Kanocjwatson: why is grub2-signed not build against current grub2-11?00:11
=== slank is now known as slank_away

vagrantccjwatson: do you know if the current process for building live CDs on ubuntu is basically: https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2011/06/msg00152.html ?00:47
vagrantcor anyone, really...00:48
slangasekvagrantc: that's not a complete description of our build process, but it's accurate as far as the livefs /on/ the CD is concerned01:12
slangasek(there's an extra layer of indirection, where the livefs is fed to a different build server that puts it into a hybrid filesystem along with the bootloader, on-disk package archive, etc)01:13
vagrantcslangasek: is it expected to build self-hosting... i.e. precise can build a precise live image?01:22
* vagrantc was hoping to create customized images through an automated process, but most of the docs recommend using uck01:23
slangasekvagrantc: wrt the livecd-rootfs and live-build packages, yes01:25
vagrantcslangasek: i must be missing something(s)... it flounders at many steps along the way.01:26
vanhoofvagrantc: perhaps http://paste.ubuntu.com/1567760/ will help01:28
slangasekvagrantc: well, again since we only use live-build for the livefs creation, it's possible the packages don't work OOTB when you use them to create a full ISO01:28
vanhoofvagrantc: that yields good results for me01:28
vagrantcvanhoof: thanks, will give it a go.01:29
vagrantcslangasek: i can get it to create a squashfs, but no ISO image.01:29
slangasekvagrantc: right, which is exactly how we're using it ;)01:29
vagrantcso it "works"01:30
slangasekand the ISO image creation scripts are unfortunately not sorted out for releasing01:30
* vagrantc hrms01:30
vagrantchopefully vanhoof's suggestion will get me what i need.01:30

apwpitti, we seem to be missing the amd64 ddebs for linux-3.2.0-36.57, can we tell why ?10:27
pittiapw: sorry, that got built 8 days ago, so they are already gone from the buildds :(10:32
pittiapw: for debugging that it would be good if you could poke me the next time an upload/accept/build happens, so that I can save the ddebs from the buildds some where and then debug how they appear/disappear on ddebs.u.c.?10:32
=== sil2100_ is now known as sil2100
apwpitti, well i think we did some new ones in the last two days10:45
apwpitti, the latest P and Q kernels10:48
apwpitti, some support folks mirror these and they say it never appeared as they don't have them11:01
pittiapw: no, they were built on January 8 and 9 respectively11:04

pittihttps://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ppa/+build/420099911:04
pittiapw: checking if lamiak and panlong respond to ddeb fetching11:04
pittiapw: one important difference is that they are being built in a PPA instead of the normal distro; that might play into it11:05
apwpitti, i am saying that their non-deleting mirror of ddebs.u.c never got a copy of them, so more than likely they were not added to ddebs rather than deleted11:05
pitti*nod*11:05
pittihm, htey do use the normal distro builders (blessed PPA), so it's not that11:06
pittiso raring's ddebs are there; I'll copy them in case they disappear as well11:09
pitti(for investigation)11:09
Kanohi, where is the script that creates the current iso images incl. shim?11:09
pittiapw: ok, I made a hardlink backup tree of http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/11:10
pittiapw: but I'm afraid we really need a fresh (i. e. < 7 days) build from the PPA in order to investigate this :(11:10
pittior get ddebs into Launchpad properly11:11
Kano12.10 kubuntu was not bootable, only grub showed with secureboot11:11
Kanoubuntu worked11:11
Kanothe linux command did not succeed there11:11
apwpitti, we built two like yesterday11:12
Kanocjwatson: can you help?11:12
apwpitti, in fact linux - 3.2.0-37.58 is building still for armhf, but built on x8611:14
pittiapw: ah, great; looking at that one11:15
pittioooh! I have an idea11:15
pittiapw: so the build happens in the PPA at day 1; the ddebs are fetched, but they aren't put into the Packages.gz indexes as they are not in the distro yet11:16
infinitypitti: Oh, is it the delay of the SRU process that's getting them killed/lost? :/11:16
pittiapw: then on a day > 5 the kernel is copied to the distro11:16
pittiapw: at that point ddeb-retriever will have them cleaned up, as they appear nowhere in the distro11:16
infinity(Though, I usually do my copies in under 5 days, that's certainly not guaranteed)11:16
pittiit isn't really built with that "copy from PPA" model in mind11:16
pittibut let me check the ddebs on the buildds11:17
apwand that would explain amd64 as that is typically done the quickest11:17
apwso would hit 5 days soonest11:17
pittiso 3.2.0-37.58 isn't on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory yet, as expected11:17
infinitypitti: This could also explain random complaints about security updates without ddebs, since they follow the same PPA->archive model, and VERY often have a testing delay of a week or more before unembargoing.11:18
pittibut http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ has them11:18
BWMerlinNvidia has released new stable drivers, what is the process for these to be included into the ubuntu repositories?11:18
infinityBWMerlin: tseliot tends to be on top of this.11:19
pittiapw: ok, I think we nailed it; I'll bump the "max age" of unowned kernel debs to a month11:19
apwpitti, could we perhaps add a " version <= newest pocket version "11:19
pittiwe have the space now11:19
apwwell that cannot hurt for sure11:19
infinitypitti: Special-casing kernels doesn't help security.11:19
infinitypitti: But I suspect kernels are the major use-case people notice.11:19
infinitypitti: (And this should all go away sooner, rather than later...)11:20
pittiyeah, we'll need some ">=" version comparison as apw suggests11:20
apwi would think not removing a .ddeb which represents a version in the future ever would fix it right for everything11:20
pittiah, since we switched to germanium the "max age" is back to 14 days11:21
infinityapw: Except then we would have ddeb cruft ~forever for people who build test packages in devirt PPAs, or kernel/security/etc building something that doesn't get copied, or even package removals from -proposed.11:21

infinitypitti: I'm going to try to find the time next week to look into the librarian solution (again), so maybe we can stop worrying about the hackish attempts at aging, and you can just do 1:1 mapping from published binaries to their matching ddebs.11:22
BWMerlininfinity: I am trying to find information about it's progress, I have checked the bug tracker but couldn't find any mention of it11:23
infinityBWMerlin: That was a hint to, perhaps, ask tseliot, who does these updates.  What version is this new stable version?11:23
pittiinfinity: that'd be great indeed; that doesn't relieve germanium of the two hours that it takes to produce indexes, but at least it would solve the "data loss" problem11:23
BWMerlin31311:23
tjaaltonBWMerlin: it's an experimental version..11:25
infinityBWMerlin: Ahh, yeah, we still seem to be at 310ish.  But ping tseliot if you're curious.  I suspect he already knows about the new upstream, but it doesn't hurt to politely ask.11:25
infinity(keyword: politely)11:25
BWMerlintjaalton: there are new 310 and 313 drivers11:26
tjaalton310 is the stable one11:26

Kanowhy not?11:43
tjaaltonsiretart: the gstreamer situation is a bit weird still, with all the various branches etc11:45
RiddellKano: hmm I think we have some things missing from our seeds11:48
xnoxKano: as far as I know #kubuntu is not SB enabled.11:49
siretarttjaalton: neither mplayer nor mplayer2 support vaapi11:51
cjwatsonRiddell: if you want it done for 12.04.2, let me know and I should be able to sort it out on Monday.  (But it ought to be done for 13.04 first, really.)11:51

Kanoi got my efi enabled board yesterday11:54
tjaaltonsiretart: there is a ppa which has a version that does11:54
tjaaltonapparently11:54
siretarttjaalton: that's some bastardized fork of an outdated codebase, whose create seems to have no interest in submitting his work upstream.11:55
siretarts/create/creator/11:55
tjaaltonsiretart: ah, well I'm interested to see if I can reproduce a bug in the driver :)11:55
siretarttjaalton: :-)11:56
tjaaltonnot really interested in the player itself11:56
siretarti would appreciate if people would stop calling it mplayer, the mplayer 'situation' is already way too confusing as it is right now.11:57
siretartwith 'it', I mean that vaapi fork11:57
Kanosiretart: did you get it compiled? i only saw 3 branches11:57

Kanotjaalton: sure, xbmc12:00

siretarttjaalton: vlc exists, and I'm told gstreamer can do vaapi as well (but I haven't tested that)12:00
tjaaltonvlc is fine12:00
Kanono compared to xbmc vlc is bad12:00
siretartKano: too bad that we do not have xbmc in ubuntu12:00

ogra_in raring at least12:02
siretartogra_: omg. how did this pass ftp-master license review?12:02
Kanoit is even in debian12:02
Kanobecause it is build without internal ffmpeg12:03
Kanoi prefer the normal xbmc with builtin ffmpeg12:03
ogra_siretart, dunno,didnt check, i just know it is famous on arm recently12:03
siretartKano: that's my main concern with it. in debian/experimental it is built against internal ffmpeg, which makes it IMO unsuitable for a distribution usage.12:04
siretartogra_: well, not my call anyways.12:04
siretartgotta work to do, bbl12:04

Sweetsharkbdrung: today is my last day, and while I leave at ~midnight, I still have some packing to do.12:38
bdrungokay12:41
evxnox: yay!12:52
xnoxmvo: so how does one install i386 packages only, via software center? do I must provide a :amd64 package that simply depends on :i386 package? (e.g. like skype & skype-bin) cause VMware view client is in the app-install-data now (i fixed it localy) & yet it is "not found"12:54
infinityxnox: Oh, have you hijacked vmware-view-client from me?12:56
infinityxnox: Not that I mind if the answer is yes. :P12:56
xnoxinfinity: no, I haven't. I'm trying to teach software center that one can install vmware-view-client on amd64 machines.12:56
xnoxvia app-install-data-partner.12:56
infinityxnox: If software-center can't see multiarch binaries from secondary arches, that seems like an SC bug.  Pretty please don't work around it with dummy amd64->i386 packages. :/12:57
xnoxev: I've used errors to fix a crasher, I even made a merge proposal for errors to fix a small bug there. Clearly you should code review my usb-creator branch in return =))))12:58
infinity(We could repackage vmware-view-client like Skype, but we really shouldn't have to)12:58
xnoxinfinity: ok, i'll just mark it i386 only in app-install-data, but then like most desktops that want to use vmware-view-client won't be able to install it via usual ways.12:59
xnoxinfinity: it's not fair to hour office building buddies.12:59
xnoxs/hour/our/12:59
infinityxnox: Well, it *is* i386-only.  The point I'm making is that software-center should still show it anyway if you have i386 enabled.12:59
infinityxnox: Does this fiddling mean that its stack is actually installable now?13:00
infinityAhh, it is in raring now, at least.13:01
xnoxyeah, it is =)13:01
infinityxnox: I vaguely remember not caring before because its dependencies weren't all multiarched.  Looks like that's been fixed in precise too now.  Shiny.13:03
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
infinityxnox: So, yeah.  I *could* repackage it with a foo/foo-bin approach like skype, but I'd rather you get mvo's opinion on why SC doesn't display it in the current state, and how/if that should be fixed.13:04
infinityxnox: Cause cross-arch deps like that are a hackish workaround, not something we should be doing just cause.13:04
infinityxnox: (For skype, it was to enable smooth upgrades, since there used to be a skype:amd64 that depended on ia32-libs, there never was such a thing for vmware-view-client)13:05

xnoxok.13:05
xnoxlet me experiment and see if there is a regular reproducer in the archive.13:06
xnoxwell. i guess partner kind of is, but i'm sure there was something like that synced from debian as well13:06
infinityYou'll be hard-pressed to find things in the regular archive that only exist on one arch and are sensibly multiarched.13:06
infinitySome kernels, perhaps, but they don't show up in SC anyway.13:07
=== cpg is now known as cpg|away
infinityvmware-view-client seems like a good enough testcase, don't see why you'd need another.13:07
xnoxtrue.13:08
infinityxnox: I doubt SC understands multiarch at all, but if it does, it might be accidentally assuming that packages without MA headers aren't valid candidates?13:12
xnoxinfinity: on the other hand one should not see 2 gnome-terminals.13:13
infinityxnox: More realistically, though, it's probably just not even looking at foreign arches.13:13
infinityxnox: Why would you?13:13
janimopitti, hi, are we following udev in systemd currently?13:13
infinityxnox: apt-cache search gnome-terminal && apt-cache search vmware-view-client : you only see one of each, it picks the best candidate.13:14
infinityxnox: This is no different than having more than one candidate in, say, release, updates, security, and proposed.  SC only shows you the "best", not all of them, I hope. :P13:14
xnoxhmm...13:14
janimopitti, as in backporting changes from it but not rebuilding from that source tarball?13:14
infinityjanimo: I was pretty sure slangasek had master plans to start building udev directly from the systemd sources at some point.13:16

mptand we don't have server error tracking yet anyway14:01
mptDropped: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker?action=diff&rev2=142&rev1=14114:03
mptev, for these developer settings for the error tracking, I wonder if we could/should offer blacklisting of any package that you have installed from a PPA14:17
mptI guess "could" depends on bug 109122814:19

cjwatsonNot really14:20
cjwatsonI mean, it doesn't matter if you've installed it from a PPA and it has since been copied into the primary archive, does it?14:21
mptsure it does14:21
cjwatsonWell, I guess if it's been superseded by a later version then it might be hard to tell14:21
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
mptWell, it depends on the motivation I guess14:21
cjwatsonBut I'd have thought a reasonable first cut would just be to check the current origins (analogous to apt-cache policy)14:22
mptIf the motivation for not wanting to report PPA errors is to avoid spamming the error tracker with errors Ubuntu developers can't fix, then as soon as it's copied into the primary archive, they can fix them14:22
mptbut I was thinking more developers who are using a PPA for testing before going to MyApps/ARB14:22
mptEven then, for both us and them, it would be more interesting if we could give the developers access to those error reports, than to spend time letting their beta testers block just those error reports...14:24
BWMerlinI keep getting the following error when I try to install glx-alternative-nvidia The following packages have unmet dependencies: glx-alternative-nvidia : Depends: glx-diversions (= 0.2.2) Depends: glx-alternative-mesa E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.14:34
BWMerlinIs this a bug I need a report or am I doing something wrong?14:34
xnoxmpt: an error or a bug in the software is still an error and a bug. no matter where it was installed from. and it's better to fix everything in ppa before it hits MyAPps/ARB/archive.14:45
mptyeah14:46
xnoxi guess it's screws with the statistics and graphs.14:46
mptFor example, we're just hooking up Firefox errors so that we'll count them before sending them on to Mozilla, (almost) purely for statistical rigor14:46
* xnox so wants to see chromium vs firefox stability. But I guess regardless, the $default browser will always crash more.14:47
mptWe'd have to measure program running time to know that14:48
mptbut we don't even know Ubuntu running time at the moment (which is why the 12.04 graph has a weekly pulse)14:48

lantiziaHi, I've noticed that the kernels shipping with 12.04 and 12.10 are coming compiled with a setting turned on that wasn't present in the config file of the kernel that shipped with 11.1015:27
lantiziathat setting is CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM=y15:27
lantiziaalso CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE=y15:28
lantizianow given OSS was completely removed in the kernel back in 11.04 release was it?15:28
lantiziaWhy has settings for it re-emerged in 12.04 onwards?   That setting it seems preserves OSS device numbers in case you have OSS compatibility compiled in to the kernel - which clearly it doesn't any longer15:29
lantiziaBut whilst the setting is there, it prevents people from using OSS proxy/emulation techniques such as osspd (which uses fuse/cuse to fake /dev/dsp and redirects it to pulseaudio)15:29
infinitylantizia: You want #ubuntu-kernel15:29
lantizialol - I did ask in #ubuntu which channel would be best, nevermind I'll reask there15:30
lantiziabut if anyone does know how I can do about looking for a rationale of why that was re-included let me know :D15:30

slangasekseb128: hey, do you know if there's a reason we still have the gnome-power-manager package in the desktop seed?  It looks to me like the only things it still contains are a pointless GUI tool and some icons which I think we're not using16:35
psusiit has been annoying me for some time now that the gui tool has had features removed to the point of becoming pointless16:37
seb128slangasek, for the "pointless GUI tool" :p16:37
stgraberslangasek: gnome-power-statistics is called by the power indicator16:37
psusiI tried last year to put some back, but upstream didn't seem to want to16:37
stgraberslangasek: that's what you see when you click on a batter in the indicator16:37
psusiohh, right... -manager, not -settings16:37
