MiloszWhat's Ipia?00:04
azeemMilosz: why do you ask?00:05
Miloszazeem, adding packages to my PPA00:05
azeemdo you mean LPIA?00:05
MiloszLPIA00:05
Miloszsorry I wasn't sure if it's an uppercase i or a lowercase L00:05
MiloszI would google it but there is no information about it00:06
Miloszanyway if this is not the right place to ask...00:06
jdongLow Power Intel Architecture00:06
jdong(i.e. Atom)00:06
Miloszthanks jdong00:06
Miloszok it's Atom, I see00:06
jdongalthough Atom is more or less x86 compatible, an Atom-aware compiler can generate code that executes more efficiently on the Atom00:07
MiloszI know00:07
jdongprimarily due to in-order vs out of order execution; as I understand00:07
MiloszI've only never heard the term LPIA before really00:07
jdonginterestingly, the patches for that may or may not be in our GCC :)00:07
Miloszheh00:07
MiloszI'd think you can optimize a great deal for Atom's in-order execution00:08
MiloszI mean optimize the asm by knowing it's an Atom CPU it will run on00:08

geofftI don't suppose anyone online is familiar with AppArmor?02:50
geofftspecifically, how to deal with the possibility of /etc/krb5.conf being a symlink02:50
ScottKgeofft: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor03:02
geofftScottK: Hm, that doesn't help me a whole lot. I can just add the target of the symlink to the apparmor profile03:06
geofftbut what I'm really trying to ask is, can I make AppArmor follow symlinks?03:06
ScottKOK.  No idea about that.  jdstrand would be the one to ask.03:06
geofftIt looks like bug 132468 was kinda about this, and the profile just picked up the target of the symlink03:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 132468 in apparmor "Nameservice abstraction should also include /var/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13246803:07
geofftand so was 203898, and the program just stopped making symlinks. So maybe you can't do this?03:07
dtchenapparmor does not, no.03:08
dtchenit's one of the things i'm looking at for LTS03:08
geofftso there's no existing functionality for saying "it's safe to follow /etc/krb5.conf being a symlink"03:09
geofftany idea if upstream or ubuntu would be interested in a patch to add this support?03:09

kb9vqfAny idea why a program would SIGSEGV with a fileno.c: No such file or directory.  ?03:45
kb9vqfI can't find this fileno.c in any ubuntu packages; nearest I can tell it is part of the gnu c library03:45
=== Snova_ is now known as Snova
geofftis it reproducible, and if so, can you get a backtrace out of gdb or something?03:46
kb9vqfgeofft: very, and that is the GDB output when the crash occurs03:47
kb9vqfgeofft: well, actually, there are a couple more lines, see here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/357556/comments/503:47

kb9vqfLet's try that again.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/357556/comments/503:47
ubottuUbuntu bug 357556 in xscreensaver "phosphor crashed with SIGSEGV in fileno_unlocked()" [Medium,New]03:48
kb9vqfTrying to get an actual backtrace now (sorry, haven't used GDB before, still learning :-) )03:50
geoffttype "bt"03:53
geofft(or "backtrace")03:53
geofftI believe libc6-dbg will get you the debugging symbols to make GDB happy? Dunno if they'd help much03:54
kb9vqfgeofft: OK, just waiting for it to crash again.  It usually crashes between 5 and 45 minutes after starting03:54

kb9vqfgeofft: Not sure if you're still there, but it finally crashed again on two machines, and I uploaded the backtraces here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/357556/comments/705:46
ubottuUbuntu bug 357556 in xscreensaver "phosphor crashed with SIGSEGV in fileno_unlocked()" [Medium,New]05:46
kb9vqfgeofft: It's not much more information to go on, unfortunately05:46
kb9vqfgeofft: The funny thing is GDB claimed it found all the needed debugging symbols when I attached to the running phosphor process, but there are still unresolved functions05:47
geofftkb9vqf: The unresolved ones look like invalid addresses. From that backtrace, I can't tell anything...06:01
kb9vqfgeofft: me either :/06:02
kb9vqfgeofft: there are only four instances of fileno() in the program06:03
kb9vqfgeofft: I am wondering if the problem is more severe, and possibly lurking somewhere in glibc or the X server, as phosphor is not the only screensaver to crash after a certain amount of time06:04
kb9vqfgeofft: I have had almost all of the opengl xsavers I have tried crash in this manner (dunno yet if all are crashing on fileno_unlocked or not)06:05

cjwatsonkwwii_: any luck on the ubiquity changes?16:42
* maxb blinks at the ftbfs report and wonders why linux-ports and linux-ports-meta tried to build on amd6416:47
cjwatsonmaxb: they aren't in P-a-s16:49
cjwatsontherefore they try to build and immediately fail16:49
maxbworth adding, now there is an Ubuntu-specific P-a-s ?16:51
cjwatsonalthough we have the capability now, I'd explicitly prefer to keep them in sync (and so would the Debian maintainer)16:51
cjwatsonyou could file a bug on buildd.debian.org asking for Ubuntu-specific entries, since there's no linux-ports package in Debian16:51

keesslangasek: so, what's the policy for packages that have ftbfs since Nov?  do we leave them that way since fixing them would essentially break feature freeze?17:52

IntuitiveNippleI've updated the orbit2 package to create a -dbg symbol package. Currently it has always been a direct sync from Debian with no Ubuntu changes. I've added an Ubuntu version suffix but I'm not sure where/what to set the debian/control Maintainer to since it currently points to the Debian maintainer. Do we have a team that it should be set to?19:04
cjwatsonIntuitiveNipple: why does it need a -dbg package, as opposed to the -dbgsym package on ddebs.ubuntu.com? Does it need a separate build pass with different compiler options?19:06
cjwatsonIntuitiveNipple: the general answer to your question is that running 'update-maintainer' from ubuntu-dev-tools will sort it out for you, but ...19:06
IntuitiveNippleHmmm... we have two debug symbol systems?19:06
cjwatson-dbg is for (a) packages that already had it in Debian, where it isn't worth diverging to remove it (b) cases where it needs a separate build pass19:07
cjwatson-dbgsym handles cases where the debug symbols can be extracted entirely automatically19:07
IntuitiveNippleOh! that explains alot! I am debugging a complex AT-SPI > java > eclipse issue and almost all other packages had -dbg packages so I *assumed* in view of bug #29294 that it was 'missing'19:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 29294 in orbit2 "please provide a liborbit2-dbg debug package" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2929419:08
IntuitiveNippleThis is what happens when constantly testing new installs... this one didn't have the ddebs repo added to apt sources !19:09
cjwatsonit's possible that 29294 predates ddebs19:11
cjwatsonor at least predates them being widely known and used19:11
cjwatsonI'll close that bug with an explanation19:11
IntuitiveNippleYes, although alter comments fooled me too... from late last year. I'll update with a comment to where they are :D19:12
IntuitiveNipplei'm already doing it... you want me to stop?19:12
cjwatsonI'm happy to do it since I have authoritative and helpful links to hand19:12
IntuitiveNippleThanks19:12
IntuitiveNippleI was referring to pitti's email of Novmeber 2007 on devel-discuss announcing it19:12
cjwatsonthere's a wiki page with up-to-date information and help19:13
IntuitiveNippleGood... Google didn't find that for me so far19:13

IntuitiveNippleI looked at all the other Debug* pages except that one earlier!19:14
IntuitiveNipplecould have saved myself 1/2 hour19:14
cjwatsonbug updated19:14
IntuitiveNippleI only got onto that because I've finalyl pinned down why the Gnome at-spi/gail/atk-bridge causes problems for eclipse (got a decent backtrace from one of the threads) and wanted to see if there was more debug info for gdb... turns out there isn't after all :s19:15
