dtchen_are the irc channels for UDS logged?00:02

dtchen_tsimpson: / ScottK: thanks00:07
dtchen_bah, 20091116 seems missing for alamo200:09
tsimpsontimes are UTC+2, and UDS is UTC-6 I think00:09
tsimpsonhmm, actually some of it does seem to be missing00:11
tsimpsonoh well, someone has logs I'm sure00:12
dtchen_ok, gobby it is, then00:15
tsimpsonI remember now, we just didn't start logging until half-way through the first day00:15
tsimpsonno one had thought to get some logging before then00:16
tsimpsonso it was a bit of a scramble to get it up00:16

ScottKLet me look if I have it.00:31
ScottKdtchen_: I have that day.  What time do you want?00:32

dtchen_pitti: hi, do you know of any changes in karmic-proposed's udev that might cause bug #424655?01:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 424655 in pulseaudio "Pulse audio memory leak" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42465501:26
dtchen_s/proposed/updates/01:28
pittidtchen_: well, obviously I cannot rule out weird toolchain changes, but the actual code changes just fix an fd leak and an eternal loop in inotify handling (which doesn't actually affect the .deb by sheer luck, just when you build with -O0)01:35
pittidtchen_: IOW, it added a missing closedir() and fixed a variable type; no memory allocation changes at all01:36
pittiah, in comment 43?01:36
pittidtchen_: so, one potential explanation would be that said fd leak made udev completely stop recognizing new hardware on a lot of systems01:37
pittiso the fix might uncover another leak by adding/probing sound hw which previously didn't appear in udev (since it simply stopped working because of exceeding the 1024 fd limit)01:37
dtchen_pitti: hmm, right.01:38

pittiright; it's something that we already discussed last cycle, but didn't get to implementing01:43
pittimicahg: right, it'd certainly check the package version if the bug report has it01:44
micahgok, great, didn't see that in there, so I thought I'd mention it01:45

_follower_hi, if a tty has a pending newline and then fills the input buffer it no longer responds to ^C etc or bells.   this seems to be a pervasive "issue" across multiple OS, but I'm not sure if it's considered "correct behaviour" or not. possibly relevant code is 'n_tty_receive_room' in 'n_tty.c' and http://lwn.net/Articles/123724/ suggests that at least some of the code is considered suspect. is there a better place than here to mention this? :) if i15:35
_follower_considered a bug then I can file something, but i wasn't sure if it was just considered expected behaviour--even though it ends up leaving a terminal which you can't do anything with unless you kill the program. to test you can do e.g. perl -e "sleep 1000".15:35
_follower_hmmm, apparently the relevant code might now be around " n_tty_set_room"15:47

soreauHello folks17:18
soreauI am having trouble assisting a user in #compiz because he is trying to get the fire effect working but /usr/lib/compiz/libanimationaddon.so does not exist. So I had him do 'sudo aptitude remove --purge compiz-fusion-plugins-extra && sudo aptitude install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra' but the file still does not exist. It is a 64bit jaunty install. Why is this file not being installed?17:19
couannettehi17:21
soreauI can not come up with any conceivable scenario where this could happen and I am out of ideas. Might anyone know how this could be possible?17:21
couannetteis it possible to use 'germinate' to merge two archives or two configurations ?17:21
micahgsoreau: according to packages.ubuntu.com, it's in there17:22
soreaumicahg: I know that, that's is why I am completely baffled17:22
soreauHere is the output of his 'dpkg -l | grep compiz' http://pastebin.ca/167798317:23
soreauand the output of the re-installation command I gave him: http://pastebin.ca/167797317:24
soreauOther than having him install the file manually, I don't know what else to do17:24
soreaumore than anything, I want to know how this can possibly happen. Because when I tell a user to reinstall a package, I expect it to restore/replace/populate all files contained in the package17:26
cragdorHi all, who is the best person to talk to about the development of UbuntuOneMusic store17:28
StevenKsoreau: He is using another source in his sources.list that has a greater version than in Jaunty, and it doesn't provide that library?17:28
soreauStevenK: Even on Karmic, the package and file name situation is the same but I will investigate this possibility17:29
StevenKsoreau: apt-cache policy will help determine that17:29
soreauStevenK: I had him output this17:29
soreauStevenK: http://pastebin.ca/167793817:31
