[02:25] pitti, using http://pastebin.com/f95b5c26 and this apport package hook http://pastebin.com/f350d087e I was still redirected into the normal source package area rather than the mythbuntu product on launchpad https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/449181 [02:25] Error: This bug is private [02:25] it let me file a bug surprisingly even though it's not a genuine source package though [03:22] slangasek: I saw your bugmail on emacs23. Seems at least slightly impolite. [03:46] 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] I can imagine. [03:49] was it assumed that emacs23 was going into Main and taking over for emacs22? [03:49] LaserJock: No. [03:49] no, it was explicitly approved as a universe-only FFe [03:49] Several of us didn't catch it.

[04:45] Hello, I am subscribed to this letter/email and wanted to know if I erred in one of the posts? [04:45] ScottK: hadn't gotten to it yet - feel free (and thanks) [04:45] OK. Thanks. [04:49] 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? [04:52] 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] RAOF: Thank you. [04:52] 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. [04:55] That does make sense. [04:56] It also helps the learning part of it. [04:58] I forget if the alternate installer lets you choose tasks. It's been some time since I actually installed :) [04:59] RAOF: Ubuntu does not really give choices like that. It is Language, Name, Partition, GO! [05:00] Wich is neat [05:00] The debian-installer does pop up a tasksel menu, just like Debian's. I netinst; I assume the alternate is the same [05:05] 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.

[05:08] ScottK, sorry, no one even acknowledged it [05:09] i hope karmac doesnt plan on using SHA1 to hash its password, when SHA2 and whirlpool are available [05:09] 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] 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. [05:10] is karmac beta out now? [05:10] Yes [05:10] is it tested on crypted systems? [05:11] Some people do, yes. [05:11] mabye ill try it [05:12] thought it want supposed to go beta for a week or so [05:12] is there somewhere where i can take a hack at the automated crypto installer? [05:13] id like to make one where you can choose the hash, cipher, and cipher mode [05:13] 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. [05:14] im looking for the gui part in the alternate CD [05:14] some sort of ncurses interface? [05:14] That'd be debian-installer. [05:16] 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 [05:17] 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 [05:18] 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. [05:21] true [05:22] but the defualts should be the 3 AES finalasts, Whirlpool, or SHA2 [05:22] essiv-cbc or xts-benbi [05:22] any combination of that can not be insecure [05:23] 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? [05:26] well there have been recent attacks on AES [05:26] basically , SHA1 is broken, which is how your password is hashed by default [05:27] arguably once someone has access to the disk, you're up a creek anyhow [05:27] password hash :sha256 cypher mode twofish-cbc-essiv:sha256 [05:27] yeah, I tend to treat /etc/shadow as if it contained a crypted pw [05:28] dtchen, yeah, but its better encrypted then not [05:29] dtchen, in my bug report i describe a new feature in cryptsetup [05:29] that wipes the key from ram on suspend/ sleep [05:30] making cold boot less of a problem for laptop users, if your desktop gets cold-booted you have some home security issues to adress :) [05:31] it works for desktops also [05:32] <[reed]> RAOF: *cough* Debian developers *cough* [05:50] Jono, you there?

I want to point something at an apt path and be able to poke at things like what version of a given package is in a particular component [10:01] My current alternatives are parsing the output of reprepro or finding the Sources (or Sources.gz...) file and parsing that with python-debian, and those both kind of suck [10:08] hi, i'm trying to apply a patch to glibc source pkg and compile it. now i've got a glibc-2.8~20080505/ dir with some bz2 files in there. how do i unzip them and then apply my patch? === mthaddon` is now known as mthaddon [10:12] cjwatson: hm, the recent usplash change doesn't seem to send QUIT to usplash any more, so that it fades out? [10:12] mat_t just complained [10:12] it seems to just stay around until the computer powers off? [10:12] pitti: yes, that was a hack to avoid text messages showing up after usplash quits but before shutdown [10:13] pitti: if we can make it fade but not actually tear down the graphical vt, that would be better [10:13] ebroder: python-apt should be able to do that?

[10:18] it is permanent, but it also happens during boot, for a second, before gdm starts [10:19] it is permanent if I do a manual switch to a VT [10:19] I am using fglrx, not sure if that's part of the problem [10:19] it usually isn't part of the solution ;-) [10:20] usplash is meant to be torn down strictly before X starts [10:20] maybe usplash isn't managing to restore the console correctly with fglrx [10:20] that said, *that* part of the code hasn't changed recently to my knowledge [10:20] how do i unzip glibc's source deb so that i can access the individual files under "build-tree"?

[14:32] the apport retracing service is beating you! [14:35] keybuk: Any thoughts about what i posted to http://launchpad.net/bugs/432089, btw? [14:35] Launchpad bug 432089 in sreadahead "performs poorly on slow HDD" [High,Triaged] [14:35] ion: foreground isn't enough [14:36] Keybuk, lol [14:36] The bug report is about sreadahead performing poorly on a slow HDD, but my HDD is quite good for a laptop HDD and simply disabling sreadahead makes the system boot more than five seconds faster. [14:36] Keybuk, I can give you some bugs if you want ;-) [14:38] ion: how good is quite good? [14:38] seb128: I have plenty, I'm personally beating all of the QA team except pedro ;) === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [14:40] keybuk: The laptop’s quite new, the HDD has a capacity of 320 GB and the maximum throughput in bootchart reaches 54 MB/s. [14:40] ion: How do you disable sreadahead? [14:41] hunger: By commenting out the ‘start on...’ line. [14:41] Good point:-) I am not used to upstart yet:-) [14:41] ion: what's the hDD? [14:42] Keybuk: Hard Disc Drive? [14:43] keybuk: http://pastebin.com/f53cf5098 [14:43] ion: 5400RPM, 12ms seek [14:44] that fits the "slow drive" pattern [14:44] jml: ubuntu-bugs mailing list archive? [14:44] keybuk: Ah, alright. I expected the ‘slow’ to mean something slower than a typical laptop HDD. [14:45] Of course, a 5400 RPM laptop HDD *is* slow compared to a 7200 RPM desktop HDD. [14:45] no, I mean that typical laptop HDDs *are* slow [14:45] * liw thinks all hard disks are slow [14:51] james_w, I was kind of hoping for something more digested than that. [14:52] jml: bdmurray might have stats [14:52] james_w, I think that even if he does, Launchpad should track this information also. [14:56] jml: http://people.canonical.com/~brian/graphs/ but it seems to be busted right now [14:56] james_w, thanks. [14:57] 10 minutes with http://people.canonical.com/~brian/graphs/bugstats.data could get you the information in the meantime [14:59] ta [15:06] zul, mathiaz: hi! (I'm not really here) I just noticed bug #449358. The reporter's issue is clearly a dupe of 444479, however, I thought that it was odd that /usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi was confined (I thought /usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi was supposed to be a hard link and not a symlink). I'm not at all up on the akonadi packaging, but this sounds like it could be a problem [15:06] Launchpad bug 449358 in mysql-dfsg-5.1 "Warning message from apparmor about /usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/449358 [15:21] seb128: your sync of poppler from April says "don't use openjpeg it's in universe", why not get openjpeg into main?

[15:28] slangasek: any reason for that? it is needed if you want to see jpeg2000 decently [15:30] Riddell, right, I don't copy all the changelog entries when resyncing on debian but just summarize the changes [15:33] can a core-dev please give-back bacula (FTBFS fixed by recent upload of libbonoboui) [15:38] geser: done, thanks!

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. [16:25] tkamppeter: hm, is that configurable? [16:28] pitti, there is a ServerName entry in cupsd.conf where one can set this, by default this is not set. [16:30] 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). [16:31] pitti, I have even tried to restart CUPS on the server but this does not help. [16:31] dear git. how is not pushing tags by default *useful* ? [16:32] well, it's just consistent [16:32] "1. No command shall do useful things without any arguments."

[16:35] seb128: b-d on autotools-dev? [16:36] seb128: so config.sub/.guess don't match the current version? [16:36] ebroder: it needs a sponsor check [16:36] sistpoty|work, well, why? I would have went the other way, make sure autotools are not run at build time [16:36] sistpoty|work, but why is there any need to run autotools at all there? [16:36] seb128: iirc they aren't, but rather run and in the patch [16:37] sistpoty|work, configure && make && make install ought to work from the tarball [16:37] pitti, does your wife have Karmic (or CUPS 1.4.x) on her box? [16:37] why do you want to run autotools in the diff or at build time [16:38] seb128: due to the version mismatch of autoconf [16:38] sistpoty|work, what mismatch? [16:38] pitti, in addition in your network host names seem to be well defined, but this is not assured in all networks. [16:38] seb128: "aclocal.m4:16: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.63." --> build fail [16:38] seb128: what would be the better way to fix this? [16:38] pitti: I have an apport hooks question [16:38] sistpoty|work, but why are autotools run in the first place during the build? [16:39] sistpoty|work, not run any autotools at all since we don't change any build file there [16:39] 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] 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] seb128: isn't there a configure script that gets run? (/me looks at pygobject again) [16:39] Keybuk, I though that bug was fixed? [16:40] sistpoty|work, configure && make yes, configure != autotools [16:40] seb128: the bug is fixed, the fact that users are idiots is not fixed [16:41] 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] sistpoty|work, the fix would probably be to comment 03_maintainer_mode.patch from the serie [16:41] which will probably be refused by upstream ;) [16:41] . o O { maybe I just need Ted Tso's location :p } [16:41] sistpoty|work, that's useful only in the case you have an autotools update change [16:42] 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 [16:43] sistpoty|work, why a config.sub and config.guess update trigger an autotools run? [16:43] sistpoty|work, and if that's the case why do we need to update those to start? [16:44] sistpoty|work, we don't have an autotools patch in every package doing a config.guess update [16:44] seb128: can't see any reason they should [16:44] config.guess is used by configure *invocation* not by autoconf [16:46] just grepped through automake, they certainly shouldn't [16:46] sistpoty|work, I guess the issue there is the maintainer mode change updating configure.ac and autotools trying to be clever [16:47] sistpoty|work, the fix I guess would be to just comment the unrequired configure.ac from the series [16:47] seb128: hm... that would make sense, indeed [16:48] <\sh> moins [16:49] 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 [16:50] seb128: why would it update configure.ac ? [16:50] ironic if trying to turn off maintainer mode resulted in one last rebuild just for luck [16:50] Keybuk, there is a patch to set the maintainer mode which is useful sometimes [16:50] just leave it on - it doesn't hurt [16:51] Keybuk, no, it's setting it on so when we have versions with autoreconf patches things are not run on buildds again [16:51] adding autoconf, automake, libtool to build-depends is easier than having to keep an autoreconf patch up to date ;) [16:51] we could even have an "autoreconf" meta package that depended on the current versions :) [16:52] running those at build time sucks [16:52] it takes build time and create often issues when different versions are used [16:53] working sources start ftbfsing which lead to extra work [16:59] ebroder: you can configure it in much the same way you configure other apt tools, by setting options [16:59] apt.conf(5) has details [16:59] you may need to write a temporary sources.list file [17:02] OMG linux-libc-dev didn't build on armel since the linux-* trees were split [17:02] We still have 2.6.31-5.24 [17:02] apw: ^^ It this known?

I believe the fix is available form debian packages [21:20] bug no, etc [21:20] I will [21:20] thanks [21:21] pitti: many thanks for looking at that ubuntu-docs issue, I'll fix it accordingly [21:22] 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] 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) [21:23] lucas, when you are redirected to the wiki page scroll down and you will see a direct link (with ?no-redirect argument) you can use [21:29] the launc hpad has been made too difficult to file bugs [21:29] now [21:33] Riddell: all except the ones sent this morning [21:42] james_w - have you experienced the hanging policykit dialog recently? [21:42] hey chrisccoulson [21:42] never have [21:42] hmmm [21:42] i haven't seen it for a while either [21:42] I'm a bit lost to be honest [21:42] i wonder if it's magically fixed now? ;) [21:42] chrisccoulson: I've seen it today [21:42] i hate not understanding why things are broken [21:42] chrisccoulson: happens when I use ENTER to confirm my password entry [21:43] the password textbox disappears [21:43] but the dialog still persists [21:43] jdong - i wish i could recreate it reliably [21:43] clicking either button is NOACTION [21:43] the one with no line to enter a passwd? got that dialog today [21:43] i might try pressing enter and see if it makes a difference [21:43] but clicking the window's X causes update-maanger to work === milli` is now known as milli [21:43] chrisccoulson: yeah clicking Authenticate the first time works 100% for me [21:43] chrisccoulson: but pressing ENTER "hangs" the dialog 100% [21:43] enter works for me [21:43] jdong: 100%? [21:43] :-/ [21:43] you're just the person we've been looking for! [21:43] james_w: well 4 of the 4 times I've tried in the past 2 days :) [21:44] in fact let me humor myself and do it right now! [21:44] jdong: would you do some debugging for us please? [21:44] sure [21:44] GRR it worked this time [21:44] lol [21:44] well ok 80% :P [21:44] it worked here too;) [21:44] so I guess I just need to complain to the right people! [21:45] AH BROKE THIS TIME! [21:45] ok I've got an authenticate dialog without a textbox [21:45] what would you like me to do? [21:45] can you "strace -p $(/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1)" [21:45] oh, with -f as well [21:45] doing that before triggering it would be good [21:46] you know you can drop priveledges with the "keys" icon in the notification area? [21:46] correct [21:46] cool [21:46] you'll want to check that your password isn't in the strace output before you show us [21:47] i need to learn how the new policykit works:) [21:47] that process runs in your session all the time [21:48] it registers with polkitd when it starts as the agent for your session [21:48] when something requests auth polkitd calls it over D-Bus with the info that it needs [21:48] ok got it to happen [21:48] it then pops up and asks for the passwords [21:48] once thin that I do notice: [21:49] at the same time it runs a suid helper to talk to pam [21:49] when it works, strace just says "pid 65xx attached" [21:49] but when it doesn't work, I get multiple attached and detached messages from strace [21:49] with pid's in the high-25000 region [21:49] once you give the password it gives this to the helper [21:49] seems like it's spawning some new pid repeatedly [21:50] it auths with pam, and then calls back over D-Bus to polkitd to tell it all is well [21:50] chrisccoulson: clear? ;-) [21:50] james_w - i think so;) [21:50] jdong: interesting, could we see the redacted trace? [21:50] http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/broken_polkit_strace.txt [21:50] james_w: this time it didn't even ask me for a password the first time... :-/ [21:50] thanks [21:50] really? [21:52] james_w: http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/broken_polkit.png === bjf-afk is now known as bjf [21:52] the dialog looked like that [21:52] and there was no key in the systray either [21:52] neither of the two buttons do anything, and I clicked them a couple times during the strace [21:52] I googled this and can't getr a straight answer. anyone else running ubuntu 9.04 server with wifi? The adapter is listed, I can ifconfig it and it's tx/rx packets, but I have no outside network access.. I explored all avenues at the command line. The *only* thing I noticed is that the listed supported encryption modes do NOT include WEP, which is what i'm using (crucify me for this later please). The onyl ubuntu network manager handled this [21:52] clicking the big X did work [21:52] FWIW, my old version was 6.06 and it worked fine.. also on the post 6.06 releases RADI croaks one of my drives.. but it works fine and is physically configured fine. Hit a brick wall there as well. [21:53] wamty: -> #ubuntu [21:53] polkit-grant-helper-pam: needs t [21:54] "...to be setuid root" I predict [21:54] does strace interfere with suid? [21:54] james_w: I don't think it does when attached to an existing process... [21:54] at least as far as I understand [21:55] well, it's going to be tracing the spawned process, so it might thee [21:55] I think I know what the race is that breaks it in this case [21:56] but I'm not sure that will be what breaks it normally [21:56] I'm gonna be out for 10m to grab dinner but will check back if I can provide any more assistance :) [21:56] thanks === dorins_ is now known as dorins [22:20] how sad, I see 10m and think 10 meters, as in radio frequency :) [22:22] how do i see the current nbs list? [22:22] directhex, http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/NBS/ [22:23] webkit, thought so [22:28] jdong: some packages put at https://edge.launchpad.net/~james-w/+archive/polkit/+packages [22:29] if you could install libpolkit-agent-1-0 from there and then kill the process you were stracing and launch it again as "strace -f -o /tmp/strace.txt /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1" that would be great [22:29] if I am right you won't be able to trigger the lack of the password to start with any more [22:30] but it will always fail [22:32] so it won't have really got us anywhere, but we might as well fix bugs as we find them [22:32] "man strace" states that if you make the strace binary suid root then you can strace suid programs correctly [22:33] would you be willing to do that while we test [22:33] if so, then please do so and re-run the above, and you should see the prompt as before [22:33] and if you can then trigger it the strace should be useful [23:03] There's no 2038 bug open?
