persiamcasadevall, I thought you said you were doing that last week.22:03

mcasadevallOh, thats the VNC4 thing22:03

mcasadevall[topic] persia to chase VFP for cairo ffmpeg and gtk+2.022:04
MootBotNew Topic:  persia to chase VFP for cairo ffmpeg and gtk+2.022:04
persiaffmpeg and gtk2.0+ prepared, massively improved by lool, and uploaded.22:05
persiaI got horribly stuck on cairo, and thought lool had taken it this week.22:05
loolcairo > I implemented it for Debian; it's in theory easy to merge in Ubuntu, but in practice I should redo it to have smaller changes22:05
persialool, Do you expect that to be able to go post-RC?22:06
loolUnfortunately I didn't find the time; I'm not convinced the cairo changes are acceptable at this point22:06
loolpersia: I chatted about it with slangasek, it was after the RC build were kicked off, but would I see the changes myself I would cry22:06
loolIt's like a rewrite of rules currently22:06
loolAlso, gtk+2.0 had an issue in the vfp flavor alone, and that's not encouraging22:06
persiaYeah, that's what I was finding, and it's not a simple rules file.22:06
persiaWhat was the issue?22:07
loolMissing configure flags22:07
loolit was using the common configure flags instead of the same ones as for the shared flavor22:07
loolThat caused xinput to go missing, which was quite subtle to miss22:08
persiaRIght.22:08
loolSo I'll try to push cairo if time allows; I'd like an ack from Debian too22:08
loolAnyway, mcasadevall > moving on22:09

GrueMasterSorry, couldn't get it to run after rebuilding.  Constant segfaults.22:11
mcasadevallI'd like to add a sidenote on this one22:11
StevenKSounds like an improvement to me22:11

mcasadevall[topic] NCommander to coordinate with lool and re-purpose hardening-wrapper to pass -Os on lpia builds22:12
MootBotNew Topic:  NCommander to coordinate with lool and re-purpose hardening-wrapper to pass -Os on lpia builds22:12
* ogra does a happy dance ... 22:12
mcasadevallhardening-wrapper is now lpia-wrapper, and mostly done22:12
loolmcasadevall: Where is it?22:13
mcasadevalllool, in a PPA, still needs some work22:13
loolmcasadevall: Which one?22:13
* lool checked yours already22:13
mcasadevalllool, the lpia compiler optimizations off my account22:13
mcasadevalllool, remember, we have multi-PPAs now :-)22:13
loolhttps://launchpad.net/~mcasadevall/+archive/ppa => I don't see it?22:14
loolOh ok22:14
mcasadevalllool, ignore the build-essential package, thats just there to get builds to build with it by default.22:14
loolIt's actually the fault of my own firefox keywords22:14
loolmcasadevall: What's the status?  Does it work alright?22:15
mcasadevallTalked with kees on how we want to handle the hardening-wrapper/lpia-wrapper conflict, and agreed to copy the hardening-wrapper functionality right into lpia-wrapper. Its a fugly solution, but without building a general framework (which is a spec I'm going to pick for karmic), we couldn't come up with anything better that didn't require predepends or horrid horrid abuses of stuff22:15
mcasadevalllool, works fine on -Os, I just need to add the other two flags. No obvious breakages yet, but I haven't stressed tested it to the point I'm fully happy (generally I'm going to toss it into a chroot then rebuild the base system and if that passes I'll feel its safe enough to toss in achroot)22:15
loolmcasadevall: is there a way to override this addition altogether?22:16
mcasadevalllool, yeah, you can turn it off via an environment variable, or via /etc/lpia-wrapper.conf22:16
loolglibc doesn't build with -Os for instance22:16
loolmcasadevall: ok; great; happy to pursue the other enhanements as specs then22:16
loolmcasadevall: Please hand it to IS via the ticket I mentionned22:16
mcasadevalllool, ATM, it auto-turns off for the kernel and -O0 which is part of hardening-wrapper's functionality22:16
loolErg22:17
loolHow does it detect kernel?  that's a bit scray22:17
mcasadevalllool, -D_KERNEL_22:17
mcasadevallWhich is what hardening-wrapper also does22:17
loolOk22:18
mcasadevallI'll nip this one in the bud tonight, because this weekend likely going to be a complete loss22:18

ograany luck ?22:18
mcasadevallDidn't get to this, and because I'm kinda transitory this week with LCDs, someone else should take it22:18
mcasadevallelse carry over22:19
ograwell, its unlikely to work, but given that i'll do more install tests before final i'll give it a try once22:19

MootBotNew Topic:  ogra nd NCOmmander to post backtraces of #328167 for upstream22:19
ograhavent gotten to that, but i saw you did :)22:20
loolNot sure what the default kvm res is, but it seems close to 800x600 and I saw usplash there22:20
mcasadevallI posted a full backtrace, writeup, and repeating instructions including our workaround, and the steps leading up to it22:20
mcasadevallI've also offered remote root to any developer who wants to try and fix this on my Babbage, no takers :-/22:20
ogralool, its the hardcoded nature of the frambuffer itself ...22:20
ograyou cant vary much, i played a lot with fbset this week22:20
mcasadevallWell, usplash is supposed to work with /dev/fb0 or /dev/*whatever vesa uses*22:21
lool640x48022:21
mcasadevallThe former regressed at some point AFAIK22:21
loolAFAIK it hardcodes vesa usage nowadays22:21
ograright, but it requires that this works at certain modelines which the driver doesnt match is my assumption22:21
mcasadevalllool, ewww22:21
mcasadevallIsn't usplash going away for karmic though?22:22
loolShould be replaced by plymouth, not sure whether it's karmic22:22

loologra: It's KMS; KMS could very well work on fb22:23
loolSince it's all abstracted by the kernel22:23
ograi thought it needs driver support22:23
loologra: it needs driver support in the kernel22:24
ograright22:24
ograand we have a driver that doesnt even support a different resolution22:24
