ohsixhah why does the copy dialogue notification icon just have a mouse cursor on it00:03
ohsixit used to be a file cabinet00:03
kklimondathe problem with this transmission patch is that it would restore a functionality that upstream doesn't want in this form.00:28
kklimondaI'm reluctant to restore functionality removed by upstream, as imo it's not our call what they want to do with their software. This particular issue has been discussed in the upstream tracker to death, there is a workaround, and the better proxy support will come soon..00:29
kklimondaohsix: I think I've lost your email in the pile of emails to reply to.. I can't find it right now, but I do remember reading it.00:30
kklimondaohsix: there are more problems with the patch, we are 9 days before release and the patch would break user interface freeze, and there are no longer translations shipped in the package (I wonder if they are available in the language packs)00:32
ohsixkklimonda: yea i tried to speak with them about what form is acceptable, they weren't having it00:34
ohsixit's just "WE DONT WANT IT", caps usesd for emphasis and to cover the frankly obscene interaction i had with them00:35
kklimondaohsix: that's because the decision how to bring proxy support back has been made.00:35
kklimondathe idea is to use system-wide settings00:36
ohsixkklimonda: i've discussed that with them as well; torrent clients are in a unique position that ptoxy options will probably differ between the different types of connections they make; you really need private settings00:36
kklimondathe problem is this solution doesn't make everyone happy.00:36
ohsixthe problem was proxy support didn't suit everyone in the first place, so they removed it alltogether00:36
ohsixthey really seemed to invite public input but they aren'ty, they're moderating trac comments and the like00:37
kklimondahave you given good and legal reasons for not wanting to use system-wide proxy settings? afair at no point did anyone give a reason for private proxy settings that didn't involve vague words like "privacy"00:37
ohsixkklimonda: i couldn't find the "to death"00:37
ohsixyes, and i told them00:37
ohsixi can provide the entire irc log if you wish00:38
ohsixbut the long short of it is i use it to scrape/announce trackers as if i were at home; while i roam with  my laptop00:38
ohsix(ssh -D to home ... etc)00:38
ohsixi know about people saying they want privacy and thinking thats what they get, and about the protocol itself; frankly all of it00:39
kklimondano need, I have the logs.00:39
kklimondabut really, what are the reasons anyone would want a privacy?00:39
ohsixok, i hope you'll see that i was perfectly frank in my intentions and polite to no end00:39
ohsixno clue; i don't want or need for privacy or i wouldn't be using a torrent client00:40
ohsixmy very narrow case is having a socks proxy to home, so it looks like the scrapews/announces are from there00:40
ohsixyou can probably see that having global options when that's all i want is untenable00:40

=== udevbot changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Beta-2 released | Archive: final 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:
kklimondareally, from where I stand the issue is rather simple - some people want to use private trackers, and T devs knowing what is being shared there don't give much thought about it.00:42
ohsixthe discussion was far from exaustive, at least the things archived in trac tickets00:42
ohsixso you mean they have made a moral judgement  with regard to the usage, expecially concerned with proxy support?00:43
kklimondaI can't speak for them, but that's how I see the whole issue.00:44
ohsixafter all the software can be used to pirate things, just like the proxy support can be used in ways they don't like; but they don't remove the torrent downloading ability00:44
ohsixit's getting very tough to type, on 3g at the moment00:44
ohsixso is my use case unlike the concerns you've heard aired before?00:45
kklimondaI'd have to read your discussion with jordan to really comment on this particular case.00:45
ohsixi could certainly use a voice other than my own, apparently, to get my concerns aired00:46
kklimondabut my main issue with reintroducing proxy support doesn't have anything to do with whether I agree with their judgment, or not.00:47
ohsixbtwe, notwithstanding; current "global" support doesn't work with socks, though jordan pointed out where it would need to be fixed AND he didn't disapprove my ttrac ticket like they've been doing with my comments on trac tickets00:47
kklimondaas I see it there are three problems: It's really late in the cycle to reintroduce this patch given that it adds the new interface, and requires translations. I don't know if those translations are still being shipped, or not.00:47
kklimondaWe, as maintainers, shouldn't really make calls about whether some changes made by upstream are good or bad.00:48
ohsixso i have to setup privoxy to forward http to socks (ssh -D) and only for certain hosts, since i don't want to send my web traffic through the same proxy00:48
kklimonda(can't think of the third point, as it's getting late)00:48
ohsixi get that, and don't expect you to do much more than comment; at best speak for my concerns since nobody is listening00:49
kklimondajordan did acknowledge that he has handled the removal of proxy badly.00:49
ohsixi have to say it's the worst treatment i've _ever_ gotten trying to work with another project00:50
ohsixmy beef is that they invited public discussion but didn't really mean it00:50
kklimondabut it's his decision, him being the lead developer, how he'd like to handle it further.00:50
kklimondathem moderating trac most likely have nothing to do with moderating the discussion.00:50
ohsix(re: censoring trac tickets and the treatment of people politely airing their concerns)00:51
kklimondamoderation has been enabled some time ago for other reasons00:51
ohsixwell if my comments show up; i'll let you know, they were quite specific and only on one bug00:51
ohsixi can't impress upon you how rudely i was treated, that i'm being moderated on trac is not far fetched00:51
ohsixas i said during that conversation, i'm being romantic about switching away from transmission; i should just do it if it no longer suits, but i'm having a very hard time doing so, it is the most usable client00:52
ohsixit's really a shame they only have forums, trac, and irc; i couldn't find any public discussion outside of those trac tickets00:54
ohsixi offered to completely own the feature and implement it in a shape and form they could agree with it00:55
ohsixobsequiousness is a word roused in the mind about the situation00:56
kklimondahmm, no - from what I have read jordan has given you hand in implementing socks support in the current code (which takes socks configuration from gnome proxy settings)00:57
ohsixkklimonda: thanks for your time, like i said; maybe you can speak for the use-case, i've been dismissed and thrown into the memory hole00:57
ohsixas i've explained that isn't useful to me00:57
kklimondabut you were pressing the issue of restoring the original private proxy support, and you were told over and over that it's not going back00:57
ohsixprivoxy is going to nee dto be in the middle even if socks support worked00:57
kklimondaand then the entire discussion went south.00:58
ohsixi don't want all my web traffic to go through my home connection; it is heavily metered00:58
ohsixonly "original" insofar as not using the global settings, i don't care what the ui looked like; and was willing to own it00:58
kklimondabut it's not a matter of how gui looks like, they are just not interested in the private proxy support.00:59
ohsixhe would not be forthwright in telling me what was wrong with it; he was not being intellectually honest, it was his choice of course, but00:59
ohsixi have to stop using the best torrent client available because of that00:59
ohsixi hope you understand that i don't want that01:00
ohsixi don't care if it's only available by edfiting settings.json directly; or anything01:00
ohsixyou cant get tsocks to pick one port to forward either; so you can't use it01:00
ohsixtorrent clients are in a unique situation, one where having different proxies for different types of connection the client makes is desirable01:01
ohsixthat can only be supported in the client itself; as it's the only one that makes any real discrimination01:01
ohsixi couldn't get him to explain why it was there at all if it didn't please them now, either; he didn't have to of course, but i kept grasping at connections i could make and still treat him as a reasonable person01:03
kklimondamany features are being added because it seems to be a good idea at the time.01:03
ohsixright01:04
ohsixi'm not asking for exaustive proxy support like some people were either; just what was there01:04
ohsixkklimonda: do you at least accept the premise that torrent clients are unique with the respect to how they connect? i can't think of anything that uses several connection types in one program that you'd desire proxying01:07
ohsixit's an exceptional scenario for sure01:08
ohsixwhat really blows my mind is the global proxy support still only uses it for scrapes/announces; which doesn't account for the most requested option to be added, the stuff that probably prompted its entire removal in ffrustration01:10
ohsixi get your position as maintainer; but it'd be nice to have another person speak for my use case, since i'm appaarently not leet enough to do so01:11
lifelessohsix: how are torrent clients unique?01:11
kklimondaohsix: I accept that some people don't want to have their torrent activity tracked to themselves.01:12
=== sconklin is now known as sconklin-gone
ohsixlifeless: unique in the sense that it can be desirous to have different proxying options for only certain types of connections they make01:12
ohsixkklimonda: no, that's exactly what i want01:12
lifelessohsix: like voip clients, lots of fps games and web browsers?01:12
ohsixkklimonda: just like i ssh'd in here on my laptop, with my phone; to use the resources i have at home01:13
ohsixi roam a lot and i want it to scrape/announce from my home connection01:14
ohsixi know the implications, and i also know you can't tell transmission to use your local ip for scrapes like you can for some other clients, but i still desire to scrape/announce from home01:15
ohsixand i still desire to use transmission D:01:15
kklimondachange trackers that you use - binding ratio to ip is a retarded idea.01:15
ohsixthere are no ratios involved my friend01:16
kklimondawhat's the point then?01:16
kklimondaI'm really curious01:16
ohsixi'm thinking you are implying some things in our conversation that just aren't the case01:16
kklimondawell, not really. I just know only of two reasons to use proxy for tracker communication.01:17
ohsixi'll tel you privately if you really wish to know01:17
kklimondaneither of them really imply anything.01:17
ohsixi told you my reason; you fit it into some preconcieved notion01:17
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
ohsixi don't know of any trackers that use your ip to track ratios, either; but lets not digress01:18
ohsixi get the sense that i'm sort of being dismissed again; since you assume i'm making the case for something you've seen made before, with respect to "privacy" or whatever01:18
ohsixbut at least you're being very honest about your concerns, and out in the open01:19
kklimondaI'm not dismissing you, I understand your concerns, and I'm aware of the entire issue.01:19
ohsixbut you misconstrue my intent to announce/scrape from my home computer as something else; you even mentioned ratios01:20
ohsixas i say that though, i get how you might01:20
ohsixbut i'm literally only connectiong home, not to some 3rd party shell or "vpn" provider, and only so it scrapes from home01:20
kklimondait's just that I have a feeling that we are going in circles.01:20
kklimondaAll I'm saying is that the removal of feature is upstream developers' decision.01:21
ohsixi got that01:21
kklimondaI've even tried to give you my point of view on why has they made this particular choice.01:21
ohsixmy use case is valid for me, and i will have to use another client, i do not want to; as it's the most usable client packaged in ubuntu; my dillema is that i'm being irrational about just switching01:21
ohsixand i'm asking you to voice my concern, since i tried and failed01:23
ohsixlet me message you and tell you why i do it01:23

steveireHi, I'm trying to learn packaging. I've got the source of grantlee, and I've got the newer source tarball from http://downloads.grantlee.org/07:55
steveire(I'm the grantlee upsteam)07:55
steveireWhat's my next step?07:55
broderhmm...what makes plymouth actually show the splash on shutdown? on bootup, it's the plymouth-splash job, but none of the conditions there will trigger on shutdown07:57
broderoh, wait - just noticed the post-start script. bah07:57
SpamapSbroder: shutdown is all sysv07:57
diwicsteveire, unfortunately there are several ways of doing packaging and how to easiest update to a new upstream version depends on how it is currently packaged07:57
SpamapSsteveire: there's a new tool thats somewhat experimental, called pkgme, that may help07:58
SpamapSsteveire: what language is grantlee in?07:58
broderSpamapS: i think i'm seeing a race between the plymouth upstart job and the casper sysv init script on shutdown. does that seem plausible to you?07:58
steveireC++/Qt07:58
SpamapSbroder: yes its always a possibility07:58
steveirediwic: How do I find out whihc it is?07:59
broderSpamapS: yeah, i think a race there is consistent with what i'm seeing. i guess this puts me in support of your plans to upstart-ify the shutdown for O :)08:00
diwicsteveire, from looking at debian/rules we can see that it uses cdbs08:00
SpamapSbroder: plymouth is  start on stopped gdm08:00
broderyeah, and gdm is stop on runlevel [016]08:00
SpamapSbroder: if you need to make sure you run before plymouth 'start on starting plymouth' works08:01
dholbachgood morning08:01
diwicsteveire, and from debian/source/format we can see that this is a quilt patch system08:02
steveireOk08:02
broderSpamapS: plymouth looks at the $RUNLEVEL variable it inherits from the runlevel event. will my job get that variable as well?08:02
steveireSo do I need to set up pbuilder?08:04
diwicsteveire, that is helpful for checking that your package does not need more dependencies than you actually state in the control file08:04
diwicsteveire, or for compiling for another version than you're currently running08:05
SpamapSbroder: only if plymouth exports it08:08
diwicsteveire, I'm realizing I'm not very helpful to you because I'm not sure what the easiest way of updating a 3.0 quilt package is, sorry08:08
SpamapSbroder: so, in short, no. You could fake it tho..   start on runlevel [016] and stopped gdm08:08
broderwell, if i wanted it to be strictly after plymouth, i'd do runlevel [016] and started plymouth, right?08:09
broderor is that going to get in the way of plymouth starting at boot? start on clauses with "and" still trip me up...08:10

pittidpm: I think we usually get one Friday, don't we?08:33
pittiI'll try to kick it off earlier than Monday, but no promises due to holidays08:33
dpmpitti, we get an export on Thursday 14:00 UTC, which we could use -> https://dev.launchpad.net/Translations/LanguagePackSchedule. I remember we changed it so it aligned better to the deadline. If that works for you, we could use that. If not, we can just ask the LP guys to set up a one-off export on Friday.08:36

pittidpm: so yesterday's is already done, and I could request a full export now?08:37
pittihm, I don't see one for Apr 19, though08:37
dpmpitti, it might take longer to be generated. But yeah, that's strange, especially because delta exports appear earlier in the day than full ones. But I think if you request it now it should be fine. AFAIK, the exports are simply on a cron job, and requesting the full export now would not interfere with the previous delta one, which was already triggered yesterday08:41
pittidpm: right, as long as it's already runnning it should be okay08:46

speakmanA few days ago I asked how to maintain the debian/ dir in my own source, and then I was suggested to keep it in a separate branch. But in the mean time, why can't the debian dir be part of the project? The one could use debian/changelog for the projects own changelog? Ideas?09:56
pittispeakman: some projects do, but at least I find it highly inconvenient09:59
pittiand apparently others as well, the current dpkg source format even allows stripping the upstream debian/ dir09:59
pittiso that it doesn't get in the way of the real debian/ dir from the distro09:59
pittiit's also inconvenient for upstream, as it will constantly be out of date, not match anythign real in debian/ubuntu, and over time you'll accumulate spec files, debian/ dirs, ebuild recipes, and what not10:00
smbabhinav-, The change itself look reasonable. though for ubuntu merge the code change should be done by a patch in debian/patches, not directly10:01
speakmanpitti: thanks alot for your comments! But what if I _am_ upstream and the deb maintainer as well?10:05

pittiIMHO packaging stuff doesn't belong into upstream tarballs/VCSes, but that might just be me10:07
pitti(main reason: it's the wrong level to have it, as upstream releases are not tied to a particular distro and release)10:07
speakmanpitti: Fair enough! But since this will be just my own private project shared with only a few mates, I think I make the exception and manage the debian/ dir within it's source tree :)10:09
pittispeakman: sure :) you can always drop it again if the project becomes more popular and it gets in the way10:10
abhinav-smb: alright thanks for the review :) . But I think the bug is not Ubuntu specific, so it should be merged directly. perhaps we should wait for it to come from upstream ?10:11

speakmanpitti: you're absolutely right :) thanks alot!10:11
pittiabhinav-: it should still be a separate patch; directly modifying the upstream source is both hard to maintain and also hard to see what actually changed10:12
speakmanBy the way - is there some good documentation about managing a patchset within the debian/ dir? If I'm not the upstream owner, that is. :)10:13

steveireBut what is the '4:' about?10:42
mdzanyone else seeing syndaemon spin on the CPU?10:45
directhexsteveire, it's called an epoch. it bumps the version number up ahead of 3: and 2: and 1: and 0:10:45
directhexwhere no epoch at all is the same as 0:10:46
directhexusually you use an epoch when you mess up & want to go down a version number, permanently10:46

smoseryes. and upstream is considering adding that function.14:49

praveen_please have a look here--http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=173340215:56

SpamapSjamespage: what about #ifdef ?16:32
jamespageSpamapS: within the patch itself? that was my thinking on option #3 - rework the patch using #ifdef16:33
SpamapSjamespage: I haven't looked at the patch. Would that be super difficult?16:34
apwmdz no worries16:34
jamespageSpamapS: do-able if a little fiddly16:36
jamespagesome of the patch is already written this way - it might not take to long to sort out the rest of it.16:37

apwmdz hmmm, well i feel we don't even know if the GPU is hung16:52
apwwhen it gets into this state, knowing that would be helpful as well i think16:52

hallynDaviey: all right, so again - for packages in universe (vmbuilder), I can just dput now?  Either release team will have to look at it and approve (or deny - I can take rejection), or it'll go through with no problems, but no reason for me not to dput?17:03
mdzapw, how can I check?17:05
mdzsysfs?17:05
mdzapw, /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state shows "no error state collected"17:05
mdzso does .../64/i915_no_error_state (is it normal to have two?)17:05
apwwhat does /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_gem_seqno say17:06
mdzapw, in both i915_gem_seqnos, "current sequence (render ring)" and "IRQ sequence (render ring)" are incrementing, and everything else is zero17:07
apwok so that says to me that things are continuing normally, that things are being displayed17:07

brycehto save you guys a little work...  I investigated a lot of the (apparent) dupes of this issue yesterday.  I've had other folks test some various theories, but I *think* the issue is just lack of kernel support for Ironlake/Arrandale17:35

mdztseliot, bingo17:35
tseliotmdz: :)17:35
mdztseliot, I've attached the monitors.xml to the bug17:36
* tseliot has a look17:36
tseliotmdz: maybe one of the resolutions listed there caused the problem (probably 1920x1200 for VGA1)17:39
tseliotmdz: it's still weird though17:40
mdztseliot, I think it has to do with having the laptop display switched off17:42
mdzshe says that she does that normally17:42
tseliotmdz: the display app remembers the last settings and loads them when the session starts. So yes, it can be that17:45
brycehmdz, tseliot, right, from what I've seen in other bug reports, it happens on modesetting changes, but it varies from person to person17:45
brycehthere are a variety of ironlake/arrandale patches proposed at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2011-April/thread.html#10071 but not yet upstream, including several changes to ironlake's modesetting functionality17:45
brycehso I think the next step for this bug is to test that kernel17:46
brycehI asked apw and tgardner if we could get a build of that kernel for folks to test17:46
mdzbryceh, it's starting to look like maybe it's related to the external monitor being primary17:47
mdztesting that on its own now17:47
=== deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck
brycehmdz, tseliot, one other step you could take if you want to make good use of this testing time:17:47
mdzswitching it to be primary didn't break it (and also didn't get saved across sessions)17:47
brycehinstall xdiagnose and tick on the 'Kernel Debug" flag, which will enable the modesetting debugging messages in dmesg, and collect a dmesg when reproducing the problem17:48
tseliotmdz: because you didn't do it from the gnome app. That's the only way it can remember its settings17:48
tseliotmdz: the gnome app has no way to set the primary output17:49
tseliotyou should edit the xml file manually17:49
mdzbryceh, we have "extra graphics debug messages", "display boot messages", "disable VESA framebuffer driver" and "disable PAT memory"17:49
mdzI assume it's the first one we want?17:49
mdztseliot, oh17:49
mdzand the gnome app has no way of setting which one is primary afaik17:49
tseliotyes, it's what I said ;)17:50

brycehmdz, tseliot, ok looking at apw's review of the patches I mentioned, he's doubtful they'll help but will be spinning up that kernel for testing17:54
kirklandAlanBell: I think we have put a significant dent in (a), if not solved entirely to satisfaction17:54
elmowe'll be running gobby anyway/additionally, so if you want to make UDS the 'at scale load' you can17:54

elmokirkland: but we're not pointing u.c at ec2 :-P17:57
mdzbryceh, tseliot, copying in the old monitors.xml reliably reproduces the problem17:57
kirklandelmo: understood, of course17:57
brycehmdz, ok thanks, well it's a long shot17:57
stgrabertkamppeter: ok, thanks. is that something that jockey (or similar stuff) might pull directly from Canon or is that manually installed by the user for sure ?17:58
stgrabertkamppeter: (just trying to understand if that's something that Ubuntu might have installed somehow and that we should fix or if that's just a case where the user did something unsupported and the bug should therefore be closed)17:58
brycehmdz, tseliot, there's a number of sections in that monitors.xml; maybe try narrowing it down to the particular section?17:58
kirklandelmo: latest packaging is in ppa:etherpad/ppa, if you'd like to test and/or review17:59

mdzI use a similar setup to Jane with an external monitor as primary18:00
tseliotbryceh, mdz: yes, one of those combinations in  monitors.xml will show the problem18:00
kirklandelmo: jamespage can confirm, but I believe we're at a point at which we'd like your IS feedback18:00
speakmanhow do I find out which package installed another package?18:01
tseliotbryceh, mdz: I see both LVDS and LVDS1 in monitors.xml. I think it's a bit... unusual18:01
jamespageelmo, kirkland: almost - I've been really struggling on removing the last bundled jar;18:01
brycehmdz, I'd be interested to see a report on that; what I'm basing my theory that it is arrandale-specific on is that I went through all natty bug reports we've received relating to external monitor or modesetting->blank issues, and found that out of about a dozen or more bug reports, only 2 were *not* arrandale, and one of those two had very different symptoms18:01
kirklandjamespage: which jar is that?18:02
mdztseliot, yes, that's what triggered my memory in fact18:02
elmokirkland/jamespage: cool, I'll have a look when i can - thanks for working on this18:02
mdzI remember having a problem similar to this when all the xrandr display names changed18:02
mdzVGA->VGA1 etc.18:02
tseliotyep18:03
brycehtseliot, yeah there was a name change about a year ago; -ati, -nouveau, and -intel were all using different naming systems for the output, and they unified them all to be consistent18:03
jamespagekirkland: well its a patched version of rhino; but I can't tell which version (might be 1.6) and it gets shaded alongside Rhino 1.7R1 so both can co-exist18:03
jamespagekirkland - really horrible :-(18:03
jamespagekirkland: jar name is rhino-yuicompressor.jar18:04
tseliotbryceh, mdz: but still, from what I recall, the gnome app should skip the configurations that don't match the current outputs. This in theory, of course...18:04

brycehmdz, tseliot, hmm interesting... looking through these other arrandale/modesetting bug reports, I'm noticing their monitors.xml don't have this LVDS/LVDS1 issue but many of them do show LEN as the monitor manufacturer18:07
brycehmaybe that's coincidental though18:07
tseliotbryceh: a half broken EDID, perhaps?18:10
brycehtseliot, we've certainly seen that before...18:10
brycehtseliot, LEN is lenovo?  could be just that it's a popular brand amongst arrandale purchasers18:11

mdzbryceh, what's written on the front is "iiyama"18:12
mdz(of Jane's monitor)18:12

AlanBellkirkland: elmo: so the etherpad server gets hidden and exposed through the summit UI in an iframe for each meeting18:17

brycehmdz, btw one question I think has not been discussed on the bug so far - I assume this is a regression from maverick (where it was working fine), and immediately started after upgrading to natty?18:22
stgraberAlanBell: that's really cool18:23
AlanBellthanks stgraber18:23
brycehmdz, the plan of attack I'm thinking about is a) have people test the intel-drm-next-proposed kernel to verify it's still an issue upstream (and if not, locate the patch for kernel team to backport), b) (re-)forward the bug upstream, c) do a git bisect between maverick and natty kernels to isolate what patch brought the problem18:25
mdzbryceh, understood. now that we know how to work around and reproduce the problem, we should make quick progress18:28
SpamapSScottK: re the opendkim issue.. it does appear that opendkim doesn't daemonize properly.. :-P18:28
ScottKSpamapS: Right, but looking at the init, I don't see anything particularly unusual.18:29
ScottKSince upstream doesn't use Debian/Ubuntu, I wonder if they have a different definition of "properly"?18:29
brycehmdz, mind attaching that debug dmesg to the report?  Even if it has nothing useful, that itself may give someone some clue18:30
SpamapSScottK: I think the issue is that they are not releasing stdin properly18:30
mdzbryceh, I've emailed it to you, so you can decide if it's useful and attach if so18:30
brycehmdz, comment #59 is interesting; I'd like to see the monitors.xml produced from that action (so we know what settings go with the error)18:31
SpamapSScottK: its broken on RH/CentOS too18:31
mdzbryceh, it's a bit annoying because some wifi driver is spamming dmesg18:31

ScottKSpamapS: I'd really appreciate it if you could explain this in the thread in a way that the upstream will understand.  He's generally very reasonable.18:31
mdzbryceh, emailed you the other monitors.xml18:32
SpamapSScottK: yeah, I think the attempt to dup2 devnull and stuff is just wasted.. setsid() pretty much takes care of all of that once the parent exit()'s .. will get a patch together and then explain to upstream18:33

* barry reads up21:13
dokobarry: about jsquery, it's debian policy to share the jquery.js. so better find out what is wrong with the one in natty. do 2.6, 3.1 and 3.2 work?21:14
barrydoko: personally i think it's a silly policy21:14
dokoslangasek, ScottK: no, it's independent of optimization options, the implementation is selected at runtime depending on the cpu21:14
barrydoko: i do not yet know.  i'm still trying to nail down exactly what's going on21:15
slangasekdoko: right, and I see see4_2 in the cpuinfo flags... so it doesn't seem to be a bug with the selection21:16
slangasekand no segfault for me here with that command21:17
dokohmm, this is lucid21:18

matttbeHi,22:46
matttbeI'm looking for a sponsor in order to upload our cairo-dock packages on Ubuntu Natty.22:46
matttbeBzr branches have been linked to these bugs reports and I've also joined the .debian.tar.gz generated by 'debuild' command and a link the original tarball given by the upstream.22:46

matttbeIs somebody can help me by uploading these packages?22:47
matttbeShould I have to upload another file or add another comment?22:47
ScottKSubscribe ubuntu-sponsors to the bug if you didn't.22:47
matttbedone :)22:48
matttbeThese bug reports are available there: http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/22:50
vishcouldnt the cairo-dock team (create and) get a PPU access?22:52
vish(they are active and maybe they could have been uploaded a while ago)22:53
SpamapSScottK: so far I'm not able to reproduce the opendkim bug at all22:53
ScottKSpamapS: OK.  I didn't manage either, but I was sure I was doing something wrong.  Would you mind joining the upstream discussion?22:54
ScottKI'm kind of out of my depth in it.22:54
matttbeHello vish :)22:54
matttbevish: What's a PPU? The possibility to only upload a few packages directly on Ubuntu repositories?22:54
SpamapSScottK: yeah I'll jump in if this last ditch effort (putting usleeps in a few places) doesn't reproduce it22:54
macomatttbe: yes22:54
ScottKThanks.22:54
macomatttbe: "Per Package Uploader"22:55
vishmatttbe: hey.. :)  per-package-upload access  some packages have them not sure what the process is though22:55
matttbeoh interesting22:55
macovish: ask the tech board to create a package set22:55
matttbeI thought that this PPU only exists on Debian22:55
macogive a list of which packages they are too22:55
macothey vote, and colin makes a packageset22:56
macomatttbe: well anyone with upload rights overall could still upload it. NMU approval isnt a thing we do22:56
macoits just that someone who isnt trusted to touch *everything* can be trusted to touch *some* things22:56
matttbeok22:57
vishmatttbe: you guys could go for that.. /me wants cairo-dock fixes asap ;)22:57
SpamapSYou don't have to have a package set either22:57
macohmm...maybe the DMB can vote on packageset creation too? not sure22:57
macoSpamapS: true22:57
SpamapSyou can just request access to a few packages that you are interested in maintaining22:57
matttbevish: sure :)22:57
macobut if you're going to be doing a group of people with the same set of packages, then its easier administratively22:57
macoif its only one person, then sure, just list which packages you want to be able to upload22:57
macoLaney: can we vote on packageset creation or just packageset access?22:58
maco...i should ask someone who's not also new to the dmb, huh22:58
matttbeit's easy, it's only one person (me) and only 2 packages: cairo-dock and cairo-dock-plug-ins.23:00
matttbethese packages doesn't have a library which is used by other packages (there is a library but only used by our plug-ins)23:01
Laneymaco: Yeah, I think so.23:07
Laneyalso, please help progress the mail applications going on!23:08
* Laney whips the DMB23:08
macoLaney: i'm in the middle of typing questions for cyphermox23:08
Laneyexcellent :-)23:09
macomatttbe: in that case https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/Agenda23:09
matttbemaco: thank you!23:10
=== sconklin is now known as sconklin-gone
Laneyhow many packages is it? If it's just a couple then PPU is probably preferable23:11
Laneyalso I'd /really/ like to see this Debian situation with cairo-dock resolved23:11
macoLaney: 223:11
matttbeLaney: yes, me too...23:12
macoso yeah, matttbe should just request PPU23:12

matttbeohsix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo-dock-plug-ins/+bug/65756423:14
ubottuUbuntu bug 657564 in cairo-dock-plugins (Debian) "Duplicated package with cairo-dock-plugins (coming from Debian)" [Undecided,In progress]23:14
ohsixthanks23:14
Laneyin general making it syncable23:15
matttbeohsix: the official maintainer of cairo-dock debian packages want to split all plugins (more than 50 packages, with a few wrong dependences, wrong names, etc.) and he doesn't want to remove a few patches.23:16
matttbeAnd we don't know what to do...23:16
=== robbiew is now known as robbiew_
ohsixmatttbe: fwiw, with split packages at least their relationship can be defined; presumably themes will also be packaged and depend on the right ones to get it going; and an "-all" metapackage that would just depend on them all23:37
ohsixmatttbe: i've seen projects do well to clean their own house when interacting with people who distribute their software :P23:40
matttbeohsix: yes but if we split packages and finally we only can install all of them, it's strange...23:40
matttbemaybe we can have something like compiz packages...23:40
matttbeyes but :) I also have to maintain these packages for our ppa and repository23:41
ohsixcompiz split their own plugins up when they merged with beryl didn't they? sorted by quality & origin23:41
ohsixsimilarly, gstreamer has good/bad/ugly and base23:42
matttbeand we have plug-ins and plug-ins-integration :)23:42
ohsixare all the plugins of equal quality?23:43
matttbemmh no23:43
matttbethe -integration plug-ins are important23:43
ohsixwhat percentage might you consider well done and vital?23:44
matttbesome of them are used by the default theme so it can be interesting to install them. Some plug-ins are used by other, etc.23:45
matttbeit's hard to give you a percentage but... yes maybe we can create a few groups23:45
ohsixit might help to keep focus on the important first class ones too23:51
ohsixif you had groups, people doing themes could say which group & version instead of exaustively listing them, if they do at all23:52
matttbeohsix: yes but if these people do that, it'll be only for Debian and Ubuntu users23:54
matttbeor we've to create these groups into the code...23:54
ohsixsure, i was talking about your grouping of them though23:54
ohsixif you chose to do so23:54
matttbeand if we have a look to compiz packages, they are split because these plug-ins are not in the same git branch...23:55
ohsixwell, that's one reason23:55
matttbebut yes, I'll try to find something else in order to sync Debian and Ubuntu version23:56
