jdubwhoa03:49
sivangcan someone suggest why I am not able to run g-s-t::users-admin from within my hoary chroot?04:19
sivangjdub: you have an idea why is needed to do in order to run X/GNOME clients under a chroot?04:24
jduba crap load of everything04:26
jdubyou're better off using a debootstrapped chroot than a minimal chroot04:27
jdubor uml or something04:27
jdubfirst problem is that you won't have access to the display04:27
danielsjdub: well, if you bind-mount $HOME, you get ~/.Xauthority04:28
daniels(don't forget to bind-mount /tmp/.X11-unix for the transport)04:28
jdubyeah, but that's just the start ;)04:28
danielswell, running GNOME can be a pain04:31
danielsnever really did work out how to run multiple GNOME sessions as the same user on the same machine04:32
daniels(different $DISPLAYs, obviously)04:32
jdz_oh, thats a big proublem04:38
jdz_with a 2nd gnome login, most of the applets are dead, genearly looks horable, etc04:38
sivangeh well, I was not really looking to run the whole session, only some selected apps.04:45
sivangjdub: ot04:48
sivangerghh, crappy keyboard.04:48
sivangjdub , daniels : it's amazing how much I learn that I do not yet know just from you answering my questions :) what is bind-mount? 04:49
sivang(hmm, maybe mounting my original home folder from the chroot env?...)04:50
jdz_sivang: mount -o bind /source-location /destination04:50
danielssivang: it basically glues two locations together04:51
danielssivang: i have /home/daniels/chroot/hoary-newx/home bind-mounted to /home, so it's like an exactly mirror04:51
danielssivang: think like a symlink, but works within chroots, etc04:51
sivangdaniels: cool, tnx04:52
sivangdaniels: so then for the duration of the bind mount my original home folder "vanishes" and the chroot one is used instead?04:53
danielssivang: yeah04:53
jdz_They both exist :)04:53
daniels/home in the chroot looks exactly like your usual /home04:53
daniels(i assume you mean that the original /home you had in your chroot vanishes)04:54
sivangyes04:54
jdz_ah, right04:54
danielsright04:54
sivangdaniels: so, any breakage I would create in the chroot's home, basically ruins my own home from the main system...04:55
sivangsorry, s/chroot's home/chroot's user home folder/04:55
danielssivang: correct04:56
sivangdaniels: ok, tnx++04:57
sivangphew, if you forget the bind mount gnome is also non usable on the other login...05:04

wasabi_There some plan for gcc 4.0 anywhere?05:17
wasabi_=)05:17
sivangwasabi_: shush, don't let fabbione here you, he may be already awake...;-)05:18
wasabi_haha05:18
wasabi_I just actually noticed debian has it in experimental.05:18
sivangwasabi_: that's like extra breakage sources for sid right? (it's not somthing more unstable then sid IIRC)05:19
wasabi_I bet it's in there because of sarge.05:20
wasabi_woh. it moved.05:22
sivangwhen I have something like that in the debian/rulez, does that mean it uses cdbs?05:34
sivanginclude /usr/share/gnome-pkg-tools/1/rules/uploaders.mk05:34
sivangjdub: this is from the g-s-t source pkg.05:35
ajmitchit looks similar to cdbs05:36
ajmitchbut is gnome-pkg-tools05:36
wasabi_That's the peice of the gnome packages that adds the gnome package maintainers to it.05:37
wasabi_It's an odd setup... Debian's pkg-gnome group.05:37
wasabi_Packages have a control.in, with @GNOME_UPLOADERS@ in it.05:37
wasabi_Each member of the pkg-gnome team has their name/email stuck in there.05:37
sivangwierd05:38
sivangwierd05:38
wasabi_well, it works. It's so each member of the team can upload, but each person can remain the maintainer of their own packages.05:38
sivangwasabi_: the control.in is supposed to be als oin that package? I'll look there..05:38
wasabi_The control.in is in the package that uses gnome-pkg-tools.05:39
sivangclean::05:39
sivangsed "s/@GNOME_TEAM@/$(uploaders)/" \05:39
sivangdebian/control.in > debian/control05:39
sivangyep05:40
sivangboy, emacs has such a nice coloring for make files..05:40
sivangwasabi_: basically, all those include file and cdbs's are make file classes right? inherent feature of the make lanugage.05:41
wasabi_yeah05:42
sivangwasabi_: then it's really all sums up to what mdz/jdub said, if you start with reading the make manual, everything will look easier after..;-)05:42
sivang(you have to finish reading it ofcourse)05:42
wasabi_i never read the thing05:44
wasabi_i still barely grasp it05:44
=== wasabi_ compiling gcc-4.0 for hoary
sivangwasabi_: so how do you manage to munge your daily dose of pkgs?05:45
sivangcdbs?05:46
wasabi_eh?05:46
wasabi_sometimes.05:46
wasabi_cdbs if possible.05:46
sivangwasabi_: and on the other times? ;)05:46
wasabi_For Eclipse, cdbs was impossible.05:46
wasabi_So I learned make.05:46
wasabi_actually basic make is really easy.05:46
wasabi_learning how to set up your rules to actually make a package, and understanding debhelper, is a bit harder.05:47
sivangI see.05:49
=== ironwolf [~ironwolf@c-24-6-169-124.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sivangwasabi_: so , a quick question, I have a pacakge, all set and building/installing ok, I just want it to install another file in a specific location, how do I add this to the rules/dh_* commands?05:52
wasabi_just copy it into the temp install directory before you run dh_builddeb05:52
wasabi_probably using "install"05:52
sivangok, I'll try that, tnx.05:53

=== usual [~colin@69.202.36.134] has joined #ubuntu-devel
ograhow does one declare a function not implicit ?03:27
azeemyou #include the correct header file03:28
azeemman strndup should tell you which03:28
thomogra: also, strndup isn't portable, it's a gnu extension03:29
azeemthat's what gnulib is for, I guess03:30
ograthom: its just for my ubuntu lockscreen hack, i doubt it will get used anywhere else....so nongnu wont be a prob03:30
smurfixazeem: ? it's in glibc03:30
thomah, fair enough03:30
azeemsmurfix: or that03:31
thomogra: anyway, string.h and #define _GNU_SOURCE03:31
jbaileysmurfix: Portability, good. =)03:31
smurfixthom: the other way round, actually ;-)03:31
ogragreat, thanks :-D03:31
azeemsmurfix: it was my understanding that gnulib includes the gnu extensions so you can have them on non-glibc systems03:32
mjg59Argh.03:32
mjg59There's no real chance of there being ACPI smart battery support integrated into the kernel before Hoary03:32
mjg59Which isn't an issue in itself - we can add it with a patch03:33
mjg59But the smart battery code presents different information in a different place to the control method battery code03:33
thomjbailey: i'm planning to start scribbling about server team stuff monday or so; today is building furniture day03:33
mjg59So the battery status app would have to be updated03:33
mjg59Opinions?03:33
thommjg59: "Argh." summed it up quite nicely03:33
smurfixazeem: only for non-glibc systems; on Linux it doesn' make sense to duplicate what's already in glibc03:33
azeemsmurfix: eh, sure03:34
azeemthom was talking about portability, though03:34
jbaileyazeem: That's the general idea.  You put in configure hackery so that it uses glibc when possible.03:34
jbaileythom: a'ight.  It was mostly the, "I'd like to be involved in this, I think I had alot to add"...03:34
mjg59thom: It should be a simple matter of coding03:35
thommjg59: seriously, though, are the benefits of smart battery support worthwhile enough to do this before hoary? 03:35
mjg59If we do it, Acer owners get battery status. If we don't, they don't.03:35
thommjg59: ... the "simple matter of coding" list is getting quite long ;-)03:35
thomjbailey: nod03:35
mjg59Ha. No, it's just going to be populating some structs in gnome-battery-applet03:36

jdubbut it's the universal solution :)03:38
mjg59There's also been some progress on the Thinkpad excessive power draw stuff03:39
fabbioneisn't apic = advanced programmable interrupt controller or something like that?03:39

robertj_ogra: i'm sure I actually could manage to hack out the fsck checks by default, but if everyone doesn't agree it would be rather pointless08:57
ograrobertj_:fsck isnt universe :-P08:57
thomrobertj_: the thing to do, is to ensure that fsck runs in the foreground and make sure it copes with being ctrl+c'd08:57

thomthat would seem like the optimal solution...09:00

robertj_thom: why should the fs be randomly corrupted though unless it's a hardware problem? And if it's a hardware problem, wouldn't bringing the machine down for a reboot  be the wrong choice of action09:01

sivangpitti: Just seen the post about the locales depends for the language packs, maybe there is a possibility of of asking the user when installing the pack if he wants his locale modified and created?09:15
robertj_anything that can be reasonably done after bootup is good, but by default anything that could disrupt their non-gui experience is a bad thing if it can be at all avoided09:15
ograARGH09:16
pittisivang: nooooooo09:16
pittisivang: this is not what debconf is for09:16
ogradid anybody ever check this ubuntuguide ? 09:16
pittisivang: the locale can be created without asking09:16
ograhttp://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories09:16
pittisivang: but the default locale should not be modified09:16
pittisivang: you can easily set it in gdm, or if you want, with dpkg-reconfigure locales09:17
sivangpitti:I know that, but I was thinking maybe there is an automatic way to do this for the "uninitiated" localized distros..;-)09:17
pittisivang: but you can already set the default locale in the installer09:18
sivangpitti: ah ok, then, I would love you to show me this - I'd like to create a proof of concept dervied livecd/installer cd09:18
sivangpitti: (localized)09:18
ograOMG, anybody following this guide will totally f**ck his system with marillat stable unstable and testing anebled at the same time and the backports in...09:19
pittisivang: but AFAIK the live cd also uses some degenerated sort of installer, right?09:19
ogragah09:19
sivangpitti: yes ;-)09:19
pittisivang: so this installer should ask for the default locale09:20
pittisivang: (which is to be put into /etc/environment)09:20
sivangpitti: hmm, ok, when the kbd selector is done, this is all redundent. You are right! 09:20
sivangpitti: (new kbd selector smurifx is working on would guess the person's locale)09:20
pittisivang: s/ask/determine and set it/09:20
sivangpitti: yep, ok, it's all matter of waiting for this to be ready, cool enough. I shall respond to that person post then, explainig this. He is very keen to have this added to the language pack.09:21
pittisivang: as I already replied, I think it makes perfect sense to generate the relevant locales in the langpacks09:22
sivangpitti: so you're saying to move the locale generation from the installer to the langpack based on the info that the intelligent kbd chooser put in /etc/evnironment?09:25
sivangpitti: (thus eliminating the need for dpkg-reconfigure locales manually)09:25
=== srbaker [~srbaker@blk-222-184-192.eastlink.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittisivang: hmm, not quite. /etc/environment handles the default, and this should be set in the installer09:26
pittisivang: and this default can be changed with e. g. dpkg-reconfigure locales09:27
pittisivang: and I am still not sure about who does the locale generations; eventually it might get thrown out of the "locales" package09:27
sivangpitti: ok, I just understood from your last email that you don't think that the locale generation should happen on installation of the langpacks..09:34
sivangpitti: I understood wrongly then ;-)09:35

srbakerso i want to take evolution, rip out the mail client, and make it use rubrica for address book.10:27
srbakeranyone know the evo code well enough to know whether or not that's feasable?10:27
srbakerbalsa is a little uh, strange10:28
Mithrandirsrbaker: just replace the addressbook backend, very much feasible.10:28
srbakerhrm.10:29
Mithrandirsrbaker: bit of work, though.  And you want to do it in evolution-data-server, naturally10:29
Mithrandirand you want to add a new type, not remove the current one10:29
srbakerwell, i hate evolution.  but i think it would make a good mail client ot start from10:29
