maxbHmm, I just used requestsync, but it subscribed ubuntu-release, not ubuntu-main-sponsors, despite the fact I used -s and am not a core-dev02:54
maxbthat's a bug?02:54
neatojonesHello.  I'm running Jaunty with latest updates and can't get the kernel module "loop" to load.  It doesn't appear to be in the kernel modules.  Does anyone know where I could get this for Jaunty?03:20
neatojonesI was expecting the module to be in /lib/modules/2.6.28-7-generic/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko03:20
dtchenneatojones: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y03:25
neatojonesSo, I need to recompile the kernel with that?03:25
maxbNo, it means it's builtin03:25
dtchenneatojones: no, it's compiled in now and hence not a module.03:25
maxb2.6.28-7-generic is far away from the latest updates, btw03:26
neatojonesoh. So, just run that command?03:26
dtchenit was changed in 2.6.28-4.503:26
dtchenit's not a command; it's from the kernel configuration03:26
dtcheni.e., you don't need to modprobe loop. it's already loaded.03:27
neatojonesthanks03:28
neatojonesI keep getting errors sayign that it isn't loaded03:28
neatojoneswhich is why I thought I needed to  load it.03:28
neatojones...but no wonder modprobe wasn't working :)03:29
neatojonesMy script is returning this error:  raise OSError("Error loading kernel module %s" % (mod,))03:30
neatojonesoops...wrong part.03:30
neatojonesOSError: Error loading kernel module loop03:30

doctormoHey guys, I'm looking for translation tools for svg files.03:34
johanbrdoctormo: I'd be surprised if such a thing exists.03:38
johanbrYou can always make a script that replaces <text> tags in the svg file, I guess.03:38
doctormojohanbr: Er, I'm after something that uses switch tags and languageSetting attributes propperly. svg does support i18n, just getting those into the launchpad translations is hard.03:39
johanbrdoctormo: oh, I see03:47
doctormojohanbr: indeed, infact editing language specific text works in inkscape, it's just a matter of being able to generate a pot file and then recombine the po files back into the svg.03:48

pittiI hope that this bzr branch & rosetta marriage in LP wasn't just an April's fool, this sounds like a great feature08:31

mvoeh, no need to modify :)08:58

mvopitti: I check it out how robust this will be, I do not want to add late breakage :)09:04
pittimvo: it indeed sounds intrusive, downloading that deb first, extracting, etc.09:04
pittimvo: perhaps just add the current jaunty conffile for now, and disable the code for final?09:04

thekornpitti, :) that's fine11:34
pittiogra: nodeadkeys FTW (but I'm usually using US layout)11:34
ograpitti, right, its the only default i have to change in all my live installation tests and i was wondering if selecting nodeadkeys as a default wouldnt be cleverer11:35
ograi personally dont know anyone not using nodeadkeys11:35
pittiwell, I find it a "programmers" vs. "letter writers" issue11:35
pittimy wife occasionally needs accents11:36
pittiand she doesn't do shell backticks, etc.11:36
ograhmm11:36
ograi wonder if we should do a strawpoll on the de ML11:36

gopogoCan I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop ..........I want use it on Dads 15 inch centrino laptop with 1 gb ram11:36

cjwatsonwell, it sounds like a legitimate complaint, I'm just explaining how it came about11:40

ograpitti is right though, it migth be different for textwriters11:41
cjwatsonalthough for the record I can't find any evidence that nodeadkeys used to be used by default11:41

pittibecause vim keybindings, C/Python operators, LaTeX commands etc. were all designed to be convenient to type on the US keyboard11:42
cjwatsonogra: no11:42
cjwatsonogra: xserver-xorg.postinst chose deadkeys or not based on the installer-selected keymap11:42

ograi thought i saw something hardcoded in dexconf, but i might misremember11:43
ograits a while ago i looked at it11:43

kadyJust checking of you are the person to talk to about state of OO.o ?18:07
kenvandine_wksabdfl: thanks... i want to see more stuff using the cool indicator stuff!18:08
calckady: yes18:08
calckady: whats up?18:09
kadycalc: what is the state of the KDE 4 builds18:09
kadyI heard they are turned off due to problems ?18:09
calckady: there is no KDE 4 support in OOo period18:09
NCommandercjwatson, so I determined the reason behind the 0 for password expiration age getting written to the shadow file; we set that via login.defs, but removing unfortunately does not solve the issue. It seems if password age == 0, you MUST change your password even if the password aging fields are blank.18:09
calckady: at the source level, so no way to really enable it for builds, it only halfway worked to compile but it didn't actually function properly since OOo does not support KDE418:09
kadycalc: not even disabled?18:09
kadycalc: any plans to?18:10
calckady: no there is no code written to support KDE4 in OOo18:10
calckady: maybe long term, there is a novell guy who does all the KDE support, but he does a lot of other work too so hasn't had time to write kde4 support for OOo18:10
calckady: if you want to write the support you are welcome to :)18:10
kadycalc: That's what I was trying to get to who is in charge of that18:11
kadythere is a kde.oo.o site that hasn't been touched for years18:11
NCommandercjwatson, thats an intentional behavior, so now the question is; what do we do to get that field blank?18:11
kadythe "team" is dead18:11
kady?18:11
kadysounds like it if the one person who can do anything is not even working on OO.o18:12
calckady: jan holesovsky (Kendy on irc) is who works on it, the official novell build is called go-oo / ooo-build which is available at go-oo.org18:12
kadygo-oo is what Ubuntu uses I heard18:12
kadyNo idea of the truth of that18:13
calckady: yes it is18:13
calckady: he's mentioned on that page you linked to: "Jan Holesovsky /kendy at openoffice org/"18:13
kadyok thanks18:14
calche still does a lot of work on OOo but just doesn't have time to fix up for KDE418:14
calci think Novell doesn't ship kde418:14
kadyDo you know what were the problems they were having18:14
kadycalc: They have nightly builds of KDE4 so ....18:14
calckady: ah ok18:14
calckady: i think its just a time issue of he hasn't had time to write the kde4 file dialog and maybe some other stuff18:15
calci do know at least that the kde4 file dialog is not done18:15
kadycalc: might be better to try and build somethign a little more long term than a 2 week push then18:15
kadyKDE4 is still in flux and I would expect thigns needt o get tweaked as time goes by and OO.o and KDE4 improve18:16
kadymight make more sense to try and get three interested people to work with this18:16

kadyI'll try and contact him18:16

kadycalc: Does Ubuntu plan to package OO.o extentions they way they do FF ?18:18
askandHi!  I remember seeing a nice tool that helps you get the right format in the changelogfile? what was that?18:21
LaserJockaskand: dch ?18:21
calckady: if someone wants to do it they can18:22
calckady: i have no plans to package all the extensions in the world myself18:22
calckady: we have a few extensions packaged and maybe a few with each new release will be done, but not all of them by any stretch18:22
askandLaserJock: thanks18:23
kadycalc: oh no not at all :) packaging all the FF extensions would be an exercise in exhaustion that I hope would be done as a sacrifice in the name of science :)18:24
kadybut the idea is to provide useful functionality without having people wander around the net installing things18:25
kadyI would argue that OO.o is probably more in need of that service than FF18:25
