[01:03] I am packaging newlisp to be put into a PPA, and it is version 10.4.4, when I try ucan --report-status it gives me newlisp-wiki and newlisp-ide is newer. I am only packaging newlisp itself [01:04] The download url is http://newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp-(.*)\.tgz [01:04] in the watch file === lifeless_ is now known as lifeless [01:05] i tried to mangle wiki and then it gives that ide is newer, I can't figure out how to use multiple mangle [01:25] never mind figured it out [01:25] ndowens: newlisp-([\d\.]*).tgz? [01:26] Or nevermind, if you got there just now. :P [01:26] heh. yea the \d\ thing worked :) [01:27] \d and \. actually. [01:27] As in "only strings that match a sequence of \d (digits) and/or \. (dot). [01:27] " [01:27] Except \. doesn't mean that within []. === cpg is now known as cpg|away [01:30] Can you point me to where if arch=386 it would use a dependency than x86_64. It needs ffi.h so i386 would use libffi-dev and then x86_64 would use lib64ffi-dev [01:30] ndowens: Erm. What? It should always be libffi-dev. [01:30] [\d] isn't documented in perlrecharclass(1). I think uscan(1) is being naughty in documenting this. [01:30] ah [01:31] I'd write it either [[:digit:].]* or (?:\d|\.)* [01:31] figured there would be a different dep, because there is a libffi-dev package and then lib64ffi-dev [01:31] cjwatson: It's documented in pcrepattern(3) [01:31] ndowens: lib64ffi-dev is only for when building 64-bit programs on i386, which is a rare case. [01:32] cjwatson: Generic character types. [01:32] k. i package newlisp for Fedora, so I have to use conditonals for the diff deps [01:32] infinity: Yes. I think that's cheating since uscan uses actual Perl regexps, though :) [01:33] cjwatson: Oh, I didn't realise it was actually perl. [01:33] Though, I suppose it makes sense that it is. [01:33] What sort of loon would write that in C? [01:33] ndowens: There is a syntax for that (libffi-dev [i386] | lib64ffi-dev [amd64]) but you almost certainly do not want to use it here. [01:34] cjwatson: So, this is a case of the tail wagging the dog, and Perl has become PCRE-compatible? :P [01:34] heh. Seems Perl is used alot for code replacement annd such [01:34] ndowens: As a matter of design we try to avoid using different library paths or package names for the default form of a library on different architectures. [01:34] (Or, knowing Perl, it probably always had the undocumented shorthand forms, and PCRE just dutifully replicated it) [01:34] Yeah, more likely that the docs are incomplete. [01:34] Or that I'm failing to find the documentation of this. [01:35] cjwatson: perlreref(1) documents \d and \D as "work within or without a character class." [01:35] cjwatson: The strange bit here being that my brain saw the perlre(1) reference at the end of uscan(1) and just went "finger, yo, type 'man pcre'". [01:35] I use to dislike Ubuntu, so I used Debian. Main reason was because I like the rolling-distro idea, and I used Debian unstable for the latest apps [01:36] Ihave a package in Debian currently. So I figure I would just play around with packaging in PPA [01:37] sarnold: Ah, yes. Thanks. [01:37] perlre has expanded, er, rather a lot since I last read it start-to-finish. [01:38] That's because you started cheating on Perl with Python. You know, that language where you fork sed when you want to do things. [01:38] Which was in about 1999. [01:38] infinity: You're going to make me fix that just as an anti-shaming device, aren't you [01:39] Nonsense. If you fix it, I'll have to find something else to pick on you for. [01:39] And when I run out of code examples, it's going to get nasty and personal instead. [01:39] So, best to leave it there. [01:42] # XXX: do not fix this bug or else infinity's going to mention that time with the watermelon [01:43] I thought it was a cantaloupe? [01:45] Shhh. [01:50] is there a way to get a given package updated from upstream? [01:52] jetsaredim: If the package has an active maintainer, they know about the new upstream. If the package does not have an active maintainer, you can become one :) [01:54] RAOF: i was afraid you'd say that [01:54] You were asking for it :) [01:55] We're also after feature-freeze, so the default answer to ‘should we update this package to a new upstream’ is going to be ‘no’. [01:55] its broken [01:55] You can also file a bug, of course, but there's no particular guarantee of when anyone will look at it. Most of the time the best way to get a package updated is to follow its downstreams step by step: that is, if it's packaged in Debian, file a Debian bug to get the Debian maintainer to package a new version, and then we can sync/merge that into Ubuntu. [01:55] If there are particularly good reasons for updating then that answer can become ‘yes’ :) [01:55] (As a general rule. There are always exceptions.) [01:56] how would i figure out if there is a downstream? [01:56] Look at the package changelog and see if it's all Ubuntu or if there are Debian entries there too [01:57] Or http://packages.qa.debian.org/ [01:57] * cjwatson -> second attempt to sleep [01:58] interestingly enough there is a downstream but its older than the 12.10 package === cpg|away is now known as cpg [04:34] Good morning [04:43] rning === Zdra is now known as xclaesse [07:04] good morning [07:05] hey Mr Holbach [07:05] Salut Monsieur Rouche - comment ça va aujourd'hui?

[12:53] i'm interested in getting it to not run dns server on network. [13:07] mpt: as it turns out, top-k is complex for arbitrary ranges [13:07] who could've guessed [13:07] ev, I don't know what that means. What is top-k? [13:07] so for a set of dates, get the 100 items with the greatest count [13:09] oh yeah [13:09] thats been perplexing database folks for years [13:10] ev: materialized views of common ranges are the simplest answer [13:10] but, not the most flexible [13:13] ev: distributed map reduce. [13:13] ev: clearly the answer. [13:13] lifeless: storm? [13:13] have you played with it yet, or any alternatives for that matter? [13:13] its on my when-I-get-time-to-scratch-myself list. [13:14] SpamapS: indeed - we can do that for the month view (get the past 30 days once a day, calculate, stuff somewhere), but for anything where realtime counts (like the past 24 hours making up a day) we're boned [13:14] this is for the most common problems table on errors.ubuntu.com, for what it's worth [13:14] lifeless: looks like I've got an itch :) [13:15] ev: I can suggest an iterative algorithm that will stop short of a full scan [13:15] lifeless: please do [13:15] SpamapS: or indeed when people select arbitrary date ranges for the table === beuno_ is now known as beuno [13:16] ev: take the topk from each bucket, sum common values together and order; take lowest value V, then retrieve all items from each bucket where the count in that bucket is >= V/buckets. [13:17] ev: sum and order again, cut at k, and say fuckit, thats good enough. [13:17] ah excellent [13:17] so that will require sorted buckets [13:17] this is off the cuff at 1am. [13:17] It may be terrible. [13:17] so intermediary column families as cassandra doesn't support counters as part of a composite column name [13:17] so no real time [13:18] hm [13:18] alternatively, maintain a sliding window topK family [13:18] pick the ranges you want to support, and walk them forward [13:18] still trying to wrap my head around this: http://www.acunu.com/2/post/2012/07/approximate-analytics.html [13:18] and this http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/research/tech_reports/reports/2005-14.pdf [13:19] in my tabs now, will read tomorrow [13:19] lifeless: can you elaborate? (whenever you have time, that is) [13:19] I don't want to keep you up [13:19] but I'm not sure I follow what you mean by a sliding window top k family [13:19] I'm assuming this involves timeuuids, I'm just not sure how :) [13:22] ev: so, I'm thinking about the following two questions [13:22] if you have a time range T, and some topK data in it - e.g. the top(K*2) or something [13:23] and you wanted to know for range T+1, ending one bucket width later [13:23] what the topK would be [13:23] under what conditions would something that isn't topK in T become topK in T+1 [13:23] under what conditions would something that is topK in T stop being topK in T+1 [13:24] then repeat that for the case where you have T but want to know for T where you reduce it by one day [13:24] bucket [13:24] thing [13:24] if you could do that fairly efficiently [13:24] you could get T shifted by - say- 2 buckets, in realtime [13:25] and just keep some number of T's prepped ready to roll, and a 'head' T that you update every day to keep things moving forward and answer 'lastT' queries [13:25] * lifeless stops handwaving [13:26] yeah, I'm just not sure the data makes that possible. Of course these papers I'm skimming seem to argue in your direction :) [13:28] ev: things like, if in the +1 bucket you have some count for value V of N, it can only become topK, if the count of V in T +N > topk[k] [13:30] for what it's worth postgres 9.2 supports ranges natively, I don't know how good the performance is as I have not played with it yet. [13:30] http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What%27s_new_in_PostgreSQL_9.2#Range_Types [13:30] and it can give you intersections.... [13:30] but you are not using posgres at all are you, ev? [13:31] use postgres 9.2. db as a "cache" for the top-k view..... lol [13:32] lifeless: right, but if we looked at 24 hours of data, broken down in to hour buckets, and in all the hours except the most recent, a key has a value of 0, but has a value greater than the highest in top-k, it breaks down surely [13:32] which is entirely possible when we're talking about crash signatures mapping to their frequency [13:32] an issue lands and it suddenly spikes [13:32] xnox: well you joke, but one option (before we got into this arbitrary range thing) was to use redis for the top-k [13:33] ev: well, say your T range is 24 hours [13:33] ev: so you want to merge in one additional hour [13:33] ev: if its greater than any of the top-k in that hour, that key will be added in, no prob [13:34] right [13:34] ah === Guest70664 is now known as slank === slank is now known as Guest79513 [13:35] ev: you can get to two hours by induction [13:36] ev: so if it takes 10 seconds to load the nearest T range [13:36] ev: and 20 seconds per day [13:36] ev: you could do 3 days out in 70 seconds [13:36] ev: and run T's overlapping by day, with <=3 days to the nearest T [13:37] ev: night [13:37] lifeless: thanks and goodnight [13:38] I'll try to make sense of all that now :) === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [13:42] ev: to the map/reduce point, this is pretty much the approach the twitters of the world use to get realtime stats [13:43] SpamapS: ja.

[14:31] stokachu: I then sync all of that to a local imap server and access it with thunderbird or any other sensible client (emacs) [14:32] xnox: cool yea this is exactly what i was looking for [14:32] fetchmail doesn't do all folders without specifying each one [14:33] stokachu: offlineimap can sync all the read/unread flags two-way =) which fetchmail can't [14:33] stokachu: and offlineimap is two-way sync [14:33] stokachu: you can set read-only if you need / want [14:34] xnox: do i have to run it on my shell for canonical email? [14:34] for the 2-way sync [14:34] stokachu: no. you run it anywhere. It works via IMAP(S) protocol. [14:34] ah ok [14:35] stokachu: e.g. I run offlineimap on my laptop. [14:35] folderfilter = lambda folder: folder.startswith('MyLabel') <- thats awesome [14:40] xnox: this app is so awesome [14:41] stokachu: mind the gap.... that is mind the memory leaks, you may want to do `offlineimap -o` (run-once) if you are affected by the memory leaks [14:42] patches welcome ;-) [14:42] haha ok [14:43] stokachu: also if you have a lot of mail use: status_backend = sqlite [14:43] to speed things up.

[16:23] xnox, Regarding the X session crash right after login on quantal [16:23] cjwatson, i also reported another bug re: usb keyboard on amd64+mac, bug 1050855. and yes i could try the fix later today [16:23] Launchpad bug 1050855 in linux (Ubuntu) "External USB keyboard stops working when d-i starts on mac mini" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1050855 [16:24] It seems that XFCE starts as expected [16:24] So it's just a Unity/Gnome issue [16:25] psivaa: OK - not related to bug 1017879 FWIW, as in that case it worked in the desktop CD [16:25] Launchpad bug 1017879 in linux (Ubuntu Quantal) "External USB keyboard stops working when d-i starts" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1017879 [16:28] cjwatson, yes hence a new bug :) [16:30] right, but you said it was very similar to that other bug, and I'm just pointing out the important distinction that means it would require a different (and typically harder) kind of fix [16:37] cjwatson, understand [16:46] cjwatson, I've made the change in bzr and will coordinate with bdmurry on getting reports.qa updated. [16:47] cjwatson, I believe the data originates from kate so we may need to make sure her coq mapping is correct as well. [16:48] cjwatson: I updated the spreadsheet during or after the meeting and the reports will be updated shortly [16:53] bryceh,bdmurray: great, thanks [16:53] bryceh: I did check the coq mapping in what I believe is Kate's spreadsheet [16:58] before i go wasting my time, does anyone know of a very simple script to file bugs in launchpad against a specified project? i'm not talking about ubuntu-bug style, just want to give a project name, a title and description and be done === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] [17:04] brendand, I don't know if such a script already exists but would be trivial to make using lpltk [17:04] or plain launchpadlib come to that [17:05] even launchpadlib, although you'd need to muss with credentials and such, but probably could cargo cult that [17:06] It's hardly difficult [17:06] nope, hardly difficult [17:06] launchpad = Launchpad.login_with("lp-file-bug", "production") [17:06] done [17:09] hey. maybe someone can help me. [17:09] i'm really out of ideas. [17:09] bug 1052664 [17:09] Launchpad bug 1052664 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "hostname intermittently contains comment from cloud-init" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1052664 [17:10] it seems to me, that when invoked in boot (and only intermittently even then), 'hostname -b -F /etc/hostname' does not ignore '#' comments. [17:10] i know you're going to tell me that doesnt make sense. [17:10] it doesnt [17:13] come on. [17:13] someone has to be able to spot what i'm doing wrong there, or at least tell me i'm compeltely wrong. [17:14] smoser: is /bin/hostname at early boot provided by e.g. busybox in an initrd/initramfs and _doesn't_ ignore the # ? [17:15] cjwatson: would you expect boot-time fscks on Ubuntu server to display the same level of detail on the plymouth details plugin as they do on the graphical plymouth bootup? [17:16] * SpamapS apologizes for the weird parsing required to udnerstand that [17:22] in the new world of quantal, how do I tell nautilus to burn an iso to the CDR? "write to disk" seems to have gone *poof* [17:26] sarnold, i had that thought, possibly that the initramfs was opening it. but my wrapped script did get called by the upstart job (which starts on 'starting'). [17:27] so really outside of the initramfs setting it, i dont know what would do it. [17:27] and then, even if the initramfs set it wrong,the real /bin/hostname was told to set it, so it should have done that. [17:35] brendand, in any case let me know if you write the script, I'd like to include such a script in lpltk [17:35] Can anybody review my merge proposal. [17:37] infinity, if you're still around, alberto uploaded nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-304 to replace nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental. Same bits as before, just the corrected name. Mind waving it through NEW? [17:39] infinity, there is also a nvidia-settings-experimental-304 to replace nvidia-settings-experimental, so the latter should be dropped from the archive [17:43] smoser: the /bin/hostname source code even looks like it should match the description given in the manpage. I'm as confused as you. Is something calling hostname(2) directly without going through the /bin/hostname program? [17:44] bryceh: Looks like someone else NEWed them, but I'll make sure everything's sane WRT old versions being removed, etc. [17:47] sarnold, oh. good you're still paying attention. [17:47] i thoguht that too [17:47] and that is possible [17:48] however, i updated the wrapper program [17:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215249/ [17:48] so *if* that is the case, then that other hostname setter ran in between my read, invoke, read [17:49] infinity, thanks [17:51] smoser: that's a _good_ one. Wow. [17:54] the other hint is that this seems a recent regression. [17:55] i've only ever seen this in builds from today. [17:55] i've also grepped through /etc/ for occurence of '/etc/hostname' in the hope that whatever was doing it would showup there. [17:56] but the only time that string occurs is in the upstart job === henrix is now known as henrix_ === deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck === norbi is now known as Guest41853 [18:28] sarnold, you want to poke at this system and see if you cant make heads or tails of this ? [18:28] i'm just completely baffled. [18:28] i can't waste more time on it and i'm just going to remove the comment from the file [18:28] but i'd love to knwo what is going on [18:28] smoser: I'm not sure what i'd do next. aiming the kernel tracing at it seems most likely, but I don't know that off the top of my head, sorry [18:28] i straced [18:28] and i see hostname calling without the '#' [18:29] so it really seems like some other thing is reading that file [18:32] smoser: what's echo $HOSTNAME give you? [18:33] the garbage [18:33] its really annoying. [18:34] its in my prompt [18:36] smoser: what about uname -a? [18:36] garbage [18:36] it *did* set the hostname to that. [18:41] smoser: dhcp or fixed ip? [18:41] dhcp. [18:41] i considered that too [18:41] but the race just seems so odd [18:41] could it be racing with dhclient-script? [18:41] you're thinking ddns ? and dhcp setting it. [18:41] yeah. [18:41] but *every time* i hit this race. [18:41] maybe try commenting it out in dhclient-script just for kicks? [18:47] mdeslaur, it sure doesn't look like it is doing it. [18:47] i put a print right there, and its not calling it [18:48] hrm [18:51] fixed [18:51] sudo apt-get --purge remove network-manager [18:51] smoser: oh! what was it? [18:51] GAH! [18:51] on server?? [18:52] this was on desktop cloud image [18:52] but i sweare i saw it in server [18:52] but i must hvae been wrong === cpg|away is now known as cpg [18:57] smoser: excellent! :) well. Sortof. Stupid NM. [18:57] yeah, i'm gonna hope a bug on it. [18:58] and then stop cloud-init from writing a comment there. [19:24] SpamapS: I don't quite recall, TBH; I think I would expect them to provide whatever you'd get by calling the appropriate fsck command from a console [19:25] it's possible the -C (?) progress interface gives the smarter splashes more than that [19:31] indeed, we have 'console output' on mountall, which runs the fsck, and I don't see where mountall closes stdout/stderr so it should arrive on console === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:38] bryceh - this is the basics. i used launchpadlib directly: https://code.launchpad.net/~brendan-donegan/+junk/lp-file-bug [19:42] brendand, thanks === cpg is now known as cpg|away === cpg|away is now known as cpg [20:24] bryceh - where are you going to put it? i can propose a merge, no problem [20:27] brendand, the scripts directory of python-launchpadlib-toolkit, once I finish a couple MIR+SRUs [20:28] merge proposals to https://code.launchpad.net/~arsenal-devel/lpltk/2.x [20:36] bryceh, LaunchpadService.create_bug insists on filing into a package? === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [20:39] brendand, it expects that yes, but that can certainly be changed to be optional. [20:40] bbiab (AC repairman coming) [21:13] psivaa: deb http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/tmp/grub2/for-psivaa/ ./ [21:13] (unsigned) [21:19] bryceh, hopefully all in order: https://code.launchpad.net/~brendan-donegan/lpltk/lp-file-bug-lpltk/+merge/125346 [21:19] Launchpad bug 125346 in util-linux (Ubuntu) "package util-linux 2.12r-19ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: problemas de dependencias - se deja sin configurar" [Undecided,Invalid] [21:24] cjwatson, thanks, ill give it a try in a little while [21:25] may not make much difference, but based on https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2012-07/msg00053.html and upthread [21:25] "broken BIOSes" is often a decent characterisation of Macs, so it's possible :-) === salem_ is now known as _salem === fisted is now known as Guest86798 === Guest79513 is now known as slank [21:54] brendand, thanks, merged [21:57] bryceh, was it added to scripts so that if i install lpltk it will be in the path? [22:03] brendand, yep [22:06] bryce - heh. tiny little typo in there :/ [22:07] brendand, oh? [22:07] yeah, i'll push something real quick [22:07] ok cool [22:08] $ ./scripts/lp-file-bug foobar [22:08] ... NameError: global name 'CalledProcessError' is not defined [22:08] oh, sure i'll take care of that too [22:09] but that's weird. CalledProcess is part of python subprocess. is it removed from your system somehow? [22:11] its subprocess.CalledProcessError [22:11] no global name [22:12] brendand, fwiw I ran it on a precise box, if that matters [22:12] ok, i'm on it [22:13] oh wait, do you have nano installed? [22:13] and EDITOR is not set? [22:15] it wants to use either EDITOR or nano if EDITOR isn't specified [22:17] $ echo $EDITOR [22:17] emacs -nw [22:18] maybe the space screwed it up? [22:19] yep [22:19] $ EDITOR=emacs ./scripts/lp-file-bug foobar [22:19] Unable to file bug in: [22:19] project: ubuntu [22:19] the argumet brakes it use shlex.split [22:33] cjwatson, that did not make it work, i'm afraid. [22:34] cjwatson, so i had to make the grub timeout to be -1 inorder for the grub menu to be displayed, that made the grub menu displayed, but none of the keystrokes work on the grub menu [22:36] cjwatson, that has now left the system stay on grub menu forever and needs reinstalling :) ( which i will have to do anyway for further testing) [23:00] psivaa: ok, worth a try, thanks. (you could modify the grub configuration without reinstalling with the aid of a live CD) [23:01] cjwatson, i do not have an external cd drive though [23:01] or live USB image [23:02] cjwatson, ahh ok, that i could do then, thanks that helps [23:03] cjwatson, editing the grub during live session persists? [23:06] psivaa: mounting the target filesystem and saving changes to /boot/grub/grub.cfg within it does [23:06] psivaa: you can also edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub, which is technically better because you aren't editing generated code, but that's more effort as you have to bind-mount all of /dev, /proc, and /sys into the target system and chroot in [23:06] which you may or may not be familiar with doing [23:07] cjwatson, thanks, ill try doing the first, the second option has more newer stuff :) === malkauns__ is now known as malkauns
