=== dj-fu grudgingly copies all of the installed php files

shawarmadj-fu: Just symlink it?12:13

[miles] morning guys10:26
[miles] I've put apt-proxy on a 6.06LTS server10:26
[miles] it's working for the clients that are feisty10:26
[miles] but for edgy clients, nope10:26
[miles] :-\10:26

Kamping_Kaiser[miles] , are you sure your sources are set correctly for edgy on the apt-proxy/client, and are you sure the mirror your pointing to is currently online/working?11:13
[miles] yep11:14
[miles] there correct11:14
Kamping_Kaiserso if you let the edgy system connect directly to the repository it works/11:14
[miles] nod11:14
[miles] it just waits for headers on the client11:16
[miles] and it's not logging anything to the server11:17

Kamping_Kaiserhm?12:10
[miles] boot it with a live cd12:11
[miles] and mount it rw no?12:11
Kamping_Kaiserthers a way to remount on the fly, i was thinking someone might know12:11
[miles] mount -w12:11
[miles] well if the partition is in use, you can't unmount it12:12
[miles] obviously12:12
Kamping_Kaiserwell the kernel managed, so i think i should be able to as well12:12
[miles] personally I find the best live cd for shit like this is GRML12:12
[miles] then just mount -w /dev/sdaXX /mnt12:13
Kamping_Kaiserhm.12:14
[miles] nada mas12:14
[miles] I would'nt recommend actually having the system running if the HD is giving errors mate12:14
[miles] no way jose12:14
Kamping_Kaiseri dont have spare 40 gig drives, unfortunately12:15
[miles] for what?12:16
[miles] I'm saying..12:16
[miles] boot a live cd, and then go about finding out whats up with the partition12:16
Kamping_Kaiserto replace the one thats failing.12:16
[miles] is it genuinlly fucked tho?12:16
[miles] do you feel confident it's really got bad errors12:16
Kamping_Kaiserno, i think its just a filesystem thing.12:17
Kamping_Kaisersince it only does this when it tries writing certain files 12:17
[miles] then12:18
[miles] do what I said12:18

mzunguHi all, not sure if this is the appropriate chan - but here goes:  i've a dapper server, with a telephony card, and am trying to install bayonne.  I have a customised ver, which compiled no probs on the old server, but i get errors when compiling on dapper - ok, step back - let's try the dapper version - sudo apt-get source bayonne - sudo apt-get build-dep bayonne - and this also has the same failure, which i find strange as surely th01:44
Kamping_Kaiserwhats the error (and are we missing some of that comment?)01:46
mzunguok - and no, i just meant my q is long ;)01:47
mzungubayonne.h:2084: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of Conference with no type01:47
Kamping_Kaiserso the source downloads ok, but wont build? thats a bug then probably (if its the source from ubuntu)01:48
mzungui understand the error is caused by declaring type out of a block, but that would mean modifying a mass of code01:48
mzunguwhich i can't believe is the case01:48
mzunguyeah - i get the same error with both my source and the standard ubuntu source01:49
Kamping_Kaiserbetter file a bug then01:50
mzungu:(01:50
Kamping_Kaiser:(01:50
mzungui was hoping it was me doing something stupid (usually the case ;) )01:50
Kamping_Kaiserfrom what you describe its not, but i couldnt say for sure ;)01:51
mzunguhave you tried compiling a std ubuntu source pkg? or anybody on chan? - i figure this must be a common prob01:52
Kamping_Kaiseri have built from source yes. quite a few packages.01:52
Kamping_Kaiserfirefox+thunderbird+hals gui+others01:53
Kamping_Kaiserand apt-get build dep app; apt-get source app worked a treat01:53
mzunguyeah - i also built the telephony card driver from source with no prob01:53
Kamping_Kaiserwhat release was that?01:53
mzungui wonder if i'm missing a dependancy01:54
Kamping_Kaiseri'd bet on yoru compiler myself.01:54
mzunguthe server? dapper01:54
Kamping_Kaiserlooks like (to a non-coder) that ISO C++ is being treated differently this time to when it worked01:54
mzunguyeah - but i wonder how the binary got into dapper universe?01:55
mzungusurely the souce was compiled on dapper?01:55
Kamping_Kaisernot sure what the buildd's run, but the packages are meant to be biult in a clean chroot each time01:56
mzunguah well01:56
=== Kamping_Kaiser forgets whats the app is called
mzunguyes, i saw that - debootstrap?01:57

slackwarelifekjaer 11:27
shawarmaThe basic idea is that each plugins define a number of fields that it needs for configuration. These fields will be presented on the web, and the plugin will generate configuration files. The web interface will handle conflicts (in case of manual edits) in a clever way.11:27
