[16:20] <doko> snowboarding!
[16:20] <bdmurray> I tagged 3 bug reports this week for that list
[16:20] <slangasek> so there's a 6-digit bug marked critical
[16:20] <Odd_Bloke> Snowboarding is a feature, not a bug, doko. ;)
[16:20] <bdmurray> bug 940030
[16:20] <ubottu> bug 940030 in rsyslog (Ubuntu) "rsyslog stops working after logrotate until restarted" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/940030
[16:21] <juliank> Interesting. We should check what the somewhat-blocked 8.32 does
[16:22] <slangasek> I call shenanigans on that bug, my rsyslog is working fine post-rotation
[16:22] <juliank> I don't have a /var/log/syslog
[16:22] <xnox> slangasek, hmmm.... why do we default to rsyslog, instead of syslog-ng with the journal plugin?
[16:22] <juliank> did we drop it?
[16:22] <slangasek> oh, but *not* /var/log/syslog
[16:22] <juliank> What no, I do
[16:22] <cyphermox> rsyslog and /var/log/syslog work well here.
[16:22] <slangasek> bdmurray: +1 for sorting this out, it should be a quick fix
[16:22] <xnox> slangasek, or why have rsyslog, if journald provides /var/log/syslog facility by itself too
[16:23] <slangasek> xnox: why not bikeshed?
[16:23] <juliank> If we could get rid of rsyslog in main
[16:23] <juliank> it would solve our problem with it depending on fastjson now :D
[16:23] <slangasek> xnox: you mean the syslog-ng that's been stuck in -proposed for a release cycle, right?
[16:23] <cyphermox> juliank: replacing it with something else with still requiring MIRing something
[16:23] <xnox> slangasek, heh
[16:23] <slangasek> anyway, taking 940030 for the stack; yes it wants follow-through
[16:23] <juliank> cyphermox: yeah, but hopefully not a second library, a fork of something we have
[16:24] <cyphermox> juliank: meh
[16:24] <cyphermox> slangasek: was there another bug?
[16:24] <slangasek> bdmurray: what else?
[16:24] <bdmurray> bug 1089195
[16:24] <ubottu> bug 1089195 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "linux-headers will eat your inodes on LTS." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1089195
[16:24] <xnox> ouch
[16:25] <juliank> I think there's a more general autoremoval thing for that
[16:25] <rbalint> imo we should take that, i'm working on update-manager to remove newly unused packages
[16:25] <slangasek> that sounds like a straight duplicate of the kernel autoremoval bug
[16:25] <cyphermox> +1
[16:25] <rbalint> slangasek: yes, mostly
[16:25] <juliank> It is precisely the bug rbalint is working on, yes
[16:26] <juliank> well headers instead of kernels, but that makes no difference
[16:26] <slangasek> not mostly, if the work on kernel autoremovals doesn't exactly fix this bug then the work on kernel autoremovals is incomplete
[16:26] <rbalint> it is almost the same, because the existing headers are not newly unused, but i would like to covert that, too, yes
[16:26] <juliank> I also have that stuff on my apt auto-auto-removal idea thing
[16:26] <slangasek> can someone who knows where the lead bug is for that work dupe this to it?
[16:27] <juliank> rbalint: that applies to the kernel images too
[16:27] <slangasek> juliank, rbalint: can one of you find the bug to dupe this to, and we'll move on?
[16:27] <rbalint> juliank: yes
[16:28] <slangasek> bdmurray: next?
[16:28] <bdmurray> bug 1746874

[16:28] <juliank> slangasek: done
[16:29] <bdmurray> "Xwayland and gnome-shell are co-dependent processes. If one crashes then the other will also crash. So we need apport to be capable of handling both crashes simultaneously.
[16:29] <rbalint> juliank: done by, me, too :-)
[16:29] <juliank> rbalint: lol
[16:29] <slangasek> bdmurray: huh
[16:30] <cyphermox> wow
[16:30] <bdmurray> because apport is already running it aborts
[16:30] <slangasek> bdmurray: that's an interesting symptom, yes let's follow up
[16:30] <slangasek> (claiming)
[16:31] <cyphermox> weird, I would have thought you'd just have a second apport running in that case
[16:31] <bdmurray> Its trying to stop the system from being dos'ed
[16:31] <slangasek> cyphermox: bug suggests that because core_use_pid isn't set, something (kernel or apport) treats them as identical
[16:31] <cyphermox> yeah
[16:31]  * juliank pretends its a kernel bug
[16:31] <slangasek> anyway, claimed
[16:31] <bdmurray> What no
[16:32] <bdmurray> ERROR: apport (pid 1946) Mon Feb 5 12:05:58 2018: another apport instance is already running, aborting
[16:32] <cyphermox> slangasek: yes
[16:32] <juliank> bdmurray: so it's an apport feature :D
[16:32] <cyphermox> well, I'm surprised at that, because you could conceivable have more than one process crash very close to each other.
[16:32] <juliank> it should queue them up I guess
[16:32] <slangasek> xnox: LP: #1739672 is still in 'incoming' and only marked triaged, is that fix-committed yet or not?
[16:32] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1739672 in systemd (Ubuntu) "Regression in getaddrinfo(): calls block for much longer on Bionic (compared to Xenial), please disable LLMNR" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1739672
[16:32] <bdmurray> "This avoids bringing down the system to its knees if there is a series of crashes"
[16:32] <cyphermox> and all that it's doing is the pipe thing to start apport
[16:32] <juliank> but you probably do want some crash dropping?
[16:33] <bdmurray> So it was deliberate choice by that guy
[16:33] <slangasek> man, that guy
[16:33] <cyphermox> heh
[16:33] <xnox> slangasek, i have been pinged to fix that in person at fosdem too. I have removed the tag, does that make it off the list?
[16:34]  * juliank blames the guy they shot up into space in a tesla
[16:34] <slangasek> xnox: are you telling me it's NOT fix committed yet?
[16:34] <bdmurray> maybe just disabling that check on devel releases is good enough
[16:34] <xnox> slangasek, there are autopkgtests failures in systemd that i'm fixing it.
[16:35] <xnox> slangasek, (umockdev + udisks mis-compat with udev)
[16:35] <slangasek> xnox: that doesn't actually answer my question
[16:35] <xnox> slangasek, it is not fix committed, as in, it is not in bionic-proposed.
[16:35] <slangasek> xnox: if it's committed to the package vcs, it's fix-committed
[16:35] <slangasek> and we should mark it as such so you can take it off my nag list ;)
[16:35] <cyphermox> bdmurray: I wonder if queueing the crashes would be so bad
[16:37] <slangasek> bdmurray: anything else on bugs?
[16:37] <bdmurray> slangasek: Not from me
