mhall119broder: jelmer: I'm back, did you guys come to a consensus?00:53
infinitysmoser: Can you do me a favour and grab the patch from my latest bacula upload and forward that upstream instead of the one you gave them previously?03:23
infinitysmoser: Their bug tracker seems to require an account, and I can't be bothered, but I assume you have one. :P03:24
infinitysmoser: Also (relating to bacula against), does the console client need curses?  I saw some "curses.h: No such file" zip past in the build log, though this isn't new, old logs have that too.04:14
infinitysmoser: If that's required, I'd assume it's missing a build-dep.  But I dunno.  Maybe it's fine without.04:16
infinitysmoser: Oh, I see.  I think this is just a maintainer oops, based on the fact that readline-dev used to depend on curses-dev.  I'll do a test-build with the fixed build-dep and upload again.04:25
tjaaltonslangasek: well, it shouldn't run chvt if a dm is installed, as i see it04:36
tjaaltonslangasek: but yeah, if you know the issue exists then that's enough for me :)04:37
infinitysmoser: Oh, haha.  Even better.  The curses thing is upstream brain damage.  We turn off conio (their readline substitute) and turn on readline, but if conio's tests (which need curses) fail, it doesn't enable either.04:53
infinitysmoser: So, having curses.h makes the readline support work, despite not actually needing it for the build.  Smart.04:54

pittiroaksoax: the recommended way is to not set a password at all05:52
pittiroaksoax: and use ident authentication -- i. e. create a system user for that service, and a db user of the same name05:53

cjwatson'sudo make clean' and then you shouldn't need sudo any more.16:08

jdstrandmhall119: if I upload I can't deNEW for you (this is archive admin policy). please have someone upload on your behalf and I can review then17:02
mhall119didrocks: ^^ please upload for jdstrand17:02
didrocksjdstrand: ok, we do have quite some packages that are using a split bzr mode without upstream tarball17:02
mhall119didrocks: lp:unity-quickly-templates/precise-package is the ./debian/ only branch17:03
jdstranddidrocks: I realize that, and one by one as they come through NEW I ask for this17:03
didrocksjdstrand: ok, good to know, I never made this a requirement for packages that were ubuntuish17:03
jdstrandmy long term goal is to be able to automate the source integrity of the archive17:03
didrocksjdstrand: do you have anything to do with… security? j/k ;)17:04

blackbughi again cjwatson, can you answer my question it was from different id (kk_) before..  I am trying to fix an issue, i have done sanity testing it's almost fine, but how to make sure it adher's ubuntu coding guidelines. who will review it?17:58
cjwatsonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess17:58
cjwatsonit's not possible to give you a specific name of somebody who will review it in advance17:59
cjwatsonin many cases it ought to go to the upstream developers17:59
blackbugah ok, thanks)17:59
shnatselHello! I suspect that one unit test in Ubiquity goes mad and doesn't let me build a package17:59
cjwatsonas in the people who actually wrote the software in question; Ubuntu is just a distributor, although we do often modify packages17:59
cjwatsonshnatsel: oh?18:00
shnatselI've replaced two pics with pics of smaller size, and now it fails in "test_pages_fit_on_a_netbook"18:00
shnatselcjwatson: bug 95012518:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 950125 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "[ftbfs] Fails to build due to test failing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/95012518:00
cjwatsonthat test is a bit delicate18:00
cjwatsonftbfs isn't accurate though, that means unmodified builds in the archive ...18:00
shnatselcjwatson: it builds fine locally, but not in PPA18:01
cjwatsonI think it may be somewhat theming-dependent18:01
blackbughmm ok, the thing is intially one is ot aware about the coding guidelines and practices followed, and it can go smooth only with some tips or suggestions after reviewing code. anyway thanks for the link cjwatson.18:01
cjwatsonblackbug: there's no single such thing as Ubuntu coding guidelines though, it depends on the package you're working on18:01
shnatselcjwatson: thanks! , won't misuse again18:01
cjwatsonblackbug: you should follow the coding style of the package you're working on18:01
shnatsels/ ,/my bad,/18:02
cjwatsonshnatsel: have you tried it in a local sbuild?18:02
shnatselcjwatson: no, because I don't know what's an sbuild18:03
cjwatsonapt-cache show18:03
cjwatsonor pbuilder18:03
shnatselcjwatson: thanks, will do!18:04
cjwatsonthe important bit is that it's a clean chroot without any bits of your normal user's desktop environment lying around in it18:05
cjwatsonbut, if it's really getting in your way, you can of course just bump the numbers there or disable the test; you may not care about what it's testing for18:06
shnatselthat's going to land in elementary OS, so I do care18:07
shnatselbrb relogin to make sbuild work18:07
cjwatsonshnatsel: ah, apparently broke in 2.9.25 (#ubuntu-installer)18:18
cjwatsonso it's not about your changes, something changed under us18:18
shnatselcjwatson: is this going to be fixed for Precise or it's a low-priority item and I should just disable testing if I want it to work?18:19
cjwatsonit will have to be fixed for precise since it's blocking us18:19
cjwatsonso the ftbfs tag was accurate after all ;)18:20
shnatselcjwatson: ok, is there a bug report to which I should mark mine as duplicate?18:20
cjwatsonno18:20
stgrabershnatsel: yours just became the main bug report ;)18:21
shnatselstgraber: good to know :)18:22
stgrabershnatsel: I'm currently looking into that bug as it caused by upload to fail even though I ran the test before uploading...18:22
shnatselstgraber: thanks!18:22
cjwatsonblackbug: please don't do that, DCC is useless18:44
cjwatson(it can't traverse NAT, at least not in my setup, and I've no intention of putting the work in to figure out how to fix that)18:44
stgrabercjwatson: IPv6!18:45
blackbugok, does gnome-screenshot has any bzr branch? i couldnt find it18:45
cjwatsonDCC CHAT is pointless anyway, just use /query.  but in any case why ask me this kind of thing personally, I have nothing to do with gnome-screenshot18:45
cjwatsonstgraber: I have IPv6 but I'm willing to bet most of the people who try to DCC CHAT me don't :-)18:46
cjwatson(and I rather suspect my firewall would deny it anyway ...)18:46
blackbugok, actually i was workin on 949341 which i encountered last night, but i could not find any branch registered on bzr, so was curious to know.18:48

ubottuLaunchpad bug 949341 in gnome-screenshot (Ubuntu) "gnome-screenshot crashes with core dump" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94934118:49
shnatselblackbug: I'll try to look up the branch for you18:49
yofelcjwatson: hi, could you add konsole back to the kubuntu packageset please? It's not in there anymore for some reason18:50
blackbugshnatsel: thanks)18:51
cjwatsonyofel: needs a manual exception - please send me mail so I have an audit trail18:51
stgraberblackbug: it's usually under ~ubuntu-desktop but this package doesn't seem to have one, so the UDD branch is probably the right one "bzr branch ubuntu:gnome-screenshot"18:51
yofelwill do18:51
* micahg wonders why konsole would need an exceptions as it's explicitly seeded18:52
blackbugshnatsel: doesnt seem to work "bzr branch ubuntu:gnome-screenshot"18:52
broderhmm. why don't we patch debcheckout to know about udd branches?18:53
shnatselblackbug: bzr branch lp:ubuntu/gnome-screenshot then18:53
stgraberblackbug: hmm, indeed, odd18:53
shnatselblackbug: that's how I do it18:54
blackbugnope..doesnt work either18:54
cjwatsonmicahg: it's in desktop-core, presumably something pulls it in more deeply18:54
stgraberblackbug: the importer failed (http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/gnome-screenshot.html#2012-02-17%2010:17:39.345154)18:55
shnatselah, that's why some bzr branches in launchpad lag behind versions in the archive!18:55
stgraberblackbug: so you probably should just go with a good old "apt-get source gnome-screenshot" (requires deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list), then diff manually your changes18:55
micahgcjwatson: I think that's a bug too :)18:55
stgrabershnatsel: yep, not everyone pushes to the branch before uploading which causes the lag, also there are bugs causing the importer to fail for some branches18:56
shnatselstgraber: I actually planned to maintain patched versions of Ubuntu packages using those branches and LP recipes. Looks like it's a bad idea.18:56
shnatselstgraber: in fact, that ubiquity thing is one of them18:57
stgrabershnatsel: yeah, for ubiquity you'd want to use lp:ubiquity instead, that's where we push the changes as they happen18:57
shnatselstgraber: that won't let me maintain older versions though... this way Precise will get Ubiquity from Q release eventually19:00
cjwatsonshnatsel: we tag every version we upload and you can branch off a tag19:00
blackbugyes i made changes on the source code fetched from apt-get source. but how should i attached my changes with the bug?19:00
cjwatsonor indeed off any revision you like19:00
shnatselcjwatson: thanks, will do something like that19:01
stgrabershnatsel: ubiquity bug fixed19:15
stgrabershnatsel: I'm releasing 2.9.26 now19:15
shnatselstgraber: w00t! thanks a lot!19:15
stgrabershnatsel: adding a build-dependency on ubuntu-artwork makes the test use the right theme and succeed19:16
shnatselstgraber: thanks for the info, that's a thing for me to patch away XD19:17
=== Ursinha-lunch is now known as Ursinha
stgrabershnatsel: well, it's just a build-dependency, it won't result in a runtime dependency on ubuntu-artwork, so even if you don't use ubuntu-artwork it should be safe to use as a build-dep19:18
stgrabershnatsel: though I guess it'd be best to run the test with your own theme to ensure the rendering works with yours :)19:18
shnatselstgraber: yep, that's the plan :)19:18

broderhmm, did the kernel stop passing its command line arguments to PID 1? upstart doesn't seem to be getting my --verbose argument19:53
broderoh wait, i'm an idiot19:53
stgraberbroder: the kernel passes them to /sbin/init in the initramfs, which then has to passe them to /sbin/init on the filesystem19:54
broderstgraber: hmm...19:54
broderevan@caron:~$ cat /proc/1/cmdline | xargs -019:54
broder/sbin/init19:55
stgraberbroder: /usr/share/initramfs/tools/init doesn't show anything for --debug19:56
stgraberbroder: oh but it uses $@ so you should be getting everything indeed19:57
broderright. so apparently the initramfs init isn't getting any arguments19:58
broderi feel like i remember that being a distro patch...19:58
broderi wonder if it should be passing $(cat /proc/cmdline) instead19:59
broderor alternatively if upstart should be injecting /proc/cmdline into its argv before parsing20:04
=== htorque_ is now known as htorque
infinitybroder: init shouldn't be getting cmdline completely raw, though, as it might get parsed and stripped by the initrd.  In theory.20:17
broderinfinity: ok, i didn't know that was a theoretical possibility. in that case i offer that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init should be passing $(cat /proc/cmdline) to real root's /sbin/init20:18
infinityWell, I was just saying that I don't think that's sane. :P20:19
brodererr, oh, you're complaining about spaces/quotes/etc?20:19
broderwas any of that ever actually handled correctly when the kernel was passing it on?20:19
infinityOr just stuff that's meant for the initramfs init.  There's no need to pass that on.20:20
infinityBut the real question here is what't the bug/issue?20:20
broderi passed --verbose on the kernel commandline expecting that to get me information from upstart as to what events were being processed20:20
infinityI'm not entirely positive that /proc/1/cmdline is an accurate representation of reality.20:22
broderthat's possible, but upstart definitely wasn't getting the --verbose argument - the log-priority was still set at message when i managed to get to enough of a userspace to check20:23
infinitySure, but we know, for instance, that --log works.20:24
infinitySo, it's obviously getting arguments.20:24
brodererr, i should have clarified incidentally that i'm using oneiric20:24
broderhave not tested this on precise yet20:24
infinityinitramfs hasn't changes much in that time.20:25
infinityNor klibc.20:25
infinity(And /proc/1/cmdline on my precise machine claims init has no arguments, which I know is patently false)20:25
infinitySo, I suspect it's a red herring that has more to do with all the init pivoting insanity done by run-init to keep PID 1 as PID 1.20:25
slangasekI'm sure that I've used --verbose with precise and oneiric kernels and gotten the expected results from upstart20:26
broderwait...wtf. it works for me now. wtf was i doing before?20:27
infinity:P20:27
infinityI probably don't want to know.20:27
infinityAnd you likely don't either.20:27
