| [00:00] <cjwatson> Caesar: it only does it if network-manager is going to be installed | |
| [00:00] <cjwatson> so the way to opt out is to arrange for network-manager not to be installed | |
| [00:00] <megabyte405> tedg: thanks for your help - I'm out for the night. email if you need something, mention abiword in the subject | |
| [00:01] <megabyte405> (just in case my spam filter gets eager) | |
| [00:01] <Caesar> cjwatson: installing ubuntu-desktop makes that kinda hard | |
| [00:01] <tedg> megabyte405: Cool, NP. Have a good night. | |
| [00:01] * tedg types too slow. | |
| [00:02] <ScottK> cjwatson: Do you have a moment for a quick backports discussion. jdong pointed me at you. | |
| [00:02] <jdong> haha keep the blame trail alive :D | |
| [00:03] <ScottK> Of course | |
| [00:05] <cjwatson> Caesar: ok, netcfg 1.40ubuntu5 allows you to preseed netcfg/network-manager to false | |
| [00:06] <cjwatson> ScottK: sure | |
| [00:07] <Caesar> cjwatson: You rock | |
| [00:08] <ScottK> cjwatson: clamav is releasing 0.93 with a soname bump a week before we release. There's no way to reasonably stuff that into Hardy, so what I was hoping to do was to get hardy-backports ready early and have it (with rebuild rdepends) in hardy-backports at or nearly at release. | |
| [00:08] <ScottK> cjwatson: This would require us to loosen the must be in the development release before backport rule for a few weeks until Intrepid's tool chain is up. | |
| [00:08] <ScottK> Any problem with that? | |
| [00:09] <cjwatson> ScottK: any core-dev can upload to -backports directly, so technically it's feasible | |
| [00:09] <cjwatson> ScottK: I suggest uploading it to a PPA first so that at least it's been tested somewhere else | |
| [00:09] <ScottK> That's what I'd start with (PPA). | |
| [00:09] <cjwatson> but otherwise I'm OK with it | |
| [00:09] <ScottK> OK. | |
| [00:09] <cjwatson> hardy-backports should work already | |
| [00:09] <ScottK> Cool. | |
| [00:10] <ScottK> jdong: ^^^ we're in business. | |
| [00:10] <ScottK> cjwatson: Thanks. | |
| [00:16] <Dossy> Do Ubuntu's kernels include the ext2online patch? | |
| [00:19] <jdong> ScottK, cjwatson thanks! | |
| [00:23] * lamont has a stupid nautilus et al question... any good victims around? | |
| [00:25] <lamont> specifically, when the user nfs mounts /mnt/foo-media, one machine populates that into the desktop and the places view of "the gnome explorer" (nautilus, I expect). | |
| [00:25] <lamont> on the other machine, on gutsy and on flatline-installed hardy, it doesn't. | |
| [00:26] <lamont> how comez is that? | |
| [00:27] <seb128> lamont: are you sure the machine which displays it use mnt? | |
| [00:27] <seb128> lamont: nautilus shows media mounts and not mnt ones | |
| [00:27] <lamont> I expect so. it's an old unix geek | |
| [00:27] <lamont> although it could be that simple, I suppse | |
| [00:29] <Caesar> How do the Contents-${ARCH} files get generated? I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel here... | |
| [00:29] <lamont> apt-ftparchive contents is what you're looking for | |
| [00:29] <tedg> Ahh, I didn't realize that the subpackages of boost were in universe... bummer. | |
| [00:29] <tedg> I guess no Abicollab :( | |
| [00:30] <Caesar> lamont: thanks | |
| [00:31] <up_the_irons> guys, is there a channel for package building support? (trying to backport a package, which I've done a lot, but this particular package is bothersome) | |
| [00:34] <jdong> up_the_irons: #ubuntu-motu please | |
| [00:34] <up_the_irons> jdong: thanks | |
| [00:38] <LaserJock> tedg: boost is a new dep? | |
| === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu | |
| [00:49] <LaserJock> dang it, I forgot the password to the printer | |
| [00:53] <tedg> LaserJock: Well, asio is needed for Abicollab. | |
| [00:54] <tedg> And asio has boost as a dep. | |
| [00:54] <LaserJock> ah | |
| [00:56] <LaserJock> that'd be kind of a big MIR | |
| [00:56] <slangasek> tedg: which part of boost? boost source is already in main | |
| [00:57] <LaserJock> oh, right, I thought it said Universe | |
| [00:57] <tedg> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportAsio | |
| [00:57] <tedg> Is there instructions on how I make the bug in LP? (like who to subscribe, etc.) | |
| [00:57] <slangasek> ubuntu-mir (there are instructions somewhere, but I don't have the url to hand) | |
| [00:58] <slangasek> ah, libboost-regex, my favorite | |
| [00:58] <tedg> Okay, I can't seem to find it after 10-15 minutes of searching... | |
| [00:58] <tedg> But is on Hardy? | |
| [00:58] <tedg> bug. | |
| [00:58] <tedg> Or on asio? | |
| [00:59] <slangasek> on asio | |
| [01:02] <tedg> I'm not optimistic on this one going through, but here it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/asio/+bug/213688 | |

| [02:21] <mophead> Is there a usability development project? | |
| [02:24] <calc> new OOo in about 1hr | |
| [02:24] <calc> openoffice.org_2.4.0-3ubuntu2_amd64.build | |
| [02:26] <lamont> heh. update-manager gets really pissy if you have an apt/preferences that pins a=hardy at pri 50. :-( | |
| [02:30] * lamont mutters something about how it'd be nice to get the current git-core into hardy, while realizing that there isn't a checkbox on the feature freeze exception paperwork labeled "nice" | |
| [02:36] <jdong> lamont: haha you could use the old "it's got a test suite" argument | |
| [02:37] <lamont> jdong: well, it confused me for a minute when it bombed out on my laptop.... | |
| [02:37] <jdong> lamont: but I'm sorry to say I used that one with bzr 1.3 and it did introduce a minor regression so ~release could be gun-shy :D | |
| [02:37] <lamont> then I figured out _why_ lzma was not scheduled for install... | |
| [02:37] <lamont> oh, git-core. | |
| [02:37] <lamont> yeah | |
| [02:37] <lamont> OTOH, 1.5.4.5-1~CAT.6.06 will land on zinc sometime this week, I expect. | |
| [03:32] <slangasek> Amaranth: do you have any comments on james_w's patch for bug #118936? | |
| [03:32] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 118936 in alacarte "Alacarte does not recover deleted menu items" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/118936 | |
| [04:29] <RAOF> Something seems to be sending pulseaudio SIGXCPU, which then makes pulse spin madly, consuming a CPU core for a couple of seconds before being killed. (1) What's sending pulse SIGXCPU, and (2) How can I debug the spin/kill that happens once it's sent - I can't reproduce the behaviour under gdm. | |
| [04:40] <TheMuso> RAOF: Have you checked messages/syslog, and what pulse clients are you using? | |
| [04:41] <RAOF> TheMuso: I've got a single pulse client; banshee (trunk) -> gstreamer-pulse. Neither syslog nor messages contain anything apropos. | |
| [04:44] <RAOF> Oh, and load averages are <= 0.5 for the last 15 min. | |
| [04:47] <TheMuso> Hrm. | |
| [04:47] <TheMuso> RAOF: Tried other clients? | |
| [04:47] <RAOF> No; that'll be the next step (after lunch). | |
| [04:47] <TheMuso> RAOF: Ok. | |
| [04:47] <RAOF> The step after _that_ will be trying on !rt kernel. | |
| [05:01] <StevenK> What's SIGXCPU? | |
| [05:01] <StevenK> I don't even recognise that signal | |
| [05:02] <lifeless> XCPU core core dump may fail | |
| [05:02] <lifeless> and more usefully | |
| [05:02] <lifeless> SIGXCPU 24,24,30 Core CPU time limit exceeded (4.2BSD) | |
| [05:02] <lifeless> man 7 signal is your friend | |
| [05:02] <lifeless> RAOF: ^ | |
| [05:03] <lifeless> RAOF: the CPU time being used is probably in the aport core handler | |
| [05:03] <lifeless> RAOF: which will be why you can't reproduce under gdm | |
| [05:04] <StevenK> Whoa. "CPU time limit exceeded" | |
| [05:05] <TheMuso> That sounds a little like something the rt kernel could cause. | |
| [05:07] <slangasek> could it? traditionally that means you're using ulimit | |
| [05:08] <TheMuso> I'm guessing here. | |
| [05:11] <lamont> StevenK: as long as that wasn't irssi or such... :-) | |
| [05:11] <lamont> slangasek: maybe we should put a 6 hour ulimit on buildds? | |
| [05:11] <lamont> er, builds, even | |
| [05:36] <slangasek> lamont: <yuck> | |
| [05:36] <ion_> The volume 'CDROM' uses the iso9660 file system which is not supported by your system. | |
| [05:36] <ion_> Ooookay. :-) | |
| [05:37] <lamont> heh | |
| [05:37] * lamont is sad that he has no consolekit sessions when he logsin | |
| [05:41] <RAOF> lifeless: Oh, thanks. It remains odd. | |
| [05:41] <lifeless> indeed :P | |
| [05:42] <RAOF> Let's see if rhythmbox triggers SIGXCPU. | |
| [05:43] <RAOF> It seems particularly odd since pulse consistently takes up <= 1% of my fully-scaled-down CPU cores. | |
| [05:44] <lifeless> smells odd yes | |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | |
| [06:12] <RAOF> OK. For those playing at home, it seems that Rhythmbox does _not_ trigger SIGXCPU. | |
| [06:18] <jdong> any core-devs want to sponsor an extremely trivial debdiff? | |
| [06:19] <jdong> wait, where did it go.... | |
| [06:19] <LaserJock> a Heisendiff? :-) | |
| [06:19] <slangasek> it was so trivial it dissolved back into the quantum foam | |
| [06:20] <jdong> actually I might just hold off | |
| [06:20] <ion_> Haha | |
| [06:21] <jdong> I was gonnna just add an empty dpatch patchsys to Transmission | |
| [06:21] <jdong> but I might as well wait for the patches to come in over this week | |
| [06:23] <jdong> unless there's some evil freeze that's coming up soon that I'm unaware of that won't let me put in a patchsys | |
| [06:23] <LaserJock> the 10th is a freeze | |
| [06:23] <LaserJock> but I doubt it's gonna make a difference | |
| [06:23] <jdong> LaserJock: does it make a difference between bugfix patches and adding a patchsys? | |
| [06:23] <StevenK> I thought the 10th was the freeze. As in, Hardy freezes and doesn't thaw | |
| [06:24] <Chipzz> jdong: won't you be unnecesarily diverting fmor debian then? | |
| [06:24] <LaserJock> StevenK: as in every upload has to be approved by a RM | |
| [06:24] <RAOF> It starts of a bit mushy first :) | |
| [06:24] <jdong> Chipzz: I'm not sure if it's necessarily unnecessarily | |
| [06:24] <StevenK> Ah, snow and then ice? :-P | |
| [06:24] <jdong> Chipzz: I need to backport 8 or so important bugfixes from transmission SVN with cooperation with upstream devs | |
| [06:24] <LaserJock> jdong: there's no patch system already in place? | |
| [06:25] <jdong> LaserJock: surprisingly not | |
| [06:25] <jdong> Chipzz: I'd rather not introduce a brand new release cycle of transmission this close to release | |
| [06:25] <Chipzz> jdong: well, you aren't changing the build system, only adding to it I guess | |
| [06:25] <LaserJock> jdong: if you want to stick close to upstream you can just not use a patch system | |
| [06:25] <jdong> Chipzz: particularly one that quirked on me, refusing to close when it's a tray icon and similar misbehavior | |
| [06:25] <jdong> LaserJock: that kinda sounds messy | |
| [06:26] <LaserJock> but with 8 patches it might be less hassle in the long run to just add dpatch | |
| [06:26] <Chipzz> jdong: I'm not arguing about the use of the patches btw :) | |
| [06:26] <jdong> LaserJock: yeah I figure it might become a nightmare to manage in case one of those patches turns out to be incorrect , etc | |
| [06:26] <Chipzz> but I think it's a guideline to try not to diverge from debian as much as possible? | |
| [06:26] <LaserJock> jdong: it can be sure | |
| [06:26] <jdong> Chipzz: agreed, but this divergence couldn't hurt | |
| [06:26] <jdong> Chipzz: Debian's already past us on transmission and they couldn't care much about what we're doing to Hardy's transmission | |
| [06:27] <Chipzz> jdong: wouldn't the appropriate course of action be asking the debian maintainer what he thinks about it? (not sure if you done that) | |
| [06:27] <jdong> Chipzz: well at this point I don't see how even if Debian adds a patchsys it'd help us | |
| [06:27] <jdong> Chipzz: Debian's on 1.11-1, we're on 1.06-0ubuntu4 | |
| [06:28] <Chipzz> easier to merge back later? | |
| [06:28] <jdong> though of course in the long run a patchsys is going to be helpful | |
| [06:28] <Chipzz> well | |
| [06:28] <jdong> right now I'm more concerned about getting these changes into Hardy before freeze | |
| [06:28] <Chipzz> I'm not arguing against the patch system per se ;) | |
| [06:28] <jdong> transmission's in between a rock and a hard spot right now | |
| [06:28] <LaserJock> jdong: if you think you're gonna ever have to do an SRU or security update it can be nice | |
| [06:29] * StevenK tries to figure what is dragging in pidgin-data | |
| [06:29] <jdong> a torrent client, probably feasible we'll find something wrong in 3 years | |
| [06:29] <StevenK> apt-cache rdepends doesn't help | |
| [06:29] <Chipzz> jdong: well, if the debian maintainer applies the same patch system as you do, it will be easier to merge back later | |
| [06:29] <Chipzz> as there will be only entirely new files instead of changes to files | |
| [06:29] <jdong> Chipzz: agreed | |
| [06:30] <jdong> Chipzz: I will talk to the Debian folks at the same time | |
| [06:30] <LaserJock> Chipzz: that's why he said that Debian has already passed us. It's unlikely they will go back and patch a previous version | |
| [06:30] <jdong> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13197466/transmission.debdiff in case anyone feels particularly bored | |
| [06:30] <LaserJock> so if it's specifically for the Hardy version then Debian's not gonna care | |
| [06:30] <jdong> I believe this is the 2nd time I've added dpatch so a bit of reviewing where I hooked it in would be appreciated too :D | |
| [06:31] <jdong> grumble debdiffs don't represent empty files, do they? | |
| [06:31] <Chipzz> LaserJock: well yes. but what I meant is, if debian adapts the same patchsys, it will be easier to merge back post-hardy | |
| [06:31] * jdong mutters a bit under his breath | |
| [06:31] <LaserJock> Chipzz: oh right, yeah | |
| [06:31] <RAOF> jdong: From memory you want to have a patch-stamp target, right? | |
| [06:31] <jdong> RAOF: the dpatch.make include handles that | |
| [06:31] <Chipzz> LaserJock: or if a sec bug is found, and debian has a patch, it would be easier to do a security update | |
| [06:31] <jdong> (I think :D) | |
| [06:32] <jdong> RAOF: from what I understand I just need to get the patch and unpatch rules in the right place with dpatch.make | |
| [06:32] <RAOF> jdong: Eh, probably. Anyway, it's being called from a -stamp target itself, so should get called exactly once anyway. | |
| [06:33] <RAOF> This line brings back memories of great frustration: # touch config.status to prevent execution of autoconf | |
| [06:33] <jdong> :) | |
| [06:33] <dholbach> good morning | |
| [06:34] <LaserJock> morning dholbach | |
| [06:34] <jdong> oh it's that late already? | |
| [06:34] <StevenK> Heh | |
| [06:34] <LaserJock> jdong: that's exactly what I was thinking | |
| [06:34] <dholbach> hey LaserJock | |
| [06:34] <dholbach> hehe | |
| [06:34] <dholbach> 7:34 here :) | |
| [06:34] <dholbach> if that helps you making a decision :) | |
| [06:34] <StevenK> There's a 7:30 in the morning? | |
| [06:35] <LaserJock> I think that's what he's claiming | |
| [06:35] <StevenK> I don't believe it. | |
| [06:35] <StevenK> If mornings really exist, why are there only 12 hours on a clock. | |
| [06:35] <LaserJock> so true | |
| [06:37] <jdong> StevenK: I've heard, in some places, there are 24 hours. | |
| [06:37] <jdong> StevenK: but I've also heard that some places use unified base-10 measurement systems | |
| [06:37] <RAOF> jdong: Those crazy Europeans. All sorts of decadent leftist improprietary. | |
| [06:38] <ion_> But at least OOXML is a standard everywhere. | |
| [06:38] <LaserJock> jdong: that's just cheating | |
| [06:39] <jdong> LaserJock: I know. For them they don't get cool math questions like how many ounces are in a ton... | |
| [06:39] <RAOF> LaserJock: How does that even work for you. I mean, you're a scientist, and so presumably use the _sane_ measurement system in your work. Does it cause cognitive dissonance? | |
| [06:40] <LaserJock> RAOF: no, it's even worse | |
| [06:40] <LaserJock> I use a mix of metric and imperial | |
| [06:40] <RAOF> LaserJock: What. You _don't_ use the sane measurement system?! | |
| [06:40] <LaserJock> for instance my laser table is tapped on a 1" distance | |
| [06:40] <LaserJock> my optics are usually 1" | |
| [06:40] <StevenK> LaserJock: Your whole country uses a mix of metric and imperial | |
| [06:41] <RAOF> >.< | |
| [06:41] <LaserJock> but I also use mm,cm, and m | |
| [06:41] <RAOF> Man. Imagine how much of a technological powerhouse the US could be if it _ | |
| [06:41] <LaserJock> I have a table for converting between approximately 6-8 different units of energy | |
| [06:41] <RAOF> didn't_ use a broken measurement system.e | |
| [06:41] <LaserJock> well, we got it from the English, what can I say | |
| [06:42] <StevenK> I'm waiting for the US to realise their money system is metric, and switch it to imperial. | |
| [06:42] <RAOF> LaserJock: Except that you use a different measurement system to the English, right? | |
| [06:42] <LaserJock> RAOF: no, we have a lot that's the same | |
| [06:42] <RAOF> I mean, a US imperial gallon isn't the same as an English imperial gallon, or some such stupidity? | |
| [06:42] <LaserJock> some things are different some are the same | |
| [06:43] <StevenK> RAOF: See: "ton" and "tonne" | |
| [06:43] <slangasek> StevenK: that would, of course, be inconsistent with the rationale for not having switched to metric in the first place | |
| [06:43] <LaserJock> our ton is different than a tonne | |
| [06:43] <slangasek> RAOF: actually, a US "imperial gallon" is the same as an English imperial gallon; but a US gallon is not | |
| [06:43] <LaserJock> I don't think American's care so much what system they use as they are afraid of changing it | |
| [06:43] <TheMuso> RAOF: So it sounds like something banshee is doing. | |
| [06:43] <StevenK> slangasek: Why did the US not switch over? | |
| [06:43] <LaserJock> I still can't get used to C | |
| [06:43] <RAOF> TheMuso: Except that banshee isn't doing it now, either >.< | |
| [06:44] <slangasek> StevenK: inertia | |
| [06:44] <TheMuso> RAOF: even more weird. Still the RT kernel? | |
| [06:44] <RAOF> TheMuso: Yup. | |
| [06:44] <StevenK> The British resisted metric currency for years as being "too complicated" | |
| [06:44] <RAOF> TheMuso: I haven't rebooted. I just came back from lunch, and everything works. | |
| [06:44] <LaserJock> StevenK: we'd just say "too expensive" | |
| [06:45] <RAOF> slangasek: Aah. That makes it so clear! | |
| [06:45] <StevenK> No, I think your country has 100 million people who can't tell that miles and kilometres are both units of meaursement | |
| [06:46] <slangasek> RAOF: the gallon used in the US is .8 of an imperial gallon | |
| [06:46] <LaserJock> well, in 30 years we'll all speak spanish and then we'll convert ;-) | |
| [06:46] <slangasek> LaserJock: por qué esperar? | |
| [06:46] <RAOF> slangasek: Is that _exactly_ .8 of a gallon, or something more traditional, like .79341 of an imperial gallon? :P | |
| [06:47] <slangasek> RAOF: well, entertainingly, units tells me it's 0.83267418 | |
| [06:47] <slangasek> I had been led to believe it was exact | |
| [06:47] <StevenK> slangasek: You need to start doing freeze annoucements in 3 languages | |
| [06:47] <LaserJock> slangasek: because | |
| [06:48] <slangasek> StevenK: I thought about a Spanish poem for the opening announcement for hardy heron, but all the good poems are about swans, not herons | |
| [06:48] <LaserJock> well, I'm not moving to all metric until time is metric :-) | |
| [06:48] <StevenK> Haha | |
| [06:49] <TheMuso> lol | |
| [06:49] <LaserJock> you can't be all "metric is so wonderful" if you still have base-60 time units | |
| [06:49] <LaserJock> I'm sorry | |
| [06:49] <StevenK> I note milliseconds aren't base-60 | |
| [06:49] <StevenK> slangasek: I doubt you'll find any Spanish poems about ibexes, either. | |
| [06:49] <RAOF> I don't know about where you are, but here in .au we've had decimal time since the 60's :) | |
| [06:50] <StevenK> And decimal currency since what, '66? | |
| [06:50] <LaserJock> StevenK: yeah, it's funny. Once you are to seconds it becomes metric. | |
| [06:50] <RAOF> Something like that. | |
| [06:50] <StevenK> I do recall the offical changeover date was Valentine's Day | |
| [06:50] <slangasek> StevenK: '66 what? petaseconds? | |
| [06:50] <StevenK> slangasek: '66 being 1966 | |
| [06:51] <LaserJock> anyway, as a scientist I end up learning a variety of unit systems and converting to whatever the "norm" is | |
| [06:51] <LaserJock> it even varies between specialties within a field of chemistry | |
| [06:51] <StevenK> Or inventing your own | |
| [06:51] <LaserJock> I try to avoid taht | |
| [06:51] <LaserJock> reviewers aren't as impressed | |
| [06:52] <StevenK> What, especially if you name them all Mantha? | |
| [06:52] <LaserJock> "The rotational energy give to the molecule was 10^6 Manthas" | |
| [06:53] <slangasek> not "manthae"? | |
| [06:53] <LaserJock> ewwww | |
| [06:53] <LaserJock> you can't do that | |
| [06:53] <LaserJock> I'll have to also define the plural form | |
| [06:53] <slangasek> I can't? | |
| [06:53] <LaserJock> no, my unit my gramatical rules | |
| [06:53] <StevenK> Heh | |

| [06:54] <LaserJock> I think I should be an energy unit | |
| [06:54] <StevenK> "The plural form shall be Manthas, except on days defined below, in which case it's Manthae." | |
| [06:55] * RAOF needs to play Mao with a sufficiently large group. | |
| [06:55] <LaserJock> "On the internationally recognized Mantha day the unit shall be called 'Jordans'" | |
| [06:55] <LaserJock> yeah, this is sounding good | |
| [06:56] <LaserJock> I need to contact IUPAC about this | |
| [06:56] <StevenK> And then LaserJock woke up. | |
| [06:56] <LaserJock> crap, still using kilojoules | |
| [06:56] <LaserJock> how come Joule get's his own unit? what'd he ever do that was so special? | |
| [06:57] <StevenK> "Intel would like to announce the general public availability of the Linux Connection Manager project (codename: ConnMan)." | |

| [07:00] <LaserJock> I was gonna go with something called "Grifter" but I like SerialKiller better | |
| [07:00] <RAOF> And a select group af backpackers :P | |
| [07:00] <StevenK> RAOF: Well, yes. | |
| [07:00] * RAOF is the _king_ of poor-taste. | |
| [07:00] <StevenK> Er, yes. That was worse than my joke. :-) | |
| [07:01] <StevenK> Nooooo, it requires resolvconf | |
| [07:01] * StevenK spits | |
| [07:22] <seria-mau> i noticed that network mounts in fstab which become available are automatically mounted. how is unmounting in case a network link becomes unavailable supposed to work? nfs has some difficulties with that, afaik. | |
| [07:25] <slangasek> seria-mau: as a "lazy" unmount; processes that still reference the filesystem that's gone away will have issues, but there's really no graceful way to handle that | |
| [08:03] <ion_> opera | 9.27-20080331.6fesity1 | http://archive.canonical.com feisty-commercial/main Packages | |
| [08:03] <ion_> Utunbu has Orepa in fesity. :-) | |
| [08:52] <lool> slangasek: w00t; we have a component mismatch issue with lrm-2.6.24-15 on lpia; it's in multiverse while linux-lpia and linux-restricted-modules-lpia pull it | |
| [08:52] <lool> slangasek: Could you please promote it to restricted? | |
| [08:53] <slangasek> lool: hrm, I just saw that myself and demoted those packages to multiverse; all of the lpia kernel packages have been in universe/multiverse up until now, is that intended to change? | |
| [08:53] <slangasek> (I assumed that the linux-meta packages being in restricted/main was a mistake, but ICBW) | |
| [08:54] <StevenK> Personally, I think -lpia should be in main/restricted, and -lpiacompat in universe/multiverse. | |
| [08:54] <StevenK> But that's me | |
| [08:54] <lool> slangasek: Ok; we (at least I) usually don't include multiverse in many of our configs such as pbuilder, virtual machines, moblin-image-creator runs, so I personally see that it will cause me some work to fix this, but I understand why it should go to multiverse | |
| [08:54] <lool> StevenK: What would be the rationale? | |
| [08:55] <slangasek> lool: well, it would be inconsistent to have the lrm packages in restricted but the other packages all in universe, which is where they've been up until now | |
| [08:55] <StevenK> lool: "Gut feeling" :-) | |
| [08:55] <lool> slangasek: However, all of this is in lpia which is a non-official arch, so I wonder whether it makes sense to repeat the fact that it's not supported by moving things to multiverse while we could keep them in restricted and decide to promote the arch to supported with less efforts | |
| [08:56] <lool> slangasek: Not sure we should judge on history, it might well be a long time error | |
| [08:56] <slangasek> lool: hey, I just put the packages in the component pitti tells me to :) | |
| [08:56] <slangasek> (or doko) | |
| [08:56] <StevenK> Ahhh, so pitti is the man behind the curtain! | |
| [08:57] <lool> I personally lived without multiverse most of the time until now, and I'm happy that it's not "reachable" from my apt-get installs | |
| [08:57] <StevenK> ln -s lool rms | |
| [08:57] <slangasek> dude harsh | |
| [08:57] <StevenK> Haha | |
| [08:58] <lool> Not until I wear a beard | |
| [08:58] * dholbach hugs lool | |
| [08:58] <lool> slangasek: Ok, next question; are the *.txt files on people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive including lpia mismatches and there is no mismatch ATM or are they not including this unofficial arch? | |
| [08:58] <jamesh> dholbach: it's good to see that the AbiWord situation is resolving itself | |
| [08:59] <slangasek> lool: you're referring to http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt, or another report? | |
| [08:59] <lool> slangasek: This is the one which would have saved me some time today, yes | |
| [09:00] <lool> slangasek: But it's more of a general question, there are other reports which would be interesting for lpia too | |
| [09:00] <dholbach> jamesh: yeah, I'm very happy too to see it being worked on | |
| [09:00] <slangasek> I don't know, I'm not familiar with how that particular report is generated; but I suspect it's only for i386/amd64 at present | |
| [09:00] <lool> Hmm where's the installability report | |
| [09:00] <slangasek> lool: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing-ports/hardy_probs.html ? | |
| [09:01] <slangasek> but then, that gives you ports but not universe :) | |
| [09:01] <lool> slangasek: See how evil it is to need *verse! ;) | |
| [09:02] <lool> slangasek: Ok; so you say you fixed the linux-meta tree in this report for lpia? | |
| [09:02] <lool> I guess I'll only see this in a couple of hours | |
| [09:03] <slangasek> I hadn't seen/done lbm yet | |
| [09:03] <lool> slangasek: Thanks for your time; I'd be happy if you could file a TODO whereever that is about including lpia installability and component mismatches reports | |
| [09:03] <slangasek> but linux-image* and lrm should now be consistently in the same component | |
| === dexem_ is now known as dexem | |
| [09:04] <lool> slangasek: But what about linux-lpia? | |
| [09:04] <slangasek> lool: if you can open a bug and subscribe ubuntu-archive to it, that's probably best, given that I don't know where that report happens today | |
| [09:04] <slangasek> yes, linux-lpia as well | |
| [09:04] <lool> Ok, thanks | |
| [09:05] <lool> slangasek: I believe there is a wiki page or a text file /somewhere/, but I'll file a bug | |
| [09:06] <slangasek> heh, I can't fix linux-backports-modules-hardy without demoting it on all archs... I think we should plan to promote the lpia linux packages to main/restricted at some point... | |
| [09:07] <lool> slangasek: Who should we discuss that with? | |
| [09:07] <amitk> so naive question - this means the Section line in the control file is just a _request_, not a commandment, right? | |
| [09:07] <lool> amitk: Yes | |
| [09:07] <lool> amitk: Archive has the final override | |
| [09:07] <lool> amitk: Especially in the case of Ubuntu where we inherit Section from Debian for many packages, but need to change it | |
| [09:07] <slangasek> lool: pitti or doko, I think | |
| [09:08] <lool> slangasek: Email or bug report? | |
| [09:08] <slangasek> lool: I don't know, and it's too late here for me to have an opinion | |
| [09:08] <lool> slangasek: Ok; sorry for keeping you on the computer so late; sleep well | |
| [09:09] <StevenK> amitk: Same with the Priority, but they should match. | |

| [09:42] <seb128> Riddell: so are trivial changes and we have been asked to make possible to uninstall launchpad-integration in hardy if possible I understood correctly | |
| [09:43] <seb128> Riddell: the soname change was not really required, it just make easier to keep track of what needs to be updated | |

| [10:06] <kelemengabor> hi all | |
| [10:07] <kelemengabor> cjwatson: there is a problem with the debian-installer translation | |
| === hunger_t is now known as hunger | |
| [10:07] <kelemengabor> the new template was just uploaded today | |
| [10:07] <kelemengabor> and has lots of new strings to translate | |
| [10:08] <kelemengabor> but the deadline is two days from now, and I don't think the imports will be finished to that date | |
| [10:09] <cjwatson> kelemengabor: I know, but I can't do anything about it now | |
| [10:09] <cjwatson> kelemengabor: I might arrange for a deadline extension if possible | |
| [10:09] <kelemengabor> well, how about delaying it a week? | |
| [10:09] <cjwatson> I can't | |
| [10:09] <cjwatson> that would require delaying the Ubuntu release | |
| [10:09] <cjwatson> (I'm entirely serious) | |
| [10:11] <kelemengabor> but extending the deadline only for d-i could work? | |
| [10:11] <cjwatson> kelemengabor: I'm asking elsewhere | |
| === seb128_ is now known as seb128 | |
| [10:12] <cjwatson> kelemengabor: and no, the installer translations cannot possibly wait until next Thursday (that's release candidate day!), but we may be able to allow the extra weekend or something | |
| [10:12] <cjwatson> kelemengabor: I will mail ubuntu-translators@ with details | |
| [10:12] <kelemengabor> okay, thanks | |
| [10:20] <Mirv> kelemengabor: I think the import queue is quite fast these days, though there are the OOo stuff now there which takes some time | |
| [10:21] <cjwatson> Mirv: hmm, I'm confused, I still don't see the "Network proxy" string in https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/debian-installer/+pots/debian-installer/fi/+translate | |
| [10:22] <cjwatson> Mirv: is it really there and I'm just blind? | |
| [10:22] <kelemengabor> Mirv: not really... | |
| [10:22] <Mirv> cjwatson: the templates are in the import queue, not imported | |
| [10:22] <cjwatson> ah | |
| [10:22] <Mirv> kelemengabor: actually carlos asked for a priorization of the debian-installer templates, so hopefully they'd go in today or so | |
| [10:22] <kelemengabor> these days it's very slow, partially due to the OO.o templates | |
| [10:23] <cjwatson> ok, I can't really mail ubuntu-translators@ until they're actually in place | |
| [10:24] <kelemengabor> some weeks ago my uploads were imported in a few hours, but my latest d-i translation is there since friday... | |
| [10:24] <kelemengabor> lets hope priorization works | |
| [10:26] <carlos> cjwatson: I hope it happens in next 2 hours at most... | |

| [11:28] <james_w> do I need to explain the whole fix in the changelog of the new version, or will the user be shown both changelog entries when updating from -updates? | |
| [11:28] <slytherin> TheMuso: calc: Thanks for working on OOo. :-) | |
| [11:30] <MacSlow> I'm trying to remove/purge non-needed kernel-images/modules and to free space on my hd, but I get errors form update-initramfs for trying to generate new initrd.img for kernel-versions I'm trying to remove? Since my /boot partition is full it fails. | |
| [11:31] <MacSlow> Can someone enlighten me why a "dpkg --purge" tries to fill space on /boot instead of freeing space on the partition? | |
| [11:31] <cjwatson> it's because when you remove linux-ubuntu-modules it doesn't know that linux-image is also being removed and so it needs to regenerate the initramfs | |
| [11:31] <cjwatson> not really easy to fix without breaking other things :( | |
| [11:32] <ion_> cjwatson: Kernel version specific dpkg hooks? | |
| [11:32] <MacSlow> cjwatson, but I have to remove the kernel-modules too because of dependencies dpkg complains about otherwise | |
| [11:32] <cjwatson> let me rephrase, not really easy to fix in a practical manner for hardy | |
| [11:32] <cjwatson> MacSlow: I understand | |
| [11:33] <MacSlow> arx... hm... so now I'm left with a broken update on my work-machine due to a too small /boot-partition (100 MBytes) | |
| [11:34] <cjwatson> MacSlow: the quickest way to deal with this is probably to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-ubuntu-modules-*.postrm (for the versions you're trying to remove) as root, and comment out the update-initramfs lines | |
| [11:34] <MacSlow> hm... fresh install and saving /home is the only solution I can think of atm | |
| [11:34] <slytherin> MacSlow: How about you remove both in same command. I mean does it work? | |
| [11:34] <cjwatson> MacSlow: MASSIVE OVERKILL! | |
| [11:34] <cjwatson> slytherin: no, it won't | |
| [11:34] <slytherin> cjwatson: Oh. I think then yours is the easiest solution | |
| [11:35] <cjwatson> (P.S. there's no need to explicitly save /home with the hardy installer; it will take care of that for you. But it's overkill to reinstall for this.) | |
| [11:35] <MacSlow> cjwatson, ok I try that /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-ubuntu-modules-*.postrm-thing | |
| [11:35] <cjwatson> MacSlow: I agree that it's unfortunate, and you should file a bug on linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24 if there isn't one already. I don't see an obvious correct solution but it would be worth a bug report anyway. | |
| [11:36] <ion_> Wouldn’t dpkg hooks with the kernel version in their name be a correct solution? | |
| [11:37] <cjwatson> ion_: you can say "dpkg hooks" with no further details and solve any problem ... What exact hook semantics would help here? | |
| [11:37] <cjwatson> Do you mean dpkg triggers? | |
| [11:38] <TheMuso> asac: No I'm not sure. Users can at least try it I guess. | |
| [11:39] <ion_> cjwatson: Sorry, triggers, yeah. Brainfart. Something wants to do update-initramfs for 2.6.24-15-generic, there’s a trigger with ‘2.6.24-15-generic’ in its name activated. When purging 2.6.24-15-generic, the trigger would either just have disappeared, or it would notice that 2.6.24-15-generic doesn’t exist anymore and do nothing. | |
| [11:42] <cjwatson> ion_: that sounds like it would work, but it's far too late to make such a change for hardy | |
| [11:43] <ion_> cjwatson: Yeah | |
| [11:43] <cjwatson> if MacSlow files a bug, that could be tried in 8.10 and possibly be a candidate for 8.04.1 | |
| [11:44] <doko> seb128, ScottK: is there no replacement for galculator, which couldn't be used for -mobile? | |
| [11:45] <seb128> doko: no idea, I'm not a mobile team guy | |
| [11:45] <seb128> dunno what are their requirements | |

| [11:52] <MacSlow> pitti, what's the name of the actual restricted-manager binary? | |
| [11:52] <MacSlow> dpkg -L restricted-manager/-core does not yield much | |
| [11:53] <seb128> MacSlow: jockey-gtk jockey-common | |
| [11:53] <MacSlow> seb128, ah ok... why the name-change? Or was it named that from the beginning? | |
| [11:54] <seb128> MacSlow: because it can manages all drivers now and not only the restricted ones | |

| [12:11] <Silicium> heyho | |
| [12:11] <Silicium> there are any documentations about debootstrap scripting? | |
| [12:11] <Silicium> the debootstrap scripts | |
| [12:16] <cjwatson> Silicium: not to my knowledge; they're not really supposed to be edited by non-developers | |
| [12:17] <cjwatson> Silicium: what are you trying to achieve? there are usually better ways than changing debootstrap | |
| [12:17] <Silicium> i need to install one additional package after base install over debootstrap | |
| [12:18] <cjwatson> are you using the ordinary installer? | |
| [12:23] <cjwatson> Silicium: if you're using the ordinary installer, you can just preseed pkgsel/include to a list of the extra packages you want to install | |
| [12:23] <cjwatson> much easier than messing around with debootstrap scripts | |
| [12:25] <laga> cjwatson: i've tried to make a new task for mythbuntu. does this look sane? http://www.pastebin.ca/976701 | |
| [12:26] <Silicium> cjwatson: i dont want preseed :) | |
| [12:26] <Silicium> i need that for develop | |
| [12:26] <Silicium> and installing on CF cards and so | |
| [12:27] <cjwatson> Silicium: I don't understand your objection; but alternatively you could set the packages you want to be Priority: important in the Packages file, if you're already customising that | |
| [12:27] <cjwatson> laga: the packages in Task-Key need to be actually listed in the seed as well | |
| [12:27] <Silicium> i have one dummy package that install a kind of software | |
| [12:27] <Silicium> and i need to install that one | |
| [12:27] <Silicium> but not with a installer | |
| [12:28] <Silicium> i need to do that over debootstrap | |
| [12:28] <cjwatson> Silicium: well, debootstrap just installs everything with Priority: required and important by default, so just set that appropriately | |
| [12:28] <laga> cjwatson: so it's not sufficient that mythtv-backend-master depends on them? they're still pulled in, right? | |
| [12:28] <cjwatson> laga: also, there's no seed called 'common'. Did you mean 'desktop-common' rather than 'desktop common'? | |
| [12:29] <cjwatson> laga: it's sufficient that it depends on them; why not use Task-Key: mythtv-backend-master, then? | |
| [12:29] <Silicium> cjwatson: so i can change this in the script | |
| [12:29] <Silicium> thats not the problem | |
| [12:29] <laga> cjwatson: i created a new seed called 'common'. i'm afraid the seed layout has changed a bit in our tree (don't ask me why please :)) | |
| [12:29] <cjwatson> laga: oh, err, ok | |
| [12:29] <Silicium> but i prefeer to writ a new script | |
| [12:29] <Silicium> cause is clean | |
| [12:29] <cjwatson> Silicium: your problem, then, if you refuse my advice :) | |
| [12:30] <laga> cjwatson: i'll try to get some sanity back into our seeds for +1 and also write some documentation about seeds, but that'll have to wait a bit. | |
| [12:30] <cjwatson> laga: you should put backend-master before supported in STRUCTURE, and add backend-master to the seeds named in the supported: line there | |
| [12:30] <cjwatson> the last seed in STRUCTURE is used for build-depends generation, so order matters | |
| [12:30] <laga> cjwatson: thanks for your suggestion, i'll modify tas-key | |
| [12:30] <cjwatson> Silicium: writing a new script is generally not the clean option, in my experience as a debootstrap maintainer | |
| [12:31] <Silicium> ok | |
| [12:31] <Silicium> can i get the debootstrap packages from two repositorys? | |
| [12:31] <cjwatson> but if you really want to do that, you can, you're just on your own :) | |
| [12:31] <cjwatson> no, it can only operate on one | |
| [12:31] <Silicium> so on my repository is only my package | |
| [12:32] <Silicium> and the default script want to install a stage one | |
| === luka74 is now known as Lure | |
| [12:33] <cjwatson> I sort of said this before, but I'll try once more. debootstrap's job is only supposed to be to get a minimal base system up and running. It's not supposed to do absolutely everything, and the intent of the authors is that you should layer things on top of it - so if you need more packages than the minimal base system, you should simply install them after running debootstrap. | |
| [12:33] <Silicium> hmm okay | |
| [12:34] <Silicium> then is better i create a own script and do that with aptitude and chroot/fakeroot | |
| [12:34] <Silicium> allright :) | |
| [12:34] <cjwatson> We have run into issues before due to the fact that packages installed within debootstrap have to obey a couple of extra rules, due to the way that debootstrap unpacks things | |
| [12:34] <cjwatson> (unfortunately I forget the details right now) | |
| [12:35] <cjwatson> easy to fix once you encounter it, but a hassle if it's not necessary | |
| [12:38] <cjwatson> laga: you should also have 'Task-Per-Derivative: 1', which means that the task name will be mythbuntu-backend-master rather than just backend-master | |
| [12:39] <cjwatson> laga: also, what deals with installing the contents of the common seed? | |
| [12:42] <laga> cjwatson: i thought/hoped it would be pulled in if i say "live: desktop common" in STRUCTURE | |
| [12:42] <TheMuso> seb128: Tested that it works now, and uploaded. | |
| [12:42] <seb128> TheMuso: thanks | |
| [12:42] <TheMuso> seb128: np, sorry I missed it. :) | |
| [12:43] <seb128> that's alright, happen to everybody | |
| [12:43] <seb128> I was going to try before accepting the binary | |
| [12:43] <seb128> but somebody else did get it you of new before that | |
| [12:43] <seb128> s/you/out | |
| [12:46] <cjwatson> laga: where can I see the whole seeds? mythbuntu.hardy in what I thought was the obvious place doesn't have a common seed | |
| [12:47] <laga> cjwatson: sorry, i havent pushed yet. didn't want to push possibly broken stuff. wait a sec | |
| [12:49] <laga> cjwatson: pushed | |
| [12:57] <cjwatson> laga: I'd recommend applying http://paste.ubuntu.com/6615/ so that the common seed is used when installing the live or backend-master tasks | |
| [12:57] <cjwatson> you don't need it for the others since ship and ship-live aren't installed directly | |
| [12:59] <laga> cjwatson: does STRUCTURE need to be changed? | |
| [12:59] <cjwatson> no | |
| [12:59] <cjwatson> oh, err, one other glitch | |
| [13:00] <cjwatson> tasksel doesn't really have a way for tasks to depend on each other | |
| [13:00] <cjwatson> so you have to fake this in seeds | |
| [13:00] <cjwatson> in order for backend-master to rely on desktop, you need to actually put mythbuntu-desktop in the backend-master seed | |
| [13:00] <laga> where mythbuntu-desktop is a (meta) package? | |
| [13:00] <cjwatson> it's not necessary for the live seed since the live CD filesystem builder usually sorts this out for you | |
| [13:01] <cjwatson> yes, I assume you already have that | |
| [13:01] <cjwatson> you do | |
| [13:01] <laga> yes | |
| [13:01] <laga> ok, thanks. quite complicated :) | |
| [13:01] <cjwatson> yes :) | |
| === davmor2 is now known as davmor2_away | |
| [13:12] <\sh> seb128, nautilus uses nowadays the registered binfmt stuff we provide within a package, right? | |
| [13:13] <seb128> \sh: no idea about how binfmt works but nautilus nothing special to use that so I would say no | |
| === davmor2_away is now known as usages | |
| [13:14] <\sh> seb128, so it honours mime-types which are provided by .desktop files (e.g. application/exe or whatever mime-type name) ... | |
| === usages is now known as davmor2_away | |
| [13:14] <seb128> yes | |
| [13:15] <seb128> it uses shared-mime-info to determine the mimetype and look to desktop files claiming this mimetype to know what to use | |
| [13:21] <seb128> doko: could you build the launchpad-integration build priority on i386? | |
| [13:24] <doko> seb128: done, btw, do you know why the translations are never merged back from rosetta? | |
| [13:24] <seb128> doko: thanks, merged back where? | |
| [13:24] <doko> seb128: into the package | |
| [13:25] <seb128> doko: what package? launchpad-integration? because we use the language packs I think | |
| [13:26] <doko> seb128: yes, but the translation status in rosetta never gets updated. so at least I never know if there are really new or changed translations when I export the data for the OOo menu strings | |
| [13:26] <seb128> doko: ah | |
| [13:26] <seb128> doko: I'll update translations when doing the next upload | |
| [13:29] <doko> seb128: thanks! | |
| [13:29] <laga> cjwatson: it's magic. i've now got a mythbuntu-backend-master task! i have no clue if it works as intended, but it's there :) | |
| [13:30] <laga> ogra_cmpc: still planning a new ltsp upload? or did i miss that opportunity? | |
| [13:30] <cjwatson> laga: great | |
| [13:34] <laga> cjwatson: everything in the 'common' seed will also be installed when i select backend-master in tasksel? | |
| [13:35] <cjwatson> right, that's the idea | |
| [13:35] <cjwatson> though, hmm, that relies on Launchpad Task headers | |
| [13:35] <cjwatson> argh, please give me a minute, I'm doing four things at once and something has to give | |
| [13:36] <laga> sure, take your time. | |
| [13:45] <laga> cjwatson: my reasoning for having 'common' was that live and ship have the same packages. i guess these only list what is included on the disks. ultimately, i want the live disk and the alternate disk to have the same set of packages available (minus ubiquity) and then use tasks on the alternate to install a subset of these. | |
| [13:45] <ogra_cmpc> laga, i was planning one for today/night, even though the main changes will be rather ldm | |
| [13:46] <laga> cjwatson: i figured explaining what i actually want to do is a bit better than letting you guess, although it might seem like i want you to do my work :) | |
| [13:46] <laga> ogra_cmpc: okay. i reated a ticket with a patch the other day and assigned it to you, but i guess you have seen that | |
| [13:48] <ogra_cmpc> laga, did you file that as ltsp bug ? i dont seem to see it | |
| [13:48] <laga> let's see | |
| [13:48] <stgraber> ogra_cmpc: I'll have a fix to include in like 5min | |

| [15:19] <sistpoty|work> slytherin: that depends... means that a build didn't produce output on stdout for $timeout. could indicate that it's stalled, could also mean that it's just taking a very long time w.o. producing output ;) | |

| [16:46] <cjwatson> what else would it be according to? :-) | |
| [16:47] <cjwatson> it looks like the build-dependencies are inconsistent somehow | |
| [16:47] <mjg59> It's not obviously clear why the install is failing - packages.u.c says that 4.1.4-2 is in the archive for gutsy | |
| [16:47] <\sh> cjwatson, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/giflib/ <- all debs are there :) | |
| [16:47] <cjwatson> yes I know | |
| [16:47] <cjwatson> I suggest you debootstrap --variant=buildd a chroot and try installing all the stuff that sbuild says it wants to install | |
| [16:47] <cjwatson> simultaneously | |
| [16:47] <\sh> could it be a confusion in the packages file? (giflib now in main, but for gutsy in universe) ? | |
| [16:47] <cjwatson> then drill down by eliminating bits of it | |
| [16:48] <\sh> cjwatson, sbuild on my machine for gutsy fails too | |
| [16:48] <\sh> cjwatson, and I'm using the packages files from a.u.c | |
| [16:48] <cjwatson> archive-level inconsistencies are massively less likely than a package-level screwup. Don't start your investigation with the least likely possibility | |
| [16:48] <mjg59> \sh: Ah, yes - it doesn't say it can't find libgif4, it says it's not going to be installed | |
| [16:48] <cjwatson> right, i.e. build-deps inconsistent somehow | |
| [16:48] <cjwatson> as I said above | |
| [16:49] <\sh> cjwatson, debian/control: -> libgif-dev | libungif4-dev <- so it takes libgif-dev and tries to install libgif4 (which is correct) | |
| [16:50] <cjwatson> and something else in the build-dependencies makes that impossible | |
| [16:50] <cjwatson> like if you try to install libgif-dev and something that conflicts with libgif4 simultaneously, you'll get that | |
| [16:50] <\sh> damn...we have this libgif libungif problem again | |
| [16:50] <cjwatson> (for example; of course there are other possibilities) | |
| [16:50] <\sh> cjwatson, no...we had this before...I remember now... | |
| [16:51] <\sh> and for gutsy we strictly used libungif instead of libgif | |
| [16:52] <cjwatson> so change wine's build-deps to match? | |
| [16:53] <\sh> cjwatson, for hardy it's correct...backports are the problem | |
| [16:54] <cjwatson> then you'll have to have a non-trivial source-change backport | |
| [16:54] <cjwatson> which core developers can do by regular uploads | |
| [16:55] <\sh> ok... | |
| [16:56] <\sh> ScottK, please remove libgif-dev from wine backport build-dep so only libungif is getting in..then it works | |
| [16:56] * \sh thinks it was fontforge which clashed these days with libgif | |
| [16:57] <\sh> cjwatson, thx :) | |

| [19:23] <jdong> ogra_cmpc: I think we need to get such a form for rejecting FFes :D | |
| [19:23] <xtknight> mvo, basically there's two desktop files in vinagre, and each of them is appearing in add/remove programs. we should exclude one from the app-install-data database, probably | |
| [19:24] <mvo> xtknight: yeah, that must have slipped thourgh, we have a blacklist for this, I will keep it in mind for the next update (due today or tomorrow) | |
| [19:24] <xtknight> mvo, oh ok. so you're the package maintainer? | |
| [19:24] <ogra_cmpc> jdong, heh | |
| [19:25] <mvo> xtknight: yes | |
| [19:28] <xtknight> mvo, i made a little tool to show packages with more than one desktop file, where the error is possible. but not necessarily all of them have this problem, in fact very few do. there are some packages that have two different desktop files for each component of themselves (Like xfprint4) but the entries work fine in add/remove progs: they just cancel each other out and they're not duplicates because they're differently named. | |
| [19:28] <xtknight> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62543/ | |
| [19:29] <xtknight> i am not sure what we want to do about those, for example "Xfce 4 print dialog" and "Xfce 4 print manager" are the same package, both are listed in add/remove. i guess this is fine? | |
| [19:29] <mvo> xtknight: have you run it against the ddata in /usr/share/app-install/desktop ? | |
| [19:30] <xtknight> mvo, this just goes through debian packages and determines which ones have more than one .desktop file by listing all their files. but i don't see any results from app-install/desktop specifically | |
| [19:31] <xtknight> well i'd probably need a different script to determine if there were duplicates in that folder because they all come from app-install-data | |
| [19:31] * mvo nods | |
| [19:31] <xtknight> maybe with the same X-AppInstall-Package=? | |
| [19:32] <jdong> ogra_cmpc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnDong/FFeRejectionForm | |
| [19:32] <mvo> yeah, I think a test with this would be cool. sometimes this is intentional as a package ships functionatliy where it is appropriate to have multiple ones (e.g. gnome-games), but generally its not | |

| [22:37] <larson9999> one of the things that's bugged me for a while with ubuntu is the fact that the first time you click on the main menu icon(i use the smaller main menu vs that 'huge' main menu that's the default) there is quite a long lag before it opens. but with the default there is no lag. is there a way to make the smaller main menu have no lag like the default? | |
| [22:39] <_MMA_> larson9999: I believe it's because it's caching more images at one time. I see this on other GNOME systems as well. | |
| [22:41] <larson9999> _MMA_, yeah, i do see it on other gnome systems too. but my menu isn't so big. my guess is that the smaller main menu does cach anything on start up but the default does. so i figured if that was the case maybe dev my be the place to correct it. | |

| [22:41] <_MMA_> larson9999: If anything, it's an upstream issue. | |
| [22:43] <larson9999> _MMA_, ok, i'll try there. | |
| [23:30] <tjaalton> slangasek: I'd appreciate if you could shove vdr through NEW when it has built. it only added a package for debugging (vdr-dbg) | |
| [23:30] <tjaalton> slangasek: no rush.. the plugins will wait for it | |
| [23:32] <munckfish> BenC: got a sec? | |
