pedro__ hi folks07:52.41 
chrisl Good morning07:56.21 
Robin_Watts Morning08:43.29 
  pedro__: Nice break?08:43.45 
pedro__ Robin_Watts: yeah, quite nice chilled place and great food08:49.46 
paulgardiner jogux_mac: rebranded versions of most of the splash screens are on paulg/master. I haven't yet processed the GD or OE versions because I have yet to find the source for the logos. They don't seem to be in the psd files. :-(09:09.38 
jogux_mac oh dear :-S09:09.56 
  OE?09:10.07 
Robin_Watts Are the GD/OE versions just tweaks on the existing ones?09:10.33 
jogux_mac I presume it's just the GD logo09:10.51 
  and I don't think we care about OE09:10.55 
paulgardiner Robin_Watts: the GD ones are just tweaks, and I can do it at the bitmap level, but it would be much more sensible to base it on vector graphics versions of the logo09:12.37 
  jogux_mac: Ah, I was hoping we wouldn't care about OE09:12.56 
  Hmmm, actually using GIMP, I can probably do the bitmap-level tweaks really very easily now I have the main versions converted09:14.17 
jogux_mac argh. my brain is infected again. it took me several attempts to figure out why e2label was giving command not found. I've typed it as ue2label several times.09:24.49 
Ziai hi all! :) 09:43.42 
  i am looking for latest gsdll32.dll / gsdll64.dll what is the best source?09:44.23 
kens the Ghostscript.com downlaods site Ziai09:48.32 
  The current version is 9.1409:48.49 
Robin_Watts Quality. MS VS2010 Professional doesn't include a profiler.10:38.53 
  but there is a free one you can download and install.10:39.07 
  Logic--.10:39.12 
kens No, I think you need the team edition for that10:39.13 
  ROFL10:39.25 
  MS has always been somewhat schizophrenic about its development tools10:40.01 
jogux_mac robin_watts : uh. awesome.10:40.24 
kens Seems its not integrated unless you buy ultimate edition, they run from the command line ?10:42.19 
Robin_Watts kens: Indeed10:44.18 
  So back to 2010 for me.10:44.25 
kens Yuck10:44.27 
Robin_Watts 2008 I mean.10:44.29 
norbertj Robin_Watts: I still have problems (at work) to use 'git cluster' (No supported authentication methods available: server sent: publickey).. So I use the clusterpush on peeves, but this is very tricky, when doing the edits local, push to origin, pull to peeves, clusterpush to regression .12:52.34 
  Robin_Watts: at least that is my understanding of the process.12:52.46 
Robin_Watts norbertj: can you ssh to casper from your work machine?13:28.51 
norbertj Robin_Watts: yes13:37.07 
Robin_Watts norbertj: In the msys git window, do: git remote -v and tell me what it says for cluster13:43.20 
  paulgardiner: Splash screens look OK to me. The Good Dynamics logo suffers a bit from a lack of sharpness, but it'll do.13:43.44 
paulgardiner Thanks Robin_Watts. Yeah, the originals lacked sharpness. I guess a bitmap-based source was used - quite possibly the one you found.13:45.29 
norbertj Robin_Watts: cluster regression@184.73.189.105:/home/regression/cluster/gitbridge/ghostpdl (fetch)13:45.41 
  Robin_Watts: (same for push).13:45.48 
  Robin_Watts: bmpcmp shows left = new, middle = old, right = diff?13:49.50 
kens2 Yes13:49.58 
Robin_Watts norbertj: Yes.13:50.08 
  norbertj: what ssh are you using for the cluster? plink or msys ssh ?13:50.33 
  (sorry, for the lag, several conversations going on at once)13:51.08 
norbertj Robin_Watts: kens2: could you have a quick look at my bmpcmp (e.g. 3 link from 0-6, job 5: tests/pcl/dcf.pcl.ppmraw.75.0) looks to me as a progression>13:51.14 
kens2 Sure, one moment13:51.30 
  dcf.pcl looks like a regresion, text goes missing13:52.15 
  at 600 dpi13:52.26 
Robin_Watts Yes, looks good to me.13:52.41 
norbertj putty ssh . If I do a plink casper, I get a beep and strange prompt.13:54.06 
kens2 OK yes hte 75 dpi ones look much better13:54.48 
norbertj kens2: at 600 dpi you get multiple tiles for the complete bitmap, and there is, due to my plexity-fix, a shift to the right (as can be seen in the 75dpi), so leftmost tiles are empty.13:55.07 
Robin_Watts norbertj: Hit Ctrl-D to get out of the SSH.13:55.27 
  Then do plink regression@184.73.189.105:13:55.38 
  and I'll bet you get the same error as before.13:56.05 
norbertj Robin_Watts: that's correct. No supported authentication available.13:56.48 
  Robin_Watts: plink norbert@184.73.189.105 is working (with beep and strange prompt, due to incorrect TERM setting I think).13:58.46 
Robin_Watts norbertj: OK, so start putty, and setup a connection to regression@184.73.189.105:13:59.19 
  Tell it what key to use.13:59.25 
  Then save that connection (as 'cluster' say).13:59.36 
  Then you should find that when you plink regression@184.73.189.105: it gets the key automatically.13:59.59 
  At least, I think that's how it works.14:00.07 
henrys norbertj: do you have an HP duplex reference? There are device differences.14:06.31 
norbertj Robin_Watts: from putty I can open an ssh to with user regression (with correct key), 14:07.02 
  henrys: I have the PCL5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual (quite old).14:07.26 
Robin_Watts norbertj: And you saved that connection?14:07.45 
  norbertj: Now try plink again?14:07.55 
norbertj Robin_Watts: If I plink -ssh regression@IP then the plink window shortly pops up with user: regression and then it's gone again.14:09.37 
Robin_Watts norbertj: Perfect.14:09.54 
  Now try: git cluster14:10.02 
  I think you'll find the ssh attempt is going through, and you're then being kicked out because you don't have permission to execute bash on that account.14:10.32 
norbertj Robin_Watts: on my workpc gives me still the same error (No supported authentication methods available).14:12.17 
Robin_Watts norbertj: echo $GIT_SSH14:13.23 
ray_laptop I got that (with putty) when I was not set for SSH14:14.10 
Robin_Watts Maybe we need to run pageant.14:14.28 
  ray_laptop: plink should default to ssh, I believe.14:15.13 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: I run paegant, but on the putty settings under SSH I also have attempt "kyeboard-interactive" auth (SSH-2)14:15.21 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: Why? No accounts on casper accept passwords.14:15.46 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: it goes by the saved settings for that @_____ "host"14:16.14 
  Robin_Watts: it's just what I have set14:16.33 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: Indeed. Hence why I told norbertj to create a connection and save it.14:16.42 
ray_laptop I "load" a known working connection, then change host name or IP (or appearance ...) and save it as the new one14:17.45 
norbertj Robin_Watts: echo $GIT_SSH -> /c/users/njj/bin/plink.exe14:17.57 
ray_laptop norbertj: that looks fine14:18.09 
norbertj Robin_Watts: pageant is running, with my (norbert) keys for peeves/casper 14:18.31 
ray_laptop (assuming that is actually where you have a copy of plink.exe)14:18.32 
Robin_Watts norbertj: The key you are using; is it protected with a passphrase ?14:18.53 
ray_laptop norbertj: on the "Connection" "Data" screen, you have your username ?14:19.35 
norbertj ray_laptop: Auto-login username: regression14:20.28 
ray_laptop no, you have to log in as yourself14:20.41 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: NO.14:20.46 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: regression has a special unique key on casper (for the servers to use)14:21.22 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: For the git push script, he needs to be setup to log in as regression.14:21.40 
  His git remote setup for cluster is correct.14:21.56 
  norbertj: In putty for your saved connection, the "hostname" entry on the "Session" tab should be "regression@184.73.189.105"14:23.17 
norbertj Robin_Watts: when adding keys to pageant I have to enter the passphrase. I changed hostname, but still the No supported auth...14:25.46 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: I use gitpush.sh all the time, and I don't use "regression" as the user.14:26.39 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: Well, I have it set up here with regression@ :)14:27.13 
ray_laptop and echo $CLUSTER_USER is "ray"14:27.35 
Robin_Watts norbertj: Is there a reason you are using an IP address rather than a host name ?14:28.36 
norbertj Robin_Watts: company firewall only knows the ip-address.14:29.02 
Robin_Watts norbertj: Firewall knows to let you through to 184.73.189.105, but presumably they haven't broken DNS?14:29.47 
  Can you ping ghostscript.com ?14:29.55 
norbertj Robin_Watts: no pinging to outside world.14:30.39 
  We have to go through a proxy, and for me they opened the peeves/casper ip-addresses.14:31.05 
  henrys: did you have a look at my bmpcmp ? Looking at the 75dpi is easier to grasp.14:33.40 
henrys norbertj: no I'll look. I am concerned you don't have a reference. I distinctly remember bug fixes about duplexing that supported devices contrary to the spec. I'm afraid we are going to undo those changes. They are somewhere in bugzilla.14:36.06 
  norbertj: this networking problem should result in an error your system administrator can see in the logs if it isn't on our side. Yes?14:36.54 
  I assume Robin_Watts has already looked in /var/log/* for problems on our end.14:37.44 
norbertj henrys: I think so.14:38.04 
  henrys: first Q14:38.16 
Robin_Watts henrys: i have not.14:39.01 
norbertj henrys: where can I get the HP plexity reference?14:39.04 
  henrys: when I print the dcf.pcl file it looks ok (with my plexity mod).14:43.42 
henrys norbertj: I've always used the hp manual but then we had a bug fix where the device clearly wasn't in line with the spec and we accepted it. I need to search for that.14:44.40 
  you missed one brace in the patch other than that I'm fine with it norberj14:45.06 
  norbertj: ^^^14:45.15 
norbertj henrys: if (pcs->paper_source != i) { I'll correct) it.14:46.38 
henrys Robin_Watts: well I see lots of stuff for user "regression" in auth.log14:46.39 
  somebody is repeatedly submitting a public key for regression14:50.18 
Robin_Watts henrys: Sorry, I can't give this my full attention at the moment. I have a customer rush on, and stuff is not playing nicely.14:51.03 
henrys Robin_Watts: no problem.14:51.15 
norbertj henrys: just pushed the plexity to golden.14:55.39 
  henrys: going home now.14:56.01 
henrys norbertj: okay thanks14:56.08 
ray_laptop henrys: you'll see lots of user "regression" in the log from the cluster nodes as they get jobs from the cluster master (they all log in as "regression")15:22.19 
henrys ray_laptop: no somebody is trying a regression login constantly I don't think it has anything to do with norbert - comcast probably marcosw with some cron thing awry15:23.32 
mvrhel_laptop good morning15:23.34 
henrys mvrhel_laptop: welcome back15:23.50 
kens2 Morning mvrhel_laptop15:23.52 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: hi15:24.12 
mvrhel_laptop thanks. 15:24.13 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: good to have you back.15:24.21 
henrys ray_laptop: sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log15:24.29 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: I was actually near you the whole time, but did not turn on my computer once15:24.43 
  we were in disney15:24.52 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: great ! Hope you had a good time. The weather was (characteristically) good15:25.16 
Robin_Watts henrys: Every minute, each regression node ssh's in to touch a file.15:25.27 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: yes we melted the first couple days15:25.39 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: I hope nobody got too sunburned15:25.43 
mvrhel_laptop no we are heavy sunscreen users. had to ride a lot of the water rides...15:26.12 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: right -- that's how they maintain "up" status15:26.23 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: Indeed.15:26.37 
mvrhel_laptop I was amazed at what they did in cars land. That was not there the last time I went15:26.40 
henrys Robin_Watts: how does that explain the tail -f report?15:27.17 
ray_laptop we haven't gone to disney in over a year. We have season passes at knotts and it is closer and we have a parking pass (also we have the "soak city" pass)15:27.39 
henrys I see repeated logins from the same ip15:28.08 
tor8 chrisl: I've uploaded mupdf release downloads to casper, do you want to link to them on the downloads page?15:28.42 
Robin_Watts 98.207.109.212 is apparently in fremont CA.15:28.58 
  So I'd guess it's the borg in Marcosw's garage15:29.14 
  yes marcos.ghostscript.com is 98.207.109.21215:29.40 
chrisl tor8: sure, I'll do that now, but I'll leave the "commercial" release until tomorrow15:29.48 
henrys Robin_Watts: oh that makes sens sort of … we should be getting these auth.log errors15:29.57 
Robin_Watts Marcos has how many cluster nodes in his garage now? 12 ?15:29.59 
tor8 chrisl: no rush15:30.00 
henrys "Bad prime description…"15:30.28 
chrisl tor8: other that "public image", I'm not sure there's any point to the mupdf commercial releases......15:30.33 
  s/that/than15:31.04 
ray_laptop and who is 50.240.204.222 15:31.15 
Robin_Watts Montery CA.15:31.43 
  Monterey CA.15:31.51 
ray_laptop yeah, but that's not marcos (and keeps flagging POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT)15:32.52 
tor8 chrisl: yeah. hence my "no rush" :)15:33.08 
  henrys: Robin_Watts: okay, so the 1.4 windows binary and source tarball are live.15:33.55 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: I didn't think he had 12 servers, but a couple of his servers are BIG15:33.58 
tor8 question: how dead do we kill the google code page now that we don't use it for downloads anymore?15:34.06 
Robin_Watts ray_laptop: Each uber server is 4 nodes.15:34.53 
ray_laptop Robin_Watts: I didn't realize he had them divided up.15:36.00 
chrisl tor8: I couldn't find out how to edit the google code project page to say "this is dead, go here....." :-(15:36.27 
Robin_Watts AIUI, each one of those 2U servers is actually 4 separate ubuntu instances, each with 12 cores or something.15:36.52 
tor8 chrisl: the best thing I've found is to point the "tabs" to wiki pages that say "go here instead"15:39.50 
chrisl tor8: Hmm, I don't think I could find a way to edit *anything* other than the file uploads....15:41.21 
tor8 do you have an Administer tab when you visit the project?15:41.51 
chrisl Ugh, I'll have to sign in.....15:42.28 
tor8 I just changed the mupdf project's download page to point to mupdf.com instead of showing the list15:42.49 
chrisl Hmm, no, I don't have an Administrator tab - but I am listed as an "Owner"15:43.33 
tor8 Administer -> Tabs and then either check the hide checkbox or add "Downloads" to Downloads: to replace the tab with a wiki page15:43.50 
  chrisl: that's odd15:43.57 
  might be that ray needs to grant administer rights15:44.12 
chrisl Oh, wait, I may have used the wrong google account15:44.14 
  tor8: aha, got it - too many google accounts :-(15:44.58 
henrys ray_laptop, Robin_Watts : I really hate this cron stuff - it just loads the logs files so it's impossible to find stuff. I guess we can search for norbert's ip in the auth log when we next see him, if it doesn't rotate out before the grep ;-)15:46.47 
Robin_Watts henrys: Yes. It's a question of me being able to dedicate time to it.15:47.35 
henrys Robin_Watts: well I wish we could do the clusters differently. Both my machines have the same problem, very hard to notice or diagnose when something goes wrong.15:49.09 
Robin_Watts henrys: Indeed.15:49.22 
  If I'd been writing the cluster, each node would have kept a permanent connection to the master.15:50.19 
  but maybe I'd have hit problems that marcosw avoided.15:50.37 
chrisl That wouldn't work as the nodes and master have dynamic IP addresses15:50.58 
henrys chrisl: yea the dynamic ip is the issue without that either it could be connected or we could use broadcast when the code changes not poll every minute15:53.38 
chrisl I wouldn't have thought we'd need to log every poll, though - or possibly, have a specific "cluster.log", for it15:55.07 
Robin_Watts chrisl: The master has a static IP I believe.15:55.24 
chrisl Robin_Watts: casper is master? I thought it could change on reboots15:55.49 
Robin_Watts And even if it had a dynamic IP, we have a dynamic dns system set up.15:56.04 
henrys chrisl: I get an log for the cron every minute on my local machines then on the server auth.log gets a ssh entry15:56.04 
chrisl henrys: hmm, okay, I'm not sure there's a way round that :-(15:57.01 
henrys maybe we should at least look at static ip pricing16:00.45 
chrisl Possibly I'm wrong about casper. But rewriting the cluster would be a *big* job16:01.40 
Robin_Watts yes, not suggesting we rewrite the cluster.16:01.55 
paulgardiner tor8: I'm just wondering if I might have been misleading Raed. Do the MuPDF build files provide for building with or without openssl. A quick look has made me wonder whether now we always build with it.16:07.40 
chrisl wonders why Raed cares.......16:08.21 
kens2 Presumably we don't run a web server in MuPDF< and therefore don't respond to Heartbeat packets ?16:09.21 
Robin_Watts chrisl: because he's thinking "oh, heartbleed, I should upgrade everything that uses openssl"16:09.27 
ray_laptop chrisl: he probablt wants to know if we are susceptible to heartbleed16:09.37 
chrisl So a simple "don't worry about it" should suffice, then16:10.39 
tor8 paulgardiner: we build with openssl if it is present in the thirdparty directory or pkg-config can find libcrypto16:33.13 
paulgardiner tor8: okay thanks.16:33.52 
tor8 paulgardiner: we don't have a way of turning it off other than editing the makefiles though, we might want to add a HAVE_OPENSSL macro that can be set to "no" like our other optional features16:34.57 
paulgardiner Yeah might be best.16:35.49 
tor8 paulgardiner: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=260281616:36.25 
paulgardiner tor8: quite. The trouble is, I'm not sure that creating an alternative that is less than 300,000 lines is possible. There are just too many standards all intermingled.16:42.02 
  tor8: am I right in thinking that the final link will drop openssl if the app makes no use of the signature support? We were careful to use openssl only from the signature extensions16:45.16 
henrys kens2: is alexander's bounty work ready to commit?16:45.45 
  kens:he sent in the CLA and I'm not sure if he is waiting for us to commit 16:46.50 
Robin_Watts paulgardiner: If he builds mupdf and never calls the digital signature stuff, will openssl be dropped on link?17:06.18 
paulgardiner Robin_Watts: that's what I was just asking tor8. I'd imagine so17:31.53 
kens2 henrys sorry was off eating. I made one small addition to his code which frees the memory, otherwise its fine.18:05.00 
  henrys I can commit it at an time, I've already cluster tested it18:05.19 
Robin_Watts Morning marcosw. Thanks for bringing fermis back up.18:16.53 
  Something is unhappy still though.18:17.03 
marcosw Robin_Watts: I'm surprised it's up. I just rebooted it after enabling remote console access and didn't expect it to be reachable.18:17.44 
Robin_Watts The VM I am working on keeps giving backtraces in it's vnc console :(18:17.47 
marcosw Robin_Watts: that doesn't sound like anything I can help you with :-(18:19.41 
Robin_Watts Trying a different VM to see if it's a VM specific problem.18:20.05 
mvrhel_laptop bbiaw18:31.31 
henrys kens2: sounds good.19:01.41 
kens2 OK I'll commit first thnng tomrorw19:01.54 
henrys Robin_Watts: sorry just noticed log into Skype message - must have been this morning (my morning)19:06.57 
crazy6 So, I'm frustrated enough with Powerpoint's inability to use postscript graphics that I came here. Has anyone come across any plugins or workflows that make PS/EPS in powerpoint possible?19:17.57 
  I ask here since, as I understand it, such a plugin would most like really just be calling ghostscript in the background.19:18.16 
henrys crazy6:windows mac?19:28.35 
crazy6 henrys: Oh, on Windows. I think Macs do actually support postscript at a system level, thus it works properly in PP & Word?19:29.22 
  And for what it is worth, I can put a PS file into powerpoint, but it seems to render terribly.19:29.53 
henrys crazy6: one way would be to convert it to pdf then view it in acrobat and copy paste selected graphics. I don't know if you can copy past in the acroread - the free adobe product.19:31.35 
  crazy6: other than that use ghostscript to convert the postscript to a format pp can digest. I don't know much about it … ghostscript stack overflow may be of help19:32.56 
crazy6 henrys: ah, neat, let me try the acrobat route (we do have Acrobat X license here on campus)19:33.24 
  When a PS is included in a latex file, ultimately making it's way out to a PDF, is it really just a series of translations of vector drawing languages?19:35.09 
henrys pdflatex does not support eps19:40.18 
  but if you go to postscript yes it is all postscript - then you have to use ps2pdf but I think most folks use pdflatex these days19:42.18 
crazy6 Hrm, yes, I do use pdflatex via TexWorks, and a package that ends up calling epstopdf, which looks like it is bundled wth MikTeX19:52.34 
  Someone should write a plugin that converts PS files in-situ in powerpoint, rasterizing them at an adjustable resoltion, so it's *like* PP can support them natively... I think that's a bit beyond me, so I better try to convince someone here to attempt it.19:59.32 
fatih hi 20:05.39 
  i want to ask a question about mupdf20:05.50
