vlowtherquick question:  when did Hardy switch from the old /etc/acpi power management scripts to using hal/pm-suspend and friends?02:53
mjg59When hal 0.5.10 got uploaded02:53
vlowther... a couple of days ago, I assume?  I need to tell pm-suspend to stop messing with the video adaptor (nvidia on a laptop does not appreciate something else posting it or messing with VBE) -- where are those conf files?02:55
mjg59No, a couple of months ago02:55
mjg59Using the non-free driver?02:56
vlowtherof course.  It does not work at all with nv. :/02:56
mjg59It's likely that we should just leave things up to the nvidia kernel module if it's loaded02:56

pittislangasek: hysterical raisins; I'm just at fixing that08:03
slangasekok :)08:04
pittiso we'll soon have just 4.2 and 4.608:04
slangasek\o/08:05
pittiwe might ignore the performance issue on openldap and just convert that to 4.6, too, but I'd rather have Debian's consent for that08:05
slangasekpitti: I think that's a pretty poor trade-off in an LTS, given how much attention there was on LDAP at UDS08:06
pittiright08:06
slangasekwe've more or less decided in Debian to postpone the switch to db4.6 for OpenLDAP until there's a resolution of the performance issue, which I'm told is pretty severe08:07
pittiI read it in the bug, yeah (factor 2 on some operations)08:07
slangasekhmm, should get around to uploading that one of these days though so we can knock libldap2 off the todo list :)08:08

slangasekbut the openldap2 package is abandonware :P08:10

* slangasek nods08:11
slangasekhmm, you've switched cyrus-sasl2?  does that mean the compatibility issues have been resolved?08:13
pittislangasek: which issues? it doesn't use transactions?08:14
pittis/?$//08:14
pittidoko_: what does expect-tcl8.3 [!none !hurd-i386] mean? (gcj-4.2 b-dep); can we drop expect-tcl8.3 now?08:14
pittislangasek: in the Debian bug, the DDs didn't generally object to switching08:15
pittislangasek: Russ just confirmed that db4.6 should perform better for cyrus than 4.208:15
doko_pitti: yes, we can08:16
pittidoko_: anastacia wants it to come back due to that b-dep08:16

pittiah, ok; I thought you did already08:17

slangasekpitti: there were some concerns specific to compatibility with cyrus-sasl2 raised by folks involved with cyrus-sasl2 maintenance; I'm trying to find a reference08:18
slangasekI don't know why there wasn't an open bug report against cyrus-sasl2 requesting the switch08:18
slangasek(other than people being sloppy because they hate me)08:19

slangasekpitti: infuriatingly, I'm not finding anything about sasl/db as far back as 2005 in the mail archive; so I guess we may as well go with it and watch for any bug reports08:43
slangasekdoko: it "works", but it means expect-tcl8.3 is a build-dep on all archs; which is the behavior you suggested should be "fixed" in anastacia...?08:50
dokoslangasek: yes, that was the meaning I intended; anyway, we don't run the testsuites on hppa anymore, and therefore it's dropped (until lamont fixes expect on hppa)08:52
ArelisHi all. I made a script in bash that downloads stuff from youtube, pulling all the files from a list, and then gives you the option to convert it to OGG or MP3. Can anybody turn that into a full-fledged, graphical program? This is the script: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50688/08:59

pittidoko: there's an ubuntu-archive bug about this transition; yes, I plan to get rid of ungif09:01
ChipzzArelis: 1) this channel is about development of ubuntu, not with (see topic); not 100% sure, but #ubuntu-motu may be a little more appropriate; 2) mplayer has synchronisation issues with .flv files, not sure if you care about that; 3) no offence meant, but your script looks like a real hack to me (launching nautilus??)09:06
ArelisChipzz: it still is hacky. That's why i want someone else to turn it into a full-fledged program. And sorry, somebody in #ubuntu-offtopic pointed me here.09:08

_MMA_tkamppeter: calc was working on some issues when I talked to him last.16:33
tkamppetercalc? Are you here?16:34
tkamppeteris anyone of you using an up-to-date Hardy with OOo? How did youy proceed to set it up?16:35
stgrabertkamppeter: execute soffice, then open your document16:35
tkamppeterSo I do the "apt-get dist-upgrade" and after it has removed the two OOo packages "soffice" is still there?16:36
stgrabertkamppeter: IIRC, yes :)16:40
stgrabertkamppeter: I remember of a dist-upgrade removing tons of OpenOffice packages but soffice still working after that16:40
stgrabertkamppeter: but I did that dist-upgrade at least a week ago (probably two)16:40
tkamppeterstgraber thank you, I have set up a new laptop by installing a Gutsy live CD and now I am upgrading it to Hardy, to use it for the Ubuntu development.16:42
tkamppeterDoes this also mean that the OOo packages in question were not present on Alpha 2?16:43
stgraberwell, ubuntu-desktop depends on -writer, -calc, -gnome and -impress16:45
stgraberthose are installed so everything is fine16:45
stgraberwhat isn't is openoffice.org itself as it depends on openoffice.org-base which causes a conflict (libhsqldb-java)16:46
tkamppeterAnd what are openoffice.org and openoffice.org-base good for then?16:48
stgraberlooks like openoffice.org-base is broken (or libhsqldb-java), so ones this one is fixed you should be able to install openoffice.org and all its depends16:50
tkamppeterstgraber, do you know which functionality of OOo is in the packages openoffice.org-base and openoffice.org?16:58
stgraberit's the base interface IIRC (sort of Access-like module)16:59
tkamppeterSo it is only for databases?16:59
stgraberI think so (never played with that part of OOo)17:00

ScottKion_: Even if they released different versions, if you don't run the latest, you're stuck with multiple unfixed security bugs.20:27
ion_scottk: The Ubuntu package isn’t going to be able to download the latest package *anyway* until it gets updated as well. That leaves a period of time when flashplugin-nonfree is not installable.20:44
ion_(Since it gets the “wrong” tarball from the site)20:44
ScottKTrue.20:45
ScottKI suppose that it one good reason.20:46
ScottKIf course not installable makes the SRU justification easier ;-)20:46
persiaScottK: Well, yes, except for regression risks (like the current konqueror breakage)20:47

ubotuLaunchpad bug 180157 in debian-installer "XFS root filesystem - install fails with "noexec or nodev" error" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18015721:51
\shevery partition of my system is xfs, but not /boot so I'm fcked21:52
persiaUm.  Shouldn't the install fail when trying to push to noexec?  I'd think nodev also.21:52
slangasekclearly, the install does fail? :)21:54
\shslangasek: the install does fail....check the bugreport...I added now debootstrap to it...21:54

\shor do I understand this errormsg not correctly...and it needs noexec, nodev? ,-)21:55
slangasekif you try to run "mknod /home/shermann/test-dev-null c 1 3" directly, you get that same error I guess?21:56
\shno21:57
slangasekit needs to not have either of noexec and nodev21:57
slangasekif the xfs filesystem defaults have changed, that's nutty, but in that case you could try mounting it with "exec,dev"21:57
slangasek\sh: you /don't/ get that error?21:58
* persia is confused, and suspects xfs trickery21:58
\shslangasek: doing the mknod I don't get any error...but I think I need to check the $?21:58
slangasekso do you get a different error, or a successful device creation?21:58
\shslangasek: there is no device created..so I think it returns $?=1 (me needs to check)21:58
slangasekyou should get an error message if it fails, AFAIK21:59
\shslangasek: no..the error message comes from debootstrap...mknod failes silently it seems21:59
slangasekfor that matter, if I remount my ext3 /home with "nodev", I can still create devices, I just can't use them :)22:00
\shslangasek: well, fact is, /home or /var are not mounted with noexec,nodev, so when I do a -o remount,exec,dev I only see in my mount output "(rw)" ... now trying the other way around22:01
\shyuck...una momenta22:01
\shok...22:02
\shnow...mknod works22:02
\shdevice is created22:02
persia\sh: patch XFS to have sane defaults :)22:02
\shbut /usr/share/debootstrap/functions: check_sane_mounts() doesn't work22:03
slangasekwhat did you have to change to get the device created?22:03
\shslangasek: mount /home/ -o remount,exec,dev22:03
\shbut by default it's already exec,dev22:04
slangasekand yet somehow not? :)22:04
\shslangasek: mknod /home/shermann/hardy_chroot/test-dev-null c 1 3 works as expected...(the first time I checked in the wrong dir)22:04
slangasekah22:05
\shslangasek: but inside debootstrap it doesn't work somehow...I have to check why not...trying to play with the code in check_sane_mounts manually22:05
