[00:00] <ebroder> Yeah, I saw that, too
[00:01] <ion> Loading all the stuff needed for a graphical plymouth before ureadahead does its thing would defeat the purpose of ureadahead, but printing a line of text wouldn’t.
[00:01] <jdong> "Loading loading screen...."
[00:01] <jdong> :)
[00:01] <jdong> is that like Windows 7's "calculating time remaining"?
[00:01] <ebroder> If I'm basically trying to create a livecd rootfs with the nvidia drivers baked in, what do I need to do? Install nvidia-current, drop in an xorg.conf, anything else?
[00:02] <ion> Plymouth’s purpose is not a loading screen. It’s multiplexing interaction between the user and startup programs.
[00:03] <cjwatson> well, plymouth yes, plymouth-splash not necessarily
[00:03] <cjwatson> I suspect we are in agreement from different directions, though
[00:09] <jdong> ion: sure, but given that it also functions as a loading screen, it looks a little bit confusing
=== bjf is now known as bjf[afk]
[00:09] <jdong> ion: especially on machines with poor IO performance
[00:10] <ion> Yes, a dozen seconds of black screen isn’t optimal.
[00:11] <lilmonsta> hello all , apolagies for asking but is the 10.04.1 release still due today?   would it be the daily iso listed as 16.1?
[00:12] <ion> We should do what Windows™ does: drop the readahead stuff, generate (and keep updating) a model of disk usage patterns and use idle time to reorder disk blocks for optimal startup times. :-P
[00:13] <jdong> ion: theirs also includes a readaheader
[00:14] <ion> ok
[00:14] <jdong> it does some interesting throttling stuff though to minimize the devastation if the readahead info is really wrong (tm)
[00:14] <jdong> like for us, if you put 5000 random files in the readahead pack, your boot performance will really tank :)
[00:14] <jdong> (on HDD)
[00:15] <penguin42> (I was thinking Maverick is currently feeling slower at boot than lucid - but I haven't timed it)
[00:15] <jdong> my two Maverick machines at work here are reiser4 and btrfs
[00:15] <jdong> one doesn't support readahead, the other is slower than NFS to asia.
[00:15] <ebroder> Oww. You must not like your data
[00:15] <jdong> thanks to 2.6.35
[00:16] <jdong> haha experimental setup :)
[00:16]  * ajmitch thought all your setups were experimental
[00:16] <jdong> it is kind of a shame that it takes 7 hours 30 minutes to install from the alternate CD on btrfs in Maverick
[00:16] <jdong> wonder if we want to roll back that commit for ubuntu-maverick.git
[00:17] <RAOF> It's more of a shame that installing 80 updates takes 2 hours on btrfs.

[00:17] <jdong> that thing
[00:17] <RAOF> jdong: I got pissed enough to take an image (as it seems by btrfs partition is interestingly broken) and reformat to ext4
[00:18] <jdong> HAHAHA
[00:18] <jdong> ok that works too!
[00:18] <ion> Meh. I’m counting days until Oracle drops the btrfs project and instantly starts suing everyone using/developing/distributing it for infringing on their Imaginary Property. :-P
[00:18] <jdong> ion: well brtfs probably does violate the crap out of the ZFS patent portfolio

[00:33] <RAOF> Aaah, ext4.  < 10 minutes to download and install 300 packages.
[00:34] <slangasek> wait, are you extolling ext4 because of how fast dpkg runs on it?
[00:35] <jdong> haha.
[00:36] <RAOF> slangasek: In comparison to how dpkg runs on *btrfs*, that's practically negative time :)
[00:37] <slangasek> interesting
[00:37] <RAOF> (at least in maverick)
[00:37] <lifeless> RAOF: good or bad on btrsfs?
[00:37] <RAOF> lifeless: Terrible on btrfs.
[00:37] <lifeless> let me guess
[00:37] <lifeless> fsync?
[00:37] <RAOF> On the order of 2 hours to install 80 already downloaded updates
[00:38] <RAOF> I'm not sure that it is fsync, actually, although my libeatmydata testing wasn't particularly rigourous.
[00:38] <lifeless> ok
[00:38] <lifeless> any ideas?
[00:38] <lifeless> and does eatmydata take care of the fsync variants ?
[00:38] <RAOF> jdong's already posted a link to the patch (series?) which causes a ~10x regression in write-heavy loads that's in Maverick
[00:39] <lifeless> (sync, fsyncdir)
[00:39] <RAOF> I think libeatmydata does, yes.
[00:39] <RAOF> There's an LP bug about this, too.
[00:42] <jdong> lifeless: and no, eatmydata doesn't take care of the btrfs thing. It has to do with delayed allocation not truly delaying allocation, forcing way more tree operations than needed
[00:42] <lifeless> jdong: thanks

[08:54] <Sarvatt> phew, thanks tjaalton!
[08:57] <tjaalton> this is weird, mounting Maple14 cdrom doesn't work otherwise but manually
[08:57] <tjaalton> both on lucid & maverick
[09:11] <soren> tjaalton: The maple cdroms are rather special, irrc.
[09:11] <soren> iirc, even.
[09:11] <soren> tjaalton: I believe it will look different depending on whether you mount it from linux, windows or mac.
[09:12] <soren> tjaalton: ...and it'll look different depending on whether you mount the iso like you normally would or if you look at it through one of the userspace tools to inspect iso's.
[09:13] <soren> tjaalton: In short, I'm not surprised some things act up. They shouldn't, but I'm not surprised :)
[09:15] <tjaalton> soren: ah, could be like that yes
[09:16] <tjaalton> well, whatever tries to automount them should be fixed to support those I suppose :)

[09:31] <soren> tjaalton: No idea.

[11:17] <theclaw> hi
[11:18] <theclaw> how do I have to mark config files so that when installing the package, I will get asked whether I want to overwrite the config?
[11:19] <theclaw> I already tried putting the configs in 'conffiles'
[11:21] <cjwatson> just install them somewhere under /etc, and use debhelper compat level 3 or above (usually 7 these days)
[11:21] <cjwatson> with even remotely modern debhelper you don't need to fiddle with conffiles by hand
[11:21] <cjwatson> it will only prompt you if there are some local changes versus the distributed copy
[11:22] <theclaw> yes, I have local changes. Maybe I'm using an outdated debhelper
[11:22] <cjwatson> astonishingly unlikely
[11:23] <cjwatson> well, you might be using an outdated debhelper compat level
[11:23] <theclaw> cjwatson: I have '5' in debian/compat, so this shouldn't be the problem?
[11:23] <cjwatson> but debhelper 3 dates back to 2001
[11:23] <cjwatson> then there is something else wrong and we would need detailed information (e.g. an example) to debug it
[11:23] <seb128> hum, "vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image"
[11:24] <seb128> I wonder what went wrong with that lucid usb stick I just did
[11:24] <cjwatson> the installed version of syslinux tends to need to match
[11:24] <theclaw> cjwatson: I can't distribute anything of the package, sorry
[11:24] <seb128> cjwatson, you mean I can't do a lucid usb key with maverick usb creator?
[11:25] <theclaw> cjwatson: but thanks for the hints
[11:25] <seb128> or on maverick rather
[11:25] <cjwatson> seb128: only if you downgrade to lucid's syslinux
[11:25] <cjwatson> (at the moment)
[11:25] <seb128> cjwatson, ok thanks
[11:25] <cjwatson> theclaw: can't help if you can't share
[11:25] <seb128> I did the keys 3 times and rsync the iso again to be sure
[11:25] <seb128> it's a non obvious issue ;-)
[11:25] <cjwatson> there's an open bug for it
[11:26] <cjwatson> ev and I have talked about it, but it's mostly been conference/holiday season since then
[11:26] <seb128> ok, thanks
[11:26] <seb128> at least I know what's going on now ;-)
[11:27] <cjwatson> I'm not sure what the right answer is given that syslinux isn't actually on the CD, only isolinux
[11:42] <bilalakhtar> bdrung: I actually need to get it SRUed into Lucid at the same time. How to do this with a branch? since lp:ubuntu/lucid-proposed/gnome-disk-utility does not exist.
[11:46] <tumbleweed> bilalakhtar: propose merging into lucid instead of lucid-proposed?
[11:47] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: is that acceptable?
[11:47] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: ok, I will follow the good-old debdiff method
[11:47] <tumbleweed> other people seem to do that, the problem is that the merge request will never be marked Merged automatically...
[11:48] <tumbleweed> (and the reviewer can't mark it merged / WIP)
[11:48] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: well, since it is my first SRU, I don;t want to experiment with it

[11:58] <bilalakhtar> geser: people say: Drop the ubuntu changes whenever possible
[11:58] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: the current ubuntu changes and the debian accepted changes are somewhat different, but they have the same goal: move away from python2.5
[11:59] <geser> bilalakhtar: yes, but we are currently past FF and should start focusing towards release. That also excludes syncs which no benefit right now.
[12:00] <bilalakhtar> geser: ok, I will take care about it next time onwards.
[12:01] <geser> being able to autosync for N isn't IMHO a valid reason for syncing (at least if it's the only reason)

[12:07] <geser> bilalakhtar: sure (it's up to your sponsors to ACK it or not) but please consider if syncing a package gains us anything for the release for next syncs/merges

[15:13] <seb128> ricotz, I would appreciate if you didn't have your own gtk3 version in a ppa
[15:13] <seb128> ricotz, it has potential to create trouble for users who want to try it and don't know it might conflict with the official builds when we will have those
[15:14] <ricotz> seb128, yes, that is why i want someone of you to review it
[15:15] <ricotz> i still have it in my staging ppa which shouldnt be used
[15:21] <free> pitti_: hey, didn't we agree on opening SRU tasks only for the main SRU bug (which references the other ones)? for sake of convenience
[15:22] <pitti> free: we did? I can't remember
[15:22] <free> pitti: also I think that internally we were marking bugs as "Fix released" only when the packages actually hit -updates
[15:22] <pitti> free: but anyway, if the 1.5.4 changelog claims to fix a bug which is still open upstream and targetted at 1.5.5, there's something wrong?
[15:22] <pitti> free: that's what the Ubuntu task should be for then
[15:22] <pitti> free: but ok, I can accept the "fix committed" upstream state, even if it's slightly weird
[15:23] <free> pitti: right, I'm fine whatever, I just didn't open tasks because of the above
[15:23] <pitti> ok, I can't remember the discussion where we agreed to not add SRU tasks
[15:25] <free> pitti: about the wrong milestone, sorry about that, the bug should have been marked "Fix committed" quite a bit ago, but we forgot, so it was automatically shifted to 1.5.5 by a script we use at the end of the milestone
[15:25] <free> pitti: so do you prefer to have tasks for all bugs or only for the main one?
[15:25] <ScottK> Is http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/NBS/ updating correctly?  I uploaded most of the rebuild targets for http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/NBS/libkrb5-25-heimdal last night and even the ones that built ~12 hours ago still show there.
[15:25] <pitti> ScottK: hm, usually it does
[15:26] <pitti> cronjob is working, anyway, but only every 8 hours
[15:26]  * ScottK checks another one.
[15:27] <ScottK> pitti: Probably just got caught in the window where we don't get a publisher run for a few hours + the 8 hour cron job cycle.
[15:27] <ScottK> I'll check it again tonight then.
[15:27] <ScottK> Thanks for looking.
[15:27] <pitti> np; I have used it a few days ago, and it was working fine
[15:28] <pitti> but please let me know if the next update (at 1900 UTC) is still bad
[15:28] <ScottK> Will do.
[15:40] <cjwatson> slangasek: could you review https://code.launchpad.net/~csurbhi/ubuntu/maverick/samba/samba-fix.276472/+merge/32753 ?
[15:50] <slangasek> cjwatson: my review is not worth much there; it looks syntactically correct, but should be reviewed by somebody who understands the protocol better

[18:39] <akheron> I did do-release-upgrade on a karmic server today, everything was fine until libc-i686 was upgraded
[18:40] <akheron> right after that everything started to fail, failing about missing version GLIBC_2.11
[18:41] <akheron> *complaining
[18:41] <akheron> what could be wrong?
[18:42] <penguin42> akheron: Can you get an ldd /bin/ls out of it?

[21:05] <maco> i just got an email from lp saying a package i uploaded failed to build on itanic but the FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz says "Built  successfully" partway down...
[21:05] <maco> like, right at that end bit before the chroot cleans up and uninstalls all the stuff it installed as build deps
[21:06] <maco> i am confused by this definition of fail
[21:06] <SpamapS> maco: it detected that ia64 was a failure and noted it for you.
[21:07] <SpamapS> they've added fuzzy logic now.. if processor_architecture.value == 0: send fail email
[21:08] <SpamapS> ia: can you paste a link to the build?
[21:09] <maco> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53949323/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-ia64.skyeye_1.2.5-2ubuntu1.10.04.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[21:18] <geser> maco: the failure is "Function `get_sym' implicitly converted to pointer at utils/main/skyeye.c:200
[21:18] <geser> "
[21:18] <geser> the source file is missing the prototype for the function
[21:19] <maco> why is that so far after the "build successful" message?
[21:19] <geser> the buildd scans the output for this and fails if it's found
[21:19] <maco> and that's a bit odd
[21:19] <geser> amd64 should fail the same way
[21:19] <maco> since its a no-change rebuild
[21:20] <maco> and the package it didnt change from /did/ build on ia64
[21:20] <geser> but a lib might have changed between the time it got build last and now
[21:21] <maco> well i dont know about ia64, but amd64 does not fail in pbuilder
[21:22] <maco> ...and actually on lp it did complete on amd64
[21:22] <maco> hmm ...
[21:22]  * maco goes back to calling it itanic
[21:22] <geser> yeah, hmm
[21:23] <geser> perhaps a header which doesn't get included on ia64 for some reason
[21:23] <maco> im glad amd64 won the 64bit market
[21:25] <ScottK> maco: You can ignore ia64 anyway, it's about to be killed.
[21:25] <ajmitch> the TB have spoken
[21:25] <ScottK> Yep.
[21:26]  * ScottK isn't sure why ia64 went along with sparc since it was still functional, but oh well.
[21:26] <maco> which was still functional?
[21:26] <ajmitch> I think it wa sfunctional but noone was caring for it
[21:26] <ScottK> ia64
[21:26] <ajmitch> but it at least booted afaik
[21:26]  * ScottK saw ia64 specific bugs reported by users as recently as Karmic.
[21:27] <ScottK> So I think it even has a non-zero number of users.
[21:27] <maco> im surprised by that
[21:27] <ScottK> But it's decided now anyway.
[21:27] <maco> do they even sell itanium hardware anymore?
[21:27] <maco> i saw it for like 6 months then people realised they couldnt use 32bit windows on it, then it went away
[21:27] <achiang> hp sells quite a bit of ia64
[21:28] <maco> is that servers?
[21:28] <achiang> it only makes $10B / year for them
[21:28] <ScottK> Yes
[21:28] <maco> ah
[21:28] <achiang> actually, that number seems wrong, please ignore it
[21:28]  * ScottK has a server running Hardy that has a motherboard/CPU that dates from 1999.
[21:28] <mdke> slangasek: around?
[21:29] <ajmitch> perhaps the port can be revived if someone steps up to look after it
[21:29]  * ScottK has another running Lucid from 2000.
[21:29] <ScottK> Perhaps, but restarting a port is hard.  Ask lamont about restarting hppa.
[21:29]  * maco would use debian if the year starts with a 1
[21:29] <penguin42> there are probably quite a few Ia64 workstations/small servers that geeks have managed to hang on to when the places they work were about to throw them out
[21:30] <ScottK> Since it's in Lucid, they'll be able to do it for another 3 - 5 years.
[21:30] <penguin42> or actually after they through them out :-)
[21:31] <ScottK> The last Sparc installer that worked was Gutsy.  The last working system was, I think, Jaunty.  So it's in a very different situation.
[21:32] <ajmitch> maco: what's wrong with using debian? :)
[21:32] <ajmitch> penguin42: especially if they have shares in power companies
[21:32] <maco> ajmitch: it's more about what's wrong with using ubuntu
[21:32] <penguin42> ajmitch: They make great heaters
[21:33] <ajmitch> maco: if you have an ia64, the answer would be obvious :)
[21:33] <maco> ajmitch: i was referring to ScottK's old machines
[21:33] <maco> i tried feisty on a c1998 machine. that was...on the edge of bearable
[21:34] <ajmitch> I had breezy on an old laptop with 128MB of RAM
[21:34] <maco> i doubt it could boot lucid..if i could find it
[21:34] <ajmitch> it was interesting
[21:35] <maco> etch + e17 was the fanciest thing i could run on it and still have enough ram available to run 1 app at a time
[21:35] <ScottK> Up through Hardy I have a laptop with 256MB of RAM I ran Kubuntu on (and even built packages)
[21:35] <ScottK> have/had
[21:35]  * ajmitch would just like little things like suspend/resume to work on hardware from last year, let alone having an ancient laptop boot
[21:35] <maco> (er, ram+swap)
[21:35] <maco> ajmitch: ancient things are more likely to work i think
[21:36] <maco> nice old stable drivers
[21:36] <ajmitch> rather than using things like fglrx
[21:36] <maco> if it predates this wifi and bluetooth dohickeys, itll probably be happy :P
[21:36] <maco> ScottK: did you have to install your own ethernet cards on those machines, or did they come with them?
[21:37] <ScottK> One came with the other is home built, so I had to add it.
[21:38] <ScottK> The laptop needed a PCMCIA ethernet card.
[21:38] <ScottK> Err wifi card.
[21:38] <ScottK> Ethernet was built in.
[21:38] <maco> i think the WinME machine was the first we had that could do ethernet
[21:52] <cjwatson> jibel: I think it might be dpkg breakage - I noticed it myself on different packages, but at the time put it down to the fact that I only restored this system from backup recently
