rburtonafternoon all02:49
Keybukevening02:50
jdubwelcome :)02:50
rburtonnot entirely related to warty, but if grub-install takes 5 minutes to install, is this a sign that i should just retry the install :)02:50
seb128no02:50
seb128rburton here 02:50
seb128nooooo02:50
seb128:)02:50
rburtonross was taken  looonnnng ago02:50
Kamionsounds like it's trying to access the floppy maybe?02:51
seb128welcome rburton 02:51
Kamioncan you poke about on tty2 to find out what it's doing?02:51
rburton"probing bios devices this may take a long time" for 8 minutes now02:51
rburtongrub --batch --no-floppy --device-map=/boot/gr[terminal ends] 02:51
rburtoncalled by grub-install --no-floppy (hd0)02:51
Kamionugh, sounds like a grub expert is required02:52
Kamion(do we have one here? :-))02:52
jdublifeless is a bit of a grub02:52
lifeless?02:53
lifelesswassup02:53
lifelessgrub-install should be about 2 seconds lok.02:53
lifelesscan cat /boot/grub/device.map02:54
rburton(hd0) /dev/hda02:57
rburtonthis is in d-i still, so /target/boot/ of course02:57
lifelesswell, that looks about right.03:00
lifelessanything in dmesg ?03:00
Kamion(tty4)03:00
rburtontty4 just says info: grub things03:01
rburtondmesg  has ntfs/reiserfs warnings about the device not being what it expects03:01
rburtonaaaah03:02
jdubedd will turn up here soon too, btw03:02
rburtoni ran grub-install myself in strace and it appears to be looping on a cp03:02
seb128jdub: should we rename this chan #gnome-hackers ? :)03:02
jdubheh03:02
rburtonit stat64's cp,  clones and then gets sigchld03:03
rburtonright, waitpid(-1) is blocking03:03
=== rburton considers rebooting and trying again
=== Kamion considers strace-udeb
rburtoni'm surprised strace is on this iso03:04
Kamionit'll just be a .deb, not a .udeb03:04
Kamionstrace is in our base system03:04
rburtonyeah, i just realised that03:04
Kamionyou might be able to unpack and use it though ...03:04
Kamionudpkg -i might even be able to manage it03:04
rburtonrebooting to try again :)03:05
rburtoninteresting03:09
rburtongrub-install worked with / being ext3, failed when it was xfs03:10
rburtoni thought d-i installed the relevant kernel for your machine. i have a p4 and its installed the 386 kernel03:11
rburtonholy crap a lot of stuff gets installed by default :)03:13
rburtonYOU ARE INSTALLING VIM ON A BOX OF MINE03:13
rburton;)03:13
Kamionyes, grub needs to be updated to do special things with xfs03:13
jdubrburton: more like osx than debian ;)03:13
rburtonas long as i can prune it again without some meta-package getting in the way i'm okay03:14
jdubyeah, you can03:14
Kamionshould be fine, we don't generally use metapackages for installation03:14
Keybukis just a task that gets installed, isn't it?03:14
rburtoni wonder why i pressed http instead of cdrom... 03:14
rburtoncurses03:14
Kamionaptitude -y install '~tdesktop03:14
Kamion'03:14
=== rburton wonders what is using python-musicbrainz
jdubrburton: we have a selection of python modules available for great justice (and python development)03:17
Keybukand because Python gives Mark a woody03:17
lifelessout two main weapons...03:17
jdubKeybuk: i'm not sure if we're meant to talk about that publically yet.03:18
Keybukjdub: and I thought we were a "pants off" kind of company ... :p03:18
jdubheh03:18
KamionKeybuk: I thought it gave him a warty03:19
Keybuk*groans*  warty where you thinking of, that's terrible03:19
rburtonthe X keyboard layout debconf thing should give gb as an example for england as i can never remember what the code is03:19
Kamionya, I think that went into a recent upload somewhere, but I don't remember whether it was unstable or warty03:20
Keybukrburton: that's going to die MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!*cough*splutter*03:20
rburtonreally.03:20
rburtonis OO.o on the CD?03:21
rburtonawww diveintopython is on03:21
=== rburton must count the RossQuotient of warty
jdubwe removed sound-juicer because it lacks quality control03:23
jdub;-)03:23
rburtonhaha03:23
rburtoni've been sent a patch to make it use the g-m profiles03:23
rburtonmust review that at some point03:23
jdubrad03:23
rburtonxpdf?03:24
jdubgpdf still has type3 font support issues03:24
rburtonyay, millions of parse errors from scrollkeeper03:24
rburtonjdub, 2.8 is fixing them iirc03:24
jdubnot type303:24
jdubit fixed OOo and locale stuff03:24
rburtonah balls03:25
jdubnot sure type3 will make it03:25
jdubif it does, we'll switch though03:25
seb128no search feature neither03:25
jduboh yeah, and seb wants search ;)03:25
rburtonhm, postfix03:28
rburtonhm03:28
rburtonyay X mis-detected by vga card03:29
rburtonshouldn't X by default read fonts from the deforma paths?03:30
Kamionrburton: OOo should be there and installed by default, yes03:33
Kamionthe scrollkeeper bugs are being fixed but not quite there yet ...03:33
rburtongar, X isn't starting03:34
rburtonnv supports the geforce4mx, right?03:34
rburtoni'm getting garbage :(03:34
rburtonmay i request nvidia modules for the default kernel?03:35
jdubwe're going to have some proprietary drivers, nvidia is on the list03:36
=== jdub goes - have fun!
rburtonarsing arse arse03:43
rburtonhas anyone got nvidia drivers for 2.6.7 to hand? :/03:43
=== rburton misses nullmailer
rburtonfrom a $CORP perspective, nullmailer is very useful for desktops03:47
Kamionis it in universe?03:47
rburtondunno yet, i'm still battling X03:47
Kamionnullmailer | 1.00RC7-21 | warty/universe | amd64, i386, powerpc, source03:48
rburtonah i'll add that in a bit then03:49
Kamionoops, debootstrapping onto a nodev-mounted partition doesn't work very well03:49
rburtoncursed X03:52
rburtonhuzzah03:54
rburtonam i going mad or is nis not part of the base package set?03:55
Kamionit's not; it seems to be only in universe03:56
Kamionwe might want to reconsider that03:56
rburtoni'd say so03:56
Kamionit's not in blacklist.security or anything, so it might be just an oversight03:57
rburtonwhats the sources line for universe?03:58
Kamiondeb http://ftp.no-name-yet.com/no-name-yet warty universe03:58
rburtonah of course03:59
Kamion(very untested; if it breaks you get to keep both pieces)03:59
KamionI'd suggest pinning to get only individual packages from there03:59
rburtonbug!04:00
rburtonhostname is "sadok" but /etc/hosts still says debian04:00
Kamionhm, did you tell d-i that hostname in the first stage?04:01
rburtonyeah, pretty sure04:01
Kamion        if (verify_hostname(client->value) != 0)04:02
Kamion        {04:02
Kamion          debconf_subst(client, "netcfg/invalid_hostname",04:02
Kamion              "hostname", client->value);04:02
Kamion          debconf_input(client, "high", "netcfg/invalid_hostname");04:02
Kamion          debconf_go(client);04:02
Kamion          debconf_set(client, template, "debian");04:02
Kamion        }04:02
KamionI wonder if verify_hostname failed on whatever you set for some reason04:02
KamionI think that template should perhaps be asked at priority critical, not high04:02
Kamionah, did you enter a FQDN at the hostname prompt?04:03
rburtoner, no04:03
rburtonjust sadok iirc04:03
Kamionhm04:03
Kamionhm, it allows . anyway04:04
rburton"nfs warning: mount older than kernel"04:07
rburtonnot seen that before04:07
rburtonhm, X suffers from the stick alt key bug for me04:16
=== Kamion is trying to figure out what will happen if I debconf_set() a question and then ask it at priority critical
rburtonb04:27
rburtonseb128, you might want to know that thinice in warty is buggy compared to that in sid04:53
seb128what's the problem ?04:53
rburtonno arrows :(04:53
rburtoni.e. sort direction in evo mailer04:53
seb128sort direction ?04:55
seb128all looks fine with it here04:56

rburtonno, really bust here04:59

=== rburton is very happy with Warty
seb128:))05:15
Keybuk:p05:16
seb128rburton: and apparently GNOME is suddently almost perfect (out of the thinice problem), nobody report bugs :-P05:17
rburtonwell of course ;)05:18
rburtonapart from ephy using gestures by default and crashing that is05:19
Keybukthat's so when it crashes you can use appropriate gestures05:19
seb128rburton: I don't get your question, where do you want to paste ?05:23
seb128middle clicking in a text entry make a paste here05:23
rburtonpaste in the window05:23
rburtonlooks like the ephy schemas were not installed, none of them are registered in gconf-editor05:24
seb128weird05:24
rburtonyeah05:24
seb128could you check the /var/lib/dpkg/info/epiphany.postinst ?05:24
seb128this version should have the sighup change05:25
