[04:55] I'm not familiar w/ gnome; ask seb later? [04:56] crimsun: you don't use gnome or you don't know the inner workings? [04:56] just curious [04:56] the latter [04:57] my guess is that gnome is failing to set xkb magic [04:57] (which is precisely the opposite of my experience w/ Xfce) [04:59] Hi LaserJock.

[05:03] whiprush: yeah, I'm still trying to figure it out [05:04] I'm still not sure if mutt is for me, but it sure seems cool [05:04] it never hurts to have a mutt config handy. [05:05] on a shell someplace or something [05:05] hi whiprush [05:06] well, I got procmail going which was good in any case [05:06] whiprush: you didn't know that crimsun was a professor? :) [05:06] whiprush: yes. [05:06] I don't know what to do for an address book though [05:07] crimsun: I work at an .edu === Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-73-158-nsw-pppoe.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:07] Prof. crimsun, MOTU ;-) [05:07] I think that's awesome. [05:07] whiprush: rock [05:07] I wish our faculty were as involved in oss. [05:07] do you give talks and stuff? [05:07] on floss? I wish. [05:07] my dean is very pro-OSS. [05:08] whiprush: where are you? [05:08] I wonder what it would take to get you up here to michigan ... [05:08] tritium: Detroit area, Michigan, USA. [05:08] Oh, you're at UofM? [05:08] ajmitch__: yeah, I didn't know. [05:08] no, oakland.edu [05:08] bddebian: you here ? [05:08] about 1 hour north. [05:08] Ah, okay. [05:09] Yo [05:09] Heya tritium [05:09] Most of our faculty have a linux box, but none of them really /get/ OSS. [05:10] hmm, better than our faculty [05:10] Hi bddebian :) [05:10] it's unfortunate, I [05:10] bddebian: remember yesterday I joked about copping it if I broke my system in the dapper upgrade ? [05:10] MO [05:10] Uh oh [05:10] How can i determine which version of dapper ( flight ) i have currently installed? [05:10] bddebian: I broke the system all right [05:11] :-( [05:11] bddebian: *no* kernels boot. old or new [05:11] bddebian: and none of my boot cd's can find my lvm on raid partitions [05:11] crimsun: out of curiosity, is OSS part of your coursework? [05:11] w00t :( [05:12] whiprush: yes [05:12] Yagisan: :-( [05:12] truz24, packages are pushed every day to the repositories, so [05:12] crimsun: man, that's totally awesome. [05:13] So flightX isn't really a vesion, but more of a snapshot? [05:13] bddebian: error is "PANIC Circular dependency. Exiting." on new kernel [05:13] flights are snapshots [05:13] k [05:13] truz24, from what I know, yes [05:13] bddebian: or endless segmentation faults on older [05:13] was just curious if there was a file that said "this is flight5" anywhere === Yagisan hopes the amd64 flight6 live cd will be able to fix the system [05:13] whiprush: I collaborated with a Physics prof at Oakland in my undergrad research [05:14] whiprush: we use Hugs98, Eclipse, NachOS, Kdevelop, Minix, Linux, and Ubuntu. [05:14] LaserJock: wow, awesome! [05:14] crimsun: dude, you should come do a talk at our school. [05:14] they walk around with 5.10 live cds, I'm proud to say [05:15] bddebian: I'm logged in via my firewall now, no X, nothing. At least it still works. [05:16] That sucks man, sorry [05:16] can I ask any MOTUs with spare time to review patches on https://launchpad.net/people/motureviewers/+assignedbugs & upload them? [05:16] crimsun: do you have a faculty page? I want to totally get you to come speak at our U (if you want to that is). [05:16] ajmitch__: I can try [05:17] whiprush: not really. [05:17] thanks LaserJock :) [05:17] it helps keep patches coming in if we show interest in contributions [05:17] bddebian: it's mocking me today. will need to put a burner on the firewall soon [05:17] ajmitch__: it sure does [05:17] crimsun: If I got you sponsored to come speak on OSS, would you be interested? [05:18] whiprush: (that was in response to the page) I'd love to, but I'm extremely tight on time currently === Yagisan must remember not to give away *all* his ubuntu cd's next time [05:18] ajmitch__: I might be able to try now [05:19] go bddebian go! === jtshaw [n=jshaw@155.229.229.162] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:19] crimsun: We can work something out in the future? I'm 95% sure our department would sponsor an OSS speaker, especially one in academia already. [05:20] bddebian: great! [05:20] whiprush: I'm certainly open to that; e-mail contact is viable. [05:20] crimsun: Will do so... [05:21] crimsun: this made my day, I've been doom and gloom about OSS in schools for months. [05:22] whiprush: well, I'm certainly trying to change that in the scientific community ;-) [05:22] really? most of the public NC universities are pretty stalwart OSS users [05:22] particularly NCSU, since Red Hat is located right on their campus [05:23] crimsun: we're about 50 feet from Daimler-Chrysler. We teach Java and CAD. That's about it. [05:23] LaserJock: where are you at? [05:23] Oh man, look at all those EASY .desktop files I can knock out.. :-) [05:23] whiprush: University of Nevada, Reno [05:23] Of course my Gnome is fuXX0red [05:24] whiprush: Department of Chemistry :-) [05:24] bddebian: yours too ? gconf2 nver configured itself [05:24] cool. [05:24] bddebian: before the kernel decided it didn't want to restart [05:25] it would be fun to have an Ubuntu Academia BOF some time === Yagisan impatiently waits for flight6 to download [05:25] yeah really LaserJock [05:30] all the profs in my department use macs or windows [05:30] and most of the data collection is Windows [05:30] So if each flight is a "snapshot", then why do I have to type apt-get dist-upgrade to get some of the newer packages? [05:30] what is the difference between apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get upgrade? [05:31] is OSS spread in government agencies in the US? any of you work for the government? [05:31] truz24, dist-upgrade is a bit more radical resolving dependencies [05:32] ok, i noticed it was upgraded my kernel and stuff [05:32] see apt-get(8) [05:33] So going from the final flight up to 6.10 will be fine with apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get upgrade? [05:33] or is a fresh install the best solution? [05:33] dist-upgrade [05:34] dist-upgrade [05:34] sweet [05:34] I have never used apt-get upgrade [05:34] I see [05:34] so no need for the two separate commands [05:35] well you still need update [05:35] besides, consider using aptitude instead of apt-get [05:36] but if you want to use aptitude, ALWAYS use aptitude [05:36] and review pending actions, since it removes unused packages [05:36] some aptitude beginners have a lot of trouble with that [05:36] dist-upgrade will delete .debs to make the upgrade work IIRC [05:37] so you don't keep using more and more disk space for packages? [05:38] the occasional apt-get clean does the trick [05:38] I think he means it will remove packages to satisfy dependencies [05:38] or maybe not [05:38] yes [05:38] sorry - half here. try to fix my dead box [05:39] I've never gotten the hang of aptitude. I always get it in an unfixable (at least for me) state fairly quickly [05:39] So if you install flight5 and apt-get dist-upgrade to flight6, and then apt-get clean, you should use the same space on your hard disk as if you installed flight6 fresh? === hub [n=hub@toronto-hs-216-138-231-194.s-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:40] more or less [05:40] truz24, probably not because packages could grow - or it can install new packages [05:41] So a package grows... wouldn't apt-get dist-upgrade delete the old one? [05:42] it can grow, it does not pile up one over the other [05:42] at worst, you'll maybe have an old config someplace. [05:42] thats not *too* bad :-) [05:42] generally speaking though, it just works. [05:42] truz24, new icons could be added to gnome themes, for example [05:42] yeah, but again, that would require the same space as if you installed flight6 fresh right? [05:43] If you install flight5 right now, and apt-get update and upgrade, you'll get flight6 [05:43] or whatever is current. [05:43] Agreed. [05:44] I've had the same install on my laptop since hoary. [05:44] there's probably a bit of cruft, but generally speaking [05:44] it works. [05:44] The topic we are discussing is if you install flight5, apt-get update & upgrade, does that == fresh install of flight6 [05:44] and it seems that there might be some odd files left behind [05:44] but nothing big [05:45] right [05:45] I assume those files left behind are dynamically generated by some packages, and are not cataloged by the repositories [05:46] okay...dist-upgrade path definately broken [05:49] Kyral: do you get EasyChem bug reports? [05:50] LaserJock: no..have there been? [05:50] whiprush, so when you upgraded from hoary to breezy, did you just go into sources.lst and change all instances of hoary to breezy? [05:51] yep. [05:51] Kyral: yeah, there was a .desktop bug [05:51] truz24: knowing apt and dpkg well help, sometimes there's a bug. [05:52] LaserJock: tell me about it [05:52] i prolly got the email but skipped over it [05:52] Kyral: you .desktop file sucks [05:52] well, its a server install, hopefully it will be simple :-) if not i'll learn [05:52] if you're tracking a devel release, then knowing how dpkg works well helps a ton. [05:52] yeah, i'm not gonna take it to the devel versions [05:52] just from hoary to breezy [05:53] Kyral: it is bug #36371 [05:53] Malone bug 36371 in easychem ".desktop file is incomplete" [Minor,Confirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/36371 [05:56] truz24: I'm doing a dist-upgrade right now (last time was probably ~ Flight4) 381 packages upgrade [05:57] have you guys ever downgraded with dist-upgrade? [05:58] I did once or twice. It seemed much harder but it sorta works [05:58] seemed like a fresh install worked better [06:00] no, but I've manually downgraded with aptitude [06:00] downgrades don't seem to be really supported [06:00] but they usually work [06:01] Are there any implementations of Wakeup on Lan in ubuntu? [06:02] I'm wanting to hibernate a couple of servers when they aren't being used, and have them startup when a lan request is made... [06:02] truz24: WoL is a bios/netcard rom feature IIRC [06:02] right, but doesn't the OS have to support it as well? [06:03] truz24: better to just turn powersaving on so the spin down the drives and throttle the cpu [06:03] powersaving can be turned on in the server distro? [06:03] or do you mean at the bios level [06:05] truz24: I turn it on. actually IIRC it was there by default when I put breezy on [06:12] wish me luck people. my flight6 iso has downloaded, now to try and fix my box [06:12] Good luck Yagisan [06:12] go Yagisan go! [06:20] interesting. I just upgraded the server from hoary to breezy, and did apt-get clean, and its using 20 megs less disk space :-) === ealden [n=ealden@203.76.213.198] has joined #ubuntu-motu === freeflying-ibook

[06:39] slomo: linux audio session handler [06:39] slomo: its basically the new ladcca [06:39] paniq: cool :) [06:40] When I insert 5.10 it boots up fine... but 6.6 flight 5 and 6 freeze on the "select type of install" screen [06:40] dave robillard is working on it, and i am helping to get it around [06:40] paniq: for packaging look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Packaging [06:40] hum [06:40] kubuntu? ;) === Lure [n=luka@clj46-234.dial-up.arnes.si] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:44] paniq: look at the pages below :) === Amaranth [n=amaranth@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:45] ok [06:45] i will deal with this later ;) [06:46] hmm [06:46] alsa sequencer is not supported by default in ubuntu? === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-motu === G0SUB [n=ghoseb@ubuntu/member/g0sub] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Jobman [n=Jobman@p508E45C5.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:58] slomo_: Is this ok? https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnunet/+bug/37611/+index [06:58] Malone bug 37611 in gnunet "UVF Exception 0.7.0b -> 0.7.0c" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [07:01] cyberix: hm no... get the new and the old tarball, get a diffstat from the old to new and a diff of the changelog in there [07:02] diff -Naur old new | diffstat [07:02] and diff -Nau old/ChangeLog new/ChangeLog or similar [07:10] What are we supposed to do with bugs that have been upload to REVU?

But it's an easy fix so.. ? [07:27] I'd say it is up to you then ;-) [07:27] I'd probably just fix it and upload but also provide a comment on REVU [07:28] Aye, that's what I'm doing now :) [07:29] bddebian: you probably just want to make it clear that you already uploaded it so then don't need to update [07:29] Aye [07:31] is there _any_ way to get a NEW package for Dapper? [07:31] yeah [07:31] it's a trivial package [07:31] LaserJock: what's the procedure? [07:32] Not sure at the moment, dholbach was thinking of doing something similar to UVF exceptions [07:32] hmm [07:35] LaserJock: should I put it up on REVU? [07:35] yes [07:35] why not? It should probably go there regardless [07:35] yes, but it's important that the package is in Dapper === Mez [i=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu [07:36] but after it is reviewed it can be decided whether to put it in Dapper or not [07:37] LaserJock: ok [07:37] it's kmfl.sf.net ... a very important Input Method for us === Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-64-3-nsw-pppoe.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Yagisan sighs. time to give up and wipe the box now [07:39] :'-( [07:39] I don't even have working X any more [07:40] must remember to get gpg key and evoulution mail + accounts [07:40] flight 6 install ok ?

[07:50] any reported issues with a flight 6 installed system [07:50] G0SUB: it would not downgrade [07:50] G0SUB: and the dapper packages would not install with the breezy version [07:50] hmm [07:51] Yagisan: I am in Dapper atm ...

I bet my cd's will become coasters next [07:58] or the burner will die [07:59] What are you folks using for switches to dpkg-buildpackage/debuild these days? === sladen_ [i=paul@starsky.19inch.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:11] bddebian: I just use debuild -S or debuild -S -sa for including .orig.tar.gz [08:12] bddebian: -k if I need to sponsor somebody's upload [08:12] bddebian: and -v if I'm doing a fakesync ;-) [08:13] LaserJock: I was talking about for a binary build but no worries :-) [08:14] pbuilder all the way :-) [08:15] pfft :-) [08:15] bddebian: I'm just providing some noise so you don't think you're alone. [08:15] Thanks :-) [08:16] I don't think I've ever actually used dpkg-buildpackage directly to build a binary [08:16] hello, somebody know how I can 'remaster' (k)ubuntu install CD? I want to add/remove some packages from CD to fill my needs, any help? [08:17] inflate: Not me sorry :-( [08:17] well, the question is for all, not for you only :) [08:18] I know about this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallCDCustomizationHowTo [08:18] but it's not working [08:20] inflate: that question has come up a few times here and I honestly don't know that anybody here will be much help. [08:20] inflate: You might have better luck on a mailing list perhaps [08:20] ok, but another question [08:21] how can I build the installer? [08:21] I've downloaded it and compiled [08:21] but I don't know how to merge it with packages [08:22] are you talking about debian-installer? [08:22] yes [08:23] so you downloaded the source package? [08:24] yes, also compiled them, and I've a small repository which contain packages I need, [08:25] but I don't know how to merge installer with repository [08:26] hmm, well I have no idea. I've never messed around with d-i before [08:27] I'm not sure what you are trying to do [08:28] what I wnat exactly is to create a modified version of kubuntu, the default package selection on ubuntu doesn't fill my needs [08:28] I need more packages [08:28] and I want to remove the 100MB of lang-packs [08:29] I tried to use the article mentioned here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallCDCustomizationHowTo [08:29] but it's not working [08:29] ok, how often do you want to do that? [08:31] well, this is what I'm asking about, the article's way isn't working, so I need another way [08:31] I'd just modify the kubuntu-desktop meta package [08:32] or provide a kubuntu-inflate-desktop meta package ;-) [08:32] :) [08:32] really i tried [08:32] installer worked normally, and install the base system [08:33] and the kernel + usplash too [08:33] but it skip kubuntu-desktop package [08:33] perhaps because it's dependecies were not met [08:34] Hmm, should .ui files changes have a proper "debian patch" or just hack the source? === akulah [n=akulah@86.34.246.232] has joined #ubuntu-motu === G0SUB [n=ghoseb@ubuntu/member/g0sub] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:35] I have a question [08:35] inflate: what I would do (and am thinking of doing this in the future) is create my own -desktop meta package [08:35] anybody want to help me? [08:35] akulah: sure. just ask [08:35] inflate: and then remove the installed -desktop package and install mine after install [08:35] akulah: Just ask. Don't ask to ask. If we can help you we will :-) [08:36] as I told you, i've done this, also I tested it in a chroot environment [08:36] all dependencies are there [08:37] ok === ZuZubuntu-fr [n=ZuZubunt@AVelizy-154-1-52-10.w83-199.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:37] I'm a MOTU wanabe [08:37] inflate: so what happened?

[08:38] as I told you, installer skip -desktop meta package [08:38] akulah: no the source package is what you need to upload [08:38] aha [08:38] ok tnx [08:38] akulah: the orig.tar.gz, the .dsc, the diff.gz [08:38] I checked all logs, nothing about non met deps [08:39] inflate: no, I'm saying don't mess with the installer or the cd, do it after you install with a regular cd [08:39] akulah: you need your gpg key added to the REVU keyring before you can upload though. Have you seen wiki.ubuntu.com/REVU? [08:40] yes [08:40] I've added my key [08:40] I don't understand, you mean the official cd, or the modified cd? [08:40] inflate: official cd [08:41] inflate: I wouldn't make a modified cd is what I'm saying. I wouldn't bother [08:41] I have received the confirmation email today [08:41] akulah: great === abelcheung [n=abelcheu@221.126.147.15] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:42] well, thanks for help [08:42] akulah: then you are set to upload. just use "dput revu _source.changes" [08:42] inflate: you would have to modify each install cd in the future, which would be a pain === ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-motu === yosch [n=yosch@lns-bzn-24-82-64-180-14.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:43] inflate: you should be able to do everything you want with a metapackage [08:44] yes I know, but, I like to learn how things happen, and I want to learn from this more than only modifying kubuntu [08:45] also, my internet connection is limit [08:45] so i dont want to download packages every day [08:45] using a modified cd, i do it once [08:45] you wouldn't have to [08:46] anyway, if you want the educational experience go for it. [08:47] well, it wil continue trying, may be I can discover what is the problem, and also fix the howto in wiki ;) [08:47] yeah, that would be great.
