DalekSecapw: There's a typo in the linux-image-${version}-generic depends, linux-initramfs-tools → linux-initramfs-tool01:45
apwDalekSec, hmm08:14
DalekSecapw: Understandable mixup, considering the description and title of the bug have that same typo.11:02
DalekSecHowever, check on a real Debian system and see that linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae, dracut, cryptsetup, etc, etc have it.11:03
apwDalekSec, what was the bug number ?11:05
DalekSec110902911:06
DalekSecapw: Thanks for taking a look at the silly thing.11:06
apwbah, well thats trash isn't it11:07
DalekSecPretty much, aye.  And if I were to nitpick, d/changelog has a typo, but that hardly matters. :P11:08
apwthese being  virtual packages and therefore not apt-cache able isn't helping any either11:09
DalekSecNo, that's pretty useless too.11:10
apwand worse there even is a linux-initramfs-tools virtual package _as_well_ who provides that, damn you tools11:11
DalekSecWhaaat? >_<11:12
apwclearly whoever asked for it isn't testing either, if its taken 4 months for anyone to notice, sigh11:12
apwN: Can't select versions from package 'linux-initramfs-tools' as it is purely virtual11:12
apwN: Can't select versions from package 'linux-initramfs-tool' as it is purely virtual11:13
apwnot that it seems east to find out who is offering the former11:13
DalekSecWell, to be fair it's pretty hard considering the troubles with plymouth and all.  In order to test again, I had to rebuild kbd, plymouth, console-setup, watershed, and a few more.11:13
DalekSecMaybe just the kernel?11:13
apwthe kernel seems an odd thing to offer that11:15
apwand i don't recall ours doing so11:15
DalekSeclists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_wily_main_binary-i386_Package seems to think just the kernel that depends on it.11:15
apwas in the kenrle consuming it, is making it ?11:16
DalekSecI'd believe so, http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/linux-initramfs-tool vs http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/linux-initramfs-tools ?11:17
DalekSec(vs https://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-initramfs-tool )11:18
apwbah, this bug needs fixing11:19
DalekSec(Ah!  apparmor, that was the other one!)11:20
DalekSecGot the description too, just to be clearer.11:22
apwok filed another bug to fix it in the kernel11:25
DalekSecGreat thanks, and sorry.11:26
apwDalekSec, i assume you are testing in wily by now11:31
DalekSecapw: Wily FDE, just to make it fun (or because I'm a masochist)11:31
apwgreat, then that is applied to wily for the next upload11:32
infinityapw: "N: Can't select versions from package 'linux-initramfs-tools' as it is purely virtual" is because the kernel depended on it, nothing provides it.11:33
infinityapw: (A bit confusing, I know)11:33
apwthen again it also says that for linux-initramfs-tool which two things do provide11:34
infinityapw: Right.11:34
apwhopeless tools :/11:34
infinityapw: The "pure virtual" message is just poorly worded.  It really means "some packages reference this name, but no package is called that".11:34
DalekSecinfinity: Can I bug you later about adding that alt dep? :P11:34
infinityDalekSec: To...?11:35
DalekSecinfinity: Pinged sbea ttie about apparmor, but there's kbd too that should be an otherwise no-change.  While console-setup works, that actually has some initramfs config.11:36
infinityDalekSec: To be perfectly honest, while I can go and add the alt dep here and there where it's needed, I also have zero urge to support such configurations.  Unlike Debian, Ubuntu isn't about "give people 100 choices and make sure they all work".11:36
DalekSecSure, understandable.  I'm just trying to get it to an installable state.11:36
apwmost of those would come to us for free if debian was fixed11:36
infinityDalekSec: I get that.  I'm just saying that might be counter-productive.11:37
infinityDalekSec: Cause then all of us have to field bug reports from people "trying dracut" and booting slightly differently.11:37
DalekSecinfinity: Yeah, thought of that.  It is a very valid concern.11:37
infinityDalekSec: It's disingenuous to say "don't worry, this is a minor change that's zero effort", cause it *will* generate work.11:37
infinityI'm reminded of the flood of bug reports we had on trusty and utopic with people booting with init=/lib/systemd/systemd11:38
infinityWhich were a royal pain to weed out.11:38
=== swordsma- is now known as swordsmanz
infinityBut at least that was a change we were planning to make.11:39
infinityWe have no intention of switching to dracut.11:39
DalekSecinfinity: FWIW, ubuntu-minimal still depends on initramfs-tools.11:39
ogra_because it is an essential bit of any ubuntu system ? 11:39
infinityDalekSec: You say that like people don't remove minimal when they want to play. :)11:39
DalekSec...I did not do that, nooo. :311:40
DalekSecogra_: Right, but maybe I'm giving people too much credit by thinking they'll go "Hey, this sounds important, maybe I shouldn't."11:40
infinityDalekSec: Anyhow, it's just something to consider.  Maybe adding something to apport to report on the provider of /usr/sbin/update-initramfs would be enough to bin any such bug reports as suspicious.11:40
ogra_DalekSec, well, and you shouldnt :) 11:41
infinityogra_: Well, he's fully aware of what he's doing, so that's fine.11:41
ogra_infinity, he ... yes :) 11:41
infinityMy concern is people who read a blog post, or are systemd fanboys who hear "dracut == systemd" and decide they have to switch to be hip and cool...11:41
infinityThose people will generate a ton of noise.11:41
ogra_"someone" isnt ... and should be alerted if ubuntu-minimal wants to be removed :) 11:42
infinityI fear the day when everyone thinks they should switch from grub to gummiboot and file bugs on us after breaking that...11:42
DalekSecWell, can one really say that?  I'm just rebuilding console-setup, dracut, watershed, kbd, plymouth, and apparmor (and yes, only installed to a VM so far, for sanity.)11:42
ogra_lol, well, we will have switched x86 to uboot by then11:42
infinityogra_: Eh?11:43
* ogra_ grins11:43
infinityogra_: Not sure how uboot relates. :P11:43
ogra_they would need to use ugummiboot then ;) 11:43
infinityogra_: You're aware that systemd pulled in gummiboot into their tree and is pushing it as the One True Bootloader to go with all their other One True Userspace bits.11:43
ogra_insane11:43
infinityYeah.  If systemd was just an init system, I'd be much happier with them. :/11:44
DalekSec^ and it might actually be likeable as they could focus on fixing bugs more.11:44
ogra_well, even widespread bootloaders still have tons of bugs ... its just one more potentially broken thing 11:46
DalekSecBut better to have more testing and integration than fringe and barely tested.11:47
infinityAnyhow, back to work with me.11:48
DalekSecAwwh, oh well. :P11:48
ogra_well, i cant imagine a better tested bootloader on arm than uboot for example ... 11:50
ogra_i know there are some grub ports for 32bit arm ... but nobody ever used them in a serious env 11:50
ogra_whyy would i switch any of my devices to a new thing thats less tested and less established11:51
jdstrandogasawara, sforshee: fyi, 4.1.0-1.1~rc2-generic fixes bug #1473560 for me (and I commented in the bug). Thanks a lot! :)13:41
ubot5bug 1473560 in linux (Ubuntu) "microphone regression on 4.1" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/147356013:41
ogasawarajdstrand: sweet, thanks for testing13:42
jdstrandIt was absolutely my pleasure. I like having working hardware :)13:42
ogasawarasforshee: and thanks for the heavy lifting there13:45
=== __bjf is now known as bjf
sforsheeogasawara: np, it was pretty easy once I found out there was already a fix upstream13:47
infinityogra_: Oh hey, you might know the answer to this.  Do we still attempt to support any devices with kernels older than 3.4?14:17
ogra_not older i think 14:17
infinityogra_: Aurelien is pushing to bump the glibc MIN_VERSION to 3.2.0 in Debian, which I think is sane for us to follow suit on in Ubuntu, but I'm worried someone will whine about it breaking on an ancient Android kernel of doom.14:17
ogra_but the phones have 3.4 kernels 14:17
ogra_i think 3.2 should be fine ... 14:18
ogra_for safety reasons you should ask john-mcalleele14:18
infinityogra_: We used to have some 3.0.0 device (original nexus7 maybe?), but perhaps everyone stopped caring?14:18
ogra_that was the original galaxy nexus ... but thats dead14:19
apwgrouper or something14:26
ogra_no, maguro i think 14:27
infinityI vaguely recall removing that from the archive.14:27
infinityI should double-check, though.14:27
ogra_i think grouper was actually 3.2 ... ICBW though14:27
infinity3.1 maybe?14:31
infinityIt was something weird.14:31
infinityYeah, 3.1 .. And I removed it in vivid.  \o/14:31
infinityAnd maguro has been gone since utopic.14:31
infinitySo, yay.14:31
ogra_yeah14:33

argesapw: how does debian.master/config/annotations work? I did an updateconfig after adding a config option and one of the enforced CONFIG options doesn't seem to want to be set. 16:27
argesthis is for ppc64el/powerpc6416:28
apwdefine didn't want to be set, and which one16:28
argesapw: CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV_RTAS doesn't get set to 'y' when adding a patch for OPAL_PRD MTD_POWERNV_FLASH16:28
argesbug 1464560 fwiw16:29
ubot5bug 1464560 in linux (Ubuntu) "Backport request: include PRD support for OpenPower kernels" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/146456016:29
apwwhat ENFORCED means is, when building the config for a build if that value does not match annotations fail the build16:29
apwit doesn't make it set or anything16:29
apwand doesn't make it set if the config is internally inconsistant16:29
argesso i'm not seeing an error, it seems to complete just fine and then unset that CONFIG16:29
apwso you set it =y by hand, and then fdr updateconfigs and it is now of ?16:29
apwoff?16:29
argesapw: yea setting it manually and updateconfigs turn it back off16:30
apwthat is unrelated to the enfocer then, that is to do with the config not being compatible with it being on16:30
argesapw: "powerpc/powernv: Remove powernv RTAS support" <-- this patch may be the reason : )16:30
apwheh16:30
argesapw: so if we have a patch that removes support should I update that file to not enforce that?16:31
arges(hopefully i'm not breaking something in which that was enforvced in the first place)16:31
argesapw: yea looks like it never worked in the first place. I'll just update the file and config.16:33
