[00:25] <kirkland> slangasek: said regression test succeeded
[00:26] <slangasek> kirkland: great
[00:56] <slangasek> cody-somerville: do you have that xubuntu docs fix yet?
[00:57] <cody-somerville> slangasek, I'm going through the motions now to review and then hopefully upload
[00:58] <slangasek> cody-somerville: ok. I've just stopped the publisher in order to do one last accept && rebuild run for everything before RC; if you can get it uploaded in the next 15min or so that's ideal, otherwise I'll defer xubuntu until the next publisher run and rebuild you then
[01:20] <cody-somerville> slangasek, test building and test installing and then you'll have the upload
[01:27] <slangasek> bryce: are you on top of bug #277709, or should I subscribe u-m-s?
[01:27] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 277709 in mesa "Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in i830_emit_state" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/277709
[01:27] * bryce looks
[01:27] <bryce> what is u-m-s?
[01:27] <slangasek> ubuntu-main-sponsors
[01:28] <bryce> ah, no need for that. the patch is probably fine, just adds an if check. but I want to look at the original code to see where this comes in
[01:28] <bryce> I'll take care of it once I've finished my current task
[01:28] <slangasek> ok
[01:31] <slangasek> superm1: ping
[01:31] <slangasek> superm1: unping
[01:39] <bryce> slangasek: yep patch looks perfect. shall I upload?
[01:40] <slangasek> bryce: yes please
[01:56] <slangasek> apachelogger: why are there no bugs referenced in this kdeutils upload?
[01:58] <slangasek> bryce: do you have a minute to be a sounding board for me on bug #282203?
[01:58] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 282203 in wacom-tools "Wacom tablet hotplug is no longer enabled by default" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/282203
[01:58] <bryce> slangasek: sure
[01:59] <apachelogger> slangasek: I didn't find one, ScottK however complained about gz files not being opened properly, I can explain the problem if you want
[01:59] <slangasek> bryce: so the request is to enable the fdi file by default that will let the tablet be picked up for input hotplugging; this will only work for the stylus, which is why I was avoiding the change
[01:59] <slangasek> apachelogger: explain it in a bug and subscribe ubuntu-release, please
[02:00] <apachelogger> slangasek: ok
[02:01] <slangasek> bryce: but from the attachments in the bug, it's not enough to use the same xorg.conf from hardy on intrepid in order to get full tablet support, because hotplug is all-or-nothing and you have to list *all* your input devices there, including those that didn't have to be spelled out in hardy?
[02:01] <slangasek> bryce: do I understand that right?
[02:02] * bryce nods
[02:02] <slangasek> ok
[02:02] <slangasek> that means anyone who needs full tablet support *must* edit xorg.conf, whether on upgrade or new install; so it doesn't hurt us anything to use hotplug by default
[02:02] <slangasek> accepting then, thansk
[02:04] <bryce> yeah as I understand it the issue is something to do with -evdev not handling devices that consist of multiple pieces (tablet, stylus, eraser,...)
[02:05] <bryce> however I don't know exactly what work's required to get all that going. It's something on my "if I had time, I'd..." list
[02:08] <slangasek> ogra was talking about needing more fdi files
[02:08] <slangasek> I'll hit him up for some release notes text tomorrow
[02:09] <bryce> cool
[02:09] <slangasek> augh, where did bug #276857 come from
[02:09] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 276857 in hal "libhal_ctx_init() returns FALSE, causing Xserver to fail to set up keyboard/mouse" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/276857
[02:09] <slangasek> oh, it came from you :-P
[02:09] <bryce> slangasek: came from ted
[02:09] <slangasek> ok :)
[02:10] <bryce> slangasek: got assigned to me since it looked X-ish, but tracing it down, it seems more hal/dbus-ish
[02:11] <bryce> it's not 100% obvious to me that it's not just a wonky system
[02:12] <bryce> us developers tend to beat up our systems pretty thoroughly
[02:12] <slangasek> sure, it's clearly not common-case
[02:14] <slangasek> cody-somerville: how goes?
[02:15] <cody-somerville> slangasek, I'm having a little difficulty finding the button to disabling the draft watermark.
[02:15] <cody-somerville> slangasek, However, I could do the upload now if you need me to
[02:16] <slangasek> take whatever time you need, just checking whether I should be waiting on you
[02:16] <slayton> where can I download the intrepid nightly builds?
[02:16] <cody-somerville> slangasek, Well, you did give me a timeframe
[02:16] <cody-somerville> slangasek, The changes that need to be made are made
[02:16] <cody-somerville> slangasek, This is extra
[02:16] <slangasek> cody-somerville: but that sounds like an "extra" that still needs to be done before release?
[02:17] <slangasek> mdke: what's the status of ubuntu-docs?
[02:17] <cody-somerville> slangasek, right - but not critical for release candidate
[02:17] <cody-somerville> slangasek, so when you want me to upload and can't wait any longer, just shout
[02:17] <slangasek> cody-somerville: if you're going to continue working on it today, I can wait for you to figure it out or give up for the night :)

[02:19] <slangasek> apachelogger: thanks
[02:21] <bryce> slangasek: 277709 uploaded
[02:22] <cody-somerville> slangasek, okay, found it. testing then will upload.
[02:32] <superm1> slangasek, i assume the pings were about the NEW bluez-compat? it should end up in universe, it's not supported by upstream at all, but is there to appease anyone that runs into troubles using the wizard and wants to use the old hidd, dund, pand
[02:34] <slangasek> superm1: yes, thus the un-ping :)
[02:37] <cody-somerville> slangasek, uploaded

[03:22] <superm1> Awsoonn, from what i can see in bzr history, it was imported from the warty seeds in 2004, and then at revision 910 was set as a recommend instead of a depend
[03:24] <slangasek> as for the "why", the short explanation is "because Mark wants it there"
[03:25] <slangasek> so that Ubuntu is more useful for bootstrapping people into the land of python programming
[03:28] <nellery> sadly, the link that's supposed to open the ebook from help.ubuntu.com does nothing
[03:29] <slangasek> nellery: help.ubuntu.com is a wiki; if the link is wrong, fix it?
[03:29] <Awsoonn> superm1: thanks much. :)
[03:29] <nellery> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/programming/C/ar01s01.html
[03:29] <nellery> it's the official docs
[03:30] <nellery> it's supposed to open up the file in your system
[03:31] <slangasek> hmm, the link itself points to the right place
[03:31] <slangasek> either it's a firefox security issue (no following links to local files), or something is wrong that I'm not catching
[03:33] <ajmitch> probably the former, I can't get the link to do anything on hardy
[03:35] <Hobbsee> that link works for me on intrepid
[03:36] <Awsoonn> link fails for me on intrepid
[03:36] <ajmitch> Hobbsee: clicking on the dive into python link from the wiki?
[03:36] <Hobbsee> hrm, wait.
[03:36] <Hobbsee> no it doesn't.
[03:36] <Hobbsee> although copying and pasting the link works fine
[03:37] * Awsoonn confirms Hobbsee
[03:38] <Awsoonn> on a slightly related note to another project of mine, is it possible to analyse a webcam stream at a pixel level in python?

[03:54] <TheMuso> CarlFK: The only thing I can think of is bad hardware.
[03:54] <slangasek> CarlFK: is it reproducible?
[03:54] <slangasek> if not, --> hardware
[03:55] <CarlFK> well, I hit uparrow, enter, and it happened again. does that count?
[03:56] <slangasek> yes; now please give us a backtrace, because such crashes aren't debuggable from just the kernel's segfault log

[04:07] <CarlFK> slangasek: http://dpaste.com/86031/
[04:12] <slangasek> CarlFK: please file a bug on apt; you'll probably need to provide a copy of /var/lib/apt/lists - this problem isn't reproducible for me

[04:36] <icanhas> pitti: do you really have a fan club?
[04:36] <TheMuso> CarlFK: You can install debugging symbols from ddebs.ubuntu.com I think it is.
[04:38] <CarlFK> TheMuso: put that in sources.list and apt-get what?
[04:39] <TheMuso> CarlFK: Can't remember. Its on the wiki somewhere.
[04:40] <TheMuso> CarlFK: I just remembered that repo existed.
[04:41] <CarlFK> wow, google only has one hit
[04:41] <StevenK> Given his apt crashes, he probably can't apt-get install debugging libraries
[04:41] <CarlFK> hmm
[04:42] <CarlFK> good point (which I already confirmed, then forgot )
[04:42] <CarlFK> wget and dpkg might help
[04:50] <CarlFK> http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/a/apt/ do I want a .ddeb?
[04:51] <persia> CarlFK, The ddeb contains the symbols stripped from the binary at compile time on the buildd. IF you're building locally, just pass DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip"

[06:40] <CarlFK> yay. thanks
[06:41] <slangasek> I can't do much to help you directly with the bug, I'm not an apt developer and I'm rather tied up with the release candidate preparation right now

[06:46] <EruditeHermit> hey, will the UDS at googleplex in December be open to all or do you need a pass to attend?
[06:49] <persia> EruditeHermit, Should be open to all, although there may be passes issued if complex security requires it. Just register your attendance in Launchpad to make sure you're on the list.
[06:49] <EruditeHermit> persia: I can register even if I am not an Ubuntu developer?
[06:49] <EruditeHermit> persia: and if I am unable to attend for any reason, it doesn't matter right?
[06:50] <persia> EruditeHermit, Sure, if you're going to be there.
[06:50] <EruditeHermit> most likely

[08:45] <pitti> lool: thanks for your libvisual/elisa uploads
[08:46] <pitti> lool: I was a bit scared first, since libvisual changelog doesn't mention dropping jack, but component-mismatches doesn't mention jack any more
[08:46] <lool> pitti: Did you expect me to write a formal MIR for libvisual-plugins, or are the comments on IRC enought to promote it?
[08:46] <slangasek> cjwatson: noticed it was a problem ~1h ago, pinged IS on IRC and was working on other things; just about to ring elmo
[08:46] <lool> pitti: libvisual changelog doesn't mention dropping jack? you mean the upstream changelog?
[08:46] <pitti> lool: no wiki page, but a bug report would be good, together with your recommendation (you are ~ubuntu-mir now, too :) )
[08:47] <pitti> lool: no, debian/changelog
[08:47] <cjwatson> slangasek: ok, ringing or SMSing elmo sounds reasonable about now
[08:47] <cjwatson> and is what I was going to suggest ;)
[08:48] <lool> pitti: I did mention it in 0.4.0.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1!?
[08:48] <lool> * Drop libjack0.100.0-dev bdep as even if it's detected correctly by the
[08:48] <lool> upstream configure.ac, the list of input plugins to build is reset later
[08:48] <lool> in this file. Incidentally, this allows promoting libvisual-plugins to

[09:01] <lool> slangasek: I don't know how high #281610 is on your radar, but you should be made aware that it breaks Xorg for many ports (ppc, sparc, hppa at least); not sure how useful it is to release live RC images for these arches with this bug in place

[09:03] <slangasek> I think we'll probably skip releasing RC images for the ports because of that bug, they don't get formal testing on our test matrix anyway
[09:03] <lool> tjaalton: I think RC is tomorrow AIUI

[10:13] <Hobbsee> realist: we keep telling him that, and he never learns.
[10:15] <jdahlin> libtool 2.2.4 on intrepid breaks quite a bit of software, is there a plan to downgrade, or at least provide 1.5 packages?
[10:16] <StevenK> Such as?
[10:17] <jdahlin> afaik gnome libraries (glib for instance)
[10:18] <StevenK> libglib2.0 in the archive built with it
[10:19] <seb128> jdahlin: talk to Keybuk, but what about fixing upstream to be compatible with the current tools?
[10:19] <jdahlin> well, glib itself parses .la files, these parts are no longer working properly
[10:19] <slangasek> eh? why does glib parse .la files?
[10:20] <jdahlin> g_module_open is a dlopen wrapper, it's useful for it to work without having to install libraries
[10:20] <Keybuk> so glib hasn't been updated?
[10:21] <jdahlin> apparently not
[10:21] <Keybuk> someone should do that ;)
[10:21] <slangasek> sigh. if it's useful for it to work without having to install libraries, why is it wrapping dlopen instead of libltdl? :(
[10:21] <Keybuk> slangasek: indeed
[10:21] <jdahlin> Keybuk, do you have an idea why shrext_cmd in libtool --config is set to an empty string?
[10:22] <jdahlin> *shrext_cmds
[10:22] <Keybuk> it isn't
[10:22] <Keybuk> # Shared library suffix (normally ".so").
[10:22] <Keybuk> shrext_cmds=".so"
[10:22] <jdahlin> it is on the copy of libtool in my source tree
[10:22] <Keybuk> libtoolize issue?
[10:22] <jdahlin> no idea
[10:23] <Keybuk> gnome's autogen has a bug where it manages to get it utterly wrong
[10:23] <jdahlin> oh?
[10:23] <Keybuk> assumedly "they wanted it to work without having to use the perfectly good tool already available to do it"
[10:23] <Keybuk> run "autoreconf -v -i -f" on your tree
[10:23] <Keybuk> and configure again
[10:24] <slangasek> Keybuk: pssh, now you're making them sound like Qt
[10:24] <jdahlin> Keybuk, doesn't change anything.
[10:25] <jdahlin> Oh, perhaps this is only because I haven't removed all *.la files on my system yet
[10:25] <Keybuk> jdahlin: you don't need to remove .la files
[10:25] <jdahlin> Keybuk, I do, they tend to break builds
[10:26] <Keybuk> no, they don't
[10:26] <Keybuk> they fail because the build is wrong
[10:26] <Keybuk> but most people disagree that it's wron
[10:26] <Keybuk> on Linux, libtool replicates a build failure that happens on things like Solaris
[10:26] <Keybuk> so people remove .la files blindly believing it to be stupid
[10:26] <jdahlin> I don't care about Solaris
[10:27] <jdahlin> If someone wants to port my software to other OS, it's up to them to fix it, not me
[10:27] <Keybuk> your package is likely failing because you have mixed pieces of both libtool 2.2 and libtool 1.5 in your source tree
[10:27] <slangasek> I remove them with my eyes open, believing that replicating Solaris build failures is stupid
[10:27] <slangasek> :P
[10:27] <Keybuk> slangasek: but you cause build failures with static libraries as a result :-/
[10:27] <Keybuk> pkg-config does alleviate this pain of course
[10:28] <jdahlin> who cares about static libraries?

[10:39] <pitti> smurf: I need to find some time to do the same test case on earlier kernels, indeed
[10:39] <pitti> but probably not this week, too much release stuff going on

[11:10] <cody-somerville> slangasek, is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex/RC/Xubuntu suppose to be release notes or release announcement?
[11:11] <cody-somerville> or I guess what you're now calling "TechnicalOverview"
[11:11] <slangasek> cody-somerville: whatever you want me to link to from the ubuntu-announce release announcement; it would parallel the TechnicalOverview, yes
[11:12] <slangasek> tseliot: looking
[11:12] <smurf> pitti: Hmm, I'm afraid that when this problem seriously shreds somebody's CD (or finger), this bug is going to be RC in a hurry. :-/ I hope that I can dig up some free time myself this week, but no promises unfortunately

[11:15] <wgrant> slangasek: Is somebody going to fix the "GNOME Logout Applet" section in the release notes soon?
[11:16] <slangasek> tseliot: what does update-manager do if the CPU /doesn't/ support SSE? Refuse to upgrade? Migrate them to nv?
[11:17] <slangasek> wgrant: release-noting is definitely on my agenda for the morning
[11:17] <tseliot> slangasek: it should display a warning about the fact that the nvidia driver won't work and, if users accept to proceed with the installation, Update Manager will use the "nv" driver
[11:17] <wgrant> slangasek: Just checking that it hadn't been somehow overlooked, as other parts have changed.
[11:19] <slangasek> tseliot: I've adjusted the section now in a way that I think is more logical; does it look ok to you still?

[12:09] <pitti> Riddell: demoting arts binary to universe is okay? kdelibs4c2a still depends on the library, but nothing pulls in arts any more

[12:10] <pitti> Riddell: or should it be seeded?
[12:11] <Riddell> pitti: hmm
[12:11] <Riddell> pitti: arts package itself is empty, I can put it in supported
[12:11] <tseliot> Riddell: yes, I tried "X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true" but it doesn't seem to help with jockey. I have noticed that we jockey is launched by autostart and its icon shows up in the system tray I can click on that icon and jockey works well
[12:12] <pitti> Riddell: hm, it doesn't look that useful; well, your call
[12:12] <Riddell> tseliot: that's because pitti made it run through /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu
[12:12] <pitti> tseliot, Riddell: but that's not due to the desktop file
[12:13] <pitti> if you want to run it as root right from the start, I assume you have to add kdesudo to the Exec= in the .desktop? or should X-KDE-Subst be enough?
[12:13] <Riddell> right from the start being when you start it from the applications menu?
[12:13] <Riddell> X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true should do that
[12:15] <tseliot> Riddell: where is the script/or source of the daemon which launches all the scripts in autostart in kde?
[12:16] <Riddell> tseliot: what are you wanting to autostart?
[12:16] <Riddell> I think it's ksmserver which does the autostart stuff
[12:16] <tseliot> Riddell: I would like to know whether the autostarter has root privileges or not
[12:17] <Riddell> it doesn't
[12:17] <tseliot> as calling jockey with kdesu doesn't seem to solve the problem

[12:40] <cjwatson> podebconf-report-po line 1160
[12:40] <pitti> cjwatson: --help aborts with that perl error, and it's not in the manpage
[12:41] <cjwatson> oh, meh, that 'use' is wrong
[12:42] <pitti> does the eval {require} already import it?
[12:42] <cjwatson> use Mail::Box::Manager => import Mail::Box::Manager, I suspect
[12:43] <cjwatson> use compiles to BEGIN { require; import } basically
[12:43] <cjwatson> and it's not wrapped in eval or anything so that bypasses the conditional
[12:45] * pitti tests
[12:47] <pitti> cjwatson: that works for the uninstalled case, but I still get lots of errors
[12:47] <pitti> cjwatson: anyway, I'll look at that further, thanks
[12:48] <pitti> ah, touching the folder helps, works now
[12:49] <pitti> cjwatson: ok, I'll send that fix to Debian and upload with the recommends dropped

[12:55] <Hobbsee> tseliot: if they're not valid anymore, etc, please mark them as such :) Thanks
[12:57] <tseliot> Hobbsee: I've marked them as invalid since those packages are no longer available in intrepid

[13:08] <cjwatson> mvo: that's odd, I'll try it after lunch
[13:08] <cjwatson> mvo: oh, hang on, no, that's deliberate
[13:09] <mvo> cjwatson: I'm curious, why is it done that way?
[13:09] <cjwatson> * Always disable the CD at the end of installation if no mirrors are
[13:09] <cjwatson> present, even if it's a complete CD. These days it's more irritating

[13:18] <mathiaz> james_w: yes - but shussh... it's an easter egg
[13:18] <liw> pitti, if you ask me, Frozen Bubble should be removed from Ubuntu, and all developers should be required to run a kernel that prevents it from becoming installed

[13:45] <Hobbsee> liw: why does system-cleaner install with no icon?
[13:45] <liw> Hobbsee, because nobody has made an icon
[13:45] <Hobbsee> liw: oh :(
[13:45] <Hobbsee> liw: tried emailing the ubuntu-artwork list or something asking someone to make one?
[13:46] <liw> Hobbsee, yes
[13:46] <Hobbsee> oh
[13:46] <Hobbsee> no dice, apparently.
[13:46] <cody-somerville> Hobbsee, just open up gimp :P
[13:46] <liw> (I don't intend to spend a lot of effort on an icon that I don't think is in any way important, though)
[13:47] <Hobbsee> liw: tha't strue. it might just be ncie to have.
[13:47] <Hobbsee> cody-somerville: i suck at graphics...
[13:47] <liw> Hobbsee, on the other hand, people asking me about the icon about a dozen times a day is becoming to motivate me
[13:47] <Hobbsee> liw: hehe, sorry :)
[13:48] <liw> Hobbsee, for whatever reason, people care less about having all their kernels removed than about the icon ;-)
[13:48] <Hobbsee> haha
[13:48] <Hobbsee> that's true
[13:52] <directhex> kernels are overrated. art is all about first impressions!
[13:55] <broonie> If you make their system unbootable they won't eb able to get online to complain.
[13:55] <liw> broonie, they will just use a live cd
[13:56] <liw> broonie, to file a bug that THERE WAS NO ICON for removing kernels, obviously :)
[13:56] <liw> more seriously, I hope to have _something_ as an icon for the next upload
[13:56] <liw> also, not removing quite so many kernels

[14:12] <Mirv> cjwatson: I don't know if you tested the fix for bug 287046, but while it does include all the translations besides fixing the original problem, the translations aren't actually shown because of some probably small glitch. installed from today's daily which has 0.3.15.

[14:21] <jdong> (the patch looks slightly hairy, it's a minor rewrite of a tooltip-popping routine)
[14:34] <bluefoxicy> Here's a thought
[14:34] <bluefoxicy> When Ubuntu goes into official beta, most packages are stable, right?
[14:34] <bluefoxicy> i.e. not much is realistically going to change by release (in 8 days)
[14:35] <Hobbsee> RC, you mean?
[14:35] <Hobbsee> and we hope not
[14:35] <bluefoxicy> how about update-manager having a setting to fetch information about an upcoming release, and X days before release begin downloading the packages
[14:35] <pitti> -- intrepid/main build deps on xscreensaver:
[14:35] <cjwatson> Mirv: I wasn't able to test it all the way through, no
[14:35] <pitti> kdeartwork
[14:35] <pitti> o_O
[14:35] <cjwatson> Mirv: sounds like a new bug though
[14:35] <bluefoxicy> that way on release day it can say, "Hey! New version! :D Want to install?" YES and no download
[14:36] <mvo> cjwatson: a first draft for the language-selector text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60994/ - review welcome :)
[14:36] <cjwatson> Mirv: I'm reasonably confident that the actual .note file in language-selector is in the right format now
[14:36] <Hobbsee> pitti: what about it?
[14:36] <cjwatson> bluefoxicy: an absolute buttload changes between beta and release
[14:36] <bluefoxicy> (Possibly this is better if there's bittorrent based package distribution)
[14:36] <cjwatson> look at intrepid-changes ...
[14:36] <bluefoxicy> cjwatson: hm. Nods. So not so great?
[14:36] <cjwatson> mvo: looks fine
[14:36] <pitti> Hobbsee: it's the only thing that keeps xscreensaver in main, and it doesn't sound like something a package wouldneed to buid-depend on
[14:37] <Hobbsee> pitti: ahhh. Now, iirc, there was a reason for that.
[14:37] <cjwatson> bluefoxicy: RC->release not so much changes, but even then it gets a new set of language packs
[14:37] <pitti> Hobbsee: if we keep it, we also need to promote xli, or drop its recommend:
[14:37] <cjwatson> bluefoxicy: so I'm a bit sceptical - I'm also concerned that it would ramp up server load right when it's most critical for us to get urgent work done
[14:38] <bluefoxicy> cjwatson: Yeah, I'm worried about server load, hence the bittorrent comment. I'm just thinking about last time I upgraded.
[14:38] <bluefoxicy> it spent 2 days downloading packages.
[14:38] <cjwatson> bittorrent has not exactly been what you might call an unalloyed success on the server side
[14:38] <Hobbsee> pitti: from vague memory, i *think* there are no, or very few screensavers, if it's not there. OTOH, it's not used a lot, as it's not part of kubuntu-desktop.
[14:38] <cjwatson> the tracker is absolutely horrible to run and it gets worse the more files are involved
[14:38] <bluefoxicy> damn
[14:39] <cjwatson> I realise it's good client-side which is why we keep running it
[14:39] <bluefoxicy> didn't someone develop trackerless bittorrent?
[14:39] <cjwatson> dunno
[14:39] <bluefoxicy> there was a big deal made about how they "decentralized" bittorrent
[14:39] <bluefoxicy> in a special fork
[14:39] <Hobbsee> pitti: check in #kubuntu-devel though, i'm not sure if it's changed for kde4
[14:39] <bluefoxicy> and then it went nowhere
[14:39] <Riddell> pitti: kdeartwork needs to build-dep on xscreensavers so it knows what screensavers exist, it then creates .desktop files for those screensavers so kde can use xscreensavers through its settings
[14:39] <Hobbsee> there we go
[14:40] <pitti> Riddell: ah, thanks
[14:41] <tseliot> Riddell: can you modify the .desktop file of jockey-kde according to what is in the diff (only the lines in green) and see if you can reproduce the problem with the wirless driver? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jockey-hackers/jockey/trunk/revision/496
[14:41] <Trewas> bluefoxicy: there's trackerless bittorrent (with two variants even, mainline and azureus)... but no matter how you look at it, bittorrent sucks for distributing lots of small files
[14:41] <Riddell> tseliot: ok, once this upgrade test is done
[14:41] <tseliot> ok, thanks
[14:42] <bluefoxicy> Trewas: interesting. My big problem with bittorrent is you can't alter the torrent, i.e. you can't add/remove files to/from it at leisure and have clients update
[14:42] <pitti> Riddell: my suspicion is that kdesudo kills $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE from the environment, or something like that, which apparently doesn't happen if the .desktop file starts it as root
[14:43] <Riddell> pitti: what is that needed for?
[14:43] * bluefoxicy sets his computer to install the new beta; he runs -proposed, he might as well run an 8-days-from-release candidate.
[14:43] <mvo> pitti: dosn't sudo do that (clean the environment from everything it does not know about) - or is that key added to the exceptions?
[14:43] <pitti> Riddell: usually it's the session program's cookie to get PolicyKit privileges f
[14:44] <pitti> Riddell: I don't really see why you'd need it if the program is already running as root
[14:44] <Mirv> cjwatson: ok, created a new bug for language-selector (bug 287556)
[14:44] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 287556 in language-selector "Post-installation note translations not shown" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287556
[14:44] <pitti> Riddell: but maybe PK/CK insist on it, and I don't really see what other difference kdesudo could make
[14:45] <pitti> mvo: no, it kills it as well
[14:45] <pitti> mvo: but on Ubuntu we have policykit-gnome, so we don't need to run it as root in the first place
[14:45] <pitti> so far it's really just one possible explanation
[14:49] <mvo> cjwatson: I have a look at #287556 next, I'm hacking on l-s anyway right now
[14:49] <cjwatson> ok
[14:49] <cjwatson> I sort of suspect it's in update-notifier rather than language-selector but ICBW
[14:50] <mvo> cjwatson: I kind of suspect that too, but I will double check
[14:50] <mvo> hm, I wonder why the "details" expander in language-selector is expanded by default
[14:52] <Mirv> mvo: probably a bug, too. it makes the actual list height very small.
[14:53] <dholbach> mathiaz: haha :)
[14:53] <\sh> cjwatson: did you see the behaviour, that the linux-image post-install wants to write the UUID of / into menu.lst instead of /boot UID? I did a reinstall of my system this morning with the latest beta alternate image, and it was unbootable

[15:00] <cjwatson> stgraber: quick reproduction path?

[15:00] <cjwatson> oh, hang on, that's a different message

[15:01] <stgraber> mvo, cjwatson: What I did is: Install OEM in english using the latest Desktop, then in the oem assistant, choose french, open the session and enable the langpack in language-selector (it wasn't installed by the oem assistant)
[15:01] <cjwatson> I'll go fix it in update-notifier too
[15:03] <kirkland> pitti: use fdisk when you have the entire disk attached to /dev/loop0 to find out the offset of the partition you want, then use that offset with losetup -o52428800 /dev/loop1 foo.img
[15:04] <pitti> kirkland: oh, nice, thanks
[15:04] <pitti> kirkland: it seemed odd to me that kvm images were almost, but not quite, mountable
[15:04] <kirkland> pitti: :-)
[15:04] <kirkland> pitti: yeah, the above is slightly klunky
[15:04] <liw> pitti, you may want to look at kpartx (in package of the same name)
[15:05] <kirkland> pitti: i wouldn't be surprised if someone in #ubuntu-virt has a better method

[15:05] <kirkland> pitti: but that's worked for me in the past, and i use it infrequently enough that i haven't gone looking for something else
[15:05] <pitti> kirkland: ^ so for that this would be 37*512 or so?
[15:06] <kirkland> pitti: exactly
[15:06] <kirkland> pitti: i just googled and came across this, with a bit more explanation: http://www.docunext.com/blog/2007/07/08/losetup-working-with-raw-disk-images/
[15:06] <pitti> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[15:06] <pitti> hm, maybe not
[15:06] <kirkland> pitti: what's your units set to?
[15:07] <liw> kpartx does all the setup automatically, to allow you to mount the partitions in a kvm image (raw image file format)
[15:07] <stgraber> mvo, cjwatson: Do we have a bug about it or should I file a new one (and if yes, against what package ?) ?
[15:07] <kirkland> pitti: can you pastebin your fdisk -l for me?
[15:07] <pitti> kirkland: ah, that article is exactly my problem, too
[15:07] <pitti> kirkland: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61007/
[15:08] <pitti> kirkland: I actually just wanted to get two small text files into that kvm instance
[15:08] <mvo> Riddell: does kubuntu has something list "install-apckage update" ?
[15:08] <liw> pitti, http://files.liw.fi/temp/qemu-minimize has an example (that might still work) for how to use kpartx
[15:08] <pitti> kirkland: first I tried to set up the pan0 interface, which didn't actually work, second I tried that "mount image" approach, and when I got stuck at that as well, I just typed the files by hand
[15:09] <cjwatson> oh, it is in language-selector, I'm just stupid
[15:09] <cjwatson> stgraber: please file it on language-selector so it can be marked release-critical
[15:09] <stgraber> ok
[15:10] <Riddell> mvo: yes, kdesudo install-package --update

[15:53] <Riddell> tkamppeter: hi
[15:53] <NCommander> seb128, attacking my inbox, getting ready for the Xubuntu RC testing, and then attending a memorial service
[15:54] <tkamppeter> Riddell, can you add yourself as bug contact for system-config-printer-kde? You have written it, so for you it should be easiest to fix bugs in it.
[15:55] <Riddell> tkamppeter: "Subscribe to bug mail"?
[15:55] <tkamppeter> Riddell, I think so.

[15:56] <Riddell> tkamppeter: I've subscribed me and kubuntu-bugs
[15:56] <tkamppeter> Riddell, OK, thank you.
[15:59] <tseliot> Riddell: your xorg.conf looks good. It might be the same bug
[16:00] <tseliot> Riddell: oh and did jockey work as expected?
[16:04] <Riddell> tseliot: no, since I can't log in to X :(

[16:06] <tseliot> Riddell: does it help if you comment out the whole ServerLayout section in your xorg.conf?
[16:06] <jcristau> Riddell: looks like hal doesn't list any input devices. what does lshal say?
[16:09] <Riddell> tseliot: no
[16:10] <ogra> is hal even running ?
[16:10] <Riddell> ogra: yes
[16:10] <jcristau> ogra: if hal isn't running that usually shows up in the log
[16:10] <ogra> ah
[16:10] <Riddell> jcristau: http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/xorg/LSHAL
[16:11] <ogra> i didnt know X became that intelligent :)
[16:11] <jcristau> hrm. no x11_driver property anywhere.
[16:11] <doko> jcristau, bryce: when do you plan to upload the fix for #281610 (wanting to know if I should delay a openjdk-6 upload)
[16:12] <tseliot> Riddell: can you try this xorg.conf? http://pastebin.com/m7c7113d
[16:12] <ogra> does /etc/default/console-setup exist ?
[16:12] <jcristau> doko: debian not affected, so not my bug :)
[16:13] <ogra> (and have XKB variables set)
[16:13] <jcristau> the xkb stuff shows up, just not x11_driver..
[16:13] <ogra> oh, wait, right
[16:14] <Riddell> tseliot: what's the plain url for that?
[16:15] <Riddell> ogra: yes (if you're talking to me)
[16:15] <tseliot> Riddell: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m7c7113d
[16:15] <ogra> Riddell, i was, but as jcristau pointed out, hal sets them, i missed that
[16:16] <tjaalton> doko: would need a confirmation first that it works
[16:16] <tjaalton> doko: probably after RC
[16:16] <tjaalton> bryce: ^^
[16:19] <Riddell> tseliot: yay, that works
[16:19] <tseliot> Riddell: great :-)
[16:20] <jcristau> that's not a fix though. something hal is broken
[16:20] <Riddell> strange how this only happens on upgrades and not on new installs
[16:20] <Riddell> and only with this machine
[16:20] <Riddell> tseliot: so, what was I to test with jockey?
[16:21] <tseliot> Riddell: can you modify the .desktop file of jockey-kde according to what is in the diff (only the lines in green) and see if you can reproduce the problem with the wirless driver? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jockey-hackers/jockey/trunk/revision/496
[16:21] <tseliot> jcristau: yes, I know. I wanted to give him his keyboard and mouse back ;)
[16:22] <jcristau> fair enough :)
[16:22] <tseliot> Riddell: we transition users to the new input hotplug (which is supposed to work) during dist-upgrades
[16:24] <Mirv> mvo: after fresh install from today morning's build with no network connection, all english, locale says fi_FI.UTF-8 for all
[16:25] <Mirv> mvo: and to the previous question, 135752 and 277526, now combined, are about lack of apt-get update plus not offering installing support for the default language, 287556 is this new bug about non-localized note
[16:25] <Mirv> mvo: the strings are all there in the .note file, though
[16:26] <Mirv> mvo: is it perhaps because 0.3.15 has eg. "Name-de.UTF-8" instead of "Name-de_DE.UTF-8"?
[16:31] <mvo> Mirv: I check, but I got a german translation on a non-networked install. but I will double check
[16:32] <Mirv> mvo: can I trigger the note somehow myself after first clicking it away?
[16:32] <Riddell> tseliot: adding that change to the jockey-kde.desktop file I start jockey thruogh the applications menu and I can install and uninstall drivers
[16:32] <Riddell> tseliot: yay :)
[16:32] <pitti> rocking
[16:32] <mvo> Mirv: yes, please run sudo touch /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/* ; sudo touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp
[16:33] <pitti> Riddell, tseliot: so it seems the .desktop fix is the only thing we need then?
[16:33] <pitti> I'll upload that now
[16:33] <tseliot> pitti: yep
[16:33] <tseliot> Riddell: thanks for testing the fix
[16:33] <Riddell> tseliot: thanks for fixing
[16:35] <tseliot> ;)
[16:35] <mvo> Mirv: that was a install with the desktop or the alternate disk (I don't think it makes a difference, but I want to be sure)
[16:36] * ogra curses ... ok, that starts getting annoying ... evo asked the fifth time for the passwprd now
[16:36] <Mirv> mvo: yeah, still English. desktop CD, in virtualbox.
[16:36] <pitti> Riddell: uploaded, waiting in unapproved now
[16:37] * tseliot thinks that ogra should switch to kmail
[16:37] <ogra> tseliot, haha
[16:37] <pitti> mutt FTW!
[16:37] <Mirv> mvo: might there be some part of German support on the CD that enables slightly more? like, if one goes to language selector, Finnish is selected as the "Default Language" even though only English is listed at all in the Supported Languages above
[16:37] <tseliot> ogra: it what I did ;)
[16:37] <superm1> ogra, didn't I lobby well for you switching to tbird after I told you about those extensions?
[16:37] <ogra> well, i'D rather have evo behaving instead of switching
[16:38] <ogra> but having to type my PW ten times a day just gets to annoying
[16:38] <sebner> ogra: what about TB?
[16:38] <ogra> sebner, that would be my second choice after evo
[16:38] <tseliot> ogra: ok, pay someone to type in the password for you then? :-P
[16:39] <ogra> tseliot, i'm not so good in writing up NDAs ;P
[16:39] <seb128> use gnome-keyring?
[16:39] <sebner> ogra: for me it's my first choice before evo but anyhow. good boy :)
[16:39] <ogra> seb128, isnt that used by default ?
[16:39] <seb128> right and it makes you unlock the gnome-keyring and not enter passwords again
[16:40] <ogra> seb128, i never changed anything in my evo setup ... and always used g-keyring
[16:40] <seb128> and it asks you for password?
[16:40] <ogra> but since about two weeks its constantly asking for my pop PW
[16:41] <ogra> just popped up *again*
[16:41] <seb128> run seahorse, go to edit, preferences and see what keyrings are available and what is the default one
[16:41] <seb128> did it ever store it? or it asks every time?
[16:41] <seb128> is your server not reliable?
[16:41] <ogra> its gmail
[16:41] <mvo> the new ubiquity partition manager gui is pretty nice, but not the most friendly to color blind (or partially color blind) people
[16:41] <ogra> should be reliable enough
[16:41] <ogra> and it didnt do that before
[16:41] <ogra> unless google changed something recently the server should be fine
[16:42] <seb128> mvo: you still have the lists which is text only ;-)

[16:43] <seb128> mvo: or that's the colors choice?
[16:43] <seb128> ogra: do you have several keyrings listed?
[16:44] <seb128> ogra: it could be trying to store it or read it in the wrong keyring
[16:44] <jdstrand> slangasek: it's a one liner (debdiff in bug) and likely important for ISO testing SMP
[16:44] <mvo> seb128: the color choices are not ideal, the second and third are too close for me, something in the color (e.g. a shape) would help
[16:44] <mvo> gnuplot gets this tright for example with the different shapes for the points
[16:44] <ogra> seb128, it shows my gpg key and my ssh key in the first tab in seahorse ... my gpg key has two subkeys
[16:45] <seb128> ogra: don't bother about those
[16:45] <seb128> mvo: I see
[16:45] <ogra> where do i look then ?
[16:45] <seb128> ogra: edit, preferences, the tab lists what keyring?
[16:46] <ogra> login ??
[16:46] <ogra> nothing else in there
[16:47] <seb128> ok, that's not a "store in the wrong keyring" issue then
[16:47] <ogra> i dont see anything evo related in the passwords tab though
[16:47] <seb128> you should open a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org, or ask on #evolution on the GNOME irc
[16:47] <seb128> that's weird
[16:47] <seb128> your passwords should be there

[19:35] <bryce> Riddell: have a link to the patch or the bug it fixed?
[19:35] <bryce> sounds like it just needs to be changed to a name other than 'delete'
[19:35] <tjaalton> Riddell: no commits to inputproto

[19:41] <tjaalton> why?
[19:43] <bryce> tjaalton: well we'll need to fix anything that's using that delete structure member as well
[19:44] <tjaalton> ok
[19:45] <bryce> Riddell: can you give some more detail about where this issue cropped up?
[19:45] <liw> surely the right fix is to rename the field for all users, not just c++ code?
[19:46] <bryce> liw, that would be my idea as well, which is why I said this was an icky hack
[19:47] <bryce> but I understand why they did it this way - if it gets changed, then we have to rebuild everything that uses it
[19:47] <bryce> I wish upstream had put in a cleaner fix
[19:48] <Riddell> bryce: someone was compiling qt 4.5
[19:48] <liw> I wish C++ hadn't invented a new keyword ;-)
[19:49] <bryce> liw, when we converted inkscape to C++ we had a whole mess of issues like this
[19:50] <bryce> objects had a "class" member we had to change to "klass" throughout
[19:50] <jcristau> liw: rename for all users -> change users
[19:50] <jcristau> liw: rename for C++ -> no change for existing users
[19:50] <liw> bryce, yeah... either no new keywords should be added, or keywords should be in a namespace of their own... one language I know used all-uppercase for keywords and forbade that for user symbols
[19:50] <liw> jcristau, I realize that, but it's still a kludge
[19:52] <jcristau> (admittedly, for something like GetDeviceProperty that's never been released, changing it for everyone might have been better)
[19:55] <pitti> liw: invented a new keyword> has it? new and delete are in C++ for ... ever
[19:55] <liw> pitti, compared to C, it did invent them; C still doesn't have those keywords, so they're new to many C programmers
[19:55] <pitti> liw: right, but then you compare two different languages
[19:56] <pitti> that's not really a fair complaint :)
[19:56] <persia> pitti, Except that C++ permits #include of C headers, rather than expecting bindings as do most languages.
[19:56] <persia> So it's potentially buggy for any C programmer to write headers that aren't also C++ compliant.
[19:57] <pitti> I thought that's why you should wrap them into some namespace "C" thingy?
[19:57] <liw> and unless said C programmer _knows_ C++, they can't know they're breaking C++ inclusion
[19:57] <liw> pitti, it doesn't provide a full C compatibility; keywords is one example where it breaks
[19:58] <pitti> that's true, yes
[19:58] <superm1> pitti, can you nuke fglrx-installer_8.543-0ubuntu4.dsc from unapproved? Someone just responded to another bug that we can squeeze a fix into, so I'll just add it and redo the upload?

[20:01] <slangasek> jdstrand: "ISO testing SMP"?
[20:01] <jdstrand> slangasek: yes. virt-manager won't let you specify more than 1 VCPU in the guest when using kvm
[20:02] <liw> jdstrand, oh?
[20:02] <jdstrand> slangasek: I tend to do 2 CPUs in the guest, for variety when doing ISO testing
[20:02] <slangasek> jdstrand: accepting libvirt implies a respin of ubuntu-server; are there testing resources available in the server team to give us full test coverage in the next 8 hours or so if we do that?
[20:02] <jdstrand> slangasek: so I upped it to 16, since that is what our version of kvm can support

[20:03] <liw> oh, it really doesn't
[20:04] <jdstrand> slangasek: I figured getting it into the archive and then have it be on the next CD would be enough...
[20:04] <jdstrand> slangasek: but I don't allocate resources, or respin the CDs, which is why I came to you directly ;)
[20:08] <slangasek> jdstrand: we prefer to keep the skew between the CDs and the archive to a minimum at the point of the RC
[20:09] * jdstrand nods
[20:10] <slangasek> so I'd prefer to not accept this until after the RC, really

[21:28] <sbeattie> Riddell|pitti: is there an obvious way to test that one?
[21:28] <james_w> pitti: I think the bug would be good to fix, my only concerns are that I am way out of my comfort zone and there has been no upstream review.

[23:06] <lfaraone> ?
[23:06] <persia> Yes. Every milestone image (Alpha, Beta, RC) gets a couple days of testing to make sure that it isn't completely broken, and is a good basis for widespread testing.
[23:07] <lfaraone> persia: (By that, we're supposed to be showing off the best that free software / formats / ubuntu can offer)
[23:07] <persia> There's a daily image every day, but depending on the state of the archives, it might not boot, or not install, or not run X, etc. By not uploading for a couple days, we can make sure that we have something worthy of testing.

[23:10] <lfaraone> persia: kk. How do I go about doing that?
[23:11] <persia> lfaraone, Actually, I'm not sure who would be the best person to represent a candidate example-content fix to the release team. Maybe calc who seems to be contemplating another change to the same pacakge (and who you've already notified)

[23:34] <cjwatson> gosh. OK, I'll investigate, thanks
[23:34] <calc> gave me the same no partitions found as with the lvm one
[23:34] <slangasek> kirkland: expect is on mythbuntu
[23:34] <slangasek> :)
[23:34] <kirkland> slangasek: ;-) but not on the server?
[23:34] <slangasek> nope - there's pexpect there, but not expect
[23:35] <kirkland> slangasek: interesting, thanks.
[23:35] <calc> cjwatson: and fdisk -l shows the partitions
[23:35] <superm1> kirkland, you expecting to be breaking expect?
[23:35] <cjwatson> yeah, it doesn't use fdisk though
[23:35] <calc> cjwatson: ok, just stating that it is actually there although it doesn't see them
[23:35] <kirkland> superm1: :-) no, i was considering adding a dependency on it
[23:35] <cjwatson> calc: what does 'list-devices partition' say?
[23:36] <calc> nothing
[23:36] <superm1> kirkland, what dependency?
[23:36] <cjwatson> that'll be it then. Wonder what that's about
[23:36] <kirkland> superm1: there have been multiple people that have run ecryptfs-setup-private, and entered their login passphrase wrong. twice.
[23:37] <calc> cjwatson: this is being tested on vmware 6.5, not sure if that will matter in the debugging
[23:37] <kirkland> superm1: i need a method to verify their passphrase is correct. unix_chkpwd seems to be it, but it's proving more difficult to implement that i'd have though.
[23:37] <cjwatson> calc: I'll let you know if I can't reproduce it
[23:37] <calc> ok
[23:37] <kirkland> superm1: so i have about 5 lines of expect code that takes their input password and tries to su to themself and run /bin/true
[23:38] <calc> cjwatson: feel free to call me on my cell if i'm not around and you need more debugging
[23:38] <cjwatson> ok
[23:38] <calc> cjwatson: i may eat dinner in the next hour or so
[23:38] <cjwatson> thanks
[23:38] <superm1> kirkland, yeah it's a really nifty little tool
[23:38] <kirkland> superm1: however, you just triggered a light bulb..........
[23:38] <kirkland> superm1: what is?
[23:38] <kirkland> superm1: expect?
[23:38] <superm1> expect
[23:39] <calc> cjwatson: i'm going to just redescribe my current rescue bug since it seems more general than i originally filed
[23:39] <cjwatson> fine
[23:40] <calc> list-devices disk outputs nothing as well
[23:40] <calc> cd works
[23:40] <calc> i think the others don't apply for my test vm
[23:41] <calc> list-devices usb-partition works when i stick a thumb drive in
[23:42] <calc> and list-devices partition also shows the usb thumb drive too (not sure if that is supposed to happen)
[23:42] <cjwatson> basically seems to indicate that your disk driver isn't loaded
[23:42] <calc> and disk shows the thumb drive
[23:43] <calc> cjwatson: erm wouldn't that cause it to not show up in fdisk -l though if the kernel driver wasn't loaded?
[23:43] <calc> or do you mean some other sort of driver
[23:44] <sbeattie> pitti: when I try to run sudo in the guest session, I'm getting an apparmor rejection on capable for Xsession's profile
[23:45] <sbeattie> I'm not sure it's a bug or intended behavior that guest session stuff can't run setuid programs.
[23:48] <cjwatson> calc: well, you'd think so ... list-devices just looks in /sys/block/ basically
[23:48] <calc> yea
[23:48] <calc> i'm looking in the script to see if i can determine what is wrong
[23:49] <cjwatson> list-devices partition is really just a reformatting of ls /sys/block/*/*
[23:49] <cjwatson> well, ish
[23:49] <calc> well the sda1 etc are there in sys
[23:50] <cjwatson> it does do filtering obviously
[23:50] <calc> if i understand it is looking for /sys/block/sda/sda1/sys ?
[23:50] <calc> or maybe i am misreading this code
[23:50] <cjwatson> try 'udevadm info -q env -p /block/sda/sda1'
[23:50] <cjwatson> and look for ID_TYPE
[23:51] <calc> udevadm unknown command
[23:51] <cjwatson> !
[23:51] <ogra> woah
[23:51] <calc> its there but it returns that as the response
[23:51] <cjwatson> seriously? udevadm is in the d-i base system
[23:51] <calc> i even tried /sbin/udevadm -q env -p /block/sda/sda1
[23:52] <cjwatson> udevadm info
[23:52] <cjwatson> ass I said above :)
[23:52] <cjwatson> as
[23:52] <calc> anything after the info?
[23:52] <cjwatson> 23:50 <cjwatson> try 'udevadm info -q env -p /block/sda/sda1'
[23:52] <calc> ah ok
[23:53] <calc> that works
[23:53] <calc> should i capture that for the bug report?
[23:53] <calc> udevinfo outputs the same info
[23:54] <cjwatson> udevinfo == udevadm info except for the way it's obsolete
[23:54] <cjwatson> sure
[23:55] <calc> ok
[23:56] <calc> done
[23:58] <calc> hmm there is no ID_TYPE
