starekgcj or something else?00:08
starekif its gcj why is it so damn slow00:08
stareki understand it is being used as the default java interpreter00:09
directhexstarek, openjdk's javac, i think00:15
directhexstarek, there's some kind of default compiler metapackage00:15
starekyeah00:15

mattn_good morning08:58
mattn_i've just updated my ubuntu box @work08:58
mattn_and now i can't click the task panel applications with my first left click anymore08:59
mattn_i first have to right click an application, then i can left click again08:59
macofile a bug?08:59
mattn_any ideas how to fix it?08:59
mattn_i thought it is maybe already known08:59
mattn_as it's the second box i've updated and it happened on both of them09:00
macohttp://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs09:00
macoyouch09:00
apwmattn_, where did you upgrade from?  cirtainly not seen that behavior09:01
mattn_apw, update manager09:02
apwi mean which release did you upgrade from09:02
apwand do you mean that you have to always click right then left works, or just one right in the bar is enough to sort it out09:03
macoand was this a normal update or a one release to the next upgrade?09:03
macoand do you have -proposed enabled?09:04
mattn_9.04 => 9.1009:04
mattn_no, proposed is not activated09:05
mattn_maco, one release to the next09:05
mattn_apw, before the left clicks are working again, i have to right click the app (in the panel)09:06
mattn_alt+tab works fine09:06
macoand is this laptop with touchpad, or are you using a normal mouse?09:06
mattn_just switching via mouse isn't working09:06
mattn_normal mouse09:06
mattn_on both of the affected machines09:06
mattn_and both were an update from 9.04 to 9.1009:06
mattn_i didn't play with any "low-level" gconf stuff09:07
apwmattn_, so i hear you saying that each and every left click in the panel you need to do a right click09:07
mattn_if that matters ;)09:07
mattn_no, not everyone - sometimes it works (but not very often)09:07
apwmattn_, are you also finding that left click works everywhere else?09:08
mattn_no, some other gtk components are not working via mouse, too09:08
ajmitchmattn_: file a bug, it's something that I've seen on 1 karmic install as well09:08
mattn_some buttons in some applications only listen to an activating via space or enter09:08
mattn_e.g. on my work machine it's eclipse that isn't working as expected for some buttons09:09
mattn_and now it worked 5 times ok, then it stopped working again - really strange09:09
mattn_nothing i can nail it down to09:10
mattn_already tried to reboot and so on09:10
mattn_i'm not even sure how i should create a reasonable bugreport for this09:10
apwyou can really only describe it as clearly as possible.  "left clicks not always functional" or something, but do clearly state is multiple applications and that its intermittent and what you can do to make it start working again09:11
apwit would be worth doing an xev and recording its output09:12
macomattn_: ajmitch just said he's seen it before. he may have some insight09:12
apwand then do a series of left clicks there09:12
ajmitchmaco: I wish I did, I haven't had a chance to look into it09:12
apwalso check dmesg, to see if there is any mouse errors, sometimes we lose sync with mice09:12
apwas its all applications which are affected i'd probabally file it against the kernel with ubuntu-bug linux, and then 'we'll' ask for the dmesg and xev tests which hopefully can tell us if its kernel or not09:13
apwif not we'll pass it to X for further diagnosis09:13
* ajmitch has only noticed it on gtk+ apps, mostly the panel 09:14
ajmitchI don't think it'll be a kernel issue09:15
siretart`I note messages during upgrade like this: "Package foo should be rebuild with new debhelper to get trigger support" it seems to relate with install-info. however, debhelper seems up-to-date09:39
siretart`any ideas what package needs merging/fixing?09:40
dholbachsiretart`: could be that those packages have "old maintainer scripts" and thus need a rebuild with the new debhelper?09:43
siretart`dholbach: I don't think so. I'm seeing this with my last emacs22 upload a few hours ago to lucid09:45
dholbachah ok09:45
* dholbach shrugs then09:45
sorensiretart`: Does it use dh_installinfo, or does it add install-info calls "manually" to postinst?09:46
sorenThat error message comes from install-info.09:46
sorenIf it gets called from a maintainer script, it will echo that warning, because since debhelper 7.2.17, dh_installinfo does not add a call to install-info, but relies on a trigger to handle that.09:47
sorensiretart`: I just checked. It does call install-info manually.09:48
siretart`but it also ships with a dh_installinfo -a call in debian/rules09:48
siretart`so it seems to do both09:48
sorensiretart`: Yeah, I don't know how it's supposed to work when you want to pass extra options to install-info.09:51
siretart`hm. let's see if this happens in debian as well09:51
sorensiretart`: I'm quite sure it will. See changelog entry for 7.2.17 in debhelper.09:51
siretart`hm09:53
siretart`why didn't this hit us in karmic as well, but just in lucid?09:53
sorensiretart`: The texinfo change happened rather late, apparantly.09:55
sorenTue, 20 Oct 2009 18:28:40 +010009:56
siretart`so the "bug" is already in karmic, but we just didn't notice09:56
sorenYes.09:56
sorenOh.09:56

soren(for amd64)09:56
sorenAbout the same for i386.09:57
cjwatsonsiretart`: yes, just stop using install-info in the maintainer scripts09:57
cjwatsoncody-somerville: I've promoted diffutils to main, which should fix that particular debootstrap breakage09:57
sorenIf you need to pass special options to install-info, you seem to have to use ginstall-info.09:57
sorensiretart`: ^09:57
siretart`ok. made a mental note09:58
sorencjwatson: Unless you know of another way to do so after this change?09:58
cjwatsonsoren: I thought in most situations it was possible to put the necessary information in the info file header to be more trigger-friendly10:07
cjwatsonwe definitely don't want to encourage lots of packages calling [g]install-info directly, AFAIK10:07
sorencjwatson: Alright, thanks.10:11
sorenKeybuk: Are you planning on a UDS session about network configuration in the brave new world of upstart?10:19
A1Multidoes anyone know how to get nvidia drivers to work with ubuntu when using Sun Virtual box?10:27
Keybuksoren: no?10:30
sorenKeybuk: Hm. Ok.10:40
ogradid anything change with networking ?10:41
ograi mean from a users perspective10:41
Keybukusers use network manager10:42
Keybukso no ;)10:42
sorenSome users do.10:42
sorenogra: Yes.10:42
highvoltagethat seems like quite a random arb question :)10:43
ograwell, NM is used as well as /e/n/i ...10:43
sorenogra: Like, for instance, bonding used to work most of the time.10:43
ograi dont see where upstart comes into play10:43
ograand it doesnt anymore ?10:43
sorenogra: Due to lots of stuff being upstartified in Karmic, the order in which certain things happens has changed.10:44
Keybuksoren: but bonding still works10:44
sorenKeybuk: I'm not going to discuss this again.10:44
ograright, but if something is broken due to that, thats a bug10:44
Keybuksoren: but you started the discussion10:44
sorenKeybuk: I'm stating facts.10:44
sorenKeybuk: Not theory.10:44
Keybukno, you asked if there was going to be a discussion10:44
sorenYes, it's racy now, and it was before.10:44
Keybukwhich, if you're not going to discuss it, is a bit ... contrary10:45
sorenKeybuk: At UDS.10:45
slangaseksoren: so put a blueprint on the server track?  I would try to attend, certainly10:45
sorenKeybuk: I'm not going to discuss it /here/, just with you, again.10:46
sorenAt UDS, certainly.10:47
slangasekI don't think this is a topic that requires a lot of discussion from a lot of people; it really just needs one bugfix10:47
Keybukif you want a session on server boot-time network config, add it to the server track?10:47
sorenslangasek: Oh, really? What might that fix be?10:48
slangaseksoren: "make it not racy"10:48
Keybukthe obvious fix for me is that ifup eth0 should bring up any bonded interfaces attached to eth010:48
Keybuk(provided the other bits are up)10:48
slangasekis ifup reentrant?10:49
Keybukno idea10:49
Keybukit's written in LaTeX, so that's probably "Chapter 4" :)10:49
sorenslangasek: Well, if you guys know how to "make it not racy", there's no point in my driving a discussion about it.10:50
slangasekat a high level, yes, I know how to make it not racy - the bonding interfaces need to be event-driven in the same way other interfaces are.  Keybuk's suggestion is one possible solution, if it works10:51
slangasekif you think it needs to be discussed, I'm happy to discuss it10:52
cjwatsonIIRC I've used ifup in a post-up hook in the past10:53
slangasekok10:53
sorenI think I've tried that, and it didn't work.10:54
sorenI think it logs /var/run/network/ifstate or whatever it's called.10:54
sorenErr.. /locks/10:54
cjwatsonit locks it briefly when updating it, but from a cursory glance through the source it does not appear to lock it for the duration of ifup's execution10:54
cjwatsonICBW of course10:55
Keybukcjwatson: I think it used to, and I fixed that10:55
sorenAh.10:55
sorenI kind of thought it was on purpose.10:55
slangaseksoren: what might make a good UDS topic (IMHO) is "what are the things that upstartification breaks on the server?" - that way we can get out on the table all the issues anyone has run into, and we can make sure they *all* get dealt with for lucid10:56
sorenslangasek: I would love to get this all solved. I just don't want to have the same type of discussion we had two weeks ago.10:58
soren"The only winning move is not to play"10:58
Keybukpitti: how can I turn off the apport "serious kernel problem" thing?11:23

mvojames_w: is there a way to ask merge-package for different merge strategies (like --lca)? I tried it on "shadow" and got a suboptimal merge12:12

dpmhi mvo, sorry for not replying earlier. First of all, regarding the bug, yeah, I'll ping danilo and the other guys to have a look at it. Or perhaps a better idea would be to mentor sianis to fix it himself, now that LP is opensource.13:40
dpmmvo re: the nightly bzr exports of the ddtp translations project, bzr exports for source packages are not yet implemented in LP, only for projects13:54
dpmwhat is he trying to implement which would need the exports?13:54
dpmPerhaps there is a better way using some of the existing features13:54
mvodpm: its a export of a project he needs, but its currently not working because of the amount of strings in the ddtp project13:58
ScottKpitti: The powerpc, ia64, and sparc uploads for the kdebase-workspace SRU (Karmic) that you accepted earlier today failed to upload. LP has no upload log. This is somewhat concerning since it was fine the last pre-release upload. Suggestions on who I should talk to about this?14:01

dpmmvo, ah, I see, yes, it's https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu. This should be filed as a support request (https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+addquestion) if it's not working, so that the LP devs can look at it in detail. sianis, do you think you could do that?14:01

ubottuLaunchpad bug 435228 in ltsp "ltsp doesn't boot due to mount errors in initrd" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43522814:11
ScottKdpm: Since -proposed is an area for testing, sometimes packages fail testing and never make it into the archive.14:11
Keybukogra: "in initrd" => NOT MOUNTALL!14:11
ScottKdpm: It seems to me that -proposed ought not be used for translation imports since that may leave them out of sync with what is finally delivered to end users.14:12
ograKeybuk, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32307916/ltsp_2.png14:13

Keybukogra: fun, got a patch? :)14:14
ograKeybuk, nope, no idea whats going on there yet14:14
ograi'll try to find out though ... there are some reports on the ltsp mailing list that it's not reliable reproducable ... does apparently only happen one out of ten boots or so14:15
dpmScottK, hmm, that's a good point, but there are two other points that come to mind here: in principle uploads to -proposed shouldn't be changing strings (or unless not without notifying translators), and sometimes uploads to -proposed are indeed fixes to strings (in which case we do want the new strings in LP)14:17
ScottKdpm: True.  Except what if you change the string and then the update gets rejected for other reasons?14:17
ScottKIt would seem to me you'd want to know it was going in the archive.14:18
KeybukARGH! My coffee machine stopped working after I upgraded my laptop to karmic!14:19
KeybukCANCEL THE RELEASE!14:19
* Keybuk finishes catching up with ubuntu-devel-discuss14:19
ScottKgeser: Looks like it's fixed now.14:20
dpmScottK, I don't have a definitive solution for this other than letting the translations team know: if an upload to -proposed modified strings in a template and was later rejected, those rejecting it should notify the translations team, who can then manually upload the old template back without requiring a package upload14:20
ScottKdpm: I think any solution that relies on developers remembering to tell translators about unusual things is doomed to fail.14:21
dpmScottK, yes, I agree :) I'm also for automatic solutions14:22
dpmbut I thought uploads to proposed14:23
dpmmight be something that gets more review before getting uploaded14:23
dpmso any string changes are accepted/rejected before the upload14:24
ScottKdpm: We upload to proposed for testing and even with all the review before hand, it doesn't always go well.14:25
dpmScottK, but I agree that it makes sense to discuss it14:25
cjwatsondpm: while it's true that they get review, I'm not sure how to glue that together with translation workflow14:25
dpmcjwatson, I was not implying that they do not get review, sorry if it came across that way14:26
cjwatsonI know you weren't14:26
dpmok14:26
ScottKdpm: In any case, I think it's something to look into.  I'd wait for it to hit updates, but I don't pretend to understand all the translation stuff.14:27
ScottKgeser: Looks like it's fixed.14:28
dpmScottK, cjwatson there are guidelines on freezes, which mention what to do on string changes. I'm wondering, are there similar guidelines for reviewing uploads to -proposed, in which we could add a note on translations? I know it wouldn't be the definitive solution, but I'm up for anything that raises the awareness on translations14:28
dpmScottK, in any case it might make a good topic for a discussion at UDS14:29
ScottKdpm: OK.  You should talk to the translation guy about scheduling it. ;-)14:29
dpmyeah, I wonder who that is ;)14:29
cjwatsondpm: StableReleaseUpdates14:34
dpmah, thanks. I'll make some notes on translations and send them to the ubuntu-sru team for review14:35

VoradorHi. Could someone help with PPA builds? The problem is that the build-bot installs the wrong version of software (I have the needed version in my ppa already built, but it installs ubuntu version instead) and package building fails because of that. Build log -> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35424976/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-lpia.audacious-plugins_1.5.1-2ubuntu3~ppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz Package list -> https://launchpad.net/~sandshrew/17:02

ubottuLaunchpad bug 426027 in util-linux "/dev/disk/by-uuid doesn't exist in karmic kernels" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42602717:07
Keybukyou say "Given that upstream has a fix for this, we should certainly apply this to karmic via SRU."17:07
Keybukunfortunately the "fix" is after a near-rewrite of blkid ;)17:07
NgKeybuk: is it something that can be detected prior to upgrading?17:16
NgI mean detected and fixed17:16
KeybukNg: fixing involves dd over partitions17:16
* Keybuk gets scared17:16
Ngnot fixing involves an inability to boot, which is also kinda scary17:17
Ngand at least pre-upgrade the thing is in a known-good state17:18
Ngeven just saying "sorry, you can't upgrade" would be better than the current situation17:18

lamontsmb: for the lols: crossgrading to amd64 fixes karmic for 44545618:24
lamontapparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-54b68396-8493-97f7-c78a-ac9a74684ddb <-- wtf?18:24
smblamont, the last thing maybe jjohansen knows18:25
lamontthose are 2 totally unrelated comments, fwiw18:25
jjohansenlamont: give me a sec18:25
lamontanyway, somewhere in karmic, the jaunty regression that the CVE fix uncovered got fixed.  Meanwhile, karmic/i386 hates booting windoze differently18:26
sbeattielamont: jdstrand added per vm apparmor profile generation to libvirt.18:26
lamontkarmic/amd64 was on the plate for a while, so I spent a couple hours yesterday doing the crossgrade18:26
lamontsbeattie: ok, just per-vm, not per-invocation.. much better18:26
jjohansenlamont: jdstrand has add some AppArmor libvirt wrappers18:27
lamontmdeslaur: most of postfix should be confinable - just local and it's friends should have issues, no?18:27
sbeattielamont: that's my understanding, but at the moment, my knowledge of libvirt is doing there is theoretical only18:27
lamontsbeattie: heh18:27
lamontsmb: so short answer is that I'm less interested in the bug now, since I haz working windoze again18:28
mdeslaurlamont: I haven't looked at the issue, I'm just quoting the fedora page18:28
smblamont, The other thing not surprisingly because the problem seems to be related to setting 64bit flags on 32bit18:28
lamontmdeslaur: we can spend some time in dallas staring at it18:28
smblamont, Would you still be able to run test kernels for me?18:28
lamontmost of the postfix daemons should be very constrainable18:28
lamontsmb: yeah18:28
smblamont, Great. I have something built (but not tested and uploaded) Maybe a bit later18:29
lamontsmb: the biggest challenge is that the early karmic kernels don't work with jaunty or karmic userspace very well...  that was when I gave up on bisecting karmic and through some total entropy into the problem by booting the amd64 livecd18:29
mdeslaurlamont: with libcap-ng? or are you talking about apparmor?18:29
lamontapparmor18:29
lamonthaven't looked at libcap-ng18:29
lamontmdeslaur: or were you talking about libcap-ng?18:31
lamontmost of the postfix daemons have very specific things that they do, and files/directories that they should touch.  local is the glaring exception of the tip of my head18:32
lamont(mixed metaphors are just so much fun...)18:32
mdeslaurlamont: yeah, we were talking about libcap-ng: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LowerProcessCapabilities18:32
lamontah, more reading.  kthx18:33

Keybukslangasek: I learned debhelper %: dh $@ thingy18:45
Keybukslangasek: I was disappointed that it doesn't help take care of the whole CFLAGS/--build/--host thing in *any way* :-(18:45
Keybukwhich is by far the largest and ugliest bit of debian/rules18:45
macohaha18:45
lamontyeah - it's a non-issue for me now.  at some point, I'll migrate the i386 karmic boot tree to not be where it is today, and then things will be simpler.18:45
cjwatsonKeybuk: it really should; dh_auto_configure takes care of --build/--host18:48
Keybukcjwatson: yeah, but dh_auto_configure has joey's idiotically wrong idea of flags to pass to configure18:48
Keybukso it'll fail on any up to date package due to the unknown options18:48
cjwatsonreally? which ones? I haven't run into any problems18:48
cjwatsonoh, apart from the one that he took from cdbs, which was wrong18:49
Keybukit unconditionally passes --disable-maintainer-mode and --disable-dependency-tracking iirc18:49
cjwatson#54145818:49
Keybukwhich don't even exist18:49
cjwatsondoesn't configure just ignore those?18:49
Keybukno, not anymore18:49
Keybukautoconf stopped ignoring unknown options a while back18:49

cjwatsonhm, well dh_auto_configure doesn't break on any autoconf-up-to-date package for me18:49
cjwatsonbut YMobviouslyV :)18:50
cjwatsonhave you filed a bug already, or shall I?18:50
Keybukcjwatson: if you could18:50
cjwatsonlooks like he took those two from cdbs as well18:50
cjwatson/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools-vars.mk has the exact same thing18:50
cjwatsonok, will do so in a bit18:51
KeybukI was also vaquely wondering whether --localstatedir=/var shouldn't be --localstatedir=/var/lib18:51
Keybukbut I can't remember which was right18:51
cjwatsonif you have any references to send me it wouldn't hurt18:51
cjwatsonlocalstatedir's default is ${prefix}/var18:51
cjwatsonbut of course that's for the /usr/local layout18:51
Keybukinfo Autoconf => Site Configuration => Option Checking18:52
KeybukI'll dig up the ref that these are turning into errors now as well18:53
Keybukthey are already in git18:53
Keybuk(since AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS does the right thing)18:53
cjwatsonah, so by "a while back" you mean "after the last release"? :-)18:54
Keybukthey've been warnings for a while already18:54
Keybukwhich is supposed to be a hint that what you're doing is deprecated18:54
