=== ogasawara_ is now known as ogasawara [03:26] dtchen: have you actually reproduced the behavior described in that comment on a karmic system? The commenter says he's using Debian testing, and the *only* way I see that this shutdown script would be called twice is if the user has two symlinks to it by mistake [03:26] slangasek: I haven't been able to, but others have. [03:27] dtchen: what's their explanation for why it's being called twice on shutdown? [03:27] here, I see it being called once and failing because the logic is wrong [03:27] slangasek: yes, the logic in 5 is clearly broken. I haven't actually seen anyone explain why it's being called twice. [03:28] well, ubuntu4 *and* ubuntu5. [03:29] dtchen: so if nobody can explain why they're currently seeing it called twice, I think more analysis (and a more targeted fix) is called for [03:30] slangasek: okay [03:47] slangasek: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/369498 [03:47] Launchpad bug 369498 in ia32-libs "32bits gtk and glib modules not found in ia32-libs" [Medium,In progress] [03:49] Regardless I'm starting to see other bugs due to what I'm pretty sure is just out of date ia32-libs [03:50] And there's probably security concerns for having month old libraries as well (since if any security issues were fixed in the past month they'd still be there in ia32-libs) [04:02] YokoZar: well, as I said the fltk1.1 FTBFS certainly should be fixed for release, but I don't think anyone's going to break their neck to make sure the fix lands with enough time to fix a 6-month-old ia32-libs bug afterwards [04:03] slangasek: that bug's just a bonus, the main benefit is to freshen the packages [04:03] the bug was meant as an example of the symlinks you were asking about [04:05] YokoZar: the symlinks mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/369498/comments/63 ? [04:05] Launchpad bug 369498 in ia32-libs "32bits gtk and glib modules not found in ia32-libs" [Medium,In progress] [04:06] slangasek: asac: was patching the library to make it handle them as well (I believe the patch went in a month ago), but that hasn't been able to roll into ia32-libs [05:36] Is there still a chance to get a sync ack'd for tegaki* packages? Those are not widely used I think and upstream has apparently made the second alpha release in August. 0.1 does not work well and I think it would be good if 0.2 got more exposure. [05:50] How does one prepare a debdiff for one of the meta packages? xubuntu-meta in this case? [05:50] doesn't seem to follow the standard procedure [05:53] It wouldn't, it's a based on a seed [06:08] what to do then?

[08:27] sorry if i lack a bit context ... just started my day :) [08:28] asac: it is, as ia32-libs script requires a syncing of all its component packages, and it freaks out if source and binary don't match [08:29] asac: since the package FTBFS then the source archive is newer than the binary available [08:30] YokoZar: ah ok.

[08:40] though in this case - with a potentially pending ABI bump - its probably better to keep it out of ia32 :) [08:40] asac: it's there to ensure we aren't shipping binaries that aren't built from the available source... which indeed is what would happen as soon as fltk1.1's FTBFS was fixed [08:40] slangasek, hey [08:41] * slangasek waves to seb128 [08:41] slangasek, if I sync new gtk from debian that would bypass the queue right?

[09:28] slangasek: so, the gvfs change is mostly just diff producing noise; I think that by itself is safe (will take a look at rb again) [09:28] slangasek: it just adds a new function [09:28] pitti: if it looks safe to you then, go ahead [09:39] slangasek: could bug 455114 be the root cause for bug 454362 ?

[12:22] chrisccoulson: AFAIK yes === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow [12:23] that's ok then. how much space is on the volume at the moment? [12:24] the expected behaviour is that you will get the first notification when the free space drops to 5%, and you shouldn't get anymore notifications unless the free space drops a further 1%. in this case, they should not appear more frequently than every 10 minutes anyway [12:24] and you should never get a notification for a volume that has more than 2GB free space either [12:25] chrisccoulson: 96% used; I've seen at least 4 of the notifications since my most recent login [12:25] does the volume stay mounted the whole time, or do you ever unmount it at all?

[13:08] and that after sending you have to open the outfifo, read (which will block for up to a second) ? [13:09] Keybuk: the current implementation behaves that way, yes; I didn't want INPUTCHAR to block [13:09] otherwise it'd be utterly hard to write shell scripts that use it [13:10] ok, so at least my understanding is right [13:10] Keybuk: (see man usplash_write) [13:11] right, and the code [13:11] it just doesn't tend to work :) [13:13] ioctl(TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted [13:13] oha [13:13] yeah I see that one from time to time too [13:13] Keybuk: confirmed, it blocks here and doesn't work [13:13] Keybuk: http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/test-input.sh [13:13] I don't think that code path has changed though?

[13:21] esp. the tcsetattr crud [13:22] cjwatson: the termios stuff is probably useful [13:22] but the other bit is actually badly wrong [13:22] it'd mean if you pressed escape at exactly the wrong ms, usplash would disappear but not fsck [13:23] in fact, most input characters would get eaten by that code, rather than the INPUT checking code [13:23] hm, ok [13:23] well, I hadn't committed it yet because I hadn't got it all working :) [13:23] although I'm not entirely sure I agree with your analysis [13:23] INPUT sends usplash into a totally different loop [13:24] I think you may be incorrectly assuming a sane main loop design? :) [13:24] I'm thinking of INPUTCHAR here [13:24] Keybuk: times out [13:24] which is what we use to grab Escape [13:24] pitti: that implies not locking then, just not seeing input [13:24] cjwatson: INPUTCHAR is "check for escape", return to main loop [13:25] so you then end up with two bits of code reading from stdin [13:25] depending which one gets it, you get different behaviour [13:25] this is true [13:26] anyway, I meant you to try out the termios hackery and see if that helps [13:26] that being said, it might be cute to replace INPUTCHAR with something else [13:26] * pitti tries termios bits [13:26] ESCAPE %d [13:26] (when escape is pressed, send SIGHUP to %d) [13:26] you could patch that into your code then :p [13:27] evand: I followed up on #439485, I wonder if we can just make ubiquity ignore the error from cdrom.Add() ?

[15:17] davmor2: never [15:18] Nooooooooo [15:18] Keybuk: then replace it with plymouth :P [15:19] sebner: every time it's suggested, somebody points out that Plymouth is KMS only [15:20] keybuk: Ah, this seems to be the problem: nih_main_loop → nih_io_handle_fds → nih_io_watcher → nih_io_closed frees the io, then mountall’s progress_timer still does stuff with it. [15:20] . o O (how hard can it be to rewrite usplash from scratch, cleanly...) [15:21] liw: that's what Plymouth is, arguably [15:21] would it really hurt to just not splash at all before xsplash?

[15:25] jdong: that's what we tried in karmic, and everyone screamed [15:27] cjwatson: heh. Seems like a lot of man-hours spent on a logo screen that shows up for 5-10s [15:27] jdong: tell me about it [15:27] jdong: then you get people like sladen spending ages screaming and whining that the logo shows up for MINUTES and DOES NOT PULSATE! [15:27] cjwatson: if the waiting time till xsplash is really small like say in karmic+1, then usplash won't be needed [15:27] right?

[15:29] pitti: what's all this about X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain getting changed to X-GNOME-Gettext-Domain ? [15:29] [15:30] * tgpraveen sees many forum posts with slow boot times [15:30] jdong: I would agree, but I was overruled [15:30] Riddell: the glib patch was sent to upstream, and SUSE is using it as well; our cdbs continues to use X-Ubuntu- [15:30] and so now I spend my time debugging the splash screen instead [15:30] Keybuk: :( shame... My sympathies [15:30] Riddell: (glib looks for both now) [15:31] pitti: sakes, there's more in this world than glib [15:31] Riddell: sure, but what's wrong with changing it in packages which use glib? [15:31] pitti: because those files are read by apps which don't use glib [15:32] Keybuk: (I tried the md5sum thing and they were both the same, if nobody else got back to you) [15:33] Riddell: ok; so does it need to be reverted for some packages? [15:33] Riddell: don't forget your lovely k3b :-P [15:34] pitti: if there are packages in our archive which use this then they either need to be reverted to use X-Ubuntu or I need to update the kdelibs patch to look for X-GNOME [15:34] pitti: but who picked X-GNOME, could nobody think of a desktop agnostic term to use? [15:34] Riddell: as I said, cdbs langpack.mk uses X-Ubuntu- for that [15:35] Riddell: FWIW, we should just have "Gettext-Domain:" and the fdo spec guys should just accept it into the spec.. [15:35] it's X-- [15:35] who are these mysterious fdo spec guys? [15:36] neither of the KDE guys listed at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ are active [15:38] pitti: so does anything in Ubuntu use X-GNOME in karmic. will it in lucid?

[16:51] cjwatson: thanks [16:52] zul: yes. [16:52] zul: but a call in a few [16:52] asac: do you want to discuss augeas when you are off your call? [16:53] zul: yes. will be there for you [16:53] asac: thanks [16:54] asac: Hi, I try to find out why NM uses /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of /dev/ttyUSB2 of my Sierra MC8775 3G card. Could you give me some hints where to start? [16:54] asac: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598939 [16:54] Gnome bug 598939 in ModemManager "ModemManager chooses wrong ttyUSB interface for Sierra MC8775" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [17:04] keybuk: A quick fix at https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ion/ubuntu/karmic/mountall/segfault-fix, but i haven’t managed to track down the mnt != NULL issue yet. [17:04] ion: 404 [17:05] oh, s/,$// [17:05] ion: hah, obvious really [17:07] There should be a way to say ‘gdb *that*, and also valgrind it’ after you see an arbitrary crash on your screen. :-P [17:16] ion: that's what core files are for [17:21] Riddell: looks good to me. Thumbs up === beuno is now known as beuno-lunch [17:26] sebner: it doesn't complain about missing CD writer? [17:28] Riddell: nope, k3b shows me the (empty) writer above the directories. Played a little bit with preferences etc etc. Everything works fine. I need a mp3 plugin though === rmcbride_ is now known as rmcbride [17:31] sebner: great, thanks [17:32] ubuntu-archive: please process liboro-java in binary NEW (documentation package) [17:34] slangasek, let me know when you want to chat about uec build output [17:38] keybuk: Meh, i don’t seem to be able to reproduce that error. [17:46] huh [17:46] why does hdparm call sync? === jsalisbury_away is now known as jsalisbury === beuno-lunch is now known as beuno [18:13] huh [18:13] cjwatson: today's live image seems a little broken [18:14] Keybuk: -v? worked for me [18:14] (dinner) [18:15] cjwatson: 19.2 [18:15] all icons missing, N-M didn't load, u6y not on desktop, etc. [18:20] So, hrm. You guys froze the Asterisk package at an rc version? [18:21] That seems...err... like a bad idea. At best. [18:28] 10 days.. is there still time for an exception to be started/acted on? [18:31] can someone reject the php upload it shouldnt have gone there [18:39] bug 455619 has now happened to me on two different machines; is anyone else seeing it? [18:39] Launchpad bug 455619 in linux "grub-pc removed, update-grub fails" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/455619 [18:43] Hello. Have a question regarding the function of the graphical tool that does the distribution update. [18:43] does it only change the sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade? [18:43] or is it more? [18:52] it is more. [18:52] there are some tidying up stuff that the update-manager does that isn't done by dpkg/apt [18:58] hyperair: can the tidying up stuff be done manually? my background: [18:58] I set up a internal mirror in our company for our internal users (about 20, slowly increasing *g*) [18:59] because our internet connection is quite slow I want that they use the internal mirror for update to karmic [18:59] at the moment on the mirror there is only jaunty [19:00] but when karmic will be final, then I want to add karmic to the mirror [19:00] I think the graphical updater changes sources list to a official xy.archive.ubuntu.com mirror [19:01] and that is what I don't want because it f*cks up our slow internet connection :-( [19:02] MausP, make your DNS give your internal mirror IP for xy.archive.ubuntu.com [19:03] or set up a caching proxy [19:30] MausP: change your /etc/hosts. [19:30] MausP: i've had this issue before. [19:30] MausP: i think there was some bug about it, to allow sysadmins to add their mirrors to the list of "ubuntu" mirrors. [19:31] MausP: what you can do is you can add your mirror to /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors === mint is now known as tgpraveen === tgpraveen is now known as tgpraveen11 === asac_ is now known as asac [20:05] Any MOTU devs willing to hold my hand/walk me through trying to get an exception for a package? The freeze exception process on the wiki isn't too helpful for this case, I don't think [20:05] They all suggest filing a bug with the changelog of an updated version and/or diff. Neither apply in this case. [20:06] what case would this be? [20:06] The Asterisk package. Karmic should not ship with 1.6.0-rc2. [20:06] err, 1.6.2.0-rc2 [20:06] and instead ship with ...? [20:06] something released... [20:08] Latest 1.6.1.x would be appropriate. [20:09] hi [20:09] Qwell: I think the idea is that it gets tested now so it is fit for the lts next release. It's been done deliberately [20:09] im new to the linux community [20:09] Qwell: have a chat on #ubuntu-server [20:09] im also just learning to program [20:09] i want to develop for ubuntu [20:10] what language is used to develop for ubuntu/debian? [20:10] davmor2: I'm confused about why that channel would be relevant [20:11] can people see what im saying? [20:11] Qwell: Asterisk is a Voip service and therefore server the package has mostly been handles by them and Daviey in particular [20:12] hello? [20:12] bostongeek24: yes [20:12] what language is used to develop for ubuntu/debian? [20:13] davmor2: I'm familiar with what Asterisk is. :) This would be a MOTU issue though, wouldn't it? [20:14] im currently learning python [20:14] bostongeek24: Your question is highly flawed. Ubuntu is a basically a large collection of software. There are many different languages involved. [20:14] bostongeek24: If there is some specific application (or set of applications) you're interested in, that may be a better start. [20:15] @Qwell not really === jdong_ is now known as jdong [20:17] Qwell: Like I say Daviey is your man and the server team were dealing with it so there decision etc that's why I say ask there. They are more likely to know :) [20:19] is there a place that lists all of the software in ubuntu and what language it uses? [20:19] like if i saw a list then i might see something i would like to develop for [20:20] ?? [20:23] hello?? [20:24] bostongeek24: I don't know of a list that exists like that. I'd look at package dependencies (and build-dependencies) to see what languages they are written in. [20:25] how do i do that? [20:27] bostongeek24: apt-cache showsrc packagename. You may also want to join #ubuntu-offtopic since #ubuntu-devel is more of a working channel [20:56] <[reed]> what's the channel where canonical's sysadmins hang out? [20:56] <[reed]> need to report an issue [20:59] [reed]: Actually, theres #canonical-sysadmin [21:00] <[reed]> thanks [21:12] slangasek: I just uploaded libselinux with a fix for a total regression in python-selinux (all python modules went away). the binary deb python-selinux is unseeded and in universe, so I'll leave it up to you when to push it wrt the RC ISOs. [21:30] cjwatson: Hey, in debian-cd r829 you dropped empty Packages files from CD; was this to save space? [21:30] cjwatson: We have a bug on the moblin remix CD that an APT popup appears when the CD is not an usable source [21:31] cjwatson: evand suggested this might be an APT bug, but I'm not sure [21:31] It seems ok for APT to reject this CD [21:32] cjwatson: So I'd like to perhaps revert your change, or keep one Packages file [21:32] bug is LP #439485 [21:32] Launchpad bug 439485 in ubiquity "APT error during installer" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/439485 === jdong is now known as jdong_ === funkyHat is now known as funkyBass === jdong__ is now known as jdong === funkyBass is now known as funkyHat [21:57] ubuntu-archive: please have a look at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maven2/+bug/454826/comments/2 [21:57] Launchpad bug 454826 in maven2 "sync requests (unstable -> universe) to get maven built" [Undecided,New] [21:59] slangasek - i've uploaded a build of g-s-d to my PPA which makes the housekeeping plugin more verbose. would you mind running it with "--debug --no-daemon" and capturing the output as the low disk space warning appears a few times? it should hopefully give me some idea why it's not working [21:59] https://edge.launchpad.net/~chrisccoulson/+archive/ppa is my PPA [22:00] soren, slangasek i've updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEC/Images/Publishing to cover the state of ec2 build processing. === |Baby| is now known as Baby [22:05] smoser: I don't understand this: "LABEL must be set to the "label" for this promotion. That would be one like 'beta1' or 'rc' or 'release'." [22:06] Perhaps it's just "promotion", that confuses me. [22:06] I've never seen that word used this way.

[22:30] mdz: 455619> can we get a dpkg / apt log to try to figure out why grub1 was installed in the first place? (grub1 / grub2 are supposed to conflict, there was a window when they didn't, the question is why grub was pulled in at all here and whether we can do anything about that) [22:30] zul: php5 rejected as requested === TheMuso` is now known as TheMuso [22:41] zul: slangasek: what's the plan for samba 3.4.2 - bug 447360?

[22:45] Debian bug 551612 in fltk1.1 "missing symbols when built with GCC-4.4, which were added for GCC-4.3" [Important,Open] [22:48] lool: I think it was to deconfuse something in the installer; please don't revert the change, but feel free to make it conditional on moblin or something [22:49] doko__: why does he believe it's safe? That's the entirety of the question [22:50] mathiaz: I don't have any plan yet, do you need me to review that quickly? Or do you want to just upload and have us pick it up from the queue? [22:50] slangasek: well - I was just triaging the New,Incomplete bugs [22:50] slangasek: I'll take it up with zul then [22:52] cjwatson: ok; that's the temporary fix I had in mind, but I can as well call it final :) [22:52] slangasek: my workaround would be to reference the methods in some other unused code [22:54] doko__: does that mean you know that it's *not* safe? [22:54] * ccheney found out there are more kde4 bugs in OOo, argh! [22:58] slangasek: no, but it looks more like a fix in GCC, with 4.3 introducing these new symbols. if you look from 4.2 -> 4.4, there are no missing symbols [22:59] doko__: ok - that's more convincing to me than anything else I've heard so far... go ahead and trim the symbols, then [23:07] doko: bug 455647 [23:07] Launchpad bug 455647 in libjaxp1.3-java "package libjaxp1.3-java 1.3.04-3ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/java/xml-apis.jar', which is also in package libxalan2-java 0:2.7.1-2ubuntu1" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/455647 [23:08] zul: I'm not going to give a freeze exception for fixing up LSB init script headers that we don't use [23:09] asac: missed targeting to release? (done) [23:09] doing many things in parallel ;) [23:09] thx [23:11] so here's an interesting sit for you. [23:11] I just unplugged my ISP's wifi router (they control it, I walked over to it and disabled it) [23:11] they have another one nearby I can reach. [23:11] the one I unplugged is broken; when it's plugged in, I can't connect to the wifi, as it fails to negotiate properly. [23:11] when they plug it back in, I'll be redirected to it, and instantly lose internet. [23:12] why can't I select specifically which router to use, by MAC address? [23:12] doko__: buildds still on manual for maven? [23:13] slangasek: no, not anymore [23:13] doko__: ok, cool [23:13] asac: yes, known, fixed by libxalan2-java which should be in the archive by now [23:14] bluefoxicy: KDE probably would let you do that ;-) [23:15] bluefoxicy: or maybe using /etc/network/interfaces directly [23:15] bluefoxicy: hmm actually it seems NM can do it too, or at least lets you type a mac in [23:15] bluefoxicy: whether it actually do anything with it i don't know [23:15] bluefoxicy: go to edit connection information [23:15] doko__: how does the new libxalan2-java fix it? that looks like a missing Conflicts/Replaces from libjaxp1.3-java [23:17] smoser: sorry, I was up all night to get the ball rolling on ISO smoketesting, and am just now catching up with things today; I'll dig into UEC publishing here shortly and ping you back if you're still around [23:17] ccheney: that's non-obvious ;) [23:18] * bluefoxicy clicks Edit, and the app freezes. [23:18] bluefoxicy: heh, works for me :-\ [23:18] well the edit part anyway, didn't test the mac part [23:18] ccheney: oh, I'd just like to see the menu pop out so you can select from the APs [23:18] bluefoxicy: needing to set a mac address isn't common though so wouldn't be the default to pop up and ask you it on connection [23:19] bluefoxicy: ah yea that would be nice too [23:19] ccheney: I mean like put an arrow next to the signal strength, if I click it it pops out a submenu "hey here's all the APs related" [23:19] so I can force instead of let it autoneg. [23:20] yea, normally the one with the strongest signal is the best one to use.. except in your case ;-) [23:20] btw I'm on Karmic [23:20] * ccheney is still on jaunty, will be upgrading in a few days [23:20] heh one day I really want a Gentoo-like apt repo [23:20] no, we definitely don't want to give people an easy button for hard-associating with a particular AP [23:20] bluefoxicy: just go into n-m and delete yours for the time being [23:21] people will click it and not understand why their wireless has stopped working when they've roamed out of range of that AP [23:21] i.e. I don't want to see 16MB files to download just to update 3 packages [23:21] heh around here, the way the wifi is laid out, it's kind of evil... [23:21] slangasek: oh, because our users are complete retards then and wifi is harder than the special olympics? [23:21] slangasek: well it could be made easier than having to use iwlist [23:21] there are places with two AP's located on different subnets broadcasting the same ESSID [23:22] so if your wifi driver chooses to roam between the two, that's death [23:22] (naturally they are in the process of putting all of the wifi across campus on the same subnet *cringe*) [23:23] slangasek: were you the same guy that decided that if Ubuntu prints status messages during boot (Loading Hardware Drivers... OK, Checking File Systems... OK) that the users will be "shocked" and will immediately cry that the computer is broken? [23:23] bluefoxicy: that's inappropriate for this channel [23:24] slangasek: Is it? I asked in this channel about the 'quiet' option, and someone actually argued that if Grub prints out something like "Loading kernel..." and a bunch of text for half a second, the users would actually become shocked and confused, and it would impair their ability to use the computer [23:24] this was like 5 releases ago though [23:24] bluefoxicy: your earlier comment. [23:25] slangasek: well that's the impression I get from some of the developers. If it's not mind-numbingly simple on a level that almost if not definitely breeds stupidity, it's assumed that the user will somehow screw it up in every case and must be kept away from any such thing at all costs. [23:26] I didn't say "in every case". You're putting up a strawman [23:26] the thing is I don't want the simplest things like "Associate with a different AP" or "what stage is your boot process stalling at" to come down to loading up a recovery CD on a command line and having a deep understanding of all the various configuration files on a Linux system [23:26] people will click it and not understand why their wireless has stopped working when they've roamed out of range of that AP [23:27] ^^^ this argument is only significant if that's the majority of user experiences, and people aren't smart enough to figure out why this happens [23:27] 23:21 slangasek: oh, because our users are complete retards then and wifi is harder than the special olympics? [23:27] that needs an apology [23:27] no, we definitely <-- And apparently you definitely think this is the case [23:28] * ccheney hopes his OOo mailbox doesn't fill back up by tomorrow, heh [23:30] seb128: how's the GNOME queue looking? [23:30] did the apport retrace service die? [23:36] slangasek, quite well, not sure what you want to know exactly though [23:36] seb128: when it will be settled so that I can start RC rolls [23:36] slangasek, ie there is a few sponsoring request waiting and a bunch of things not updated yet [23:37] i'm just about to do gnome-terminal ;) [23:37] read(4, 0x1239620, 2048) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:37] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 24996 [23:37] seb128: so probably not ready for rolls until tomorrow morning?
