hwildehow can I send my hostname to dns with a static IP12:51
RainCThwilde: what do you mean?12:54
hwildei mean dhclient is what sends the hostname out and registers with dns right12:58
hwilde/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf   send host-name "";12:58
hwildewhat if I'm using a static IP not dhclient, and I want to just send that host-name to DNS12:59
maxbhwilde: to *what* DNS?13:06
hwildethe dns server in /etc/resolv.conf ?13:06
maxbIt's sounding you don't understand how DNS works. You don't "send hostnames to DNS" (except in the special case of dynamic DNS, which is very much a special case, not the norm.)13:08
hwildeso what does this do:      /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf   send host-name "";13:12
ogracan you take that to a support channel ?13:12
hwildeyeah they don't know over there13:12
ograthat doesnt justify anything13:12

ograseb128, would you kill me if i dropped -Werror from metacity ?13:13
seb128ogra: I don't care, I don't work on that one13:14
ograseb128, at least ntil upstream shows some recation on gnome bug 562106 ? so it builds on armel13:14
ubottuGnome bug 562106 in general "build error on x86_64" [Normal,Resolved: duplicate] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56210613:14
seb128ogra: tarballs should not have Werror set, that's an upstream bug13:14
ograwell, its helpful during development, so i understand why they do it13:15
seb128the rules is usually that svn has it set but not tarballs13:15
ograah, i didnt know gnome had a rule for that13:16
seb128not sure that's a rules but that's how it's done usually13:16
ograi foungth endless wars with gnome-powermanager upstream about that13:16
ograand he insisted it had to stay13:16
seb128the svn is used to do hacking work, tarballs are for users and should be buildable easily13:16
ograright13:16
seb128don't bother in any case just do the change and upload to jaunty13:17
ograwill do, gracias :)13:17
hwildedhclient does send the host-name to dns tho13:21
* hwilde stares at maxb 13:22
wgranthwilde: No, it sends it to the DHCP server. Now back to userland with you.13:23
hwildewell ok then the dhcp server sends it to dns, that's not the point13:24
hwildeis there any way to do that while using a static IP13:24
hwildejust send the hostname, not actually request dhcp13:25

ograso whats keeping it there  ? :)16:57
gnomefreakif you install it instead of upgrade it installs and removed -gnome but as to why apt isnt upgrading it im not sure16:58

ograso easy to blame :)16:59
gnomefreakpulse has almost same issue17:00
gnomefreakthats why i blame apt :)17:00
ograhmm17:01
gnomefreakogra: seems any name change isnt being handled properly with apt sox is same way it removes libsox0a and installs libsox117:02

EtienneGI have a stupid question here ... can we build chroot of later release using debootstrap?17:23
EtienneGie, building intrepid/jaunty chroot on hardy?17:23
ograEtienneG, yes17:23
ograyou usually need the backported debootstrap though17:24

ubottuUbuntu bug 297543 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 "Update Package: nVidia 180.11" [Undecided,In progress]18:59
slangasektseliot1: well, there should be tasks open for each package that's being SRUed (either on this bug or another), so that we can track the status18:59
slangasekin this case, separate bugs might be better since I guess each package needs to have SRU verification / regression testing separately?19:00
tseliot1slangasek: not in this case since the changes to those packages are trivial and are related compatibility with the new driver19:01
tseliot1so that installing one driver removes the other19:01
tseliot1etc.19:01
slangasekok19:02
slangasekthen please open tasks for the other packages being SRUed19:02
tseliot1ok19:02
slangasektseliot1: 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu7 -- wrong version number, you need to use a version number that sorts earlier than the version in jaunty, not later19:04
slangaseke.g. 5.1 << 619:04
tseliot1slangasek: I was told that I couldn't use the same version which is in Jaunty, therefore I bumped the version in intrepid. Would it help if I bumped the version in Jaunty instead?19:06
slangasekno, use 5.1 as the version number19:07

dokolool: was there any outcome about the arm double/qreal discussion?19:21
slangasektseliot1: I'll wait for you to post new packages with fixed version numbers and changelog bug references, then19:25
tseliot1slangasek: ok, let's see if I got it right this time: 96.43.09-0ubuntu1.1 , 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu5.1, 177.82-0ubuntu1.1 , 180.11-0ubuntu0.119:25
slangasektseliot1: should -177 be 177.82-0ubuntu0.1?  there doesn't seem to have been an -0ubuntu1 in intrepid19:27
slangasekin terms of sorting with what's currently in the archive, though, all of those are fine19:27
tseliot1slangasek: 177.82-0ubuntu1 was available in jaunty but now it has been superseeded by ubuntu2. I guess I can use ubuntu1 then19:29
slangasekno, you can't use ubuntu119:29
slangasekyou can never reuse version numbers19:29
slangasekbut 0ubuntu0.1 is more correct than 0ubuntu1.1, because it sorts earlier than every version that's ever been in jaunty19:29
tseliot1so I was right before19:29
tseliot1ah, good19:30

=== geser_ is now known as geser
slangasektseliot1: so in the preinst diff, I see that -96 tries to remove its own diversions, is that intentional or a copy/paste error?19:50
tseliot1slangasek: it's intentional (because of previous versions)19:53
tseliot1it shouldn't cause problems anyway19:53
tseliot1since it's in the preinst19:53
slangasekthis reasoning escapes me19:54
slangasektseliot1: I'm not sure this dkms switch is appropriate in an SRU; is there discussion of that change somewhere in LP?19:55
tseliot1slangasek: the dkms switch is not such a big change. It reuses the same directories and lets DKMS apply the patches instead of patching things in advance19:57
slangasektseliot1: how would I confirm that dkms would do the patch applying?19:57
slangasekI'm unfamiliar with dkms details19:58
tseliot1it is written in the dkms.conf.in19:58
tseliot1I'll make an example19:58
slangaseknothing there specifically mentions patches; should I just trust that the directory you're copying these into is the directory that dkms looks for patches in?19:59
tseliot1slangasek: if I add the following lines to dkms.conf.in: PATCH[0]="NVIDIA-177.82_2.6.28.patch"19:59
tseliot1PATCH_MATCH[0]="^2.6.2[8]"19:59
tseliot1then the patch is applied only if kernel 2.6.28 is in use19:59
slangasekah - in practice this isn't an issue for 96 because the patch set is empty ;)19:59
tseliot1yep19:59
tseliot1if you're interested, you can do a "man dkms" and get to where it says PATCH[#]20:01
tseliot1for example it says that dkms looks for patches in /usr/src/<module>-<module-version>/patches/20:02
tseliot1and currently I copy patches from debian.binary/patches to what will be installed in /usr/src/<module>-<module-version>/patches/20:02
tseliot1this will make things a lot easier as I can use the same sources for intrepid, jaunty, etc. just by adding new patches (in theory) and telling dkms when it should apply each patch20:04
tseliot1e.g. PATCH_MATCH[0]="^2.6.2[8-9]" means apply patch[0] only if 2.6.28 <= kernel <= 2.6.2920:05
superm1it also helps if someone is regressing a problem in a kernel by grabbing the kernel from release+120:05

ScottK-laptopIf a package needs a config file to run, but it's not provided (except as examples) and the init just prints a warning to stdout is that a policy violation or merely in poor taste?22:09
directhexwhere are the examples stored?22:09
ScottK-laptopIn /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGENAME22:12
slangasekScottK-laptop: poor taste, I think; there are cases in which you legitimately want a package to not do anything by default, and I don't see a way to distinguish between those cases and the one you dsecribe, at a policy level22:36
ScottK-laptopslangasek: OK.  How about writing to stdout in the init is the only warning you get?22:37
slangaseksounds to me these are all bugs, just not policy violatios :)22:38

ScottK-laptopOK.22:39
ScottK-laptopIf it was policy it'd be easier to know if it's RC or not (this affects Debian too).22:39

slangasektseliot1: sure.  I have two of them uploaded so far, moving on to 177 now22:41
tseliot1slangasek: thanks a lot22:41
slangasektseliot1: was there discussion of whether 180 belongs as an SRU, given that it's a new package, vs. backports?22:41
tseliot1I talked to superm1 about this. The new driver won't be suggested by Jockey unless the modalias package is installed22:42
tseliot1I think it's safe to put it in updates22:43
tseliot1instead of backports22:43
superm1the converse to that though, considering it's a beta driver, it might make more sense to regularly update it via backports until the stable driver is released in the 180 series22:48
superm1rather than always filing SRU's for such things22:49
