[12:12] <tsmithe> hi. i attached a debdiff to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/106588 (comment 6) to allow evolution to start on systems without esound. i was wondering if this could be included in feisty?
[12:13] <tsmithe> i will at some point look further into the matter... why does evolution seem to wait on an orbit socket forever unless esound works?
[12:13] <tsmithe> is it too late?
[12:14] <goedson> cjwatson: I have some changes to suggest for Brazilian Portuguese translation of ubiquity. What should I do?
[12:14] <elmo> tsmithe: IANAUD but evolution is on the CD, I very much doubt you're going to get that updated at this stage, it'll need to be a SRU
[12:15] <tsmithe> ah yes. of course
[12:15] <tsmithe> i can't see the release being delayed for that
[12:17] <vdepizzol> cjwatson, ping
[12:18] <grayman> hrm
[12:19] <grayman> what's up with Vesa. It seems to be a lot of troubles
[12:21] <grayman> apparently it turns off the monitor when using geforce FX 5200(tried only on it). Is it a known issue or it's just my pc?
[12:22] <kylem> "turns off the monitor"?
[12:22] <grayman> yes litterally
[12:22] <grayman> like it goes black when X loading and the status led showing it on stand by
[12:23] <grayman> but it's fixed when you change the driver to nv
[12:24] <grayman> or "fixed"

[02:18] <Burgundavia> fabbione: are you around?
[03:15] <bluefoxicy> awwh.  No Ubuntu packs smaller than 200?
[03:17] <bluefoxicy> 10 CDs I can hold onto, easily accessible and i can part with a few if needed; the extra 190 I need to do something with them other than let them bitrot for 6 months before they get replaced.
[05:07] <fabbione> Burgundavia: i am now
[06:29] <Burgundavia> fabbione: can you fill in the sparc stuff on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/7%2e04Tour
[06:29] <Burgundavia> ?
[06:30] <fabbione> Burgundavia: isn't the doc team supposed to do that?
[06:30] <Burgundavia> fabbione: the marketing team, actually, but we have no idea about the sparc stuff, as none of us use it
[06:30] <Burgundavia> fabbione: I only need 1 or 2 sentences
[06:32] <fabbione> Burgundavia: very short, so expand it sensibly: availability of openssh server in the installer on request...
[06:33] <fabbione> Burgundavia: silo-installer improved to recognize other installed OS'es
[06:33] <Burgundavia> sounds good
[06:33] <fabbione> Burgundavia: i think as general hit it should be enough
[06:34] <jdong> are you sure we don't need (tm) thingies all around AOL to not be sued? ;-)
[06:35] <Burgundavia> jdong: where abouts?
[06:35] <jdong> Burgundavia: on the tour
[06:35] <Burgundavia> naw, not so much of a big deal
[06:35] <jdong> ok
[06:36] <Burgundavia> there is usually a footer about trademarks
[06:37] <Burgundavia> fabbione: is the title correct?
[06:43] <fabbione> Installer for Sparc64 ?
[06:43] <Burgundavia> yep
[06:43] <fabbione> i guess so

[07:39] <pitti> Good morning
[07:40] <ion_> Hi
[07:58] <dholbach> good morning
[07:58] <ion_> Hi.
[07:58] <dholbach> hi ion_
[08:17] <Kagou> morning
[08:24] <pitti> hi Kagou
[08:28] <Kagou> hey pitti
[10:07] <pitti> heno, Mithrandir: for coordination, I'll do the kubuntu amd64 edgy->feisty upgrade test now (I stole some quota from my fiancee :) )
[10:08] <heno> pitti: well done, thanks :)
[10:08] <Mithrandir> pitti: cheers.
[10:13] <mvo> can someone translate " no foi possvel criar `./usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2': Arquivo ou diretrio inexistente" for me?
[10:14] <Mithrandir> ./usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2, no such file or directory.
[10:14] <Mithrandir> the first bit, I'm not sure about.
[10:15] <lifeless> not ... possible ...
[10:15] <mvo> thanks, that helps already
[10:15] <Mithrandir> "it was not possible to create"
[10:15] <Mithrandir> according to babelfish
[10:15] <dholbach> "it was not possible to create `./usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 ': Archive or inexistent directory"
[10:15] <lifeless> god bless the fish
[10:16] <dholbach> gnome-translate is your friend :)
[10:16] <mvo> dholbach: I did not know about this one, I will try it out now
[10:22] <mvo> dholbach: g-t is quite nice, the gui needs a bit of love though
[10:43] <seb128> mvo: g-t?
[10:43] <mvo> seb128: gnome-translate
[10:43] <seb128> ah, ok
[10:56] <ogra> seb128, ugh, the patch you mention in bug 105836 is a horrible hack
[10:56] <seb128> ogra: I did mention a patch?
[10:56] <seb128> what bug is that, launchpad is b0rked
[10:56] <ogra> yeah, i just noticed
[10:56] <ogra> black screen not black in gss
[10:57] <seb128> that's not a patch, that's what has been commited upstream some months ago
[10:57] <ogra> you mentioned a gnome bug with a patch for pixmap themes
[10:57] <seb128> I mentionned there was a bug upstream which has been closed
[10:57] <seb128> well, I'm just triaging some gnome-screensaver bugs to help you
[10:57] <seb128> don't shoot the messenger :p
[10:58] <mvo> seb128: #95631 looks like a pango race again, its busted during the upgrade: "Pango-WARNING **: /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at " apparently.
[10:58] <mvo> this is when debconf-gnome tries to start its interface
[10:58] <seb128> mvo: any idea on how to workaround it?
[10:59] <seb128> I'm starting to think we should link staticly the upgrade tools
[10:59] <mvo> seb128: not right now, didn't we fix that last release?
[10:59] <ogra> seb128, thanks for that, i didnt want to argue with you indeed ;) but upstreams patch just removes the pixmap, while the problem seems to be that the embedded X window of the screensaver doesnt show up ...
[10:59] <mvo> seb128: another idea would be to run the upgrade from the live-cd or something like this. so that the upgrade happens, but does not change the environement under itself
[10:59] <ogra> so after removing the pixmaps users see a plain gtk window background instead of a black screen
[11:02] <seb128> ogra: hum, k
[11:02] <seb128> mvo: what upgrade is the bug about?
[11:02] <seb128> mvo: launchpad is sort of broken, it's 6.10 to 7.04?
[11:02] <mvo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/95631
[11:02] <ubotu> Malone bug 95631 in update-manager "postfix released (was. dist-upgrade failure (edgy->feisty) - SystemError from cache.commit(): installArchives() failed)" [High,Needs info]
[11:02] <seb128> ah, working again
[11:03] <mvo> seb128: I noticed LP breakage too. i try to reproduce it now
[11:03] <seb128> they fixed lp, that was quick ;)
[11:04] <seb128> mvo: yeah, we workarounded the bug previous cycle by ship a static pango config with the package under /var IIRC
[11:04] <mvo> seb128: yep - do we no longer do that?
[11:05] <seb128> not sure, the Debian package has structure changes as well
[11:05] <seb128> it might have been dropped during the merge
[11:05] <seb128> or it didn't apply correctly
[11:05] <seb128> I think I talked to you about it some months ago
[11:05] <mvo> seb128: ok, I check the source
[11:05] <seb128> "  * Drop the old module files handling.
[11:05] <seb128>     - Drop update-pango-modules and man pages.
[11:05] <seb128>     - Conflict with packages using update-pango-modules in the past, i.e.
[11:05] <seb128>       pango-libthai (<< 0.1.6-2).
[11:05] <seb128>     - Delete /etc/pango/pango.modules on upgrades of libpango1.0-common."
[11:05] <seb128> they did that
[11:08] <mdz> tepsipakki: are you still editing FeistyKnownIssues?
[11:09] <mdz> seb128: I did a test in vmware of an upgrade from 6.10+updates to 7.04 with workrave running, and couldn't reproduce my bug
[11:10] <mvo> seb128: thanks, I'm investigating
[11:10] <seb128> mdz: ok, dunno what was causing it, it might have been fixed or not easy to trigger
[11:10] <pitti> mvo: will /cdrom/cdromupgrade.sh work for Kubuntu, too?
[11:11] <mvo> pitti: it should
[11:11] <pitti> mvo: I just installed a stock Kubuntu edgy; I guess I need to get some edgy-updates packages before?
[11:12] <mdz> pitti: yes, update-manager
[11:12] <pitti> mvo: oh, the script calls 'gksu'
[11:12] <mvo> pitti: yes, at least u-m and the kde backport for konsole/kdelibs/kdebase
[11:13] <pitti> right, I see
[11:13] <mvo> pitti: please run it with sudo, this is whats in the upgrade notes
[11:14] <mvo> pitti: kubuntu has no "distro-cd detected" prompt yet, it needs to be started manual
[11:20] <pitti> Riddell: how can I call adept-updater to update to feisty? some hidden --devel-release option?
[11:22] <Arby> pitti: do you mean this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades?
[11:23] <pitti> Arby: *erk*
[11:23] <Arby> I could be mistaken
[11:23] <pitti> seems not; thank you
[11:24] <pitti> I hoped that was some obsolete info, now that we have the new adept in edgy-updates
[11:25] <Arby> it does look a little nasty
[11:25] <pitti> no wonder that people just use the good old apt-get dist-upgrade :)
[11:26] <Arby> indeed
[11:26] <Arby> something for gutsy maybe
[11:28] <Riddell> pitti: in feisty there's a hidden switch to call the upgrade tool but not in edgy
[11:32] <pitti> Riddell: ah, good to know
[11:33] <ogra> stratus, ping
[12:09] <pygi> hello folks
[12:11] <ogra> mvo: <pips1> I'm getting a screen refresh of GDM on the server's monitor when I'm logged in on the client and I change the default system language... oh, well it actually makes sense, because the options in GDM will change
[12:11] <pygi> hi pitti ^_^
[12:11] <ogra> mvo, is there anything in the lang selector that causes gdm to restart ???
[12:11] <ajmitch> hi pygi, pitti
[12:11] <mvo> ogra: yes
[12:11] <ogra> hi ajmitch pygi pitti
[12:11] <ogra> :)
[12:11] <mvo> ogra: not restart, reload
[12:11] <pitti> ogra: yes, langpacks have a gdm reload AFAIR
[12:11] <pygi> hi ogra ajmitch :)
[12:11] <ogra> mvo, ah, ok fine then
[12:11] <pitti> ogra: otherwise gdm does not show new locales
[12:12] <ajmitch> hey ogra, how's it going? :)
[12:12] <mvo> ogra: this is needed so that it picks up the new language
[12:12] <mvo> s
[12:12] <pygi> ha, mvo :)
[12:12] <pygi> hi
[12:13] <ogra> mvo, fine with me, i just wanted to know if its wanted :)
[12:13] <mvo> :)
[12:13] <mvo> hey pygi
[12:13] <pygi> mvo, we've got java bindings for libburnia libs :P
[12:14] <ogra> ajmitch, fine, thanks ...
[12:15] <mvo> pygi: nice
[12:15] <pygi> I do have to commit them tho, and they are not finished
[12:15] <mdz> Riddell: so this is really the upgrade procedure for Kubuntu? manually downloading the upgrade tarball?
[12:15] <pygi> (not  my work, I don't speak java-ish languages)
[12:15] <mdz> Riddell: I thought we  backported a new adept in order to make this work more like Ubuntu
[12:16] <pitti> well, the dist-upgrade itself is fine, it's just lacking the equivalent of u-m's -d option
[12:22] <mdz> pitti: oh, so when the final release is out, it will happen automagically?
[12:22] <mdz> pitti: -d only tells update-manager to consider development releases as well as stable ones
[12:22] <mvo> mdz: that is my understanding, a wizard dialog will appear when the user clicks "check"
[12:22] <pitti> mdz: automatically> I don't knwo
[12:23] <pitti> since I could not use adept-notifier for that, the recipe requires to start the dist-upgrader directly without going through adept
[12:23] <mvo> mdz: and that was how it worked in -proposed. Riddell said earlier that the -d switch was added for feisty, but not backported as the version in -proposed defaulted to -devel
[12:25] <pitti> ogra: do you have someone to test edubuntu netboot?
[12:27] <mdz> mvo: ok
[12:27] <mdz> I've updated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades accordingly
[12:27] <Riddell> mdz: no, it'll prompt to upgrade once http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release is updated
[12:28] <mdz> Riddell: please confirm that FeistyUpgrades is correct now (for final)
[12:28] <mdz> mvo: likewise
[12:30] <Riddell> editing a small change
[12:30] <Riddell> oh, mvo is already editing
[12:30] <mvo> yes
[12:32] <mvo> Riddell: I'm done
[12:32] <seb128> mdz: do you think that bug #103246 should be listed on FeistyKnownIssues?
[12:32] <ubotu> Malone bug 103246 in gnome-compiz-manager "Gnome-compiz-manager thrusts itself into .gnomerc" [High,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/103246
[12:32] <mvo> mdz: a small correction, its not needed to click on check
[12:34] <mc44> mvo: but what if your update manager is not up to date?
[12:37] <mvo> mc44: when u-m starts it will check for a new release autoamatically (its a very small file that is checked)
[12:38] <mc44> mvo: oh just someone had the authentication problem due to not having an up to date u-m
[12:39] <mvo> mc44: right, sorry for that, but there is little we can do (beside pointing out that the feisty-updates should be installed prior to the upgrade)
[12:41] <StevenK> mvo: s/feisty/edgy/ surely?
[12:41] <mvo> StevenK: of course
[12:41] <mc44> mvo: sure just wondered if that should be pointed out in FeistyUpgrades document
[12:41] <mc44> mvo: and now i see it is
[12:41] <mc44> sorry :)
[12:42] <mvo> :)
[12:51] <ogra> pitti, i have to setup a netboot server on my ppc but i need my laptop i could use as client for the meeting in 1h ... i'll do one after the meeting
[12:52] <pitti> ogra: I'm testing edubuntu/amd64 netboot now
[12:53] <ogra> ok, i'll do i386 then in about 2h
[12:53] <pitti> ogra: I don't know at all how to test the installed system, but I can probably check if it installs correctly
[12:53] <ogra> right
[12:53] <mdz> mc44: that's documented in the release notes as well
[12:53] <pitti> ogra: I just finished jigdo'ing the server CD
[12:58] <Keybuk> mvo: could you give me some dummy instructions for an edgy user who may not have updates installed
[12:58] <Keybuk> how do they ensure that updates are enabled, and then install them?
[01:05] <ogra> ogra2@edubuntu:~$ eject
[01:05] <ogra> dm_task_set_name: Device /dev/mapper/hda3 not found
[01:05] <ogra> ^^^ whats that ?
[01:06] <Treenaks> libdevmapper
[01:06] <ogra> well, i guessed that it has to do with devmapper ... but why do i get it on my up to date feisty ?
[01:07] <ogra> ogra2@edubuntu:~$ ls /dev/mapper/hda3
[01:07] <ogra> /dev/mapper/hda3
[01:07] <ogra> it seems to exists
[01:07] <SoftIce> hi, what has happend to vserver support in feisty
[01:07] <SoftIce> has that dev stopped?
[01:08] <SoftIce> will their be vserver kernels, etc and up to date vserver packages? eg: util-vserver?
[01:08] <Keybuk> evms
[01:08] <Keybuk> ogra: remove that :p
[01:09] <Treenaks> Keybuk: evms is officially Bad?
[01:09] <ogra> ah, k seems i pay the price for not using u-m here
[01:09] <siretart> Keybuk: hey, evms is supported since warty after all!
[01:09] <Keybuk> Treenaks: it's annoying, always has been
[01:09] <siretart> Treenaks: I wouldn't consider it bad, rather undermaintained in ubuntu
[01:09] <Keybuk> that's what makes the /dev/mapper/* versions of all your drives
[01:10] <Keybuk> sometimes util-linuxness likes to use those instead of the real ones
[01:11] <siretart> btw, is there a timeline for specs for Sevilla?
[01:11] <siretart> ogra: this could improve with dpkg-trigger
[01:11] <ogra> siretart, not for single package removals though
[01:13] <siretart> that's right. well, in fact, you could use dpkg --suppress-triggers, I suppose
[01:13] <ogra> well, then i would still have it in the initrmafs ...
[01:14] <siretart> choose your poison. right
[01:14] <ogra> the regeneration is needed ... triggers are only helpful for mass installations that all have similar postinst stuff
[01:15] <siretart> ogra: do you happen to know the deadline for specs for gutsy?
[01:15] <ogra> nope ...
[01:15] <siretart> ah, ok, so it hasn't been announced yet. good (for me)
[01:16] <mneptok> siretart: 5 minutes before you finish >:)
[01:16] <ogra> there will surely be a mail soon
[01:16] <siretart> mneptok: excellent, so I have a lot of time left ;)

[01:45] <siretart> k
[01:45] <siretart> I update the bugreport then
[01:45] <Keybuk> we need something stronger than "frozen" for this point in the release process

[01:46] <elmo> "srsly, no"

[01:47] <seb128> Mithrandir: do you know when -updates will open?
[01:47] <Keybuk> this building gets strange vibrations
[01:47] <siretart> how about opening -updates earlier, like, before releasing? we don't necesarily need to accept stuff yet, but at least the packages are in some queue
[01:47] <cjwatson> seb128: immediately upon release
[01:48] <seb128> ok
[01:48] <Keybuk> oh, I see, a wacking great big helicopter flew past
[01:48] <cjwatson> actually I thought you could already upload to -proposed and it would be queued
[01:48] <cjwatson> ICBW
[01:48] <siretart> cjwatson: shall I try with rdesktop? ;)
[01:48] <cjwatson> but if it's not, then flipping feisty to CURRENT in LP will be enough
[01:48] <cjwatson> siretart: sure, why not
[01:48] <siretart> on my way
[01:49] <Mithrandir> seb128: once we release.
[01:49] <Mithrandir> siretart: that requires changing soyuz, something we'd like to not do at this point.  But yes, the plan is to have -updates and friends open a week or so before for gutsy.
[01:50] <siretart> ok, reuploaded to feisty-updates for testing if it gets queued

[02:44] <pitti> ogra: I configured network, ran ltsp-build-client, now it seems to work
[02:44] <pitti> the ltsp-build-client step is not really obvious
[02:45] <ogra> amd64 is somewhat special ... i only had one user yet who runs amd64 clients
[02:45] <ogra> we cant put i386 packages on the CD (yet)
[02:45] <ogra> so the dhcpd.conf is left in place for i386 chroots
[02:46] <pitti> ogra: oh, ltsp-build-client runs automatically for i386 installs?
[02:46] <ogra> it runs from the installer
[02:46] <pitti> ogra: ah, maybe not because this was a netboot install
[02:46] <ogra> you should already have an /opt/ltsp/amd64 chroot
[02:47] <pitti> ogra: anyway, I loop-mounted the alternate to /var/www/ubuntu and used my host system's apache as a local mirror
[02:47] <ogra> ah, might be that defaults to a workstation install
[02:47] <pitti> ogra: hm, I think I didn't have it
[02:47] <ogra> heh, you can dso that without http ;) --mirror file:///cdrom
[02:47] <pitti> ogra: I need to check again in another install, but the first time I tried to boot it didn't find a kernel to boot
[02:47] <pitti> ogra: no, edubuntu server runs in vmware
[02:48] <ogra> ah
[02:50] <pitti> ogra: hm, student-control-panel complains about 'install x11vnc on the client'; on the client I just manually enabled 'remote desktop', but that's apparently not enough?
[02:50] <ogra> no
[02:50] <ogra> thats a bit trickier ;)
[02:50] <ogra> https://wiki.edubuntu.org/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients
[02:51] <ogra> you need to attach to the real client display :)
[02:51] <ogra> gutsy will have a script to make it easier to setup from thin-client-manager
[02:51] <ogra> for now i'm happy to have the client side at least
[02:52] <pitti> ogra: ah, alright; just checking :)
[02:52] <ogra> oh, heh, the howto misses that you should install x1vnc actually :)
[02:52] <ogra> *x11vnc
[02:52] <pitti> ogra: hm, but we already have vnc apps by default in desktop; those don't work?
[02:53] <ogra> no
[02:53] <ogra> it needs to run instde the chroot ... i dont think you can run vino outside of gnome
[02:54] <ogra> and we have no other vnc server in main
[02:54] <ogra> *inside
[02:54] <ogra> (and i surely dont want to  load gnome libs on a thin client with 64M ;) )
[02:55] <pitti> ok, so I just stop worrying about that screen display now
[02:55] <pitti> thanks, ogra
[02:55] <ogra> yeah, i'll fix that for gutsy for now the errormessage should give users some pointers
[02:59] <Riddell> heno: iso testing results page down?
[03:00] <Mithrandir> Riddell: wfm
[03:00] <heno> Riddell: works for me
[03:00] <heno> though I don't think it can take a slashdotting
[03:01] <cjwatson> I've respun Ubuntu DVDs, but I'd like to give it a quick test myself first before wasting everyone else's time on it in case I screwed up the code
[03:03] <ogra> thats for LAMP only ?
[03:03] <cjwatson> looks ok at a quick glance through Packages
[03:03] <cjwatson> dns-server, lamp-server
[03:11] <Hobbsee> awww, no more updates.
[03:13] <Riddell> heno: working now for me too
[03:15] <heno> Hobbsee: having withdrawal ?
[03:15] <jsgotangco> heh
[03:15] <`anthony> fwiw, upgrading from edgy broke for me with all sorts of clashes in compiz-extra packages.
[03:15] <jsgotangco> weird though i get gzip errors in amd64
[03:15] <Hobbsee> heno: yes.  already.
[03:15] <jsgotangco> should try later
[03:15] <pitti> as beautiful as ubiquity and d-i are, you get sick of them after a week of testing...
[03:16] <jsgotangco> or worse rsync a dvd
[03:16] <Mithrandir> heno: just think of how seb128 must be feeling, then.
[03:17] <ogra> pitti, i wonder how cjwatson copes with that for years :)
[03:17] <ogra> since ?
[03:17] <ogra> hmm
[03:17] <pitti> for
[03:17] <Hobbsee> ogra: i believe the term is pure insanity?
[03:17] <cjwatson> sheesh, come on, what's taking this rsync so long - total changes are aspell-ku, update-manager-core, update-manager
[03:17] <heno> but at least he can look forward to a fresh stream of bug reports in a few days :)
[03:18] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: somebody posting rsync instructions to planet, perhaps.
[03:18] <ogra> Hobbsee, heh
[03:18] <heno> cjwatson: my sync is at 60%
[03:18] <cjwatson> "for <length of time>", "since <point in the past>"
[03:18] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: I'm *cough* rsyncing from lithium
[03:18] <fabbione> cjwatson: rsyncing now
[03:18] <heno> (i386 dvd)
[03:18] <ogra> cjwatson, pitti thanks ... :=
[03:18] <ogra> :)
[03:19] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: hm, ok, then I don't know.  I was just about to try the same for the new DVDs.
[03:20] <mvo_> Keybuk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades updated (it links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyUpdatesEnabled now) - I could add screenshots here too if required
[03:21] <Keybuk> mvo_: we don't enable -updates by default though, no?
[03:21] <cjwatson> we do
[03:21] <mvo_> Keybuk: we do
[03:21] <cjwatson> always have, AFAICR
[03:22] <Keybuk> do we disable it on the live cd then?
[03:22] <pitti> Keybuk: we disable update-notifier
[03:22] <cjwatson> not so much disable as fail to enable, but yes
[03:22] <cjwatson> livecd.sh only sets up feisty main restricted and feisty-security main restricted
[03:23] <Keybuk> ah, ok
[03:24] <seb128> `anthony: we had no compiz-extra in edgy
[03:24] <seb128> `anthony: you liked installed a buggy version available on a non official source, not a lot we can do about it
[03:25] <seb128> `anthony: s/liked/likely
[03:26] <`anthony> seb128: Hm.  I found that as a result of multiple upgrades, my sources.list has a commented out line for the cdrom of feisty Badger. search and replace wins!
[03:28] <ogra> lol
[03:29] <pitti> seb128, dholbach_: FYI, recent LP rollout seems to have broken launchpadBugs again :/; therefore I disabled the retracers yesterday
[03:30] <seb128> pitti: ok, I didn't notice, we get almost no apport crashes since your turn it
[03:31] <seb128> turned
[03:41] <heno> the latest Ubuntu DVD boots fine here, doing an install now

[03:47] <dholbach_> pitti: sounds like a case for -updates :-/
[04:00] <goedson> cjwatson, ping.
[04:01] <cjwatson> goedson: yes?
[04:02] <goedson> cjwatson, where should I send translation corrections for ubiquity?
[04:02] <robertj> under what circumstances does it make sense not to have pam use mkhomedirs?
[04:02] <cjwatson> goedson: change them in Rosetta
[04:02] <cjwatson> goedson: it's too late for feisty now though - the deadline passed nearly two weeks ago
[04:03] <goedson> cjwatson: couldn't find it there.
[04:03] <cjwatson> but Rosetta is where these live. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/debian-installer/+pots/debian-installer
[04:04] <pitti> dholbach: indeed
[04:05] <goedson> cjwatson: I was looking for ubiquity :)
[04:05] <dholbach> pitti: did you see what is broken?
[04:06] <cjwatson> yes, I wish they'd put some kind of manual link in there
[04:06] <dholbach> pitti: until now I found the attachments not to be listed after initializing Bug()
[04:06] <pitti> dholbach: no, I didn't have time to investigate it yet
[04:06] <dholbach> pitti: ok no problem
[04:06] <bddebian> Heya
[04:08] <siretart> cjwatson: uploading to -updates results in a reject email with this explanation: Not permitted to upload to the UPDATES pocket in a release in the 'FROZEN' state.
[04:11] <cjwatson> siretart: ok, fair enough
[04:12] <ogra> stratus, i thought you might be intrested in bug 105709, i saw you just added th eltsp-sound script ;)
[04:12] <ubotu> Malone bug 105709 in ltsp "sound config not reset after thin client usage" [Undecided,In progress]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/105709
[04:13] <stratus> ogra: oh, will read the full description, thanks
[04:14] <ogra> stratus, btw, why is sacix not in LP ... i would just have added it to the affected distros
[04:15] <stratus> ogra: hm set-pulseaudio and unset-pulseaudio are ubuntu only (yet) patches for pulseaudio, unfortunately
[04:15] <ogra> no, they are alsa patches afaik
[04:15] <stratus> ogra: I've added Sacix as a project as recommended by LP people, but didn't much work on that yet.
[04:15] <ogra> ah, i was looking for distro :)
[04:15] <stratus> they're pulseaudio patches, I'm almost sure ;)
[04:16] <ogra> well it sets a virtual alsa device ... pointing to pulse
[04:16] <stratus> oh no, alsa patches yes
[04:16] <stratus> they reproduce asound.conf
[04:16] <ogra> right
[04:16] <ogra> if you grab what asoundconf does to the config you can add that to the ltsp-sound script indead of my stuff
[04:17] <ogra> then it should work on any distro
[04:17] <stratus> ogra: btw, I need to ping somebody there, I've received no reply after my last message (about Sacix as project and some needed features, mainly malone related)
[04:17] <ogra> #launchpad should be the place then :)
[04:17] <wasabi_> hmmmmmm...
[04:17] <stratus> yes, I thought the same and was running the set default card and stuff like that, but it wasn't working
[04:18] <stratus> ogra: sure, don't worry.
[04:18] <stratus> in other words I haven't figured in a short time how i could extend the 'alias' set-pulseaudio. unset-pulseadio sounds easier
[04:26] <iwj> ogra: I'm testing the edubuntu dvd (i386) and it doesn't seem to set up an ltsp server at all, contrary to what Testing/Short says.
[04:26] <stratus> ogra: there's something I'm planning to upload for experimental, see: http://people.debian.org/~stratus/bzr/ltsp/ltsp-server-init/
[04:27] <stratus> ogra: I've discussed this patch and some other stuff with vagrantc two days ago when we uploaded for sid, closing tons of bugs.
[04:27] <ogra> iwj, are you installing from the live session ?
[04:27] <ogra> ubiquity will only do a workstation install
[04:27] <stratus> ogra: He's going to merge from you and we will do a new upload for sid once our 'mainly bug fix only' upload enters testing, so I've some time for new features into experimental.
[04:28] <ogra> stratus, btw, your ltspfs patch ... why are you loading ide-cdrom ? that wont affect usb floppies which will be seen as scsi devices
[04:28] <ogra> err
[04:28] <ogra> ide-floppy indeed
[04:28] <LeeJunFan> what recently changed in feisty that reconfigures X on boot? I have 25 systems w/o X because it's rewriting the PCI ID of the gfx card?
[04:30] <stratus> as weird as it seems it's needed in Debian (dunno about Ubuntu, but I can ask a co-worker to test with edubuntu)
[04:30] <stratus> and the module needs to be loaded before add_fstab_entry run
[04:31] <ogra> well, are you sure it doesnt pull in something else which is what you actually need ?
[04:31] <ogra> ide-floppy shouldt affect usb devices, really ...
[04:32] <ogra> *shouldn't
[04:32] <stratus> not regular devices, but floppy drivers on usb are scary and weird
[04:32] <stratus> I haven't looked through ide-floppy code, but this is the right module to load,  there's no dependency needed
[04:35] <iwj> ogra: Well, first I tried in the live session (Testing/Short wasn't clear).
[04:36] <iwj> But now I have done a d-i install from `server install' and selected the edubuntu server and edubuntu desktop tasks.
[04:36] <iwj> My 2ary ethernet interface has no IP address and there's no dhcp server.
[04:37] <ogra> did the ltsp udeb run ? you should have seen it
[04:37] <ogra> it takes good 10 mins so its something you would notice i guess
[04:40] <iwj> No, nothing sat for 10 mins.
[04:40] <iwj> What would it look like ?
[04:41] <ogra> a progress bar with title: "building LTSP client"
[04:41] <iwj> Nothing like that, no.
[04:41] <iwj> Or at least not for 10 mins.
[04:41] <iwj> I might have failed to look at it for a minute or two.
[04:42] <iwj> Where are the installation instructions that I ought to be following, if any ?
[04:42] <ogra> it sits there pretty long ... and it should have shown a note if it didnt confiog your second interface
[04:42] <ogra> i dont have any for the DVD to be honest ...
[04:42] <iwj> ogra: I think we can safely say it didn't run.
[04:42] <iwj> Well, err, where are the cd instructions then ?
[04:42] <iwj> The alternate d-i CD I suppose.
[04:42] <ogra> i was assuming there is the default install from the CD running
[04:42] <Riddell> fabbione: installing feisty on sunblade 100 seems to be working but I can't select the keyboard (type 6 usb), type 4 and 5 do some crazy remapping
[04:42] <ogra> (alternate)
[04:43] <fabbione> Riddell: yes.. known bug.. see Release Notes.. you need to select a standard PC105 keyboard
[04:43] <iwj> ogra: Tell you what, I'll do it again and this time I'll ask you which option to take at the key point s?
[04:43] <ogra> http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted we're just reworking that for feisty, but most of it should be similar
[04:43] <Riddell> fabbione: ok
[04:43] <ogra> (apart from ststic IP config and the dhcpd.conf stuff in the end)
[04:44] <ogra> *static
[04:44] <fabbione> Riddell: X won't be autoconfigured properly tho but i guess you know that
[04:44] <fabbione> Riddell: once we get sometime, i would love to get access and see if we can automate it
[04:44] <Nafallo> Keybuk: you haven't written a topicdiff for irssi, have you? :-)
[04:44] <iwj> Ah, there is `install to the hard disk' and `install a server'.
[04:44] <iwj> Separately.
[04:44] <iwj> Previously I picked `install a server'.
[04:45] <iwj> Let me see what happens if I say `install to the hard disk'.
[04:45] <Keybuk> Nafallo: no, for x-chat
[04:45] <ogra> iwj, apart from the LTSP bit it shouldnt look different to an ubuntu alternate install
[04:45] <fabbione> hey Hobbsee
[04:45] <Riddell> fabbione: if the distro sprint is in london I could bring it down
[04:45] <Hobbsee> hi fabbione :)
[04:45] <Nafallo> Keybuk: the one thing I'm missing ;-)
[04:45] <Keybuk> Riddell: that's the plan
[04:45] <iwj> ogra: In this case it didn't look _at all_ different to an Ubuntu d-i install (except that the result looked like edubuntu, of course).
[04:45] <ogra> iwj, ah, right ... install a server was renamed on the CD to "install a commandline system"
[04:45] <ogra> but seems we missed out the DVD text
[04:46] <fabbione> Riddell: nah.. i just need ssh access and you tell me if X works or not.. or give me your working xorg.conf and a few data.. patching dexconf for sparc should be easy enough
[04:46] <fabbione> Riddell: it's not worth to move the entire machine.. but if you want.. well up to you
[04:46] <iwj> ogra: Ah.  I think you need to mention this issue in the release notes.
[04:46] <Riddell> fabbione: you're assuming I can get a working xorg.conf :)
[04:46] <ogra> iwj, good point
[04:46] <fabbione> Riddell: yes.. i am sure you can.. there are tons posted on google...
[04:47] <fabbione> Riddell: point is that i don't want to rely on them to hack dexconf
[04:47] <iwj> ogra: Actually, I think it's a bug.  Since I selected the `edubuntu server' task, I mean.  Or is that not the ltsp server ?
[04:47] <ogra> it is, but not the setup of the client
[04:48] <iwj> Err, `the setup of the client' meaning some setup on the server to make clients work.
[04:48] <iwj> Since the clients are diskless and haven't got any state ...
[04:48] <ogra> edubuntu-server is a metapackage that just pulls in ltsp-server-standalone and friends ... setting up the chroot is done by the installer udeb
[04:48] <iwj> I see.
[04:49] <ogra> if you do it via edubuntu-server you need to run sudo ltsp-build-client post install
[04:49] <iwj> I assume this is intended to be used by people who wouldn't understand what you just said :-) so I suggest that these distinctions shouldn't be user-visible ?
[04:49] <fabbione> Riddell: anyway the SB1000 should have an ATI card.. so fairly simple to mangle
[04:50] <iwj> I mean, I selected the `edubuntu server' task, and isn't an `edubuntu server' exactly one of these ltsp setups ?
[04:50] <ogra> iwj, on the CD its is pretty clear ... the DVD is always been rather a stepchild
[04:50] <iwj> Which is why it seems like a bug to me if it doesn't DTRT.
[04:50] <iwj> IC
[04:51] <iwj> What do you think the user will understand by the `edubuntu server' task ?
[04:51] <ogra> the CD has: install to the HD, install a workstation, install a commandline system (and the usual rescue/check stuff)
[04:52] <ogra> can you make a screenshot of the DVD menu ? i somehow dont understand what you mean with edubuntu server task
[04:52] <ogra> do you mean the "inastall a server" point ?
[04:53] <ogra> or do you refer to the edubuntu-server metapackage ?
[04:53] <iwj> No, I mean after I said `install a server' (which you say should have been renamed) I eventually got to a tasksel prompt offering four things: `edubuntu server', `edubuntu desktop' and a DNS server and LAMP.
[04:53] <ogra> oh, tasksel
[04:53] <iwj> I selected the first two.
[04:53] <iwj> Yes.
[04:54] <ogra> i havent seen that since ages :) sorry i didnt even associate task with it ... silly mne :)
[04:54] <iwj> Hence my use of the word `task' :-).
[04:54] <iwj> Is there a bug about the inaccurate dvd menu item name ?
[04:55] <ogra> hmm, indeed the user should be notified that he needs to run ltsp-build-client ... i never thought that we might run into such a thing ...
[04:55] <ogra> no, i dont think so since you just reported it :)
[04:57] <iwj> OK.  I'll file a bug about that ...
[04:57] <ogra> only doko tested the DVD yet ... but he had other way more serious issues so he likely has overseen it
[04:58] <iwj> ogra: Which LP path ?  LP doesn't have /edubuntu and I'm not sure of which package either.
[04:58] <ogra> hmm, i think either d-i or gfxboot-theme or so ....
[04:59] <ogra> i suspect the latter ... cjwatson ? wrong wording in CD menu entries ?
[05:00] <ogra> err DVD

[05:07] <vciaglia> hi
[05:09] <cjwatson> ogra: actually, "Install a server" is different - I was asked to include a server boot option on the DVD which is analogous to ubuntu-server
[05:09] <conn> mjg59, have you resolved the conflict with networkmanager and softmac drivers? I suppose it's too late to have it included with the release :(
[05:09] <ogra> cjwatson, meh, by whom ?
[05:09] <cjwatson> ogra: wasn't specifically for Edubuntu
[05:09] <ogra> cjwatson, ah
[05:09] <cjwatson> I wish Edubuntu was less full of crazy exceptions to everything
[05:10] <cjwatson> some day I need to make a list of all the constraints
[05:10] <ogra> cjwatson, i plan to let the first CD die as soon as we have a proper solution for the ltsp stuff in ubuntu
[05:10] <cjwatson> don't drag me into your debate with mdz :)
[05:10] <ogra> so you wont have to trick around with it anymore :)
[05:11] <cjwatson> <cjwatson@cairhien ~/src/ubuntu/cdimage/cdimage>$ wcgrep 'PROJECT.*kubuntu' | wc -l
[05:11] <cjwatson> 8

[05:11] <cjwatson> 46
[05:11] <ogra> well, its pretty clear we'll get any kind of solution here
[05:11] <ogra> be it his or mine ;)
[05:11] <ogra> ot a miture, who knows  ...
[05:11] <ogra> *mixture
[05:12] <cjwatson> this time please can I have a cast-iron clear description of exactly what Edubuntu requires; also preferably can you please review how the non-Edubuntu images are set up and try not to be gratuitously incompatible
[05:12] <cjwatson> because it really does cause problems that Edubuntu uses such different terminology for everything, made up essentially in isolation
[05:13] <ogra> thats why i want to get rid of most of it :)
[05:13] <cjwatson> I just want to avoid the creation of more utterly confusing stuff in its place
[05:13] <ogra> yup
[05:14] <cjwatson> so, I haven't respun Edubuntu yet for the task bug
[05:14] <cjwatson> would you like me to just get rid of the "Install a server" boot option?
[05:14] <ogra> that would be cool
[05:15] <ogra> and solve both of iwj's bugs
[05:15] <cjwatson> iwj: agree?
[05:18] <iwj> cjwatson: Yes, I think so.
[05:19] <heno> ogra: I'm interested in that debate. I'm thinking we should combine all the alternate CDs together on a 3-CD set
[05:19] <iwj> Although I don't know what that options is supposed to be for so I can't say that it wouldn't be wrong to do so.
[05:19] <holycow> i have feisty on this laptop and it seems to hang the box at 100% cpu intermittently
[05:19] <holycow> any suggestions on a tool i can use to track down what might be spiking th cpu like that to hang the system?
[05:19] <heno> that way you get different live CDs, but the alternate is just one set
[05:19] <holycow> any tips for trying to track down this issue?
[05:19] <heno> and that could be the DVD
[05:20] <cjwatson> iwj: "Install a server" is a recent addition to allow the DVDs to subsume the server CDs
[05:20] <ogra> heno, well, i'd like to move edubuntu to be a complete addon CD ... so users can choose the underlying desktop
[05:20] <cjwatson> I think it can be turned back off on Edubuntu without too much hassle
[05:20] <cjwatson> addon CDs are crack, installer-wise
[05:20] <cjwatson> just hope you know that
[05:20] <shawarma> holycow: Ask in #ubuntu
[05:20] <holycow> uh no
[05:21] <ogra> cjwatson, just like it is now ... but with .desktop entries in g-a-i for the different tasks
[05:21] <holycow> what would newbs know about tracking down issues like that?
[05:21] <ogra> no installer stuff planned
[05:21] <holycow> hoping experienced devs have some tools/tips thats all :)
[05:21] <cjwatson> sigh, I give up, I've spent years arguing about this
[05:21] <cjwatson> just as long as I don't have to implement it
[05:22] <ogra> it is already implemented
[05:22] <holycow> ogra, thats just a stupid idea
[05:22] <holycow> seriously
[05:22] <crimsun> holycow: oprofile.
[05:22] <crimsun> oh, you want app, not actual kernel?
[05:22] <Nafallo> will people on feisty-changes be copied to gutsy-changes?
[05:22] <ogra> cjwatson, i dont want to change anything with the current addon CD only seed contents...
[05:23] <holycow> crimsun, no kernel is a good start
[05:23] <ogra> its prefectly fine as is
[05:23] <holycow> crimsun, i have a sneaky feeling its a kernel module this gives me one extra thing to try, thank you!
[05:23] <holycow> ogra, no cd addons, drop the idea
[05:23] <holycow> its stupid
[05:24] <cjwatson> ogra: you won't be able to install an Edubuntu desktop using the installer any more
[05:24] <ogra> cjwatson, right thats the plan
[05:24] <jsgotangco> boo
[05:25] <ogra> cjwatson, you install ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu and pop in the addon CD that gives you different age related tasks in g-a-i
[05:25] <cjwatson> you realise that won't work?
[05:25] <ogra> which add the different artwork and edu apps
[05:25] <cjwatson> the add-on CD is germinated with respect to ONE seed
[05:25] <cjwatson> there is no support for germinating it with respect to the intersection of multiple seeds
[05:26] <cjwatson> which means that it can only possibly work when attached to a given single CD, at least without significant development work somewhere in the middle of cdimage and germinate
[05:26] <cjwatson> I already brought this up last time add-on CDs were discussed
[05:26] <ogra> right, i remember
[05:27] <ogra> well, still it can go fine with ubuntu-desktop as base ... if thats the restriction it is as it is ...
[05:27] <cjwatson> and making it work for any of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu would involve making the add-on CD significantly bigger due to the requirement to include all the necessary libraries
[05:28] <ogra> yup, i remember what you said last time ...
[05:29] <ogra> the thing is that imho the first CD is now mainly needed for ltsp setup if we can get an ubuntu solution for that we wont need it anymore
[05:31] <ogra> i just dont see why we should put additional time into maintenance for it
[05:31] <iwj> And this silly laptop doesn't seem to want to netboot.
[05:32] <cjwatson> heno: ok, I've tested the server boot option on the Ubuntu 20070418 DVDs and it's now working; could you invalidate Ubuntu 20070416 DVDs and replace them with that?
[05:32] <cjwatson> heno: I'm rebuilding Kubuntu and Edubuntu to match
[05:32] <iwj> Aha!
[05:34] <cjwatson> ogra: I sympathise with maintenance concerns; I just want to make sure the result is feasible
[05:35] <iwj> ogra: When you say `add him/her to the fuse group with the users-admin gui tool (this is not done automatically for security reasons' this appears to be false.
[05:35] <ogra> well if there are limitations we'll have to live with them .. but i want to make our life as easy as i can here ...
[05:35] <ogra> iwj, where do i say that ? we didnt do it by default in edgy and feisty
[05:35] <ogra> err
[05:35] <ogra> s/feisty/dapper/
[05:36] <iwj> Oh FUCK.
[05:36] <ogra> whats wrong?
[05:36] <iwj> This stupid automounting my stuff has automounted my journalled filesystems from my hibernated install.
[05:36] <iwj> Now I will have to force-no-resume the hiberanted install, ie crash it.
[05:37] <iwj> s/my stuff/stuff/
[05:38] <iwj> Oh well, I don't _think_ I had anything important running.
[05:38] <iwj> Still, now I'll never know.
[05:38] <ogra> you are using a hibernated machine as thin client ?
[05:39] <iwj> I'm using my laptop and netbooting it for testing purposes.
[05:39] <ogra> hmm is there any way to recognize there is hibernation data on it ... we could exclude such partitions ...
[05:39] <iwj> Using a machine that has some other purpose for a test or a demo is quite normal and shouldn't cause hideous doom.
[05:40] <ogra> sbalneav, ^^^^
[05:41] <iwj> This isn't the first time some overly-clever thing has done this.
[05:41] <iwj> The installer does it too.
[05:41] <cjwatson> please provide me with a way to tell it's hibernated and shouldn't be used
[05:41] <ogra> well, if there is a way to find out about it we can really exclude it ...
[05:41] <cjwatson> I have conflicting requirements here and need a way to satisfy both
[05:42] <iwj> cjwatson: For the installer it's easy: if it's dirty, leave it alone.
[05:43] <iwj> For edubuntu it's harder since removeable things may end up dirty.  Perhaps prompt on insertion.
[05:43] <cjwatson> hmm, wonder if parted can tell me that
[05:43] <iwj> Didn't I already report a bug against the installer ?
[05:43] <iwj> If not I should have done.
[05:43] <cjwatson> you did, I'm sure
[05:44] <cjwatson> but I remember having no idea how to satisfy both requirements at the time
[05:44] <ogra> iwj, the point where i can prompt in the session the HW got already mounted on the client ... that would need implementation changes
[05:45] <cjwatson> (all bug fixes need implementation changes)
[05:45] <iwj> cjwatson: ROTFL
[05:45] <iwj> No, sometimes we change the documentation to define darkness as the new standard ...
[05:45] <ogra> heh, well, yes, small or big ones :)
[05:46] <iwj> Even refusing to run at all when a hibernated setup is found would be better.
[05:47] <sbalneav> Are we talking edu on a separate cd?
[05:47] <ogra> sbalneav, nope we're talking ltspfs automounting hibernation partitions
[05:47] <cjwatson> libparted doesn't seem to have any fs-independent way to tell whether a filesystem is dirty, unless I'm missing something
[05:47] <ogra> on laptops ...
[05:47] <iwj> cjwatson: Lovely.
[05:47] <heno> cjwatson: will do. I've tested live CD w/ install and I'm testing server now, FWIW
[05:48] <iwj> ogra: Bug 107518.  Feel free to reassign it to a more appropriate package.

[05:48] <cjwatson> iwj: like I said in Oslo, I welcome help with the installer
[05:48] <cjwatson> particularly in the field of partitioning
[05:48] <iwj> cjwatson: *snort*
[05:48] <iwj> Why don't we assign this bug to me ?
[05:48] <iwj> Let me see if I can find it.
[05:48] <ogra> iwj, done :)
[05:48] <iwj> Not that I regularly look at my bug list :-/
[05:49] <cjwatson> I would suggest teaching parted_server (in partman-base) about a new command to tell whether the fs on a given partition is dirty, and making use of that in partman-basicfilesystems where it decides whether to automount things
[05:49] <iwj> cjwatson: bug 41624.

[05:51] <heno> cjwatson: great if you could PM me the new md5sums when the set is complete
[05:51] <cjwatson> and the original package, for that matter
[05:54] <iwj> ogra: Re that fuse group thing, I'm talking about Testing/Short.
[05:54] <iwj> Under Edubuntu, point 3.
[05:54] <ogra> oh, i need to update that
[05:54] <iwj> I see.  So these security reasons don't apply any more or to put it another way we've changed our mind ?
[05:54] <ogra> the latter rather
[05:55] <iwj> Right.  Well, OK.
[05:55] <ogra> for shools with 500 users its a pain to enabled it manuially :)
[05:55] <ogra> *schools
[05:55] <ogra> iwj, isnt your hibernation data usually on a swap partition ?
[05:55] <ogra> i'm just wondering how it gets mounted then
[05:57] <iwj> ogra: It's my filesystems that get mounted.  Eg the hibernated install's root fs.
[05:57] <iwj> Why is there no `eject' item on the menu for this fuse local usb stick, in my client desktop ?
[05:57] <ogra> ah, and then you have differences between the hibernated data and the actual FS ... now i understand
[05:57] <ogra> because its never mounted unless you write or read ...
[05:58] <ogra> it gets unmounted 2 secs after the last access happened
[05:58] <iwj> ogra: The mounting by the ltsp client replays the journal, and then the resumed install knows nothing of this and writes more stuff.
[05:58] <ogra> yuip, i understand now
[05:58] <iwj> There's still an `unmount volume' on the `File' menu in Nautilus.
[05:59] <iwj> I just tried that option and it gives me a silly error dialogue.
[05:59] <ogra> gah, bug
[05:59] <ogra> i thought i removed it everywhere
[05:59] <geser> can somebody explain me why my upload of bzr-gtk (universe) was first accepted to only be rejected 30 min later?
[06:00] <ogra> why the heck do you find all this stuff ...
[06:00] <iwj> I think users will find it confusing that `sometimes' (eg, on their normal ubuntu machine at home) they have to eject/unmount and `sometimes' (eg at school) they don't.
[06:00] <highvoltage> hie hie :)
[06:00] <iwj> I think software knows I have a bad opinion of it so it sets out to make me grumpy.  But it doesn't work because it's just confirming my expectations :-).
[06:01] <ogra> *giggle*
[06:01] <iwj> Also I'm a weirdo who tries to do what it says in the manual.  No-one else does that :-).
[06:02] <ogra> well, there is no opportunity to unmount anything with ltspfs ... what would you suggest ?
[06:02] <ogra> apart from relying on the admin to tell his users
[06:02] <iwj> Not sure.  Provide an `eject' option that does nothing but don't mind if the user doesn't do it ?
[06:02] <ogra> since thats common practice since ltsp exists ...
[06:02] <cjwatson> geser: it was initially accepted but then a decision was taken that the archive is closed for feisty
[06:02] <cjwatson> we need to lock down
[06:02] <iwj> What I really think we should do is fix the crazy behaviour on normal desktop installs.
[06:03] <iwj> It's outrageously crap.
[06:03] <ogra> hmm, right ... thats an option
[06:03] <ogra> yeah
[06:03] <iwj> So do you want a bug about the nautilus unmount volume thing ?  It doesn't seem important to me but I'm always happy to file another bug ...
[06:04] <ogra> yeah urgently, thats an oversight i would be angry to forget to fix in gutsy
[06:06] <iwj> What package ?
[06:06] <ogra> hmm
[06:07] <ogra> ltspfs for now ... even though the patch belongs to nautilus ...
[06:07] <ogra> but i wont monitor nautilus bugs ...

[06:38] <heno> *** New DVDs posted: 20070418 *** Anyone have those primed and can rsync?
[06:38] <doko> cjwatson: will it be possible to promote a package in feisty-updates, or should this be done before the release?
[06:39] <ogra> doko, it needs to go to -propsed anyway, no ?
[06:39] <ogra> i heard thats open already
[06:39] <doko> ogra: no, aksing about promotion, not upload
[06:40] <cjwatson> doko: no more changes are happening to the archive pre-release unless the sky falls in, so the latter is moot
[06:40] <cjwatson> we don't typically promote post-release either. What's the justification?

[06:42] <ogra> Hobbsee, *g*
[06:42] <doko> another workaround would be to build using the internal copy of stlport
[06:42] <Hobbsee> ogra: :D
[06:42] <cjwatson> doko: it may be possible to promote post-release, but I'd have to check; ask me after release. Building using the internal copy would be acceptable if the result is stable

[08:22] <stratus> ogra: the problem is that for some unknown reason there's no /dev/sdX on the server without the *ide*-floppy loaded (2.6.18 kernel)
[08:22] <stratus> ogra: of course we need that before add_fstab_entry, so..
[08:22] <bluefoxicy> Am I correct in assuming the default frequency scaler in Ubuntu is "ondemand" rather than userspace daemons
[08:23] <ogra> stratus, weird
[08:27] <stratus> ogra: my co-worker ack'ed that edubuntu also needs the ide-floppy trick
[08:28] <ogra> feisty ?
[08:28] <ogra> (edgy had 2.6.17)
[08:29] <stratus> ogra: he told me about .19, so I think it's something pre-feisty beta, he tested some weeks ago
[08:29] <stratus> before FISL
[08:29] <ogra> ok
[08:39] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: thanks; I've barely touched the KnownIssues page.  I guess it depends on how common the hardware is; I'd like the sound problems on common intel motherboards to be fixed quickly, for instance, but if $random_obscure_piece_of_hardware is broken, I don't really care that deeply.
[08:50] <conn> looking at FeistyKnownIssues, it says that using the livecd will be excessively slow for <256mb. I noticed the same with my systems, but I when I tried a livecd from about a week ago, the livecd environment functioned much better than previous herds/beta... I noticed that it was using swap on the harddisk. I don't know if this was intentional, but it allowed me to use the livecd to install on a system with just 196mb ram... will Feisty final use swap in
[08:50] <conn> the same way?

[10:49] <Hoggs> The whole situation is being managed amazingly well
