wgrant | ziroday: That is a very general question... | 06:15 |
ziroday | wgrant: its alright I think I found most of what I needed in the topic | 06:16 |
ziroday | my main question is, can I still use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:16 |
wgrant | Yes. | 06:16 |
ziroday | wgrant: great!, thanks a load! | 06:16 |

MFen | anybody here good with python-apt | 21:46 |
MFen | i'm writing a script for system recovery - it pulls your installed package list, then groups it by Canonical, Third-Party or manual deb | 21:46 |
MFen | then formats it and prints it out suitable for dpkg --set-selections and manual installation | 21:46 |
MFen | this is the script: http://pastebin.com/m11e49548 | 21:47 |
MFen | i've got some packages that i know for a fact were installed from a third-party apt, yet i can't find any information in their records to indicate that was the case | 21:48 |
MFen | thus, they are currently being listed in the output as 'manual deb' when i know they were installed with apt | 21:48 |
MFen | line 80 for reference. | 21:48 |
MFen | anyone? | 21:49 |
MFen | from a given package name, is there any way to tell what apt archive it came from? any API or command-line tool available? | 22:38 |
superm1 | apt-cache policy PACKAGE | 22:39 |
MFen | superm1: thanks. i have one that i think is wrong, any idea how that could happen? | 22:40 |
superm1 | if you had a third party repo turned on for a bit | 22:41 |
MFen | the package is isight-firmware-tools and i installed it from a mactel ppa | 22:41 |
MFen | well, the repo is still turned on | 22:41 |
MFen | the only version it shows is /var/lib/dpkg/status | 22:42 |
superm1 | then run an apt-get update to update your repo lists | 22:42 |
MFen | yeah, i just did, still says that :-/ | 22:43 |
MFen | maybe the repo recently changed and i didn't notice | 22:43 |
superm1 | not really discussion for #ubuntu-x however | 22:46 |
superm1 | you're better off in #ubuntu or a similar channel | 22:46 |
MFen | what's the difference? | 22:47 |
jcristau | the difference is it's off-topic here | 22:47 |
superm1 | this channel is for discussion of the X server and related drivers, that's a more general topic | 22:47 |
MFen | oh, x server. k, thanks | 22:48 |
