| wgrant | dholbach: The buildds are broken because of this, so a buildd admin will need to manually build coreutils. | 06:19 |

| cjwatson | doing manual builds requires, basically, shutting down the buildds, constructing a faked-up chroot which will do what you want, poking that into the buildds, letting through the one package you want, and then setting the chroots back the way they were and restarting builds | 09:55 |
| cjwatson | the actual technical privileges required are in the intersection of ubuntu-archive and launchpad-buildd-admins, but in the general case you need direct shell access to the buildds too in order to construct proper chroots | 09:55 |
| cjwatson | in theory (e.g.) I could probably manage it, but I much prefer to leave it to Adam | 09:56 |

| hile | hmmh, a question about old releases, I had /dev/scd0 in fstab from old install for cdrom - I guess this was added there by some older version of ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| hile | I don't think I have added these myself, anyway there is a problem starting with jaunty with this | 10:22 |
| hile | problem is that sound-juicer and some other CD applications process this line and fail to eject the cdrom, because now my /dev/cdrom symlink really points to /dev/sr0 | 10:23 |
| hile | changing the device name to sr0 fixed the problem... | 10:23 |
| hile | so, is ubuntu supposed to fix this line during upgrades? maybe I have re-indented it or something and broken the change in upgrade if it's supposed to be done... | 10:24 |
| cjwatson | update-manager probably ought to adjust it, but I didn't think the device name was meant to be sr0 | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | 50-udev-default.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="scd%n", GROUP="cdrom" | 10:31 |
| tjaalton | pitti: upstream would probably want to know about the bug | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | (so actually ignore my comment about update-manager, I typed that before checking the udev rules) | 10:31 |
| tjaalton | pitti: so, bugs.fd.o | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | I think you should investigate why /dev/scd0 is not present on your system. Have you changed udev rules? | 10:32 |
| pitti | tjaalton: good, will forward it there then; thanks | 10:32 |
| tjaalton | pitti: yep, thanks | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | or is it just that applications refuse to handle it if it doesn't match the /dev/cdrom symlink? in which case perhaps it is a bug in those applications | 10:33 |
| hile | I have scd0, but /dev/cdrom points directly to /dev/sr0 | 10:36 |
| hile | I was getting errors from gvfs regarding this, it was quite hard to track it the fstab :) | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | I'd venture to suggest that it's an application bug if they don't like that then | 10:38 |
| cjwatson | if it's the same device ... | 10:38 |
| hile | basically gvfs was saying (without the device name) error 'this is not a volume' | 10:38 |
| cjwatson | linux/Documentation/devices.txt says "The prefix /dev/sr (instead of /dev/scd) has been deprecated." | 10:38 |
| cjwatson | so I don't think we should use it | 10:38 |
| hile | but /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr0 anyway | 10:39 |
| hile | and yeah, nautilus and gnome-mount were happy to unmount /dev/cdrom, sound-juicer and brasero do not work | 10:40 |
| n0yd | Any idea when this might be fixed? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/350695 | 10:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 350695 in linux "Linksys WUSB100 not enabled by rt2870 driver." [Undecided,Confirmed] | 10:41 |
| n0yd | I looked on the kernel bugzilla, couldn't find a bug there for it, so I added one. | 10:41 |
| hile | i guess it really is application problem, just wondering how sound-juicer/brasero use gvfs differently from nautilus | 10:42 |
| cjwatson | hile: sure, but it's all the same device (and it's probably much easier to write udev rules so that the symlinks come out that way). If I were you I'd be filing bugs on sound-juicer and brasero. | 10:43 |
| hile | sure, I'll do that, just wanted to make sure it's not a screwup I have caused somehow myself | 10:44 |
| cjwatson | hile: doesn't look like it, on the face of it | 10:45 |
| n0yd | That bug I posted also han't been fixed in the karmic kernel either | 10:46 |
| cjwatson | pitti: could you please not have https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/karmic/hal/ubuntu in the source package branch namespace? I pretty firmly believe that only full-tree branches should be in that namespace | 10:54 |
| cjwatson | (and I said this yesterday and I didn't see you objecting then ...) | 10:54 |
| cjwatson | pitti: if you give us some time, we may be able to come up with a way to glue your history into a full-tree branch; we discussed this at UDS | 10:55 |
| pitti | cjwatson: okay, I'll move it back then | 10:55 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 10:56 |
| pitti | (not that it would be any more appropriate against the upstream project FWIW) | 10:56 |
| cjwatson | no, but at least it's existing inappropriateness | 10:56 |
| pitti | deleted | 10:57 |
| cjwatson | once we have source package branches for everything I want it to be an invariant that we can point people at those branches and they can see all the code we ship | 10:57 |
| cjwatson | even if those aren't the branches we actually develop against for the time being | 10:57 |

| rcmorano | pitti: u around? | 11:06 |
| pitti | rcmorano: hi | 11:06 |
| rcmorano | yo :] | 11:06 |
| rcmorano | im looking into a gdm-guest-session bug | 11:06 |
| rcmorano | ive found that it applies a apparmor profile which disallows the guest user to execute files in /tmp/** | 11:07 |
| rcmorano | so, for example, in my case, .desktops in Desktop/ | 11:08 |
| rcmorano | are not rendered (no icon, not trusted -> can not be executed) | 11:08 |
| pitti | rcmorano: right | 11:09 |
| rcmorano | well, i forgot to mention that guest user homedir is created in /tmp | 11:09 |
| rcmorano | although i think u already know hehe | 11:09 |
| rcmorano | so... i wanted to know if that's a security issue | 11:09 |
| rcmorano | or just a deeper bug | 11:09 |
| rcmorano | (guest user could not execute anything inside of his home) | 11:09 |
| pitti | rcmorano: when I wrote the AA profile, I just included the minimum privs to get the session up and running, and use the installed programs | 11:10 |
| pitti | running guests' own code wasn't amongst those | 11:10 |
| rcmorano | aha | 11:10 |
| pitti | but I guess it's easy to circumvent anyway, and guest doesn't have many privs, so I wouldn't mind adding /tmp/** x | 11:11 |
| rcmorano | yeh, ive tried 'ix' and worked right | 11:12 |
| rcmorano | just wanted to know if i should file a bug from the point of view of ".desktops are not rendered" or "guest user can not execute a shit" | 11:12 |
| rcmorano | hehe | 11:12 |
| rcmorano | if you think it's ok to allow guest user to execute things i can open a bug about this issue | 11:13 |
| pitti | rcmorano: if you change /etc/apparmor.d/gdm-guest-session | 11:14 |
| pitti | /tmp/** rwlkm, | 11:14 |
| pitti | to | 11:14 |
| pitti | /tmp/** rwlkmx, | 11:14 |
| pitti | rcmorano: does it work then? | 11:14 |
| pitti | rcmorano: right, please report a bug | 11:14 |
| rcmorano | there is no 'x' flag | 11:14 |
| rcmorano | ive tried 'ix' | 11:14 |
| rcmorano | and 'ux' (which threw me a warning about security risks) | 11:15 |
| rcmorano | im not very familiar to apparmor | 11:15 |
| rcmorano | i just tried to add any +x permissions | 11:15 |
| rcmorano | :] | 11:15 |
| pitti | rcmorano: right, sorry; ix is fine | 11:15 |
| rcmorano | oke :D | 11:15 |
| pitti | ux is a no-no | 11:15 |
| rcmorano | yeh i supposed hehe | 11:16 |
| rcmorano | many thanks mate | 11:16 |
| rcmorano | gonna report it :]! | 11:16 |
| ogra | mmm, kms is noce :) | 11:18 |
| ogra | *nice | 11:18 |
| pitti | ogra: pure love, isn't it? :-) | 11:18 |
| ogra | yeah, finally my gdm comes up in the right resolution on the external monitor | 11:19 |
| rcmorano | it's so beatiful :] | 11:19 |
| ogra | though i didnt see any change in usplash | 11:19 |
| ogra | hmm, dropping the resolution settings from usplash.conf gets it right on shutdown, but not during boot | 11:25 |
| ogra | i guess it first detects the internal display ... | 11:25 |
| cjwatson | right, I was just about to try something similar | 11:26 |
| pitti | I just disabled usplash, we can't start it in the initramfs any more anyway with KMS | 11:26 |
| cjwatson | surely one needs to ensure that i915 is there before usplash starts - and that, I think, is sort of conditional on Keybuk's plans to move usplash out of the initramfs | 11:26 |
| cjwatson | or at least sometimes out of the initramfs. I think we still need it in the initramfs for live CD boots | 11:26 |
| ogra | my initramfs is still around for more than 10s | 11:27 |
| cjwatson | well, considering that Keybuk hasn't started uploading work to slim it down yet ... :) | 11:27 |
| ogra | there is no kernel driver for the builtin touchscreen, it always takes a while to notice | 11:27 |
| ogra | which means udev hangs scanning for a while, i think we'll see that on other unknown devices too and should have a fallback for that case | 11:29 |
| cjwatson | we are going to have a fallback for cases where a bigger initramfs with usplash is necessary | 11:30 |
| cjwatson | that's already been discussed and agreed | 11:30 |
| ogra | ah, good | 11:30 |
| cjwatson | exactly when we do that fallback is I think less critical | 11:30 |
| ogra | i sadly missed that session | 11:30 |
| cjwatson | but we know that we need it for things like dm-crypt | 11:30 |

| cjwatson | so, actually, those builds might well still fail ... | 15:09 |
| cjwatson | what you need to do to reproduce this is to try the build in a chroot with only main enabled, not universe | 15:09 |
| LaserJock | anybody know anything about libgnet ? | 15:10 |
| mterry | cjwatson: Ah! That makes sense | 15:10 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| LaserJock | it looks like gnet was in Main through Hardy and then got demoted for Intrepid | 15:12 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: does ubuntu-archive keep track of why things are demoted? | 15:13 |
| cjwatson | LaserJock: no, it's basically always just because nothing depends on it any more so there's not much to keep track of | 15:14 |
| slangasek | right, the record is kept either in the seed commit log or in the changelog of the package that stopped depending on it | 15:15 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: right, makes sense. So do I need a full MIR to get it back in or is a simple bug enough? | 15:15 |
| LaserJock | or can I just upload something that deps on it | 15:16 |
| LaserJock | the latest Debian version of gcompris depends on libgnet-dev so I wasn't sure if I should just merge and fix the FTBFS later or try to get gnet promoted first | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | I think a simple bug's probably enough, with a note that it used to be in main | 15:18 |
| slangasek | LaserJock: that's for the MIR team to decide anyway, so simplest is to open a bug that just says "it was in main before and we want to bring it back", then subscribe ubuntu-mir and see what they say | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | (subscribe ~ubuntu-archive) | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | oh, opposite viewpoints :) | 15:18 |
| slangasek | well, we agree on "simple bug" :) | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | subscribing ~ubuntu-mir is the conservative approach and is definitely fine | 15:18 |
| LaserJock | ok, cool, thanks guys | 15:19 |

| lamont | cjwatson: can we turn the world back on? | 15:28 |
| lamont | my karmic chroot upgraded to 7.4-2 without whining | 15:29 |
| cjwatson | yep, mine too | 15:29 |
| * ion_ tests... yeah, works </metoo> | 15:30 | |
| ion_ | Do buildds have to do such automatic upgrades that may put them into a broken state? How about aptitude safe-upgrade, with an admin running a manual full-upgrade every once in a while? I’m sure there are reasons that wouldn’t work, though. | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | I think it's best overall for them to be current, yes | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | instances such as this are rare | 15:33 |
| ion_ | Yeah, that’s true | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | and in fact the last case where we had to recover manually wouldn't have been prevented by your scheme | 15:33 |
| ion_ | A snapshotting filesystem and automatic rollback if things break? :-) | 15:33 |
| dholbach | mvo: ^ tell ion_ about your new idea :) | 15:34 |
| LaserJock | james_w: around? | 15:35 |
| wgrant | Couldn't 7.4-1 have been removed, the previous version copied back in, 7.4-2 uploaded, and everything resolved pretty quickly without nasty chroot mangling? | 15:35 |
| james_w | LaserJock: yup | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | ion_: I'd like to keep the buildds simple :) | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | wgrant: maybe, but we'd have to circumvent strict rules about going backwards | 15:37 |
| ion_ | A snapshotting filesystem, an automatic snapshot before each upgrade, and a *manual* rollback by admin if things break? :-P | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | ion_: you know that the buildd filesystem is unpacked afresh from a tarball for every build, right? | 15:38 |
| wgrant | cjwatson: And you didn't have to circumvent strict rules about changing buildds to manual, altering chroots, and manually dispatching builds (assuming that the exception wasn't already made for this sort of case)? | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | wgrant: the rules are in different places | 15:38 |
| robbiew | cjwatson: i figured it was too late in our cycle to jump to eglibc...since I also don't recall any decision being made | 15:38 |
| slangasek | and anyway, that wouldn't change the fact that the resulting snapshotted buildd would have other stale packages, which is something we want to avoid | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | wgrant: the procedure for this sort of thing is pretty well-established | 15:39 |
| ion_ | cjwatson: Ah, ok. | 15:39 |
| wgrant | cjwatson: I guess so. | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | robbiew: hmm, ok | 15:39 |
| robbiew | cjwatson: i'm happy to...if we feel it's reasonably safe, though | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | well, I do, but I know there is disagreement | 15:40 |
| slangasek | if maintainers wouldn't upload Essential packages in a broken state, we wouldn't have to worry about broken chroots so much anyway ;) | 15:40 |
| robbiew | cjwatson: right...and I can't recall where that thread ended up | 15:40 |
| slangasek | robbiew: down a rathole, as usual :) | 15:40 |
| cjwatson | stalled, I think. I do have some sympathy for the view that with doko doing other things this cycle maybe it isn't the ideal time to switch over; I would like to make sure that we have some practical way to merge bug-fixes from Debian when we need to though | 15:41 |
| robbiew | right....and doing it now, versus a potential LTS release makes sense | 15:41 |
| slangasek | if the switch is what it's supposed to be, I don't see any reason release-wise to consider it "too late" to switch | 15:42 |
| robbiew | hmmm | 15:42 |
| slangasek | since it's effectively a packaging change, not pulling in a major new upstream version of a toolchain package or anything | 15:42 |
| cjwatson | I see it much more likely to be a PR issue than an operational one, myself | 15:42 |
| robbiew | well...hmm | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | a lot of people are worried about things that (on investigation) I think have been accounted for | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | but the eglibc upstream folks aren't great at describing what they're doing | 15:43 |
| azeem | certainly being able to remove large parts of glibc for the installer might be nice | 15:45 |
| azeem | but yeah, the way Debian communicated it wasn't perfect, combined with a low-profile upstream | 15:46 |
| cjwatson | azeem: I'm not even bothered about that | 15:48 |
| cjwatson | I mean, I don't hugely object, although I shudder slightly at the idea of some of the bug reports it might generate so actually I'd sort of rather the C library weren't stripped down for the installer | 15:49 |
| calc | pitti: does using apport-collect on a bug append a bug tag 'apport-package' or something like that to it? | 15:51 |
| robbiew | cjwatson: slangasek: we have the release meeting coming up...should we discuss the eglibc there? or is that just making the rat hole bigger? | 15:51 |
| calc | pitti: i'm trying to write a script that can automatically process my bug queue :) | 15:52 |
| azeem | I thought Ubuntu sets the toolchain one release in advance; is this about karmic or karmic+1? | 15:52 |
| slangasek | robbiew: I think that's just going to lead to bikeshedding | 15:52 |
| slangasek | azeem: karmic | 15:52 |
| azeem | k | 15:52 |
| slangasek | as I said, I dispute that this constitutes a "toolchain" change that we need to worry about the impact of :) | 15:53 |
| azeem | it might get some media attention though - even the Debian move got much more attention than aurel32 would've dreamt about | 15:54 |
| azeem | (or wanted) | 15:54 |
| azeem | like Canonical vs. RedHat or something | 15:54 |
| robbiew | slangasek: yeah...figured | 15:56 |
| slangasek | azeem: how naive of him ;) | 15:56 |
| * robbiew considers making "the call"... | 15:57 | |

| cjwatson | asac: xulrunner-1.9 seems to have grown by a megabyte from .0.8 to .0.10 - do you know why? | 17:13 |
| slangasek | I looked at the coreutils growth when I noticed it; turns out each of the umpteen million utilities grew in size by a block :P | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | I can probably do something about man-d | 17:18 |

| slangasek | bah, why is openoffice.org-l10n-en-za now 8.8MB instead of 384K? | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | I was just about to say! | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | calc: ^- | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | Changed: openoffice.org-l10n-en-za 8564K | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | 3.0.1-9ubuntu2 378K | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | 3.1.0-3ubuntu2 8942K | 17:19 |
| calc | ah crap, looking into that now | 17:43 |
| calc | looks like en-za has more stuff localized now, looking to see what was in 3.0.1 now | 17:45 |
| calc | is there an easy way to do a file size comparison for a whole deb? | 17:49 |
| calc | er side by side file size comparison | 17:49 |
| calc | so en-za was installed size 5488 size 387750 for jaunty and is now installed size 16080 size 9157472 for karmic, the installed size roughly doubled but the compressed size went way up | 17:50 |
| calc | for other langs such as -de it was already huge for the compressed size, so i am not sure what was going on with it being so tiny for the en-za on jaunty | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | calc: easy way> if you find one let me know :-) | 17:52 |
| calc | cjwatson: heh ok | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | calc: there aren't any extra files in there then? it's just extra translations? | 17:53 |
| calc | cjwatson: i think so, not quite sure what happened | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | calc: how many of the localisations are just identical to the original text? | 17:53 |
| calc | cjwatson: it doesn't look like there are things that shouldn't be there from just looking at dpkg -L | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | calc: we had that problem for en_US once and instituted some specialised filtering | 17:53 |
| calc | other languages like -de were already roughly the size en-za is now for compressed size | 17:54 |
| calc | already in jaunty i mean | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | specifically http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-langpack/langpack-o-matic/main/annotate/head%3A/bin/msgequal.c | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | for 8MB, it might be worth trying to see if e.g. it could depend on en-us and symlink ... | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | or something like that | 17:56 |
| calc | ah i think i see what the issue is | 17:56 |
| slangasek | in fact, the en-us stuff appears to be in -common | 17:56 |
| calc | yea i think whatever was doing the symlinks went away | 17:56 |
| calc | so the templates caused the file size explosion | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | aha | 17:57 |
| calc | it probably got dropped due to the directory name changing, i'll have to dig around in the rules and see what happened | 18:03 |
| calc | with each new release ooo changes its basis dir name | 18:04 |
| calc | there is a link dir that i might be able to use to link to instead which if that is problem with cause it not to recur | 18:04 |

| calc | cjwatson: does en-za hit the cd? i assume this is an alpha 2 blocker? | 18:28 |
| slangasek | it does hit the CD | 18:28 |
| calc | cjwatson: if so i can try to get it done by monday night for a2 freeze | 18:28 |
| calc | slangasek: ok | 18:28 |
| slangasek | it may not be an a2 blocker, but it would be nice to have this done | 18:28 |
| calc | slangasek: i'll get it done, if you haven't seen an upload by monday ping me again | 18:28 |
| slangasek | ok, cheers :) | 18:28 |
| * calc will be out most of the day tomorrow, but should have time to work on it on sunday | 18:28 | |
| calc | i can turn on l10n export to rosetta finally as well (i think), upstream fixed that issue shortly after my last upload | 18:29 |
| calc | i'll make sure to actually test it works before uploading though, heh | 18:29 |
| calc | it takes 2hr to do a build without l10n export vs ~ 6hr with it so i normally don't do l10n export testing | 18:30 |
| slangasek | mterry: binary packages should not generally need MIRs at all; my understanding is that the MIR review is done source-wise | 18:30 |
| === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn | ||
| mterry | slangasek: I asked in #ubuntu-motu and superm1 indicated that it is per-binary | 18:31 |
| slangasek | hmm | 18:31 |
| slangasek | as an archive admin, I don't believe that's true in practice :) | 18:31 |
| mterry | slangasek: He gave lirc as an example. And I'm giving python-gnome2-extras as an example. :) | 18:32 |
| slangasek | mterry: well, *especially* in this case, it's clear to me that no MIR is needed | 18:33 |
| slangasek | since it's simply a binary package split of stuff already in main | 18:33 |
| mterry | Right | 18:33 |
| mterry | Sometimes ya'll like your formality though :) | 18:34 |
| slangasek | so this is already on the component-mismatches report under "binary only promotions", which I routinely act on without even looking for an MIR bug | 18:34 |
| slangasek | as for the referenced build failure, I think deskbar-applet should be updated to not rely on the transitional dummy package | 18:35 |
| mterry | Guh! So you have a special "binary only promotions" page and you weren't sure if inclusion was per-binary? | 18:35 |
| mterry | slangasek: Agreed | 18:35 |
| slangasek | mterry: "weren't sure if"? | 18:35 |
| mterry | slangasek: Ah. You were talking about the *review* being source-wise | 18:36 |
| slangasek | yes | 18:36 |
| slangasek | so if the source is in main, as an archive admin I don't look for other paperwork before resolving the binaries on components-mismatches | 18:37 |
| mterry | Alright, I'll see about filing a debian bug about the deskbar-applet thing I guess | 18:37 |
| mterry | slangasek: Sure. So I won't file binary-only inclusion bugs in future, I'll just poke you if it's urgent. | 18:37 |
| slangasek | sounds good :) | 18:37 |
| slangasek | binaries promoted, in this case | 18:37 |
| slangasek | so I think you can close that bug | 18:37 |
| mterry | k | 18:38 |
| cjwatson | mterry: poke the archive admin of the day for preference, though; http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveAdministration | 18:40 |
| mterry | slangasek: Hmm, curiously, deskbar-applet is requesting the python-gnome2-extras-dbg package which tries to pull in the rest. The -dbg package seems to intentionally not be split up. So I guess there's no work to do | 18:41 |
| slangasek | mterry: ah, ok | 18:41 |
| cjwatson | gah, somebody NBSed libdirectfb-1.0-0-udeb without checking for reverse-dependencies | 18:41 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: would help if the NBS reports actually showed udeb revdeps :/ | 18:41 |
| cjwatson | though ... was just about to say that | 18:41 |
| cjwatson | I can fix that one | 18:41 |
| mterry | cjwatson: Fascinating wiki page. That explains why jdstrand is pushing all my syncs in today | 18:42 |
