[08:27] <ubijtsa> grrrrr
[08:27] <ubijtsa> came in this morning to an almost dead box...
[08:28] <ubijtsa> gam_server had eaten 2.6GB of RAM
[08:28] <ubijtsa> of which nearly 900M was resident...
[08:29] <ubijtsa> what on earth in Kubuntu requires that $%*@)# piece of code??
[08:40] <maswan> what's gam_server?
[08:41] <maswan> "File and directory monitoring system". hmm.
[08:41] <maswan> ah
[08:42] <maswan> one of those evil depends to almost everything. :/
[08:45] <maswan> kind of like pmount, which we have no interest at all in having on our servers, but is required if you want any gnomey packages installed
[08:47] <ubijtsa> yeah
[08:47] <ubijtsa> pmount is useful on a desktop
[08:47] <ubijtsa> on a server, not so
[08:50] <maswan> I just found a neat "solution" to a), latex-beamer. thanks goes to debian-science. :)
[08:50] <maswan> We noticed pmount due to the recent usa
[08:50] <maswan> ehm. USN
[08:52] <ubijtsa> :)
[02:51] <E0x> hello
[03:03] <E0x> squidguarn o dansguard ?
[06:53] <allee> Hi, a Sun X4100 server (and laptop) 'hang' for serveral minutes in * Hardware detection and activation' in the early boot sequence.  Any hint to get a bit more information than just [failed] 
[06:53] <allee> ... and who set /dev/null to mode 660?  Pretty new problem ;)
[06:54] <allee> this is with uptodate dapper
[07:01] <fabbione> allee: try to be sure that udev is updated and that your initramfs is updated
[07:23] <allee> fabbione: udev is uptodate: 079-0ubuntu3,  and initrd.img-2.6.15-14-amd64-k8 has date of installation
[07:24] <fabbione> allee: run an update-initramfs with proper parameters
[07:24] <allee> fabbione: fyi: installation went without problem. But reboot failed: I had to add disk and ethernet drivers to /etc/initramfs/modules and rebuild from th
[07:24] <fabbione> yes there is something broken with the latest udev
[07:24] <allee> fabbione: okay ...
[07:27] <allee> fabbione: installation was last thursday.  Today the first upgrade.  The delay during boot is not new, at least a week old.  Only /dev/null 660 is new
[07:54] <allee> fabbione: same with updated initramfs. I installed kubuntu-desktop (hide) which explains the diff http://rafb.net/paste/results/LG9w2589.html
