|---|---|---|
| james_w` | slangasek: if you are preparing a new upstream at the same time then you can use merge-upstream by tricking it | 00:13 |
| james_w` | slangasek: otherwise you can basically do the same thing, and re-merge the same version that is currently there | 00:13 |
| slangasek | james_w`: how does that work? :) | 00:13 |
| slangasek | james_w`: I consistently get an error whining that it can't find the previous upstream version | 00:13 |
| james_w` | slangasek: you find a revision that you want to be the current tip of the "upstream" branch and tag that with upstream-$UPSTREAM_VERSION | 00:14 |
| james_w` | that will stop it whining about that | 00:14 |
| maco | james_w`: does this have a wiki page? | 00:14 |
| james_w` | after you have done the import then you can delete that tag again | 00:14 |
| james_w` | maco: it does not, as far as I know | 00:14 |
| maco | bcurtiswx was trying to do a merge with upstream last night and my bzr-fu started whimpering | 00:14 |
| maco | (he was asking me for help) | 00:14 |
| slangasek | james_w`: oho, thanks | 00:15 |
| james_w` | ah, his was straight forward if it was the case I helped him with earlier | 00:15 |
| james_w` | that should have a wiki page at least | 00:15 |
| * maco grumbles about varying definitions of "straightforward" | 00:16 | |
| james_w` | heh | 00:16 |
| james_w` | I mean the usual case, not trying to do it for the first time like Steve | 00:17 |
| ev | manjo: thanks | 00:19 |
| james_w` | maco: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/NewUpstreamVersion | 00:28 |
| maco | james_w`: thanks | 00:28 |
| slangasek | james_w`: seems I need to create tags for both the old and the new upstream versions? | 00:57 |
| james_w` | slangasek: it should be creating the new upstream version for you | 00:58 |
| james_w` | slangasek: what command are you running? | 00:59 |
| slangasek | ah, so I only needed the one for the old upstream version | 00:59 |
| slangasek | I misunderstood then | 00:59 |
| james_w` | yeah, it just needs a hint of where to start, then it will do the rest | 00:59 |
| slangasek | bzr merge-upstream --version 1.1.2 ../pam_1.1.2.orig.tar.gz ../bzr/bzr/Linux-PAM/tags/Linux-PAM-1_1_2/ | 00:59 |
| james_w` | the error you were getting to start with was that it didn't know where to pick up the "upstream branch" from, and so didn't want to act | 00:59 |
| james_w` | that looks fine | 00:59 |
| * slangasek nods | 01:00 | |
| slangasek | thanks :) | 01:00 |
| slangasek | james_w`: so should this "create the tag yourself" hack be documented on the wiki page? | 01:32 |
| james_w` | slangasek: probably, yes | 01:59 |

| msehudi | Hi guys. I'm a noob in kernel development. How do you load and use a kernel after building it? | 04:11 |
| RAOF | msehudi: Sounds like you want to be in #ubuntu-kernel. You need to set up your bootloader to load the new kernel, but if you're using the Ubuntu build process that'll be done automatically when you install the package. | 04:13 |

| smb | pitti, Morning Martin, could you put on your danger sensitive sunglasses and accept the uploaded Lucid kernel and lbm for sru? (in the case of lbm it probably makes sense to accept both -24 and -25?) | 09:03 |
| pitti | smb: ok, will do an SRU round | 09:21 |
| smb | pitti, \o/ | 09:21 |
| pitti | smb: can you please reupload lbm with -v to include the last two changelog records? | 09:32 |
| smb | pitti, Which one? The 24 or th -25 or both | 09:32 |
| pitti | smb: the -25 one | 09:33 |
| pitti | smb: same for linux-meta | 09:33 |
| smb | pitti, ok, can do | 09:33 |
| * pitti rejects the current uploads | 09:33 | |
| pitti | smb: thanks | 09:33 |
| pitti | smb: linux was uploaded twice (same version), so I'll reject the older upload and look at the newer; ok? | 09:34 |
| pitti | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+queue?queue_state=1 FYI | 09:34 |
| pitti | one 18 hours ago, one 11 h | 09:34 |
| smb | hm, let me check | 09:34 |
| smb | I am unaware of the second | 09:34 |
| smb | pitti, How on earth would it be possible to upload the same version twice? | 09:35 |
| pitti | smb: you can upload as many broken or duplicated versions to the unapproved queue as you like :) | 09:35 |
| pitti | but you can only accept one version | 09:35 |
| smb | pitti, Hm, I thought it would not let me upload anything again when it had gone into accept | 09:36 |
| pitti | right | 09:36 |
| pitti | but it wasn't accepted yet | 09:36 |
| pitti | it's in "unapproved" | 09:36 |
| smb | right, for some reason I thought I need to increment the version even then. But so I can upload the just rejected packages only with more history | 09:37 |
| pitti | correct | 09:37 |
| pitti | usually, when this happens, I look at the most recently uploaded one | 09:37 |
| smb | Probably ok, though very weird. I am pretty sure I did upload only once | 09:38 |
| smb | ... | 09:38 |
| smb | If I am not dream walking | 09:38 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, hi | 09:38 |
| pitti | hello tkamppeter, how are you? | 09:38 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, fine, as you have perhaps seen from earlier IRC discussion and from my weekly report I have cleaned up another 18 MB from the installed default system. | 09:39 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: from foomatic ppds? right, I saw that; nice work! | 09:40 |
| smb | pitti, Hm, one seems to contain the orig tar.gz and the other not... Mine should not... | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | 18MB> coo | 09:40 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: that's uncompressed in the installed system, right? the .deb size shouldn't be affected that much, since that's already compressed, right? | 09:41 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have replaced the Foomatic XML by a compressed PPD archive, saving said space and made printer driver listing (the "searching for drivers" in s-c-p, or simply "lpinfo -m") significantly faster. | 09:41 |
| pitti | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20100901/ is still the same size as a few days ago | 09:41 |
| smb | pitti, Is it possible for you to see who did the upload? | 09:41 |
| smb | pitti, Of the newer one | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | pitti: well, there was some language-pack fiddling in there | 09:42 |
| pitti | smb: not really, I'm afraid | 09:42 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I could not upload due to beta freeze. I have prepared all packages. | 09:42 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ah, that explains it | 09:42 |
| pitti | cjwatson: oh, just saw in the seeds; so something else got added to the CDs recently, or grew? | 09:43 |
| smb | pitti, Ok, hold off. I want to investigate there | 09:43 |
| pitti | cjwatson: the day after the OO.o dependency fix landed, they all fit | 09:43 |
| pitti | smb: okay | 09:43 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, in terms of .deb files it saves only half a meg, but there is still the speed advantage, which is probably much bigger when running a live system from a CD-ROM. | 09:44 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, what has to be done to get the change onto the CDs are two steps, first me uploading the changed packages and then a core-dev changing the seeds from pulling foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine to pulling foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. | 09:45 |
| cjwatson | pitti: the update-seeds cron job was stuck on a lock, so seed changes weren't being applied properly | 09:45 |
| cjwatson | which caused considerable confusion | 09:46 |
| pitti | ah, I see | 09:46 |
| pitti | cjwatson: oh, and the other issue is that we recently got a langpack update, so the delta packages aren't empty | 09:47 |
| pitti | cjwatson: it's not a biggie for beta, and for final we'll coordinate this more carefully | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | nod | 09:49 |
| pitti | smb: sconklin pinged me last night, so maybe it was him? | 09:49 |
| pitti | smb: ok, please let me know when I should look at them | 09:49 |
| pitti | at least the lucid SRU queue is empty except for this linux upload now | 09:50 |
| OdyX | pitti: sorry to ask, but where as the udev upload been stuck ? (I don't know the exact process, but saw you'r tagging in the bzr.) | 09:50 |
| pitti | OdyX: it's held in unapproved; we are in beta freeze | 09:51 |
| pitti | OdyX: it'll go in tomorrow evening, if things go as planned | 09:51 |
| OdyX | ah okay. But there's reasonable hope to get that in, right ? | 09:52 |
| cjwatson | not for beta | 09:52 |
| pitti | OdyX: not into beta | 09:52 |
| cjwatson | it'll go in for final | 09:52 |
| pitti | OdyX: but certainly into maverick | 09:52 |
| === adamjiang is now known as jcadam | ||
| === jcadam is now known as adamjiang | ||
| pitti | OdyX: people installing beta can just upgrade | 09:52 |
| OdyX | okay. Otherwise I can release an usb-modeswitch not requiring the /lib/udev/hotplug.functions... | 09:52 |
| pitti | OdyX: don't worry | 09:53 |
| tkamppeter | OdyX, hi | 09:53 |
| OdyX | pitti: Okay. Thanks for your time to explain the basics of Ubuntu release management. :-> | 09:54 |
| OdyX | tkamppeter: hi | 09:54 |
| pitti | heh | 09:54 |
| tkamppeter | OdyX, if you want to see how my new replace Foomatic-XML-by-PPD-package looks like, all is on git now. | 09:54 |
| OdyX | tkamppeter: yeah, saw that. As Debian is in freeze, I probably wont take a look before its release, but thanks for your work ! | 09:55 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, one question about the migration from old XML ugliness to the new lightweight PPD archive: I made foomatic-db conflicting with the new foomatic-db-compressed-ppds and plan to replace foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine by foomatic-db-compressed-ppds in the seeds (ubuntu-desktop, ...). Would the migration work then or do I need more. | 09:57 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: the new packages should conflicts:/replaces: the old ones; without the replaces:, apt will hold back the new ones instead of installing the new ones and removing the old ones | 09:58 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, especially I want to avoid a "Replaces: foomatic-db" in foomatic-db-compressed-ppds as the PPD archive does not exactly replace foomatic-db, it only provides the PPDs to CUPS. | 09:58 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: can you install them in parallel? | 09:59 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: well, but the net result is the same, it supplies PPDs to cups; so replaces: wouldn't be really wrong from a semantics point of view? | 09:59 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, yes, but I want that foomatic-db is removed for updaters so that once they get the space free, second there are no duplicate listings of the same PPDs, once coming from XML and second coming from the archive, and third there is no XML being processed making "lpinfo -m" slow. | 10:00 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: right; so I think C:/R: will do fine | 10:01 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so if I do the "Replaces:" can I be sure that the Build-depends: foomatic-db in the gutenprint package really installs foomatic-db on the buildds and not foomatic-db-compressed-ppds? This build process needs the actual XML. | 10:02 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: it doesn't affect build-depends | 10:02 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: the buildd chroots have neither pacakage installed, so they will install whatever you specify in the B-Dep: line | 10:03 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so build-depends always pulls the native packages and never Provides:? | 10:03 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I think what you mean is "provides" | 10:03 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: but first, real pacakges are preferred over virtual ones, and second I don't think you need provides her | 10:03 |
| pitti | e | 10:03 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, s/Provides/Replaces/ | 10:04 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: right; if there is a package "a" and a package "b" which "provides: a", an apt-get install a will always install a, not b | 10:04 |
| pitti | (unless b is already installed) | 10:04 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: replaces don't have that kind of magic | 10:05 |
| tkamppeter | OdyX, would it be a problem for Debian if I add Replaces: foomatic-db to foomatic-db-compressed-ppds? | 10:06 |
| pitti | it would be weird _not_ to do it in Debian | 10:07 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: Conflicts: too, please; otherwise the other package wouldn't be removed | 10:07 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, adding the C:/R: (C: was already there, adding R:). | 10:09 |
| smb | pitti, apparently the second upload was done by tim. It is mostly the same, just is an upload which contains the orig.tar.gz. I would prefer to re-upload my version which has the diff only. Could you reject that currently uploaded one? | 10:19 |
| pitti | smb: well, can do, but having the orig.tar.gz doesn't hurt really | 10:20 |
| pitti | it'll be rejected if it's different from teh archive, and ignored otherwise | 10:20 |
| smb | Hm, ok. The rest was the same. Then lets go with this one | 10:20 |
| smb | And I prepare the lbms and meta | 10:21 |
| pitti | okay | 10:28 |
| ricotz | sebner, hello | 10:31 |

| tjaalton | pitti: I tried to backport cups from maverick to lucid to see if it fixes a bug I'm seeing, but the packaging fails when it complains about changed libcups2 symbols | 10:36 |
| pitti | tjaalton: oh, what's the symbol diff? | 10:37 |
| tjaalton | pitti: so should I just skip that test in the build, or? | 10:37 |
| tjaalton | pitti: hang on | 10:37 |
| pitti | tjaalton: I made it quite picky on symbol changes recently, since a previous upload wreaked a lot of havoc due to a changed gnutls | 10:37 |

| pitti | export DPKG_GENSYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL | 10:39 |
| tjaalton | pitti: alright, I'll give it a go, thanks | 10:40 |
| pitti | smb: ugh, quite an update :) | 10:41 |
| smb | pitti, Ok, lbm and meta for -25 uploaded again. | 10:41 |
| smb | pitti, Heh, yeah four upstream stable version have some footprint | 10:42 |
| smb | Unfortunately we were delayed quite a bit by security | 10:42 |
| smb | and sprints | 10:42 |
| tjaalton | smb: does it have the "slow umount" fix?-) | 10:42 |
| smb | tjaalton, yes | 10:42 |
| tjaalton | smb: sweet | 10:43 |

| pitti | smb: FYI, I'll be on vac this Friday and next week, in case there are problems with this | 10:53 |
| pitti | ricotz: will do later; need to get back to some other work | 10:54 |

| htorque | hello, i'm looking for the right package to report a bug on: whenever the X server fails to start, i'm stuck at the plymouth splash screen (five red dots, system only reacts to sysrqs) rather than getting a login prompt. | 13:32 |
| raphink | htorque: I'd say upstart | 13:41 |
| raphink | just a guess though | 13:41 |
| G | raphink: I was thinking more plymouth/xorg package for relevant video card | 13:41 |
| G | it sounds like more a framebuffer issue | 13:42 |
| raphink | G: the problem is not that X doesn't start, it is that it doesn't switch to a console login | 13:42 |
| htorque | exactly | 13:42 |
| G | well the thing is, plymouth really does start X | 13:43 |
| raphink | so it seems the problem is in dependency resolution of starting services | 13:43 |
| G | so it's more the transition isn't working | 13:43 |
| raphink | plymouth starts X and fails | 13:43 |
| G | htorque: out of interest, what Xorg/vid card are you running? | 13:43 |
| raphink | then plymouth should still die and leave the user with a way to log in | 13:43 |

| cjwatson | manjo,cking,superm1: interesting progress on figuring out what's wrong with EFI boot on this Dell laptop | 14:55 |
| cjwatson | firstly, the grub newreloc branch doesn't help | 14:55 |
| cjwatson | however, booting a 32-bit kernel rather than a 64-bit kernel works just fine | 14:56 |
| cking | cjwatson, that's very useful data point. wonder why that is | 14:57 |
| cking | cjwatson, so the 64 bit kernel is being executed and hangs, or just never gets executed? | 14:59 |
| cjwatson | cking: I can check again, but I believe your beeping kernel reached the beeps | 15:00 |
| cjwatson | er, led-flashing, that is | 15:00 |
| cking | cjwatson, hrm. Have you tried booting into a non-debug 64 bit kernel? | 15:01 |

| jacekmigacz | Question about GDM: how to get a pointer for structures hidden under the hood as priv attributes? For example how to aquire GdmGreeterSession.panel? | 15:20 |

| cjwatson | cking: are we going to have to bisect LED-flashing at various points or something gross like that? I've confirmed that the LED-flashing kernel you gave me at the sprint does indeed flash the LEDs | 15:27 |
| cking | cjwatson, this is the point where I boot with quiet and splash disabled - if I don't get any console output then I fall back to putting flashy LED code into the kernel in the initial boot stages to see where it fails | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | I've not been using quiet or splash at all | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | could I have the exact patch you used for http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/uefi/? I couldn't see exactly how to plumb in your assembler | 15:27 |
| cking | cjwatson, lemme dig it up | 15:28 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: Curious about something regarding openssh. Is there any reason the upstart job doesn't run it with -D (so that it doesn't have to use expect fork) ? | 15:29 |
| cking | cjwatson, email'd | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: I don't recall. Probably because I don't regard 'expect fork' as a particular hardship and wanted to keep it as close to the same as prior init scripts as possible | 15:32 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: sounds reasonable. One issue I'm seeing is that if you break the config file, and do 'start ssh' the start command returns as successful....which is confusing. | 15:34 |
| cking | cjwatson, however, I think one needs to shove the LED flashy code into x86_64_start_kernel() in arch/x86/kernel/head64.c - also, I suggest using earlyprintk=vga | 15:40 |
| cjwatson | will vga work here? | 15:41 |
| cking | cjwatson, not 100% sure. It's been a while since I had to resort to this. | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | doesn't appear to do much with an unmodified kernel | 15:42 |
| cking | cjwatson, that's why it's probably best to see if the kernel made it through x86_64_start_kernel() with flashy LEDs as a starting place | 15:43 |
| manjo | cjwatson, just sent you info in a mail | 15:43 |

| superm1 | cking, cjwatson here's the output from a serial console: http://paste.ubuntu.com/486907/ | 19:34 |
| manjo | superm1, were you able to install maverick on EFI based system ? | 19:38 |
| manjo | superm1, or did you have to hack ? | 19:38 |
| superm1 | manjo, that's booting from the amd64 daily in efi mode | 19:39 |

| manjo | superm1, reason I ask is yesterday I was not able to install | 19:39 |
| manjo | superm1, this is live CD ? | 19:39 |
| superm1 | yes | 19:39 |
| manjo | ah | 19:39 |
| manjo | ok | 19:39 |
| cking | superm1, looks like the calls to the EFI firmware are screwing up badly there | 19:40 |
| manjo | superm1, what version of EFI ? | 19:41 |
| manjo | 2.1 ? 2.3 ? | 19:41 |
| superm1 | how can I check? | 19:41 |
| cking | concurs with what cjwatson was seeing, e.g. it's fairly early in the kernel boot, just after x86_64_start_kernel() was entered | 19:41 |
| manjo | superm1, should say in your bios I guess | 19:41 |
| superm1 | manjo, not seeing it anywhere in the firmware settings at least | 19:42 |
| manjo | superm1, I have a fairly new intel engg test bed with 2.1 and live CD works fine with 2.1 | 19:43 |
| manjo | when I hit F2 to get to fw | 19:43 |

| manjo | superm1, I think you load the legacy bios 1st, then use duet to do EFI, which intel EFI guru says can cause memory map issues, leacy does not have any memory map, so using duet to do memory map later you might have issues. Intel says only dell does this, and duet is not recommended to use on productiuon systems. | 20:09 |
| manjo | superm1, so this could be a dell EFI implementation issue you are hitting | 20:09 |
| superm1 | however EFI worked with Windows 7... | 20:10 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure on the actual implementation detail here though if duet was used | 20:10 |
| manjo | yeah they say using duet can cause strangeness.. if it works on their waybridge implenentation then it should be the duet memorymap that is causeing the problems | 20:11 |
| manjo | superm1, can you check with your bios ppls ? | 20:11 |

| cjwatson | skaet: 612370> looks fair enough to remove | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | hunger: glad to hear it | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | superm1: oho, information. must get myself a serial console setup ... | 22:36 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: on Breaks/Replaces vs. Conflicts/Replaces/Provides , my thinking is that anything that will build against libdbi0-dev will also build against libdbi-dev .. and according to debian policy, thats the correct way to make sure there's only one of something that is installed and provides the same dependencies. | 22:36 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: IIRC, breaks is more for packages that configure the system in incompatible ways | 22:38 |
| lifeless | SpamapS: breaks/conflicts is not about configuration | 22:39 |
| lifeless | SpamapS: its about what phase of the dpkg transaction the graph incompatibility is permitted at | 22:39 |
| SpamapS | "When one binary package declares that it breaks another, dpkg will refuse to allow the package which declares Breaks be installed unless the broken package is deconfigured first, and it will refuse to allow the broken package to be reconfigured." | 22:39 |
| lifeless | yes | 22:39 |
| lifeless | configuration in the very narrow sense of debian policy, not in the sense of 'oh, and I put my files in /srv' | 22:40 |
| lifeless | a configured package isn't necessarily useful, but it is in a valid state to *run* | 22:40 |
| SpamapS | right, in the maintainer scripts configure, etc. right? | 22:40 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: there was a recent change to Debian policy to be explicit that Breaks+Replaces is better than Conflicts+Replaces in nearly all situations. | 22:40 |
| lifeless | cjwatson: \o/ | 22:41 |
| cjwatson | that's what ScottK is referring to. | 22:41 |
| lifeless | cjwatson: I must have missed that update going by | 22:41 |
| cjwatson | 3.9.0 or thereabouts I think | 22:41 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: In this case, I also want to Provide the old package, since anything that build-depends on libdbi0-dev will build just fine w/ libdbi-dev... or should we just force the issue and make all of them change their control files? | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | the only reason Conflicts was needed with Replaces was to stop you going back to the old version with the replaced files, and the agreement on -policy was that Breaks was sufficient for that. This is *independent* of anything to do with Provides. | 22:42 |
| SpamapS | as I type that, it seems its better to fix all the build-depending source packages rather than have them silently build against libdbi-dev.. :-P | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | Providing a specific version of a library in a different version seems kind of evil though. | 22:43 |
| SpamapS | well the original author should have named it libdbi-dev .. but didn't, they named it libdbi0-dev... | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | libdbi0-dev Provides: libdbi-dev would be reasonable; libdbi-dev (unless it's version 0) Provides: libdbi0-dev is kind of weird | 22:44 |
| lifeless | yeah | 22:44 |
| SpamapS | totally agree | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | if it's still version 0 or otherwise API-compatible then I think it's fine | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | as in if it's just a renaming, not associated with a major version bump | 22:45 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, tomorrow manoj said he is going to come on site to see the panic in person and use mine. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Docking_Station/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=430-3114&mfgpid=206120&chassisid=8560 is the one you are looking for (there is a simple one too, but it doesn't include serial) | 22:45 |
| SpamapS | and we have to touch all the build-rdepends anyway because they may be using libdbi0=0.8.3, which is not ABI compatible with libdbi0=0.8.2, which they most likely built against | 22:45 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: I'm for clarity over magical build successes, so I'll drop the provides, and change conflicts to breaks. | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | I can't say I'm keen on paying $200 just for sercon ;-) | 22:46 |
