cjwatsonI've changed queue's default behaviour to exact-match, now that bug 33700 is fixed; ubuntu-archive-tools r679.10:21
ubot2`Launchpad bug 33700 in Launchpad itself "could queue filters match source as well as binaries?" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3370010:21
LaneyPlease someone look at releasing glib2.0 into q-updates to deal with banshee uninstallability there10:29
cjwatsonLaney: seems reasonable - done.  At some point in the near future could you please remember to check on bug 1044322?10:32
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1044322 in GLib "indicator-messages-service crashed with assert in g_menu_exporter_name_vanished()" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104432210:32
cjwatsonWe should get clearer data once it's in -updates, and if it isn't improving then we'll need to reopen that bug10:32
LaneyYeah. I'll keep a tab open. Thanks.10:34
LaneyI suppose it's encouraging that neither the -proposed or raring versions of indicator-messages see the crash10:37
Laneyas those users will likely have new enough glib installed10:37

mterryinfinity, I just uploaded a new compiz to precise-proposed.  I was hoping to get it in before end of week/end of year to enable more testing and hopefully get it into 12.04.217:12
mterryinfinity, this is the one that enables unredirect for non-intel/nouveau machines17:13
cjwatsonHas anyone done any kind of verification of current precise images on non-SB?17:54
cjwatsonJust wondering if we might be able to release this mess before the shutdown17:54
xnoxcjwatson: jenkins is green =)17:57
xnox(but that simply does fully presseded desktop/server cds)17:57
xnoxfrom 21st of November there were no reports submitted on iso tracker.18:01
xnox(against precise daily testing milestone)18:02
infinitycjwatson: How much of the snag still needs verification and promotion?  I haven't looked in a while.18:02
infinityHrm, lots...18:03
infinityshim, grub-installer, base-installer, debian-installer, ubiquity, ubuntu-defaults-builder, livecd-rootfs...18:04
cjwatsonYeah, but nearly all of that is that one bug :-)18:05
cjwatsonPossibly not absolutely all18:06
* xnox should retest ubiquity kernel-headers bug.18:06
infinitycjwatson: If any of the bits from the Big Bug of Doom can start moving along, we should probably just do this piecemeal instead of one big mess.18:33
infinitycjwatson: Since tracking verification for 20 packages in one bug is lollerskatingly difficult.18:33
slangasekinfinity: I don't think there's any useful piecemeal verification to be done; the bug is "SB support" and that requires the whole set18:35
infinityslangasek: Well, we've done piecemeal verification to keep the kernel moving along, for instance.  If we know that shim now works as we want it, that could promote, etc.18:36
infinityslangasek: But sure, I'm happy with a couple of people telling me "this set of 7 packages now looks good go".18:36
slangasekwell, since shim itself only comes into play once the installer+grub bits land, I'd say that can be promoted, yeah18:38
stgraberslangasek: still hoping to get a fix for the AMI/Lenovo unsigned kernel bug for 12.04.2?18:38
slangasekstgraber: yes; the initial promotion shouldn't block on this though18:39
slangasekespecially since I have di^W bisect gnu-efi18:39
infinityslangasek: Yes, that was sort of my point, was verifying in dependent layers, until we get to the top (d-i/ubiquity/livecd-rootfs) and call it done.18:39
stgraberright, we can always stack another SRU on top of it once we get a fix (and push to 12.10 too)18:39
xnoxwhat about chinese image failing to build?18:41
xnox linux-signed-generic-lts-quantal : Depends: linux-signed-image-generic-lts-quantal but it is not going to be installed18:42
slangasekinfinity: except the only two independent layers are "this SB-only stuff that's a no-op until integrated (shim*)" and "everything else" :)18:42
infinityslangasek: Fair enough.18:43
infinityxnox: Hrm?18:43
xnoxinfinity: ubuntu desktop chinese is failing to build for a while now, with that error. Yet regular image builds fine.18:43
infinityI see no reason that should fail...18:44
infinityJust tested here, nothing's in universe, etc...18:44
* xnox does wonder where am I getting these fail emails from. 1 sec.18:45
infinityhttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/precise/ubuntu-zh_CN/20121219/livecd-20121219-amd64.out18:46
infinityIt's definitely broken.  But... Why? :/18:46
stgraberI can reproduce the failure on a standard 12.04 system when installing linux-signed-generic-lts-quantal18:49
stgraber linux-signed-image-3.5.0-21-generic : Depends: sbsigntool but it is not installable18:49
infinityOh, I had -proposed enabled in my test.18:49
infinityWhich the livefs builds do too..18:49
infinityBut maybe zh_CN doesn't.18:50
stgraberright, sbsigntool is only in -proposed18:50
infinityThat, I can fix.18:50
xnoxinfinity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1450535/ looks odd. (diff of the two logs) chinese image is not doing UEFI thing at all?!18:51
stgraberxnox: correct. The defaults-builder image lack EFI18:51
stgraberI believe I filed a bug for that18:52
stgraberhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-defaults-builder/+bug/106815618:52
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1068156 in ubuntu-defaults-builder (Ubuntu Raring) "Images built using ubuntu-defaults-builder lack EFI support." [High,Triaged]18:52
xnoxand is that targeted for 12.04.2 SB enablment or not?18:53
stgraberwould first need to fix in raring :)18:53
infinityIs the ubuntu-defaults-builder in precise-proposed not meant to fix this?18:53
xnoxhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1075181 lists as ubuntu-defaults-builder "release in raring & committed in precise"18:53
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1075181 in ubuntu-defaults-builder (Ubuntu Precise) "Backport UEFI Secure Boot support for Ubuntu 12.04.2" [High,Fix committed]18:53
=== henrix is now known as henrix_
stgraberinfinity: my interpretation of the changelog is that this fixes the vmlinuz case, but it won't create the EFI directory or setup the shim and all those things18:55
stgraberinfinity: so in short, no18:55
infinityHrm.  This systems like a larger failure in u-d-b. :/18:56
infinityGiven that it's meant to be for customisation the official build process, not replacing it. :P18:56
infinitys/the/of the/18:56
xnox"Nov 23 13:03:19 *cjwatson enables -proposed for precise builds" infinity should chinese images be build with proposed as well then?18:58
infinityA bit more needs to be done than that.19:01
infinityThe Chinese image isn't getting the LTS kernel on the image at all (well, until we try to install -signed-, but that's not when we want it)19:02
infinityOh, wait, no.  I lied.  There it is.19:04
infinityYeah, just promoting some of this stuff should magically fix the Chinese image build, though it still might not actually DTRT, according to stgraber.19:04
cjwatsonxnox,infinity: I tried to reproduce the zh_CN failure locally, and couldn't.  I'm hoping having stuff promoted will improve matters, indeed.19:05
infinitycjwatson: It just comes down to not being built against proposed, AFAICT.19:06
cjwatsonWe should definitely improve u-d-b for all this, but I don't think it needs to block this bug19:06
cjwatsoninfinity: I couldn't reproduce it locally even given that. :-(19:06
cjwatson(I mentioned all this a few days ago, maybe last week ...)19:07
infinityhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1450588/19:08
xnoxcjwatson: is SB on the chinese image required or desired feature?19:08
infinitycjwatson: ^-- Pretty easy to reproduce.19:08
cjwatsonxnox: desired19:08
cjwatsonxnox: we shipped 12.10 without it19:09
cjwatsonxnox: the required goal for 12.04.2 is equivalent support to 12.1019:09
infinityIf we're happy with sbsigntool, let me release that.19:09
cjwatsonanything more is gravy19:09
xnox=)))) Hmm.... gravy19:09
* xnox should have dinner =)19:10
infinitycjwatson: Are you satisfied that the current sbsigntool is doing vaguely sbsigny things?19:10
infinitycjwatson: I'll push that one out now and have one less thing to worry about as we untangle this.19:11
cjwatsoninfinity: yeah19:12
infinityslangasek: Same question for shim/shim-signed?19:12
cjwatsonif you're looking for an order to do things in, the original upload order was fairly reasonable19:13
slangasekinfinity: yes19:13
cjwatsonthere was a non-obvious thing where bits of build system had to go earlier than you might think, iirc19:13
infinitycjwatson: Right now, I'm just picking off things that don't obviously activate without other bits.19:14
infinitycjwatson: But over the next day or two, the goal should just be to release them all, if we're ready for that.19:14
jbichainfinity: could you look at promoting the mesa-utils binary for bug 914631?21:23
ubot2`Launchpad bug 914631 in gnome-control-center "[mir] mesa-demos" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91463121:23
infinityjbicha: Was there a reason no one ever responded to Bryce's comment on that bug? :/21:26
jbichayou mean about not needing mesa-utils to look up driver info? I think the lack of response was that no one wanted to write that patch21:30
infinityI suspect the code to do what he suggests would be shorter than the core required to fork and parse output from glxinfo, and would also be faster.21:33
infinitys/core/code/21:33
infinityjbicha: But, whatever.  If no one's willing to do it without the fork, I'm not going to second-guess mterry's MIR.21:39
* mterry looks up21:42
mterryinfinity, I think the problem is that the code required to fork and parse output from glxinfo is already written21:43
mterryinfinity, so while bryce's suggestion is a good one, it's just unmanned work21:43
infinitymterry: Well, yes.  "Code already written" hasn't ever stood in the way of us considering it objectionable before. :P21:43
RAOFinfinity: Also, you *want* to fork and spit out some info, because proprietary drivers are hateful.21:43
mterryinfinity, :)21:43
mterryThat's a fair point.  glxinfo does have a lot of crashers due to drivers being awful21:44
infinityIf querying "what driver am I using" crashes, that seems fundamentally broken.  But okay.21:45
RAOFinfinity: Exactly that query crashes if you've installed fglrx but are not using it.21:46
infinityRAOF: Special.21:46
RAOF(Because proprietary drivers replace libGL, which is where you call, and their libGL isn't a mastery of failsafe error handling)21:46
infinityAnyhow, like I said, I won't second-guess this, once gnome-control-center is actually built, I'll promote mesa-whatever.21:47
infinityRAOF: Well, I'd question why this query is happening in libGL.  Isn't there a more fundamental Xish way of saying "this is my video driver"?21:47
RAOFActually, no.21:47
infinityRAOF: There's certainly enough vomit in the logs to indicate that something knows what drivers are in play.21:47
RAOFAnd they're not after the video driver; they're after the OpenGL renderer.21:48
infinityI guess none of that is actually exported to a public interface?21:48
RAOFIt is; glGetString(GL_RENDERER)21:48
infinityRAOF: No, they're after the "video", if the dialog is to be believed.21:48
infinityI think that dialog will even happily display VESA drivers, if you're using one (via parsing the X log, oh my)21:49
RAOFWe're talking about the System Details?Overview, right?21:49
infinityYeah.21:49
infinityI mean, I know that it *is* displaying the GL renderer.21:50
infinityBut that's not the same as saying that's what they actually want to be displaying.21:50
RAOFRight.21:50
RAOFThey could indeed do something different; there's surely some byzantine way involving looking up the PCIID database.21:50
RAOFBut X doesn't help you at all there.21:51
RAOFxf86-video-intel knows that it's running on an Intel? Sandybridge Mobile, but there's no mechanism to export that anywhere.21:51
RAOFExcept the GL renderer string :)21:51
infinityFair enough.  Seems like a bit of a design flaw, but I'm okay with "no, this just plain can't be done".21:52
RAOFNoone's ever really felt the need to add that protocol; and people *are* mostly interested in the 3d driver anyway.21:53
jbichaI filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69052721:53
ubot2`Gnome bug 690527 in Other Preferences "Don't call 'glxinfo -l' to show the graphics card info" [Normal,Unconfirmed]21:53
infinityHas anyone ever noticed a bizarre bug where window contents only refresh when you move the window?21:53
RAOFSounds like damage problems.22:09
slangasekalways a downer when damage is broken22:12
