alesando you have any idea how to resolve the urgent bug that when inserting a USB key it gets assigned to a random user instead of all users in the plugdev group?11:20
alesanis there any way to configure this behaviour?11:20
Treenaksalesan: it gets assigned to the user currently logged in locally11:22
alesanTreenaks, unfortunately not, it's random11:23
alesanand the other users on the other displays get an error message not being able to access the device11:23
alesanI have a multiuser system with 7 separate displays11:23
alesanone of those displays (:0.0) is the local video/key/mouse11:24

pittihey seb12811:41
seb128hello pitti11:44
seb128pitti: what do you there on a saturday? ;)11:44
pittiseb128: poor wheather :)11:45
pittiseb128: same question for you11:45
seb128it's raining here as well :/11:45
pittiseb128: I just reviewed Neil Horman's kernel patches for core_pattern improvements (IOW: getting apport to work on upstream kernel)11:45
seb128and I had some rarian questions for upstream so I've decided to start IRC ;)11:45
seb128does it look good?11:46
pittiseb128: they aren't too far from our's, but he uses core_pattern macros instead of environment variables11:46
pittithat's harder to implement, but a bit nicer to use11:46
pittiand I don't care much either way11:46
seb128so you are going to switch to the upstream way?11:48
alesanseb128, I hope I'm not mixing up nicknames, but yesterday I've been told that you could possibly help me on this gnome-volume-manager thing...11:48
pittiseb128: yes, as soon as it's committed upstream, I'll ask BenC to pull those patches and change apport11:49
alesanI basically have many displays other than the "console" and, if I insert a USB stick, its contents will appear on a random display and the device will be mounted with random uid11:49
alesanthe other display will show an error message11:49
seb128alesan: you probably want to speak to pitti about g-v-m11:49
pittialesan: didn't we discuss this yesterday already?11:50
alesanpitti, seb128 ok thank you :) to begin with11:50
alesanpitti, yes we did but, while I manages to "get around" the problem, I only made a ugly script that is not going to really solve the problem11:50
=== luisbg [n=luisbg@157.Red-88-23-103.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
alesanright now I stop g-v-m to start in the session by commenting in out from /usr/share/gnome/default.session11:52
=== Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-devel
alesanand, in /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop I changed the "Exec" to a script that checks the $DISPLAY variable and only starts g-v-m --sm-disable if it is :0.011:52
alesanI see no other way to fix the "random display" thing.11:53
Amarantherr, won't that make gnome-volume-manager only work for the first user?11:53
alesanmoreover, I'd really like to be able to configure the uid or gui mount options. any idea where to look?11:53
seb128Amaranth: why? it should work for the user having the foreground11:53
seb128no?11:54
Amaranthseb128: checking for :0.0 means it'll only work for the first X server11:54
alesanseb128, "having the foreground" means "random" on a multi user system with many displays11:54
seb128alesan: right, but there is no easy way to solve this problem11:54
alesanAmaranth, yes that's the best option I've encountered so far11:54
Amaranthyeah, if you run multiseat i'm not really sure how that could work11:55
alesanseb128, it seems on fedora they check soem /var/xxx/console file to start g-v-m only for that session on the console (first X server)11:55
AmaranthConsoleKit11:55
alesanwhat is that?11:56
alesanthere is no such package with similar name as I can see...11:58
alesando you have at least idea how to let g-v-m mount with gid=plugdev instead of uid=USER ?11:58
pittialesan: it entered gutsy a few days ago11:58
Amaranthalesan: "ConsoleKit is a framework for keeping track of the various users, sessions, and seats present on a system."11:58
pittialesan: you can change the group in the 'drive' or 'volume' properties tab11:58
alesanpitti, after the device is mounted?12:00
pittialesan: no, before12:00
alesanmh12:00
pittialesan: well, mount the device, change options, mount it again12:00
alesanmh12:00
pitti'k, gotta go, cu later12:00
alesanthere are schools in Macedonia that are going to install this system for thousands of users :( this solution is not really simple12:01
=== tkamppeter_ [n=till@bl7-105-2.dsl.telepac.pt] has joined #ubuntu-devel
alesanwhat I do not understand, are the generic mount option of g-v-m hardcoded? isn't there a place to configure?12:08
=== thekorn [n=thekorn@a89-182-93-255.net-htp.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel
seb128alesan: for what sort of device do you want to change the settings?12:11
alesana normal USB stick12:11
seb128alesan: what filesystem?12:11
alesanI suppose the most common are vfat or so12:12
seb128alesan: try gconf-editor, /system/storage/defaults_options12:12
alesanI am preparing a system to be deployed in schools12:12
seb128you can change the gnome-mount options12:12
alesanso I should be as generic as possible12:12
seb128alesan: saturday is not the best day to get replies though, a good part of the distribution team doesn't IRC during the WE12:12
alesanyes :( I know12:13
seb128maybe you should mail ubuntu-devel-discuss12:13

=== mc44 [n=mc44@unaffiliated/mc44] has joined #ubuntu-devel
siretartthe .pc file specifies this as Cflags: -I/usr/include/firefox/nspr07:54

alesan_what are the necessary steps do build a custom version of ubuntu. I mean, I would like to add some software and drivers on the live CD07:55
alesan_I guess there is a svn and a script to prepare the ISO image07:56
asacsiretart: the firefox-nspr.pc file is obsolete07:56
asacsiretart: thus the compatibility link to /usr/include/nspr/nspr.pc07:57
asace.g. thats the solution07:57
asac... which i asked you to test ... or someone else a few days ago07:57
asacbut never received an answer07:57
asaci will do that now in bzr branch07:57
siretartasac: since thre is nothing about that question in lp, I'd think you confuse me with so. else07:58
asacsure07:58
siretartasac: can you then perhaps look at fixing the gxine package?07:58
asaci think so too07:58
asacwhat is the issue?07:58
siretartasac: in debian, it is built against xulrunner, and now I'm quite confused how to fix it in ubuntu07:58
siretartasac: as said in the bugreport, it FTBFS, because it uses firefox-nspr.pc07:59
asacsiretart: if you want to try ... just rm firefox-nspr.pc and firefox-nss.pc and create links to the nss/nspr files instead08:00
asacmaybe it just works then08:00
asacif not i can look08:00
ivoksout of nowhere, why don't we chgrp to dialout on pap|chap-secrets? with rw for group?08:00
siretartasac: I do not know the firefox source at all. not sure how much time it will take for me to figure out what you exacly mean :)08:01
asacsiretart: no i mean08:03
asacjust in install08:03
asacremove the firefox-nspr.pc that is installed08:03
asacand replace it with nspr.pc08:03
CompleteNoobasac: if i wanted to write a 'hello world' for ubuntu...where would i start? what IDE/compiler etc would i use?08:05
CompleteNoobi'm VERY new to programming08:05
asacCompleteNoob: its not really ubuntu specific08:07
asace.g. more linux/unix08:07
asacin general: use and editor + the compiler of your choice08:07
siretartCompleteNoob: this channel is not about general development, but development of ubuntu. you should try a more focused channel08:07
CompleteNoobsirestart, could u reccomend a chan i could check out?08:08
asacCompleteNoob: go to a channel dedicated for the programming language you want to use08:08
