slangasekmind you, I don't see what's *caused* that broken symlink... but I don't see anything multiarch-related here00:00
anderskYeah, it’s only multiarch-related in that it causes multiply-installed multiarch packages to fail to reinstall.00:01
slangasekandersk: that's a mis-migration in the fuse-utils binary package00:02
slangasek$ dpkg -c /mirror/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse-utils_2.9.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb |grep changelog00:02

dupondjeWhat is the reason some packages are more recent in Precise then in Qunatal? For example bind900:21
RAOFdupondje: Because people have been naughty, it seems.00:24

infinitymicahg: My poor beer. :(04:22
infinitymicahg: On a more positive note, if the test build ever finishes, I suspect I have mono/armel licked.04:22

infinitySo, after our panic to fix dpkg, has anyone run into problems with -3ubuntu2?04:32
* pitti must admit he never noticed any trouble with dpkg04:34
infinitypitti: Then you didn't have multi-arch:same packages installed when you upgraded to -3ubuntu104:35
infinityOr, rather, not ones with triggers.04:35
infinitySo, desktop ones like libgtk.04:35
pitti$ dpkg -l *:i386 | wc -l04:36
pitti7804:36
pittinot GTK, though04:36
infinityYeah.  Was an issue specifically with packages with triggers.04:36
infinityHence why I didn't catch it pre-upload.  Didn't test on a fully-loaded m-a/desktop mess.04:37
infinityOh well.04:37
infinitySort of "fixed" now in the most recent version, but we need to revisit it later with different shaped hammers.04:37

pitticjwatson, ev: wrt adt-ubiquity again, I think there's a bug in autopkgtest; ubiquity does not specify "no-build-needed", so it shoudl buidl the package and therefore install all its build deps (which include python3-mock)06:04
pittijibel: ^ FYI06:04

jibelpitti, I think so. without this option build-deps are installed and python3-mock is listed there.06:10

cjwatsonpitti: I think that autopkgtest behaviour is deliberate and sensible.  The tree has been built, but that doesn't mean that the tests are run in the same chroot that built it.  They really shouldn't assume that they do, since what they're trying to do is test the as-installed environment, which won't include build-dependencies.07:59
* pitti is a bit lost with his brand new panda board; I wrote the daily-preinstalled to an USB stick, connected the board to a HDMI monitor, switch on, nothing happens at all except the green LED turning on08:00
cjwatsonpitti: I'll fix that ubiquity control file bug, thanks.08:00
pittihttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapNetbook and http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ARM/PreinstalledImage don't give additional info either08:00
cjwatsonpitti: Oh, no, you're right, I see now that it isn't trying to build the package, so yes that's a bug.  I think my point stands as well though08:01
pitticjwatson: hm, I don't see a build in https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/AutoPkg%20Test/job/quantal-adt-ubiquity/37/ARCH=amd64,label=albali/artifact/results/log08:01
pitticjwatson: right, that's why I left the ubiquity task open08:02
cjwatsonpitti: @ means "all the binaries built by this source", per the spec08:02
pitticjwatson: but nevertheless in that case it ought to have been built08:02

cjwatsonYeah08:02
cjwatsonIt is08:02
pitticjwatson: @> thanks08:02
pittiogra_: do you know if there is any chance to set up a panda board without an SD card? I only have 1 GB cards available, but an 8 GB usb stick with the current preinstalled image08:27
pittiogasawara: but I don't see anything at all on hdmi and the serial port08:28
pittierr, ogra_ ^08:28
pittiogasawara: ignore me08:28
ogra_pitti, just use netinst, there are SD images08:28
pittiogra_: uboot is the thing that talks to the serial port, isn't it?08:29
ogra_that gives you a normal alternate install08:29
ogra_well, MLO (first stage bootloader) initialize the serial port, then it loads uboot-bin08:29
pittiI had expected this to run from some internal flash; but it seems not even that is there08:29
ogra_nope,  to costly08:29
pittiI also followed http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Pre-built_Binaries_Guide, but no luck08:30
ogra_if you find something internal nowadays, its an eMMC08:30
pittiall documentation I can find is for sd cards08:30
pittiogra_: i. e. the serial port is by and large useless, I just need a big enough SD card and then I don't need to worry about the serial port?08:30
ogra_the serial port is disabled in the desktop images ... you will only see the first few bootloader messages, else it behaves identically to an x86 images08:31
ogra_the server images do everything on serial though ...08:32
ogra_so if you got display probs, start with a server image08:32
ogra_if you want to do a real alternate install use the netboot images08:32
ogra_that enables you also to have / on USB08:32
ogra_(which is tons faster than SD, but you need the SD card as "bootfloppy" still)08:33
pittiogra_: http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/quantal/main/installer-armel/current/images/ -> no omap4?08:33
ogra_http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/quantal/main/installer-armhf/current/images/omap4/netboot/boot.img-serial.gz08:33
pittinevermind, armhf08:34
ogra_right, armel is semi dead08:34
pittiogra_: thanks; with that image I at least see d-i in minicom08:39
pittistill no hdmi, though08:39
pittithe monitor doesn't even recognize that there's somethign attached to the cable08:39
* ogra_ would recommend using screen for serial 08:39
ogra_try the dvi port instead08:39
pittiwould that be boot.img-fb.gz ?08:40
pittior sohudl it also work with -serial?08:40
ogra_thats a quantal image ? we had some display issues and are waiting for a new codedrop from TI, if you cant get it to work, downgrade to the precise kernel package08:40
ogra_the fb image defaults to framebuffer output, yep08:40

Laneylet me know if you get DVI working08:43
Laneywe talked about this a bit yesterday, seems nobody did08:43
ogra_well, try with a precise kernel then08:43
LaneyI was trying the precise desktop image08:44
ogra_hmm, that should be flawless unless you have a weird monitor that reports wrong EDID data08:44
Laneymaybe I did something wrong08:44
ogra_there is not much you can do wrong with the preinstalled images08:45
ogra_as long as your power supply is powerful enough andd your monitor isnt reporting insane things you should be fine08:45
Laneylike I connected to the wrong HDMI port or something08:46
ogra_if your monitor *does* report insane things though, you can boot with it unplugged08:46
ogra_and plug it in after boot, that will give you at least 800x600 (fallback mode)08:46
Laneycheers, i'll try it later08:47
pittiogra_: thanks for the hand holding! precise's -fb image works fine08:48
ogra_yay, good08:48
pittiogra_: so I guess I'll buy a large SD card on Saturday and try again next week08:48
ogra_k08:48
ogra_note that we will switch to live images in quantal ... that means USB disk is required (ubiquity cant install to its installation media yet)08:49
pittiogra_: that seems like what I want anyway; except that I'll still need the SD card for the initial boot?08:54
ogra_no, for all boots08:56
ogra_it will become your "bootfloppy" since there is no flash and no way to boot off a USB disk directly08:56
pittiogra_: but that will boot from the USB stick, when it's plugged in?08:57
pitti(I mean the uboot part on the SD)08:57
pittiand if the USB stick doesn't have anything or is not present, continue to boot from the SD?08:58
ogra_right, but you need both, SD card and USB disk/card08:58
pittiyes, understood (that's what I meant with "initial" boot, the uboot part)08:58
ogra_no, it wont boot off the Sd anymore after install08:58
pittiso I guess I can use one of my 1 GB SDs for booting08:58
pittiand just need the large one for the install08:58
ogra_(new cmdline etc, no casper initrd anymore)08:58
ogra_right08:59
ogra_you can just dd the size of the first partition from one SD to another08:59
pitticjwatson: ubiquity failed again, FYI; now needing python3-six :/09:57
cjwatsonpitti: Yes, that's the autopkgtest bug, I think09:58
cjwatsonpitti: ubiquity already depends on python3-six, so this shouldn't be needed in debian/tests/control09:59
pittiah, so that's not actually the bug I meant09:59
cjwatsonOh09:59
pittiI meant that it does not attempt to build the package although it should09:59
cjwatsonWouldn't it be fixed by building and installing the binaries?09:59
pittiso you mean that it does not actually install the @ Depends:?09:59
cjwatsonApparently not09:59
cjwatsonBut perhaps that's simply because it didn't build them10:00
cjwatsonIt wouldn't surprise me to find that that was just a consequence10:00
pittithat would certainly hide the other bug, yes10:00
pittibut even if it installed ubiquity's build dependencies it would just mean it would test ubiquity from the built tree10:01
pittiinstead of the system-installed bits from the ubiquity package10:01
pittiit should install the latter and test that, not the build tree10:01
cjwatsonNo, I mean that @ is "all the stuff I just built"10:01
pittiwhich is what the @ Depends: is supposed to do10:01
cjwatsonAnd if it didn't build anything it would be null10:01
pittioh, you mean it computes @ from teh list of built .debs, not from debian/control?10:02
cjwatsonWhich would have the effect of transitively losing python3-six10:02
cjwatsonI'm not sure; it seems plausible though10:02
pittithat's again wrong, it needs to look at debian/control10:02
pittias we have a lot of packages with no-build-needed10:02
pitti(as we just need the test suite from the source, nothing else)10:02
pittijibel: ^ perhaps we should drop --no-built-binaries for now until these bugs are sorted out10:04
jibelpitti, sure, I'll revert the change.10:05

mvocjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1050714/ <- somehting like this maybe?11:30
xnoxautofs has changed the # of times it forks, which results in upstart tracking wrong pid. The actual number of forks is now probably 4, instead of previous 1. But i'm not too sure, because depending on which auto.foo scripts are enabled there can be more forks.11:30
xnoxI have changed autofs to run in the foreground mode instead, and let upstart connect conlose log to it into /var/upstart/autofs.log11:31
xnoxbut this means that automount messages no longer appear in syslog11:31
xnoxi'm thinking to add descriptive changelog & NEWS entry w.r.t to this change11:31
xnoxor is this issue serious enough to hunt down where/why autofs has changed its work behaviour11:32
xnoxDaviey: slangasek: jodh: cjwatson: ^^^^^11:33
cjwatsonmvo: Seems plausible, though I haven't looked in detail; if that works, do you think we could SRU that to lucid and precise, for LP's benefit?  (A bit out of the ordinary for an SRU, but we've done it before for apt-ftparchive.)11:35
mvocjwatson: yes, I think that could be done11:36
cjwatsonAn hour of cocoplum time isn't to be sniffed at11:36
cjwatsonActually 1.5 hours11:36
cjwatsonxnox: I think it's at least worth understanding what the extra forks are, to start with11:36
xnoxcjwatson: ok. let me digg a bit further.11:37
xnoxit's clones, not forks, but still...11:41
cjwatsonMeh, much the same thing11:42
Davieyxnox: not having autofs logging at all is bit of a pain, but based on both issues, is the better of two.  Ideally, still logging the output somewhere would make me a happy bunny.. but i supposed you have explored that?11:50
Davieyxnox: i haven't checked, but i guess there is no --foreground --log= , similar option?11:51
xnoxDaviey: /var/log/syslog -> /var/log/upstart/autofs.log for automount messages11:52
xnoxDaviey: upstart by default now attaches console, e.g. stdout/stderr and flushes them into /var/log/upstart/$job.log11:52
xnoxfor free11:52
xnoxDaviey: so instead of doing logcheck/logwatch/ manual troubleshooting from /var/log/syslog it now needs to be done from /var/log/upstart.....11:53
xnox/var/log/upstart/$job.log that is11:53
xnoxcjwatson: Daviey: there is a new function called check_nfs_mount_version, which calls fork, and possibly spawns shells when executing /etc/mount.[net|nfs] et all11:55
xnox(not sure if additional spawning counts as forks/clones or not)11:55
* xnox goes to read git log11:55
Davieyxnox: Providing it's documented, and as more log data seems to be going into upstart, it seems reasonable to JFDI...  I do wonder if upstart might be able to log job output to syslog.. jodh ? :)12:04
xnoxDaviey: spamming syslog, is not inline with upstart's goals. although it does bring the question of syslogd pushing logs to remote machines....12:05

cjwatsonOr you could use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' to reconfigure that file interactively13:38
melodie_the first live I did has azerty in X but qwerty in tty's13:38
cjwatsonOh, that sounds like just a bug13:38
cjwatsonThey're supposed to always be in sync13:38
vibhavyup13:38
melodie_I can't file it, I would not know how to do that13:39
cjwatsonUnfortunately probably something painfully arcane in console-setup13:39
* vibhav wonders what package it could be13:39
cjwatsonvibhav: As I just said, console-setup13:39
melodie_I have used a set of scripts having for name "ModCustom", which appears to work, whereas UCK failed without any clear clue in the build.log13:39
melodie_it failed several times in a row... :/13:40
cjwatsonI bet running 'sudo setupcon' in a TTY switches TTY configuration to match X13:40
cjwatsonBut that would have to be done on each boot - a permanent fix requires figuring out how to fix the bug13:40
melodie_cjwatson: even in a chroot ?13:40
cjwatsonchroot -> irrelevant13:40
cjwatsonSo this means that you can't actually select a different layout in VCs right now13:41
melodie_I am working in a chrooted console, because I am now modifying the content of the build directory13:41
cjwatsonBecause the very problem here is that the existing configuration is not being applied at boot13:41
cjwatsonYou can't fix this by messing around with configuration files13:41
melodie_cjwatson: this is why it's ok to edit files13:41
cjwatsonIt's not *useful* to edit files here13:41
melodie_?13:41
cjwatsonThe configuration for your system almost certainly already says that the layout is azerty13:41
smosercjwatson, bug 1015567, and /var/lib/dpkg.tar.gz  is in transit to launchpad (13M upload)13:41

cjwatsonBut it's not being applied correctly at boot13:42
melodie_cjwatson: no the files says "us"13:42
melodie_I mean13:42
melodie_this file13:42
cjwatsonOh, very odd that X has a French keymap then13:42
melodie_the one you said13:42
cjwatsonIt's supposed to pick that up from /etc/default/keyboard13:42
cjwatsonSo the default for French in /etc/default/keyboard is usually meant to be XKBLAYOUT="fr" and XKBVARIANT="oss"13:43
cjwatsonI guess a naive remixing tool might have done something at some higher level13:43
melodie_cjwatson: did you mean naive or native ?13:45
cjwatsonI meant naive13:45
cjwatsonor naĂ¯ve if you like13:45
melodie_I would like to say a very good point for this ModCustom set of scripts : easy to use and a great fantastic feature : it can resume a work which has been interrupted !13:46
melodie_it can even allow the person doing the remix job to reuse a work directory to add modifications. And this is fantastic !13:47
melodie_it spares quite some work.13:47
melodie_cjwatson: and thank you very much.13:50
cjwatsonnp, hope I wasn't too confusing13:50
melodie_really straightforward. :)13:51
melodie_one more for the road ! (hips ! :p ) : where are located the files where the changes on the Unity panel launcher are stored ?13:51
melodie_this is really bugging my curiosity, I didn't find any info on the web about it : is it related to gconf ? or else ?13:52
stgrabermelodie_: IIRC it's a gsettings/dconf key13:54
stgrabermelodie_: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites13:54
melodie_stgraber: ah ha ! I have looked into dconf and was not able to guess which section it is related to13:54
melodie_and gsettings has a set of commands I suppose ? Is there a documentation describing the use of this command tool ?13:55
stgraberman gsettings and calling gsettings without any argument will give you the help13:57

seb128ev, 1- is there any ignore list in whoopsie? like a "those bugs are known, they are harmless, we should stop bothering users about them"14:06
seb128ev, I've a case of harmfless bug that is going to be hard to fix in precise, I would like users to stop getting "oops" dialogs about it, that ruins their user experience for no good reason14:07
evseb128: could I have a concrete example? If this is a desktop application, then we always want to show those dialogs, as they tell the user why the window just disappeared on them.14:08

mdeslaurjdstrand: upstream only supports their current driver, which may not work on older cards...15:10

TheMusoinfinity: I thought there were plans to possibly integrate lowlatency into the main kernel package, depending on whether the kernel guys could get rid of other kernels. But since that doesn't appear to be happening yet, yes I'll attend to it in the coming days.22:12
infinityTheMuso: It was still an "in discussion" deal, I believe.  I think we all expected the -lowlatency source to continue to be maintained up until that discussion reached fruition. :)22:13
infinityTheMuso: But hey, you successfully skipped the entire 3.4.x cycle, and get to jump from 3.2 to 3.5!22:13
TheMusoRight22:14
TheMusoI really need to get the studio guys to take t over.22:14

infinityGiven what it is, it should be trivial for them to merge against master every ABI bump.22:15
infinity(Yeah, easier still if it can be integrated, but that requires changing the patch to be a config option, config review, etc, etc)22:15
Bluefoxicyare /var/spool/cron crontabs run by default?22:22
Bluefoxicy0 * * * * root fstrim /22:22
Bluefoxicy0 * * * * root fstrim /home/_vm/22:22
BluefoxicyI have this in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root, but I just manually ran those commands (it's been in there for months) and a LOT got discarded.  Not a lot of activity really goes on on /home/_vm/22:23
BluefoxicyI can only surmise that this wasn't run at midnight last night (there aren't actually any VMs running atm, so there's no activity on that partition)22:23
Bluefoxicytrying to figure out if this is normal behavior (on Precise) or a bug22:24

cjwatsondobey: Please to be evicting python-support from ubuntuone-control-panel again?  We don't want it in main.22:33
Bluefoxicyoh I'm stupid nm.22:35
