|Anthony|are there any plans to support multiseat setups comparable to how fedora currently does?01:27
|Anthony|not with systemd though, but through existing and currently in use (but being developed upstream) software?01:28
|Anthony|for example, Xorg has a new -seat option in 7.701:28
|Anthony|is udev going to be forked/maintained for/by *buntu since it has been merged into systemd? If not will there be a replacement, or will it just age?01:51
sarnold|Anthony|: ooh, -seat ? sounds cool01:53
|Anthony|yeah01:54
|Anthony|the more i look into this the more mad i get honestly01:54
|Anthony|lennart et al has managed to get their hands into so many system critical things that all distros will have to use systemd01:55
|Anthony|udev01:55
|Anthony|consolekit01:55
|Anthony|the -seat switch in Xorg was introduced to enhance systemd imo01:56
|Anthony|</rant>01:56
|Anthony|idk why -seat is needed tbh when there is -layout and -config01:57
|Anthony|both of which are able to maintain a group of associated hardware01:57
sarnold|Anthony|: I've coined the phrase "the lennartisation of Linux" to describe many of the things I've come to dislike or detest...01:58
sarnold.. but that's just my own personal opinion. :)01:58
|Anthony|it is one that is shared by many01:58
sarnoldI had hoped, when you first mentioned -seat, that it'd be that cleverl little final piece of glue to make it easy to piece together four video cards, four keyboards, four mice, into a single system with four separate X systems all at once.01:59
sarnold(A dream I've seen discussed for 15 years at this point...)01:59
|Anthony|if i understand it's purpose, it is used by udev (now systemd) for rule matching02:00
|Anthony|sarnold, it already is easy to do that with the version of x included in 12.0402:00
|Anthony|very actually02:01
sarnoldyay!02:01
|Anthony|and some simple udev magic to allow hotplugging of input devices makes it nice02:01
|Anthony|only headache i have atm is routing audio to each seat02:01
sarnoldohhh02:02
|Anthony|there is no audio support in X as far as i can tell02:02
|Anthony|just video, keyboard and mouse02:03
|Anthony|and guess who owns pulseaudio?02:03
|Anthony|lennart02:03
sarnold(just between you and me, every new install I do I find audio breaks soon... and after half-hour fiddling with knobs, I find that "apt-get purge pulseaudio" seems to fix all the problems and I haven't yet discovered what I'm missing..)02:04
|Anthony|pulseaudio has been a fkn thorn in my side for... well since i started in linux 4 years ago02:05
|Anthony|i came late to the linux party02:05
|Anthony|heh02:05
sarnoldaha. :) That role used to be played by ALSA, which these days looks downright reliable in comparison.02:06
|Anthony|what is the difference between alsa and pulse02:06
|Anthony|cause they both run concurrently02:06
|Anthony|pulse is a sound server, and alsa is...02:07
|Anthony|i know the acronym but what it really is escapes me02:08
sarnoldALSA is the kernel interface between the /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, etc. userspace interfaces and the soundcards02:08
sarnoldALSA is just a pile of modules that run in the kernel.02:08
|Anthony|ah02:08
|Anthony|and pulse manages it in userspace?02:09
sarnoldI _think_ pulse is supposed to provide per-application mixers, volume levels, etc.02:09
sarnoldbut I've never seen that interface.02:09
|Anthony|haha02:09
sarnoldanyway, dinner time. good luck :)02:09
|Anthony|i'm actually stuck at configuring pulse/alsa for the multiseat setup here02:10
|Anthony|and am banging my head cause i have no experience with configuring either one02:10
mwhudsontotally random underresearched question, but is it possible that something removes /etc/resolv.conf when networking goes down?02:34
mwhudsonone way to find out i guess02:41
slangasekmwhudson: nothing that's not buggy does so :/02:42
mwhudsonheh02:42
mwhudsonslangasek: so this is a linaro/lava thing02:43
mwhudsonwe deploy a test rootfs, boot into it, reboot into the master rootfs and the resolv.conf is gone from the testrootfs partition02:43
mwhudson... sometimes02:43
slangasekhmm02:43
slangasekis this using resolvconf?  i.e., /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink into /run?02:44
mwhudsoni think it's precise ubuntu-desktop based image02:45
mwhudsonwhich means... yes?  i think so?02:45
mwhudsondownloading the image now to poke at, but it's 600 megs compressed so...02:45
slangasekmwhudson: ack, with precise it should be a symlink.  Is it /etc/resolv.conf itself that disappears, or only the target of it?02:49
mwhudsonslangasek: OperationFailed: executing 'cp -f /mnt/testrootfs/etc/resolv.conf /mnt/testrootfs/etc/resolv.conf.bak' failed with code 102:50
mwhudsonslangasek: which suggests the symlink is gone02:50
* slangasek nods02:50
brycehdoko_, found a patch for the first package, looks like upstream just doesn't test 64-bit.  Contacted Debian as they may want the patch too.  The other two build failures are basically due to bug #950963; dunno what to do there, but I'll contact alberto.03:16

kyanHi, where should I ask a build error question?08:21
xnox!ask|kyan08:26
ubottukyan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience08:26
kyanxnox: okaaay, it's just that I've gotten blasted a few times for asking in the wrong channel.. Basically I'm trying to build Unity from source (via apt-get source --compile). When I'm building gettext, there's a missing operand error for the command cd debian/gettext/usr/lib && mv libgettextpo.so. ???08:28
xnoxkyan: please use pastebin (there is nifty commandline package pastebinit) with full error log & version numbers08:29
cjwatsonthe source line for that is:08:29
cjwatson        cd debian/$@/usr/lib && mv libgettextpo.so $(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)08:29
cjwatsonso that sounds like you're trying to build it on an older version of Ubuntu08:30
cjwatsonpre-natty08:30
cjwatsonkyan: ^- is that so?08:33
kyancjwatson: I'm trying to build it outside of stock Ubuntu.08:34
kyancjwatson: I'm using Wreathe (a Maverick fork) and trying to build Unity in it.08:34
cjwatsonkyan: then the answer is probably not one you're going to like08:35
kyanxnox: Pastebin.com rejected it because it was too long; Pastebin.ca's server still hasn't replied08:36
kyancjwatson: umm, off topic? *That's* why I asked where I should ask the question…08:36
kyanlol08:36
cjwatsonno, that's not what I meant08:36
kyancjwatson: oh?08:36
cjwatsonkyan: maverick is sufficiently old that, even if you could build current packages on it, they wouldn't run because the linker there doesn't know about the current multiarch library path08:37
kyancjwatson: Well how were the newer systems created? It seems that I'd need to update it to use the different library path.08:37
cjwatsonkyan: the only ways to make this work are (a) manually reverse the steps of http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation where applicable for each package you're attempting to build (b) update to a newer base system08:37
cjwatsonI would strongly recommend (b) if at all possible; (a) is not going to be even a little bit of fun08:38
kyancjwatson: Well why not just update the base system to multiarch?08:38
cjwatsonkyan: that's http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Bootstrapping, but it is arduous08:38
kyancjwatson: hmm…08:39
xnoxkyan: pastebin.ubuntu.com should accept large output.08:39
cjwatsonit would be easier to update to something based off a more recent version of Ubuntu rather than duplicating the (I think) man-weeks or more likely man-months of work involved there08:39
kyancjwatson: Hmm. Couldn't one bootstrap off the later repos though? It seems like the work's already done, so it ought to be easy enough to just build each of the relevant packages in order from the new repos.08:41
cjwatsondepends on how much you want to trust the directions above to be absolutely complete :)08:41
cjwatsonsounds like a waste of effort to me, but you can try08:42
cjwatsonyou would probably want to start with natty rather than precise, but I don't recall any more whether there were bugs fixed in the interim that would be relevant ...08:42
* ogra_ would just upgrade the base ... essentially backporting the packages you need will leave you already with a partitally upgraded system, why not wlak the full distance then ?08:43
ogra_*walk08:43
kyancjwatson: Well I'm a little doubtful… given that I tried updating dpkg to 1.16 (for multiarch), but it requires a newer gettext (requires multiarch) to build dpkg. Chicken and egg.08:43
cjwatsonwe did this all iteratively in our archive; it would take a long time to reproduce the steps and you won't necessarily be able to jump over multiple ones08:43
cjwatsonI would expect that the delta between maverick and wreathe is much smaller than the delta between maverick and natty (say)08:44
cjwatsonso if you think of it that way, it should be easier to rebase wreathe on >=natty08:44
kyanogra_: Well, basically all I want is Unity running simultaneously with the Wreathe Fusion Application Manager.08:45
cjwatsonwreathe will have to update sooner or later anyway to continue getting security patches08:45
ogra_++08:45
kyancjwatson: That's quite possibly true.08:45
ogra_maverick starts to smell already08:45
kyan(WFMA=basically it's KDE Plasma and applications mashed up with GNOME 2 and a bit of LXDE).08:46
* cjwatson looks at dpkg in natty08:47
cjwatsonit only build-depends on gettext (>= 0.18), which maverick has08:47
kyancjwatson: Hmm. Intriguing…08:47
cjwatsonit's possible that apt-get source --compile tries to build all the build-deps without considering whether they're already available08:47
kyanI was using the dpkg from Quantal, so that might be a problem right there08:48
cjwatsonor perhaps that if you install the build-deps before trying to build the package in question, that will help08:48
cjwatsonyou definitely won't be able to use dpkg from quantal; maverick's tools won't be able to parse the gettext:any build-dep in use there08:48
cjwatsondon't try to skip over that much08:48
cjwatsonwe didn't build dpkg/quantal using a maverick build system, after all08:48
evlifeless: cheers! I'll have a look08:49
kyancjwatson: lol good point08:49
cjwatsonat the very outside you should not expect to be able to skip over an LTS boundary; but in the special case of multiarch, extreme care is needed08:50
kyancjwatson; Aight, let's see how natty sources do…08:50
kyancjwatson: Hmm… :-P08:51
* kyan is having his OS development crash course right now08:51
kyanXD08:51
kyanHuh. Building it from natty sources has dpkg give a bunch of test failures…08:53
kyanhttp://pastebin.com/gT38BYrx08:55
kyanThat wasn't what I was expecting.08:55
kyancjwatson: So I guess what it looks like is it doesn't know what the test results ought to be, for some reason or another…08:58
cjwatsonkyan: I'm not sure what that is.  It might indicate that the dpkg-divert program there is broken for some other reason.09:01
kyancjwatson: IDK either. I'm finding some missing development libraries (libbamf-dev wasn't available because of debhelper not being the right version), so I'm going to build them and hope they fix things.09:02
cjwatsonkyan: libbamf-dev isn't in dpkg's build-dependency chan09:06
cjwatson*chain09:06
kyancjwatson: hmm……09:07
cjwatsonmvo: do you have some time to help me with apt and multiple signatures on a Release file?  I'm trying to upgrade the archive to sign with the new signing key as well, and I'm finding that if I only have the new key installed that gpgv refuses to process the signatures09:07
* kyan is confused09:07
kyanthen what was it showing up there for?? XD09:07
kyancjwatson: Anyway I'm trying just bypassing the tests for now.09:08
cjwatsonmvo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216392/09:08
mitya57will we sync new lintian when it's released?09:08
cjwatsonkyan: perhaps you ought to build packages one by one using apt-get source and debuild -b; I'm not particularly sure what apt-get source --compile does these days09:08
mitya57(according to nthykier, it will happen after 2012-09-27, when the previous one migrates to testing)09:09
kyancjwatson: ok. I haven't used that method before so it'll be a new experience :P09:09
Laneymitya57: probably09:09
* mitya57 will now bump standards-version of his packages09:10
Laneywho doesn't love a shiny new Standards-Version?09:11
cjwatsonmvo: it does work if I have either both keys or only the old one, but this seems like anomalous behaviour09:13
mitya57;)09:13
mvocjwatson: yeah, that sounds wrong, does it matter if gpg or gpgv is used? or same result?09:14
cjwatsonmvo: looks similar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216397/09:15
cjwatsonmvo: and for completeness: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216398/09:15
cjwatsonmvo: I suspect this is a long-running issue - see e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/06/msg00070.html09:16
kyanNow this is weird. grub-common in natty requires dpkg >= 1.15.4, or install-info, or dpkg <=1.14.25. According to gdebi-gtk, those dependencies are broken by updating to dpkg 1.16.0.09:17
kyanIt seems to me that the dependencies are quite alright.09:17
kyanbecause 1.16.0 is undeniably >=1.15.4, and that *is*, after all, one of the options.09:18
mvocjwatson: let me read the mail09:19
cjwatsonmvo: oh, maybe it's because the new key uses a different digest algorithm from the old - see gnupg/g10/mainproc.c:2047-206109:19
cjwatsonold used SHA-1, new uses SHA-51209:21
cjwatsonso I guess not really apt's fault - gpg just doesn't provide a way to do this09:21
lifelessev: still digesting more of the stuff09:21
mvocjwatson: right :/09:22
kyanah, just a bug in gdebi-gtk. plain old dpkg handles it fine.09:22
cjwatsonmvo: ah, here we go09:23
cjwatsonmvo: if I force --digest-algo SHA1 when signing with the new key, it works09:24
cjwatsonwell, sort of09:24
mvocjwatson: cool09:24
cjwatsonI still get:09:24
cjwatsonW: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:09:24
cjwatson40976EAF437D05B509:24
mvo:/09:24
cjwatsonmvo: but it's non-fatal09:25
cjwatsoni.e. the archive is still considered properly signed and I can install from it09:25
mvocjwatson: funny coincidence, I was just reporting a upstream gnupg bug (or whishlist) for a --recv-key-strict that actually checks the keyid after the download09:25
cjwatsonso I think a plan is: for <=precise, sign with only the old key; for quantal, sign with the old key plus the new key with --digest-algo SHA1; at some future point, sign only with the new key with the default digest algorithm for that key09:26
mvocjwatson: right, sounds good09:27
cjwatsonglad I tested this :-)09:27
mvo:)09:27
mvoand that you found the sha1 workaround09:27
cjwatsonyeah.  I'll document it in commentary in lp:ubuntu-archive-publishing09:28
kyancjwatson: wow. dpkg hates me. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216417/09:28
cjwatsonnot a giant surprise.  use a chroot rather than building in your real system.09:30
kyancjwatson: hehe.09:31

cjwatsondutchie: then after you get back into the system you should check 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc'11:24
cjwatsondual-boot systems are often misconfigured in how the boot loader is installed, for one reason or another11:24

smbcjwatson, I believe to remember you doing installer testing in KVM VMs. Would you know why grub would think that qemu (Seabios) is a setup that should use EFI as a framebuffer. I am asking because I was looking at a problem resulting from that and wondering (as I have not heard of that being really used in anything else atm) why that is.12:34
cjwatsonThat sounds like a partial diagnosis; any chance of the original symptoms?12:34
cjwatsonGRUB can only use EFI video if it's actually an EFI build12:35
smbI am not aware that my Precise host is using an EFI build. But the Quantal installation does bring up an EFI FB12:36
cjwatsonSo do you actually mean that Linux is using an EFI framebuffer?12:36
smbWhich leads to problems because Quantal tries to kick that out and replace it with the cirrusdrmfb in a KVM environment12:37
smbcjwatson, yes12:37
smbEnabling the text only grub console prevents it and I could not find anything in the kernel deciding for efi fb beside that some info has been set up before12:37
cjwatsonThe only time GRUB will tell Linux to use an EFI framebuffer is if it is using one itself, which only happens if you're using grub-efi-* rather than grub-pc12:38
cjwatsonOh, it might be setting GRUB_VIDEO_LINUX_TYPE_SIMPLE12:38
cjwatsonWhich is 0x7012:38
smbAh12:39
smbYeah and I think to remember EFI value as 0x70, too12:39
dokopitti, GCC trunk (gcc-snapshot) now has libbacktrace, a library providing stack traces including source name and line number. it's not installed by default, so you would have to look at the sources and the build12:39
Sweetsharksince there is talk about GRUB here right now:12:39
Sweetsharkhmmm, installing the quantal daily CD (amd64) in VirtualBox fails to install the bootloader. known issue?12:39
cjwatsonsmb: But that's mostly been there for ages, in precise too I believe12:40
pittidoko: ah, interesting; does that also provide function arguments?12:40
smbSweetshark, not that I know of... but I have not tried the daily today12:40
cjwatsonSweetshark: yes, bug 105331712:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1053317 in grub-installer (Ubuntu Quantal) "/usr/share/grub-installer/grub-installer: 57: local: not in a function" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105331712:40
dokopitti, didn't look, see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54515 for an example traceback12:41
cjwatsonsmb: Normally, though, GRUB would be using VBE in qemu/kvm12:41
smbcjwatson, That is possible. The special drm driver for the cirrus card used in qemu just has been added with newer kernels12:41
ubottugcc.gnu.org bug 54515 in middle-end "cc1plus sigsegv -O2 anonymous namespace" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]12:42
cjwatsonsmb: Possibly the all_video work has meant that it ends up preferring cirrus ...12:42
cjwatsonsmb: Is this easily reproducible in kvm with quantal images and no funny business?12:42
dutchiecjwatson: i can see i386-pc, which contains a normal.mod file. the message is just "error: file not found"12:43
Sweetsharkcjwatson: k, thanks.12:43
smbcjwatson, Relative. The fact that it races on replacing the fb happens not always and the result is sometimes you can get unity desktop running and sometimes it crashes12:44
smbcjwatson, Just because if it fails the cirrus X driver gets used (but that crashes), if not the modeset X driver gets used.12:45
smbcjwatson, You would see the failure by grepping for "cirrus" in dmesg12:45
cjwatsondutchie: I bet it says "GNU GRUB  version 1.99-something"12:45
dutchieit doesn't say gnu grub version anything12:45
cjwatsondrat, maybe no version reporting if you get dumped to rescue mode12:46
dutchiejust "Loading Operating System..." from the bios, then "error: file not found" and then the prompt12:46
smbcjwatson, If you are interested in the current status of it: bug 103805512:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1038055 in linux (Ubuntu) "graphics fail to initialise correctly, in kvm with cirrus graphics (after LUKS install)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103805512:47
smb(the LUKS reference is a red herring, probably should drop it from the description)12:47
cjwatsondutchie: well, "file not found" is a message from 1.99; 2.00 prints a more informative message including the file name12:47
cjwatsondutchie: so this indicates that the core image is 1.99 and is pointing to 2.00 modules12:47
cjwatson=> misconfiguration12:48
dutchieright, so i have to get a live image to work somehow?12:48
cjwatsonyou might like to set root and prefix to the other installation on your second disk to get yourself going again12:48
dutchieah, hadn't thought of that12:48
cjwatsonsince that's very likely where your core image comes from12:48
cjwatsonsmb: right, I just mean this scenario comes from a straight install?12:49
cjwatsonsmb: but that bug report predates GRUB 2.00; it's with more or less the same version of GRUB as was in precise12:49
cjwatsonSo it is not at all clear that this is a regression in 2.00; if it is, then there are multiple problems12:50
smbcjwatson, I would suspect it. Though I am reproducing it with an updated image. Let me check back with a precise image (whether efi fb is used). Though I am supecting the regression happens because the kernel suddenly has another fb driver12:52
cjwatsontakes a while to check unfortunately since you have to actually do an install rather than rely on the live image12:54
smbcjwatson, It unfortunately will also take a while since I found the precise vm to be a bit behind on updates. Though at least with that there was no efifb lines to be found. But I want to get that updated to be sure.12:58
dutchiecjwatson: got back in, thanks12:58
dutchiedid you say there was something else to do afterwards?12:58
cjwatsondutchie: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' in both OSes and make sure exactly one of them is trying to install to wherever your firmware boots from13:08
stgraberpitti: nope, never heard of something like that. My understanding is that NM's DNS config writer is the same for all connections type so it should be writing into /run/resolvconf even when everything is statically configured...13:18
obounaimPlease can anybody sponsor me: http://goo.gl/PijNl and http://goo.gl/QQAHD. Thanks in advance13:23
mptev, if you're having to update the graph manually, I guess bug 1039070 is fixed?13:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1039070 in Errors "Graph often plummets today" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103907013:26
smbcjwatson, Ok, so it is using efifb in Precise (with grub 1.99). So not a regression between grub versions. Probably lapse to not use VESA but we never noticed because there was not a drm driver for that virtual cirrus card.13:27
cjwatsonsmb: Right.  It's possible it's even deliberate, as Steve suggests; if efifb is given dimensions in the boot parameter block, it's not actually as tied to EFI as the name suggests.13:29
evmpt: indeed, fixed13:29
cjwatsonsmb: See e.g. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1027491, which I never did get round to pushing all the way up the hill13:30
cjwatsonsmb: But I *think* we intended to avoid efifb on BIOS systems in favour of KMS or whatever13:30
smbcjwatson, Ah I see. Yeah, there seems to be something done done for at least i915 based systems as I could not see the efifb show up on any netbooks/laptops I did look at13:32
* smb notices word bouncing... maybe I should stop the coffee consumption...13:32
cjwatsonOn real hardware, GRUB will typically be using its VBE driver, so it won't pass 0x70 to Linux.13:33
smbIf that would work with KVM instances, too it might avoid some issues right now. Not that it prevents us from having to look at the other issue at some time. Though somehow I doubt a bit that ripping out one fb and replace it by another one really helps the flicker free boot approach.13:37
