Awk9000do i just have to change the config file to M for modules and then recompile the kernel?04:46
Awk9000and then I can just compile the compat-wireless drivers from source riiiiiiiiiiiiiight?04:47
Awk9000meep?04:47

dholbachgood morning08:03
dholbachogra: good morning - how is the raring image looking? :)08:45
janimodholbach,  I have just installed the raring image. It needed an external keyboard here to get throught the installer09:15
janimoartifacts in X, but I use it via ssh now do do non-X stuff so it's fine for me09:15
janimobut the nux/unity bugfix is not yet in the image09:15
dholbachreally? the nux/unity thing is waiting for ages now :-/09:16
ogra_dholbach, well, waiting for a nux patch09:51
ogra_oh, jani said that already :)09:51
dholbach<sil2100> dholbach: it's still being tested, this branch09:52
dholbach dholbach: currently it diverged from trunk anyway, so I think Jay needs to re-merge it with lp:nux09:52
ogra_onboard is usable in the installer09:52
dholbach<sil2100> dholbach: since anyway it cannot be approved, as there are text conflicts ;)09:52
ogra_you just need to switch it on and switch off orca09:52
dholbach<sil2100> dholbach: I have no nexus7, but I was able to test-build it on my pandaboard and send the whole re-built unity stack it to people responsible09:52
dholbach dholbach: so I think we might have it reviewed soon09:52
ogra_(planning to research today why it comes up that way)09:52
ogra_generally the images are fine though, apart from the unity/nux breakage09:53
ogra_the "black bar instead of panel shadow" bug is also back09:53
dholbachogra_, but I see that in regular quantal too sometimes09:57
ogra_well, it was supposed to be fixed with the PPA packages09:57
ogra_(for quantal that is)09:57
ogra_you didnt upgrade your device with -security or -updates, did you ?09:58
dholbachogra_, sorry I meant on, my regular laptop installation09:59
ogra_oh09:59
ogra_that surely shouldnt happen09:59
ogra_xnox, can you add the PPA URL to bug 1082364 ?10:20
ubot2Launchpad bug 1082364 in ubuntu-nexus7 "android debugger bridge cant be install on ubuntu on nexus 7" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/108236410:20
* ogra_ forgot which PPA that was in10:20
xnoxogra_: why is the PPA relevant to that bug?10:21
ogra_xnox, well, because i doubt anyone wants to SRU the package :)10:22
xnoxogra_: I only uploaded backported android-fs-tools into the virtualised PPA which has the installer which does not build for armhf. So you won't get adb on quantal through that.10:22
ogra_oh, ok10:23
xnoxogra_: or are you after mk_ext4fs for the automated cdimage? then you are free to pull source/binaries for lucid from the installer ppa.10:23
ogra_no, i'm after adb for that bug :)10:23
xnoxogra_: I could backport adb to the ppa, but I'd rather people switch to raring to get that =)))))10:24
ogra_if the user has an opportunity to get it for his release i can close it10:24
ogra_oh, indeed10:24
xnoxcurrently there is no "easy" opportunity to get that package on quantal.10:24
ogra_xnox, https://launchpad.net/~ogra/+archive/ppa/+packages11:07
ogra_;)11:07
xnoxogra_: phhhh..... I wonder who you bribe to get arm builders =)11:09
ogra_i use the canonical-arm-dev PPA to build them11:09
ogra_and then copy over binaries and source11:09
xnoxcheat11:12
ogra_want access ?11:12
xnoxnot really needed so far =)11:13
hrwxnox: which package?11:14
xnoxhrw: the android-tools, since the one in raring builds all of them for armhf as well, while in previous releases it was only built for x86.11:20
xnoxhrw: bug ogra now built the backport in a ppa.11:20
xnoxs/bug/but/11:20
xnox^^^^11:20
hrwxnox: SRU it11:35
xnoxhrw: in my opinion this change does not qualify for an SRU, but rather a backport. As it introduces new binary packges post-release. One could say it's "hardware enablement SRU" but it is pushing it, since it's hardly secure boot.11:40
xnoxhrw: I'd rather encourage people to run raring and focus on raring development.11:41
=== chihchun is now known as zz_chihchun
xnoxhrw: feel free to file SRU request if you want it in quantal/precise =) I just don't have time to work on that.11:41
=== Johnswing is now known as Jswing
hrwxnox: I use only raring for development and when someone says "I am running latest ubuntu" meaning 'last release' I laugh ;D11:44
xnox;-)11:45
xnoxhrw: but then I have to write lucid compatible code to be deployed in the DC *sigh* .....11:45
hrwaugh11:47
hrwI do have 2 precise boxes - my server and router11:47
* xnox bets $0.02 they were running precise before the precise release date.11:47
hrwserver was natty->overic->precise in 3 days11:53
hrwbuild precise iirc before release11:53
brendandxnox, a whole 2c! i want in12:04
xnoxbrendand: well when I bet $0.07 you know I'm bluffing. It's a fine art betting multiples of small blind bets.12:11
ogra_ah, great12:36
ogra_i found the issue why orca shows up in ubiquity-dm instead of onboard12:36
xnoxogra_: share the news =)12:42
xnoxbootargs?12:42
ogra_yeah, sadly12:42
ogra_(means i need to update them after install)12:43
xnoxogra_: do you need a new accessibility setting? or like a way to detect a missing keyboard?12:43
ogra_i think we have a bug open for the latter12:43
ogra_not related to ubiquity though12:44
xnoxack.12:44
ogra_no, i dont need a new function, i think the way it works is fine12:44
ogra_just need to adapt to it in my code, we need to update the cmdline anyway for UUID stuff12:44
=== albert is now known as Guest17426
brendandogra-cb, what's the difference between pkexec and gksu13:43
ogra_pkexec is part of policykit and uses the policykit ACLs for access13:44
ogra_gksu is just a sudo UI13:44
brendandogra_ - i'm not au fait with policykit13:47
ogra_well, its the default authentication technique we use for desktop apps13:47
brendandogra_ - it looks like we'd lose the ability to customise the message shown to the user - unless that was added to pkexec13:47
ogra_since a few releases already13:47
ogra_it uses consolekit to determine your permissions13:48
ogra_gksu isnt vanishing from the archive in case you ant to use it in your app (to be able to set the shown message)13:49
ogra_but it will be removed from the default install13:50
ogra_brendand, oh, and according to the manpage you can actually set the message13:51
brendandogra_ - speaking of problems with gksu. is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7/+bug/1078696 gone in the raring image?13:52
ubot2Launchpad bug 1078696 in ubuntu-nexus7 "gksu does not accept sudo password on the Nexus7" [Low,Confirmed]13:52
ogra_(a bit more complex than just using a cmdline option indeed)13:52
ogra_brendand, it will be gone once gksu is gone from the image ... the bug will still be in gksu13:52
ogra_unless upstream cares to fix it i guess13:53
brendandogra_ - oh i see, we have to create a config file to do it13:53
brendandogra_ - at least it's possible13:53
ogra_yeah, some xml crap13:53
brendandhurray, xml :/13:54
ogra_heh13:54
ogra_awesome !13:54
ogra_my onboard fix for oem-config works just fine13:54
brendandogra_ - so even now on the quantal preinstall image if i run my app using pkexec it will accept the password?13:54
ogra_to sad it didnt make the daily build that just started :(13:55
ogra_yes13:55
* ogra_ ponders to add the slideshow back to the image ... 13:58
ogra_we're size wise on the edge so i'm not sure i shoudl do that until we have found a better compression method13:59
ogra_but the installer looks so ugly13:59
=== prpplague^2 is now known as prpplague
xnoxogra_: new ubiquity uploaded which should allow to install from sd-card to the remaining space of the sd-card without partitioning it first on a panda.15:37
ogra-cbyeah. i saw the commits pasing by the last days already, awesome !!!!15:38

ogra-cbearly last week16:28
ssweenyoh nice16:28
ogra-cbwe're still waiting for the nux fix ... so the desktop stuff is pretty broken16:28
xnoxogra-cb: wow, it built today \0/ well done =))))16:28
xnoxah.16:28
ogra-cbbut you can run apps and blindly tap on the UI16:28

Tassadarogra-cb: by the way, is initrd in Raring using different compression?18:26
ogra-cbnop18:29
ogra-cbjust ubuntu defaults everywhere18:31
Tassadarthat is weird, i downloaded the boot.img for raring to see what is different, but gzip says it cannot extract initrd.img18:31
Tassadargzip: initrd.cpio.gz: not in gzip format18:31
ogra-cbhow did you pull it out of the bootimg ?18:32
Tassadarabootimg -x18:32
ogra-cbhmm, that should work18:32
ogra-cboh, apparently is lzma18:33
ogra-cbmust be a change in the build system18:33
ogra-cbthe installed initrd is definitely gzip18:34
Tassadaryeah, it is lzma18:34
Tassadar(well, cpio.lzma)18:35
ogra-cbyes18:35
ogra-cbsorry for telling you wrong, i wasnt aware, seems to be a change in live-vuild18:35
ogra-cb*build18:35
Tassadarhmm, looks like I'm gonna have to do the same ugly thing as I did with 12.10 to multi-boot it. Well, at least I probably won't have to edit the root images18:39
