directhexmdz, well, a lost bag not being blown up by the bomb squad is an event10:56
TheMusomterry: You are the first person who has had a pulseaudio upgrade problem of that nature, which makes me think that its probably something to do with your system.10:57
TheMusoI have installed these packages fresh several times over the last week or so, and no changes were made to the upgrade scripts, and I had no problems, and it seems others are not either.10:57
mterryTheMuso, fair enough....  looked like bad syntax of some dpkg call, which would surprise me if it was machine dependent, but if I'm the only one...10:57
TheMusomterry: I'll still take a look though.11:01
TheMusomterry: Actually, found the problem, thanks for the heads up.11:02
mterryTheMuso, sweet11:03
* cjwatson finally fixes the stupid bug where console-setup doesn't work on boot11:09
TheMusomterry: Give it an hour max, and new pulse packages should be available with the fix.11:11
TheMusoI've not long uploaded the fix.11:11

slytherinis there any particular reason why gtk+2.0 package in karmic does not contain libgtk2.0-0.symbols file?11:50
seb128slytherin, we didn't merge on debian since they added it11:53
seb128slytherin, it's probably useful for gtk but no fun to maintain because you have to build gtk once for nothing, get to break because .symbols is not updated, do the update, etc11:54
slytherinAnyway, I am not sure how much the symbol file form Debian will be useful as it is old version.11:54
l3dxoff-topic: anyone know a good resource for setting up emacs for C++ dev?11:54
seb128slytherin, the idea is that you should update that file which each update11:55
slytherinhmm11:55
slangasekpitti: hal in karmic has debian/patches/04_nvidia_brightness.patch, but it's not in the series file?11:55
slytherinI can understand why it is not easy task.11:55
slangasekpitti: (I would like it to be in the series file)11:55
seb128slangasek, isn't hal deprecated anyway?11:56
slangasekseb128: is something else doing backlight handling today?11:56
seb128isn't gnome-power-manager doing that using devkit-power?11:57
slangasekI don't know11:57
slangasekseb128: basically, I'm trying to bring closure to bug #277589, which continues to haunt me because people affected by it are making arbitrary changes to their fdi files in ways that fix it for them, break it for everyone else, and provide no guidance regarding a fix that can be integrated properly :/11:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 277589 in hal "sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine)" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27758911:59
* slangasek finds no instances of 'bright' or 'backlight' in the devicekit-power source, so I guess it's not doing it today?12:01
seb128slangasek, that's a question for pitti I guess, I didn't look at that closely12:05
slangasekseb128: pull pitti's beard to make him pay attention to me, then ;)12:06
seb128slangasek, done12:06
pittihey12:07
pittislangasek: that sounds like a bug indeed, it's supposed to be there12:08
pittislangasek: ah, I might have disabled it because we don't use it any more anyway12:08
pittibut that might have been a lie, g-p-m still talks to hal for brightness12:09
pittiso if it fixes it, let's re-add it12:09
pittislangasek: beard> ouch :)12:09
slangasekpitti: it doesn't fix it, I just noticed as I went to try to follow through on it that the patch wasn't applied12:11
slangasekpitti: anyway, I need your brain to help me with the question in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/277589/comments/51 in order to finally nail this, I think12:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 277589 in hal "sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine)" [Medium,In progress]12:11
slangasek(or, well, if your brain is not available, I'll muddle through and come up with something that looks suitable to me)12:12
pittislangasek: right, that would make sense; they need to point to the smartdimmer specific scripts to change the brightness12:14
pittislangasek: the get/set scripts just call some CLI tool, so it doesn't need an addon?12:15
slangasekpitti: uh... that sounds accurate12:17
pittislangasek: an addon is something that runs all the time, like the process that polls CD-ROMs for media12:17
pittibut since I suppose we don't need to react to events from the backlight (just from input events from keys, which is already provided), it doesn't need an addon12:18
TheMusocjwatson: I have just come up with a preliminary list of source packages that libpulse0 depends on that will need to be made bi-arch. I have a feeling that some of these are not actually depended on, so I will have to look at the pulse code to see what are actually needed, so that list may yet be trimmed.12:24
TheMusoNevertheless, there is currently 11 packages on the list. So I certainly think I will likely need help to address all of these.12:24
cjwatsonTheMuso: lovely :-/12:27
cjwatsonmdz: sounds sensible, though it's in universe right now ... this is the first I've heard of iw12:27

TheMusocjwatson: it seems that there are a few packages that libpulse0 depends upon, but are not actually needed, however due to the way pulse is built, they are linked against libpulse0 anyway, even though no symbols are used. I am going to see if I can fix this somehow.15:46
pittiTheMuso: -Wl,--as-needed might work for some of them15:47

=== beuno_ is now known as beuno
TheMusoFor the record, this caused pulseaudio to FTBFS.15:57
seb128TheMuso, which means it's probably using libraries and not specifying -l<lib> for all the libs it's using16:01
seb128TheMuso, and you want to use the flag on client applications to cut the unneeded depends not on pulseaudio directly16:01
TheMusoseb128: I am trying to cut down on the unneeded dependencies of libpulse0, as it is linked/depends on libraries even though it doesn't use any of their symbols.16:06
seb128TheMuso, right, so you need to use --as-needed on applications who depends on libpulse now wrongly16:10
seb128that should cut the shlibs:depends to real depends16:11
slytherinWhy isn't --as-needed a default flag? does it not always work as expected?16:22
slangasekScottK: boost1.37 removed, asio appears to still depend/build-depend on it: any plans for fixing that?16:22

TheMusoHas anybody ever had to clean .la files during a package build, the .la files in question being generated by the package build itself?17:44
seb128TheMuso, "had"17:45
seb128?17:45
seb128ie, how do you want to clean those and why?17:45
seb128we stopped installing those for random package and clean content for others in gnome17:45
TheMusoseb128: Clean them, as in clearing the dependency_libs variable, because its causing libraries to be uselessly linked against other libraries17:45
seb128TheMuso, if you use cdbs you can include clean-la.mk17:46
seb128TheMuso, that does what you want17:46
seb128TheMuso, otherwise you can copy the /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/clean-la.mk snippet17:47
TheMusoseb128: yes, during the package install. My issue is with .la files that are used during the package build itself, that are internal to the package, not external.17:47
TheMusoOk, pulseaudio has several libraries that parts of itself need linking to. When these libraries are initially built, they create .la files that include dependencies which are then uselessly linked against other libraries.17:48
seb128TheMuso, you can probably patch the source package directly too17:48
TheMusoYeah I think thats the best option.17:49
cjwatsonogra: done17:51
ogracjwatson, merci :17:52
ogra:)17:52
seb128TheMuso, gtk only does clean the .la in the install target not during the build17:53
seb128ie similar to what cdbs is doing, not really useful for your issue17:53
TheMusoseb128: ok thanks, I'll see if I can patch the build system, perhaps ltmain.sh to work around the issue.17:54
seb128TheMuso, you can try asking Keybuk about that maybe, he's the libtool expert around17:55
