| tkamppeter | pitti, I have discovered that CUPS now does not only have 2 libs (libcups, libcupsimage), but 4 new libs added (libcupscgi, libcupsdriver, libcupsmime, libcupsppdc). Do we need 8 additional binary packages (including -dev) now? | 07:47 |

| pitti | StevenK: SOVER? | 07:54 |
| tkamppeter | I have done everything to make the new CUPS build: adapted patches, taken a patch from Red Hat to make the new dnssd backend build (the original uses an API which is probably not available under Linux), adapted the PDF filter package to work with both 1.3 and 1.4, fixed small bugs in the new CUPS, ... | 07:54 |
| tkamppeter | StevenK: pitti called this SONAME in a conversation with robert_ancell on #ubuntu_desktop. | 07:55 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: thanks muchly | 07:55 |
| tkamppeter | pitti: Remaining is now to obsolete cupsddk and to distribute the files to the binary packages of CUPS and to package all the new libraries. | 07:57 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, if you make a conditional patch to solve the pdftoopvp problem, can you make it in a way that it applies only to Debian and not to Ubuntu, this way one can have the debian/local/filters/pdf-filters being exactly the upstream tarball. | 08:08 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: yes, I can also do it the other way around ("disable-pdftoopvp.dpatch") | 08:09 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I won't actually check for "Ubuntu", I'll check the version number of poppler | 08:09 |

| === Guest77631 is now known as Zic | ||
| tkamppeter | pitti, what about creating packages libcups-extra1 and libcups-extra-dev for the 4 extra CUPS libraries? | 11:27 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: they all have soname 1? "extra" sounds a bit weird, maybe pick one of the existing names? | 11:28 |
| tkamppeter | They are all of soname 1, but picking one of the lib names is also not good, they are completely different. | 11:29 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: however, I don't really like "extra", it's a hack; either we put them all into an existing package, or we should package them properly | 11:29 |
| tkamppeter | putting them into "cups" is bad, as then a program only needing one of the libs would pull in the CUPS daemon. | 11:30 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: there's no way to statically link them to cupsd, until other programs actually need them? | 11:30 |
| pitti | well, other binaries might need them as well | 11:30 |
| pitti | seems there's no really good way of avoiding 4 new libs :/ | 11:30 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, they can also be used by CUPS clients on a daemon-less server | 11:30 |
| pitti | right | 11:31 |
| tkamppeter | Or by PPD-generating programs, imagine the CUPS daemon would run on OpenPrinting, only because there is a program generating driver packages. | 11:31 |
| === thumper is now known as thumper-zzz | ||
| tkamppeter | pitti, now I discovered that there is a package named cups-common, I could put the libraries there. | 11:36 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: no, that's arch:all, and not meant for libraries | 11:37 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: let's just package them properly instead of wasting time on ugly and policy breaking hacks which we'll need to fix later anyway | 11:37 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I could switch that to arch:any | 11:37 |
| pitti | once one of the libs changes ABI, it would break everything | 11:38 |
| tkamppeter | So I will make real library packages. Even if these libraries are not meant as API libs for apps, sooner or later someone will use them and then we have to change our packages to avoid side effects. | 11:38 |

| cjwatson | Cyberkilla: I don't know anything about this but perhaps generic advice is better than nothing. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting has general advice on reporting good-quality X bugs that contain a decent amount of information, and links to some pages with more details. #ubuntu-x may have more experts paying attention, although not necessarily right at this moment | 12:53 |

| cjwatson | I sympathise but am unlikely to have a chance to figure this out, sorry | 13:05 |
| cjwatson | of course the debhelper commands that are called with -i are not the only relevant parts; you need to make sure that something is actually installed into the package build directories too | 13:06 |

| NCommander | cjwatson, any archive admin, can you please promote the linux-mvl-dove udebs so d-i can build? The kernel itself got kicked to main, but the udebs are still in universe | 16:51 |
| sistpoty|work | kirkland: yep, but I mean the bios... don't we as ubuntu have to make the sources available or offer s.th. written then? (I'm no licensing expert though) | 16:51 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: done | 16:52 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, thanks, I'll have a revised branch that has been fully test built for you ASAP | 16:53 |
| doko | ScottK: looks ok | 16:54 |
| ScottK | doko: Thanks. | 16:54 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: hmm, i'm not sure about that one ... qemu and kvm have always shipped at least some bios.bin's as prebuilt bios blobs; I'll have to check under what conditions this has been approved in the past | 16:54 |
| sistpoty|work | kirkland: I think if the source from which a prebuilt blob is available in the package, that would work... but as I wrote, I don't have too much clue with legalize ;) | 16:55 |
| sistpoty|work | is available along with the blob even. | 16:56 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: so you're suggesting I grab that source, and drop it in the debian dir and debian/copyrights for good measure? | 16:57 |
| sistpoty|work | kirkland: yes, but the tough thing is to make sure that it matches the blob. and I'm suggesting to ask someone who knows for sure ;) | 16:57 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: the other option is to add --disable-blobs to the ./configure optiosn | 16:58 |
| sistpoty|work | kirkland: and to remove it from the source tarball, yes, if it's still working then | 16:58 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: well, it would break some of qemu's arches, IIUC | 16:59 |
| _sick | anyone knows if the idb (intel debugger) works with the gdb machine interface ? | 16:59 |
| sistpoty|work | kirkland: hm... :/ | 17:00 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: talking with the qemu maintainers privately right now, they feel that they're covered, because one of the qemu maintainers is also an openbios maintainer | 17:00 |
| === marjomercado is now known as marjo | ||
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: and their intention is to ship the source of the openbios blobs in 0.12 | 17:00 |
| sistpoty|work | kirkland: oh, cool :) | 17:01 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: but 0.12 is karmic+1 | 17:01 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: they're in 0.11-rc1 right now ... i just asked if they'd add the openbios sources to -rc2 ... discussing now | 17:01 |
| kirkland | sistpoty|work: qemu upstream says shipping those sources in -rc2 is probably not going to happen; i'd need to drop them in our package | 17:04 |

| jdstrand | mathiaz: I've tried for some time, off and on | 17:07 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: yeah - I run into this one all the time | 17:08 |
| jdstrand | me too | 17:08 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: when I clone vm | 17:08 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: and they start for the first start, I run into this issue | 17:08 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: but I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it | 17:08 |
| jdstrand | mathiaz: does it happen every time you clone a vm? | 17:08 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: yes | 17:08 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: if I reboot the vm, it's gone - sometimes | 17:09 |
| jdstrand | mathiaz: maybe the bug can be triggered when ssh notices a new interface and starts listening on it | 17:09 |

| mathiaz | jdstrand: in the vm only | 17:09 |
| jdstrand | ok, nm my comment then | 17:09 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have completed the packaging of CUPS 1.4.0 now. | 17:16 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, can you now add the conditional patch for deactivating pdftoopvp in Debian and then upload the resulting package to Debian and Ubuntu. Thanks. | 17:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: great, thanks! | 17:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: yup, on my list | 17:18 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, another problem is that we now have to blacklist the usblp kernel module. How should this be done? Should CUPS add a config file to /etc/modules.d for doing that or should it simply be part of the default configuration for the kernel modules? | 17:23 |
| tkamppeter | With the module loaded the "usb" CUPS backend does not see any printer. | 17:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: blacklist? why? | 17:25 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: oh, so that the module doesn't grab the raw device? | 17:25 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ideally we'd just not build it at all in the kernel | 17:26 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: but that's an issue in Debian as well then | 17:26 |
| tkamppeter | pitti: Yes. | 17:26 |
| pitti | it just seems like a bad design to me, though | 17:26 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I guess for now we need to add it to the default blacklist in module-init-tools, yes | 17:27 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, OK. | 17:27 |
| pitti | ok, need to run (dinner and Taekwondo), see you all tomorrow! | 17:27 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, it is really a bad design, a good usb backend would work both with and without usblp kernel module. | 17:28 |

| james_w | yeah | 17:43 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: yes | 17:43 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, hrm, then the udeb should be in main now, no? | 17:44 |
| mathiaz | james_w: the reason for rejection was the inclusion of spec testing? | 17:44 |
| james_w | mathiaz: I rejected it as I sponsored a newer version in to NEW | 17:44 |
| mathiaz | james_w: oh - cool | 17:44 |
| mathiaz | james_w: does this mean that merb has been accepted now? | 17:44 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, I'm just wondering if udebs are special w.r.t. to promotion and such | 17:44 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: that was fixed - they're down to a bit over half an hour now - but the publisher is crashing | 17:45 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: Thanks. Good to know (the fixed part anyway). | 17:45 |

| james_w | yeah | 17:47 |
| mathiaz | james_w: but you won't have to process the NEW queue today? | 17:47 |
| james_w | it's a repacking to remove all the embedded code | 17:47 |

| jtimberman | Guess so, I haven't seen an email about that from the system. | 17:49 |
| james_w | it is | 17:49 |
| jtimberman | mathiaz: i fixed the issue it was rejected for, and a new issue james_w found. | 17:49 |

| slangasek | ogra: er, I never said to not build the Architecture: all packages - are we playing telephone, here? | 18:00 |
| ogra | slangasek, well, something is wrong | 18:00 |
| ogra | the 300.4 package had three Arch: all packages | 18:00 |
| ogra | but they werent picked up anywhere for build it seems | 18:00 |
| ogra | doing a local armel build they appear | 18:01 |
| ogra | ogra@dove:~/linux-mvl-dove-2.6.31$ ls ../*.deb | 18:01 |
| ogra | ../linux-headers-2.6.31-200_2.6.31-200.4_all.deb ../linux-image-2.6.31-0-dove_2.6.31-0.1_armel.deb ../linux-mvl-dove-doc_2.6.31-200.4_all.deb | 18:01 |
| ogra | ../linux-headers-2.6.31-200-dove_2.6.31-200.4_armel.deb ../linux-image-2.6.31-200-dove_2.6.31-200.4_armel.deb ../linux-mvl-dove-source-2.6.31_2.6.31-200.4_all.deb | 18:01 |
| slangasek | ogra: then you're not doing a proper local armel build the way the buildds do. The buildds only build Arch: all packages on the i386 buildd | 18:01 |
| ogra | i'll try buiulding the package on a i386 machine, but i suspect we hit a soyuz bug or some weird PAS wildcard setting | 18:01 |
| ogra | yes, i know how our infrastructure works :) | 18:02 |
| ogra | i did the local build to exclude packaging bugs | 18:02 |
| slangasek | the relevant detail here is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/linux-fsl-imx51/2.6.31-100.7 showing only armel in the 'builds' tab | 18:02 |
| ogra | but our infrastructure seems to not like that setup | 18:02 |
| ogra | 100.7 has all ARCH: all packages dropped | 18:03 |
| ogra | that was rtg's workaround for now | 18:03 |
| ogra | 100.4 and 100.5 had them enabled | 18:03 |
| slangasek | er | 18:04 |
| ogra | ah, no only 100.4 | 18:04 |
| ogra | there seem to be no build attempts on i386 for 100.4 | 18:04 |
| slangasek | I don't see why he would have dropped the doc and source packages | 18:04 |
| ogra | and i think thats either soyuz or PAS | 18:04 |
| ogra | yes, i wanted to keep -source :( | 18:05 |
| slangasek | (the headers package, yes, I did say there was no point in having the headers split between two packages) | 18:05 |
| ogra | for people cross compiling the kernel packages | 18:05 |
| === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville | ||
| ogra | i dont care about .docs | 18:05 |
| ogra | *-docs | 18:05 |
| ogra | since i assume there is nothing added to the fsl version | 18:05 |
| ogra | keeping -source would have been nice and i'd like to see it coming back ... | 18:06 |
| slangasek | it doesn't matter whether there's anything added - you want the -docs package built so that the -docs package matches the kernel package and can be pulled in via linux-meta | 18:06 |
| ogra | anyway, do you have an idea what blocks them from building on i386 ? | 18:06 |
| ogra | slangasek, well, rtg sees the issue as resolved and i couldnt convince him of the opposite | 18:07 |
| slangasek | ogra: it's not P-a-s, so you'll have to ask soyuz folks | 18:07 |
| ogra | ok, thanks for looking | 18:07 |
| ogra | hmm, wasnt there a dedicated soyuz channel ? | 18:09 |
| al-maisan | ogra: yes, #soyuz | 18:09 |
| al-maisan | on the Canonical Ltd. server | 18:10 |
| ogra | heh, i meant a public one :) | 18:10 |
| ogra | doesnt seem like though | 18:10 |
| al-maisan | try #launchpad then, and ping cprov :) | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | the publisher seems like it might be running again, so we'll see | 18:12 |
| james_w | cjwatson: hi, is there anything special to watch out for with -di packages in NBS? | 18:16 |
| james_w | there's a whole bunch in there currently, and I didn't clear them out earlier with the rest as I didn't want to create havoc | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | james_w: don't process them yet, I have a d-i upload in the works to move to -6 | 18:19 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: are you waiting for this publisher run in order to do a test build? | 18:19 |
| james_w | so my wariness was well placed :-) | 18:19 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: you could just add universe/debian-installer to UDEB_COMPONENTS in build/config/common | 18:20 |
| ogra | cjwatson, now that the mvl and fsl kernel packages are in main, is there anything special we need to do for d-i to pick them up ? | 18:20 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, ah | 18:20 |
| mathiaz | jtimberman: the stompserver package sitting in the NEW queue is the last one you've uploaded to REVU (fixing the issue from the first rejection) | 18:21 |
| ogra | they both should have the proper naming scheme now | 18:21 |
| cjwatson | ogra: stuff like what NCommander's doing for dove, presumably | 18:21 |
| jtimberman | mathiaz: cool, thanks for checking! | 18:21 |
| ogra | well, that had happened for imx51 already | 18:21 |
| ogra | unless you dropped it :) | 18:21 |
| * ogra hugs lamont for ARMv7 buildd love | 18:23 | |
| ogra | and you even doubled the amount !!! | 18:23 |

| lamont | one more inbound though - look forward to seeing korlan | 18:24 |
| lamont | and a rimu replacement | 18:24 |

| ogra | yup | 18:27 |
| mathiaz | james_w: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258796/ <- have you already seen this? | 18:28 |
| mathiaz | james_w: I was trying to import an upstream tarball in a bzr branch | 18:28 |
| cjwatson | ogra: sure, it needs one set of config files per subarchitecture | 18:28 |
| james_w | mathiaz: I think so, one minute | 18:29 |
| ogra | cjwatson, well, then i assume imx51 is fine from jaunty still | 18:29 |
| ogra | though we might have to add hardware detection strings for the newer babbage boards, i will have to compare them | 18:30 |
| cjwatson | ogra: yes. mvl == dove, fsl == imx51? | 18:30 |
| cjwatson | (ish) | 18:30 |
| ogra | right | 18:30 |
| ogra | fsl is only in the source package names | 18:31 |
| ogra | the binaries should be mainly compatible to jaunty | 18:31 |
| james_w | mathiaz: yeah, that should be fixed in the next upload | 18:36 |
| james_w | mathiaz: remember you found that problem with the spurious conflicts when merging from Debian? | 18:36 |
| mathiaz | james_w: when is the next upload schedule? | 18:36 |
| mathiaz | james_w: or is there a version available from a PPA? | 18:36 |
| mathiaz | james_w: for testing? | 18:36 |
| mathiaz | james_w: yes | 18:37 |
| james_w | mathiaz: that will now be gone if you use the merge-package command, thanks to al-maisan | 18:37 |
| james_w | I can upload now | 18:37 |
| mathiaz | james_w: \o/ | 18:37 |
| mathiaz | james_w: that would be great | 18:37 |
| al-maisan | :) | 18:37 |
| mathiaz | james_w: so another question | 18:37 |
| mathiaz | james_w: there is an upstream bzr branch as a git import | 18:38 |
| mathiaz | james_w: https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/sssd/trunk | 18:38 |
| mathiaz | james_w: I've been working on packaging it - lp:~mathiaz/sssd/ubuntu-pkg | 18:38 |
| mathiaz | james_w: and doing daily builds of the upstream branch using bzr builddeb | 18:39 |
| mathiaz | james_w: as a native package | 18:39 |
| mathiaz | james_w: now upstream is going to release a tarball | 18:39 |
| mathiaz | james_w: how should I proceed for applying the debian packaging to the upstream tarball? | 18:40 |
| james_w | hmm | 18:40 |
| mathiaz | james_w: I've tried to branch the lp:~mathiaz/sssd/ubuntu-pkg branch but I don't see I could import the upstream release tarball | 18:40 |
| james_w | mathiaz, al-maisan: uploaded | 18:41 |
| james_w | mathiaz: you need something to do with merge-upstream | 18:42 |
| mathiaz | james_w: so the other option was to have two different set of branches | 18:42 |
| james_w | you've just been using "bzr merge" on the upstream branch? | 18:42 |
| mathiaz | james_w: which is when I run into the bug mentionned above as | 18:42 |
| Tonio_ | siretart: hi ! I just found out a little issue with your latest ffmpeg upload... | 18:42 |
| mathiaz | james_w: hm - for my daily builds (native package) I've just bzr merge ../trunk into ubuntu-pkg/ | 18:42 |
| mathiaz | james_w: that works fairly well | 18:43 |
| james_w | ah, native package | 18:43 |
| james_w | yeah | 18:43 |
| Tonio_ | siretart: the unstripped libavformat seems to have been dropped from it, but there are still conditionnal deps to it on the -dev package and so on... | 18:43 |
| mathiaz | james_w: yes - because it's an snapshot from the upstream git-import | 18:43 |
| james_w | so I need to think about the best UI for this, but I can tell you how to get unblocked | 18:43 |
| Tonio_ | siretart: it the removal an error, or should the deps be fixed ? although I couldn't find the package in debian, when it's supposed to be a merge... so I don't know what to do on that point :) | 18:44 |
| james_w | mathiaz: if you run "bzr merge-upstream <released tarball> <upstream branch> [-r revision tarball corresponds to]" | 18:45 |
| james_w | mathiaz: then it will fail because it can't find an "upstream-" tag, but as it is currently a native package then it doesn't | 18:45 |
| james_w | mathiaz: make sense for there to be one. | 18:45 |
| Ampelbein | hey there. could some core-dev restart the builds for gnome-system-tools? https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/2.27.3-0ubuntu1 - The dependency (libpolkit-gtk-1-dev) is available and published now. | 18:45 |
| james_w | mathiaz: so I suggest you tag the tip of your current branch with the "upstream-" name it specifies, run the command again, and then delete the tag | 18:46 |
| james_w | mathiaz: we need some way to say "stop looking for the tag and just use the tip". | 18:47 |

| mathiaz | cr3: I've uploaded a new version of checkbox | 19:45 |
| mathiaz | cr3: https://code.launchpad.net/~cr3/ubuntu/karmic/checkbox/alpha-4/+merge/10445 | 19:45 |
| mathiaz | cr3: however I can't set the merge proposal to 'Merged' | 19:46 |
| mathiaz | cr3: I think only you can set the Status of branch | 19:46 |
| cr3 | mathiaz: done thanks man! sorry for the few problems encountered, I guess that's to be expected from not proposing a merge in such a long time :( | 19:47 |
| evand | is it sufficient to put a universe package waiting to go into main in the live seed for it to appear in component mismatches? | 19:47 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 19:49 |
| evand | weird, it's (ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu) not appearing in component-mismatches.txt on p.u.c/~ubuntu-archive, despite me making the seed change at 15:42 | 19:51 |
| evand | perhaps I'm just being impatient :) | 19:51 |
| evand | thanks ScottK | 19:51 |
| ScottK | evand: I think component-mismatches is only updated ~4 times a day. | 19:55 |
| evand | ah, that would do it | 19:55 |

| jtimberman | i'm looking into creating a build environment for packages, and am interested in sbuild, if i'm running on a jaunty system, i can build packages for other ubuntu and debian releases as well right? | 22:03 |
| robbiew | slangasek: is it worth announcing on the mailing list that Feature Freeze is this Thursday?...or was that already done and I just missed it :/ | 22:05 |
| kirkland | bryce: hiya | 22:07 |
| kirkland | bryce: so i'm looking at a few things with kvm + X | 22:07 |
| bryce | kirkland, hey | 22:09 |
| kirkland | bryce: hey | 22:09 |
| kirkland | bryce: first, there seems to be a regression in the qemu/sdl since this morning | 22:09 |
| kirkland | bryce: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/258928/ | 22:09 |
| thumper | hi guys | 22:10 |
| bryce | since this morning? | 22:10 |
| thumper | where do I find the level of X support for various chipsets? | 22:10 |
| kirkland | bryce: i think so... i was running qemu-kvm this morning, did a few graphical installs | 22:10 |
| kirkland | bryce: now, i'm bombing out with that sdl or framebuffer erro | 22:10 |
| kirkland | error | 22:10 |
| bryce | kirkland, new kernel? | 22:10 |
| kirkland | crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 2009-08-24 09:30 /dev/fb0 | 22:10 |
| kirkland | bryce: yeah, i think so | 22:11 |
| * kirkland notes that he's not a member of video | 22:11 | |
| kirkland | bryce: i don't *think* i need the framebuffer ... i just want an sdl window to pop open | 22:11 |
| bryce | yeah I don't even have the /dev/fb0 device on this bux | 22:12 |
| bryce | box | 22:12 |
| bryce | kirkland, however I *am* in the video group | 22:12 |
| kirkland | bryce: okay, nevermind ... | 22:12 |
| bryce | could it just be a quirk of how your user account got setup? | 22:12 |
| kirkland | bryce: that one was a dumb mistake on my part | 22:12 |
| kirkland | bryce: i was ssh'd to localhost :-/ | 22:13 |
| bryce | heh! | 22:13 |
| kirkland | bryce: okay, that one is solved ... | 22:13 |
| kirkland | bryce: now to your questions :-) | 22:13 |
| kirkland | bryce: regarding the X server | 22:13 |
| kirkland | bryce: let me first make sure I understand the purpose of those hacks | 22:13 |
| bryce | sure | 22:14 |
| slangasek | robbiew: yes, will send an announcement mail this afternoon | 22:15 |
| kirkland | bryce: okay karmic host, karmic guest .... default desktop loads at 800x600 | 22:15 |
| robbiew | slangasek: cool...thnx | 22:15 |
| bryce | kirkland, the purpose of dexconf is to write out the default xorg.conf | 22:16 |
| kirkland | bryce: the goal is to run without an xorg.conf, right? | 22:17 |
| bryce | kirkland, so what these hacks do is detect if kvm/qemu/vbox is in use, and if so to hardcode a particular driver in the xorg.conf | 22:17 |
| bryce | kirkland, indeed; in fact already we've switched to running without xorg.conf in karmic | 22:17 |
| bryce | so... dexconf has become vestigial | 22:17 |
| bryce | thus, two options | 22:18 |
| bryce | one is to have the kvm/qemu/vbox use cases deliberately run 'sudo dexconf' during install so the hacks still get triggered and an xorg.conf still gets put in place | 22:18 |
| bryce | two is to get rid of the hacks and move the logic into the xserver's automatic driver selection code, so xserver "knows" about kvm/qemu/vbox | 22:19 |
| kirkland | bryce: cool, so i think i agree that (2) is preferential | 22:19 |
| bryce | the latter is not has hard as it sounds, just add an extra case section in a switch statement | 22:19 |
| bryce | most of the effort is testing, to make sure it's set up right | 22:20 |
| bryce | what I can do is, if you tell me the pci id's, rough up a patch that I *think* will do it | 22:20 |
| bryce | then you can test and/or tweak the patch to make sure it works well, and we stick it in | 22:21 |
| kirkland | bryce: you want the pci id's of the cirrus video device in the qemu-kvm guest? | 22:21 |
| bryce | kirkland, that's right | 22:21 |
| kirkland | bryce: sure, let me fire one up | 22:21 |
| bryce | also vbox if that's handy | 22:21 |
| kirkland | bryce: i can't help you there, sadly :-/ | 22:22 |
| kirkland | bryce: we should be able to offer higher than just 800x600 with the cirrus driver, huh? | 22:23 |
| kirkland | bryce: at least 1024x768? any higher? | 22:23 |
| bryce | kirkland, I would imagine so... does kvm implement the asm call to retrieve EDID from the virtual monitor? | 22:24 |
| bryce | that's the proper way that video modes are communicated these days | 22:24 |
| kirkland | bryce: i'm in the qemu code right now... what am I looking for? | 22:25 |
| kirkland | bryce: http://pastebin.com/f5584d17e | 22:26 |
| kirkland | bryce: that's lspci -v on a karmic host/guest with cirrus driver | 22:26 |
| sbeattie | bryce: one sec, and I'll grab the pci-ids from vbox (at least with jaunty host/guest) | 22:27 |
| kirkland | sbeattie: thx | 22:27 |
| bryce | kirkland, ok now my knowledge of how all this dark magic works is a bit incomplete | 22:29 |
| kirkland | bryce: okay, i don't see any references in the source code to edid | 22:30 |
| kirkland | bryce: i'm talking to upstream, though | 22:30 |
| kirkland | bryce: so, i suspect the answer is "no" | 22:30 |
| bryce | however on the X side it queries... I2CBus (?) with the monitor id, which returns an EDID_block structure | 22:30 |
| bryce | this is done through DDC or DDC2, which is the communication protocol for the monitor | 22:30 |
| sbeattie | bryce: lspci -vvnn at http://pastebin.com/f2dc49bb8 | 22:31 |
| bryce | kirkland, I'm looking at the code in xorg-server-ubuntu-git/hw/xfree86/ddc/ btw | 22:31 |
| bryce | mm, there's a DDC.HOWTO in that directory too | 22:32 |
| kirkland | bryce: okay, upstream says "no" to EDID/asm call | 22:35 |
| kirkland | bryce: it's not implemented | 22:35 |
| bryce | kirkland, alright, so then in the kvm case unless resolutions are set in xorg.conf, you'll be stuck with generic defaults | 22:36 |
| bryce | (which might include 1024x800, I'm not sure) | 22:37 |
| bryce | er 1024x768 | 22:37 |
| bryce | kirkland, hey can you post 'lspci -vvnn'? The default lspci output does not provide the pci id's | 22:37 |
| bryce | sbeattie, thanks | 22:37 |
| kirkland | bryce: sure | 22:38 |
| bryce | sbeattie, hehe 80ee:beef | 22:38 |
| kirkland | bryce: http://pastebin.com/f1302c310 | 22:41 |
| sbeattie | bryce: in vbox's case, X defaults to 640x480 and 800x600. vbox supports many more modes, dapper's X config sets 1024x768 and that works and hwinfo --framebuffer is able to find a bunch. | 22:42 |
| bryce | kirkland, hmm, cirrus is already in there | 22:42 |
| bryce | case 0x1013: driverList[0] = "cirrus"; break; | 22:42 |
| === fta_ is now known as fta | ||
| bryce | kirkland, try moving aside your xorg.conf and restarting X and see if it gets the driver right | 22:43 |
| kirkland | bryce: k | 22:43 |
| bryce | sbeattie, got an Xorg.0.log you can pastebin for me? | 22:44 |
| kirkland | bryce: i have no xorg.conf :-) | 22:44 |
| bryce | sbeattie, fwiw vbox's driver wasn't already in there; I can add it easily though. Maybe the reason for the reduced resolution set is just missing its driver | 22:45 |
| sbeattie | bryce: one sec. | 22:45 |
| bryce | kirkland, so... you're up and running with no xorg.conf? how is the resolution selection (run 'xrandr')? | 22:45 |
| kirkland | bryce: correct | 22:46 |
| kirkland | bryce: up and running, no xorg.conf (fresh karmic kvm install from this morning) | 22:46 |
| kirkland | bryce: resolution options are 800x600 and 640x480 | 22:46 |
| bryce | kirkland, ok, had you also tried with the xorg.conf present? If not, try running 'sudo dexconf', restarting X, and seeing if they pop in at that point | 22:47 |
| kirkland | bryce: http://pastebin.com/f4dbc041d | 22:47 |
| sbeattie | bryce: http://pastebin.com/f2dc49bb8 from an alpha-3ish karmic amd64 guest. | 22:48 |
| kirkland | bryce: dexconf fails with exit code 10 | 22:49 |
| bryce | kirkland, hrm, any error messages other than that? I guess it didn't produce an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 22:49 |
| kirkland | bryce: no xorg.conf written | 22:49 |
| kirkland | bryce: no errors | 22:49 |
| kirkland | bryce: sh -x just shows it exec'ing debconf dexconf | 22:50 |
| bryce | kirkland, ok well the good news is kvm still works even in the new X setup... just that due to lack of EDID it's not getting its full set of resolutions | 22:50 |
| kirkland | bryce: heh, yeah | 22:50 |
| bryce | sbeattie, I'm guessing this same thing will affect vbox, unless it also provides a virtual monitor with EDID | 22:51 |
| bryce | the dexconf breakage is... troubling... | 22:51 |
| bryce | but let's leave that aside for the time being | 22:51 |
| kirkland | bryce: this launch-from-the-command-line i think is mostly a developer-only use case | 22:51 |
| kirkland | bryce: i suspect most users will use some form of libvirt, which will launch with a vnc server | 22:51 |
| === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk | ||
| bryce | kirkland, ok, how does that use case differ exactly? | 22:52 |
| kirkland | bryce: well, most of my developer-level testing, i just run kvm from the command line, which pops open an SDL window | 22:52 |
| kirkland | bryce: most users, though, i think will use something like virt-manager | 22:52 |
| === Gh0sty_ is now known as Gh0sty | ||
| kirkland | bryce: which adds a bunch of options to kvm, including -vnc | 22:53 |
| kirkland | bryce: i'm testing that now .... | 22:53 |
| kirkland | bryce: stand by :-) | 22:53 |
| kirkland | bryce: when i'm launching from the command line, mine looks like this: "/usr/bin/kvm -m 512 -hda karmic-desktop.img" | 22:55 |
| kirkland | bryce: when virt-manager launches, it looks like: /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name karmic-desktop -uuid 132868d4-ba99-3c44-a158-20e51435b9f6 -monitor pty -no-reboot -boot d -drive file=/local/virt/iso/karmic-desktop-amd64.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/karmic-desktop.img,if=virtio,index=0 -net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:03:06:95,vlan=0,model=virtio -net tap,fd=18,vlan=0 -serial pty -par | 22:55 |
| kirkland | allel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us -soundhw es1370 | 22:55 |
| kirkland | bryce: note the -vnc | 22:55 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: FWIW component-mismatches is supposed to be updated hourly | 22:57 |
| bryce | sbeattie, kirkland: ok here's the patch for driver detection goodness - http://people.canonical.com/~bryce/virtual_devices.patch | 22:58 |
| kirkland | bryce: cool, are you going to build that somewhere that I can verify it for you? | 23:02 |
| bryce | kirkland, I don't think there is a need for you to test this one since it won't fix anything for your kvm | 23:04 |
| bryce | checking bug reports... | 23:05 |
| kirkland | bryce: how complicated is this EDID response? | 23:05 |
| kirkland | bryce: is that something I can craft easily enough? | 23:05 |
| kirkland | bryce: from the qemu side, i mean | 23:06 |
| bryce | kirkland, no clue but I've located a patch that mdeslaur found from redhat for this | 23:06 |
| bryce | kirkland, see bug 349331 | 23:07 |

| kirkland | bryce: that cirrus driver patch looks promising; is that something we could carry as well? | 23:09 |
| kirkland | bryce: yes, the latter was the one I was most aware of | 23:09 |
| kirkland | bryce: and trying to solve in this half-day of working on qemu-kvm's video issues | 23:09 |
| bryce | kirkland, see in particular https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/+bug/237164/comments/13 | 23:11 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 237164 in xorg "kvm needs to correctly simulate a proper monitor" [Medium,Invalid] | 23:11 |
| bryce | kirkland, yeah I can pull that patch in | 23:11 |
| NCommander | kirkland, an archive admin should have done the backport ages ago | 23:11 |
| NCommander | kirkland, (sorry, just got to looking at this) | 23:11 |
| NCommander | kirkland, its properly subscribed on our end | 23:12 |
| kirkland | NCommander: thanks | 23:15 |
| NCommander | kirkland, I dunno why its stuck :-/ | 23:16 |
| kirkland | bryce: i can confirm that an F11 guest has much higher resolutions available :-) | 23:18 |
| bryce | hrm, -cirrus lacks a patch system... | 23:18 |
| kirkland | bryce: well, it has 1024x768 | 23:19 |
| kirkland | bryce: which is much better | 23:19 |
| bryce | kirkland, so nice of redhat to fix it !upstream ;-) | 23:19 |
| kirkland | bryce: *wink* | 23:19 |
| cjwatson | I'm currently engaged in upstreaming a patch that originated with Red Hat | 23:20 |
| cjwatson | it happens more often than the marketroids might care to think ;-) | 23:20 |
| cjwatson | (actually, we're reimplementing the significant bits in a different way) | 23:21 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: if you have any AA bandwidth available, could you finish the kvm-84 backport task? | 23:21 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: it's been in the queue for several weeks now | 23:22 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: done for intrepid-backports | 23:25 |
| kirkland | bryce: i added a task for xserver-xorg-driver-cirrus (Ubuntu) to bug #349331 | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 349331 in kvm "limited screen resolution" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/349331 | 23:26 |
| kirkland | bryce: you can close that task in your upload | 23:26 |
| bryce | cjwatson, yeah it seems like it redhat used to be better at pushing patches upstream; only really distro-specific patches sat there. Lately though I'm finding I have to pull more stuff from their trees. | 23:26 |
| bryce | kirkland, thanks | 23:26 |
| bryce | sbeattie, ok your vbox pci id support is uploaded to karmic. You should be able to run vbox with no xorg.conf now | 23:27 |
| sbeattie | woo | 23:27 |
| bryce | sbeattie, although potentially you may see reduced resolutions available when doing so, as kirkland has run into | 23:27 |
| bryce | sbeattie, let me know if that's the case and we can maybe adopt a similar approach for fixing that | 23:28 |
| bryce | sbeattie, the fix is in xorg-server_1.6.3-1ubuntu4 | 23:28 |
| sbeattie | bryce: cool, thanks so much; I'll give it a go and let you know what the result is. | 23:29 |
| kirkland | NCommander: okay cjwatson approved it for intrepid-backports; so we're going to give that a few days before approving it for hardy-backports? | 23:31 |
| NCommander | kirkland, he has to accept kvm, and autobackport libvirt as per the bug, but yes | 23:31 |
| kirkland | NCommander: okay, i'll sit tight | 23:31 |
| NCommander | kirkland, sorry about this getting lost in the pile | 23:33 |
| kirkland | NCommander: it happens, no worries; let's try to get it out to hardy by week's end, cool? | 23:34 |
| NCommander | kirkland, sure | 23:34 |
| bryce | kirkland, okay! Patch uploaded for -cirrus | 23:47 |
| kirkland | bryce: cheers, thanks; i'll try it out in a bit | 23:47 |
| bryce | kirkland, I had to re-add the patch system and stuff, and to the best of my knowledge it should load and work, but please test and let me know. | 23:47 |
| kirkland | bryce: you bet | 23:47 |
| bryce | ok, heading out to buy some fish. be back later. | 23:48 |
| fbond | slangasek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PointReleaseProcess indicates that an archive snapshot is made for point releases. Is this snapshot publicly accessible somewhere? | 23:56 |
| slangasek | fbond: no, it isn't | 23:56 |
| fbond | slangasek: I'm building a product on top of Ubuntu. For this product, many builds will be created over time, and I'd like to be able to choose a consistent set of package versions for builds made at different times. | 23:58 |
| fbond | Is my best option to mirror the archives and create my own snapshots? | 23:58 |
| slangasek | fbond: hmm, for those purposes I think that's what makes the most sense | 23:59 |
| fbond | (Basically, I need to organize my builds around my own concept of a "release". My plan was to mimic Ubuntu's releases, e.g. 8.04.2, etc.) | 23:59 |
| fbond | slangasek: Is there at least some way to determine which package versions are present in the official snapshots? | 23:59 |
