RAOFIf you can't find one, file one.04:40
cutterjohnsorry, didn't see your initial response since I thought that I go autocensored04:41
RAOFNo, we rely on people to speak appropriately.04:41
cutterjohndoesn't happen ALL of the time, just enoughbt of the time to be INCREDIBLY annoying for an LTS release...04:42
RAOFIf you can track down the circumstances under which it happens, that would be very helpful on whatever bug you find/file.04:42
cutterjohnOK, better file a bug report since I just have no idea what to try to debugon my own since I'm not even touching VM half the time that it happens...04:43
RAOFYou might also want to try using the free drivers rather than fglrx to see if that's the culprit.04:43
cutterjohnor even anythign CPU or otherwise intensive04:43
cutterjohn(Personally I'm suspecting the ageold daemon, npviewer ATM)04:43
ajmitchsounds similar to something I've seen04:44
cutterjohnwhat GPU are you running and driver?04:45
ajmitchfglrx, again, with whatever was in lucid04:45
* ajmitch was going to file a bug about it after tracking down a bit more info04:46
cutterjohnthe OSS driver? or did you do the restricted(ctalyst) driver/04:47
cutterjohn(I had to dump the OSS driver as it's OGL support is WAY too liited)04:47
ajmitchfglrx is the restricted driver04:47
cutterjohn(er limited)04:47
cutterjohnhave you filed a bug report?  If so I'll just ... well... anecdotally add my exp as I've got nothing "hard" to add...04:48
ajmitchas I said, no I haven't yet :)04:49
cutterjohnah.. catalyst is the proper package name for the proprietary driver BTW04:50
cutterjohnfglrx is just a piece of it04:50
RAOFfglrx is the driver, though.04:50
cutterjohnyes, but it's only the base X11 driver there are other driver components beyond that04:50
RAOFRight.  There's a libgl.04:51
RAOFfglrx is what we call it, because that's the driver name.04:51
cutterjohnok, let's not argue over trivialities04:52
RAOFIndeed.04:52
cutterjohn(better to call it catlyst though IMNHO)04:52
RAOFEveryone should be able to pick up what you mean if you say “catalyst”; you'll just find us referring to it as fglrx.04:52
RAOFParticularly because that's what the package is called :)04:53
cutterjohnOK, anyways, I guess that I'll go fap lAUNCHPAD04:54
RAOFYeah.  That's where to find bugs!04:54
cutterjohn(er at launchpad)04:54
cutterjohngot nothing to detail ... but... maybe someone else will add something useful by chance04:54
cutterjohn(well other than crappy resume from suspend times...)04:55
cutterjohnbug reporting is doing its best to defeat me ATM05:01
cutterjohnweb UI is useless as are the directions for going through the gui...05:02
cutterjohn(since they dont apply)05:03
cutterjohnyay bug reports only apply for PIDs or packages... how entirely useful05:04
cutterjohn(I think that I'm at the wrong UI...)05:04
RAOFOr symptoms.05:05
ajmitchit's generally preferred to use the ubuntu-bug tool, since that automates much of the log attaching, etc05:05
cutterjohnyeah, I tried ubuntu-bug but it whines about no PID05:06
cutterjohnif run w/no arg05:07
cutterjohnand the web-UI has been totally screwed apparently05:07
cutterjohnit's a freaking adventure game with no solution05:08
cutterjohnubuntu-bug 0 complains about no PID 005:08
ubottuError: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: 0 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/0)05:08
cutterjohn(also I have NO log to attach)05:09
cutterjohn(no PID to assign it to)05:09
cutterjohn(just a general cockup)05:09
cutterjohn(that's variably repeatable... although with no discernable triggers)05:10
ajmitchif you believe it's kernel related, put it against the 'linux' package05:10
ajmitchmost suspecd/resume bugs are, though this one has a good chance of being fglrx05:10
cutterjohnI don't... my personal guess is npviewer... but I could be entirely wrong05:11
cutterjohnit could be nautilus or any of the other GNOME VFS daemons too...05:11
cutterjohnjust no idea05:11
cutterjohnjust LOTS of disk activity, but not much CPU usage05:11
cutterjohn(when I get to a GUI/terminal)05:12
ajmitchif it's t all like what I see, it seems to be very much vm-related05:12
cutterjohnsometimes I'm using 0 VM, sometimes a few 100mb no diff05:12
ajmitchiotop doesn't usually point to any one process that's hitting the disk a lot05:12
cutterjohnit can happen right after a fresh powerup05:13
cutterjohnor not05:13
cutterjohnit's one of THOSE bugs..05:13
cutterjohnno way to force it to happen that I know of and as far as I can see nothing obviously wrong05:14
cutterjohn(BTW: I've been doing lsof when I can get to a terminal nothign striking there either..)05:16
cutterjohn(as root)05:16
cutterjohnafk for a few minutes... then I'll deal with the bug "reporting" system again... been changed too much to discourage bug reports IMO better to be liberal in closing them than discouraging them05:18
RAOFcutterjohn: You know, if you run just “ubuntu-bug” it'll pop up a list of symptoms for you to chose from?05:21
RAOFI don't think that's new in Maverick.05:21

RAOFIt contains a crash fix required for GLX 1.3 (ie: Unity & clutter) before we can upgrade to Xserver 1.905:25
cutterjohnBAK05:27
cutterjohnRAOF Yes, I tried that and it bitched at me05:28
cutterjohnYou need to pick a package blah blah05:28
cutterjohnbut I've got no package to target... so...05:29
RAOFlinux05:29
cutterjohnactually it gives me no option to pick a package to begin with, just bitches about it05:29
cutterjohnif I pick other05:30
RAOFRight.  It wants you to run “ubuntu-bug linux”05:30
cutterjohnwow, how helpful of it05:31

sorenI'm putting some finishing touches on the first revision of some OpenStack packages. OpenStack does not require copyright assignment, so every single file may have lots of copyright holders, and almost no two files will have the same set of (copyright holder, year) tuples. Am I really supposed to repeat the copyright statements from every single source file in debian/copyright?10:08
diwicsoren, I'm afraid so10:11
sorenDoes anyone know off-hand of an example of such a monstrous debian/copyright. We're hardly the first project to not require copyright assignment, so there must be prior art to this.10:12

Damasceneany one could just install those things by him self14:17
rickspencer3Damascene, but you're talking about a terminal14:17
rickspencer3right?14:17
Damasceneyeah, do you question the important of terminal?14:17
rickspencer3no14:17
Damasceneso what is it?14:18
hallynrsalveti: ok - thx for the heads up, though I can't do merges myself at the moment.  I suspect kirkland will see it.14:18
kirklandhalfline: what am I looking at?14:18
rickspencer3Damascene,  I question the value of shipping and supporting 2 terminals to solve the case14:18
Damascenewe can't use ls, apt-get cat and many other terminal programs probably with vte14:19
Damasceneit's not that you are going to install it for every users14:19
rickspencer3the solution sounds rather complicated and hard to maintain when there is a work around as easy as installing a different terminal14:19
Damasceneonly the users who chose to localize their systems14:19
rickspencer3right14:19
rickspencer3I think if we were to invest in this it would make much more sense to make Gnome Terminal work14:20

Damascenerickspencer3,  all this have been discussed earlier14:21
hallynkirkland: ^14:21
Damascenerickspencer3, one of the main things was that vte is not going to be fixed any time soon while Mlterm is ready and it can just be a choice in Language Selector14:22
Damascenejust a choice14:22
rickspencer3that doesn't change my feedback14:22
Damasceneok, thanks for helping14:23
rickspencer3I'm not trying to be argumentative here, I'm just not convinced we've arrived at a good solution yet14:23
ArneGoetjerickspencer3: last thing I heard was that upstream is not interested in fixing vte for RTL language users, since it would be "too difficult to do so". So, who do you think can fix vte and in which time frame?14:23
rickspencer3 ArneGoetje I don't know14:24
ArneGoetjerickspencer3: well, mlterm is the _only_ terminal out there which supports RTL languages properly.14:24
rickspencer3so users who need it can install it14:24
rickspencer3my point is that the work around is not too hard, but the solution that has been proposed to avoid the work around seems overly complex and requires supporting another VT14:25
ArneGoetjerickspencer3: then that should be communicated better14:25
rickspencer3I'm communicating right now14:25
ArneGoetjerickspencer3: I mean to the RTL language users14:25
rickspencer3what specifically was not communicated?14:26
rickspencer3never mind, it's a moot point14:26
ArneGoetjerickspencer3: That mlterm is what they want as a terminal solution and how to get it14:26
rickspencer3so many many people choose alternate software, that's why we have Universe and that's why we have software-center14:27
Damascenerickspencer3, but you don't ship broken software and tell a user to search for a solution him self in a bug report suggesting using mlterm. It will be kind of you if you suggest that early when a user seeks for language support14:29
kirklandhallyn: ah, merging qemu ... personally, i'd say just wait for 0.13;  but if you're feeling motivated, you can do the new dot release14:29

hallynkirkland: that particular bug appears to be a papercut, so i'd say let's wait14:43
rsalvetilool: the patch basically kills the warning14:51
rsalvetiwas the upstream decision14:51
rsalvetihallyn: kirkland: will qemu be updated before A3?14:52
rsalvetithat's why I created the bug14:52
loolrsalveti: The initial patch implemented the syscall using libc; I think it's not acceptable14:53
rsalvetibecause I'm using qemu with rootstock, and without this patch my logs are huge, and I have to filter it to not show to the user14:53
loolrsalveti: I wonder why we didn't send a patch to use sys_pselect instead14:53
rsalvetilool: probably because no one worked on this14:53
loolrsalveti: I would recommend you don't merge a patch implementing the syscall if it's against upstream recommendation14:54
rsalvetiit should be an easy fix, but someone have to do it :-)14:54
loolrsalveti: did you plan to add a different patch which just skips the warning for this syscall?14:54
rsalvetilool: but this is my patch14:54
loolrsalveti: If you don't have the time yourself, you could ask Michael, he wrote the original one14:54

rsalvetilool: the patch that implements pselect was dropped from our package when was updated for 12.314:57
loolrsalveti: I'd love if you could review which patches were dropped14:58
loolrsalveti: I dont think it was a good change to remove all patches in there, without any warning (at least I didn't get one)14:58
rsalvetilool: well, this is the first I noticed, but I can review the others14:58
rsalvetibecause when I started apt-get I got a huge huge log14:59

sladenLucidFox: or if you have already enabled it, you can disable it by editing /etc/apt/sources.list17:16
LucidFoxBecause I feel disgusted about having this privilege that non-members don't have, and I'd rather be on the same terms as them here. And if Canonical can't do that by releasing the font publicly, then I want to have as little access to it as non-members have.17:16

LucidFoxthe wider issue?17:19
LucidFoxWhat wider issue? It's just me being weird :)17:20
sladenLucidFox: the first issue you've asked is "can I write to get my access to the private font PPA removed"17:20
sladenLucidFox: the second issue is "I feel disgusted about having this privilege that non-members don't have, and I'd rather be on the same terms as them here."17:21
sladenLucidFox: the first is a technical problem;  the second is a social issue and so much harder to fix, but it is good that you have raised it17:21
LucidFoxWell, I'm the only one I know who has issues with the social issue, so I don't see why it needs "fixing"17:22
sladenLucidFox: well, it's clearly upsetting you (which makes it worth fixing), but it's probably an indication that there are other people as well who might be upset.  (And here in Ubuntu we (you and I) both don't like having upset people)17:24
sladenLucidFox: so the first issue is to make you individually happy, and then to make lots more people happy17:24

pittiSpamapS: I won't generate 300 charts every day, we need an on-demand solution for that18:15
pittiSpamapS: I don't mind adding DB indexes if it helps, of course18:16
SpamapSpitti: I got it to generate a chart for ever user+milestone plus the usual teams/milestones in < 20 minutes on my macbook18:16
SpamapSpitti: the usual generation stuff runs in < 3 minutes18:16
pittiand without indexes?18:16
SpamapS90 minutes for all the users, 20 minutes for the usual stuff.18:16
pittiSpamapS: so as I said, if it improves performance, then I'm all for it18:17
pittiwow18:17
SpamapSthe chart generation stuff scans the work_items table because there's no index on status18:17
SpamapSIt would actually be totally doable on-demand..18:17
jiboumanspitti, doens't this run on people.c.c?18:18
SpamapSbut other than cron, do we have any way to run things on demand?18:18
pittiSpamapS: you need to add the CREATE INDEX when creating a db, as well as when upgrading a DB (and bump the format number); the code already handles that for a few other cases18:18
pittijiboumans: yes, it does18:18
jiboumanspitti: good, idle cpus then :)18:18
jiboumanspitti: i pointed spamaps at the right spots for that fwiw18:19
SpamapSpitti: Right so, essentially I'd be speeding things up by a about 4x, and then slowing them down again by about 4x by generating everybody's page/graph. ;)18:20
jiboumansi believe spamaps is offering a package deal ;)18:20
SpamapSThats without filtering any users out though... MANY of them are basically empty18:20
pittiwould it perhaps be enough to just generate the reports, not the charts?18:21
SpamapSpitti: the charts are the hotness though. :)18:21

pittioh, let's try it18:24
jiboumanswe think it'll really help wiht our productivity. if anyone else can benefit from it, that's great18:24
SpamapSpitti: one thing I was thinking with the trend line was to tie it to the first DONE item in a chart, rather than the first day of the cycle... because yeah, it definitely looks wrong for most users.18:24
pittiif the indexes are the biggest slowdown, then it sounds like a fair trade18:25
pittiSpamapS: on the charts/teams I looked at so far we very often had DONE items before the cycle even starts18:25

mathiazcr3: ie delete the merge proposal? Thanks21:11
mathiazSpamapS: what's the state on https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/maverick/cloud-init/glusterfs-mount-example/+merge/29490?21:11
FenzikI'm new here, wish to contribute21:14
FenzikCan someone provide some assistance to kick start21:15
cr3mathiaz: I'd really like to have the merge proposal approved one day though, it's just a question of updating the bugs accordingly21:43
mathiazcr3: hm - ok21:44
cr3mathiaz: I'm not particularly pleased with the situation myself :(21:44
mathiazcr3: I'll probably keep poking at you on a weekly basis as long as it shows up on https://code.launchpad.net/~mathiaz/+activereviews21:44
cr3mathiaz: ADD - Annoyance Driven Development, that actually works well for me21:46

judgenIs this the place to ask for a update for a package?22:37
judgenThere is a several years older version on the repos than the current version of AmiWM, and i was wondering if this tiny wm could be updated in the repos?22:38
judgenthe lucid repos that is, i do not know if the current version is in maverick22:40
micahgjudgen: we sync from debian and are up to date w/debian, it would probably be better to request an update in Debian and then request a sync to Ubuntu22:41
micahgjudgen: that package has no Ubuntu changes22:41
judgenoh, ok..22:42
judgenthanks.22:42
micahgjudgen: you can use reportbug -B debian amiwm to request the update22:43
SpamapSmathiaz: Scott merged that one manually I think22:43
mathiazSpamapS: I don't think so - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/files/head%3A/doc/examples/22:45
mathiazSpamapS: and https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/cloud-init/glusterfs-mount-example/+merge/2951522:45
mathiazSpamapS: I don't see any file related to glusterfs in cloud-init trunk branch22:46
SpamapSmathiaz: :(22:46
mathiazSpamapS: as there is another merge proposal for the upstream project, I'm going to delete https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/maverick/cloud-init/glusterfs-mount-example/+merge/2949022:47
SpamapSyeah thats probably appropriate22:48
SpamapSmathiaz: as far as libdbi, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=56556222:49
ubottuDebian bug 565562 in libdbi "libdbi: new upstream version available" [Wishlist,Open]22:49
mathiazSpamapS: hm - not sure you've attached the correct patch22:51
mathiazSpamapS: it seems that the attachement to the bug is way to big22:52
SpamapSmathiaz: looks like it may have the binaries or something22:53
mathiazSpamapS: yeah - I'd suggest to file a new bug22:53
SpamapSthats what I get for using 'submittodebian' and blindly trusting it. ;)22:53
mathiazSpamapS: to fix the specific issue22:53
mathiazSpamapS: AFAICT the docbook change is not necessary22:53
mathiazSpamapS: so that leave the debian/rules change22:53
SpamapSmathiaz: it fails building on my pbuilder w/o it22:54
mathiazSpamapS: hm - do you have the error message somewhere?22:54
mathiazSpamapS: it might be an issue with your pbuilder setup22:54
SpamapSmathiaz: It was a missing template... otherws with that error solved it by installing docbook explicitly22:55
SpamapSmathiaz: while we're chatting about this, when is the last time manual syncs from debian can be requested?22:56
mathiazSpamapS: this is the sbuild log: http://people.canonical.com/~mathiaz/libdbi_0.8.3-0ubuntu1-amd64-20100728-163022:57
mathiazSpamapS: docbook is automatically pulled in22:57
mathiazSpamapS: till the very end22:57
mathiazSpamapS: once we're passed FeatureFreeze a FeatureFreezeException will be required22:57
mathiazSpamapS: currently DebianImportFreeze is in effect which means that packages are no longer *automatically* synced22:58
mathiazSpamapS: instead a manual sync needs to be filled22:58
mathiazSpamapS: once FeatureFreeze is in effect, the Sync request will require a FeatureFreezeException as well22:58
SpamapSUgh.. why did config.guess and config.sub get deleted?! :-/22:59
SpamapSmathiaz: ok so new packages for ceph would be a bad reason for feature freeze exception, but updated libdbi to make main package rrdtool work is a good reason for an exception... right?23:00
=== sconklin is now known as sconklin-gone
mathiazSpamapS: ceph: yes-- - given that it's part of a blueprint getting a FeatureFreeze Exception is possible23:01
mathiazSpamapS: especially if the release team is aware of it early enough (ie before FeatureFreeze)23:02
mathiazSpamapS: libdbi: to fix an FTBS it would be possible23:02
mathiazSpamapS: however a new upstream version would require a FeatureFreeze Exception anyway23:02
mathiazSpamapS: again the FeatureFreeze Exception could be granted based on the fact that it fixes a FTBS23:03
SpamapSit builds23:03
mathiazSpamapS: oh right - it's about moving it to main23:03
mathiazSpamapS: ?23:03
SpamapSbut rrdtool's dbi support crashes using 0.8.223:03
mathiazSpamapS: is the rest of rrdtool working correctly?23:04
SpamapSsomething I'm realizing more and more should be reported as a bug23:04
SpamapSYeah the rest works fine23:04
mathiazSpamapS: Given that we're getting closer to FF I wouldn't wait for Debian23:04
SpamapSI think libdbi can move to main as 0.8.2 .. but it would be better to move it as 0.8.323:04
mathiazSpamapS: I'd just upload everything relevant to Ubuntu23:04
mathiazSpamapS: and file relevant bugs in Debian23:04
mathiazSpamapS: with the hope that things will be picked up by the time we open the next release cycle23:05
mathiazSpamapS: and we can sync from Debian again23:05
SpamapSceph is going in this week, but the debian dev that is uploading it isn't confident that it will pass the new queue because of debconf23:05
mathiazSpamapS: we're not in FeatureFreeze yet - so we can still update to new upstream version23:05
mathiazSpamapS: I need to jet out for a few - I'll be back23:06
SpamapSmathiaz: thanks for the reviews and such.. ttyl23:06
corecodehey23:25
corecodewhat's the best practise to maintain local modifcations to packages?23:26
mathiazSpamapS: for ceph I would suggest to use the  PartnerUploadDeadline23:26
mathiazSpamapS: which is tomorrow23:26
SpamapScorecode: what do you mean by "local modifications to packages" ?23:26
corecodejust using apt-get source will give me a complete new set23:26
mathiazSpamapS: so if ceph doesn't get through NEW by  PartnerUploadDeadline, I'd upload to Ubuntu23:26
mathiazSpamapS: so that it gets in time for FeatureFreeze23:26
corecodeSpamapS: i have modified an alsa driver to support my soundcard23:27
corecodeSpamapS: i'm using the backports-modules-alsa package for that23:27
mathiazSpamapS: for libdbi updating to the new upstream release should be done before FF23:27
SpamapSmathiaz: fairly certain ceph will not make it through NEW by tomorrow.23:27
mathiazcorecode: I'd look at PPA23:27
corecodebut now with the 2.6.32-24 kernel i need to pull my changes into the new sources23:27
SpamapSmathiaz: it may not even be uploaded by tomorrow.23:27
corecodemathiaz: the problem is less the hosting or building23:27
mathiazcorecode: so what's the issue you're running into?23:28
corecodemathiaz: but a way to merge my local changes with the changes coming from ubuntu23:28
mathiazSpamapS: ah ok - so I'd upload ceph to ubuntu (ie seek sponsorship)23:28
mathiazcorecode: I'd suggest to maintain a bzr branch23:28
mathiazcorecode: ie bzr branch lp:ubuntu/disto-release/backports-modules-alsa23:29
mathiazcorecode: and put your changes in your bzr branch23:29
corecodeah so every package has its own bzr repo?23:29
mathiazcorecode: yes23:29
corecodehow do i find this repo?23:29
mathiazcorecode: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/NAME-OF-THE-SOURCE-PACKAGE23:30
SpamapSmathiaz: http://ceph.newdream.net/testing/0.21/ceph_0.21-1.dsc23:30
SpamapSmathiaz: its a native package23:30
mathiazSpamapS: is there a PPA wich already has this package available for maverick?23:31
SpamapSmathiaz: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=50604023:31
ubottuDebian bug 506040 in wnpp "ITP: ceph -- a distributed filesystem" [Wishlist,Open]23:31
SpamapSmathiaz: Hm I suppose that warrants actually creating a PPA just for it23:32
mathiazSpamapS: yeah - the goal is to make sure that it builds correctly on Ubuntu maverick23:33
mathiazSpamapS: the version number of the package should also be changed - 0.21-0ubuntu123:33
mathiazSpamapS: if the package builds in the PPA and everything is correct we should be able to just copy it to the main ubuntu archive23:34
corecodemathiaz: thanks!23:34
mathiazSpamapS: could you mark the status of this branch as abandoned? https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/maverick/cloud-init/glusterfs-mount-example23:35
SpamapSmathiaz: done23:39
SpamapSmathiaz: I've uploaded the ceph package here https://launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+archive/ceph (waiting for acceptance email) ...23:40
mathiazSpamapS: cool - I'll look at it23:41
SpamapSmathiaz: I'll also submit a patch to build lintian clean back to Sage .. would be cool if we can upload his package untouched tough23:44
