MacSlowpitti, can you resubmit your wnck_shutdown-branch for notify-osd to be merged-proposed for lp:notify-osd/precise?!11:51
MacSlowpitti, that would make more sense because of the libwnck3-requirement, which is only met by precise11:52
MacSlowthanks in advance11:52
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
pittiMacSlow: why wouldn't it also go to trunk?12:19
pittiMacSlow: it's not a requirement, it's a conditional feature12:19
pittiMacSlow: it shoudl certainly also go to precise, but usually via trunk and a new release?12:20
pittiMacSlow: also, the precise package already has that patch12:20
seb128pitti, not sure but notify-osd has a weird series handling, tarballs have been rolled from ubuntu series and not trunk for quite some time12:26

jdstrandseb128: I don't know the timeframe other than I know micahg is testing them and istr him saying something about next week14:22
jdstrandseb128: actually, he might have said this week. micahg, what is your time frame for ff 10? :)14:23
seb128jdstrand, 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

jdstrandseb128: we block on them to test each release on i386 and amd6414:24
seb128jdstrand, thanks14:24
seb128jdstrand, 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
jdstrandI 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
seb128jdstrand, ok thanks14:25
jdstrandseb128: I doubt the older releases have gotten a lot of testing outside of chrisccoulson and micahg14:25

jdstrandseb128: the call for help was for 9. 9 to 10 shouldn't be a big deal14:26
seb128ok14:26
jdstrandseb128: 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 stoppers14:27
seb128jdstrand, sound great, I'm looking forward getting there ;-)14:27
jdstrandseb128: 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 that14:27

cyphermoxcking: I'm curious about your blog post about the 3G dongle14:29
cyphermoxcking: 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
ckingcyphermox, 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 issue14:30
cyphermoxcking: sounds to me like maybe the definition file isn't right for some devices despite having the same usb ID14:30
cyphermox(e.g. there are some firmware impacts on how they respond to the switch message)14:30
ckingcyphermox, I did see the following:14:31

cyphermoxthen that is probably entirely my fault, and I'll need to fix this14:31
ckinghence I forced it with my own config file. do you need any more info to help resolve this bug?14:32

dendrobatesmvo: can you offer any pointers?15:26
stgraberhmm, 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 blacklisted15:28
cjwatsonit's because unity is there and the regex search isn't anchored15:31

DoctorPepperRiddell: it seems to me  that i am hitting a bug15:37
RiddellDoctorPepper: 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 irc15:37

slangaseksmoser: oh; well, that bug needs to be fixed then surely?17:09
smoserslangasek, :) surely it does17:09
smoserits rare17:09
smoserbut...17:09
smoserso there is definitely a bug there (the 'busy')17:09
slangasekwell, there are no shortcuts, if that's what you're asking. :)  We're not going to change mountall to stop doing what it's doing17:09
smoserbut in EC2, there is no local console.17:09
smoserso prompting the user for fsck (and haning the system indefinitely?) is just pointless.17:10
smoseris there a way that i can configure it to say "if osmething other than / needs fsck, come up anyway"17:11
slangasekno17:12
slangasekyou can mark the disk "noauto" or "nobootwait" in /etc/fstab, that's it17:12
slangasekotherwise, the filesystem is marked as a required part of the boot, and if the fsck fails it's not ready to be mounted17:13
smoserhm..17:14
slangasekI 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 prompt17:14
smoserwell i dont like the nobootwait solution, as unless its dirty, i do want to wait.17:14
slangasekbut 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 either17:15
smoserhow hard, i wonder, would it be for it to launch ssh daemon ?17:16
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk

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
slangaseksmoser: sure, either fixing /etc/init/mountall-shell.conf to support this, or diverting it in a cloud-specific job, seems reasonable there17:20

smoserbut you have to use a cdrom17:38
smoserbut you can essentially boot the image in kvm with whatever user-data you'd like. (and your data would just do that)17:39

smoserif you copied and pasted those lines it would have worked.17:43

cndwhat's the real benefit of using bzr merge-update with a packaging branch that includes the upstream sources?18:11

=== Lyte1O1 is now known as Lyte101
cndjtaylor, what do you mean by that?18:17
slangasekcnd: 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
cndslangasek, yes, in theory that sounds nice18:19
cndbut it makes bootstrapping the packaging branch more difficult18:19
slangasekdoes it?18:19
cndit makes updating cumbersome (bzr mu with 8 options)18:19
cndand I have yet to feel like it has helped in reality18:19
cndthe packaging branch bootstrapping involves tagging it in special ways, IIRC18:20
cndit's been a while since I've done it, but we are making a new package right now18:20
slangasekcnd: http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/bzr-git_case_study/18:20

cndslangasek, is that the only place where it helps though?18:25
cndif you need to add a patch to the sources18:25

* cjwatson bangs head against lucid->precise dpkg/lzma upgrade tangles, and considers the pub instead18:28

jsmith-argotecI 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
coalwaterjsmith-argotec: u mean in launchpad?20:48
jsmith-argoteccoalwater: umm idk, not sure exactly how to create a patch properly - tried once before but it was ugly...20:51
jsmith-argoteccoalwater: and someone I spoke to about it recommended coming here or motu and getting help/sponsor20:51

jsmith-argoteccoalwater: that package was part of universe therefore motu (haven't gotten to that yet)20:52
micahgjsmith-argotec: do you like bzr?20:53
jsmith-argotecmicahg: not real familiar with it yet, seems ok20:53
micahgjsmith-argotec: well, I can point you to documentation on how to make a patch with bzr or without20:54
jsmith-argotecmicahg: ahh well I am not partial to either way since it's fairly new territory for me so point to the better option20:55
jsmith-argotecmicahg: I'm not sure if it should be submitted upstream too or if that makes a difference in which way it's made20:56
micahgjsmith-argotec: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug.html20:56
micahgnah, both ways you should end with with a patch against the upstream code20:58
jsmith-argotecmicahg: 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-argotecmicahg: from what I've read around it sounded like submitting a patch would help get it merged at all/quicker20:58
micahgjsmith-argotec: a debdiff, not at all, just give attribution where appropriate20:58
jsmith-argotecmicahg: perfect!21:00
jsmith-argotecmicahg: a couple more questions... is it only usefull if submitted against the latest distribution or ok if it's still a bug in the latest21:01
jsmith-argotecmicahg: I'm only running Lucid not latest...21:02
micahgjsmith-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-argotecmicahg: I'm not as concerned (though nice) if it's SRUd more so that it is fixed for the next LTS21:03
micahgjsmith-argotec: ah, ok, then just for precise is fine21:03
jsmith-argotecmicahg: lastly - I've verified the bug exists in squeeze also. Should I submit a patch there too/instead?21:06
micahgjsmith-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 package21:07
micahgyou can mention there if you're willing to make a patch for squeeze if it'll be accepted21:08
jsmith-argotecmicahg: ok once I get through the Ubuntu process I'll look into that. Thanks for the help!21:09
micahgthank you for contributing to Ubuntu21:09
slangaseksmoser: 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
smoserslangasek, i could, yeeah, but you think there would be something there that is not on that console ?21:15
smoserthats all the kernel messages.21:15
slangasekwell, there could be21:15
smoseri can have somethign that runs dmesg on boot to a file, and then start a reboot loop later.21:15
slangasekI really have no idea what else might be holding that device open21:15
slangasekbesides a kernel issue21:15
36DAARLF3coalwater, yes chrome only21:39
coalwaterwell 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 window21:47
coalwater36DAARLF3: ^21:47
36DAARLF3coalwater, any more info on that bug?21:48
coalwateri 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 check21:50
36DAARLF3thx21:50
coalwater36DAARLF3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/752445 i think this is it21:51
ubottuUbuntu bug 752445 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Intermittent white window contents when maximizing/switching windows" [Undecided,Confirmed]21:51

SpamapSYokoZar: they're not allowed to approve NEW stuff during the freeze23:24
YokoZarSpamapS: Even universe stuff?23:24
SpamapSYokoZar: I believe universe gets a freeze as well, as there are things in universe that end up on some CDs (just not the main Ubuntu cds)23:25
SpamapSbut that sounds crazy when I read it back to myself23:25
SpamapSso disregard23:26
* SpamapS goes back to trying to get a kvm vm to pxe boot23:26
Laneyit is probably just for time reasons23:26
slangasekactually, it's generally fine to do new processing during a freeze23:26
slangasekbecause milestones are *also* supposed to have a consistent archive :)23:26
RAOFYou need a MIR to promote a new binary package from a source package in main, right?23:30
slangasekRAOF: nope23:30
RAOFExcellent.23:30
slangasekhallyn: 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

sorenslangasek: toolchain changes?23:42
hallynslangasek: no idea...  if it also fails in a sbuild i'll try to reproduce tonight/tomorrow23:49
sorenhallyn, slangasek: the spice package has been updated in the mean time, too. (On 2011-12-19, while the old qemu-linaro was bulit on 2011-12-15)23:52
sorenOh.23:53
sorenJust found this:23:53
soren/«PKGBUILDDIR»/hw/qxl.c:1021:16: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]23:53
sorenI get that if I build the older qemu with a fresh tool chain.23:54
soren...that's an error in the newer qemu.23:54
