cjwatsonplease don't reassign such bugs to debconf in any event.  I can't do anything with them there00:10

ogra_cmpccjwatson, well, you could dump the processlist somewhere from debconf with that error :)00:12

IDWMasterI'm working on porting some networking stuff for my business from windows to Ubuntu. It was originally written in .NET, so I was considering MonoDevelop; then I heard of KDevelop (C++), which also worked amazingly well. So I was wondering if anything is 'better' about using KDevelop or MonoDevelop as an IDE.02:15
IDWMasterIs there anything better about one or the other?02:17
psusiis there a channel specific to theme issues?  the new default theme in maverick apparently uses a dark color for the default window foreground color.... the gnome cpu frequency monitor applet seems to use this for its font when displaying on the pannel, which also has a dark background, making it impossible to read.  Is the applet using the wrong theme attribute, or is the theme broken?03:25
maxbHi, for a new upstream version update, if there are no Ubuntu specific changes, and it would normally be a Debian sync, except Debian's frozen, is it still appropriate to use -0ubuntu1 ?03:34
maxbOr, is this a case where it's reasonable to use -0build1, so the autosync happens automatically in natty?03:34
micahgmaxb: can it go into experimental?03:35
micahgyou can sync from there03:35
Sarvattmaxb: we just stick that stuff in experimental and sync from that for X stuff03:35
maxbexperimental is already occupied with an upstream beta03:35
Sarvatttoo slow! :)03:35
maxbpackage is bzr, ftr03:35
* micahg would think to use -0ubuntu1 and then file a sync bug when natty opens or the first version becomes available03:37
micahgmaxb: sid and squeeze have different versions, you can't upload to sid?03:42
RAOFNo.  Sid's reserved for things which should end up in Squeeze, and that's frozen.03:43
micahgRAOF: well, the package isn't migrating anyways and the versions are different03:43
maxbJelmer says sid and squeeze only have different versions because of a particularly unfortunate freeze timing, and doesn't want to compound the difference03:43
micahgsid has 2.2.0-1 and squeeze had 2.1.2-103:43
* micahg doesn't see the difference between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 in sid at this point...03:44

pathogenI'm just curious, but how will client side window handling affect things like kwin window tabbing?06:05
RAOFThey won't, unless kwin claims to support CSD.06:07
pathogenHmm06:08
pathogenSo, what's the benefit of client side windows then? Other than being bale to skin themselves06:08
pathogen*being able06:09
RAOFYou mean “client side *decorations* ”, here.06:09
pathogenright06:09
RAOFBoth GTK and Qt use client-side-windows already :)06:09
pathogenlol06:09
pathogenYes, so what's the benefit of using a client handled window decoration?06:09
RAOFOne benefit is that apps can skin themselves *consistently*06:10
pathogenit'll make window management a mess...06:10
RAOFWhy?06:10
RAOFApps are already able to skin themselves.  It's just a lot of effort to both skin yourself *and* be consistent with the rest of the desktop.06:10
pathogenWell, you say that apps will be able to skin themselves consistently, but in turn, there won't be a consistent theme of window decoration for all apps06:10
RAOFWhy not?06:11
RAOFApps can do this *right now* - Chromium does it, for example.06:11
pathogenIf you use emerald for example to skin your windows, the client side skinned ones will stand out06:11
RAOFRight.06:11
pathogenmy point exactly06:11
pathogenchromium sticks out like a sore thumb06:11
RAOFSo, emerald doesn't set the “I support CSD” bit, and nothing uses it.06:11
pathogenhmm06:12
RAOF(One of) the idea(s) of CSD is to allow apps to do something like Chromium but *without* sticking out like a sore thumb.06:12
pathogenSo, if using a window manager without the CSD bit, the application will still have full functionality?06:13
pathogenor will that be the app's developer's choice?06:13
RAOFPart of the app developer's choice.06:13
pathogenhm06:13
RAOFIt will mean that the *toolkit* (ie: GTK and Qt) won't draw the decorations.06:14
pathogenIs CSD being developed in qt right now?06:15
pathogenor is it just a gtk thing for the most part?06:15
RAOFI believe that Qt's been able to draw its own decorations forever.06:16
RAOF(essentially)06:16
pathogenI see06:16
pathogenI guess there's not much of hope of consistency between qt's window drawing style and gtk's window drawing style06:17
RAOFActually, probably more so if GTK goes CSD - after all, Qt currently sets a QtGtkStyle, so GTK apps fit in nicely.06:19
pathogenI've tested that out for a while on my machine, but it was a bit buggy at times06:20
pathogenI've had a lot of success with qtcurve themes though06:20
hyperairthose are themes designed to look the same06:20
hyperairas in reimplemented using different engines06:20
pathogenright06:21
pathogenbut it works very well06:21
hyperairof course it does.06:21
hyperairif you wish to reimplement every nice looking theme you have in both gtk+ and qt, i think you'll find that they all will work very well too.06:21
pathogenhmm06:21
hyperairwhat's needed is the reverse of the gtk style in qt06:22
hyperairwhich makes qt apps look at home in GNOME.06:22
hyperairafaik there was an engine for gtk that rendered using qt306:22
hyperairand it worked pretty good06:22
pathogenah I see what you mean06:22
hyperairthen qt4 arrived, and the reverse happened06:22
pathogenFor a second I thought you were talking about making qt4 look like gtk06:23
hyperairnot that i'm complaining though, i'm a GNOME user.06:23
pathogeninstead of gtk look like qt406:23
pathogenI agree completely06:23
hyperairqt4 already looks like gtk with that engine =)06:23
hyperairnow gtk needs to look like at4.06:23
pathogenyeah06:23
hyperairqt4*06:23
pathogenI have a lot of qt apps, more than gtk06:23
hyperairi have a lot of gtk apps, more than qt.06:24
pathogenmy gtk ones always look out of place06:24
hyperairit annoys me that kde themes are completely different, though06:24
pathogenhmm06:24
hyperairas in i can't use KDE applications without some kind of hack to make them use the gtk theme06:24
pathogenYeah, I wish there was a universal theme engine06:24
* hyperair nods06:24
pathogenThe closest I can get so far is qtcurve06:25
hyperaireither way i've tried switching to KDE a few times in the past, and could never figure out where all the settings were06:25
hyperairat least GNOME's settings are in intuitive places06:25
pathogenall in one place06:25
hyperaireven if they're missing.06:25
pathogensystemsettigns in the terminal will give you all of the settings for kde06:26
hyperairyes i know06:26
pathogen*systemsettings06:26
hyperairthe problem is hunting for the setting you want *inside* systemsettings06:26
hyperairthey're all over the place06:26
pathogenHave you used any of the more recent kde builds?06:26
hyperairin fact, i haven't been able to find the kwin settings for ages06:26
hyperairno, i don't think so06:26
hyperairi use what's in lucid06:26
hyperairwhen maverick arrives i might give it another go06:27
pathogenThey've cleaned it up a LOT in the newest 4.5 release06:27
hyperairbut i hate amarok.06:27
pathogenmeh06:27
hyperairamarok 1.4 was good06:27
hyperairamarok 2 was ¬_¬06:27
pathogen^ this06:27
pathogenYeah, I disliked amarok 2 for a long time06:27
hyperairbut banshee 1.x beats amarok 1.4 flat =p06:27
pathogenI still thing it has far too much bloat06:27
pathogenhmm06:27
hyperairthe interface is weird.06:27
pathogennever used banshee06:27
hyperairyou should give it a go.06:28
hyperairit's a GNOME app though06:28
pathogenyou should try out clementine06:28

hyperairlol06:29
pathogenI think it's already got debian packages ready to roll06:29
pathogenIt's basically a clone of amarok 1.4 written for qt406:30
hyperairah06:30
hyperairi see06:30
pathogenit's not up to feature parity yet, but it's still pretty nice06:30
pathogenvery light, integrated with the new projectM, and quick database searches06:31
hyperairnow here's one thing i really don't like about amarok 1.4: there isn't really a specific playlists view06:31
hyperairi mean there isn't any proper separation between "entire library" and "playlist"06:31
hyperairso i had to maintain them separately06:31
pathogenwhat do you mean?06:32
hyperairand every time i changed the playlist, it took a long time to repopulate.06:32
hyperairtry using banshee, you'll get what i mean.06:32
pathogenWait, I think I know what you mean06:32
hyperairhaha06:32
pathogenhmm06:32
hyperairapart from that, amarok's searching was #1 at that time.06:32
pathogenI never really had a problem with that06:33
hyperairuntil banshee appeared06:33
pathogenYeah, I'm not wuite sure what the amarok devs were thinking when they made amarok 206:33
pathogenPretty much everyone aknowledged that amarok 1.x was the best linux music player06:34
hyperairuntil banshee 1.x came along06:34
hyperairi jumped ship at 0.98.106:34
pathogenwell, just installed it and it froze...06:34
hyperairbanshee 0.1x was nowhere near amarok 1.4, but banshee 1.x is great06:35
hyperairwhich version?06:35
hyperairfroze, i mean.06:35
pathogen1.7.606:35
hyperairright, that one has a bug regarding a race condition with dbus06:35
hyperairbetween some dbus and network thing06:35
hyperair1.7.5 is fine06:35
hyperairand 1.8.0 will be fine.06:35
hyperairin fact, 1.8.0 is due today06:36
pathogenhm06:36
pathogenwell, I'm running updates now so it should get fixed (I hope)06:36
pathogenhave you tried clementine yet?06:37
hyperairnope.06:37
hyperairi might give it a go the next time i try kde406:37
hyperairwhich will be when i upgrade to maverick.06:37
pathogendo you not have any qt dependancies installed or something?06:37
hyperairi have.06:38
hyperairbut none of the -dev06:38
hyperairand i'm lazy to get those at the moment.06:38
pathogenyou don't have to build it06:38
pathogenit's already pre-built06:38
pathogeneven in a .deb06:38
hyperairbesieds, i have to get to packaging pdfmod, followed by libgpod and then banshee.06:38
hyperairit's more of a time constraints thing06:39
pathogen*facepalm*06:39
hyperairi've got a crapton of things to do, or i'll be spending time trying out compiz++ and posting backtraces06:39
pathogenI thought you really liked banshee?06:39
hyperairyes, i'm banshee's maintainer.06:39
pathogenwhy wouldn't you have it already XD06:40
hyperairbecause 1.8.0 hasn't been released?06:40
pathogenah06:40
hyperairand it's due for release today?06:40
hyperairi think i mentioned this earlier ¬_¬06:40
pathogenI see06:40
hyperairbanshee 1.8.0 will require libgpod from git.06:41
pathogenhmm06:41
hyperairbut libgpod is also getting released today06:41
pathogenon git?06:41
hyperairso i'll have to wait for that first06:41
hyperairno, it'll be released, as in 0.7.9506:41
pathogenoh I see06:41
pathogenSo is maintaining banshee something you do as a hobby, or is it your job?06:42
pathogenI'm just curious because I've always wanted to get involved in the FOSS scene, but didn't see how I could06:43
hyperairit's a hobby06:43
hyperairand also my starting point towards becoming an ubuntu developer06:44
pathogenSo, what does maintaining a project like banshee entail?06:45
TheMusohyperair: I assume at this point banshee 1.8 is not going into maverick, given main frozen, libgpod in main, etc.06:45
hyperairmore like maintaining the package.06:45
hyperairTheMuso: err oh crap, i forgot that.06:46
micahghyperair: banshee is still in universe06:46
pathogenSo you download the releases, compile them for various architectures, and then submit them to the repository?06:46
hyperairmicahg: but libgpod needs tobe updated.06:46
hyperairpathogen: no, i download the release, prepare the source package, and upload to ubuntu. it gets built for different architectures there06:46
pathogenOh, I see06:46
pathogenWhat usually has to be done to prepare the source?06:47
hyperairTheMuso: could we get a freeze exception for that, i wonder.06:47
TheMusohyperair: Given libgpod is on the Ubuntu CD, and given we are frozen for RC, and given that the absolute minimum amount of changes are generally made between RC and final, doubtful.06:48
TheMusoI could be wrong though.06:48
hyperair=\06:48
RAOFAnother option would be to 0-day SRU it.06:48
* hyperair sighs. it's always a rush during finalfreeze06:48
TheMusoYeah there is that...06:49
pathogenwhat is a 0-day SRU?06:49
RAOFAn update that's ready to go on release day.06:49
pathogenOh, I see06:49
RAOFBecause respinning/retesting the CDs is a significant effort.06:49
hyperairmaybe i could take that path.06:50
pathogenSo instead of adding it to the cd, you just make it a zero day update06:50
hyperairLaney, directhex: what do you think?06:50
* RAOF wishes mesa also had a “absolute minimum changes after RC” policy.06:50
TheMusoRAOF: heh06:50
ajmitchRAOF: that takes all the fun out of life06:50
RAOFIt was looking so good, too!06:50
RAOFThere were just a couple of commits since our very-nearly-RC1 snapshot.06:51
TheMusoRAOF: But is mesa on a timed release schedule?06:51
RAOFIt's expected to release on December 4.06:51
TheMusoRight.06:52
RAOFOh.06:52
RAOFWhoops.06:52

pathogenmesa is a graphics library for X?06:52
hyperairit's where all our 3d drivers are06:52
RAOFAnd, of course, the best thing to do post RC1 is to pull in the Sandybridge driver.06:52
pathogenI see06:53
TheMusoahem, lovely.06:53
RAOFBecause practically *nobody* has hardware driven by i965_dri.so :(06:54

RAOFChanges to the existing driver.06:54

hyperairRAOF: what! i do!06:55
pathogenwow06:55
TheMusoI can't stop laughing about it hear actually, its certainly not RC worthy in my book.06:55
pathogenbasically everyone here has that hardware06:55
RAOFmicahg, ajmitch: Hush.  Everyone knows that intel's GPUs are only aimed at a tiny niche audience :06:55
hyperairthose who want battery life?06:55
pathogenI can feel the sarcasm oozing from your text06:55
ajmitchof course, I don't have any current hardware with intel drivers, so they can't be that important :)06:56
TheMusoAfaik sandybridge is not really out in the wild yet.06:56
RAOFIndeed it is not.06:56
TheMusoSo it could have waited.06:56

hyperairi have no idea what connection there is between a graphics and ethernet chip, but somehow it succeeds.06:58
pathogenlol06:58
hyperairrmmod and modprobe again won't work. the only thing that works is suspending and resuming06:58
* ajmitch has the joys of using fglrx still06:58
hyperairor of course, a complete shutdown06:58
StevenKajmitch: Ewwww06:58
TheMusohyperair: I am surprised even that works.06:59
pathogenusing the compiz cube would randomly lock up my desktop 3 years ago06:59
hyperairTheMuso: which one?06:59
* StevenK hugs his GeForce, and then treats the burn06:59
ajmitchStevenK: yeah, it's not exactly easy to figure out why resuming often makes everything dog slow :)06:59
TheMusoSuspending and resuming.06:59
RAOFStevenK: Sizzle!06:59
hyperairTheMuso: yeah i was pretty surprised too.06:59
* TheMuso thought a shutdown would be the only way to clear it.06:59
* hyperair shrugs06:59
hyperairif i suspend and resume, then wait, say 15 minutes, i can game for another hour06:59
RAOFThe GPU does get fully shut down on suspend then reinitialised on resume, so it's possible.07:00
pathogenHas anyone got a compaq presario cq60 laptop?07:00
TheMusoRAOF: ah ok, makes more sense.07:00
RAOFPerhaps more surprising is that you can actually suspend at all ;)07:00
* micahg is guessing that's why apport shows 127 apport GPU crashes on resume :)07:00
hyperairRAOF: but what about the ethernet chip?07:00
pathogenThe laptop always hangs when suspending to the hard drive...07:00
RAOFhyperair: The GPU can scribble on arbitrary memory!07:00
hyperairRAOF: ...oh crap.07:01
hyperairpathogen: that's a feature.07:01
RAOFDoesn't _that_ make you feel safer with WebGL? :)07:01
pathogenhyperair: riiiiiiiight....07:01
hyperairRAOF: wtf is webgl? D=07:02
ajmitchRAOF: who needs their data anyway?07:02
pathogenwebgl is fairly cool07:02
ajmitchhyperair: the ability to play quake in the browser07:02
pathogenit allows a webpage to run script in opengl using your gpu07:02
RAOFhyperair: Pretty much what it says on the box: OpenGL for web clients.07:02
hyperairpathogen: yep, it's meant to spread the word that suspend-to-disk is a dumb concept and people should focus their efforts on making suspend-to-ram better.07:02
hyperairRAOF: heh lol =p07:02
pathogenMy old acer sapire could run for days while suspended07:03
hyperairso if the gpu can scribble on arbitrary memory, how come my apps aren't segfaulting?07:03
pathogenI was inpressed07:03
hyperairand only the transmission portion of my tg3 card hangs?07:03
hyperairreceiving still works07:03
RAOFhyperair: Probably because that's not the issue.  Or because your GPU has a bug which deterministically scribbles on a specific part of your ethernet card's MMIO space?07:04
* hyperair groans07:04
hyperair=(07:04
hyperairthen shouldn't rmmod and modprobe reinitialize the card?07:04
RAOFNot if the state is broken.07:05
pathogenthey reinitialize the kernel drivers07:05
RAOFI guess it could be possible for the GPU to be in a state the driver doesn't know how to recover from, but doesn't break suspend.07:05
pathogenbut, the problem prolly exists on the hardware level07:05
pathogenin that case, power cycling fixes it07:06
hyperairor suspend/resume =p07:06
pathogenperhaps, perhaps depending on the architecture of the computer07:07
hyperairin my case, graphics works, it's just the ethernet portion that hangs07:07

smbcjwatson, Its not really a big issue but has the option to set an apt proxy at installation time to be used for the downloads been dropped consciously or was it more a side effect. Or should I have read some installation notes which would have explained it to me where things have gone?09:25

ttxDaviey: about to leave, any question ?09:56
pittittx: that's a question for you really, but my gut feeling is that post RC is sufficient, with a  release note09:56
ttxpitti: that's my feeling too.09:56
smbcjwatson, ok, let me pay closer attention on it for the text installer, maybe I just missed it. Will have a look at the graphical again as well and talk to ev09:56

cjwatsonif you have a package that applies patches during the build, you can always 'debuild clean' before committing10:29
cjwatsonwhether to commit before building is mostly a matter of taste - it does mean that you're committing something you haven't tested yet10:30
tumbleweedbut you can always uncommit. I've run into some issues where if you don't commit, bzr bd builds with files that should have been deleted (bzr rm)10:31

YokoZarchrisccoulson: does firefox build with a .mozconfig yet or is it still a bunch of command switches in the build script?11:01
YokoZarchrisccoulson: sorry for not doing it myself this cycle I know I hinted I would at UDS11:01
chrisccoulsonYokoZar, no mozconfig11:01
YokoZarchrisccoulson: That should be the path forward then, as once you use the mozconfig file building with PGO is a switch11:02
chrisccoulsonYokoZar, yeah, i know ;)11:02
chrisccoulsonbut it's not just a straight switch to a mozconfig, as we have lots of logic to determine our build flags11:03
* YokoZar is a bit amazed Firefox performance wasn't a major priority for us years ago...11:03
YokoZarchrisccoulson: Yeah, I got about half way going into UDS-maverick before I got distracted with real life ;)11:03
chrisccoulsonwell, mozilla are working hard to make PGO work, but it's not straightforward.11:03
chrisccoulsonit doesn't work well at all with GCC < 4.511:03
YokoZarFair enough11:03
chrisccoulsonso, unless we use that version next cycle, PGO is a non-starter ;)11:04
YokoZarWell we ship GCC 4.5 in maverick, nothing wrong with building Firefox against it ;)11:04
chrisccoulsonwell, the version we ship will be using the standard toolchain ;)11:04

chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, well, if that's the case ;)11:05

dpmhey pitti. Do we have to discuss when the final full language export should be requested in LP? Arne tended to do it around 22:00 UTC on the day of the translation deadline, so I was thinking of just doing that.11:55
pittidpm: I already requested the full export; it shoudl be produced today, right?11:55
pittidpm: I'd like to prepare and test them tomorrow, so that they can build right after RC11:55
dpmpitti, no, the translations deadline is tomorrow11:55
pittidpm: but then the next export would only be on Sunday11:56
\shhmmm...a question to our famous gtk specialist: should libgdk-pixbuf-2.0 ship an .la file or not?11:56
dpmpitti, I guess we should have discussed that before. Translators look at the schedule and think they can still translate until tomorrow11:57
\sh(which should normally be in the -dev package of the lib)11:57
pittidpm: "until today" would be better, I think, otherwise we have zero margin for a rebuild11:57
pitti\sh: we try to get rid of those beasties as much as we can11:58
\shpitti: so I have to further patch ginspector to not use it11:58
pitti\sh: how does it use a .la file?11:59
dpmpitti, ok, that would be a good compromise, but next cycle we should look at putting the LanguagePackDeadline on the schedule on a day we can actually request the export with enough time11:59
\shhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/502566/11:59
pittidpm: *nod*; on a Wed or Sun would make sense, to align with the days when the exports actually happen11:59
pitti\sh: but usually the .la files need to be cleaned up from top to bottom, i. e. I'd expect GTK to be one of the last packages to drop it12:00

=== diwic_afk is now known as diwic
dpmpitti, ah, just a question. Why is it a problem that the next export is on Sunday? When requesting a full export, the export is produced straight away, isn't it? (well, not straight away, but just the time it takes to create the tarball)12:02
dpmso that does not have anything to do with the Sunday's export12:02
pittidpm: oh, I understood that differently12:03
pittidpm: I thought marking this checkbox means "the next time you create a langapck", not "do an extracurricular export NOW NOW NOW"12:04
pittiI flipped it on two days ago, and https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+language-packs has a full export from today12:04
pittiso I guess the export starts very early on Wed/Sun, not late12:04
pittiand the langpacks are then built late in a day, to allow some slack12:04
dpmpitti, let me check with danilo12:05
ScottKdpm: If you look at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/maverick_probs.html there are a number of -kde- language packs listed as uninstallable.  I checked and they are all missing updates to the underlying language-pack-foo  in the last export.  Are those going to be OK this last time around?12:17

cjwatsonit might not be that hard to fix this code ..13:03

dpmpitti, re: when the full export happens you were right - ticking the box in LP marks them to be exported on the next scheduled day13:54
dpmI've updated the exports schedule to include info on when the language pack builds happen:13:54
dpm    https://dev.launchpad.net/Translations/LanguagePackSchedule13:54
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
pittidpm: nice, thank you13:55
dpmnp :)13:55
dpmpitti, Considering that RCs are on Thursdays (the other milestones I guess are not that critical for language packs), I think the schedule is ok -> language pack exports on Tuesdays (and ready on Wed)13:55
dpmI think the only thing that we should consider next cycle is to move the LanguagePackDeadline 2 days before to match the exports schedule.13:55
dpmWhat do you think?13:55
pittidpm: so I'm currently considering using today's export (0929) for the final langpacks13:56
pittinext Sunday gets pretty tight13:56
pittiif they will work well, we have enough time, but if they fail, we are screwed13:57
dpmpitti, yeah, that's fine. I understand that there is no other way for this cycle13:57
dpmI'll let translators know.13:57
pittidpm: as usual we can do a first SRU a few weeks after release, whenever it's suitable13:58
dpmpitti, sure, that sounds good, my question is also what you think about moving the LanguagePackDeadline day in future releases to an earlier date ^13:58
pittidpm: I agree; Tuesday before the RC sounds appropriate13:59
dpmok thanks pitti13:59
pittithanks dpm!13:59
pittidpm: I'll start the langpack builds now14:01
Riddellpitti: why can't an export be done tomorrow?14:02
pittiRiddell: because the Great Gods of Launchpad's third commandment says "Maverick language packs are creates on Tuesdays and Saturdays"14:02
pittiRiddell: well, it can probably be done, but with some extra manual effort14:03
pittis/creates/created/14:03
Riddellwell seems the extra effort, launchpad are ment to do what we need them to do after all14:03
pittiRiddell: we can locally build the Saturday export and use it if they work, but I'd like to have today's export as a fallback at least14:04
Riddellas it is the translations I imported today because I was following the schedule won't get in and that'll annoy upstream lots14:04

cyphermoxasac: may be specific to Broadcom, or even STA :/14:25
cjwatson(test-build still running but looks a lot better)14:25
cyphermoxasac, mine is an aspire one ZG5, so atheros, iirc.14:26
persiacjwatson, Dunno about armel, but I have an interest in KVM/powerpc (and have added a few patches here and there for it), so I'd rather it wasn't P-a-s'd14:27
cjwatsonpersia: right, I'll definitely be un-P-a-s-ing it on powerpc at least14:29
persiaThanks.  Still a little shaky in maverick, but I'm fairly confident we'll have everything but the bootloader working in natty (still need to find a way around not being able to build arch:all packages on powerpc)14:30
cjwatsonyou could use grub214:31
cjwatsonit probably needs minor fixes but we'd welcome them14:32
persiaheh.  I'll take a look.  If that's easier than convincing Soyuz to build openfirmware, it may be the way to go.14:32
cjwatsonI have heard that it works on Debian, modulo some glitches with prefix (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597538)14:33
ubottuDebian bug 597538 in grub-ieee1275 "grub-ieee1275: grub-install needs to pass a --prefix option to grub-mkimage" [Important,Open]14:33
cjwatsonand grub-installer would need to be taught about it14:34
slangasekpitti: why would you OR the dbus with 'runlevel'?  dbus is not guaranteed to be started before entering the runlevel, it races in parallel14:34
cjwatsonbut those are relatively superficial things14:34
persiaThat's very promising.  I'll definitely take a deeper look at that, rather than fussing with openfirmware (especially since dropping sparc means there is only one package left that would need the Soyuz hack)14:35
asaccyphermox: ok... bc is still painful i guess :/14:35
loolcjwatson: It's simply not fixed in the stable-0.12 branch; only in qemu-kvm master14:36
pittislangasek: I understood that "runlevel 2345" is started later in the game, so to push it out a little bit14:36
cjwatsonpersia: why was openfirmware needed anyway?  I don't remember that being needed for yaboot14:36
cjwatsonpersia: which powerpc subarch are we talking about here?14:36
cjwatsonlool: ah, ok14:37
lool(I was looking at the wrong file when I checked stable-0.12 earlier; I checked softfloat.c instead of softfloat-native.c)14:37
slangasekpitti: a) it's racy, b) you've or'ed it so the only effect it could have is to start your job sooner rather than later...?14:37
pittislangasek: but I'm open to other suggestions; just the smbd story has taught me that weak dependencies aren't really working with current upstart methods14:37
loolcjwatson: Were you able to build with that bugfix alone?14:37
lools/bugfix/patch14:37
cjwatsonlool: I'll tell you when kakadu finishes with it ...14:37
cjwatsonit's certainly got well past that failure14:37
pittislangasek: the effect is to start it at all on servers14:37
loolPoor kakadu14:37
pittislangasek: since we don't have dbus on servers14:38
dpmRiddell, pitti. I've just spoken to danilo. A one-off full langpack export can be arranged, we just have to decide on the date, which should probably be today or tomorrow. I'd be up for tomorrow, as that was the date on the maverick schedule, but you guys know best if that would be too tight or not. Riddell, as per checking whether the files you uploaded have been imported, you can do it here: https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/~jr/+imports?field.f14:38
dpmilter_status=all&field.filter_extension=po - they don't seem to have been yet. So what date should I tell danilo to start the export?14:38
cjwatsonpersia: (oh, wait, is openfirmware not a package name?  I mean I know it's what the firmware implementation is called, but I don't know quite which particular Soyuz hack you mean ...)14:38
slangasekpitti: er, if it starts fine w/o dbus, why 'start on dbus' at all then?14:38
pittislangasek: well, it starts without dbus, but then jobs aren't broadcast14:38
slangasekhmm14:39
pittislangasek: i. e. if dbus is installed, I want cups to start after it14:39
cjwatsonso do the same thing as with samba?14:39
pittiso the "or runlevel" was the best hack I could come up with14:39
cjwatsonSIGHUP dbus, or whatever makes it deal14:39
pitticjwatson: that would mean to sighup cups when dbus starts14:39
slangasekpitti: it's not a very reliable hack14:39
pittislangasek: I know14:39
cjwatsonok, the other way round.  isn't that fine too?14:39
cjwatsonconditional start is not something you can do in upstart14:40
cjwatsonall the available hacks, as far as I know, make things worse14:40
cjwatsonsending signals doesn't generally make things worse, if it's supported14:40
pittibut at least not worse than in lucid14:40
pittiinit.d scripts were also started on runlevel [2345] in essence14:40
cjwatsonif we're changing it in maverick then IMO we should do it right14:40
cjwatsonwe're just storing up future really really confusing bugs for ourselves otherwise14:41
pitticjwatson: right, but so far I don't know what "right" is14:41
persiacjwatson, last I looked, we had OF implementations for both PPC and Sparc, but they have to be built on their target architectures, and the binaries are arch:all (for use with qemu), so...14:41
pittiwe need a weak dependency like "should-start:" or "on starting" (which doesn't work for practical scenarios)14:41
cjwatsonpersia: oh, I thought you were still talking about the boot loader14:41
cjwatsonpitti: what's wrong with notifying cups when dbus starts?14:42
persiaSoyuz hack would be to add some way to hint to Soyuz that a certain source needs to be built on a certain arch, and still allow it to produce arch:all binaries.14:42
cjwatsonpersia: right, I just wasn't sure of the particular package name.  now I know that you're talking about qemu not about the boot loader, it makes more sense14:42
pitticjwatson: telling dbus about all services that can support dbus and should be restarted doesn't sound like the "right" solution to me14:42
persiaOF *is* a bootloader (among other things).  As you indicate, switching to grub2 would make everything easier.14:42
pittithat's just backwards14:42
cjwatsongrub2 on powerpc needs open firmware14:43
persiacjwatson, I'm talking about a bootloader to use with qemu :)14:43
cjwatsonpitti: well, you *don't have* weak dependencies14:43
persiaOh :(14:43
cjwatsonlooking for them is going to make things worse14:43
persiaSo for KVM, I still need a first-stage bootloader (as grub2 will only handle second stage).  Well, might be natty.  might be natty+1.  Anyway, the binaries from Debian work.14:43
persiaCurrent source packages seem to be "openbios-sparc" and "openbios-ppc" ("openhackware" was an old one, as well as some using "openfirmware" in their names)14:44
cjwatsonI'd still like to switch to grub2 for actual powerpc installations14:44
cjwatsonbut not having a working powerpc right now makes it hard to drive that14:44
YokoZarcjwatson: new icoutils uploaded (in queue atm)14:45
cjwatsonok, thanks14:45
persiacjwatson, Would you find yourself more productive with a working powerpc?14:46
pitticjwatson: we can certainly formulate the conditions in a strong dependency, but then we need an additional state property "service foo exists"14:47
cjwatsonpitti: this is all a next-version-of-upstart thing14:47
pitticjwatson: oh, good to hear14:47
cjwatsonbut right now, you don't have it14:47
pittiso, "dbus or runlevel" should be what we had in lucid14:47
cjwatsonpersia: differently productive.  I would probably get less of the work I'm supposed to do done ...14:47
pittiand we hacked around the problem with cups and smbd, so for maverick it should be okay14:48
persiacjwatson, heh.  OK.  I'll keep that in mind :)14:48
cjwatsonmvo: is bug 650525 happening due to the RT ticket you filed?15:02

cjwatsonmvo: I thought we shipped the key text so that we didn't have to rely on fetching the key from the network, though, so not quite getting it15:03
mvocjwatson: the RT is for the software-center, this one is different, let me look15:03
YokoZarmvo: btw, now that software center does its initial apt-get update on first open, the number of incidences of valid apt:// links not working due to "package not found" should reduce (though still possible if someone clicks an apturl link before opening software center or running update manager on a fresh install)15:05
mvoYokoZar: yep15:06
YokoZarmvo: I have a suspicion gnome-codec-install might be affected similarly (I think it breaks when no apt-get update was yet run)15:06
YokoZarhopefully someone runs software center before they poke around their movie files or look up howtos ;)15:07
YokoZarpart of me wonders if it would be reasonable to ship a (even slightly out of date) universe packages list on the install15:08
mvoYokoZar: there is a open bug about it iirc, but the additional disk space on the live cd has been a problem15:10
mvoYokoZar: the first apt-get update cron job will heal it15:10
mvoYokoZar: in the case of gnome-codec-install I vaguely remember there was code that detects misisng universe and offers to update, but I may mis remember15:11
persiaIsn't there some stuff that gnome-codec-install requests that isn't suitable for being on images?15:11
YokoZarmvo: missing universe is different from never having run update (I think that code is way back when universe was unticked by default)15:11
YokoZarpersia: err yeah I guess multiverse package list too15:11
YokoZarpersia: but a package list is different from a package ;)15:12
persiaAh, true.  Although I still have reservations about multiverse :)15:12
mvoYokoZar: right, I just tested and its clever enough to notice that there is stuff in sources.list but the data in /var/lib/apt/liss is not there15:16
mvoYokoZar: I vaguely remember I added that code at some point15:16

persiaasac, That's an extra-hard one: it's about contention between kernel and GNOME.22:58
asacwell22:59
asacpersia: what i want to understand where the change resulting in this regression was decided ;)22:59
asacand ensure that that discussion involved all the right parties22:59
persiaI don't believe there was such an explicit decision.23:00
asacthen it needs to be changed back23:00
asacor fixed23:00
asac;)23:00
asacalt-print cannot be changed without an explicit decision imo ... at least not from the kernel side23:01
persiaasac, So, which bit needs to be "changed back"?  the kernel, or GNOME?23:07
asacpersia: i assume the kernel changed this cycle23:08
asacgnome didnt change23:08
asacwhatever changed this cycle needs to be changed back ;) ... at least the default setting of gnome was not touched23:08
ogra_acasac, just use your digital camera23:15
asaclol23:16
hallyncjwatson: kirkland suggested i should be talking to you...  i've got two cases where lucid will do the right thing with external disks, and maverick won't (last tested last weekend).  the first, using cryptsetup, i opened a bug for a long time ago23:17
asacogra_ac: actually i tried changing it to something else in keybindings preference and now i cannot change it back because its not recognized as any key-combo at all; in short: i am all set :-P23:17
hallyncjwatson: the other, is an iomega drive, not encrypted, 1 partition, which automounts under lucid, but (same laptop) in maverick fdisk -l says something about bogus sectors23:17
hallyncjwatson: alas the drives and laptop are at home, and i'm out for the week, so i can't give details right now23:17
asacogra_ac: so according to that bug if you disable sysrq the key combo is recognized as "Alt-SysRq" rather than "Alt-Print" in gnome23:18
ogra_acwow23:19
asacogra_ac: what do you think changed that would cause this?23:19
persiaDepends on the keyboard, really.23:19
asackernel? gtk? keymaps?23:19
ogra_ackernely or keymaps i'd say23:19
asacpersia: does it work for you? ;)23:19
persiaasac, "work" how?23:19
asacpersia: press alt+print ... and see if you get a screenshot of current window23:20
persiaThe answer is "sometimes".23:20
asacare you running maverick?23:20
persiaDepends whether I use my German or Japanese keyboard (both are connected)23:20
persiaYep.23:20
asacso its german keyboard only?23:20
persiaGerman keyboard works.  Japanese keyboard works only if I press Alt+SysRq twice in a row quickly enough23:21
hallynjjohansen: kees: cjwatson: btw, bug #622762 was the one i originally openedd for the first issue23:21
ubottuLaunchpad bug 622762 in cryptsetup "encrypted partition works in lucid, not maverick" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/62276223:21
asachmm. my german keyboard does not work23:21
persia(where "works" means I get the screenshot popup)23:21
asacpersia: and a screenshot of window rather than full root window?23:21
asacogra_ac: does it work for you?23:21
persiaasac, I don't think it's the layout of the keyboards, but rather how they encode SysRq.  the Japanese keyboard is Logitech and the German keyboard is Cherry23:22
ogra_acasac, i cant find the print key23:22
asacomg :-P23:22
asacogra_ac: its often somewhere at the top ;)23:23
ogra_aci know :P23:23
ogra_acthis thing has an android adjusted kbd23:23
persiaasac, Strangely, when I tried to reproduce, I ended up with a stuck ALT key until reseting *both* keyboards simultaneously (plug events)23:24
* persia concludes Alt*SysRq behaviour is determinisitic in far too complicated a manner23:25
ogra_acasac, i dont use an ubuntu kernel, but nothing happens if i hit alt+print23:25
ogra_ac(german keymap though)23:25
ogra_acprint alone gets me a desktop shot23:25
asacinteresting23:26
asacdoes not really help us much ;)23:27
* asac out23:30
