pittihi tkamppeter09:35
carlosseb128: found the problem. It's not exactly what I thought. We approved its .pot file last 20th February so that's why we didn't get any translation in language pack until then09:35

ogra_cmpcpitti, right10:55
ogra_cmpcpitti, on;ly the first user is in the group by default10:55
pittiogra_cmpc: also "only the first user" is slightly misleading10:55

pittiI'm uid 1000 and not in fuse10:56
ogra_cmpci'm open for suggestions10:56

ogra_cmpcbecause you upgraded ...10:56
ogra_cmpccolin changed it yesterday iirc10:56

cjwatsonthat's a fair point10:57
ogra_cmpcright10:57
cjwatson*old* first users won't be in that group10:57
pittiwhat actually changed? I mean, ntfs-3g worked OOTB before10:57
ogra_cmpcpitti, nothing ... buut we have tons of bugs because admins dont get the concept that they need to add the users to fuse10:58
pittiseb128: oh, btw, auto-mount of encrypted partitions now works again; thank you!10:58
pittiogra_cmpc: ah, ok10:58
zdzichuBGfedora just discussed dropping fuse group altogether10:58
pittiogra_cmpc: so it sounds much scarier than it actually is :)10:59
ogra_cmpcso either you add all users by default or notify the admin somehow10:59
seb128pitti: thanks for testing, and that's upstream who did the work but good to know it's working ;-)10:59
ogra_cmpci'm open for better text suggestions indeed :)10:59

jdong/home/jdong/irclogs/FreeNode/#ubuntu-devel.2007-11-28.log.txt:17:31 < lamont> jdong: if I upload current git-core to dapper-gutsy backports, will you let it in?  1.4 has an absolutely sucky interface.  And, yes, 1.5 is a UI change of some significance.  OTOH, I haven't met anyone who prefers it...13:38
\shasac: lightning should show up in thunderbird after apt-get install lightning-extension right?13:38
jdong^^ :)13:38
lamontjdong: guilty as charged.13:38
jdonghehe13:39
lamontslangasek: when you wake up, please either shove git-core forward from dapper-backports until it's older, or tell me what to do. kthx. :-)13:39
jdongslangasek: I'll request git-core hardy->gutsy soon too (that only works for gutsy, older FTBFSes)13:40
asac\sh: if you use the ubuntu thunderbird, yes.13:41
\shasac: hmm...it doesn't13:41
asac\sh: is lightning in any of vi /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/*/install.rdf13:42
\shyeah13:42
\shjust blame me...because I installed it on my homeserver and not on my local desktop..too many terminal error13:43

cjwatsonmvo: is there a way to ask apt-get to *only* perform list cleanup, and not do the other network access implied by 'apt-get update'?13:55
cjwatsonmvo: this is for commenting out 'deb cdrom' entries at the end of the installation. It actually looks like I can just comment it out of sources.list and not bother running 'apt-get update'. Is that reliable?14:01
mvocjwatson: yes, if you comment it out apt will ignore it even if its still available in the lists/ directory14:07
cjwatsonok, sounds like I can get rid of one time-consuming step then, cool14:07

ScottKsistpoty|work: My guess would be that any upload of eclipse is at least as scary as an upstream feature release for most packages.15:18
sistpoty|workScottK: heh, might be true15:19
jdongScottK: touching eclipse is always scary :)15:20
jdongIMO it wouldn't hurt to separate the eclipse platform from the eclipse IDE...15:21
* ScottK knows. Has uploaded it before.15:21
pittisistpoty|work: previously ubuntu-release was subscribed, but it's an universe package; but now, looking at the version number, there are probably no new features15:21
pittishould have checked before, sorry15:21
sistpoty|workpitti: np... just thought you might have a special reason ;)15:21
jdongScottK: do you think I'll have mobs and riots after me if I were to, for hardy+1, bundle a SWT source with azureus that upstream blesses?15:22
jdonglol15:22
jdongI bet yes15:22
sorencjwatson: The "required" seed lists essential packages... I'm a bit unsure about whether it defines it or just documents it?15:23
* ScottK sees SWT, smells Java and passes out from apathy.15:23
jdonglol15:23
sistpoty|workScottK: I've unsubsribed motu-release from eclipse bug :)15:24
cjwatsonsoren: essential is a subset of required that isn't in fact listed in any seed but is in debian/control files15:28
cjwatsonsoren: it's a bug if anything is essential but not in the required seed; but essential is changed so rarely that this is basically ok15:28
sorencjwatson: Ah, ok. I somehow got the idea that launchpad used the info from the seeds to set the Essential: field.15:29
sorencjwatson: Is that perhaps the case for build-essential?15:29

Mithrandirwhat's our reason for not having traceroute in ubuntu-standard?15:36
jdongMithrandir: I believe traceroute requires root to be effective while tracepath doesn't?15:36

* Keybuk uses mts15:37
jdongi.e. unknown route via tracepath while traceroute tends to get it right15:37
Keybukmtr even15:37
pittiMithrandir: we have mtr?15:37
sorenMithrandir: We have tracepath instead, don't we?15:38

cjwatsonsoren: for build-essential, yes, it is15:40
sorencjwatson: Ah, ok. Thanks!15:41
Mithrandirpitti: some old unix geeks are complaining about not having traceroute, I guess it's more about finger macros than anything else.15:45
pittiMithrandir: I agree; took me a bit to get the s/traceroute/mtr/ into my brain, too15:45
Mithrandirpitti: it feels a bit heavyweight to provide a wrapper in mtr, but we could think of something along those lines.15:46
pittiMithrandir: like an alternative?15:46
Mithrandiryeah, for instance.15:46
Mithrandirshould be done in coordination with Debian if so15:47

Keybukhmm15:57
Keybukhow do you get pbuilder to accept its own result directory as a source of build-dependencies?15:57
sistpoty|workKeybuk: I'm not sure that would work w.o. a local apt-repository, as iirc pbuilder uses apt to satisfy the build deps16:00
jpatrickgenerating a "Packages" file there and adding deb file://.... to sources.list?16:00
jpatrickthat's what prevu does for these kind of things16:01
Keybukhow do you add something to its sources.list?16:01
