Ahmuckis there a way to install a non-pae kernel for ubuntu server?04:17
kkubasikhey, I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to/with the apt-sync or package diff spec?05:13
kkubasikthere are still specs/wiki pages05:13
kkubasikbut it seems like the code portion was completed some time ago, and I can't see what's holding it back05:14
Burgundaviakkubasik: deployment is an issue05:14
Burgundaviaalthough the major use case is a stable --> stable upgrade05:14
kkubasikahhh05:15
kkubasikthe server-side diffs required?05:15

pwnguinstrange. there's a hoary backports repo still open?07:55
Fujitsupwnguin: I doubt it. Hoary has been dead for 12 months.07:59
pwnguinhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+builds?build_text=&build_state=pending shows several in the queue...08:04
pwnguini should probably write an irssi script to strip edge off of lp urls08:05
Fujitsupwnguin: I presume there has recently been a mass-giveback.08:05
pwnguini guess they could just be stuck in the queue forever as zombies or something08:06
FujitsuAs it was queued in March 2006.08:06
FujitsuNo, they probably failed soon after they were uploaded, and somebody did a mass-giveback which caused everything that has FTBFSed to be retried.08:06
FujitsuAnd they will be probably be there after every mass-giveback in the future, as they don't seem to have died even though hoary did.08:08

hunger_tIs archive.ubuntu.com only updated once a day nowadays? I only get new stuff at the first update I do each day.12:47
Fujitsuhunger_t: It is still updated hourly - there might just be no new stuff for you every hour.12:48

wasabiThere any decent way to have a .deb file initiate an apt-get update and install from an archive? I'm suspecting no.16:16
Ngwasabi: I asked kees about that the other day and the conclusion was that there's no sane way to do it16:17
persiawasabi: Not really.  There are some attempts to make other types of files do that, and there are hacks (see the wrapper packages in multiverse).16:17
Vletassociate the deb with a shell script instead of a binary perhaps?16:18
* keescook is not an expert, so "no sane" may not be true, but certainly not one known to me. :)16:19
wasabiI wonder if a better answer is to have a .deb which drops files into app-install, and uses debconf to instruct the user how to install it.16:19
persiawasabi: What's the use case?16:21
wasabiWell, I've been working on this ThirdPartyApt thing for awhile (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThirdPartyApt)16:21
wasabiAnd some fool gave me the idea that my work was completely useless because I could just have a single .deb file which added a file to sources.list.16:22
wasabiWhich actually didn't seem like a bad idea.16:22
wasabiSo, trying a few things to see if it's a suitable answer.16:22
persiawasabi: Ah.  You could do that in a postinst, but it would be a violation of policy (packages may not alter conffiles of other packages).16:22
persiaYou could perhaps do something with /etc/apt/sources.d/, but that doesn't deem ideal either.16:22
wasabiNo. app-install seems like an intersting answer, though.16:23
wasabiHave a single .deb file which a) configures app-install to offer another channel and b) uses debconf to instruct the user how to install the rest of the package themselves.16:23
bmmDear developers. I've started a blueprint, which needs some discussion. How would one go about getting attention for the subject?16:23
sorenpuppetmaster and mongrel recommend it.16:24
sorenWhoops, wrong channel.16:24
slangasekwasabi: no, there's no sane way at all :)  there's a spec here at UDS about having downloadable apt config snippets that can trigger configuration of new apt sources and autoinstall of particular packages, though16:27
wasabiYes, I know. I wrote it.16:28
wasabior at least I think I did. =)16:28

deadwillmanchicken, better ask on #ubuntu17:55

manchickenI thought that development and package updates might be done in -devel :)17:55

talcitehi guys, I'm interested in getting into ubuntu development. Where can I get some more info?21:42
crimsun_see the topic: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment21:43
talciteI'm a 2nd year comp sci student, so my coding abilities aren't phenomenal, but I can work with the more basic stuff21:43
talcitethanks21:43
talcitehmm... so I'm getting the feeling that the MOTU team is more suited for beginners?21:54
jpatricktalcite: yes21:55
talciteI see. Is there somewhere I can learn more about the MOTU team? What level of coding ability do I need?21:55
crimsun_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing21:56
talcitethanks21:56
BigPickGood afternoon all.23:12
BigPickFollowing up on my work for Bug #107188, I identified some possible errors in the python-apt package.23:15
ubotuLaunchpad bug 107188 in update-manager "[MASTER] [kde] Upgrade tool crashed with " Cannot allocate memory"" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/10718823:15
BigPickI have filed a new bug under the python-apt project (Bug #159638) and included an experimental patch.23:16

wasabiSo if I were to want to actually try to put a few hours into debugging why my laptop can't wake up from sleep mode (blank video), where would I start? As in, what is the most common source of errors, video card drivers, X, shell scripts that kick off?23:21
BigPickI have no idea, that is a toughie.23:22
BigPickSleep issues can be a result of a large number of factors all the way down to the kernel.23:23
BigPickI have never been able to get this laptop to sleep successfully.23:24
somerville32wasabi, I would ask keybuck23:24
pwnguinwasabi: first place to look is the keyboard. does capslock work?23:38
pwnguinwasabi: mjg is apparently rather good at this stuff23:38
