[02:48] <ScottK> GunnarHj: Pong
[02:54] <GunnarHj> ScottK: Hi Scott! It's about a gdm security update in lucid and maverick leading to the backports binaries no longer being the latest versions. I wanted to ask if there is some shortcut available for dealing with the issue. What I'm about to do is making new backports branches that include the update.
[02:54] <GunnarHj> ScottK: After having thought about it, I assume that this is a general problem with backports. Is it so?
[02:55] <ScottK> GunnarHj: That's the right thing to do.  Normally backports have enough higher version this doesn't come up.
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
[02:57] <micahg> this is actually good in this case
=== Pilif12p is now known as p21filiP
[02:59] <GunnarHj> ScottK, micahg: But would it have been appropriate to set a higher version? I mean, in that case the backports users would not have been notified about the security update, right?
[02:59] <ScottK> GunnarHj: Backports are unsupported, so that's not unusual.  It's like using a Universe package.
[02:59] <micahg> GunnarHj: well, the version was appropriate for what was backported
[03:00] <micahg> GunnarHj: in this case, the users are better off secure, than with the backport, the solution is to rebase the backport, sometimes packages are backported and not updated for security fixes which can be problematic for backports users
[03:05] <GunnarHj> ScottK, micahg: Think I got it. As regards typical backports, even if they are official, they are unsupported, and users install them on their own risk with respect to possible updates afterwards.
[03:06] <ScottK> Yes.
[03:06] <ScottK> Generally though it's easy enough to backport an update that has the relevant security fix.
=== p21filiP is now known as Pilif12p
[03:08] <GunnarHj> ScottK: But not quite as easy in this case... Guess I have myself to blame. ;-)
[03:09] <micahg> GunnarHj: nah, gdm's just not the normal fare for backports, usually with leaf packages, you just backport the latest version assuming it'll build/run
[03:09] <ScottK> Fortunately you can diff the security update from the base package and it should be ~easy to figure out how to update your backport.
[03:09] <ScottK> micahg: No, we test that it builds/runs.  Not much more though.
[03:10]  * micahg wonders what he said wrong
[03:10] <ScottK> In fact builds/installs/runs is the exact test criteria.
[03:12] <sbeattie> GunnarHj: FYI, bug 746796 is about the gdm backports issue.
[03:12] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 746796 in gdm (Ubuntu) "locale switched from fr_FR.UTF-8 to fr_FR after upgrade to 2.30.5-0ubuntu4.1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/746796
[03:13] <GunnarHj> ScottK: Yeah, not saying it's _that_ difficult. Btw, considering it's gdm, can you upload the new branches, or should I ask someone in ubuntu-desktop?
[03:13] <sbeattie> GunnarHj: also, the patch fixed in USN-1099-1 is self-contained; I would be highly surprised if it didn't apply cleanly.

[07:14] <DreadKnight> was there some alternative network manager for natty? called conman or something?
[07:15] <DreadKnight> because latest updates broke my network manager, which makes my main machine kinda useless now
[07:15] <holstein> how about wicd ?
[07:16] <DreadKnight> hmm
[07:17] <DreadKnight> holstein: does it have indicator support by any chance?
[07:18] <RAOF> Connman is in the archives, yes.
[07:18] <ohsix> what broke?
[07:18] <DreadKnight> RAOF: so that's how you spell it xD geez
[07:19] <holstein> DreadKnight: well, it did
[07:19] <ohsix> nm has its own logging, you should probably look & report the breakage, chances are it isn't nm
[07:19] <holstein> not sure about how things are now though
[07:19] <holstein> i havent had a chance to look at wicd+natty
[07:19] <RAOF> Last time I tried it it was not particularly functional; it'd do brain-dead things like update hostname to a string based on the connection and wouldn't update routes when a wired connection got plugged in.
[07:19] <DreadKnight> fail
[07:20] <holstein> :/
[07:20] <ohsix> big fail
[07:20] <RAOF> DreadKnight: In short, I'd suggest working out why network manager isn't working and fix it :)
[07:21] <DreadKnight> I can fix other stuff, but when it comes to internet and not being able to at least have a wired connection...
[07:21] <DreadKnight> might as well reinstall or look for another distro :
[07:22] <holstein> theres other distros ?
[07:22] <holstein> ;)
[07:22] <holstein> DreadKnight: try updating a different way

[07:27] <ohsix> hm /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf references /etc/default/NetworkManager but it's not there
[07:28] <DreadKnight> ohsix: bad prank for 1 april i guess
[07:28] <ohsix> DreadKnight: i know it says that when i blacklist a device as unmanaged, but i do that in NetworkManager.conf, there are other places that can probably do it, i'd rule those out
[07:28] <ohsix> like /etc/network/interfaces
[07:28] <GunnarHj> micahg: I have test builds in my ppa. Haven't actually tested them.
[07:28] <DreadKnight> holstein: same crap on older kernel
[07:28] <ohsix> the nm logging in /var/log probably says when its ignoring a device and why, too
[07:28] <micahg> GunnarHj: that's a requirement for backports
[07:29] <holstein> DreadKnight: hmmm
[07:30] <holstein> not sure, it is still beta
[07:30] <DreadKnight> too much crap in /var/log/
[07:30] <holstein> updates break sometimes :/
[07:30] <GunnarHj> micahg: I know. Just felt it was a little urgent, and since it's effectively just a combination...
[07:30] <DreadKnight> holstein: I know; but this breakage is ultra lame
[07:30] <ohsix> DreadKnight: just how lame is it
[07:31] <ohsix> and that message indicates user configuration ...
[07:31] <micahg> GunnarHj: still needs testing though
[07:31] <GunnarHj> micahg: Stupid arguments, btw. Will test. Logging out for now. See you.
[07:31] <holstein> DreadKnight: im suspicious of the proprietary driver install you were talking about
[07:31] <holstein> you might want to look at that a bit more
[07:32] <DreadKnight> holstein: did that for the modem software; but was just a try out at fixing the issue
[07:33] <DreadKnight> probably I don't have anything to do with modems anyway
[07:34] <holstein> DreadKnight: i would probably sleep on it
[07:34] <holstein> and see if an update comes along that sorts you out
[07:35] <ohsix> that is, if you don't want to figure out what it is
[07:35] <DreadKnight> holstein: I won't be able to update anyway, would have to get packages on another machine in the best case scenario and move them via an usb hdd... but that makes things kinda complicates as I won't know when or what...
[07:35] <DreadKnight> d*
[07:35] <DreadKnight> and not even if*
[07:36] <holstein> i usually find that with things like that
[07:36] <holstein> its my own fault

[13:51] <mdz> tjaalton, no, sorry, Jane has rebooted
[13:52] <mdz> tjaalton, does the apport hook not collect that?
[13:52] <didrocks> mdz: pang the xorg guys directly as it's more in their field of competence ;)
[13:52] <mdz> i915_error_state: no error state collected
[13:52] <mdz> didrocks, ah, ok
[13:52] <tjaalton> mdz: it did for the other bug you linked to, don't know why not this time
[13:53] <tjaalton> maybe it doesn't include it if it contains just that
[13:53] <mdz> tjaalton, it's there: "no error state collected"
[13:53] <mdz> tjaalton, that's the actual contents
[13:53] <mdz> I think
[13:55] <tjaalton> mdz: ok, thanks for confirming
[13:55] <mdz> tjaalton, it just does this:     attach_file_if_exists(report, '/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state', 'i915_error_state')
[13:58] <mdz> tjaalton, i915_debugfs.c:396:		seq_printf(m, "no error state collected\n");
[13:59] <tjaalton> mdz: yep, figured as much
[13:59] <tjaalton> ickle said it wasn't a hung gpu, but related to the drm error, and will follow up on the upstream bug later
[14:00] <doko> tkamppeter, pitti: could we re-add the dependency of ghostscript in gs-common for the release? just too many build failures left
[14:02] <pitti> no problem from my side; I still see about 20 reverse build deps, do they all fail because they mean "ghostscript" when they say "gs-common"?
[14:04] <doko> yes, /bin/sh: ps2pdf: not found
[14:10] <tgardner> pitti, I'm coming to the conclusion that conf files are a bad idea. if you screw them up then the carnage lasts forever. wrt module-init-tools, should I perpetuate the carnage, or just delete the conf files from the package and leave it at that? this version missed B1 so it won't be on a CD.
[14:10] <pitti> tgardner: I think in this case we can just have a preinst snippet which bluntly rm -f's it
[14:11] <pitti> tgardner: it's only been in natty for a day or two as you say, so we don't need to be concerned about keeping user changes
[14:11] <pitti> tgardner: please do check the dpkg --compare-version "$2" ..., though :)
[14:12] <tgardner> pitti, why bother? there is no version where intel-3945-iwlagn-disable11n.conf is valid.
[14:13] <pitti> tgardner: it might come back at some point, though
[14:13] <pitti> tgardner: it doesn't cost much and is safer
[14:13] <pitti> tgardner: but I guess we can drop the preinst code after beta-2 anyway?
[14:14] <tgardner> pitti, yes
[14:27] <tgardner> pitti, can you give this a quick look? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/module-init-tools/+bug/747025/comments/5
[14:27] <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 747025 in module-init-tools (Ubuntu Natty) "Modprobe passes 11n_disable=1 option to iwl3945 which doesn't support the option" [High,In progress]

[14:59] <dpm> hi cjwatson, the e-mail announcement I sent yesterday about Ubuntu AppDeveloperWeek didn't seem to make it to ubuntu-devel. Could you approve it when you've got a minute? thanks!
[15:01] <pitti> dpm: ah, I only approved it to u-devel-announce@, I thought that was what you meant
[15:03] <dpm> pitti, yeah, I got confused because I thought only Colin was admin on ubuntu-devel, I've just noticed that it didn't make it there - thanks for approving it on -announce, though :)
[15:09] <cjwatson> dpm: done

[17:59] <pitti> because it's /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.la now?
[18:01] <doko> pitti: maybe, packages in universe are a mess now :-/
[18:02] <micahg> slangasek posted a list the other day

[18:03] <slangasek> (some of these may have already been rebuilt since the list was generated, I'll refresh it a bit later today)
[18:04] <doko> maybe we should give these packages in the test rebuild
[18:04] <penguin42> anyone fix a link typo on http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/beta; the link to 'Download the Ubuntu 11.04 beta' goes to #Download%20Beta  where I think it should be #Download%20Beta%201
[18:21] <broder> slangasek, kklimonda_: did either of you start on the universe rebuilds? if not i'll just start working my way down from the top

[18:55] <hrw> kklimonda_: will you attend UDS-O?
[18:56] <slangasek> broder: use your best judgement - the highest priority is to get them all rebuilt, but if we have time to also fix some along the way to proof them against future changes, that's better in the long run
=== skaet is now known as skaet_afk
[18:57] <micahg> well, now that we have the list, we can always "fix" them later
[18:58] <slangasek> yeah, though that's kinda double work
[18:59] <broder> i don't think it's too much trouble to take care of them now - there are fairly standard snippets for most of the standard build systems

=== beuno-lunch is now known as beuno
[19:10] <slangasek> jani_: hmmm, why is removing the symbol from the .symbols file the right fix for bug #747047?  Symbols files exist to guard against accidental ABI changes that can break reverse-dependencies, is this symbol not needed here?
[19:10] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 747047 in clutter-1.0 (Ubuntu) "clutter-1.0 version 1.6.10-3ubuntu1 failed to build on armel" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/747047
[19:15] <jani_> slangasek, from what I understood, the diff suggested by dh_shlibdeps is what is needed to fix such errors
[19:16] <slangasek> jani_: it's what's needed to *avoid* the error, but it takes someone looking at why the symbol is gone away to decide if this is a "fix" :)
[19:17] <jani_> slangasek, I admit I do not fully understend symbol files :)
[19:17] <jani_> so such fixes based on what dh_shlibdeps say are not actually fixes?
[19:18] <slangasek> jani_: so a previous version of the library in the libclutter-1.0-0 package exported a 'clutter_clone_get_paint_volume' symbol.  The package is configured with dpkg-gensymbols -c4 specifically to treat it as a fatal error when a symbol goes missing, because other packages in the archive may be relying on that symbol being available at runtime
[19:18] <jani_> so the bug is why the library no longer exports that?
[19:19] <slangasek> the questions then are: is the symbol's disappearance deliberate, or is it an accident?  And if it is deliberate, is it safe wrt the reverse-dependencies?
[19:20] <jani_> slangasek, just checked upstream
[19:20] <jani_> commit fd89dee1b01c01619110cd77968062aaf2a98b79
[19:20] <jani_> Author: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com>
[19:20] <jani_> Date:   Fri Mar 18 14:09:57 2011 +0000
[19:20] <jani_>     clutter-clone: Make clutter_clone_get_paint_volume static
[19:20] <jani_>     
[19:20] <jani_>     clutter_clone_get_paint_volume was being exported from the shared
[19:20] <jani_>     library because the function wasn't declared static. This function
[19:20] <jani_>     shouldn't be exposed because it should be accessed through
[19:20] <jani_>     clutter_actor_get_paint_volume.
[19:20] <slangasek> ok
[19:20] <jani_> so it is deliberate, as for reverse deps I don't know
[19:21] <jani_> from the description it seems it was not part of a publicised API
[19:22] <slangasek> so in fact the symbol disappeared on all architectures, and it's just the armel symbols file that didn't get updated
[19:22] <slangasek> so your change is fine :)
[19:22] <jani_> not sure why the armel file did not get updated as the others
[19:22] <jani_> phew
[19:32] <slangasek> jani_: probably because "all the others" shared a single .symbols file which is the one that got updated :)
[19:32] <slangasek> and if it builds on x86, it's good to upload ;)
[19:49] <broder> ok, maybe knowing the topo sort for these rebuilds would be helpful. the first two on the list depend on other rebuilds. oh well
