| slangasek | heh, doubt it; the sequence leading up to it was non-trivial (and was a result of bugs) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kirkland | mdz: well, i could be just impatient | 00:00 |
| kirkland | mdz: its still doing stuff | 00:00 |
| Keybuk | I've tended to see that before with "expect daemon" and SIGCHLD handlers | 00:00 |
| Keybuk | e.g. avahi | 00:00 |
| kirkland | mdz: dd, specifically | 00:01 |
| Keybuk | I guess you could get it with "expect fork" as well in that situation | 00:01 |
| Keybuk | actually, if you had expect fork, the service daemonised instead of just forking, and put a SIGCHLD handler in - you could probably get that | 00:01 |
| slangasek | mmk | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: gdm is stopped due to a runlevel change; it would be nice if that information were passed on | 00:02 |
| slangasek | let me reboot (I /think/ I haven't broken my own boot sequence... :) and try again | 00:02 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: I'm just trying to figure out in my head whether "export RUNLEVEL" in gdm.conf would work ;) | 00:02 |
| cjwatson | happy to try it at some point | 00:03 |
| Keybuk | I don't think it would | 00:03 |
| Keybuk | I think you can only export start environment | 00:03 |
| Keybuk | so you could know the runlevel gdm was in when it started ;) | 00:03 |
| cjwatson | useful ;) | 00:03 |
| kirkland | mdz: keeping a chronicle in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eucalyptus/+bug/439288 | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 439288 in eucalyptus "1.6~bzr854-0ubuntu13 fails to run instances" [High,Triaged] | 00:04 |
| Keybuk | though the stop environment stuff is all a bit broken | 00:04 |
| Keybuk | it seemed like a good idea at the time | 00:04 |
| Keybuk | (e.g. upstart doesn't even pass the exit code to the post-stop script) | 00:05 |
| cjwatson | actually, is there any reason why all events shouldn't just come with the current runlevel attached? | 00:05 |
| Keybuk | yes | 00:06 |
| Keybuk | upstart doesn't implement runlevels | 00:06 |
| Keybuk | ;) | 00:06 |
| cjwatson | you can get the information anyway in a script, but it would allow you to match on them ... | 00:06 |
| Keybuk | by that, I mean that the init daemon doesn't implement them | 00:06 |
| Keybuk | it never knows what the runlevel is | 00:06 |
| Keybuk | or even what *a* runlevel is | 00:06 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 00:06 |
| cjwatson | oh well. awkward. | 00:07 |
| Keybuk | it's all done by the passing of events | 00:07 |
| cjwatson | I suppose I want to be able to match on runlevel [06] as a state | 00:07 |
| Keybuk | right, exactly! | 00:07 |
| Keybuk | and that's definitely going to happen | 00:07 |
| * cjwatson remembers an old spec with edge-triggered and level-triggered events ... ;-) | 00:07 | |
| Keybuk | it's funny you say that | 00:08 |
| Keybuk | I remarked only last week how most of the work for upstart 0.10 is putting back in all the things we dropped out of the original design | 00:08 |
| cjwatson | you're going to tell me I argued you out of including level-triggered events now, aren't you | 00:08 |
| cjwatson | which is entirely possible, although I've forgotten it if I did :) | 00:08 |
| Keybuk | no, I think that was mdz | 00:08 |
| Keybuk | they "confused" people at the original Wiesbaden demo | 00:09 |
| Keybuk | of course, in practice, we removed the wrong ones <g> | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | running runlevel is an adequate hack for now, anyway, it's just inefficient | 00:10 |
| Keybuk | yeah, it is ineffecient - but that's basically all upstart would be doing itself | 00:11 |
| Keybuk | (until we get a runlevel state to replace the event) | 00:11 |
| cjwatson | right, until it remembers the state of course | 00:11 |

| lifeless | ^" | 00:35 |
| lifeless | damn, one space off | 00:35 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: ho-hum, seems to be reproducible with both 'fork' and 'daemon'; continuing to debug | 00:47 |
| slangasek | (in the meantime, fixed my terribly-wrong rpc_pipefs job) | 00:47 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: however, the same thing doesn't happen without langpacks in Debian, even with remarkably similar-looking .mo files | 00:50 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: so I think it may actually be a bug in our langpack integration | 00:50 |
| cjwatson | (anyway, the code that's doing _("") is in gnulib, I think, rather than code I wrote directly) | 00:51 |
| cjwatson | I've seen that before, it was a while back - never got round to tracing it all the way down though | 00:54 |
| ion | fr.po | 00:54 |
| ion | msgid "" | 00:54 |
| ion | msgstr "le " | 00:54 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: maybe we're accidentally ending up with that string in the .mo file | 00:59 |
| Keybuk | dunno whether you ordinarily do or don't | 00:59 |
| cjwatson | I msgunfmt'ed the two .mo files, it's there in both langpack and non-langpack cases | 01:00 |
| cjwatson | I do know what's causing it, it's that I have argp doc strings that start with a \v (\v is a separator for pre- and post- doc strings in argp-ese) | 01:05 |
| cjwatson | but I consider it a bug in the argp implementation in gnulib that it doesn't deal with that properly | 01:05 |
| cjwatson | one day I'll get round to sending them a fix for that | 01:05 |
| cjwatson | still mystifying that it only happens with langpacks, though | 01:06 |
| cjwatson | hmm, though I think I see a workaround | 01:07 |
| cjwatson | yeah, there we go | 01:07 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: aha, got it; upstart isn't happy with me if my script spawns a number of short-lived subprocesses, then execs the daemon, which forks | 01:09 |
| slangasek | so a pre-script fixes this | 01:09 |
| Keybuk | hah | 01:09 |
| Keybuk | yes | 01:09 |
| slangasek | this is probably user error, but OTOH, it would be good for init to not get wedged | 01:10 |
| Keybuk | indeed | 01:10 |
| Keybuk | there's no solution to that using ptrace() though | 01:10 |
| Keybuk | that's why I plan to switch to using proc_connector | 01:10 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: worked around, http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/man-db/trunk/revision/1148 | 01:11 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: <whimper> ok, and in the case of statd, the daemon itself spawns a subprocess before it detaches | 01:23 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: how do I make /that/ work? | 01:24 |
| Keybuk | meh | 01:24 |
| Keybuk | I don't think you can\ | 01:24 |
| Keybuk | not without patching the code | 01:24 |
| Keybuk | you could make statd raise (SIGSTOP); | 01:24 |
| Keybuk | and use "expect stop" | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | instead of making it fork | 01:25 |
| slangasek | whee | 01:25 |
| slangasek | or I could pass the -L argument to tell it not to call sm-notify | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | ;) | 01:26 |
| Keybuk | so yeah, it probably got fixated on sm-notify | 01:26 |
| Keybuk | and then never got SIGCHLD for it | 01:26 |

| spstarr | hrm, if you build a custom kernel via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild, you do not see /proc/filesystems show usbfs.. yet ubuntu's kernels do even using ubuntu's .config what gives? | 02:33 |
| spstarr | is there something broken in make-kpkg? | 02:34 |
| TheMuso | spstarr: Do your kernels have an initramfs? That might be whats responsible for mounting usbfs, however I am not entirely sure. | 02:34 |
| spstarr | they do, i do not know what default modules it uses though | 02:34 |
| spstarr | i can explode the ramfs to check | 02:35 |
| spstarr | i may need to explicitly mention --added-modules usbcore (even though ubuntu compiles this into kernel anyway) | 02:35 |
| * spstarr looks at the debian/* dir | 02:36 | |
| spstarr | oooh | 02:37 |
| spstarr | wait a second | 02:37 |
| spstarr | yes i do have one, initrd.img-2.6.31.1-custom it wouldn't boot otherwise | 02:38 |
| spstarr | but how this is getting built is what im curious about | 02:38 |
| spstarr | where can I find the default fakeroot for the initramfs images? | 02:38 |
| * spstarr gets source of ubuntu deb kernel | 02:41 | |
| TheMuso | spstarr: The pieces that get put into the initramfs as well as scripts to copy binaries over are found in /usr/share/initramfs-tools | 02:45 |
| * spstarr looks | 02:45 | |
| spstarr | aha that's the init i was looking for | 02:46 |
| spstarr | however.. /proc/filesystems only gets usbfs if usbcore is loaded | 02:46 |
| spstarr | afaik | 02:46 |
| spstarr | since usbcore has to register the filesystem to /proc/filesystems | 02:48 |
| spstarr | so this is why im confused :) | 02:48 |
| TheMuso | spstarr: Not sure why things aren't working for you sorry | 02:48 |
| spstarr | if i compile usbcore or leave it compiled into kernel | 02:49 |
| spstarr | you'd assume /proc/filesystems would have usbfs | 02:49 |
| spstarr | unless its depending on the machine im building the deb on | 02:49 |
| * spstarr examines both initramfs | 02:53 | |
| spstarr | and sings the little song "one of these ramdisks is not like the other" | 02:54 |
| spstarr | my initramfs has usbcore in it | 02:57 |

| spstarr | ewwwww | 03:17 |
| spstarr | it seems everyone is using the WRONG PATH for usbfs | 03:18 |
| spstarr | you should be using /sys/bus/usb/drivers now not /proc for it anymore | 03:18 |
| spstarr | if you do not enable CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS doesn't it defer to both /sys/bus/usb/drivers AND /proc/bus/usb?? | 03:20 |

| spstarr | aha | 03:21 |
| spstarr | # CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS is not set | 03:21 |

| dholbach | oh ok | 08:13 |
| cjwatson | you can install the package and run it, but it may make changes to your system even before the summary screen | 08:13 |
| dholbach | ok, I see | 08:13 |
| cjwatson | since it assumes that it's OK to make changes to the live environment | 08:13 |
| dholbach | I'll use a VM then - no worries | 08:13 |

| dmart | Slightly related to this, I eventually abandoned trying to get XDMCP connections to work for connecting to Karmic's gdm... I added a /etc/gdm/custom.conf with [xdmcp]/Enable=true, and added an appropriate entry in hosts.allow, but that isn't adequate. | 11:40 |
| dmart | I also found I had to set [xdmcp]/DisplaysPerHost > 1 for the querying host to be able to connect at all, and even then I just get a blank display, with gdm appearing to do nothing after the initial connection. | 11:40 |
| dmart | Any thoughts? I'm using Cygwin/X here, which may be part of the problem. Worked with Jaunty though. | 11:40 |
| Keybuk | seb128: a side conversation at plumbers was that you can *almost* entirely replace gdm with upstart | 11:41 |

| liw | seb128, I don't see a bug about this in Debian, but if I missed one, I assume you'll take care of it there as well | 13:19 |
| seb128 | liw, debian doesn't have the bbc change, it's an ubuntu one, it's still being discussed upstream and not accepted there yet | 13:20 |

| liw | seb128, ah; otoh, the bug was actually generic for all Python plugins | 13:20 |
| seb128 | liw, right, I was expecting something like that but not sure, contacting upstream was a good idea there | 13:21 |
| seb128 | liw, is there any other python one in the default set? | 13:21 |

| dholbach | yuriy: get too many bug reports for a crash? :)( | 14:52 |
| yuriy | ok it's the crash interception i'm wondering about. I'm not sure what to do with it. the way we have it set up now is KDE will fall back to its own crash handler if apport is disabled, which means upstream will get the report if the user chooses to send it, and I don't think we want that (IMO, will bring it up at the next kubuntu meeting) but otherwise apps will just fail silently | 14:54 |

| slangasek | yes, uploading to the queue is allowed as long as you don't expect it to get into beta | 15:22 |

| Keybuk | if a patch is necessary for the release | 15:23 |

| Keybuk | there's zero useful information in it :-/ | 16:16 |
| lool | kees: That's exactly the type of help-ing stuff I was looking for, thanks :-) | 16:16 |
| kees | lool: the down-side is that the current tool expects a local mirror. perhaps it can be run on rookery, though. | 16:17 |
| lool | kees: It's ok, I'm building one | 16:17 |
| kees | lool: so what characteristics are you checking for? | 16:17 |
| lool | kees: It's not entirely in stone yet, it seems we want to look for to scan for R_ARM_RELATIVE in TEXTREL sections | 16:18 |
| kees | lool: what command line would show that? | 16:18 |
| lool | kees: It's not clear whether I need to scan for eh_frame sections too | 16:18 |

| jdstrand | cjwatson: hi! so, I'm having a problem with usplash 0.5.39 and gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu8. I upgraded this morning, dutifully rebooted (as I was told to) and the boot hung and gdm did not start. | 16:30 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: this was with usplash 0.5.39 and gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu8 | 16:30 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: I downgraded usplash to 0.5.38 (but not libusplash0 as I just noticed) and gdm to 2.28.0-0ubuntu6, rebooted and it worked fine | 16:31 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: unfortunately, I am rather notoriously bad at debugging usplash, and not sure where to start | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: can you find what processes are running? | 16:34 |
| cjwatson | when it hangs | 16:34 |
| cjwatson | ps aux | grep usplash is probably a good start | 16:35 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: ok, let me upgrade and reboot | 16:36 |
| kees | lool: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/ubuntu-security-tools/trunk/files/head%3A/repo-tools/ look at "for-archive", and the tools in the "for-archive-tools" directory | 16:37 |
| kees | lool: the comments at the top of for-archive detail some example runs | 16:38 |
| kees | lool: it was originally built for scanning source, but it works on binaries too | 16:38 |
| kees | lool: the execstack one is a good example of that. | 16:38 |
| kees | lool: the "for-archive-tools/has-execstack" is probably a reasonable starting point for the tool you'll want to create that does the TEXTREL test | 16:39 |
| lool | kees: Cool thanks | 16:40 |
| kees | lool: let me know if you have any questions, some of it is a bit non-obvious. :P | 16:41 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: ok. first off-- no splash screen at all | 16:41 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: second, ps auxww|grep usplash shows usplash is not running | 16:41 |
| lool | kees: Ok | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: ok, are there any usplash-related processes running, such as usplash_write? | 16:43 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: I see output from the last script in /etc/rc2.d | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: also, | grep initctl | 16:43 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: the new initctl emit you added is present | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: can I see a complete ps auxfww? | 16:44 |
| jdstrand | initctl emit starting-dm DM=gdm | 16:44 |
| jdstrand | hold on | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | right, I expect it's blocked on something, but would like to find out what | 16:44 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/283083/ | 16:47 |
| jdstrand | initctl emit and found it sometimes would hang... | 16:53 |
| jdstrand | err | 16:53 |
| jdstrand | I totally lost the first part of that sentence | 16:54 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: fyi, in my recent foray into upstart I played with 'initctl emit' and found it would hang. I figured I was doing something wrong and abandoned using it | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | jdstrand: what does "status usplash" say? | 16:55 |
| jdstrand | Keybuk: usplash stop/killed, process 439 | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | and you have no process 439? | 16:55 |
| jdstrand | Keybuk: correct | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | don't suppose, before the call to initctl emit, you could add a ps dump and status usplash command | 16:56 |
| Keybuk | log them somewhere | 16:56 |
| Keybuk | and reboot until you get the hang again? | 16:56 |
| jdstrand | sure I could | 16:56 |
| Keybuk | then we'd have a log of what the usplash pid really was | 16:56 |
| Keybuk | what upstart thought it was | 16:56 |
| Keybuk | etc. | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: initctl emit blocks until any jobs that hook off that event are done | 17:00 |

| === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ | ||
| Keybuk | interesting | 17:02 |
| * Keybuk wonders whether that pid is even right | 17:02 | |
| jdstrand | I have 'quiet splash' on the kernel line | 17:03 |
| slangasek | it must be right, pid 1 isn't allowed to be wrong :P | 17:03 |
| cjwatson | maybe this is a consequence of my stupid 'exec true' hack | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | I bet it works if you put USPLASH=y in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | because that pid is higher than all the processes started in the initramfs, so it must have been started later | 17:05 |
| jdstrand | I don't have a USPLASH=... line in there at all | 17:06 |
| jdstrand | shall I add it? | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | it should work as a workaround, but (a) it's not the desired distro default and (b) Keybuk may want to debug more first | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | oh, hmm, maybe it isn't higher than all the initramfs processes, I can't read | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | line numbers != pids | 17:07 |
| jdstrand | ok, wasn't sure if maybe my file should've had it | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | no | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: I'm properly stumped now as to what it's blocked on, though, since apparently usplash_write wasn't running | 17:08 |
| Keybuk | upstart thinks it is | 17:08 |
| Keybuk | with pid 439 | 17:08 |
| Keybuk | so it's waiting for SIGCHLD with that pid | 17:08 |
| Keybuk | since that pid doesn't exist, that will never happen | 17:09 |
| Keybuk | could be maybe usplash exited before the initramfs? | 17:09 |
| jdstrand | I might say that usplash has been wonky on this machine in the past | 17:09 |
| mdz | kirkland, I have cleaned up some of the upstart scripts based on the earlier discussion with Keybuk. I've eyeballed the changes, but can't quite test them at the moment. is it ok if I push to the ubuntu branch anyway, and you bring them into your next upload? if I made any mistakes, they should be easy to spot and correct | 17:09 |
| Keybuk | jdstrand: when do you see it vanish? | 17:09 |
| jdstrand | I'd see it on boot, and then it would go away and I'd see text | 17:09 |
| jdstrand | Keybuk: currently, I never see it. if I downgrade usplash/gdm, I can check | 17:10 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | it's possible for it to time out before the initramfs of course ... | 17:10 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: sounds like jdstrand's bug is that a usplash pid is being written, but when upstart starts, there's nothing with that pid | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | (in general, presumably not for jdstrand) | 17:10 |
| Keybuk | the hack could probably do with more safeguards | 17:11 |
| jdstrand | Keybuk: would it be helpful to downgrade usplash and let you know where I stop seeing it? | 17:11 |
| Keybuk | (pid exits, parent is 1, etc.) | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | this *might* be fixed by the --pidfile thing I'm working on | 17:11 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: indeed | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | haven't had an opportunity to reboot since I put that together | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | should I make usplash remove the pidfile if it exits too? | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | with the caveat that it might not get the chance to do so | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | I can't remember if that's standard practice; I thought not, though | 17:11 |
| Keybuk | I guess | 17:12 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson, Keybuk: do you guys need more debugging on this machine in the current state? | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | start-stop-daemon never removed it | 17:13 |
| Keybuk | upstart-wise I understand the problem | 17:13 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: leaving an invalid pid file is bad though in this case | 17:14 |
| Keybuk | e.g. what if the pid is 1 ? :) | 17:14 |
| Keybuk | you'll always get an indefinite hang | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | we can't guarantee to always remove it | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | so I think we need to ensure that the initial pid is sane (not 1!), but otherwise rely on upstart to notice if the pid has vanished | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | this fails if pids manage to wrap round in the initramfs, I agree | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | but that seems like a problem sufficiently unlikely that we can live with it until upstart is managing the initramfs too? :) | 17:15 |
| slangasek | aww, but I wanted to run usplash+upstart on my 8-bit processor | 17:16 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: is there any more I can do to help atm? | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: not for me, Keybuk might have something else | 17:17 |
| jdstrand | have you filed a bug yet? if not, I weill | 17:20 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 440071 in gdm "initctl emit hangs boot" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/440071 | 17:27 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson: I nominated for release and added the regression-potential tag, but otherwise did no triaging | 17:28 |
| slangasek | mdz: logs don't offer detail on gzip invocation, only on the vmbuilder run itself | 17:28 |
| slangasek | mdz: confirmed in the source that it's calling --rsyncable, though | 17:28 |
| jdstrand | cjwatson, Keybuk: I killed of the initctl process which allowed gdm to start. please feel free to ping me if you need anything else | 17:29 |
| jdstrand | killed *off* | 17:29 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: it's unequivocally not a gdm bug | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | jdstrand: it has a usplash component, and an upstart component | 17:31 |
| jdstrand | yeah, I realized that after I filed it | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | I don't have a functional browser right now since I'm testing the usplash part of the fix | 17:31 |
| jdstrand | I'll adjust | 17:31 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: I don't think it's strictly an upstart bug | 17:32 |
| Keybuk | because it's just doing what it's told | 17:32 |
| Keybuk | that's always the dangerous thing about a "pretend you know about $PID" hack | 17:33 |
| Keybuk | if you get $PID wrong, you're inherently violating assertions that upstart makes true | 17:33 |
| Keybuk | but as you say, this is probably trivially fixed ;) | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | sure, but do you agree with me that there's no way for a process starting in the initramfs to be certain about removing the pidfile if it crashes? | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | I mean, it can do its best | 17:33 |
| Keybuk | I do | 17:33 |
| Keybuk | but there's no fix for that | 17:33 |
| Keybuk | if that happens, you're screwed | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | if the pid just plain doesn't exist when upstart tries to import that pidfile, there is no sense in it waiting for SIGCHLD for it, is there? | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | I agree and understand that there are corner cases | 17:35 |
| jdstrand | well, changed to have upstart and usplash. usplash marked as Triaged. upstart untriaged (I'll let you decide). I have not milestoned it | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | but I don't see how they're worse | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | I don't suppose I'm saying that it's an upstart *bug* as such, but in the sense of a Launchpad bug task, i.e. a to-do item to add a sanity check, I don't think it's too unreasonable? | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: of course, now I look at it, our previous conjecture about usplash_write QUIT was entirely bogus | 17:41 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: if no process has a FIFO open for writing, then open() returns ENXIO | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | and usplash_write just exits zero | 17:42 |

| rrva | hi.. trying to figure out how to solve http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438962 blocks me from booting | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 438962 in udev "upstart/mountall does not boot after mounting crypto disks" [High,Confirmed] | 21:25 |
| seb128 | is there any estimation for when uploads will be accepted? | 21:28 |
| seb128 | ie is that worth hanging around waiting for that or that's not going to be tonight? | 21:28 |
| slangasek | seb128: not tonight | 21:28 |
| * seb128 is not there tomorrow and would like to flush all the things he has pending today | 21:28 | |
| seb128 | :-( | 21:28 |
| slangasek | that doesn't mean you can't upload, though? | 21:29 |
| seb128 | there is quite some syncs I want to do | 21:29 |
| seb128 | and I want to be around in case there is an issue | 21:29 |
| slangasek | ah | 21:29 |
| seb128 | I guess I will have to work tomorrow | 21:29 |
| seb128 | *shrug* | 21:29 |
| seb128 | thanks anyway | 21:30 |
| pitti | seb128: just mail me a list of syncs, I'll do them for you | 21:30 |
| seb128 | pitti, no, I want to be around and not sync a new gtk on friday before everybody goes away | 21:30 |
| pitti | heh | 21:30 |
| seb128 | but thanks | 21:30 |
| pitti | oh, we can sync gtk now? nice | 21:30 |
| seb128 | yes ;-) | 21:30 |
| seb128 | I guess there is no way to just tell the armel builders to not build? | 21:31 |
| seb128 | so people could get work done on other arches ;-) | 21:31 |
| cjwatson | seb128: actually, I was thinking that myself - we have them on manual anyway | 21:35 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: any reason you can think of why we shouldn't just flush the queue and just gradually filter stuff through on armel? | 21:36 |
| cjwatson | I can force the ordering by way of scores | 21:37 |
| Nivex | I'm trying to do an iSCSI install of Karmic Server Beta in a VM. The VM has no hard disks defined. I am not being prompted for iSCSI targets as the tech overview says I should be. I don't even know where to begin so I can file a useful bug report. | 21:42 |

| rrva | how can i roll back upstart to sysvinit ? | 21:44 |
| LaserJock | how is the d-i tasksel task list populated? is it based on the packages on the disk? | 21:53 |
| mdke | slangasek: will do, thanks very much | 22:11 |
| mdke | slangasek: shall I upload? I guess it can sit in the queue happily until after beta? | 22:15 |
| sbasuita | It seems there is a problem with the beta torrents: "ubuntu.com: Error: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker." (from deluge on the amd64 desktop). I saw a forum post with the same issue on the i386 one as well. Is this known? | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | rrva: you can't, not in karmic | 22:58 |
| cjwatson | LaserJock: yes, Task-Key fields | 22:58 |
| mdke | slangasek: got the answer from the topic, uploaded. Congrats on the beta and thanks again | 23:06 |

| Darxus | There's no chance of a new major revision of hugin making it into karmic at this point, without a security fix, right? | 23:14 |
| Darxus | Somebody is trying to get me to test his package because he thinks he can get it in karmic. | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | Darxus: depends, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess | 23:16 |
| cjwatson | and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureFreeze | 23:16 |
| Darxus | cjwatson: Thanks. This doesn't seem to meet the requirements during Beta Freeze. | 23:22 |
| Darxus | As much as it sucks for this package to be so far behind in karmic. | 23:22 |
| cjwatson | we are not in beta freeze | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | beta freeze is the period between a week before beta release and the beta release | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | after the beta release (which just happened) we return to feature freeze | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | the purpose of beta freeze is to stabilise things so that we can get the beta out | 23:23 |
| Darxus | cjwatson: What? The karmic release schedule says beta freeze started on september 24th? | 23:24 |
| cjwatson | Darxus: yes, and it ends when the beta releases, which just happened | 23:25 |
| Darxus | Oh. I didn't realize... I object to things being allowed in more permissibly after the beta release :P | 23:25 |
| Darxus | Thanks. | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | Darxus: if you follow the link to BetaFreeze from the schedule, you will see this described | 23:25 |
| Darxus | Thanks. | 23:26 |
| Darxus | Oh, that's what FFE stands for :P | 23:27 |
| Darxus | I still don't think testing by just me and the packager would be sufficient? | 23:28 |
| cjwatson | dunno, certainly not going to look at this time of night :) | 23:29 |
| Darxus | Heh. | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | it's less testing and more the quantity and type of changes | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | though obviously testing is important | 23:29 |
| === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk | ||
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| Darxus | Well, it's a major revision of hugin, so I expect the changes to be substantial. | 23:35 |
| sharms | pitti: did you get my message about usblp | 23:38 |
| sharms | pitti: by disabling usblp by default people using the usb-parallel adapters for a variety of tasks will no longer be able to use them, is there is work around, and if not how do I get that added to the release notes? | 23:40 |
| sharms | or anyone for that matter, since blacklist usblp is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cups.conf, these adapters will stop working unless they all get userspace drivers for them right | 23:45 |
