slangasekara, stgraber: looks like we're sorted now wrt old-releases?  (apparently it required a manual sync by IS?)15:03
stgraberslangasek: the sync is still failing but at least they triggered one manually15:07
* slangasek nods15:08
slangasekwhich should be as many as we need for the next few months15:08
aracool, thanks!15:12
rtgsarnold, can you process bug #1214979 now that the point release is done ?16:36
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1214979 in apparmor (Ubuntu Precise) "Feature buffer full in precise with LTS kernel" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/121497916:36
sarnoldrtg: yes, thanks for the reminder16:38
NikThHello,18:42
NikThCan someone to change this[1] please ?  [1] - http://i.imgur.com/McFyLrP.jpg18:42
infinityNikTh: Yup.18:43
NikThinfinity: Thanks :-)18:43
slangasekgrumble, how'd I miss that18:43
slangasekinfinity: thanks18:43
infinityslangasek: Because the front page indexes are done by hand, and someone always forgets a bit?18:44
slangasekwell, I followed the checklist18:44
slangasekso maybe the checklist is missing a bit18:44
infinityNikTh: Done.18:44
infinityslangasek: It could be missing the "verify correctness of simple/HEADER.html" bit.18:45
NikThAlso here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop , the LibreOffice version is 3.5.7 , not 3.5.4 .. but this I can change it my self :-)18:46
infinityslangasek: Although, publish-image-set used to have some verbage to that effect, I thought.18:46
slangasekinfinity: publish-image-set has some verbiage which is completely wrong for the point release, fwiw18:46
infinityslangasek: That would do it. :P18:47
NikThinfinity: Maybe the 10.04.4 LTS should be removed from there ? Or place a (server only) next to it ?18:47
infinityNikTh: Certainly not removed.18:48
infinityNikTh: You'll note if you click through that it only has server ISOs, I archived the desktop ones off.18:48
NikThinfinity: Yes, you have right.  Server Install CD , only. OK.18:49
infinityI suppose if we think people are trying to make informed decisions about what to install based on that page, either a prominent pointer to a lifecycle page on the wiki, or an "(Approximate EOL: Foo 13, 20XX)" after each one might be helpful.18:52
infinityIf I could remember the name of the wiki page with the release/eol dates...18:52
NikThinfinity: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases18:53
infinityNikTh: Danke.  You'd think I'd remember that, given the edits I've done to it.18:55
* infinity is still convinced that wikis are where data goes to die.18:55
NikThinfinity:  :-)18:56
NikThQuestion (of topic a little bit). gnome-session --version , results in 3.2 version (on 12.04.3 LTS) , but "system monitor"(GUI) reads 3.4 version of Gnome. How you define the gnome version in an Ubuntu release ?19:06
slangasekxnox: bug #1216853> er... since when do we support PXE booting livefs images?20:12
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1216853 in casper (Ubuntu) "LiveCD missing nfs/crypt kernel modules in the initramfs - During PXE booting failed to mount nfs directory" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/121685320:12
cjwatsonsince years20:13
cjwatsonI remember lifeless (I think) helping to get that working way back when20:13
cjwatsonwell, I don't know about "support" since it isn't well-tested, but it is meant to work20:14
slangasekoh, hmm20:16
slangasekI thought we only PXE booted the d-i images20:16
cjwatsonit was definitely made to work end to end with ubiquity at one point20:18
cjwatson... or at least live session booting, but I think ubiquity too20:18
xnoxyeah, it does work and i think even someone deploys desktop machines like that.20:21
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
xnoxlet's see if fixing bug 1217041 resolves bug 121685320:26
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1217041 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Precise) "initramfs-tools: please include separated nfs modules" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/121704120:26

infinityxnox: Oh bah, I thought I backported that to precise. :/20:52
xnoxinfinity: =/ happens. I am confused about crypt modules. cryptsetup was changed to only include them in the initramfs, if needed or if a flag variable is set. Can live-cd somehow include crypt modules in the initramfs unconditionally?20:53
infinityxnox: The problem is that that won't fix the ISO, even if we backport it now.20:53
infinity(Unless we respin the point release)20:54
xnoxinfinity: well not 12.04.3, but i somehow thought precise-daily will get fixed and well 12.04.4.20:54
xnoxYeah, -rc7 which hopefully fixes javac SEGV =)21:04
xnoxinfinity: are precise-dailies build with -proposed enabled again?21:05
infinityxnox: Nope, but could do.21:06
* infinity tried to remember the syntax...21:07
infinityslangasek: When you tore all the PROPOSED out of crontab, was it "PROPOSED=1"?21:07
slangasekinfinity: yes21:07
slangasekis that what we want at this point?21:08
slangasekor should that only be done for one-off testing?21:08
infinityslangasek: Why not?  May as well have proposed enabled up until a few weeks before .421:08
infinityIt shouldn't suffer the same consistency/installability issues that devel-proposed does, and if it does, we want to know about it anyway.21:09
slangasekwell, ok21:09
infinityxnox: precise-daily is all proposey again.21:10
* infinity still finds it bizarre that anyone outside our QA labs would consider PXE booting the desktop CD a sane and reasonable option.21:11
infinityDifferent strokes, I guess.21:11
xnoxslangasek: infinity: i guess the price cd will gain all the verification-failed packages which haven't been removed from -proposed.21:11
infinityxnox: That's fine.  It's incentive for us to actually remove stuff from proposed. :P21:12
slangasekcjwatson: so can you remind me the rationale for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes and it's annoying immutability?21:29
slangaseks/it's/its/21:30
infinityslangasek: I think the rationale was that it's https, and provides a trust path for people who don't/can't trust the GPG signed hashes for some weird reason or other.21:33
infinity(A weak rationale, to be sure, but there it is)21:33
infinityIt could use all the EOL releases removed...21:34
slangasekis that something we want to encourage, though?  (maybe, maybe not - just want to make sure we have a clear and understood rationale for this thing that lives outside ubuntu-cdimage's control and causes more work)21:34
infinityI'm not sure.  The argument seems a bit dubious when it's indistinguishable from a random wiki page that could also be https and made to look identical with incorrect values.21:35
slangasekwell, it's a "well-known" address, it's https, and it's not generally modifiable21:36
infinityPerhaps replacing it with a GPG verification HOWTO (including Win32 instructions) might not be a bad plan, and https links to our signing keys.21:36
xnoxinfinity: where are the GPG key fingerprints published? not many have trust of path to that, is there some https location with those?21:41
infinityxnox: We could make one.21:42
infinity(If there isn't one already)21:42
slangasekif we do, please make sure that updating it becomes part of the documented key rotation process21:43
xnoxa fingerprint is listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto but that's not explicit, just a by-product of the procedure output.21:43
infinityslangasek: Or have it automagic somehow.21:43
slangasekinfinity: which is not going to happen day 1, so it needs to be documented :P21:43
xnoxhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/project/ has the keyring.21:44
slangaseknot the cdimage keyring21:44
* xnox never knew we have souce.isos21:44
infinityWe ship the cdimage key in the ubuntu-keyring package, is that not the same keyring found on /ubuntu/project/?21:44
slangasekinfinity: why would we ship the cdimage key in the ubuntu-keyring package?  Oh, is that needed for trusting the apt sources on alternate CDs?21:47
infinityslangasek: That, yes.21:47
infinityslangasek: See `apt-key list`21:47
slangasekhmm, ok21:48
slangasekregardless, the point is to have an https trust path for those that don't already have the joy of running Ubuntu21:48
infinityRight, so an automated process that tears out the keyring from ubuntu-keyring and dumps it to a well-known https location doesn't sound like it'd be rocket surgery.21:49
infinityIn both GPG keyring format and massive ASCII-armored blob of doom.21:49
infinityA bit of work, sure, but would cut down on skinning cats seven different ways down the road.21:51
infinityAnd, realistically, anyone who can't be bothered to set up PGP/GPG to test the MD5SUM signature probably also won't do due diligence to make sure our SSL cert is trustworthy in any meaningful way. :P21:52
infinity(Alternately, we could stick with the status quo, but maybe open up the list of people who can update that page a little bit...)21:55
sarnoldif we're redesigning things, I'd quite like an .asc file for each .iso, to save the hassle of downloading a sha256sums file and seeing a few dozen FAIL messages, or juggling three or four sha256sums files depending upon the versions of ubuntu I've downloaded21:59
sarnoldif we had a nice gpg detached sig for each iso, there'd be no name collisions and no dozen listed files that I _didn't_ download..22:00
infinitysarnold: The only minor concern with that is that it makes the directory a bit messier and confusing to people who have no idea what an "asc" is, download the wrong file, and wonder why they can't burn it.22:03
infinityOne would hope that people that easily confused are downloading via direct links from www.u.c/download, but I suspect that's not always true.22:03
sarnoldinfinity: yeah, it would roughly double the files in each directory. But I hope the one-second download time might be a clue that it isn't a full-featured operating system they just downloaded :)22:04
infinitysarnold: Maybe it's just really efficient?22:04
sarnoldinfinity: haha, very efficient :)22:04
infinitysarnold: I'm sure I could download some old Slack or Debian floppies on my link in a second or so.  That Linux thing isn't supposed to be bloated like Windows, right? :)22:09
sarnoldinfinity: just be sure you've got at least 16 megabytes of RAM if you're going to use X11!22:10
darkxstinfinity, hi22:16
infinitydarkxst: Yo.22:16
darkxstinfinity, can you get those ddebs sorted for me ;)22:17
infinitydarkxst: Remind me of which PPA it was?22:17

xnoxinfinity: can linux-signed be hinted to not wait for autopackagetest of a wrong version to pass, the right version has passed.22:57
infinityxnox: Yeah, I'll hint it in a bit, and try to get someone to dig deeper into WTF goes wrong there.22:58
