| owen1_ | is there a problem with xubuntu cd? i get segmentation fault when trying to burn it. | 02:30 |
| owen1_ | i did a checksum and I tried burning with brasero and xfburn but get errors. any clue? | 03:17 |
| anilg | is there a command to list all the packages available? dpkg -l only lists installed packages | 03:58 |
| vorian | <tab> | 03:59 |
| vorian | display all 36085 possibilties? | 03:59 |
| vorian | NO! | 03:59 |
| anilg | wanted something I can use in a script.. so o/p of some command would be helpful | 04:00 |
| anilg | one workaround is 'apt-cache search a' .. since the letter a is in all the packages or it;s description | 04:02 |
| Rail | apt-cache pkgnames? | 04:02 |
| cyphermox | search a will be missing some | 04:04 |
| anilg | Rail: pkgnames also shows non-existant packages, (but referred to by other packages) | 04:12 |
| anilg | apt-cache search "" game me what I was looking for .. all binary packages in the repo | 04:12 |
| anilg | Thanks for the help | 04:13 |

| slangasek | hmm, why does "conffile move recipe" not give any useful google results | 11:21 |
| infinity | slangasek: Result 1 of 1: steal from another package. | 11:23 |
| slangasek | infinity: which package? :) | 11:24 |
| infinity | slangasek: initramfs-tools might be okay. | 11:24 |
| infinity | slangasek: (Moved stuff from /etc/mkinitramfs to /etc/initramfs-tools) | 11:25 |
| seb128 | slangasek: http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/ConffileHandling | 11:25 |
| slangasek | infinity: given that I don't see the handling being done in the preinst, I'd go with 'no' | 11:25 |
| infinity | slangasek: I make no guarantees that it's correct, but I don't recall any horrible critical bugs being filed. | 11:25 |
| slangasek | seb128: does dpkg.org exist again? | 11:25 |
| seb128 | slangasek: works here | 11:25 |
| infinity | slangasek: I see mangling in the preinst... | 11:25 |
| slangasek | ah, cool | 11:25 |
| infinity | initramfs-tools.preinst:if [ -d /etc/mkinitramfs ]; then | 11:25 |
| infinity | .... | 11:25 |
| slangasek | infinity: mm - but no 'mv', so that's not what I would expect for a conffile handler | 11:26 |
| infinity | slangasek: We move the directory, rather than the file, but after verifying files and avoiding spurious conffile prompts. | 11:27 |
| slangasek | anyway, the dpkg.org one looks right :) | 11:27 |
| slangasek | also, my use case seems to pathologically not be a conffile | 11:27 |

| pedahzur | Today, after resuming from a hibernate (Jaunty) I didn't have my usb devices. Upon plugging USB devices, syslog shows: vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size. This is running the kernel in -proposed, 2.6.28-12-generic #43-Ubuntu. The only bug I could find referencing that message had to do with ath5, so I take it this is not a known issue? | 18:53 |
| pedahzur | Found one post related to Jaunty, but not having to do with USB: http://blog.unitedheroes.net/archives/p/3588/got-my-nvidia-card-working-under-ubuntu/ | 18:56 |
| pedahzur | bug filed | 19:04 |
| LordMetroid | Yes, sometimes the external USB HDD doesn't mount on startup... | 19:28 |
| LordMetroid | Easily fixed by cutting power to it and reinsterting it. Annoying though | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | is there any policy about using PPAs for -proposed testing? | 19:49 |
| hyperair | never heard of any such policy | 19:49 |
| LaserJock | hmm, I've some SRUs I'd like to push through but I'm not sure if I can get testers to use -proposed | 19:54 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| tyvek | hey, i just upgraded to jaunty. i have a dm-crypt/luks drive on external media that gets prompted for unlocking at boot which is good, but i noticed that the boot console (ctrl-alt-f8) is echoing my password | 20:47 |
| tyvek | i've tried googling to see if this is a known bug, but i cant find anything | 20:47 |
| geofft | sounds tangentially related to bug #104602 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 104602 in sysvinit "root password visible at emergency console" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104602 | 20:48 |
| tyvek | yeah, it's not getting saved anywhere, but it is momentarily exposed on the boot console | 20:49 |
| geofft | the bug basically being that something odd happens to stdin/stdout of things sufficiently early in the boot process | 20:51 |
| tyvek | #288408 looks similar | 20:51 |
| geofft | and therefor stty -echo or whatever doesn't work. | 20:51 |
| tyvek | is there a known workaround? | 20:51 |
| tyvek | or am i just going to have to mount these post-boot for a while? | 20:53 |
| Justin10ec | Hi there, this is the developer channel, right? | 20:55 |
| hyperair | for ubuntu development, yes | 20:56 |
| Justin10ec | Alright, I have an idea for ubuntu that may help in the development project but I first need to know something. Is there a feedback system in place for betas/alphas? If it's just on IRC and Forums, I have a great idea. | 20:57 |
| tyvek | geofft: thx for the help | 21:00 |
| Justin10ec | Well, I think a lot of Ubuntu users come from Windows, right? | 21:01 |
| Justin10ec | Those users, and apple users alike are used to sending support ticket type things. | 21:01 |
| Justin10ec | If we had an offical form for them to fill out, we may get more information. Most likey, people in general are not familiar with IRC or forums? | 21:01 |
| Justin10ec | If anyone likes the idea, I'd be more than excited to help with it? | 21:01 |
| Laney | are people coming straight from windows the best people to be running alphas and betas? | 21:02 |
| Justin10ec | No, and it wouldn't have to just be for the betas, just for general suggestions / questions? | 21:03 |
| Laney | we have lots of support avenues already | 21:03 |
| Laney | perhaps you would want to make a better interface to one of those? | 21:03 |
| Justin10ec | Could you direct me to one of these? I'd like to see what could be improved? | 21:04 |
| geofft | Justin10ec: there's Launchpad, and some interface for questions as opposed to bugs | 21:04 |
| Justin10ec | I totally forgot about Launchpad! | 21:05 |
| Laney | Launchpad Answers, forums, Brainstorm (for suggestions), IRC, ubuntu-users mailing list | 21:05 |
| Justin10ec | Other than helping with problems with software and hardware, what could I do to help Ubuntu? I'm great with software, yes, but I much rather enjoy other things like forum management or something like that. | 21:06 |
| Laney | http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ | 21:08 |
| Laney | see what takes your fancy | 21:08 |
| Justin10ec | Documentation Team... Would this include rewritting things so that they make better since? Proofreading, grammar, spelling, etc? | 21:10 |
| Justin10ec | sense* | 21:10 |
| Laney | I guess so | 21:10 |
| Laney | they probably have an IRC channel | 21:10 |
| Pici | #ubuntu-doc | 21:10 |

| * calc should keep a list of braindead bug closings for the next time Sun asks me what they should be doing to help out Ubuntu | 23:04 | |
