Chipzzb2z: if no-one is answering, that's most likely because there is no-one present who can answer. There is no need to repeat yourself04:08
b2zok - had no acknowledgement until now.. I thought my internet connection may have been a bit dodgy!04:13
Chipzzyou may have noticed the general absence of activity - which is most likely because most people are asleep04:13
b2zahh ok, tried asking on #ubuntu but nothing at all!04:14
Chipzzhehe04:14
Chipzzgood luck getting any usefull answer on #ubuntu other then an answer to a FAQ ;P04:15
b2zits kinda an urgent one too... i'm removing all traces of link aggregation and I'll give it another go04:15
Chipzzyou could try the wiki, although somehow I have my doubts :p04:16
b2zyeah i tried - found a few resources through Google, but they say a few different things04:17
b2zmaybe i should look for nic bonding in debian? do you think I'd have more luck??04:17
Chipzzthat would be a good bet04:20
Chipzzalso04:20
Chipzzevery debian (and ubuntu) package includes some form of documentation in /usr/share/doc/<package>/04:20
ChipzzREADME.Debian (if present for your package) would be a good bet to read04:21
Chipzzsuch file (if present) includes documentation on how things are done in debian/ubuntu04:21
Chipzzfor example, /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian includes a pointer to /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz, which is one way of setting up wireless with wpa in Debian04:25
nxvlsoren: where is u-vm-builder branch stored? is it still lp:~ubuntu-virt/ubuntu-jeos/python-rewrite ?06:52

nxvlis there any reason for the error being raised with the whole backtrace or just random behavior07:08

nxvlsoren: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29526/07:10
nxvlugly and not friendly error07:11
sorenHm... I seem to have neglected to push a few things.07:11
nxvlplease push them to work on the latest version07:11
nxvli'm wrinting (or understanding the code to write) debian support07:11
sorenI've not yet entirely split errors into user errors and internal errors. Until then, it's more helpful to provide a full backtrace.07:12
nxvlwell yes, it's development still, so it sound fair enough07:12
nxvli love -o option07:14
nxvl:D07:14
sorenI can't really push my changes right now. It's in the middle of a rewrite of certain core things, so it's break a lot of stuff.07:14
sorennxvl: Why?07:15
nxvlalso i was wondering, why do all ubuntu version depend on the previous one07:15
nxvlsoren: because i hate to write: "rm -rf folder; ubuntu-vm-builder bla bla bla"07:15
nxvlalso if i can configure it on ~/.ubuntu-vm-builder it will not even needed to write -o07:17
sorenIt's called inheritance... Every Ubuntu version is based on the previous one. We don't scrap everything every time we start a new release. We build upon the previous one.07:17
nxvlyes, i know07:17
nxvlbut when dapper comes out of support would yo need to move things from one .py to other?07:17
sorenProbably.07:17
sorenWhat do you suggest instead?07:18
nxvlso, then why not to write a library that handles that and having the classes inheriting from it instead of from the previuos version07:19
nxvl(i have only take a quick look so i might be saying bullshit)07:19
nxvlbtw, have you already being working on a manpage or are you accepting patches?07:21
sorenNo documentation yet at all.07:22
nxvlsome register setting can also be striped out of ubuntu/distro.py into a generic distro library07:23
sorenI just don't see the point of putting it into a base class and having everything inherit from that. What's the gain?07:23
sorenI'd have to e.g. duplicate all the quirks from Gutsy into Hardy and Intrepid.07:23
sorenThat's pointless.07:23
nxvlsome of the options can be used on other distros also and avoid code duplication07:24
sorenThey inherit in the real world, so why not in the code?07:24
sorenWe can deal with that when other distros come along.07:24
nxvlyeah, that's why i'm commenting on that, i'm working on debian support07:24
nxvlthe gain? easy of maintaince07:24
nxvland avoid the need to move code every 6 months07:25
sorenBut that's the entire point! This is the the way that gives the least maintenance.07:25
sorenDude!07:25
sorenThis is the way we *avoid* copying the code.07:25
sorenDapper is supported until 2011.07:25
sorenWith your approach I'd have to copy everything from Gutsy into Hardy and Intrepid.07:26
nxvlbut not edgy07:26
sorenAnd every time I fixed a bug in Gutsy,  I'd have to copy the fix to Hardy and Intrepid.07:26
nxvlor use a library07:26
nxvls/library/module/07:27
sorenIf you really think that's a more useful approach, write up a patch, and I'll consider it.07:27
nxvlyep i will take a better look07:28
sorenI doubt it'll be much use, though.07:28
nxvlas i said before i just taked a quick one and have that question on mind07:28
sorenHardy inherits from Gutsy. That's simply a matter of facts. Also, Ubuntu inherits from Debian.07:28
nxvlafter seeing the distro inherit chain, so i kind of found it odd, so i was just asking07:29
nxvl:D07:29
nxvlbut yes i will consider on sending a patch after a better look07:29
nxvlbut be sure i will work on a manpage07:29
sorenCool.07:30
nxvlevery option is documented on the code, isn't it?07:30
sorenYes.07:30
nxvlit will be just a matter of getting them from there and write a nice file07:30
nxvlbtw07:30
sorenThe most useful approach to writing a man page would be to extract it programmatically.07:30
nxvli get really impressed to see you documenting everything to the point that i understan everything on the first and quick look07:31
nxvl:D07:31
sorenYou could write a pluging that does it.07:31
soren:)07:31
nxvlsoren: yes, that's a man page07:31
nxvlactually i was about to write a shell script to do it07:31
sorenErm... ok.07:34
sorenSo you'd parse python.... using shell?07:35
nxvlalso, it's a bug or a feature that using ./vmbuilder --help i have a limited set of option and using ./vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --help i get a complete set of options07:35
nxvlsoren: no, parse --help output07:35
nxvl(btw, it's 1:36 am here, so don't expect much from my tired brain)07:36
sorenWell, the --help output doesn't list all the options from all the plugins.07:36
sorenWell, you don't know which options will be available until you've chosen the distro and hypervisor.07:37
nxvlyeah, but it sould be mentioned somewhere on the ./ --help output07:37
nxvlsomething like "to see more options try: bla bla bla"07:38
nxvli will work on it07:38
nxvlbut tomorrow when my brain works again07:38
nxvlit's a PITA to work on an IT audit area having an economist as a boss07:39
nxvlit's just wrong07:39
sorenYeah, I've been there too, actually.07:41
nxvlhe want's me to write a tool that allows he to manage tables as in a spreadsheet document, having permision per column, and add or delete columns whenever he want07:42
nxvlmy brains goes upside every time i need to look at the database or model it07:42
nxvlAND07:43
nxvlhe wants the tool to import from xls files07:43
sorenSounds like fun.07:43
sorenHeh :)07:43
nxvlnot fun at all07:43
nxvli was like "fine, django and everything would be perfect"07:43
nxvlbut then i realize that it would be really hard to manage dynamic tables on django07:44

sorenSo the debdiff is between which two versions?08:21

sorenI'm not sure I know what you mean.08:23

sorenLooks great.08:27
sorenJust one last thing I want to check... hang on.08:28
nxvlok08:29
sorenOh, one last thing:08:30
sorendebian/control now has Vcs references pointing at Debian's repository.08:30
soren...but seeing as we have changes, and "apt-get source" tells you to get the source from whereever the VCS headers are pointing, we need to fix that.08:30
nxvlright08:31
sorenThat way we do that is to prepend "XS-Debian-" to the Vcs headers.08:31
nxvlso it would have the same issues as the maintainer field08:31
soren"issues"?08:31

stgraberhey, I'm doing some ISO testing for alpha-3. Installing all tasks at once create a conflict about the MTA (exim vs postfix).14:23
lamontstgraber: yeah - don't do that14:24
stgraberInstalling only the mail server task seems to work so I'm not really sure with which other task it conflicts14:24
stgraberlamont: well, you give the choice to the user so that shouldn't happen14:24
lamontstgraber: OTOH, it's akin to telling synaptic to install everything in main.. -> error for good reason14:25
lamontas to what is depending on exim, dunno14:25
lamontif you install postfix, and then walk through installing the other tasks one at a time, one of them will remove postfix14:25
lamontthat'd be your problem child.14:25
lamontbeat it (or not), as appropriate. :-)14:25
stgraberI'd bet on LAMP :) php probably depends on a MTA and apt selects exim (that's the bug)14:26
lamontexcept that when postfix is selected later, it would just remove it, since exim was only soft-selected14:27
_rubenincorrect: afaik this is up to vmware .. they provided the packages for feisty/gutsy14:28
sorenincorrect: Yes. Please shout at VMWare to make it happen.14:30

lamontor is it just exim4|MTA?14:57
mdzsoren: I can't seem to get kvm to boot the desktop CD on intrepid - amd64 seems to fail to even start X, and i386 gets to X but never finishes logging in14:57
mdzsoren: are others experiencing similar problems?14:58
stgraberI don't know but if it's exim4|MTA then the installer is doing the wrong choice :(14:58
stgrabermdz: I have the same issue with amd64 but i386 works except that you don't get the mouse and have to do the install using only the keyboard14:58
sorenmdz: I sent a few patches to the kernel team that should fix it. I must admit I'm not sure what the status is.14:58
mdzsoren: is there a bug report I can watch?14:59
mdzstgraber: I'll try i386 again and see if it's any different14:59
sorenI believe so. Hang on.14:59
sorenmdz: I thought I referenced it in my e-mail to the kernel-team, but I did not. It'll take me a bit longer to find it.15:00
mdzsoren: should it work if I go back to the hardy kernel?15:02
sorenmdz: Ironically, no. There's a bit of an ABI disconnect between the hardy kernel on the host side and Intrepid kernels on the guest side. I've not yet completely worked out how to fix that one with an Intrepid userspace.15:03
sorenIt's fixed by a kvm userspace patch in hardy-proposed, but with Intrepid kvm userspace, and hardy kvm kernelspace... not so much.15:04
mdzstgraber: i386 definitely doesn't work for me here15:05
sorenmdz: I need to wait for my desktop iso download to finish before I can tell you if it's the same issue. I have a meeting right now. I'll find the bug and get back to you when I'm done. Cool?15:05

duiuI'm configuring my iptables firewall, does anyone know if IPP/CUPS uses udp or tcp packets? I know this isn't the best question for this channel, but CUPS is poorly documented.20:08
mathiazkirkland: ahh... man pages - that's awesome :)20:08
kirklandmathiaz: true dat yo20:08
kirklandmathiaz: made good use of my 3 hours on the plane on Monday, without internet connectivity20:08

jdstrandduiu: IIRC one is for browsing and the other for printing20:10
duiujdstrand: ah, makes sense20:10
kirklandmathiaz: it's all about cpu frequency scaling ;-)20:11
mathiazsommer: is the version of the server guide on doc.ubuntu.com the latest that is available from the bzr repository ?20:11
kirklandmathiaz: 5400rpm hard drive helps too20:11
jdstrandkirkland: ha!20:11
kirklandjdstrand: ha, you don't believe me?20:11
jdstrandkirkland: no-- I most certainly do-- it's kees who has other opinions20:12
kirklandjdstrand: oh yeah :-)20:12
duiuWhile I'm asking port questions, what port does "ping" use? And is it the same in both windows and linux?20:13
jdstrandduiu: not a port, but an icmp type20:13
jdstrandduiu: what version of ubuntu are you using?20:13
duiu8.0420:13
jdstrandduiu: have you tried ufw?20:14
duiuno20:14
jdstrand!firewall20:14
ubottuUbuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).20:14
jdstrand!ufw20:14
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ufw20:14
jdstrandhmm, didn't get updated yet20:14
duiuah, pings not that important20:14
duiuoops20:15
jdstrandduiu: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html20:15
duiuah whatever, pings not that important on my network20:15
duiuthanks20:15
sommermathiaz: no that's from hardy... I don't think it's been updated since the release20:16
keesjdstrand, kirkland: while not being entirely direct, here's some details from the slides I saw: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/applications-power-management/race-to-idle.php20:16
jdstrandduiu: basically, assuming the machine in question can send anything out, you just need to run on it 'iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT'20:16
jdstrandduiu: but ufw takes care of all that for you20:16
afief_there seems to be no mentioning of anything other than loopback in my /etc/network/interfaces, where is the configuration for the rest of the stuff?20:16
duiuthanks again, jdstrand20:16
mathiazsommer: meh - slangasek asked me how he could review the samba section of the server guide20:17
mathiazsommer: I've pointed him to http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/20:17
sommermathiaz: ya, I emailed mdke about it this morning... haven't heard back yet20:17
sommermathiaz: maybe by this evening20:17
sommerbut if someone else has access...20:18
mathiazsommer: do you think that we can ask potential reviewers to review directly from the bzr branch ?20:18
mathiazsommer: or we should point them to doc.ubuntu.com ?20:18
sommermathiaz: doc.ubuntu.com would be a lot easier, but I've also emailed the xml files to reviewers20:18
jdstrandkees: I don't doubt you have support for your 'theory' ;P -- I've just witnessed longer battery life on my laptop at slower speeds.20:19
kirklandkees: interesting.....20:19
sommermathiaz: plus I think the main purpose of doc.u.c is reviewing20:19
mathiazsommer: right - but reviewing means you'd expect people to send comments20:19
mathiazsommer: what I found annoying is to get review email that lists spelling mistake20:20
keesjdstrand: yeah, I think it's only a valid argument when a machine is running tickless, with good timers, and modern CPU.20:20
mathiazsommer: submitting a branch would make more sense IMO20:20
jdstrandkees: nice dig at my laptop :)20:20
sommermathiaz: where would you submit the branch to?20:20
sommermathiaz: the doc ml?20:20
keesjdstrand: hah, actually, I meant to dig at mine.  :P20:21
keesjdstrand: at least I have tickless care of Hardy.20:21
keesjdstrand: but my CPU is crap, and both my video and my wireless wreck the timers.20:22
jdstrandit's probably similar here20:22

maw_after completing a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" how does one know if a reboot is necessary to apply the patches?23:08
maw_with gui ubuntu, usually a icon appears in systray advising a reboot is needed23:08
Deepsgood question23:10
mathiazmaw_: was the kernel updated ? if yes, you need to reboot - if no, you don't have to23:10
