Xoritormaybe you can answer this question and tell me if i even NEED to file a bug02:25
XoritorSetting up console-setup (1.7ubuntu6) ...02:25
mbieblKamion_: I was just wondering, why ubuntu-minimal depends on console-tools and console-setup. 02:26
mbieblDo they complement each other?02:26
Xoritorit ran for over an hour the first time...  and some long time after that... i think 3 hours02:26
Xoritorand this time its running again...02:27
mbieblSeems to me, as if they both do basically the same.02:27
jdongXoritor: it shouldn't run for hours..... :-/02:28
Xoritorjdong, thats what i thought!02:28

Xoritorthx02:29
jdongthx for your patience, sorry about your problems :(02:29
Burgundaviamdz: hmm, just noticed edgy schedule has no artwork freeze02:29

Xoritorits not a big issue really everything seems to be working fine on that box other than that02:30
mdzsame issues, same deadlines02:30
jdongXoritor: i don't think timing that would be any use.... console-setup takes less than a second usually02:30
Burgundaviaok, which means we are passed the freeze02:30
Burgundaviajust wondering02:30

Burgundaviano, KurtKraut you are right11:53
Burgundavia linux-image-amd64-generic - Obsoleted by: linux-image-generic11:53
imbrandonhrm no 64bit kernel ?11:53
KurtKrautBurgundavia, I may even agree with the k7 and 686 drop. But the amd64 ? None of the bechmarks shown that it was unnecessery11:54
KurtKrautThere was a bechmark comparing amd64-generic with amd64-xeon and there was almost no diferente11:54
KurtKrautbut between amd64-generic and i386 there is obviously some difference11:54
Burgundaviano idea, ask mdz or BenC11:55
KurtKrautAnd I'm a bit concerned how the community will receive this changes.11:55
Burgundaviaabout 0.5% will bitch11:55
imbrandonmoreso when they cant run 64bit usrland apps11:55
Burgundaviawhich consitutes about 50% of the active forum users11:55
KurtKrautBurgundavia, ahahha :D11:56
imbrandonlol11:56
Fade:)11:56
Burgundaviaat approx. 7 million installs and about 1000 active forum users, my numbers are actually pretty accurate11:56
LureKurtKraut: amd64 is still there - as it is different architecture11:57
LureKurtKraut: only i386 architecture kernel types were simpliefied11:57
imbrandoni was gonna say there is no way we droped 64bit support11:57
imbrandonbut i was gonna check first11:58
KurtKrautLure, but have you seen how packages.ubuntu.com is labeling the linux-image-amd64-generic ?11:58
Fadedoes hwdb expose a method to look up available records?11:58
Burgundavia-generic is just being built for both arches11:58

Burgundaviaif you want true crack, here is a good one: Debian doesn't have a single kernel source package like we do12:01
imbrandoni think thats what you ment12:01
Burgundaviano, I meant the arch name is not in the binary package12:01

Kamion_Burgundavia: Debian does have more or less a single kernel source now, by the way12:33
Kamion_KurtKraut: linux-image-*-amd64-generic -> linux-image-*-generic12:33
Kamion_it was just a rationalisation to get rid of the unnecessary architecture name in the package name12:33
Kamion_KurtKraut: note that linux-image-*-generic on i386 is a different kind of kernel build to linux-image-*-generic on amd6412:34
KurtKrautKamion_, oh, now it is clear. Thanks.12:34
Kamion_KurtKraut: if you've already published an article containing the misunderstanding, it would be nice to correct that12:35

Keybukand people file bugs that readahead takes up an amount of their boot process03:22
Keybukwithout realising that it reduces the rest by more than it takes03:22
Keybukand there's variable data on that sadly03:24
Keybukseems to depend largely on the drive speed, for example03:24
Keybukideally, we should be able to mark a file in the system as not suitable for fragmentation03:28
Keybukdo that for files read at boot03:29
Keybukreadahead them in block order03:29
Keybuketc.03:29
Keybukin fact, I'd go as far as even trying to arrange them sequentially on the disk03:29
Keybukbut that kind of low-level filesystem engineering is ... complicated03:29
Mithrandirespecially since the consecutive blocks the FS sees might not be consecutive on-disk.  Think raid-0, LVM and similar cases.03:30
Keybukindeed03:30
Keybukthough we could always just let those users suffer <g>03:30
Keybukif you're using RAID, you don't care about filesystem speed anyway, just reliability03:31

bluefoxicy(originally I was just going to say 2.41 and 2.42 were basically equivalent but the release notes say there's significant UI changes and new features, which is a WTF)08:21
bluefoxicy"A lot of work has been done to improve the non-linear video editor in Blender. The highlights include a much better memory management (edit up to hours near-real time) and for Linux users, FFMPEG was added for a wide range of video/audio codecs."08:23

Kamionmbiebl: console-tools provides programs that console-setup uses to do its job; console-setup is a higher-level tool08:45
Kamions/tool$/system/08:45
Kamionmbiebl: note how console-setup depends on console-tools08:46
mbieblOk.08:46
Kamionmbiebl: the redundancy is not between console-tools and console-setup, but between console-data and console-setup; however I haven't yet disentangled enough bits to be sure that it's safe to take out console-data, so for the meantime it doesn't do too much harm to leave them both there08:46
Kamionoh, heh, console-setup only recommends console-tools - but you get the idea08:47
=== jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mbieblStill I have the prob, that somehow the console-setup script is not executed.08:47
Kamionyou don't really want to have it without kbd or console-tools, though, as you wouldn't be able to load keymaps08:47
mbieblduring startup.08:47
Kamionmbiebl: could you rephrase that in a more verbose way?08:48
Kamionthere is no script called "console-setup"08:48
mbieblI have to call setupcon manually after logging in on the console.08:48
Kamionso I need to know what your actual problem is. :)08:48
KamionOK.08:48
mbieblS49console-setup doesn't do it's job ;-)08:48
Kamionwhat happens if you run 'sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup start' by hand?08:49
Kamionfrom a console, not X08:49
mbieblThen it works.08:49
mbieblI get the nice looking terminus font and the german UTF-8 keyboard layout.08:49
Kamiondo you have /usr and/or /var mounted separately from /?08:49
mbieblno08:50
Kamion(shouldn't make any difference anyway - console-setup comes after mountall)08:50
KamionDo you have upstart-logd installed?08:50
mbiebl/var/log has this message: Sep 10 20:29:13 rcS: stty: standard input: Invalid argument08:50
mbieblGuess this is the root of the problem.08:50
Kamionoh, I noticed that myself, hadn't tracked down what script it was from yet08:50
Kamionconsole-setup doesn't call stty directly though08:51
mbieblWell, the console-setup init script should output "Setting up console font and keymap..."08:52
mbieblBut I don't have this message in the /var/log/boot08:52
mbieblOnly the above error mesasge08:52
Kamionyeah, me neither now you mention it08:53
Kamionok, since this is something I see too, it should be relatively straightforward to track down08:53
Kamionthanks for bringing it to my attention08:53
