quidnuncCompile fails for me on x8600:00
cjwatsonyes, I think that build failures had something to do with it00:01
cjwatsonwe recently removed a bunch of stuff that didn't build00:01
cjwatsonif somebody fixes the build failure, it can be put back00:01

svuKeybuk: should the bug status be changed from Incomplete to something different?00:25
Keybuksvu: unknown00:25
svuperhaps00:25
svu"Incomplete" means I have to provide something - but I answered all questions for a moment00:26
Keybukwell, I'd disagree there ;-)00:31
Keybuk"Incomplete" to me always means that the bug lacks sufficient information to diagnose it00:31
Keybukbut then others would argue that "Confirmed" means that00:31
Keybuketc.00:31
svuI see your point00:35
svuthere are different substates00:35
svu"need info" = "I asked you, waiting for info"00:35
svuand "need info" = "we do not have enough info and we do not know what info we need" ;)00:35
slangasekbdrung: why does that need an FFe to fix?00:36
bdrungslangasek: asak thinks that this is a huge (in terms of regression potential) change and that the bug is fix is a "new feature"00:38

slangasekbryceh: why does xserver-xorg-video-displaylink have Breaks: xf86-video-displaylink ?01:23
slangasek(lintian flags a warning for this)01:23
brycehslangasek, to get it to not install alongside that package but to replace it01:26
slangasekbryceh: if you want to force the removal of the other package, that should be Conflicts:01:28
slangasekBreaks: only forces deconfiguring, I'm not sure it's defined to remove the package01:28
RAOFSo, last time I tried this, lifeless came in and said that Breaks in the One True Way and pointed at policy.01:29
brycehslangasek, in my original packaging I had Conflicts and no Breaks01:29
robertzaccourRAOF, hey man01:30
robertzaccourRAOF, bug free system from what i can tell now :)01:30
slangasekRAOF: I'm pretty sure policy doesn't say anything about using Breaks: to force packages off the system01:30
brycehslangasek, so I think the Breaks may be something Persia added01:31
slangasekhmm01:31
slangasekpersia: ^^ huh? :)01:31
RAOFThat's what I thought, too, and my reading of policy didn't make it clear either.  My hope was that lifeless would pop up, carry on a detailed discussion with you, and I'd become wiser by osmosis :)01:32
robertzaccourRAOF, i see the duplicate bug noticication. is it the same graphics card as the leveno?01:32
robertzaccourhopefully the fix is included in the updates so the others can get it gone as well :)01:32
slangasekRAOF: in fact, reading policy pretty much confirms what I'm saying.  If you want to declare that a package should be removed, use Conflicts.  If you want to enforce upgrade order, use (versioned) Breaks.01:33
robertzaccouri want pidgin to be default over empathy :)01:33
robertzaccourmaybe that will happen, this late doubt it though01:33
slangasekit certainly won't01:34
robertzaccourso whats the reason for empathy? just curious. it doesn't have all the features pidgin does01:34
RAOFAnd similarly, pidgeon doesn't have all the features empathy does.01:34
robertzaccourbut one does have more than the other01:35
ion[citation needed]01:35
robertzaccourhuh?01:36
robertzaccouri think skype would be a good default also01:36
ionYeah, someone really should release a free implementation.01:37
RAOFYou mean, like Empathy? :)01:37
robertzaccourso why is empathy the default?01:38
directhexpidgin's crap for a/v. empathy does webcam chats01:38
robertzaccourdirecthex, for yahoo?01:38
jdongand it also has outstanding open denial-of-service attacks over MSN!01:38
jdong*cough*01:39
jdongoh yeah a couple poor souls are try: except: pass'ing the entire codebase :)01:39
directhexrobertzaccour, no. "Voice and video call using SIP, XMPP, Google Talk and MSN."01:39
robertzaccouris yahoo in the works?01:40
RAOFDoesn't yahoo use XMPP now?01:40
micahgdirecthex: pidgin's web support seems decent now for xmpp01:40
robertzaccouri dunno, don't think so01:40
micahg*webcam01:40
directhexmicahg, can't say i've tried recently01:40
RAOFHow easy is it to share your desktop with pidgin?01:40
directhexmicahg, i think i prefer pidgin by and large, but not enough to change to it01:40
RAOF(Also, how easy is it to share your Banshee library with pidgin? :))01:41
micahgRAOF: I didn't know that's possible with any client?01:41
micahgdirecthex: I never switched away from it :)01:41
directhexmicahg, the banshee bit definitely works... i think it was last year's gsoc?01:41
RAOFmicahg: I'd suggest firing up empathy and hitting the “share my desktop with this contact” button, then :)01:41
robertzaccouri don't share my desktop with anyone01:41
robertzaccouri can see that its useful for some though01:42
MattJ"It's all MINE!"01:42
micahgRAOF: is it the whoole desktop or just parts?01:42
ionI shared my desktop with a contact and he totally my entire desktop.01:42
MattJI think Pidgin is doing better nowadays in terms of maturity, but I think having Empathy as the new default will give it a chance to mature a bit too01:42
directhexi heard pidgin was having cathedral issues01:43
robertzaccourpidgin and empathy devs seem to not be very concerned about yahoo implementations01:43
MattJI still find it awkward to use full-time (well, I find the same of Pidgin, so...)01:43
robertzaccourwhats cathedral issues?01:43
MattJrobertzaccour: Good :)01:43
robertzaccourMattJ, good? how so?01:43
RAOFAnd the telepathy framework that Empathy's built on is just much more interesting - see “Stream my banshee library to contacts”, desktop sharing, gnome-games multiplayer, etc.01:43
directhexrobertzaccour, read "the cathedral and the bazaar"01:43
MattJrobertzaccour: Never mind, OT for this channel I think :)01:43
directhexRAOF, gbrainy deathmatch!01:44
RAOF:)01:44
RAOFdirecthex: I challenge you to a Quadrapassel dual!01:44
directhexRAOF, did you see what i was working on today?01:44
robertzaccourso there's no plans for upgrading the yahoo protocol for video/voice chat?01:45
RAOFNo.  I see, however, that miguel is getting psyched about mono 2.8, filled to the brim with DLR and awesome01:45
directhexRAOF, http://i.imgur.com/auhrX.png -> http://i.imgur.com/9j9ah.png01:45
ajmitchRAOF: so there'll be interesting mono crack in 10.10?01:45

robertzaccourdirecthex, doesn't that mean importance for devs?01:58
directhexrobertzaccour, to indonesian, indian, and saudi devs, yes01:58
robertzaccourmost Ubuntu users are Americans, right?01:59
directhexnot really.02:00
robertzaccourskype is my favorite overall, don't know a lot of peopole that use it though02:00
directhexskype is proprietary, and will never be included in an ubuntu install02:00
MattJFor my part as a developer I wouldn't contribute to Yahoo protocol support because I don't agree that we need to encourage the use of proprietary protocols in open-source02:00
* RAOF was *sure* Yahoo was transitioning to XMPP02:01
directhexpeople work on protocol support for things to scratch their own itches. if i need to talk to someone using QQ< i work on QQ support - and because protocol distribution is highly regional, i'm probably in China whilst doing it.02:01
robertzaccourimo skype has the best quality audio and video and theme look, and its free in price, so its good to me02:01
directhexrobertzaccour, you are free to use skype, but it conflicts with the ubuntu philosophy and isn't acceptable in the distro02:02
MattJrobertzaccour: Either way I'd rather work on helping get open software and protocols up to that level of quality :)02:02
RAOFrobertzaccour: With the *tiny* problem that we can't legally include it in Ubuntu, and wouldn't include it by default because it's closed source (and not needed to make computers work).02:03
MattJand am doing just that, in fact02:03
robertzaccouri use what works best for me whether it be the OS or the software thats installed. Open source is great, however usability for me ranks a little higher. having both would be great though02:04
directhexMattJ, it's not really a question of that though - the thing with IM protocols is you need to use what $FRIEND uses, or you can't talk to them. if you're chinese, you use QQ. if you're Turkish, you use MSN. if you're russian, you use ICQ. like identi.ca vs twitter, the value is in the network itself, not in what the network allows02:04
robertzaccouroh i think twitter is lame. thats just my opinion though02:05
MattJdirecthex: As someone who dropped a contact list of ICQ contacts telling them that if they wanted to contact me they would find me on Jabber, I know that's not strictly always the case :)02:05
directhexhow many of them followed?02:06
MattJA handful out of a hundred, the rest didn't want to speak to me that desperately it turns out :)02:06
MattJI just realised it was hypocritical to promote free software while using proprietary networks and protocols02:06
MattJWhere "using" is as good as "supporting"02:07
MattJBecause while people use them, the less likely other people are to switch02:07
MattJSo I like to think I've done my part :)02:07
robertzaccourMattJ, i'm not against open source, quite the contrary actually. its just that usability for me is priority, thats why i use skype02:08
slangasekwell, as that's not the order of priorities for Ubuntu, I think this conversation is quite off-topic02:09
robertzaccourits a good thing we're not restricted on what we can install thats for sure02:09
robertzaccouri think skype is the only application i use thats not open source02:10

svu_seb128, hi. i found the solution. for some reason vg gets disabled on every boot. has to enable it manually every time08:48
seb128hey svu_, oh, nice that you managed to find the issue08:48
svu_thanks for the help and hints yesterday! hopefully my info will help to fix the bug (already updated). perhaps mountall needs tweaking after all08:50
seb128you're welcome, right, let's see08:52
* hyperair finds it mildly annoying that every time he digs out wine for a short game, there are performance regressions so bad that i end up grabbing wine's source and hacking through it to look for what's gone wrong (again).08:55
james_wlifeless: am now08:56
lifelessnvm, dholbach showed up first ;P08:57
lifelessbut thanks08:57
lifelesshyperair: you are playing the 'wining game'08:57
hyperairlifeless: lolwut?08:57
lifelessterrible joke :)08:57
hyperair..i guess.08:57
hyperairthe last time i had wine issues, it was crashing because it was looking for i915_dri.so in the wrong place, then using swrast or something and segfaulting.08:58
hyperairthe bug is *almost* fixed.08:58
hyperairand then this time i have stupid performance regressions due to somebody trampling all over intel support to refactor ati support.08:59
hyperairbest part is it's *always* wined3d.08:59
* hyperair adds writing a cowbuilder that can have multiple backends to todo list.09:20

fokacjwatson, a possible fix is to edit grub2-1.98/util/grub.d/10_linux.in and change @LOCALEDIR@ to @localedir@, and that seems to do the trick, with the result being  export TEXTDOMAINDIR=${prefix}/share/locale12:06

persiampt: The latter, I was thinking.  Lobbies belong in buildings, not software :)16:50
mptpersia, yeah, the overall metaphor here is a department store, though we've not needed to express it much so far16:51
persiaI hope that the concept can translate with poor expression in the future as well, as that allows other metaphors to share :)16:52
james_wdoko: didn't you fix that in the next version?16:53
dokojames_w: ohh, that was a late ubuntu1 build ...16:54
mptpersia, no idea what you mean there16:54
persiampt: That I think physical metaphors (desktop, department store) are a good way to think about how to structure things, because we have a lot more experience with those interfaces, but that I believe it's to our advantage to avoid expressing our internal metaphors to users to encourage the development of new or alternate metaphors that can leverage the flexibility of software to improve on the real experience rather than on the attachment to the16:56
persia metaphor.16:56
persiaAnd in many cases, it may even be to our advantage to avoid clearly expressing these metaphors to each other, for the same reasons.16:56
mptpersia, it's quite the reverse here -- if/when we express it, it will be a user-level metaphor, not a development-level one16:58
JanCactually, some of those metaphors are difficult to translate too16:58

persiampt: You've just expressed it.  That said, why would you want to tell people "It's like an elephant" when it's not clearly ("elephant" picked here to avoid specifics).  The base model may be similar enough to be mistaken for "intuitive", but I'm not sure how it helps to point out the ways in which a translated interface doesn't match the model.16:59

primes2hKeybuk: Hello, I saw that yesterday evening you talked with slangasek about plymouth 0.8.2 in bzr. Is there any chance to patch it with this bug #553954? :-) It's quite an annoying bug because the string is very visible (and quite big). tseliot has been working very hard to provide those patches in a short time.17:29
ubottuLaunchpad bug 553954 in plymouth "[Lucid Beta 1] plymouth has a non translatable string coming up on screen" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55395417:29
KeybukI'm not happy with tseliot's approach17:29
Keybukso not happy to apply his patch17:30
Keybukespecially this late in our release cycle17:30
primes2hKeybuk: What do you mean?17:30
KeybukI mean exactly what I said17:30
primes2hare you talking about the string he put in mountall?17:31
Keybukno, I'm talking about the entire approach of cutting a string up, putting part of it in one place, part of it in the other, etc.17:31
Keybukbecause there's no way any kittens could be harmed that way17:33
Keybukoh no17:33
primes2hKeybuk: ok, I could agree with you about this, but I don't think those patches can getting it worse as it is already17:33
Keybukright now, the "bad" is just that there's a single string that's not translated17:34
Keybukthe worse could be that code segfaults during filesystem checks every time17:34
KeybukI think I know which I prefer17:34
primes2ha very visible and quite big string.17:34
KeybukI'd only agree with your position if there weren't other untranslated strings all over the place ;-)17:35
Keybukif it were the *only* untranslated string, sure17:35
Keybukand if it contained more information than "1 of 2: 54%"17:35

Keybukno17:37
KeybukI'm asking the following question17:37
Keybukis it a "CRITICAL" bug that there is a single string that is not translatable?17:37
Keybukshould we hold up the release for that to be fixed?17:38
Keybukand I'm saying "no"17:38
mandelping jono17:38
Keybukit can't possibly be a critical bug, because there are hundreds (if not thousands) of strings not translated17:38
Keybukit can't possible be a critical bug because the key information in the string is numerical anyway17:38
Keybukso it's pretty obvious that "blah blah 1 blah 4 blah 54%"17:38
Keybukwhich changes to "blah blah 2 blah 4 blah 23%"17:39
Keybukmeans it's a progress17:39
Keybukand the patch is not clean, and not simple17:39
Keybuk(and I'm sure this IRC conversation will end up on Reddit and HackerNews :p)17:40
joaopintolol17:43
primes2hKeybuk: I agree with you about the fact it's not critical but the message it brings is quite important. I asked you about including the patch because I thought it were not so invasive. You told me it could bring segfault bug so I understand.17:44
Keybuk:-)17:44
Keybukyeah, if it were just "stick _( ... ) around the string" I'd go for it like a shot17:44
joaopintois the bug about the recovery / attempting to fix filesystem messages on boot loop reported ?17:45
Keybukjoaopinto: unsure17:45
joaopintoKeybuk, it was on my working laptop so I couldn't halt to gather data, but all saw someone else reporting the same experience on a blog entry17:46
primes2hKeybuk: so how do you think it can be correctly addressed?17:46
joaopintoI had a / corruption, and the messages where looping so fast that I couldn't read17:46
Keybukyou can probably replicate it by fucking with the real time clock ;)17:46
Keybukprimes2h: no idea, haven't thought about it yet17:47
Keybukprimes2h: I think we probably need to extend Plymouth to support "actions" rather than abusing usage17:47
Keybukso things can say "doing blah, X% complete" properly17:47
primes2hKeybuk: The main problem for me is that the string hadn't to be there from the beginning.17:48
primes2hin plymouth, I mean.17:49
Keybuk"hadn't" ?17:50
Keybukwell, I was quite surprised that turned into a string at all17:50
Keybukearlier in lucid they were really nice, cute progress bars17:50
KeybukI liked that17:50
Keybukno idea why Design wanted it to be a string17:50
primes2hI mean it shouldn't have been there17:51
Keybukwell, where else does the string go?17:51
primes2hKeybuk: A progress bar would be  better for sure.17:52
Keybukthey were progress bars17:53
Keybukyou'll have to talk to tseliot to find out why they're not anymore17:53
primes2hKeybuk: I know they were, I just don't understand why putting a string so visible without thinking about localization17:54
primes2hit's the only string in plymout not translatable, other are taken from mountall17:55
primes2hs/other/others17:55
primes2hfrom fsck too I think17:56
Keybukprimes2h: right, but mountall doesn't know that a check is "4 of 5"17:57

Keybukogra_cmpc: that's unrelated to the bug you are reporting to me18:07
ogra_cmpcno, thats the core issue18:08

Keybuk;-)18:08
ogra_cmpcfsck kicks off because last mount is in the future18:08
Keybukyes18:08
Keybukthat's a filesystem inconsistency18:08
ogra_cmpcwell, i dont want iusers to end up on the fsck console every boot :)18:09
KeybukI don't want users to have a potentially serious problem hidden from them18:09
ogra_cmpcbut the clock will be at some certain date 2000 on every boot until we have network (if we even ever have that)18:10

ogra_cmpcKeybuk, so would something like a -dveloper-board switch/bootoption/whatever be possible that makes fsck ignore the clock skew ?18:22
ogra_cmpcthe current solution people use is to to turn the pass sequence number in fstab and /lib/init/fstab to 0 ... thats surely worse than ignoring a wrong clock18:22

Keybukslangasek: hey, I think I just missed you saying something really important20:30

slangasekheh20:31
slangasekKeybuk: hey, interesting follow-up in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/554737/comments/30 - does mountall not make sure it's sent all its writes to plymouth before emitting the 'filesystem' signal?20:31
Keybukso I'm nicely full of steamed pork buns now20:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 554737 in plymouth "ply_boot_client_flush() does not read replies (plymouth stuck during/after filesystem check or error)" [High,Fix committed]20:31
slangasekKeybuk: since emitting 'filesystem' will kill plymouthd, with perhaps random strings left on the screen :)20:31
Keybukwhy would it flush writes before emitting a filesystem?20:31
Keybukoh, interesting20:31
dupondjehehe :) I had that bug today20:31
Keybukno, it doesn't do that20:32
dupondjefsck stuck @ 78%20:32
Keybukit should probably flush before any event though20:32
Keybukdupondje: did it continue to boot or was it properly stuck?20:32
Keybukon the basis we shouldn't "hard code" knowledge in mountall that filesystem is the one that might kill plymouth20:32
slangasekfair20:32
dupondjeIt stayed @ 78% for like 5 minutes20:32
dupondjethen I gave up and rebooted :)20:33

Keybukslangasek: on the bpp thing, I hit a slight snag ;-)20:35
slangasekah?20:35
Keybukthe vga16fb renderer has code to attempt to reduce the number of colours to fit in the palette20:36
Keybukif you're using 16-color images, you don't want that code20:36
Keybukso need not only a "Get the BPP" function20:37
Keybukbut a "Set that I'm going to write Indexed images, so don't reduce the bit depth" flag20:37
slangasekdupondje: in a PPA, details in bug #554737; don't use it if you're using nouveau kms20:38

slangasekKeybuk: because the code will screw up the palette of the already-indexed image?20:38
Keybukslangasek: yup20:38
slangasekwell, fun20:38
Keybukthe other theory is to have the vga16fb renderer "check the pixel buffer"20:39
Keybukif the buffer has no more than 16-colors anyway, don't use that code20:39
Keybukam experimenting with both20:39
KeybukI think the latter might actually work better20:39
slangasekKeybuk: how soon do you think you'll have that sorted?  As long as we're having to change all the theme packages for this, I think we should give the i18n patch a go at the same time20:39
Keybukthough I'm being distracted by someone explaining to Till that HAL has actually been removed from both Ubuntu and Fedora20:40

seb128Keybuk, svu: the lvm2 source didn't change for 8 weeks and the bug started recently so it's likely due to some other change20:41
Keybukseb128: nothing to do with me20:41
KeybukI don't do lvm20:41
seb128Keybuk, I'm just saying it changed while lvm didn't change so it's doesn't seem a lvm bug, or lvm was relying on something which changed20:42
seb128Keybuk, I've no clue what it could be though, could be linux20:43
Keybukright, most likely the kernel side of lvm20:45
slangasekseb128: what's the bug?20:45
Keybukalmost half of lvm/devmapper is in the kernel after all20:45
Keybukslangasek: lvm is apparently not activating vgs/lvs for svu20:45

seb128slangasek, he's on ppc if that makes any different and that started happening like a week ago I think according to what he said20:46

ccheneydo i need to a -sa build any time any source changes?21:20
ccheneyit seems it must not be smart enough to include just the changed parts (of course i don't know how it would be smart enough anyway)21:20
slangasekif it's an upstream source, yes21:20
zygaslangasek: I have ppc daily cd, will test now21:20
ccheneyslangasek: ah ok21:20
bdrung_cbaseccheney: yes, if you want the source included21:20
ccheneyi don't need all the sources but the changed ones, i guess that still implies -sa since it would be hard for dpkg to figure out what changed21:21
bdrung_cbaseccheney: it will only add it automatically if it's the first upload of the package21:21
ccheneyok21:21
ccheneythat won't get the package rejected overall if one of the sources is still the same as the first upstream upload will it?21:23

ScottKccheney: OK.  I'm sort of on hot standbye to unseed OOo from Kubuntu Netbook if it doesn't end well.21:31
ccheneyScottK: if the -marm isn't applying it appears that dpkg-architecture isn't returning the right name for the arch or something similarly weird21:31

ccheneyits pretty straight forward just:21:33
ccheneyifneq (,$(filter $(ARCH), arm armel)) ARCH_FLAGS += -marm21:33
ccheneyendif21:33
ccheneythere should be a return after the )21:34

slangasek"armel" should be sufficient21:34
ccheneyARCH is set via: ARCH := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)21:34
ccheneyslangasek: i added the arm myself in case of the weirdness :-\21:35

slangasekW3ird_N3rd: oh, if you can actually configure an IP, I guess it's not a kernel ABI problem at this point - I don't know what that problem is, though23:16
slangasekW3ird_N3rd: could be anything from a bad ethernet cable to a buggy or missing firmware in the installer23:17
W3ird_N3rdwell when I try to configure using DHCP it says my network maybe doesn't use DHCP, which is not true23:17

cjwatsonKeybuk: will translation kittens die if I fix a typo in one of mountall's strings?23:22
cjwatson-                                                     _("Press C to to cancel all checks currently in progress")));23:22
cjwatson+                                                     _("Press C to cancel all checks currently in progress")));23:22
Keybukheh, they'll hate you23:22
W3ird_N3rdno, it didn't, it's really loading now23:22
W3ird_N3rdXircom modules broken then?23:23
cjwatsonI didn't see any translations in mountall's source; I guess they're just in language packs?23:23
cjwatsonI'd *actually* like to fix the run-on sentence as well but that seems less justifiable :-)23:23
W3ird_N3rdshould I report that?23:23
cjwatsonslangasek: pretty sure I uploaded d-i earlier for the ABI change23:24
slangasekcjwatson: ok then :)23:24
cjwatsonno idea what's broken for W3ird_N3rd; not aware of having changed anything to do with DHCP23:25
slangasekcjwatson: translations are in langpacks for mountall, yes23:25
W3ird_N3rdcjwatson, DHCP ain't broken, it appears to be the xircom driver23:25
cjwatsonah, well I wouldn't know about that23:26
W3ird_N3rdI'm now installing using an old 3Com card, but the Xircom Realport and Realport2 are silent in every possible language23:26
cjwatsonright, guess I ought to do a big d-i translations sync23:27
svuI wonder .. if I am trying to do /etc/init.d/udev start (in manual repare mode, when only root is mounted), I am getting "basename: not found"23:27
slangaseksvu: udev doesn't use the init script in /etc/init.d, that's just a wrapper for the /etc/init/udev.conf upstart job23:27
cjwatsonit would be good if /lib/init/upstart-job didn't use executables in /usr though23:28
keessvu: instead of running vgchange -a y, try udevadm trigger23:28
cjwatsongiven that it's trivial to avoid - INITSCRIPT="${0##*/}"23:28
svukees, just "udevadm"? no params?23:29
Keybukcjwatson: why?  it's an education wrapper23:29
Keybukif anything *calls* it, that's a bug23:29
cjwatsonI didn't say it was critical, I just said it would be good23:29
W3ird_N3rdafter the install is finished I'll burn the mini.iso one more time and try, if it still doesn't work it must be a bug, should I report it in that case? or is there no need for that23:29
slangaseknot maintainer scripts; but you don't run maintainer scripts in rescue mode either23:29
slangasek(or: it's a bug, but it's not a bug in the maintainer script :)23:30
cjwatsonit would be so easy to avoid depending on /usr there, so it might as well23:30
cjwatsonW3ird_N3rd: I guess if the xircom driver is broken, that should be reported as a kernel bug23:30
W3ird_N3rdI don't know what kernel the netboot disc uses.23:30
W3ird_N3rdanyway that part was working 1 or 2 days ago.23:31
cjwatsonthe standard kernel23:31
W3ird_N3rdso must be a bleedingedge kernel23:31
keesdoes that still not bring them online?23:31
chrisccoulsonseb128 / slangasek - frames 10 and 11 of the main thread in the abiword backtrace are weird23:32
cjwatsonW3ird_N3rd: it's just rebuilt occasionally against whatever's current in lucid23:32
W3ird_N3rdlucid kernel is frozen so that makes this case very mysterious23:33
chrisccoulsonthe GConfClient passed to gconf_client_get_full is pointing to the wrong address23:33
chrisccoulsonas is the key23:33
chrisccoulsonsomeone might want to get a valgrind log there23:33
svukees, what would be the right parameter to pass to kernel - to get rid of plymouth?23:33
slangasekchrisccoulson: good point; could easily be a gdb bug instead, but valgrind is a good next step23:33
directhexi think i know why my syncpackage upload was disappearing23:34
wgrantseb128: Thanks for the swift upload of that papyon fix.23:34
chrisccoulsonin any case, the client and key parameters in frames 10 and 11 should be identical23:34
seb128wgrant, thanks for coming with a patch for the issue ;-)23:34
slangasek** (abiword:16501): WARNING **: Running under buggy valgrind, see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16429823:35

chrisccoulsonslangasek - ok, i'll have to have another think then23:35
zygaslangasek: still installing, ps3 is dog slow for I/O23:36
persialifeless: Latest time?  We varied for a bit, but seem to have standardised at 10:00 UTC.23:38
persialifeless: Mind you, if you're counting in CHADT, that can be quite late indeed.23:38
matumbaKeybuk, i've run the 16-bit plymouth theme and got some initial flicker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aM2lrrjzGc - other than that it seems to work fine23:39
keessvu you can't get rid  of plymouth.  if you want to drop splash, just leave off "splash".  I tend to drop "splash" and "quiet"23:39
svukees, udevadm trigger worked. activated my VG23:42
svuso... what does it prove?23:43
keessvu: that is simultaneously encouraging and disheartening.  :)23:43
svu:)))23:43
slangaseksvu: is /etc/init/udevtrigger.conf present on your system?23:43
* svu feels proud23:43
keesit means that the udev rules are correct in that they bring the vg online.  but, they should be since it works everywhere else.23:43
svuslangasek, yes23:44
slangaseksvu: boot with --verbose, and post your /var/log/boot.log?23:45
svukees, yes, that sounds logical. but ... I see what I see :)23:45
svuslangasek, where should I add --verbose ?23:45
keesslangasek: where does --verbose go?23:45
keesheh23:45
lifelesspersia: I'm considering NZ DST time impacts23:45
slangaseksvu: the kernel commandline23:45
keesnetwork lag ftl23:45
slangasekwhich is the awesomest thing ever23:45
lifelesspersia: which would have it at 11pm23:45
* svu never heard of such kernel option23:45
slangasekit's not a kernel option, it's an upstart option :)23:46
Keybukslangasek: most awesomest thing ever?23:46
lifelesspersia: meh, I can do that every 2nd week for 6 months:- care to nominate me ?23:46
persialifeless: Right.23:46
slangasekKeybuk: yes!23:46
Keybukslangasek: what is?23:46
persialifeless: Sure.  Up for an exchange?23:46
svuslangasek, I'm afraid there won't be much use - because /var/log is on lvm partition23:46
slangasekKeybuk: --verbose as a boot option23:46
lifelesssure23:46
Keybukahh ;)23:46
Keybukwait until you see what I have planned in Maverick23:46
Keybuksvu: that's ok ;)  there are tricks once you've booted23:47
slangaseksvu: that's ok - as long as you don't kill plymouth, once the vg is up the log should get written23:47
ajmitchlifeless: you're going to be back in NZ?23:47
svuhow would I disable that stupid graphical screen? I want to see the console all the way! nosplash does not help23:47
Keybuksvu: remove "splash"23:47
Keybukwhere the hell did somebody document "nosplash"23:47
svuKeybuk, I have "nosplash"23:47
* Keybuk has NEVER heard of that23:47
svuok23:47
Keybuksvu: where did you read to put "nosplash" there?23:48
svuok23:48
svuso, just append="--verbose" ?23:48
Keybukyes23:48
Keybukwell, with root= and all that other useful stuff23:48
svusure23:48
slangasekKeybuk: I have heard of other distros having the inverse default and passing nosplash to disable; so it's probably cross-distro confusion rather than Ubuntu-specific docs23:49
Keybukslangasek: other distros can't include Fedora/RedHat - otherwise this would work <g>23:49
slangasekmaybe it was Mandriva?23:49
KeybukHeh23:49
loolkirkland: I had suggested to try similar cache= settings for the qemu-kvm hang bug, but I don't know whether anybody tried; thanks for writing it in the bug23:49
KeybukI think they use Plymouth too actually23:49
slangasekoh, crap23:49
slangasekfirst google hit for 'nosplash' is ubuntuforums23:49
ccheneyopenjdk takes over 12hr to build on amd64? thats even longer than OOo, heh23:50
Keybukfirst google hit for "beetroot salad" is probably ubuntuforums23:50
Keybukubuntuforums is the first google hit for *anything*23:50
slangasekthe second hit is "no splash, no flush urinals from Kohler"23:50
Keybukit's the ultimate source of people being wrong on the internet23:50
loollol23:50
keesccheney: it's the testsuite timing out, mostly23:50
loolslangasek: You should turn safe search on23:50
W3ird_N3rdthe selected kernel, kernel package linux-generic, could not be installed23:51
slangaseklool: oh man, and miss out on cheap urinal humor?23:51
W3ird_N3rdI consider the netboot ISO untestable23:51
W3ird_N3rdit's just too damn buggy.23:51
loolslangasek: No, I meant to hide the ubuntuforums results23:51
slangaseklool: hah23:51
W3ird_N3rdI guess this means nobody really uses the netboot ISO23:52
W3ird_N3rdpoor me23:52
slangasekW3ird_N3rd: wait, you're using the netboot *ISO*?  No, people generally don't use that23:52
W3ird_N3rdhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso23:52
W3ird_N3rdso what do people use?23:52
cjwatsonKeybuk: nosplash was an installer option for about a day23:52
cjwatsonbefore I saw the light and replaced it with debian-installer/splash=false23:52
cjwatsonhey, I use the netboot ISO sometimes23:52
cjwatsonworks fine for me23:53
cjwatsonbroken for you != untestable in general23:53
lifelessajmitch: yes, end of the month23:53
lifelessajmitch: you should look at facebook more often :P23:53
cjwatsonthe netboot ISO is just a simple repackaging of the separate netboot kernel and initrd files - it's unlikely to suffer from different bugs23:53
W3ird_N3rdcjohnston, linux-generic cannot be installed, how can that be my fault23:53
cjwatson"cjwatson"23:53
W3ird_N3rd*cjwatson23:53
cjwatsonW3ird_N3rd: that's just a transient archive problem, wait a bit23:53
W3ird_N3rdautocomplete..23:53
cjwatsontype more characters first then, and read the output.23:54
cjwatsonnetboot is very susceptible to the state of the archive23:54
cjwatsonthat's not a bug, it's just the way netboot works23:54
W3ird_N3rdI'm usually in channels with less people and your names have a similar length, so easy to get wrong..23:54
cjwatsonmight even be a problem with the mirror you're using being out of date23:55
cjwatsonhttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/lucid_probs.html says that, while a number of things are uninstallable in lucid right now, linux-generic is installable23:56
W3ird_N3rdI like netboot because it's only 12MB, less writing time and some CD-RW's have some flaws, but the first 12MB are usually OK. also it gets me the latest packages right away23:56
cjwatsonbut I'm happy to look at an installer syslog to check23:56
cjwatson"save debug logs" from the main menu to extract it23:56
svuboot.log : http://pastebin.com/0e5rAABM23:56
cjwatsonit gets you the latest bugs right away too ... :-)23:57
cjwatsonnetboot gets a lot more stable once we release23:57
ajmitchlifeless: I should, but it's usually such a waste of time :)23:57
svuamazing. boot.log is using MSDOS EOL convention. hehe23:58
W3ird_N3rdcjwatson, nah, damn, found it. failure resolving nl.archive.ubuntu.com. sigh23:58
Keybuksvu: it's using terminal convention23:58
Keybukit's the log of writes to a pty23:58
svuok23:59
svubut I do not see much interesting there23:59
cjwatsonW3ird_N3rd: that would do it, although it's odd it didn't fail before that23:59
Sarvatthmm, anyone familiar with why dbg packages in the archive for mesa and xserver are messed up while PPA ones are fine? the CRC's in .gnu_debuglink are wrong with the archive versions23:59
