brycedirecthex: this is the public build00:02
brycewell, ubuntu public build.  Dunno if it's released to the world in general yet.00:02
directhexlatest version on ati.com is catalyst 9.200:02
brycedirecthex: so?00:02
directhexwhich is... hm... 8.58200:03
bryceI'm sure 8.600 will be available from their website before too long, meanwhile you can have it in jaunty today00:05
directhexand it adds xserver 1.6 support, presumably, since you're bothering to upload it?00:06
brycethat is correct00:06
directhexhm, i heard xserver 1.6 support wasn't due until the release after next. good to know there's no horrible driver migration needed in the release upgrade this time00:07
directhexor hang on, wasn't the latest version gonna dump support for a bucket of cards?00:07
brycesorry, I'm not at liberty to comment on that00:08
* Laney tests00:09
directhexLaney has a radeon?00:10
Laneyx1950 gt00:11
LaneyI know nothing about it other than it makes pretty pictures appear on my screen00:11
Laney(and plays l4d and tf2 ^_^)00:11
directhexi have a 4870 on my toolbox i'm meant to test00:12
bryceI tested both the latest -ati and -fglrx on an hd4850 and it worked beautifully00:13
directhexi'm meant to re-examine the old "who sucks more under linux" chesnut, and was handed the 4870 as ~equivalent to my geforce. i'm putting off testing until i have a screen that can do the HD video playback test without scaling00:14
brycedirecthex: good luck with that.  Actually I'd be interested in the results.00:17
directhexbryce, still not happy about the number of tests available to me - apparently we don't have any current contacts at epic so i can't squeeze unrealengine3 from them for testing with... which leaves limited options for modern tests00:19
brycedirecthex: ever tried phoronix test suite?00:19
directhexbryce, the test suite itself is a great tool, but i don't think michael at phoronix fully understands which benchmarks are appropriate when and why00:20
directhexbryce, so it's a good starting point00:20
brycesort of was my take too00:21
bryceon my (overwhelmingly lengthy) todo list to play with it some day00:21
directhexone detail makes me go "o_O" at it00:21
directhexconsole apps written in php do that00:22
bryceheh, yeah00:23
directhexi need to better understand unigine, so i can exert more scripted control over detail levels over multiple runs00:24
directhexoh, and any idea whether you still need to restart X to change ansiotropy/antialiasing on a radeon?00:24
directhexyears since i've used one00:24
adelie42question: Setup virtualbox to do some patch testing, and after installing guest additions, only start up to a CLI. Guest addidions removed X, which I figured was normal... What did I miss here?02:29

loolpitti: around?  http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/sync-blacklist.txt you mention debian-maintainers # pitti, not relevant for Ubuntu10:12
loolpitti: I think it's helpful for things like who-uploads or dget -x to work without warnings on Ubuntu when fetching Debian sources10:13
loolWe have other keyrings in the archive for similar reason (such as to debootstrap a Debian chroot from an Ubuntu install), so I would like it if we could get that package in Ubuntu as well10:13

loolcjwatson: Should I upload a version manually to allow us to set an override, and then we sync it again?11:15
cjwatsonlool: I think it needs an Ubuntu upload that removes the dpkg-distaddfile bit11:15
cjwatsonwe can't do anything useful with that in our archive; its purpose is special communication with the Debian archive software11:15

KaiLeh, yes..11:24
KaiLonly interesting, that glxgears slowed down from 10k to 1k11:25

asactjaalton: ok. so are the bad fonts MS fonts?11:29
asactjaalton: maybe check which of the files i removed in the last few uploads needs to be resurrected for you11:30
cjwatsonlool: I don't think it's suitable for Debian; it's an inevitable Ubuntu diff surely?11:38
cjwatsonlool: turning off the raw-keyring bit in Debian would break the ability of new Debian maintainers to upload11:38

davmor2Guys I got a query about ssh/sftp between the desktops and console.  If you do ssh username@server your in the /home/username directory the same applies for sftp in kubuntu and xubuntu the only one in fact that doesn't do this (which I'm guessing is expected behaviour) is Ubuntu's sftp which drops you in /.  I know I was told before that this is deliberate I'm just wondering why when every other desktop and console d11:44

ograasac, we would if pitti hadnt objected my upload and u wouldnt have been to lazy to re-implement dd in python ;)14:15
ogras/u/i/14:15
asacogra: so you use dd command line tool in that package?14:16
ograasac, right, its a pygtk wrapper doing some ugly stuff with dd14:17
ograthough it works ...14:18
superm1ogra, wasn't the (eventual) intention to have such support pulled into regular usb-creator to be able to write vfat filesystems?14:19
ograright14:19
ograor to use isos for everything and have usb-creator to convert them14:19
superm1ooh i think i'd like that best, then you can still burn them with windows boxen to real CDs14:20
pittiogra: oh, did I? I'm afraid I can't remember any more14:20
ograpitti, yes, you did (with valid concerns :) )14:21
pittiogra: but dd? isn't that more or less just a read()/write() in a loop?14:22
ograpitti, yes, but progress reporting is tricky14:22
Cimiresuming does not work here, on the ubuntu lpia release. it works if I add resume=/dev/sdXY to grub14:22
pittiI guess I have to see the code and my previous concerns14:22
pittiogra: it seems much more tricky to me to parse it from dd than to just have a counter in the read/write loop?14:22
ograwell, you asked to rip out the dd and implement it in py ... which is the right thing14:23
cjwatsonRiddell: that's odd, oem-config-gtk is being installed as well as oem-config-kde14:23

ograasac, did something in NM recently change ? my arm systems are suddenly all called localhost.localdomain14:48
mcnichollshi. i am looking to get petsc rebuilt te remove a dep on an NBS package, but i found it doesn't build due to something to do with libhypre. I have rebuilt and installed hypre from the source package, installed it and petsc rebuild fine after that. Is it reasonable to submit a rebuild request for hypre citing that it is needed for petsc to recompile, or would i actually have to work out what has caused the problem with hypre to get it rebuilt?14:48
ograasac, seems it applies the 127.0.0.1 value from /etc/hosts instead of whats in /etc/hostname14:48
asacogra: nope ... maybe your nm-system-settings process isnt running?14:48
ograhmm, right14:48
asacogra: crashed because of /etc/network/interfaces maybe?14:49
asacogra: if so i want that file as a bug14:49
ogranope, interfaces has only lo14:49
ograi guess its fallout of another bug14:49
ograi cant start cups either on that system14:50
ograthere are actually a bunch of services it cant start14:50
ograi just wasnt aware that nm would set localhost.localdomain by default now14:50
ograrunning hostname.sh manually and doing a re-login helps though14:51
ograpitti, why is cups always trying to reload apparmor (which we dont compile on armel)14:52
sorenogra: It should be checking for the existence of /etc/init.d/apparmor first. Doesn't it do that on your system?14:58
pittiogra: it ships an apparmor profile, so shouldn't it?14:58
ograsoren, it might, indeed thats existing14:58
ograbut we dont/cant compile apparmor on armel14:58
ograso there is no module14:59
pittiogra: but it doesn't actually do that in the init script14:59
pittiogra: but in the postinst14:59
ograright14:59
pittiogra: and it does check for /etc/init.d/apparmor first14:59
ograwhich indeed exists14:59
pittiogra: also, if invoke-rc.d apparmor force-reload, it doesn't fail installation15:00
pittiogra: so that's about as much as cups can do15:00
pitti(it's || true'ed15:00

ograi just wonder if apparmor is responsible for all my probs in userspace if the module is missing but the profiles and tools are installed anyway15:01

ograi dont know where to look further, it all seemed to start when amitk started building kernels with apparmor enabled but now we have one thats completely without any trace of apparmor and the prob still persists16:10

ograso do i see an upstart bug ?16:31
Keybukno16:31
ograor something thats missing in the kernel to give upstart all it needs ?16:31
Keybukit's probably a syscall the ARM kernel maintainers haven't bothered to implement16:31
ogranote that a patch for ppoll/pselect is in that kernel i use16:32
Keybuk"setuid() ?  when someone needs that, I'll get around fo it"16:32
ograthe issue showed up before the patch was in though16:32
Keybukall you proved is that it's not a fundamental problem16:32
Keybukas in the kernel is clearly behaving when there's nothing else running16:32
Keybukso now you need to try and replicate the problem16:33
Keybukmaybe figure out a minimal set of commands on the console that always receive SIGKILL16:33
Keybukand figure out *when* in the timeline that starts happening16:33
Keybukif the set fails after boot16:33
Keybukbut works with init=/bin/bash16:33
Keybuktry single user mode16:33
ograworks fine16:33
Keybukif that works, try starting rc2 scripts16:33

LaserJockI need to get ubuntu-edu-{preschool,primary,secondary,tertiary} metapackages promoted. Should I file a bug or is a archive admin around who could do it?16:44
slangasekLaserJock: does something depend on them already?16:45
LaserJockslangasek: no, edubuntu-desktop will but germinate doesn't like adding them until they are in Main16:45
ogra /etc/sysctl.conf is all commented as it should be, i cant imagine 10-console-messages.conf or 10-network-security.conf to be at fault here so i suspect its vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 in /etc/sysctl.d/10-process-security.conf16:46
LaserJockslangasek: I'm just splitting the edubuntu-desktop's deps into sub-groups so no new dependencies are there or anything.16:47
* ogra comments that and reboots16:47
slangasekLaserJock: hrm? germinate should like it fine, the standard practice is to seed then promote16:47
LaserJockslangasek: germinate says it's skipping them16:48
slangasekhmm16:48
LaserJockslangasek: perhaps cjwatson knows but I tried first to just seed then promote16:48
ograYAY !!!!16:49
slangasekLaserJock: so that doubly doesn't make sense to me, because the binaries are all built from the same metapackage, which ought to have enough sense to add the deps on its own16:49
ograKeybuk, thanks so much for taking my hand and leading me ... vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 is the reason ...16:49
cjwatsonslangasek: germinate-update-metapackage indeed doesn't add things until they're in main16:49

cjwatsonslangasek: but the seed should be sufficient16:50
Keybukogra: really?16:50

* Keybuk wonders why that is done as a sysctl config override at all and not a kernel patch16:50
LaserJockcjwatson: sufficient for what?16:50
slangasekapparently null dereferences are an integral part of the ARM platform? :P16:50

ograah16:57
Keybukthis vaguely implies to me that nobody's tested this stuff there ;)16:57
Keybukit's not massively critically serious of course16:57
Keybukbut it _is_ interesting16:57
Keybuk(more interesting is that our own kernel configs override it back to 0 again <g>)16:57
ograwell, its in the middle of being properly merged with the default ubuntu config16:58
ograthats the reason we talk here, since i do the userspace testing of amits builds atm16:58
KeybukI can't see anything particularly in the kernel that would send you SIGKILL of course16:59
ograwell, i think thats something the security team should be able to elaborate on17:00
Keybuk        if ((addr < mmap_min_addr) && !capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO))17:00

KeybukEACCES is not SIGKILL17:01
ograindeed17:01
ograand my strace doesnt have any mentioning of EACCESS17:01
Keybukapparmor has a slightly more complicated variant17:01
Keybukbut still fundamentally the same17:02
Keybukso I'd be cautious of declaring that it's definitely the cause17:02
Keybukit's more likely that the bug is something else17:02
Keybukand this just happens to trigger it17:02

ograseems no defconfig for arm has it anywhere though17:07
kees\o/17:07
keesGO INGO17:07
Keybukkees: surely it's better to have a one line kernel delta (esp. just to our own configs!) than something in userspace that costs time and can go out of sync?17:07
ograwasnt there an issue with wine ?17:08
keesKeybuk: if it's upstream, we can drop the sysctl.  I'm just shocked and delighted that it got made the default.17:08
Keybukahh, maybe there wasn't a kernel config before17:08
* ogra vaguely remembers a ML thread17:08
Keybuklooks like the kernel config option was added only very shortly before17:08
keesKeybuk: I don't think there was.17:08
keesI love how all the stuff we cram into Ubuntu eventually becomes the upstream default.17:09
keesI wonder if I can convince gcc to do the same.  ;)17:09
Keybukogra: I would _guess_17:10
Keybukthat the ARM tool chain is trying to use the bottom 64k of memory with mmap17:10
Keybukand sulking when it can't17:10
Keybukmaybe even the link loader17:10
Keybukthis would fit the "you get SIGKILL on exec()" pattern17:11
ograKeybuk, heh, amits kernel is built in a cross toolchain ...17:11
ograi'm waiting for the build in the ppa to finish17:11
Keybukand this didn't happen before perhaps because CONFIG_SECURITY wasn't enabled17:11
Keybuk(and that entire bit of the kernel goes missing if you remove that config option)17:11
ograwhich is building with our own toolchain17:11
Keybukthis is all wild hand-wavy speculation17:11
ograright, but i can prove it soon, i was suspecting a toolchain issue though because of other things we had before ... not particulary for this one17:12
sbeattieKeybuk: zap_process from within do_coredump() in fs/exec.c does a sigaddset(&t->pending.signal, SIGKILL); but it does it for threads in the group that aren't current.17:12
Keybuksbeattie: ?17:13
sbeattiejust another possible way sigkill might be getting "sent" from the kernel17:13
Keybukoh, sure17:13
Keybukbut that doesn't fit with the "if I turn of the mmap_min_addr sysctl it all works" scenario17:13
Keybukisn't that just when it KILLs threads when the leader dies?17:14

pittiRiddell: is kde/jockey.notifyrc something that needs i18n'ing?17:21
Keybukkees: right, so I'm thinking something else is doing that mmap, failing, then sending itself SIGKILL to get out17:21
keesis it perhaps trying to mmap into a 0 location during the loader?  (or is that what you were saying earlier?)17:21
pittiRiddell: and it doesn't use the title/text arguments (which are already translated) at all?17:21

Keybukso you want to co-ordinate that with rtg to fix our kernel config17:22
keesKeybuk: oh?  I just looked at our git repo?17:22
ogralets see what a natively built kernel does ...17:22
Riddellpitti: it does use the text from the application17:22
keesit's correct (64k) in our repo17:22

Keybukit's not correct in this build ;)17:22
ograamit uses code-sourcery to cross compile17:23
Riddellpitti: but the title comes from the .notifyrc, which should be i18n'ed17:23
pittiRiddell: ah, I see, just not the title17:23
Keybukdebian/config/i386/config:CONFIG_SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR=017:23
keesoh... hrm, I see what you mean now.  i was looking at i386_defconfig  :)17:23
pittiRiddell: so I could name this .notifyrc.in and integrate it into POTFILES.in and the rest of magic?17:23
pittiRiddell: or is there any way to set the notification title at runtime? (which would ease matters)17:23
Riddellpitti: I don't think you can set the title at runtime (it's something I'd quite like the dx people to look into)17:25
Riddellpitti: so PITFILES.in would be the way17:25
pittiRiddell: ok, I'll look into that17:25
Riddellpitti: in the packaging that file needs to be installed to /usr/share/kde4/apps/jockey17:25
loolKeybuk: Do you know how we can tell the toolchain to work when it's 65536?17:25
pittiRiddell: ok, that needs to happen in setup.py17:25

TheMusois an archive admin able to fix up the missing package metadata for linux-ports-headers-2.6.28-5 on hppa/powerpc/sparc? Seems it is present for ia64, but no others.17:26

ogralool, lets wait for the PPA build to finish, i'll test it then17:26
loolOh wait, it's the kernel binary17:26

kirklandTheMuso: I just accepted: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/133133/17:35
TheMusokirkland: np thats fine17:36
brycekirkland: ok I didn't check if there were already bug reports for -nouveau when I filed mine, so maybe it's just a dupe report17:37
cjwatsonTheMuso: what's wrong with it? I noticed it was wrong earlier and I made some adjustments17:37
brycekirkland: also I see that it failed to build on some platforms like amd64, but succeeded elsewhere17:37
TheMusocjwatson: linux-ports-headers-2.6.28-5 which is arch all is on ports.ubuntu.com however package metadata for hppa/powerpc/sparc doesn't appear to have it included, hense the problem showing up in ports jaunty probs17:38
TheMusoTested by installing the linux-ports-headers package by hand and apt-get installing an arch linux-headers package, so the dependencies in the packages are correct17:38
brycekirkland: and the last comment on that bug looks to be mistaken; I think he ran into an "ordinary" crash with nouveau17:38
brycekirkland: oh I see, that user reopened the bug.  Silly guy, I think he's mistaken.17:40

\shdoes anyone know how to prevent d-i from asking if I would like to initialize Serial ATA Raid while auto preseeding? on my HP server it always asks me if I want to use Serial ATA...and I don't find any documentation on how to stop d-i to ask me17:49
\shand reading partman-auto-raid pkg source doesn't help me either17:51
pittimvo: so the TemporaryFile() approach works perfectly as well17:52
cjwatson\sh: disk_detect/activate_dmraid=false on command line17:52
cjwatson\sh: and perhaps file a bug on dmraid, it seems like a bug if it's misdetecting that17:52
cjwatsonTheMuso: ^- might be worth working with \sh to get details here?17:52
cjwatson\sh: sorry, I made a typo, disk-detect/activate_dmraid=false (note s/_/-/)17:53
\shcjwatson: hmm...i thougn partman-dmraid is removed from archives since ages.. or is it merged somehow into partman-{md,auto-raid} ?17:53
cjwatson\sh: that is not relevant17:53
cjwatsonfirstly, this question is asked before partman starts; secondly, yes, it's been merged17:53
TheMuso\sh: If a question gets asked like the dmraid one, does that mean its automatically preseedable, or does more have to be done with the debconf code for the question to make it so?17:54
TheMusocjwatson: ^^17:54
TheMuso\sh: sorry not meant for you. :p17:54
\shcjwatson: ah ok...lemme test it right away...brb 5 mins17:55
\shTheMuso: I just inserted the mentioned option inside the preseed file nwo...if that doesn't work I'll give it a try via kernel append in pxelinux.cfg like the locale stuff17:56
TheMuso\sh: ah ok17:57
cjwatsonTheMuso: generally it's automatically preseedable unless the code is doing something funny, such as explicitly setting its value or clearing the seen flag17:58
cjwatsonTheMuso: a straightforward input/go/get will Just Work17:58

slangasekkblin: nuh-uh, you're Kai from Samba!22:09
slangasekyou're not fooling me22:09
lhthere's some stuff already on there, but let's talk about how to improve and refine it.22:09
lhfor each idea22:09
lhtry to think of something that needs to get done to help move the project forward, bonus points if it is sexy. doesn't have to be fun and exciting, but always helps to have a few of those.22:10
lhplease classify ideas as easy, medium, hard or beginner, intermediate, something along those lines. scale of 1-1022:10
lhhelps students decide which ideas to explore first and what is best for them to tackle22:10
kblinslangasek: oh, darn, foiled22:10
lhalso each idea ought to be accompanied by links to documentation22:11
dokook, will address this tomorrow. there's another criteria which dserves bonus points: be able to find a mentor22:11
lhe.g. if you want to work on foo, check out the documentation for foo here, here and here, and this documentation on baz over here is also useful22:11
lhdoko: absolutely. ideas need to have an assigned mentor and that person needs to be able to devote no less than 5 hours per week to mentoring.22:12
lhif you don't have time to mentor, don't sign up. better an idea not get worked on than a potential contributor to your community has a bad experience.22:12
lhalso list where someone should ask for help or guidance, maybe that is this channel, maybe another, maybe it is a mailing list. make sure that's explicit on your ideas page.22:13
lhif you want me to review drafts, can do.22:13
dokoyes, the ml is mentioned on the ideas page.22:13
lhokay great. that's all the guidance i've got for the moment. i am around on freenode frequently so if you need help i am here.22:14
brycelh: whew, scared me a bit; I didn't see inkscape on the list, but found it buried.  Wow that's a very confusing page22:15
SRabbelierbryce: what's confusing about it 0.o22:16
SRabbelierits' the standard code.google.com style list... :-/22:16
bryceSRabbelier: there's two lists on the page, and it's unclear which of the two lists to look at (ubuntu was on the 1st, inkscape on the 2nd).  Also the lists appear to be alphabetized, so I didn't think to look at the second page, but in fact it isn't fully alphabetized and inkscape is just sorted towards the bottom for some reason22:17
SRabbelierbryce: both22:17
SRabbelierbryce: it even explains on the second list22:17
SRabbelierbryce: what the purpose is22:17
SRabbelierbryce: the list is sorted by link_id22:18
* lh heads back to her overflowing inbox22:18
lhpeace y'all22:18
bryceSRabbelier: fair enough, but I wouldn't have guessed inkscape's link_id would be "sxc"22:19
SRabbelierfirst list, actually22:19
ArthurLiuis there a specific ubuntu soc irc channel ?22:19
SRabbelierbryce: that's their fault22:19
SRabbelierbryce: don't blame me22:19
SRabbelierbryce: sxc seems like a particularly bad one, if you ask me22:19
SRabbelier"inkscape" wouldof made more sense22:20
ftaKeybuk, I can't update ia32-libs because the last isdnutils wasn't built: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/isdnutils/1:3.12.20071127-0ubuntu422:20
bryceSRabbelier: I'm not blaming anyone, just explaining why I got confused22:20
SRabbelierbryce: sorry, true :)22:20
bryceSRabbelier: so it appears an organization only gets one chance to set that, and if they make a mistake, they can't change it??22:24
SRabbelierbryce: yup22:25
SRabbelierbryce: exactly the same way with your personal link_id22:25
SRabbelierbryce: the notice about that is like, THIS BIG22:25
bryceSRabbelier: heh, expecting users to read docs... you're certainly optimistic ;-)22:26
SRabbelierbryce: oi, if they don't, I'm not helping them ;)22:27
SRabbelierbryce: you lost your right to my time when you decided not to read the docs (with "you" not referring to you personally)22:27
SRabbelierif you can't take the time to read the docs, which we wrote for this purpose, then I'm sure as hell not going to spend my time rewarding you :P22:28
brycewow, that would save me *sooo* much work if I did that22:28
tkamppeterAny Python expert here? I can build system-config-printer without problems on my local Jaunty (updated today) and I have also uploaded it successfully yesterday. Today I upload it again (tiny patch) and get an FTBFS: setup.py says "options --install-layout and --prefix are exclusive". The same call worked yesterday.22:28
SRabbelierbryce: I dont' do it as strict as I portray it here :P22:29
SRabbelierbryce: I'm exagerating by a lot22:29
SRabbelierbryce: but I don't have the time to worry about "what if people don't read notices THIS BIG" :(22:29
crdlbtkamppeter: just drop the --prefix usage?22:30
SRabbelieranyway, if you have any suggestions on how to improve melange, please do file a  http://tinyurl.com/new-issue or drop us a note in #melange22:31
SRabbelierand even if you didn't read the documentation, I'll do my best to reply ;)22:31
SRabbelierno guarantees though :P22:31
sbeattietkamppeter: I don't know the answer, but in your next system-config-printer upload, could you include http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23529565/system-config-printer_1.1.3%2Bgit20090218-0ubuntu5.debdiff (from bug 338442)22:33

tkamppeterThis worked yesterday but today it gives the error. My patch does not touch setup.py.22:35
bryceSRabbelier: http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=331 seems to already describe the UI design problem that leads to the user confusion22:35
SRabbelierbryce: that one's fixed22:35
SRabbelierit was a duplicate of... another one22:35
SRabbelierlemme find it, and close it as duplicate22:35
ebrodertkamppeter: I think you want to --root=$(DEB_DESTDIR) or whatever it's called instead of --prefix22:35
crdlbshouldn't that sort of thing be done with DESTDIR (--root with distutils I guess)22:36
tkamppetercrdlb: debdiff is here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24068667/system-config-printer_1.1.3%2Bgit20090218-0ubuntu8_1.1.3%2Bgit20090218-0ubuntu9.diff.gz22:36
SRabbelierbryce: I'm /part-in #ubuntu-devel, please do join #melange ;)22:36
bryceSRabbelier: anyway, I didn't set up the inkscape thingee so dunno what the problem was exactly.  But really the issue now is that there seems to be no way to fix the mistake now that it's been made22:36
SRabbelierbryce: yeah, I know what you mean, but it's a technical limitation I'm afraid :(22:37
SRabbelierbryce: if we made it mutable things would be a lot slower22:37
tkamppetercrdlb: The "make install" call has the DESTDIR, the shown command line is what "make install"does internally and what worked on the build server until; yesterday and what is still working on my box.22:37

ubottuUbuntu bug 317895 in ecryptfs-utils "netboot newuser and ecryptfs fails to login" [High,Triaged]22:51
macooh right22:51
kirklandmaco: tried to reproduce that again, no luck22:51
maconeed to re-test that here22:51
tkamppetersbeattie: Uploaded your debdiff as 0ubuntu10, thanks for the reminder.22:51
kirklandmaco: cool, that would be muchly appreciated on this end22:51
kirklandmaco: i'm about to blast an update of ecryptfs-utils that fixes 4 or 5 bugs22:51
sbeattietkamppeter: thank you!22:51
kirklandmaco: was trying to fix that one too, but still don't see where the problem actually lies22:51
macokirkland: alright, installation starting. at some point i need to learn to automate such things22:59
kirklandmaco: yeah, that helps22:59
macois there kickstart for ubuntu?23:00
kirklandmaco: mathiaz is really good at such magic23:00
kirklandmaco: ack, there is.23:00
macothought so...will have to look into it for karmic play time23:00
kirklandmathiaz: how about a blog post to communicate some of your automated installation magic you use for testing?23:00
macowhats the good of having two laptops if they dont both get some testing23:01
mathiazkirkland: it's on my todo list23:04
kirklandmathiaz: \o/23:04
mathiazkirkland: I plan to write a blog post (or two) about that aspect of testing23:04
mathiazkirkland: maco: I've already wrote a post presenting the big picture: http://ubuntumathiaz.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/automate-ubuntu-server-iso-testing/23:05
macomathiaz: thanks23:05
doctormokirkland: hey there, got a jaunty box that had ecryptfs, which has now failed, the mount doesn't seem to mount anything, no errors.23:06
macoon the topic of testing: laserjock says vm image distribution was talked about to ease testing before but was dismissed for some reason or other. he suggested possibly because vms are bigger than isos. meh, torrents, i say. so i put a jaunty alpha 6 vm for virtualbox up at http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4780245 if you wanna point potential testers there.23:07
dtchenit'd be more useful to have vms generated from the daily and daily-live23:09
dtchenthe same rsync system could be harnessed23:10
macothats true23:10
macowell generating from the cd could be hard. running an update on the vm each day would be easier23:10
macobut distribution on the initial vm could be painful. that's 1.1gb after i lzma'd it23:11
mathiazmaco: I've looked at ubuntu-vm-builder?23:11
macomathiaz: its for kvm only, right?23:11
macowell kvm / qemu?23:11
mathiazmaco: it can build a vm in a couple of minutes23:11
macogranted i made the default hard disk decently sized, but an empty .vdi is sparse23:12
mathiazmaco: not only. I think it supports other format as well.23:12
macomathiaz: does it do virtualbox? that seems to be the popular one23:12
mathiazmaco: not sure about virtualbox though.23:12
maco(i've only used it for kvm)23:12
macovirtualbox is definitely more user-friendly23:12
* calc found a workaround to the problem of saving xsl related files in OOo23:12
mathiazmaco: if not, it should be easy to add virtualbox support?23:13
mathiazmaco: virtualbox more user-friendly -> how so?23:13
macoeasier to reconfigure23:13
macoeasy to configure to begin with. can keep the command line nicely hidden away23:14
mathiazmaco: virt-manager makes things easy to setup23:14
mathiazmaco: for kvm setup.23:14
macoi remember there's a gui somewhere for it23:14
macoit was the intimidating sort of gui that makes one say "i might as well use the command line. *gulp*"23:15
dtchengenerating from the cd is not difficult; see VBoxManage23:15
macoim thinking of the class of users that dont know the command line well or at all and thus should not be using devel versions on metal. setting up kvm would be icky for them. it was icky for me, and i was following a howto on the wiki.23:17
mathiazmaco: which how-to are you refering to?23:18
mathiazmaco: what was *icky* for you?23:18
macothe first annoyance was that i was on hardy and trying to test intrepid in a vm. hardy refused to let me tell it i wanted intrepid. it'd only let me choose stable releases.23:20
macoi think the stable releases ought to offer devel releases for the vm, since that's a nice way to test23:20
macoi was on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/CreateGuests (well that used to be a chunk of a larger page). i attempted to follow the "use an iso" way to get intrepid, but that got pretty hairy. i think i had issues with what type of image to create and whether that image already existed or not. i gave up and told ubuntu-vm-builder to install a hardy vm then did a do-release-upgrade on it23:22
=== asac_ is now known as asac
macovirt-install was what i found most "icky"23:25
* TheMuso likes virt-install23:26
macowell finding that the docs claimed an --os-variant existed that did not was fun...23:27
tkamppetercrdlb: Thanks for the hint with the "--root", system-config-printer vuilds again (0ubtuntu11).23:27
macoi suppose documentation explaining how to use it without sudo privs would be nice. unfortunately, i cant answer that question, so i cant write that documentation23:28
macoim pretty sure its possible to use a vm without root privs though (if not: why?)23:28
=== pgraner` is now known as pgraner
macosorry, dont mean to be whiny about the tools, i just dont think id suggest them to anyone that's used linux less than a year23:34
macoif you can figure out how to use them without extra help, you're also probably perfectly capable of troubleshooting weird breakage on actual hardware23:35
