00:03.39 jordisayol brlcad: can you please give me some info about rpm failure reports?
00:38.26 jordisayol I have to go
00:38.42 jordisayol brlcad: bye bye
00:38.49 brlcad ok
00:38.52 brlcad sorry, got distracted
00:38.56 brlcad the reports were here
00:39.05 brlcad 12:16 < xFirex_> Hello Everyone, I have a problem with BRLCad brlcad-7.20.4-0.fedora.i386.rpm in Fedora 16
00:39.08 brlcad 12:16 < xFirex_> Getting this error when trying to start it "/usr/brlcad/bin/mged: error while loading shared libraries: libtclcad.so.19: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "
00:39.31 brlcad then another individual a little while later12:35 < Konopen> Hello Everyone, I have problem running brlcad 7.20.4-0 in fedora 16
00:42.23 jordisayol brlcad: do you know if they re-login after install?
00:42.32 brlcad onope
00:42.40 brlcad ill ask if they come back
00:42.54 jordisayol brlcad: paths need re-login to be loaded
00:43.00 brlcad do you modify ldconfig or something?
00:43.41 jordisayol nop, i just modify the path and manpath env variables
00:44.08 brlcad hm, interesting
00:44.52 brlcad okay, well if someone else reports same error we'll see if that does the trick :)
00:45.00 brlcad good to know, thanks
00:45.18 brlcad would be good note for the release notes if it wasn't included
00:45.19 jordisayol wait a moment....
00:49.37 jordisayol brlcad: the script executed during the installation is: brlcad/misc/debian/brlcad.postinst and when removed brlcad/misc/debian/brlcad.postrm , that's all
00:49.46 brlcad k
00:51.03 brlcad under traditional gnu ld behavior, that shouldn't affect a runtime error loading shared libraries
00:51.24 brlcad but I know there have apparently been some major changes to the behavior of ld recently on linux
00:52.44 jordisayol tomorrow I'll create a virtual machine with fedora 16 . is important the bit, 32 or 64?
00:52.56 brlcad no idea, they weren't specific
00:53.28 jordisayol well, I don't think so
00:54.17 jordisayol ok, tomorrow i'll tell you something about
00:55.12 jordisayol brlcad: goog night for me :-) near 2 o'clock here
00:55.19 brlcad cya :)
00:55.24 jordisayol bye

13:15.22 jordisayol brlcad: ping
15:18.14 ``Erik O.o
15:19.16 ``Erik jordisayol: personal, or something that someone else can help with?
15:19.46 jordisayol ``Erik: hello!
15:20.31 ``Erik this laptop isn't letting me scroll up right, you're doing something with a debain leenewx variant?
15:20.43 ``Erik debian, even :)
15:21.16 ``Erik and something about fedora, even... but still linux
15:21.19 jordisayol No, is just that yesterday brlcad toll me that some fedora 16 users experienced problems with our rmp packages
15:21.48 ``Erik I vagually recall something about some sigill stuff, is that it
15:22.27 jordisayol well, he says something about the shared libraries
15:22.41 jordisayol missing for mged command
15:23.19 ``Erik hm, you'll have to help me help you... the typical issue is requiring dev libs (.so) instead of user libs (.so.0.0)
15:23.26 ``Erik in the link stage
15:23.40 ``Erik (linux uses .so, right?)
15:24.17 jordisayol yes, but this problem do not happen on fedora 15 and previous releases
15:24.25 ``Erik if you do, um, the command to show link deps on the mged binary, that'll tell you a lot
15:25.07 jordisayol the case is that today I've installed fedora 16 (64-bit) on a virtualbox, and in this clean linux, the mged properly works without problems
15:25.48 ``Erik and 64b is the issue they complain about? or 32b?
15:25.55 brlcad ``Erik: you read up on the penny arcade lashing? hilarious
15:26.00 brlcad jordisayol: pong :0
15:26.03 jordisayol brlcad don't know
15:26.08 ``Erik brlcad: ocean marketing? yeah...
15:26.13 jordisayol hello brlcad
15:26.14 brlcad hehe
15:26.22 ``Erik talk about putting a foot in ones mouth
15:26.33 ``Erik "bah, I can get into pax, who is this gabe guy?
15:26.50 jordisayol hmmm, I already take lunch today....
15:27.22 ``Erik brlcad: bz->crit ?
15:27.42 brlcad good idea actually
15:28.07 brlcad been catching up on mails and commits, but this would be a good time
15:28.22 ``Erik over a year coming
15:28.52 ``Erik I put up an ssl httpd on crit, that might... complicate things.
15:28.59 jordisayol brlcad: I've installed rpm for fedora on a fresh installed fedora 16 in virtualbox, and there is not any problem, even without re-login, just typing the full path /usr/brlcad/bin/mged
15:29.29 brlcad jordisayol: okay, that's all that can be done for now then
15:29.44 jordisayol brlcad: yes
15:29.49 ``Erik jordisayol: can you pastebin ldd path/to/mged to see if there's an dev vs user lib issue?
15:29.51 brlcad if it can't be reproduced and the person isn't here, we'll just have to wait for a follow-up report if any
15:30.15 ``Erik (it's ldd, right? so used to otool -L)
15:30.19 jordisayol ok, just a moment
15:30.49 jordisayol yes, it is
15:32.27 brlcad what I suspect is happening is there's some incompatible library already installed on their fedora system
15:32.45 brlcad that or it was a partial/failed rpm download
15:33.10 brlcad from the report, libtclcad.so.19 fails to load
15:33.23 ``Erik if this is the sigill, it's a damaged binary, damaged cpu, or cpu spec'd for a different arch (686 vs 586 using 686 only opcodes)
15:33.29 brlcad that may simply be the first library attempting to be loaded
15:33.33 ``Erik illegal instruction and all
15:34.11 brlcad it wasn't getting that farb
15:34.17 brlcad far even
15:34.22 brlcad 12:16 < xFirex_> Getting this error when trying to start it "/usr/brlcad/bin/mged: error while loading shared libraries: libtclcad.so.19: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "
15:34.54 ``Erik ah, my bad, thought I saw a sigill convo and this was pertinant... this laptop won't let me page up to read backlog :)
15:36.33 ``Erik brlcad: I took the day off, I want crit to get to 'stable' asap, I don't want to be responsible for other biz's and such, but will aid how I can... lets DO THI! YEAH! </joeswansonfromfamilyguy>
15:38.38 jordisayol brlcad: here you have it: http://paste.debian.net/150390/
15:40.28 jordisayol brlcad: partial/failed is very unprovable because as rpm are compresses gz files, they cannot uncompress.
15:41.22 brlcad yeah, so libtclcad is the first lib listed there
15:41.54 ``Erik my guess would be that the issue is because someone installed to somewhere other than /usrbrlcad
15:42.05 brlcad that could be
15:42.31 brlcad whew, that mystery is solved
15:43.11 jordisayol well, i can test this, by installing one by one on the system and testing mged. but this requires some time
15:43.26 ``Erik can it be scripted?
15:43.29 brlcad jordisayol: if you like, but I wouldn't worry about it
15:43.43 ``Erik machine time is cheap, human time is expensive :)
15:44.00 brlcad it's all speculation without that user -- more time effective to just wait for someone else to report an issue since it can't be easily reproduced
15:44.07 jordisayol brlcad: can you make a "short" list of the probably libraries from the list?
15:44.29 brlcad it seemed like more than that given two people reported a failure within a couple hours for fed16 but could have just been coincidence
15:44.47 brlcad still all speculation though
15:44.55 jordisayol or just the same user loget with different nicks
15:45.17 jordisayol loed*
15:45.35 jordisayol arggg! "logged"
15:45.59 ``Erik smells like someone thought they were smarter than they were and screwed up being "clever"
15:46.12 brlcad jordisayol: looks like they were the same person, same ip
15:46.21 jordisayol hehe
15:46.23 brlcad so yeah, don't worrya bout it ;)
15:48.56 jordisayol well, if this "schizophrenic" user re-login, then we can continue the research
15:49.18 ``Erik brlcad: bz lacks modssl and modproxy, which is why i'm reliant on crit. I'm using app servers behind modproxy, thus my interest in migration :) think we can knock it out before the newyear?
15:49.56 brlcad possibly
15:50.05 brlcad quite likely even
15:51.03 ``Erik jordisayol: yeah, I'd call it pebcak, awesome that you're so aggressive in making it right :)
15:52.43 jordisayol well, I don't know what "pebcak" is, but thank you :-)
15:53.52 ``Erik "problem exists between computer and keyboard"
15:54.46 jordisayol wow! i'll keep this sentence, hehe
15:55.26 brlcad ~pebcak
15:55.26 ibot methinks pebcak is Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard
15:55.28 ``Erik <-- marks jordisayol down as a hero of open source software maintenance O.o :)
15:55.35 ``Erik er, chair and keyboard, my bad
15:55.55 jordisayol I think ``Erik is right :-/
15:55.58 brlcad usb isn't likely the problem ;)
15:56.08 ``Erik din5, beeyotch
15:56.18 ``Erik sometimes ps2
15:57.58 ``Erik brlcad: ponder... ssh tunnel for 3306 to new machine, migrate mysqldb, test on various hosted sites, then start moving sites?
15:58.21 ``Erik (or is there an acceptable downtime window?)
15:59.15 brlcad downtime is acceptable if it's less than a few hours
15:59.21 brlcad tunnel would work too
16:00.46 ``Erik I don't know the write rates of the variou sites, so I can't plot optimal migration
16:01.29 ``Erik but I do want you to stop paying for that old clunker ;)
16:02.22 brlcad this biggest one should be no longer active (bzflag's list service)
16:03.41 ``Erik personally, I'd bias impact based on $$'s... a free service can take several hours downtime... a day or two, even
16:03.43 brlcad I'll get working on moving our site today, that should at least get things going again
16:04.00 ``Erik it's those $'s that scare me
16:04.01 brlcad when was the last fs sync?
16:04.10 ``Erik iuhho
16:04.25 ``Erik I don't know if this machine has ever been synced
16:05.16 ``Erik ya starting one up?
16:05.19 brlcad .bz is technically a free service to those $$ users, so that's why a few hours is still acceptable .. just within reason shouldn't be more than a couple hours tops and that's with things going horribly wrong
16:05.47 brlcad i'll check on it, don't want to migrate everything but user data is a good one to start with
16:06.04 ``Erik I'm an rsync newb, so if you know it, I'll step back
16:06.15 ``Erik otherwise, I'll pull up tutorial sites and start, let me know
16:06.51 ``Erik I had some c&p scripts on the old crit, but no understanding
16:09.16 ``Erik http://www.solitechgmbh.com/2010/03/06/using-rsync-for-quick-server-migartion/ seems useful
16:09.20 brlcad you can sync the passwd/group files
16:12.55 ``Erik done
16:13.05 brlcad gettings an fs manifest, I'll sync user data
16:13.37 brlcad is the sslified apache from ports or custom install?
16:14.57 ``Erik ports
16:15.07 brlcad great
16:15.12 ``Erik lacks a primary, is all for vhost
16:15.43 ``Erik well, it has a self-signed for primary, rather
16:16.10 ``Erik "namecheap" was offering a free year of ssl for one name, so I grabbed one for elfga.com
16:16.26 brlcad that's fine, nothing else using ssl obviously :)
16:16.40 ``Erik they're also offering discounts and donations to eff for people who move from godaddy after the sopa mess
16:16.55 ``Erik $10/yr for a basic cert
16:17.01 ``Erik or so
16:17.41 brlcad another task you could take up, setting up intrusion detection/monitoring and stats
16:18.18 ``Erik I'm not sure what all you have set up, I've been manually setting the ipfw rules
16:18.26 brlcad my manual scripts are rather old school now .. I'd imagine there has to be some better tools in ports that could be set up
16:18.34 brlcad or even just migrating what's there, but that's not needed
16:19.27 brlcad basically "figure something out" so some measure is in place, ideally something that firewalls based on some profile of bad actvitivity
16:19.43 ``Erik we're not running telnetd, so there's no remote issue... I really don't know heh :(
16:19.56 ``Erik what's the, uh, auto-ipfw deny script on bz?
16:20.02 ``Erik I'll migrate it as a first stage
16:20.19 ``Erik and we can todo a better solution
16:21.22 ``Erik (I mean, no default accounts, no simple pw's, I don't think the risk profile is that high righ tnow)
16:21.47 ``Erik ack, lappy assploded
16:22.44 ``Erik defcon slides say "don't be stupid with setup"
16:22.58 brlcad /etc/sbin and /etc/crontab have the juicy details
16:23.23 brlcad but you'll have to go through each crontab one at a time to make sure it still is applicable for crit
16:23.41 brlcad potential path and tool changes, safeguard changes, etc
16:23.51 brlcad nothing terribly complicated, should be obvious
16:24.03 ``Erik oh, your logging stuff, I've no idea what's up with that stuff
16:24.07 ``Erik go set that up
16:24.22 brlcad that can be later
16:24.33 ``Erik ok, crit has been unlogged so far, fwiw
16:24.47 brlcad knows
16:24.49 ``Erik pheer my botnets
16:25.05 brlcad so that's why you're logged in 15 times
16:26.47 ``Erik don't make me slap your fro
16:27.42 ``Erik (I believe this is the first time I've seen bz below 1.0 load)
16:29.24 brlcad http://www.zazzle.com/dont_tease_my_fro_tshirt-235666363645812532
16:34.02 ``Erik http:/crit.brlcad.org:3000
16:37.16 brlcad don't know what to make of that
16:38.55 ``Erik did it not work?
16:40.07 brlcad I get a page, but have no idea what "Advertising Testes" are .. sounds sticky
16:40.52 ``Erik that's bottom goop, it's basically a 'todo' list on steroids, or a project management suite stripped down
16:41.15 ``Erik add locations, add tasks to locations, ...
16:41.37 brlcad what about locationless tasks? :)
16:41.51 ``Erik location called "anywhere" ;) I have one called "internet"
16:42.47 ``Erik (seriosuly, tell me what sucks, obviously the landing page pitch sucks... but learn and adjust, right?)
16:44.01 brlcad having to add a location sucks :)
16:44.35 ``Erik "better default settings", roger
16:45.06 ``Erik home and work, big honkin' delete buttons, yeh
16:46.37 brlcad after I created a location, I could add a task but then I can't get back to that page if I merely start over .. back to creating a location
16:46.43 brlcad i.e, better navigation
16:47.34 ``Erik hroger, I've been unhappy with the default rails navigation myself
16:47.37 brlcad when I recreated the same location, now it lists twice on the tasks page (along with a handful of other locations I didn't add)
16:47.45 ``Erik uniq opt, ok
16:48.04 ``Erik bah, other locs/
16:48.18 ``Erik ok, hold up... is the basic premise something you might use
16:48.21 ``Erik ?
16:49.32 brlcad dunno
16:49.39 brlcad utility of task tracking software is mostly dependant on usability (and some on flexibility)
16:50.03 ``Erik the idea is a todo list with deps, so things that are not readt are not listed
16:50.06 brlcad it's hard to get that usability down to dead-simple obvious and still be flexible enough for a given purpose
16:50.41 ``Erik (this is a throw-away to help me learn rails, btw)
16:52.29 ``Erik yeah, actually, I wrote this to help me, and I haven't used it... imma call it :)
16:52.49 brlcad heh
