sivangKamion : tested it a bit, the installer enters an endless loop - never snaps out , after it sasying it enters lowmem mode i.e. loading the lowmem packages.12:00
mdzKamion: it's only the installer and main packages files which are used during the first stage anyway, right?12:00
Mithrandirdoes qemu support serial interfaces?12:00
Kamionmdz: hm, except that bunzip2 probably isn't installed at that point12:00
KamionMithrandir: if you've got that sort of setup you wouldn't bother with emulation12:01
Kamionmdz: and restricted12:01
mdzthe uncompressed hoary/main packages file is only ~2M12:01
MithrandirKamion: saves a box, though.12:01
Kamionmdz: remember we're already winning over Debian mind12:01
Kamionsmaller Packages files12:01
mdzKamion: right, and main and restricted are decompressed separately12:01
=== Mithrandir goes to bed.
Kamionmdz: what did you think about my three Ship proposals for installer language support?12:23
Kamionjfbterm, unifont, console-terminus12:23
robertjKamion: I was wondering the other day, can you think of a good reason hostname shouldn't be autoset?12:29
mdzKamion: did I miss your proposal?  I lost some mail a few days ago12:31
mdzrobertj: yes...autoset to what?12:31
robertja random string?12:32
robertjthe ubuntu-macaddress12:32
robertjwould that cause the world to come to an end?12:33
infinityNo, but it's pretty irritating behaviour.12:33
infinityI cursed Microsoft when they started doing that in their installers.12:34
robertjinfinity: why?12:34
infinity"jkfdW2kk, now that's an intuitive hostname!"12:34
infinity"bobsmith1" might be nicer (based on username, or some other string entered in the installer) than the random gobleygoop.12:35
chrisaOr use dict -m on something from urandom12:36
chrisaThat's fun too12:36
sivangchrisa : yes :)12:36
robertjbut why do you need the hostname anyway? Chances are if they are going to register it with a dhcp server they will change the host nam12:36
robertjmost desktop users won't be running any services12:37
infinityIt's traditional for UNIX hosts to have a sane name, though.12:37
infinityAnd for people to have prompts like user@name:~$12:37
infinitys/name/host/12:37
chrisaThere's something endearing about user@jkfdW2kk:~$12:38
robertjinfinity: anyone at the prompt can figure out how to change their hostname then12:38
infinityI suppose.  <shrug>... I'm not terribly emotional about it.12:38
infinityAs long as I always have the option to run my installers in ultra-verbose, ask-me-everything mode, I don't know that I personally care.12:39
infinityI still prefer the idea of basing the name on the "create a normal user" username, though.12:39
infinitySo, you'd get dave@dave01:~$12:39
infinityOr whatever.12:39
chrisaThat'll make the paranoid ex-ms droids happy12:40
infinity(Of course, that's horribly out of order, as far as the installer is concerned)12:40

Kamionmdz: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2004-November/001308.html (and subthread)12:40
Kamionmdz: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2004-November/001309.html12:40
Kamionrobertj: there's an RFC about recommended practices for host naming ...12:41
Kamionrobertj: we attempt to set the hostname from DHCP or DNS, but if that's not possible I think getting a name from the user is appropriate12:41
robertjKamion: it's really irritating though. Home users don't know what a host name is (better docs could help with that) and business users likely don't know where a given machine will end up12:42
KamionI dunno, IME arguments that start "most desktop users" tend to fall flat ... we had a number of experiences like that pre-Warty :)12:42
mdzKamion: yeah, that was during my black{out,hole} period12:43
Kamionmdz: thought it might've been12:43
robertjwhat does IME stand for?12:43
infinityIn My Experience.12:43
elmoin my experience12:43
robertjKamio: ahh12:44
robertjis this what you were thinking of? http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2100.html12:44
Kamionwe did talk about it before Warty - one of the reasons we left it as it is, actually, is that changing the hostname after installation is such a royal pain12:44
Kamionthe hostname has a bad habit of getting hardcoded into configuration files all over the place, rightly or wrongly12:44
mdzkamion: is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=99339 a concern for us?12:45
Kamionrobertj: I think there's a rather more serious one somewhere12:45
=== sivang didn't know there were poems in RFs :)
Kamionsivang: look for "Jabberwocky"12:45
sivangKamion : it's by Louis Kroll, right?12:45
mdzKamion: how familiar are you with jfbterm?  some of that i18n console stuff is scary (random setuid binaries and such)12:45
Kamionsivang: parody thereof12:46
sivangKamion : ah, k12:46
pittiNight everybody!12:47
sivangnight pitti12:47
Kamionmdz: jfbterm seems to work for me on powerpc12:47
robertjKamion: if XP gives random host names, then the world probably won't come to an end if Ubuntu does as well.12:48
Kamionmdz: hm, yeah, it has a setuid root binary, that's annoying12:48
Kamionrobertj: XP does lots of things that we're trying to fix :-)12:48
robertjKamion: hostnames dont fix much12:48
Kamionlike I say, we did debate this before Warty12:48
Kamionjfbterm would need a full audit, it seems12:49
Kamionit has privilege-dropping code, and drops privileges as the first thing it does; but it's still a world-executable setuid-root program12:50
robertjIt just seems contrary to an otherwise "Just the facts" type of setup12:50
mdzKamion: what resources does it hold when it drops privileges?12:50
Kamionit's the first thing that main() does, so just its starting file descriptors I should think12:51
Kamionit does tty-switching by ioctl() on /dev/console and /dev/tty*, and a couple of things with /dev/tty* and /dev/fb*12:53
Kamionsome odd ioperm() stuff as well for vga16fb12:53
Kamionwe could defer that for now and just take the font stuff?12:55
mdzit certainly wouldn't need to be setuid if it dropped privileges as its first operation01:06
mdzioperm() requires root, though01:06
mdzI'll look at it01:06
mdzKamion: have you looked at them with an eye to the usual seed requirements?01:07
mdz(are they maintained, etc.)01:07
mdzI have no problems with unifont; seems dead simple01:07
mdzoh, they really are just fonts01:07
Kamionthere's #21872001:08
Kamiondunno if it matters though01:08
mdzunifont and console-terminus are both fine with me01:09
KamionI can't say I can claim unifont is maintained, but as you say it's just a font01:09
mdzwe'll defer jfbterm for now, as you proposed01:09
Kamionall right, thanks01:09
mdzit would be a good idea to send something to the new security-review list about jfbterm01:10
Kamionjfbterm may be less of a concern now that we're doing UTF-8 throughout01:10
KamionI don't yet have a good feel for how good the Linux console's support for UTF-8 actually is in practice01:11
sivangKamion : for my belingual needs, it's pretty fine, although console RTL input can be sometimes tricky.01:14
tsenghas anyone tested ubuntu on intel emt64 chips?01:17
tsengi understand that its basically an amd compatible x86_64, but not quite.01:18
elmoI think it is enough that ubuntu should work01:19
elmowe provide a kernel for it and there's no userspace incompatabilities01:19
elmobut no, I don't know of anyone who's tested it01:20
tsengdanke01:21
mdzmjg59: around?01:25
=== pasc_ is now known as pasc
KamionI believe the amd64-generic kernel should work too (just as well, since that's all that's on the CD)01:29
elmoright, sorry I more meant that our kernel was aware of EM64T01:30
elmoas in, at the source level01:30
Kamionah, right01:30
mjg59mdz: Pong?01:42
mdzmjg59: how do the reports from your kernel look?  what changes do you have that we'll need to merge into the default kernel?01:52
=== lupus_ [~lupus@kn-ivl-2.kuleuven.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mjg59mdz: For the most part, pretty good01:57
mjg59mdz: Suspend to disk is still failing for some people for reasons I haven't tracked down01:57
mjg59But other than that, the success rate for suspend to disk is almost perfect, and suspend to RAM is working better than I expected01:57
=== Kamion gets his bug list back down to 100 bugs
Kamionguess that's time to hit the sack; night all01:57
mdzmjg59: which swsusp are you using?01:58
mdzKamion: night01:58
mjg59mdz: Kernel stock01:58
mdzmjg59: I thought that one didn't work with modular storage device drivers01:58
mjg59mdz: I added some fairly trivial code so that echo -n resume >/sys/power/state triggers another resume01:58
mjg59And then added code to do that at the end of the initrd01:58
mdzah, I see01:59
mdzso we just need 2.6.901:59
mjg592.6.10 would probably be better, but yeah01:59
mjg59I've got a patch tree here, so I can show you what I added to the tree fairly easily01:59
mjg59Mm. Yeah. 4 patches - at least one is in current Linus tree, one is the dodgy dsdt-initrd hack, one is theoretically needed but I haven't found a case that doesn't work without it and one is the swsusp stuff02:01
mdzhow does Linus feel about the dsdt-initrd thing?02:04
mjg59I doubt he's keen. The linux-acpi people certainly aren't.02:05
lifelessmjg59: does your stuff work for all laptops, or just one model ? And if just one model, how do I convince you to teach me how to fix my laptop(s) ?02:06
mjg59On the other hand, jdub needs it in order to get battery information02:06
mjg59lifeless: In theory, all02:06
mjg59What's the problem?02:06
lifelessmy hoverbook - you remember it right? - will go into battery sleep mode, but nothing brings it alive except for holding the powe down for 5-7 seconds.02:07
lifelessand every time I've tried suspend to disk, it loops and never gets into sleep.02:07
lifelessI'd /kill/ for battery sleep mode to work well.02:07
danielslifeless: you don't have to kill!02:07
lifelessdaniels: do too.02:07
mjg59lifeless: Ok, we have the first issue on multiple machines.02:07
danielslifeless: an X40 is only a few clicks away02:08
lifelessdaniels: you offering me yours ?02:08
danielsno02:08
danielsbut surely it's easier than murder02:08
lifelesswell, then, TEASE.02:08
lifelessyou are a sleep teaser02:08
mjg59lifeless: I suspect the complete failure to wake is the same as the NC4010's failure to wake and the craptop's spontaneous reboot02:08
lifelesscraptop ?02:08
mjg59lifeless: On the other hand, it's also worth checking /proc/acpi/wakeup02:08
mjg59The VIA piece of shit we had in Oxford02:08
danielslifeless: via aberration02:09
lifelesscat /proc/acpi/wakeup 02:09
lifelessDevice  Sleep state     Status02:09
lifeless LID       3            *enabled02:09

lifelessPWRB       5            *enabled02:09
lifelessCRD0       3            disabled02:09
lifelessLANC       3            disabled02:09
mjg59Heh. Ok, that's not it.02:09
lifelessAC97       3            disabled02:09
lifelessthats what it claims :0.02:09
mjg59Yeah, probably the same problem, then. The Intel guys know about it, I'm trying to track it down.02:09
mjg59Suspend to disk is more interesting02:09
lifelesscan I help other than by throwing peanuts and shouting encouragement.02:10
mjg59lifeless: Oh, if you could check suspend to RAM after init=/bin/bash, that would be good02:10
mjg59Just mount proc and echo -n 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep02:10
mjg59I'd expect it to fail in the same way, but it'd be nice to confirm it02:10
mjg59Suspend to disk shouldn't fail in the way it's failing, as far as I can tell02:10
mjg59But it seems unwilling to give large amounts of debug information02:10
mjg59So I'll probably need to throw a pile of printks in a kernel and get you to test it02:11
lifelessok, I'll do so later - I'm high latency on debugging these things, generally each reboot. (Too busy working to fiddle much ...)02:11
mjg59Once we've got this solved, it ought to work anyway02:11
mjg59s/anyway/anywhere/02:11
lifelessI'm happy to run a custom kernel for you.02:11
mjg59Cool02:11
lifelessDo I need to start with a special kernel? Currently I've just warty's P4 kernel.02:11
mjg59Oh02:11
mjg59Were you testing my stuff with my kernel?02:11
jdubahr.02:13
mjg59Suspend to disk won't work without my kernel and my initrd02:13
mjg59Uh, initrd-tools02:13
lifelessapt-line ?02:17
mjg59http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/laptops/ ./02:17
mjg59You need the initrd-tools *first*02:17

mojo_fubara: we don't want to create a distro that mixed up 2 wm05:13
mojo_fubara: initially, I used KDE but then KDE 's getting heavier and messier, so I use GNOME for its simplicity, slim and pro GUI05:14
danielsguys. kde vs gnome. offtopic here. somewhere else.05:15

mojo_fubara: and report all the bugs to us, make sure u update to latest GNOME 2.9.1 provided by our respository05:16

fabbionetouch build-stamp06:38
fabbionethis should fail06:38
fabbionelamont_r: just for curiosity.. how do you handle dep-wait in phase1?06:48
fabbionei got a bunch of packages in that state because they clearly build-dep on stuff that we have in ubuntu only06:48
lamont_rfabbione: poorly06:48
fabbioneshould i wait phase1 to complete, create a phase 1.5 to build this packages and than run phase2?06:49
fabbioneor should i just build them in phase2?06:49
fabbionei mean.. this is almost just a test run, considering that if the port becomes official, all this work needs to be redone at the dc06:50
lamont_rfabbione: it's really a matter of iteration over things until you can use debs that you built to build everything...06:50
lamont_rright - if it becomes official, we start with your debs, build twice,and upload the second results.06:50
lamont_rwhat I did with ia64, for example:06:51
lamont_rstage 0 == debian sid (at the time)06:51
lamont_rstage 1 = build with debs pointed at stage 006:51
fabbioneyes.. i got that06:52
fabbionei am at your stage0 now..06:52
fabbionebuilding ubuntu packages using debian sid of this days06:52
lamont_rduring stage1, I have preferences taht make stage1 pin 1500, stage 0 at 5006:53
fabbione(considering i am not building warty)06:53
=== jdz` [~jdz@chpau.oxfordnetworks.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lamont_rscratch that06:54
fabbionei didn't think about pinning.. good point06:54
lamont_rstage 0 (debian) gets used to build stage1 as best we can. Things that don't build are sad.06:54
lamont_rstage1 then gets used to iterate over itself for a bit06:54
lamont_rthat is, the stage 0 debs are removed from the cache, and stage0 is removed from sources.list, and replaced with stage106:55
lamont_rthen you build for a bit.06:55
fabbioneyup.. i got all of that06:55
lamont_rthe actual goal is "anything that is a build-dep or a dep of a build-dep in main"06:55
fabbionebasically i keep reiterating until sid is out of the way06:55
fabbioneand i can build everything from stageX06:55
lamont_rthen once you run out of that, then you use stage1 debs and build everythign one more time06:56
lamont_rproducing golden stage206:56
lamont_rif any cheating was needed to get .debs into existance, then you need to have stage N+106:56
lamont_rright.06:56
fabbioneuntil now.. no cheating06:56
lamont_rreally?  how did you build cyrus-sasl2?06:57
fabbionei got the process clear in my mind06:57
lamont_r(which happens to be ftbfs right now...)06:57
fabbioneit just builded fine06:57
lamont_rreally?06:57
lamont_rmaybe they fixed the dependencies then06:57
lamont_rthat'd rock06:57
fabbioneLog for successful build of cyrus-sasl2_2.1.19-1.5 (dist=hoary)06:57
lamont_r  postgresql-dev: Depends: libkrb5-dev but it is not going to be installed06:58
lamont_rmust have old Depends then.. :-)06:58
fabbionei still didn't build postgre06:58
lamont_r(build-deps on something that Depends on a pkg that conflicts with libkrb5-dev...06:58
fabbionei am at about 50% of the archive06:58
fabbionei have 6 real FTBFS06:59
fabbioneand 10 dep-wait ubuntu for ubuntu06:59
lamont_r50% of main, I assume?06:59
fabbioneyes06:59
fabbionei am not building universe06:59
fabbionei simply don't have the processing power06:59
fabbionelamont_r: talking about universe instead.. given that we don't support it...07:02
lamont_rright07:02
fabbioneone or two build run on top of a real ubuntu main should be sufficient.. i guess07:02
fabbionewe can be a bit more "dirty" in it...07:02
fabbionei don't mind reiterating main 20 times if needed07:03
fabbionebut universe is just too big for one sparc only07:03
lamont_ryeah - properly speaking, one should really handle dep-waits while doing the iteration - I just retried everything instead. :-)07:05
fabbioneehehe07:07
fabbionei can't efford that much processing power07:07
fabbionesparc isn't the fastest processor in the world07:08

fabbione28 to 32...07:08
lamont_reither one is a bunch:-)07:11
fabbioneoh yeah07:11
=== lamont_r just spent a little bit trying to figure out why there were 108 packages 'Building' on ia64...
fabbionetoo bad that it needs 5 x 220 tri-phase power cable for approx 4.5KW07:12
lamont_rthen I remembered that I have buildd taking 30 at a time...07:12
lamont_r18 dangling packages is understandable/semi-OK.07:12
lamont_rthat's only 20Amps.. :-)07:12
fabbionei am using the default config of taking 10 at a time07:12
lamont_rand 1MWh every 3 days. :-)07:13
fabbioneehehhe07:13
fabbionei still remember when i turned it on07:13
lamont_rit's more a function of how much you smack the wanna-build machine... With 12 buildd's, and my logs scripts, etc...  it's pretty common that we collide.07:13
fabbioneour UPS registered a 50% usage more :-)07:14
lamont_rso fewer trips is better.07:14
fabbionegoing down from 40 minutes to 20 minutes autonomy07:14
lamont_rouch07:14
fabbionedoesn't wanna-build handle collisions?07:14
lamont_rfabbione: I also taught the buildd to understand $max_build_percent (only take this percent - default == 100) of the needs-build package at once.07:14
lamont_ryeah - it blocks the process trying to get to the db until the other one is done.07:15
lamont_rwhich sucks07:15
fabbionehmmm i am not sure i understand07:15
lamont_rso grabbing more means I block less often, esp since most of the block potential is the ssh setup time...07:15
fabbioneif you tell to buildd1 to take 10 pkgs07:15
lamont_r'Database is locked by buildd, please wait'.07:15
fabbionebuildd2 can take the next 1007:16
lamont_rtaht takes a while to finish. Time where I'm not doing anything but waiting.07:16
lamont_rso less of them is better.07:16
fabbionewell increasing the granularity to one?07:16
fabbionegrabbing one package at a time?07:16
lamont_rwhen there are only 3 packages in Needs-Build, I'd like them to go one at a time, rather than having one machine grab foo, xorg, and baz07:16
lamont_rbut when there are 3000 needs-build packages, I want to snarf lots of them at a time07:17
fabbionewhy do you like to make this difference?07:17
fabbioneif you have resources just use them...07:17
fabbioneand parallelize..07:17
lamont_rthe bulk of the wanna-build --take time is spent setting up - actually marking them taken doesn't take very log at all, once you get everything ready and grab the lock...07:17
lamont_rtaking 1 package at a time when there are 3000 means we spend a large chunk of the package build time (for most packages) in doing the --take07:18
fabbioneso basically you save that few seconds accessing wb db and that's it07:19
lamont_rtaking 10 packages at a time when there are only 3 to build means that one buildd grabs them all, and the other 2 sit idle.07:19
fabbioneyes i understand that07:19
lamont_rfew seconds per package, times 3000 packages.07:19
fabbionegotcha07:19
lamont_rand it screws up the semi-timed stats dumping... which isn't nice.. :-)07:20
lamont_rthat is, the dump starts in time to usually be done before the rsync happens.07:20
lamont_rit goes in a different directory and gets snapped over at once, so it's not terrible, but it's still nice to have that finish before its next iteration starts... :-)07:21
fabbionenow you lost me...07:23
fabbionebut i guess i am not affected by this problem yet :)07:23
infinitylamont_r : Can you beg elmo/neuro for commit access to Debian's wanna-build CVS?07:27
lamont_rinfinity: why?07:27
infinitylamont_r : That take more/less depending on queue length feature is something we want in m68k, for obvious reasons (and, in fact, some of us run a patched buildd that does that already)07:28

lamont_rhopefully most of them are fixed already. :-)07:30
lamont_rbuild/current symlink?07:30

lamont_rheh07:32
lamont_rhow painful is d-i on m68k, anyway?07:32
infinitysmarenka's buildd also checks for a EXIT-AFTER-BUILD (or sometihng like that) stamp too, so he can just touch that and go away, knowing the buildd will kill itself when the current build is done.07:33

mwh_when creating packages for ubuntu is it then custom to first create a debian package and then a ubuntu package or?02:01
Kamionit makes some things easier if you go about it that way02:01
mwh_please explain what is easier?02:03
mwh_im on ground zero you see02:03
Kamionwell, we merge with Debian regularly02:03
Kamionthe bigger the patch we accumulate against whatever Debian has, the more complicated merging becomes02:03
Kamionso it's in our own interests to feed as much back to Debian as possible02:04
mwh_ok02:04
mwh_so for example I would like to upgrade xchat to a newer version, what would you recomend that I do?02:05
mwh_maybe I should contact the maintainer first I guess02:05
mwh_I think I should find out how to get the source for the build as well to see how it works02:06
mwh_is there a guide somewhere on howto build debian packages og get into doing it02:06
Kamionwww.debian.org/doc/02:07
mwh_my background is from lfs, so basically I just built stuff from src with the minimum changes02:07
azeemmwh_: do you want to update xchat for your own purposes or for the community in general?02:07
Kamionor possibly /devel/ actually02:07
Kamionread the new maintainer's guide02:07
mwh_for the community 02:07
Kamionmwh_: you're aware that there's a newer version in hoary?02:07
Kamion     xchat | 2.0.8-2ubuntu1 |         warty | source, amd64, i386, powerpc02:08
Kamion     xchat | 2.4.0-0.2ubuntu1 |         hoary | source, amd64, i386, powerpc02:08
mwh_I can always just build the stuff from src for myself, but I think its a waste of time if others can use the stuff02:08
mwh_Kamion: no I didnt02:08
mwh_Kamion: anyways I would like to upgrade the stuff in warty, when I shift to hoary I would like to help there02:08
azeemmwh_: warty is not being upgraded02:09
azeemit's released02:09
mwh_azeem: oh, why?02:09
Kamionwe don't change stable releases02:09
Kamionthat's what "stable" means02:09
mwh_ok I need to look at it that way then ;)02:09
mwh_then its only security things which get pushed out for stable?02:10
Kamionyes02:10
mwh_I think its a bit sad that new features are not pushed out :( but I guess thats how it is02:13
azeemthey are pushed out every 6 months02:13
Kamionyou can't create a stable operating system if you keep changing it; it's just a project management impossibility02:15
mwh_yes, like what about if a translation is broken, its not security but its an error, are they pushed out as well on a stable release?02:15
Kamionvery severe bugs may be fixed in warty-updates02:15
mwh_ok02:15
Kamionbut with great care, and new upstream versions aren't the sort of thing that typically qualify02:15

jdubmwh_: hoary is the development branch of *ubuntu*02:24

jdub(in general)02:24
mwh_yes I know02:24
mwh_ahh yes02:24
mwh_thats what I mean, I would realy love a distro in between which only tracked upstream stable packages, ie gnome 2.8.[1,2,3,4]  ...02:25
mwh_and other software ofcourse02:25
azeemyou mean point releases02:25
jdubfor the most part, that's true for hoary02:25
mwh_yes02:25
jdubyou simply can't do that in a stable distribution release02:26
jdubyou can always use sid02:26
mwh_jdub: I see what you mean, anyways thats my point I would like to see something like, stable, stable-upstream and developement02:26
azeemmwh_: maintain your own branch02:27
Kamionwe've discussed it, but the merging effort means it isn't feasible until we have better infrastructure for merging02:27
jdubmwh_: stable-upstream == debian sid02:30
jdubfor the most part02:30
mwh_aha02:30
jdubstable-upstream + gnome platform/desktop development branch == ubuntu development branch02:30
jdubnot a huge difference02:31

spotterwhat's the "multiverse"?10:36
ChrisHspotter: the "non-free" area of ubuntu10:36
jdubspotter: ubuntu equivalent of debian's contrib/non-free10:36
spotteryah all couldn't just go with the regularly understood names :)10:37
spotterI would have figured restricted was non-free10:37

spotteruniverse stuff can have bug filed against them, right?10:54
sivangspotter : you need to file it against debian, as universe is not supported ..:)10:55
spottersivang: except it doesnt seem like a bug in debian10:56
spotteri.e. need force-overwrite to install10:56
sivangspotter : in that case, you should file the bug against the component in warty/hoary you think is responsible for the bug10:56
jdubsivang: ubuntu bugs should *not* be filed against debian11:04
jdubsivang: universe or not, they are all ubuntu packages11:04
sivangjdub : ah sorry, I recalled I read it on the universe/multiverse wiki maybe? 11:05
jdubhope not...11:05
sivangjdub : from bugsy:11:06
sivangjdub :   Before reporting a bug, please read the bug writing guidelines, please look at the list of most frequently reported bugs, and please search for the bug.11:06
sivangPlease note: packages which are found in the 'universe' repository are not supported here. Since packages from 'universe' are rebuilt from Debian Sid, problems with them should be reported to Debian. If you are certain the problem is caused by an interaction with something in Ubuntu, you can post to the ubuntu-users mailing list for assistance. 11:06

spotterany idea why the theme selector isn't letting me switch themes?11:20
spotterstays on human no matter what I do11:20
sivangjdub : so we would need to investigate the package, and only if it's opsses in debian open bug upstream? (=debian)11:35
jdubsivang: well atm, we wouldn't, because there is no bug tracking for universe :)11:38
sivangjdub : is there anything in the works for it? or some sort of bug reporting infras. for univ. ?11:38
jdubsivang: in the future, more people will be concentrating on universe fixes11:38
jdubkind of11:38
jdubnot directly, but there will be a solution post-bugzilla11:39
