| AstralJava | Fujitsu: Yes, this is understood. Like is said in the bug report description, we would love to see these in Feisty's universe already, but can live without (of course) if it doesn't happen. A lot of obstacles were had to overcome to make these happen, and the schedule just wasn't easier than what happened as of now. :) | 12:17 |

| Fujitsu | That's good, then. | 12:25 |

| LaserJock | I *think* these are the last packages they need in order to do it | 12:25 |
| ajmitch | Fujitsu: it's branding for a fairly active derivative | 12:25 |
| crimsun | I need a big whiteboard and some dry erase markers. | 12:25 |
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: Noted. | 12:26 |
| LaserJock | just make sure to get a good one | 12:26 |
| Fujitsu | crimsun: Why? | 12:26 |
| LaserJock | mine in the lab get's so dried on we have to use some solvents to get the stuff off | 12:26 |
| crimsun | Fujitsu: one use case here doesn't know what in the world he wants for audio in Ubuntu | 12:27 |
| crimsun | I need to somehow find time to write a point-n'-click iface | 12:28 |
| LaserJock | my labmate has a paper sized whiteboard and pen sized markers | 12:28 |
| LaserJock | she uses it for almost everything | 12:28 |
| Fujitsu | crimsun: What does this clicky interface need to do? | 12:29 |
| crimsun | basically point people to whether pulseaudio should be used, and if so, how it should be configured | 12:32 |
| AstralJava | I'm off to sleep now. Thanks anyone if you find time to look at the bugs, and thanks again LaserJock for checking them up on REVU!! :) G'night all! | 12:33 |
| crimsun | someone punch me in the head | 12:33 |
| ajmitch | we'd rather not | 12:34 |
| _MMA_ | Im hanging around answer anything. | 12:34 |
| crimsun | apparently, every single time, I keep forgetting how difficult configuring audio can be | 12:34 |
| LaserJock | what's difficult about it, it should "Just Work" ;-) | 12:37 |
| crimsun | it does "just work" for me | 12:37 |
| crimsun | on the other hand, people keep inventing new ways to break things | 12:37 |
| Fujitsu | Heheh. | 12:37 |
| crimsun | "here's a wrench, don't go smack yourself in the face" | 12:38 |
| Fujitsu | Fantastic. | 12:38 |
| LaserJock | yes, people seem equally, if not more so, able to break things than fix them | 12:38 |
| crimsun | now don't get me wrong - I love breaking things. It's just recovering from /other/ people breaking things... | 12:38 |

| joejaxx | i know some of them are partial mirrors | 12:41 |
| LaserJock | for Ubuntu? | 12:44 |
| joejaxx | yes | 12:44 |
| LaserJock | I think the launchpad lists should work | 12:45 |

| bddebian | Hmm, Beavis and Butthead don't translate well in text | 12:46 |
| joejaxx | hopefully they all have the same directory structure | 12:47 |
| joejaxx | otherwise this is going to be a pain to script | 12:47 |
| LaserJock | bddebian: that's so 90's ;-) | 12:48 |
| crimsun | everything under the root has the same directory structure | 12:48 |
| crimsun | otherwise it wouldn't be called a "mirror"... | 12:48 |
| Fujitsu | There are only about three mirrors that carry the dailies. | 12:48 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: ok i just wanted to make sure | 12:48 |
| DktrKranz | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transcriber/1.5.1-2ubuntu1 | 12:48 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: that is alright | 12:48 |
| DktrKranz | is it normal having a transcriber_1.5.1-2ubuntu1.tar.gz tarball? | 12:49 |
| joejaxx | this will only be for standard releases | 12:49 |
| crimsun | joejaxx: note that mirrors are free to place the root wherever they wish | 12:49 |
| Fujitsu | Ah. | 12:49 |
| ajmitch | DktrKranz: only if it was uploaded badly | 12:49 |
| joejaxx | and maybe Herds | 12:49 |
| joejaxx | crimsun: ah ok | 12:49 |
| joejaxx | thanks that makes this a little easier | 12:49 |
| DktrKranz | ajmitch, I'm going to submit a merge request for it | 12:49 |
| DktrKranz | do I need to note it? | 12:49 |
| ajmitch | DktrKranz: ok, why? | 12:49 |

| ajmitch | sharms: it was on planet, blame Burgundavia | 12:58 |

| crimsun | actually, let 'em play CS. Just get 'em into universe work, too! :-) | 12:59 |
| sharms | I found it very interesting that one of the barriers to get involved was that a lot of people have never used irc | 12:59 |

| ajmitch | and teaching them how to do stuff? | 01:00 |
| crimsun | I'm still waiting for the Jurassic Park interface to Ubuntu universe | 01:00 |
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: We can have 3 packages each! | 01:00 |
| sharms | and nobody bothers to explain IRC since to us, it is just assumed | 01:00 |
| Fujitsu | Um, good point. | 01:00 |

| joejaxx | well | 01:12 |
| joejaxx | it is not like the country is listed for everyone | 01:13 |
| joejaxx | every one* | 01:13 |
| Fujitsu | True. | 01:13 |
| joejaxx | it is country, list of mirrors etc | 01:13 |
| joejaxx | i mean i could probably have some sort of check | 01:14 |
| Fujitsu | It'd be great if LP provided a machine-readable list. | 01:14 |
| joejaxx | based on the <strong> tag | 01:14 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: yeah like +raw | 01:14 |
| joejaxx | <strong>Australia</strong> | 01:14 |
| joejaxx | the countries are like that | 01:14 |

| nrg88 | will there be an ubuntu dvd release with the major DEs on it? | 01:29 |
| nrg88 | :) | 01:29 |
| LaserJock | I think there is always a DVD release with Main on it | 01:29 |
| LaserJock | or hmm, maybe I'm wrong | 01:29 |
| nrg88 | i don't think the whole gnome is on the kubuntu dvd for example | 01:30 |
| nrg88 | i was thinking of a dvd like suse's | 01:30 |
| LaserJock | I didn't think there were seperate DVDs | 01:32 |
| nrg88 | well, if you insert a dvd, you can't quite select the respective DE | 01:32 |
| LaserJock | no, but it doesn't really matter does it? | 01:32 |
| LaserJock | at least for me it doesn't | 01:32 |
| nrg88 | who knows, maybe we should have a survey | 01:33 |
| nrg88 | it doesn't matter much for me though, i use Kubuntu, but then again, who knows... :) maybe a lot of people need it | 01:33 |
| LaserJock | it's a known wish :-) | 01:34 |
| nrg88 | it is? | 01:34 |
| nrg88 | it's on launchpad? | 01:34 |
| LaserJock | it's just a matter of getting people motivated to write the code and maintain it | 01:34 |
| LaserJock | I think so, probably in some spec from a year ago :-) | 01:34 |
| nrg88 | ok then | 01:34 |
| nrg88 | LaserJock: do you use Gnome? | 01:35 |
| nrg88 | (and NO, i don't want to start a flamewar ;) ) | 01:35 |
| LaserJock | nrg88: I use a bit of evreything :-) | 01:36 |

| nrg88 | today i booted into Ubuntu live cd, trying to reproduce a java instalation bug, and what i observed was that Gnome in Ubuntu was way more polished than KDE :| | 01:37 |
| LaserJock | I've even been know to run openbox and fvwm a fair amount | 01:38 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: for better or worse, GNOME is the primary desktop of Ubuntu | 01:38 |
| nrg88 | i see | 01:38 |
| LaserJock | well, I don't know that Kubuntu's KDE is much less polished than other distro's KDE's | 01:38 |
| LaserJock | I just find KDE to be less polished, in looks, etc. | 01:39 |
| LaserJock | and of course many people will disagree with me | 01:39 |

| nrg88 | that's why i fell in love with kubuntu, it worked | 01:44 |
| nrg88 | it didn't die on me | 01:44 |
| Burgundavia | RH has at least 2 artists on staff | 01:44 |
| LaserJock | I thought it looked great, then I tried to do anything with it | 01:44 |
| nrg88 | and when it died, after some time, i could fix it | 01:44 |
| LaserJock | opensuse was the closest to looking *and* working great | 01:44 |

| Burgundavia | probably | 01:46 |
| nrg88 | kompozer | 01:46 |
| nrg88 | it's a bugfix release for NVu | 01:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Burgundavia: what he said | 01:46 |
| nrg88 | and a few plugins i think, i helped in the Hungarian documentation :) | 01:46 |

| Burgundavia | all of teh Novell stuff strikes me as stuffing too much into a single interface | 01:50 |
| Burgundavia | plus it integrates with exactly nothing fromt he existing desktop, such as the deskbar | 01:51 |

| jdong | which is now a feature. | 01:56 |
| jdong | :) | 01:56 |
| Burgundavia | surprise, that makes it easy to plan | 01:56 |
| Burgundavia | if I was going to deploy a corporate desktop, boring and predictable are selling features | 01:56 |
| Burgundavia | the other reason I love Ubuntu | 01:57 |
| Burgundavia | it is terribly boring to have defined support dates, but it sure does make my life easier as a sysadmin | 01:57 |
| LaserJock | sure, but it's hard to get all the hordes excited about blah releases :-) | 01:57 |

| Fujitsu | Ew, why have my GDM cursors been eaten by KDE? | 01:58 |
| Burgundavia | you can have bling within defined dates | 01:58 |
| sharms | LaserJock: on the MOTU interviews you should have them post a desktop screenshot. People love that | 01:58 |
| RAOF | Becasue openoffice-style-crystal has pulled in a bunch of KDE packages. | 01:58 |
| LaserJock | sure, but if you have boring releases it's tough to get the average user excited, I guess | 01:59 |
| LaserJock | sharms: I know, I know. I just takes time and bandwidth | 01:59 |
| LaserJock | I'll probably do it in the future | 01:59 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: boring schedule != boring releases | 01:59 |
| Fujitsu | RAOF: Noted, but why does that automatically eat my cursors? | 01:59 |
| sharms | ok I am off to cincinatti, oh for the next week | 02:00 |
| RAOF | Fujitsu: On that, you have me, sir. No idea. :P) | 02:00 |
| sharms | take care | 02:00 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: yes, but one of the complaints I've seen often about Gnome is boring releases | 02:00 |
| LaserJock | not boring schdule | 02:00 |
| LaserJock | cya sharms | 02:00 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: a lot of that is due to lack of people and lack of direction | 02:00 |
| LaserJock | sure | 02:00 |
| Burgundavia | blaming it on a fixed release schedule isn't really true | 02:01 |
| LaserJock | but I guess KDE has gone out and hyped up KDE4, so maybe they'll get more people and direction to pull it off, at least reasonably | 02:01 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: I never said that | 02:01 |
| nrg88 | ubuntu for example is trying to do exciting releases in with borind schedules | 02:01 |
| LaserJock | I was talking about releases not schedules | 02:02 |

| nrg88 | decibel, solid, phonon... | 02:02 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: tell me what those really are | 02:03 |
| RAOF | Yay, *another* sound framework :( | 02:03 |
| Burgundavia | indeed | 02:03 |
| Burgundavia | decible is nothing more than a wrapping for telepathy | 02:04 |
| Burgundavia | solid is HAL and phonon is gstreamer and xine, basically | 02:04 |
| nrg88 | not exactly | 02:04 |
| === Fujitsu reinvents the wheel. | ||
| nrg88 | phonon can use gstreamer, or xine | 02:04 |
| Burgundavia | <mjg59> KDE ABSTRACTED MY ABSTRACTION LAYER | 02:04 |
| nrg88 | but application will not need to write plugins for separate backends | 02:04 |
| nrg88 | they will only use the Phonon api | 02:05 |
| RAOF | Which could, of course, also be achived by just using gstreamer :P | 02:05 |
| Burgundavia | except if they need to do something more | 02:05 |
| nrg88 | and phonon does the job with any of the backends that are selected system wide | 02:05 |
| Burgundavia | except all the major distributions have chosen gstreamer | 02:05 |
| jdong | nrg88: are you denying that's double-abstraction? | 02:05 |
| crimsun | yes, make my life hellish! Please $deity! I LOVE duplication of audio backends because I CAN'T GET ENOUGH! | 02:06 |
| nrg88 | jdong: i don't know what is it exaclty :D | 02:06 |
| jdong | nrg88: well it's abstracting an abstraction :) | 02:06 |
| jdong | nrg88: with a very convincing sounding PR. | 02:06 |
| nrg88 | crimsun: they don't duplicate any of the backends | 02:06 |
| nrg88 | they just made a common api to use them | 02:06 |
| jdong | nrg88: sure they do. they made a new "backend" | 02:06 |
| jdong | nrg88: so crimsun will now get decibel bugs | 02:06 |
| RAOF | I don't see the point of having plugabble, pluggable backends. | 02:06 |
| jdong | err phonon | 02:06 |
| crimsun | but it's SHINY | 02:06 |
| jdong | RAOF: I suppose that means you aren't a card-carrying member of the reiser4 fanclub? :D | 02:07 |
| crimsun | now I'm all for abstraction, being a CS guy, but man... | 02:07 |
| RAOF | jdong: From what I saw, reiser4 has some cool ideas (particualrly metadata as filesystem), but I don't know enough details | 02:07 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: basically, all the backends already exist adn all these efforts are pretty much giant duplications | 02:08 |
| jdong | RAOF: yeah I like a lot of aspects in the design and a lot of reiser's visions on filesystems.... | 02:08 |
| jdong | RAOF: I just wish it could've been done in a cooperative way :-/ | 02:08 |
| Fujitsu | You mean, we don't need a Hardware Abstraction Layer Abstraction Layer? I'm disappointed. | 02:08 |
| nrg88 | Burgundavia: if you write a music app, you have to use A backend | 02:09 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: halal... now we just need a K somewhere and.... | 02:09 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: Said backends already exist. | 02:09 |
| nrg88 | now what happens if that backend isn't there in a distro? | 02:09 |
| jdong | nrg88: backend already exists. | 02:09 |
| nrg88 | you write a plugin to another backend | 02:09 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: because every major distro ships xine and gstreamer | 02:09 |
| crimsun | nrg88: err, that's an intractable problem | 02:09 |
| jdong | nrg88: why not standardize on an existing backend? | 02:09 |
| RAOF | Then the distro packages it. | 02:09 |
| jdong | nrg88: a backend to a backend doesn't solve that problem. | 02:09 |
| crimsun | what if my system doesn't have a sound device? | 02:09 |
| nrg88 | jdong: i don't know | 02:09 |
| RAOF | (An existing, *pluggable* backend) | 02:09 |
| nrg88 | it should be done this way | 02:09 |
| nrg88 | one should be standardized | 02:09 |
| jdong | nrg88: gstreamer, buddy. | 02:10 |
| Burgundavia | oh, and windows and mac os support are rabbit holes | 02:10 |
| crimsun | sure, I can /hope/ that the OS provides a dummy sink | 02:10 |
| nrg88 | but what happens with the other? | 02:10 |
| crimsun | but what if it doesn't? | 02:10 |
| jdong | crimsun: and it BETTER be audible! :D | 02:10 |
| nrg88 | if KDE would have been standardized, what would you do? | 02:10 |
| nrg88 | would you be happy? | 02:10 |
| jdong | nrg88: if ARTS was standardized, then sure. | 02:10 |
| jdong | nrg88: I would be content with using it. | 02:10 |
| jdong | nrg88: but it's not. | 02:10 |
| nrg88 | arts is dead ;) | 02:10 |
| jdong | nrg88: so KDE decides to write yet another set of backends. | 02:10 |
| RAOF | If everyone used a single, pluggable media backend as good as gstreamer? Totally yes! | 02:10 |
| jdong | nrg88: that is just duplication and complexity... | 02:11 |
| nrg88 | phonon is to backends like freedesktop.org to DEs | 02:11 |
| Burgundavia | not really | 02:11 |
| crimsun | so everyone programs to phonon? Great! | 02:11 |
| crimsun | ...except not everyone will program to phonon. | 02:11 |
| jdong | nrg88: umm... what? | 02:11 |
| crimsun | Back to square one. | 02:11 |
| nrg88 | no, kde apps will use phonon | 02:12 |
| nrg88 | most of them | 02:12 |
| bddebian | Oohh am I missing another pissing match? :-) | 02:12 |
| jdong | crimsun: but I wrote a backend that can use phonon or any of 5 other media frameworks.... | 02:12 |
| jdong | crimsun: so everyone should use that too... | 02:12 |
| crimsun | jdong: great! Backport it to Warty! | 02:12 |
| jdong | :) | 02:12 |
| jdong | nrg88: dude, read some of the things you're typing ;-) | 02:12 |
| jdong | :D | 02:12 |
| nrg88 | for example? | 02:12 |
| nrg88 | :D | 02:12 |
| jdong | <nrg88> no, kde apps will use phonon | 02:13 |
| jdong | most of them | 02:13 |
| crimsun | nrg88: err, so it's strictly for kde4 apps? Why only kde4 apps? | 02:13 |
| jdong | and that's to be compared to fd.o how? | 02:13 |
| nrg88 | crimsun: i suppose any app can use phonon | 02:13 |
| crimsun | nrg88: right, so it'll become another backend | 02:13 |
| nrg88 | but for now i know that kde 4 apps are written to use phonon | 02:13 |
| LaserJock | and another tex bug bites the dust | 02:13 |
| jdong | nrg88: that sounds like yet another backend to me.... | 02:13 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: I don't see GNOME using phonon | 02:13 |
| nrg88 | if you say phonon is another backend, is like saying freedesktop.org is another de | 02:14 |
| jdong | nrg88: umm... that makes no sense. | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: ok, lets look at the situation | 02:14 |
| nrg88 | Burgundavia: because phonon is made by kde developers | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | with kde4, you have app --> phonon --> gsreamer|xine | 02:14 |
| crimsun | bddebian: yes, bring the zomgponies | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | with GNOME, you have app --> gstreamer | 02:14 |
| jdong | nrg88: that sounds like a MS pitch for OpenXML.... | 02:15 |
| Burgundavia | which is harder to debug? | 02:15 |
| === DktrKranz [n=Luca@ubuntu/member/dktrkranz] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Sto] | ||
| nrg88 | i don't know, i don't use gstreamer | 02:15 |

| nrg88 | sometimes i have trouble, so i have to use vlc or mplayer | 02:15 |
| nrg88 | i need different players for that | 02:15 |
| crimsun | and xine can use, what, oss? esd? sdl? pulse? alsa? | 02:15 |
| nrg88 | "Phonon will be the new multimedia framework for KDE4. Phonon will provide an easy way for KDE developers to use various backends, such as Xine, GStreamer and NMM." | 02:16 |
| === RAOF just wishes all those players could fix gstreamer! | ||
| jdong | phonon should use xine with a phonon output backend..... | 02:16 |
| nrg88 | phonon is intended to use a lot of them | 02:16 |
| Burgundavia | jdong: pipe that through gstreamer and then nmm and through pulse audio for extra giggles | 02:16 |
| LaserJock | hmm, not to sidetrack the discussion, but isn't KDE4 a lot more than sound "stuff"? | 02:16 |
| nrg88 | if it would use just xine, why would the kde developers write it? | 02:16 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: no, it's only sound. And ponies. | 02:16 |
| Fujitsu | LaserJock: But it is a lot of reinventing the wheel. | 02:17 |
| nrg88 | :D | 02:17 |
| Fujitsu | ANd ponies. | 02:17 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: yes, it includes other crackish frameworks too | 02:17 |
| Fujitsu | Hm, The Golden Ponies must be coming soon! | 02:17 |
| Burgundavia | like solid, which promoted the mjg59 quote | 02:17 |
| Fujitsu | So they are seriously sticking another layer on top of HAL? | 02:17 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 02:17 |
| jdong | yeah :( | 02:17 |
| crimsun | now don't get me wrong, I dool drool in anticipation of KDE4, and I'm sure the KDE4 devs have their reasons for Phonon. I just quail at triaging its bugs, too. | 02:17 |
| nrg88 | Burgundavia: it doesn't include them, it can only use them | 02:17 |
| crimsun | dool drool. Nice. | 02:17 |
| crimsun | do drool, even | 02:17 |
| jdong | crimsun: haha see what mentioning KDE4 is doing to you? :D | 02:18 |
| bddebian | quail? | 02:18 |
| RAOF | Yeah, nice little birds. Very tasty. | 02:18 |
| jdong | crimsun: though I don't think that sentence nearly matches what I said to Kees that one day..... | 02:18 |
| jdong | :D | 02:18 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: that's a bit harsh. Kalzium's KDE4 port is really rocking | 02:18 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: yes, the app stuff looks very cool | 02:19 |
| Burgundavia | it is this underlyuing reinvention of the wheel that scares me | 02:19 |
| crimsun | bddebian: verb form. | 02:19 |
| crimsun | "to lose heart or courage in difficulty or danger; shrink with fear" | 02:19 |
| jdong | RAOF: no I think he's refering to the vice president^^ | 02:20 |
| nrg88 | Burgundavia: so you suggest standardizing gstreamer for gnome, and xine for kde? | 02:20 |
| jdong | haha, actually that description matches quite well | 02:20 |
| Burgundavia | nrg88: no | 02:22 |
| nrg88 | that means an application would have to maintain a lot of plugins (one for xine, one for gstreamer, etc...) | 02:23 |
| jdong | nrg88: how about everyone use gstreamer? | 02:24 |
| jdong | ;-) | 02:24 |
| marcin_ant | hi guys | 02:24 |
| crimsun | to each his own. Just don't make your own my own. :-D | 02:24 |

| nrg88 | does it sound good? | 02:24 |
| nrg88 | no it doesn't | 02:24 |
| nrg88 | :| | 02:24 |
| jdong | nrg88: why can't KDE use gstreamer again? | 02:24 |
| RAOF | Because it's got a "G" in it | 02:25 |
| jdong | nrg88: gstreamer is not a GNOME stack... | 02:25 |
| jdong | nrg88: the g in the name is totally unrelated | 02:25 |
| marcin_ant | I'm working on some package with webapp and got a problem with lintian and php files | 02:25 |

| marcin_ant | could someone tell me how should I install php files in package without executable flag? | 02:25 |
| nrg88 | RAOF: lol :D | 02:25 |
| marcin_ant | (they are set as executable in orig sources) | 02:26 |
| nrg88 | jdong: and tell this to the other backend's developers | 02:26 |

| nrg88 | why not gstreamer? | 02:37 |

| RAOF | Because gstreamer and pulseaudio try to do different things. | 02:42 |
| RAOF | & ESD, too. | 02:43 |
| nrg88 | that means if a distro wants many multimedia apps to work on it, it has to include a lot of them | 02:44 |
| crimsun | welcome to $most_distros | 02:45 |
| bddebian | heh | 02:45 |
| LaserJock | minghua | crimsun: so was I wrong to reject that bug? | 02:45 |
| nrg88 | and that means if a multimedia app wants to work on a lot of distros, it has to have a lot of plugins written, and maintained | 02:45 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: sorry, will read now | 02:45 |
| RAOF | nrg88: No, not really. They can just have gstreamer, and be done with it :) | 02:45 |
| nrg88 | but why doing all these stuff, when you can write a multimedia app using simple as pie code ( take a look at the example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon_(KDE) ), and a distro including phonon and ONE multimedia backend | 02:46 |
| RAOF | Media apps shouldn't have to care about the underlying sound server (pulse, esd, jack) | 02:46 |
| nrg88 | RAOF: then why do other projects bother/ | 02:46 |
| nrg88 | ? | 02:46 |
| RAOF | Because they're stupid :P | 02:46 |
| nrg88 | pulseaudio, xine, esd, mplayer... | 02:46 |
| nrg88 | :D | 02:46 |
| nrg88 | you tell them | 02:46 |
| RAOF | Well, mplayer exists as an ffmpeg frontend, AFAICT | 02:46 |
| Fujitsu | We do need something unified, but there's no point writing a new one to do it. | 02:47 |
| RAOF | pulseaudio & ESD aren't media apps. | 02:47 |
| crimsun | nrg88: Phonon's not going to change that. It still will require some other backend. | 02:47 |
| RAOF | And xine was around before gstreamer | 02:47 |
| nrg88 | RAOF: exactly that's what phonon is trying to do: so a multimedia app will not have to bother of the underlying sound server | 02:47 |
| RAOF | nrg88: But they can do that right now, with gstreamer. | 02:47 |
| zakame | good morning :) | 02:48 |
| minghua | LaserJock: technically not wrong, although maybe we can be a little more polite | 02:48 |
| RAOF | gstreamer has plugins for alsa, jack, pulseaudio, esd, oss, etc | 02:48 |
| LaserJock | minghua: oops, my bad | 02:48 |
| minghua | LaserJock: since it's an old bug | 02:48 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: IMO, the rejection is fine | 02:48 |
| LaserJock | minghua: I've been looking over lots of old silly bugs today. I might be getting a bit to terse | 02:48 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: we definitely won't be adding libxaw8* | 02:48 |
| minghua | LaserJock: your rejection message is good for a next-day rejection, an after-eight-months rejection, however... | 02:49 |
| RAOF | nrg88: They *still* have to assume that phonon is there, so they might as well just drop phonon and use gstreamer :) | 02:49 |
| minghua | let me add my two cents there | 02:49 |
| LaserJock | minghua: thanks | 02:49 |
| crimsun | err, there's nothing impolite about jordan's response | 02:49 |
| crimsun | it's flat, sure, but nothing that even comes close to raising CoC objections | 02:50 |
| LaserJock | well *that's* good | 02:50 |
| LaserJock | can't be having an CoC violations ;-) | 02:50 |
| nrg88 | RAOF: then you tell the gnome devs to drop pulseaudio, and use gstreamer | 02:50 |
| crimsun | you want impolite? Look at Ron Lee's comments on wxwidgets2.5 | 02:50 |
| RAOF | nrg88: But they're different things. | 02:50 |
| Fujitsu | It's just ludicrous to expect us to do stuff like that, LaserJock. Your reply was fine. | 02:50 |
| RAOF | Gstreamer doesn't do the same thing as pulseaudio | 02:50 |
| nrg88 | phonon and gstreamer are different things too... | 02:51 |
| Fujitsu | crimsun: Where? | 02:51 |
| RAOF | nrg88: But not really. | 02:51 |
| nrg88 | but yes :) | 02:51 |
| Fujitsu | nrg88: Isn't phonon just an alternate interface? | 02:51 |
| === bddebian dances around the room... | ||
| RAOF | So, as I see it: Phonon is a way of decoding & playing media files, yes? | 02:51 |
| nrg88 | a new api | 02:51 |
| nrg88 | a unified api for the most backends | 02:51 |
| RAOF | Let's ignore the backends for a moment, they're irrelevant. | 02:52 |
| RAOF | Phonon is about playing music & video, yes? | 02:52 |
| LaserJock | bddebian: what's up? | 02:52 |
| nrg88 | is about using media | 02:52 |
| nrg88 | yes | 02:52 |
| nrg88 | it't not just for playing | 02:52 |
| RAOF | Ok. So, this is exactly what gstreamer is about. You even have pluggable backends. | 02:52 |
| bddebian | LaserJock: Just "watching" :) | 02:53 |
| nrg88 | what is pulseaudio about? | 02:54 |
| RAOF | playing and recording PCM audio, and caching small audio samples. | 02:54 |
| nrg88 | i thought gstreamer can do that too | 02:55 |
| nrg88 | the gnome sound recordes is using gstreamer | 02:55 |

| === minghua seems to have seen that 67441 before | ||
| Fujitsu | What are we meant to do about things like openhackware and proll? They try to build on i386 'cause they're arch all, but expect to be built on powerpc and sparc respectively. | 03:10 |
| plugwash | why are they arch all if they are only buildable on one architecture?! | 03:11 |
| Fujitsu | Because the binaries are architecture independent. They're used in qemu as firmware. | 03:12 |
| Fujitsu | Or something like that. | 03:12 |
| Fujitsu | But they expect to be built on the right architecture, which doesn't work with source-only uploads. | 03:13 |
| minghua | are they useful on other arches? | 03:13 |
| === plugwash wonders if an arch-all package that only builds on some architectures is really compliant with debian policies | ||
| Fujitsu | minghua: Yes, for qemu to emulate. | 03:13 |
| Fujitsu | openhackware is a PPC BIOS, so is really only going to be useful on non-PPC architectures. | 03:14 |
| minghua | so some package only useful for non-PPC arches but can only be built on PPC? | 03:14 |
| Fujitsu | That's correct. | 03:15 |
| Fujitsu | Potentially useful on PPC, but probably not the main use. | 03:15 |
| minghua | I think I am stumped | 03:15 |
| Fujitsu | Why? | 03:15 |
| plugwash | surely the correct soloution is to fix it to build on all architectures | 03:15 |
| minghua | try to persuade LP people to make soyuz accept binary uploads? | 03:15 |
| minghua | :-P | 03:16 |
| LaserJock | lol | 03:16 |
| bddebian | Have you read the bug information? It's not meant to build on non-PPC archs | 03:16 |
| Fujitsu | plugwash: That's impossible, I believe. | 03:16 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: It does, just not from mortals. | 03:16 |

| Fujitsu | LaserJock: How is his attitude towards Ubuntu | 03:26 |
| Fujitsu | *? | 03:27 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: well i am creating a script for an experimental download method that i am going to propose | 03:27 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: ever heard of metalink? | 03:27 |
| Fujitsu | I have, yes. I know nothing about it, though. | 03:28 |
| joejaxx | yeah i wanted to have a working concept before i went and proposed this download method | 03:28 |
| LaserJock | Fujitsu: well, mixed, he's texlive upstream and Debian maintainer | 03:28 |
| LaserJock | Fujitsu: he's basically the only real person triaging tex in Ubuntu | 03:29 |
| LaserJock | which makes him not so happy | 03:29 |
| LaserJock | but he does do quite a bit on Launchpad so he's not totally turned off | 03:29 |
| LaserJock | my guess is he does it because he hates seeing his packages in bad shape | 03:29 |

| jdong | Fujitsu: I asked the same | 03:51 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: I thought it was pretty obnoxious ;-) | 03:51 |

| joejaxx | hmm interesting | 03:52 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors-rss << they have this | 03:53 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: In the final? A little strange. | 03:53 |
| minghua | although I am indeed surprised that they didn't turn it off in formal releases | 03:53 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: but that does not have enough information | 03:53 |

| === ajmitch returns | ||
| LaserJock | jdong: yep :-) | 03:54 |
| Fujitsu | The new graphical installer /is/ pretty nice, but the screenshot button is a little stupid. | 03:54 |
| Fujitsu | Hey ajmitch. | 03:54 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: I didn't feel one way or another about their GUI installer | 03:54 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: it just exposed the exact same options in the exact same way via a GUI | 03:55 |
| jdong | IMO it's no different in usability/functionality than the ncurses one | 03:55 |
| jdong | oh yeah... except it can do SCREENSHOTS | 03:55 |
| Fujitsu | But it's shiny! | 03:55 |

| Fujitsu | (just as shiny as the Red Hat 7.0 one!) | 03:55 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: wake me up when it's 3D cube. | 03:55 |
| minghua | one important point of the GUI installer is that Debian supports quite a few languages in installation now | 03:55 |
| jdong | minghua: ah, ok, that's worthwhile | 03:55 |
| Fujitsu | Beryl built into the installer. I like it. | 03:55 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: That is a good thing. | 03:56 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: lol that is messed up | 03:56 |

| joejaxx | Cybermatt: checkinstall is a discouraged way of making packages | 04:04 |
| === Fujitsu energises the demolition beams. | ||

| ajmitch | white: you could try it.. | 04:04 |
| white | what if we all catch up during the afternoon and get drunk then? (ok a bit random, but still) | 04:05 |
| white | i mean we've waited for that a long time :) | 04:05 |
| ajmitch | Cybermatt: checkinstall doesn't create a source package that is reproducable & rebuildable by others, so it can't go into the distro | 04:05 |
| Cybermatt | ok lol then ill slowly start makeing them the real way | 04:07 |
| LaserJock | you might want to take a look at the Ubuntu Packaging Guide | 04:07 |
| LaserJock | http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/ | 04:07 |
| Cybermatt | yes i should | 04:07 |
| Cybermatt | got to get up early so i guess ill go now | 04:09 |
| ajmitch | checkinstall basically tars up the result of a build - source packages specify everything necessary to do the build in a clean system | 04:09 |

| joejaxx | LaserJock: :\ | 04:21 |
| ajmitch | sure, but that's rather a crap way to boot | 04:21 |
| joejaxx | ajmitch: yeah true | 04:21 |
| joejaxx | well i guess if you carry arond a business sized cdrom | 04:21 |
| ajmitch | usb stick is much smaller, and I carry a 2GB one on my keyring | 04:21 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: yeah it is | 04:21 |
| Fujitsu | When I was running Debian, I had the LUKS key on a USB stick which I carried around, and a little script to check for it on boot. Worked well. | 04:21 |
| LaserJock | I guess I just don't put that much sensitive stuff on my computer | 04:21 |

| LaserJock | :-) | 04:24 |
| ajmitch | joejaxx: it shouldn't be too much of a challenge to get that working | 04:24 |
| Fujitsu | I've never dealt with SELinux before... How hard is it to set up on Debian? | 04:24 |
| joejaxx | of course i forgot when i went to do yabootconfig --kernel-args "selinux=1 audit=1 enforcing=1" that the drive was encrypted lol | 04:24 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: well with the default policies 7 minutes | 04:25 |
| Fujitsu | Not bad. | 04:25 |
| ajmitch | Fujitsu: simple enough | 04:25 |
| nixternal | can you still chroot into encrypted partitions in case of an emergency with ease? | 04:25 |
| ajmitch | it *ought* to be that simple on ubuntu | 04:25 |
| Fujitsu | I wonder if cjwatson would be averse to adding an extra option to Ubiquity for doing crypto. | 04:25 |
| LaserJock | what does selinux do? | 04:25 |
| joejaxx | apt-get selinux-basics && patch the necessary files && `fixfiles relabel` | 04:26 |
| LaserJock | I remember Fedora having it an it being a pain in the butt | 04:26 |
| Fujitsu | nixternal: Yes, you just need the cryptsetup package and to know the key. | 04:26 |
| joejaxx | oh and do not forget to do check-selinux-installation | 04:26 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: mandatory access control - programs run in security domains & users have specific roles | 04:26 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: FC2 or so? :) | 04:26 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 04:26 |
| nixternal | ya, it would be nice to encrypt at least my /home directory | 04:26 |
| joejaxx | then reboot after you add the kernel args to yaboot /grub | 04:26 |
| LaserJock | last of my RedHat/Fedora experience | 04:26 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: that gave selinux a bad name for a long time | 04:26 |
| ajmitch | a strict policy, on by default, that broke the world | 04:27 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 04:27 |
| ajmitch | to do simple things like adding user roles you had to recompile the whole policy | 04:27 |
| joejaxx | Fujitsu: all that takes me about 7 minutes the thing that takes the most time is the file labeling ie `fixfiles relabel` | 04:27 |
| ajmitch | things have improved a bit :) | 04:27 |
| LaserJock | I was like "What the heck is this selinux thing and why the heck won't my computer work?" | 04:27 |
| nixternal | I got to see a great demo of FC7 yesterday. Their artwork is stellar, GDM and KDM logins look great, and if you have the fingerprint scanner, it will prompt you to either enter a password for your username or ask you to swipe your finger | 04:28 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: does it do anything for the home user? | 04:28 |
| joejaxx | ajmitch: i did not know they included the refpolicy-targeted by default in etch | 04:28 |
| Fujitsu | The latter is easy to do in Ubuntu too. | 04:28 |
| nixternal | otherwise, it was the same exact GNOME and KDE (icons and color) they have used from day one | 04:28 |
| joejaxx | i was surprised with that | 04:28 |
| Fujitsu | LaserJock: security++ | 04:28 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: sure | 04:29 |
| LaserJock | hmm | 04:29 |

| ajmitch | Fujitsu: universe, simple fixes | 04:30 |
| ajmitch | most of what we need is already there from debian | 04:30 |
| joejaxx | yeap | 04:30 |
| Fujitsu | Oh, good. So it's not stuff that has been blacklisted for some reason. | 04:30 |
| ajmitch | no | 04:30 |
| ajmitch | why do you think it's been blacklisted? | 04:31 |
| Fujitsu | No idea. | 04:31 |

| joejaxx | Fujitsu: yeah i think that is the case | 04:34 |
| joejaxx | openhackware does not have any binaries | 04:34 |
| Fujitsu | That's the openhackware stuff I was talking about a couple of hours ago. | 04:35 |

| === Fujitsu checks. | ||
| Fujitsu | ... no, that's something else. | 05:14 |
| ajmitch | no, it is | 05:14 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: pysupport will cope with modules installed into the "system" directories, whereas pycentral wants them under /usr/share/python-central. I think. | 05:14 |
| ajmitch | 13x4+2 | 05:14 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: pysupport struck me as more polished, too. | 05:15 |

| StevenK | Maybe I am remembering wrongly. | 05:16 |
| Fujitsu | It needs a new BIOS (it currently gets it from bochs) or some kernels panic. | 05:17 |
| StevenK | Maybe it's because pycentral wants that damn XB-Python-Version crap in the control file | 05:17 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: But added control fields is FUN. | 05:17 |
| RAOF | Policy says "please add that regardless" :) | 05:17 |

| LaserJock | ok, well I don't know what that was all about | 08:31 |
| LaserJock | but a restart fixed | 08:31 |
| LaserJock | hi imbrandon | 08:33 |
| jussi01 | hehe | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | heya LaserJock | 08:38 |
| imbrandon | hrm if you set a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces you must set a gateway correct >? | 08:38 |
| imbrandon | e.g. not just a ip/netmask | 08:38 |
| jussi01 | can i ask a random question, just if someone knows? | 08:40 |
| imbrandon | no i dont have blue eyes. | 08:40 |

| imbrandon | LaserJock, right | 08:41 |
| imbrandon | thats what i thought | 08:41 |

| siretart | Fujitsu: ajmitch: cryptroot? - according to the tons of lp bugs about it, I'd say its pretty broken in edgy and feisty | 09:31 |

| Fujitsu | siretart: That's what I'd have thought. | 09:31 |
| Fujitsu | I might see what I can do for Feisty+1. | 09:31 |
| crimsun | siretart: anything we can do in the next week to get it ready? | 09:32 |
| ajmitch | hi siretart | 09:32 |
| crimsun | I see it's fairly popular | 09:32 |
| siretart | hi Fujitsu crimsun & ajmitch | 09:32 |
| crimsun | hi | 09:32 |
| siretart | crimsun: yesterday, I tried to setup a system to reproduce it, and test some patches filed in lp | 09:33 |
| siretart | crimsun: bug #104595 is the result | 09:33 |
| ubotu | Malone bug 104595 in mdadm "qemu image with root on lvm on md fails to boot" [Undecided,Unconfirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104595 | 09:33 |
| crimsun | ah | 09:33 |
| siretart | I'd suggest to use that qemu image as a start | 09:33 |
| ajmitch | siretart: is that with cryptroot or not? | 09:34 |
| siretart | ajmitch: no, it has "plain" root on lvm on md | 09:34 |
| ajmitch | I thought & hoped that lvm/md boot bugs were fixed now :( | 09:34 |
| Fujitsu | How does md manage to be so flaky with Edgy/Feisty? | 09:34 |
| Fujitsu | Is it upstart? | 09:34 |
| crimsun | there appear to be a bevy of those sort of bugs | 09:34 |
| Fujitsu | Hm. | 09:34 |
| siretart | ajmitch: but the vg has 5 gig free, so it should be pretty straightforward to create another lv, crypt it and boot from it | 09:34 |
| Fujitsu | Was it all OK in Dapper? | 09:35 |
| crimsun | I know I'm experiencing just one of them (where initramfs/udev are way too fast for the SATA controller) | 09:35 |
| Fujitsu | crimsun: Get a slower machine. Duh. | 09:35 |
| crimsun | buy me one kthx | 09:35 |
| siretart | Fujitsu: I persume so. dapper didn't have upstart and this async udev/devmapper/foo startup concept | 09:35 |
| ajmitch | siretart: I thought it was just udev/initramfs/kernel racing, before upstart got its hands on the system? | 09:36 |
| Fujitsu | You have to blame upstart for it too, ajmitch. | 09:36 |
| ajmitch | I do? | 09:37 |
| siretart | ajmitch: upstart broke cryptsetup with its logging. so we had funny bugs like no prompt for password at all, or password printed on screen (later) | 09:37 |
| Fujitsu | It is a combination of upstart and the new initramfs funny stuff. | 09:37 |
| Fujitsu | And usplash in parts. | 09:37 |
| siretart | ajmitch: usplash causes other funny bugs: if I prompt for a password in usplash, and the user switches the vt without entering the password, you cannot switch back to enter your pw | 09:38 |
| Fujitsu | What is the benefit of the new device-mapper initramfs stuff that causes this? | 09:38 |
| siretart | short: the fact that cryptsetup isn't in main is very very unfurtunate. this way nobody cares about crypted filesystems | 09:38 |
| siretart | perhaps we should make a spec for it in sevilla | 09:39 |
| Fujitsu | I'd love to have it properly supported for Feisty+1. | 09:39 |
| siretart | same here | 09:39 |
| Fujitsu | Speaking of which, we should have a name for that in the next few days. | 09:39 |
| siretart | I 'fixed' the cryptsetup/usplash part by making the cryptsetup script to terminate usplash altogether | 09:40 |
| Fujitsu | I noticed that, and turned it back on locally. | 09:41 |
| ajmitch | I hope we have a name soon | 09:42 |
| Fujitsu | It was 8 days before release last time. | 09:42 |
| ajmitch | well we're getting close | 09:42 |
| Fujitsu | Yeah, T-10 now. | 09:42 |
| Fujitsu | T-10... I forgot we were that close. | 09:43 |
| ajmitch | start fixing stuff faster | 09:44 |
| === Fujitsu is no good at fixing things, unfortunately. | ||
| siretart | I've been calling it goofy as intermediate name ;) | 09:44 |
| siretart | err, interim | 09:44 |
| crimsun | I'm going through the RC bug list, but upload.ubuntu.com's ftpd seems down :\ | 09:45 |
| Fujitsu | crimsun: The rest of it seems to be up. | 09:45 |
| Fujitsu | Hm. | 09:45 |
| crimsun | I've poked in #canonical-sysadmin, but I have no idea if that's the correct channel | 09:45 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: oh dear | 09:45 |

| imbrandon | crimsun, my words exactly | 10:10 |
| imbrandon | we have 4+ CCNA's on staff | 10:10 |

| StevenK | Because Netgear is crap | 10:18 |
| Fujitsu | Laser_away: Sleep! | 10:18 |
| imbrandon | because their routers/switches are pretty like apple design ? | 10:18 |

| crimsun | Fujitsu: he's busy fixing universe, yay | 10:18 |
| StevenK | imbrandon: Apple design is crap too | 10:19 |
| imbrandon | but it looks nice ( IMHO ) | 10:19 |
| imbrandon | lol | 10:19 |
| crimsun | actually, I guess one can interpret StevenK's "go quickly" as "go quickly into the trash" | 10:19 |
| StevenK | imbrandon: Okay, if looking nice is the only criteria, then don't complain about your network being crap. | 10:20 |

| Fujitsu | There we go. | 10:45 |
| Fujitsu | So it's a big bump. | 10:45 |
| Lure | Fujitsu: yep, old one is more or less useless for most users | 10:45 |
| Fujitsu | Is it broken at the moment? | 10:45 |
| Fujitsu | Aha. | 10:45 |
| Fujitsu | Sounds reasonable. | 10:45 |
| siretart | more or less? | 10:45 |
| Lure | 0.20 is the first one that had more devices working (release in opensuse 10.2) | 10:45 |
| Lure | siretart: most edgy users use these packages | 10:46 |
| ajmitch | iirc it was discussed a few days ago | 10:46 |
| Lure | ajmitch: yep, Mithrandir asked why we have so old release | 10:47 |
| Fujitsu | Ah. | 10:47 |
| Lure | ajmitch: I just jumped on it as I have new mobile phone and kde integration finally works in 0.22 | 10:47 |

| === ajmitch wonders how many last minute freeze exceptions we'll get | ||
| siretart | Lure: any reason to not have it in feisty-backports? | 10:48 |
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: I can organise several if you want. Got a rewrite or two that some people have requested. | 10:48 |
| siretart | ajmitch: I wish we get PPA soon | 10:48 |
| Fujitsu | siretart: That shouldn't be long after Feisty is released. | 10:48 |
| Lure | siretart: actually that could be fine for people interested | 10:49 |
| ajmitch | Fujitsu: sure, go ahead | 10:49 |
| === Fujitsu mass-files UVF exceptions using a template. | ||
| ajmitch | Fujitsu: doesn't mean they'll get approved of course | 10:49 |
| Lure | siretart: I would not like to issue UVFe before I get some users with other phones - I test onlz kdepim and syncml plugins, but there are many other combinations | 10:50 |
| Lure | siretart: before we get at least evolution and some other phone plugin tested by some motu/devel it would be a tough call anyhow | 10:51 |
| === Fujitsu has an old original Zire for testing, if that works. | ||
| nrg88 | why does the adept_updater keep bugging me about "There's a new version of Kubuntu available..." and when i click Version upgrade, it fails all the time? | 10:54 |

| fernando | my ubuntu mirror have already with 172G and continuing (only x86 and amd64). Somebody know the size? | 03:13 |
| Hobbsee | binary and source? | 03:13 |
| fernando | only binary, without source | 03:14 |
| Hobbsee | something big. | 03:14 |
| fernando | heheheh | 03:14 |
| StevenK | fernando: My i386 and amd64 mirror for Edgy and Feisty is nowhere near that. | 03:16 |
| Fujitsu | Isn't it 13GB per architecture per release or so? | 03:17 |
| StevenK | It's 44Gb | 03:18 |
| Fujitsu | fernando: How are you mirroring it? | 03:18 |
| fernando | Fujitsu: rsync | 03:19 |

| Fujitsu | StevenK: What does it do? | 03:29 |

| Fujitsu | How's it particularly bad if it's just after the release? | 03:43 |
| StevenK | Depending on the service, people can't download, for example? | 03:48 |
| Fujitsu | I guess, but there are mirrors for that. | 03:48 |
| crimsun | I'm guessing the problem would be that most people don't have mirror hierarchy memorised | 03:49 |

| ScottK | Lutin: I've confirmed that if I rename the pysol provided random to a non-colliding name, the imports work. Is there a simple way to make sure that the local directory gets looked at first in pythonpath when using python-support? | 11:04 |
| psusi | wasn't there a switch to tell X applications to force the calls to be synchronous so you can debug easier? | 11:06 |
| Lutin | ScottK: there is a simple that is implemented - /usr/share/games/pysol/pysol.py adds /usr/share/games/pysol/ as the first element of sys.path, thus this directory should be looked at first | 11:07 |
| Lutin | this is why I can't understand what happens, because here it just behaves as expected | 11:07 |
| ScottK | So I added a one liner print sys.path to see if it was being modified and pysol started. Weird. | 11:12 |

| === fowlduck [n=nate@205.213.122.173] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Lutin | ScottK: you renamed the file to random.py ? | 11:14 |
| ScottK | No | 11:15 |
| ScottK | What I was exploring was brute forcing the problem by changing the pysol provided random.py to pysol_randmo.py and then changing the imports. | 11:16 |
| ScottK | I'd changed several of them when I saw your last response, so I added print sys.path to the one I was working on at the time and then instead of printing sys.path, pysol actually started. | 11:17 |
| ScottK | I purged and tried again added the print sys.path to actions.py (which is where the first import is) and then I got the same crash after printing sys.path. | 11:18 |
| ScottK | I can now confirm that sys.path includes /usr/share/games/pysol ahead of the system Python libraries as you had expected. | 11:18 |
