| Keybuk | kees: hey | 00:32 |
| Keybuk | kees: I don't think it does? I think it just leaves it in mtab | 00:33 |
| kees | Keybuk: bug 736512. I'm scratching my head on this | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 736512 in ureadahead (Ubuntu) "leaves /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs mounted" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/736512 | 00:33 |
| kees | Keybuk: basically, something is putting /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs in mtab and not removing it. | 00:33 |
| kees | it doesn't really seem to be either ureadahead or mountall. | 00:33 |
| Keybuk | yes | 00:36 |
| Keybuk | mountall | 00:36 |
| Keybuk | mountall has a function which iterates the mounted filesystems at the point / is remounted rw and puts them all in mtab ;) | 00:36 |
| Keybuk | that debugfs mount point is mounted at that time | 00:36 |
| Keybuk | so mountall sticks it in mtab | 00:36 |
| Keybuk | and since ureadahead is just calling mount() itself, it never removes it from mtab | 00:36 |
| Keybuk | now is probably a good time to have that "/etc/mtab should burn in fire" conversation | 00:37 |
| sladen | Keybuk: stupid question, but why is it not just a symlink to /proc/self/mounts ? | 00:37 |
| Keybuk | sladen: because /p/s/m doesn't carry any non-kernel recognised options | 00:38 |
| Keybuk | such as those used by a whole raft of userspace mounts (nfs, smb, fuse, etc.) | 00:38 |
| Keybuk | and the companion unmount tools of those generally *need* them | 00:38 |
| slangasek | I thought they've gotten rid of all the non-kernel options for smb now (well, cifs really) | 00:38 |
| Keybuk | slangasek: if they have: one down, a couple of billion to go | 00:39 |
| Keybuk | now /proc/self/mountinfo does carry those | 00:39 |
| slangasek | yep | 00:39 |
| Keybuk | so if you're in a patchy mood ... ;-) | 00:39 |
| Keybuk | Fedora have some hideous /dev/.run/mount crap I think too | 00:39 |
| Keybuk | I'm not sure what that's about | 00:39 |
| psusi | Keybuk, hey, question... you're still listed as the maintainer for usplash... it's dead right? what should be done about the upstream project on lp? | 00:47 |
| Keybuk | whatever anyone wants | 00:48 |
| psusi | Keybuk, you're not maintaining it anymore though right, so at the very least, it shouldn't be telling people you do right? ;) | 00:48 |
| Keybuk | it doesn't tell people I do | 00:48 |
| Keybuk | it tells people I did in a previous life | 00:48 |
| psusi | that's not neccesarily known to people looking at the page ;) | 00:49 |
| psusi | let me rephrase that... it says a dead man is the maintainer ;) | 00:49 |
| Keybuk | there's hundreds of pages on LP like that | 00:49 |
| Keybuk | cf. ureadahead too | 00:49 |
| psusi | well, I'm fixing to batch close all bugs against it in ubuntu, was thinking of doing the same for the upstream | 00:49 |
| psusi | well yea, but ureadahead isn't dead... | 00:50 |
| Keybuk | usplash isn't dead, as long as somebody remembers it ... | 00:50 |
| psusi | just not found a replacement maintainer yet... probably should change that to ubuntu-dev or something | 00:50 |
| psusi | well, I had it dropped from the archive because it can't be installed anymore, and debian is doing the same... | 00:50 |

| psusi | hallyn, that lets it go to the console... I want it logged | 02:37 |
| broder | psusi: no, that's not currently possible without a shell redirects or something | 02:48 |
| broder | it's been discussed, and Keybuk indicated that he didn't think it was particularly difficult, and that it should be possible to do more or less in isolation of other upstart development without having to worry much about conflicting changes or anything | 02:49 |

| hyperair | hmmmm | 02:58 |
| hyperair | something seems wrong about this | 02:58 |
| broder | hyperair: pm-utils remounts filesystems when you go on and off of AC power, and /etc/mtap is dumb | 02:59 |
| hyperair | yeah i know about the remounting bit | 03:00 |
| hyperair | but the mtab bit is kinda funny =p | 03:00 |
| hyperair | sounds like a bug somewhere | 03:00 |
| broder | i'd argue that the bug is that /etc/mtab isn't just a symlink to /proc/mounts :) | 03:01 |
| psusi | I frequently have a hanging entry in /etc/mtab for /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs... it is unmounted during boot but the entry is still there so it shows up in df bug gets the root's details | 03:08 |

| fta2 | pitti, hi. i have another problem with apport... on a server (maverick), one of my services segfaults, i have a crash file with a core, yet apport rejects it as an unsupported "assertion failure".. it's clearly not an assertion | 10:12 |
| pitti | fta2: it's a SIGABRT | 10:12 |
| pitti | fta2: these come from abort(), which are commonly assertion failures | 10:13 |
| fta2 | pitti, i wrote the code, there's no abort() anywhere | 10:14 |
| pitti | fta2: which signal did it crash with? | 10:14 |
| pitti | fta2: if you want to report it anyway, you could edit the .crash file and remove the UnreportableReason: field | 10:14 |
| pitti | fta2: but I'm fairly sure it has Signal: 6 | 10:14 |
| fta2 | pitti, well no, i don't want to report it, i just want to use apport to resolve everything for me. I have the -dbg installed | 10:15 |
| pitti | fta2: you can still use apport-retrace etc. | 10:16 |
| fta2 | apport-retrace? hmm | 10:16 |
| fta2 | where is it? | 10:16 |
| pitti | fta2: and the .crash file should have complete data after you run it through the UI once (i. e. you see above error message) | 10:16 |
| pitti | fta2: it's in a separate package | 10:16 |
| pitti | fta2: apport-retrace -sv /var/crash/foo.crash -> trace to stdout; -gv will throw you into a gdb session | 10:17 |
| pitti | fta2: (if you run that as root, it will install extra -dbg/-dbgsym) | 10:17 |
| pitti | it's got a fairly complete manpage | 10:18 |
| fta2 | trying.. | 10:18 |
| fta2 | hm, it dies horribly | 10:18 |
| fta2 | KeyError: 'Stacktrace' | 10:19 |
| fta2 | obviously, there's no such entry in the crash file | 10:19 |
| pitti | what's the full trace? | 10:20 |
| pitti | fta2: (I suspect it failed to generate one, so it can't print it) | 10:21 |
| fta2 | pitti, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581532/ | 10:22 |
| pitti | fta2: right, what I suspected; can you please try -g? | 10:23 |
| pitti | (instead of -s) | 10:23 |
| pitti | fta2: (I'll fix all these deprecation warnings, thanks for pointing out) | 10:25 |
| fta2 | pitti, ok, it's indeed a sig 6, but deep inside libc | 10:26 |
| fta2 | pitti, can i ask apport to resolve those anyway? it's not to report to lp, it's for me as upstream | 10:27 |
| pitti | fta2: you mean make apport-retrace -s work? | 10:28 |
| pitti | (which is equivalent to adding the Stacktrace: to the .crash file) | 10:29 |
| fta2 | pitti, i mean I'd like to have the Stacktrace/ThreadStacktrace/.. in the crash file even it is unreportable because it's an abort() | 10:32 |
| pitti | fta2: right; yes, that should be possible | 10:32 |
| fta2 | would be great | 10:33 |
| pitti | added to my todo list | 10:33 |

| abhinav- | right, that would be a problem | 15:25 |
| pitti | abhinav-: so to do that, the apport/packaging.py API would need a new method run_package_update(), which the Ubuntu branch could then implement | 15:25 |
| pitti | and a way to tell "is upgrading available" | 15:26 |
| pitti | ui.py would check the latter, and run run_package_update() or so | 15:26 |
| pitti | other distros could plug in packagekit or yast or whatever | 15:26 |
| abhinav- | pitti, so define an abstract method in packaging.py ? and where will be the ubuntu specific code go ? | 15:28 |

| slangasek | seb128: interesting; does this retracer problem affect all archs or just i386? | 16:12 |
| seb128 | slangasek, both i386 and amd64 but seems due to the fact that the retracers are fakechroots running in a lucid environment | 16:12 |
| seb128 | slangasek, it works fine in a natty chroot, I switched to that for now (but that breaks the lucid retracers as a side effect) | 16:13 |
| seb128 | slangasek, I think it's rather another fakechroot issue than a bug in the update | 16:13 |
| slangasek | seb128: lucid's libc should have already known about the multiarch paths, but I guess maybe they were at the /end/ of the library search path | 16:14 |
| slangasek | YokoZar: well, I'm not going to speak in favor of adding anything to ia32-libs, but we're still laying foundations here - it's still much too early for me to suggest flipping multiarch on for end users as a means of installing wine | 16:15 |
| YokoZar | slangasek: Will we be able to move anything out of ia32-libs and into proper multiarch in natty? | 16:17 |
| slangasek | YokoZar: ia32-libs is not allowed to express a dependency on any 32-bit multiarch packages, so the most likely scenario is still that ia32-libs carries the whole stack that it does now for natty release | 16:26 |
| slangasek | only once we've shaken multiarch down and are ready to turn it on for desktop users do we get to start pulling things out of ia32-libs | 16:27 |

| fta | pitti, also, just installing & enabling apport on a maverick server doesn't do much, apport-* all fail to add anything useful to the crash files.. until you install gdb (and something coming with dpkg-dev, not sure what) | 16:31 |

| M0hamed | hello is this where I ask questions about how wubi installer works | 18:27 |
| cjwatson | M0hamed: I suppose it's as good as anywhere else | 18:27 |
| M0hamed | ok I was wondering how I could incorporate wubi-like functionality into other distributions | 18:28 |
| M0hamed | debian based | 18:28 |
| cjwatson | it would be a pretty giant amount of work | 18:29 |
| cjwatson | wubi includes integration into the installer, and there are lots of pieces that aren't in Debian yet | 18:29 |
| cjwatson | I'm not even sure I can enumerate them all and I wrote several of them | 18:29 |
| === elif_brb is now known as elif | ||
| M0hamed | but the veru first version of lupin was a side project thatuses the debian installer with no change in the actuall ubuntu source | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | I know, but it did stuff like running sed over installer code at run-time | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | it wasn't maintainable like that, so we integrated it into the installer instead | 18:31 |
| M0hamed | so it wouldnt be a good GSoc project | 18:32 |
| cjwatson | you're not the first to ask, but I suspect that it would be pretty challenging as GSoC projects go, yes ... | 18:32 |
| M0hamed | cjwatson: can you tell me where to look for more info and how to build it from source | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | I think at the very least you would need to limit the scope - for example, including "port ubiquity to Debian" in the scope would reduce its chances of success by a fair bit | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installer/Development is about the best I can do for the Ubuntu installere | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | *installer | 18:33 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| M0hamed | cjwatson: why not just use the debian installer | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | that would be one option for a Debian port | 18:34 |
| M0hamed | cjwatson: why ubiquity | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | it would still require a good deal of work | 18:34 |
| M0hamed | cjwatson: anyway that rules out that project because I am not that experienced in linux development and thought it was a good starting point | 18:36 |
| cjwatson | you'd need to do a full analysis of wubi's preseeding and figure out which installer facilities need to be ported to Debian; separately, you would need to figure out how to integrate the post-install bits, so integrating lupin with live-initramfs, porting the grub2 pieces over, etc. | 18:36 |
| cjwatson | and of course the Windows UI side of things | 18:36 |
| M0hamed | the windows ui is the easiest | 18:37 |
| M0hamed | cjwatson: its what I am experienced in the problem is on the linux side | 18:37 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| cjwatson | oh, and the patches to fuse and ntfs-3g to put it in the initramfs, which we submitted to Debian some time back and the relevant maintainers refused to include them | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | (at least that's my memory ...) | 18:38 |
| M0hamed | cjwatson: so would that be the case for any other debian based distribution | 18:38 |
| M0hamed | or is it just debian itself lacking certain features | 18:39 |
| cjwatson | hm, the fuse patch was rejected, ntfs-3g initramfs never got submitted, but the ntfs-3g udeb patch was marked wontfix with no explanation and that would be absolutely necessary | 18:39 |
