| janimo | doko, how do you run the testsuit of eglibc? Are the failures in the bugreport only from build logs? | 10:08 |

| * lucidfox looks at the heap of old packages on REVU :( | 14:38 | |
| lucidfox | I'm tempted to just mass-reject all REVU packages before mid-2010, because seriously, every time I actually go there with the intent to review packages, the mass of those old ones makes me panic | 14:40 |
| tumbleweed | is this not a sign that REVU isn't working? | 14:40 |
| lucidfox | Well, some packages from it do get uploaded, it's just that people allow it to get covered in cobwebs and dust... | 14:41 |
| tumbleweed | a problem is that without active maintainence, packages die. And lots of packages in REVU look like they might be drive-by submissions. I tend to suggest Debian for new packages where appropriate... | 14:43 |
| ScottK | lucidfox: I'm OK with that. | 14:44 |
| lucidfox | Well, it's a vicious cycle. Packagers submit packages, reviewers don't review because of the long queue stretching back to two years ago, packagers lose interest and stop updating, reviewers archive packages and forget about them | 14:45 |
| lucidfox | and yes, I found Debian's ITP more responsive most of the time | 14:45 |
| tumbleweed | another problem is the release cycle. Packages really should get accepted before feature freeze, but I don't know how many submitters are aware of the schedule | 14:46 |

| kirkland | cjwatson: cool, thanks | 16:09 |
| ScottK | (just imagine I spelled that better) | 16:09 |
| kirkland | lynxman: ^ | 16:09 |
| lynxman | kirkland: gotcha | 16:10 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: there seems to be some situation in server and/or cloud installs that ends up with an /etc/hosts file missing the 127.0.1.1 $hostname entry | 16:10 |
| kirkland | lynxman: investigating and solving that will be best in the long run | 16:10 |
| lynxman | kirkland: definitely, will have a quick look, thanks :) | 16:11 |
| kirkland | lynxman: as for the cloud installs, check with smoser | 16:11 |
| kirkland | lynxman: it might be something he needs to add to either cloud-init, or to his image build scripts | 16:11 |
| lynxman | kirkland: that I think has a solution already | 16:11 |
| kirkland | lynxman: oh? | 16:11 |
| lynxman | kirkland: cloud-init has the otion to address it | 16:11 |
| lynxman | kirkland: you have an option in cloud-init were you can let cloud-init manage /etc/hosts using a template | 16:12 |
| kirkland | lynxman: i see | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: by design, you only get 127.0.1.1 if you haven't configured a better static address | 16:13 |
| cjwatson | that's the sole condition involved here | 16:13 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: oh, interesting; lynxman -- is that the situation you're encountering? | 16:13 |
| lucidfox | Is there a way to print a list of all source packages known to apt? | 16:13 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: the problem we're seeing is that on default cloud installs there's no entry in /etc/hosts that matches hostname | 16:13 |
| cjwatson | netcfg always writes out such an entry. I don't know what cloud-init does to it | 16:14 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: so we got an IP and a generated hostname delivered by the metadata service, but then no entry in /etc/hosts shows up | 16:14 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: same for cobbler, it gets IP and hostname, but no entry in /etc/hosts either | 16:15 |
| cjwatson | lynxman: I don't see anything in netcfg that could cause that. you sure it isn't a cloud-init problem? | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | (which is not a package I know anything about) | 16:18 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: cloud-init is not in play on this, I can solve it through cloud-init overwriting /etc/hosts but on a default install that's an issue | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | lynxman: well, give me /var/log then | 16:19 |
| cjwatson | and /etc/hosts | 16:19 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: sure, gimme 2 ticks | 16:19 |

| psusi | cjwatson: I have a server I just upgraded to natty and grub is puking on the raid5 claiming it is seeing multiple disks with the same id, and more disks than the array is supposed to contain. I suspect this is because of the changes to recognize the new md superblock formats and grub is detecting the superblock both in the whole disk, as well as in the partition ( single raid partition ). Any ideas on how to test that theory? | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | lynxman,kirkland: this isn't a d-i install, nor ubiquity. cloud-init is doing it all itself. not my problem ... | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | lynxman,kirkland: I assume it does its own debootstrap and fills things out from there. | 16:45 |
| cjwatson | lynxman: if you want me to investigate a problem with the standard server installer, I'll need logs from a system that was actually installed with the standard server installer :) | 16:45 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: fair enough :) | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | psusi: hm, there were a few changes in 1.99~rc2 that might address that | 16:46 |
| lynxman | cjwatson: I'll look more into the problem, thanks | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | psusi: e.g.: | 16:48 |
| cjwatson | 2011-04-06 Vladimir Serbinenko <phcoder@gmail.com> | 16:48 |
| cjwatson | * grub-core/disk/mdraid1x_linux.c (grub_mdraid_detect): Detect spares | 16:48 |

| cjwatson | * grub-core/disk/mdraid_linux.c (grub_mdraid_detect): Likewise. | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | psusi: I'll be merging 1.99~rc2 into Debian and Ubuntu at some point over the next week or so, I think (I'm doing some fairly large packaging changes at the same time); once I've done that, it might be worth trying that, though I don't know how much time I have | 16:50 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: thanks, no problem, we'll take it up with smoser | 16:50 |
| psusi | hrm... I'll give it a try... though I don't have any spares... just 4 disks each with a single raid partition | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | er, *how much time you have | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | there's also "Identify RAID by its UUID rather than (guessed) name." | 16:51 |
| psusi | cjwatson: I should pull from lp:grub/grub2? | 16:52 |

| cjwatson | psusi: which superblock format are you using? | 16:53 |

| psusi | cjwatson: yep, it is 0.9 with some free space at the end of the disk... mdadm -E doesn't find the superblock on sda either, just sda1. guess that was a wrong guess... | 17:15 |
| Quintasan | cjwatson: I did update-grub after chrooting, it was probably stupid of me to do so when grub could have not gotten installed | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | psusi: or of course it's possible I didn't leave enough space | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | Quintasan: are you trying to install to a partition? | 17:15 |
| Quintasan | cjwatson: no idea, in graphical installer I pointed to install on /dev/sda | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | Quintasan: this error is before GRUB manages to read the output of update-grub | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | Quintasan: did you run 'grub-install /dev/sda' inside the chroot? | 17:16 |
| Quintasan | nope | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | you didn't reinstall GRUB then ... | 17:16 |
| Quintasan | cjwatson: warn: Your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit in the embedding area... | 17:19 |
| Quintasan | Later it says it can install by blocklists but they are unreliable | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | Quintasan: yeah, particularly for btrfs. I don't suppose it would be possible to move your first partition to the now-more-standard practice of starting 1MiB into the disk rather than 63 sectors in? | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | Quintasan: we are going to implement a special embedding method for btrfs, but it's not in natty | 17:24 |
| Quintasan | cjwatson: can I do it without reformatting anything? | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | and GRUB's core.img with btrfs is indeed too large for first-partition-at-63-sectors (bug 774217) | 17:24 |

| cjwatson | sorry this is awkward, as noted in the release notes btrfs is still experimental, and that goes for the distro integration too ... | 17:25 |
| Quintasan | cjwatson: That's why I wanted to test it :D | 17:26 |
| cjwatson | Quintasan: I've release-noted 774217 now | 17:29 |
| Quintasan | cjwatson: 1 MiB will be enough? | 17:29 |
| cjwatson | easily | 17:29 |
| Quintasan | I don't have anything valuabe apart from Windows install there so I can experiment more if you want me to :P | 17:30 |

| jjohansen | kirkland: yep /meneeds to get back to it | 18:13 |
| kirkland | jjohansen: i don't think we necessarily need a UDS session about it, but perhaps just having a (or moving the natty) blueprint for Oneiric would be nice | 18:13 |
| kirkland | jjohansen: yeah, i think you were pretty close for Natty | 18:13 |
| jjohansen | hrmm, right | 18:13 |
| kirkland | jjohansen: would be nice to get that one front loaded | 18:13 |
| jjohansen | well I would say its pretty far atm, the dentry file is a fair bit more work | 18:14 |
| jjohansen | of course we can leverage a lot of what has been done | 18:14 |

| psusi | cjwatson: I notice there is a dprint in there every time a raid member is registered... how do you enable that output? | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | psusi: 'set debug=raid' (first arg to grub_dprintf) or 'set debug=all' | 18:32 |
| psusi | cjwatson: any way to set that before the built in raid module is initialized? or force it to reinitialize after setting it? | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | grub-install --debug-image=raid or --debug-image=all | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | (the latter will produce a *lot* of output) | 18:35 |
| psusi | cjwatson: also I tried to ./grub-mkrescue up a bootable iso in the build directory of the upstream grub and it apparently built an empty iso... can it not work out of the build tree? Does it have to be installed? | 18:38 |

| kirkland | smoser: howdy | 18:52 |
| smoser | i can give insight to the cloud-init /etc/hosts issue if you want. | 18:52 |
| ohsix | ScottK: shrug, i looked at it and there were translations on there with various levels of completion, just not english | 18:53 |
| smoser | cloud-init does not write /etc/hosts 127.0.1.1 entry by design. that was so that it could avoid updating it, and dealing with overwriting user changes on subsequent "rebundles". | 18:53 |
| ScottK | ohsix: Yes, but they are in the package itself, not part of the Launchpad translations system. | 18:53 |
| kirkland | smoser: hmm | 18:54 |
| smoser | instead it stays out of the way entirely. Unless (in natty) you tell it to manage hosts. | 18:54 |

| kirkland | smoser: okay, i've subscribed lynxman to that bug; he's the one having issues with this | 18:55 |
| kirkland | smoser: i'm trying to help him work around it | 18:55 |

| * slangasek gets rid of all the stale packages in oneiric that were removed from Debian in 2009 :( | 18:56 | |

| Laney | OK | 21:30 |
| Laney | I guess we just did | 21:30 |

| cjwatson | psusi: I guess I must have got the partitioning constraints wrong; independent of whatever's going wrong with grub, that would be a bug on partman-base ... | 21:36 |
| ScottK | Laney: ^^^ There you go. | 21:36 |
| Laney | looks good to me | 21:36 |
| Laney | thanks | 21:36 |
| cjwatson | psusi: do you have a screenshot or something of the debug messages? | 21:37 |
| psusi | cjwatson: it is the found array one immediately after the scanning for raid devices on... then the scanning on repeats for the ,msdos1 where you get the found two disks with the index one | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | psusi: screenshots are loads easier to deal with than paraphrases | 21:44 |
| psusi | for obvious reasons... how much space should be reserved? it was enough in maverick and it looked like a few thousond sectors when I checked earlier | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | md(4) says: "The common format — known as version 0.90 — has a superblock that is 4K long and is written into a 64K aligned block that starts at least 64K and less than 128K from the end of the device (i.e. to get the address of the superblock round the size of the device down to a multiple of 64K and then subtract 64K)." | 21:45 |
| cjwatson | so it needs to be enough to make the superblock unambiguous | 21:45 |
| psusi | so at least 128k from the end of the disk is where the partition should end? | 21:46 |
| cjwatson | 64K should be enough, given that description (since the superblock will be at least 64K before that) | 21:46 |

| slangasek | LLStarks: we intended to put it on the agenda for UDS for foundations to discuss it, yes - but anything we implement for this cycle is almost certainly going to be dependent on the GSoC project | 21:59 |

| LLStarks | that's the one, robbiew had mentioned a new proposal in the now-defunct apt-sync proposal | 22:01 |
| LLStarks | heck, that's the first time i'm seeing that proposal because it's brand new | 22:01 |
| LLStarks | i was going through the uds schedule yesterday and saw nothing about footprint or debdelta | 22:02 |
| cjwatson | psusi: should be plenty. maybe there's a stale superblock lying around at the end? | 22:05 |
| cjwatson | LLStarks: I think the relevant things from our side will be dealing with whatever Ubuntu-specific infrastructure is required | 22:05 |

| sladen | I'll say it again though; if zsync or debdelta or similiar are going to actually get deployed, they need to have top level management should for forcing it through because of the need to make the equivalent changes to the build and mirror infrastructure at the same time | 22:21 |
| LLStarks | as long as traditional debs and ppas benefit, i'm all for it. | 22:22 |
| LLStarks | *traditional debs can be used | 22:22 |
| LLStarks | dbgsym should implemented as an included repo (toggled off?) or added to the already hefty sources repos. heck, even a command to automagically add it like a ppa would be nice. it wouldn't take much more than a python script or two. | 22:33 |
