| dmg | Hey, it appears the latest mplayer svn makes dash segfault during ./configure. Can anyone else reproduce this? | 01:19 |
|---|---|---|
| dmg | My version of dash is the latest in jaunty, 0.5.4-12ubuntu2. mplayer svn is at svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk . | 01:20 |
| dmg | I'd give a backtrace, but dash is stripped. Should I build one by hand with -g? | 01:20 |
| cjwatson | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash has instructions for acquiring debugging symbols and getting backtraces | 01:22 |
| dmg | cjwatson: thanks | 01:22 |
| cjwatson | (i.e. yes, it's stripped, but we save the debug symbols in packages on ddebs.ubuntu.com) | 01:22 |
| === ember_ is now known as ember | ||
| dmg | cjwatson: looks like dash and mplayer's configure script are both wrong. | 01:51 |
| dmg | the configure script has a bug -- they replaced all the `` with $(...) instances, but there's a place where they had | 01:52 |
| dmg | `(echo foo | grep ...)` | 01:52 |
| dmg | that turned into $((echo ...) ... | 01:52 |
| cjwatson | hah | 01:52 |
| cjwatson | arithmetic expansion | 01:52 |
| dmg | and dash slurped in the entire file while parsing looking for the closing )) | 01:52 |
| cjwatson | I don't entirely blame dash for getting confused, although obviously it's still a bug | 01:53 |
| dmg | it segfaulted because parser builds stuff using alloca(), and it ran out of room. | 01:53 |
| ebroder | Good for them for quoting things properly, though! | 01:54 |
| ebroder | ...or something | 01:54 |
| cjwatson | indeed, the problem is obvious from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/mplayer/trunk/revision/29144 | 02:00 |
| cjwatson | interestingly, bash manages to parse it as the author intended, although I have no idea how | 02:01 |
| cjwatson | it must be doing some serious lookahead to manage that | 02:01 |
| dmg | cjwatson: probably once it sees something that's not an arithmetic token, it gives prunes that branch of the parse tree and figures it must just be a normal command line replacement? | 02:07 |
| dmg | (i.e, 'echo' isn't numeric ...) | 02:08 |
| dmg | I'd need to go back and look at bash's grammar.. | 02:09 |
| dmg | cjwatson: my two-line patch has been sent to the mplayer mailing list. I suppose that's good enough. | 02:21 |
| dmg | Thanks for your help. | 02:21 |
| jdong | kees: I'm getting multiple user feedback that the udev update doesn't trigger a reboot notification. Is this intended? | 03:36 |
| mrooney | kirkland: just thought you might like to know that I got my sheeva plug (http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9634061300.html) today and it is running jaunty server, in a 150mb footprint no less! | 05:42 |
| mrooney | I will hopefully be putting up a blog post soon about it, I imagine not too many people are shipping jaunty already, let alone the ARM port | 05:43 |
| kees | jdong: lacking it is not intended, no. It was mentioned in the USN, though. | 05:52 |
| jdong | kees: ah, okay. I suppose it doesn't make much sense to spam another update to pop up a pretty bubble. | 05:53 |
| kees | jdong: but it's possible the packaging lacked it originally | 05:53 |
| jdong | yeah about 5 users told me it on separate accounts, so I'm assuming the packaging lacked it. | 05:53 |
| jdong | I don't think we had to replace udev very often (the binary itself) :) | 05:53 |
| kees | jdong: it's actually never happened before for -security. :P | 05:54 |
| jdong | :) | 05:54 |
| jdong | I'm kind of shocked that of all the other major distros that I subscribe security notifications to, none have mentioned this yet. | 05:54 |
| jdong | when was this vulnerability discovered? | 05:54 |
| kees | jdong: last week | 05:54 |
| jdong | yikes | 05:55 |
| kees | jdong: 1700 UTC today was the coordinated release time... *shrug* | 05:55 |
| jdong | ah, I see | 05:55 |
| jdong | I suppose it looks like a one-man show for now, huh? :) | 05:55 |
| kees | but yeah, I'm a bit surprised, this is a pretty serious issue. :P | 05:55 |
| jdong | yeah, painfully serious. | 05:55 |
| kees | 1700 was SUSE's recommendation, too. | 05:55 |
| ebroder | I'm still trying to figure out if I care enough to patch my high-use Debian machine myself while I wait for them to get their act together | 05:55 |
| jdong | and it's not like the SELinux profiles in RHEL do anything to stop it either. udevd_t is shockingly unconfined_domain() | 05:56 |
| kees | yup. the Xen-guest SELinux-escape route is possible with this vuln too. | 05:56 |
| jdong | ouch, xen guests can exploit the host you mean? | 05:57 |
| ebroder | Wait..what? | 05:57 |
| * ebroder may really care now | 05:57 | |
| kees | it was a paper that was written about a specific Xen guest-to-host vulnerability. | 05:57 |
| jdong | haha ebroder is gonna have a sleepless night :D | 05:57 |
| kees | ebroder: the Xen issue was fixed a long while ago. | 05:57 |
| ebroder | Oh, ok | 05:58 |
| jdong | ah, dan walsh wrote a reflection on that, I recall | 05:58 |
| jdong | i.e. it being a mistake RH didn't confine VM's in the host. | 05:58 |
| kees | jdong, ebroder: http://invisiblethingslab.com/pub/xenfb-adventures-10.pdf | 05:59 |
| kees | jdong: no, it was confined, but allowed block device access. | 05:59 |
| kees | anyway, same principles could be used to escape SELinux with the udev vuln. I think, I'm not much of an selinux-escape-artist | 06:00 |
| jdong | mmm I see. | 06:00 |
| dholbach | good morning | 06:00 |
| jdong | currently what I see in refpolicy is that the "user_u, sysadm_u, staff_u" users do not have the ability to use netlink_socket | 06:00 |
| jdong | I assume that means users confined under these domains would not have then ecessary access to pull this off. | 06:01 |
| jdong | however, the default config is to place users in unconfined_u so this is moot. | 06:01 |
| bryce_ | slangasek: so, evidence is piling up that switching "greedy" on is a very good thing. There is only one data point to the negative - your firefox case | 06:04 |
| bryce_ | slangasek: so I'm wondering how to reproduce that issue, and if we can definitively tie it to greedy, or if it might be an unrelated issue | 06:05 |
| slangasek | bryce_: which was informally confirmed by others on IRC last night; so we'd be trading performance for correctness... | 06:05 |
| slangasek | the only thing that changed to trigger the behavior was turning on greedy | 06:06 |
| slangasek | reproducing> i965, switch/scroll windows rapidly | 06:06 |
| bryce_ | slangasek: was it? I missed that discussion. | 06:06 |
| bryce_ | slangasek: I'm on i965 and not reproducing it | 06:07 |
| slangasek | er, sorry - 945 | 06:07 |
| slangasek | you'd think I'd know by now what I'm running | 06:08 |
| bryce_ | heh | 06:08 |
| bryce_ | what were other people on? who else reported seeing the issue? | 06:08 |
| bryce_ | if it's only appearing on !i965 or only i945 or whatever, maybe we can conditionalize those cases | 06:08 |
| slangasek | I'll check my logs | 06:09 |
| === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach | ||
| slangasek | bryce_: it was Lure this morning | 06:13 |
| slangasek | <Lure> slangasek: I have also noticed some black areas with greedy (but not to the level that I would go back to non-greedy ;-)) | 06:13 |
| jdong | kees: *WOW*, the Xen dude is quite an escape artist. Quite an amazing read. | 06:14 |
| slangasek | bryce_: did you get a fixed patch that doesn't cause insta-segv? | 06:14 |
| jdong | kees: by far the biggest mistake was xend_t being allowed *ALL* block devices. | 06:14 |
| bryce_ | slangasek: no, but based on the good perf numbers we're getting I'm considering taking a shot at making one | 06:14 |
| * slangasek nods | 06:14 | |
| bryce_ | slangasek: I mean, if it's worth giving it a shot | 06:15 |
| bryce_ | ideally, I'd like to have the black firefox problem out of the way though | 06:16 |
| maco | slangasek: wait, is it scroll in firefox quickly *or* switch between various windows, or is it switch between firefox windows? i'm confused | 06:18 |
| maco | ive got a 945 at home i can play with in the morning and a 965 here | 06:18 |

| tjaalton | sigh, this klogd hang is driving me nuts | 07:23 |
| tjaalton | it's not doing any remote logging, so that's not it | 07:24 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: shouldn't init wait for the network to be up before it proceeds to rc2? | 07:24 |
| liw | tjaalton, I don't think init sets up networking, and anyway, it shouldn't wait, since it can take indefinitely long (e.g., if the dhcp server is down during boot) | 07:25 |
| liw | tjaalton, where does klogd hang for you? | 07:26 |
| tjaalton | liw: it hangs on boot if the network is not up yet (normal dhcp setup, network-manager isn't used) | 07:27 |
| liw | tjaalton, hmm... weird | 07:27 |
| tjaalton | because the dhcp server is on another network, so it might take a while to get a lease | 07:27 |
| tjaalton | I'll try to strace it.. | 07:27 |
| tjaalton | ldap is used, and it tries to run it as 'klog' user.. maybe that's why it fails | 07:29 |
| maxb | window level all | 07:49 |
| tjaalton | hm, now that I messed up the klogd initscript (it didn't try to start it at all), it fails in the next initscript which is dbus | 07:53 |
| tjaalton | so klogd is not at fault here, that's for sure | 07:54 |
| === evand1 is now known as evand | ||
| tjaalton | liw: it's the mountnfs-scripts that are failing.. looks like mountnfs.sh is run even though the network is not up, and that hangs the boot | 08:27 |
| liw | tjaalton, that'd be a bug, yes | 08:28 |
| liw | the fix would be to switch to using upstart events, I'm sure :) | 08:28 |
| pitti | Good morning | 08:37 |
| seb128 | hello pitti | 08:37 |
| slangasek | TheMuso: we're slipping in one kernel upload post-RC; one change is specific to lpia, but the other applies to anyone running ext4. Can you sync up linux-rt and linux-ports and get them into the upload queue, so we can push that through ASAP after RC is done? | 09:25 |

| liw | slangasek, any chance you'd accept a further change to fix my SATA/SEMB problems? http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11579 (but I haven't verified the patch yet) | 09:31 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 11579 in Serial ATA "Libata SATA hard drive detection" [Normal,Resolved: code_fix] | 09:31 |
| slangasek | liw: is that a blocker for installability? | 09:31 |
| slangasek | oh, if the patch isn't verified yet, then the timeline probably doesn't work | 09:32 |
| liw | slangasek, it prevents installing on a bunch of WD SATA hard disks -- the kernel doesn't recognize them as hard disks | 09:32 |
| slangasek | the kernel in question is already uploaded, and needs to be accepted for building by tomorrow in order to make this work out time-wise | 09:32 |
| liw | ah, too bad | 09:32 |
| liw | I'll test the patch RSN anyway, it'd be nice to get this fixed in an SRU | 09:33 |
| TheMuso | slangasek: ok I'm on it, I have one bug I need to kill thats powerpc-specific as well, so this is good news, thanks. | 09:33 |
| liw | (although it probably requires an updated ISO image, too, hmm) | 09:33 |
| slangasek | liw: yeah, which would have made it useful to have in for final :/ | 09:34 |
| TheMuso | slangasek: ...or I could if the git commits were pushed to kernel.ubuntu.com. | 09:36 |
| slangasek | smb_tp: ^^ linux-ports folks need those kernel commits :) | 09:36 |

| TheMuso | smb_tp: Not really useful, as I list the exact changelog bits from mainline in the ports upload' | 09:38 |
| TheMuso | I could generate it however, so I'll see what I can come up with. | 09:38 |
| smb_tp | TheMuso, would the exported patches be ok? You could apply them with git am | 09:39 |

| pitti | smb_tp: oh, and no regressions reported against the hardy update | 09:47 |
| smb_tp | pitti, The regdom thingy should be somewhere. But it might be in the patches queued up. I have to check. With brightness problems I fight a bit. Trying to get info about the specific issue as all are mixed up. But from the general feeling that is not worse than the version in updates now, just not better. | 09:49 |
| smb_tp | pitti, Oh, right the regdom bug is for lbm. I see andy asked for feedback which seems to have arrived now. But it is not yet uploaded to proposed | 09:54 |
| pitti | smb_tp: ah, so it needs another lbm upload first? | 09:55 |
| smb_tp | pitti, yes | 09:55 |
| smb_tp | pitti, I put it onto my list to get done soonish. | 09:56 |
| smb_tp | pitti, About the inverted brightness: as it is that way on 2.6.27-11 and (maybe as I have not clear feedback) the same in proposed. Would it be ok to move proposed to upadates anyway? I even think the inversion issue should be fixed in the proposed. | 09:59 |
| lool | The linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic in ship-live seems to be bogus; anybody minds if I drop it? | 09:59 |

| lool | It's not in jaunty anymore | 10:01 |
| lool | smb_tp: The fact that's a package not existing in jaunty is listed there seems wrong, I'm not saying tehre are bugs in the package though :) | 10:01 |
| smb_tp | lool, Oh, is that the meta-package | 10:01 |
| lool | eagle-usb-utils isn't in jaunty either | 10:02 |
| lool | smb_tp: Not really, it's a task listing additional packages to install in the live CD I think | 10:02 |
| lool | eagle-usb-utils isn't in jaunty anymore either; looks like I could cleanup this seed | 10:03 |
| smb_tp | lool, I pretty much think so. The nameing with the release in it looks like that | 10:03 |
| smb_tp | It would then be linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic | 10:03 |
| TheMuso | smb_tp: hrm ok, since you haven't also uploaded other patches that are in the jaunty tree, theres no point rebasing. I'll just use that ext4 patch fix, and do another bug fix I need to do, and that will be it. | 10:11 |
| lool | stgraber: Hey, we really need the ARM images added to the tracker | 10:12 |
| pitti | mvo: hm, should I remove the current intrepid-proposed update-manager due to lack of feedback, or do you want to test it yourself? (bug 292179) | 10:13 |

| TheMuso | smb_tp: from there on in, any SRUs that are likely to be useful for ports can just be pulled as patches directly, no tree rebasing. | 10:13 |
| TheMuso | smb_tp: yes I know | 10:13 |
| lool | stgraber: Could you please add an entry in Ubuntu for desktop armel imx51 babbage (that's a live) and split the netboot ones with one per flavor (versatile, ixp4x, iop32x) | 10:13 |
| lool | stgraber: Also, UMPC needs dropping and UNR should be its own toplevel project (and server as well BTW) | 10:14 |
| pitti | mvo: (I'd prefer the latter, of course) | 10:14 |
| TheMuso | smb_tp: what I'm saying is that there are other commits in the jaunty tree that haven't been uploaded, so I don't need to rebase, and for SRUs, commits will only need to be pulled where they are applicable to ports | 10:14 |
| slangasek | lool: why is there any need to reorganize the products? | 10:14 |
| lool | slangasek: Well the current situation is inconsistent, the MID and UNR images are listed in different ways, but they are built in the same way | 10:15 |

| smb_tp | TheMuso, A complete rebase would pull things not yet uploaded, yes. So it is not useful here. When we are doing sru's I guess both approaches are ok. With rebasing you get all things, but if you prefer you can cherry pick what you find applicable/useful | 10:16 |
| slangasek | lool: oh | 10:16 |
| TheMuso | smb_tp: yeah the cherry-picking will likely be what I'll do. | 10:17 |

| superm1 | slangasek, g'morning. dog kept waking me up all night, so i figured i might as well stay up :) | 12:00 |
| pitti | Keybuk: for bug 283316, is "sudo udevadm monitor --udev" really the correct thing to debug the udev rules? I only get some "change" event on the USB host, not the actual rules processing (the tracks/vol_id detection is probably the part which causes this) | 12:00 |

| slangasek | superm1: you and fader seem to have been the main testers, anyway | 12:02 |
| superm1 | slangasek, yeah at least for those that report it. there's a handful of people that we've been getting testing dailies and reporting whether things are broke for their situations, but can't seem to get them reporting to the iso tracker yet | 12:03 |

| mvo | YokoZar: /poke | 12:21 |
| YokoZar | hi | 12:21 |
| pitti | Keybuk: nevermind, --environment was missing | 12:21 |
| YokoZar | So I've seen quite a few changes for the kernel set as "fix committed" - is a new kernel gonna roll out for the release candidate? | 12:28 |
| slangasek | no | 12:33 |
| ogra | slangasek, so one time back to the ltsp change ... formerly the amd64 server + i386 client installations didnt have to touch dhcpd.conf, while they had to rebuild their chroots for i386 the conffile was preconfigured for i386 and didnt have to be touched ... | 12:42 |
| ogra | slangasek, as i understand conffiles the change in the package will quietly replace the existing dhcpd.conf for these users | 12:43 |
| ogra | (on upgrades) | 12:43 |
| ogra | which means their clients will silently stop booting | 12:43 |
| slangasek | ogra: conffiles> correct; the flipside seems to be that amd64-on-amd64 is the only thing you can actually configure out-of-the-box right now, and that common case fails? | 12:47 |
| slangasek | dholbach: could you elaborate on why you consider bug #361765 a bug? AFAICS, the task still exists | 12:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 361765 in tasksel "DVD alternate install still offers "Edubuntu Desktop"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/361765 | 12:47 |
| ogra | right, but doe sthat justify to break all existing amd64->i386 setups (which is a huge amount imho) | 12:47 |
| slangasek | ogra: discuss that with stgraber? | 12:48 |
| ogra | i did, i just wanted a second opinion | 12:48 |
| ogra | the problem is known since breezy and since we didnt have a proper solution we kept it the way it was until tonight | 12:49 |
| slangasek | ah | 12:49 |
| dholbach | slangasek: I think it's just the term | 12:49 |
| ogra | i'd rather perfer to work out a proper solution than breaking it for many people on RC day | 12:49 |
| davmor2 | ogra: I don't think the fix has gone in yet has it slangasek? | 12:50 |
| slangasek | ogra: then that's a good argument for rejecting it, but I would like you to come to an agreement with stgraber instead of me being a mediator for that | 12:50 |
| slangasek | dholbach: i.e., "edubuntu" vs. "Ubuntu Education Edition"? | 12:50 |
| ogra | yes, he will come here once he is online again (he is commuting atm) | 12:50 |
| dholbach | slangasek: yes | 12:50 |
| ogra | davmor2, nope | 12:50 |
| ogra | davmor2, its waiting for the freeze to fall, thats why i brought it up | 12:51 |
| davmor2 | ogra: Okay. | 12:51 |
| ogra | dholbach, the dvd installs edubuntu-desktop | 12:51 |
| slangasek | dholbach: ok, makes sense | 12:51 |
| ogra | as a package/task | 12:51 |
| ogra | and by the definition RichEd set up "Ubuntu Education Edition" != edubuntu | 12:52 |
| ogra | (though dont ask me what "Ubuntu Education Edition" is actually after his definition :) ) | 12:53 |
| ogra | but the two are very distinct on all websites so you need to update these as well | 12:53 |
| slangasek | hrm? | 12:54 |
| slangasek | I have no idea what definition that is. As far as I was ever told, Ubuntu Education Edition was a new name for edubuntu. | 12:54 |
| ogra | http://www.ubuntu.com/education was referring to edubuntu as a distro ... www.edubuntu.org was referring to ubuntu in education as something different from edubuntu | 12:55 |
| * ogra checks if that was fixed/changed already | 12:55 | |
| ogra | edubuntu is still in the menu on ubuntu.com but apparently the text referring to it was removed now | 12:56 |
| === ion__ is now known as ion_ | ||
| ogra | there is still http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/edubuntu though | 12:57 |

| dholbach | ogra: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug :) | 12:57 |
| ogra | slangasek, the prob is that the actual strategy was never made clear to anyone by rich so there is a lot confusion | 12:58 |
| ogra | dholbach, i'm not doing edu stuff and am busy up to my ears in arm, can you file it ? | 12:59 |
| dholbach | ogra: I don't know much about the edubuntu situation, just noticed it during the installation | 12:59 |
| ogra | (that should really be discussed with LaserJock rather) | 13:00 |
| ogra | dholbach, the transition rich had to do is only half way done, i have no idea who has taken over his role but if we change it on the DVD it should be changed everywhere for a professional look | 13:01 |

| seb128 | I've no clue about fontconfig, fonts or qt | 14:34 |
| ccm | hi there | 14:36 |
| dholbach | ccm: slangasek asked: "is it really only VBGR/VRGB that are affected? That seems like a blatant configuration error, then?" | 14:38 |
| ccm | dholbach: in my tests it is and all users seemed to report so | 14:39 |
| ccm | dholbach: it happened directly after an upgrade to jaunty for me | 14:40 |
| slangasek | ccm: why did you have VRGB set? | 14:41 |
| slangasek | that's not a default, and it's not the subpixel orientation that most users have | 14:41 |
| ccm | slangasek: actually that was a result of lcd (laptop) display tuning for getting better font results - as it is quite easy to reach this menu in ubuntu and you dont even need admin rights for it, i think a bunch people tested it | 14:45 |
| ccm | slangasek: and might still have turned it on as it had no negative side effect | 14:45 |
| slangasek | well, it's still a misconfiguration if you click a setting that doesn't actually match your subpixel layout, and if it looked good at all that was an unintended side-effect in the first place | 14:46 |
| slangasek | so I don't see that this is a critical bug | 14:47 |
| slangasek | superm1, fader_: mythbuntu 20090416 up | 14:47 |

| fader_ | slangasek: rsync says about 15 minutes for the download | 14:51 |
| slangasek | cool | 14:51 |
| ccm | slangasek: well actually vrgb is broken now. that means at least it will hit users who intentionally configured it for rotated displays and those who turned it on by chance. so the question seems more if it might have impact to a remarkable amount of users after release - be it by misconfiguration or intention, in fact both will be presented unusuble qt applications and might have no clue at all on how to fix it | 14:52 |
| Keybuk | fbond: what would you like to know? | 14:53 |
| slangasek | ccm: can you give me a simple test case with which to reproduce the bug, given that I'm running Ubuntu with no Qt apps currently installed? | 14:54 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Can you point me to docs in the wiki? | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | fbond: what are you trying to do? | 14:55 |
| fbond | I want to force r8168 to be loaded before r8169. | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | fbond: there is no r8168 driver | 14:55 |
| fbond | Oh, crap, that's right. This system is actually Debian. Sorry. | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | fbond: off to #debian with you then ;) | 14:56 |
| ccm | slangasek: I assume no | 14:56 |
| fbond | Keybuk: sorry about that. I forgot that I sometimes am on machines that *aren't* running Ubuntu. | 14:56 |
| slangasek | ccm: hmm? | 14:56 |
| cody-somerville | Its okay fbond. I make that mistake *all* the time. | 14:56 |
| ccm | slangasek: at least "qtconfig" is enough as a test application | 14:56 |
| cody-somerville | :P | 14:56 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: network is started up both by udev and init, but why? | 14:56 |
| Keybuk | fbond: though in general, first check whether your device is supported by the other driver (modinfo r8168) | 14:56 |
| slangasek | ccm: ok, grabbing | 14:56 |
| pitti | fbond: curiously, I sometimes forget that there are machines out there which aren't running Linux.. :) | 14:56 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: physical devices are started by udev, logical devices by init | 14:56 |
| slangasek | ccm: in any case, even if the conclusion is that Qt is Really Broken, this is likely to be a matter for an SRU rather than an emergency pre-release fix | 14:57 |
| fbond | Keybuk: I'm bugging people in #debian now, but in this case r8168 and r8169 both support the chip in question, but r8169 is buggy on it while r8168 works fine. | 14:58 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Meanwhile, the *other* chip on the system requires r8169. | 14:58 |
| ccm | slangasek: then go you to you display settings and enale "lcd" mode and "vrgb" (while no qt app is running) | 14:58 |
| ccm | slangasek: then start qtconfig | 14:58 |

| Keybuk | fbond: ah, then you need both 8168 and 8169 loaded | 14:58 |
| tjaalton | at least the services in if-up.d are run twice | 14:59 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: ifup -a should only be run once | 14:59 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: udev does not run it, it will run ifup eth0 | 14:59 |
| Keybuk | fbond: in that case, you're going to have to poke things in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/r8169 and 8168 | 14:59 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: right, true.. but the services are restarted | 15:00 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: shouldn't be | 15:00 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: if the device is up, it won't be run again | 15:00 |
| slangasek | ccm: I cannot say with certainty that what qt is doing there is actually wrong for true VRGB | 15:00 |
| tjaalton | nfs-common is run three times here (obviously a bug, it shouldn't do that in rc2/S20) | 15:00 |
| slangasek | wait, yes I can, I can rotate my output :) | 15:00 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: are you sure they're not just getting run again because you don't actually check multiple devices? | 15:00 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: they'll be run for "ifup lo" *and* "ifup eth0" remember | 15:00 |
| ccm | slangasek: well qtconfig looks unusable, right? in all display directions | 15:01 |
| fbond | Keybuk: That seems ... unreasonable. | 15:01 |
| Keybuk | fbond: why? | 15:01 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Well, I just can't help but feel that I have to know an awful lot of implementation details to do something that seems pretty simple. | 15:02 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Between udev/modprobe/sysfs ... | 15:02 |
| Keybuk | fbond: changing drivers is not supposed to be "simple" | 15:02 |
| Keybuk | you're not supposed to need to worry about it at all | 15:02 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Oh, well that's true. | 15:02 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Any docs on the particular pokings that need to occur? | 15:02 |
| slangasek | ccm: ah, yes, it's still unusable when I rotate my monitor (and not just because it makes my neck hurt) | 15:02 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: ah, excellent.. | 15:03 |
| Keybuk | fbond: there's lots of documentation, e.g. in the kernel source | 15:03 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: there's a reason we don't start services in that directory ;) | 15:03 |
| slangasek | ccm: so it's certainly a valid bug, but we certainly can't commit to fixing this before release when there's no known fix yet | 15:03 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: hmm, you mean the ones in if-up.d shouldn't be run? | 15:04 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Would it be unreasonable to, e.g., blacklist both r8168 and r8169 and then put both in /etc/modules? | 15:04 |
| ccm | slangasek: okay then. If that does not fit into release critical thats fine for me. I just wanted to bring this up to somebody who can say so as it did not get any attention so far and I wanted to prevent that it just got overseeing. | 15:04 |
| Keybuk | fbond: wouldn't make any difference | 15:04 |
| ccm | slangasek: thank you for the taking the time | 15:04 |
| Keybuk | fbond: both would load, and the existing rules for binding would still take place | 15:05 |
| slangasek | ccm: no problem :) | 15:05 |
| ccm | dholbach: and thank you for getting me in contact :) | 15:05 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: they're not services usually, they're tasks | 15:05 |
| dholbach | ccmno worries | 15:05 |
| dholbach | ccm: no worries :) | 15:05 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: ie. they poke or prod or do something when a network device comes up | 15:05 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: we don't start/stop services based on the presence or not of network devices | 15:05 |
| Keybuk | fbond: the kernel makes the decision which driver gets which device | 15:06 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Things currently work if I rmmod both, modprobe r8168, and then modprobe r8169. I was under the impression that drivers "claim" devices. | 15:06 |
| Keybuk | fbond: ah, that's more interesting then - yes you can force that | 15:06 |
| Keybuk | though that should be forceable with a tweak to modules.order | 15:06 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Ah, perfect. Let me read about that. | 15:07 |
| Keybuk | ie. edit /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.order and make sure r8168 is before r8169 | 15:07 |
| Keybuk | (assuming both claim your device, that will make 8168 "win") | 15:07 |
| fbond | Keybuk: If depmod gets run will my changes be overwritten? | 15:07 |
| Keybuk | fbond: no, only a kernel upgrade would overwrite your changes | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | use dpkg-divert to prevent that | 15:08 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Great, thanks for your help. | 15:08 |
| fbond | I'm still hoping that one day I will understand udev, modprobe, and kernel interactions. But I think it would take a few days of reading. | 15:08 |
| Keybuk | fbond: there's good books on it which are only slightly out of date <g> | 15:09 |
| fbond | Keybuk: You're pulling my leg, right? Does such a book truly exist? | 15:10 |
| Keybuk | fbond: "Linux Device Drivers" by Greg Kroah-Hartman | 15:11 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Oh, I have an old old copy of that, I think. | 15:11 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: yes, figured as much. maybe I just need to hack around the mountnfs issues for now, and make sure this works properly when sysv-initscripts are replaced by upstart events ;) | 15:12 |
| Keybuk | tjaalton: karmic, hopefully | 15:12 |
| tjaalton | Keybuk: yeah, looking at the specs | 15:12 |
| Keybuk | fbond: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ is the current edition | 15:12 |
| Keybuk | fbond: ch.14 is the relevant one, though there are improvements there that the book misses | 15:13 |
| fbond | Keybuk: I think I bought my copy about 5 years ago. I'll have a look at the recent edition. | 15:13 |
| Keybuk | fbond: LWN is an excellent resource for catching up on the changes since | 15:13 |
| fbond | Keybuk: Okay, thanks again. | 15:15 |
| Keybuk | (in summary, rather than all the _PRODUCT, _ID, etc. nonsense, the kernel now exports a single MODALIAS string that describes the device uniquely | 15:16 |

| Keybuk | so if we do 'modprobe $MODALIAS' we get whatever module(s) think they can support that card) | 15:16 |

| slangasek | fader_: hmm, I forgot that I'd already neutered the sync-mirror script - you don't actually have mythbuntu 20090416 yet | 15:19 |
| slangasek | (because I failed to fully publish it) | 15:19 |
| fader_ | Ah, heh... okay, I'll stop testing :) | 15:19 |
| slangasek | publishing now | 15:19 |
| fader_ | Should I just grab it from cdimages via http? | 15:19 |
| slangasek | fader_: whichever way you'd like to grab it - just make sure you're grabbing the 20090416 serial | 15:20 |
| fader_ | slangasek: roger that... I'll just grab it via http | 15:20 |
| pitti | hey tkamppeter, how are you? had a good travel back? | 15:21 |
| tkamppeter | Yes, and I have a new SRU, for Jaunty and for Intrepid, bug 357732 | 15:23 |

| azeem | W31 | 15:27 |
| azeem | bah, sorry | 15:27 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: should rather become an SRU | 15:30 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, uploaded to Debian BZR of CUPS | 15:35 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ok, thanks | 15:36 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, how to proceed for the Jaunty SRU? | 15:36 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: we should create a jaunty branch anyway | 15:37 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, also uploaded upstrream now. | 15:38 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: "uploaded"? | 15:39 |
| tkamppeter | Upstream is http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/pdf-printing/ | 15:39 |

| ogra | Swap: 4803392 4352308 451084 | 17:10 |
| jdong | awesome | 17:10 |
| jdong | does it put itself out of misery soon thereafter? | 17:10 |
| ogra | until i hit OOM at some point and the whole machine hangs | 17:10 |
| jdong | aww. | 17:10 |
| ogra | though i'm adventurous and use UXA | 17:11 |
| jdong | apart from hanging after 30 minutes of use, 90% probability of crash-after-resume is my other problem. | 17:11 |
| jdong | this is under UXA | 17:11 |
| jdong | EXA has completely stopped working for me in Jaunty | 17:11 |

| superm1 | fader_, not sure if you saw with your disconnect; what graphics hardware did you test with? | 17:29 |
| fader_ | I tested in virtualbox... not sure what it emulates | 17:29 |

| superm1 | fader_, okay cool; good | 17:31 |

| fbond | Keybuk: FWIW, blacklist r8168, blacklist r8169, and putting r8168, r8169 in /etc/modules does do the trick. initramfs needs to be regenerated, of course, and your root fs can't be on a network filesystem. | 17:53 |

| superm1 | slangasek, i'm having a hard time authenticating with iso tracker for some reason (getting 403 errors), but the test turned out mostly right. the bug we were trying to fix is fixed, but it uncovered another (in ubiquity) that is lower priority. so i'd say push rc, and i'll have the ubiquity bug fixed for final | 17:54 |

| lool | pitti: The first is in the queue | 18:06 |
| lool | pitti: the second is just in progress stuff not worth an upload | 18:06 |
| pitti | lool: ok, that's for karmic then; I'll branch off a jaunty branch and commit the stuff DX asked for for jaunty | 18:06 |
| lool | pitti: The changes are trivial, but they might show a big diff; happy to defer to karmic | 18:07 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have updated bug 357732 now. I have requested the Jaunty and Intrepid tasks before I found out that the bug is not present in Intrepid. The Intrepid task I have set Invalid now. I have also set the CUPS/Jaunty task to "In progress" now as the reporter has done the requested tests and the fix is uploaded upstream and commited to Debian. | 18:08 |

| bryce | pitti, slangasek: https://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/InputHotplugGuide | 19:04 |
| Pici | kees: I can reproduce that here. | 19:08 |
| chrisccoulson | Pici - you see anything on the session bus? | 19:08 |
| Pici | chrisccoulson: dbus-monitor? No. I get activity for changing the brightness, but not from volume changes/mutes. | 19:10 |
| chrisccoulson | i'd be tempted to reassign that to gnome-settings-daemon then | 19:10 |
| chrisccoulson | it's not a notify-osd bug if there is no messages being sent to it | 19:10 |
| kees | chrisccoulson: what's the method for debugging this? | 19:15 |
| kees | Pici, chrisccoulson: dmandell is the filer of 362463 | 19:15 |
| kees | dmandell: can you run "dbus-monitor" and see if you get messages for volume changes? | 19:16 |
| kees | dmandell: Pici was not seeing dbus notifications, so it seems like this is a lower regression than just notify-osd | 19:16 |
| pitti | kees: can you please follow up in the bug and talk to MacSlow about it? | 19:17 |
| dmandell | Sure | 19:17 |
| kees | pitti: sure, though I'd like to have more specific details. | 19:18 |
| pitti | bryce: want me to do anything with that guide? (ECONTEXT) | 19:18 |
| dmandell | No messages when I change my volume. | 19:19 |
| kees | dmandell: okay, cool. can you add that detail to the bug report? | 19:19 |
| dmandell | Yup. | 19:19 |
| kees | chrisccoulson, pitti: what is actually responsible for sending those dbus messages? | 19:19 |
| bryce | pitti: nope, just reference | 19:19 |
| pitti | kees: that's done by libnotify1 | 19:20 |
| pitti | kees: programs usually link to that, and this converts the libnotify API calls to d-bus messages, which notification-daemon or notify-osd pick up | 19:20 |
| pitti | kees: but I doubt that there's a problem with the dbus side | 19:21 |
| pitti | I guess it just fails to draw the bubbles | 19:21 |
| * pitti -> dinner | 19:21 | |
| kees | the drawing works, but the app linked to libnotify1 isn't sending... but I don't know what app that is on a T60. :) | 19:22 |
| pitti | kees: oh, I see; that's an app problem then, and dbus-monitor should show whether it's actually sending the calls | 19:24 |
| kees | pitti: right, I just don't know how the button-press maps all the way into dbus. | 19:26 |
| kees | pitti: and it's clearly HW specific. 2 T60 people see it, and I don't. | 19:26 |
| kees | pitti: and their volume buttons actually function. | 19:26 |

| bratsche | I'll take a look. | 19:35 |
| kees | tedg: that's the only thing that seems to touch notifications recently. | 19:35 |
| kees | bratsche: cool, thanks | 19:35 |
| tedg | kees: Well, that should make them work at all. So it should have to be there. | 19:35 |
| kees | heh | 19:35 |
| tedg | kees: It may have changed though, and that might be the issue. | 19:35 |
| bratsche | kees: You know, I think this may have been removed deliberately because some people (including myself and dobey) were complaining that it's annoying to hit the "volume up" button and then see a notification that basically says "you just hit the volume up button, as you thought you did." | 19:36 |
| kees | bratsche: but this still happens for me on my machine. | 19:37 |
| kees | bratsche: i.e. it's specific to the T60 or something. also, I thought that was the point of those notifications? | 19:37 |
| kees | bratsche: it gives you an indication of where you are on the spectrum of volume, min, max, etc | 19:37 |
| kees | bratsche: I would imagine mpt would freak out if volume-change-notifications were _removed_. :P | 19:38 |
| bratsche | I just tested, and when I do volume up key.. I get the volume progress bar kind of notification.. but I no longer get the one that just says "you hit the volume up button" or whatever. | 19:38 |
| bratsche | Let me go test on my Thinkpad. | 19:39 |
| kees | bratsche: right, we're debugging a total lack of the progress bar notification. | 19:39 |
| bratsche | Ah, I see. | 19:39 |
| bratsche | Okay hang on. | 19:39 |
| bratsche | I misunderstood. | 19:39 |

| bratsche | Let me update and make sure I'm on the latest package. | 19:39 |

| dmandell | I can do it today to rule that out as a problem. | 19:59 |

| pitti | kees: oh, it's about the volume buttons? | 20:08 |
| pitti | kees: the path is roughly like this: | 20:08 |
| pitti | kees: keypress -> kernel -> evdev event KEY_VOLUMEUP -> X.org -> X.org key Event XF86VolumeUp -> gnome-settings-daemon -> call libnotify to produce volume up notification -> dbus -> notify-osd picks it up and draws bubble | 20:09 |
| pitti | a|wen-: hi | 20:09 |
| sbeattie | pitti: where does the actual sound volume adjustment occur in that pipeline? | 20:09 |
| pitti | sbeattie: that's also g-s-d, triggering the mixer when it receives the keypress | 20:10 |
| sbeattie | pitti: cool, thanks. | 20:11 |
| a|wen- | pitti: i was just in a longer discussion in #ubuntu-modu about the sru policy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates ... motu-sru would like to give the ack before upload, and afaik for main uploading before ack is ok? | 20:11 |
| pitti | sbeattie, kees: if you strace -p `pidof gnome-settings-daemon` and press the button, you should see some open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) fiddling | 20:12 |
| pitti | and in dbus-monitor there should be something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/152308/ | 20:13 |
| pitti | i. e. g-s-d sending to dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications the notification-audio-volume-high message | 20:13 |
| pitti | a|wen-: right; it's much easier (and rare) to reject something from the queue than to have the uploader wait for another round of bug ping pong | 20:14 |
| pitti | a|wen-: however, that's standard practice for main; if motu-sru wants ack-before-upload, that's totally fine for me | 20:15 |
| pitti | a|wen-: just let me know what you decide, so that I stick to it | 20:15 |
| pitti | a|wen-: right now, my practice is that when I see an universe upload in the queue, I look at the bug and check if it's ack'ed; if not, I sub motu-sru and ask for ack | 20:15 |
| chrisccoulson | dmandell - for the volume notification issue, it might be useful to do "killall gnome-settings-daemon; gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon" and attach the output to the bug report when you hit the volume key | 20:15 |
| chrisccoulson | g-s-d is quite verbose in debug mode | 20:16 |
| a|wen- | pitti: all started with the process description not being clear about ack before upload or not necessary ... you might get a ping from jdong at some point about updating the description to reflect their decision (nobody fills compelled with changing wordings in processes too much) | 20:17 |
| dmandell | chrisccoulson: No output at all from hitting volume key | 20:18 |
| chrisccoulson | very strange | 20:19 |
| chrisccoulson | if you completely kill gnome-settings-daemon and then hit the volume key, then does the volume change? | 20:20 |
| chrisccoulson | it shouldn't, but i just wonder if you've got something else that grabs the key (very unlikely) | 20:20 |
| chrisccoulson | i should check to see if i get debug output on volume change actually;) | 20:21 |
| chrisccoulson | i get this output each time i hit the volume key: | 20:21 |

| seb128 | dmandell: open a command line and type "xev" | 20:54 |

| seb128 | chrisccoulson: hi, you get the bug too? | 20:55 |
| chrisccoulson | no, it works fine for me | 20:56 |

| dmandell | ** (gnome-settings-daemon:25566): DEBUG: Unable to parse: 'XF86AudioMedia' | 20:56 |
| dmandell | Not sure if it has anything to do with anything, but it's audio related so I thought I'd bring it up. | 20:56 |
| chrisccoulson | dmandell - what does xev show when you press the key with no gnome-settings-daemon running? | 20:56 |
| seb128 | dmandell: should not, could you run xev and see what events you get for those keys? | 20:56 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson: could be bug #357673 but it doesn't have lot of details, still good to debug it | 20:57 |
| dmandell | nothing in xev | 20:57 |

| seb128 | dmandell: is g-s-d running? | 20:57 |
| seb128 | does stopping it makes a difference? | 20:57 |
| dmandell | seb128: yes | 20:57 |
| dmandell | (running) | 20:57 |
| chrisccoulson | you should kill it first | 20:57 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson: you think that g-s-d grab events and do nothing with those? | 20:58 |
| dmandell | no, killing it doesn't make a difference. | 20:58 |
| chrisccoulson | seb128 - i think there is something else on the system grabbing the key | 20:58 |
| LaserJock | hmm, did Gnome switch to git today? | 20:58 |
| seb128 | ok, so sounds similar to #357673 | 20:58 |
| chrisccoulson | dmandell says that the volume still changes with no g-s-d running at all | 20:58 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: they are in the middle of it not sure if it's done yet | 20:59 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson: his laptop might have those cabled, ie acting on an hardware level | 20:59 |
| LaserJock | seb128: does that mean any bzr mirrors or bzr-svn branches are going to not work now? | 20:59 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: that would be a question for #launchpad rather I guess | 20:59 |
| chrisccoulson | seb128 - quite possible, but they worked at some point before | 20:59 |
| LaserJock | seb128: right, just thought you might know | 21:00 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson: before today or before a linux or xorg update? ;-) | 21:00 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: no, I don't use bzr imports, I use svn directly usually | 21:00 |
| seb128 | it's faster and less buggy (no outdated imports) | 21:00 |
| * chrisccoulson finds it very confusing to understand how keypresses get from the hardware to an application | 21:01 | |
| LaserJock | seb128: ah, but I guess you'll have to switch to git or find a bzr <-> git method | 21:01 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: I'm not using bzr to work on GNOME so I've nothing to switch really | 21:01 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: we only have the debian directory in bzr for desktop packages and we use tarballs | 21:01 |
| dmandell | seb128: the timeframe of bug 357673 approximately matches my own. I think I lost volume notifications at around the same time. | 21:01 |

| chrisccoulson | dmandell - could you switch to a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1), and run "sudo showkey -k" and press the volume button | 21:02 |
| chrisccoulson | do you see any keycodes when you do that? | 21:02 |
| LaserJock | seb128: ah, I thought you were doing more upstream stuff so that you'd often want VCS checkouts | 21:02 |
| LaserJock | seb128: anyway, I'll ask #launchpad | 21:02 |
| seb128 | chrisccoulson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting is quite detailed | 21:03 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks seb128 - i'll have a read of that | 21:03 |
| seb128 | dmandell: you might want to follow instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting too | 21:03 |
| ion_ | I didn’t read the bug report, but i think some package changed something so that the volume control keys don’t control software volume *at all*, since they can’t be prevented from controlling the hardware volume. That’s probably why there’s no indicator. | 21:03 |
| dmandell | chrisccoulson: nothing happens | 21:04 |
| dmandell | no keycodes | 21:04 |
| chrisccoulson | dmandell - that's wierd, so the kernel is not producing any keypress event at all | 21:04 |
| seb128 | dmandell: do you still have old linux versions installed you can boot? | 21:04 |
| ion_ | chrisccoulson: That’s probably an intentional workaround. | 21:04 |
| dmandell | seb128: I may, hold on. | 21:05 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks ion_ - is there a reference to that somewhere? do you know what changed? | 21:05 |
| ion_ | hotkey-setup (0.1-23ubuntu10): * Drop the override of the hotkey mask for ThinkPads. This is currently used for brightness keys, volume keys, and the ThinkVantage button: - overriding the volume keys causes double-stepping of the volume, because the volume was also being adjusted in the hardware mixer, which we can't disable - so we don't want these keys exposed for now. LP: #355300. | 21:05 |

| kees | ion_: what's the correct fix for this? | 21:11 |
| ion_ | kees: I haven’t investigated the issue, but probably either finding a way to disable the hardware mixer control, or making the keys control the indicator but *not* software volume. | 21:12 |
| ion_ | The latter one would probably be a bit of a kluge. | 21:12 |
| * kees 's head spins | 21:13 | |
| kees | ion_: so prior to that fix, pressing volume keys on that hardware would double-step? | 21:13 |
| ion_ | Yes | 21:14 |
| ion_ | The behavior used to be such that like 80% of the volume indicator would be equivalent to total silence and the last 20% would suddenly raise the volume. | 21:15 |
| kees | icky. :) | 21:15 |

| rickspencer3 | I hear you were asking about default artwork? | 22:05 |
| BUGabundo | akgraner: hi | 22:05 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: hi | 22:05 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: yes...I was asking about the artwork | 22:05 |
| rickspencer3 | sorry I missed it | 22:06 |
| rickspencer3 | I hear through the irc grapevine you're looking for a bunny with antlers? | 22:06 |
| rickspencer3 | :) | 22:06 |
| mdz | akgraner: I wouldn't go so far as to say there is a theme...the wallpaper has changed in different ways for each release. these days, the design team develops it and we just drop it in | 22:06 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: yes...I was hoping with last updates I installed, when I did the reboot a Jackalope would appear...I was a little disappointed... | 22:07 |
| rickspencer3 | too bad | 22:07 |
| rickspencer3 | I'm sorry you're dissapointed | 22:07 |
| akgraner | I liked the charm of that..was an announcement I missed. | 22:07 |
| rickspencer3 | kwwii: is there not a different background that would suit with one of the alternate themes? | 22:07 |
| rickspencer3 | akgraner: I don't think you missed an announcement | 22:08 |
| rickspencer3 | like mdz says, we just help out the art team by dropping in their great work | 22:08 |
| mdz | akgraner: why did you expect to see a jackalope on your wallpaper? | 22:08 |
| LaserJock | extrapolation from a data set of 2? | 22:08 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: maybe I'm just to new...well there was ipex and a heron... | 22:09 |
| rickspencer3 | yeah | 22:09 |
| akgraner | so I guess I just expected a jackalope | 22:09 |
| rickspencer3 | akgraner: you're right, the totally abstract background is a break from tradition | 22:09 |
| rickspencer3 | but I think there are some good jackalope backgrounds out there | 22:10 |
| * ScottK would have enjoyed Bassalope, but is many releases too late for that. | 22:10 | |
| ikus060 | join #launchpad | 22:10 |
| * ScottK hands ikus060 a '/' | 22:10 | |
| rickspencer3 | I personally like how the new background has elements that are picked up elsewhere, like the default search page and such | 22:10 |
| rickspencer3 | I think kwwii, our resident artist is in Germany, so it's late there, but he'll be able to connect you with some of the community submitted themes that have the jackalopes | 22:11 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: I thought something that would break a tradition would have been discussed, that's why I asked if I missed something.... | 22:11 |
| LaserJock | akgraner: well, the animal theme was new for Hardy | 22:12 |
| rickspencer3 | akgraner: honestly, I don't know where it was discussed, I know the current background has been in the product for quite a while, since the week before visual freeze | 22:12 |
| rickspencer3 | I wish I tracked this more, but I think there's a way for community members to submit themes and such, so I know it's a totally public deciscion | 22:13 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: yes the current one as been there I just thought the final *pop* would be the animal showing up...that's all... | 22:13 |
| calc | is it possible to have comments in the control file? | 22:13 |
| rickspencer3 | hehe | 22:13 |
| mdz | akgraner: 8.04 was, I believe, the first release to have animal-themed wallpaper. if there was a tradition, the people making the wallpaper didn't know about it :-) | 22:14 |
| akgraner | rickspencer3: I'll go on a virtual hunt for the jackalope...just wish I had known it wasn't going to be there..I was *really* waiting to see it... | 22:15 |

| cjwatson | see debian-cd/tools/pi-makelist-vfat | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | lool: you say that as if I do ;-) | 22:33 |
| lool | I guess I have to compute CHS and LBA compliant addresses; but I don't know how parted picks them | 22:33 |
| lool | The thing is that parted seems to change the disks' CHS depending on the partitions you create | 22:33 |
| lool | That is if you "parted mkpart" twice, you see different CHS values for the disk | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | if you can't figure it out, I can have a look tomorrow, maybe | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | I know where to look for parted's CHS handling, at least roughly, but I don't know offhand how it behaves or how to control it | 22:34 |

| ogra | but its definately needed if you work with images | 22:59 |

| lool | ogra: Why? | 23:00 |
| ogra | no idea, but i cant work with images with mcopy or mdir if i dont have it set ... i think it was explained in the manpage somewhere | 23:00 |
| ogra | All the Mtools commands perform a few sanity checks before going ahead, to make sure that the disk is indeed an MS-DOS disk (as opposed to, say an ext2 or minix | 23:01 |
| ogra | disk). These checks may reject partially corrupted disks, which might otherwise still be readable. To avoid these checks, set the MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK environmental variable or the corresponding configuration file variable (see section global variables) | 23:01 |
| lool | Yes it wasn't needed so far | 23:01 |
| lool | So I'd better keep the safety checks if disabling them isn't enough and they used to pass | 23:01 |

| calc | OOo doesn't exactly follow the FHS | 23:27 |
| calc | which makes it fairly easy to do the multiple install | 23:27 |
| jdong | meh the FHS is a "recommendation" | 23:27 |
| * jdong watches the pitchforks come | 23:27 | |
| calc | jdong: sticking arch indep data into /usr/lib isn't exactly a good idea | 23:27 |
| jdong | ok that's a bit painful. | 23:28 |
| calc | jdong: and as far as debian is concerned FHS isn't just a recommendation its required | 23:28 |
| calc | of course some debian packages are thus buggy when it is too painful to try to fix them | 23:28 |
| calc | there are 6 noted exceptions to FHS in policy | 23:29 |
| jdong | right. | 23:31 |
| jdong | I see the merit, but it does make packaging a lot hairier | 23:32 |
| jdong | how do you put up with OOo packaging anyway? isn't there a good 6-8 hours of pipeline latency when you build a package? :) | 23:32 |
| kees | pitti: I seem to have both /etc/default/apport and /etc/default/apport.default :( | 23:33 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - there's a bug report for that already isn't there? | 23:33 |
| calc | jdong: for a cached build it takes ~ 1-2hr | 23:33 |
| kees | chrisccoulson: oh, dunno | 23:33 |
| calc | jdong: for the buildds it takes ~ 36hr before they are all done (armel is really slow) | 23:34 |
| jdong | ah I see | 23:34 |
| jdong | at least caching makes it bearable then | 23:34 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - bug 361543 | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 361543 in apport "/etc/default/apport mistakenly installed as /etc/default/apport.default" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/361543 | 23:34 |
| kees | chrisccoulson: thanks | 23:34 |
| calc | jdong: yea | 23:34 |
| calc | jdong: aiui there is a better c++ linker that might help as well in binutils but it is still experimental | 23:35 |
| kwwii | lol, I put mascots in the wallpapers and kinda felt the heat for it, and now we don't use them and people miss them, funny that | 23:39 |
| kwwii | if it makes anyone feel better there is already a bunch of work going on in the ubuntu-artwork team creating koala pics ;) | 23:39 |
| kwwii | personaly, I prefer my desktop without a mascot | 23:39 |
| calc | kwwii: yes... no matter what you do it is wrong ;-) | 23:40 |

| ebroder | I thought the Ibex was really well done. I swear I looked at the background for at least 2 months before even realizing it was supposed to be an Ibex | 23:40 |
| jdong | kwwii: I'm thinking animated wallpapers | 23:40 |
| jdong | like maybe with a jackalope and if you click it it runs across and shatters some desktop icons | 23:40 |
| jdong | courtesy of compiz? | 23:41 |

| askand | Anyone here familiar with the new notify-osd? | 23:42 |
| askand | I am thinking of bug 338695 where lowresimages appears in the bubbles, in the case with pidgin it appears that they do not actually have a highresversion of the icon in question and therefore we see a lowresicon, would the way to go in this case be to file a bug against pidgin for not providing scalable images, or at least highresversions? | 23:44 |

| cjwatson | ericdc: your remastering has probably set incorrect Priority fields; compare the Priority fields in your Packages files against those in the archive | 23:49 |
| cjwatson | ericdc: also look through the installer's syslog to see which udebs it's loading; it generally includes a brief explanation of why | 23:51 |
| === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey | ||
| cody-somerville | cjwatson, Does d-i load all the udebs on the cd or just those of a certain priority or what? | 23:57 |
| cjwatson | cody-somerville: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/07/msg01207.html | 23:58 |
| cjwatson | in brief, by default it loads Priority: standard and above, and anything installed explicitly using an anna-install command (and the dependencies of both of those, of course) | 23:59 |
| cjwatson | or the Enhances thing I mention; I forget whether I ever looked into how that really behaves | 23:59 |
