SpamapSbut I feel that the experience has gotten less smooth, but probably more safe00:00
slangasekwell, all things considered, I'd rather we leave the needle there for this release00:00
SpamapSagreed00:01
bdmurrayI think its worth release noting though as my experience was more surprising00:01
slangasektrue00:02
bdmurrayI thought it used to boot degraded which didn't happen to me00:02
slangasekSpamapS: can you open a release notes task for this?00:02
slangasekoh, booting in degraded mode shouldn't have changed :/00:03
slangasekbdmurray: bug #?00:03
bdmurrayI was looking at bug 92528000:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 925280 in mdadm (Ubuntu) "Software RAID fails to rebuild after testing degraded cold boot" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/92528000:05
bdmurrayhmm, that doesn't say anything about getting a busy box shell though00:05
SpamapSbdmurray: the default is to not boot degraded.. and that has been the default since, IIRC, Jaunty00:09
SpamapSbdmurray: its a High priority question in the installer, so you should get a question and have the option to boot degraded00:09
SpamapSbdmurray: the error message explains that you need to zero the superblock00:11
SpamapSbdmurray: the code that introduced that change is new, coming with the latest mdadm (3.2.x) ..00:11
SpamapSbdmurray: its being extra careful because there is a superblock on that device that is not consistent with the array that is active.00:12
SpamapSAhh, I wish I had found this bug 6 hours ago. :)00:13

stgraberskaet: if we're going to allow for some rebuild, any chance someone can review the ldm in the queue? it's not critical but it'd be nice to have in Edubuntu if we rebuild00:30
skaetstgraber, if you can line up a reviewer - ok.   we'll fall back to the current image set as backups if there's any issues.00:32
skaetstgraber,  bug #?00:32
stgraberskaet: When using LTSP, it's possible unity 3D will start on a client that's not 3D capable, in such case, make sure to select "Ubuntu 2D" in the session list at login time. (820417)00:34
stgraberthat's what I put in the technical overview00:35
skaetthanks. stgraber,00:35
stgraberoh, right, sync requests don't have diffs on LP, let me build one quickly then...00:36
micahgstgraber: if it's from testing, you can request it ‎with +localpackagediffs00:36
stgrabermicahg: that's still in unstable at the moment (released upstream only a few days ago00:37
stgraberhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/862747/ is the debdiff for ldm. As mentioned earlier, the new background won't affect Ubuntu as we ship ours in ldm-ubuntu-theme (always installed with LTSP)00:38
stgraberldm-2.2.6/rc.d/X50-dmrc-processing is the bit I care about the most, mostly the change from the broken TryExec to Exec and the logic for parsing LDM_SESSION that actually works now (.dmrc reading/writting in LDM has been broken for years ...)00:40
pittidupondje: set to "in progress", thanks04:49
pittiGood morning04:49
micahgpitti: I discovered if we demote the packagekit andpackagekit-backend-aptcc binaries, we can demote gdebi, is this desirable?05:00
pittimicahg: we don't actually want -aptcc indeed; the apt backend works slightly better, but I don't know if that also needs gdebi05:00
micahgpitti: the aptcc backend depends on gdebi-core05:01
micahgthe apt one doesn't seem to05:01
pittihm, I'm not even sure why it is in main05:02
pittithere only seem to be alternative dependencies to it05:02
pittiwe need the source in main for the library, though05:03
micahgright05:03
pittimicahg: let me try to demote these two binaries and see what happens in c-m05:03
micahgsounds good05:03
micahgpitti: I forgot about packagekit-dbg, needs to be demoted as well05:41

pittimicahg: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt06:48
pittimicahg: hm, "rescued from packagekit", sounds like extra-include; I'll try sorting this out in the seeds06:48
micahgpitti: ah, right, *-dbg :)06:48
pittimicahg: ok, seeds committed, let's wait for the next round06:49
micahgpitti: thanks06:51
micahgpitti: the reverse recommends has the alternate on python-aptdaemon.pkcompat07:13
pittimicahg: ah, I think we need to swap that07:17
micahgwhy should it matter, it's a recommends?07:18
pitticomponent-mismatches checks these as well, as we install them by default07:24
micahgright, but if the first alternative is in universe (i.e. not available), why wouldn't it just install the alternative?07:27
micahgit violates policy for depends, but AFAIK doesn't for recommends07:29
pittimicahg: well, britney just isn't clever enough for this07:29
pittibut anyway, usually you have universe enabled, so it should really prefer what we want users to install07:30
pittiunless they explicitly choose PK07:30
pittiso I think it's not just a c-m workaround to swap it07:30
micahgpitti: well, that'll give us a diff on packagekit, but I guess that's worth a source in universe at least for the LTS07:30
micahgpitti: should I take care of that after beta 1?07:31
pittimicahg: that'd be appreciated07:32
micahgok, will do07:32
pittimicahg: perhaps we can talk Matthias into using ${daemon-Recommends} and setting that accordingly depending on dpkg-vendor --is ubuntu07:33

valavanisalexHi Everyone - a quick packaging question.  I want to set build dependency for Inkscape so that it can be built against either liblcms1-dev or liblcms2-dev.  Should I use an alternative dependency format "liblcms1-dev | liblcms2-dev" or should I use the virtual package "liblcms-dev"?13:47

janimo`jamesh, slangasek do you know what the status of upstart is in Debian as far as they accepting upstart scripts in packages is concerned only (not making it default or anything like that)14:11
ScottKjanimo`: It's up to the package maintainer.14:11
janimo`the former if settled, would be enough to eliminate a few deltas14:11
janimo`ScottK, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577040 I was pointed at this bug14:12

valavanisalex[repost from 13:47] Hi Everyone - a quick packaging question.  I want to set build dependency for Inkscape so that it can be built against either liblcms1-dev or liblcms2-dev.  Should I use an alternative dependency format "liblcms1-dev | liblcms2-dev" or should I use the virtual package "liblcms-dev"?14:29
cyphermoxvalavanisalex: you'll probably want the alternate dependency rather than using the virtual package14:39
janimo`ScottK, anhy further comment re upstart scripts in Debian?14:40
ScottKNo.  It really depends on the maintainer.  AFAIK there's no policy.14:41
janimo`ScottK, but does it not cause such breakage as the (admittedly one year old) bug describes?14:41
janimo`the last comment there (hi soren) makes it sound serious14:42
ScottKIt's clear upstart scripts can be put in Debian without causing harm.14:42
janimo`someone who knows more about this than me should update that bug then :)14:43
janimo`there's no need for policy, but if there are bugs like this maintainers with no experience with upstart  may simply avoid adding upstart scripts.14:44

ogra_stgraber, hmm, wrt bug 942572, metacity uses composite by default nowadays (using SW rendering), it works fine on all arm devices here using xfbved as driver, the setting is hnadled in gconf, i wonder if just gconfd is missing un the ubiquity-dm session or something similar15:07

brendandogra_, stgraber - the system runs unity 3d. always has15:10

brendandsorry i can't get a screen15:10
stgraberbrendand: ok, so maybe you're just experiencing the difference between notify-osd with and without compositing15:12
ogra_brendand, ubiquity-dm doesnt run 3d15:12
ogra_(ubiquity-dm is what you run if choosing install directly at the beginning)15:12
brendandogra_, alright - but it should be solid grey. not grey border + random colour15:13
