| Daemonik | How are the contents of /dev/ created? | 02:10 |
| tnnc | has anyone had the vnc server stop working after the last update | 02:10 |
| Daemonik | tnnc, Define "stop working", crash?, hang? | 02:11 |
| tnnc | daemonik ok it just stopped as you said thanks | 02:11 |
| RAOF | Daemonik: Most of them are created by the kernel; some are created by udev, I believe. | 02:13 |
| Daemonik | RAOF, If I were booting Ubuntu from an NFS server hosted by OpenBSD, with many different kinds of hardware, I probably want /dev/ to be recreated at each boot yes? | 02:14 |
| RAOF | It's going to be anyway. | 02:14 |
| RAOF | It's a filesystem not backed by any block device, anyway. | 02:15 |
| Daemonik | RAOF, So this won't stop me from booting? What I'd like to do, is use something like UnionFS so the NFS share mounted on / is read-only. | 02:15 |
| Daemonik | RAOF, Yeah I know that much. | 02:15 |
| RAOF | So it doesn't matter where or how you get /, /dev is going to be created on boot. | 02:15 |
| Daemonik | RAOF, Even if / is read-only? | 02:16 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 02:16 |
| Daemonik | Cool | 02:16 |
| RAOF | Although you'll need at least /tmp and /var to be not read-only, I believe. | 02:17 |
| Daemonik | Yeah mounted on tmpfs which is in ram yeah? | 02:17 |
| Daemonik | As far as I know, one of the things UnionFS can do is combine a ram disk and read only device like a cdrom or an NFS share that is read-only | 02:18 |
| Daemonik | and the LiveCDs do this yes? | 02:18 |
| RAOF | Yeah, I believe so. | 02:19 |
| Daemonik | Would this be as easy as an entry in fstab? | 02:19 |
| RAOF | No idea. | 02:20 |
| RAOF | But quite possibly. | 02:20 |
| RAOF | Add a /var and a /tmp ramfs entry, and something for /home, and you're done. | 02:20 |
| Daemonik | I'm wondering if /home is necessary. All these things are going to do is run NX. | 02:24 |
| Daemonik | Ubuntu was the best choice 'cause it's like Debian, but newer and I know it's going to work. =) | 02:24 |
| RAOF | Heh. I'm pretty sure you'll need a writable /home | 02:24 |
| Daemonik | Looks like UnionFS is the way togo. | 02:30 |

| [GuS] | Hi guys! i was diggin at cdimage, and i was about to download latest build of intrepid live cd, and i found that each has 880MB ?? :S | 13:54 |
| [GuS] | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ | 13:54 |
| Hobbsee | yes, they're oversized. | 13:54 |
| Hobbsee | they may, or may not install | 13:54 |
| Pici | Hence the ,OVERSIZED | 13:54 |
| Pici | ;) | 13:55 |
| [GuS] | ok... i will download alternate then.. | 13:56 |
| Hobbsee | same applies w.r.t. their installability | 13:57 |
| [GuS] | i know, but at least are not oversized... | 13:58 |
| [GuS] | i am just doing it for testing... and i dont have a cd for 880MB :P | 13:58 |

| Viper550 | okay, I got kubuntu KDE4, gutsy, will updating to Intrepid give me KDE 4.1? | 17:40 |
| JontheEchidna | Viper550: yes, but it's not recommended to upgrade. You can upgrade to hardy and you will be able to install 4.1 from there | 17:45 |

| LSD|Ninja | What's so special about the ubuntu-desktop package? Why is hte latest update being held back? o_O | 18:20 |
| w00t | I don't know whether it's useful to anyone, but on upgrade from hardy to intrepid (I always upgrade early into the next release), I had problems with nm-applet which I think I've resolved.. with the help of http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2007-January/006877.html | 18:22 |
| w00t | that fix is probably not correct here (I lack the experience of knowing), but it's probably something worth looking at.. | 18:22 |

| maihem | I'm testing intrepid alpha two in a qemu session (because it crashed under virtualbox - or killed virtualbox) and I'm having a bizarre behaviour with the pointer. It is using pointer integration by default (nice) with the xorg vmmouse driver but each unit movement of the mouse in the wetworld moves the onscreen pointer by about 64 pixels (a guess). | 23:49 |
| === knurra is now known as knurra_das_boot | ||
| maihem | the regular "mouse" driver works fine (but no pointer integration) | 23:57 |
