cndqt may be easier than I thought to forward port00:35
cndI'm still not crazy about the patch, it's rather hairy due to a bunch of #ifdefs00:35
cndbut there really isn't that much that changed between the two implementations00:35
cndand the bits that did change are easy to fix00:36
* cnd is running a test build of qt on behemoth00:37
RAOFYay behemoth!00:44
RAOFAt least that quad core monstrosity is good for something :)00:44
cndwhen I upgraded behemoth this morning, it installed a bunch of i386 packages03:49
cndI have no idea why03:49
RAOFEither breakage, or dependencies that dropped out of ia32-libs?03:50
RAOFapt can now sometimes do that if something's uninstallable on amd64, but a multi-arch: foreign alternative is installable.03:53
cnddunno03:58
cndI've done a lot to behemoth03:58
cndand I may have only ever wiped it once since I've had it03:58
cndso there's bound to be a lot of cruft03:58
cndon the plus side, I've got qt and multitouch working!03:58
cndit was much easier than I thought it would be03:59
RAOFSweet!  That was fast.03:59
RAOFHows about a synaptics that doesn't reset to (0,0) at infuriatingly frequent, yet seemingly random, intervals? :)03:59
cndI'll be pushing it in a few mins03:59
RAOFOr, even better, do you see that behaviour?03:59
cndheh, you'll have to wait a bit on that03:59
cndI don't even have a rebuilt synaptics installed yet03:59
cndand because I partially upgraded qt on my system to test04:00
RAOFYou haven't upgraded from the staging PPA?04:00
cndit would be easier for me to just try it tomorrow04:00
cndapt-get is useless if it thinks your packages are in a broken state04:00
cndit needs a "I know what I'm doing, just install these other packages please" option04:00
RAOFYeah, it's sucky that way.04:01
RAOFThe ppa is, at least, fully installable.04:02
cndwith the updated qt, unity-2d starts up04:03
cndthough I'm missing the dock04:03
cndany ideas why that would be?04:03
RAOFNo idea - I *thought* that was missing geis, because that's what would happen with the non-multitouch frankenserver.04:03
RAOFIs unity-2d-launcher spinning at 100% cpu still?04:04
cndwell, geis still won't work with this multitouch frankenserver04:04
cndoh, it is04:04
cndcompiz does that too04:04
cndso unity 3d is useless04:04
cndand unity 2d's launcher is useless04:04
cndgnome classic with effects is also useless due to the same compiz issue04:05
RAOFGNOME Do, however, LIVES ON!04:05
cndheh04:05
cndI'm on vacation now though04:05
cndI'll be back on the 3rd04:05
RAOFLike essentially everyone else :)04:06
cndI'm just uploading qt, and I'll send out an email to ubuntu-devel and ubuntu-x about the x-staging ppa04:06
RAOFDoing anything interesting?04:06
cndnot much04:06
RAOFExcellent!04:06
cndheh04:06
cndplaying zelda skyward sword I guess04:06
RAOFThat can be the most fun.04:06
cndyeah04:06
cndless stress04:06
cndurgh, the qt4-x11 tarball is huge04:07
RAOFIt's ~200MB, isn't it?04:07
RAOFDon't try building it on a tmpfs :)04:07
RAOFI'll be doing something similar, but with jml's bucks party, and running a one-shot D&D campaign while jml's here thrown into the middle :)04:08
cnd215 MB04:08
cndI have no clue what any of that is04:08
cndI do know what a jml is :)04:08
cndbut the rest...04:08
RAOFBuck's party not familiar to you?04:09
RAOFI mean, it's not like *I* had one, but I thought they were pretty universal across UK/US-derived cultures.04:10
cndno, I have no clue what a "Buck's party" is04:11
cndoh, bachelor party!04:11
cndyeah, I got it04:11
RAOFPerhaps more commonly known as a "buck's night", to go with the feminine "hen's night". :)04:13
cndyeah, those terms didn't make it across the atlantic04:14
cndwe have bachelor and bachelorette parties04:14
cnddon't know if I spelled the latter correctly04:14
RAOFHeh.04:15
cndRAOF, I'm getting this error: File qt4-x11_4.7.4.orig.tar.gz already exists in Primary Archive for Ubuntu, but uploaded version has different contents.04:26
cndwhen I try to dput to the ppa04:26
cndI tried downloading the exact orig tarball from precise04:26
cndand then rebuilt the source package04:26
cndit didn't even upload an orig.tar.gz, since the archive already has it04:26
cndany ideas?04:26
bjsniderdo -S -sd04:29
cndbjsnider, what does that do?04:29
bjsniderit uploads without uploading the tarball04:30
bjsniderit assumes the tarball is already there04:30
bjsniderdebuild -S -sd04:30
cndyeah, the second time it didn't upload the tarball04:30
cndthe first time it did04:30
* cnd wonders if the tarball is stuck in the ppa04:30
bjsniderwhat happened the second time?04:31
cndsame error came back04:31
bjsniderimpossible04:31
cndI have the emails :)04:31
bjsnideryou did an -sd instead of an -sa, and dput the changes file, and got that error?04:32
cndyeah04:33
bjsniderand you need to do the -sd against the tarball it's talking about, in precise, not your own tarball04:33
cndcorrect04:33
cndI downloaded the orig tarball from launchpad from the precise package overview page to be sure04:33
bjsniderthat's one i have't seen before04:33
cndI've seen weird issues like this before04:34
cndI'm guessing it's a bug somewhere in soyuz, and someone may need to manually delete the tarball from the servers04:34
bjsniderdid you ask in #launchpad?04:34
cndI am right now :)04:35
bjsnideryou could do a bit of trickery and add +0 to the version number, thus creating a unique tarball04:35
bjsniderbut only if it's being superseded by a newer version soon enough04:36
cndyeah, I'm not sure that will happen04:36
cndever in precise04:36
cndbjsnider, it was still building against the bad tarball in ../build-area04:47
cndI had only replaced the tarball in ../04:47
bjsniderso it worked?04:48
cndstill building04:48
cnduploading now04:50
cndok, it worked finally04:52
bjsnidercool04:53
cndI don't like how bzr bd copies the orig tarball into the build-area04:54
cndI can kinda see why they do it04:55
cndbut I think it just makes things more confusing when there are issues04:55
cndthey could just symlink and be done with it04:55
cndanyways, I'm done04:55
cndI'm off for the holidays, but I'll troll, as always :)04:56
tjaaltonoh new qt didn't fix compiz07:08
tjaaltonlet's install gnome-shell then :)07:09
tjaaltonyeah it works07:15
ricotzcnd, hi07:16
cndhi07:17
cndtjaalton, new qt isn't finished building yet07:17
cndbut yeah, compiz seems borked07:17
ricotzcnd, the inputstack of xserver git master and the 1.11+input2.2 should be "indentical", right?07:17
cndthat's the theory :)07:18
ricotzcnd, could look at this https://launchpadlibrarian.net/88180194/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.xf86-input-wacom_1%3A0.12.0-0ubuntu3_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz07:18
cndit depends on whether you count the new InputOption API07:18
cndyeah...07:18
tjaaltonricotz: wacom hasn't been ported07:18
ricotzcnd, ah ok07:19
cndthat input option api was not backported from 1.1207:19
ricotztjaalton, wacom worked fine with abi 1507:19
cndI couldn't be sure that it would not cause ABI/API issues with other drivers07:19
ricotzcnd, i see07:19
cndthe whole option parsing API changed, IIRC07:19
cndnot just for input modules07:19
ricotzcnd, wouldnt it be better the pull this in too rather than creating a "new" abi which isnt abi 16?07:20
cndricotz, we can't modify any ABI that would affect video drivers07:21
cndi.e. the 1.11 nvidia and fglrx drivers must still work07:21
cndI'm worried that the new option abi would conflict07:21
ricotzalright07:21
ricotzbut the reported abi will be 16?07:22
cndand, it's a little outside of the scope of what we really need to backport07:22
cndyeah07:22
ricotzok07:22
cndin wacom and one other driver (I think synaptics), we might have to dance around the input abi07:22
ricotzsynaptic works07:22
ricotzhttps://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable/+packages07:23
ricotzi havent rebuild them all yet07:23
cndyeah, it might not be forward ported yet07:23
tjaaltonricotz: wacom d54d936146fa58fb10a1b6839e1413671f96f86e perhaps?07:23
ricotztjaalton, could be07:25
ricotzprobably all commits since 0.12 would be needed07:25
tjaaltonoh strong work dude, removed the wrong disk from a live system :P07:33
tjaaltonah, no i didn't, thought the one would've been wd blue instead of black..07:35
