[00:34] mhall119: calling devscripts/devscripts/scripts/edit-patch.sh small-desktop-file-fix [00:34] mhall119: that's what edit-patch.sh prints [00:41] bdrung: it works when run from /usr/bin/edit-patch, but not from ~/projects/Ubuntu/devscripts/trunk/scripts/edit-patch.sh [00:41] not sure why that would be [00:43] mhall119: i found it. it's in the main function [00:43] if [ "$(basename $0)" = "edit-patch" ]; then [00:43] oh, because it's .sh in the branch [00:43] :q === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [00:44] hm, the question is: how to make it work even with .sh in a sane way [00:45] bdrung: my patch didn't create this issue though, so can it be accepted [00:45] ? [00:47] mhall119: yes [00:52] psusi: ok, done [00:53] ajmitch, great, thanks [00:56] bdrung: I have a fix for you [00:57] mhall119: i can't wait to see it [00:57] bdrung: making an MP now [00:59] mhall119: you can just pastebinit [00:59] ah, too late [00:59] https://code.launchpad.net/~mhall119/devscripts/allow-edit-patch-sh/+merge/96692 [00:59] mhall119: there is no need for a MP. everything "git am" can handle would be nice. :) [00:59] couse, it has my previous fix in it too [01:00] bdrung: one second [01:01] mhall119: that looks nice. [01:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/875425/ [01:01] I suppose you don't need the echo "Found *-patch" lines [01:03] mhall119: one addition could be added. in the else case it should use fatal_error [01:05] hey... [01:05] so, normally, for a preseed value. [01:05] lets say something (like mysql) takes a preseed/debconf and asks the user for a password. [01:06] next time it is upgraded, i suspect the expected behavior is that it should not re-set that value (in the event that the user has changed it) [01:06] bdrung: is there a reason it didn't? [01:06] generally, should pre-seed only be used on initial install ? [01:06] but then if that is the case what about dplkg-reconfigure [01:07] mhall119: if someone renames the script, it should fail with a proper error message [01:13] bdrung: http://paste.ubuntu.com/875434/ [01:13] was very tempted to make it: fatal_error "Don't call me $0" [01:16] bdrung: http://paste.ubuntu.com/875438/ has the whole set of fixes (excluding the quilt fixes already submitted) [01:16] mhall119: :D that would be a funny error message. [01:20] mhall119: committed. thanks for the fixes. [01:20] bdrung: do I need to submit these to debian too, or can you do that as well? [01:20] mhall119: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=devscripts/devscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=84dd95288a16cd821d8fdeaae2207ac08189e0bb [01:21] and http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=devscripts/devscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d3674964e33eeb7e8a7121b831627f6a84f1c38 [01:21] that's what I figured when you said anything that git woudl accept ;) [01:21] * mhall119 has patches in debain \0/ [01:22] mhall119: now it's time for me to get the remaining ubuntu diffs merged into debian [01:22] wow, and a big head too it seems [01:22] mhall119: one day you might become a DD ;) [01:23] I'll leave that to paultag [01:24] thanks for your help bdrung [01:24] np [01:27] smoser: on dpkg-reconfigure, the prompts are shown to the user, with the answer defaulted to whatever value is currently in the debconf cache [01:27] hm.. yeah, that makes sesne. [01:27] but if they hit enter, then it sets it back. [01:27] is that righ t? [01:27] slangasek, i'm tyring to figure out how i should do this... [01:27] yes, that's the idea [01:28] we want to preseed some data (credentials) into cloud-init [01:28] that willi really be consumed by the installer [01:28] but then if the user modified the cloud-init.cfg file that it wrote, what should happen on package upgraade ? [01:30] typically, if the .cfg file exists, the config script should suck in the debconf values from there, overwriting anything that was preseeded originally [01:30] ah. that would make sense too. [01:32] smoser: the relevant mantra here is: "Debconf is not a registry" :) It's a cache only; anything written out to a config file on disk is meant to take precedence.

[16:43] :w [16:43] heh [16:43] cjwatson: ping [16:45] mhall119: ping (summit questions) [16:49] lynxman: hi [16:49] cjwatson: ello, saw the chef dependency on mcollective-plugins-ohai [16:50] cjwatson: I did that source package, it depends on chef just for that, but removing it would just make that plugin not installable (which makes sense, it bridges with chef) [16:50] cjwatson: if someone wants to use it with the opscode ppa it'll work as intended [16:52] lynxman: then I'm not removing chef - I'm not prepared to have uninstallable packages in the archive, sorry [16:52] cjwatson: let me talk with robbiew [16:52] you could move the binary to that PPA, or downgrade the Depends to Recommends if that makes sense, or something else [16:53] mcollective-plugins-ohai should be removed too, imo [16:53] cjwatson: downgrading sounds good then [16:53] robbiew: that shouldn't be difficult either, your call guys :) [16:53] robbiew: archive admins can't do that until the source package stops building it [16:53] well the version of chef we have is unsupported by OpsCode [16:53] ah [16:53] cjwatson: yeah I can do a new version of mcollective-plugins removing that package [16:53] which is why I bounced the bug [16:54] cjwatson, robbiew: so either recommends or drop it completely, your call [16:54] lynxman: drop it [16:54] robbiew: alright, will drop it straight away, submit a debdiff [16:55] lynxman: fwiw, I confirmed this with opscode in email...they wanted it dropped in addition to ohai and chef [16:55] robbiew: sounds good then :) === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] [17:02] cjwatson, robbiew: Attached debdiff to bug, if someone fancies sponsoring it I will be grateful :) [17:03] pitti: yeah, this is what the code is currently doing, assuming the bulk goes to /usr and adds a fixed amount for /boot for each kernel === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === zyga-afk is now known as zyga [17:29] seb128: no more complaints about gconf, right? :) [17:29] slangasek, no, thanks a lot for fixing it! [17:29] n/p [17:29] sorry it took so long [17:29] no worry [17:29] slangasek, want a new bug? ;-) [17:30] I've some to give away :p [17:30] not really... :) [17:30] I have some to give away too :) [17:30] slangasek, joke aside I just saw bug #950967 [17:30] Launchpad bug 950967 in glib2.0 (Ubuntu) "glib2.0:armel uninstallable on non-native architectures" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/950967 [17:30] slangasek, no hurry but in case you are interested [17:30] I might have a look next week but it's low on my list currently [17:30] I just wanted to point it at least [17:31] here, let me fix that bug title [17:31] :) [17:31] well, let me try and fail to fix that bug title [17:31] launchpad fail? ;-) [17:31] something like that [17:31] anyway [17:33] I think Neil Williams also opened a bug about this in Debian, let me see [17:34] seb128: yeah, mbiebl has already fixed in Debian, I think it's just adding another || true for consistency [17:35] oh, but there's also this: [17:35] + Only run gio-querymodules on the non-multiarch path for the host» [17:35] architecture. [17:35] which is just wrong :/ [17:36] slangasek: why? [17:36] mbiebl: who says /usr/lib/gio/modules belongs to the native arch? [17:37] it's for backwards-compatibility only, but multiarch does not guarantee that the packages installing to that path are of the native arch [17:40] slangasek: how can you install no-native modules in a non-ma path? [17:41] mbiebl: by installing a foreign-arch package that has not yet been converted to the multiarch path [17:41] how is that possible? [17:41] why would it *not* be? [17:41] multiarch only says that you can't have the native one installed *at the same time* [17:42] it doesn't say you can't install the foreign one [17:43] mbiebl: e.g.: http://paste.ubuntu.com/876317/ [17:45] slangasek: ouch, so you could install a arm so in the /usr/lib/gio on a i386 system? [17:45] how is that supposed to work [17:46] it works because the primary use case is for installing packages of archs whose code you can actually run ;) [17:47] and with qemu-user-static + binfmt-support, you can run arm code on x86 [17:47] so what matters is the case where /usr/lib/gio is for the native arch [17:47] no [17:47] if there's a gio module that's only available for i386, the package hasn't been converted to the multiarch path, and my native arch is amd64, what should happen? [17:52] then you have a problem [17:52] if you let random archs put so in /usr/lib/gio [17:53] and process them for every arch [17:53] that won't work [17:53] m_3: ping [17:53] cjohnston: hey! [17:53] mbiebl: it does work, it's been working here for me on Ubuntu for two cycles ;) [17:53] cjohnston: got a couple of questions on summit production installation if you've got a sec [17:53] postgres [17:54] ;-) [17:54] what's up [17:54] whatever [17:54] cjohnston: so lemme see what the current state of the app is... (I've been experimenting)... one sec [17:54] the modules for the wrong arch are ignored [17:54] ok [17:55] and you get a cache of the ones that match your arch [17:55] cjohnston: yeah, it's still doing it: http://ec2-75-101-197-201.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ [17:56] cjohnston: the installation notes seem to all be about setting up a development environment, but it looks like I'm missing some production config [17:56] m_3: python manage.py shell [17:56] m_3: Menu.objects.create(site_id=1, name='uds', slug='uds') [17:56] m_3: exit() [17:58] cjohnston: Menu isn't defined [17:58] hrm [17:58] sory [17:58] cjohnston: the shell told me to remove south though, so that's progress... :) [17:59] from common import Menu [17:59] m_3: Menu.objects.create(site_id=1, name='uds', slug='uds') [17:59] m_3: exit() [18:01] now its complaining about the database engin [18:03] slangasek: talk to Joss, he added that code [18:05] ok [18:06] personally I wasn't aware that gio-query-modules can process arch-foreign modules [18:07] it can't, but it should discard them gracefully [18:07] (AIUI) [18:07] process in the sense that it handles them correctly [18:07] i.e. skip them [18:08] anyway, I'm wondering if it matters much, seing there is no more package installing into /usr/lib/gio [18:08] aren't there? [18:08] Ubuntu still has one (libgio-fam) [18:09] maybe there are third-party ones, I don't know [18:09] but this applies to everything, not just gio [18:11] no libgio-fam on debian [18:11] and I think issues like that need to be decided case by case [18:12] mbiebl, -fam is arch: hurd-any kfreebsd-any [18:12] mbiebl, but it's in debian as well as Ubuntu iirc [18:16] seb128: so it's just a theoretical issue [18:16] mbiebl, I didn't follow, I think it is, in fact in Ubuntu I dropped the compat dir support [18:18] i don't see either where this particular issue matters in practice [18:18] anyway, there is more important things to do than this one === deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck [18:25] seb128: even the libgio-fam package for non-Linux arch use m-a paths [18:25] mbiebl, yeah, agree, I think Steve was just pointing it could be problematic, or rather is theorically wrong, without knowing much about gio and how much it's used [18:26] not sure that was well worded [18:26] "I don't think he looked at the rdepends or what could potentially be installed there as third party, he just pointed that it could be problematic" [18:26] mbiebl, i.e imho in practice it's a non issue and we can move on [18:28] slangasek: actually [18:29] what I actually mean is, "eew, now the maintainer script is way more complicated than it should be, for something that wasn't a bug in the first place" :) [18:29] running gio-query-modules on a non-native arch will overwrite the giomodule.cache [18:29] you don't want that [18:29] mbiebl: no, the giomodule.cache is in an arch-qualified path [18:32] nope, it's created in both [18:32] oh [18:32] ok, that's a good argument then [18:33] though it'd be nice to just drop that compat stuff altogether ASAP :) [18:33] as said, we don't have any /usr/lib/gio modules anymore [18:33] I thought the .cache was built only in one dir, not for each dir [18:33] so we will just drop it post-wheezy [18:33] * slangasek nods === jalcine_ is now known as jalcine === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [19:14] SpamapS: can you check my reasoning in bug #950662? [19:14] Launchpad bug 950662 in upstart (Ubuntu) "Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/950662 [19:15] slangasek: reading [19:18] slangasek: I was also wondering if we shouldn't prevent these messages and the fallback when we actually start configuring an interface [19:18] stgraber: no [19:18] it's not enough to configure *an* interface [19:18] slangasek: very interesting [19:18] you need to successfully configure *all* interfaces to avoid getting a boot delay [19:18] slangasek: I have a system here that takes 45s to 1 minute to configure the network and it's fine and expected, so the failsafe kicking in could give unexpected results [19:19] stgraber: well, you could tweak the timeouts in the file [19:19] but the current behavior is intended [19:19] anyway, it's already a 2 minute delay, isn't that long enough for your network to come up? [19:20] it's for most of them, one system I have 10 bridges, each of them taking up to 30s to come online (standard wait in bridge-utils) [19:20] slangasek: I do see the point in what stgraber is saying.. failsafe is playing a bit dumb right now and warning of the delay, but it might make sense to make it a more informed message. [19:21] how could it be more informed? [19:21] without making it way more complicated [19:21] well if we know about the interfaces being waited on.. and their state, we have some clues that perhaps a message is not needed. [19:21] yeah [19:21] thats the thing, complicated.. [19:22] slangasek: I agree with your assessment to change it from runlevel to starting rc-sysinit .. will mention in the comment as well. [19:22] I'm unsure how to improve the situation and doubt it'd be easy to do for 12.10 but ideally the timeout should be somehow reset every time an interface gets to pre-up [19:25] stgraber: right, I can see wanting to reset the timeout in that case [19:25] but the messages should still be displayed so people know what's going on [19:25] Or just extend it by a factor of the number of interfaces [19:25] and agreed.. message should stay for user sanity :) [19:26] SpamapS: but most of the time the interfaces are going to come up in parallel and 120s is plenty [19:26] slangasek: yeah, the "Waiting for network..." one should be displayed, it'sthe waiting one more minute one we should delay more or have reset every time an interface gets to pre-up [19:27] yeah, the only case I've seen so far where 120s doesn't work is when you have bridges defined in /etc/network/interfaces with bridge-ports none [19:27] these are then started sequentially by /etc/init/networking.conf [19:27] (I'm using these for containers and VMs to create separate networks) [19:28] does https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415353 count? ~10 minutes on my servers. [19:28] Launchpad bug 415353 in linux (Ubuntu Lucid) "karmic/lucid installation slow on "detecting network hardware" with bnx2x" [Medium,Incomplete] [19:29] maswan: it'd help booting a system like this post-install yes, though the delay in your case is definitely a bug :) [19:39] slangasek: if the absolute time of the timeout were simply pushed back, not the amount of time remaining, then parallel or not, it woudl work out and be fairly simple [19:40] SpamapS: it would be an inappropriately long timeout in the case of /etc/network/interfaces containing configuration for interfaces that don't exist [19:40] slangasek: as stgraber says, only if they enter pre-up [19:40] slangasek: or are you saying, thos still go pre-up.. ? [19:41] oh, no [19:41] you said "extend it by a factor of the number of interfaces", I didn't realize you meant to count the number of interfaces coming up [19:41] I assumed you meant counting the number of interfaces configured initially [19:41] Its a nice feature to think about..just calculate now+60s and then write that to a file, and any time there is a pre-up, push the time back to now+60s .. [19:41] slangasek: yeah that was folly ;) [20:09] sabdfl: Per discussion on ubuntu-devel@, I'm submitting the application for Ubuntu to GSoC.

[21:07] it seems i'm only getting the first line if i do : [21:08] val="$(debconf-escape --escape < my.local )" [21:08] printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" cloud-init cloud-init/local-cloud-config string "$val" | sudo debconf-set-selections -v [21:08] then, in the postinst of cloud-init, i'm doing: [21:08] db_get "${debconf_name}" && ccfg="$RET" || : [21:08] but it seems like ccfg ends up with only the first line [21:12] it seems to be getting stored correctly in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat [21:23] roaksoax: That curl-udeb we discussed, can you upload it please [21:23] (isn't finished? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~andreserl/ubuntu/precise/curl/lp940425/revision/57) [21:23] Daviey: give me a few seconds [21:23] Daviey: yes and now, I mistakenly uploaded that branch without adding the bin, but I do have a diff with it that i'm applying now [21:24] cool, can you pastebin the diff first? [21:24] slangasek, that seem possible to you ? [21:25] Daviey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/876623/ [21:25] that debconf 'db_get' is broken for multi-line input that has been escaped with 'debconf-escape --escape' ? [21:25] cjwatson, ^ ? (i'm sure you're not around) [21:25] smoser: there's a debconf feature you have to turn on to indicate how to handle escaping [21:26] Daviey: should I upload now? [21:27] roaksoax: One mo, i'm in a situation where i can test it easily. [21:27] Daviey: ok cool, this also means adding Depends on curl-udeb for maas-enlist-udeb [21:28] slangasek, so maybe 'db_capb ESCAPE' ? [21:28] smoser: call db_capb escape, yes [21:28] i'll give that a try. thanks. [21:30] slangasek, gracias. all happy now.

[22:16] iulian, cheers! could be useful in Debian too, are you active there or is Laney the contact? [22:22] janimo`: I think I have a fix without using sed, using the preprocessor [22:22] but yes, I'll ask the list and see if we want it in Debian [22:24] kenvandine: Your pidgin upload build-depends on a package that's apparently not even in the archive. This might be the sort of thing that ought to be discussed with the release team (i.e. FFe) before you do it. Please fix. [22:24] Laney, at least the VFPv3D16 change is needed there too to be conformant to what the debian/ubuntu armhf port targets [22:25] ScottK, you mean farsight? [22:25] it was a package rename [22:25] janimo`: in aclocal? yeah [22:25] Is the renamed package in Ubuntu? [22:25] we synced it from debian [22:25] yes, but it had a dep from universe, i uploaded a fix a bit ago [22:26] upstream renamed farsight to farstream and empathy/telepathy stuff depended on it [22:27] Telepathy-farstream? [22:27] telepathy-farstream depended on the rename too [22:27] that existed [22:28] farstream is what it needed [22:28] we discussed it with pitti, he said it was fine [22:28] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search?text=farstream says it's still not there. [22:29] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/farstream/0.1.1-1ubuntu1 [22:29] OK. Weird. [22:29] once the fix i uploaded is published i am going to kick of rebuilds [22:29] OK. [22:30] BTW, if there had been an FFe bug that explained all this, then people other than pitti on the release team would have known. [22:30] Or, if it had all gone smoothly, no one would have cared. ;) [22:31] ScottK, sorry, we figured since it was basically part of the gnome 3.3.90 update [22:31] Right, but as infinity says, once it starts to go sideways, people notice. [22:32] Also Kubuntu is using Telepathy now, so it's not just an Ubuntu concern. [22:32] janimo`: I'm also active in Debian but Laney is doing the uploads there because I have limited upload privileges. [22:32] oh, anything using telepathy-farstream? [22:33] I'm not sure.
