pittiGood morning05:26
pittislangasek: yes, I recently demoted ubuntuone-couch/mocker because nothing kept it in main any more; but both have MIRs, so I re-promoted them05:27
pitticnd: pkg-create-dbgsym itself can do it, but for regular PPAs there is no archive to publish them to05:27
pitticnd: it's primarily an option for the OEM PPAs, which are non-virtualized and they have their own archive05:28
slangasekpitti: actually I repromoted them before you got to it ;)  (morning!)05:28
ScottKpitti: Getting dbgsym packages into a proper archive would be a good UDS topic I think.05:29
pittidoko_: yes, g-shell was uploaded, but dep-waiting on caribou; both are built now, and the remaining cogl2 rdepends are now fixed05:31
pittislangasek: gdm/lightdm fix> no, go ahead; I guess you already did05:31
slangasekpitti: more or less... gdm is in, lightdm was caught up because robert_ancell has changes committed to trunk - I've branched around that now, needs someone to approve it in the queue :)05:32
pittiScottK: not sure what's left to do there; LP supports it, IIRC the main thing there is that it is hard for LP to "forget" the obsolete ones05:32
ScottKIf it was easy, you'd have done it already.....05:33
pittibut I'd be really happy to finally drop this nasty and brittle ddeb-retriever hack05:33

micahgpitti: does it make any sense to use dh --with apport and then override it later?07:15
pittimicahg: I think it does if you want to supply extra options07:17
micahgok, great, that's what I want to do (needs a package name :))07:17
tkamppeterpitti, hi07:21
pittihello tkamppeter07:22
pittimicahg: then you don't need to care about which other dh_* command to append it to, i. e. --with will take care of the correct ordering already07:22
pittimicahg: (not a biggie for dh_apport, but in general)07:22
micahgpitti: oh,  so I could toss it under override_dh_auto_install?07:23
tkamppeterpitti, it is about bug 787067, a GS crash on Apple-generated EPS files. Fix would be to not use the system-supplied liblcms1 any more but the Ghostscript-built-in one. Should I switch to that one then?07:23
pittimicahg: no, that's too early07:23

micahgpitti: I just did override_dh_apport?07:24
pittimicahg: yes, that plus --with is correct07:24
micahgok, great07:24
pittitkamppeter: I'd rather avoid it; library duplication is EBW07:24
pittitkamppeter: can't the fix be applied to liblcms1?07:24
dholbachlucas, bon anniversaire! :)07:24
tkamppeterpitti, the fix suggested here is downgrading to liblcms1_1.16-7ubuntu107:25
tkamppeterpitti, we currently use 1.19.dfsg-1ubuntu107:26
tkamppeterpitti, perhaps one can advance GS to liblcms2.07:29
pittitkamppeter: it seems it's rather easy to reproduce the bug with a command line, so bisecting liblcms changes between 1.16 and 1.19 should be feasible; woudl be better to fix the regression for 1.19 than downgrading, IMHO07:30
tkamppeterpitti, quick check shows that building GS against lcms2 fixes the segfault, but GS upstream developers tell that lcms2 is too buggy and not recommended to be used with GS ...07:45

tkamppeterpitti, I am trying to get a stack trace from liblcms, I have rebuilt the package locally and then manually copied the unstripped version of the lib into its place in the system, bug gdb says warning: Can't read pathname for load map: Input/output error. and does not load the symbols of liblcms. Is there a special trick for multiarch?09:41
pittitkamppeter: the warning happens everytime, that's normal09:43
tkamppeterpitti, any idea why I do not get the symbols? I have checked the lib with "file" and it is really unstripped.09:44
pittitkamppeter: did you copy it to the same place as the original package?09:45
pittitkamppeter: if so, then I have no idea09:45
OdyXpitti, tkamppeter: do you have opinions about http://bugs.debian.org/641687 ? (aka "impossible to setup a printing driver without colord installed" )?09:51
ubottuDebian bug 641687 in cups "cups: Failed to automaticly configure a printer when no color manager is available" [Normal,Open]09:51
tkamppeterpitti, I did, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/09:53
AlanBellev: is there a way to run ubiquity from trunk, I only know how to start it from the live CD09:59
lagMy desktop just randomly shut itself down10:00
evAlanBell: you can build it using debuild then copy the resulting ubiquity-frontend-gtk, ubiquity, and ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork debs into a live CD10:00
tkamppeterpitti, on #ghostscript I got told that libcms1 is not maintained upstream any more and therefore the GS deveklopers have applied fixes to their own version and did not report them upstream. They also tell that therefore in GS 9.05 they want to remove the possibility to use the system liblcms(1). Seems that for P we need to switch GS to liblcms2 and use the time of the cycle to test and find bugs. WDYT is best for Oneiric then?10:01
lagI've looked in /var/log/[kernel.log&syslog], but there's no clues in there as to what went wrong10:01
AlanBellok, not much easier than just booting the CD and poking at the files there10:01
evAlanBell:  indeed, that10:01
evs generally much quicker10:01
AlanBelllag: probably temperature10:01
tkamppeterpitti, Upstream GS suggests to use GS' own lcms1 for the current Ubuntu release.10:01
lagAlanBell: Does Ubuntu log such things?10:01
pittitkamppeter: could we at least bisect the changes and check which one caused the regression?10:02
lagAlanBell: Surely there would be something in the logs "over-temp warning, shutting down..."10:02
pittitkamppeter: duplicating libraries is a pain, and downgrading gs' one to a previous version will presumably re-open color management bugs again which were fixed since then?10:02
AlanBelllag: yes, in syslog normally I think. It is the main thing I know of that causes a controlled suicide shutdown -h now10:03
lagAlanBell: I don't see anything10:03
* lag installs sensors-applet 10:03
tkamppeterpitti upstream suggests duplicating the lcms1. They want to stabilize the lcms2 shared library use for the next cycle (9.05).10:07
tkamppeterpitti, I have diffed the upstram source of liblcms1 with the source coming with GS and the diff of the src/*.c is huge.10:08
tkamppeterpitti, bisecting does not work, there is VCS for libcms1.10:08
pitti"no VCS"?10:09
tkamppeterpitti, seems that we have to duplicate the lcms1 to overcome the time until getting the real solution in GS 9.05.10:09
pittitkamppeter: can we disable color management support in gs for oneiric, if it's not ready yet and crashy?10:09
tkamppeterpitti, the VCS on LittleCMS.com is a GIT started in 2010 with only libcms2.10:10
cjwatsonlots of upstreams suggest duplicating libraries; if they were all correct then distributions would be considerably larger and considerably less secure :-)10:10
tkamppeterpitti, I do not really know whether it is possible in GS 9.0x, as CMS is deeply integrated there. It can perhaps cause more crashes at other places.10:11
tkamppeterpitti, only crash point in GS for now are these Apple-generated EPS files, so most of CMS is stable. Switching to the GS-internal lcms1 would make also this point stable and we would ship a GS without known crashes.10:13
=== doko_ is now known as doko
tkamppeterpitti, security responsability of this code piece will be taken by GS upstream.10:14
pittitkamppeter: it might fix this bug, but how many others would it reopen?10:15
tkamppeterpitti, and it is also only for one non-LTS cycle.10:15
pittiall the changes between 1.16 and 1.19 weren't made in vain, I suppose :)10:15
tkamppeterpitti, the one in GS is the new one, not 1.16.10:16
pittitkamppeter: I thought you said it only worked with 1.16, so I thought that's the version gs ships with10:17
pittiif it also ships with 1.19, then the diff can't possibly be so large?10:17
pittior did they do so heavy modifications to the internal copy?10:17
pitti(if so, it's all the more reason to disable it completely -- this kind of behaviour is simply unacceptable)10:17
tkamppeterpitti, the diff is really big: 15 files changed, 1050 insertions(+), 905 deletions(-)10:22
pittitkamppeter: so I suppose the included version isn't 1.19?10:26
tkamppeterpitti, I have diffed the included version against 1.18 and 1.19. The diffstats look nearly equal. This means that the changes the GS developers did are much, much bigger than the changes between 1.18 and 1.1910:27
tkamppeterpitti, 1.18 -> 1.19: 4 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)10:29
tkamppeterpitti, additional remark: I tried also to install 1.16 (originally suggested workaround) but GS crashes with it for me, too.10:29
pittiso that also means gs' internal copy is a totally homebrew one, and hasn't been tested at all so far with other printing related things10:31
pittithat makes me even less confident that switching to the internal version is a good idea at this point ..10:31
directhexmvo, how does apt's new netrc support deal with passwords containing spaces?10:31
tkamppeterpitti, the internal lcms was tested by the regression tests of GS upstream which they do after every GIT commit and these tests run 1000s of files through GS, there are even tests with the CUPS Raster output device.10:35
pittitkamppeter: and we know that their version works with our packaged version of colord, gnome-color-manager, etc? we never tested it in any real "print this document" test case in oneiric10:37
tkamppeterpitti, perhaps leaving this bug unfixed and providing a personal solution (PPA), for example a GS build using libcms2 to this one user who complained, and putting O and P tasks to the bug, marking O "Won't fix", as it is too close to release and the available fixes are too big changes.10:43
pittitkamppeter: works for me10:43
tkamppeterpitti, I will also use this LCMS2-based GS on my systems to keep it under observation and also upload it to P as soon as P opens, so that it gets tested. If it turns out to be stable I will propose it as SRU in 2 months or so.10:45
janimoScottK, hi, around? Why is the build log necessary for the glmark2 FFE? Also the detailed description of testing? The one requesting the FFE and the packager is the upstream author as well11:08
ScottKBecause those are normal things required for an FFe.11:09
janimobuild log? hmm, never saw that asked for honestly.11:09
tkamppeterpitti, OdyX wants an opinion about debian bug 641687, should we make cups depend on colord here?11:11
ubottuDebian bug 641687 in cups "cups: Failed to automaticly configure a printer when no color manager is available" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/64168711:11
pittitkamppeter: that sounds unsuitable for Debian at least; we can't easily make it work without colord support?11:11
pittiOdyX: ^ cups is also used in embedded environments, so adding a hard dependency on colord seems a bit exaggerated?11:12
OdyXpitti: I would tend to agree, yes. colord doesn't sound essential to cups' core task, so wouldn't justify a hard depends. IMHO, eh.11:13
mvodirecthex: space should work fine, the tokenizer uses \n\t as tokens11:13
mvodirecthex: eh, as delimit11:14
directhexnetrc(5) says spaces as well. which is the issue11:15
directhexthe python netrc library implies you can't use spaces in netrc, too11:15
tkamppeterpitti, so the colord patch of CUPS needs a fix to fall back to non-CMS if colord is absent. Is this only relevant for Debian or should we do this fix also for Oneiric?11:16
tkamppeterOdyX, ^11:16
OdyXIf colord is also a recommends of cups in oneiric, I'd say it should be done in both.11:17
mvodirecthex: hm, I don't know about the python one, but at least from looking ah the apt code (and curl) it should work, but I did not actually test it, so I may be wrong11:17
pittitkamppeter: seems relevant for both11:17

tkamppetercjwatson, for me it also looks like that this is not a bug of the individual packages as ate least on cups and foomatic-filters the debconf stuff did not get touched for longer time. The package manager frontend seems to be a good candidate here.12:22

cjwatsonWell, it's not the most productive way to put it.  It's a rather big distribution and you provide no particular indication of which bits are problematic.14:35
cjwatson(And in any case this is not the right forum for that, unless you have fixes)14:35
hungercjwatson: Shutdown not working anymore, random screen freezes, menu not showing up for some apps at all, that gear thing on the far left vanishing randomly.14:36
hungercjwatson: ... window manager having to restart, unity dash not opening after a while, ...14:37
ogra_did you file bugs for all these issues ?14:37
hungercjwatson: And all that on a run-of-the-mill netbook HW.14:37
hungerogra_: Not yet.14:37
seb128half of those are known and being worked14:38
hungerseb128: Good:-)14:38

seb128that's the "gear" one14:38
* cjwatson has nothing to do with any of those. I guess I'll go back to introducing^Wfixing bugs somewhere else.14:38
seb128is shutdown not working from the login screen?14:38
hungerseb128: Not even shutdown -h now works:-(14:39
seb128ok, dunno then14:39
* hunger should probably just file bug reports and shut up to not keep you guys from fixing bugs.14:40
hungerseb128: bug #854292 is not the one I am seeing. I did not run apt-get or anything.14:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 854292 in Unity Foundations "indicator-session power menu disappears after running update-manager or apt-get" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85429214:41
seb128hunger, you didn't use update-manager?14:41
seb128hunger, well it's most likely the same issue but maybe triggered a different way14:42
hungerseb128: I got the CD and installed that. Logged in and played a bit, starting apps, etc.14:42
hungerseb128: I did not update... did not notice any updater poping up either.14:42
seb128hunger, well maybe it has nothing to do with updates, updates seemed something that come often close from the issue14:43
seb128hunger, but anyway likely the same bug as I said, it might just happen under different conditions14:43
hungerseb128: Great. One bug less for me to file:-)14:44
cjwatsonhunger: it's not so much keeping us from fixing bugs, but that "your work sucks" is pretty demotivating.14:45
cjwatsonConstructive contributions are way better, and welcomed14:45
hungercjwatson: Sorry.14:46
hungercjwatson: unity is turning out rather nice in oneiric.14:48
* cjwatson has nothing to do with unity, for the avoidance of doubt14:50
hungercjwatson: Just wanted to say something positive, too:-)14:50
cjwatsonI'm not asking for praise either; by constructive I mean helping out with the problems14:51
tkamppeterpitti, I have a solution for the GS/lcms2 problem: I am removing d-shlibmove. d-shlibmove seems to be rarely used. Only GS and jbig2dec are the d-shlibmove-using packages from the ones whose source I have on my laptop.14:54
hungercjwatson: I understand that position, but it is rather hard to debug all this stuff. I can file bug reports, but that is where it ends for me.14:55
OdyXhunger: filing useful bugs (with as much information as possible, reproducing-steps, precise description of what fails for you) _is_ important.14:57
hungerOdyX: I know. But I don't think I can provide reproducing steps, etc. :-(15:00

slangaseksmoser: hah, so the udevadm settle had *no* effect on finding /dev/console?17:43
smoserwell, 0/329 for control17:44
smoser0/500+ for udevadm settle17:44
smoserso unable to get any real data.17:44
slangaseksmoser: but then 1/1 on each when you ran it on a different cloud?17:45
smoserbut its all just racy. depends on cpu to disk speed ratio.17:45
smoserright.17:45
smoseri can setup tests on the cloud where we get hits and try again.17:45
slangaseksmoser: in that case, can I ask you to modify /init in the initramfs to check for ${rootmnt}/dev/console existence right before calling run-init, and if it's missing, to dump /dev/.udev.log to the terminal?17:47
slangasekI'd like to see what it is udev is doing17:47
smoseryeah. i can do that. just modify that intiramfs a little more.17:48
smoserwhat i did previously was just take the one image and publish a "pure beta-2"17:48
smoserthen i mounted fs loopback and just re-packed the existing initramfs and put it back into the image and published the modified17:48
smoserso the only file different in the 2 images was the initramfs17:48
smoserso... i will try to get some runs with that. on the reproducing cloud.17:49
SpamapSHrm, so I'm having trouble with dh_python2 ..18:27
SpamapSWhen there's only one package in debian/control .. it automatically just shoves all of debian/tmp into the package..18:28
SpamapSbut when there are two.. its not putting the python modules anywhere..18:28
tumbleweedthat's not dh_python2's job18:28
SpamapSoh, it scans the packages after?18:28
SpamapSthat makes sense actually.. good point18:28
tumbleweedyes18:28
tumbleweedalso normally when there's only one package, there is no debian/tmp18:28

SpamapSlynxman: pong, sup?20:00
lynxmanSpamapS: hey sorry to bother you, any idea what we're doing about rabbitmq for oneiric? Are we pushing to 2.6.0? Just wondering because I'm maintaining rabbitmq-stomp and rabbitmq-erlang-client and they'll need updating too20:02
SpamapSlynxman: its way too late for that I'm afraid. :-/20:03
SpamapSlynxman: if I had been able to jump on it right away it might have gotten done, but that was a month ago. :(20:03
lynxmanSpamapS: cool, no problem at all, was just wondering20:03
lynxmanSpamapS: since there was a bit of conclicting info in the sprint :)20:03
lynxmanSpamapS: thanks for the clarification ;)20:04
lynxmanSpamapS: also if you want I can do 2.6.0 myself and push it in a ppa or something, got used to it20:05
SpamapSlynxman: have the debian maintainers shown any movement on it?20:05
lynxmanSpamapS: fraid not20:05
lynxmanSpamapS: I can do it and push it back to them though20:05
lynxmanSpamapS: since I'm already trying to push rabbitmq-stomp and rabbitmq-erlang-client back to debian anyway20:06
SpamapSlynxman: ok, thats fine.. sounds like we should move forward with 2.6.0 in a PPA and maybe help them out if they get stuck with it.20:06
SpamapSlynxman: ideally you'd maintain them in Debian.. :)20:07
lynxmanSpamapS: heh, I'm trying for mcollective but since I'm unknown in Debian... :)20:07
SpamapSlynxman: this is precisely how you get known in Debian.20:09
lynxmanSpamapS: I'll ask for some guidance for that then, let me try first to iron out the 2.6.0 properly :)20:09
smoserslangasek, i was reading back above20:12
smoser "can I ask you to modify /init in the initramfs to check for ${rootmnt}/dev/console existence right before calling run-init, and if it's missing, to dump /dev/.udev.log"20:12
smoseri'm guessing you want to back out the udevadm settle,t hen, right ?20:13
smoserand basically just panic with more debug20:13
slangaseksmoser: I'd like to see it with both bits present20:13
smoserhm... but you're very much less likely to see the udev debug if we add the udevadm settle, no ?20:13
smoserand possibly that would "fix" our issue, meaning you'd *never* see that debug output20:14
slangaseksmoser: I was assuming you'd run this on the system where you got 1 for 1 on failures20:14
smoserwell, its not completely 1x1, but its closer.20:14
smoserbut my argument is still that the udev.initramfs-bottom change will make us not hit the udev debug stuff.20:15
slangaseksmoser: oh, I misread your last comment in bug #833783 - I thought you had said running on CanoniStack, you saw the error both with *and* without the udevadm settle change20:17
