| Noskcaj | wgrant, That's one of your pages isn't it? ^ | 00:57 |
| wgrant | Noskcaj: ajmitch knows that code better, I think, but I'll have a look if he doesn't. | 01:01 |
| wgrant | It was probably the dist-upgrade last week. | 01:01 |
| ajmitch | wgrant: I'll poke it & see | 01:01 |
| wgrant | ajmitch: The webapp was working fine at the time, but maybe the import script is unhappy. | 01:02 |
| wgrant | I didn't think to check that. | 01:02 |
| ajmitch | partly because it's so old & outdated | 01:04 |
| ajmitch | Noskcaj: fixed | 01:10 |
| wgrant | ajmitch: Thanks. What was the issue? | 01:11 |
| ajmitch | wgrant: using a python extension that linked to libapt_pkg for version comparisons | 01:12 |
| ajmitch | not something packaged, so it just needed to be rebuilt | 01:13 |
| wgrant | Ahh | 01:13 |
| wgrant | We ran into the same problem with LP a couple of months ago. | 01:14 |
| ajmitch | it's only about 10 years old | 01:14 |
| ajmitch | plus there was a script trying to run python2.5 (since 2.4 was just too old) | 01:15 |

| pitti | infinity: can you please remind me and mbiebl_: why do we need *both* the sysvinit (update-rc.d) and the systemd trigger update? | 07:51 |
| infinity | pitti: Different corner cases. Either one addresses the simple "policy compliant deb that calls update-rc.d but not invoke-rc.d" case, but each addresses different cases that aren't that. | 07:56 |
| infinity | pitti: sysvinit also covers the "install without a package, but use update-rc.d" case, and the trigger also covers the "install from a deb that doesn't use update-rc.d" case. | 07:57 |
| infinity | pitti: Neither one addresses every possible corner case (only fixing systemd itself could do that), but both together cover enough that it's probably "good enough for now". | 07:57 |
| pitti | infinity: ah, ok; the first case sounded a bit strange to me, but sure | 07:57 |
| pitti | infinity: but as the latter would be an RC bug in that particular package, I'm not sure how happy the Debian release team would be about such a change two weeks before the release; or did you already happen to talk to them? | 07:58 |
| infinity | pitti: I'll talk to them. The fix is (I think) obviously non-invasive and not regression-inducing. A tiny performance impact, but nothing worth fretting about (and a no-op on upgrades from wheezy, since systemd isn't running yet). | 07:59 |
| pitti | ack; I'll do the commit/upload then | 08:00 |
| infinity | pitti: Actually, I'm not sure the latter WOULD be a policy violation. | 08:01 |
| infinity | pitti: Policy says "However, it must not be assumed by maintainer scripts that this method is being used, and any automated manipulation of the various runlevel behaviors by maintainer scripts must be performed using update-rc.d as described below and not by manually installing or removing symlinks." | 08:01 |
| infinity | pitti: One could infer from that that if you wanted to install an init script that *doesn't* have rc.d symlinks and is only started/stopped by hand, you don't need to call upadte-rc.d | 08:02 |
| infinity | pitti: And systemd should still be aware of those scripts, so you can start them properly. | 08:02 |
| infinity | pitti: Later, there's a "should register with update-rc.d", but not a must. | 08:03 |
| infinity | pitti: So, yeah, I'd say it's not RC to ship an init script with no runlevel, just weird. | 08:04 |
| infinity | pitti: But having it fail to work would be RC, so... | 08:04 |
| mbiebl_ | morning pitti, infinity | 08:04 |
| pitti | hey mbiebl_ | 08:04 |
| mbiebl_ | just checked all the packages shipping init scripts in the Debian archive | 08:04 |
| mbiebl_ | i didn't find one which one installs without update-rc.d | 08:05 |
| infinity | mbiebl_: To be clear, I didn't think the trigger would be necessary for packages in the archive. | 08:05 |
| infinity | I just think it's still the right thing to do. | 08:05 |
| * infinity shrugs. | 08:05 | |
| mbiebl_ | infinity: hm, k | 08:05 |
| infinity | (Well, it would have been necessary without the update-rc.d fix, but yeah...) | 08:05 |
| mbiebl_ | right | 08:05 |
| mbiebl_ | my impression from our discussion was, that we needed one or the other but not necessariliy both | 08:06 |
| mbiebl_ | (btw, thanks for the sysv upload) | 08:06 |
| pitti | mbiebl_: so, I don't mind committing this to master if the RT agrees; it just feels way below RC to me | 08:06 |
| infinity | pitti: I think it's right from a point of view of "polish", which isn't always "RC" in the "completely broken" sense, but it still seems right. | 08:09 |
| infinity | pitti: But I can get a release ack before upload, if that makes you feel better. | 08:09 |
| mbiebl_ | pitti: something else I wanted to discuss with you (and possibly didrocks) is the default-display-manager behaviour | 08:11 |
| mbiebl_ | It just happened to me the other day, that I wanted to test a boot without graphical login | 08:11 |
| mbiebl_ | so I ran systemctl disable gdm.service | 08:11 |
| mbiebl_ | which did remove the display-manager.service symlink | 08:12 |
| mbiebl_ | upon reboot, gdm was running though | 08:12 |
| mbiebl_ | it took me a while to remember that the generator had created a start symlinks because of /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 08:12 |
| mbiebl_ | and I don't think it should do that | 08:13 |
| mbiebl_ | because /e/X/d shouldn't decide about the enabled/disabled state | 08:13 |
| mbiebl_ | only about which one is the configured one if multiple are installed | 08:14 |
| didrocks | there are a lot of dms not transitionned in debian to use a systemd unit | 08:15 |
| didrocks | that would mean, there is no way to ensure not 2dms (a systemd ones and an init-only one) would not be started | 08:15 |
| didrocks | hence the whole work and discussion to have /etc/X11/default-display-manager as the source of truth | 08:16 |
| darkxst | didrocks, except that is just a bunch of packaging hacks currently, no? | 08:17 |
| mbiebl_ | didrocks: it's ok to make /e/X/d decide which one is the configured default | 08:18 |
| didrocks | darkxst: the d-d-m setting default? It's not, it's a generator | 08:18 |
| pitti | well yes, obviously it'd be better to fix all the DMs in sid/vivid, but we aren't there yet (and freeze, etc.) | 08:18 |
| mbiebl_ | but the generator should not automatically re-enable services which have been disabled by the admin | 08:18 |
| didrocks | mbiebl_: it's not if it's masked | 08:18 |
| didrocks | which was your latest request, that is implemented IIRC | 08:18 |
| darkxst | didrocks, isnt it generated by debconf? | 08:19 |
| pitti | the link is | 08:20 |
| didrocks | darkxst: it's a systemd generator, see above ^ we are not talking about the postinst thingy | 08:20 |
| pitti | the systemd generator turns that into unit config | 08:20 |
| mbiebl_ | didrocks: I did remember that we discussed that a while ago and i think I mentioned the same issue back then | 08:20 |
| pitti | mbiebl_: still better IMHO than attempting to start two DMs | 08:21 |
| pitti | let's face it -- systemd can only do so much while we still have broken DM packages | 08:21 |
| didrocks | mbiebl_: you were ok at the time that masking would be sufficient | 08:21 |
| mbiebl_ | pitti: two DMs are only started if you have a combination of native .service file and sysv init script | 08:22 |
| mbiebl_ | only sysv init scripts -> all existing ones have the check for /e/X/d-d-m | 08:22 |
| didrocks | not nodm | 08:22 |
| mbiebl_ | only systemd units -> only one can provide the symlink | 08:22 |
| mbiebl_ | didrocks: nodm is broken, so I don't really care | 08:23 |
| pitti | mbiebl_: precisely that was the case, no? e. g. gdm + nodm | 08:23 |
| didrocks | well, that was one of the inputs to get it fixed though | 08:23 |
| didrocks | we got bug reports about it | 08:23 |
| didrocks | (doesn't impact ubuntu as we don't have nodm) | 08:23 |
| mbiebl_ | if nodm doesn't check /e/X/ddm it's also broken under sysv? | 08:24 |
| darkxst | oh right, I see | 08:25 |
| mbiebl_ | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=748668 | 08:26 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 748668 in slim "slim: Under systemd, randomly hijacks default-x-display-manager ignoring default selection" [Important,Fixed] | 08:26 |
| mbiebl_ | I don't see nodm mentioned there | 08:26 |
| mbiebl_ | it's about mixing non-systemd enabled DMs like slim with e.g. gdm | 08:26 |
| didrocks | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770219 | 08:27 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 770219 in nodm "nodm does not start" [Normal,Open] | 08:27 |
| didrocks | didn't start because another dm was started through systemd IIRC | 08:28 |
| didrocks | (when doing some vm tests) | 08:28 |
| didrocks | this is quite months old, don't remember exactly | 08:28 |
| mbiebl_ | doesn't look systemd specific | 08:28 |
| mbiebl_ | as said, the nodm package just looks broken and I don't think we should model around that package | 08:28 |
| mbiebl_ | didrocks: all I would do, if both a sysv DM is installed and a native systemd DM unit | 08:30 |
| mbiebl_ | and the display-manager.service symlink exists but doesn't match /e/X/ddm | 08:30 |
| mbiebl_ | is to runtime mask that service | 08:31 |
| mbiebl_ | easy and simple | 08:31 |
| didrocks | I'll let you and pitti sorting it out, TBH, I'm a little bit tired about the bikeshedding around it | 08:31 |
| didrocks | there was a need, we addressed it, was almost RC for some | 08:31 |
| didrocks | if you want to drop it, ok | 08:31 |

| dannf | Odd_Bloke: sounds like it | 15:37 |
| Odd_Bloke | OK, cool. | 15:37 |
| dannf | i think the only remaining open issue was to make the boot non-interactive by fixing the grub install | 15:37 |

| dannf | awesome! | 15:38 |
| dannf | yeah, utopic/trusty will need hand holding to boot even after the images are fixed. utopic should be fine after the next SRU cycle | 15:38 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: The "fs0:; cd efi; BOOTaa64.EFI" dance is still fine for "non-interactive" boot? | 15:40 |
| Odd_Bloke | (That is presumably the result of the BIOS that we're using, rather than the images?) | 15:40 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: oh, no - that needs to be repaired | 15:40 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: think about it in an openstack environment, where you can't talk to the vm until ssh is up | 15:41 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: So when the "The default boot selection" countdown hits 0, we should be straight in to grub? | 15:42 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: (Yeah, makes sense, I had just assumed that there was EFI/BIOS magic that did something something *waves hands*) | 15:43 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: yeah. it could be a problem w/ the bios image as well - but i thought they had the right entries | 15:43 |

| dannf | Odd_Bloke: from your "dance" commandline, it looks like it might be under \efi, not under \efi\boot? | 15:46 |
| Odd_Bloke | Ah, looks like we're creating \efi\bootaa64.efi | 15:46 |
| Odd_Bloke | :) | 15:46 |
| dannf | jinx :) | 15:46 |
| Odd_Bloke | /kick Odd_Bloke JINX | 15:46 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: OK, I'll get that in the right place and see if boot becomes non-interactive | 15:47 |
| dannf | cool - hope that's it :) | 15:47 |

| Odd_Bloke | dannf: Hm, if I enter the Boot Manager and Add Boot Device Entry, then I can boot using that option in the boot menu. | 16:29 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: you mean w/o moving it under 'boot\'? | 16:38 |
| flexiondotorg | Will anyone be piloting today? | 16:39 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: yeah - i'd expect that to work. but that wouldn't let us autoboot on someone else's complaint EFI firmware blob | 16:39 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: No, having moved it under boot; it still didn't work having moved it. | 16:40 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: The first option I have in the boot menu is "Linux (EFI stub) on virtio31:hd0:part0"; is that trying to load the kernel directly rather than go through grub? | 16:41 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: ah, maybe | 16:42 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: in that case, i think it's a bad fw blob. which blob are you using? i don't recall which one i suggested | 16:43 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: http://people.canonical.com/~vorlon/edk2-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd.native | 16:44 |
| dannf | oh, ok. i'll try to come up with a better one to test with. | 16:45 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: do you have a cloudimage build i can use to do that, or should i just wait for a daily? | 16:45 |
| Odd_Bloke | dannf: I'll push up something I've built locally for you, give me a minute. | 16:46 |
| dannf | Odd_Bloke: ack | 16:47 |
| tseliot | Riddell: grepping through the lightdm sources, I've found debian/lightdm.config which contains the following (stolen from xdm): http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10774657/ | 17:02 |
| tseliot | Riddell: also, what I was saying is that my patch is useless since things won't work on log out anyway, as sddm won't restart X on logout | 17:03 |
| Riddell | tseliot: so it's based on X restarting which sddm doesn't do? | 17:20 |
| tseliot | Riddell: yep. So having a working login is the only thing we can get now (which is still better than a black screen) | 17:22 |
| tseliot | Riddell: and for that we simply need: 1) the default display manager file, 2) a slight change in gpu-manager (which I only have to upload), and 3) the DisplayCommand entry in sddm.conf | 17:23 |
| Riddell | tseliot: 3) is done, I guess I need to work out what this .config file is doing | 17:25 |
| tseliot | Riddell: it's just debconf black magic. I think a simple copy & paste should work | 17:26 |
| tseliot | Riddell: so, the .config file, and the relevant parts of .postinst and .prerm. You really can't miss them, as they have $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE in them | 17:30 |
| tseliot | copy & paste those parts and it should work | 17:30 |
| mdeslaur | Riddell: can you test the fix for 1400730 please? Else, it will get superseded by a security update soon. | 17:32 |
| Riddell | bug 1400730 | 17:32 |
| ubottu | bug 1400730 in libxext (Ubuntu Utopic) "libxext fills up .xsession-errors log files" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1400730 | 17:32 |
| Riddell | ah yes that's been on my todo list for months | 17:33 |
| mdeslaur | Riddell: thanks | 17:33 |
| Riddell | tseliot: nothing there seems to create DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE it only does something if it exists | 17:38 |
| tseliot | Riddell: that's what the .config script does. I also forgot to mention the .templates file. This document explains how it works: http://www.fifi.org/doc/debconf-doc/tutorial.html#AEN113 | 17:44 |
| Riddell | tseliot: I think it's lightdm.postinst which makes the file | 17:46 |
| tseliot | Riddell: if it doesn't exist, yes: echo "$DAEMON_NAME" > "$DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE" | 17:47 |
| Riddell | right | 17:47 |
| tseliot | you need debconf only to ask the user if more choices are available | 17:47 |

| octoquad | Hi, for Remmina upstream patches, should this be provided as a debdiff or bzr branch for affected releases? | 20:43 |
| freyes | octoquad, it's up to the maintainer of the package, but they usually prefer a debdiff | 21:56 |
| infinity | dannf / Odd_Bloke: You shouldn't actually have to press a key to continue (despite the prompt claiming otherwise), it times out in a few seconds. | 22:11 |
| infinity | dannf / Odd_Bloke: If that's not true, it's not the bug I'm thinking of, but I'm pretty sure it it. | 22:12 |
| dannf | infinity: i think there are 2 bugs - one w/ the video error, the other due to a misinstalled grub spitting syntax errors | 22:12 |
| infinity | dannf: Ahh, the syntax error thing is different indeed. The video mode and "press any key to continue" bits, though, we see on PPC, and they're harmless, just annoying. | 22:13 |
