sivangI'm getting 200Kb/s now :)12:02
mdzseems to be getting a poor transfer rate on the blocks it downloads, but isn't downloading many12:02
lamont_rah, ok12:02

mdzyay, the busybox init fix took12:08
ogramdz: i get 68KB/s on amd here (line is capable to do 90 which i noramlly get from c.u.c)12:08
mdzi386 download is getting a more non-rsync transfer rate12:08
ogramdz: how did you track it in the end ?12:08
ograinit that i12:08
ogras12:08
mdzogra: many slow test cycles12:11
ograhmm with a lot reboots i guess....12:11
sladenmdz: do you find an easy way to differeniate kernel threads?12:12
mdzlamont_r: is this a delta against 20050121 or 20050120.1?12:12
mdzI'm not sure what I had locally when I started the rsync12:12
lamont_rmdz: the change in cloop generation is in 20050121.<largest int>12:15
lamont_rfor i368 that's > 10... for the others, it should be .1 or so12:15

ogralamont_r: its a table that adds the ethX device to a specific MAC12:43
lamont_rah, cool12:43
lamont_rglad that finally got in there.. (yeah, sometime ago, I'm sure..)12:43
__daniellamont_r: after the reboot, my router kept on confusing network devices12:43
ogralamont_r: remember, with 2.4 you had to regard the load order of the modules ....12:43
__danielso thanks to ogra, i'm safe now :-)12:43
lamont_rogra: or write scripts that figured out what the kernel had done to you...12:44
ograyup :)12:44
lamont_rIfrename always use the first matching mapping starting12:46
lamont_r       from  the  end  of  iftab, therefore more restrictive mapping should be12:47
lamont_r       specified last.12:47
lamont_rthat could use some change...12:47
sladenwin 4512:48
ogralamont_r: this whole paragraph sounds strange (even above this sentence)12:50
lamont_rmy daughter just decided to write a short story with her spelling words...12:50
lamont_ryes12:50
lamont_rbut that sentence really wants to say 'always uses the last matching mapping...'12:50
ogralamont_r: the two sentences seem not related at all....probably worth a bug12:51
lamont_rogra: feel free12:51
ograheh12:51
ograogra@honk:~ $ dpkg -S /etc/iftab12:53
ogradpkg: /etc/iftab not found.12:53
ograhmm, what may generate it ?12:53
mdzogra: netcfg creates it12:55
Riddellwhat version number should I use in debian if I've already put a package in ubuntu versioned -1ubuntu112:56
sivangmdz: are there any set of documents appropriate for shipping on the cd? docteam ubuntu user guide for example?12:56
ogramdz: hmm, but it has a manpage that is wrong....ha, found it ogra@honk:~ $ dpkg -S /usr/share/man/man5/iftab.5.gz12:57
ograifrename: /usr/share/man/man5/iftab.5.gz12:57
mdzsivang: I should ask you, you are on the documentation team, and not me ;-)12:57
sivangmdz: I say we do! However, that should probably be in the limis of the diskspace on the cd.12:58
crimsunRiddell: assuming -1 is in Debian? -2 would be the dch -i; then you'd make -2ubuntu1, and so forth.12:58
Riddellcrimsun: nothing is in debian12:58
sivangI'd opt for having all the ubuntu specific docs in, so someone without net access could also learn about the system - again, in the space constraints.12:59
lamont_rson of bitch. must kill pitti12:59
mdzsivang: if you have enough documentation that we need to worry about space, then that is a good problem to have12:59
lamont_r700 files to mirror???  gag me12:59
crimsunRiddell: if the packages are identical aside from branding differences, I say -1.12:59
sivangmdz: hehe, ok, I'll tell the gang that you said to fill up the remaining space with docs :)12:59
Riddellcrimsun: ok01:00
crimsunRiddell: normally they're -0ubuntuX until they're in Sid, then -1ubuntuX and so on01:00
lamont_rcrimsun: the logical successor to -1 is -1ubuntu1, not -2ubuntu101:05
lamont_rdebian's -2 should  be newer01:05
crimsunlamont_r: that's what I'm saying.01:06
ograsivang: make an mpeg screencapture tutorial for all functions of the desktop if you dont know how to fill the space ;)01:06
crimsunlamont_r: otherwise he'd have to make a -2 for sid and then a -2ubuntu1 for hoary, no?01:06
lamont_rif he was doing something for sid, then he'd bump the debian version.01:06
lamont_rand merge the ubuntu diff into that01:07
=== sladen [paul@starsky.19inch.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
crimsunlamont_r: according to him, currently there's no sid package of it01:07
lamont_rthen probably -0ubuntu1 and start counting01:09
crimsunlamont_r: yeah, that was my reasoning as well, except there's already a -1ubuntu1 ;)01:09
lamont_rof course, if it could go into debian (even experimental), that'd be the preferred method01:09
lamont_rbecause if you wind up with a diff orig.tar.gz in debian, then you wind up with 1ubuntu1-1ubuntu1 later. :-(01:10
lamont_rgrumble. back down to 50K/s01:11
lamont_r15 minutes remaining... woot01:11
lamont_rcrimsun: after -1ubuntu1 is -1ubuntu201:12
crimsunlamont_r: so he should make -2 for experimental/sid, then a -2ubuntu1 for hoary, correct?01:12
ajmitchit's not too hard to upload -2 as the first release to sid01:13
lamont_rah, if he's sending something to sid and he likes himself, then yes... -2 for sid and -2ubuntu1 for hoary01:13
crimsunajmitch: right.01:13
lamont_rand just remember the -sa for sid01:14

ajmitchI've been downloading fine01:14
lamont_rHwolf: if you mean bandwidth being sucky, then yes - others have noticed it although it appears happier now01:15

lamont_rhoary-security doesn't have anything (and won't until at least april, hopefully much later...)01:15
lamont_rcrimsun: it's created, but empty01:15
crimsunlamont_r: right.01:15
ajmitchlamont_r: I don't notice lack of bandwidth from the server ,since I have none at my end :)01:15
lamont_rajmitch: I only notice it when I drive 15 miles to town to get bandwidth... :-)01:16
HwolfHey ajmitch, have you gotten any hint on what could cause the gnome volume applet to mess up my audio?01:16
ajmitchHwolf: changes alsa settings? 01:18
ajmitchI don't know01:18
ajmitchon my sid laptop, restarting udev causes the volume settings to be restored01:19
HwolfIf I open gnome-volume-control it breaks the currently playing audio and all I hear is static, if I reselect the card, or reopen the tool, things go back to normal.01:19
ajmitchinteresting01:19
lamont_rajmitch: firing up the panel and switching back to alsa fixes it... no clue as to cause01:19
ajmitchgnome-volume-control uses gstreamer as backend now, right?01:20
Hwolfajmitch: It should01:21
ajmitchsigh, seems that a LUG machine that friends run just got rooted01:22
ajmitchgreat way to spend a weekend :)01:22
Hwolfajmitch, consider spending the weekend at the university cafeteria working on a business plan with a monday-4pm deadline.01:23
ajmitchoh that's fairly usual for students01:23
ajmitchexcept it's more spending the weekend in the basement lab coding for me01:23
Hwolf*g* I've put in 15 hours on the plan in the last 4 days, and we still need 20% of it. 01:24
mdzlamont_r: still here?01:25
lamont_ryeah01:25
Hwolf3 people are writing, and i am typing it into a single cohesive project, editing and such. I feel braindead. :-)01:25
lamont_r4 min eta01:25
lamont_rkids would like to go home from the coffee shop though...01:25
lamont_rmdz: wassup?01:25

=== lamont_r wonders if/when daniels is going to split xorg source up, so that it's less than 270MB/upload
lamont_rHwolf: yeah - there are a couple of other kids in evidence, but mostly considerably younger than mine...01:26
danielslamont_r: it was going to be hoary, but I got overruled on that one.  ho hum.01:26
lamont_rdaniels: any planned need for -12?01:27
=== Hwolf thinks daniels would rather do that either when xorg goes modular, right?
danielslamont_r: yeah01:27
danielsHwolf: it's already moving modular01:27
=== lamont_r sighs.
lamont_rthis week, or next?01:27
danielslamont_r: this weekend01:27
amudaniels: hint dbus-qt :) 01:27
danielsamu: yeah :)01:27
=== lamont_r makes a note to snarf bandwidth somewhere
Hwolfdaniels, can you tell me how to get xvid working with the fglrx driver? I've tried, but had no luck.01:27
danielslamont_r: you could just ignore *6.8.1-1ubuntu12* for a while01:28
danielsHwolf: dunno, sorry, don't use binary drivers myself01:28
mdzlamont_r: going to upload busybox-cvs shortly01:28
Hwolfdaniels, cool. 01:28
danielsi've used fglrx for about 10min to make sure it worked, and nvidia-glx for about an hour to debug a weird problem01:28
mdzlamont_r: need to get those changes into a d-i build01:28
lamont_rmdz: OK.01:28
lamont_rgonna make :30, or do I have an hour?01:28
Hwolfdaniels, the problem is, at this moment you can't use the fgrlx drivers out-of-the-box with apps like totem or tvtime.01:29
danielsHwolf: hmm ... there's probably an option about picking the gl or xv overlay01:29
mdzlamont_r: it's on its way up now01:29
mdzand my clock shows :3001:29
lamont_rdaniels: if I want good 3D 24-bit double buffered video,what card do you recommend01:29
Hwolfdaniels, i've searched, but can't find it. And anyhow, it should be standard, right?01:30
lamont_rDC shows mostly after :3001:30
danielslamont_r: 3d video?01:30
danielsHwolf: not really, fglrx has its own wacky options01:30
danielsincluding one which is a bitmask about capabilities01:30
lamont_rwhich means source will snap at :03, and binaries will be there at :33.. d-i should be available shortly thereafter01:30

danielslamont_r: i got my radeon 8500 for $us20 off ebay -- very good card01:31
danielsi mean, it probably isn't too shit hot on hl2, but yeah, it generally keeps up quite well01:31
=== lamont_r makes a note
danielsif you can find a radeon 9100, even better01:31
danielsthe 9200 is flaky and I dislike it, ditto 925001:32
lamont_rok.01:32
danielsand anything above that requires fglrx for 3D01:32
=== lamont_r runs so he can buzz the store on the way home.
Hwolfdaniels, i've had a 9200se for a year, and it's the latest supported card for 'ati' Has always worked fine, specially with ubuntu01:32
lamont_rmdz: if you _DID_ make :33, please phone/txt msg me and I'll hussle, otherwise should be back on at about :15 or :2001:32
=== lamont_r flees

lamont_rsigh.  you won01:33
=== lamont_r will hussle
danielsHwolf: i dislike the entire concept of the rv280 chipset, and the 9200 has had a lot of weird problems01:34
Hwolfbtw: Is anything planned to simplify using an rp-pppoe connection with ubuntu? Last time I tried it took me 3 days to get the network going here?01:34
Hwolfdaniels, I'm starting to dislike ATI in general, they spend more time doing marketing than coding drivers, if you ask me. 01:34
HwolfI got around setting up ppp this time by buying a router, but here they sell a lot of cheap-ass adsl connections which come with the modem integrated in a usb-stick, so putting in a router is not an option.01:35
danielsHwolf: unfortunately, for open drivers, all you have is ati and i8xx for halfway-modern hardware, and i8xx relies on often incredibly buggy VBE implementations to program modes01:36
daniels(my laptop has an i8xx, my desktop has a Radeon)01:37
Hwolfdaniels, unfortunatly, my next mobo is not going to be agp, so i'll have to move closed-source. :-S01:37
danielsHwolf: mmm, yeah.  i've got a PCIE motherboard (other parts on order), so it's going to be closed-source for 3D.01:38
daniels(that being said, the 3D stuff I want to play is closed-source, so I've already taken that hit)01:39
HwolfI've got a new-year resolution of not installing windows at all this year. I use it at school and at my parents, that's enough. However, i've got one of the greatest games in history lying on top of my monitor, and there is no way in hell that winex will ever support it. :-S01:40
sjoerdeasy solution, don't play games 01:40
HwolfI've been using mostly ubuntu since the release of warty, but I haven't played a game exept majhong since december. :-S01:41
HwolfThat's the longest i've been without playing games since I was 11, i think.01:41
sjoerdthe last time i seriously played a (proprietary) game is more then 5 years back01:42
sjoerdor more..01:42
HwolfIt's a good way to get rid of the addiction.01:42
HwolfAll I want right now is to see hoary play a dvd out of the box. :-S01:43
sjoerdif you want to buy games, buy a console, much better :)01:43
Hwolfgstreamer made some progress, I can now play a dvd in totem-gstreamer. I don't have sound tho.01:43
sjoerdand no i don't have one..01:43
Hwolfsjoerd, I'm a strategy-gamer. That doesn't go with consoles.01:44
sjoerdthe problem is the patent stuff and the gray legal area...01:44
sjoerdHwolf: point01:44
HwolfI know the problem. I've considered trying Yole. They ship patented stuff. Based in Russia. :-D01:44

sjoerddaniels: how's with the dbus qt bindings? any plans on them 01:48
sjoerdmore and more people start asking01:48
Hwolfajmitch. I'd rather see something like the total war series. :-)01:48
jdz_Hwolf: Check out Battle for Wesnoth, it's in universe.  Hoary's version is much better (newer)01:49
HwolfWhooh. I feel good. I'm running a pyhton2.3-less system. 01:49
Hwolfjdz_ I did. It was good for an hour.01:50
jdz_Hwolf: *laughs* okay.01:50
ajmitchHwolf: and what do you have against python2.3?01:51
Hwolfjdz_ The problem is, once you've seen a squad of armoured war-elephants march through a few units of legionaires, 2d just doesn't cut it anymore01:51
danielssjoerd: either today or tomorrow01:51
Hwolfajmitch, nothing, exept that it's 70mb and 50 packages. :-)01:52
danielssjoerd: heh, I have a PS2.  both that and San Andreas aren't exactly open source/open platform.01:52
sjoerddaniels: cool, lemme know then i'll put it in the debian package too01:53
danielssjoerd: will do01:53
sjoerdif it works out for ubuntu then it should be fine for unstable too....01:54
sjoerddaniels: consoles aren't general purpose machines, so i don't care as much about being open..01:55
sjoerdand if you want to do proprietary games your already lost... No need to make it worse by forsing more and more closed stuff on you once open/free system :)01:55
Riddellcould someone explain what this means (trying to work out why a package hasn't been built "universe/sound/kdemultimedia_4:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 by buildd+crested [optional:out-of-date] "01:56
danielsRiddell: needs to be built, although I'm not sure why crested has claimed it01:57
danielsRiddell: how long ago did you upload it?01:57
danielssjoerd: heh.  at the same time, I want it to look nice, which sort of precludes r2xx. :P01:57
Riddelldaniels: amu uploaded it on the 15th01:57
=== sjoerd has all nice and free drivers on his rv350
Riddell"universe/sound/kdemultimedia_4:3.3.2-1ubuntu4: Building by buildd+crested [optional:out-of-date] "  is that the build-depend on arch-all which depends on arch-specidic problem01:58
sjoerdit's not that thare are non-free drives i could use, but still :)01:58
danielssjoerd: sure, but not with 3D acceleration01:59
danielsi mean, I could run free drivers on my r423, and I will almost all the time01:59

=== T-Bone ducks quickly!
lamontdon't think you could fly here that quick02:41
T-Bonehehe02:41
lamontactually, not much babysitting involved02:42
lamontmdz: so you just need new d-i b its, not a new tarball?02:42
lamonts/tarball/rootfs/02:42
mdzlamont: correct02:42
mdzhell02:42
T-Bonelamont: i'll dl last iso tomorrow and hope that everything has been merged so that I can get the install to complete :)02:42
mdzelmo isn't around to byhand them, though02:42
T-Bonegnight all02:43
mdzso I don't suppose there's any point02:43
=== T-Bone is now known as T-None
lamontmdz: I have the tarballs02:43
lamontor will have02:43
mdzit would be nice if we didn't need N people all to be present in order to make this work :-/02:43
lamontmdz: if you had a reasonably close mirror, you could always start building the SoCal edition...02:44
mdzno point in doing the d-i build, I guess02:44
lamontalready running02:45
lamontand no point in killing it - the cleanup is annoying02:45
lamontso ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-base install on hppa.  of course that means _ABSOLUTELY_NOTHING_02:45
lamontmdz: what would you think of having the binary build of ubuntu-meta notice that base-$arch is missing, and use the Packages files in /var/apt/lists to go with the seeds to build something for the bastard step-child architectures?02:46
danielslamont: if you don't need them, exclude xserver-xorg-dbg and xlibmesa-dri-dbg02:46
danielslamont: there's a win there of 50mb per package per arch02:47
mdzlamont: I don't follow02:47
lamontyeah - that's most of the half of the 270.. :-)02:47
mdzlamont: why not do a source upload?02:47
lamontmdz: because the next source upload would trash it.02:47
mdzthe decision to _not_ do anything funky like that during the binary package build was explicit02:47
lamontor would it?02:47
mdzthe only thing which changes the lists in the source package is the update script02:48
lamontso the answer to my question is that you would strenuously object.  got it.02:48
mdzthe binary build does nothing but gencontrol substitutions02:48
lamontwhat about making it FTBFS if {base,desktop}-$arch are not present?02:48
mdzit should work unchanged for all architectures in the main archive02:48

mdzhmm, it doesn't already do that?02:49
lamontno.  it builds a package with no Depends02:49
lamontwhich is cute but unhelpful02:49
ograno pcmcia networking for me on the live cd today :(02:49
mdzfailing would be preferable02:49
lamontmdz: OK.  will make the change02:49
lamonts/will/I will/02:50
mdzogra: did you do any troubleshooting?02:50
ogranot yet.... its about 3am here....i'll do it tomorrow, but it detects fine, even dhcp detection is done in less then 2 seconds (normal) it seems to fail in the last stage02:51
ograthe rsolv.conf contains my local dns entry, but there is no pcmcia device...../etc/init.d/pcmcia is missing as well, is this intentional ?02:52
lamontogra: which architecture?02:58
lamonti386?02:58
ograamd6402:58
lamontmdz: guess we want to have pcmcia packages in the rootfs, eh?02:58
lamontRiddell: ??02:59
mdzogra: does it work during the first stage?02:59
mdzah, yes, it is03:00
mdzso I think lamont is correct03:00
mdzin fact I think I noticed that it was missing and forgot to email03:00
ograi havent pinged or switched consoles03:00
mdzlamont: you'll want to be careful about the install though03:00
mdzlamont: I've seen pcmcia-cs hang non-laptops if it starts up03:00
mdzthat's also going to be a problem for the live CD03:00
mdzbut we need to fix that anyway03:00
danielslamont: sorry03:00
lamonts/non-laptop/no pcmcia/, yes?03:01
mdzdunno, never saw a laptop without pcmcia03:01
lamontdaniels: 12 uploaded you say?03:01
ogramdz: i've seen that to on a desktop machine (pcmcia hangs)03:01
danielslamont: not yet, but about to.  and a l-r-m.  with a new orig.03:01
lamontnon-laptops can have pcmcia03:01
mdzwell, not one capable of running Linux03:01
lamontdaniels: life goes on03:01
daniels(but l-r-m won't happen desperately soon, given the orig takes 45min to upload)03:01
mdzI assume it's non-pcmcia03:01
mdzI have a bug open in bugzilla about a Dell (go figure) which has this problem03:01
mdzour new slogan should be "Ubuntu: don't buy a Dell!  kthxbye"03:02
danielsheh03:02
danielsmdz: at least it has PCI03:02
ogramdz: i think you dont need to focus on getting pcmcia for non desktops to work03:02
mdzbarely03:02
danielssomeone tried installing Ubuntu on an ISA laptop not long ago03:02
Riddelllamont: ah, you're here03:02
lamontRiddell: replying to your mail now03:02
mdzI bet that fails spectacularly03:04
ograerr, /desktops/laptops/ indeed03:04
ajmitchhmm, /var is 50% full on my hoary box already03:05
ogramdz: i think it would have worked, but the lappie only had 32MB.....so the guy gave up after about 2 weeks of struggling...03:05

lamontrc  pcmcia-cs      3.2.5-7ubuntu6 PCMCIA Card Services for Linux03:07
lamontI had it installed on my desktop at one point...03:07
danielsmdz: quite spectacularly, yes03:07
Riddelllamont: thanks03:07
=== Riddell sleeps
danielsmdz: it also lacked a cd-rom drive03:08
danielsmdz: and had no netboot capability03:08
mdzlamont: it usually works03:08
mdzbut sometimes doesn't03:08
mdzd-i has a check it uses to decide whether to install pcmcia-cs03:09
mdzI think init.d/pcmcia-cs should do the same03:09
mdzand then we can install it unconditionally03:09
ogramdz: i can do more tests tomorrow morning if you like, any particular info i should collect additionally ?03:15
mdzogra: I think lamont is correct, and the problem is simply that pcmcia-cs is not installed03:16
mdzogra: please file a bug03:16
ograok03:16
lamontmdz: pointer to the logic?  and then I'll add it, upload, and update the package03:21

lamont"it's a feature"03:34
sladenthully_: mdz thinks he's fixed it today.  Have you tried the latest build?03:37
=== mdz launches a live CD build
mdzthe one that's building right now is the first one with the fix03:37
mdzthere is still a bug which breaks booting from a USB CD-ROM, though03:38
thully_no - I'm on a slow connection now03:38
mdzsome udev/proc/something race03:38
thully_No - i'm talking about using usb devices03:40
mdzthat's the one I fixed03:42
mdzthe one which remains has to do with booting from a USB device03:42
lamontis xfree86 supposed to be in main?03:45

lamontok03:48
mdznope03:48
elmomdz: can you fix the trigger scripts on little?03:49
thully_One small change that would make it less confusing, especially for dial-up users, would be to move the "No network" option from the ethernet card configuration to the screen where you are asked to select a network card03:49

mdzthully_: my current feeling is that it should try to bring up each interface in turn, and if it fails, simply move on without prompting03:51
thully_on the live CD or the install CD also? 03:51
mdzat least the live CD, and maybe the install CD03:51
thully_I heard from the upstream author of the TrackPoint patch (that at one point was in hoary) that a new version will be out soon which supports trackpoint scrolling.  can this be added to hoary?03:51
mdzI need to get Kamion's opinion03:52
thully_when it's ready03:52
mdzthully_: it was removed because it broke normal PS/2 mice03:52
danielsthully_: no, I told you as much in the bug03:52
mdzso it cannot be restored unless that entire class of bugs is fixed03:52
thully_well - I'll ask him if this was fixed in the latest version03:53
elmohmm, language-* is uninstallable.  neat.03:53
thully_what was the exact problem - did it screw up PS/2 mice connected to a laptop with a touchpad, or all PS/2 mice?03:54
danielsit would misdetect some normal PS/2 mice as being TrackPoints03:54
danielsthe moment any PS/2 patch (TrackPoint, ALPS, whatever) intrudes on other mice, it gets cut03:54
thully_what caused misdetection, out of curiosity, (so I can pass this on to the author of this patch) 03:55
elmoWTF03:56
danielsthully_: the TrackPoint patch probes the mouse to see what type it is (as with all of these wacky patches), but gets it wrong in some cases as it's too wide as to what it includes03:57
danielselmo: ?03:57
thully_OK03:58

elmoanyway, mirnyy is growing a cdimage mirror, it's already got daily-live/, if anyone's still struggling to get an update04:16
thully_and caused me to go crazy looking for my volume control - as now it is hidden by default when the sound is completely set to 004:17
elmomdz: can you change little to also pulse mirnyy, please?  for cdimage, I mean, it already does for releases04:17
mdzis it in the rotation for cdimage.u.c?04:17
elmomdz: not yet, no04:17
mdzelmo: if I read the script right, it already does04:17

lamonthave a nice day, it says04:52

mdzit turned out to be a kernel thread getting killed by a signal07:21

mdzColin patched it up this morning, and I fiddled with it until it worked07:22
jdubmdz: so in preparation for polypaudio, the recommended configuration is to close the device when it's not in use07:23
jdubmdz: but that may result in the device being opened by something not configured to use polypaudio/esd07:23
mdzjdub: thully will be thrilledully07:23
jdubheh07:24
lamontmdz: btw, current script just skips the partimage-scrubbing step if it's not there, so ia64 and amd64 should be rsyncable, but we'll have to keep an eye on the size of the image, and decide how often to rebuild it from scratch07:31

=== sivang think evince looks more of a gnome app, rather then an X hack like xpdf
seb128jdub: be careful, don't get a .desktop without a Icon= line or gnome-lauch-box will shock on it :)05:25
seb128sivang: gpdf too .. 05:25
jdubmartink: so how did evince dodge the font problem? does it cheat and not use pango, or...?05:25
sivangseb128: evince ru-lez, right? ;-)05:26
martinkjdub, cheat and not use gnome-print. Of course, suddenly lots of pdfs appear that look better in gpdf than in xpdf05:26
martinkjdub, it uses the same renderer as xpdf (and kpdf 3.4)05:26

jdubcan we make udev do fb earlier?08:11
jdubyeah08:11
mdzudevstart walks /sys and creates the device nodes synchronously08:11
thullythe one big issue with current network setup is that if you want an interface to DHCP on boot, it will stall bootup until it finds a network or times out08:12

wasabi_ahh I see what's going on08:18
wasabi_the kernel packages have the non-.gz one... update-initrd makes a .gz one.08:19
wasabi_update-initrd is just confusing because it's present.08:19
wasabi_update-initrd actually builds an initrd for the specified kernel, copying all the scsi/ide modules into it. I had *thought* that linux-image ran it in postinst... I just had assusmed, hadn't looked at it.08:20

netdurno, I try to convert my gtk+ app to gnome app10:10

Riddelllamont: ok, don't do amarok until I've sorted kdebindings then10:36
lamont3. Virtual packages in Build-Depends. If you use a virtual package in your build depends (and thereby leave it up to the buildd to pick one for you, maybe even the right one...), and said package is not in the archive yet, then you'll get dep-waited on the virtual package name. And it won't ever be cleared until someone uploads a package with that name, or you get lamont to clear it. Please don't build-depend on virtual packages.10:38
crimsun3a. Always bug lamont.10:39
lamontcrimsun: and he'll give you a pointer to the logs/lists.10:39
crimsunlamont: stuffed. :/10:40
lamont3b. tell lamont what you actually want done (clear the dep-wait, give it back, etc)10:40

dholbachogra: what did you do? your statistic is all wrong? ;-p11:26
mdzI was leaning toward 'tools'11:26
sivangmdz: then tools, you decided for it at the end no? ;-)11:26
mdzbecause it's the same length, and is an actual word, rather than an abbreviation11:26
mxpxpoddholbach: he has part of his search messed up because of screwed up md5 sums11:26
jdz_mdz: you said yourself, "Ubuntu-specific utilities" :)11:26
ograi rely on my system...its almost always right :) tools > utils11:27
ogramxpxpod: i'm currently not on ppc ;)11:27
mxpxpodogra: oh, nevermind that, dholbach :)11:27
mdzjdz_: yes, but ubuntu-utilities is long and awkward to type :-)11:27
lamontmdz: too many u's.11:28
mxpxpodogra: hopefully this little md5 issue will be fixed soon11:28
jdz_mdz: of course, but utils is shorter while retaining the intended meaning!11:28
dholbachwhat will those "utools" be for?11:28
mdzjdz_: "utils" is a technical abbreviation which is common in Unix and almost nowhere else11:28
ogramxpxpod: as soon as elmo fixes it...11:28
mdz"tools" has a very similar meaning, but is equally meaningful in a less specialized context11:29
mxpxpodogra: as soon as he wakes up...11:29
mdzmxpxpod: it is 2230 in elmo-land11:29
mxpxpodmdz: ah, ok11:29
mxpxpodmy bad11:29
ogramxpxpod: he probably has real world probs to solve11:29
dholbachmdz: what will those tools/utils be for?11:30
ografinally the livecds have finished downloading...11:30
mdzdholbach: just some simple informational scripts at the moment11:32
dholbachmdz: a tool is something, i'd expect to do some clever, but small amount of work for me, utils are things that do stuff in the background... but i won't bitch... just go ahead ;-)11:34
lifelessmicro-tools, love it11:36
mdzdholbach: the first example is that I wanted to provide a simple tool to determine whether the system is running an official Ubuntu kernel, and show the version number11:36
=== usual [~colin@alb-69-202-36-134.nycap.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzit is currently confusing, because there are kernels from different sources, and they have both a kernel release number and a package version number (which are similar in syntax, but distinct)11:37
mdzmizar:[.../canonical/ubuntu-tools-0.1]  ./ubuntu-kernel-version11:37
mdzThis system appears to be running an Ubuntu packaged Linux kernel11:37
mdzlinux-image-2.6.10-2-k7 version 2.6.10-1011:37
lifelessmdz: so how, check the md5sum ?11:37
mdzlifeless: it guesses11:38
mdzthere's no way to tell authoritatively where the kernel in memory came from11:38
mdzif there is, I'd like to hear about it11:38
lifelessmmm, nice problem.11:39
ogramdz: probably through the build time ?11:39
mdzit would be handy if the boot loader would give us an md5 or something11:39
mdzogra: that would be a good additional check, hmm11:40
mdzwould need to extract the string from the on-disk image11:40

ogramdz: i think the build machine hostname is in there too11:41
lifelesswhat I was thinking was go module-dir -> dpkg for the package name, if thats missing is not official, then -> the image matching that module dir according to dpkg, and check the image md5sum11:41
mdzlifeless: module-dir is the same as version number11:41
mdzso what I currently do is take the version number, look for a package, and do some sanity checks11:42
mdzI'm adding ogra's suggestion as an additional one11:42
dholbachmdz: i guess naming it -tools or -utils is rather inconsiderable, just an expression of the current pent-up emotions, so i won't stop you there, i'll rather give my blessing :-)11:42
mdzthat should catch cases where the kernel has been upgraded, but the system hasn't been rebooted yet, also11:42
mdzdholbach: hence the straw poll :-)11:42
