mathiazkirkland: do you remember what's the state of acpi in jaunty? Is acpid supposed to be running?00:01
mathiazkirkland: it seems that the jaunty installer doesn't install acpid by default anymore00:02
mathiazkirkland: which explains why virsh shutdown vm-id doesn't work00:02
kirklandmathiaz: i have it installed on my desktop00:02
kirklandmathiaz: perhaps it got dropped as a recommends somwhere?00:02
kirklandmathiaz: and we need to re-add it to the server seed?00:02
mathiazkirkland: IIRC there is some code in the installer that checks if /proc/acpi/ is available and if so installs acpid.00:03
cjwatsonyes, in hw-detect. It only works if it's on the CD.00:03
cjwatsonthere was substantial conversation recently about acpid being obsoleted by other packages00:03
cjwatsonslangasek might remember more00:03
mathiazcjwatson: oh. And acpi is not the -server isos.00:04
cr3strictly speaking, what's the difference between a "package archive" and a "repository"?00:04
cjwatsoncr3: do you believe that there is a difference?00:06
thiebaudei thought older packages are kept in the archive00:06
cjwatsonmathiaz: acpi != acpid00:06
cr3cjwatson: not to my knowledge, but I was wondering if these were strictly synonyms or whether there might be a slight difference00:06
cjwatsonthiebaude: that would be a pretty confusing term to use for Ubuntu given that it's archive.ubuntu.com00:07
cjwatsoncr3: they're both somewhat fuzzy terms but I would regard them as essentially synonyms, unless perhaps there's some clarifying context00:07
cr3cjwatson: for example, maybe archive.ubuntu.com/ is the repository and maybe ubuntu/ is the archive. just thinking out loud00:07
cjwatsonno00:07
mathiazcjwatson: well - neither acpi, nor acpid is on the -server iso.00:07
thiebaudethen current packages are not kept in a archive :)00:07
cjwatsonthiebaude: current packages are, as it happens, kept in an archive.00:08
cjwatson"archive" and "repository" are two more-or-less synonymous terms for something you point apt at.00:08
mathiazkirkland: I think acpid should be put back on the -server iso.00:08
mathiazkirkland: IIUC it's an important component of the suspend/resume for server spec.00:09
cjwatsonexcept that isn't quite accurate because you actually point apt at a single distribution and a set of components within an archive, in each sources.list line00:09
cr3cjwatson: might it make a difference when you point apt to a series (.../ubuntu jaunty main) and when you point apt to a directory (.../ubuntu ./)?00:09
cjwatsoncr3: man sources.list00:09
kirklandmathiaz: yeah, i concur00:09
thiebaudecjwatson: i think i'am starting to understand00:09
kirklandmathiaz: you wanna do that?  or did you want me to?00:10
mathiazkirkland: you can do it - I was wondering why acpi stopped working in my freshly installed jaunty kvm guests.00:11
mathiazkirkland: you may wanna wait afte beta though.00:11
cjwatsoncr3: which uses "archive" consistently for both meanings, but AFAIK you could replace "archive" with "repository" throughout and get the same meaning00:11
mathiazkirkland: I don't think it's a beta blocker.00:11
kirklandslangasek: when would it be safe for us to add acpid back to the server-ship seed?00:11
cr3cjwatson: ok, thanks for the clarification00:12
cjwatsonthiebaude: Debian has archive.debian.org, which holds archived versions of no-longer-current Debian releases. The name clash with archive.ubuntu.com is perhaps slightly unfortunate, but we were aware of it at the time and decided that it was not terribly important00:13
cjwatsonthiebaude: the equivalent for Ubuntu is old-releases.ubuntu.com00:14
cjwatsonand old versions of packages that weren't necessarily final versions in a given release are kept on Launchpad00:14
kirklandmathiaz: it only needs to be in server-ship, right?00:14
cjwatsonSigh. Bugs should not have a user-visible importance.00:14
mathiazkirkland: yes00:14
cjwatsonIt just leads to people making irrelevant complaints about their bug having the "wrong" importance.00:15
cjwatson(I'm trolling slightly ...)00:15
slangasekkirkland: "back"?00:27
slangasekkirkland: ah, so it's available for apt-install.  Mmm, do it now and I can get it included for beta.00:28
slangasekmathiaz: ^^00:29
slangasekit's not a beta blocker, but I've just now rerolled ubuntu-server and can do so again if you want this in00:29

TwoToneSpiritSo, if one wants to get their feet wet in Ubuntu-devel, what's the language of choice to learn?01:09
ebroder"Makefiles"01:10
TwoToneSpiritebroder:   Was that meant for me?01:12
=== Snova_ is now known as Snova
ebroderTwoToneSpirit: Yes, but somewhat jokingly01:14
ebroderTwoToneSpirit: Makefiles are the core of Debian/Ubuntu packages, although there are usualy several layers abstracting that away01:15
ebroderUbuntu uses Python fairly extensively for a lot of the custom development that's done01:15
TwoToneSpiritI currently regard PHP as my primary language01:16
ebroderThat being said, there are packages that use just about every language imaginable - I doubt there are many languages that wouldn't be useful01:16
cjwatsonTwoToneSpirit: I find Ubuntu development is a heck of a lot easier if you're prepared to work in several different languages01:16
TwoToneSpiritI hear that Python is a natural next step from PHP for many people01:16
cjwatsonpeople do ask this question a lot here, but there is no good answer to it01:16
TwoToneSpiritcjwatson:  Well that's why I asked about getting my feet wet :-)01:16
cjwatsonPython is used a lot for many things in Ubuntu, but in order to work with packaging you'll also need the rudiments of GNU Make and the Unix shell01:17
calci finally have all my upstream bugs linked :)01:17
cjwatsonand familiarity with C, Perl, and maybe C++ is unlikely to hurt either01:17
cjwatsonit's much more important to have the skill of picking up languages than it is to know any particular language, I find :)01:17
cjwatsonas ebroder says, distributions are made up of a wide variety of software written in nearly every language under the sun01:18
calcaiui some languages are more evil (lisp) than others, heh01:18
IntuitiveNippleThe best language to learn for packaging, is Telepathy :)01:18
ebroderAww! I <3 lisp. Well, Scheme01:18
cjwatsonthere are mini-languages in Ubuntu that exist for a single purpose01:19

* Amaranth files 40 more bugs targeted to 9.0402:56

Amaranthonly 426? that's not bad03:00
Amaranthand most of them are upstream, nice03:00
calcfor some reason the number of bugs not triaged shows as 36 but when you click on it you can only see 3503:00
calci wonder if one of the bugs is hidden from me for 'security' reasons03:00
Amaranthyou aren't in the ubuntu-bugs team?03:01
calcyea, but even then you can't see security bugs until subscribed03:01
calcthere is a higher level elite launchpad bugs access level03:01

calckees: upstream bug report claims there are 36 but it only shows me 3503:02
Amaranthcalc: I used to be in some team that had access to security bugs03:02
calckees: if there is something that is marked special i probably need to be subscribed to it03:02
keescalc: I see 35.  Perhaps upstream report is out of date?03:02
Amaranththought it was ubuntu-bugs03:02
calckees: maybe so, i thought it was always up to date03:02
keeshm, dunno03:03
calci can see if i can find someone on the launchpad team to check it out for me03:03
calckees: thanks for checking for me :)03:04
keescalc: sure, no problem.03:05
macoAmaranth: bug-control can see private-not-CVE bugs03:05
macodunno about CVEs though03:05
Amaranththat was it03:05
AmaranthI stupidly let it expire03:05
calcmaco: aiui bug-control can't see private bugs marked as security, not just cve bugs03:05
Amaranthalong with motu03:05
cjwatsonby definition private bugs are only visible to their subscribers03:06
macooh ok03:06
macoive never seen a security one that didnt say cve03:06
calccjwatson: ah so it could be a bug on OOo is private that does not have bug-control or security team on it?03:06
cjwatsonthis is not to say that ubuntu-bugcontrol or some related team is not subscribed to some private bugs03:06
macocjwatson: bug control can see them too to check the crash reports03:06
cjwatsoncalc: entirely possible03:06
calccjwatson: you don't happen to have master access or something like that do you? :)03:07
keesprivate bugs are private -- only subscribers can see them.  most private bugs start their life as private security bugs, and as such, security is subscribed to them, even after they're unmarked security and only the security team can unsubscribe the security team, so we tend to be able to see any private bug.03:07
cjwatsonmaco: only because apport explicitly subscribes "crash bug triagers for main packages" or whatever it is to those bugs03:07

sbeattiedoes the apport-retracer process a bug if it's already been marked as a duplicate of another bug?07:09
pittisbeattie: no, those are ignored07:16
sbeattiepitti: okay, thanks.07:18
sbeattiepitti: BTW, it'd be useful to extend apport-collect to take a crash file as an argument.07:19
pittisbeattie: that would attach the info in the .crash file to a bug report?07:20
pittisbeattie: I'd rather have apport-{gtk,qt,cli} do that, or a separate script07:20
pittisbeattie: there's an existing bug report for that, too07:21
sbeattiepitti: have apport-{gtk,qt,cli} attach to an existing report rather than always create a new one?07:21
pittisomething like that07:21
pittiwell, I don't particularly mind which does which07:22
sbeattiepitti: sure, I'm not picky about the solution; I just dislike currently creating a duplicate bug so I can do the apport collection when I've recreated a bug on something that didn't get one to begin with for whatever reason (in this case, failure of mdadm while booting)07:23

slangasekso they're not set by default, but referenced if someone sets them, hmm08:23
Keybukright, but the reason we never did that originally is because filesystem labels are trivial to clash08:24
Keybukif you have two disks with LABEL=root08:24
slangasekyes08:24
Keybukit's not just that the wrong one might be mounted08:24
slangasekI don't know why we're doing that, then08:24
Keybukbut that the one that is mounted is picked AT RANDOM08:24
slangasekbut it worries me a bit less than the idea that we were doing this on all new installs08:24
Keybukit's fine if the user uses LABEL= themselves, and puts that in fstab themselves (which is why we've always supported it)08:24
Keybukbut any automatically generated file imo should never use it08:25

loolTheMuso: It regularly exits with "E: cpulimit.c: Received request to terminate due to CPU overload." particularly on sites with flash; there's a wiki page on the pulseaudio wiki to debug such issues which suggest it might be driver related; http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/BrokenSoundDrivers however doesn't work for me as the proposed test case spawns pulseaudio for me08:42

sorenHow does grub figure out on which partition to look for its configuration file? Does it have the partition ID hardwired into the stage 1.5 loader?09:18
liwsoren, I believe it does09:20
seb128liw: hey, do you still work on computer-janitor?09:23
liwseb128, sure09:24
seb128liw: you seem to not be subscribed to its bugs on launchpad, could you consider the patch on bug #344704 or at least comment? the application is one of the few poorly translated in jaunty right now due to that09:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 344704 in computer-janitor "[I18N] Wrong translation domain in ui_gtk.py, some translations not shown" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34470409:25
cjwatsonKeybuk: the installer now uses them if they're explicitly set (but otherwise uses UUIDs, as obviously labels aren't suitable for automatic assignment); furthermore, it will not allow you to proceed past the partitioner if you have any duplicate labels09:25
liwseb128, I am getting all its bug mail, certainly; I'll apply the patch as soon as I get around to it09:25
seb128liw: ok, launchpad is still weird to me your name is not on the list on the side of this page for example, anyway thanks for considering that one09:27
seb128liw: would be nice to get it fixed just after beta so translators have time to test it and make sure it works good and update their translations if required09:27
Keybukcjwatson: why does it do that though?09:29
Keybukwhen we originally discussed this back on Montréal, we explicitly ruled out ever writing LABEL= by default09:29
cjwatsonKeybuk: because labels are a lot more readable, and if the user explicitly set some, then it's probably because they wanted to use it09:29
Keybuksince labels are most likely to be the filesystem's purpose09:30
Keybukie. "/" or "root" or "home" or "/home"09:30
Keybukthey are much more likely to clash if you put an extra disk in your machine09:30
Keybukor even just a usb key09:30
Keybukand then you end up with random mount behaviour09:30
Keybukwe agreed that if a user wanted to use a label in /etc/fstab, they could put it their themselves09:30
cjwatsonsigh.09:30
Keybukbut that we would never put them there automatically09:30
cjwatsonok, I'll revert it post-beta.09:30
Keybukthanks09:30
cjwatsonand try to explain to debian-boot@ what's going on09:31
cjwatsonbecause this was explicitly requested there upon trying to get the UUID changes into Debian09:31
KeybukI really just think seeding mount-by-label automatically is dangerous09:31
Keybukif I plug a usb key in, it's generally slightly more likely to win than the sata disk controller09:31
Keybukbut not always09:31
Keybukso the random behaviour is just too much of a risk09:31
cjwatsonI'd only remembered the duplicate label issue09:34
seb128TheMuso: do we really need this orca menu item? it adds a menu category for something which opens a command line tool ...09:34
cjwatsonKeybuk: I think I'll add a partman/mount_by_label preseed or similar09:34
cjwatsondefaulting to false09:34
Keybukthat'd be ok09:35
KeybukI don't mind if a user takes an action to use them, then it's their fault09:35
Keybukand when they file a bug, we can go "aha! but you did foo, so don't do that then"09:35
cjwatsondo we need to unwind this for beta to avoid having to support upgraded systems?09:35
KeybukI'd just release note it09:35
cjwatsonTHE RIGHT ANSWER09:35
Keybukwhen did the installer start using labels?09:36
cjwatson24 Feb09:36
Keybukyeah, I'd just release note that - say that systems installed may use label in /etc/fstab - and that this could cause unexpected behaviour if another disk with the same label is added later09:37
Keybukwith instruction on how to find the uuid of the device09:37

pittikirkland: very cool stuff!15:26
kirklandpitti: :-)15:26
kirklandpitti: woohoo!15:27
pittikirkland: I have two bugs, which I'll file on LP now, and one question15:27
kirklandpitti: k15:27
pittikirkland: I noticed that there's some stuff in /var/lib/ecryptfs/username/15:27
pittikirkland: is it possible in any way to move them to /home/username/.ecryptfs/?15:27
pittikirkland: to make /home self-sustained?15:27
pittikirkland: so far I have had /home on a separate partition, and just threw away / for a reinstall15:27
pittilikewise, I could boot several OSes with sharing /home15:28
pittihaving the metadata separated will break those use cases15:28
kirklandpitti: so that's a complex question15:28
kirklandpitti: basically, it comes down to this....15:28
pittikirkland: if that's not possible for some reasons, never mind15:28
pittijust wishful thinking :)15:28
kirklandpitti: your .ecryptfs directory needs to be readable when $HOME is mounted, and when it's not15:28
pittiand I wondered whether it makes sense to write a bug report for this15:28
pittikirkland: right, understand15:28
kirklandpitti: ecryptfs has a "passthrough" option15:28
pittikirkland: it would need to be '"transparently" passed through the encryption15:29
kirklandpitti: but i found it buggy, unreliable, and confusing to users15:29
kirklandpitti: right15:29
pittimuch like for files I add to ~/.Private on my workstation15:29
kirklandpitti: and that's what passthrough is15:29
pittiI see15:29
kirklandpitti: but there's no policy governance support for passthrough15:29
pittikirkland: so it's possible in principle, but a matter of bugs/15:29
pitti?15:29
kirklandpitti: so ecryptfs doesn't know what to do if you want to write a new file in a directory that was passedthrough15:30
kirklandpitti: is that new file encrypted, or not15:30
kirklandpitti: same with if you append to an existing file15:30
kirklandpitti: or delete a file, and create a new one15:30
kirklandpitti: anyway, that needs to be solved in the kernel, and it's not yet15:30
pittikirkland: I guess it'd be too evil to special-case ".ecryptfs/"?15:30
apwkirkland, how about instead of that15:30
kirklandpitti: we actually considered that15:30
apwyou loopback mount ~/.ecryptfs to /var/foo15:31
kirklandpitti: i think "evil" was sort of the conclusion....15:31
pittiapw: bind mount, you mean?15:31
apwand then loopback mounted an empty dir over it15:31
jordiTheMuso: ping?15:31
apwandthen mounted home over the top15:31
apwpitti, yes15:31
apwso its in there, but not15:31
apwin fact15:31
jordiTheMuso, pitti: there's a discussion in the Debian ALSA team regarding what to do about asoundconf.15:31
kirklandapw: pitti: yeah, i think persia suggested that15:32
apwwhat if you bind mounted out of there, then moutned your encrypted mount15:32
pittijordi: ugh, *blows the dust away*, that still exists..15:32
kirklandapw: pitti: cjwatson challenged me to keep this to one-mount-per-user using ecryptfs15:32
apwand bind mountd the original again over the top15:32
apwoh that a shame15:32
kirklandpitti: the option I very much preferred was /home/.pitti mounted on /home/pitti15:32
pittikirkland: one just needs to be aware that /var/lib/ecryptfs/ is part of /home now15:32
jordiTheMuso, pitti: we're getting bugs, I've noticed we don't have some fixes/additions that are present in Ubuntu packages and if we're going to keep it in Debian we really need someone from Ubuntu taking care of that part15:33
kirklandpitti: you could do this ....15:33
kirklandpitti: i agree15:33
jordiTheMuso, pitti: elimar removed it entirely from SVN, I'm holding the upload while I try to make a decision which maybe is less drastic...15:33
pittijordi, TheMuso: do you actually think that we still need it? at least in GNOME and KDE we have much better ways to configure audio now..15:33
jordipitti: but your reaction was funny. :)15:33
pittijordi: I'm all for that15:34
kirklandpitti: you can move /var/lib/ecryptfs/$USER wherever you want ... just put a symlink back to that location15:34
kirklandpitti: and actually, it's just $HOME/.ecryptfs that needs to be correct15:34
jordipitti: honestly I'd be happy to drop the python dep and get rid of it entirely15:34
pittijordi: it might have been a good hack 5 years ago, but right now I feel that it's hopelessly outdated by all the pulseaudio stuff15:34
kirklandpitti: break the symlinks which are in *both* your mounted and unmounted $HOME/.ecryptfs15:34
kirklandpitti: and put them wherever you want15:34
kirklandpitti: such as /home/.$USER/.ecryptfs15:34
pittikirkland: ah, so I could put it into /home/.martin?15:34
jordipitti: nod, Debian doesn't do pulseaudio by default though. Maybe this is a good time to push it15:35
pittikirkland: nice15:35
kirklandpitti: aboslutely15:35
kirklandpitti: in fact ....15:35
pittijordi: eventually Debian will have to as well15:35
pittijordi: it's more and more becoming a required GNOME component15:35
brycemdz, whoa it was the timestamping patch?  How ironic.  Well, we had planned to disable that around beta time all along.  Cool, I'll post it today15:35
jordipitti: how does pulse replace asoundconf15:35
kirklandpitti: mine is in /dev/sdb1, which is a pcmcia card15:35
kirklandpitti: which means that i *must* have that pcmcia card in my computer to login15:35
pittijordi: for jaunty we jumped through some hoops to keep it halfway optional, but we can't sustain that15:35
kirklandpitti: voila!  2-factor authenttication ;-)15:35
mdzbryce: I'm not sure I agree that we should disable it; I find it extremely useful when debugging and don't see any harm in it15:36
kirklandpitti: i can step away from laptop, take my sd-card with me, and my encrypted data is not accessible ;-)15:36

kirklandpitti: just make sure you update both symlinks in mounted and unmounted $HOME/.ecryptfs15:37

brycemdz, I agree it can be useful for debugging, but I'm thinking that we do more debugging during development than after release so that is when it is maximally useful.  Post-release, there is value in having it in that it makes the log less cluttery and more similar to what upstream is accustomed to.  As well, as this bug has shown, even a debug patch can have bugs in it...15:48
brycemdz, but we can discuss retaining it if you feel strongly that we should.15:49

macoTwoToneSpirit: different wallpaper is already implemented in compiz, isnt it?17:31
TwoToneSpiritmaco:  Sort of.  The problem is that one needs to completely disable nautilus, and thus operate with no icons.  Perhaps my quest needs to start with nautilus.17:33
TwoToneSpiritmaco, et. al.:  One way or another, I want to get into devel, and I just don't know where to begin.17:33
seb128is there any reason ubuntu-devel-list gets merge requests emails?17:34
cjwatsonseb128: we decided we wanted to move ubuntu-core-dev's contact address to a mailing list so that individual developers stopped being spammed by that sort of thing17:34
cjwatsonseb128: we (TB) debated back and forth a bit, and ultimately ubuntu-devel seemed reasonable since it's useful for contributors to see the patch review process17:34
cjwatsonseb128: if it gets too noisy we might split off a separate list or something17:35
seb128isn't that a way to say to launchpad to not email about such things nowadays or to use a virtual launchpad where you can subscribe?17:35

cjwatsonwe could move to lists.launchpad.net, yes. I'm not sure it's necessary yet; merge requests are pretty on-topic as ubuntu-devel goes17:36
james_wyou could change the subscription settings for core-dev for each branch17:36

cjwatsonseb128: is the volume really prohibitive right now?17:38
seb128cjwatson: I'm not clear what would be better but I perceive those emails on the list as noise right now17:39
cjwatsonit's a lot less than sponsorship requests would be right now, I believe17:39
cjwatsonand I do think it's a lot better than mailing individual developers17:39
seb128cjwatson: no, we just got 7 in a day which made me start about them17:39
cjwatsonso the only alternative IMO is another list17:39
seb128it's not an issue right now but if we start using this launchpad feature often it will get noisy17:40
seb128the other alternative I see is to filter those out in the list configuration17:40
seb128and use an another way to go through the pending requests as we do for sponsoring17:40
seb128anyway it's not really a real issue for now since we don't get a lot of those17:42

punkrockguyThe strange thing is that it works perfect on 8.04 and it does not recognize input on 9.04 even with the exact same code.. It's based on SDL however the sdl libraries are the same in 8.10 and 9.04, I really have no idea what could make it work on one and not the other17:52

kirklandpitti: hmm, that's not quite it19:22
kirklandpitti: does it take a logout?19:22
siretartmvo: yes, there was a master thesis that implemented a cdburner. but you would need to ask sistpoty about its status19:22
siretartmvo: is faumachine already in the archive?19:23
pittikirkland: no, it just works19:23
siretart(I believe sistpoty was the supervisor of that thesis)19:23
pittikirkland: sudo LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 adduser ... will work19:23
pittikirkland: that sets it just for one command19:23
kirklandpitti: k19:23
pittikirkland: you need to have the locale generated, though19:23
kirklandpitti: did that19:23
pittiah, hang on19:23
pittikirkland: indeed you need language-pack-de19:24
pittikirkland: since otherwise you can't get any actual translation :)19:24
kirkland:-)19:24
* kirkland foobars his system with german nonsense19:24
kirkland:-P19:24
kirklandpitti: cool, now I have insgesamt 76819:26
kirklandhehe19:26
mvosiretart: I think it was added some days ago, but I might be wrong19:26
siretartmvo: cool!19:27
mvoogra: who should I bug aobut moddle? it appears to be hanging with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive in my upgrade test19:27
siretartmvo: it will be a great asset for the qa team, e.g. for simulating live cd installs19:27
pittikirkland: sehr gut!19:27
ogra mvo hmm LaserJock did some work on it19:28
mvosiretart: yeah, I would like to simulate a upgrade with a bad CD19:28
ograi didnt touch it since about a year19:28
mvoogra: ok, thanks19:28
kirklandpitti: i think this will get me what I need: ls -Al | egrep "^[drwx-]{10}"19:29
siretartmvo: oh, that means that you don't actually need the burner, but just the regular faumachine cd drive. I think fault injection should work just fine there, but as said, better ask sistpoty to check that19:29
kirklandpitti: thank goodness file perm chars aren't translated :-P19:29
siretartmvo: if not, I'm sure he can implement that easily. after all, his phd work is about the faumachine vhdl compiler :-)19:30
pittikirkland: OMGno :)19:30
kirklandpitti: seriously?  or joking?19:30
pittikirkland: if they were translated, madness would start19:31
kirklandpitti: heh, okay :-)19:31
kirklandpitti: i thought you were hating on my egrep19:31
lamontstgraber: around?19:32
lamontstgraber: --> /pm19:32
mvosiretart: heh :) ok - thanks, I will try to catch him when he is online19:36
kirklandpitti: woohoo!  fixed.19:36
kirklandpitti: i'll commit to upstream bzr, and upload ecryptfs-utils 73-0ubuntu2 when the freeze ends ;-)19:36
slytherinseb128: did you get any time to do the DVD playback testing?19:36
pittikirkland: yay you19:37
kirklandpitti: i needed some 'success' today, after many, many hours/days fighting with mdadm19:38
seb128slytherin: it works now on my desktop and laptop using severals DVDs with the jaunty versions19:38
slytherinseb128: Ok. It fails for me with 5-6 DVDs I tried.19:39
seb128weird19:39
slytherinseb128: do the DVDs you tried have menus?19:39
seb128yes19:39
seb128menus worked19:40
seb128to select chapters or audio tracks19:40
cbrdamn.. enabling KMS just blanks the screen on boot19:40
seb128or episodes19:40
cbrit boots, when i presume that X starts, the backlight lights up, but nothing is on the screen19:40
slytherinseb128: so what do you suggest? I have got one response on the bug that the repository package does not work and my fixed package works.19:41
seb128slytherin: I don't suggest anything so far out of doing a call for testing on jaunty beta19:41
seb128ie send an email on -discuss list for example19:41
seb128and ask if dvd playing works for people after installing what is required19:41
keesKeybuk: fail.19:42
slytherinseb128: Ok. I will send a mail.19:42
seb128as said it was broken for me19:42
keesKeybuk: blkid ran away at 100% cpus, for like 12 instances.  udev did not start my RAID (but did start LVM once I brought the RAID up)19:42
seb128and now it works on 2 boxes19:42
slytherinhmm19:42
seb128so I'm not sure what fixed it there but I can't debug if I don't get the bug19:42
keesKeybuk: hardward loading stalled (I assume because of all the stuck blkids, udevsettle never returned)19:43
slytherinright.19:43
keess/hardward/hardware/19:43
slytherinseb128: last really silly question. I am assuming that you gave gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad installed and resindvd plugin is getting used, correct?19:49
seb128yes and I think so19:49
slangasekTheMuso: ubuntustudio apparently has some uninstallable packages on the latest ISO, which weren't uninstallable before (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/daily/20090324/report.html), do you know what that's about?19:58

mvoebroder: have you tested it, is there a problem?20:00
ebrodermvo: No, I haven't had a change to test it yet. I don't understand the upgrade process very well, so I couldn't tell from inspection if it would work for this upgrade or not20:01

bredotohia21:45
bredotoNeed help. How can i make  proper configure file for my sources?21:46
bredotohm anyone21:50
SnovaWhat is this for? A personal project, something you're packaging, something else?21:50
SnovaAlso, this isn't really the proper channel, join #ubuntu-programming21:50
bredotopersonal project. And what is the structure of configure file?21:51
SnovaThey're shell scripts.21:51
sladenit's a shell script, generated by autotools21:52
SnovaWorse yet, they're auto-generated shell scripts, produced from macros (M4, to be precise).21:52
sladenSnova: TBH, you probably don't need one21:52
sladenSnova: just make a normal Makefile by hand21:52
SnovaA configure script? Not while I can help it. :) Quick! While you still can! Learn CMake. ;)21:53
bredotodoes anybody know some tutorials or other source21:54
SnovaThis might be good (for Autotools): http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/21:55
SnovaMaybe. Just the first thing I found.21:55
bredotothnks21:57
bredoto=|21:57
bredotoLets image that i have source file of my progrm: myp.c What is the next step for preparing configure file? Just create  configure file  with "gcc -c myp.c and cp a.out /usr/bin/myp "commands?22:01
SnovaNo, configure doesn't build anything.22:02
SnovaYou need a configure.ac file, which doesn't have to be long, just initialize Autotools and test for a compiler, then generate a Makefile. (Not sure *exactly* how)22:02
SnovaThen you need a Makefile.am that specifies what to compile, and to what.22:04
SnovaThen there are various programs that generate more files from those two (there might even be another file or so you have to write, don't think so though).22:04
bredotoSnova, thank this is my first step =) iam just a beginner (dummy=)22:05
SnovaDang. Sorry about that (again).22:05

SnovaHonestly, I find Autotools to be a gigantic mess. You'd probably be a lot better suited learning something like CMake (I'm partial to SCons, but it might not be quite as good for you).22:06
slangasekkees: (if you want it :)22:06

slangasekit's not going in pre-beta, smartdimmer is on the CDs22:13
ed___hi22:17
TheMusoslangasek: ok weird. Dispite what the report says, lmms and ubuntustudio-audio install fine with a fresh amd64 disk as of the latest daily. The wine package is kept from the disks by blacklisting, but things install as expected on the disk.22:23
slangasekTheMuso: eh, why are you using blacklists for this?  that's a Very Large Hammer22:24
slangasekTheMuso: also, we don't want installing from the archive and installing from ISO to give a different experience...22:24
TheMusoslangasek: Right, I guess the best approach then is to demote wine to suggests for lmms and fix the seeds22:25
slangasekTheMuso: that would be my recommendation22:25
TheMusook I'll take care of that now.22:25
TheMusoslangasek: ok lmms uploaded, pushing the change to the seeds now as well.22:32
