hyperaircyphermox: ping.08:19
hyperaircyphermox: it looks like networkmanager's somehow screwing up wpa adhoc connections.08:20
hyperaircyphermox: using ifupdown, the same configuration (based on what networkmanager says in syslog) provided in a wpa_supplicant.conf works.08:21
hyperairjudging by iwlist output, it looks like networkmanager's slapping on an extra wep key.08:22
hyperairremoving the wepkey on the machines suddenly allow them to connect, but iwlist wlan2 scan seems to show an unencrypted adhoc connection available.08:23

ejator the latest built …08:28

hyperairejat: does it work for you?08:29
hyperairejat: it seems that wpa on adhoc is a rather strange beast.08:29
ejathavent try adhoc wpa yet08:29
hyperairyeah well wpa for everything else appears to work, just not wpa adhoc.08:29
ejatowh .. file the bugs already ?08:43

hyperairwithout much attention paid to it08:48

ubottuUbuntu bug 322902 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "incorrect encryption detected when logging on to WPA ad-hoc wireless network" [Medium,Confirmed]08:51
hyperairi think i'll file a new bug.08:52
hyperairand maybe test with oneiric's networkmanager08:52
debfxslangasek: the multiarch Qt causes some fallout10:51
debfxmany projects use the QT_INSTALL_LIBS and QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS qmake variables10:52
debfxso now they use multiarch paths but the packages don't expect that so they FTBFS10:54
debfxKDE's FindQt4 script expects all Qt modules to live in the same path10:55
sveinseCan I override (replace) a faulty file from another package with update-alternatives?14:59
sveinseThe /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth on natty misbehaves, it needs files which are not present and the package doesn't depend on them. Nor do I want them, so I'd rather replace this file with my own for now15:01
infinitysveinse: dpkg-divert is what you want to replace random files and not have them updated on upgrade.15:03
sveinseinfinity: Yes of course. Thanks15:03

=== berlinlogger is now known as ulmlogger
directhexmicahg, it's a known issue, fixed in 2.10.4-2 which was being tested by Laney last i checked17:06
micahgdirecthex: ah, I saw that version in Debian, but it seemed to be on the wrong package according to the changelog17:07
Laneymicahg: it is on both17:26
micahgLaney: ah ,ok17:27
Laney2.0 for upgrades from 2.6 releases, 4.0 for 2.10 ones17:27
Laneybut cheers for the patch17:30
Laneyyou could dupe that bug to my sync request17:31
Laneyinfact /me does that17:32
Laneyso, if someone has time to sync -2 from exp ;-) (#826226)17:38
hyperairsyncpackage!17:58
micahghyperair: that's frowned upon by the archive admins17:59
hyperairo noes.17:59
micahgunless it's a fakesync17:59
hyperairwhat were the issues?18:00
micahgI can't seem to find anything except e-mails about hard freezes, ISTR general usage frowned upon18:03
slangasekdebfx: qt multiarch ftbfses - ok.  How do you think we should deal with this?  My preference would certainly be to push forward, converting all the reverse-dependencies to build for the multiarch path; have you quantified the set of affected packages?18:37
debfxslangasek: it's hard to identify the affected packages. I suspect most libraries that use qmake ftbfs18:47
tumbleweedhyperair, micahg: We documented it in the manpage. An archive-admin (can't remember who) told me on IRC that they didn't approve of it because the procedure was not idential to their tool, and in general they didn't think we should do round-trips through developer's machines for syncs.19:03
tumbleweedalso, the sync button is due any day now ™19:04
debfxslangasek: are you aware that cmake stores absolute paths of the linked libraries in configs, e.g. /usr/share/qzeitgeist/cmake/QZeitgeistExport-noconfig.cmake from libqzeitgeist-dev?19:13
slangasekdebfx: <sigh> is that "cmake stores", or "some libraries that use cmake store"?19:14
debfxslangasek: it seems to be a cmake feature that libraries can use19:17
slangasekwell, it's not a feature that distro packages /should/ be using... just like they shouldn't be shipping .la files with hard-coded references to files from other -dev packages19:19
slangasekdebfx: if there is a consensus among the Kubuntu team that qt4 multiarch support should be reverted, I'll go along with that; but I'm also willing to put in effort to fix these packages up, and much prefer that as an outcome19:22
directhextumbleweed, it does a round-trip through my machine anyway, since generally i syncpackage things i dput to debian myself19:34
slangasekdebfx: I count only 22 candidate packages which build-depend on qt4-qmake and ship files in /usr/lib; that seems manageable19:37
slangasekdebfx: what was the package you ran into this on? (so I can confirm it's in my list)19:37
tumbleweeddirecthex: I know. I don't completly agree with their argument, but I understand the viewpoint, and respect their wishes19:37
tumbleweeddirecthex: syncpackage also doesn't modify any tarball / diff contents, unless it's fakesyncing19:39
debfxslangasek: that cmake feature generally is useful as it allows something like pkgconfig for cmake. though I'm not sure why it needs to save the absolute path of linked libs19:42
slangasekdebfx: yeah, it's not like pkgconfig *because* it's hard-coding paths to unrelated libraries19:43
debfxslangasek: libqt4-dev depends on qt4-qmake so most packages won't explicitly depend on qt4-qmake19:43
slangasekdebfx: ok, will check libqt4-dev also19:43
slangasekyeah, that's a little longer list19:44
debfxI know that these need to be converted: qtwebkit-source, qt-assistant-compat and qscintilla219:45
SpamapSslangasek: are you familiar with the perl transition that went on earlier this cycle, or was that all cjwatson? collectd is FTBFS because it can't find libperl..19:59

ubottuLaunchpad bug 796571 in collectd (Ubuntu) "ftbfs in oneiric (can't find libperl)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79657120:01
debfxslangasek: I guess the only way to identify the affected packages is to test build them20:02
slangasekdebfx: libqt4-dev|qt4-qmake looks to give a bit over 300 candidates, but many of these are definitely false-positives (including the first package I picked from the list and tried to build, appmenu-qt).  So that's too many candidates for me to try to go through by hand, but I'm confident that the number of resulting build failures should still be manageable for the cycle and think we should just work them via the archive rebuild tests20:07
slangasekSpamapS: sorry, don't know anything about the perl transition details20:07
debfxslangasek: is there one scheduled soon?20:08
slangasekdebfx: yes, doko is planning on starting it ASAP20:08
slangasekdebfx: and there hasn't been any runtime breakage reported, right?20:09
debfxthere is some runtime breakage but I think it can be fixed by rebuilding pykde420:10
slangasekoh, what's broken there?20:10
slangasekakonadi also builds fine; so there are my first two test cases20:11
debfxbug #82632120:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 826321 in pykde4 (Ubuntu) "[Oneiric] the PyQt4.QtCore module is version 1 but the PyKDE4.kdeui module requires version -1" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/82632120:13
SpamapSslangasek: alright I'll ping cjwatson about it20:13
debfxI'm not 100% sure it's caused by the multiarch Qt, the error message is somewhat obscure20:14
debfxappmenu-qt probably works fine because it doesn't have an install file (single binary package)20:16
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
slangasekdebfx: ah, amarok FTBFS, because the build system gets confused and tries to link against -lQt4::QtWebKit; maybe fixable by rebuilding qtwebkit-source?21:41
debfxslangasek: yeah, that's the next package that needs to be converted for multiarch since it's a main Qt module anyway21:46
