[00:04] c/ [00:04] 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. [00:05] Why do both lubuntu and xubuntu exist? [00:05] Whats lubuntu? [00:05] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with an XFCE desktop. [00:06] Lubuntu is Ubuntu with an LXDE desktop. Same target audience, lower hardware requirements. [00:06] Both official Ubuntu variants. [00:07] Right. [00:08] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [00:08] Darxus: Well they exist because people feel there is aneed to have those desktops on an Ubuntu base. [00:09] Yeah but why both? Like, what are the advantages the two have over each other? [00:10] I don't know. [00:11] You'll have to ask the respective devs of the derivatives. [00:11] Okay, thanks. [00:12] 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] mgunes: Try people.canonical.com? [00:12] TheMuso, it's not there. [00:13] mgunes: it disappeared well before that; the data is stored in Launchpad now [00:13] mgunes: ah ok [00:13] (although unfortunately for each individual package, not a full list like we used to have) [00:13] cjwatson, I though so and was clicking around Soyuz, but haven't found it so far [00:14] ah, per package [00:14] should be in the publishing history [00:14] cjwatson, thanks, will check. [00:16] see bug 159585 for the history of this change [00:16] Launchpad bug 159585 in soyuz "lp-remove-package.py does not log removals to our standard place" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/159585 [00:18] thanks; that looks informative. [00:45] smoser: yep, that's what I was looking for, thanks [00:45] smoser: I see .6 is using the all-in-one tar approach, though? [00:54] slangasek, both [00:54] all in one, and then 'unpacked' for Gustavo === bjf is now known as bjf-afk === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:47] smoser: that's not what I see in the .6 directory - I only see the .tar.gz there [01:53] smoser: oh... n/m, I missed the "unpacked" subdir [02:11] hi [02:11] I wandering why cherokee is now 0.9.22 and Jaunty is stick on 0.11.6 - isn't it quite old? [02:13] phretor: Because once a release like jaunty is released, software in jaunty is not updated to new versions. [02:15] 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? [02:16] phretor: They get updated for security fixes or critical bug fixes, not to update them to new versions. [02:16] phretor: There are very very few exceptions to that. [02:16] StevenK: I see, you are right. Anyways, what would you recommend to do not to disrupt the distribution but have updated packages when needed? [02:17] phretor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [02:20] phretor: Either requesting backports, or a simpler way is to use a PPA [02:22] StevenK: exactly, especially because cherokee is 0.11.6 on backports. It's quite up to date on PPA [02:37] thanks for your support [05:29] 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] Karmic, apparently, just flickers uselessly forever. [05:34] Darxus, I believe that is because in the gdm rewrite they dropped the functionality that used to permit falling into that failsafe session [05:36] hi [05:42] for encryption in karmic [05:43] i recommend the default installer now use twofish-xts-benbi [05:43] AES will soon be broken. [05:43] also, if you upgrade cryptsetup to 1.1.0rc2 [05:43] you can hash the password with sha512 [05:43] so eg [05:45] cryptsetup -i 10 -y -h sha512 -S 512 luksFormat /dev/sdx [05:45] my bad [05:46] cryptsetup -i 10 -y -h sha512 -S 512 -c twofish-xts-benbi luksFormat /dev/sdx [05:47] cryptsetup -i 10 -y -h sha512 -s 512 -c twofish-xts-benbi luksFormat /dev/sdx s , not S [05:47] would be nice if thoes were the defualts for the automated crypto installer [05:48] i would also like to include that the new version of cryptsetup has the luksSuspend command [05:48] wich will wipe the crypto key, and "freeze" the crypted volume [05:48] this is extremely useful for hibernation mode [06:01] <[reed]> dave----: you should file a bug [06:04] [ 6.540427] nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout [06:05] I watched dkms rebuild that module, how would it have a different symbol version? [06:07] Darxus: well, it's not all recompiled, just the wrapper [06:12] [reed], it is no bug [06:12] Amaranth: So what do I need to do? [06:12] but i believe the latest ubuntu aims for the cutting edge [06:12] <[reed]> dave----: launchpad bug [06:13] <[reed]> everything is tracked on launchpad as a bug [06:13] <[reed]> even RFEs [06:13] do you think anyone will listen [06:13] 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 [06:14] it works fine, all of the commands, but im no cryptographer, so i did everything testing wises short of cryptanalysis [06:14] i mailed the developer [06:14] dave----: Please do file a bug. [06:15] Darxus, i will [06:15] can you point me to a specifc pplace to file it? [06:15] dave----: `ubuntu-bug cryptsetup` [06:15] also i would like to have some people test 1.1rc2 *before* the karmac release [06:16] so if anyone here using an encrypted system can manually upgrade [06:16] its here http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/downloads/list [06:17] i have done a lot of testing , 5 different systems , running juanty, and karmic [06:18] 1.1rc2 seems to be "stable enough" and, it is still fully backwards compatible (tested) [06:19] Still a release candidate though? [06:20] does anyone know if i can find a backport of libopenbabel 2.2.3 for jaunty? [06:20] google isn't returning anything useful [06:21] Well, have you tried jaunty backports? [06:22] it didn't appear in http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-backports/allpackages [06:22] Okay. You know it might be easy to rebuild yourself? [06:23] 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] i don't have an ubuntu pbuilder set up or anything [06:23] Ah. [06:23] mind doing me a favor? ;-) [06:23] Heh. [06:23] It is *so* past my bedtime. [06:24] fair enough [06:24] i should be able to debootstap a pbuilder [06:24] Hold on... [06:24] it's past mine too, i have class in like 7 hours [06:24] You should be able to just install build-essential, and apt-get build-dep libopenbabel... [06:25] then apt-get source libopenbabel, cd into it, and run debuild. [06:25] mmm, i just have to do it over IM [06:25] wget + dpkg would be easier, but fair enough [06:25] It's like 3 commands :) [06:25] Plus a cd. [06:25] ya, it was a libstdc++ that was the problem for karmic, so it should build [06:25] and a dget [06:26] :-P [06:26] since the apt-get source will pull the wrong one [06:26] anyway, i'll walk her through it [06:26] Pull the wrong what? [06:26] Darxus: it'll pull the jaunty version, i'm not getting her to edit her sources.list [06:26] Oh, right, hah. [06:27] Well, I'm in my jaunty box at work now... [06:27] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openbabel/openbabel_2.2.3-1.dsc [06:27] Adding deb-src's for karmic isn't dangerous :P [06:28] Good morning [06:28] having someone modify sources.list via IM is [06:28] i'd have her install openssh but i don't want to mess w/ her router via IM too [06:29] Darxus, yes it is still a release candidate, however if it gets "mainstreamed" into karamac , it wont be for long [06:30] Darxus: you also forgot devscripts (debuild) [06:31] Yeah well, the thing that looks up packages for commands you execute is awesome :) [06:31] Darxus: not installed here [06:31] Darxus, also if there any willing testers here for rc2 it will speed up its development into a final release [06:31] it's ubuntu-specific? [06:31] E: Unable to find a source package for libopenbabel [06:31] Weird. [06:31] I must be too tired for this. [06:31] libopenbabel3/libopenbabel-dev [06:32] li... yeah.... [06:32] libraries almost always have soname numbers in the package name. [06:32] $ apt-get source libopenbabel-dev [06:32] geofft: and usually also the -dev name, which suprised me [06:32] E: Unable to find a source package for openbabel [06:32] geofft: Not often in the source. [06:33] oh, and i meant 2 not 3 [06:33] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libopenbabel-dev exists [06:33] But doesn't apt-get source take a binary package name? [06:33] geofft: It takes either. [06:33] yes - the -dev is a binary [06:33] deb-src http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse [06:33] is in my sources.list. [06:34] I ran aptitude update... [06:34] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libopenbabel-dev [06:34] http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/karmic/openbabel [06:34] Bah. [06:35] What, do you just extract the tarball and run patch? [06:35] huh? [06:36] Yeah that worked. [06:36] Darxus: dpkg-source -x blah.dsc [06:37] Ah, thanks. [06:37] Although untarring and running patch seems to have worked. [06:38] astronut: Oh! You could just upload a source package to a launchpad ppa, and have it build for jaunty. [06:41] Darxus: i think signing up for launchpad and creating a ppa would be more timeconsuming that debootstrapping a pbuilder [06:41] astronut: Building. [06:42] Darxus: oh, awesome [06:42] 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] you can jus temail it a link to a dsc and it downloads/builds the package [06:44] It hasn't died yet. [06:44] man, the new thinkpad's thinklights are BRIGHT in the dark [06:44] white instead of yellow [06:45] astronut: Did you get what I said about using a launchpad ppa to do this? [06:45] 01:41 < astronut> Darxus: i think signing up for launchpad and creating a ppa would be more timeconsuming that debootstrapping a pbuilde [06:45] Heh. [06:46] I'm also not sure how you'd get the unmodified source package into the ppa.... [06:48] Still building. [06:53] I should've just built the source package and uploaded it to my ppa. [06:59] It's running tests, that should be good. [07:02] Ah dammit, I don't have my keys on that machine to build a source package to send to ppa. [07:02] Still building... [07:02] Darxus: don't worry about it [07:03] But I'm so close... [07:03] Maybe. Maybe it'll take a couple more hours. [07:04] are there any devs in here that are interested in the automated crypto installer? [07:06] Oh, looks like it's done compiling and now it's building the package. [07:08] asac: tar tvfz /srv/language-packs.ubuntu.com/karmic/sources-update/language-pack-de/data/mozilla.tar.gz <- still looks pretty empty [07:09] Running lintian.

My email is darxus@chaosreigns.com, and I'll check logs. [07:12] I'm going to bed. [07:15] thanks [07:21] Darxus: looks like it was good [07:45] ArneGoetje, asac: why is there a updated-packages in langpack-o-matic from last night? we just uploaded langpacks yesterday with a fresh base export?

[08:09] i'd upload it myself, but i've no idea how to do a new release with it :) [08:09] good morning [08:09] superm1: thanks, I have not forgoten :) I will upload it today [08:09] hey dholbach [08:10] hi mvo [08:12] mvo, how do we setup a proxy for aptd, apt.conf.d ? [08:12] tks tks, no manpage for aptd :P [08:12] joaopinto: yes, but I'm fixing this right now [08:13] joaopinto: contributions welcome ,) [08:13] I hate manpages sorry :| [08:13] I mean, writting them [08:13] joaopinto: the frontend will just tell the gconf settings to aptd [08:13] joaopinto: should be fixed today [08:18] pitti: mozilla translations are empty. and the current run still fails. asac needs to check his scripts again [08:18] oh, I see [08:23] soren: CD spinned -- current still points to the previous one though. Any manual interaction needed ? [08:23] ttx: Not that I know of, but I'm still rather new to this. [08:24] pitti: ^ ? [08:24] it should be updated automatically [08:24] ok, I guess it will happen[tm] [08:24] current -> 20091009 [08:24] it is current, at least on cdimge [08:24] not from here [08:25] ttx: Where? [08:25] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ -> 20091008 [08:25] hm, seems cdimage.u.c. is either still syncing, or broken [08:25] Odd. [08:25] ttx: right, I just checked on antimony (master image) [08:25] and now it's ok [08:25] it just synced. [08:25] dholbach, do you if there is supposed to be a motu meeting now? [08:26] ttx: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ still shows me yesterday's images. [08:26] hmm me too [08:26] Meh, it'll probably sort itself out shortly. [08:26] * ttx wonders if he didn't hit momnetarily the wrong link [08:26] yes [08:27] robert_ancell: yes, I'm sorry - I'll chase people up [08:27] dholbach, thanks [08:28] 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] davmor2: we still need to update them to reflect the latest bundling for UEC images delivery [08:29] davmor2: next week should be alright... and the tests on the tracker should be aligned by then [08:29] ttx: Cool okay. That will tie it in nicely then with RC === tkamppeter__ is now known as tkamppeter === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [09:41] I just did an upgrade of my server to karmic - dpkg segfaulted - everything segfaults now [09:41] I think I'm thoroughly screwed now [09:42] Ouch [09:43] and the server is 500km away from here [09:44] dholbach: When did dpkg segv? [09:47] StevenK: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dholbach/log [09:51] ArneGoetje: i looked last night. and it was a permission problem [09:51] fixed it already [09:51] at least from what i can tell [09:52] dholbach: Yeah, that's pretty bad. :-( [09:57] dholbach: What kind of hardware is that? [09:59] soren: it's a vserver, i386 running on it [09:59] 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. [10:00] dholbach: vserver? As in http://linux-vserver.org/ ? [10:00] soren: yes, I think [10:00] dholbach: Wow. I haven't heard of anyone actually using that before :) [10:01] dholbach: Who offers these? [10:01] ion: I got a similar report some days ago, jaunty->karmic and a crash early from dpkg [10:01] soren: net-lab.net [10:04] I really hope dholbach manages to get the crash file from the dpkg segfault (and that there is one) [10:22] soren: dholbach: I'm using vserver with hardy w/o problems so far. [10:22] dholbach: what kernel is your vserver running on? [10:22] 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) [10:23] siretart`: 2.6.29.4-vserver2.3.0.36.14-demou-nfct-100hz-nopre-something [10:23] s/demou/domu [10:24] hm. at least hardy works with the stock debian vserver kernel. [10:24] hardy worked, jaunty worked too and I'm that once libc works again, karmic will work too :) [10:24] ...I'm sure... [10:26] then it would be very interesting to know what kernel requirements karmic's libc has [10:26] why do you think it's a kernel problem? [10:29] 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] mvo: the other dpkg crash - where did that happen? [10:29] 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?

[12:15] Keybuk: how to detect if the the current system has upstart? really want to fix NetworkManager upstream build system to do the right thing [12:22] asac: I'm not sure there is a way ;) [12:22] init --version | grep Upstart? :) [12:22] but that won't work on our buildds, for example [12:28] 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 [12:29] I wouldn't worry about doing this "upstream" just yet === markus__ is now known as thekorn_ [12:29] e.g. Fedora have an older Upstart than us, so they wouldn't be able to use it [12:29] Keybuk: well. problem is that i run backports which are now broken ;) [12:30] really, can't you just use the older dh_installinit on the older versions? [12:32] asac: should bug 429835 be fixed by your recent xpi langpack fixes? [12:32] Launchpad bug 429835 in langpack-o-matic "[MASTER] chrome error when viewing untrusted https site using firefox with non en-US locale on karmic" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/429835 [12:32] pitti: ack [12:32] \o/ [12:33] pitti: its the po2xpi processor that has a bug. those whitelisted dont have it and the rest is produced from .xpis [12:33] but i have a fix for po2xpi ... so devmode will be fine in lucid right from start [12:34] 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? [12:35] Keybuk: do you know about debian plans wrt upstart? [12:35] asac: no idea [12:35] Debian "plan" to adopt it [12:35] but only if the Debian maintainer (mbiebl) makes a bunch of changes the Debian sysvinit maintainer wants [12:35] and assumedly only if someone from the freebsd side ports it [12:36] 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] * Keybuk certainly won't be holding his breath ;) [12:37] on packaging level would be good enough i think ... dont need to be a real upstream solution [12:37] thx === bdefreese2 is now known as bddebian [13:21] Oct 9 05:04:22 rover3 gnome-session[4322]: devkit-power-gobject-WARNING: unhandled property 'RecallUrl' <-- I suspect logcheck needs some karmic-love [13:21] asac: yes, works [13:22] Reinstalling deleted mandatory conffile color.cfg [13:22] cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/texlive-base/color.cfg': No such file or directory [13:22] sigh [13:24] oh. sigh. [13:26] 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? [13:27] frafu: #ubuntu-translations might have your question reach people more familiar with the process [13:28] bug 447141 [13:28] Launchpad bug 447141 in policykit-1-gnome "Karmic live session: User is asked for a password when trying to mount an external volume although this password is empty" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/447141 [13:28] james_w: thanks; I am going to #ubuntu-translations [13:28] should we ship a casper script to allow everything without password on the live cd? [13:29] james_w: we already try to, but it tends to get out of date [13:29] ah [13:29] in which package does that live [13:29] 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] see e.g. 44pk_allow_ubuntu [13:29] james_w: casper itself, scripts/casper-bottom/ [13:29] what es/pt/zh ... [13:29] if we want *everything* then it is easier with polkit-1 [13:29] thanks cjwatson [13:30] I suspect that pk_allow_ubuntu needs to be updated for polkit-1 [13:30] yes, I can look at that [13:30] asac: those aren't valid values for LANG on their own ... [13:31] true [13:31] but its good to test the default anyway [13:32] 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] asac: in that case, just es. [13:32] oh ;) [13:32] hehe [13:33] james_w: #ubuntu-translations gets created when I try to join it. Are you sure about the name? [13:33] ArneGoetje: just almost got me. i think the es is just a hook still [13:33] frafu: #ubuntu-translators, sorry [13:33] ArneGoetje: physically we ship es-ES es-AR etc. and have a hook that maps es to es-ES [13:33] asac: the default fallback is: strip off the country code [13:34] asac: except for special cases, like zh_* [13:34] ArneGoetje: yes. but we use upstream xpis [13:34] asac: in the case where we have upstream xpis, those get used, of course [13:35] so we definitly have a hook in the po2xpi processort to propery hook up the default [13:35] james_w: thanks again [13:35] asac: ? [13:35] ArneGoetje: i am trying to tell you that the fallback for es could be wrong ;) ... so we should verify that [13:36] asac: in which ase would it be wrong? [13:39] asac: ah, ok, I see what you mean... [13:40] asac: because we ship es-ES.xpi and not es.xpi... so the fallback should be es_ES:es [13:41] asac: good point. I guess we need to specify this for all cases where the upstream xpis have coutry codes... [13:43] ArneGoetje: yep. so the po2xpi appends a magic mapping to the install.rdf of whatever we have configured to be the default [13:43] ArneGoetje: you can just check in the install.rdf if there are locale es ... mappings below the es-ES ones [13:44] asac: oh, I see [13:50] ArneGoetje: right. so you can check all that have multiple country codes. if you want some default to be changes just let me know [13:57] asac: ok === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew [14:10] asac: I don't see any fallback langcode in the install.rdf files [14:11] ArneGoetje: sorry. my mistake ... chrome.manifest [14:11] asac: ok [14:13] asac: also, there are no fallbacks set [14:14] asac: do we need fallbacks in them? Aren't the upstream XPIs supposed to be complete? [14:15] no they are not. upstream uses random fallback ... but they are not really into shipping multi lang setups [14:15] so its not a problem for them [14:15] ArneGoetje: where is the mozilla.tar.gz? [14:15] i cannot find it in sources-base [14:16] asac: sources-update [14:16] slangasek, MD5SUMS file has empty size in 20091009 [14:16] (adn others also) [14:17] ArneGoetje: there are: ./usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-es-ES@firefox-3.5.ubuntu.com/chrome.manifest [14:18] ArneGoetje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/289291/ [14:18] ArneGoetje: we dont need to do that for languages that only have one country code, because the "random" fallback automatically choosen is always right ;) [14:18] asac: es-AR and the others don't have [14:18] ArneGoetje: on the default has that. [14:19] only [14:19] asac: you confuse me [14:28] hi all [14:29] ubuntu 9.10 have python 2.x as default right? In 10.04 LTS will be python 3.x as default? [14:29] J_P, I don't think it will have 3.x, no [14:30] beuno: :-( [14:30] beuno: are you talking about 10.4? [14:31] J_P, yes. Python 3.x is a big transition, I don't think it will be done in an LTS [14:32] beuno: I think in next LTS will be great idea, because LTS will be support for 5 years.. and 5 years 2.x will be obsolete [14:33] J_P, it's only a great idea of our applications work in 3.x, which most of them don't === marjomercado is now known as marjo [14:34] beuno: but in worse situation, 3.x will be in sources to be installed via apt right.. [14:35] J_P, yes. In fact, it's already there in karmic [14:35] maybe even jaunty can't remember [14:36] beuno: yes, in jauty has python 3.0.1 [15:06] This is what I was looking for Gtk help for a few hours ago by the way: http://steveire.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/holy-grail-no-thanks-weve-already-got-one/ I figured out what I needed. === bjf-afk is now known as bjf === thekorn is now known as Guest46897 [15:23] slangasek, cjwatson: any objection against having ntfsprogs installed by default? it would allow people to change labels on NTFS partitions through the GUI [15:23] (I'd add it as a recommends to devicekit-disks [15:24] mvo, I think it would make sense to have an option on software-center to clear the apt cache, I don't think there is a gui to achieve it right now === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn [15:26] pitti: I don't mind, if we have the space and if ntfs-3g is still the default for mount (should be) [15:27] hum, something odd here, did an aptdcon --upgrade-system, and update-manager is still showing pending updates === yofel_ is now known as yofel [15:27] joaopinto: have you restarted update-manager since? [15:28] joaopinto: iirc aptdcon will perform only the equivalent of a apt-get upgrade (so there won't be new dependencies instaled by that) [15:28] mvo, no, but I used the "Check for updates" button [15:28] so both should have the same cache info [15:29] joaopinto: right, maybe there were just new updates on the server between installing via aptdcon and clicking check? [15:29] mvo, ah ok, its a kernel package, it maybe related to a dist-upgrade [15:30] mvo, nope, I have retried, so it must be to the upgrade process difference [15:30] so regarding the messed up upgrade (dpkg segfaulted during libc configuration, now everything segfaults, bug 444484?): I had somebody replace libc6 on the system, but everything's still segfaulting [15:30] Launchpad bug 444484 in dpkg "dpkg crashed upgrading libc6" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/444484 [15:30] any idea what I could test or get replaced?

[15:32] robbiew: shouldn't think so [15:32] it's like 300K [15:33] cool...could you do that? Not that urgent, but would like it in for Karmic [15:33] actually, not even that, because usb-storage.ko is the biggest [15:33] is there an associated bug#?

[15:47] 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] the only freeness difference I know of is over gfdl invariant sections [15:47] cjwatson, i cant imagine a general case to actually "detect" it [15:47] directhex: I think Ubuntu took the free CC 2.5 licenses but Debian only considers > 3.0 free I believe [15:47] ogra: well, what's the condition in the installer? "installing to other partitions on the installation medium"? [15:48] LaserJock, right, okay [15:48] 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 [15:49] cjwatson, this is done by flash-kernel-installer.postins which could set some kind of marker that could be read by usplash [15:49] *postinst [15:50] ogra: s/usplash/casper/ actually [15:50] yah [15:50] *yeah even [15:51] ogra: hmm, partman knows what the installation medium is though [15:51] right, but it doesnt know the install medium is being truncated and abused as a "boot floppy" [15:52] ogra: oh, we don't create partitions on the medium? [15:52] 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] nope [15:52] we dont touch the mediums partition table at all [15:53] ogra: ok. can you point me to the specific code in flash-kernel-installer that does this? is it the fconfig call? [15:53] babbage install: boot from SD .... install to USB disk, bootloader modifies bootloader partition on SD .... [15:54] maybe we should just make this conditional on babbage-board in casper, rather than messing about [15:54] itÄs several fis calls in combination with dd [15:55] we always act this way on Babbage, right? [15:55] currently we do [15:55] it might change once we have a driver for mtd flash devices [15:55] ok, in that case I'll just make it conditional on that for now [15:55] wont change for karmic anymore though [15:55] I just want the bug off my list really :) [15:56] 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 [15:57] so later once we use /dev/mtd0 or something and it differs from the install media then it would dtrt [15:58] ogra: I'll just hardcode it in casper for now; it can be modified later [15:58] thanks for the advice [15:58] thanks for asking, i totally had forgotten about that one [15:59] so may last minute kernel issues on my plate :/ [15:59] (and i'm at the maemo summit this weekend which doesnt help getting forward) [15:59] it's been on the foundations list for ages [16:01] cjwatson: 431248> requires further follow-up; I think I know what the race condition is, I probably need Scott's help there [16:02] hmm? [16:11] slangasek: the most obvious problem being that there's nothing that happens after rpc.* have been started ? [16:11] so if ifup is faster, it wins? [16:15] Keybuk: yes - and in fact, I think one user having this problem is doing NFS root and never brings up any network interfaces, heh [16:17] slangasek: should the NFS jobs have 'normal exit 0 1' or something? I see a certain amount of console noise from them here [16:18] rpc_pipefs idmapd gssd all complain about pre-start exiting 1 [16:19] 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 [16:20] slangasek: I've got a fix for that already :) [16:20] (the race) [16:21] 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?

[16:42] slangasek: so idmapd.conf would contain "start on local-filesystems and mount TYPE=nfs4" [16:42] smoser: if there is information which is specific to ec2-init which you want to collect, or if there is general EC2 info you want to add, I'm happy to help out [16:42] smoser: did it work?

[17:12] Yeah, i’ve been ignoring it.

[17:36] robbiew: yes, you should [17:36] :/ [17:36] sounds like a definite usplash bug [17:36] I'll try to arrange to trigger it here and debug [17:43] anyone had any problems with the dailies lately? [17:43] im going to go ahead with a clean install [17:46] wrong chan [17:46] :P [17:57] Keybuk: so is it mountall that emits 'mount'? [17:59] slangasek: yes [18:02] cjwatson: fyi - that filesystem failure apparently occurred in the middle of a dist-upgrade...so it could have been a fluke thing. [18:03] Keybuk: in which case, to support noauto mounts, I think what we really want is start on local-filesystems *or* mount TYPE=nfs4, no? [18:14] 5. enter root pass and watch a CRAP [18:14] Bug reports ♥ [18:15] bryce: was the live CD portion of BulletProofX ever implemented? [18:15] evand, nope [18:16] Is there a technical reason for this, or has it been a matter of insufficient time? [18:17] Do you know offhand if there's a bug number for it somewhere? [18:22] evand, mostly it is just lack of time, however I think the recent gdm2 rewrite may have broken it entirely (haven't had a chance to check) [18:23] evand, I don't anyone filed one on the feature, but it belongs to the 'xorg' package [18:24] any known problems with the today's daily cd? [18:24] i booted up the disc, into the install menu, then it complained about it couldn't mount my cdrom [18:24] billybigrigger: Sure. Look at ll the open bugs in Launchpad [18:24] billybigrigger: Help for Karmic is in #ubuntu+1 [18:25] slangasek: I'm a little confused by your changes on Bug 419839. I know, for example, for Quassel that there isn't a fix committed. I don't know if there is actually anything that needs doing. [18:25] Launchpad bug 419839 in kdepim "Ensure proper usage of icons in the messaging menu" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/419839 [18:27] bryce: thanks for the pointers, I've moved bug 433951 over to xorg. [18:27] Launchpad bug 433951 in xorg "Ubuntu Installer Exits When Monitor Cannot Be Identified" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/433951 [18:27] 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 [18:29] dtchen: I'm slightly confused. Exactly what happens when you try to select an ISO? [18:30] dtchen: can you confirm if that happens for the usb-creator-kde too? or just the gtk? (I expect both....) [18:30] :) [18:30] rgreening: it occurs for both frontends. [18:30] 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. [18:31] 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] LaserJock: Most of the seed type bugs seem to get filed against *-meta. [18:32] 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] dtchen: I'm just not seeing how the DVD has any bearing on usb-creator. [18:32] ScottK: I noticed that, even when they aren't for packages that are built from -meta [18:34] 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] evand: the latter. selecting the desired unr iso appears to do nothing. [18:35] dtchen: can you file a bug please and attach ~/.usbcreator.log [18:35] I'm assuming this is on Karmic? [18:35] evand: sure, will do that tonight. yes, and also reproducible in trunk [18:35] dtchen: much appreciated [18:40] ScottK: the only thing I changed on 419839 was to target it to karmic because it was already on the desktop team's report [18:40] slangasek: OK. Thanks. [18:50] if there are two process connected with stdin/stdout pipes [18:50] so the parent gives instructions to the child on its stdin [18:50] and the parent writes without and explicit flush [18:52] while the child is doing an fgets on its stdin [18:52] is that going to cause issues? [18:52] like say, deadlock 75% of the time (fingers crossed) [18:52] well, 75% of the time for some people, and apparently never for most [18:53] writes without explicit flush, then waits for the child to take an action? [18:53] yeah [18:53] yep [18:53] the parent does: [18:53] write (session->child_stdin, response, response_len); [18:53] if (add_newline) [18:53] write (session->child_stdin, newline, 1); [18:54] to pass the password down to the child, which is in the middle of a pam_authenticate session [18:54] you probably want an unbuffered fd there, no? [18:54] the parent then expects the child to finish the session [18:54] ah, let me find if it is doing that [18:55] 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] (a) the write is not guaranteed to write everything in one go [18:55] (b) fgets may not get the whole line in one go [18:56] the child is: [18:56] if (fgets (buf, sizeof buf, stdin) == NULL) [18:56] goto error; [18:57] cjwatson: fgets should only give a short read if the buffer is too small? [18:57] 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 === jsalisbury_ is now known as jsalisbury [18:58] the return of write is the number of bytes written? [18:58] yes [18:58] so we need that loop which handles EAGAIN as well [18:58] I'll stick this in a PPA and ask the reporter to test [18:58] it certainly smells fishy [18:58] thanks for your help [18:58] slangasek: if there aren't enough bytes to read right now, it'll stop [18:59] so I tend to err on the side of paranoia when fgets'ing from pipes [18:59] cjwatson: fgets? that's not what the manpage says (and not how I remember it's supposed to work) [18:59] unless by "stop" you mean "block" :) [19:00] the man page says that it stops on EOF [19:00] how can you tell that fgets hasn't? [19:00] look for \n? [19:00] what is EOF on a pipe but read-returned-0? [19:00] indeed that's the *definition* of EOF [19:00] hey slangasek [19:00] just saw your g-s-d bug [19:00] cjwatson: ah, hmm [19:01] GDB probably can't find the gdk_x_error symbol, because the GDK stuff hasn't been loaded yet [19:01] (it's in a module that loads after it starts) [19:01] chrisccoulson: this is the case even if I attach to a running process [19:01] hmmm:/ [19:01] chrisccoulson: oh; but this time, it worked [19:02] excellent:) [19:02] apparently it wasn't long enough after startup before [19:02] ok, let me go break it [19:02] i was going to ask if you could edit the desktop file and add the --sync option, so apport gets it [19:02] but it doesn't matter now if its working [19:02] what's the flush() call to go with write()? [19:03] well shit, that's no good [19:03] I broke X instead [19:03] in what way? [19:04] 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 [19:05] chrisccoulson: X segfaulted [19:05] hmm, that's not good [19:05] if it had just hung, I could've killed it from vt1 :) [19:06] (killed gdb, that is) [19:06] 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 [19:07] and then apport normally catches a good trace [19:07] anyway, dinner time. bbl [19:08] chrisccoulson: thanks for the hints [19:09] bryce: hmm, and apport says nothing about this X segfault === beuno-lunch is now known as beuno === arand_ is now known as arand [19:18] what kind of thing restarts couchdb all the time?
