pittihrw: apport-collect deps> that's because there is no launchpadlib for python3, and barry wanted to kick out the python 2 modules from the default install05:45
pittihrw: you don't need the launchpadlib part for reporting bugs, so I at least introduced that error message to explain which package you need05:45
pittiinfinity, achiang: right, we don't quite need an explicit reference to valgrind -- just a kind of "shell" mode, i. e. you don't call apport-retrace on a .crash, but just on a binary05:47
=== chilicuil is now known as chilicuil_away
achiangpitti: hm, i hacked up something over the weekend and got a proof of concept working06:36
achiangpitti: https://plus.google.com/u/0/118015160828356291747/posts/E4zxGafqojD06:37
pittioh, nice!06:38
pittiachiang: btw, do you know if there are raring builds for the nexus7?06:39
achiangpitti: we are still blocked on nux. once we can test that, then people can start using raring06:39
achiangpitti: i'd like to get guidance from you on what i'm working on... right now i'm chasing out the SEGV's i introduced in valgrind, but in parallel, getting advice on direction for apport-valgrind would be good too06:40
achiangpitti: i think with a little extra work, we could potentially add automated valgrind support into our build infrastructure (if we wanted to)06:41
achiangand it would be super cool to hook it up to our daisie infrastructure too06:41
pittiachiang: there's certainly some small things, such as actually calling "which" instead of trying to figure it out yourself, not hardcoding DistroRelease (-> add_os_info()), and presumably some other code of apport-retrace can go as well, but we can clean that up later once it works06:46
achiangi actually just noticed that /usr/bin/valgrind messes with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but somehow valgrind itself doesn't seem to really care anyway06:47
=== cpg is now known as cpg|away
hrwpitti: I report bugs using web browser. apport-collect said that will do nothing wihtout launchpadlib07:24
pitticorrect07:24
hrwpitti: so maybe (like xnox suggested) split it out of apport?07:25
pittiI don't really fancy that, TBH; at some point we'll get python3-launchpadlib, and everything will just work again07:25
pittiand splitting it out wouldn't buy that much, you need to install an extra package either way07:26

margaseb128, just wrote a long reply to you... It seems I'm in verbose mode today16:28
seb128marga, hey16:28
margaseb128, just call me Marga, please... I don't like my full name that much.16:28
seb128marga, noted, sorry about that ;-)16:28
slangasekjelmer: hmm, interesting.  do you know what startpar was waiting for?16:29
jelmerslangasek: ps suggested it wasn't waiting for any child processes, at least. I haven't dug further, but can do so on next boot.16:30
slangasekyeah, it probably wasn't waiting for child processes but instead got confused about what jobs it could/couldn't start vs. jobs it was waiting for upstart to start for it16:30
seb128marga, ok, just read your reply, thanks for explaining the config.vapi thing, that explains why I was having no issue on raring ;-) Your first solution seems good to me, I will sponsor the precise and quantal debdiff you added to the bug, thanks for the work!16:31
margaseb128, yay, thanks for the sponsoring :)16:31
seb128then we need the SRU team to review some of the queue...16:31
seb128which is another story16:31
* seb128 looks at slangasek16:31
margaYes, I know.16:31
seb128slangasek, hey, had a good thanksgiving? ;-)16:31
slangasekseb128: hi ;)16:32
seb128slangasek, I've been told that there is nothing like reviewing some SRUs to digest turkey, just saying :p16:32
* marga wonders... What's with the nick...16:32
seb128marga, like vorlon betteR?16:33
* marga nods16:33
seb128;-)16:33
jelmerslangasek: oh, and I got an error from initctl saying DEVNAME was not a valid event (?), perhaps that's related16:33
jelmerslangasek: possibly coming from cryptdisks-early.conf ?16:34
slangasekjelmer: ah, could be16:34
slangasekjelmer: I haven't tested this with cryptsetup yet in unstable; I know that there are some cryptsetup upstart jobs in the Debian package and they may be "misaligned" wrt the init scripts in some way16:36
margaseb128, I've done a number of patches already and I'll probably do more during 2013.  Is the debdiff the preferred way? Should I be doing them differently?16:48
ScottKSome people prefer debdiff.  Some people prefer bzr branches.16:48
margaOuch16:48
Laneypeople should be able to work with either16:48
seb128marga, welcome to Ubuntu :p16:49
margaYes, but I want to do what's more comfortable for the sponsors.16:49
seb128marga, I think debdiff is a safe bet, especially for SRUs16:49
margaI guess it would be more comfortable to just have upload rights, but right now it's a complicated copyright issue, so I'd rather not have them for my @google self.16:50
seb128marga, I would say that debdiff are easy enough to deal with everybody that they are the best option16:51
seb128marga, you will have people who prefer a merge request on the Vcs listed in the control file if there is one, but even often those Vcs are only for the current serie and not branched for stable ... so we default to debdiffs for stable update16:51
margaRight16:52
margaI guess I should get myself more comfortable with bzr for upstream patches, like the ones I sent to this activity-log-manager project today.16:52
* cjwatson tries to work out how copyright is different for submitted patches vs. direct uploads16:52
margacjwatson, no, I don't understand it either.16:53
margaBut they told me that if I uploaded stuff, I'd lose copyright for my @debian self.16:53
margaSo, I'm still trying to figure it out.16:53
seb128marga, the merge requests, it's summarize on http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-sponsorship.html ... but it's basically "bzr branch lp:<project>; cd project; HACK; bzr commit; bzr push lp:~id/project/branch-name; bzr lp-open; click on the "propose to merge" and file the description etc"16:57
* marga stores this in a file.16:58

margaI wonder if they have been filtered into some folder without me realizing.17:18
seb128marga, I'm not sure if you are supposed to get one or not in fact, I'm never on the sponsored side... it might be just whoever sign the upload which gets the emails17:21
margaYes, I think it's that, I just reviewed and couldn't find any mails of package processing for the debdiffs I've done up to now.17:21
seb128ok ;-)17:22
ximionseb128: hi! do you know if it will be possible to use systemd-logind APIs in Ubuntu?17:30
seb128ximion, hey, I don't think it is at the moment17:31
ximionor does every program which wants to make use of similar features have to use some upstart-API?17:31
seb128slangasek's team has plans to look at what we can do on that front at some point I think, maybe check with slangasek or jodh17:32
ximionI know the systemd stuff is controversial in Ubuntu, but this might lead to issues later, since many projects require systemd-logind or ConsoleKit, and I don't know Ubuntu's plans for both tools17:32
seb128ximion, what api do you need from logind?17:33
ximionseb128: usually interfacing with the session and e.g. controlling shutdowns etc.17:34
seb128ximion, the session is at the gnome-session level no?17:35
ximionwe use it upstream in the PackageKit project for various things - I also use systemd here, so for me this is no issue, but it would be cool to make some of the features available to Ubuntu users too17:35
seb128ximion, well, your call as an upstream I guess17:35
seb128but I'm sure users would appreciate if you don't tide your software to an init systemd ;-)17:36
ximionseb128: sd-logind can take control of the session and manage it instead, so it can replace the existing desktop-specific managers17:36
ximionseb128: people can use ConsoleKit instead :) - and that option won't vanish soon17:36
seb128right17:37
seb128ximion, well, anyway it would be useful if you made a list of the logind api/features you need and maybe send an email on ubuntu-devel@lists.u.c about it17:37
ximionbut knowing where https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/RaringUpstartUserSessions leads us might be nice :)17:38
seb128ximion, we for sure want to figure at some point how we deal with those needs in Ubuntu, which might be either by integrating logind or by implementing compatible dbus interface somewhere in our stack17:38
ximionseb128: I expected something like that, which would work, I guess. Last time I talked to Lennart about this, he said that this won't be possible, because logind relies on interfaces provided by systemd17:39
=== mcclurmc is now known as mcclurmc_away
ximionfor now, disabling that set of features in Ubuntu makes sense (I already do that for non-Linux ports of Debian, and so far everyone is happy)17:40
seb128ximion, well, maybe we can "make it fit" with some hacking17:41
seb128or maybe not and we need to figure how to reimplement those17:41
seb128it would still help to know what list of APIs you need, what we lack is a list of "useful things we should provide"17:41
seb128systemd does lot of things we don't want/need everything that is there17:42
ogra-cbwe could always stay with consolekit and patch it to hell over time17:42
seb128ogra-cb, well, the issue is that code writers will want to use the systemd apis for some stuff, like inhibitions of logout,suspend,etc17:44
seb128ogra-cb, so ideally we want nice apis (and if possible compatible ones) for that as well17:45
seb128ogra-cb, ck has issues and I'm not sure it makes sense to add those to ck17:45
seb128graa17:46
ogra-cboh, indeed17:46
seb128hate powerpc17:46
ximionseb128: what is the stuff you don't like about systemd?17:46
* ximion wants to get rid of CK as soon as possible17:46
seb128builds start in almost 10 hours17:46
seb128I guess my uploads will stay in raring-proposed for today17:46
micahgseb128: sulfur went missing17:48
seb128ximion, I've personally nothing against systemd, but I've nothing again upstart either ... we have an init system that works fine, is well integrated in our distro, our init scripts are made for it, our documentation is for it, our users wrote scripts for it ... I just don't feel like a big motivation to go through the work of breaking and replacing all that for not gaining anything17:48
seb128ximion, e.g we have better things to do that go through an init system replacement17:48
cjwatsonseb128: We've been waiting several days for a UK DCE to get to it; I'm assured it'll happen tomorrow17:49
seb128micahg, yeah, that's the issue with powerpc, one builder goes missing and your are screwed for the next half a day :-(17:49
seb128cjwatson, that's good news, thanks17:49
ximionseb128: sounds reasonable, for now - since Raring will still contain CK (will it?) I think waiting and watching is the best thing to do at time17:51
seb128ximion, yes, we don't plan to drop CK (yet) ... still having an email with the apis you need as a software writer would be useful ;-)17:52
ximionseb128: yes, but adding three ways to a software to implement somathing, e.g. CK, sd-logind and $NEW_API won't be accepted by the other developers ;-)17:53
ximionknowing what is actually required is certainly a good thing, but the answer will almost certainly be: removing CK in the most cases17:54
=== patr|ck_ is now known as patr|ck
seb128ximion, well, what I'm saying is that having the sd-logind APIs you need listed would give use a list of APIs we should provide17:56
seb128ximion, I don't suggest we come with $NEW_API, just that we want to provide those same API one way or another on Ubuntu (using logind, reimplementing the server side, ..)17:57
ximionseb128: I'll do that then :)17:57
seb128ximion, thanks17:57
ximionI don't know if you want offline-update support in Ubuntu, as this would require much more work (for little gain at time, without btrfs), so we could skip that, maybe17:58
seb128yeah, I don't think we want that atm17:59
xnoxximion: but we do have lvm & btrfs snapshots available. What do you mean by 'offline-update'?17:59
xnoxalso we already have apt-btrfsnapshot integration.17:59

=== scott-work is now known as Guest83303
ximionxnox, seb128: the offline-upgrade feature uses lots of systemd-specific stuff, like generators http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators18:55
ximionbut it is working fine here18:56
ximionthis stuff is useful for distro upgradees, because for normal updates it doesn't make that much sense (I was confused too when the idea came up, but implementing it was actually very good - unfortunately, the media got it wrong :P)18:56
ximionI only use the systemd stuff, so I don't have any idea how hard it would be to recreate something similar18:57

bitshufflerHello. I have a hard time trying to get conditionals working within a rules file. I would like to set $ARCH to x86_64 when building for 64 bit: http://pastebin.com/811cfvfV However I always end up in the 32 bit / else branch but "echo `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH`" returns amd64. Any ideas what I am missing?20:01
jtaylorbitshuffler: isn't there a shell missing? $(shell dpkg-...)20:05
jtaylorbitshuffler: also not that HOST_ARCH only covers linux20:06
jtaylorbitshuffler: on kfreebsd it returns something else, you may want to use DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU20:06
jtaylorbitshuffler: and drop the quotes on amd6420:08
=== lifeless_ is now known as lifeless
bitshufflerjtaylor: you are right, adding shell fixed it. Also thanks a lot for the pointer re DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU :)20:13
micahgbitshuffler: DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU is actually want you want if you want x86_6420:15
micahgok, I'm confused now, why is DEB_BUILD_* and DEB_HOST_* the same in my 32 bit chroot on my 64 bit system...20:18
slangasek?20:19
micahgor did I confuse the purpose of those again20:19
dupondjenobody hits https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1073649 ? :s20:20
bitshufflermicahg: but is that reliable, e.g. here it returns i686. What happens if I build on some very old computer that is i386 or i586?20:20
micahgbitshuffler: you just asked for what it would show on 64 bit systems :)20:20
jtaylorbitshuffler: I think you should HOST_ARCH_* because of that20:20
slangasekmicahg: it's a 32-bit install; why would you expect DEB_* to be different?20:20
slangasekthey only differ when cross-compiling20:21
bitshufflermicahg: heh, true, thanks :)20:21
micahgslangasek: ah, that's the bit I keep confusing :)20:21
micahgbitshuffler: so, you want DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU :)20:21
jtaylorthat will also give i68620:21
micahgjtaylor: yeah, I meant instead of DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU20:21
bitshufflerjtaylor: sounds like what I want :) What is * in that case? Or do you know where I can find a list of all vars and their meaning that are available since that is what I'm having a hard time with?20:22
slangasekalways use DEB_HOST_* when querying details about the system that will /host/ the code you're building20:22
* micahg shouldn't have skipped the glossary in the man page :-/20:23
micahgnow it finally makes sense :)20:24
jtaylorand ARCH_* is always going to match the distribution architecture20:24
jtaylor(I think)20:24
slangasekwell, all information dpkg-architecture spits out is relative to a distribution architecture20:25
jtaylorslangasek: even when you have a i486 cpu BUILD_GNU_CP U will output i686?20:26
bitshufflerBut how can I see what variables are available on which I can rely (as in do not change between any release, which is why I don't want to rely on 'env' output for $distro I'm building for)?20:27
slangasekjtaylor: see for yourself: $ dpkg-architecture -ai38620:27
slangasek(and if you have an i486 cpu, you're not running Ubuntu)20:28
jtaylorfor what do you need the GNU_* things in practice?20:28
slangasekjtaylor: they're what you want to pass as arguments to GNU autotools20:29
slangasekwell, _GNU_SYSTEM anyway20:29
slangaseker, sorry, _GNU_TYPE20:29
slangasekthe others, I don't think I use in practice, but someone might20:29
jtaylordoesn'T gnu support building for 386?20:30
slangasekyes, but Ubuntu doesn't20:30
slangasekdpkg-architecture isn't a tool for targeting arbitrary GNU targets; it's a tool for targeting supported architectures20:31
hallynzul: smoser: have either of you used hugeadm at all to manage hugepages?20:31
zulhallyn: havent20:31
hallynFor integrating hugepages into qemu-kvm/libvirt, i'm trying to figure out whether to go with hugeadm or do it using sysctl and mount20:32
bitshufflerhm, since those packages are just for ubuntu and perhaps debian I think I rely on querying dpkg-architecture. Thanks a lot for your help once again :)20:35
