slangaseklamont: hmm, remind me why 'inet protocols = ipv4' is still the default in postfix? :)00:41
lamontbecause00:41
lamontany bug from lintian telling me that I'm not using quilt will cause me to go back to version 1.0 packaging00:42
slangasekhuh?00:42
lamontsorry.  just reacting to ubotu00:42
=== Lutin is now known as Guest62235
slangasekah00:43
lamontbut then, hey, that's what lintian overrides are all about, right?00:44
cjwatsonhonestly?  I think if you aren't actually making use of quilt, then for the most part it makes more sense to use 1.0 packaging; otherwise you're basically just doing 1.0 transliterated into 3.0 (quilt) and it doesn't really help all that much00:44
slangasekunless you want to use it for the bz2 support00:45
slangasekor the binary diff support00:45
slangasek:)00:45
cjwatsonthe exception is if you want to have binary files in the Debian delta, in which case a 3.0 format is useful00:45
lamontcjwatson: well, I got this really nicely worded bug asking me to switch to 3.0(quilt)00:45
cjwatsonor that00:45
lamontwhich I promptly tagged wontfix, and then reconsidered00:45
lamontI have a vcs.  I don't need another vcs in the source package00:45
cjwatsonI find them to be usefully complementary, but I guess I can't really be bothered to get into a religious debate. :-)00:46
cjwatsonbut briefly, the quilt approach lets me store evolving information about a logical patch (which may change over time) without having to rebase my history to death and render it incomprehensible00:47
lamontI like to have my source where I can bisect it, and do other useful diff-like things, without needing to delve through patch files to notice things00:47
cjwatsonuh00:48
lamontbut yeah, it's at least largely religious.  as long as you don't modify an older patch which patches files that are in later patches (that'd be a rebase of the parent branch, and that's just evil)00:48
cjwatsonso do I, and 3.0 (quilt) is the first patch-system format to give me that property00:48
cjwatsonbecause I store the package with patches applied00:48
lamontthat does have some potential00:48
slangaseklamont: so ipv4-only is just a 'because'?00:49
lamontI do admit that I interpreted "quilt" as that old piece of crap that implements about 1/2 of a 1980s VCS and (correctly) claims to be better than dpatch as its only selling point00:49
lamontslangasek: ipv6 is real.  people are using it.  I got tired of the complaints.00:50
slangasekthat setting is going to cause an increasing amount of grief over the next couple of years :)00:50
slangasekwhu?00:50
slangasekyes, ipv6 is real, and I am using it, which is why I'm asking about the default to *not* allow it in postfix00:50
lamontor are you saying ipv4-only is the current default?00:50
slangasekyes00:50
lamontoh, that's total crack00:50
lamontI should fix that00:50
slangasekwhich caused me to accidentally drop mail from Patty's laptop on the floor over the weekend when I reorganized the ipv4 network, oops00:50
lamontmeh.  actually, ipv4-only is an upstream default.  I guess I get to poke wieste about it00:51
slangasekbecause I thought nothing cared about the ipv4 IP of that server anymore :)00:51
cjwatsonquilt is certainly not exactly a brilliant vcs - I don't really think of it in that category00:51
lamontand lack of testing caused you marital grief?  ouch00:51
slangasekno, she's on percocet this week for wisdom tooth post-op00:52
slangasekso she's happy - I'm the one unhappy about unreliable mail ;)00:52
lamontcjwatson: the use model of dpatch that evolved into quilt was 100% around what basically amounts to a VCS.  and then I had a task of importing quilt/dpatch patches into SVN, and we discovered the pain that is gratuitous rebases00:52
lamontslangasek: when she's done being high, that's when you're in trouble... :-p00:52
cjwatsonit's a patch queue, which is not quite the same as a VCS00:53
lamontcjwatson: except in how people used it00:53
cjwatsonin particular it makes no pretence of being able to retrieve older versions of things (assuming you don't regard patches as static)00:53
lamontbut yeah, it led to a kneejerk reaction to any sentence involving "patch system" or "quilt"00:53
cjwatsonhttp://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/debian/2010-03-25-thoughts-on-3.0-quilt-format.html is a summary of my initial experiences00:54
cjwatsonas a historic patch-system-hater00:54
lamontah, added point: my pain was from the debian kernel package, which _did_ endeavor to do exactly that...every past verison of the package was recoverable from the current version00:54
* slangasek is reminded again that he needs to work on getting the patch delta down so he can move pam to 3.0 (quilt)00:54
lamontat least in the then-time00:54
slangasekwell, that's a special case00:55
slangasek:)00:55
lamontslangasek: special in the committed sense00:55
slangasek"you need to be GPL compliant and you're doing *what*?!"00:55
cjwatson(also, the most common complaint about quilt is answered by 'quilt shell'00:56
cjwatson)00:56
* ScottK is sure he'll get over it eventually, but unpacking with patches applied does not work at all well with his mental model of a package.00:58
cjwatsonunpacking with patches unapplied was the reason I was a conscientious objector to patch systems. ;-)01:00
cjwatsonI feel very strongly that users should not have to run funny commands (and run untrusted code from a package they just downloaded, often!) in order to see what code is going to be compiled01:01

flupkehello, what is the trick in ubuntu's alsa that makes flashplugin use pulse ? I'd like to keep this functionnality with the latest alsa drivers02:10
TheMusoflupke: As long as you don't remove/modify any files in /usr/share/alsa then it will continue to work./02:12
flupkeTheMuso, thanks for the info, alsa-lib sources do write files in /usr/share/alsa, I'll try to keep the ubuntu package that owns these files02:16
TheMusoflupke: Ok. The files in hte Ubuntu package have been modifed to load an extra file which checks to see if pulse is running. If pulse is running, then the default device is created that redirects alsa apps to pulse.02:18

LucidFoxIf I'm making an -Xubuntu1 upload, but not going to include any of the previous Ubuntu changes, do I need to include previous Ubuntu debian/changelog entries, or can I leave in just the Debian changes?06:02
micahgLucidFox: is it currently -XubuntuY?06:03
LucidFoxyes - to be more precise, it's pinta 0.3-2ubuntu1, and I'm going to upload 0.4+dfsg-1ubuntu1, which is -1 with a new patch, and the old Ubuntu changes merged upstream and dropped06:03
micahgLucidFox: so why does it need an ubuntu1 upload?06:04
LucidFoxBecause the Debian version is broken on Maverick as is06:04
LucidFoxneeds a patch for cairo 1.9.x06:04
LucidFox(for that matter, the current version in Maverick is broken too, but it wasn't discovered before Debian packaged a new release)06:06
micahgLucidFox: ah, ok, so I would think it won't hurt to keep the changelog since we're keeping an Ubuntu change06:06
LucidFoxmicahg> But we aren't keeping the existing Ubuntu changes, only introducing a new one06:06
LucidFoxThe Ubuntu changes in -2ubuntu1 were merged upstream.06:06
micahgLucidFox: right, but as long as we're carrying any changes, why not keep the history in the changelog?06:07

apwi have a recently upgraded maverick system in which the cursor is being turned off after approx 1s everywhere on the screen ... like it used to do inside an gnome-terminal only09:08
cjwatsonditto09:08
apwi also think its causing a flickering cursor over gnome-terminal and menu items after approx 1s of stationaryness09:09
pittithis is from the unclutter package, I think09:09
pittiit was added right before alpha-209:09
apwpitti, hrm ... any idea if it has any configuration?09:09
pittino, I never used it so far; I'm still on lucid09:10
apwas it seems to be turned on without my permission09:10

pittihm, I'm on lucid, no unclutter, and the mouse cursor still disappears in gnome-terminal after some seconds09:13
pitti(which is good IMHO)09:13
apwcjwatson, confirmed ... killall unclutter sorts out the issue09:13
pittibut I'm not sure where I configured this09:13
pittior _if_ I did09:13
apwright ... thats a default i think, but configurable.  unclutter is busted poo which is halving my battery life ... grrr09:13
pittiah, it disappears as soon as I start typing in a terminal09:13
pittiapw: it might just have been an experiment; I think there were more complaints09:14

cjwatsonapw: on mode switch?09:35
cjwatsonor on something else?09:35
apwcjwatson, looks to be closing something, the framebuffer from the stack trace ... so perhaps when its quitting09:35
apwremoving splash sorts it out09:36
cjwatsonbut kernel bug rather than X bug?09:36
apwcjwatson, yep kernel should never panic :)09:36
cjwatson... that's what I thought09:37
cjwatsonwas it triggered by GRUB starting the kernel in graphics mode?09:37
apwcjwatson, no this is a vanilla grub09:37
cjwatsonapw: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-July/030995.html09:39
cjwatsonif it's 1.98+20100710-1ubuntu1, it may be starting in graphics mode by itself09:39
apwahh i see, i susepct the issue is not grubs fault though.  the panic is pretty severe, using this mutex the one at 0, bang09:40
pittiseb128: good morning09:46
pittiseb128: cjwatson and apw have some problems with unclutter09:46

seb128don't blame the messenger, I don't agree with the change but it was a sabdfl request09:48
seb128basically09:48
apwseb128, so is someone going to fix the fact it eats ones machine ?09:49
cjwatsonI don't particularly care about the change as such, FWIW09:49
cjwatsonit's only the implementation problems09:49
apweven if we ignore the fact its a rather gratuitous change without a graphical ticky to turn it off09:49
seb128apw, I guess we will either fix it or roll it out of the default installation09:50
seb128depending of the ressources we have to fix issues09:50
seb128but it's nice to have feedback and know about its issues to start09:50
apwwell its a very severe effect, it halves my battery life09:50
seb128I can't confirm that09:50
pittiseb128: subscribed and commented, thanks for the pointer09:50
apwdo you not see it on your maverick installs ?  which of course all your machines should be by now09:50
seb128pitti, you can install it on lucid btw09:50
seb128pitti, if you want to test09:50
pittisure, but I'm actually quite happy as it is now09:51
seb128apw, no, my laptop and mini don't have that issue09:51
pittiI could install it to test flicker/battery life, sure09:51
seb128apw, they both are intel boxes though if that makes any difference09:51
* apw wonders how that can be09:51
apwseb128, mini ?  mini 10v ?09:51
seb128yes09:52
apwseb128, on my mini10v i am seeing 500 wakeups per second with 100% occupancy of max MHZ, which all stops when i hit killall unclutter09:52
seb128well to be fair I don't watch battery use09:53
seb128and that box doesn't have a fan to tell you there is something eating cpu09:53
seb128but I don't notice flickering09:53
apwthe flickering over gnome-terminal is impossible to miss.  i also see it on menu items after 1 sec09:53
seb128how do you see the wakeups?09:53

Riddellslangasek: that's what the comment says18:25

ttxslangasek: ISTR someone raised a policy argument against that solution, lemme check the bug18:46
slangasekwell, the policy argument is weak :)18:47
ttxslangasek: then I misunderstood you back then: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/312449/comments/618:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 312449 in samba (Ubuntu) "samba-common fails to upgrade if smb.conf is deleted" [Wishlist,Fix released]18:49
slangasekttx: or perhaps I'm being inconsistent!18:50
ttxslangasek: I wouldn't suggest anything like that :)18:50
slangasekttx: tried to dig up context for that comment from me and failed.  Policy does say that local changes to config files must be preserved during a package upgrade (Policy 10.7.3), but it's debatable whether nuking the config file and rendering the package uninstallable should count...18:55
slangasekttx: btw, is the comment accurate?  Does the install actually fail now, or does it just complete with a non-existent config?18:56
slangasekheh - it looks like 'start smbd' returns success, and then smbd dies afterwards :/18:58

asidhello me and my friends are 4 people in need of a project to work on, and all seem to suffer from ideas block.....we've have limited experience in using linux(but a few months time to familiarise with it) .....could you  guys suggest some ideas for  a project (perhaps a feature you want to implement in linux)19:29
Laneyasid: there are many many ideas on brainstorm.ubuntu.com19:33
asidthanks for the link......am looking at it .....if you guys have any idea for a project for ppl please give suggestion19:35
ari-tczewnow on maverick, update-manager shows description instead package name. is it a bug or new feature?19:41
sladenasid: thank you for your interest.  Work in Ubuntu is generally done either in response to fixing a bug report requiring the change ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs ), or planned via specifications19:41
ari-tczewasid: I think that you can start with Ubuntu development - syncs, merges, security updates :)19:43
asidthanks for replies.....well bug fixes really doesnt sound like an idea for a project...also we do not need it to be automatically incorporated into the next release of  Ubuntu, we just need  an idea for a  reasonably sized project to work on that could be useful in Ubuntu19:46
