[03:38] <bjsnider> i'm trying to submit updated scripts so gecko-mediaplayer will build in raring, but i can't find the lp branch
[03:38] <bjsnider> assuming there is one. otherwise i don't know what the procedure would be
[03:40] <bjsnider> it will not build now due to changes in the gecko sdk
[04:04] <trism> bjsnider: lp:ubuntu/gecko-mediaplayer , seems to still build though
[04:04] <bjsnider> where's the buildlog?
[04:10] <bjsnider> i think it was just copied over from an early quantal build
[04:11] <trism> bjsnider: yeah it was, I just rebuilt it locally, if you mean the build failure from quantal, that was fixed in 1.0.6-1ubuntu2
[04:14] <bjsnider> wait
[04:14] <bjsnider>  i just checked the changelog
[04:15] <bjsnider> someone already implemented the changes i was going to propose
[04:15] <bjsnider> that's good
[04:23] <bjsnider> i knew about the problem and the fix weeks before the build failure happened and the bug and fix were submitted. it seems like it would have been good if i had been notified of the build failure when it happened
[04:25] <bjsnider> well, about one week anyway
[04:48] <persia> bjsnider: You might look at the FTBFS page source for some code that does polling of build failures, and then run something similar that drives some notification system for the packages about which you wish to be notified.
[04:49] <persia> That said, most folk who have such knowledge post fixes to the upstream VCS or bug tracker (depending), which fixes are often cherrypicked by those Ubuntu developers working on FTBFS who prefer research to rediscovery.
[05:05] <mah454> I Compiled new kernel and switch to this , but consoles [tty1-6] (Ctrl+Alt+F[123456]) not work !
[05:05] <mah454> How can find problem and fix it ?
[05:05] <mah454> all options on drivers -> character devices enabled ...
[06:59] <TomFlint> hello
[14:31] <queency> hello all : can you tell me where is the logs of start-stop-daemon ?
[14:38] <infinity> queency: It doesn't log, its callers are responsible for logging, if appropriate.
[14:41] <queency> How can i direct the output to my open terminal ?
[15:00] <lfaraone> queency: this quesiton may be better answered in #ubuntu
[15:00] <lfaraone> "/script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='<nameofyourtimezone>';"
[17:02] <micahg> stgraber: https://code.launchpad.net/~vericalcroft/ubuntu/quantal/classmate-initramfs/added-misc-depends/+merge/125442 to WIP/rejected please
[17:26] <stgraber> micahg: done
[17:26] <micahg> stgraber: thanks
[21:44] <DNS> hi.. how to add an entry to the ubuntu software center, or in other words how to make it visible? is this info stored in a .desktop file?
[21:50] <DNS> should i rephrase? not sure if my question was clear
[21:52] <jtaylor> I think the info is in the desktop file
[21:53] <DNS> hm
[22:00] <DNS> do the icons in usc need to have min size?
[22:00] <DNS> probably
[22:00] <DNS> anyone knows which size exactly?
[22:01] <cjwatson> BenC: Looking at your linux-ppc package - since this is to be the primary set of kernels for powerpc, shouldn't it generate linux-libc-dev, not linux-ppc-libc-dev?  Otherwise libc won't actually end up depending on it, and will probably become uninstallable when we try to drop the NBS binaries from linux
[22:01] <DNS> or max size
[22:01] <cjwatson> BenC: Also, there's some debian/*/DEBIAN cruft
[22:01] <BenC> cjwatson: It's not going to generate that package at all
[22:01] <cjwatson> Indeed some general unclean-source-type stuff
[22:01] <cjwatson> BenC: Not going to generate which package?
[22:01] <BenC> cjwatson: the master linux package is still building linux-libc-dev
[22:02] <cjwatson> For all architectures, really?
[22:02] <jtaylor> DNS: the smallest size in share/icons is 16x16 I guess thats the minimum
[22:02] <cjwatson> I thought it wasn't going to build on powerpc at all any more
[22:02] <BenC> cjwatson: linux-ppc-libc-dev may show in the control file, but the rules have it forced to not build (in linux-ppc)
[22:02] <cjwatson> Oh, what do you know, it's still there.  OK
[22:02] <BenC> cjwatson: I talked with apw and rtg and we decided it was best to have it still built from linux.master
[22:02]  * cjwatson peers at linux
[22:03] <cjwatson> OK, gotcha.  5-minute linux build on powerpc, that's gotta be a first
[22:03] <psusi> it fail to build? ;)
[22:03] <BenC> Yeah, very tame :)
[22:05] <cjwatson> psusi: successful, but building only headers
[22:06] <cjwatson> BenC: Do you think you could fix up base-installer at some point to know about the new kernel names and conditions for using them?
[22:06] <cjwatson> It has a test suite and everything these days ;-)
[22:06] <BenC> cjwatson: Yeah, definitely
[22:07] <BenC> cjwatson: Is does base-installer cover livecd and alternate installer?
[22:08] <cjwatson> Latter yes, former sort of mostly
[22:08] <cjwatson> Probably simplest if I advise once I see the base-installer diff
[22:09] <cjwatson> Are the new kernel flavours for actual different subarchitectures (i.e. the existing powerpc-smp and powerpc64-smp won't boot), or are they optimised?
[22:09] <BenC> cjwatson: Also, I'll be working on grub-kexec starting tomorrow, since the e500* kernels depend on this missing package
[22:10] <cjwatson> OK
[22:10] <cjwatson> Hm, so that will block this from getting into raring which will in turn block the master kernels ...
[22:10] <cjwatson> I might end up forcing that for now
[22:10] <cjwatson> (NEWed, anyway, so it can build overnight)
[22:10] <BenC> Actual different sub-architectures. The regular kernels won't boot on e500* and the e500* kernels only work on those systems
[22:11] <BenC> Thanks
[22:11] <cjwatson> OK, so you end up with a ginormous live CD if you want that to boot on everything
[22:11] <cjwatson> I guess
[22:11] <BenC> Recommends: grub-kexec
[22:11] <cjwatson> Oh, that's OK then
[22:11] <BenC> Might be ok, since it isn't depends?
[22:11] <cjwatson> We're still waiting for linux-lowlatency to be updated anyway
[22:12] <BenC> cjwatson: yeah, and I'm unsure if we should just create a new CD for e500* or not
[22:12] <cjwatson> Can they handle DVDs?
[22:12] <cjwatson> Or USB?
[22:13] <BenC> USB, DVD if you have a USB capable external (our system doesn't have any CD/DVD media built-in)
[22:13] <cjwatson> If so I'd be inclined to suggest just bloating the image, as otherwise you're going to end up increasing the test matrix for any Ubuntu flavour including powerpc
[22:13] <BenC> I'm all for that
[22:13] <BenC> bloating the image, that is
[22:13] <cjwatson> anyway, gotta run
[22:14] <BenC> cjwatson: Thanks for processing the packages
[22:14] <cjwatson> np
