RAOF7th of July is alpha 2.00:46
RAOFIf you want to break the world, now's a pretty good time.00:47
directhexagreed00:47
cjwatsonyeah, it's OK00:48
cjwatsonI expect Linux 3.0 will be breaking random bits of the world for a while too00:48
directhexcjwatson: the CDs will be oversize until the 2.10 transition is over, FYI00:48
cjwatsonOK00:48
directhexno turning back now :o00:58
directhexcjwatson: it seems i (and i guess the mono group) lack the rights to upload cli-common. can it be added to the packageset?01:10

tkamppeterpitti, hi07:55
pittihello tkamppeter07:55
tkamppeterpitti, about CUPS, I have found out something about the problems with the USB URIs.08:00
tkamppeterpitti, the device IDs are absolutely the same when read out via usblp or via libusb.08:01
pittitkamppeter: right, that's good (expected though); but I thought we don't have the original device IDs?08:02
tkamppeterpitti, the two usb backend versions have an inconsistency. The usblp backend removes a repetition of the manufacturer name in the MDL field of the ID, the libusb backend does not do so.08:02
tkamppeterpitti, this is a bug and can be fixed with a simple patch in the libusb backend.08:03
tkamppeterpitti, this would solve one of the three causes of differences which I showed to you yesterday.08:04
tkamppeterpitti, the other two, having no serial number with usblp and having a serial number with libusb and also having the "interface=1" in the URI are additional features of the libusb approach.08:06
tkamppeterpitti, dropping them would make the URIs absolutely equal, but we should not remove these features.08:07
tkamppeterpitti, a solution which does not require the user to have his printer turned on while updating CUPS would be to let the libusb-based backend be able to use the old URIs and this is not complicated to code, as the  code for that is in the patch which we dropped. I can create a simpler patch with only that code and the code also somewhat improved, to remove a possible cause for a segfault.08:10
pittitkamppeter: I think making this work for printers which are turned on should cover most cases indeed08:11
pittitkamppeter: right, I don't like dropping the interface=1 either, as it would again be an inconsistency with how upstream handles that, and also more error prone08:11
=== smb` is now known as smb
tkamppeterpitti, with the new patch the old URIs will simply be accepted by the new USB backend, allowing the user to print without URI migration. This will help all migrating users, as with using usblp before they could not have two printers of the same model connected when usblp did not reveal the serial numbers and they also could not have used all the interfaces of a multi-interface printer.08:22
tkamppeterpitti, warnings in error_log could tell that the URIs could be improved.08:22
pittithat sounds good08:26
pittiso new printers would use the full URIs, but the old ones keep working08:26

dholbachgood morning08:40
tkamppeterpitti, exactly that, new printers will use the full URIs, but the old ones keep working08:47
tkamppeterpitti, I have updated CUPS now with the new patch. Can you upload it, so that it gets more testing? Thanks.09:26
pittitkamppeter: sure; thanks!09:27

real_atehi all! I was hoping someone here could give me a bit of advice when it comes to shipping packages around into remote repositories09:40
real_ateour company is using ubuntu as a base for our next web application and we're building packages for the update/distribution/installation09:40
real_ateand we are using an automated build machine to build the packages... all this works... the problem is when we are trying to "ship" the packages09:41
real_ateour "repository" is located the VPS that is hosting our website09:41
real_atebut that machine is CentOS09:42
real_ateand is not likely to change. (bummer)09:42
real_ateand we can't make use of reprepro on that server so we are kinda stuck on how to get the packages up to the server and still maintain different "releases" on the server09:43
real_atewe have been building the repo every time from scratch on our build machine and then using scp to *overwrite* the repository. This works ok but because we are not using reprepro to get the packages in there and to maintain the lists and stuff it doen't clean up any unused packages09:45
real_ateand we are starting to get package sprawl, taking up too much disk space.09:45
real_ateCan anyone suggest a better way?  thanks in advance :D09:45
geserreal_ate: can't you use reprepro on the build machine and rsync the "result" to your VPS?09:46
real_ategeser: no because we are dynamically provisioning the build machine on Amazon09:48
seb128if somebody wants to look at the cairo ftfbs that would be nice, I've no clue about it09:48
seb128https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73205652/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-i386.cairo_1.10.2-6ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz09:48
real_ategeser: and for that to work it would have to be : Build Packages -> Copy old repo to the EC2 instance -> use reprepro -> copy back09:49
real_ateand we would be paying for transfer on both ends ;)09:50
geserreal_ate: and the reason for not being able to use reprepro on the VPS are missing "debian" tools?09:50
real_ategeser: yes09:51
real_ategeser: we have found that there is debmirror in CentOS, but that has just the same problem09:51
geserreal_ate: can't you create a small debian (or Ubuntu) chroot on your VPS to run reprepro?09:52
seb128hum, got sidetracked09:52
seb128so cairo fails on09:52
seb128"ccQQ5PqR.ltrans1.o:(.text+0x724): undefined reference to `pow'09:52
seb128collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"09:52
seb128but it has a -lm09:52
seb128it builds on a natty builder or in oneiric with gcc-4.5, not with gcc-4.609:53
real_ategeser: eh...09:53
real_ate*thinks about this one*09:53
seb128changing the -lm order or adding some -L... to the libm.so directory doesn't make it build, not sure what's wrong09:53
seb128so if somebody has a clue of what is wrong I'm not saying no to know why ;-)09:54
real_ategeser: so that would mean that we would be runing the ubuntu binaries/libs under the centos 5.6 kernal right?09:54
geseryes09:54
mjrare there instructions for making alternate install disks (or more spesifically just the PXE kernel/initrd pair would suffice) for 10.04 LTS, or prebuilt ones with backported kernels from later releases?09:55
real_ategeser: ... its an interesting suggestion i have to hand it to you! :D real out of the box thinking09:56
real_ategeser: but we probably won't gain very much on space improvements09:58
slangasekseb128: I believe I have a bug report open against gcc-4.6 already for that09:59
real_atewe would have to dedicate a chunk of the disk to the ubuntu chroot, which we can't afford on this machine.09:59
slangasekseb128: bug #77829209:59

seb128slangasek, oh, thanks!09:59
seb128should -flto be turned off or something?09:59
slangasekseb128: best to ask doko; I only triaged the bug, I don't know what it means :-)10:00
seb128doko_, hey, what do you recommend for that gcc bug breaking cairo? should we wait a gcc fix or workaround it and how?10:01
geserreal_ate: hmm, can you host your reprepro on one of your workstations and rsync the repository to your VPS?10:02
geserreal_ate: how much disk space do you have available on the VPS?10:02
real_ategeser: we can't host the reprepro on any of our workstations. This is exactly the problem we are trying to get aroud10:05
real_ate:D10:06
real_ategeser: we have quite a large amount of stuff that needs to be built and uploaded10:06
real_ateand have a terrible (i mean really terrible) upload speed from the office10:07
real_atewe're talking about 1GB for a full upload of packages, which was taking about 6-12 Hours a pop, depending on the reliability of our connection10:08
real_ategeser: and its not a matter of not having enough disk space on the VPS, the problem is that we always deal with large files like this and if the repo can't be cleaned things will get out of control very quickly10:09
doko_seb128: either disable lto, or don't use --as-needed10:12
seb128doko_, ok, I will turn off --as-needed for now I think, it's the easier to do, thanks10:13

chrisccoulsondirecthex, how familiar are you with the moonlight plugin? and do you know what the mozilla-specific parts of that plugin are used for? (ie, everything in plugin/firefox in the source tree)10:56
directhexchrisccoulson, i believe that stuff is largely obsolete nowadays, given the steady abandonment of the xpcom apis used by that code, in modern firefox10:57
directhexchrisccoulson, best bet is to speak to shana on gimpnet for a sane explanation10:57
chrisccoulsondirecthex, ok, thanks. i'm not sure if you saw https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-May/033229.html , but i'm trying to figure out whether we can keep moonlight but just drop the mozilla-specific parts10:58
chrisccoulsonas it's not really much code at all10:59
chrisccoulsoni'll find shana and ask though. thanks!10:59
directhexchrisccoulson, i didn't see that. i'd definitely talk to andreia though. let me know what she says10:59
chrisccoulsonthanks11:00
directhexchrisccoulson, relatedly, i know she did some work on gluezilla which is also affected by xulrunner removal. worth bringing that up too.11:01
chrisccoulsondirecthex, ok, will do. thanks11:02
directhexi think gluezilla was updated to work okay with ff4, but segfaults on garbage disposal due to some threading problem. personally i wanted a move to use webkit-sharp for the system.windows.forms.webbrowser control emulation (which is what gluezilla does) since it tends to break less frequently for embedding circumstances than moz11:04
chrisccoulsondirecthex, yeah. and mozilla embedding is going to be break quite frequently in the future. do you know if gluezilla uses gtkmozembed?11:05
tkamppeterpitti, thanks for the upload.11:06
directhexchrisccoulson, historically? probably. hence the desire to dump it for webkit-sharp.11:06
chrisccoulsondirecthex, ah, ok. the reason i asked is that gtkmozembed has actually been removed entirely now - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.embedding/c_NMcO-N8wo/discussion11:06
tkamppeterI have a problem with USB, seems that my Lenovo laptop is not compatible with the Oneiric kernel. Even directly after reboot "sudo lsusb -vvv" hangs and on the system console I get several message "usb 7-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110" and after some minutes I get "hup 7-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1". Anyone has an idea what happens?11:09

cjwatsondoko_: thanks11:37
cjwatsonmjr: is this an Ubuntu kernel from -proposed or -updates or something, or a custom one?11:37
mjran lts-backport kernel would be fine11:41
mjrjust need a bit of extra hardware support at install-time11:43
mjr(extra as in supported in newer kernels out of the box)11:44
cjwatsonmjr: basically you need to get the debian-installer source package, change build/config/<architecture>.cfg to have the kernel version + ABI number you want to use, and debuild -b11:48
mjrokay, sounds like a proper starting point, thanks11:49
cjwatsonif it's not in one of the sources d-i looks in by default, you might need to run 'util/gen-sources.list.udeb' in build/, then copy sources.list.udeb to sources.list.udeb.local and edit it11:49

seb128cjwatson, ok16:25

cjohnstonThat worked.. I have wireless again.. Thanks cjwatson16:29
jelmercjwatson, hi, still there?16:41
cjwatsonjelmer: hi16:42
jelmercjwatson: I proposed an SRU for bzr, with ~ubuntu-sru subscribed to the merge proposal16:43
jelmercjwatson: Is that sufficient, or should I find a related but and subscribe ~ubuntu-sru to that as well?16:43
cjwatsonI have no idea how the tracker will cope with that16:44
cjwatsonyou want pitti for that16:44
jelmercjwatson: ah, thanks16:44
jelmerpitti: hi16:44
seb128jelmer, they work the reverse way16:51
seb128jelmer, ubuntu-sru doesn't do sponsoring, they review things in the queue and go back to the bug to read it and accept the upload16:52
seb128jelmer, so if you need your work to be uploaded you should subscribe ubuntu-sponsors16:52
seb128jelmer, ideally you would need a bug with the merge proposal also, the sru tracking list bugs and you need a place where testers can comment on whether the update works or not16:53
cjwatsonapw: so, notwithstanding your comments in -meeting, I think at least fixing eglibc would be a pretty good plan.  how about http://paste.ubuntu.com/623518/?  tested out of context ...16:53
cjwatson(in particular I think we should resolve eglibc problems before accepting the kernel through NEW)16:54
apwcjwatson, absolutly on the NEW thing16:54
apwcjwatson, i am not sure that $(( works with 0NN as i think that switches it into octal16:54
jelmerseb128: bzr has a microrelease exception; there will usually be zero or more bug reports related16:55
apwi t16:55
cjwatsonapw: I'm not relying on that16:55
apws/^\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\([^.0-9]\|$\)/\1.0\2/;16:55
cjwatsonthe effect of the added first sed statement is to transform 3.0-0.1 into 3.0.0-0.116:56
apwdoes that not take 2.6.39 -> 2.6.039 ?16:56
cjwatsonno, because [^.0-9] doesn't match in the relevant place there16:56
seb128jelmer, ok, well pitti left for the w.e already he will be back on tuesday, but from what I can say usually they need at least one bug to list on the tracker, so if your update close no launchpad bug you should open one about the new version16:56
apwahh misses the ^, re's suck for reading16:56
cjwatsonI did test that bit :)16:56
seb128jelmer, so you have at least one bug reference in the changelog for the tracker16:56

cjwatson3000016:57
apwcjwatson, that look sane then yes, though there is another place it errors due to format16:57
cjwatsonok, where's that?16:57
cjwatsonoh yes, I see16:58
apwcjwatson, about line 286 of the preinst16:58
seb128cjwatson, "  * desktop-o-gtk3-gnome3: ubiquity mostly converted to PyGI, though blocked on porting a custom widget (timezone map)"16:58
jelmerseb128: I have that, but do I subscribe ubuntu-sru to all the related bugs, to just the MP?16:58
cjwatsonI wonder where the built-in assumptions in glibc it's referring to are16:58
seb128ev, cjwatson: dunno who is working on that but did you talk to mterry about it? he wanted to do a C library for that widget and has been discussing that upstream with the GNOME guys16:59
cjwatsonseb128: I was just reporting what ev said16:59
seb128ev, cjwatson: if that's done the lib could probably just build a gir to use16:59
apwcjwatson, i was trying to find them, but ... not found as yet16:59
cjwatsonapw: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-sysdep.c16:59
seb128cjwatson, ok, I will check with ev, thanks16:59
evah yes, I hadn't considered that16:59
evstupidly16:59
evwill go down that road instead16:59
evthanks seb12817:00
mterryev, cjwatson, seb128: upstream is going to do some sort of map library, but it likely won't have our geonames timezone completion logic.  So we can patch it in when they have something17:00
cjwatsonso that looks to me as though glibc will treat 3.0 as 3.0.017:00
apwcjwatson, that would be appropriate17:00
apwcjwatson, yeah concur that it does assume all and any part is 8 bits max, but the build only checks that 3rd17:01
apwcjwatson, so are you going to fix those two in the package ?  so i don't need to look any more ?17:01
cjwatsonright.  I think it's reasonable enough for it to only check the last one, which is the only one people typically fiddle with17:01
cjwatsonyeah, I think I can deal if that's OK with you, but review is good17:02
apwcjwatson, yep let me have the changes and i can review np17:02
cjwatsoncan't easily test it here but don't want to have to fix it twice17:02
apwi can cirtainly test it if i can figure out how to un-half install the broken version on my machine here17:02
cjwatsoner, you might need to fiddle the new preinst into place in your .deb using ar and tar17:03
apwi upgraded with a 3,0-0.1 kernel installed on my oeniric and its half installed and refusing due to that change17:03
apwcjwatson, ouch ... ok17:03
cjwatsonI can provide instructions once I'm finished17:03
apwwhere is the .deb its using in archive ? ... ok will await those :)17:03

apwcjwatson, well its progressing17:14

apwany idea where the lightdm/gdm choice is made ?17:21
apwahh found it /etc/X11/default-display-manager17:23
apwanyone got working networking on oneiric ?17:40
tumbleweedyes17:41
apwcjwatson, procps seems to be easy to fix, simple one line change.  I've pushed a bzr branch with it on, but as its a 3,.0 (quilt) we're back to the question as to whether one should have the .pc etc in there; perhaps you could review: lp:~apw/procps/kernel-version-fix17:46
cjwatsonapw: there's no question, you match whatever the branch currently does17:47
apwcjwatson, well its the importer, so it does what it wants17:47
cjwatsonyes.  so match it.17:47
cjwatsonI think your commit matches its behaviour except that it doesn't normally add the .timestamp file, IIRC17:48
cjwatson(for better or worse)17:48
cjwatsonand actually it doesn't add .pc/.quilt_patches or .pc/.quilt_series either17:48
apwahh ok, i'll delete those17:48
cjwatsonI think that's a discrepancy between what happens when you apply patches with quilt and what happens when dpkg-source unpacks the package on a system without quilt installed17:49
