infinityIf someone's around to review, the above glibc is needed on arm64.  mwhudson may have tested one patch and then sent me another. :/08:22
infinity(This one was definitely tested this time... *sigh*)08:22
knomeinfinity, in the Release Notes, under "New Features in 14.04", does the subheading "Ubuntu" mean "Ubuntu Desktop" or "Common" (which i'd imagine what "Updated Packages" are)?09:19
cjwatsoninfinity: done09:39
knomeinfinity, the more i look at the release notes page, and the various ways how teams (want to?) do their release notes, the more i think we should just keep the flavors out of the generic release notes and make sure the generic page either (1) stays clean enough to be sane to link directly (2) has comments that allow "including" parts of the pages to the flavor-specific ones09:52
Laneycjwatson: did you want to unblock it too?09:59
cjwatsonoh duh, yeah, done10:01
* cjwatson uploads the source change necessary for ghc/ppc64el to unstable10:02
cjwatsonlast bootstrap stages should have finished by the time I can sync that10:02
knomewhat's the general thought about fixing a low, but annoying bug along with a high/critical bug during the final freeze?11:15
knome(in the same package)11:15
cjwatsonI'd probably be OK with it as long as the diff was clear and we could make a good estimate from it that the risk is low11:19
cjwatson(but away for a while now)11:19
knomeok, cheers11:19
zequenceWe might need to make a change in our seeds, and update our meta source (bluetooth stuff). Also, it would be great if we could get this uploaded Bug 129167511:33

knomezequence, you should be in touch with cyphermox about the bluetooth stuff, i think he could take care of that...11:34
knomesince it is, ultimately, a side-effect of what we're doing11:34
zequenceknome: Yep. I'll talk with him later. A bit in a hurry atm :)11:34

tumbleweedI'm completely out of touch these days, but ginggs asked me to look at bug 1289463. it's a tiny transition, so I'm tempted to approve it. any other opinions? (we often release with a broken cuda stack, and then fix it with SRUs, so screwing up here wouldn't be the end of the world)13:31

knomewell not the specific issue but generally pulling a few low-priority, low regression potential fixes in with the high/critical fix16:05
knomeand this would be the bunch ^16:05
slangasekmaclin: hi, looking at the bug now. do you need sponsorship+review, or just review?17:03
slangasekmaclin: well, I'm not able to load the bug page for some reason.  Do you have a code branch you can point me at for the fix?17:04
maclinslangasek, thanks, I need both of that:)17:04
maclinslangasek, the code branch is: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntukylin-members/ubuntu-kylin-software-center/trunk17:06
xnoxslangasek: should plymouth in shutdown mode, be started with "--attach-to-session" like we do on boot, and thus redirect all console output? (possibly further improving message less shut-down, no?)17:06
xnoxslangasek: maclin: https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubuntu-kylin-software-center/invalid-syntax/+merge/215325 hasn't been merged. So if we want another upload, i'd like that to be included as well.17:07
xnoxslangasek: i can review trunk and make another release.17:07
slangasekxnox: that'd be great, thanks17:07
slangasekxnox: --attach-to-session> I confess that the usage of this on startup but not shutdown predates me; not sure if that was a latent bug or if the semantics of the option changed since it was first deployed17:07
xnoxslangasek: i've used attach-to-session, and removed all lightdm "clear > /dev/tty7" and I still have messages-less shutdown. I'll open a bug about upgrading to that configuration and test it more. I guess it's for u-cycle, with possibly sru's.17:09
slangasekxnox: are we currently starting plymouthd on shutdown before lightdm is killed, and have we determined that this is safe?  (The last time I tried this I got bad things on shutdown)17:10
slangasekxnox: if not, then there's definitely a window between lightdm stop and plymouthd start where messages *may* be left on console17:10
maclinxnox,  i will check the merge17:11
xnoxslangasek: we explicetely enforce that lightdm stops, before plymouthd for shutdown is execed. I've added wait-for-state stopped in plymouth-shutdown.conf pre-start.17:11
slangasekxnox: in this case, I don't think you should drop the 'clear' from the lightdm job17:12
xnoxslangasek: right, i see. Was the problem with exec plymouthd, or executing "show-splash" whilst lightdm was still using it?17:12
slangasekxnox: since the 'clear' is there to deal with any kernel messages that may have been printed underneath lightdm while running17:12
slangasekxnox: I don't remember, sorry17:13
slangasekI think I was seeing problems with just the exec plymouthd while lightdm was running, no show-splash17:13
xnoxslangasek: re:lightdm kernel messages -> right makes sense.17:13
xnoxok.17:13
infinityzul: Your swift upload drops a patch as "no longer needed", but I see no indication of a fix in the new upstream.17:14
slangasekxnox: can confirm here that the serial console output here from plymouth-upstart-bridge is much prettier now, thanks17:14
infinityzul: Also,17:14
infinity+Breaks: swift-object (<< 1.12.0-0ubuntu2), swift-object (<< 1.13.1~rc1-0ubuntu1~)17:14
infinity+Replaces: swift-object (<< 1.12.0-0ubuntu2), swift-object (<< 1.13.1~rc1-0ubuntu1~)17:15
xnoxinfinity: what were your questions about upstart patch? i've tested it locally from test-build before uploading and I saw no ill effects. are there bugs that got uncovered somewhere?17:15
infinityzul: That makes no sense.  "foo (<< 1), foo (<< 2)" just means "foo (<< 2)"17:15
xnoxslangasek: excellent! =)17:15
infinityxnox: Hrm?  No, I haven't noticed any ill effects, I was just curious how carefully you reviewed it, since it was something I just banged out in a few minutes due to frustration, I didn't test or anything. :P17:16

ubot2Launchpad bug 1153661 in cryptsetup (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1305961 The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present" [Medium,Triaged]17:17
slangasekseriously, how do you think that's "confirming" a bug?17:17
* slangasek finds himself losing time studying the Chinese characters in the description of that uksc bug, and decides he should probably find something more productive to do with his time this morning17:19
infinityslangasek: You could come do my laundry.  I wouldn't say no.17:25
slangasekinfinity: oh, given those options I think I'll stay here and be amused that "software" has a literal translation17:26
xnoxslangasek: i need help with efibootmgr vs UEFI spec =) where do ACPI(a0341d0,0)PCI(4,0)03171000010000000000000000000000HD(1,800,f3800,9265fded-5be9-4265-a2c7-d5ebeba33954)File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi) values come from / what is their definition?17:26
infinityslangasek: Like "squishy goods"?17:27
xnoxslangasek: e.g. efibootmgr is failing to generate "HD(1,800,f3800,9265fded-5be9-4265-a2c7-d5ebeba33954)" from my device, instead it generates e.g. HD(1,0,0,1b960301), which tianocore is not happy about.17:27
xnox(and does not boot)17:27
slangasekinfinity: "soft goods", but yes17:27
slangasekxnox: ah, I don't know the answer to this17:28
slangasekxnox: is this nvme again?17:28
xnoxslangasek: yes =)17:28
slangasekxnox: hmm, I thought you got that fixed already by virtuous upgrades17:29
xnoxslangasek: oh, tianocore now knows about nvme, and our kernel/ubiquity/grub-installer do, the last portion to get it reboot out of the box is to get efibootmgr to generate the right entry. At the moment, i need to go into tianocore boot manager and add the right boot entry to boot it.17:30
xnoxi guess instead of reading the UEFI spec i can check tianocore sources to see how it decides what "HD(1,800,f3800,9265fded-5be9-4265-a2c7-d5ebeba33954)" means.17:30
slangasekxnox: ok, so all I can suggest is to look in the efibootmgr source; I suspect it's getting these values from EFI itself, so it might be a remaining edk2 bug17:31
xnoxslangasek: oh really, interesting.17:31
slangasek(I'm assuming you mean edk2 when you say tianocore, rather than one on a physical system?)17:31
xnoxslangasek: correct, i mean edk2.17:31
slangasekxnox: well, the one bit looks an awful lot like a UUID, which I'm sure efibootmgr isn't generating on its own17:31
maclinslangasek: xnox:  I have merged https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubuntu-kylin-software-center/invalid-syntax/+merge/215325, the new code is on https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntukylin-members/ubuntu-kylin-software-center/trunk17:31
xnoxslangasek: i see, i thought it would be GPT UUIDs or some-such but those didn't match.17:32
xnoxslangasek: also can i disable 3second grub-efi timeout on boot? it's annoying.17:33
slangasekxnox: ah, so I see (comparing with my own entries here) that the first field in the parens is the partition number; not sure about the others17:34
slangasekxnox: you can't disable it /in the archive/, it's the only way to make the boot menu accessible in UEFI17:34
slangasekyou can override it locally if you like17:34
xnoxi've set timeout and hidden timouts to zero, but that's not it.17:35
xnoxwhat's the "feature" name?17:35
slangaseknot sure17:35
slangasekthat's a cjwatson question :)17:36
slangasek(for my part, I think it was a mistake to upgrade to a version of grub that natively supports a rich scripting language, and then continue to generate the scripts from another language)17:37
xnoxslangasek: found definition of the headers. So it looks like NVMe support in edk2 is bogus. Second field is "Type an integer between 0-255 or else the keyword MBR or GPT" of which "800" is not it =)17:39
cjwatsonI don't know what timeout this is17:39
slangasekxnox: and the error is on the edk2 side, not the efibootmgr side?17:39
cjwatson(But I only just woke up from a nap, bit woozy)17:39
slangasekcjwatson: the EFI-can't-detect-shift-modifier timeout17:39
slangasekI seem to have that disabled here, but buggered if I know which of the settings in my /etc/default/grub actually did it17:40
xnoxcjwatson: with GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 i get a 3second count-down on boot, when fastpath boot is enabled on my laptop.17:40
slangasekxnox: and with GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true?17:41
xnoxslangasek: 3s delay without countdown printed on screen.17:41
slangasekreally?  I don't see any 3s delays in the source, only a 5s delay17:41
cjwatsonOK, I really don't recall, sorry, would have to look when I'm properly awake17:42
xnoxslangasek: i've tested it by setting a very visual grub2 background image which stays for 3 seconds. E.g.: cp /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png /boot/grub && update-grub && reboot17:42
cjwatson(Which isn't going to be today at this rate, urgh)17:42
infinitycjwatson: Waking up on Saturdays is overrated.17:42
xnoxcjwatson: no worries, you'll be able to experiment  / see it on my laptop next week =)17:43
* knome pours cjwatson a big cup of coffee17:43
infinitycjwatson: Do we want a udeb britney block, as a subtle reminder that we might need to respin d-i (as we currently do for my glibc upload, for instance)17:45
infinityWell, we don't *need* to, but I really dislike d-i not matching the sources.17:45
cjwatsonI guess it might be helpful17:45
cjwatsonThere's already code for it I think17:45
infinityYeah, block-all-udeb17:46
infinityI think.17:46
infinityOddly, not mentioned in the README, or I'm blind.17:47
infinityOkay, not mentioned in the source either, so I might be on something.17:48
infinityMeh, if I have to generate a "block-udeb" for every source that generates one, I think I just lost interest.17:49
xnoxslangasek: i found NVMe in the UEFI 2.4A spec, which defines special device path nodes.17:53
