| psusi | well holy crap... I wrote a kernel patch and it compiled on the first try | 01:27 |
| psusi | now to see if it /works/ ;) | 01:27 |
| psusi | wow... it worked... | 01:43 |
| TheMuso | psusi: It must have been a one-liner. :) | 01:53 |
| psusi | TheMuso, heh, actually was adding a few bit flags that weren't defined to headers, then cloning some sysfs functions to export them and modifying them to work with the new flag | 01:54 |
| TheMuso | Well, close. | 01:55 |
| psusi | so not that much, but not exactly a one liner either... still amayzed it compiled AND worked on the first try | 01:58 |

| steev_ | thanks RAOF | 02:25 |
| ebroder | does the intel driver do its own round of mode setting when X starts, even with KMS? | 02:53 |
| ebroder | (is this configurable somehow?) | 02:54 |
| RAOF | ebroder: No; once KMS is in use, the kernel is the only thing that can do modesetting without making everything fall down in a screaming heap. | 02:56 |
| ebroder | RAOF: hmm...ok, maybe i understand this less well than i thought. if i have an intel gfx machine, and i boot it with multiple monitors plugged in, KMS appears to set the mode correctly (and independently for the two monitors), then when X starts something switches it into cloned mode | 02:57 |
| RAOF | ebroder: That starting X *will* cause the X driver to probe available modes from the kernel, and then X will make its own decision as to the best mode, possibly triggering the intel driver to delegate a modeswitch to the kernel. | 02:57 |
| ebroder | ah, ok - right | 02:57 |
| ebroder | i'm wondering if this is a piece of why people think multi-monitor is so non-deterministic | 02:58 |
| RAOF | It is, a bit. | 02:58 |
| RAOF | Hm. Actually, it might be reasonable to delegate the clone-setting to the DE / login manager. | 02:59 |
| ebroder | I don't suppose there's a way to change X's mode selection algorithm without hard-coding layouts and resolutions in xorg.conf? | 03:01 |
| ebroder | (I know we decided to always clone at UDS; I happen to have a scenario where I want to always extend) | 03:02 |
| RAOF | This is a case where delegating to gnome-settings-daemon would be the right thing to do. | 03:04 |
| ebroder | That would certainly be awesome | 03:04 |
| RAOF | Which is the X policy anyway. I don't think there'd be a huge outcry against leaving the KMS-set mode until the settings daemon says otherwise. | 03:05 |
| ebroder | And it's not like there'd be anything to show in place of plymouth before then | 03:06 |
| RAOF | Right. | 03:17 |
| psusi | cjwatson, you around? I'm not sure but it looks like dist-upgrade to natty is broken because grub2 depends on a natty version of base-files, but base-files depends on a natty version of grub2-common, so dist-upgrade can't upgrade... | 03:58 |
| psusi | weird.. third time is the charm I guess.. | 04:02 |
| * psusi sighs at the number of times things like update-grub and update-initramfs are still run during a dist-upgrade, despite dpkg-triggers | 04:19 | |

| c4pt | hi | 04:39 |
| c4pt | i was reading an log of this irc channel and i had a similar question to what i was reading | 04:39 |
| pipegeek | Hi, folks. It looks like the kernel option CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE was disabled lucid => maverick. Why was that done? I have some very old binaries that are oss-only, some of which open /dev/sequencer explicitly and which no longer work | 04:40 |
| c4pt | YokoZar, hello, what do you think about updating the packaging of ia32-libs for mesa-dri-experimental? like it is done in xorg-edgers ppa | 04:40 |
| c4pt | ricotz | 04:40 |
| c4pt | ^^ | 04:40 |
| pipegeek | Also, disabling CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE and friends breaks the oss-compat package. I've filed a bug report | 04:40 |

| ebroder | pipegeek: have you seen the padsp command? | 04:49 |
| pipegeek | I do, but I'm not sure how useful that is in the case of things that need /dev/sequencer | 04:50 |
| pipegeek | It's certainly not useful for things which explicitly *open* /dev/sequencer | 04:50 |
| ebroder | pipegeek: oh, sorry. i thought /dev/sequencer was one of the things padsp faked | 04:50 |
| pipegeek | I'm not sure. I thought padsp just overrode calls to the oss API | 04:51 |
| pipegeek | I thought it was an LD_PRELOAD hack | 04:51 |
| ebroder | it is an LD_PRELOAD hack, but it works by intercepting open() calls for /dev/mixer, /dev/sndstat, and /dev/dsp | 04:51 |
| pipegeek | oh neato | 04:51 |
| pipegeek | :) | 04:51 |
| pipegeek | OK, in any event..... is there a reason that was removed? Is there a reason it shouldn't be turned back on? | 04:52 |
| pipegeek | It is useful, now missing functionality | 04:52 |
| ebroder | I can't speak to the decision-making process, but I can only assume it's because OSS has been deprecated for years, so it was finally time to put it out to pasture? | 04:53 |
| pipegeek | I mean, I'm happy to build my own kernels for now, but .... a) if that was an intentional removal, then oss-compat should be removed from universe and b) I'd love to be able to partake in ubuntu security updates which I can't do if I'm rolling my own | 04:53 |
| pipegeek | ebroder: Is anything (except maybe a few kB) lost by leaving it in? | 04:54 |
| pipegeek | I know it's long since deprecated, but there are things that can't be rebuilt | 04:54 |
| pipegeek | and projects that petered out years ago | 04:54 |
| pipegeek | I'm a dreadfully unimportant case of this, but I'm sure there are others | 04:55 |
| pipegeek | I don't think it's been taken out of debian unstable | 04:55 |
| pipegeek | at the very least it'd be nice to have those modules there, even if they're not loaded by default | 04:56 |
| ebroder | pipegeek: Honestly, I have no idea why it was actually taken out | 04:57 |
| pipegeek | If I wanted to press the issue, what's the correct channel to go through? Should I file a feature request? | 04:57 |
| pipegeek | ebroder: yeah, and sorry for the textual deluge :) I'm just disappointed | 04:57 |
| ebroder | pipegeek: It's probably worth looking through the archives for the kernel-team mailing list to see if there's an explanation (http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kernel-team) | 04:58 |
| pipegeek | OK. Will do, and thanks | 04:58 |
| RAOF | TheMuso will have insight into the process, if he's around. | 04:58 |
| pipegeek | Is it alright (if I don't find a relevant thread) if I post to that list, or do I need to be an ubuntu developer or package maintainer? | 04:59 |
| ebroder | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-May/010647.html points to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/KernelMaverickConfigReview points to bug #579300 | 04:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 579300 in linux (Ubuntu) "Please disable CONFIG_SOUND_OSS* and CONFIG_SND_*OSS*" [Wishlist,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/579300 | 04:59 |
| pipegeek | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-May/010647.html | 05:00 |
| pipegeek | oh | 05:00 |
| pipegeek | ehehe | 05:00 |
| pipegeek | you beat mne :) | 05:00 |
| pipegeek | there's a lot of unhappiness in that bug | 05:01 |
| TheMuso | As as been said, OSS has been deprecated for ages. If your app still uses OSS and OSS only, then you need to find a new app, or request that the upstream author switches to ALSA or pulse, depending on what the app is, and who it targets. | 05:02 |
| TheMuso | Unfortunately we ran out of time to get ossproxy in Ubuntu maverick, hopefully it will be in for natty. | 05:02 |
| pipegeek | TheMuso: Does ossproxy handle /dev/sequencer? | 05:04 |
| TheMuso | pipegeek: No I don't think it does, as PulseAudio doesn't deal with MIDI at all. | 05:04 |
| pipegeek | TheMuso: which means anything that is trying to speak MIDI through OSS is now stranded. ossproxy/padsp aren't complete replacements for oss emulation in the kernel. | 05:04 |
| pipegeek | in my case, the app is a game whose maintainers stopped working on it ten years ago, and the svn repository went down a few years after that. I am supremely unimportant, but I don't doubt there are other old binaries floating around | 05:05 |
| TheMuso | Right, but OSS is deprecated. | 05:05 |
| TheMuso | Hrm ok. | 05:05 |
| pipegeek | Why not build the modules? | 05:05 |
| pipegeek | they don't have to be loaded by default, but having them there is tremendously useful for the few who need them. | 05:05 |
| pipegeek | and I believe they're still included in debian | 05:06 |
| TheMuso | Well Ubuntu and Debian's kernels tend to be rather vastly different. | 05:06 |
| pipegeek | hehe, fair enough | 05:06 |
| pipegeek | but.... why cut people off from OSS before linus decides it's time? | 05:06 |
| TheMuso | As for your use case, I think it bares consideration. | 05:06 |
| TheMuso | i.e re-enable OSS emulation for MIDI only. | 05:07 |
| pipegeek | that'd be nice :) | 05:07 |
| pipegeek | but if that's being done anyway, why not include all the modules (perhaps as a separate, installable/buildable package, ala sshfs et al)? | 05:08 |
| pipegeek | err, perhaps I shouldn't push my luck :) | 05:08 |
| pipegeek | yes. That would entirely solve my problem | 05:08 |
| pipegeek | or a userspace LD_PRELOAD hack to reroute /dev/sequencer to /dev/snd/midi | 05:08 |
| pipegeek | or something :) | 05:08 |
| ebroder | pipegeek: Wait, does /dev/snd/midi exist and function as a drop-in replacement for /dev/sequencer? | 05:09 |
| pipegeek | no | 05:10 |
| ebroder | oh. ok :) | 05:10 |
| TheMuso | ebroder: No, didfferent protocols etc, you have to go through alsa-lib to reliably use /dev/snd stuff. | 05:10 |
| pipegeek | err, I don't know. I'll try symlinking it and seeing if it works, but I really doubt the ioctls are the same | 05:10 |
| pipegeek | ebroder: what TheMuso said :) | 05:10 |
| ebroder | TheMuso, pipegeek: Got it. Sound is still on my list of "things where I vaguely know the terms but have no clue how they actually work" :) | 05:11 |
| ebroder | (I need to fix that at some point...) | 05:11 |
| pipegeek | TheMuso: Thank you very much for considering my case. | 05:11 |
| TheMuso | I'll see what can be done. | 05:11 |
| pipegeek | I really appreciate it. | 05:12 |
| rocket16 | Hello friends | 05:50 |
| rocket16 | Is it true that Ubuntu 11.04 will only have Unity as its default desktop? | 05:50 |
| persia | rocket16, That's complex. | 05:50 |
| persia | It's more true to say that "Ubuntu Desktop 11.04" will feature the Unity interface. | 05:51 |
| rocket16 | persia: Oh, I see. Then will GNOME be available by default as well? | 05:51 |
| persia | rocket16, Unity is mostly atop GNOME. I'm not sure what you mean by "available by default". | 05:52 |
| rocket16 | persia: Oh, many thanks. I just meant to say whether GNOME will be installed by default or not. But your answer already answered my question. Thanks. :) | 05:53 |
| rocket16 | Thanks for the help, persia. | 05:53 |

| pitti | stefanlsd: perhaps bzr imports the source packages with the patches already applied now? that's the way dpkg-source unpacks 3.0 (quilt) packagese | 08:29 |
| pitti | james_w: ^ ? | 08:29 |
| === hunger_ is now known as hunger | ||
| stefanlsd | pitti: i guess if thats the case, we def. need the .pc directory, as to build it needs to unapply | 08:32 |
| pitti | yes, with pre-applied patches you also need .pc/ | 08:32 |
| stefanlsd | pitti: yeah. there was talk about not importing .pc. in this case we cant do that. | 08:33 |
| pitti | in that case we shouldn't pre-apply patches | 08:33 |
| cjwatson | uh | 08:49 |
| cjwatson | it's a bit more complicated than that, IMO | 08:49 |
| cjwatson | 3.0 (quilt) must *always* be patches-applied except when you're actively editing patches; but importing .pc creates a lot of noise and it's tricky to figure out how to commit correctly atop that; http://bugs.debian.org/572204 is probably part of this | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | what I do at the moment is run http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/dpkg-quilt-setup if patches are applied but the .pc directory isn't there | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | but I think what we want is for bzr to set up the .pc on checkout, or similar | 08:52 |
| cjwatson | it's as yet an incompletely solved problem | 08:52 |
| pitti | cjwatson: why wouldn't we have .pc/ tracked in bzr in this case then? I thought the goal would be to mimic what apt-get source does, i. e. have a buildable tree? | 08:53 |
| cjwatson | I've never seen anyone get the commits right on top of that | 08:53 |
| pitti | if we want to require using bzr bd (which would be okay, I think), then we might just as well not apply the patches | 08:53 |
| pitti | I've not seen it either yet | 08:53 |
| cjwatson | the other longish-term approach is to represent the patches as a loom | 08:54 |
| cjwatson | if that ever works, then it should be good | 08:54 |
| pitti | that'd be even better | 08:54 |
| Laney | I thought that was agreed by the bzr guys at UDS, so hopefully there will be some movement there | 08:54 |
| pitti | right now it seems kind of silly that we don't use revision control for the things that would benefit most from it :) | 08:54 |
| cjwatson | I'd really rather not have unapplied patches though, that's just back to the bad old days | 08:54 |
| cjwatson | there are strong benefits to having things like bzr blame for 3.0 (quilt) | 08:55 |
| cjwatson | if the revision control representation is patches-applied, then you have blame across both upstream and distribution-patches transparently | 08:55 |
| === amitk-afk is now known as amitk | ||
| cjwatson | FWIW, I do 3.0 (quilt) in bzr outside udd, without committing .pc, and it works quite nicely for my purposes except that you have to do something like that dpkg-quilt-setup business on checkout | 09:01 |
| cjwatson | but IMO this is a small price to pay, and if bzr sorted it out automatically it would be nice and smooth | 09:01 |
| cjwatson | (I talked to the bzr developers about this at the last platform rally) | 09:01 |

| gamerpro2000 | Guys, I realize this is a dev channel, but I have a serious problem with Ubuntu that is dev related. | 15:26 |
| gamerpro2000 | Anybody in here got a minute to assist? | 15:26 |
| pitti_ | gamerpro2000: you should just ask your question, otherwise nobody will know what it is about | 15:27 |
| gamerpro2000 | ....................................................seriously? | 15:27 |
| gamerpro2000 | Yay! life! | 15:27 |
| pitti_ | (and some patience, please..) | 15:28 |
| gamerpro2000 | pitti_, sorry. I've been trying to develop a script and stuff to get this working for 9 weeks. patience is wearing thin | 15:28 |
| kirkland | pitti_: howdy; sorry, I don't get what you mean? | 15:29 |
| pitti_ | kirkland: now, if only I'd remember what I asked :) /me reads logs | 15:29 |
| gamerpro2000 | Anyway, XOrg is giving me a segmentation fault with a signal of 13 | 15:29 |
| gamerpro2000 | However, it only happens once and a while | 15:29 |
| pitti_ | kirkland: aah | 15:29 |
| kirkland | pitti_: the 3.7 release moved ~/.byobu to the xdg recommended location of ~/.local/share/byobu | 15:29 |
| pitti_ | kirkland: well, the changelog just said "UNRELEASED" | 15:29 |
| kirkland | pitti_: huh? really? | 15:30 |
| gamerpro2000 | and only about 25% of the time. I'm trying to patch Xorg to stop it from doing this. It seems that there is a buffer or something that's getting stuf | 15:30 |
| * kirkland checks | 15:30 | |
| pitti_ | kirkland: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/3.8-0ubuntu1 | 15:30 |
| gamerpro2000 | *stuck | 15:30 |
| pitti_ | gamerpro2000: signal 13 is SIGPIPE, not a buffer overflow | 15:30 |
| kirkland | pitti_: whoops, i wonder how that happened | 15:30 |
| gamerpro2000 | Because it happens several times over and over again, then once it comes out of it, it won't do it for several reboots | 15:30 |
| gamerpro2000 | pitti_, just so that you're aware, this is a multiseatX environment | 15:31 |
| kirkland | pitti_: okay, thanks for the heads up | 15:31 |
| pitti_ | kirkland: so I just joked about "you now accidentally released your s3kr1t stuff" :) | 15:31 |
| kirkland | pitti_: hah :-D | 15:31 |
| kirkland | pitti_: my release script broke somehow | 15:32 |
| gamerpro2000 | Much of this started happening when gdm and kdm updated, removing support for multiseat | 15:32 |
| gamerpro2000 | Does anybody know when the multiseat additions will be added back into the tree so that it will make it easy again for people to use multiseat | 15:33 |

| krisphillips | Hey guys, I realize you guys don't do support, but sine you guys are devs, I was wondering if you can tell me what this segmentation fault means from my logs? I would really appreciate it, since I've been beating my head against it for weeks. | 15:46 |

| pitti_ | kirkland: that's not a very useful stack trace, I'm afraid; did you get an apport report? | 15:49 |
| kirkland | pitti_: i did not | 15:49 |
| kirkland | :-) | 15:49 |

| segv` | There anyway to install 10.04 with the 10.10 CD? 2.6.32 likes to make my 'hdd's dissapear. 2.6.35 does not however. | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | not really | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | I suppose you could debootstrap and then fix it up afterwards, but that's definitely a "some assembly required" kind of option | 16:56 |
| segv` | Figured as much, i'm willing to dive in and build a livecd with a newer kernel on it, would that work? | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | I suppose. You can't just install 10.10 directly? | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | (since you said its kernel works) | 16:57 |
| segv` | I have it installed, I just want LTS (for various other reasons, compatibility etc.) and I have cfengine managing these machines | 16:58 |
| segv` | Like to keep them all the same version | 16:58 |
| segv` | So i don't have a one off other than kernel version. | 16:58 |
| psusi | should probably try to figure out what's wrong with 2.6.32 and fix it... | 16:59 |
| segv` | DID_BAD_TARGET is what happens, ICH7, USB drops out too during "hardware detection" | 17:00 |
| segv` | with acpi enabled, noacpi, usb doesn't drop. | 17:01 |
| segv` | 2.6.35 does not require any of these steps etc. | 17:01 |
| segv` | and it's alread in lucid-proposed so *shrug* | 17:01 |
| segv` | psusi: I really should, I just need this system up, it's a virtual server host it being down for > 24 hours is bad. | 17:07 |
| segv` | If I had time to debug, I would *love* to. | 17:07 |
| segv` | If I can find another D945GTP intel mboard with a 64bit proc for under 140 in the next week or two, i'll go down the gauntlet of debugging it | 17:08 |
| === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] | ||
| segv` | cjwatson: you think it's possible to use the kernel off of the 10.10 livecd and use it on the 10.04 livecd? | 17:25 |
| pitti | segv`: we already have a maverick kernel backport in lucid | 17:25 |
| segv` | pitti: (i can't install it w/out the livecd using it) | 17:26 |
| segv` | pitti: 2.6.32 (the version on the livecd) as soon as hardware detection goes through the hdd's become inaccessible | 17:27 |
| pitti | yeah, you'd need to remaster then | 17:27 |
| pitti | or perhaps try a netinstall; the expert mode should allow you to select a kernel, but I'm not quite sure whether this requires extra magic in d-i | 17:28 |
| segv` | pitti: that's what I was thinking, i was going to just add the lucid-proposed, where the linux-image-2.6.35 is hiding | 17:28 |
| segv` | to the live-cd giving me the ability to use it. | 17:28 |
| segv` | hmm, wish I knew how to make custom kernels work for the live-cd.. | 17:33 |
| segv` | pitti: Would copying over the kernel from the 10.10 cd work and just rebuild it? | 17:33 |
| pitti | segv`: I thought the 10.04 CD wouldn't even see your hard disk -- so no | 17:34 |
| segv` | it sees it it just dumps it | 17:34 |
| segv` | as soon as it gets to hardware detection is throw DID_BAD_TARGET errors (Read errors) | 17:35 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| segv` | Got it, figured out a pretty hack. | 17:48 |
| segv` | pitti: I booted with the 10.10 livecd just cloning a 10.04.1 install with the 2.6.35 kernel installed, just need to chroot grub install and done. Problem solved. | 17:48 |
