[02:46] <psusi> switching back and forth between packages that leave quilt patches applied in bzr and ones that don't is driving me up the fscking wall!  for the love of root, will someone fix the auto package importer to deapply patches before committing?
[02:49] <poolie> psusi, you're pretty sure that would be better across the board?
[02:49] <poolie> there was a thread about this recently
[02:50] <poolie> i can see the inconsistency would suck
[02:51] <psusi> poolie, yes!  reviewing commits that add a quilt patch, AND modify the files the quilt patch touches is a royal pain in the ass
[02:51] <poolie> yeah
[02:51] <psusi> but yea, inconsistency is worse than that
[02:51] <psusi> not to mention a needless bloating of the archive

[07:33] <tkamppeter> OdyX, we are after FF, I think activating a new sync after FF is not possible.
[07:36] <micahg> tkamppeter, depending on the change, we can still sync, what's the question?
[07:39] <tkamppeter> I have uploaded foomatic-db to Ubuntu, a new upstream source which adds a bug fix. This package is the same in Ubuntu and Debian. We want to have a sync here, but as we are after FF I thought that the sync is not possible, because arbitrary Debian uploads cannot go into Ubuntu.
[07:40] <tkamppeter> micahg, does a sync not mean that every Debian upload goes automatically into Ubuntu?
[07:40] <slangasek> no, syncs can be processed on packages individually
[07:40] <slangasek> this is the purpose of the 'requestsync' tool, for instance

[11:57] <brendand> cjwatson - do you know that bootchart is broken in recent natty images? it seems since yesterday
[11:57] <ogra_> pitti, but that will suppress other optimizations, no ?
[11:57] <ogra_> pitti, Qt seems to not be able to handle 8bit images for stacking them onto alpha blended ones :)
[11:57] <pitti> ogra_: no, that one just disables png optimizations

[14:13] <OdyX> the -packed flavour finally was transitional, so It'd be nice to not have it in Natty.

[17:26] <jamespage> cjwatson beat me to it....
[17:26] <slangasek> ok
[17:35] <SpamapS> So.. the runit-run package uses dpkg-divert to replace /sbin/init ...
[17:40] <SpamapS> I'm not sure if this is a huge critical bug or just an insanely weird package.
[17:43] <jamespage> slangasek: it would be great if foundations could pick this up - is doko around?
[17:46] <abhinav-> pitti, Interestingly, I have the latest linux header updates pending in the update manager, but apport simply starts with asking questions. I was thinking that report.obsolete_packages() checks the cache
[17:46] <pitti> abhinav-: it only checks (transitive) dependencies of the crashed program, not all packages
[17:49] <abhinav-> pitti, so apport-bug linux would check for linux and its dependencies ?
[17:49] <pitti> abhinav-: yes, and as the kernel doesn't have many, it won't complain
[17:49] <abhinav-> hmm
=== beuno is now known as beuno-lunch
[17:50] <pitti> abhinav-: you could e. g. install acl (or another small package) from maverick, and then try to report a bug against it
[17:51] <pitti> abhinav-: or from lucid, if you are on natty; try installing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.49-2_i386.deb and then ubuntu-bug acl
[17:51] <abhinav-> pitti, ah ok thanks. I am on maverick though.

[17:58] <slangasek> I would think so

[18:15] <abhinav_> pitti, acl is also in apt's cache, but apport is not reporting it as obsolete. I checked with my new code as well as with the current trunk
[18:18] <slangasek> Riddell: if I understand your cmake change correctly, this populates the search path by invoking dpkg-architecture at runtime, right?
[18:19] <slangasek> Riddell: in that case, you probably also want cmake to depend on dpkg-dev, since dpkg-dev isn't guaranteed to be installed on the systems of end users who are doing non-package-related development
[18:20] <jamespage> slangasek: thankyou
[18:20] <slangasek> (but this is a minor bug - the fix looks very nice, glad you guys were able to come up with a solution)
[18:22] <slangasek> Riddell: as a side effect, this seems to fix cmake behavior for cross-compilation against libraries in multiarch paths... which is exactly what we want to see :-)

[19:26] <chrisccoulson> slangasek, that's hard to describe, it's a fairly complex and customized build system just built around make
[19:27] <chrisccoulson> slangasek, yeah, thunderbird-3.3 is in one of our PPA's, but the failure also affects the firefox and thunderbird packages in the archive

[22:28] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: ping
[22:30] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: any ideas what might be cause this? http://me.roaksoax.com/dual-monitor.jpeg (Intel Video driver maybe?)
[22:31] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, could be a few things
[22:31] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, do you have compiz running?  (looks like no?)
[22:32] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: nope
[22:32] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, what video driver?
[22:32] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: just happens when laptop's LCD is off though
[22:32] <bryceh> heh, here comes a game of 20 questions
[22:32] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, why don't you describe a bit more about your setup
[22:32] <bryceh> what you did to reproduce, etc.
[22:33] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: Intel HD Video graphics. Lenovo x201 recently purchased. I connect it to VGA and when having the laptop's LCD on, then the external monitors work just fine
[22:33] <RoAkSoAx> when turning off the LCD displayt and just leaving the external monitors, it shows that
[22:34] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: i connect to both external monitors via a dualhead2go, though when using another laptop with nvidia drivers, this doesn't happen
[22:35] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: and it doesn;t matter if I connect it to one external monitors, or the two (via dualhead2go). Same result
[22:36] <bryceh> when you connect to one monitor, is that through the dualhead2go device or straight thru?
[22:36] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: straight thru
[22:36] <bryceh> in what manner do you turn off the LCD display?
[22:37] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: gnome-display-properties
[22:37] <bryceh> hmm
[22:38] <slangasek> pitti: heh, fontconfig is not the only package broken by cdbs+python-scour; atk is as well
[22:38] <bryceh> alright, so most likely it's either a kernel (KMS) problem with drm or potentially gnome-display-properties
[22:38] <slangasek> and I just broke it
=== Guest95250 is now known as ogra
[22:38] <slangasek> (on powerpc, anyway)
[22:38] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: if I use my other laptop with nVidia proprietary or with nouveau, I don't experience this at all
[22:39] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, well, it is almost certainly something unusual about that particular laptop's vga port
[22:39] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, however that does tend to rule out bad edid I suppose
[22:40] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, here is what I would do to diagnose it a bit further
[22:40] <bryceh> a.  reboot with the monitor attached, and verify the problem still occurs
[22:40] <bryceh> actually
[22:41] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: (oh forgot to mention, this worked fine in Maverick) and I've done a. and the problem persists
[22:41] <bryceh> a.  reboot with the monitor attached and lvds left on, you should not see the problem
[22:41] <bryceh> b.  now use xrandr to disable the lvds (not gnome-display-properties)
[22:42] <bryceh> c.  if the issue still occurs at this point, run 'ubuntu-bug xorg' and I'll take a look
[22:42]  * RoAkSoAx on it now
[22:42] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, otoh if it does not occur when disabling the monitor using xrandr, then the bug probably should be filed against gnome-display-properties
[22:43] <bryceh> although, in either case I suspect the root cause may be kernel kms drm driver issues, but probably best to start from userspace for diagnostic purposes
[22:44] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, if you can also post a Xorg.0.log and 'xrandr --verbose' output from when it's working *correctly* for comparison purposes, that'll probably help
[22:45] <cjwatson> bryceh: FYI Andy's kernel/udev/plymouth/gdm/etc. suite of changes is on its way up now
[22:45] <bryceh> cjwatson, awesome!  many bug reports are about to fall
[22:45] <cjwatson> nvidia is still problematic I think, but I added plymouth:force-drm which lets people experiment with the plymouth drm driver again on nouveau
[22:45] <cjwatson> can't speak for ati
[22:46] <bryceh> I'll email AMD and let them know
[22:46] <bryceh> -fglrx is still unreleased
[22:47] <cjwatson> haven't yet touched kdm
[22:47] <cjwatson> but it shouldn't break them
[22:49] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: yeah ut seens to be gnome-display-properties then as I disable with xrandr and external monitors work just fine with LVDS off
[22:50] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, ok good, that narrows it down nicely
[22:51] <bryceh> RoAkSoAx, ok i think you have enough info to file a bug report against gnome-display-properties, and xrandr should give you a workaround for now, but feel free to let me know if you have any other questions
[22:51] <RoAkSoAx> bryceh: awesome! Tha nks a lot for the help
[22:57] <bryceh> cjwatson, ok AMD is notified of the change.  Hopefully they'll catch any issues in their testing

=== vorian is now known as v

=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
[23:41] <cjwatson> debfx: because the primary alternative, kdesdk-kio-plugins, is uninstallable on armel at the moment (it's out of sync, which is presumably why), so germinate fails to resolve it and falls back to the secondary alternative
