ev  when one does not already exist. I've asked pitti to review my plans.15:08

ubottuLaunchpad bug 974054 in isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Oneiric) "dhcpd attempts to use /var/run/dhcpd.pid, AppArmor errors" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97405415:28
cjwatsonwe want to somehow figure out how to identify the actual package at fault15:28
stokachustgraber: cool thanks15:28
cjwatsonthe problem is that due to aforementioned package manager bugs the dpkg terminal log is empty15:29
slangasekheh, yes15:29
slangasekcan we just sunset those buggy versions of the package manager?  or SRU?15:29
cjwatsonI'm kind of at the point where I'd say that if the terminal log is that useless (only started/ended entries) and there's nothing else of much use, we should just unreportable the bug15:29
slangasekthat particular bug was reported against Ubuntu 10.1015:29
xnoxstokachu: the netcf / libvirt bugs affect me. Anything needed there in particular?15:29
slangasekcjwatson: maybe it would be better to intercept and report it against the package manager itself, so we know if there are problems with log breakage?15:30
cjwatsonquite possibly15:30
stokachuxnox: someone recently created a ppa for lucid so probably needs some testing15:30
cjwatsonbug 680328 is the one I remember15:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 680328 in qapt (Ubuntu Maverick) "Many postinst scripts fail using either PackageKit, or QApt" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68032815:30
cjwatsonwe never did get round to SRUing that to maverick, and can't now15:30
stokachuxnox: i know serge is swamped but this bug is a high visibility one15:30
slangasekbdmurray: ^^ do you want to take the action to get package install reports with broken logs reported against the package manager?15:30
bdmurrayand we might be able to find out which package manager from the history log file - if it has data15:31
cjwatsonso we could just bin any such bugs from 10.10; >=11.04 would be something different15:31
bdmurrayslangasek: yes15:31

slangasekbdmurray: thanks15:31
bdmurrayregarding the bug in question - is it possible to try and install nvidia on live media anymore?15:32
slangasekstgraber: 974054> thanks for taking15:33
slangasekbdmurray: is that meant to be blocked?15:33
slangasekI guess you'd get inconsistent results with nvidia installed in the live env, since you can't update the initramfs15:34
slangasekand would therefore get the drm driver loaded at next boot for plymouth15:34
stgraberslangasek: it's roughly the same fix I uploaded to quantal and precise, just didn't think oneiric was also affected.15:34
bdmurrayslangasek: I believe so, I'll go back and look again15:34
slangasekcjwatson, ev, stgraber: any of you recall if we're blocking nvidia driver installation in the live env?15:34
evnot offhand15:35
cjwatsonwell, there's no way to stop you *trying* to apt-get install it; I don't recall what happens though ...15:35
bdmurrayThat's what I remember and email thread on ubuntu-devel with pitti and bryce talking about it15:35
slangasekwell, I guess we don't want the GUI to facilitate this bit of foot shooting :)15:35
* xnox as a user, jockey didn't run & didn't offer to install those in the livecd. Only on installed system. But yeah people follow 'guides' and 'tutorials' and install it byhand.15:36
slangasekbdmurray: I guess maybe it's worth you following up with them then, since no one here knows for sure15:36
slangasekbdmurray: did you have more bugs?  Let's look at the two stokachu mentioned and then we can circle around to any more you have for us15:36
bdmurrayhttp://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Installing-drivers-on-USB-sticks-td727548.html15:36
stokachuwho is the goto person for nfs?15:36
bdmurrayslangasek: okay15:36
* xnox slowly hides from stokachu15:37
slangasekstokachu: I generally tend to the client side; bryce happens to look after the server side with a community hat on; but xnox can be your point of contact for nfs going forward ;)15:37
ogra_stokachu, a hybrid between xnox (filesystems) and stgraber (networking) .... "xngraber"15:37
stokachusweet :D15:38
stokachunothing atm but im working an autofs case i may speak to one of you about15:38
xnoxwhat is the question about nfs?15:38
slangasekwhimper, autofs15:38
slangasekwe still have shutdown ordering bugs in that package, unless something's changed recently15:38
stokachuyes... 1500+ mounts all hanging on autofs reload15:38
slangaseklovely15:39
ogra_ugh15:39
slangasekyeah, that's one to discuss out of band :)15:39
stokachuexactlyyy15:39
cjwatsonspeaking of autofs, does anyone fancy merging our autofs5 changes into the new autofs source package in Debian?15:39
cjwatson(well, "new", it used to be in lucid before the rename to autofs5, but it looks like now it's been renamed back15:39
cjwatson)15:39

slangasekit looks like it needs fixed in quantal first though, according to the bug state?15:43

slangasekyes15:50
slangasekthe common denominator seems to be aptd15:50
slangasekbut it doesn't make sense why the dpkg lock doesn't get in the way first15:51
slangasekanyone have any theories how this could happen?15:52
slangasekif not, I can follow up with bdmurray to try to formulate a plan of attack for debugging15:52
cjwatsonIs the dpkg lock applied before preconfiguration?15:53
slangasekah, of course it wouldn't be15:53
cjwatsonhaha15:53
cjwatsonhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=46935415:53
slangasekand apt only checks the dpkg lock, it doesn't set one of its own?15:53
ubottuDebian bug 469354 in debconf "debconf: dpkg-reconfigure should acquire dpkg lock" [Normal,Open]15:53
slangasekbdmurray: woo, triaged ;)15:53
cjwatsonbut when I looked at the recent process tree, I didn't see any other apt/dpkg/debconf-like processes15:54
xnoxin apt there is a window of oportunity when no apt/dpkg lock exist, as a user found out, between the two resolution loops you can e.g. start synaptic and create a deadlock.15:54
xnoxnot sure if it's the same.15:54
slangasekcjwatson: which ones were you looking at?15:54
cjwatsonone package management process does not a lock collision make?15:54
* xnox this maybe old info15:54
slangasekcjwatson: the process trees are being provided by the users after hitting the bug15:54
cjwatsonxnox: simply starting synaptic wouldn't take the debconf lock15:54
slangasekso the collided process has exited non-zero by that point15:55
cjwatsonah15:55
xnoxcjwatson: true, you need to launch a synaptic action for example.15:55
cjwatsonxnox: which would take the apt lock15:55
cjwatsonmodulo that debconf bug15:55
cjwatsonStill, all that would do is move the lock collision somewhere else15:55
cjwatsonIt would probably still show up15:55
* xnox will try to reproduce my old deadlock, didn't see it happen in a while15:55
cjwatsonThis isn't a deadlock, it's just a failure to acquire the lock15:56
xnoxok.15:57
slangasekfollowed up to the bug15:59
slangasekcjwatson, bdmurray: thanks, nice to have a prospect finally of fixing that one15:59
cjwatsonheh, snap15:59
cjwatsonexcept you linked to the Ubuntu bug with the same number15:59
slangasekheh, sorry15:59
slangasekI typed 'Debian' in my head16:00

slangasekso now you have it mentioned somewhere logged ;)16:01
slangasekI'll send email along soon-ish with the exact plans for the hours we'll be working... but it should be less of a shift for everyone compared with the last sprint we did, because we'll run two groups with 4-hour overlap instead of moving everyone to the dead center16:02

evit's just C, it won't bite16:03
slangasekev: why use c99 instead of $(CC)?16:03
evslangasek: $(CC) with the c99 option?16:03
slangasekif you need to16:04
cjwatsonYeah, you should always use $(CC) for x-compiling support16:04
evI do16:04
slangasekthen yeah, especially now that there's a lib, $(CC) would be a good idea16:04
evneed to use c99 features, that is16:04
cjwatson(not that whoopsie wouldn't need more work for that)16:04
slangasekdo you actually have to invoke gcc with -std=c99 to make use of c99 features?16:04

cjwatsonwe don't care about that for the rest of the distro ;-)16:05
slangasekright :)16:05
