| ebroder | What happened to /udev/vol_id in karmic? | 02:39 |
| ebroder | Err.../sbin/vol_id | 02:39 |
| ebroder | What's the best next step for bug #395321? | 03:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 395321 in xen-3.3 "incomplete patch to curses module in python2.5" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/395321 | 03:09 |
| ebroder | Subscribing ubuntu-main-sponsors? | 03:09 |
| ajmitch | yes, at least for the karmic stage | 03:12 |
| ebroder | Is that better than trying to get doko's attention? | 03:13 |
| ajmitch | could be, I'm not sure how busy he is | 03:13 |
| ebroder | (debian/control has a Vcs-Bzr of LP:~doko/python/pkg2.5) | 03:14 |
| ajmitch | subscribing the sponsors team is the usual route for getting the fix in, at least | 03:15 |
| ebroder | I guess I'm just not clear on how the procedure changes when a package seems to have an owner in Ubuntu | 03:15 |
| ScottK | ebroder and ajmitch: As I understand it, doko is on a 6 month rotation with Canonical OEM services so doesn't have a lot of Ubuntu time at the moment. | 03:16 |
| ajmitch | ScottK: ok, that'll explain why I haven't seen him around as much :) | 03:16 |
| ebroder | ubuntu-main-sponsors it is, then :) | 03:16 |
| ebroder | Thanks, ScottK | 03:16 |
| ajmitch | the patch looks small enough to review quickly | 03:17 |
| ebroder | Is there a known issue with ifup and /var/run/network/ifstate? | 03:21 |
| ajmitch | I haven't heard of any | 03:21 |
| * ebroder sighs. Time to go digging | 03:22 | |
| ajmitch | karmic? | 03:22 |
| ebroder | Yeah. I'm getting "ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: No such file or directory" when I try to ifup eth0 | 03:22 |
| ebroder | This is also a Xen dom0, though - I can't tell yet if that's affecting things | 03:23 |
| ajmitch | odd, I see some mentions of it in the ifenslave changelog (from a google search) | 03:23 |
| ebroder | (the issue is that /var/run/network/ doesn't exist) | 03:24 |
| ajmitch | it exists on my karmic machine that I rebooted yesterday, fwiw | 03:25 |
| ebroder | i'll try without the Xen hypervisor | 03:27 |
| ajmitch | my karmic box is also a desktop, so it runs NM which fiddles with that file | 03:28 |
| ebroder | Huh - doesn't happen when I'm not running with Xen | 03:28 |
| ebroder | Probably has something to do with how Xen plays dumb games with bridges | 03:28 |
| ajmitch | that would be strange | 03:28 |
| ebroder | Xen renames eth0 to peth0 at boot, and then creates a bridge called eth0 and adds peth0 to it | 03:29 |
| ebroder | It's kind of gross, really, but so is all virtualized networking | 03:29 |
| ajmitch | more than just a bit messy | 03:29 |
| ebroder | And...that time it seemed to come up fine. I <3 software | 03:32 |
| ebroder | Or maybe update-grub just didn't put the Xen entry back in | 03:37 |
| ebroder | So yeah, if I run under the Xen hypervisor, then ifup eth0 fails because /var/run/network doesn't exist | 03:37 |
| ebroder | But this doesn't happen if I run the normal karmic -server kernel | 03:37 |
| Sarvatt | thats been around since jaunty, made me scratch my head for some time trying to figure it out | 03:38 |
| Sarvatt | i had to add [ -d /var/run/network ] || mkdir -p /var/run/network to my /etc/init.d/networking script on my openvz vps | 03:38 |
| ebroder | Sarvatt: Did you ever figure out what's supposed to create /var/run/network? | 03:39 |
| Sarvatt | udev which is disabled | 03:39 |
| Sarvatt | in my case | 03:39 |
| Sarvatt | /etc/init.d/loopback used to create it but they moved it | 03:40 |
| ebroder | Looks like I'm running udev | 03:40 |
| Sarvatt | /lib/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules now | 03:40 |
| Sarvatt | it was real fun debugging that one remotely :) | 03:42 |
| ebroder | I guess this is more or less bug #367171 | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 367171 in ubuntu "/var/run/network not created soon enough" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/367171 | 03:43 |

| ebroder | error getting signalfd | 03:47 |

| ebroder | Aha - "To be able to use signalfd(), udev depends on kernel version 2.6.25 now." | 03:51 |
| Sarvatt | just stick that command in /etc/init.d/networking on a new line after start) :D | 03:57 |
| ebroder | That works, but it's a terrible fix | 03:57 |
| ebroder | Ugh. I think at this point I'm just going to give up on maintaining Xen in anything after Hardy | 04:07 |

| pitti | mcasadevall: you mean when apport segfaults? it should catch its own segfault; if that happens recursively, you lose, though | 07:15 |
| StevenK | Morning pitti | 07:15 |
| mcasadevall | pitti, I lost :-/ | 07:15 |
| pitti | mcasadevall: python crashes? | 07:15 |
| mcasadevall | pitti, I posted a crash report from another machine, but I haven't bothered to setup a retracer on the ia64 porting box yet | 07:15 |

| mcasadevall | pitti, yeah, it did, I submitted that crash report | 07:17 |
| pitti | mcasadevall: it doesn't crash in gdb? | 07:17 |

| === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander | ||
| dholbach | good good - how 'bout you? | 07:37 |
| geser | Hi dholbach | 07:37 |
| NCommander | dholbach, trying to figure out why GDM is hanging on ia64 | 07:37 |
| dholbach | hey geser | 07:37 |
| NCommander | (and why python is broken; I think I need to setup an ia64 apport retracer at some point ...) | 07:37 |
| dholbach | NCommander: good luck! :) | 07:37 |
| NCommander | dholbach, indeed. I'm hoping to have both desktop and server CDs for ia64 building today actually, and be releasable with karmic again | 07:38 |
| NCommander | (SPARC server is also something I'm working on as well, I still need to dehose its kernel) | 07:38 |
| StevenK | NCommander: It's kernel needs cryptoloop enabled, and then it will probably build | 07:39 |
| NCommander | StevenK, the sparc64 config is very sparse; I think its just a defconfig. I need to sitdown and fix that | 07:39 |
| NCommander | Then I need to talk with the kernel team with transitioning the ia64 and sparc, and powerpc kernels to remove the -smp variants, and going to -generic | 07:39 |
| NCommander | (and what we want the min. requirements for ia64 to be, ATM, it needs an Itanium2 processor or greater, but thats because the kernel built requiring that) | 07:40 |
| StevenK | NCommander: And Colin, since d-i will need to be fixed. | 07:40 |
| NCommander | StevenK, d-i was only broken due to a bug int he kernel packaging that caused kernels to be installed uncompressed | 07:40 |
| StevenK | NCommander: If you change the names, d-i needs to know | 07:40 |
| NCommander | StevenK, oh, right (and the seeds, and a bunch of other crap.) | 07:41 |
| NCommander | Ugh | 07:41 |
| NCommander | That's why I want to fix everything before I start playing transition the ports kernel | 07:41 |
| * StevenK finds himself using the word 'handwave' in an MIR again | 07:42 | |
| NCommander | StevenK, do you plan to use Ubuntu on your SPARC box if it gets to the point where its installable again? | 07:42 |
| StevenK | NCommander: My Sparc box has been decomm'd and is sitting in a corner, powered off | 07:43 |
| NCommander | oh | 07:43 |
| NCommander | that answers that | 07:43 |
| * NCommander wonders if he's the only one to use Ubuntu/ia64 as a desktop OS ... | 07:43 | |
| StevenK | It's a fairly slow thing, but I could be convinced to fire it up | 07:43 |
| NCommander | My sunfire is a freakign antique | 07:44 |
| NCommander | :-/ | 07:44 |
| StevenK | It's an Ultra5, and has (ugh) non-DMA IDE | 07:44 |
| NCommander | Bah, even my Ultra10 is newer than that | 07:44 |
| * NCommander has an Ultra 10, Netra T1, Netra X1 (which I think has a faulty processor and a sunfire v120) | 07:45 | |
| * TheMuso winces at StevenK's sparc having non-DMA IDE. | 07:45 | |
| NCommander | the sunfire is freaking load though | 07:45 |
| NCommander | TheMuso, BTW, any luck w/ running down the issues w/ powerpc? | 07:46 |
| TheMuso | NCommander: No, I didn't look at it on the weekend. I don't know where to continue looking. | 07:46 |
| NCommander | TheMuso, We need to get the xserve's in the data centre updated to hardy :-/ | 07:47 |
| NCommander | The problem is that the last time that was tried, the machines themselves panicked | 07:47 |
| Ryan52 | NCommander: hm...libgtk2-perl's tests are still ran, you know that, right? just a few of the tests are disabled. | 07:47 |
| NCommander | Ryan52, ? | 07:47 |
| NCommander | And powerpc defaults to power off when power cycled | 07:47 |
| TheMuso | NCommander: Yeah, but we kinda need something more short term I think. | 07:47 |
| NCommander | TheMuso, *sigh* | 07:47 |
| NCommander | TheMuso, let me go poke infinity, maybe he has an idea, or I can beg him to update the userland and pin the kernel | 07:47 |
| Ryan52 | NCommander: your sync request made it sound like you didn't know this. | 07:47 |
| NCommander | Ryan52, the changelog you posted for the Debian upload said they were disabled :-/ | 07:48 |
| Ryan52 | I said "disable the failing tests" | 07:48 |
| Ryan52 | I didn't say "and disable the suceeding ones too" | 07:48 |
| Ryan52 | :) | 07:48 |
| Ryan52 | NCommander: so if you do need special xvfb flags, you still need to patch. | 07:49 |
| Ryan52 | NCommander: or you can ask nicely and I integrate it into my rules file too so that you don't have to maintain the patch...whichever way you prefer. :P | 07:50 |
| NCommander | Ryan52, when I test built -2 on all architectures, it successfully built | 07:51 |
| NCommander | Ryan52, so no patch is needed as of yet :-) (I remember I pinged you on this in d-perl awhile ago, then found out it wasn't needed) | 07:51 |
| Ryan52 | then I guess you don't need special options to xvfb-run anymore. *shrug* | 07:51 |
| Ryan52 | okie doke. | 07:52 |
| * RAOF would really prefer it if gdm didn't keep logging him out seemingly at random. | 07:53 | |
| StevenK | RAOF: "Feature" | 07:54 |
| Hobbsee | RAOF: yeah, so would I! | 07:54 |
| Hobbsee | at least it respawns | 07:54 |
| RAOF | StevenK: "Any sufficiently obscure bug is really a feature"? | 07:54 |
| TheMuso | thats consolekit I think. | 07:55 |
| TheMuso | Or is it not... | 07:55 |
| RAOF | Whatever it is, it seems like it _might_ be triggered by excessive typing. | 07:56 |
| RAOF | Just the trigger you want for a dataloss bug! | 07:56 |
| TheMuso | Well thats not quite what happens for me. I start a session, then randomly I loose my session, have to log in, and then it doesn't crash again for the rest of the session until I restart. | 07:57 |

| pitti | gdm isn't supposed to set the console keymap | 09:28 |
| pitti | that's /etc/default/console-setup | 09:28 |
| pitti | and X reads it from there | 09:28 |
| ogra | XKBMODEL="pc105" | 09:28 |
| ogra | XKBLAYOUT="de,us" | 09:28 |
| ogra | XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys," | 09:28 |
| ogra | XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle" | 09:28 |
| ogra | hmm | 09:28 |
| pitti | "de,us"?? | 09:28 |
| ogra | where does the us come from there ... | 09:28 |
| ogra | i never touched that file | 09:28 |
| pitti | it should be written by the installer | 09:29 |
| ogra | must be the gnome tool | 09:29 |
| ogra | well, when my X keymap was gone you suggested i should set it in the gnome keyboard tool, that has an US map by default | 09:29 |
| ogra | i didnt delete the us one but added the german one and clicked on "set systemwide" | 09:30 |
| ogra | so i guess its gnome-systemtools fault | 09:30 |
| pitti | ah, that would be it | 09:31 |
| pitti | mvo: what would be the right package for this? ^ | 09:31 |
| pitti | (AFAIK you did the "system wide" stuff, didn't you?) | 09:32 |
| mvo | pitti: ubuntu-system-service | 09:32 |
| pitti | ogra: ^ | 09:32 |
| * ogra removes the us kbd in the kbd properties and reboots once more | 09:32 | |
| ogra | hey | 09:32 |
| mvo | but it sounds to me like we should teach console-setup about layout="one,two" | 09:32 |
| ogra | someone promised the system menu would have the reboot item back | 09:33 |
| ogra | bah | 09:33 |
| ogra | i only have logout here | 09:33 |
| pitti | it does | 09:33 |
| pitti | gnome-panel version? | 09:33 |
| ogra | lock screen and logout... | 09:33 |
| ogra | no idea, upgraded 20min ago | 09:33 |
| * ogra checks | 09:33 | |
| ogra | 1:2.26.2-1ubuntu4 | 09:34 |
| pitti | mvo: does console-tools actually understand several layouts? it doesn't make sense, it should just do the default one | 09:34 |
| ogra | ++ | 09:34 |
| pitti | ogra: hm, that should be the fixed one | 09:34 |
| mvo | ok | 09:34 |
| * mvo fixes | 09:34 | |
| * pitti pokes gdm for the "shows system users" issue, thanks to james_w for analyzing | 09:34 | |
| ogra | pitti, i *had* the shutdown option yesterday, it must have been gone with todays upgrade | 09:35 |
| mvo | pitti: hm, so for me de,us in the console works just fine, switching keymaps with alts works too | 09:36 |
| mvo | ^-- ogra | 09:36 |
| pitti | mvo: wow, I wasn't aware that VTs could do that | 09:37 |
| pitti | mvo: is "both alts" hardcoded there? | 09:37 |
| mvo | I think it reads it from xkboptions | 09:37 |
| pitti | ah | 09:37 |
| mvo | XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle" | 09:37 |
| pitti | nice | 09:37 |
| mvo | yeah | 09:37 |
| mvo | so gdm does not do anything to the keymap? or does it read the /etc/default/console-setup file? | 09:38 |
| pitti | mvo: gdm really shouldn't | 09:38 |
| pitti | if it does (by default), it's a bug | 09:39 |
| * mvo pokes it a bit | 09:39 | |
| pitti | mvo: hal reads /etc/default/console-setup, and X.org reads it from hal | 09:39 |
| ogra | console-setup is right now | 09:39 |
| ogra | the keyboard isnt though | 09:39 |
| pitti | gdm doesn't even have an UI for setting the keymap | 09:39 |
| pitti | so it shouldn't mess with it | 09:39 |
| ogra | XKBMODEL="pc105" | 09:39 |
| ogra | XKBLAYOUT="de" | 09:39 |
| ogra | XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" | 09:39 |
| ogra | XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle,altwin:menu" | 09:40 |
| ogra | still US kbd on tty | 09:40 |
| mvo | ogra: so on the console you also got us? | 09:40 |
| mvo | hmm | 09:40 |
| ogra | mvo, *only* on ttys | 09:40 |
| ogra | its right in X | 09:40 |
| pitti | ogra: you rebooted after this? or restarted whichever init script reads it? | 09:40 |
| ogra | rebooted | 09:40 |
| mvo | ogra: does it work if you run /etc/init.d/console-setup start manually? | 09:40 |
| * ogra tries | 09:41 | |
| pitti | console-setup:# Short-Description: Set console font and keymap | 09:41 |
| pitti | hmm | 09:41 |
| ogra | mvo, yes | 09:41 |
| ogra | race ? | 09:41 |
| mvo | ogra: I suspect its run too late then for some reason | 09:41 |
| ogra | yep | 09:41 |
| ogra | i dont know if it still runs from initramfs (it once used to) | 09:42 |
| * ogra does an update-initramfs and reboots | 09:42 | |
| saispo | hi | 09:42 |
| mvo | ogra: I think that is the problem, for me LAYOUT=de,us seems to work fine | 09:42 |
| saispo | have you planned to sync the kernel git with the latest update ? | 09:42 |
| TheMuso | saispo: 2.6.31-rc2 was uploaded a few hours ago. | 09:43 |
| saispo | TheMuso: for hardy LTS excuse me :) | 09:43 |
| TheMuso | saispo: oh ok then. :) | 09:44 |
| ogra | initramfs -> didnt help | 09:45 |
| ogra | so the initscript needs to move | 09:46 |
| ogra | though thats run in rcS | 09:46 |
| ogra | i dont get how it can be to late | 09:46 |
| saispo | TheMuso: you think, it will be sync soon ? :) | 09:48 |
| ogra | TheMuso, please disable the keyboard bell in terminals again in pulse, the "clonk" if i reach the beginning of a line makes me mad | 09:49 |

| pitti | /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/console_setup:if [ -f /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz ] && type loadkeys >/dev/null; then | 09:52 |
| pitti | ogra: ^ | 09:53 |
| pitti | it seems that it does really weird things in initramfs | 09:53 |
| pitti | it doesn't use setupcon, etc. | 09:53 |
| ogra | its only a fallback so you have your keyap in busybox | 09:53 |
| ogra | iirc | 09:53 |
| pitti | right | 09:53 |
| ogra | cjwatson would know more | 09:53 |
| pitti | ogra: so calling the init script manually works for you, right? | 09:54 |
| * ogra doesnt get where that 915resolution comes from | 09:54 | |
| ogra | yeah, that changes the font and makes the kbd work right | 09:54 |
| * ogra doesnt get either why purging it doesnt remove the initscript | 09:54 | |
| pitti | ogra: you have /etc/rcS.d/S49console-setup ? | 09:54 |
| ogra | yes | 09:54 |
| pitti | ogra: could you try booting with "text", to not start gdm at all? just to check whether gdm messes it up again? | 09:55 |
| ogra | ok | 09:55 |
| pitti | rescue should also work | 09:55 |
| ogra | i'm not sure its gdm related at all though | 09:55 |
| ogra | might just be Keybuk's fault anyway :P | 09:56 |

| ogra | mvo, it does the right thing without splash ... BUT ... i have no äöü or any other special chars at the login prompt | 10:12 |
| ogra | which is kind of weird | 10:12 |
| ogra | though the delay through fsck might indeed have hidden the race | 10:12 |
| ogra | (since when do we check after 20 mounts btw, it used to be 30) | 10:13 |
| * ogra reboots once again without splash to make sure the fsck didnt influence it | 10:14 | |
| ogra | ok, its definately usplash related | 10:18 |
| ogra | i reproduced it twice with and without splash makes the difference | 10:19 |

| silidan | yesterday i properly shutdown my system today i booted and now i wanted to start some system tools (synaptic, apt-get, dpkg, some from system->administration) but all seem to segfault, how can i find out whats going wrong? | 10:31 |
| mvo | silidan: did you try rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin | 10:31 |
| ogra | no need for backups of the system, i just reinstall if needed | 10:31 |
| ogra | but i'd like to find the reason | 10:31 |
| silidan | mvo: no yet will try | 10:31 |
| silidan | segfault too | 10:32 |
| silidan | mvo: segfault too | 10:32 |
| silidan | means i also get a segfault for rm command | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | if dpkg is segfaulting then /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin is not at fault on its own | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | you probably have a corrupted library file on your disk | 10:32 |
| silidan | no | 10:32 |
| silidan | it seems sudo segfaults | 10:33 |
| silidan | rnm works in home dir | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | two choices: (a) you're experienced enough to figure out which file is broken and restore it from a rescue CD or whatever (b) back up your data and reinstall | 10:33 |
| silidan | yep sudo segfaults | 10:34 |
| silidan | so it may not be synaptic or dpkg but sudo itself | 10:34 |
| silidan | yep synaptic wihtout sudo works | 10:34 |
| silidan | so what can cause sudo to segfault? | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | broken executable file, broken library file, or code bug in any of those | 10:35 |
| cjwatson | a segmentation fault happens when a program attempts to access memory which is not mapped for its use; it can happen for all kinds of reasons but they are always either bugs or file corruption | 10:36 |
| * ogra has a translation question for mvo "Für Ihr System ist kein composite-fähiger Grafiktreiber verfügbar, oder der aktuelle unterstützt es bereits." | 10:36 | |
| cjwatson | sudo *always* segfaulting is probably filesystem corruption though | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | please visit #ubuntu for recovery help | 10:36 |
| silidan | i had these kind of issues before but they magicaly fixed themselves after reboot, and they also magically appear from time to time after bootup | 10:37 |
| ogra | so either i dont have a composite capable driver or the current one already supports composite ?!? | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | then you have hardware trouble ... | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | with those symptoms I'd personally suspect bad RAM. use the memory test from an Ubuntu CD | 10:37 |
| silidan | ok | 10:37 |
| silidan | ill be back | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | please not here | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | this is a #ubuntu kind of thing | 10:37 |
| silidan | ok | 10:38 |
| mvo | ogra: urg, I have to look what is causing this message, but I think the tool we use to querry for the composition support in the driver is rather limited | 10:40 |

| doko | NCommander: well, if I can help ... didn't write one yet | 15:57 |
| NCommander | doko, we're having issues with redboot building against our toolchain, specifically libc.a wants a lot of sections involving .tbss and the other threaded bits of the ELF headers which wasn't an issue w/ earlier glibcs | 15:58 |
| NCommander | doko, is there a sane way to build against newlib with our existing toolchain? | 15:58 |
| NCommander | which is possibly the only way to get a sane end-result | 15:59 |
| NCommander | doko, brb, phone call | 16:00 |
| doko | NCommander: we do build cross compilers as part of our toolchain packages as well, e.g. binutils-hppa64, gcc-hppa64, or -spu. you could do that for a newlib target configuration as well | 16:00 |
| Keybuk | pitti: you realise your instructions won't work if they're on a WPA wireless network? :) | 16:05 |
| pitti | Keybuk: does nm shut down WPA on session stop? | 16:06 |
| Keybuk | pitti: of course | 16:06 |
| Keybuk | pitti: the key comes from the user's session | 16:06 |
| pitti | sure, that's for starting it | 16:06 |
| ion | System settings in n-m ftw. | 16:06 |
| pitti | but I wasn't aware that nm tears down the connection | 16:06 |
| Keybuk | it seems to | 16:06 |
| pitti | hmm; screen FTW then | 16:06 |
| ion | setsid apt-get ... from the X session? :-) | 16:07 |
| pitti | sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.prerm | 16:07 |
| pitti | before the upgrade | 16:07 |
| Keybuk | ion: shouldn't matter overly | 16:07 |
| Keybuk | apt might get killed | 16:07 |
| Keybuk | but dpkg will carry on | 16:07 |
| ion | --download-only dist-upgrade under the session, dist-upgrade from virtual console might work as well. | 16:07 |
| pitti | jdstrand: FYI, firefox-3.5 was verified in jaunty-proposed, so it's good to go now | 16:09 |
| jdstrand | pitti: ok | 16:09 |
| pitti | jdstrand: shall I copy that to -updates, or you to -security? | 16:09 |
| pitti | (I guess we want to do both) | 16:10 |
| jdstrand | pitti: I'll do both, just to make it easier | 16:10 |
| pitti | 'k, thanks | 16:10 |
| asac | thanks folks!! | 16:10 |
| jdstrand | np | 16:11 |
| soren | I have a gzip'ed file I'd like to extract. It | 16:16 |
| soren | Whoops | 16:16 |
| soren | I have a gzip'ed file I'd like to extract. It extracts to a huge file, with big gaps in it, so I'd like to make sure it's stored sparsely. How to do? | 16:17 |
| NCommander | doko, I'm trying to avoid that if at all possible; hence the question on using the standard toolchain against newlib | 16:17 |
| jdstrand | pitti, asac: copied xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 and firefox-3.5 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 to -security and -updates | 16:18 |
| asac | ack | 16:18 |
| jdstrand | pitti: will you handle the closing of the bug? | 16:18 |
| jdstrand | (I don't remember which it is off hand...) | 16:18 |
| NCommander | doko, basically, the issue is that we can't statically link against glibc in a case where we did because it mucks things up. We were only linking against libc because libgcc had symbols that were dependent on it | 16:18 |
| pitti | jdstrand: that should happen automatically, but I'll look | 16:18 |
| jdstrand | oh ok, I wasn't sure about the -proposed -> -updates bit in LP | 16:19 |
| cjwatson | soren: google gunzip sparse, first hit | 16:20 |
| soren | cjwatson: Ah, "cp /dev/stdin"! Of course. I was trying to use tar with very little success. Thanks! | 16:21 |
| asac | jdstrand: i think the xulrunner one wasnt properly marked in changelog. i will close it manually now | 16:22 |
| liw | soren, that'd be a cool option to have in gzip (or a cool utility to write for moreutils, actually) | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | gzip yes, certainly. I'm not sure there's much point in wrapping cp --sparse=always /dev/stdin $foo in moreutils, though | 16:23 |
| asac | done | 16:24 |
| jdstrand | asac: thaniks | 16:24 |
| jdstrand | thanks | 16:24 |
| liw | cjwatson, hmm, assuming /dev/stdin works in all environments, yeah (and all environs have gnu cp, of course) | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | though admittedly an adverbial version (sparse gunzip ...) would be neat-ish | 16:24 |
| liw | for perfomance, gunzip --sparse would be great,though: no point in piping terabytes of NUL bytes to another tool that will just ignore them | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 16:26 |
| NCommander | doko, if we need a cross-toolchain, then newlib must be built as part of the build, else the C++ toolchain FTBFS'es | 16:26 |
| NCommander | doko, (--with-newlib must be passed, and the newlib and libgloss symlinks will have to be setup) | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | especially since it's probably coming from about half a dozen bytes of the compressed file anyway :-) | 16:26 |
| doko | NCommander: well, we have the newlib package. so maybe just build a cross compiler from a new source package, build-depending on newlib-source, binutils-source and gcc-4.4-source? | 16:27 |
| NCommander | doko, that's what I currently wanted to do, but it was shot down as unacceptable. | 16:28 |
| NCommander | (and my current package does :-/) | 16:28 |
| NCommander | Well, more specifically, redboot-imx builds it as part of its rules, and then uses the newly built cross-compiler to spit out the proper binary | 16:28 |
| doko | NCommander: why was it shot? | 16:28 |
| NCommander | doko, its preferable to build w/ the in-archive toolchain | 16:29 |
| NCommander | (which is what we did for jaunty, but the hack to make that work broke miserably) | 16:29 |
| NCommander | doko, due to changes in how the symbols used between libgcc and libc.a changed, it causes the binary to bloat from 160kb to 1.2MB even after the ELF headers are stripped with objcopy | 16:31 |
| NCommander | doko, (the resulting binary doesn't work either) | 16:31 |

| cjwatson | ogra_: ask the kernel folks, not me ... | 17:09 |
| ogra_ | ok, well, i though since you are affected as well you might know ... pure lazyness, sorry :) | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | ccheney: automake does it if your program uses automake; otherwise copy manually | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: sorry, I've seen it being worked on but don't know the exact current status | 17:10 |
| ogra_ | yeah, i'll ask the the source ;) | 17:10 |

| NCommander | ogra_, bust on using newlib | 17:13 |
| NCommander | ogra_, stack-protector gets in the way; /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.4.0/libsupc++.a(eh_alloc.o): In function `global constructors keyed to eh_alloc.cc': | 17:14 |
| NCommander | (.text._GLOBAL__I_eh_alloc.cc+0x90): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard' | 17:14 |
| NCommander | ogra_, so using an alternate libc just got shot down :-/ | 17:14 |
| NCommander | (just for reference sake, -fno-stack-protector is passed and used, the problem is the internally GCC libraries use it; that only matters when trying to change libcs) | 17:15 |

| NCommander | doko, (that is to say, setting up the necessary symlinks) | 18:07 |

| glatzor | olof_, hello. I worked on s-p-gtk some time ago. | 21:30 |
| glatzor | olof_, Currently I am writting aptdaemon which allows to install/remove packages using policykit. I plan to also add support for installing signatures and enabling/disabline repositories | 21:31 |
| glatzor | olof_, aptdaemon would already provide you a working dbus service that you could enhance. | 21:32 |
| olof_ | glatzor: Oh, cool, I have little experience of policykit and python, but I found the first obstacle. software-properties-gtk need to access some keyrings and /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg. I don't know what to do now? Allow it to be read as root? Rewrite the fetching of keys? | 21:33 |
| olof_ | glatzor, What is aptdaemon? Can I find info somewhere? | 21:33 |
| glatzor | olof_, https://launchpad.net/aptdaemon | 21:34 |
| olof_ | glatzor, Just found it :) | 21:35 |
| glatzor | olof_, software-properties-gtk makes use of python-software-properties and aptsources | 21:36 |
| glatzor | glatzor, basically you could just call the methods of software-properties directly in the aptdaemon | 21:38 |
| olof_ | glatzor, I did some digging in the source code and found that it uses gpg directly. Does aptdaemon provide an API for that instead? | 21:39 |
| glatzor | olof_, so you don't have to worry about the level things | 21:39 |
| glatzor | olof_, no. not yet. you would have to just "import SoftwareProperties" | 21:40 |
| glatzor | in aptdaemon | 21:40 |
| glatzor | olof_, it doesn't make sense to duplicate work. | 21:40 |
| ogra_ | glatzor, tell that microsoft ... | 21:44 |
| ogra_ | they duplicate our work all the time instead of invesing into ubuntu ;) | 21:44 |
| olof_ | glatzor, Which package do I need for the SoftwareProperties module? | 21:45 |
| glatzor | olof_, python-software-properties, but it should be installed on every desktop system | 21:45 |
| glatzor | by default | 21:46 |
| glatzor | https://launchpad.net/software-properties | 21:46 |
| glatzor | There you can also find the source code | 21:46 |
| olof_ | glatzor, I have python-software-properties installed, and tried import SoftwareProperties in a testprogram, but python can't find it | 21:48 |
| glatzor | olof_, sorry. the package name is softwareproperties | 21:49 |
| olof_ | glatzor, That worked better. I will check out the source code a bit, and probably return for more questions | 21:50 |
| glatzor | "pydoc softwareproperties.SoftwareProperties" will give you a short overview | 21:51 |
| olof_ | glatzor, Thanks, I'm quite new to Python, so I feel a bit lost | 21:52 |
| glatzor | olof_, no problem. the redesign of software-properties was also one of my first Python projects :) | 21:54 |
| olof_ | glatzor, I just noticed that this was my starting point. I will try to be more specific. In AptAuth.py in the softwareproperties module, there is a call to /usr/bin/gpg. My idea was to use policykit to run only this command (as a starting point). Is that the way to do it, or does aptdaemon you talked about, provide a wrapper to work around this syscall? | 21:57 |
| glatzor | olof_, there is no need for caring about the low level system calls. softwareproperties is already a wrapper. | 21:58 |
| glatzor | you would have to add functions to aptdaemon which can be called by dbus. in these functions you would call the functions of software-properties | 21:58 |
| glatzor | policykit is only a framework to manage privileges. | 22:00 |
| glatzor | simplified: you can only ask the policykit service if a given user is allowed to do a given task | 22:01 |
| glatzor | aptdaemon already makes use of policykit and provides a rough python api for policykit | 22:01 |
| glatzor | olof_, at first you should take a look at the python dbus tutorial to understand how it can be used | 22:03 |
| olof_ | glatzor, I can't find anywhere to check out the aptdaemon code. | 22:03 |
| glatzor | olof_, you don't need to understand dbus completely, since aptdaemon already provides all the basics for you | 22:04 |
| glatzor | bzr branch lp:aptdemon | 22:04 |
| glatzor | olof_, take a look at the aptdaemon/core.py file: The AptDaemon class provides the dbus service | 22:05 |
| glatzor | olof_, you don't need to use the the transaction/queuing mechanism for the repository handling | 22:07 |
| glatzor | olof_, GetTransactions is a very basic function that you could use as a starting point | 22:08 |
| olof_ | glatzor,Reading the source now. Guess it will take a while to get into it :) | 22:09 |
| glatzor | olof_, you could try to start adding keys at first | 22:09 |
| olof_ | glatzor, Does aptdaemon provide a method for that? Are there any example files? | 22:09 |
| glatzor | olof_, you can use every gpg key | 22:10 |
| glatzor | olof_, try to add a new function to the daemon and the client. it doesn't need to do more than just print "hello world" | 22:15 |
| glatzor | olof_, D-Bus methods use camel case names. So you could create a method InstallKey which accepts a file path | 22:16 |
| olof_ | glatzor, Still trying to fit the pieces together.. do I need to run aptdaemon as a daemon, and then write a client program to interact with it? | 22:16 |
| glatzor | olof_, right. | 22:17 |
| olof_ | Can I run it directly from the directory I checked out with bzr, or do I need to install the daemon first? | 22:18 |
| glatzor | olof_, but luckily there is already a client :) | 22:18 |
| olof_ | glatzor, Hurray!! :) ...where? | 22:18 |
| glatzor | olof_, aptdaemon/client.py and aptdaemon/console.py | 22:18 |
| glatzor | client provides an abstraction for the client side of aptdaemon | 22:18 |
| glatzor | in console you can find the command line client | 22:19 |
| olof_ | console can't find aptdaemon.. never installed python stuff by hand in ubuntu, which I guess I need to do. What to do? | 22:21 |
| glatzor | olof_, you can run all commands directly from the source code repository | 22:21 |
| glatzor | but you need to add some configuration files for dbus | 22:21 |
| glatzor | perhaps it is the easiest way to install the aptdaemon package | 22:22 |
| glatzor | https://launchpad.net/~aptdaemon-developers/+archive/ppa | 22:23 |
| olof_ | Does setup.py have something to do with this, or do I need a .deb to install it correctly? | 22:23 |
| glatzor | olof_, install the aptdaemon package from the ppa | 22:25 |
| glatzor | olof_, afterwards you can run the daemon from the bzr directory: sudo ./aptd -td | 22:26 |
| glatzor | the client command line tool is aptdcon: "./aptdcon install xterm" would install xterm | 22:26 |

| glatzor | olof_, it is less complex, and you don't have to care about the gui | 23:00 |
| glatzor | it is just "print result" :) | 23:01 |
| olof_ | glatzor, yes... tried it to install a package. Worked just fine. Will take a look at the source code. Think I'm starting to get the hang of this. Just need to confirm a few things again :) | 23:02 |
