| lool | pitti: syncing > libipc-sharelite-perl -- no objection from me; NCommander, ogra: if you are tempted to check first whether the new upstream versions passes on armel... | 00:20 |
| NCommander | lool, it should have gotten synced automagicially | 00:21 |
| NCommander | lool, we were using build vs. ubuntu in the version string | 00:21 |
| lool | NCommander: libipc-sharelite-perl | 0.13-1ubuntu1 | jaunty | source, amd64, i386 | 00:24 |
| lool | NCommander: I don't think so | 00:24 |
| lool | NCommander: there was a sourceful change to disable the testsuite on armel | 00:25 |
| lool | or ignore it | 00:25 |
| NCommander | lool, I thought we did a buildX for that, or at least that was how we originally disabled it | 00:25 |
| lool | NCommander: So feel free to check the testsuite of the new version for Martin | 00:28 |

| TheMuso | pitti: sorry I thought dtchen had backported the hal/udev migration stuff for pulse, but he hasn't. As it is, its still somewhat broken regarding ACLs, so I think we wait till its totally fixed upstream before backporting. | 01:51 |

| calc | ugh the OOo build is taking a lot longer than i expected, must have been too much churn to cache anything :\ | 05:37 |
| nixternal | pitti: hey, I just spent the past hour looking over the apport interactive-hooks and I have gone ahead and added the Qt4 support for it. I pushed it to ~nixternal/apport/interactive-hooks - tested it with pmount successfully | 05:37 |
| * calc will look at it in the morning and see if it worked out | 05:37 | |
| * calc heads off to bed :-\ | 05:37 | |

| ajmitch | nixternal: that was quick work | 05:41 |
| nixternal | ajmitch: the only way to work :) | 05:45 |

| slangasek | calc: ummm, if there's that much churn, then is the OOo-l10n you're planning to upload appropriate for upload the Tuesday of a milestone? | 06:29 |
| calc | slangasek: churn in the libraries OOo uses that caused my build not to be sufficiently cached to build in the time i expected it to | 06:55 |
| calc | slangasek: wrt ccache | 06:55 |
| slangasek | calc: ok, but not extensive source changes :) | 06:55 |

| * calc really goes to bed now | 06:56 | |

| nixternal | I am not either, facebook is evil! | 08:26 |
| dholbach | that looks crazy :) | 08:26 |
| nixternal | heh, it is somewhat portable too...gonna have to bring that all Ubuntu Chicago events now | 08:27 |
| loic-m | nixternal: I saw a video of that a few years ago | 08:31 |
| loic-m | but it was more impressive - they had two people playing music on the table together | 08:32 |
| loic-m | and it was electro, but the music they acheived was impressive | 08:32 |
| nixternal | loic-m: yes, and that one, which is from the netherlands == closed source | 08:32 |
| nixternal | rj did it all open source | 08:32 |
| nixternal | he just started working on that thing the past couple of weeks of being home from school | 08:33 |
| loic-m | Like 70s-early eighties experimental electronic music that became great modern music in less than a minute ;) | 08:33 |
| loic-m | nixternal: the one i saw was open source, i checked at the time | 08:33 |
| loic-m | it's actually the same thing AFAIK, the video you link to use the same pictograms | 08:34 |
| loic-m | I downloaded the code, but without the table there wasn't much use fot it ;) | 08:34 |
| loic-m | about one or two years ago | 08:35 |
| nixternal | ya, this is designed after the reactable which isn't open source...watching videos on that now..the guy is good with the music | 08:36 |
| wgrant | ubuntu-devel-discuss seems to be getting a bit out of hand. | 08:36 |
| nixternal | ahh, the object recognition is open source | 08:37 |
| loic-m | http://mtg.upf.es/reactable/?software | 08:37 |

| dpm | * pitti: On the first issue, I think he is not describing a problem, but just noticing the difference between 'delta' and 'base' langpacks | 08:45 |
| dpm | * pitti: On the second question, howcome there is no Jaunty -base package in the PPA archive? (https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-langpack/+archive/ppa/+index?field.name_filter=es&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=jaunty) | 08:46 |
| dpm | * pitti: Finally, I can reproduce the problem with Firefox: using the latest PPA it appears untranslated. What's the best way to report this? As a bug against langpack-o-matic? Or against some other package and subscribe Language Pack Builders? | 08:46 |
| pitti | nixternal: apport-qt works wonderfully now. thanks! | 08:46 |
| pitti | dpm: will get back to you in a bit | 08:47 |
| dpm | pitti: thanks | 08:47 |

| nixternal | err, not announce :) | 08:53 |
| pitti | *phew* :) | 08:53 |
| Hobbsee | nixternal: just filter it. problem solved. | 08:53 |
| nixternal | ctrl+r in mutt calls my "read all" macro, so I am good :) | 08:56 |
| nixternal | heh, these people screaming "MONO!" are the some of the same people who have complained on the forums, mailing lists, and bug reports about Flash not working | 09:02 |
| nixternal | some of these* | 09:02 |
| nixternal | would be fun to have an aprils fools release that is nothing but free software, close down multiverse and restricted and see who complains then ;p | 09:03 |
| dholbach | nixternal: and remove all the patented code! | 09:03 |
| nixternal | that would be fun | 09:04 |
| nixternal | I like how I can install free software only from the disc...I tried it out and all of my machines worked like a charm...talk about luck | 09:04 |
| dholbach | I think I only need a stupid piece of firmware for my scanner | 09:06 |
| nixternal | I don't even need that..HP PSC 1610 all-in-one | 09:06 |
| nixternal | works out of the box | 09:06 |
| dholbach | but I got that from the stupid driver CD anyway | 09:06 |
| loic-m | dholbach> nixternal: and remove all the patented code! > like the Linux kernel :D | 09:06 |
| dholbach | nice | 09:06 |
| nixternal | throw in hurd | 09:07 |
| loic-m | probably half of it will be "infringing" other patents as well | 09:07 |
| pitti | nixternal: "#FIXME: Need to finish this up" -> is that an actual issue? | 09:07 |
| nixternal | heh, forgot to remove that | 09:07 |
| nixternal | tis what I get for working in vim...trying to get used to it | 09:08 |
| loic-m | The only way a piece of code isn't "infriging" on patents is if it's not successful. Let every hardware maker support ogg on their media players, and it will be facing patent threats as well | 09:08 |
| nixternal | I have become so reliable on eclipse for everything (10+ years with it probably) | 09:08 |

| NCommander | pitti, when someone uses apport on SPARC, then I'll set one up | 09:23 |
| NCommander | and as I'm the only one to use apport on ia64, it would be oddly serve serving | 09:23 |
| pitti | NCommander: FYI, we have 3 need-sparc-retrace and 0 need-ia64-retrace | 09:24 |
| NCommander | we do? | 09:24 |
| pitti | one in hal, one in gnash, one in firefox | 09:24 |
| pitti | NCommander: you can't see them, they are only visible to the apport user | 09:24 |
| NCommander | Oh | 09:25 |
| NCommander | I did send that firefox one | 09:25 |
| directhex | i still need to look at apport support for mono apps | 09:25 |

| NCommander | I'm surprised I can't see them | 09:25 |
| directhex | anyway, minibus time | 09:25 |
| NCommander | pitti, the firefox one is still revelent :-/ | 09:25 |
| NCommander | I can still trip that one easily on SPARC | 09:25 |
| NCommander | pitti, so when apport files a bug, what is it filed against so I can't see it even if I'm in bugsquad | 09:27 |
| pitti | NCommander: it's private, and only visible to reporter and apport | 09:27 |
| NCommander | pitti, maybe I'm loosing it, but I thought the bug supervisor could see private bugs filed against a project | 09:29 |
| pitti | NCommander: the triaging team can see the retraced ones | 09:29 |
| pitti | NCommander: since they usually have their coredumps deleted | 09:29 |
| NCommander | No, that i know, I'm in that group | 09:30 |
| NCommander | pitti, what I'm not getting is how you can have a bug against the Ubuntu distribution which isn't visible to the bug supervisor | 09:34 |

| NCommander | Hobbsee, you can see the three bugs that are needs-space-retrace/ | 09:41 |
| siretart` | Hobbsee: Is there something confidential discussed/published there? | 09:41 |
| lifeless | Hobbsee: do we have a membership-board meeting tonight? | 09:42 |
| Hobbsee | siretart`: I thought it was just a general question, so i'm not sure. Perhaps i've missed some context while studying. | 09:42 |

| siretart` | let's ask Keybuk | 09:42 |
| Hobbsee | NCommander: if i could find where they're listed, i'll check | 09:43 |
| lifeless | Hobbsee: I know you're not. | 09:43 |
| siretart` | Keybuk: could the ubuntu-boot list be published on gmane? - it seems that it is currently restricted to members of ubuntu-qa... | 09:43 |
| NCommander | Hobbsee, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=need-sparc-retrace | 09:43 |
| lifeless | Hobbsee: I am <confused> apparently though. | 09:43 |
| Hobbsee | lifeless: okay? *is now more confused* | 09:44 |
| Keybuk | siretart`: I don't see why not | 09:45 |
| Hobbsee | NCommander: hm, i can't see that. | 09:45 |
| NCommander | Hobbsee, yeah, but I can see the powerpc retracing bugs (and I saw them get processed watching apport's logs0 | 09:46 |
| Hobbsee | NCommander: very strange | 09:46 |
| siretart` | Keybuk: since it does not look publicly subscribable (you need and lp account that is member of ubuntu-qa or some subteam), hooking up to gmane seems hard atm | 09:46 |
| pitti | cjwatson: does http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20090607/karmic-desktop-i386.manifest tell us that it doesn't use grub2 yet? | 09:46 |
| NCommander | Hobbsee, that's why I don't understand why I can't see them :-/ | 09:47 |
| \sh | hmm...when does update-grub or better ucf create an menu.lst.ucf-dist in /var/run/grub ? | 09:47 |
| Keybuk | siretart`: you'd need to talk to an LP team guy about that | 09:47 |
| Hobbsee | lifeless: based on fridge, apparently you do have a meeting. But i'm still not sure why you're asking me :) | 09:48 |
| lifeless | Hobbsee: yes, as I said I was confused :) | 09:48 |
| siretart` | Keybuk: since I don't think I have time to become active on ubuntu-boot, I'd rather not invest time in that. I would have lurked on the list if it was on gmane, though. | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | pitti: maybe it ought to be changed, but grub-pc is available as a .deb on the live CD as well and it will use that | 09:52 |
| cjwatson | \sh: ages | 09:52 |
| cjwatson | \sh: or do you not mean "since when"? | 09:52 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ah, ok | 09:52 |
| \sh | cjwatson: no..."when in the update-grub process does ucf creates an ucf-dist file for menu.lst"...reading update-grub it should only be named /var/run/grub/menu.lst with the kernel list fragment | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | \sh: it's created if you (explicitly or otherwise) chose something other than "install new version of this file"; it's analogous to .dpkg-dist for conffile | 09:54 |
| cjwatson | s | 09:54 |
| \sh | cjwatson: hmm...I install grub and install the kernel...then running update-grub (menu.lst in /boot/grub/ is copied from somewhere to this location during automatical installation) but update-grub doesn't update the kernel list fragment...and in /var/run/grub/ there is still the menu.lst.ucf-dist | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | \sh: why do you care? :-) | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | you're not supposed to care about the existence of .ucf-dist, really | 09:56 |
| \sh | cjwatson: because it's not updating the kernel list in /boot/grub/menu.lst and after my installation is finished I have a grub with no kernel list ;) | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | \sh: oh, well, maybe you answered "no, keep my own version" in the past and it remembered that | 09:57 |
| cjwatson | \sh: ask slangasek when he wakes up | 09:57 |
| \sh | cjwatson: actually I didn't say anything..because there is no debconf questioning during unattended FAI installation ;) | 09:57 |

| james_w | dholbach: they need to be fixed :-) | 09:58 |
| cjwatson | \sh: FSVO "works"; ucf management of menu.lst was introduced for a reason | 09:59 |
| dholbach | james_w: do you know how? | 09:59 |
| james_w | it's a small patch to the package | 09:59 |
| james_w | alternatively you can work around it in the package that uses it | 09:59 |
| cjwatson | \sh: anyway, slangasek should be able to help you recover, I'm afraid I can never quite keep the details straight | 09:59 |
| cjwatson | looking forward to not having to care about this stuff with grub2 | 09:59 |
| james_w | the main issue is checking whether it applies to Debian | 09:59 |
| \sh | cjwatson: k...I'll poke slangasek thx anyways :) | 10:00 |
| directhex | pitti, how does pkg-create-dbgsym behave if a package already has a -dbg defined in control? | 10:00 |
| NCommander | ../linux/arm/syscallent.h:435:3: error: #error fix me - wow, that's not vague :-/ | 10:05 |
| pitti | directhex: it just grabs the debug info without stripping it, so that the following -dbg package creation won't fail | 10:06 |
| pitti | directhex: I have about 3 test cases in pkg-create-dbgsym's test suite to make sure that this mostly works | 10:07 |
| pitti | directhex: does it fail for one of your packages? | 10:07 |
| hyperair | hmm ia32-libs is broken. | 10:08 |
| hyperair | at least, the pulse bits are. | 10:08 |
| hyperair | skype and flash no longer work with pulseaudio | 10:08 |
| directhex | pitti, i'm trying to add support for mono apps (mdb debug symbols), but picked a package with a -dbg as my test case ;) | 10:09 |
| directhex | oh. oops. non-arch-all is the opposite behaviour to what i want! | 10:12 |
| pitti | slangasek: oh, wrt. our UDS discussion about hotkey-setup, I don't need this ominous sleep setting here; no visible difference with hotkey-setup and without | 10:12 |
| jpds | cjwatson: debian/changelog entries added. | 10:12 |
| Keybuk | pitti: devkit-disks is spoiling my bootchart <g> | 10:18 |
| directhex | pitti, hm. can you think of a way for pkg-create-dbgsym to be callable more than once for the same package? that is, some apps (say, Banshee) contain both C libs and mono apps, so both dh_strip and dh_clistrip get called on them. how to deal with that scenario? | 10:25 |
| pitti | Keybuk: because of the additional udev rules? | 10:28 |
| pitti | Keybuk: perhaps we can walk through them and check which ones are redundant? | 10:28 |
| TheMuso | asac: you wanted to talk to me about bluetooth and pulse? | 10:28 |
| Keybuk | pitti: because of the sudden increase in calls to things like blkid | 10:28 |
| Keybuk | I think we're calling it 2-3 times per block device all of a sudden | 10:28 |
| pitti | directhex: I guess these two would not have much in common, since CLI debug symbols look entirely different? | 10:29 |
| pitti | directhex: so they shouldn't get into each other's way? | 10:29 |
| pitti | directhex: do you wan to call them -dbgsym? | 10:29 |
| asac | TheMuso: yeah ;) | 10:29 |
| Keybuk | pitti: I was expecting 0.3s for udev, and got 0.8 | 10:29 |
| pitti | directhex: if so, then I'd suggest to just add it to pkg_create_dbgsym itself | 10:29 |
| directhex | pitti, well, i suppose that's a workaround isn't it - use a different package name for the mdb symbols | 10:29 |
| TheMuso | asac: in short, I don't know where things stand. I need to grab the needed pieces, put them together, and test locally. I got myself a bluetooth headset for this purpose. | 10:30 |
| asac | TheMuso: whats the status of the -sink/-source pieces? | 10:30 |
| asac | ajh ok | 10:30 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I guess dk-disks should not really need to call blkid, since udev does that by default already? | 10:30 |
| Keybuk | pitti: exactly | 10:30 |
| directhex | pitti, the problem is that dh_strip and dh_clistrip get called separately, so pkg_create_dbgsym gets called by both of those (or a replacement tool for the mono version gets called) | 10:31 |
| pitti | directhex: right, we shuold just integrate it there instead of having yet another package, IMHO | 10:31 |
| pitti | directhex: it's also much easier to write, I guess | 10:31 |
| * pitti reboots, brb | 10:31 | |
| asac | TheMuso: do your tests with gnome-bluetooth and not bluez-gnome (which will go away) | 10:31 |
| TheMuso | asac: give me a day at most to get things tested, and I'll get back to you. | 10:31 |
| TheMuso | asac: I know about that. | 10:32 |
| asac | TheMuso: great. lets talk tomorrow then. | 10:32 |

| ogra | asac, help, my FF shows me cryptic fonts today | 10:38 |
| asac | ogra: #ubuntu+1 :-P | 10:40 |
| asac | ogra: just kidding | 10:40 |
| asac | ogra: what changed since yesterday? | 10:40 |
| ogra | nothing | 10:40 |
| ogra | i didnt upgrade or anything | 10:40 |
| Keybuk | ogra: mine's been doing that for weeks | 10:40 |
| asac | screen please | 10:40 |
| Keybuk | seems to do it after suspend | 10:41 |
| Keybuk | so I figured it was some kind of pango cache corruption or something | 10:42 |
| ogra | asac, http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/ff_fonts.png | 10:42 |
| ogra | Keybuk, i didnt suspend | 10:42 |
| Keybuk | ogra: interesting | 10:42 |
| ogra | i did absolutely nothign | 10:42 |
| Keybuk | ogra: your screenshot is exactly what I get too | 10:42 |
| pitti | meh, that reboot took a while; interesting bug in g-p-m | 10:42 |
| ogra | it just started out of the blue | 10:42 |
| asac | wow | 10:43 |
| ogra | i deliberately skipped updates the last two days | 10:43 |
| asac | ogra: what graphics driver/chipset? | 10:43 |
| ogra | intel | 10:43 |
| ogra | using KMS | 10:43 |
| ogra | 8086:2a02 ... GM965/GL960 | 10:44 |
| ogra | i dont see the issue in other programs | 10:44 |
| ogra | and i noticed it gets slightly better if i switch to a windows encoding and andale mono | 10:45 |
| ogra | but i cant make it go away completely | 10:45 |
| asac | let me get my notebook up | 10:45 |
| RAOF | I see that too, but only sometimes. It seems to occur (a) after long idle periods and (b) after resume from suspend. | 10:46 |
| asac | sounds like driver issue then | 10:46 |
| RAOF | Also KMS, intel, GM9something. | 10:46 |
| RAOF | I'd guess so. | 10:46 |
| ogra | but funny that only FF exposes it | 10:46 |
| ogra | evo, different terminals i tried, xchat etc all work fine | 10:47 |
| directhex | pitti, i think it might be best to use a different command, and a different -suffix, for the mono debug symbols. i can't think of a sensible way to overcome the problem caused by pkg_create_dbgsym being called by dh_strip then dh_clistrip (or the other way round), without risking problems. every invocation of pkg_create_dbgsym ends with a call to "dpkg --build", so i can't see how to make sure that --build gets called once only, w | 10:48 |
| directhex | ith both elf symbols and mdb files. | 10:48 |
| * ogra goes to make some coffee | 10:48 | |
| asac | ogra: can you check if using firefox-3.5 makes any difference? | 10:48 |
| RAOF | That's what I was using. | 10:48 |
| ogra | is it in the archive already ? | 10:49 |
| RAOF | I seem to remember it affecting other apps, but not to the same extent as firefox. | 10:49 |
| asac | ogra: yes. since jaunty | 10:49 |
| * ogra installs | 10:49 | |
| asac | ogra: install firefox-3.5 ... the menu entry is called "Shiretoko" and has the old blue planet thing as icon | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | jpds: thanks! | 10:54 |
| asac | ogra: do i need to do something to use KMS? | 10:55 |
| cjwatson | jpds: I have a rewrite of 404main here using python-apt, but it uses some fairly bleeding-edge methods that (AFAICS) weren't in jaunty. Do you think it's fair enough for ubuntu-dev-tools to Depends: python-apt (>= 0.7.9) for this? I'm thinking most developers will either be on karmic already or moving over in the not too distant future | 10:56 |
| ogra | asac, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting | 10:58 |
| jpds | cjwatson: Yeah, I think that would be fine (I don't think anyone wants to backport u-d-t anytime soon). | 10:58 |
| pitti | Keybuk: so dk-disks git head doesn't change any udev rules, FYI | 10:58 |
| asac | ogra: so i need to build the kernel on my own? | 10:59 |
| pitti | directhex: it could still be the same package (pkg-create-dbgsym) | 10:59 |
| pitti | directhex: and you just add another wrapper for dh_clistrip | 10:59 |
| ogra | asac, no, karmic should have all you need | 10:59 |
| ogra | asac, samme behavior with 3.5 btw | 10:59 |
| asac | ogra: so i get that without doing anything? | 10:59 |
| asac | ogra: upgrading now. think last upgrade was 1 week ago or so | 11:00 |
| ogra | asac, create /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf, add "options i915 modeset=1" | 11:00 |
| cjwatson | jpds: ok, cool. committed | 11:00 |
| Keybuk | pitti: I didn't quite get why it has most of the ones it has | 11:01 |
| ogra | (and i would guess you need update-unutramfs -u thougth the wiki doesnt say that) | 11:01 |
| Keybuk | since udev now ships upstream rules, it can rely on them being there | 11:01 |
| Keybuk | even the mdadm/devmapper ones are in udev's tarball now | 11:01 |
| asac | ogra: ok will check after upgrade finishes | 11:01 |
| directhex | pitti, right. i assumed that was the best approach anyway, hence "ii pkg-create-dbgsym 0.26+dhx1 automatically build debug symbol ddeb packages" | 11:01 |
| directhex | pitti, so... any preferences? "-mdbsym"? | 11:01 |
| pitti | directhex: sounds fine :) | 11:01 |

| pitti | ogra: not known to me | 11:03 |
| pitti | ogra: but pretty uninteresting now, that we don't use hal for mounting any more | 11:03 |

| ogra | /dev/sdb on /mnt type vfat (rw) | 11:03 |
| ogra | ok .. | 11:03 |
| pitti | Keybuk: eww, most of those look very familiar to what udev is doing anyway, indeed | 11:03 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I think the only real thing it adds is devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart | 11:05 |
| Keybuk | what does that do? | 11:05 |
| Keybuk | the smart values? | 11:06 |
| ogra | asac, OH ! i just notice that some tabs have proper fonts with 3.5 | 11:06 |
| ogra | well, or at least a lot less errors | 11:06 |
| ogra | there still are some | 11:06 |
| pitti | Keybuk: just DKD_ATA_SMART_IS_AVAILABLE=1 | 11:06 |
| pitti | Keybuk: not the actual values (they are read on demand by dk-disks daemon, when someone requests them over d-bus I guess) | 11:07 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I'm not sure what the ID_DRIVE_FLASH_{MS,SM,SD,CF} stuff is about | 11:07 |
| * asac reboots with kms | 11:08 | |
| asac | ogra: dont see it ... even after resume. will keep my eyes open ;) | 11:16 |
| asac | ogra: curious: does pango-view -t "Test TEXT ... (make it longer)" --backend=cairo | 11:16 |
| asac | show the same problem? | 11:16 |
| ogra | i dont think its actually KMS i would expect to see it in any other apps too if it were a driver prob | 11:16 |
| ogra | nope, looks fine | 11:17 |
| asac | ogra: nah. ffox really uses cairo heavily ... so you will see driver issues in ffox you dont see elsewhere | 11:17 |
| asac | not saying its not a ffox bug. but the symptoms look really driver related | 11:17 |
| ogra | well, FF is the only thing exposing it (yet) ... | 11:18 |
| ogra | i dont say its a FF bug but i only see it with FF :) | 11:18 |
| asac | ogra: yeah. so can you confirm that this starts after resume? and after clean boot it works? | 11:18 |
| asac | (like what RAOF observed) | 11:19 |
| * ogra reboots | 11:19 | |
| pitti | asac: KMS working well for you? | 11:21 |
| asac | pitti: not 100% if its running. i added the modprobe.d thing mentioned by ogra | 11:22 |
| asac | so far things work more or less well | 11:22 |
| asac | even compiz is on again ;) | 11:22 |
| pitti | asac: that's necessary to enable it in the first place | 11:22 |
| pitti | asac: tried suspend/resume? | 11:22 |
| asac | pitti: how can i check that i am using KMS? | 11:22 |
| pitti | asac: ctrl+alt+f1 | 11:22 |
| pitti | if that's blazingly fast and you get a nice big VT, it's working | 11:22 |
| pitti | asac: and check suspend/resume, and if it comes back even faster than you can open the lid, it's working :) | 11:23 |
| asac | pitti: yeah so i am running it | 11:23 |
| ogra | asac, hrm, its gone after reboot | 11:23 |
| asac | and i already have one suspend/resume done after this boot | 11:23 |
| asac | let me do another | 11:23 |
| asac | ogra: thats what RAOF said. now suspend/resume ... if its coming back its 99.99% drier issue | 11:23 |
| pitti | unfortunately suspend is broken for me right now with current xorg-edgers PPA :/ | 11:23 |
| asac | ok i do a three suspend resumes now ;) | 11:24 |
| ogra | hmm, not coming back it seems | 11:25 |
| asac | ;) | 11:25 |
| mpt | Does anyone know what's happening with the video recordings from UDS? | 11:25 |

| directhex | dpkg-deb: building package `libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil-dbgsym' in `../libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil-mdbsym_2.4-1_all.ddeb'. | 12:00 |
| geser | directhex: your pkg_create_dbgsym script is buggy, it creates wrong filenames :) | 12:02 |

| directhex | pitti, okay, assuming we overlook the 2-debug-packages-for-some-apps issue, i have a working implementation for packaging up mono debug symbols. there are therefore 3 issues: 1) most apps/libs will need patching to actually produce debug symbols properly (many miss the creation of, or "make install"ing of .mdb files) 2) do we care about -mdbsym versus -dbgsym? it's messy, but is it a problem? 3) it doesn't work for mono itself, as | 13:00 |
| directhex | mono uses a local copy of debian/dh_clistrip for some reason | 13:00 |
| cjwatson | mvo: hmm, don't merge that yet, I broke the blacklist stuff | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | (fixed) | 13:03 |
| cjwatson | maxb: accepted, belatedly | 13:07 |
| seb128 | directhex: there is not so many applications using it right now, we can patch the build for the few which are shipped by default or interesting | 13:09 |
| directhex | seb128, right. i doubt it's a priority issue until debian stops sucking & gains something like pkg-create-dbgsym. but it's certainly worth fixing ad-hoc | 13:10 |
| directhex | seb128, and the other two points? | 13:10 |
| Brucevdk | Hey dholbach, I saw you were listed as an author for the IndustrialTango theme. I'm having some issues with the border theme when using Compiz as the window manager instead of Metacity (the window icon doesn't work). IndustrialTango seems to be the only theme with issues. Mind if we talk about it here? Maybe there's a more relevant channel, or pm? | 13:10 |
| seb128 | 3 seems easy to patch or figure why it's using a copy | 13:10 |
| directhex | also, seems i need to rebase against the latest version of it, since i was using jaunty's version as a base :/ | 13:10 |
| seb128 | 2 doesn't seem a real issue to me | 13:10 |
| dholbach | Brucevdk: I just packaged it | 13:10 |
| dholbach | Brucevdk: ... ages ago | 13:10 |
| Brucevdk | dholbach: hmm looks like I'm going to have to talk to jdub then | 13:11 |
| dholbach | Brucevdk: is there an AUTHORS file? | 13:11 |
| Brucevdk | dholbach: yeah I was looking at the wrong authors file, the one from the package | 13:11 |
| directhex | seb128, the "why" appears to be "because it doesn't build-depend on cli-common-dev" | 13:11 |
| directhex | seb128, now, that introduces a NEW question :) | 13:11 |
| Brucevdk | dholbach: you were on IRC, hence, me showing up here ;-) | 13:12 |

| pitti | directhex: well, what's your actual goal with -mdbsym? | 13:30 |
| pitti | directhex: e. g. we don't have a sensible mono<->apport integration yet (there's a blueprint, but nothing implemented) | 13:30 |
| directhex | pitti, 2 goals. some apps ship with he mdb files (which wastes space), or just throw away the symbols (which is a waste) or have manually written -dbg (which is a PITA to maintain). it provides a sensible way to store debug symbols for things | 13:32 |
| directhex | pitti, longer term, i want that apport integration | 13:32 |
| pitti | directhex: so for purely manual installation, producing -mdbsym sounds just fine | 13:32 |
| pitti | directhex: longer-term, I think it'd make sense to integrate it into dh_strip, or at least unify pkg-create-dbgsym to hook into both and then produce -dbgsym in whichever comes first, and for both gdb and mdb | 13:33 |
| directhex | pitti, my problem with visualising that has been how to deal with dh_strip and dh_clistrip given different parameters - you only know which parameters both have received on the SECOND call (if there is a second call), not first | 13:35 |
| pitti | directhex: ah, true that | 13:35 |

| AnAnt | will there be a way to determine the current gfxmode resolution ? | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | from where? | 17:51 |
| AnAnt | cjwatson: grub2 | 17:51 |

| cjwatson | it's a variable in grub2 | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | the 'gfxmode' variable, specifically | 17:51 |

| Keybuk | http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/boot-performance/Fedora-11-i686-Live_Dell-Mini9.png | 19:11 |
| mpt | slangasek, is that likely to involve interface changes to s-p-gtk | 19:12 |
| mpt | ? | 19:12 |
| mpt | The multiarch stuff, I mean | 19:12 |
| ogra | Keybuk, sill faster than ubuntu LTSP with unionfs-fuse :P | 19:12 |
| slangasek | mpt: yes; since this is meant to completely supersede ia32-libs and friends, it's important that users have a straightforward way to enable it, and s-p-gtk is the logical place for that to live | 19:14 |
| slangasek | mpt: I'm envisioning a trivial UI, fwiw, just one more checkbox or so ;) | 19:14 |
| mpt | I'm not familiar with ia32-libs, so I'm not clear about why it would need to be enabled or disabled | 19:15 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: I'm meaning to follow up on list as well, but I noticed your analysis of "must do before the desktop" doesn't include the network; that's going to break various enterprise use cases, does that factor into your design somewhere yet? | 19:16 |
| slangasek | mpt: it's needed if a user wants to run any 32-bit binaries on their 64-bit install; skype, wine, etc | 19:16 |
| slangasek | (flash) | 19:16 |
| slangasek | mpt: the alternative to having it in the s-p-gtk UI would seem to be giving users long instructions for mangling /etc/apt/sources.list at the commandline, and that's not really appropriate for ia32-libs' target audience IMHO | 19:17 |
| mpt | slangasek, so if your system if 64-bit but you want to run a 32-bit application, you need to replace some of your installed 64-bit libraries with the 32-bit equivalents? Or install the 32-bit equivalents alongside? | 19:17 |
| slangasek | mpt: alongside | 19:18 |
| mpt | if->is | 19:18 |
| slangasek | ia32-libs is the current, kludgirific way of doing this | 19:18 |
| mpt | slangasek, ok, so what would the option be? | 19:18 |
| slangasek | as in, what would the label say? | 19:18 |
| slangasek | "enable 32-bit software" or "enable 64-bit software", according to the architecture; or something better if you think that's a bad label | 19:19 |
| directhex | slangasek, two f's in kludgeriffic | 19:24 |
| mpt | slangasek, and what would the other choice be? | 19:24 |
| slangasek | mpt: mentioned now at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Migration; in the perfect world, the user would never need to click this because update-manager can take care of it on upgrade | 19:24 |
| slangasek | mpt: the other choice would be to not enable it | 19:24 |
| mpt | slangasek, and what would happen if you didn't? | 19:24 |
| slangasek | you would have access to all the software built for 64-bit Ubuntu, but not access to the packages needed in order to install closed-source 32-bit software | 19:25 |
| mpt | slangasek, ok, so why would someone want to not enable it? | 19:26 |
| === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk | ||
| mpt | (Sorry for these basic questions, this is all to help with the labelling) | 19:26 |
| slangasek | mpt: it doubles the bandwidth cost of an apt-get update because you have to grab two copies of each Packages file | 19:26 |
| slangasek | no worries; I expected that to be the next question :) | 19:27 |
| lajjr | hello pitti. | 19:27 |
| mpt | slangasek, and would that be the only difference? | 19:27 |
| slangasek | mpt: I think that, and possibly some slow-down on apt's own calculations, would be the only material difference users are going to care about | 19:28 |
| slangasek | I could say "you might accidentally pull in a 32-bit package because there's no 64-bit package available", but, er, good then :) | 19:29 |
| slangasek | mpt: I guess I would see this being similar to the fact that we give you the ability to disable downloads from main and universe, but enable them by default | 19:31 |
| mpt | slangasek, so let's say I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu, I have the option turned on, and I download a 32-bit Skype .deb and double-click on it. Will gdebi tell me that I need to install some 32-bit libraries that I already have 64-bit versions of? | 19:31 |
| mpt | Is that how it works? | 19:32 |
| walters | slangasek: is debian going to adopt this plan as well? | 19:32 |
| slangasek | mpt: I've actually never used gdebi; but assuming it's not reinventing the wheel, its behavior should be the same as if you click on a package that has other, 64-bit lib dependencies that need to be installed | 19:33 |
| slangasek | walters: I expect so; we have buy-in from a member of dpkg upstream | 19:33 |
| fta | slangasek, subversion seems to be broken now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/191846/ is that a known issue? | 19:34 |
| mpt | slangasek, sorry I don't know what that behavior is, I've never had a 64-bit installation | 19:35 |
| slangasek | mpt: s/64-bit // | 19:36 |
| slangasek | mpt: i.e.: the behavior should be identical to what it already does when you try to use it to install a .deb with currently unsatisfied dependencies | 19:36 |
| slangasek | presumably it will automatically install any that it can find, and throw an error for any it can't? if it directs you to s-p-gtk in the latter case, even better | 19:37 |
| mpt | slangasek, ok. On the other hand, if I have the option turned off, it will ... what? fail? | 19:37 |
| slangasek | fta: wasn't known to me; sorry, file a bug and assign it to me, since apparently I broke it? | 19:38 |
| fta | slangasek, ok | 19:38 |
| slangasek | mpt: it would necessarily fail, yes; I don't have a preference for how it presents this failure to the user, I'm happy to have input there | 19:39 |
| mpt | slangasek, soooo ... Sorry if this has already been considered (I don't see it when scanning the spec), but did you think about downloading the 32-bit Packages file only if and when you're trying to install a 32-bit package that depends on uninstalled libraries? | 19:41 |

| slangasek | mpt: while we could have gdebi trigger that automatically if we think that's reasonable, it can't be the only way to enable grabbing the 32-bit Packages file because there will be other use cases we want to support besides gdebi (e.g., Add/Remove Software or whatever will replace it, which can't reasonably have the index available without also downloading the Packages...) | 19:48 |
| slangasek | mpt: and, given that we prefer for philosophical reasons to have packages downloaded from the repositories instead of being installed by clicking on a .deb, the design shouldn't give a better user experience via gdebi :) | 19:50 |
| mpt | slangasek, I wasn't suggesting this for gdebi only, I was just using it as an example | 19:50 |
| mpt | but I guess if you haven't downloaded the 32-bit Packages file in the first place, you won't even see the 32-bit multiverse application you want to install, let alone its dependencies | 19:51 |
| slangasek | exactly | 19:51 |
| mpt | ok, I think I finally understand | 19:53 |
| mpt | thank you for your patience :-) | 19:54 |
| slangasek | no problem :) | 19:54 |
| slangasek | now that you understand, what guidance can you give me? :) | 19:54 |
| mpt | so I guess this checkbox would be sensitive only if you were actually running 64-bit | 19:54 |
| mpt | and it would say something like "Include 32-bit packages in available software" | 19:55 |
| slangasek | fwiw, there are use cases for being able to install 64-bit packages on 32-bit systems as well; though these are much more marginal and AFAIK are entirely developer-oriented, so I'm ok with not including the checkbox for that case | 19:56 |

| slangasek | maxb: 384715> ugh, that bug offends all my sensibilities | 20:16 |
| slangasek | so subversion was working just fine with neon 0.28.4, up until we rebuilt against it. yay. | 20:16 |
| maxb | slangasek: Yes, it's fundamentally dumb | 20:17 |
| maxb | But it is fixed more sanely in upstream 1.6 | 20:17 |
| slangasek | I'll get the configure script neutered later today and upload | 20:18 |
| mrooney | seb128: ah ok. I saw your memory tests by the way, I have been keeping a list including a list of bugs and links at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MikeRooney/KarmicBansheeAsDefault, thought you might be interested, it also includes a link to the upstream metabug | 20:18 |
| doko | why does libasound2 depend on libpython2.6? | 20:31 |
| slangasek | doko: because I fixed its previous build-dependency of python2.4-dev to point to python-dev like it was meant to :) | 20:34 |
| slangasek | /usr/lib/alsa-lib/smixer/smixer-python.so | 20:35 |
| doko | slangasek: hmm, is this really needed on the CD? | 20:35 |
| slangasek | doko: is that the only thing pulling libpython2.6 in? | 20:36 |
| slangasek | it's probably not needed on the CD, but I doubt it's worth the effort of splitting it if libpython2.6 is already there | 20:36 |
| doko | slangasek: well, I didn't check for the CD, just did see it in my chroot added. | 20:36 |
| slangasek | it was already on the CD in jaunty | 20:37 |
| doko | maybe we should fix these packages ... | 20:38 |
| slangasek | no objections from me if you think it should be dropped | 20:39 |
| slangasek | I was just fixing the python2.4-dev build-dep, which was clearly wrong | 20:39 |
| doko | I'll ask mterry ;-) | 20:40 |
| * slangasek grins | 20:40 | |
| mterry | :-/ | 20:41 |
| slangasek | anyway, no one in Debian or Ubuntu noticed that the asound python bit wasn't built, until I went cleaning up the python2.4 revdeps | 20:41 |
| mterry | I'm sure that falls under doko's 20% :) | 20:41 |
| doko | mterry: only if you do the glibc-2.10 upgrade ;-p | 20:42 |
| mterry | doko: Couldn't I just do some laundry for ya or something instead? My 80% of doko-time could be all your non-ubuntu tasks, so you can devote more hours to Ubuntu. | 20:43 |
| hyperair | hmm am i the only one who doesn't have working laptop brightness keys now? | 20:44 |
| doko | mterry: my luggage didn't arrive yet, you'll have to wait until tomorrow ... | 20:45 |
| slangasek | ttx: do you have a bug number for the likewise-open5 breakage? | 20:49 |

| slangasek | persia, YokoZar: what are the plans for MID looking like? I see that livefs builds are commented out, with a pointer in y'all's direction. :) | 21:41 |
| YokoZar | slangasek: we need to transition a whole bunch of packages to rebase off Mer | 21:42 |
| slangasek | what's Mer, then? That's the second mention I've seen of it, but I don't know what it is | 21:43 |
| YokoZar | Basically they're our new upstream | 21:43 |
| YokoZar | http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer | 21:44 |
| ogra | sladen, mer is the new maemo :) | 21:44 |
| ogra | err s/sladen/slangasek/ | 21:46 |
| slangasek | hrm. Mer is the new Maemo? I thought MID was based on Moblin, not Maemo. I'm so confused :( | 21:49 |
| cjwatson | mrooney: grub2> see ubuntu-devel-announce :-) | 21:49 |
| ogra | slangasek, right, mer is the attempt of freeing up maemo completely and moblin completely moved to netbooks, MID is rather for touchscreen driven devices will very small screens | 21:50 |
| ogra | so moblin isnt the right base for MID anymore | 21:51 |
| slangasek | oh | 21:51 |

| slangasek | pochu: well, I don't guarantee that I'll consistently remember to include it | 22:02 |
| pochu | slangasek: that's ok. I thought you had a template or a script though ;) | 22:03 |

| slangasek | james_w: that's not implausible, either ;) | 22:07 |
| slangasek | ScottK: do you have any opinion on pruning libboost-mpi? Nothing uses it, and it would spare us a variety of mpi MIRs | 22:10 |
| TheMuso | asac: I'd say it will, but I don't know exactly when. | 22:28 |
| asac | TheMuso: was that really directed to me? | 22:30 |

| Viper550 | has someone seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1U0dK2HpUk plymouth can run on ubuntu? | 22:40 |
| ogra | sure, but it wont be used | 22:40 |
| ogra | it can run on certain HW since jaunty | 22:41 |
| cjwatson | we discussed plymouth and decided not to use it because (a) usplash can run on kms too so there's no driving reason to drop it, (b) we'd basically have to bring plymouth up to par with usplash in various ways (c) plymouth doesn't really seem to offer anything stunningly new - for example it still uses .so objects for theming (AIUI) | 22:42 |
| ogra | d) a splash is just a way to hide a slow bootprocess ;) | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | oh, right, indeed, we'll be moving to avoiding a splash screen at all except when necessary for interaction | 22:43 |
| ogra | solving the basic prob is more elegant :) | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | and trying to bring X up as soon as possible instead | 22:43 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: around? what's the proper way in the init-script-less world to start a daemon on boot? | 22:43 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: a newly developed from scratch daemon | 22:43 |
| kirkland | Keybuk: i'm trying to avoid an init script | 22:43 |
| sladen | kirkland: upstart files | 22:43 |
| kirkland | sladen: agreed; is there documentation on creating an upstart configuration for starting a daemon? | 22:44 |
| ogra | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 22:44 |
| ogra | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/ | 22:44 |
| kirkland | ogra: thanks | 22:44 |
| sladen | kirkland: and have a look in /etc/event.d/ for the existing uses | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: it's all going to change soon ... | 22:44 |
| slangasek | mr_pouit, cody-somerville, NCommander: xubuntu-desktop depends on xfce4-dict-plugin, which is NBS? | 22:45 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: right, those "changes" are what i'm asking about | 22:45 |
| cjwatson | so now is perhaps not the best time to do it; I would advise continuing to use init scripts for now | 22:45 |
| kirkland | (i think) | 22:45 |
| cjwatson | all I've heard is Keybuk talking abou ti | 22:45 |
| cjwatson | about it | 22:45 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: :-) | 22:45 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: right, this is why i'm trying to sync up with him | 22:45 |
| cjwatson | from what I have heard, I think the upstart wiki is probably not up to date with his latest work | 22:45 |
| slangasek | hmm? there are going to be significant design changes? | 22:46 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i was contemplating an @reboot cronjob, for kicking it off | 22:46 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: would this be horrible and evil? | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: why not just use an init script? | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | seriously | 22:46 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: oh, i don't mind, using an init script, i just thought we were trying to get rid of init scripts | 22:46 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: and i was trying to avoid introducing a new one | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | yes, but we're not there yet, so I'm not sure anticipating that is helpful right now | 22:47 |
| * kirkland is quite happy with init scripts | 22:47 | |
| sladen | kirkland: /etc/event.d/logd exec ... resprawn | 22:47 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: word. | 22:47 |
| slangasek | "why not" - because that leaves the admin with no way to manage the state of the daemon, and no way for package maintainer scripts to interact with it | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: so I understand, yes | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | (significant design changes) | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | he was talking about it at various stages during UDS | 22:48 |
| kirkland | sladen: thanks | 22:48 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: are those going to be done by the 22nd? :) | 22:48 |
| kirkland | sladen: that looks like what i need | 22:48 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: now that I don't know, though I understand he's going to try of course | 22:48 |
| Viper550 | hmm speaking of init, <leinir> bero's new init system is so fast that really, when the splash screen gets shown, you should already be loading up xorg :) | 22:48 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: logd is special because upstart itself owns that | 22:48 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: I don't think it should be used as an example by the rest of the archive yet | 22:48 |
| cjwatson | Viper550: is that fedora? they're using upstart | 22:49 |
| Viper550 | no, ark linux. another rpm distro. we're currently starting to modernize it a bit for our long-anticpated 2009.1 release | 22:49 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: okay, init script it is | 22:50 |
| Viper550 | we're switching to libzypp from APT-RPM | 22:50 |
| Viper550 | and heck it even works with rpm5 | 22:50 |
| cjwatson | Viper550: we should be able to do just that with karmic - load X when we're currently loading the splash screen, near enough | 22:50 |
| cjwatson | and that's definitely what we're shooting for | 22:50 |
| ogra | without reinventing an init system though :) | 22:51 |
| Viper550 | so are we gonna minimalize the splash screen? | 22:51 |
| ogra | we already did that before | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | well, the init system is involved | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | what does "minimalize the splash screen" mean? | 22:51 |
| ogra | 2x2 px splash ? :) | 22:51 |
| slangasek | meh, NBS is such a mess right now | 22:51 |
| Viper550 | as in...remember Windows Vista changed it to just a progress bar? | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | Viper550: it's already just a progress bar plus a background ... from my point of view, "whatever" | 22:52 |
| ogra | the plan is to be fast enough to not have a splash at all | 22:52 |
| cjwatson | I don't really care that much what the art guys do with it :) | 22:52 |
| sladen | Viper550: karmic+1 should have no visible splash (except in the case of fsck). Some of the stuff might land sooner | 22:52 |
| Viper550 | on 7 its just an animated "pulsing" progress bar with "Starting Windows..." below it | 22:52 |
| dtchen | slangasek: speaking of NBS, feel free to kill libpulsecore9 | 22:53 |
| Viper550 | maybe just a basic logo and throbber for the installed system on kamic. | 22:53 |
| sladen | Viper550: that's what usplash is, right? | 22:53 |
| ogra | just to see it flashing by ? | 22:53 |
| ogra | if you boot fast enough you dont need a splash | 22:54 |
| slangasek | dtchen: done. is there an lpia build failure there that's being worked on? | 22:54 |
| Viper550 | no, ours has a big logo and a thin progress bar | 22:54 |
| dtchen | slangasek: looking | 22:54 |
| cjwatson | Viper550: feel free to get in touch with the art folks about that | 22:54 |
| sladen | Viper550: what is that different? ("ours" == fedora?) | 22:54 |
| Viper550 | ubuntu has a big logo/thin progress bar | 22:55 |
| ogra | it wont anymore if there is no splash anymore | 22:55 |
| sladen | Viper550: it actually as a huge logo--- eg. 1024x768. Most of it is black though | 22:56 |
| ogra | if your boot is fast enough you dont need a splash at all, you just start X | 22:56 |
| ogra | and thats the target | 22:56 |
| Viper550 | but for the slower computers...it would still be good to have at least some indicator rather than a black screen. blank screens scare noobs. | 22:56 |
| Viper550 | I think for karmic, just a greyed out ubuntu logo with a small circular throbber in it on the bottom-center | 22:57 |
| ogra | they will likely just have X with an idle cursor | 22:57 |
| ogra | not a black screen | 22:57 |
| sladen | Viper550: when you turn on the computer, you get ~10-15 seconds of black whilst the monitor warms up/syncs, and the initial bootstrap code loads. ~3-5 seconds is alot less than that | 22:58 |
| Viper550 | I got an lcd monitor | 22:58 |
| ogra | and your PC has a BIOS, doesnt it ? | 22:58 |
| ogra | common bioses take 5-20sec | 22:58 |
| Viper550 | on 4 of our computers. and my bios on my HP in my room has a blue screen not a black one. | 22:58 |
| ogra | where you are at a black screen | 22:58 |
| Viper550 | in between end splash and loading X | 22:58 |
| dtchen | slangasek: yes, lp #375595. chasing now. | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 375595 in libcap2 "libcap2 FTBFS for lpia" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/375595 | 22:59 |
| sladen | Viper550: pretend that the splash wasn't there, and that same second of couple black was between grub and X | 22:59 |
| cjwatson | we'll certainly still have the facility to start usplash in various circumstances (e.g. fsck, dm-crypt), so running it on slow computers as well is basically an implementation detail AFAICS | 22:59 |
| Viper550 | woah... | 23:00 |
| cjwatson | and I think that would indeed be a desirable thing to do | 23:00 |
| cody-somerville | slangasek, I'll fix that | 23:00 |
| sladen | <sladen> Viper550: karmic+1 should have no visible splash (except in the case of fsck) | 23:00 |
| Viper550 | but for karmic, | 23:01 |
| cjwatson | sladen: whence "karmic+1"? | 23:01 |
| cjwatson | sladen: the plan of record is to do that for karmic | 23:01 |
| Viper550 | it would be good to start on the right direction | 23:01 |
| sladen | Viper550: how most of these progress bars work, is that you allow a period of time, which is the maximum a user is comfortable with, without seeing any movement (eg. 100msc, or .5 second, or 3 seconds, depending on the situation). And then at that point you poke/rotate the icon/progress bar/throbber | 23:02 |
| sladen | Viper550: in the case of boot, people are already used to seeing ~3 second black screens at X transition, and considerably more at the BIOS/pre-Grub. Therefore, there's a 3 second budget before you have to poke the throbber/progress bar | 23:03 |
| Viper550 | sladen, also one thing I noticed, last time I used ubuntu (yes, the computer I speak of, currently runs freedos for no appearant reason), there is always this part of the bootup where the progress bar "ping pongs" before it actually does anything | 23:03 |
| sladen | Viper550: so you can safely allow 3 seconds, and if X hasn't loaded by then, then you can fire up usplash | 23:03 |
| sladen | Viper550: it ping pongs until it's possible to estimate the 0-100% progress | 23:04 |
| cjwatson | Viper550: it turns out that we have sufficiently little idea in practice of how long the initramfs is going to take that displaying a throbber ("ping pong") there is better than a hopelessly inaccurate bar | 23:04 |
| cjwatson | we used to try to display a monotonic progress bar there; it didn't work out so well | 23:04 |
| Viper550 | gOS (last version with Enlightenment I beleive, ubuntu based), I think, took about 24 seconds to boot through usplash (though it also had a rather ugly theme, BRIGHT GREEN BOOTUP FTW) | 23:04 |
| * ogra hugs stgraber ... thanks for getting us a "usable" LTSP for A2 :) | 23:05 | |
| cjwatson | timings are meaningless without context :-) There are already machines that boot Ubuntu to a fully usable desktop in 12 seconds or so | 23:05 |
| Viper550 | my computer has 256mb ram, and a P3 equiv | 23:05 |
| sladen | Viper550: yes, 25 seconds is about right for a recent *buntu | 23:05 |
| Viper550 | its an athlon thunderbird | 23:06 |
| Viper550 | and it has an older ATI graphics card (it replaced a Nvidia card it used to use, that started suffering from "scan line syndrome". We actually BOUGHT A NEW MONITOR cause we thought it was the monitor) | 23:07 |
| stgraber | ogra: well, I haven't tested that code on a clean install yet so who knows :) but it can't be worse than before anyway | 23:08 |
| ogra | i'd like to know if its as slow on real HW | 23:08 |
| ogra | my vbox surely had enough ram allocated | 23:09 |
| stgraber | I have a Core2Duo here as test thin clients, if it takes longer than 8s, then it slower than Jaunty :) | 23:10 |
| ogra | heh | 23:10 |
| ogra | if it takes less than 2min to boot i'm happy :) | 23:11 |
| ogra | (at least until mount --union comes) | 23:11 |
| soren | slangasek: I'm curious... When we build Hardy images after Hardy's released, do we still use the livecd-rootfs and cd building code that was in use when Hardy was released or do we use whatever's current? | 23:36 |
| slangasek | soren: we use what's current, though we're careful to guard any relevant code changes that are incompatible with hardy with a distroseries check | 23:37 |
| soren | slangasek: Interesting. Thanks. | 23:37 |
| calc | slangasek: it currently looks like fixing the symlinking issue will be fairly hard, i found the spot in the code that does it but due to us having a separate -l10n source i have to determine how to make it actually work properly with that | 23:45 |
| slangasek | calc: ok - not critical for alpha-2, so therefore not worth the risk of an upload right now | 23:45 |
| calc | slangasek: currently it looks in ooo-common and anything in that and also in the l10n-XX package gets a symlink, but i think for the l10n package the ooo-common no longer exists at all due to changing over to dh_install | 23:46 |
| slangasek | ah | 23:46 |
| calc | so i'm not sure how to fix it atm, will definitely be interesting, heh | 23:47 |
| calc | i delay my next upload until after a2 release and try to get the l10n size issue fixed as soon as i can determine how to, may be after my next upload though | 23:49 |
| calc | er i'll delay | 23:49 |
| maxb | Why does the apport retracer remove CoreDump.gz attachments? Is the rationale one of potential privacy issues? | 23:57 |
