| kirkland | achiang: howdy man | 00:17 |
| kirkland | achiang: wassup? | 00:17 |
| kirkland | achiang: wanna meet me in Aspen in a couple of weeks? :-P | 00:17 |
| kirkland | achiang: i have a saturday/sunday on the slopes coming up in a few weeks :-) | 00:17 |
| achiang | kirkland: ooh | 00:22 |
| achiang | kirkland: what weekend? i'm actually skiing silverton over president's day | 00:22 |
| achiang | kirkland: i have a relatively fresh maverick install, just installed virt-manager, and trying to create a VM, running into: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/556023/ | 00:26 |
| kirkland | achiang: hmm, interesting | 00:28 |
| kirkland | achiang: what does 'id' say about your user | 00:28 |
| kirkland | achiang: i'm interested in what groups its a member of | 00:29 |
| kirkland | achiang: specifically, you should be in the kvm and libvirtd groups | 00:29 |
| kirkland | achiang: the packaging should have added that for you | 00:29 |
| achiang | kirkland: i'm in libvirtd, but not kvm | 00:29 |
| kirkland | achiang: but if not, sudo usermod -a -G kvm $USER | 00:29 |
| kirkland | achiang: but if not, sudo usermod -a -G libvirtd $USER | 00:29 |
| kirkland | achiang: then you'll need to logout of all sessions and log back in (or just reboot) | 00:30 |
| kirkland | achiang: that's the most common mistake i've seen | 00:30 |
| achiang | ok, back in a jiffy | 00:30 |
| achiang | kirkland: but the packaging didn't add it | 00:30 |
| achiang | kirkland: should be easily recreatable | 00:30 |
| achiang | back in a sec | 00:30 |
| kirkland | achiang: right, well, the packaging adds libvirtd, maybe/maybenot kvm | 00:30 |
| kirkland | achiang: k | 00:30 |
| soren | You don't need to be in the kvm group. | 00:30 |
| kirkland | achiang: right, as soren is about to tell you, the kvm thing is now handled automagically by PolicyKit | 00:31 |
| soren | Um. No :) | 00:31 |
| soren | If you use the systemwide libvirt daemon (which you do if you're a member of libvirtd), you don't need to be a member of kvm. | 00:31 |
| soren | Besides, I think the time is ripe for chmod 666 /dev/kvm. It doesn't give you any privileges anymore that are worth containing. | 00:32 |
| achiang | back | 00:32 |
| achiang | trying again | 00:32 |
| achiang | and just read scrollback. :) | 00:33 |
| achiang | kirkland: soren: hm, adding myself to kvm group and restarting seemed to help on one machine | 00:34 |
| kirkland | achiang: rock | 00:34 |
| achiang | on another machine, i went into advanced options, deleted the console device, and it too could start | 00:34 |
| achiang | (without being in kvm) | 00:34 |
| achiang | so... is this a bug i should file? | 00:35 |
| kirkland | achiang: okay, glad to hear you're sorted out | 00:35 |
| kirkland | achiang: i'm not sure I understand the situation clearly enough to say so | 00:35 |
| kirkland | achiang: to be on the safe side, i'd say "yes" | 00:35 |
| achiang | kirkland: ok. i'll try and see if i can reproduce it | 00:35 |
| kirkland | achiang: mdeslaur maintains virt-manager for the most part | 00:35 |
| kirkland | achiang: cool, thanks. | 00:35 |
| soren | achiang: You basically need to be a member of either libvirtd or kvm. libvirtd is cooler, because it lets you fiddle with networking. | 00:36 |
| soren | ...but to just run virtual machines, either works. | 00:36 |
| achiang | kirkland: ok, i'll just file it against virt-manager, but won't assign it to anyone | 00:36 |
| kirkland | achiang: as for skiing, i'm out there the weekend of Feb 5/6 | 00:36 |
| achiang | kirkland: another weird thing, i thought i had qemu-kvm installed, but when trying to create a machine, it says kvm is not installed | 00:36 |
| kirkland | achiang: ah, well, then, that'll make it hard to run vm's :-) | 00:37 |

| dholbach | good morning | 08:07 |
| didrocks | good morning | 08:12 |
| Tm_T | K'day | 08:13 |
| soren | ebroder: What's so interesting about the kvm subsystem that you want to limit access to it? | 08:15 |
| davmor2 | morning dholbach | 08:15 |
| dholbach | hey davmor2 | 08:16 |
| soren | ebroder: I can't consume any more resources through it than you could otherwise do just with malloc or a tight loop. It's not like there's a limited supply of /dev/kvm or anything. Nor can you screw up other people's VM's. There's really no reason to limit access to it. | 08:16 |
| soren | ebroder: Once upon a time, having access to /dev/kvm meant you could lock memory pages in RAM. So a malicious user could create a VM with as much memory as the host, and you were DOS'ed. | 08:17 |
| soren | ebroder: Nowadays, KVM memory can be paged out, so it's no different from just malloc(<size of host ram>). | 08:18 |
| ebroder | soren: i'm more concerned about security issues. i basically trust unix file permissions. not sure whether i want to trust kvm any more than i have to | 08:23 |
| soren | ebroder: I'm not sure what you mean? | 08:24 |
| ebroder | in a nutshell, principle of least privilege | 08:24 |
| soren | ebroder: The memory of a virtual machine is as easy or difficult to get to as the memory of any other process. | 08:24 |
| ebroder | you're missing my point. i'm not concerned about the security of the guests. i'm concerned about the security of the host | 08:25 |
| soren | so am I. And I don't believe /dev/kvm exposes anything that compromises the host's security. | 08:27 |
| ebroder | you're assuming kvm is bug-free | 08:27 |
| soren | Not really. | 08:28 |
| soren | ..but the other 99.99% of the kernel isn't either. | 08:28 |
| soren | Yet we don't limit people's access to open sockets, for instance. | 08:28 |
| ebroder | sure, but it's all about minimizing the attack surface | 08:28 |
| soren | We could. | 08:28 |
| soren | but we don't. Because it's silly. | 08:28 |
| ebroder | and we are starting to patch out autoloading of obscure protocols and stuff | 08:29 |
| soren | a) kvm is not obscure | 08:29 |
| soren | b) there are bugs in non-obscure parts of the kernel, too | 08:29 |
| soren | I just don't subscribe to the idea of amputating my system to the point of uselessness in the name of security. | 08:30 |
| soren | I think this is a symptom of "oh, wow, there's a device node for this stuff! Let's limit access to it!" | 08:31 |
| ebroder | uselessness? it's not useless to reduce my attack surface by a whole subsystem when i personally run all of my vms managed by the system libvirtd | 08:32 |
| soren | I understand that we've worked around these limitations for kvm. I know. I did it. | 08:33 |
| ebroder | limitation? i'm not doing that because i think i have to | 08:33 |
| soren | Well, whatever you want to call it. | 08:34 |
| soren | We've worked around the fact that access to /dev/kvm has historically been restricted. | 08:34 |
| soren | If kvm had been implemented by way of a syscall interface, noone would have thought of trying to impose artificial limitations on access to it. | 08:35 |
| soren | (syscalls other than ioctl, that is) | 08:35 |
| soren | Anyway, this is going nowhere. | 08:36 |
| soren | and fast. | 08:36 |

| dpm | hi chrisccoulson, thanks for merging danilo's po2xpi branch. Do you think you could now look at automatically uploading the xpi's with every package upload, as we discussed? The easiest way I can think of is simply fetching them from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b9/linux-i686/xpi/, and I guess it shouldn't be too different to what you are already doing for getting the translations for the Thunderbird locale packages | 10:02 |

| Chipzz | ari-tczew: well, for one, the "fix" for https://code.launchpad.net/~barry/ubuntu/maverick/computer-janitor/bug-665740/+merge/46039 looks OBVIOUSLY incorrect | 15:10 |
| Chipzz | you should fix the python-dbus package instead of working around a bug in it | 15:11 |
| barry | Chipzz: perhaps, but would that have too much impact for an sru? | 15:12 |
| ari-tczew | Chipzz: hehehe, you're looking for hole in the whole | 15:12 |
| ari-tczew | the subject is a response for core-dev | 15:12 |

| ari-tczew | Chipzz: nobody is perfect, maybe you? | 15:16 |
| === kirkland_ is now known as kirkland | ||
| Chipzz | barry: there's the question of what you should fix in an SRU in the first place; ignoring wether that bug is a candidate or not, fact is you should try to keep the changes minimal, which among other things means trying not the fix the same issue in different ways; and since you most likely want to fix the issue in the development release too, and you want to do it the proper way there, I think the best thing to do would be to fix it in python-dbus | 15:17 |
| Chipzz | ari-tczew: sigh :p | 15:17 |
| Chipzz | ari-tczew: I was looking at your sentence for 10 seconds, trying to understand it. then I looked again. and then I gave up trying to figure it out | 15:18 |
| soren | I'm not sure why python-dbus should depend on dbus? | 15:18 |
| barry | btw, python-dbus depends on libdbus-1-3 | 15:18 |
| barry | which makes sense, but i think soren has a point | 15:19 |
| barry | and libdbus-1-3 recommends dbus | 15:19 |
| Chipzz | I don't see why computer-janitor should depend on dbus actually | 15:19 |
| soren | Now that is a different matter. I don't know. | 15:20 |
| barry | Chipzz: because the core functionality is in a dbus service (in >=maverick) | 15:20 |
| asac | csurbhi: hey ... quick question. mkfs.btrfs has no -U option. are uuids not supported for btrfs? | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | barry: errr, I'm just making a wild guess here, but how about "No Scott"? :p | 15:20 |
| Chipzz | barry: you don't have every pygtk application depending on libgtk now, do you? | 15:21 |
| barry | Chipzz: now you're not making sense :) | 15:21 |
| Chipzz | barry: if your app talks to dbus via python-dbus, then the dependency is on python-dbus, not dbus | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | c-j also ships its own dbus service; it isn't merely a client | 15:22 |
| barry | Chipzz: i think it's a different case. libgtk is a library but dbus is a service | 15:23 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: then it's a matter of how the dbus service interfaces with dbus, isn't it? | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | at least some other packages that ship dbus system-services depend on dbus directly (e.g. consolekit) | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | there is clearly precedent | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | system-tools-backends | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | avahi-daemon, network-manager | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | etc. | 15:23 |
| Chipzz | barry: imo they're both bindings, which is why the 2 cases should be treated the same | 15:24 |
| barry | Chipzz: i think the analogy would be to libdbus though, not dbus | 15:24 |
| cjwatson | depending on dbus directly seems correct to me. it's relying on the dbus daemon directly and the dependency should be direct. | 15:24 |
| cjwatson | I'm happy to sponsor that SRU as written | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | (and will do so shortly | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | ) | 15:25 |
| barry | cjwatson: thanks. Chipzz and ari-tczew thanks also for the feedback. :) | 15:25 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: if you think it's correct, I'll stop arguing about it, but it still looks wrong to me | 15:26 |
| ari-tczew | Chipzz: :) :) :) | 15:26 |
| Chipzz | but I have to go offline anyway | 15:26 |
| cjwatson | I think it's correct and that your analogy is faulty given the specifics of this package, yes | 15:26 |
| soren | Chipzz: They're not both bindings. | 15:26 |
| soren | Chipzz: dbus is the daemon. | 15:26 |
| cjwatson | if you were talking about libdbus, the analogy would be sound | 15:26 |
| cjwatson | but that's not (only) what's at issue here | 15:26 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: my reasoning is that the dependency chain should likely be app -> python-dbus -> libdbus -> dbus | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | that reasoning is faulty, because this application uses dbus in ways other than via python-dbus | 15:27 |
| Chipzz | since it makes little sense to have an app linked against dbus (be it client or service) without having dbus available | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | specifically by shipping a dbus system-service | 15:27 |
| Chipzz | anyway gtg | 15:27 |
| === bjf[afk] is now known as bjf | ||
| pitti | Chipzz: think of optional plugins | 15:31 |
| pitti | Chipzz: e. g. bzr-gtk annouces commits over session dbus, but it's only a bonus feature; so bzr-gtk would certainly depend on python-dbus (to not crash), but not on dbus (since it works without) | 15:32 |
| soren | You can also use libdbus without the dbus daemon. | 15:34 |
| soren | upstart does, for instance. | 15:34 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| cjwatson | right, and in any case inserting an extra dependency further down the stack has *more* risk of regressions, not less, so I'd argue it'd be less appropriate for an SRU even if it were correct (which I don't think it is) | 15:35 |
| pitti | *nod* | 15:35 |
| barry | cjwatson: right, that was my thinking too | 15:35 |
| doko_ | mvo: ping http://launchpadlibrarian.net/61917866/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.update-manager_1%3A0.145.10_MANUALDEPWAIT.txt.gz | 15:36 |
| doko_ | siretart: ping | 15:38 |
| barry | so, here's an unrelated, but general question. i've seen this a few times with packages i'm doing test builds with (latest example: python-webkit). i branch the source from ubuntu:python-webkit, then bzr bd -S (or debuild -S). dpkg-source exits w/status 255 because "Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but Maintainer does not have Ubuntu address". this is true, but what's the right way to handle this for local builds? i've just | 15:40 |
| barry | been running update-maintainer before doing a local build, but why hasn't that already been done for a -XubuntuY version? | 15:40 |
| doko_ | pitti: libreoffice-common: is this still true with the -2ubuntu2 version? | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | probably because the last person who changed it in Ubuntu doesn't have @ubuntu.com in their DEBEMAIL so dpkg-source didn't error out on that | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | for quick local builds, I usually do DEBEMAIL=something@else debuild ... | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | (I might mean debuild -eDEBEMAIL=something@else ..., I forget) | 15:42 |
| pitti | doko_: seems to be the same size as ubuntu1, according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:3.3.0~rc3-2ubuntu2/+buildjob/2183350 | 15:42 |
| barry | cjwatson: ah, i didn't realize dpkg-source looks at DEBEMAIL (not obvious from manpage afaict). thanks | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | it was a hack to try to get people to DTRT in their uploads without impeding *too* many people's local builds when people get it wrong | 15:44 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| * barry loves social change by technological hack :) | 15:45 | |
| Laney | DEBEMAIL= debuild works, yeah | 15:45 |
| barry | yep, wfm, thanks! | 15:45 |
| Laney | it at least means that most uploaders remember, even if the contributor does not | 15:45 |
| cjwatson | my other dodgy hack along those lines is that I occasionally do debuild -ePATH=$HOME/fake-debconfpo:$PATH -S | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | where $HOME/fake-debconfpo is a directory containing only a symlink from debconf-updatepo to /bin/true | 15:47 |
| soren | Heh. | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | this is helpful in cases where packages call debconf-updatepo on build and I don't want them to (e.g. because I'm building for lucid on natty and gettext's default header has changed) | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | just about anything can be worked around if you try hard enough ... | 15:48 |

| hallyn | when exactly does <package>.postinst get called? I assume it's after 'binary_arch: install' from debian/rules? | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | hallyn: well after - when the user calls dpkg --configure (perhaps via dpkg -i, perhaps via apt-get, etc.) | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | so on a completely different machine from that running debian/rules in most cases | 17:09 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| hallyn | oh. hm. | 17:09 |
| hallyn | so if files are being installed which should belong to a new groupname, if that groupname is created in the .postinst, is that good enough? I was thinking the system would refuse to create files owned by nonexisted group | 17:10 |
| kirkland | achiang: yup | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | hallyn: if the files are being created at run-time (e.g. in the postinst, or when the program is run), then the postinst is good enough | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | (and Depends: adduser) | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | hallyn: if you're shipping these files in the .deb, then you need to run adduser in the preinst, and Pre-Depends: adduser | 17:12 |
| achiang | kirkland: hm, BIOS claims that VT-D and VT-X are turned on, yet kvm-ok disagrees | 17:12 |

| hallyn | cjwatson: thanks, that was my guess, except i had no idea about Pre-Depends | 17:13 |

| ebroder | slangasek, cjwatson: my understanding was that "user sessions" was just about letting users have a ~/.upstart with jobs that could only run as them. i don't think they run under a PAM session or anything currently, though it seems like they probably should | 19:10 |
| ebroder | (that's what i remember seeing on the branch, anyway) | 19:10 |
| tkamppeter | directhex, is this one PPD (for yopur printer) or a series of PPDs? | 19:12 |
| directhex | tkamppeter, it's two ppds for two near-identical multifunction devices (only difference is the fax, and i don't think the ppd supports that anyway) | 19:13 |
| directhex | tkamppeter, seems they've been localized, so 6 pairs of PPDs for the FS-C2026MFP and FS-C2126MFP - where the only difference between the two is the product names in the PPD | 19:16 |

| slangasek | ebroder: so integration with pam there buys you: - kerberos/afs credentials for the job; - honoring of pam_limits; - incompatibility with pam_ck_connector | 19:28 |
| kees | SpamapS: is there any movement towards having a place for global env vars too? | 19:31 |
| SpamapS | kees: I've not discussed or heard anything about it. I was looking to see how we could take advantage of the kernel passing its cmdline to init in the env. | 19:37 |
| kees | ah-ha | 19:37 |
| SpamapS | kees: it would make perfect sense for it to end up in /etc/init.conf though | 19:37 |
| kees | SpamapS: are there plans for such a file? | 19:37 |
| SpamapS | it exists now | 19:38 |
| SpamapS | and must be 0 bytes | 19:38 |
| SpamapS | or rather, it can exist now | 19:38 |
| SpamapS | kees: so just have to parse the env stanza from there, and have upstart add that to things it copies into a new instances' environment. | 19:39 |
| * SpamapS just abused the apostrophe .. poor apostrophe | 19:39 | |
| kees | "must be 0 bytes" ? | 19:39 |
| SpamapS | kees: yeah, it parses the file, but there are no allowed stanzas | 19:40 |

| bcurtiswx_ | if i wanted to check to see if a builder reaches a certain part of code, is there a code I can cause it to pause with an echo statement ? | 19:43 |
| directhex | tkamppeter, you know, there seem to be lots of models like this. i wonder if they have a unified ppd tarball anywhere | 19:44 |
| ebroder | slangasek: PAM integration couldn't get you credentials because it doesn't have access to any. that's only any good if you're running through the password stack | 19:45 |
| cjwatson | bcurtiswx_: 'echo foo; sleep 3600' or whatever? | 19:45 |
| cjwatson | why pause? is this for a local build? | 19:46 |
| bcurtiswx_ | cjwatson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/556278/ is my fail | 19:47 |
| slangasek | ebroder: I'm presuming that the job is being spawned from within a user login session, so the creds are already available in the environment and just need to be copied/preserved for use | 19:47 |
| bcurtiswx_ | so i went to empathy-chat-window.c and a patch adds "#include empathy-indicator-manager.h" so it _should_ see it | 19:47 |
| bcurtiswx_ | cjwatson, ^^ | 19:48 |
| bcurtiswx_ | im just trying to debug, see if it enters a ifdef with the header definitions | 19:48 |
| cjwatson | bcurtiswx_: you want gcc -E -dD | 19:49 |
| === charlie-tca__ is now known as charlie-tca | ||
| cjwatson | bcurtiswx_: that's not a missing #ifdef, though, that's an incorrect link line | 19:49 |
| sveinse | How I can start the pulseaudio daemon when not in X on maverick? I need sound, but the system is not running X, however I fail to start the PA daemon | 19:50 |
| bcurtiswx_ | cjwatson, where is this done.. im using pbuilder | 19:50 |
| cjwatson | bcurtiswx_: any symbol used by empathy-chat-window.o must be placed *after* empathy-chat-window.o on the link line ('gcc -g -O2 -g -O2 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -o empathy-chat ...') | 19:50 |
| sveinse | someone knows where and how PA is started during X11 user login? | 19:50 |
| cjwatson | pbuilder is irrelevant | 19:50 |
| sbeattie | bcurtiswx_: something wants to link against libgtk-x11-3.0; however -ltk-x11-2.0 | 19:52 |
| sbeattie | is being linked against. | 19:52 |
| cjwatson | well, there's that too, but that isn't the cause of the errors after it | 19:53 |
| bcurtiswx_ | hmm, this is where i'd be lost. https://code.launchpad.net/~bcurtiswx/ubuntu/natty/empathy/empathy-2.91.5 is where i've pushed the patches.. i think you'd want to see debian/patches/20_libindicate.patch | 19:54 |
| bcurtiswx_ | cjwatson, ^^ or where would I look to fix this | 19:54 |
| cjwatson | I imagine you need to add empathy-indicator.c to empathy_chat_SOURCES in src/Makefile.am (or something along those lines) | 19:57 |
| cjwatson | you need to link the objects you're using | 19:57 |
| cjwatson | (empathy-indicator-manager.c too) | 19:57 |
| bcurtiswx_ | cjwatson, i have done that.. then I have to keep adding a whole bunch of .c and .h files to the chat_SOURCES | 19:58 |
| cjwatson | then you probably forgot to rerun automake | 19:58 |
| cjwatson | automake generates src/Makefile.in from src/Makefile.am | 19:59 |
| bcurtiswx_ | cjwatson, oh, where would I make it do that then? | 19:59 |
| cjwatson | get #ubuntu-desktop to help you integrate that into the package, they do this all the time and have their own patterns | 19:59 |
| cjwatson | mind you /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk is supposed to do that | 19:59 |
| cjwatson | god knows, I can't stand cdbs :) | 20:00 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i've been working on and off with seb128 and kenvandine | 20:00 |
| bcurtiswx_ | actually.. | 20:00 |
| === hanska is now known as dapal | ||
| bcurtiswx_ | so somehow I have to get it to rerun automake after the patches are added | 20:01 |
| cjwatson | the way your package is set up, it should be doing that automatically already | 20:01 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i'll ask in -desktop | 20:01 |
| cjwatson | anyway, if it were me, I would be very carefully looking through the build log to see if autoreconf is being run; then I would compare the failing gcc line printed in the build log with what's in src/Makefile.am and src/Makefile.in | 20:01 |
| cjwatson | and probably src/Makefile for good measure | 20:02 |
| cjwatson | if those three files don't match I'd go looking for problems in the generation code somewhere | 20:02 |
| nxvl | juliank: ping | 20:02 |
| tkamppeter | directhex, I must look into Kyocera's PPDs. If they do not have a unified tarball, I do not see any possibility to get the PPDs being added to distros or made auto-downloadable via OpenPrinting. | 20:03 |
| cjwatson | if they match, then I'd run the gcc line by hand with variations until it works, and then reintegrate those variations back into the patch to src/Makefile.am | 20:03 |
| cjwatson | debug it iteratively and be scientific about it | 20:03 |
| directhex | tkamppeter, it looks horribly manual right now. i mean, the PPDs are all properly licensed and redistributable, but who wants to go to every device's drivers page to grab a single ppd? | 20:04 |
| directhex | tkamppeter, there seem to be humans on their UK twitter account, i'll see if anyone responds | 20:04 |
| juliank | nxvl: pong | 20:06 |
| nxvl | juliank: i added some more info to Bug #704595, and i was wondering if you can give me some guidance to fix it, cause i have no experience with apt's code | 20:06 |

| bcurtiswx_ | juliank, cjwatson, autoreconf does run | 20:09 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| juliank | nxvl: I have no idea why apt fails | 20:10 |
| nxvl | juliank: mvo told me a while ago that was an auth issue, with the keyring and such, as it seems it's looking for a keyring inside the chroot, instead of the system chroot | 20:11 |
| nxvl | juliank: therefor failing | 20:11 |
| bcurtiswx_ | juliank, cjwatson: as seen here http://paste.ubuntu.com/556287/ | 20:12 |
| juliank | nxvl: It also doesn't work when copying the keyring | 20:12 |

This happens regardless of whether or not I choose to install updates during install. Any ideas or suggestions? | 20:58 |
| highvoltage | is it just me or is the "no licence required" part a bit icky? | 20:59 |
| cjwatson | m_conley: dunno, would need to see the log file it mentions | 20:59 |
| m_conley | cool, I'll try to fetch that... | 20:59 |
| cjwatson | it might be that a daily build would work better | 20:59 |
| cjwatson | the way the archive works, it's sometimes possible for changes after a milestone to break the milestone, unfortunately | 21:00 |
| m_conley | I started with daily builds, but I was having an even harder time getting those ones up on VirtualBox | 21:00 |
| mjr | highvoltage, I'm not sure if it's icky, but it's technically incorrect ;) | 21:00 |
