bankixHi.12:20
bankixI'm just about creating a live system basing heavily on ubuntu. Due there is no way in exchanging the kernel afterwards, but possible to install other new packages on a persistent filesystem (e.g. usb stick), I want apt to keep the kernel I delivered and do not install a newer one, which would only be a waste of space. I set linux-image-*-generic, linux-image-generic and linux-generic on hold, but an apt-get dist-upgrade still wants to install me a 12:23

bankix..found the problem. I should do a "apt-get upgrade" and no "dist-upgrade". Thanks for listening.12:35
bankixBye...12:36
bankixSorry, I've got another question: When running "apt-get update" via chroot (while mounted dev, sys and proc via --bind so the chroot has access to them) it will (re-)start some services -- cron, udev, acpid, and some more. How can I suppress this?12:45
cjwatsonI think what you're supposed to do is write a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script that just does 'exit 101'12:47

asacmaybe that could be moved to the apport wifi hooks too at some point?13:08
mdzasac, yes, that would be great, if you could agree with the kernel team on a standard set of tags13:09
mdzKeybuk, can you give us a hint on what should replace the lshal code in source_network-manager.py ?13:10
bankixBye.13:10
asaci thought about something like udevadmn info --query=all --attribute-walk --path=/sys/class/net/*13:10
asacbut that doesnt work. not sure if we can refer to "class" paths directly in --path ... or if we need to resolve the right sysfs path13:11
mdzasac, this works, but produces a lot of data:13:12
mdzfor dev in /sys/class/net/*; do udevadm info --query=all --attribute-walk --path=$dev; done13:12
mdzwe probably want to parse that into some easier-to-read form13:13
asacseems udevadm info --query=all --path=/class/net/eth2 --attribute-walk works13:13
mdz(the lshal form was not that great either)13:13
asachmm i think its ok for now ... not so sure what type of info we will need, so better have more. the other question is how we can find a good subset of /class/tty/* things without requiring that the modem prober worked well (which adds a ID_NM label)13:14
asacattaching all ttys doesnt sound like the right approach ;)13:15
Keybukmdz: what's source_network-manager.py ?13:15
asacapport hook of NM13:15
asacKeybuk: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~network-manager/network-manager/ubuntu.head/annotate/head%3A/source_network-manager.py13:16
Keybukright that kind of udev query would work fine13:16
Keybuksomeone enterprising could do a python-udev, that would be fun ;)13:16
mdzKeybuk, the apport hook for network-manager, which you'll have on your system in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks13:16
asacok so i would suggest to use the query above for net devices and then think a bit about the modem ttys13:17
asacprobably start with those already identified as NM_ modems13:17
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
asacbut i have to think about it. the udev output is particular useful to have for those modems not properly detected13:18
mdzasac, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager refers to /lib/udev/nm-modem-probe, but i don't have that on my system13:35
mdzthat seems like useful info to add to the hook13:35
asacmdz: we dont have that anymore - since modemmanager landed13:36

asacyeah13:39
asacwonder if there is anything we can do in apport so users get to know that modem related bugs should now get filed against modemmanager package13:41
seb128asac, you can do interactive hooks or be smart13:43
asacseb128: yeah. but i think we should need to check the title entered for words like "3g" and "modem"13:44
mdzasac, I've added modem-manager to the regex in apport, will be in the next upload13:44
seb128asac, why not just have a small interactive hook?13:44
seb128asac, ask "is your issue a 3g modem one"13:44
mdzasac, seb128++13:44
asaci dont know about that feature ;)13:45
asacwould be great for sure13:45
mdzasac, we could easily add a hook which asks the user "which connection are you having a problem with?"13:45
seb128asac, ubuntu-bug -p totem13:45
asacotherwise network-manager will become a "catch all" package similar to firefox13:45
mdzthen change the package, tags, debug info, etc. as appropriate for that13:45
asacsounds good13:45
mdzasac, could let them select either an NM connection profile, or a network interface13:46
asachmm. i think that would be great in the long run. but for now we could also ask for "what type of connection do you have a problem with: a) wired, b) wifi, c) modem/3g, d) VPN"13:47
seb128asac, you have details in package-hooks.txt.gz13:49

dholbachjames_w, seb128, cjwatson: the log is up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Packaging/Training/Logs/2009-08-13 - thanks again15:19
dholbachjames_w, seb128, cjwatson: reading it again it doesn't strike me as too confusing - what do you think?15:19
seb128dholbach, thanks15:19
seb128dholbach, looks good to me too15:21
dholbachseb128: I guess we should have those sessions more often - it was a lot of fun :)15:23
seb128dholbach, yeah, twice a month or something15:25
seb128dholbach, or maybe some one hour sponsoring, ftbfs etc sprint15:25
seb128so some people work together to get things done15:26
dholbachyeah, I'm not sure myself what the best format for it is15:27
dholbachin the ideal world (as I imagine it), we'd have a 24/7 channel and always have a few people whose name is in the topic to indicate they're reviewing right now :)15:27
seb128;-)15:27
ccmseb128: filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango1.0/+bug/413098 - just for tracking this down15:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 413098 in pango1.0 "libpango1.0-0 on karmic crashes (e.g. Firefox)" [Undecided,New]15:28
seb128ccm, thanks15:28
cjwatsondholbach: actually I think that'd be brilliant15:28
seb128dholbach, it seems it's difficult for some people to spend sponsoring time15:29
seb128having a one hour slot with some people and getting some animation on IRC could be good15:29
seb128we would rotate people, that would give some action and get some sponsoring done15:29
dholbacheven if it every now and then (on the WE for example) it says "current reviewer: -"15:30
dholbachseb128: I'd hope those people very soon realised that should MAKE MORE TIME to do reviews :-)15:30
ccheneytkamppeter: OOo bug tracker or lp?15:30
seb128dholbach, well the think is that it's easy to forgot those15:30
ccheneytkamppeter: ah i see it now15:31
seb128or to put them low in your todolist15:31
cjwatsondholbach: do we have #ubuntu-reviews already?15:31
seb128when having a defined slot and some animation can motivated to be there15:31
tkamppeterccheney: OOo bug tracker, I have posted the link here.15:31
ccheneytkamppeter: ok what about the bug, i read it15:32
* cjwatson shuffles his scheduled weekly sponsorship a few hours earlier so that it clashes less with TB meetings15:32
dholbachcjwatson: not yet :)15:32
tkamppeterccheney: Seems that they want to know whether you already started writing a patch or whether they need to start from the beginning, so that they do not do work which you have already done.15:32
dholbachor well... I'm there now15:32
cjwatsondholbach: wanna?15:32
cjwatsonI realise it duplicates #ubuntu-motu a bit at the moment15:33
ccheneytkamppeter: ok followed up and mentioned i have no patch15:33
tkamppeterccheney: Thanks.15:34
dholbachcjwatson: I just brought it up with the packaging training coordinators, but I'd like to bring it up on ubuntu-devel@ for discussion too - somehow we need to get some kind of rotation going15:34
ccheneytkamppeter: looks like it won't make 10.04 from what he said15:34
ccheneytkamppeter: feature freeze for 3.2 (Ubuntu 10.04) is Sept 2115:35
tkamppeterccheney: What exactly means CWS?15:37
tkamppeterccheney: Is this a bigger effort, so that it will only go into 3.3 or 4.0?15:40
ccheneytkamppeter: like a revision control branch for development work15:40
ccheneytkamppeter: i think the only person even requesting it is you so you have to find someone to actually do the work i suppose?15:41
cody-somervillesuperm1, ping15:41
superm1cody-somerville, pong15:41
ccheneytkamppeter: its often hard to get even bugs fixed in a timely manner in OOo via upstream15:41
tkamppeterccheney: I have a person who will perhaps soon work on OOo using the Common Printing Dialog, so he will probably do the PDF output in the same effort then.15:42
tkamppeterccheney: Then a new bug report with attached patch could be opened, perhaps the only form of bug report were they do anything.15:43
ScottKtkamppeter: I recently had need to set up an HP printer on the network from Kubuntu and also from OS X.  I find if we want to 'match' the OS X user experience we will have to worsten printer setup considerably.15:44
* ScottK never did get OS X to work.15:44
ccheneytkamppeter: yea probably so :-\15:44
tkamppeterScottK: So it means printer setup is much better in Ubuntu than in Mac OS X?15:45
ScottKtkamppeter: Yes.15:45
tkamppeterScottK: And our goal is not to copy other OSes but to be better.15:45
ScottKAgreed.15:45
ScottKOn Kubuntu it was just click, click, click until done.15:46
ScottKOn OS X it was the Windows like experience of no driver, hunt it down on the HP web site, download 100+MB file, install, and then have it still not work.15:46
tkamppeterScottK: Recently, one of the managers of the LF asked me why I do the high effort with OpenUsability for the Common Printing Dialog, the printer industry wants standard technologies and therefore I could simply copy a Mac or Windows dialog.15:47
ograwell, we could cut out the clicking :)15:47
ScottKtkamppeter: Heh.  Well they could copy us too.15:48
ccheneyMac has about the same or less market share as linux, so just get open printing dialog done and have them switch instead ;-)15:50

GuyFromHelldamnit, i found it. it's in a patch that also makes the thing require indicator applet >_>17:09
dholbachto give a bit more background on the above: http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest was ported to Django already, but we want to explore how we want a future UI to look17:10
ScottKGuyFromHell: There's a pidgin-libnotify (or something similar) package that if you remove you'll get no notifications.17:11
GuyFromHellScottK, Right, but I've compiled notify-osd and getting the ugly popups from pidgin. I've found the patch of pidgin-libnotify but the patch also makes pidgin-libnotify depend on indicator-applet, which my distro doesn't have17:12
ScottKGuyFromHell: Oh.  Yes, well the presence of that is what stops the fallback dialogs, I think, but you would probably have more luck in #ayatana as they are upstream from this stuff17:13

jdstrandslangasek: hi! re bug #305264, I think we need to get this straightened out because I've got gnutls updates that I need to prepare. my last comment in the bug:18:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 305264 in openldap "gnutls regression: failure in certificate chain validation" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30526418:30
jdstrandWe need to push gnutls12 in Dapper and gnutls26 in Intrepid in -proposed to -security since these fix CVE-2009-2409. Dapper should not be a problem with openldap since openldap uses libssl0.9.8 on Dapper. For Intrepid, openldap will need to be copied as was done with Hardy.18:30
slangasekjdstrand: so the status of that currently is that there are packages in -proposed that haven't cleared validation?18:30
jdstrandslangasek: this bug is a mess... so let me try to recap18:31
jdstrandslangasek: as you probably recall, gnutls made some changes that broke openldap18:31
jdstrandslangasek: so we had to weigh the benefit of the security update with the brokeness18:32
jdstrandslangasek: due to upstream having quite a few problems with regressions with one of the CVEs the -security updates were trying to fix, I uploaded them to -proposed for wider testing18:32
jdstrandslangasek: this was ages ago18:32
jdstrandslangasek: mathiaz prepared openldap packages to work with the new gnutls in -proposed18:33
jdstrand(for hardy afaik)18:33
jdstrandslangasek: gnutls was pocket copied to -security on hardy18:34
jdstrandslangasek: I thought mathiaz' openldap2.3 went to hardy-updates too... (let me check, the bug still shows as Fix Committed)18:34
slangasekopenldap2.3 has a newer version in hardy-updates than hardy-proposed18:35
slangaseker, than hardy-security18:35
jdstrandslangasek: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls12/+bug/305264/comments/35 indicates that we had some intrepid testing (the reporter developed the patch upstream, but the 'Thanks' wasn't exactly clear on this point)18:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 305264 in openldap "gnutls regression: failure in certificate chain validation" [High,Fix committed]18:36
jdstrandslangasek: yes, the hardy task for openldap should be closed18:37
jdstrandslangasek: dapper can safely go to -security IMO, because it won't break openldap, which was the only thing broken by the gnutls updates, because it still uses libssl18:37
jdstrandslangasek: which leaves intrepid18:38
jdstrandslangasek: I've updated the hardy openldap task18:39
slangasekok18:39
jdstrandslangasek: what is your opinion on dapper gnutls12? intrepid gnutls26 and openldap?18:40
slangasekso we want gnutls26 and openldap copied from intrepid-proposed to intrepid-security && intrepid-updates?18:40
jdstrandslangasek: yes18:41
jdstrandslangasek: and really, openldap2.3 should be copied from hardy-updates to hardy-security, while you are at it18:42
slangasekok18:42
keesjdstrand: is that safe?  i.e. it's not built with libs from -updates ?18:43
jdstrandkees: gnutls26 all went through ubuntu-security-proposed18:43
jdstrandkees: and was pocket copied to -proposed later18:44
slangasekjdstrand: how quickly do you need this?  I need an hour or two to finish alpha4 publishing, otherwise if this needs done sooner I can give it my full attention now18:44
jdstrandslangasek: if you'd like, I can take care of it all... I'm not in ubuntu-sru, so I wanted to talk to you18:45
slangasekjdstrand: well, -security trumps -updates anyway, so if you're satisfied that these are ready to go to -security, then yeah, go for it18:45
jdstrandslangasek: ok, thanks18:46
jdstrandkees: though your point is taken on openldap-- I'll make sure it is ok for -security18:47

mynameisdeletedlatest ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 totally suck over nfs+nis19:53
mynameisdeletedmostely has to do with none of the sound-libraries workign I think19:53
mynameisdeletedoss works but alsa-lib is messed up 100% along with anythign built on it such as pulse audio or port audio or audiolib or anything19:54
mynameisdeleteddoes anyone know why this is?19:54
mynameisdeletedI guess thats a #alsa question19:54
mynameisdeletedis there a network file system for nis+shared home dirs taht is ubuntu friendly?19:55
mynameisdeletedand keeps alsa apps working nicely?19:55
mynameisdeletedmaybe its no pipes or something19:56
slangasekmynameisdeleted: I've not heard of any such problems, and NFS is supposed to give complete POSIX semantics as a filesystem.  I'd suggest opening a bug report against pulseaudio if that's what you're having problems with.20:00
mynameisdeletedit fails on mplayer with -ao alsa20:01
mynameisdeletedbut not oss20:01
mynameisdeletedsame with the systemsettings20:01
mynameisdeletedif I test an oss backend thats the only one that works20:01

mynameisdeletednto sure if async is useful or matters20:01

mynameisdeletedaroroa is mesed up by this,... as is firefox which opens a sound library20:06
mynameisdeletedif it was just videogames and music players which haad yet to e switched to oss only mode I'd be happy20:06
mynameisdeletedkonqueror works great if I set to use the oss backend for kubuntu20:07
slangasekmynameisdeleted: this isn't a help channel, and no, there's no reason this shouldn't work on NFS and therefore no reason to think another network filesystem would work better; as I said, you should file a bug report about your issue20:08

kklimondakees: wrt django - would enabling test suite also make it possible to use point releases instead of backporting changes?22:06
keeskklimonda: it is certainly a prerequisite, but it would take more than just that.  See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions22:11
keeskklimonda: so things like "sufficiently high", and "supports micro-version updates to stable releases".  an example of failing the latter is mysql which likes to change/add/remove features in their "micro" releases.22:12
kklimondaI don't have a link right now but django developers are preparing micro releases that are api stable and contain only bug fixes22:13
kklimondakees: do you mind if I take a look at django to enable testsuite or would you rather reporter do it?22:20
