JackyAlcineWow, a fresh install of Ubuntu starts and boots under 4 seconds on this archaic PC I have here.00:44
JackyAlcineDefinitely something to brag about.00:44
JackyAlcineTo non-Linuxers, of course.00:45
RAOFHow archaic?  I wish mine would boot that quickly :)00:45
RAOFIt'd mean my discs were substantially faster, among other things :)00:45
JackyAlcineWell, I don't think it's that old, it still has a floppy disk drive.00:46
JackyAlcineIt's a HP computer, with 2 Pentium 4 CPU's clocking at 3 GHz each.00:46
JackyAlcineAnd with 1 GB of RAM.00:46
=== broder_ is now known as broder
broderif vga_switcheroo requires kms to be turned on, that means i'm completely screwed if i want to use switcheroo with the proprietary nvidia drivers, doesn't it?00:55
bryce_broder, yeah that's not likely to work this release.00:59
RAOFGiven nvidia have stated they've got no interest in supporting it I'm not sure that's going to work *ever*01:03
AmpelbeinJackyAlcine: 2 pentium 4 cpus and 1GB ram is archaic? wow. what is my athlon 2600XP with 768MB ram then? stone-age? ;-)01:04
JackyAlcinelol, well, it's the oldest system I've tried Ubuntu on. :D01:05
broderRAOF: i'm not interested in any sort of dynamic switching, but it would be nice if i could configure my system to use the discrete chipset before i start X01:46
RAOFMaybe you can do that?  switcheroo is basically just twiddling some ACPI bits to turn on the other card and connect it to the outputs.01:48
broderhmm, ok. so maybe if i twiddle those bits myself...? i'll look into that01:48
TheMusobroder: Your BIOS doesn't let you choose which GPU to use?01:49
broderTheMuso: Not this machine, no. (Dell Vostro 3500)01:49
RAOFbroder: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=882737#p882737 might be of interest to you.01:50
=== doko__ is now known as doko
broderyeah, i had that page open, but that looks really gross and i was kind of hoping for a better alternative :)01:52
broderbut i'll play with it01:52
RAOFI think that throwing ACPI commands at it is going to be your best shot :/01:55
* broder nods. thanks for the pointers01:56
TheMusoWell Dell are smart aren't they...02:16
TheMusoNo BIOS options to choose...02:16

didrocksfta2: hum, a nux crash, I'll add to the list of important one to get for next release08:15
fta2hm, not sure that .xsession-errors is the current session or the one that failed08:15
fta2also, i no longer have access to the consoles (ttys), i get "invalid input" from my lcd screen08:16
didrockswhich card?08:17
didrocksI heard some people on nvidia had issues with tty08:17
didrocksI have a nvidia, never had any issue this cycle08:17
fta2GeForce 7600 GS08:17
fta2never do it. it's the 1st time today08:18
didrockshum, GeForce Go 7900 GS here08:18
didrocksbut yeah, some people have broken tty on nvidia08:18
didrocksI don't really have a clue on that, better to ask to colin or xorg guys if they have a clue08:19
fta2will do "if the symptoms persist" :)08:25
fta2"UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2009-07-28 (581 days ago)".. looks wrong to me, bug in the apport hooks?08:30
didrocksahah, right :)08:37
didrocksthat's in the xorg hooks08:37
pittibonjour didrocks08:37
didrocksGuten Morgen pitti :)08:37
SweetsharkBonjour a tous08:49
didrocksBonjour Sweetshark!08:52
didrockstrop tard, vous avez commencé en français tous les deux, maintenant, il faut tenir toute la journée :)08:53
Sweetsharkdidrocks: genau die Antwort hatte ich erwartet, um ehrlich zu sein ... ;)08:54
didrocksSweetshark: no no no, you started in French! Keep the whole day with it ;)08:55
* didrocks sees his German level to be very low now, I had get some google help to translate it :/08:56
fta2pitti, [09:30] <fta2> "UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2009-07-28 (581 days ago)".. looks wrong to me, bug in the apport hooks?08:56
fta2seems to come from general-hooks/ubuntu.py08:57
pittifta2: hm, it's the mtime of /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log08:57
pittimight have a wrong clock?08:57
fta2nope, it's even an ntp server08:58
fta2but indeed: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62095 2009-07-28 11:53 /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log08:58
pittiso the hook is right, but having that mtime on the file looks wrong08:58
Sweetsharkdidrocks: d accord, mas je prend alaska time pour ca08:58
didrocks:)08:59
fta2pitti, better take /var/log/apt/history.log nowadays09:00
Sweetsharkdidrocks: my french isnt any better (midnight in alaska right now, btw)09:00
fta2pitti, or /var/log/dpkg.log09:01
pittifta2: /var/log/dpkg.log changes every day, though09:01
pittiso does history.log09:01
pittiwe need /var/log/dist-upgrade/09:01
didrocksSweetshark: yeah, I figured out the "alaska time" thing ;)09:02
fta2pitti, mine didn't change in years09:02
pittifta2: dpkg.log didn't change in years? it's updated each time dpkg installs, upgrades, or removes something09:02
fta2pitti, no, /var/log/dist-upgrade/09:03
pittifta2: ah, perhaps you didn't use update-manager for the more recent upgrades?09:03
fta2indeed09:03
fta2i wonder why you need the dist-upgrade date anyway.09:04
pittinot sure09:04
pittimight be interesting for upgrade failure reports09:04
pittito check whether someone upgraded at a bad time09:05
fta2pitti, it's a confusing as InstallationMedia09:10
fta2i often get bugs for natty or maverick with stuff like InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta i386 (20100317.1)09:11
pittithat means these were upgraded from lucid09:11
fta2pitti, i know, but when it's just confusing. not only me, i even saw bug triagers ask users to update and re-file bugs09:17
fta2anyway, i'm out.09:18
pittigood night!09:18

fta2asac, hi, i seriously hate arm. i can't build, i can't test, i'm just poking in the dark, no one helps, the porting queue is just growing09:30
didrocksfta2: please, report them, I'll ensure they are fixed for next release09:31
fta2didrocks, sure, i prefer to ask 1st, i hate dupes09:31
didrocksfta2: I'm on trunk with current nux since yesterday, I got no crash at all yet :/09:31
didrocksfta2: well, apport will dup crashes09:31
didrocksso on crashes, filing dup isn't that bad :)09:32
fta2didrocks, last week, i filed a bunch, got 3 dupes09:32
didrocksfta2: yeah, there were a lot of work to do on feature for the dash, and so, nux bug fixes slept away a little bit09:32

huatshey seb12809:53
cassidyseb128, yeah, some sounds are not part of ubuntu's sound theme09:53
seb128cassidy, do we need those? do you know what blocked adding those?09:53

cassidyseb128, I didn't check latest version (I'm not yet in Natty) but last time I checked some sounds were missing. IIRC I should have listed the sounds used by empathy09:55
seb128cassidy, reading the bug report it seems there is no available sounds for the missing effects09:57
seb128like the fdo theme doesn't have those either?09:57
cassidyhum I think it does but I may be wrong. Anyway, don't you have an art theme that could make the missing sounds? :)09:58
seb128hum, "an art theme"?09:59
seb128we have design people, but they do graphics09:59
cassidy /theme/team :p10:00
cassidyI don't know who should do it, but I'm sure there is at least *one* person in the Ubuntu community that should be able to do that :)10:01
seb128cassidy, ok, I will try to check what is the issue to start10:02
seb128like if the set of sounds we ship are working10:02
seb128the ones which are missing as well10:02
cassidycheck with the users complaining on that bug maybe. I don't use sounds that much myself10:02
seb128yeah me neither10:03

seb128thanks10:11
Sweetsharkpitti: I had the transitionals build successfully yesterday, but they failed to upload to the ppa because of newer versions of it in the ppa. I wonder if it would make sense to make a separate ppa for backports, because a) the libreoffice ppa already is half full b) I dont want the average user to get annoyed by every testbuild I do c) we could conviniently get rid of the to high 3.3.1 openoffice transitional version. However, it would10:12
pittiSweetshark: (your message got truncated)10:13
pittiSweetshark: if that's just a place to test-build/ park for sponsoring, you can create another "test" ppa for ~libreoffice, or just use a personal one (~bjoern-m/+archive/test or so)10:13

Sweetsharkpitti: but how do I get rid of the 3.3.1 transitionals in the ppa?10:22
pittiSweetshark: they aren't built by any source any more? I thought they'd be cleaned up automatically10:22
pittiSweetshark: if not, I'm afraid that's a question for #launchpad10:23
pittiSweetshark: I suggest using a different PPA in the meantime10:23
Sweetsharkpitti: well, my upload got rejected because of newer versions.10:25
pittiSweetshark: oh, you mean it builds binary packages which have/had a newer version in natty itself, not just the PPA?10:29
chrisccoulsonis anyone else seeing warnings like this when running dpkg? http://paste.ubuntu.com/574386/10:32
Sweetsharkpitti: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/65413252/upload_2294496_log.txt <- it also compares against versions from previous builds10:32
pittiSweetshark: right, version numbers need to increase monotonously10:37

didrocksseb128: nothing right now13:58
seb128ok13:58
didrockshum, mterry if you upload unity, please don't screw up the bzr branch. Cherry-pick from upstream :)13:58
didrocks(I think that can wait on Monday with the release though)13:59
mterrydidrocks, what do you mean about uploading unity?14:04
didrocksmterry: you need to cherry-pick in the bzr branch from upstream14:05
didrocksmterry: in any case, don't upload today, let's wait if we get other fixes tomorrow14:06
didrocksas we are in freeze14:06
seb128or check on with pitti on the r-t before uploading14:06
seb128having a11y working in a3 might be worth an upload14:07
didrocks(and do it merging the change in the packaging branch to avoid conflicts, please!)14:07
seb128oh right14:07
didrocksseb128: is there a respin planned?14:07
seb128didrocks, not sure, but if there is none the update doesn't hurt either, it means people running natty can get it14:08
mterrydidrocks, I guess I'm missing something.  I don't understand how unity's packaging is unique?14:08
seb128mterry, oh right, for dx stack we tend to bzr merge revision rather than using a patch system, it's easier14:08
didrocksmterry: it's because we use merge-upstream14:08
didrocksso, the packaging branch is derived frmo upstream one14:08
didrocksand we merge back for daily build14:08
seb128mterry, if you do bzr merge the upstream commit it will just resolve on the next upload14:08
didrocksright14:08
seb128mterry, it's easier than to add a patch system and a patch to revert14:09
didrocksand having conflicts in daily build14:09
seb128mterry, it's true for the indicator stack as well btw14:09
mterryk...  but I couldn't do that until the patch landed upstream it sounds14:09
seb128well you can bzr merge your vcs14:09
didrocksmterry: you can14:09
mterryoh ok14:09
didrocksmterry: because it's acked though14:09
seb128if it gets merged in trunk without change that will just work14:09
didrocksbetter*14:09
seb128if it gets changes before landing it will create issues14:09
didrocksto wait on an official ack :)14:09
didrocksright14:10
mterrydidrocks, well, sure, but only because we generally have you around.  Obviously Ubuntu does not generally block on upstream acks14:10
didrocksmterry: right, but in this case, we are upstream as well :)14:10
didrockshence the workflow is quite different14:11
didrocksas we are using the same branch for daily builds and such14:11
didrocksso I prefer to warn before you upload :)14:11
seb128mterry, well for indicators even if it's not approved it's easier to bzr merge from a merge request vcs than to add a patch system usually14:11

nessitaseb128: would you please let thisfred know the issue you're having with the messaging indicator?14:24
seb128thisfred, it's easy, I was wondering if the ubuntuone line should have a > indicating the service is running14:24
seb128since it doesn't here14:25
dobeymvo: hey, is there any documentation for using aptdaemon from C? or is it even possible?14:25
seb128disclamer I've no file shared on this account, but the account is logged and I use tomboy notes syncing14:25
thisfredseb128: ah, yes it should, but in the last release it does not. If you're subscribed to our nightlies PPA it does14:25
seb128the control panel dialog says the syncing is uptodate14:25
seb128thisfred, ok, I'm on current natty so that explains it, thanks14:25
mvodobey: its a dbus interface, if you "just" need to install something, you can use the session api from packagekit, we install a wrapper that supports most of that14:25
seb128nessita, ^14:26
thisfredwhew :)14:26

seb128bcurtiswx, kenvandine: do you know if the standard effects are not working or if we miss some sounds?14:27
seb128nessita, right, it's fixed in the nightlies and not in alpha3 then14:27
seb128nessita, which is fine with me, I was just not sure if it was supposed to work in natty or not14:28
seb128nessita, thanks!14:28
nessitaseb128: thank you! for your attention to detail14:28
kenvandineseb128, i am pretty sure the sounds are missing14:28
mterrydidrocks, ok, hope I did that right14:28
seb128kenvandine, which ones? the comments seems to suggest only a few are not installed14:28
didrocksmterry: do you want me to have a look?14:29
mterrydidrocks, sure14:29
kenvandineseb128, seems sending doesn't14:30
mterrydidrocks, oh... hmm..  I bet I screwed something up.  I didn't actually cherry-pick.  I believe I merged my branch, and it came with another small patch that I just reverted before continuing.  That probably was not correct14:30
kenvandinebut new message does14:30
kenvandinei can have a look at what we are missing and see what we can do14:30
dobeymvo: so we need to activate the partner repository for the ubuntu version we're running on, and install a package from it14:30
didrocksmterry: hum, sonds good to me14:30
bcurtiswxthere should be sounds for: received, sent, new convo, contact online/offline, account online/offline14:30
mterrydidrocks, that won't screw it up when it remerges (i.e. look like I undid that patch?)14:30
seb128bcurtiswx, can you check on the bug or add a comment asking what specific issues people still have with it?14:31
bcurtiswxseb128, sure14:31
didrocksmterry: let me look at trunk14:31
seb128bcurtiswx, thanks14:31
didrocksmterry: no, it's fine14:32
didrocksmterry: so, we released unity14:32
didrocksmterry: then, I cherry-pick a commit from neil14:32
dobeymvo: i guess using packagekit would be optimal if we can, since then we can make it work correctly on other distros too14:32
didrockswhich changed the opacity14:33
didrocksthis is the alpha3 version14:33
didrocksthen, njpatel seems to have reverted that in another commit14:33
didrocksmterry: and you cherry-picked it as well, not a big deal :)14:33
didrocksoh no14:33
didrocksyou revert it14:33
didrockshum…14:33
didrocksyeah, that will screw up14:33
njpateldidrocks, yeah14:34
seb128mterry, you should have merge -c rev14:34
njpateldidrocks, I made a mistake14:34
didrocksnjpatel: why did you reverted that btw?14:34
mterryseb128, agreed14:34
njpateldidrocks, there wasn't an issue, it was a dual-screen issue locally14:34
didrocksmterry: can you just bzr uncommit and bzr merge -c rev?14:34
didrocksthen push with --overwrite14:34
njpatelwell, anyone who uses unity with dual-screen has that issue14:34
mterrydidrocks, yup14:34
didrocksmterry: thanks :)14:34
njpatelbut the change I made was wrong so I reverted it out14:35
njpatelI didn't overwrite trunk in case someone had branched in that time14:35
didrocksnjpatel: oh, you mean with 0.9 we don't see the opacity on dual screen?14:35
didrocksnjpatel: yeah, so alpha3 would have the wrong value, not a big deal:)14:35
njpatelright14:36
njpatelyeah, no biggie14:36
didrocksnjpatel: dude, I like it so much like that on my dual screen :)14:36
njpatelheh14:36
njpatelI need to get that bug fixed, I can't use dual-screen because of it14:36
mterrydidrocks, done14:36
didrocksmterry: looking :)14:37
didrocksmterry: sounds good, but conflicts tags?14:41
didrocksmterry: so, normally, I do that in two commits:14:41
didrocksbzr merge -c …14:41

dobeymvo: is activating a repo doable from C?14:41

seb128mterry, bug #726388, not sure if it makes sense but it seems to happen only under valgrind, or valgrind slow things enough for a race to show14:48
ubot2Launchpad bug 726388 in indicator-appmenu "evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in IA__gtk_widget_is_toplevel()" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72638814:48
mvodobey: ok, here is a example of the python, you could consider just shippping a external "enable_repo" helper: python -c 'import aptdaemon.client; aptdaemon.client.AptClient().add_repository("deb", "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu", "natty", ["partner"], wait=True)'14:48
seb128mterry, you can get the same crash by running indicator-messages in valgrind and trying to open something for the indicator14:49
dobeymvo: yeah i know what the python is, i have it in my emacs buffer right now :)14:49
mvoheh, ok :)14:49
dobeymvo: i'm just wonder if it's a) doable in C and if so if there is documentation, or b) if i have to ship a python helper thing14:49
seb128mterry, ok, those are things that came up from reviewing recent apport crash bugs, if you feel like investigating one for those feel free to pick it14:50
mterryseb128, sure14:51
mvodobey: ok, I guess both is fine, (b) is less work in the short term. there org.debian.apt with /org/debian/apt and a AddRepository dbus call. this will give you a transaction id that you can use to get the dbus transaction. it should be enough to call Run() on that then14:52
mvomeh, there is a "for (a) … " missing in the above14:52

mterryseb128, I can be real fast when a bug is affecting me :)18:37

mterrychrisccoulson, so I discovered that if you take out the connect/disconnect changes in your patch, eog works again.   Was there a reason you changed when things get connected and disconnected?  Like, did old system not work for mapping?19:27

Sweetsharkpitti: *grmbl* I did a broken upload of l10n 1ubuntu5 to my ppa (with a DISTREL=maverick control file, not a natty as it should have had). I deleted the l10n package in the ppa, re-debuild -S -sa and re-dputted, but got rejected because the *debian* tarball is different. Is this just a race condition because it takes some time to remove the tarballs or was the whole operation doomed from the start?19:52
pittiSweetshark: no, it doesn't help to remove packages from PPAs if you are reuploading19:53
pittiSweetshark: just bump it to ~ppa219:53

seb128hum20:03
seb128mterry, when a bug is on the wrong component reassign it rather than closing the bug on the wrong one to add an extra one of the right component20:03
mterryseb128, one nice thing about leaving an invalid is it shows up in LP dup searches when filing though20:04
seb128mterry, launchpad bug or not but when you do that the subscribers to the component you invalidated the bug for keep receiving bug emails20:04
mterryseb128, fair...20:04
* Sweetshark will use ~ppaX for all ppa uploads.20:04
Sweetshark(except this one of course)20:04
mterryseb128, LP should note reassignments and include such bugs in LP searches for the original component (maybe)20:05
seb128mterry, right, it's not likely anyone will notice that "crashed with SIGSEGV in __libc_free()" is their issue out of the dupfinder20:05
mterryseb128, if it's the same title, sure!  that's how the dupfinder works, eh?  based on title20:05
seb128mterry, no, it matches the retraced stacktraces20:05
seb128on 3 or 5 functions (not sure now)20:06
seb128the signatures (i.e the list of the top functions of the stacktraces) are in a sqlite db20:06
mterryseb128, hmm.  Well, regardless, it doesn't work across components which is why I left the invalid. But point taken about mail spam.  I will reassign in future20:06
seb128the retracer works across components20:06
seb128it just search the signature in the db20:07
mterryseb128, retracer or dupfinder?20:07
seb128sorry, I mean apport retracing dupfinder20:07
seb128not the launchpad thing which list bugs which are similar to yours20:07
mterryseb128, hrm...  OK.  I was under the impression not.  And I'm not sure I've actually ever seen it do that20:08
mterryMust not have been paying attention20:08
seb128I might be wrong, pitti could confirm or not20:08
seb128mterry, both approch to the issue are valid, I tend to reassign to avoid spamming people who are subscribed the other component20:08
* mterry assumes that everyone has air-tight mail filters20:09
seb128in practice I've the feeling few people use check if similar bugs are reported for crashes20:09
seb128-use20:09
seb128it might be less true for bug which have a description20:09
seb128but people tend to go "oh, apport, click click click, let the retracer do its thing"20:10
pittiseb128, mterry: dup finder works on crash signature identity; for signal crashes (SEGV, etc.) the signature is ExecutablePath plus first five stack trace function names20:10
pittiIOW, it ignores package names on bug reports20:10
seb128pitti, so it doesn't care if the bug got reassigned20:11
pitti'zactly (on purpose)20:11
pittibecause that happens quite often20:11
seb128great, thanks ;-)20:11
seb128that's what I though20:11
pittiif gedit crashes, and it's due to libgtk, we want to reassign it, but still dupe20:11
seb128mterry, something got screwed in your bug report btw20:12
seb128mterry, it will not be retraced20:12
seb128pitti, is there any recent apport issue which would leads bugs to not be tagged?20:12
seb128pitti, see bug #72797020:12

mterryseb128, oh!  heh.  I may not have official version of appmenu-gtk....  ahem20:13
seb128mterry, it's rather that it didn't get tagged need-amd64-retrace20:13
seb128or apport-crash20:13
pittior apport-crash, or natty20:13
seb128or anything20:14
seb128mterry, I just tagged it for retracing20:14
seb128I hope we don't have a stack of recent bugs untagged and private20:14
mterryseb128, yeah, but since my appmenu-gtk is modified, not sure how useful that will be.  I'll try to reproduce later with official one20:14
seb128if they are not tagged the retracer will not see those nor will bug triagers20:14
pittiseb128: I reported my compiz crash about two hours ago, and it got tagged and retraced and dup'ed properly, though20:14
seb128pitti, ok20:14
pittiand apparently the retracers are busy, so it doesn't seem to affect all reports at least20:15
seb128mterry, weird, apport should have stopped you to report a bug against a non official version20:15
mterryseb128, how does it tell?  version or something deeper?  cause i didn't change version20:15
seb128mterry, well usually it tells you in the report if the md5 of files don't match the installed binary20:16
mterryhmm20:16
seb128but since you report on gedit it likely checked that binary20:16
seb128still it doesn't explain why the bug didn't get tagged20:16
mterrychrisccoulson, https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/appmenu-gtk/lp718926/+merge/5195120:21
mterrychrisccoulson, seems to work for me, would appreciate you giving it a few rounds20:22
seb128mterry, ok, the retracing failed indeed20:26
mterrywell, that makes sense20:26
mterrywill try with real appmenu20:27
seb128mterry, you can probably rebuild yours locally and use gdb on the dump to get a stacktrace20:27
seb128like copy a non stripped binary20:27
mterryseb128, yeah, but I've moved past that version too.  I was in the middle of debugging appmenu stuff20:27

thisfredok, thx22:14
dobeyRAOF: well, except he doesn't want to raise it. he wants it to pop up under anything else that might be open22:15
thisfredwell, I want to do whatever the update-manager does22:15
RAOFThe focus-stealing prevention will (or should) handle that.22:15
thisfredright22:15
dobeywe really shouldn't do what the update manager is doing, but eh22:16
dobeyafaik, update-manager only does that when there are security updates, no?22:16
RAOFYou could also set the needs-attention bit yourself, rather than assuming compiz will morph a raise request into needs-attention.22:17
RAOFhttp://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#id2551694 is the raw X way; gtk almost certainly has a way of setting the DEMANDS_ATTENTION bit on windows.22:17
