| asac | "Pixel units are relative to the resolution of the viewing device, i.e., most often a computer display. If the pixel density of the output device is very different from that of a typical computer display, the user agent should rescale pixel values. It is recommended that the reference pixel be the visual angle of one pixel on a device with a pixel density of 96dpi and a distance from the reader of an arm's length. For a nominal arm's length of 28 i | 00:02 |

| asac | http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html | 00:03 |
| asac | 4.3.2 Lengths | 00:03 |
| asac | slangasek: so scaling of pixel unit seems to be explicitly encouraged | 00:03 |
| asac | of course we dont know how far the user is away | 00:04 |
| slangasek | it says to scale it to account for viewing distances | 00:04 |
| slangasek | not to screw with it based on DPI | 00:04 |
| asac | so we scale blindly by dpi | 00:04 |
| YokoZar | and while we're talking about pixel values the latest updates from today seem to have made the DPI for my display even more wrong (pidgin fonts are even bigger now) | 00:04 |
| asac | slangasek: its a combination of distance and density from what i understand | 00:04 |
| slangasek | # pt: points — the points used by CSS 2.1 are equal to 1/72nd of an inch. | 00:05 |
| asac | so in theory we would need three profiles or somthing like: | 00:05 |
| asac | handheld, laptop, desktop | 00:05 |
| slangasek | the spec also says that, which is the correct definition of points | 00:05 |

| slangasek | asac: yes, and I say that tampering with the definition of a pixel based on DPI is worse than doing nothing at all, because DPI is not correlated with viewing angle | 00:07 |
| asac | slangasek: yeah i agree. and maybe pt really does that | 00:07 |
| asac | but it looked like it doesnt ... could be relative of course | 00:07 |
| asac | i dont have a high dpi device here to compare the real size | 00:08 |

| slangasek | heh | 05:31 |
| maco | aptitude full-upgrade says i have to remove libavcodec51 so libavformat52 can be installed and then brasero is not allowed to update once that occurs | 05:32 |
| slangasek | well, libavformat52 is marked Breaks: libavcodec51, and I don't understand that one either; but adding a conflicts besides seems like the wrong solution | 05:32 |

| maco | anyway...aptitude says "libavformat52: Breaks: libavcodec51 but 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3 is installed. | 06:35 |
| maco | " and then offers to remove libavcodec51 | 06:35 |
| slangasek | that's the right thing for it to do | 06:35 |
| maco | (the updater killed my net connection, no idea why it keeps doing that) | 06:36 |
| slangasek | and in fact, the latest ffmpeg-debian upload only causes libavcodec51 to be removed sooner | 06:36 |
| maco | maybe its just bcause of the brasero/nautilus but it gives a "score 270" | 06:37 |

| cjwatson | lool: I think it's probably simplest to put it in minimal, so I'll just do that. After that the hw-detect change would only be necessary if Debian wanted to have the same thing | 13:50 |
| pitti | MacSlow: not sure what you are asking for? | 13:51 |
| lool | cjwatson: It will work if you pull it in minimal; perhaps we wont need that next cycle though if we build everything vfp, in which case we'll have to think of reverting it | 13:51 |
| cjwatson | right, but trivial | 13:51 |

| lool | thanks | 13:51 |
| pitti | MacSlow: I did, but my bling-untrained eye can't see what you mean | 13:51 |
| MacSlow | pitti, the nasty rectangle frame behind a GtkEntry-widget | 13:52 |
| pitti | MacSlow: since those are very different dialog | 13:52 |
| pitti | ss | 13:52 |
| MacSlow | pitti, just focus on the GtkEntry-widgets in each screenshot | 13:52 |
| pitti | MacSlow: oh, I see | 13:53 |
| pitti | MacSlow: that's such a minor detail, I personally consider that more like a bug fix | 13:53 |
| MacSlow | pitti, you should clearly see that the ones of libgksu have nasty "non-bg-cleared" frame | 13:53 |
| MacSlow | pitti, so it would be accepted?! | 13:53 |
| pitti | MacSlow: however, somehow you need to indicate which input field has the focus? | 13:53 |
| MacSlow | pitti, the focus-ring is not touched by this | 13:53 |
| pitti | MacSlow: looks fine to me | 13:55 |
| pitti | MacSlow: I mean, fixing this after beta | 13:55 |
| MacSlow | pitti, cool ok then | 13:55 |
| mdz | pitti: nah, I was just curious if we could infer from the existing data | 13:55 |
| pitti | mdz: in theory yes, but not with a simple LP search | 13:56 |
| pitti | mdz: such a bug would have a Dependencies.txt attachment added after several comments were already made | 13:56 |
| pitti | mdz: i. e. it can be told by looking at the activity log | 13:56 |
| pitti | mdz: I guess it's possible to craft a custom SQL query | 13:57 |

| liw | mvo, looking at #76740 - I can see in the glade file that several of the dialogs are indeed missing window titles; should I add them and send you a patch (or branch to merge, whichever is easier for you)? or is it too late to fix this in jaunty? | 15:02 |
| jdstrand | Riddell: assuming all the length calculations are correct, then yes it looks fine. Those calculations are a bit hairy to verify, but appear correct. I wonder if it would be easier/safer to error out if c2 is larger than c1? | 15:05 |
| jdstrand | Riddell: that said, if this is the patch upstream wants, I have no problems | 15:06 |
| Riddell | jdstrand: it's not by upstream, it's by one of us, hello agateau | 15:06 |
| Riddell | 15:05 < jdstrand> Riddell: assuming all the length calculations are correct, then yes it looks fine. Those calculations are a bit hairy to verify, but appear correct. I wonder if it would be easier/safer to error out if c2 is larger than c1? | 15:06 |
| agateau | hi | 15:08 |
| agateau | jdstrand: what do you mean with "easier/safer to error out if c2 is larger than c1?" | 15:08 |
| jdstrand | XMLSTR _tcscpy(XMLSTR c1, XMLCSTR c2) | 15:09 |
| agateau | if c2 is larger, c1 will only contains the amount of char it can hold | 15:09 |
| jdstrand | agateau: assuming the length calculation is correct | 15:09 |
| agateau | jdstrand: true | 15:10 |
| jdstrand | agateau: I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying this code is a bit swirly and hard to verify :) | 15:10 |
| agateau | jdstrand: i see what you mean :) | 15:10 |
| jdstrand | agateau: not your additions, mind, just how it processes the string | 15:10 |
| agateau | I would have been more confident if there was some unit test | 15:11 |
| agateau | but I played a bit with msntest program | 15:11 |
| agateau | and I have been chatting with a friend (who was surprised to find me on msn again) for an hour now | 15:11 |
| jdstrand | agateau: so two things could be done-- you can simply write a '\0' at the end of the string, based on your length calculation or based on your calculation, error out | 15:12 |
| agateau | so at least it does not introduce immediate crash | 15:12 |
| agateau | jdstrand: my patch does write \0 at the end | 15:12 |
| jdstrand | agateau: yes, I mean before that (ie, not in _tcscpy()) | 15:13 |
| jdstrand | then you could use strlen in tcscpy | 15:13 |
| mvo | liw: too late for jaunty, because of the UI freeze | 15:13 |
| jdstrand | agateau: that seems a bit weird though | 15:13 |
| agateau | jdstrand: oh, you mean write '\0' at the end of the source string? | 15:14 |
| jdstrand | agateau: yes | 15:14 |
| liw | mvo, ack, then I won't work on the patch | 15:14 |
| mvo | liw: but if you fix it in bzr or assign to you and tag later that would be cool | 15:14 |
| agateau | jdstrand: that would be less invasive indeed | 15:14 |
| liw | (now) | 15:14 |
| jdstrand | agateau: it should already be there, so there shouldn't be a problem with normal strings | 15:14 |
| * agateau looks at what it would imply | 15:15 | |
| agateau | jdstrand: the thing is: it means one has to take care of every call to _tcscpy(), and missing one call won't cause a compile error | 15:17 |
| jdstrand | agateau: the other option is to not change _tcscpy at all and instead treat it like strcpy(), and error out if source is longer than dest, based on your calculations | 15:17 |
| jdstrand | agateau: well, you are doing that anyway, aren't you? | 15:18 |
| jdstrand | agateau: oh I see what you mean, bec you changed it, the compiler will blow up | 15:18 |
| agateau | jdstrand: yes | 15:18 |
| agateau | and I had to propagate the changes up to where i know the buffer size | 15:18 |
| apw | pitti on the apport thing, i guess my point was that it all depends if there is a 1:1 correspondance from the type to the dialog or from the type to the tags | 15:19 |
| apw | i was seeing the type as essentially the dialog to use, and would expect us to have more than one tag possible from that type | 15:19 |
| pitti | apw: to both actually (well, currently anyway, since I had no reason to do it in any other way) | 15:19 |
| apw | right its that way right now | 15:19 |
| jdstrand | agateau: if you are confident that the patch introduces no regressions, I feel ok with it. the length calculation doesn't seem like it should be grossly off (if at all) and a 1 char heap overflow with jaunty's gcc protections would be very hard to exploit | 15:20 |
| apw | but i was envisioning makeing the tag changable was the easiest way to fix it | 15:20 |
| pitti | apw: if you are happy with the dialogs, and it's just a matter of tags, then it's easy to add a "Tags" field to the report object, that launchpad.py appends to the standard tags | 15:20 |
| apw | i think the dialog had become changable dependant on the kernel error type anyhow | 15:21 |
| agateau | jdstrand: in my (limited) testing it worked ok | 15:21 |
| === Ampelbein is now known as ampelbein | ||
| apw | we might want to say use Tags in preference to main tag or something | 15:21 |
| apw | though i think we already have Tags adding tags as it were | 15:21 |
| agateau | jdstrand: I am quite new to Ubuntu development, so I will let Riddell handle the rest | 15:22 |
| pitti | apw: ah, indeed | 15:22 |
| pitti | apw: gosh, seems apport grew too big for me to remember every impleemted detail :/ | 15:22 |
| jdstrand | agateau: perhaps think about what we talked about for a bit, then decide how to proceed. I'll leave the regression testing in the capable hands of Riddell, you and the kde team | 15:23 |
| pitti | apw: so, apportcheckresume already adds that; shouldn't that suffice? | 15:23 |
| apw | pitti, right now we have apport-oops and resume always on suspend or hibernate bugs | 15:23 |
| apw | so we can tell them appart, i thought that someone other than | 15:24 |
| apw | us had an issue with it being -oops or something | 15:24 |
| agateau | jdstrand: yes, sounds wise | 15:24 |
| pitti | apw: seems this was a misunderstanding then; mdz might have looked at older reports which didn't tag themselves with "suspend" yet? | 15:24 |
| jdstrand | agateau: regarding all calls to tcscpy()-- keep in mind that tcscpy is only used by xmlParser.cpp, and libmsn just imported this file wholesale, so I think as long as you get everything in there, you would be fine. | 15:25 |
| jdstrand | agateau: if that is the route you choose | 15:25 |
| agateau | jdstrand: true | 15:26 |
| mdz | pitti: it is possible to tell them apart, but it's not always convenient | 15:30 |

| lool | albeit I had this uncommit filed I added in a checkout once, but I'm not sure whether rebase or me broke it | 15:45 |
| slangasek | mdz: yes, plausible that it's a kernel race; but only varying the X driver version has so far made the crashes disappear for me | 15:45 |
| slangasek | pitti: acpi-fakekey: it will work in the specific case that the first keyboard device that acpi-fakekey tries to open is one that happens to have that hotkey in its keymap definition :-P | 15:46 |

| \sh | cjwatson: any quick fix that I can try out? | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | \sh: wait | 17:33 |
| \sh | cjwatson: well, it's funny..because actually it's a raid but hardware raid ;) | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | \sh: yeah, but it has metadata on it that dmraid thinks belongs to it | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | apparently | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | \sh: this is a bug, of course | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | \sh: if you haven't already, please do file a bug on dmraid about the misdetection | 17:35 |
| \sh | cjwatson: I can move the bug I filed to partman-dmraid or dmraid? | 17:35 |
| mpt | DnaX, well it's a bit better than the status quo. :-) Not in Ubuntu for another week, unfortunately, because we're in beta freeze. But you could submit it upstream. | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | \sh: no, I already moved it to the proper place, which is grub-installer | 17:36 |
| DnaX | mpt: i've just submitted to upstrem ;) | 17:36 |
| cjwatson | \sh: the misdetection is a separate bug, which should be filed on dmraid and investigated | 17:36 |
| \sh | cjwatson: ok..I'll file another bug :) | 17:36 |
| DnaX | too later for jaunty? :( | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | \sh: do you need automatic installation support here? | 17:37 |

| mpt | DnaX, I don't know sorry. You could try proposing it for Jaunty and see what happens. | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | \sh: just 8.10? | 17:38 |
| \sh | cjwatson: jepp...or actually I could use jaunty too... | 17:38 |
| \sh | cjwatson: I just used 8.10 because of latest stable release...we need it for tomcat crap..and intrepid is the first one with a good tomcat6 packaging | 17:39 |
| cjwatson | \sh: well, I'll get it fixed in jaunty, but this should do it for intrepid, I think: | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | d-i partman/early_command string sed -i '/^if.*dmraid/s/; then/ \&\& false; then/' /usr/bin/grub-installer | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | \sh: actually it'd be nice to have confirmation of that before I shove this into jaunty :-) | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | (I'll use a slightly more sophisticated fix in jaunty that doesn't break dmraid, of course) | 17:40 |
| \sh | cjwatson: give me a couple of mins I'll put this in my preseed and come back to you | 17:41 |

| \sh | cjwatson: ok..installing :) | 17:48 |
| \sh | cjwatson: btw...how can I disable apt-setup-udeb apt-setup/services-select multiselect security, which is set by default, and slows the preseed installation down, when there is no real internet connection...I tried to set it with an empty string, but it just waits there for security.ubuntu.com | 17:49 |
| eeejay | hey DnaX, need python bindiings for libindicate? | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | \sh: it must be something else that's waiting, then; setting that to empty does disable apt-setup's security generator | 17:51 |
| eeejay | DnaX: did you get hold of the bzr branch? | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | \sh: from your logs, it's a much earlier point | 17:52 |
| DnaX | eeejay: i'm not a python developer... but my knowledge is sufficient for a small patch :P | 17:53 |
| eeejay | DnaX: a small patch for what? | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | \sh: you could set apt-setup/security_host (and apt-setup/security_path if necessary) to a local mirror of -security, or at least to something that will fail quickly | 17:53 |

| cjwatson | lool: ok, I think I've now done something about almost all the armel uninstallables, and at any rate all of the ones I expect you to care about | 19:01 |
| cjwatson | it'll take a few hours for all the builds to churn though | 19:01 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: Do you have any hints for easily figuring out why something is uninstallable on an arch one doesn't have access to? | 19:04 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: chdist | 19:04 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: Thanks. | 19:04 |
| cjwatson | it's great, once you have it set up you do 'chdist apt-get jaunty-armel install <foo>' | 19:04 |
| cjwatson | absolute godsend | 19:04 |
| ScottK | That sounds like what I've been looking for. | 19:05 |
| cjwatson | or even build-dep rather than install | 19:05 |
| ScottK | For build failures the logs are reasonably useful. But for install failures, I hadn't found anything. | 19:06 |
| cjwatson | you still have to drill down in the usual way with apt-get, but it no longer takes an eternity of staring at the screen | 19:06 |

| slangasek | kees: need an MIR opinion on nvclock | 23:04 |
| slangasek | (an initial impression) | 23:04 |
| kees | slangasek: #? | 23:04 |
| slangasek | kees: we have smartdimmer in main, which is an old fork of some code from nvclock that's pulled in by acpi-support; it's stale and doesn't work on current nvidia-based laptops | 23:05 |
| slangasek | kees: no bug yet | 23:05 |
| * kees fetches | 23:05 | |
| slangasek | kees: so we can fix this bug by killing off the smartdimmer source package, merging the new upstream version of nvclock from Debian, building a new smartdimmer binary package, and yay | 23:06 |
| slangasek | nvclock is currently in universe, so y'all are the first stop :) | 23:06 |
| kees | right, reading through it now | 23:06 |
| kees | it has a pile of lintian warnings, but it is being maintained (updated Feb 20th). Perhaps we could pull it before it goes into main? | 23:07 |
| slangasek | "pull it" --> "do the merge first"? | 23:08 |
| kees | yeah | 23:08 |
| kees | it'd be nice to clean up the lintian warnings too. | 23:09 |
| ilowe | where can I read about the build process for the official livecds? | 23:09 |
| slangasek | could do; requires two uploads instead of one then, since that implies not hijacking the smartdimmer binary initially | 23:09 |
| slangasek | but if that's you're preference, I'll get started there | 23:09 |
| ilowe | I found the Debian/Live project but I'm looking for the Ubuntu-specific stuff | 23:09 |
| kees | I think that would be a good way to go -- the more recent one closed several Debian-reported bugs. | 23:09 |

| kees | I was just going to say that the code looked a little scary | 23:10 |
| slangasek | :) | 23:10 |
| kees | in what context does this run? as the user or as root? | 23:11 |
| slangasek | kees: rooty | 23:11 |
| slangasek | twiddling hardware, nom nom | 23:11 |
| slangasek | there's no unsanitized user input to it, though | 23:12 |
| slangasek | (when running as root) | 23:12 |
| kees | yeah, was trying to make that determination | 23:12 |
| slangasek | it's not suid, currently nothing /at all/ invokes it by default; cf. bug #345531, asking for the smartdimmer integration to be readded to acpi-support for jaunty | 23:13 |

| slangasek | yuck, why does that buffer_overflow patch take 122 lines to fix a single buffer overflow :P | 23:14 |
| kees | slangasek: yeah, I think if this got general packaging cleanups, I think it would be in a "supportable" shape. I would +1 it after a merge, standards update, and misc fixes to get rid of the various lintian warnings. they all look trivial, but annoying to have in main. | 23:14 |
