| photon | hi. I am scanning through archive.ubuntulinux.org, and I noticed that some .deb files are fairly small (just a few kb), like http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/u/ubuntu-restricted-extras/. why is that? shouldn't they be megabytes given how much software is in them? | 01:46 |
| === rextsai is now known as chihchun | ||
| gusnan | photon, those are probably pseudo-packages, not containing much information themself, but just dependencies on other packages with the actual stuff. | 01:52 |
| TheMuso | That package in partiular is a metapackage, which pulls in other packages. | 01:53 |
| photon | I looked into the .deb archive and in /DEBIAN/control, there are only recommendations, not dependencies, and even those are far less than what apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras would install. so I'm confused | 01:53 |
| photon | maybe I'm looking int he wrong file. | 01:54 |
| TheMuso | Yes, recommends are installed by default, so the recommended packages get installed. | 01:55 |
| TheMuso | It means that you can remove one or more of the recommended packages, and the rest of the packages don't get removed with them. | 01:55 |

| SpamapS | broder: done | 07:39 |
| dholbach | pitti, it seems like we need to bring libgdamm4.0 back if we want glom buildable at all | 07:41 |
| pitti | dholbach: ah, glom isn't in Debian, so they could remove it | 07:41 |
| dholbach | yep | 07:42 |
| pitti | I guess someone can reupload it | 07:42 |
| broder | SpamapS: thanks :) | 07:42 |
| dholbach | pitti, ok - I'll have a look - seems like glom does not build - maybe a more recent version will fix it | 07:42 |
| micahg | dholbach: upstream commented as such, but one of the build depends was removed | 07:44 |
| pitti | presumably that very from above, libgdamm | 07:44 |
| dholbach | I think upstream has a PPA - I'll have a look how much of their work we can reuse | 07:44 |
| dholbach | I'll let you know | 07:44 |
| micahg | sorry, missed that somehow... | 07:44 |
| dholbach | pitti, maybe glom should be part of the please-update-these-desktop-packages overview, so we don't let old versions rot in the archive again :) | 07:45 |
| pitti | nah, it's in universe | 07:45 |
| pitti | a lot of universe packages are like that unfortunately :/ | 07:45 |

| Laney | current problem is jsogo refusing to maintain goocanvas properly | 08:44 |
| dholbach | Laney, what's the issue? | 08:46 |
| Laney | the current releases need a newer goocanvasmm which needs a newer goocanvas | 08:52 |
| dholbach | ah ok, for now, I guess I just get 1.18.3 into Ubuntu which is the latest stable and builds | 08:54 |
| dholbach | for P we can try something new | 08:54 |
| dholbach | is it hard to get a new goocanvas into Debian? | 08:54 |
| Laney | kind of is if the maintainer doesn't want to do it | 08:54 |

| doko | siretart, ping | 12:11 |
| Sweetshark | ScottK: It just went past the critical corner, so its looking good. | 12:11 |
| mvo | cjwatson: is that reproducable? | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | mvo: I reproduced it after seeing a user report of the same thing, which he's experienced both yesterday and today | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | mvo: haven't yet figured out how to reproduce it from the command line | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | regfree crash suggests memory corruption of some kind, but getting valgrind into d-i is ... painful | 12:14 |
| mvo | cjwatson: right, but its reproducable by installing kubuntu in a vm with the altnerative CD? | 12:14 |
| cjwatson | that's all I did, yes | 12:15 |
| mvo | thanks, I will rsync me updated images and try it out then | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | I would expect Ubuntu to do the same thing; we haven't got to the flavour-specific parts of installation at this point | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | I just made a 10G disk image and did a use-entire-disk install | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | en_GB locale, otherwise all defaults | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | will try it under strace now | 12:17 |
| mvo | cjwatson: great, the rsync is running. you did the install inside kvm I assume? is there a chance to get a slightly better readable backtrace then from the screenshot ? | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | kvm yes; maybe, will try hacking about at base-installer | 12:17 |
| mvo | cjwatson: I can poke the code in the meantime, there were some changes in the cdrom autodetect code recently (~4 weeks ago) that might be the issue | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | mvo: I think this is recent though, I didn't see it when I was preparing the partman-crypto fix this guy was testing | 12:19 |
| cjwatson | mvo: I wonder if it's something to do with the recent eglibc upload (and hope it's not) | 12:19 |
| cjwatson | I think the backtrace must be being printked or something; I guess I'll just leave it on a sacrificial console | 12:21 |

| cjwatson | that's attaching strace to bootstrap-base.postinst after run-debootstrap has been forked | 12:36 |

| cjwatson | mvo: better screenshot attached | 13:38 |

| cjwatson | * debian/patches/localedata/locale-C.diff: Don't include ISO14651 | 13:39 |
| cjwatson | collation rules in C.UTF-8 locale. | 13:39 |

| mvo | cjwatson: *ick* it doesn't? | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | mvo: indeed; that's why I was suspecting that localedata change | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | if I can recreate it in unstable, I'll ask debian-glibc about it | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | there's no rationale for the change | 13:56 |

| doko | njpatel, then why assign it to eglibc, both ubuntu and upstream? | 14:38 |

| slangasek | cjwatson: where's the cronjob that syncs that? I have trouble figuring out how things get to that directory | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: cocoplum:~lp_archive/dak/cron.sync | 16:16 |

| bambee | Hi, plymouth is not shown at all on startup, except if I remove "vt.handoff=7" manually (also with CTRL+ALT+F1 during the boot process, it works). it works fine on reboot/shutdown. Any ideas ? | 16:20 |
| bambee | the system does not switch back to vt 1... it's strange :\ | 16:20 |
| slangasek | how do you mean, "does not switch back to vt1"? | 16:21 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: so, the "wait for interfaces" change has ruffled some feathers. It seems that d-i always leaves behind a permanent 'auto ethX' after installation.. which means a lot of people are upgrading and then seeing a 2 minute delay | 16:26 |
| bambee | slangasek: I just wonder why I don't see anything (nouveau and kms work) | 16:28 |
| bambee | if I type "CTRL+ALT+F1" during the boot process, I see plymouth, otherwise I see nothing | 16:29 |
| === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] | ||
| slangasek | SpamapS: wait for interfaces> yep, caught that the other day in the mail trail. Do you think it's feasible to clean that up on upgrade? Or maybe we should exclude interfaces that are configured as merely auto/dhcp in favor of checking for NM running? | 16:37 |
| slangasek | bambee: you see plymouth during the boot process only when typing Ctrl+Alt+F1, *and* vt.handoff=7 is being passed? | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | I still think NM is a red herring; if NM was installed, then 'auto' lines would've been removed at the end of installation | 16:38 |
| slangasek | oh? | 16:38 |
| ScottK | slangasek: If it's relevant, bambee is on Kubuntu and it's not very good about transitions being invisible. | 16:38 |
| slangasek | ScottK: well, so far we're discussing flavor-neutral bits of the boot | 16:39 |
| ScottK | OK. | 16:39 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: ok so there's already some intelligence there in NM's postinst? | 16:39 |
| ScottK | Just mentioning it because he may be seeing stuff that's normally not visible in Ubuntu. | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: I gave specifics in the bug | 16:39 |
| SpamapS | oh I haven't caught up yet | 16:39 |
| * SpamapS reads | 16:40 | |
| bambee | slangasek: exactly | 16:40 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: do you have any suggestions on where to look next with bambee's handoff issue? Sounds like something falling down in the junction between grub, kernel and plymouth | 16:40 |
| bambee | an interesting info: it works just fine with {kubuntu,ubuntu}-11.10-desktop-amd64 (the livecd), and it does not work on my system | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | maybe plymouth:debug=file:/run/plymouth.debug (assuming oneiric) | 16:42 |
| slangasek | bambee: could you try booting with that option, plus vt.handoff=7? | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | plymouth is supposed to display on vt7, not vt1 | 16:43 |
| slangasek | indeed | 16:43 |
| bambee | slangasek: sure | 16:43 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: I agree 100% with the position that a change in behavior at this change would be more harmful than good. I wonder if we can notify users in plymouth that the system is waiting for network configuration so, if nothing else, we know how to tell them to fix it when they report a slow boot. | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | (because otherwise the smooth transition from grub to plymouth wouldn't work) | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: that sounds straightforward and a good idea, yes | 16:43 |
| slangasek | bambee: two major differences between the live CD and an installed system are the boot loader used, and the fact that plymouth is always started in the initramfs for a liveCD | 16:43 |
| SpamapS | that should be easy to do in failsafe.conf | 16:44 |
| slangasek | bambee: you could eliminate one possible source of this noise by installing the cryptsetup package on your installed system, which will cause plymouth to be started from initramfs on the installed system | 16:44 |
| bambee | slangasek: trying with both (option+package), bbl | 16:46 |
| bambee | slangasek: well, nothing is generated in /run (/run/plymouth.debug does not exist) | 16:52 |
| bambee | /proc/cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.0.0-11-generic root=UUID=5b2e8c3c-eacf-494b-bb21-2363d0d235f2 ro plymouth:debug=file:/run/plymouth.debug quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 16:52 |
| slangasek | bambee: blast; that's somewhat consistent with my own experiences trying to get output from plymouth in oneiric, but I was hoping cjwatson had the magic recipe (/run vs. /var/log) | 16:53 |
| slangasek | bambee: so I'll take some time to hack on that today and see if I can figure out what's going on with logging. In the meantime, can you try installing cryptsetup? | 16:54 |
| slangasek | (and rebooting, of course) | 16:54 |
| bambee | slangasek: sure, trying | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | maybe try /run/initramfs/plymouth.debug instead | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | historically I used /dev/.initramfs/plymouth.debug, actually, but nowadays somewhere under /run ought to work | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | I haven't debugged plymouth since the /run transition | 16:55 |
| slangasek | I thought the log only got written to disk when /etc/init/plymouth-log.conf fired | 16:55 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: one last question.. does d-i call ifblacklist_migrate.sh ? I only see it called in n-m's postinst configure if we're coming from before 0.6.5-0ubuntu12 .. | 16:56 |
| bambee | cjwatson: trying too | 16:57 |
| bambee | reboot | 16:57 |
| * SpamapS can probably c/o d-i and confirm that if you don't know off the top of your head ;) | 16:57 | |
| dobey | hrmm, no patch pilot atm? | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: yes, it does, that was why I mentioned it | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: netcfg | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | ./finish-install.d/55netcfg-network-manager:11: sh /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ifblacklist_migrate.sh | 16:57 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: ahh ok, thanks. :) | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: true | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: but that should happen as soon as the rootfs is writable | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: actually, I don't think that applies to the debug log | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | plymouth-log is about /var/log/boot.log | 16:59 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: ok - I thought it did, I'll have a look at the code a bit later to confirm. Anyway, it doesn't seem to work for me at all, possibly because the job races plymouth-stop | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | which interestingly appears to date from 2011-07-13 on mmy system, hmm | 17:00 |
| slangasek | maybe we should make 'plymouth quit' do a last-ditch attempt to write the logs | 17:00 |
| dobey | hrmm | 17:00 |
| dobey | should maybe ubuntu-sponsors be subscribed to all merge proposals into lp:~ubuntu-branches owned branches? | 17:01 |
| SpamapS | dobey: effectively sponsors are, because they show up in the sponsorship queue | 17:01 |
| ahasenack | SpamapS: hi, finally finished the other ubuntu releases for #813477, can you upload the missing Maverick and Natty packages? | 17:02 |
| dobey | SpamapS: do they get spammed by LP for them though? or do they just show up on the queue page? :) | 17:02 |
| SpamapS | dobey: the queue. I don't think I'd want to read all of ubuntu-sponsors' bugmail ;) | 17:03 |
| SpamapS | ahasenack: ACK, will take a look later today, in the middle of a few things. | 17:04 |
| ahasenack | SpamapS: ok, thanks | 17:04 |
| bambee | slangasek: even with cryptsetup installed, it does not work | 17:04 |
| dobey | SpamapS: well this isn't bug mail, it's code review mail. :) | 17:05 |
| slangasek | bambee: thanks, that eliminates one source of difference. The remaining major difference is the bootloader itself, which again points to the grub+kernel vt handoff | 17:05 |
| bambee | cjwatson: plymouth produces no debug outputs here :\ (even with /var/log) | 17:05 |
| dobey | SpamapS: hopefully it's not as bad as bugs mail | 17:05 |
| SpamapS | dobey: the queue is, IMO, a much better way to approach it, as things are sorted by their age.. so right away you know which thing has been sitting in the queue the longest | 17:06 |
| SpamapS | email is an interrupt driven system and favors the squeaky wheels | 17:06 |
| bambee | slangasek: oh! I still have a 2.6.38 kernel here (just in case) | 17:07 |
| bambee | I could test with the 2.6.38.... | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | bambee: "even with /var/log"> doesn't make sense | 17:07 |
| dholbach | can somebody please get the glom packages out of binary new? | 17:08 |
| slangasek | bambee: sure, that may also be a useful data point - even in the event that it works with the older kernel, this doesn't necessarily point to a kernel bug, but it at least gives us a place to look (i.e., git-bisect) | 17:09 |
| dobey | SpamapS: i take it you mean https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+queue ? | 17:11 |

| cjwatson | bambee: the X11 plugin isn't intended to be used there | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | bambee: so that part is a red herring | 18:14 |
| bambee | oh ok | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | bambee: hmm. there really isn't anything obvious (to me) there. it looks as though plymouth's internal logic is doing all the right things, but it's just talking to nouveau wrongly :-( | 18:14 |
| bambee | so , is it a problem with nouveau ? don't compute it worked just fine on natty with linux-image-2.6.38... and the kernel is still the same... | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | I wouldn't expect so; presumably it's dealing with X just fine | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | plymouth has a variety of horrible code to talk to each of the different framebuffer implementations in different ways, since at the time we first put that all together they all had different requirements | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | it seems quite plausible that nouveau's requirements have changed and our plymouth package hasn't kept up | 18:17 |

| SpamapS | hmm, how does one make strings in upstart jobs translatable? | 21:14 |
| JanC | SpamapS: what do you mean by "strings in upstart jobs"? | 21:40 |
| SpamapS | JanC: I want to display a message to users when the system is waiting on something for a long time. | 21:53 |
| JanC | that doesn't sound like an upstart issue, but something service-specific? | 21:55 |
| SpamapS | JanC: no, its one of upstart's jobs | 21:55 |
| SpamapS | but even if it were, say, apache's.. how would one make it translatable? | 21:56 |
| SpamapS | the gettext cli program seems a likely candidate | 21:58 |
| JanC | in general, daemon/service-specific messages can only be translated "inside" the daemon, but for anything outside that gettext is an obvious tool of course | 22:00 |
| broder | SpamapS: wouldn't that be more plymouth's job? | 22:11 |
| SpamapS | $PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting for network configuration..." | 22:13 |
| SpamapS | broder: not that I can see | 22:13 |
| broder | SpamapS: how does, uh, mountall handle this? | 22:14 |
| SpamapS | the burden lies on the origin of the literal string | 22:14 |
| SpamapS | broder: _() | 22:14 |
| * SpamapS assumes | 22:14 | |
| broder | i feel like i've seen a way to access gettext from sh... | 22:14 |
| slangasek | SpamapS: by "make them translatable", do you mean "get them somewhere that they will be translated", or "get the right translated string into the upstart job"? | 22:15 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: both. :) | 22:16 |
| slangasek | the gettext commandline program should do for the latter | 22:16 |
| slangasek | plymouth message --text=$(gettext -d upstart-jobs "Waiting for network configuration...") | 22:17 |
| slangasek | or gettext -d upstart, if you can work out how to get it into upstart/po/upstart.pot in a semi-automatic fashion | 22:17 |
| SpamapS | There's a lot of pieces of the boot that are english only.. so I'll leave it in the "lets solve this soon" bin, and not do it now.. | 22:18 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: the descriptions of all the upstart jobs would also be good to translate.. since they're used by the plymouth bridge | 22:19 |
| slangasek | SpamapS: hmm, ick :) | 22:20 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: seems like that would be much easier to do in a "semi automatic fashion" with dh_installinit | 22:20 |
| slangasek | not particularly | 22:20 |
| slangasek | dh_installinit runs when building binary packages | 22:21 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: but then we have to have upstart know to feed it through gettext at the right moment. :-P | 22:21 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: it could scan the init script it is installing, and produce the .pot, no? | 22:21 |
| slangasek | the problem you need to solve is extracting the strings so that they can be fed to something that interfaces with launchpad translations, which looks at *source* packages | 22:21 |
| slangasek | if LP Translations pulls .pot from binary packages at build time, I'm not aware of it | 22:22 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: err, not installing, but rather, the init script it is setting up to install | 22:22 |
| SpamapS | I see your point.. | 22:22 |
| SpamapS | wrong stage of package building | 22:22 |
| slangasek | ScottK: the honeyd configure.in is making me angry | 22:25 |
| ScottK | ;-) | 22:25 |
| SpamapS | seriously, I think ESR may be right.. autoconf/automake need replacing. :-P | 22:25 |
| SpamapS | If for no other reason than to knock all the bad habits out of peoples heads | 22:25 |
| slangasek | I challenge you to show me a build system that doesn't encourage *worse* habits :) | 22:26 |
| slangasek | anyway, honeyd fix in hand now | 22:31 |
| ScottK | Cool. | 22:31 |
| slangasek | well, except for the subsequent unrelated build failure | 22:31 |

| Seq | Hello. My boot times in oneiric have skyrocketed to about 2.5 minutes. Can anybody help me see why? Here is the bootchart: http://i.imgur.com/XS36E.png | 23:15 |
| SpamapS | Seq: bug 847782 | 23:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 847782 in upstart (Ubuntu Oneiric) "installer writes a permanent ethernet entry in interfaces file" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/847782 | 23:16 |
| SpamapS | Seq: I am about to propose a fix, that hopefully slangasek will take a look at for me. ;) | 23:17 |
| SpamapS | Seq: the short description is .. if you have interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces that aren't actually able to be configured, you should likely remove the line 'auto ethX' from that file so that the system won't wait for them or try to bring them up at boot. | 23:18 |
| SpamapS | slangasek: https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/oneiric/upstart/add-plymouth-messages/+merge/75278 .. would you mind taking a peek? | 23:20 |
| Seq | Thanks. I've removed the 'auto eth0' line, although there was no actual configuration indicating it was dhcp. | 23:21 |
| SpamapS | Seq: so it had no configuration at all? | 23:21 |
| Seq | only an 'auto eth0' line, it did not have anything such as 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' | 23:22 |
| SpamapS | Seq: do you know why it might have been there? | 23:22 |
| SpamapS | Seq: do you have a physical eth0 ? | 23:22 |
| Seq | did the timeout value in /etc/failsafe.conf change recently? I mostly reboot when on wifi only, and I've been running oneiric for a few weeks now, rebooting every few days (mostly for kernel updates) | 23:23 |
| Seq | SpamapS: yes. | 23:23 |
| SpamapS | Seq: the timeout did raise from 30 -> 120 seconds about a week ago | 23:23 |
| Seq | That could be it. I probably haven't rebooted in a week | 23:24 |
| SpamapS | Seq: the proposed fix is just to display to the user that its waiting for network configuration.. | 23:24 |
| ScottK | That's not much of a fix. | 23:24 |
| ScottK | (sorry) | 23:24 |
| SpamapS | Seq: but I suppose we should also make sure that the interfaces we're waiting for actually have configurations! | 23:24 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: your snark cuts me deep. ;) | 23:25 |
| Seq | That would be a good start. I ditched the 'auto' line so hopefully it gets skipped over. But when I disabled 'quiet' and 'splash', I didn't get any indication either, just that cupsd had started. | 23:25 |
| SpamapS | Seq: right, the MP I just linked to for slangasek has the messages bits added | 23:26 |
| SpamapS | its not in oneiric yet | 23:26 |
| ScottK | It's not really snark. I've got a system that boots wicked fast and explaining to me why it's no longer fast once I upgrade it isn't going to make me into a happy user. | 23:26 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: can't make everybody happy. :) | 23:27 |
| SpamapS | Most users should *not* have these lines | 23:27 |
| SpamapS | But I think its worthwhile to also make it not wait on any interfaces that will clearly *never* come up. | 23:27 |
| ScottK | OTOH, compared to a UEC user upgrading to oneiric, only booting a bit slow is a detail. | 23:27 |
| ScottK | SpamapS: Agreed. | 23:28 |
| Seq | I've actually got an issue I'm planning on narrowing down tonight that causes my network to not work. Maybe it is related to bringing up an unconfigured interface.. | 23:28 |
| SpamapS | Seq: I would expect that ifup would still bring it "up", just not give it an IP | 23:28 |
| SpamapS | Seq: which is actually what I'm testing right now | 23:29 |
| Seq | If I'm on wifi and connect my dock (which has ethernet plugged in), each device is configured and working, but my routes get a little messed up. I need to disable both in NM, then pick either one to start again | 23:29 |
| SpamapS | Seq: yeah maybe the auto line was borking your configs | 23:29 |
| slangasek | ScottK: bug #849544 | 23:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 849544 in dtc (Ubuntu) "remove dtc from oneiric and blacklist: multiple security and policy bugs" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/849544 | 23:30 |
| ScottK | slangasek: Thanks. | 23:30 |
| Seq | SpamapS: Unfortunately I'm on that machine right now. I'm about to dock, so I may disappear for a second | 23:30 |
| SpamapS | so, as I suspected, if you have an 'auto ethX' line with no config, it comes up instantly | 23:34 |
| SpamapS | if the interface *exists* | 23:34 |
| SpamapS | one of the whole points of this is we're waiting for interfaces that may take 2 minutes to be detected.. | 23:35 |
| SpamapS | Seq__: wb ;) so I tested auto eth1 with and without an eth1 attached to the system.. and without it.. you get the delay, but with it, you don't. This is desired behavior, as one thing we're waitign for is hardware detection that takes a long time. | 23:39 |
| === Seq__ is now known as Seq | ||
| === Seq is now known as seq | ||
| seq | So you said I shouldn't get the delay if it has 'auth eth0' while disconnected? | 23:41 |
| seq | btw, I just tested again. If I have both network interfaces active, I lose speedy connectivity. Bringing up a web page takes minutes. If I have just one interface connected (either one) web pages load instantly | 23:42 |
| seq | this is not necessarily related to the boot issue | 23:43 |
| SpamapS | seq: are they both on the same network? | 23:47 |
| seq | Yes | 23:47 |
| seq | SpamapS: `route -n` > http://pastebin.com/3J11yM9u | 23:48 |
| SpamapS | seq: that is a little weird.. not sure why you'd see the slowdown.. but can't you just turn wlan off when you plugin to ethernet? | 23:49 |
| seq | If I recall, on previous releases the wifi route had a metric of 1, whereas the wired one was 0. They are both 0 here | 23:49 |
| SpamapS | seq: interesting indeed | 23:49 |
| seq | SpamapS: I could, but I'd prefer it just work magically like it used to. | 23:49 |
| SpamapS | seq: yeah it should be magical like that if they're essentially on the same network | 23:50 |
| seq | I'll try manually removing that route over wifi and adding it back with a metric of 1 | 23:50 |
| seq | SpamapS: Also, disconnecting wifi would sever existing connections, which I don't necessarily want to happen | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | seq: as for your boot slowdown .. the issue isn't if its "connected" or "disconnected" .. but whether the hardware is present at all... if its not present, we wait.. in case it shows up (not entirely unlikely w/ servers ;) | 23:51 |
| seq | SpamapS: eth0 is always present, it just usually isn't connected | 23:51 |
| seq | I still had to wait 120 seconds | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | seq: if it was present, with no configuration, the system should have booted. I just tested that and we don't wait, because ifupdown brings it "up" | 23:52 |
| SpamapS | I wonder if there are situations where it doesn't show up until later. Hm. | 23:52 |
| seq | It didn't do that here. Is there something I can poke to get additional output? | 23:53 |
| seq | SpamapS: Never been a problem with it showing up before. It's just a standard e1000 on a standard intel chipset in a thinkpad | 23:53 |
| SpamapS | seq: if you want to pull the failsafe.conf from that branch and put it in /etc/init/failsafe.conf, that would at least tell you its waiting on network configuration.. | 23:53 |
| seq | According to dmesg, it gets detected pretty quickly: [ 2.213280] e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GT/s:Width x1) 5c:ff:35:00:6b:05 | 23:54 |
| SpamapS | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/oneiric/upstart/add-plymouth-messages/view/head:/debian/conf/failsafe.conf | 23:54 |
| SpamapS | seq: it would actually be really interesting to see ls -l /run/network | 23:55 |
| cjwatson | why is there an auto line with no iface line anyway? d-i won't do that | 23:56 |
| seq | Is there something better than pastebin to post this to? | 23:56 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: I'm pretty sure we're going to dig up all the hacks and voodoo people have applied to their interfaces file with this change. ;) | 23:56 |
| cjwatson | the only places it writes auto, it writes iface straight afterward | 23:57 |
| SpamapS | seq: I like paste.ubuntu.com (easily accessed from cli with pastebinit) | 23:57 |
| seq | This is a fresh install on oneiric, and I do not touched the interfaces file on machines that I use NM on | 23:57 |
| cjwatson | seq: which installer? | 23:57 |
| seq | alternate, I use dmcrypt+lvm | 23:57 |
| cjwatson | I've audited the code and it never writes auto without writesing iface next | 23:57 |
| cjwatson | *writing | 23:57 |
| seq | Is there a log file I can check to see the install date? | 23:58 |
| cjwatson | so I'd like to see the exact original contents of /etc/network/interfaces plus /var/log/installer/syslog | 23:58 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: perhaps more importantly, if there's only an 'auto ethX' line and it is detected, /etc/network/network-interface.conf brings it up.. so the system won't wait for that. | 23:58 |
| cjwatson | give me the latter and it has the install date in it plus lots more | 23:58 |
| slangasek | SpamapS: sent some comments on the merge request | 23:58 |
