niqJust trying to report a bug (missing packaging dependency), but I can't because I can't even guess the launchpad captcha11:50
niqany advice?11:50
niqThe bug is, libnids-dev requires pcap-dev as a dependency11:50
mitya57niq: first, I think you meant "libpcap-dev" instead of "pcap-dev";12:11
mitya57second, both these packages come unchanged from Debian, so it's better to report this bug to bugs.debian.org12:11
xnoxniq: launchpad does not have captcha.12:18
niqxnox: https://login.launchpad.net/ckGDxTf7g9gWHMvs/+new_account has an impossible captcha12:20

mptev, pitti merged part of it I think (I haven't merged trunk to check yet). He disagreed with some of the terminology, and said it was past UI Freeze (even though I proposed for trunk, not for Q).12:44
mpthttps://code.launchpad.net/~mpt/apport/warmer-text/+merge/12184112:44
pittihello mpt12:45
evah excellent12:45
pittiI still don't like to break all translations for strings which do not really change meaning, TBH12:45
pittiand "a bit of a problem" really sounds quite sloppy to me12:46
evpitti: I didn't think it was about changing the meaning? I thought the intent was the make the text warmer12:46
evand more friendly12:46
evsince it's a fairly jarring experience as it is12:46
evlike what Mozilla does with it's "this is embarrassing" text12:47
pittibut perhaps not up to the point of being sneering?12:47
ev"a bit of a problem" comes across as sneering to you?12:48
pittiand I do not consider changing "application" to "app" any helpful, and it just breaks translations, things like that12:48
pittiev: it certainly does, if the crash just ruined an hour's work or so12:48
pittiperhaps that's just me12:48
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
pittiI merged some bits of that MP, for giving some extra advice with hangs, and fixing the string for CLI apps12:49
pittiwhere "closed" really doesn't make sense indeed12:49
evI do see your point, but I think the general approach of making the text more friendly is the right one. So hopefully we can find a sentence that forms the right balance.12:50
pittido you consider the current ones particuarly frightening?12:50
* apw has just updated and has gsetting data conversion implode ... anyone else seen that?12:52
smoserpitti, :-( sorry.12:54
evpitti: I think there's room for improvement, yes. The request itself came from people with much more experience in usability than myself.12:54
xnoxev: "this is embarrasing" is humorous "a bit of a problem" translates very bad into Latvian & Russian. It makes it sound more like "none of my business, your problem"12:54
evpitti: while I have you here, might I ask what the historical reason is for not having ARM retracers?12:54
evwas it lack of space on ddebs?12:54
evxnox: yikes12:55
xnoxev: ddebs should use $ xz -912:55
pittiev: we actually had had some for a while, but since then we just never got around to setting some up12:55
pittiev: the main blocker is that RT ticket to move to a proper postgresql duplicate DB12:55
pittiev: as we cannot share the sqlite one between different hosts12:55
evright12:55
pittiev: i. e. pretty much the same problem that we have between "your" and "my" retracers now12:55
evso apport-retrace should be able to handle ARM just fine12:56
evpitti: speaking of which…12:56
pittiyes, it does12:56
evI was thinking a bit more about it when I wrote the first state of the error tracker email12:56
ogra_do the backends actually work nowadays ?12:56
pittiogra_: backends?12:56
pittithe packaging backend is exactly the same for all arches12:57
smoserpitti, what did "revert your changes to .bzr-builddeb and dropping .bzrignore, and commit the actual fix" mean?12:57
evas a shorter term solution, could we not just have errors.ubuntu.com create bugs and dup the matching apport bug for a given crash signature to them12:57
* ogra_ remembers when NCommander maintained the arm retracers we simply didnt have any 12:57
ogra_pitti, doesnt the retracer need to run the package too ?12:57
pittithere is not much that's platform specific, except perhaps the crash analysis from the disassembl12:57
pittiy12:57
evand then if errors already has a bug but finds one from apport the next time it syncs the duplicate_database.db, it just dups it then12:57
pittismoser: see the diff: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/114069072/apport_2.5.1-0ubuntu3_2.5.1-0ubuntu4.diff.gz12:57
pittismoser: I reverted the .bzr-builddeb/ and .bzrignore changes12:58
pittiogra_: which package?12:58
ogra_pitti, dunno, any arm packages actually12:58
pittiogra_: a retracer by and large needs a checkout of apport trunk, python-launchpadlib, and a good deal of CPU and IO capacity12:58
pittiogra_: sure, but fortunately we have them in an archive? :-)12:58
evI'm suspicious of this as I can't imagine it didn't come up in our previous discussion about uniting the retracers.12:59
smoserpitti, sorry. fwiw, i didn't do that. it must have been a result of 'bzr bd -S'12:59
evcan't imagine why*12:59
pittiev: right, that would work12:59
pittiev: crashdb.py already works like that12:59
evpitti: and you're happy with that for the near term?12:59
pittiev: i. e. if the DB says the master bug is #i, but that has been duped to #k, it updates the DB to #k12:59
evyeah indeed13:00
evI remember reading that when working on the shared duplicate db13:00
evI guess my concerns revolved around it being real time?13:00
pittiev: yes, absolutely; we really should stop having two retracer instances13:00
evwell this would still have two retracer instances13:00
evbut it would let us have bug numbers for the crash signatures that aren't in launchpad yet13:01
eveventually yes, we absolutely should move retracing to one system13:01
evor find some other way of reducing the duplication of work13:01
pittioh, you mean have the LP retracers look at the cassandra DB for master bugs, too, instead of (just) the .sqlite file?13:01
pittiev: ^13:01
evno13:01
evthe lp retracers keep on doing their thing13:01
pittiev: we indeed do not have code for that, but if that's easier than swithcing the errors.u.c. retracers to retracing LP bugs13:02
evwhen errors.ubuntu.com encounters a signature that does not yet have a bug number associated with it13:02
evit creates a bug13:02
mptev, sorry I don't have time to deal with this today. I'll explain to ivanka why it isn't fixed yet, and make another MP next Thursday.13:02
evwhen it later syncs the launchpad duplicates database, any time it finds a crash signature where it already has a bug number it just dups the new bug to what it has already13:03
evso no changes to crash-digger and friends13:03
pittiev: ah, yes, that d' work13:03
evexcellent13:03
evmpt: no worries and cheers13:03
=== henrix is now known as henrix_
pittiev: the LP retracers need to deal with this anyway, as bug triagers also dupe/unify bugs, etc.; I'm fairly sure this works, it also has test cases13:04
pitti(and the LP backend test suite finally works again)13:04
evmpt: maybe she can drive a conversation with you, me and pitti13:04
evif she feels that there's a good argument to be made13:04
evpitti: yeah, it builds on the existing design well, which I very much like :)13:05
evand the real time stuff still happens13:05
pittismoser: presumably you used lp:ubuntu/apport, not the Vcs-Bzr: one? the package importer might have screwed it up13:05
smoserpitti, yes.13:05
pittiev: so yes, that seems like a good first step indeed13:05
evbecause the errors.ubuntu.com bugs exist immediately. So if someone finds an issue via the website, fixes it and notes it in the upload, it doesn't matter if we're only syncing every 15 minutes or so with the apport db13:06
eveventually everything will get sewn together13:06
pittiev: and at some point we shoudl get rid of the LP ones altogether; the errors.u.c. retracers already seem a lot more powerful anyway13:06
=== henrix_ is now known as henrix
evand we still get the nice path of crash signature -> 80 steps -> fixed binary package that we can then show users13:06
evpitti: ja13:06
evwe just rolled out another machine for it13:06
evthough disk space is persistently tight13:06
pittiand the LP ones are still leeching on the porter boxes13:06
evwe were just talking this morning about easing back on the number of i386 retracers we have13:06
evoh this reminds me13:07
evwe don't handle the situation where some sources are invalid in the retracer sources.list well13:07
evwe lost retracing for a while when the oneiric sources that were in the precise sources.list went away13:07
evbecause python-apt considered that fatal or some such nonsense13:07
evI'll file a bug for that now13:09
pittiah, right13:09
pittiev: the LP retracers fail due to that, stop themselves, and send me cron mail13:09
xnox smoser, those files end up in package if the package is using 1.0 format & debuild -S was run in the bzr checkout, instead of using bzr bd -S. Or the original tarball had them =/13:09
pittiev: so I immediately fixed up the configs13:09
evahh13:09
evsurely we can make python-apt do the right thing though13:09
pittiev: that's why I use these lock files, so that we do not continue retracing/untagging/ruining bugs when there is something wrong13:09
evright13:09
pittiev: yeah, one of the gazillion settings in apt.conf might do13:10
evI need to work on feeding failed retraces back through13:10
evlol13:10
pittiev: sorry that I had to kill so many ddebs for older releases, but we keep running out of space on macquarie13:10
evno worries13:10
smoserxnox, i'm certain i didnot run debuild -S. I do recall for some reason that it complained of not havin the upstream tarball and prompting me.13:10
pittiand in doubt I'd rather sacrifice oneiric than the current dev release13:10
smoserwhich i should have just backed out at that point.13:10
evpitti: remind me: do we have an RT for making ddebs less shoestring and gum?13:10
smoseranyway. sorry for the garbage.13:10
xnoxsmoser: hmm... =/ *sigh*13:11
pittiev: there should be an entire spec for that somewhere, hang on13:11
evpitti: I know I'm supposed to make apport-retrace fetch from the publisher, but slangasek was saying we still very much need ddebs.u.c for other stuff13:11
xnoxpitti: ddebs should learn about xz -9 -extreme for space saving? =)13:11
pittiev: I think we actually tried that, but LP apparently is still not ready to grab and put ddebs into the librarian13:11
evahh13:12
ogra_xnox, ddebs should be a binary patch against debs ;)13:12
pittiev: OMG no, as soon as LP gets them, this ddeb-retriever abdomination should die and never come back13:12
evsilly launchpad, always getting in the way of progress13:12
evpitti: maybe mention that to him? :) I'll try to remember to13:12
xnoxogra_: !0_0!13:12
evpitti: elmo didn't seem to be a huge fan of ddebs.u.c either13:12
pittiof course it could still be called ddebs.u.c., but not with my manual mucking of apt-ftparchive and grabbing ddebs from buildd apaches over cron13:12
evhahaha13:13

rbasakI'm going to need linux 3.2.0-30 in precise-updates d-i netboot for maas to deploy highbank correctly. It's got an RTC fix I need, and is in precise-proposed at the moment. What's the policy on bumping d-i in a stable release in order to get a new kernel?16:29
argesinfinity, hello. looking at the lucid fix for pad.lv/979003 right now. first is pad.lv/956051 considered a dup?17:33
argesinfinity, second, stokachu  posted a debdiff for precise that builds, do i need to re-subscribe something to get this on the SRU list?17:34
infinityarges: They're not technically dupes.  One is AVX, the other is FMA4, but the fix for both comes from the same patchset.  What's not clear to me without having the right hardware to test is if the FMA4 bug even applies to lucid.17:35
infinityarges: lucid's glibc might be old enough that it doesn't even care (and therefor care incorrectly) about FMA4, in which case, the simpler AVX-only fix can be backported.17:35
infinityarges: As for precise, there's been a larger and more correct fix from me in the queue for weeks.17:36
infinityarges: (By "in the queue", I mean it's uploaded, just needs review and acceptance into proposed)17:36
argesinfinity, ok. yea for the lucid one, I  proposed the original patch in 979003 that should just disable AVX if we don't detect support in the kernel17:36
infinityarges: See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+queue?queue_state=117:37
infinityarges: Yeah, the simple patch you proposed (the same as the one Debian's using, AFAIK) should do the "right" (rather violently) thing for Intel, I'm unsure about AMD without someone doing some testing.17:37
argesinfinity, ok so need to track down some AMD hardware...17:38
infinityarges: It was definitely incomplete for precise (which is why I went with the much more complete fix), but older versions of glibc are missing half that code to start with. :P17:38
infinityarges: Carlos and I were going to sit down and work on proper 2.13 and 2.11 backports upstream, but I think we kinda burned out after the 2.16 and 2.15 fix-test-release cycle.17:39
infinityarges: To be fair, the "simple" patch may also need some fiddling for some corner cases.  But I *think* it'll just happily break AVX support completely even in cases when it shouldn't, which is marginally better than the other direction (sometimes keeping it on when it shouldn't).17:40
argesinfinity, ok i'll build a test package and see if somebody can verify on AMD/AVX/Lucid17:41
argeswith the first patch17:41
infinityarges: I'm running around between conference rooms right now, but can you make a note to discuss this mor in-depth with me on Tuesday?17:42
infinityarges: I agree that any fix is probably better than no fix at this point, but I also want to make sure it's as sane as we can get it.17:42
argesinfinity, sure will do... are you at plumbers?17:42
infinityarges: Yeah.17:42
argesinfinity, cool. Yea i'll set something up17:42
infinityarges: My gut feeling is that the FMA4 (AMD) bug shouldn't be an issue for lucid at all, cause I think the FMA4 code was introduced in 2.15.  Being able to test that for sure would be nice, though.17:43
infinityarges: So, basically, someone who can reproduce 956051 on precise, but not on lucid, would be a good datapoint.17:44
argesinfinity, so that should just be bulldozer chips and later right?17:44
argesyes17:44
infinityarges: I've not paid attention to codename roadmaps in years, so not sure what a bulldozer is. :P17:44
argesinfinity, i believe its the model that has those extensions... anyway i'll do a bit more digging and set up some time to chat on tuesday17:45
infinityarges: Spiffy, thanks.17:45
infinityarges: And I'll try to coordinate with an SRU/AA member who isn't me to make sure the precise upload actually gets reviewed and accepted, now that precise isn't frozen anymore.17:46
infinityarges: I missed the 12.04.1 window by just enough that we decided to delay it.17:46
