[06:34] There is a pretty serious bug in ubuntu natty for the program 'clipit' which can be solved with a tiny patch. Is there any chance that such a patch might be included before the final release of natty? [06:48] evaluate: It's in Universe, so: maybe.

[Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/768901 [08:11] Saamm, it looks like your provider redirected you because they had some breakage somewhere - it's hardly xapian's fault that it can't parse a HTML file :) [08:11] Saamm, try moving the file away to some other place and try again [08:12] my provider does this whenever i am disconnected....4-5 time in 24 hours [08:13] Saamm, can you try moving the file away to see if that makes it work again? [08:13] there are six extras.ubuntu.com files...should i move them all? [08:14] Yes. [08:14] ok trying [08:15] someone came into our loco channel yesterday, whose apt (on a headless server) was getting HTML because he'd entered an incorrect password in his DSL router. Providers are getting more user-friendly and software-unfriendly :/ [08:17] thanks guys you solved my problem...moving files helped :D [08:17] the only solution for apt I can think of is to try to parse the file before saving it [08:18] dholbach, yep that will work [08:19] the question is what you should do if it's not parseable [08:20] having users manually delete files in /var/lib/apt/lists is probably not that good an idea [08:21] err, ... having to ... [08:21] sure, totally - but depending on the frontend for apt you use you might want to have a different kind of notification/reaction [08:21] dholbach, automatic correction notification ---> 'These files could not be parsed. Do you want to move them at a separate location? Apt will automatically recreate them and update your system' [08:21] so it's not a "quick fix" that's going to work for all of them [08:21] yes or no [08:22] let's wait until mvo is here :) [08:22] whos mvo? [08:23] probably the guy who knows apt and friends best [08:23] ok [08:24] isn't that a non-issue for signed repositories? [08:24] i.e., passing two html files to gpg won't get you an "ok" response [08:25] so apt shouldn't be accepting those as valid Packages files anyway in such a case [08:32] * Hobbsee discovers the answer to the question of "what can possibly go wrong?" for an ubuntu install === doko_ is now known as doko [08:34] s/install/upgrade/ [08:34] Failure to bring up ethernet after dist-upgrade wasn't the answer I was expecting === jam1 is now known as jam [09:25] @pilot in === 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: RAOF, janimo [09:25] @pilot out === 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: RAOF === TeTeT_ is now known as TeTeT [09:52] @pilot out === 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: [10:16] Hello [10:16] I just installed 11.04, but my shell is still GNOME not Unity... how can I change this?

[10:58] Ja23, by selecting "Ubuntu" in the gdm screen [10:59] if it doesn't work it might mean that your videocard can't run it [10:59] did you restart your computer after installing the drivers?

[11:00] try running the unity_support_test helper by hand and see what it says [11:01] And by "earlier" I mean "like a couple of weeks ago". I'm not sure if we've got an updated fglrx since then. [11:06] I tried running unity_support_test and got "segmentation fault" [11:09] Ja23, did you restart the computer since you installed fglrx? [11:10] Ja23, can you run it with gdb and pastebin the crash backtrace? [11:11] I'm restarting just to find out [11:15] restarted, still no unity [11:24] Ja23: And unity_support_test still segfaults?

Presumably it'll then crash, and you can type “bt” to grab the backtrace. === JamieBen1ett is now known as JamieBennett [12:26] hmm, using lzma for compressing the initrd in natty gets me weird results [12:26] if i just use update-initramfs with COMPRESSION=lzma in the config, i cant boot at all [12:27] if i use gzip as compression method, uncompress the initrd and recompress manually with lzma -z, all boots fine [12:28] seems a bit like lzma behaves differently if something gets piped to it vs calling it with a filename to compress [12:41] cjwatson, is there any reason we dont use initramfs-tools' lzma mode in livecd-rootfs (and instesad recompress a gzipped initrd) ? [12:47] ogra_: no idea [12:47] ogra_: it was years ago, maybe it didn't have that mode [12:47] oh, i thought .lz inirds only came recently [12:47] *initrds [12:48] (on the live images i mean) [12:48] i think there is a bug in initramfs-tools with it, lzma is called completely without options in mkinitrd [12:49] IIRC needing to use -S '' in some cases [12:49] or something like that [12:49] well, livecd-rootfs uses -9c [12:49] manually i just used -z ... in any case i cant boot anything that was rolled without options to lzma === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow === Pici` is now known as Pici === sconklin-gone is now known as sconklin === diwic is now known as diwic_afk [15:04] cjwatson, heh, in streamed (piped) mode lzma doesnt add the filesize to the header so the kernel wont load the initrd, in non-streamed i have a size (according to file) [15:12] ogra: That does make a certain amount of sense. Streams don't have filesizes. Shame on the kernel for seemingly requiring that in its decompressor, though. [15:14] infinity, well, i'm playing with my own (tegra2) kernel ... might be my fault, though i took one of our distro configs as base and dont really think i'm missing anything [15:14] ogra: I can't imagine that there's a kernel config option that says "make my initrd require an obscure compression header", so I imagine the fault isn't yours. :P [15:15] heh, k :) [15:15] ogra: But if it's the case that initramfs-tools-generated lzma images don't work, while it's probably a kernel bug, we should fix it in initramfs too. Conservative in what you create, liberal in what you accept, yadda, yadda. [15:15] SpamapS, could I have an ack for bug 770719? like the firefox bug you looked at last week, this one would go out via natty-security with the next firefox point-release (if there is one. if there isn't, then we'll just do the usual route through natty-proposed) [15:15] Launchpad bug 770719 in firefox (Ubuntu Natty) "Dutch localization doesn't include Firefox Dutch spell checker add-on" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/770719 [15:15] well, i see that livecd-rootfs seems to create a streamed lzma file and our live x86 images apparently work [15:15] i'm not sure why nobody picked this up earlier in the cycle :( [15:16] ogra: Hrm? I thought you said livecd-rootfs was re-compressing a gzip initrd? [15:16] it does, but still from a stream [15:16] Oh, so the stream thing may be a red herring. [15:16] i can boot if i manually uncompress the gzipped file and use lzma on that ... i cant boot if i pipe to lzma [15:17] looking at both results with file shows me size info on one but not the other file [15:17] Kay, that seems like normal behaviour though. Streams don't have sizes. [15:18] Nailing down what makes the initramfs-tools-generated one even more different would be nice. [15:19] not sure this came through before I lost my connection --> you mean the compressed size? it obviously *can't* add that to a *header* when streaming... [15:20] JanC: Yes, as noted. [15:20] JanC: But it doesn't seem that's his problem anyway. [15:21] well, its non std HW with a non STD kernel and bootloader .. the worrying part is that i can boot one but not the other, the only real difference in creation is that one is streamed, the other isnt [15:21] and even when creating a streamed one manually it doesnt boot [15:22] maybe the kernel-implementation for lzma decompression requires the size ? [15:23] ogra: But if you zcat | lzma a gzip one, it works? [15:23] no [15:23] that creates a streamed file [15:24] Oh, kay. I misread above where I thought you said that worked, but initramfs-tools didn't. [15:24] Kay. [15:24] But, on the other hand, the livecds use a pipe too. [15:24] if i zcat > && lzma -z it works [15:24] Are you using the same switches? [15:24] yes, thats what bothers me [15:24] zcat | lzma -9c [15:24] it also tried with the same switches, no go [15:25] *scratch head* [15:25] also tried -zc (which might be redundant) [15:25] as well as just -c and no option at all (the latter is what initramfs-tools uses) [15:26] Does the streamed and in-place compression result in a file of reasonably similar size? [15:26] Could be running into a hardware/firmware issue that's entirely unrelated to the kernel. [15:26] about 1-2 bytes difference [15:26] Kay, scratch that. [15:27] my bootloader tool would complain if its to big [15:27] ARM hardware? [15:27] if i flash it to the SD [15:27] yep [15:27] ac100 netbook, tegra2 [15:27] Which bootloader does it use? [15:27] I wonder if it's one of the few that "cleverly" decompresses the initrd internally and passes a raw image to the kernel. [15:28] its something fastboot based [15:28] And maybe it's the bootloader's failure here, not the kernel. [15:29] reads the files from an SD partition where the binary bits have to live in certain places ... [15:31] ogra: Any chance you could experiment by stripping a driver or two our of the initrd, then recompressing? [15:31] ogra: I'm still tempted to blame size and call the streaming thing a red herring. [15:31] you mean make it smaller ? [15:31] Yes. :P [15:31] * ogra drops FRAMEBUFFER=y from the initrd options to drop plymouth [15:31] That would do it. [15:31] that should gain me a few M [15:34] infinity: boot loader decompressing initrd> *boggle* [15:35] and people complain about GRUB having too many features === herton is now known as herton_lunch [15:35] cjwatson: You've obviously not played much in the scary embedded world. Bootloaders do all sorts of stupid things. [15:36] cjwatson: The only misfeature GRUB appears to have is failing entirely to boot my netbook on every 4th attempt. === bjf[afk] is now known as bjf [15:37] It's only a misfeature if upstream doesn't have it in for you personally. [15:37] !away | bjf [15:37] bjf: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [15:37] infinity, wow, weird. seems to boot with the 1.8M streamed initrd [15:38] ion, mind your own business [15:38] ogra: Bingo. [15:38] infinity: score. one of those things that's a pain to debug other than in person [15:38] it doesnt work with the 4.2M streamed one, but works with the 4.2M one thats non streamed [15:38] ogra: Not that this tells me yet where the bug lies, but it tells us the streaming thing was a red herring. [15:39] well, seems streaming has some influence if i get to the edge of things [15:39] bjf: Personally I don't care about the away messages since I filter them, but that's an unreasonably hostile response as such requests are consistent with the channel's rules. [15:39] though 4.2 shouldnt actually hit the edge yet [15:39] ogra: Or, rather, the streaming thing is likely a data point that we were misinterpreting. The header is irellevant, but decompression utilities need more memory to decompress streams. [15:40] ah, yeah, that might be it [15:40] ogra: So, even if the initrds are the same size, you may still be running into either a platform or kernel constraint with the streamed version. [15:40] well, then rolling it un-streamed from initramfs-tools still makes sense i think [15:40] ogra: Oh, I'd agree that changing the behaviour for both initramfs-tools and livecd-rootfs is a good idea here anyway, erring on the side of caution, but I'd be curious to nail the actual bug. [15:41] ogra: Do you have a kernel source tree lying around? [15:41] ogra: Ancient bug, and I'd like to THINK the fix was upstreamed, but can you check that some variation of the patch in https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/3488 shows up in our source? [15:42] infinity, http://gitorious.org/ac100/ the marvin chromium tree from there [15:42] ogra: s/our/your/ [15:43] infinity: hi! nice to see you :) [15:43] ogra: Either way, though, even if the kernel is now doing sane and wonderful things (and I hope it is), there's only so much you can do on some of these embedded platforms to deal with early-boot memory constraints. A lot of them really aren't keen on lighting up much/any of the system until later in the process. [15:44] kees: Oh hai. [15:45] ScottK: can you point me to the channel rules? [15:46] infinity, yeah, on the ac100 its actually a shame ... i have two boot partitions (android kernel and android recovery) on an 8G MMC that the bootloader holds the partition table for ... i cant repartition at all (and there are several partitions on the device that are even hidden from the kernel completely [15:46] ) [15:46] There's a link to them when you /join. [15:47] chrisccoulson: reading now [15:48] ScottK: All I get is the topic, which points to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment, which makes no mention of IRC rules [15:48] OK. In any case the request was a pretty standard one for Ubuntu channels. [15:48] * ScottK isn't an irc lawyering expert. [15:49] scottk, maybe i was a little harsh, i can accept that and i'm sorry, but i've been doing my nic this way for two years now and this is maybe the second time anyone has complained [15:49] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [15:50] ScottK, this is SOP for the kernel channel [15:50] james_w: Thanks. [15:50] ScottK, and if it's a problem, then I can just drop this channel [15:50] As I said, I just filter them, so it doesn't affect me either way. I was more concerned about the harshness of the response. [15:50] So don't leave on my account. [15:50] ScottK, now, i've taken up more of your and my time than is necessary for this [15:51] Agreed. [15:52] chrisccoulson: I commented on the bug. Don't forget to subscribe ubuntu-sru after you upload to natty-proposed. :) [15:52] ogra: Can you file bugs on initramfs-tools and livecd-rootfs requesting a chance from piped to file-based compression? It's probably a sane change even if it isn't the real bug at play here. [15:52] ogra: Saving a bit of RAM on boot is never a bad thing. [15:53] (as an #ubuntu-devel op) I think away nick changes are annoying and noisy, but I wouldn't ban people for them, and I more or less never even comment on them because it has an excellent chance of turning into this kind of meta-discussion which is more annoying than the original problem [15:53] infinity, will do, for my use case i can work around it in flash-kernel though [15:53] ogra: *nod* [15:53] cjwatson: Like what's happening right now? :) [15:53] well, quite so [15:56] james_w: thanks [16:06] Hello [16:06] I've just installed Natty and Unity is not showing up for me, instead I still have GNOME [16:07] When I try to run unity_support_test I get a segmentation fault [16:07] When I backtrace it using gdb I get: #0 0x002c3824 in XF86DRIQueryExtension () from /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 [16:07] #1 0x00165ae6 in ??

[19:42] @pilot out === 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: [19:57] SpamapS: Since that's what creates the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed header in .changes files (and everything else keys off that), it would be fair to call dpkg the authority. [19:58] SpamapS: But curiously, I couldn't readily find any docs in the wiki explaining it to people who didn't already know the syntax. [19:58] infinity: seems like something important to put in the packaging guide/policy [19:58] Guide, not policy. [19:58] But yes. [19:58] Pretty sure the Debian packaging guide mentions Closes: #NNN [19:58] Or the dev-ref, rather. [19:59] http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog [19:59] SpamapS: does [19:59] SpamapS: Whoops [19:59] SpamapS: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog [19:59] "Ubuntu: If this upload resolves bugs recorded in Launchpad, they may be automatically closed on the inclusion of this package into the Ubuntu archive by including the string: LP: #nnnnn in the change details.[20] This information is conveyed via the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed field in the .changes file (see Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed, Section 5.6.23)." [20:00] james_w: Ah, even better. [20:00] Oh, lookie there, it's in Policy. [20:00] I was looking in the packaging guide, since I didn't think it should be a policy thing. :P [20:00] There it is. Ok good. :) [20:01] Some things omit the required \s+ .. :-P [20:04] The LP regex sure is less sloppy than the Closes one. [20:04] I guess we decided to be more anal about format the second time around. [20:06] Anyone responsible for the wireless problem on nettops like the Aspire-One? [20:07] Because the problem is detected in the hardware initialization. [20:08] If the board is already initialized by windows, then Ubuntu 11.04 works fine [20:08] And only then === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [20:35] nhandler: congrats btw :) [20:39] Another bug is feeding SKYPE with stereo MIC where SKYPE subtracts one channel from the other, witn no option to force a MONO input... resulting in no MIC sound in Skype EXCEPT if you use a declared external MIC. [20:40] This happens because for almost 2 years there is no way to force a MONO input in a stereo board with a channel only. [20:44] The sound recorder in Ubuntu works therefore properly (he assumes mono) were Skype expects what it is told (stereo MIC). Why the sound is reduced to near zero is a matter of the Skype internal choices, under the incorrect information from the sound system used by Ubuntu. This is noticed in the Aspire-One (again). [21:01] hi everyone [21:01] I'm trying to track down what I believe to be a kernel issue - is anyone around for me to poke if I have issues? [21:02] in short when I copy a file (locally or over ethernet) after a certain percentage- my box freezes and my mouse etc becomes unresponsive [21:02] I'm compiling a kernel from kernel.org (latest stable) to see if it might be a maintream or an ubuntu specific issue [21:04] when I did: wget -c http://192.168.x.x/ubuntu.iso my box would freeze after 82%. When I did: unsquashfs on filesystem.squashfs (cp'ed from /casper on the install iso) - after 2% it always hangs [21:06] shadeslayer: Thanks a lot (assuming GSoC) :) [21:06] shit - while building the kernel it crashed :( [21:06] i shouldn't have tried to install vim while it was working [21:07] do i need to do a "make clean" or can i just run make again? [21:07] try #ubuntu-kernel? [21:07] it has been running for a long time so far :( [21:07] seb128: thanks [21:08] yw [21:19] mick_laptop, you laptop may have a thermal design problem - that is - it cannot cool itself good enough [21:40] lars_t_h: it is a desktop - and no, that doesn't happen after 5 minutes of use in a cold room [21:40] ok [22:05] if I'm getting a kernel panic on boot consistently with the latest natty kernel - what's the best way to capture/report that? [22:24] mtaylor: a camera has become a pretty normal way [22:25] hallyn: really? ok. I'll go that next. file on ubuntu/+source/linux? [22:25] mtaylor, hallyn: install linux-crashdump [22:25] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe [22:27] broder: neat [22:27] obviously that requires that the panic isn't *too* early :-P [22:28] (as mine tend to be) === robbiew1 is now known as robbiew === bjf is now known as bjf[afk] [23:55] TheMuso, Hi, can you help in testing ubuntu desktop and alternate powerpc images ?
