| funkyHat | Is it necessary for apt to run "Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/..." so many times during installation of fonts? Or would it be possible/preferable to have that queued up until the end, like some other things are? | 01:07 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottK | That would take someone implementing a dpkg trigger for it. | 01:13 |
| === micahg1 is now known as micahg | ||
| Laney | which is not necessarily a hard task with file triggers | 01:15 |
| ScottK | Just takes someone to do it. | 01:15 |
| Laney | someone... who cares about such a problem... | 01:16 |
| * Laney peers at funkyHat | 01:16 | |
| ScottK | Laney: Exactly. | 01:16 |
| funkyHat | Problem is I've now installed all the fonts in the world, so I won't have anything to test it with ⡈( | 01:17 |
| funkyHat | ;P | 01:17 |
| Laney | we have chroots for this ;) | 01:17 |
| funkyHat | I knew that excuse wouldn't work! | 01:18 |
| * sebner throws a virtual machine at funkyHat | 01:19 | |
| * funkyHat puts it on the pile in the corner | 01:20 | |
| funkyHat | Looking at the dpkg triggers page it looks like every font package is going to need changing to use triggers | 01:26 |
| ScottK | Probably a change best coordinated through the Debian fonts packaging team | 01:27 |
| ScottK | (I don't recall its exact name) | 01:27 |
| funkyHat | Yeah | 01:28 |
| funkyHat | Was going to say probably best if this is dealt with with Debian's packages | 01:28 |
| ScottK | Someone should probably go talk to them about it. | 01:29 |
| * ScottK wonders who might be a candidate? | 01:29 | |
| RAOF | If there's a dh_font or somesuch it'd probably only take a change to fontconfig + a rebuild for all the font packages. | 01:29 |
| funkyHat | ScottK: I'm having a look through their mailing lists to see if it's already been discussed | 01:30 |
| ScottK | Excellent | 01:30 |
| funkyHat | Yep, fixed in fontconfig 2.8.0-2 it seems ⡈) | 01:37 |

| Some_Person | Is anyone here? | 04:08 |
| xnox | yes | 04:09 |
| Some_Person | I want to know why nobody has fixed an easy as heck bug involving human-theme and gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks | 04:09 |
| Some_Person | It's been around since Intrepid's release | 04:09 |
| xnox | I did actually quish a comple of human-theme bugs | 04:10 |
| Some_Person | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntulooks/+bug/285417 | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 285417 in ubuntulooks "[intrepid] gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks can't be installed" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 04:10 |
| xnox | but it's no longer default | 04:10 |
| xnox | we use humanity now | 04:10 |
| Some_Person | I fixed the bug myself for karmic in my PPA and could easily do the same for lucid | 04:10 |
| Some_Person | Yes, but some themes still use ubuntulooks, and when you try to install that engine, human-theme has to go for no good reason | 04:11 |
| Some_Person | For example, blubuntu in the repos | 04:11 |
| Some_Person | I'm puzzled as to why this hasn't been fixed | 04:13 |
| xnox | Looks valid to me | 04:14 |
| ScottK | Then you haven't looked at the mountain of bugs open Launchpad and done a realistic assemement of the priority of problems like this. | 04:14 |
| xnox | My guess there was a lot of shouting in the bug report | 04:14 |
| Some_Person | I understand that, but shouldn't older ones be tackled first? Especially trivial ones like this one where the fix is extremely easy? | 04:15 |
| xnox | my suggestion would be to branch lp:ubuntu/packages both of them | 04:15 |
| xnox | commit your fixes and push it back to lp:~user/ubuntu/ludic/package/my-fixes | 04:15 |
| ScottK | Some_Person: If you have the fix, you could attach a debdiff to the bug and subscribe the relevant sponsorship team to the bug. | 04:15 |
| xnox | and then seek sponsors from the sponsors team | 04:16 |
| ScottK | Either way works | 04:16 |
| Some_Person | I have the fix for karmic and I can almost certainly make one for lucid too | 04:16 |
| xnox | And the reason why it wasn't fixed is because it's no longer in the default install and this really doesn't cut it for the Strable Release Update | 04:17 |
| xnox | you can still installing by removing those packages ;-) | 04:17 |
| Some_Person | Yes, but it makes no sense to have to needlessly remove human-theme | 04:18 |
| xnox | do a fix against lucid attach it to the bug, _explain_ nicely in one or two sentences what this fix is about and subscribe ~ubuntu-universe-sponsors | 04:19 |
| xnox | works for me ;-) I get either a quick comment from sponsor what's wrong, or I get email from LaunchPad saying it got uploaded ;-) | 04:19 |
| Some_Person | One question, when I make the debdiff, should the Maintainer field in the control file be me or what? | 04:24 |
| ScottK | Some_Person: What's there now? | 04:28 |
| Some_Person | the original one that's in karmic ("Sebastien Bacher <seb128@canonical.com>") | 04:28 |
| Some_Person | actually, sorry, i'm wrong | 04:29 |
| Some_Person | my name is actually in there | 04:29 |
| xnox | Some_Person: keep the maintainer name the same | 04:31 |
| Some_Person | ok, i'll change it back then | 04:31 |
| xnox | just add "[ Your Name ]" in debian/changelog | 04:31 |

| xnox | no need to move the folder | 04:47 |
| xnox | and no need to patch configure | 04:47 |
| xnox | just use appropriate *.install files and configure options to define new package-name prefix | 04:48 |

| tseliot | yes, of course | 11:39 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, hi | 13:53 |
| pitti | hey tkamppeter | 13:55 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, it is about bug #369850 | 13:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 369850 in linux "Cannot set up parallel port printer on Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/369850 | 13:57 |
| tkamppeter | people complain that with recent Ubuntu versions they cannot use parallel printers and in the bug report it is told that loading the parport_pc kernel module solves the problem. | 13:58 |
| tkamppeter | Semms that the presence of a parallel port or plugging a printer to it does not auto-load the module. | 13:58 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, should the startup script of CUPS load this module? Or do need the udev rules for the parallel port get a correction (load parport_pc in addition)? | 13:59 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: which udev rule do you mean? if that can be fixed, it'd be much much better than loading it in the init script | 14:05 |
| pitti | (this should really only be done after a large discussion) | 14:06 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I do not know which udev rule, but what loads the modules lp, parport, and ppdev (they are all loaded on my laptop which does not have a parallel port)? | 14:07 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: cups' init script already loads lp and ppdev | 14:08 |
| pitti | and ppdev depends on parport | 14:08 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so then CUPS' init script should also load parport_pc. How could that get overlooked? | 14:09 |
| pitti | I don't know, I don't have a parport printer (or a port, for that matter) | 14:09 |
| pitti | anyway, cups' init script _should_ not modprobe anything at all | 14:09 |
| pitti | it means that all the parport code gets loaded for everyone, even on machines where you don't need it | 14:10 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: perhaps in the past parport_pc was a dependency of lp or ppdev? | 14:10 |
| ion | lp is also in the default /etc/modules for some reason. | 14:10 |
| pitti | ion: the reason is that it cannot be autodetected by the kernel right now | 14:10 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, from the bug report we know that parport_pc is needed, and so parport_pc should be loaded by the same mechanism which loads also the other parallel port kernel modules. | 14:11 |
| tkamppeter | So perhaps we should load them all via /etc/modules, but then we have the same problem as with CUPS, the modules get also loaded on machines without parport. | 14:11 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I'd first ask for an udev dump to check whether we can load it in an udev rule | 14:12 |
| pitti | depending on whether the system has a parallel port in the first place | 14:12 |
| pitti | then we can also drop the other modprobes in cups | 14:12 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, can you ask on bug 369850? Or tell me exactly which command the user should execute? He should execute it once wioth printer turned on and once with printer turned off. | 14:14 |

| cody-somerville | pitti, The developer of xfce4-power-manager mentioned to me that he doesn't want to merge in his devicekit branch and do a release because he heard that they're planning to rename devicekit. Have you heard anything about this? | 14:45 |
| pitti | cody-somerville: devicekit-power will be renamed to upower at some point | 14:48 |
| pitti | cody-somerville: but the migration to that is a simple sed | 14:48 |
| chrisccoulson | pitti - have you seen hughsie's recent e-mail to desktop-devel? | 14:49 |
| pitti | chrisccoulson: no, I'm not on that list | 14:49 |
| chrisccoulson | "I'm intending to keep the devkit-power-gobject library API and ABI stable at least for a few months, and ship a new library side-by-side to allow applications to port during their development cycle, and not to cause pain to the distros." | 14:49 |
| chrisccoulson | so, he's planning to rename the D-Bus interface, but keep the library API stable for a little while | 14:49 |
| chrisccoulson | so, it will only break applications that use the D-Bus interface directly | 14:50 |
| pitti | right | 14:51 |
| pitti | but hopefully that won't be too many | 14:51 |
| pitti | chrisccoulson: ah, actually I did get it; apparently CC'ed to devkit-devel@ | 14:51 |
| chrisccoulson | pitti - ah, yeah, he sent it to devkit-devel and not desktop-devel | 14:52 |
| chrisccoulson | i forgot that i'm subscribed to the former | 14:52 |
| d1b | re my question before, please ignore it. while the behaviour of firefox in ubuntu differs from normal firefox, the site provided incorrect CA information. | 15:01 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, OK, thanks. | 15:14 |
| cody-somerville | chrisccoulson, pitti: xfce4-power-manager does use the dbus interface. Aliov also says " Richard told me that the daemon, even moving it to upower, will bit change a lot, i'm just waiting if this is the case, then xfpm's devkit-power is almost ready.". | 15:14 |
| cody-somerville | chrisccoulson, pitti: How are other folks mitigating this issue? | 15:14 |
| pitti | cody-somerville: like g-p-m? they'll just be updated along, I figure | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | zul: at some point could you please set packages you upload to have their Maintainer as ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com rather than ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com? The effect of the latter is that ubuntu-reviews gets a mail in its moderation queue every time you upload something | 15:20 |

| apw | pitti, something is sick with the current lucid.db ... | 15:38 |

| pitti | apw: I'll look into it, thanks | 15:40 |
| pitti | apw: I still have a backup from this morning (with the old format 1), which doesn't have this problem | 15:40 |
| apw | pitti, dunno if its relevant but when i tried to use the db with older code it was whining about ambigious milestone | 15:41 |
| pitti | apw: fun, since it's a foreign key to milestones, and "milestone" is not in milestones | 15:41 |
| pitti | apw: the ambiguity was fixed in r100 and r102, do you have those? | 15:42 |
| apw | yeah do now, just wondered if there was a connection, sounds like not | 15:42 |

| Burn | has somebody seen the same behavior? | 19:52 |
| ScottK | Burn: You probably want #ubuntu+1 | 19:53 |
| Burn | ScottK: ok, will take a look there | 19:53 |

| Burn | thx | 19:55 |
| sladen | mdeslaur: traditionally Debian/Ubuntu security notices have given a one-sentence or one-paragraph to covering what the software with the security issue does. | 19:58 |
| sladen | mdeslaur: both of today's USNs for pidgin and libthai just dived straight into the security issue without providing the high-level context | 19:59 |
| mdeslaur | sladen: Debian does that. Ubuntu has never done that. It's something we're looking to improve soon. | 20:00 |
| sladen | mdeslaur: would it to be possible to to return to including a short summary "libthai is..." | 20:01 |
| mdeslaur | sladen: yes, we already have plans for that. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Specifications/USNSpec and https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/security-karmic-usn-format | 20:02 |
| kees | sladen: you're saying that USN-885-1 and USN-887-1 have a different layout? | 20:03 |
| sladen | mdeslaur: reading back to earlier USNs (http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/), I might (politely) agree to disagree; eg. "...xpdf, a viewer for PDF files". | 20:04 |
| kees | sladen: ubuntu has never had the software summary (but we plan to) | 20:04 |
| sladen | mdeslaur: it's certainly not as consistent as Debian, I'll agree with that | 20:04 |
| mdeslaur | sladen: which USN are you looking at that has that info? | 20:04 |
| sladen | kees: "never" is a very strong word, just disproved above(?) | 20:04 |
| kees | sladen: where? | 20:05 |
| sladen | http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2-1 | 20:05 |
| kees | sladen: heh, well, alright. "Since 2005, Ubuntu has never..." ;) | 20:06 |
| kees | but anyway, we've got plans to make a distinct section that only describes the software, separate from vulnerability descriptions. | 20:07 |
| sladen | kees: I mainly noticed on this occasion, because I went "wtf is libthai?" | 20:07 |
| kees | heh. :) | 20:08 |
| sladen | fwiw, http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-72-1 "The package "perl-suid" provides a wrapper around perl which allows to use setuid-root perl scripts" | 20:09 |
| maco | wow that seems like a rather unnecessary description | 20:10 |
| sladen | maco: ...perhaps, but if the inclusive introductary language (with a high-level description) helps to get a security update applied where it might be ignored, then it's a result | 20:11 |
| sladen | kees mdeslaur: thanks for the confirmation that it's "in the works" | 20:13 |
| kees | sladen: "no USN written by me, jdstrand, or mdeslaur ...." :) while it shows my name on that one, it's just because I rebuilt the USN history. I think these early USNs were still being written "freehand" by pitti, and there was no templating system in place yet. | 20:13 |
| * kees nods | 20:13 | |
| mdeslaur | thanks for your comment sladen, it's much appreciated | 20:14 |
| barry | ScottK: did you see this: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~barry/ubuntu/lucid/distribute/sync-to-sid/+merge/17425 | 20:15 |
| ScottK | barry: I did not. Looking | 20:15 |
| ScottK | barry: The trick is that as a sponsor, I need to see the diff from the current Debian package and the packaging diffs from the current Ubuntu package. I'm not sure how to do that. | 20:17 |
| barry | me neither :/ maybe using some combination of commands that you outlined in your recent udd message? | 20:18 |
| barry | ScottK: i could try to generate though | 20:18 |
| ScottK | Not sure. Probably. Am busy with $WORK at the moment, but if merge proposals are going to be useful pages for merges from Debian, I think it needs to be available. | 20:19 |
| barry | good point, that means the auto-generated diff isn't enough. okay, let me see what i can do. go back to $WORK :) | 20:20 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: since you need to check out the Ubuntu branch anyway, you can use the bzr diff --old command in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/Merging | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | you'd just do 'bzr merge lp:~barry/ubuntu/lucid/distribute/sync-to-sid' instead of merge-package | 20:50 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: True. It'd be nice to see the diffs on the merge proposal as a lot of them that's all it needs to send them back for more work. | 20:51 |
| barry | or approve them <wink> | 20:51 |
| barry | cjwatson, ScottK that's essentially what i did. i merged lp:debian/sid/distribute and lp:ubuntu/lucid/distribute locally, then did the bzr diff --old commands and pastebin'd them. those are linked in mp comments | 20:52 |
| ScottK | Ah. | 20:53 |
| * ScottK looks again | 20:53 | |
| ScottK | barry: Why did you add python2.5-dev to the build-depends? | 20:54 |
| barry | ScottK: which diff are you looking at? i didn't think i did | 20:56 |
| barry | ScottK: ah, diff against sid | 20:57 |
| ScottK | Yes | 20:57 |
| barry | ScottK: i guess that's coming from the ubuntu package. it wasn't a change i made explicitly | 20:57 |
| ScottK | Since Python 2.5 isn't a supported Python in Lucid, I'm reasonably certain we don't need it. | 20:58 |
| barry | i should remove that then | 20:58 |
| ScottK | It looks like there are a few other places that have extra 2.5's in them | 20:58 |
| ScottK | Specifically pyvers in debian/rules | 20:59 |
| barry | ScottK: i guess i should remove the "PYVERS := 2.4 2.5" line? | 21:00 |
| lool | jdstrand: Re: FORWARD rules for vms/libvirt in ufw -- actually libvirt already manages to add its rules for the dnsmasq virbr0 already | 21:00 |
| lool | So at least that seems to work out of the box; probably not for other networks though | 21:01 |

| barry | ScottK: i'm looking at the distribute package and i can't see where debian/python-distribute.debhelper.log or debian/python-distribute.substvars are even needed. the latter is referenced in rules, but commented out. is there something i'm missing or can i just rm those files? | 21:53 |
| ScottK | barry: The debhelper logs are autogenerated cruft and can be ignored/removed. | 21:54 |
| ScottK | Same thing with substvars. | 21:54 |
| ScottK | I'd leave them though to miminze the diff. | 21:55 |
| barry | ScottK: okay. i'll revert the changes to the .substvars file to reduce diff clutter | 21:56 |
