[00:03] <RainCT> persia: but then I have to add it to the several files for each architecture (whereas in debian/control it only needs to be added once), or?
[00:12] <RainCT> Well, I'm off..
[00:13] <RainCT> persia: Thanks. (Feel free to send me a memo if you fell like answering my last question :))
[00:13] <RainCT> good night all
[02:15] <terli> how do you cat FROM a terminal's input to a file?
[02:23] <tbrock> hey guys I'm looking for a developer mentor
[02:24] <tbrock> or someone to point me in the right direction to get started
[02:24] <tbrock> and i was hoping this was the place
[02:28] <tbrock> anyone around? i know its a friday night but... haha
[02:29] <Adri2000> tbrock: please join #ubuntu-motu
[02:42] <tbrock> oh thanks
[02:42] <tbrock> apologies
[03:15] <cjwatson> terli: assuming you start cat from the terminal in question, then surely its standard input will already be the same as the terminal's input, so you just need 'cat >file' or 'cat >>file' (depending on whether you want overwrite or append)
[03:25] <terli> ok cjwatson let me run this simple script on you
[03:25] <terli> colaudio(){ cat | > XTR;}
[03:25] <terli> cataudio(){ echo "$XTR" > /dev/audio; echo "$XTR";}
[03:25] <terli> while [ true ]
[03:25] <terli> do
[03:25] <terli> colaudio; cataudio;
[03:25] <terli> done
[03:25] <terli> that is the sum and the square of my insanity.
[03:30] <cjwatson> terli: I'm not sure what you think "cat | > XTR" is supposed to do, and the following line seems to suggest that you're confusing files and variables. Furthermore 'while [ true ]' is a strange way to say 'while true'
[03:31] <terli> it was in the manual *sheepish*
[03:31] <terli> I was originally using [ 1=1 ]
[03:32] <terli> my question is how to run the script, add input while script is running, and have the script process the input
[03:32] <cjwatson> [ anything ] means "is 'anything' a string of non-zero length"
[03:32] <cjwatson> you might need a better manual ...
[03:33] <cjwatson> perhaps what you are looking for is replacing that whole script with 'tee /dev/audio'?
[03:34] <terli> omg
[03:34] <terli> where did that come from!?!?
[03:34] <cjwatson> assuming that I've understood what you're trying to do correctly (a program that takes its standard input and writes it both to its standard output and /dev/audio"
[03:34] <cjwatson> )
[03:34] <terli> o yes its just supposed to echo my noisy typing to dev/audio
[03:34] <cjwatson> if you don't need to write it to its standard output as well, you could just say 'cat >/dev/audio'
[03:35] <ebroder> Be careful with tee - it does do some buffering of some sort
[03:35] <terli> well that command works but I cant hear it
[03:35] <cjwatson> there's no need for all that complicated cat/echo stuff which isn't going to do anything like what you want anyway
[03:35] <ebroder> terli: Try just using cat >/dev/audio if you can survive without seeing it; there might be buffering happening
[03:36] <terli> I can't hear it like that either
[03:36] <terli> its sending everything to a second buffer
[03:36] <cjwatson> if you really want to do line-at-a-time stuff and strictly avoid buffering, then a working translation would be 'while true; do read line; echo "$line" >/dev/audio; echo "$line"; done' - but if you can't hear it when you type at 'cat >/dev/audio' directly then you have a lower-level problem
[03:38] <terli> there is ONE issue
[03:38] <terli> I'm hacking on parallels
[03:38] <terli> and I had to copy bash onto bin
[03:38] <terli> I mean bash onto sh
[03:39] <cjwatson> that's a bug in whatever script can't cope with /bin/sh not being bash
[03:39] <cjwatson> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
[03:39] <terli> sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old && sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh is the command I had to run
[06:39] <karthik_> hey
[06:39] <karthik_> need some help in programmin
[06:40] <karthik_> how do write a prog so that using that i shd be able to switch workspaces
[06:45] <stgraber> karthik_: please read the channel's topic. It's about the development of Ubuntu not developing on Ubuntu
[06:47] <karthik_> stgraber: hey i'm not developing on ubuntu.. i just want to know how ubuntu does it internally
[07:07] <Treenaks> karthik_: look at libwnck
[07:08] <Treenaks> karthik_: Ubuntu does it the same way as other Gnome-using distributions
[07:08] <Treenaks> karthik_: http://library.gnome.org/devel/libwnck/stable/
[07:11] <karthik_> Treenaks: ok i'll try
[08:17] <fabbione> soren: ping?
[09:50] <pitti> ScottK: sorry, I'm still on holiday, didn't have time for archive admin stuff
[09:53] <pitti> cjwatson: one day earlier> I admit I sometimes do that as well when I'm in a SRU cleanup mode..
[11:10] <isle85> Hi, need help to build a debian/watch file for my package. its name is :  genj-arvernes_2008.12.26-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[11:12] <directhex> isle85, and what's the url for the orig.tar.gz for that deb?
[11:12] <isle85> I wrote that in it :
[11:12] <isle85> version=3
[11:12] <isle85> http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/genj-arvernes-(.*)\.tar\.gz
[11:15] <directhex> that wasn't technically the question. i asked the url for the tar.gz, not the contents of your watchfile
[11:15] <isle85> sorry : http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/
[11:17] <directhex> http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz
[11:17] <directhex> The requested URL /files/genj_classic/genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz was not found on this server.
[11:19] <isle85> maybe my mistake as I named genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz as genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.orig.tar.gz
[11:19] <directhex> sigh.
[11:20] <directhex> look, i'm not trying to irrutate here, but there seems to be some kind of barrier going on. a watch file needs to know the exact path of the file to download for a specific version. when i say "what's the url for the orig.tar.gz for that deb" i literally mean "what's the full url to the file you download and rename as genj-arvernes_2008.12.26.orig.tar.gz"
[11:20] <directhex> also, this is for #ubuntu-motu, not #ubuntu-devel
[11:21] <isle85> sorry directhex. Thank you for helping.
[11:23] <directhex> as an example, a watch file saying "  http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono-basic/ mono-basic-([.\d]+)\.tar\.bz2" is used to download http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono-basic/mono-basic-2.0.tar.bz2
[11:23] <isle85> ok, understood. Thanks
[11:24] <directhex> as far as i can tell, that upstream doesn't even have versioned source tarballs
[11:25] <isle85> I'm totally new to that, and I tried to help to distribute a program people here write. I've been successfull to build an ubuntu package, now I would like to make it easier for people to be up to date with it. I'm learning , sorry.
[11:26] <directhex> the path to the source seems to be http://www.arvernes.com/V1/pages/compteur_dl.php?/files/genj_classic/genj_src.zip
[11:27] <directhex> but that's unversioned AND requires repacking from zip
[11:30] <isle85> hmm, now the file is there : ﻿http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/ubuntu/genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz
[11:36] <directhex> you seem to have picked an inordinately complex example to build a watch file for
[11:37] <isle85> I've downloaded lots of source files, and try to find out and understand the way it works looking into them
[11:37] <directhex> that orig can't be used as-is, it contains an enormous quantity of binaries, which aren't permitted in source tarballs
[11:38] <directhex> also, this is for #ubuntu-motu, not #ubuntu-devel
[11:39] <isle85> ok, I'm gonna join that chanel. thank you directhex.
[14:06] <lubosz> hi
[14:06] <lubosz> any ideas when the zsnes package will be fixed in intrepid?
[14:06] <lubosz> are there any intensions to do that?
[14:08] <lubosz> is this a support question? ^^
[14:09] <lubosz> this bug is open quite a long time now, and no one seems to care https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsnes/+bug/250425
[20:45] <restartme> Em
[20:45] <restartme> Hello :)
[20:46] <restartme> How can i run root shell or whatever it is... To Do sh '/home/martynas/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run\
[20:46] <restartme> ..
[20:47] <restartme> driver says... That i need to run it from somewhere...
[20:47] <restartme> I dont know where
[20:47] <ebroder> restartme: #ubuntu-devel is for Ubuntu development. Ask in #ubuntu
[20:48] <restartme> I have just installed ubuntu, and it's pissed me off so please help
[20:48] <restartme> So
[20:48] <restartme> Can't you just say how to boot cmd, not gui?
[20:48] <ebroder> restartme: This is not the right place to be asking. Ask in #ubuntu. People aren't going to help you in here
[20:48] <restartme> Oh
[20:49] <restartme> Is too hard for you
[20:49] <restartme> :(
[20:49] <restartme> ;(
[20:49] <restartme> devs
[20:49] <restartme> and don't know how to boot some shit..
[20:49] <restartme> Yeah right..
[20:50] <ebroder> Yep. And trolling and being belligerent is going to get you /all/ of the help in the world
[20:54] <Ng> restartme: if you're not comfortable with shells, installing the nvidia drivers by hand is probably not a good idea. they are packaged in Ubuntu (see System->Administration->Hardware Drivers)
[20:54] <rexbron> would someone be able to look at bug 311804?
[21:13] <restartme> linux crash
[21:13] <restartme> on update
[21:13] <restartme> what to do?
[21:13] <restartme> bus
[21:13] <restartme> bugs
[21:16] <joaopinto> restartme, the support channel is #ubuntu, not here
[21:24] <restartme> i am about not support

[23:20] <directhex> evening cjwatson
[23:22] <cjwatson> hello
[23:59] <shaya> wondering if in ubuntu kernel's there's a backwards compatible vfs_link ?
[23:59] <shaya> as ubuntu's has been modified (presumambly for apparmor)
