| TheMuso | asac: When you get a chance, could you please try Daniel's proposed fix for your issue with the audio clicking If it works for you, I'll go ahead and upload the fix to karmic. | 00:04 |
| Darxus | Why do both lubuntu and xubuntu exist? | 00:05 |
| TheMuso | Whats lubuntu? | 00:05 |
| TheMuso | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with an XFCE desktop. | 00:05 |
| Darxus | Lubuntu is Ubuntu with an LXDE desktop. Same target audience, lower hardware requirements. | 00:06 |
| Darxus | Both official Ubuntu variants. | 00:06 |
| TheMuso | Right. | 00:07 |
| Darxus | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 00:08 |
| TheMuso | Darxus: Well they exist because people feel there is aneed to have those desktops on an Ubuntu base. | 00:08 |
| Darxus | Yeah but why both? Like, what are the advantages the two have over each other? | 00:09 |
| TheMuso | I don't know. | 00:10 |
| TheMuso | You'll have to ask the respective devs of the derivatives. | 00:11 |
| Darxus | Okay, thanks. | 00:11 |
| mgunes | Good day all. http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/removals.txt seems to have disappeared after the switch to people.canonical.com. Is the list of archive removals available elsewhere now? | 00:12 |
| TheMuso | mgunes: Try people.canonical.com? | 00:12 |
| mgunes | TheMuso, it's not there. | 00:12 |
| cjwatson | mgunes: it disappeared well before that; the data is stored in Launchpad now | 00:13 |
| TheMuso | mgunes: ah ok | 00:13 |
| cjwatson | (although unfortunately for each individual package, not a full list like we used to have) | 00:13 |
| mgunes | cjwatson, I though so and was clicking around Soyuz, but haven't found it so far | 00:13 |
| mgunes | ah, per package | 00:14 |
| cjwatson | should be in the publishing history | 00:14 |
| mgunes | cjwatson, thanks, will check. | 00:14 |
| cjwatson | see bug 159585 for the history of this change | 00:16 |

| mgunes | thanks; that looks informative. | 00:18 |
| slangasek | smoser: yep, that's what I was looking for, thanks | 00:45 |
| slangasek | smoser: I see .6 is using the all-in-one tar approach, though? | 00:45 |
| smoser | slangasek, both | 00:54 |
| smoser | all in one, and then 'unpacked' for Gustavo | 00:54 |
| === bjf is now known as bjf-afk | ||
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| slangasek | smoser: that's not what I see in the .6 directory - I only see the .tar.gz there | 01:47 |
| slangasek | smoser: oh... n/m, I missed the "unpacked" subdir | 01:53 |
| phretor | hi | 02:11 |
| phretor | I wandering why cherokee is now 0.9.22 and Jaunty is stick on 0.11.6 - isn't it quite old? | 02:11 |
| TheMuso | phretor: Because once a release like jaunty is released, software in jaunty is not updated to new versions. | 02:13 |
| phretor | TheMuso: I see, I am not aware of the release engineering, sorry. However, I get updates almost weekly when software gets updated. Why you say that? | 02:15 |
| StevenK | phretor: They get updated for security fixes or critical bug fixes, not to update them to new versions. | 02:16 |
| StevenK | phretor: There are very very few exceptions to that. | 02:16 |
| phretor | StevenK: I see, you are right. Anyways, what would you recommend to do not to disrupt the distribution but have updated packages when needed? | 02:16 |
| mathiaz | phretor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports | 02:17 |
| StevenK | phretor: Either requesting backports, or a simpler way is to use a PPA | 02:20 |
| phretor | StevenK: exactly, especially because cherokee is 0.11.6 on backports. It's quite up to date on PPA | 02:22 |
| phretor | thanks for your support | 02:37 |
| Darxus | I'm very concerned about Karmic's behavior when booting with screwed up video drivers. Everything before it would try starting X a couple times, then give up and drop you to a shell login. | 05:29 |
| Darxus | Karmic, apparently, just flickers uselessly forever. | 05:29 |
| bryce | Darxus, I believe that is because in the gdm rewrite they dropped the functionality that used to permit falling into that failsafe session | 05:34 |
| dave---- | hi | 05:36 |
| dave---- | for encryption in karmic | 05:42 |
| dave---- | i recommend the default installer now use twofish-xts-benbi | 05:43 |
| dave---- | AES will soon be broken. | 05:43 |
| dave---- | also, if you upgrade cryptsetup to 1.1.0rc2 | 05:43 |
| dave---- | you can hash the password with sha512 | 05:43 |
| dave---- | so eg | 05:43 |
| dave---- | cryptsetup -i 10 -y -h sha512 -S 512 luksFormat /dev/sdx | 05:45 |
| dave---- | my bad | 05:45 |
| dave---- | cryptsetup -i 10 -y -h sha512 -S 512 -c twofish-xts-benbi luksFormat /dev/sdx | 05:46 |
| dave---- | cryptsetup -i 10 -y -h sha512 -s 512 -c twofish-xts-benbi luksFormat /dev/sdx s , not S | 05:47 |
| dave---- | would be nice if thoes were the defualts for the automated crypto installer | 05:47 |
| dave---- | i would also like to include that the new version of cryptsetup has the luksSuspend command | 05:48 |
| dave---- | wich will wipe the crypto key, and "freeze" the crypted volume | 05:48 |
| dave---- | this is extremely useful for hibernation mode | 05:48 |
| [reed] | dave----: you should file a bug | 06:01 |
| Darxus | [ 6.540427] nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout | 06:04 |
| Darxus | I watched dkms rebuild that module, how would it have a different symbol version? | 06:05 |
| Amaranth | Darxus: well, it's not all recompiled, just the wrapper | 06:07 |
| dave---- | [reed], it is no bug | 06:12 |
| Darxus | Amaranth: So what do I need to do? | 06:12 |
| dave---- | but i believe the latest ubuntu aims for the cutting edge | 06:12 |
| [reed] | dave----: launchpad bug | 06:12 |
| [reed] | everything is tracked on launchpad as a bug | 06:13 |
| [reed] | even RFEs | 06:13 |
| dave---- | do you think anyone will listen | 06:13 |
| dave---- | ive doe extensive testing with 1.1.0rc2 | 06:13 |
| [reed] | who knows, but I can promise you that nothing will ever change just based on some random talk on IRC. still requires a launchpad bug | 06:13 |
| dave---- | it works fine, all of the commands, but im no cryptographer, so i did everything testing wises short of cryptanalysis | 06:14 |
| dave---- | i mailed the developer | 06:14 |
| Darxus | dave----: Please do file a bug. | 06:14 |
| dave---- | Darxus, i will | 06:15 |
| dave---- | can you point me to a specifc pplace to file it? | 06:15 |
| Amaranth | dave----: `ubuntu-bug cryptsetup` | 06:15 |
| dave---- | also i would like to have some people test 1.1rc2 *before* the karmac release | 06:15 |
| dave---- | so if anyone here using an encrypted system can manually upgrade | 06:16 |
| dave---- | its here http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/downloads/list | 06:16 |
| dave---- | i have done a lot of testing , 5 different systems , running juanty, and karmic | 06:17 |
| dave---- | 1.1rc2 seems to be "stable enough" and, it is still fully backwards compatible (tested) | 06:18 |
| Darxus | Still a release candidate though? | 06:19 |
| astronut | does anyone know if i can find a backport of libopenbabel 2.2.3 for jaunty? | 06:20 |
| astronut | google isn't returning anything useful | 06:20 |
| Darxus | Well, have you tried jaunty backports? | 06:21 |
| astronut | it didn't appear in http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-backports/allpackages | 06:22 |
| Darxus | Okay. You know it might be easy to rebuild yourself? | 06:22 |
| astronut | Darxus: yes, except i don't have an ubuntu system - i'm IM-supporting a friend who's new to linux - i put ubuntu on her netbook a few days ago | 06:23 |
| astronut | i don't have an ubuntu pbuilder set up or anything | 06:23 |
| Darxus | Ah. | 06:23 |
| astronut | mind doing me a favor? ;-) | 06:23 |
| Darxus | Heh. | 06:23 |
| Darxus | It is *so* past my bedtime. | 06:23 |
| astronut | fair enough | 06:24 |
| astronut | i should be able to debootstap a pbuilder | 06:24 |
| Darxus | Hold on... | 06:24 |
| astronut | it's past mine too, i have class in like 7 hours | 06:24 |
| Darxus | You should be able to just install build-essential, and apt-get build-dep libopenbabel... | 06:24 |
| Darxus | then apt-get source libopenbabel, cd into it, and run debuild. | 06:25 |
| astronut | mmm, i just have to do it over IM | 06:25 |
| astronut | wget + dpkg would be easier, but fair enough | 06:25 |
| Darxus | It's like 3 commands :) | 06:25 |
| Darxus | Plus a cd. | 06:25 |
| astronut | ya, it was a libstdc++ that was the problem for karmic, so it should build | 06:25 |
| astronut | and a dget | 06:25 |
| astronut | :-P | 06:26 |
| astronut | since the apt-get source will pull the wrong one | 06:26 |
| astronut | anyway, i'll walk her through it | 06:26 |
| Darxus | Pull the wrong what? | 06:26 |
| astronut | Darxus: it'll pull the jaunty version, i'm not getting her to edit her sources.list | 06:26 |
| Darxus | Oh, right, hah. | 06:26 |
| Darxus | Well, I'm in my jaunty box at work now... | 06:27 |
| astronut | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openbabel/openbabel_2.2.3-1.dsc | 06:27 |
| Darxus | Adding deb-src's for karmic isn't dangerous :P | 06:27 |
| pitti | Good morning | 06:28 |
| astronut | having someone modify sources.list via IM is | 06:28 |
| astronut | i'd have her install openssh but i don't want to mess w/ her router via IM too | 06:28 |
| dave---- | Darxus, yes it is still a release candidate, however if it gets "mainstreamed" into karamac , it wont be for long | 06:29 |
| astronut | Darxus: you also forgot devscripts (debuild) | 06:30 |
| Darxus | Yeah well, the thing that looks up packages for commands you execute is awesome :) | 06:31 |
| astronut | Darxus: not installed here | 06:31 |
| dave---- | Darxus, also if there any willing testers here for rc2 it will speed up its development into a final release | 06:31 |
| astronut | it's ubuntu-specific? | 06:31 |
| Darxus | E: Unable to find a source package for libopenbabel | 06:31 |
| Darxus | Weird. | 06:31 |
| Darxus | I must be too tired for this. | 06:31 |
| astronut | libopenbabel3/libopenbabel-dev | 06:31 |
| Darxus | li... yeah.... | 06:32 |
| geofft | libraries almost always have soname numbers in the package name. | 06:32 |
| Darxus | $ apt-get source libopenbabel-dev | 06:32 |
| astronut | geofft: and usually also the -dev name, which suprised me | 06:32 |
| Darxus | E: Unable to find a source package for openbabel | 06:32 |
| wgrant | geofft: Not often in the source. | 06:32 |
| astronut | oh, and i meant 2 not 3 | 06:33 |
| Darxus | http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libopenbabel-dev exists | 06:33 |
| geofft | But doesn't apt-get source take a binary package name? | 06:33 |
| wgrant | geofft: It takes either. | 06:33 |
| astronut | yes - the -dev is a binary | 06:33 |
| Darxus | deb-src http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse | 06:33 |
| Darxus | is in my sources.list. | 06:33 |
| Darxus | I ran aptitude update... | 06:34 |
| astronut | http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libopenbabel-dev | 06:34 |
| astronut | http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/karmic/openbabel | 06:34 |
| Darxus | Bah. | 06:34 |
| Darxus | What, do you just extract the tarball and run patch? | 06:35 |
| astronut | huh? | 06:35 |
| Darxus | Yeah that worked. | 06:36 |
| wgrant | Darxus: dpkg-source -x blah.dsc | 06:36 |
| Darxus | Ah, thanks. | 06:37 |
| Darxus | Although untarring and running patch seems to have worked. | 06:37 |
| Darxus | astronut: Oh! You could just upload a source package to a launchpad ppa, and have it build for jaunty. | 06:38 |
| astronut | Darxus: i think signing up for launchpad and creating a ppa would be more timeconsuming that debootstrapping a pbuilder | 06:41 |
| Darxus | astronut: Building. | 06:41 |
| astronut | Darxus: oh, awesome | 06:42 |
| astronut | Darxus: it'd be really sweet if someone ran a network of pbuilders like the ones anibal has set up for sponsorship in debian | 06:42 |
| astronut | you can jus temail it a link to a dsc and it downloads/builds the package | 06:42 |
| Darxus | It hasn't died yet. | 06:44 |
| astronut | man, the new thinkpad's thinklights are BRIGHT in the dark | 06:44 |
| astronut | white instead of yellow | 06:44 |
| Darxus | astronut: Did you get what I said about using a launchpad ppa to do this? | 06:45 |
| astronut | 01:41 < astronut> Darxus: i think signing up for launchpad and creating a ppa would be more timeconsuming that debootstrapping a pbuilde | 06:45 |
| Darxus | Heh. | 06:45 |
| Darxus | I'm also not sure how you'd get the unmodified source package into the ppa.... | 06:46 |
| Darxus | Still building. | 06:48 |
| Darxus | I should've just built the source package and uploaded it to my ppa. | 06:53 |
| Darxus | It's running tests, that should be good. | 06:59 |
| Darxus | Ah dammit, I don't have my keys on that machine to build a source package to send to ppa. | 07:02 |
| Darxus | Still building... | 07:02 |
| astronut | Darxus: don't worry about it | 07:02 |
| Darxus | But I'm so close... | 07:03 |
| Darxus | Maybe. Maybe it'll take a couple more hours. | 07:03 |
| dave---- | are there any devs in here that are interested in the automated crypto installer? | 07:04 |
| Darxus | Oh, looks like it's done compiling and now it's building the package. | 07:06 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: tar tvfz /srv/language-packs.ubuntu.com/karmic/sources-update/language-pack-de/data/mozilla.tar.gz <- still looks pretty empty | 07:08 |

| joaopinto | I hate manpages sorry :| | 08:13 |
| joaopinto | I mean, writting them | 08:13 |
| mvo | joaopinto: the frontend will just tell the gconf settings to aptd | 08:13 |
| mvo | joaopinto: should be fixed today | 08:13 |
| ArneGoetje | pitti: mozilla translations are empty. and the current run still fails. asac needs to check his scripts again | 08:18 |
| pitti | oh, I see | 08:18 |
| ttx | soren: CD spinned -- current still points to the previous one though. Any manual interaction needed ? | 08:23 |
| soren | ttx: Not that I know of, but I'm still rather new to this. | 08:23 |
| soren | pitti: ^ ? | 08:24 |
| pitti | it should be updated automatically | 08:24 |
| ttx | ok, I guess it will happen[tm] | 08:24 |
| pitti | current -> 20091009 | 08:24 |
| pitti | it is current, at least on cdimge | 08:24 |
| ttx | not from here | 08:24 |

| ttx | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ -> 20091008 | 08:25 |
| pitti | hm, seems cdimage.u.c. is either still syncing, or broken | 08:25 |
| soren | Odd. | 08:25 |
| pitti | ttx: right, I just checked on antimony (master image) | 08:25 |
| ttx | and now it's ok | 08:25 |
| ttx | it just synced. | 08:25 |
| robert_ancell | dholbach, do you if there is supposed to be a motu meeting now? | 08:25 |
| soren | ttx: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ still shows me yesterday's images. | 08:26 |

| davmor2 | ttx: Have the dust started to settle on uec now? Is it worth reviewing the docs or shall I leave it till next week? | 08:28 |
| ttx | davmor2: we still need to update them to reflect the latest bundling for UEC images delivery | 08:28 |
| ttx | davmor2: next week should be alright... and the tests on the tracker should be aligned by then | 08:29 |
| davmor2 | ttx: Cool okay. That will tie it in nicely then with RC | 08:29 |

| dholbach | I just did an upgrade of my server to karmic - dpkg segfaulted - everything segfaults now | 09:41 |
| dholbach | I think I'm thoroughly screwed now | 09:41 |
| ion | Ouch | 09:42 |
| dholbach | and the server is 500km away from here | 09:43 |
| StevenK | dholbach: When did dpkg segv? | 09:44 |
| dholbach | StevenK: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dholbach/log | 09:47 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: i looked last night. and it was a permission problem | 09:51 |
| asac | fixed it already | 09:51 |
| asac | at least from what i can tell | 09:51 |
| StevenK | dholbach: Yeah, that's pretty bad. :-( | 09:52 |
| soren | dholbach: What kind of hardware is that? | 09:57 |
| dholbach | soren: it's a vserver, i386 running on it | 09:59 |
| ion | dholbach: The last time the exact same symptoms (pretty much identical log) happened to me was almost ten years ago: libc.so got corrupted when upgrading due to faulty hardware. | 09:59 |
| soren | dholbach: vserver? As in http://linux-vserver.org/ ? | 10:00 |
| dholbach | soren: yes, I think | 10:00 |
| soren | dholbach: Wow. I haven't heard of anyone actually using that before :) | 10:00 |
| soren | dholbach: Who offers these? | 10:01 |
| mvo | ion: I got a similar report some days ago, jaunty->karmic and a crash early from dpkg | 10:01 |
| dholbach | soren: net-lab.net | 10:01 |
| mvo | I really hope dholbach manages to get the crash file from the dpkg segfault (and that there is one) | 10:04 |
| siretart` | soren: dholbach: I'm using vserver with hardy w/o problems so far. | 10:22 |
| siretart` | dholbach: what kernel is your vserver running on? | 10:22 |
| sistpoty|work | is there something wrong with de.archive.ubuntu.com? (got 403 at 141.76.2.130, http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages, 141.76.2.131 times out) | 10:22 |
| dholbach | siretart`: 2.6.29.4-vserver2.3.0.36.14-demou-nfct-100hz-nopre-something | 10:23 |
| dholbach | s/demou/domu | 10:23 |
| siretart` | hm. at least hardy works with the stock debian vserver kernel. | 10:24 |
| dholbach | hardy worked, jaunty worked too and I'm that once libc works again, karmic will work too :) | 10:24 |
| dholbach | ...I'm sure... | 10:24 |
| siretart` | then it would be very interesting to know what kernel requirements karmic's libc has | 10:26 |
| dholbach | why do you think it's a kernel problem? | 10:26 |
| siretart` | not sure, but I'd like to rule that out first. it seems to me the most obvious difference to a 'normal' ubuntu chroot | 10:29 |
| dholbach | mvo: the other dpkg crash - where did that happen? | 10:29 |
| mvo | Riddell: do you have any objectitions if I change the autostart file of the policykit auth agent from "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE" to include KDE as well? | 10:29 |

| pitti | thekorn_: it's "intended" in the sense that the user should still authorize it, but of course in this case it would make sense to not show a password input at all | 11:45 |
| thekorn_ | pitti: right, this is especially confusing in cases where you first enter a wireless network (you are asked to choose a password for gnome-keyring there), and I guess most user will try to enter this password into this policykit dialog | 11:48 |
| thekorn_ | pitti: what's the right target for this bugreport, policykit? | 11:49 |

| nxvl | Keybuk: i've 6 512 Mb encrypted LVM partitions for swap, not even one mounted | 12:04 |
| pitti | cjwatson: CD health check> hm, I don't understand how the sysvinit binary can be so sticky; it disappeared from karmic weeks ago.. | 12:04 |
| Keybuk | nxvl: usually you get one mounted ;) | 12:06 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: great. also excluding the 3.0/1.9.1 things worked? | 12:06 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: have you checked if zh-trans etc. is good too? | 12:07 |
| cjwatson | pitti: I can have a look; I didn't realise it was that long ago | 12:07 |
| cjwatson | pitti: are you sure that it wasn't only NBSed out recently? | 12:07 |
| pitti | cjwatson: at least a week ago | 12:07 |

| nxvl | Keybuk: usually i got all 6 mounted, but since i upgraded to karmic i get none | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | pitti: well, it's not in antimony's mirror any more | 12:08 |
| asac | pitti: what should i be asking for? | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | pitti: last DVD build that worked was last Saturday | 12:08 |
| asac | pitti: e.g. whats the exact group name | 12:08 |
| pitti | asac: you want to become member of the "langpack" group | 12:08 |
| pitti | cjwatson: is there an NBS removal lag from antimony by any chance? | 12:09 |
| pitti | hm, no, I suppose it uses Packages.gz | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | pitti: it rsyncs the whole mirror, actually | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | it *should* use Packages for its own bits | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | pitti: from what I can see, though, it looks as if the next DVD build should get rid of it | 12:09 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ok; I'm fine with just ignoring it, seems it isn't something obvious then | 12:10 |
| pitti | cjwatson: thanks | 12:10 |
| nxvl | Keybuk: the weirdest part is that using swapon it works fine, so i assume is something in the boot process, i suspect that swap is trying to be mounted before my disk get's unencrypted/mounted? | 12:12 |
| asac | Keybuk: how to detect if the the current system has upstart? really want to fix NetworkManager upstream build system to do the right thing | 12:15 |
| Keybuk | asac: I'm not sure there is a way ;) | 12:22 |
| Keybuk | init --version | grep Upstart? :) | 12:22 |
| Keybuk | but that won't work on our buildds, for example | 12:22 |
| asac | Keybuk: ok. so i guess that means we probably want --with-upstart-init ... now i need to find something for debian/rules so my packages are backportable without touching ... hmm | 12:28 |
| Keybuk | I wouldn't worry about doing this "upstream" just yet | 12:29 |

| Keybuk | e.g. Fedora have an older Upstart than us, so they wouldn't be able to use it | 12:29 |

| Keybuk | really, can't you just use the older dh_installinit on the older versions? | 12:30 |

| asac | but i have a fix for po2xpi ... so devmode will be fine in lucid right from start | 12:33 |
| asac | Keybuk: i will think about it. maybe i can get that info from dh_installinit or some other upstartified debhelper thing in debian/rules and then pass --with-upstart or something to upstream tree? | 12:34 |
| asac | Keybuk: do you know about debian plans wrt upstart? | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | asac: no idea | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | Debian "plan" to adopt it | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | but only if the Debian maintainer (mbiebl) makes a bunch of changes the Debian sysvinit maintainer wants | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | and assumedly only if someone from the freebsd side ports it | 12:35 |
| asac | ok i will check with mbiebl directly. would be great to have something one can use at some point to figure if we have upstart | 12:36 |

| frafu | Hi, I am co-maintainer of onboard, the onscreen keyboard shipping by default with karmic. Onboard is hosted on launchpad, that is also used for the translations. A new version with a corresponding branch and series hit karmic several days ago. However, the language pack update from yesterday is still shipping old onboard.mo files. Could anybody please tell me what I have to do to get the new translation files into the language pack? | 13:26 |

| frafu | james_w: thanks; I am going to #ubuntu-translations | 13:28 |
| james_w | should we ship a casper script to allow everything without password on the live cd? | 13:28 |
| cjwatson | james_w: we already try to, but it tends to get out of date | 13:29 |
| james_w | ah | 13:29 |
| james_w | in which package does that live | 13:29 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: nice. thats great. one more verification: if you set export LANG=es/pt/zh (nothing more) ... what es coutry code are used? | 13:29 |
| cjwatson | see e.g. 44pk_allow_ubuntu | 13:29 |
| cjwatson | james_w: casper itself, scripts/casper-bottom/ | 13:29 |
| asac | what es/pt/zh ... | 13:29 |
| james_w | if we want *everything* then it is easier with polkit-1 | 13:29 |
| james_w | thanks cjwatson | 13:29 |
| cjwatson | I suspect that pk_allow_ubuntu needs to be updated for polkit-1 | 13:30 |
| james_w | yes, I can look at that | 13:30 |
| cjwatson | asac: those aren't valid values for LANG on their own ... | 13:30 |
| asac | true | 13:31 |
| asac | but its good to test the default anyway | 13:31 |
| asac | in case you have es_RARECOUNTRY set and we dont have a langpack it will fallback to whatever it would choose with just es | 13:32 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: in that case, just es. | 13:32 |
| asac | oh ;) | 13:32 |
| asac | hehe | 13:32 |
| frafu | james_w: #ubuntu-translations gets created when I try to join it. Are you sure about the name? | 13:33 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: just almost got me. i think the es is just a hook still | 13:33 |
| james_w | frafu: #ubuntu-translators, sorry | 13:33 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: physically we ship es-ES es-AR etc. and have a hook that maps es to es-ES | 13:33 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: the default fallback is: strip off the country code | 13:33 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: except for special cases, like zh_* | 13:34 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: yes. but we use upstream xpis | 13:34 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: in the case where we have upstream xpis, those get used, of course | 13:34 |
| asac | so we definitly have a hook in the po2xpi processort to propery hook up the default | 13:35 |
| frafu | james_w: thanks again | 13:35 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: ? | 13:35 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: i am trying to tell you that the fallback for es could be wrong ;) ... so we should verify that | 13:35 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: in which ase would it be wrong? | 13:36 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: ah, ok, I see what you mean... | 13:39 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: because we ship es-ES.xpi and not es.xpi... so the fallback should be es_ES:es | 13:40 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: good point. I guess we need to specify this for all cases where the upstream xpis have coutry codes... | 13:41 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: yep. so the po2xpi appends a magic mapping to the install.rdf of whatever we have configured to be the default | 13:43 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: you can just check in the install.rdf if there are locale es ... mappings below the es-ES ones | 13:43 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: oh, I see | 13:44 |
| asac | ArneGoetje: right. so you can check all that have multiple country codes. if you want some default to be changes just let me know | 13:50 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: ok | 13:57 |
| === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew | ||

| ArneGoetje | asac: ok | 14:11 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: also, there are no fallbacks set | 14:13 |
| ArneGoetje | asac: do we need fallbacks in them? Aren't the upstream XPIs supposed to be complete? | 14:14 |
| asac | no they are not. upstream uses random fallback ... but they are not really into shipping multi lang setups | 14:15 |

| joaopinto | mvo, no, but I used the "Check for updates" button | 15:28 |
| joaopinto | so both should have the same cache info | 15:28 |
| mvo | joaopinto: right, maybe there were just new updates on the server between installing via aptdcon and clicking check? | 15:29 |
| joaopinto | mvo, ah ok, its a kernel package, it maybe related to a dist-upgrade | 15:29 |

| directhex | am i misremembering that ubuntu is a bit more lenient over creative commons' viability for main/universe than debian? | 15:46 |
| ogra | cjwatson, phew, hard, we could set a flag in the livesystem i.e. /.livemedia_is_boot from flash-kernel in case we actually re-use the install media | 15:47 |
| Laney | the only freeness difference I know of is over gfdl invariant sections | 15:47 |
| ogra | cjwatson, i cant imagine a general case to actually "detect" it | 15:47 |
| LaserJock | directhex: I think Ubuntu took the free CC 2.5 licenses but Debian only considers > 3.0 free I believe | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | ogra: well, what's the condition in the installer? "installing to other partitions on the installation medium"? | 15:47 |
| directhex | LaserJock, right, okay | 15:48 |
| ogra | cjwatson, no, in that special case install media is different from target media (SD vs USB disk) we just truncate the boot partition on the install media here | 15:48 |
| ogra | cjwatson, this is done by flash-kernel-installer.postins which could set some kind of marker that could be read by usplash | 15:49 |
| ogra | *postinst | 15:49 |
| cjwatson | ogra: s/usplash/casper/ actually | 15:50 |
| ogra | yah | 15:50 |
| ogra | *yeah even | 15:50 |
| cjwatson | ogra: hmm, partman knows what the installation medium is though | 15:51 |
| ogra | right, but it doesnt know the install medium is being truncated and abused as a "boot floppy" | 15:51 |
| cjwatson | ogra: oh, we don't create partitions on the medium? | 15:52 |
| ogra | the actual work has to be done by the bootloader installer though it's surely valuable info for that program to know about it | 15:52 |
| ogra | nope | 15:52 |
| ogra | we dont touch the mediums partition table at all | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | ogra: ok. can you point me to the specific code in flash-kernel-installer that does this? is it the fconfig call? | 15:53 |
| ogra | babbage install: boot from SD .... install to USB disk, bootloader modifies bootloader partition on SD .... | 15:53 |
| cjwatson | maybe we should just make this conditional on babbage-board in casper, rather than messing about | 15:54 |
| ogra | itÄs several fis calls in combination with dd | 15:54 |
| cjwatson | we always act this way on Babbage, right? | 15:55 |
| ogra | currently we do | 15:55 |
| ogra | it might change once we have a driver for mtd flash devices | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | ok, in that case I'll just make it conditional on that for now | 15:55 |
| ogra | wont change for karmic anymore though | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | I just want the bug off my list really :) | 15:55 |
| ogra | fis_dev=/dev/mmcblk0 is hardcoded ... if you can carry the info from partman over it should be easy to make it conditional based on comparison | 15:56 |

| slangasek | cjwatson: 431248> requires further follow-up; I think I know what the race condition is, I probably need Scott's help there | 16:01 |
| Keybuk | hmm? | 16:02 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: the most obvious problem being that there's nothing that happens after rpc.* have been started ? | 16:11 |
| Keybuk | so if ifup is faster, it wins? | 16:11 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: yes - and in fact, I think one user having this problem is doing NFS root and never brings up any network interfaces, heh | 16:15 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: should the NFS jobs have 'normal exit 0 1' or something? I see a certain amount of console noise from them here | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | rpc_pipefs idmapd gssd all complain about pre-start exiting 1 | 16:18 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: no; I use exit 1 in the pre-start script to avoid starting the actual daemon, since extra forks in 'script' make upstart very unhappy | 16:19 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: I've got a fix for that already :) | 16:20 |
| Keybuk | (the race) | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | what is the correct way for a pre-start script to exit in such a way that (a) the main process doesn't run and (b) it's silent? | 16:21 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: there isn't one | 16:22 |
| Keybuk | actually, sorry | 16:22 |
| * Keybuk rereads the question properly | 16:22 | |
| Keybuk | || { stop; exit 0; } | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | aha | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | "stop" called inside a job's own scripts will set the status to be stopped | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | so even though you exit 0, it won't result in the process being started | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | wow, I never knew that stop implicitly checked the job name | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | not documented :) | 16:24 |
| Keybuk | (likewise you can call "start" inside a post-stop script to restart it) | 16:24 |
| slangasek | oh, cool | 16:25 |
| slangasek | Keybuk: as for the race, what's the fix? are you going to upload that, or do you want to throw it at me? | 16:25 |
| * cjwatson cleans up usplash.upstart then | 16:25 | |

| mdz | smoser: that will report the bug to staging.launchpad.net (whose database gets tossed every day) | 16:42 |

| smoser | ah.. | 16:42 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: basically the idea is to start the nfs bits when mountall finds an nfs partition not the other way round | 16:42 |
| smoser | i just created one already, and tagged it invalid. i'll remember staging in the future. | 16:42 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: so idmapd.conf would contain "start on local-filesystems and mount TYPE=nfs4" | 16:42 |

| Keybuk | slangasek: gssd.cof "start on local-filesystems and started portmap and (mount OPTIONS=*krb5*...) etc. | 16:43 |

| Keybuk | but I'm not sure that works :) | 16:44 |
| lamont | why does karmic not see my thumbdrive when I plug it in? | 16:50 |
| mdz | smoser: it looks at the AMI to check if it is EC2 or UEC presently; you might want to update it to use your script | 16:50 |
| leszek | lamont, karmic switched from hal to devickit to handle hardware just like your thumbdrive, which one is it ? | 16:51 |
| smoser | mdz, the only issue with looking just doing a blind grab for http://169... is that could be firewalled off or some other issue that made for long timeout | 16:52 |
| smoser | thats why i was thinking best to check somethign else first. its also possible that such a seemingly arbitrary http request could have other negative effects (although i can't really think of many) | 16:53 |

| dtchen | evand: i'm happy to file a bug about the usb-creator symptom i'm describing (just lacked time and wanted to check first if you were aware): if there is larger-sized removable media, e.g., dvd, (un)mounted when i attempt to use usb-creator to write an iso to a thumb drive, i'm unable to choose the iso as the source | 18:27 |
| evand | dtchen: I'm slightly confused. Exactly what happens when you try to select an ISO? | 18:29 |
| rgreening | dtchen: can you confirm if that happens for the usb-creator-kde too? or just the gtk? (I expect both....) | 18:30 |
| rgreening | :) | 18:30 |
| dtchen | rgreening: it occurs for both frontends. | 18:30 |
| LaserJock | where do people go to report bugs against the .isos? like problems with seeds or the build process itself and is it possible to file a bug against a non-Ubuntu distro? like Kubuntu, etc. | 18:30 |
| dtchen | evand: ok, use case is: i have an unmounted dvd in the drive. i open usb-creator, select the unr daily iso, and attempt to write it to a 2 GB usb thumb drive. usb-creator tells me that it can't write to the thumb drive because the destination lacks sufficient space. | 18:31 |
| ScottK | LaserJock: Most of the seed type bugs seem to get filed against *-meta. | 18:31 |
| dtchen | evand: in fact, whether the dvd is mounted is irrelevant, since i need to remove the disc from the drive to prevent it from being chosen as the source in usb-creator | 18:32 |
| evand | dtchen: I'm just not seeing how the DVD has any bearing on usb-creator. | 18:32 |
| LaserJock | ScottK: I noticed that, even when they aren't for packages that are built from -meta | 18:32 |
| evand | dtchen: can you not just press the other button and select an ISO? Or are you saying even if you do that, internally usb-creator is still using the DVD image, and removing the DVD disc from the drive causes the problem to disappear? | 18:34 |
| * rgreening tries to duplicate here | 18:34 | |
| dtchen | evand: the latter. selecting the desired unr iso appears to do nothing. | 18:34 |
| evand | dtchen: can you file a bug please and attach ~/.usbcreator.log | 18:35 |
| evand | I'm assuming this is on Karmic? | 18:35 |

| james_w | if there are two process connected with stdin/stdout pipes | 18:50 |
| james_w | so the parent gives instructions to the child on its stdin | 18:50 |
| james_w | and the parent writes without and explicit flush | 18:50 |
| james_w | while the child is doing an fgets on its stdin | 18:52 |
| james_w | is that going to cause issues? | 18:52 |
| james_w | like say, deadlock 75% of the time (fingers crossed) | 18:52 |
| james_w | well, 75% of the time for some people, and apparently never for most | 18:52 |
| slangasek | writes without explicit flush, then waits for the child to take an action? | 18:53 |
| james_w | yeah | 18:53 |
| slangasek | yep | 18:53 |
| james_w | the parent does: | 18:53 |
| james_w | write (session->child_stdin, response, response_len); | 18:53 |
| james_w | if (add_newline) | 18:53 |
| james_w | write (session->child_stdin, newline, 1); | 18:53 |
| james_w | to pass the password down to the child, which is in the middle of a pam_authenticate session | 18:54 |
| slangasek | you probably want an unbuffered fd there, no? | 18:54 |
| james_w | the parent then expects the child to finish the session | 18:54 |
| james_w | ah, let me find if it is doing that | 18:54 |
| slangasek | right, the parent should force it either by doing unbuffered I/O, or by closing the fd after it's done with it | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | (a) the write is not guaranteed to write everything in one go | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | (b) fgets may not get the whole line in one go | 18:55 |
| james_w | the child is: | 18:56 |
| james_w | if (fgets (buf, sizeof buf, stdin) == NULL) | 18:56 |
| james_w | goto error; | 18:56 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: fgets should only give a short read if the buffer is too small? | 18:57 |
| james_w | I can't see it setting the I/O unbuffered, g_spawn_async_with_pipes doesn't say it returns unbuffered pipes (and I'm pretty sure it doesn't), and I don't think there's a way to set unbuffered by default | 18:57 |
| === jsalisbury_ is now known as jsalisbury | ||
| james_w | the return of write is the number of bytes written? | 18:58 |
| slangasek | yes | 18:58 |
| james_w | so we need that loop which handles EAGAIN as well | 18:58 |
| james_w | I'll stick this in a PPA and ask the reporter to test | 18:58 |
| james_w | it certainly smells fishy | 18:58 |
| james_w | thanks for your help | 18:58 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: if there aren't enough bytes to read right now, it'll stop | 18:58 |
| cjwatson | so I tend to err on the side of paranoia when fgets'ing from pipes | 18:59 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: fgets? that's not what the manpage says (and not how I remember it's supposed to work) | 18:59 |
| slangasek | unless by "stop" you mean "block" :) | 18:59 |
| cjwatson | the man page says that it stops on EOF | 19:00 |
| james_w | how can you tell that fgets hasn't? | 19:00 |
| james_w | look for \n? | 19:00 |
| cjwatson | what is EOF on a pipe but read-returned-0? | 19:00 |

| chrisccoulson | GDB probably can't find the gdk_x_error symbol, because the GDK stuff hasn't been loaded yet | 19:01 |

| chrisccoulson | hmmm:/ | 19:01 |
| slangasek | chrisccoulson: oh; but this time, it worked | 19:01 |
| chrisccoulson | excellent:) | 19:02 |
| slangasek | apparently it wasn't long enough after startup before | 19:02 |
| slangasek | ok, let me go break it | 19:02 |
| chrisccoulson | i was going to ask if you could edit the desktop file and add the --sync option, so apport gets it | 19:02 |
| chrisccoulson | but it doesn't matter now if its working | 19:02 |
| james_w | what's the flush() call to go with write()? | 19:02 |
| slangasek | well shit, that's no good | 19:03 |
| slangasek | I broke X instead | 19:03 |
| chrisccoulson | in what way? | 19:03 |
| chrisccoulson | if it's frozen when GDB breaks, then that sometimes happens when debugging X errors - i normally run GDB on a separate console from my X session | 19:04 |
| slangasek | chrisccoulson: X segfaulted | 19:05 |
| chrisccoulson | hmm, that's not good | 19:05 |
| slangasek | if it had just hung, I could've killed it from vt1 :) | 19:05 |
| slangasek | (killed gdb, that is) | 19:06 |
| chrisccoulson | it might be best to append "--sync" to the Exec line in /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop, restart your session and trigger the crash outside of GDB | 19:06 |
| chrisccoulson | and then apport normally catches a good trace | 19:07 |
| chrisccoulson | anyway, dinner time. bbl | 19:07 |
| slangasek | chrisccoulson: thanks for the hints | 19:08 |

| MacSlow | ScottK, bryce: Ok, so then it's really not just me :) *phew* | 19:42 |
| bryce | sounds like you could alternatively add 'ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa' to your Software Sources | 19:43 |
| bryce | guess they hid the apt lines to make the page less cluttered or something *shrug* | 19:43 |
