brycehSweetshark, RAOF is on vacation returning Monday00:19
Sweetsharkbryceh: and since he was foolish enough not to log out of IRC, he will find half a page of text /msg'ed there ;)00:22
brycehSweetshark, if it was about an X issue, anything I could assist with?00:23
Sweetsharkbryceh: it was about an X issue I showed RAOF at UDS. The "start center" of libreoffice has clipping errors on intel drivers.00:31
Sweetsharkquote: 19:42 < mst_> i've unfortunately tried to invesitgate why the clipping line breaks the start center...00:32
Sweetsharkhe did that down to all the X calls and found out LO did everything right.00:32
Sweetsharkso it is definitly an X issue. (And I have high sympathy for the guy walking through LOs X11 layers).00:34
brycehyikes yeah00:35
brycehSweetshark, what's the bug # for it?  Would you like me to raise the issue with Intel?00:36
Sweetsharkbryceh: heh, cant find any bug #, mybe it got lost between the cracks at UDS.00:45
Sweetsharkbryceh: should I open one, or do you want to take care of it?00:46
brycehSweetshark, if you don't mind opening one, and paste in the information mst found, that would be quite helpful, I can take it from there00:46
Sweetsharkmst_ is a RedHat guy and likely will try to escalate on their side too btw ...00:46
brycehoh, and if you can take a screenshot (or photo) showing the bad clipping, that'd help00:46
brycehSweetshark, what are the steps to reproduce it?00:47
Sweetsharkbryceh: a) have intel driver b) open libreoffice startcenter (with the libreoffice command, not one of the applications directly)00:48
Sweetsharkthats it.00:48
brycehheh, yep I reproduced it00:49
Sweetsharkyou will have unpainted areas on the left and right of the start center.00:49
brycehSweetshark, I see it00:50
brycehSweetshark, I can take care of filing the bug if you want to just shoot me mst's findings00:51
Sweetsharkbryceh: please do00:52
brycehgot it, thanks.00:52

didrockshey pitti, excellent! (still a little bit of neck pain, but hopefully almost over). We went yesterday evening to the event next to our home for the "fetes des lumières"06:32

pittiit's an a-capella band; five guys: three voices, one bass, and one who has an awesome talent of "playing the drums" with just his mouth and a mike06:35
pittithey make mostly ironic/humorous songs, but also some really great ballads06:35
pittiand some rather experimental things, like a ragtime or the "Goldeneye" song06:36
didrocksoh, sounds really great! :)06:36
didrockshope you will enjoy it!06:36

mvobreakage even09:22
pittimvo: oh, there's a fix already?09:23
jibelpitti, there was the same problem in the upgrade from lucid -> maverick09:23
mvopitti: I think so, current trunk seems to work with the testcase and I think I know what commit fixed it, so lets see09:23
mvoif I can isolate this one and do a hotfix upload09:24
mvothere is more goodness in trunk, but its likely to break abi again soon, so a targeted fix is a better option09:24

ubot2Launchpad bug 902077 in xorg "lucid->precise upgrade holds back X.org video drivers" [High,Triaged]09:42
pittimvo: do we need to be concerned about upgrades where universe is not available?09:43
pittimvo: some X.org video drivers went to universe, and thus they don't have a newer version to upgrade to without universe09:43
pittimvo: this will hold back the whole X.org stack09:43
mvopitti: I think we should try to address this, but the release-upgrader can do that (and we release note it)09:43
pittinow, if people are actually _using_ one of these, this would actually be right09:43
mvopitti: yeah, that is the problem, what if that is the case :/09:44
pittiif not, it'd be better to remove them09:44
mvobut could add a check in the release-upgrader09:44
pittimvo: but I now know how to at least fix the upgrade with universe enabled09:44
pittihacking /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages on the fly is really handy for this :)09:44

Sweetsharkpitti: git repack -ad --window --depth 70 over ~50 full LibreOffice binaries taking its toll09:51
Sweetshark(full binaries= full install with all libs etc.)09:52
mvopitti: yes, should be it deends on where exactly it breaks in the resolver what to do, ideally we would just mark them for removal in the apt cache and not actually remove them before running do-release-upgrade, but that will need some testing09:52
pittimvo: infinity just chiming in on #u-devel FYI09:52
mvopitti: but if its "just" holding them back, that should be fine, we can easily work around it09:52
pittimvo: no, you can't upgrade if you keep teh old version installed09:53
pittiyou need to remove them or install the precise one09:53
mvoit will break hard in the relsolver when it tries to calculcate the upgrade?09:53
pittiyes09:53
mvomeh, ok09:53
pittilucid's drivers depend on x-x-video-609:54
pittiwhile precise's depend on -1009:54
pitti(X.org video ABI change)09:54
pittii. e. the old drivers would just crash the current X.org09:54
mvoright, sorry, I think I did not express very well what I meant. so if the stack is hold back, we can do the "mark_upgrade, mark_delete" dance entirely in the apt cache in d-r-u and make sure everything is right (x upgraded, universe drivers removed). if the resolver breaks hard, we may need to actually remove them from the system *before* d-r-u is calculating the upgrade.09:56
pittimvo: ah, right09:56
pittimvo: that's a trick you can't do with sudo apt-get09:56
mvoindeed, in the release notes we will have to describe the workaround like you did, but we may do it all in one go in d-r-u09:57

pittithat's insane; does that operation really need the whole repo in memory?10:25
