BenCanyone know of a good decompiler?02:40
floamdid old bugzilla bugs get moved to malone?02:44
floamhttp://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21515 won't let me comment on it, but I can't figure out if it's been moved somewhere or if I need to recreate it.02:45
Ubugtuubuntu bug 21515 in linux "sata_via: ATAPI not working" [Normal,Needinfo]  02:45
BenCfloam: top of the bugzilla page should have a link to the malone bug02:46
floamoh, I'm blind, thanks02:48
floamit's even in a big blue contrasting box02:48
floamperhaps that just got added in the last few days. I know I tried to get there a week ago and was looking all over02:48
BenCbeen there since the conversion :)02:49
floamguh.02:51
floamGuess I'm retarded :)02:51
floamBenC: oh, that's the same bug you were helping me with. any idea if newer libata stuff could get backported back at this (late-ish) point?02:52
floamI managed to get it working with a 2.6.16 rc02:52
BenC2.6.16 contains a lot of pata stuff that likely wont get backported02:56
BenCbut you can try taking sata_via.c and compiling it with our kernel...if it works, I might do it02:56
floamI can try that. There were numerous other ATAPI fixes/changes that were outside sata_via, don't know where it was fixed there02:57
floams/where/if/02:57
mjg59BenC: You reverted the ACPI stuff?03:00
BenCmjg59: I couldn't even boot with it03:00
mjg59BenC: Heh. I'll try taking a look.03:01
BenCusb didn't even work03:01
mjg59Sounds like interrupts had gone03:01
BenCso I couldn't debug it at all03:01
BenCyeah, pretty much03:01
mjg59pci=noacpi would probably have got you booted03:01
BenCide worked, but net+usb+scsi was done03:01
BenCI didn't even think to try, it was just scary :)03:02

sladenFirefox just crashed ...when filing a bug on the Mozilla Bugzilla.  How annoyingly typical.05:30
OddAbe19is there a bug with nvidia and glx, i can't get my glx to work no matter how many times i've reinstalled nvidia driver... i looked on bugzilla, couldn't find anything05:40
Chipzzfirst of all, this is not the place for end-user questions05:42
OddAbe19i know that05:43
OddAbe19but you deal with bugs05:43
Chipzzthen why do you ask?05:43
Chipzzanyway05:43
OddAbe19i couldn't find a bug on bugzilla about it05:43
Chipzzdid you use the ubuntu packages?05:43
OddAbe19so i thought i'd ask since it wasn't busy05:43
OddAbe19no, the binary05:43
Chipzzsee05:43
OddAbe19the package is broken right now05:43
Chipzzthat's where your problem is05:43
Chipzzok... so let me get this straight... you do not use the package and then come in here asking if there is a bug in the package? :)05:44
OddAbe19actually, in all honesty, i've never had a problem with the binary, only the provided packages, so i stuck to the binary.  Modulization seemed to have broken it and i was just wondering if it was a common problem05:44
OddAbe19i wasnt sure if it was an X problem or not05:44
OddAbe19that's all i wanted to know05:44
Chipzzafaik (but I'm not a developer, and my laptop running dapper with the nvidia card hasn't been updated in a week or something), everything works just fine05:46
OddAbe19ok, then it's me05:47
OddAbe19i'll dig deeper, thanks05:47
Chipzzbut you should be asking on #ubuntu, really05:48
Chipzzand you should be using packages, *REALLY*05:51
Chipzzand if those are not working for you like you claim, file a bug ;)05:51

\shand there is no reference of this in the source 11:53
zygamaybe it's specific to kde?11:54
zygais that a glibc message?11:54
\shzyga: i'll check11:54

hungerIt seems both kde and gnome nowadays read /usr/share/autostart... Before only kde did IIRC. How can I configure which of the files there are started with gnome and which of them with kde?05:18
sivangsladen: do you happen to know / able to explain the differences between reported size of files on the fs and the "real" sizes, as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , I need to calucalte sizes of home folder, to instruct a user how many CDs will he need to back them up.05:18
hungerI found a mail on freedesktop.org claiming that /usr/share/autostart was supposed to be for common stuff with DE-specific start stuff being in /usr/share/gnome/autostart and /usr/share/kde/autostart (or similar). Neither of those exists in ubuntu.05:19
=== ompaul_ is now known as impaul
sivangsladen: currently, I have a class that does that, but it differs from the sizes dh returns, I'll probably peopen it and use it instead.05:19
=== impaul is now known as ompaul
sladensivang: a 900 byte file actually takes up a whole inode (eg. 4kB)   Also spare files take up _less_ blocks than their length05:21
psusisivang, you can use du to find the real size05:23
psusisivang, though if you are backing up, you don't care about that... you just care about the apparent size05:23
psusisince you will be concatenating the files into a tar right?  so the on disk blocks won't enter the picture05:24
psusisladen, also... I think you meant block, not inode05:24
sivangpsusi: hmm, actually, come to think of it, I am not going to tar stuff myself, going to use DAR. so this probably already takes care of that. I just want to know how I can tell how many CDs or how much actual space the user that does the backup needs.05:25
=== sivang will poke dar to see if has an option to report that
psusisivang, assuming you are going to enable compression, you can't tell accuratly05:26
psusiand yes... dar also concatentates the files into an archive, so the on disk blocks will have no bearing05:26
psusiforget they even exist for this purpose05:26
sivangso I need to calucalte this myself, e.g. disregarding disk blocks, or see if dar can give this info to me05:27
psusiit can't assuming you will be enabling compression05:27
psusithere is no way to know how well it will compress without compressing it05:27
Tm_Thttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/805105:30
psusibtw... what makes dar a better choice than tar?05:30
sivangpsusi: lots :)05:34
sivangpsusi: check the upstream website, and play with it05:34
psusiI'm looking at the web site now... I'm not seeing anything tar can't do as well... and it also seems to compress each file individually to allow faster cherry picking during restores, but that reduces your compression05:34
psusiI'd prefer using fewer disks to backup than being able to cherry pick faster during restore ;)05:35
sivangpsusi: it also automatically supports multi volumes creation, less work for me :)05:36
psusiI believe tar does as well05:37
sivangit seems to take care of the core backup functionality, requireing almost no additional work. tar seems like ti would take me to handle also the meta data, which dar already accounts for.05:39
=== cassidy [n=cassidy@f1-pc174.ulb.ac.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel
psusimeta data?05:40
sivangTOCIng out of 2 single first and last volumes, also support for executing user cmmands in betweeb slices etc05:41
sivangI gues snot mostly meta dat a:)05:42
psusisounds like you want tar's -G option I think it was... spits out a TOC for incremental backups05:42
=== psusi shrugs.... whatever works I guess...
sivangpsusi: won't then I need to parse this TOC? I can have dar do it for me, and just tell me which volume to insert05:45
sivangpsusi: what's the benefit of using tar ove dar?05:45
sivang(I mean, why would you use it instead)05:46
psusinone I suppose... other than it's possibly older, more mature, and better supported... but it looks like dar should work fine as well, so hey... go with whatever works05:46
psusithe one difference that I would actually care about is the compression.... tar will get better compression05:46
sivangI can have dar run in through bz2 though05:47
sivang(the stream, that is)05:47
psusithat would break the slices05:47
psusidar wants to compress the files individually, then split them up onto each disk05:48
sivangah, right they say it will only lower number of slices05:48
psusithat will lead to worse compression than compressing the entire tar then splitting05:48
sivangseems just as good, no?05:49
sivangI see. and with tar you suggest comrpessing the whole stream,05:49
psusino... the larger your data set the better the compression.05:49
sivangand then break it down to slices..05:49
psusithat's how tar works... it tars all the files up then passes the output to the compressor05:49
psusiaye05:49
sivangthat's rather important argument. thanks for bringing this up05:50
psusiplus, you can use 7zip to compress the tar and get REALLY good compression ;)05:50
sivangand then break up to slices?05:50
psusiaye05:50
sivangbut then I would have ti implement the slices mechanism myself...05:50
sivangor can tar do that for me AFTER it has sliced?05:50
psusiI think you just pipe the output to the split utility05:50
sivangokay, I will experiment with that then05:51
=== sivang notes not to forget about telling a user that he needs some room on drive to do all this compressions and archiving :)
sladen7zip --fomg-optimised05:51
psusisqashfs works by concatentating the files, then compressing them in 64k blocks... I turned my 80 MB lkml Maildir into a .sqashfs the other day... it was 17 MB.... turned it into a .tar.7z and it was 8 MB05:52
psusinow if your average file size is less than 64k, then it sounds like dar would get even worse compression than squashfs05:52
psusisince it compresses each file, rather than fixed 64k blocks05:52
psusiyou shouldn't need any space on the disk05:53
sivanghow come? I Need a buffer to realibly store the archives before I burn them..05:53
psusiyou can pipe the stream to growisofs and burn it on the fly05:53
Amaranthpsusi: what did squashfs-lmza get you?05:53
psusiAmaranth, have not tried it... I didn't have time to find and apply the patches05:54
sladenAmaranth: I doubt LZMA will get you anything if you're restricting it by using 64kB blocks05:54
psusisladen, it gets you something it seems... but yea, the larger the block size, the better05:54
Amaranthhmm, i think it was still as good as bz2 in that situation05:54
Amaranthbut decompressed faster than bz205:54
psusiahhh05:55
sivangpsusi: does growisofs support CDR/CDRW as well? man page only mentions DVD05:56
psusisivang, yes05:56
sladensomebody needs to separate the block-reordering from the compression so they can be stacked in a more useful fashion05:57
psusisivang, so you can write a program to manage a pipeline between tar | 7z and growisofs... when growisofs fills up the disc, prompt the user for another one and fire up another growisofs05:57
psusisladen, eh?05:57
sladenpsusi: bzip2 combines re-ordering and compression.  It would be useful to just have reording and then use gzip (or lzma) for compression05:59
psusiand once I finish ironing out the udftools package, you will be able to directly tar to a cdrw disc mounted as a full read/write filesystem05:59
psusisladen, ahh, you mean only do the BWT, then apply lzma to that?06:00
sladenpsusi: yes.06:00
sivangpsusi: :)06:00
sivangI'm actually quite keen to have archive premade on disk,06:00
psusiI found some sample code once that was broken up into each step, so you could just BWT if you wanted06:00
psusisivang, why is that?06:00
sladenpsusi: since then you can do block reordering over the *whole* file, but still only have a 64kB block granularity for making things directly addressible06:01
sivangand only then attempt write them. I belive this allows for greater recoverablility when burns are interrupted in that middle, and / or gone bad. then instead of re-comressions and doing all this work, I just retry burn the files on disk06:01
psusialso... after BWT orders the data, I think ppmd would work very well on it.... and be faster than lzma06:01
psusisladen, can't do that... you have to un BWT the whole file before you can get back the original data06:02
psusisladen, I believe that's what 'rz' does... 06:02
psusisivang, true... but requires more space on disk all the time for better handling of an exceptional condition06:03
psusiI'd rather have the backup go faster and not require lots of free disk space normally, and in the unlikely event of interruption or bad media or whatever, have to start over06:04
sladenpsusi: rzip was what I was looking for, but I couldn't find it googling06:05
