DavieyIs anyone able to fix the sponsorship queue?09:26
tkamppeterpitti, hi09:26
pittihey tkamppeter09:27
tkamppeterpitti, it is about the color management Blueprint.09:28
tkamppeterpitti, I have done the needed packaging and MIR work as far as I could in the moment.09:28
pittiwe currently have some trouble syncing colord from Debian, as we don't support tar.xz tarballs yet; but we can just reupload that as tar.bz2 or tar.gz for ubuntu09:29
tkamppeterpitti, I have updated argyll and libiccc, now with one source package (argyll), but it is still in the NEW queue due to the new binary packages. To get also the MIR (still TODO) done before FF we need to get it through the NEW queue quickly.09:30
tkamppeterpitti, does this mean that we do not get colord in in time? Or do we need to have our own independent package for one cycle until we get a new dpkg in the next cycle?09:31
pittitkamppeter: it's a launchpad issue, not dpkg; RAOF can just reupload it in time for FF09:32
tkamppeterpitti, we also need to sync in the new package icc-profiles from Debian non-free to Multiverse and then MIR it into Restricted.09:33
tkamppeterpitti, is it a problem to do the MIRs and rebuild CUPS, Foomatic, Ghostscript, and g-c-c with colord support after FF?09:34
pittithis is a new feature, so it'll need a FFE, yes09:34
seb128well we should be able to land that before ff09:35
seb128like the package is ready, I will ping mterry and didrocks for review09:35
tkamppeterpitti, can there be done one FFE bug report for the whole color management stack?09:35
pittitkamppeter: icc-profiles is already in oneiric/multiverse09:35
seb128then rebuilds are easy to di09:35
seb128do09:35
pittitkamppeter: yes, with individual tasks for the affected sources09:35
tkamppeterpitti, so icc-profiles is ready for a MIR?09:35
pittiseb128: well, you probably need an additional configure switch, new build dep, and testing09:36
pittitkamppeter: yes09:36
seb128pitti, right, well for g-c-c that seems doable09:37
seb128not speaking about the other part of the stack09:37
pittiyes09:37

tkamppeterpitti, there is also a small, trivial printer driver package in the NEW queue, rastertosag-gdi (bug 700141), which I want to get into main and two other printer driver MIRs: c2esp for Kodak inkjets (bug 821940) and ptouch-driver for Brother label printers (bug 821943).

CoreStyxhello, read a lot, but what is the truth: Bug, Feature, etc. ? mdadm -> RAID -> /dev/md0 ->on top lvm volume -> udevd-work : inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/md0,10)failed, No such file or directory10:34
cjwatsonthat sounds like you should file a bug10:40
cjwatsonI don't see how it could possibly be a feature10:40
cjwatsonRAID on LVM is fairly unusual (though not unheard of; I do know of somebody else using it, although not on a current Ubuntu system), so I expect it's simply poorly tested10:41
CoreStyxsome people say it´s a bug, but if it would be possilbe to instruct udev to leave /dev/md0 alone instead install the watcher on /dev/mapper/lvofmd010:41
CoreStyxbut I can´t try it because I don´t know where to start on this10:42
cjwatsonI don't know what the proper fix is, and wouldn't like to guess on the fly10:42
cjwatsonas I say, I recommend you file a bug10:42
CoreStyxok ... because a bug need to be proofed as a bug... and as i try to say... if somebody can tell me where to start remapping udev it would be a fix/workaround without having a developer look into it10:44
CoreStyxbut ... no problem... where do I file a bug10:44
cjwatsonhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs10:45
CoreStyxthx10:45
cjwatsonin this case I have a suspicion that providing a workaround is about as difficult as providing a fix10:46
debfxcjwatson: is there a way to avoid having xterm pulled onto the kubuntu cd? I think the problem is that xorg (seeded in desktop-common) depends on xterm | x-terminal-emulator10:46
debfxand konsole (which provides x-terminal-emulator) is seeded in kubuntu-common10:47
cjwatsondebfx: can't answer without investigating, but I'll have a look10:47
cjwatsondebfx: is this a new problem?10:48
debfxcjwatson: no, I just noticed it because xterm gained a .desktop file10:49
cjwatsonI expect fixing it would require xorg to be moved to each of the flavour-specific desktop/kubuntu-common/whatever seeds10:50
cjwatsondoesn't the fallback X session make some specific use of xterm though?10:50
* cjwatson is reluctant to rearrange that himself rather than letting the X people do it10:51
RAOFcjwatson: I'm not as familiar with failsafeX as bryceh is, but I don't *think* it uses xterm.10:57
tjaaltonthe dependency comes from debian10:59
tjaaltonxorg is just a convenience metapackage11:00
debfxxinit also pulls in xterm11:01
RAOFBecause _that_ has a default behaviour of starting an xterm, yes.11:01
tjaaltondebfx: so you don't want to see {u,}xterm in kde menus?11:02
debfxtjaalton: I want to drop the package from the cd unless there is a good reason not to11:04
cjwatsonI don't think I meant failsafeX; I think I meant one of the sessions that gdm or something used to offer11:06
cjwatsonperhaps not relevant any more11:06
tjaaltongdm ships xsessions/xterm.desktop11:06
tjaaltonthough it doesn't depend on xterm..11:07
tjaaltondebfx: that's hard :)11:07
cjwatsonof course there's nothing wrong with seeding xterm in ubuntu.oneiric/desktop or something if we want11:07
cjwatsonthe basic problem here is that germinate doesn't (and can't be allowed to) know about what's in kubuntu-common when it's processing desktop-common11:08
cjwatsonit will process dependencies in desktop-common as if kubuntu-common didn't exist; if that means that xterm is the most obvious package to select to satisfy xorg's dependency, it will do so11:09

berdariohello13:12
berdarioI tried to join ubuntu-iso and ubuntu-boot13:13
berdariobut it seem that nobody's around there13:13
berdarioI'm trying to look into information into an ubuntu bug13:13
berdarioI'm not into #ubuntu-bugs because this has already been reported and confirmed (for the wrong package, actually...)13:14
berdariohttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/774089?comments=all13:14
ubottuUbuntu bug 774089 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Booting fails 3 times, works every fourth time after new install of Natty Narwhal amd64 on Macbook Pro" [Undecided,Confirmed]13:14
berdariobasically, I'm interested in this, since a friend of mine got this, and I was trying to help him13:15
berdarioit seems that at least 21 people (surely more) got their macbooks half-bricked by installing ubuntu13:15
berdario(there're also some youtube videos that document this problem)13:15
berdariobasically... I'm here for 2 things:13:16
berdarioget in contact with whoever decided to integrate efibootmgr into ubuntu, understand why, and eventually... if possible... try to fix the bug (I don't have the hardware here, but maybe I could arrange to meet my friend quite soon)13:18
berdarioand the 2nd thing, especially if it isn't possible to fix... prompt someone to look into the bug13:18
berdariobecause people are requesting that the release notes should be updated with it, and to warn people, it seems a quite reasonable request13:19
berdarioabout efibootmgr:13:19
berdarioit's a software developed by dell's Matt Domsch13:20
berdarioapparently it leverages upon elilo13:20
berdariothis alone, seems strange to me13:20
berdarioI mean: ubuntu has always used grub by default (I even tried to use grub-efi and it was working fine)13:21
berdariomixing elilo and grub seems like asking for trouble imho, but maybe I'm missing something13:21
berdarioon top of that, the last update to efibootmgr13:22
berdariohas been on 200813:22
berdariothe strange thing is that efibootmgr has been included in ubuntu (and only the 64bit cd) right now13:22
berdarioit's present in the 11.04 disc13:22
berdariobut it's absent from the 10.04.3 disc13:22
berdarioso, I guess the decision to integrate it has been taken quite recently13:23

berdariodo you know who I can refer to for decisions concerning mac support?13:31
ScottKFor EFI install issues, probably in #ubuntu-installer.13:32
ScottKAnd IIRC, you're right.  11.04 was the first release to support EFI for boot on Macs.13:33

infinityjml: You might also want to poke doko and/or ScottK about getting your patch into Debian.14:18
infinityjml: (The patch itself looks good and obviously correct to me, if I wasn't running to breakfast, I'd sponsor it to Ubuntu for you, but it may as well go to Debian anyway)14:19
jmlinfinity: thanks. I'll do that.14:19
ipchowdy… can someone point me to more information re: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core ?14:23
ScottKjml: I've asked the dh_python2 developer (POX) to look at it.  Assuming he agrees (I'd be surprised if he didn't), I'll commit it to the Debian VCS for the package.14:24
ipcthe procedure mentions unpacking 'Ubuntu Core' but not where to download the archive14:24

cjwatsonhallyn: does http://paste.ubuntu.com/661171/ look right to you?  I have a sync from Debian I'd like to do (for WPA support in d-i) that requires libnl3, and it seems like least paperwork if we just convert everything in main to libnl3 in one go ...14:48
cjwatsonhallyn: I can't really test that, but it does at least build14:48
ScottKjml: If the branch had been against the current python-defaults head in Debian, that would have made it easier, but it's a bit unreasonable for me to expect you to know that.  Including a proposed debian/changelog entry would have been good.14:49
ScottKPersonally I like using diff and patch better than VCS merges, but eventually I'll get over it, I'm sure.14:49
jmlScottK: you would have had to change the 'who' bit of the changelog if I had provided such an entry, right?14:49
ScottKjml: If you had, I probably would have left your name on it rather than mentioning you in the text of the entry.14:50

brycehseems like a loosey goosey process to me but whatever :-)21:44
micahgwhen people subscribe AAs directly, it usually gets kicked back to the sponsor queue unless the AA is feeling benevolent21:45

natschilGood day. Is there an easy way of making a script/ubuntu package for ubuntu that will make changes to a script that is in /lib persistent even if the script is updated by the package system?22:08
RAOFnatschil: It sounds like you're after dpkg-divert22:17
brycehmicahg_, how about sync requests that are pulling new packages into ubuntu?  Do those just get passed on to -archive or do they need further processing/review?22:20
natschilRAOF: cool. but doesn't that simply lock a file completely for any updates? though maybe that is what I want.22:20
brycehmicahg_, e.g. #82155022:20
micahg_bryceh: same deal, make sure the package is something we want in this cycle and make sure it's buildable22:20
micahg_bryceh: and that's already in oneiric :)22:21
ajmitchI think the point of that sync is just so that it autosyncs next time22:23
brycehajmitch, won't it require a fakesync?22:23
micahg_yep, but most of those aren't worth doing at this point22:23
ajmitchbryceh: only if the orig.tar.gz is different22:24
micahg_i.e. explicitly filing bugs for those syncs, not processing existing ones filed22:24
micahg_unless there's something else interesting in the Debian upload22:27
brycehmicahg_, ok so you think these types of sync requests (with no functional changes other than the version number) should be wontfixed?22:28
micahg_bryceh: no, you can process them, but inform the requestor that efforts are best spent elsewhere (the time to do them are before DIF since they have no affect afterwards)22:29
Laneyyou might as well ack them if someone has taken the time to check, but advise the submitter that it could have waited until next cycle (and if they want they can put a note on mom to indicate they have checked)22:29
ajmitchhopefully by then they'll be syncable via the LP UI/API22:30
micahg_it took a while for me to understand the reasoning, but now I agree with it22:33
brycehalrighty, thanks22:34
natschilRAOF: thanks for the help, I think I'll use dpkg-divert22:40
ionCool, aptitude segfaults now. :-)22:47
RAOFOh, it's missing appropriate dependencies for the apt transition?22:49
ionIt seems libapt-something was updated but apt was held back. aptitude segfaulted after that upgrade. When i upgraded apt with ‘apt-get install apt’, that removed aptitude.22:50
slangasekso a no-longer-installed package segfaults?22:51
ionaptitude safe-upgrade: apt was held back, libapt-something was updated, aptitude stayed installed. After that: aptitude segfaulted. apt-get install apt: apt was updated and aptitude was removed.22:52

cjwatsonslangasek: all the libnl reverse-build-deps are in progress22:58
cjwatsonslangasek: I asked for that change because WPA support in netcfg depends on a new wpasupplicant version which switched to libnl3, and that's a pretty high-value thing22:59
cjwatsonI think we can manage it22:59
slangasekcjwatson: ok, no worries - just hadn't heard anything prior to seeing it show up in the components-mismatches list, and it was worrying to see that it was a separate source package23:11
cjwatsonslangasek: libnl3 ought to supersede libnl in main; I'm not sure why it's separate in Debian, but there were only eight reverse build-deps so I'm working to make sure we can just swap it23:14
cjwatson(presumably because there are some API changes as well as just ABI)23:15
* slangasek nods23:19
