jonohey all03:33
jonoI am thinking of upgrading to Maverick, how stable is it right now?03:33
ionI still have to run the Lucid kernel for fglrx and vuze stopped working since a Gtk change (apparently related to RGBA), but i haven’t had problems other than that. :-Pppppp03:35
jonocool03:35
ion:-P even. (The keyboard battery is dying.)03:35
jonothanks!03:35
ionBasically, i’m imposing problems on myself by running proprietary crap and Java crap. ;-)03:37

RAOFjono: Maverick's tracking pretty nicely here.03:38
jonoawesome, thanks RAOF03:38
jonokicking off the upgrade now :)03:38
psusiI can't wait for the new lvm2 to get packaged and hit maverick... support for snapshot merging, so you can make a snapshot, update, and if things break, revert by merging the snapshot back into the origin03:41
ionpsusi: I take it user data that must not be reverted along has to reside on a separate partition?03:47
ionI guess it would be the filesystem’s job to provide partial snapshots and reverting.03:47
ionbtrfs? :-)03:47
psusiion, yes, obviously a revert is for everything on the fs, but should not be a problem if you are just testing an upgrade to make sure it still boots and a few cursory checks of applications that still work before you decide to delete the snapshot or revert to it03:51

tseliotwhat's up?11:42
tseliotheh11:42
dmarthi there11:42
tseliothi11:42
dmartI have a weird ARM platform configuration with a rather old kernel11:42
dmartmost stuff works, but there are some udev problems, and X does not detect input devices properly11:43
dmartCould you take a look at a log?11:43
tseliotsure but can you also tell me what kind of input devices you're talking about? Mice?11:44
dmartkeyboard and mouse in this case, over USB11:44
tseliotok, don't they work at all?11:44
dmartThey don't appear to.  I do have /dev/input/{mice,input*}, and catting them produces data when I type / wiggle11:45
tseliotok, I'll need a dmesg and a /var/log/Xorg.0.log11:45
tseliotah11:45
hrwdmart: use evtest for testing input devices rather then cat11:48

dmartUnfortunately I don't have the platform running right now, but I can get dmesg output later if you need.11:52
tseliotok11:52
dmartWhat's weird is that X detects stuff, be then doesn't use the evdev driver:11:53
dmartconfig/udev: Adding input device USB keyboard (/dev/event1)11:53
dmart(II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)11:53
dmartBut the driver is definitely in the fs ...11:53
* ogra wonders if your kernel has CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV set11:55
dmartogra: I thought of that, but it's definitely supported11:56
tseliotcan you also try to get a backtrace, please?11:56
dmartYou don't get /dev/input/event* otherwise11:56
ograalso it seems strage that xorg picks /dev/event1 instead of /dev/input/event111:56
tseliotgood point11:57
dmarttseliot: I can try--- note that server reset or shutdown always segfaults on ARM right now.  I don't think we're seeing any other crash here--- X runs until it is shut down11:57
tseliotdmart: ah, ok11:58
dmartogra: good spot... I move the input devices into /dev/input because udev is confused by the old kernel and puts them straight in /dev, maybe I shouldn't11:58
ogranot sure11:58
tseliotwhat kernel is that?11:58
dmartI still get similar X input problems even if the device nodes aren't moved... but I could try and get a log11:58
dmart2.6.29 unfortunately... and hard to upgrade in this case11:59
ograhow about usbfs and friends ?11:59
ograiirc we stopped supporting the old style usbfs a while ago11:59
dmartdunno... do you mean something that ought to be mounted is not?11:59
ograno, a missing kernel option rather11:59
dmartNote that I have lucid Xorg working even on 2.6.2611:59
ograiirc i had probs when some deprecated USB options were set in a test kernel i built recently12:00
* ogra cant remmeber which though and the kernel is fixed now12:00
dmarthmmm... might be worth a check12:00
dmarttseliot, ogra: well, I think I have some next things to try now... I'll come back when I know more12:01
ograand iirc udev has issues with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V212:01
ogranot sure that affects the input layer though12:01
dmartogra: oh yes :)  But Xorg still works!  (I'm as surprised by this as anyone...)12:02
tseliotdmart: if udev catches the device and applies the settings for the mouse you should get something like:12:03

tkamppeterpitti, I have done a small change on the CUPS startup script for bug 369850. I let it also load the parport_pc module in addition to lp and ppdev. This is a nice minimum-invasive solution for a Lucid SRU.17:36

tkamppeterpitti, something that assures that CUPS gets loaded on boot17:40
pittitkamppeter: we'd load that module on every platform, which would just be a waste for 99% of people out there, though17:40
tkamppeterpitti, and in the CUPS init script we should add something which restarts Samba if Samba is already running as in Lucid we have the perfect race condition, Samba started by native Upstart and CUPS by System V scripts.17:48
tkamppeterpitti, for Maverick we should move to an Upstart job for CUPS.17:48

pittibut it seems for lucid we should rather fix samba's upstart job instead of restarting it17:49
tkamppeterpitti, what is your fix suggestion? Should the upstart job simply get a loop added which waits until the CUPS daemon is up and running (check with "lpstat -r")? Or should the Samba Upstart job start CUPS if it is not yet running and only after that start Samba?17:51
pittinonono17:51
pittisamba should just wait on cups17:51
pittiI suggest to discuss that with Keybuk, he asked to get consulted for upstart job fixes17:52
pittitkamppeter: cups' init script could emit a "cups-started" event which samba can wait for; it just needs to handle the case when cups is not started or installed at all17:52
tkamppeterpitti, here the Samba upstart script would need to check somehow whether CUPS is installed and configured for being started on boot.17:54
pittiright, that's the bit which should be discussed with Keybuk; I do not have enough experience with upstart scripts for a tricky thing like that, I'm afraid17:55
tkamppeterpitti, but the biggest problem to be SRUed is that CUPS need to start reliably on boot for every user, bug 554172.17:57

SpamapSQuestion: I'm working on merging the 'moin' package, which has a delta because the debian verison is dependent on some stuff in universe but moin itself is in main... should we just keep maintaining this delta or try to MIR the packages? They were removed because the dependency was added really close to LTS release.18:05
tkamppeterpitti, for me it also looks like an upstart problem, I have already tried to move the bug to upstart, but it got promptly moved back to cups, by slangasek.18:06

zulSpamapS: MIR18:08
tkamppeterpitti, in bug 524186, comment #2, a simple approach of native upstart support for CUPS is tested, but only run-level based, so only half-native upstart. This approach still leaves many users without CUPS as under upstart their runlevel stays "unknown".18:08

tkamppeterpitti, this would mean that for that users all legacy System V scripts would not start.18:09
pittiright, what I suspected; there might be a problem with a broken lo device, or whatnot18:09
SpamapSzul: I believe, sir, that I will owe you an entire case of Gambrinus 12° by the time we get to Prague18:10
zulSpamapS: sooner preferably ;)18:10
tkamppeterpitti, legacy System V support is started on the "filesystem" event (successfully concluded "mountall") AND on "lo" being up and running.18:11
tkamppeterpitti, so it can also be a mountall problem.18:11
slangasektkamppeter: I reassigned it back to cups because there was zero evidence in that bug report that upstart was failing to run the init scripts, and the original submitter said the problem was fixed for him by reinstalling the cups packages - which has nothing to do with upstart18:12
tkamppeterslangasek, pitti, later on other posters told that reinstall of CUPS only helped once and later boots failed and also other legacy System V scripts and not only CUPS did not start.18:13
tkamppeterslangasek, the real fix would be to move all services to native upstart, but this is too invasive for a Lucid SRU. And in addition, legacy System V support needs to work reliably in upstart, to support third-party packages containing services. AFAIK the LSB requires System V init script support.18:16
tkamppeterpitti ^^18:16
slangasektkamppeter: then that poster may have a different bug, probably a broken configuration; I don't think that's sufficient to treat the whole bug as an "upstart problem".18:16
slangasekthis needs debugged as a cups bug first instead of jumping to the conclusion that upstart is broken18:17
slangasekbecause upstart *does* run the sysvinit scripts reliably, unless something else is broken on the system18:17
tkamppeterslangasek, pitti, we have again an example of the big problem of all bug tracking systems: Users post into the same bug if they have the same symptoms but different bugs (happens very often on the printing side). One should have the possibility to move single comments and attachments from one bug to another (like one can do in web forum systems).18:19
slangasektkamppeter: "especially as users have the same problem with other services than CUPS" -- what users where?  I don't see any mention of problems with other init scripts18:19
slangasekoh, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/554172/comments/41 mentions vboxdrv, ok18:19
ubottuUbuntu bug 554172 in cups (Ubuntu) "cups not starting at boot" [Medium,Confirmed]18:19
slangasekbut again, no evidence that his bug is the same as the others18:19
tkamppeterslangasek, pitti: You mentioned it already, comment #41.18:20
tkamppeterslangasek, pitti, is there any debug logging facility in upstart, so that users can get a log showing what upstart is actually doing?18:22
slangasektkamppeter: boot with --verbose, post /var/log/boot.log: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto18:25
tkamppeterslangasek, pitti, comment #47 has a list attached with all services which do not get started on a boot where CUPS did not get started.18:25

slangasektkamppeter: if you want to convert that into text files for me, I'll be happy to review it18:40
slangasekbut it's probably better to get the poster to just send us the text output in the first place18:41
slangasekinstead of working from something that's been manually munged twice18:41
tkamppeterslangasek, so I will ask him to post the information inline into the bug report, so that the reader does not need anything but his browser.18:43
nemogetting help elsewhere finding 'em. thanks anyway18:44
slangasektkamppeter: no, not inline, text attachments.  I need something I can sensibly *diff*18:46
tkamppeterslangasek, sorry, will do a second approach of instructions ...18:50
tkamppeterslangasek, I asked him now to reboot repeatedly, to see how much relationships between CUPS not starting and other services not starting depend on each other.18:56

SpamapSjames_w: right, sorry just saw your help finding that MIR.. yes..libapache2-mod-wsge was one of the 4 that need to happen for moin to drop most of its delta.20:02
SpamapSjames_w: which brings me to my next question..20:02
james_wSpamapS: ah, sorry, I didn't realise there was more than one20:02
SpamapSat some point python-xml was even dropped from universe for some reason.. but it is still in debian..20:02
SpamapSanyway, python-xml is suggested by the debian package.. but removed from the ubuntu package .. which at this point will be the final bit of delta we have to maintain.. if we found it worthwhile to drop python-xml .. could we also push for debian to drop it? Really I'm trying to find the rationale for dropping/blocking python-xml20:04

james_wplus there are cases like this where because there is no effect it's not worth diverging from Debian over it20:13
