| RAOF | Ok, rather than trying to figure this out myself, time to be lazy: How do I get libtool to accept libdrm-nouveau1a as the SONAME for a library? | 00:47 |
| jono | anyone know how to file a bug in ubuntu-bug? | 01:18 |
| jono | it seems 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug' doesn't work :-) | 01:18 |
| TheMuso | jono: you want ubuntu-bug apport | 01:18 |
| TheMuso | since apport has ubuntu-bug | 01:18 |
| jono | cool | 01:19 |
| jono | thanks TheMuso! | 01:19 |
| TheMuso | np | 01:19 |
| TheMuso | But yes, giving ubuntu-bug an executable and have it work out the package for you would be a nice to have. | 01:19 |
| RAOF | I thought that actually worked already? man ubuntu-bug suggests it shouldn. | 01:21 |

| hyperair | say, what are the backports procedures these days? | 05:43 |
| micahg | hyperair: file a bug against the foo-backports project, test build, install, and run | 05:45 |
| hyperair | micahg: and how fast to those requests actually get through? | 05:45 |
| hyperair | iirc backports were a pretty slow process | 05:46 |
| hyperair | with an overly huge queue and overwhelmed folk handling it | 05:46 |
| micahg | hyperair: well, I haven't seen much recently, but there was a blueprint to improve things, I think the backporters are looking for people to help :) | 05:46 |
| hyperair | i'd like to help :) | 05:46 |
| hyperair | now where do i go to poke people about this.. | 05:46 |
| micahg | hyperair: ok, talk to ScottK | 05:46 |
| hyperair | ScottK: so how do i help with backports? | 05:47 |
| micahg | hyperair: there's this to get you started: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20Help | 05:49 |
| hyperair | ooh thanks | 05:49 |
| hyperair | micahg: hmm, it looks like ubuntu developers are allows to upload to -backports. | 05:52 |
| hyperair | this does speed things up | 05:52 |
| micahg | hyperair: yes, but one is not supposed to unless it's been approved and is not a straight backport | 05:54 |
| hyperair | micahg: approved by who? | 05:54 |
| micahg | hyperair: ubuntu-backporters | 05:54 |
| hyperair | micahg: you mean it isn't blocked by a backporting queue similar to -proposed? | 05:54 |
| micahg | hyperair: it is, but the process isn't to just upload like proposed | 05:55 |
| * hyperair groans | 05:55 | |
| micahg | in most cases, an automated backport should be used | 05:55 |
| hyperair | alright | 05:56 |
| micahg | hyperair: what are you trying to backport? | 05:59 |
| hyperair | micahg: nothing at the moment, i was just trying to evaluate how much effort it would take to backport some of my packages | 05:59 |
| micahg | hyperair: so leaf packages are easier than libraries or packages that require newer versions of libraries as all the rdepends need to be tested | 06:00 |
| hyperair | yeah, i'm aware of that | 06:01 |

| anwar | hi guys .. i have a simple question | 14:52 |
| Proto | Hi guys. Quick question. How do you free memory that was allocated using the function readline from the gnu readline library? Thanks | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | Proto: free () | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | Proto: the man page says it's allocated with malloc (), and the inverse of that is free () | 15:03 |
| Proto | well I user free() but dmalloc tool that I am using reports that there is a memory leak. I only had two lines in my code. the readline and the free. | 15:05 |
| Proto | *used | 15:05 |
| anwar | i'm a web developer and i work on windows environment.. and i want to develop on ubuntu .. where do i have to start ? there are alot of resources in the wiki page and it's a bit confusing for me because i'm a regular user to ubuntu .. can u tell me where to start ? | 15:06 |
| Chipzz | anwar: pls ask in #ubuntu, your question is not appropriate for this channel | 15:08 |
| micahg | anwar: you could also try #ubuntu-server | 15:09 |
| anwar | thank u guyz .. sorry | 15:10 |
| Chipzz | micahg: hrrrrm not really | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | Proto: I'd suggest using valgrind and getting it to report the exact location of the leak | 15:10 |
| Chipzz | micahg: (at least I think so) | 15:10 |
| micahg | Chipzz: the apps needed for web dev on ubuntu are server apps :) | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | sometimes libraries allocate themselves a bit of persistent state on initialisation or something, which isn't generally worth worrying about | 15:11 |

| SpamapS | cjwatson: though probably good to have both isn't it? | 15:53 |
| doko | sorry, s/libs/binaries/ | 15:54 |
| ScottK | They are non-virtual thunk. | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: sounds plausible | 15:55 |
| doko | ScottK: then why add these to the symbols files at all? | 15:55 |
| ScottK | doko: It's what dpkg-gensymbols generates. | 15:56 |
| ScottK | c++filt _ZThn16_N11KDcrawIface12RExpanderBoxD0Ev | 15:56 |
| ScottK | non-virtual thunk to KDcrawIface::RExpanderBox::~RExpanderBox() | 15:56 |
| ScottK | That's in libkdcraw9.symbols | 15:56 |
| doko | ScottK: well, maybe ask buxy why he wants these mentioned in the symbols files? | 15:56 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: so, upstart should have Breaks: libc6 ( << $version_that_disables_telinit_u ) .. | 15:57 |
| ScottK | doko: They weren't different on different archs before. Why now? | 15:57 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: and sysvinit would need Breaks: upstart ( << $version_that_adds_re-exec ) | 15:57 |
| buxy | I don't "pick" symbols, I take everything that's exported. | 15:58 |
| ScottK | doko: I'm not a build system expert, but right now I have to test build that package on all archs to get a package that builds. That's not supportable. | 15:58 |
| ScottK | doko: See buxy's reply ^^^^ | 15:58 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: right | 15:59 |
| cjwatson | I think | 15:59 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: that should just help apt decide the order to configure things, right? | 16:00 |
| cjwatson | yeah, it's not foolproof here | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | well, though the libc6 telinit u is at configuration time | 16:01 |
| SpamapS | postinst specifically | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | that's the bulk of configuration :) | 16:01 |
| doko | ScottK, buxy: well, symbols files shouldn't be used unreflected for C++ libs. Debian #605833 is another (unrelated) case | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | I'm more hoping that it will prevent some of the more basic partial upgrade mistakes | 16:01 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 605833 in gpsd "symbols file lists symbols from qt libs" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/605833 | 16:01 |
| buxy | doko: true, but MoDaX has done such work there that it gets more common... | 16:02 |
| doko | buxy: which work? | 16:03 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: right, I think at some point we have to accept that if you install the new upstart and somehow force the old postinst to run.. you have broken your system, not dpkg/apt/ubuntu devs. | 16:03 |
| buxy | doko: the possibility to map symbols by their demangled name | 16:04 |
| SpamapS | I'd say with a Breaks: line, that shold be sufficient, but I am certainly not an authority on how breaks works in the real world.. only how its worded. :p | 16:04 |
| buxy | and other similar stuff | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: in practice the thing I care about is that if you say 'apt-get install sysvinit' it'll upgrade upstart and libc6 tooo | 16:05 |
| cjwatson | *too | 16:05 |
| cjwatson | Conflicts is likely far too invasive | 16:05 |
| doko | ScottK, buxy: so if we agree that these thunks don't belong the interface, then maybe make them optional by default? | 16:07 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: I'll test for that scenario right now.. :) | 16:09 |
| * SpamapS thinks it would be wise to always have a libc6 tree with the build step completed lying around. | 16:10 | |
| buxy | doko: I have no idea whether they belong to the interface or not, and I don't think that I want to have lots of special-cases in dpkg-gensymbols, in particular when these are difficult to identify (I don't want to always run c++filt) | 16:10 |
| buxy | I rather suggest that the affected package uses the (c++) tag to match this symbol in arch-neutral way | 16:11 |
| doko | buxy: well, these "special cases" are defined. http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/abi.html#mangling | 16:11 |

| cjwatson | I'm in a meeting and about to finish for the week after that | 16:20 |
| bcurtiswx | cjwatson, OK ignore email then | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | desktop people would be better | 16:20 |
| bcurtiswx | seb mentioned to talk to you if I could | 16:21 |
| bcurtiswx | i appreciate your time tho, have a good rest of day and weekend | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | oh, any particular reason? | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | I mean, I know the autotools, but lots of people do :) | 16:21 |
| bcurtiswx | cjwatson, src/Makefile.am: object `empathy-accounts-dialog.$(OBJEXT)' created both with libtool and without | 16:22 |
| bcurtiswx | seems one of the binaries added to empathy_chat_SOURCES causes autoreconf to complain | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | there's a section on that in 'info automake' | 16:23 |
| bcurtiswx | ok | 16:23 |
| * bcurtiswx looks | 16:23 | |
| cjwatson | http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Libtool-Issues | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | explains it better than I can | 16:23 |
| SpamapS | I notice that upstart was uploaded to lucid-proposed as an SRU back in August with the version 0.6.5-7 instead of 0.6.5-6.1 ... | 16:24 |
| SpamapS | should this SRU be -8 or -7.1 ? | 16:24 |
| ScottK | doko: I don't know enough to have an opinion of if they should be optional by default. I just know it's a lot more effort to maintain symbols files if they vary per arch. | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | either is fine - it just needs to not clash with maverick, and maverick went from 0.6.5-6 to 0.6.6-1 | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: ^- | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+publishinghistory | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | if it were me, I would follow the pattern and use -8 | 16:25 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, just built with --no-as-needed for now | 16:25 |
| doko | ScottK: sure, but you have to live with it | 16:25 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, it will be easier | 16:25 |
| SpamapS | less confusing then to use -8 :) | 16:25 |
| ScottK | doko: Why? I didn't have to live with it with gcc4.4. | 16:25 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: ty | 16:26 |
| seb128 | seems weird that to add new files to _source we need to list all the other files it uses to land in that issue | 16:26 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128, the info cjwatson gave says to add a empathy_chat_CFLAGS=$(AM_CFLAGS) i will try that | 16:26 |
| doko | ScottK: because types of parameters are mangled too | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | you've always had to list everything you use in _SOURCES, unless there's an internal library or something | 16:26 |
| doko | seb128: what has something missing in _SOURCES to do with the linker flag? | 16:28 |
| ScottK | doko: I'll add this discussion to the bug then. | 16:28 |
| seb128 | cjwatson, ok, we have a new file from a distro patch, I though that we used to include only that one | 16:28 |
| seb128 | not that one and all the files this source is using | 16:28 |
| seb128 | in the right order | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | ordering may be new, but I doubt the rest is | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | the linker has never magically found symbols for you | 16:28 |
| seb128 | doko, the initial issue was it complains about non found symbols | 16:28 |
| seb128 | ok, not sure why bcurtiswx gets that error then after adding the sources in order | 16:29 |
| zyga | mpt, hi, do you have a moment? | 16:29 |
| mpt | zyga, yep | 16:29 |
| doko | seb128: is there a report open? imo, there should be for every case, where we use a workaround | 16:30 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, I will try to debug that the day I've a config with the GNOME3 ppa to do test builds | 16:30 |
| zyga | mpt, what do you think of an idea to put "rate this application" or "go to software center" in the help menu of applications linked with launchpadintegration? | 16:30 |
| seb128 | doko, no, it's for a ppa with unstable version, not for natty | 16:30 |
| doko | ok | 16:30 |
| seb128 | which is what makes debugging hard, nobody but bcurtiswx has the packages installed to build it | 16:30 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128, i can share my .pbuilderrc as I have it working with GNOME3 PPA whenever you want.. that way its as "simple" as pbuilder-dist | 16:31 |
| seb128 | bcurtiswx, I know how to set up a pbuilder or a vm thanks, I just don't have the bandwith to do a full GNOME install in a pbuilder right now | 16:32 |
| bcurtiswx | seb128, i figured you knew how to pbuilder/VM :P just offered my rc file | 16:33 |
| seb128 | or rather it would slow down my internet enough and I'm using it for other things I work on | 16:33 |
| bcurtiswx | well good news so far, is it didn't fail at autoreconf | 16:33 |
| mpt | zyga, "Rate This Application" in an application's Help menu is plausible (though it isn't really anything to do with help), but that has nothing to do with whether the application is in the Ubuntu archive, and therefore I don't think it belongs in launchpad-integration. (I think launchpad-integration should die in a fire, but that's irrelevant for that reason.) | 16:33 |
| zyga | mpt, technical bits are not interesting to me, I just wonder how you'd think we can encourage (or if we should in the first place) users to rate applications | 16:34 |
| zyga | mpt, or allow them to install additional content | 16:34 |
| mpt | zyga, so, "Rate This Application" in the "Help" menu I'm ok with | 16:37 |
| mpt | avoiding the technical bits :-) | 16:37 |
| zyga | mpt, what kind of UI would you like there? | 16:38 |
| mpt | zyga, opening USC to the application's screen and automatically opening the review dialog, I guess | 16:38 |
| zyga | mpt, a dedicated rate window or direct hop to the software center? | 16:38 |
| mpt | hm | 16:39 |
| mpt | maybe it wouldn't be necessary to open the main USC window | 16:39 |
| zyga | mpt, I'm not familiar with that part, does the user need to be signed in to write comments? (think about the very-first-time-to-rate-anything) | 16:39 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| mpt | zyga, yes they do. So going through <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter/RatingsAndReviews#reviews-reviewing> from the beginning. | 16:40 |
| zyga | mpt, great, that's the window I was thinking of | 16:41 |
| SpamapS | doko: are you working on the eglibc SRU to lucid btw? I did test it yesterday and it works well. | 16:41 |
| zyga | mpt, now to technical bits, who should I talk to? | 16:41 |
| doko | SpamapS: just that what I did prepare on p.c.c or should the change about the restart issue backed out? | 16:42 |
| === hanska is now known as dapal | ||
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| mpt | zyga, mvo or tremolux to start with, to add a command line or d-bus signal or something for "please start the review process for X" | 16:44 |
| mpt | to USC | 16:44 |
| SpamapS | doko: the one you had on p.c.c needs to go in before the upstart change. | 16:45 |
| SpamapS | doko: or at least, simultaneously now that I've added a breaks << that version | 16:45 |
| SpamapS | doko: the change to postinst to disable telinit u on upgrade is vital. | 16:49 |
| doko | SpamapS: are you ok with the eglibc upload during the freeze? | 16:49 |
| doko | cjwatson: ^^^ | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | yes, per mail (were you cced on that?) | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | marjo has acked it | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | well, wait, what else is in the eglibc upload? | 16:50 |
| * SpamapS hears the ominous change in the music | 16:51 | |
| cjwatson | mostly I just realised I didn't quite know what all I was acking | 16:52 |
| SpamapS | * Fix issue #12077, __strncmp_ssse3 can segfault when it over-reads | 16:52 |

| === beuno is now known as beuno-lunch | ||
| cjwatson | doko,SpamapS: bug 702190 is OK if you can provide a test case so that the QA team have some hope of validating it | 16:57 |

| zyga | mpt, thanks | 16:57 |
| doko | cjwatson: a test was added in the fix, so a rebuild on this hardware should show it | 17:03 |
| cjwatson | can we guarantee building on the appropriate hardware? | 17:04 |
| doko | no | 17:04 |
| cjwatson | perhaps the test can be extracted such that QA can run it externally | 17:04 |
| doko | ok, will do | 17:06 |
| SpamapS | doko: let me know if you need anything. | 17:07 |

| seb128 | doko, especially since you had some concerns about it and the update seems non trivial | 17:23 |
| seb128 | hum | 17:31 |
| seb128 | so gdm has a deluser call in its postrm, which fails when gdm is running... | 17:36 |
| seb128 | is there a standard way to deal with those issues? | 17:36 |
| seb128 | seem quite some users try to uninstall gdm from a session started by gdm and report bugs | 17:36 |
| seb128 | well apport report bugs because the postrm fails | 17:36 |

| SpamapS | wow | 17:47 |
| * SpamapS thinks upstart-dummy needs to be packaged and maybe even integrated with schroot/sbuild... :-D | 17:50 | |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-scott/upstart/session-support | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | so "not planned to be fixed soon" is mistaken | 17:55 |
| Lopi | ogra: ping | 17:56 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: as excited as I am for that bit of news, I doubt it will be backportable to lucid, and I have to wonder how we'll use it from a lucid chroot -> a newer upstart .. do we need to shim in a session-aware initctl? | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | dunno, I imagine a dummy thing is a reasonable stopgap for such environments | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | that problem will go away eventually | 18:02 |
| slangasek | bdrung: I wonder why libkibi needs a -dbg package in the archive | 18:04 |
| bdrung | slangasek: because libkibi in ubuntu is identical with the version for debian and IIRC debian does not have ddebs | 18:06 |
| === sforshee is now known as sforshee-lunch | ||
| slangasek | it does not, but why does this library need a -dbg package in Debian either? | 18:06 |
| slangasek | it seems to have few moving parts :) | 18:07 |
| bdrung | slangasek: to help debugging problems in the library. every program has at least one bug (or is outdated). ;) | 18:07 |
| slangasek | bdrung: yes, but -dbg libraries come with a cost to mirrors; I would hope the Debian ftp team would not accept such a -dbg package (but experience suggests to me they probably will) | 18:08 |
| micahg | I have a question about versioning for an SRU, I have xubuntu-docs at 9.10.1 in karmic and lucid, I'm about to upload to lucid, I was going to use 9.10.1+really10.04.1, but then karmic will be left with a version that can't be updated, I was originally going to use 9.10.1.10.04.1, but that looked ugly, any ideas? | 18:50 |
| doko | cjwatson: are you ok with upstrart changes from SpamapS ? | 18:53 |
| SpamapS | micahg: wouldn't it be updatable as 9.10.1+really10.04.1.1 ? | 18:58 |
| micahg | SpamapS: which? | 18:58 |
| SpamapS | micahg: you said it wouldn't be updatable with the +really10.04.1 tag .. but you could of course add things onto that. | 18:58 |
| micahg | SpamapS: no, I mean to update karmic, I'd have to do 9.10.1+really09.10.1 | 18:59 |
| cjwatson | doko: the last version I saw was fine | 19:00 |
| doko | ok | 19:01 |
| === sforshee-lunch is now known as sforshee | ||
| cjwatson | doko: assuming that the libc6 version matches, which I haven't checked | 19:01 |
| micahg | cjwatson: any ideas about my versioning conundrum? | 19:02 |
| cjwatson | micahg: mm, you don't have a lot of room since maverick and natty are still on 9.10.x (!) | 19:03 |
| micahg | right :) | 19:03 |
| cjwatson | I think you're stuck with inventing something ugly that gives you enough space | 19:04 |
| micahg | cjwatson: the package has no depends, so maybe I should just bump to 10.04.1, updates are planned for maverick and natty later, but the changes in maverick even were not version specific | 19:05 |
| micahg | and the relavent changes were included in this update for lucid | 19:05 |
| cjwatson | you could update natty, then maverick, then lucid, then karmic | 19:05 |
| cjwatson | so that everyone's comfortable that version increase will be preserved | 19:05 |
| cjwatson | I'd be nervous of bumping lucid beyond maverick's version; it's all too easy to forget to clean up later | 19:06 |
| micahg | so I guess 9.10.1.10.04.1 so that there's room to update karmic and it's pre-maverick | 19:07 |
| micahg | cjwatson: thanks | 19:08 |
| doko | cjwatson, SpamapS: eglibc and upstart uploaded | 19:21 |
| doko | SpamapS: same game for maverick? | 19:21 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: oo, I just saw that your plymouth change to listen for upstart events came through. Very cool. :) | 19:21 |
| SpamapS | doko: yes I'll push that one momentarily | 19:22 |
| doko | plymouth ftbfs | 19:22 |
| cjwatson | doko: fixed a moment ago in ubuntu12 | 19:23 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: hope it works :) | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | doko: thanks, I'll review them a bit later this evening | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: it becomes fairly obvious that there hasn't been a terribly consistent policy on upstart job descriptions, mind you | 19:25 |
| cjwatson | we may have to revise some of them, or revise the bridge code | 19:25 |
| cjwatson | anyway, out for a bit | 19:25 |
| SpamapS | doko: do you happen to know the maverick eglibc version you'll be uploading? | 19:27 |
| doko | SpamapS: http://people.canonical.com/~doko/tmp/ 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.2 | 19:27 |
