| joejaxx | there is also a debian folder :) | 02:29 |

| joejaxx | LaserJock: i never had to create folders before | 02:35 |
| LaserJock | no, I'm not saying you have to create them | 02:36 |

| === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | joejaxx: that probably won't change anything | 02:47 |
| LaserJock | although you should be building it with pbuilder | 02:47 |
| LaserJock | I'd try to run the install rule | 02:47 |
| minghua | yeah, most likely the install rule installed files to wrong place | 02:48 |
| LaserJock | I can't quite figure out which rule it's dying in from just looking at the log | 02:48 |
| minghua | s/install rule/build rule/ | 02:48 |
| minghua | is the source package somewhere? | 02:49 |
| joejaxx | minghua: the rule file is exactly like the Ubuntu-meta rule file | 02:49 |
| joejaxx | except instead of ubuntu-$$seeds its fluxbuntu-$$seeds | 02:49 |
| joejaxx | minghua: no it is not :\ | 02:49 |
| minghua | well, basically to build a fluxbutu-anything package, you need to have a Package: fluxbutu-anything stanta in debian/control, and before the binary rule is called, you need to have a debian/fluxbutu-anything/ directory with all the contents of the package in it | 02:52 |
| minghua | it seems you screwed up somewhere | 02:52 |
| joejaxx | minghua: i have never had to create that folder :\ | 02:52 |
| joejaxx | debian/fluxbuntu-anything | 02:52 |
| joejaxx | debian/fluxbuntu-anything/ * | 02:53 |
| joejaxx | the package builds fine when i am on edgy | 02:53 |
| minghua | oh I see | 02:53 |
| joejaxx | now i am back on dapper | 02:53 |
| joejaxx | and it does not | 02:53 |
| minghua | I didn't know it's a dapper-only issue | 02:53 |
| minghua | does it build fine in an edgy pbuilder? | 02:54 |
| joejaxx | yeap just like the at package is an edgy only issue | 02:54 |
| joejaxx | minghua: i do not use pbuilder | 02:54 |
| joejaxx | minghua: sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -kKEYHERE | 02:54 |
| minghua | joejaxx: you should | 02:54 |
| joejaxx | minghua: i have been using that since i read the Debian New Maintainers Guide a while back | 02:55 |
| joejaxx | never came across anything about pbuilder | 02:55 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: use pbuilder, I won't sponsor you packages if you don't ;-p | 02:55 |
| joejaxx | i do not know how to use pbuilder | 02:55 |
| minghua | if you don't use pbuilder, you can never be sure your build dependency is correct | 02:55 |
| minghua | it's simple as that | 02:56 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: the Ubuntu Packaging Guide has info | 02:56 |
| === rmjb_ [n=richard@cuscon17095.tstt.net.tt] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| joejaxx | why is there nothing about pbuilder in the Debian New Maintainers Guide? lol | 02:56 |
| LaserJock | because I didn't write the Debian New Maintainers Guide ;-) | 02:57 |
| joejaxx | so i should not be using dpkg-buildpackage that is interesting | 02:57 |
| minghua | and just for the justice, Debian NM Guide does mention and recommend pbuilder: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ch-checkit.en.html#s-pbuilder | 02:57 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: don't use dpkg-buildpackage to build your .debs | 02:58 |
| joejaxx | minghua: checking the package lol | 02:58 |
| joejaxx | the package is not built | 02:58 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: oh alright | 02:58 |
| minghua | and that chapter is _before_ "uploading the package" ;-) | 02:58 |
| LaserJock | use dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakroot (or more simply debuild -S ) to build your source package | 02:58 |
| joejaxx | minghua: cannot upload what you cannot build :P | 02:59 |
| joejaxx | ok | 02:59 |
| joejaxx | i will try pbuilder | 02:59 |
| minghua | joejaxx: did you build it in your edgy or not? | 02:59 |
| joejaxx | yes it built fine and installs fine on edgy :) | 02:59 |
| joejaxx | but for some reason not dapper | 03:00 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: pbuilders will also allow you to take you install to install differences | 03:00 |
| LaserJock | you don't know if it doesn't build in Dapper because of something different in your installation or becuase of the package itself | 03:00 |
| minghua | well, then it does build. then you can't build it in dapper, which means something is wrong with the package, and the pbuilder section is in "checking the package for errors", which IMHO is a perfect place | 03:00 |

| === joejaxx recodes all his previous maintainer knowledge | ||
| joejaxx | maybe someone used dpkg-buildpackage to build the at package too | 03:01 |
| joejaxx | and maybe that is why it works on dapper and not edgy | 03:01 |
| minghua | joejaxx: all the official packages are built in an environment similar to pbuilder, so your guess on at package is not correct | 03:05 |
| joejaxx | minghua: it does not install in a debootstrap environment | 03:06 |
| joejaxx | :\ | 03:06 |
| LaserJock | what doesn't install? | 03:07 |
| joejaxx | well bbl now i have to figure out how to build meta packages with pbuilder without source lol | 03:07 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: at | 03:07 |
| joejaxx | bll | 03:07 |
| joejaxx | bbl | 03:07 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: woah, how do you not have source? | 03:07 |
| joejaxx | i do not have a fluxbuntu-*.tar.gz | 03:08 |
| LaserJock | what do you have? | 03:08 |
| joejaxx | it is a metapackage | 03:08 |
| LaserJock | if you do dpkg-buildpackage it will first make a source package I believe | 03:08 |
| LaserJock | maybe not | 03:08 |
| LaserJock | a metapackage still has source | 03:09 |
| joejaxx | hmm maybe i am just using the wrong terminology | 03:10 |
| LaserJock | you should have a .dsc and .tar.gz file | 03:10 |
| joejaxx | how can i have those before i build the package? | 03:11 |
| LaserJock | that is a source package | 03:11 |
| LaserJock | not a binary package | 03:11 |
| minghua | dpkg-buildpackage -S, as LaserJock has mentioned | 03:11 |
| joejaxx | but you told me not to use that | 03:12 |
| LaserJock | you *should* have a source package | 03:12 |
| LaserJock | no | 03:12 |
| LaserJock | we told you not to use dpkg-buildpackage directly | 03:12 |
| LaserJock | I told you to use dpkg-buildpckage -S to build a source package | 03:12 |
| joejaxx | is pbuilder used like this ins debian also? | 03:15 |
| joejaxx | in* | 03:15 |
| LaserJock | yes | 03:15 |
| LaserJock | using pbuilder will make you're life easier | 03:18 |
| LaserJock | and make your packages saner :-) | 03:18 |
| LaserJock | so it's all around a good thing | 03:18 |
| joejaxx | where is this Ubuntu New Maintainers Guide? | 03:21 |
| rmjb | http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html | 03:21 |
| rmjb | I'm learning too | 03:22 |
| LaserJock | !packaging guide | 03:23 |
| ubotu | The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources | 03:23 |
| LaserJock | doh, didn't see rmjb's link | 03:23 |
| rmjb | need some advice guys, I'm backing up to do a fresh install of edgy, i've backed up my gpg key with http://wiki.openskills.net/OpenSkills/OpenPGP+Key+Backup | 03:25 |
| rmjb | to backup my ssh keys I just copy the files? | 03:25 |
| minghua | copy your ~/.gnupg over should work | 03:26 |
| minghua | (I didn't check the URL) | 03:26 |
| LaserJock | yeah, I just tar up .gnupg and .ssh | 03:26 |
| rmjb | oh, cool, well I'll just do that then | 03:27 |
| === joejaxx bangs his head on the wall | ||
| LaserJock | uh oh, that's not good | 03:30 |
| joejaxx | same error with pbuilder | 03:31 |
| LaserJock | that doesn't surprise me | 03:31 |
| LaserJock | but now you have a source package? | 03:32 |
| joejaxx | you mean a dsc? | 03:32 |
| === thehound [n=thehound@206.135.97.35] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | well, the .dsc and .tar.gz | 03:32 |
| joejaxx | yeah | 03:32 |
| LaserJock | good, put them on the web were I can get them | 03:33 |
| minghua | doesn't surprise me either, I suspected missing build-depends in the first place | 03:33 |
| joejaxx | Build-Depends: debhelper (>=4) | 03:33 |
| joejaxx | same as ubuntu-meta | 03:33 |
| minghua | (oh, considering there is no source package when you build the package in edgy, maybe not build dependency) | 03:34 |
| LaserJock | my money's on debian/control | 03:35 |
| LaserJock | ;-) | 03:35 |
| minghua | (dpkg-buildpackge should give you source package as well) | 03:35 |
| joejaxx | it does | 03:35 |
| joejaxx | which is why there are source packages in the fluxbuntu repos for edgy | 03:36 |
| joejaxx | http://archive.fluxbuntu.net/fluxbuntu/dists/dapper/main/source/ | 03:37 |
| joejaxx | have fun | 03:37 |
| minghua | <joejaxx> i do not have a fluxbuntu-*.tar.gz | 03:38 |
| minghua | that's what I was commenting on | 03:38 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: heh, I'm glad you are turning over the copyright to your packages to Canonical ;-) | 03:39 |
| joejaxx | the update does that automatically does it not? | 03:39 |
| joejaxx | lol | 03:39 |
| joejaxx | actually i have to talk to canonical about that | 03:40 |
| joejaxx | technically i have a pending trademark | 03:40 |
| rmjb | when I run dh_make -e ... and it asks s/m/l/k/b then asks to confirm a bunch of information... how do I change that information before I confirm? | 03:43 |
| joejaxx | rmjb: what like the name? | 03:44 |
| joejaxx | etc? | 03:44 |
| rmjb | yeah to start | 03:44 |
| rmjb | and the license | 03:44 |
| joejaxx | -c to specific the copyright file | 03:44 |
| joejaxx | or license | 03:44 |
| LaserJock | I don't know that you can edit it, but it's pretty easy to edit it after the fact or whip out debian/ and do it again | 03:45 |
| joejaxx | export $DEBFULLNAME='Joseph Jackson IV' <<rmjb | 03:45 |
| joejaxx | you can put that in your .bashrc file | 03:46 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: oh ok | 03:46 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: I'm wondering if this is a debhelper problem | 03:46 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 03:47 |
| rmjb | thanks guys | 03:48 |
| rmjb | sf.net projects usually have an announce mailing list don't they? | 03:48 |
| joejaxx | rmjb: you are most welcome | 03:48 |
| joejaxx | rmjb: i think they do | 03:48 |
| minghua | LaserJock: dh_make does NOT belong to debhelper (and IMHO packaging guides just shouldn't recommend dh_make anymore) | 03:52 |
| LaserJock | minghua: perhaps | 03:53 |
| LaserJock | it is nice to have templates, although I don't like some of the stuff in debian/rules | 03:53 |
| LaserJock | and I didn't say dh_make belonged to debhelper :-) | 03:54 |
| minghua | LaserJock: yeah, I figure that I misread your "I'm wondering if this is a debhelper problem" now :-S | 03:54 |

| joejaxx | LaserJock: the depends are pulled from seed just like ubuntu-meta | 04:14 |
| LaserJock | is a transitional dummy package built by ubuntu-meta | 04:14 |
| LaserJock | that is arch independent | 04:14 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: so i need to put that? | 04:14 |

| === davidindarlo [n=david@d58-106-58-178.mas2.nsw.optusnet.com.au] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Leaving"] | ||
| LaserJock | in fact you already are building too many met packages | 04:15 |
| LaserJock | you really should only need fluxbuntu-desktop | 04:15 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: what do you mean? | 04:15 |
| joejaxx | i cannot use ubuntu-live | 04:15 |
| LaserJock | well, fluxbuntu-live too, until edgy | 04:15 |
| LaserJock | edgy won't use it | 04:15 |
| joejaxx | it comes with the gnome language support files | 04:16 |
| joejaxx | which i do not need | 04:16 |
| joejaxx | edgy? | 04:16 |
| LaserJock | but I don't think you need -minimal and -standard | 04:16 |
| LaserJock | Edgy doesn't use metapackages for -live | 04:16 |
| LaserJock | it uses tasksel | 04:17 |
| joejaxx | oh i am not building fluxbuntu for edgy | 04:17 |
| LaserJock | but when you do you'll have to look at that | 04:17 |
| joejaxx | which is why i spent the time today converting the fluxbuntu seeds from edgy to dapper | 04:17 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: oh ok | 04:17 |
| LaserJock | ok, so back to the problem | 04:18 |
| LaserJock | you are telling it to build arch independent .debs in debian/rules | 04:18 |
| LaserJock | but you don't specify any arch independent packages in debian/control | 04:18 |
| LaserJock | soo | 04:19 |
| LaserJock | you can take out the stuff in binary-indep as they aren't needed | 04:19 |
| joejaxx | so i need to change Architecture: Any to All | 04:19 |
| LaserJock | no | 04:19 |
| joejaxx | well i want to build independent debs | 04:19 |
| LaserJock | you don't want to build arch independent packages do you? | 04:19 |
| LaserJock | why? | 04:19 |
| joejaxx | how else am i going to build powerpc livecd? | 04:20 |
| joejaxx | livecds* | 04:20 |
| joejaxx | amd64 and ia64 also | 04:20 |
| LaserJock | buy having a ppc .deb | 04:20 |
| LaserJock | arch independent means the package does not depend on architecture | 04:20 |
| LaserJock | your meta packages *do* depend on architecture | 04:21 |
| joejaxx | ok | 04:21 |
| LaserJock | desktop-i386 is different then desktop-ppc | 04:21 |
| LaserJock | right? | 04:21 |
| joejaxx | yes | 04:21 |
| LaserJock | there you go | 04:21 |
| joejaxx | so i need to take that whole section out of the rule file? | 04:22 |
| LaserJock | yes, but don't take out the first line | 04:22 |
| LaserJock | leave binary-indep there | 04:22 |
| joejaxx | ok | 04:22 |
| LaserJock | now the more interesting thing is why it didn't have a problem in edgy | 04:22 |
| LaserJock | I believe it is because debhelper has changed | 04:23 |
| LaserJock | so it errored out in Dapper, but just warns in Edgy | 04:23 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 04:23 |
| joejaxx | let me try this | 04:23 |
| LaserJock | the same thing happens in both cases | 04:23 |
| joejaxx | yeah | 04:23 |
| joejaxx | ok | 04:26 |
| joejaxx | so now before i had to go in a edit the rule file to build to a specific arch | 04:26 |
| joejaxx | how can i make it build all of them | 04:26 |
| joejaxx | instead of going back to change that line | 04:26 |
| joejaxx | after i build an arch to build the next one | 04:26 |
| rmjb | if I'm packaging a java app, it's preferable to use gcj instead of java during the build? | 04:27 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: yes | 04:27 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: sun's java is in Multiverse | 04:27 |
| rmjb | ok | 04:27 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: what line? | 04:28 |
| joejaxx | DEB_BUILD_ARCH:=$(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH) | 04:28 |
| joejaxx | instead of having that i whould have to | 04:28 |
| joejaxx | DEB_CUILD_ARCJ:=i386 | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | oh, well normally you upload to the Ubuntu build machines | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | and they would build them for you | 04:29 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: yes but i have machines here to build them | 04:29 |
| joejaxx | so just give the source to each one? | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | then you should be able to just build them | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | yes | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | it just takes the arch from each machine | 04:29 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: does the arch of the build machine matter when it comes to metas? | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | well, a ppc machine will build the ppc debs | 04:30 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: yes but i mean if you build ppc debs on a i386 | 04:30 |
| LaserJock | amd64 can build both amd64 and i386 | 04:30 |
| joejaxx | a meta package that is | 04:30 |
| LaserJock | you basically can't do that | 04:30 |
| LaserJock | in reality you can rig up a cross compiler in pbuilder | 04:30 |
| LaserJock | imbrandon has done that I believe | 04:31 |
| LaserJock | but it's tough | 04:31 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: but what i am wondering is | 04:31 |
| === No1Viking [n=micke@h-83-140-104-74.ip.rixbredband.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| joejaxx | if there is no actually compiling going on for the meta packages | 04:31 |
| LaserJock | ah | 04:31 |
| joejaxx | why does the arch of the machine matter? | 04:31 |
| LaserJock | well, I suppose it might not in this case | 04:31 |
| joejaxx | build machine* | 04:32 |
| joejaxx | i know you need seperate machine arch swhen building a regular packages :P | 04:32 |
| joejaxx | archs when* | 04:32 |
| joejaxx | -a | 04:32 |
| rmjb | what's a sane dependency for gcj? just gcj or gcj-base? | 04:32 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: not sure | 04:32 |
| rmjb | (gcj needs 42MB of packages...) | 04:32 |
| LaserJock | you might want to look at an existing package | 04:33 |
| === ubuntu_demon [n=depjayds@84-104-161-188.cable.quicknet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| rmjb | good idea | 04:33 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: so in reality it doesn't matter I guess for these metapackages | 04:33 |
| joejaxx | i should change DEB_BUILD_ARCH:=$(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH) to DEB_BUILD_ARCH:=$(shell echo ARCHBUILD) | 04:33 |
| === ubuntu_demon [n=depjayds@84-104-161-188.cable.quicknet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| joejaxx | ../ARCHBUILD that is | 04:33 |
| joejaxx | so it pulls the arch that i specify in that file | 04:34 |
| joejaxx | instead of dpkg-architecture | 04:34 |
| === Arrogance [n=aks@ottawa-hs-206-191-56-75.d-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | well, but then you are still messing with the source package each time you build on a different arch | 04:34 |
| LaserJock | I'd rather have a ppc machine build ppc | 04:34 |
| LaserJock | and an amd64 machine build i386 and amd64 | 04:34 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: but how whould i be messing with the source package if it pulls from that file? | 04:35 |
| joejaxx | that is on the outside of the source directory | 04:35 |
| LaserJock | a file that would have to change with each arch, no? | 04:35 |
| joejaxx | yes | 04:35 |
| joejaxx | but it is on the outside of the source directory | 04:35 |
| LaserJock | that sounds like a bad idea | 04:36 |
| LaserJock | because then your source package depends on a file outside of itself | 04:36 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: oh ok | 04:36 |
| LaserJock | and outside the package management system | 04:36 |
| LaserJock | for you're own personal use it wouldn't be a big deal | 04:36 |
| LaserJock | but I would personally not use it for anything I distribute | 04:37 |
| LaserJock | this is also a reason why Ichthux does its development within Universe | 04:37 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 04:37 |
| LaserJock | so we can let Ubuntu build machines do the building for us :-) | 04:37 |
| joejaxx | Ichthux? | 04:37 |
| joejaxx | what is that? | 04:37 |
| LaserJock | Kubuntu derivative | 04:38 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 04:38 |
| joejaxx | what is the project goal? | 04:38 |
| LaserJock | I thought you were talking with the project devs | 04:38 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: ? | 04:38 |
| LaserJock | raphink | 04:38 |
| joejaxx | i have never heard of that project | 04:39 |
| === joejaxx goes to google | ||
| LaserJock | it's a Kubuntu derivative targeted towards Christian users and organizations | 04:39 |
| LaserJock | it's done by Ubuntu and Debian developers | 04:39 |
| LaserJock | and is in Universe | 04:39 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 04:40 |
| LaserJock | www.ichthux.com | 04:40 |
| joejaxx | so that is why it is named that | 04:40 |
| LaserJock | so that's why I've been trying to help out with Fluxbuntu and UbuntuStudio, I've been doing some similar work | 04:41 |
| joejaxx | yeah i have never heard of that project before until you said something about it | 04:41 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: oh ok :) | 04:41 |
| LaserJock | ok, I thought I had mentioned it | 04:41 |
| joejaxx | nope not until now :) | 04:41 |
| LaserJock | anyway, we've done what you are doing now | 04:42 |
| LaserJock | we built a Dapper based release last month | 04:42 |
| LaserJock | and are shortly releasing the Edgy version | 04:42 |
| joejaxx | oh ok that is good | 04:42 |
| LaserJock | as soon as we get the -live stuff figured out properly | 04:42 |
| === ubuntu_demon [n=depjayds@84-104-161-188.cable.quicknet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| joejaxx | yeah | 04:43 |
| LaserJock | I guess the new way of using tasks made it more difficult to build the .iso | 04:43 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 04:44 |
| joejaxx | fluxbuntu releases are going to be dapper until edgy+1 comes out | 04:44 |
| LaserJock | why is that? | 04:44 |
| joejaxx | instability | 04:44 |
| LaserJock | but edgy is more stable | 04:45 |
| LaserJock | well, at least for many people | 04:45 |
| LaserJock | have you found instability? | 04:45 |
| joejaxx | not for alot of the fluxbuntu users that use ubuntu also | 04:45 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: i have | 04:45 |
| joejaxx | gnome (nautilus) crashed twice | 04:45 |
| joejaxx | firefox 14 times | 04:45 |
| LaserJock | interesting | 04:45 |
| joejaxx | and that is edgy stable/final | 04:46 |
| LaserJock | hmm, how odd | 04:46 |
| === StevenK is pondering upgrading this machine to edgy. | ||
| joejaxx | and i am not the only one experiencing that | 04:46 |
| LaserJock | Edgy is all around much nicer for me and most of the people I've talked to | 04:46 |
| LaserJock | but that's not a whole lot of people | 04:46 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 04:46 |
| joejaxx | the other reason was most of the updates were to gnome | 04:48 |
| LaserJock | in fact I wish they hadn't use the "Long Term Support" term with Dapper because then people think that Edgy is a totally unstable, crackful, use-at-your-own-risk release | 04:48 |
| joejaxx | or that is how it was projected to be on the wiki | 04:48 |
| LaserJock | really? | 04:48 |
| LaserJock | I thought stuff like upstart would be useful for fluxbuntu | 04:48 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: yeah any new stuff with gnome whould not be useful for fluxbuntu | 04:49 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: the other thing was apt | 04:49 |
| joejaxx | a while back apt-get was destroying stuff | 04:49 |
| LaserJock | yeah, there was some interesting new stuff with apt | 04:49 |
| joejaxx | but it seems that problem was fixed | 04:49 |
| LaserJock | the other thing is preserving an upgrade path | 04:49 |
| joejaxx | you mean for people who want to install fluxbuntu-desktop? | 04:50 |
| LaserJock | going to dapper to dapper+2 will greating reduce the chances of a successful upgrade | 04:50 |
| joejaxx | lol | 04:50 |
| joejaxx | well i rather have a stabe fluxbuntu | 04:50 |
| LaserJock | but it should be as stable as Ubuntu | 04:50 |
| joejaxx | then update to edgy and have multiple tickets about things crashing or not working | 04:50 |
| LaserJock | which is pretty stable | 04:50 |
| LaserJock | ok, but you'd rather break the upgrade path for your Edgy+1 users? | 04:51 |
| joejaxx | edgy+1? | 04:51 |
| joejaxx | dapper+1? | 04:51 |
| LaserJock | dapper+1 = edgy | 04:52 |
| joejaxx | if they are edgy+1 users that means they have fawn | 04:52 |
| LaserJock | right | 04:52 |
| LaserJock | but there is no reason to think feisty will be any more stable then edgy | 04:52 |
| joejaxx | why whould they have to upgrade to fawn if there is already a fawn fluxbuntu release | 04:53 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: dapper+2 = feisty | 04:53 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: exactly | 04:53 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: exactly | 04:53 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: which is why i am waiting | 04:53 |
| StevenK | Why don't you debug the crashes and provide patches in -updates? | 04:53 |
| LaserJock | how are Dapper Fluxbuntu people going to upgrade to Feisty Fluxbuntu? | 04:53 |
| rmjb | joejaxx: I think he saying that skipping edgy will make going from dapper to fawn trickier | 04:53 |
| joejaxx | people have come to me and have asked "are we switching to edgy" and i tell them no and most of the response is "good" | 04:54 |
| LaserJock | and how do you know feisty will be any more stable then edgy? | 04:54 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: i do not know | 04:54 |
| joejaxx | but i know at this point | 04:54 |
| LaserJock | they can run Dapper if they want | 04:54 |
| rmjb | no reason fluxbuntu couldn't release an edgy upgrade mid cycle, when edgy "settles" | 04:54 |
| joejaxx | dapper is stabler then edgy | 04:55 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: not necessarily, in some cases maybe | 04:55 |
| === StevenK notes Edgy behaves better than Dapper on his laptop. | ||
| StevenK | Which reminds me, I want Dapper on my file server. | 04:55 |
| rmjb | dapper's just more settled, I like the new things in edgy... but they're gnome things | 04:55 |
| LaserJock | regardless, I think you should think about your upgrade path | 04:56 |
| LaserJock | KDE's got great things | 04:56 |
| joejaxx | kde? | 04:56 |
| LaserJock | and I *know* science apps are much more stable in Edgy | 04:56 |
| rmjb | don't use kubuntu unfortunately... will try it out though | 04:56 |
| LaserJock | what I'm saying is that it's not just Gnome | 04:57 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: what are you going to do for Dapper Fluxbuntu users when Feisty Fluxbuntu comes out? | 04:58 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: so you are saying you whould rather have people upgrade to something that crashes then stay with a stable distro? | 04:58 |
| rmjb | other topic: if a source pacakge has .am Makefiles, it still makes sense to use cdbs, or stick with debhelper? | 04:58 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: people know there is not a way to upgrade right now | 04:58 |
| LaserJock | joejaxx: I'm saying you probably should support all Ubuntu release | 04:58 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: it has been made quite clear | 04:58 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: well cdbs just uses debhelper so I don't think there is a distinct advantage | 04:59 |
| StevenK | Then again, Dapper -> Feisty may well be supported, given Dapper's LTS standing. | 04:59 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: all of the fluxbuntu releases have been developmental | 04:59 |
| joejaxx | people are waiting for a stable | 05:00 |
| rmjb | from the packager's guide is says the rules file is simpler... but since this is my first real package (and not an update) I'll stick with debhelper | 05:00 |
| LaserJock | I just don't know why people care about LTS so much | 05:00 |
| LaserJock | it doesn't necessarily mean it's more stable | 05:00 |
| rmjb | I'm keeping my file/cups server on lts...because it's lts :-/ | 05:01 |
| LaserJock | it just mean Canonical is willing to support it for longer | 05:01 |
| rmjb | but if I want to put myth on it... I'll be tempted to upgrade | 05:01 |
| LaserJock | we tried to make it as stable as possible | 05:01 |
| LaserJock | but we try to do that with all releases | 05:02 |
| === StevenK agrees with LaserJock. | ||
| LaserJock | edgy had just the same amount of stabilization time | 05:02 |
| LaserJock | as dapper | 05:02 |
| LaserJock | Dapper is LTS because we had a lot of improvements over Breezy | 05:03 |
| LaserJock | and it looked like things overall were more stable | 05:03 |
| LaserJock | but Edgy builds on top of those changes, it's not like we just dumped all the improvements made in Dapper | 05:04 |
| === fowlduck [n=duck@68-190-90-101.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | so yeah, if I was running a critical server I'd use Dapper to get longer support | 05:04 |
| LaserJock | in -security and -updates | 05:05 |
| LaserJock | but I really don't see any reason why desktop users should shy away from Edgy | 05:05 |
| poningru | and this is fear of update is compounded by couple of digg stories | 05:07 |
| poningru | the update nightmare stories | 05:07 |
| rmjb | this release should have been the blingbuntu one... too bad it only had 4 months | 05:07 |
| rmjb | if it was more people would look past the FUD | 05:08 |

| minghua | I suppose if you use only stuff in main edgy is better than dapper | 05:34 |
| minghua | otherwise I'll recommend people to stay with dapper | 05:34 |
| luisbg | hey all | 05:34 |
| Hobbsee | rmjb: --save-after-login? or you mean drop to a shell inside the pbuilder if it fails to build? | 05:35 |
| Hobbsee | hey luisbg | 05:35 |
| rmjb | Hobbsee: a shell in pbuilder is possible?!? tell me more... | 05:36 |
| minghua | Hobbsee: I think rmjb mean not cleaning things in /var/cache/pbuilder/build/xxx/ | 05:36 |
| minghua | Hobbsee: while I remember --save-after-login means keeping you changes in base.tgz | 05:36 |
| Hobbsee | oh yeah | 05:37 |
| minghua | rmjb: read pbuilder(8) man page and search for "login" | 05:37 |
| rmjb | ok | 05:37 |
| Hobbsee | rmjb: yeah, pbuilder hooks will let you do that | 05:37 |
| Hobbsee | minghua: there's a pbuilder hook for it - drop to a shell inside the pbuilder if it ftbfs | 05:37 |
| Hobbsee | which is even easier than pbuilder login | 05:38 |
| minghua | Hobbsee: thanks. I know hooks are possible, never used it though | 05:38 |
| minghua | rmjb: yeah, my reply was probably a bit misleading, sorry | 05:38 |
| Hobbsee | minghua: i like the one that checks for installability, etc :) | 05:38 |
| === minghua hugs his debi | ||
| _MMA_ | Laserjock: You there? | 05:39 |
| minghua | although auto-checking for installability is handy, I admit | 05:39 |
| LaserJock | _MMA_: yeah | 05:39 |
| _MMA_ | "but I really don't see any reason why desktop users should shy away from Edgy" | 05:40 |
| _MMA_ | For me, I only went to Edgy on 1 out of 5 machines because they all have nvidia cards. I need the restricted modules. When I use them, my USB devices are detected less than half the time. I have to restart till they get detected. | 05:40 |
| rmjb | if something ftbfs, if I do a pbuilder login right after the failure will be in base.tgz? | 05:40 |
| _MMA_ | I was watching you and Joe talk. | 05:40 |
| LaserJock | hmm | 05:41 |
| minghua | rmjb: no. in that case you need hooks as Hobbsee mentioned | 05:41 |
| LaserJock | I'm not sure if that kind of thing will get a -updates upload or not | 05:41 |
| _MMA_ | Without the modules Im fine. | 05:41 |
| LaserJock | minghua: you think Universe isn't in better shape in Edgy? | 05:41 |
| minghua | (you can always do a login and hand build again to reproduce FTBFS, of course) | 05:41 |
| rmjb | I read about the hooks... I'll need to read it closer to understand it better... | 05:42 |
| LaserJock | I have 4 machines and I run Edgy on 3 of them and they run better then Dapper | 05:42 |
| minghua | LaserJock: yes, basically less testing | 05:42 |
| LaserJock | minghua: but they had the same amount of testing | 05:42 |
| LaserJock | more or less | 05:42 |
| luisbg | hey LaserJock, 5:43 am here | 05:43 |
| minghua | LaserJock: 4 month development cycle vs. 8 month development cycle is less testing to me | 05:43 |
| LaserJock | but the Freezes were about the same | 05:43 |
| minghua | LaserJock: but that's probably not the main point | 05:43 |
| _MMA_ | Laserjock: Once I get past that, Im cool. But damn if it aint annoying. I also did a clean install. I dont believe in upgrading over an existing system. :) Just me. | 05:43 |
| minghua | LaserJock: I just got the general impression from browsing Chinese user forums | 05:44 |
| LaserJock | anyway, I'm not going to say that Edgy is perfect | 05:44 |
| LaserJock | but LTS is basically a Canonical thing | 05:44 |
| rmjb | got to sleep, g'night all | 05:44 |
| LaserJock | and people are going to be in an interesting position when Feisty comes out | 05:45 |
| minghua | by the way does anybody know the upgrade policy for dapper? is dapper->(next LTS) upgrade patch supported? | 05:45 |
| LaserJock | well I'm guessing the next LTS is probably at least 2 years down the road | 05:46 |
| StevenK | Dapper+4 may not be LTS. | 05:46 |
| minghua | (and if yes, what if dapper -> edgy -> feisty -> ... -> (next LTS) and dapper -> (next LTS) differ? :-P) | 05:46 |
| LaserJock | 3-5 if Canonical doesn't want to support 2 LTS releases at the same time | 05:46 |
| Burgundavia | minghua: lts --> lts is undecided | 05:46 |
| minghua | Burgundavia: thanks | 05:47 |
| minghua | I am just curious | 05:47 |
| Burgundavia | I would widely expect to have the next lts at some point in about 2 years | 05:47 |
| LaserJock | minghua: yeah, that's why I would leave LTS to Canonical | 05:47 |
| LaserJock | ;-) | 05:47 |
| Burgundavia | probably 8.10 | 05:47 |
| LaserJock | but there's no way to know | 05:47 |
| Burgundavia | no, there really isn't | 05:48 |
| LaserJock | so I hate to see people riding on LTS | 05:48 |
| LaserJock | for derivative development | 05:48 |
| LaserJock | and desktop usres | 05:49 |
| LaserJock | *users | 05:49 |
| rmjb | LaserJock: as they want newer packages they'll upgrade, because new versions wont be backported... at least that's the impression I got | 05:49 |
| minghua | LaserJock: I agree basing derivative development on LTS is silly | 05:49 |
| Burgundavia | who is proposing such? | 05:49 |
| Hobbsee | rmjb: no, they just expect packages to get backported, because it's LTS. they're wrong. | 05:49 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: backports will certainly be going for Edgy, maybe just not as much so | 05:50 |
| rmjb | Hobbsee: I was thinking along those lines too, I was advised otherwise | 05:50 |
| Hobbsee | rmjb: indeed. but people still seem to think that. actually, waht's more weird is when people whinge about the latest packages not being available for breezy. BREEZY!!!! | 05:51 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: here is what I would do: not have a stable fluxbuntu until feisty | 05:51 |
| joejaxx | everyone here is assuming too mcuh | 05:51 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: make your users track feisty, which gives you all that testing coverage | 05:51 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: that is what i was planning to use | 05:51 |
| joejaxx | exactly | 05:51 |
| joejaxx | that was exactly whati was going to do | 05:51 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: plus then you get all the dev work into ubuntu directly | 05:51 |
| Burgundavia | plan for the "hit by the bus" event | 05:51 |
| joejaxx | i never said i was going to stay with dapper because it was lts | 05:52 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: yeah | 05:52 |
| rmjb | Hobbsee: people coming from the Windows world will expect that... we didn't have to move from 2000 to XP to use Office XP... but in Linux, since a whole lot of the apps are part of the distro release, the upgrade with the distro | 05:52 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: all of the releases up to this point have been developmental | 05:52 |
| rmjb | it's just a mindset change | 05:52 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: the stable is far from now anyway :) | 05:52 |
| Hobbsee | rmjb: true that. in the case of windows, almost none dist-upgrade anyway, so it's completely different. | 05:53 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: Launch 1 or the equivalent to fawn final will be released when fawn comes out | 05:53 |
| minghua | rmjb: I disagree. You can always download newest firefox/OOo and install them independently | 05:54 |
| Burgundavia | rmjb: new code == new bugs | 05:54 |
| minghua | rmjb: that isn't different from windows scenario | 05:54 |
| minghua | my opinion is some people just don't understand what "distribution" and "release" mean | 05:55 |
| === StevenK wishes people would stop calling Feisty "fawn" | ||
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Same. | 05:55 |
| Fujitsu | Let's talk about warthog, hedgehog, badger and drake! | 05:55 |
| joejaxx | :\ | 05:55 |
| Fujitsu | It seems everyone is doing it... | 05:56 |
| === StevenK nods. | ||
| minghua | fawn is easier to type than feisty | 05:56 |
| Fujitsu | I even heard Kamion or somebody like that call it fawn a couple of days back :S | 05:56 |
| StevenK | Yes, and drake is one letter less than dapper, but everyone calls it Dapper? | 05:56 |
| minghua | StevenK: just kidding :-) | 05:56 |
| StevenK | That's a crappy argument, and you know it. | 05:56 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: A whole lot of people even call it Drapper! | 05:56 |
| === StevenK twitches. | ||
| minghua | yes, I know it | 05:56 |
| joejaxx | why does Mr. Shuttleworth have two names for each release? that is like saying i have to call everyone by their first names instead of saying Mr. Soandso | 05:57 |
| StevenK | It has one name: Ubuntu 6.10 | 05:58 |
| Fujitsu | Speaking of official names... Wouldn't it be a good idea to have numeric aliases in the archive? | 05:58 |
| Burgundavia | it has a code name and release number | 05:58 |
| Burgundavia | just like window | 05:58 |
| Burgundavia | windows or os x | 05:58 |
| Fujitsu | As the codename doesn't appear anywhere else... | 05:58 |
| Fujitsu | Chicago! | 05:58 |
| Burgundavia | longhorn? | 05:58 |
| whiprush | people have always called it by the adjective though | 05:58 |
| whiprush | not the noun | 05:59 |
| whiprush | for ubuntu | 05:59 |
| Burgundavia | because they are catchy | 05:59 |
| whiprush | yes | 05:59 |
| Fujitsu | whiprush: Yes, but who knows why... It is catchy, as Burgundavia said. | 05:59 |
| Fujitsu | `I'm running Edgy' vs. `I'm running Eft' or `I'm running 6.10' | 05:59 |
| minghua | I actually would prefer using the noun | 05:59 |
| whiprush | the proper way is "I'm running 6.10" | 05:59 |
| whiprush | the other stuff is for geeks like us | 06:00 |
| === StevenK likes using the adjective. | ||
| Fujitsu | whiprush: Yes, but Edgy seems to sound better regardless. | 06:00 |
| minghua | oh, and just to provide a perspective, most Chinese users just use the release number, even for the development branch | 06:00 |
| minghua | because the words for the code name are just too hard :-) | 06:01 |
| Fujitsu | Urgh. | 06:01 |
| Fujitsu | The release number is really only for the final, but I guess the names can be a bit hard for foreigners. | 06:01 |
| minghua | I don't think Chinese is special among the non-English speaking community | 06:01 |
| minghua | then use some easy code names like testing and unstable :-) | 06:02 |
| === joejaxx regrets speaking | ||
| joejaxx | now* | 06:02 |
| Fujitsu | A lot of non-English speakers I've seen in #ubuntu say Drapper, which is strange... Where'd they pull that from? | 06:02 |
| Fujitsu | joejaxx: It has produced interesting discussion! | 06:02 |
| joejaxx | not really | 06:02 |
| StevenK | Fujitsu: Weird contraction of Dapper and Drake? | 06:02 |
| joejaxx | all my statements are catalyst for debating conversations | 06:03 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Probably, but... WTF!? | 06:03 |
| joejaxx | just like in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:03 |
| StevenK | Fujitsu: Heh | 06:03 |
| Fujitsu | #ubuntu-motu == #ubuntu-offtopic most of the time anyway :P | 06:03 |
| Hobbsee | joejaxx: you should see what happens when beryl by default was mentioned. that brought far more conversation than this | 06:03 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: just amongst different people | 06:03 |
| whiprush | heh | 06:03 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: and we do actually do some dev sutf fin here | 06:03 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: Urgh, you just had to bring that up again, didn't you? | 06:03 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: I'd almost stuffed that out of my mind... | 06:03 |
| Fujitsu | Dev stuff!? | 06:03 |
| Fujitsu | Impossible. | 06:03 |
| joejaxx | Hobbsee: yeah i just need to stop talking that is the solution | 06:04 |
| Fujitsu | (well, rare, especially at this time) | 06:04 |
| joejaxx | and asking questions* | 06:04 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: of course! :D on that note, i rejected a beryl bug yesterday. we need a preresponse for unsupported software | 06:04 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: write one now, and add it to the page. thankyou. :) | 06:04 |
| Burgundavia | Hobbsee: gnome has a NOTGNOME one | 06:04 |
| Burgundavia | we can probably adapt that | 06:04 |
| Hobbsee | Burgundavia: i didnt see it. that sounds good thoguh | 06:05 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: Sounds like a good ide. | 06:05 |
| Fujitsu | *idea | 06:05 |

| minghua | by the way do we have beryl packages? | 06:08 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: Not AFAIK. | 06:08 |
| Burgundavia | hopefully not | 06:09 |
| minghua | but we have flash package in universe | 06:09 |
| === Burgundavia takes beryls and sends it swimming with the fishes | ||
| Hobbsee | minghua: no, i'ts just the crack that they've installed themselves, then it breaks | 06:09 |
| Fujitsu | So we're going to get this incredibly unstable, unpackaged software, and put it in main, and installed by default for Edgy, yay. | 06:09 |
| StevenK | I think imbrandon is working on/has beryl packages. | 06:09 |
| minghua | oh, Fujitsu said flash 9 | 06:09 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: Yes. | 06:09 |
| Hobbsee | unfortunately, i've lost root access to imbrandon's machine | 06:09 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: I must dissuade him... | 06:09 |
| Fujitsu | I've got access to two... | 06:10 |
| minghua | yeah, then I think "Rejected" with "XXX is not from Ubuntu and can't be supported" is good enough | 06:10 |
| Fujitsu | (not root access, but access all the same) | 06:10 |
| minghua | while I feel "NOTUBUNTU" don't emphasize this point enough | 06:10 |

| Chandu | Fujitsu, good morning | 06:32 |
| === lifeless [n=robertc@ppp245-86.static.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Chandu | hey , I have download motu-tools .. It contains some bash scripts and some python scripts .. | 06:33 |
| Chandu | How do I work with those | 06:33 |
| Chandu | How can I try for sync and merge with those scripts | 06:34 |
| Chandu | From the documents I am not clear about automated merge ..What does it mean | 06:34 |
| Chandu | Is it that ..debian packages will be automatically synced into ubuntu or merged into ubuntu without rebuid | 06:35 |
| Hobbsee | Chandu: automatic syncs - they get built on ubuntu, and put straight into the archives without a version number change | 06:35 |
| Hobbsee | only 25 merges? that's pathetic! | 06:36 |
| Fujitsu | Hi Chandu... | 06:36 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, get built on ubuntu means , debian source will be taken and will be rebuilt for ubuntus future release and if working fine will get synced | 06:36 |
| Hobbsee | Chandu: actually, i dont think it checks if it builds or not - it syncs, and then ubuntu builds the binaries | 06:37 |
| Hobbsee | ie, sync first, check for build later | 06:37 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, is it sync of source and then build binaries for ubuntu later | 06:37 |
| Hobbsee | Chandu: correct | 06:38 |
| === minghua can't believe he can't find a simple doc talking about installing build-dependencies, rebuilding, and installing the locally-built packages | ||
| Hobbsee | hmmm, not that many kde packages either | 06:38 |
| minghua | LaserJock: as you are the doc guy here -- do you know such a thing exists? | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | hang on a sec, let me read it | 06:39 |
| Chandu | Fujitsu, can you tell me How do I work on motu-tools ... I have downloaded those scripts | 06:39 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, sync of source means what ...alll debian source will be moved to ubuntu archive | 06:40 |
| Hobbsee | yes | 06:40 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, How do you build binaries for future release ..what is the build infrastructure | 06:40 |
| Hobbsee | (unless the .orig.tar.gz is already the same version that you're importing) | 06:41 |
| Hobbsee | Chandu: pbuilder | 06:41 |
| Hobbsee | !pbuilder | 06:41 |
| ubotu | pbuilder is a system to easily build packages in a clean chroot environment. To get started with PBuilder, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 06:41 |
| LaserJock | minghua: like a: apt-get source , apt-get build-dep, dpkg-buildpackage, dpkg -i, apt-get -f install ? | 06:41 |
| minghua | s/dpkg -i, apt-get -f install/debi/, but yeah, basically that | 06:41 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, So ubuntu wont be taking the debian binaries ... all binaries in ubnutu are rebuilt again | 06:42 |
| Hobbsee | Chandu: correct | 06:42 |
| LaserJock | minghua: interesting, I only knew of gdebi | 06:42 |
| LaserJock | minghua: the next version of the Ubunt packaging guide were I have time to actually work on it will have that at the beginning | 06:43 |
| LaserJock | it's on my todo list | 06:43 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, Suppose dapper is released ..archive is present ..Now Iam working on edgy ... want to setup archive for edgy .. How do I sync merge and build pacakges for edgy and setup archive | 06:43 |
| minghua | LaserJock: thanks! | 06:44 |
| LaserJock | well, it'll be my attempt of ridding the world of the unmentionable ;-) | 06:44 |

| === ajmitch pokes Hobbsee | ||
| === Hobbsee pokes ajmitch | ||
| Chandu | Hobbsee, can you tell me , How do I work with motu-tools ..How to use those scripts | 06:46 |
| === ajmitch wonders if anyone uses motu-tools | ||
| Hobbsee | i've got no idea what motu-tools is | 06:46 |
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: Nobody, AFAIK. | 06:46 |
| minghua | jlmb: before LaserJock updates his fine guide, the best I can find for you is the "old notes" part in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash | 06:47 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, ok | 06:47 |
| === StevenK has used motu-tools, but hasn't for a very long time. | ||
| minghua | jlmb: ignore the export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug nostrip noopt" | 06:47 |
| minghua | jlmb: that's basically how you rebuild a package | 06:47 |
| Hobbsee | where is this motu-tools? | 06:47 |
| === Hobbsee just uses MOM | ||
| StevenK | motu-tools predates MoM. | 06:47 |
| LaserJock | is it in Universe? | 06:47 |
| Chandu | Hey , then in what way ubuntu is syncing and merging debian packages .for ubuntu ... | 06:48 |
| ajmitch | even MoM isn't essential | 06:48 |
| minghua | jlmb: but to rebuild a package from debian is a little trickier than that | 06:48 |
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: It borders on essential. | 06:48 |
| Chandu | In wiki it has given that ..motu-tools can be used to do thsi | 06:48 |
| ajmitch | you can do it all yourself | 06:48 |
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: true, but it's quicker with MOM | 06:48 |
| LaserJock | that's right | 06:48 |
| ajmitch | Fujitsu: I don't find so | 06:48 |
| minghua | jlmb: starting from rebuilding a ubuntu package should be a good practice though | 06:48 |
| LaserJock | I don't really care for MoM | 06:48 |
| LaserJock | it's OK | 06:48 |
| jsgotangco | wah? | 06:49 |
| LaserJock | but I liked our Dapper system better | 06:49 |
| ajmitch | hey jsgotangco | 06:49 |
| Chandu | ajmitch, So , everything is done manually | 06:49 |
| jlmb | minghua: is there a way to set up a test environment so I don't mess with my main system? | 06:49 |
| crimsun | (if we're doing our jobs properly, we end up manually inspecting debdiffs regardless, so it doesn't ultimately matter what is used) | 06:49 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 06:49 |
| minghua | jlmb: sure. it's called a pbuilder. and this time I have better doc for that :-) | 06:49 |
| LaserJock | and I'd rather have a nicely updated list | 06:49 |
| minghua | jlmb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 06:51 |
| Chandu | How do I test that this synced or merged debian package will work fine on my new release for Eg: edgy | 06:51 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: Really? I find MoM easier to deal with. | 06:51 |
| LaserJock | yucky | 06:51 |
| LaserJock | it's not updated very much | 06:51 |
| Chandu | Hey my main doubt is ..does this debian source which are synced or merged need to be rebuilt over my future release or current release .. . | 06:51 |
| minghua | jlmb: but that's just for a test building environment, for testing the installing, you need a chroot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot | 06:51 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: My problem with pre ubuntu-archive syncs, is that elmo was just told on IRC, and there no feedback. | 06:52 |
| jlmb | minghua: ok cool. thanks | 06:52 |
| minghua | jlmb: good luck :-) | 06:52 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: ah well, yeah | 06:52 |
| LaserJock | I'd personally like to combine ubuntu-archive with our Dapper tiber script for merges | 06:52 |
| Chandu | StevenK, can you tell me how to work with MON | 06:53 |
| Chandu | sorry MOM | 06:53 |
| ajmitch | Chandu: you test by building, installing, and... testing | 06:53 |
| ajmitch | which is why it's fun & a lot of manual work | 06:53 |

| ajmitch | Chandu: you've been told about buildd stuff already | 07:04 |

| ajmitch | yes | 07:04 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, No , I from India .. We have been intimated by the Government to build a distro based on Debian .. Fo promote FOSS in our country and specifically for Govt domain .. | 07:05 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, I am working in Installable cd creation and package archive adminsitrator .. | 07:06 |
| Chandu | Hobbsee, So , I am interested in going in Ubuntu's way ..So I want to know .. How do I sync debian packages | 07:06 |
| Hobbsee | with a whole large lot of code | 07:06 |
| ajmitch | & some magic | 07:07 |
| ajmitch | 'syncing' is an ubuntu-specific thing, really | 07:07 |
| ajmitch | since it's just importing source | 07:07 |

| Chandu | Let me know just , How Ubuntu came up with its first release "Warty Warthog" | 07:08 |
| Chandu | In | 07:08 |
| ajmitch | we came, we built, we released | 07:08 |
| Chandu | Warty How ubuntu used debian packages ... Whether there also same procedures were used | 07:08 |
| Chandu | ajmitch, hey thats nice | 07:08 |
| Chandu | ajmitch, I have built a single cd distro ... with some modifications in gnome packges and few others (like image replacement and name .etc) | 07:09 |
| Chandu | ajmitch, I have that small repo .. But How do I maintian this whole large repository as Debian and Ubuntu .. | 07:09 |
| ajmitch | with substantial effort | 07:10 |
| ajmitch | we're stretched thin as it is | 07:10 |

| Chandu | ajmitch, For pbuilder environment for the development release ... the mirror should be the development mirror itself ..which will be containing only the source packages which are synced from debian and packages which are modified by ubuntu and merged into the development archive | 08:14 |

| imbrandon | i think one of the major things that will help upgrade for edgy->feisty will be to pay more attention to 3rd party software, even as much as some of us dont want to , at the very leaste to let them know they are screwing up a large number of systems and the responibility of running a repo | 11:11 |

| imbrandon | people dont realize when you add 3rd party repos how much it can possibly break , not just now but in the future | 11:17 |
| Plug | so how do you stop people using 3rd party stuff, when all you can do is upgrade stuff once every 6 months? | 11:17 |
| ajmitch | and people wonder why we *hate* automatix :) | 11:17 |
| imbrandon | and when it breaks they blam the distro | 11:17 |
| ajmitch | Plug: we can't - people will always install broken stuff | 11:18 |
| ajmitch | we can only try & make things more robust to handle their breakage | 11:18 |
| crimsun | ouch, 'LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 anycommand' fails horribly | 11:18 |
| Plug | well, the options are "make the stuff less broken" | 11:18 |
| Plug | or "kneecap people into accepting 6 month old stuff" | 11:18 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: I think that may have even been intended | 11:18 |
| imbrandon | Plug, we cant but i think we need to have some QA people look at the popular stuff more often and email them the broken stuff | 11:18 |
| imbrandon | or something | 11:18 |
| Plug | maybe there needs to be a "ubuntu-stupid" archive that people can upload things to | 11:18 |
| ajmitch | Plug: ideas are welcome | 11:18 |
| Plug | or a way to subscribe to revu as an apt channel | 11:19 |
| Plug | I don't like downloading a deb, as I often have to download others | 11:19 |
| Plug | but I dont like adding a repository as I'm not sure what I'll get from it | 11:19 |
| imbrandon | as much broken stuff gets put onto revu that would suck | 11:19 |
| ajmitch | we don't want to encourage that much broken stuff - revu doesn't even have automatic building for that reason | 11:19 |
| Plug | best answer I've seen so far is backports.org for woody, which gave you a repository for each backport | 11:19 |
| ajmitch | people upload incredibly crap packages to revu, it's part of learning | 11:19 |
| Plug | so you could 'deb http://backports.org/foo-package/ woody' | 11:20 |
| Plug | and only get the foo-package backport | 11:20 |
| Plug | ajmitch: I've uploaded incredibly crap packages to revu :) | 11:20 |
| ajmitch | yes, would you want people installing them? | 11:20 |
| Plug | but ubuntu offers the freedom for people to add whatever 3rd party repos they like | 11:20 |
| imbrandon | Plug, exactly and we need to tell people how to do things like that, so atleaste if they run a repo they dont break everyone, we cant stop them so might as well educate them | 11:20 |
| Plug | ajmitch: well, if you took everything thats on a 3rd party repo | 11:20 |
| bhale | using whatever 3rd party repos you like should void your warranty | 11:20 |
| Plug | and put them in ubuntu-stupid | 11:20 |
| Plug | then you could get them more QA attention? | 11:20 |
| bhale | it does for me. | 11:21 |
| imbrandon | bhale, sure it does, but you cant explain that to bloggers or /. | 11:21 |
| === phanatic [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Plug | Do you then extend the warranty-voiding to universe? | 11:21 |
| ajmitch | Plug: QA attention is fine if they're willing & able to fix things | 11:21 |
| Plug | everything there is 'best effort' | 11:21 |
| bhale | imbrandon: I can be pretty persuasive if you break my package | 11:21 |
| ajmitch | but we struggle enough to cover universe, let alone everything else people want | 11:21 |
| Plug | (meaning no disrespect to MOTUs, etc) | 11:21 |
| Plug | ajmitch: and universe is a frozen target | 11:21 |
| minghua_ | Plug: you can use sarge in your backports.org example :-) | 11:22 |
| Plug | if $newfeature is introduced in compiz/beryl, I want it today | 11:22 |
| ajmitch | Plug: I see people building firefox 2.0 backports for dapper | 11:22 |
| ajmitch | yet that's a sure way to cause pain | 11:22 |
| Plug | else I could be running gentoo ;) | 11:22 |
| Plug | ajmitch: a sure way to cause pain inherently, or just cos they're bad backports? | 11:22 |
| printk | the most popular 3rd party repos are XGL, compiz, beryl ones no? Maybe get those in our main repos would cut down like 90% of 3rd party repos? :P | 11:22 |
| printk | just an idear | 11:23 |

| Plug | If your hypothetical user wants to run a stable everything, but one newer thing, would you really want them running an unstable version and complaining when everything else in it is broken? | 11:25 |
| Seveas | the only thing in my repo that's suitable for inclusion is mirage, which I'll hand toimbrandon when feisty opens | 11:25 |

| Seveas | hi | 11:26 |
| imbrandon | btw did you get my email ? | 11:26 |
| Seveas | yeah | 11:26 |
| bhale | Seveas: the current argument was updating things from stable, not anyting entirely new | 11:26 |
| imbrandon | kk | 11:26 |
| Plug | Another common argument goes "it is the job of the OS vendor to provide a stable base for 3rd parties to upgrade on", which is what people are used to from the Windows world. | 11:26 |
| Plug | People don't understand why everything that rus on Ubuntu, has to come from Ubuntu. | 11:27 |
| bhale | it doesnt, but so far the majority of other people i have seen are underqualified | 11:27 |
| bhale | and there is no metric to say "seveas rules, this other guy will break your crap" | 11:28 |

| Seveas | apt-get/gdebi/whatever should do that *when installing* third party packages | 11:31 |
| imbrandon | Plug, or if we knew they were bad we could "fix" them or offer workarround, but often it dosent show its face till after release | 11:31 |
| Seveas | not when you're upgrading | 11:31 |
| Plug | None of that deals with "howto on the 'net told me to manually edit /etc/whatever and now a new package doesn't install" errors, either. | 11:31 |
| bhale | that is a cultural problem | 11:32 |
| Fujitsu | Seveas: There's a spec on that, or there was discussion on it, several months ago. | 11:32 |
| bhale | not looking for a technical solution | 11:32 |
| minghua_ | Seveas: it's just not practical for apt-get to do so | 11:32 |
| Plug | Linux has a culture of bleeding edgers. Is the cultural solution to ask them not to run Ubuntu? | 11:33 |
| minghua_ | and there are plenty of guides around teaching people to use dpkg directly | 11:33 |
| bhale | bleeding edgers are free to do whatever they want on a YMMV basis IMO | 11:33 |
| Seveas | bhale, but "pretty things" like beryl make everyone a bleeding edg person | 11:33 |

| imbrandon | zomg, this quote says it all, "And it went horribly wrong. I have an ATI card with the ATI driver installed via easyubuntu. After the upgrade, X just died saying the ati driver failed to start. My wireless wasn't working, either, so I couldn't get on google via lynx to research it.

| Fujitsu | ajmitch: You don't have to do it! Save yourself. | 11:47 |

| Fujitsu | Because UNIX is soooo insecure without SELinux. | 11:48 |

| imbrandon | s/wrong/bad | 11:59 |
| Hobbsee | well, i cant see mark actually including such crackful shit that changes constantly - once he sees the code | 11:59 |

| bhale | cheif technical officer | 12:00 |
| imbrandon | not only that most hardware today dosent run well with cpmiz/beryl | 12:00 |
| Fujitsu | Chief Technical Officer, the position mdz holds at Canonical. | 12:00 |
| Hobbsee | ah | 12:00 |
| imbrandon | not good enough atleaste | 12:00 |
| Hobbsee | anything with a single core seems to have great trouble, yes | 12:01 |
| bhale | SLED does compiz nicely. | 12:01 |
| ajmitch | I was wanting to test it out on my laptop, with its fairly basic i915 | 12:01 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: purserj was complaining in #ubuntu-au that he often has to kill Xorg, and he's running dual-core. | 12:01 |
| imbrandon | processor power mean squat with compiz/beryl, its about the video cards | 12:01 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: yeah well. i was giving them the benifit of the doubt | 12:01 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: Don't bother! | 12:02 |
| DBO | imbrandon, well it does with the nvidia betas right now but thats a bug in the drivers | 12:02 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: well, there must be something vaguely right with it, for it to run at all | 12:02 |
| imbrandon | DBO, even on my intel cards and my ati cards, it "works" but not good enough for day to day use by the masses | 12:03 |
| ajmitch | DBO: well we'd better hope that nvidia deigns to fix their bugs, which only they can do | 12:03 |
| DBO | imbrandon, the core is getting a once over, and the resize plugin (our primary bug farm) is in the middle of a rewrite | 12:03 |
| imbrandon | by all means i think it should be in universe , maybe even main but not default /yet/ | 12:03 |
| DBO | ajmitch, its the beta drivers with the issue, I assume they do =P | 12:04 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: I think it runs on pure evil, it doesn't need anything right if it's evil enough :S | 12:04 |
| Hobbsee | of course, even if it does get in, it'll freeze with a couple of months to release, which means that it'll be very out of date | 12:04 |
| StevenK | It can get a UVFe. | 12:04 |
| Hobbsee | and cant be updated with a UVF, as it's on crack. the point of feature freeze is to stop that. | 12:04 |
| DBO | imbrandon, I dont speak for ubuntu and have no delusion of being able to have any weight on that decision | 12:04 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: It's a Mark-requested feature. Anything can happen. | 12:04 |
| StevenK | Hobbsee: But the other side of the coin is, "It's so broken, it needs to be fixed." | 12:04 |
| ajmitch | Fujitsu: yes, we've seen that with artwork, or the nautilus change a couple of releases ago | 12:05 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: i cant see him throwing an entire releases stability out the window, just for that | 12:05 |
| bhale | you could end up with 2 full time canonical employees hacking it into the ground | 12:05 |
| StevenK | Holy crap, Mark requested beryl-by-default? | 12:05 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: yes! | 12:05 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: YES! | 12:05 |
| Hobbsee | StevenK: that's true. then it's still broken | 12:05 |

| ajmitch | imbrandon: working on it | 12:15 |
| ajmitch | bhale: it should | 12:15 |
| imbrandon | ajmitch, rockin | 12:15 |
| StevenK | Fujitsu: AIGLX, not Xgl. | 12:15 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Throw in some beta NVIDIA drivers, even if you don't have an NVIDIA card. | 12:15 |
| Fujitsu | bhale: Yes, it will. | 12:15 |
| StevenK | Fujitsu: And Flash 9 can bite me. | 12:15 |
| crimsun | bhale: pretty well, actually. | 12:15 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Xgl is less stable than AIGLX, so go for Xgl! | 12:15 |
| StevenK | Fujitsu: Why? If they aren't loaded, they won't get used, so no fun. | 12:15 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: it'll be interesting to see how bad performance is on i915 | 12:16 |

| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: i845 or so? | 12:17 |
| bhale | Fujitsu: I've met David Reeseman twice | 12:17 |
| StevenK | DBO: Video is not the only concern for Hobbsee. Her laptop has heat issues. | 12:17 |

| imbrandon | DBO, thats the thing, untill it can work on relitively /all/ video cards its useless as default | 12:17 |

| StevenK | imbrandon: Geez, I was planning on trying it on my amd64. | 12:18 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, you can also disable wobbly as the stencil buffer is slow too | 12:19 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: I'll have to try it on my amd64 with its fast nvidia card :) | 12:19 |
| StevenK | Heh | 12:19 |
| Hobbsee | DBO: i plan to look on StevenK's faster computer | 12:19 |
| imbrandon | DBO, well with everything diabled whats the point ? | 12:19 |
| ajmitch | the blazing fast geforce 6600 | 12:19 |
| DBO | imbrandon, thats 3 features... | 12:19 |
| Hobbsee | DBO: i'm not willing to run beryl, get it up to 87C or so, and then have it grind like its' about to die on me. | 12:19 |
| tarzeau | how many MOTU people exist? | 12:19 |
| DBO | imbrandon, blur is barely noticable... and burn and beamup are pretty over the top anyhow | 12:19 |
| Fujitsu | tarzeau: 55, I believe. | 12:20 |
| imbrandon | tarzeau, about 60 ( counting core-dev too ) | 12:20 |
| ajmitch | tarzeau: not enough - maybe 10-15 who are actually active | 12:20 |
| DBO | imbrandon, they are off by default for a reason | 12:20 |

| bhale | DBO: yes. | 12:24 |
| Hobbsee | tarzeau: you can upload it to debian, then get it synced across here, if you prefer | 12:24 |
| ajmitch | tarzeau: if you had a package that's new & not in debian, it gets reviewed first (see REVU on the wiki) | 12:24 |
| tarzeau | Hobbsee: how can i do that? i have some stuff in debian that i'd like synced to ubuntu | 12:24 |
| ajmitch | having packages maintained in debian is preferable | 12:25 |

| Hobbsee | ajmitch: unsuitable for gnome then :P | 01:19 |
| StevenK | The decoration appears, disappears, appears, .... | 01:19 |
| apokryphos | that happened once to me, a beryl restart fixed it | 01:20 |
| Fujitsu | Some fantastic comments on that /. story: | 01:23 |
| Fujitsu | `It would have been more respectable if the Ubuntu team had worked on optimizing bash instead of going for a crippled, but faster, shell.' | 01:23 |
| StevenK | HAH! | 01:23 |
| StevenK | Dash implements all of POSIX. | 01:23 |
| Fujitsu | `As a way to get some scripts to execute faster they changed from using bash as the default shell, to dash. dash breaks compatibility all over the place, none of the extensions found in practically every other bourne shell derivative are there. I first found out about this when someone using one of my scripts reported that 'read -s' (for reading passwords without echoing them) and 'trap function SIGINT' both give errors.' | 01:23 |
| StevenK | It isn't our fault every bloody shell script uses bashisms. | 01:24 |
| Fujitsu | Yes, exactly. | 01:24 |
| StevenK | Switching from bash to zsh would have given some of the same headaches. | 01:24 |
| === Fujitsu gets out some LARTing devices. | ||
| StevenK | (For example) | 01:24 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: users don't care | 01:25 |
| Fujitsu | Ah good, somebody sane replied: | 01:25 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee: I think beryl-manager needs about triple the options to be suitable for KDE then | 01:25 |

| StevenK | I have to kill Beryl Manager, otherwise the window decorations blink. | 01:33 |
| DBO | StevenK, yeah thats known and fixed in svn | 01:34 |
| StevenK | DBO: That would have been nice to know first. :-) | 01:34 |
| DBO | StevenK, you can killall emerald to stop it too | 01:34 |
| StevenK | Ah. | 01:34 |
| Fujitsu | ... kill the decoration manager to get decorations? | 01:34 |
| DBO | Fujitsu, two start at the same time and a looping war starts | 01:35 |
| DBO | hence the blinking | 01:35 |
| Fujitsu | How silly. | 01:35 |
| DBO | race conditions are fun | 01:35 |
| ajmitch | nice crack | 01:35 |
| Fujitsu | What lovely reliable racing crack. | 01:35 |
| DBO | Fujitsu, you know I get the idea you've never had a bug in any software you've written huh? | 01:35 |
| Fujitsu | I've never had my software be suggested to be installed by default when it is incredibly buggy, no. | 01:36 |
| ajmitch | yeah, blur on i915 isn't so speedy | 01:36 |
| DBO | ajmitch, yeah AIGLX doesnt handle the pixels shaders so well | 01:36 |
| ajmitch | nor is an i915 a particularly fast chipset | 01:36 |
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: Sure it is. Top of the range. | 01:37 |
| DBO | ajmitch, surprisingly if you ran Xgl (you can) it would work fine... | 01:37 |
| ajmitch | fullscrene gnome-terminal, everything blurred in the background | 01:37 |
| DBO | however you dont want to do that as Xgl is a solution far worse than the problem | 01:37 |

| StevenK | DBO: i810 something. | 01:39 |
| DBO | StevenK, yeah dont turn it on | 01:39 |
| Hobbsee | aah, shiny! | 01:39 |
| ajmitch | DBO: sure it was, but I turned off some animation as well | 01:39 |
| ajmitch | the menu effects especially were over the top | 01:39 |
| DBO | ajmitch, ok =) | 01:39 |
| StevenK | Hobbsee: Heh. | 01:40 |
| DBO | ajmitch, yeah defaults need a once over | 01:40 |
| StevenK | Hobbsee: Flip workspaces. | 01:40 |
| DBO | but people tend to customize to their liking anyhow | 01:40 |

| === StevenK chuckles. | ||
| apokryphos | ajmitch: have you disabled everything? ;-) | 01:41 |
| ajmitch | apokryphos: not quite | 01:42 |
| DBO | ajmitch, if you wanna see something fun for nvidia users with fast cards (yours will be laggy as heck while you try this) | 01:42 |
| DBO | ajmitch, turn on blur effects and then turn on the motion blur, then rotate your cube | 01:42 |
| ajmitch | DBO: 6600 fast enough, or does it need to be 7xxx? | 01:42 |
| DBO | ajmitch, you on a 6600? | 01:42 |
| DBO | thats plenty fast | 01:42 |
| Hobbsee | how does one rotate the cube? just switch desktops? | 01:42 |
| ajmitch | my desktop is, yes | 01:42 |
| apokryphos | ajmitch: nothing should be lagging on that, really. | 01:42 |
| StevenK | Hobbsee: Yes. | 01:42 |
| ajmitch | however I haven't installed beta drivers | 01:42 |
| DBO | beta drivers = win | 01:43 |
| ajmitch | apokryphos: I'm testing on my laptop now | 01:43 |
| DBO | much faster | 01:43 |
| Hobbsee | ah | 01:43 |
| DBO | minus the whole black window issue | 01:43 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, ctrl alt arrow | 01:43 |
| DBO | or rotate the mouse wheel on the desktop | 01:43 |

| StevenK | Why there isn't a desktop on the top or bottom, who knows. :-) | 01:44 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee: ctrl-alt-(mouse drag) | 01:44 |
| StevenK | Ouch! | 01:44 |
| === StevenK just tried that. | ||
| DBO | StevenK, because the top and bottom of the cube are square | 01:45 |

| Hobbsee | bhale: yeah | 01:46 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, have you put your mouse in the corners of your screen yet? | 01:46 |
| Hobbsee | DBO: indeed, but i can feel it lagging | 01:46 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, thats probably a timestep issue | 01:46 |
| Hobbsee | oh, is *that* what that was? | 01:47 |
| DBO | there is some induced lag to keep CPU load down | 01:47 |
| StevenK | DBO: Ah, of course. | 01:47 |
| ajmitch | which is why my cpu is still at 800 MHz | 01:47 |
| StevenK | bhale: I don't get dizzy easily. | 01:47 |
| Hobbsee | ah | 01:47 |
| ajmitch | since it's probably taxing the graphics chipset far more than the CPU in this | 01:47 |

| DBO | just enable the benchmark plugin and winkey f12 | 01:48 |

| === ajmitch still hears of plenty of issues with the beta drivers | ||
| DBO | yep | 01:53 |
| DBO | black windows | 01:53 |
| DBO | misplaced textures | 01:53 |
| DBO | a couple issues with XDamage | 01:53 |
| ajmitch | which is why I don't feel like running them on my desktop | 01:53 |
| DBO | you know, all the fun with beta drivers | 01:54 |
| DBO | they only happen in beryl =P | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | odd things with twinview & refresh rates | 01:54 |
| DBO | oh yeah | 01:54 |
| DBO | that too | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | somewhat important that I have twinview working | 01:54 |
| DBO | pfft, luxary | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | hardly | 01:54 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, so has you view of beryl began to soften a bit? =) | 01:55 |
| Hobbsee | DBO: yes, it's lovely bling, but i'd get sick of using it constantly, nad it's quite slower | 01:55 |
| _MMA_ | And while I completely disagree with all the "crack" terminology I have to agree I dont think Beryl should be a default yet. I like it better than Compiz also. | 01:55 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, the speed issues are being worked on, a new frame limiter needs to be devised... as for constant usage, like any system you need to get used to it | 01:56 |
| Hobbsee | what's the superkey? | 01:56 |
| DBO | windows key | 01:56 |
| StevenK | I wish I could teach Emacs that Windows == Super. | 01:56 |
| apokryphos | as cool as the additional beryl options are, there aren't any I think I'd keep enabled | 01:56 |
| Hobbsee | DBO: well, sure, but id' get bored of it - as in, it's bling. yes, bling is good, but i want speed over bling when i want to do work | 01:56 |
| Hobbsee | ah | 01:56 |
| DBO | apokryphos, thats why you can disable them | 01:56 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, wanna try a quick DBO style speed hack? | 01:57 |
| Hobbsee | nice zoom | 01:57 |
| DBO | (aka dirty and dumb) | 01:57 |
| StevenK | Hrm. How does one zoom? | 01:57 |
| DBO | StevenK, super + scroll | 01:57 |
| Hobbsee | StevenK: win+right click | 01:57 |
| Hobbsee | what the...how can i hit ctrl + windows + move the mouse at the same time????? | 01:58 |
| DBO | you can also input keyboard inputs on zoom if you grab svn (like I said various states of disrepair however) | 01:58 |
| StevenK | My laptop has neither a scroll wheel or a Windows key. | 01:58 |
| StevenK | So nyah. | 01:58 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, probably doesnt work so well on a laptop | 01:58 |
| DBO | works fine on desktops though =P | 01:58 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, in your general options, uncheck detect refresh rate | 01:58 |
| DBO | then go to numberic values | 01:59 |
| DBO | and set the refresh rate to 200 | 01:59 |
| apokryphos | DBO: sure, but that's just the reason, I mean, I'd not use beryl at the moment | 01:59 |
| apokryphos | (I'd use compiz, that is) | 01:59 |
| Hobbsee | hmm. and when i do manage the task, it doesnt work | 01:59 |
| DBO | apokryphos, but you're just one bloke =) | 01:59 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, what are you trying to do? | 02:00 |
| StevenK | Okay, zoom is very cool. | 02:00 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, also if you lower the timestep in the animation plugin to 10 *numberical values, you'll see it* | 02:00 |
| DBO | animations get a lot smoother | 02:00 |
| StevenK | I think my manager would love that. | 02:00 |

| Hobbsee | DBO: awww...that sucks | 02:02 |
| DBO | StevenK, yep sure is =P not exactly sure what causes that | 02:02 |
| TankEnMate | does the i8042 driver not send plug events? | 02:02 |

| Hobbsee | which brilliantly violates fitt's law, i believe | 02:09 |
| DBO | so change the corners of the scale plugin =P | 02:09 |
| StevenK | Or turn off scale | 02:09 |
| DBO | remember, when ubuntu ships beryl, all these defaults can be changed =) | 02:10 |
| imbrandon | and will have to be, thats for sure | 02:10 |
| === imbrandon is back | ||
| === Hobbsee prods the window to unscale-freeze | ||
| DBO | welcome back | 02:11 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, just click on a window | 02:11 |
| Hobbsee | why should i have to? if i move my mouse away, i expect it to go back to the way it was | 02:11 |
| DBO | no its a toggle | 02:11 |
| === Zdra [n=zdra@54.218-242-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| DBO | scaling is a window selector | 02:11 |
| Hobbsee | hmmm | 02:11 |
| DBO | if you select a window thats on a different desktop | 02:11 |
| DBO | it rotates to that window | 02:12 |
| DBO | you can also right click on windows to zoom them in | 02:12 |
| DBO | and middle click them to close them | 02:12 |
| DBO | in later versions you can also input text (no mouse yet) | 02:12 |
| === Hobbsee wonders how anyone finds this out without reading the manual on it | ||
| StevenK | Usually, by coding it. :-P | 02:13 |
| Hobbsee | hah | 02:13 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, people tell them | 02:14 |
| Hobbsee | yhes, but you cant expect a normal user to do that | 02:14 |
| Hobbsee | hmmm okay | 02:14 |
| DBO | same way I went on using GNOME for years without knowing about middle click paste | 02:14 |
| Hobbsee | i must say, i really like the blue version of the gnome wallpaper :P | 02:14 |

| DBO | heres what it boils down to Hobbsee | 02:16 |
| DBO | we think we can do this right | 02:16 |
| DBO | we dont want to hurt Ubuntu | 02:16 |
| Hobbsee | DBO: you know, if *my* computer is being regarded as on the low end, i'd hate to see what the required system specs are | 02:16 |
| DBO | Your computer is meeting them | 02:16 |
| Hobbsee | this is still a 2.4ghz celeron, with 1gb of ram | 02:16 |
| DBO | oh thats overkill | 02:16 |
| DBO | the limiting factor on your computer is the GPU | 02:16 |
| Hobbsee | true | 02:17 |
| DBO | I can run it on a PII 600 with 256 RAM and a GeForce 3 | 02:17 |
| DBO | and if you cant run it | 02:17 |
| DBO | the manager will fall back to Metacity or Kwin | 02:17 |
| Hobbsee | yeah, well. how many people have good graphics cards? | 02:17 |
| Hobbsee | true | 02:17 |
| Hobbsee | it's actually not *quite* as crackful as i thought | 02:17 |
| Hobbsee | i'll admit to that much | 02:17 |
| imbrandon | can run and is useabloe is diffrent, i have a 2.9hgz with 1.5gig ram and a i845 video and its not useable | 02:17 |
| Hobbsee | it doesnt seem to have died while i've had a shell and firefox open | 02:18 |
| DBO | imbrandon, the intel cards need some tweaking still | 02:18 |
| Hobbsee | but that's all i was running | 02:18 |
| DBO | imbrandon, there is a lot of performance to be squeezed out of those yet | 02:18 |
| imbrandon | DBO, and that will happen in the next 2 months ? | 02:18 |
| Hobbsee | hah. my free memory is a little poor though | 02:18 |
| DBO | Hobbsee, yeap it eats texture memory, but it will free it when needed | 02:18 |
| Hobbsee | sarah@LongPointyStickOfDoom:/home/test$ free total used free shared buffers cached | 02:19 |

| luisbg | poningru, building ubuntu packages in a gentoo you mean? | 07:50 |
| poningru | right | 07:50 |
| lloydinho | luisbg: I wouldn't know, try contacting Canonical through the ship-it mail address. | 07:50 |
| azeem | poningru: you can create a Ubuntu chroot on your gentoo system and build stuff there I guess | 07:50 |
| === Lutin__ [n=ubuntu@sd-4736.dedibox.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| poningru | azeem: hmm true | 07:51 |
| luisbg | lloydinho, doing so | 07:51 |
| lloydinho | In any case I don't think you should expect to be able to receive the CDs within two weeks. It usually takes at least 6 weeks for them to arrive - depending on where you are in the world (they all ship from the Netherlands) | 07:51 |
| luisbg | azeem, that's a good idea | 07:51 |
| === Lutin__ is now known as Lutin_ | ||
| luisbg | lloydinho, spain... but well, can use them the next time | 07:51 |
| lloydinho | luisbg: Sure, go for it. If you get registered, I'm sure it will be possible for you to order boxes of CDs another time. | 07:52 |
| luisbg | cool | 07:52 |
| luisbg | will do | 07:52 |
| pcniatic | hello, i have a question about MoM, anyone can help me? | 07:53 |

| ajmitch | morning all | 07:58 |
| imbrandon | moins ajmitch | 07:58 |
| pcniatic | but this review is through REVU? | 07:59 |
| zul | hey ajmitch | 07:59 |
| imbrandon | pcniatic: not really, mosty either find a motu to work with that is arround when you are is the best way imho or email the motu ML with a location where you have uploaded it somewhere, REVU is only for new packages to ubuntu | 08:01 |

| luisbg | did you ever got to use centericq for messaging? | 08:19 |
| luisbg | and irssi for irc | 08:19 |
| === luisbg sees a "I still use irssi" reply | ||

| poningru | so yeah... | 08:37 |
| poningru | I had an idea the other day... | 08:37 |
| poningru | ubuntu on ps3 | 08:37 |
| poningru | sell ubuntu with a keyboard+mouse for ps3 | 08:38 |
| === imbrandon is on irssi right now | ||
| imbrandon | but i've been arround a bit longer than 2002 ( dosent mean I /like/ cli , only convient at times ) | 08:47 |
| luisbg | poningru, how much does a ps3 cost? | 08:47 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: way too much | 08:48 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, 2002 wouth a rough estimate of the real gui boom in linux... gnome/kde started being big | 08:48 |
| === Yagisan_ [n=Yagisan@doomsday/developer/Yagisan] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| luisbg | imbrandon, can you hook up a ps3 to a computer monitor or does it have to be a tv? | 08:48 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: i've used a gui the whole time i've used linux :) | 08:48 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: afaik only a tv, dunno, dont really care | 08:49 |
| imbrandon | its to expensive for what you get | 08:49 |
| poningru | luisbg: what imbrandon siad | 08:50 |
| poningru | luisbg: no you can hook it up to a monitor | 08:50 |

| luisbg | poningru, is the video output dvi? cool | 08:51 |
| imbrandon | and kde started arround 1996 :) | 08:51 |
| poningru | and plus new monitors will have hdmi adapters right no them | 08:51 |
| === Lutin__ is now known as Lutin_ | ||
| luisbg | I'm not much of a videogame guy... so it is too expensive for me too | 08:51 |
| poningru | s/no/on | 08:51 |
| poningru | luisbg: but if you can use it as a computer its actually pretty cheap | 08:51 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, yeah but the first version wheren't that great :P | 08:51 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: werent great != unuseable | 08:52 |
| imbrandon | :) | 08:52 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, true | 08:52 |
| luisbg | but... wrent great = no big reason to make the change | 08:52 |
| luisbg | in the user mind changing takes some force that has to be compensated with a benefit | 08:53 |
| luisbg | that's why ecodesigns don't have success, they still don't have benefit for the user to make the change (plus usually more expensive) | 08:53 |
| imbrandon | not totaly right, if you mean main stream then yes, if you mean those that care about FLOSS then no | 08:54 |
| imbrandon | the pure fact the source is avail is reason enough to switch else none of this would be here now | 08:55 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, I wasn't talking about software | 08:55 |
| luisbg | but in that example | 08:55 |
| luisbg | most offices don't see the open source deal a reason to stop using winsucks and office | 08:56 |
| luisbg | but when you explain them... no hang ups, no reboots, no licenses, etc... they start to change their mind | 08:56 |

| imbrandon | servers were the first to change and rightly so | 08:57 |
| poningru | in the us the linux server marketshare is rapidly increasing | 08:58 |
| imbrandon | thats how most of us "old timers" got into it ( i said most ) | 08:58 |
| poningru | hold on let me get the source | 08:58 |
| luisbg | linux has been "better than the rest" for servers... far before than for desktops | 09:00 |
| luisbg | makes a lot of sense | 09:00 |
| poningru | guess it wasnt in the us | 09:03 |
| poningru | http://www.sda-asia.com/sda/features/psecom,id,706,nodeid,1,_language,Singapore.html | 09:03 |
| luisbg | I don't understand how corporations don't make a "flavor" of linux for them and install it in all worker machines | 09:04 |
| luisbg | would be far more cheaper than paying closed software licenses | 09:05 |
| poningru | exactly | 09:05 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: most do | 09:05 |
| === Kyral [n=kyral@ubuntu/member/kyral] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| poningru | and then use some sort of ltsp to use leftover desktop cycles to power their servers | 09:05 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: ever heard of goobuntu ? ibm also does as with coutless others | 09:05 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, really? so why the workers aren't using the same OS at home? | 09:05 |
| poningru | imbrandon: but those are very large corps | 09:05 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: why would they ? | 09:05 |
| luisbg | ibm is a different case... with their pro linux adds =) | 09:06 |
| poningru | I am speaking about a bit smaller | 09:06 |
| luisbg | because they get to like the system they use at work | 09:06 |
| imbrandon | if they are smaller they dont have the hundreds of people it takes to keep a distro uptodate, they benifet from someone else doing the work and they just customize what they need | 09:06 |
| imbrandon | why would my company of 50 emplyees pay 100+ people to kep a linux distro updated and working ? | 09:07 |
| imbrandon | i wouldent i would use ubuntu or suse or redhat etc | 09:07 |
| imbrandon | and only customize what i need | 09:07 |
| poningru | imbrandon: thats too small | 09:07 |
| poningru | I am speaking more along the lines of couple of thousand | 09:08 |
| poningru | like banks | 09:08 |
| imbrandon | poningru: just how many do you think work for ibm in the it dept ? its definately not more than a few thousand | 09:08 |
| luisbg | anyway... get them a edgy with the software they need to work and only give them access to a user account | 09:09 |
| imbrandon | poningru: ok what advantage does a bank have to pay 100+ people to get a distro working and upto date full time, instead of useing debian or ubuntu and paying 3 or 4 to keep it customized ? | 09:09 |

| === imbrandon is really afk now | ||
| poningru | well dont know about their atms | 09:15 |
| luisbg | atms run windows | 09:16 |
| poningru | but I know the wachovia and boa terminals inside their banks used for online banking all use windows | 09:16 |
| luisbg | yes... I don't understand it either | 09:16 |
| poningru | they do??? | 09:16 |
| poningru | naah that cant be right | 09:16 |
| luisbg | never heard the stories of atms sudden reboots | 09:16 |
| luisbg | and crashes | 09:16 |
| luisbg | that make the windows teletubbie field appear? | 09:16 |
| luisbg | anybody knows of a pda that can run linux that has wifi? | 09:18 |
| poningru | nope | 09:18 |
| poningru | err nope @ your earlier comments | 09:18 |
| luisbg | poningru, a few years ago there was a story about it in slashdot | 09:19 |
| luisbg | in a collegue at the us | 09:19 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: not boa, they run OS/2 i contract with them quite often ( both terms and atm's ) | 09:19 |
| luisbg | some geeks so this reboot and decided to use the machine to play music at the windows media and make a party around it | 09:19 |
| poningru | luisbg: the nokia internet tablet | 09:20 |

| luisbg | poningru, does it come with linux from factory or you have to install a linux pda distro? | 09:23 |
| luisbg | when ubuntu flavor for pda's? ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, pubuntu? | 09:23 |
| poningru | luisbg: it has linux preinstalled | 09:24 |

| imbrandon | poningru: why the ps3 has a full cell processor and perfs | 09:25 |
| luisbg | I just fell in love | 09:25 |
| imbrandon | its a expensive paperweight | 09:25 |
| poningru | ? | 09:25 |
| imbrandon | you want to mod something good get an xbox classic | 09:26 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, talking about the ps3 or nokia internet tablet? | 09:27 |
| imbrandon | ps3 | 09:27 |
| poningru | imbrandon: I know been there done that | 09:27 |
| poningru | but if we can release a build for ps3... that would be so cool | 09:28 |
| poningru | because then we can turn on the aiglx and other stuff | 09:28 |
| luisbg | poningru, I don't think so | 09:29 |
| poningru | no? | 09:29 |
| luisbg | ps3 has an ati right? | 09:29 |
| poningru | nvidia | 09:29 |
| luisbg | well is nvidia going to let you share copies of their linux driver? | 09:29 |
| poningru | supposedly ps3 will have it already installed | 09:29 |
| imbrandon | it wouldent matter as its a cell processor and those are close source drivers so they wont work on anyting but x86 | 09:29 |

| LaserJock | :( | 11:38 |
| ajmitch | hi LaserJock | 11:40 |
| LaserJock | hi ajmitch | 11:40 |
| LaserJock | I was just reading some "Developers don't care about users cause I can't dist-upgrade" stuff | 11:41 |
| crimsun | well that's obviously true | 11:41 |
| ajmitch | of course we hate users | 11:41 |
| joejaxx | yes you should all be ashamed of yourselves :( | 11:41 |
| ajmitch | it's what we do all day | 11:41 |
| KriS83 | Hi :) | 11:41 |
| joejaxx | </sarcasm> | 11:41 |
| crimsun | I wonder how I can make users' lives miserable!! | 11:42 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: i know we can think of something | 11:42 |
| crimsun | lj: people who say such things tend to forget that developers are users, too | 11:42 |
| LaserJock | well, I can imagine finding it on the forums, but I didn't expect it on planet | 11:44 |
| LaserJock | I guess I'm going to have my post-release blues after all | 11:44 |
| LaserJock | and then get back in the game | 11:44 |
| ajmitch | heh | 11:44 |
| ajmitch | I know how it is | 11:44 |
| LaserJock | I just wish for once a release was a happy thing | 11:44 |
| Lutin_ | is there a way to lower an epoch version (eg. if I increased the epoch when I shouldn't, and I want to change it back) | 11:44 |
| crimsun | oh believe me, a release is always a happy thing. | 11:45 |
| crimsun | We no longer have to support Hoary! | 11:45 |
| ajmitch | yay | 11:45 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: i have thought of something! | 11:45 |
| ajmitch | Lutin_: if the package has already been uploaded, then no | 11:45 |
| crimsun | joejaxx: removing fluxbox from the archive? ;) | 11:45 |
| ajmitch | you're stuck with an epoch forever | 11:46 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: yay! | 11:46 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: quick someone plug the plug on the cisco router routing replies to the universe server! | 11:46 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: haha yes | 11:46 |
| theCore | crimsun, is there really people still using Hoary? | 11:46 |
| crimsun | oh yes | 11:47 |
| theCore | servers? | 11:47 |
| crimsun | there are people still using Debian Potato, in fact | 11:47 |
| ajmitch | of course | 11:47 |
| Lutin_ | ajmitch: theres really _no_ way to come back ? | 11:47 |
| ajmitch | I still use sarge at home | 11:47 |
| ajmitch | Lutin_: that's why epochs come with a big warning | 11:47 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: :) | 11:47 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: what whould people do with out universe | 11:47 |
| Q-FUNK | OOo can really be a pain in the arse, sometimes... *sigh* | 11:47 |
| crimsun | joejaxx: maybe get a cup of tea, read the paper, yanno, have a life... | 11:48 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: lol :P | 11:48 |
| theCore | I started using Linux on Hoary... *sigh* It feel like a part of me has been removed :P | 11:48 |
| _MMA_ | crimsun: He raked the yard the other day. :) | 11:48 |
| Lutin_ | ajmitch: okay, thanks | 11:50 |

| luisbg | what's wrong LaserJock ? | 11:57 |
| joejaxx | LaserJock: :( | 11:58 |
| LaserJock | luisbg: that slashdot story | 11:58 |
| === theCore rofl! | ||
| imbrandon | deop isnt working, i hate irssi sometimes | 11:58 |
| === poningru hugs LaserJock | ||
| luisbg | LaserJock, don't stress about it, some anti-ubuntu posted the story... but read the comments of it... loads of "hey! I had no problem" and lots of ubuntu love | 11:58 |
| luisbg | plus... it's known (and especially in open source) that the ones with troubles make much more noise than the "all went perfect" | 11:59 |
| === luisbg kick LaserJock "be a MAN" :P | ||
| === LaserJock gets ahold of himself and starts work on feisty ;-) | ||
| === MatthewV [n=MatthewV@202.183.115.14] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| theCore | feisty is open? | 12:01 |
| luisbg | theCore, more or less | 12:02 |
| luisbg | main is | 12:02 |
| imbrandon | less | 12:02 |
| luisbg | but the rest is not | 12:02 |
| poningru | hhe | 12:02 |
| bhale | has anyone upgraded? | 12:02 |
| === bhale school girls | ||
| luisbg | so it's in a opening state, but closed still | 12:02 |
| luisbg | bhale, to feisty? makes no sense | 12:02 |
| LaserJock | hmm, surely I have a production server I can dist-upgrade to feisty | 12:03 |
| imbrandon | bhale: i have one box siting in the corner thats gonna try to ride it out | 12:03 |
| theCore | LaserJock, looking for troubles? | 12:03 |
| imbrandon | but it does nothing currently | 12:03 |
| imbrandon | i think its a p200 :) | 12:03 |
| bhale | nice | 12:04 |
| bhale | luisbg: of course it makes sense, I am core-dev, and have things to do | 12:04 |
| bhale | I usually do start with a debootstrap, though | 12:04 |
| luisbg | bhale, indeed in your case it does | 12:05 |
| luisbg | I thought core-dev's were taking a post-release vacation | 12:05 |
| theCore | how big is the divergence of edgy with debian is, right now? | 12:06 |
| bhale | not all of us work for Canonical | 12:06 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: i've seen 4 core-devs talk in the last 10 minutes :) ( including me ) | 12:06 |
| imbrandon | not all of us are paid ( though it would be cool ) | 12:06 |
| bhale | I disagree | 12:06 |
| zul | some core-devs are around there arent talking though | 12:06 |
| bhale | I like getting to thumb my nose at Mark's silly ideas | 12:07 |
| imbrandon | moins zul | 12:07 |
| LaserJock | theCore: what do you mean? | 12:07 |
| LaserJock | theCore: how many ubuntuX packages are there? | 12:07 |
| zul | hey imbrandon | 12:07 |
| LaserJock | well, Kamion is around enough to reject my too-late-for-edgy upload | 12:07 |
| LaserJock | :-) | 12:07 |
| theCore | LaserJock, no, the number of packages that has a higher version number | 12:08 |
| theCore | LaserJock, that will need to be sync'd | 12:08 |
| imbrandon | theCore: really depends on how you look at it, on a package level , very little, on a installed system level they might as well be diffrent sepcies | 12:08 |
| imbrandon | its all in your view of divergance | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | theCore: higher version in Ubuntu or in Debian? | 12:08 |
| theCore | LaserJock, in Debian | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | oh | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | lots | 12:09 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, I'm still new to the channel so don't know which people are what yet :S | 12:09 |
| imbrandon | theCore: about 2 months worth of debian uploads or so | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | theCore: 3799 right | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | now | 12:09 |
| theCore | ouch | 12:09 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: :) | 12:09 |
| luisbg | imbrandon, so you are a core-dev too? | 12:10 |
| LaserJock | luisbg: don't worry, we don't either ;-) | 12:10 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: yes | 12:10 |
| luisbg | LaserJock, what worry or know who is who? | 12:10 |
| LaserJock | know who is who | 12:10 |
| imbrandon | luisbg: as is crimsun and ajmitch and quite a number of others in here :) | 12:10 |
| === LaserJock toddles of to a corner talking to himself | ||

| LaserJock | it's the post-edgy insanity I tell you! | 12:10 |
| imbrandon | hehehe | 12:10 |
| LaserJock | I'm mad, I'm mad! | 12:11 |
