superm1slangasek, did you ever manage to get those changes merged into cdimage?02:44
slangaseksuperm1: now I have... :)03:22
superm1slangasek, yay :)03:23
superm1slangasek, so with space being a commodity, would it be feasible to only ever keep one image of ours at a given time?03:23
superm1slangasek, or will we have to wait until cdimage gains more hard drives?03:24
slangaseksuperm1: currently the etc/purge-days script has a single rule for all daily alternate images; I've made a policy change already that gives us a little more space though, so mythbuntu should fit in ok03:25
superm1slangasek, wonderful :)03:25
superm1slangasek, we're not going to explore doing the livecd via livecd-rootfs for some time, to that will work great03:26
TheMusosuperm1: You guys are getting images done via cdimage for mythbuntu? Awesome!03:34

RAOFipw doesn't work anymore, right?  I don't have the non-free daemon anymore, certainly.04:38
RAOFOr whatever it was keeping ipw in -restricted.04:38
Hobbseestrange.04:39
RAOFI suppose it depends on what you mean by "working".  My LED is _on_.  It doesn't seem to turn off when I hit the killswitch, though :)04:39
RAOFI've just never noticed this, because I treat the killswitch as basically a way to accidentally break my networking.04:40
StevenK"accidentally" ? :-)04:40
RAOFIt's in a place where I *can* accidentally brush against it.  Or removing the laptop from a bag, or...04:40
HobbseeRAOF: ah right.  mine's always off, killswitch or not04:40
RAOFHobbsee: Yay for crazy non-standard laptops.  Standards are for _pussies_!04:41

pwnguinits a bit sad though04:49
pwnguiniwl is a much bigger powertop offender than ipw04:49

RAOFAs far as I can tell.04:54
pwnguinhave you tried 180?04:54
RAOFNo, I don't think so.04:54
RAOFOh, actually, yes I have.04:54
RAOFProbably.  I played around with "mirror x", "mirror y", "mirror xy" at one point.04:55
RAOFSomewhere in that playing I probably managed a 180 rotation :)04:55
pwnguinnot quite the same04:56
RAOFTry it yourself, then :)04:56
pwnguinim considering it04:56
RAOFI can even play OpenArena on nouveau :)04:57
pwnguinheh04:57
pwnguini'd be more interested in the crack attacks and gunroars04:57
* StevenK remembers submitting debugging information about his card to the nouveau guys on RAOF's insistance04:57
RAOF:)04:58
pwnguinRAOF: does your ppa still have nouveau up for testing?04:58
RAOFYup.04:58
RAOFI should work out the module-assistant magic required to make this useful for Debian and push it into experimental.04:58
RAOFStevenK: And in return, the randr12 code probably properly handles your chip :)05:01
StevenKRAOF: Heh. Come back to me when Nouveau is in Ubuntu and handles WoW, and I'll switch :-)05:02
RAOFStevenK: I've tried, it doesn't quite yet :P05:02
StevenKRAOF: It doesn't run, or it looks wierd?05:04
RAOFIt won't be in Ubuntu until DRI2 is stable, probably.05:04
RAOFStevenK: Doesn't run.  There's still a bunch of unimplemented stuff in gallium, would you believe it? :)05:04
StevenKHeh05:04
RAOFAlthough I also had to fight with my additional 32bits, so it's possible (but unlikely) that an i386 install would have better luck.05:06

ArneGoetjeRiddell: If you use "System Default" as antialiasing setting in KDE, it will probably fall back to fontconfig. However, hinting and antialiasing is not enabled by default in fontconfig.09:23

pittiah, right10:01
pittiso the bug is merely about making it much easier, not making it totally automatic?10:02

mjj29installed, but not enabled by default is probably reasonable10:02

* pitti hugs seb128, merci10:36
seb128pitti: but are you sure it's not a ntfs3g issue?10:37
seb128pitti: man rmdir on hardy doesn't list EEXIST as a valid codecase10:37
pittiseb128: well, you can argue that ntfs3g should throw the errno as described in the Linux manpage of rmdir10:37
pittiseb128: but since the unix spec says otherwise, I see the point of ntfs3g doing it otherwise10:37
=== ArneGoet1e is now known as ArneGoetje
seb128why should we trust the unix specs rather than the ubuntu rmdir one?10:38
pitti"NTFS-3G uses EEXIST because more software handle the relevant error scenario better that way. Seemingly that doesn't include Nautilus." -> I can't really validate this, but it should be considered at least10:39
pittiseb128: well, rmdir() on ext3 just returns ENOTEMPTY exclusively, no doubt10:40
pittibut it doesn't actively say "rmdir must not return anything else"?10:40
ArneGoetjeRiddell: in that case, the fontconfig package needs to be patched.10:40

seb128pitti: well, if you can't trust the manpage ...10:41
pittiseb128: I don't have a strong opinion on doing either, but in the principle of being tolerant with inputs and strict with outputs I tend to fix nautilus10:41
seb128well, I'll discuss it with alex10:42

pittiogra_cmpc: hwdb2?10:53
Hobbseepitti: i thought your comment after reverted that, saying it was in a ppa, so that was OK10:53
cjwatsonseb128: if SUSv3 documents things that aren't mentioned in the Ubuntu rmdir manual page, you should trust SUSv3 rather than the manual page because many more people were involved in reviewing SUSv3 and it applies to more operating systems. If the manual page explicitly mentioned a deviation from SUSv3 then that might be a different matter, but it doesn't10:53
ogra_cmpcpitti, the thing liw and cr3 work on10:54
ogra_cmpc(they didnt change the gui much though)10:54

cjwatson"Only members of the 'fuse' group are permitted to use userspace file systems, since this is a powerful facility that has not been completely audited for safety."15:12
cjwatsonsomething like that?15:12
cjwatsonI think the installer goes for "file system" rather than "filesystem" consistently15:13

cjwatsonogra: title> "Using userspace file systems"15:14
ograthanks ...15:14
cjwatsonalthough "userspace" is still jargon; I'm not sure how far we can go given that the whole thing is fundamentally jargon15:14
ograi'd really rather formulate it positive ... like "to gain you conntrol over access of ..." or so15:14
ogra*control15:14
cjwatsonactually, the obvious flaw in all of this is that if you don't know what fuse is then you have no idea what it grants you access to15:15
ograinstead of implying its not safe15:15
ograright15:15
jdongcjwatson: well presumably someone who's just installed fuse-utils should know what it is?15:15
cjwatsonso it needs some examples, like NTFS, sshfs, etc.15:15
jdongah, examples would be nice :)15:15
cjwatsonjdong: not given that it's installed by default, no15:15
jdongoh I totally forgot about ntfs-3g by default15:15
ograjdong, you will get the note on upgrades15:15
cjwatsonogra: perhaps drop the bit about auditing but still include "powerful" in the text, which gives users a hint why it's not available across the board15:16
jdongogra: should we instead make the fuse frontends display this message?15:16
ograjdong, every single one ? that would get annoying if you have multiple ones installed15:17
ograi.e. i have ltspfs here, sshfs, through the default install i get ntfs3g ....15:18

ograthe repititive "access" isnt good though15:20
cjwatsonit also needs more punctuation15:20
ograyeah, i suck at that15:20
ograbut something in that spirit combined with your explanation15:21
cjwatson"By default, only the first user is allowed to work with virtual file systems. To grant access to other users, add them to the 'fuse' group."15:21

cjwatsonor something along those lines15:21
mjg59I think "virtual file systems" is potentially confusing15:22
cjwatsonaye15:22
mjg59As well as being inaccurate :)15:22
cjwatsonas it happens, I was quoting 'apt-cache show fuse-utils'15:22
mjg59Heh15:23

CyberSnooP"create userspace file systems" or "use userspace file systems"?15:35
cjwatsonCyberSnooP: "mount", really, except that's more jargon. You can use a fuse filesystem mounted by another user without needing to be in the fuse group yourself.15:40
CyberSnooPyeah, the whole thing is leaning toward jargon anyway so I guess there is no easy way to get it right.15:41

KeybukI like to think that the kernel is not silly enough to discard writes when it feels like it16:27

keescookI'd tend to agree.  :)16:28
Keybukhad an interesting experience the other day along those lines actually16:30
Keybukhad copied lots of stuff onto USB storage device16:30
Keybukand shutdown the machine16:30
Keybukand as it was going down thought "hey, I wonder whether it's actually going to finish writing and unmount that"16:30
Keybukhappily it stopped at "Will now halt..." sufficiently long that usplash timed out16:30
Keybuk(it amuses me that halt() appears to not actually stop processes)16:31
Keybukand after a short while, powered off16:31
Keybukso it must have been writing out to the disk still16:31
keescookso it correctly sync'd then?16:31
mjg59Yes, filesystems are synced before the machine is halted16:31
keescookkernel ftw16:32
Keybukmjg59: it seems they mostly are16:37
Keybukwe think we found a couple of cases where they may not have been16:37
Keybukbut didn't follow them up yet16:37
mjg59device_shutdown() isn't called until after that, to the best of my knowledge16:37
KeybukI'm pretty sure one of them involved the ide subsystem, so was irrelevant16:37
mjg59That was cache flushing, no?16:38
Keybukerr, can't remember; you could possibly be right16:38
mjg59The filesystem stuff is at the VFS and block device level16:39
mjg59Hardware subsystems then need to make sure that writes have actually hit the disk16:39
* mjg59 goes out16:39
Keybukah, you're absolutely right16:39
ogracjwatson, hmm, did you ever notice the " #!/bin/bash -e" at the top of the fuse-utils.postinst ?16:42
* ogra doesnt see any bashisms in there that would justify it 16:43
cjwatsonogra: I don't see any bashisms either. I imagine it was there before I touched it and I never bothered changing it16:47

zyx386the 99% kurdish website used this fonts as standard23:35
zyx386Unikurd Web23:35
slangasekthe encoding for a webpage, and the encoding for a font, do not have to be the same in order for them to be used compatibly23:36
slangasekit's only required that the system *know* the encoding of each, and know how to map between the encodings23:36
ScottKhttp://www.omniglot.com/writing/kurdish.htm seems to show that standard Arabic fonts should be adequate.23:37
