubuntu CDs such that they run from INSIDE WINDOWS when you pop them in?01:58
ScottKhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+builds?build_text=&build_state=failed doesn't know about a FTBFS more than ~1 hour old.01:58
bluefoxicyseeing as QT is GPL now01:58
directhexbluefoxicy, not sensibly. need drivers & reboots to install virtualbox on windows01:58
ScottKbluefoxicy: Qt has been GPL for year.01:59
ScottKyears even.01:59
bluefoxicyscottK:  It's always had a restrictive Windows license01:59
ScottKbluefoxicy: How is that even possible.01:59
bluefoxicyWell, a commercial entity controlled Qt01:59
ScottKIt can't be GPL unless you run Windows.01:59
ScottKThat's not GPL.02:00
bluefoxicyso they published the Linux version as GPL, and patched it to run on Windows but only distributed binaries of that, under a restrictive license02:00
ScottKI suspect what you're thinking of is it's now LGPL.02:00
bluefoxicypossibly02:00
ScottKI don't think so.02:00
bluefoxicymy brain may be busted.02:00
ScottKYou can run KDE on Windows with no problem.02:00
bluefoxicyI know the Linux version had a different license02:00
directhexScottK, the qt3 license certainly used to be gpl-or-proprietary, with the windows port only available as proprietary. there were efforts to port the gpl version, but they, erm, sucked02:00
ScottKOK.  Qt3 is not been developed in a long time.02:01
directhexdidn't say it was. just sayin'...02:01
ScottKFor Qt3 I think you're correct.02:01
bluefoxicydirecthex:  also there's lots of install-and-run software (openoffice) on the Ubuntu CDs02:01
bluefoxicywouldn't installing a driver fall under install-and-run?02:01
ScottKLicensing for Qt3 hasn't changed.02:02
bluefoxicyand preconfigure the installed VBox to have a "boot LiveCD with 384M RAM" option02:02
ScottKLicensing for Qt4.4 hasn't changed either.  LGPL is only Qt4.5.02:02
* ScottK isn't kidding about being disheartened about a couple of dozen hours of work over the last several weeks turning out to be totally unnecessary.02:04
directhexthe blanket rebuild must've been queued y someone who doesn't pay their server power bills02:05
ScottKThis does cause some actual problems for how we'd planned on doing the KDE 4.2.1 upload next week.02:08
ScottKUrgh.02:08
ScottKSo far 2 successes, 252 failures.02:12
directhexScottK, totally worthwhile!02:13
wgrantScottK: How do you calculate that?02:15
wgrantThere's no way to sort builds lists, AFAICT.02:15
wgrantAh, through +history?02:16
ScottKhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+builds?build_text=&build_state=built and python-cjson was a fresh upload.02:16
ScottKAny success after that is the retries02:16
AquinaShort westion: Where are these outputs on system startup generated? I wanna modify them.02:16
ScottKAnd then all of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+builds?build_text=&build_state=failed are from the retries02:17
wgrantThere's nothing after that.02:17
wgrantOh. WTF.02:17
wgrantWhy does it sort differently depending on the filter?02:17
Aquina(posted in #ubuntu before): Someone knows where the usplash messages come from? I removed the parameter "quiet" from defoptions ind menu.lst. I searched through all the /etc/init.d/ scripts but couldnt find these messages printed. Search engines didn't help. Please do you...02:18
wgrantCompare state=built and state=all.02:18
ScottKIt's interesting that the time sort isn't correct.02:18
wgrantWhich time sort?02:18
wgrantAFAICT for state != all, the key is start time.02:19
wgrantFor state == all, the key is queue time.02:19
wgrant(I think)(02:19
ScottKThe failed ones were not entirely in time sequence02:19
ScottKAll doesn't seem to show failures.02:20
ScottKAh.  That'd make sort of sense.02:20
wgrantI think it does.02:21
wgrantBut nothing queued recently has failed.02:21
ScottKBTW, every one of the build failures will land in one or two inboxes too.02:21
wgrantOh yes, I know this well.02:21
ScottKI wonder if this is revenge for me filing a bug about notification of translations success spamming my inbox.02:21
StevenKI seriously doubt that02:22
* ScottK was kidding02:22
wgrantEven I have to doubt that :P02:22
ScottKStevenK: Do you know why this was done?02:22
wgrantMass-givebacks happen.02:23
StevenKWhat wgrant said02:23
wgrantFrequently.02:23
ScottKBTW, I was looking at the failures wrong.  They are sorted by fail time.02:23
StevenKMass-givebacks are done at points throughout the cycle02:23
* wgrant likes how the distribution build failure list is preceded by empty build records created by the unembargoing process.02:28
mluser-homeAnyone know how I can disable pulseaudio system wide?02:34
wgrantmluser-home: This is not the correct channel.02:34
mluser-homewgrant: sorry02:35
wgrantYou want #ubuntu, or to realise that you don't want to disable PulseAudio system wide.02:35
mluser-homeI'm having this problem in Jaunty, and I thought #ubuntu was just for hardy and intrepid02:35
wgrant#ubuntu+1, then.02:35

CoddI just installed jaunty Alpha 5 on my machine (clean install) and I'm noticing that every once in a while cpu usage spikes for just a second and everything locks up (GUI, background tasks,mp3 playing, video, downloads) and then it all returns to normal.  If I load a complex ajax page in firefox the cpu still goes upto 99% but I don't get a lock up,   Right now it seems to occur when I play media files (xvid, mp3) I formatted usin05:37
dtchen_Codd: if the symptom is persistent when playing/recording audio, there's a known issue in the current jaunty pulseaudio package causing the daemon to spin in a tight loop due to bogus data being passed from the sound driver. it has been fixed in a bzr branch and will land in the next upload.05:40
Codddtchen_: sweet it does look like pulseaudio is bouncing around alot in top, I guess since the system was freezing up I didn't see it peak :)  I'm loving the new release though, keep up the amazing work!05:47

fargiolascjwatson: I usually don't ask for support here. it was a particular case where I needed to know a thing that only the involved ubuntu developer could know so I asked here. I could have probably found the answer myself but I was tired after hours fighting with a broken windows installation and not able to concentrate anymore, this could also explain why I may have seemed unpolite.08:06
fargiolascjwatson: also I still believe it was not a support question. It was more a question about an ubuntu-specific implementation detail. I'm really sorry I was OT here.. I did it in good faith.08:15

ion_dpkg dependencies don’t allow one to depend on (ruby1.8, libjson-ruby1.8) OR ruby1.9, do they?16:34
directhexyou could work around that with a metapackage16:35
directhexi.e. myapp-ruby1.8 | ruby1.9, where myapp-ruby1.8 has no contents & only a dep on ruby1.8, libjson-ruby1.816:36
directhexor wouldn't a dep on libjson-ruby1.8 pull in ruby1.8?16:36
ion_Nope, only libruby1.8, which doesn’t include the binary.16:36
iloweDo Ubuntu devs prefer to receive new packages into Ubuntu or should they go upstream to the Debian repos first?17:25
directhexilowe, generally, the latter17:25
ilowedirecthex: thanks; so I should follow the procedure to get the package accepted into Debian and it will just get pulled down into Ubuntu (in theory at some point in the future)?17:26
directhexilowe, that's the best way for everyone - so debian & debian-based dists also gain from your work17:27
directhexilowe, but delays can sometimes make it a sucky route17:27
iloweCool, thanks. I'll start with that and see how the delays go :)17:28
directhexilowe, given where we are now, you have about 5 months for automatic syncing into ubuntu 9.1017:29
iloweyikes....it's more an issue of having the package available on my own systems; I guess I'll keep it in my local repos while it makes it's way into Ubuntu17:30
directhexilowe, yes, that can work - the ubuntu PPA system allows you to build a personal repo available to everyone17:30
ilowehmmm... then, would I propose to Debian *and* upload to a PPA? In which case would I just abandon the package in the PPA once it reaches Ubuntu?17:31
ScottKSince we're past feature freeze for 9.04 working through Debian now won't actually make it take longer.17:31
iloweScottK: I'm more trying to get a handle on how the repos get updated; not to worried about official releases17:32
directhexScottK, right now, i don't know whether i'd agree. NEW is... taking its time. assuming no delays getting as far as NEW17:32
ScottKdirecthex: It's also just after a release in Debian, so no suprise.17:33
ScottKilowe: If you get your package into Debian it will automatically come into Ubuntu in the next release.17:33

slytherinScottK: thanks for info17:53
ilowehttp://tinyurl.com/dkrvw7 states that the original package name should be <pkg>-<ver> but the resulting name should be <pkg>_<ver>; if I maintain the upstream as well, should I be naming my package <pkg>-<ver> and updating it in the .deb or can I name it <pkg>_<ver>? dh_make chokes on the "_" version when doing the initial debianization18:24
geserilowe: the upstream tarball should unpack to <pkgname>-<upstreamversion>18:28
ilowegeser: thanks18:28
geserand the tarball itself has to be named <pkgname>_<upstreamversion>.orig.tar.gz18:28
iloweOK, but that will get generated by dh_make? I have a proper <pkg>-<ver>.tar.gz file.18:29
geserthe _ is used as separator in package files18:29
geserilowe: dh_make will make then a symlink to your <pkg>-<ver>.tar.gz18:29
