RenatoSilvaare you ubuntu developers???04:42
HobbseeRenatoSilva: no.  we just sit here and pretend.  duh04:42
Burgundaviasome of us are, some of us aren't04:42
BurgundaviaHobbsee: ;)04:42
Hobbseehiya Burgundavia, how's it going?04:42
Burgundaviaback from Texas and sick04:43
Hobbseeawww04:43
RenatoSilvaand sapdfl, where does he is?04:43
Burgundaviaumm?04:43
HobbseeRenatoSilva: what did you want?04:43
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: do I incomodate you, because I'm not ubuntu developer, what kind of talk may I have here??04:44
=== Hobbsee wonders what incomodate is
BurgundaviaRenatoSilva: yes, you can talk here, as long it is on topic04:45
RenatoSilvai'm bad in elglish, sorry04:45
Burgundaviaif you have a bug report, please file it on Launchpad04:45
Burgundaviaa suggestions for a new feature is a spec04:45
Hobbseeah.  didnt know that word.04:45
bhaleyou might get more help in #ubuntu-br04:45
RenatoSilvato "incomodate" is to make something that make someone unconfortable, something non-suitable 04:46
RenatoSilvai dunno the correct verb04:46
RenatoSilvaBurgundavia: about what can i talk?04:46
Burgundaviasee the topic04:46
HobbseeRenatoSilva: see the /topic04:46
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: it's unclear04:47
HobbseeRenatoSilva: right, what did you want to talk about?04:47
Hobbseethis channel is for the development of ubuntu, not support04:47
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: let's test if my talk is or not on topic04:47
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: i want to talk about winmodem support (but don't give me wiki pages, launchpad etc. i'm not a dummy user!!!!!)04:48
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: may I?04:48
bhalethe topic is very clear on this not being for support04:50
_ionThis discussion has already been 30 lines. :-)04:50
jdong_ion: the discussion about discussing?04:50
_ionYeah, that.04:50
_ionMetadiscussion04:51
bhaleif you want to develop more support for winmodems you want to specify it in wiki/launchpad04:51
jdongpremetadiscussional planning04:51
bhaleno one called you a dummy04:51
HobbseeRenatoSilva: people here are concentrating on releasing feisty.  winmodem support will not change for feisty, at this point.  i suspect you're out of luck, at least for the next couple of weeks.  what you really want to do is see the ubuntu-devel mailing list, as the dialogue goes on there04:51
RenatoSilva_ion: metadiscussion? rsss!!!04:51
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: ok, but can you let me make about 2 paragraph-comment about it?04:52
Hobbseeif you like, but it probably wont do much, seeing as the devs you're looking for arent ehre, and everyone's busy working on feisty, bug fixing...04:53
_ionOne could find it humorous that his screen is 75% full of discussion pretty much about can i please make a two line comment about something. :-)04:54
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: Jesus! Just let me say, I don't want support, neither to relate a bug04:54
HobbseeRenatoSilva: i realise that...04:54
RenatoSilva_ion: ok, so let's go!!! I'll tell you right before you kick me off :D04:55
bhaleplease don't yell.04:55
jdonggo ahead and say what you want to say....04:55
RenatoSilvaFortunately most of I want to say is in this page I've found right today:04:56
RenatoSilvahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/OutoftheboxWinmodem04:56
RenatoSilvaI dunno if you fully know that content04:56
RenatoSilvaAdditionaly I want to say that04:57
RenatoSilvaHere in Brazil, which on the countrary of most of you can think, it's not that whom Buenos Aires is capital...04:58
RenatoSilvaWell, here...04:58
RenatoSilvait's a very important issue, considering the resolution of bug #104:58
ubotuMalone bug 1 in jl "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/104:58
HobbseeRenatoSilva: winmodem support so far has not been done, not because of lack of interest, but lack of active developers.  if you're interested in coding it, or finding a team of people to code it, then that would be great.04:59
RenatoSilvathere's here a GREAT demand for this support, and it will certaintly spread even more the use of ubuntu around our *million* of windows users04:59
HobbseeRenatoSilva: but waving the magic wand and hoping that it'll be done for you doesnt always work05:00
Hobbseeseeing as there are limited resources, and lots of worthy projects that the ubuntu developers want to work on05:00
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: this is what i wanted to say05:00
HobbseeRenatoSilva: great05:00
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: I want to know I what I say, including Brazil's scenario, is something new to you05:01
jdongRenatoSilva: I think most of us are aware that many many countries still run primarily dial-up05:02
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: if it's new, only to make you know this, so that you can use it as strategic information, is enough to me05:02
HobbseeRenatoSilva: it's not new.  like i say, it's not a lack of interest in the project - it's a lack of developers.  seeing as most of them arent paid, we cant force them to do particular stuff, unless they're interested.05:03
RenatoSilvajdong: what do you mean by aware? volunteerly aware?05:03
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: great!!05:03
jdongRenatoSilva: aware, as in most of us already knew what you claim. there is nothing earth-shattering05:03
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: thank you for useful information, i didn't noticed that!05:04
jdongRenatoSilva: winmodem support is indeed important but there do not appear to be a massive rush of developers interested in getting it coded05:04
Hobbseewow, there's even a bounty for doing it, it looks like05:04
jdongand work is indeed going into it....05:04
jdonghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportSlModem05:04
jdongthere are MIR's filed for SmartLink modem support05:04
RenatoSilvajdong: sorry for the bad English05:04
jdongno sweat :)05:05
RenatoSilvajdong: so, are you very interested on it, but limited, is that?05:05
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: what about the page I've passed?05:05
HobbseeRenatoSilva: looks good. same answer as above, though05:06
jdongRenatoSilva: I would be interested in doing it, if I have (1) the time (2) A variety of softmodems to test on05:06
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: it's related to a blueprint, it's a official concern, but the limitation is missing of developers? right?05:06
ajmitchjdong: how about hardware documentation?05:07
HobbseeRenatoSilva: pretty much05:07
jdongajmitch: well there are already several drivers out there that are just not preconfigured by default :-/05:07
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: thank you very much!!!!05:07
jdongajmitch: I think Ubuntu _can_ do better integrating currently available softmodem drivers....05:08
jdongbut yeah, it is work05:08
jdongand going to be full of hardware black magic05:08
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: so if you want, think in Brazil when considering the importance assigned to this "bug", maybe becoming more mainstream makes more developers to be interested on it05:08
HobbseeRenatoSilva: maybe, yes.05:09
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: I'm very sad of not being able to help, I thought it was missing of attention with us, but missing is of programmers, and I did not knew taht05:09
jdongmost missing functionality is due to a lack of infinite developer resources :)05:10

RenatoSilvajdong: I did not know05:11
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: I've wrote a Portuguese tutorial, and I think I could build a .deb package for an installation out of the box for Lucent/Agere modems, but the problem is exactly time!!!!05:12
_ionand the amount of exclamation points.05:13
RenatoSilvaHobbsee: unfortunately, my contributtions can be only spporadic, little-time tasks, such as this tutorial I've wrote05:13
_ionThey probably should go to linux-image or linux-restricted-modules.05:13
jdongyeah, there are a lot of time issues involved. Time it takes to put together a high-quality support for hardware ina a distro, and also the time and dedication it takes for years after to make sure it is kept maintained05:13
RenatoSilva_ion: sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!05:13
RenatoSilva_ion: :D05:13
jdongit's little good if it's just put in there and the author disappears05:13
RenatoSilvajdong: put what? code or docs?05:14
RenatoSilvajdong: should exists 'maintainers'05:15
jdongRenatoSilva: code and docs....05:15
jdongbut the question is _who_ are these maintainers?05:15
jdongthey do not magically appear out of nowhere05:15
jdongit's a major responsibility to undertake05:16

RenatoSilvajdong: it should exist maintaners separated specifically to maintainin stuff05:18

RenatoSilvabut...05:19
RenatoSilvanext page05:19
RenatoSilvado you know MArtian driver??05:19
jdongYou mean the Lucent/Agere Mars chipset? (1648)05:20
RenatoSilvajdong: no, the driver for it05:20
RenatoSilvajdong: i think it's easy to package it as a .deb and put it into hardware detection in the install process05:21
jdongltmodem, right?05:21
jdonglinux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-12-386: lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.20-12-386/ltmodem/ltmodem.mod.o05:22
jdongit seems to be in the -386 kernel05:22
RenatoSilvai forgot, also I'd like to help with gnome-ppp that is still too simple05:22
jdongbut not in the -generic kernel05:22
jdongI have no idea why...05:22
RenatoSilvajdong: it's an alternative driver05:22
ajmitchjdong: binary-only driver that can't handle SMP, iirc05:22
jdongajmitch: ah, ok, didn't know that :)05:23
ajmitchthere's at least 1 or 2 like that05:23
RenatoSilvajdong: is that a thing to verify?05:23
jdongRenatoSilva: no, I am not familiar with that driver...05:23
jdongI have seen ltmodem before05:23
RenatoSilvajdong: a moment05:23
desrtwhat is a "validation bug"?05:24
jdong"It is known that there sometimes are behaviours such as the one which05:24
jdongyou observe with ltmodem and smp. Therefore the logical step is to keep05:24
jdongltmodem and temporarily use the single p (UP) kernel, just to make sure if05:24
jdongthe problem is the ltmodem-smp conflict."05:24
jdongbut that is dated information05:24
RenatoSilvajdong: i don't undertand nothing of what you just said :D05:26

=== dcsmith [n=dcsmith@ool-4351bc6d.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdong(alpha) Testing. Volunteers are invited. There's no official release yet.05:27
jdongit seems to be an alpha driver05:27
RenatoSilvajdong: i think it's easy to take martian and embed it in the instalaltion05:27
jdongRenatoSilva: if it is shown that martian is more stable or reliable than the existing ltmodem driver, then yes, it could very well go into the kernel05:28
RenatoSilvajdong: the martian? sure, but it is working here, except of some strange screws from the device :D05:28
jdongthat doesn't sound like a great success report05:29
RenatoSilvajdong: so it was useful to tell you about it? will you keep it in mind?05:29
jdongfor something you want included as a part of the Ubuntu kernel05:29
RenatoSilvajdong: or it's another place i have to go??05:29
jdongI have no decision making power around here05:29
jdongyou should try the mailing list as a way to get more developers involved05:29
jdongand if you can state your findings with the martian driver on the wiki page you linked to, that will help too05:30
RenatoSilvajdong: about the screws: was a joking, sometimes when connecting there's strange sounds, but only sometimes, my PC never had frozen because of such driver for example...05:30
jdongstill... this is a driver... that inserts itself into the kernel05:31
jdongit needs to be of a certain quality level before it's wise to ship it by default05:31
RenatoSilvajdong: anyway the quality may be verified by inspecting the code05:32
RenatoSilvajdong: i don't remeber it I've tried ltmodem, I think I had trouble with it, so that I've tried martian05:33
jdongwhich takes developer resources05:33
RenatoSilvajdong: :D05:33
jdong:)05:33
jdongbut yes, RenatoSilva, we aren't going to completely forget about winmodem support...05:34
RenatoSilvajdong: a question: what's the difference between ltmodem and sl-modem?05:34
jdongRenatoSilva: the situation will naturally get better as these better drivers emerge05:34
jdongRenatoSilva: ltmodem is for the Agere Mars 1648C chipset, while sl-modem is for the SmartLink Intel HDA modems05:34
jdongdifferent chipsets05:34
jdongthis of course does not solve the problem with the Conexant HDA HSF modems05:35
jdongby far the most popular modems05:35
jdongfor which no half-open drivers exist.05:35
RenatoSilvajdong: I hope very much, for all that I've said, that it become true fast05:35
RenatoSilvajdong: wow, great05:35
RenatoSilvajdong: btw, I guess I remember why i did not used ltmodem!!!05:36
RenatoSilvajdong: it's because it's a hard modem driver, right??? or no??05:36
=== superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdongno05:36
jdongit is also a driver for the Mars chipset05:37
jdongmartian seems to be a rewrite of it05:37
jdongit also uses the same ltmodem binary blob05:37
jdongjust a different 'wrapper' around it05:37
RenatoSilvajdong: i would try it to see if it works, but i don't want to have re-work in case of re-installin martian05:37
RenatoSilvajdong: does ltmodem is installable by apt?05:37
RenatoSilvajdong: wow, i 'm not such a low-level programmer05:38
jdongit is installable by apt, but only on the linux-386 kernel05:39
jdongif you install and boot the -386 kernel, ltmodem should be enabled automatically05:39
jdongthat is already in Ubuntu :)05:39
RenatoSilvajdong: if someday it would be possible, I think it would be interesting to connect statistics in Brazil and world-wide about the most-used modems, I use Agere here but i'm not sure if it's the most-used05:40
jdongI used to be a dial-up modem guru/fanatic....05:40
jdongI will tell you off the bat the most popular by far are Conexant HSF/HSP's05:41
jdongtoday, in the form of Conexant HDA modems05:41
RenatoSilvajdong: so that's why the network > modem item did not worked when i first installed my Edgy, because I'm in a Core 2 Duo05:41
jdongsecond most popular are Agere Mars 1648C05:41
jdongand then it's SmartLink05:41
jdongthe order there between 2 and 3 may be flipped05:41
RenatoSilvajdong: also in Brazil?05:42
jdongI'd expect so05:42
jdong(the main motivation is that Conexant HDA is dirt cheap)05:43
jdongit's quite literally connecting the telephone wire to two input leads on the sound card :)05:43
RenatoSilvajdong: are you a genuine developer of ubuntu right?  so let me make a question05:48
jdongno, I am actually not a developer05:49
jdongI actually do, as Hobbsee suggested, hang around and act as one :D05:49
jdong(I have several other responsibilities in the Ubuntu community that keep me well busy)05:50
RenatoSilvahere in Brazil we have a grear virtual community called GUJ (.com.br) in which forum we discuss about Java technology, and currently by these  days we're talking about the importance of Tests in software (junit.org, unit tests, TDD etc.)05:50
Hobbseejdong: and being the master of backports..05:50
Hobbseejdong: that counts as a developer05:50
jdong:)05:50
jdongok05:50
=== jdong puts on Developer badge :d
RenatoSilvasome were saying that sofwtare without tests are to put in trash05:51
jdongHobbsee: I promise I'll get a MOTU badge before the summer is over :D05:51
bhaleyou could get one, if you wanted.05:51
jdongRenatoSilva: a comprehensive yet accurate test suite is indeed a great thing to have for any piece of software05:51
Hobbseejdong: yay!05:51
jdongbhale: I think I still need to put in some packaging work before I qualify :)05:51
RenatoSilvaso I wondered if this culture of Unit Tests, TDD etc. was particular of Java or if it is used in Linux kernel and distros, for example05:51
RenatoSilvadoes the Linux kernel have Unit Tests?????05:52
jdongRenatoSilva: many kernel developers I'm sure have a regression testing suite...05:52
jdongRenatoSilva: it is very hard to define unit tests for every subsystem of the kernel05:52
RenatoSilvais there something like JUnit for C, such as "CUnit"??05:52
jdongRenatoSilva: but I know for sure filesystem developers have a very full testing suite05:53
bhalethis is drifting further from the topic05:53
bhalegoogle says: http://cutest.sourceforge.net/05:54
RenatoSilvaand Debian too, they test its software for years before release it, which kind of tests they do, I wondered05:54
jdongusers test and report bugs, bugs are fixed05:54
jdongthe standard way of testing05:54
jdongyou can't practically unit test an entire distribution :)05:55
jdongtry writing a unit test for burning a DVD :)05:55
RenatoSilvaI told them, If tests are so important that you reject non-testable software, then we shoudn't trust in linux kernel, because they haven't tests05:55
RenatoSilvajdong: it would be difficult???05:56
jdongyes05:56
bhaleubuntu releases go through a documented testing plan05:56
RenatoSilvajdong: it's strange, in Java we have not this culture of "hey, it's a beta, help us testing it"05:57
bhalecan i persuade you to join #ubuntu-offtopic05:57
RenatoSilvajdong: we pratically have not "betas", but milestones05:57

wowowwell posted there06:00
RenatoSilvabhale: sorry, I finished :D06:00
Hobbseebhale: exactly.06:00
wowowjust in case no one is awake, would anyone have a clue why on intel chipset mobos the dapepr installer goes blank on all terminals 3/4'rs of the way through? or how to fix this problem?06:00
wowowor get around it even?06:00
RenatoSilvathank you everybody, see you later!06:01
Hobbseewowow: might be better to run edgy/feisty on that, if it's a core duo06:01
Hobbseeor later06:01
wowowcan't 06:01
wowowthis is for work06:01
wowowwe can only run lts06:01
jdongwowow: what kind of Intel system?06:01
wowowwell two separate systems06:02
wowowthis one is an asus z95f with a core duo cpu indeed06:02
_ionwowow: Have you posted a bug report?06:02
wowowthe others are an asrock mobo with ... *hmm* with core 2 duos on them06:03
wowowi would but i'm flying out in about 3 hours06:03
Hobbseewowow: that kernell seems to be a bit old to support the core duo's well - i had the same problem, with graphics06:03
wowowlooking for wiggle room, then will post 06:03
jdongwowow: please do file a bug report....06:03
wowowyeah later, i don't have time06:03
jdongsure.06:03
wowowHobbsee, ah, *hmm*06:03
wowowdamnit might not have any choice but to do edgy feisty06:04
wowow*grr*06:04
Hobbseewowow: unfortunately, yes.  feisty should be fairly well supported by now06:05
wowowlots and lots of updates still, kinda shitty to have regular users have a box like that.  when is feisty due for release?06:06
Hobbsee19th06:06
Hobbseetrue, but a new kernel has the potential to break a lot of other things.06:06
Hobbseewhich is unacceptable for a LTS, obviously06:06
RenatoSilvanext wednesday? nice!06:06
wowowah, *hmm* well maybe we could squeak by06:06
wowowHobbsee, yeah true, i have a canonical support account but its fior 9x506:07
wowowi'll bug them in about a week to see if there is anything that can be backported06:07
_ionThere shouldnt be many updates for feisty before release.06:07
wowowmaybe not06:07
Hobbseewowow: you could always upgrade that support if you needed it, too.  *shrug*06:07
Hobbseeor make sure you only do the upgrades between 9-506:07
wowownot without my bosses cc and not before i fly out06:08
Hobbseegood point06:08
wowowHobbsee, so you say youve seen this before?06:08
wowowintel chipset too?06:08
Hobbseewowow: not exactly that - but had heaps of X problems when trying to run dapper on this core duo06:09

wowowwell on the upside, with feisty the power use on the laptop should improve, right?06:11
Hobbseeshould do, yes06:11
Hobbseebooting's a lot faster too06:11
wowowcuz this mofo cpu fan is spinning at 100% right now for no reason06:11
wowowheh06:11
jdongperformance will also be better on the core duos06:11
jdongand any other shared-cache CPU designs06:11
wowowoh i heard that, so the new bootloader is working wonders eh?06:11
wowowjdong, nifty06:12
jdonglol not really... just optimized boot scripts06:12
wowowso what you guys are saying is take a chance, lots of upside06:12
Hobbseewowow: yes.06:12
jdongI think Feisty is a good choice :)06:12
jdongonce it releases06:12
Hobbseewowow: particularly if you've got the canonical support anyway06:12
wowowallright, blast it, i was hoping for keeping lts around and doing a company wide upgrade06:12
wowowcool, thx for the input, that clears up a few things06:13
Hobbseepresumably with the next one you could06:14
wowowactually i'm starting to doubt it06:15
wowowchipset and cpu designs evolve so quickly, it's impossible to keep a 2 year old kernel current06:15
Hobbseewowow: true, but are you going to upgrade all your machines again after this?06:15
wowownot until the next lts is available06:16
Hobbseeie, it'll still support all the old ones - but will you be adding more that you need the later support for?06:16
Hobbseesorry, i meant hardware-wise06:16
wowowunfortunately yeah we do every year and in unplanned ways06:16
wowowwe run stuff for the gov't so they randomly give us dollars to spend or we loose them06:16
wowowmakes planning VERY difficult06:16
Hobbseeahh06:17
wowowalbeit linux still makes it easier than dealing with vista06:17
Hobbseetrue06:17
Hobbseewhich means you'd have exactly the same problem with any distro, presumably06:17
wowowoh totally06:17
wowownot complaining about ubuntu at all06:17
Hobbseeif you needed the latest kernels each time to support the computers you were buying06:17
wowowjust a kink in the deployment strategy i guess06:18
Hobbseein that case, i'd guess that you'd want to pick a distro which is good at dist-upgrading, and officially supports that06:18
wowowthere is only two bro 06:18
wowow:)06:18
wowowdebian06:18
wowowand debian + (i.e. ubuntu)06:18
wowow:)06:18
Hobbseeie, it sounds like you're not looking for LTS at all - but a good way to dist-upgrade06:18
Burgundaviawowow: lts --> lts will certain be supported06:19
Hobbseewell, yeah :)06:19
Burgundaviacertainly, rather06:19
wowowno i'm really only looking for lts, i'm being forced to alter my assumptions :)06:19
=== Treenaks will probably be running feisty on his shiny new server

wowowreally?06:19
Treenaks(because +2 was the last I heard)06:20

wowowah okay06:20
HobbseeBurgundavia: you've misread the release annoucement or something06:20
BurgundaviaHobbsee: which one?06:20
Treenaks(that means 2 years between LTS)06:20
HobbseeBurgundavia: the one for gusty06:20
Burgundaviaah06:20
wowowHobbsee, well thats a good point.  i guess using festy now in a limited way isn't too bad considering a 12 month wait06:20
jdongHobbsee: gushy.06:20
Hobbseewowow: keep in mind that feisty's still supported - just that it'll only be supported for 18 months.06:20
Treenaksjdong: gusty06:21
wowowBurgundavia, btw, its me holycow06:21
wowowlol06:21

jdongTreenaks: no, gushy. gushy giblets...06:21
BurgundaviaHobbsee: you are right, I failed to read the announcement closely06:21
Hobbseewowow: but by the sound of things, you'd need to upgrade way before that anyway, if you're getting new hardware every year06:21

fabbioneKeybuk: it's possible... it's possible that we need to use the same trick to check the raid status before attempting to enable lvm10:29
Keybukwe don't have a trick to check the raid status ...10:29
Keybukin theory, we should just be able to call lvm repeatedly until it works; likewise with mdadm10:29
fabbionewe added that call to mdadm --$cantremember10:30

Keybukok, interesting10:34
fabbionewaiting to be dropped to busybox10:34
Keybukthe fact you hit the timeout is useful10:34
Keybukthat means that we're not mistakenly believing the root filesystem is ready10:34
Keybuk(which was the mdadm and lilo problems10:34
fabbioneyeah if i do manually lvm vgchange -a y and ctrl+d it's all good10:34

Keybuk2) vol_id on the md is failing (probably also false)10:36
Keybuk3) vol_id is working, but not detecting an LVM volume group (this would fail every time)10:36

iwjBut see what Keybuk said.  I don't think we want to ship this.01:26
Keybukfabbione: random question01:27
Keybukdoes booting, waiting for timeout, initramfs shell, then run "udevtrigger" work to make the lvm appear01:27
fabbioneKeybuk: i will check it if it fails at the next reboot01:28
iwjYou're thinking of your while sleep 10 do udevtrigger aren't you ?01:28
fabbioneiwj: your workaround did the trick01:31
fabbionemachine is booting01:31
Keybukiwj: moi? :p01:32
Keybukit's a simple change, with understood results <g>01:32
iwjI think it's a good idea and can we have it in feisty ?01:32
iwj*snort*01:32
Mithrandirfabbione: so  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/d/t makes it all happy for you?01:33
fabbioneMithrandir: yes. of course that requires a few extra changes.. like 65-persistent-rules changes and installing the script in initramfs01:33
Mithrandirok, but this can be worked around from the command line, or just fixed by retrying the boot a few times?01:34
fabbioneit can be worked around from cmdline for me01:34
fabbionei have to issue a lvm vgchange -a y manually01:34
iwjMithrandir: I was referring to Keybuk's insane repeated udevtrigger idea.01:34
fabbioneand it works01:34
fabbionelast test with udevtrigger then i need to grab some food.01:35
Mithrandirfabbione: ok, then I think we should put something about it into "known issues" and put something into -updates to fix this.01:35
iwjMithrandir: Proper fix is a kernel change.01:36

habeebGreetings, good gentlemen.06:38
habeebI created a thread in the forums, but well, I got no answers so I'll just ask here too. Why is there not a dual-boot auto-partitioner by default?06:39
habeebI mean.. it seems like such an easy thing to develop and I bet that it would really help Window to Linux switching.06:39
cjwatsonerr ... there is?06:39
cjwatson"Resize <Windows partition> and use freed space"06:39
cjwatsonit depends on whether automatic resizing is actually possible, which it isn't in all situations, though06:40

=== TomaszD_ [n=tom@unaffiliated/tomaszd] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cjwatsone.g. if you have too many primary partitions already, or not enough free space on a resizable partition, then auto-resize won't be offered06:41
habeebI see.06:41
cjwatsonpre-feisty, if you had more than a couple of GB of free disk space, it wouldn't be offered either; in feisty I decided that that was a mistake and removed that check06:41
cjwatsonmdz: do you still have the installation from bug 106971 lying around?06:44

habeebAnd tell me something else... Because it's been some time since I last used Ubuntu. If I, like, download the Feisty release tomorrow or whenever it comes out, will I have Beryl/Compiz by default in my _ATI_ card?06:44
cjwatsonwe don't have beryl/compiz by default on anything (yet); we ship System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects to let you turn it on06:45
=== vciaglia [n=vciaglia@host223-27-dynamic.17-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel

cjwatson(for example)06:46
habeeband that will download/setup the fglrx drivers, and also install Beryl/Compiz?06:46
habeebI see...06:46
habeebNo well, I'm saying that, because last time I used Ubuntu was in the start of the Edgy era, and I remember many many threads on the forums of people unable to setup DRI and their card correctly, and I'm wondering if the problem is fixed.06:46
cjwatsonSystem -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager for fglrx06:46
