| neeraj | Let say package A depends on B. And B on C. Now including B as a dependency of A will install C also.. right? Or we have to add both B and C as a dependency. | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| JontheEchidna | Other than libraries which are automatically hanlded, dependencies can change. So while at the moment B would bring in C, it's best to assume that it might not always do so, and depend on both B and C | 00:16 |

| robert_ancell | slangasek, hey, question about this vte include problem - what package is using it in this way. There seems to be an inconsistency in how "includedir" is defined | 03:02 |
| slangasek | robert_ancell: both gir-repository and vinagre both FTBFS this way | 03:02 |
| robert_ancell | slangasek, ok, looking into what they're doing - note that vinagre has it's pkg-config file set up the same way | 03:04 |
| micahg | any archive admins want to sync a security update? :) | 03:08 |
| robert_ancell | slangasek, vinagre builds for me, and appears to have built fine in the archives - do you have a build log? | 03:10 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| slangasek | robert_ancell: hmm, didn't keep a log; don't even remember now for sure that I did build it, as opposed to inspecting the source visually. Will double check and get back to you in a bit | 03:12 |
| robert_ancell | ok | 03:12 |
| === steve|m1 is now known as steve|m | ||
| slangasek | robert_ancell: ah; no, I didn't try to build vinagre, I just looked at the source to confirm that it expected "vte/vte.h" as a header rather than "vte-0.0/vte/vte.h" | 03:19 |
| slangasek | robert_ancell: so it may just be gir-repository affected by ths | 03:19 |

| jibel | mvo, good morning, we've found another culprit causing bug 614993. | 08:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 614993 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "10.04 -> 10.10 upgrade fails: pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks: xserver-xorg-video-v4l demoted to universe" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/614993 | 08:09 |
| jibel | mvo, xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd has been removed from maverick and is blocking the upgrade. | 08:09 |
| jibel | mvo, but that does'nt fix the pb for everybody and there is still another one. | 08:10 |
| mvo | thanks jibel, I look at it again | 08:11 |
| mvo | jibel: odd that it worked for me, but maybe I had the wrong set of package, I investigate | 08:12 |
| jibel | mvo, I'm able to reproduce the issue on a fresh 10.04.1 | 08:14 |
| jibel | mvo, but that doesn't fix it for bdmurray and another reporter. There is probably something left from a previous upgrade. | 08:15 |
| * mvo nods | 08:16 | |
| mdke | didrocks: don't think so | 08:22 |
| lucidfox | dholbach> Just saw your post on Planet Ubuntu... So are the Launchpad daily builds a feature that allows anyone to request Launchpad to do daily builds from VCS without any manual intervention or setting up your own daemons? | 08:50 |
| dholbach | lucidfox, yes, the code needs to live in Launchpad though (vcs imports) | 08:50 |
| lucidfox | Neat | 08:51 |
| dholbach | https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/ | 08:51 |
| lucidfox | Yes, saw that page :) | 08:51 |
| dholbach | https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/KnownLimitations is current breakage, but being worked on | 08:51 |
| * lucidfox goes to set up a daily build for Pinta | 08:51 | |
| dholbach | some of them will be fixed in the next LP release | 08:51 |
| jibel | mvo, that's xserver-xorg-video-dummy which is blocking the upgrade. it provides xserver-xorg-video-7 in maverick | 09:00 |
| mvo | jibel: yeah, I just found it out as well, I'm preparing a new xserver-xorg-core | 09:00 |
| mvo | jibel: it appears there is also -glamo | 09:01 |
| mvo | jibel: and (just to be on the safe side) I merged some from debian (vga, i81, imstt) that we probably don't need, but they will not hurt (and make the merge later easier) | 09:01 |
| didrocks | mdke: thanks for the info :) | 09:02 |
| mvo | jibel: next thing is to debug apt so that its either more clever or gives at least better debug output | 09:04 |
| jibel | mvo, yep. apt.log gives no clue about what's wrong. | 09:06 |
| mvo | jibel: indeed :/ | 09:06 |
| mvo | jibel: thanks for keeping a eye on this bug! much appreciated | 09:06 |
| jibel | mvo, have a look at -glide too | 09:07 |
| mvo | jibel: aha, thanks. I missed that one (was in a amd64 chroot and that is i386 only afaics) | 09:09 |
| mvo | jibel: the updated breaks list http://paste.ubuntu.com/486211/ | 09:19 |
| dholbach | if anybody has a tiny bit of time, can you branch lp:~dholbach/harvest/release-prep follow the instructions in the INSTALL file and play with it and see if there's anything glaringly broken? :-) | 09:40 |
| G | dholbach: having a poke | 09:47 |
| jibel | mvo, I think that -newport, -psb, tga, unichrome and -via are missing from that list. | 09:49 |
| G | dholbach: how long should the manage.py update take? | 09:51 |
| dholbach | g: the first one takes a bit longer | 09:51 |
| mvo | jibel: thanks, that makes sense (modulo -via,that is just a transitional package) | 09:51 |
| G | oh, never mind, something happened :) | 09:51 |
| mvo | jibel: I add them now | 09:51 |
| persia | jibel, -psb works? I thought it was unsuitable for use still. | 09:52 |
| OdyX | tkamppeter: ping | 10:07 |
| jibel | persia, I don't know if it works but I can install it in hardy and then upgrade to a release where it's not available anymore. | 10:08 |
| persia | jibel, Ah, OK. So a lucid thing, rather than a maverick thing? I believe it was available for hardy and jaunty (and not intrepid). | 10:09 |
| jibel | persia, yes. it was only available in hardy from what I've found. I haven't checked intrepid. | 10:10 |
| persia | I'm fairly certain that if it was in intrepid, it was pointlessly broken, because Intel never released binaries that worked with that kernel and X. | 10:11 |
| persia | For jaunty, it was only available in a PPA, but lots of folks with that hardware (which was common at the time) installed from there. | 10:11 |
| Kmos | hi persia | 10:12 |
| persia | Hey Kmos. Are you going to submit your "I'd like to be involved again" application soonish? I've been waiting. | 10:13 |
| persia | (otherwise I'm supposed to ask you to leave the channel) | 10:13 |

| G | dholbach: the only thing I'd say is for the bug numbers, include the bug titles | 10:58 |

| dholbach | thanks a lot for your review! | 10:58 |
| G | dholbach: ooh, here is one | 11:00 |
| G | Packages all unticked, Opportunities->sponsoring, Pidgin, a code branch has appeared, is that intentional? | 11:00 |
| G | ahhh actually I guess it is | 11:01 |
| dholbach | yes | 11:01 |
| \sh | hmm...who approves new uploads for bugfixes these days? | 11:17 |
| persia | \sh, If you break freeze, ubuntu-release. if you don't, you. | 11:27 |
| persia | (check if it's seeded first: generally apt-cache show works, because it ends up in tasks) | 11:28 |
| \sh | persia, aehm...it's zend-framework, new bugfix release but new upstream version too...I uploaded it regarding the ffe guidlines...(all universe) | 11:28 |
| \sh | and now it sits in "approval state" :) | 11:29 |
| seb128 | dholbach, would be nice to have a way to display the opportunities not listed | 11:29 |
| seb128 | dholbach, or to know why those nn are not listed | 11:29 |
| dholbach | seb128, not listed because the opportunity lists are not chosen :) | 11:30 |
| dholbach | or the filtering limited :) | 11:30 |
| persia | \sh, Oh, that's the release team. They've just got the upload queue on manual. Check in #ubuntu-release if you need it fast, or wait a bit, and they'll likely push it. | 11:31 |
| \sh | persia, thx :) | 11:31 |
| seb128 | dholbach, would be nice to have a "select all opportunities" | 11:32 |
| seb128 | dholbach, oh, it seems clicking on "selected" does that | 11:33 |
| dholbach | seb128, yes, how do you think that could be made more obvious? | 11:33 |
| seb128 | changing the label | 11:34 |
| seb128 | "limit to selected" | 11:34 |
| seb128 | or something which indicates it's a filter and not only a title for the sublist | 11:34 |
| dholbach | and I guess the same for packagesets? | 11:34 |
| seb128 | yes | 11:34 |
| seb128 | I though those were just titles | 11:35 |
| seb128 | I didn't get that you could click to toggle | 11:35 |

| seb128 | I would not dislike having the label telling you about opportunities not listed doing the "list those" on click | 11:41 |
| dholbach | seb128, I'm not sure I understand - can you rephrase? | 11:42 |

| G | dholbach: because it's not smooth/stuck at the top etc | 11:42 |
| G | the bouncing around is distracting | 11:43 |
| seb128 | dholbach, I think I was asking for what "permalink" does | 11:43 |
| seb128 | the wording is just not obvious | 11:43 |
| dholbach | g: what's bouncing around? | 11:43 |
| G | dholbach: the left bit w/ the filtering options | 11:43 |
| seb128 | dholbach, I'm browsing the list and just show that gnome-session has 11 opportunities | 11:43 |
| seb128 | dholbach, I was wondering if there was a way to quickly see those without changing the filtering | 11:44 |
| dholbach | seb128, so a 'reset filters' link? | 11:44 |
| dholbach | ah ok | 11:44 |
| G | dholbach: if you say display all packages w/ fedora patches and scroll to the bottom it gets a little sickening | 11:44 |
| seb128 | dholbach, no, just a "show me all the opportunities for that source" | 11:44 |
| dholbach | seb128, do you think you can file a bug explaining how you'd like it to work? | 11:44 |
| seb128 | dholbach, well "permalink" does it | 11:44 |
| dholbach | ah ok | 11:44 |
| seb128 | just not inline | 11:44 |
| seb128 | but I can work with that | 11:44 |

| cking | cjwatson, we could ask manjo to ship it to you, but it's a big dev box | 15:49 |
| cjwatson | probably not a plan | 15:50 |
| pitti | cjwatson: how do I find if I have UEFI? | 15:50 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I have a fairly recent ThinkPad X201, with current maverick amd64 on it | 15:50 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| pitti | "find out" | 15:50 |
| manjo | pitti, your bios should say UEFI v2.1 | 15:50 |
| cking | pitti, check in /sys/firmware perchance | 15:51 |
| pitti | $ ls /sys/firmware/ | 15:51 |
| pitti | acpi memmap | 15:51 |
| cjwatson | cking,manjo: so, the current situation is as follows | 15:51 |
| pitti | cking: find /sys/firmware -iname '*efi*' | 15:51 |
| pitti | -> nothing | 15:51 |
| pitti | I guess that's a bad sign? | 15:51 |
| cjwatson | current amd64 (only) CDs contain a GRUB EFI build | 15:52 |
| manjo | I think sys firmware only has interrupts and such | 15:52 |
| jdstrand | micahg: sure | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | you can boot them using either BIOS or UEFI on a system capable of doing either | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | GRUB appears to boot the kernel fine; I used a test kernel cking gave me at the sprint which issues beeps right at the start of head_64.S | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | however, there is no output from the kernel | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | this is obviously a showstopper but it's not quite clear what's going on | 15:53 |
| manjo | cjwatson, is there a 64bit image I can get to on cdimage ? | 15:53 |
| cjwatson | the 'newreloc' branch was landed recently in GRUB upstream, and there's a possibility that it was due to the initramfs being loaded incorrectly in which case that might fix it | 15:54 |
| cjwatson | otherwise, it's hard to say | 15:54 |
| cjwatson | manjo: yes, any current amd64 one | 15:54 |
| manjo | ah yesw | 15:54 |
| cjwatson | newreloc was a pretty significant piece of work though | 15:54 |
| manjo | cjwatson, let me try down the latest x64 iso and give that a spin on my box | 15:54 |
| manjo | give me 30mts or so | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | right, it's always possible it was just this system, though I'm doubtful | 15:55 |
| manjo | I just got a new box from intel with latest build of uefi | 15:56 |
| manjo | I was wanting to install it anyways | 15:56 |
| manjo | but x64 image was not available for the last few builds | 15:57 |
| cjwatson | right, only landed recently. would have been longer ago except that there was a PATH issue in the daily builds | 15:58 |
| manjo | cjwatson, now downloading image ... will report back soon | 15:59 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 15:59 |
| cjwatson | I'll see if I can get to network-console | 16:00 |
| pitti | manjo, cjwatson: sorry, no trace of UEFI in BIOS or /sys | 16:00 |
| G | pitti: as I recally UEFI & 'BIOS' are mutually exclusive | 16:02 |
| G | i.e. you have one or the other | 16:02 |
| pitti | ok, s/BIOS/the ASCII GUI thing for configuring hardware/ :) | 16:03 |
| cjwatson | G: not true | 16:03 |
| cjwatson | G: I have a laptop just here --> that lets you select at boot time | 16:03 |
| G | cjwatson: between BIOS & UEFI? | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | G: I mean, it's probably a BIOS compatibility shim over the top of UEFI or something, but it lets you select either, yes | 16:04 |
| G | ahhh right yeah | 16:04 |
| G | yeah, I'd say it's a compatibility hack over the top | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | but functionally, that's all that's relevant | 16:05 |
| G | cjwatson: yeah, but for the most case, I am right is saying you can have one over the other at any particular time? | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | sure | 16:06 |
| G | *only one | 16:06 |
| G | personally I'm hoping UEFI catches on fast | 16:07 |
| cjwatson | G: I have mixed feelings | 16:10 |
| manjo | pitti, does any of your "boot" options in bios say uefi ? | 16:10 |
| pitti | manjo: no | 16:11 |
| manjo | pitti, if you have uefi bios it should give you an option in boot menu to switch between legacy and uefi | 16:11 |
| === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] | ||
| G | cjwatson: definately for servers, the 2TB boot partition thing has been a nightmare for ages, but for desktops, it will (hopefully) push the HDD makers away from the ugly 2TB+ hacks (like the WD Advanced Format drives) | 16:12 |
| * manjo wonders why we need 2TB on clients ... don't we have cloud for storage ? | 16:13 | |
| persia | manjo, reduced latency | 16:13 |
| G | manjo: haha, storage clouds make me laugh, especially when I'm sitting here w/ my 1.5Mbit down, 400kbps up link :) | 16:14 |
| G | manjo: but the other reason is that I create a ton of backups/shelve a heap of data to refer to later (not exactly important enough to warrant offsite backup but interesting enough to warrant something near-by) | 16:17 |
| manjo | cjwatson, I get a splash screen... | 16:33 |
| manjo | cking, what was the problem that cjwatson reported ? | 16:35 |
| manjo | cjwatson, I am going to proceed with the install ... looks like the CD booted fine (I need to double check that I booted in UEFI mode), UEFI CD/DVD was my 1st boot device and it looked like it recognized it as such | 16:36 |
| === beuno is now known as beuno-lunch | ||
| cjwatson | manjo: do you get into the installer? | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | G: GPT is the best feature of UEFI | 16:37 |
| manjo | cjohnston, yes | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | manjo: coo | 16:38 |
| manjo | I am on allocate drive space etc... | 16:38 |
| manjo | but I see a problem there :) | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | let me know how it goes! my test machine doesn't get that far | 16:38 |
| manjo | select drive space : 360GGB ATA | 16:38 |
| manjo | below that | 16:38 |
| manjo | Ubuntu 0.0 B | 16:38 |
| manjo | what is that ? | 16:39 |
| G | cjwatson: yeah, hence why I want to see UEFI more common :) | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | manjo: I believe I've seen that bug on BIOS too | 16:41 |
| manjo | cjwatson, copying file now ... installing .. | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | manjo: I was expecting you to try server first :) | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | I can give desktop a try | 16:41 |
| manjo | cjwatson, was the problem on server iso not desktop ? | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 16:41 |
| manjo | s**t | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | good to know that desktop seems to work though | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | that's useful in itself | 16:42 |
| manjo | ok will try the sever iso on another machine | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | do double-check that it booted in UEFI mode though | 16:42 |
| manjo | yep will do once its done installing | 16:44 |
| manjo | I need to reseed my server iso anyway | 16:44 |
| manjo | cjwatson, even if it booted cdrom in legacy mode I should be able to boot the HDD in UEFI mode correct ? | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | probably not since if it did that it would have put a BIOS version of grub there | 16:45 |

| manjo | cjwatson, were you able to get the logs ? | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | yes | 16:57 |
| superm1 | ScottK, yes ideally | 16:57 |
| ScottK | OK. Let me check. | 16:58 |
| * manjo standing by | 16:58 | |
| cjwatson | hm, I just queued up a mythbuntu build | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | oh well, you can just do another one later | 16:58 |
| === deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck | ||
| cjwatson | manjo: ok, just a seed bug, fixed (though not in time for current beta builds) | 17:02 |
| manjo | can I work around ? | 17:02 |
| pitti | Keybuk: does ureadahead have some minimum blocking time on SSD as well? it seems the boot blocks on that on my system (http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/bootcharts/donald-maverick-20100805-1.png) | 17:04 |
| ScottK | superm1: Accepted. | 17:04 |
| superm1 | thanks | 17:04 |
| ScottK | No problem. | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | manjo: uh, not sure | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | manjo: certainly not easily except by remastering the CD (which is in itself rather challenging) | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | actually, wait, the seed change was in ship-live! | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | not live - so that means the build in progress should pick it up | 17:08 |
| * manjo fingers crossed | 17:08 | |
| Keybuk | pitti: not usually | 17:08 |
| manjo | cjwatson, ok will try the server cd to make sure it can make progress like desktop.. | 17:08 |
| Keybuk | I think it may read the pack before going into the background | 17:08 |
| Keybuk | but that's no time | 17:09 |
| manjo | cjwatson, you need anymore info from this box before I reboot ? | 17:09 |
| Keybuk | pitti: get a blktrace of that? | 17:09 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I'll read about it (never used that so far) | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | manjo: nope | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | manjo: actually | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | manjo: cat /proc/fb | 17:10 |
| pitti | Keybuk: but thanks (I mainly was curious about whether this is expected); so I'll put that on my todo list | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | manjo: and can you try ctrl-alt-f1 and see if you see anything on the console? | 17:10 |
| manjo | I am on f1 | 17:11 |
| manjo | proc/fb == 0 inteldrmfb | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | ok | 17:12 |
| manjo | there was noting on f1 when I switched | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | but there is now? what did you do? | 17:13 |
| manjo | ? | 17:13 |
| Keybuk | pitti: no, but it's hard to tell what's going on there | 17:13 |
| === rbelem_ is now known as rbelem | ||
| manjo | I switched to f1 to copy logs etc to usb stick and put it up on kernel.ubuntu.com | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | manjo: do you mean that there was just a login prompt or something on ctrl-alt-f1 when you switched? | 17:13 |
| manjo | right | 17:13 |
| manjo | just a log in prompt | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | by "anything" I meant "not a blank screen" :-) | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | as in, is the console working | 17:14 |
| manjo | :) yeah console was working | 17:14 |
| Keybuk | pitti: for example, it could be that ureadahead is reading the things that modprobe already has loaded | 17:14 |
| manjo | heh I have gotten used to seeing a working console that Q confused me sorry | 17:14 |
| Keybuk | so it's null reads, that still cost syscall time | 17:14 |
| Keybuk | blktrace would reveal more detail | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | so it's possible that efifb isn't working, but that things get sorted out when inteldrmfb is loaded | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | in which case we'll need to bloat up the amd64 d-i initramfs some more | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | and figure out *why* efifb isn't working | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | or maybe there's some other difference between your machine and mine | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | I'm not entirely convinced that my initramfs is coming up | 17:17 |
| manjo | cjwatson, booting server now | 17:17 |
| manjo | cjwatson, server iso install in progress ... | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | that will suffer from the same problem at grub-efi, but cool, it works | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | that's an astonishing relief | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | now I need to figure out what's different about this box | 17:19 |
| manjo | cjwatson, yeah I guess its going to be the same fate... but I will let it make progress | 17:21 |

| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| manjo | cjwatson, ok hit the same spot ie bug | 17:34 |
| manjo | cjwatson, so you think the beta build for live server & desktop will pick up your fix ? | 17:34 |
| besogon | Just for a survey: what do you, developers, use for building a package? | 17:36 |
| manjo | cjwatson, I am 99.999% sure that I am booting UEFI mode, the 1st boot option on my boot list is EFI DVD/CDROM and it does not seem to fail that ie it hits option 1 and boots CDROM. \ | 17:39 |
| cjwatson | yes, you are booting in UEFI mode | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | the desktop build just completed has picked it up (but is oversized and needs investigation); not sure if server will be respun | 17:40 |
| manjo | cjwatson, ok I have DVD I can use to burn image on | 17:41 |
| manjo | cjwatson, so if I reseed now I should get the latest correct ? | 17:41 |
| cjwatson | yep | 17:42 |
| manjo | cjwatson, which build should I use ? daily-live/current ? or daily/current ? | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | the former | 17:42 |
| manjo | daily-live it is | 17:42 |
| manjo | cjwatson, will test that bad boy in couple of mts | 17:43 |
| SpamapS | pitti: howdy, I submitted another optimization to the WI tracker today as a merge proposal. Should speed it up a lot actually. | 17:50 |
| pitti | SpamapS: I saw, thanks! | 17:50 |
| SpamapS | pitti: I'm trying to add some useful little panels to the HTML report, like a list of assigned bug tasks in ubuntu.. but I don't want to add this to collect. I'm wondering, do you know if there is a launchpad/ajax proxy available on people.canonical.com? | 17:52 |
| pitti | SpamapS: I'm afraid I don't even know what an ajax proxy is :/ | 17:52 |
| SpamapS | pitti: I'm thinking of opening up an RT ticket to allow for one. That would let us put in some on demand stuff and not have to collect it all. | 17:52 |
| SpamapS | pitti: its just a program that would be running on there to get around javascript's "same-origin" restriction. | 17:53 |
| SpamapS | pitti: basically I can't ask launchpad.net for JSON from a script that originated on people.canonical.com | 17:53 |
| === beuno-lunch is now known as beuno | ||
| SpamapS | pitti: but if we could have a script on people.canonical.com that proxied directly to api.launchpad.net, there's no problem. :-P | 17:54 |
| SpamapS | actually I wonder if launchpad supports JSONP .. | 17:54 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, with that respun oversized disk, on an e6410 it looks like there is a grub menu, but selecting the first option just yields a black screen | 18:03 |
| manjo | superm1, I did not want to hear that ! vanhoof ^^ | 18:04 |
| manjo | superm1, on intel efi test bed.. its booting and installing as of now | 18:05 |
| manjo | vanhoof, I should try this iso on 4310 I have an make sure we see an install menu etc on maverick | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | superm1: seems that there are different results on different machines. I get a blank screen too | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | superm1: the next thing I'm going to try is the grub newreloc branch, since I'm becoming convinced that the initramfs isn't being loaded properly | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | but this is why I wanted somebody to try with a serial console | 18:06 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, i can likely get a port replicator that has a serial port if it would be useful | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | it's amazingly hard to debug this when the amount of information you get is a blank screen | 18:07 |
| manjo | cjwatson, the new iso fails grub install | 18:07 |
| manjo | executing grub-install on /dev/sda failed ... | 18:08 |
| manjo | I will put up the logs in a minute | 18:08 |
| vanhoof | manjo: perhaps he doesnt have the fix that was just released? also there is 554569 which has helped a few people w/ 6410's, but its not been released yet | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | that might be a grub-installer bug; it probably shouldn't be offering device selection on EFI, and should be calling grub-install without a device argument | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | vanhoof: which fix? | 18:10 |
| vanhoof | cjwatson: 561802 | 18:13 |
| vanhoof | which was released today in .42, but is only resolving a bug for UMA based 6410's | 18:13 |
| vanhoof | cjwatson: the 6410/6510 are a big pain atm :) | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | possible, though both those bugs seem a bit late for the symptoms I'm seeing at least | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | superm1: you might also try 'set gfxpayload=keep' | 18:14 |
| superm1 | vanhoof, this is a UMA 6410, if I boot the DVD in legacy mode, i do get gfx. it's only in EFI mode that the black screen comes up | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | (in grub, before the 'linux' command) | 18:14 |
| === ivoks is now known as ivoks_bbl | ||
| cjwatson | I'm not sure why I left that out, I think that was an oversight; you need gfxpayload=keep on EFI or you don't get a console | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | well, you might get a KMS one | 18:14 |
| manjo | cjwatson, logs are in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~manjo/logs/logs-respiniso.tgz | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | manjo: right, as I thought | 18:16 |
| manjo | cjwatson, if you put in a fix today... will we have it in tomorrows spin of the iso ? | 18:17 |
| manjo | cjwatson, or are you planning on repinning ? | 18:17 |
| manjo | respinning | 18:17 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, unfortunately no improvements with set gfxpayload=keep on the line before the linux line | 18:19 |

| ara | mdeslaur, mmm, it did | 18:45 |

| Sarvatt | manjo: you rebooted? thanks for checking! | 18:46 |
| ara | mdeslaur, I have running another machine that has that ISO associated as well | 18:46 |
| manjo | Sarvatt, ofcourse! | 18:46 |
| mdeslaur | ara: as a test, could you try copying it over? | 18:47 |
| ara | mdeslaur, copying what¿ | 18:47 |
| Sarvatt | manjo: have you tried maverick on that machine to see if its any different by any chance? | 18:47 |
| mdeslaur | ara: make a copy of the iso, to see if it's the fact that you're using it twice that libvirt doesn't like | 18:48 |
| ara | mdeslaur, OK, will do | 18:48 |
| manjo | Sarvatt, did few weeks back and same results .. yes was going to try the new beta spin that just happend | 18:48 |
| ara | mdeslaur, or I can try shutting down the other machine, for that matters | 18:49 |

| hunger | Could someboby please sync sash from debian unstable into maverick to fix bug no. 609201? Thanks! | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | hunger: nothing to sync, it's 3.7-10 in both | 19:22 |
| hunger | cjwatson: Can you then please have it rebuild? | 19:23 |
| cjwatson | hunger: can you first check that a no-change rebuild fixes it? I don't have a 64-bit machine terribly convenient | 19:23 |
| hunger | cjwatson: It coredumps right on start for all amd64 mashines I tried it on. The version I build from the debian/unstable package works fine. | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | well, the unstable source package is the same as the maverick one, so I guess that's good enough | 19:24 |
| * hunger wonders what went wrong with the package then if it is the same sources. | 19:24 | |
| cjwatson | built at different times with different toolchains. did you build it from unstable using a current maverick system? | 19:25 |
| hunger | cjwatson: A fairly current maverick, yes. | 19:25 |
| hunger | cjwatson: Less than 1 week old. | 19:26 |
| cjwatson | I've uploaded a no-change rebuild | 19:26 |
| cjwatson | would appreciate a check that that fixes it, once it buils | 19:26 |
| cjwatson | *builds | 19:26 |
| hunger | cjwatson: Sure. | 19:27 |
| Shock | I've modified the nethogs package to adapt to terminal size changes. How do I generate a patch suitable and useful for inclusion in Ubuntu? | 19:30 |
| njin | ev, cjwatson: hello, i want to help in triaging Ubiquity, is possible ? Actually i'm on bugsquad under mentoring of pedro_ | 19:43 |

| Shock | bzzz | 20:16 |
| cjwatson | Shock: what wiki page have you already looked at, and what did you find confusing about it? | 20:19 |
| cjwatson | that would be easier than telling you it all from scratch | 20:19 |
| cjwatson | Shock: (fundamentally, any patch in 'diff -u' format will be usable, though; depends whether you want to bother with the sponsorship process) | 20:20 |
| Shock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems | 20:20 |
| Shock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff | 20:20 |
| Shock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Patches | 20:20 |
| Shock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 20:20 |
| Chipzz | Shock: yes, but the 3 first all describe different things | 20:21 |
| Shock | too much info; I'm not able to discern which applies to my usecase: I've modified a program and I want to make the modifications available to Ubuntu | 20:21 |
| Chipzz | Shock: I'll try to summarize (from the urls) | 20:22 |
| Shock | would it be sufficient it I opened a bug in launchpad and attached my diff? | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | are you familiar with producing patches in general? | 20:22 |
| Shock | yes | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | Shock: yes, it would | 20:22 |
| Shock | i've already produced the diff | 20:22 |
| === ivoks_bbl is now known as ivoks | ||
| Shock | thanks, I'll do that then | 20:23 |
| Chipzz | Shock: 3) is normal patch; 2) is inter-deb-version diffs (to see what changed between 2 uploads; takes the package as a whole into consideration) | 20:23 |
| Shock | any particular format the patch needs to be in? | 20:23 |
| cjwatson | then just do that. there are more minutiae involved if what you're trying to do is to produce a new version of the package that somebody can just upload | 20:23 |
| cjwatson | which is useful if you're in training to become an Ubuntu developer | 20:23 |
| Chipzz | and 1) is a system to *apply* patches (i fyou have multiple in 1 package) | 20:23 |
| cjwatson | but if you just want to submit a drive-by patch, then a unified diff ('diff -u') is sufficient | 20:24 |
| Shock | cool | 20:24 |
| Chipzz | (1) is closely related to *building* the packages; 2) is entirely not) | 20:24 |
| Shock | which of the urls I listed apply to 1, 2 and which to 3? | 20:25 |
| Chipzz | lemme rephrase that: 1) only gets involved when building packages | 20:25 |
| Chipzz | 1) 21:20 < Shock> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems | 20:25 |
| Chipzz | 2) 21:20 < Shock> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff | 20:25 |
| Chipzz | 3) 21:20 < Shock> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Patches | 20:25 |
| Shock | those are 2, i guess | 20:25 |
| Chipzz | nope | 20:26 |
| Chipzz | debdiff's are used to "audit" uploads | 20:26 |
| Shock | oh, i see | 20:26 |
| Chipzz | lets say cjwatson wants to upload a new version of a package; ppl *may* (but will not always) request a debdiff | 20:27 |
| Chipzz | the debdiff will contain all changes and hence you can see what changed on the source-level | 20:27 |
| Chipzz | to see if no unnecessary changes were introduced for example | 20:27 |
| Chipzz | patch-systems are more of this sort | 20:28 |
| Chipzz | lets say you have a package, and you make 2 seperate changes wrt the upstream source, lets call them patch_a.diff and patch_b.diff | 20:29 |
| Chipzz | now you need a way to easily apply those to the source | 20:29 |
| Shock | i know what patch systems are, e.g. quilt | 20:29 |
| Chipzz | ah k | 20:29 |
| Chipzz | good | 20:29 |
| Shock | i'm not sure how they fit in the overall picture in package development | 20:29 |
| Chipzz | trijntje: Dutch or Flamish? :) | 20:30 |
| Shock | especially as I've seen several patch systems used | 20:30 |
| Shock | dpatch, cdbs... | 20:30 |
| trijntje | Chipzz: Yeah, Dutch | 20:30 |
| Chipzz | they're a convenience feature mostly | 20:30 |
| Chipzz | Shock: and which one... is a matter of taste | 20:31 |
| Shock | so, if I'm a package maintainer I can use the one that suits my taste? | 20:31 |
| Chipzz | trijntje: nick gives you away ;) | 20:31 |
| Chipzz | yes | 20:31 |
| Chipzz | BUT | 20:31 |
| Chipzz | if you're just changing someone elses package | 20:31 |
| Chipzz | that's a different thing | 20:31 |
| Shock | even though others that might want to contribute to my package will need to learn the one I chose for my package? | 20:32 |
| Chipzz | for security uploads, the introduction of patch systems is disallowed for example | 20:32 |
| Chipzz | yeah | 20:32 |
| Shock | isn't that a higher barrier to entry for drive-by contributors? | 20:32 |
| trijntje | Chipzz: so it wasnt my IP ;) | 20:32 |
| Chipzz | trijntje allmost instantly reminded me of katrijn(tje) :) | 20:33 |
| Chipzz | Shock: not necessarily | 20:34 |
| Shock | Chipzz: how so? :) | 20:34 |
| Chipzz | Shock: I don't think most maintainers require you to submit patches to them in the form of their preferred patch system | 20:34 |
| Chipzz | it only applies if you're doing an upload | 20:34 |
| Chipzz | like cjwatson said, regular patch will be just fine | 20:35 |
| Shock | Chipzz: if you use cdbs in your package and I only know dpatch, don't I need to learn cdbs? | 20:35 |
| Chipzz | Shock: you just submit a regular patch | 20:35 |
| Shock | ok | 20:35 |
| trijntje | Chipzz: I just picked a random dutch sounding name, but now people think i'm female and a famous singer.. | 20:35 |
| Chipzz | unless you want to try building it yourself *integrated* into the patch system | 20:35 |
| Shock | thanks Chipzz, cjwatson | 20:35 |
| Chipzz | Shock: but nothing prevents you from just hacking on the package and submitting a patch resulting from that | 20:36 |
| Chipzz | although the maintainer will have to convert it to his favorite patch system, and hence it may take longer to process | 20:36 |
| Chipzz | but that's a different matter :) | 20:36 |
| Shock | :) | 20:36 |
| manjo | cjwatson, if I set -x in grub_installer script where does the the messages go ? | 20:40 |

| ev | manjo: I'm going to take a look at that bug first thing in the morning. Before I go though, are you able to reproduce it with a CD, or is this only occurring on the USB disk? What did you create it with, is it a stock Ubuntu image? | 23:14 |
