Thib_hello, it was suggested I ask this non-support question here rather than in #ubuntu12:31
Thib_I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy and no longer have a disk management tool out of the box; in Dapper it used to be System > Administration > Tool. Was that functionality removed from the default Edgy menu?12:32

cgeThib_: If you don't get an answer, you can also ask on the mailing lists, which seem to be the best place to ask nontrivial questions.12:36
lloydinhoThib_: as far as I understand it, the reason that the Disks tool has been removed is because Upstream (ie. GNOME) no longer maintains that function.12:39
=== theCore [n=alex@modemcable128.255-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lloydinhoSo it has been removed from all of GNOME with 2.16 rather than just from Ubuntu.12:39
Thib_lloydinho: oh so it *has* been removed.12:39
Thib_lloydinho: okay that makes perfect sense.12:39
lloydinhoWell, it still sucks to be without a graphical tool for disk management, but I suppose we'll have to manage for now.12:40
Thib_just to clarify, I didn't mean to imply that was good or bad. Just wanted to know.12:40
lloydinho:-)12:40
cgeWe do have gparted in main.12:40
Thib_right, I like a graphical tool too.12:40
=== theCore [n=alex@modemcable128.255-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lloydinhocge: True. But it isn't as easily discoverable for new users.12:40
Thib_but since I'm upgrading several machines from Dapper to Edgy and they all "succeeded" i.e. failed slightly in subtly different ways, I'm just trying to determine what is intended changes and what isn't :-)12:41
cgelloydinho: Yes, it would have to be installed by default.12:41
jordilloydinho: afaik there's something new that replaces it?12:41
=== gasbag [n=gasbag@68-116-196-5.dhcp.oxfr.ma.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Thib_I'm happy with gparted.12:41
lloydinhojordi, not in the standard installation, as far as I can tell.12:42
cgeThib_: As you can see, getting answers to questions like that here is much calmer than in #ubuntu.12:42
lloydinhoBut when you install Gparted it slots right into the System -> Administration menu.12:42
Thib_cge: it is :-) I just didn't realize this place existed.12:43
cgelloydinho: It appears that gparted is installed by default in the LiveCD, but not in the default installation.12:43
Thib_lloydinho: it does? mine didn't, or maybe I need to log out and back in12:43
lloydinhoThib_: probably.12:44
cgeThib_: It does. 12:44
cgeThib_: You could also try killing the panel.12:44
Thib_killing the panel?12:44
Thib_lol I've never thought about doing that :-)12:45
Thib_does it, like, come back to life?12:45
lloydinhoThib_: killall gnome-panel12:45
cgeThib_: gnome-session brings it back to life, yes.12:45
Thib_aha!12:45
Thib_yes, now the icon is there12:45
Thib_brilliant12:45
Thib_well I learned two things today, that's great12:46
Thib_many thanks, cge and lloydinho 12:46
=== theCore [n=alex@modemcable128.255-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lloydinhoOh, and by the way: It's okay to come in here and ask a few questions when there's little developer activity, but generally the core-devs really like to keep the noise down in here, so they'll send you back #ubuntu12:46
lloydinho_to:_ #ubuntu12:46
cgelloydinho: No one answers questions like that #ubuntu, unfortunately.12:47
=== theCore [n=alex@modemcable128.255-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lloydinhoHm. That is unfortunate. Maybe we should get Seveas to teach Ubotu about it. :-)12:47
cgeWe need an #ubuntu-nontrivial channel.12:48
lloydinhojeez, there's almost a thousand users in #ubuntu.12:48
cgelloydinho: And it moves so fast that nontrivial questions become lost.12:49
Thib_lol12:49
Thib_well yeah12:49
lloydinhoYes. Problem would be that everybody will demand Special Attention (TM) and will go straight to the -nontrivial channel.12:49
Thib_it's okay though, I know when I'm asking something out of the ordinary and I don't expect immediate technical answers, especially in a busy channel.12:49
lloydinho(at least that was the last explanation I heard).12:50
cgelloydinho: Yes, that's probably true.12:50
=== theCore [n=alex@modemcable128.255-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cgelloydinho: I'll have to think about ways to have a channel like that without having that problem.12:51
=== jeefers [n=jeefers@oh-76-1-36-130.dyn.embarqhsd.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lloydinhocge: Sounds like a good idea. If you come up with something good, write an email to the sounder mailing list or try to put it in a spec for discussion.12:52
cgelloydinho: I will.12:52
cgeBy the way, does anyone know if the official edgy cds that are being sold are pressed? None of the vendors say anything about the actual cds, and since they all sell burned CDs for nearly everything else, they probably need to mention it.12:54
cgeOtherwise very few people are going to want to buy what appears to be a CD-R with edgy on it.12:55
lloydinhocge: There will be official Ubuntu DVDs that you can buy off amazon and such, I think.12:57
lloydinhocge: there's a list of authorized vendors as well: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu#buycurrent12:58
cgelloydinho: There are places linked from ubuntu.com as selling "Official Ubuntu Edgy CDs", but since those places mainly sell burned CDs of linux distributions, it makes it look like that is what they are selling, even though I think they are selling pressed CDs from Canonical.12:58
lloydinhocge: oh. Well, I guess that would be their own fault, really.12:59
cgelloydinho: Ok, I'll try contacting them about it then.12:59

BHSPitMonkeytfheen, are there even goals set out?08:46
tfheenBHSPitMonkey: specs have been proposed, but not drafted and approved.08:46
BHSPitMonkeya lot of the concept of planning features specifically for OS+1 confuses me... it seems like just intentionally holding back a feature08:47
tfheenBHSPitMonkey: it's only six months until feisty is released.  That's not very much time.08:47
BHSPitMonkeyin order to pretty up a new release08:47
ajmitchit's often needed in order to have time to get it ready 08:47
tfheenso it makes sense to plan which direction we want features to take over longer periods of time than just the next six months.08:48
ajmitchsome of our specs may only be implemented in 12-18 months08:48
BHSPitMonkeyno, it's like... "We need this, and this, and this improved! But as soon as it's been coded, let it sit on the shelf until the +1 release, so the release looks really big!"08:49
tfheenstuff generally don't get implemented and then shelved08:49
ajmitchwhat features do you think were held back?08:49
BHSPitMonkeywhy not have improvements in constant supply, that's just my dilemma 08:49
ajmitchanything that's not ready by feature freeze doesn't go in - there has to be tiem to stabilise a release08:50
BHSPitMonkeyand I'm not trying to argue or dissent or anything, I'm saying I don't really understand how these decisions work08:50
tfheengenerally it comes down to whether we have time to implement stuff properly.08:50
tfheenit's much better to have one well-working feature than three mostly-broken ones08:50

gebruikerI created a init script that changes the name of the ubuntu hostname, when should this be executed? At runlevel rcS?10:30
cjwatsongebruiker: why not just change the file /etc/hostname?10:32
fabbionecjwatson: it depends when it's executed. you also want /proc/sys/kernel/hostname10:32
cjwatson/etc/init.d/hostname.sh already reads /etc/hostname and sets the hostname according to that10:33
cjwatsonthere is no need for another init script10:33
fabbioneoh right. there is that one too10:33
gebruikercjwatson, We are selling ubuntu desktops, one of them contains 3 pc's and a printer, two of them ubuntu and 1 of them windows. We are cloning the hd images. Two computers can't have the same hostname on a lan10:33
cjwatsongebruiker: set /etc/hostname after cloning10:34
cjwatsongebruiker: that cannot possibly be harder than adding an init script10:34
gebruikerI'm able to add a init script, however, I was wondering wheiter it should be added at system level or elsewhere.10:34
cjwatsonthere's no point in adding an init script10:35
cjwatsonif you need to set the hostname dynamically, then either edit /etc/init.d/hostname.sh or use DHCP10:35
cjwatson(there's a "host-name" option in DHCP - it's only honoured if the hostname is not set though)10:35
gebruikerthe script that changes the hostname, invokes  oem-config-prepare. So it has to done correctly.10:36

tepsipakkihow come the source for pine is not included in ubuntu as it is on debian?01:18
thomtepsipakki: because pine users should be burnt at the stake (not the correct answer)01:19

tepsipakkithom: we have maybe 10000 users who use it more or less frequently. I can already smell them :)01:21
popeyfor example that page has Hoary as supported but it's been 18 months since release, so I would expect that to become "Supported: 0"?01:22

iwj`If [condition not going to be met] ' is always easier to say than `no' ...04:59
PSUSIfabbione: it now assumes a boot path starting with /dev/mapper is LVM, and breaks it into vulume group and volume components, and spins for 3 mins waiting for the vg to appear in /dev04:59

Keybukudevsettle holds the scripts until devices that HAVE ALREADY BEEN DETECTED have been configured05:05
_ionfabbione: Ah, ok.05:05
PSUSIok.... well, I'd sugest that the loop print something to let the user know that it is still waiting after day, 10 seconds at most, and again if it times out completely05:05
Keybukthere's obviously no way to wait for devices that have not yet been detected05:05
Keybukbecause if they've not been detected, we don't know to wait for them05:05
PSUSIdoesn't it wait for the bus scan to complete though?  thus we know all devices have been detected?05:06
Keybukmost modern bus scans have no concept of completion05:06
Keybuktake USB, for example; how do you know that an arbitrary topology tree-formed bus has completed a scan?05:06
PSUSIfabbione: hrm.... well can you sugest any way that it could be kept from clashing with dmraid?  Other than just removing lvm from the initramfs?05:07
_ionfabbione: I take it the delay caused by booting with a degraded RAID-1 is a known problem? (Sorry, didn't yet look at launchpad bugs)05:07
PSUSIKeybuk: simple... you have queried all the hubs05:08
PSUSIand all ports on those hubs05:08

=== lukketto [n=lukketto@host238-159-dynamic.6-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel
fabbione_ion: it *CAN* wait only if you have a configured raid and you remove it completely (100%) from the system and that's documented 05:09
PSUSIKeybuk: then you have not scanned all hubs yet, keep scanning05:09
KeybukPSUSI: and how do we know that there's no device on a port?05:09
fabbionePSUSI: no. the problems are devices that are part of the LVM volume and that are not there when lvm script is executed.05:10
PSUSIKeybuk: iirc, usb detectes taht there is a device connected to the port via the characteristic impeadence, so its prescense is known immediately05:10
KeybukPSUSI: not true05:10
fabbionePSUSI: the only way to know that root is on lvm is when root=/dev/mapper.. 05:10
Keybuka long cable with nothing on it would be detected as a connected device by that means05:10
fabbionePSUSI: and we know that the VG is active once there is the directory in /dev05:11
Keybukwhich would cause the boot to hang while we waited for the device on the other end to announce itself05:11
PSUSIfabbione: right, but what creates those devices?  I thought that the scripts ran commands that scanned actual disk devices, and then created the dm devices on top?05:11
PSUSIfabbione: so the scripts should depend on the real underlying hardware, not the vg device no?05:11
fabbionePSUSI: vgchange...05:11
PSUSIKeybuk: which is why there is a maximum cable length05:12
fabbionePSUSI: not really.. you can't add these information in the initramfs. LVM is way too flexible for that05:12
fabbionePSUSI: LVM scans the disks for LVM UUIDS to see if all devices to activate a certain VG are there.. regardless of their name (sda sdb..)05:12
fabbionePSUSI: so a device might appear always with a different name05:12
PSUSIfabbione: the vg does not appear until you run vgchange though right?05:12
fabbioneand LVM will still work05:13
fabbioneyes right05:13
fabbionebut you don't know what devices are part of the vg05:13
PSUSIfabbione: is this done by udev callouts or by an vgchange like command?05:13
fabbionevgchange calls05:13
fabbione(it's the only way)05:13
PSUSIcalled from where?  udev, or the script?05:14
PSUSIif it is from the script, then the devices should appear synchronously no?05:14
fabbioneor you need a much more complex algo that will still invoke the lvm binary05:14
fabbionescript05:14
fabbioneudev doesn't do anything for us yet05:14
fabbione(it will in feisty.. HI SCOTT!)05:14
PSUSIoh wait, ok, I see now... the script just keeps calling the binary to search all known devices for a vg05:14
PSUSIand it either finds them all and makes the vg or not05:14
fabbionefor THE vg05:14
PSUSIif not, the script delasy 0.1 seconds, and tries again05:15
fabbioneexactly05:15
fabbione0.5 but yes05:15
Keybukfabbione: maybe05:15
fabbionevgchange is expensive05:15
fabbioneKeybuk: just kidding :)05:15
Keybukfabbione: we will either use udev callouts for LVM/EVMS/etc.05:15
