ajmitchnot sure how I could have helped :)08:57
sladenwhiprush: the important thing is to file the bug;  itf it's on the wrong one of NM/madwifi I'm sure somebody will bump it to the correct one08:59
whiprushwell, my concern is this:09:00
whiprushI'm 90% sure the problem is with madwifi. because fedora ships a newer version of the driver and it works better.09:00
whiprushwhat I don't want to do is spam thom with 10 bug reports on something that's a madwifi issue and not NM-related.09:01
whiprushand given that madwifi is restricted, I don't know how useful "it sucks at scanning" will be.09:01
ajmitchrestricted just because of the firmware, isn't it?09:03
whiprushyep.09:03
ajmitchI've also got a madwifi card in my laptop09:03
whiprushwhat I really want to do is replace the card, but, as mjg59's page points out, thinkpads have a whitelist of allowed mini-pci cards.09:04
whiprushwhich is just ... GRRRRR.09:04

sladenwhiprush: re: the thinkpad wifi IDs.  As you may have noticed mjg59 and I spent quite a bit of time coming up with solutiosn to get around the problem :)09:28
whiprushyeah, I spent like, an hour reading your pages.09:28
whiprushall I have to say is: you guys are nuts.09:28
whiprush:)09:28
sladenwhiprush: the seems to be a lack of piccys;  there's a few crap ones in various places;  shoving lugradio live into goodle brings up BillT's photos (BBC guy) and there are two other batches of camera-phone jobbies09:29
whiprushluckily the ubuntu-fu seems strong in them, so there musn't have been too much advocacy that had to be done.09:30
highvoltageubuntu-fu? is that like force?09:30
whiprushwell, it would have been nice for you to inflict them with ubunflu.09:30

sladenurm. '#Ubunflu' is just something that happened and probably a side-effect of us all craving international travel.  Half-dozen people went down with a horrible illness and had an unproductive week of their lives wasted;  yourself, I, and others included.  At some point being forced to recall it is going to stop being amusing and start being irriating.  That point may already have passed;  it might even have passed after the first day trapped up in bed.09:51

=== SEBest [~chatzilla@sebest.ovibes.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
SEBesthello, i have a question about /etc/dbus-1/event.d directory05:54
SEBestas i understand it's a bit like /etc/init.d but for services depending upon dbus05:54
LathiatSEBest: sortof05:54
LathiatSEBest: basically, it you can make dbus activate a program when someone tries to activate something on the bus05:54
Lathiatand nothing is there to accep tit05:54
=== ivoks [~ivoks@backup.grad.hr] has joined #ubuntu-motu
ivokswhat a day...05:55
SEBestLathiat, but is it better to put the script in event.d or to make a link from init.d/script -> event.d/45script ?05:55
Lathiaterm, afaik, event.d is not the same format as an init script05:56
Lathiati could be wrong05:56
Lathiathrm, i am05:56
Lathiati got confused05:56
SEBesti think scripts in event.d are lsb compliant sysv scripts05:56
Lathiati think event.d then perhaps are services that are started when dbus is started05:56
SEBestyes05:56
Lathiatneither hal nor avahi use a symlink at the moment05:56
SEBestit's a debian specific thing because debian doesn't have any dependencies in starting services05:57
Lathiati wouldnt say its debian specific05:57
SEBestLathiat: i'm sebastien :)05:57
LathiatSEBest: i figured :)05:58
SEBestin fact i ask this, especially for avahi05:58
SEBestbecause you can compile avahi without dbus support05:58
SEBestin this case, there is no reason /etc/dbus-1/event.d exists05:58
Lathiatwell, there is05:58
SEBestso the script should be in /etc/init.d in this case no?05:59
Lathiatarguably05:59
Lathiatthats a bit of a touch question05:59
Lathiatperhaps putting it in /etc/init.d and then symlinking it to rc2.d or dbus-1/event.d depending on config05:59
SEBestso i was wondering, if it better to install it in init.d when DBUS is disable and event.d when it's enable or05:59
SEBestsymlinking06:00
Lathiati think symlinking is better06:00
Lathiatcus then i can restart avahi from /etc/init.d06:00
Lathiatif i want06:00
SEBestyes, that was my idea, to always install in init.d and symlinks if DBUS is enable06:00
SEBesti was really surprised that debian initscript doesn't have any information about priority06:01
Lathiatit does06:01
Lathiatthe numbers06:01
SEBestoh?06:01
Lathiatin rc?.d06:01
SEBestyes, but i don't mean this06:02
Lathiatits just order based06:02
Lathiatas opposed to priority based06:02
Lathiatthe init system used by debian doesnt support init dependencies06:02
Lathiatinit-ng for example does06:02
SEBestimagine i do this:06:02
SEBestupdate-rc.d -f ssh remove06:02
SEBestnow i can't put ssh back at the same order it was before, the information is lost06:03
Lathiatso you edit /etc/default and tell it not to boot like most debian packages do :)06:03
Lathiator tho in ssh's case06:03
Lathiatits /etc/ssh/no_ssh_on_boot or somerthing like that06:03
SEBestsshd_not_to_be_run06:04
Lathiatyeh06:04
Lathiatsigh ubuntu s2.6.12 kernel does not play nice with vmware06:04
SEBesta bit hackish isn't it :)06:04
LathiatSEBest: the /etc/default stuff isnt so hackish06:04
Lathiatmost packages use that06:05
SEBestyes most06:05
SEBesti'm using vmware with 2.6.12, what problem do you have?06:05
Lathiatrandom kernel backtraces in vmware stuff06:05
Lathiatthat cause the machien to be responsive but useless06:05
Lathiatprocesses wont start06:05
SEBestin the host?06:05
Lathiatjust sit and hang06:05
Lathiatyes06:05
SEBesti'm using breezy 2.6.12, you too?06:06
Lathiatyes06:06
Lathiati get scheduling while atomic etc06:06
Lathiatand other cruft06:06
Lathiatseems to be a result of the vmware bridging code06:07
