Hobbseepitti: interestingly, i didn't get a black X on my next boot, after shutting down my machine for the night (with a splash screen).  is it only a reboot thing, or does it only happen the first time after you reboot after that update?04:04
Hobbseecjwatson: definite blink.04:11

rleigh_Hi folks, sorry if this is OT.  When launchpad was set up, IIRC Debian developers were created accounts automatically; does the same apply to the forums?  I've tried to register using "rleigh" as the user, but apparently I can't do that (or reset the password--is it locked?).13:22
james_whi rleigh_13:24
james_wthere is a #launchpad channel that will probably be more helpful13:24
rleigh_james_w: Thanks!13:25
Hobbseejames_w: ...?13:26
Hobbseejames_w: does launchpad deal with the forums now?13:27
gnomefreakHobbsee: no LP doesnt support forums as in LP account is not transfered over for simple reasons like names aval. in one may not be in another13:38
Hobbseegnomefreak: i didn't think so13:39
gnomefreakrleigh_: see my comment above for your answer13:46
rleigh_gnomefreak: OK, thanks.13:49
gnomefreakrleigh_: np13:50
=== Zic_ is now known as Zic
moi have a problem with the dm_crypt password dialog at boot time. it does not take my password. if i wait and let me drop into initramfs-shell, i can mount everything with cryptsetup and go on booting. any ideas!?14:23
Chipzz!weekend | mo14:28
ubottumo: It's a weekend.  Often on weekends, the paid developers, and a lot of the community, may not be around to answer your question.  Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the working week.14:28
Chipzzalso I'm not sure exactly how stable the functionality you're inquiring about is14:29
stgraberChipzz: encrypted LVM is a supported partitioning using Ubuntu Alternate14:29
stgraberit's currently (at least the installer part) a bit broken in Intrepid but it's stable in Hardy and works well (at least here)14:30
stgraberanyway, it's always best to file a bug report on LP and let the triagers and developers have a look at it14:30
alex-weejneed to pick someone's brain before i try and file this bug on behalf of a friend14:33
alex-weejhe has one of the apple mighty mouse things, bluetooth and all14:33
alex-weejcrap.. wrong channel14:33
moi first tried it by myself and then the alternate installer. allways the same14:37
mofirst i thought the enrypt modules are not loaded or not included in the initramfs, but as is said in the initramfs shell i can easly mount them by myself en continue booting14:38
alex-weejis there some way to get "foreign" file systems whose UIDs don't match up with the running system's UIDs to just grant full access?16:00
alex-weeji think i need to write a blueprint.16:00
=== edson is now known as epcanto
Chipzzany sysadmin here? packages.ubuntu.com appears to be down16:44
zorglu_on hardy, ulimit by default is "max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32" so program refuses to run in normal cases. as one can not requires from user to change the ulimit, we have to change remove the mlock16:44
zorglu_not a good move as it decrease security for no reason16:44
superm1Chipzz, /j #canonical-sysadmin16:45
lagazorglu_: ulimit says "unlimited" on my box16:45
gesersuperm1: is p.u.c already hosted by canonical?16:45
superm1geser, i thought it was?16:45
Adri2000it wasn't until very recently at least16:46
zorglu_laga: try "ulimit -a"16:47
gesersuperm1: afaik frank lichtenfeld hosted p.u.c and packages.debian.org but there was a question about hosting on the ubuntu-devel ml but I don't remeber the outcome of it and if it switched in mean time16:47
superm1geser, i was assuming that it had switched when the new SW interface was loaded on p.u.c16:47
superm1but i may be wrong16:47
lagazorglu_: indeed16:48
Adri2000it seems you're right superm1: packages.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.94.219 and 219.94.189.91.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer sulfur.canonical.com.16:48
gesersuperm1: I don't know, but I didn't see it mentioned either16:48
zorglu_ok need to workaround this no more mlock on ubuntu, now :) security ++ :)16:50
Chipzzgeser: p.u.c is ambiguous btw :)16:52
Chipzzgeser: could be both planet or packages ;)16:52
emgentheheh true :P16:52
Chipzzbut packages.u.c was recently moved I believe16:52
Chipzzwhich is supported by the fact that packages.debian.org *does* respond to http requests16:52
emgentpa.u.c seems donw16:52
emgents/donw/down/16:53
Chipzzemgent: 17:44 < Chipzz> any sysadmin here? packages.ubuntu.com appears to be down16:53
slangaseksuperm1, laga: ping, re: mythbuntu alternates for 8.04.117:05
lagaslangasek: pong17:05
lagaslangasek: still no luck with the SRUs :)17:05
slangaseklaga: ok :)17:05
lagaexcept that superm1 tested one of them. yay.17:05
slangaseklaga: any sort of time table?17:06
=== devfil_ is now known as devfil
lagauh, 2 weeks before i can do anything.17:07
slangasekhmm, ok17:07
slangaseksooner would be nice, I guess I'll pester superm1 :)17:07
lagaand i guess if people dont test the SRUs there's no demand for a mythbuntu 8.04.1 :)17:07
Mirvany PS3 devels here? I wonder if PS3 images from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/ should be removed, as I heard even 8.04.1 is simply not functional? 8.04 images were never released over there and people were directed to the enchanced 7.10 build at least before17:08
slangaseklaga: well, I haven't pulled the 8.04 ISOs yet for mythbuntu, but I feel that we should at some point soon because of the OpenSSL vuln17:09
slangaseklaga: and of course I would like to be able to put something in its place, rather than just removing it...17:10
superm1sladen, the MCC one is cleared.  i'm trying to assemble a good test VM to verify the other SRU17:12
alex-weejcan someone explain the mailing list situation to me briefly please -- ubuntu-devel still moderated?17:13
lagasuperm1: is it? great. also, you probably meant to talk to slangasek17:16
* laga hugs superm1 17:16
slangaseksuperm1: ok, good to hear :)17:16
slangasekalex-weej: Ubuntu developers are allowed to post without moderation; other posts are moderated17:17
superm1laga, well cleared in the sense that i verified it.  someone needs to copy it to hardy-updates probably still17:17
lagasuperm1: is one ACK sufficient?17:18
=== Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker`
superm1laga, i dont anticipate we'll (easily) get any more testing on it.  i dont believe the SRU spec calls for any specific number of ACK's17:20
lagawell, basically, we have two ACK's, but mine probably does not count :)17:20
lagaSRU spec is overrated anyways.17:20
ChipzzI'm not sure if this is appropriate here, or if I should ask on #ubuntu-motu (which I already did), but are there any people here who have experience in packaging php extensions?17:22
alex-weejwhy is the default "configured mouse" in xorg.conf using the "vmmouse" driver?17:36
alex-weeji don't even use vmware17:36
=== DktrKranz is now known as DaftKranz
superm1slangasek, laga okay I verified that the other SRU works out correctly too17:59
slangaseksuperm1: spiff - should I go ahead with copying the current alternate images over as 8.04.1, or do they still need further testing?18:19
superm1slangasek, i am doing one more test install with the alternate 8.04.1 image to make sure nothing else is broke18:19
slangasekok18:19
superm1so in a little bit18:19
=== DaftKranz is now known as DktrKranz
superm1slangasek, okay test install just finished.  alternate looks OK18:27

[reed]is packages.ubuntu.com supposed to be down?19:06
Chipzz[reed]: already known19:06
[reed]k19:06
Chipzz[reed]: I talked to elmo about it, he's aware of the problem, but rebooting the hardware needs physical access19:07
[reed]no iLO, kvm, or remote hands? :)19:07
masoodhi19:12
masoodcan anyone help me out about a question? Why some packages in the ubuntu repository have a strange version such as 4:3.5.9 ?19:13
LaserJockmasood: you mean the 4: part?19:13
masoodyep19:13
LaserJockmasood: that's called an epoch19:14
LaserJockit allows packagers fix bad versioning19:14
masoodLaserJock: is that actually a standard practice?19:14
LaserJockyes19:14
LaserJockbut you only want to use it if you have to19:14
masoodLaserJock: why does dh_make complain about it then?19:15
LaserJockdepends on the complaint19:15
masoodLaserJock: an error message like unknown version19:16
LaserJockwell, that could be because you don't usually create a new package with an epoch19:16
LaserJockmasood: is there a reason why you're using an epoch?19:17
masoodLaserJock: Also, if lets say we have pidgin packages with versions 3.4 and 1:3.5, which packages apt-get consider the newer version?19:17
LaserJock1:3.519:18
LaserJockin fact if it was version 1:1.0 and 3.4, 1:1.0 would be bigger19:18
masoodLaserJock: sorry i gave a bad example.. how about 3.5 and 1:3.419:18
masood?19:18
=== blueyed_ is now known as blueyed
LaserJock1:3.419:18
masoodok19:18
LaserJockthat's the purpose of the epoch19:18
masoodLaserJock: last time i tried to add new pidgin in my ppa and I came across this new versions..19:19
LaserJockif the upstream developers change version schemes, or if we need to go back to a previous version, or if we make a mistake19:19
LaserJockthose are times when you'll see an epoch19:20
masoodLAserJock: how can we actually go back to old versioning scheme if we have one of these epoched version in the repo?19:21
LaserJockyou have to bump the epoch19:21
LaserJockso you'd have to go to 2:19:21
masoodLaserJock: bump? meaning delete it?19:22
LaserJockno19:22
LaserJockincrease it19:22
LaserJockyou can't go back19:22
LaserJockthat's why you only want to use an epoch if you have to19:22
masoodLaserJock: i got it now. thanks a lot for the help.19:23
