| giaco | azeem, you missed the right order | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| azeem | dang | 00:03 |
| giaco | but probably you could guess one answer :-P | 00:03 |
| giaco | really, I'm reading the gdb manual to find out why the backtrace always says that the library doesn't have any debug symbol. | 00:05 |
| avb | giaco: just in case u can use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.5.070200 gdb myappname | 00:08 |
| slangasek | no, you can't | 00:08 |
| avb | why? | 00:08 |
| avb | was working all the time just fine | 00:09 |
| avb | :) | 00:09 |
| giaco | no, it just contains debug symbols | 00:09 |
| avb | ah | 00:09 |
| avb | i see | 00:09 |
| giaco | that's what I've just learned: it segfaults immediately if I preload it | 00:09 |
| giaco | isn't there a way to confirm that gdb loads the symbols automatically? The backtrace says that /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 is used, but no symbols inside | 00:12 |
| slangasek | giaco: that's really not on-topic for this channel; but are you sure that /usr/lib/GL.so.1 on your system is the one from libgl1-mesa-swx11? | 00:13 |
| giaco | slangasek, that's what this page says http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/libgl1-mesa-swx11/filelist | 00:16 |
| giaco | I've just installed it, I could reinstall it if it's necessary | 00:16 |
| slangasek | that's the wrong place to look; the question is not "does libgl1-mesa-swx11 contain such a file", the question is "is that the package which provides that file on your system" | 00:16 |
| slangasek | that question is answered by dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 - and now this is definitely off-topic | 00:17 |
| giaco | it's off topic, ok, btw libgl1-mesa-swx11: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and the debug is not working | 00:17 |
| mathiaz | kees: so it seems that pie breaks at least one test case in openldap 2.4.15 | 00:49 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: ^^ | 00:49 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: debian doesn | 00:49 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: debian doesn't enable pie in openldap right? | 00:50 |
| slangasek | there's nothing in the Debian packaging to enable PIE, no | 00:50 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: great - thanks. | 00:50 |
| mathiaz | kees: how can I debug this? | 00:50 |
| kees | mathiaz: ew, is it only with the new version? | 00:52 |
| kees | mathiaz: I've actually never debugged a PIE problem, but I'd basically treat it like any other corruption problem -- what's die, where, what variables are involved, and how does it compare to the non-PIE version | 00:52 |
| mathiaz | kees: yes - 2.4.14 built sucessfully in jaunty | 00:53 |
| mathiaz | kees: 2.4.15 does not | 00:54 |
| mathiaz | kees: it always fails in the same test case. | 00:54 |
| mathiaz | kees: ok - I'll try to replicate the setup - a least I've got a test case to work from | 00:54 |

| sbeattie | pitti: re apport-collect, in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/336512 the reporter used apport-collect to collect additional information, but it looks like only the stuff reported by attach_hardware(report) got attached and not attach_printing(report), which is sadly the crucial bit. Any idea why? | 07:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 336512 in cups "HP Deskjet F4180 not detected as printer on Jaunty" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 07:53 |
| pitti | sbeattie: but it does | 07:56 |
| pitti | sbeattie: there's Papersize and a (failed) lpstat | 07:56 |
| sbeattie | pitti: hrm, but where's the cups error log? | 07:57 |
| pitti | sbeattie: problem for error_log is that a normal user doesn't have permission to access it | 07:57 |
| sbeattie | Oh. mu. | 07:58 |
| pitti | PpdFiles is missing, too, though | 07:58 |
| pitti | sbeattie: looks like the hook crashed halfway through | 07:58 |
| pitti | sbeattie: let me try that here locally | 07:58 |
| sbeattie | pitti: was wondering if the failed lpstat was causing something like that. | 07:59 |
| pitti | no, shouldn't | 07:59 |
| pitti | but wait.. | 08:00 |
| pitti | nicknames = command_output(['fgrep', '-H', '*NickName'] + glob.glob('/etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd')) | 08:00 |

| * pitti fixes | 08:01 | |
| pitti | sbeattie: ah, and it also tries to attach "error-log", not "error_log" | 08:01 |
| sbeattie | cool, thanks for digging into it. | 08:04 |
| pitti | sbeattie: btw, attaching error_log will do fine for crashes (which are processed as root), but not for bug reports | 08:04 |
| pitti | arguably those log files should be root:adm, not root:lp | 08:05 |
| sbeattie | is there anything sensitive that gets reported in error_log? | 08:07 |
| pitti | well, file names, dates, etc. | 08:08 |

| Cimi | how can I download the linux-image souce? | 09:55 |
| Cimi | the LPIA jaunty port has a mistake | 09:55 |
| Cimi | strangely it lacks of the ext4 module | 09:55 |
| Cimi | it has to be recompiled/patched | 09:55 |
| cjwatson | I'm fairly sure there's a bug report about that | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | apt-get --only-source source linux | 09:56 |
| Cimi | I did them | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | I've targeted it for jaunty so that it doesn't get forgotten (bug 331848) | 09:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 331848 in linux "Cannot mount ext4 on linux-image-lpia" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/331848 | 09:57 |
| Cimi | perfect | 09:57 |
| Cimi | anyway apt-get --only-source source linux doesn't work with jaunty | 09:57 |
| Cimi | it doesn't fetch the sources | 09:57 |
| Cimi | just something like a meta package | 09:57 |
| Cimi | only few bytes | 09:57 |
| directhex | correct | 09:58 |
| directhex | linux-meta | 09:59 |
| Cimi | where's the source of those packages? | 09:59 |
| cjwatson | are you sure you used the --only-source option? | 09:59 |
| Cimi | I've tried a lot of combinations, it just downloads the linux.meta | 09:59 |
| cjwatson | hmm, indeed that doesn't work, odd | 10:00 |
| directhex | oh. tee hee. the source package "linux" contains images; the source package "linux-meta" contains the "linux" package | 10:00 |
| cjwatson | yeah, but --only-source is meant to avoid that problem | 10:00 |
| cjwatson | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ anyway | 10:00 |
| directhex | apt-get source linux-image-2.6.28-8-generic ;) | 10:00 |
| directhex | sigh, there has GOT to be a better way to enumerate model= parameters for snd-hda-intel than looking at the source | 10:01 |
| Cimi | generic will work for LPIA? | 10:01 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: same source package, don't worry about it | 10:01 |
| cjwatson | hmm, apt-get source seems a bit broken here | 10:01 |
| Cimi | I mean when I will run the dpkg-buildpackage it will generate the lpia deb with custom kernel config? | 10:01 |
| cjwatson | if you're building on an lpia system, yes | 10:02 |
| Cimi | but I want the lpia config with the lpia patches | 10:02 |
| Cimi | just with ext4 support | 10:02 |
| cjwatson | mvo: why does 'apt-get source linux-source-2.6.28' print out some strange misformatted messages and then get me the linux-meta source? | 10:02 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: yes | 10:02 |
| Cimi | I don't want a generic, i385 compiled for lpia | 10:02 |
| Cimi | ok | 10:02 |
| Cimi | *i386 | 10:02 |
| cjwatson | 'apt-get source linux-image-2.6.28-8-generic' doesn't work at the moment anyway | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: just download the source from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ directly | 10:03 |
| Cimi | cjwatson, I'm using apt-get source linux-image-2.6.28-8-generic | 10:03 |
| Cimi | it works here | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: you want the linux_2.6.28.orig.tar.gz, linux_2.6.28-8.27.diff.gz, and linux_2.6.28-8.27.dsc files | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | ok | 10:04 |
| Cimi | cjwatson, I would like to attach a patch on the bugreport, which is the correct way to get debian diffs? I mean, i just need to use diff on the uncompressed folder or something different? | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: is a patch actually going to speed things up? it would take a kernel developer about ten seconds to fix | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | (so I nudged them) | 10:07 |
| Cimi | it's one second patch | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | so don't bother :) | 10:07 |
| Cimi | ok ;) | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: for submitting patches to the kernel in general though, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide | 10:08 |
| Cimi | but since this bugreport is opened from days and no one did anything... | 10:08 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: so you could do that | 10:08 |
| mvo | cjwatson: looks like a bug, give me a sec, I have a closer look (it seems to prefer the binary "linux" that is build from linux-meta over the srcpkg "linux" | 10:10 |
| cjwatson | mvo: well, that's just the behaviour that --only-source changes; but linux-source-2.6.28 should be unambiguous | 10:10 |
| cjwatson | (I'm not asking for the --only-source default to change, that seems like a bikeshed) | 10:10 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: smb_tp said he'd fix it | 10:11 |
| Cimi | cjwatson, so I just need to wait for an updated package? | 10:12 |
| cjwatson | that's usual when a developer says he'll fix something, yes :) | 10:12 |
| Cimi | cjwatson, please ask him when it will be released: I have a big partition I would like to use, and I need to know if it worth a compile on my netbook | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | Cimi: you can ask him yourself, he's here | 10:15 |
| Cimi | oh :) | 10:15 |
| Cimi | smb_tp, ^^ | 10:15 |
| smb_tp | I am on it to enable the ext4 module | 10:16 |
| Cimi | yeah | 10:16 |
| Cimi | do you know when the package will hit the repository? | 10:16 |
| smb_tp | not exactly, I'll have to check with someone else, but I could provide you with intermediate kernels. | 10:17 |
| Cimi | that would be wonderful, compilation on an atom is somewhat painful :) | 10:18 |
| directhex | _R("RTL8168d/8111d", RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25, 0xff7e1880) // PCI-E | 10:18 |
| directhex | damn. jaunty supports this, but not intrepid | 10:18 |
| smb_tp | I know :) Will update the bug when I got something up | 10:18 |
| Cimi | smb_tp, something like a link on a deb? :-) | 10:19 |
| smb_tp | yep | 10:19 |
| Cimi | amazing, thank you | 10:19 |
| directhex | intrepid has RTL_GIGA_MAC up to VER_20, new motherboard has VER_25 | 10:20 |
| mvo | cjwatson: it seems like the prolem is that it goes over the Source file sequentially and stops on the first (bin|src) name it finds. so if the bin linux name is found first it gives this confusing result | 10:20 |

| pitti | go, cjwatson, go! | 12:47 |
| asac | pitti: he wants to bake a real release over the weekend | 12:47 |

| stgraber | seb128: hey, any idea what change in Jaunty's gnome broke the way LTSP makes USB keys and other local medias to work ? | 13:02 |
| seb128 | no | 13:02 |
| stgraber | seb128: basically mounting something in /media no longer appears on the desktop | 13:02 |
| seb128 | I've not clue about ltsp | 13:02 |
| ogra | seb128, gvfs used to pick up all mounts that show up in /media, does it still do that ? | 13:03 |
| stgraber | seb128: LTSP mounts local devices in /media/<USERNAME>/<device name> so something like /media/stgraber/usbdisk-sdc | 13:03 |
| seb128 | ogra: dunno, we got no bug about it not doing that and there is no reason to think that it changed | 13:03 |
| ogra | well, ltsp is the only thing acutally relying on it | 13:04 |
| seb128 | you guys write a testcase which work on an ubuntu desktop and I will have a look | 13:04 |
| seb128 | I don't plan to a ltsp install for that | 13:04 |

| savvas | is nvidia graphics driver 180 in intrepid considered "silent"? it's not present in hardware drivers and many users are wondering why | 13:16 |
| directhex | savvas, it's a backport. you need to explicitly install the modaliases | 13:16 |

A build log is at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23448421/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-amd64.python-4suite_1.0.2-7ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz | 14:02 |
| doko | geser: there's a bug report about it, not compatible with 2.6. we should repackage this as python2.5-4suite | 14:03 |
| ScottK | doko: It is problematic though since it has rdepends. | 14:04 |
| doko | ScottK: yes, however what do you want to do? | 14:05 |
| ScottK | I want you to fix it? | 14:05 |
| ScottK | Dunno. I'm afraid the transition to 2.6 isn't quite as smooth as I'd hoped. | 14:05 |
| ScottK | jelmer: Are you interested in doing the packaging changes for samaba4 for Python2.6? I'd rather not be touched-it-last for samba4. | 14:06 |
| james_w | it's not a trivial one | 14:07 |
| === BrunoX1ambert is now known as BrunoXLambert | ||
| jelmer | ScottK, shouldn't it just be a binNMU (or whatever the equivalent of that is in Ubuntu)? | 14:09 |
| ScottK | jelmer: We don't have binNMU, it's all sourceful uploads. It does look like rules needs a spot of work due to site-packages/dist-packages in 2.6. | 14:10 |
| directhex | jelmer, ubuntu doesn't have a maintainer per package per se, so there's no "non-maintainer" to upload. however, generally the last guy in changelog gets consulted about the package as a guy who "cares" about it, and i think ScottK would rather someone convenient with an @samba.org address did it instead of him ;) | 14:12 |

| pitti | cjwatson: we had the "cdrom in fstab" discussion a number of times already; however, do you think it would be reasonable to at least use /dev/cdrom instead of hardcoded /dev/scd0?? | 14:39 |
| pitti | cjwatson: aside from the fact that the number might change, scd0 is already deprecated again AFAIUI (it's srN now) | 14:39 |
| Keybuk | right | 14:40 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: ? | 14:41 |
| cjwatson | pitti: the installer doesn't hardcode /dev/scd0, actually | 14:41 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: oh, that probably wasn't for me :-) | 14:42 |
| Keybuk | kirkland: tab open, please wait ;) | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | pitti: it uses the device that /cdrom gets mounted on | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | pitti: which I think comes out of 'list-devices cd' | 14:42 |
| pitti | cjwatson: right, I expect it detects it, but for the purpose of writing it into fstab I still consider it hardcoding | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | I could try to check whether there's a symlink pointing there | 14:42 |
| Keybuk | scd0 is a symlink itself | 14:42 |
| pitti | cjwatson: maybe easier: if /dev/cdrom exists, put that in, otherwise use the current device name? | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | scd0 isn't relevant | 14:43 |
| directhex | there's a /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd, i wonder if there are blu-ray names. remind me to check | 14:43 |
| cjwatson | pitti: no, we should check that it matches the device actually in use, in case of multiple drives | 14:43 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: be thankful it's even there before ;) | 14:43 |
| pitti | cjwatson: okay | 14:43 |
| Keybuk | the scsi cd maintainer was pushing pretty hard to just drop it and only have /dev/sr0 | 14:43 |
| * pitti wishes we could just drop it entirely for desktop installs | 14:43 | |
| Keybuk | directhex: there are not | 14:43 |
| seb128 | I've "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0" in my fstab which breaks eject of unmounted CDs | 14:44 |
| directhex | Keybuk, aw. but how else can i feel special about owning a blu-ray drive? :o | 14:44 |
| pitti | for seb128's problem: eject apparently doesn't resolve symlinks in mount points | 14:44 |
| === ilowe_ is now known as ilowe | ||
| seb128 | $ eject /media/cdrom0 | 14:45 |
| seb128 | eject: tried to use `/media/cdrom0' as device name but it is no block device | 14:45 |
| seb128 | eject: unable to find or open device for: `/media/cdrom0' | 14:45 |
| directhex | so the bug is with eject, shirley? | 14:46 |
| Keybuk | well, that's clearly just a bug in eject as well ;) | 14:46 |
| pitti | absolutely | 14:46 |
| Keybuk | if it can't found the mount point name, and it's looking at a symlink, it should at least call readlink() | 14:46 |
| pitti | it just reminded me that we still put it into fstab in the first place, and with hardcoded device names | 14:46 |
| Keybuk | yeah, the fstab entry is ugly | 14:47 |
| Keybuk | I also find it odd that it's /dev/scd0 and /media/cdrom0 | 14:47 |
| Keybuk | shouldn't it /media/scd0 ? | 14:47 |
| Keybuk | (or just /dev/cdrom and /media/cdrom) | 14:47 |

| Keybuk | - Resolve symbolic links when reading CD-ROM names, to fix "eject -X" | 14:50 |

| Keybuk | (LP #264071, Debian ##504480, submitted upstream via email) | 14:50 |

| pitti | different symlink :) | 14:51 |
| seb128 | seems a different issue, the log on the debian bug had "eject: error while finding CD-ROM name" | 14:55 |

| seb128 | "eject: listing CD-ROM speed | 14:55 |

| seb128 | not sure what this 24 is about though | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | eep | 14:58 |
| Keybuk | should have so done a test reboot before that upload | 14:58 |
| pitti | Keybuk: you want to say "don't dist-upgrade in the next couple of hours"? | 15:01 |
| Keybuk | no ;) it's all good | 15:01 |
| Keybuk | I just should have tested that one :p | 15:01 |
| Keybuk | kirkland: right, let's look at this bug of yours | 15:05 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: ;-) | 15:06 |
| Keybuk | kirkland: ethtool enables wake-on-lan right? | 15:06 |
| Keybuk | but you still need to not have the -i iirc | 15:06 |
| Keybuk | otherwise reboot downs the interface, disabling it | 15:07 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: one of many things that it does, but yes, it can set the WoL mode | 15:07 |
| Keybuk | extra lines in /e/n/i are passed to the /etc/network/if-*.d scripts | 15:07 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: I don't disagree with that; but that alone is not sufficient to solve the problem on my kit | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | so all you actually need to do is read $WAKEONLAN in /etc/network/if-down.d | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | .../wakeonlan | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | or is it up.d? | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | whichever ifup phase you need ;) | 15:08 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: cool, that actually sounds pretty straight forward | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | (it might be $IF_WAKEONLAN actually) | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | though configuring such things with /e/n/i sounds evil to me | 15:09 |
| Keybuk | how will that interact with NetworkManager | 15:09 |
| Keybuk | what about desktops? | 15:09 |
| Keybuk | etc. | 15:09 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: hmm, i thought you might say that | 15:09 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: is NetworkManager able to set the WoL mode? | 15:10 |
| Keybuk | kirkland: -> asac | 15:10 |
| kirkland | asac and I discussed this briefly last week | 15:11 |
| kirkland | asac: around? i did a bit of testing that you asked for, regarding bug #71418 | 15:11 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 63172 in vim "Better vimrc default" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/63172 | 15:14 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i'd like to upload something like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/126749/ | 15:15 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: but i thought i'd check with you first | 15:15 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: yes, I think that's fine | 15:15 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: autoindent is known to piss some people off | 15:15 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: agreed. | 15:15 |
| asac | Keybuk: for me connection managers dont sound like the right place to set WoL ... which seems to be rather a device thing | 15:16 |
| asac | i though it could be done in something lower, like udev looking at some config somewhere | 15:17 |
| asac | thought | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: commented on the bug | 15:17 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: cheers, thanks much | 15:17 |
| Keybuk | I HATE YADA | 15:18 |
| Keybuk | asac: then you need a root helper just to change the config | 15:18 |
| asac | yeah. still putting it into a connection manager still sounds wrong. anyway, if its done it should be done in a if-*.d/ script, right. | 15:19 |
| Keybuk | but does NM call those scripts properly? | 15:19 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: I have the following snippet in my .vimrc: | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | " In normal mode, have <Insert> go to insert mode... | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | noremap <Insert> i | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | " ...and in insert mode, have <Insert> toggle paste mode (who uses replace anyway?) | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | set pastetoggle=<Insert> | 15:20 |
| asac | Keybuk: depends on what is properly for this case | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: sure, so do I (or similar) | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | dunnow if that makes sense though as a default | 15:20 |
| Keybuk | asac: does it parse /e/n/i and pass the variables for the unknown options from it? | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | Keybuk: what do you mean by "extra lines"? | 15:21 |
| asac | Keybuk: probably not. which option should be passed in? | 15:22 |
| Keybuk | asac: all of them | 15:23 |
| Keybuk | Chipzz: if you put | 15:23 |
| Keybuk | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 15:23 |
| Keybuk | hello-foo bar | 15:23 |
| Keybuk | then the if-*.d scripts will get $IF_HELLO_FOO=bar passed to them in their environment | 15:23 |
| Chipzz | that looks rather ambiguous? | 15:24 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i'm also going to decline that vimrc syntax-on change for Hardy | 15:24 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: doesn't seem to rise to the level for SRU, IMHO | 15:24 |
| asac | Keybuk: i wonder if you ask that because using /etc/network/interfaces is suggested in the bug or because you think thats the right place to configure WoL? | 15:24 |
| Keybuk | just the former | 15:25 |
| Keybuk | ie. I don't think ifup is the right place to do it at all | 15:25 |
| kirkland | yeah, that was purely my crackpot idea | 15:25 |
| asac | Keybuk: yeah. i dont think its the right place. this was ment to be a workaround for server setup | 15:25 |
| Chipzz | kirkland: as you're on the topic of vimrc options; what about set background=dark by default to get decent colors in screen? | 15:25 |
| asac | Keybuk: similar i dont think NM is the right place | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: oh heck yes | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: nominations crack is fairly common | 15:26 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: asac: it's the first place i would go to as a system administrator to permanently (across interface restarts) change some aspect of my interface's configuration | 15:26 |
| Keybuk | isn't it something you only want to do when powering down? | 15:26 |
| Keybuk | "power down and wake on lan" | 15:26 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: ;-) cheers. | 15:26 |
| Keybuk | sounds a bit like "power down and wake for updates" | 15:26 |
| Chipzz | Keybuk: do options that get recognized by ifupdown also get passed that way, or just the unrecognized options? | 15:26 |
| Keybuk | and "power down and wake on keyboard press" | 15:27 |
| kirkland | Chipzz: hmm, dunno about that one | 15:27 |
| asac | sounds a bit like powermanager should do the root config | 15:32 |
| superm1 | Keybuk, hi. what's up? | 15:42 |

| Keybuk | you didn't say which default <g> | 16:32 |
| ogra_ | i juwst found out thats the reason why my minicom freaks out since the upgrade | 16:32 |
| Keybuk | TERM=xterm has been the default for every ubuntu release though, no? | 16:32 |
| ogra_ | took me since the sprint to find that | 16:33 |
| ion_ | My gnome-terminal in jaunty seems to have TERM=xterm as well. | 16:33 |
| Keybuk | (for X) | 16:33 |
| ion_ | Oh, so does my gnome-terminal in intrepid. So no change there. | 16:33 |
| ogra_ | Keybuk, well, then minicom doesnt know about xterm anymore since jaunty or something | 16:33 |
| Keybuk | minicom should know about everything that terminfo knows about | 16:33 |
| ogra_ | right | 16:34 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| Keybuk | you have a /lib/terminfo/x/xterm ? | 16:34 |
| ogra | yup | 16:34 |
| Keybuk | ogra: though, WHILE YOU'RE HERE ... ;) | 16:36 |
| ogra | YES ?!? | 16:36 |
| Keybuk | ogra: /etc/modprobe.d/fuse | 16:36 |
| Keybuk | is that one of yours? :p | 16:36 |
| ogra | not completely, but i added it | 16:37 |
| Keybuk | I have a few questions | 16:37 |
| ogra | shoot | 16:37 |
| Keybuk | what uses /sys/fs/fuse/connections ? | 16:37 |
| ogra | fusectl iirc | 16:37 |
| Keybuk | so, I can see why you did it that way | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | but it's rather broken | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | for example | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | try this: | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | sudo modprobe -f fuse | 16:38 |
| ogra | feel free to wipe/redo/improve :) | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | err | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | sudo modprobe -r fuse | 16:38 |
| ogra | that doesnt exec the modprobe.d stuff ? | 16:39 |
| Keybuk | no, try it ;) | 16:39 |
| ogra | do you promis it wont trash my system ? | 16:39 |
| Keybuk | I promise | 16:39 |
| ogra | i havew important stuff going on | 16:39 |
| ogra | ok | 16:39 |
| Keybuk | but if it does, you wrote that file <g> | 16:39 |
| Keybuk | you'll get an error that fuse is in use, right? | 16:39 |
| ogra | yup | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | now ls /sys/fs/fuse/connections | 16:40 |
| ogra | nothing | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | right | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | in fact | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | it's not even mounted anymore | 16:40 |
| ogra | right | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | your remove rule unmounts it before attempting to remove the module | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | but if the module fails to remove, the unmount has still happened | 16:40 |
| ogra | right | 16:41 |
| ogra | so the script needs a check | 16:41 |
| Keybuk | you also don't use $CMDLINE_OPTS there | 16:41 |
| Keybuk | so any command-line options passed to modprobe for the module will be dropped | 16:41 |
| ogra | hmm | 16:42 |
| Keybuk | I can't think of any better way to do what you're trying to do though :-/ | 16:42 |
| Keybuk | you can't do it from a udev rule because you can't remove the fuse module while the path is mounted | 16:42 |
| ogra | right | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | remove fuse { if grep -q " /sys/fs/fuse/connections " /proc/mounts; then /bin/umount /sys/fs/fuse/connections; fi } && \ | 16:44 |
| ogra | i tried with a udev rule first iirc | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove fuse $CMDLINE_OPTS || \ | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | { if grep -q fusectl /proc/filesystems; then /bin/mount -t fusectl fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections; fi ; : ; } | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | is what I came up with | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | of course | 16:44 |
| ogra | ugh | 16:45 |
| Keybuk | none of this works if fuse is built into the kernel | 16:45 |
| ogra | is it yet ? | 16:45 |
| Keybuk | not yet | 16:45 |
| Keybuk | but it's worth thinking about | 16:45 |
| ogra | if its in the kernel we can have fusectl permanently mounted | 16:45 |
| ogra | thats a non issue then | 16:45 |
| Keybuk | it's force-loaded in /etc/modules | 16:45 |
| ion_ | Shouldn’t that be modprobe -r || { mount; ... exit 1; } or something to convey the failure? | 16:46 |
| ogra | right | 16:46 |
| ogra | ion_, thats what it does ? | 16:46 |
| Keybuk | ion_: that'd fail the remove and remove the module again I think :p | 16:46 |
| ogra | oh, the exit | 16:46 |
| Keybuk | oh, hmm, no idea what it'd do on a failed remove actually | 16:46 |
| Keybuk | sorry, was thinking in terms of the actual C code there | 16:46 |
| allquixotic | Well, there goes the rest of my day: http://watchout4snakes.com/creativitytools/RandomParagraph/RandomParagraph.aspx | 16:47 |
| ion_ | I prefixed the remove rule with “exit 1;”. % sudo modprobe -r fuse | 16:47 |
| ion_ | FATAL: Error running remove command for fuse | 16:47 |
| allquixotic | ion_: Can't remove your fuse module? tried rmmod? | 16:48 |
| ion_ | allquixotic: You missed the context, that error message was intentional. | 16:48 |
| allquixotic | ah! | 16:48 |
| allquixotic | yes, I did miss the context | 16:48 |
| ogra | Keybuk, well, i'd be for including it in the kernel by default | 16:53 |
| ogra | and make fusectl a kernfs | 16:53 |
| ogra | we add all users to fuse by default anyway and gvfs makes use of fuse all the time | 16:54 |
| ogra | no need to keep it modular anymore | 16:55 |

| SuperQ | So this is probably too late for jaunty | 22:15 |
| SuperQ | but is there a reason server installs don't include acpid? | 22:15 |
| slangasek | what do you want acpid for? | 22:15 |
| slangasek | (we're in the process of trying to get rid of it on the desktop) | 22:16 |
| SuperQ | hardware event notification | 22:16 |
| SuperQ | like powerbutton | 22:16 |
| SuperQ | I'm playing with libvirt/kvm, and I noticed my hardy guests didn't shutdown when asked | 22:17 |
| SuperQ | but Lenny would | 22:17 |
| SuperQ | turns out it was that acpid was missing from hardy | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | SuperQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Architecture | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting | 22:17 |
| slangasek | I believe the power button handler is meant to be implemented by hal rather than acpid in jaunty | 22:18 |
| slangasek | (which is not a hotkey actually, but a some-sort-of-standard ACPI 'button' event) | 22:18 |
| SuperQ | That sounds like a great solution | 22:19 |
| SuperQ | yea, psudo-standard event | 22:19 |
| SuperQ | like standby-button | 22:19 |
| slangasek | I don't think hal is currently in the server seed either, though | 22:19 |
| slangasek | and even if it were, hal only handles propagating the event across dbus, it doesn't include anything to act on the event | 22:20 |
| kees | cjwatson: dpkg is so much prettier with 392317 solved. quiet postinst scripts shouldn't make themselves known via the dpkg output. :P This seems like a good fix to keep. | 22:20 |
| kees | (that's debian bug 392317) | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 392317 in dpkg "dpkg: Empty lines in install/configure output (Setting up ...)" [Minor,Closed] http://bugs.debian.org/392317 | 22:20 |
| slangasek | so adding acpid+acpi-support to the servers might be the only possible short-term solution | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | kees: I actually prefer it the way we have it now | 22:20 |
| SuperQ | slangasek: hrm | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | kees: I'd revert to the Debian fix if that was essentially our only remaining dpkg diff, though | 22:21 |
| cjwatson | kees: that's actually not wildly implausible with the dpkg 1.15 series | 22:21 |
| slangasek | SuperQ: I would suggest filing a bug on the ubuntu-meta package for this and subscribing the ubuntu server team | 22:21 |

| Tonio_ | slangasek: may I ping about something ? skrooge finally got accepted from NEW? and ended up... nowhere :) | 22:22 |
| cjwatson | err ... I mean the Debian state, since I don't regard it as a fix :) | 22:22 |
| Tonio_ | slangasek: I have the email confirming it was accepted, btw... | 22:22 |
| slangasek | Tonio_: it's in universe, dunno why you think it's "nowhere" | 22:22 |
| kees | cjwatson: cool. I'm curious about the technical benefit you see with it, since it's always erked me aesthetically | 22:23 |
| slangasek | Tonio_: I see it in apt-cache policy as well, so it's mirrored successully | 22:23 |
| SuperQ | slangasek: So this would be a bug against ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-standard? | 22:23 |
| slangasek | SuperQ: "ubuntu-meta", bugs are filed by source package :) | 22:23 |
| slangasek | (so don't worry about the implementation details too much) | 22:23 |
| Tonio_ | slangasek: it just appeared, indeed... sorry for the stupid ping... when I looked a couple of hours ago I couldn't find it (it was accepted yesterday morning...) | 22:24 |
| SuperQ | slangasek: Ok | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | kees: I just always found it useful to know which packages actually had postinst scripts and which didn't, when debugging problems | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | kees: if a package doesn't have a postinst, it saves time going and looking | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | I don't actually recall the details, but I know that there have been cases where this saved me time :) | 22:24 |

| SuperQ | I can see the case for not caring about suspend | 22:28 |
| SuperQ | but powerbutton is a very good use case for servers | 22:28 |
| ivoks | that's acpid | 22:29 |
| cjwatson | kees: a shortcut to looking in somebody else's /var/lib/dpkg/info/ when digging through dpkg output in bug reports :) | 22:29 |
| slangasek | SuperQ: however, the rationale given was about 'power management', which I think overlooks the power button use case | 22:29 |

| kirkland | SuperQ: what's up? | 22:45 |
| kirkland | (i'm only partially here ... helping the wife with some chores) | 22:45 |
| SuperQ | kirkland: I've been playing around with libvirt+kvm | 22:45 |
| SuperQ | kirkland: One "bug" I found was that ubuntu-server installs don't pick up the acpi power button event by default | 22:46 |
| SuperQ | kirkland: so when I tell libvirt "shutdown FOO" it doesn't go into init 0 | 22:47 |
| mathiaz | SuperQ: right - install acpid in the guest and the shutdown command will work correclty. | 22:47 |
| SuperQ | kirkland: Lenny default minimal install includes acpid, which supports the event | 22:47 |
| SuperQ | mathiaz: Yes, I found this out | 22:47 |
| SuperQ | mathiaz: I'm arguing for the case that acpid (or powerbutton events) should be include with ubuntu-standard | 22:48 |
| SuperQ | (Debian does this, I figure why not Ubuntu as well) | 22:48 |
| slangasek | mm, acpid isn't "standard" on Debian; I'm not sure what would be pulling it in by default | 22:52 |

| cjwatson | don't suppose somebody who knows about this could go and fix it up? lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/hw-detect/ubuntu | 22:55 |
| mathiaz | SuperQ: how do you install your guests? Do you enable acpi support in libvirt? | 22:55 |
| mathiaz | SuperQ: if you start an install with a guest that has acpi support, acpid will automatically be installed. | 22:56 |
| slangasek | was it there in intrepid? | 22:56 |

| mathiaz | SuperQ: so you're not using the installer? | 23:01 |
| SuperQ | mathiaz: I spawn a VM with the ubuntu server ISO as a boot device | 23:02 |
| SuperQ | mathiaz: Then I go through a normal alternate menu install | 23:02 |
| slangasek | mathiaz: anything suspicious in the compile-time warnings? | 23:02 |
| SuperQ | mathiaz: acpi is True | 23:03 |
| SuperQ | mathiaz: so it should be on when the VM starts up | 23:03 |

| slangasek | mathiaz: I meant over the whole log, without first filtering for translucent :) | 23:08 |
| mathiaz | kees: because I don't see any PIE/pie in the build logs | 23:08 |

| kees | mathiaz: if you want to see the final output, set export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1 in the rules dfile | 23:08 |
| kees | mathiaz: that'll spew the actual gcc command line that hardening-wrapper is generating. | 23:09 |
| cjwatson | SuperQ: probably because acpid isn't on the server CD | 23:10 |
| cjwatson | SuperQ: I bet it'd work for netboot installs | 23:10 |

| slangasek | kees: wait, so PIE is being forced on now for all packages? Does that mean I can drop that bit of delta on the samba package? | 23:13 |
| kees | slangasek: no, PIE is enabled via native upstream mechanisms in samba. for openldap (and most other PIE builds) PIE is enabled via the use of the hardening-wrapper package. | 23:14 |
| SuperQ | cjwatson: Ahhh, that would make sense | 23:14 |
| slangasek | kees: so the hardening-wrapper package doesn't do anything to builds by default...? | 23:15 |
| SuperQ | cjwatson: hrm, no, my VM installs do have network access | 23:15 |
| slangasek | (the 'native upstream' method in Samba isn't particularly interesting, it just adds stuff to the compiler flags AFAIK) | 23:15 |
| kees | slangasek: correct, it must be enabled with an environment variable in the rules file | 23:15 |
| slangasek | ah | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | SuperQ: it's a property of the installation method, not of whether the VM had network access during installation | 23:15 |
| SuperQ | cjwatson: ok | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | SuperQ: the installer deliberately only uses packages on the CD at certain points, for CD installs | 23:16 |
| kees | slangasek: right, but doing PIE builds tends to be non-trivial, so it's nice to have native upstream support. | 23:16 |
| SuperQ | so it's just a matter of getting the extra deb(s) on the CD | 23:16 |
| cjwatson | well, only if that's appropriate | 23:16 |
| kees | slangasek: i.e. you can't just arbitrarily add -fPIE -pie to CFLAGS and everything works out. :) | 23:16 |
| cjwatson | the seed change would take care of that automatically | 23:16 |
| SuperQ | <- thinks so | 23:16 |
| cjwatson | right, but there seems to be some debate on the subject | 23:16 |
| slangasek | kees: are we also carrying gdb patches related to PIE? I would enable PIE in Debian then, except the last time I tried to debug a Samba bug that showed up in Ubuntu but not in Debian, my backtraces with the Debian gdb went all to crap | 23:16 |
| cjwatson | ... which I don't really want to have to get involved in :) | 23:16 |
| SuperQ | hehe | 23:16 |
| SuperQ | well, I'm perfectly willing to get involved | 23:17 |
| slangasek | mathiaz: heh, there are some very nice hardened warnings in there that we should take a look at some time :/ | 23:18 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: yes. I'm building a package with DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1 and plan to file a bug with upstream about pie. | 23:19 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: upstream may be interested at fixing the other issues brough up by the hardening wrappers. | 23:20 |
| * slangasek nods | 23:20 | |
| slangasek | really nothing that looks like it's related to your bug, though | 23:21 |
| kees | slangasek: Debian's gdb is not carrying the PIE patches. Ubuntu's is. | 23:21 |
| slangasek | kees: right. upstream and/or Debian prognosis for those patches? | 23:22 |
| kees | slangasek: Debian's gdb maintainer does not want the PIE patches because they are semi-crack. | 23:22 |
| slangasek | ... it's gdb | 23:22 |
| slangasek | how can you tell the difference | 23:22 |
| kees | slangasek: upstream gdb wants the functionality, but doesn't have time to fix up the patch that Ubuntu, RH, and SuSE carry around for PIE. | 23:22 |
| slangasek | anyway, I'll defer to Dan's judgement there :) | 23:22 |
| kees | yeah | 23:22 |
| jdong | kees: is there a non-crackful way to generate an on-the-fly apparmor profile for executing a single process under, like sandbox-exec() on OS X? | 23:25 |
| jdong | haha even re-reading the idea sounds like crack :) | 23:25 |
| kees | jdong: I don't know OSX, but the best I've done for on-the-fly AA profiling is just to use aa-genprof -- run it in "complain" mode until it's done, and then end the genprof run, and it flips to "enforce" | 23:27 |

| test | in Ubuntu 9.04 for testing we removed eth0, now we are unable to add it back | 23:30 |
| test | and get an error "Adding connection failed: PolicyKit authorization could not be created" | 23:30 |
| test | any help ? | 23:30 |
| test | bdmurray, ping | 23:30 |
| test | is this a known issue ? | 23:30 |
| jdong | kees: well I'm working on a crazy easily verifiable middleman for breaking out of the Apparmor confines of Firefox (i.e. to open a download in OpenOffice, for example) and would like to provide an option for "Open with constrained system access" which would launch the helper app with a limited set of privs plus access to the downloaded files | 23:31 |
| sbeattie | jdong: I've not used sandbox-exec() either, but I'm guessing it's using the systrace tools interactively. That's been a wishlist goal for apparmor for a long time. | 23:31 |
| jdong | kees: and I guess I just wanted a way to inject an apparmor profile for one binary without having to apply it system-wide or put it in apparmor.d | 23:31 |
| jdong | sandbox-exec basically would be like "apparmor-run some_profile /usr/bin/foo ...." | 23:32 |
| jdong | where it would temporarily attach some_profile to foo | 23:32 |
| kees | jdong: well, you need to be root to add a profile, and the profile is tied to the application across all runs, so I'm not sure what you want exists. | 23:32 |
| jdong | kees: ah, I guess "it doesn't exist" would be an acceptable answer then. | 23:32 |
| jdong | it would be nice if available :) | 23:32 |
| kees | jdong: yeah, sorry about that. | 23:33 |
| sbeattie | test: I suspect it may be related to bug 312105 | 23:33 |

| jdong | I mean I could always hack something up with (ugh) temp file juggling. | 23:33 |
| jdong | just trying to work on a solution for the #1 nag with my Firefox AA profile, opening downloaded files. | 23:33 |
| jdong | having apps launch with Ux arbitrary is obviously not gonna work, having them launch with Px requires a lot of work on my part, ix puts on too tough restrictions for say starting up openoffice.org ;-) | 23:34 |
| jdong | so my current compromise solution is to have a simple GTK middleman that can be Ux'ed with minimal risk. | 23:35 |
| test | sbeattie, not sure | 23:37 |
| sbeattie | jdong: in intrepid's apparmor, you can have an "inner" profile that only applies to a program when invoked from from the surrounding profile. | 23:39 |
| jdong | sbeattie: I guess what I need is to be able to dynamically supplement/substitute that based on a template of an app the user wants to execute | 23:40 |
| jdong | but meh it already sounds like more trouble than it would be worth :) | 23:40 |
| jdong | I'll just stay with unconfined-executes once it gets to the middleman level | 23:40 |

| jdong | it's the user's (read: my) responsiblity at that point to not be an idiot ;-) | 23:40 |
| mathiaz | kees: hm - using export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1 makes the build fail in a completely different places | 23:42 |
| mathiaz | *place* | 23:42 |
| kees | mathiaz: yeah, it's not perfect, some build systems are very sensitive to stderr output | 23:42 |
| kees | mathiaz: basically, everything building .o's has -fPIE added, and everything building executables has -pie added | 23:43 |
| mathiaz | kees: ok - thanks. I'll file a bug with upstream and attach the failed build log (but not the hardened_debug =1 one) | 23:44 |
| sbeattie | jdong: well, it's an interesting problem to solve, IMO. Though I'm not quite sure what solution you're envisioning... feel free to take it to email, if you'd like. | 23:45 |
