slangasekwe can consider that.  it does effectively mean we don't get jigdo support for the RC, but if we time it fairly close then we can at least get some jigdo benefit07:49

siretartpitti: see my latest post to ubuntu-devel. I've reverted to the 2.4 branch08:09
pittisiretart: interesting; that still works with current X then?08:09

RAOFHello, tracker!08:42
RAOFHm.  Apparently tracker would like to tell me that my index is corrupted.08:42
liwdoes tracker work for anyone else? it's never done anything useful for me :(08:43
lifelessliw: using all your cpu is useful08:45
Keybukwe don't even install it by default now08:45
lifelessliw: it tests your cpu08:45
Keybukand I'm pretty sure it's removed by update-manager on upgrade08:45
directhexta dholbach08:46
siretart`Keybuk: I can confirm that update-manager didn't remove it on my amd64 desktop last week when I upgraded from intrepid->jaunty08:46
mvoI can ensure that it gets removed if thats what we want08:46
siretart`+108:47
mvo(sorry, I have not followed the state of tracker)08:47
seb128mvo: we decided again doing that in a systematic way because some users are using it08:48
liwKeybuk, it didn't get removed from my laptop, actually08:48
mvook08:48
RAOF_Keybuk: Thanks; looks like the bug is tracker spamming "OMGINDEXCORRUPTED" messages into the void.08:48
liwI'd love to have something like tracker, if it didn't hog my computer and actually found things when I search08:49
seb128tracker will probably be better next cycle08:49
liwgood to hear08:49
seb128the jaunty version is basically a rewrite, it still has some issue but gets lot of work08:49
siretart`RAOF_: where does it spam to?08:50
seb128nokia is paying to get it working fine on their device apparently08:50
Keybukseb128: is there going to be a rewrite to use fsnotify instead of inotify?08:51
liwfsnotify?08:52
liwah, some new kind of implementation, good08:53
Keybukliw: lwn.net/Articles/31135008:53
seb128Keybuk: that I don't know, but now it's possible to have applications pushing datas rather than the indexer going through the disk all the time08:54
seb128Keybuk: ie your mailed can send datas to tracker when receiving emails rather than relying on inotify to go through the disk emails08:54
seb128mailed -> mailer08:55
RAOF_seb128: Do we actually have the evolution side of that system in jaunty?08:55
seb128no ;-)08:55
seb128the new version is still new, I expect it to work better08:55
seb128I would not bother too much with the jaunty version08:55
seb128there is frequent db corruptions and still issues08:55
Keybukah08:55
cody-somervillewgrant, Xubuntu *is* an official flavour :)08:56
cody-somervilleMirv, I'd like to, yes.08:56
liwevolution db corruptions? never :)08:56
Keybukone of the neat features of fsnotify/fanotify is that a watching application gets a file descriptor to the data just written/read08:56
Keybukso you don't need to stat(), open(), etc. massively saving on overhead08:56
seb128liw: no, tracker db corruptions ;-)08:57
wgrantcody-somerville: It's no more official ('supported', I suppose the correct term is) than Mythbuntu or UbuntuStudio, is it?08:57
liwKeybuk, can fsnotify do things like "show me everything that ever changes in this filesystem" or "...inside this directory tree"?08:57
seb128liw: btw have you seen this bug about computer-janitor using update-manager as translation domain?08:57
Keybukliw: in theory, yes08:58
liwseb128, I have; I haven't investigated yet, I'll have to discuss the gettext domain issue with mvo08:58
Mirvwgrant: not supported by Canonical, but official (like Mythbuntu, Ubuntu Studio)... it's good to refer to those as official as there are also unofficial Ubuntu variants like Eeebuntu, Ubuntu ME etc..08:58
Keybukliw: fanotify is by-filesystem rather than by-file/directory08:58
seb128ok08:59
liwKeybuk, übercool!08:59
wgrantMirv: True. But my point is that it's odd to single out Xubuntu.08:59
liwI'm going to have to add support for that in my backup program08:59
Mirvwgrant: yes, regarding your actual point, it's probably just historical, there have been other such cases as well08:59
Keybukliw: inside-this-directory-tree is harder, in that you'd have to read the filename and strncmp or something ;)08:59

liwKeybuk, that'd be one way; I'd have to benchmark whether it'd be faster to scan the directory tree and remember all inodes and then compare with indoes that change09:00
Keybukliw: I can't imagine that it wouldn't be faster ;)09:01
Keybukthough the overhead for a smaller directory of processing and discarding unwanted events could be high, I guess09:01
cody-somervillewgrant, I'm not sure what their status is09:01
liwKeybuk, depends on size of tree and number of changes, but I'm too stupid to know which is faster without benchmarking09:01

ScottKsiretart: I gather your adventure in Intel bleeding edge stuff did not have a happy ending?11:11
siretart`ScottK: for my laptop, yes, I'm happy with the 2.4 branch on my laptop11:16
ScottKsiretart: Weren't you also testing the latest 2.6?11:17
siretart`ScottK: jaunty ships some later revision of the 2.6 branch. I've tried the 2.6 HEAD, 2.7 HEAD and 2.4 HEAD11:18
siretart`ScottK: I got the best results from the 2.4.1 package with bryce's patches as found in intrepid11:18
siretart`ScottK: having said this, I'd suggest to include my package in universe for people like me.11:19
ScottKI see.  Some Gentoo guy was recently telling me that his had recently gotten better with the bleeding edge stuff.11:19
ScottKsiretart: As long as you're willing to support it for the life of Jaunty, I think it's a great idea.  Otherwise a PPA might be better.  What do you think?11:19
siretart`yes, 2.7 is a big improvment on my laptop compared to 2.6. but still hasn't acceptable performance11:20
seb128siretart: where do you notice those slowness issues?11:20
siretart`ScottK: I'm willing to integrate updates from intrepid-updates to the package, yes.11:20
siretart`ScottK: I'm not familiar with the code to actually start hacking on11:20
siretart`seb128: compiz and planet-pengiun-racer are not usable at all.11:21
ScottKsiretart: OK.  The only issue then would be any -security issues that come up after Intrepid eol11:21
seb128what in compiz?11:21
seb128normal actions, ie alt-tab switch11:21
siretart`seb128: resizing windows, the expose effect, alt-tab switch, etc.11:22
seb128hum ok11:22
seb128I guess it's not that slow on my card11:22
siretart`seb128: alt-tab switch was unnaceptable in metacity with compositing as well11:22
seb128I was just wondering if people were using extra features which showed the issue11:22
ScottKsiretart: Did you try Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"?  While it's still not up to Intrepid, I find it usable.11:23
siretart`ScottK: err - I'm not suggesting to put it in main but universe. and for universe we don't promise security (or other) updates at all11:24
ScottKsiretart: True.11:24
siretart`ScottK: no, I haven't tried that option11:24
ScottKsiretart: You might.  I understand it makes some people have crashes so is not suitable for a default, but it made a huge difference for me.11:25
ScottKFor me it's like uxa without crashes.11:25
siretart`is that option for the 2.4 branch or 2.6 branch?11:25

ubottuLaunchpad bug 359600 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "Solved slow 2D performances with EXA" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35960011:26
siretart`I've been testing the 2.6 and 2.7 branches both with UXA11:26
ScottKWe had it for default for a while in Intrepid, but didn't keep it, so it must be for both.11:26
siretart`so I cannot really comment on EXA. EXA was more than unacceptable for me in 2.6, and I didn't even bother trying it in 2.711:27
ScottKI see.  It made a huge difference for me with exa.11:27
ScottKsiretart: For a new package you'll need two motu-release acks.  You have mine to get you started.11:27
siretart`ScottK: okay. who else from motu-release is around here? :-)11:29
slangasekScottK: I don't know of any reports of crashes due to greedy migration being enabled, but the patch to xserver-xorg-video-intel to /try/ to enable it by default for those chips causes crashes11:29
slangasekthe only issue I've found with greedy migration here is pixmap lossage11:30
slangasek(firefox in particular likes to go black in patches)11:30
Lureslangasek: I have also noticed some black areas with greedy (but not to the level that I would go back to non-greedy ;-))11:31

davmor2cjwatson: I though that got fixed13:02
cjwatsonnot to my knowledge13:03
slangasekI don't like shipping the RC with broken OEM mode, but doing a respin now cuts into our testing time and our image prepublishing time13:03

Riddellyes, it's not the end of the world13:08
slangasekok, then that's my preference13:09
RiddellI'm just mindful that it's not well tested so if there's further problems (and davmor2 had issues yesterday) they won't be picked up13:09

seb128what changed?13:22
ograah13:22
slangasekthough it could be a library regression, rather than the gdm change13:22
ograseb128, i get the "greeter is crashing, trying with another greeter" message in gdm suddenly13:23
seb128slangasek: the change he did was a one line boolean logic for the hours format combo13:23
ograyeah, that doesnt really look like it could cause anything13:23
seb128ogra: that means the greater is crashing, could be any library gdm is using or xorg13:23
slangasekthat patch doesn't touch the greeter, so probably not13:24
seb128do you get apport triggering? anything in the logs about a crash?13:24
ogranoting in Xorg.0.log ... inspecting the rest atm13:24
ograi see 7usr/bin/gdm in the processlist13:24
pittislangasek, bryce: I updated the "known issues" bits on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview#Known%20issues with the workarounds known to me (we have a few more crashers, but they involve patching the driver, which is a bit out of scope for release notes); does that look okay to you, or is it too technical?13:26
ogragdm log only has xkbcomp messages ...13:26
ogranothing in /var/crash13:26
slangasekpitti: it's the wrong place for it; bugs that aren't fixed for final should be documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes13:26
slangasekpitti: I can take care of porting that over, though13:27
pittislangasek: ah, I'll move it over13:27
pittislangasek: I guess it doesn't hurt to also keep it on TechOverview, for the RC?13:27
slangasekif the tech overview will go up on the ubuntu.com website again, then we should have it ready for final, i.e., eliminate duplication w/ the release notes13:28

seb128I'm confused now13:48
ograi just did an install from a fully working livesession13:48
ograafter reboot i hang at the greeter message13:48
ograkilling gdm and running startx only gets me a wallpaper13:49
ograthe testinstall i did with the beta image was upgraded yesterday and didnt show any issues13:49

ograi see nothing in the gdm or xorg logs13:50

seb128I would rather think local corruption14:37
ograok, i'll try a reinstall to a clean device ... its 1h max that i lose by it14:38

cjwatsoncody-somerville: it was replaced by console-setup in edgy, which unified X and console keymap configuration16:24
cjwatsonhttp://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaneInstallerKeyboard16:24
cody-somervilleAwesome16:25
cjwatsoncody-somerville: Debian will be doing the same; there are a few things to fix that were more critical to Debian than to us16:25
cody-somervillecjwatson, What is Debian doing now?16:26
cjwatsonhopefully we'll get those resolved this year16:26
cjwatsonDebian's still on the old system16:26
cjwatsonconsole-setup was actually mostly written in Debian, although we contributed quite a lot to it16:26
cjwatsonbut it isn't the default there yet16:26
cody-somervilleOkay.16:27
cody-somervilleThanks :)16:27
cjwatsonwhy the question?16:27

aweasac: ping16:35
asacawe: yes. i am still here ;)16:39
aweasac: the per-station bssid.  yikes.  ;)16:40
aweasac: i think it's something to do with the key exchange16:40
asacawe: hehe. just curious how that is different to a "normal" shared essid setup16:40
asacwasnt obvious from what you pasted/wrote16:41
mvoseb128: bbc-plugin> I have a lot more, my totem is 2.26.1-0ubuntu216:41
aweasac: whenever the mainframe ( or  whatever you want to call it ), sees a new station send a Probe, it responds with a new BSSID16:42
mvoseb128: let me upgrade16:42
aweso every station gets a unique BSSID for the same ESSID16:42
aweI don't understand how this messes up the key exchange, but this setup seems to work fine for Open and WEP configurations16:43
asacawe: are those BSSIDs kind of volatile? e.g. does the main frame hand out new ones regularly or something?16:43
aweI spent about 4 hours onsite to narrow it done to what I described.  I'll probably need to go back onsite again to get further details.16:43
aweasac: it hands out a new BSSID for each unique station16:44
aweI don't know whether they can be re-used or not16:44

calcdirecthex: java :)18:16
directhexblimey18:17
directhexopenjdk?18:17
calcthere has been some talk of getting openjdk and the java bits for OOo onto the cd, not sure if the OOo bits will make it though18:17
superm1liw, that would take a long time to build. i'd use the info from the wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile) instead18:17
superm1liw, it's got advice on how to just build one of the x86 kernels rather than the 4 or so that it normally would18:17
directhexcalc, i think magicking 100 meg for openjdk is already a major challenge18:18
liwsuperm1, thanks; I'd be happy to wait for it to compile, as long as the result is correct, though18:18
directhexcalc, my current chain of thought is only offering to free up ~4 meg18:18
superm1liw, well you will have just as accurate a result, just far quicker if you follow the directions on that page18:19
directhexcalc, this chain of thought may also result in lynchings18:19
brycemdz, sounds like it18:24
brycemdz, although I'd not seen that particular error message before..  But the timing and symptoms match up18:25
calcdirecthex: i think there are some plans to free up more space, but i don't know how18:26
directhexcalc, i'm sure details will be forthcoming at UDS18:26
directhexcalc, if it were to receive some fixing of slightly over-eager Recommends:, then replacing Rhythmbox with Banshee would save megs & add features18:27
directhexcalc, this is not the case today, but certainly when using --without-recommends the numbers speak for themselves18:28

calcMirv: i believe cjwatson thinks that is a bad idea18:37
bddebianOf course debdelta and pristine-tar are still r(b)deps afaik18:37
calcMirv: would both increase memory requirements and slow it down more afaik18:37
Mirvdirecthex: not as good as with packages, but sladen (or someone) estimated 15% gain could be done18:37

Mirvmaxb: they are in use already selectively, for example openoffice18:39
calcmaxb: i implemented it back in 7.1018:39
keesjdong: i.e. the ability to run a C program18:39
jdongkees: is there a PoC anywhere?18:39
calcmaxb: er 8.04 actually18:39
jdongkees: I presume most udev-using distros are vulnerable?18:39
directhexmaxb, depends on whether you want debian compatibility18:39
keesjdong: I am unaware of a public exploit, but it probably won't take long to be developed18:39
maxbI mean, how much CD space would be saved by using them across the board.18:39
calcmaxb: maybe 150MB more than current maybe, but it would increase unpack requirements by 30MB for all packages18:40
keesjdong: yes, any distro running udev is vulnerable.  I'm not aware of any work-arounds either.  it's a pretty serious issue.18:40
calcer 30MB memory18:40
lamontbddebian: ah, that.  yeah - let me get a debian upload to close the debian bug and then I'll request a sync,  because hey, why it's not like we're frozen or anything :-D18:40

jdongkees: noted18:40
ebroderkees: Restarting udev isn't good enough?18:40
ebroderI missed that in the notice. Bleh18:41

bddebianlamont: Well I meant for Debian :)18:41
ebroderjdong: It very well might be18:41
lamontah, ok18:41
Mirvmaxb: on live CD the packages aren't available as such, since the whole CD is a squashhfs image. therefore for live-cd lzma usage squashfs-lzma should be used.18:42
ebroderjdong: And we were just finally starting to build up some uptime!18:42
jdongebroder: haha, always something to ruin it :)18:42
jdong*attempts a udev stop-and-start on a test box*18:42

Mirvand someone correct me if I'm wrong etc :)18:43
Keybukjdong: don't do that18:43
jdongKeybuk: hehe alright then, jdong will reboot instead :)18:43
maxbI was going to say "there are some loose packages on the livecd", but only 32 and they come to <10MB18:44
Keybukjdong: you can use /etc/init.d/udev restart18:44
Keybukbut then the upgrade should do that for you18:44
jdongKeybuk: so does applying the update without restarting effect the security update?18:45
Keybukyou must restart the running udevd18:45
Keybukit us udevd that is exploitable18:45
Keybukkees: interesting point, jaunty will restart the running udevd - but pre-jaunty won't18:46
ebroderkees: Are you in touch with the Debian security team yet? Do you know if we should expect an update today? This week?18:46
keesebroder: they are aware of it; I'm not sure when it is planned for.  I know RH said they won't be publishing today.  I expect SUSE to publish shortly.  (1700 UTC was their idea)18:47
Keybukjdong: it's pretty safe to just kill udevd and run udevd --daemon again18:47
Keybukif you plug a USB device in at *that exact moment* it won't work, OBVIOUSLY :p18:48
keesKeybuk: I put notes in the USN to reboot.  That's not uncommon.18:48

Aleksey_Sunfortunately, there isn't simple answer on this sort of questions19:06
geofftashmew2, find things you're interested in making better for yourself personally19:06
ashmew2hmm..ok..so i start by learning one language from scratch , like hello world19:06
geofftand learn whatever language that code is in. That's the most effective way19:06
liwashmew2, Ubuntu consists of tens of thousands of programs, written in hundreds of languages19:06
Aleksey_Syes.19:07
ashmew2If i am an absolute beginner at programming ,will C++ be a good start ?19:07
liwashmew2, Python is probably the easiest to learn; C, C++ and perl are also very common19:07
geofftThe best way to be a better coder is to read and understand and hack existing code.19:07
Aleksey_Sif you want to be experienced programmer don't start with python etc19:07
Aleksey_Sinterpreted languages, i mean19:07
ashmew2Start with C++ then ?19:07
ashmew2yeah i get that19:07
Aleksey_Syes19:07
Aleksey_Sthen java python etc, will be very simple to learn for you19:08
ashmew2So..you learn gradually from tutorials on the internet how to develop applications ? I mean you start from Hello World..19:08
liwI think it's perfectly fine to start with Python or other interpreted languages even if you want to become an experienced programmer (he says, having been a programmer for 25 years now, and started with an interpreted language )19:08

keescjwatson: I want to answer the question "what source packages have binary packages in the seed supported-server?"  Due to moving of binaries "up" when germinate runs, is there no output that can answer that question short of walking the STRUCTURE file myself and expanding each seed?21:44
ubuntumananybody here involved in the arm port who can explain to me why the orion5x support has been dropped?21:50

keesbryce, kirkland, soren: do any of you know what the magic is that causes my mouse to track in a guest X session in virt-viewer _without_ having had to click into the viewer?  This works for me on hardy, but not jaunty.22:25
kirklandkees: i'd guess that this is a vnc option22:26
keeskirkland: but it works in my hardy guests...22:26
kirklandkees: oh, hmmf22:27
tjaaltonkees: hardy probably uses -input-vmware22:37
keestjaalton: ah-ha.  is that still available in later releases?  (and if so, how do I enable it?)22:38
tjaaltonsorry, -vmmouse22:38
tjaaltonit is, but you'd need to disable evdev22:38
tjaaltonon the guest22:38
keescjwatson: nm, nijaba says you're busy.  :)22:39
keestjaalton: isn't that a not-good thing to do?22:40
tjaaltoncopy the hardy xorg.conf and then add 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"' to ServerFlags22:40
tjaaltonkees: probably isn't that worrying on a virtual guest22:41
keesokay22:41
tjaalton-vmmouse could ship an fdi file to override evdev22:42
tjaaltonoh, it does22:42
tjaaltonso check that it's used, 'lshal' and look for the mouse22:43
tjaaltonand the value of input.x11_driver22:44
* kees switches to #u-x22:44
jdongtjaalton: wow creepy I just posted about that on the forums.23:02
jdonghttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7079221#post707922123:03
jdongthe vmware planets have aligned.23:03
tjaaltonjdong: heh, ok then.. the fdi file should just be fixed23:06
jdong  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)23:07
jdongwhat info is helpful for fixing it?23:07
tjaaltonso filing a bug against -vmmouse with ubuntu-bug from a VM should gather enough information to fix it23:08
tjaaltonrunning ubuntu-bug should include everything23:09
tjaaltonbut at least the lshal output from the VM is needed23:09
tjaaltonhal-probe-vmmouse doesn't seem to do it's business23:10
jdongyeah that seems to be the issue23:10
jdonghaha ubuntu-bug OOM.23:12
jdongobviously I trimmed back this VM a bit too much.23:12
jdongdo you feel the lshal alone is sufficient info?23:12
tjaaltonshould be enough23:13
tjaaltondo you have mdetect installed?23:13
jdongno; should I?23:14
tjaaltonbecause hal-probe-vmmouse uses vmmouse_detect from mdetect23:14
tjaaltonno wonder it doesn't work23:14
jdongwow.23:14
jdongyou're kidding :D23:14
tjaaltontry installing it23:14
tjaaltonthe newer upstream version of -vmmouse includes it23:15
tjaalton..which seems to be four months old, oops23:16
jdongtjaalton: works23:17
jdongdo you think we can get this through freeze?23:17
tjaaltonfile a bug and we'll see :)23:17

keeskirkland: okay, usplash inits the screen and then quits immediately (without drawing anything) on my jaunty VM...23:31
kirklandkees: what's your kvm command line?23:31
kees/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name 64bit-Ubuntu-9.04-desktop -uuid ea8cfb3a-cd8f-d588-14bd-a809b2ce6ac1 -monitor pty -pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu//64bit-Ubuntu-9.04-desktop.pid -boot c -drive file=/vmware/64bit-Ubuntu-9.04-desktop.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=00:0c:29:5f:50:a9,vlan=0,model=virtio -net tap,fd=21,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet2 -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:223:32
kirklandkees: let me try with those options23:32
keeskirkland: actually, this might be simpler than that....23:33
keeskirkland: ran it on the cmd line, got "no usable theme found for 1024x768"23:33
kirklandkees: oh, hmm, yeah, that would do it23:33
=== asac_ is now known as asac
kirklandkees: we should add higher res themes to usplash-themes23:33
keeskirkland: gimme a second to investigate... I think I hadn't been noticing it due to the X crasher.  I assumed it was all related23:34
keeshrm, no luck.23:34
keeskirkland: all my own fault.  I think i've got it sorted23:37
kirklandkees: yeah, i was able to launch my vm with your command (mostly)23:38
kirklandkees: what was your problem?23:38
keeskirkland: I'd written a custom usplash package and didn't correctly unregister its alternative when removed.23:39
kirklandkees: :-)23:39
jdonghahaha :)23:40
