cjwatsonI don't mind, I can easily munge it to fix that. More interested in the question about the other shadow tools00:00
NCommanderLooking at them now00:00
NCommanderDon't see anything that jumps out at me, I just need to skim usermod before I say yes00:00
cjwatsonwell, put it this way, I know that some of them will suffer from the same kind of bug, but want to know whether we care :)00:01
NCommandercjwatson, usermod doesn't, userdel doesn't care00:01
NCommanderpasswd is the only other one00:02
NCommanderIt probably has the same issue00:02
cjwatsonchpasswd?00:02
cjwatsonwe use that in the installer00:02
NCommanderno, just regular password00:02
NCommander*passwd00:02
NCommanderOh00:02
NCommanderILet me check both00:02
cjwatson./src/chpasswd.c:324:   long now = time ((long *) 0) / (24L * 3600L);00:02
NCommanderAnything that will update the password field might be affected00:02
cjwatsonand later on:00:02
cjwatson                        newsp.sp_lstchg = now;00:02
NCommanderYeah, that would do it00:03
NCommanderSame with passwd.c00:03
NCommanderSorry, I had a brainfart and forgot to check the rest :-/00:03
cjwatsonlibmisc/pwd2spwd.c, src/newusers.c, and src/pwconv.c too00:03
cjwatsonthough I doubt that those would actually be used in practice00:04
=== ScriptRipper_ is now known as ScriptRipper
cjwatson(in this kind of context)00:04
NCommanderDoes GDM gracefully handle password changes?00:04
NCommanderActually00:04
cjwatsonwell, not used in the installer, but of course somebody could call them by hand00:04
cjwatsonno idea but it uses PAM00:04
NCommanderif you change your passwd on 01-01-1970, it could be a problem00:04
NCommanderBecause it could get stuck always prompting you to change the password until the clock is changed00:05
* NCommander would run into that problem on a Babbage board with a broken RTC00:05
NCommanderLet me respin the patch00:05
NCommanderThis probably should go upstream00:06
cjwatsonchange your password> well, right, hence why passwd needs to be fixed00:06
cjwatsongo upstream> yes, please do send it00:06
NCommandercjwatson, I've got passwd, and chpasswd fixed00:16

NCommanderI'm a freaking idiot00:42
NCommandercjwatson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/143171/ - I apologize, I'm freaking fried. Tab damage properly fixed, testing now00:47
cjwatsonNCommander: couple more bits of tab damage in passwd.c and newusers.c, but I can fix those - just in case you're sending upstream00:51
NCommandercjwatson, I'll get it. I thought I nailed all the tab damage. What are you using to see it? (I turned on the vi tab ... thingy which highlights the difference)00:52
cjwatsonNCommander: rest looks fine00:52
cjwatsonNCommander: I'm just looking at the URL you posted, you can see it by the alignment00:53

* NCommander orders dinner while this builds00:57
cjwatsoncalc: bug 327821 appears to be because (a) myspell-en-us is installed as part of desktop, presumably due to a dependency from (lots of stuff) -> hunspell -> myspell-en-us | myspell-dictionary | hunspell-dictionary; (b) language-support-writing-en Depends: hunspell-en-us which Replaces: and Conflicts: myspell-en-us00:58

* NCommander found a bug ...01:02
reduzdudes! dudes! I've been trying out the latest version of ubuntu 9.04 beta, which i upgraded to some days ago.. and out of nowhere the mouse went crazy and started to move around all by itself clicking everywhere! it even copypasted text all around between windows!!01:04
directhexreduz, physical mouse, or laptop touchpad?01:05
reduzphysical regular everyday mouse01:05
reduzthe pointer, of course, i'm not drunk :)01:05
reduzkilled X (exited session) and started again and now it's fine01:05
NCommanderreduz, I think he meant was it a normal mouse or trackpad; I've had that issue with trackpads, but I haven't seen it with a normal mouse01:05
cjwatsonI find that once in a blue moon a mouse button gets stuck, and I need to whack random buttons a few times to unstick it01:06
reduzah yeah it's a regular standard $10 optical mouse01:06
* NCommander does a rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse to get his laptop's trackpad going again01:06
* TheMuso has had control/shift/alt buttons sticking, not physically, but in the computer's memory a fair bit, but thats often been a11y related./01:06
reduzbut here it's like, the mouse cursor starts moving by itself pushing all buttons01:06
reduzonly restarting X fixed it01:06
NCommanderTheMuso, can't be as bad my old laptop01:06
NCommanderTheMuso, having -8 memory errors is a bad thing :-)01:06
TheMusoNCommander: SOunds like it.01:07
reduzif it happens again, any idea what kind of info i can collect to pinpoint the problem?01:07
NCommandercjwatson, chpasswd works, but it spits out a warning each time it updates a user so I need to move the warning code; same with pwconv. Will ubiquity freak out if there is any strerr output?01:08
cjwatsonNCommander: if ubiquity cares about the presence of stderr output in any way, it's a bug and I'll fix it01:08

pittikirkland: I'll get to it today06:13
keespitti: oh!  I wasn't expecting you to be up yet!  :)06:14
keesgood morning.  :)06:14
pittislangasek: ah, I'm bitten by this as well; an iwlist is fairly harmless (as opposed to some ifdown/ifup hacks we did in the past), so I'm all for it06:15

pittiand I still have a ton of stuff to do before I leave for the LF summit06:15
pittikees: ah, you can reproduce it?06:17
pittikees: is that only for esata, or also for USB disks?06:17
keespitti: yes.  if I plug in this drive via USB, I am prompted.  via esata, I'm not.06:17
pittikees: od you get an icon on the desktop/computer place?06:17
pittikees: my gut feeling is that it is detected as an internal, non-removable disk06:18
pittikees: look at the lshal stanza, .hotpluggable/.removable06:18

pittithat sounds tractable to fix06:41

pittikees: so, please submit the hal debugging output, for both non-sudo and sudo gnome-mount06:41
pittikees: and also supply the output of "gnome-mount -vbud /dev/sde1" (-u -> unmount), which should work as normal user; if not, try again with root06:42

juanjecjwatson: sorry, this was for our ppa so we could use in the main time. I didn't mean to change for the patch :-/ Sorry11:32
cjwatsonthis all seems quite wrong though. There'll be all sorts of problems caused by putting a root command in there.11:33
juanjecjwatson: yes, I was looking for that problem (I'm still doing it) but i didn't find yet the place11:33
cjwatsonjuanje: oh, also, never use a file in debian/patches/ to patch files in debian/11:34
cjwatsonjust change the file directly11:34
juanjeummm11:34
juanjecjwatson: ok, it was just because it was a script which will be installed on /usr/sbin/ not a debian file11:36
cjwatson(ubuntu_update_grub.diff does this, I know; that's a bug and not one to be imitated)11:36
cjwatsonjuanje: that doesn't matter, the fact is that it's in debian/ and not in the .orig.tar.gz11:36
juanjecjwatson: yes, that was the one I looked to make mine..11:36

juanjeI undertand11:37
cjwatsonubuntu_update_grub isn't actually applied, it's apparently just kept there for future reference or something11:37

cjwatsonI'll remove it since it's preserved in revision control11:37

RAOFlifeless: I'd be happy enough with a workaround such as a recommendation for a better mail client :)11:40
lifelessRAOF: I hear tinymail works11:41
juanjecjwatson: I was trying another approach in another branch. Doing it by fixing the real bug (splashimage should allow UUID paths), but I'm still looking in the code... :-/11:42
cjwatsonjuanje: the syntax would be a bit tricky. What did you use?11:43
juanjecjwatson: syntax? what syntax?11:43
juanjefor the path?11:44
juanjeI didn't put any. The updated-grub did11:44
cjwatsonjuanje: in order to allow for opening images by UUID and path, the syntax of the splashimage command would need to be extended, would it not?11:45
juanjeI just put the file in the right place (/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz) and the update-grub did the work11:45
juanjeummm11:46
cjwatsonand there is a fundamental problem with that because grub_open supports no syntax which allows UUIDs11:47
juanjecjwatson: yes, I saw it. But other files are opened with that with success. I think because they open first the device (or set the root device) and the open the file11:48
juanjecjwatson: well, I think... I'm not totally sure...11:49
cjwatsonI'm talking about the syntax "(hd0,0)/foo/bar/baz"11:50
cjwatsonif you mean the kernel and the initrd, then yes, they do so by first setting the uuid, and then opening a file relative to that11:50
cjwatsonit would probably make sense to use 'uuid foo\nsplashimage /relative/path'11:50
cjwatsonassuming that that actually works, mind :)11:51
juanjecjwatson:  what I did in the branch was setting the root to the uuid device before (but in the menu.lst) and then putting just the relative path for the splashimage. And in that way works11:52
cjwatsonjuanje: there's a separate command for setting root by uuid11:53
cjwatsonjuanje: you should use that, not the 'root' command11:53
juanjecjwatson: I guess the thing is doing something similar, but in the code. Just before the grub_open, setting the uuid root11:53
cjwatsonjuanje: well, no, it wouldn't be necessary to do that in grub_open if it were done properly in update-grub11:53
cjwatsonnot strictly necessary anyway11:54
juanjecjwatson: yes, I know11:54
juanjeummm11:54
cjwatsonbut using the 'root' command in update-grub as a workaround is right out11:54
cjwatsonyou need to use the 'uuid' command11:54
cjwatsonat least, if $grub_root_device is a UUID11:54
juanjecjwatson: well the documentation says it's almost the same command11:54
RAOFlifeless: Hm.  Tinymail (or, at least, the 'modest' client built on it) is certainly fast; it just doesn't actually work, though :)11:55
juanjeand if you are not using uuid it will working anyway11:55
cjwatson"almost the same" is not "the same"11:55
juanjecjwatson: hehe, ok11:55
cjwatsonjuanje: the whole *point* of the exercise is to fix things for people using UUIDs11:55
cjwatsonso saying "it'll work if you aren't using UUIDs" is a bit fatuous11:55
cjwatsonit works right now with no changes if you aren't using UUIDs :)11:56
juanjecjwatson: yes, probably, no one uses non uuid path, but if what if this happen?11:56
juanjeok11:56
cjwatsonyou use the 'root' command for such cases11:56
cjwatsonlook at lines 799-806 of update-grub11:57
lifelessRAOF: :)11:57
lifelessor should I say :(11:57
juanjecjwatson: yes, know those lines, I used them11:58
cjwatsonjuanje: not properly, though11:59
pittiKeybuk: I'd like your opinion on bug 347370 (last comment)11:59
juanjeummm11:59
cjwatsonjuanje: your version of it never emitted a 'uuid' command11:59
ubottuError: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/347370/+text)11:59
juanjecjwatson: the case didn't work well for me11:59
cjwatsonjuanje: that needs to be made to work11:59
juanjeyou mean to change the "root" command there for the "uuid" one?12:00
cjwatsonjuanje: if the root device is (hdX,Y), it should produce a 'root' command. If it is a UUID, it should produce a 'uuid' command - just as in the lines I referred to above12:02
juanjecjwatson: I thought about it, but I didn't because what I told you before. but I guess you're right, it must be uuid because with other paths wont get into the case12:02
juanjeyes12:02
juanjeyou are right12:02
cjwatsonactually, if the root device is (hdX,Y), there is no need to produce a 'root' command, because the 'splashimage' command's syntax can already cope with that12:02
juanjethat's why i didn't in that cases12:03
juanjeactually, putting root comand was an error....12:03
cjwatsonin other words, if the root device is (hdX,Y), emit 'splashimage=(hdX,Y)/relative/path'; if the root device is a UUID, emit 'uuid foo-bar-baz' and 'splashimage /relative/path'12:03
cjwatsonor splashimage=/relative/path I guess. I don't think it matters12:03
juanjeso, the patch could be the same, but changing the root command for the uuid one, couldn't it?12:04
cjwatsonyes, probably12:04
juanjeok12:04

pittiI'm checking volume_id_encode_string()14:10
cjwatsonpitti: I'd be worried about %s in the string14:11
Keybukthat's the shell printf surely?14:12
pitticjwatson: hm, true that14:12
pittimeh, why can't I just get the label as it is..14:12
Keybukcjwatson: well, if you trust udev, you know there's no % in there14:13
cjwatsonand yeah, what Keybuk said, in C \x is decoded by the compiler's lexer14:13
cjwatsonor lexical analysis pass or whatever the proper name is :)14:13
Keybukpitti: because labels can include \0, and C strings (and therefore udev's db) can't :p14:13
Keybukhmm14:14
Keybukactually those don't come from udev, they come from vol_id (blkid soon)14:14
Keybukand anyone can overwrite them with a udev rule14:14
pitti./extras/volume_id/lib/libvolume_id.c, yes14:14
Keybukpitti: the ones you get from volume_id are *not* escaped or encoded14:15
Keybukthey're raw14:15
Keybukyou only get an escaped or encoded copy if you use udevadm14:15
pittiKeybuk: hal braindeadly calls udevadm info -e instead of just calling the volume_id_() functions for those14:15
Keybuksee, you're running a program intended to output for humans ;)14:16

mdeslaurRiddell: I don't think we were affected by that bug, I didn't use that "untrusted" patch, I pulled the patch out of 1.18beta114:21
mdeslaurm4v: did you get affected by the lcms update?14:21
pittiKeybuk: I'm writing a decode_escape() function now; can't be more than 10 lines anyway14:22
m4vmdeslaur: yes, as soon as it was updated14:22
m4vRiddell: great, I will try to update from your ppa14:22
mdeslaurm4v: do you have steps I can use to reproduce the issue?14:23
m4vmdeslaur: only if you have koffice2 compiled from kde's svn, basically Krita asserted when opening any .kra file14:26
* Riddell notes that koffice2 is in jaunty14:27
Keybukpitti: that should go in libudev I reckon14:27
Keybukalongside the encode one14:27
pittiwould be handy14:27
pittiOTOH14:27
pittiKeybuk: if you are using libudev, you can just use the non-encoding functions in the first place14:27
m4vah, i didn't know, that should work, just open krita, paint something, save as kra, and try to open it again, I'll try it mysql14:28
Keybukpitti: things like the labels don't come from udev though14:28
m4vmyself*14:28
Keybukudev *gets* them encoded from blkid14:28
Keybukand never decodes them itself14:28
Keybukso a decode function would be useful14:28
pittiah, I see14:28
Keybukerr, vol_id in this case14:30
Keybukbut the same holds true in the future14:30
mdeslaurm4v: work for me with the version in jaunty. Do you have color profiles configured in it?14:36
ttxpitti: remember when joining a domain with likewise-open would break desktop things by aggressively restarting DBUS ? we fixed it by reloading instead...14:37
ttxpitti: but likewise-open5 *requires* (according to upstream) DBUS restart to pick up nsswitch changes14:37
pittittx: I don't, I haven't looked into likewise-open at all14:38
Riddellmdeslaur, m4v: I confirm krita crashes using current lcms and doesn't with 1.1814:38
pittittx: why woudl dbus be affected by an nsswitch change?14:38
Riddellwhen opening a .kra file14:38
Riddellmdeslaur: are you using krita-kde4  ?14:39
m4vRiddell: yep, I get it too, if you open krita from a console, you should see an assert14:39
mdeslaurRiddell: oh, no, sorry14:39
ttxpitti: good question. Not restarting DBUS results in "Failed to initialize HAL" when logging in as a domain user14:39

m4vmdeslaur: not that i know of, i use the sRGB built-in (lcms internal) if that's what you mean. and I delete krita stuff in ~/.kde regulary14:40
pittittx: that's just an one-time problem after installation, no?14:41

tkamppeterfacundobatista: Perhaps you could do the following: Find the kernel package of intrepid on Launchpad and install it onyour system. It should not have dependencies or only dependencies on kernel components. All what you need to install should be packages with version numbers in their names, so nothing of Jaunty should get overwritten. If you reboot then, the old kernel should appear in the boot menu.17:13

pjwafflehey how do you base a distribution off of another distribution eg. ubuntu20:46
pjwaffleI would like to use the init scripts and maybe apt-get to create a rolling release distro20:46
pjwaffleIMHO ubuntu needs a rolling release distro to test really early development packages eg. kernel 2.6.2920:50
pjwafflelike debian's sid20:50
BUGabundopjwaffle: go try fedora20:50
mnemofedora is not rolling release20:50
BUGabundowe need some time to stablize20:50
mnemotry rawhide20:50
pjwaffleI know they have rawhide but I use apt-get and debian packages20:50
BUGabundoand then the next cycle begins again20:50
BUGabundofor cutting edge use bzr or PPAs20:50
pjwaffleand sid is not so driver-friendly20:50
mnemopjwaffle: ubuntu offers the ability to test mainline kernels and latest xorg bits though20:50
pjwafflewell you know my question is how do you base off another distro?20:52
pjwaffleI would consider myself an intermediate/early-experienced user20:52
BUGabundoeither use what is available to you or package your own newer versions20:52
pjwaffleI mean do you just use cp and copy the init scripts to your chroot or what? isn't there a version control for the entire ubuntu distro?20:53

keesgouki: nah, just symlink intrepid to jaunty22:22
keesthey're mostly already symlinks.  :)22:22

maxbmvo_: I think update-manager used to not auto-close its progress window if you display the embedded terminal - was this a deliberate feature? It seems to have broken.23:15

maxbon one of my machines, that is. Set to "false" on the other, but it still closed.23:19
mvo_maxb: hm, odd. let me try to reproduce23:22
mvo_maxb: heh :) turns out this was changed back in intrepid, the key to control it is /apps/update-manager/autoclose_install-window23:25
* mvo_ has faulty memory23:25
* maxb fires up gconf-editor23:25
maxbIt's on... but not in my per-user gconf23:26
maxbAlso, IIRC it didn't always close or always not-close - it depended on whether you expanded the Details terminal or not23:27
mvo_oh, I see now what you mean. I don't think it was that clever, but actually that would be a good feature23:27
* mvo_ is a bit tired already23:27
maxbHow puzzling. Surely I can't have hallucinated this feature? :-)23:28
* maxb boots intrepid for some comparative testing23:28
mvo_maxb: let me know, but I will have to crash soonish. just poke me when I'm online again23:34
