KIAazehow can I build 32-bit packages on 64-bit?00:40
KIAaze(without using launchpad)00:40
RAOFKIAaze: pbuilder-dist from ubuntu-dev-tools is a quick and easy way; call it as “pbuilder-dist lucid i386 $OPERATION” and you'll get an i386 lucid chroot.  Symlink pbuilder-lucid-i386 to pbuilder-dist for added ease.00:47
KIAazethanks :)00:50
KIAazethe distro specification is even better :)00:51
KIAazewell, just as useful at least00:51
NafaiI need to learn all of these tools00:52
NafaiHopefully RAOF and others can school me at UDS :)00:52
persiaNafai: Actually, you'd do best to learn online: UDS is busy, and you'll want to follow along.  Join #ubuntu-packaging anytime and folks are happy to help (or ask here if it's quiet).00:53
Nafaithanks00:53
RAOFOr even #ubuntu-motu; we're more used to (and generally happy to field) beginner questions in there.00:54
* persia thinks it's mostly the same folks answering questions in any of these places.00:54
RAOFMostly, yeah.00:55
YokoZarWas Universe/Multiverse supposed to be disabled in apt by default?  (and then silently enabled by codec-install and software center when you install an appropriate package)?  I don't see the point other than breaking apt:// links00:56
persia#ubuntu-desktop might be handy as well, for the bits about how the Deskop packages work with bzr, etc.00:56
persiaYokoZar: Not anymore.  Used to be that way.00:56
* persia wishes multiverse was still disabled, but ...00:56
* jdong giggles at http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/wtf.png00:56
jdongam I supposed to say yes or no?00:56

* YokoZar wonders why jdong is installing checkbox on a terminal session...00:58
persiajdong: ubuntu-bug to the rescue!00:58
YokoZarpersia: By the way do you know if there's a sort of bzr-hg tool?  I know we have bzr-git and now there's git-hg too00:58
jdongYokoZar: I don't know what checkbox is and why it's on this system I'm do-release-upgrading.00:58
YokoZarjdong: it's a QA tool that's only graphical00:58
jdongYokoZar: oh.00:59
jdongwell List of jobs to blacklist: Suites Blacklist: ____________00:59
* jdong is gonna just assume blank....00:59
persiajdong: I have a suspicion there is because I've heard of folks doing hudson with bzr, but ask in #bzr01:00
persiaYokoZar: It's not only graphical: the primary frontend is graphical.01:00
YokoZarYes, true01:00
YokoZarI haven't run it on a headless setup in forever because all the tests I cared about were the ones that crashed X01:01
persiaheh.01:01
RAOFYokoZar: I'm pretty sure that launchpad is now using bzr-hg to mirror mercurial branches, so I'd guess that it's out there *somewhere* :)01:02

arandRegarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519541 I'm wondering if it's worth looking for a small diff here? Is the new package still not very appropriate for a SRU, and hence narrowing down the error is a worthwhile pastime?01:45

psusiwell that's weird... why is #ubuntu+1 invite only?01:46

arandpsusi: It's shut down, until 6th01:46
psusiodd to close the channel though...01:47
JanC#ubuntu-1 is to discuss the next version, and that has to be started still  ;)01:47
persiaarand: Yeah, it would need a cherrypicked fix.01:48

psusishame that dmraid support regressed at the last minute...01:49
TerminXis the 6th supposed to be when the maverick repo opens?01:49
persiaarand: Good luck.  I recommend focusing on stacktraces, rather than on the upstream changes.  Use the upstream changes as reference when trying to find a fix once you find the interseting bit of the stacktrace.01:49
persiaTerminX: It's usually mushier than that: in that the repo first needs to be defined, and then it needs to get toolchain uploads, and sometimes multiple revisions, and then it's open for general use.01:50
JanCon the 6th most developers will probably be in the middle of nowhere somewhat south of brussels  ;)01:50
persiaTerminX: I'd say it's a safe bet that the repo will be open before the 9th, but wouldn't want to promise that it's definitely open on the 6th (although that's likely)01:51
persiaJanC: Why, is there another event happening?01:51
JanCpersia: UDS ?01:51
TerminXah, okay.  I usually switch to the new repo within a couple of days after it opening01:51
TerminXI ran debian unstable for years until warty opened01:52
persiaJanC: I didn't think that started until the 10th (and planned to arrive the 9th).  Will I be missing something?01:52
TerminXit was a no-brainer to switch since debian was moving extremely slowly at the time :p01:52

bthesorcerordoes anyone have any suggestions for a newbie that wants to get involved in ubuntu development?02:19
persiabthesorceror: I've an entire collection, depending on the sort of thing you like to do.  What do you like to do?02:28
bthesorcerorwell my day job is a web developer for a university, but I am looking to get more hands on with the system and want to learn more about what makes it tick02:30
bthesorcerorso I guess the real answer is I dont really know yet02:31
persiaOK.  The way I usually recommend for folks that aren't sure is to get involved in bugsquad for some of the packages they use, and get to know any teams that work on packages that interest them.02:33
persiaSo, if you're interested in webservers, you'd want to hang out in #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-server and see if you can track down (and maybe help fix) issues with the webserver.  If you get enough of that at work, and want to do something completely different in the evening, you might choose something different, like #ubuntu-bugs+#ubuntu-mythtv02:34
bthesorcerorok, that sounds like a good idea, thanks for the help02:35

seb128did somebody read any bug about fsck being stucked around 90% and use lot of cpu?10:13
seb128didrocks and I just got the same issue today10:13
seb12888% to 91% take like twice the time usually full fsck takes10:14
pittithis rather doesn't sound like a plymouth problem, though (too specific on the percentages)10:14
seb128the cpu seems to be quite busy hearing the laptop noise10:14
pittithe total percentage is calculated from the fsck stage and progress within that stage10:15
pittiperhaps that particular one just took very long10:15
seb128it's weird that didrocks and I just got the same issue today10:15
seb128well if you skip a fsck it should trigger again on next boot?10:15
didrocksyeah, that was very weird. I was thinking I was an isolated case10:15
seb128because I stopped it and reboot and I didn't get it to trigger again10:16
seb128I'm wondering if fsck was done running but plymouth didn't notice10:16
joaopintowhy did you both get a full system check at the same time in the first place :) ?10:16
seb128I think mine was just the normal "n uncheck mounts" one10:17
didrocksI guess it's the same for me. I saw that a lot of previous one was just ignored (as if I triggered C) IIRC10:17
didrocksbut I didn't cancel them myself10:17
joaopintoyou coud try to reproduce with /forcefsck10:19
seb128joaopinto, where do you specify that? grub?10:21
joaopintothere is an option on grub, but you can do it at the fs level: sudo touch /forcefsck10:22
seb128joaopinto, let's try that, thanks10:23
joaopintoI did have an issue with the fsck hanging for a long time on the 70%, but I had the idea that was identified and fixed during beta/rc10:25
arandI had a stuckage at 74% after a /forcefsck as seen by others: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/554737   New very similar bug? Or this one hanging around still?10:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 554737 in plymouth "ply_boot_client_flush() does not read replies (plymouth stuck during/after filesystem check or error)" [High,Fix released]10:30
sladenactually, I think I may have been that a week ago10:33
seb128arand, thanks10:33
seb128didrocks, pitti: ^ seems similar10:33
sladena reboot cured it (the fsck had finished sufficiently)10:33
sladenmy dread was that a reboot in the middle of a half finished fsck would just fsck again, but that didn't happen10:34
didrocksseb128: right, seems similar. I'm rebooting to have a try there too…10:34
pittisladen: ah, perhaps it did crash then10:34
pittiseb128 ^ I mean10:34
arandFor me, I had to get rid of plymouth (I assume, booting without quiet and splash) to get past it... testing in a vbox as we speak..10:34
Tm_Toh, was about to ask why fsck leads to boot problems...10:35
sladenpitti: I think it hung, I left it 5 minutes, then grumbled and rebooted.  So either that was enough time to get fro 75% to 100% (without displaying any progress), or the display of the progress is badly calibrated in the first place10:36
Tm_Tseems to me that after checks are finished, boot doesn't continue10:36
Tm_Tbeen 15 mins after last partition checked and no proceeding10:37
Tm_Tsladen: when I tried with plash, percentages crawled to 90 and then stopped, so for whatever reason it's not reliable at all10:39
arandYes, When I turned of graphical boot the fsck just stated "clean" and it booted fine... However if I only booted in graphical it was stuck in a loop..10:39
Tm_Tcrawl = several minutes per percent with no disk activity10:39
sladenarand: if you leave it 10 minutes first, then reboot?10:41
arandsladen: I'll do that... It's a virtualbox.10:42
didrocks(the fsck after reboot is proceeding there)10:42
arandHmm, it's ~5-10 min now since booted, it halted on 70% and has now crawled to 74%..10:43
Tm_Tarand: might be ready already10:44
Tm_Tif no apparent disk activity...10:44
didrocksarand: same here :)10:46
didrocks74% too, let's see who will win10:46
Tm_Tit'll crawl up from there while doing nothing10:47
arandOh! This is interesting, if I jump out to a tty (ctrl+alt+left) wait a while, and the jump back, it has moved much faster, otherwise it takes almost a minute or so per percent, if at all.10:47
Tm_TOOH! I waited long enough, boot continues (:)10:48
Tm_T~30 minutes doing nothing10:48
arandAnd when I jump to the tty I see the fsck... 0.3% non-contiguous... message, which should indicate that the fsck is in fact done, right? the fsck message is printed each time I jump out.10:49
didrocksI confirm there too (well, reprinting is maybe due to fb handling), but normally, that means it's done10:50
arandIt sound a lot like 554737 revisited, or is it to be considered new? Bug #571707 doesn't seem to be this one..10:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 571707 in mountall "fsck at bootstrap is too slow" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57170710:59
hrwfsck on start is a thing which needs improvements. I did not yet know how it is in ubuntu but in Debian I feel that strange (even as 11 years Debian user). I understand that when 'fsck -a' fails then user has to do something. but on my machines I usually do "fsck" and press enter key to get all "fix <y>" accepted. normal stndard users will probably do similar.11:00
didrocksarand: I pretty agree that should be part of it11:00
didrocksarand: there is already a bootchart asked by keybuck. It seems we are all struck by it and the importance is already high (I'm at 90% right now)11:02
=== al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away
aranddidrocks: Yes, seems like a nasty one...11:03
apwpitti, yo ... maverick burn down ... i know its real early but as we use the WI db to visualise our commitments list wise i am interested in getting the maverick.db building ... wondering when you might be planning to start11:07
pittiapw: I'm happy to start ASAP, but for that to work we need to create maverick in LP first11:08
pittiotherwise you can't target specs to it, read milestone dates, and so on11:08
apwpitti, damn good point :)11:08
aranddidrocks: Would you say it's probably the latter bug then? That one states that there is no output on the ttys...11:12
Tm_Tseems like fsck does its job normally but plymouth doesn't act accordingly11:13
arandYes, especially since if you jump out to a tty it proceeds properly and boots fine.11:13
didrocksarand: I would say the root cause should be the same. After printing or not on tty can be related to framebuffer handling on various graphic card… (maybe adding a comment on the bug report there ?)11:13
Tm_Twithout plymouth graphics, it spits out fsck results to tty and then wait 30 minutes here11:14
Tm_Tthis in physical hardware, with old grub11:17
arandTm_T: For me the boot takes less than a minute if I disable splash & quiet along with /forcefsck11:24
arand(virtualbox)11:25
didrocksok, partition 1 finished, partition 2 now11:27
aranddidrocks: You really going to sit through it to the end?11:29
didrocksarand: well, I have my netbook, so, not that a big deal :)11:29
aranddidrocks: Well, if you just jump out to tty it should finish much quicker, at least if it's the same thing... and unless you aim to get som full gory debug out of it...11:31
didrocksarand: right, just have to jump for more than 4 seconds apparently11:32
didrocksarand: if you jump and come back, it doesn't11:32
joaopintouff, I am sure plymouth/mountall will be the show stopper winners on 10.0411:32
didrocksjoaopinto: well, if it's fixed soon enough, people installing lucid won't have the time to reboot 30 times (there is still the issue with people upgrading though)11:34
arandThe logs just posted on Bug #571707 is a nice display of plymouthd (presumably) doing the exact opposite of the intended...11:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 571707 in mountall "fsck at bootstrap is too slow" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57170711:34
slangasekmvo: <Dave> I mark Lucid a Success. Even my ability to break things that should not be breakable was no match for the upgrade process!11:35
slangasekmvo: congrats :-)11:35
arandWell, it's (seemingly) easily worked around by switching to tty, but that's not a good consolidation for most... I discovered it completely by mistake when trying to switch host virtual desktops, which got picked up by vbox instead :S11:36
joaopintodidrocks, there were too many issues being fixed too late on the development cycle, not enough time for broader testing, anyway the change was a challenge, I don't want to sound negative11:37
arandDo you think we should add a plymouth task there as well?11:38
didrocksarand: I was swithing to a tty, but too quickly for seeing the benefit on the time. I guess it's not easily discoverable :/11:38
didrocksarand: I think keybuck is on it as he answered, so he will triage if it's mountall or plymouth himself, I would say11:39
aranddidrocks: No, as seen by the orig reporter as well, who apparently just concluded that tty was empty.11:39
didrocksarand: maybe we should ping him directly when he'll be online to point him to the last debugging info11:40

joaopintoDamascene, there was a recent blog post on planet about someone with would like to fix VTE14:55
joaopintoI mean, more like asking for help on where to start to look at14:55
Damascenecould you give me a link?14:56
joaopintoI don't have the link :\14:58

joaopintoops sorry, I mean ubuntu planet15:06

hyperaircrimsun: the 01Pulseaudio script seems rather.. broken on lucid.15:12
hyperaircrimsun: seems like an invalid invocation of su15:12
hyperaircrimsun: and a misplaced '15:13
Damasceneso VTE is not going to be fixed. any one could help in having mlterm installed for RTL users?15:13
joaopintoDamascene, aren't there locoteams for the affected countries ?15:14
Damasceneyeah. I've contacted some of them and even subscribed some of them15:15
Damascenewhat do you want them to do?15:15
ScottKYou might talk to dpm since it seems to relate to language support.15:23
dpmthanks for the heads up, ScottK. Damascene, are you going to UDS or know someone who could bring up this subject there? I can add it as a topic to a session, but I lack the tecnical knowledge on vte/mlterm to be able to commit to making it available, and it'd be good to have someone to discuss it with15:33
hyperaircrimsun: i'll take back what i said about "rather broken" and replace it with "broken in so many ways that I can't even begin to imagine what went wrong"15:33
Damascenedpm, thank you. I don't know what the UDS is and I don't know any one who can help.15:34
dpmDamascene, ah, sorry. UDS is the Ubuntu Developer Summit, where the discussion for the next Ubuntu release takes place. It happens every 6 months, at the beginning of a release cycle, and the next one is going to Be in Brussels in a couple of weeks time -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS15:36
DamasceneI can't go there for sure :)15:37
dpmit's open to everyone interested in contributing to Ubuntu and working towards making it rock even arder, basically15:37
dpmharder, I meant15:37
Damascenecould you make it a session topic15:38
Damascenelease15:38
Damasceneplease15:38
dpmDamascene, I'll add it as a topic for one of the translations roundtables. Remember you can also participate remotely at UDS via IRC and listening to the session's voice stream. There is a class next week on IRC where Jorge Castro will explain how to participate remotely, if you are interested -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek (on Friday)15:40

Damasceneyou should start to offer channel based on problem kind15:49
Damascene#ubuntu-boot-problem, #ubuntu-update-problem15:50
Damascene:)15:50
joaopintoDamascene, that would allow more specialized support, but would be a burden to manage15:50
DamasceneI think it's better than users get lost in channel jam15:52
dpmDamascene, it would definitely help if one of the mlterm developers could assist, either in person or remotely15:53
joaopintoand it would also allow to have developers to be present on related channels15:53
Damascenejoaopinto, exactly15:54
Damascenesome one should work on this15:54
Damascenedpm, I'll try to contact the developer15:54
joaopintoDamascene, there is an ubuntu irc group I think, you could suggest to them15:54
