| ohsix | hm, is there a reason oss4 still has a package, all i've ever heard is people thinking it'll solve their problems and giving them new ones | 07:25 |
| TheMuso | ohsix: I didn't even know there was a package of it. | 07:25 |
| ohsix | sec lemme check the origin | 07:26 |
| ohsix | it's in universe/sound | 07:26 |
| ohsix | oss4-base and some other packages with oss4 in the name | 07:26 |

| didrocks | good morning | 07:58 |
| ohsix | hm, what's the process for say; getting flat-volumes finally enabled in pulseaudio on ubuntu, it is disabled when sinks don't have dB information; but it breaks when the dB information is present but incorrect, the number of devices by now should fit in a small blacklist (they have been fixed as they show up) | 08:07 |
| ohsix | micahg: i tried those new icedtea drops; didn't expect a change, and didn't get any :] | 08:13 |
| diwic | ohsix, hmm, maybe it should be considered for oneiric, if we ship oneiric with what's now in git master, and hopefully a release | 08:13 |

| DreadKnight | ohsix: heya; how to connect to eth0 using nmcli again? | 08:48 |
| ohsix | nmcli con list, nmcli con up id or uuid, if it's named "Auto eth0" nmcli con up id "Auto eth0" should work, iirc | 08:48 |
| Laney | what's all this "la_backup" stuff all over my filesystem? | 08:51 |
| DreadKnight | ohsix: thanks; not working; gotta reinstall I guess | 08:51 |
| ohsix | DreadKnight: if it is temporary you can use dhclient | 08:51 |
| DreadKnight | ohsix: oh that was it :D cheers again! | 08:52 |
| ohsix | DreadKnight: if you dont also have nm-applet running there might not be any connections unless you set them up with keyfile, or in system-connections; as i was explaining it to the guy it was a special case | 08:52 |
| ohsix | he had nm-applet running but no working mouse | 08:52 |
| ohsix | overlay scrollbars are neat, a bit hard to fish for with a mouse sometimes though, is there a simple way to disable it? | 08:59 |

| hrw | Daviey: ace was one of simplest ones. but it had longest build time | 10:27 |
| Daviey | hrw, The other thing i was going to say, it's a good idea to run 'update-maintainer' on the package if the version introduces a ubuntu delta. (ubuntu in the version of debian/changelog) | 10:28 |

| om26er | i get "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg" now system won't boot, this have happened the third time over the past month in Natty | 13:40 |
| ohsix | om26er: your initramfs is damaged, or isn't getting created properly | 13:41 |
| ohsix | this isn't a support channel though | 13:41 |
| om26er | but its a bug which have not fixed for more than a month so that makes it a concern ;( | 13:42 |
| om26er | and i didn't find any duplicate | 13:42 |
| om26er | should I try to update-initramfs in chroot? | 13:43 |
| ohsix | well, it hasn't been determined that its a bug yet | 13:43 |
| ohsix | sure, you can try; but chances are whatever broke it in the first place will do it again | 13:44 |
| om26er | ohsix, arand in #ubuntu+1 confims to have faced this issue with btrfs as well, so a bug ;) | 13:49 |
| cjwatson | the btrfs problem is specific to btrfs | 13:49 |
| ohsix | yes | 13:50 |
| cjwatson | if you aren't using btrfs then you have a different problem | 13:50 |
| om26er | my / is on btrfs cjwatson | 13:50 |
| ohsix | btrfs isn't running out of bugs either | 13:50 |
| cjwatson | then it's bug 732149 | 13:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 732149 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "[natty] btrfs "grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem"" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/732149 | 13:50 |
| cjwatson | (a consequence of it, anyway) | 13:51 |
| ohsix | hm | 13:51 |
| ohsix | how does it get to not building the initramfs, or is it just cuz grub can't find its files on btrfs | 13:51 |
| om26er | cjwatson, i saw the 732149 only when I had /boot on btrfs this time /boot is ext4 so I might havea different problem ? | 13:51 |
| cjwatson | ohsix: at least the cases I've seen aren't that the initramfs wasn't built, but that because grub-probe isn't able to understand btrfs properly it isn't emitting rootflags=subvol=@ | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | ohsix: and, yes, you could also have boot-time problems failing to find the file | 13:52 |
| ohsix | so it can't reach its file | 13:52 |
| ohsix | k thanks for the info | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | in general it seems to be a transient problem | 13:53 |
| cjwatson | which doesn't yet imply it's been fixed, but rather that the conditions that cause problems in grub's filesystem code seem to come and go | 13:53 |
| cjwatson | I've tried to gather information from affected people but it's been too hard to debug remotely; I need to reproduce it in a vm and debug locally | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | so it's gone into my queue of stuff like that | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | it's about third or fourth in that queue, I think | 13:54 |
| ohsix | can the grub test shell program thing use raw volumes? might be able to tease it from there | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | my ADSL is too slow for it to be feasible for me to fetch a whole filesystem | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | I have some likely candidates for ways to reproduce it | 13:55 |
| ohsix | ah i figured creating your own | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | once I have reproduced it, I am familiar with how to debug that kind of thing :) | 13:56 |
| ohsix | is grub out of sync as far as the disk format is concerned or is it stable enough that not finding the files would be a grub problem | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | I don't know the answer to that question | 13:56 |
| ohsix | hm | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | I expect I'll find that out | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | I don't think it's worth speculating in advance | 13:56 |
| ohsix | it shouldn't be too hard to check grub policy wrt it since it's still in flux, which is what i'm going to do | 13:57 |
| ohsix | it maeks sense for it to lag in the bootloader given the state of development, and there was an on disk format not too long ago, too; might have landed in .38 | 13:57 |
| cjwatson | the boot loader code was (necessarily) reverse-engineered from some docs | 13:58 |
| ohsix | drop an assertion bomb on the thing | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | as I say, I know how to debug grub once I've reproduced it locally | 13:59 |
| om26er | cjwatson, adding rootflags=subvol=@ to grub parameter worked :) thanks to arand | 13:59 |
| cjwatson | good | 14:00 |
| ohsix | arand was talking about snapshots too; but they were still speculating because theres not much info yet | 14:00 |
| hallyn | hm. has anyone tried to create a btrfs partition as part of the desktop installer process? | 14:01 |
| ohsix | probably the people with the problems they're having now | 14:01 |
| arand | I did mine using ubiquity yes, and it worked apart from these issues here.. | 14:01 |
| cjwatson | yes, and there are bug reports from some of those people | 14:01 |
| hallyn | oh, haha, i see, that was already on topic | 14:02 |
| hallyn | the partitioner went berzerk on me long before it even got to trying to install | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | that would probably be a different problem | 14:03 |
| hallyn | i'll file a new bug then, thanks | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | have you filed a bug? | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | ok | 14:03 |
| ohsix | sure is an odd way to poke at it; when it can all fail and take your stuff with it, i'd be using losetup and a disk file or something D: | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | we offer it in the installer in order that people can do system-level testing, which often isn't feasible with a loop mount | 14:04 |
| Laney | Is something wrong with the new procps? http://paste.debian.net/113289/ | 14:05 |
| ohsix | i understand that, but its a buzzword to some people right now, they might not know the implications | 14:05 |
| cjwatson | ohsix: can't help that | 14:07 |
| ohsix | i suppose not, hopefully people complain loudly though | 14:08 |
| cjwatson | we aren't going to get useful feedback if only experts ever use it | 14:08 |

| sense | stgraber: and that there are at least two people in #ubuntu+1 with the same problem. | 19:01 |
| stgraber | sense: -0ubuntu2 and -0ubuntu3 fix some divert issues so I'm not sure how that could be the cause (unles you're keeping an old divert for some reason) | 19:01 |
| sense | stgraber: Hmmm, that is strange. But the processes only started crashing after today's update. Could it have been something else that landed today? | 19:02 |
| stgraber | sense: can you check if /sbin/udevadm.upgrade exists on your system, if so, what's the content ? and also give the md5sum and (if text file) content of your /sbin/udevadm ? | 19:02 |

| bigcx2 | is there any way to skip this in the maintainer scripts? | 20:53 |
| broder | bigcx2: i don't know exactly what you're trying to do, but have you heard of config-package-dev? | 20:54 |
| bigcx2 | or does this have to be done with dpkg, apt-get options | 20:54 |
| broder | (http://debathena.mit.edu/config-packages/) | 20:54 |
| broder | it sounds like it does the sort of thing you're trying to do | 20:54 |
| bigcx2 | broder: thanks, looking :) | 20:56 |
| broder | bigcx2: the important piece is that you install your file to a path with a suffix, and then c-p-d handles creating a symlink from the real path to your suffix'd path | 20:56 |
| bigcx2 | so it essentially uses dpkg-divert and symlinking using cdbs? | 21:00 |
| bigcx2 | i don't see anything in there about user prompting | 21:00 |
| broder | bigcx2: you get that prompt if both the user and the package have changed the config file in question | 21:01 |
| bigcx2 | the user hasn't changed the conf file in my scenario | 21:02 |
| bigcx2 | basically my package pre-depends on a package that installs a conf file | 21:03 |
| bigcx2 | and then during preinst, i use dpkg-divert to move that file | 21:03 |
| bigcx2 | which works fine, but i get that prompt | 21:03 |
| broder | you get the prompt for the file you moved? | 21:04 |
| bigcx2 | with dpkg-divert, yea | 21:05 |
| bigcx2 | i use dh_install to install the file | 21:05 |
| bigcx2 | hmm | 21:06 |
| broder | bigcx2: hmm...i'm not sure exactly what's going on off the top of my head, and don't really have the time to debug, but i'd recommend trying config-package-dev anyway and seeing if your problem just goes away :) | 21:08 |
| bigcx2 | broder: lol, ok | 21:08 |
| Ampelbein | slangasek: hi, I have sent an email to ubuntu-devel about the multiarch libraries in universe. basically it is down to 3 packages needing a fix (libfsobasics, emerald and nbtk), 6 are to be removed in my opinion, 4 are waiting on libfsobasics rebuild and 1 should be synced from debian. | 21:44 |
| Ampelbein | slangasek: the 3 that need a fix are out of my knowledge, so I can't help further :-( | 21:45 |
| slangasek | Ampelbein: wow, great work! | 21:47 |
| seb128 | kees, hey | 21:48 |
| slangasek | Ampelbein: I don't know how to fix libfsobasics or nbtk either and I haven't looked at emerald... don't feel bad that you didn't fix them | 21:48 |
| kees | seb128: hi! | 21:50 |
| seb128 | kees, how are you? | 21:50 |
| seb128 | kees, I was just reading the tb meeting logs | 21:50 |
| kees | seb128: good! in a meeting at the moment, but can multitask :) | 21:50 |
| seb128 | kees, could you give specifics about your issues with the classic session? | 21:50 |
| Ampelbein | slangasek: thanks. | 21:51 |
| stgraber | SpamapS: I still can't reproduce the exact boot.log that you have, but I'm suspecting a race condition or something similar on my machine as I don't get the same content every reboot :) | 21:51 |
| seb128 | kees, the only changes we did over 10.10 was to replace the clock applet by its indicator equivalent by default and fix bugs | 21:52 |
| kees | seb128: oh, I have only personally encountered one issue (that I think you just fixed). the menu bar in the top panel was stealing the menus from apps | 21:52 |
| seb128 | kees, so I find your concerns about it surprising | 21:52 |
| kees | seb128: I've heard complaints about session-saving going away, but I think that's unrelated to unity integration | 21:52 |
| seb128 | kees, if anything we fixed a lot of bugs | 21:52 |
| seb128 | kees, right, that never worked correctly and leaded to lot of bugs where people get their session screwed | 21:53 |
| stgraber | SpamapS: would it be possible for you to send me a "dpkg -l" of your system just to make sure I'm not missing something ? | 21:53 |
| seb128 | kees, i.e empty desktop on login because required component get wrongly stored in the session and other similar issues | 21:53 |
| kees | seb128: well, my current concern is over the name. "Classic Gnome Desktop" is not what I get. I get "Classic Ubuntu Desktop". if it were "Classic Gnome", I wouldn't have the indicators, e.g. There _were_ gone earlier in Natty, but have since returned, which I think is a mislabelling of the session type. | 21:54 |
| seb128 | kees, since we don't have the ressources to fix the session saving we decided to turn if off to avoid misleading users to think it works | 21:54 |
| kees | seb128: yeah, I never used session saving, and I had brought it up incorrectly as an example. I don't know much about it. | 21:54 |
| slangasek | seb128: I think you and I have different definitions of "work correctly", fwiw; when I lose all of my open terminals, etc. when I logout (or experience an X or kernel crash), and nothing comes back at all for me, I don't consider that working correctly | 21:54 |
| seb128 | slangasek, session saving never worked correctly... | 21:55 |
| seb128 | slangasek, that's nothing new | 21:55 |
| slangasek | seb128: I've been meaning to raise this point on ubuntu-desktop and see what can be done to retain this functionality for those of us who expect it | 21:55 |
| slangasek | seb128: session saving used to work well enough that I didn't have to spend 20 minutes after a reboot putting my desktop back in order | 21:55 |
| seb128 | but rather than having it half working and screwing some users enough so they go no session or an empty desktop we just turned it off | 21:55 |
| seb128 | slangasek, it sort of work if you only have one session type, i.e GNOME | 21:57 |
| seb128 | slangasek, it really screw if you switch between GNOME2, gnome-shell or unity | 21:57 |
| slangasek | seb128: I'm willing to put some effort into fixing this for my use case, if someone can point me in the right direction | 21:57 |
| slangasek | seb128: right - I don't switch between these so that hasn't hit me yet :) | 21:57 |
| seb128 | slangasek, I think some people wanted to have a session at UDS | 21:57 |
| seb128 | but right now it screwed quite some users | 21:58 |
| slangasek | At the upcoming UDS? That won't solve the problems I'm experiencing | 21:58 |
| seb128 | right | 21:58 |
| slangasek | now, I can hack gnome-session locally to reenable saving, but that won't help other users either | 21:58 |
| seb128 | do you have a better suggestion? | 21:58 |
| mdeslaur | I don't think having a blacklist of applications the session saver shouldn't be saving is a hard thing to implement | 21:58 |
| slangasek | seb128: no concrete suggestion yet... let's take this to the list where we can discuss it better. For now, I just want to make it known that I'm available to hack on this :) | 21:59 |
| seb128 | mdeslaur, didrocks did like 5 iterations of patches, it's not designed to handle different sessions like GNOME and unity | 21:59 |
| seb128 | or GNOME2 and gnome-shell | 21:59 |
| seb128 | slangasek, ok thanks | 21:59 |
| mdeslaur | seb128: oh, interesting...did those patches get uploaded, or were they private? | 21:59 |
| mdeslaur | (I mean, in a ppa) | 21:59 |
| seb128 | mdeslaur, they landed in 10.10 and natty | 22:00 |
| seb128 | but we kept getting new bugs and broken cases | 22:00 |
| seb128 | we decided at the rally to stop wasting time on that | 22:00 |
| mdeslaur | seb128: ok, cool thanks | 22:00 |
| seb128 | it was getting time consuming in debugging users and patching over what we estimated was worth it | 22:00 |
| seb128 | nobody raised concerns until now either | 22:01 |
| seb128 | but it's a bit late in the cycle now | 22:01 |
| slangasek | seb128: but speaking of me sticking my fingers into the desktop, I have made no progress on this gio issue :( One possibility is if some other code is calling g_io_modules_load_all_in_directory("/usr/lib/gio/modules") and missing the multiarch dir, but I haven't found where this code would be | 22:01 |
| mdeslaur | seb128: that's usually how it works :) | 22:01 |
| tjaalton | for me, getting terminals and browser windows in the right positions (and workspaces) is/was important | 22:01 |
| seb128 | slangasek, hum ok, what about just moving back the bamf .so back to the old dir for natty? | 22:02 |
| seb128 | getting things on the right workspace and position never worked fine or only on some applications | 22:02 |
| seb128 | you better do it the pitti way and write a script using devilspie or something to do that at login for you | 22:03 |
| tjaalton | okay | 22:03 |
| seb128 | geometry and position storing is not really something the session has a status on | 22:03 |
| slangasek | seb128: fwiw, I didn't raise this concern earlier because I wasn't running natty on my laptop until beta, and the discussion of this change happened only on ubuntu-desktop whose list description is "Desktop Team co-ordination and discussion" so I've never realized I should subscribe there to find out about changes like this... for my part, I would appreciate it if such changes were communicated to ubuntu-devel to get a wider audience, bu | 22:03 |
| seb128 | it relies on applications to handle it themself which most don't | 22:03 |
| slangasek | ... meantime I'll subscribe to ubuntu-desktop :) | 22:03 |
| tjaalton | don't know if it's firefox that tries to move the windows to where they were, but they all end up in the first workspace | 22:04 |
| tjaalton | maybe it's just a firefox regression, or compiz, or both | 22:04 |
| slangasek | seb128: yes, we can move bamf.so back to the old dir - I still would like to understand the cause of the bug however, since glib-networking also uses that directory | 22:04 |
| seb128 | slangasek, to be honest nobody in the desktop team consider it as something working or clearly available to user, like it was not on the logout dialog but hidden in a tab of a configuration capplet | 22:04 |
| seb128 | considered | 22:05 |
| seb128 | when we discussed it | 22:05 |
| seb128 | so we didn't think it was worth bringing on the devel list | 22:05 |
| seb128 | but seems we were wrong | 22:05 |
| seb128 | sorry about that | 22:05 |
| slangasek | ah, but if you got bug reports, doesn't that mean people had found that toggle and were using it? :-D | 22:05 |
| Sarvatt_ | would be nice if we could at least pick the default session type in the installer since enabling automatic login forces unity | 22:05 |
| seb128 | right, most not of them not understanding what is was doing and getting very confused | 22:06 |
| slangasek | but no worries - I'll just see what we can do to fix it for release | 22:06 |
| seb128 | there is also no way to get back to a clean session once you pressed the button | 22:06 |
| seb128 | which confused a lot of users as well | 22:06 |
| seb128 | like they did a snapshot of a session but clicking there and had it stored until someone on a bug report explained them how to reset it | 22:06 |
| seb128 | Sarvatt_, you can select it in gdmsetup or logout and pick a different session and log in again | 22:07 |
| seb128 | ups | 22:08 |
| YokoZar | 3 cheers for seb128 on the gnome-panel change :) | 22:11 |
| j1mc | hi all - i had a couple of basic questions about unity that i think are appropriate for here. i basically wanted to get the unity component names right. | 22:16 |
| j1mc | - is there an official name for the 'ubuntu button' in the upper-left portion of the screen? | 22:16 |
| j1mc | - is the launcher on the left-hand side called 'the launcher,' or is there a different name for it? | 22:17 |
| chrisccoulson | j1mc, this might be appropriate for you - http://askubuntu.com/questions/10228/whats-the-right-terminology-for-unitys-ui-elements | 22:17 |
| chrisccoulson | :) | 22:17 |
| chrisccoulson | i think that answers your questions | 22:17 |
| j1mc | - the menus in the top panel, are they collectively called 'application indicators?' | 22:17 |
| j1mc | chrisccoulson: thanks - i'll have a look at them. | 22:18 |
