crassI just submitted some patches to the distro specific scripts in cryptsetup.  It appears as though these are mostly maintained by debian, with perhaps a few modifications by ubuntu.  What's the best way to get the patches accepted?  Through debian or ubuntu?01:42

pittixnox: hm, I wonder why the config file is wrong in so many cases then10:50
xnoxpitti: yeah, strange.... it parses /proc/swaps, maybe we fail to activate the just formatted swap?10:51
xnoxdunno, nonetheless it would be nicer to not have to hard-code the one and only swap partition in two places (/etc/fstab & conf.d/resume)10:52
pittixnox: I think the least we should do is to have update-initramfs hook check whether that UUID actually exist, and only if it does copy it into the initramfs10:52
pittithat would still not unbreak hibernation, but at least fix the boot speed delay10:53
xnoxack. Yeah, a simple test [ -e /dev/disk/by-uuid/...... ] should do it.10:55

xnox.... or cherry-pick again =)10:58

pittixnox: initramfs-tools preinst -> that sounds like it would put the buildd's swap UUID into "resume"?10:58

cjwatsonsimilar thing in base-installer for d-i11:04
xnoxpitti: in the new commits: if resume file not there, or bogus UUID is specified, then it goes to regenerate the file using the first swap available. So this means one cannot disable resume partition, unless in a chroot.11:05
xnoxnot sure if that actually matters at all, tbh.11:07
pittixnox: ah, good point; mentioned in my bug reply11:08
pittixnox: still, I don't believe that jibel messed with his swap partition manually; I can understand the mismatch on my system as I'm using cryptswap (I guess that's regenerated on every boot or so?), but he doesn't even have that11:11

seb128infinity, do you know if/how we can get https://bugs.launchpad.net/langpack-o-matic/+bug/1201485 on the priority list of somebody? (needs a bit of launchpad work)13:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1201485 in Ubuntu Translations "Need to import translations for the unity daily builds" [High,Triaged]13:26
infinityseb128: Oh hey, I even have an open firefox tab for that.13:26
infinitywgrant: ^13:26
seb128infinity, without it we are increasing our untranslated strings in all the components in daily landing (e.g unity, indicators, touch)13:26
infinitywgrant: Any bright ideas?13:26
infinitywgrant: If we're losing and/or failing to import translations tarballs from copies, that seems suboptimal.13:27
infinitywgrant: (Or, I guess, throwing them away for PPA builds, thus not having them available on copy)13:27
seb128infinity, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/09/02/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t09:2513:28
seb128infinity, that was discussed a bit there by wgrant/cjwatson13:28
smoserhey. i'm looking at generating a list of packages that are needed for build and runtime depends of a cloud image.13:28
seb128infinity, I've added that link to the bug report for reference13:28
smoseras cloud-image is a seed, that seems to make sense getting data from13:29
smoserhttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.saucy/13:29
smoserbut the lists produced there are not complete. (when compared to the actual contents http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/saucy/current/saucy-server-cloudimg-amd64.manifest).13:29
smoseri know that some things are done in the build process (installing kernel for example).13:30
infinitysmoser: They'd be complete if you add up all the seed outputs for everything that cloud depends on in STRUCTURE.  One would hope.13:30
smoseri think thats what i was missing.13:30
smoseri didn't know how cloud-image depended on anything.13:30
infinityseb128: I'll see if we can find some time for it.  Not sure yet what sort of timeline we can guarantee until I've talked it over with William/Steven.13:31
smosersturcutre is hand maintained ? where does that come from ?13:31
infinitysmoser: It's in the seed bzr repo.13:32
seb128infinity, thanks13:32
smoserah. i see. in the seeds yeah.13:32
smoserthanks.13:32
seb128infinity, our plan B/workaround is to manually checkout those component, update the template manually and upload to launchpad13:32
seb128infinity, but playing catching with any string change at this game on an hundred components is a bit of madness13:32
infinitysmoser: Gets even more fun when you realise there are seed cross-deps, so that "standard" dep is coming from platform.saucy.13:32
infinityseb128: That might be your best short-term workaround, but clearly not the ideal going forward, I agree.13:33
seb128infinity, right, I know, I've been doing that since raring :p13:33
infinityseb128: If something's wildly out of sync with reality right now, though, that's probably worth a one-shot upload of a few bits. :/13:33
seb128infinity, I'm fine doing it again before saucy, but please get it fixed ;-)13:33
infinityseb128: Yeahp, it's a fundamental flaw, IMO, if we're not copying *all* custom uploads on PPA->PRIMARY copies.13:34
seb128infinity, well, no need of uploads, you can upload a pot manually to launchpad, I've been doing that for unity/indicators when I see missing strings13:34
infinityseb128: Translations should just fall out from making sure that's true.13:34
seb128right13:34
smoserinfinity, is there something that can parse that for me? or i just do it myself.13:35
infinitysmoser: germinate13:35
smoser:)13:35
smoserthanks13:35
cjwatsoninfinity: As I said earlier, it should be fairly easy to do in the custom upload copier.13:35
infinitycjwatson: Sure, assuming we actually still have those custom uploads in the PPAs (I hope the answer is yes?)13:36
cjwatsonsmoser: You can use the Python germinate.seeds module13:36
cjwatsonIf you don't want to run the whole thing13:36
smosercjwatson, thanks. mainly i just wanted to use what output there was, but resolve all the deps of cloud-image.13:37
cjwatsoninfinity: It should still be attached to the PackageUpload13:37
cjwatsonI can't imagine we're going through and deleting those.  Would be very unLaunchpaddish.13:38
infinitycjwatson: That's what I was hoping.  So, yeah, one would think this shouldn't be hard to fix at all.  And should just be fixed for all custom uploads.13:38
cjwatsoninfinity: It's already fixed for all custom uploads apart from translations.13:38
cjwatsonBecause translations were already weird.13:38
infinitycjwatson: Certainly works correctly already for EFI (as proven by the kernel SRU process).13:38
infinitycjwatson: Ahh.  Yay, weird.13:39
cjwatsoninfinity: I'd suggest moving PackageUploadCustom.publishRosettaTranslations into a module in lp.archivepublisher (see the way it works for most of the other custom upload types), flipping the switch in CustomUploadsCopier.copyable_types, and then doing whatever other minor tweaks are necessary as revealed by tests.13:40
* infinity dumps that in the bug.13:40
cjwatson(Moving most of the contents of that method, I mean, not the method itself.)13:40
cjwatsonAs it stands it'd wind up doing a bit of unnecessary work to write the translations LFA out to disk.  But that'd be easy enough to fix with an extra kwarg to _publishCustom.13:42
cjwatsoninfinity: Are you volunteering? :-)13:42

smosercjwatson, hey. before i go and try to do this, is there a way to "flatten" cloud-image.* at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.saucy/ ?14:39
=== freeflying is now known as freeflying_away
smoserby flatten i just mean resolve all task dependencies. for build-depends, build-sources, .depends14:39
cjwatsonsmoser: Well, you could look at what Launchpad does14:41
cjwatsonsmoser: lib/lp/archivepublisher/scripts/generate_extra_overrides.py14:41
cjwatsonThere's nothing canned14:41
cjwatsonsmoser: But, er, isn't cloud-image already a task?  You can get the runtime deps out of the Packages file14:42
smoserwell, not flattened. right?14:43
smoserand i also want build deps14:43
smoserwhere is lib/lp/archivepublisher/scripts/generate_extra_overrides.py ? what branch/package?14:44
cjwatsonHow do you mean, not flattened?  Fully expanded?14:44
cjwatsonlp:launchpad14:44
cjwatsonAnd fully expanded with respect to what?  You generally don't want to do a *full* expansion, only up to some interior seed.14:44
cjwatsonIt would help if I had some idea of what you were actually trying to do.14:45
cjwatson(But briefly!)14:45
=== 3JTAAEL6B is now known as tvoss
smoseri want a list of all packages required to build cloud-image seed.14:48
smoserand all packages that are installed by cloud-image seed.14:48
smoserand why would i not want to do a "full expansion"?14:49
=== jono is now known as Guest91193
cjwatsonsmoser: Because most things that actually do this in practice are installing them on top of a debootstrapped image and thus only want to expand relative to minimal (say)14:52
cjwatsonAlso because a full expansion is ridiculously enormous14:53
cjwatsonEven just the recursive (build-)depends expansion of required pulls in chunks of GNOME, KDE, Mono, ...14:54
cjwatsonWe need to know this to keep main self-contained, but it isn't useful for most other practical purposes14:54
smosercjwatson, i'm clearly missing something.14:55
smoserthe end goal is to get a list of packages that have to build in order to produce a given seed ('cloud-image').14:55
cjwatsonWell you can do that but I have no idea why.14:56
cjwatsonThat's not so much a reason as a deliverable.14:56
smoserwell if i want to produce alist of what is necessary to reach said deliverable.14:57
cjwatsonBut why?14:57
cjwatson</four-year-old>14:57
cjwatsonI mean, practically all of it is already done, unless this is for a new architecture14:57
cjwatson(In which case perhaps you could say so)14:57
smoser:)14:58
smoserthat is exactly it. and i was typing 'architecture' as you hit return.14:58
cjwatsonSo you can cat all the files together if you like.  I wouldn't bother building a tool for it if I were you.14:58
cjwatsonJust extract the seed list and pick out whichever field you want from all the files ... it's not something that's needed very often at all14:59
slangaseksmoser: hrm, infinity didn't already do this analysis?14:59
cjwatsonThat said, this is basically a textbook example of useless data generated to satisfy a statement of work14:59
cjwatsonVery little of the output is actually going to be required to reach the goal, and the data doesn't necessarily continue to represent what needs to be done15:00
cjwatsonSince the dependency expansions might change between now and completion15:00
smoseragreed that a one time static list isn't terribly useful.15:00
cjwatsonSo it's pointless work - the goal is "get to the cloud-image seed", not "build all these packages which might not all end up being necessary for that"15:00
cjwatsonFar easier to just build everything that will autobuild and then worry about what's left15:01
smoseri dont undersand "which might not all end up being necessary for that"15:01
smoserof course they're necessary or they would not be build-depends15:02
cjwatsonThey might not REMAIN build-depends15:02
cjwatsonThey're necessary NOW15:02
cjwatsonBut they might be removable without compromising the goal15:02
cjwatsonAnyway, if you need to do it because of $commercials, that's fine, I just wouldn't care that much about how elegant the tool you use to get there is15:03
cjwatsonJust scrape it all out of the obvious places and move on :)15:03
cjwatsonBut what I want to avoid is a customer saying that you haven't met your goal because you didn't build one of those intermediate packages, that ended up being removed because it was avoidable15:04
cjwatsonSo just be careful about how you present full expansions like that15:04
smoser"i want seed X" is the end goal.  the intermediate "well, you'll need this list of packages to get there" is what i'm after.15:08
xnoxsmoser: right and the full expansion will be very arch specific and many packages are different across i386/amd64/armhf etc. Thus you do want something like - equivalent of ubuntu-core, kernel, bootloader, and the rest of the expansion.15:09
xnox(excluding the previously mentioned items)15:09
cjwatsonFor a new architecture you just have to pick the most similar architecture and cat together the relevant bits of all the output files in the expansion of whichever seed you want in the structure file.  As I say it's doable in a shell pipeline and I don't think it's worth a tool, given that it comes up rarely and there are generally slight variations each time it does come up.15:15

pittislangasek: indeed; I restarted them timely now16:13
slangasekjodh: hey, so test-quiesce-cleanup16:22
slangasekjodh: I still haven't had a chance to look at the code and piece my argument together fully, but the rough strokes are this: you're modifying the test code to opportunistically kill() a dangling process, and you should never need to do that in the test suite, because the tests should be *deterministic* about whether there are processes left over16:23
jodhslangasek: see my latest comments - I changed the branch to do it deterministically.16:24
slangasekjodh: either the shutdown is done in the right order, modeling our normal user session shutdown process, and everything gets cleaned up and there's nothing to kill, in which case it should be an error for the process to be left at the end; or you're modeling an out-of-order shutdown where the session init is being hard-killed from the outside, in which case we know the process should be left behind, and the test should consider it a fail16:24
slangasek... process *isn't* there16:24
slangasekjodh: oh, hadn't noticed that the branch itself was updated16:24
slangaseklet me look things over today then :)16:25
jodhslangasek: yeah - I've also added in big comments in the test code to explain what we're doing :)16:25
slangasekxnox: so did the cmake cross-compiling you did sidestep the question of qmake upstream divergence?16:31
xnoxslangasek: not really, no. moc / qtchooser are still brain dead and claim that "No Qt installation found". It stopped being on the critical path, but we do need to solve co-installability.16:34
slangasekxnox: for which case is co-installability needed?16:34
xnoxslangasek: e.g. qtbase5-dev is still not co-installable, and neither ubuntu-sdk. E.g. to be able to compile for multiple architectures on your host machine, without using chroots. Or e.g. have one chroot that can compile to i386/amd64/armhf/arm64....16:37
xnoxslangasek: e.g. iphone 5S is ARM64 are we gonna hook them up as buildds? =)16:37
slangasekblink16:39
slangasekit's arm64?16:39
cjwatsonxnox: That isn't a blocker, though; I plan to just have one-per-arch chroot management16:39
slangasekbut yeah, we can get by for now with one chroot per target arch16:40
slangasekit's not ideal, but it works16:40
slangasekI just wanted to make sure we weren't blocked because we need both native *and* foreign copies of the package installed for cross-building16:40
xnoxslangasek: cjwatson: right. so one-per-arch chroot would work with cmake.16:43
xnoxslangasek: but we do really really want your bugfix debian #722045 applied as e.g. some qt sdk packages depend on python somewhere down the line for scripts et. al.16:45

dobeyhi all. can i get someone to ack the ubuntuone-client 3.0.2-0ubuntu2 upload to precise-proposed? would like to get that SRU out quickly if possible as it fixes a rather annoying bug :)18:10
pitticjwatson: did you freeze saucy until grub2 lands?18:53
pitticjwatson: since the grub2 amd64 build is now trapped in "unapproved", I can't make much sense of this18:54
pitticjwatson: it's not frozen in LP18:54
pitticjwatson: the i386 made it through; I guess we can just approve it from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+queue?queue_state=1 ?18:55
pittijibel: ^ FYI18:55
pitticjwatson, jibel: the powerpc build got auto-accepted, and there is a propagation block on it, so I took the liberty to accept the amd64 build from unapproved, so that the mayhem in the autopkgtests stop19:03
pitti(however it ended up in unapproved in the first place)19:03
infinitypitti: Anything with signed bits lands in unapproved.19:03
pittiinfinity: ah, that's because i386 isn't signed?19:04
infinitypitti: Only amd64 produces an efi tarball, yes.19:04
infinityYou're meant to take that opportunity to verify the build matches the upload and the upload doesn't contain something that's going to trojan the world.19:05
infinityI'm sure you did that, right? :)19:05
pittiI personally identified every single bit19:05
pittiinfinity: more seriously, how is that being done? if we don't trust our buildds, what makes grub special?19:06
pittiI doubt that anyone can verify the binary results, even a genius like cjwatson?19:06
infinitypitti: Oh, I verify the trust path from the archive to the buildds.19:06
infinitypitti: But not from random core-devs uploading to pushing an efi blob signed by Canonical's key.19:07
infinitypitti: Hence checking the diff to make sure it was sane (or trusted).19:07
infinitypitti: In this case, it being a Colin upload, the "trust" part probably works.19:07
pittiinfinity: ah; well, I did check the diff, yes19:07
infinitypitti: This was the compromise between not completely locking down upload rights for the kernel and grub, and still being paranoid about our EFI key so Microsoft doesn't go and revoke us tomorrow.19:08
pittiinfinity: thanks for the heads-up19:08
* infinity realized this was probably never well communicated to all archive admins.19:08
infinitys/realized/realizes/19:08
pittiinfinity: at least my mind now changed from "huh!?!?" to "yes, that makes sense"19:09

pittiScottK: all tests fail right now due to grub219:10
ScottKOK.19:10
pitticf. me being anxious go get above fix in ASAP :)19:10
pittiScottK: we'll retry all failed tests after ubuntu3 is in the archive19:11
infinitypitti: Wait, new bootloader uploads to proposed completely break your test infrastructure?19:11
infinitypitti: This seems suboptimal. :)19:11
pittiinfinity: no, base packages failing to upgrade do19:11
pittiinfinity: well, in a way that's good19:11
infinitypitti: Oh, the update-grub failure.  Check.19:11
pittiinfinity: we do not *ever* want this near saucy, so any possibility of failing the gating is good19:11
infinitypitti: I forgot that it was actually *broken*.  That was, like, an hour ago.19:12
pittiof course in this case the tests wouldn't actually have held back grub ubuntu2, that was cjwatson's manual block19:12
infinitygrub2 gets held back until someone upload grub2-signed anyway.19:13

slangasekoh, now it is19:56
slangasekworks better when the guest isn't running19:56
infinitydobey: (looking)19:57
infinitydobey: There seems to be no particular explanation as to why removal of zeitgesist is the fix for this bug...19:58
slangasektarpman: so in this configuration, /etc/fstab is empty; I don't imagine that helps mountall figure out how to mount the rootfs20:00
dobeyinfinity: hmm. should i copy/paste the zeitgeist related error from the attached log on the bug, into the description? the zeitgeist logging stuff was never actually used, and we aren't going to add a feature to use it, so it was easier to just backport its removal (as it's already gone in newer versions)20:02
tarpmanslangasek: looking at the stdout of mountall, it seems to be ok with deducing it from mountinfo20:03
tarpmanslangasek: when I was trying with nolock I wrote an fstab like '10.0.2.1:/srv/nfsroot/raring / nfs rw,nolock 0 1' and it didn't change much20:03
infinitydobey: Just explaining in the SRU justification why zeitgeist is being removed would help.20:04
infinitydobey: Right now, the justification sort of reads like "there's a bug, so we should fix it," without discussion of what and how.20:04
infinitydobey: A bit opaque to someone looking back through history (or to me reviewing blind)20:05
dobeyinfinity: you mean the "impact" section?20:05
dobeyor in the test case?20:05
slangasektarpman: ok.  so at the moment, it looks like mountall has succeeded in mounting all the virtual filesystems, but then gets stuck, I currently have no idea why - but I can reproduce the failure, so should be able to make progress from here, thanks20:08
tarpmanslangasek: great! thanks for working on this, let me know if I can help any more20:08
slangasekoh that's not cool, I get different behavior when booting with --debug vs. --verbose. :P20:12
infinitydobey: The impact/justification section, whatever you want to call it.  The description. :P20:13
infinitydobey: Or even just in a bug comment.20:13
infinitydobey: I'm less picky about formatting and more about there just being some reasoning given for the change at hand, since it's not something simple like "The string 'foo' should say 'bar'" which is easy to unwind and review.20:14

dobeyinfinity: updated description with a [Fix] section. :)20:17
infinitydobey: Perfect, that tells me what I need to know to be less scared. :)20:18
infinitydobey: And to be clear, removing the zeitgeist-core recommends is just the Right Thing To Do because it no longer has the integration, but having it installed (which it will be on upgrade) will not cause any harm?20:19
dobeyinfinity: right. zeitgeist being installed won't cause any issue with u1. we just don't depend on it any more. it will be installed by default anyway, as unity and stuff depend on it20:20

=== salem_ is now known as _salem
slangasekxnox: so if I have a livefs written to a USB stick, and I want it to be UEFI bootable but I want to add extra partitions to make use of the extra space on the stick (for e.g., persistence data, or something else), what's the right way to do that?  Last I checked, usb-creator didn't quite get this right... and trying to change things by hand with gdisk or parted doesn't help either, because they both want to start the first partition at s20:27
slangasek... not at sector 0 where the isofs starts20:28
slangasekand casper is perfectly happy to mount /dev/sdb rather than /dev/sdb1, but then the kernel isn't happy letting me mount the other partitions :)20:28
stgraberslangasek: I guess in such case, you'd be better off making a clean EFI bootable USB stick without the weird partition table. So create a GPT pasrtition table with the first partition being vfat containing the content of the iso image, then whatever partition you want after that.20:29
slangasekstgraber: why vfat, instead of just blatting the ISOfs to the partition?20:29
stgraberslangasek: because the iso image contains a gpt/fat/whatever partition table to try and get everything to boot it20:30
stgraberwhich likely confuses the kernel a fair bit20:30
slangasekstgraber: if it's all inside partition1, that wouldn't matter20:30
slangasekthe kernel isn't going to recursively look for partition tables :)20:31
slangasekbut yeah, in general moving the ISO contents to a partition seems to be the sanest way20:31
stgraberhmm, true, not sure what the firmware will think of that partition (since you'd have a clean GPT with the first partition containing a gpt+vfat+hfs+iso header)20:31
slangasekstgraber: hopefully it will think the same, or the firmware is quite buggy too :)20:34

=== vibhav is now known as Guest34507
slangasektarpman: ok, so the root mount is being blocked by two separate -mounting jobs - statd and idmapd.  If I move them both to virtual-filesystems instead of local-filesystems, the nfsroot instance starts up without hangs21:36
slangasektarpman: for statd, moving this to start on virtual-filesystems looks correct.  For idmapd, because it's located on /usr which may be a separate partition, I don't see an obvious way to fix this generically until we start handling /usr mounting from the initramfs21:37
tarpmanslangasek: theoretically idmapd shouldn't be necessary for an nfsroot since it can't be on nfsv4. but i'm not sure how one might explain that to upstart...21:44
slangasektarpman: why can't it be on nfsv4?21:44
tarpmanslangasek: (and, well, /usr could be nfsv4 even if / isn't)21:44
tarpmanslangasek: uh, [citation needed]. one sec21:44
slangasekit can't be on nfsv4 with gss auth, to be sure; but there's non-gss nfsv421:44
slangasekand the kernel tries v4 by default now when you ask it for nfs21:45
slangasekbut I dunno about nfsroot21:45
slangasektarpman: so if we *could* say "idmapd can't possibly be used for nfsroot", then I can adjust the idmapd-mounting job to exclude MOUNTPOINT=/21:46
slangasekactually, even if we can't say that, I could still do the above to get things working for people :)21:46
tarpmanI really thought I read a mailing list post not so long ago saying that the kernel nfsroot code didn't understand v4 yet, but of course I can't find it now. stupd selective memory21:47
