dholbachdiwic, hey - how are you doing?09:02
dholbachdiwic, I got a USB sound card a few days ago and plugging it in and having it immediately activated for sound works great. do you know if there's plans to also make the sound indicator and volume controls use a newly plugged in soundcard?09:04
diwicdholbach, hi! you mean activate a newly plugged in card to be the default input and output?09:05
dholbachyes09:05
diwicdholbach, because the sound indicator and media keys follow what you set as default in gnome sound settings.09:05
dholbachI'm not sure if that's feasible in every single circumstance, I just found myself using the audio preferences a couple of times before controlling volume and everything09:06
diwicdholbach, that's a design question. And one that sounds simple but it quite complex under the hood.09:06
dholbachyes, I can imagine :-/09:06
diwicdholbach, e g, upstream has the idea of role-based stuff, e g phone calls in your headset and music through your speakers09:06
xnoxdholbach: but in the sound prefs, I can select the new usb card as default and then control it from the indicators & media icons...09:07
dholbachin any case I'm happy that it generally works, even if I have to use the gnome sound settings more often than I'd like :)09:07
* xnox not great but....09:07
dholbachxnox, yes that works for me too - it's just that I have to do it whenever I plug it in :)09:07
dholbachdiwic, ah, that might be interesting indeed09:07
diwicdholbach, add to that the kernel does not give us a clear signal after resume, so we don't know if we just plugged in the sound card right after resume, or if it showed up as part of the resume process09:07
dholbachin any case it's not a huge deal - I just wanted to hear what is planned :)09:08
xnoxdholbach: time for you to learn udev rules & write one which will flip the setting for you. =)))))09:08
dholbachxnox, yes, so much to learn :)09:08
diwicdholbach, btw, this is one of the discussion topics on the pulseaudio mini-conference, colocated with UDS :-)09:08
dholbachexcellent!09:08
diwicxnox, dholbach, as an option you can add "load-module module-switch-on-connect" to your /etc/pulse/default.pa09:11
dholbachalright, I'll note that down and experiment with it09:12
diwicI think it is shipped by default09:12
dholbachthanks a lot diwic09:12
diwicbut it isn't activated by default because it would interfere with the rule-based stuff09:12
dholbachright09:14

jamespagestgraber, ok - give me a ping when you are back10:08
jamespageta10:08
stgraberjamespage: I'm back10:42
jamespagestgraber, hey!10:42
jamespagestgraber, so - bug 105763510:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1057635 in Ubuntu "initramfs does not use iscsiroot device presented by ipxe" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105763510:43
jamespagestgraber, slightly odd-ish case in that I use ipxe to directly sanboot from iscsi volumes, rather than using a tftp accessible kernel and initrd10:44
jamespagewithin the initrd the iscsi initiator does not appear to be configured; so iscsistart stuff fails;10:44
jamespageI can work around it by specifying it a) on the commandline in grub (iscsi_initiator) or b) adding it to /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs and updating accordingly10:45
jamespagestgraber, any thoughts?10:45
stgraberright, so the question is what happen if you add iscsi_initiator on the boot command line when booting that system without iscsi10:45
stgraberbasically we don't want to regress the case where someone dumps their iscsi disk in a VM or standard system, IIRC that's why we don't put the iscsi_initiator in grub's config10:46
stgraberbut if the initramfs detects that case and just ignores iscsi_initiator in such case, then it should be fine to just have iscsi_initiator set in grub too10:47
jamespagestgraber, I think that is entirely appropriate; however surely it would be better to set it up in the initramfs?10:47
jamespagestgraber, that way its all contained to open-iscsi; and does not pollute grub10:48
stgraberindeed, if we can just get rid of the boot parameter completely, that'd work too10:48
=== cpg is now known as cpg|away
jamespagestgraber, well it appears to work if I add it manually and update10:50
jamespagestgraber, hmm - odd - TBH I'm not sure why its not actually working10:58
jamespagestgraber, if I force a manual boot by specifying iscsi_initiator and then just update the initramfs it all works again...11:02
jamespagestgraber, it feels like /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi is not making it into the initramfs during install11:08

=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
jamespagestgraber, eureka! I see the issue; the initiator is not generated until first start of open-iscsi11:28
jamespageso its "Generated=Yes" when the initramfs gets built11:29
stgraberjamespage: oh, fun11:29
jamespagestgraber, looks like this change "Generate the random initiatorname during postinstall rather than in the init script." got dropped on last merge11:30
stgraberdoh, so my fault again right? :)11:33
stgraberwe'll really need to forward those changes to Debian or the next merge will be as much of a pain as the previous one...11:33
jamespagestgraber, lol11:36
jamespageagreed11:37
jamespagestgraber: I've stuff details in that bug report - are you OK to fix? feels like something that needs fixing for release11:37
stgraberjamespage: if it's easy for you to fix, I'd prefer that you fix it and I do the review once it's in the queue (with my release team hat on). Otherwise I can certainly find some time to do it and nag someone else on -release to do the review11:38

Laneydoesn't sound like Brian was doing that, so perhaps it can be triggered in other ways too15:57

micahg(or now if you really want to)16:01
xnoxit works fine with 8GB drives here for me.... unless it created a (8 - 2.7G) ~= 5.3G swap. Aha. So it tried to go for 100% * RAM swap, but it had a minimum hard-code at 2.7 for / which is no longer enough.16:01
