Amaranthi love users12:32
ivoks:)12:32
\shi'm thinking to fast , faster then I can move my fingers ;)12:32
hervethat and ogra always saying "then" when he means "then"12:32
Amaranthone of them sent me a translation for smeg and another actually wrote the translation code for me12:32
hervequite many germans people do the same mistake12:32
Amaranththe code to generate pot files and compile conversions and etc12:33
herveAmaranth, yes, I'm managing a project at this time12:33
herveI'm the user/developer wanting to push the project further :-)12:33
herveAmaranth, gettext?12:33
Amaranthdon't suppose any of you know how to deal with translations and .desktop files12:33

Amaranthi mean, i know you do Name[de] =whatever but is there a way to use gettext and etc to generate that for you?12:34
\shmy laptop is melting ;)12:34
hervenot that I know12:34
herve\sh, try as I do, place an usb fan towards it :-)12:35
Amaranthok, i'll just have to take patches against the .desktop files12:35
herve(a usb...)12:35
\shherve: hahaha :)12:35
\shan usb is correct ;)12:35
\shherve: there is no place anymore for an usb fan :)12:35
herveno, "u" sounds like a consomn (?)12:35
herveso "a" is needed12:35
herveunless you pronounce it as "ou" of course :-)12:36
\shi thought [uiao]  needs an "an"   ;)12:37
\shthink i need another holiday in an anglosaxxon country ;)12:37
herveit depends on how the pronounciation of the word begins12:38
hervepronouncing "i" is a mess in english12:38
=== lamont [~lamont@mix.mmjgroup.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
hervethere are like three ways to pronounce it12:38
lamontquantlib looks to be a dpkg-architecture victim12:38
hervedepending on the origin of the word, etc.12:38
hervehi lamont12:39
\shherve: so it's an ubuntu linux, but a usb fan?12:39
herveI think so12:39
herveit's "oubountou", not "ioubountou"12:39
lamontone could argue an USB, or a USB...12:40
hervebut my english skills are melting like ice12:40
\shor an universal serial bus ;)12:40
lamontbut given that USB is generally pronounced by stating the 3 letters, and the named letter U doesn't start with a vowel.....12:40
herve\sh, no, "iouniversal" ;()12:40
lamontherve: an universe12:40
herveyou teach me that one12:41

doogluswhere should I report 'universe' bugs in breezy?02:10
dooglushttps://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ ?  or is there somewhere separate?02:11
ajmitchlaunchpad.ubuntu.com/malone02:12
doogluswow, really?02:12
dooglushow would I know to use that site instead of the regular bugzilla?  is there a webpage somewhere?  or how?02:14
ajmitchdooglus: would I tell you a lie? :)02:14
ajmitchhave a look in the channel topic02:15
dooglusajmitch: I believe you, but if I hadn't stumbled upon this channel (and it does have quite an odd name) then I would have submitted the bug to bugzilla.u.c...  and it wouldn't have told me not to02:17
ajmitchyes, and it's listed on the wiki as well, I believe02:18
doogluswhat about bugs in main for breezy?  where do they go?02:18
ajmitchbugzilla02:18
dooglusand bugs in main for hoary?02:18
ajmitchbugzilla02:18
dooglusis there a field that I can use to speficy whether the bug shows up in hoary or breezy?02:19
ajmitchprobably write in the comment02:19
dooglusajmitch: ok, fine.  thanks.02:20
dooglusI just noticed.  if I go to bugzilla and try to 'add a bug', it offers a link to launchpad for 'ubuntu universe' bugs...02:21
dooglushowever, it's right at the end, and the 3rd link was to bugzilla, and that's apparently for "any issues with anything distributed as part of Ubuntu".02:21
dooglusperhaps that message should be clearer - is 'universe' part of ubuntu or not?  it's not clear.02:22
ajmitchperhaps you could file a bug about it in bugzilla? :)02:23
dooglusheh, funny you should say that...02:30

ivoksajmitch: BIG PING :)11:09
ivoksajmitch: < fabbione> ivoks: the patch isn't extremely bad.. if you can get people to work on userland, i can consider patching the kernel11:09
Lathiativoks: waz dat fir>11:10
Lathiatfor11:10
SquishyWaffleGreetings, I just stumbled my way through creating my first package :)11:10
ivoksLathiat: layer7 filtering11:11
Lathiativoks: specifics?11:11
ivoksLathiat: firewall that would filter traffic based on protocol, not ports11:11
Lathiativoks: sounds cpu intensive :)11:12
ivoksLathiat: so you would say, HTTP OK, FTP NOTOK11:12
ivoksLathiat: it isn't that much...11:12
ivoksi filter 300 computers with that...11:12
Lathiativoks: but does it do it on like every packet11:12
Lathiativoks: or like start of connection11:12
ivoksLathiat: http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/technicaldetails11:12
ivoksit checks only first package11:13
ivokspacket :)11:13
Lathiativoks: ah, sounds cool11:13
Lathiativoks: but i mean like, a bit of data needs to pass for these things, does it just rudely reset it if none of it matches?11:14
ivoksLathiat: it isn't that cpu intensive11:14
ivoksit's quite nice11:14
Lathiativoks: or does it just listen to both sides before passing any data11:14
Lathiativoks: because assumedly one side will send something first11:14
ivoks?11:14
ivoksLathiat: you define will you be allowed to establish connection11:15
ivoksso.. it's posibble to ban all incoming HTTP requests11:15
ivoksbut you will be able to establish any HTTP connection outside11:15
ivokslike normal netfilter11:15
\shivoks: this is not new11:16
ivoksacctually, this is just a appendix for netfilter :)11:16
ivoks\sh: of course it's not new :)11:16
ivoks\sh: but tell me, how would you ban any HTTP request on local maching from outside?11:16
\shivoks: securecomputing sidewinder11:17
ivoksyou can't do that with netfilter the way it is now11:17
ivokslol11:17
\shivoks: no joke...most of beautiful things of securecomputing is in there :)11:18
ivoks\sh: but you aren't telling me that everyone should buy sidewinder, aren't you? :)11:19
\shivoks: and I'm trained on it11:19
ivoksand it isn't free11:19
ivoks:)11:19
ivoksso, it's uselss to us11:20
ivokslike UNIX :)(11:20
\shivoks: the problem is, in a company I can't come with a solution for highsec and tell them: "hey, use this one, it's free, nobody give u a garanty or warranty, but it's working"11:21
ivoks\sh: i'm not telling about company11:23
ivoks\sh: i'm talking about home users11:23
\shivoks: does a home user need really layer7 filtering?11:23
ivoks\sh: i would say, yes11:23
\shdoes a homeuser knows what layer7 filtering is?11:24
ivokshe doesn't need to know that he's using that11:24
ivokshome user wants "i want HTTP" "I want P2P11:24
\shso we should make the same mistake like ms?11:24
ivoksbut i don't want "that an that"11:24
ivoks?11:24
\shtelling the user that he can secure himself, without a clue what he's doing?11:25
ivoks\sh: not without a clue11:25
\shivoks: most normal home users haven't any clue...this is the pitfall in MS thinking11:25
ivoksbut home user doesn't want to know anything about iptables11:25
\shivoks: no, they want to have things like firestarter, or "personal firewalls"11:26
ivokshe just wants to work11:26
ivoksright11:26
\shso a normal iptables packet filter does it for u. most propably he's using the packetfilter on his dsl router11:26
\shhe doesn't need layer7 filtering11:26
\shbut11:26
ivoks\sh: normal netfilter does not do it right11:26
ivoksyou can't block fasttrack and allow http with netfilter11:27
ivokswithout going to layer 711:27
ivoksthey use same ports (80)11:27
\sha enterprise edition of * Linux for ISPs or SOHOs they need layer7 and more :)11:27
\shwhatever fasttrack is ;)11:28
ivoks\sh: p2p network11:28
\shhmm........11:28
ivoksone of most popular..11:28
ivoksat least, it was :)11:29
\shso the return port is 80?11:29
dokoajmitch: ping11:29
ivoks\sh: yes11:29
\shivoks: so it's different...11:29
ivoks\sh: http://www.kazaa.com/us/index.htm11:29
\shhttp -> questioning port == 8011:29
\shhttp -> answering port > 102411:30
\shfasttrack -> questioning port => ?11:30
\shfastrack -> answering port == 80?11:30
ivoksyes11:30
\shfor what layer7 then?11:30
\shfilter incoming port of 80 and block it11:31
\shor accept it11:31
ivoksah...11:31
ivoksdid you ever fight against p2p in your backyard? :)11:31
\shit makes more sense, if u have a httpd running on your side, and u want to filter the incoming requests11:31
\shivoks: no...11:31
ivoks\sh: i did... closing ports is useless11:32
\shivoks: why? if u want to use fasttrack open port 80 incoming, if not, close it11:32
ivoksbut it connects to other computers on port 8011:32
ivoksand you can deny outgoing traffic to 8011:33
\shivoks: thats outgoing11:33
ivokss/can/can't/11:33
ivoks\sh: i started disscusion on ubuntu-devel, so I would appriciate any comments or sugestions11:34
\shivoks: of course u can :) install squid on one special machine, open port 8080 for all users, configure filter for fasttrack detection and deny all requests of this filter11:34
\shthe rest can go out, open outgoing connections from squid server to port 80 outside11:34
ivoksand what about other networks?11:35
ivoksthat don't have same port all the time11:35
ivoksfor example, winmx11:35
ivoksthere is no way to filter it11:35
\shivoks: as I said, a firewall is not a software solution, it's a concept.11:35
ivoks\sh: i agree11:35
ivoks\sh: but you can't have squids on local machines11:36
ivokswell...11:36
\shif u say: no p2p block all p2p ports..if one p2p network using common ports e.g. http, u need to filter on application level11:36
ivoksi have to go now11:36
\shbut this is not for homeusers11:36
ivokstopic is on ubundu-devel, please, comment there11:36
\shif homeuser wants to have p2p -> open it, if not, close it11:36
ivoks\sh: problem is...11:37
ivoks\sh: does user know on what port p2p works?11:37
ivokswouldn't it be easier "open p2p" "close p2p"?11:37
ivoksi think that is much better then "open 80, 4111, 2345, 1234, but close 1234 and 452"11:38
ivokss/452/4551/ :)11:38

shawarmaHi! I'm a bit confused by the procedures for becoming a master of the universe... I have created a package, so there's no point in putting it into the UniverseCandidates as it's already made... What am I supposed to do?03:24
\shif it's a new package (not in debian neither in ubuntu: MOTUNewPackages)03:25
\shfor becoming a MOTU u have to go the steps of "Ubuntu Member" -> "MOTU"03:25
shawarma\sh: Ok. What if it was already in Debian (it's not, but the next package might be)03:25
herveshawarma, MOTU is a special status you don't need to maintain packages03:26
herve\sh, you forgot a step :-)03:26
\shinstall ubuntu?03:26
\shoh now03:26
\sh-w03:26
DanielNherve03:26
herveshawarma, it would be better if it enters Debian first03:26
\shcreate a wiki page..without a wiki page u won't  become a member ;)03:26
DanielNi deleted debian_stuff03:26
herve\sh, maintainer != motu03:26
DanielNas ivoks said to me03:26
herveDanielN, what? no leave it :-)03:27
ivoks:>03:27
herveyou're supposed to be less instrusive as possible in the upstream package03:27
=== herve kicks ivoks!
ivoksherve: come on03:27
\shherve: he asked: [15:24]  <shawarma> Hi! I'm a bit confused by the procedures for becoming a master of the universe.03:27
ivoksthat debian_stuff is for debian package03:27
shawarmaI have to say that I'm not less confused now.. :-)03:27
ivoksshawarma: fist, you have to create your own wiki page03:28
shawarmaI thought Masters of the universe was the group of maintainers of the universe.03:28
shawarmaivoks: Done.03:28
\shshawarma: motus doesn't maintain packages...we r giving love to the packages ;)03:28
ivoksshawarma: then you have to apply for a Ubuntu Member03:28
\shbut a motu could be a package maintainer03:28
shawarmashawarma: But in order to become that I have to have done stuff, but I can't do stuff before I'm a member... Or?03:28
shawarmaivoks: That was for you..03:28
\shshawarma: u can ask for reviewing and sponsored upload :)03:29
\shshawarma: u can prepare your wiki page03:29
ivoksto become ubuntu member, you have to something for community03:29
\shwrite documentation whatever ubuntu related for the community03:29
herveivoks, it's harmless to leave it, and I don't like the idea of removing stuff in upstream packages03:29
shawarma\sh: 2 questions: What do you mean by "giving love"? Who do I ask for sponsorship?03:29
ivoksherve: well... ok03:29
ivoksno sponsorship here03:30
\shshawarma: wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUNewPackages03:30
ivokseverybody will help you03:30
ivoksdamn..03:30
ivokshdf5 needs a lot of patching :(03:30
\shshawarma: we will review the packages and deciding then if it goes into the repos e.g.03:30
\shivoks: hahaha u have it ;)03:30
ivoksmine still didn't :)03:30
ivokswarning: the address of 'H5G_init_interface', will always evaluate as 'true'03:31
\shivoks: check the rules file03:31
ivoksi get like hunderts of these and a like :)03:31
\shthe package name depends on the rules and version of changelog03:31
ivoks\sh: package is ok...03:31
\shits a mess03:31
ivokssource isn't nice for g++403:31
ivoksor gcc403:31
\shivoks: u checked the other page? with the debian bug reports?03:32

ivoksit compiles :)03:32
\shwarnings ;)03:32
ivoksjust with 1000^7 warnings :)03:32
shawarmaOk. Now it's added to MOTUNewPackages... so now I just wait?03:33
DanielNherve: what about when now?03:33
ivokstypedef unsigned long long      hsize_t;03:34
ivokssomeone was drunk when doing this :)03:34
\shshawarma: sad but true03:34
shawarma\sh: It's only sad if the wait is long..03:34
\shshawarma: right now we're in a cxx transition and it takes all our power03:34
ivoksshawarma: it is03:34
\shshawarma: well...check d.b.o/wnpp ;)03:34
ivoksshawarma: now we are totally occupied with cxx03:34
\shu will find packages waiting for >1 year..but we're faster03:35
shawarma\sh: I'd imagine. Debian is not the fastest organization in the world. :-)03:35
herveDaniel, continuing the review03:35
\shshawarma: imagine we're only 20 ppl03:35
\sh20?03:35

\shogra: recruiting ;)03:36
ivoksit's 4MB gizped messed source...03:36
herveivoks, want an aspirin? :-)03:36
shawarmaCan you explain this MOTU thing again? You are just the guys with upload privileges, or what? Or how do you differ from the package maintainers?03:37
ivoks\sh: there is new debian hdf503:38
ivoks\sh: should i use that one? :)03:38
herveshawarma, yes we upload packages but that's only a part of it03:39
herveivoks, I'd like a sync, yes03:39
herveshawarma, we upload because we fix packages and sync with debian03:39
\shivoks: sure03:39
\shsync it, if it's not already03:39
ivoksah, no new things in -303:39
herveshawarma, the motus also approve new packages and new colleagues03:40
ivoksonly fixes in debian/*03:40
ivoksdamn... :(03:40
herveivoks, still, sync it please03:40
ivoksherve: sure03:40
ivoksi was hoping for some patches :)03:40
hervelike debian would care for gcc 4 for now ;-)03:40
hervebut check upstream too03:41
herveyou can sync a new one with -0ubuntu1 as the revision03:41
ivoksi know03:41
ivoksi did that with wifi-radar03:41
shawarmaherve: Ok... I just got confused because on the MOTURecruitment page it says that if you want to become a MOTU, you go to the MaintainerCandidates page, and on the MOTU page it says to go to MOTURecruitment if you want to be a maintainer. I assumed MOTU == maintainer.03:41
ivokswich still isn't uploaded :)03:42
herveshawarma, I know it's a mess, I felt the same :-)03:42
siretarthm. mesa is challenging :)03:43
shawarmaherve: So I'm still not totally sure.. I guess I just want to be a regular maintainer (don't have time for all the stuff you guys apparantly do).. Where is that process outlined?03:43
shawarmaherve: Sorry to bother you with all my stupid questions when you're so busy, I'm just very eager to get started on helping out.03:44
ivoksyes, there is new version03:44
\shshawarma: follow the DD way03:45
shawarma\sh: Become Debian Developer first?03:45
\shor put the package on MOTUNewPackages and ask for review + upload03:45
\shshawarma: this is for us the best way...get the package inside debian, we sync03:45
herveshawarma, ask yourself two questions: what have you done for ubuntu so far, and what do you want to do as a maintaner?03:45
shawarma\sh: Stupid question: Where to as for review + upload?03:45
\shshawarma: here? :)03:46
herveshawarma, you have to prove you're a valued member and you will bring help to the universe03:46
ivoksshawarma: you can start with porting hdf5 :)03:46
herveif it's just for making a package entering ubuntu, it's not worth the effort03:46
\shrotfl03:46
shawarma\sh: I've tried to become a Debian Developer for ages, but I need signatures and stuff, and there aren't a lot of DD's around here to sign my key..03:47
\shshawarma: there is another possibility03:47
ivoksshawarma: well, you need signatuers here too03:47
\shshawarma: u can send at least your passport copy or whatever to them03:47
ivoksshawarma: but not only from ubuntu or debian developers03:47
siretartshawarma: what package are you talking about? why do I think it should be in ubuntu?03:47
shawarmalbtouch. it's a driver for a touchscreen found on Fujitsu Lifebooks.03:48
shawarmaIt should be in Ubuntu because I need the package and other people probably need it as well.03:48
ivoksoh, god, no...03:49
siretartshawarma: ah, sounds great.03:49
ivoksdebian patch for hdf5 has...03:49
ivoks96000 lines :(03:49
ivoksjesus...03:49
shawarmaivoks: Really? who can sign it besides them?03:49
siretartshawarma: I think it would very helpfull if there was a MOTU or ubuntu developer who could test your package03:50
shawarmasiretart: Sure would. It's listed on the NewPackages page.03:50
shawarmaIt generates one of those -source-packages usable with the module-assistant.03:51
\shsiretart: it could go with the laptop testing03:51
siretart\sh: great idea!03:51
ivokslol! i can't belive it03:51
ivokssource has comment like: /* Define if `dev_t' is a scalar */03:51
\shshawarma: your package is on MOTUNewPackages?03:52
ivoksand debian maintainter fix it into:03:52
shawarma\sh: Yup.03:52
ivoks /* Define if \`dev_t' is a scalar */03:52
ivokswhat's with the \? :))))03:52
ivoksit's comment, doesn't get parsed :)03:52
shawarmaivoks: *G*03:53
\shshawarma: i see what i can do03:54
shawarma\sh: You can search for lbtouch.03:54
shawarma\sh: That'd be great!03:54
shawarma\sh: there's no rush, I just want to be sure that I've done everything right and someone will look at it eventually.03:55
shawarma\sh: If adding it to MOTUNewPackages should be sufficient, I'll just wait.03:55
\shshawarma: right now, we have a project with laptop testing..i think we will find one with a lifebook03:55
shawarma\sh: Ok. to make it work 100%, you need an X-driver, which I'm going to package later today.03:56
\shhehe...we need this as well03:58

herveAnHu, if you already have it up for your system, that's the best I can do06:36
AnHuok no problem.06:38
hervealso, check with the backports team06:38
hervemaybe they did it, or they will be interested by your work06:39
AnHuis there a project for actual hoary packages? Are this the backports?06:39
herveyes06:39
hervegoogle will help you find them06:40
hervemore than me, I mean :-)06:40

mitsuhikohey. I've found someting10:50
mitsuhikomplayer can use 3 methods to sync video and audio10:50
mitsuhiko1.) old internal usleep()10:50
mitsuhikowhich is not the best one10:51
mitsuhiko2.) RTC -> there you have to do echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq10:51
tsengso hang on10:51
mitsuhiko3.) run mplayer with -softsleep10:51
tsengyou kids all want to make an initscript to set a sysctl?10:51
mitsuhikook. i've found the problem of method 210:52
tsengdid you consider /etc/sysctl.conf?10:52
zygatseng: :->10:53
mitsuhikosome notebooks with speedstep will get problems when /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq is greater than 6410:53
tsengi didnt say just throw it in there10:53
zygatseng: as you might have noticed IANA debian/ubuntu developer10:53
tsengi mean document it so that users who want it can add the line10:53
mitsuhikoselflinux.org recommends method 310:54

lsuactiafnerummm11:10
Amaranthjlj has wmv3 working on vlc11:10
zygatseng: I could count people that understand what a codec is on one hand11:10
Amaranthi need to kick him in the pants and make him commit it to cvs11:10
lsuactiafnertseng : it is revelant to ubuntu, mplayer for 32bit systems i suppose cna play wmv with the correct codecs11:10
lsuactiafneron 64bit systems mplayer-amd64 cant play wmv even witht he correct codecs.11:11
zygalsuactiafner: win32 codecs are probably illegal11:11
tsengprobably?11:11
tsengdefinately11:11
tsengthere is 0 distributability11:11
lsuactiafneryeh but i dont care if its legal11:11
zygatseng: depending on your location11:11
zygatseng: ;-) think china11:11
zygatseng: think kuba11:11
zyga:>11:11
lsuactiafneri live in south-africa and my vice-president steals millions, proven in court and nothing is done about it11:12
lsuactiafnerhe doesnt even have the decency to leave his office11:12
Amaranthlsuactiafner: I +q'ed you in #ubuntu for talking about this stuff, don't do it here too.11:12
lsuactiafnerno way the authorities will care if i opened up @ winxp cd factory11:12
zygaubuntu does not like to be like your vice president11:12
lsuactiafneroh yes11:13
lsuactiafnerjust saying a 32bit binary is needed for ppl who want to break the law and live on the edge11:13
lsuactiafnerstatic binary tho11:13
Amaranthmost of those people don't _want_ to, they don't know11:14
Amaranth2 or 3 people flipped when i said w32codecs was illegal11:14
zygaAmaranth: it could probably be made tiny bit more legal if someone had a legal windows copy11:15
zygaAmaranth: and the law permits him to break certain eula parts11:15
tsengwell then you can go and talk to marillat11:15
lsuactiafneris there a way to disable a certain package by default in apt-get11:15
zygaAmaranth: *and* mplayer would distribute a program that would simply hack those libs11:16
zygaAmaranth: then it could be said that the user dit this himself11:16
lsuactiafnermplayer32 would be like mplayer64 just with static -vo libs totally seperate from the codecs11:16
zygaAmaranth: no redistribution11:16
lsuactiafnerunder ftp://ftp.puk.ac.za/outgoing/ there is a copy of mplayer32 static that several ppl have benifited from11:17
=== Amaranth would rather have 64-bit native mplayer in ubuntu than 32-bit static that makes it easy to break the law
tsengAmaranth++11:20
herveI don't have the courage to read what I missed11:20
hervebut just one thing11:21
tsengherve: im gripping my chair.11:21
hervelsuactiafner, about 32-bit static on 64-bit architectures11:21
hervelsuactiafner, I believe those 64-bit compiles were added by ubuntu developers11:21
herveso you should ask on #u-d11:21
lsuactiafnerAmaranth : i have both binaries installed so that i can play wmv also11:21
hervetseng, sometimes you answer so strange expressions :-)11:22
hervenight all11:22
