RAOFWoot!  I've got a system that refuses to upgrade to precise due to an inability to configure libtinfo5 for libncurses5.  How do I get do-release-upgrade to dump enough debugging info for someone to work this out?02:55
elmoRAOF: it tends to dump enough information into /var/log/dist-upgrade/ by default03:00
RAOFHah!  There it is.03:01

broderi wonder if it makes sense to make the series nomination link visible again but make it a link to a wiki page a la +filebug04:02
broderbackports has been seeing a non-zero number of bugs that are really SRUs. one person commented today that they were doing it to raise awareness since they couldn't nominate anymore04:02
broderi wonder if that's reflective of more of those bugs than we realized04:02
broder(yes, i realize that redirecting to the wiki link on +filebug sucks and that nobody likes it)04:03
* ScottK wonders what the feedback mechanism was meant to be when the nomination link was removed?04:05
broderi think it was intended to be #ubuntu-bugs. i'm not sure how people were supposed to discover that04:05
micahgnominating doesn't necessarily help without someone try drive the patch04:07
* ScottK was going to guess "We're drowing, we can't afford to care".04:08
ScottKTrue.04:08
micahgalthough, I supposed that the nomination queue could be looked at as a source of things to do if it was used as such04:08
ScottKIf anyone much cared about bugs ...04:09
micahgwe care, but we're drowning04:10
micahgalmost 100k open bugs with >50% new04:11
* micahg is reminded of the need to go through all the Firefox bugs at some point...04:11
ScottKRight, but what's more important, fixing bugs or pushing new features?04:12
broderwhat is it called again, the gnome adhd monkey syndrome? "if i replace the feature, i don't have to fix its bugs!" :)04:13
ScottKAlso a lot of those aren't even actually bugs.  I know a large fraction of the bugs open against postfix in Ubuntu are PEBKAC issues.04:13
ScottKbroder: If it's Gnome, I think you mean remove, not replace.04:13
broderhmm...on a side note, i should probably get my rear end moving if pre-release backports is going to be ready by feature freeze, huh?04:15
micahgwould be nice this cycle :)04:16
broderi think i made it as far as breaking the lp test suite last time i looked04:18

dokocjwatson, apw: what is our policy to ship separately buit kernel modules? I know that we do that for restricted modules, but is this accept for other dkms modules in main?10:27
apwi am unsure if there is a policy, cirtainly we have had other dkms packages around, there was an iscsi one for some time10:29
dokoapw, looking at the openvswitch package10:30
cjwatsonIIRC it's OK strictly provided that they're dkms10:30
cjwatsonwe've removed non-dkms ones in the past because we couldn't maintain them10:30
cjwatsondo look into whether they're going to be kept well up to date though ...10:31
apwopenvswitch is the openstack transport isn't it ?10:31
dokoso this comes with a openvswitch-datapath-source *and* a openvswitch-datapath-dkms binary package10:31
dokoyes10:31
pittithat looks broken indeed10:32
apwyeah if its dkms its usually liveable with, and often if it is version tied with userspace having them in the same package is better10:32
pittiusually, a dkms "binary" package sohuld just ship the source tarball and dkms control script10:32
pittibut it should be arch: all then10:32
pittiah, openvswitch-datapath-dkms is, looked at the wrongone10:32
DavieyHmm10:33
dokoso we should stop building openvswitch-datapath-source?10:34
pittiit looks a little redundant10:35
pittibut it seems -source would integrate with module-assistant10:35
pittiwhiel -dkms auto-builds with dkms10:35
Davieyright, what benefit do we get from changing t?10:35

dokoseb128, is it correct that it tries to link the static lib?12:56
seb128doko, dunno, that doesn't happen here, but I would think that the first bug (the missing -lx11) would stop the build12:58
seb128doko, I'm not sure to understand the gio one and why the .a is listed there12:59

cjwatsonIt's a bit annoying that the mail shows up as from me: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/oneiric-changes/2012-January/011816.html16:00
seb128since the emails lists you in the "Signed-By"16:00
cjwatsonBut not the end of the world I guess16:00
cjwatsonYeah, it's like new-style syncs16:00
seb128cjwatson, ok, that's fine, I just got surprised16:00
cjwatsonsigned ~= requested16:01
seb128cjwatson, maybe it's worth dropping a note about on the list in case others get confused as well16:01
cjwatsonI agree the presentation isn't entirely ideal but I figure people will get used to it :)16:01
cjwatsonmm, could be16:01
* cjwatson adds to todo16:01
seb128cjwatson, thanks ;-)16:01
cjwatsonI suppose we could do the syncs as the katie user, which would inhibit the mail16:02
cjwatsonI might test that16:02
cjwatsonsomething like http://paste.ubuntu.com/823985/16:04
seb128cjwatson, I'm not sure the email is an issue, it tells you that the updated got verified and moved so it can be useful informations, the change of behaviour is just a bit confusing (as any change ;-)16:05
cjwatsonThis is true.  The Signed-By is kind of odd though.16:06
dokozul, just to confirm, you did the packaging for python-keystoneclient, didn't you?16:17

smoseranyone know what it is that creates /dev/loop[0-7]16:29
smoserit seems that with current precise kernel, we can have up to /dev/loop25516:30
smoser(previously that required adding 'max_loop=')16:30
highvoltagesmoser: /etc/udev/links.conf16:31
smoseri dont have such a file16:31
smoser:)16:31
smosermaybe udev is responding to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=8 (kernel config)16:31
brodersmoser: iirc the loop module does that on its own at load16:33
smoserits builtin now. so it just must be the kernel adding devices on the initialization of that driver16:33
smoserand udev responding perhaps ?16:33
broderwhy does udev need to respond?16:33
smoserand the min being setup by that config.16:33
smoserbroder, your suggesting it doesn't have to do anything because of devtmpfs ?16:34
brodermy understanding was that device nodes are generally created by the kernel16:35
smoser(my knowledge is fuzzy here, but prior to devtmpfs i did not think that was the case)16:35
broderand then udev is just responsible for figuring out which modules need to be loaded so those modules can go and create the device nodes themselves16:35
smoserwell, prior to devtmpfs, /dev was either a general tmpfs or a "normal(ext3)" filesystem  (or devfs) so the kernel wasn't just creating nodes int he filesystem.16:37
brodersmoser: you can see the loop driver creating the nodes when it initializes: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.2.2/drivers/block/loop.c#L181316:38
broderi couldn't tell you how exactly it does it, but it definitely does16:38
pgranercjwatson, quick question, have you seen 11.10 server iso issues when booting from USB stick, it boots but won't find the cdrom drive16:47
pgranercjwatson, which is a strange since it doesn't have one on this box16:47
cjwatsonpgraner: can I have logs please?16:48
pgranercjwatson, sure which ones?16:48
cjwatsonsyslog and partman16:49
cjwatsonwell actually just syslog for this I guess16:49
pgranercjwatson, ack16:49
cjwatsonalso does precise work?16:49
pgranercjwatson, haven't tried precise yet, I was installing and they planning on testing the upgrade :(16:53
pgranercjwatson, ok so I have no network and it won't see USB sticks16:53
cjwatsonwell I need some way to see what's going on16:54
pgranercjwatson, the error is: cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount failed: device=/dev/sr0 fstype=iso966016:54
cjwatsonyou could try booting the precise installer and walking through the installer up to that point, you don't have to actually do an install16:54
cjwatsonmm, usually need a screenful of context16:54
pgranercjwatson, ok I'll snap a pic16:55
cjwatsonalso how did you create the USB stick?16:55
pgranercjwatson, dd16:55
cjwatsonok16:55
cjwatsonfrom tty2, run 'list-devices maybe-usb-floppy; list-devices usb-partition'16:56
pgranercjwatson, both return no output16:57
cjwatsonwell that sucks.  does the kernel actually know about any USB devices?16:57
pgranercjwatson, its sees the keyboard & mouse16:58
pgranercjwatson, not the usbstick16:59
pgranercjwatson, email sent with screen shot16:59
cjwatsontry booting a live CD and see what driver it uses for the USB stick16:59
cjwatsoner a live USB stick16:59
cjwatsonthe kernel packaging needs to deliver that to the installer in some appropriate udeb17:00
pgranercjwatson, ok let me get one downloaded and I'll give it a shot17:00

cjwatsonpgraner: ok, so I think the right answer is to file a kernel bug asking them to add xhci-hcd to the usb-modules udeb (I checked; it isn't there)17:35

pgranervanhoof, the server iso doesn't have xhci in the usb-modules udeb so you can't install off a usb3 port from usb stick18:00

astraljavastgraber: Hiya, Studio wants to create a similar feature in ubiquity, that edubuntu uses. My problem is that I can't find the original source branch, that stores the ubiquity/plugins/*.py files. If you have time at some point, could you point me to the right tracks, please? Thanks!18:07
vanhoofpgraner: and if not, see if you have that same bios toggle18:07
vanhoofpgraner: been coming up in a few new bugs this week18:07
astraljavaWell, Studio as well as Xubuntu.18:07
stgraberastraljava: the package selection stuff is in edubuntu-live18:08
astraljavastgraber: lp:ubuntu/edubuntu-live? I was just told that it gets created on upload. So I don't get where the upload gathers the stuff from.18:09
stgraberastraljava: that's indeed the branch. It's a UDD branch, uploads are automatically commited to it and people with upload rights can also commit changes to it without uploading18:10
astraljavastgraber: Ok, so how would Studio and Xubuntu get similar branches, then? I see that that branch is owned by Ubuntu branches (team?).18:11
stgraberastraljava: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-intro.html18:12
stgraberastraljava: for now, just copy the python scripts to your own package, that's the easiest18:12

argescyphermox, so I think I got almost everything needed for an SRU here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/828731  . was wondering if you could take a look and see if it looks ok.19:04
ubottuUbuntu bug 828731 in kexec-tools (Ubuntu Oneiric) "kdump functionality not working as expected when /boot is a separate partition" [Medium,In progress]19:04
cyphermoxarges: alright19:09
argescyphermox, thanks19:10
cyphermoxarges: so, comments:19:23
cyphermoxarges: bug 828731 was needing ubuntu-sru subscribed, I added it. I can't upload kexec-tools though, so I'll have to defer to somebody else to sponsor it, but it looks correct (and has apparently already had testing)19:24

cyphermoxarges: however, you're also closing bug 785425 in your changelog, so that one too should have ubuntu-sru subscribed, with an SRU rationale, and targetted to the releases19:25

cyphermoxWe're testing a milestone of the development release20:16
Atlantic777So 12.04 is the newest release I can get?20:16
Atlantic777actually it's not a release until it's released :D20:16
cyphermoxIt is, though you should really only "use" it if you're confortable with things breaking every once in a while20:17

simmelSpamapS: That's kind of why I didn't ask the question during the talk also = )21:35
SpamapSsimmel: CDBS stands alone, without debhelper, though it can help with debhelper rulesets. The key there is, with debhelper 7, thats not necessary21:35
directhexcdbs /o\21:36
SpamapSsimmel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debhelper21:36
SpamapSsimmel: see the 3 line rules file? That is a new thing.. before that, CDBS was the quickest way to be able to have something similar.21:36
SpamapSsimmel: I have to run now, but I'm sure you'll find lots of people who can help here. :)21:39
* simmel gets confused with the debhelper.mk in CDBS and actual debhalper.21:39
simmelSpamapS: Thanks again.21:39
jtaylorthose small rules usually go by the name dh-721:40
directhexdh7 \o/21:40
jtaylorsaying only debhelper is a bit confusing as most of cdbs also calls dh_* stuff21:41
jtaylorjust all hidden in undocumented black magic21:41
slangasekwe should just start calling cdbs 'debhinderer' ;)21:42
simmelIt's not black magic if you know how to use it ; )21:42
simmelOne other reasons that I'm confused is because https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete mentions CDBS alot and not any mention that it shouldn't be used.21:44
slangasekyes, not distinguishing between best practices and "things you have to deal with if you're going to be an Ubuntu developer" is a major failing of the documentation21:45
simmelhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/PackagingGuide/Python#The_debhelper_way looks preetty good though.21:46
slangasekhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide does say to use http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ instead21:47
slangasekwe should probably nuke /Complete, at this point21:48
simmelOh! Is there a Complete/All-pages version of that? Except Show source?21:48
slangasekI'm not sure21:49
slangasekbarry: hey, do you know if there's a pdf version of http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ ?21:49
simmelSorry for beeing lazy here, totally OK to reprimand me, but was debhelper >= 7 available in lucid or earlier or is it a new thing?21:49
jtaylorits available in lucid21:50
simmelcool, thanks jtaylor.21:50
barryslangasek: i don't, but it wouldn't be hard to generate, from the trunk branch (`make pdf` should do it).  i can check, since i'm updating that branch for the new udd stuff as we speak (i have a session tomorrow)21:50
simmelI will discuss this with my colleagues tomorrow and see if we can't use the new debhelper way. Also, probably should fix our Hudson buildslaves to use sbuilder instead of pbuilder too = )21:51
barryslangasek: make latexpdf21:51
simmelbarry: Is there a single .html-file available aswell? Or is .txt and .pdf the only single-page versions?21:51
barrysimmel: it's sphinx so there are several options.  bzr branch lp:ubuntu-packaging-guide then run 'make' no options to see what you can generate21:53
