| RAOF | Heh. What broke now? | 08:49 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: ? | 08:49 |
| pwnguin | debconf? | 08:52 |
| RAOF | No, you just need to upgrade findutils :) | 08:52 |
| RAOF | A second round of full-upgrade should result in magical unicorns. | 08:53 |
| pwnguin | ? | 08:53 |
| pwnguin | i didnt even have findutils installed | 08:53 |
| pwnguin | but it does appear to fix whatever troubles | 08:54 |
| RAOF | Yeah. | 08:54 |
| RAOF | Do you have a cryptroot setup? If so, does it work? :) | 08:55 |
| pwnguin | i do not | 08:55 |
| pwnguin | im sorry, you'll have to ford that river yourself :P | 08:55 |
| pwnguin | i like the changelog to findutils | 08:56 |
| RAOF | I haven't seen it. Edited highlights? | 08:56 |
| pwnguin | findutils (4.4.0-2ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low | 08:56 |
| pwnguin | * No-change rebuild. Last Friday, xargs suddenly broke for no apparent | 08:56 |
| pwnguin | reason, and equally mystically a local build works again. | 08:56 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, new gnome-volume-control looks nice... except for the rather too large buttons on the bottom. | 08:56 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: That's *awesome*! | 08:57 |
| pwnguin | its exactly what i saw though | 08:57 |
| pwnguin | installing debconf choked on xargs assertion errors | 08:59 |
| RAOF | Yup. | 08:59 |
| DanaG | xaargs, matey. | 08:59 |
| DanaG | Sounds like something a pirate would say. | 08:59 |
| RAOF | And then mystically works again :) | 08:59 |
| pwnguin | well | 09:00 |
| pwnguin | at least the net didnt break halfway through upgrade | 09:00 |
| RAOF | Always a winner. | 09:00 |
| DanaG | Or HAL... while you happen to be on battery. | 09:03 |
| pwnguin | well | 09:03 |
| pwnguin | upgrade on battery is your own damn fauilt | 09:03 |
| DanaG | Easy to avoid: don't upgrade while on battery. | 09:03 |
| DanaG | Yup. | 09:03 |
| DanaG | It doesn't "break" -- it just stops working until I reboot. | 09:04 |
| pwnguin | its like copy to ntfs on battery. dont | 09:04 |
| pwnguin | its gonna take longer to upgrade than i have battery anyways | 09:04 |
| DanaG | And don't use the same partition in both a VM and native... or at least, don't use others on the same drive. | 09:04 |
| DanaG | I somehow royally screwed up my NTFS partition, to where it seemed like all was lost. | 09:04 |
| DanaG | I had an old backup, but I had some new media files I didn't want to lose.... and had conveniently just given to a friend. | 09:05 |
| DanaG | But anyway, I ran TestDisk on a whim, and found: it can magically recover files from evenly royally screwed up NTFS. | 09:05 |
| DanaG | er | 09:05 |
| DanaG | even royally | 09:05 |
| DanaG | 'p' to list files, and 'c' to copy to current directory -- but you have to 'cd' to the place you want the files to go, first. | 09:06 |
| DanaG | That's a factoid idea: !testdisk: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 09:07 |
| pwnguin | maybe if you keep repeating yourself | 09:08 |
| pwnguin | someone will care ;) | 09:08 |
| DanaG | That utility has saved my data sooooo many times. | 09:10 |
| DanaG | And I've also told others about it. | 09:10 |
| DanaG | http://lwn.net/Articles/284113/ | 09:12 |
| DanaG | random. | 09:12 |
| pwnguin | well im glad someone's paying him to fix laptops | 09:13 |
| DanaG | Who? | 09:14 |
| pwnguin | what? | 09:14 |
| pwnguin | mjg got hired by redhat | 09:14 |
| DanaG | Aah. | 09:14 |

| pwnguin | do we have any idea whether flashplayer 10 will be out of beta by october? | 09:15 |
| pwnguin | man. the ubuntu laptop team is on life support | 09:16 |
| DanaG | http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-06/msg01927.html | 09:20 |
| pwnguin | i have to ask -- is there a theme here? | 09:22 |
| DanaG | Stuff for HP business laptops. | 09:22 |
| DanaG | Accelerometer and such. | 09:22 |
| pwnguin | sure. everything's getting better all the time | 09:23 |
| pwnguin | do you own an HP or something? | 09:24 |
| DanaG | I hope those things will be in-tree somewhere along the Intrepid development cycle. | 09:24 |
| DanaG | I'll be getting a new laptop in the summer, and I've essentially decided on one of them. | 09:24 |
| DanaG | ... or the successor, as it may be. | 09:24 |
| pwnguin | ok, what's a capplet? | 09:30 |
| DanaG | control panel applet? | 09:34 |
| DanaG | Maybe. | 09:34 |
| pwnguin | well you called it capplet | 09:36 |
| pwnguin | its apparently a configuration applet | 09:37 |
| RAOF | DanaG: You know, you can set that factoid yourself? !testdisk is <reply>stuff goes here :) | 09:42 |
| DanaG | Aah. I figured there might be permissions I'd need. | 09:43 |
| RAOF | Nope. Say that, then head into #ubuntu-ops to get someone to ack it. | 09:43 |
| DanaG | !testdisk is http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 09:44 |
| DanaG | I'm actually going to go to bed now. | 09:46 |
| DanaG | Fri Jun 6 01:46:04 PDT 2008 | 09:46 |
| pwnguin | if you guys like the compiz stuff | 09:51 |
| pwnguin | ive got a neat one for ya | 09:51 |
| pwnguin | somoene finally addded the new colorfilters | 09:52 |
| DanaG | How about trails and atlantis2? Are those in -unsupported package? | 09:58 |
| pwnguin | well crap | 09:59 |
| pwnguin | if you go to colorfilter in CCSM, what controls which filters show up? | 09:59 |
| pwnguin | 9 | 10:00 |
| DanaG | Something odd: the first filter selected is "cumulative" or something like that. | 10:01 |
| DanaG | It applies ALL of them, in god-only-knows what order. | 10:01 |
| pwnguin | ? | 10:04 |
| pwnguin | no | 10:04 |
| pwnguin | i meant, theres a directory full of filters | 10:04 |
| pwnguin | which ones get displayed, i just discovered, is part of an xml file | 10:04 |
| pwnguin | well, thanks for the help RAOF | 10:18 |
| pwnguin | time to wreak havoc on others | 10:18 |
| RAOF | Heh | 10:22 |

| mnemo | how do I upgrade to intrepid? | 13:32 |
| BUGabundo_work | mnemo: from a console, run: | 13:33 |
| BUGabundo_work | update-manager -d | 13:33 |
| BUGabundo_work | but be warned: it is still not even ALPHA | 13:33 |
| mnemo | hmm, I tried that before and it said "update-manager not installed" ... so I installed it and then tried and then it just shows "no updates" in the gui | 13:34 |
| BUGabundo_work | I'm waiting until the 12th, when the 1st alpha is expected | 13:34 |
| mnemo | hmm ok | 13:34 |
| elkbuntu | mnemo, read the /topic before you do | 13:34 |
| mnemo | i've read it, also my system is already broken it seems | 13:34 |
| BUGabundo_work | if you don't have/had update-manager installed, then your system is in no good state. | 13:34 |
| mvo | i would not upgrade quite yet, chances are very high that during the upgrade a problem with libc6/findutils will happen and maintianer script crashes, better bootstrap a chroot for now | 13:35 |
| mnemo | ok, I'll wait a month or so then :) | 13:36 |
| BUGabundo_work | eheh, ok mnemo | 13:36 |
| mnemo | is there any command I can use to revert all my packages back to hardy? because i've been beta testing various bug fixes and upstream graphics drivers so I think myself is very dirty right now | 13:37 |
| BUGabundo_work | mvo I downloaded 8.04.1 from cdimage last week, but right now I can't find a current iso, that I can rsync and do a chroot! | 13:37 |
| BUGabundo_work | how can I do that? | 13:37 |
| mvo | install debootstrap from hardy-backports, that can do one. maybe pbuilder if you are interessted in development | 13:38 |
| BUGabundo_work | not that much mvo | 13:51 |
| BUGabundo_work | just trying out and filling bugs | 13:51 |
