| cjwatson | thanks | 00:02 |
| cjwatson | you could test http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/dpkg/lucid/ too if you like ... | 00:03 |

| cjwatson | I test-built and test-double-installed it, but didn't do performance testing | 00:08 |
| jibel | cjwatson, I test install/upgrade/removal/purge followed by a crash and check if all the files are there and in good shape | 00:12 |

| psusi | is there anyone who can give me some tips on debugging what appears to be an infinite udev loop? lucid alpha 3 hangs during boot for me with dmraid enabled and when I run udevadm monitor from the busybox after it times out, it appears to be processing infinite change events from sda and sdb | 00:33 |
| psusi | I guess what I need is to see exactly what udev is attempting to do to process the events, and exactly what the events are... udevadm monitor just mentions they are change events... I need more details... any ideas on how to get some? | 00:51 |
| jibel | cjwatson, the latest git does not work. | 01:38 |

| alkisg | cjwatson: could you please excuse a direct question about update-binfmts? `chroot "$ROOT" mount -t proc proc /proc && chroot "$ROOT" update-binfmts --import wine && umount "$ROOT/proc"` ==> this complains about $ROOT/proc being in use. | 06:17 |
| alkisg | So I'd like to prevent update-binfmts from executing `if (system ('/bin/mount', '-t', 'binfmt_misc', '-o', 'nodev,noexec,nosuid', 'binfmt_misc', $procdir))` | 06:17 |

| seb128 | hi | 08:48 |
| seb128 | will look at that later, could you open a bug about it? | 08:48 |
| lifeless | seb128: there's an upstream bug | 08:56 |
| lifeless | seb128: or do you mean an ubuntu one, just to track it ? | 08:56 |
| * lifeless thinks merge proposals shouldn't also need bugs; its redundant | 08:56 | |
| seb128 | we don't track merge proposal so it's just going to be ignored the current way | 09:00 |
| pitti | they are on the sponsoring queue righht now | 09:00 |
| seb128 | our current workflow is designed around bug reports and sponsoring | 09:00 |
| seb128 | pitti, well I don't track that either atm, ETOOMUCH | 09:00 |
| pitti | but there are so many, that they get lost in the crowd | 09:00 |
| seb128 | but if somebody else do good | 09:00 |
| pitti | seb128: *nod* | 09:00 |
| seb128 | I'm just telling that you of having a bug it will fell of my radar | 09:01 |
| seb128 | but if it's coming from upstream no need to bother about it | 09:01 |
| seb128 | new tarballs are due today | 09:01 |
| persia | seb128: Have you looked at dholbach's sponsoring overview page? Does that not work for you? It's supposed to simplify stuff. | 09:01 |
| seb128 | persia, I did, I'm just so overloaded with tasks that I've no time to look at sponsoring recently | 09:01 |
| lifeless | seb128: they are putting it *after* the new release. | 09:02 |
| seb128 | why? | 09:02 |
| lifeless | dunno | 09:02 |
| lifeless | 'Looks like an ok addition to me, but at this point, it should wait until we get | 09:02 |
| seb128 | in which case do we want it in lucid if upstream thinks it's not suitable for the current serie? | 09:02 |
| lifeless | 2.24 out.' | 09:02 |
| persia | seb128: OK. When you have a chance, please file bugs, as making your life easy is important. | 09:02 |
| lifeless | seb128: I think we do | 09:02 |
| lifeless | seb128: because it lets the dx stuff - dbusmenu etc - have their tests introspected by hudson | 09:03 |
| seb128 | persia, will do, one issue right now is the number of random bzr junks listed there and finding items revelant to you or your team too | 09:03 |
| lifeless | njpatel: ^ look up for the merge proposal | 09:03 |
| seb128 | shrug | 09:03 |
| seb128 | open a bug with a rational | 09:03 |
| lifeless | seb128: doing so | 09:03 |
| seb128 | so we can discuss ffe there | 09:03 |
| njpatel | oh, seb128's here! morning dude :) | 09:03 |
| seb128 | hey njpatel | 09:04 |

| al-maisan | Is there any particular reason why the most recent vim version in lucid was compiled w/o python support? | 09:05 |
| persia | al-maisan: The latest upload was supposed to be a no-changes rebuild. Check the build-log (I'm sure it wasn't intentional) | 09:08 |
| * al-maisan looks at the build log | 09:08 | |
| al-maisan | In any case, it breaks plugins like vim-pyflakes and I guess quite a few Ubuntu users would be using vim along with python | 09:09 |
| persia | al-maisan: Please fix :) | 09:09 |
| persia | (although I think geser was also doing some vim work: check the sponsors queue) | 09:10 |
| al-maisan | persia: let me have a look first, maybe something is in the pipeline already. | 09:10 |
| dholbach | persia: james_w has landed a fix in LP that will remove the irrelevant branches | 09:14 |
| geser | al-maisan: my vim merge awaiting sponsoring fixes this problem | 09:14 |
| * dholbach really goes out now | 09:14 | |
| persia | dholbach: Cool. Thanks for pulling that off my TODO list :) | 09:14 |
| al-maisan | geser: great! | 09:14 |
| * al-maisan takes a look at vim-nox (a separate package with built-in python support but no gui) | 09:15 | |
| geser | al-maisan: the problem is that vim uses MODLIBS from python (which should be only used by python itself) and tries to link with -lssl (and libopenssl-dev is not installed). all vim flavours are affected | 09:16 |
| al-maisan | geser: ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. | 09:17 |
| geser | al-maisan: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~geser/ubuntu/lucid/vim/merge-7.2.330-1/revision/55 if you want to cherry-pick from my merge | 09:20 |

| cjwatson | alkisg: the contract for update-binfmts --import is that the new format ends up enabled in the kernel at the end of it; I'm not sure how to satisfy that contract withoutmounting binfmt_misc | 10:13 |
| alkisg | cjwatson: could I just divert update-binfmts to work around it? | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | alkisg: you could umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc afterwards | 10:14 |
| alkisg | I think I tried that but it didn't work, /me looks again... | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | don't see why it shouldn't | 10:14 |
| alkisg | cjwatson: worked fine, thanks a lot. I'll convert the bug into a question :) | 10:17 |
| cjwatson | uh | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | just 'cos there's a workaround doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't a bug | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | of some kind | 10:18 |
| alkisg | cjwatson: ah, should I leave it open then? | 10:18 |
| alkisg | Ok, I'll comment about the workaround there and leave it open. | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | I've commented | 10:19 |
| cjwatson | we could for example alleviate the unmounting problem by automatically unmounting after an import if it wasn't mounted before | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | but leaving it mounted on normal init script startup | 10:20 |
| alkisg | Yeah, that sounds good | 10:20 |
| alkisg | Another way could be to check for an environment variable | 10:20 |
| alkisg | E.g. "IN_CHROOT=True" or something... | 10:21 |
| === Guest78773 is now known as NCommander | ||
| cjwatson | alkisg: I don't want to require an environment variable to work "properly", whatever properly might be | 10:25 |
| === NCommander is now known as Guest33867 | ||
| cjwatson | particularly not a non-standard one that might end up varying between programs | 10:25 |
| cjwatson | IN_CHROOT=True RUNNING_IN_CHROOT=true CHROOT_SAFE=1 ARGH=foo | 10:26 |
| alkisg | Sure, it would be a hack, not a proper solution. | 10:26 |

| === mcasadevall_ is now known as NCommander | ||
| cjwatson | there are certainly better ways | 10:27 |
| * ogra thinks if linux containers would be easier to use that would solve a lot chroot /proc probs :) | 10:28 | |
| cjwatson | the kernel should just do the right thing by default | 10:28 |
| ogra | or that | 10:28 |
| cjwatson | it shouldn't require special action from userspace | 10:28 |
| mok0 | Why am I getting 2 popup notifications? It really bugs me | 10:28 |
| alkisg | Linux containers would be a fine way to create/maintain ltsp chroots, but it would require a lot of rewriting. :-/ | 10:29 |
| ogra | alkisg, yeah, thats my complaint | 10:29 |

| slacker_nl | mvo: i've also added a -V option to do-release upgrade, do I need to create a new bug to submit the patch, just mail it to you? | 10:43 |
| mvo | slacker_nl: thanks, the patch looks fine, I will apply it (the -c one) | 10:44 |
| mvo | slacker_nl: best is either to submit a bzr branch or mail me | 10:44 |
| mvo | slacker_nl: I'm usually slow with the bugreports (unfortunately :( | 10:45 |
| slacker_nl | mvo: i don't agree with the last thing, i've seen your quick responses ;). I'll mail you the patch for -V | 10:45 |
| mvo | slacker_nl: cool, thanks! | 10:46 |
| mvo | slacker_nl: for patches and the like you can also always ping me on irc :) | 10:46 |
| slacker_nl | mvo: cool | 10:46 |
| slacker_nl | last question, manpages, I know I read the bug report with missing manpages, and now it seems you have manpages already, do you still need docbook manpages (started on it anyways, for the heck of it) | 10:47 |
| slacker_nl | mvo: ^^ | 10:50 |
| mvo | slacker_nl: docbook is nice becasue it makes translations of the manpage easier, but because we are releatively late in the cycle I think its not critical to convert it now | 10:50 |
| mvo | in the longer run using a xml format like docbook is nice, maybe you can get in touch with the ubuntu documentation team? | 10:50 |
| slacker_nl | mvo: I will, I'll keep working on them, submit them, you decide when it will hit the shops :) | 10:51 |

| lidaobing | cjohnston, I have uploaded the new version, but you still need wait some time before it is ready. | 11:16 |
| Riddell | pitti: it would be nice, let's see what's still in rdepends | 11:17 |
| pitti | Riddell: I listed them on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/Lucid/DuplicatedPackages | 11:17 |
| pitti | Riddell: many are supposedly just bindings (avahi, poppler, etc.) | 11:17 |
| pitti | Riddell: e. g. libavahi-qt3-1 is not used by anything in main, just from the old kdelibs4c2a | 11:18 |
| Riddell | pitti: lsb-desktop and scribus are the tricky areas I'd think | 11:18 |
| pitti | Riddell: cases like these (source in main, binary which could go to universe) the resolution is a little tricky, though | 11:18 |
| pitti | Riddell: since you would need the Qt3 b-dep in main if you want to build avahi-qt3 at all | 11:19 |
| pitti | Riddell: oh, lsb still requires Qt3? | 11:19 |
| Riddell | yes, it's part of the standard (LSB seems to be unmaintained as far as I can tell) | 11:20 |
| pitti | well, it's maintained, but I guess they are slow to catch up | 11:20 |
| pitti | Riddell: lsb-dekstop depends on lsb-qt4, though | 11:21 |
| pitti | Riddell: where do you see the lsb qt3 rdep? | 11:21 |
| Riddell | it Provides lsb-qt4, it depends on libqt3-mt and libqt4-gui | 11:22 |
| pitti | that sounds wrong | 11:22 |
| Riddell | why? qt3 and qt4 are both part of LSB | 11:26 |
| pitti | in the same version? (4.0) | 11:26 |
| Riddell | I believe so yes | 11:27 |
| Riddell | although I can't actually find it online to confirm, but I'm sure we looked at it last UDS | 11:27 |

| chrisccoulson | does anybody know if doko is likely to be around today? | 11:47 |
| amitk | cjwatson: the init goes by too quickly to tell me what the real problem is (in recovery mode) and break=init doesn't hit the problem. Any other ways to store the messageS? | 11:47 |
| amitk | \sh: how did you solve it? | 11:47 |
| amitk | AFAICT the only thing I did to get it "working" was update-initramfs | 11:48 |
| \sh | amitk: I didn't .. I removed the lvm devices (I was lucky to not have /home or whatever important on it) | 11:48 |
| \sh | amitk: and asked here...but nobody had problems at this time... | 11:48 |
| \sh | amitk: what I did was creating a new volume group on /dev/cciss/c0d0p9 + adding some logica volumes, adding them (xfs fs) to fstab and hit reboot...machine came up and was "waiting...." | 11:52 |
| amitk | \sh: sounds like what I did. Added a new VG, some LVs, formatted them and added them to /etc/fstab with the right /dev/mapper/foo paths | 11:54 |
| \sh | amitk: well I used /dev/<vg identifier>/<lv identifier> same thing.... | 11:54 |
| \sh | amitk: funny part, I did a reinstall, d-i partitioner got the vg device and failed somehow...I didn't check the logfiles (my bad) because I had no time...needed to bring the machine up and running | 11:55 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | I would like some help with preseeding. Could somebody take a look at my preseed.conf and tell me what I am doing wrong please? | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | sure | 14:45 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | it's here: http://pastebin.com/QPhxM4MB | 14:45 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjohnston: for some reason, I cannot get this to partition an LVM correctly | 14:46 |
| cjwatson | I'm cjwatson not cjohnston; careful with that tab-completion :) | 14:46 |
| cjwatson | can I also see the syslog and partman logs from the installer, please? | 14:47 |
| === robbiew_ is now known as robbiew | ||
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: right now, with the current configuration, it makes a boot partition, a single LVM, and a root directory inside the LVM. | 14:47 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | hah. whoops | 14:47 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | sorry mr. johnston | 14:47 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: can I get back to you with those in a bit? I need to re-run the installation with the seed I sent you. | 14:48 |
| robbiew | pitti: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lucid-duplicated-packages has been approved ;) | 14:48 |
| pitti | robbiew: schweet | 14:48 |
| pitti | robbiew: that was a hard debate :-P | 14:49 |
| robbiew | lol | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: at a first glance, I think you should remove $lvmok{ } from /boot (assuming that you don't want it to be a logical volume?) and add $defaultignore{ } to the other partitions you want to be LVs as well as / | 14:49 |
| * _UsUrPeR_ follows advise | 14:49 | |
| cjwatson | that may not be enough though - logs may help | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | I think that will probably amount to tidying up rather than actually fixing your problem, although I always have to look up the exact semantics of $defaultignore{ } and friends | 14:50 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: ok, I'm running through an install with the new settings now | 14:51 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I'll get the logs as soon as the installation is complete | 14:51 |

| pitti | ttx: thanks for the asm research | 15:05 |
| ttx | pitti: easy one, I already did it :) | 15:06 |
| pitti | yep, just saw | 15:06 |
| ttx | pitti: the goal is to demote to universe, or get rid of them ? | 15:06 |
| pitti | ttx: primarily, universe | 15:06 |
| pitti | if we can remove any of those completely, bonus of course | 15:06 |
| pitti | ttx: any hope for the three servlet APIs? | 15:06 |
| ttx | pitti: There is some concerted effort between ubuntu and debian java to get rid completely of 2.3 and 2.4, but it's blocking on some packages (struts for 2.3, eclipse for 2.4) | 15:07 |
| ttx | however, keeping them out of main might be doable | 15:07 |
| ttx | (especially 2.3) | 15:08 |
| pitti | ttx: if we can migrate away at least some, then this would at least help with bug fixing (you need to fix bugs in just one place, not three) | 15:08 |
| pitti | so there's some benefit even if there's one remaining sucker package which needs the old API still :) | 15:08 |
| ttx | pitti: that was the original goal of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-lucid-java-library-fixes | 15:08 |

| mvo | tseliot: I get a fsck while plymouth is running - all I see on the screen is a big [C] in the center. is this a known bug? are you the right person to ask? | 15:22 |
| tseliot | mvo: what graphics driver are you using? | 15:22 |
| mvo | tseliot: this time I booted with nofb, before I was using nouveau but only got a blank screen | 15:23 |
| mvo | tseliot: I also have a flickering bar (in ascii) | 15:23 |
| tseliot | mvo: I guess this time you used the text plugin | 15:23 |
| mvo | right, but shouldn't it show me something else in addition to the [C] ? | 15:23 |
| tseliot | Keybuk: ^^ | 15:24 |
| Keybuk | mvo: yes, eventually ;) | 15:24 |
| mvo | Keybuk: aha, known issue? thats fine then | 15:24 |
| * tseliot 's theme is supposed to work with drm renderers | 15:24 | |
| Keybuk | tseliot: sounds like he's got the text plugin | 15:24 |
| tseliot | right | 15:25 |
| * mvo waits until the fsck finishes | 15:25 | |
| tseliot | which is why I asked you | 15:25 |
| Riddell | ev: any plans to review shtylman's ubiquity changes? | 15:25 |
| sebner | tseliot: btw, using the actual nvidia driver it's ~1-2° hotter than usual but nothing serious. + I heard you are working also for a nice booting experience for nvidia driver users ;D | 15:27 |
| pitti | james_w: ok to flush your redntoebook sync? | 15:27 |
| pitti | james_w: (I have another sync I need to do) | 15:27 |
| shtylman | Riddell: I think he has reviewed them... just not merged yet? <-- ev | 15:27 |
| tseliot | sebner: yes, I'm working on it. It should be 16 colours though | 15:27 |
| james_w | pitti: I was in the middle of a mass-sync but LP is broken | 15:27 |
| james_w | pitti: so, fine | 15:28 |
| sebner | tseliot: wondering what level of "nice" that'll be ^_^ | 15:28 |
| tseliot | sebner: better than ascii | 15:28 |
| tseliot | ;) | 15:28 |
| sebner | tseliot: that certainly nice but we live in 2010 :P | 15:28 |
| tseliot | right and drivers use KMS now... | 15:29 |
| Keybuk | sebner: get a graphics card supported by free software then | 15:29 |
| sebner | tseliot: plymouth and that stuff should have used technologies that also 3D blob drivers can use | 15:30 |
| * sebner is afraid of Keybuk and hides :P | 15:30 | |
| tseliot | sebner: you can always use vesafb or some other module if you want more colours | 15:30 |
| Keybuk | (and don't want suspend/resume :P) | 15:31 |
| Keybuk | tseliot: I wonder why the nvidia blob doesn't provide a framebuffer | 15:31 |
| sebner | it seems either way a lot stuff is b0rken on linux | 15:31 |
| tseliot | Keybuk: who needs suspend/resume anyway :-P ? | 15:32 |
| sebner | tseliot++ | 15:32 |
| * sebner doesn't use it | 15:32 | |
| sebner | also hibernate takes longer than a reboot :P | 15:32 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: the changes appear to have worked! :D | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: cool | 15:34 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | It seemed that $defaultignore { } would ignore lvm settings, but it's the opposite. I had read over preseeding docs a few times, and I guess I never grasped the concept :/ | 15:35 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: thanks for your help. | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: the naming is definitely suboptimal. glad to help | 15:37 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: one question though: My partitions were created strangely. I had specified the max for swap to be 300% (Of total RAM, if I read the docs correctly), but the swap partition was created as 122 gigs. | 15:38 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: while the /home directory was created with 10 gigs. | 15:38 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | how did swap exceed the RAM count by almost 110 gigs? :) | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | that's almost certainly a bug, but you might try making the swap partition not the last one in the recipe | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | oh, or alternatively | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | set bigger weights (second field) for the partitions you want to grow more | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | you probably want /home's priority/weight to be rather closer to the maximum size than the minimum size | 15:40 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: Yeah, I just hard-coded the swap partition's max, and added another 0 to /home | 15:41 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | which would put it around 100 gigs :) | 15:41 |
| * _UsUrPeR_ looks for a preseed project on launchpad | 15:42 | |
| cjwatson | the maximum isn't so important in this case (you already have it set to a terabyte). worry about the priority | 15:42 |
| cjwatson | you don't want the preseed project on launchpad | 15:42 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | ok | 15:42 |
| cjwatson | if you're looking to file a bug report, it would go on the partman-auto package in Ubuntu | 15:42 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: ahh. ok, cool. thanks for the pointer | 15:42 |
| chrisccoulson | hi doko, i'm trying to investigate an openjdk-6 build failure as part of the xulrunner-1.9.2 migration, and wondered if you had any pointers to what might be going wrong? | 15:48 |

| chrisccoulson | and i can also recreate the issue with the current version in the archive with the current xulrunner version too | 15:49 |
| doko | chrisccoulson: ENOCLUE. are there other packages in the ppa? : Unknown command line argument '-mcpu=k8-sse3'. Try: ' -help' | 15:53 |

| pitti | mvo: I'll change g-p-extras to drop python-gtkhtml2 then | 16:27 |
| pitti | ah, oops | 16:27 |
| pitti | a handful of universe packages needs it as well | 16:27 |
| pitti | hmm | 16:27 |
| pitti | but nothing too interesting | 16:27 |
| pitti | mvo: gnome-app-install is the only interesting universe package which still uses it | 16:27 |
| pitti | mvo: but in the light of software-center (which is like its successor), shoudl we even keep that one? | 16:28 |
| mvo | pitti: I can port that too | 16:28 |
| juliank | pitti, mvo: How about dropping gnome-app-install; I've already done it in Debian. | 16:28 |
| pitti | if we can just remove it, that would be even easier | 16:28 |
| pitti | juliank: my thought | 16:28 |
| mvo | yeah, the only reason to keep it is that the a11y is better than in software-center | 16:28 |
| pitti | s-c FTW :) | 16:28 |
| mvo | but its now pretty much unmaintained :) | 16:29 |
| pitti | right | 16:29 |

| mvo | heh :) | 16:29 |
| * pitti removes | 16:29 | |
| juliank | mvo: pochu said for the Debian package we should be thinking about a transitional package (aka http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572941); maybe the same for the Ubuntu one? | 16:30 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 572941 in software-center "software-center: Please build a gnome-app-install transitional package" [Normal,Open] | 16:30 |
| pitti | yes, that'd make sense | 16:30 |
| * mvo nods | 16:30 | |
| juliank | mvo: When you add one, could you add a 'Closes: #572941' for the Debian bug, to make this close automatically when I backmerge it into Debian. | 16:31 |
| mvo | juliank: sure | 16:32 |
| mvo | juliank: commited as r637 | 16:39 |
| mvo | juliank: it uses "section: transitional" so that apt does not mark s-c as auto-installed | 16:41 |
| === beuno is now known as beuno-lunch | ||
| pitti | mvo: oh, that exists now? I still use "oldlibs" for those | 16:47 |
| mvo | pitti: well, not officially… | 16:48 |
| pitti | mvo: does it check for oldlibs as well? | 16:49 |
| mvo | pitti: but I think it really should be there so that the automatic install magic can be prevented, otherwise gnome-app-install -> software-center will mark software-center as auto installed | 16:49 |
| mvo | pitti: hm, good point about oldlibs | 16:51 |
| mvo | pitti: it seems like nowdays its pretty much only used for transtional package, I guess I should use that instead | 16:52 |
| mvo | pitti: what do you think? | 16:52 |

| cjwatson | except I can't see where that rm is being called, maybe internal to make? | 17:48 |
| cjwatson | or parallelisation or something? | 17:50 |

| geser | cjwatson: I assume too that it's because of parallel building as the log contains "*** DEBIAN *** CONFIGURING VARIANT vim-tiny" directly followed by "*** DEBIAN *** CONFIGURING VARIANT vim-gtk" | 18:18 |
| ccheney | mterry: or something to that effect | 18:18 |
| mterry | ccheney, ah, cool. Thanks! | 18:18 |
| geser | cjwatson: I could reproduce the problem with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=2" inside my pbuilder | 18:34 |
| lamalex | Hey sponsors, can someone (when they get a moment) take a look at https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~alexlauni/ubuntu/lucid/gnome-power-manager/gpm-fix-530751/+merge/20920 ? fixes another g-p-m papercut | 18:46 |
| chrisccoulson | lamalex, the gpm fix should wait really, as I'll have some other fixes to upload this week | 18:47 |
| shtylman | is the latest kernel (16) giving anyone problems with the nvidia-current drivers? | 18:48 |
| lamalex | chrisccoulson, right on | 18:48 |
| chrisccoulson | lamalex, and we're in to UI freeze now, we really should stop making string changes | 18:48 |
| chrisccoulson | they break translations | 18:49 |
| chrisccoulson | so the translation team needs to be notified really | 18:49 |
| Riddell | mvo: I just added this to packagekit http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/fix_upgrade_distro.diff and put update-manager-kde back into main with kpackagekit depending on it | 18:49 |
| Riddell | just FYI | 18:49 |
| lamalex | we're not far into UI freeze.. so merge soon! it seems odd that we'd break our own notify-osd spec | 18:49 |
| chrisccoulson | lamalex, being "not far in to UI freeze" isn't a good excuse for breaking it | 18:51 |
| chrisccoulson | if it was ok, then we'd shift UI freeze back a few days | 18:51 |

| mvo | Riddell: nice, thanks | 19:23 |
| cjwatson | geser: so we should just disable parallel building? | 19:26 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: try putting anna/choose_modules=ltsp-client-builder on the kernel command line | 19:27 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: rgr. Uno momento | 19:27 |
| sebner | sebner: " - Put tabs at the top again" *WUHUHUHUUUUUUHUHH* | 19:27 |
| sebner | urgh. /me seems to be egocentric xD | 19:28 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjohnston: command not found. | 19:28 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | fuuu | 19:28 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: ^^^ | 19:29 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | mr. johnston: again, I apologize | 19:29 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: hmm. I know that the LTSP build in 9.10 alternate works when run from a normal CD. | 19:29 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: Where is that command stored? :/ | 19:29 |
| geser | cjwatson: unless you know how to debug this (I don't), commenting out line 32 in debian/rules seems to be sufficient to disable the parallel build and make the package build | 19:30 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: um, what command | 19:30 |
| cjwatson | ? | 19:30 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | d'oh type. Let me try that again | 19:31 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: what I mean is to append that string as a kernel parameter | 19:31 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: ahh. Will do. | 19:31 |
| geser | cjwatson: and I couldn't find yet the change between the recent rebuild upload and the merge which explains the problem as the previous version supported parallel building too | 19:31 |
| * _UsUrPeR_ makes the seed changes | 19:31 | |
| cjwatson | geser: right, I can't see anything relevant either. can you give me a branch? | 19:32 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: so that will replace the following command already in the preseed: "d-i anna/choose_modules string ltsp-client-builder" | 19:33 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | is that correct? | 19:33 |
| cjwatson | it should not go in the preseed file | 19:33 |
| shtylman | bug #534469 is hot :) | 19:33 |
| cjwatson | it's a kernel parameter | 19:33 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | cjwatson: oh. My apologies. How/where should I input that change? I am not sure where I would add that. | 19:34 |
| Chipzz | grub | 19:35 |
| Chipzz | pxelinux | 19:35 |
| Chipzz | isolinux | 19:35 |
| Chipzz | pick one :P | 19:35 |
| * _UsUrPeR_ points ant himself and mouths "me?" | 19:37 | |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: usually goes in pxelinux.cfg, on the append line | 19:37 |
| cjwatson | you should have something like url=http://url/of/your/preseed/file there already | 19:37 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | ahh! Ok, I gotcha. That would be in /syslinux/text.cfg on the edited menu system I set up to run the preseed, then. | 19:39 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | ok, so here's what I have for the menu.txt right now: http://pastebin.com/QK0AtRF7 | 19:40 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | this is run upon boot | 19:40 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I just added that parameter to the end | 19:41 |

| ScottK | mvo: I don't suppose you'll have any time to squeeze the backports not-automatic fixes .... | 20:00 |
| cjwatson | _UsUrPeR_: looks fine. you can shorten debian-installer/locale= to locale= if you like | 20:02 |

| rurti | is anyone here available to help me with a problem, i have already been on the #ubuntu, #ubuntu-desktop and #channels and then was finally directed here | 23:23 |
| rurti | what i am trying to do is to add my own dir to the PATH variable, i put it in the .profile file however applications like gedit do not see the bin when execute the make within it. | 23:26 |
| kirkland | jcastro: yo | 23:27 |
| kirkland | jcastro: tell me about your experience with Bug 530289 | 23:27 |

| jcastro | kirkland: sure, so I did a reinstall on this machine | 23:27 |
| jcastro | and then wanted to test something | 23:27 |
| jcastro | kirkland: after it installed I tried to fire it up, but it told me kvm was busted, so I modprobed like it said | 23:28 |
| jcastro | but I didn't do "kvm_intel" just "kvm" | 23:28 |
| rurti | is there anyone here that can help me with this problem/ | 23:29 |
| rurti | ? | 23:29 |
| jcastro | kirkland: I think for me it was just user error | 23:30 |
| jcastro | kirkland: I assumed modprobing kvm would take care of the right bits | 23:30 |
| kirkland | jcastro: gotcha; okay, i'm going to fix this in kvm-ok with better instructions | 23:31 |
| kirkland | jcastro: thanks! | 23:31 |
| kirkland | jcastro: sorry about that | 23:31 |
| jcastro | kirkland: no worries, I was using it to test for something else so glad I found it! | 23:31 |
| rurti | jcastro may i bother you for a moment please? | 23:32 |
| jcastro | rurti: you're probably better off on a mailing list | 23:33 |
| * jcastro can't remember the last time he messed with PATH | 23:33 | |
| rurti | jcastro: what mailing list should post this on? | 23:34 |
| jcastro | rurti: ubuntu-users most likely | 23:34 |
| jcastro | http://lists.ubuntu.com | 23:35 |
| rurti | jcasstro: thank your very much for your advice. | 23:35 |
| jcastro | good luck! | 23:35 |
| kirkland | rurti: have you logged out and back in? | 23:35 |
| Riddell | ev: not merging roman's ubiquity branch? | 23:36 |
| rurti | kirkland: yes i have, it shows up in the terminal fine, however when apps like gnome execute it i know see the parameters et by ENV_PATH in /etc/login.defs | 23:37 |
| kirkland | rurti: you're going to need to ask one of the desktop guys about that ... pitti, seb128: how does a user affect their $PATH env within Gnome? | 23:38 |
| seb128 | kirkland, I don't know | 23:39 |
| seb128 | I told him to ask there that might somebody would know | 23:39 |
| kirkland | seb128: there = here? | 23:39 |
| seb128 | I would have changed it in profile or gnomerc | 23:39 |
| seb128 | but apparently that doesn't work | 23:39 |
| rurti | kirkland: i was just talking with seb128 he told me to come here | 23:39 |
| seb128 | kirkland, he asked in #ubuntu-desktop first and I bounced him to #ubuntu-devel | 23:39 |
| kirkland | seb128: okay, hrm, interesting | 23:40 |
| seb128 | not sure why changing .profile doesn't work | 23:40 |
| kirkland | rurti: ls -alF /etc/profile.d | 23:40 |
| rurti | yes it is an interesting problem in deed | 23:40 |
| persia | Does ${foo}-session source .profile? I thought such variables had to be set in the Xsession files or ${foo}-session specific files. | 23:40 |
| chrisccoulson | for changing $PATH, i normally define it in /etc/environment | 23:41 |
| rurti | kirkland: trying it one second | 23:41 |
| persia | chrisccoulson: That's a big hammer. | 23:41 |
| rurti | Kirkland: there is nothing in there | 23:42 |
| seb128 | rurti, changing /etc/environment should work | 23:42 |
| kirkland | persia: agreed, and requires admin privilege | 23:42 |
| rurti | seb128: that will change it for all accounts though wont it? | 23:43 |
| seb128 | rurti, yes | 23:43 |
| rurti | seb128: i guess we cannot change it just for one profile? | 23:43 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm not sure of any other way of doing it, which is picked up in the enviorment of the various session components | 23:44 |
| persia | kirkland: For ~/.Xsession ? | 23:44 |
| kirkland | hrm, you know, i've gotten a strange byobu bug report recently, about .profile settings not being respected .... | 23:44 |
| kirkland | persia: i was supporting your "big hammer" comment | 23:44 |
| persia | Oh yeah. | 23:45 |
| seb128 | kirkland, he's using hardy not lucid and other env variable are set correctly it's only a path issue | 23:45 |
| kirkland | seb128: ah, okay | 23:45 |
| seb128 | rurti, change the launcher to the application you want to start this way by a wrapper? | 23:45 |
| seb128 | rurti, ie a small script setting path and running the binary | 23:45 |
| chrisccoulson | which application has the wrong $PATH? | 23:46 |
| chrisccoulson | and how is it launched? | 23:46 |
| rurti | seb128: I am thinking that may have to be the route i go. | 23:46 |
| rurti | seb128: i could change the commands to go "setToolEnv; make all" | 23:47 |
| rurti | just some people use different tools | 23:47 |
| rurti | i was hoping that the path could make it happen for all apps | 23:48 |
| rurti | sorry .profile not path | 23:48 |
| cjwatson | I believe you can edit .pam_environment and that'll apply to all PAM sessions | 23:50 |
| cjwatson | same format as /etc/environment | 23:50 |
| cjwatson | note that it is not a shell script, it's just KEY=VALUE, so don't expect e.g. shell variable expansions to work | 23:51 |
| cjwatson | though I think you can substitute environment variables with ${var}, according to /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/sag-pam_env.html | 23:51 |
| cjwatson | ... actually skip that last part, misreading | 23:51 |
| rurti | ok | 23:52 |
| rurti | one quick question, is /etc/environment a regular script file? | 23:52 |
| psusi | TheMuso, ping | 23:53 |
| TheMuso | psusi: Just ask your question/make your statement, and I'll respond when I get to it, but yes, I am around now. Whats up? | 23:54 |
| psusi | TheMuso, cool... long time no see... been tracking down a dmraid bug in Karmic and I finally found the problem and was wondering if I could get your opinion on what the solution should be | 23:54 |
| psusi | it seems dmraid is causing a udev event feedback loop in Karmic... my first thought was to change the udev rule to only activate on add events, not change events as well | 23:55 |
| psusi | but I'm not sure if that could have other consequences | 23:55 |
| TheMuso | psusi: Hrm. I guess the whole change events would only be an issue for externally connected disks. Have you checked to see whether anyone using Debian are also experiencing this bug? | 23:58 |
