robert_ancellpoolie, I've had similar issues before, and it's actually been due to an interaction between the touchpad and the mouse.  In that case I move the touchpad and it starts working again.  I'm wondering if you've got the same thing00:58

pooliescottk, i heard quite a different story about the python3 transition from allison the other day05:11
poolie(i may have misunderstood)05:11
ScottKOh?05:11
pooliebut that was that basically packages did not seem very ready to go to python3 so it was unlikely ubuntu would drop python2 soon05:11
brycehScottK, yep that's it05:11
poolieif ubuntu is considering such a move that would obviously be a pretty strong motivation for bzr05:12
pooliethere aren't a lot of other reasons to move at this point05:12
ScottKThere's a lot of work to do, but I think it's achievable for 'P' if the project decides to focus on it.05:12
ScottKMost of the major upstream stuff supports python3 (although we don't have it all properly packaged).  The major issue will, IMO, be the custom code that's used in Ubuntu only.05:14
* ScottK has no idea how hard a Python3 Ubiquity port would be.05:14
lifelessScottK: last I saw stats, most stuff *didn't* support python3 upstream05:18
lifelessScottK: but thats from a total population, not the 'we package it' subgroup05:19
ScottKlifeless: In the broader python world I think that's true.  The stuff needed for a KDE/Gnome desktop though I think supports it.05:19
ScottKI know PyQt and PyKDE do.05:19
ScottKThe Python3 stuff I've done has seen very little uptake, so it's still early going in the broader sense.05:20
ScottKpoolie: Wouldn't "Barry will haunt you if you don't go to Python3" be enough motivation?05:21
poolie:)05:22
pooliehe is not the scariest ghost in the treehouse05:22
ScottKTrue.05:23
ScottKUpstream Python is, though, I think totally committed to Python3, so eventually if you want to do Python, you'll have to take the plunge.05:23
ScottKIf you're writing for python2.6 or later, it's pretty easy to also write stuff that is either valid python3 or 2to3 will handle.05:24
ScottKSo you can be 'working on it' even when you haven't decided to switch yet.05:24
pooliescottk, that's true05:45
pooliethough, i wonder05:46
ScottKSo even if you aren't considering a near-term port, I think having coding standards that support making the eventual transition 'easy' are a good idea for now.05:46
poolieif someone will fork py2.x if the transition is too hard05:46
poolieyes05:46
ScottKMaybe.05:46
pooliei have no real evidence, i just wonder about it05:46
ScottKUpstream's pretty clear that's the only way 2.8 would ever happen.05:47
ScottKMy experience so far is that code that's written with 2.6 features in mind is pretty easy.05:47
StevenKI worry about the 3.x transistion for LP.05:48
ScottKIt will be "fun".05:53
StevenKI think you're spelling it wrong.05:53
StevenKScottK: But, things like Zope, Twisted and Storm need to support it before we can consider it.05:54
ScottKYep.05:54
ScottKIt's a long term issue.05:54
ScottKI still think coding standards to push to make compatibility easy when the time comes is what makes sense for now.05:55
StevenKScottK: The problem is that with Twisted, it wants to support a wide range of Python versions.05:55
ScottKYep.05:56
ScottKI recently managed to convince the other maintainer on one project I'm working on to give up on python2.2.1 compatibility.05:56
StevenKI don't remember 1.5 to 2.1 being this hard. :-)05:56
ScottKIt wasn't.05:56
lifelesspython had a psychotic break05:57
ScottKpython2 -> python3 is more discontinuous.05:57

buhlpitti, Yes..09:33
pittibuhl: that's bug 725434 then; we'll get it nailed for final one way or the other09:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 725434 in cairo (Ubuntu Natty) "Nvidia drivers lead to extra memory usage for each process using libGL" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72543409:33
buhlpitti, Is there a temporary workaround?09:35
pittibuhl: use nouveau?09:35
pitti(perhaps with the experimental 3D drivers)09:35
buhlpitti, Excuse me for maybe being a dumb-ass, but what's nouveau?09:36
infinitybuhl: The free nvidia driver.09:36
pittibuhl: sorry; it's the default free driver for nvidia cards, i. e. what you get when you don't install the proprietary one in the "addidional hardware" app09:36
cjwatsonStevenK: the lag is no longer six hours; I believe the rmadison backend mirror updates hourly now09:36
pittibuhl: in "additional drivers" you might also see the experimental nouveau 3D driver; worth giving them a shot :)09:37
StevenKcjwatson: Neat!09:37
buhlPitti, So if i stop using the proprietary driver, it might work?09:37
pittibuhl: the memleak will be gone, and 2D apps will still work; I don't know how well the 3D nouveau driver will work on your system, of course09:38
infinitybuhl: If you stop using the proprietary driver, it'll certainly fix this particular issue.  It may also, however, lead to other issues, depending on your chipset, and your usage patterns (ie: heavy 3D use)09:38
cjwatsonScottK: python3 ubiquity> not desperately hard for oneiric, I think; the only real reason we were holding off was that it would commit us to shipping python3 on the CD09:38
infinitybuhl: The situation with nvidia and ati chipsets has always been a bit lose-lose in these cases.  The proprietary drivers work great until they explode, and there's little we can do about them except try to find a sweet spot, and due to lack of documentation, the free drivers always lag behind and seem a bit lackluster, especially on newer chips.09:39
cjwatsonbah, netsplit09:39
buhlinfinity, But as i'm using a relatively old chip, i might benefit from a free driver?09:40
infinitybuhl: Depends on how relatively old.  On the other hand, if you pretty much just do 2D/desktop type stuff, nouveau will probably be fine for you regardless.09:41
infinitybuhl: It pretty much just fails miserably at being a cutting edge 3D driver for, say, video gaming.09:41

buhlinfinity: I'm a student, so its mostly simulations and math-programs.. And its about 5 years old..09:42
infinitydoko: Mornin'.09:42

dokoinfinity: you're in Europe?09:43
infinitydoko: No, but I assumed you were. :P09:43

=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
brendandcjwatson - it seems there is no linux-image-generic package in -proposed, which is meaning the dist-upgrade is not seeing anything15:56
cjwatsonbrendand: there doesn't need to be - the linux-image-generic package in -updates is sufficient, since its dependencies don't need to change15:59
cjwatsonlinux-image-generic just depends on linux-image-2.6.35-28-generic, and doesn't actually ship any significant files itself15:59
cjwatsonand all systems with -proposed in sources.list must also have -updates in sources.list16:00
cr3brendand: aha! so the problem is that we only had maverick and maverick-proposed, no maverick-updates so we didn't get the latest linux-image-generic package16:00
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
cr3I'm not sure how I feel about having to perform a whole upgrade in order to perform sru testing on each system16:01
cjwatsonsuch a configuration will certainly cause problems, yes16:01
cjwatsonyou don't have to; you can install just the packages you're testing, if you like16:01
cr3perhaps a compromise would be to add -updates but only dist-upgrade linux-image-generic rather than dist-upgrade without arguments16:02
cjwatson'install linux-image-generic', not 'dist-upgrade linux-image-generic' - dist-upgrade doesn't take arguments16:02
cjwatson(although bear in mind that most users will have fully upgraded; ideally, our testing should match their configuration)16:02
hallynanyone know of an irc channel relevant to libpciaccess?16:03
brendandcr3: so why did it work on the laptops?16:04
cr3cjwatson: sru testing mostly consists of making sure the hardware is still supported, so that's mostly kernel related but not fully related16:04
cjwatsonmaybe the laptops were already upgraded to some vintage of -updates16:04
brendandcjwatson - they went through the same process as the servers16:05

Keybukjuliank: err17:16

Keybukrelative time spent in individual activities might not be affected so much, if the majority is I/O17:16
Keybukbut that's quite a different thing17:16
mvofor the resolver it does matter, for readng list file stuff not so much17:16

loolmvo, juliank: Uploaded; thanks17:18
cjwatsonit's funny how ideas about performance stick around.  for ages I had a bit set that linking against additional libraries was bad on i386 because of register starvation; while actually this may be true for the *first* library, but once you've linked against libc it doesn't make a whole lot of difference :)17:19
juliankAnd a function to return an architecture name does not need inlining, as far as I know, it's not used in solvong17:19
cjwatson(unless you're openoffice or something and are linking against two zillion libraries)17:19
sabdflkees, pitti, Keybuk, mdz: i fear i'm adding less and less value and making the schedule more and more complicated17:20
Keybukjuliank: it depends, if you do that 100ms ten times then it does matter17:21
juliankcjwatson: Another interesting performance thing is that gcc -O3 optimizes array accesses so badly, that using functions compiled with -O2 is much faster17:21
Keybukoptimisation such as inlining and replacement can turn that 1s back into 100ms or less17:22
=== Riddelll is now known as Riddell
Keybukjuliank: -O3 is slower than -O2 is almost a universally known truth about gcc (but less true as gcc gets better)17:22
cjwatsonjuliank: heh, interesting; I can't say I'm surprised about issues with -Ogentoo, mind you :-)17:22
mdzjuliank, I completely agree that we should be able to remove problematic inlining without significantly affecting performance, and we should do that. :-)17:22
Keybukcjwatson: I thought -Ogentoo was -O417:22
cjwatson(OK, -Othelesscluefulofgentoousers)17:22
Keybukbecause they were using -O4 when gcc only went up to 3 ;-)17:23
mdzI just didn't want to ignore performance completely, because I think some of the inlines may make a difference17:23
cjwatsonKeybuk: I think that was -O6, but same deal17:23
juliankKeybuk: Yes. But code should not be inlined just because it is short, only if it is performance critical. In APT, many inline functions are not performance-critical17:23
Keybukjuliank: if they are not performance-critical, the compiler will probably ignore the "inline"17:23
cjwatsoninlining: profile profile profile17:23
cjwatson(since excessive inlining can kill i-cache locality)17:23
Keybukjuliank: the "inline" keyword isn't so much of a rule as a guideline to the compiler17:23
Keybuk(at least I'm pretty sure that's true in C++ too, but I'm rusty and frankly the C++ standard scares me :p)17:24
juliankKeybuk: In short: Code should not be in the header file, but in the .cc file; unless it is extremely important for performance17:24
mdzjuliank, +117:26
juliankcjwatson: Doesn't gcc 4.6 have a new option called -Ofast or something like this?17:26

SpamapSpitti: remind me again, its ok for me to sponsor an upload to lucid-proposed and then review it for acceptance into lucid-proposed, right?19:24
slangasekSpamapS: there's no firm policy against it, but I've always tried to be arms-length about sponsor vs. SRU accept (or RM / archive admin accept)19:25

pittiSpamapS: as slangasek said, there's no firm rule; I used to do sponsoring and SRU accepting for the same patch as well, though19:28

pittiKeybuk: don't we all? all this bureaucracy ... :)19:29

SpamapSon purpose? :)22:21

Tetsuo55pitti: hello, yofel told me to ask you about the retraces22:41
Tetsuo55pitti: most of the time retraces for my bug reports are too late (some update has occured and the trace fails)22:41
Tetsuo55pitti: isn't there anything we can do about this? it often takes a few days for the scan to occur so it will often fail this way22:42
pittiTetsuo55: yeah, unfortunately the retracers break very often, it's quite a lot of maintenance22:42
pittiTetsuo55: not much, I'm afraid22:42
Tetsuo55they seem to be critical for even taking the bug at all seriously22:43
Tetsuo55i have no idea how the retrace bots? work, but it would seem to me that if retraces are required to accept bug reports that canonical would invest more into making them faster and more stable?22:45
yofelpitti: how much work would it be to make  at least apport-cli able to retrace a crash before filing it? At least giving the option to refresh the attached stacktrace if you install more debugging symbols22:48
yofelor can you file bugs with apport-retrace?22:48
pittiyofel: you can not report the crash through the ui, then run apport-retrace locally on the .crash file, and then submit the updated .crash file through ubuntu-bug22:51
pittiit's not nicely integrated into the UI, but at least works22:52
pittinote that with apport-retrace it's rather easy to break your installed packages22:52
pittiit's mostly designed to work in chroots22:52
yofelah ok, thanks22:52

slangasekmaybe I should just roll back the multiarch change to avahi... it was only uploaded to natty by accident anyway22:54
seb128slangasek, I've no strong opinion either way but we should at least make sure it's reported upstream we will need that fixed next cycle22:57
seb128slangasek, btw do you have a tag or something to track multiarch issues?22:57

seb128slangasek, ok, that one just won this tag then ;-)22:58
