TheMusoNice to know some people care about ports around here. :)00:00
directhexi care about ports00:01
directhexwho wants to help fix media handling in moonlight on big endian arches. anyone?00:02
TheMusodirecthex: Whats the problem exactly?00:02
RiddellI'm sure Microsoft would be happy to help :)00:03
TheMusoheh00:03
directhexTheMuso, some bug in the demuxer00:03
TheMusoah00:03
TheMusoCount me out. :)00:04
dtchenTheMuso: what are some disadvantages of reverting PA's 0004_disable_autospawn.patch?00:06
sistpotydirecthex: /me would probably spot endienass problems, as he's a cause of them in a number of own-written files *g*00:06
TheMusodtchen: If people have pulseaudio installed on a {k,x,myth}(u)buntu install, and go to use an alsa app, it will start, and possibly cause them confusion when things don't behave as expected.00:07
directhexsistpoty, well, feel free to take a look. there's an open upstream bug... https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44368800:07
ubottubugzilla.novell.com bug 443688 in media "ASF code assumes little-endian cpu" [Enhancement,Assigned]00:07
TheMusodtchen: THats one off the top of my head.,00:07
TheMusoor if a user disables pulse for GNOME, but still has it installed, it will start anyway.00:07
sistpotydirecthex: that bug isn't saying very much? any hint to a file?00:08
dtchenyeah, i was thinking of those, but i'm weighing those against the nonexistent stream/connection refused bugs00:09
savvashm..00:09
dtchen^ TheMuso00:09
TheMusodtchen: Right.00:09
savvasrealtek ethernet is not working in intrepid -11-generic, it worked fine in -9-generic - here's the diff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117888/00:09
dtchenTheMuso: how do you feel about setting tsched=0 in default.pa for the next upload?00:10
TheMusodtchen: Very strongly in fact.00:10
TheMusosavvas: What realtek chip exactly? I am using a realtek onboard device here with no issues.00:10
dtchenTheMuso: strongly opposed to or in favour of?00:10
directhexsistpoty, upstream would know more. at a guess, something in src/asf/00:10
=== blueyed_ is now known as blueyed
TheMusodtchen: Strongly in favour of.00:10
sistpotydirecthex: /me downloads...00:11
dtchenTheMuso: ok00:11
savvasTheMuso: I'm helping out a user, here's the working set of lspci -nnv: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117874/00:12
TheMusosavvas: right thats not my chip./00:14
TheMusodtchen: If you are on a role with the pulse branch, feel free to throw those changes in yours, and I'll just mergte and upload when I next get to the audio stack, which will be Monday at the earliest.00:14
TheMusoSince I am not currently working, I intend to spend time on other things that I care about as a community member.00:14
TheMusoYay, now new kernels can be on ports disks.00:20
dtchenTheMuso: yep, already pushed to my branch, but i'm going to test the autospawn change more heavily before i commit it00:25
TheMusodtchen: Sure.00:26
sistpotydirecthex: sorry, can't help you right now... I just can't find any src/asf (or anything that might relate to it)00:29
sistpotygn8 everyone00:30
* calc thought xubuntu was supposed to be lighter weight than gnome but seems about the same with jaunty02:18
TheMusocalc: its XFCE 4.6, so theres a chance that some optimization has not yet been done.02:23
calcTheMuso: ah ok02:44
calcTheMuso: well both gnome and xfce seem to take ~ 280MB after boot02:44
calcTheMuso: i'm not sure if 280MB is high or low for them02:44
TheMusoRight02:44
TheMusoI thought you meant speed02:45
calcah ok, i thought it used less memory as well, but maybe not02:45
TheMusoI don't know either.02:45
TheMusoScottK: lol qt4-11 eventually built.02:48
ScottKTheMuso: Yeah.  Third time was the charm.02:49

ScottKTheMuso: Congratulations again.  All ports arch in one upload.05:28
ScottKTheMuso: Have you considering getting linux-ports listed in p-a-s so it doesn't try to build on archs it's not relevant for?05:28
TheMusoScottK: Yeah, I am pleased. I got meta uploaded too, so I can now go ahead and change ports disks.05:28
TheMusoScottK: p-a-s?05:28
TheMusoScottK: considering the main kernel is not listed as such, then I don't see the need.05:30
TheMusoScottK: I.e the main kernel still is attempted on powerpc/sparc/ia64/hppa05:30
ScottKTheMuso: Packages-arch-specific.  It's not critical, but it always seemed cleaner to me not to build on archs it's not needed for.05:32
TheMusoScottK: I agree. How does one get that changed?05:33
ScottKThere is on packages arch specifc file that is used by both Debian and Ubuntu.  It's maintained in Debian.  I don't recall (as it changed recently) the specifics, but Phil Kern mailed ubuntu-devel about it.05:34
TheMusoHrm ok.05:35
ScottKTheMuso: The old procedure was "Ask lamont."05:35
TheMusoheh right.05:35
TheMusoIts not much of a bother really.05:35
TheMusoAnd would be a problem if the mobile guys decided to throw a kernel or two to ports for arm.05:35
TheMusobut thats speculating.05:35
TheMusoor any other variant/arch in fact.05:36
ScottKTrue.05:37
ScottKI guess particularly since there may be a new port coming soonish.05:37
ScottKSomeone messed up and mentioned it here the other day.05:38
TheMusoRight.05:38
StevenKScottK: We might end up forking P-a-s, due to stuff05:50
ScottKStevenK: I'm aware of the stuff.  But until we do ....05:51

savvasis the default security repository security.ubuntu.com or archive.ubuntu.com ?12:09
jpdssecurity.12:14
savvasthanks :)12:17
directhex"yes"12:17
savvasjpds: I'm asking because in jaunty because the default uses archive.ubuntu.com12:18
jpdssavvas: I thought security. was best to point at, because the users wouldn't have to want for the mirrors to update to get the fixes.12:19
jpdss/want/wait/12:20
savvasgood point12:20
Laneysavvas: security probably hasn't been opened for jaunty12:20
Laneysince updates are just done in the main archive12:20
Laneyit should be there after release I guess12:20
savvasok :)12:21
geserhttp://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-security/ exists already but is of course still empty12:24

StevenKmok0: There are no clear indications of what the Ubuntu changes are, and that the Debian package has merged them12:42

Mezwho runs the fridge nowadays? cause someones cocked up and put their own stuff in the Calendar :D13:30
nhandlerMez: Anyone can add events to the calendar now. It is a Google Calendar13:30
nhandlerWhere is the personal event?13:31
Meznhandler: only if they're given access to add events ... :D13:31
nhandlerMez: Not true13:31
nhandlerMez: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/Calendar13:32
Meznhandler: 20/2 - "busy"13:32
Meznhandler: I have only read access...13:32
nhandlerI think I know what happened. Whoever added the Jaunty Weekly Release Meetings told gcal to "mark me as busy"13:33
* Mez shrugs13:33
Meznhandler: they've also changed the times that it was (it was originally the same times as the meeting, now changed to be different13:34
jpdsMez: Best talk to boredandblogging.13:35
nhandlerYou can also try pinging robbiew about it. I believe you can modify events that you add13:36
geserjust noticed the descriptions for events have a google map link. It's really useful if you don't know where to find e.g. #ubuntu-meeting :)13:36
jpds...who's not around at the moment.13:36
nhandlergeser: That just got added in the most recent gcal update13:36

LaserJockanybody know of Ubuntu is likely to be a GSoC mentoring organization this year?17:15
MithrandirI'd be surprised if it wasn't17:15
LaserJockit wasn't last year I don't think17:15
Mithrandirhm, indeed.17:16
LaserJockI've got 2 Edubuntu projects that I think would be perfect for it17:16
ScottKI'm pretty sure Kubuntu would have stuff too.17:23
apwpitti, ok pushed up a re-write of the suspend/resume apport support to  lp:~apw/apport/suspend-resume-pt3, this now includes a move to common messages for cli, gtk, and qt, to simplify internationlisation and has your other internationalisation concerns sorted i hope.17:38
davidrod`When I use network-manager on kde all the boxes are ghosted and it is broken.  When I use it on ubuntu it forgets my setting with a reboot.  I am sure that this is a bug20:54
davidrod`I wanted to change user to root but it won't let me.  I was thinking that there must be some permissions wrong, but on what files and where?  With BSD they tell you. With Ubuntu this is a mystery20:56
ScottKdavidrod`: What release are you using?21:10
davidrod`Linux david-laptop 2.6.24-a21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux21:31
davidrod`It is a pain because I have no other reason to move away from ubuntu right now.  Is there some hack I can perform to write my network details into a file?21:35
ion_0) Is that really an Ubuntu kernel? I don’t remember there being an “a21” in the version field. I might be wrong, of course. 1) Can you try upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release? 2) You can use ifupdown instead of network-manager by configuring /etc/network/interfaces.21:39
ScottKdavidrod`: Alternatively since you're using KDE, use KNetworkManager.21:40
davidrod`Linux david-laptop 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux21:41
davidrod` I couldn't find any documentation about how to use WEP with ifup.  When I type knetworkmanager nothing happened.22:04
davidrod`Is there no readme file anyway in /usr22:06
ScottKdavidrod`: KNetworkManager is part of the default kubuntu-desktop.  It should be a point-click thing.22:18
ScottKdavidrod`: Also this is not a support channel so for further help you should probably ask in #kubuntu.22:18
=== Omegamoon|away is now known as Omegamoon
davidrod`It has been critised with ubuntu that if it does not work out of the box, what then?  My wireless has been broken for months. There is no docs. no FAQ.  everything is aimed so low, that unless I have been developping the kernel for years I cannot find any middle ground.  I asked in #Ubuntu several times, over weeks and months.  In there they just shout "Try blackbox. NO. Fluxbox. EDuntu. Gnome. KDE. etc. etc.22:32
ScottKdavidrod`: I can't tell you for sure.  It worked out of the box on Hardy for me.22:35
shtylman_davidrod: you don't use wep with ifup22:42
shtylman_davidrod: you use wep with iwconfig, ifup and down just bring up or tear down interfaces respectively22:42
shtylman_davidrod: chances are...if you can't find documentation on how to do something like that and google doesnlt help, you may be trying to pair the wrong two things and ask the question differently22:43
davidrod`well ifconfig wlan0 up does exactly the same?22:54
davidrod`I am thinking of abandonning ubuntu and going to Gentoo simply because of my wireless22:56
shtylman_davidrod: nope, iwconfig is for configuration22:56
shtylman_davidrod: ok, I mean...I think you should use what you like...but if you are abandoning ubuntu because stuff 'doesn't work out of the box' then gentoo really won't be right for you either22:57
davidrod`I don't want out of the box. I want to be able to set configuration files myself. On BSD each interface has it own file. Good idea. Manuals and FAQ explain what to do.  I hope Gentoo won't think that I am unable to type22:59
shtylman_davidrod: you can set configuration files all you want... I really don't see what your complaint is...and as stated before, its not development related so best ask in one of the support channels23:01
