| apw | cjwatson, have we done anything in our CD images to support EFI for maverick ? | 09:46 |
| Riddell | pitti: did you do two kerneloops uploads? I accepted one but I don't know if it's the same one I looked at | 09:49 |
| pitti | Riddell: the other is from james_w; we can reject one | 09:49 |
| cjwatson | apw: yes, supported on amd64 only | 09:50 |
| cjwatson | apw: (sadly can't really test it on my test machine since am awaiting fixed firmware) | 09:50 |
| apw | cjwatson, there are reports that this is breaking mac's on boot (amd64 only, which now makes sense). presumably this is something to do with how the CD ismade | 09:53 |
| apw | bug #633983 | 09:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 633983 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) "Can't boot Maverick beta amd64 live cd on macbook (EFI)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/633983 | 09:53 |
| apw | so i presume this isn't going to be a kernel issue ? | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | apw: it's hard to say | 10:01 |
| cjwatson | apw: but, you know, there are reasons I left the i386 CD BIOS-only ... | 10:02 |
| cjwatson | apw: the only way to prove that it's specifically due to EFI support would be to remaster the CD without that | 10:02 |
| cjwatson | and there's very little we can do about this without removing EFI support, it's a catch-22 | 10:03 |
| apw | cjwatson, and indeed they indicate the 32bit one does boot ok | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | but that's not really proof | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | would need to remaster the amd64 CD | 10:03 |
| apw | no indeed not anything more than indicative a test is appropriate | 10:03 |
| apw | is that someting one can do anywhere other than on the cdmaster machine? | 10:04 |
| cjwatson | sure. loop-mount image on PATH. genisoimage -r -V 'Ubuntu 10.10 amd64' -o maverick-desktop-amd64-remastered.iso -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table PATH | 10:04 |
| cjwatson | actually you might need to loop-mount and then copy the whole thing | 10:04 |
| cjwatson | so: mount -o loop maverick-desktop-amd64.iso old-amd64; cp -a old-amd64 new-amd64; genisoimage -r -V 'Ubuntu 10.10 amd64' -o maverick-desktop-amd64-remastered.iso -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table new-amd64 | 10:05 |
| apw | cjwatson, ok so that sounds like something i can try and do ... people are targetting the kernel on this one and blaming me :/ | 10:05 |
| apw | thanks | 10:05 |
| cjwatson | we could release-note "you have to use i386 on Macs" | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | not exactly ideal but ... dear Apple, please fix your EFI implementation | 10:06 |
| apw | cjwatson, well indeed, from the pointeres in the bug it seems even M$ cannot make ISOs which boot correctly on them | 10:07 |
| apw | cjwatson, so i suspect its going to be that in the end, i wonder if we could have ports cds | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | the eternal disk space pain | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | it's possible | 10:08 |

| bobba | Hi - I'm wondering where I should go to ask how I'd customise the installer? In particular, I'd like to know how I could remove EXT4 as an option for installations as I only wish to support installations on EXT3 | 10:28 |
| cjwatson | 'rm /lib/partman/valid_filesystems/ext4' should be sufficient | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | (I think) | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | #ubuntu-installer is generally a better place to ask though | 10:32 |
| bobba | and then it should default to a different FS? because EXT4 is the default at the moment | 10:32 |
| bobba | ahhhh fantastic :) | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | er, yeah, you would need to change the default that's true | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | are you happy to rebuild packages to achieve this (more work, but more flexible), or do you want to just fiddle about with the live filesystem? | 10:32 |
| bobba | *nod* Well that's getting part way there which is further than I've got by myself ;) | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | the default filesystem is in debconf, as the default for the partman/default_filesystem question | 10:33 |
| bobba | Ideally I'd prefer to fiddle with the live system (of course...) but since I'll be building a fresh ISO then I'm happy to consider anything that's needed | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | well in that case you can edit /var/cache/debconf/config.dat and look for partman/default_filesystem | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | alternatively, add partman/default_filesystem=ext3 to the boot options | 10:34 |
| bobba | ahhh that sounds good - but I'd still have to change the life system to remove it from the valid list | 10:36 |
| bobba | fantastic though - I'm going to try that right away | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | right | 10:37 |

| apw | cjwatson, fyi i've built tested (it boots) and posted that remastered CD image for testing on the bug ... | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | ta | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | be sure to make it clear that this is not a fix we can simply roll into the distribution (because it breaks other things) but simply an attempt to narrow things down | 12:42 |
| apw | cjwatson, added a rider to it ... that is why i wondered if we might be wanting 'ports' style cd-image. ones which arn't mirrored etc for the smaller corner cases like this | 12:44 |
| cjwatson | as I say, yes it's possible if there's no alternative | 12:44 |
| apw | probabally something that needs discussing in a more formal setting, to see what alternatives we have | 12:44 |
| cjwatson | we had an i386+mac port in the past for other reasons; the same kind of thing could be resurrected as amd64+mac | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | it's not even all that difficult | 12:45 |
| apw | apple sort out your firmware being the prefered option | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | quite, but Fedora have had the same problem for a while and obviously neither they nor MS have got anywhere | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | I shouldn't think "fails to boot non-Apple OS" is very high on Apple's priority list | 12:45 |
| apw | i would think "make sure it fails to boot non-apple OS" is high on their priority list | 12:46 |
| cjwatson | ultimately ... your hardware is hostile to other OSes, should have bought different hardware | 12:46 |
| apw | yep ... sadly | 12:46 |
| cjwatson | we can certainly try workarounds as long as they don't break other things | 12:46 |
| apw | not 'damn i can sell this sh*t to people who'll pay for an OS and not use it, sweet' | 12:46 |
| apw | cjwatson, anyway thanks for your help, i learned more than i wanted to about mastering CDs | 12:47 |
| apw | though one day when we arn't busy [sic] it might be nice to have the fulll incantations for the EFI ones too | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | same as before but add '-eltorito-alt-boot -efi-boot boot/grub/efi.img -no-emul-boot' before the path at the end | 12:48 |

| diwic | doko_, I've been developing fluidsynth for a year or two | 14:12 |
| diwic | doko_, and we don't have anybody upstream (or in Debian, IIRC) which tests armel | 14:13 |
| diwic | so armel is not supported by upstream (i e the FluidSynth community) | 14:14 |
| diwic | as for packaging of it, quadrispro did most of it but I helped some | 14:15 |
| doko_ | diwic: maybe, but is this a reason to upload packages two weeks before the release which already fail to build in experimental, or show up as build failures in maverick? had this discussion yesterday with quadrispro ... | 14:15 |
| doko_ | diwic: are the feature freeze exceptions for lash and fluidsync documented? | 14:17 |
| diwic | doko_, depends on which standpoint you have. Knowing what we did to improve stability (for supported platforms) in 1.1.2, I support having 1.1.2 in Maverick, | 14:17 |
| diwic | doko_, I don't know if quadrispro made any formal FFe:s. | 14:18 |
| doko_ | diwic: fluidsync did build before, now it's not. see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fluidsynth/1.1.2-2/+build/1982399 | 14:19 |
| diwic | doko_, I'll see what I can do about it | 14:23 |

| ogra_ac | and given the download is done in 2min i'll know for sure by then | 16:15 |

| apw | usb-creator does do something using stuff on your system, whether its needed ... i don't know | 16:16 |
| ogra_ac | yes, i know | 16:16 |
| sivang | AFAIR it was in universe. | 16:16 |
| ogra_ac | but there was a mail thread recently about the possibility to dd | 16:16 |
| * sivang asks in -motu | 16:16 | |
| apw | ogra_ac, well if it fails i know the .img files have been made such that they are bootable after a dd, some magic using a VM i am told to make them | 16:17 |
| ogra_ac | ok | 16:17 |
| ogra_ac | i'll fall back to them, thanks | 16:17 |
| apw | but they are special case images, so probabally need to hack them | 16:18 |

| paissad_ | guys, i received this lintian warning 'missing-debian-source-format' .... i don't know anything about quilt, i don't use it in my package ...i did not use it in the previous versions of my package & here is what i did --> echo '3.0 (native)' > debian/source/format ... do you think this good ? | 20:57 |
| paissad_ | thanks in advance for helping | 20:57 |
| cyphermox | geser, I noticed you did a rebuild of gtkmathview because of libgdk_pixbuf2.0.la, could you review https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/ubuntu/maverick/aiksaurus/lp653217-rebuild or do the same rebuild for aiksaurus? | 20:57 |
| paissad_ | btw, i have this other warning: | 20:59 |
| paissad_ | W: pms-linux: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/pms-linux/resources/images/clients/musicpal.png | 21:00 |
| paissad_ | i did in my debian/rules --> dh_fixperms /usr/share/pms-linux/resources/images/ | 21:00 |
| paissad_ | but i don't understand the reason why nothing changed ! | 21:01 |
| cyphermox | paissad_, afaik, that's good for debian/source/format / missing-debian-source-format. | 21:01 |
| paissad_ | i even did dh_fixperms only, but that did not change anything | 21:01 |
| paissad_ | weird | 21:02 |
| cyphermox | paissad_, as far as executable-not-elf-or-script, did you copy these files from a ntfs or fat partition? this just means that file is marked executable and should not be | 21:02 |
| jdstrand | ogra_ac: sure, what do you need? | 21:02 |
| ogra_ac | jdstrand, three packages from NEW | 21:03 |
| ScottK | paissad_: The source format one is safe to ignore. | 21:03 |
| paissad_ | cyphermox, those files are retreive (svn export) from a subversion server .. my system is ext3 .... | 21:03 |
| ogra_ac | jdstrand, powervr-omap3, opengles-sgx.omap3 (multiverse) and devmem2 | 21:03 |
| paissad_ | ScottK, you mean 1.0 instead of 3.0 ? | 21:03 |
| ScottK | paissad_: You can use whichever you prefer. Nothing explicitly defined is 1.0, so if you want 1.0, it's not needed to add anything. | 21:04 |
| jdstrand | ogra_ac: these all have FFes? | 21:04 |

| paissad_ | debian-watch-file-in-native-package | 21:21 |
| paissad_ | what's a native package .. i don't really understand this ^^ | 21:21 |
| kklimonda | paissad_: native packages are packages that debian/ubuntu is an upstream for. | 21:23 |
| paissad_ | kklimonda, so created by debian ubuntu developers ? | 21:24 |
| kklimonda | paissad_: if you are packaging an upstream project you have to append a debian revision to it's version. | 21:24 |
| kklimonda | paissad_: yeah | 21:24 |
| kklimonda | its* | 21:24 |
| paissad_ | kklimonda, i'm confused because, when i did not have the debian/source/format file, i had this warning | 21:25 |
| paissad_ | 'missing-debian-source-format | 21:25 |
| paissad_ | and now i created this file, i have this lintian warning | 21:25 |
| paissad_ | debian-watch-file-in-native-package | 21:25 |
| paissad_ | ^^ | 21:25 |
| paissad_ | well, i will remove the watch file then | 21:25 |
| paissad_ | and this too -> native-package-with-dash-version | 21:26 |
| paissad_ | really complicated & confusing the 'debian rules for packaging' .. that changes too often | 21:27 |
| kklimonda | what is the version of your package? | 21:27 |
| kklimonda | you can also run lintian with --info for a long description of this errors/warnings | 21:27 |
| paissad_ | kklimonda, pms-linux-1.20.409+svn411 | 21:27 |
| paissad_ | kklimonda, in the changelog , i have -> 1.20.409+svn411-1 | 21:28 |
| paissad_ | kklimonda, i did lintian -iIEmv --color always --pedantic | 21:28 |
| paissad_ | so i have explanations | 21:29 |
| kklimonda | paissad_: you should have 3.0 (quilt) in debian/source/format and an .orig.tar.gz in the parent directory. | 21:29 |
| paissad_ | kklimonda, actually, i did (native) instead of (quilt) ... | 21:29 |
| paissad_ | i will try quilt then | 21:30 |

| jdstrand | rsalveti, ogra_ac: is that required? wouldn't KERNEL=="pvrsrvkm", GROUP="video", MODE="0660" be better? | 21:32 |
| ogra_ac | do we actually still have a video group ? | 21:33 |
| jdstrand | ogra_ac: I would, yes, and a group that makes sense | 21:33 |
| rsalveti | if the video group is still working, np to use it | 21:33 |
| jdstrand | video:x:44: | 21:33 |
| ogra_ac | i guess ricardo took rthat over from an upstream doc or from openembedded | 21:33 |
| jdstrand | well, I am not up to date on the proper group | 21:33 |
| jdstrand | users seemed weird | 21:33 |
| rsalveti | I couldn't find a proper group to allow a normal user to use the 3d acceleration | 21:34 |

| jdstrand | hmm | 21:35 |
| jdstrand | kees: ^ | 21:35 |
| jdstrand | we should probably look at what nvidia does | 21:35 |
| kirkland | slangasek: so asking upstart for the "status" on a given process really just checks if the process is still running, right? | 21:35 |
| ogra_ac | yeah | 21:35 |
| rsalveti | do we have a /dev for nvidia? | 21:35 |
| jdstrand | I thought we did | 21:35 |
| * jdstrand doesn't have nvidia hardware | 21:35 | |
| * rsalveti neither | 21:36 | |
| kklimonda | yes, we do | 21:36 |
| kirkland | slangasek: i need to add some additional smarts, beyond whether the process is running, i need to check if it's actually doing something | 21:36 |
| kirkland | slangasek: ie, that it's not wedged in a while-true loop | 21:36 |
| kirkland | slangasek: what's the best way to do that? | 21:36 |
| jdstrand | I'll try to pull the sources and find it | 21:36 |
| * kees reads | 21:36 | |
| kirkland | slangasek: in sysvinit script, the status action can be anything, in its own stanza in the case statement | 21:36 |
| kirkland | slangasek: how could i get something similar out of upstart? | 21:36 |
| jdstrand | kees: looking for the proper group for a udev rule for 3d graphics | 21:36 |
| ogra_ac | sigh | 21:37 |
| jdstrand | kees: it was 0666 with group 'users', I thought 0660 with something else, but am not up on groups for 3d | 21:37 |
| ogra_ac | the nvidia source is 50 meg | 21:37 |

| kees | $ getfacl /dev/dri/card0 | grep kees | 21:39 |
| kees | user:kees:rw- | 21:39 |
| kees | gdm or somebody does that, since I don't think the default users is in "video" any more... | 21:39 |
| kees | *user | 21:39 |
| ogra_ac | right | 21:39 |
| jdstrand | ah, seems not | 21:39 |
| jdstrand | (I am not) | 21:39 |
| ogra_ac | thats why i said above it would require tinkering with groups | 21:40 |
| kees | probably best to ask RAOF about it | 21:40 |
| kees | <unhelpful>"users" 0666 is certainly wrong though. :P | 21:40 |
| jdstrand | 0666 makes me pretty uncomfortable though | 21:40 |
| trijntje | is there a way to see in LP who imported a package (and translations) from upstream into LP? | 21:43 |
| slangasek | kirkland: 'status' returns the information upstart has about the status of the job; if you need some other kind of status check, I would recommend a standalone tool similar to apachectl | 21:44 |
| ogra_ac | jdstrand, uploading ubuntu2 | 21:44 |
| kirkland | slangasek: :-/ | 21:44 |
| slangasek | kirkland: not in an init script, because that will collide with all of the auto-mapping support between sysvinit and upstart | 21:45 |
| slangasek | kirkland: why do you have a server that can get wedged? :) | 21:45 |
| kirkland | slangasek: hmm, well, hard to answer that question in a politically correct manner | 21:45 |
| slangasek | kirkland: does this status check need to be integrated with something like heartbeat, though? | 21:46 |
| kirkland | slangasek: in any case, is it safe to say that moving a sysvinit script to upstart loses the ability to do a "smart" status check? | 21:46 |
| kirkland | slangasek: yes, something like heartbeat/pacemaker/etc | 21:46 |
| kirkland | slangasek: okay, so let's say I add something to service(8) | 21:47 |
| kirkland | slangasek: perhaps, "status+" | 21:47 |
| slangasek | kirkland: "safe to say" - I wouldn't say it that way because it casts it as an init system problem instead of a service problem, which is what I think bears the responsibility for not getting itself wedged | 21:47 |
| kirkland | slangasek: service <FOO> status+ | 21:47 |
| jdstrand | ogra_ac: accepted | 21:56 |
| jdstrand | kees: thanks again | 21:56 |
| kees | jdstrand: np | 21:56 |
| ogra_ac | jdstrand, awesome | 21:57 |
| ogra_ac | thzanks ! | 21:57 |
| andreserl | kirkland, just for clarification, but prolly you already know this, pacemaker has various ways of monitoring a service. One, would be by the use of sysvinit scripts, using the return codes of the scripts. Second, using upstart status output, which was recently added by Ante, Third, using OCF scripts, that what they basically do, is to monitor the application itself, however this is customizable as long as you follow the standard for creating | 21:57 |
| andreserl | such scripts :) | 21:57 |
| jdstrand | hehe | 21:58 |
| rsalveti | jdstrand: cool, thanks :-) | 22:07 |
| jdstrand | rsalveti: sure :) | 22:08 |
| paissad_ | guys, here is my debian/rules http://pastebin.com/LCb0Ggb9, there is dh_fixperms into it ... but i don't understand the reason why i get this warning with lintian -->executable-not-elf-or-script <-- AND indeed those files have their permissions not changed in the package | 22:25 |
| paissad_ | where am i wrong ? | 22:25 |
| paissad_ | i'm really confused .. i even added 'dh_fixperms' in other targets of the debian/rules file ... but nothing changed | 22:26 |
| paissad_ | the build finished successfully ... but i have 3 warnings about executable files in /usr/share/pms-linux/ .... | 22:27 |
| cjwatson | dh_fixperms isn't entirely magic - if something is making the file executable, shove chmod -x in there | 22:29 |
| paissad_ | cjwatson, i'm quite sure that dh_fixperms failed ^^ | 22:30 |
| paissad_ | i even can say i'm certain of this ! | 22:30 |
| cjwatson | no | 22:30 |
| paissad_ | cjohnston, it did not change the perms | 22:30 |
| cjwatson | read its documentation | 22:31 |
| cjwatson | it's not supposed to change *everything* - it fixes *certain problems* | 22:31 |
| paissad_ | cjohnston, i did read the manpage already (before posting) | 22:32 |
| paissad_ | it's a minimum :) | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | I am not cjohnston | 22:32 |
| paissad_ | oh sorry ! | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | the manual page does not say anywhere that it makes files under /usr/share non-executable | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | except doc | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | it's very specific | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | just insert chmod -x commands | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | you can also run with DH_VERBOSE=1 set in the environment to see exactly what debhelper commands are doing | 22:33 |
| paissad_ | cjwatson, i thought about the chmod -x command ... but i just wanted to know the reason why dh_fixperms did not work in my case | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | because it can't realistically guess everything - files in /usr/share/PACKAGE are often meant to be executable | 22:34 |
| paissad_ | cjwatson, ok | 22:35 |
| ari-tczew | cjwatson: are you a Debian Developer? | 22:39 |
| cjwatson | ari-tczew: yes, have been for ten years, why? | 22:41 |
| cjwatson | (well, thinking about it, that's exaggerating by a few months) | 22:42 |
| * maco rolls eyes | 22:42 | |
| ari-tczew | cjwatson: I think whether you can apply this patch in Debian: debian bug 506083 | 22:43 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 506083 in palo "palo: open(O_CREAT) needs a mode argument" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/506083 | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | Debian doesn't normally work like that. You need to ask its package maintainer | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | oh, it's QA | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | yeah, guess I could, not tonight though | 22:44 |
| ari-tczew | cjwatson: would be nice if you add this one to your to-do ;) | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | it had a proper maintainer when I filed that bug | 22:44 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: are you here? | 22:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: yes | 22:52 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i know about those 3 methods... there's just a "deficiency" we perceive in upstart's ability to test the real actual status of a service | 22:53 |
| kirkland | slangasek: okay, here's what I'm thinking ... adding something to the service(8) command; perhaps call it "status+", which first runs the status from sysvinit or upstart, but then executes (if available) something in /etc/status/$NAME, which is able to do "smarter" or "deeper" testing of the practical status of the service | 22:55 |
| kirkland | slangasek: for something like lighttpd, it's great that there's a pid for the process, but can wget retrieve a webpage from it | 22:55 |
| kirkland | slangasek: thus, you can define the real status+ of a service with something in /etc/status/lighttpd (as an example) | 22:56 |
| slangasek | kirkland: why under /etc/status instead of, say, /usr/lib/service/status/ ? | 22:56 |
| slangasek | putting it under /etc implies packaging overhead that seems avoidable here | 22:57 |
| kirkland | slangasek: sure -- that's fine | 22:57 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: "pid for the process, but can wget retrieve a webpage from it" > that's exactly how the "monitor" option in a cluster would work, instead of just verifying if the service is running or not, which doesn't mean that it is receiving request in your example | 22:57 |
| kirkland | slangasek: i was thinking of symlinks in /etc, to stuff in /usr/lib, actually | 22:57 |
| kirkland | slangasek: that someone could break, or modify to their liking, if necessary | 22:57 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| slangasek | kirkland: I wouldn't introduce the complexity of /etc/status until there was a demonstrable demand for it | 22:58 |
| kirkland | slangasek: ack, understood | 22:58 |
| kirkland | slangasek: what do you think of the nomenclature? "service <FOO> status+" ? | 22:58 |
| slangasek | kirkland: otherwise, that seems ok - it'd be nice if this wasn't needed, using something like what RoAkSoAx suggests in its place, but I don't feel strongly about this | 22:58 |
| slangasek | kirkland: sees ok | 22:59 |
| slangasek | seems | 22:59 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: okay, so how is your way done generically, for anything started by upstart or sysvinit? | 22:59 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: from the cluster point, generically, it is just monitoring the return codes of sysvvinit, for start, stop, and status, and something similar is done for upstart | 23:01 |
| RoAkSoAx | but for examplke, if using OCF resource agents, we could monitor if the webserver is respoding to request | 23:01 |
| RoAkSoAx | for ex, from the apache OCF resource agent: " monitor: return TRUE if the web server appears to be working. For this to be supported you must configure mod_status and give it a server-status URL. You have to have installed either curl or wget for this to work." | 23:01 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: right... okay; here's the problem -- upstart's "status" is NOT sufficient (ie, it's not "smart" enough) for the test we need to perform | 23:01 |
| ebroder | Hmm...how do I make mountall interact nicely with encrypted swap? Right now I have a line in /etc/crypttab, and a line in /etc/fstab, but cryptsetup hasn't run before mountall does, so I get the "unable to find <my swap device>" error | 23:02 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: if you need it for monitoring within an HA cluster, I'd suggest creating OCF resource agents | 23:02 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: or providing the ability to upstart to do something similar, or either a tool that could do just that, monitor something specific | 23:03 |
| ebroder | Oh wait...maybe I screwed up my fstab | 23:03 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: okay | 23:03 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: is this for HA clustering? | 23:04 |
| slangasek | ebroder: yes, sounds like a busticated fstab; for encrypted swap, cryptsetup should run /well/ before mountall, i.e., in the initramfs | 23:05 |
| ebroder | slangasek: Yeah, I left out the second column in my swap line. My bad. Although I thought cryptsetup only ran for the root device in the initrd | 23:13 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: if you need to take a look to some OCF resource agents, they are in "cluster-agents", inside heartbeat folder. Pacemaker also provides other ocf resource agents I believe | 23:14 |
| slangasek | ebroder: root device and swap, because you might hibernate/resume to swap | 23:14 |
| slangasek | to encrypted swap, I mean | 23:14 |
| ebroder | slangasek: Huh. That's clever | 23:18 |
| paissad_ | damn it, i have to build a package for amd64 and for i386 archs, but i don't have currently an i386 | 23:37 |
| paissad_ | ^^ | 23:38 |
| paissad_ | is there a way to build a package for i386 from an amd64 arch ? | 23:44 |
| Daviey | paissad_: yes.. you can use amd64 to build i386, but tricky to do the other way around | 23:47 |
| Daviey | paissad_: if you use pbuilder-dist..... $ pbuilder-dist maverick i386 create -> then $ pbuilder-dist maverick i386 foo.dsc | 23:49 |
| YokoZar | ArneGoetje: ttf-baekmuk and xfonts-baekmuk look like they contain the same thing -- should the latter package be dropped? | 23:52 |
