lamontpersia: gar02:26
lamonthow soon do we care enough about that for me to care?02:26
persialamont: I just noticed it was broken, and did the bootstrap, discovering it was not so hard.  Sometime prior to release would be nice, preferably prior to beta.02:27
persiaI have some debs, but I don't expect you to trust mine, even if I sign them :)02:28
lamontok.  I have a todo item to document this process and train one of the admins - so I think I'll document the pain and turn them loose - prolly 2-3 weeks. failing that, it'll be before the end of feb02:28
lamontpersia: the process is simple - I grab the tarball, unpack it on a spare ppc box, install the needed extra cruft in it, build the package, take _those_ debs, lob them in the again freshly unpacked tarball (installed), put all the ppc buildds on   manual, upload the hacked over tarball, build what needs to be built, and then restore the pristine tarball.02:29

lamontand yeah, using the sid binaries02:30
persialamont: Yeah, because it doesn't work with the squeeze binaries (or didn't yesterday) :)02:31
persiaBut training someone else does sound like the best plan :)02:31
lamontso... ticket in RT, depends on my ticket to document things, due 1 march.  that should work out properly02:33
persiaThanks.02:34
lamontand since it's in universe, it's a perfect testcase02:34
lamontgcc-snapshot/armel will be my testcase to make sure I like the wiki02:35
persiaI didn't see any bootstrap issues in main this weekend, so, fingers-crossed, it should be a while before that becomes a concern.02:35
lamontgcc-snapshot/armel (for ada) is on my radar for this week02:35
persiaDoes gcc-snapshot really need bootstrapping as binary?  Wouldn't it be easier to build it for all arches with gcc, and then rebuild with itself with source changes?02:36
lamontfwiw, I took the bug02:36
lamontno.  snapshot is turning on ada on armel...  so it has to bootstrap somewhere... bootstrapping it in snapshot is less of a pain, since it allows for testing before it goes 100% live02:36
persiaAha.02:36
lamontor some feature, at any rate... I'll admit to being a tad but fuzzy on it, having not read the ticket today02:37
persiaHrm.  it seems in happier shape than I remembered.  I thought it failed on more arches.  But looking again, yeah, bootstrap for armel seems easiest.02:38
ScottKslangasek: Did you finish your archive admin duties for today?  I was sort of hoping unbound would get out of binary New so I could transition it's reverse-build-depends tonight.02:52

ccheneymicahg: not sure what is wrong04:08
ccheneymicahg: i'm going to see if it will boot into direct install mode04:08
ccheneyi think i should try booting a jaunty disk to see if that still works04:10
ccheneyah its still doing something for install mode, disk is just slow04:10
ccheneyyea karmic isn't working for me even in install only mode04:12
ccheneyprobably some video driver issue04:13
ccheneyomg its just hideously slow04:15

ccheneyunfortunately i don't have a jaunty 64bit cd :-\04:30

ccheneyok04:30
slangasek(non-trivial to respin a karmic liveCD, anyway)04:31
ccheneywell it doesn't seem like a video issue really, it just runs very slowly off the cd, many times slower than the jaunty disc04:31
ccheneyto the point i didn't wait for the actual installer to display once X finally came up04:31

ccheneyits an older machine athlon 64 from 200404:37
ccheneythough maybe my front ports are just broken04:37

tseliotheh09:44
tkamppeterpitti, hi09:44
slangasektseliot: btw, in response to your earlier inquiry - we *shouldn't* include plymouth in the initramfs by default, but the package in the archive still does; the bzr branch has changes that should remove the need for it in the initramfs by default (I hope)09:45
ograslangasek, oh, hey ... thanks for the explanation above ... what i dont get is why plymouth seems to default to ubuntu-logo on the dove subarch but not on imx51, i didnt see any arch or HW specific tests or anything that could cause this09:45
tseliotslangasek: right. I was surprised to see what the package does09:46
slangasektseliot: and I added the details and text plugins to the initramfs because they're used as built-in fallbacks by plymouth, so we should always have them - except in the case of ubuntu-logo, the script plugin in the archive is broken; this is fixed in bzr09:46
slangasekogra: are you not booting with the 'splash' option on imx51?09:47
ograi do09:47
slangasekare you actually seeing text, or are you just /not/ seeing a logo?09:47
tseliotslangasek: what do you mean by broken?09:47
* tseliot is willing to bug upstream about it09:47
ograi'm seeing text and dont see a logo, the text seems to be the plymouth plugin though (i.e. fsck output is bold and the fonts slightly change on startup)09:48
slangasektseliot: see bzr for the fix :)  I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to submit it upstream yet; if you're on speaking terms w/ upstream, feel free to pushit09:49
ograrunning plymouth-set-default-theme ubuntu-logo and rebuilding the initramfs gets me the logo then09:49
slangasekor feel free to point me at hem09:49

ograiso it all seems fine apart from that step, i just dont get where the difference is regarding dove vs imx, they should behave the same unless there is any arch or HW specific check that prevents it09:51
ogra*so09:51
ograbutu the code doesnt indicate that there is09:51
ogra*but09:52
slangasekbut if running 'plymouth-set-default-theme ubuntu-logo' fixed it, this must be the fault of whatever set your theme to something else originally09:53
slangasekwhich doesn't seem to be the plymouth package itself09:53
ograwell, what *does* set the theme ? we dont have any imx specific code here :)09:54
slangasekno package is *supposed* to set the theme except for plymouth, and plymouth sets it right09:54

ograi was noticing the difference with the plymouth errors going away and the bold fsck output after the upgrade that pulled in plymouth10:00
ograi just didnt get a logo10:00
slangasekogra: well, then the fault for the wrong theme isn't with the plymouth package, whose code has worked correctly and consistently since 7 Dec10:00
ograsadly i missed to check the actual link for /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth but when i ran plymouth-set-default-theme for the first time it spit out "text"10:01
slangasekerrr, what do you mean, "the upgrade that pulled in plymouth"? plymouth was already included in A210:01

ograhmm, sad11:44
pittiogra: you could install an udev rule to disable that, of course11:44
pittibut not as normal user11:44
ograwell, but a udev rule would then apply to i.e. /dev/mmcblk0p2 ... what i look for is a way to just dont mount it based on a flag on the device, so if the user reformats he can actually make use of the partition11:45
ogramy prob is that we re-user the installation media as a "boot floppy" on imx51 ... the first partition holds the bootloader, kernel and the like, the second one still has the vfat with the livefs11:46
ogra*re-use11:46
ograso after install the second partition always gets automounted on the desktop11:47
pittiogra: the rule can match for anything -- partition types, labels, serial numbers, device names (in sysfs), etc.11:47
ogra(the first one is tagged as "non-fs-data" since it only holds raw stuff)11:47
pittiogra: /lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit-disks.rules has some examples for partitions which shouldn't be automounted (the recovery partition kind)11:48

ograi want the user to be able to use that space if he likes to11:48
ograi just dont want it to sit on the desktop as long as it carries the livefs11:49
ograi would just delete the second partition during install, the prob is that this is hard to do on a mounted livefs :)11:50
JanCogra: deleting it is no problem...  ;)11:55
ograoh ! i could just label the partition as "Recovery Partition" during creation !!11:55

tkamppeterpitti, about bug 493282, I plan to run a GSoC project for a compression method for PPD files (which due to the schedules of GSoC can only appear in Lucid+1), is it urgent that something has to be done on this bug for Lucid, like removing support for certain printers?14:22

directhexpitti, lack of cd space squeeze is down to gimp removal?14:29

pittikomputes: /proc/bus/usb has been deprecated since around dapper, I think19:37
superm1did something change recently that packages that aren't on the live media but in the archive are in the apt cache on the live media?19:37
pittikomputes: devices are in /dev/bus/usb19:37
superm1like within the last day or so19:37
pittikomputes: and /proc/bus/usb/devices is deprecated19:37
pittigood night everyone19:39
sorenkomputes: Yeah, what pitti said.19:39
sorenkomputes: It's bee deprecated since forever, and has been removed more and more as we went along.19:40
sorenFinally, we've removed support for USBFS entirely, IIRC.19:40
sorenThis shouldn't really be much of a surprise. Forcing users to jump through more and more hoops to get this to work wasn't just for fun :)19:40

cody-somervillekomputes, Well, I'm not going to do it. :P19:42
komputescody-somerville: I don't mean updating the docs, i mean losing the ability to use a usb device in a VM.19:42
sorenvirtualbox needs to get its shit together, get with the programme, join the rest of us in the new millenium and update to the new way of doing things. Dapper was a loong time ago.19:43
ograkomputes, whats the problem with using /dev/bus/usb instead ?19:43
komputessoren: sure, I will try to let them know. what is the proper way of doing this?19:43
sorenogra: It's a different layout.19:44
komputesogra: that it uses usbfs, which is apparantly depricated and no longer works in Lucid19:44
sorenogra: And different interface in lots of other ways.19:44
sorenogra: Oh, sorry, I misread what you said.19:44
ograright, but the single hook points still exist19:44
ograjust in a different layout19:44
komputesogra: testing with /dev/bus/usb...19:45
ograkomputes, if it expects a usbfs layout thst indeed might not work19:45
ogra*that19:46
ograi.e. you cant just change the path19:46
komputesogra: the line in fstab is now "none /dev/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0"19:46
ograthats likely not working, you just expose the other path but the layout changes are unlikely to be known by vbox19:47
komputessoren: so what should I request from vbox regarding "update to the new way of doing things"? Link explaining our changes?19:48
cyphermoxkomputes, I had been having major issues with virtualbox-ose to talk to USB devices... AFAIK there is no way to do it (I very well may be mistaken), however Sun's Virtualbox works just fine without modifying any files19:49
sorenkomputes: I'm not sure. Tell them about this think called the kernel. :)19:49
komputescyphermox: only plue does usb support, now in lucid neither do usb support...19:49
komputessoren: lol19:49
ograkomputes, tell them that usbfs is deprecated since several years now and they should port to the actual handling of usb devices ...19:49
ograthey need to read up on it anyway it seems :)19:50
* ogra goes afk now 19:50

cyphermoxI'm trying to figure out with the package 'congruity' won't get automatically imported from testing. Could it be because it's in 3.0 (quilt) format?19:59

douglasawh-workdirecthex geser, the details aren't worked out yet, so I can't give too many details. I spoke with a developer of the project this morning and he discussed problems they've had in the past20:41
douglasawh-workI said I'd be willing to maintain it for ubuntu, but that's about where we are right now. There are a ton of dependencies.  They run their own repo right now. Not entirely sure a PPA would be better, but I'm looking into it20:42
directhexdouglasawh-work, right. but it's worth bouncing ideas off the current mono maintainers, surely? they have years of experience in this stuff20:43
douglasawh-workdirecthex: indeed.  I'll do that.  I'll get all the versioning stuff worked out first.  I just wanted some baseline knowledge about that structure.  I also don't know how far back we'll want to go, so there's probably not a lot of chance of getting the latest mono in, say, 8.0420:46
directhexdouglasawh-work, indeed not. mono backports are excluded from the ubuntu-backports repository, due to regression risk on core frameworks. but packages may well already exist on a ppa20:47

anon^_^after a period of time, an applet appears in tasktray area22:19
anon^_^http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2503/whatisthis3.png22:19
anon^_^if mouse is moved, or a key is pressed on keyboard, this applet/icon will disappear from the tasktray area22:20
anon^_^behavior appears to be tied to some sort of idle timer22:20
anon^_^i had to use a camera to take this image, pressing print screen key would result in input from keyboard and applet would disappear22:22
RAOFanon^_^: I know what you're looking at; it's a gnome-power-manager notification that the idle timer needs to be fixed in X, IIRC.22:33

anon^_^I take it a patch/backport isn't expected for Karmic then?22:35
ionPerhaps look at /usr/share/icons in case you find the icon with a meaningful name.22:36
RAOFIt's probably too minor an issue for a Karmic stable-release-update; it doesn't actually break anything much, so the danger in trying to fix it probably outweighs the benefits of fixing it.22:36
