| [01:49] <ScottK> I wish if someone were going to do a complete giveback of all the build failures in the archive (I think that's what's happened) they'd have given some warning. I certainly wouldn't have spent all the time over the last 3 week carefully picking through for retries worth doing. | |
| [01:54] <ScottK> If LP is at all right this'll take two weeks to build out. | |
| [01:55] <wgrant> ScottK: Keep in mind that lots of stuff will likely fail early. | |
| [01:55] <ScottK> True. | |
| [01:55] <ScottK> I realize it'll likely be much less. | |
| [01:55] <wgrant> And hppa and sparc are special. | |
| [01:56] <ScottK> Actually I think most of what's there will fail. I wasn't kidding about spending the last 3 weeks going through failures looking for stuff to retry. | |
| [01:56] <ScottK> Just finished today. | |
| [01:56] <wgrant> Oh wow. That's a lot of queued builds... | |
| [01:57] <ScottK> Yes. It's a retry on every single FTBFS for Jaunty. | |
| [01:57] <directhex> any way to abort the attempted rebuilds? | |
| [01:57] <wgrant> Not without SQL access. | |
| [01:58] <bluefoxicy> is it possible to package VirtualBox OSE on Ubuntu CDs such that they run from INSIDE WINDOWS when you pop them in? | |
| [01:58] <ScottK> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+builds?build_text=&build_state=failed doesn't know about a FTBFS more than ~1 hour old. | |
| [01:58] <bluefoxicy> seeing as QT is GPL now | |
| [01:58] <directhex> bluefoxicy, not sensibly. need drivers & reboots to install virtualbox on windows | |
| [01:59] <ScottK> bluefoxicy: Qt has been GPL for year. | |
| [01:59] <ScottK> years even. | |
| [01:59] <bluefoxicy> scottK: It's always had a restrictive Windows license | |
| [01:59] <ScottK> bluefoxicy: How is that even possible. | |
| [01:59] <bluefoxicy> Well, a commercial entity controlled Qt | |
| [01:59] <ScottK> It can't be GPL unless you run Windows. | |
| [02:00] <ScottK> That's not GPL. | |
| [02:00] <bluefoxicy> so they published the Linux version as GPL, and patched it to run on Windows but only distributed binaries of that, under a restrictive license | |
| [02:00] <ScottK> I suspect what you're thinking of is it's now LGPL. | |
| [02:00] <bluefoxicy> possibly | |
| [02:00] <ScottK> I don't think so. | |
| [02:00] <bluefoxicy> my brain may be busted. | |
| [02:00] <ScottK> You can run KDE on Windows with no problem. | |
| [02:00] <bluefoxicy> I know the Linux version had a different license | |
| [02:00] <directhex> ScottK, the qt3 license certainly used to be gpl-or-proprietary, with the windows port only available as proprietary. there were efforts to port the gpl version, but they, erm, sucked | |
| [02:01] <ScottK> OK. Qt3 is not been developed in a long time. | |
| [02:01] <directhex> didn't say it was. just sayin'... | |
| [02:01] <ScottK> For Qt3 I think you're correct. | |
| [02:01] <bluefoxicy> directhex: also there's lots of install-and-run software (openoffice) on the Ubuntu CDs | |
| [02:01] <bluefoxicy> wouldn't installing a driver fall under install-and-run? | |
| [02:02] <ScottK> Licensing for Qt3 hasn't changed. | |
| [02:02] <bluefoxicy> and preconfigure the installed VBox to have a "boot LiveCD with 384M RAM" option | |
| [02:02] <ScottK> Licensing for Qt4.4 hasn't changed either. LGPL is only Qt4.5. | |
| [02:04] * ScottK isn't kidding about being disheartened about a couple of dozen hours of work over the last several weeks turning out to be totally unnecessary. | |
| [02:05] <directhex> the blanket rebuild must've been queued y someone who doesn't pay their server power bills | |
| [02:08] <ScottK> This does cause some actual problems for how we'd planned on doing the KDE 4.2.1 upload next week. | |
| [02:08] <ScottK> Urgh. | |
| [02:12] <ScottK> So far 2 successes, 252 failures. | |
| [02:13] <directhex> ScottK, totally worthwhile! | |
| [02:15] <wgrant> ScottK: How do you calculate that? | |
| [02:15] <wgrant> There's no way to sort builds lists, AFAICT. | |
| [02:16] <wgrant> Ah, through +history? | |
| [02:16] <ScottK> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+builds?build_text=&build_state=built and python-cjson was a fresh upload. | |
| [02:16] <ScottK> Any success after that is the retries | |
| [02:16] <Aquina> Short westion: Where are these outputs on system startup generated? I wanna modify them. | |
| [02:17] <ScottK> And then all of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+builds?build_text=&build_state=failed are from the retries | |
| [02:17] <wgrant> There's nothing after that. | |
| [02:17] <wgrant> Oh. WTF. | |
| [02:17] <wgrant> Why does it sort differently depending on the filter? | |
| [02:18] <Aquina> (posted in #ubuntu before): Someone knows where the usplash messages come from? I removed the parameter "quiet" from defoptions ind menu.lst. I searched through all the /etc/init.d/ scripts but couldnt find these messages printed. Search engines didn't help. Please do you... | |
| [02:18] <wgrant> Compare state=built and state=all. | |
| [02:18] <ScottK> It's interesting that the time sort isn't correct. | |
| [02:18] <wgrant> Which time sort? | |
| [02:19] <wgrant> AFAICT for state != all, the key is start time. | |
| [02:19] <wgrant> For state == all, the key is queue time. | |
| [02:19] <wgrant> (I think)( | |
| [02:19] <ScottK> The failed ones were not entirely in time sequence | |
| [02:20] <ScottK> All doesn't seem to show failures. | |
| [02:20] <ScottK> Ah. That'd make sort of sense. | |
| [02:21] <wgrant> I think it does. | |
| [02:21] <wgrant> But nothing queued recently has failed. | |
| [02:21] <ScottK> BTW, every one of the build failures will land in one or two inboxes too. | |
| [02:21] <wgrant> Oh yes, I know this well. | |
| [02:21] <ScottK> I wonder if this is revenge for me filing a bug about notification of translations success spamming my inbox. | |
| [02:22] <StevenK> I seriously doubt that | |
| [02:22] * ScottK was kidding | |
| [02:22] <wgrant> Even I have to doubt that :P | |
| [02:22] <ScottK> StevenK: Do you know why this was done? | |
| [02:23] <wgrant> Mass-givebacks happen. | |
| [02:23] <StevenK> What wgrant said | |
| [02:23] <wgrant> Frequently. | |
| [02:23] <ScottK> BTW, I was looking at the failures wrong. They are sorted by fail time. | |
| [02:23] <StevenK> Mass-givebacks are done at points throughout the cycle | |
| [02:28] * wgrant likes how the distribution build failure list is preceded by empty build records created by the unembargoing process. | |
| [02:34] <mluser-home> Anyone know how I can disable pulseaudio system wide? | |
| [02:34] <wgrant> mluser-home: This is not the correct channel. | |
| [02:35] <mluser-home> wgrant: sorry | |
| [02:35] <wgrant> You want #ubuntu, or to realise that you don't want to disable PulseAudio system wide. | |
| [02:35] <mluser-home> I'm having this problem in Jaunty, and I thought #ubuntu was just for hardy and intrepid | |

| [05:37] <Codd> I just installed jaunty Alpha 5 on my machine (clean install) and I'm noticing that every once in a while cpu usage spikes for just a second and everything locks up (GUI, background tasks,mp3 playing, video, downloads) and then it all returns to normal. If I load a complex ajax page in firefox the cpu still goes upto 99% but I don't get a lock up, Right now it seems to occur when I play media files (xvid, mp3) I formatted usin | |
| [05:40] <dtchen_> Codd: if the symptom is persistent when playing/recording audio, there's a known issue in the current jaunty pulseaudio package causing the daemon to spin in a tight loop due to bogus data being passed from the sound driver. it has been fixed in a bzr branch and will land in the next upload. | |
| [05:47] <Codd> dtchen_: sweet it does look like pulseaudio is bouncing around alot in top, I guess since the system was freezing up I didn't see it peak :) I'm loving the new release though, keep up the amazing work! | |

| [08:06] <fargiolas> cjwatson: I usually don't ask for support here. it was a particular case where I needed to know a thing that only the involved ubuntu developer could know so I asked here. I could have probably found the answer myself but I was tired after hours fighting with a broken windows installation and not able to concentrate anymore, this could also explain why I may have seemed unpolite. | |
| [08:15] <fargiolas> cjwatson: also I still believe it was not a support question. It was more a question about an ubuntu-specific implementation detail. I'm really sorry I was OT here.. I did it in good faith. | |

| [16:34] <ion_> dpkg dependencies don’t allow one to depend on (ruby1.8, libjson-ruby1.8) OR ruby1.9, do they? | |
| [16:35] <directhex> you could work around that with a metapackage | |
| [16:36] <directhex> i.e. myapp-ruby1.8 | ruby1.9, where myapp-ruby1.8 has no contents & only a dep on ruby1.8, libjson-ruby1.8 | |
| [16:36] <directhex> or wouldn't a dep on libjson-ruby1.8 pull in ruby1.8? | |

| [17:25] <ilowe> Do Ubuntu devs prefer to receive new packages into Ubuntu or should they go upstream to the Debian repos first? | |
| [17:25] <directhex> ilowe, generally, the latter | |
| [17:26] <ilowe> directhex: thanks; so I should follow the procedure to get the package accepted into Debian and it will just get pulled down into Ubuntu (in theory at some point in the future)? | |
| [17:27] <directhex> ilowe, that's the best way for everyone - so debian & debian-based dists also gain from your work | |
| [17:27] <directhex> ilowe, but delays can sometimes make it a sucky route | |
| [17:28] <ilowe> Cool, thanks. I'll start with that and see how the delays go :) | |
| [17:29] <directhex> ilowe, given where we are now, you have about 5 months for automatic syncing into ubuntu 9.10 | |
| [17:30] <ilowe> yikes....it's more an issue of having the package available on my own systems; I guess I'll keep it in my local repos while it makes it's way into Ubuntu | |
| [17:30] <directhex> ilowe, yes, that can work - the ubuntu PPA system allows you to build a personal repo available to everyone | |
| [17:31] <ilowe> hmmm... then, would I propose to Debian *and* upload to a PPA? In which case would I just abandon the package in the PPA once it reaches Ubuntu? | |
| [17:31] <ScottK> Since we're past feature freeze for 9.04 working through Debian now won't actually make it take longer. | |
| [17:32] <ilowe> ScottK: I'm more trying to get a handle on how the repos get updated; not to worried about official releases | |
| [17:32] <directhex> ScottK, right now, i don't know whether i'd agree. NEW is... taking its time. assuming no delays getting as far as NEW | |
| [17:33] <ScottK> directhex: It's also just after a release in Debian, so no suprise. | |
| [17:33] <ScottK> ilowe: If you get your package into Debian it will automatically come into Ubuntu in the next release. | |

| [18:24] <ilowe> http://tinyurl.com/dkrvw7 states that the original package name should be <pkg>-<ver> but the resulting name should be <pkg>_<ver>; if I maintain the upstream as well, should I be naming my package <pkg>-<ver> and updating it in the .deb or can I name it <pkg>_<ver>? dh_make chokes on the "_" version when doing the initial debianization | |
| [18:28] <geser> ilowe: the upstream tarball should unpack to <pkgname>-<upstreamversion> | |
| [18:28] <ilowe> geser: thanks | |
| [18:28] <geser> and the tarball itself has to be named <pkgname>_<upstreamversion>.orig.tar.gz | |
| [18:29] <ilowe> OK, but that will get generated by dh_make? I have a proper <pkg>-<ver>.tar.gz file. | |
| [18:29] <geser> the _ is used as separator in package files | |
