persiakees: Didn't you have a script that discovered all the ELF objects that hadn't been compiled since your last hardening improvement?  Could we repurpose that for our ARM instruction set plans?00:00
slangasekis that level of inspection needed, or is the "not rebuilt since karmic" sufficient?00:00
persiaWell, we don't actually care about rebuilding stuff that doesn't have ELF.00:01
slangasekinspecting the ELF objects will be a lot more expensive, certainly, so is harder to iterate; and I don't think looking for karmic binaries will turn up any false-positives00:01
persiaFor those, -marm vs. -thumb2 isn't going to make a difference.00:01
slangasektrue, but if you're only grabbing Architecture: any, that's nearly 1:1 with "ELF"00:01
persiaFair enough.  I just thought it might be easier to use an extant script than develop a new one, even if it takes longer to run.00:01

ccheneydoko__: i'm running into some sort of weird build error on lucid, not sure if its a toolchain issue (maybe related to java) or what, i tried 3.2 at first but can't even get 3.1.1 to build on lucid02:47
ccheneygetting weird errors like this: "dmake:  Error: -- `VA8CLASSFIFILES)' not found, and can't be made"02:47
ccheneydoko__: any ideas what could be causing that?02:49
ccheneydoko__: for the 3.1.1 rebuild i just added the minimum needed to get it to build on lucid the distro-config update, apply file update, and rules file update02:49
ccheneydoko__: it got the same type of weird class not found error as the 3.2 build i tried though02:50
* ccheney thinks it must be something related to java build stuff02:50

ebroderHmm...so I just got an e-mail from someone I sponsored pointing out that when james-w sponsored a bzr merge, the sponsoree was still the committer, but when I follow the instructions at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/UploadingAPackage>, it creates a new commit with me as the committer. What is james-w doing that I'm not?05:06
RAOFebroder: They should still be the committer for the revisions that they committed; you'll have committed a new merge revision, though, right?05:13
ebroderRight. But there's not much point in creating a merge revision if I'm not making any changes to their branch. Would I just `bzr branch` their branch and then `bzr push lp:ubuntu/<package>` with that, I guess?05:14
RAOFIf you wanted to, I guess.05:21
jmlhi05:23
jmlI've just posted about Launchpad's development roadmap to the LP blog. If I wanted to make sure that interested Ubuntu developers knew about it, where else should I post?05:24

smoserKeybuk, is there a way i can tell ureadahead to not reprofile next time?05:55

dholbachgood morning06:27
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
smoserKeybuk, ping. or anyone, i could use some upstart help. on ec2, I can reproduce regularly, the following:06:54
smoser- working first boot06:54
smoser- install of upstart job that has: start on (mounted MOUNTPOINT=/ and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)06:54
smoser- install upstart job that turns on debug on 'startup'06:55
smoser- reboot06:55
smoser- hang06:55
slangaseksmoser: why are you saying 'mounted MOUNTPOINT=/'?06:55
smoserper advice of Keybuk i thought.06:55
slangasekhmm06:56
smoseri want my job to run as early as possible such that eth0 is up06:56
slangasekI don't know why you wouldn't just be doing 'start on net-device-up IFACE=eth0'06:56
slangasekI'm not going to try to guess why Keybuk would have advised you to write it that way06:57
smoserbecause i want to block other things i think.06:57
smoseri want to block as much as I can on my job running06:57
smoserhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/353326/ is the debug output06:57
slangasekwhat, specifically, are you trying to block?  If that formulation is blocking at all, it'll block any other non-root filesystems from being mounted... which could also block the network from coming up06:58
smoserwell, theres only 1 "normal" filesystem06:59
smoserin general, the goal is to run as early in the boot process as psossible and be able to affect as much of the boot proccess as possible.07:00
smoserthis actually does work for me in a kvm instance that ih ave which is really almost identical. other than timing.07:01
smoseri think i know what the problem is.07:04
smoserin my initramdisk, i was bringing up eth0 and not bringing it down07:05
smoserthat must have stopped a eth0 up event from ever firing07:05
slangasekcould be07:10

Shirananyone know how can i add ASCII 0 to a string in c++?08:08
FlannelShiran: what are you trying to do with it once it's added?08:09
Shiransend it  to a socket08:09
Shirani added "\0" in my string but apparently this doesn't work08:09
FlannelOh wait, we're talking about computers.  Right.08:09
Shiran:P08:10
FlannelShiran: you want to append "0", not '\0'08:10
FlannelNo, no, I was going to mention that strings are static and you'll wind up doing a copy and stuff, but you probably don't care.08:10
Shiranthat doesn't matter08:11
Shirani want my string to be "blah blah blah ^@"08:12
ttxpitti: good morning ! Could you trigger a Server CD respin for me ? The recent one didn't catch the lately-published eucalyptus 1.6.2~bzr1120-0ubuntu608:12
persiaYou want a string that contains a null byte?08:12
Shiranif i write "blah blah blah 0" wouldn't it just be "blah blah blah 0" ??08:12
Shirani want it to contain ^@, i dont think thats null but im not sure08:12
FlannelShiran: That's what you asked for "ascii 0" is 0x3008:12
FlannelYou want it to have "^@" in it?08:13
Shiranyea08:13
Shiran^@ being ASCII 008:13
Shiranright now i have   string shiran = "blah blah \0"08:13
persiaShiran: You probably want to ask on a dedicated c++ channel.  That's going to be tricky.08:13
Shiranwhat should it be?08:14
Shiranpresia: obvisouly i did in 2 of them08:14
ash211Do you mean append ASCII 0 to the end of the string, or add to each character by the value of ASCII 0 ?08:14
Shiranand i didnt get reply yet08:14
Shiranash: ASCII 0 to the end of the string08:14
Shiranthis is how the other socket knows i finished sending it a message08:15
Shiranit should read ASCII 008:15
FlannelShiran: what's the hex value for 'ascii 0'?08:17
Shirani dont know08:18
ttxslangasek, cjwatson: if you're around, please feel free to trigger a server CD respin as well, since my usual victim (pitti) is not available :)08:19
ash211well if your string is called str, why can't you just do a [[str += "0";]] ?08:20
Shiranok someone in C++ channel helped me08:20
Shiranit's   mystring + '\0'08:20
Shiranthis works good08:21
ash211oh, that's not ASCII zero, that's a null byte08:21
ash211but anyway, glad you got it figured out08:21
FlannelShiran: you might also be interested in str.c_str() (where str is your string)08:24
Shiranand why is that?08:24
Shirani know i'm getting char* with it08:25
FlannelShiran: Because it returns the null terminated string08:25
Shirani don't think thats good08:25
ttxmvo: about bug 49449908:25

ttxmvo: this bug has been targeted to alpha208:26

mvottx: I'm on the phone right now, I have a look after that08:28
ttxmvo: no hurry, thx08:28
Shiranso my string goes like   "CONNECT\n" + "login:Shiran\n" + "passcode:passcode\n\n" + '\0'08:28

tseliotdoko_, cjwatson, slangasek: do you know how to make sure that a library is permanently loaded before another which lives in /usr/lib? Putting the path to the other library in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ doesn't seem to solve the problem (see libGL.so.1): http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/353366/08:44
tseliotshall I use preload and would it be acceptable if I did so?08:45
doko_tseliot: LD_LIBRARY_PATH should help, I don't think that LD_PRELOAD is needed09:05
tseliotdoko_: but shouldn't glibc look in /usr/lib after the paths in /etc/ld.so.conf.d ?09:07
tseliotdoko_: is it possible that some patches that we have cause it to somehow resort the cache?09:12
doko_tseliot: why? it's still one logical config file09:13
tsimpsondid you run ldconfig after editing the conf file(s)?09:15
tsimpsonthat's what regenerates the cache09:15
tseliotyes, of course I did09:15
tsimpsonas far as my knowledge of LD goes, it should be working then09:16
tseliotthe file that I put on pastebin ^^ is the output of ldconfig -p after doing an ldconfig09:16
tseliotdoko_: but I don't see why it should pick up /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 before /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1 if I put /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ in /etc/ld.so.conf09:18
superm1what if your rename the cache before running it09:20
superm1although i guess it's supposed to rebuild it anyway during the invokation09:21
tseliotI can try that09:21
tjaaltonsounds like /usr/lib|/lib is used before anything else09:22
tseliotsuperm1: same result09:22
tseliottjaalton: right09:23
doko_tseliot: even before /usr/local/lib ?09:24
tjaaltonforgot /usr/local/lib :)09:25
tseliotdoko_: let me check09:26
tseliotdoko_: it's loaded after the path that I want to use09:27
tseliotlibGL.so.1 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.20) => /usr/lib/libGL.so.109:28
tseliotlibGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.109:28
tseliotlibGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libGL.so.109:28
tseliotwhich is correct09:28
tseliotsince I put my path in GL.conf09:28
tseliotwhich comes before libc.conf09:29
tseliotin alphabetical order09:29
tsimpsonare you sure ldconfig -p prints out in the order which libraries will be loaded?09:30
tseliotdoko_: oh, I think I know what the problem is09:30
tseliotif I copy the library from /usr/lib to /usr/local/lib the former is picked up first09:31
tseliotwhile if I copy the one from /usr/lib/nvidia-current to /usr/local/lib the same doesn't happen09:31
superm1how does that explain it?09:32
tseliotthis happens because these 2 libraries are considered as different libraries:09:32
tseliotlibGL.so.1 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.20) => /usr/lib/libGL.so.109:32
tseliotlibGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.109:32
superm1tsimpson has a good point though, you should double check with ldd and something that is linked to libGL.so.1 in case ldconfig -p just prints the cache in the order it likes to09:32
tseliotbut "ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo" confirms the fact that the wrong library is being used09:33
Sarvattopen("/usr/lib/libGL.so.1", O_RDONLY)   = 309:33
tseliotSarvatt: do you have a theory?09:36
superm1tseliot, its possible that mandriva's ldconfig is behaving differently.  they probably use glibc whereas we use eglibc09:37
Sarvattnope its just definitely using /usr/bin/libGL.so.1 first like the ldconfig -p shows here with your packages09:37
tseliotsuperm1: if it considers libGL.so.1 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.20) and libGL.so.1 (libc6) as different libraries then there might be something wrong in what ldconfig does09:41
tseliothere's what ldconfig --verbose says: http://pastebin.com/d72e5c07909:46
doko_tseliot: is the library loaded at all, even if you remove the one in /usr/lib?09:49
tseliotdoko_: yes, it is. Currently it's the only way to get things to work09:50
tseliotdoko_: ldconfig still seems to be looking for /usr/bin/libGL.so.1. If I remove /usr/bin/libGL.so.1 (which is a symlink to /usr/bin/libGL.so.1.2) ldconfig recreates the symlink09:55
tseliottjaalton, doko_: I guess it depends on the flags that we use in mesa. Mandriva doesn't have (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.20) but only (libc6)10:17
tseliotldconfig sort things differently if flags or whatever are there10:17
tseliottsimpson, Sarvatt: ^^10:19
tjaaltonask for the config flags of the mandriva package10:20
tseliottjaalton: they use -O2 -g -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=i586 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=410:32

slangasekheh, ok15:51
tseliotslangasek: if each library lives in its own directory (as long as it's not /usr/lib) and we use ld.so.conf.d to tell ldconfig what to do, things work well15:52

LeonBrusselsHi! I am using Epiphany 2.28.0 on Karmic. I am experiencing https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605536 in gnome-shell with epiphany. I talked to the gnome-shell guys, a fix is already in 2.28.2 of epiphany. They told me to tell you that to fix it you would have to import f0e7cc5af163c6ed16c4450115b61bfa0822b80a from upstream (or push 2.28.2, I don't know what ubuntu policy is in that regard)19:22

jdstrandkees: I am trying to investigate bug #504903 and am stumped. if I build it locally in an schroot, the apparmor is included in the build, if I build it in LP, it is not. the LP buildlog is http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37456614/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.tcpdump_4.0.0-6ubuntu1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz19:24

jdstrandkees: the debhelper auto magic stuff is different between my local build and LP, even though the debhelper versions are the same19:25
jdstrandkees: this is tcpdump 4.0.0-6ubuntu1 (lucid)19:25
jdstrandkees: it moved over the the new 'dh $@' format with this merge, which I haven't used much before19:26
jdstrandkees: is there anything obvious in debian/rules that I did wrong?19:27
jdstrandkees: (I added the 'binary: install' part19:28
cjwatsonmost dh(1) users don't have a separate install: target IME19:28
cjwatson(haven't looked at the rest of it, sorry)19:29
jdstrandcjwatson: this is the whole debian/rules file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/353594/19:29
jdstrandthere is no separate 'install', and I thought this was correct (since 'install' is done behind the scenes, aiui)19:30
cjwatsonno, you should just drop the install bit19:30
cjwatsonbut that binary: doesn't look right in general19:30
cjwatsonwhat I would do is:19:30
cjwatsonoverride_dh_install:19:31
cjwatson        dh_install19:31
cjwatson        cp -a $(CURDIR)/debian/usr.sbin.tcpdump $(CURDIR)/debian/tcpdump/etc/apparmor.d19:31
cjwatsonactually, why don't you just put 'usr.sbin.tcpdump etc/apparmor.d' in debian/install instead?19:31
jdstrandcjwatson: wouldn't I still need to put it in debian/tcpdump/etc... for that to work?19:32
jdstrand(the 2nd suggestion)19:32
cjwatsonsorry, not sure what you mean?19:33
cjwatsonI meant 'debian/usr.sbin.tcpdump etc/apparmor.d' BTW19:33

jdstrandcjwatson: debian/install works great. thanks!19:41
jdstrandkees: ^19:41
slangaseksmoser: right, that's going to need Keybuk's input, because I don't see how this could ever work reliably19:41
LeonBrusselsScottK: Just so I can suggest the improvement: Would the ubuntu way of doing it be to update Karmic to the new version or patch the version in Karmic or wait for Lucid altogether (not a lot of people are affected anyway, gnome-shell is devel-only anyway)?19:41
jdstrand(at least locally, but I'm sure this will work on the buildd too)19:41
ScottKLeonBrussels: Either fix lucid only or fix lucid and patch karmic.19:42
keesjdstrand: cool19:42
ScottKIt depends a bit and I couldn't say for sure.19:42
smoserslangasek, :-(. well, it works very reliably in my kvm guests.19:42
KeybukI don't see why it wouldn't be reliable?19:45
slangasekKeybuk: smoser says this start rule was your suggestion in order to block other services until this job is done; but if that's true, isn't there a problem if bringing up eth0 depends on something else than just 'mounted MOUNTPOINT=/'?19:47
Keybukthat rule is very EC2 specific19:50
Keybukafter the root mount filesystem is mounted, wait for the interface to come up, download the config for that instance, and continue19:50
Keybuketh0 is never going to depend on anything complicated19:50
Keybukcertainly never going to have a split filesystem19:50
smoserKeybuk, well, its not working on ec2, while it does work for me in kvm19:50
smoseri'm open to other more general suggestions that still allow blocking of other events and running early19:51
Keybuksmoser: what doesn't work about it?19:52
slangasekKeybuk: does mounted MOUNTPOINT=/ happen before or after virtual filesystems are mounted?19:52
Keybukslangasek: neither19:52
Keybukboth19:52

CodAr2D3cjwatson: As upstream id say itll be more fun for the users to have things that works as intended. Dont you ?20:04
cjwatsonkenvandine: I realise that, but since then more flavours of Ubuntu have started using it and so the software has started considering it as more core than ubuntu-desktop20:04

cjwatsonCodAr2D3: there are multiple ways to achieve this, and I'm afraid that this policy is not normally open to negotiation, but if there's an appropriate bug we can certainly look at backporting the fixes to achieve the same result for ussers20:05
cjwatsonusers20:05
Keybukfor me to be able to get up to speed enough to even replicate your problem is more time than I have20:05
Keybukthat shouldn't make a difference20:05
Keybukdoes your job use /tmp ?20:05
CodAr2D3cjwatson: Upstreams gets hundreds of emails because Ubuntu fails to just copy in the new packages.20:06
cjwatsonCodAr2D3: if you make it a matter of "you have to use our new releases or your users are broken", then we may have trouble working with you; but we do successfully work with many upstream releases on the understood basis that we'll backport important patches.20:07
cjwatsonwe do not copy in new releases because, sadly, this policy generally breaks a lot20:08
cjwatsonI'm an upstream myself, I know that everyone always wants people to use the newest code, but this doesn't tend to be very compatible with the notion of an integrated stable release I'm afraid, so we backport patches20:08
cjwatsonCodAr2D3: are there bugs filed for these problems?20:09
CodAr2D3Hmm, i suddenly feel a need to escalate this issue some notches.20:09
cjwatsonCodAr2D3: this doesn't feel very constructive20:09

Keybuksmoser: you can't20:12
Keybukif you want to block mounting, you must only use the filesystem you're blocking20:12
ScottKgeser: You should see the hatemail I got after wontfixing a bug that asked for gcc3.3 to be put back into the archive because there's proprietary software that needs the support libraries.20:13

Keybuk(this includes /proc, /sys, /var/run, /var/lock, etc.)20:13

Keybukif you're really unlucky, it might get wiped while you're trying to use it20:15

Keybuk(though I think it's more likely that /tmp will be wiped before, or just after, but I wouldn't bet on that)20:16
smoserok, then to go another route, how can i say i want to run when those things are available.20:16
Keybukif you want to run when those things are available, you can't block20:17
Keybuk(just reading through the code - you probably can get away with /tmp, provided you know it's never mounted as a tmpfs or similar)20:18

sistpoty(looking at guvcview atm)21:47
Keybuksistpoty: autosyncs have never been auto, but entirely manual21:47
sistpotyKeybuk: oh, I see... should I file a sync request then? or will it be handled manually automatically *g*?21:48
Keybuksistpoty: we're after freeze, so sync request I think21:48

ebroderJaunty's DIF was Christmas day, I think21:58
Keybukyeah that's what I was thinking of21:59
mvotweakt: that should work, however apt_pkg.Configuration needs to be used, that is not exported but will be picked up by the apt.* stuff22:00
cjwatsonyes, I remember we had to justify it to people going "hang on, you can't schedule something for Christmas Day"22:00
mvotweakt: (if not, please let me know with a example what dosn't work)22:00
cjwatsonby pointing out that this was an event where you *stopped* doing work22:00
Keybukafter a while, all the releases merge into one great big panic22:05
tweaktmvo: so how should I access apt_pkg.Configuration ? I'm using apt_pkg.Config right now22:06

slangasekKeybuk: server team is keen to have bug #503212 fixed for alpha-2, which is the one ion has a merge proposal for; do you have any insights/observations on that branch that aren't expressed in the merge proposal, or if not, do you mind if I review it and upload if I think it checks out?22:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 503212 in mountall "mountall crashed with SIGSEGV in main() without initramfs" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50321222:17
ionThat branch fixes the initial segfault, but there are still other problems when running without an initramfs. I haven’t had a chance to debug them yet, but i’m planning to.22:18
slangasekok22:18
slangasekion: do you have any more detail on what the further problems are?  I don't have a ready initramfs-less test system22:19

ionslangasek: I’d prefer Keybuk to review my first commit in that branch, he might have a different idea of how to fix new_mount()s-after-mount_policy(). The second commit should definitely be Keybuk-safe if you will. :-P22:20
=== lolcat is now known as SquishyD
slangasekion: well, I would also prefer Keybuk review it, but I'm not sure he'll be available to do so :)22:21
ionslangasek: I’ve encountered an assertion failure from nih_free (i.e. a double nih_free somewhere) that still didn’t kill mountall, so it seems to happen in a forked subprocess. That’s all i know so far, it needs actual debugging.22:21

neXyonhello22:26
mothinatorI have a few questions about how merges/syncs occur: 1.) Does ubuntu sync with debian testing or unstable? 2.) When does syncing occur? Thanks.22:29
sebnermothinator: normally with unstable but now for the LTS with testing. Hmm, no fixed times, every few days afaik22:30
neXyonis any real ubuntu developer here? just interested22:30
sebnerneXyon: what do you understand under "real" ?22:30
neXyonone that updates official packages22:30
geserand what are "fake" developers? :)22:30
neXyonones not allowed to update official packages :D22:31
sebnerneXyon: "official"?22:31
neXyonthose in the official package repos :D22:31
sebnerneXyon: you are currently speaking with 2 ;)22:31
neXyonokay22:31
neXyonI request an update of the openal package22:31
sebnerneXyon: in this channel "higher" devs too though22:31
tweaktStill trying to figure out how to get the high level python-apt api to use a custom configuration (so it runs as non-root, with an isolated config)22:31
neXyonfor ubuntu 08.04 - current22:31
cjwatsonneXyon: please use the bug tracking system for such things22:31
tweaktany help *greatly* appreciated... tnx22:32
cjwatsonany update to a stable release requires a bug report anyway22:32
neXyonI'm sure the bug report is there already22:32
crimsunneXyon: are you referring to #503780 ?22:32
neXyonmy recommended solution as you don't update package versions is to change the default configuration of openal (soft) to use alsa, not pulse as the pulse backend is broken in openal soft (excluding current SVN)22:33
crimsun(the default backend *is* alsa)22:33
crimsunit's just being routed through the pulse pcm plugin, which is currently broken22:33
mothinatorsebner: There is a package in unstable that I'd like be merged in for lucid, do I just file a "please merge" bug report on launchpad?22:34
neXyonthen fix that one22:34
crimsunboth upstream alsa and pa know of it; we're quite close to a solution22:34
elmoslangasek: hmm, sorry, I didn't realise/remember I needed a keyboard modifier, thanks22:34
sebnermothinator: I think so, what package?22:34
neXyonI then wonder why setting alsa in the openal config file helped fixing the bug in the application I'm developing22:35
crimsunneXyon: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it has never been as simple as "just fix it already?!?!?!"22:35
crimsunneXyon: we can debug further whether it opens default or *hw: in a separate place22:35
mothinatorsebner: texlive-publishers. Revtex (installed in texlive-publishers) has updated to 4.1 in October, but the old package is still in debian testing.22:36
ScottKmothinator: Why didn't the new one get in.22:37
sebnerhola ScottK :)22:37
neXyoncrimsun: well, at least, if the bug is fixed in alsa/pulse/whatever will you then update all affected versions of ubuntu?22:38
crimsunneXyon: erm, I uploaded openal-soft last night to Lucid; anything further regarding other released versions of Ubuntu will need to go through the StableReleaseUpdates procedure22:39
Keybukion: what did you need me to review?22:39
neXyoncrimsun: you mean openal 1.10?22:39
neXyon(soft)22:39
crimsunneXyon: openal-soft (1:1.10.622-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low22:40
mothinatorScottK: Good question. I'm just an end user that would like to see it get updated and I was curious how the process works. Is there a particular place to find out why?22:40
cjwatsontexlive-extra is stuck in a big dependency cycle22:40
ionkeybuk: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ion/ubuntu/lucid/mountall/lucid/+merge/16868 Do you agree with what i did in #254?22:41
cjwatsonit's trying to go into testing at the moment22:41
cjwatsonbut it failed today, on the grounds of making a few hundred more packages uninstallable22:41
neXyoncrimsun: ahh yeah, have you checked out openal soft svn too? that version is really fixed, as there are still bugs with pulse in 1.1022:41
cjwatsonhttp://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_output.txt but it's not easy to read22:41
cjwatson(I have interpreted it above for you)22:41
mothinatorthanks22:41
Keybukion: #255 is "obviously right"22:41
crimsunneXyon: "in 1.10" is quite ambiguous, but no, I have not done an "svn up" in the past day.22:42
cjwatsonsee http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/01/msg00005.html and thread but there isn't much more informative there22:42
neXyoncrimsun: which revision did you build?22:42
Keybukion: 254 is a bit heavy22:42
Keybukion: probably better to just have mounted() ignore TAG_UNKNOWN :p22:42
cjwatsonwe could sync directly from unstable, but the point of syncing from testing this cycle is to insulate us from this kind of bug that tends to be very time-consuming to sort out, so it would be better to wait22:42
Keybuksince the tag is largely irrelevant22:42
Keybuk(mounts found from parse_mountinfo() are already mounted)22:43
neXyoncrimsun: because 1.10 is revision 62222:43
mothinatorcjwatson: so does that mean it is unlikely to make it into lucid?22:43
cjwatsonmothinator: it doesn't hurt to file a bug asking for it, of course, but perhaps wait until after Debian import freeze in case it gets in by itself (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule)22:43
ionkeybuk: Ok, i’ll make all cases of tag checking handle UNKNOWN properly instead of that.22:43
cjwatsonmothinator: you're reading more into what I said than I actually said. :)22:43
crimsunneXyon: I thought my paste was pretty clear regarding which revision22:43
Keybukion: yeah, I think I meant to do that, and just forgot22:43
Keybuk"unknown" was there to literally mean "it wasn't there when we started"22:44
Keybuk(otherwise I'd've just used a different default)22:44
crimsunneXyon: also, I presume you meant to refer me to the git repo on repo.or.cz ?22:44
neXyoncrimsun: ah yeah xD my mistake; well that version is buggy as I said22:44
neXyoncrimsun: yeah you're right22:44
neXyonman, I should go to bed :)22:45
crimsunneXyon: there's considerable churn since the release 8 weeks ago22:46
mothinatorcjwatson: fair enough. I just need to write some papers over the next year and this update would make my life easier. Also, I am clueless about development, so thanks for your help in sorting this out.22:46
neXyoncrimsun: anyway, any expectation when this will be an update for the official repos so that affected users will get that fixed22:46
Keybukcjwatson: btw, since you're here, I'm sure you know already, but installs aren't working atm22:46
alkisgcrimsun, hi, I've heard of 3 ways to solve the SDL problem in Ubuntu and LTSP etc: 1) Put libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio as the first dependency of libsdl1.2debian => would break [k|x]ubuntu, at least for now, 2) Put libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio in the Ubuntu CD seeds => maybe SDL isn't needed on the CD,22:46
crimsunneXyon: what do you mean by "update for the official repos"?22:46
alkisg3) Put libsdl1.2debian-all as the first dependency and either patch libsdl1.2debian to prefer pulse, if it's available, or/and set SDL_AUDIODRIVER=the preferred output method in the environment.22:46
alkisgIs there any chance that any of the above methods are included to Lucid?22:46
sistpotyKeybuk: I assume I can't bribe you to merge trousers for me? (my tiny change is picked up, but I have not much clue about your udev changes though)22:46
neXyoncrimsun: I'm not too much into ubuntu... I mean when do normal users that just do normal updates get a fixed system?22:47
cjwatsonKeybuk: I don't, I have been completely buried in contract work for the last week22:47
crimsunalkisg: setting environment variable isn't terribly intrusive22:47
crimsunneXyon: that will need to go through the StableReleaseUpdates process, as I mentioned earlier22:47
cjwatsonKeybuk: no rows for it on daily-installer?22:47
crimsunneXyon: so no, I have no ETA22:48
alkisgcrimsun: I offered to test if [k|x]ubuntu work with out of the box with libsdl1.2debian-all, but the current live CDs don't work with my hardware. I'll report in LP #203158 when alpha 2 is out. Thanks! :)22:48

alkisg(a change in the libsdl1.2debian dependencies order will be needed)22:48
cjwatsonneXyon: stable updates are *minimum* seven days from the time the upload enters the verification process; this is to protect users from mistakes. So certainly not before that22:49
Keybukcjwatson: no, ubiquity never finishes or runs the failure script22:49
KeybukI'll nag evan on monday22:49
crimsunalkisg: changing the alternates order seems nasty; I'd prefer to export a variable conditionally22:49
cjwatsonKeybuk: it's probably best, this week has not been composed of short days22:49
alkisgcrimsun: the variable only works with -all, it won't work if -alsa is installed.22:49
Keybukcjwatson: I know the feeling22:49
alkisgcrimsun: So a change in the dependencies would be required for -all to be installed, when someone installs e.g. tuxpaint.  libsdl1.2debian-all is in main, so it shouldn't be much of a problem..22:50
neXyoncjwatson: I am happy with 2 months :D22:50
crimsunalkisg: it really makes more sense to explicitly seed the appropriate backend, then22:51
