[00:01] Sarvatt, btw I did another test of installing fglrx with usb keys, after backing off the amount of persistent storage space by 800M. Still got an error trying to activate the proprietary driver. Gonna try again with only a 1G persistent partition, which should leave >2G for system files. [00:02] bryceh: it's uninstallable in general because of the second part of that bug, no vmlinuz symlink on the liveusb [00:02] Sarvatt, ah right [00:03] bug #557023 [00:03] install it via apt-get and you'll see the error about the missing or broken vmlinuz instead of the lzma encoder error when you do have the free space [00:03] Launchpad bug 557023 in usb-creator (Ubuntu Natty) (and 3 other projects) "update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory (affects: 204) (dups: 159) (heat: 1372)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/557023 [00:03] * Sarvatt pokes the bot [00:04] wooo thats a lot of dupes for a non intel bug! [00:04] hehe [00:04] oh heck, I completely forgot about the intel SRU! [00:05] alright let me re-do the bug from scratch with the /vmlinuz symlink manually created. [00:06] I'm gonna get this class of bug definitively off our plate [00:06] (if I were less lazy I'd code up a fix it myself) [00:11] bryceh: going to be around tomorrow or are you headed off on vacation too? :) [00:12] I'm not going on vacation. I think I might be getting sick though so may or may not be around [00:12] my son's been sick the past few days and now my wife has it, and I can't imagine that I'll escape unscathed [00:13] yeesh everyone with kids is getting it right now! :) [00:17] everyone else will get it at the sprint [00:22] hmm, fglrx successfully installed... but now usb drive no longer boots. wtf. [00:23] here we go [00:24] weird, had to specifically select usb in bios this time [00:42] ...and it went back to -ati instead of -fglrx. hrmph [00:43] you installed it with jockey right? update-alternative --list gl_conf? [00:43] update-alternatives rather [00:45] dont get an xorg.conf outside of jockey and I just mentioned doing it via apt-get to see the error is why I ask :) [00:45] Sarvatt: Please let me know if you need sponsorship/testing for the Intel SRU. [00:48] yeah, used jockey to install [00:49] update-alternative --list gl_conf [00:49] /usr/lib/mesa/ld.so.conf [00:50] ScottK: it's going to take an hour or two to review the dupes, get the SRU justification info into the bug and get it packaged properly for -proposed, can I bother you for help with it tomorrow? been trying to get off the PC for 2 hours now [00:50] Sarvatt: Sure. I'll be around. [00:50] fwiw, I'm using an alpha-1 image here [00:50] ScottK: thanks a ton for that! [00:50] hmm this is also weird [00:51] did an upgrade via Update Manager [00:51] bryceh: hmm, thats VERY odd [00:51] failed... sudo dpkg --config -a shows this error: [00:51] Sarvatt: Purely selfish.

[00:58] ahh that's a different bug [00:59] OK. Can we knock them together into one SRU? [00:59] That's the one I thought you were doing. [00:59] ScottK: awesome, that patch referenced does indeed look like it'll fix that problem [01:00] Sarvatt: Right, so if you could include that, I'd be super motivated to help. [01:00] bryceh: what's the status of xorg-server in maverick? did you have a SRU queued? [01:01] Sarvatt, yep, posted it yesterday, but it's blocked by another sru that's been stuck in the queue since november [01:01] ahh darn, ScottK's bug needs a fix in the server too [01:02] bryceh: Maybe we should have that one rejected, do just this one and then reupload the other one. [01:02] The logout one should be very easy to quickly verify [01:17] alright, I'm officially done with #685017. I can't figure it out, seems something peculiar with the filesystems. I've documented as much as I sorted out, and I'm 95% certain it's not the driver's fault. Someone else will need to figure it out from there. [01:20] so things will probably improve a smidge once timo comes on [01:21] bryceh: I'm absolutely completely 100% stumped too and have written it off to aufs magic I don't understand at the moment [01:22] last time I successfuly did it that I remember was one of the lucid alpha releases [01:22] hmm [01:23] yeah I think it's probably better debugged at this point by someone who understands the filesystem magic more deeply [03:06] Sarvatt, my source package keeps freezing at 1k left. it will not finish uploading for some reason. does x-updates still work? [03:09] bjsnider: try upload.ubuntu.com?

[05:35] Sarvatt, ? [05:35] http://www.bryceharrington.org/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/totals-natty-workqueue.svg [05:35] my mind is blown :) [05:35] :-) staying on top of the bug queue is paying off [05:36] yeah thats crazy, post alpha 1 and 3 bugs.. [05:36] *nod* [05:36] hmm then again [05:36] http://www.bryceharrington.org/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/totals-maverick-workqueue.svg [05:36] june 3rd maverick A1 [05:36] yeah was just about to mention that [05:37] guess I was thinking of the lucid chart that started late in the cycle :) [05:37] the knee in that curve came around 2nd week of august [05:38] plus, we haven't pulled in all the new X bits and pieces [05:38] week after alpha 3 then [05:38] most of the bug reports I've seen have ended up being bugs in other non-X things [05:38] yeah true everythings just been juicy bug fixes vs lucid [05:38] err maverick [05:39] so maybe 50% of the bugs still aren't "fixed", it's just that the bug was misfiled [05:40] one of the -intel bugs I forwarded upstream today, so not technically fixed, but there's nothing more we can do about it [05:40] yeah, poor unity/compiz stealing all the bugs away :) [05:40] heh [05:40] at least it's not exposing new X issues (yet...) [05:41] yeah no clutter abusing glx in painful ways is a huge win :) [05:42] but my theory is that a lot of bugs that get filed are actually dupes of some underlying issue [05:42] so one bug closed today may mean 10 or 100 that never get filed tomorrow [05:44] it'd be cool to show the total bugs in maverick at the corresponding point in time, so we can see for natty how much better we're doing [07:38] bryceh: hah, registered dutch on launchpad already? [07:44] ok I officially hate how this computer freezes every other day [07:45] Sarvatt, yeah of course gotta get dutch his launchpad id! [07:45] every other day? on natty!? I've had 6 freezes today already, 2 were kernel panics [07:46] this is on maverick [07:46] pondering upgrading it [07:47] I suspect it might be hw or memory issues; I have lots of weird random firefox crashes too, and it seems like every freeze is different [07:49] i might upgrade to natty after the holidays.. [07:49] heya tjaalton [07:49] howdy [07:49] just in time for all the really bad breakage to hit!
