PollywogI am getting crashes from Konqueror in Hardy but there are no debugging symbols and no konqueror-dbg  or -dbgsym packages.  Is there something I can do to enable debugging?00:51
Laneybah, why leave so quickly00:56
TheMusocalc: BTW you said the other day that you couldn't find the CONFIG_LBD kernel config option. I am guessing you are running amd64, and 64-bit systems don't need that option so far as I understand it, since they are able to handle large block devices natively. 32-bit systems need that option, I'm guessing again because particular code is needed to allow for that support.01:42
calcTheMuso: ah ok02:19
lamontI wonder.  how do I get do-release-upgrade -d to _not_ download all the -dbg packages?03:02

GuyFromHellso it appears NotifyOSD's wiki page lies, can someone tell me if this is a feature or a bug? if a bug i'll fix the wiki. It appears that replaced_id has to be set as well (in addition to title and coming from same program) for concatenation to work, which is not what "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Concatenating existing bubbles" says03:23
GuyFromHellpretend i spelled the important parts of that correctly >_>03:23
ScottKGuyFromHell: #dx or #ayatana are probably better channels to ask as that's where the developers of notify-osd hang out.03:24
GuyFromHellScottK, dx and ayatana? random enough names but i'll head on over there...03:24
ScottKdx is short fo 'desktop experience'.  No idea about the provenence of the other one.03:25

calcrobbiew: good evening03:32
robbiewcalc: hi03:32
calcrobbiew: hey i meant to ask you before did you know a guy named Seth Burgess when you went to TAMS?03:33
robbiewcalc: heh...yeah03:33
robbiewcan't match the face right now...but remember the name for sure03:33
DaemonFChmm, I did some benchmarking in Jaunty and found that XFS is still beating everything else03:34
DaemonFCincluding Ext4 :)03:34
calcrobbiew: he lived in my neighborhood and i went to school with his younger brother at our local Math/Sci magnet school, heh03:34
robbiewcalc: :)03:35
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, you try btr or r4 in there by any chance? i'm curious :P03:35
robbiewcalc: small world03:35
calcrobbiew: yea, i noticed you went there when looking at your facebook profile a while back03:35
DaemonFCExt3/4, ReiserFS, JFS, and XFS in boot time and disk I/O03:35
DaemonFCXFS ate everything else for breakfast03:36
robbiewcalc: yep...proud class of `94! :P03:36
* calc 's wife is watching mama mia, and is astounded she has never heard ABBA before03:36
calcrobbiew: i graduated in 95 :)03:36
DaemonFCstrangely Ext3 beat Ext4 in disk throughput03:36
DaemonFC51 MB/sec for Ext3, and 41 for Ext403:36
DaemonFCcompared with 57 for XFS03:36
calcrobbiew: so was that equivalent to graduating from HS in 92 or did they have a HS graduation and then the next 2 years for college (i never looked into how that worked)03:37
DaemonFCExt4 seems to be a regression in some cases03:37
calcDaemonFC: it looks like the kernel guys (upstream) are working on getting things working better, see the lkml 2.6.29 several hundred post thread, very funny in places03:37
DaemonFCGuyFromHell: ReiserFS tied with Ext3 for disk throughput, but took almost twice the time to boot03:38
DaemonFCdue to reiserfsck03:38
robbiewcalc: well..we had a graduation ceremony, but left with around 60 college credits03:38
calcDaemonFC: last time i used XFS it also ate itself for breakfast :\03:38
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, and i believe reiser mount time is utter carp in general but i'm sure if you tested only small files it would be the other way ;)03:38
calcrobbiew: ah ok03:38
DaemonFCcalc, that bug was fixed in 200703:38
DaemonFCaccording to eric Sandeen03:38
robbiewcalc: so pretty much like leaving in '92, but we had to take certain courses to meet Texas Education Agency requirements03:38
calcDaemonFC: yea, still kept me from wanting to try it again :\03:38
calcrobbiew: i see03:38
robbiewcalc: so I ended up with a lot of wasted credits...for a CS degree :P03:39

DaemonFCnotice how Reiser flatlines03:39
DaemonFCwhen it gets to reiserfsck03:39
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, so i'm a bit curious, i thought there was an outstanding bug on XFS not being able to be used for the grub partition03:39
DaemonFCand then gets going agin after about 10 seconds03:39
DaemonFClol03:39
DaemonFCGuyFromHell: In Ubuntu's setup, yes03:40
DaemonFCDebian has supported that since Etch03:40
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, huh, you mean i was using ext2 there for no reason >_>03:40
DaemonFCI filed a bug on that and it was fixed the same day oddly enough03:40
DaemonFCin Ubuntu03:40
DaemonFCright before Jaunty Alpha 503:41
DaemonFCabout 5-6 days before03:41
DaemonFCyeah, Debian supports booting on XFS, so does Mandriva, Ubuntu does now03:41
DaemonFCSuse will complain about it and tell you you need to make a boot disk03:41
DaemonFCbut using xkill on that prompt it goes and isntalls GRUB on the hard disk anyway03:42
GuyFromHell>_>03:42
DaemonFCheh03:42
DaemonFCI like XFS, and I trust that Eric Sandeen knows what he's talking about03:43
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, you should cover btrfs and reiser4 too if you're still bored :P03:43
DaemonFChe's the lead file system engineer at Red Hat and before that he worked at SGI on XFS03:43
calci'll stick to ext3 until i see progress from the current flame war, it looks like something positive might result from the discussion03:44
DaemonFCUbuntu doesn't support either03:44
DaemonFCor I would have03:44
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, lol, i don't think anything "supports" either :P03:45
DaemonFCFedora does03:46
DaemonFCBtrFS anyway03:46
DaemonFCin 11 Alpha03:46
DaemonFCtype icantbelieveitsnotbtr on the installer line03:46
DaemonFCI tried it and I didn't really like it03:47
GuyFromHellbtr?03:47
DaemonFCit's really really slow at this point03:47
DaemonFCyes03:47
GuyFromHellDaemonFC, it is still like alpha03:47
GuyFromHellso i mean03:47
GuyFromHellit's to be slightly expected03:47
DaemonFCyeah03:48
DaemonFCthat's why I'm not benchmarking it til it's reasonably "there"03:48
DaemonFCI don't want to drag its name through the mud while it's still pre-alpha03:48
DaemonFCXFS reads at platter speed on all my stuff03:50
DaemonFCso I don't think BtrFS is going to improve on it in speed03:50
DaemonFCThat was such a nuisance when Ubuntu was setting up GRUB to be stupid though03:51
ScottKThis really doesn't have a lot to do with actual development of Ubuntu.03:52
DaemonFCone big reason GRUB didn't used to support XFS is because XFS puts the Superblock at the first sector of the root partition03:52
DaemonFCand GRUB couldn't deal with that03:52
ScottKThere is #ubuntu-offtopic for general chitchat.03:53
calcScottK: is there anything special i need to do for sync requests at this time in the cycle? i pointed to the bug that the three requests help to resolve in their bug reports, wasn't sure if anything else would be needed03:59
ScottK calc: Is it a bugfix only change?04:00
calcScottK: yea only new debian revisions no new upstream changes04:01
ScottKcalc: Then no, just subscribe the archive as usual.04:01
calchmm actually one of the packages is newer than what we have, they are dictionaries though so can't really explode04:01
calcnewer upstream i mean04:02

LaserJockhmm, is Conflicts really appropriate for brasero/nautilus-cd-burner?18:43
savvasLaserJock: I was wondering about the same thing18:50
LaserJockI mean, sure you end up with 2 burn-to-disc items in the context menu, but in order to get nautilus-cd-burner back I have to get rid of all of brasero18:51

savvasso I guess there isn't anything that deprecates it, other than the fact that they both serve the same thing :P19:03
savvasshould I file a bug to lift the conflict? or does this mean that nautilus-cd-burner will not be maintained anymore?19:04
LaserJockwell, I see the point of the conflict, it'd just be nice if we had a more elegant solution19:05
LaserJockit's not exactly the proper use for Conflicts but it does the job I guess19:05
ScottKLaserJock: I'd suggest if there's no file level conflict it's a policy violation.  If brasero needs to swapped in upgrade, mvo should add logic for that in update-manager.19:16
LaserJockScottK: yeah, that seems like a much better way of handling it19:18
ScottKWe did it that was for multiple packages for kubuntu-desktop.19:19

savvasScottK: but will nautilus-cd-burner be supported upstream? if not, wouldn't it be better to ask for a package removal? Or is it too early for such action? :\19:22
ScottKsavvas: Generally we let it drop to Universe and stay until it's not supportable.19:22
ScottKsavvas: The idea in Ubuntu is to have one supported way, but let options stay in Universe.19:23
savvasaaah, ok, I'll file a bug against brasero then :)19:23
