slytherinWill shipit now ship 8.04.1?09:28
TheMusoI'm looking at making use of some X protocol bits in python. According to http://x-python.sourceforge.net/ there is an X extension for python, however I am unable to find it in Ubuntu anywhere. python-xlib is not it, and while python-xlib implements some of what I need, it doesn't implement everything. Thoughts/suggestions welcome.09:28
gnomefreakslytherin: not likely09:29
slytheringnomefreak: any particular reason?09:29
gnomefreakslytherin: they cut down on amount you can order, they didnt do it for dapper09:30
gnomefreaktheres 2 off top of head09:30
cjwatsongnomefreak: err, I'm pretty sure shipit *will* ship 8.04.109:30
cjwatsongnomefreak: do you have authoritative information to the contrary?09:30
gnomefreakcjwatson: to people that already order cds?09:30
gnomefreakcjwatson: no just what has been done over the last few releases09:31
cjwatsonobviously there needs to be some kind of cut-off where they start with the new set09:31
slytheringnomefreak: Sorry for bein unclear. I was talking about orders henceforth.09:31
cjwatsongnomefreak: would prefer if you didn't give non-authoritative answers, thanks09:31
cjwatsonI'm fairly sure that 8.04 shipit was stopped following the openssl vulnerability09:31
slytherincjwatson: I was assuming that shipit will ship 8.04.1. But the website still says 8.04. Do you know anyone I can ask for confirmation?09:32
cjwatsoncorrect answer coming along shortly ...09:32
* slytherin waits09:33
slangasekslytherin: so the situation is that shipit is trying to exhaust their rather extensive existing inventory of 8.04.0 CDs before switching over to 8.04.109:34
slangasekslytherin: any 8.04.0 CDs that are still being sent out are being given an insert that explains that the upgrades are needed09:34
slangasekslytherin: and in practice, the demand for 32-bit CDs is such that I'm told they've already switched over to 8.04.1 (with new cover art &c)09:35
slytherinslangasek: Ok. That is fair enough. Thanks for official word.09:36

tseliotTheMuso: Python bindings for XCB, perhaps? http://xcb.freedesktop.org/XcbPythonBinding/09:37
TheMusotseliot: thanks, I'll take a look.09:37
bryce_mvo: forwarded the two bugs09:39
TheMusotseliot: Hrm at a glance there is nothing related to python and xcb in the archive. However I'll take a look at the link you posted.09:40
bryce_TheMuso: what are you looking for specifically?09:41
TheMusobryce_: I need access to PriorityNotify, XInternAtom, and defining atoms. Basically I have some C code in one project that I need to rewrite in python.09:43
TheMusobryce_: The code is used in gnome-session to detect at-spi-registryd startup, using PropertyNotify, and some other stuff I'd need to read again to be sure what it does.09:44
TheMusobryce_: Basically I need to implement the same code for ubiquity's accessibility code, to make the same check, that at-spi-registryd starts correctly.09:44
bryce_hmm09:45
bryce_looking09:45
mvobryce_: execellent, thansk a lot !09:45
TheMusobryce_: Thanks.09:47
mvoTheMuso: you could use the ctypes module if there is nothing else available (also this is of course a bit ugly)09:47
bryce_TheMuso: http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/python-xlib_13.html looks the right direction09:47
TheMusobryce_: Hrm ok, must have not looked hard enough at that. I will take another look, thanks.09:48
bryce_TheMuso: both PropertyNotify and XInternAtom are xlib functionality, so I think the ordinary python-xlib binding would be enough09:49
bryce_fwiw, 'xcb' == 'X11 C Binding' and is just an alternative binding for the X11 protocol, like xlib.  In fact, it aims to replace it (there is also an xcb-xlib package that implements the xlib APIs using xcb to communicate with the server)09:51
TheMusobryce_: Ok the only thing that looks odd to me, is that it appears that the intern_atom method for pythonx-lib only takes two arguments, whereas the code I am porting calls XInternAtom with three arguments. See http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/python-xlib_16.html however I could be reading that incorrectly.09:53
bryce_what's the code you're porting?09:54
jcristauTheMuso: it's a method for a Display object, so there's your third argument09:55
bryce_ah nevermind, I got it09:55
bryce_yeah the python lib seems to be OO, so 'display' is an internal property of that and doesn't need passed in09:55
bryce_TheMuso: so you should be safe to use that09:56
TheMusobryce_: Thanks a bunch.09:58
TheMusobryce_: If you rae interested in the code I need to port if youare interested, its in the gnome-session package, gnome-session/gsm-at-startup.c, the first couple of functions in that file.09:59
TheMusogah typing09:59

sebnertseliot: I think I once broke my system with coping nvidia files ^^ though the official driver is working. but what's the difference between these 2?11:57
tseliotsebner: the 173 is a legacy driver while 177 is the latest (experimental) driver which supports the latest (next-gen) cards.11:58
sebnertseliot: though experimental is still stable?11:59
tseliotsebner: make sure you uninstall the nvidia driver from the nvidia installer before you install my packages otherwise nothing will work. Furthermore they work only with 2.6.26 kernels11:59
tseliotsebner: experimental is experimental ;) I haven't had problems with it though12:00

TheMusosistpoty|work: Hrm ok.14:38
keeskirkland: comment added :)14:45
slangasekTheMuso: yes, if you look at the manpage for asprintf, you'll see that the contents of the pointer asprintf() is supposed to fill on success are undefined in the event of a failure, so the only way to know whether asprintf failed is by checking the return value15:02

MTecknologyo23:41
MTecknologyI have ubuntu iso's put into a cdshell iso. I can use "diskemu ubuntu.iso" to launch the iso. It looks like it's going to work ok, but then this happens. http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshottestrunningviav2.png  I think what I need to do is make ubuntu look at the iso of itself instead of the cd drive itself.23:44
MTecknologyany ideas for how to do that?23:44
LynetI suspect it would be fairly straight forward if one could tell isoinux to read an alternate lisolinux.cfg, would just require a .cfg to select which 'cd' to use and then change the initrd for each dvd to tell the installer to look in a directory instead of the dvd root.23:47
LynetBut isolinux does not support that, afacit.23:48
