| penguin42 | hey | 00:09 |
| bigcalm | Morning | 00:10 |
| darrenfoster1976 | ahhh you are all awake then? | 00:10 |
| bigcalm | Unlikely | 00:10 |
| bigcalm | I'm not awake in any way | 00:10 |
| penguin42 | zzzzZzzzz | 00:10 |
| bigcalm | This is just a dream, right? | 00:10 |
| darrenfoster1976 | lol... ive not been here before im a noob, just wanted to say hi | 00:11 |
| penguin42 | welcome! | 00:11 |
| darrenfoster1976 | ive been using ubuntu for about 2 years properly, as a user but now want to seriously start sharing stuff locally | 00:12 |
| darrenfoster1976 | thanks penguin | 00:12 |
| * bigcalm slithers off to bed | 00:12 | |
| * dwatkins hands darrenfoster1976 an nice hot cup of tea | 00:12 | |
| darrenfoster1976 | :-) | 00:13 |
| darrenfoster1976 | so anyone from Cornwall in? | 00:13 |
| darrenfoster1976 | im in Truro | 00:13 |
| * penguin42 is somewhat further North in Manc | 00:13 | |
| darrenfoster1976 | marvelous has it started snowing yet? | 00:14 |
| penguin42 | no | 00:14 |
| dwatkins | I'm most of the way up the other end of the island, in Edinburgh, darrenfoster1976 | 00:15 |
| darrenfoster1976 | hmmm from one end to the other | 00:15 |
| dwatkins | yeah, although people keep reminding me there's a lot of land north of here. | 00:16 |
| darrenfoster1976 | whats everyone upto? is there a topic of discussion? | 00:16 |
| dwatkins | I'm currently watching the ill-fated Terminator series whilst configuring my Raspberry Pi to be a temperature sensor and chatting to people on IRC... | 00:17 |
| darrenfoster1976 | awesome... ive seen a youtube video showing a Pi as a temperature sensor looked pretty neat. | 00:18 |
| penguin42 | darrenfoster1976: It tends to be quite random on here :-) | 00:18 |
| darrenfoster1976 | im pretty random so ill fit in well then | 00:18 |
| darrenfoster1976 | so im considering putting together a server to play with as a home server, and LAMP... should i go with 12.04 or 12.10? any thoughts? or recommendations? | 00:21 |
| popey | 12.04 | 00:21 |
| penguin42 | darrenfoster1976: If you want it to be a home server that you can just leave alone then 12.04 is probably a good bet if it does everything you want; you just need to keep up with security until another year or more | 00:22 |
| popey | i use 12.04 on my homeserver - an HP Microserver | 00:22 |

| kvarley | Yes, in a root session | 09:06 |
| kvarley | Thank goodness for recovery mode | 09:07 |
| kvarley | Managed to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del before the boot splash froze which caused a reboot to Grub with the options showing so I was able to edit the boot parameters | 09:07 |
| kvarley | I can't see anything in the error logs | 09:18 |
| kvarley | Can't get it to boot still tho | 09:18 |
| kvarley | Whoever had the idea to keep the old kernel version after an upgrade is a genius | 09:19 |

| dwatkins | My Raspberry Pi controls the standby state of my TV better than the Xbox does. | 12:09 |
| MartijnVdS | dwatkins: standby state of the tV? | 12:10 |
| brobostigon | :) | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | I thought rpi didn't do cec yet? | 12:10 |
| dwatkins | MartijnVdS: if I pause a video, the TV will go into standby mode after a few minutes, and come out again when I unpause | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | oh that's nice | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | my tv won't do that | 12:11 |
| dwatkins | In fairness, it's Raspbmc that's controlling this, not the hardware, I imagine. | 12:11 |
| MartijnVdS | (though it'll turn off the backlight if the screen is entirely black) | 12:11 |
| dwatkins | SCART supports waking up a device, I believe, or at least switching to the active one, so I assume this is done using HDMI. | 12:11 |
| MartijnVdS | dwatkins: HDMI CEC supports it, but I though that wasn't supported on Raspberry Pi (yet) | 12:11 |
| dwatkins | I can make a video for any doubters ;) | 12:12 |
| MartijnVdS | dwatkins: it can do even more than SCART -- you can "walk" through device menus, toggle power, etc. | 12:12 |
| MartijnVdS | it's a bus. | 12:12 |

| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Are they still being created - one a day whenever you log in? | 14:40 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: from the time/date stamps - yes | 14:40 |
| SuperEngineer | my thought is to move all but today's into a separate folder & see what happens | 14:42 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: In that case I'd say you have a bug that they aren't being cleaned up, and I'd have thought if you deleted the old ones you would be fine; if you're worried just move them somewhere else and make sure it's happy | 14:42 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: glad we agree | 14:42 |
| SuperEngineer | bbs - logging off to see what happens on restart | 14:46 |

| aaronr | Hi everyone. I'm seeing a really weird buffer overflow in apache2 seemingly caused by libgcrypt or libgnutls, according to the backtrace. Even more strangely it seems to like happening on Sunday mornings, so it's perhaps being exacerbated by a weekly cron task. Do I need to be careful about reporting this in the open on Launchpad, with it being a potential security issue? | 16:57 |
| * SuperEngineer loves outr of date topics - gives a result some character ;) | 16:58 | |
| redtape-renegade | mungbean: that's only beacause he couldn't type 'PNY' --- http://goo.gl/oIrtF -- <-- <-- He's obsessed with Chinese font's which are on his Far-East USB !! | 16:58 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: You can mark it as a security issue and not publicly viewable | 16:58 |
| SuperEngineer | ..just like a certain Rugby scoreline at FT gives a game some character | 16:58 |
| mungbean | anyone tried this yet? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/new-window-switching-method-added-to-unity | 16:58 |
| mungbean | wanna know how it works with terminal windows | 16:58 |
| aaronr | Ah, didn't know that. Thanks penguin42, I'll do that. Am I best reporting it under Apache, where I'm seeing the crash, or under libgcrypt which seems to be to blame each time? | 16:59 |
| penguin42 | mungbean: KDE has something similar in it's overview and uses the title of terminals; so it works well if you have your bash prompts to set the titles | 16:59 |
| * redtape-renegade is tuck with Lubuntu D.Environment :( | 16:59 | |
| redtape-renegade | **is stuck .. | 16:59 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: It's your call; which ever you think is more likely to be broken, but explain why you made the choice you did | 17:00 |
| mungbean | penguin42: i use it in docky, but don't use unity for that reason mainly | 17:00 |
| aaronr | Would it be sensible to report it under both and perhaps put links between the two bugs? Or would double-filing like that be bad form? | 17:01 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: I'd just go for one | 17:01 |
| aaronr | k | 17:01 |
| aaronr | thanks! | 17:01 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: What makes you think it's a security issue? | 17:01 |
| aaronr | It's a buffer overflow in either Apache or the GNU TLS library. | 17:02 |
| aaronr | Sure, it's being caught and Apache's dying, but that's not really the point. | 17:02 |
| penguin42 | ok, best to go with mark it as security | 17:02 |
| aaronr | Makes sense. I'd better go collect some logs then. Thanks for your help! | 17:04 |
| * kvarley is amazed how satisfying it is playing games without having to reboot into Windows :) | 17:05 | |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Do you have a way to repeat it on demand? | 17:05 |
| aaronr | Not yet. But I do have a pretty intensive backup job running on Sunday mornings. A quick skim of existing bugs on Launchpad has me wondering if maybe it's related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgcrypt11/+bug/1084279 | 17:06 |
| lubotu3 | Ubuntu bug 1084279 in libgcrypt11 (Ubuntu) "buffer overflow crash in libgcrypt when open files > 1024" [Undecided,New] | 17:06 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: I've marked that as high/triaged | 17:11 |
| aaronr | fantastic, thank you :) | 17:11 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Does your backtrace also land at a line with an FDSET or similar? | 17:12 |
| redtape-renegade | penguin42: How do you mark it as high/triaged, again ? | 17:13 |
| penguin42 | redtape-renegade: I'm a member of the ubuntu bugcontrol group and can set the importance and state of bugs | 17:14 |
| redtape-renegade | Fantastic ! | 17:14 |
| aaronr | penguin42: I'm not sure. The backtrace is pointing at something in or underneath libgcrypt's gcry_create_nonce function. still working on interpreting it. | 17:17 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Possible; that fix is in code to open the random number file, and you need some entropy for creating a nonce | 17:19 |
| aaronr | http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libgcrypt.git;a=commit;h=061b11de60415e228f33599270d66aafe4b88d72 seems to kind of match up. I'm not too hot on the internals of how encryption works, but it kind of follows that the nonce would be from a random number generator. | 17:19 |
| penguin42 | nod | 17:20 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: So one question is why you've got 1000+ fd's open | 17:22 |
| MartijnVdS | because he CAN | 17:23 |
| aaronr | that's sort of normal. it's a busy server. | 17:23 |
| redtape-renegade | penguin42: How would you define an *fd* , again ? | 17:23 |
| MartijnVdS | aaronr: in one process?! | 17:23 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: WOw that is busy | 17:24 |
| aaronr | hmm, no not in one process | 17:24 |
| penguin42 | redtape-renegade: An open file descriptor; file, socket or similar | 17:24 |
| redtape-renegade | thanx. | 17:24 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Well that would have to be in one process to cause that wouldn't it? | 17:24 |
| aaronr | but that apache does have >100 virtualhosts | 17:24 |
| aaronr | we're not seeing any traffic spikes when it happens, though. | 17:25 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Slow CGI process? | 17:25 |
| aaronr | That's entirely likely. We don't control what's on those virtualhosts. | 17:26 |
| MartijnVdS | syn flood? | 17:26 |
| aaronr | (shared hosting server) | 17:26 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: If you could find a way to trigger it on a test server, you could 1) try building a version of libgcrypt with that fix and see if it goes away 2) try it on a raring vm to see if it's fixed in rarin | 17:28 |
| aaronr | okay. i'll fire up a test environment and see what i can do. | 17:28 |
| aaronr | which would be the better test? | 17:29 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: My reading of it is that you need to get a whole bunch of fd's open and _then_ do some ssly stuff | 17:29 |
| aaronr | yeah, i can try writing a quick ruby cgi to tie open a ton of files and then hold them open until i kill it. | 17:29 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: I'd get it tested on the same version as your running on, should be easier to confirm | 17:31 |
| aaronr | as it seems to be the apache parent process that dies (seems like a child reports the crash in the log as it blames the parent dying) i think it might be okay having two processes running, one running the cgi, the other doing ssl things | 17:31 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Do you run with a lot of threads per process? | 17:43 |
| aaronr | That box is running the process-based prefork version of apache, rather than the threaded worker version. | 17:44 |
| SuperEngineer | hmm - Planet Gnome reports from Mathew Garrett "Linux Foundation Secure Boot support released" | 17:46 |
| SuperEngineer | [along acknowledgement with Shim of course] http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/23113.html | 17:47 |
| SuperEngineer | *along with acknowledgement | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: Huh ok, I'd have thought having zillions of file descriptors was even less likely in that case | 17:57 |
| aaronr | Yeah, it's very strange. | 17:58 |
| popey | \o/ HNY | 18:00 |
| aaronr | just skimming the munin graphs there, nothing hugely weird really, except for high CPU while a apache process was stuck. (had to kill a process, "service apache2 stop" wouldn't make it go away) | 18:02 |

| redtape-renegade | * mao mao (!!) | 19:09 |
| aaronr | penguin42: not really sure how to reproduce this bug on another system. gave up on the cgi idea because that ran in its own process, so wrote a php script that opens 2000 files for writing in /tmp then called it from a bunch of tabs (some tabs over SSL, some not), but it's not falling over. weird. | 19:13 |
| aaronr | well, good that it's not falling over, but not good that i can't reproduce it. | 19:13 |
| kvarley | I've made a hotspot on ubuntu running on my laptop but my wii u won't connect to it, any ideas? | 19:17 |
| penguin42 | aaronr: nod; yeh it can be a bit tricky | 19:23 |
| zleap | where is the xorg.conf file in ubuntu? | 19:38 |
| penguin42 | there normally isn't one | 19:38 |
| bigcalm | SQL question if anybody can help :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1634095/ | 19:38 |
| penguin42 | zleap: There are a series of parts in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 19:38 |
| zleap | ok thanks | 19:39 |
| penguin42 | zleap: If you create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think it will be read | 19:40 |
| zleap | ok | 19:40 |
| zleap | so is this just ubuntu or the new way of doing stuff | 19:40 |
| penguin42 | I think it's general - X figures out most of what it needs at runtime | 19:41 |
| zleap | ok | 19:41 |
| penguin42 | zleap: I think Nvidia and other closed drivers might create one | 19:41 |
| penguin42 | zleap: Fixed config files don't make that much sense these days when people come along and hot plug another mouse/graphics pad/monitor | 19:41 |
| zleap | good point | 19:42 |
| zleap | i amk asking for someone else but will pass this on | 19:42 |
| jacobw | nvidia-xconfig creates one | 19:50 |

| popey | redtape-renegade: apt-cache policy <packagename> | 21:05 |
| redtape-renegade | popey, Thanx, but I really want to find the log of changes to the package of " gnome-mplayer " .. Where do I find that ? | 21:10 |
| popey | zcat /usr/share/doc/<packagename>/changelog.Debian.gz | more | 21:12 |

| popey | maybe install mplayer-gui | 21:36 |
| popey | and open it | 21:36 |
| penguin42 | popey: I'm curious; are you going to add some monitoring/control from an ubuntu phone for your house? | 21:46 |

| * redtape-renegade hears the drip, drip of Ubuntu TV .. :: http://youtu.be/HHNe7QMWZ8Q?t=43m59s | 23:20 | |
| Azelphur | redtape-renegade: looks like he's mostly talking about mythtv o.O | 23:28 |
| AlanBell | as far as I know we still don't know what ubuntu tv is, if anything. It might well be mythtv based with unity 2d/QML dash like lenses | 23:29 |
| Azelphur | I prefer XBMC over MythTV - having tried both | 23:30 |
| Azelphur | the usability in XBMC is far better. | 23:30 |
| * dwatkins agrees with Azelphur | 23:34 | |
| Azelphur | the mythtv people all seem to hate on xbmc but I'm not really sure why | 23:34 |
| Azelphur | the only thing I dislike about xbmc is it doesn't do so well with multiple frontends. | 23:35 |
| Azelphur | it'd be nice if it "just worked(tm)" like mythtv frontends do. | 23:35 |

| redtape-renegade | bedington. | 23:37 |
| AlanBell | I figured they were going to pick either xbmc or mythtv, develop a unity theme/skin for it with dash and launcher | 23:37 |
| AlanBell | then get a set top box | 23:37 |
| AlanBell | and sell them. Simples | 23:37 |
| redtape-renegade | Yeah, Acer RL70's wasn't it ? | 23:37 |
| redtape-renegade | RL80's are evils | 23:38 |
| AlanBell | well I was expecting them to do an Ubuntu branded ARM set top box | 23:39 |
| AlanBell | but I think they want a big OEM to pay them to do the development work on a box and for the OEM to sell it under their own brand | 23:40 |
| AlanBell | same for the phone | 23:40 |
| redtape-renegade | AlanBell: As Far As mythTV on-a-box . http://goo.gl/aBQ5k This is what Mr Mills was looking for ... | 23:42 |
| AlanBell | yeah, that is atom based though | 23:42 |
| redtape-renegade | What chip would you want to use ? | 23:43 |
| AlanBell | ARM probably, easier to go fanless | 23:43 |
| redtape-renegade | Are they as powerfull, generally ? | 23:44 |
| shauno | does it really need to be powerful for a myth box? | 23:44 |
| AlanBell | they have a different performance profile, but can be quite good at graphics | 23:44 |
| AlanBell | for a myth front end, possibly not very | 23:45 |
| AlanBell | XBMC works fine on a raspberry pi | 23:45 |
| AlanBell | and that isn't a fast ARM chip at all | 23:45 |
| shauno | playback's fine for me, but the UI is sluggish. but this is the 256MB model. and this is a system where $ is the design consideration | 23:45 |
| AlanBell | single core, old instruction set | 23:45 |
| redtape-renegade | I see, I see ... | 23:46 |
| shauno | the current (and previous) generations of appletv are ARM based, and they batter on quite well | 23:46 |
| penguin42 | AlanBell: That's using the Pi's MPEG decode hardware? | 23:49 |
| AlanBell | dunno, I haven't really used it for anything, just clicked around the UI and looked at the weather forecast, but I have heard that people have watched HD content on it | 23:50 |
| redtape-renegade | HTPC/raspberryPi/appletv +UbuntuTV ..it's rare to 'ave a h-ware chat on here .. | 23:50 |
| * redtape-renegade notes the 2014 ETA ... (!!) | 23:50 | |
| shauno | playback was acceptable on my pi, and I haven't paid for the license for the hardware decoder. but that does tend to be the key in these things. not the processor, but offloading encoding & decoding | 23:52 |

| redtape-renegade | Joseph Mills only mentioned 4 other lead dev's inn the video (I typed them down) .. Is this typical of -Canonical only to leave the Ubi-platform direction Ubuntu is taking, to less than the No. of fingers on my hand ?? | 23:53 |
| shauno | that's not unusual. overmanned can be more crippling than undermanned | 23:54 |
| AlanBell | if they have an OEM partner they might put more resources to it I guess | 23:55 |
| ali1234 | AlanBell: the bug i linked was fixed, but nobody knew how or why | 23:57 |
