ebroderWhy did dh_pycentral start removing symlinked files on upgrades?04:12
ebroderIt's causing problems for me with the upgrade process in the python-xen-3.3 package because the python-xen-3.3 modules go away before the prerm of xen-utils-3.3 is called, and xen-utils-3.3 needs those modules in place04:13
ebroderWait...since xen-utils-3.3 depends on python-xen-3.3, shouldn't xen-utils prerm get called before python-xen's?04:14
Amaranthebroder: for what?04:15
=== troy_s1 is now known as troy_s
ebroderHuh?04:15
ebroderOh - for stopping xend04:15
ebroderShouldn't all of a package's dependencies still be fully installed when its prerm runs?04:18
ebroderOr are they only guaranteed to be unpacked?04:22
StevenKHmmm. Check Debian Policy04:23
ebroderYeah - it definitely seems like the prerm for python-xen-3.3 is being run before the prerm for xen-utils-3.3, in spite of the fact that xen-utils-3.3 depends on python-xen-3.3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174036/05:05
ebroderThat's incredibly irritating05:05

MelisUHello, what is the exec key for the directory the file is in?  Like evince %f is for file .. but which key is the dir?08:37
persiaMelisU, http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html08:40
MelisUpersia: Yeah I already found that, but which one is for the dir??08:41
persiaI don't think there is one.  Best to use %f (or %F), and have the application sort it out.08:41
geseranyone around who could please give-back findlib? thanks11:27

lamontwho knows d-i well?15:45
persialamont, I've read a fair bit of the code, but I can't say I know it well.  What's the question?15:57
lamontwell, it took me a minute to remember that the netboot initrd gets one -server... I want a netboot ubuntu-desktop...  so what do I need to abuse to fix that?15:57
persiaSelect the ubuntu-desktop task and dselect all the server tasks in tasksel when netbooting?15:58
persiaYou can preseed tasksel, but I don't understand the intricacies of that.15:59
lamontpersia: that would be the specific question, I  fear16:01
lamontthough I might have that figured out well enough now16:02

calcfsck on a 750gb ext3 usb drive takes a very long time17:25
sebnercalc: ext4 ext4 ext4 \o/17:29
ebroderDoes it actually help fsck time?17:29
ion_The ext3 performance improvements in 2.6.30 are nice, btw. Not that it affects fsck, though.17:30
jdongebroder: yeah, as long as a significant part of the drive is unused ;-)17:30
ebroderThat's like saying that my computer is really fast when I'm not running any programs :-P17:31
jdongindeed :)17:31
d1bion_: what kind of a performance do they provide?17:36
d1b(increase)17:36
sebnerion_: I'd stick to ext417:36
ion_d1b: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_30#head-329ba44b44a7f58c98ae22b8f2730418cdd6630d17:37
jdonglol by "performance" you mean set data=writeback default? :P17:38
ion_jdong: Fixing the issues the change would otherwise have caused (as well as the ext4 issue), and *then* changing the mode.17:39
jdongwell specifically what did they do to address the potential out-of-order hazards?17:41
jdongall I see is fsync-on-rename hacks and such17:41

d1bbtw any one know how to set the country code for wifi ?17:42
jdongd1b: iw reg set...17:42
jdonglinuxwireless has more info on doing it17:42
jdonghttp://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA17:43
d1bit would be nice if a google turned that up ...17:43
d1bcouldn't find it before17:43
d1b / not in the iwconfig man page to try iw17:43
jdongyeah it's a bit unintuitive17:43
jdongand google has a lot of blind-leading-the-blind when it comes to this subject :(17:44
d1b+ does it default to us ... it should be international17:44
jdongI'm not sure what it "defaults" per se to... I think udev rules are supposed to handle locality17:44
d1bjdong: what areas are available can't find it / the short names17:45
d1bother than us17:45
calcd1b: aiui it is supposed to ask the AP17:45
* calc isn't sure how that works17:46
d1bcalc: oh. thats fair enough but i know there is said network on channel 13.17:46
d1bcan't see it.17:46

wiphow to change this: "Wacom Graphire2 4x5 cursor"id=10[XExtensionKeyboard] to [XEntensionPointer]. my wacom is not a keyboard22:14
wipi saw today an update of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics but still no luck with my wacom22:14
ion_wip: When you report the bug, please share the link, i’ll want to subscribe.22:16
wipion_: will do but i need to be sure it's not just me22:17
ion_It might be related to the HAL→udev/DeviceKit migration, but dunno really.22:17
ion_Or perhaps it’s a bug in the evdev Xorg driver.22:17
wipion_: yes i think it's because of the new way of talking to the device (HAL)22:17
