[02:16] wasn't even a very creative troll [02:17] beat me to it [02:17] * Hobbsee ^5 cjwatson [02:17] is today official troll day? [02:17] seems so [02:17] He could of at least claimed we were insecure or something. [02:18] well, now he's claiming that i can't see him, so... [02:19] * TheMuso wonders whether DrCheese created #windows, however I can't seem to see the topic or names without going in there. [02:19] why does that IP look familiar. [02:19] TheMuso: highly unlikely. People who create large channels are usually too busy to petty troll. [02:19] @btlogin [02:20] Hobbsee: It's not a large channel, he's in ##windows, not #windows. [02:20] Hobbsee: Although, even that's moderately large, actually. [02:21] infinity: ah, i didn't do a whois to check. [02:21] Hobbsee: part of the big MA Comcast DHCP pool; identifying him is probably hopeless. [02:21] jdong: ah yes, you should recognise that IP. check the BT. [02:22] Hobbsee: I don't have access to it, do I? [02:22] ah I see it. [02:22] yeah I should've recognized that indeed. [02:22] ? [02:22] frequent customer. [02:22] Heh.

Here's a cross-channel hammer [02:23] Comcast generally gives you the same IP for each lease renewal, so unless he knows how to ask for a new one, it should ~work. === calc_ is now known as calc [05:46] has anybody found that the ATI Mobilitiy cards (X2300) doesn't detect in restricted drivers in jaunty [05:46] i seem to not be able to get ubuntu to use the restricted driver manager for teh ati x2300 [05:50] clear [06:19] good morning [06:34] dholbach: wow you're up early [06:35] hiya Amaranth - it's 7:34 - and I was out running already! :-) [06:35] ah, right, dang daylight savings [06:44] bryce_: wiki edited [06:52] siretart: great === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [07:19] slangasek, i've got a resolution for bug 355242 that involves only a 2 line diff [07:19] Launchpad bug 355242 in mesa "mythfrontend.real crashed with SIGSEGV in QGLWidget::resizeEvent()" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/355242 [07:20] mythbuntu rc disks will need a re-roll with it === ScriptRipper_ is now known as ScriptRipper === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn [07:46] superm1: it's a patch to mesa? That implies invalidating all the ISOs [07:47] slangasek, perhaps can you just reroll mythbuntu after the others have been verified then? [07:49] we 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 benefit [08:04] slangasek: there's also a candidate for the wacom crashes, but it's still untested so not meant for RC [08:04] ok [08:06] Good morning [08:07] * slangasek waves [08:08] * siretart bounces happily through the channel - finally working intel driver.. :-) [08:09] siretart: oh, what did you change? [08:09] pitti: see my latest post to ubuntu-devel. I've reverted to the 2.4 branch [08:09] siretart: interesting; that still works with current X then? [08:10] pitti: you need to compile it against jaunty's X and libdrm, which works with some patching.. :-) [08:10] working packages can be found in my ppa [08:11] well, at least WFM [08:15] cody-somerville: hi, do you have plans to fetch xubuntu-docs translations from rosetta and upload a new xubuntu-docs with those included? [08:16] Is there a non-historical reason for USNs to list Xubuntu but not other unofficial flavours as affected? [08:40] Has anyone else recently seen dbus-daemon go crazy, consume a core, and all available memory (it's up to 1.6GiB, and still rising)? [08:41] RAOF: something sending it a lot of timing out messages? [08:41] dbus-monitor is your friend [08:42] Hello, tracker! [08:42] Hm. Apparently tracker would like to tell me that my index is corrupted. [08:43] does tracker work for anyone else? it's never done anything useful for me :( [08:45] liw: using all your cpu is useful [08:45] we don't even install it by default now [08:45] liw: it tests your cpu [08:45] and I'm pretty sure it's removed by update-manager on upgrade [08:46] ta dholbach [08:46] Keybuk: I can confirm that update-manager didn't remove it on my amd64 desktop last week when I upgraded from intrepid->jaunty [08:46] I can ensure that it gets removed if thats what we want [08:47] +1 [08:47] (sorry, I have not followed the state of tracker) [08:48] mvo: we decided again doing that in a systematic way because some users are using it [08:48] Keybuk, it didn't get removed from my laptop, actually [08:48] ok [08:48] Keybuk: Thanks; looks like the bug is tracker spamming "OMGINDEXCORRUPTED" messages into the void. [08:49] I'd love to have something like tracker, if it didn't hog my computer and actually found things when I search [08:49] tracker will probably be better next cycle [08:49] good to hear [08:49] the jaunty version is basically a rewrite, it still has some issue but gets lot of work [08:50] RAOF_: where does it spam to? [08:50] nokia is paying to get it working fine on their device apparently [08:51] seb128: is there going to be a rewrite to use fsnotify instead of inotify? [08:52] fsnotify? [08:53] ah, some new kind of implementation, good [08:53] liw: lwn.net/Articles/311350 [08:54] Keybuk: 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 time [08:54] Keybuk: ie your mailed can send datas to tracker when receiving emails rather than relying on inotify to go through the disk emails [08:55] mailed -> mailer [08:55] seb128: Do we actually have the evolution side of that system in jaunty? [08:55] no ;-) [08:55] the new version is still new, I expect it to work better [08:55] I would not bother too much with the jaunty version [08:55] there is frequent db corruptions and still issues [08:55] ah [08:56] wgrant, Xubuntu *is* an official flavour :) [08:56] Mirv, I'd like to, yes. [08:56] evolution db corruptions? never :) [08:56] one of the neat features of fsnotify/fanotify is that a watching application gets a file descriptor to the data just written/read [08:56] so you don't need to stat(), open(), etc. massively saving on overhead [08:57] liw: no, tracker db corruptions ;-) [08:57] cody-somerville: It's no more official ('supported', I suppose the correct term is) than Mythbuntu or UbuntuStudio, is it? [08:57] Keybuk, can fsnotify do things like "show me everything that ever changes in this filesystem" or "...inside this directory tree"? [08:57] liw: btw have you seen this bug about computer-janitor using update-manager as translation domain? [08:58] liw: in theory, yes [08:58] seb128, I have; I haven't investigated yet, I'll have to discuss the gettext domain issue with mvo [08:58] wgrant: 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] liw: fanotify is by-filesystem rather than by-file/directory [08:59] ok [08:59] Keybuk, übercool! [08:59] Mirv: True. But my point is that it's odd to single out Xubuntu. [08:59] I'm going to have to add support for that in my backup program [08:59] wgrant: yes, regarding your actual point, it's probably just historical, there have been other such cases as well [08:59] liw: inside-this-directory-tree is harder, in that you'd have to read the filename and strncmp or something ;) === azeem_ is now known as azeem === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke [09:00] Keybuk, 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 change [09:01] liw: I can't imagine that it wouldn't be faster ;) [09:01] though the overhead for a smaller directory of processing and discarding unwanted events could be high, I guess [09:01] wgrant, I'm not sure what their status is [09:01] Keybuk, depends on size of tree and number of changes, but I'm too stupid to know which is faster without benchmarking [09:08] lool: you'll upload the fix for bug 339466 to the queue?

[11:16] ScottK: for my laptop, yes, I'm happy with the 2.4 branch on my laptop [11:17] siretart: Weren't you also testing the latest 2.6? [11:18] ScottK: jaunty ships some later revision of the 2.6 branch. I've tried the 2.6 HEAD, 2.7 HEAD and 2.4 HEAD [11:18] ScottK: I got the best results from the 2.4.1 package with bryce's patches as found in intrepid [11:19] ScottK: having said this, I'd suggest to include my package in universe for people like me. [11:19] I see. Some Gentoo guy was recently telling me that his had recently gotten better with the bleeding edge stuff. [11:19] siretart: 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? [11:20] yes, 2.7 is a big improvment on my laptop compared to 2.6. but still hasn't acceptable performance [11:20] siretart: where do you notice those slowness issues? [11:20] ScottK: I'm willing to integrate updates from intrepid-updates to the package, yes. [11:20] ScottK: I'm not familiar with the code to actually start hacking on [11:21] seb128: compiz and planet-pengiun-racer are not usable at all. [11:21] siretart: OK. The only issue then would be any -security issues that come up after Intrepid eol [11:21] what in compiz? [11:21] normal actions, ie alt-tab switch [11:22] seb128: resizing windows, the expose effect, alt-tab switch, etc. [11:22] hum ok [11:22] I guess it's not that slow on my card [11:22] seb128: alt-tab switch was unnaceptable in metacity with compositing as well [11:22] I was just wondering if people were using extra features which showed the issue [11:23] siretart: Did you try Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"? While it's still not up to Intrepid, I find it usable. [11:24] 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 all [11:24] siretart: True. [11:24] ScottK: no, I haven't tried that option [11:25] siretart: 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] For me it's like uxa without crashes. [11:25] is that option for the 2.4 branch or 2.6 branch? [11:25] Either as I understand it. [11:26] hm [11:26] siretart: Bug #359600 has some information [11:26] Launchpad bug 359600 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "Solved slow 2D performances with EXA" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/359600 [11:26] I've been testing the 2.6 and 2.7 branches both with UXA [11:26] We had it for default for a while in Intrepid, but didn't keep it, so it must be for both. [11:27] 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 2.7 [11:27] I see. It made a huge difference for me with exa. [11:27] siretart: For a new package you'll need two motu-release acks. You have mine to get you started. [11:29] ScottK: okay. who else from motu-release is around here? :-) [11:29] ScottK: 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 crashes [11:30] the only issue I've found with greedy migration here is pixmap lossage [11:30] (firefox in particular likes to go black in patches) [11:31] slangasek: I have also noticed some black areas with greedy (but not to the level that I would go back to non-greedy ;-)) [11:39] to which package should I reassign a bug in the nvidia binary driver? [11:41] which version? [11:44] pochu: nvidia-graphics-drivers-$VERSION (where VERSION is 180, 173 or 71) [11:49] tseliot, there are only three nvidia-graphics-drivers now? [11:50] directhex: I forgot 96 [11:50] that's better ;) [11:51] tseliot, so, anything worth having in the 185 betas, that you know of? [11:52] tseliot: ty [11:52] np [11:53] Keybuk: nice, the current c't (famous German computer magazine) has a 3-page article about upstart [11:53] directhex: mainly fixes for VDPAU and support for new cards: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1976912 [11:55] tseliot, neat [11:56] directhex: only for Karmic and/or backports to Jaunty though [11:56] tseliot, my main issue currently is trying to get actual audio out the hdmi port on an nvidia 9300 motherboard. it appears non-trivial [11:56] directhex: isn't that something that alsa/pulseaudio should deal with? [11:57] * tseliot > lunch [11:57] tseliot, oh, yeah, sure. but i can't get a bloody thing via speaker-test. and it's hell trying to get sound out of assorted command-line alsa utils which all use totally different device naming syntax [12:00] pitti: got a url/translation?

[12:33] dholbach: I consider those messages debug messages more than anything. [12:33] soren: ok, I'll re-test and see what happens [12:34] dholbach: The guest kernel sometimes pokes at various MSR's to see if there's something there, and that gets logged by the host kernel. Most of the time, it's benign. [12:34] Most of the time. [12:35] ScottK, Riddell: does the Kubuntu KDE4 remix warning on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes still apply in the case of upgrades to 9.04? [12:42] hmm, so 24h later i see my system starting to eat my swapspace again ... it went from 0M to 264M within the last 30min, without me doing anything special or additional to what i did 1h before [12:43] (i have htop running constantly since i ran out of swap yesterday ) [12:43] heh, and between me starting to type the above and now it went to 379M swap usage [12:45] * ogra closes evo and firefox [12:45] (only xchat and two terminals are open now, system is at 429M swap usage) [12:48] ogra: how's the armel candidate ISO looking, BTW? [12:48] livesession is fine, install is at 57% [12:48] no unknown bugs seen yet [12:49] sabdfl, good push for the new TZ map, it looks a lot better now [12:49] slangasek: I think that can go [12:49] ogra: thanks to kwwii and evand's work, i agree [12:50] evand: know anything about this? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com:80/151367/ when running OEM mode [12:51] Riddell: not until now. [12:51] * evand digs [12:51] thanks sabdfl [12:54] evand: davmor2 says that didn't happen yesterday [12:54] has anything changed since then? [12:55] it happened in 1.12.5 [12:55] fix incoming [12:56] evand: does this affect kubuntu only? or ubuntu desktop too? [12:56] kubuntu only [12:56] Riddell: I just done ubuntu oems [12:57] Riddell: it can go because 8.04->9.04 is only a supported path for kde, not kde4 remix? [12:57] slangasek: right [12:57] ok [12:57] slangasek: OEM broken on Kubuntu desktop CDs ^^ [12:58] waah [12:59] evand: also reboot didn't seem to be working at the end of a Kubuntu install [12:59] Riddell: where did it break? Did pressing the button not do anything, or did the computer fail to restart after shutting down? [13:00] evand: ubiquity quit, desktop sits there being itself [13:01] hrm, ok. I'll pull down the latest Kubuntu daily-live and see if I can reproduce it. [13:01] sorry about the OEM breakage, apparently my fault way back in 1.12.0 [13:01] I have the Kubuntu image here, I can have a look ... [13:01] ah great [13:01] should I go ahead and upload this change and we'll deal with the reboot issue as another upload? [13:02] my instinct is to batch it up for post-RC, since we have some other changes for then anyway [13:02] Riddell,slangasek: what do you think? [13:02] slangasek: get it in now before there are many tests on it :) [13:02] I'm tempted to upload the OEM fix and respin that for RC [13:02] I'd kind of like to fix the colours on the Kubuntu partition bars too [13:02] cjwatson: I though that got fixed [13:03] not to my knowledge [13:03] I don't like shipping the RC with broken OEM mode, but doing a respin now cuts into our testing time and our image prepublishing time [13:03] Riddell: is #133d80 a plausible Kubuntu-blue colour to use for the partition bars? [13:03] kwwii's area really ^^ [13:05] erm, where? [13:05] slangasek: there aren't that many test on kubuntu are there [13:06] cjwatson: that is a pretty kubuntu-ish color, but it might be too dark bepending on where/how it is used [13:07] davmor2: rerolling kubuntu includes rerolling DVDs, which takes > 1.5h just for the livefs rebuild [13:08] slangasek: toss a coin :) [13:08] Riddell: is it acceptable to you to ship the RC without a usable OEM mode? [13:08] yes, it's not the end of the world [13:09] ok, then that's my preference [13:09] I'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 up [13:09] we can make images available immediately post-RC for testing, then? [13:09] we can indeed [13:10] and we have alternate OEM to test [13:12] kwwii: bug 348461, though I don't have a screenshot to hand unfortunately [13:12] Launchpad bug 348461 in ubiquity "Jaunty: Kubuntu shouldn't use grey for the installed system bar in ubiquity" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/348461 [13:12] evand: bug 361668 [13:12] Launchpad bug 361668 in ubiquity "kubuntu OEM mode broken" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/361668 [13:12] I can explicitly test Kubuntu OEM immediately post-RC, since we need to update the oem-config timezone map anyway [13:13] or, indeed, I can test it now with evand's fix [13:14] cjwatson: ouch, without seeing the problem it is pretty hard for me to just suggest a color :( [13:15] let me see if I can produce a screenshot [13:15] cjwatson: the blue you suggested fits well with kubuntu colors so testing it can't hurt [13:15] I could download a CD and test it myself but that would take a bit [13:16] nggh, partition bars are still invisible in Kubuntu? [13:17] I have to take my son to the dentist, bbiab...I'll read the log when i return [13:18] doko: do you think we can fix bug 353704?

[13:20] argh [13:21] davmor2: yes [13:21] slangasek, gdm sudeenly crashes on babbage/imx51 [13:21] slangasek: Cool :) Cause I just finishe ubuntu desktop :) [13:21] install went flawless [13:22] * ogra checks what seb128_ changed between beta and now in gdm :/ [13:22] no === seb128_ is now known as seb128 [13:22] looks like Robert's the one who changed it [13:22] no ? [13:22] what changed? [13:22] ah [13:22] though it could be a library regression, rather than the gdm change [13:23] seb128, i get the "greeter is crashing, trying with another greeter" message in gdm suddenly [13:23] slangasek: the change he did was a one line boolean logic for the hours format combo [13:23] yeah, that doesnt really look like it could cause anything [13:23] ogra: that means the greater is crashing, could be any library gdm is using or xorg [13:24] that patch doesn't touch the greeter, so probably not [13:24] do you get apport triggering? anything in the logs about a crash? [13:24] noting in Xorg.0.log ... inspecting the rest atm [13:24] i see 7usr/bin/gdm in the processlist [13:26] slangasek, 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] nothing in /var/crash [13:26] pitti: it's the wrong place for it; bugs that aren't fixed for final should be documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [13:27] pitti: I can take care of porting that over, though [13:27] slangasek: ah, I'll move it over [13:27] slangasek: I guess it doesn't hurt to also keep it on TechOverview, for the RC? [13:28] if 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 notes [13:29] slangasek: your lock on ReleaseNotes timed out, are you still working on it? [13:29] pitti: no [13:31] I am suspicious that this gdm issue might be cause by the gtk+2.0 issue [13:31] we'll confirm soon [13:31] slangasek, bryce: okay, put on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes now [13:31] thanks [13:32] lool: right, I wondered... [13:33] what irritates me here is that i indeed get a gtk window telling me the greeter cant start [13:34] soren: can you join #ubuntu-testing? [13:34] lool, slangasek same thing with new gtk [13:35] ogra: Could you try moving away your /usr/lib/vfp? [13:35] soren: I'm having the same issue again (amd64 jaunty host, jaunty guest): freeze during the installation - how best to debug it? [13:35] ogra: sudo mv /usr/lib/vfp /usr/lib/vfp.bak [13:37] same thing [13:38] ogra: Does dbus run? [13:38] On my install it doesn't [13:39] yes [13:39] Can't start Hardware abstraction layer - please ensure dbus is running [13:39] if you log in, can you run gdmthemetester? [13:39] * ogra tries startx [13:39] or gdmflexiserver [13:39] one sec, just installing sshd [13:40] btw, i cant stop gdm with the initscript [13:41] kirkland: hiya - can you join #ubuntu-testing so we can chat a bit about kvm on amd64 jaunty? I'm having hangs during test installations [13:42] dholbach: during language pack en ? [13:42] hmm, startx does nothing now [13:43] ah, its just slow [13:43] ~/.xsession-errors has nothing special [13:43] no panel though [13:44] your install seems to be busted [13:44] my live session runs flawless [13:45] and my install i did from beta was upgraded yesterday [13:45] and worked flawless as well [13:46] so what is not working? [13:47] my desktop doesnt come up with startx [13:47] gdm pops up the "greeter is dying, trying another one" msg [13:48] hmm, and avahi doesnt seem to work, i cant ssh into the .local address ... [13:48] you say it waorsk flawless and that it crashes and doesn't run at normal speed [13:48] I'm confused now [13:48] i just did an install from a fully working livesession [13:48] after reboot i hang at the greeter message [13:49] killing gdm and running startx only gets me a wallpaper [13:49] the testinstall i did with the beta image was upgraded yesterday and didnt show any issues [13:50] ok, so maybe that new install is busted in some way [13:50] i see nothing in the gdm or xorg logs [13:51] the .xsession-errors file looks fine as well [13:51] that's not gdm specific apparently if you get only the desktop and no normal session [13:51] yes [13:51] is your lo interface working correctly? [13:51] ping localhost [13:51] slangasek: hi, could you please accept my new telepathy-mission-control upload? (I've rerun libtoolize to fix FTBFS) [13:51] ping 127.0.0.1 [13:51] works fine [13:51] ok so that's not that [13:52] nope [13:52] bigon: a bit occupied at the moment [13:52] if you run a non GNOME session and try running nautilus or something there, what happens? [13:52] whats that, startx --xterm ? [13:53] * ogra totally forgot how to do that manually [13:54] ah, well ... i'll create an .xsession file [13:54] aha, running nautilus from the xterm segfaults [13:54] * ogra tries gnome-session [13:55] hmm [13:56] can you get a nautilus stacktrace? [13:56] x-session-manager[7681]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-wm.desktop' failed to register before timeout [13:56] x-session-manager[7681]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-panel.desktop' failed to register before timeout [13:56] doe that look ok ? ^^^ [13:58] those are only warnings but that's nor normal [13:58] can you get the nautilus stracktrace? [13:58] slangasek: The release not on does not boot with Intel D945 is still relevant, but needs rewording as the problem is much more widespread than we knew at Intrepid release time. It needs to be generalized, but I'm not at all certain how to word it. [13:58] will try to [13:58] not/note [13:58] i dont get a metacity either though [13:59] ScottK: right, I remembered that was why the release-notes bug was open; I don't know how to word it, either [14:00] slangasek: My recommendation would be: "It's a kernel bug, give it to the kernel team to figure out how to word it". [14:00] After all, an action passed is an action completed. ;-) [14:00] heh [14:00] slangasek, ScottK: is universe frozen as well? I'm currently sponsoring bug 340085 (fatal issue), and I'd like to shepherd it through the queue [14:00] Launchpad bug 340085 in pymol "Pymol Doesn't Initialize after Upgrading to Python 2.6" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/340085 [14:01] pitti: motu-release is reviewing stuff.

[14:02] ScottK: yes [14:02] ScottK (or other motu-release types) - if I ask for an FFE to sync openafs 1.4.10 from Debian (bug #356861), am I likely to get it?

[14:04] ebroder: Assuming the title of the bug is accurate, yes. [14:04] ScottK: motu-release sub'ed [14:04] ScottK - Version 1.4.9 was released to fix the security vulnerabilities. We're asking for 1.4.10 because it has other bugfixes in addition to the security patch [14:05] ebroder: Is it just bugfix and have you tested it? [14:06] ScottK: I haven't tested it personally; I believe Anders has. I can check with him [14:06] ScottK: according to your blog, the patch is in xorg-server. I'm touching the intel driver only, not the xserver [14:06] siretart: Right. Nevermind then. I got confused. [14:06] Sorry for the distraction. [14:07] ScottK: I can do testing before asking for the FFE; I just wanted some sense of if it was likely to be granted before I put the work in [14:08] ebroder: My sense it that if you move quickly a favorable response is likely. [14:08] it/is [14:08] ScottK: Ok. I'll do that then. Thanks [14:08] ScottK: aah, but thanks for the pointer. I've encountered it in intrepid when unlocking gnome-screensaver as well, but couldn't really describe the issue. [14:08] pitti: He's a motu, so I've ack'ed it and he can upload it. Thanks for pointing it out. [14:08] now things are more clear [14:09] The good news it the patch it dropped in Jaunty, so case closed. [14:09] lool, you bumped the version numbers in the arm p3a ? === Sikon is now known as LucidFox [14:09] * ogra tries to get back to the original gtk libs before giving seb128 qa stacktrace [14:12] * ogra doesnt get why the livesession works fine [14:15] ogra: i should have [14:15] ogra: But if you moved /usr/lib/vfp away it doesn't make any difference [14:15] hmm [14:15] still, why does the livesession run flawless ? [14:15] ScottK: oh, great [14:17] lool, its also weird that avahi doesnt seem to function even though i see it in the processlist [14:17] ogra: You mean on your network? [14:17] yes [14:18] ogra: I think it relies on multicast, and I don't trust that too much with our current network drivers [14:18] ssh babbage.local doesnt work [14:18] it worked before [14:18] i *only* use it [14:18] and never had any probs [14:18] in this install i can only ssh in by IP [14:20] seb128, here is an strace output for you ... http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/nautilus-stacktrace.txt [14:20] ogra: I meant gdb backtrace [14:20] yes, i know [14:20] coming next [14:23] kwwii: http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/kde-partitioner.png [14:27] cjwatson: that is easy, let me pick the color from the current kde4 theme [14:28] seb128, http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/gdb-nautilus.txt not really nuch [14:29] #0 0x40bed6e8 in memcpy () from /lib/vfp/libc.so.6 [14:29] #1 0x40f9c1c8 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 [14:29] ogra: seems to be a libpng issue [14:29] lool: ^ [14:29] ogra: you might want to install the corresponding -dbg and get a valgrind log [14:29] cjwatson: #509de8 [14:30] ogra: Could you move /lib/vfp out of the way to be sure? [14:30] it is moved [14:30] Riddell: I took that from the Oxygen theme, it should fit fine, or? [14:30] ogra: /lib, not /usr/lib [14:30] cjwatson: ping [14:30] rgreening: yes? [14:30] ogra: Cause the backtrace shows /lib/vfp above and I want to exclude it [14:30] oh, ok [14:30] kwwii: ok, thanks [14:31] cjwatson: it appears that during the alt install (using daily cd) that the lpia image fails to detect dhcp during install [14:31] rgreening: can I see logs please? [14:31] cjwatson: I added that to the bug as well, for clarity [14:31] cjwatson: any suggestions? [14:31] rgreening: go back to the installer main menu and select "save debug logs"; you'll be able to extract it to a USB stick [14:31] cjwatson: ah. ok., [14:32] lool, ergh ... moving /lib/vfp now tells me "nautilus command not found" [14:32] syslog is the one I need [14:32] ogra: run ldconfig as root, ubt I don't see why it would matter [14:32] ogra: Perhaps you have some I/O issues [14:32] lool, using the full path gets me the segfault again though [14:32] i indeed did run ldconfig first [14:33] install the libpng dbg and get a valgrind log? [14:33] It shouldn't matter too much, it's just a cache [14:33] cjwatson: ok, I don't have my lpia system here.. I have to run home to get. But I have another user with same issue... jussi01. [14:33] why the heck does it run in the livesession [14:33] with identical libs and apps [14:33] jussi01: are you able to help get the logs from the lpia during install? [14:33] my guess is a missing network module [14:34] ogra: your install might be corrupted somewhere, disk issue, ram issue, install glitch [14:34] cjwatson: ok, I may have to run home... so I can check back in an hour or so if thats the case. [14:34] well, it worked flawless, no errors [14:34] * ogra checks installer logs [14:36] nothing there ... [14:36] ogra: So without /lib/vfp and /usr/lib/vfp it still segfaults? [14:36] yes [14:36] * lool is relieved that it's not late breakage by these changes [14:36] i wonder if it has to do with langpacks [14:36] German? [14:37] I doubt of it [14:37] its the actual only difference between a live session and the installed one i can think of [14:37] why would the locale trigger a crash in libpng? [14:37] the avahi think is also very very strange [14:37] *thing [14:37] I would rather think local corruption [14:38] ok, i'll try a reinstall to a clean device ... its 1h max that i lose by it [14:39] i would expect some error in the installer logs with corruption though [14:40] the last libpng upload i see on -changes predates beta [14:42] md5 of the image is correct ... [14:42] did you get a valgrind log? [14:43] no [14:43] but i have both SD cards still here [14:44] just want to make sure its not a worn out SD or something [14:44] logging out in the live session properly gets me to a gdm screen btw [14:45] * ogra runs the installer and leaves it in english [14:45] ogra: I just ran nautilus in a ssh -X session on my babbage, just fine [14:45] Using gtk+2.0 2.16.1-0ubuntu2 though [14:46] lool, an installed one from today = [14:46] ? [14:46] ogra: No, an up-to-date dev environment [14:46] my upgraded system didnt show any issues [14:46] its only this install [14:46] Ok; I need to try an install then [14:46] the fun thing is that i just overwrote the upgraded system [14:47] which makes seb128's theory of a corruption a weird idea [14:47] since the target device is known to work reliable [14:47] ok, so get a valgrind log ... [14:47] let me finish the install first [14:47] stop talking until then ;-) [14:47] heh [14:53] doko, you dont know which exact image you tested on your babbage, do you ? [15:02] bah. just for pitti, i'll go hunting in intrepid-proposed [15:07] ogra: it was the daily, the day I tested [15:07] and sent the email [15:07] is it known/intended that the Examples icon changed on the desktop CD?

[17:36] jpds: not the way I'm using it [17:48] * calc is somewhat surprised bo is arguing that ia64 is supposed to be installed into /usr/lib64 also as LSB essentially contradicts that without actually coming out and saying it (afaict) [18:03] bryce: is bug 358574 a duplicate of bug 359392?

[18:17] there 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 though [18:17] liw, that would take a long time to build. i'd use the info from the wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile) instead [18:17] liw, it's got advice on how to just build one of the x86 kernels rather than the 4 or so that it normally would [18:18] calc, i think magicking 100 meg for openjdk is already a major challenge [18:18] superm1, thanks; I'd be happy to wait for it to compile, as long as the result is correct, though [18:18] calc, my current chain of thought is only offering to free up ~4 meg [18:19] liw, well you will have just as accurate a result, just far quicker if you follow the directions on that page [18:19] calc, this chain of thought may also result in lynchings [18:24] mdz, sounds like it [18:25] mdz, although I'd not seen that particular error message before..

[18:30] directhex: ok [18:30] calc, however, i suspect some areas of the internest would start a riot if this were to take place [18:34] bddebian: meh [18:35] what does it want? besides firey death? [18:35] kees: what level of local access is necessary to compromise udev as per USN-758? [18:35] directhex: has there been any talk lately about using lzma on squashfs? [18:36] Mirv, i don't know. would that be good? [18:36] lamont: That's fine with me to, I just want libglib1.2 gone. :) [18:37] Mirv: i believe cjwatson thinks that is a bad idea [18:37] Of course debdelta and pristine-tar are still r(b)deps afaik [18:37] Mirv: would both increase memory requirements and slow it down more afaik [18:37] directhex: not as good as with packages, but sladen (or someone) estimated 15% gain could be done [18:38] calc: I know [18:38] Mirv, 15% of 700 meg is almost java [18:38] jdong: any local user. [18:38] ooi, has anyone looked into lzma-compressed .debs ? [18:38] directhex: I know :) it could be something to play with, even if it would be too slow / memory-hog on low-end computers. it's soon time for play-time anyway. [18:39] kees: lovely :) whee [18:39] maxb: they are in use already selectively, for example openoffice [18:39] maxb: i implemented it back in 7.10 [18:39] jdong: i.e. the ability to run a C program [18:39] kees: is there a PoC anywhere? [18:39] maxb: er 8.04 actually [18:39] kees: I presume most udev-using distros are vulnerable? [18:39] maxb, depends on whether you want debian compatibility [18:39] jdong: I am unaware of a public exploit, but it probably won't take long to be developed [18:39] I mean, how much CD space would be saved by using them across the board. [18:40] maxb: maybe 150MB more than current maybe, but it would increase unpack requirements by 30MB for all packages [18:40] jdong: yes, any distro running udev is vulnerable. I'm not aware of any work-arounds either. it's a pretty serious issue. [18:40] er 30MB memory [18:40] bddebian: 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 :-D [18:40] kees: yeah if that's understatement of the day. Ouch. [18:40] jdong: note that it requires a reboot as well. [18:40] maxb: see wiki.ubuntu.com/dpkg-lzma [18:40] kees: noted [18:40] kees: Restarting udev isn't good enough? [18:41] I missed that in the notice. Bleh [18:41] ebroder: you can stop/start it, but you'll likely lose ptys, etc. i.e. ssh broke for me when I tried a stop/start [18:41] ebroder: is it yet another fun day for linerva? :) [18:41] lamont: Well I meant for Debian :) [18:41] jdong: It very well might be [18:41] ah, ok [18:42] maxb: 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] jdong: And we were just finally starting to build up some uptime! [18:42] ebroder: haha, always something to ruin it :) [18:42] *attempts a udev stop-and-start on a test box* [18:43] maxb: so on live cd it doesn't matter even if all packages used lzma [18:43] and someone correct me if I'm wrong etc :) [18:43] jdong: don't do that [18:43] Keybuk: hehe alright then, jdong will reboot instead :) [18:44] I was going to say "there are some loose packages on the livecd", but only 32 and they come to <10MB [18:44] jdong: you can use /etc/init.d/udev restart [18:44] but then the upgrade should do that for you [18:45] Keybuk: so does applying the update without restarting effect the security update? [18:45] you must restart the running udevd [18:45] it us udevd that is exploitable [18:46] kees: interesting point, jaunty will restart the running udevd - but pre-jaunty won't [18:46] kees: Are you in touch with the Debian security team yet? Do you know if we should expect an update today? This week? [18:47] ebroder: 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] jdong: it's pretty safe to just kill udevd and run udevd --daemon again [18:48] if you plug a USB device in at *that exact moment* it won't work, OBVIOUSLY :p [18:48] Keybuk: I put notes in the USN to reboot. That's not uncommon. [18:49] Keybuk: ah, thanks :) [18:49] hm. on a server where you don't expect new hardware after boot, can you just kill udevd? [18:49] geofft: probably not recommended [18:49] various things stop working [18:49] (if you don't restart it again) [18:51] hi all [18:51] guys, is here someone experienced in audio? [18:53] especeally, i am interested in bug 354522 [18:53] Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/354522/+text) [18:58] hi [18:58] i need to ask something [18:58] where do i start as a ubuntu deve ? [18:58] developer* [18:58] i dont know where to begin , which language to learn. [18:58] What to do [18:59] ashmew2, have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment ? [19:00] I am not member of ubuntu-devel team, just user of ubuntu. but as programmer i can say, that no mean what language do you know === Lure_ is now known as Lure [19:05] liw: I tried that site [19:05] Aleksey_s: Which language is most suitable ? [19:05] C or python or C++ === rbelem is now known as rbelem-lunch [19:06] unfortunately, there isn't simple answer on this sort of questions [19:06] ashmew2, find things you're interested in making better for yourself personally [19:06] hmm..ok..so i start by learning one language from scratch , like hello world [19:06] and learn whatever language that code is in. That's the most effective way [19:06] ashmew2, Ubuntu consists of tens of thousands of programs, written in hundreds of languages [19:07] yes. [19:07] If i am an absolute beginner at programming ,will C++ be a good start ? [19:07] ashmew2, Python is probably the easiest to learn; C, C++ and perl are also very common [19:07] The best way to be a better coder is to read and understand and hack existing code. [19:07] if you want to be experienced programmer don't start with python etc [19:07] interpreted languages, i mean [19:07] Start with C++ then ? [19:07] yeah i get that [19:07] yes [19:08] then java python etc, will be very simple to learn for you [19:08] So..you learn gradually from tutorials on the internet how to develop applications ? I mean you start from Hello World.. [19:08] I 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] wow.. [19:08] ashmew2, if you don't know how to program, may I suggest: http://www.htdp.org/ [19:08] Aleksey_S: what are the audio codecs in use for the two computers?

(too many people commenting in that bug report without attaching necessary info) [19:14] Aleksey_S: one thing you could try is using a kernel with ALSA fixes [19:15] Aleksey_S: i've posted a test at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen [19:16] do you think it is alsa bug? [19:16] all apps, which aren't using portaudio work correctly [19:17] Aleksey_S: it's not clear whether it's only portaudio or some other component in the stack [19:18] ok then [19:18] how i can test your kernel? [19:19] e.g. what i need to do to install it [19:19] Aleksey_S: do you use proprietary drivers according to Hardware Drivers? === geser__ is now known as geser [19:20] mmm [19:20] i have intel video [19:21] and atheros wifi card. but i think it uses freevare driver [19:21] i think no, i am not using proprietary drivers [19:21] can you gather that info from my attachments? [19:22] well, apport reports that you aren't using any, but that's only at the time of post [19:22] sure then [19:23] so, we'll assume you only need to install http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/linux-image-2.6.28-12-generic_2.6.28-12.42~crimsun2lp345627_amd64.deb [19:24] how about headers etc?

[22:38] sorry, -vmmouse [22:38] it is, but you'd need to disable evdev [22:38] on the guest [22:39] cjwatson: nm, nijaba says you're busy. :) [22:40] tjaalton: isn't that a not-good thing to do?

[23:08] so filing a bug against -vmmouse with ubuntu-bug from a VM should gather enough information to fix it [23:09] running ubuntu-bug should include everything [23:09] but at least the lshal output from the VM is needed [23:10] hal-probe-vmmouse doesn't seem to do it's business [23:10] yeah that seems to be the issue [23:12] haha ubuntu-bug OOM. [23:12] obviously I trimmed back this VM a bit too much. [23:12] do you feel the lshal alone is sufficient info? [23:13] should be enough [23:13] do you have mdetect installed? [23:14] no; should I? [23:14] because hal-probe-vmmouse uses vmmouse_detect from mdetect [23:14] no wonder it doesn't work [23:14] wow.

[23:33] kirkland: ran it on the cmd line, got "no usable theme found for 1024x768" [23:33] kees: oh, hmm, yeah, that would do it === asac_ is now known as asac [23:33] kees: we should add higher res themes to usplash-themes [23:34] kirkland: gimme a second to investigate... I think I hadn't been noticing it due to the X crasher. I assumed it was all related [23:34] hrm, no luck. [23:37] kirkland: all my own fault. I think i've got it sorted [23:38] kees: yeah, i was able to launch my vm with your command (mostly) [23:38] kees: what was your problem? [23:39] kirkland: I'd written a custom usplash package and didn't correctly unregister its alternative when removed. [23:39] kees: :-) [23:40] hahaha :)
