| Ampelbein | hi. i get a FTBFS for xserver-xorg-input-aiptek, buildlog: http://www.warperbbs.de/melting/readfile.php?file=andreas/xserver-xorg-input-aiptek_1.1.1-1build2_i386.build.gz , error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141051/ | 00:23 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | Ampelbein: at a glance, you are missing a build dependency of some sort. | 00:25 |
| TheMuso | Ampelbein: apt-file could help you track down the file you want, and the package its in. | 00:25 |
| Ampelbein | TheMuso: just seen: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24381721/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.xserver-xorg-input-aiptek_1%3A1.1.1-1build2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz thats the official build | 00:25 |
| Ampelbein | should i open a bug for this? | 00:26 |
| TheMuso | Ampelbein: not sure yet, let me think... | 00:26 |
| TheMuso | Ampelbein: I think a bug is only needed if you have a diff to fix it, but others may think differently. | 00:28 |
| Ampelbein | TheMuso: i also think that's why those packages are not installable anymore. we changed xserver-xorg version and the old, compiled packages, conflict with those versions. | 00:29 |
| TheMuso | right | 00:29 |
| Ampelbein | see bug #351076 | 00:29 |

| Ampelbein | bryce: i think i found the issue, at least for the aiptek-driver, must look for the other drivers too. | 01:53 |
| bryce | Ampelbein: excellent | 01:53 |
| Ampelbein | it seems that since ABI-Version 3 some function calls became obsolete | 01:54 |
| Ampelbein | and of course the filename changed from xf86Version.h to xorgVersion.h | 01:54 |
| Ampelbein | i will attach a patch for someone experienced to review though | 01:55 |
| Ampelbein | bryce: can you give me some assistance? got the following warning from dpkg-shlibdeps :http://paste.ubuntu.com/141095/ | 02:01 |
| Ampelbein | shouldn't shlibdeps check the "depends" and get the symbols from the libraries needed? | 02:02 |
| bryce | not sure | 02:02 |
| bryce | but Xfree, Xrealloc, xf86Msg, etc. are all extraordinarily standard calls that haven't moved or anything | 02:03 |
| bryce | Ampelbein: you might compare how linking is done in this driver with a working driver. maybe it's doing things in a wrong order or something | 02:04 |
| Ampelbein | ok, will do that | 02:05 |
| Ampelbein | bryce: a dependency was missing. but this could not have resulted in an actual error as those dependencies are installed with xorg anyway. but i added them nonetheless. | 02:22 |
| bryce | ok | 02:24 |
| Ampelbein | bryce: now a package-naming question: currently the package is named 1.1.1-1build2, should i name 1.1.1-1build3 or rather 1.1.1-1ubuntu1, since this is a change not in debian yet? | 02:26 |
| bryce | 1.1.1-1ubuntu1 | 02:26 |
| Ampelbein | thank you very much for helping! | 02:27 |
| YokoZar | Ampelbein: regarding missing dependencies: does the package list ${shlibs:Depends} on its depends line? | 02:32 |
| Ampelbein | YokoZar: yes, it does | 02:32 |
| YokoZar | hmm, ok then. I'm still trying to figure out the cases where that misses things | 02:33 |
| bryce | Ampelbein: and thanks for investigating the problem! | 02:36 |

| Ampelbein | could you look over it and see if what i've done is ok? | 02:51 |
| bryce | sure | 02:51 |
| Ampelbein | i'm a bit unsure because i usually use quilt or cdbs to add patches. here i added quilt, but before there was no patchsystem used. | 02:52 |
| Ampelbein | so there are many changes not reflected. | 02:52 |
| bryce | Ampelbein: yes this looks perfect, thanks for adding a patch system, that's the correct way to do it | 02:55 |
| bryce | Ampelbein: this looks good to me, do you feel it to be ready for upload? I can sponsor for you if so. | 02:56 |
| Ampelbein | bryce: don't know. the driver builds fine, but i don't have an aiptek handy to test if it works correctly | 02:57 |
| bryce | hmm | 02:57 |
| bryce | I tried pbuildering it but got an error | 02:57 |
| Ampelbein | whuups. | 02:57 |
| Ampelbein | my bad | 02:57 |
| infinity | bryce: Your posted debdiff can't possibly be correct. It doesn't include any debian/* changes for quilt. | 02:57 |
| bryce | let me doublecheck that the patch is applying | 02:58 |
| Ampelbein | i forgot | 02:58 |
| Ampelbein | debian/rules not changed | 02:58 |
| bryce | infinity: aha right | 02:58 |
| infinity | bryce: Also, sort of ironic that you told him that was the right way to do it. I tend to rey to discourage people from forking packaging from Debian (unless you intend to push the quiltiness back up to XSF) just to maintain a 3-line patch... | 02:59 |
| bryce | Ampelbein: do you want to post a new debdiff with that added or shall I? | 02:59 |
| Ampelbein | i will do that | 02:59 |
| infinity | bryce: A 3-line inline diff is so much easier to merge than a bunch of extra goo in debian/* | 03:00 |
| bryce | infinity: tjaalton is going to incorporate the fixes for this and other input drivers that are failing to build and put into debian | 03:00 |
| infinity | s/tend to rey/tend to try/ | 03:00 |
| Ampelbein | so shouldn't i use a patchsystem for that? | 03:01 |
| infinity | bryce: Kay. If all the debian/* changes are going upstream too, I retract my objection. I just spent too much time over too many years merging massive changesets that boiled down to "I wanted to fix a 5-character string, and I added 15 lines to debian/* to do it" | 03:01 |
| Ampelbein | infinity: i'm sorry. i'm fairly new to this. just updated ubuntu-desktop-packages so far. | 03:02 |
| infinity | Ampelbein: Don't apologize. It's more of a religious thing than a strict policy. :) | 03:02 |
| bryce | infinity: in this case the fix Ampelbein is adding is already upstream at freedesktop.org, so he's essentially backporting it for us | 03:02 |
| infinity | Ampelbein: And if the people who will be dealing with this (bryce and tjaalton) think it's good, it's good. | 03:02 |
| bryce | infinity: when debian has a newer version incorporated, we can probably just sync. But meantime this will enable others to test the driver | 03:03 |
| infinity | bryce: Yeah. My usual argument is just that it makes merging with Debian a bit tougher. More chance for conflicts in control/rules/etc. | 03:03 |
| bryce | infinity: what Ampelbein is doing is good | 03:03 |
| infinity | bryce: But, not my domain, so I defer to you and tjaalton. | 03:03 |
| bryce | infinity: we're well accustomed to patch systems appearing and disappearing as needed for patch backports, so it's all good | 03:04 |

| pitti | bryce: *wiping off a tear* Jesse Barnes' -intel patch turned my X from "several problems" into "work of perfection" | 09:24 |
| seb128 | pitti: what patch? | 09:24 |
| seb128 | pitti: does it fix intel crashing when closing an another session? | 09:25 |
| pitti | seb128: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19304#c41 | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Freedesktop bug 19304 in Driver/intel "[i945 FBC] spontaneous black screen (major pipe-A underrun)" [Normal,Reopened] | 09:25 |
| pitti | seb128: I didn't have that problem | 09:25 |
| pitti | seb128: but I don't think so | 09:25 |
| seb128 | ok | 09:25 |
| pitti | seb128: that patch fixes flickering in glxgears, and pipe underruns | 09:25 |
| pitti | seb128: I did several guest sessions etc. yesterday, no crashes for me | 09:26 |
| pitti | and so far it didn't freeze after suspend yet | 09:26 |
| seb128 | lucky you | 09:26 |
| seb128 | I can't use my laptop to do any user switching since jaunty | 09:27 |
| seb128 | it crashes on session closing with exa | 09:27 |
| seb128 | and on session opening with uxa | 09:27 |
| pitti | bryce: apparently the "fix pipe underrun" patch I previously applied was more like a hack (static watermark levels), current one computes them dynamically | 09:28 |
| pitti | seb128: is that bug upstream? | 09:28 |
| pitti | I get quite a good responsiveness from them | 09:28 |
| seb128 | pitti: no, it's on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/348428 but I will upstream it today if they don't | 09:29 |

| UBN2 | why does python suck so much compared to all other languages??? | 09:34 |
| pitti | bah, shouldn't have said this too loudly, X hung again after suspend | 09:47 |
| Hobbsee | it wanted to catch you out again... | 09:48 |
| pitti | bah, not having suspend sucks | 09:49 |
| pitti | especially on planes and conferences | 09:50 |
| directhex | pitti, weren't you paying attention? jaunty boots so awesomely fast, you don't NEED suspend! | 09:52 |
| pitti | seb128: just read the bug (also the upstream one, which is linked now); I don't get that, no | 09:52 |
| pitti | directhex: now, if only we had session saving.. | 09:52 |
| seb128 | pitti: ok | 09:52 |
| directhex | pitti, still broken on jaunty? | 09:52 |
| pitti | directhex: and "switch on" to "desktop" is still 2 minutes on my machine | 09:52 |
| seb128 | pitti: we have on logout ;-) | 09:52 |
| pitti | seb128: session _saving_? | 09:53 |
| pitti | I'm still starting my gsession.sh script after logging in | 09:53 |
| pitti | but that only does half of the job | 09:53 |
| hyperair | directhex: when you can boot in 3 seconds, tell me again that i don't need suspend | 09:53 |

| pitti | RicardoPerez: can you please reopen the synaptic/s-c-p tasks and say so? | 09:58 |

| pitti | infinity, lamont: it seems our buildd chroots have an outdated pkgbinarymangler; can you please upgrade them to version 57? | 09:58 |
| infinity | pitti: They autoupgrade on build... | 10:01 |
| pitti | that's what I thought as well.. | 10:02 |
| infinity | pitti: That said, there's no mangler upgrade being done in recent builds, so it's up-to-date in the chroots... | 10:02 |

| pitti | weird, I looked at the synaptic build log, and there's no trace of the new code | 10:04 |

| infinity | pitti: Someone demoted it to universe... | 10:05 |
| infinity | pitti: On main builds, the chroots only have main in sources.list, so no upgrade. | 10:05 |
| infinity | pitti: Why on earth was pkgbinarymangler demoted? | 10:06 |
| pitti | WTH? | 10:06 |
| pitti | infinity: I have no idea | 10:06 |
| * pitti promotes | 10:06 | |
| pitti | infinity: perhaps it appeared in component-mismatches, and someone was too eager with cleaning it up | 10:06 |
| RicardoPerez | I see pkgbinarymangler in universe, too | 10:06 |
| * pitti seeds | 10:06 | |
| pitti | infinity: so once that's in main again, the chroots will upgrade them automatically? | 10:08 |
| infinity | pitti: Yup. | 10:08 |
| pitti | infinity: ok, thanks! | 10:08 |
| infinity | pitti: I'll freshen them during my work hours tomorrow anyway, but the auto-upgrading should work once it's republished to main. | 10:08 |

| pitti | cjwatson: intrepid, is that including SRUs? | 11:21 |

| pitti | bryce: I just updated 339091 with some new investigations, and linked to a kernel bug; is it even possible that the kernel DRM regression in 2.6.29rc6 is responsible for this? IOW, did we pull the DRM bits from head into our kernel? | 11:27 |
| tjaalton | pitti: it's possible | 11:29 |
| pitti | tjaalton: ah, thanks; I updated the kernel, fd.o, and LP bug with my findings | 11:30 |
| tjaalton | pitti: there were a few commits that were pulled from upstream, but they didn't solve vblank so it was disabled again in the DRI driver (mesa) | 11:31 |
| tjaalton | but the kernel commits remained | 11:31 |
| pitti | tjaalton: you mean the "trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 1"? or the "Unknown parameter 6" thingies? | 11:31 |
| tjaalton | pitti: I don't know if they are related | 11:34 |

| ogra | (and indeed i need to upload -meta) | 11:36 |
| tjaalton | pitti: hm, the patches are from the intel stable patchset for the kernel, so removing them now might cause other problems | 11:39 |
| pitti | tjaalton: oh, I'm not suggesting we should ditch them; perhaps upstream can fix them | 11:39 |
| tjaalton | pitti: but you could try mesa 7.4 from my ppa, it seems to solve at least some of my problems | 11:39 |
| tjaalton | pitti: yeah, that should be the right approach :) | 11:39 |
| pitti | tjaalton: oh, sure | 11:39 |
| tjaalton | and we didn't pull any patches that weren't either in .29 or drm-next | 11:40 |
| pitti | tjaalton: I know, but someone else confirmed that the regression happened between 2.6.29rc5 and rc6 | 11:40 |
| pitti | in fact, it was the original reporter of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12778 | 11:40 |
| tjaalton | I did propose a couple of patches related to vblank, but decided to disable it instead, since upstream couldn't decide how to fix it properly | 11:40 |

| directhex | i.e. does "debianfoo | ubuntufoo" work, or does it have that dreadful debian "ignore everything after the pipe" issue | 13:19 |
| cjwatson | we use the first alternative that's installable | 13:23 |
| directhex | okay, good. and i'm not misremembering that debian uses only the first alternative, am i? | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | directhex: I believe that's still correct, and it certainly used to be the case | 13:28 |

| asac | about metacity + compositing? or compiz? | 13:36 |

| StevenK | mdz: It's a nice to have only | 13:50 |
| cjwatson | jtholmes: both of them are reasonably actively maintained in different ways. There's a long-term goal to switch to cdebconf but it's unlikely to be especially soon. | 13:51 |
| jtholmes | cjwatson, yes too much cross dependency in the whole debconf area | 13:51 |

| tjaalton | nxvl: and the package is orphaned ;) | 14:41 |
| nxvl | yup | 14:42 |
| freinhard | ArneGoetje: just did a update on kubuntu and wondered why i got some new gnome dependencies: does gnome-user-guide-* need to be in language-support-translations? | 14:42 |
| ArneGoetje | freinhard: which language? | 14:43 |
| rgreening | ArneGoetje: all | 14:43 |
| rgreening | -en, -de, ... | 14:43 |
| ArneGoetje | that should be a mistake | 14:43 |
| freinhard | ArneGoetje: germa | 14:43 |
| rgreening | yay | 14:43 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: hmm. how else are we going to get the appropriate version of the GNOME user guide installed? | 14:44 |
| ArneGoetje | let me take a look | 14:44 |
| rgreening | ArneGoetje: looks like "Ubuntu automatic language-pack builder" added it | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | except perhaps by adding it to language-pack-gnome-foo, but I don't think that's appropriate | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | we don't have gnome and kde variants of language-support-* | 14:44 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: well, the gnome-user-guide should definetely not go to kubuntu, don't you think? | 14:44 |
| rgreening | thanks freinhard for pointing this out. | 14:44 |
| freinhard | rgreening, ArneGoetje at least the ChangeLog states that the lang-pack builder is the bad guy | 14:45 |
| rgreening | exactly. Should be "|" with something to make it not a requirement. | 14:45 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: sure, but that doesn't help to make sure that Ubuntu carries on working properly too | 14:45 |
| cjwatson | certainly gnome-user-guide-* could have |-deps on language-support-translations-foo | 14:45 |
| cjwatson | that's a hack but we've used the same hack elsewhere | 14:45 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: could you look at bug 352034? | 14:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 352034 in dell "grub2 can no longer show chinese characters" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/352034 | 14:46 |
| rgreening | the issue here is that adding this as is, will impact the CD/DVD size for Kubuntu and other non-gnome desktops | 14:46 |
| rgreening | we are already having to lzma compress parts of KDE to fit. | 14:46 |
| cjwatson | rgreening: we understand the issue | 14:47 |
| rgreening | cool :P | 14:47 |
| cjwatson | hmm, the |-deps won't help here since the package is big in itself | 14:47 |
| cjwatson | the problem is that right now we have no particularly good mechanism for this | 14:47 |
| cjwatson | getting into a situation where we are trading off CD space between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is not really going to help anyone :-) | 14:47 |
| rgreening | cjwatson: the other issue is gnome user guide en provides no benefit to non gnome desktops and is a waste or resources | 14:48 |
| cjwatson | rgreening: you can stop beating the dead horse :-) | 14:49 |
| rgreening | It's not dead jim... | 14:49 |
| rgreening | :) | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | actually, gnome-user-guide-en is very small in itself | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | Size: 42874 | 14:49 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: is the gnome-user-guide a requirement on the desktop, or optional (suggests)? | 14:50 |
| rgreening | but it has additional deps | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | rgreening: yes I understand that | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | that's why I said "in itself" | 14:50 |
| rgreening | ah. k. got it. I'll just lurk :P | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: it's a recommendation (i.e. removable), but it does need to be present in Ubuntu installations | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | the language split was to save space on Ubuntu CDs by allowing us to control which translations are present | 14:51 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: can we add a suggests to language-pack-gnome-foo for this? | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: to what end? the installer will ignore that | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje,slangasek: what do you think about moving the gnome-user-guide-LL dependency from language-support-translations-LL to language-pack-gnome-LL? | 14:52 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: and recommends? | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: recommends would be fine I think, but why bother, it might as well be depends | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | oh, recommends would make it removable | 14:53 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: if it should be removable? | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | I think it's fine in language-pack-gnome-LL on the grounds that it was previously part of the desktop anyway | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | so yes, I think that's probably the right answer here | 14:53 |
| rgreening | awesome | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | it's suboptimal because really that stuff ought to be in language-support-* | 14:54 |
| rgreening | you guys rock | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | but we can't make that flavour-specific | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | so this might bloat up the Ubuntu CD a bit again | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure how much | 14:54 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: does it need to be on the CD? | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: the only way to make it not on the CD is to put it in language-support-* | 14:55 |
| cjwatson | actually, it is false that this will have a significant effect on CD size for Kubuntu | 14:56 |
| cjwatson | the only language-support-* that's on the Kubuntu CD is language-support-en | 14:56 |
| cjwatson | so that's only 1.5MB or so | 14:56 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: how does the language-pack-gnome-LL package get pulled by the installer? I know we have some code in language-selector to pull those depending on the flavor, because we don't have depends. | 14:56 |
| cjwatson | oh, hang on, gnome-user-guide pulls in scrollkeeper and yelp. bah | 14:56 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: language-pack-gnome-LL is selected per-flavour by preseeding, yes. There is no such mechanism for language-support-LL. | 14:57 |
| freinhard | cjwatson: jupp, that's why i got concerned | 14:57 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: can we just add the gnome-user-guide-LL to that? | 14:58 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: isn't that what we were both suggesting above? :-) | 14:58 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: ah, you were talking about the pre-seeding... I though a recommends to the package... | 14:58 |
| cjwatson | so the other approach would be to make the gnome-user-guide-LL packages depend on gnome-user-guide | language-support-translations-LL; that would still mean that Kubuntu users would get gnome-user-guide-LL (i.e. just the translations) installed if they ran the language selector post-installation, but they wouldn't get gnome-user-guide, scrollkeeper, yelp, etc. | 14:58 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: we were both talking about a recommends | 14:58 |
| freinhard | all in all, should add ~30MB | 14:59 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: you asked how the installer selected language-pack-gnome-LL, and that's done by preseeding. This is orthogonal | 14:59 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: I was actually thinking to hack lp-o-matic to add the recommends to the l-p-gnome-LL package... | 14:59 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: yes, that's exactly what I was suggesting too ... | 14:59 |
| * cjwatson feels there is not a little bit of confusion here | 15:00 | |
| cjwatson | freinhard: with |-deps on language-support-translations-LL, it would be a megabyte or so at most, actually. I agree that the current situation is a problem | 15:00 |
| cjwatson | but, since we were already including gnome-user-guide in the stock Ubuntu desktop, I think a recommends from language-pack-gnome-LL is fine in this particular instance | 15:01 |
| cjwatson | we may need to revisit that in the future | 15:01 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: ok, never mind. :) | 15:01 |
| cjwatson | I sort of feel we ought to use special fields in the Packages file for all of this, rather than having a zillion metapackages | 15:01 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: +1 | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | Package: gnome-user-guide-fr Language: fr/translations/gnome, or something better-designed | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | ArneGoetje: but yeah, in the meantime, can you make that langpack-o-matic adjustment to move gnome-user-guide-LL from l-s-t-* to l-p-gnome-*? | 15:04 |
| ArneGoetje | cjwatson: yes, I will ask pitti about that. | 15:06 |

| radix | cjwatson: ping, do you have a moment to follow up on the discussion last week about inheriting environment variables and file descriptors in landscape-client? | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | radix: sure | 16:06 |
| radix | (about debconf) | 16:06 |
| radix | cjwatson: okay, cool. so I've got it deleting DEBIAN_ and DEBCONF_ environment variables to avoid propagating those to further package installation processes, but I'm wondering about the file descriptor stuff you mentioned | 16:06 |
| radix | cjwatson: you said that debconf opens some file descriptors which might be propagating to the child processes of the postinst script | 16:07 |
| radix | (i think) | 16:07 |
| radix | cjwatson: but I'm wondering if that's true. do you know how that file descriptor is being opened? it looks like bash makes sure most file descriptors are not passed on to child processes, but some -- for example those created with "exec 7< whatever.txt", do get propagated | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | /usr/share/debconf/confmodule opens fd 3 for communication from the "confmodule" (e.g. landscape-client.postinst) to the debconf frontend | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | it is created using 'exec 3>&1' | 16:08 |
| radix | oh, look at that :) | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | I'm pretty sure that it isn't close-on-exec; I don't think a number of things would work if it were | 16:09 |
| radix | hrmph. it's too bad that FD isn't cloexec. | 16:09 |
| radix | ah | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | yes, it is a bit inconvenient | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | but really, it's good practice for daemons to close stray file descriptors on startup | 16:09 |
| radix | yeah | 16:09 |
| radix | it's just that figuring out how to do that with our existing daemonization code is becoming a bit difficult to do in time for jaunty :) | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | frex, Stevens recommends it (APUE p.417) | 16:10 |
| radix | cjwatson: do you know if there's a bashism or perhaps some tiny C wrapper program that can do that for me? | 16:10 |
| abentley | superm1: I've just filed bug #352452, the fruit of a rather frustrating evening and morning. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. | 16:10 |

| radix | like, "run-without-fds ./program"? | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | radix: not in that form, but if it's just fd 3, then you could start landscape-client with 3>&- | 16:11 |
| radix | hmm | 16:11 |
| radix | yeah, that doesn't sound too scalable :) | 16:11 |
| cjwatson | it's not, but there may not actually be all that many fds involved | 16:11 |
| cjwatson | (don't use exec here, btw, just put that redirection on the line where landscape-client is invoked | 16:11 |
| cjwatson | ) | 16:11 |
| radix | right | 16:12 |
| radix | well, I'll consider that. I'll also give another bash at implement proper FD closing in landscape-client | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | in principle, it's possible for somebody to use cdebconf, which opens a different set of fds | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | but not really in practice right now | 16:12 |
| radix | cjwatson: okay, I've learned what I wanted to know. Thanks very much for your help! | 16:13 |
| cjwatson | you could look at /proc/$(pidof landscape-client)/fd to see whether which stray fds it has open | 16:13 |
| radix | it'd be nice if I could determine whether a FD was inherited or opened in the current process, but I guess that's impossible | 16:14 |
| pitti | tjaalton: FYI, with your mesa I also got a hang a bit after resuming, it just completely messes up screen | 16:14 |
| radix | the landscape-client startup code is a bit poorly factored; it opens some important FDs *before* daemonizing, apparently | 16:15 |
| superm1 | abentley, there isn't any easy way to fix that since AMD provides replacement dri and glx libraries | 16:16 |
| abentley | superm1: Does disabling fglrx in "Hardware Drivers" remove those packages? | 16:17 |
| tjaalton | pitti: go intel.. | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | radix: you could probably close inherited fds before that, and before daemonising | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | radix: after all you've already forked once | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | it's not perfect but it would do for this purpose, wouldn't it? | 16:18 |
| radix | hmm, probably | 16:18 |
| radix | the main problem we have is that we try to report certain errors synchronously, I think | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | radix: doesn't help with the "where do stdin/out/err go?" problem of course, but perhaps you already deal with that in some other way | 16:18 |
| radix | so there's a significant amount of code that happens before daemonization | 16:19 |
| abentley | superm1: My strong impression was that it does not, and I would never have hit up the X logs and apt if just disabling fglrx in "Hardware Drivers" (jockey?) had worked. | 16:29 |

| lool | sistpoty|work: No, rather ${$c} but that doesn't work | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | lool: ${!c} but that's a bashism | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | there's no nicer portable way | 16:39 |
| lool | so eval ... hmm | 16:39 |
| lool | cjwatson: thanks | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | well, you can cut down on the backslashes | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | "$(eval echo "\$$c")" | 16:41 |
| lool | Right | 16:42 |
| lool | I was at eval echo "\$`echo $c`" | 16:42 |
| lool | which was just an useless use of `echo ` :) | 16:42 |

| jdong | is that related to that python bug in the topic? </stupid wrong suggestion> | 16:46 |
| Keybuk | I don't think so | 16:46 |
| superm1 | pitti, does disable fglrx in hardware drivers remove xorg-driver-fglrx and friends? | 16:47 |
| superm1 | or is it 'supposed to'? i think to abentley's point above it should | 16:47 |
| pitti | superm1: yes, it's supposed to | 16:48 |
| superm1 | abentley, well was that on intrepid or jaunty? pitti when did it start doing it? | 16:48 |
| pitti | superm1: it never did *not* do it | 16:48 |
| pitti | superm1: what's the "& friends" part about? | 16:49 |
| pitti | superm1: removing the driver will only remove xorg-driver-fglrx | 16:49 |
| pitti | oh, and fglrx-kernel-source | 16:49 |
| pitti | should it kill something else, too? | 16:49 |
| superm1 | no, i think that's sufficient. i'm just a bit perplexed how abentley hit this then if he tried to disable it in hardware drivers | 16:50 |
| james_w | Keybuk: I've been seeing parts of that. "pycentral pkginstall foo" is the critical missing bit it seems | 16:50 |
| Keybuk | james_w: it's missing from every single package then | 16:50 |
| james_w | not for me | 16:50 |

| Keybuk | mvo: yeah, can't see *anything* in that | 16:58 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I did not try the new backend yet. Could you try it? | 16:58 |
| Keybuk | interestingly, none of the apparently affected packages were upgraded in the dist-upgrade | 16:58 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: as I said, I can't reproduce it, but I can test it, of course | 16:58 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: that's the one from 1.4? | 16:58 |

| Keybuk | I install too many bits from PPAs, and by-hand backports from jaunty, and stuff :p | 17:00 |
| mvo | Keybuk: in what way does it not work? | 17:00 |
| mvo | Keybuk: oh, ok | 17:00 |
| Keybuk | mvo: this time it wanted to uninstall just about every package included ubuntu-minimal <g> | 17:00 |
| mvo | Keybuk: *urgh* if you still have the logs of that (in /var/log/dist-upgrade/) then please mail it to me, it should not do that | 17:01 |
| Keybuk | mvo: looking at why, it's perfectly reasonable that it wanted to do that | 17:01 |
| Keybuk | I had a custom one installed that conflicted a few things :p | 17:01 |

| Ng | is there any particular disadvantage in defaulting to having lots of loop devices available? we seem to default to 8, the maximum the loop module will create is 256 | 17:15 |

| davidm | pitti, I ran the killall gnome-settings-daemon and got 3 I could not kill should I still try running the extra command?? | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | Ng: does making lots of them available cause all the device nodes to be created at boot? | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | Ng: in any case I thought that nowadays new device nodes got autocreated somehow (I forget how) | 17:18 |
| Ng | cjwatson: if I reload the module with max_loop=256 I immediately get 256 /dev/loopN devices | 17:19 |
| Ng | I was just playing with something that uses a lot of loops and it complained that it couldn't get any more, but I'm doing horrible kernel mismatching (jaunty userspace, hardy kernel), so maybe that is preventing any automagic creation | 17:20 |
| Ng | cjwatson: hrm, even with jaunty at both ends of the chain I don't see loop auto-creation (tested with for i in $(seq 1 10) ; do mkdir /tmp/lala$i ; sudo mount -o loop ubuntu-9.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso /tmp/lala$i ; done) | 17:23 |

| davidm | pitti, attached to bug now | 17:34 |
| pitti | davidm: will you be in SF next week, @LF summit? | 17:38 |
| abentley | superm1: I think at that point dpkg hadn't completed. I was dumb enough to run the installer in a vnc server. | 17:39 |
| superm1 | abentley, okay well then for the common case - that someone removes it from jockey it does the right thing | 17:40 |
| davidm | pitti, Yes I will be arriving on Sunday night | 17:40 |
| davidm | I'll be at celf and LF summit | 17:41 |
| abentley | superm1: No, I couldn't get to jockey initially. Only after I'd apt-get-remove-purged the video driver could I even try jockey. | 17:41 |
| pitti | davidm: rock, I'll see you there; if I don't figure it out tomorrow, I can hack on your machine as a last resort? | 17:41 |
| davidm | I can carry my HD and laptop so you can indeed hack. | 17:41 |
| abentley | superm1: Sorry to change my story. It was late... | 17:41 |
| davidm | I'm going to go out a buy a new HD so I can get working on my presentation for CELF that I have to present. | 17:42 |
| pitti | ArneGoetje: you have an 855? | 17:42 |
| pitti | bryce: ^ | 17:42 |
| pitti | ArneGoetje: I read in the bug report that uxa and some other xorg.conf option would make it work | 17:42 |
| superm1 | abentley, okay well still things are working as expected currently then. I don't believe there is any way to make the experience better since AMD is requiring their own libdri and libglx | 17:42 |
| ArneGoetje | pitti: I do | 17:43 |
| ArneGoetje | pitti: and I'm running uxa | 17:43 |
| pitti | davidm: urgh, 3 g-s-d's is certainly wrong | 17:43 |
| abentley | superm1: Well, there are heroic measures-- if fglrx is installed, remove it on upgrade, try reinstalling it, and if it doesn't work fall back to the OS drivers. | 17:44 |
| abentley | superm1: Even just removing it and telling the user they can try reinstalling it would be better, because bulletproof X would at least give them VESA. | 17:45 |
| davidm | Yes, I gather that, I have no idea how that happens, it's only from the upgrade, everything is working correctly from the liveCD beta, which is really confusing to me. | 17:45 |
| pitti | ArneGoetje: nice | 17:46 |
| pitti | bryce: ScottK said that i865 "just works", and if we could make the 855 use uxa, and disable dri on the 845, we'd at least have a non-breaking upgrade; is that possible? | 17:47 |
| ArneGoetje | pitti: no other config options set, just uxa. | 17:47 |
| bryce | pitti: one of the big problems I'm having trying to get 304871 closed is that the original reporter does not respond | 17:47 |
| pitti | bryce: well, if we have some other people with similar hw which can reproduce the bug and test the fix, that should be good enough? | 17:47 |
| bryce | so through the bug there have been multiple solutions proposed, some of which solve the issue for certain people, but not others. The original reporter never responds, so we never know if one of them would solve his problem. | 17:47 |
| pitti | in that context, the original reporter is proably not "more" special than the other responders with the same chipset? | 17:48 |
| bryce | pitti: so the point we're at now is chasing the lowest common denominator, which is looking like "nuke them all from orbit and let God sort them out" | 17:48 |
| pitti | heh | 17:48 |
| bryce | i.e. disable all features on 8xx | 17:48 |
| pitti | bryce: with xx == {45,55}? | 17:48 |
| bryce | which obviously is a poor solution, and is going to generate all manner of regression reports later | 17:49 |
| pitti | or do you have reports about 865 failures as well? | 17:49 |
| bryce | 865 too | 17:49 |
| pitti | ugh | 17:49 |
| pablo__ | is ppp_generic module missing in jaunty ? i googled about, and i got this http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20081226.221035.2367e95e.de.html | 17:49 |
| bryce | the problem is that given 3 people with 845, we get 3 completely different results | 17:49 |
| pablo__ | i need it to use a kernel firmware to connect ppp | 17:50 |
| pitti | bryce: that's as diverse with 855 as well? | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | pablo__: it's built into the kernel - you don't need a module | 17:50 |
| bryce | pitti: apparently. | 17:50 |
| bryce | pitti: normally, if this wasn't a targeted bug, I'd close the bug as expired since we've not heard from the original reporter, and ask others to file new bugs. | 17:52 |
| pablo__ | [cjwatson] i do not know very much, but i had a script that used that before. may be it was needed before | 17:52 |
| Ng | bryce: fwiw I didn't see that bug on a thinkpad X40 (855GM) | 17:52 |
| pablo__ | well, im sure it was | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | pablo__: yes, it used to be | 17:52 |
| Ng | bryce: but afaics there is quite some variation between machines with seemingly identical intel graphics chips | 17:52 |
| pablo__ | i realized when i got an error message | 17:52 |
| pablo__ | [cjwatson] i try to know why my connection script does not work | 17:52 |
| pablo__ | i can connect without some workarrounds | 17:53 |
| pitti | bryce: given how tangled it became, it's probably a good idea to split it up by hardware category anyway? | 17:53 |
| pablo__ | i have a usb connection | 17:53 |
| bryce | Ng: yeah 855 seems in better shape; it's 845/865 where we have more reporters of this particular problem | 17:54 |

| === mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz | ||
| bryce | pitti: okay. The bug was opened against 845 originally, whereas all recent comments of "still problems" are from 865 users | 18:16 |
| bryce | pitti: there are also some 855 users who say the issue is fixed by use of the Legacy3D option (for which we have a patch) | 18:16 |
| bryce | pitti: so I think I'll put my patch in as the fix for 845, and split out the 865 and 855 issues to separate bugs. | 18:17 |
| bryce | then we can finally get this one closed | 18:17 |

| === fader|lunch is now known as fader_ | ||
| cjwatson | telexicon: ... well, apparently your debian/changelog file is a symlink :-) | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | it should be an ordinary file | 18:31 |
| telexicon | cjwatson, well yeah i got that part :p but i didnt make it a symlink | 18:31 |
| telexicon | its a multibinary from one source package and it symlinks the docs to the main dependency | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | run lintian-info and copy and paste the line from lintian's output into it | 18:31 |
| telexicon | CDBS does it automatically | 18:31 |
| Laney | yeah, that's an ubuntu CDBS change | 18:32 |
| Laney | for space-saving reasons - you can ignore it | 18:32 |
| cjwatson | oh, that. well, it isn't your bug directly so you can ignore it. I think perhaps we ought not to do that for the changelog file though | 18:32 |
| cjwatson | not sure | 18:32 |
| telexicon | what about, not symlinking copyright and changelog | 18:33 |
| telexicon | and then symlinking everything else | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | you could do that in your package | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure why cdbs doesn't do that, but cdbs does not stop you controlling the contents of your own package | 18:33 |
| telexicon | yeah thats true, id just have to go look all that up | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | actually, it would be better if cdbs symlinked the directories rather than the individual files, but IIRC there was some reason why that was problematic | 18:34 |
| telexicon | cjwatson, yeah thats even what lintian suggests | 18:34 |
