Amaranth*sigh*03:47
AmaranthStupid KDE transition breaking compiz builds :/03:47
ScottKAmaranth: Qt upstream that does a post-beta binary incompatible change.03:52
ScottKNot actually even KDE's fault.03:52
AmaranthScottK: hrm, I don't think we do all that when GTK+ changes the ABI during development03:53
ScottKGenerally Qt doesn't break ABI except on major version updates, so I gather this was some kind of mistake as the 'fixed' ABI is compatible with 4.503:55

cjwatsonpitti: indeed, but gnome-panel also builds a library that's used all over the place, so *shrug*07:57
pittiah, ok07:58
pittiso it's due to the overlap with xubuntu, etc.07:58
cjwatsonno07:58
cjwatsonoverlaps don't cause something to go to core07:58
cjwatsonit's because the reverse (build-)dependency chain from libpanel-applet leads into core, somewhere along the line07:58
cjwatsonthe test is "can you break core by uploading this source package?"07:59
cjwatsonsince gnome-panel really is a fairly fundamental platformish package loosely disguised as desktop, I don't feel too bad about it07:59
pittiok, thanks for the heads-up08:00
pitticjwatson: what defines "core"?08:00
cjwatsonI think superm1 has found at least one genuine bug08:00
pitticore> minimal and standard seeds?08:01
pittihm, no, that wouldn't grab panel08:01
cjwatsonplatform.lucid/(required,minimal,boot,standard,d-i-requirements,installer,build-essential,language-packs,supported-(development,kernel,(hardware,installer,network,sysadmin)-common)) right now08:01
cjwatsonwe can change some of that, but I think reducing down to standard would be too far08:02
pittiagreed08:02
cjwatsonbesides, build-dependencies do still tend to suck in a lot of the world surprisingly quickly08:02
cjwatsonlook at the build-dep graph for just the kernel sometime :)08:02
pittiI just wondered where this is defined08:03
cjwatsonin a branch I need to push somewhere more sensible than cocoplum:~cjwatson/packagesets/08:03

matgeekHi!   I am a DD that wants to help out with IPv6 support in Ubuntu, testing Lucid for functionality.  Is there a blueprint for any of this ples?  May I write one?08:56
pittihey matgeek; I don't think that we specifically discussed IPv6 at UDS; my gut feeling is that problems with it should be handled through bug reports, unless there's some large architectural change that you plan?08:59
matgeekpitti:  No,Just want to vet functionality. Create a how to.  Pull a few IPv6 auto address functionality packages from universe to supported.09:01
matgeekpitti: IPv6 is coming quickly here in NZ.  My ISP is running trials.  I have the background and expertise to do this sort of work.09:02
pittigreat to hear that it's getting some real-life adoption!09:03
matgeekpitti:  Have developed and maintained OSPF for a router and zebra/quagga.  Ran IPSEC for NZ EEC using openswan.09:03
matgeekpitti:  I have what s needed to do this properly.09:04
pittithat's great, thanks for looking into that09:04
matgeekpitti: Who would I talk to to organise this?09:05
pittimatgeek: until there are concrete bug reports, I'd say that discussing it on ubuntu-devel@ would be best09:06
pittito make some more IPv6 literate people aware, and coordinate testing09:07
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
matgeekpitti:  Is there a place in the Ubuntu community wiki to start organising some documentation?  I want to document how to set up lucid for this, as well as create patches for any show stoppers that I find.09:08
pittimatgeek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 is a starting point, so feel free to create https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6/Testing or something such09:09
matgeekpitti:  Cool!  Thanks!  I will start from there.  Testing basic IPv6 on lucid, and how it would run on home lan etc.09:13
matgeekpitti:  We need to get Ipv6 smooth as to maintain Ubuntu's reputation.09:14
* pitti wishes that German T-Online would finally offer IPv6, too09:14
faganIPV6 still hasnt got around enough so its kinda hard to test09:15
matgeekfagan:  Yes I know, but I think I can make sure that lucid works well enough out of the box.  Within a year we will be seeing a lot more IPv6.  I just want to make sure that all the basica packages needed are supported etc, and file bugs where needed, and fix show stoppers.09:18
fagantrue but do a lot of testers have IPv6?09:19
matgeekfagan:  Not yet.  I am a Debian Developer with a background in networking, IPSEC, and zebra/quagga OSPF development.09:23

pittihm, host <-> VM should work with IPv609:24
pittibut kvm doesn't set up interfaces on the host side by default09:25
pittiI think there's a way to do that, though; I'm sure that kirkland would know :)09:25
matgeekpitti:  Already doing it with kvm!!.  I will keep quiet for a few days, and get back after exploring more, there looks like there may be quite a community using   IPv6 with Ubuntu.09:29
pittiogra: still remember the modprobe -b change that you did to pm-utils ages ago? I forwarded that to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25254, but there's no explanation why the change was done09:31

apwMacSlow, yo ... i hear you know about OSD10:22
MacSlowapw, sadly ;)10:23
apwMacSlow, does OSD take any X grabs in its life cycle showing popups etc?10:23
MacSlowapw, no10:23
apwMacSlow, just had a permenant hang of my OSD (and got a core off it), trying to understand how it can trigger unresponsivness in applications which don't use it10:24
MacSlow*shrugg*10:24
apwi've added the core to bug #34744410:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 347444 in notify-osd "OSD hangs up applications leading to them greying out" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34744410:25
apwits getting more and more frequent over time10:25
MacSlowapw, the only bug I know of (and have not yet been able to fix) is it stalling something on DBus10:25
apwit seems supprising gnome-terminal would use dbus, but anything is possible10:26
MacSlowapw, I even asked DBus-experts about possible causes for this... no clear answer as of yet10:26
apwso do we know what osd is trying to do when it goes non-responsive?10:27
* apw is suspicious that its going non-responsive when its queue gets large10:27
pittiapw: I take it I should add https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/ReleaseStatus/LucidTasks to kernel work item scanning?10:27
apwpitti, yep that is the roll up ... i meant to tell you about it10:28
ograpitti, -b makes modprobe respect the blacklist files10:28
MacSlowapw, nope10:28
pittiogra: right, but why?10:28
apwMacSlow, well there is a core file on the bug now, of it mid hang, so we should be able to tell from that right10:28
ograpitti, well, if a module is blacklisted i dont want it to be loaded10:28
pittiogra: if a module was loaded before suspend, shouldn't it be loaded after resume, regardless of blacklisting?10:28
MacSlowapw, an isolated test-case triggering this bug in notify-osd would be a good start... sofar nobody was able to provide such10:29
ograpitti, but it shouldnt be loaded before suspend, if it was, thats wrong ...10:29
apwMacSlow, i have tried hard to get it, and i get it about once a week on average, and cannot find a simple trigger for sure10:29
ograunless i misunderstand what a blacklist is for10:29
pittiogra: right, but if it is, you apparently loaded it manually10:29
pittiblacklist should be for suppressing auto-loading10:30
ograright10:30
pittibut pm-utils just restores the situation as it was before suspend10:30
ograit didnt when i supplied that patch10:30
pittiogra: I thought it was for not loading blacklisted module dependencies, etc.10:30
ograif thats different today then the -b isnt needed10:31
pittiogra: ok, thank you10:31
pittiapw: so it is on http://piware.de/workitems/kernel/lucid/report.html now10:31
apwpitti, most excellent10:32
pittiapw: right now, wiki page WIs can't have assignees (not sure where to fit them in), so they appear as "nobody"10:32
pittiif you have an idea/request how to add an assignee to it, I'm fine to add it10:33
pitticould e. g. be "assignee:apw" or so10:33
pittibut it needs a prefix or other special marking, otherwise any word in a table row could be considered an assignee10:33
apwpitti, well for my purposes i exposed INPROGRESS and added allowed it to be INPROGRESS apw10:33
apwpitti, though the other option would be to simply follow the current plan [apw] at the beginning of the descriptio10:34
pittithat would work too, right10:34
apwpitti, does it work now?10:34
pittinot  with current workitems.py10:35
pittibut I can hack it in10:35
pitti(TODO|INPROGRESS|POSTPONED) (.*) ||10:35
pittiwhere the middle .* would be the assignee10:35
apwyeah that is what i am doing as things stand10:36
apwmy version of your workitems doesn't flatten INPROGRESS to TODO as i care which are being worked10:36
pittiI'll fix that as well10:37
apwpitti, i am also parsing out the wiki pages in a slightly differnt way10:37
apwone which lets me see the titles of the sections so our page shows up as four sections on my report10:37
pittiapw: oh, hang on, it just looks for DONE/POSTPONED, and treats everything else as TODO10:38
pittiso it works with INPROGRESS10:38
apwfor my purpose i need to tell them appart at the consumer of that API so i've frigged it to keep that too10:38
apwi use the same data to produce this:10:38
apwhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/ReleaseStatus/Lucid10:38
apwnote the two tables below your burn down chart10:39
apw<pitti> (TODO|INPROGRESS|POSTPONED) (.*) ||   <-- note that this is probabally needs to be10:39
apw(TODO|INPROGRESS|POSTPONED)( (.*))? ||10:40

pittiapw: http://piware.de/workitems/kernel/lucid/report.html -> one less for "nobody", one more for you now10:44
apwpitti, 'yay'10:44
apwpitti, how do you determine the owner of the blueprnt, doesn't seem to be a workitems.py call for it :)10:45

apwyou interested in being able to get status and title for each group in the wiki page?10:50
apwi've got a fn which looks at the wiki page as a collection of groups not one big group10:50
pittigroup -> any heading?10:51
pittiyes, that could be useful10:51
pittiin the report, the wiki page could appear as one line per wiki page section instead of just one line for the entire page10:51
apwyeah i am using the == xxx == as the title of the blueprint, the text before the table as the blueprint status: text, and the table as you do10:51
apwyeah thats exactly what i do in my lucid status page10:52

Keybukooh, second ubuntu theme music of the day from upstairs13:12
Keybuktwb: isn't "firefox" our equivalent of "iceweasel"?13:13
sorenKeybuk: We have an unbranded version of Firefox.13:17
sorenKeybuk: That is not to say that our version of Firefox is unbranded, but rather that we have an unbranded version as well as the branded version.13:18
Keybukah13:18
twbOh.  I assumed firefox-branding was there as part of a transition, because you were tired of MoCo being asses.13:19
cjwatsontwb: as I understand it, it's because we're based off upstream rather than Debian (because Mozilla wanted us to do a better job of patch forwarding in order to use their trademark), and calling it "iceweasel" implied that we were based on the Debian package13:19
twbcjwatson: that makes sense13:19
cjwatsonand we didn't want to maintain two entirely separate packages, but rather one with tweakable branding13:20

pitticjwatson: in general, no; however, you should poke me when you are "by and large" done with setting up WIs, so that I can trash the db and start over, or alternatively adjust the start position of the trend line14:01

Tm_Ttormod: I heard there's been similar issues with nVidia too14:42
Tm_Twell, don't know if similar but some issues anyway14:43

mannyvif anyone is around and cares to weigh in on a strategy , I would like/am willing to write a little script that takes the difference between two debdiffs. debdiff  ver1 vs ver2 and debdiff ver1-ubuntu# vs ver2. This would leave only ubuntu changes that have not been incorporated into ver215:14
cjwatsonmannyv: interdiff15:15
cjwatson(patchutils package)15:15
mannyvcjwatson, I have tried interdiff  and I get this error 'interdiff: Error applying patch1 to reconstructed file'15:16
nixternalkirkland: you around to lend a hand with an enrypted disk that I can't access...something blew up last night :(15:17
mannyvof course I cant rule out that i have called it incorrectly but i have tried a few different ways15:17
Keybukmannyv: interdiff requires that you turn thrice widdershins and annoint the computer with the yolk of a furling egg15:19
mannyvKeybuk, i was telling maco just the other day that despite everyones claim computers really are run on magic. glad you agree =)15:21
KeybukI think the problem is that patch1 and patch2 have to have a common base15:23
Keybukyou can't take two slightly different based patches and interdiff them15:23
Keybukbzr is easier ;)15:23
ionYeah, definitely use a VCS.15:23
mannyvwell i use it to help me see if a package can be synced15:24
Keybukbzr can help there too ;)15:24
mannyvim listening15:24
Keybukbzr diff --old lp:debian/pkg --new lp:ubuntu/pkg15:24
ebroderwhoa - that's awesome15:25
Keybukebroder: you can branch, you can commit, you can push (if you have upload rights)15:25
Keybukjames_w is made of awesome15:25
ebroderKeybuk: Wait - uploads via bzr push works now? Shiny15:26
Keybukebroder: no, you still have to separately dput15:26
Keybukthat's one of the last key pieces (dput with bzr)15:26
nixternalkirkland: don't worry about it...I am just gonna reinstall...most of my stuff was under one vcs or another, so it shouldn't be all that devistating15:26
ebroderdo what does it mean to push to lp:ubuntu/pkg? or are you saying that i can push to my own branch?15:26
ebroders/^do/so/15:26
Keybukebroder: it publishes the code *with revision control history*15:27
Keybukso if you merged from debian15:27
Keybukand added other patches15:27
Keybukand committed each separately, then the push means the next person to branch gets your history too15:27
Keybukotherwise if you just upload, you get a new revision that contains your entire upload as one diff15:27
ebroderKeybuk: interesting. so if i push to lp:ubuntu/pkg, and then upload, will there be an additional no-op commit from the dput?15:28
Keybukno15:28
cjwatsonmannyv: then fix interdiff rather than writing a new script, please :)15:29
ebroderi guess it doesn't create the commit if there's no diff or something?15:29
cjwatsonwe don't need multiple programs for the same job that are broken in different ways15:29
cjwatsonbut yes, there's bzr too15:29
cjwatsonpatch1 and patch2 don't *actually* have to have a completely common base for interdiff to work; there's a good deal of heuristics in there15:30
cjwatsonbut sometimes it does run into trouble15:30
mok0I'd like to change the kernel personality of my workstation to server. What's the best way to do that?15:32

pitti(please tell me when to move it to hourly)15:35

sbalneavtkamppeter: Hey there, sorry, was in a meeting.  I'm digging into bug# 307471...17:40
sbalneavSo, part of the problem associated with this bug has to do with the entire pstopdf subsystem.17:40
sbalneavSpecifically, the fact that pstopdf completely ignores/strips any %%IncludeFeature directives.  In fact, it ignores most %%'s.17:41
sbalneavSo what I was wondering was: what was the purpose of moving to the pstopdf system in the first place?  What problem were we trying to solve by doing that?  And, more specifically, what will I break if I adjust some mime.convs to have OPenOffice.org files bypass the pstopdf, and simply pass through the pstops filter?17:43
