| cjwatson | kirkland: probably means that the script does some other things in shell before forking the main process, and upstart follows the first fork | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | even 'if [ ... ]' can cause that | 00:00 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| ion | Yeah, it’s very easy to break current Upstart’s fork following code. 0.10 will fix that issue. | 00:01 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/352593/ | 00:01 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: modeled off of ssh.conf | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | well, that looks ok, maybe libvirt forks twice? | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | libvirtd that is | 00:01 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: must be | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | if so, 'expect daemon' | 00:02 |
| * slangasek nods | 00:02 | |
| kirkland | cjwatson: would that be causing my problems stopping the job? | 00:02 |
| slangasek | certainly | 00:02 |
| cjwatson | yes, there's a bug where you can completely bugger upstart to the point where you have to reboot | 00:02 |
| kirkland | fwiw, libvirtd does write its own pid file | 00:02 |
| slangasek | upstart doesn't have any secret ways to stop jobs, it uses the same PID information that it reports to you with 'status' :) | 00:03 |
| cjwatson | I don't believe upstart cares about pid files | 00:03 |
| slangasek | indeed not | 00:03 |
| cjwatson | indeed the general philosophy of upstart is that pid files are obsolete | 00:03 |
| kirkland | slangasek: okey doke | 00:03 |
| ion | cjwatson: How *does* one get Upstart to a state you need a reboot to fix? :-) | 00:03 |
| douglasawh-work | cjwatson: this is the pull command: ssh target_address dd if=remotefile | dd of=localfile | 00:04 |
| kirkland | slangasek: cjwatson: \o/ | 00:04 |
| cjwatson | ion: I forget, but I did it while writing ssh.conf and Keybuk said "oh, yeah, known bug" | 00:04 |
| kirkland | "expect daemon" worked like a champ | 00:04 |
| cjwatson | douglasawh-work: well, grub2 doesn't store anything anywhere magic, it just puts it on the disk with everything else ... | 00:05 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: so your comment in ssh.conf, about editing the exec line, rather than /etc/default/* ... i mimic'd that.... is that correct, or lazy? | 00:05 |
| cjwatson | douglasawh-work: I don't understand how your *encryption* is laid out, though. when you get time, could you please file a bug with full details of what you're trying to make work? | 00:05 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: it's following strong preference from Keybuk | 00:05 |
| douglasawh-work | cjwatson: yeah, that's what I thought, but it doesn't work. I'm just using the alternate cd full disk encryption | 00:05 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: besides, after starting to use upstart's oom feature, there really wasn't that much left in /etc/default/ssh | 00:06 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: yeah, there's nothing of value (except for "-d" == deamonize") in /etc/default/libvirt-bin | 00:06 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i'm on board ;-) | 00:06 |
| cjwatson | douglasawh-work: (I'm partly asking for a bug because unfortunately I don't really have time to look into this right now) | 00:07 |
| douglasawh-work | cjwatson: I'll file a bug. I just mainly wanted to make sure it wasn't already fixed in lucid before submitting | 00:08 |
| cjwatson | douglasawh-work: not to my knowledge, but then I didn't know it was broken :) | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | so it's always possible I missed something | 00:09 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: slangasek: what do I need to do to get the server ISO build cronjob changed? File an RT? | 00:10 |
| cjwatson | ion: bug 406397 | 00:10 |

| kirkland | cjwatson: heh | 00:11 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: if you want to file a bug, file it on the ubuntu-cdimage project, but it's probably quicker to just ask somebody in the ubuntu-cdimage team ... | 00:11 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: send you chocolate, then? | 00:11 |
| slangasek | kirkland: close your eyes, click your heels three times, and 'bzr update' to reveal that it's already been done | 00:11 |
| kirkland | slangasek: ah, send slangasek chocolate :-) | 00:11 |
| slangasek | assuming you mean 'run ubuntu-server earlier' :) | 00:11 |
| kirkland | slangasek: yeah, thanks | 00:11 |

| Shiran | hi anyone know how can i get involved with ubuntu developmenting? | 00:21 |
| cjwatson | Shiran: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 00:27 |
| Shiran | yea yea i don't get it | 00:28 |
| Shiran | i registered myself in launchpad | 00:28 |
| Shiran | and i dont get how to find stuff to work on in there | 00:28 |
| cjwatson | Shiran: you won't find that an effective way to get started, no. It's much more effective to find something that you actually want to work on (e.g. a bug that's annoying you personally) and work on that | 00:30 |
| cjwatson | Launchpad has *everything*, it's a bit like wandering into a field and looking for an interesting blade of grass | 00:30 |
| cjwatson | you can try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu but it will still be overload :) | 00:30 |
| Shiran | i wanna get involved with programming | 00:31 |
| Shiran | isn't there a way to find teams that work on stuff that need more people? | 00:31 |
| cjwatson | it is much more effective to decide what you want to work on and then look for a relevant team | 00:32 |
| cjwatson | "programming" is a bit too vague for this purpose, try to narrow it down :) | 00:32 |
| Shiran | how can i narrow it down? | 00:32 |
| cjwatson | based on your interests | 00:32 |
| Shiran | my interest is writing code | 00:33 |
| cjwatson | yes, try to be a bit more specific :) | 00:33 |
| Shiran | im not sure i can :P | 00:33 |
| Shiran | c++ | 00:34 |
| Shiran | is that more specific? | 00:34 |
| cjwatson | not really, but it may help you to find (for example) some programs already installed on your system that are written in that language that you might like to help with | 00:34 |
| cjwatson | distributions, by their nature, are rather more involved in integrating existing code from elsewhere than they are in writing lots of new code, although of course some of the latter does happen | 00:35 |
| cjwatson | so if you want to work in the context of a distribution, you're generally talking about either maintaining existing code (bug-fixes, feature enhancements, etc.) or finding one of the areas where the distribution is trying to distinguish itself | 00:36 |
| Shiran | isn't there a way to find teams of programmers? | 00:36 |

| alkisg | TheMuso: Hi, Ubuntu doesn't work with libsdl1.2debian-alsa, but it does work with the pulseaudio variants. The same is true for LTSP (thin clients). Could we make it so that either libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio or libsdl1.2debian-all are installed when an Ubuntu user installs an SDL-using app? | 06:39 |
| alkisg | For libsdl1.2debian-all to work with pulse, SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse needs to be in the environment, but than can be taken care of by e.g. LTSP. | 06:40 |
| persia | alkisg: The simple way to do that is to just adjust the relative dependencies of apps. My memory is that we spent a lot of time changing to use -alsa some time back, and those changes can probably be reverted. | 06:48 |
| alkisg | persia: then those apps wouldn't work in kubuntu... | 06:49 |
| alkisg | (and also, they're 387 on them using sdl in my current installation) | 06:49 |
| persia | I thought the phonon pulse backend was first-class now. | 06:49 |
| persia | Is the vlc backend still default? | 06:49 |
| alkisg | I don't use Kubuntu or Xubuntu, but I was told that those still need -alsa | 06:50 |
| persia | I haven't looked at it for lucid, but I believe the blocker for Xubuntu was xfce4-mixer running into bugs with gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio, which I thought were fixed. | 06:51 |
| persia | For Kubuntu, the issue is all about having a fully-featured pulse backend for phonon so that users don't end up without sound. I don't know the status on that. | 06:52 |
| alkisg | OK, so the plan is to switch all derivatives to using pulseaudio? That's fine, but why then do we have libsdl1.2debian depend on libsdl1.2debian-alsa first? Shouldn't we switch that to -pulseaudio? | 06:52 |
| persia | But I don't know of any way (other than including in the default install) of preferring alternate libsdl implementations based on flavour, especially for people who use subsets of flavours. | 06:52 |
| persia | My personal opinion is that everything should use pulse, and we should make that switch. I don't imply that this is an official plan. | 06:53 |
| persia | It's just the easiest way to get out of the mess. | 06:53 |
| alkisg | persia: the packaging problem can be solved with libsdl1.2debian-all, as this contains support for all backends | 06:54 |
| persia | I know there was discussion about it at UDS Karmic, but I don't remember follow-up discussion at UDS Lucid. | 06:54 |
| persia | alkisg: Well, except that then each flavour has to somehow handle setting SDL_AUDIODRIVER in some way. | 06:54 |
| persia | Unless you want to change libsdl1.2debian-all to be smart enough to use pulse if it is available and fall back to alsa if it isn't. | 06:55 |
| alkisg | Right | 06:55 |
| alkisg | I think that's the best plan, it would work out of the box in all cases, and it would still enable some extreme user to select his own output | 06:56 |
| persia | Right. | 06:56 |
| alkisg | ...and it's already in main, while libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio isn't. | 06:56 |
| persia | Well, I think that if we're going to default to pulse if it's available, it's worth putting together an MIR for libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio. | 06:58 |
| persia | Actually, looking at it, it doesn't even need an MIR. It just needs to get pulled with a dependency. The source is already in main. | 06:59 |
| alkisg | I was going to write one, but I don't think that's needed, -all is still the best plan even if we want the default output to pulse, as it enables users to select their own output | 06:59 |
| persia | Well, except we need -all to recommend -pulseaudio if we want the default to be pulse | 06:59 |
| alkisg | No - it conflicts with -pulseaudio | 07:00 |
| persia | Ah, and it already includes the pulse bits. | 07:00 |
| alkisg | Right | 07:00 |
| * persia hasn't actually looked at libSDL for far too long | 07:00 | |
| * alkisg is a teacher and unfortunately he gets complains for all sdl-based edu* apps :( | 07:01 | |
| persia | Well, that's a good thing. Helps highlight the issue. | 07:01 |
| persia | Of course, it quickly becomes a bad thing if we can't fix it. | 07:01 |
| alkisg | Also, crimsun has said that -alsa with be patched to work even when pulseaudio is installed (I don't know the details). In that case, all workstation users will be satisfied, as SDL apps will work out of the box. But LTSP users wouldn't be satisfied because they'd require pulseaudio output as the sound goes through the network. In that case, LTSP could set SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse, and everyone is satisfied again. | 07:04 |
| persia | Well, except it's a bit of a hack doing it that way. | 07:04 |
| persia | Yes, ALSA can route clients into pulse which then routes back into ALSA which then routes to ears. | 07:04 |
| persia | But it'd be cleaner if the apps talked to pulse directly. | 07:04 |
| alkisg | Right, the correct way would be for Ubuntu to use libsdl1.2debian-all, and for -all to use pulse if it's available, else fall back to alsa. | 07:05 |
| alkisg | So, 2 things need to be done: a small change in libsdl1.2debian dependencies, and a code fix in -all. | 07:06 |
| persia | Well, that's the least invasive way to do it. I still think everything should use pulse :) | 07:06 |
| alkisg | In that case, libsdl1.2debian should me modified to depend on -pulseaudio first. But we proposed that already, and it looked like it wasn't going to happen (because of K|Xubuntu), at least in the Lucid time frame... | 07:08 |
| alkisg | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/203158 | 07:08 |
| persia | Right, but that requires testing/changes to phonon and xfce4-mixer | 07:09 |
| persia | If that work is done, then the bug can proceed. | 07:09 |
| persia | The detection code in libsdl1.2debian-all is just a workaround | 07:09 |
| alkisg | There were also complains from people not wanting to use pulseaudio at all... wouldn't libsdl1.2debian-all give them a way to do that? | 07:12 |
| persia | Well, yeah, but most of those complaints come from people who ran into bugs and blame pulse (even when pulse wasn't the cause) | 07:13 |
| persia | Mind you, I have a number of use cases where I *really* don't want pulse, but in those cases, I'm not using SDL audio anyway. | 07:13 |
| alkisg | I'm a pulseaudio fan myself, as I use LTSP a lot, but "preferring" pulse instead of "forcing" it seems better imo... | 07:15 |
| persia | I guess I see both as expressions of preference, but I agree forcing is wrong. | 07:15 |
| alkisg | Anyway, both of them would solve my problem. So I'll stop nagging people and wait for K|Xubuntu to be fixed so they are able to use pulseaudio before I start nagging again :D | 07:16 |
| === micahg1 is now known as micahg | ||
| alkisg | Thanks a lot persia for your time & advice :) | 07:16 |
| persia | alkisg: Well, if you're up for trying to do autodetection, that gives us a nice workaround. | 07:16 |
| persia | Alternately, if you're up for testing the xfce4-mixer pulse interaction, that should be in good shape, and strong feedback that it is (or bugs that the devs can fix) would probably sway Xubuntu. | 07:17 |
| persia | I know that upstream xfce4-mixer devs would like it to work properly, but don't have many user reports. | 07:17 |
| persia | I'm less knowledgeable about the situation with phonon: I think that is still a bit of a mess, because there's just so much needed to make a working backend. | 07:18 |
| persia | But I'd be glad to be wrong about that. | 07:18 |
| mneptok | ISP has been up and down all day. Reddit is down. just ate the last Kasugai gummy. life bites. | 07:18 |
| alkisg | I could give the autodetection thing a try. But for xfce4-mixer testing, as I never use Xubuntu, I wouldn't like to go ahead and report that "it works OK when ran from the live cd"... :) | 07:18 |
| dholbach | good morning | 07:18 |
| alkisg | Ah, a last argument for -all just came to me, that it would enable users with different needs to use different outputs even *on the same pc* | 07:20 |
| alkisg | (e.g. on a multiuser workstation or on some kind of a server where they don't have administrative rights) | 07:21 |
| alkisg | So user A logs on and wants pulse => OK, user b logs on and wants alsa => he just sets an environment variable. | 07:22 |
| persia | Well, OK, but let's analyse that. esound and arts are deprecated. pulse supplies many of the core nas features. alsa was breaking stuff, and the latest OSS drivers aren't shipped by default. | 07:22 |
| ScottK | arts isn't just deprecated. It's dead. | 07:22 |
| ScottK | We've removed it from the archive and upstream has closed the bug tracker. | 07:23 |
| persia | ScottK: I thought there was still support for KDE3 for some time (maintenance mode) | 07:23 |
| persia | Ah, then it's very dead. | 07:23 |
| ScottK | persia: There is, but not with arts. | 07:23 |
| persia | ScottK: Do you happen to know the current state of phonon & pulse? | 07:23 |
| ScottK | There were patches done to integrate them somewhat in KDE 4.4. We have them in Lucid. | 07:24 |
| ScottK | I don't know the details. | 07:24 |
| persia | So it's just a matter of testing at this point, or should be? | 07:24 |
| ScottK | Should be. | 07:24 |
| ScottK | Kmix needs some work too and that's not complete. | 07:24 |
| ScottK | There is currently some back and forth about breaking feature freeze to squeeze that in. | 07:25 |
| ScottK | Mandriva (where the work is being done) will ship it as a distro patch if it doesn't go upstream for 4.4. | 07:25 |
| ScottK | We didn't consider it yet. | 07:25 |
| ScottK | Regardless, Kubuntu will not ship pulse in Lucid. | 07:25 |
| persia | That's colin guthrie's work? | 07:25 |
| ScottK | I don't recall. | 07:26 |
| ScottK | persia: Yes. | 07:26 |
| alkisg | ScottK: Kubuntu will work fine with libsdl1.2debian-all with no modifications, right? | 07:26 |
| ScottK | Current state of play: http://colin.guthr.ie/2010/01/mix-it-up/ | 07:26 |
| alkisg | *would | 07:27 |
| ScottK | alkisg: I don't know. | 07:27 |
| ScottK | It's also 2:30 AM here, so anything I pretend to know, unless i give references, be skeptical. | 07:27 |
| alkisg | So, if Kubuntu won't ship pulse in Lucid, and if I test all derivatives to see if they work with -all, could we make the dependency switch? | 07:27 |
| persia | ScottK: Thanks for the references: this is looking promising (albeit for Lucid+1) | 07:27 |
| ScottK | alkisg: Didn't crimsun say that was just a workaround and the wrong way to go about it? | 07:28 |
| persia | alkisg: From -alsa to -all? That should be easy enough, so long as -all is configured to be sane about which backend it chooses. | 07:28 |
| alkisg | ScottK: he said that for workstations, but when I mentioned that LTSP *needs* pulseaudio, I got the feeling that he accepted that. | 07:28 |
| alkisg | persia: yes. | 07:29 |
| ScottK | alkisg: When it comes to stuff like this, I'm personally going to go with what crimsun says. | 07:29 |
| ScottK | So get him to agree and I'm all for it then. | 07:29 |
| alkisg | OK, so /me writes down the steps he needs to make: (1) verify that all derivatives work with -all, (2) talk to crimsun about it, (3) [if everyone seems to agree] nag until the dependency is changed to -all first. :) | 07:30 |
| alkisg | Ah and (4) try to get -all to use pulse by default when it's available | 07:31 |
| ScottK | If you get 1 and 2 done, 3 will be easy. | 07:31 |
| persia | Well, except don't nag. Just file a bug with the conclusions of your verifications and discussions. | 07:31 |
| persia | And make sure to have tasks for any packages that need modification. | 07:31 |
| alkisg | persia: sure, I was just kidding with that word. I don't go around nagging people... Sorry for my lack in English language. | 07:32 |
| persia | alkisg: No worries. Just wanted to be clear for the logs :) | 07:32 |

| siretart` | jmarsden: excellent hint, locale-gen regenerated *only* the german locales (6), the english ones where already up-to-date. thanks a bunch! | 09:20 |
| cjwatson | in which case the installer is going to need an update ... | 09:20 |
| jmarsden | siretart`: You're welcome. | 09:20 |
| cjwatson | ttx: hmm. could I see the preseed file as well, which it allegedly downloaded? something isn't adding up here | 09:21 |
| ttx | cjwatson: I can't find anything in /tmp/eucalyptus-udeb*, does it delete it after "successfully loading" it ? | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | ttx: I mean the one at the URL you cited | 09:24 |
| ttx | cjwatson: ah ok | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | yes, it deletes it | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | might be worth double-checking that this shows something sensible when run in the installer: wget.gnu -q --no-check-certificate -O - $url | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | from the syslog, it looks rather as if it downloaded an empty file | 09:26 |
| * alkisg has el_GR.UTF-8 as the system locale, and while locale-gen didn't solve his gdm problems, locale-gen --purge did | 09:27 | |
| ttx | cjwatson: the command gets the right contents, let me pastebin what it gets | 09:28 |
| ttx | maybe $url is not what we think it is | 09:30 |
| cjwatson | I'll make it syslog the URL | 09:31 |
| ttx | preseed contents is http://people.canonical.com/~ttx/preseed.conf | 09:31 |
| cjwatson | ok, so it definitely didn't actually load that | 09:35 |
| ttx | cjwatson: I think I got it | 09:37 |
| ttx | clouds="$(euca_find_component cloud)" | 09:37 |
| ttx | cloud="${clouds#* }" | 09:37 |
| ttx | cloud_preseed "https://$cloud:8443/preseed/preseed.conf" | 09:37 |
| ttx | euca_find_component returns "CLC 192.168.0.151:8773" | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | so it does | 09:38 |
| ttx | and wget.gnu doesn't really mid trying to fetch from 192.168.0.151:8773:8443, apparently | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | willfix | 09:39 |
| ttx | cjwatson: assigning to you then. Some more logging could come in handy :) | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | already added :) | 09:41 |
| ttx | cjwatson: heh :) | 09:41 |
| cjwatson | node->cluster preseed fetching has a similar bug | 09:41 |
| cjwatson | actually no it doesn't | 09:41 |
| ttx | no, it works | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | ... yes it does. COFFEE | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | it has it in at least some modes, I'm pretty sure. The code is cognate | 09:42 |
| ttx | right but maybe :8773:8773 just works | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | oh, you're right, actually the cluster code never appends a port | 09:42 |
| ttx | the CLC+Walrus+CC+SC / NC topology works | 09:43 |
| ttx | those bugs come from my testing of CLC+Walrus / CC+SC / NC | 09:43 |
| ttx | Then more bugs might come from CLC / Walrus / CC / SC / NC :) | 09:43 |
| cjwatson | ttx: fix committed, want me to upload? | 09:44 |
| ttx | cjwatson: sure, I could use an ISO with that | 09:44 |

| cjwatson | ttx: should I wait for kirkland to get back and merge whatever he has locally? | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | bzr is missing: | 09:48 |
| ttx | cjwatson: he uploaded to archive what he had locally, so in theory we could reapply it to branch | 09:48 |

| pitti | slangasek: in gnome-menus? | 11:33 |
| pitti | (I fixed that this morning) | 11:33 |
| seb128 | well fixing the crash doesn't fix the fact that locales are broken | 11:34 |
| seb128 | ie everything is in english | 11:34 |
| pitti | of course | 11:34 |
| slangasek | pitti: yes | 11:34 |
| pitti | at least libc6's script should call locale-gen to rebuild them | 11:35 |
| seb128 | that's not enough to fix the locale there | 11:35 |
| slangasek | I don't think missing locales are the problem, it looks to me like glibc is getting the path lookup wrong | 11:35 |
| slangasek | or at least, when it finds /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_CTYPE, it decides it's no good and keeps looking | 11:36 |

| seb128 | pitti, I did run locale-gen and it says fr_FR.UTF-8 is still up-to-date but I get warnings on running gtk applications saying the locale is no supported by the C library... | 11:36 |
| pitti | hm, I did that, and a reboot, and everything is working again | 11:37 |
| seb128 | not there | 11:37 |
| pitti | oh, "up-to-date"? that's wrong | 11:38 |
| pitti | it should regenerate it | 11:38 |
| seb128 | I think it did on the first run | 11:38 |

| ior3k | can anyone give me some pointers on how I can fix it? | 11:59 |
| ior3k | this is lucid, btw | 11:59 |
| siretart` | slangasek: I can confirm your observations, only my non-english locales were regenerated. - however, the effects were more grave: it made gdm and X segfault on the next reboot. | 12:01 |
| slangasek | oh, I haven't gone so far as to reboot yet :/ | 12:02 |
| siretart` | that was fun. espc since the segfault is pretty unobviously hidden in /var/log/syslog | 12:03 |

| === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch | ||
| pitti | slangasek: I discussed that with upstream, but it's not trivial; pitivi is in python, and there are no python gudev bindings yet (and probably won't be), and the python gobject-introspection support still needs to land | 13:09 |

| sebner | tseliot: I guess it's because of the fiXX0red Xserver | 14:40 |

| * sebner runs sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg | 14:41 | |

| kirkland | cjwatson: thanks, i didn't know about 'bzr bind' | 14:41 |
| tseliot | sebner: I meant, apt-get dist-upgrade instead of installing nvidia directly | 14:41 |
| kirkland | ttx: sorry about that | 14:42 |
| soren | sebner: That driver doesn't work, or the package still doesn't install? | 14:42 |
| sebner | tseliot: I had the old driver removed anyways | 14:42 |
| ttx | kirkland: you owe cjwatson a beer ;) | 14:42 |
| sebner | soren: package but I'll try something out | 14:42 |
| kirkland | ttx: probably several, in fact ;-) | 14:42 |
| * sebner reboots | 14:43 | |
| cjwatson | kirkland: (it's like bzr checkout but you can do it after branching without having to build the branch again from scratch) | 14:45 |

| slangasek | didrocks: how is https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-une coming along? | 14:46 |
| sebner | mvo: funnily I had strange colours with new nv and tseliot xserver | 14:47 |
| pitti | slangasek: I think the only thing left is to add transitional packages to the new ubuntu-netbook{,-default-settings} packages (for the former -remix) name, and remove the old packages | 14:47 |
| sebner | tseliot: nvidia blob installed and working but only ~1000 frames/s instead of 15000 | 14:48 |
| slangasek | pitti: ok, cool | 14:48 |
| slangasek | pitti: just wanting to make sure that since this is for alpha-2, it lands this week, not next :) | 14:48 |
| tseliot | sebner: my xserver contains only changes in the packaging scripts (no code change whatsoever) | 14:48 |
| tseliot | sebner: what does "glxinfo | grep direct" say? | 14:48 |
| pitti | slangasek: yeah, would be nice indeed; StevenK was working on that last, will ping him again (or help out) | 14:49 |

| sebner | tseliot: http://pastebin.com/m67df35b5 | 14:50 |
| sebner | tseliot: btw, I had to use nvida-xconfig else nv would start | 14:51 |
| tseliot | sebner: glx seems to be broken. Restart your computer or it won't work | 14:52 |
| tseliot | restarting X is not enough with the new system | 14:52 |

| tseliot | it says that it failed to initialize the GLX module | 14:53 |

| pitti | StevenK: awesome | 14:55 |

| pitti | StevenK: was unr-meta superseded as well? | 14:55 |
| pitti | ah, netbook-meta, nevermind | 14:56 |
| pitti | StevenK: ubuntu-netbook-default-settings still needs to build a transitional ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings package AFAICS | 14:57 |
| pitti | StevenK: likewise, netbook-meta (or something else) needs to build a transitional ubuntu-netbook-remix package | 14:58 |

| kees | mathiaz: is that what I said? I think I meant "one should be demoted if they do the same thing". As it turns out, they don't do the same thing, so I'm okay with them staying in main. | 16:50 |

| mathiaz | kees: and then there is the ongoing discussion on ipsec | 16:55 |
| mathiaz | kees: IMO we should support an IPSEC stack in main | 16:55 |
| mathiaz | kees: as it's used in corportate environements | 16:55 |
| mathiaz | kees: and openvpn doesn't cover all use cases | 16:55 |

| mathiaz | kees: understood | 16:56 |
| mathiaz | kees: the issue here is the ipsec-tools package | 16:56 |
| mathiaz | kees: another solution is isakmpd | 16:56 |
| ttx | kees: I know what color is your security hat, but what color is your ubuntu-user hat ? brown ? | 16:56 |

| mvo | sbalneav: I attached a new diff (very small) could you please have a quick look/test ? it works in my tests and is whatthe original gksu in karmic did | 17:22 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, it didn't, we had this discussion before, where "we" might not be you for xorg | 17:24 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, we had to add xauth build-depends to several packages | 17:24 |
| tjaalton | seb128: ok | 17:24 |
| tjaalton | I won't touch it again then ;) | 17:25 |
| seb128 | well if we added the xauth build-depends that's probably because there was good reason to drop if from xvfb | 17:25 |
| seb128 | I would say doko's change should be undone and build-depends should be added to whatever he tried to build | 17:26 |

But here’s the thing – either your system is capable of delivering those results or it is not.

You are not going to improve your system by stressing it to achieve aggressive targets. Systems don’t work that way. You | 18:05 |

| mdz | it's happening at *:17 when cron.hourly runs | 18:09 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: well - upstream has an option as of 1.7.1 | 18:09 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: so it can easily be enabed | 18:09 |
| kees | mdz: weird, cron hasn't changed. perhaps the new eglibc ? | 18:09 |
| jdstrand | mathiaz: then I have no opinion, other than to say that shoulders surfers can figure out how many characters the password is | 18:10 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: 1.7.1: A new Defaults option "pwfeedback" will cause sudo to provide visual feedback when the user is entering a password. | 18:10 |
| ion | mathiaz: Some visual feedback an attacker may not use to determine the length of the password would be okay. | 18:10 |
| * jdstrand assumes that feedback is '****' | 18:10 | |
| kees | mathiaz: I would prefer the default be left to no feedback to match login, ssh, etc. | 18:11 |
| mdz | I'm also getting locale warnings from perl, though locale-gen says my locale is up-to-date | 18:11 |
| ion | mdz: Ditto. Forcing the regeneration of the locales is a workaround. | 18:12 |
| mdz | kees, curiously, gdb has this to say: | 18:12 |
| mdz | warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?) | 18:12 |
| mdz | warning: .dynamic section for "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?) | 18:12 |
| mathiaz | kees: ok - would you mind adding a comment to the bug? | 18:13 |
| mdz | ion, is there a bug open? | 18:13 |
| jdstrand | mathiaz, kees: I already am | 18:13 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: great - thanks | 18:13 |
| mathiaz | jdstrand: I'm going to unsusribe main-sponsors as long as the core issue isn't settled | 18:14 |

| mathiaz | pitti: rickspencer3: however noone is assigned to review - is there a specific desktop team review? | 18:35 |
| chrisccoulson | mathiaz - i was going to say that i could probably review that gnome-panel change, but it seems like i can't upload gnome-panel anyway. it might be a good idea to have vuntz review it (he hangs around in #ubuntu-desktop), but he's already got quite a lot of gnome-panel changes to review | 18:43 |

| chrisccoulson | pitti - do you know if there is a reason that gnome-panel is part of the "core" packageset (and not ubuntu-desktop)? | 18:46 |
| pitti | mathiaz: it's in the sponsoring queue, so we'll get to it | 18:48 |
| pitti | chrisccoulson: because it's also used by xubuntu and other derivatives | 18:48 |

| vish | mathiaz: hi... mpt has been trying to get Bug #194472 fixed for a long time... you can note his comments in lp and upstream as well | 19:17 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 194472 in hundredpapercuts "Entering password in Terminal gives no visual feedback" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/194472 | 19:17 |
| vish | mathiaz: does the change need to be approved by anyone else? | 19:18 |
| mathiaz | vish: well - I'm not sure whether mpt states that visual feedback should be turned on by default | 19:20 |
| mathiaz | vish: my understanding is that he advocates for having consistency | 19:21 |
| vish | mathiaz: comment 6 > "why not fix it, by getting sudo to show asterisks as you type your password?" | 19:21 |
| mathiaz | vish: well - comment 8 is more precise | 19:22 |
| mathiaz | vish: depending on the decision wether visual feedback should be enabled by default, different applications should be fixed | 19:23 |
| vish | mathiaz: hmm... i dont think #8 is different either... in both his first mention is to show the password and only if it is not safe to change the default of others at once too... | 19:24 |
| mathiaz | vish: well - may be. mpt is just offering his advice. The security team also commented on it. | 19:25 |
| mathiaz | vish: to move things forward I'd suggest to send an email to ubuntu-devel to ask for feedback and may be reach a conclusion. | 19:26 |
| vish | mathiaz: from what andrew mentions the password is shown only when the user is entering it and the feedback is removed once the user has hit enter [i havent applied the patch myself] | 19:26 |
| vish | mathiaz: so -devel is the best approach ? | 19:27 |
| mathiaz | vish: I guess so - the core issue to answer is whether visual feedback when entering a password should be enabled by default or not. | 19:28 |
| unggnu | hi all | 19:29 |
| mathiaz | vish: depending on the answer, relevant applications may require to be fixed. | 19:29 |
| vish | mathiaz: hmm... oh boy... we'd probably end up discussing this for a long time ;) | 19:29 |
| vish | on the ML | 19:29 |
| unggnu | I think an option for fstab which suspends the mount a little after the boot would be great for Lucid. It could optimize the boot process for partitions which aren't needed directly on boot but should be still mounted and checked without user interaction. | 19:30 |
| mathiaz | vish: if the ML discussion doesn't work out, the next step is to take it to the Technical Board. | 19:30 |
| vish | mathiaz: well.. this might be a way out of my league... I'll assign the bug to mpt and request him to carry it forward :) | 19:32 |
| chrisccoulson | i just enabled pwfeedback for sudo on my debian install | 19:42 |
| chrisccoulson | just out of curiosity | 19:43 |
| chrisccoulson | it clears the feedback from the terminal after you entered your password, so i don't think it's any less secure than other places that give visual feedback | 19:43 |
