DrakesonI want to create a bootable {cd,dvd,usb stick,etc.}.  I can create a chroot by debootstrap.  I can also install grub2 on that partition.  Is there any *major* step that I might be missing?03:02
ebroderDrakeson: Checkout the livecd-rootfs package to see how the live CD's...rootfs's get built. There are a bunch of tweaks you probably want to do. Like, say, install a kernel for starters03:03

pittiScottK: XFCE upstream also made the switch, and the packages are currently flowing into natty, so at some point hal shold just drop to universe; then the upgrade should take care of auto-cleanup05:59

bilalakhtarGood morning dholbach !08:21
bilalakhtardholbach: What is the procedure of adding datasources to hall-of-fame.u.c?08:21
dholbachbilalakhtar, it's currently unmaintained and being rewritten08:21
dholbachbilalakhtar, but if you set up some kind of script that sets up a .csv file somewhere that is easy to parse I can add it08:22
dholbachjust send me an email08:22
bilalakhtarI have a script that writes it to an HTML08:22
dholbachhum08:22
dholbachI think it'd be better to just have the values08:22
bilalakhtardholbach: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bilalakhtar/papercutters-hall-of-fame.html08:22
bilalakhtardholbach: CSV would be easier08:22
bilalakhtarI would do the thing and mail you08:23
dholbachexcellent08:23
dholbachbilalakhtar, just "launchpad-id, number" is enough08:24
bilalakhtargood, will do surely08:25
bilalakhtardholbach: BTW, is it proprietary?08:25
dholbachbilalakhtar, yes, and the code sucks - it's really really bad stuff that contains passwords and all the rest of it08:27
dholbachthat's why it's being rewritten in django08:27
bilalakhtaroh08:27
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Spec/HallOfFameRewrite08:27
dholbachI had to finish it quickly back then and it's really horrible08:27
dholbachso I hope we can do it properly soon08:28
bilalakhtarwill do soon08:31
bilalakhtardholbach: Should the list limit the people to 10 or something? or will the hall of fame do that?09:00
dholbachbilalakhtar, I can limit it easily, no problem09:00

cjwatson(to Debian)11:37
cjwatsonMoM gets really upset by that kind of thing :)11:38
quadrisprocjwatson, maybe is it due to the fact that I use different quilt series?11:39
cjwatsonyou fixed it in -411:39
cjwatsonbut it was stuck trying to unpack -311:40
quadrisproahhh! yes11:40
cjwatsonwonder why that didn't get rejected on upload to Debian, though11:40
quadrisproyep, and this was actually 'cause of that I said above11:40
quadrisproI wrongly appended the patch to the quilt's ubuntu.series, so it got a little mess11:41
cjwatsonyou mean it failed to unpack in Ubuntu but not in Debian?11:42
quadrisprono, only in Debian, I didn't upload it to Ubuntu11:42
cjwatsonok11:42
cjwatsonstill; I think maybe MoM needs to be careful to ensure that the proper series file is used when unpacking11:43

jdstranddidrocks: hi! do you have a moment to talk about unity vs the old gnome desktop? today's update really broke me13:48
seb128jdstrand, just ask your question13:49
jdstrandheh13:49
seb128jdstrand, if your machine is not capable of 3d a fix has been uploaded13:49
jdstrandyes, I guess that is irc 101 isn't it13:49
seb128it will start gnome-panel for you13:49
didrocksjdstrand: sure, that's a tricky issue, I'll let you read that first: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2010-November/002689.html13:49
jdstrandwell, my machine is capable of running unity, but let me read that first13:50
didrocksthen, gnome-session has landed the change we needed last Monday and we will build a fallback solution for alpha213:50
seb128jdstrand, I guess that post will not reply to your question then13:50
seb128that's about fallbacks13:50
jdstrandok, so let me just say what happened13:51
jdstrandI'm running natty13:51
jdstrandevery once in a while, I try unity be enabling the plugin13:51
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
jdstrandin the past there were bugs that affected my productivity, so I disabled the unity compiz plugin and used the classic plugin13:52
jdstrandso today, I did a natty upgrade from within the classic session and rebooted13:52
jdstrandI login, expecting a classic session, and no gnome-panel is launched13:52
didrocksjdstrand: what do you call "classic session", the "Ubuntu classic desktop" or "Ubuntu Desktop session"13:52
seb128I guess the second one13:53
didrocksyou have two sessions in gdm13:53
jdstrandmy background is drawn, with icons, so it is partially started13:53
jdstranddidrocks: I was going by the language in that email thread you mentioned13:53
jdstrandthe traditional gnome desktop13:53
seb128jdstrand, so what you did is that your turned unity off from the unity session13:53
didrocksjdstrand: env | grep GDMSESSION13:53
didrocksyou are in the unity session, not the classic one13:53
seb128didrocks,  you should probably not let users do that :p13:53
=== ssj6akshat is now known as synapselover
didrocksseb128: already planned for alpha2, need to add "mandatory plugins" in compiz13:54
* jdstrand is confused13:54
didrocksjust I can't do everything in a round :)13:54
seb128jdstrand, you basically shoted yourself on this one13:54
jdstrandwhen I disabled the plugin, I would logout and back in and have the traditional gnome desktop13:54
seb128jdstrand, the "default" session is unity now13:54
jdstrandyes13:54
didrocksjdstrand: you shouldn't do that, unity plugin will be mandatory13:54
seb128jdstrand, well it used to do that because were still running gnome-panel13:54
seb128jdstrand, which we stopped now since we don't need it13:54
didrocksjdstrand: then, in gdm, you have a "Ubuntu Classic Session" which runs compiz + gnome-panel13:55
jdstrandmaybe that changed in today's update, but prior to today, I only saw one choice in gdm13:55
didrocksjdstrand: did you update to latest gnome-session?13:55
jdstrandand so I didn't know how to change to the traditional desktop13:55
=== synapselover is now known as ssj6akshat
didrocks2.32.1-0ubuntu2 should get it13:56
jdstrand2.32.1-0ubuntu313:56
didrocksso, you should get it in gdm13:56
jdstrandbtw, right this second I have:13:56
jdstrand$ env | grep GDMSESSION13:56
jdstrandGDMSESSION=gnome13:56
jdstrandbut with unity13:56
didrocksyeah, this is the default session13:56
didrocksyou have a gnome-classic one13:57
didrocksnamed Name=Ubuntu Classic Desktop13:57
jdstrandthe only way I could get antyhing to work was to right click on the desktop, create a launcher to ccsm and then check the unity plugin13:57
didrocksjdstrand: yeah, in the future, yo uwon't be able to remove the unity plugin in the default session13:57
didrocksjust not implemented yet13:57
jdstranddidrocks: so what I am hearing is that I should have a choice in gdm as to traditional vs unity. correct?13:57
didrocksjdstrand: right13:58
jdstrandok, let me try that13:58
didrockssure, keep me posted :)13:58
* jdstrand -> logs out13:58
jdstranddidrocks: ok, I have the choice and gdm is picking one or the other, and unity launches ok, but logging into the classic desktop results in no window manager and my bottom panel not launching14:04
didrocksjdstrand: of course, if you don't enable the unity plugin14:04
didrocksjdstrand: and the dynamic detection is something not easy, as pointed in my post14:04
jdstranddidrocks: I need to have the unity plugin enabled in the classic desktop??14:05
didrocksit would answer the question why we don't launch gnome-panel dynamically14:05
didrocksjdstrand: well, let's use the name of the session14:05
didrocksjdstrand: are you telling about gnome-classic.desktop or gnome.desktop?14:05
* jdstrand is just trying to use the terminology given in gdm now14:05
didrocksok14:05
didrocksso gnome-classic.desktop?14:05
jdstrandgdm said Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Desktop Classic or something14:05
seb128didrocks, gdm doesn't display the .desktop name14:05
jdstrandI chose Classic14:06
jdstrandmy top panel started14:06
didrocksjdstrand: ok, and no panel, nor window mananger?14:06
jdstrandI have no window manager14:06
jdstrandI don't have a bottom panel14:06
didrockshum, weird14:06
didrocksjdstrand: there is a drawing bug with the bottom panel, if you click on it, it doesn't appear?14:06
jdstrandsince I had a top panel, I tried to go to Appearance and verified my desktop effects14:07
didrocks(I'm more surprized by the now window manager)14:07
didrocksjdstrand: well, it doesn't work yet with the new compiz14:07
jdstrandthey were set to 'None' (odd, since I had them enabled prior to today)14:07
didrocksso, don't trust that14:07
didrocksok, so, let's see what can happens14:08
didrockshappen*14:08
didrocksif you don't have a windowmananger, that means that ctrl + alt + t isn't working, right,14:08
jdstrandI also tried launcing ccsm to verify that the unity plugin wasn't started-- it was not checked, but I didn't change anything14:08
jdstrandwell, hold on14:09
didrocksno, it's another compiz profile, so it should work without unity14:09
jdstrandlet me start irssi on my console and then I can go back and forth14:09
didrocksok :)14:09
* jdstrand logs out again14:09
jdstrandok, I am back14:11
didrocksok, so, you have no window manager at all? ctrl + alt + t doesn't bring you a terminal, for instance?14:12
jdstranddidrocks: no window manager. ctrl+alt+t does not bring up a terminal. if I launch it from Applications, it starts but has no borders, etc14:13
jdstranddidrocks: interestingly, this time both the top and the bottom panel started14:13
didrocksjdstrand: the bottom panel always started, it's just not drawn sometimes and you have to click on it to get the X window to be redrawn14:14
jdstranddidrocks: I can also say that the cursor is 'spinning' so it is working on starting something (this is on login, not ctrl+alt+t)14:14
didrocksI'm more concerned about the "no window manager part"14:14
jdstrandok14:14
didrocksone sec14:14
jdstrandps auxww| grep compiz gives nothing14:15
jdstrandsame with metacity14:15
jdstrandlet me try with a new user14:15
didrocksjdstrand: gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager14:15
jdstrandok, let me try that14:15
jdstranddidrocks: compiz14:16
didrocksjdstrand: can you try launching compiz in a terminal and pastebin the output?14:16
jdstrandk14:16
jdstranddidrocks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/538661/14:20
jdstranddidrocks: the segfault happened after two flashes14:20
jdstrandat least I think it was two...14:21
didrocksand you get unity on the ubuntu desktop session? (no compiz segfault)?14:21
jdstranddidrocks: yes14:21
didrocksoh, you have the ini backend14:21
seb128seems you standard profile is broken14:21
* jdstrand doesn't know what you are talking about14:22
didrocksseems that your profile is broken, right14:22
seb128jdstrand, the compiz config on your GNOME session14:22
didrockswell, you can easily reset it14:22
didrocksbut having it can be interesting14:22
jdstrandI try to not enable anything special in compiz14:22
didrocksjdstrand: so, can you please pack somewhere ~/.config/compiz-1 and then rename that?14:22
jdstrandI always just use 'Normal desktop effects'14:23
didrocks(also, do you have a ~/.config/compiz)14:23
dholbachjames_w, Daviey: if you have a tiny little bit of time could you review my harvest merge proposal?14:23
james_wdholbach, sure, link?14:23
jdstrandearlier this week I saw something with 'Extra effects for increased bling' or some such14:23
jdstrandso I did enable that14:23
jdstrandbut not the 'everything plus the kitchen sink' option14:23
dholbachjames_w, https://code.launchpad.net/~dholbach/harvest/581732/+merge/4095014:23
didrocksjdstrand: well, forget about the capplet for now, it's broken14:23
* Daviey dodged that bullet! :)14:24
didrocksjdstrand: so, can you please pack what I requested? :)14:24
jdstrandie, there were 4 options in Appearances/Desktop Effects, whereas in the past there were 214:24
seb128jdstrand, the desktop effects tab has not been updated for the new compiz14:24
jdstranddidrocks: I understand, I am just trying to give you history as to how I got here14:24
seb128jdstrand, so it might create issues14:24
seb128it might well screwed compiz 0.9 compiz14:25
jdstrandI do not have ~/.config/compiz14:25
didrocksjdstrand: ok, then just tar ~/.config/compiz-1 and remove it then14:25
didrocksjdstrand: you should remove it once under another windowmanager, like metacity --replace14:25
didrocksto avoid it dumping the config again14:25
mdzpitti, thanks for merging the apport python traceback stuff. if you get bug reports about cases I might have missed, let me know and I will try to fix them.14:26
pittimdz: thanks for improving that14:26
jdstranddidrocks: so I am in unity (so I could start firefox for the paste)14:26
jdstranddidrocks: I will logout of unity, then into classic, then try to start compiz manually, then tar up compiz-114:27
jdstranddidrocks: does that sound reasonable?14:27
jdstranddidrocks: ie, does that repeat my steps sufficiently?14:28
didrocksjdstrand: just add an additional step14:28
didrocksjdstrand: oh no sorry, that should work14:28
jdstrandok14:28
didrocks(if you confirm compiz is crashing :))14:28
jdstrandyes14:29
didrocksjust tar and rename compiz-1 without compiz running14:29
hallyn_oh, compiz was segfaulting?  i did not some weird behavior on my natty laptop, but wasn't at tis console enough to be able to play with it14:29

didrocksjdstrand: ok, you frigthened me :)14:36
jdstranddidrocks: the 08:29:39 was for my last login from a second ago14:36

jdstranddidrocks: oh sorry, I apparently had some from yesterday too that I hadn't noticed14:36
didrocksok14:36
didrocksso, compiz still segfaults for you?14:37
jdstranddidrocks: starting at 07:37:05 is after I upgraded this morning14:37
smosermvo, soren suggested i ping you about some bzr /launchpad branch stacking issues.14:37
didrocksjdstrand: well, with broken config and without a stacktrace doesn't really help :)14:37
smoseri think i'm getting the correct help in #launchpad though. (bzr-set-stacked-url)14:37
jdstranddidrocks: sure, but it is interesting that it is all happening in libstaticswitcher.so (for the most part)14:38
jdstrandanyway, let me move compiz-1 aside and see what happens14:38
didrocksjdstrand: right, but there are pending issue with the new mainloop14:38
didrocksjdstrand: so, it can be related14:38
jdstranddidrocks: ok, moving compiz-1 aside, I now have a window manager, but all kinds of applets have 'quit unexpectedly'. Trash, Show Desktop, System Monitor, Notification Area, Clock, Window List, and Workspace Switcher14:41
mvosmoser: if you could repush your old branches that would help, here is the background14:42
mvosmoser:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/68143114:42
ubottuUbuntu bug 681431 in Launchpad Bazaar Integration "confusing error when original stacked branch becomes invalid later" [Undecided,New]14:42
mvosmoser: but btw, I think this should be fixed in LP for all branches14:42
didrocksjdstrand: yeah, this is a know bug related to compiz vs gnome-panel race14:42
jdstranddidrocks: so I tried clicking 'Reload' on them, and it was working until I reloaded the system monitor, and compiz crashed and my panel went away14:42
mvosmoser: its not really going to scale if I/soren ping each and every branch owner14:42
mvosmoser: let me file a RT ticket14:42
smosermvo, yes, i would say it should be fixed on launchpad side, quite possibly results in loss of data.14:42
jdstrandmaybe my panel was there and I had to click on it, I don't know14:42
smoserwell, if user starts trying to "fix" things.14:43
didrocksjdstrand: this is due to compiz 0.9 and reparenting, sam is working on this but there can be a lot of side effects14:43
smosermvo, where would you want me to push them ?14:43
didrocksjdstrand: I have a workaround to minimize that, just try to delay gnome-panel load14:43
didrocksjdstrand: and remove the startup animation14:43
jdstranddidrocks: ok. I have noticed this in the past few weeks, so that seems no worse14:43
didrocksjdstrand: you will still get some, but less14:43
mvosmoser: its dosn't really matter, it seems like a push under a new name is enough to work around the problem14:43
seb128didrocks, I don't think delay works14:43
seb128didrocks, I've tried to wait 15 seconds, compiz crashes after clicking on a few "reload" buttons14:44
seb128and gnome-panel is still in a weird state14:44
seb128like applets not drawed14:44
didrocksseb128: I tried a sleep 5 && and didn't get any crash, but as it's a timing issue, I was just maybe lucky14:44
smosermvo, yeah. i got it fixed. maxb in #launchpad suggested http://j.maxb.eu/~maxb/bzr-set-stacked-url , then bzr reconfigure --unstacked (which is appropriate in this case)14:44
mvosmoser: aha, cool!  thanks14:44
jdstrandI have found that stopping gdm and logging in again usually works14:44
didrockslike the animation disabled, you got the issue less present14:44
maxbI really ought to get that thing built into bzr core14:44
mvosmoser: I want to keep vmbuilder in a vaguely working state would be nice to unitfy 0.11 and 0.12 again14:45
didrocksjdstrand: yeah, because it's loading faster as it's in the cache (that's my guess) and so compiz doesn't have to cope with it…14:45
smosermvo, yeah... i have gone rogue on 0.11, i agree.14:45
smoser:)14:45
jdstranddidrocks: right, that was my guess too14:45
mvosmoser: ;)14:45
didrocksjdstrand: hopefully, we'll have a fix end of week/next week but they can have drawbacks (right now, with the new reparenting event, all menus are disabled :))14:46
jdstranddidrocks: anyway, it seems I am back to the state I was in yesterday-- a racy classic desktop, but at least I can work14:46
smoserand, i agree, it would be good to have vmbuilder in a working state, but for me, i have a functional uec image build process, and getting that onto 0.12 doesn't benefit me at all, just costs me.14:46
didrocksjdstrand: yeah, sorry for that, and thanks for the configuration, I sent it to upstream14:46
smoseralso, before moving to 0.12, i'd consider live-helper14:46
jdstranddidrocks: thanks for your time. you might want to get the word out on not disabling the unity plugin in ccsm, cause people are blogging about how that is the right way to disable unity14:47
didrocksjdstrand: yeah, but my server is in a box as I'm moving so my blog is down, I'll try to get that soon :)14:47

jdstranddidrocks: thanks again14:48
didrocksjdstrand: you're welcome :)14:48

didrocksjdstrand: thanks :)14:49
didrocksseb128: yeah, can do that14:49
jdstranddidrocks: do you need a bug filed for the compiz-1 business are are we good?14:50
smosermvo, well, while i'm extremely *not* interested in starting a flame war, the interest in live-build would be centered around perceived livelyhood/maintainance of vmbuilder.14:50

mvosmoser: fair enough, I don't have strong feelings either way, I just need something to build image for my upgrade tester :)14:51
smoserexactly.  no politics involved, i want something that works, and is likely to be maintained in the future.14:51
smosermvo, fwiw, my opinion, is of course, that you should use our images on ec2 for your upgrade tester :)14:53
mvosmoser: will they work with kvm?14:53
smoserthe uec images "sort of" work with kvm.14:53
smoserhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Images14:53
mvointeressting, I have a look14:54
mvoI need them as kvm as often its useful/iimportant to run it on the local machine for better control etc14:54
smoseryeah, i understand that they might not fit the bill.14:54
smoserbut on ec2, you can fairly easily start an instance of a fully updated M and 'do-release-upgrade -d'14:55
smoserwith local mirrors, and instance start up is < 2 minutes ,and all automatiable.14:55
mvoyeah, the release upgrader tester has a ec2 backend (that is not used much though)14:55
mvoone of the disadvantages of the ec2 test is that it does not test the kernel upgrade and the xserver (both will be done with kvm). however that is only a tiny disadvantage as most problems are from the packages (maintainer script issues etc)14:56
smoserkernel upgrade works in maverick and going forward14:57
smoserand i'm working on getting that into 10.0414:58
