Quintasanbug #500218    anyone can reproduce this?02:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 500218 in qemu-kvm "*** glibc detected *** qemu: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000e44b10 ***" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50021802:12
dhillon-v10Quintasan, I did see a conversation in the upstream kernel about glibc creating invalid pointers at the first available slot in the memory (0x0000000000e44b10) which is basically 0001 and its deleting the memory which causes it to crash, possible to run it from gdb02:20
Quintasandhillon-v10: well, thanks, I think my is exacly the same because the only thing that differs in mine case is the memory address02:31
dhillon-v10Quintasan, can you do me a favour: give the same command but this time through gdb, I can read the stacktrace and see what happened :D02:32
Quintasanhmm trough gdb?02:33
Quintasandhillon-v10: how do I do that?02:33
dhillon-v10Quintasan, yup, I know running qemu would take a lot but just try it out02:33
dhillon-v10Quintasan, just a sec. I'll give you the command :)02:33
Quintasandhillon-v10: just wondering, is there a package with debugging symbols for kvm?02:36
dhillon-v10Quintasan, most likely there should be one, let me check but it might not work here, because we are dealing with memory addresses and memory being deleted before it can be called02:37
Quintasanwell okay, I was playing with dbg and I tried to run kvm from it but it said "no debugging symbols found"02:39
dhillon-v10Quintasan, sorry no debugging symbols for kvm in synaptic02:39
Quintasandhillon-v10: okay, so how I'm supposed to provide you useful stacktrace? :)02:40
dhillon-v10Quintasan, just a sec. I spilled coffee so I am getting yelled at :)02:40

bdrungari-tczew: why is in the diff for xsmbrowser version 3.4.0-16.1 in debian/changelog?15:12
bdrungari-tczew: you should remove "Encoding=UTF-8" from the desktop file15:14
ari-tczewI don't understand why about version?15:14

bdrungfabrice_sp: i am taking 502589, too.15:14
fabrice_spbdrung, ok. Taking 50250415:15
bdrungari-tczew: the diff between Debian and Ubuntu should only contain changelog entries from Ubuntu and none from Debian.15:15
ari-tczewthis is created by grab-merge15:16
fabrice_spari-tczew, you should review the merge before submitting it, and not rely on tools15:16
ari-tczewI did review15:16
ari-tczewand I first one hear about none changes from Debian in debian/changelog15:17
bdrungari-tczew: and it fails to apply.15:18
fabrice_spin a debdiff between debian and Ubuntu, you shouldn't see any Debian entry15:18
fabrice_sponly ubuntu one (even if I haven't looked at this debdiff in particular)15:18
bdrungari-tczew: it's not the first time grab-merge failed.15:20
ari-tczewbdrung, second debdiff attached, refresh page15:21
* fabrice_sp always do the merge by hand :-D15:21
* bdrung does a merge by hand or with git / bzr15:22
ari-tczewI'll do merges with bzr, but not this time15:23
bdrungari-tczew: debian/changelog is not correct. now there are changelog entries missing15:24
ari-tczewomg...15:24
bdrungari-tczew: i recommend to read the diff file before posting.15:25
ari-tczewbdrung, could you did correct diff for debian/changelog and paste anywhere? I'll update debian/changelog with your example15:25
bdrungafter a while you can read diffs faster than books ;)15:25

ari-tczewwhat is it? any changes from Debian?15:27
bdrungari-tczew: no, that are the sourrounding three lines for diff (look at the lines starting with + or -)15:28

bdrungyes, sru is missing there. contact dholbach for that.15:34
ari-tczewgenerally I guess that SRU and Security updates are neglected15:35

bdrungfabrice_sp: i have a small check-sync script and a local mirror from lucid.15:38
bdrungari-tczew: do you have an updated debdiff for xsmbrowser?15:38

bdrungari-tczew: i will15:42
fabrice_spbdrung, willing to have a look at fceux, now that there isn't anything to sponsor? :-D15:43

bdrungfabrice_sp: why do you want to upload fceux to Ubuntu and not to Debian?15:52
fabrice_spTBH, I find it a lot more difficult to upload to Debian15:53
fabrice_spand I was hosting it in my ppa since almost one year15:53
bdrungfabrice_sp: it's not that hard. you only have to make it lintian clean - and then find a sponsor. finding a sponsor can be sometimes be tricky15:53
* Yagisan wonders why "I use Ubuntu" isn't simply a good enough answer15:54
ari-tczew~ubuntu-archive subscribed bugs over than 200!15:54

ubottuUbuntu bug 310015 in ubuntu "[needs-packaging] pgfplots" [Wishlist,Confirmed]17:50
bdrungjreinhardt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess17:52
siretart... so many spurious hilights here...17:52
bdrungsiretart: ?17:52
siretartmy first name is 'reinhard'17:52
siretartjreinhardt: isn't pgfplots included in texlive 2009?17:53
bdrungah17:53
siretart(I honestly have no idea)17:53
keessiretart: need to trigger on \breinhard\b :)17:53
siretartkees: does irssi support that?17:54
keessiretart: well, it's not pcre, so I do [^a-zA-Z] instead of \b.  /hilight -regexp17:55
keessiretart: I also use the trigger.pl script17:55
siretartjreinhardt: if pgfplots is included in TL2009, I'd refrain from packaging it seperately, but work on getting TL2009 included instead17:55
siretartkees: ah, thanks.17:55
siretartwell, I wanted to get rid of irssi anyways in favor of rcirc, but useful to know anyways...17:56
doctormoI'm trying to upload a release to launchpad using the lp-project-upload script, but it's expecting to find an asc file, I have no way of generating such a file, gnupg is rather cryptic.18:00
azeemdoctormo: sounds like a question for #launchpad18:00
jpdsdoctormo: gpg --clearsign <filename>, will make filename.asc.18:01
doctormothanks jpds, it's amazing that the script doesn't do it18:02
jpdsIt does.18:03
jpdsdoctormo: Strange: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-dev/ubuntu-dev-tools/trunk/annotate/head%3A/lp-project-upload#L8818:04
jpdsdoctormo: Hmm, probably used the wrong command to sign it then...18:05
doctormohuh, the error I'm getting now is in #launchpad18:05
jpdsdoctormo: Try with: gpg --armor --sign --detach-sig tarball.tar.gz.18:06
fabrice_spin a format 3.0 (quilt) source format, the patches still goes into debian/patches?18:07
ari-tczewbdrung, I've changed Categories=Settings; to Categories=System; is it correct now?18:11
doctormojpds: worked, thanks18:12
cyphermoxfabrice_sp, afaik, yes :)18:12
fabrice_spyeah: it seems that QUILT_PATCHES does not point to the right place in my case :-/18:13
cyphermoxit seemed to make sense to me to always have it as debian/patches, nevermind what others may say/think18:14
fabrice_spI have it set to debian/patches in my main workstation (not the one I ma using right now :-/ )18:16
bdrungari-tczew: sorry, you can change the category back. the lintian warning is about the debian/xsmbrowser.menu file. because we do not change it in ubuntu, we should not change it for a lintian warning18:23
ari-tczewbdrung, so upload current attached debdiff18:24
ari-tczewquestion, can all MOTU members give ACK on FFe request?18:30
Laneyno18:31
fabrice_sponly motu-release members18:37
fabrice_sphmm: should be ubuntu-release, now18:38
bdrungari-tczew: uploaded18:40
bdrungari-tczew: no18:40
ScottKfabrice_sp: We haven't merged yet.18:41
ari-tczewwhat's the difference between motu-release and ubuntu-release?18:42
fabrice_spbefore the archive reorg, motu-release was responsible for universe/multiverse and ubuntu-release for main18:44
fabrice_spwith the archive reorg, I can't remember if motu-release will be merged with ubuntu-release or not18:45
fabrice_spthanks ScottK. Missed your comment18:47
ari-tczewso now how is it? no difference with subscribing ubuntu/motu -release?18:53
fabrice_spari-tczew, for the moment: universe/multiverse => motu-release, main => ubuntu-release18:56
randomactionwhy would you want do do it *now*, before FF?18:56
ari-tczewinformation for future ;)19:01
adhordenhi, whats the best way to create a meta package? Do I just need a control file that just depends on my other packages?19:08
jreinhardtbdrung: thank you19:17
jreinhardtsiretart: Sorry for the noise :) Regarding texlive: pgfplots was also part of texlive 2008. I packaged pgfplots mostly to scratch my own itch. Do you know if there is any chance for texlive 2009 to arrive in the archives in the foreseeable future?19:24
geserit depends on how fast texlive 2009 stabilizes in Debian19:25
randomactionat least they already have it in unstable19:27
siretartjreinhardt: well, in theory it is just a sync away, texlive has reached unstable since a couple of weeks already and the maintainer has already started a thread on debian-release about its migration to testing19:27
jreinhardtok, then I will keep the package in my ppa and not bother anybody about it anymore :) Thank you19:31
jreinhardtwhat shall I do with the package on REVU? Can I somehow indicate that it is not necessary to review it?19:34
fabrice_spjreinhardt, you can 'delete' it in revu19:35
siretartfabrice_sp: I implemented that button so that it is restricted to revu admins. has this been changed?19:36
siretartjreinhardt: just make a comment, perhaps someone still finds the package useful19:36
jreinhardtsiretart: ok, thank you. I was still searching for the delete button :)19:37
fabrice_spsiretart, IIRC, the uplaoder can delete his own package19:40
* fabrice_sp is checking19:40
fabrice_spok: it's archive, not delete19:41
emmaunquery19:53
fabrice_spsiretart, is revu aware of source format 3.0 (quilt)? I've just uploaded one, and it says that the package could not be extracted20:14
fabrice_spbdrung, if you're still here: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/fceux updated20:14
siretartfabrice_sp: AFAIR spooky still runs hardy, and it is well possible that hardy's dpkg-source does not understand format 3 yet20:19
siretartyes, spooky is still in hardy, we would need a dpkg backport on sparc. then20:21
troy43Hi!, some expert in PPA?, I own a PPA to distribute my program, it has a jaunty published package, how can I updated it to karmic? Am I supposed to recompile it in a karmic pc and upload it again or can the ubuntu buildroots do this for me from the ppa webpage?20:23

bdrungari-tczew: instead of sending the whole debdiff to debian, you should extract the relevant part of it (in this case remove the changes to debian/changelog and debian/control)21:50
bdrungporthose: first sync request, that i do not ack directly22:01
porthosebdrung, yep should have been a merge :(22:12
* porthose fixes22:13
bdrungporthose: time to sponsor your first merge? ;)22:13
porthosecool will ping you when I have it ready :)22:14
bdrungporthose: then hurry - i will go to sleep soon ;)22:20
porthosebdrung, how about I ping you tomorrow then :)22:21
bdrungdunno if i have time then22:21
ari-tczewbdrung, I mean like you said, but I think hmmm - interesting whether Debian maintainer is very lazy for review attached debdiff ;-)22:37
bdrungari-tczew: the less work a maintainer have to do, the higher the change of getting it accepted.22:39
bdrungari-tczew: for example: i prefer sponsoring sync, because they are easier/faster to review than merges22:40
ari-tczewbdrung, easy, I know Ubuntu politics for Debian - minimalize delta as smaller as possible, prefer to sync from Debian ;)22:43
bdrungyes22:44
ari-tczewbdrung, how are you think, do I have chance to join MOTU?22:46
bdrungari-tczew: from today i would say, that more experience won't hurt. why don't you apply for Ubuntu Contributor first?22:47
ari-tczewwhy that?22:49
ari-tczewwhat's the difference? what give me Ubuntu Contributor first?22:50
maxbContributing Developer is a special case of Ubuntu Membership where the membership-qualifying activity is packaging22:52
ari-tczewwow22:53
porthosebdrung, arrghhh this could take a while, the merged package fails to build :(22:54
ari-tczewhuh, not only me have problems today ;-]22:55
bdrungari-tczew: details: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers22:56
kkszysiuhello22:57
ari-tczewbureaucracy, bureaucracy, and one more bureaucracy... I don't have time for reading while a long articles on wiki.ubuntu, because I don't know about one phrase.22:58
ari-tczewhello kkrzysiu22:58
bdrungari-tczew: then read only the "Ubuntu Contributing Developers" section22:59
kkszysiuwhat I should do when I want to put my package into Ubuntu official repos?22:59
ari-tczewkkszysiu, make this package23:00
ari-tczewthis is new package?23:00
kkszysiuyes23:00
kkszysiugadu gadu support in telepathy23:00
ari-tczewread about REVU23:00
kkszysiumostylu for users from Poland23:00
bdrungkkszysiu: or bring it into Debian23:00
ari-tczewkkszysiu I know what is gg :D23:01
kkszysiuah youre from PL xD23:01
ari-tczewyeah, is it possible to pack only script into telepathy package?23:01
kkszysiunope, its stand alone package like other connection managers for telepathy23:02
ari-tczewkkszysiu, from my point-of-view, better is create package in Debian first, this is more professionally23:03
kkszysiuhmm23:03
ari-tczewyou will Debian Maintainer ;-)23:03
kkszysiuany tuts, please? :P Because it is not standard package and I dont know how to generate setup.py and other stuff like that23:04
kkszysiufor now Im using py2deb to generate package23:04
bdrungari-tczew: it's easier to bring new packages to ubuntu through debian.23:04
kkszysiubut thats not pretty good23:04
ari-tczewbdrung, I know23:05
bdrungkkszysiu: it's easier to bring new packages to ubuntu through debian.23:06
ari-tczewbdrung, I decided, that I'll try to join MOTU in April23:06
bdrungk23:06
bdrungari-tczew: how long are you doing packaging?23:07
ari-tczewI'm very busy now by very important project until end of March23:07
ari-tczewbdrung, March 200923:07
ari-tczewI worked on my first package with you23:07
ari-tczewgwget 1.0.1-0ubuntu123:08
bdrung:)23:08
dhillon-v10bdrung, how many packages do you have to build before you can join MOTU, is there like a limit23:08
bdrungari-tczew: IIRC gwget was an example in our packaging jam session23:09
bdrungdhillon-v10: there is no hard limit. it depends on the person; how fast they learn.23:10
bdrungdhillon-v10: it's all about gathering experience.23:10
geserdhillon-v10: there is no limit, but the DMB has to judge somehow your packaging expierence and sponsored uploads are a way to do it23:10
bdrungdhillon-v10: i would recommend to work on ubuntu at least a half year, so that you go through a whole release cycle23:11
ari-tczewnow I think that it's better if I'll join MOTU for next development release (10.10)23:11
dhillon-v10geser, I have had like 6 packages sponsored, and I filed quite a bit of sync/merge reports, I guess I still have to wait for a while, I still make some silly mistakes like the one you corrected the other day23:11
dhillon-v10bdrung, I have been working with ubuntu since 9.04 so :)23:12
dhillon-v10bdrung, well before that but started developing around that time23:12
dhillon-v10geser, you are in DMB right? how many packages would you like to see getting sponsored, just an estimate23:13
bdrungdhillon-v10: you should become Ubuntu Contributing Developers at least23:14
dhillon-v10bdrung, what is that, like a middle step for MOTU, i read about something like that on the wiki23:16
bdrungdhillon-v10: is it's a middle step. Ubuntu Contributing Developer will contain Ubuntu membership (with email address, etc)23:17
geserI'm in the MC (which is currently being merged into the DMB). It's hard to tell, as you should contribute for around a release to know each phase (and its policies), getting one upload sponsored each week (on average) shouldn't be that hard, so that would be around 30 sponsored uploads23:18
dhillon-v10bdrung, sorry I am taking a lot of your time, here's my wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/dhillonv10/ do you think I'll make it to contributing developer23:19
dhillon-v10geser, alright thanks :)23:19
dhillon-v10geser, alright that seems sensible and not too hard :D so I'll wait for 10.1023:19
ari-tczewdhillon-v10, you're welcome23:20
bdrungdhillon-v10: how old are you?23:20
dhillon-v10bdrung, I am 1723:20
ari-tczewmaybe 10?23:20
dhillon-v10ari-tczew, no :)23:20
micahgis there any special group for prospective developers?23:20
ari-tczewdhillon-v10, could you change your IRC nick to more easier?23:21
bdrungari-tczew: he is the tenth clone (-> version 10) ;)23:21
dhillon-v10ari-tczew, is my wiki that bad ?23:21
ari-tczewbdrung, maybe 10 source format? :D23:21
dhillon-v10bdrung, lol yup my other 9 clones are doing packaging :)23:21
bdrungdhillon-v10: your irc nick indicated the 1023:22
dhillon-v10bdrung, yah the 10th clone is the one talking to you :D23:22
ari-tczewI think that if you'll have nick "Vikram", it's easier to write and remember23:22
dhillon-v10ari-tczew, alright I'll change my nice :)23:23
dhillon-v10*nick23:23
ari-tczewspecially if you want to join MOTU, you'll active on IRC, so I recommend you to change nick23:24
=== dhillon-v10 is now known as vikram
LaneyI don't think it matters23:25
vikramari-tczew, okay so how about now23:26
ari-tczewLaney, IIRC you always have conservative point-of-views23:27
ari-tczewvikram, looks better than previously23:27
LaneyI have what?23:28
bdrungdhillon-v10: you are part of the community and know many people, you have contributed to ubuntu. six uploads is not much. if you want, you can apply for ubuntu-contributors. it will needs some week till then and in this time you can do some more uploads23:28
bdrungvikram: ^23:28
micahgso, 30 uploads is standard for universe-contributors?23:29
ari-tczewLaney, it's hard to talk about in english, this is polish phrase23:29
bdrungari-tczew, vikram: i think it help, if irc nick = launchpad nick23:29
vikrambdrung, alright thanks, should I change my nick back ??23:29
ari-tczewbdrung, always my LP nick = IRC nick IIRC ;-)23:29
bdrungvikram: use the nick, that you prefer23:29
gesermicahg: no, that's for MOTU (but no requirement more a personal rule of thumb)23:30
ari-tczew30 uploads including syncs?23:30
vikrambdrung, most people know me as dhillon-v10 so I'll just stick to that, sorry ari-tczew23:30
=== vikram is now known as dhillon-v10
geseryes, syncs, merges, bug fixes23:30
ari-tczewdone23:31
LaneyI would imagine a range of work would help23:31
dhillon-v10geser, my problem is that I contribute to upstream linux kernel and do patches there so they don't count for Ubuntu23:31
gesermicahg: for universe-contributors around 5 uploads would be nice (so we know that you mean it for real) (again that's no requirement)23:33
bdrungdhillon-v10: but working upstream does not count as packaging ;)23:33
dhillon-v10bdrung, that is true :)23:33
dhillon-v10geser, so I am eligible for universe-contributors nice :D23:34
ari-tczewhmmm, so Universe Contributors is like a queue for MOTU23:34
ScottKdhillon-v10: You're eligible to apply, but that is also supposed to be based on sustained contribution.23:34
ScottKari-tczew: It can be if you want to become an Ubuntu member first.  It's not required.23:35
micahggeser: is there an advantage for me to apply for universe-contributors as a stepping stone to MOTU since I'm already an Ubuntu member?23:36
cyberix_lintian debugging tool gives me a warning of missing soname for libkunquat.so23:36
bdrungari-tczew: you can see it as probationary period23:36
cyberix_libkunquat developer asks me how to test, if he has managed to fix the problem23:36
geserari-tczew: not directly, but your (sustained and substancial) contributions to Ubuntu development qualify for Ubuntu membership (other ways are e.g. bug triaging or LoCo work)23:37
cyberix_So23:37
gesermicahg: not really (unless you want a badge more on your LP page :)23:37
cyberix_How does one check, if an so-file is missing and soname or not?23:37
ari-tczewheh, so what's doing MOTU? geser23:37
micahggeser: not worth it...I guess I'll wait till after Lucid and maybe have enough uploads to apply for MOTU23:38
geserMOTU gives uploads rights to the universe (and multiverse) component (and of course Ubuntu membership too)23:38
ari-tczewI want to join MOTU because I want uploading packages themselve and ACKing syncs23:38
ScottKThen there's really no reason to bother with UUC.23:39
* ari-tczew is confused23:39
dhillon-v10ScottK, I guess I can just wait for a while until I have a bunch of uploads and then just apply for MOTU23:39
geserari-tczew: in what way confused?23:40
ari-tczewas you said geser, MOTU and Ubuntu membership both gives uploads rights to the universe23:40
ari-tczewso what's the difference between UUC and MOTU23:41
ari-tczew...23:41
bdrungdhillon-v10: i recommend to become contributor first23:41
geserno, Ubuntu membership gives no upload rights (but MOTUs are also Ubuntu members)23:41
ScottKdhillon-v10: I would encourage you to be a little more focused and show clearly you know what you are doing.  I've seen you say you're going to do stuff and it doesn't happen.  My first interaction with you was when you gave a completely bogus reply to a soyuz question I'd asked.  If you get an reputation for unreliability, you may never get to be a MOTU.23:41
ari-tczewnosense23:41
ScottKari-tczew: UUC is about membership.  Nothing to do with upload rights.23:42
ari-tczewwow! (ironic)23:42
ScottKHow so?23:42
RAOFcyberix_: “objdump -x /path/to/libfoo.so | grep SONAME"23:43

dhillon-v10ScottK, really? what question was that? I know I am stupid but now that stupid :)23:44
bdrungari-tczew: UUC = Ubuntu Contributing Developer = member of ubuntu-contributors23:44
bdrungcyphermox: because it's a merge from Debian.23:44
Laneycyphermox: because that shows the changes you made more clearly23:45
gesercyphermox: a debdiff between Debian and Ubuntu makes the review easier (the remaining Ubuntu changes are easier to spot) as we usually don't review the Debian changes23:45
cyphermoxok.23:45
ScottKdhillon-v10: You told me I was supposed to mark if a response had resolved my question when I had already done so.  It makes me question if you have the attention to detail necessary for being a MOTU.23:45
cyphermoxbecause 501697 was uploaded and was a ubuntu-ubuntu debdiff, hence why I'm a little confused23:45
ari-tczewok guys, I'm going to bed, bye23:46
