mdkeProN00b, the eject button on the cd drive should always have the same behaviour, regardless of release, because it is intended for one purpose only12:41

mdke(to eject the cd)12:42
mdkeI'd be really concerned if my eject button suddenly started muting volume, or shutting down, or something12:42
ProN00bhmm, lemme try this again12:42
ProN00bbut it was a common problem in dapper that it did Not eject the cd12:43
HiddenWolfProN00b: intended behavior12:44
ProN00bHiddenWolf, why ?12:44
ProN00bwhy should a eject button not eject a cd ?12:45
ProN00bwhat wicked logic is behind this12:45
HiddenWolfProN00b: I'm not the expert, but as far as I know it's not always possible to correctly catch the right hardware signal due to wacky hardware, and safely unmount/eject the disk12:45
HiddenWolfI'd rather have to manually unmount it than starting to eject mounted disks12:46
ProN00bthen catch the signal, and try to unmount12:46
ProN00bif unpossible display error12:46
HiddenWolfAnyway, pitti should know12:46

mdkeProN00b, if something doesn't work, search the bugtracker, and if it isn't known already, file a bug. It's clearly not intended behaviour for the eject button to fail to eject12:50

sivanganybody knows the difference between 'dip' and 'dialout' groups?11:34
sivangI'm looking at malone #4080211:34
UbugtuMalone bug 40802 in gnome-system-tools "in users-admin user privileges there are 3 modem entries" [Normal,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/4080211:34
lifelesssivang: dialout get modem access, dip can run ppp when they dialin IIRC. (dial-in-ip) IIRC. 11:35
sivangokay, so this needs clarification then11:36
sivangwhat do you think about the audio entry?:11:36
sivang  "audio"     => _("Use serial devices such as Modems and Palm Pilots."),11:36
sivangthis seems to be as a glitch ;-) 11:36
lifelesswow, that seems confusing11:36
sivangyes11:36
sivangloudly confusing11:36
=== Keybuk [n=scott@syndicate.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sivanghmm, I wish pitti was here so I could have asked him about 'audio' group11:40
sivangKeybuk: Heya Scott, maybe you could shed some light, is that exactly what audio group is about? :11:40
sivang"audio"     => _("Use serial devices such as Modems and Palm Pilots."),11:40
sivang(taken fro users-conf in s-t-b)11:40
sivanglifeless: so dip is actually for being able to run ppp over a serial interface or so?11:41
lifelessthat was memory, I suggest goodle tc11:42
lifelesstc->etc11:42
sivanghmm google suggests you do need to be in audio to access some modems11:43

sivangKeybuk: what happened to "Being able to play audio" ;-)11:46
KeybukI was just checking that11:46
Keybukindeed, audio is the group that can write to audio devices on the system11:46
sivangKeybuk: I'm trying to help malone #4080211:46
UbugtuMalone bug 40802 in gnome-system-tools "in users-admin user privileges there are 3 modem entries" [Normal,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/4080211:47
Keybukaudio should be "Use audo devices"11:47
=== HiddenWolf [n=HiddenWo@136.158.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Keybukthe other two "modem" devices -- one is describing actual modems, ie. pci and isdn modems11:48
sivangKeybuk: okay, I need to find the patch that changed that, since this used to be like this once, and remove it, it's a start against confusing :)11:48
Keybukone is just describing serial ports in general11:48
sivangyes11:48
Keybukobviously we can put actual modems in the modem group, but a serial device can be many things11:48
sivangindeed. a serial connection between a laptop and a black VT box os so11:48

Keybukwhiprush: heh, yeah :)12:06
sivangKeybuk: so, as basw-passwd docs say:12:06
sivangdialout = Full and direct access to serial ports. Members of this group can reconfigure the modem, dial anywhere, etc.12:06
sivangI think I'll make a patch now :)12:06
\shI think /usr/sbin/dip was something like a dial in helper program for pppd...something like expect or chat12:07
whiprushso dudes I'm on day three at this linux convention here at home, you guys wouldn't /believe/ the excitement around dapper. 12:08
whiprushThis guy from Google, chris dibona, is like, fanboi #1.12:09

whiprushjdub: The dates just got finalized, I will email them to you as soon as the guy wakes up, I think I drank him under the table.12:14
\shaseigo could be the man to push kubuntu as no. 1 kde distro in europe12:14
jdub\sh: probably better to get a european12:14

jdubheh12:14
jsgotangcowou;d there be a shaving auction event too?12:15
\shjdub: well, he's sponsored by the trolls, he is a good spokesman for kde...ok, another choice would be mr. ettrich, but he signed already a crontract with the trolls :)12:15
whiprushjdub: dude, I can't begin to explain how pumped up people are for dapper.12:16
whiprushI've been flooded for three days of people.12:16
jsgotangcoEft is the future!12:16
whiprushfrom all walks of life ... it's been /amazing/12:16
whiprushjdub: blog post will follow on the event of course.12:17
\shjdub: another idea is, stay a couple of months in the netherlands, get cloned with a bit of kde drugs in your blood, and kubuntu will have jdub2, the fanatic blue guy without pants ;)12:17
jdubwhiprush: lots of people at LWE sydney were pissed that dapper was delayed, and that i didn't have dapper CDs anyway - holy crap12:17
whiprushjdub: oddly enough, when I explained the delay, I got nothing but nods.12:17
sivangthe plan, october etc, all of those linux conferences?12:17
jdub\sh: the host would reject the transplant12:17
whiprushI think a majority of them are still very happy with breezy.12:18

jdubwho will be there12:21
jsgotangcoahh12:21
whiprushsivang: a thin client.12:21
whiprushso like, pre-edubuntu thin clients. :D12:22
jdubjsgotangco: each of the cebit sections is called a 'parc' (numbskulls), and there is a 'linux parc'12:22
jsgotangcojdub: yeah i was looking through the website a few days ago, i won't be anywhere near that place that time though12:22

jsgotangco\sh: i'll take note of that, we're scheduled already for hannover as early sa now12:25
whiprushjdub: I spent about an hour going over pessulus and sabayon, and explaining how we deploy mass desktops with custom profiles.12:26
whiprushdid the whole thing live, very cool.12:26
=== sivang wonders how one can manage a job / RF and attending so many events and conferences :-)
\shjsgotangco: don't go there during the weekend..weekend is "collectors day"...better to visit the cebit the first 3-4 days....12:26
jdubwhiprush: rawk!12:26
jsgotangcowhiprush: they must have digged pessulus so much12:26
whiprushjsgotangco: it's incredible, how even among linux people, how things like pessulus are not well known.12:27
whiprushsabayon got people clapping though.12:27
jsgotangcoyeah12:27
jsgotangcoand deskbar?12:27
whiprushXnested thing, click and drag, make your profile, done and done.12:28
whiprushoh dude, you know I did the deskbar. :D12:28
jdubDONE.12:28
whiprushso we made the profile, and I deployed a few different ones12:28
=== Keybuk doesn't "get" the desk bar
whiprushdid some "deployment" stuff...12:28
whiprushMy last slide was called "Holy Crap!"12:29
\shwhiprush: how do you massdeploy, via fai or kickstart?12:29
whiprushwhich was showing the profile stuff stuffed into LDAP.12:29
whiprush\sh: kickstart12:29
\shwhiprush: oh well, when I'm finished with my project, let's talk about the "real thing" (tm) named FAI :)12:29
whiprushso you can like, stick all the goodies in LDAP, and deploy the profiles by OU.12:29
whiprusheven the windows guys were impressed.12:30
=== sivang nods to \sh about the coolness of this buzzword ;-)
jdub\sh: fai is poop12:30
KeybukI have a cute demo I give to Windows users now12:30
KeybukI install dapper onto a laptop12:30
whiprush\sh: I have lots of old RHEL kickstart scripts, so I just reuse those. ::D12:30
Keybuktake the hard drive out, then boot it in a completely different laptop12:30
Keybukand watch their open jaws when it doesn't spend the next week playing the "Found new hardware" game12:31
sivangKeybuk: hehe , they probably don't know what hit them :)12:31
jdubKeybuk: tickling their abstract funny bone only gets you so far :-)12:31
Keybukor ever ask for the CD :)12:31
\shjdub: fai is the best thing to install and setup a lot of servers....12:31
whiprushjdub: the one bummer is that I couldn't get gimmie to work out of cvs for a lightning talk, I really wanted to say "GNOME IS MADE OF PEOPLE!"12:31
jdubwhiprush: ha ha12:31
Keybukjdub: it's an extreme example, but it's not that unusual for even minor hardware changes to annoy Windows users -- it's a cute way to demonstrate Ubuntu deals with hardware changes perfectly12:32
Keybukwell, other than X12:32
jdub\sh: naw, it only seems like it. kickstart + cfengine is much better. (fai is like an abused kickstart plus a lame cfengine-lite, so why not go for the real deal?)12:32
whiprushjdub: people really like the new add/remove programs, and gdebi.12:32
jdubwhiprush: yeah, the new g-a-i is really raising eyebrows12:33
jsgotangcowhiprush: did you get some new ideas for g-a-i?12:33
whiprushjsgotangco: mostly just oohs and aahs.12:33
whiprushmost of my problem areas were non ubuntu specific, things like an oddball broadcom and whatnot12:34
\shjdub: kickstart is just like autoyast :) but with fai I can implement deployment not only of debian based distros but as well rpmdistros like suse or redhat (that's my project right now), and for rolling out configurations, fai is able to use cfengine1/2 ...which is again implemented by default12:34

mjg59Kamion: Espresso doesn't always seem to cause a /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume to appear01:48
KamionRiddell: one is that ubiquity's UI throws an exception at all (and we just have to fix each of those in turn)01:48

mjg59Excellent01:48
Kamionmjg59: I know, just heard about that in my mail this morning, will sort something out01:48
mjg59Heh. No problem01:49
KamionRiddell: the second is that pygtk doesn't propagate exceptions beyond nested gtk.main() calls; I don't know if you have the same issue with pykde01:49
KamionRiddell: the third is that partman doesn't generally run with 'set -e' and so doesn't notice the debconffilter going away, and carries on merrily regardless01:49

whiprush\sh: msg me please.02:08
KamionRiddell: also your source tree isn't quite clean - you have debian/ubiquity-guadalinex-doc/ lying around there (which is commented out of debian/control, so debian/rules clean doesn't clean it)02:09
infinityChipzz: Having software control the Tx/Rx power seems perfectly reasonable to me.  It just also happens to be something the FCC would prefer was obfuscated and not generally available.02:12
infinityChipzz: So, Intel releases a binary-only daemon to make the FCC happy and limit their liability, and other people reverse engineer it and provide a free alternative at their own risk (just as people take to wifi firmware with hex editors to make FCC-unfriendly changes currently)02:13
Chipzzhrrrm02:13
Chipzzcould be worse I guess02:13
infinityChipzz: In the end, if a free alternative is produced, I doubt the FCC will go after them, but Intel would prefer not to lose FCC licenses or suffer fines.  Individuals likely care less.02:13
Chipzzinfinity: and individuals would also be "less liable"?02:14
Chipzz(is that even a word, liable? :P)02:14
infinityAnyhow, the situation is a bit icky, the binary-only daemon is rather sketchy, but word on the street (from people who own the hardware) is that it works.02:14
infinityChipzz: Individuals would be just as liable for pissing off the FCC, but if they do it outside the US, there's nothing they can really do about it.02:15
Chipzzinfinity: what's the situation for us if people DO reverse engineer it?02:15
infinityAnd then the only people breaking the law are people who use the new free/open code to increase their transmission rates further than the law allows, which is your own risk, no one else's.02:15
infinityAt any rate, the FCC's ability to demand obfuscation of code to change Tx power is sketchy at best.  They may feel the urge to test it in court against someone they can make an example of (Intel, Broadcom, etc), but I doubt they'd care to go after Joe Q Hacker.  Don't take that as solid legal advice to go do it, though.02:17
Chipzzso, either we include a binary only daemon, OR, we do not include a reverse engineered daemon?02:17
infinityI'll just wait for some enterprising Australian resident (oh wait, I live in .au) to do it.02:17
infinityChipzz: Erm, what?  No.  Either we include the binary daemon, or we include a free/open one when one is made available.02:18
Chipzzeither way it still sucks02:18
Chipzz"14:15 < infinity> And then the only people breaking the law are people who use the new free/open code"02:18
infinityChipzz: Distributing it doesn't constitute circumvention any more than distributing a free zip file password cracker.02:18
Chipzzwouldn't that be a problem?02:18
infinityChipzz: You cut off my sentence.02:18
infinityChipzz: "people who use it to increase their Tx rates out of FCC-allowed spec"02:18
