| ScottK | slangasek: I saw your bugmail on emacs23. Seems at least slightly impolite. | 03:22 |
| slangasek | ScottK: yes, I'm at least slightly annoyed that no one took responsibility for checking the set of packages emacs23 was generating, and we now have to do stupid version tricks to get emacs installable again | 03:46 |
| ScottK | I can imagine. | 03:46 |
| LaserJock | was it assumed that emacs23 was going into Main and taking over for emacs22? | 03:49 |

| ScottK | slangasek: If you didn't fix emacs23 already, I'll take it. | 04:20 |
| vigo | Hello, I am subscribed to this letter/email and wanted to know if I erred in one of the posts? | 04:45 |
| slangasek | ScottK: hadn't gotten to it yet - feel free (and thanks) | 04:45 |
| ScottK | OK. Thanks. | 04:45 |
| vigo | I did suggest a Debian like install, where the user can choose the applications that they want at this time, MySQL, or not, Browser and so on, I have installed a few systems and I rather like the option to choose what goes in, after all, packages can be added after the initial install, so that makes sense to me? | 04:49 |
| RAOF | vigo: General consesus has been that the (livecd) installer is the wrong time to choose applications. For most users it's presenting a choice without any of the information needed for them to make that choice. | 04:52 |
| vigo | RAOF: Thank you. | 04:52 |
| RAOF | As you say, it's simple to install & remove software after the install; this allows for experimentation, while also having everything just work out of the box. | 04:52 |
| vigo | That does make sense. | 04:55 |
| vigo | It also helps the learning part of it. | 04:56 |
| RAOF | I forget if the alternate installer lets you choose tasks. It's been some time since I actually installed :) | 04:58 |
| vigo | RAOF: Ubuntu does not really give choices like that. It is Language, Name, Partition, GO! | 04:59 |
| vigo | Wich is neat | 05:00 |
| geofft | The debian-installer does pop up a tasksel menu, just like Debian's. I netinst; I assume the alternate is the same | 05:00 |
| vigo | geofft: I will be installing Kdeb later tonight and take notes, if I see anything of note, I will mention it, after that install I will be putting the backup of this dev on to test that. | 05:05 |

| ScottK | crypt-0: Tossing bug links into the channel less than once an hour is rude and unlikely to improve your chances of getting a fix. | 05:07 |
| crypt-0 | ScottK, sorry, no one even acknowledged it | 05:08 |
| crypt-0 | i hope karmac doesnt plan on using SHA1 to hash its password, when SHA2 and whirlpool are available | 05:09 |
| ScottK | crypt-0: Odds are the people most likely to do something about it get bugmail for the package. It's late a night virtually everywhere Ubuntu devs work, so not getting a response on IRC shouldn't be much of a suprise. | 05:09 |
| RAOF | It's only been 9 hours since you filed the bug. What sort of response were you expecting? I'd guess that many of the people who actually handle that sort of core package are still asleep in Europe. | 05:09 |
| crypt-0 | is karmac beta out now? | 05:10 |
| ScottK | Yes | 05:10 |
| crypt-0 | is it tested on crypted systems? | 05:10 |
| RAOF | Some people do, yes. | 05:11 |
| crypt-0 | mabye ill try it | 05:11 |
| crypt-0 | thought it want supposed to go beta for a week or so | 05:12 |
| crypt-0 | is there somewhere where i can take a hack at the automated crypto installer? | 05:12 |
| crypt-0 | id like to make one where you can choose the hash, cipher, and cipher mode | 05:13 |
| RAOF | I'm not sure what, precisely, you mean by "hack" in that context. "apt-get source cryptsetup" will get you the source + packaging for cryptsetup. | 05:13 |
| crypt-0 | im looking for the gui part in the alternate CD | 05:14 |
| crypt-0 | some sort of ncurses interface? | 05:14 |
| RAOF | That'd be debian-installer. | 05:14 |
| crypt-0 | ok ill take a look and see if i can make it do what i want it to be able to, i can alread do whatever, with manual cryptsetup, or manual dm crypt etc. , this so the Joe PC user can Choose what to use | 05:16 |
| crypt-0 | i just find the defaults insecure, but then again what defaults aren't? However, when it comes to crypto, the defaults inst something i believe you should use | 05:17 |
| RAOF | That's not an attitude we'd share around here; the defaults should be the right thing for as many people as possible. With crypto, that's even more important because naieve fiddling with crypto almost always results in worse security. | 05:18 |
| crypt-0 | true | 05:21 |
| crypt-0 | but the defualts should be the 3 AES finalasts, Whirlpool, or SHA2 | 05:22 |
| crypt-0 | essiv-cbc or xts-benbi | 05:22 |
| crypt-0 | any combination of that can not be insecure | 05:22 |
| geofft | As a user, I have no idea what any of those are, other than a vague idea about SHA2. Is there a single suitable default? | 05:23 |
| crypt-0 | well there have been recent attacks on AES | 05:26 |
| crypt-0 | basically , SHA1 is broken, which is how your password is hashed by default | 05:26 |
| dtchen | arguably once someone has access to the disk, you're up a creek anyhow | 05:27 |
| crypt-0 | password hash :sha256 cypher mode twofish-cbc-essiv:sha256 | 05:27 |
| geofft | yeah, I tend to treat /etc/shadow as if it contained a crypted pw | 05:27 |
| crypt-0 | dtchen, yeah, but its better encrypted then not | 05:28 |
| crypt-0 | dtchen, in my bug report i describe a new feature in cryptsetup | 05:29 |
| crypt-0 | that wipes the key from ram on suspend/ sleep | 05:29 |

| cjwatson | oh, it's not permanent? when you switch back to vt1, does that work ok? | 10:18 |
| joaopinto | it is permanent, but it also happens during boot, for a second, before gdm starts | 10:18 |

| joaopinto | skar, if you need to learn about packaging, #ubuntu-motu is probably a better place | 10:21 |

| lool | Laibsch: Couldn't we revisit that next cycle? | 13:34 |
| lool | Laibsch: Does it cause serious issues in karmic? | 13:34 |
| Laibsch | I don't think so | 13:34 |
| Laibsch | It's about whether or not scim-anthy will get a bugfix that is in Debian or continue to have a delta explicitly to drop the fix | 13:35 |
| lool | Laibsch: If you need to merge a new scim-anthy to fix serious bugs, that's still ok at this time; but I wouldn't focus on dropping delta with Debian at this point of the cycle, we usually focus on that at the beginning of the ccyle | 13:37 |

| Laibsch | and we could otherwise sync scim-anthy from Debian (I made sure we can) | 13:39 |
| Laibsch | if kasumi was in main (or scim-anthy wasn't) | 13:39 |
| lool | I am not sure I can judge of the severity of this bug; I'd prefer if Arne would comment | 13:39 |
| Laibsch | it's not serious | 13:41 |
| Laibsch | scim-anthy is in main | 13:41 |
| Laibsch | there is a knob to pull up a user dictionary | 13:41 |
| Laibsch | that calls the kasumi program | 13:41 |
| Laibsch | currently kasumi is not installed by default, the fix is to recommend it | 13:42 |

| Laibsch | debian does the right thing, ubuntu can't until kasumi is in main | 13:43 |

| lool | Laibsch: I understood that part of the issue, I don't understand how much of a big deal it is to have this feature slightly broken | 13:47 |
| lool | Laibsch: The issues are relatively easy to fix though; I guess you could easily get a hold on these | 13:48 |
| Laibsch | It's obviously an easy fix: "sudo aptitude install kasumi" | 13:48 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, I have found a big problem in CUPS 1.4.1: It seems that for broadcasts it always uses the host name and never tyhe IP of the server (in 1.3.x it used the IP). This requires that host names in networks are always well-defined and this is not the case in many small networks or for temporarily connected machines. | 16:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: hm, is that configurable? | 16:25 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, there is a ServerName entry in cupsd.conf where one can set this, by default this is not set. | 16:28 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have tried "cupsctl ServerName=192.168.2.105" now and got a correct entry in cupsd.conf, but the client still gets "ipp://noname:631/printers/b" in lpstat -v (for the printer b on the server). | 16:30 |

| sistpoty|work | seb128: so config.sub/.guess don't match the current version? | 16:36 |
| james_w | ebroder: it needs a sponsor check | 16:36 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, well, why? I would have went the other way, make sure autotools are not run at build time | 16:36 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, but why is there any need to run autotools at all there? | 16:36 |
| sistpoty|work | seb128: iirc they aren't, but rather run and in the patch | 16:36 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, configure && make && make install ought to work from the tarball | 16:37 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, does your wife have Karmic (or CUPS 1.4.x) on her box? | 16:37 |
| seb128 | why do you want to run autotools in the diff or at build time | 16:37 |
| sistpoty|work | seb128: due to the version mismatch of autoconf | 16:38 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, what mismatch? | 16:38 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, in addition in your network host names seem to be well defined, but this is not assured in all networks. | 16:38 |

| seb128 | sistpoty|work, but why are autotools run in the first place during the build? | 16:38 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, not run any autotools at all since we don't change any build file there | 16:39 |
| Keybuk | do you think it would be possible to create a hook that includes the reporter's exact location, address, GPS info, etc. and usual times when they are there | 16:39 |
| Keybuk | that way the next time someone reports a "last mount time in future" bug, I can go round their house with a shotgun? :p | 16:39 |
| sistpoty|work | seb128: isn't there a configure script that gets run? (/me looks at pygobject again) | 16:39 |
| seb128 | Keybuk, I though that bug was fixed? | 16:39 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, configure && make yes, configure != autotools | 16:40 |
| Keybuk | seb128: the bug is fixed, the fact that users are idiots is not fixed | 16:40 |
| liw | Keybuk, you can get the location from LP for many people... | 16:41 |
| * Keybuk has submitted http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/15847 | 16:41 | |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, the fix would probably be to comment 03_maintainer_mode.patch from the serie | 16:41 |
| Keybuk | which will probably be refused by upstream ;) | 16:41 |
| Keybuk | . o O { maybe I just need Ted Tso's location :p } | 16:41 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, that's useful only in the case you have an autotools update change | 16:41 |
| sistpoty|work | seb128: would that build then? the patch-stamp target copies config.sub/.guess from autotools-dev, so these mismatch the other generated files in the build | 16:42 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, why a config.sub and config.guess update trigger an autotools run? | 16:43 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, and if that's the case why do we need to update those to start? | 16:43 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, we don't have an autotools patch in every package doing a config.guess update | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | seb128: can't see any reason they should | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | config.guess is used by configure *invocation* not by autoconf | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | just grepped through automake, they certainly shouldn't | 16:46 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, I guess the issue there is the maintainer mode change updating configure.ac and autotools trying to be clever | 16:46 |
| seb128 | sistpoty|work, the fix I guess would be to just comment the unrequired configure.ac from the series | 16:47 |
| sistpoty|work | seb128: hm... that would make sense, indeed | 16:47 |

| ebroder | cjwatson: I looked at python-apt, but I can't figure out a way to point it at an arbitrary repository, as opposed to just examining what's in my sources.list | 16:49 |
| Keybuk | seb128: why would it update configure.ac ? | 16:50 |
| Keybuk | ironic if trying to turn off maintainer mode resulted in one last rebuild just for luck <g> | 16:50 |
| seb128 | Keybuk, there is a patch to set the maintainer mode which is useful sometimes | 16:50 |
| Keybuk | just leave it on - it doesn't hurt | 16:50 |
| seb128 | Keybuk, no, it's setting it on so when we have versions with autoreconf patches things are not run on buildds again | 16:51 |
| Keybuk | adding autoconf, automake, libtool to build-depends is easier than having to keep an autoreconf patch up to date ;) | 16:51 |
| Keybuk | we could even have an "autoreconf" meta package that depended on the current versions :) | 16:51 |
| seb128 | running those at build time sucks | 16:52 |
| seb128 | it takes build time and create often issues when different versions are used | 16:52 |
| seb128 | working sources start ftbfsing which lead to extra work | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | ebroder: you can configure it in much the same way you configure other apt tools, by setting options | 16:59 |

| lfaraone | Is there a reason that one can no longer "remember this authorization" for administrative actions in Karmic? (ex: setting CPU scaling via the applet) | 18:31 |
| jcole | happy monday | 18:32 |
| lfaraone | jcole: you too. | 18:32 |
| jcole | what would it take to get evolution-mapi functional in ubuntu karmic? if someone would tell me, i'll host a functional version internally | 18:32 |
| jcole | or even a ppa | 18:32 |
| jcole | this is bugs 446626 435881 etc. | 18:34 |

| jcole | the evo guys claim it works in suse | 18:35 |
| Darxus | Ignore what I said about X. I don't know why I didn't find the mouse. The default background should *not* be all black. | 18:36 |
| jcole | if i was to alien up the suse evolution-mapi rpms to .debs, can those be posted to a ppa? or, are ppa for source only? | 18:38 |
| chrisccoulson | jcole - no, that won't work | 18:40 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: any suggestions? | 18:42 |
| chrisccoulson | it needs properly packaging as a source package | 18:42 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: is there any tools for converting suse source packages to debian/ubuntu | 18:44 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm not familiar with packaging in suse at all | 18:44 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: i know a few guys here running evolution-mapi on suse.. i'll ask them about converting source packages... | 18:48 |
| chrisccoulson | You would need to make a Debian package from scratch if there isn't one already | 18:49 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: there is one already | 18:49 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: it just doesnt work | 18:49 |

| james_w | mvo: update-notifier has started (in karmic) shipping /var/crash, with standard permissions, which prevents apps running as a non-root user from reporting crashes | 18:53 |
| james_w | mvo: I guess this isn't intentional? | 18:53 |

| mvo | james_w: no, not intentional (and odd) | 18:55 |
| mvo | james_w: I can't remember changing that :/ is there a open bug about this? | 18:56 |
| james_w | mvo: the fix is probably easy, but I guess we should do something to fix it for current users? | 18:56 |
| james_w | mvo: I'm just looking for one now | 18:56 |
| james_w | I just discovered this now with the help of ahasenack | 18:56 |
| fagan | mvo: im just looking into Bug #438870 could you point me to the part of the software store that deals with installing the software | 18:58 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: i tried to install a newer version of evolution-mapi from debian unstable... but its compiled against a newer evolution so dependency fail | 18:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 438870 in software-center "Downloads should start when the previous one ends" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/438870 | 18:58 |
| mvo | fagan: it does probably need support from aptdaemon, my idea was to start a transaction with --download-only | 18:59 |
| fagan | mvo: that would work | 19:00 |
| mvo | fagan: there is a apt config option that can be set if that is all that is required, it may run into issues with multiple locks, in this case its probably best to just create private download dirs and move them into place when all is finished | 19:00 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: thre is also a gnome bug for this at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595810 ... but, why does it work in suse? does this bug only apply to the version in karmic? | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Gnome bug 595810 in Mail "evolution crashed while doing initial message fetching" [Critical,New] | 19:00 |
| mvo | fagan: so the transaction would be split into (download, install) and download could be done in parallel | 19:01 |
| fagan | mvo: yep that would be a lot quicker than the current system too | 19:01 |
| * wolfe yawns | 19:01 | |
| chrisccoulson | jcole - i'm sorry, but i've no idea why that would be the case. evolution-mapi isn't a package i have any particular interest in, so i don't know much about it ;) | 19:02 |
| wolfe | :| | 19:03 |
| james_w | mvo: can't find a bug on either update-notifier or apport, so I'll file one and we can discuss how to do the fixup at the same time as the fix? | 19:03 |
| mvo | fagan: ideally we would make the daemon so clever that it automatically does that (transparent to the frontend) | 19:03 |
| mvo | james_w: yes, sounds good to me | 19:03 |
| james_w | "Package update-notifier-common does not exist" | 19:04 |
| james_w | oh, typo | 19:04 |
| fagan | mvo: That would be the ideal solution and it could be done by lucid | 19:06 |
| mvo | fagan: great, I will not have time to look into it myself before karmic-final, but I'm happy to help and give feedback :) | 19:07 |

| mvo | james_w: I'm not sure, but it happens on a pbuilder too | 19:18 |
| james_w | probably not then | 19:18 |
| jcole | chrisccoulson: im thinking its not actually evolution-mapi itself (since it just creates the account)... but suspecting the underlying libmapi libraries and/or the evolution email rendering engine | 19:18 |

| lucas_ | for instance /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/rbgtk.h has some includes of files that are not provided | 21:14 |
| spaetz | lucas, dpk -S file ??? | 21:15 |
| spaetz | dpkg | 21:15 |
| wamty | ideas? | 21:15 |
| lucas_ | ok so the culprit is ruby-gnome2-dev | 21:16 |
| kklimonda | wamty, you would have more luck on #ubuntu channel probably. | 21:16 |
| wamty | i did | 21:16 |
| wamty | noone answered there | 21:16 |
| lucas_ | spaetz, I ve seen that it was corrected in debian ? should I report a bug on launchpad ? | 21:17 |
| spaetz | no clue, i'm no ubuntu dev | 21:18 |
| spaetz | but reporting a bug can never hurt | 21:18 |
| lucas_ | ok because it seems to prevent me from building a gnome/ruby app | 21:19 |
| wamty | so? | 21:19 |
| kklimonda | lucas, yes, you should report that (make sure that it wasn't reported before) | 21:19 |
| spaetz | lucas, if you report it, do point to the resolution in debian | 21:19 |
| lucas_ | kklimonda, definetly I will, but it is really unlikely that it was, since at that stage such things should have come up. I believe the fix is available form debian packages | 21:20 |
| spaetz | bug no, etc | 21:20 |
| lucas_ | I will | 21:20 |

| lucas_ | BTW do you guys now a way to report bugs without the command ubuntu-bugs, I find myself unable to find the appropriate menu on launchpad | 21:22 |
| kklimonda | wamty, you could try ubuntuforums.org, I think that you have the best chance of getting a good answer there (#ubuntu channel is crowded and this one is for development discussion) | 21:22 |

| jdong | AH BROKE THIS TIME! | 21:45 |
| jdong | ok I've got an authenticate dialog without a textbox | 21:45 |
| jdong | what would you like me to do? | 21:45 |
| james_w | can you "strace -p $(/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1)" | 21:45 |
| james_w | oh, with -f as well | 21:45 |
| james_w | doing that before triggering it would be good | 21:45 |
| james_w | you know you can drop priveledges with the "keys" icon in the notification area? | 21:46 |
| jdong | correct | 21:46 |
| james_w | cool | 21:46 |
| james_w | you'll want to check that your password isn't in the strace output before you show us | 21:46 |
| chrisccoulson | i need to learn how the new policykit works:) | 21:47 |
| james_w | that process runs in your session all the time | 21:47 |
| james_w | it registers with polkitd when it starts as the agent for your session | 21:48 |
| james_w | when something requests auth polkitd calls it over D-Bus with the info that it needs | 21:48 |
| jdong | ok got it to happen | 21:48 |
| james_w | it then pops up and asks for the passwords | 21:48 |
| jdong | once thin that I do notice: | 21:48 |
| james_w | at the same time it runs a suid helper to talk to pam | 21:49 |
| jdong | when it works, strace just says "pid 65xx attached" | 21:49 |
| jdong | but when it doesn't work, I get multiple attached and detached messages from strace | 21:49 |
| jdong | with pid's in the high-25000 region | 21:49 |
| james_w | once you give the password it gives this to the helper | 21:49 |
| jdong | seems like it's spawning some new pid repeatedly | 21:49 |
| james_w | it auths with pam, and then calls back over D-Bus to polkitd to tell it all is well | 21:50 |
| james_w | chrisccoulson: clear? ;-) | 21:50 |
| chrisccoulson | james_w - i think so;) | 21:50 |

| james_w | if I am right you won't be able to trigger the lack of the password to start with any more | 22:29 |
| james_w | but it will always fail | 22:30 |
