[00:41] <slangasek> lamont: hmm, remind me why 'inet protocols = ipv4' is still the default in postfix? :)
[00:41] <lamont> because
[00:42] <lamont> any bug from lintian telling me that I'm not using quilt will cause me to go back to version 1.0 packaging
[00:42] <slangasek> huh?
[00:42] <lamont> sorry.  just reacting to ubotu
=== Lutin is now known as Guest62235
[00:43] <slangasek> ah
[00:44] <lamont> but then, hey, that's what lintian overrides are all about, right?
[00:44] <cjwatson> honestly?  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 much
[00:45] <slangasek> unless you want to use it for the bz2 support
[00:45] <slangasek> or the binary diff support
[00:45] <slangasek> :)
[00:45] <cjwatson> the exception is if you want to have binary files in the Debian delta, in which case a 3.0 format is useful
[00:45] <lamont> cjwatson: well, I got this really nicely worded bug asking me to switch to 3.0(quilt)
[00:45] <cjwatson> or that
[00:45] <lamont> which I promptly tagged wontfix, and then reconsidered
[00:45] <lamont> I have a vcs.  I don't need another vcs in the source package
[00:46] <cjwatson> I find them to be usefully complementary, but I guess I can't really be bothered to get into a religious debate. :-)
[00:47] <cjwatson> but 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 incomprehensible
[00:47] <lamont> I 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 things
[00:48] <cjwatson> uh
[00:48] <lamont> but 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] <cjwatson> so do I, and 3.0 (quilt) is the first patch-system format to give me that property
[00:48] <cjwatson> because I store the package with patches applied
[00:48] <lamont> that does have some potential
[00:49] <slangasek> lamont: so ipv4-only is just a 'because'?
[00:49] <lamont> I 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 point
[00:50] <lamont> slangasek: ipv6 is real.  people are using it.  I got tired of the complaints.
[00:50] <slangasek> that setting is going to cause an increasing amount of grief over the next couple of years :)
[00:50] <slangasek> whu?
[00:50] <slangasek> yes, ipv6 is real, and I am using it, which is why I'm asking about the default to *not* allow it in postfix
[00:50] <lamont> or are you saying ipv4-only is the current default?
[00:50] <slangasek> yes
[00:50] <lamont> oh, that's total crack
[00:50] <lamont> I should fix that
[00:50] <slangasek> which caused me to accidentally drop mail from Patty's laptop on the floor over the weekend when I reorganized the ipv4 network, oops
[00:51] <lamont> meh.  actually, ipv4-only is an upstream default.  I guess I get to poke wieste about it
[00:51] <slangasek> because I thought nothing cared about the ipv4 IP of that server anymore :)
[00:51] <cjwatson> quilt is certainly not exactly a brilliant vcs - I don't really think of it in that category
[00:51] <lamont> and lack of testing caused you marital grief?  ouch
[00:52] <slangasek> no, she's on percocet this week for wisdom tooth post-op
[00:52] <slangasek> so she's happy - I'm the one unhappy about unreliable mail ;)
[00:52] <lamont> cjwatson: 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 rebases
[00:52] <lamont> slangasek: when she's done being high, that's when you're in trouble... :-p
[00:53] <cjwatson> it's a patch queue, which is not quite the same as a VCS
[00:53] <lamont> cjwatson: except in how people used it
[00:53] <cjwatson> in particular it makes no pretence of being able to retrieve older versions of things (assuming you don't regard patches as static)
[00:53] <lamont> but yeah, it led to a kneejerk reaction to any sentence involving "patch system" or "quilt"
[00:54] <cjwatson> http://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 experiences
[00:54] <cjwatson> as a historic patch-system-hater
[00:54] <lamont> ah, 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 version
[00:54]  * 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] <lamont> at least in the then-time
[00:55] <slangasek> well, that's a special case
[00:55] <slangasek> :)
[00:55] <lamont> slangasek: special in the committed sense
[00:55] <slangasek> "you need to be GPL compliant and you're doing *what*?!"
[00:56] <cjwatson> (also, the most common complaint about quilt is answered by 'quilt shell'
[00:56] <cjwatson> )
[00:58]  * 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.
[01:00] <cjwatson> unpacking with patches unapplied was the reason I was a conscientious objector to patch systems. ;-)
[01:01] <cjwatson> I 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 compiled

[06:02] <LucidFox> If 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?
[06:03] <micahg> LucidFox: is it currently -XubuntuY?
[06:03] <LucidFox> yes - 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 dropped
[06:04] <micahg> LucidFox: so why does it need an ubuntu1 upload?
[06:04] <LucidFox> Because the Debian version is broken on Maverick as is
[06:04] <LucidFox> needs a patch for cairo 1.9.x
[06:06] <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] <micahg> LucidFox: ah, ok, so I would think it won't hurt to keep the changelog since we're keeping an Ubuntu change
[06:06] <LucidFox> micahg> But we aren't keeping the existing Ubuntu changes, only introducing a new one
[06:06] <LucidFox> The Ubuntu changes in -2ubuntu1 were merged upstream.
[06:07] <micahg> LucidFox: right, but as long as we're carrying any changes, why not keep the history in the changelog?

[09:08] <apw> i 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 only
[09:08] <cjwatson> ditto
[09:09] <apw> i also think its causing a flickering cursor over gnome-terminal and menu items after approx 1s of stationaryness
[09:09] <pitti> this is from the unclutter package, I think
[09:09] <pitti> it was added right before alpha-2
[09:09] <apw> pitti, hrm ... any idea if it has any configuration?
[09:10] <pitti> no, I never used it so far; I'm still on lucid
[09:10] <apw> as it seems to be turned on without my permission
[09:10]  * pitti redirects complaints seb128wards
[09:12] <cjwatson> for me it mostly causes a problem in evince, where it spikes CPU activity
[09:12] <cjwatson> which is bug 385034 I guess

[09:13] <pitti> hm, I'm on lucid, no unclutter, and the mouse cursor still disappears in gnome-terminal after some seconds
[09:13] <pitti> (which is good IMHO)
[09:13] <apw> cjwatson, confirmed ... killall unclutter sorts out the issue
[09:13] <pitti> but I'm not sure where I configured this
[09:13] <pitti> or _if_ I did
[09:13] <apw> right ... thats a default i think, but configurable.  unclutter is busted poo which is halving my battery life ... grrr
[09:13] <pitti> ah, it disappears as soon as I start typing in a terminal
[09:14] <pitti> apw: it might just have been an experiment; I think there were more complaints
[09:14]  * pitti summons seb128
[09:14] <cjwatson> adding -noevents to /etc/default/unclutter gets rid of the flicker
[09:14] <cjwatson> (EXTRA_OPTS)
[09:15] <apw> cjwatson, eah i see that mentioned in the bug ... hrm
[09:15] <apw> i want to know how to configure it, as turnign off my mouse cursor everywhere is new behaviour i may not want
[09:16] <cjwatson> man unclutter
[09:33] <apw> cjwatson, current install is utter garbage ... joy
[09:33] <apw> plymouth is triggering a kernel panic
[09:35] <cjwatson> apw: on mode switch?
[09:35] <cjwatson> or on something else?
[09:35] <apw> cjwatson, looks to be closing something, the framebuffer from the stack trace ... so perhaps when its quitting
[09:36] <apw> removing splash sorts it out
[09:36] <cjwatson> but kernel bug rather than X bug?
[09:36] <apw> cjwatson, yep kernel should never panic :)
[09:37] <cjwatson> ... that's what I thought
[09:37] <cjwatson> was it triggered by GRUB starting the kernel in graphics mode?
[09:37] <apw> cjwatson, no this is a vanilla grub
[09:39] <cjwatson> apw: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-July/030995.html
[09:39] <cjwatson> if it's 1.98+20100710-1ubuntu1, it may be starting in graphics mode by itself
[09:40] <apw> ahh i see, i susepct the issue is not grubs fault though.  the panic is pretty severe, using this mutex the one at 0, bang
[09:46] <pitti> seb128: good morning

[09:47] <seb128> like flickering and cpu use?
[09:47] <apw> seb128, i would describe it as wholy broken :/
[09:47] <apw> yep and eating my battery yes
[09:47] <pitti> seb128: at least in gnome-terminalaand gedit the mouse cursor already disappears when typing; this is on lucid without unclutter; shouldn't this be enough?

[09:48] <seb128> comment on this bug
[09:48] <pitti> will do
[09:48] <seb128> don't blame the messenger, I don't agree with the change but it was a sabdfl request
[09:48] <seb128> basically
[09:49] <apw> seb128, so is someone going to fix the fact it eats ones machine ?
[09:49] <cjwatson> I don't particularly care about the change as such, FWIW
[09:49] <cjwatson> it's only the implementation problems
[09:49] <apw> even if we ignore the fact its a rather gratuitous change without a graphical ticky to turn it off
[09:50] <seb128> apw, I guess we will either fix it or roll it out of the default installation
[09:50] <seb128> depending of the ressources we have to fix issues
[09:50] <seb128> but it's nice to have feedback and know about its issues to start
[09:50] <apw> well its a very severe effect, it halves my battery life
[09:50] <seb128> I can't confirm that
[09:50] <pitti> seb128: subscribed and commented, thanks for the pointer
[09:50] <apw> do you not see it on your maverick installs ?  which of course all your machines should be by now
[09:50] <seb128> pitti, you can install it on lucid btw
[09:50] <seb128> pitti, if you want to test
[09:51] <pitti> sure, but I'm actually quite happy as it is now
[09:51] <seb128> apw, no, my laptop and mini don't have that issue
[09:51] <pitti> I could install it to test flicker/battery life, sure
[09:51] <seb128> apw, they both are intel boxes though if that makes any difference
[09:51]  * apw wonders how that can be
[09:51] <apw> seb128, mini ?  mini 10v ?
[09:52] <seb128> yes
[09:52] <apw> seb128, on my mini10v i am seeing 500 wakeups per second with 100% occupancy of max MHZ, which all stops when i hit killall unclutter
[09:53] <seb128> well to be fair I don't watch battery use
[09:53] <seb128> and that box doesn't have a fan to tell you there is something eating cpu
[09:53] <seb128> but I don't notice flickering
[09:53] <apw> the flickering over gnome-terminal is impossible to miss.  i also see it on menu items after 1 sec
[09:53] <seb128> how do you see the wakeups?
[09:53] <apw> powertop
[09:53] <apw> it appears as rescheduling interrupts
[09:53] <seb128> well no flickering there
[09:54] <apw> do yo uhave the degfault config for unclutter?  -noevents is slated to fix it
[09:54] <cjwatson> seb128: I don't use gnome-terminal, but I noticed flickering in evince

[10:00] <seb128> we have unclutter on since before alpha2
[10:01] <seb128> I'm wondering if something triggered the issue for people who didn't have it before
[10:01] <seb128> I've no upgraded yet today so maybe it will start being buggy as well after updates ;-)

[15:15] <dholbach> ara: I hope you get a chance to work on your original problem now :-P
[15:20] <ara> dholbach, hehehe, first I need to see if their is such a bug reported in pbuilder and, if not, report it ;-P
[15:22] <jdstrand> micahg: fyi, I'm not on the ubuntu-sru team, but that bug is not formatted according to StableReleaseUpdates and therefore won't show up on their reports. perhaps I am missing something?
[15:22] <micahg> jdstrand: no, I thought we just need an ack for the ones that go through -security?
[15:23]  * micahg can format it
[15:23] <jdstrand> micahg: I have no context here. there isn't a formal policy for putting SRU material through -security. we did it in the past as an exception
[15:24] <jdstrand> micahg: if this is a regression caused by the recent tbird security update, we just fix it in -security

[15:24] <micahg> jdstrand: no, this was a problem in 3.0 release version

[15:25] <jdstrand> micahg: this is an upstream bug?
[15:25] <micahg> jdstrand: no, this is a bug in our wrapper script that I added for 3.0 in Lucid
[15:26] <jdstrand> micahg: so that sounds like a regular SRU then. is there a pending upstream security update that you are just trying to fix along the way?
[15:26] <micahg> jdstrand: yes, 3.0.6 next week
[15:27] <jdstrand> micahg: I see. I would either format the bug so that it ends up on their radar or ask a member of the ubuntu-sru directly

[18:37] <slangasek> ttx: regarding your change to samba-common.postinst - rather than throw a message telling users to copy the default smb.conf over when the file is missing, why not do this for the user?
=== fta_ is now known as fta
[18:46] <ttx> slangasek: ISTR someone raised a policy argument against that solution, lemme check the bug
[18:47] <slangasek> well, the policy argument is weak :)
[18:49] <ttx> slangasek: then I misunderstood you back then: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/312449/comments/6
[18:49] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 312449 in samba (Ubuntu) "samba-common fails to upgrade if smb.conf is deleted" [Wishlist,Fix released]
[18:50] <slangasek> ttx: or perhaps I'm being inconsistent!
[18:50] <ttx> slangasek: I wouldn't suggest anything like that :)
[18:55] <slangasek> ttx: 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...
[18:56] <slangasek> ttx: btw, is the comment accurate?  Does the install actually fail now, or does it just complete with a non-existent config?
[18:58] <slangasek> heh - it looks like 'start smbd' returns success, and then smbd dies afterwards :/

[19:29] <asid> hello 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)
[19:33] <Laney> asid: there are many many ideas on brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[19:35] <asid> thanks for the link......am looking at it .....if you guys have any idea for a project for ppl please give suggestion
[19:41] <ari-tczew> now on maverick, update-manager shows description instead package name. is it a bug or new feature?
[19:41] <sladen> asid: 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 specifications
[19:43] <ari-tczew> asid: I think that you can start with Ubuntu development - syncs, merges, security updates :)
[19:46] <asid> thanks 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 Ubuntu
