RAOFHm.  Who was kees pointing at me?  I've got the ping, not the context from backscroll.00:43
ScottKRAOF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/505382/00:51
RAOFAh, ok.  Yeah, we don't really use the video group anymore, and *something* needs to handle setting appropriate permissions on the DRI/whatever kernel device.  Sounds like a job for consolekit, to me - give the active seat access to the hardware.00:54
RAOFI think the nvidia device is world-writable, for that matter, so having the arm drivers use a world-writable node won't be any worse than nvidia :)00:56

keesRAOF: the question was about how the graphics devices get their facl for the current user to use it. (e.g. getfacl /dev/dri/card0) for the case where ARM needs a 3d device for some special graphics driver it uses02:30
keesRAOF: specifically, ogra was trying to sort it out02:31
RAOFAh.  I always assumed that it was consolekit that did the magic there; it seemed to be in-scope.02:31

WubbbiHey guys. I have an issue and this issue I have in the hole time of Ubuntu. But now it is realy getting on my nervs. Evolution is the word! I got a screen resolution of 1028x600 ... A Netbook. And Evolution is not going to fit on my screen. There are may parts of it which are going out of my screen thus I can click on some Icons or buttoms. Is it possible to fix it? Nothing helped yet. Even if I get on Fullscreen mode, it still not fits09:31

jibelcjwatson, I thought of apt-daemon doing some weird async thing, but it seems to happen with apt too.11:21
cjwatsonman-db is just a canary for package management operations being called in some kind of invalid state11:21
mvoI have to admit that my suspecion was aptdaemon debconf handling as well11:21

jibelbut maybe there was a software-center running in the background.11:31
cjwatsonthe thing is that if another package management frontend is running then some other lock should clash11:31
cjwatsonexcept for the specialised use of debconf during initial OS installation, I can't see how the debconf lock should ever be the first one to clash; there should always be something outside it, like the dpkg lock11:33
jibelcjwatson, right, I tried that scenario but the dpkg lock is preventing to install the package.11:34
cjwatsonthough there doesn't seem to be an apt lock as such apart from the acquire lock, so I suppose races are possible, but I don't get the sense that that's what's going on here11:35

YokoZarricotz: what's in the new pacakge though?12:42
YokoZaris it just 32 bit libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental?12:43
ricotzYokoZar, yes12:43
YokoZarThen why put it in a separate package and not just add it to the list of crap in ia32-libs?12:43
cjwatsonI'd much rather things be in a separate package when possible12:44
ricotzYokoZar, so applications like googleearth could run with 3d acceleration on nouveau if the experimental packages are installed12:44

YokoZarricotz: you mean if someone has ia32-libs but doesn't have lib-mesa-dri-experimental?12:56
ricotzYokoZar, so add this would enable apps like googleearh to benefit of the 3d acceleration12:56
ricotzYokoZar, yes12:56
YokoZarwhy would that happen?12:56
ricotzYokoZar, because it will search first for the gallium libs12:56
YokoZarI mean, is X searching in /usr/lib32?12:56

YokoZarricotz: wouldn't it make sense to have ia32-libs-mesa-dri-experimental install by default when someone installs mesa-dri-experimental and one of these 32 bit packages?13:02
YokoZar(eg wine/google earth?)13:02
YokoZarI'm trying to figure out how to do that without pulling in ia32-libs on systems that don't have these 32 bit apps13:02
ricotzYokoZar, this might be not possible13:03
YokoZarRight.  But if both were always installed together and X was smart enough to only look for ia32-libs-mesa-dri-experimental when the 64 bit version was also installed, we wouldn't have a problem right?13:03
cjwatsonseb128: thanks13:04
ricotzYokoZar, i think so13:05
ricotzYokoZar, but since libmesa-dri-experimental is not supported or installed automatically i think users should also install the 32bit libs manually13:06

siretartdoko: hi13:55
dokosiretart: see above, some thing for powerpc libavcodec and ffmpeg13:56
didrockspitti: that is what is reported and we discussed on Friday. I think the guess of a kernel change comes from there13:57
siretartfrom the bug: "As far as I understand it, the ppc problem is not because shared libs have to be pic but because relocations are too "big" when loaded from some libraries (ffplay/ffmpeg seems to work and load the same library)."13:57
siretartfrom the gentoo bug13:57
siretarta similar (toolchain) bug can be seen on ia64, btw13:57

ubottuDebian bug 598952 in src:ffmpeg "ffmpeg: FTBFS on ia64: relocation truncated to fit: GPREL22 against `.bss'" [Serious,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/59895213:58
siretartcjwatson: regarding re-compiling with pic: if you want to do that, I'd suggest to patch the configure script, it has a hardcoded list of architecture that require -fPIC.14:00
cjwatsonsiretart: I saw, but I decided to take a different approach for the problem I was working on (performous)14:00
siretartcjwatson: upstream strongly advises against that because of performace impact14:00
jibelmvo, thanks to you, that was a quick fix.14:00
cjwatsonsiretart: indeed, applications that do not start at all are much faster than ones that do14:01
siretartcjwatson: does ffplay work for you?14:02
cjwatsonsiretart: for me?  I'm not actually using powerpc, I'm hunting down NBS14:02
siretartaccording to the gentoo bug, I understand that this doesn't affect all applications. in particular, ffplay/ffmpeg seem to work, but not gst-ffmpeg14:03
cjwatsonAFAIK doko is doing the same14:03
siretartI see14:03
cjwatsonpackages that fail to build tend to have something of an effect on archive consistency14:03
cjwatsonwhich is important as we approach release14:03
siretartwell, we have a fast workaround (enabling PIC) that has performance impact but unbreaks gst-ffmpeg but also causes performance issues. under these circumstanced, I'd tend to agree to go the quick fix14:05

jibelokay15:43
cjwatsonhaving trouble seeing why any of this would *crash* grub, but this is worth a shot ...15:44
cjwatson(BTW, if that works, then as a control it would be good to unapply that patch and try grub-install again, to make sure that still breaks)15:44
jibelcjwatson, I also noticed that when you upgrade the files c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr and wubildr-bootstrap.cfg are not there but they exist when performing a fresh install.15:45

YokoZarwhy does apt-get source jasper give me jasper-initramfs but apt-get source libjasper1 give me jasper source package22:06
YokoZarah hah...because the jasper binary is in the jasper-initramfs package but not the jasper source package22:07
YokoZarweird22:07

YokoZarScottK: at the moment it's preventing me from adding libjasper1 to ia32-libs22:20
ScottKInteresting.22:20
YokoZarScottK: because it gets double parsed essentially22:21
YokoZarso would we say this is a bug in apt-get or a bug in the binary package that's named for someone else's source package (seems like something we should have a policy about)22:22
ScottKI think it's a bug in apt-get, or at best a use case that isn't considered by the current design.22:23
