| [12:42] <mdz> Ng: if you're certain that you are correct about it being a duplicate, then it is very helpful for you to mark it | |
| [12:42] <Ng> mdz: ok, I'll make sure I check it thoroughly | |
| [12:42] <Ng> thanks | |
| [12:43] <mdz> Ng: if you are unsure, then feel free to comment | |
| [12:43] <mdz> and someone will review and confirm | |
| [12:43] <Ng> ok, cool :) | |
| [12:44] <Ng> is there policy yet about modifying things to use gksudo/sudo? e.g. gnome-system-tools uses su, but appears to be easily modifyable to use sudo su as a quick hack. would that be frowned upon? | |
| === jdahlin [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [12:46] <jdub> Ng: our g-s-t uses gksudo | |
| [12:47] <mdz> Ng: things which use su in the Ubuntu desktop are bugs | |
| [12:47] <Ng> jdub: the desktop entries do, but you can make it use internal routines that call su, e.g. the "Configure" button in Applications->System->Network Tool | |
| [12:47] <mdz> Ng: that bug is already reported (twice) | |
| [12:48] <jdub> oh, that's a different module | |
| [12:48] <jdub> and it is bad that it wasn't fixed | |
| [12:48] <jdub> but i don't think anyone realised that was in the new version | |
| [12:48] <Ng> mdz: I know, fessing up, I didn't actually wait for your answer before marking the duplicate ;) | |
| [12:48] <Ng> and I'm part way to a patch for it | |
| [12:49] <mdz> if it's a simple and safe fix, that'd be a good candidate for warty-updates | |
| [12:50] <jdub> mdz: would we consider it 'high-impact', 'dataloss' or 'security'? | |
| [12:50] <Ng> it is looking like it'll be pretty simple, I'm just tying what is mostly a one liner into autoconf. the only snag I have hit is that there is a string that says "root password" that could use rewording and thus translation :/ | |
| [12:50] <jdub> it uses it's own su foo? | |
| [12:51] <mdz> jdub: given that two people have run into it already, apparently it's functionality in the desktop that people use, it's broken, and there's a trivial fix | |
| [12:51] <Ng> jdub: it spawns a pty, runs su and the module with it, feeding it the pw | |
| [12:51] <mdz> ok, maybe not so trivial :-) | |
| [12:51] <Ng> src/common/gst-auth.c (last function) | |
| [12:51] <jdub> i *hate* that | |
| === jdub is reminded to add permissions elevation to HH | |
| [12:52] <Ng> it seems to work just making the su_args array one larger by putting sudo as arg[0] :) | |
| [12:52] <gma> I'm curious about the development model. Do all developers work for canonical, or are you globally distributed? | |
| [12:52] <jdub> gma: all the developers on warty work for canonical, *and* are globally distributed :-) | |
| [12:52] <Ng> I'm currently arguing with dpkg-buildpackage though ;) | |
| [12:52] <jdub> gma: but now there are heaps of community members helping out | |
| [12:52] <gma> cool. | |
| [12:52] <jdub> Ng: hrm, might want to check if they copied code from gnome-system-monitor | |
| [12:52] <gma> are canonical open to applications? | |
| [12:52] <jdub> Ng: daniels fixed that | |
| [12:53] <Ng> jdub: ooh, cool | |

| [12:56] <mdz> jdub: what about permissions elevation? | |
| [12:56] <jdub> attempting to standardise on something | |
| [12:59] <Ng> jdub: it looks similar, but not close enough to just yoink the code over :( | |
| [12:59] <Ng> I'd say they have a common origin, but the g-s-t one is split up more so it can do ssh auth too | |

| [01:19] <doogie> btopenworld? does that mean they use opensource? :) | |
| [01:20] <Ng> probably not ;) | |
| [01:20] <jdub> morning elmo_ | |
| [01:20] <Ng> BT like things that are slow and bad and expensive ;) | |
| [01:21] <Ng> argh | |
| [01:21] <elmo_> hey jdub | |
| [01:22] <Ng> the gnome-system-tools configure script is telling me I need intltool 0.29 or later, but I just installed ubuntu's, which is 0.31 or something. any ideas? | |
| [01:22] <Ng> if I can just make the thing compile I think my patch is done and trivial enough to be safe | |
| [01:24] <Ng> aha, the source package was missing a file or I didn't run enough auto* stuff | |
| [01:25] <__daniel> Ng, what version of g-s-t did you try to ./configure ? | |
| [01:26] <Ng> __daniel: 1.0.0-0ubuntu7 | |
| [01:27] <Ng> I just apt-get source'd it, changed configure.in and a .c file and dpkg-buildpackage'd it | |
| [01:27] <__daniel> Ng, that's strange: "apt-get source gnome-system-tools; cd gnome-system*; ./configure" ran fine at my place | |
| [01:27] <Ng> I did change a string in a glade file too, so that and/or the configure.in change probably needed auto* to run more things | |
| [01:28] <Ng> I had to copy intltool-update.in from intltool's install directory to the "backends" directory in g-s-t | |
| [01:28] <Ng> it could easily be my mistake though, it's probably a couple of years since I last did any of this ;) | |
| [01:29] <__daniel> i don't get why they don't have a proper autogen.sh | |
| [01:32] <Ng> *shrug* :) | |
| === Ng sticks his patch in bugzilla, hopefully the first of many :) | |
| [01:34] <Ng> g-s-t isn't going to work doing remote module without further patching though | |
| [01:35] <Ng> well, if the target machine is ubuntu at least | |
| [01:35] <Ng> since it ssh's as root :/ | |
| [01:37] <__daniel> Ng, ssh-as-root should never really be an option in a program | |
| [01:37] <Ng> well it isn't a great idea to spawn a pty and use it to run su to get root, but they do ;) | |
| [01:42] <jdub> ugh | |
| [01:42] <jdub> ok | |
| [01:42] <jdub> totally have to figure otu sound on this machine | |
| [01:46] <sabdfl> lamont: live cd -16 seems to have solved the "see-through desktop" issue on the tosh | |
| [01:59] <mjg59> Oh, wow | |
| [01:59] <mjg59> lamont's been flamed on Advogato | |
| [02:01] <kylem> it's a valid point. | |
| === lupus_ [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [02:06] <jdub> so what are some of our "all the drivers work but there's no audio output" solutions? | |
| [02:06] <jdub> parallel port is disabled in bios, and modules are not loaded | |
| [02:06] <jdub> audio definitely worked with early ubuntu kernels | |
| [02:12] <mjg59> Is the hardware unmuted? | |
| [02:12] <jdub> yes | |
| [02:13] <jdub> done by ubuntu by default | |
| [02:15] <mjg59> On all channels? | |
| [02:16] <mjg59> Is there a hardware mixer? | |
| [02:17] <jdub> no | |
| [02:20] <mjg59> If you try to play something, does the interrupt number in /proc/interrupts increase? | |
| [02:22] <jdub> yes | |
| [02:22] <mjg59> Any messages in dmesg? | |
| [02:23] <jdub> 130 -> 248 that time ;) | |
| [02:23] <mjg59> Sounds like it's either a mixer issue or you've managed to get two sound drivers loaded... | |
| [02:24] <jdub> there's only the first device's stuff under /dev/snd | |
| [02:24] <mjg59> Hrm. | |
| [02:24] <mjg59> And lsmod only shows one snd-something driver loaded? | |
| [02:24] <jdub> one module in /proc/asound/modules | |
| [02:25] <jdub> no, there's heaps | |
| [02:25] <jdub> but actual drivers could include snd_bt87x | |
| [02:26] <jdub> removed, still the same | |
| [02:26] <mjg59> Uh. bt87x sounds a touch worrying. | |
| [02:26] <jdub> (this machine has a dvb card in it) | |
| [02:26] <mjg59> Yeah | |
| [02:26] <Ng> I've had problems with hotplug loading snd_bt87x before snd_emu10k1 and breaking sound | |
| [02:26] <mjg59> I'd worry that that might have presented a mixer device, and then the wrong stuff may have been loaded | |
| [02:26] <lupus_> what idem Ng | |
| [02:27] <lupus_> idem | |
| [02:27] <lupus_> I mean :) | |
| [02:27] <jdub> i'll try loading snd_intel8x0 in /etc/modules | |
| [02:27] <mjg59> If you remove and then reinsert the correct module and then check the mixer, what does it look like? | |
| [02:27] <mjg59> Ok, that works too :) | |
| [02:27] <Ng> lupus_: eh? ;) | |
| === jdub did not realise that distrowatch was seen as a big deal | |
| [02:28] <lupus_> ng I mean bttv also broke my sound because it is loaded before the soundcard | |
| [02:28] <Ng> ah :) | |
| [02:28] <Ng> I only had that with debian, for some reason ubuntu gets it right | |
| [02:29] <Ng> I thought it was dependant on PCI ordering because it's hotplug doing it and it works in bus order | |
| [02:29] <lupus_> A friend of my was complaining the other day that he couldn't switch between his 2 soundcards for sound | |
| [02:29] <lupus_> a tool that could do this would also fix this issue :) | |
| [02:30] <jdub> yeah | |
| [02:30] <lupus_> and should be possible on the fly without rebooting :) | |

| [04:50] <tseng> but im hardly offended by someone refering to a bug #, as a gentoo dev we did that all the time | |
| [04:50] <lamont> heh | |
| [04:51] <lamont> that one was basically one of me going, "well, that one's definitely fixed by now." And there are probably others | |
| [04:51] <tseng> make a keybinding that pipes xclip -out, containing the bug number to the end of a bugzilla search query, and send it to the brower | |
| [04:51] <tseng> "5 minutes" becomes a fraction of a second | |

| [04:57] <daniels> interesting. only 2 peers on BT for i386, and I haven't served a single powerpc or amd64 torrent; contrast with pushing 1.5MB/s (bytes, not bits) for the preview | |

| [05:34] <chrisa> hrm, is there a sane way to completely upgrade a sid system to ubuntu? | |
| [05:36] <bob2> you can use pinning. | |
| [05:36] <lamont> chrisa: apt doesn't consider it a true upgrade | |
| [05:36] <bob2> but it's kinda dodgy. | |
| [05:36] <justdave> back up the important stuff, wipe it out, and install from a CD? sid has newer versions than a lot of what's in Ubuntu. It'll be messy. | |
| [05:36] <lamont> since some packages are newer (higher version) in sid than in warty, and vice versa | |
| [05:36] <chrisa> lamont: Right, I've noticed (due to various epochs and version numbers) | |
| [05:37] <justdave> if you want to go that route, it might be safer to wait until Hoary opens for development, and update from the development repository. | |
| [05:37] <justdave> (it'll be a more-recent snapshot of sid, and not frozen yet) | |
| [05:38] <lamont> chrisa: sadly, it's completey unsupportable. woody->warty, no problem. sarge/sid from before 2004-06-28, should be no problem. sarge/sid from after that, install, or go the masochistic route first, and eventually probably do the install anyway | |
| [05:38] <lamont> or wait for hoary to open | |
| [05:38] <chrisa> lamont: I realize that, I'm just experimenting on a sid box I'm not concerned with for fun really | |
| [05:39] <kylem> heh, force downgrade to <2004-06-28 via snapshot.d.n, and upgrade? ;=) | |
| [05:39] <chrisa> I wouldn't do this on a serious system | |

| [05:53] <fabbione> lamont: i don't have any firmware based card.. sorry | |
| [05:54] <fabbione> elmo_: already up? | |
| [05:54] <fabbione> or you didn't go to sleep yet? | |
| [05:55] <lamont> elmo_: not sure - I can poke someone tomorrow to see what version they have | |
| [05:56] <jdub> lamont: do you have the grub.conf for the livecd? | |
| [05:56] <lamont> jdub: I expect so.. let me go look | |
| [05:56] <jdub> lamont: or know if it grub itself is modified in any way? | |
| === vorlon was actually wondering why Warty didn't use ifplugd, and I guess breaking things would be a good reason. ;) | |
| [05:58] <jdub> lamont: oh | |
| [05:58] <jdub> lamont: hold on, it's using gfxboot fork | |
| [05:58] <elmo_> fabbione: not slept yet | |
| [05:58] <elmo_> lamont: cool thanks | |
| [05:58] <lamont> jdub: yes - gfxboot-grub | |
| [05:59] <lamont> elmo_: what version firmware do you have? | |
| [05:59] <lamont> and 350, I assume? | |
| [05:59] <elmo_> Firmware Version: 5.02.19 | |
| [05:59] <lamont> jdub: I have the complete gfxboot-grub tree that built the package, if that helps... | |
| [05:59] <elmo_> yeah, 360 | |
| [05:59] <elmo_> err 350 | |
| [05:59] <lamont> 360? | |
| [05:59] <lamont> ok | |
| [06:01] <daniels> vorlon: yeah, it bonged up my interface | |

| [07:16] <jdub> heh, nice | |
| [07:19] <lamont> all of main, and a little bit of universe. binary and source | |
| [07:19] <lamont> basically, my full mirror + the udebs | |
| [07:19] <lamont> must kill d-i for not dealing well with having Packages.gz instead of Packages.... | |
| [07:20] <lamont> this'll be interesting... burning a dvd+rw and a cd-rw at the same time... cdrw drive is slave on the bus with the DVD... | |
| [07:21] <lamont> burning home edition | |
| [07:21] <jdub> have we disabled uploads yet? | |
| [07:22] <lamont> pretty sure | |
| [07:22] <jdub> should probably do it soon | |
| [07:22] <jdub> cool | |
| [07:22] <lamont> was talk of allowing uploads to fix previously-ftbfs packages in universe/multiverse, and I need to upload a new mplayer to multiverse once I'm done with livecd.. | |
| [07:22] <jdub> yeah | |
| [07:22] <lamont> right now, it works for anyone with a Xeon, and no one else.:-( | |
| [07:23] <jdub> ouch | |
| [07:23] <lamont> I gave it about 2 minutes today, but that attempt was FTBFS | |
| [07:23] <lamont> basically, it built customized for the buildd hardware, instead of runtime cpu detection | |
| [07:23] <lamont> dvd write went from 2.4x to 0.6x :-( | |
| [07:24] <lamont> otoh, pio-based cdrw write is chunking along quite happily | |

| [07:31] <jdub> lamont: kinda | |
| [07:31] <lamont> ok | |
| [07:31] <jdub> lamont: not as cute as...? how can i make it better? | |

| [09:47] <fabbione> nice | |
| [09:49] <pitti> Hi thom | |
| [09:50] <pitti> hi fabbione | |
| [09:51] <fabbione> hey pitti | |
| [09:51] <pitti> fabbione: been at a release party as well? In some LUG? | |
| [09:51] <pitti> Gosh, this thing gets longer and longer | |
| [09:52] <fabbione> pitti: no.. at home sandpapering walls and taking away 20 huge plastic bags of trash from the works | |
| [09:52] <pitti> I mean the channel subject :-) | |
| [09:52] <pitti> fabbione: oh, sounds like exactly the right thing to do after an exhausting release day :-) | |
| [09:52] <fabbione> pitti: of course | |
| [09:52] <pitti> thom: since elmo is not yet here, do you happen to know how and whether the security upload queues work? | |
| [09:53] <thom> fraid not dude | |
| [09:53] <pitti> I just saw that DSA 570-1 and 571-1 are unapplied in Warty | |
| [09:53] <fabbione> pitti: elmo was working on it | |
| [09:53] <fabbione> pitti: i have the packages read for these 2 already | |
| [09:53] <fabbione> pitti: so don't worry | |
| [09:53] <pitti> fabbione: oh fine, I already wanted to prepare some :-) | |
| [09:54] <fabbione> pitti: mdz and I coordinated a while ago | |
| [09:54] <fabbione> before the sec team election | |
| [09:54] <pitti> okay, fine | |
| [09:54] <pitti> then I can throttle my nerves again | |
| [09:54] <fabbione> eheh | |
| [09:54] <pitti> and let my head continue to ache :-/ | |
| [09:54] <fabbione> i need to go back to X.org | |
| [09:54] <fabbione> THIS SOURCE IS SO FUCKING INCONSISTENT! | |
| === pitti does not like to get up at 6 o'clock | |
| [09:54] <pitti> fabbione: oh, speaking of headaches... :-) | |
| [09:55] <pitti> sometimes I already thought that rewriting X from scratch might be faster :-) | |
| [09:55] <pitti> writing some nice drivers to speed up the framebuffer and basically use this :-) </dream> | |
| [09:56] <pitti> fabbione: anyway, I cross my fingers that you and daniel tame the beast | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> pitti: the problem is not the beast itself | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> it's splitting the beast | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> and forward-porting the patches we have | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> to get it to build | |
| [09:59] <pitti> fabbione: I'm curious. Didn't the fd.o version already split components? | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> next step is manage to put everything into nice little tiny debian pacakges | |
| [09:59] <pitti> or was that X.org? | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> pitti: no | |
| [09:59] <fabbione> that's only daniels | |
| [10:00] <fabbione> X.org is still monolitich | |
| [10:00] <pitti> I thought there wer already efforts in this direction | |
| [10:00] <fabbione> and i am going to CRACK IT | |
| === pitti gives fabbione a huge hammer | |
| [10:00] <fabbione> 'C0Z I 4M 4 L33T H4CK35 | |
| [10:00] <pitti> so "crack of the day" has a completely different meaning to you :-) | |
| [10:03] <jamesh> fabbione: would an X display problem that disappears when I boot with acpi=no likely be an X problem, or a hardware problem? | |
| [10:04] <jamesh> (this is on an athlon64) | |
| [10:05] <fabbione> jamesh: yes.. everything can be when it goes to amd64 and X | |
| [10:05] <fabbione> and it can be easily an X problem | |
| [10:05] <fabbione> Xfree86 didn't get much love on amd64 as X.org did | |
| [10:06] <jamesh> fabbione: okay. With ACPI enabled, it displays random garbage, except for the mouse cursor | |
| [10:06] <jamesh> with acpi=no, it works perfectly. | |
| [10:07] <fabbione> jamesh: ok. please open a bug with all the info | |
| [10:07] <fabbione> such as videocard and so on | |
| [10:07] <jamesh> okay. | |
| [10:07] <fabbione> exact models of the laptop, logfiles with both working and nonworking X | |
| [10:08] <fabbione> jamesh: make it a normal severity | |
| [10:08] <fabbione> there is really nothing i can do to make it working at the moment | |
| [10:08] <fabbione> we will have to see with X.org | |
| [10:08] <jamesh> is there an easy way to get the log file from a previous run of the X server? | |
| [10:09] <fabbione> jamesh: try checking /var/log | |
| [10:09] <jamesh> I had to restart the machine when X screwed up | |
| [10:09] <fabbione> afaik there is a backup of the log | |
| [10:09] <fabbione> well please send both | |
| [10:09] <fabbione> i need them to check | |
| [10:10] <jamesh> yes there is. | |
| [10:12] <jamesh> fabbione: interesting. the .old log file says it finds an AGP card, while the current one says it found a PCI card ... | |
| [10:12] <jamesh> I'll restart to make sure I've got the right logs though. | |

| [11:44] <fabbione> sabdfl: i have a good news and a bad news.. which one first? | |
| [11:44] <sabdfl> good news today! | |
| [11:45] <fabbione> sabdfl: the work on X.org is progressing pretty good | |
| === sabdfl normally prefers the beef before the ice cream | |

| [11:45] <sabdfl> when's daniels due in cph? | |
| [11:45] <fabbione> the bad news is that is much more than what I expected. | |
| [11:45] <fabbione> sabdfl: 1st nov. | |
| [11:45] <sabdfl> ok | |
| [11:45] <fabbione> manly because they reorganized a good portion of the tree | |
| [11:46] <sabdfl> do we have x.org in arch yet? | |
| [11:46] <fabbione> that makes some stuff more complex | |
| [11:46] <fabbione> sabdfl: nope | |
| [11:46] <fabbione> we need xfree86 and x.org in arch | |
| [11:46] <fabbione> for the patch forwarding | |

| [11:52] <pitti> sjoerd: back from class? | |
| [11:53] <pitti> sjoerd: bad news! modifying g-v-m as I thought yesterday does not work | |
| [11:53] <pitti> sjoerd: gnome exports an interface for unmounting a device, but not for mounting it | |
| === mvo_ [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [11:53] <sjoerd> pitti: just arrived at the uni.. | |
| [11:54] <pitti> sjoerd: it has a function for listing all connected drives, but new USB devices don't appear there | |
| [11:54] <pitti> sjoerd: this might get better if g-vfs is compiled with hal support, but until then g-v-m has to call mount on its own | |
| [11:55] <sjoerd> pitti: we'll see | |
| [11:55] <sjoerd> pitti: donno if gvfs with the new hal patches shows all volumes or only the ones in fstab | |
| [11:56] <pitti> sjoerd: BTW, I'm currently ubuntu-fying your hal package; you still conflict to g-v-m << 0.9.10, but it should be << 1.0.2 | |
| [11:56] <pitti> sjoerd: will you change that for Debian | |
| [11:56] <pitti> sjoerd: the older g-v-m expected a different storage semantics, which don't work with the newer hal | |
| [11:56] <sjoerd> pitti: for debian 0.9.10 is good enough.. that's why it's still that way | |
| [11:56] <pitti> sjoerd: oh, okay | |
| [11:57] <sjoerd> pitti: debian's 0.9.10 was a cvs, that's why it worked | |
| [11:57] <pitti> sjoerd: you cheated :-) | |
| [11:57] <pitti> sjoerd: no, just kidding | |
| [11:58] <sjoerd> pitti: i'll probably do << 1.0.2 for the new packages then.. people should be using that anyway | |

| [01:02] <pitti> thom: btw, you hacked on hal a bit, right? | |
| [01:02] <thom> a bit | |
| [01:02] <kOoLiNuS> yes | |
| [01:02] <pitti> thom: does "libselinux-dev build dependency" ring any bell? | |
| [01:02] <kOoLiNuS> i've tried the very first relase of Warty | |
| [01:02] <pitti> thom: I don't know what it was good for and hal builds fine without | |
| [01:02] <kOoLiNuS> and i was disappointed by the "crippled" Gnome-System-Tools | |
| [01:02] <pitti> thom: the Debian package does not have it either | |
| [01:02] <thom> pitti: the reason for the build-dep was to work around a bug in the selinux packages at the time, iirc | |
| [01:02] <pitti> kOoLiNuS: what's missing? | |
| [01:03] <mjg59> kOoLiNuS: That's an upstream decision | |
| [01:03] <mjg59> The tools that aren't supplied are no longer supported | |
| [01:03] <pitti> thom: what has hal to do with these packages? | |
| [01:03] <thom> pitti: (they shipped the .so in the main package, so configure would pick it up and enable selinux support, which would then blow up cos of the lack of headers) | |
| [01:04] <kOoLiNuS> I'm still in the devel ml, so I was wondering if I can "force" the installation of the "complete" package from the testing repos | |
| [01:04] <pitti> thom: darn | |
| [01:04] <mjg59> kOoLiNuS: If you download the source, you can (I /think/) change the configure options in debian/rules and the rebuild the package | |
| [01:04] <mjg59> That's assuming that you can still force the build of the unsupported tools - I'm not sure about that | |
| [01:05] <kOoLiNuS> mjg59: too far difficoult for me :-/ | |
| [01:05] <pitti> thom: my hald is not linked against libselinux, so I guess I can safely drop the dependency | |
| [01:07] <thom> pitti: yeah | |
| [01:07] <fabbione> elmo_: are you already awake? | |
| [01:08] <pitti> daniels: here? | |
| [01:08] <seb128> kOoLiNuS: apt-get source gnome-system-tools && apt-get build-dep gnome-system-tools && cd gnome-system-tools-1.0.0, add --enable-boot --enable-services --enable-disks in configure options debian/rules and then dpkg-buildpackage to build the package ... | |

| [01:09] <kOoLiNuS> seb128: ok, note taken :-D thanks | |
| [01:09] <seb128> kOoLiNuS: but these modules are not supported and bugged so probably not a good idea | |

| [01:10] <seb128> they have been removed | |
| [01:10] <seb128> there is a reason :) | |
| [01:10] <seb128> what are you trying to do ? | |

| [01:14] <__daniel> kOoLiNuS, i only have a non-graphic variant for you: cd /etc/init.d; update-rc.d <name-of-service> remove but listen to suggestions of the others, too :-) | |
| [01:14] <kOoLiNuS> seb128: perfect .... some fedora testing friend of mine did tell me something (not accurate as your link) on this | |

| [01:34] <pitti> jamesh: nice! | |
| [01:34] <pitti> jamesh: you finally made an applet? | |
| [01:35] <jamesh> pitti: yeah. It was a bit fiddly to get the sizing right. | |

| [01:37] <jamesh> I still need to do a bit more testing | |
| [01:38] <pitti> jamesh: okay, nice. Will you upload this to experimental/sid as well? | |
| [01:39] <jamesh> pitti: I'm planning on getting it merged into gnome-applets (since it is meant to replace one of the existing applets). I haven't considered packaging it separately | |
| [01:39] <pitti> jamesh: oh right, even better | |

| [02:01] <carlos> so, finally we are not going to have our final release in the main page of slashdot? | |

| [02:07] <thom> carlos: no | |
| [02:08] <carlos> :-( | |
| [02:08] <thom> *shrug*, they have given us like 4 stories in the last month | |
| [02:09] <sabdfl> carlos: no, they said the main page had had enough ubuntu coverage | |
| [02:09] <carlos> :-? | |
| [02:09] <carlos> so a final release cannot be there but a Xandros betatesting process can | |
| [02:09] <carlos> funny | |
| [02:14] <chrisa> Why isn't trashapplet in gnome-applets? | |
| [02:17] <sabdfl> chrisa: we picked it up before it had yet gone mainstream | |
| [02:17] <sabdfl> but expect it to become part of the main gnome release | |
| [02:17] <chrisa> ah | |
| [02:18] <seb128> it's already in gnome-applets cvs head | |
| [02:21] <fabbione> guys is very familiar with libraries that can help me 2 minutes? | |
| [02:25] <amu> Kamion: btw. lolo synced it :) | |
| [02:25] <Kamion> amu: cool | |
| [02:26] <__daniel> just wrote a mail to heise.de to make them cover the ubuntu release :-) | |
| [02:26] <amu> http://source.rfc822.org/pub/mirror/releases.ubuntu.com/warty/ | |
| [02:28] <fabbione> well.. i meant who is very familiar... | |
| [02:28] <seb128> fabbione: you should just ask ... | |
| [02:28] <seb128> usually the "who is very .. with ..." kind of questions don't get a lot of replies | |
| [02:30] <fabbione> seb128: well i need to understand how to split a lib in general | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> `-- lib | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> |-- libFS.a | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> |-- libFS.so -> libFS.so.6.0 | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> |-- libFS.so.6 -> libFS.so.6.0 | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> `-- libFS.so.6.0 | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> libFS.a -> libfs-dev | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> libFS.so.6.0 -> libfs6 ? | |
| [02:31] <fabbione> and the other 2? | |
| [02:31] <Kamion> yes; libFS.so -> libfs-dev, libFS.so.6 -> libfs6 | |
| [02:32] <fabbione> ok thanks! | |
| [02:32] <fabbione> that makes it simple | |
| [02:32] <fabbione> :-) | |
| [02:32] <fabbione> i already have enough headackes splitting X to dig into each single piece | |
| === fabbione does really appreciate | |
| [02:34] <seb128> .a / .la / .so -> -dev | |
| [02:34] <seb128> .so.x and .so.x.y.z -> lib | |
| [02:35] <fabbione> thanks seb :-) | |
| [02:36] <seb128> you're welcome :) | |
| [02:40] <fabbione> now the big question is.. which directory should i start polluting if i kill /usr/include/X11 and /usr/X11R6 ? | |
| [02:41] <pitti> fabbione: you kill /usr/X11R6? | |
| === pitti praises fabbione | |
| [02:42] <pitti> fabbione: why not just put the stuff in /usr/lib/X11 and the executables in /usr/bin? | |
| [02:42] <pitti> fabbione: IMHO /usr/bin can't be made worse, pollute-wise | |
| [02:42] <Kamion> I thought that was roughly the plan | |
| [02:43] <fabbione> pitti: i need somewhere where to store the includes | |
| [02:43] <fabbione> and nothing is allowed to stick <whatever>/X11 | |
| [02:43] <pitti> fabbione: but why do you want to kill /usr/include/X11? | |
| [02:43] <pitti> fabbione: it seems fairly "canonical" to me :-) | |
| [02:43] <fabbione> pitti: it's a synlink to ../X11R6/inlucde | |
| [02:43] <fabbione> pitti: see also policy | |
| [02:44] <Kamion> you can't kill /usr/include/X11 as such; people do #include <X11/foo.h> | |
| [02:44] <pitti> fabbione: right, I mean why not put the includes in /usr/include/X11 directly? | |
| === lamont takes kids to school. bbiab | |
| [02:44] <fabbione> Kamion: i know that | |
| [02:44] <Kamion> but you're going to run into dpkg hell trying to replace a directory with a symlink | |
| [02:44] <fabbione> Kamion: i need an alternate location | |
| [02:44] <Kamion> er, vice versa | |
| [02:44] <fabbione> Kamion: it is already a symnlink | |
| [02:44] <Kamion> 13:44 < Kamion> er, vice versa | |
| [02:44] <fabbione> http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s11.8.7 | |
| [02:45] <fabbione> Packages must not provide or install files into the directories /usr/bin/X11/, /usr/include/X11/ or /usr/lib/X11/. | |
| [02:45] <Kamion> yes, I know | |
| [02:45] <Kamion> I was involved in that policy discussion :P | |
| [02:45] <fabbione> and i don't want to go against policy | |
| [02:45] <fabbione> but neither i can pollute * | |
| [02:46] <Kamion> that bit of policy was taken in order to smooth the path for a future move of XFree86 to /usr | |
| [02:46] <Kamion> s/taken/created/ | |
| [02:46] <fabbione> Kamion: correct | |
| [02:46] <Kamion> I do not think that you should regard it as constraining X.org packages | |
| [02:46] <fabbione> but now that i am moving X to /usr | |
| [02:46] <fabbione> Xfree86 or X.org.. still the same stuff | |
| [02:46] <fabbione> it's an Xserver | |
| [02:46] <Kamion> the other alternative is /usr/X.org and keep the symlinks, would be simpler, but you don't get to lose the old hack | |
| [02:47] <fabbione> or X Windows System | |
| [02:47] <Kamion> I *know* :) | |
| [02:47] <Kamion> ok, "I do not think that you should regard it as constraining XFree86 or X.org packages" | |
| [02:47] <fabbione> ahh sorry | |
| [02:47] <fabbione> i misread | |
| [02:47] <fabbione> but neither i want to start another mess creating /usr/x.org | |
| [02:48] <fabbione> makes no sence to me | |
| [02:48] <fabbione> at that point i could just keep /usr/X11R6 | |

| [03:09] <Ubuntu-Linux> is the person who email addy [email protected] here? | |

| [03:09] <Ubuntu-Linux> who is it? | |
| [03:10] <Kamion> me | |
| === Ubuntu-Linux want to poke that person | |
| === Ubuntu-Linux pokes Kamion | |
| [03:10] <tseng> Ubuntu-Linux: poking on bugs works, bugzilla sends out an email with changes | |
| [03:10] <Kamion> if you're objecting to the severity change, I downgraded it as a routine bug management issue because problems on a single piece of hardware don't justify the 'blocker' severity. | |
| [03:10] <Ubuntu-Linux> Kamion: tree.. had to help me when you where the one in charges shess | |
| [03:11] <Kamion> I can't help everybody individually. | |
| [03:11] <Kamion> there's this small matter of "time" | |
| [03:11] <Ubuntu-Linux> i know | |
| [03:11] <Kamion> I also don't know what your problem is, and I was put off helping you by statements like "Ubuntu messed with d-i". | |
| [03:12] <Ubuntu-Linux> but you where there at the same time that i ask and where active | |
| [03:12] <Ubuntu-Linux> they did | |
| [03:12] <Ubuntu-Linux> it now says ubuntu when you boot up | |
| [03:12] <Ubuntu-Linux> that even called messing | |
| [03:13] <azeem> Ubuntu-Linux: crap, Ubuntu writes 'ubuntu' instead of 'debian' when it boots up? | |
| [03:14] <Ubuntu-Linux> i change the aphla d-i i used to say my name | |

| [03:35] <Kamion> which is ide/piix in discover | |
| [03:35] <Ubuntu-Linux> *because i was using a 2.4 kernel and no FULL sata support | |

| [04:13] <fabbione> azeem: that will take too long :-))) | |
| [04:13] <azeem> well, I don't know about the dpkg limitation for using /usr/include/X11 directly, but that would be the cleanest IMHO | |
| [04:14] <fabbione> and few flames all over | |
| [04:14] <azeem> /usr/bin for binaries and perhaps a subdir for /usr/lib, whatever the name | |
| [04:14] <fabbione> azeem: there are no limitations in using X11 in general | |
| [04:14] <fabbione> but if i start creating subdirs around.. | |
| [04:14] <azeem> well, the part about replacing a symlink | |
| [04:14] <fabbione> i can just live with X11R6 | |
| [04:15] <fabbione> see.. either we integrate everything inside the FHS (considering X11R6 not fHS compliant) | |
| [04:15] <fabbione> or otherwise it's not worth the mess to just rename 2 directories/symlinks | |
| [04:15] <azeem> having subdirs in /usr/{include,lib} is common practise for libraries | |
| [04:15] <fabbione> (considering the amount of packages that use then) | |
| [04:15] <azeem> having subdire in /usr is not | |
| [04:16] <fabbione> true.. i don't disagree on this | |
| [04:16] <azeem> perhaps you could swap it around and live compatiblity symlinks in /usr/X11R6 (pointing to /usr/{include,lib}/X11 for a while? | |
| [04:17] <azeem> and then kill them off eventually | |
| [04:17] <azeem> (like /usr/doc, hahaha) | |
| [04:17] <fabbione> azeem: eventually = undetermined amount of time. | |
| [04:17] <fabbione> no i am not that nice with other maintainers :-P | |
| [04:17] <azeem> one release | |
| [04:18] <azeem> which means, half a year for ubuntu and an undetermined amount of time for Debian | |
| [04:18] <fabbione> azeem: another release = 6 months here and something between 4 to 10 years in debian | |
| [04:18] <fabbione> exactly :P | |
| === azeem ^5s fabbione | |
| === AndyFitz [[email protected]] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | |
| [04:18] <fabbione> no i think i will leave X11R6 for now | |
| [04:18] <fabbione> the changes are too deep to be done by a single/two persons | |
| [04:18] <fabbione> we need a team working on it. | |
| [04:19] <fabbione> (without considering the amount of changes that the code requires) | |
| [04:19] <azeem> what's wrong with swapping the symlinks around? Is there a technical problem with that? | |
| [04:19] <fabbione> this definetly has to be done upstream | |
| [04:19] <azeem> at least, that would set a signal that X11R6 is deprecated | |
| [04:19] <fabbione> azeem: probably swapping them no. | |
| === __daniel [[email protected]] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Verlassend"] | |
| [04:19] <Kamion> swapping the symlinks around requires some very hairy preinst code and probably has undetermined compatibility implications ... | |
| [04:19] <fabbione> but i wonder when X12R1 will be out... | |
| [04:20] <fabbione> and a big API change will take place | |
| [04:20] <fabbione> it's going to be the hell storing includes all in /usr/include/X11 | |
| [04:20] <fabbione> we need to be able to differenciate them | |
| [04:20] <fabbione> at least... | |
| [04:21] <azeem> well, X12R1 will have /usr/include/X12, no? | |
| [04:22] <Kamion> X11 and X12 will *have* to be co-installable | |
| [04:22] <Kamion> at least the libraries and preferably development packages | |
| [04:22] <azeem> yeah | |
| [04:23] <azeem> if you want the static libs to be parallel installable, but them in a subdir of /lib | |
| [04:23] <azeem> eh, /usr/lib | |
| [04:23] <bob2> X12 is on the cards? | |
| [04:23] <azeem> how do the other distributions handle this? Most of them have switched to x.org by now, havent' they? | |
| [04:23] <fabbione> uh true :) | |
| [04:24] <fabbione> azeem: yes. but i doubt they have remove X11R6 | |
| [04:25] <azeem> we're at X11R8 or so right now? | |
| [04:25] <fabbione> 6.8.1 | |
| [04:25] <azeem> eh, aren't we at X11R8 or so right now? | |
| [04:25] <azeem> ah | |
| [04:25] <fabbione> X11R6 | |
| [04:25] <azeem> sorry | |
| [04:25] <azeem> so, X12 on the radar, or X11R7? | |
| [04:25] <fabbione> nothing on the radar atm | |
| [04:25] <fabbione> i am just pondering for the future | |
| [04:26] <azeem> what compatibility promises have the X guys taken? | |
| [04:26] <azeem> will they break binary compatibility with X11R7? | |
| [04:26] <fabbione> they shouldn't... | |
| [04:26] <fabbione> afaik | |
| [04:26] <azeem> godd | |
| [04:26] <azeem> eh, good | |
| [04:27] <fabbione> i can't remember if RX was for the binary compatibility and X11 the version of the protocol | |
| [04:27] <fabbione> so new version of the protocol breaks world | |
| [04:27] <fabbione> and binary compatibility kinda | |
| [04:30] <bob2> when was the last time X broke compatibility? | |
| [04:30] <bob2> er, ABI. | |
| [04:31] <fabbione> can't remember | |
| [04:31] <fabbione> probably 3.3 -> 4.0 | |
| [04:31] <bob2> fabbione: did you have much to do with X before joining the XSF? | |
| [04:32] <azeem> fabbione: what about you ask keithp for his opinion? Isn't he a DD now? | |
| [04:32] <fabbione> bob2: no | |
| [04:32] <fabbione> anyway removing /usr/include/X11 is not an option | |
| [04:32] <bob2> hah, wow, you got sucked in quick :-) | |
| [04:32] <fabbione> some x packages build-deps on packages that pulls in other x packages | |
| [04:33] <fabbione> including stuff in /usr/include/X11 | |
| [04:33] <fabbione> azeem: i am still thinking... and more i think, more i am convinced that upstream is the first one that should do it | |
| [04:33] <azeem> I don't see a need to remove /include/X11. Would you just dump everything in /include? | |
| [04:34] <fabbione> azeem: if i dump everything in /usr/include it will be a mess | |
| [04:34] <Kamion> azeem: you'd have to change every X program | |
| [04:34] <fabbione> i still need a X11 symlink | |
| [04:35] <Kamion> getting rid of /usr/include/X11/ would be broken | |
| [04:35] <fabbione> #include <X11/foo.h> 0wns you | |
| [04:35] <fabbione> and switching it from a symlink to a dir will make X or X.org unbuildable | |
| [04:35] <fabbione> wow | |
| [04:36] <pitti> fabbione: right, so what exactly is wrong with /usr/include/X11? Just because it's a symlink? | |
| [04:36] <fabbione> i guess we will live with X11R6 :-) | |
| [04:36] <fabbione> pitti: no | |
| [04:36] <pitti> fabbione: okay, you just answered. | |
| [04:37] <azeem> fabbione: at least mandrake still uses X11R6, I just asked | |
| [04:37] <azeem> probably the others as well. So I guess it's the right way for now | |
| [04:39] <fabbione> yeps | |
| === fabbione reverts the changes | |
| [04:41] <azeem> fabbione: anyway, why would switching /usr/include/X11 from a symlink to a dir make X or X.org unbuildable? | |
| [04:41] <fabbione> azeem: because almost all the documentation requires groff | |
| [04:41] <fabbione> and groff pulls in several X stuff | |
| [04:42] <fabbione> including things in /usr/X11R6/include | |
| [04:42] <azeem> oh, circular Build-Depends? | |
| [04:42] <fabbione> yeps | |
| [04:42] <azeem> suck | |
| [04:42] <fabbione> if we fuck up one upload nobody will build anything for a long while | |
| [04:43] <Kamion> uh, the groff source package has documentation of how to avoid the X build-dependency | |
| [04:43] <Kamion> but yes, groff is just one example of the zillion programs that want /usr/include/X11/ | |
| [04:44] <fabbione> Kamion: than i will need a xgroff to build x | |
| [04:44] <Kamion> ? | |
| [04:44] <fabbione> groff simply depends on these packages | |
| [04:44] <Kamion> no you don't, you build groff with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=groff-no-x11, then you build X, then you build groff properly | |
| [04:44] <fabbione> Kamion: so you need a temporary groff around | |
| [04:45] <Kamion> yes, welcome to bootstrapping | |
| [04:45] <Kamion> it's only gxditview that needs X11 | |
| [04:46] <fabbione> Kamion: it would be easier for me to create a anti-x-groff and upload it :-) | |
| [04:47] <Kamion> and die shortly afterwards :) | |
| [04:47] <Kamion> tetex is no different | |
| [04:48] <Kamion> you need it for some of the docs too AIUI, but it build-deps on X | |
| [04:48] <fabbione> yeah i also build-dep on tetex | |
| [04:48] <fabbione> and X build-deps on it | |
| [04:48] <azeem> well, I believe this circular Build-Dep is not a very good reason to keep X11R6 alive, in case we agree it should in principle die | |
| [04:48] <fabbione> cool, isn't it? | |
| [04:48] <Kamion> groff doesn't pull stuff in from /usr/X11R6/include/ directly though, it uses the symlink | |
| [04:48] <elmo_> fabbione: okay, the security stuff is in theory done - if you don't mind, I'd like to wait for mdz to ack it before you start using it | |
| [04:49] <fabbione> elmo_: sure i don't mind | |
| [04:49] <kylem> wow. that installation went well. good work guys. | |
| [04:49] <fabbione> elmo_: i am not sure for how long i can stay around | |
| [04:49] <fabbione> elmo_: in the worst case we will do tomorrow | |
| [04:50] <elmo_> fabbione: well, can you put your upload somewhere so matt could upload, it and try the new mechanism out? | |
| [04:50] <fabbione> elmo_: otherwise i can just handover the packages to pitti since he will take care of security | |
| [04:50] <fabbione> elmo_: sure | |
| [04:53] <fabbione> azeem: anyway i have a very limited amount of time | |
| [04:53] <fabbione> azeem: i need a decision asap | |
| [04:53] <fabbione> and i think that for the next 6 months we can live with X11R6 | |
| [04:53] <fabbione> we had it around for ages | |
| [04:53] <fabbione> 6 months more or 6 months less won't kill anybody | |
| [04:54] <fabbione> and etch will not be released by that | |
| [04:54] <azeem> fabbione: well, I'd talk to keithp and the rest of the x.org maintainers whether they ponder changing that general X11R6 prefix | |
| [04:56] <fabbione> azeem: i know daniels did all these changes in his tree | |
| [04:56] <fabbione> azeem: but the problem is i dunno how robusts they are | |
| [04:56] <fabbione> and he only built xc/lib/ | |
| [04:56] <fabbione> not xc/* | |
| [04:56] <azeem> maybe it really is the best to wait for the modular X before killing X11R6 | |
| [04:57] <fabbione> yeah | |
| [04:57] <fabbione> i agree | |

| === Topic (#ubuntu-devel): set by lamont at Thu Oct 21 07:35:46 2004 | |
| [07:19] (daniels/#ubuntu-devel) the problem with Debian is that they're not progressive enough. if they opened it up to, say, hip-hop artists and dnb producers ... | |
| [07:19] (Kamion/#ubuntu-devel) hence, also, the sounder@ mailing list | |
| [07:19] (daniels/#ubuntu-devel) doogie: but humour nevertheless, and it's what we have. | |
| [07:19] (doogie/#ubuntu-devel) daniels: *the* problem with debian? | |
| [07:21] <azeem> everything else would be solved instantly if we s/etch/rakim/ | |
| [07:22] <bob2> mix master etch | |
| [07:23] <lamont> Kamion: apparently d-i doesn't like empty Packages files either... | |
| [07:23] <Kamion> lamont: empty Packages files where? | |
| [07:23] <lamont> my mirror | |
| [07:24] <Kamion> d'oh | |
| [07:24] <doogie> bob2: don't start | |
| [07:24] <doogie> maybe there should be theme music with each release? | |
| [07:24] <lamont> I didn't tell it to mirror anything from multiverse, but did tell it about the component. --> 0 length Packages file. And a coaster. :-( | |
| [07:24] <daniels> doogie: we ship an ubuntu-sounds package with default sounds | |
| === lamont lunches | |
| [07:24] <doogie> daniels: not what I meant. | |
| [07:24] <bob2> doogie: it would combine the best features of Debian and OpenBSD | |
| [07:24] <doogie> I mean each release has a custom mix track, or some such | |

| [07:53] <T-Bone> Kamion: do you want to do the "setup" now or tomorrow? | |
| [07:54] <Kamion> T-Bone: now's fine, just going to grab a bite to eat | |
| [07:54] <T-Bone> ok | |
| [07:54] <T-Bone> i'll wait ;) | |
| [07:54] <Kamion> but tell me what you need and I'll catch up | |
| === x4m [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [07:55] <T-Bone> Kamion: actually i need _you_ to tell me what you need ;) | |
| [07:59] <Kamion> hm, ok | |
| [08:00] <T-Bone> that includes material and tasks you'd like me to work on ;) | |
| [08:00] <Kamion> well, the other day I think I said that I'd like to be able to drop in a new netboot kernel and initrd, reboot remotely from that image, and have remote access to its console. | |
| [08:00] <T-Bone> so you need dhcp server | |
| [08:00] <Kamion> right | |
| [08:00] <T-Bone> ok | |
| [08:01] <T-Bone> i have a server already setup, i'll give you access to it | |
| [08:01] <T-Bone> so if you just need that and the ia64 box, i need a ssh2 public key, and a login | |
| [08:02] <Kamion> the other things we need to put together for d-i are: linux-kernel-di-ia64-2.6 package based on the Ubuntu kernel, ports of all the bootloader installer and partitioner component packages from Debian, and probably additions of ia64 to a few lists | |
| [08:02] <Kamion> login name cjwatson, where can I mail the key? | |
| [08:02] <T-Bone> [email protected] | |
| [08:03] <Kamion> it'll be a while before I can actually start using this for testing of course, so the buildd work is higher-priority | |
| [08:03] <T-Bone> yeah i got that | |
| === plovs [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [08:04] <T-Bone> unfortunately i need lamont's skills now, cause i hit something strange that _shouldn't_ have happened. We are waiting for him to complete stage1 as well and see if he has the same problem | |
| [08:04] <hornbeck> hey plovs | |
| [08:04] <Kamion> mailed | |
| [08:04] <T-Bone> thx | |
| [08:04] <Kamion> will need to figure out what needs to change in debian-installer to port the ia64 initrds to Ubuntu | |
| [08:04] <Kamion> I only did the changes for the arches we support | |
| [08:05] <T-Bone> k | |
| [08:05] <Kamion> think it should all be fairly easy, anyway, amd64 wasn't hard | |
| [08:06] <Kamion> i386 and powerpc were hard because they were the first ones. :) | |
| [08:06] <T-Bone> hehe | |
| [08:07] <Kamion> partman-efi, efi-reader, and elilo-installer are clean of possible debconf-priority damage, too; good | |
| [08:07] <T-Bone> yeap | |
| [08:07] <Kamion> but elilo-installer will need to be Ubuntu-branded. | |
| [08:07] <T-Bone> right | |

| [08:23] <justdave> mdz_: pong | |
| [08:23] <plovs> yeah, we might ask hi to join, join the wiki-team page in a how-to use the wiki and wiki notespage | |
| [08:23] <mdz> justdave: is it possible to change the default on the "find a specific bug" page to search all bugs, open and closed? | |
| [08:23] <mdz> justdave: and just have it sort open bugs ahead of closed ones? | |
| [08:24] <hornbeck> plovs: I agree, if we go and split a small team like doc already we are in for trouble | |
| [08:24] <justdave> changing the default on the open/closed state to all is easy. changing the default sort can probably be done, but isn't so easy | |
| [08:24] <sivang> So, a wiki team under doc team? :) | |
| [08:25] <hornbeck> sivang: I am suggesting we just try to get him to work with us, and that the wiki maintanance should just go along with with docs | |
| [08:25] <plovs> under sounds bad, let's say the wiki-team will spearhead the doc-team | |
| [08:25] <hornbeck> I say no wikiteam | |
| [08:25] <hornbeck> there is a doc team | |
| [08:25] <hornbeck> we do docs | |

| [08:34] <hornbeck> sivang: is the gnome-guide mainly what you are working on? | |
| === inklingx [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [08:34] <mdz> seb128: what procedure did you use to set your locale on the live CD? | |
| [08:34] <mdz> seb128: dpkg-reconfigure locales? | |
| [08:35] <seb128> mdz: no, I've just picked Submenu -> Supported languages in the boot screen | |
| [08:35] <sivang> hornbeck : currently yes, I Have also pending works on the wiki, would appriciate if you could continue with it a bit | |
| [08:35] <seb128> and then french | |
| [08:35] <mdz> or is there something at the morphix boot prompt which sets it? | |
| [08:35] <mdz> ah | |
| [08:35] <mdz> I'll check if that has the same problem | |
| [08:35] <hornbeck> sivang: continue with the guide? | |
| [08:35] <seb128> I'm restarting the liveCD on a box right now | |
| [08:35] <sivang> hornbeck : yes, if you could I'd appriciate it. | |
| [08:35] <seb128> mdz: in fact a french user pinged me about this. According to him it was working fine with the version is download some days ago | |
| [08:36] <hornbeck> sivang: just resend to me and I will see what I can do | |
| [08:36] <sivang> hornbeck : ok, do you want diffs also, or do you want to wait for 2.8.1 docs altogether maybe? | |
| [08:36] <hornbeck> sivang: just send me your diffs | |
| [08:36] <hornbeck> or the whole folder | |
| [08:37] <hornbeck> does not matter | |
| [08:37] <sivang> ok | |
| [08:37] <plovs> hornbeck: sivang what do you guys think about the kind of layout for wiki-pages? | |
| [08:37] <hornbeck> plovs: are you talking about a standard? | |
| [08:38] <sivang> the current layout is not good enough? | |
| [08:38] <hornbeck> plovs,sivang: I think we need to standardize all the pages, to use same formats | |
| [08:39] <plovs> pages look all a little different and we just began, it is now or never | |
| [08:39] <sivang> plovs : gemme some examples | |
| [08:39] <plovs> when we have 2000+ pages it might be a little late | |
| [08:39] <hornbeck> plovs: they all need to look the same | |
| [08:39] <plovs> sivang: just a sec | |
| === vorlon_ is now known as vorlon | |
| [08:40] <mdz> seb128: confirmed, I get English if I boot with the French option | |
| [08:40] <mdz> err | |
| [08:40] <mdz> never mind | |
| [08:40] <mdz> seb128: it works | |
| [08:40] <seb128> oh ? | |
| [08:40] <mdz> it's just that the computer menu is not localised | |
| [08:40] <hornbeck> plovs: it will be impossable to make them identical, but we can at least make the standards the same | |
| [08:40] <mdz> nor is "applications" or "computer" | |
| [08:40] <mdz> but the menu items under applications are localised | |
| [08:40] <seb128> mdz: yes, these are .desktop files | |
| [08:40] <seb128> not po files | |
| [08:40] <seb128> nothing to do with the locales | |
| [08:40] <mdz> ah | |
| [08:40] <mdz> and evolution is not localised | |
| [08:40] <seb128> yes | |
| [08:41] <mdz> and it has given me a French keyboard layout it seems :-) | |

| [08:41] <plovs> sivang: compare http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BasicCommands with http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BeagleInstallHowto | |
| [08:41] <mdz> seb128: it is the same bug | |
| [08:41] <plovs> different styles | |
| [08:41] <plovs> not big differences but stil... | |
| [08:41] <hornbeck> plovs: both are my pages :) | |
| [08:42] <mdz> seb128: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is -rw------- | |
| [08:42] <hornbeck> plovs: I have not changed the basiccommands page yet | |
| [08:42] <mdz> seb128: please file it in bugzilla | |
| [08:42] <plovs> hornbeck: :) i know | |
| [08:42] <plovs> hornbeck: i like the beaglepage | |
| [08:42] <hornbeck> plovs: I have been working on the beaglepage nonstop because new stuff keeps happening | |
| [08:42] <seb128> mdz: ok, thanks | |
| [08:43] <hornbeck> plovs: I need to remake the whole BasicCommands page | |
| [08:43] <plovs> it rocks, i want to do it all the time, but have no time | |
| [08:43] <hornbeck> plovs: I know how that is | |
| [08:44] <plovs> sivang: what if we make the beaglepage layout the basic layout? | |
| [08:44] <sivang> plovs : I like it better, yes. | |
| [08:44] <hornbeck> plovs: I think that would work | |
| [08:44] <plovs> we can make an empty howto page called DocumentationHowto and point to it | |
| [08:44] <sivang> well, have a look at /HowDoc | |
| [08:45] <sivang> hornbeck : If I recall right your comments about the laytout, you want everything that needs be typed to be in a "code" box right? | |
| [08:45] <hornbeck> sivang: yes | |
| [08:46] <plovs> sivang: it is easier to copy and paste from there | |
| [08:46] <hornbeck> sivang, plovs: it makes it easier to copy and paste sections | |
| [08:46] <plovs> and it looks nice :) | |
| [08:46] <hornbeck> :) | |
| [08:46] <plovs> sivang: but whatever we do it looks best if it is the same | |
| [08:47] <sivang> ok, I suggest we streamline it as so. I will modify HowDoc accordingly | |
| [08:47] <hornbeck> plovs, sivang: is someone going to note all this stuff? | |
| [08:48] <sivang> hornbeck : I am , see the line before :) | |
| [08:48] <hornbeck> sivang: I read right as I was hitting enter | |
| [08:48] <plovs> sivang: nice, will you make DocumentationHowto? | |
| [08:49] <plovs> or should I do it? | |
| [08:49] <hornbeck> HowDoc is basicly a DocumentationHowto | |
| [08:49] <hornbeck> http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/HowDoc | |
| [08:49] <hornbeck> maybe needs a name change? | |
| [08:49] <hornbeck> since we are mainly going with Howto at the end of howto's | |
| [08:51] <plovs> what we can do is making DocumentationHowto and use [[IncludePage()] ] to put it inside HowDoc | |
| [08:51] <hornbeck> plovs: good idea | |
| [08:51] <hornbeck> plovs: is there a good wiki howto out there/ | |
| [08:51] <hornbeck> ? | |
| [08:51] <hornbeck> I am learning wiki markup as we go | |
| [08:52] <plovs> hornbeck: brb | |
| [08:52] <hornbeck> ok | |
| [08:52] <plovs> hornbeck: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/HelpIndex | |
| [08:52] <plovs> hornbeck: especially HelpOnMacros | |
| [08:53] <plovs> hornbeck: and HelpOnMacros | |
| [08:53] <hornbeck> plovs: thanks | |
| [08:54] <plovs> hornbeck: the include is a little broken you can only include whole pages | |
| [08:54] <plovs> hornbeck: moin 1.3 will/should solve that | |
| [08:54] <hornbeck> ok | |
| [08:54] <hornbeck> should we just rename that page? | |
| [08:54] <hornbeck> than just add new stuff to it | |
| [08:55] <hornbeck> have a '''wiki howto''' '''docbook howto''' all on the same page? | |
| [08:55] <hornbeck> a stop shop | |
| [08:55] <plovs> look at CategoryCategory , you can just make an automatic list | |
| [08:56] <hornbeck> you lost me | |
| [08:57] <hornbeck> link | |
| [08:58] <plovs> if you look at the page-source you'll see it's just two lines | |
| [08:58] <plovs> so you can make a HowtoPage with an automatic links to all howto's | |
| [08:58] <plovs> something like that | |
| [08:58] <hornbeck> ahh | |
| [08:58] <hornbeck> ok | |
| [08:59] <hornbeck> but the main question is, should we just be HowDoc into DocumentationHowto | |
| [08:59] <hornbeck> sivang? | |
| [08:59] <hornbeck> I think it makes more since | |
| [08:59] <sivang> yes, I think of HowDoc to be both for offline stuff we do, and wiki content guidline. have 2 sections on that. | |
| [09:00] <hornbeck> sivang: a rename though? | |
| [09:00] <sivang> oh, you want it to have HowTo at the end | |
| [09:00] <sivang> yes | |
| [09:00] <sivang> :) | |
| [09:00] <plovs> hornbeck: a howto is usually short and to the point (kernel howto is too long) | |
| [09:00] <sivang> for the catrgorization to work. | |
| === x4m [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [09:00] <plovs> hornbeck: a document is long and detailed | |
| [09:00] <plovs> hornbeck: i *think* | |
| [09:00] <hornbeck> plovs: DocDoc than? | |
| [09:00] <hornbeck> :) | |
| [09:01] <hornbeck> plovs: kernel howto is long no matter what | |
| [09:01] <plovs> what about ending doc-stuff in Doc or Document? | |
| [09:01] <plovs> hornbeck: there are three kernel-pages already, that needs cleaning up | |
| [09:01] <hornbeck> DocumentationDoc? | |
| [09:01] <hornbeck> plovs: I noticed today | |
| [09:02] <plovs> WritingGuidelinesDoc ? | |
| [09:02] <hornbeck> plovs: the one I made was made real nice | |
| [09:02] <hornbeck> plovs: that works | |
| [09:02] <hornbeck> shoudl the kernelhowto be made KernelInstallDoc? | |
| [09:04] <plovs> yes that's better i think | |
| [09:04] <hornbeck> make it so | |
| [09:04] <sivang> btw, I think the wiki team falls nicely under the "documentation sounder team" accoridng to the outlined tasks it carries | |
| [09:04] <plovs> sivang: what do you think Howto pages and Doc pages? | |
| [09:05] <sivang> plovs : well, actually I think that big docs should be shorty incorporated into PLone CMS, and the wiki should be acting more of a bleeding edge corner and docdevel works | |
| [09:06] <hornbeck> sivang: we are not at that area yet, but what do you think for right now | |
| [09:07] <sivang> hornbeck : yes it's good, then we should have 2 indexes for Guides / Howtos. Like on http://www.debian.org/doc/ | |
| [09:08] <hornbeck> sivang: I agree | |
| [09:10] <plovs> sivang: i agree, but in wiki, they can be worked on. | |
| [09:11] <plovs> what about something like: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/AlexanderPoslavsky_2fPlayGround | |
| [09:11] <plovs> and then one for the docs | |
| [09:11] <plovs> feel free to mess up that page | |
| [09:12] <plovs> hornbeck: how good are you at python? | |
| [09:12] <hornbeck> plovs: decent | |
| [09:12] <hornbeck> I do alot of it for my jobs | |
| [09:13] <hornbeck> plovs: why you ask? | |
| [09:13] <plovs> hornbeck: i played around with a moin2docbook.py thingie but i'm just starting with python | |
| [09:13] <hornbeck> plovs: did you write it? | |
| [09:14] <plovs> hornbeck: i wrote open file, close file check parameters ... so no, not yet | |
| [09:14] <plovs> hornbeck: i am trying to understand classes | |
| [09:14] <hornbeck> plovs: if that is something you would like to work on together, send me what you have and we can work on it | |
| [09:15] <hornbeck> brb have to order books for my classes | |
| [09:17] <plovs> sivang: yes, like the debian guys | |
| [09:18] <sivang> plovs : actually the python classes are the nicest and most straightforward I've seen compared to Java, C++ etc | |
| [09:19] <plovs> sivang: that says something about my programming :( | |
| [09:19] <sivang> plovs : no, you might no thave any other introduction to OOP langs, so that might explain it :) | |
| [09:20] <plovs> sivang: it is the first time, and i need more time to read it | |
| [09:20] <plovs> sivang: how difficult is it to make yelp docs? | |
| [09:20] <sivang> sivang : but you'll catch on fast, if you programmed before - take "Dive into python" by Mark Pilgream , very good | |
| [09:21] <sivang> plovs : actually, you just learn the DTD and that's it. You're writing XML | |
| [09:21] <plovs> sivang: i have it installed :) | |
| [09:21] <hornbeck> ok, I am back | |
| [09:21] <plovs> sivang: if we could write this converter then we could just convert wiki pages (they are really basic) to XML | |
| [09:21] <sivang> plovs : you can do some work on the manual, it teaches you about the dtd as you see al those tags for representing menu choises, items. | |
| [09:22] <plovs> sivang: *the* manual? | |
| [09:22] <sivang> plovs : Yes, I have talked with Enrico about that - We might have the Plone CMS team to do this for us maybe | |
| [09:22] <sivang> :) | |
| [09:22] <plovs> sivang: duh, what manual? | |
| [09:23] <hornbeck> plovs: we can work on it, if someone else does it, it will at least give you some experiance with python | |
| [09:23] <sivang> plovs : yes, the gnome official needs some adjustments and modification to nicely follow Ubuntu's desktop looks and actions. | |
| [09:23] <hornbeck> plovs: also Docbook is easy | |
| [09:23] <hornbeck> just follow what is already there, for most manuals | |
| [09:23] <plovs> sivang: i am trying to concentrate on two things, my wife is explaining diets and recipes to me from the second computer | |
| === justdave [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [09:24] <hornbeck> plovs: I understand that :) | |
| [09:25] <plovs> hornbeck: how would you go about converting a file from moin to docbook? i have a look for line in file with lot of re.match | |
| [09:25] <hornbeck> I have wife and two kids, who talk to me while I do all this | |
| [09:25] <hornbeck> plovs: I would have to start hacking on it honestly, I am not a good enough programmer to explain it off the top of my head | |
| [09:26] <hornbeck> I am more of a hit or miss guy, learn as I go | |
| [09:27] <plovs> hornbeck: well, i'll write some more and thn send it, it would be nice to get a converter | |
| [09:27] <hornbeck> plovs: cool | |
| [09:27] <hornbeck> plovs: if you want to learn docbook work on the gnome-guide with sivang | |
| [09:27] <hornbeck> its a good starting place | |
| [09:28] <plovs> sivang: can yelp use non-local =internet files? | |
| [09:28] <hornbeck> yelp just reads DTD as far as I know | |
| [09:28] <sivang> plovs : lemme ask it's developer for a sec :) | |
| [09:29] <plovs> sivang: do you hve some simple task? | |
| [09:30] <sivang> plovs : no it can't, and won't. | |
| [09:30] <plovs> sivang: less is more, i should have guessed, this is not kde | |

| === hornbeck [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [09:34] <sivang> hornbeck : yes | |
| [09:34] <plovs> sivang: i could take HowDoc from common approach, and put it in DocHowto, and the | |
| [09:34] <plovs> n link it back | |
| [09:34] <sivang> plovs : ok | |
| [09:39] <plovs> hornbeck: sivang what page do we use for suggestions to the documentation team? | |
| [09:40] <hornbeck> hmm | |

| [09:40] <hornbeck> hows that sound? | |
| [09:42] <mdz> does anyone here have a copy of vmware? | |
| [09:42] <hornbeck> plovs: sivang: are we renameing HowDoc and the KernelHowto? | |
| [09:42] <hornbeck> I have 4.5 for linux somewhere mdz | |
| [09:42] <mdz> hornbeck: if it is the eval version, is it possible for me to get a copy? | |
| [09:43] <mdz> I'm trying to track down this bug: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2492 | |
| [09:43] <hornbeck> mdz: you can download the eval version | |
| [09:43] <mdz> not without registering on their website, getting an evaluation key, etc. | |
| [09:44] <mdz> I just want to look at some of the files | |
| [09:44] <mdz> and see if it is doing what I suspect it may be | |
| [09:44] <hornbeck> I don't have a eval version | |
| [09:44] <hornbeck> I can get the eval version for you if you want | |
| [09:44] <mdz> can you look and see if it changes the samba startup links? | |

| [10:25] <theantix> any idea why there is no php4-common in Ubuntu like there is in Debian Sid? some universe packages depend on it... any developer I can talk to about the reasons for that or any workaround? | |

| [10:27] <mdz> I was hoping to find someone who already had a copy and could poke around and see if it does anything nasty to /etc/rc?.d | |
| [10:27] <sivang> mdz : I suppose it does. It always added stuff to bootup scripts when I Used it on sarge,sid and RH | |

| [10:35] <lamont_r> not yet | |
| [10:35] <seb128> the problem is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive being 600 | |
| [10:35] <seb128> (thanks mdz for finding this) | |
| [10:36] <seb128> chmod 644 it and that works fine | |
| [10:36] <lamont_r> on the liveCD? | |
| [10:37] <seb128> yes | |
| === lamont_r adds a 'umask 0' to the build process, and pushes things to the top of the hill | |
| === mdz gapes | |
| [10:37] <mdz> lamont_r: that file is created dynamically during boot | |
| [10:37] <mdz> must be | |
| [10:37] <lamont_r> ah, ok. | |
| [10:38] <mdz> not that umask 0 would be a good idea _anyway_...:-) | |
| [10:38] <lamont_r> means I'll have to go find that. | |
| [10:38] <seb128> it is, depending of the locale selected in the menu | |
| [10:38] <lamont_r> just knew that i have 022 , which still wouldn't explain it... | |
| [10:38] <amu> lamont_r: problem ( warning ) with booting, umount: /.dev not found ; rmdir: invalid option --f; can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases: Read-only file system; alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found ... | |
| [10:38] <lamont_r> is anything getting 077 as a umask? | |
| [10:38] <lamont_r> amu: we're ignoring the leases file issue | |
| [10:38] <lamont_r> but rmdir -f could use some staring at | |
| [10:38] <mdz> that file wouldn't be there after a reboot anyway :-) | |
| [10:39] <amu> lamont_r: i took screenshots | |
| [10:39] <lamont_r> right - that's because we switched from pump to dhclient3... | |
| [10:39] <lamont_r> amu: cool | |
| === lamont_r is sitting at the mechanics and using dialup. | |
| [10:39] <mdz> something must be calling localedef or locale-gen somewhere in the boot process | |
| [10:39] <lamont_r> hence testing is gonna be a bitch | |
| [10:39] <mdz> based on the lang= boot parameter | |
| [10:39] <lamont_r> mdz: yes. | |
| [10:40] <amu> grubsplash you should wait min. 60sec. instead of 5 | |
| [10:40] <lamont_r> right before it starts pcmcia | |
| [10:40] <lamont_r> amu: hell no | |
| [10:40] <lamont_r> use case is enduser, not technical people. | |
| [10:40] <lamont_r> end user doesn't want the 1 min wasted time | |
| [10:40] <amu> lamont_r: process bar is ok now ;) | |
| [10:40] <lamont_r> this was discussed wrt the installed box quite a whileback | |
| [10:40] <lamont_r> amu: jdub fixed that last night | |
| [10:41] <lamont_r> mdz: do we care that gnome takes forever to come up under some situation involving no link? | |
| [10:41] <lamont_r> link beat, that is. | |
| [10:41] <amu> lamont_r: ok, we should note that in a part of the faq bootoptions *ducks* | |
| [10:41] <mdz> lamont_r: depends on how long forever is | |
| [10:41] <lamont_r> < 5 minutes | |
| [10:41] <lamont_r> just long enough to go WTF and reboot. | |
| [10:42] <amu> uploading screenshot | |
| [10:42] <mdz> lamont_r: do you realize that sources.list on the CD contains people.ubuntu.com/~lamont entries? | |
| === lamont_r notices that elmo used a large club in locking down warty | |
| [10:42] <lamont_r> mdz: yes | |
| [10:42] <lamont_r> but that's ok, because apt-get update exits immediateluy | |
| [10:42] <lamont_r> :-) | |
| [10:43] <lamont_r> http method is busted, alex blames part of the kernel hacks | |
| [10:44] <mdz> SIGSEGV | |
| [10:44] <lamont_r> yeah - in select on a socket | |
| [10:44] <lamont_r> "I was suspicious of that socket code" | |
| [10:44] <lamont_r> --Alex | |
| [10:46] <mdz> what socket code? | |
| === lamont_r looks | |
| === lamont_r forgpt the package name | |
| [10:47] <lamont_r> mdz: minifo | |
| [10:48] <lamont_r> or rather, probably minifo-2.6.7 | |
| [10:48] <mdz> isn't that the filesystem overlay thing? | |
| [10:48] <mdz> I do not see what that has to do with TCP sockets, which are what that program is using | |
| [10:50] <lamont_r> sockets are fd's, which go through the filesystem... | |
| [10:50] <amu> http://amu.debian.net/tmp/l5.png | |
| [10:50] <lamont_r> and alex really thought the socket handling was, um, suspect | |
| [10:50] <lamont_r> mdz: think unix domain sockets | |
| [10:50] <mdz> I agree, it probably is | |
| [10:50] <mdz> but apt doesn't use unix domain sockets | |
| [10:51] <lamont_r> but the sockets code gets involved anyway | |
| [10:52] <mdz> you're saying that mini_fo mangles generic socket code? | |
| === mdz runs away | |
| [10:52] <mdz> no wonder that thing will never go near upstream | |
| [10:52] <mdz> where can I get a copy of that patch? | |
| [10:54] <lamont_r> mdz: nfc - I didn't even look at it, other than 'http method dies with segv, and strace, pick on alex'. see p.u.c/~lamont/LiveCD/morphix/source | |
| === amu detects a bugs bombarding | |
| [10:56] <mdz> I didn't realize you had noticed that major things were broken and weren't filing bugs about them | |
| [10:57] <lamont_r> 1) didn't see apt not working as major - it's a livecd. 2) the last bug I asked someone to file I got told "please dont" | |
| [10:58] <lamont_r> the localization bug was mentioned last night - investingating today. | |
| [10:59] <mdz> lamont_r: that was regarding "the live CD has fundamentally different hardware detection" which is a design issue | |
| [10:59] <lamont_r> true | |
| [10:59] <lamont_r> but still a WONTFIX bug. | |
| [11:00] <lamont_r> or at least NOTWARTY | |
| [11:00] <lamont_r> because we've already declared it to be RC for hoary | |
| [11:01] <mdz> doesn't apt work on morphix? | |
| [11:01] <lamont_r> not recent disks, apparently | |
| [11:01] <mdz> if it doesn't, I really don't see the point of tolerating all this mini_fo madness | |
| [11:01] <mdz> that seems like the only reason | |

| === mvo_ [[email protected]] has joined #ubuntu-devel | |
| [11:21] <lamont_r> mdz: looks like minifo might be trivial to fix - want me to see what I can do? | |
| [11:31] <mdz> lamont_r: what's the story? | |
| [11:32] <lamont_r> well, if it's just a null pointer deref issue (like the oops says), it could just be a matter of a check, dunno until I look | |
| [11:35] <lamont_r> fear any code that contains the comment: XXX ... this is wrong? | |
| [11:35] <T-Bone> lol | |
| [11:36] <T-Bone> lamont_r: dude, I write that kind of code! | |
| === T-Bone ducks | |
| [11:41] <mdz> lamont_r: before the oops, there is an assertion failure down in the mini_fo code | |
| [11:41] <mdz> so I don't know what the root cause is | |
| [11:41] <mdz> it shouldn't be passing a NULL up the stack | |
| [11:42] <lamont_r> mdz: I'll dig into it some | |
| [11:42] <lamont_r> car done at the mechanics, heading back home in a few | |
| [11:42] <mdz> lamont_r: ok, the localisation stuff is higher-priority though | |
| [11:42] <mdz> I imagine it's more fixable, too | |
| [11:43] <lamont_r> trivially. | |
| [11:43] <lamont_r> and I'll fix the rmdir -f issue, since it's in the same package, and equally trivial | |
| [11:43] <lamont_r> (I fixed the locale issue by adding a chmod 644 after the locale-gen call | |
| [11:44] <lamont_r> in theory, wifi drivers are in anything newer than the RC bits, but I have no hardware to verify | |
| === mxpxpod [[email protected]] has left #ubuntu-devel ["later.."] | |
| === lamont_r finishes up with the mechanic and heads homeward. | |
| [11:54] <lamont_r> mdz: anything else before I flee? | |
| [11:55] <mdz> lamont_r: new build with locales fixed later this afternoon? | |
| [11:55] <mdz> if so, nothing else at the moment | |
