BenCstgraber: how do I check the test results?00:25
stgraberBenC: no idea, in my case the build died right after the failure. If you actually get debuild to succeed, then it didn't fail for you00:33
BenCstgraber: it failed in the tests, but I'm trying to find the output of those failures and it isn't very easy00:35

bretthwhat's the best way from python for my script to know that it is running in Ubuntu with Unity?02:19
bretth(my script needs to support multiple desktops, Gnome3, Cinnamon, etc)02:20
bretthi was thinking that "try: import appindicator" is one way, but kind of looks like a hack.02:21
TheMusobretth: I believe jockey does something similar to check environment. Check the jockey source package from Ubuntu, quantal should do, but precise would be a better option, as jockey has changed somewhat so far as I understand things...02:29
TheMusobretth: Jockey also has multiple frontends for GTK and KDE.02:29

bretthTheMuso, thanks, another question, how long will Ubuntu support pygtk (gtk2)? is it safe to write my app using pygtk?02:32
TheMusobretth: If you are supporting precise or later, I strongly suggest you use Gtk2 via GObject introspection.02:52
TheMusoOr even better, use GTK3.02:52
bretthi need to also support Ubuntu 10.1002:52
TheMusoPygtk2 is not supported upstream really, so far as I know, if anything, they want it gone.02:52
TheMusoAh ok, then I think pygtk2 is your best bet then.02:53
micahgbretth: Ubuntu 10.10 is no longer supported, why would you want to support it?02:53
bretthmicahg, its not my decision02:53
micahgbretth: 10.04 is supported on the desktop for another 9 months02:54
bretth10.04 is Unity?02:54
micahgbretth: no, it's pre unity, but even in precise, you don't have to use Unity, there are many other desktop environments02:55
bretthmicahg, seems that must use Unity for appindicator.02:56
JontheEchidnagnome2 had indicator-applet, iirc02:56
infinityAnd indicators are used in other DEs as well.02:56
micahgbretth: no, I don't think that's true, there are indicators in xubntu02:56
infinityThey're there by default on Xubuntu.02:56
micahg*Xubuntu02:56
infinityKubuntu may also do something with them, but I don't remember.02:57

cjwatsonthe exit code may be unrelated to the noise from debconf, since none of that noise ought to be fatal08:47
cjwatson128 is an unlikely exit code for a debconf-related problem; but you can try with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer to establish that more certainly08:47
cjwatsonI think that noise basically means that the user disconnected from debconf, maybe by closing a dialog box or something08:48
rbasakThanks. I'd left the bug there because I wondered if anyone else knew what was going on08:50
jamespagerbasak, I found another 128 code with bacula with similar symptoms hence my question - cjwatson - OK I'll get the reported to try that then08:51

jamespagecjwatson, does exit code 128 have any specific meaning?08:51
jamespage(and where would I look for that sort of thing)08:51
cjwatsonThere's no single place you can look.  Exit codes are very application-specific.08:53

* ogra_ doesnt get that, if checkbox works standalone without hwdb-client installed, where should be file overlaps ? 13:47
cjwatsonsigh13:47
cjwatsonyou know what replaces: is for, right?13:47
ogra_yes13:47
cjwatsonamong other things, it's for when a package ships a file previously shipped by another package13:47

ogra_yes13:47
cr3cjwatson: I just checked the packages in the archive and there are no overlaps with any files in checkbox13:47
ogra_roadmr, thats old stuff13:47
cjwatsonif checkbox had shipped a file that hwdb-client previously shipped, then it ought to have had a Replaces header, despite hwtest coming in between13:48
ogra_cjwatson, i still dont get how that would be relevant for the removal of hwdb-client13:48
cr3ogra_: it might've been possible that both hwdb-client and checkbox installed /usr/bin/foo, for example. I think that's what we're looking for13:48
cjwatsonit's not particularly, it's just that sometimes people think that removing the old package is good enough in such cases, and it isn't13:48
roadmroh, foo13:48
cjwatsonI was checking that due diligence had been done13:48
ogra_ah, ok13:48
cr3cjwatson: hwtest, that followed hwdb-client, had a Replaces header13:48

cjwatsonunderstood but not relevant :)13:49
hggdhcjwatson: were you talking (when you said the ubiquity syslog was useless) about the 'not copying..." etc?13:49
cjwatsonin general we cannot assume that users have traced through every step in our package renamings13:49
cjwatsonanyway, this is moot, because hwdb-client was gone in intrepid and you've said that there are no file overlaps13:49
cjwatsonhggdh: in the URL I gave, it's not even a ubiquity syslog.  it stops at the end of casper.13:49

seb128if you want a stacktrace15:49
jonoI will see if this is still happening15:50
jonoseb128, if you open LO and edit a presentation, does the bug occur for you?15:50
seb128jono, wb, do you think I'm crazy enough to run quantal yet? :p15:57
jonoseb128, are you serious? lol15:58
jonoseb128, I thought you would need to be running it15:58
jono:-)15:58
seb128jono, I'm part of the LTS .1 team in fact so for once I'm staying on stable for some time ;-)15:58
didrocksjono: I see no crash in that case. However, the top unity panel becomes transparent, which is an interesting case on itself :)15:59
didrockswhen you double click to select something15:59
didrockswell, not everytime15:59
didrocksbut common enough15:59
seb128jono, it would help to get a stacktrace of the issue, do you know how to do that?15:59
jonoseb128, nope15:59
jonoI just rebooted and I can't reproduce16:00
seb128hum, k16:00
jonomaybe this was fixed in an update16:00

didrockswell, there is transparent panel to get fixed :)16:00

jonoit just happened16:00
jonohow do I get a trace seb128?16:00
seb128didrocks, why do you hate the bling? ;-)16:00
didrocksjono: if you get something similar, try to hover the panel16:00
didrockssee if it's a crash16:00
didrocksor something like I experience16:01
didrocksseb128: well, I think we just created the <blink /> tag in unity :)16:01
seb128jono, apport is still not logging any compiz file in /var/crash even after reboot?16:01
jonodidrocks, I see Unity seemingly restart and LAuncher vanishes and then returns16:01
jonoseb128, nope16:01
didrocksjono: so maybe it's the same bug, it's not crashing, it's just blinking16:01
didrocksthat's why you don't get a crash file :)16:01
seb128jono, basically, go to a vt, sudo gdb -p $(pidof compiz), on the compiz prompt:16:02
seb128set logging on16:02
seb128c16:02
didrockstsss16:02
seb128return to your session16:02
seb128get the bug16:02
didrocksunity --advanced-debug in a vt16:02
didrockswhy do I work for otherwise? :)16:02
seb128jono, ^ what didrocks says16:02
seb128didrocks, does that log into a file?16:03
seb128didrocks, or do you need to add --log?16:03
didrocksseb128: I'm looking, I have a fish memory on what I did :)16:04
seb128jono, key point is to run those commands from a vt or another session since when compiz will segfault you will not be able to access your session to go to gdb if you run it there16:04
jonohmm switching VTs seems to restart compiz too16:04
jonook I ran --advanced-debug in a bt16:04

seb128jono, good, get the bug now ;-)16:05
jonoso just trigger it?16:05

seb128that will freeze your xorg session16:05
seb128got to the vt16:05
seb128type "bt"16:05
seb128and quit gdb16:05
seb128that will restore your graphical session16:05
jonook triggered16:06
didrocksyeah, it should log16:06
jonobt says "no stack"16:06
didrocksyeah, so I'm sure you have the same thing than I have16:06
didrocksnot a crash16:06
didrocksjust the launcher/panel blinking16:06
seb128oh16:07
jonoahhh gotcha16:07
jonoseb128, you should upgrade to see it ;-)16:07
didrocksjono: want to open a bug or me to do it?16:07
jonodidrocks, would you as you can probably add more detail16:07
jonoall I can say is that it blinks16:07
didrocksjono: sure16:07
jonoI will add the details of LO triggering it though16:07
jonothanks didrocks!16:07
seb128jono, I will put quantal on my netbook, I want to play with the system compositor stuff from robert_ancell anyway ;-)16:08
jonothanks for the help seb12816:08
didrocksjono: I will write it in French to punish the upstream team :)16:08

cr3if I have a package which contained a directory with files that was now changed to a symlink, it looks like upgrading the package is keeping the directory which is now empty :(19:06
dobeycr3: i think you need to add a Breaks/Replaces, to fix that19:11
cr3dobey: interesting, thanks!19:12
dobeyswitching files between dir/file/link is hard. i /think/ breaks/replaces of the older version will fix it, but not totally sure19:14
cjwatsonno, dpkg will not switch between directory and link no matter what metadata you provide, quite deliberatelt.19:15
cjwatson*deliberately19:15
cjwatsonyou have to remove the old directory in the preinst.  for bonus points, handle rollback correctly.  I think there's an example in one of my packages somewhere - maybe groff or groff-base?19:16
seb128those things are harder than they should be ;-)19:17
seb128or aka "don't do that" ;-)19:17
seb128(that being replacing a symlink with a dir with the same name)19:17

cjwatson2 casper.log may help, if you can extract it23:21
cjwatsonand perhaps extract your initrd and the stock one and diff -ru them23:21
cjwatsonmake sure you can explain all the differences23:21
alazare619_also for some reason it wont boot straight to the live23:23
alazare619_i have to enter in the ubuntu user name without a password23:23
alazare619_any idea on that?23:23
cjwatsonnot without logs :)23:24
cjwatsonbut that stuff is configured by casper in the initrd, so perhaps caused by the same underlying mis-setup as 223:25
alazare619_ok well i have each step all documented i did23:26
alazare619_theres not really any logs i did it all via debootstrap23:26
alazare619_then cp over the resolv  conf23:27
alazare619_chrooted in ran all the installs23:27
alazare619_exited after removing resolv.conf and the tmp folder23:27
cjwatsoncasper always writes a log as it boots23:28
cjwatsonSounds like you haven't set up a proper live-capable initramfs; it's necessary to install casper and run update-initramfs in the chroot to generate one23:28
cjwatsonAlthough much easier to do it via livecd-rootfs + live-build23:28
cjwatson(Or even just live-build on its own)23:29
alazare619_cjwatson,  i keep having an issue with livecd-rootfs23:31
alazare619_basically it just keeps failing to build the chroot23:31
alazare619_without any modification it fails23:31
alazare619_it trys to gzip intrid23:31
alazare619_ok so i have to update-initramfs after casper and lupin-casper are installed?23:33
cjwatsonI can probably help with livecd-rootfs, but only if you give me a full transcript of exactly what you're doing and the exact text of the error messages23:33
cjwatsonI cannot help given only paraphrased summaries23:33
cjwatsonI would rather help with livecd-rootfs than help with doing all the same kinds of things by hand23:34
cjwatsonThe latter will get very tedious very quickly23:34

cjwatsonYou can always use live-build directly; it doesn't have any seed-specific logic in it23:39
alazare619_live build fails on 12.0423:39
cjwatsonI don't believe that, as we built 12.04 images using live-build on 12.0423:39
cjwatsonlive-build *with your configuration* fails on 12.04 :-)23:39
alazare619_do you have a auto config build clean setup that i can use with a custom package list?23:40
cjwatsonThat's kind of what livecd-rootfs is23:40
cjwatsonYou can copy it and hack it if you like23:40
alazare619_well i dont understand there "seed" files23:41
alazare619_there not packagelists23:41
cjwatsonYou don't need to23:41
cjwatsonThe only stuff that pulls in Ubuntu seeds there (at least ignoring the preinstalled-pool stuff which is basically only used on ARM) is the stuff that calls add_task23:41
cjwatsonSo just make that be add_package instead23:41
cjwatsonAnd disregard anything that refers to PREINSTALLED or similar23:42
cjwatsonadd_package builds up a package-list for live-build23:42
cjwatsonIf the first argument to it is install, it adds to the set of packages that are installed in the livefs and will be copied to the target system; if the first argument is live, it adds to the set of packages that are installed in the livefs but will be removed from the target system23:43
