eoli3nHi08:45
eoli3ni have a strange behaviour, i use ldap auth and logins are mail adresses (i know that it is not great, not my decision)08:46
eoli3nwhen i try to log with for exemple username.lastnamelastnamelastname@domain.fr on tty08:47
eoli3nit doesn't ask for password08:47
eoli3ni can't find the rule08:47
eoli3nif you remove the dot08:47
eoli3nusernamelastnamelastnamelastname@domain.fr, it asks for password08:47
seb128RikMills, hey! we have a poppler transition started, any chance you could look at what calligra and kitinerary (and maybe scribus?) need to build with it? (simple rebuild failed)08:48
RikMillsseb128: already looking :)08:48
eoli3nany idea what's limit that ?08:48
seb128RikMills, great, thanks!08:48
RikMillsnp08:49
eoli3njust try to enter that exact username on tty "username.lastnamelastnamelastname@domain.fr"08:50
eoli3nand you will see that something resets08:51

andrewsh[m]hi12:01
andrewsh[m]dear Ubuntu developers, why is the kernel image in Ubuntu readable by root only?12:02
andrewsh[m]and what would be the best way to package a tool run by a non-root that needs to read the kernel image?12:02
andrewsh[m]I mean, package for Debian but in an Ubuntu-compatible way12:02
juliankandrewsh[m]: security?12:19
juliankandrewsh[m]: My understanding is that you can extract the kernel memory layout from the image and use that for attacks12:19
juliankandrewsh[m]: hence you need to write a helper and use policykit to limit access to admins12:19
andrewsh[m]has anyone done anything like this in the past?12:20
andrewsh[m]anything I can look at as an example?12:20
juliankprobably not12:21
juliankarighi: so I went crazy and picked the -17 kernel from the PPA and will stress test i915 on there now12:21
cjwatsonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features/Historical#kptr-restrict12:22
juliankbecause -16 did not help at all, probably due to the off-by-one12:22
cjwatsonandrewsh[m]: ^- at some point I remember having a better reference for that, but there's that at least12:22
juliank3 mins into test, stuff is stable12:25
juliankI'm having one window run Netflix in Chrome and one window run glxgears12:26
juliankstill leaves me enough space for more windows :)12:26
juliank1280x1440 is plenty...12:27
juliankcjwatson: has it been considered to make merge proposals for git redirect to the git branch when you use git, so you can just git fetch the merge proposal url?12:28
andrewsh[m]I'm asking for a friend^W fakemachine+debos12:28
cjwatsonjuliank: We've considered various things like that and will hopefully make some improvements next cycle12:28
andrewsh[m]it needs a kernel to create a virtual machine to run debootstrap and other things in12:28
cjwatson(We'd hoped to this cycle, but ran out of time a bit)12:28
juliankack12:31
juliankkernel -17 is stable so far, 30 mins in12:55
tjaaltonjuliank: good to hear12:57
dokomitya57: what's your plan with sphinx 2.x? split out a source package to still build sphinx 1.x for Python2 in focal?13:25
seb128xnox, hey, how easy for you is it to kick a refresh to the auto-transitions list? would be nice to have gnome-desktop3 and poppler on there13:29
arighijuliank, thanks! I'm also testing -17 on my test laptop, so far so good13:35
mwhudsonsmoser: are you going to upload ssh-import-id ?13:56
smosermwhudson: i can do that.14:11
smoserit felt like i should do a full new release.14:11
smosersince the version in pypi is not functional with 3.814:11
mwhudsonsmoser: i'm being parochial and only caring about focal but that makes sense14:12
smosermwhudson: yeha. i'll do that all now.14:16
mwhudsonsmoser: thanks!14:16
smoseruploadign to focal is easy/known/automated14:16
smoserbut the "new release" stuff is more a pita14:16
rbasakkanashiro: may I have some help merging ruby-dataobjects-mysql please? I don't see where the upstream VCS for that is - both the Homepage d/control field and the upstream https://rubygems.org/gems/data_objects (I think?) point to https://github.com/datamapper/do which appears dead.14:25
rbasakSo not sure how it would sit with feature freeze.14:25
rbasakThis can wait until after the ruby transition I think.14:29
kanashirorbasak, I think it is better to do it after the ruby transition, but yes, upstream seems inactive14:48
kanashirorbasak, is this delta something that we can push to Debian? is it work with the current version of mysql in Debian?14:50
seb128doko, hey, inkscape hits a gcc ICE on ppc64el https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/0.92.4-5ubuntu3 is that something you could a look at? we need to rebuild inkscape for the poppler (and gnome-desktop3) transitions15:03
rbasakkanashiro: yes it's fairly small - just fixes to work against latest MySQL15:04
rbasakIt's not yet appropriate for Debian since Debian doesn't have MySQL 8 yet - that's a separate yet-to-be-completed effort15:05
rbasak(for Debian to maintain a separate patch just for that)15:05
rbasakBut appropriate for upstream - all that work is still outstanding15:05
kanashirorbasak, so let's keep the delta then15:09
kanashiroand I can do the merge when the time comes15:10
rbasakThanks!15:13
dokoseb128: looking, but maybe not today anymore15:21
seb128doko, no hurry, those transitions need a libreoffice upload, that's not going to build/go through in a day15:21
seb128doko, I tried to build with O2 in a ppa but my debian/rules foo failed15:21
smosermwhudson: why can't anything ever be easy.15:39
smoserhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ssh-import-id/+bug/186517115:39
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1865171 in ssh-import-id "local variable 'distro' referenced before assignment" [Critical,Confirmed]15:39
mwhudsonsmoser: computers were a mistake16:03
seb128doko, in fact buildign with O2 worked, I will do that for now16:29
smosermwhudson: agreed.16:41
smoserhey. i just uploaded.16:41
smoserhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wBbnXsS5ng/16:41
smoserbut i dont see it anywhere in queue16:43
smoserbah. how do i tell it to do the full upload. if orget.16:44
smoserok. fixed. -sa16:58
mwhudsonsmoser: thanks17:14
mitya57doko: For focal it's the best to stick to sphinx 1.8.5.18:51
mitya57Every major sphinx release breaks many packages, here we have three major releases (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) and I didn't have time to test rebuild reverse dependencies yet.18:52
mitya57For Debian the number of packages using Python 2 sphinx is decreasing, and having a separate source package for it causes some problems, so I don't want to do that.18:55
mitya57See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944913#49 — and some of these are already fixed.18:57
ubottuDebian bug 944913 in python3-sphinx "python3-sphinx: Please update to Sphinx 2.2.1" [Wishlist,Fixed]18:57
dokomitya57: yep, asking because numpy 1.8 requires it, and I'd like to update that one ..19:08
mitya57Maybe disabling docs is the easiest you can do.19:11
CarlFKamurray: kinda ot, if someone can tell me where to open an issue: https://launchpad.net/dhcp  "Home Page" http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/dhcp/  404  -  https://www.isc.org/dhcp/ is good.23:15
sarnoldCarlFK: probably the email address on https://launchpad.net/~registry which appears to own https://launchpad.net/dhcp23:22
