| Bluefoxicy | RAOF: this is so .... very strange. | 03:19 |
| Bluefoxicy | Thunderbird hasn't bloated under hoard | 03:19 |
| Bluefoxicy | I mean | 03:19 |
| Bluefoxicy | Iit's running with 339MB, instead of 1.8GB which is where it got all the time while I kept restarting it. | 03:19 |
| Bluefoxicy | after a day or so. | 03:20 |
| Bluefoxicy | uh, guys? | 03:42 |
| * RAOF was just googling hoard. | 03:43 | |
| Bluefoxicy | How in the heck is there a package in Main that DEPENDS ON A PACKAGE IN UNIVERSE? | 03:43 |
| micahg | Bluefoxicy: shouldn't be, example please? | 03:43 |
| Bluefoxicy | actually let me upgrade it to make sure | 03:43 |
| Bluefoxicy | but my currently installed version in Precise shows gnome-session-fallback as universe | 03:44 |
| Bluefoxicy | gnome-session is in main and depends on it | 03:44 |
| micahg | not in precise | 03:44 |
| micahg | the depends doesn't exist I mean | 03:45 |
| ajmitch | it's in Suggests | 03:45 |
| Bluefoxicy | ah | 03:45 |
| Bluefoxicy | that explains ... most of it. | 03:45 |
| Bluefoxicy | I was looking in Synaptic at the "Dependents" for gnome-session-fallback | 03:45 |
| ajmitch | yeah, that likely looks at Suggests as well | 03:46 |
| Bluefoxicy | which said that gnome-session depends on it, rather than suggests it | 03:46 |
| ajmitch | 'reverse-depends gnome-session-fallback' is probably a bit more accurate | 03:46 |
| micahg | apt-cache show gnome-session works also :) | 03:47 |
| Bluefoxicy | RAOF: man-db update in dpkg --configure seems to segfault with hoard though, be wary if you go playing with it. | 03:48 |
| Bluefoxicy | More basically though I don't trust the behavior I'm getting. The default allocator cannot be this bad, I'm doing something wrong somewhere. | 03:48 |
| Bluefoxicy | ajmitch: it says "Dependency of" in that dialog in Synaptic, maybe it should say "Suggested by" or "Recommended by" depending on if the package suggests/recommends (or is that the same thing? I forget) | 03:49 |

| kees | you want -fstack-protector-all to go at the end, iiuc | 07:09 |
| kees | kmc: but if you're building with dh, you can turn it off with "export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=-stackprotector" | 07:11 |

| kmc | okay, i will try DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS, thanks! | 07:13 |

| apw | cjwatson, we are using -proposed a bit in precise to avoid people getting messed up, however as an upgrader who had -proposed enabled by default before update, i still do after which i think defeats the idea slightly | 09:11 |
| apw | cjwatson, i wonder if we need to be turning it off when one updates across the stable/devel boundary | 09:12 |
| cjwatson | mhall119: nobody maintains that list; it's a set of patches generated in the very early days of Ubuntu, which continues to be published to avoid breaking links, but which is no longer added to | 09:12 |
| cjwatson | jibel: dunno, perhaps preseeding? | 09:12 |
| kmc | f/part | 09:12 |
| kmc | whoops sorry | 09:12 |
| cjwatson | apw: *shrug* personally I think people who've opted into proposed updates have opted in :) | 09:13 |
| apw | cjwatson, :) | 09:14 |
| Laney | well, the release upgrader could disable proposed when upgrading to a devel release | 09:15 |
| cjwatson | Clearly it technically could; it's not clear those are the right semantics | 09:17 |
| cjwatson | Longer-term we're intending to use -proposed in development releases as something similar to Debian unstable, and that's certainly something that many technically-minded users and developers run directly | 09:17 |
| cjwatson | Also if we removed -proposed only pre-release that would mean testing pre-release and post-release would have different effects, which is often a questionable thing to do - and it would lose the information that somebody's opted into post-release proposed updates | 09:18 |
| diwic | pitti, I'm trying to trace down a crash in jackd2, but I'm having troubles getting debug symbols - the library, libjackserver.so.0.1.0, is in package jackd2 but there is no jackd2-dbgsym on ddebs.ubuntu.com. Any ideas? | 09:20 |
| Laney | I don't know what the plans are, but it seems like currently pre-release it's used mainly to avoid skew which isn't something that people need to have in their sources.list. | 09:21 |
| Laney | If it's used for packages that we want people to run then it is indeed different. | 09:21 |
| cjwatson | There'll be skew in the exact same way post-release | 09:23 |
| cjwatson | So if people have trouble dealing with that, it's a wash either way | 09:23 |
| didrocks | could someone reject https://code.launchpad.net/~arashbm/ubuntu/precise/compizconfig-settings-manager/add_quicklist/+merge/94462 please? | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | We've certainly discussed having things for people to test in -proposed pre-release; we've not been doing so much thus far because our tools for managing -proposed currently suck | 09:24 |
| didrocks | same story for https://code.launchpad.net/~mniess/ubuntu/precise/compiz/fix-screenshot/+merge/100539 | 09:25 |
| didrocks | and same for https://code.launchpad.net/~nathwill/ubuntu/precise/unity/lp-972247/+merge/100927 | 09:28 |
| didrocks | dholbach: compiz/unity ones done ^ | 09:28 |
| Laney | Of course the skew issues aren't solved post-release, but there is a point to -proposed then: to test fixes. If it's just used for skew avoidance pre-release then there is no point running it and it's just pain for no gain. | 09:32 |
| Laney | I do look forward to using it more for testing, though. | 09:33 |
| pitti | diwic: we often lose ddebs due to various problems with the hack that ddebs.u.c. is | 09:37 |
| pitti | diwic: if it was built less than 7 days ago, I can rescue them, otherwise they are lost, I'm afraid :/ | 09:37 |
| diwic | pitti, but that means that if I build it locally it would make ddebs? | 09:37 |
| pitti | diwic: if you install pkg-create-dbgsym, yes | 09:37 |
| pitti | you just won't be able to process other people's core dumps with those | 09:38 |
| diwic | pitti, thanks, will try that. | 09:38 |
| diwic | pitti, it's fairly reproducible here (for once...!) | 09:38 |
| pitti | diwic: but if you can reproduce the bug, it's probably easier to just do a DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip,noopt build | 09:38 |
| pitti | which will also give you the non-optimized variant and thus an easier to debug one | 09:38 |
| diwic | pitti, hum, unless the noopt changes things around that causes the sigsegv not to happen | 09:39 |
| diwic | pitti, thanks for the tip! | 09:39 |
| pitti | diwic: yes, that often happens unfortunately | 09:40 |
| pitti | if so, drop the noopt | 09:40 |

| hyperair | say, how does sponsoring involving bzr work? | 10:02 |
| hyperair | after merging, do i push to lp:ubuntu/$pkg? | 10:02 |
| hyperair | or do i just dput? | 10:02 |
| Laney | both | 10:02 |
| hyperair | oh | 10:02 |
| hyperair | okay | 10:02 |
| hyperair | doesn't lp:ubuntu/stuff get auto-updated anyway? | 10:03 |
| hyperair | and should i tag it? | 10:03 |
| Laney | if you don't push then the importer will push to the branch, but that will obviously not be the 'proper' changes you made | 10:03 |
| hyperair | i see | 10:03 |
| hyperair | and what about tagging? | 10:03 |
| hyperair | does the importer handle the tagging, or do i? | 10:04 |
| Laney | i think you do it, with bzr mark-uploaded | 10:04 |
| Laney | but not sure about that | 10:04 |
| jelmer | hyperair, Laney: if you push the revision contents, you should do the tagging | 10:06 |
| Laney | jelmer: I thought I head something about mark-uploaded being handled by some other part of the process these days, but I'm too far out of the loop to know anything. :( | 10:06 |
| hyperair | jelmer: okay. does mark-uploaded do anything special or does it just tag? | 10:07 |
| jelmer | hyperair: it just tags - "bzr tag" (no arguments) has the same effect | 10:07 |
| Laney | aha, that is probably what I heard | 10:07 |
| jelmer | Laney: if you leave the creation of the revision to the importer and don't push yourself, then the importer will also take care of the tagging | 10:07 |
| hyperair | jelmer: okay, thanks. i'm using git-bzr-ng | 10:08 |
| hyperair | it at least makes bzr bearable to use | 10:08 |
| Laney | is it transparent wrt branches? | 10:08 |
| jelmer | hyperair: note that git doesn't handle some characters in tag names, not sure how that interacts with git-bzr-ng | 10:09 |
| hyperair | jelmer: ah right, i forgot about that. well this one doesn't have ~ so i guess it's fine. | 10:10 |
| hyperair | Laney: yeah it is | 10:10 |
| Laney | nice | 10:10 |
| hyperair | Laney: except it doesn't have the git-buildpackage format | 10:10 |
| Laney | how do you do that then? | 10:11 |
| hyperair | Laney: well, if you have tarballs lying around, you can use it without an upstream branch and without pristine-tar. | 10:12 |
| hyperair | Laney: and if it's a native package, it works fine anyway | 10:12 |
| Laney | maybe git-bzr-ng could learn how to expose pristine-tar. the upstream branch isn't necessary | 10:13 |
| hyperair | Laney: did bzr ever have pristine-tar? | 10:14 |
| Laney | it does, but I don't know how it works. | 10:14 |
| hyperair | hmm really | 10:14 |
| Laney | I think you can have extra data associated with a revision, which is where they store the pristine-tar data | 10:15 |
| hyperair | well either way i don't plan to do very serious work over bzr. just a couple of random commits/merges. just today i had to wrestle with incompatible bzr repository formats | 10:15 |
| hyperair | stupid thing. | 10:16 |
| Laney | https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr-builddeb-hackers/bzr-builddeb/trunk/view/head:/upstream/pristinetar.py | 10:16 |

| hyperair | jelmer: ? | 10:19 |
| jelmer | hyperair: everything should be in the same format these days, and has been for a long time | 10:19 |
| hyperair | hmm is /var/crash supposed to be world-writable? | 11:03 |
| hyperair | it looks like ubuntu-bug tries to write the .upload into /var/crash and fails | 11:03 |

| dpm | hi mvo, quick question, do you know if it's possible to get a shell script to check whether a command exists, and if it doesn't, get it to call command-not-found to get the usual message with a note about in which package it can be found and the apt-get install line? | 11:18 |
| pitti | dpm: check whether a command exists: | 11:18 |
| pitti | if type mycommand >/dev/null 2>&1; then ... | 11:19 |
| pitti | dpm: in the else branch you can then echo the hint | 11:19 |
| dpm | thanks pitti, but I was wondering if I could get command-not-found to guess the package where the command is and print the hint for me | 11:20 |
| cjwatson | /usr/lib/command-not-found mycommand | 11:20 |

| dpm | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/933828/ | 11:24 |
| dpm | I was thinking more along the lines of (after reinstalling the package): | 11:24 |
| dpm | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/933829/ | 11:24 |
| dpm | which basically says that the command is not present, but that it can be installed from the given package | 11:25 |
| dpm | I get this output by running the command on the terminal | 11:26 |
| cjwatson | no no, you do the type test and then fall back to c-n-f | 11:26 |
| cjwatson | of course you'd need to depend on command-not-found for this since it's not installed in minimal environments | 11:27 |
| dpm | cjwatson, as in 'if type po4a >/dev/null 2>&1; then /usr/lib/command-not-found po4a; fi'? (sorry, I'm not good at shell programming) | 11:31 |
| seb128 | dpm, what problem do you try to solve? | 11:31 |
| dpm | seb128, ah, it's for a script to translate the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. It requires po4a to be run, and I simply wanted to add a check to see whether it is installed, and if not, output a message showing how it can be installed, in a similar way you see when you type a command on the terminal that's not installed in the system | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | dpm: 'if ! type po4a ...' but yes | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | also possibly an exit or break or whatever in there depending on context | 11:33 |
| dpm | cjwatson, ah cool, yes, that works, and I'll just need to add an exit, thanks! | 11:34 |

| === greyback|lunch is now known as greyback | ||
| mvo | Mirv: hey, I fixed the ddtp import stuff today I think so hopefully by tomorrow LP has merged the updated strings | 13:21 |
| greyback | ahasenack: magic, can you pastebin please? | 13:21 |
| ahasenack | greyback: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/936560/+attachment/3083556/+files/stacktrace.txt works? | 13:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 936560 in unity-2d (Ubuntu) "unity-2d-shell crashed with SIGSEGV" [Medium,Confirmed] | 13:21 |
| greyback | ahasenack: is there *anything* you notice that causes this crash? | 13:21 |
| greyback | ahasenack: it's driving us nuts | 13:22 |
| ahasenack | greyback: since this was running for a few hours already and without a crash, I started "exercising" unity-2d | 13:22 |
| ahasenack | greyback: so I changed background (not related), fired up some apps via the pannel, maximized and minimized them, and did a lot of exposès | 13:22 |
| ahasenack | greyback: eventually it crashed in a few minutes after I started doing that | 13:22 |
| ahasenack | greyback: but nothing specific I could put my finger on | 13:23 |
| ahasenack | greyback: and seems like I'm still missing some -dbg packages | 13:23 |
| greyback | ahasenack: interesting, I see the onActiveWorkspaceChanged signal again. I might have fix for that | 13:23 |
| ahasenack | I only have libqt4-dbg, libqt4-script-dbg and unity-2d-dbg | 13:23 |
| greyback | but that's again a different bt from the original one, which depended on QDeclarativeFlickable | 13:24 |
| ahasenack | greyback: also, i remember that a notification came up while I was in exposè | 13:24 |
| ahasenack | but the crash wasn't right at that moment | 13:24 |
| greyback | ahasenack: ok, thanks very much for that | 13:24 |
| greyback | ahasenack: I'll ping you if I need anything more | 13:25 |
| ahasenack | greyback: ok, I'll leave it running in gdb again | 13:25 |
| greyback | ahasenack: thanks | 13:25 |
| ahasenack | greyback: any other -dbg package I should/could install before? | 13:26 |
| ahasenack | greyback: hm, some apps appear to have died as a result of that crash, but maybe it was a coincidence. chromium and pidgin | 13:26 |
| greyback | ahasenack: I don't think it's necessary, I do think it's our bug | 13:26 |

| mvo | cjwatson: do you have anything else pending for update-manager? or bdmurray? if not I can upload | 13:54 |
| greyback | barry: hey, I wanted to ask you how the Alt key is behaving for you with Unity2D | 13:54 |
| barry | greyback: with the ppa version or stock version? | 13:54 |
| greyback | barry: 5.10 or later (so about the last 2 weeks) | 13:55 |
| barry | greyback: not so good unfortunately. i tried it last week after a dist-upgrade and it still gets invoked too often. however, i think it's been narrowed down to the vm environment. i'll try it again right now on both a vm and native | 13:56 |
| greyback | barry: appreciated | 13:56 |
| tsdgeos | ahasenack: if i give you a small patch file for one of the unity2d files can you check if it fixes the crash you're experimenting? | 14:03 |
| ahasenack | tsdgeos: more or less, since I don't have a specific way to trigger it, it just eventually happens. So if it doesn't happen for one or two days, it might have helped | 14:04 |
| tsdgeos | well | 14:04 |
| tsdgeos | it triggers more for you than for us | 14:04 |
| ahasenack | :) | 14:04 |
| tsdgeos | so i think it's worth trying | 14:05 |
| ahasenack | sure | 14:05 |
| tsdgeos | ahasenack: can you download https://pastebin.canonical.com/64404/ | 14:05 |
| tsdgeos | put it on a file | 14:05 |
| tsdgeos | and then go to /usr/share/unity-2d/shell/launcher | 14:05 |
| tsdgeos | sudo patch -p0 < /path/to/that/file | 14:06 |
| ahasenack | ok | 14:06 |
| tsdgeos | ahasenack: actually, can you get https://pastebin.canonical.com/64405/ | 14:07 |
| tsdgeos | it adds a logging line | 14:07 |
| tsdgeos | so if you see it | 14:07 |
| tsdgeos | means that something that we are not accounting for happened | 14:07 |
| ahasenack | ok | 14:08 |
| tsdgeos | great :-) | 14:08 |
| tsdgeos | thanks | 14:08 |
| barry | greyback: okay, i've done a bit of testing on both systems, after a dist-upgrade and reboot. i have some feedback (and managed to crash u2d in the meantime :) | 14:15 |
| barry | greyback: on the native install, alt is less prone to accidentally invoke the hud, although i've noticed a few questionable invokes while doing normal stuff in emacs. i would need a longer session on that box to know if it's a persistent problem, so i'll try to spend a bit more time hacking on that machine today | 14:17 |
| barry | greyback: on the vm install, the alt is still unusable. i suspect that this has something to do with the way fusion is forwarding key events to the guest os. note that i'm using fusion 4.1.2 which is the latest release. | 14:18 |
| Ali | Hello :D | 14:18 |
| barry | greyback: so, on the vm box, i rebound HUD to Alt R and then did a bunch of tapping and holding to see what happened. bug 984012 is one fo the things that happened. ;) one of the things that *didn't* happen though is that the HUD didn't come up | 14:19 |

| Ali | Can anyone please tell which chapters should I study from "Operating System Concepts" if I want to understand ubuntu's source? | 14:20 |
| maco | Ali: thatll help you understand *linux*'s source | 14:21 |
| maco | Ali: Operating System Concepts is about kernels | 14:21 |
| maco | though iirc, it | 14:21 |
| maco | 's written from a solaris perspective | 14:21 |
| Ali | I see. | 14:21 |
| maco | i was asked to help update the next version to have a linux perspective, but... my kernel-fu not up for it :P | 14:21 |
| barry | greyback: eot :) | 14:21 |
| Ali | Is there anything in that book that I need to know before I (try to) jump into ubuntu dev :D | 14:23 |
| Ali | Summers are coming up. I don't want to work on meaningless self-projects :( pls help | 14:24 |
| maco | Ali: depends what you want to develop on... kernel hacking? read the book and get good with C. desktop applications? check out the docs for GTK (if you want to work on ubuntu desktop apps) or Qt (if you want to work on Kubuntu desktop apps), which are usually used with C or C++ respectively, but they both have Python bindings as well | 14:24 |
| maco | Unity is written in C I think, but Unity-2d is Qt/C++ iirc | 14:25 |
| seb128 | mdke, hey, there? | 14:25 |
| maco | I find PyGTK and PyQt to be very nice libraries to work with | 14:25 |
| Ali | Okay. thank you :) | 14:25 |
| Riddell | maco: several of ubuntu desktop apps are Qt now (and Unity isn't gtk at all as far as I know) | 14:26 |
| Ali | I'll look into PyQt. I worked with Qt under windows a couple of months back. | 14:26 |
| maco | Riddell: i thought unity was plain ol' C, just GLib etc. | 14:26 |
| maco | though, it's a Compiz plugin, so idk what else gets thrown in on top of that base | 14:27 |

| cjwatson | well, ok | 14:57 |
| barry | (not saying it should be fixed of course) | 14:57 |
| barry | er, *shouldn't* | 14:57 |
| barry | cjwatson: i think the change in language is easy. what i'm less sure about, and what maybe mvo can comment on, is whether we can actually detect if the problem is a slow/faulty mirror or something else | 14:58 |
| slangasek | dupondje: could you provide that as an incremental patch against the previously uploaded apt 13.3, please? easier for me to merge that way | 14:58 |
| mvo | right, well, that one is tricky, if the server suddently starts delievering zero size files, that could be a lot, usually its a overloaded server but it might also be misconfiguration and the like | 14:58 |

| mvo | bdmurray: aha, nice. did pitti give some input on that too? | 15:04 |
| slangasek | barry: would it be enough to add in a generic "this may be caused by [...], please try again later" at the end of the message? | 15:04 |

| cjwatson | right, which has a quite different signature | 15:23 |
| doko | ScottK, I don't care if it goes into -proposed for a SRU or not. but the upgrade should be safe, including the replaces | 15:24 |
| ScottK | Why not just do it in "Q"? | 15:25 |
| ScottK | It's lack is not an RC bug. | 15:26 |
| doko | precise should have the python2 symlinks | 15:26 |
| mvo | cjwatson: hm, your comments indicate its a ordering problem? | 15:35 |
| ScottK | slangasek: I don't object to what doko wants to do, but I haven't reviewed the change. At least since it's going via proposed, it can't break the archive like it did last time. | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | mvo: it's kind of an intractable horrible thing exacerbated by an ordering problem | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | mvo: the ordering problem means it pops up for libc6; but in between perl-base being configured and libgtk2-perl and its deps being configured, any debconf prompt would fall back to the dialog frontend and result in this symptom | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | how likely that actually is in practice, I'm not sure | 15:37 |
| pitti | mvo: what's the problem with the regexp? it looks correct to me | 15:37 |
| * pitti looks at the bug | 15:37 | |
| mvo | pitti: its fine, but it matches a package that is no longer in 12.04 afaict | 15:38 |
| pitti | mvo: that should always be the case | 15:38 |
| pitti | mvo: the idea is that update-manager does not remove packages like postgresql-8.4 if you upgrade to precise | 15:38 |
| mvo | cjwatson: right, we should consider moving u-m inside the live env in the longer term :/ | 15:38 |
| mvo | pitti: right, so that is not a bug? but instead the user needs to make a decision here? | 15:39 |

| pitti | ScottK: already did several times.. | 15:43 |
| ScottK | Sigh. OK. Thanks. | 15:43 |
| pitti | mvo: hm, I guess in theory we could reintroduce 8.4 to universe and build it against perl 5.14? | 15:47 |
| mvo | pitti: I don't know :) I mean, I don't know enough about this topic to have a vaguely good opinion currently (plus it was a looong day) | 15:48 |
| pitti | mvo: the main point is that we need a co-installable -8.4, but seems the lucid version isn't installable any more in precise due to libperl5.12 and libperl5.14 conflicting | 15:49 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 973717 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Duplicate sources.list entry after upgrade lucid to precise" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/973717 | 18:04 |
| ppisati | cjwatson: pull req sent to the kernel ml - Ubuntu-3.2.0-1412.16 | 18:09 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: seems like something we ought to fix in update-manager | 18:20 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: I guess the pre-requisits source needs to be removed again after dist-upgrade by u-m, since it created it? | 18:20 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: right is that something still doable for P? or should it be release noted? | 18:21 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: seems like it's doable provided we find the time | 18:24 |
| slangasek | tagging rls-p-tracking | 18:25 |
| slangasek | the work to fix that is comparable to the work to write a release note for it, so we should JFDI | 18:25 |
| mvo | slangasek: if you are not on it already I can give it a stab | 18:26 |
| slangasek | mvo: that'd be great, thanks :) | 18:27 |
| slangasek | mvo: there was another bug I had a question for you on yesterday... hmm... I sent you bug mail about it | 18:28 |
| * slangasek tries to remember now | 18:28 | |

| * ogra_ grins seeing the recent debian-arm ML thread ... | 18:30 | |
| mvo | slangasek: thanks, let me have a look | 18:30 |
| slangasek | mvo: I couldn't work out any way in u-m to hint that we want to give priority to holding back certain packages | 18:32 |
| mvo | slangasek: oh, let me look at this | 18:34 |
| mvo | slangasek: but first I need to trigger a test-run of the removal of the backports sources | 18:34 |
| slangasek | ok :) | 18:34 |
| mvo | slangasek: eh, why do we have "release-upgrader-libapt-pkg-dev" now in the preRequists? that does not look quite right | 18:49 |

| slangasek | mvo: you rock | 19:08 |
| slangasek | mvo: you can always just upload, someone will double-check in the queue | 19:09 |
| slangasek | mvo: hmm, "disconnect model and clear store" - I'm pretty sure bdmurray has a bug number for that | 19:10 |
| slangasek | mvo: yep, all looks good to me. No verdict on the skype issue yet? | 19:12 |
| mvo | slangasek: ups, sorry, that slipped my attention while I looked at a pyhton-apt issue | 19:12 |
| slangasek | no worries | 19:12 |
| mvo | slangasek: yeah, we can drop it, I just added it as its so popular | 19:13 |
| slangasek | mvo: is that the best fix here? | 19:13 |
| mvo | slangasek: the best fix is to upgrade skype :) | 19:13 |
| slangasek | but you can't do that until you've upgraded dpkg | 19:13 |
| mvo | slangasek: we *could* add it to the backports if there are no incompatible issues around that | 19:15 |
| * slangasek gibbers softly | 19:16 | |
| slangasek | mvo: we not only would have to add dpkg to backports, we would also have to configure multiarch before calculating the dist-upgrade | 19:17 |
| slangasek | mvo: I don't think this sounds like a winning plan :) | 19:17 |
| mvo | slangasek: well, I think that this is possible and maybe even a good idea, there is some code in u-m for this already that AFAICT is not being used right now but we could enable it | 19:21 |
| mvo | slangasek: we can talk in more detail tomorrow and/or I can create a test branch for it that might be able to even upgrade skype, I can do a test VM and check I guess | 19:22 |
| slangasek | mvo: it still strikes me as a big change to make a week and a half before release; all of our lucid->precise upgrade testing so far has been without multiarch enabled | 19:22 |
| slangasek | mvo: given those options, I would prefer to just drop skype from the blacklist | 19:23 |
| slangasek | since the user can just reinstall it after upgrade | 19:23 |

| slangasek | yes please | 19:58 |
| slangasek | barry: why "packaging information" rather than the original "package information"? | 19:59 |

| slangasek | Looks ok to me. You're happy with the wording otherwise? | 20:00 |

| infinity | slangasek: Probably doesn't need to keep cluttering up #is | 20:40 |

| infinity | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 20:40 |
| infinity | slangasek: ^-- It's definitely the '-' versus not. | 20:40 |
| infinity | slangasek: Maybe su doesn't actually invoke login, but rather tries to mimic it, thus parsing login.defs and being silly about it? | 20:41 |
| slangasek | maybe, yes | 20:41 |
| infinity | slangasek: Cause, yeah, a console login is fine. | 20:41 |
| infinity | slangasek: That said, if we're shipping a default in /etc/environment, shouldn't login.defs match anyway? | 20:41 |
| slangasek | wouldn't that be something? | 20:42 |
| * infinity smirks. | 20:42 | |
| slangasek | so there seem to be four different sources for path - two in /etc/login.defs, one in /etc/sudoers, one in /etc/environment :P | 20:42 |
| infinity | slangasek: Yeahp, and all but one of those match. | 20:43 |
| infinity | slangasek: So, fixing the fourth would be reasonable, methinks. | 20:43 |
| infinity | Well, I guess neither one in login.defs matches, cause it thinks root shouldn't play games. | 20:44 |
| infinity | But we should probably just make both match the Ubuntu worldview. | 20:45 |
| slangasek | no, root not playing games is certainly by desin | 20:46 |
| slangasek | design | 20:46 |
| slangasek | likewise for sudoers' secure_path | 20:47 |
| infinity | slangasek: Okay, so we just want to update the non-su path in login.defs to match the one in /etc/environment. | 20:48 |
| infinity | slangasek: And then we have two user paths and two su paths, both matching. | 20:48 |
| slangasek | for a first pass, yes | 20:48 |
| infinity | Do we consider this RC? | 20:48 |
| slangasek | long-term, we should fix whatever's keeping su - from using /etc/environment | 20:48 |
| slangasek | no | 20:48 |
| infinity | Alright, so we just get elmo to puppetise that change for all his login.defs? ;) | 20:49 |
| slangasek | not unless it's new since oneiric? | 20:49 |
| slangasek | yeah | 20:49 |
| infinity | It's new since something older. No idea which older. | 20:49 |
| infinity | New since lucid would still be a problem, I'd say. | 20:49 |
| infinity | LTS->LTS and all. | 20:49 |
| slangasek | that's worth pinning down | 20:49 |
| slangasek | yes, which would make it important for .1 | 20:49 |
