| MacSlow | pitti, can you resubmit your wnck_shutdown-branch for notify-osd to be merged-proposed for lp:notify-osd/precise?! | 11:51 |
| MacSlow | pitti, that would make more sense because of the libwnck3-requirement, which is only met by precise | 11:52 |
| MacSlow | thanks in advance | 11:52 |
| === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach | ||
| pitti | MacSlow: why wouldn't it also go to trunk? | 12:19 |
| pitti | MacSlow: it's not a requirement, it's a conditional feature | 12:19 |
| pitti | MacSlow: it shoudl certainly also go to precise, but usually via trunk and a new release? | 12:20 |
| pitti | MacSlow: also, the precise package already has that patch | 12:20 |
| seb128 | pitti, not sure but notify-osd has a weird series handling, tarballs have been rolled from ubuntu series and not trunk for quite some time | 12:26 |
| seb128 | like it was the same in oneiric | 12:26 |
| seb128 | seems trunk is not used | 12:26 |
| pitti | ok, re-doing the branch and MP | 12:29 |
| pitti | MacSlow: ok, done: https://code.launchpad.net/~pitti/notify-osd/wnck_shutdown-precise/+merge/91255 | 12:30 |
| pitti | MacSlow: NB that nobody is not subscribed to that project; DX was subscribed to lp:notify-osd | 12:31 |
| pitti | argh, ignore this, it's broken | 12:31 |
| pitti | bzr lp-propose picked the wrong target | 12:32 |
| pitti | MacSlow: https://code.launchpad.net/~pitti/notify-osd/wnck_shutdown-precise/+merge/91257 it is | 12:33 |
| pitti | hmm | 12:33 |
| pitti | I did specify lp:notify-osd/precise, but now the MP is again against lp:notify-osd | 12:34 |
| pitti | WTH? | 12:34 |
| seb128 | pitti, just edit the target on lp | 12:34 |

| pitti | it keeps setting it to lp:notify-osd | 12:34 |
| pitti | I suppose the two are aliases | 12:34 |
| pitti | and lp:notify-osd/precise _is_ the new trunk | 12:35 |
| * MacSlow scratches head | 12:35 | |
| pitti | MacSlow: so, it should be good | 12:35 |
| pitti | MacSlow: my original MP merges just fine, too | 12:35 |
| MacSlow | sure... locally it works fine with both | 12:35 |
| pitti | MacSlow: oh, I understand | 12:35 |
| pitti | MacSlow: the old MP shows /oneiric now | 12:35 |
| pitti | it seems you switched trunk from /oneiric to /precise since I created the original MP | 12:35 |
| MacSlow | pitti, all good nos | 12:35 |

| seb128 | jdstrand, not a lot of content there ;-) seems the update are technically ready I was wondering if somebody blocks updates | 14:22 |
| seb128 | uploads | 14:22 |
| jdstrand | seb128: I don't know the timeframe other than I know micahg is testing them and istr him saying something about next week | 14:22 |
| jdstrand | seb128: actually, he might have said this week. micahg, what is your time frame for ff 10? :) | 14:23 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, ok, some users are making us some bad press because we are slow to update, over a week in a 6 weeks cycle seems a lot ;-) | 14:23 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, I was trying to figure what to response | 14:23 |
| jdstrand | seb128: we block on them to test each release on i386 and amd64 | 14:24 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, thanks | 14:24 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, well 10 is frozen and in the ppa for weeks, we should have got testing by now? official version is there since sunday it seems ... do we need extra testers? i.e should we do a call for help somewhere? | 14:24 |
| jdstrand | I know he has been actively working on that this week. I don't know when he will pull the trigger. if not today, then early next week (we avoid friday releases except in emergencies) | 14:25 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, ok thanks | 14:25 |
| jdstrand | seb128: I doubt the older releases have gotten a lot of testing outside of chrisccoulson and micahg | 14:25 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, it's maybe something we should look at fixing ;-) | 14:25 |
| seb128 | getting testing earlier | 14:26 |
| jdstrand | seb128: the call for help was for 9. 9 to 10 shouldn't be a big deal | 14:26 |
| seb128 | ok | 14:26 |
| jdstrand | seb128: yes. the lonstanding goal is for micahg to have these tested and ready by release day. then we wait 24 hours for upstream to find things, then we release if no show stoppers | 14:27 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, sound great, I'm looking forward getting there ;-) | 14:27 |
| jdstrand | seb128: that got pushed back a bit with all the firefox 9 transition in lucid and maverick. now that everything is on one release, it should be easier for micahg to achieve that | 14:27 |
| seb128 | jdstrand, excellent, thanks a lot of the details! | 14:27 |

| cyphermox | cking: I'm curious about your blog post about the 3G dongle | 14:29 |
| cyphermox | cking: 12d1:1446 already has a definition in usb-modeswitch-data at least in precise, so that definition would be wrong if your device didn't switch on connect? | 14:29 |
| cking | cyphermox, well, I bodged it because it wasn't working - I need to figure out why it wasn't working by default, it may be an upgrade issue | 14:30 |
| cyphermox | cking: sounds to me like maybe the definition file isn't right for some devices despite having the same usb ID | 14:30 |
| cyphermox | (e.g. there are some firmware impacts on how they respond to the switch message) | 14:30 |
| cking | cyphermox, I did see the following: | 14:31 |
| cking | usb_modeswitch_[326]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f7ca17f0541 sp 00007fffce9ff578 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7f7ca176a000+197000] | 14:31 |
| cyphermox | ok | 14:31 |
| cyphermox | then that is probably entirely my fault, and I'll need to fix this | 14:31 |
| cking | hence I forced it with my own config file. do you need any more info to help resolve this bug? | 14:32 |
| cyphermox | I don't think so | 14:32 |
| cking | cyphermox, i was just pleased to get some form of connectivity via 3G yesterday - if you want me to test any fixes I'm happy to try them out | 14:34 |
| cyphermox | cking: sure | 14:37 |

| dendrobates | mvo: hey I'm having a precise upgrade issue: The package 'unity-scope-calculator' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist | 15:26 |
| dendrobates | mvo: can you offer any pointers? | 15:26 |
| stgraber | hmm, it should indeed be removed (doesn't work with new Unity API and as it's a post-release extra app, it doesn't exist in Precise), these shouldn't get removal blacklisted | 15:28 |
| cjwatson | it's because unity is there and the regex search isn't anchored | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | or rather is only anchored at the start | 15:31 |
| DoctorPepper | is anyone of the ubuntu kde team in here ? | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | dendrobates: fixed for next update-manager upload, thanks | 15:32 |
| dendrobates | cjwatson: np, thanks | 15:32 |
| mvo | dendrobates: woah, cjwatson was quicker | 15:33 |
| mvo | thanks cjwatson - I guess the regexp was too broad | 15:33 |

| cjwatson | +unity$ | 15:33 |
| Riddell | DoctorPepper: yes | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | considered doing the same for unity-2d but it doesn't seem to have a similar breadth of addons | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | I mean not in that namespace | 15:33 |
| soren | cjwatson: So this change was in update-manager? | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | soren: yes | 15:34 |
| soren | cjwatson: And now you've uploaded the change? | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | soren: no | 15:34 |
| soren | How does it land in the upgrade tool? | 15:34 |
| soren | Oh, ok. | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | it'll be there from the next upload | 15:34 |
| soren | Is the generation of the upgrade tool part of the update-manager build process? | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | yes | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | it gets stuffed into LP as a custom upload | 15:34 |
| soren | Ah :) | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | basically a tarball of the DistUpgrade/ directory | 15:35 |
| DoctorPepper | ridell: i need some help i am running kde 4.8 on 10.10 from ppa and i am having some wierd issue with python based plasmoid not working | 15:35 |
| soren | Ok. Is there a temporary workaround we can do locally? | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | not sure | 15:36 |
| soren | Yeah, it seems we'd have to be really quick. | 15:36 |
| Riddell | DoctorPepper: this is not a support channel I'm afraid | 15:36 |
| soren | Perhaps ctrl-z the update-manager process right after it downloads and unpacks it. | 15:36 |
| DoctorPepper | it seens that nobody is able to help me on the kubuntu | 15:36 |
| soren | ..fix the regex, and start it again. | 15:36 |
| * soren tries that | 15:36 | |
| cjwatson | I was going to upload update-manager after the freeze ends today if mvo doesn't mind | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | having to work around the main.log thing I fixed is annoying :) | 15:37 |
| DoctorPepper | Riddell: it seems to me that i am hitting a bug | 15:37 |
| Riddell | DoctorPepper: your options are the kde and plasma developer channel and the kubuntu channels. but python on plasma is not a much used solution so you can't expect a quick answer on irc | 15:37 |
| mvo | soren: you could simply run "bzr branch lp:update-manager; cd update-manager/DistUpgrade; sudo ./dist-upgrade.py" | 15:37 |
| mvo | cjwatson: I don't mind at all, but I'm happy to do it too, there is one branch from jibel waiting for review that I would like to get done at some point, but its not urgent, both is fine | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | oh that's a handy trick | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | mvo: ok, cool, if you're going to anyway that's obviously fine by me ;-) | 15:38 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 898373 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/xvda2" [High,Confirmed] | 17:05 |
| seb128 | micahg, hey, great, thanks | 17:06 |
| slangasek | smoser: oh; well, that bug needs to be fixed then surely? | 17:09 |
| smoser | slangasek, :) surely it does | 17:09 |
| smoser | its rare | 17:09 |
| smoser | but... | 17:09 |
| smoser | so there is definitely a bug there (the 'busy') | 17:09 |
| slangasek | well, there are no shortcuts, if that's what you're asking. :) We're not going to change mountall to stop doing what it's doing | 17:09 |
| smoser | but in EC2, there is no local console. | 17:09 |
| smoser | so prompting the user for fsck (and haning the system indefinitely?) is just pointless. | 17:10 |
| smoser | is there a way that i can configure it to say "if osmething other than / needs fsck, come up anyway" | 17:11 |
| slangasek | no | 17:12 |
| slangasek | you can mark the disk "noauto" or "nobootwait" in /etc/fstab, that's it | 17:12 |
| slangasek | otherwise, the filesystem is marked as a required part of the boot, and if the fsck fails it's not ready to be mounted | 17:13 |
| smoser | hm.. | 17:14 |
| slangasek | I don't have a good way to deal with the prompt itself, since we need plymouth to capture boot-time output and if plymouth is present mountall thinks it's ok to prompt | 17:14 |
| smoser | well i dont like the nobootwait solution, as unless its dirty, i do want to wait. | 17:14 |
| slangasek | but even if we solved the prompt, mountall's fallback policy is to launch a root shell and let you fix it, which is also the correct policy but doesn't help you either | 17:15 |
| smoser | how hard, i wonder, would it be for it to launch ssh daemon ? | 17:16 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| smoser | what would be nice is: | 17:16 |
| smoser | "Uhoh, you're hosed. I've started an ssh daemon at IP:22. ssh here as root and you'll be dumped into a screen session where you can handle it" | 17:17 |
| slangasek | smoser: sure, either fixing /etc/init/mountall-shell.conf to support this, or diverting it in a cloud-specific job, seems reasonable there | 17:20 |
| smoser | slangasek, ok. | 17:22 |
| smoser | so the bug there still remains thoguh. | 17:22 |
| smoser | the device busy | 17:22 |
| smoser | i'll leave that bug open, and would greatly appreciate foundations help on it (and i can facilitate) | 17:22 |

| SpamapS | It was a cool idea. :) | 17:38 |
| smoser | what were you wanting to do ? | 17:38 |
| smoser | its better done now. | 17:38 |
| SpamapS | smoser: I ended up just converting the cloud image to raw, mounting it, and chrooting in to change the password and purge cloud-init | 17:38 |
| smoser | but you have to use a cdrom | 17:38 |
| smoser | but you can essentially boot the image in kvm with whatever user-data you'd like. (and your data would just do that) | 17:39 |
| smoser | you dont have to purge cloud-init (although you can) | 17:39 |
| SpamapS | smoser: perhaps we should update this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Images | 17:41 |

| SpamapS | smoser: I just wanted to use it to get a quick KVM vm up | 17:43 |
| smoser | if you copied and pasted those lines it would have worked. | 17:43 |
| SpamapS | what would have worked? It would have somehow grabbed my ssh key and put it in the user-data ? | 17:43 |
| smoser | but feel free to update however you'd like to make it more clear. | 17:43 |
| SpamapS | Oh you're saying the passw0rd is embedded? | 17:43 |
| smoser | Then, log in with 'ubuntu' and password 'passw0rd'. | 17:44 |
| SpamapS | my laziness won the day then.. ;) | 17:44 |
| smoser | the file 'user-data' that is referred to by 'make-iso' changes the password | 17:44 |
| smoser | fwiw, in doing some other work, i was wanitng ot have a script that does all this for you | 17:45 |

| smoser | or even just write "DO NOT USE UNCLOUD-INIT" | 17:48 |
| SpamapS | smoser: it sounded like such a simpler option ;) | 17:51 |
| smoser | i agree. | 17:52 |
| smoser | except for it can't be automated. | 17:53 |
| smoser | so i dont see a lot of value in maintaining it. | 17:53 |
| cnd | what's the real benefit of using bzr merge-update with a packaging branch that includes the upstream sources? | 18:11 |
| cnd | vs just having a packaging branch with the debian directory? | 18:11 |
| jtaylor | its much easier to mess with the orig source | 18:13 |
| === Lyte1O1 is now known as Lyte101 | ||
| cnd | jtaylor, what do you mean by that? | 18:17 |
| slangasek | cnd: using it as a real DVCS, where you have access to the full upstream source directly and can diff directly against the upstream? | 18:18 |
| cnd | slangasek, yes, in theory that sounds nice | 18:19 |
| cnd | but it makes bootstrapping the packaging branch more difficult | 18:19 |
| slangasek | does it? | 18:19 |
| cnd | it makes updating cumbersome (bzr mu with 8 options) | 18:19 |
| cnd | and I have yet to feel like it has helped in reality | 18:19 |
| cnd | the packaging branch bootstrapping involves tagging it in special ways, IIRC | 18:20 |
| cnd | it's been a while since I've done it, but we are making a new package right now | 18:20 |
| slangasek | cnd: http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/bzr-git_case_study/ | 18:20 |
| slangasek | cnd: for me, one of the benefits is never having to root around looking for the right upstream tarball on the mirror | 18:22 |
| cnd | slangasek, isn't that what uscan is for? | 18:22 |
| slangasek | no | 18:22 |
| * cnd is confused... | 18:23 | |
| slangasek | I'm talking about the orig.tar.gz for a version that's already in the archive | 18:23 |
| cnd | oh | 18:23 |
| cnd | uscan --download-current-version? | 18:23 |
| slangasek | which isn't always a bit-for-bit match for what upstream distributes | 18:23 |
| slangasek | again, no :) | 18:23 |
| cnd | well yeah, hopefully they're the same | 18:23 |
| slangasek | and sometimes it isn't, and it's good to have a workflow that's built on something more tangible than hope :) | 18:24 |
| cnd | heh | 18:25 |
| cnd | slangasek, is that the only place where it helps though? | 18:25 |
| cnd | if you need to add a patch to the sources | 18:25 |
| slangasek | I am astonished that you think this is a negligible case :) | 18:26 |
| cnd | I probably don't have as much experience in this area since I mostly package our own development work | 18:26 |
| cnd | we make new releases if there are bugs | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | I find it extremely beneficial to be able to bzr log/blame/etc. all in a single tree | 18:26 |
| cnd | so there usually isn't patches | 18:26 |
| === cmagina_ is now known as cmagina-lunch | ||
| cnd | ok | 18:27 |
| cnd | mostly I wanted to double check that it was important for some people to have a packaging branch maintained this way | 18:27 |
| cnd | since it is a bit harder for us to get started with | 18:27 |
| cnd | but if it helps, then we'll continue to do it that way | 18:28 |
| * cjwatson bangs head against lucid->precise dpkg/lzma upgrade tangles, and considers the pub instead | 18:28 | |
| slangasek | cnd: well, the only time I think it's worth the effort of doing by hand is if you're branching from an upstream VCS as described at the link I pasted | 18:28 |
| slangasek | otherwise, you might as well just use the UDD branches, and let the importer do it for you | 18:29 |
| cnd | ok | 18:29 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: there you go | 18:37 |

| jsmith-argotec | I am looking to make/submit a patch for a bug in bind9 - but that's about where my knowledge ends... anyone that might lend me some assistance? | 20:39 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| coalwater | jsmith-argotec: u mean in launchpad? | 20:48 |
| jsmith-argotec | coalwater: umm idk, not sure exactly how to create a patch properly - tried once before but it was ugly... | 20:51 |
| jsmith-argotec | coalwater: and someone I spoke to about it recommended coming here or motu and getting help/sponsor | 20:51 |
| === micahg changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Alpha 2 released! Archive: open | 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: | ||
| jsmith-argotec | coalwater: that package was part of universe therefore motu (haven't gotten to that yet) | 20:52 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: do you like bzr? | 20:53 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: not real familiar with it yet, seems ok | 20:53 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: well, I can point you to documentation on how to make a patch with bzr or without | 20:54 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: ahh well I am not partial to either way since it's fairly new territory for me so point to the better option | 20:55 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: I'm not sure if it should be submitted upstream too or if that makes a difference in which way it's made | 20:56 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug.html | 20:56 |
| micahg | nah, both ways you should end with with a patch against the upstream code | 20:58 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: that looks easy enough. One more question - is it poor etiquette to submit a pactch that is just applying a fix someone posted in the bug report? | 20:58 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: from what I've read around it sounded like submitting a patch would help get it merged at all/quicker | 20:58 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: a debdiff, not at all, just give attribution where appropriate | 20:58 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: perfect! | 21:00 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: a couple more questions... is it only usefull if submitted against the latest distribution or ok if it's still a bug in the latest | 21:01 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: I'm only running Lucid not latest... | 21:02 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: umm, well, bugs need to be fixed in the dev release before they can be SRUd (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) | 21:02 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: I'm not as concerned (though nice) if it's SRUd more so that it is fixed for the next LTS | 21:03 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: ah, ok, then just for precise is fine | 21:03 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: lastly - I've verified the bug exists in squeeze also. Should I submit a patch there too/instead? | 21:06 |
| micahg | jsmith-argotec: well, squeeze is the stable release, it would probably have to go through unstable, you can use the submittodebian tool from ubuntu-dev-tools to send the bug to Debian once you have the Ubuntu package | 21:07 |
| micahg | you can mention there if you're willing to make a patch for squeeze if it'll be accepted | 21:08 |
| jsmith-argotec | micahg: ok once I get through the Ubuntu process I'll look into that. Thanks for the help! | 21:09 |
| micahg | thank you for contributing to Ubuntu | 21:09 |
| slangasek | smoser: so what else is in the image that could account for /dev/xvda2 being busy? Could you grab dmesg output from such a failed boot? | 21:14 |
| smoser | slangasek, i could, yeeah, but you think there would be something there that is not on that console ? | 21:15 |
| smoser | thats all the kernel messages. | 21:15 |
| slangasek | well, there could be | 21:15 |
| smoser | i can have somethign that runs dmesg on boot to a file, and then start a reboot loop later. | 21:15 |
| slangasek | I really have no idea what else might be holding that device open | 21:15 |
| slangasek | besides a kernel issue | 21:15 |
| 36DAARLF3 | coalwater, yes chrome only | 21:39 |
| coalwater | well i asked because it seemed similar to a bug about nvidia video driver thing, but it does that with all windows, and it sometimes gets fixed after resizing the window | 21:47 |
| coalwater | 36DAARLF3: ^ | 21:47 |
| 36DAARLF3 | coalwater, any more info on that bug? | 21:48 |
| coalwater | i dont know, i could search for it, but it wasn't on my computer so i didn't look into it that much, let me check | 21:50 |
| 36DAARLF3 | thx | 21:50 |

| slangasek | hallyn: qemu-linaro 2012.01 ftbfs on 32-bit archs due to a problem in hw/qxl.c, which seems to be spice-specific... but neither the failing code nor the spice package has changed since the last upload. Any ideas? | 23:32 |
