[05:09] bryceh: Is that the same issue I just filed Bug 750967 about? [05:09] Launchpad bug 750967 in apport (Ubuntu) "Backtrace while attempting to report a bug" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/750967 [05:11] scottk, i heard quite a different story about the python3 transition from allison the other day [05:11] (i may have misunderstood) [05:11] Oh? [05:11] but that was that basically packages did not seem very ready to go to python3 so it was unlikely ubuntu would drop python2 soon [05:11] ScottK, yep that's it [05:12] if ubuntu is considering such a move that would obviously be a pretty strong motivation for bzr [05:12] there aren't a lot of other reasons to move at this point [05:12] There's a lot of work to do, but I think it's achievable for 'P' if the project decides to focus on it. [05:14] Most 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. [05:18] ScottK: last I saw stats, most stuff *didn't* support python3 upstream [05:19] ScottK: but thats from a total population, not the 'we package it' subgroup [05:19] lifeless: 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] I know PyQt and PyKDE do. [05:20] The Python3 stuff I've done has seen very little uptake, so it's still early going in the broader sense. [05:21] poolie: Wouldn't "Barry will haunt you if you don't go to Python3" be enough motivation? [05:22] :) [05:22] he is not the scariest ghost in the treehouse [05:23] True. [05:23] Upstream Python is, though, I think totally committed to Python3, so eventually if you want to do Python, you'll have to take the plunge. [05:24] If 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] So you can be 'working on it' even when you haven't decided to switch yet. [05:45] scottk, that's true [05:46] though, i wonder [05:46] So 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] if someone will fork py2.x if the transition is too hard [05:46] yes [05:46] Maybe. [05:46] i have no real evidence, i just wonder about it [05:47] Upstream's pretty clear that's the only way 2.8 would ever happen. [05:47] My experience so far is that code that's written with 2.6 features in mind is pretty easy. [05:48] I worry about the 3.x transistion for LP. [05:53] It will be "fun". [05:53] I think you're spelling it wrong. [05:54] ScottK: But, things like Zope, Twisted and Storm need to support it before we can consider it. [05:54] Yep. [05:54] It's a long term issue. [05:55] I still think coding standards to push to make compatibility easy when the time comes is what makes sense for now. [05:55] ScottK: The problem is that with Twisted, it wants to support a wide range of Python versions. [05:56] Yep. [05:56] I recently managed to convince the other maintainer on one project I'm working on to give up on python2.2.1 compatibility. [05:56] I don't remember 1.5 to 2.1 being this hard. :-) [05:56] It wasn't. [05:57] python had a psychotic break [05:57] python2 -> python3 is more discontinuous. [05:57] Not accidental though.

[09:35] buhl: use nouveau? [09:35] (perhaps with the experimental 3D drivers) [09:36] pitti, Excuse me for maybe being a dumb-ass, but what's nouveau? [09:36] buhl: The free nvidia driver. [09:36] buhl: 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" app [09:36] StevenK: the lag is no longer six hours; I believe the rmadison backend mirror updates hourly now [09:37] buhl: in "additional drivers" you might also see the experimental nouveau 3D driver; worth giving them a shot :) [09:37] cjwatson: Neat! [09:37] Pitti, So if i stop using the proprietary driver, it might work? [09:38] buhl: 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 course [09:38] buhl: 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] ScottK: 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 CD [09:39] buhl: 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] bah, netsplit [09:40] infinity, But as i'm using a relatively old chip, i might benefit from a free driver? [09:41] buhl: 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] buhl: It pretty much just fails miserably at being a cutting edge 3D driver for, say, video gaming. === doko_ is now known as doko [09:42] infinity: I'm a student, so its mostly simulations and math-programs.. And its about 5 years old.. [09:42] doko: Mornin'. [09:43] buhl: Well, as pitti says, one way or another, we'll find a solution to the non-free driver sucking, but there's no harm in you flipping to the free one, and if it does everything you need it to, win. No need to worry about the binary pain. [09:43] infinity: you're in Europe? [09:43] doko: No, but I assumed you were. :P [09:44] heh ... [09:45] infinity, pitty: Thank you very much. Both of you! And i'm looking forward to benefit from your work! [09:45] That was a long split. [09:45] Clearly, we should have switched the free software world to AOL chat rooms a decade and a half ago.

[15:38] nevermind folks, found the linux-image-generic package under maverick-security. my mistake, I looked under maverick-updates just in case [15:38] cr3: it's in maverick-updates too [15:39] cr3: packages are removed from -proposed shortly after they're promoted to -updates [15:39] cjwatson: good to know, thanks! [15:40] will a sru always land in -security or might it be possible that it only lands in -updates? [15:42] dholbach: it was, but someone asked me to change it to friendly patch pilots [15:42] cr3: SRUs don't land in -security; only security updates (a different process) land in -security [15:44] cjwatson - why is linux-image-2.6.35-28-generic in -updates? isn't that the current SRU?

[16:04] cr3: so why did it work on the laptops? [16:04] cjwatson: sru testing mostly consists of making sure the hardware is still supported, so that's mostly kernel related but not fully related [16:04] maybe the laptops were already upgraded to some vintage of -updates [16:05] cjwatson - they went through the same process as the servers [16:05] cjwatson - something for us to worry about [16:05] brendand: maybe linux-image-generic happened to be in the maverick-proposed Packages.gz file yesterday [16:08] that's quite possible; the removal is semi-manual === manjo` is now known as manjo [16:17] didrocks, are you about? :) [16:17] dylan-m: yeah [16:20] Yay!

Need to stop writing patches for things, though; lots of other stuff to do… :b [16:28] haha - I can imagine :) [16:30] howdy dylan-m and dholbach [16:31] hey highvoltage [16:31] Hi highvoltage! === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [16:38] Keybuk: reading bug 707479 - is there anything in https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/natty/upstart/upstart-job-change-restart/+merge/52547 that you object to? it's only changing the effect when called in a SysV kind of way rather than an Upstart kind of way, and the proposed behaviour seems more SysV-compatible to me [16:39] Launchpad bug 707479 in upstart (Ubuntu) "service restart does not use an updated job configuration" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/707479 === udienz_ is now known as udienz [16:39] cjwatson: o/ thanks for taking another look at that btw. :) [16:39] (I don't know if you've already discussed this with Clint on IRC, but since there's no record of a discussion I wanted to check) [16:39] jhunt_: ^ FYI [16:40] cjwatson: I haven't seen that patch [16:40] but I think I may have told Clint that I thought doing that was the right fix [16:40] (making "service" behave SysV-y) [16:40] right, thanks - I just wanted to check that there wasn't contention about that part that I was misssing [16:40] *missing [16:41] since the original report in #707479 did mention service(8) [16:41] no, I definitely think that's the right way to bridge the behaviours [16:41] ok, excellent - thanks! [16:41] right, but the original report was on upstream [16:41] which doesn't contain service(8) [16:41] ah, I missed that [16:42] the Ubuntu task was left open, because it does [16:42] it's never very clear in LP bug history [16:42] Launchpad makes it too damned hard to see that subtlety [16:43] jhunt_: can you merge the branch discussed above for your next Ubuntu upstart upload, then, if you also agree with it?

[16:47] Laney: that would make a lot of sense. :) [16:49] I think there were some counter-arguments, but don't remember what they are [16:49] I think there was a desire to have ubuntu-sponsors be people who were actually active in sponsoring [16:50] Was that pre-pilot? Seems like most devs are active in that on some level. [16:51] * Laney doesn't share that desire: every dev /can/ sponsor, and most will want to at some point [16:54] mvo: WRT LP #733741, does python-apt also need a rebuild before the fix is visible?

[16:58] I could ask james_w whether he has a smaller test case [16:58] kees, cjwatson, pitti, mdz: ok, so now I'm officially confused about when the Tech Board meeting is supposed to be [16:58] SpamapS: added!

[17:00] juliank: Yup; I get amd64 here; I wonder whether it could relate to file:// URIs? [17:00] kees: ah, and there is no intent to change it to be 6pm London time again? [17:00] * lool needs to run to a phone call [17:00] Hey, highvoltage, I think your change for the Edubuntu installer slideshow is mostly new strings, with just five existing translations actually changed (not counting removals). Is that correct? [17:01] Laney: yeah, it's possible that this is an obsolete requirement [17:02] Keybuk: no, tb moved to UTC about 6 months ago because it's not sane to tie it to anything else. [17:03] kees: well, if you and I agree on 11am, we have Quorum, so can just decide things by ourselves [17:03] Keybuk: heh I'm not sure "2" is enough, but it is UTC, and we did set it to 1800. :) [17:04] kees: 2 was always good enough in the old days ;-) [17:04] heh [17:05] lool: its possible that a rebuild is needed, iirc is some of this inline code [17:05] lool: mvo: Yes, with a rebuild we get All -- but only on versions, on packages it remains the native architecture.

I don't really like that. [17:16] mvo: We should try to remove inline code as much as possible in apt 0.8.14 [17:16] juliank, except where it kills performance of course ;-) === Tm_K is now known as Tm_T [17:16] mdz: Actually, performance should be nearly identical between function calls and inlined code, as most of the time in apt is spent reading files on start === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [17:16] juliank, I notice performance in some other areas, at least on my Atom netbook [17:16] juliank: err [17:16] juliank: performance would be massively different between inlines and function calls [17:16] relative time spent in individual activities might not be affected so much, if the majority is I/O [17:16] but that's quite a different thing [17:16] for the resolver it does matter, for readng list file stuff not so much [17:17] and there are plenty of processors out there which *do* care about sheer number of operations and stack changes [17:17] Keybuk, yes, I assumed that was what juliank meant === zyga is now known as zyga-afk [17:18] Well, if we spent 1 second for initializing apt and then 100ms for processing data, it does not matter if we spent 200 ms instead. === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal [17:18] mvo, juliank: Uploaded; thanks [17:19] it'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] And a function to return an architecture name does not need inlining, as far as I know, it's not used in solvong [17:19] (unless you're openoffice or something and are linking against two zillion libraries) [17:20] kees, pitti, Keybuk, mdz: i fear i'm adding less and less value and making the schedule more and more complicated [17:21] juliank: it depends, if you do that 100ms ten times then it does matter [17:21] cjwatson: Another interesting performance thing is that gcc -O3 optimizes array accesses so badly, that using functions compiled with -O2 is much faster [17:22] optimisation such as inlining and replacement can turn that 1s back into 100ms or less === Riddelll is now known as Riddell [17:22] juliank: -O3 is slower than -O2 is almost a universally known truth about gcc (but less true as gcc gets better) [17:22] juliank: heh, interesting; I can't say I'm surprised about issues with -Ogentoo, mind you :-) [17:22] juliank, I completely agree that we should be able to remove problematic inlining without significantly affecting performance, and we should do that. :-) [17:22] cjwatson: I thought -Ogentoo was -O4 [17:22] (OK, -Othelesscluefulofgentoousers) [17:23] because they were using -O4 when gcc only went up to 3 ;-) [17:23] I just didn't want to ignore performance completely, because I think some of the inlines may make a difference [17:23] Keybuk: I think that was -O6, but same deal [17:23] Keybuk: 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-critical [17:23] juliank: if they are not performance-critical, the compiler will probably ignore the "inline" [17:23] inlining: profile profile profile [17:23] (since excessive inlining can kill i-cache locality) [17:23] juliank: the "inline" keyword isn't so much of a rule as a guideline to the compiler [17:24] (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] Keybuk: In short: Code should not be in the header file, but in the .cc file; unless it is extremely important for performance [17:26] juliank, +1 [17:26] cjwatson: Doesn't gcc 4.6 have a new option called -Ofast or something like this? [17:26] juliank, and I'd add (with a nod to cjwatson) that means "we've measured it" [17:36] guys anyone knows good system cleanup tool? please help I need to know how to cleanup trash :| [17:36] lasha: #ubuntu would be a better place to ask [17:36] lasha: This is a development channel, not a support channel [17:37] hmm ok guys, I just had trouble getting answer there :) [17:37] how can i help in development though, I know java [17:38] dylan-m: the strings didn't really change, it was icons that somehow didn't get into the last merge. so now we just have placeholders for some images where it should be the proper icons [17:38] dylan-m: but string changes should be quite minimal, if any, yes [17:40] lasha, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [17:41] and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [17:42] highvoltage: Okay, thanks. Something fishy going on with my revision history, then; my diff says there were a bunch of changes in the new .pot file, but the (awesome as always) Spanish translation has just about everything… [17:42] I think it will all sort itself out when it gets uploaded :) [17:42] ok thank you ogra_ [17:42] dylan-m: ok, great.

[19:41] I'll try to track down Peter [19:42] hallyn_afk: i'll take a look [19:43] thanks! === hallyn_afk is now known as hallyn [19:44] looks like I did the maverick backport in a PPA but never uploaded it to -proposed [19:45] I'll rectify that now [19:47] cjwatson, hallyn: what exactly should i test - that upgrading to the proposed grub2 lets me install/reboot on an existing lucid/mpath system, or do i need to try something at installtime? [19:47] I think ideally we want to make sure that it handles fresh install correctly [19:48] it should be sufficient to put apt-setup/proposed=true on the kernel command line for a lucid netboot install [19:48] cool [19:48] yup - i can do that [19:49] maverick-proposed version uploaded now too, waiting for approval === bregma_ is now known as bregma [20:07] cjwatson: regarding bug 700551 - the patch in the patch in the patch doesn't apply :) Is it safe to just add any of the modelines which it adds back into vbetables-gen.c, as far as you know? [20:07] Error: Launchpad bug 700551 could not be found [20:07] 700511 i guess === Guest13166 is now known as calc [20:09] eh, will assume it is [20:26] hallyn: not sure really, I was just being patch pilot [20:27] hallyn: I guess so though [20:29] cjwatson: yup, building the package, will test. thanks. [20:30] here's a q - is there a good reason why 'bzr uncommit' doesn't remove any tags pointing to the commit being undone? [20:30] oh, bc of looms or somesuch i suppose? [20:33] the revision still exists in the repository, and can be accessed again [20:33] in fact, you might still have another branch pointing to it [20:33] uncommit just winds back the current branch === bjf[afk] is now known as bjf === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [20:52] anyone have some pointers on debugging icedtea/appletviewer? [20:53] been having lots of trouble with it lately; the applet uses native code though === maxb_ is now known as maxb === kklimond` is now known as kklimonda` === kklimonda` is now known as kklimonda_ === kklimonda_ is now known as Guest69816 === Guest69816 is now known as kklimonda [21:27] @pilot out === udevbot changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Archive: Feature/UI freeze | Development of Ubuntu (not support, not app development) | #ubuntu for support and general discussion for dapper -> maverick | #ubuntu-app-devel for application development on Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | See #ubuntu-bugs for http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs | Patch Pilots: [21:28] oh noes.. no pilots! we're gonna crash! === FauxFaux_ is now known as FauxFaux [22:03] SpamapS: who cares :) === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer [22:08] did we intentionally break runlevel 1 -> 2 transitions in the upstart conversion? Seems that many many upstart jobs 'stop on runlevel [!2345]' but do not start on runlevel [2345] [22:19] slangasek, hey [22:20] seb128: hi there [22:20] slangasek, how are you? [22:20] good! you? :-) [22:20] I'm fine thanks [22:20] (what did I break? :-) [22:20] slangasek, does https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/751940 makes any sense to you? [22:20] Ubuntu bug 751940 in glib2.0 (Ubuntu) "Problems with cmake in Ubuntu Ubuntu >= 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)" [Undecided,New] [22:21] oh, cmake - yes, I broke that ;-) [22:21] slangasek, should I reassing to cmake? is there a known bug? [22:21] on purpose? :) [22:21] SpamapS: in the sense that cmake consumers make buggy assumptions which multiarch will not tolerate, yes :-) [22:22] seb128: whatever owns cmake/FindGTK2.cmake, yes [22:22] cmake and buggy builds seem to go hand in hand [22:22] seb128: this ought to use pkg-config as the abstraction [22:23] slangasek, cmake-data says dpkg [22:23] seb128: FindGTK2.cmake does appear to be part of cmake-data; I'll reassign with explanation [22:23] slangasek, thanks! [22:27] slangasek, bug #744910 btw might be yours as well [22:28] slangasek, well "yours" as a consequence of multiarch update [22:28] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/743438 [22:28] Error: Launchpad(https://launchpad.net) bug 743438 not found [22:28] bah [22:29] bug #744910 [22:29] Launchpad bug 744910 in avahi (Ubuntu) "avahi-discover crashed with error in __init__(): (2, 'No such file or directory') (dup-of: 743438)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/744910 [22:29] Launchpad bug 743438 in avahi (Ubuntu) "avahi-discover crashed with error in __init__(): (2, 'No such file or directory')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/743438 [22:29] slangasek, I'm pointed the duplicate on purpose since it has details [22:29] it has a patch as well which is wrong but shows where the issue is ;-) === s1aden is now known as sladen [22:33] slangasek: One of the apt issue went away, but most regressions are still here sadly [22:34] slangasek: I filed a new bug (LP #751961) to track them [22:34] Launchpad bug 751961 in Linaro Image Tools "Testsuite regressions in hwpack module (with multiarch APT?)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/751961 [22:41] pitti: hello, yofel told me to ask you about the retraces [22:41] pitti: most of the time retraces for my bug reports are too late (some update has occured and the trace fails) [22:42] pitti: 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 way [22:42] Tetsuo55: yeah, unfortunately the retracers break very often, it's quite a lot of maintenance [22:42] Tetsuo55: not much, I'm afraid [22:43] they seem to be critical for even taking the bug at all seriously [22:45] i 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? [22:48] pitti: 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 symbols [22:48] or can you file bugs with apport-retrace? [22:51] yofel: 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-bug [22:52] it's not nicely integrated into the UI, but at least works [22:52] note that with apport-retrace it's rather easy to break your installed packages [22:52] it's mostly designed to work in chroots [22:52] ah ok, thanks [22:53] seb128: waah, why does avahi have to use a non-portable database format (gdbm) [22:54] maybe I should just roll back the multiarch change to avahi... it was only uploaded to natty by accident anyway [22:57] slangasek, I've no strong opinion either way but we should at least make sure it's reported upstream we will need that fixed next cycle [22:57] slangasek, btw do you have a tag or something to track multiarch issues? [22:57] seb128: sure, I'm using 'multiarch' [22:58] slangasek, ok, that one just won this tag then ;-) [22:58] thanks :) [22:58] thank *you* ;-) [22:59] I think the quickest fix is to make python-avahi arch: any [22:59] and properly populate the .py.in at build time [22:59] so let's do that [23:02] slangasek: do you want me to get multiarch to be an official distro tag? [23:03] micahg: that seems like a reasonable thing to do [23:03] ok, will bring up at the bugsquad meeting next week [23:04] cheers :) [23:05] ogra_: oh sorry forgot about that URL. Got the email, thanks. Will take a look at those this morning. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
