smoserwhere does 'apt-install' in the server installer (debian-installer) come from?03:23
smoseri'm just wondering what changed that caused bug 91243103:23

smoserslangasek, cjwatson ? i'm sure one of you know.03:30
smoserwe're hoping to do work on juju doing installs via cobbler during the rally, and this is currently broken03:31

chrisccoulsonnow we're only 3.5 weeks until the firefox 10 release ;)10:58

chrisccoulsonheh11:00
chrisccoulsonand, 3.5 weeks to fix this KDE patch!11:00
chrisccoulsong'ah11:00
chrisccoulsonit's way too late in the beta cycle to be making significant code changes11:01
micahgI'm hoping we'll have an upstream powerpc FTBFS fix by then11:01
chrisccoulsonif we care about it, then we should just fix it rather than waiting for somebody else to do it ;)11:02
micahgglandium was working on it, I'll check in with him next week (he had a partial fix, but something was wrong), I filed a tracking bug for it11:02

sveinseI'm here because I don't know where else to ask. I hope it not OT:11:41
sveinseI'm trying to apt-get into a staging directory (on a Ubuntu system). I've used the apt config option RootDir to prefix into the staging dir. Then I run apt-get update. It downloads the indexes to the staging dir, however it fails at the end as it tries to access /var/lib/dpkg/lock without the staging dir prefix. Bug?11:41
sveinseOn a Natty system, sorry11:41
seb128cjwatson, hey, is the .maintscript use documented somewhere?11:42
seb128i.e the format of the files, the version of dpkg needed, the pre-depends stuff etc?11:42
seb128somewhere like in a manpage or a wiki, I keep looking for examples on my disk every time I set one, I didn't find a reference documentation11:43
cjwatsonseb128: Pre-Depends documented in dpkg-maintscript-helper(1), file format documented in dh_installdeb(1)11:43
sveinseWhen strace-ing the apt-get, I see that it uses the proper stage dir prefix as setup in the config, except at the end where it tries to access the host's dpkg lock file.11:43
cjwatsonand in fact the latter documents the substvar needed so that you don't need to know the precise pre-depends version11:44
seb128cjwatson, ok thanks11:45

ubottuLaunchpad bug 911813 in gdm (Ubuntu Precise) "Lucid to Precise: debconf prompt about which DM to use during upgrade" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91181312:14
pittijibel: I think I know what's wrong, but as it takes ages to reproduce, could we just wait for the next auto-run to verify?12:15
pittiThe fix I'm doing is necessary anyway, I'm just only 90% sufe it's sufficient12:15
pitti"sure"12:15
pittijibel: ah, and it's a race condition, too; if gdm gets configured before lightm, it happens, otherwise not12:18
jibelpitti, no, the test didn't discovered it. It's on my todo to find why.12:44
pittijibel: might just have been lucky, it's a race condition12:44
jibelpitti, very lucky then because I reproduced it more than once.12:45

SpamapSyou know what is *blatantly* missing from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements  ? *documentation*17:45
psusicjwatson: say, at what point do you think Ubuntu should drop grub-legacy?17:48
cjwatsonpsusi: I'm in no rush17:49
psusiwhy not?  grub2 has been in since hardy... ;)17:49
cjwatsonthere are still enough corner cases of one kind or another; I don't see a need to deliberately break them17:49
ogra_we should drop it as soon as we drop lilo ;)17:50
psusihrm... is there a list of them so that grub2 can be fixed to handle them?17:50
psusiwell, lilo still has upstream support doesn't it?  so that's just a matter of preference17:50
cjwatsonnot coherently.  xen support is a big one, which I know is in the works17:50
cjwatsonbut there are probably various odd bugs17:50
psusixen support?  what's wrong there?  I thought we recently got a xen package that you just install and it sets up grub2 to load the xen hypervisor as the kernel and the kernel and initrd as modules and off it goes?17:51
cjwatsongrub2 doesn't have any xen support17:52
cjwatsonas in guest17:52
cjwatsonI'm not talking about the hypervisor17:53
psusiI thought the guest didn't use grub... that the xen tools just loaded the kernel and initrd directly17:53
cjwatsonpvgrub17:53
psusiohh... hrm... interesting...17:54
cjwatsonhence e.g. grub-legacy-ec217:54
cjwatsonanyway, I don't see any reason to rush.  It takes negligible amounts of my time to maintain and it's no longer the default so it shouldn't get in people's way particularly17:54
cjwatson"maintain" i.e. leave alone and occasionally fix build bugs or whatever17:55
* psusi wants to whack the bug list ;)17:57
cjwatsonthey aren't hurting anyone18:00
psusicjwatson: which partman package deals with copying partitions?18:00
cjwatsonpartman-partitioning has the UI for it; the actual copy is done by a COPY_PARTITION command to parted_server (in partman-base) which is mostly implemented in libparted18:01
cjwatson(whether that works in libparted 3 I don't know)18:01

slangasekjodh: bug #912558> maybe it's noteworthy that in his screenshot before the crash, he's getting a lot of spam from udev due to a broken rule in /etc/udev/rules.d?19:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 912558 in upstart (Ubuntu Precise) "log.c Assert failed - err=>number == EIO" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91255819:10
jodhslangasek: can you point me at the screenshot you're looking at as the one on that bug doesn't mention udev (?)19:14
jodhslangasek: the good news is that daviey and I have -- we believe -- just identified the problem causing the assert failure :)19:14
slangasekjodh: ah, what's the problem?19:15
slangasekjodh: the one showing udev is this: http://bootie.daviey.com/~dave/erk/precise-init-crash.jpg19:15
slangasekapparently Daviey trimmed the context when posting to the bug!  Bad bug submitter! :)19:15
jodhslangasek: that seriously hurts my eyes :)19:16
jodhslangasek: if upstart attempts to run a single-line *non-existent* command with no shell meta-characters in it, the assertion fires.19:17
* slangasek blinks19:17
slangasekhow specific!19:17
slangasekso he has some non-standard job on his system that's triggering it?19:17
jodhslangasek: yeah!19:17
slangasekoh, because that's tied in with getting a different return value from exec(), right19:18
jodhslangasek: I have a fix for it but it'll need atleast 1 new build test and 1 new runtime test (so prolly tomorrow).19:18
slangasekok19:18
jodhslangasek: yes, so the child process fails in that specific instance and the io watch therefore has an invalid fd to watch, hence the follow-on "bad file descriptor" error.19:18
* slangasek nods19:20
jodhslangasek: so, you hit this bug if you've removed a package but the .conf files persist, as they refer to non-existent binaries.19:21
jodhslangasek: I'll update the bug with this and a script folks can run to convince me I've fully understood the problem.19:22
SpamapSjodh: nice work finding it (and hiding from your arch-nemesis, jhunt ;)19:49
