| ScottK | infinity: ^^^ Prety please .... | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| infinity | ScottK: Bribery would help. | 00:59 |
| ScottK | infinity: Thanks. Anything you want me to cargo cult in in exchange? | 01:24 |
| infinity | ScottK: I have a ubiquity upload coming later tonight, but not just yet. | 01:25 |
| infinity | If you're around, a review would be lovely. If not, I'll find someone else. ;) | 01:25 |
| ScottK | OK. | 01:26 |
| ScottK | Such a perfect time to have a dead powerpc buildd.... | 02:33 |
| infinity | Did we kill one? | 02:39 |
| infinity | Apparently so. | 02:39 |
| * infinity accepts grub2 and goes to bed. | 12:12 | |
| skaet | ScottK, understood. infinity, thanks for getting them through. | 14:06 |
| slangasek | cjwatson, infinity: thanks for the quick grub fix! Now we just need to revert those nvidia/fglrx blacklists... :) | 18:37 |
| stgraber | slangasek: just saw your comments in the bug. So seems like the nvidia blob is actually doing KMS now? | 19:02 |
| slangasek | stgraber: no, it isn't, that's not the issue | 19:07 |
| slangasek | stgraber: gfxpayload=keep hands a VESA framebuffer off to the kernel, which gets picked up automatically; and that apparently coexists fine with nvidia... but it also leaves the console in graphics mode, with nothing to set it to text mode for us in recovery | 19:08 |
| slangasek | exact same thing happens with intel | 19:08 |
| slangasek | now a C program to forcibly switch the console to text mode before launching the friendly-recovery menu would be trivial, but it's still a little late to go that route | 19:09 |
| slangasek | so we should just use =text for recovery mode for this cycle | 19:09 |
| stgraber | oh fun, that explains what komputes reported yesterday then | 19:09 |
| slangasek | yes, indeed | 19:09 |
| slangasek | if you remember his bug number, please dupe it :) | 19:09 |
| slangasek | and then on the menu for today, I have bug #864149 :/ | 19:10 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 864149 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 3 other projects) "initrd doesn't set Fr keyboard layout anymore => couldn't open root luks at boot (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/864149 | 19:10 |
| stgraber | I guess fixing that one will make my fix for bug 524605 obsolete (starting console-setup to have the keyboard layout properly set) | 19:14 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 524605 in friendly-recovery (Ubuntu) "Keyboard layout isn't configured by the time friendly-recovery starts (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/524605 | 19:14 |
| slangasek | stgraber: not exactly | 19:16 |
| slangasek | not unless we decide to always do console-setup in the initramfs... which we currently do not, for reasons of boot speed | 19:18 |
| cjwatson | we do if it panics; it would be fairly straightforward to do that on entry to recovery mode too | 19:34 |
| cjwatson | though I don't know whether it'd be better to just do it from f-r instsead | 19:35 |
| cjwatson | *instead | 19:35 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: for recovery mode, it all currently works | 19:35 |
| slangasek | it's for regular boots, with luks root filesystem and binary video drivers where things are going wrong | 19:35 |
| slangasek | because the binary video drivers are forcing FRAMEBUFFER=n for initramfs-tools, and console-setup keys on that | 19:35 |
| cjwatson | ah, right | 19:36 |
| cjwatson | well, again, the bits are all in the initramfs, it would be fairly easy to make c-s check the cryptsetup case too | 19:36 |
| cjwatson | (but probably not for 11.10) | 19:36 |
| * slangasek nods | 19:37 | |
| cjwatson | maybe. I think it keyed off FRAMEBUFFER=n for a reason mind you | 19:37 |
| slangasek | boot performance | 19:37 |
| cjwatson | yes, but I don't think it was just that | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | I have a feeling that it didn't work reliably unless the framebuffer was there | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | perhaps because we couldn't set the font yet unless it was | 19:38 |
| slangasek | ah | 19:38 |
| slangasek | well anyway, setting FRAMEBUFFER=n is the wrong way for the binary drivers to handle this | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | (that makes sense now I say it) | 19:38 |
| slangasek | the question is whether we'll be able to sort out the right way in a timely manner | 19:38 |
| * slangasek goes back to fiddling with his test nvidia box :) | 19:39 | |
| cjwatson | hmm, infinity got stalled on the flash-kernel-installer related bug he was working on and didn't upload ubiquity overnight; I think I'll do that now, it has several bug fixes which could use maximal testing time | 19:40 |
| slangasek | ack | 19:40 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: Your ubiquity upload adds gir1.2-soup-2.4 as a ubiquity-frontend-gtk depends. Was that intentional (not mentioned in changelog)? | 20:15 |
| ScottK | Actually I can see it's used in the code now... | 20:15 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: is en_US.UTF-8 locale guaranteed to be present? | 20:26 |
| ScottK | I think so. | 20:28 |
| ScottK | Don't we seed it on everything? | 20:28 |
| ScottK | BTW, I accepted it, but don't let that stop you asking questions ... | 20:28 |
| slangasek | I'm not sure | 20:28 |
| === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter | ||
| slangasek | hmm, promising lead on the nvidia-initramfs-framebuffer issue | 20:42 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: yes, needed for the async geoname fetching code; it was already on all the relevant CDs as far as I could see so I didn't scruple | 20:45 |
| ScottK | OK. Thaks. | 20:45 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: language-pack-en-base creates it and currently that's always there | 20:45 |
| ScottK | Thanks even. | 20:45 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: ok | 20:45 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: ultimately it ought to be C.UTF-8 instead but I didn't want to risk that given that we were already using en_US.UTF-8 for a similar purpose elsewhere | 20:46 |
| cjwatson | (thanks for asking questions though!) | 20:46 |
| slangasek | sure :) | 20:47 |
| slangasek | hummm, did we have another regression in pkgbinarymangler? libxcb-render0 has changelog.Debian.gz listed in md5sums, but it's a symlink | 20:48 |
| slangasek | same for a bunch of other desktop library packages | 20:48 |
| slangasek | ah, and some of these builds are from June... I guess I should run debsums -s more often :/ | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | please don't tell me we have to rebuild the world | 20:53 |
| slangasek | I don't think it warrants rebuilding the world for a wrong .md5sums | 20:55 |
| slangasek | but there are a lot of wrong .md5sums on my system | 20:55 |
| cjwatson | argh, ubiquity failed to build, not funny | 21:02 |
| cjwatson | oh, missing build-dep I think :-/ | 21:02 |
| slangasek | ok, got a solution for bug #864149 I think; just need to test it on a non-nvidia system now too | 21:27 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 864149 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 3 other projects) "initrd doesn't set keyboard layout when nvidia drivers are installed (FRAMEBUFFER=n override) (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/864149 | 21:27 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: did you notice bug 862129? | 22:52 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 862129 in samba (Ubuntu) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 2 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/862129 | 22:52 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: no, I hadn't. what do you suggest? ignoring errors from update-inetd? | 23:05 |
| slangasek | not a new issue in any case; I don't see a reason to treat this as a blocker for 11.10 | 23:05 |
| cjwatson | the general problem isn't easy to solve; perhaps an explicit test that File::Temp is loadable, but that violates layers ... | 23:10 |
| * slangasek nods | 23:10 | |
| cjwatson | it probably isn't, though I'd like to confirm that it doesn't show up in default upgrades | 23:11 |
| cjwatson | or default upgrades after samba has been installed anyway | 23:11 |
| cjwatson | didn't doc-base run into something similar? | 23:11 |
| slangasek | I don't recall | 23:12 |
| cjwatson | maybe that was more direct | 23:15 |
| * slangasek accepts ubiquity | 23:17 | |
| cjwatson | ta | 23:18 |
| slangasek | hmm, looks like I'm ENOTIME to finish testing this initramfs-tools change now; will have to upload it later this evening | 23:18 |
| cjwatson | I suspect that the simplest fix for bug 770711 looks rather like http://paste.ubuntu.com/700779/ (though I'm not going to start testing that at this time of night) - does anyone object to the X-Python-Version bump there, for collections.OrderedDict? | 23:37 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 770711 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 1 other project) "Prefers to install to USB rather than to HD (affects: 3) (heat: 16)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/770711 | 23:37 |
| cjwatson | A backport does exist, but it's a fair chunk of code, and given that 2.7 is our default anyway ... | 23:37 |
| Daviey | Seems easy enough to roll back if it does cause issues. | 23:39 |
