[12:04] <lnykryn> if I tell upstart to reexec, is there any reliable way to tell that it was done?
[12:05] <lnykryn> ideally without dbus
[14:59] <JanC> lnykryn: do you  mean in a script or manually?
[15:00] <lnykryn> JanC: in script
[15:01] <JanC> well, you can check the time when process 1 started
[15:02] <lnykryn> JanC: something from /proc?
[15:02] <JanC> for example, or using ps
[15:05] <lnykryn> JanC: hmm, it looks that that reexec does not change that time

[08:24] <cartdrige> Hey.
[08:25] <cartdrige> Happy last day of 2022!
[08:25] <cartdrige> My new resolution for 2023 is...720p all over the place.
[08:25] <cartdrige> i don't want to high density pixels.
[08:33] <daftykins> oy that's terribly low
[08:36] <cartdrige> I leave the highest things for musk and the spacemen.
[08:37] <daftykins> multitasking ftw
[08:46] <cartdrige> That's what Dr Octopussy said!

[03:57] <Toaster_> Need some help installing Xubuntu. I chose the erase disk and install option and made sure my hard drive was the one being installed to. It finished and after it restarted I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I even did the install again and same thing.
[03:57] <holstein> !nomodeset
[03:57] <holstein> Toaster_: that would be my first step.. if the live iso ran the desktop fine, i would make sure im *not* installing updates when i do the OS installation..
[03:59] <Toaster_> holstein: I chose not to install updates or 3rd party plugins
[04:00] <Toaster_> ubottu: Sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Where would I type in anything if I can't get to any screen or terminal?
[04:00] <Toaster_> aw damn
[04:01] <holstein> Toaster_: you would do that from the grub screen
[04:01] <Toaster_> holstein: I don't have a grub screen. It's just a blinking cursor
[04:02] <holstein> Toaster_: correct. i understand ...but, at boot, *right* after the bios screens, you should be able to tap shift, and unhide the grub menu, and then, edit it, and add that nomodeset option
[04:02] <holstein> its not a "fix", but, more of a troubleshooting step, to see if the graphics are the issue
[04:03] <Toaster_> holstein: Nothing happens when I try that. Right after the bios loading screen it starts blinking. Nothing appears before it
[04:03] <holstein> Toaster_: ok
[04:04] <Toaster_> I've installed other distros on it before including Ubuntu without issues
[04:04] <holstein> Toaster_: what would i do? test my hardware, and i would try the live desktop,and report here if it works or not
[04:04] <holstein> Toaster_: xubuntu *is* ubuntu.. so, you may be comparing older kernels, rather than ubuntu vs xubuntu
[04:04] <Toaster_> holstein: I already know the live desktop from the usb stick works
[04:04] <holstein> Toaster_: ok.. then, i would test my hard drive, and make sure its "ok"..
[04:05] <Toaster_> I consider it Ubuntu but with xfce
[04:05] <holstein> you can consider it that, but, the take-away for you is, the driver support, and hardware support is likely identical
[04:06] <holstein> the same kernels, and firmware *if* you are comparing, say, 14.04 ubuntu to 14.04 xubuntu.. rather than, 14.04 ubuntu with 15.04 xubuntu
[04:06] <Toaster_> bios recognizes the hard drive
[04:07] <Toaster_> It's an SSD actually
[04:07] <holstein> yup, and if that were a test of integrity, that would be great.. but, its not
[04:08] <holstein> and, im not saying the hard drive is bad,. im just saying, if the live iso boots the live desktop, and your installed system doesnt boot, thats a varable.. the hard drive is not a factor with the live iso
[04:08] <Toaster_> I know
[04:08] <holstein> can you get to tty?
[04:08] <holstein> !tty
[04:10] <Toaster_> Nothing happens. The computer beeps when I press a key if i do that
[04:14] <Toaster_> holstein: I chose the option to check the disk for defects on the live
[04:14] <holstein> thats cool, but, you are checking the live USB, which, you already installed from, and tested live.. its not a bad step, though
[04:15] <Toaster_> Well then if the live version had 1 file error, would that mean the iso is bad?
[04:15] <holstein> !md5
[04:15] <holstein> that would tell you if your download of the iso is "bad"
[04:15] <holstein> Toaster_: what iso? 15.04?
[04:16] <Toaster_> 15.04 32 bit. I will check md5
[04:16] <holstein> Toaster_:you can also try the mini iso, and add xubuntu do it.. after install
[04:16] <holstein> !mini
[04:16] <holstein> they are small iso's.. if you are having issues with the iso download..
[04:18] <bynarie> on the kernel download list, each kernel has a name with it (ex. 3.17.1-utopic).. is the name associated with the kernel mean its valid for that version?
[04:18] <bynarie> ive been told different things about this
[04:21] <xangua> the kernel download list¿
[04:22] <holstein> the OS ships with a kernel, and the kernel is maintained for the period of support, as promised
[04:22] <holstein> the updates just come in
[04:23] <bynarie> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ - this list
[04:24] <bynarie> oh shit i just realized those are mainline builds
[04:24] <Toaster_> holstein: Either I did it wrong or the iso is corrupt. http://gyazo.com/890b5545e61968649925843373006e08
[04:25] <cfhowlett> Toaster_, easy to test the .iso with md5sum ...
[04:51] <Toaster_> holstein: The md5sum on the downloaded iso was fine. I redid the live usb and after a restart it works fine. Something must have went wrong while creating it before.
[04:54] <holstein> Toaster_: cheers..
[05:24] <m0r0n> Can someone help me install the LAMP stack? I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP . Upon running install lamp-server I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/11738761/
[05:30] <nomic> z.z.z.z..z
[05:30]  * nomic finds lighttpd easier to deal with
[05:30] <nomic> apache is very large
[05:30] <m0r0n> Yeah?
[05:30] <nomic> lighttpd minimal
[05:30] <nomic> yeah
[05:30] <nomic> what I go through to get the php/webserver
[05:31] <nomic> is 1.
[05:31] <nomic> install lighttpd
[05:31] <nomic> nice easy instaall
[05:31] <nomic> 2.
[05:31] <nomic> this
[05:31] <nomic> will fetch
[05:31] <nomic> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-php-fastcgi-configuration.html
[05:32] <nomic> install php5-cgi php5-cli .. lighttpd
[05:32] <nomic> make up the fastcgi (link) .. test your php hello world thru the web server
[05:33] <nomic> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-llmp-stack-linux-lighttpd-mysql-and-php-on-ubuntu-12-04
[05:33] <nomic> stuff is easier with lighttpd
[05:33] <nomic> as I said I just install lighttpd php5-cgi php5-cli <- packages installed by sudo apt-get install
[05:33] <nomic> /var/www contains php scripts
[05:33] <m0r0n> I opened up the digital open first and saw it was 'easier', do you know if this config is good enough?
[05:33] <nomic> test them through cgi
[05:33] <m0r0n> Okay
[05:34] <nomic> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-llmp-stack-linux-lighttpd-mysql-and-php-on-ubuntu-12-04
[05:34] <nomic> that guide is good
[05:34] <nomic> apache = bloat .. lighttpd is as widely used (now) .. is used majorly .. is just as good ... is less complex
[05:35] <nomic> IMO works better with (here xubuntu)
[05:35] <nomic> there is python link to lighttpd ..
[05:36] <nomic> never installed it .. it was simple enough to get sockets working on php    lighttpd -> socket -> whatever
[05:36] <nomic> @ the very least for comms
[05:37] <nomic> lighttpd is newer ... i would say that apache .. is something that people are forced by tradition to be using .. its "established" .. doesn't mean that it's particularly svelte .. it's like eclipse
[05:38] <m0r0n> You don't like eclipse?
[05:38] <m0r0n> What do you use in substitution?
[05:39] <nomic> nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf   all you have to change to get cgi working with php ..  mod_fastcgi:  in server.modules              = (    (section)  http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-php-fastcgi-configuration.html   <- I mainly used that guide
[05:39] <nomic> fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
[05:39] <nomic>                      "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
[05:39] <nomic>                      "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"
[05:39] <nomic>                  )))
[05:40] <nomic> the link (all this in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf)
[05:40] <nomic> so you install 3 packages lighttpd php5-cli php5-cgi .. set up that
[05:41] <nomic> then you should have a <?php echo '
Hello World
'; ?>
[05:41] <nomic> in html
[05:41] <nomic> or the php hello world in /var/www (web public) .. avail thru cgi .. if lighttpd is up, it will display a status page showing everything is active
[05:41] <nomic> yeah thats the
[05:41] <nomic> default installation index.html
[05:41] <nomic> easy (relative to apache)
[05:42] <nomic> apaches for large organisations
[05:42] <nomic> like eclipse = for large projects
[05:42] <nomic> so you have to configure this massive tool, to get "hello world" working
[05:42] <nomic> or you THROW YOUR COMPUTER OUT OF THE WINDOW (smash)
[05:42] <nomic> screams
[05:43] <nomic> http://ubuntuforums.org/   <- site that with account, you can leave messages on overnight (or search for answers) .. this (here) .. wont' be attended much (certainly not as much as #ubuntu) .. the forums is very busy
[05:44] <nomic> efficient way to do it .. phrase your question .. file it into the forums in the correct place (networking, gui, internet (sub headings)) .. go to bed .. and you will if you asked nicely have answers
[05:44] <nomic> be sure to mark threads as SOLVED if a solution is reached
[05:45] <nomic> most simple things (like that, web server set up), have been solved by now .. just look around (forum search)
[05:47] <m0r0n> http://pastebin.com/JJw19nGJ
[05:48] <nomic> looks ok
[05:48] <m0r0n> I get this error when running /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart " Cannot load plugin mod_fastcgi more than once, please fix your config (we may not accept such configs in future releases "
[05:49] <nomic> http://redmine.lighttpd.net/boards/2/topics/5026  Cannot load plugin mod_fastcgi more than once, please fix your config
[05:49] <m0r0n> Commenting it out worked
[05:49] <nomic> i've never seen it
[05:49] <nomic> ok
[05:49] <m0r0n> Yeah just read it
[05:51] <m0r0n> What would be a reason for the server to start and immediately stop?
[05:51] <nomic> it stops?
[05:51] <m0r0n> by trying to run it with "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start"
[05:51] <nomic> server has messages somewhere - a log
[05:51] <nomic> show output
[05:51] <nomic> pastebin
[05:51] <m0r0n> on it
[05:52] <william_> hello
[05:55] <m0r0n> How do I check if I'm running the "FastCGI-enabled" version of FastCGI
[05:57] <nomic> you run a php script as web page
[05:57] <nomic> check if you php is working
[05:57] <m0r0n> http://pastebin.com/pRTth7ni
[05:58] <nomic> did you   "sudo apt-get install php5-cgi"  ?
[05:58] <nomic> is php5-cgi running
[05:58] <nomic> avail from command line
[05:59] <nomic> 2015-06-19 01:54:42: (mod_fastcgi.c.1103) the fastcgi-backend /usr/bin/php-cgi failed to start:
[05:59] <nomic> simple enough you php-cgi isn't there
[06:01] <m0r0n> You were right about me not having install ppg5-cgi
[06:02] <nomic> told ya -  a lot earlier (the stages)
[06:04] <m0r0n> Do I need to be running the server as sudo?
[06:05] <m0r0n> I can only run it as sudo to avoid a permissions error on var/run/lighttpd.pid
[06:06] <m0r0n> but when I try to launch the server, it shuts down as before, but it doesn't produce anything in the logfile
[06:06] <nomic> no
[06:06] <nomic> not as sudo
[06:06] <nomic> install as sudo
[06:07] <m0r0n> My config files were also locked to sudo
[06:07] <nomic> there are always permission problems (before anything else)
[06:07] <nomic> secure system
[06:07] <nomic> learn to chmod
[06:07] <m0r0n> (server.c.710) opening pid-file failed: /var/run/lighttpd.pid Permission denied
[06:07] <m0r0n> Okay
[06:08] <m0r0n> I didn't know what I should chmod for and what I should just run as sudo to stay safe
[06:08] <nomic> but .. for a temporary work-around - you can always run things as root .. but that gives a package (and  in this case, the outside world) complete access to everything
[06:08] <nomic> sudo being the thing that shuts down the security (global access)
[06:09] <nomic> when you start playing around with scripts .. you must know what permissions they have
[06:09] <nomic> sudo is never "safe"
[06:09] <nomic> sudo is root
[06:18] <m0r0n> Arghhhh
[06:18] <m0r0n> ) opening errorlog '/var/log/lighttpd/error.log' failed: Permission denied
[06:18] <m0r0n> Why would that happen if I put 777 on that log
[06:19] <m0r0n> I think it was the folder, it now works. New errors though

[09:36] <superprower> Hi. I bought a keyboard with 4 multimedia buttons: play/pause, sond-, sound+ and mute. Sound buttons works fine, but play/pause works only when media app is focused. Can i make it to work always and anywhere? I am using VLC player, xubuntu 15.04.
[10:44] <BuddyButterfly> hi
[10:44] <BuddyButterfly> I missed the question for different language when installing 15.04
[10:44] <BuddyButterfly> something special?
[10:45] <BuddyButterfly> I was able to select timezone and keyboard language but not system language to install.
[10:46] <BuddyButterfly> any hint?
[10:49] <BuddyButterfly> did I overlook something?
[11:24] <BuddyButterfly> ok, funny. xubuntu 15.04 does not start in virtualbox.
[11:24] <BuddyButterfly> 14.04 worked flawlessly!
[11:43] <xubuntu717> my installation of xubuntu is now 1 hour, is it normal?
[11:48] <knob> xubuntu717, what do you mean it's one hour?
[11:48] <knob> It has been running for one hour?
[11:53] <KhrysTLords> Hello im in need of support on installing touchscreen functions in a Olivetti Explor@200xs on Xubuntu and was unable to get it working
[12:08] <BuddyButterfly> I think I found the problem why xubuntu does not start on virtualbox
[12:10] <BuddyButterfly> Reason: With fulldisk encryption there is nowadays (starting from 15.04) a separate password request for cryptswap1 which is NOT displayed. Xubuntu therefore stays in boot screen waiting for password.
[12:14] <koegs> i dont think so
[12:14] <koegs> recently installed xubuntu 15.04 AMD64 with FDE and i only need to enter the password once
[12:18] <BuddyButterfly> nope, just tested it.
[12:18] <BuddyButterfly> same with kubuntu
[12:18] <BuddyButterfly> even updating the system brings multiple requests for the password!
[12:18] <BuddyButterfly> xubuntu--vg-swap-1
[12:19] <koegs> hm, interesting my installation just two days ago does not have such a problem
[12:19] <BuddyButterfly> sry, it is: xubuntu--vg-swap_1
[12:19] <BuddyButterfly> I just ran the update and got asked 4-5 times.....
[12:19] <bigba> hi all
[12:19] <BuddyButterfly> maybe there are fixed install medias out there?
[12:20] <BuddyButterfly> mine is a couple of weeks old now....
[12:20] <BuddyButterfly> will try with a fresh download.
[12:20] <bigba> I'm looking for help with notofyd. Anyone down to lend a hand?
[12:20] <BuddyButterfly> exact message: Please enter passphrase for disk xubuntu--vg-swap_1 (cryptswap1) on none!
[12:28] <bigba> Ok, I'll write my problem anyway. Maybe someone can recognize a familiar situation:
[12:28] <bigba> My brightness notification is shrinked to a small panel without any content except for something that looks like a pipe (|).
[12:28] <bigba> others notifications and volume notification too work just fine
[12:29] <bigba> if I log in as guest the brightness notification also works fine
[12:30] <bigba> I'm using nvidia driver and everything worked fine until yesterday.
[12:30] <bigba> I think the problem started when I installed light locker settings
[12:30] <bigba> but purging it won't fix my problem
[12:31] <bigba> Please if someone has any idea of what I can try, point me to it.
[12:52] <xubuntu717> hi, my installation of xubuntu takes 1,5 hour on new laptop, is it normal?
[12:52] <AgAu> doesn't sound right haha
[12:53] <xubuntu717> any advices?
[12:53] <BuddyButterfly> no, is not normal.
[12:53] <BuddyButterfly> what internet connection? gprs?
[12:53] <xubuntu717> wifi, fast
[12:54] <xubuntu717> with kubuntu same problem
[12:54] <BuddyButterfly> where it is stuck?
[12:55] <xubuntu717> after choosing partitions, I took whole disc, and it started to installing

[13:14] <pigeon-> Hi... I help a friend to install xubuntu.  Everything work ok, except for his printer.  It will not print.  In the setting we can clearly see that his brother-printer is installed.  When he press on the command to print,  the printer makes son sound as it it is trying to comply with the print-command,  however it does NOT work.  Any suggestions?

[14:02] <BuddyButterfly> still have problems catching the corners for window resize.
[14:02] <BuddyButterfly> is very very tricky.
[14:02] <BuddyButterfly> every window should have a small area in the corner for resizing like filemanager.
[14:04] <BuddyButterfly> also areas for catching mousepointer for edges are way too small.
[14:15] <koegs> BuddyButterfly: just use ALT + Left or Right-Click
[14:17] <pigeon-> When my friend was using windows, he had created a network for his three pc to use the printer.  So I wonder it it is the old window network that could be now interfering with the printer functions?
[14:21] <BuddyButterfly> koegs: will try.
[14:21] <BuddyButterfly> koegs: hehe, catches my virtualbox windows instead ;-)
[14:22] <BuddyButterfly> this areas should really be increased a bit.
[14:22] <BuddyButterfly> or, at least for the corner resize.

[01:48] <twb> As at lucid, for a job that declares "task", are start(8) and restart(8) identical?
[14:16] <cjs226> Does Upstart support $LAST so the process will be the last to be shutdown/started?
[14:38] <ion> Last compared to what?
[17:46] <SpamapS> cjs226: can you explain what you mean by $LAST ?

[01:29] <Hobbsee> Lure: Riddell does it most of the time...he's just not much of a firecracker about it :P - he does do a good job though
[01:29] <Lure> you need to have somebody to say: "that is off-topic"

[11:55] <freeflying> Riddell: i'm a exception? but I also got feddbacks about this
[12:01] <Riddell> freeflying: what sort of feedback?
[12:02] <freeflying> Riddell: fail to grub install
[12:05] <Riddell> from text installer?

[12:53] <kwwii> Riddell: yeah, but it was really stressy
[12:54] <kwwii> Riddell: I think they convinced him
[12:57] <kwwii> anyone here know which stand number the kubuntu stand at linuxtag is?
[01:08] <Lure> Riddell: any define in KDE headers for byte-order (LSB/MSB)? I need to fix 23750 and need to know byte order (or platform at least)

[01:22] <Lure> Riddell: found it - Q_BYTE_ORDER is probably more portable

[03:46] <freeflying> Lure: done, how can I give you
[03:48] <freeflying> Lure: works
[03:56] <Lure> freeflying: great - and thanks again!
[03:57] <freeflying> Lure: or I upload the debdiff to LP?
[03:57] <Lure> freeflying: I have still ono or two fixes I plan to include today, therefore I plan to send it by the end of day...
[03:57] <freeflying> Lure: okey
[03:58] <freeflying> Lure: you've tested beta2?
[03:58] <Lure> freeflying: yep, LiveCD + Ubiquity install on my desktop -
[03:59] <Lure> some minor glitches still, but it does not corrupt partition table for me anymore
[03:59] <freeflying> Lure: the text-installer fails to install grub for me
[04:00] <Lure> freeflying: interesting, but text installer is the same as in beta1 - they did not change the CD image...
[04:00] <freeflying> Lure: alpha, I've got feedbacks about this issue
[04:01] <freeflying> Lure: from alpha, I've got feedbacks about this issue
[04:21] <Sime> Riddell: Apply button issue. No, I haven't had enough time to go into systemsettings and work it out yet.
[04:21] <Sime> Riddell: I figured it would be a good idea not to sit on bug fixes too long now. => release.
[04:22] <Riddell> yep
[04:22] <Riddell> that's 0.6.6 uploaded now
[05:06] <Lure> Sime: while looking at systemsettings, can you explain bug 23818? it looks like network module does not shutdown on Show All
[05:06] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 23818 in kde-systemsettings "When a page is unsaved, hitting show all, followed by "apply" to save settings results in the page being reloaded in the background, blocking you from using it again" [Normal,Needs info]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/23818
[05:33] <Sime> Lure: I can't seem to reproduce the problem here.
[05:33] <kmon> mmm
[05:34] <kmon> kubuntu bittorrent for beta2 is a little bit slow
[05:34] <Sime> Lure: What I can say is that tell networkconf to discard the changes, doesn't actually discard the changes.
[05:34] <kmon> at least for amd64 live cd :(
[05:34] <Sime> Lure: BTW, clicking on Show All doesn't unload the modules. This is true (and OK).
[05:34] <Sime> Lure: The older version of systemsetting unloaded modules and crashed things a lot.
[05:35] <Lure> Sime: ok, I thought that show all should unload it - then I need to fix Discard... :-(
[05:36] <Lure> Sime: maybe knetworkconf is counting on that it will be unloaded to actually Discard...
[05:36] <Sime> Lure: It did, but it was very buggy.
[05:36] <Sime> Lure: maybe.
[05:36] <Lure> Sime: thanks - at least I know what to look for now...
[05:37] <Sime> Lure: BTW, if you run two instances of sys-settings...
[05:37] <Sime> Lure: ...then you can't go to admin mode in networkconf for example, in both.
[05:38] <Sime> Lure: You can't run the same module twice as root.
[05:38] <Lure> Sime: you cannot even open the network in second
[05:38] <Sime> Lure: as the normal user you can. But going to admin mode wno't work.
[05:38] <Lure> Sime: networkconf does not allow it even for normal user (at least for me)
[05:39] <Sime> Lure: oh... also as a normal user too...
[05:39] <Lure> Sime: but that is not a problem I think... not real-life use case IMHO
[05:40] <Sime> Lure: no it is not a problem. But it might look like a bug to some people.
[05:40] <Sime> Lure: actually the behaviour kind of is a good idea.
[05:41] <Lure> Sime: I think so - it does not make much sense to allow even for non-root to have two open at the same time
[05:41] <Sime> Lure: you also stand a good chance of corrupting config files that way too.
[05:45] <Lure> Sime: but if we change to that, then having module running after Show All does not make much sense as the other window will complain that it is already running even than you are now already in different module...
[05:46] <Sime> Lure: maybe... The fact is that I tried to fix the old behaviour (unloading) and couldn't get it worked out so that things didn't crash all the time when click on Show All.
[05:48] <Lure> Sime: were crashes only with specific modules or in general? It may be easier to fix those modules that try to address side effects (even thought they are minor annoyances and not crashes)
[05:50] <Sime> Lure: it got trick with the modules running as Admin. (i.e. as an external process).
[06:36] <Tonio_> hey
[06:36] <Riddell> salut tonio
[06:37] <Riddell> Tonio_: seen the announcement about the ubuntu distro spec sprint?
[06:37] <Tonio_> nope
[06:37] <Tonio_> just back from work :)
[06:37] <Riddell> word on the streets is that it's in paris
[06:37] <Tonio_> Riddell: url ?
[06:37] <Riddell> I don't actually have one
[06:38] <Tonio_> okay
[06:38] <Tonio_> so you'll be in paris soon ? ^^
[06:38] <Riddell> June
[06:39] <Tonio_> great, if you don't have a place to sleep, you can come at home, no pb, I have two rooms and leave alone since girlfriend is gone, so that's fine :)
[06:39] <Tonio_> I just saw compiz now works with aiglx
[06:39] <Tonio_> very interesting since aiglx is by far easier to integrate than xgl
[06:39] <Tonio_> anyone tested ?
[06:41] <Tonio_> Riddell: will the ubuntu spec sprint be opened to public ?
[06:43] <Riddell> Tonio_: yes of course
[06:44] <Tonio_> Riddell: great, I'll be there, and that'll be my latest month in paris, since I'm leaving to orleans in july :)
[06:45] <Riddell> 18th to 24th
[06:46] <Riddell> and just as a warning, these events are grueling long days of hard labour writing and discussing specs.  but occationally we have fun too :)

[06:50] <raphink> so I spend quite a lot of time with her as it happens very very few
[06:50] <Riddell> good, bring him too
[06:50] <toma> going to bed at 2am does not improve productivity during the next work day...
[06:50] <raphink> salut Tonio_
[06:50] <Riddell> 18th to 24th June, Paris
[06:51] <raphink> Riddell: what's going on there at that time?
[06:51] <Riddell> raphink: ubuntu distro spec sprint!
[06:51] <raphink> oh great :)
[06:51] <raphink> in Paris ?
[06:51] <raphink> :D :D
[06:51] <Riddell> oui oui
[06:51] <freeflying-ibook> Riddell: after that will be a i18n conference?
[06:51] <Riddell> freeflying-ibook: no idea, I've not heard of one
[06:51] <raphink> that's great :)
[06:52] <raphink> thanks for the news Riddell
[06:52] <jpatrick> Riddell: any idea what my issue is now: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/687276
[06:52] <Riddell> with all our great French contributors we should have a good kubuntu showing :)
[06:52] <Riddell> /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libkeximain.la: No such file or directory
[06:52] <freeflying-ibook> Riddell: heard from mvo :)
[06:52] <jpatrick> d'oh
[06:52] <Riddell> jpatrick: your issue is that libtool is evil
[06:52] <raphink> toma: it's when you gather for a few days to talk about what is gonna be done in the next version of the distro
[06:53] <Riddell> jpatrick: maybe I need to include that file in koffice-dev
[06:53] <jpatrick> or, should I just dep on kexi ?
[06:53] <toma> raphink: ow, ok, but 4 days?
[06:53] <raphink> toma: sure
[06:53] <raphink> lots of work
[06:53] <toma> 6 even
[06:53] <raphink> to draft stuff and all
[06:54] <Riddell> jpatrick: if that file is in kext then yes
[06:54] <raphink> so there's just to devel afterwards
[06:54] <jpatrick> ok
[06:54] <freeflying-ibook> Tonio_:  do you agree on include ktranslator in main?
[06:54] <Tonio_> freeflying-ibook: I wouldn't mine ;) but I don't decide
[06:54] <Tonio_> freeflying-ibook: I need to make an uvfe this WE
[06:54] <Tonio_> that's on my todo list
[06:55] <freeflying-ibook> Tonio_: after all,you are the maintainer heh
[06:55] <Tonio_> freeflying-ibook: but honnestly, there are other tools I would like to see in main before ;)
[06:55] <Tonio_> like knetworkmanager or wlassistant.....
[06:55] <toma> rsibreak
[06:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: we need to ping on that point, as main inclusion reports are now waiting for about a month
[06:56] <Riddell> Tonio_: those are going to be promoted
[06:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: nice, I saw kmplayer was in main already
[06:56] <Riddell> Tonio_: they're been reviewed and will be promoted with the anistacia review this week
[06:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: perfect ;)
[06:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: I wanted to discuss with you about kmplayer
[06:57] <freeflying-ibook> Tonio_:  then ktranslator :)
[06:57] <Tonio_> I'm a bit embarrassed with it
[06:57] <Riddell> Tonio_: what's up with it?
[06:57] <Tonio_> streaming and konq plugin work fine, but to associate mms or rtsp protocols with it, you need the kmplayer standard package
[06:58] <Riddell> even for konq plugin?
[06:58] <Tonio_> Riddell: yup
[06:58] <Riddell> why's that?
[06:58] <Tonio_> Riddell: sounds stupid, but that's it
[06:58] <Tonio_> Riddell: look for rtsp.protocol actually, it is associated with kaffeine, not the konq plugin
[06:58] <Tonio_> but then in konq, that allows the konq plugin
[06:59] <Tonio_> that means if we want a good kmplayer konqueror's integration, we have to ship the full kmplayer package, and I don't think we want 2 players in kubuntu
[07:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: I was siggesting to investigate and atalk kaffeine upstream about those konqueror crashing
[07:00] <Riddell> there must be a way to have it working without kmplayer proper
[07:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: that should and could be fixed I think
[07:00] <Riddell> it should be but kaffeine has always crashed and I don't see it being fixed any time soon
[07:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: concerning protocols integration, I searched without success
[07:00] <toma> did you talk to Koos Vriesen?
[07:01] <Tonio_> toma: nope, but we should ;)
[07:01] <toma> he is very friendly and replies pretty fast....
[07:01] <Tonio_> toma: the problem is in fact that using 2 players makes it complicated for the configuration, and none of them is "the perfect player" :)
[07:01] <Tonio_> toma: I will send him an email
[07:02] <Tonio_> toma: the real problem is those crashes of konq when kaffeine is used.... if that's fixed, we don't need kmplayer at all
[07:02] <jpatrick> Riddell: you're right, libtool is evil
[07:03] <toma> Tonio_: is there a valid backtrace / bug upstream?
[07:03] <Riddell> jpatrick: I'm compliling koffice to see if it generates that file, but it'll take an hour or two
[07:03] <Tonio_> toma: so many ;)
[07:03] <toma> Tonio_: oki
[07:04] <Tonio_> toma: every kaffeine user is complaning about that konqueror integration
[07:04] <Tonio_> toma: let me search a bit on launchpad
[07:04] <jpatrick> should be in kexi....
[07:04] <toma> Tonio_: hmm, just asking ;-) I have no intend to hack on it ;-)
[07:04] <Tonio_> toma: is your latest packaged version more stable concerning konqueror ?
[07:04] <toma> Tonio_: i'm a happy kmplayer user
[07:05] <Tonio_> toma: I too, but the standalone player is not as good as kaffeine to me
[07:05] <jpatrick> Riddell: better put I can't find any *.la files from kexi
[07:06] <toma> Tonio_: It is sufficient for me
[07:06] <Riddell> jpatrick: quite possibly they're just not included in koffice-dev
[07:07] <jpatrick> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=libkeximain.la&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=breezy&arch=i386
[07:07] <jpatrick> was in Breezy's kexi^
[07:08] <Tonio_> jpatrick: if you like simple things, you should have a look to codeine
[07:08] <Tonio_> it is VERY nice, and very stable too
[07:08] <jpatrick> Tonio_: i will look at that
[07:08] <Tonio_> could have ben an option for kubuntu too since it wasn't only xine compatible
[07:08] <toma> but the maintainer does not respond to mails
[07:08] <jpatrick> Tonio_: Xine in KMPlayer has died here
[07:08] <Tonio_> oups, that was for toma ;) sorry jpatrick
[07:09] <jpatrick> Tonio_: never mind
[07:09] <Tonio_> jpatrick: well, xine is supposed to work, but of course kmplayer is optimised with mplayer
[07:09] <toma> Tonio_: i know the app, i wrote a patch for media support for it, but never received a reply from upstream.
[07:10] <Tonio_> toma: it is possibly discontinued
[07:10] <Tonio_> toma: where is your latest kaffeine package available for tests plz ?
[07:10] <Tonio_> toma: that wouls be nice too ;)
[07:11] <Tonio_> that would help much hihi
[07:11] <toma> haha
[07:13] <jpatrick> Tonio_: codeine does have xine support
[07:14] <Tonio_> jpatrick: yes, but xine only, so as the future seems to be gstreamer for ubuntu, that's not a good choice for us ;)
[07:15] <jpatrick> Tonio_: I've always prefered Xine
[07:16] <Tonio_> jpatrick: yes, gstreamer isn't mature enough for the moment
[07:16] <jpatrick> Tonio_: and it just works here: http://img131.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot41jg.png
[07:17] <Tonio_> jpatrick: yes codeine is the kind of applications that "just work"
[07:17] <Tonio_> 2 buttons and never crashes
[07:17] <jpatrick> and a process bar
[07:22] <Parkotron> Personally, I think Kaffeine is the nicest, most balanced media player I've ever used. It just crashes way to often and has way to many toolbars turned on by default.
[07:23] <Tonio_> I'm testing the latest debian packaged version
[07:23] <Tonio_> all patches have been removed, so maybe that as something to see with stability
[07:26] <jpatrick> I'm off, to buy some guitar strings... later
[08:47] <Tonio_> Riddell: bad news for kaffeine... from upstream : If you're a talking about the crash after leaving the embedded player: Thats a problem with some x-server versions and can not be fixed
[08:51] <Tonio_> Riddell: KMplayer runs a xine instance in another process then blits the image to the KApplication. This is less efficient, but at least avoids the crash
[08:52] <Tonio_> so we may never found a solution to the issue unfortunately
[08:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: latest kwlan just released, interested in testing it ?
[08:56] <Tonio_> as it works with wpa, could be better than wlassistant as default if not bugging
[08:58] <Riddell> hmm, probably too late to change wifi manager again
[08:59] <Riddell> uniq: what did you do to confirm bug 41720?
[08:59] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 41720 in kdebase kdm "In dapper, kdm should depend on kubuntu-default-settings or have a different default theme" [Normal,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/41720
[09:00] <Lure> Tonio_: test package of kwlan would be nice
[09:01] <Tonio_> Lure: I'm just doing it
[09:01] <Tonio_> Lure: I don't have my laptop actually, interested to test it ?
[09:01] <Lure> Tonio_: knm with new icons and some bugfixes were released with SuSE RC3 today
[09:01] <Tonio_> Riddell: hum..... since wlassistant isn't in main yet...
[09:02] <Lure> Tonio_: it also includes different solution for disabling notification as the patch from \sh
[09:02] <Tonio_> Lure: nice, but requires an ufve
[09:02] <Tonio_> Riddell: anywa, could be interesting having kwlan in universe in any case ;)
[09:03] <Lure> Tonio_: I would prefer test binaries first to see if it is worth to ask for UVFe or we wait for next release
[09:03] <Lure> Riddell: I heard there will be flight 7 - when is this planned?
[09:03] <Tonio_> Lure: can you get the tarball while I'm packaging kwlan ?
[09:04] <jjesse> why not just use knetworkmanager?
[09:04] <Lure> Tonio_: I am busy testing knetworkconf fixes, but when done I can look into this
[09:04] <jjesse> i love it
[09:04] <Tonio_> Lure: no pb ;)
[09:05] <Tonio_> jjesse: hum, hard to install by default at the moment, since network-manager has a few limitations
[09:05] <Lure> jjesse: problem is that when knm does not work it is hard to debug and help people
[09:05] <Lure> jjesse: wlassistant and kwlan are simplier (manual) and therefore easier to support out of box
[09:05] <Tonio_> like dhcp only....
[09:05] <jjesse> oh thanks guys :)  i love the fact that when i go home or travel to a different branch office i don't have to do a sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 it just detects the change and resolves automatically
[09:05] <jjesse> and then finding wireless connections is a piece of cake :)
[09:07] <Lure> jjesse: when it works it is really nice - and Keybuk&siretart are working on nailing down the bugs so it my get to very decent state before release
[09:07] <jjesse> Lure: cool to know, but it's got my vote :)
[09:11] <yuriy> Tonio_: does it say what x-server versions it has a problem with? and if it is an x-server problem, why not fix THAT problem as opposed to just never resolving the issue
[09:13] <yuriy> Parkotron: have you tried 0.8.1?
[09:13] <Tonio_> yuriy: well, if you feel able to fix this ;)
[09:14] <yuriy> Tonio_: just saying never say never ;)
[09:15] <yuriy> as well as, has this issue been reported to the X developers/whatever they use for bug tracking
[09:16] <Tonio_> yuriy: hehe sure :)
[09:22] <uniq> riddell: i removed kubuntu-default-settings. and restarted kdm.
[09:22] <Riddell> hmm, there should be a script to turn off themes in that case
[09:23] <uniq> I'll check again.
[09:23] <Riddell> it may well not work of course, check for output from dpkg
[09:24] <uniq> I may have edited some configs manually at some time too. I'll double check.
[09:27] <yuriy> jjesse: I recall someone (Riddell?) mentioning that KsCD was unmaintained.  otherwise i agree #30809 needs a look.  I'll try the use digital playback thing now.
[09:27] <jjesse> yuriy: maybe KsCD just needs to be for digital playback by default?
[09:28] <yuriy> jjesse: ok well i do get your error in kaffeine
[09:28] <jjesse> yuriy: before or after using the digital playback?
[09:28] <yuriy> before. trying now.
[09:28] <Parkotron> yuriy: Yes, briefly. And I did notice some improvements. However, I still do most all of my video watching in my Breezy installation, so I haven't really put it to the test.
[09:30] <Lure> Riddell, raphink: sent you debdiff for two knetworkconf fixes - if you have time please review & upload
[09:30] <uniq> riddell: you're right. It works for me too, with the default kdmrc.
[09:31] <Riddell> uniq: cool
[09:31] <Riddell> Lure: cooler
[09:32] <yuriy> jjesse: enabling "use digital playback" made the audio work in KsCD but didn't affect kaffeine
[09:33] <yuriy> btw, I had no problems at all playing audio cd's with kaffeine 0.8.1
[09:34] <uniq> riddell: did we have kubuntu-default-settings as dep on kdm before breezy? I think i remember we removed it. Silly me, wanting to re-add it :)
[09:34] <yuriy> jjesse: my drop down menu is also empty, but if i put in /dev/hdc it plays
[09:34] <jjesse> yuriy: wierd will have to look at kaffiene again for me
[09:35] <Riddell> uniq: yes, in breezy it was asasasasas
[09:35] <uniq> :)
[09:35] <uniq> I'll delete the patch and forget i ever suggested re-adding that dependency :]
[09:37] <uniq> well, gtg. later kubuntuers.
[09:46] <jpatrick> kubuntuero, I think it is
[09:54] <yuriy> jjesse: in kaffeine>settings>xine engine parameters>media the first thing there is the audio cd location. so it should at least be in that drop down menu, though it should really just be detecting the cd automatically. maybe it's not reading that setting?
[09:59] <yuriy> jjesse: if i go to file>recently played the first thing there is cdda:/1, if i click on that xine says "No plugin found to handle this resource (cdda:/1)", maybe that's what's happening when you put in the CD in the first place, so maybe it's another KIO problem
[09:59] <yuriy> or is cdda:/ a xine thing, not a KDE io? i've never seen it before.
[10:02] <yuriy> jjesse: no bugs filed on this on malone or kde, so probably a new-ish kubuntu problem or something else wrong on my (our?) systems
[10:07] <Lure> Tonio_: I am looking debian svn for knm: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-utopia/packages/unstable/knetworkmanager/?rev=0&sc=0
[10:08] <Lure> see latest changelog: they have fixed knetworkmanager package by just doing Provides: - should we do the same?
[10:08] <jjesse> yuriy: i think we need to file a bug
[10:08] <OdyXydO> Bye all. Nice week-end!
[10:09] <yuriy> jjesse: typing it up already :)
[10:25] <yuriy> jjesse: #41962
[10:33] <uniq> any thoughs on #32350 ? I've added a link to a proposed patch to add the shortcut.
[10:35] <Tonio_> Lure: I'm forgetting the idea of kwlan, sources are crappy........
[10:36] <Lure> Tonio_: I have read the kdeapps.org and it does not sound ready for test yet...
[10:36] <Tonio_> Lure: yes
[10:37] <Tonio_> seems like it could be nice to simply merge the debian package for knm if it works nicelly
[10:37] <Tonio_> I'm gonna package it
[10:38] <Lure> Tonio_: that would be great - will you take knm sources from SVN or from their src.rpm?
[10:38] <Tonio_> Lure: svn
[10:39] <Riddell> Lure: does provides mean that you can do an   apt-get install knetworkmanager?
[10:40] <Lure> Riddell: not sure either - but for sure apt-cache search finds it at least
[10:41] <Tonio_> Riddell: I changed the package
[10:41] <Tonio_> you can now apt-get install knetworkmanager
[10:41] <Tonio_> network-manager-kde is just a metapackage for naming convention
[10:42] <Lure> Tonio_: true, but we then have n-m-kde also - mbiebl in debian just used Provides: knetworkmanager
[10:42] <Tonio_> so that you can install both ways
[10:42] <Tonio_> Lure: I can change that
[10:43] <Lure> Tonio_: we should try if Provides is enough for apt-get install to actuall install, otheriwse I think we should stick with your solution
[10:44] <Tonio_> Lure: what do you mean by "provides" ?
[10:45] <Lure> http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-utopia/packages/unstable/knetworkmanager/debian/control?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
[10:45] <Lure> Tonio_: ^^^
[10:46] <\sh> hmmm...since when is changing tabs in konversation not working?
[10:46] <Tonio_> \sh: 2 days, I did a fix for k-d-s
[10:46] <Tonio_> but raphink didn't upload
[10:47] <\sh> ah :)
[10:47] <Tonio_> \sh: you can use secondary option : ctrl + page up/down
[10:47] <\sh> too gnomish :)
[10:48] <Tonio_> Lure: that's not a response ;)
[10:48] <Lure> Tonio_: Provides means that the package also provides that package
[10:48] <Tonio_> Lure: even though it can sound stupid, that was a real question :) I didn't understood your previous phrase
[10:48] <uniq> http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-virtual
[10:49] <uniq> explains Provides:
[10:49] <Lure> uniq: thank you
[10:49] <Tonio_> Lure: well, I don't see the point, install network-manager-kde, and you'll get knetworkmanager
[10:49] <Tonio_> so you can just install knetworkmanager, that will just avoid installing a metapackage :)
[10:50] <Tonio_> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[10:50] <Tonio_> ok
[10:51] <uniq> it's used for mail-transport-agent and similar.
[10:51] <Lure> Tonio_: question is: if there is no real knetworkmanager package (just n-m-kde + Provides:knm), does apt-get install knetworkmanager work or not (to fullfl \sh requirement)
[10:52] <Tonio_> Lure: yes I see
[10:52] <\sh> this will work
[10:52] <\sh> with the provide, but knetworkmanager should be the real name...and not n-m-k, because nobody will find it
[10:53] <Tonio_> \sh: yes, but will apt-cache search be able to find both ?
[10:53] <Lure> Tonio_: yes
[10:53] <Tonio_> Lure: that sounds nice
[10:53] <\sh> yes
[10:54] <Lure> Tonio_: try apt-cache search powernowd
[10:54] <Lure> (powersaved Provides/Conflicts/Replaces powernowd)
[10:54] <\sh> the perfekt solution would be: if kubuntu-desktop then apt-get install network-manager installs knetworkmanager
[10:54] <Tonio_> yes I see
[10:55] <\sh> if not, only n-m-g
[10:55] <\sh> by the way...the knetworkmanager implemented my idea with a different (easier) approach....
[10:55] <Tonio_> \sh: is it possible to make conditionnal dependancies ?
[10:56] <\sh> so, this fix should be in the kde-svn...i'll check tomorrow if I can backport the patch
[10:56] <Lure> Tonio_: I think you can say x || y
[10:56] <Lure> \sh: Tonio_ will pull svn now and prepare a test package for consideration
[10:56] <\sh> that's not conditional....conditional would be to react if something is defined
[10:56] <Lure> if it will look good, we will do UVFe
[10:56] <\sh> cool
[10:57] <Tonio_> Lure: yes you can x||y
[10:57] <Lure> there are new icons I would like to see.. ;-)
[10:57] <Tonio_> but I don't see how can \sh proposal be done
[10:57] <Tonio_> if kubuntu-desktop then network-manager installs knetworkmanager
[10:58] <\sh> never....or in deb pkg format v99 :)
[10:58] <Lure> Tonio_: I am not sure if we need that: k-d depends (not yet ;-)) on n-m-kde (which provides knm) and thsi one depends on n-m
[10:59] <Tonio_> Lure: someone searching for network-manager will not find the kde component
[10:59] <\sh> if k-d will be installed...
[10:59] <Tonio_> so maybe the Provides idea is the best
[11:00] <Lure> Tonio_: I thik Provides is good enough: you can search with network-manager or knetworkmanager and you will always find the right package: network-manager-kde
[11:00] <\sh> the idea is, that you have a meta package with determins the installed desktop style and installs the required frontend...it's more a packaging thing :) has nothing to do with the deps
[11:01] <Lure> \sh: ok, I thought that you know some deb magic ;-)
[11:01] <\sh> package: knetworkmanager should provide network-manager-kde, not the other way around :)
[11:01] <Tonio_> \sh: ah, right ;)
[11:01] <Lure> \sh: why - I like n-m-kde as it is consitent with otker n-m packages
[11:02] <Lure> I thought your concern was only about finding the right package
[11:02] <Lure> and I also do not wond to be to different to debian in this regard
[11:02] <\sh> Lure: to be honest, I don't know who decided to use the name, but the maintainer don't know who peoples brains are working
[11:02] <Lure> s/wond/want/
[11:02] <\sh> s/who/how/
[11:03] <\sh> true story: i didn't even know that there was a kde frontend for nm
[11:03] <\sh> so I searched for knetworkmanager, never found it...
[11:03] <Lure> \sh: fyi, suse (=authors) also uses similar name for package networkmanager-kde - see http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/src/
[11:03] <uniq> now that it's provided by a package you will find the package that provides it in the search.
[11:04] <Lure> NetworkManager-kde actually
[11:06] <\sh> so, the normal plain user is searching the name of the application, he/she won't search for anything else..so the package should be named like the application and can provide a "namespace" which is shared between similar packages...I mean: mail-transport-agent and you have to choose between exim, postfix etc. the ideal way would be: install network-manager and decide what frontend you want to have, or the package determines the frontend b
[11:06] <\sh> and I'm just an old lazy fart and did: apt-get install knetworkmanager and got nothing :)
[11:07] <uniq> correct. but if only one package provides mail-transoport-agent it's installed automatically.
[11:07] <\sh> right, but we have at least
[11:07] <\sh> shermann@toshiba-laptop:~$ apt-cache search mail-transport-agent|wc -l
[11:07] <\sh> 18
[11:07] <uniq> You will get 'Note, selecting [package that provides]  instead of [package]
[11:08] <uniq> not for network-manager.
[11:08] <\sh> also correct....but when I write another frontend, or someone else will write a better gnomish one?
[11:09] <\sh> (now we will come to a philosophical discussion :))
[11:09] <uniq> then you must write a fronted that works :)
[11:11] <uniq> But I agree with you. The only reason for not doing it that way, is if debian does it the other way around.
[11:13] <\sh> so the question is more: do we have better ideas to implement something more intelligent, or do we follow the geekish debian way? ;) (bash hit smash....I said jehova ;))
[11:15] <uniq> I don't have any better ideas.
[11:16] <\sh> improving the deb format...did you read d-d about the problems of meta-packages and the other approach of tasksel?
[11:16] <Tonio_> hum I'm a bit embarrassed with latest version concerning the versionning
[11:17] <Tonio_> the actual is 0.1~r5031
[11:17] <Tonio_> I can't update with 0.99+svn04282006
[11:17] <\sh> that's a good thing for showing svn revisions...
[11:17] <Tonio_> \sh: what would you suggest ?
[11:17] <Tonio_> using revision number ?
[11:18] <Tonio_> \sh: revision number has now changes since knetworkmanager is in kde svn
[11:18] <Lure> Tonio_: I think ubuntu way is to use real version (0.1) and ~, while debian do not like ~, therefor they create 0.99 versions
[11:18] <Tonio_> yes but revision on kde svn is 535219
[11:18] <Tonio_> actual version is 5931
[11:19] <uniq> \sh: no i don't follow debian-devel anymore, waay to little time for that. Do you have a link/search word to find it?
[11:20] <Lure> Tonio_: this is pain, since they moved from Timo's private svn to novell svn which have huge revision numbers...
[11:20] <\sh> uniq: I think it was in the "Debian Light Desktop - meta package" thread...there were some nice remarks from joey about the problems / advantages of meta-packages and tasksel
[11:21] <Lure> maybe this is the reason why debian swittched to svn<date> as s > r
[11:21] <Lure> ;-)
[11:21] <\sh> I think i'll meet timo at linuxtag...
[11:21] <Lure> but they use the wrong date to alow proper sort :-(
[11:21] <Tonio_> Lure: yes that's a pain....
[11:23] <Lure> Tonio_: but debin version is 0.09+0.1r527269-1
[11:23] <Tonio_> Lure: we cannot use this too......
[11:23] <Lure> what if we switch to something like 0.1~svn-r527269?
[11:24] <Tonio_> well, I'm packaging and we'll decide the versioning later
[11:24] <Tonio_> Lure: that can do the job yes
[11:24] <Lure> then when 0.1 will be out we go with standard 0.1-1ubuntu1?
[11:26] <\sh> 1ubuntu0
[11:26] <\sh> or 0ubuntu1
[11:26] <\sh> not 1ubuntu0
[11:27] <\sh> just came home from karlsruhe
[11:27] <\sh> looks like i'm too tired
[11:27] <Tonio_> 0.1~svn-r527269-0ubuntu1
[11:27] <Tonio_> that's what I'm currently doing
[11:27] <Tonio_> and, Lure, I LOVE the new icons ;)
[11:27] <Tonio_> I would update only for this :)
[11:27] <Lure> Tonio_: ok...
[11:28] <\sh> uniq: sorry...it wasn't the debian light thread it was utnubu-desktop thread
[11:28] <Tonio_> Lure: what did you told me about \sh patches, is it obsolete ?
[11:28] <Tonio_> just to avoid spending time on looking the code :)
[11:28] <Lure> Tonio_: they added configure notifications which whould be more generic
[11:29] <Lure> drob \sh patch and you will see if you have new stuff in menu
[11:29] <Tonio_> Lure: yes, doing this
[11:31] <\sh> they implemented configure notifications..which is the easier approach and more likely to fit in knms design..without having a real kconfig section
[11:32] <Lure> \sh: so it will fix bug 41051?
[11:32] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 41051 in knetworkmanager "Setting of "Disable New Network Notifications" is not persistent" [Wishlist,Confirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/41051
[11:33] <Tonio_> Lure: what about po folders etc ? I don't have them on kde svn, should I grab novell svn instead ?
[11:33] <\sh> i didn't have the time to test the svn version...timo informed me about the patch last wednesday, dunno,
[11:33] <Tonio_> I must say I'm a bit lost, since there svn everywhere containing knetworkmanager components :)
[11:33] <\sh> Lure: but when this notification stuff is global, it should have a kconfig section attached and should fix the bug yes
[11:34] <Lure> Tonio_: interesting - I think there is only kde svn... novell svn was never public (just Timo had it's own AFAIK)
[11:34] <Tonio_> Lure: so we don't have po files anymore, and I assume translations will go in kde i18n
[11:34] <\sh> > btw, the repository for knetworkmanager, it's now in svn.kde.org or in
[11:34] <\sh> > novells svn?
[11:34] <\sh> Ist inzwischen svn.kde.org. Die Lokalisierungsdateien muessen wir nur

[11:34] <Tonio_> good for the future, but that's an issue actually
[11:35] <\sh> timo wrote, that the localizations are not in the kde svn right now, they have to move it from novells svn
[11:35] <\sh> this will happen after Suse Linux 10.1
[11:35] <Lure> Tonio_: we can get them from src.rpm...

[11:51] <Lure> I can send you the pakcage
[11:52] <uniq> you can use rpm2cpio
[11:52] <Tonio_> Lure: I have it that's nice :)
[11:52] <Lure> but \sh is right - you can use rpm directly (and not alien)
[11:52] <Tonio_> I just wanted a "without alien" method :)
[11:53] <\sh> i think it's the best solution :) with direct rpm...I don't trust alien
[11:54] <\sh> .oO( i don't trust rpms as well, since someone invented not standard compliant update-rpm packages)
[11:54] <ajmitch_> morning \sh
[11:54] <\sh> hey ajmitch_
[11:55] <uniq> 'rpm2cpio file.rpm|cpio -iumd' :]
[11:55] <uniq> going to bed. nite.
[11:59] <\sh> good night uniq
[12:00] <raphink> Lure: it's not usual to fix your previous changelog entries in the new upload but ok ...
[12:01] <crimsun> (sure you can, particularly if there are CVEs or grevious errors)
[12:01] <Lure> raphink: I know - it was late that day, so I even did not type my e-mail correctly... ;-)
[12:01] <raphink> Lure: it's ok ;)
[12:01] <raphink> sure crimsun :)
[12:03] <\sh> ok....going to bed as well...need some sleep...

[20:45] <MarkDude> thx :)


[13:32] <jchittum> FE80CC1E: newer versions of Ubuntu will get the backports of cloud-init as they roll through the SRU process. Moving forward to 18.04, 20.04, or 21.10 (still a daily build) can get you there. You can download our official ova's from cloud-images.ubuntu.com
[13:33] <jchittum> the Impish Indri (21.10) OVA will get things first. You can grab an OVA here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/impish/current/
[14:08] <FE80CC1E> Tried with Centos and updated the image with latest cloud-init and then exported the ovf and tried it again with Terraform and it did not work - the data is there in guestinfo but it does not seem to work.
[14:34] <akutz> FE80CC1E: Is it cloud-init 21.3?
[14:48] <gnafu> I recently installed an update to cloud-init on a CentOS 8 Stream host running on a virtual server with IONOS, and the new package introduced a significantly larger cloud.cfg than what I had.  I haven't done anything with cloud-init, so I'm wondering which config I should use.
[14:48] <gnafu> Old (current) cloud.cfg: https://paste.centos.org/view/f17f1cb4
[14:48] <gnafu> New cloud.cfg: https://paste.centos.org/view/cb68d3e4
[14:48] <gnafu> The new package installed the new cloud.cfg as cloud.cfg.rpmnew, so I have the choice of whether to accept the new one or keep what I have.
[14:49] <gnafu> Since I'm not familiar with cloud-init or whether IONOS uses it for anything, I'm not sure what the best path to take is.
[14:49] <gnafu> Do any of you know whether I should stick with what was (presumably) set up by my host when the server was created or use the new config?
[14:50] <gnafu> Or if I should even have cloud-init.service running?
[15:39] <akutz> FE80CC1E: I disconnected and did not see your response. Is it cloud-init 21.3?
[15:40] <akutz> Based https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23cloud-init.html, you have not responded. Please let me know the version when you get a chance, and we can go from there :)
[15:55] <FE80CC1E> You know what, I might have grab the wrong version - used the following not thinking about it.
[15:55] <FE80CC1E> This is the link I used  yum install https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo/releases/download/v1.1.0/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm
[16:00] <FE80CC1E> This was with Centos: https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo did not update the ubuntu trusty image as I cannot log in
[16:13] <FE80CC1E> just noticed that is you akutz - perfect!!
[16:14] <FE80CC1E> I can always do a webex and show you akutz if needed
[16:14] <akutz> Yes, that is the original version of the DS we just merged into cloud-init proper. I created the DS and maintained it for years, but finally decided enough people wanted it in cloud-init as a first-class DS that I created the pull request.
[16:15] <akutz> You used an RPM to install something into Ubuntu trusty? An RPM is a RedHat package manager, and Ubuntu uses the Debian packaging system.
[16:16] <akutz> Here is a project that uses Packer/Ansible to build an OVA with the datasource built in. You could manipulate this to build your own image - https://github.com/haproxytech/vmware-haproxy
[16:16] <FE80CC1E> no that was for CentOS, i can not log into Ubunut trusty once deployed as my understanding is that you need to pass the creds with something like cloud-init
[16:17] <akutz> CentOS doesn't have this DS built-in either.
[16:17] <akutz> Plus, if you already booted CentOS then cloud-init already ran. You have to build an image with this built in
[16:17] <akutz> See https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/tree/master/images/capi/packer/ova for examples of how to build multiple different distros with this DS built into it, including RHEL and CentOS
[16:18] <FE80CC1E> I updated using the link, did a clean, exported ovf, redeployed
[16:19] <akutz> What version of CentOS? Also, the RPM has not been updated it a while. I would install it using the curl bash method. If you are comfortable with testing things first, you could 1) install the DS, 2) clean, 3) shut down, 4) set the guestinfo properties, 5) boot and see if everything worked
[16:19] <FE80CC1E> same issue
[16:19] <akutz> That way you don't have to export to OVF in advance
[16:20] <FE80CC1E> CentOS was the latest
[16:20] <FE80CC1E> Do you have the right version link and will use curl to pull it.
[16:20] <akutz> Can you please try with one of the daily impish images to make sure you are setting the guestinfo correctly? The old DS is no longer supported in part because I did not have time to support it.
[16:20] <FE80CC1E> for cloud-init that is
[16:21] <FE80CC1E> I can do that akutz - can you send me the link to the image and latest cloud-init
[16:21] <akutz> I don't know if there is an RPM for cloud-init 21.3 yet. You can use the latest Impish images that someone linked you above.
[16:21] <akutz>   <jchittum> FE80CC1E: newer versions of Ubuntu will get the backports of cloud-init as they roll through the SRU process. Moving forward to 18.04, 20.04, or 21.10 (still a daily build) can get you there. You can download our official ova's from cloud-images.ubuntu.com
[16:21] <akutz> [08:33:37]  <jchittum> the Impish Indri (21.10) OVA will get things first. You can grab an OVA here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/impish/current/
[16:23] <rharper> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/cloud-init/cloud-init-dev/
[16:23] <rharper> but daily has failed for the last month
[16:24] <rharper> paride: ^
[16:24] <FE80CC1E> hmmm, does it work or no? I can pull this image: impish-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova
[16:26] <akutz> rharper: the PPA works. I validated the DS the other day using the PPA method.
[16:26] <rharper> for images, the daily build should be good enought, https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/impish/current/   there's an ova
[16:26] <akutz> (albeit the whole reconfigure thing)
[16:26] <akutz> But yes, I would start with the daily OVA that rharper and jchittum both linked above
[16:27] <akutz> I think one of the things confusing people is the cloud-init online docs for latest now include VMware as a DS, but it's not yet available anywhere. I wonder if we should add "since version ..." on the DS via some comments or something so the generated docs can highlight that?
[16:29] <rharper> the daily impish image has cloud-init with VMware enabled; so I'd expect todays image to work without a PPA update
[16:29] <akutz> Yep. My remark was because of your copr link more than anything.
[16:30] <rharper> we've discussed adding that to docs, but didn't want to maintain in repo a support matrix, as support is really handled by the image in which it's included ...   I don't have a good answer on how folks find cloud-init new enough that it supports the VMware datasource
[16:32] <FE80CC1E> so is this the right image "impish-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova" from here http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/impish/current/
[16:34] <rharper> it's likely the same, but I always follow the path of daily/server/<release>/current
[16:40] <FE80CC1E> I will try that version - i should be able to call it using Terraform and add cloud-config to guest-info and it should work D:
[16:41] <akutz> rharper: I'm not suggesting the CI docs indicate images where a DS is supported, just the version of CI where the DS first appeared.
[16:47] <rharper> akutz: it could, however, you still deal with backports which call themselves version 19.X but have backports from newer releases ... I'm certainly not against including that in a  docs/rtd/topics/datasources/vmware.rst
[16:56] <FE80CC1E> first pass no changes - will try again with sending the data as base64+gzip but this has failed in the past
[16:57] <FE80CC1E> sorry that shoud read NOT as base64+gzip
[16:58] <blackboxsw> looks like the errors on copr build are ppcle related missing dependencies like httpretty jinja2 jsonpatch etc<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
[16:58] <blackboxsw> specifically on epel7, not epel-8

[16:59] <FE80CC1E> that does not work either - corrupts the deployment
[17:13] <FE80CC1E> not working set encoding or not the image does not seem to pick up cloud-init guestinfo

[17:31] <FE80CC1E> let me know your thoughts akutz and rharper - frustrating stand still at this point
[17:37] <akutz> You're not specifying the encoding. Please see the documentation for how to do that. https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/vmware.html
[17:54] <FE80CC1E> I have done it multiple times with and without - no changes akutz
[17:55] <akutz> I've no idea. I have not tried with Terraform in a while.
[17:55] <FE80CC1E> Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/914a3fe0a67a50554fc9256682dcf9c9/image.png
[17:56] <FE80CC1E> the data is passed so terraform is just the deployment method - if I look in the advanced properites I can see guest info
[17:57] <akutz> https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo/issues/39#issuecomment-617304193
[17:58] <akutz> Looks like you're not setting it under extraconfig
[17:59] <akutz> Or now it looks like they use vapp properties
[17:59] <akutz> See https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs/resources/virtual_machine#deploying-vm-from-an-ovfova-template
[17:59] <FE80CC1E> uysing the following https://github.com/josenk/terraform-provider-esxi/blob/master/examples-0.13/05%20CloudInit%20and%20Templates/main.tf
[18:00] <FE80CC1E> i am using direct to ESXi
[18:01] <akutz> Are you using that provider or just as an example? because that repo, from what I can tell, is a custom provider and does not use the standard Terraform vSphere plug-in
[18:02] <akutz> I would file an issue at https://github.com/josenk/terraform-provider-esxi and ask the author why their provider is not working when you do follow their directions
[18:03] <FE80CC1E> not using vpshere just direct using ESXi unless they rebranded it
[18:03] <FE80CC1E> not using vcenter
[18:04] <FE80CC1E> and using the provider as mentioned
[18:04] <FE80CC1E> the link you provided is for vcenter
[18:04] <akutz> That's fine. But there is a Terraform provider for vSphere and there is this custom provider you're using. I know nothing about it, and I'm suggesting you file an issue with the provider repository for assistance.
[18:05] <akutz> By the way, AFAIK, https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs *should* work on ESX directly as long as you're not using a free version of ESXi.
[18:05] <FE80CC1E> but it is past that no? look at the image the data is passed to the instance
[18:06] <FE80CC1E> Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/6d22da17b94eb88526674ac959382fbd/image.png
[18:06] <FE80CC1E> i can give it a try
[18:07] <akutz> It may not work. Every thing I see in the official provider has a caveat that direct ESX is not supported, so I am not sure.
[18:07] <FE80CC1E> has anyone tried - i skeptical
[18:08] <akutz> My suggestion is to use this file as an example (https://github.com/haproxytech/vmware-haproxy/blob/master/hack/image-govc-cloudinit.sh), remove the snapshot bits from it, and then use it to set the CI data on the VM directly. See if that works. But either way, I am not a Terraform expert and may not be much help. I do not know that it is setting things correctly. I do know that the DS works, so there's something in the setup that must be incorrect. I
[18:08] <akutz>  wish I could provide more help.
[18:09] <akutz> Did you send the CI logs?
[18:09] <akutz> (after boot)?
[18:09] <FE80CC1E> does the image come with a user "cloud-user"
[18:10] <FE80CC1E> the ami I am using
[18:11] <FE80CC1E> what, I may have made progress
[18:11] <FE80CC1E> maybe
[18:12] <FE80CC1E> some of it might be working.....just tried cloud-user and it seem to let me in with no password using ssh
[18:13] <FE80CC1E> rerunnung with user kali being added with pub key
[18:19] <FE80CC1E> working now - added user kali to the user and it worked. now will tweak from there - thanks all
[18:24] <rharper> FE80CC1E: cool !
[19:42] <Osmium> Hi! I found that in recent versions of cloud-init a new VMware datasource has been added. How can I pass userdata via VMware vCloud Director?
[19:44] <Osmium> I see that it uses vmware-rpctool (https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/main/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceVMware.py#L179), but I don't understand what variables (what name of variables) I have to pass into VM...
[20:08] <blackboxsw> falcojr: I know it's late your time, but two questions on the ssh key PR https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/984/files
[21:14] <blackboxsw> falcojr: review in on Azure's NIC wait_for_online PR. I'm wondering generally if it might be worthwhile for use to add an option retries param on try_set_link_up for cases where we know the fabric may not yet be "live"  https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/main/cloudinit/distros/networking.py#L226
[21:15] <akutz> Hi Osmium, I am not sure how to pass data via vCloud Director, but if you want information on how to configure the Datasource, please see https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/vmware.html. Please keep in mind this is not part of a shipping version of cloud-init yet, and won't be until 21.3 is released.
[21:15] <blackboxsw> that said, we'd lose visibility to messaging the number of retries needed in Azure's case
[21:16] <falcojr> blackboxsw: yeah, it probably makes sense to add that
[21:19] <akutz> Osmium: As for vCD, this came up before at https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo/issues/60, but the reporter never responded to my feedback.
[21:26] <Osmium> Thank you akutz! After some digging I found that `vmware-rpctool 'info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv'` returns XML with properties I need. It looks like vCloud uses OVF transport, so I have to use OVF
[21:27] <akutz> Ack.
[21:28] <akutz> FWIW, that transport will eventually move into the new DS, which means you'll receive the post-transport features for free in the future. Not in CI 21.3, but hopefully sooner than later. For the features to which I'm referring, please see https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/vmware.html#features
[21:42] <falcojr> blackboxsw: I updated https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/984
[21:42] <blackboxsw> checlking
[21:47] <blackboxsw> falcojr: https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/984#pullrequestreview-735405555 +1 needs rebase and CI pass but ssh home dir perms can land
[21:49] <falcojr> cool, thanks!
[22:20] <blackboxsw> aswinr: thanks again for https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/990#pullrequestreview-735418135 will land it as soon as the latest CI run passes
[22:21] <aswinr> Thanks @blackboxsw for the review and comments!
[22:21] <blackboxsw> our plan will be to push the quarterly upstream release of cloud-init for version 21.3 to Monday Aug 23rd so we get a couple of daily build QA runs on it
[22:22] <blackboxsw> aswinr: no prob at all. we'll cut this release monday and get that out into Ubuntu Impish 21.10 and start the SRU process into Ubuntu 18.04 20.04 20.10 21.04 shortly thereafter
[22:23] <Osmium> akutz, finally I got it it working state! The key is to name variable not 'guestinfo.userdata', or 'userdata', but 'user-data'! Thanks to the source code https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/main/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOVF.py#L534
[22:23] <aswinr> Sounds good, thanks blackboxsw
[22:24] <Osmium> I'll send PR with documentation about OVF datasource and vCloud tomorrow. And make a blogpost on Habr :)
[22:53] <blackboxsw> merged Azure NIC pr https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/990

[09:48]  * laga waves
[09:48] <laga> i'll prepare a new aufs patch.
[09:49] <laga> with a current aufs release, unless someone objects. amitk complained that the patch i posted earlier still has some issues resolved in current aufs versions
[10:00] <wgrant> laga: Any chance of having CONFIG_AUFS_HINOTIFY enabled?
[10:04] <laga> wgrant: i'll look into it
[10:05] <wgrant> laga: Thanks. It's a bit annoying having to maintain a local patch for just that on production servers.
[10:23] <laga> hum. i think we could just apply the patch that fixes the deadlock issue to my patch. that'd save me some work :)
[10:57] <laga> how can i use ccache or distcc with the kernel build system? simply export CC?
[11:04] <alex_joni> yup
[11:05]  * alex_joni uses ccache usually
[11:06] <laga> great. i guess i wont need distcc then..
[14:49] <laga> hum
[14:50] <laga> aufs was added as a big monolothic patch cobbled together from an upstream checkout and several patches
[14:50] <laga> this is a huge PITA to work with
