[00:03] <stgraber> slangasek: bug 1086612
[00:03] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1086612 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "plymouth isn't working in lxc containers" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1086612
[00:06] <stgraber> slangasek: as for ureadahead, it attempts to write to debugfs which isn't allowed in containers (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/fs/do_sys_open/enable). We're not allowing that path for obvious reasons as kernel tracing from a container would let the user access everything that's going on on the host and any other containers.
[00:06] <slangasek> stgraber: ta, will see what I can figure out there
[00:07] <slangasek> stgraber: right, but ureadahead should also fail gracefully with minimal impact on the system, shouldn't it?
[00:08] <stgraber> slangasek: sure, none of the failures I'm trying to fix are causing breakage or we'd have fixed them a while ago. I'm just trying to get /var/log/upstart into a reasonable state on a clean container :)
[00:09] <stgraber> as currently we're getting errors in there at every boot because of those various jobs failing
[00:09] <slangasek> stgraber: heh, I don't even have that clean on a real system :P
[00:11] <stgraber> slangasek: well, I'm certainly ignoring the usual ones (networking, procps, ...) where the output is actually useful to have and those jobs are actually working :)
[00:12] <slangasek> stgraber: I'm certainly ok with improving the code to not output spurious errors, I just am reluctant to see this done by adding further complexity to the job start rules
[00:21] <slangasek> stgraber: please make lxc-create fail when given a --dir argument pointing to an already-existing directory :P
=== fisted_ is now known as fisted
[00:57] <stgraber> slangasek: oh, interesting, I never looked at the "dir" backingstore plugin but yeah, it's definitely broken, will add that to my todo unless hallyn beats me to fixing it (as I believe that's his code ;))
[00:58] <slangasek> stgraber: heh :)
[00:59] <stgraber> it's the first time I use any of the fancy alternate backingstore, I tend to just use the default, which happens to properly check for existing rootfs :)

[16:55] <slangasek> barry: and that's the time the machine booted?
[16:56] <barry> slangasek: no, it's in the stalled state right now
[16:56] <dholbach> didrocks, You're a hero!
[16:56] <slangasek> barry: er, the machine is booted, it just doesn't have lightdm running
[16:56] <didrocks> dholbach: I wasn't alone, but thanks :)
[16:56] <dholbach> awesome
[16:56] <barry> slangasek: sorry, yes, correct
[16:56] <ogra_> dholbach, two heros !

[16:57] <dholbach> :-)
[16:57]  * dholbach hugs you all
[16:57] <barry> slangasek, jodh: there's nothing in the upstart logs that standout to me
[16:57] <slangasek> barry: did timestamps on /var/log/lightdm/* or /var/log/Xorg.* update?
[16:59] <barry> slangasek: lightdm logs all show 11:35 or :36 today, so in line with upstart logs
[16:59] <slangasek> barry: hmmm.  and the contents of those logs?
[16:59] <barry> same with xorg
[16:59] <barry> slangasek: yep, looking now
[16:59] <slangasek> barry: best to attach them to the bug report

[17:10] <slangasek> barry: and the lightdm.log that's attached is definitely from this latest boot?
[17:10] <barry> slangasek, jodh: interestingly, re bug 969489.  if i chvt 1 then sudo start lightdm, i get the greeter window

[17:10] <slangasek> barry: because at +3.62s, there's something interesting happening
[17:10] <barry> slangasek: definitely
[17:11] <slangasek> barry: yes, I would fully expect 'sudo start lightdm' to work; that's not dispositive of it being related to bug #969489
[17:11] <barry> do you mean the "greeter start authenitication for barry" and beyond bit?
[17:12] <barry> slangasek: ^^
[17:12] <slangasek> yes
[17:13] <slangasek> oh, I bet "start" just means that's the user that was last selected, and whose password box is popped up
[17:13] <barry> that makes more sense (and is what happens)
[17:15] <slangasek> barry: can you show the output of this command, please: grep -l 'start on runlevel .2345' /etc/init/*

[17:16] <barry> mine never drops into low-graphics mode, but it might be worth playing with some of the lightdm start hacks mentioned in bug 969489
[17:16] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 969489 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/969489
[17:26] <slangasek> barry: hmm, how about this: grep -l 'start on runlevel .2345' /etc/init/* | xargs grep -lE 'kill|stop'
[17:26] <barry> slangasek: oops, i just rebooted it (but i saved the state, so hang on a sec)
[17:27] <slangasek> er, wait, that one's not useful
[17:27] <slangasek> grep -l '^start on runlevel .2345' /etc/init/* | xargs grep -l kill
[17:31] <barry> slangasek: i'm back in the stalled state.  that command returns nothing
[17:32] <slangasek> barry: ok. what it comes down to, I think, is that something non-standard is killing lightdm that shouldn't be; /var/log/lightdm.log gives us enough info to know the pid of what's doing the killing, but not the name.  Given that at and cron have just started, it *could* be a strange cronjob or at job; it's more likely to be something called from an upstart job; booting with --verbose and cross-referencing that output against the 'initctl
[17:32] <slangasek> ... and the /var/log/lightdm.log from the same boot *may* help isolate this
[17:33] <slangasek> barry: is this a pristine install of quantal?  no chance of extra or modified jobs in /etc/init/
[17:33] <slangasek> ?
[17:33] <barry> slangasek: it's running raring, but probably upgraded from quantal->precise->raring
[17:33] <slangasek> ok
[17:34] <slangasek> so you've said it's not reproducible with a clean precise userspace; have you checked with a freshly installed raring userspace?
[17:34] <barry> slangasek: i haven't but that's a good thing to try
[17:34] <barry> slangasek: can you (or i will) paste your longer message above into the bug?
[17:36] <barry> slangasek: so i think at this point, it's worth bringing up a fresh raring and seeing what happens.  i'll follow up on the bug report once i've done that.  for now... lunch :)
[17:37] <slangasek> barry: dumped that to the bug, along with some further thoughts
[17:38] <barry> thanks!

[18:34] <jono> is anyone else experiencing random lockups in raring?
[18:34] <jono> Unity seems to lock up
[18:35] <jono> and if I switch to a virtual terminal and back it is fine
[18:35] <seb128> jono, when did that start?
[18:35] <jono> seb128, I noticed it at the end of last week
[18:35] <jono> I do get a "I detected a lockup" error
[18:35] <seb128> not sure what changed around that time but it's not a known issue afaik
[18:35] <jono> and I mention it happens a few times a day
[18:35] <seb128> seems like an #ubuntu-x question/issue
[18:35] <jono> but then I am not sure if that data goes anywhere
[18:36] <jono> seb128, will mention in there
[18:36] <seb128> jono, the data should go to errors.ubuntu.com
[18:36] <jono> seb128, ok, there doesnt seem to be confirmation that the data was sent
[18:37] <seb128> jono, no, there is none, I think it's a design decision to get out of the user way as much as possible, it's a fire and forget dialog
[18:37] <jono> I see
[18:37] <jono> np
[18:38] <jono> thanks seb128
[18:38] <seb128> jono, yw!
[18:44] <seb128> jono, you can try to run: firefox 'http://errors.ubuntu.com/user/'$(printf $(sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid) | sha512sum)

[19:01] <marrusl> Hello.  I'm having some trouble with multi-arch dependencies.  I understand apt and dpkg understand :any for build-deps, but do they understand :any for regular depends?  I am not having luck with this.
[19:01] <marrusl> the depended-on package is marked "multi-arch: allowed"
[19:05] <exilarch> http://vbox7.com/play:4c0c38de34
[19:08] <jtaylor> isn't the :any implicit if the dependency is allowed?
[19:13] <marrusl> jtaylor, i think that would be the case if the depended-on package was marked "multi-arch: foreign", but with "m-a: allowed" I think the :any is needed.
[19:13] <marrusl> or else a 32-bit package depending on it will still insist on :i386
[19:14] <jtaylor> right allowed is only for arch all
[19:15] <marrusl> so in this case i'm testing gdb which is in -proposed now with "m-a: allowed" (it was explained to me that "foreign" wouldn't be correct for something like gdb)
[19:16] <marrusl> and when I create a dummy 32 bit package that depends on gdb:any, it's not working.
[19:16] <marrusl> i may retry on raring or quantal.  though this is intended for precise.
[19:19] <micahg> AIUI, binary :any is only recognized on raring+
[19:21] <marrusl> micahg, aha.  that could be it.  i'll recheck on raring.  thanks!
[19:37] <slangasek> marrusl, jtaylor: :any is intended only for use with packages that are M-A: allowed (and has nothing to do with whether the package is Arch: all).  This should work with apt and dpkg as for back as oneiric.
[19:37] <slangasek> whether it's *allowed* in the archive is another question
[19:38] <slangasek> micahg: do you have a source for the claim that :any is only recognized post-raring?  This was supposed to have been supported all along
[19:38] <marrusl> slangasek, oh no, no worries.  we know it's not going there.  :)
[19:38] <micahg> slangasek: oh, hrm, I thought dpkg had issues with it and that was the problem
[19:38] <slangasek> yeah - but it should *definitely* work in precise
[19:38] <marrusl> I must be doing something wrong.  I have to run afk for a bit, but I'll go back over it when I get back.
[19:38] <slangasek> micahg: not that I was aware
[19:39] <slangasek> marrusl: right, so I'm not sure why you're having the problem that you are; it was on my radar to try to test this locally but I haven't gotten to it yet
[19:40] <marrusl> slangasek, ok.  I'll catch up with you later after I retry.
[19:40] <marrusl> thanks

[21:08] <phillw> Hi folks, is there a way to pull in a release from debian/unstable? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libguestfs/+bug/1086974/comments/2
[21:08] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1086974 in libguestfs (Ubuntu) "libguestfs: error: cannot find any suitable libguestfs supermin" [Undecided,New]
[21:11] <tumbleweed> phillw: it needs to be merged. xnox touched it last, prod prod
[21:11] <phillw> thanks tumbleweed
[21:14] <infinity> We're already up to date on libguestfs, unless it was mismerged.
[21:16] <tumbleweed> ah, I saw ubuntuX and didn't look at the version
[21:17] <phillw> infinity: I'm on Package: libguestfs-tools 1:1.18.5-2 the newer one is 1.18.5-3
[21:18] <tumbleweed> phillw: 1:1.18.10-1ubuntu2 is published
[21:18] <infinity> phillw: Oh, you're running Quantal.
[21:18] <slangasek> phillw: the new version is merged in raring, not in quantal
[21:18] <phillw> I'm on quantal, do I need to grab this from raring?
[21:19] <slangasek> if you're requesting that this be fixed in quantal in particular, you'll need to 'nominate for release' on the bug.  But if you just want to test, yes, you should be able to grab the package from raring.
[21:20] <phillw> I'm okay with temp allowing raring to test. which deb would it be? (universe / main etc..) So I can add it, then disable to confirm it works for Q
[21:21] <slangasek> phillw: you can find the .deb in launchpad by browsing https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libguestfs/
[21:21] <slangasek> (click on version; click on architecture; find .deb file on page and click)

[21:37] <phillw> infinity: ooh.. depedency hell :P Let me have a play.
[21:55]  * infinity facepalms as he realises that the linux32 personality for aarch64 is armv8l instead of armv7l.
[21:55] <infinity> That's remarkably... Useless.
[21:56] <infinity> But at least they have a 32-bit personality to fix.
[21:58] <slangasek> armv8l - that's just the name, yes?
[22:17] <infinity> slangasek: It's what "linux32 uname -m" produces on an aarch64 kernel.
[22:17] <infinity> slangasek: About as useless as if x86_64 said "i786" instead of the much more pleasant lie of "i686".
[22:17] <slangasek> right
[22:19] <infinity> Anyhow, I think I'll bug someone about that, since the most obvious use-case for "linux32" most of the world over is "building brain-dead software on a 64-bit host", all of which has configure scripts looking for armv7l. :P
[22:42] <phillw> slangasek: how do I add a 'nominate for release' to the bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libguestfs/+bug/1086974/comments/3

[22:42] <phillw> zero regression risk, as it didn't use to work :D
[22:48] <mwhudson> that's the "upstream developer thinks ubuntu is stupid" bug?
[22:59] <slangasek> phillw: there should be a link with that as its title; or maybe 'Target to release'
[23:00] <cjwatson> You only get either if you're in at least ubuntu-bugcontrol
[23:03] <slangasek> ah
[23:03] <slangasek> right, I assumed phillw was
[23:03] <phillw> cjwatson: slangasek I'll go a hunting 'TheLordOfTime" in that case :) But, it does work and I hope I've put enough information on there for you guys to allow it into 'Q'.
