jdongajmitch: hmmmm hmmmmmmm, well I remember watching in amusment when temugen was figuring out what muttrc only changed colors of some emails...00:28
jdongbut I don't know how I can qualify that as serious data loss, denial of service, etc etc etc00:28
jdongbut at the same time the patch is so simple I can't fathom what'd go wrong (famous last words)....00:29
jdonghmm....00:29
jdongI'd say ask for a second opinion for the SRU00:29
jdongif this were an esoteric Universe package I'd honestly say yes, but given that this is mutt, I'm a bit more careful.00:29
ajmitchbut given that it's a patch that's from upstream, and in lucid via debian?00:31
=== wgrant_ is now known as wgrant
jdongajmitch: if I say yes, would you have my back if someone WTFs me? :)00:46
ajmitchsure00:47
* ajmitch uses mutt every day, but not on karmic :)00:47
jdongawesome :)00:48
jdongmutt hasn't exactly changed in the last decade *ducks*00:48
temugenthere were a lot of other upstream patches, though :P Not sure what for since mutt is usually rock solid. I can't believe I actually ran into that coloring bug00:48
jdongtemugen: hahaha I'd rather not go candy-picking, let's just take care of ones people stumble into.00:49
temugenjdong: I agree :)00:49
jdongtemugen: it's no fun to fix a bug until you can point and laugh at someone who was affected00:49
jdong(KIDDING, kinda)00:49
jdong(don't quote me exactly)00:49
temugenquoted00:49
jdong:)00:50
* ajmitch pastes that into the LP bug00:50
TheMusojdong: You still using a macbook?01:02
jdongTheMuso: yes sir01:02
TheMusojdong: Are you aware that grub2 now allows an easier way of setting the intel SATA controller to AHCI?01:03
TheMusoThat is, if you still use a machine with an Intel SATA controller.01:03
jdongTheMuso: oh, said Macbook with the Intel chipset has been retired to the folks01:04
jdongTheMuso: but that's awesome to know01:04
jdongTheMuso: new Macbook Pro has far more amusing gripes about jack sense and those fun topics :)01:04
TheMusojdong: Yeah, the setpci command/module allows things to be adjusted so.01:04
TheMusojdong: I am sure.01:04
jdongTheMuso: ah, nice. Yay GRUB201:06
jdongTheMuso: have you ever been scared about all the functionality they're putting into bootloaders these days? :)01:06
TheMusojdong: No.01:06
jdongTheMuso: 5 years ago it would've been a joke, but now.... how long will it be before my bootloader supports ssh'ing or a busybox shell?01:07
TheMusoheh01:07
TheMusoAnyway, I now use grub2 for my 2008 mbp to enable AHCI.01:07
jdongcool01:10
directhexi wish grub2 would stop adding non-functional osx entries01:11
TheMusodirecthex: Yeah, we should try and address that somehow...01:11
jdongI've never tried any of those entries but assumed they hilariously don't work.01:11
directhexgarbage IME01:12
directhexi chain load grub2 from refit01:12
jdongI don't like the switch of hotkeys either for bringing up the menu01:12
jdongI was doing technical review for a new edition of a Ubuntu book...01:12
jdongand now there's a hilarious number of "if you're using Legacy GRUB.... if you're using GRUB2....."01:13
RAOFjdong: Yeah, they hilariously don't work.01:14
jdongwhoo! hilarious! :)01:14
directhexdid anyone see my tinkering?01:15
imbrandonwhat tinkering ?01:16
RAOFThe themeing tinkering?01:18
directheximbrandon, http://imgur.com/AHlSI01:18
* imbrandon looks01:18
directhexRAOF, precisely01:18
imbrandondirecthex: grub2 ?01:18
directheximbrandon, aye01:18
imbrandonnice, i was tinking with some animated plymoth things01:19
imbrandonuntill i unterly broke my booting01:19
imbrandonlol01:19
imbrandonshould have done it in a VM01:19
imbrandondirecthex: isnt grub2 hidden by default in lucid though ?01:19
directheximbrandon, yeah, unless you re-enable it, or have multiple OSes01:20
mannyvwhat would be the new version  for an SRU on opendchub 0.8.0-5?01:21
imbrandondirecthex: :)01:21
directhexmannyv, you generally wouldn't SRU directly to lucid, you'd have a fixed version in maverick01:22
mannyvdirecthex, there is an exploit in opendchub 0.8.2 that will give a shell, in 0.8.0 it will not give a shell but it does crash the deamon01:25
directhexmannyv, have you filed a security bug? that's a good start01:25
ScottKWith a patch is even better.01:29
mannyvits been fixed upstream, and in sqeeze and I wanted to try brining the fix into lucid01:29
mannyvmaverick should be fine because the patch will be autosynced01:30
ScottKDoes the new upstream release just fix this issue or does it include other stuff too?01:30
mannyvScottK it is a new version, moves from 0.8.0 to 0.8.201:31
ScottKHow about 0.8.1 to 0.8.2?01:31
ScottKFor a post release update we need just the fix for the security issue.01:31
mannyvScottK, I don't see a 0.8.1 either in LP or BTS01:33
mannyvso should I will file a bug report with the patch and a schroot test build/install against lucid?01:33
ScottKmannyv: How about upstream?01:34
ScottKYes.  That would be great.01:34
mannyvok i will do that then come back =)01:34
mannyvI still dont quite get what you are asking about 0.8.101:34
imbrandonwe try to make sru's as little as possible, only fixing the issues, new versions are fro -backports normaly01:35
imbrandonbut if its security its a whole nother ball game01:35
imbrandonspeaking of ball games, nixternal, you watchin the sox and royals playin ?01:36
psusitemugen, I can't get a mouseover to work on that svg, though I can see the file names when I look at the raw svg01:49
jdongpsusi: browser?01:55
psusijdong, chromium or firefox01:55
jdonginteresting...01:55
jdongwhich chromium?01:55
* jdong grumbles about more browser fun01:55
psusididn't know there was more than one01:56
jdongpsusi: ah so many builds of chromium01:56
temugenhehe my chromium renders it on mouseover :-/01:56
jdongstable (windows-only), beta, dev, SVN nightlies, ... ... ...01:56
jdongI'm guessing temugen runs the dev channel01:56
jdongpsusi: add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/dev?01:56
imbrandongoogle-chrome ftw ;)01:57
psusihrm... ok01:57
temugenpsusi: view-source:http://svg-whiz.com/svg/Tooltip2.svg or you can add that <script> tag to the svg01:57
temugenthat will use the title tag that's already on all of the blocks and give you a big and pretty tooltip :)01:57
* jdong can't wait for the HTML5 browser disparities to start happening01:58
jdongand wow what's up with the PPA lagtime01:58
jdong(err, OT)01:58
temugenpsusi: or I can have it autoadd the script for you, but it seems like something that the SVG renderer should take care of and not us01:58
* jdong semi-sarcastically brings up the idea of cashing in LP karma points for buildscores01:59
psusiI'm not quite sure what to do with that02:00
temugenpsusi: the script tag?02:00
psusiyea02:00
psusicut everything in the script tag and put it where in the svg?02:01
temugenpsusi: http://pastebin.com/6G0CpedZ You should be able to copy and paste that just above the first <path element02:01
temugenI should probably test it out first to not send you on a goose chase :)02:02
psusididn't work... hrm...02:04
temugenpsusi: yea that's going to take a little more work :-/ hang on02:04
temugenlooking into it02:04
psusik02:04
jdongpsusi: or you can just use a shinier newer chromium....02:05
* jdong has no idea what explains the same software not working on two machines the same way :)02:05
psusiohh?  let me update02:05
jdongpsusi: yeah that'd be my guess to the difference between your setups.02:05
jdongplus chromium is one of those things that does awesomely improve overnight (tm), running the dev channel on Linux is really nice.02:06
temugenpsusi: but if not, I just got the big tooltips working too (3 things to add, or I can add them in the template and you can bzr up, your choice)02:06
psusiok, upgraded to the new chromium, still no popup02:09
temugenpsusi: it's like a tooltip, you have to let the mouse sit there for a second02:12
temugenbut I assume you tried that already02:12
temugenso I'll start adding the script to the template02:12
psusithat other example page worked02:13
psusichromium sure does burn up a lot of cpu whenever I move the mouse over this thing though02:14
temugenpsusi: yes it does :P ok, you can update. I really prefer to keep this up to the renderer in the future, though02:18
temugenand note collision detection/whatever still burns through a core on my machine02:19
wgrantjdong: Er, the PPA build queues appear to all be under 90 minutes. Am I missing something?02:19
wgrantjdong: That's still bad, but not as utterly deplorable and inexcusable as it has been for the last couple of weeks.02:20
psusithere we go!02:20
jdongwgrant: oh is it still 90 minutes?02:20
jdongwgrant: I was uploading last week to 2 of my PPA's and the builds got estimated for 3 days and built in 2 or so02:21
wgrantIt should be down to 0 soon.02:21
jdongwgrant: and I noticed https://edge.launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/dev still has packages waiting for build?02:21
jdonguploaded 33hrs ago02:21
wgrantIt's still processing the backlog from the buildd-manager breakage this morning.02:21
wgrantHmm.02:21
jdongbut ah, glad to hear the queue is clearing up02:21
wgrantOh.02:22
wgranti386 is still well behind.02:22
jdong"start in 9 hours"02:22
jdongok02:22
wgrantI guess there are tonnes of superseded dailies still to go, so it won't really be that long.02:22
wgrantIn a couple of months the dailies will be shuffled off into their own build pool, so they will disrupt and be disrupted less significantly.02:23
jdongah okay, cool02:23
psusison of a bitch!02:23
psusithey are bloody symlinks ;)02:23
temugenpsusi: OH DAMMIT02:23
temugen*headdesk*02:23
psusithe file names listed in ureadahead --dump are symlinks, and the files they point to are left on the outer areas of the disk02:24
psusihehe02:24
psusiI optimized the symlink instead of what it points to02:24
jdongHAHAHAHAHAHA02:24
temugenHAHAHHA02:24
psusilol02:24
jdongWHOOOOOOOO!02:24
jdongXD02:24
temugenCLASSIC!02:24
ajmitchobvious fix is "Don't Do That"?02:24
* psusi searches for ls flag to follow symlinks02:24
jdongtemugen: maybe it should upon encountering a symlink list.append(mentioned file)02:24
lifelesspsusi: realpath ?02:24
jdongtemugen: and ok actually getting ureadahead-like data on symlink (e.g. calling FIEMAP) is an exercise left to the reader.02:25
jdongXD02:25
temugenjdong: well this isn't a problem with the grapher since the grapher reads directly from ureadahead02:25
psusilooks like I want ls -H02:25
psusinow let me try again with a -H thrown in02:25
jdongtemugen: oh ureadahead gives the name of symlinks but actually reads the right files?02:25
temugenjdong: that's what it sounds like02:25
* jdong slaps himself for doubting Keybuk.02:25
jdong:)02:25
ScottKjdong: Aren't you supposed to be studying or something?02:25
jdongScottK: gah, the downside of a multitasking laptop. Thanks mom!02:26
temugenjdong: well, I'm not terribly certain actually...02:26
psusino, ureadahead reads the real file because that's what you get when you open() the symlink02:26
temugenpsusi: ok, that makes sense02:26
psusibut it gives the symbolic name in the pack file, which I was running ls -i on to get the inode number02:26
temugen*grin*02:27
psusiand that got me the inode number of the link rather than what it pointed to02:27
temugenyea02:27
temugenwell, you got half of the link types right!02:27
psusithere, put THAT list in your defrag and smoke it02:28
psusihrm...02:32
temugenpsusi: hrm?02:35
psusithe picture didn't change much...02:36
psusiwhen it says at ##### what is that number?  the block number?02:36
psusiOHH02:36
temugenbyte02:36
psusiI need to rebuild the pack file ;)02:36
temugenyes you do :P02:36
psusiit's not checking their actual location, rather just going with the pack file02:36
temugenyes exactly02:37
psusiwell, looking at it in debugfs, it certainly looks like this file is where it should be... guess I'll go reboot and rebuild the pack file, hehe02:37
psusinow that is a thing of beauty02:51
psusiand damnit, imageshack doesn't like .svg02:51
psusihad to convert it to png... http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8039/afterl.png02:54
psusioh, and I think I found a bug in the sound system it booted too fast... only heard the last half of the startup sound02:55
psusilike it started trying to play it before the sound card was fully initialized02:55
ScottKI think we aren't going to slow the boot so you can hear the sound.02:56
psusilol... no, but it should wait to start playing the sound until it actually is initialized ;)02:57
psusihttp://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2714/faldaralucid201005052.png02:57
psusilooks like ureadahead is now spending half of its total execution time in the big open() hole.. need to get that fixed and oh boy, total time spent in ureadahead should be less than 2 seconds02:58
=== nobawk is now known as nobawk|away
psusioh yea, forgot to throw my modified ureadahead into the mix...03:04
psusivery nice.... getting there now... just a little bit further to the 10 second mark03:13
psusiumm.... whoa...03:17
psusiI actually got it booting faster from the old rotational drives than my new ssd03:17
psusithat's.... fubar03:17
=== nobawk|away is now known as nobawk
pace_t_zuluhey guys i am trying to build gcc-4.2.3 on lucid ... i get the following error03:25
pace_t_zulupbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy: Depends: gcc-4.3-base which is a virtual package.03:26
pace_t_zuluobviously i am using pbuilder03:26
pace_t_zului can understand how a depend that depends on a later version of the package being built might be an issue03:27
nixternalimbrandon: I hate the sox!03:32
ScottKlucas: I think now'ish would be a good time for a baseline rebuild on Maverick.  It looks like the toolchain is mostly in place.  Any chance of that soon?  Will you be at UDS again?03:35
imbrandonnixternal: lol03:40
psusithere we go... keybuck was right... ureadahead was in hdd mode... had to fix that and now bootchart shows 5.1 seconds ;)03:48
ajmitchpsusi: 5.1 from grub to desktop?03:49
psusiajmitch, that's the time on the top of the bootchart... I think it stops counting once you log in03:49
ajmitchnot too bad anyway, I guess03:50
psusioddly, it was 5.1 seconds the first time, then I turned on auto login and tried again and it went to 7 seconds03:50
psusiI am GOING to get it down under 10 seconds on the rotational disks ;)03:50
* ajmitch would be happy to see < 30 seconds some days03:50
ajmitchthough I don't run bootchart, so I can't really tell what the actual time is03:51
psusiyou don't get that now?  outch...03:51
psusiapt-get install bootchart ;)03:51
ajmitchfrom 0.000000 to seeing fglrx spam in /var/log/dmesg is 38 seconds, I think03:51
psusinow I need to go file a bug about the login sound playing before the hardware is initialized, hehe03:51
psusiomg, do you not have ureadahead enahbled?03:51
* psusi doesn't use fglrx03:52
ajmitchthis is solely going from /var/log/dmesg, assuming that it's seconds in the left-most column03:52
psusiyea, that's the kernel monotonic time03:52
ajmitchso I don't know how much I can trust the numbers03:52
ajmitch[    3.986695] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.03:52
ajmitch[   36.602443] udev: starting version 15103:52
ajmitchwhen it has lines like that (30-second jump there?)03:53
psusiwhoa03:53
psusithis is lucid right?03:53
ajmitchyes03:53
ajmitchit doesn't really make sense to me, and overall the laptop doesn't feel too slow03:54
psusiohh... laptop... SLOW hd03:54
ajmitchureadahead is installed, fwiw :)03:54
ajmitchprobably 5400 RPM, 320GB03:54
psusibut with a good defrag, and ureadahead, should be able to get down to ~10 seconds ;)03:55
ajmitchwhere good implies stable & tested :)03:55
psusihehe03:55
ajmitchyou need to get your crack into maverick soon03:55
ajmitchalso, still on ext3 here, no ext403:55
psusiahh, that's another reason03:56
psusiupgrade to ext403:56
ajmitchwhich to do properly, involves moving all data off, mkfs, and move it back on?03:56
ScottKAh, the fun of moving back to syncing from Unstable.03:56
psusiureadahead gets slowed down by indirect blocks on ext3.. extents for the winz03:56
* ScottK went from 4 pending Universe merges to 25.03:57
* psusi smacks xchat for autocorrecting his use of "teh"03:57
ajmitchScottK: MoM is running?03:57
ScottKajmitch: Apparently.03:57
psusiajmitch, naw, you can use tune2fs to enable most of the new features and get most of the benefits... especially if you follow it with a chattr -R +e03:57
ajmitchpsusi: nice, I might grab a live CD & try it out03:58
psusibasically the only thing you can't flip on is flex_bg, which just makes fsck a bit faster03:58
* ajmitch doesn't seem to have many merges03:58
ajmitchand it looks like we need to go through & clean out the old comments from last time about sync bugs, etc03:59
ScottKFeel free to take libxml2.  I'm probably the last person here who should be caring about the Gnome xml library.04:01
temugenpsusi: heck yes!04:01
psusiajmitch, actually you don't need a livecd04:02
ajmitchI think I even uploaded that at one point in the distant past04:02
psusiajmitch, just flip on the bits with tune2fs and force a fsck on reboot04:02
psusitemugen, eh?04:02
ajmitchpsusi: that sounds too easy04:02
temugenpsusi: I just got a change to look at the fragraph and the bootchart; awesome job!04:02
temugenchance*04:02
jdongpsusi: *WOW* impressive graph!04:03
temugenpsusi: are you moving symlinks to the front as well?04:03
psusijdong, which one?04:03
jdongpsusi: your fragraph04:03
psusitemugen, no... since unless they are very long, they don't actually have any blocks04:04
jdongpsusi: now interesting question: What if you turn off ureadahead?04:04
psusijdong, ohh, right04:04
jdongpsusi: or.... replace it with a simple dd from start_block to end_block of=/dev/null?04:04
psusijdong, then it won't speed up your boot? ;)04:04
jdongpsusi: but your files are already so closely packed.04:04
psusijdong, basically that's what ureadahead should result in...04:04
jdongpsusi: butt what about your open() overhead?04:04
psusijdong, yea... so ureadahead should be able to slurp them up real fast04:04
jdongpsusi: or.... what about backgrounding ureadahead?04:05
jdongpsusi: tricking it to think that it's a SSD04:05
psusijdong, going to rework it to not bother open()ing at all04:05
jdongpsusi: but won't the next time the file need to be open()ed the same overhead be incurred once?04:05
psusinaw, backgrounding not good since you will get out of order reads while other things try to access stuff04:05
jdongpsusi: will seeking around that tiny ring be that big of a deal?04:05
jdongpsusi: your OS and disk firmware both have readahead/elevators ;-)04:05
psusiI need to modify the tracer to map the raw disk blocks each file uses, then append the directories those files live in to the list04:05
psusithen at boot time, call readahead() on the raw block device to slurp up the directories, AND the files04:06
psusiall in one gigantic sequential read04:06
psusirather, right now it maps the raw blocks to figure out the order in which the files should be read04:07
psusiI just need to use the raw address to pass to readahead() on the raw block device during boot instead of passing the file relative addresses to readahead() on the file04:07
psusibut yea, you still want the directory blocks read too so that when the file is really open()ed it is there... so need to get the tracer to add the directories themselves to the pack04:08
psusithen it should be about 1-2 seconds of pegging the disk as max, and done.04:08
* psusi beats the hell out of lp04:09
psusiany idea how to search for a bug that mentions foo AND bar?  not OR?04:10
psusineither foo AND bar nor +foo +bar work04:10
ScottKpsusi: Google.04:10
temugenpsusi: so how exactly are the symlinks laid out in ext3/4? I thought they were generic files unlike hardlink inode additions04:11
psusitemugen, ext2+ stores the link destination in the inode if it is short enough to fit, no external blocks needed04:12
temugenpsusi: ah, awesome! I didn't know that. thank you :)04:12
psusithink it was 30 or 40 characters04:13
ScottKYokoZar: Would you please look at Spring and either upload a merge or request a sync.05:59
YokoZarScottK: will do05:59
ScottKThanks.05:59
persiaOr better, go push anything outstanding into DG VCS, request an upload and *then* request a sync.06:00
gladkHi, all06:10
gladkSorry, I am new in packaging, and I am a little embarrassed with a very short debian/rules file, which was created by dh_make. Can anybody give me a link, where I can see an example of this new debian/rules? Thank you06:11
RAOFgladk: That'd be a debhelper 7 rules file?  It's pretty awesome, and, as you can see, pretty short :).06:15
gladkRight!06:15
gladkhttp://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html#s-defaultrules it is here described06:15
gladkbut no examples06:15
gladkall faqs, what I have found are with long rules file06:16
RAOFSo, debian/rules is Just A Makefile™ with some defined rules.  The dh7 mini-rules file takes advantage of fallback rules.06:18
RAOFThe “%:” rule is “I'm a rule that matches anything.  If you can't find a more specific rule, call me”.06:18
arandIs the "Packaging and MOTU Q&A" session happening?06:19
RAOFIn the mini rules file, that just calls “dh $@”.  The $@ is a special variable, which contains the target of whatever the rule should be.06:19
micahgarand: 1 more hour06:20
RAOFSo, in this makefile, when you call “debian/rules build”, make goes “can I find a build: rule?  No.  Can I find a fallback that would match build?  Yeah, the %: rule.  That tells me to call ‘dh build’”06:20
persiaarand: In -classroom?  If it's scheduled now, the instructor may be busy: try asking questions here.06:20
micahgarand: or rather 40 minutes06:20
arandmicahg: Ah, ( right.. UTC != BST)06:21
dholbachgood morning06:40
micahgdholbach: do you have a few minutes to chat about daily builds?06:41
dholbachno, I'm sorry06:41
dholbachbut later on we can - I have not much experience with the topic yet06:41
dholbachthere might be others who know much more about it than I do06:41
micahgdholbach: I saw you scheduled the blueprint for the daily builds discussion for lucid06:41
dholbachjames_w for example, but I guess he's not up yet06:41
dholbachmicahg: yes, I need to prepare myself for these06:42
micahgdholbach: not about making them, about integrating into Ubuntu workflow06:42
dholbachyes, the idea being that lots of teams benefit from them already, so we try the spread the word about them and see if we can improve things, etc.06:43
dholbachI haven't investigated the procedure much yet06:43
micahgdholbach: well, we were thinking of building a release type picker for mozilla products (daily, beta, stable) and I was wondering if this is something to discuss as a global thing at your session or if I should make a separate session06:44
dholbachmicahg: I think we should talk about it there06:44
dholbachmicahg: it'd be great to hear more about best practices and this seems to work well for you guys06:45

ajmitchif it's not on LP, you don't need to do that to submit merge proposals :)07:56

toabctli want to build modemmanager from the git-repository. i cloned the repository and copied the debian/ dir from modemmanager-0.3 to the git-reprository. if i try to build with "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot" i got the following error:config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'08:41
toabctlmake: *** [config.status] Fehler 108:41
toabctl 08:41
toabctlany ideas?08:41
imbrandontoabctl: is there an autoget.sh ? rcs checkouts are normaly not prepared to build right away without some prep work, like autogen and/or configure08:44
imbrandondepending on the type of source08:44
toabctlimbrandon, yes, there's a autogen.sh08:44
imbrandonrun it, then try to build08:45
toabctlimbrandon, should i first execute ./autogen.sh and then try to build the package?08:45
imbrandonyes, since you did a checkout instead of using the upstream tarbal08:45
persiaLaney: done.  Thanks!08:46
toabctlimbrandon, now it works. thanks!08:47
imbrandonnp08:47
Laneycheers!08:47
toabctlnext question is how to name the package in debian/changelog . it's a git-checkout so i should mention this in the version? is there a version-name-guide anywhere?08:48
persiaThere isn't a version guide.08:48
persiaMost people tend to do things like 1.2.3+gitYYMMDD or similar.08:49
persiaWhere 1.2.3 is the last released version.08:49
toabctlpersia, ok. thanks.08:49
toabctlpersia: and then without 0ubuntu1 or something like this?08:49
persiaOh, the stuff after the '-' is the same.08:50
toabctlwould be "modemmanager (0.3+git20100506) lucid; urgency=low" correct=08:50
persiaSo 1.2.3+git20100506-0ubuntu1 would work.08:50
toabctlah.ok08:50
imbrandonand your new tar you carefuly craft would be modemanager_0.3+git20100506.orig.tar.gz for version modemanager (0.3+git20100506-0ubuntu1~tobactl1) lucid;08:54

sebnerpersia: I'm willing to look but I can't create a maverick  pbuilder :(10:22
sebnerRhonda: ;D10:23
persiasebner: What's not working?10:24
Rhondasebner: What's the problem?10:24
sebnerpersia: I: Installing core packages...10:24
sebnerW: Failure trying to run: chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/build/2062/. dpkg --force-depends --install10:24
sebnerE: debootstrap failed10:24
RhondaCan you create a lucid pbuilder, do a pbuilder --login --save-after-login and change the sources.list?10:24
* persia tries a schroot build10:25
* sebner tries10:26
RhondaWhen I can't bootstrap directly I usually take the chroot from the former release, copy it and change the sources.list and then do a regular --update10:27
sebnerRhonda: well, I never had problems, OTOH I never created a pbuilder that soon in the dev cycle (toolchain not ready etc)10:31
ograpersia, are you aware that http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ still points to lucid ?10:44
ograsomeone should probably change the default :)10:44
persiaWhy?10:44
ograbecause maverick is of intrest now ?10:45
persiaUntil the archive opens, there's little point, and it's better to focus on SRUs.  http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/maverick.html is boring.10:45
persiaShortly after archive-open, all the lucid FTBFS packages will get retried, and that page will be interesting again.10:45
persiaAnd then it makes sense to change the default.10:46
persiaSo, unless something strange happens, the default will probably change sometime this weekend.10:46
persiaBut needs stable toolchain first, which, if nothing else, probably needs a fix for eglibc on armel :)10:47
persia(but that''s already being investigated by the toolchain folks)10:47
persiaOh, and gcc on ia64 would be helpful :)  I'm not sure why kdeplasma-addons was tried: seems early for that.10:48
l3onHi all... I'm trying to packaging a lib for ubuntu (karmic) but I have some problems with SHLIB in amd64 (i386 is fine). There are known issue for SHLIB in amd64?10:49
imbrandonpersia: you are a schroot user correct ?10:49
persial3on: Not for me.  Could you be more verbose?10:50
persiaimbrandon: Yes.10:50
persiasebner: My maverick schroot created fine.  Maybe try a different debootstrap-mirror?10:50
sebnerpersia: bah, kk. Will try later10:51
imbrandonpersia: i'm trying to get it to export DISPLAY=:1 on schroot login, i cant figure out a way to acatualy make it work, do you auto set your display for X programs ?10:51
persiaimbrandon: Have you tried with just `schroot -p ...` ?10:52
imbrandonyes :(10:52
l3onpersia: yes of course... take a look at build logs here -> https://launchpad.net/~l3on/+archive/dtn2/+packages10:52
persiaHow didn't that work?10:52
l3onpersia: in particular liboasys10:52
persial3on: oasys?10:52
imbrandonpersia: i';m not sure, probably because outside the chroot i the DISPLAY is not :110:52
imbrandonand -p preserves the env10:53
l3onpersia: yes10:53
persiaimbrandon: How about `DISPLAY=:1 schroot -p ...`10:53
imbrandonthat was the next step, then there was putting "export DISPLAY=:1" inside a script and calling schroot /path/to/script/inside/chroot10:54
imbrandonalso failed to set it ( or even run the script )10:54
persial3on: So, which variable isn't being set, and how?10:54
l3onpersia: in Makefile I see this:10:54
persiaimbrandon: OK.  If you set DISPLAY=:1 manually inside the schroot, does it work?10:55
sebnerpersia: same failure with lucid, I guess my connection is bad as it failed to retrieve some packages10:55
persiasebner: Aha.  That makes sense.  Best of luck!10:55
carstenhimbrandon: DISPLAY=xy schroot -c sid -p works10:55
imbrandonpersia: yes10:55
imbrandoncarstenh: hum ...10:56
l3onpersia: this is the Makefile -> http://dtn.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/dtn/oasys/raw-file/375fcbb4b5c4/Makefile10:56
l3onpersia: look for "installlibs"10:56
l3onehm... installlib10:56
persial3on: So, how is SHLIB_EXT defined?10:57
carstenhimbrandon: though I'm still using 1.2.x, newer version might behave different10:57
l3onpersia: this is realy funny. The configure script could enable-shlibs, but there is no effect. SHLIB_EXT is defined in Rules.make as "" (null). This in amd64, in i386 instead all works fine, and I have shlibs without do give to configure --enable-shlibs option.11:00
imbrandonpersia / carstenh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428866/11:00
persial3on: You may want to add a bunch of echo statements, and then compare the two build logs carefully.  Something is arch-specific, and it's specific to that code.11:01
sebnerpersia: Rhonda , DktrKranz is willing to do it after lunch :)11:01
l3onpersia: I'm not so expert in packaging, have you 5 minutes trying to find out the problem?11:02
imbrandonpersia: we ever hear anymore from the fella doing the linux-rt stuff? i offered to review his stuff , gave him my email and such and never heard anything yet11:03
persial3on: It would take me ~20 to prepare the environment to compare.  You needn't be an expert: just compare the build logs side-by-side until you find a difference.  Then add `echo ${SHLIB_EXT}` in a few places to try to narrow down where it is/isn't being set.11:04
persiaabogani: imbrandon is looking for you ^^11:04
l3onOk persia :)11:04
persial3on: Once you find the part that is different, come back, and we can probably help you find a way to fix it.11:05
imbrandonpersia: thanks11:05
carstenhimbrandon: schroot has a debug option11:08
persiaimbrandon: I can't replicate (and I've tried lots of different ways).  http://paste.ubuntu.com/428871/ demonstrates my experience.11:09
imbrandoncarstenh: k i'll look for it now, i have to run for a few hours ( maybe shorter ) thanks for the input though ( its anoying to export the display every time , lol )11:09
persiaimbrandon: You might want to look at dropping some scripts in /etc/schoot/ then :)11:10
imbrandonpersia: k, might be something buggy with my homedir mounts too, since i have the same use and home inside and out of the chroot so .Xauthorty might be finky11:11

sebnerricotz: .3 will be bugfix only I guess, if important stuff I guess there is no problem with a SRU11:17
ricotzsebner, yes, 2.0.x are bugfix-only releases and indeed it includes important fixes ;-)11:18
sebnerricotz: heh, I know, I uploaded 2.0.1 :P11:19
sebnerricotz: btw, suggestion: Theme changes should include also the docky dock icon, I want to have the blue one, not the brown one but I don't want to use clearlooks theme in ubuntu :P11:22

sebnerricotz: yeah, that's our git tree ;)11:25
ricotzsebner, the docky icon is colored with the selection color to better blend in, not sure we gonna change that, it is possible to change the color with a gconf-key11:28
sebnerricotz: ohh, I totally missed that 2.0.3.1 is already out :D why the .1 btw?11:29
* sebner searches gconf key11:29
sebnerricotz: value 187 is brown? What's blue then?11:30
ricotzsebner, there was a problem with 2.0.3 release11:30
sebnerkk11:30
ricotzsebner, this value shifts your selection color, so you need to try11:31
* sebner tries11:31
sebnerricotz: with clearlook the value is 7 but it doesn't change when using my theme :(11:34
directhexsebner, you want to update to .1 before sponsoring i guess11:35

directhexslowly11:37
sebnerdirecthex: lucky you, I can't even set-up a pbuilder ¬_¬11:37
ricotzsebner, we dont have gconf live updates, so docky should not run while change values manually - http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=GConf_Settings11:38
sebnerricotz: ohoho!11:38
* sebner kills docky11:39
* sebner hugs ricotz :D11:40
sebnerricotz: works now, had to use a negative value though11:40
ricotzdirecthex, how strict is the debian cli policy since docky is started with "exec mono ..." instead of "exec /usr/bin/cli ..."?11:40
ricotzsebner, good :)11:41
sebnerricotz: well, we can patch it (or are we doing it already?)11:41

persiaBased on the disclosure, it looks like prior versions are unaffected, but I believe it's best practice to attempt the exploit and see if they also need patching.18:14
persiadapper has 0.7.14 and the rest have 0.7.1518:14
mannyvok so next steps for me would be to a) attempt on 0.7.{14,15}, b) create a seperate debdiff for each affected version, c) fix patch tagging ?18:16
lfaraoneIs "lshell impropely handles shell expansions" a SRU-worthy fix? ("ll -a" -> "ls -l-a" rather than -> "ls -l -a")18:18
lfaraone... at the same time, there's a security flaw in lshell that needs fixing apparently. Should these be separate uploads to the different pockets?18:19
ScottKlfaraone: Ask the secuirty team in #ubuntu-hardened.  I had one recently they said to put throught the SRU process first and then they'd also put it out through -security.18:24
RainCTgeser: uhm good question, now that you mention it I have no idea what resolution those screens have. In any case, way more than enough :P19:54
persiaNo such thing.19:56
* RainCT is confused. persia: was that for me?19:57
RainCTah that there is not enough resolution?19:57
persiaRIght.19:58
persiaHuman vision is about 60750x40500 pixels.19:58
persiaNobody makes displays like that.19:58
persiaActually, more like 80000x40000, but as two overlapping 60000x40000 fields.19:59
RainCTWell, I suppose there isn't much to gain with 40.000 pixel displays20:01
persiaWell, you only need that resolution if you've built a 1" display and have it against your eye.20:02
RainCTlol20:02
persiaFor a standard monitor position, you only need about 9000x45020:03
persiaErr, 9000x4500.20:03
persiaAnything less and it's distinguishable from non-rendered objects.20:03
persia(well, depends on display size, distance, etc.)20:03
* persia fails at math *again* : ~9000x6750 (at 4:3)20:04
steevhey all, I've got an issue with WINE and I need a newer openal (1.12.854 which was released in March) No problem I thought, I did a builddep of libopenal1, grabbed the patches and the 1.12.854 sources... but now for the life of me, I cannot seem to get it to create packages with the correct version # - what am i missing that I need to change?20:08
persiasteev: I'd recommend starting from the Ubuntu openal sources, and running `uscan` in the package directory.  This will create a new source package with the new openal.20:10
ScottKYokoZar: I answered your wine question in the bug.20:34
steevpersia: is there a 1.12.854 sources somehow?20:36
persiaupstream.  All the packaged ones I know about got deleted.20:37
persiaBut like I said, it's one command to create a packaged 1.12.854 source.20:37
persiaJust download the current lucid source, and run `uscan` in the package directory.20:37
anotengAnybody care to enlighten me on why a precompiled binary in the source, installed with debian/install file gets corrupted? The size of the file is reduced from 2,7mb to 208 bytes? according to file, it's still a 32bit ELF binary though...20:38
persiaThis will download the upstream sources, and prepare a (separate) packaged directory with the udpated sources.20:38
persiaanoteng: dh_strip maybe?20:38
* anoteng reading manpage20:38
steevpersia: hot.  that is awesome20:40
ari-tczewwhile using command 'dch -i' output target is lucid - is it correct (instead of maverick)? my distro is lucid20:41
persiaari-tczew: In my experience, it defaults to the target of the distribution you're running.  You want maverick if you are trying to upload to maverick.20:41
imbrandonprecompiled binary in the source ? eww, why would you do that20:44
anotengpersia, adding export DEB_BUILD_OPTION="nostrip" to the top of the rules file should do the trick then right?20:44
anotengimbrandon, i know it's not a good thing, but upstream insists...20:44
imbrandoncant be put in te archive either iirc20:45
persiaanoteng: Something like that.20:45
imbrandonnot just "not a good thing" but like very very very very very bad in 99% cases ( unless you are bootstrapping a new compiler )20:46
anotengI know, I'm just trying to get the package working for know, then I'll make a policy compliant package later..20:46
ScottKimbrandon: If it's distributable, it could go in Multiverse.20:46
persiaanoteng: Under what license is this source?20:46
anotenggpl320:46
ScottKThen don't use the pre-compiled binary.20:47
imbrandonjust out of curiosity what software is it ?20:47
persiaanoteng: Typically GPL3 software can't be distributed in compliance with the license with precompiled binaries.20:47
anotengDamnVid, a python application.20:48
anotengok, maybe I'll try again to talk him out of it then..20:48
persiaanoteng: The only way I know that would make it possible would be to compile another copy of the precompiled binary at build time, do a bitwise comparison to ensure the created binary was the same artifact as the precompiled binary, and then fail the build if it wasn't.  Otherwise, you can't know that the sources you distribute create the binary you distribute, which is a requirement of GPLv3.20:49
imbrandonanoteng: what is the precompiled binary ? ffmpeg ?20:49
persiaNote that the original authors of software are *not* bound by these requirements, as they hold licenses other than those they offer to their users.20:49
anotengyes20:49
imbrandonanoteng: no no no no, dont include ffmpeg in the source, esp precompiled20:49
imbrandonno no no20:49
* imbrandon chants more20:49
anotengmkay... will drop it then. But the application has some paths hardcoded. Do I need to patch the source, or can I simply make links?20:51
imbrandonanoteng: is there a reason it cant link against the normal ffmpeg ?20:51
imbrandonanoteng: patch it20:51
imbrandonand repack the tarbal +dfsg if it has the ffmpeg binary in the upstream tar20:52
anotengI guess it's just to make life easier for the author, debugging etc.20:52

imbrandonis lucas's list fairly updated or is the one on qa.uw.o better ?21:11
ScottKari-tczew: In Bug 576592 you said that a sync was appropriate because all changes have been forwarded to Debian.  It would be appropriate if all changes have been incorporated in the Debian package you're asking to have sync'ed, just forwarding them isn't enough.  I suspect this is a language issue and that's what you meant.  Please clarify in the bug.21:13

ajmitchbut I don't know if there's anything we can do to change that, it only makes sense for these merges21:48
* hyperair chuckles21:49
ari-tczewajmitch: I did following: bzr branch lp ubuntu... then bzr-merge lp debian... then do changes necessary for merge sense then bzr add resolve commit... then push and request a merge. is it ok?21:50
persiaajmitch: There's a way to get LP to give you that (assuming the branches are imported as I think they are), but it takes something like 14 clicks (at least last time I tried, with different branches).  It's often easier/faster to generate locally.21:50
ajmitchari-tczew: I don't know, I'm still not familiar enouugh with it all ;)21:50
ajmitchafaik there are various tools like bzr merge-package, debcommit which we're to use21:51

ari-tczewI think that my merge is OK, but I'm waiting to response from mastermind of bzr21:52
ari-tczewmaybe geser?21:52
ajmitchit looks to be ok21:52
ari-tczewajmitch: do you will take it to sponsor? ;-D21:53
ajmitchthough when I click on the diff, I don't see the change in debian/ant.properties listed in the changelog21:53
ari-tczewajmitch: because diff which you saw is based on current ubuntu branch, so in current ubuntu's delta we have debian/ant.properties file21:54
ari-tczewI think that, maybe I'm wrong, so correct me21:55
ari-tczewdebdiffs are not hard like bzr :(21:55
ajmitchyeah, I think you're right there21:56
ajmitchthe general case for making packaging changes is that we want to see changes against the current ubuntu branch, it's only here that I want to see the diff against debian21:56
* ajmitch grabs branches to check21:56
ari-tczewajmitch: before doing a bzr merge, I'm doing merge based on debdiffs dsc dsc > .debdiff, then I'm applying debdiff to bzr branch21:58
ari-tczewso I got a debdiff, I can attach to bug, but I think that is beside the point21:58
ajmitchthat sort of defeats the purpose of trying to use branches21:59
ari-tczewhonestly I don't see a sense to merging bzr.22:02

ari-tczewpersia: yea bzr log, that's right!22:15
maxbThe merge looks fine to me, except that "Force java2 code generation" is a poor way to describe "Compile with Java 1.4 source and target version."22:15
maxbFurthermore, it would be useful to have some indication of whether using 1.4 is a higher or lower version that would be used by default, and when that ubuntu-local change could be dropped22:16
ari-tczewmaxb: is modeled on the antecedents22:16
maxbIt is part of the job of anyone doing a merge to look for opportunities to discard Ubuntu-specific changes where reasonable22:17

maxbari-tczew: So in summary, your branch is fine, you just need to provide the debdiff between the debian version and your branch, and explain that the launchpad diff in the merge proposal is the diff between the existing ubuntu version and your merge, not what the reviewers have assumed it to be22:26
persiaNo.22:27
persiaReally no.22:27
persiaIf one is going to use the bzr method, one should use it entirely, and do a merge-proposal.22:28
maxbpersia: There *is* a merge proposal22:28
ari-tczewmaxb: I don't believe.22:28
persiaThe sponsor should then *completely ignore* this merge proposal, and use bzr diff between the Ubuntu and Debian remote branches.22:28
persiaOr rather the *candidate* and Debian remote branches.22:29
ari-tczewthen I f|_|ck this due to too long work. don't have time for statistic22:29

maxbNo, because if debian then *do* make a dfsg2, dfsgubuntu1 is still greater than dfsg222:52
persiayeah, but it should have been +dfsg1-1 in the first place.22:53
persiaAnyway, lots of folks doing it wrong, repeatedly, and again.22:53
maxbIdeally yes, but the ubuntu numbering is the best approach consistent with the current versioning in debian22:53
persiaI won't disagree, although it violates our "best practice" recommendations (see prior note about wiki page)22:57
maxbbest practice?22:57
persiaYeah.  It's documented in several places that we're supposed to add "ubuntu1" when first diverging.22:58
persiaWhich is what dch does by default.22:58
persiaSo if you have "1.2.3+dfsg" as a native package, dch will give you "1.2.3+dfsgubuntu1"22:58
maxbThat is an orthogonal issue. This is not a native package22:59
persiaOnly kinda.22:59
maxbOnly completely22:59
maxbInteresting and painful issue you highlight on your wiki page, though, hinging on a very obscure detail of how versions are compared22:59
persiaSo, the first ubuntu1 was added to the upstream version: if we ignore the part after the "-", it's the same as updating a native package.22:59
persiamaxb: It's not as bad anymore, because Debian changed how NMUs work, but yeah.23:00
ari-tczewwhat about changes on upgrading jaunty -> lucid? can I drop it for maverick?23:01
persiaYou suggest the insertion of a "0" as being least bad, which might be true, but it's different than just adding "ubuntu1", which is the recommendation in the context which was presumably used as an analogue to determine the version to select.23:01
persiaIn practice, most folk repacking in Ubuntu just use an upstream version following the rules that Debian would, without much regard for how it syncs/merges23:02
* persia has a list of several hundred packages with the *same* apparent version, but different orig.tar.gzs23:02
persiaari-tczew: Depends on the nature of the change.  If it's still required for someone with an original jaunty install, no.23:03
persiaAny upgrade from jaunty would have been lucid at some point, so if that takes care of everything so that the next upgrade doesn't need it, it can be dropped.23:03
ari-tczewpersia: ok so I'll drop it, I thought so. thanks23:04
maxbThe 'append ubuntu1' recommendation is regarding packaging changes rather than repacks, and incorporates the assumption that most/all version strings end with a numeric component, or, if they don't, the likelyhood of a numeric component being appended is very slim23:04
fabounetHello !23:05
fabounetwe have some bugs-fixs for Cairo-Dock, and we'd like to see them integrated on Lucid.23:05
fabounetHere is the bug report on LP :23:05
fabounethttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo-dock-plug-ins/+bug/57664723:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 576647 in cairo-dock-plug-ins "Please update Cairo-Dock with the following patches" [Undecided,New]23:05
maxbThe additional zero in the repacked tarball version here is insurance against the possibility of a second debian repack being labelled dfsg2 or somesuch23:05
persiaari-tczew: I didn't say drop it.  I said investigate and test.23:05
persiafabounet: With lucid released, the process gets a lot more complicated.23:06
persia!sru23:06
ubottuStable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates23:06
persiafabounet: So, you need to show that a bug meets one of the SRU criteria, and provide test cases, etc.23:06
fabounetthey do :)23:06
persiaBased on the bug you show, I think you've a chance, but be aware it's complicated, and will need a lot of handling.23:06
fabounetwe have uploaded thepatches23:06
fabounetand give some indications on their critical level23:07
persiaRight, but you need to document the test cases, etc.23:07
persiaSee the procedure documentation.23:07
fabounetdo you have an example ?23:07
fabounetah, I see there are 2 examples23:08
fabounetso basically we just need to add a test case ?23:08
matttbeHello!23:09
matttbepersia: who can verify our modifications? SRU Verification team?23:09
persiamatttbe: They will review the code changes, yes.  The process is (quickly): 1) update the bug with justification, details, test case, etc. 2) get it uploaded, 3) hear from the SRU team and address their concerns, 4) undergo the verification process, 5) get the update released.23:12
persiaBut see the wiki page for details.23:12
matttbepersia: thank you for this explanation!23:12
fabounetthanks, I've added the test cases23:17
persiaOK.  Next is a minor nit: you want to target "lucid-proposed" instead of "lucid" for a proposed SRU.  If maverick weren't frozen, you'd want to target "maverick" first, and *then* lucid-proposed (have to fix the latest release first)23:19
persiaYou wanted to have described "ubuntu-sru" rather than "sru-verification" (so subscribe "ubuntu-sru" now)23:21
persiaAnd be sure to nominate for lucid.23:21
persias/described/subscribed/23:21
matttbepersia: thank you, ubuntu-sru has been subscribed but I don't understand what I've to do in order to update Lucid and Maverick versions23:23
matttbeshould I have to add a tag lucid-proposed?23:24
persiamaverick is frozen right now, so no need to worry about that.  Next week, you'll want to fix any bugs in maverick before they can be approved to be fixed in lucid.23:24
persiaNope, you want the "nominate for release" link.23:24
persiaand then nominate for lucid there.23:24
matttbeok, I see23:25
persiaHeh.  The test case description doesn't make it easy for the verification team.  Is there any way to construct some artifical data that will force a crash?23:25
matttbefor most of them, it's easy to do the verification23:26
fabounetI think it's easier to just read the patch, than trying to reproduce the bug ^^23:27
fabounetthe patches are indeed very straightforward23:28
persiaOK.  Be warned the verification team may have comments :)23:29
fabounetok thanks for the advice :)23:30
fabounetI'll take the time to explain them then23:30
persiaThe key is that some members of the verification team are just testers, and may not be good at reading code.23:31
matttbeSo we just have to wait now? :)23:31
persiaIf there's a clear test case, that makes it easier for them, so it's faster to get verified.23:31
fabounetok, well 2 bugs are definitely not easy to reproduce (actually I couldn't reproduce them myself, I just guessed the cause thanks to the different bug-reports soem users made)23:34
matttbebut for these two bugs, we've just added a new test for some special case (e.g. if the WM is launched after Cairo-Dock)23:35
ubuntujenkinshello I have a package that I have made using a dir2deb script that someone suggested (i did check it first). I would like these two commands as the last thing when the package is configured sudo texhash /usr/share/texmf-texlive' then updmap --enable Map ccicons.map . How/where would i add them to get them to run?23:37
ubuntujenkinsany suggestions welcome23:38
persiaubuntujenkins: http://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts23:41
ubuntujenkinsthanks persia I will get reading23:42
persiafabounet: matttbe: Looks like your bug is in a good state.  Now you just need a sponsor, so subscribe the sponsors team ("ubuntu-sponsors").23:44
=== nobawk|away is now known as nobawk
matttbepersia: thank you, I will do that23:44
persiaSomeone will upload, and then the SRU team will review, and then the verification team will verify, and then it will be published (or someone will comment along the way)23:44
ari-tczewwhen maverick will be open?23:45
ari-tczewI'm very impatient :P23:45
matttbeari-tczew: it's open :)23:46
matttbeari-tczew: http://uppix.net/9/9/0/0565c5d1be002bcfc7a10271afa3e.png23:46
ari-tczewmatttbe: are you sure? [00:24] <persia> maverick is frozen right now23:47
matttberepositories are open, I just have some updates like gcc23:48
matttbebut the upload is maybe frozen now23:49
matttbeI don't know23:49
maxbhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick23:49
maxbStatus:23:49
maxb    Pre-release Freeze23:49
persiaRight.  Frozen.23:49
persiaUpoads work, but aren't required to be publised before pushing SRUs.23:49
ari-tczewbefore pushing SRUs? I don't understand. I'm interested in merges and syncs23:51
maxbI don't think you need to even upload to maverick to do a SRU, until the archive opens23:51
micahgpersia: also pitti has said that -proposed can be pocket copied to maverick if nothing newer has been uploaded23:51
