SpamapSwondering if we should just accept that its going to be broken in 12.04 and accept the SRU.06:18
pittiI think so06:18
pittiwell, it's not "broken" as in "unintentionally not working"06:18
pittiwe are deliberately dropping support for 2.606:18
pitti(in precise, that is)06:18
SpamapSA gentle pat on the bottom of the errant user who hasn't found the joy of python 2.7 yet. ;)06:18

dholbachcjwatson, the ubuntu-changes-auto and ubuntu-patches mailing lists look like they are obsolete - is that correct? (just wondering if they should be moved to the bottom of http://lists.ubuntu.com)10:59
dholbachubuntu-changes-auto likely, but ubuntu-patches seems to have an empty archive, which is weird (I recall patches being sent on the list)11:00
cjwatsondholbach: I already mailed Elizabeth about this when she asked on behalf of the CC.  ubuntu-patches is *not* obsolete, it just isn't archived.11:00
dholbachok, thanks11:00
cjwatsonBecause it would be a waste of archive space.11:00

dholbachyes11:00
cjwatsondholbach: ubuntu-changes-auto probably is obsolete, though.11:01
dholbachgracias11:01

dholbachI will mail IS11:01
cjwatsonI don't believe we've used that since we switched from dak to Soyuz.11:01
cjwatsonBut it has archives, so perhaps a "historical interest" section or something. :-)11:02

sorenWow.11:06
sorensed is doing very interesting things for me right now.11:06
sorenGuess what output I get from: echo 'AA' | sed -e 's/[^A-Z]//g'11:07
sorenIf your guess is "not a thing", you're right.11:07
sorenecho 'AA' | LANG=C sed -e 's/[^A-Z]//g'11:08
sorenon the other hand..11:08
sorengives me "AA".11:08
sorenAwesomesauce.11:08
soren"aa" is the old Danish way of writing "å". I guess when you use ranges in sed it uses locale magic.11:09
sorenSo "aa" is interpreted as though it were "å".11:09
cjwatsonsoren: LC_COLLATE=C is your friend11:19
cjwatsonActually possibly LC_CTYPE=C in this case11:19
ionThings like getting sed/date/whatever to behave deterministically in a script are pretty much the only thing LC_ALL is good for.11:20
sorencjwatson: COLLATE seems to be the right one.11:22
cjwatsonI've had LC_COLLATE=C in .bashrc for years11:23
cjwatsonLots of locales' orderings go AaBbCc or whatever so that also makes [A-Z] not terribly useful11:23

argesdiwic, hello. any advice for getting a usb audio device to work? i'm pretty sure its somewhat standard as its outputting stereo fine, but it doesn't seem to register the inputs correctly.  not sure if I should be looking at pulseaudio/alsa etc. I can get it working fine with jackd. thanks13:42
diwicarges, do you have a bug nr with some hw info in it?13:43
argesdiwic, yea that will be the next step. just wanted to know which package would be best to associate with it.13:44
diwicarges, "ubuntu-bug audio"13:44
argesdiwic, ok. cool. i also wouldn't mind learning more about how to fix these types of issues to... so is there a wiki or place where I can look more into this to be more helpful?13:45

siretartthe system provided -Bsymbolic-function linker flags breaks on of my packages for precise. do we have a wiki page or something how to deal with that problem?13:54
scott-workdiwic: i believe i am doing well, thank you :)  just trying to resolve a few issues with ubuntu studio before A213:55
diwicscott-work, go ahead13:56
diwicscott-work, if there's anything you want to talk to me about? Otherwise; just keep up the good work :-)13:59
scott-workdiwic: nothing for you, acutally ;)   i just wanted to tell you 'hello' since we had met at uds-p :-)13:59
diwicscott-work, cool. Not sure how far we are at the PulseAudio <-> JACK handover stuff, last time I checked I remember we weren't there yet14:00
diwicscott-work, how is the low-latency kernel coming along?14:00
scott-workdiwic: amazingly, REVU does not seem functional at the moment, therefore we are lacking a verctor to get the kernel into the archives currently14:02
scott-workhowever, we are exploring other means and i plan to raise the issue during the weekly release team meeting this friday14:03
scott-workdiwic: WRT pulseaudio <-> jack; we are shipping the pulseaudio-module-jack with ubuntu studio, does that not lay the foundation for better integration?14:03
diwicscott-work, okay, are you finding the resources and people you need for "exploring other means"?14:03

jmlMy headset mic doesn't seem to work any more on Ubuntu14:05
scott-workdiwic: i will add checking pulseaudio<->jack integration for A2, would you like feedback on this?14:05
cjwatsonscott-work: mainly we need a clear specification of what your live environment should contain and how the installed system should differ from it14:06
scott-workcjwatson: i am inferring that you would expect the two to differ (well, actually you stated that pretty explicitly), but i am unsure how you feel they should differ14:07
scott-workcjwatson: sorry if that was cryptic or oblique, i mean that at this point i don't expect them to differ14:07
cjwatsonscott-work: well, as a simple existence proof, you don't want the installer on the installed system14:08
diwicscott-work, how important do you feel it is that it actually works (the handover)?14:08
diwicscott-work, if you/ubuntu-studio feels it's important, I guess I better get down to work and try to fix it ;-)14:09
scott-workcjwatson: aye, that is true and i think i am beginning to see your perspective14:09
scott-workcjwatson: i had statically viewed this from an installed system perspective, but you saying with the live environment as a base point, what would not go into the install14:10
scott-worki had viewed this as what would we exlucde from the installed system to define the live envirnoment14:11
=== bladernr_afk is now known as bladernr_
scott-workdiwic: i think that having pulseaudio<->jack integration is rather important and it certainly gives ubuntu studio a sense of legitimacy that other audio distributions already have14:12
cjwatsonscott-work: it's more usual, although not universal, for the live environment to be a superset of the installed system14:13
cjwatsonscott-work: ubiquity is much better at copying vast piles of files from the live environment and then removing a few packages at the end than it is at selecting new packages to install on top14:13
cjwatsonscott-work: anyway, this is why I need a spec of what it should do for your flavour :)14:13
siretartscott-work: pas de rien, please notify me when it breaks again (but it shouldn't)14:14

=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
cjwatsonscott-work: if you aren't intending any particular differences other than the installer, I can probably deal with it from there; but I do need to know what you want to have in the live system14:21
cjwatsonyou'll basically end up with something like the Edubuntu live seed on top14:22
scott-workcjwatson:  this may be a naive consideration, but are there reasons not to have everything that would be installed available in the live system?14:26
cjwatsonscott-work: only really details like the boot loader14:26
cjwatsonscott-work: or language packs perhaps14:26
cjwatsonscott-work: I'd expect the full set of applications to be available in the live system though14:26
scott-workcjwatson: that makes sense, thank you again for helping to clarify and explain the scope15:22

scott-worki think this is the last bit of information before i can answer you fully15:45
cjwatsonscott-work: it'll be easy enough to add them later15:45
cjwatsonscott-work: if I were you I would keep the seeds for the current tasks in place, and we can just have the live DVD assembled out of an appropriate selection of those, with stuff like the installer bolted on top15:46

mwhudsonbarry: no, that would have been a good question21:13
mwhudsonbarry: lucid21:15
barrymwhudson: just a sec...21:18
mwhudsonbarry: i now have an account with sudo on the machine in question :-)21:18
barrymwhudson: lpbug 68930621:21
mwhudsonbarry: ah, this is a lucid -> maverick upgrade in progress21:21
barrymwhudson: see comment #9 in bug 68930621:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 689306 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "package python2.7-minimal 2.7.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68930621:22
barrywe really should fix this properly :/21:22
mwhudsonah hah21:22
mwhudsonbarry: so basically the trick is to install python2.7-minimal and python2.7 from natty?21:23
barrymwhudson: that's what doko suggests.  i haven't run into this personally21:24
fijalhi21:24
mwhudsonbarry, meet fijal :-)21:24
barryhi fijal :)21:25
fijalhi barry :)21:25
barryfijal: are you "the friend"? :)21:26
fijalI hope so ;-)21:26
barry:)21:26
* mwhudson runs dpkg --configure --pending, it is doing some stuff21:27
mwhudsonbut python2.7-minimal failed21:27
barryand that was after installing the natty versions?21:28
fijalbarry: I think I tried to upgrade to natty and then to oneiric21:28
fijalbut it all failed fairly horribly21:29
barry:(21:29
mwhudsonlsb-release thinks it's maverick currently fwiw21:29
fijalI don't even need python2.7, since I have tons of pythons somewhere else ;-)21:29
barryfijal: you might try uninstalling python2.7 and python2.7-minimal then.  you'll get them back during the upgrade21:30
fijalhow do I uninstall them?21:30
fijalapt-get remove fails21:30
barrydang21:31
fijalbecause stuff is half-installed21:31
fijalhttp://paste.pocoo.org/show/536945/21:31
fijalbarry: to be precise21:31
barryfijal: try apt-get -f install but i bet it will fail21:32
fijalthat goes back to python2.7-minimal failing21:32
fijalbarry: are there fixed versions of those packets available somewhere?21:33
barryfijal: did you see the above comment about bug 689306 comment #9 ?21:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 689306 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "package python2.7-minimal 2.7.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68930621:33
mwhudsonwell, judging by the bug report, natty21:33
barryin that doko suggests where to get the working packages21:33
mwhudsoni also wonder if you can hack the postinst21:34
fijalbarry: so why does oneiric ones don't work?21:34
mwhudsonor mv /usr/share/python/runtime.d/public_modules.rtinstall /usr/share/python/runtime.d/public_modules.rtinstall-disabled, or something21:34
barryfijal: did you try the oneiric ones, or are you asking whether you can try the oneiric ones?21:34
fijalbarry: I did try the oneiric ones21:35
fijal(I guess those were downloaded when I did dist-upgrade)21:35
fijalin related news, aptitude dist-upgrade ate 4G of RAM and crashed :/21:35
mwhudsonfijal: you know skipping releases is unsupported right?21:35
fijalmwhudson: no :)21:35
mwhudsonah21:35
mwhudsonwell21:35
mwhudsonfijal: skipping releases is unsupported21:35
mwhudsonunless it's lts->lts21:35
barryyep21:36
fijalah ok21:36
fijalso how do I get out of mess?21:36
fijaldo I do upgrade maverick->natty->oneiric?21:36
fijalor would it just all fail?21:36
fijalsince there is stuff installed already21:36
mwhudsonwell, i guess going back in time and starting again would be best :-)21:36
mwhudsoni don't know that "unsupported" means "doesn't work"21:36
mwhudsonjust "isn't tested"21:37
fijalapparently21:37
barryfijal: i would first try to get out of the python2.7-minimal mess by installing the natty version21:37
fijalthat's the same thing, isn't it21:37
fijalbarry: that started the problem21:37
barrydarn21:37
mwhudsonfijal: i'd like to try mv /usr/share/python/runtime.d/public_modules.rtinstall /usr/share/python/runtime.d/public_modules.rtinstall-disabled21:37
mwhudsonand then dpkg-reconfigure --pending21:38
mwhudsonand then put it back21:38
barryyeah, give that a shot21:38
fijalmwhudson: try?21:38
fijalmwhudson: it won't be any worse, seriously21:38
mwhudsonok going21:38
mwhudsonok, now it's just the perl crud that's failing to configure21:39
barrymwhudson: what's this "perl" thing of which you speak?21:39
mwhudsonfijal: it's going to take a while, so maybe you should run it: try apt-get install -f again21:39
fijalrunning21:40
fijalmwhudson: works much better21:46
mwhudsonyay21:46
fijalmwhudson: any surprizes ahead?21:47
barryyay21:47
mwhudsonfijal: if i knew that, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it? :)21:47
fijal:]21:47
fijalsurprises for me ;-)21:47
mwhudsonjudging from /var/log/apt/term.log it seems to be going fine21:47
mwhudsonfijal: are you in .za?21:48
fijalmwhudson: ya21:48
mwhudsoni'm surprised how easy it is to type over ssh21:48
fijalseems like gonna stay here for the forseeable future21:48
mwhudsonyou must have good internet21:49
fijalssh goes via poland btw21:49
mwhudson!21:49
fijalthe best!21:49
fijal4M ADSL21:49
fijal(I'm serious, that's the best option I could get)21:50
mwhudsonheh21:50
fijalmwhudson: you should come and visit :)21:50
fijalit's not *that* far21:50
mwhudsoni do some stuff currently which involves ssh over dsl to the uk and it's a royal pain21:50
* fijal somehow enjoys sentences with "royal" and "uk"21:50
mwhudsonfijal: heh would be nice21:51
mwhudsonprobably not soon, realistically21:51
fijalI'm not in a rush21:51
fijal(this is africa after all)21:51
mwhudson:)21:51
fijalI would come to NZ if some conference pays for tickets ;-)21:52
fijaltumbleweed: hi :)21:58
tumbleweedhi21:59
tumbleweedI see you are sorted, good :)21:59
fijalso....21:59
fijalhow do we go about debian -> ubuntu pypy import?22:00
tumbleweedgood question22:00
tumbleweedthis time of night is bad for these sort of discussions22:00
fijalok :)22:01
fijalI'm fine having it tomorrow22:01
micahgtumbleweed: we're still mid-day in the US here :)22:01
tumbleweedmicahg: I can't see ScottK or doko22:01
* ScottK is staying far away from pypy.22:02
tumbleweedbarry: any thoughts on sneaking a pypy into precise? (It would be a only-useful-with-virtualenv pypy)22:02
tumbleweedScottK: hrm, my tabc-completion didn't see you22:02
ScottKtumbleweed: It's still pre-Feature Freeze, so no sneaking required.22:02
tumbleweedScottK: yeah, I notice most of debian-python is :)22:03
barrytumbleweed: hi.  there was some feedback from michael foord suggesting that we really should package 1.7 instead of 1.6 (or 1.8 if it were ready in time)22:03
barryfijal: ^^22:03
mwhudsonfijal: looks like something blew up again22:03
mwhudsonkde this time22:03
tumbleweedwe have 1.7 now. 1.8 is expected to release soon, and would be easy enough to upgrade to22:03
fijalI can have it in a week-two22:03
fijalwhen is feature freeze?22:03
tumbleweedfijal: round the corner, but this is a leaf package, so we can upload a new version after the freeze22:04
mwhudson  Package udev is not configured yet. doesn't look happy22:04
tumbleweedhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule22:04
barrytumbleweed: so, it's just a matter of syncing it from experimental?22:04
tumbleweedbarry: it hasn't built on arm in Debian (none of the buildds have enough ram)22:04
barry:)22:05
mwhudsonRemoving 'diversion of /sbin/udevadm to /sbin/udevadm.upgrade by fake-udev'22:05
mwhudsoninfo: unrecognized option '--convert-db'22:05
mwhudsondpkg: error processing udev (--configure):22:05
tumbleweedbut it seems to work fine on x86 and ppc (although there are some lingering big-endian issues)22:05
tumbleweedhttps://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pypy&suite=experimental <- pretty sorry state :/22:05
barryi'm a big +1 on it even if it's only usable in a virtualenv22:05
tumbleweedin that case, I need to get our virtualenv to support it22:05
barrytumbleweed: hmm. have you tried to build it in a ppa?22:06
tumbleweedbarry: non-canonical, I don't get armel PPAs22:06
tumbleweedbut no, I haven't22:06
fijalas far as we're concerned, pypy on ARM & PPC will be useful in some months22:07
fijalnot now and not 1.822:07
barryi actually have a local armel buildbot so i could do a bit of debugging.  well, let me grab the debian package and build it in my ppa and see how it goes.22:07
barryfijal: ah22:07
tumbleweedbarry: you'll need 2G of RAM22:07
fijalbarry: it has not JIT22:07
fijaland as such "just a less compatible python that's a fair bit slower"22:07
mwhudsonwe need some of these http://www.calxeda.com/products/energycore/ecx100022:07
barryouch, okay, maybe not on my local arm box :)22:07
fijalis not *really* that interesting22:07
fijalno JIT22:08
barrywell, even i386 and amd64 would be very nice to have22:08
fijalyes22:08
tumbleweedfijal: sure, but once we start integrating it with other packages, we need it to be at least functional on all archs22:08
fijalthose are two platforms where I can see uses22:08
tumbleweedotherwise things just get too messy22:08
fijalok22:08
fijaltumbleweed: still, months away22:08
tumbleweedyeah, but that's not important for precies, I think22:09
fijalalso because we don't have buildbots22:09
barryi think a big question, which also affects jython and is really a question for debian-python, is how do we provide packages for alternative implementations?22:09
barrybut we can worry about that later22:09
fijalbarry: can we say "we don't" for now?22:09
barryfijal: yes, definitely (imo)22:09
fijal"use it with virtualenv" does not sound like a bad idea22:09
barryfijal: agreed22:09
tumbleweedbut we need to start thinking of a long-term plan22:10
barryokay, let me start by building the experimental package in my ppa and see how that goes. if it looks reasonable, i'll sync it (but it'll end up in the new queue and will need approval)22:10
fijalbarry: btw, our releases are loosely-time-based and there are no reasons why they happen at the point they do22:10
fijalso we can somehow coordinates times, if that would help you22:10
fijal(as a symmetry breaking thing rather)22:10
tumbleweedbarry: grab the current git head, I bumpde the memory requirement in the last upload, but it looks like it was unecessary (it wasn't the problem on ia64, I don't know what was)22:11
barrytumbleweed: i'm still trying to figure out how to use !svn with debian :(22:12
slangasekwhy does evince no longer give me a total page count?22:12
fijalI'm going to bed anyway22:13
barryfijal: i think if you released a 1.8 by mid-february, tumbleweed could update debian, and then we could sync into ubuntu in time22:13
fijalbarry: I'll certainly do that, preferably in Jan22:13
tumbleweedbarry: I added PEP3147, but I'm not convinced that was necessary, yet. I'd love feedback :)22:13
barryfijal: that would be great,then we wouldn't have to do a freeze exception22:13
fijalbarry: our releases are very light :)22:14
fijalthey're just blessed nightlies that don't fail tests22:14
tumbleweedbarry: if you want to sync it, I'll grant the exception :P22:14
barrytumbleweed: nice!  i'm not sure either, but it can't hurt :)22:14
fijalbut don't tell anyone ;-)22:14
barryfijal: :)22:14
barrytumbleweed: beauty22:14
