RAOFDown the bottom of the GDM screen there's a listview.05:12
RAOFA _dreaded_ listview :).  Maybe we can make gdm crash :)05:12
RAOFThis only appears when you've selected a user to log in as, though.05:14

RAOFHeh.  I think I might still have gdm -ubuntu3 here, so...05:22

wgrantRAOF: Thanks.05:56
RAOFIt's apparently gtk using deprecated APIs internally, and missing the crucial difference between an int and a pointer.05:56
wgrantHaha.05:57
wgrantIt's also incredibly annoying.05:57
RAOFYes.05:57
wgrantI can't *quite* work out how to trigger it.05:57
RAOFThere are some git commits referenced in that report, and, of course, sizeof(int) == sizeof(void *) for IA32.05:58
RAOFwgrant: Evolution is the best way of triggering it that I've found.05:59
wgrantRAOF: Some listboxes only do it when you manipulate them in a particular way.05:59
wgrantThe OS selector in virt-manager, for example.06:00
RAOFYeah.06:00
wgrantIt's usable unless you use it wrong.06:00
RAOFWhich is why I haven't rolled a local gtk package with those git commits added; it's insufficiently annoying.06:00
RAOFIt's _just_ easy enough to work around :)06:00
wgrantYep.06:01
maxbThere'd be a PPA one by now, if the buildds weren't supersaturade06:02

wgrantAs there are lots of P3As.06:19
Sarvattits the new fad :D06:19
wgrantThat bug has a nice activity log.06:19
maxbUnless P3A builds just vanish the builder from the builders page, there don't seem to be that many P3A builds06:21
wgrantmaxb: The builders appear with a red X next to them. Sometimes there are lots, but sometimes there are none.06:22
maxbok - I've not seen that for PPA builders very often06:24
maxbSo I think a PPA +builds would still be adequately useful06:24

\shipconfig + low cost table switches == works like a charm, but using cisco switches with spanning trees and portfast configs etc. it gives you really nightmares07:37
\shthe timeframe between bringing the NIC up and the first dhcp request from ipconfig is too fast and then it failes mostly with a kernel error: can't mount nfs rootfs , setting the timeout up to 180 secs (which should be more then enough to have ipconfig retry it's request) is not even enough...-t 240 to -t 360 is the only way to force ipconfig to redo the request...but that's far too long07:39

pittiajmitch: >= 2.2609:00
ajmitchI'm guessing it only affects some people, since I haven't had a problem since rebooting09:01
persiaBooting without any mention of splash fixes it as well.09:02
geserajmitch: check on which tty you currently are on: tty1 or tty709:02
ajmitchpersia: I know I have splash set, I had to wait through a fsck of 450GB09:03
ajmitchgeser: X reports being on tty709:03
geserajmitch: then you are lucky09:03
persiaajmitch, Dunno then.  Just started happening to me yesterday on karmic.  Doesn't happen anymore without splash.09:04
geserit only happens when gdm and getty fight for tty1 and gdm loses09:04
ajmitchsounds like a fun bug to solve09:04
persiageser, Amusingly, I have X on tty7, once it works.09:06
persiaWell, easy way to fix it is just to get the boot fast enough that we don't need splash, which I understood to be the goal.09:07
geseryes, it only happens to the first gdm, after one gets kicked gdm takes tty709:07
chrisccoulsonpitti - would you like to review the changes in https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~chrisccoulson/gnome-session/ubuntu ? It splits gnome-session in to 2 packages now. With the current single package, the new GDM dependency on gnome-session causes a broken gnome to be started on Xubuntu instead of xfce09:34
pittichrisccoulson: right, this was discussed yesterday; is this a Debian merge? (they did the split)09:36
chrisccoulsonthe split is basically taken from debian, with a couple of minor changes. they also moved all the autostart files from /etc/xdg/autostart to /usr/share/autostart, which hasn't been copied across09:36
chrisccoulsonand i put the helpers in gnome-session instead of gnome-session-bin, although these need splitting some more, as GDM requires the g-s-d helper it seems09:38
chrisccoulsonand i've just noticed the gnome-settings-daemon dependency needs to move from gnome-session to gnome-session-bin, as that seems to be required by GDM too09:39

djsiegel_pitti: ping13:48
pittihey djsiegel_13:48
djsiegel_pitti: sorry, as soon as I contact you I get interrupted...13:52
djsiegel_2 minutes...13:52
djsiegel_pitti: ok13:52
djsiegel_pitti: openSUSE, Jolicloud, and now moblin are integrating Do13:53
djsiegel_pitti: I have a lot of feedback from UNR users who installed Do and put it to great use13:53
djsiegel_I think it's even being considered for UNR already13:53
djsiegel_Mark asked me 8 months back about putting in main, and I said -1 because it's kind of an advanced user app13:54
djsiegel_but I am getting a lot of pressure from GNOME at GCDS to put it in GNOME (I think they are determined to)13:54
djsiegel_so, I think we should talk about shipping it with karmic13:54
pittidjsiegel_: hm, I haven't used it myself, but it seems to me that gnome-shell does a lot of this as well?13:55
djsiegel_pitti: no, it's very different13:56
djsiegel_pitti: and are we shipping gnome-shell in Karmic?13:56
pittidjsiegel_: not by default, but it'll be available13:56
ograwe would if upstream did13:56
djsiegel_Do is tested, translated, and has millions of installs13:56
djsiegel_gnome-shell will not be on in 2.2813:56
djsiegel_it indexes your online contacts, docs, twitter friends, etc etc etc13:57
pittiusing tracker?13:57
djsiegel_no, its own indexer13:57
pittiuh13:57
djsiegel_Mark said he was for it, and to talk to you, Keybuk and Ivanka13:57
pittiwe made lots of bad experience with tracker and beagle13:57
pittiis gnome-do more lightweight in indexing all your files?13:58
djsiegel_Tracker doesn't index your online life13:58
Laneyhow do we make do discoverable to new users?13:58
pitti(and it seems utterly hard to get file indexing right)13:58
djsiegel_pitti: it's not file search13:58
pittidjsiegel_: right, I know; does gnome-do index your local files?13:58
pittiah, ok13:58
djsiegel_pitti: yes, you can set it to13:58
djsiegel_for example, index just your desktop, or your docs folder 2 levels deep13:58
Keybukdjsiegel_: my main concern is how long it'd take to start13:58
ograpkgmaintainermangler: Not overriding Maintainer for domain lists.ubuntu.com13:58
ogradpkg-deb: warning: 'debian/libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field 'Original-Maintainer'13:58
ogradpkg-deb: ignoring 1 warnings about the control file(s)13:58
djsiegel_Keybuk: I don't suggest turning it on by default13:59
ograhrm, whats that ?13:59
djsiegel_just putting it in Accessories13:59
pittidjsiegel_: I'm pretty much against indexing your files by default, but anything other than that I'm open (CD space constraints apply, of course)13:59
djsiegel_pitti: it doesn't index by default13:59
Keybukdjsiegel_: if you start it from Accessories, how do you configure it to start on startup if you like it?13:59
djsiegel_just your apps13:59
djsiegel_by default13:59
djsiegel_Keybuk: in the Do prefs, you check the "Start at login" checkbox13:59

djsiegel_I am not crazy about it, I don't think it's the future of the desktop or the perfect app or great for all users, but EVERYONE seems to be shipping it and making at least some of their users happy, so it seems like we should have it too.14:01

djsiegel_I mean, if GNOME Do is being used to make any linux offering more attractive, it should be the linux offering of the company I work for and believe in.14:02
pittidjsiegel_: ok, then it seems the remaining question is to find a maintainer for it14:02
djsiegel_pitti: find a maintainer?14:02
Keybukdjsiegel_: for the packaging14:02
djsiegel_pitti: Chris Halse Rogers14:02
ograno, but honestly, why does pkgmaintainermangler hang for 150 min14:02
djsiegel_pitti: RAOF on freenode14:03
pittidjsiegel_: for keeping up with the bugs, packaging, testing in Ubuntu, etc.14:03
djsiegel_yes, basically our entire project targets ubuntu14:03
Laneyit's maintained in the CLI apps team :)14:03
cjwatsonRAOF does Ubuntu stuff14:03
djsiegel_we have 5 core contributors, all use ubuntu, and we target all of our releases to land in ubuntu14:03
Keybukok, easy next step then14:05
Keybukone of them should write a MainInclusionReport for it14:05
pittithat sounds good14:05
Keybukand they should talk with Colin or Steve about CD sizes requirements14:06
pittiapt-get install gnome-do pulls in 6.7 MB14:06
pittithat's very heavy14:06
cjwatson*choke*14:06
Keybukyeah, that may need to be addressed14:06
pittignome-do-plugins is 5.714:06
cjwatsonperhaps drop gnome-do-plugins to Suggests?14:06
cjwatsonhalf a megabyte for gnome-do itself still probably means one fewer language on the CD, but is a bit more tolerable14:07
pitti(one MB)14:07
Keybukpitti: really, what else is it depending on that f-spot and tomboy don't already?14:08
pittilibevolution5.0-cil libgdata1.4-cil libgnomedesktop2.20-cil librsvg2-2.18-cil libwnck2.20-cil14:08
djsiegel_we could drop some plugins14:08
tgpraveenin the gnome 3 work flow. do might not be required just my 2 cents14:08
pittilibgnomedesktop2.20-cil should disappear anyway14:08
pittiit's deprecated14:08
djsiegel_split out the community plugins should drop 3-4mb14:08
Keybukdjsiegel_: even 3MB is a lot of ask for the CD14:09
Laneythere is a plugins split waiting for a Debian upload14:09
Keybukdjsiegel_: the CD is full, any new thing added means something comes off14:09
pittiright now, it's really oversized14:09
pittibecause we removed all langpacks14:09
pittibut that's a temporary hack14:10
pitti(we have some better solutions up our sleeve, though)14:10
djsiegel_:) of course you guys do14:10
cjwatsontgpraveen: as indicated in the discussion above, this is being discussed for the time being rather than as a permanent addition14:11
* ogra always wondered if these solutions are less in summer where the sleeves are shorter ... or do the sleeves just get wider ?14:11
kenvandinepitti, how do you feel about making python-distutils-extra put files in ./bin into /usr/bin?14:12
djsiegel_cjwatson tgpraveen, this is definitely a temporary move to satisfy user demand14:12
djsiegel_I did not want to push this at all, but I am now being pushed14:13
tgpraveendjsiegel_: so have it in karmic and then not in karmic+1(if gnome 3 is included with it)? wouldnt it be better to include this just in in UNR14:14
pittikenvandine: that should already happen14:14
tgpraveenit seems to have more use in that situation14:14
kenvandinenope...14:14
kenvandineit takes any scripts in the current dir and installs them in /usr/bin/14:14
kenvandinenot stuff in ./bin/14:14
djsiegel_tgpraveen: well, Do's advantage is made clearer on netbooks14:14
pittikenvandine: hm, it should be exactly the other way round14:15
djsiegel_tgpraveen: I am heard it's going into UNR, I am talking about Desktop14:15
pittikenvandine: all exectuable scripts in ./bin, and ./<projectname>, nothing else14:15
djsiegel_I have heard*14:15
seb128what is the discussion about there?14:16
Laneyputting Do in the default desktop14:16
pittiseb128: including gnome-do to the default install14:17
seb128hum14:17
kenvandinepitti, oh... i figured it out14:17
seb128need to think about that but I'm not sure how the GNOME people would take that14:17
kenvandinequickly created a script of the same name in the current dir14:17
kenvandinethe same name as what i had in bin14:18
kenvandineso nevermind :)14:18
djsiegel_seb128: GNOME is pushing me really hard for GNOME inclusion14:18
seb128djsiegel_, does it fit with the gnome-shell vision?14:18
djsiegel_seb128: I was told they already discussed it and want it14:18
djsiegel_seb128: I don't know if it's going to be a part of the long term shell vision14:18
seb128ah ok14:18
seb128I guess it makes sense meanwhile14:19
djsiegel_I am just being overwhelmed at GCDS by Novell, Moblin, GNOME, jolicloud to integrate Do14:19
seb128not sure about how gnome-shell and gnome-do woult fit together though14:19
djsiegel_yeah, me neither14:19
cjwatsonKeybuk: with Kay's patch, the initial 'udevadm settle' on d-i startup just sits there and never seems to terminate14:19
seb128the thing is that we pretty much planned changes for karmic now14:19
* cjwatson attempts to get some debugging14:19
seb128and a lts is not the best cycle for such changes14:19
seb128maybe we should try to push it for karmic if we want it before the next lts14:20
djsiegel_yes, I am talking about karmic14:20
seb128interesting ;-)14:20
seb128pitti, should be discuss that next week during the meeting14:21
seb128be -> we14:21
cjwatsonKeybuk: "handle_ctrl_msg: udevd message (SETTLE) received" and then it just sits there14:21
pittiseb128: I think so14:21
pittiit's not very intrusive in terms of planned specs14:22
pittijust for CD space, but that can be solved first14:22
Keybukcjwatson: could you add that to the bug14:22
cjwatsonsure14:22
cjwatsonsorry, need to curb my debug-on-IRC habits :)14:24

ograhmm, what replaces glade in karmic ?14:43
directhexhm. Laney, can you try pbuildering f-spot on karmic? it ought to drop libmono0 as a dep if memory serves14:44
Laneydirecthex: ok14:44
* ogra just noticed it was uninstalled when upgrading from jaunty14:44
Laneythere's a new revision waiting for sponsorship (hi ajmitch!) that will be a good excuse for it anyway14:44

seb128ogra, glade14:45
seb128ogra, it's just glade3 by default now instead of glade214:45
ograah, thanks14:45

directhexwait, what? :o14:46
Laneyhuh?!14:46
seb128that's what they announced at GUADEC14:46
seb128the banshee platform will act as a database14:46
seb128and do photos14:46
Laneyslides plz14:46
directhexsounds like i'm missing stuff out from gdcs o_o14:46
seb128then you get views on top and f-spot will be a banshee view14:46
directhexgcds14:46
seb128they will have the classic ui still14:47
seb128and a netbook optimized one14:47
seb128and they aim at doing on in moonlight later14:47
directhexwake me when mono-enabled moonlight doesn't require mono trunk to build14:47
directhexstill, that sounds pretty exciting14:48
Laneyseb128: who gave the talk?14:48
seb128aaron14:48
directhexLaney, only 2 bits of 2.4.2 left to package \o/14:51

Laney"mono"?14:51
directhexLaney, um, yes, that's one of them14:51
Laneyha14:52
directhexand it kinda sorta needs to go through NEW14:52
directhexand, well, be done too.14:52
directhexmod-mono isn't too hard, but involves breaking all the debconf translations14:52
Laneyoh libmono0 is still there btw14:53
directhexit is? curious, i wonder why14:53
directhexis it an auto-dep?14:54
Laneyyep14:54
directhexehm..... f-spot p/invokes libmono.so.0 ?14:54
seb128btw banshee by default in karmic seems not likely14:55
directhexseb128, i agree.14:55
seb128they don't want to commit to a 1.6 schedule and rolled only one 1.5 version until now14:55
directhexseb128, i think the bigger concern from where i'm sat is the atk# bugs only fixed in trunk, with no plans for a release any time soon14:56
seb128that too14:56
ograoh, that would be great14:57
seb128ogra, what?14:57
directhexogra, what would?14:57
ograsaves me from having to fix it on armel14:57
directhexit's broken on armel?14:57
seb128oh banshee14:57
ograwhich is really tricky atm since we have no audio codecs at all yet14:58
ogranor drivers14:58
seb128you don't care about music players if you have no sound working...14:59
directhexi think the unr folks still want banshee, but i don't know their timescales14:59
directhexat any rate, bugs are filed upstream and ARE being worked through over the assorted issues, so that's good14:59
seb128directhex, I expect they have a karmicy timeline14:59
ograseb128, i have to care for all default desktop apps to basically work14:59

Laneybluefoxicy: are you talking about hardy?23:34
ScottK-desktopIt's more users that don't use their official client are a small enough part of their market that they can.23:34
bluefoxicyLaney:  Jaunty.  The version client is 2.5.5 here.23:34
Laney...have you checked -updates?23:34
bluefoxicyclient version here23:34
bluefoxicyLaney:  yes?23:34
bluefoxicyI'm always up to date.  This has been going on for weeks.23:35
Laneyapparently not23:35
bluefoxicycurrent version in Jaunty is 1:2.5.5ubuntu8.323:36
LaneyI'm trying to hint that it was fixed in jaunty23:36
bluefoxicywas that this morning?23:37
ajmitch_by some odd person called iain lane23:37
ScottK-desktophmmm.  doesn't ring a bell.23:37
bluefoxicyLaney:  I just restarted my client, and that fixed it.  :|  Hmm.23:38
Laney;)23:38
ajmitch_magic!23:38
bluefoxicythe odd thing is my system automatically applies updates, the last time I did so was yesterday, and I restarted pidgin due to forced reboot (kernel freeze).  WTF?23:38
* bluefoxicy shrugs.23:39
bluefoxicyIt's a computer, it's supposed to act weird.  That's why IT people are seen as wielders of black magic.23:39
directhexcjwatson, anything you could do with 2.7 meg of cd space?23:41
slangasekdirecthex: no need to tease...23:42
directhexslangasek, why not? :(23:42
directhexslangasek, new f-spot i just committed to pkg-cli-apps svn means dumping libmono0 from the cd23:43
ionThe guy who suggested removing Gimp from the CD could be on to something. As a Gimp user, i can just install it, just like all the other photo tools that aren’t installed by default. F-spot can handle some basic editing.23:43
slangasekdirecthex: yaaay23:44
directhexion, i see gimp as a flag-bearer app. one with a god-awful GUI, of course, but i'd be sad not to see it23:44
ebroderApps with god-awful UIs don't make good flag-bearers23:44
directhexion, i see gimp as more useful than, say, a rdesktop client23:44
directhexslangasek, and a nant upload i'm waiting on will banish winforms to universe23:46
slangasekhah, nice23:46
cjwatsondirecthex: I won't say no23:46
directhexi'm rather looking forward to running the mono disk consumption stats for karmic. i reckon we're close to feisty's numbers this cycle23:51
