[00:15] psusi: Just ask your question, and I'll respond when I'm around. Whats up? [00:19] TheMuso, are you going to take over maintainership of dmraid in debian, or do you just have upload rights? [00:19] TheMuso, I have been trying to get our dmraid pages merged upstream and today I realized that debian has not updated to upstreams's last 3 releases... probably because they decided to call it .rc16-1, -2, and -3 [00:20] TheMuso, so today I rebased the patches on -3, which game out last year... and half of the patches went away as they were already merged.. I'd like to get debian and ubuntu both synced and up to date [00:21] TheMuso, the one patch I wasn't sure about was the disable-dmreg one, as it appears to disable important upstream functionality dealing with failed disks in a mirror, so I just left that patch disabled for now [01:24] slangasek: missing firmware for a network card on the alternate is a linux-firmware bug or something else? === doko__ is now known as doko [01:34] infinity, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/87009585/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-armhf.hscolour_1.19-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz please build it in the bootstrap archive === lifeless_ is now known as lifeless [02:24] h [02:24] hi === user is now known as MonkFish [02:25] hail === cnd is now known as cndougla === cndougla is now known as cnd [02:47] infinity: will germinate ignore packages that are missing in the archive for a certain arch?

[03:06] no, moved it to a separate library [03:08] broder: ok, might take a look over the weekend if no one beats me to it [04:01] hello; my name is Matthew Godby, and I am currently diving into linux system administration and learning programming. I have the aim of becoming an Ubuntu developer, but I have a [04:01] couple of questions first [04:03] In the development of linux-based operating systems, is it more critical to know C or C++? [04:03] !ask | mgodby [04:03] mgodby: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:03] It depends on where your focus is. [04:03] Generally I'd say C though. [04:04] could you give me one or two examples of advantages for each of those two languages? [04:04] Most Ubuntu development tasks are integration of code that's written elsewhere, so knowing something about shell and make is sufficient. [04:04] i think i'd recommend python as a starter language these days, though [04:04] and move to c after that [04:04] Agreed. [04:04] ah [04:04] If you're learning to program, Python is a very good place to start. [04:05] I started trying to learn Python but found it much more confusing than C [04:05] Also there is a significant amount of Ubuntu specialized code written in Python. [04:05] however, since it seems that it is a critical language, I will tackle it [04:05] (for example the Ubuntu graphicall installer is in Python) [04:06] excellent; I will look into the python tutorials suggested by the Ubuntu Wiki [04:06] I'm currently reading Ubuntu Unleashed and just finished the section "automating tasks" it taught me tons about shell scripting [04:07] alright, well thank you for your time! I will continue to work on C and learn Python as well; I appreciate the help [04:49] pitti: Uploaded KDE 4.7.3 for oneiric-proposed.

[08:01] infinity: I don't claim to understand the architecture there, but ubiquity runs in a full live environment, why does it have to rely on udebs? ubiquity itself isn't one [08:02] and neither are many of its dependencies [08:02] pitti: It doesn't.

Why the quirk? :/ [09:50] I hate having to have upgrader workarounds... [09:50] infinity: better ideas appreciated [09:50] infinity: we can add a Conflicts: to all of them [09:50] infinity: but that would break people who actually _use_ these drivers [09:51] even those who have universe enabled, which should be "almost everyone" [09:51] pitti: What's the actual issue? [09:51] infinity: bug 902077 has the full story [09:51] Launchpad bug 902077 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu Precise) "lucid->precise upgrade holds back X.org video drivers" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/902077 [09:51] (And, actually, I run a lot of main-only systems) [09:51] infinity: in short, lucid's xserver-xorg-video-all depends on a few old drivers which went to universe [09:52] so with a "main only" system, the upgrade to precise will hold back the entire X.org stack [09:52] (with apt-get dist-upgrade) [09:52] or just fail the update (do-release-upgrade) as it can't calculate an upgrade path [09:54] I don't suppose we can question why the drivers are in universe at all? [09:55] you mean instead of killed completely? [09:55] I know it's "old hardware" and all, but it seems unclever to drop support for old video cards. [09:55] they still work, just aren't supported any more (LTS/X.org team) [09:55] or even upstream, I suppose [09:55] infinity, oh, while i see that, did you plan to work on the in-initrd drm libs issue ? [09:55] but that's a question for RAOF, bryceh, Sarvatt, or tjaalton [09:56] ogra_: As in, merge plymouth changes from Debian? [09:56] ah, debian has fixed it ? [09:56] cool ! [09:56] ogra_: Yeah, but it's a bit of an upstream re-architecting. vorlon said he'd poke at it. if he doesn't get to it, I will. [09:56] * ogra_ wasnt aware, i only had that on my issues list for precise :) [09:57] We don't really want to merge the new plymouth wholesale from Debian, could be a bit diruptive. [09:57] So, going to see if there are some simple backportable fixes to get rid of the DRM dep where it's not needed. [09:57] well, if we merge it broken, it will at least be long term broken :P [09:57] pitti: Really, the problem here is that xserver-xorg-video-all shouldn't be seeded (IMO). [09:58] pitti: But it may be too late to fix that. [09:58] ++ [09:58] infinity: if it wouldn't be seeded, there's not much point in having it, thoughh [09:58] pitti: video-all should be in universe, and we should be picking the drivers we support and putting them in platform/desktop-common. [09:58] xserver-xorg-video-all would be worth a spec for next UDS actually [09:58] it's the "set of video drivers we install by default" [09:58] infinity: but that is exactly what video-all is :) [09:58] there are many situations wehere we dont want all these drivers [09:58] pitti: We already define "stuff we install by default" as "seeded". [09:58] ogra_: you can uninstall video-all and drivers you don't need [09:59] i.e. on arm we usually want xfbdev and some usb drivers ... [09:59] infinity: that would remove the possibility of trimming them down locally, though [09:59] i. e. what ogra_ says [09:59] right now you can easily remove all but e. g. -intel [09:59] if ubuntu-desktop depends on them all, you couldn't any more [09:59] If ubuntu-desktop recommended them all, you could. [09:59] But meh. [09:59] ubuntu-desktop depends on xorg, no ? [10:00] which in turn depends on -all [10:00] ogra_: no, -all | x-x-video [10:00] or did that change (i havent looked in a while) [10:00] it's been like that for ages [10:00] ah, k [10:00] as long as you have _one_ driver installed which provides x-x-video, apt is happy [10:00] It's been like that ever since -all was done. [10:00] I believe. [10:00] I vaguely recall doing this with Daniel long ago. [10:01] but anyway, v-all is there, in lucid, and we need to deal with it [10:01] But I think it's always been a bit wrong. [10:01] infinity: and also, it's not _at all_ the problem [10:01] if ubuntu-desktop depended on them instead of video-all, we would be in the exact same situation [10:01] s/Depend/Recommend/ [10:02] either way [10:02] Really, the real problem here is that forcefully removing video drivers can break a system. [10:02] the problem is that due to the demotion, a particular driver is not available any more, and thus breaks the upgrade [10:02] Which is why dropping support is a bit nasty. [10:02] so in that situation we have two options: [10:02] - remove the driver entirely and add a conflicts: [10:02] I can think of several ways to force the removal other than dist-upgrader hacks. [10:02] - warn the user and don't upgrade, if he is using that driver [10:02] But the end solution could still be an s3 system with no video. [10:02] infinity: yes, adding Conflicts: [10:03] it's easy to remove a driver, that's what I'm going to do for -nv and -v4l [10:03] but then we don't need to have them in universe any more, we could just remove them completely [10:03] release-upgrader-python-apt is build now too, waiting in NEW - I'm excited! [10:03] what always kept me from changing it in arm is that they actually dont take up much space after all ... we disussed dropping -all in favour of a list several times in the past [10:04] but in the end you only gain a meg or two [10:04] pitti: Can't xserver-xorg (or -video-all) just conflict 'xserver-xorg-video-6'? [10:04] pitti: Surely we don't need explicit conflicts for every old driver. [10:05] infinity: x-x-core already does [10:05] well, Breaks: [10:05] that's what makes apt hold it back :) [10:05] Oh. [10:06] it rather keeps the old packages than removing/upgrading [10:06] I wonder if this is one of those cases where converting a Conflict to a Break caused problems instead of solving them. [10:06] (That used to be a Conflict...) [10:06] I'll try with a Conflict [10:07] I wonder if we can even remotely try to cleverly determine the video driver in use and warn main-only users that they need to enable universe (that, obviously, would be a dist-upgrader hack, but I'm okay with that sort of hack) [10:08] infinity: ah, indeed, that'll convince apt enough [10:08] Having a situation where the archive just plain doesn't upgrade without the dist-upgrader, though, feels wrong. :/ [10:08] infinity: those drivers are abandoned upstream, so there's really no other option than get rid of the ones that don't even build anymore, and let the xserver use a fallback driver (fbdev or vesa) [10:08] tjaalton: so should we remove the lot from the archive instead of keeping it in universe? [10:09] pitti: it was a plan yes [10:09] infinity: thanks for the Breaks -> Conflicts trick [10:09] the plan [10:09] tjaalton: Oh, if fbdev and/or vesa are guaranteed to bring them back to a graphical desktop, I retract my "warn them about the situation" arguments. [10:09] mvo: so, much easier then [10:09] infinity: well, depends if the kernel even boots :) [10:09] :P [10:09] those are for really old hw [10:10] I had an i686 system with an s3virge. [10:10] I think. [10:10] with pae ? :) [10:10] Possibly an i128 too. [10:10] pitti: indeed [10:10] tjaalton: are you ok with promoting the Breaks: to Conflicts:, to tell apt to actually go and do remove the old drivers instead of holding them back? [10:11] tjaalton: (I can do the upload, just want to check if the breaks: was deliberate) [10:11] pitti: haven't read the bug or the backlog in detail yet, lunch in 5min :) [10:11] I'd have to re-read the Breaks code, and/or the policy description, but I suspect that Breaks on virtual packages (as opposed to versioned Breaks on real packages) will never really do what you were hoping. [10:12] Cause we'll want to deconfigure the virtual provider, hoping for an upgrade to come along and fix it, and no upgrade will happen. [10:12] And no guarantee of an upgrade (or even a hint at one), because it can't be versioned. [10:12] but i think this is an issue that debian has had too, I'll ask [10:13] pitti: My gut feeling would be to move all the virtuals out of xserver-xorg-core's breaks line and make them conflicts, and leave the versionable breaks on real packages in the Breaks line. [10:13] (And make sure they're versioned) [10:14] infinity: yes, that's pretty much what I just successfully tested [10:16] tjaalton: so do you want to dwell on this a bit, or should I upload this? [10:28] pitti (or anyone else): is there a nice way to determine the installed size of a package? [10:29] jamespage, apt-cache show |grep Installed [10:30] (thats in kilobytes i think) [10:31] hi all [10:32] * apw looks for an AA to stroke the ti-omap4 kernel through on precise [10:35] ogra_, thanks - just what I was looking for [10:41] pitti: yeah it needs to be pushed to git anyway [10:48] apw: I may have already done it while you were asking who to ask.

They do realise that breaks on virtual packages are kinda meaningless, right? [11:03] infinity: apparently it works just fine, as long as there is an installable candidate that fulfills the dependency [11:03] so for packages that are no more conflicts should be used [11:04] tjaalton: But the virtual is no more...

[14:06] DktrKranz: no, it's still done in bulk [14:06] but it's a separate action / process [14:07] DktrKranz: just poke today's archive admin [14:07] (sorry, I have about 10 things to finish in the next two hours, can't do it now) [14:08] np, thanks for the info [14:10] stgraber, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpra/0.0.7.30+dfsg-1/+build/2969603 built fine. so maybe drop parti-all, or fix the ftbfs === asac_the_enginee is now known as asac_the_boss === asac_the_boss is now known as asac_the_2nd [14:21] asac_the_engine? [14:22] haha [14:22] doko: thats also tryue ... but i ment the engineer :) [14:22] now i am the king again [14:22] asac_the_geraet :P === arges_home is now known as arges [14:26] doko: ok, can you remove parti-all from the archive? I'll deal with applying the patches to xpra when I have some time (not having them won't break anything, just won't be as secure and will be a bit weird on dual-head setups) [14:40] stgraber, done [14:40] doko: thanks === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch === asac_the_2nd is now known as asac [14:54] jelmer, still ftbfs on armhf, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/2.5.0~beta4-1ubuntu1/+build/2994205. any idea? [14:58] doko: argh, that's yet another one. Filed bug #902182 [14:58] Launchpad bug 902182 in bzr (Ubuntu) "spurious failure of test_readv_with_adjust_for_latency(HttpTransport_urllib,HTTPSServer_urllib) on armhf" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/902182 === ara_ is now known as ara [15:03] cjwatson: I'm trying to get gparted and dmraid resynced with debian... doing so requires the corresponding patch to parted ( dm_p_seperator.patch ). Do you think you could upload that to debian if themuso uploads dmraid? [15:14] smoser: np, i'm going to fix the cgroup thing today, the network of course is same as with qemu, nothing to be done about it [15:15] hallyn, i assume, though, that you were testing those rarely used tools [15:15] (ie, not libvirt ;) === zyga is now known as zyga-afk [15:17] i ask because in the target case, we'd be using juju->localprovider (which uses lxc package), and inside the localprovider's containers we'd have nova-compute, which is going to use libvirt-lxc [15:19] i wasn't using juju or libvirt. I was using lxc in precise which has its own bridge [15:19] libvirt's bridge, just like lxc's, can't be used nested without changingn the address for the nested virbr0 === yofel_ is now known as yofel === zyga-afk is now known as zygaq === zygaq is now known as zyga [15:46] gilir: hello Julien, how are you? [15:46] gilir: do you particularly care about awn-extras? [15:47] hi pitti [15:47] pitti, euh yes, but I know I need to fix a couple of things on awn-extras and some of its depends [15:47] gilir: I tried to build it against current precise, and it fails in multiple ways; several plugins get disabled now as the libs changed, etc. [15:48] so before I spend more hours on it I wondered if you already have something in some git tree [15:48] pitti, yes, it's in a pretty bad shape currently [15:49] vala-awn is gone, it's in libawn-dev now; that part works at least [15:49] pitti, yes, I can work on it this week-end, I have already some fixes on my system [15:49] oh, good [15:49] pitti, I'm taking a look at bug 902051 now [15:49] Launchpad bug 902051 in utouch-frame (Ubuntu Precise) "libutouch-frame1-udeb 2.0.0-0ubuntu1 causes d-i FTBFS" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/902051 [15:49] cnd: good morning! thanks, appreciated [15:49] gilir: so maybe we can sync up next week and see what's left, and I might be able to give a hand [15:51] pitti, ok thanks :) [15:51] pitti, the udeb will go away in precise, but is still needed for now [15:51] but only the utouch-frame 1.x functionality [15:52] cnd: any chance to build it without C++ then? [15:52] so I just need to figure out how to strip out the utouch-frame 2.x stuff for the udeb [15:52] if it goes away anyway, I guess it's not worth changing gcc to build a listdc++ udeb [15:52] yeah, it's definitely something we should fix in utouch-frame for now [15:54] Riddell, please update the opengtl symbols file for armhf [15:54] doko: ok, on the todo list [15:54] thanks [15:56] pitti, would you by any chance now how to delete symbols from an so? [15:56] that would be the easiest solution :) [15:56] cnd: you mean from a binary? no [15:57] hmm, ok [15:57] cnd: I think you'd need to do a multi-build, and disable the 2.0 parts in the build-udeb/ tree [15:57] that's the usual way of doing things like taht [15:57] yeah [15:57] cnd: this is actually a single .so? [15:58] I'm just trying to find the easiest way for now [15:58] yeah [15:58] cnd: if it's separate ELF files in one package, you can do it more easily [15:58] it's a single .so.1 with both 1.x and 2.x symbols [15:58] once we've transitioned everything in ubuntu off of the 1.x symbols we'll bump it to .so.2 and remove the old stuff [15:59] so, I think multi-build is the best option here; hacking the .so doesn't sound any easier and robust TBH [15:59] ok [15:59] pitti, got any examples off the top of your head that I could look at? [16:01] udev [16:01] ok [16:01] cnd: basically, in build: you mkdir build-deb/ build-udeb, then for each variant cd into the build dir and ../configure [...] [16:02] to get two independent out-of-tree builds [16:02] alright [16:05] cjwatson: do you have a sec to look at bug 897880 and check if my reasoning is correct? I'm not able to reproduce the problem, but I think I know why it fails [16:05] Launchpad bug 897880 in doc-base (Ubuntu Precise) "package doc-base 0.10.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/897880 [16:06] tjaalton: http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--Add-support-for-Lenovo-tablet-ID-0xE6-td31294086.html Do you know what became of that? [16:09] cjwatson: ah, unping; perl 5.14.2-6 does exactly what I proposed in the bug, so I'll merge that [16:10] cjwatson: in fact, we can sync [16:12] jibel: bug 897880 should be nailed now as well [16:12] Launchpad bug 897880 in perl (Ubuntu Precise) "package doc-base 0.10.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/897880 [16:12] jibel: that was another major upgrade breaker [16:13] edgy: qemu-kvm-spice package in precise should work [16:13] pitti, cool. I re-ran the upgrades with u-m from bzr [16:13] jibel: well, fix uploaded, but buildds are clogged, so it won't actually hit the archive for another few hours [16:14] jibel: the upgrade tests are run daily anyway, right? that sounds good enough [16:14] pitti, ok. For info server upgrade fails because of unexpected debconf prompts [16:14] pitti: got a minute to talk about openstack (nova, keystone) SRU's ?

[16:17] pitti: I think thats probably the best way to handle it. [16:17] SpamapS: as long as there is a thorough test plan/suite, this should be fine [16:17] pitti: I'll make sure openstackers are present to help explain their testing and release regimen. [16:18] actually.. Soren is heavily involved [16:18] soren: ^^ will you be able to attend next week's TB meeting? [16:19] pitti: I'm a tiny bit concerned that there's no "releases" of the stable branch... just commits to the stable branch === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow [16:19] can/topic [16:21] SpamapS: that doesn't matter much, though; "what's in a version number?" [16:22] SpamapS: in a world of TDD and VCS and "trunk always works", versions tend to matter less :) [16:23] * slangasek looks at pitti skeptically :) [16:23] pitti: I'm glad you say that, because thats what OpenStack is built on. :) [16:23] The version numbers / releases are mostly used to coordinate features vs. bugs development effort. :) [16:25] slangasek: well, in my own projects I'm doing releases rather arbitrarily; it's more important for large projects like gnome or ubuntu when you need to coordinate, of course [16:25] pitti: I think my skepticism is around the idea that TDD plus a committment to an always-working trunk is sufficient to result in a trunk that's actually always usable ;) [16:25] SpamapS: but anyway, version numbers don't matter for SRU; the kind and volume of the changes do [16:28] pitti, do you know how to define separate .symbols files for deb and udeb? [16:28] cnd: I wasn't actually aware that you can share them :) [16:28] maybe I'm just doing something wrong :) [16:29] cnd: in general, they are debian/binarypackagename.symbols ? [16:29] cnd: I don't actually know whether udebs can/should have symbol files [16:29] oh right, I was thinking it was libutouch-frame_.{,udebdeb} [16:29] but they actually have different names too [16:29] libutouch-frame_.{,udeb,deb} is what I meant [16:29] or something like that [16:38] hello === jrp-afk is now known as shirgall [17:23] pitti, I've tried to copy the relevant stuff from udev over, but I'm getting the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/765118/ [17:24] do you know what is going wrong? === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chr1sccoulson === cnd is now known as cndougla === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === cndougla is now known as cnd [18:53] Sweetshark, bug's got a fix now === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [19:11] bryceh: do you have a commit, link or some other trophy I can hand back to mst_ ?

[23:42] bjf: I can't do it, the launchpad API times out, and I don't have direct access to do it "the old way" [23:42] bjf: slangasek, cjwatson, and pitti, can do it [23:43] SpamapS: thanks for trying [23:44] bjf: I didn't actually try.

[23:51] SpamapS: You're still using the syncSource API call? [23:51] wgrant: copying the linux kernel between pockets through the web interface times out [23:51] so nothing to do with APIs on our side :) [23:52] You can't copy between pockets with the web UI :) [23:52] There's no UI to select the pocket. [23:53] So I doubt it times out... [23:53] oh [23:53] then I don't know :) [23:53] sorry, I assumed the new stuff was full of webly goodness [23:54] Not quite yet. [23:55] Now, the old syncSource API is likely to time out too. But the new asynchronous copyPackages API should work for everything pretty much. [23:55] wgrant: let me show you the thing that times out... [23:56] wgrant: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/ubuntu-archive-tools/trunk/view/head:/sru-release [23:56] archive.syncSource(from_archive=archive, include_binaries=True, [23:56] RIght, we should probably test and alter that to use copyPackage instead of syncSource. [23:57] syncSource requires the whole copy to complete in just 4-5 seconds. [23:57] Which it should, but you know how fast LP can be... [23:57] so are you saying there is a change we can make in sru-release to get this to work? [23:57] Yes. [23:58] Using the new asynchronous copy job infrastructure introduced for the web sync UI. [23:58] It behaves slightly different (eg. respecting overrides properly, and sending emails) [23:58] So will need a bit of testing. [23:59] wgrant: cool, how can one test this in a non destructive way?
