Kanohi,did you patch busybox in order to boot from ext4?01:59
MattJhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/165234/02:16
MattJAnyone an idea of what might be going wrong?02:17
anderskMaybe your pbuilder chroot is missing universe?02:20
MattJAny idea how to add/check that? :)02:21
MattJI've had pbuilder working before, and I think I did exactly the same as last time02:22
andersk`pbuilder --login` might be the easiest way.02:23
MattJlibidn11-dev is in main02:23
MattJAh02:23
andersktxt2man is not.02:23
MattJIs there something I can do to make it persist? Changes seem to be lost as soon as I log out02:32
MattJI guess I should go find some pbuilder manual :)02:32
MattJI was following the packaging guide on the wiki02:32

jdstrandpitti: well, interestinly enough, I tried to do that with an important user of mine (my wife) who has an application that doesn't use the gnome print UI, and had no way to print to pdf without cups-pdf. I tired to kill it locally...17:00

jdstrandpitti: regardless, I've assigned the bug to you per your request. Feel free to 'Invalid'ate if you think that is the best course (I certainly see your point of view)17:02
pittijdstrand: well, I'll ponder it17:03
pittijdstrand: if the apparmor rules restrict access to /home thoroughly, it's probalby not too bad17:03

slangasekmvo: hmm; using the update-manager in jaunty-updates, I just had a weird experience where update-manager wanted me to have 50MB free on /usr when the actual update only required 123KB additional space17:21
mvoslangasek: 123kb addtional diskspace + 49mb downloaded debs? or were allt the debs downloaded already?17:22
mvoslangasek: is it reproducable?17:22
slangasekmvo: the .debs added up to < 5MB in size17:23
slangasekdunno; I can try downgrading those packages later to see17:23
mvoslangasek: right, sorry, I just checked the source and it has this as a safety buffer (min 50mb free) - I admit its a bit much17:24
slangasekah17:24
mvoslangasek: its a leftover from the days when the free space checker would only check for release upgrades, then 50mb extra was ok, but for normal updates with just 4 pkgs its not17:25

keesasac: right17:48
asackees: do you need it to be configured in there? otherwise just remove the eth6 entry from interfaces17:49
keesasac: ah, no, don't need it in there.  removing it will fix n-m to use it again?17:49
asackees: yeah. NM runs in ifupdown-unmanaged mode by default. so everything configured in there will be ignored. two ways to fix this: a) remove that configureation (preferred), b) enable managed mode in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf17:50
keesah-ha, yes, I see the "managed=false" setting now.  the semantics for what n-m keeps changing.  :)  thanks, I'll give "a)" a shot.17:51

jdstrandpitti: ok, I played with dac_override a little bit to make sure my understanding is correct18:39
jdstrandpitti: if dac_override is not set, then DAC is checked first. if DAC doesn't permit it, then no access. if DAC does allow it, then the profile is checked and access is determined there18:40
jdstrandpitti: if dac_override is set, then DAC simply is not consulted and only the profile is checked18:40
pittijdstrand: right; root has DAC_OVERRIDE usually, which is what allows him to ignore file permissions18:41
pittiso if we give that priv, the policy can't rely on DAC any more, and needs to be super-tight18:41
jdstrandpitti: apparmor requires explicitly allowing access to files, so unless the profile is too loose to begin with, there shouldn't be a problem18:41
jdstrandpitti: correct18:41
jdstrandpitti: however, looking at the cups-pdf policy, it looks super-tight anyway18:42
jdstrandpitti: so, I'll defer to your judgement, but adding dac_override seems ok to me based on the current profile18:43
pittijdstrand: I'll look at it again18:43
pittijdstrand: sorry, have to run to sports now18:43

chrisccoulsonjames_w - thanks. perhaps i would have been better off assigning a reviewer rather than spamming the whole list;)20:52
james_wchrisccoulson: it makes sense if there is a particular person. It would be a bit like subscribing that person directly to a sponsorship bug instead of u-m-s, except that u-m-s doesn't cause a mail to ubuntu-devel@20:53

james_wI'd like to have a better system that what we currently have20:55
james_wit's just not that easy because we are slightly odd :-)20:55
ScottKI think distro 'development' is different in many respects than upstream development and LP seems more focused on the latter use case than the former.20:57
james_wyeah20:57
james_wespecially for merge proposals so far, as it wasn't available for distributions before20:57
james_wthey are keen to fix that, there just aren't obvious answers20:57
mweicherthello, I'm trying to preseed a hardy installation. I want to slipstream all of the hardy updates on the cd so that after I finish the installation, I'm not left with 200+ packages to upgrade.20:59
mweichertto do this, do I just replace /dists and /pool on the live cd with those that are in archive.ubuntu.com ?20:59
james_wmweichert: nope, the live install doesn't install from debs20:59
james_wyou would need to build a new live environment with the updates21:00
mweichertjames_w, okay, in the squashfs image?21:00
mweichertjames_w, what's /dists and /pool for then?21:00
james_wyeah21:00
james_wextra packages that are available, but not actually installed21:01
mweicherthmm, ok21:01
mweichertjames_w, so the installer just copies the squashfs to /target, is that right?21:01
james_wnot "just", no, but to a first approximation, yes21:02
=== awe-afk is now known as awe
mweichertjames_w, sorry - that was over-simplifying.. I guess what I'm trying to determine is that if I edit the squashfs by installing the debs I want, those debs will get installed on /target.21:04
mweichertjames_w, is that a safe assumption you think?21:04
james_wI've no idea whether it will work, sorry21:04
MattJHmm, does anyone know if it is possible to build for etch using the Ubuntu pbuilder?21:08
MattJThe wiki suggests it should be, but I'm having problems21:08
james_wit should be21:08
mweichertjames_w, okay, thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I've been having a hard time trying to find this information.21:09
mweichertjames_w, to be sure though, you're certain that /pool just contains extras?21:09
james_wmweichert: I guess there aren't enough debs in there to make a full system?21:10
ScottKMattJ: Yes.  I do it all the time.21:10
MattJFrom: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto it says use: sudo DIST=etch pbuilder create, but the first line pbuilder prints is "Distribution is jaunty."21:10
james_wif there were then you would only be able to use the half the space on the CD for the live environment.21:10
MattJScottK: I'm using 8.04, could that be an issue?21:11
james_wmweichert: #ubuntu-installer is the dedicated channel for this stuff21:11
ScottKMattJ: I did it with that too, so I don't think so.21:11
MattJScottK: I see: Failed getting release file http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/etch/Release21:12
MattJI tried --othermirror, but it seems to have no effect21:12
ScottKMattJ: http://pastebin.com/f78072aa4 is the pbuilder wrapper script I use.  If you name that pbuilder-sid it should just work.21:12
