TheMusoWhen one wants to close more than one LP bug at once, is only a comma and the next LP bug number sufficient?00:21
StevenKTheMuso: From what I recall (LP: #xxxxx, #yyyy) works00:23
TheMusoStevenK: Yeah, just confirmed it by checking the resulting changes file, thanks.00:23

tonyyarussopitti: Excellent.00:28
ScottK-laptopAnyone around with hardware, inclination, etc, to do an armel test build for me?01:29
glickexcuse me reading the community Kernel/Compile page and it says i have to do sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel among other things, but apt says that there is no such package03:20
jdongwho's our selinux people? There's so much conflicting info on how to enable SELinux in Ubuntu03:29

bluefoxicyQuestion05:46
bluefoxicyin Top, what's state D again?05:46
bluefoxicyNon-escapable kernel call or something?05:47
bluefoxicyPidgin just froze stuck in state D, and when I killed itand brought it back up it went back to it immediately.05:47
jdongbluefoxicy: uninterruptable05:47
bluefoxicyok it's working again05:47
bluefoxicybut that's really strange05:48
jdongbut yeah  you have the right idea; most of the times that state is when it gets stuck on a syscall05:48
jdongi.e. disk IO, etc05:48
jdong*cough* Pulse/Alsa *cough*05:48
bluefoxicyhmm :|05:52
bluefoxicywell I didn't strace it and it's working now05:52
bluefoxicyIf I catch something later I'll file it05:52

detAre there any kind of estimates on how popcon installs figures relate to actual installs?10:05
RainCTdet: there are 800.000 submissions, so if we guess a user base of like 10 millions it would be around an 5-10%10:07
detSo, you are saying multiply the number of installs in popcon statistics by 10-20 to get the real number ?10:08
det(estimated)10:08
RainCTdet: Yes. I'm not sure how accurate the 10 millions are, though10:10
detThanks.10:12
detI wonder how popcon determines if someone uses a program "regularly".10:14
detI'll check the FAQ10:14
RainCTiirc it checks if it was executed within the last <insert timeframe>.10:15
RainCT«A computer 'vote' for a package if according to the data provided in the report, a program provided or depending on the package was used less than thirty days ago. This computation is performed by the popcon server.10:16

tombeeIs there any recommendations for an IDE when it comes to development within Ubuntu?11:46
tombeeI've had a look at Anjuta and Eclipse, certain things I like about each of them.11:47
Companytombee: there's also kdevelop11:47
Companytombee: but most of the ubuntu developers use pure text editors like vim and terminals11:48
siekaczis there any replacement for displayconfig-gtk?11:48
RainCTsiekacz: gnome-display-properties11:50
RainCTsiekacz: displayconfig-gtk has been obsoleted by changes in X.org11:50

LordMetroidWhat do a distro developer do? The kernel and all software is already coded, right?12:35
RainCTLordMetroid: package software, write/apply patches when necessary, etc.12:38
LordMetroidok12:38
CompanyLordMetroid: from my point of view, a distro developer a) is a link between his users and the kernel etc developers and b) works on integrating the kernel and all other things so they work fine together12:41
Company(but i'm not a distro developer, but a gnome developer)12:41

nhandlerIt looks like Debian has 2.0.dfsg1-4 as well as jaunty17:13
ebroderOh, hmm. packages.ubuntu.com didn't list it17:13

=== veloc1ty_ is now known as veloc1ty
glickhey does anyone know why my kernel debian subfolder is empty?17:51
glickwhen i download the the kernel sources17:51
ebroderDid you just download the .tar.gz file? Or did you get the .diff.gz as well?17:51
glickso when i try to run debian/rules i get a file not found17:51
glicki got the diff file as well17:52
ebroderAnd the diff was applied?17:52
glickno17:52
ebroderWell...then that's your problem :)17:52
glickthast not in the documentation17:53
ebroderWhat documentation did you read?17:53
glickhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile17:53
ebroderDid you do apt-get source linux-something?17:53
ebroder(That should apply the diff)17:53
glicki did apt-get linux-sources17:54
=== pgraner is now known as pgraner-afk
ebroderHuh?17:54
glicki also did apt-get build-dep linux-source17:55
glickwhich is an error17:55
ebroderRunning "apt-get linux-sources" wouldn't do anything17:55
ebroderBecause that's not an apt-get command17:55
ebroderUh...let's backtrack for a moment. What version of Ubuntu are you using?17:55
jdongapt-get source linux?17:55
glickibex17:56
ebroderjdong: That gives you linux-meta, I think17:56
jdongthe linux-source-`uname -r` distribution does *NOT* include debian/17:56
TheMusoapt-get source linux=version is what works, at least for me.17:56
jdongebroder: no, That's linux-meta :)17:56
jdonghttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux17:56
jdonglinux is the main Linux source package since hardy.17:56
glickwhats linux meta?17:56
ebroderOn Hardy, `apt-get source linux` gives me the source for linux-meta17:56
jdongthat's the one you want if you want debian/ too17:57
glickfirst, the docs say i need a package called linux-kernel-devel17:57
glickwhen i try to get that it says there is no such package17:57
jdongebroder: ack that's because apt-get source picks *binary* package names first :(17:58
jdongstupid thing.17:58
jdonggrab the version you want from https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux then17:58
jdonglinux-meta generates a binary package called linux17:58
jdongnow who's idea was that :)17:58
ebroderjdong: I know - I'm just saying that `apt-get source linux` won't DWYW17:59
pitticalc: MIR> ah, good; yes, it's MainInclusionReportTemplate18:00
glickso what do i need to get to compile the kernel?18:00
* TheMuso is finding himself not entirely surprised that a lot of people are online this morning.18:01
ebroderglick: Start with `apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)`18:01
StevenKTheMuso: Oh?18:01
jdongthat works too.18:01
TheMusoStevenK: I thought that a lot of people would be heading out to do things.18:01
TheMusoc18:01
glickok thats done ebroder18:02
ebroderOk. Then I think you want to do `apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)`18:02
ebroderThat'll download the source package for the kernel you're running18:02
glickok18:03
glicki got a .dsc file a deff file and a tar file18:03
ebroderYeah, it should unpack everything, too18:03
glickinto my current folder?18:04
ebroderIt should make a folder called linux-2.6.2718:04
ebroder...do you have build-essential installed?18:04
glickyes ebroder18:04
ebroderglick: ok, just checking. So is there a linux-2.6.27 folder?18:05
glickyes ebroder18:05
ebroderglick: So are you just trying to rebuild the kernel you're running? Or are you trying to do something to it?18:06
glickebroder, im trying to get a built tree so i can do some module devel18:06
ebroderglick: Ah, ok. Then just run `AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-FLAVOR`, where flavor is something like generic or server18:07
glickebroder, dont i have to do something with a config file?18:07
ebroderNot if you're not changing the config18:07
glicksweet18:07
glicklemme give it a shot18:08
jdongwait why do  you need a built tree to do module development?18:08

NCommanderI won't get to SF until Tuesday likely18:10
TheMusoOn that really sucks. When were you supposed to get here?18:10
jdongglick: no, the headers in linux-headers-generic are all that's necessary to build kernel modules18:11
jdongyou don't need a fully built kernel tree18:11
jdongjust like how with a kernel tree you only need "make modules_prepare"18:11
NCommanderTheMuso, tonight, 8PM PST18:11

RAOFtjaalton: I've stumbled across your xorg-jaunty blueprint, with the 'status of nouveau' question.  Nouveau is now buildable and useable on Jaunty's standard libdrm, and I've got a dkms'd build of the kernel modules in my PPA.23:42
directhexRAOF, is it generally usable, though?23:42
RAOFdirecthex: Absolutely.23:43
RAOFdirecthex: Moreso than nv on my hardware.23:43
directhexRAOF, does more than glxgears yet?23:43
RAOFYes.  But the interesting features aren't 3d, at least yet.23:43
RAOFWe wouldn't be shipping the 3d component.23:44
RAOFInteresting features are excellent 2d acceleration, dual head support, etc.23:44
directhexwhich are interesting features, then?23:44
RAOFThe aggressively-unsupported 3d (still) runs OpenArena at good framerates on my lappy, but many other apps either hit slow paths or don't work properly.23:45
directhexthe problem with openarena as a benchmark is it's a 9 year old engine23:47
RAOFRight.  The 3d isn't ready to be used yet.23:47
* directhex is mostly waiting for 4000-series intel support to improve enough that he can run a game on his laptop without X falling over dead23:49
jdongha you're joking.23:49
