[10:02] <popey> mcphail, ugh
[10:27] <popey> mcphail, how many things from proc does it want? I mean, if it's just /proc/cmdline, perhaps we can fake that :)
[11:34] <bartbes> mcphail: you might want to filter on something like /home anyway
[11:34] <bartbes> not being able to open /dev/shm or /dev/urandom isn't fun either
[11:36] <bartbes> unless you want to have a full sysroot in ~/.local/share ;)
[12:07] <popey> bartbes, mcphail to be fair, for some of these we could lobby the security team to allow them, as it seems reasonable to access things like urandom and cmdline to me
[12:13] <mcphail> I've simply taken a naive approach just now of chucking everything it asks for under the fakeroot, but a lot of these could just be filtered, I'm sure. I'll have a think if there is a generic way to deal with /proc/cmdline. I'll have a look again next week. Busy weekend at work coming up.
[12:18] <bartbes> why would it need /proc/cmdline anyway..
[12:30] <mcphail> bartbes: don't know. Some of these game frameworks load different config files if they are called with different names: e.g. gemrb loads bg1.conf if you have symlinked the name bg1 to the gemrb executable. I presume scummvm (which is what we are working with just now) does the same thing
[13:11] <popey> renatu, i still can't get sync to work anymore - i get this popup all the time and no matter what I do, it never fixes it (i re-sign into google) http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2016-01-14-131037.png
[13:16] <renatu> popey, try to move your "~/.config/syncevolution" to "~/.config/syncevolution.old", delete you syncevolution cache: "rm -rf ~/.cache/syncevolution", reboot the phone and try to sync again
[13:16] <popey> renatu, okay, will try that
[13:19] <bartbes> mcphail: /proc/cmdline is the kernel command line
[13:20] <bartbes> oh, nvm, it's /proc/<pid>/cmdline
[13:25] <jdstrand> popey: I don't have any problem with /dev/urandom (indeed, it is already allowed by the base abstraction). /proc/pid/cmdline is an info leak
[13:27] <popey> hmm
[13:28] <bartbes> even if it's /proc/self/cmdline?
[14:50] <mhall119> DanChapman: I'm supposed to give a convergence demo at UbuCon next week, and popey hinted that you might have an experimental build of Dekko with convergence features that I could use
[14:50] <popey> :)
[14:51] <ioanm> mhall119, your going to UbuCon lucky u
[14:53] <mhall119> ioanm: I'm helping organize it :) It'll be 4 days of me running around like a headless chicken
[14:54] <DanChapman> mhall119, I do! :-D I've just got to go and get the kids from school. I'll give you a ping when i'm back
[14:55] <mhall119> DanChapman: thanks!
[14:56]  * mhall119 really just hopes to replace Thunderbird on his desktop
