[02:09] Q-FUNK: can you describe the kind of setup? [02:10] @pilot in === udevbot changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Archive: soft freeze for Alpha 2 | Development of Ubuntu (not support, not app development) | build failures -> http://bit.ly/or6CHJ | #ubuntu for support and general discussion for hardy -> oneiric | #ubuntu-app-devel for app development on Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | See #ubuntu-bugs for http://bit.ly/lv8soi | Patch Pilots: cyphermox [02:10] e.g. is it using NetworkManager, do you have static interfaces defined in /e/n/i, etc. [02:22] cyphermox: one host has exactly one ethernet. same result whether I directly use dhclient or via n-m. loopback fails to resolve to the outside world. [02:22] Q-FUNK: you shouldn't have anything set for loopback via dhclient directly [02:23] cyphermox: the other one has two ethers, one using dhclient, one with a fixed IP to serve my LTSP clients, both configured via /etc/network. [02:23] cyphermox: you misread me. resolvconf puts loopback as the only nameserver host. [02:23] Q-FUNK: for kicks, what's in /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf on the system that runs NM? [02:24] * micahg mutters something about insserv and wanders off [02:24] Q-FUNK: not really. resolvconf by itself doesn't add 127.0.0.1 [02:24] Q-FUNK: but NM might, if it got dns servers from a dhcp client [02:24] server, I mean [02:25] cyphermox: no idea what sets that as the only nameserver, but I know that if I purge resolvconf, I get the normal DNS servers sent by DHCP there. [02:26] you should compare these DNS servers with whatever is in /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf on the system that runs NM, your answer possibly lies there. [02:27] cyphermox: on the host running n-m, /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf is what I should expect from the DHCP server. [02:28] good [02:28] so then is dnsmasq running? [02:28] (or even installed) [02:31] Q-FUNK: or is anything else listening on udp/tcp 53 acting as a caching nameserver, like bind for instance? [02:32] dnsmasq seems to be running [02:34] and doing something like "dig @127.0.0.1" results in a NOERROR with no answers, a REFUSED, or NXDOMAIN response? [02:54] that replies with all the root servers [03:00] Q-FUNK: then shouldn't things be working properly? I'm not sure I understand what the issue is then [03:02] cyphermox: doing 'apt-get update' replies with cannot resolve host archive.ubuntu.com [03:03] isn't "dig archive.ubuntu.com @127.0.0.1" working? [03:03] (unless you don't have 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf?) [03:03] i only have that in there [03:05] much more worrysome is the host controlled by /etc/network/interface: dnsmasq doesn't show in 'ps' [03:05] sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble grasping exactly what might be going wrong if you can reach the loopback nameserver via dig, /etc/resolv.conf has 127.0.0.1 and all, unless the external nameservers just can't resolve archive.ubuntu.com (which would be something out of my control, really) [03:05] Q-FUNK: on that other host NM isn't running at all? [03:06] if not, I don't know what adds 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf. you mentioned a switch or option to dhclient for that in a bug, maybe that's enabled? [03:07] there's no point in having such an option enabled if there is no nameserver running locally to grab the requests and parsing/sending them out [03:07] that's on another host; the only one on which resolvconf works as expected, oddly enough. [03:09] anyway, on all systems the main idea is to see what 127.0.0.1 responds as far as the host you're interested in goes. so if "dig archive.ubuntu.com @127.0.0.1" works for any such system, and that's that IP is the only thing in /etc/resolv.conf, then I don't see why things wouldn't just work [03:11] that's just it. on the host controlled by /etc/network/interface, dig returns nothing [03:12] nothing at all or an error? [03:12] dnsmasq doens't run on it, either [03:13] ; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> archive.ubuntu.com @127.0.0.1 [03:13] ;; global options: +cmd [03:13] ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [03:13] aye [03:13] that's expected if dnsmasq isn't running [03:13] (or any other process on port 53 to shepherd dns requests) [03:14] now then, why could resolv.conf be getting 127.0.0.1. [03:14] Is this written anywhere in /etc/resolvconf/* ? [03:16] you should also make sure it's not coming from a file in /run/resolvconf/interface (which is where things speak with resolvconf) and that /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf (which will make sure you're really looking at resolvconf writing that entry) [03:17] * cyphermox thinks we ought to figure out a way to include some such debug information in an apport hook for resolvconf, without including personal info [03:18] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 helmi 1 05:09 /etc/resolv.conf -> /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [03:19] and /run/resolvconf/interface/eth0.dhclient has exactly what the dhcp server sent. [03:23] ah, wait. dnsmasq-base is used by nm, right? since I don't have any interface controlled by nm, could this be why dnsmasq isn't running? [03:23] yes, dnsmasq ought to be started by /something/ [03:23] but if everything is controlled outside NM, is that running at all? [03:24] that runs, but without anything launching dnsamasq, we cannot call home [03:24] is there a /run/resolvconf/interface/NetworkManager file? [03:25] or see if /var/log/syslog mentions NM updating nameservers [03:25] none [03:25] something like NetworkManager[1194]: (wlan0): writing resolv.conf to /sbin/resolvconf in /var/log/syslog [03:26] might mean you're seeing a side-effect of NM considering unmanaged interfaces as up [03:26] but if there is no NM file in /run/resolvconf/interface, it's probably not it [03:28] there isn't any [03:29] Feb 1 04:03:40 voito dnsmasq[1090]: failed to access /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole [03:29] : file not found [03:30] could it be that dnsmasq-base forgot to create /var/run/dnsmasq upon install? [03:31] I grep'ed for occurences of resolv.conf [03:40] Feb 1 05:34:19 voito NetworkManager[511]: DNS: starting dnsmasq... [03:40] Feb 1 05:34:19 voito dnsmasq[708]: no interface with address 127.0.0.1 [03:40] Feb 1 05:34:19 voito dnsmasq[708]: FAILED to start up [03:40] Feb 1 05:34:30 voito NetworkManager[511]: dnsmasq exited with error: Network access problem (address in use; permissions; etc) (2) [03:40] I wonder what would cause that? [03:41] well, looks like as a minimum, you're missing lo in /etc/network/interfaces [03:41] (or anyway, why would dnsmasq find that there is no interface with 127.0.0.1?) [03:41] no, it's there [03:41] it appears in 'ip addr' too [03:41] ok [03:42] doesn't /var/run/dnsmasq exist? [03:44] nope [03:46] dnsmasq-base ships with /var/run, rather than with /var/run/dnsmasq [03:47] either way, since this is /var/run content, it would need to be dynamically created by the init script at bootup. [03:48] yes [03:48] or by the application itself [03:50] in this case, most probably by nm [04:11] cyphermox: confirmed. dnsmasq won't really be launched unless at least one interface is managed by n-m. [04:12] right, but NM won't be adding 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf either then [04:13] (otherwise it would be adding a log about it in changelog) [04:13] err, syslog I mean [04:13] or you can file a bug about it -- I'm just wrapping things up to go to bed now [04:15] I'm still not sure what's causing it.

[07:44] YokoZar, hi [07:45] YokoZar, i think it is useful to request the removal of the old wine binaries [07:45] meaning the amd64 binaries of 1.3.28-0ubuntu1 in precise [07:45] ricotz: Yes, after I upload the wine1.4 package marking them as dummy packages [07:46] (to my ppa that is, to confirm working) [07:46] YokoZar, ok :) [07:46] btw 1.3.37 works fine here with multiarch on amd64 [07:47] ricotz: yeah but that's not the win 64-bit compatible package I've done with 1.4 :D [07:47] (requires some careful surgery to get both 32/64 bit compatibility with the same wineserver) [07:47] oh, nice, so there will be amd64 binary again then [07:48] right [07:48] although, your prefix (~/.wine) will still be 32 bit only unless you make a new one [07:48] but the multiarch way using 32bit wine on amd64 is still the right choice then` [07:48] Yup [07:49] ok [07:49] Well, sorta [07:49] the 32 bit package has to be split [07:49] You'll see [07:49] ok, thanks :) [07:49] on amd64 you install wine1.4 and then it pulls everything you need. You could also install wine1.4:i386 and avoid 64-bit compatibility if you really wanted. [07:51] i see, hoping for some love for lucid too ;) [07:52] ricotz: Yeah I'm not sure what to do there other than PPA uploads as every Ubuntu before Oneiric will have sound issues due to broken alsa-plugins [07:52] (not that they didn't have sound issues anyway) [07:52] yeah, i am fine with the ppa updates, sound isnt important in my case here [07:56] oh speaking of alsa -- diwic, hi, i hope alsa 1.0.25 will find its way into precise [07:59] @pilot in === udevbot changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Archive: soft freeze for Alpha 2 | Development of Ubuntu (not support, not app development) | build failures -> http://bit.ly/or6CHJ | #ubuntu for support and general discussion for hardy -> oneiric | #ubuntu-app-devel for app development on Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | See #ubuntu-bugs for http://bit.ly/lv8soi | Patch Pilots: cyphermox, didrocks [07:59] ricotz, we haven't had a discussion about that, but so far I don't see any significant improvement compared to 1.0.24.

[17:01] barry: I wouldn't mind looking at -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true output from your system where ia32-libs is held back [17:02] (well, actually, I'd hate it, but I'm prepared to ;-) ) [17:02] cjwatson: ;) sure i can generate that [17:02] smoser, was that at UDS? the lightdm issue is fixed [17:02] this was this week. [17:03] but i'm fairly sure it was a result of uninstalled packages that got removed somehow in an upgrade. [17:04] cjwatson: well, that doesn't actually output much of anything. are you sure you don't want -o Debug::pkgPackageManager=true ? [17:04] ok [17:05] cjwatson, what are the symptoms when one tries to update a 64bit ia32libs infected system O -> P [17:05] barry: for good measure, let's have 'apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true -o Debug::pkgPackageManager=true -o Debug::pkgOrderList=true dist-upgrade' [17:06] and then lightdm was failing. but i seem to have not even included the trace or the segfault. [17:06] cjwatson: cool. should i attach it to that bug or open a new bug? [17:06] apw: it calculates the upgrade successfully, then when you say yes go ahead, it says "Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle." [17:06] barry: maybe just a pastebin for now? [17:07] cjwatson: k [17:07] cjwatson, ok so i can hit return and find out ... [17:07] apw: I'm not ruling out the possibility that there are multiple bugs involved :-) [17:07] seb128: soft freeze for alpha2? :) [17:07] and it's possible the exact symptoms even of this one vary [17:07] slangasek, yes? [17:07] cjwatson, i suspect my main devel box here is about to hit the issue, so do you want to keep that machine as a tester for the fix, or should i go ahead and update it [17:08] (i literally have the 'go' button on my screen when i heard about this issue) [17:08] seb128: eog, gedit uploads hit the CDs, and don't seem to be milestone-critical? [17:08] slangasek, I though bug fixes updates to component which were not creating installability issues were ok? [17:08] apw: are you using update-manager / do-release-upgrade to do it? [17:09] seb128: ah, if that's the current agreement, I was unaware of it [17:09] slangasek, no, that was my understanding of alpha soft freeze from years ago, I'm sorry if that's off or if that changed [17:10] cjwatson, yeah 'update-manager -d' and sitting with the dialog ready to go [17:10] seb128: heh, that's not what the standard was when I was RM :) [17:11] apw: then just go ahead - it saves a state tarball in advance which gets attached to apport bugs and can be used to recreate a chroot with all the matching packages [17:11] apw: I already have one of those from RAOF [17:12] so working on upgrade bugs goes "grab apt-clone state from bug, restore into chroot, set that up as an schroot with overlayfs, then repeatedly upgrade / throw away overlayfs until you get it working" [17:12] it's almost enjoyable [17:12] cjwatson, you have an interesting defination of enjoyable :) [17:12] I did say almost [17:13] barry, dpm: the natty seems to be finished - not sure though if it was published yet though [17:15] err, natty build [17:16] @pilot out === udevbot changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Archive: soft freeze for Alpha 2 | Development of Ubuntu (not support, not app development) | build failures -> http://bit.ly/or6CHJ | #ubuntu for support and general discussion for hardy -> oneiric | #ubuntu-app-devel for app development on Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | See #ubuntu-bugs for http://bit.ly/lv8soi | Patch Pilots: [17:16] * dholbach hugs kenvandine [17:16] * kenvandine hugs dholbach [17:16] :) [17:20] free hugs! [17:21] * dholbach hugs highvoltage too [17:21] :) [17:21] * ogra_ hugs highvoltage, dholbach and kenvandine [17:21] hey ogra_ :) [17:21] :) [17:21] ;-D [17:21] * dholbach hugs ogra_ [17:21] alright - time to call it a day - see you tomorrow [17:22] have a good evening dholbach [17:55] cjwatson, ok mine went ahead and did the update even though i had ia32libs installed, interesting [17:55] apw: OK, maybe I'm overstating the scope of the problem then [17:55] Better than understating it I guess [17:55] cjwatson, yep, much better indeed [17:56] and mine may crater sometime in the next 3 hours that it claims are needed fo rthe update [17:56] oh, it hasn't downloaded the packages yet? [17:56] yep, past that and installing them now [17:56] ok, I think the failure is immediately after download [17:57] cjwatson, ok so i got past it somehow ... [17:58] it is indeed removing and replaceing a bunch of :i386 packages as wel speak [17:58] oh, you already had :i386 packages installed before the upgrade? [17:58] cjwatson, yeah, though i have no idea why, i have the ia32-lib and ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 installed [17:59] then it doesn't affect you - this is only for systems that didn't previously have anything :i386 installed [17:59] ahh sorry :) then i am a false false alarm [17:59] the problem is in computing the unpack ordering for libc6:i386 / libgcc1:i386 when they weren't already installed [17:59] cjwatson, so can't we just install one at random in O before the update [18:00] to trigger those to install from O [18:00] cjwatson: ia32-libs couldn't be installed in oneiric without :i386 [18:00] rather than fixing apt :) [18:00] it was just a less complete conversion [18:00] could do I suppose, but the apt fix is known [18:00] slangasek: huh, then I've misdiagnosed something [18:01] slangasek: are you *sure*? It only Recommends: ia32-libs-multiarch [18:02] slangasek: and RAOF's apt-clone file has ia32-libs installed without AFAICS any :i386 packages [18:02] cjwatson: oh, really? hrm, wonder why it was only a recommends [18:03] I would think it's only a recommends so people can selectively install the multiarch libs [18:03] that does change the tone of the release note, though, so I'll amend it [18:03] micahg: there's nothing selective about ia32-libs [18:03] slangasek: right, but with multiarch there could be [18:03] nor about ia32-libs-multiarch [18:03] no, because with multiarch ia32-libs is there solely for compatibility [18:03] i.e. just install the libs you need from i386 [18:04] but the point of ia32-libs is to supply everything it used to supply === koolhead17 is now known as koolhead17|zzZZ [18:04] because there are packages that depend on it and expect that [18:04] * slangasek nods [18:04] so I think that was simply a bug in the oneiric package [18:07] I've toned down the release note to say that this only happens sometimes and to give an example of the error message you get if you encounter this [18:07] I'm not sure there's much value in explaining the exact circumstances since it's already pretty wordy [18:08] apw: so yes, it's true that that's a viable fallback for *this* apt bug - but I wonder about the next one [18:08] apw: this is already the third apt bug that I've considered SRUing into oneiric [18:09] well, bug fix :) [18:09] :) [18:10] and that's just in a week of looking at upgrade bugs on and off [19:58] stgraber: I've updated bug 924836 and can get the upstart log if you like [19:58] Launchpad bug 924836 in ifupdown (Ubuntu Precise) "network-manager does not tell plymouth it has started" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/924836 [20:03] bdmurray: yeah, I see nothing wrong in what you posted so upstart logging would probably help find the cause of the failure [20:03] stgraber: hmm, I think I only saw the message on first boot [20:05] bdmurray: did you briefly see it or did you see the whole sequence of "waiting for network", "waiting up to 60 more seconds", "booting system without full network"? [20:05] stgraber: the whole sequence [20:07] bdmurray: Riddell also said first boot in the bug report, so might be something that fixes itself ... [20:07] bdmurray: now that I'm waiting for some rebuilds, I'll try a clean Ubuntu desktop install in a VM [20:08] (and boot directly with --log on the first boot) [20:27] bdmurray: reproduced (with --log). Will look into what's wrong once it times out === salem_ is now known as _salem [21:04] mdeslaur: do you happen to know off hand why lightdm would not be displaying 'Other user' on 12.04, or if there is a way to login as someone under uid 1000? [21:04] mdeslaur: I found user.conf for lightdm, but it said that accountsservice would override anything in that file [21:05] mdeslaur: if not, I'll keep poking [21:06] jdstrand: accountsservice has a minimum UID, and won't make lightdm aware of any user under that [21:06] jdstrand: what are you trying to do? [21:07] mdeslaur: for quite some time on machines that I administer I create my user as 999 so that it doesn't show up in the list. I can't seem to be able to login via lightdm as that user in 12.04 [21:07] jdstrand: nope, that won't work === doko_ is now known as doko [21:08] mdeslaur: do happen to know why there was this change? why won't lightdm allow me to login as someone not in the list like it used to? [21:09] mdeslaur: well, that is enough for me to file a bug I guess. thanks [21:11] jdstrand: you _could_ change login.defs to lower it to 999 [21:11] sure, but then I show up in the list [21:12] people complain to me that it is their computer, why should I be in the list at all let alone before them (since I am alphabetically before most of them) [21:13] anyhoo, I know it isn't your problem, so I'll move along [21:13] jdstrand: oh, I see :) [21:19] jdstrand: you could try "hide-users=true" in lightdm.conf [21:22] jdstrand: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-greeter-team/unity-greeter/trunk/revision/236 [21:22] what do you try to do? [21:22] hmm [21:23] seb128: removing the 'Other' option in lightdm is causing me mild grief now, and a lot down the line [21:23] seb128: I administer a not small number of machines for various people [21:23] seb128: I don't own the machines [21:23] how did you solve that issue before? [21:24] seb128: so when we started displaying usernames rather than having people type them in the greeter, my name showed up [21:24] oh, what mdeslaur said? use hide-users=true to go back to an entry rather than a list [21:24] seb128: and they are like "Why are you in the list when you login?" or "Why are you before me in the list-- this is *my* computer" [21:25]
