rippsIs it possible to have multiple bind-mounts in pbuilder?01:12
james_wripps: I believe so01:16
rippsjames_w: whenever I try to add a second path using : or | it glitches out on me.01:17
james_w       --bindmounts bind-mount-points01:17
james_w              Bind-mount the specified directories to inside the chroot.  bind-mount-points is a space-delimited list of directories to bind-mount.01:17
rippsjames_w: I'm trying put this all in my .pbuilderrc using the BINDMOUNTS variable. I need it for ccache and for parsing my result directory for packages.01:20
james_whave you tried:01:20
=== pochu_ is now known as pochu
james_wBINDMOUNTS="foo bar"01:20
ripps... I think that might be the only thing I haven't tried.01:20
rippsMan... now I feel real stupid.01:24
rippsHmmm... the script sees the package in /var/cache/pbuilder/result, but it won't allow it to be pulled in by depends...01:29
james_wpbuilder doesn't make the results available to subsequent builds01:30
james_whttp://paste.ubuntu.com/128031/ is what I use to make it do that, with an appropriate bind mount01:31
rippsjames_w: I know, that's why I setup a script to dpkg-scanpackages the results directory.01:31
rippsJames_w: cool your script worked01:40
james_wripps: glad to hear it01:40

wgrantIt's not.03:59
wgrantBut two people have asked about it in the past 24 hours.04:00
wgrantAnd there is a bug, with Low priority.04:00
wgrantAnd untargetted.04:00
ScottKLovely.04:01
* ScottK guesses the priority will change after the first Karmic autosync run.04:01
wgrantOr after a distroteam person pokes them.04:01
wgrantOr after seeing james_w's comment in the bug.04:01

harrisonyScottK: no04:28
ScottKTo get it done will take someone to make the new package.04:28
ScottKAlso it'd take a freeze exception to get it in late in the development cycle where we are now.04:29
ScottKIf the old one is not working, then that ought to be doable if someone makes the package.04:29

G__81I am interested in contributing to ubuntu. I have been using Linux for a pretty long time . I am interested in bug fixing and other activities but ve not done packaging11:28
G__81so can someone help me get started11:28
hyperairhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted11:28
directhexstart off looking at how to get bug fixes into packages, imho11:28
G__81i probably would like to get started with Packaging a little later on11:28
hyperairhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide11:29
surfazG__81, http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate11:29
hyperairjoin a loco team =p11:29
G__81i ve been contributing to fedora though fedora is really good with great respects and values i thought i could start contributing to Ubuntu from now on11:29
hyperairwhy the change of heart?11:29
G__81hyperair, yeah good question11:30
surfazKDE4? (Linus)11:30
G__81no i use gnome :)11:30
G__81i tried KDE4 but went to gnome :)11:30
G__81hyperair, what i like about Ubuntu is that when people contribute in Ubuntu, its recognized11:31
hyperairi started with gnome, tried kde3, went back to gnome, tried fluxbox, and e17, then went back to gnome. then i tried kde4, and then went back to gnome.11:31
hyperairlooks like gnome's the best for me =D11:31
hyperairG__81: it is?11:31
G__81hyperair, and its a really good thing and apart from it as a distro what i like i feel Ubuntu is quite stable that is fedora is a bleeding edge distro yesterday updated a package and i dont know what happened11:31
hyperairG__81: i mean it isn't with fedora?11:31
G__81i got screwed up11:31
G__81hyperair, you mean recognition ?11:32
hyperairG__81: yes11:32
G__81hyperair, its there if you take i ve my blog in Fedora and ve account too in Fedora Server but its not been advertised as what Ubuntu does thats from a process angle i am talking about.11:32
G__81hyperair, as a distro Fedora is good as well as bad if you are not lucky a particular day probably couple of days back i just updated one package and gone11:33
G__81with great difficulty i backed up the data and then had to reinstall it11:33
G__81X Server was flickering continuously no errors in X logs11:33
G__81so i was surprised and didnt know what to do11:33
G__81i work on the kernel and as well contribute to Quagga a lot so i thought moving to Ubuntu would hinder my development11:34
G__81thats the question i ve11:34
G__81currently11:34
hyperairwell we try not to have those happen here, but if you use ubuntu+1 it's bound to happen11:34
G__81if its off topic please execuse me11:34
G__81yeah thats acceptable :)11:35
hyperair=)11:35
G__81Ubuntu + 1 is acceptable :)11:35
hyperairit's probably not my place to say this, but welcome to ubuntu =p11:35
G__81thanks hyperair :)11:35
G__81hyperair, will it hinder the development as such ?11:35
G__81i contribute to quagga and i use UML and qemu in fedora to do it11:36
hyperairG__81: nah. shouldn't11:36
hyperairG__81: i use ubuntu as a platform to develop on. i think stability goes a long way in boosting productivity.11:36
hyperairi have no idea what UML is, but qemu definitely works over here11:37
G__81so i am concerned about those things in Ubuntu, I use a Fedora 8 file system but in Ubuntu i heard that when you create a Ubuntu File system using debootstrap the file system gets created but when i boot it with UML, my friend got 6 virtual consoles automatically being opened and all of them were login windows and finally he had to suppress 5 virtual console terminals from being opened so he fiddled with some etc/blah...and finally made that but still he11:38
G__81gets 6 but 5 disabled and one showing the login prompt11:38
G__81:)11:38
hyperairwell. i have no experience with UML11:41
hyperairusermode linux right?11:41
hyperairnever attempted it before11:41
pmjdebruijnit UML relevant for normal use anymore? with openvz/vserver/lxc?11:45
G__81yeah its User Mode Linux11:45
pmjdebruijnit seems UML is only relevant for kernel developers these days...11:45
G__81hyperair, yeah exactly i use it because i work on the kernel for office work though i am not a kernel developer listed in kernel.org :)11:46
G__81hyperair, and the most important fact is after fedora got corrupted i had to reinstall fedora which again took another 1 hr and then came the worst thing i had to download the updates using yum again11:47
G__81i missed aptonCD and hence i joined Packagekit and now i am in the process of writing a plugin kind of thing for Packagekit which imitates AptOnCD11:47
* hyperair doesn't like yum/rpm11:48
G__81and i like Launch Pad i just created an account and have kept it, I did it when i first tried Ubuntu in 7.0411:48
G__81and does Ubuntu have ambassadors too ? can i represent Ubuntu in my community ?11:49
directhexyes. wear a jaunty hat.11:49
G__81:)11:49
G__81lol11:49
G__81is it quite hard to become a Ubuntu Member ?11:50
directhexdepends. any hat shops near you?11:50
RainCTlol11:50
G__81directhex, no :) i would probably get Adidas there :)11:50

wattazoumhello all11:51
wattazoumI was looking at the file /etc/cron.daily/apt and I see a sleep there (like for 30 minutes). Does someone know why there is this sleep ?11:51
G__81but anyway my contributions would be recognized here so i would like to be part of it and improve it more :)11:52
G__81what mailing lists can i be part of11:52
wattazoumI would have think, we would sleep if someone is using an apt frontend11:52
G__81i am interested in bug fixing, some gnome development and testing too11:53
wattazoumbut if it's the case, we exit quietly11:53
wattazoumotherwise we will always sleep11:53
ScottKjames_w: (re new source packages): Great.  I've seen the bug now.  It looks like you were ahead of me.13:06
G__81hi hyperair installed Ubuntu 8.10 and its really good14:32
hyperairG__81: good to hear =)14:33
G__81i was able to concentrate on other things rather than customizing my system14:33
G__81which is the first thing i liked14:33
hyperairG__81: ah. well i generally customize my system before i begin work.14:43
hyperairG__81: and if i need stuff within closer reach then i customize it even more14:43
G__81hyperair, customization is fine but i hate installing courier fonts again and again when i install it newly in every system14:43
G__81hyperair, and the number of updates in fedora is too huge for me to download it everytime14:44
hyperairheh14:44
G__81i dont say fedora is bad but when i installed ubuntu now i am able to see the difference14:44
G__81hey now how do i start off with my contribution14:44
G__81i ve my LP account14:44
G__81i am not able to find any information on what has LP got to do with my contribution14:45
jdstrandRhonda: Laney and I were just talking about wesnoth. We ask that submitters follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures#Preparing%20an%20update, where it says that if you submit a patch or debdiff for a release, mark the task as 'In Progress'. We have scripts to point those out14:55
jdstrandRhonda: that said, it is always ok to ping a member of the security team regarding something you submitted14:56
hyperairG__81: LP has the bug tracker.14:58
jdstrandRhonda: we apologize that your patch has not been reviewed, but it has been flagged and someone will look at it next week, probably tomorrow14:59
hyperairG__81: generally you contribute by filing/fixing bugs14:59
G__81fixing can be by sending patches too right ?14:59
hyperairG__81: you mentioned you work on the kernel right? perhaps you might want to join the kernel team14:59
G__81yeah i ve not done packaging. I am basically into networking subsystem. The TCP/IP and those areas :)14:59
hyperairG__81: yeah, you can submit the patch in LP, and in upstream, and when upstream's done, backport the patch from upstream into the current version in ubuntu14:59
hyperairand so on14:59
G__81ok so its not that i ve to go only through debdiff i can do diff -ur and do the patch15:00
G__81right ?15:00
hyperairright15:00
hyperairyou can submit the patch, and wait for someone else to generate a debdiff15:01
hyperairbut if you could generate the debdiff with the patch in it, that would be better of course15:01
G__81ok so what mailing lists i can join15:01
savvasis anyone using python-zsi ? anyone cares to test a new merge for ubuntu? :P bug 23767415:01

G__81is there a channel for ambassadors ?15:04
hyperairambassadors?15:04
G__81yeah like in fedora we have fedora ambassadors who recruit people and who talk in conferences etc. how is it in ubuntu15:05
bersaceHi15:05
G__81or rather you could call it the marketing team15:05
bersaceIs there any chance to get gnome-scan 0.6.2 in jaunty universe ?15:05
G__81and one question are ubuntu releases supported for 18 months ?15:08
G__81i know there is LTS which is for 3 years in the desktop and whats with the other non-LTS releases15:08
JontheEchidna18 month for non-LTS, 3 years for desktop LTS, and I think 6 years for server LTS15:23
pochus/6/5/15:24
JontheEchidnayeah15:24
hyperairG__81: i think here it's the loco teams15:24
G__81it used to be 6 months before right  i mean the support for non-lts15:24
NafalloG__81: no15:30
Nafallothat have never ever been the case15:30
G__81k15:31
RainCTG__81: 6 months is the time it takes for a new version to be released15:33

* RainCT wonders why screensaver inhibit doesn't also disable the "dim screen on inactivity"16:40
superm1RainCT, perhaps that's X itself doing that dimming16:40
siretartsuperm1: sorry to hear that :( - can you draw back that application yourself?16:40
superm1rather than gnome-screensaver16:40
superm1siretart, well a better response is i dont know i have a time commitment to help out ~motu-media now :)16:41
superm1i'll see if i can withdraw the application myself16:41
RainCTsuperm1: well, but from my user POV I don't mind at all what's doing the dimming, I only know that I have to disable it because if I play a game it is dimmed and I don't want to have to enable/disable the option all the time16:41
RainCT:P16:41
superm1RainCT, well if this indeed what the problem is though, i'd consider that bug too16:42
superm1that inhibiting should set the X screensaver and power management settings too16:42
superm1play with xset a little bit and see if you can get it to stop.  if so, i think a patch should be very easy to gnome-screensaver to do that same functionality16:43
superm1siretart, i cant see any (logical) way to withdraw that application myself16:47
