zookoHey folks, I just want to say Way To Go on Karmic!  You've done it again!  If your inboxes aren't overflowing with praise and gratitude, then this is just because you've been doing such a good job for so long that the world has started to take you for granted.02:19

zookoI was thinking that maybe the Lucid LTS could be made super stable by making it be nothing except bugfixes to Karmic.  ;-)02:29
zookoHeh heh.  I'm super excited because the p2p storage system that I love is included in Karmic -- Tahoe-LAFS.02:30
zookoI need to figure out the Lucid schedule to make sure that there is a nice shiny new Tahoe-LAFS at least a few weeks before the appropriate freeze for Lucid.02:30
TheMusozooko: Interesting thought. Audio wise, it will be bug fixes mostly one one side, and hardware enablement on the other.02:31

RAOFroh: I mean - you can use the same key for swap as for your other crypted discs.08:21

ionkeybuk: With ‘expect fork’, i managed to consistently get Upstart into a ‘stop/killed (IIRC), process <inexistent-pid>’ state. Since i didn’t want to reboot the server to get Upstart back to a good state, i used a script that forks children until a child gets the pid in question, then kills its parent and lets the child exit. Then Upstart noticed the death of the process and all was good until the next attempt. :-P I simply made the daemon stay in ...12:59
ion... foreground, problem solved.12:59
pittiwow!13:00
ionkeybuk: I guess ‘expect fork’ isn’t the right thing for a shell script that runs external binaries and then finally execs the daemon that forks once.13:00
Keybukwe're already largely *ahead* of testing, no?13:01

Keybukpackages where we're ahead of testing may need to be merged manually13:01

ionThe fork-and-exec for the external commands must confuse it, or something.13:01

Keybukion: which daemon were you using originally?  a few handle SIGCHLD themselves13:01
Keybukion: no, that won't work ;)13:01

Chipzzcopying the filesystem is a bit of an oversimplicification, but that's what it (basically) boils down to15:55
joaopintoright, I was realling thinking about the livecd, I had the wrong idea it had .debs also, I guess that would be too much for a single cd :)15:56
Chipzzsome packages need to have their postinst ran for obvious reasons, and you need to create a new user15:56

m4they, so i have an old misnamed custom kernel, and even though its removed/purged, update-initramfs -k all still finds it16:59

m4ti tried strace -f'ing the update-initramfs as well17:00
mvocjwatson: looks good I think, the only thing I can think of is http://paste.ubuntu.com/305206/ (a bug in my original branch)17:00

pedro_jdstrand, right, I've been see you doing work there that's why i'm asking ;-)17:47
jdstrandpedro_: I noticed you removed that apparmor tag from the first one. when triaging, if you see that an application is protected by apparmor, and it is apparmor that is causing the problem, please add/leave the apparmor tag17:48
jdstrandpedro_: we changed this around slightly in DebuggingApparmor lately17:48
pedro_jdstrand, good to know, will do it17:48
jdstrandpedro_: there is no evidence that bug #461747 is apparmor related17:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 461747 in evince "evince crashed with signal 7" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/46174717:49

pedro_jdstrand, ok, will follow up with the reporter on that one then17:50
pedro_jdstrand, thanks for checking!17:50
jdstrandpedro_: you can see more in DebuggingApparmor, but it is easy to spot an apparmor related issue by looking in kern.log for deny messages17:50
pedro_jdstrand, thanks will have a look into it17:51
jdstrandpedro_: evince now has an apport hook, so it will grab the kern.log messages17:51
jdstrandpedro_: notice in 461747 it references that apparmor is enabled, but no denials17:51
jdstrandpedro_: basically, what you see in 461747 is that apparmor is not a problem17:52
pedro_jdstrand, got it17:52

dtchenmdz: I don't know offhand if there's a bug filed affecting grub/grub2. I do know, however, that it seems like every other "no sound" bug filed against alsa-driver in the past couple days has been "oh, you're still running Jaunty's kernel in Karmic", and having the reporter actually boot Karmic's kernel resolves the issue.21:00
dtchenmdz: in terms of verbose logging for PA, it's very chatty at that level, so I'm not sure how to address that without having the bug reporter actually follow a separate debugging path (as happens now with the wiki page). Suggestions welcome!21:02
