=== gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak === kitterma is now known as ScottK2 [01:00] Is somebody coordinating the libffi4 -> libffi5 transition? [02:14] has anyone worked with germinate and could tell me why when I list a metapackage as a seed it doesn't say I need the metapackage? [02:19] does anyone know of an easy way to take a list of packages, and ensure that all dependecies are satisfied by some archive, specifically the archive that is present on the install CD. what I am trying to do is starting from the server install cd for hardy, add a bunch of custom build packages to the cd, and ensure that I can install the system (including any packages on the CD) without a network connection [02:20] i have an idea [02:20] piuparts [02:22] just make sure the piuparts chroot has identical packages to the server cd [02:23] that looks interesting, not sure it is exactly what I am looking for though. [02:24] i think from looking around, I may have to come up with my own script to verify this, which while not hard is just time consuming to get correct. I think I should be able to utilize things like apt-rdepends and such to retrieve all dependencies and also dpkg --info [02:54] heya ppl [04:31] Has anyone installed linux on a E-Vectra system( terminal box) ?? I keep getting blank screens [04:32] I am trying to get ANY linux distro to run on these boxes to build a public wifi network :) === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [05:17] not yet .. :) I am About to though :) [05:23] is it me, or is http://packages.ubuntu.com not working very well right now? === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [05:27] dmb: perhaps not. The guy that runs it is looking for a new place to host it [05:27] perhaps his server went down for a bit === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [07:35] * jdong reads arnieboy's comments about mjg59 a few times... sure that he is misreading it repeatedly. [07:52] jdong: link? [07:53] http://www.getautomatix.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2424&view=findpost&p=6331 [07:53] pwnguin: a bit disturbing.\ [07:54] but par for course [07:57] heh [07:57] I just read that [07:59] * pwnguin suggests that mvo offer the next "design review" ;) [08:02] kinda reminds me of that guy who came in a few days ago accusing apt-rsync detractors as unforward thinking, selfish and unempathetic [08:05] jdong: sounds like good crack! [08:06] jdavies: right, so he still didn't learn :( [08:08] jdong: then again, do you really expect any better from a 'kill -9 dpkg'er? [08:23] hey [08:29] hi [08:41] quiet day? [08:42] it's a sunday, so yes [08:42] and launchpad had been down [08:42] ah === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson [09:08] jdong: ... wow. === hunger_t is now known as hunger [10:42] Hi all [10:43] Please could somebody help me, I am looking for a system call or an API that I can use to get the model name of all the network cards inside a ubuntu box, does anybody know how i could do this? [10:47] lspci? [10:47] or perhaps lshw [10:49] yeah I was thinking that. Although i would like to resolve it to an interface name so I could get the IP address etc for it. [10:49] ifconfig [10:51] yeah but that doesnt give the manufacturer and model does it? [10:52] so glue them together [10:53] or perhaps lshal [10:54] Yeah i looked at hal and was looking at the API for it, looked rather complicated, so I may just use a g_spawn_command_line_sync instead [11:15] does anybody know how i can get started on developing applications for ubuntu? [11:17] matty3269: like every other development for linux [11:36] !develop | matty3269 [11:36] matty3269: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [11:38] bimberi, thanks [11:38] matty3269: yw [11:39] hi, it seems that packages.ubuntu.com is down [11:42] mathrick: #canonical-sysadmin might be a good place to report that [11:42] ok [11:42] mathrick: feel free to point at me if that's wrong :) [11:43] ok :) [11:43] also, what on earth happened to hal-device-manager in hardy? [11:43] it disappeared completely, not even the package is there [12:09] Germinate is still writing to germinate-output/$DISTRO.hardy [12:56] mathrick: it's called gnome-device-manager now === Shely_ is now known as Shely === Shely_ is now known as Shely === asac_ is now known as asac [13:52] Anyone around with a laptop with a geforce 8000 or greater? (Not a Dell or Thinkpad) [14:17] Keybuk: oh' === happinessturtle is now known as nenolod [15:12] hi, everyone! where could I get my first task ? [15:24] cody-somerville: thanks, I'll fix that [15:24] :) [15:25] cody-somerville: just hadn't changed it since the archive wasn't in place yet when I was last poking at that stuff [15:25] * cody-somerville nods. [15:25] will be fixed next crontab run [15:25] 2 */4 * * * update-germinate === sebner_ is now known as sebner [17:13] doko: ping, mind if I attempt to merge john ? [17:44] mjg59: got a nvidia 8600 here. [17:50] xhaker: What machine? [18:19] Does anyone have any ideas how I could track down the cause of a weird issue with keyboard preferences being ignored? [18:33] mjg59: LG r500 [18:34] mjg59: sorry for the delay, want me to try something? having problems? [18:34] xhaker: Can you do acpidump and stick the output somewhere? [19:00] why isn't MoM being updated? [19:01] maybe it got stuck [19:02] hi doko [19:07] * xhaker really needs to get notifications for irssi [19:09] xhaker: http://pthree.org/2007/03/21/irssi-gui-notify/ [19:11] mjg59: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11465/ [19:14] t4g: thanks for the link. I might try to setup that. [19:15] xhaker: Ok, thanks for that [19:16] xhaker: np [19:23] heya people [19:34] pochu: it's not MoM, it's the actual Ubuntu archive [19:37] Keybuk: I guess Colin or somebody is aware of it? :) [19:37] Keybuk: btw do you know when MoM will have comments support? It's being done, right? [19:44] pochu: I was told it just needed to get merged in [20:00] pochu: elmo is aware of it [20:00] LaserJock: it also needs a bunch of support on the machine like mod_python [20:00] and a security audit since it's running from the DC [20:00] I've been monumentally busy, so haven't had a chance yet [20:00] it's on my things to do during relaxed hours at UDS [20:02] Keybuk: ah, makes sense [21:18] why libsamplerate hasn't been updated? [21:20] I mean I think it should [21:21] Skiessi: its a merge [22:34] ok, so what's changed in g-p-m/hal in hardy-proposed, that my laptop now suspends to ram when idle only when the lid is /open/? [22:35] ehrm... [22:35] heh [22:42] slangasek: Nothing AFAICT (No gpm package and HAL seems unrelated). It's seemed to me that suspend has gotten more problematic since release, but I'm not sure where to point. [22:47] ScottK: i had a guy in #ubuntu-kernel git-bisect and he came up with a watchdog timer commit [22:47] pwnguin: You mean for hal? [22:48] no =/ [22:48] OK. 'cause the hal change is a timer change. [22:48] interesting [22:49] But it's a change for CD ROM detection. I can't see how that would affect suspend [22:50] unfortunately, I lent out my laptop, and it suffered from a suspend bug [22:50] for ages. ive never been able to suspend it
