[02:12] lamont: can you file a bug ? [02:12] lifeless: I will do so, and then I'll fix it. [02:12] \o/ [02:12] I may even fix it harder [02:19] wgrant: would it be a lot of trouble to add the package sets to the FTBFS list for the latest archive rebuild?

[07:26] sec lemme check the origin [07:26] it's in universe/sound [07:26] oss4-base and some other packages with oss4 in the name [07:28] it's useful for the guy that knows why he's using it instead of just getting it dropped in his lap as some solution from some fan; but the former doesn't likely happen often [07:58] good morning [08:07] 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) [08:13] micahg: i tried those new icedtea drops; didn't expect a change, and didn't get any :] [08:13] ohsix, hmm, maybe it should be considered for oneiric, if we ship oneiric with what's now in git master, and hopefully a release [08:14] good morning [08:14] morning dholbach [08:14] diwic: i'm gonna see about some of those cosmetic/trival patches getting applied upstream too [08:14] hey diwic [08:14] ohsix, you mean those we carry in Ubuntu currently? That'd be great [08:15] yea, i just read them to verify something else and most look easily transplantable [08:17] stgraber: looks fine to me === smb` is now known as smb === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [08:32] diwic: do you know of a bug i can use as an example when putting in a request that flat-volumes be changed [08:32] ohsix, not in my head, search for flat volumes on launchpad [08:33] ok i will look at those, i was more interested in seeing the general process [08:48] ohsix: heya; how to connect to eth0 using nmcli again? [08:48] nmcli con list, nmcli con up id or uuid, if it's named "Auto eth0" nmcli con up id "Auto eth0" should work, iirc [08:51] what's all this "la_backup" stuff all over my filesystem? [08:51] ohsix: thanks; not working; gotta reinstall I guess [08:51] DreadKnight: if it is temporary you can use dhclient [08:52] ohsix: oh that was it :D cheers again! [08:52] 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] he had nm-applet running but no working mouse [08:59] overlay scrollbars are neat, a bit hard to fish for with a mouse sometimes though, is there a simple way to disable it? [09:01] ohsix: they're default now or what?

[09:28] yes [09:28] Laney: after which freeze it cannot be synced? [09:29] m4n1sh: it can always be synced, but it's less likely to be the option you want, the closer we get to releases. After feature freeze, we only really want bug fixes, not new features [09:29] tumbleweed: it is not present as default installation [09:30] and we have tested it extensivly [09:30] from PPA [09:30] m4n1sh: you still need to request an FFe if you want to bring a version with new features in [09:30] you can always request a sync, but when it gets really close to release (like after the RC) it might be an idea to ping the release team too [09:30] but if you show extensive testing, you'll probably get it [09:32] tumbleweed: its a new version [09:32] with some minor small features [09:33] UI enhancements [09:33] Laney: where can I find release team?

[10:27] heh.. good to see them getting fixed. [10:27] Daviey: ace was one of simplest ones. but it had longest build time [10:28] 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.

Try passing init= bootarg" now system won't boot, this have happened the third time over the past month in Natty [13:41] om26er: your initramfs is damaged, or isn't getting created properly [13:41] this isn't a support channel though [13:42] but its a bug which have not fixed for more than a month so that makes it a concern ;( [13:42] and i didn't find any duplicate [13:43] should I try to update-initramfs in chroot? [13:43] well, it hasn't been determined that its a bug yet [13:44] sure, you can try; but chances are whatever broke it in the first place will do it again [13:49] ohsix, arand in #ubuntu+1 confims to have faced this issue with btrfs as well, so a bug ;) [13:49] the btrfs problem is specific to btrfs [13:50] yes [13:50] if you aren't using btrfs then you have a different problem [13:50] my / is on btrfs cjwatson [13:50] btrfs isn't running out of bugs either [13:50] then it's bug 732149 [13:50] Launchpad bug 732149 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "[natty] btrfs "grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem"" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/732149 [13:51] (a consequence of it, anyway) [13:51] hm [13:51] how does it get to not building the initramfs, or is it just cuz grub can't find its files on btrfs [13:51] cjwatson, i saw the 732149 only when I had /boot on btrfs this time /boot is ext4 so I might havea different problem ? [13:52] 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] ohsix: and, yes, you could also have boot-time problems failing to find the file [13:52] so it can't reach its file [13:52] k thanks for the info [13:53] in general it seems to be a transient problem [13:53] 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 [13:54] 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] so it's gone into my queue of stuff like that [13:54] it's about third or fourth in that queue, I think [13:54] can the grub test shell program thing use raw volumes? might be able to tease it from there [13:55] my ADSL is too slow for it to be feasible for me to fetch a whole filesystem [13:55] I have some likely candidates for ways to reproduce it [13:55] ah i figured creating your own [13:56] once I have reproduced it, I am familiar with how to debug that kind of thing :) [13:56] 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] I don't know the answer to that question [13:56] hm [13:56] I expect I'll find that out [13:56] I don't think it's worth speculating in advance [13:57] 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] 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 [13:58] the boot loader code was (necessarily) reverse-engineered from some docs [13:58] drop an assertion bomb on the thing [13:59] as I say, I know how to debug grub once I've reproduced it locally [13:59] cjwatson, adding rootflags=subvol=@ to grub parameter worked :) thanks to arand [14:00] good [14:00] arand was talking about snapshots too; but they were still speculating because theres not much info yet [14:01] hm. has anyone tried to create a btrfs partition as part of the desktop installer process? [14:01] probably the people with the problems they're having now [14:01] I did mine using ubiquity yes, and it worked apart from these issues here.. [14:01] yes, and there are bug reports from some of those people [14:02] oh, haha, i see, that was already on topic [14:02] the partitioner went berzerk on me long before it even got to trying to install [14:03] that would probably be a different problem [14:03] i'll file a new bug then, thanks [14:03] have you filed a bug? [14:03] ok [14:03] 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: [14:04] we offer it in the installer in order that people can do system-level testing, which often isn't feasible with a loop mount [14:05] Is something wrong with the new procps? http://paste.debian.net/113289/ [14:05] i understand that, but its a buzzword to some people right now, they might not know the implications [14:07] ohsix: can't help that [14:08] i suppose not, hopefully people complain loudly though [14:08] we aren't going to get useful feedback if only experts ever use it [14:08] nod [14:08] when the time comes it'll be awesome for ubuiquitous snapshotting and backups [14:10] @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: dholbach [14:10] ohsix: Using apt-btrfs-snapshot has a tendency to eat some disk space though...

I have the window buttons in this terminal. I have no Ubuntu logo in the upper left of the screen, but it does say 'Terminal' in the upper left, over where the logo should be [16:00] didrocks: if I go full screen for the terminal, they show up in the global menu [16:00] jdstrand: do you have one or two monitor?

[19:01] 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) [19:02] 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] thanks for your help [19:03] version 167 landed on Monday (new upstream version), -0ubuntu2 landed on the same day (divert fixes) and then I uploaded another today to fix issues when someone has an half-upgraded udev package and upgrade to -0ubuntu2 [19:04] It's not impossible that -0ubuntu2 or -0ubuntu3 might break udev but let's say if it's a feature issue, it's more likely that -0ubuntu1 did it [19:04] That would make more sense indeed.

[19:10] gremlins. [19:10] sense: can you do: grep udev /var/lib/dpkg/diversions ? [19:10] stgraber: branding-ubuntu also got updated todya, but the new version fails during installation. [19:10] sense: and also make sure the package is in a clean state (ii) [19:11] that aborts the whole thing and for me it crashed aptd [19:11] sense: ouch, yeah, that'd be really bad for udev [19:11] as in, computer won't reboot [19:11] sense: can you run: "dpkg -l | grep udev" to confirm ?

[19:15] stgraber: The branding package is still ii, with 0.5 installed, but 0.6 is causing the problems during upgrade, which prevent it from being installed. [19:15] Just got confirmation from one of the other persons with the same problem that he also had branding-ubuntu making aptd crash during update.

[20:54] bigcx2: i don't know exactly what you're trying to do, but have you heard of config-package-dev? [20:54] or does this have to be done with dpkg, apt-get options [20:54] (http://debathena.mit.edu/config-packages/) [20:54] it sounds like it does the sort of thing you're trying to do [20:56] broder: thanks, looking :) [20:56] 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 [21:00] so it essentially uses dpkg-divert and symlinking using cdbs? [21:00] i don't see anything in there about user prompting [21:01] bigcx2: you get that prompt if both the user and the package have changed the config file in question [21:02] the user hasn't changed the conf file in my scenario [21:03] basically my package pre-depends on a package that installs a conf file [21:03] and then during preinst, i use dpkg-divert to move that file [21:03] which works fine, but i get that prompt [21:04] you get the prompt for the file you moved? [21:05] with dpkg-divert, yea [21:05] i use dh_install to install the file [21:06] hmm [21:08] 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] broder: lol, ok [21:44] 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. [21:45] slangasek: the 3 that need a fix are out of my knowledge, so I can't help further :-( [21:47] Ampelbein: wow, great work! [21:48] kees, hey [21:48] 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 [21:50] seb128: hi! [21:50] kees, how are you? [21:50] kees, I was just reading the tb meeting logs [21:50] seb128: good! in a meeting at the moment, but can multitask :) [21:50] kees, could you give specifics about your issues with the classic session? [21:51] slangasek: thanks. [21:51] 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 :) [21:52] 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] 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] kees, so I find your concerns about it surprising [21:52] seb128: I've heard complaints about session-saving going away, but I think that's unrelated to unity integration [21:52] kees, if anything we fixed a lot of bugs [21:53] kees, right, that never worked correctly and leaded to lot of bugs where people get their session screwed [21:53] 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] kees, i.e empty desktop on login because required component get wrongly stored in the session and other similar issues [21:54] 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] 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] 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] 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 [21:55] slangasek, session saving never worked correctly... [21:55] slangasek, that's nothing new [21:55] 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] 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] 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 [21:57] slangasek, it sort of work if you only have one session type, i.e GNOME [21:57] slangasek, it really screw if you switch between GNOME2, gnome-shell or unity [21:57] 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] seb128: right - I don't switch between these so that hasn't hit me yet :) [21:57] slangasek, I think some people wanted to have a session at UDS [21:58] but right now it screwed quite some users [21:58] At the upcoming UDS? That won't solve the problems I'm experiencing [21:58] right [21:58] now, I can hack gnome-session locally to reenable saving, but that won't help other users either [21:58] do you have a better suggestion? [21:58] I don't think having a blacklist of applications the session saver shouldn't be saving is a hard thing to implement [21:59] 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] mdeslaur, didrocks did like 5 iterations of patches, it's not designed to handle different sessions like GNOME and unity [21:59] or GNOME2 and gnome-shell [21:59] slangasek, ok thanks [21:59] seb128: oh, interesting...did those patches get uploaded, or were they private? [21:59] (I mean, in a ppa) [22:00] mdeslaur, they landed in 10.10 and natty [22:00] but we kept getting new bugs and broken cases [22:00] we decided at the rally to stop wasting time on that [22:00] seb128: ok, cool thanks [22:00] it was getting time consuming in debugging users and patching over what we estimated was worth it [22:01] nobody raised concerns until now either [22:01] but it's a bit late in the cycle now [22:01] 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] seb128: that's usually how it works :) [22:01] for me, getting terminals and browser windows in the right positions (and workspaces) is/was important [22:02] slangasek, hum ok, what about just moving back the bamf .so back to the old dir for natty? [22:02] getting things on the right workspace and position never worked fine or only on some applications [22:03] you better do it the pitti way and write a script using devilspie or something to do that at login for you [22:03] okay [22:03] geometry and position storing is not really something the session has a status on [22:03] 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] it relies on applications to handle it themself which most don't [22:03] ... meantime I'll subscribe to ubuntu-desktop :) [22:04] 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] maybe it's just a firefox regression, or compiz, or both [22:04] 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] 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 [22:05] considered [22:05] when we discussed it [22:05] so we didn't think it was worth bringing on the devel list [22:05] but seems we were wrong [22:05] sorry about that [22:05] ah, but if you got bug reports, doesn't that mean people had found that toggle and were using it? :-D [22:05] would be nice if we could at least pick the default session type in the installer since enabling automatic login forces unity [22:06] right, most not of them not understanding what is was doing and getting very confused [22:06] but no worries - I'll just see what we can do to fix it for release [22:06] there is also no way to get back to a clean session once you pressed the button [22:06] which confused a lot of users as well [22:06] 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 [22:07] Sarvatt_, you can select it in gdmsetup or logout and pick a different session and log in again [22:08] ups [22:11] 3 cheers for seb128 on the gnome-panel change :) [22:16] 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] - is there an official name for the 'ubuntu button' in the upper-left portion of the screen? [22:17] - is the launcher on the left-hand side called 'the launcher,' or is there a different name for it? [22:17] j1mc, this might be appropriate for you - http://askubuntu.com/questions/10228/whats-the-right-terminology-for-unitys-ui-elements [22:17] :) [22:17] i think that answers your questions [22:17] - the menus in the top panel, are they collectively called 'application indicators?'
