| Obsidian1723 | anyone here know about packaging deb files? I'm in the process of reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete but this is more of a question of, "is this the best way to do it?" than anything else. I want to find the best way to distribute images for wallpapers, fonts, document files, and also an install-setup.sh for setting up new installs. Basically the idea is to do a new Ubuntu install, add the PPA, update it | 06:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | and then the file downloads and does all of the work. Is this the best way to do that? One issue that may arise is the shell script does reqire some user input to it. Forgive me. I am not a programmer, new to packaging, etc. Just want some feedback on my method really. Right now I have an alternaitve Ubuntu ISO with a kickstart file that does a wget to.dropbox.com -O- | sh and it works, but it's crude. | 06:00 |

| smb | cjwatson, pitti Would it be possible to get Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid packages accepted into proposed? Also for Lucid all kernels package (and the previous upload) have gone into NEW. Maybe someone can refresh my memory why that is happening. The -24.40 version are superseded by -24.42 anyway. For hardy one of the uploads can also be removed. Maybe the other one as well. We are working on some issues there and need to re-upload anyways. | 09:57 |
| pitti | I'm NEWing the lucid binaries now | 09:58 |
| smb | pitti, Thanks. Just the newer ones. The older could go. | 10:00 |
| pitti | yep | 10:00 |
| pitti | smb: rejected the hardy uploads | 10:01 |
| pitti | smb: I didn't accept the jaunty one, since I have a question in bug 611471 which didn't get an answer yet | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 611471 in linux (Ubuntu Lucid) "Fixup vesafb initialization patch which was mistakenly dropped." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/611471 | 10:02 |
| smb | I guess that binaries always went into NEW and I just forgot about that for some reason. Ok. Note the lbm upload will need the meta update when it finishes as we added some meta packages | 10:02 |
| smb | pitti, Ok, looking | 10:02 |
| pitti | smb: same question applies to karmic, but there the kernel fixes other things, too, so we wouldn't do an entire kernel upload for such an unimportant issue | 10:03 |
| smb | pitti, OK, well did that because this applied to all kernels since whatever and can cause problems when unloading the module. Its probably arguable whether its important. It was more of a finding that this part was accidentally dropped and all releases can get the same fix. | 10:05 |
| pitti | smb: unloading a module is a rather uncommon action, too, and I don't see why this bug is important for SRU, TBH | 10:07 |
| pitti | smb: for karmic it's probalby okay because it also fixes other things, but jaunty changes just that | 10:08 |
| smb | pitti, OK, that is arguable. I was more approaching this from a having the same code if possible point of view. But given that Jaunty is going away soon, I could live with it being rejected. | 10:10 |

| Keybuk | ogra: yeah just got robbie's mail | 12:33 |
| Keybuk | what does the patch do? | 12:33 |
| ogra | prevent ureadahed from starting on systems that dont have enough ram to hold the cache | 12:33 |
| Keybuk | I can't see the patch | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | what's the problem? | 12:34 |
| ogra | there is a linked branch | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | the OOM killer should take out ureadahead right? | 12:34 |
| ogra | right, it does | 12:34 |
| ogra | and it tears down plymouth with it | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | right | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | so there's no problem | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | why does it take out plymouth?! | 12:34 |
| ogra | no idea | 12:34 |
| ogra | the systems that runs on have only 128-256M | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | so? | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | ureadahead operates on the page cache | 12:35 |
| Keybuk | it shouldn't cause any blocks to be mapped that weren't otherwise already there | 12:36 |
| ogra | i have also seen "no space left on device" messages from udev in that case btw, it seems to fill the ram until OOM kicks in but doesnt clear up the used "diskspace" in the tmpfs | 12:36 |
| Keybuk | unless it OOMs in tracing mode, in which case "ram to hold the cache" is irrelevant | 12:36 |
| cnd | pitti, you took a look at the utouch MIR requests and everything looked right to you, but I see that utouch-grail still is uploaded to universe: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/utouch-grail | 12:36 |
| Keybuk | ureadahead doesn't use any space in tmpfs | 12:36 |
| ogra | hmm | 12:36 |
| cnd | pitti, utouch-grail is now a dependency of xserver-xorg-input-evdev | 12:36 |
| cnd | pitti, is there something else we need to do? | 12:36 |
| Keybuk | I suspect you're not seeing anything different to the bug Tim recently uploaded a fix for | 12:37 |
| Keybuk | that ureadahead uses a stupidly large tracing buffer that's per-cpu | 12:37 |
| ogra | Keybuk, well, in any case it would be nice to not have OOM messages in dmesg on released images, what rsalveti added is just a way to prevent it from starting completely on low ram systems | 12:38 |
| ogra | and we already use tims fix | 12:38 |
| ogra | it helps on systems above 512M but apparently not below | 12:38 |
| Keybuk | ureadahead should still be started on low ram systems | 12:39 |
| ogra | might indeed be an arm or even specifically omap thing | 12:39 |
| Keybuk | it's not putting anything into ram that wasn't already there | 12:39 |
| ogra | why ? if it definitely hits OOM anyway | 12:39 |
| ogra | it adds uglyness to dmesg i wouldnt like to expose in released images | 12:40 |
| Keybuk | as I said, I suspect that's just due to the tracing buffer | 12:40 |
| Keybuk | released images are months away yet | 12:40 |
| ogra | heh, indeed | 12:40 |
| Keybuk | I have a complete ureadahead rewrite coming this week/early next | 12:40 |
| ogra | oh, ok | 12:40 |
| Keybuk | which uses a dynamic tracing buffer, so *that* particular problem goes away | 12:40 |
| ogra | we'll wait for that one then | 12:40 |
| Keybuk | and I don't see any evidence you're having anything other than the tracing buffer OOM | 12:40 |
| ogra | [ 5.705688] Out of memory: kill process 180 (plymouthd) score 96 or a child | 12:41 |
| ogra | [ 5.711944] Killed process 180 (plymouthd) vsz:6200kB, anon-rss:3836kB, file-rss:720kB | 12:41 |
| ogra | [ 5.851837] init invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_adj=0 | 12:41 |
| ogra | (from the dmesg in the bug) | 12:41 |
| ogra | does that deserve a separate bug ? | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | perhaps we should be oom-adjusting plymouth | 12:41 |
| Keybuk | actually we should probably oom-adjust ureadahead in the opposite direction | 12:42 |
| Keybuk | in a "OMG! PLEASE KILL ME!" kind of way | 12:42 |
| cjwatson | yes | 12:42 |
| ogra | yeah | 12:42 |
| Keybuk | would certainly be worth trying that patch | 12:43 |
| Keybuk | stick "oom 14" in the ureadahead.conf | 12:43 |
| Keybuk | and see what gets killed that time | 12:43 |
| * ogra doubts the first sentence you wrote in your comment ... | 12:45 | |
| Keybuk | why? | 12:45 |
| ogra | ureadahead doesnt do any good things on SD rootfs, it usually just exits directly anyway | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | if the OOM killer is taking out ureadahead when it's in read mode, it's still put stuff in the page cache | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | so it's still had *some* benefit | 12:45 |
| ogra | well, it *did* exit in lucid | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | er, it shouldn't? what filesystem are you using? | 12:45 |
| ogra | ext3 on SD card | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | I don't know of anythiing about an SD card that would prevent ureadahead from running | 12:46 |
| ogra | and i think it used to exit 5 in that setup before | 12:46 |
| ogra | the OOM only started showing up in maverick | 12:46 |

| pitti | micu: nothing is ignored; it's sorted asciibetically roughly, with - and ~ being special cased | 14:15 |

| jibel | ttx: see discussion above with pitti. | 14:15 |
| ttx | pitti: ok cool, haven't done it before because I wasn't sure that wxwidgets2.8 would get accepted | 14:15 |
| micu | sladen: 4:4.7.0~beta2-0ubuntu3~lucid1~ppa5 is it and I want to supersede it, but not if they provide some newer versions | 14:16 |
| ttx | based on that "regression" | 14:16 |
| free | pitti: hey, I've seen you've tagged the landscape-client SRU bugs as "verification-done" and removed "verification-needed", in the future is it something we can/should do ourselves? | 14:16 |

| kees | pitti: sure; it's not feasible. easy response. :) | 16:09 |
| pitti | kees: .. for the records :) | 16:09 |
| pitti | kees: it eases the decision, it might just be that rickspencer3 et al might not like it :) | 16:10 |
| rickspencer3 | kees, why is it not feasible? | 16:10 |
| kirkland | pgraner: ping | 16:11 |
| kirkland | pgraner: i think you were affected by https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/574773 at some point ... | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 574773 in screen (Ubuntu Lucid) "Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied (convert init to upstart)" [Medium,Fix committed] | 16:12 |
| kirkland | pgraner: would you mind verifying that screen works correctly for you now on reboot, and adding a message to that bug? | 16:12 |
| pgraner | kirkland, will do, will take a few | 16:12 |
| kirkland | pgraner: ack, thanks so much | 16:12 |
| pitti | Adri2000: followed up | 16:15 |
| pitti | superm1: do we actually know whether they are due to mirror updates? | 16:15 |
| superm1 | pitti, i'm not sure how to query that? | 16:15 |
| pitti | superm1: just whether someone has looked at it before and determined it to be a mirror update problem | 16:16 |
| superm1 | i've always heard it thrown around by slangasek and cjwatson as a locking problem | 16:16 |
| pitti | or whether it was just a guess | 16:16 |
| pitti | superm1: Colin fixed a locking problem the other day | 16:16 |
| pitti | I think last week, for 10.04.1 | 16:16 |
| Adri2000 | pitti: thanks | 16:16 |
| superm1 | i think one of them will have to comment if they've investigated it further | 16:16 |
| pitti | but that was before your latest failure | 16:17 |
| superm1 | yeah, there was a successful build on 8-22 | 16:17 |
| pitti | smb: karmic kernels NEWed, FYI | 16:18 |
| smb | ok thanks | 16:18 |
| kees | rickspencer3: it's not feasible to backport individual security fixes from chromium because the chromium maintainer says so. :) | 16:20 |
| rickspencer3 | fair enough | 16:20 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, it would be far too much work (and too risky) for us to consider backporting security fixes ourselves | 16:22 |
| chrisccoulson | and doing that for nearly 3 years of a LTS leaves us pretty much on our own if there are any issues with our packages | 16:23 |
| pitti | also, given how brittle chromium still is these days, we also do want bug fixes | 16:23 |
| pitti | it's amazing how often it "aw, snap"s :-( | 16:24 |
| jdstrand | pitti: yeah I know what you mean. I was developing an apparmor profile for it (now in apparmor-profiles), so I felt kind of obligated to use it for awhile. It felt like several steps backwards | 16:26 |
| chrisccoulson | i use several browsers all at the same time now | 16:26 |
| chrisccoulson | it's quite difficult splitting my browsing experience between multiple browsers ;) | 16:27 |
| jdstrand | yeah, it was hard enough with the two for the short while I did it | 16:27 |
| chrisccoulson | this ptrace restriction is a real pain for breakpad ;) | 16:28 |
| jdstrand | chrisccoulson: I assume you talked to kees about it? | 16:29 |
| chrisccoulson | jdstrand, yeah. i'm doing the prctl call in the parent (which makes it work), but that is inherently racy | 16:29 |
| chrisccoulson | in that there is nothing to stop the debugger calling ptrace before the parent calls prctl | 16:30 |
| chrisccoulson | and trying to get threads running in signal handler-context of a crashed process to synchronize is a pain | 16:30 |

| ttx | ScottK: IMHO it should not have reached lucid-updates based on comment 10 and 13 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/379573 ... but now that it has, we are closer to the fix with the noop rebuilds than by pulling the package of -updates, methinks | 16:44 |

| ScottK | ttx: Sounds reasonable. | 16:44 |
| ttx | it all boils down to comment 14 on that bug. If it regresses, it shouldn't have been tagged verification-done. At the very least we should have coordinated the noop rebuilds in -proposed and -updates | 16:47 |
| ScottK | ttx: It sounds to me like you're in the best position to prepare an incident report around this so we can improve in the future. | 16:49 |

| savid | Hi, I'm making a python daemon that I would like to have an indicator icon for. Ie, when the daemon is running, it should show the indicator icon.

| === skaet is now known as skaet_afk | ||

| cjwatson | GPLv2 required placing notices in any modified files stating that you changed the files and giving the date. This was often ignored, so GPLv3 merely says that the "work" must carry such notices - so a changelog file is fine | 18:18 |

| cjwatson | smoser: hi | 18:36 |
| smoser | i'm trying to deal with some grub issues in my uec images. | 18:37 |
| smoser | during build, i trick update-grub into thinking that it successfully installs onto /dev/sda. | 18:37 |
| smoser | the instance may come up in 1 of 3 environments | 18:37 |
| smoser | a.) ec2, where there is no /dev/sda device | 18:37 |
| smoser | b.) uec where /dev/sda is there and subsequent grub-install will work fine | 18:38 |
| smoser | c.) uec where /dev/sda is not there, but /dev/vda is | 18:38 |
| cjwatson | update-grub doesn't install to anything. I suspect you mean grub-install | 18:38 |
| smoser | ok, yeah. | 18:38 |
| dobey | hrmm, if i change the names of some binary packages (in a PPA), and replace/conflict the old names, will apt know to pull the new names to update? i'm a little confused on how that works exactly. | 18:39 |
| smoser | one way or another, right now, if I have 'update-grub' set to run on kernel install, it will fail on ec2. | 18:39 |

| hallyn | pitti: cjwatson: hey guys, i'm having a problem with multipath booting, and you are the last two to touch the changelog, so I'm hoping you have an idea for the right place to solve it :) | 20:01 |
| jaminc | anyone here notice that the server and desktop installs generate different group IDs for the same groups and a conflicting user ID? | 20:01 |
| hallyn | basically, if the kernel gets a 'root=UUID=xyz' boot option, the initramfs init tries to mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/xyz | 20:01 |
| hallyn | if that happens early enough, then /dev/disk/by-uuid/xyz points to /dev/sda. Late enough, and it points to /dev/mapper/abc. But in between, it still points to /dev/sda1, but /dev/sda1 has been taken by multipath - the links have just not yet been updated - so the rootfs mount attempt fails | 20:02 |
| pitti | hallyn: I have no clue about multipath, but I reasonably know the "normal" boot | 20:02 |
| hallyn | my naive thought would be that i need to synchronize between hotplug/udev and the mount_root attempt at init. But I don't know what would be a clean way | 20:03 |

| cnd | seb128, thanks for uploading utouch-geis | 22:15 |
| cnd | do you have a minute for a quick question about it? | 22:15 |
| seb128 | cnd, np | 22:15 |
| seb128 | sure | 22:15 |
| cnd | seb128, so I added a runtime package depends for libutouch-geis1 on libutouch-grail1 (>= 1.0.10) in because geis of the api/abi change | 22:16 |
| cnd | is there a different method you would use? | 22:16 |
| seb128 | well if the api changes the libutouch-grail1 shlibs or .symbols should reflect that | 22:16 |
| cnd | ahhh, ok | 22:16 |
| seb128 | I would update the libutouch-grail1 .shlibs or .symbols | 22:16 |
| seb128 | so the libutouch-geis1 would get the right version | 22:16 |
| cnd | yeah, at first your comment didn't make sense to me | 22:16 |
| cnd | but it just clicked | 22:16 |
| cnd | our .symbols file for grail should be correct, so my addition was likely superfluous | 22:17 |
| seb128 | right | 22:17 |
| cnd | and I'm not sure how that automatic debian packaging patch snuck in there | 22:17 |
| seb128 | the point of having those .symbols is not to have to deal with those depends manually | 22:17 |
| cnd | I'll make sure to fix both issues for the next upload | 22:17 |
| seb128 | ${shlibs:Depends} will build the depends list based on the symbol you use | 22:18 |
| cnd | yeah | 22:18 |
| seb128 | it will check what other lib and version provides thoe | 22:18 |
| seb128 | those | 22:18 |
| seb128 | cnd, thanks | 22:18 |
| cnd | I get all the parts, I just don't remember all of them all the time yet | 22:18 |
| cnd | :) | 22:18 |
| seb128 | ;-) | 22:18 |
| seb128 | cnd, sorry if the comments were a bit short | 22:19 |
| seb128 | cnd, the other issues is that this autogenerated debian patch is diff done inline | 22:19 |
| cnd | seb128, no, I think they were good, I just didn't put two and two together | 22:19 |
| seb128 | so either you didn't have a clean source or you just want that renamed to be a proper patch | 22:19 |
| cnd | yeah | 22:19 |
| cnd | likely it's not a clean source | 22:19 |
| cnd | have you noticed that bzr clean-tree doesn't get rid of .o files on maverick? | 22:20 |
| cnd | fun times... | 22:20 |
| seb128 | where would be the fun to use an unstable version if there was no bug ;-) | 22:20 |
