slangasekhggdh: it boggles the mind that runit has been upstartified; looking00:00
SpamapSupstart runs runit runs daemontools runs home and cries to djb ;)00:00
slangasekhggdh: this package is calling stop/start directly - that's a bug00:01
slangasekhggdh: the only interface policy says packages are supposed to use in their maintainer scripts is invoke-rc.d00:01
hggdhslangasek, ah, I feel better now :-)00:01
SpamapSslangasek: I'm going to send the idea to upstart-devel ... I think this may be the right thing to ship and recommend people use until we have 'while'00:02
slangasekSpamapS: ok, cool00:03
slangasekhggdh: so yeah, it's a bug in runit, which is definitely not a package I'm spending any effort fixing right now :)00:04
hggdhslangasek, NP. I understand all that is needed is change the postinst to call invoke-rc.d instead of /sbin/start. If this is it, I can do it mesself. Correct?00:08
slangasekhggdh: well, the *sensible* thing to do is to make the package use debhelper, which automatically spits out the correct maintainer script snippets... but yeah, I don't think you want to maintain that :) so just replacing with invoke-rc.d is the way to go00:09
SpamapShggdh: the real question is why isn't it using dh_installinit00:09
SpamapSerr.. what he said00:09
slangasekSpamapS: I don't think that's a question, really00:09
slangasekI mean, it's runit00:09
slangasekdid you expect the packaging to not also be idiosyncratic? ;)00:09
hggdhSpamapS, slangasek: adding debhelper will be a bigger change ;-)00:11
* hggdh would rather start with small changes00:12
slangasekhggdh: yeah, I generally wouldn't be in favor of debhelperifying a package in Ubuntu only unless it's something we plan to maintain00:14

jderoseDoes anyone know if Python3.1 will remain in Natty, or will it be dropped, leaving just Python3.2?04:21
persiajderose, I can't speak authoritatively, but I doubt anyone is going to try really hard to drop python3.1.04:45
persiaI suspect the default python3 interpreter will be python3.204:45
persiaPython2.6 will likely also be available in parallel.04:45
jderosepersia: yeah, 3.2 already seems to be default.  i'm working on a python3 package and was just curious if i should fully QA for running under 3.1 also, or just 3.204:46
jderosepersia: thanks for the insight!04:47
persiaI'd recommend focusing on 3.2: it will be a rare case that someone would be using 3.1 unless they asked for it especially.04:48
persiaAnd in the longer term, 3.1 will go away: I'm just not sure that the actual final removal is on someone's natty agenda.04:48
jderosepersia: okay, thanks :)04:48

micahgI'm wondering, if a few packages build-dep on a package only on archs that we don't have, can the build-dep be dropped from Ubuntu (gcc-4.3)07:10
pittimicahg: yes; we should drop it if it reduces delta from Debian, and keep it if that b-dep is in Debian (IMHO)07:11

RAOFcjwatson: Meep, that's a big list of armel.09:24
cjwatsonI'm guessing that's just due to no (input|video) drivers being installable yet, so xserver-xorg's uninstallable, so xserver-xorg-core's uninstallable09:25

ograGRRR !10:46

ograbut it gets annoying, we dont have images for weeks due to that skew10:47

didrocksthe FTBFS was due to something not being able to install10:48

didrocksI asked for a rebuild a little bit later without any success10:48
didrocksyeah, it's built now, thanks cjwatson10:48
ograit has gotten really bad this release10:48
cjwatsonogra: the theory isn't difficult, but it requires soyuz implementation time10:49
directhexshould i mention here that canonical's gcc madness causes mono to fail more than three times as many test cases on natty as on sid, on the same arm hardware?10:49
cjwatsonit doesn't need a bof, it needs to get done10:49
ogracjwatson, right, i'll take care that we have soyuz people around for that10:49
cjwatsondirecthex: given that our gcc maintainer is on holiday, I'm not sure what you would be achieving10:49
ograi think with a new non x86 arch it will get bad for others too10:49
cjwatsonogra: around> it still doesn't need a bof10:49
ogracjwatson, well, then a spec with the right people assigned10:50
cjwatsonthe solution is to keep multiple versions of packages in the Packages and Sources files, with appropriate refcounting10:50
ograok10:51
cjwatsonso you have as many versions of architecture: all packages in the db as are required to match published builds of each architecture10:52
ograwell, wouldnt it be easier to just block the new ones from showing up until the set is complete ?10:53
ograi know there will be a slight out of sync-ness across the arches due to that, but thats still better than completely uninstallable sets and seems easier to implement10:54
ograat least in my imagination (not knowing the code at all)10:54
cjwatsonthat would cause different problems10:55

ograwe have literally lost weeks this cycle due to it10:58
cjwatsonso this is implemented in practice and the various client-side things that had problems have generally already been fixed now; there is certainly no need to design something afresh, and it would probably be actively undesirable to do so10:59

tseliotyes, I agree13:45
cjwatsonraof just bumped the build-dep13:45
tjaaltonhmm13:45
tjaaltonyeah that's not quite enough :)13:45
tjaaltonthe warnings aren't critical, but looks like at least two commits from master should be needed for input abi 1213:49
pittiI guess with nvidia/fglrx being broken right now, I better disable those in Jockey for now13:50
tjaaltonthere could probably be a check for the video abi, and not offer those if the current package doensn't provide the current abi?13:51
pittiright, that'd be a more permanent solution13:51
tseliotpitti: yes, that would be a good idea, until I fix the dependecies as discussed in the ubuntu-x mailing list13:51
tjaaltonthere's been some talk about how to handle the abi's on ubuntu-x@13:51
pittitjaalton, tseliot: so if I get the -video-abi from xserver-xorg-core, and check it against the driver package's Provides: line, would that be correct?13:53
pitti(why is it provides: and not depends:?)13:53
tseliotpitti: yes, I think so13:54
pittitseliot: fglrx doesn't seem to have a video-abi provides at all?13:54
tjaaltonI haven't read the thread with thought, yet, so can't comment in detail :)13:54
pittitjaalton: that's how it currently seems to work, anyway13:55
tjaaltonpitti: well, it doesn't really work currently13:55
tseliotpitti: RAOF pointed me to ${xviddriver:Depends} which is what I should use instead of provides13:55
pittihm, so perhaps I just generally disable them for now, and postpone the ABI matching when this got settled13:55
tjaaltonyeah13:55
tseliotpitti: I thought I added that in fglrx but I'll definitely fix it in the next upload13:56

tjaaltontseliot: grah, those abi patches don't apply on 1.6.0, probably best to pull master (1.6.99)14:11
tjaaltonnot that it's hugely different in functionality..14:11
tseliottjaalton: they are going to release something stable together with X, aren't they? So it shouldn't be a problem14:12

smosercjwatson, have you or know of a 2.6.38 kernel with grub 0.97 ? asking due to bug 710754.15:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 710754 in linux (Ubuntu) "natty kernel does not boot on t1.micro in arch i386" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71075415:11
smosersmb has a workaround for -virtual kernel on ec2, but I was curious if it affected all grub 0.97.15:11
smbFor completeness, the bug seems to be in pv-grub which is based on the old grub. It may or may not have the same potential in there.15:15
cjwatsonsmoser: I don't know, sorry15:15
cjwatsonpvgrub makes my head hurt15:15
smbHeh, it surely did that to me even without looking at its code15:16
cjwatsonlet me check grub's changelog briefly15:16
cjwatsonbut I seriously doubt there've been any recent fixes in grub; last upstream commit in our package was 200515:16
cjwatsondon't see any relevant changes post 0.97, on a quick glance15:17
smbcjwatson, Probably just something to keep in the back of our memories should there be somone approaching us with strange boot failures with grub0.97 and Natty or later i386 kernels.15:18

Amaranthexcept for not starting metacity?18:34
didrocksAmaranth: it's compiz which does it18:35
geserfor me metacity gets started but no visible gnome-panel18:35
didrocksAmaranth: as the fallback session is gnomewm + gnome-panel18:35
didrocksAmaranth: but as it's segfaulting…18:35
Amaranthdidrocks: That's not very bright :)18:35
Amaranthdidrocks: Perhaps it should hardcode metacity18:35
didrocksAmaranth: well, you can have compiz running but not unity18:35
didrocksAmaranth: hence the helper test unity and compiz capability18:36
didrocksAmaranth: so no, sorry, "maybe not bright" but finer grained18:36
didrockscompiz should just triggers the fallback18:36

pittistgraber: so seems we urgently need to test and publish maverick's eglibc then21:00
SpamapSslangasek: so what I'm seeing is that it is considered poor practice to mount multiple machines with the same nfsroot rw... so nfsroot would suggest either nolock or ro .. both of which preclude needing statd and portmap. I don't know about the nfsv4 stuff though.21:04
SpamapSslangasek: it makes sense.. whats the point of having a bunch of machines sharing one root fs that they all modify? :-P21:05
slangasekSpamapS: for nfsv4 there's a nontrivial bootstrapping problem where the support daemons are concerned; I don't know if anyone is doing nfs4root21:05
slangasekyes, you're not allowed to share the same root fs rw :)21:05
SpamapSin that case, the point is moot21:05
SpamapSwe can safely stop portmap and, ergo, statd, after umountnfs21:06

RoAkSoAxpitti: specially because of bug #711517, cause someone pointed me out that waking up after someone suspended using powernap, the user defined settings for his WoL nick changed!22:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 711517 in pm-utils (Ubuntu) "pm-suspend doesn't respect wol settings of network interface" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71151722:03
pittiRoAkSoAx: if you change the power state in between, it's likely, yes22:10
pittiRoAkSoAx: it also might not remember the previous power state, so upower might just always run the power.d scripts after resuming22:11
pitti("just in case")22:11
RoAkSoAxpitti: probably that's the case cause a user changes the WoL config for the network card, but when resuming from a suspend, the changes are not kept. but Powernap doesn't touch anything rather than making sure WoL is enable in the network card (in the upstart job)22:13

hdonhello devs :) does ubuntu-bug depend on there being a crash report?23:17
RAOFNo - it'll collect information for non-crash bugs, too.23:18
hdonRAOF, ok, well it's crashing on a KeyError in, i assume, settings['databases'][name] when i ubuntu-bug firefox. it worked, though, when i did "ubuntu-bug apport" (i tried ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug, but learned that wasn't the package name for the command)23:19
hdoni'm filing a bug report now..23:19
hdonanyhow i only asked because firefox hadn't crashed, i just wanted to report an issue (that had been closed before Karmic!) that is present in Lucid23:22
hdonthe bug in firefox though should be reported upstream to Mozilla, but it needs to be in the Ubuntu tracker because it's a very important issue23:22
RAOFYeah.  There would seem to be a bug in the apport script for firefox, then.23:23
hdonRAOF, it looks as though it DOES depend on a crash report. here is the stack: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/101172923:23
hdonohhhh, hmmm!23:24
hdonactually it looks like it must be a different bug23:24
broderhdon: that looks like you have firefox installed out of a ppa, not the archive23:24
hdonbroder, ohhhhhh... hmm! well it probably shouldn't crash... when run from the "run application" dialog, it fails silently after a box pops up with a throbber/progressbar23:25
broderhdon: i don't think running command-line things from "run application" has ever been remotely supported. but you're right that it probably shouldn't prompt23:25
hdonbroder, is it not meant to support ppas? it would be nice i think for ppa maintainers to be able to utilize the bug reporting and issue tracking infrastructure that ubuntu has created. ppas are an important part of the ubuntu community23:26
hdonbroder, ah, well launchpad.net directed me to a wiki which instructs the user to use Run Application23:26
macohdon: ppa's dont have bug trackers attached to them23:26
hdonmaco, :( they should!23:26
macohdon: bug trackers are for projects23:26
macothough i think itd be amusing if you could file a bug on a person or team to mean that they screwed up packaging :P23:27
brodererr, s/prompt/crash/23:27
hdonthat's a place i often think Microsoft and Apple fall extremely short -- unless things have changed since i last checked years ago -- application developers have to package their own tools to help users report errors and give diagnostic information to developers23:27
hdonmaco, i think that would be awesome!23:27
broderbased on the very little i know about apport, i think it might be possible for a ppa package to include a file that tells apport where bugs should be filed23:27
macoin that case, i dont think it'd be "ubuntu-bug" though23:28
RAOFmaco, hdon: Bug reporting against PPAs (and a wider variety of objects in general) is on the launchpad TODO list.23:28
hdonmaco, yes but the ubunut-bug tool does important work like gathering diagnostic information23:28
macowould be neat if apport checked apt-cache policy to figure out which ppa to report it against23:28
brodermaco: i think it does23:28
hdonRAOF, yay :)23:28
macohdon: thats just the apport hooks in the packages themselves23:28
macohdon: if you know the package, apport would do the same. ubuntu-bug's specialness is the symptom stuff23:29
hdoni see23:29
maco(at least, i think... cuz you used to report bugs with the apport command iirc...)23:29
brodermaco: ubuntu-bug just dispatches between apport-cli, apport-gtk, and apport-kde23:30
macooh23:30
macoso apport on its own knows how to do -s audio too then?23:30
broderi think so23:30
maconifty23:30
hdonwhat is -s audio?23:30
maco-s = symptom23:30
hdonah23:31
macoaudio = what symptom is problematic23:31
hdonand these are apport-cli arguments?23:31
macoso if your sound is being faily, you do "ubuntu-bug -s audio" and it asks what sort of fail the audio device is exhibiting23:31
hdonoh i see23:31
asdfqwercould someone recommend a good torrent client for cli use?23:52
asdfqwerfor ubuntu server meerkat23:52
