directhexwoo, mono-tools. i still wonder if there's any reason dh_installxsp couldn't be moved out of the xsp source package, to avoid the need for a merge00:10
superm1Riddell, it doesn't look like a new livefs or ISO got made for mythbuntu according to http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/karmic/mythbuntu/.  can you check and queue one up so we can try to still get a3 out?06:37
tseliotcjwatson: is it mandatory for debconf scripts to have "set -e"?09:34
ogratseliot, i think it is09:34
tseliotogra: I suspected that...09:34
tseliotthanks09:35
cjwatsontseliot: it's not mandatory as such, but it's usually a mistake to write *any* shell script that doesn't use 'set -e'09:46
tseliotcjwatson: ok, thanks09:47
seb128evand, hey, I did the usb-creator conversion to gtkbuilder it's waiting for review on launchpad10:09
evandseb128: thanks, I'll look it over now10:09
seb128evand, I kept the hack for the label thing the dialog looks weird otherwise since text is selected by default10:09
evandah, okay10:09
seb128I first though that it was because the focus was not set on a button by default10:10
ograhrm, the naming scheme of KDE is massively confusing ... so kde4libs builds kdelibs5-dev ??10:10
seb128but that was not it so I put the hack back10:10
evandhrm10:10
seb128evand, did I do something stupid? ;-)10:13
tseliotmvo: what kind of approach would you prefer for nvidia-common? Would an additional argument to the ctor of NvidiaDetection() be enough (so that you can pass it a text file)?10:13
evandseb128: I'm not sure :).  I'm a bit perplexed at why the text is getting selected.  I'll have to take another look at some point.10:14
seb128evand, well it means that the label is the widget getting focus by default10:14
mvotseliot: hm, I lack some context here, is there a open bug aobut this?10:15
evandah, I see that gtk.Label still has the annoying "I'm not going to expand horizontally" bug.10:16
evandseb128: gotcha10:16
tseliotmvo: you asked me to make it possible for nvidia-common to get the list of obsolete packages from a text file instead of hardcoding them into the program10:16
evandseb128: merged, thanks10:17
MacSlowCan I edit a comment on lp? Spelled something wrong10:17
seb128evand, thanks!10:17
seb128MacSlow, no10:17
MacSlowhm10:18
mvotseliot: aha, right - yeah, I think a textfile should be fine. I guess no additional argument is needed, there is already the datadir, we can put it there (but I leave thta to you)10:18

geserdoko_: should we remove "python3.0" from karmic?11:01
doko_geser: no11:02
geserdoko_: isn't abandoned upstream and replaced with python 3.1? why should we keep it?11:04
doko_geser: do you see a replacement in the archive?11:05

CardinalFangHow can I find out the reason a package is "held back" from upgrading?12:03
slytherininfinity: Hi. Any luck in fixing powerpc buildd?12:05
Gh0styI was wondering is there anywhere a place where we can make suggestions for the new ubuntu's?12:22
Gh0styLike a wishlist kinda thing12:22
SteveAhi markgsaye12:23
SteveAyou're having some trouble installing the latest alpha of karmic?12:23
markgsayeHI all, I'm wondering how to track down problems with fresh install of karmic alpha 3 and nvidia graphics (can't open /dev/fb0: no such file -> no X/gdm/etc)12:23
slytherinGh0sty: It depends on type of suggestion.12:24
Gh0styusability related things for example: why do i have to click the name in the logon screen if there is only 1 name there ... (I only want to enter password, just like windows logon screen ...)12:25
ograGh0sty, just hit enter then12:25
ograits one enter more than windows12:26
Gh0stywas even wondering why they don't do a preload of everything from that user and lock the screen rather then waiting ... :p12:26
ograbecuause that would be a really bad idea on multiuser systems12:26
Gh0stybut on a single user system (like 90% of the users have)12:27
ograhow do you determine that number ?12:27
Gh0styhow do you determine how much users are in the logon screen? :p12:28
ogra??12:28
directhexogra, (face browser)12:28
ogradirecthex, i read what he is typing, i just miss the connection12:29
Gh0stybtw: your suggestion of just pressing enter ... in my karmic version the user is highlighted but enter doesn't do anything12:31
Gh0styi need to click it ...12:31
ograis it up to date ?12:32
SteveAevand: hi12:32
ograshould actually work12:32
Gh0stylets see12:32
evandSteveA: hi12:32
directhexGh0sty, okay, i understand the issue, but i'm not in a position to reproduce it. if you can be 100% sure that it's not how you think it should be (i.e. avoid wasting time with bugs which are actually user error) then look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut12:33
SteveAmarkgsaye: evand works on the installer and related things12:35
Gh0stycool exactly what i was looking for directhex :)12:35
markgsayeevand, hi - I'm having trouble with a fresh install of alpha 312:35
markgsayeevand, no X/gdm - had to install from alternate cd12:36
evandmarkgsaye: did the live CD not boot to a desktop?12:36
markgsayeevand, no, failed with X startup12:37
Gh0stywhich nvidia graphics?12:38
evandmarkgsaye: that's beyond the realm of the installer then, and unfortunately beyond my level of expertise.  I'd suggest taking it to bryce when he wakes up, if that's okay.12:38
markgsayenvidia quadro (I'll see if I can find out which chip)12:38
Gh0stydesktop or laptop?12:39
markgsayeevand, will do - thx12:39
markgsayelaptop12:39
Gh0styi have a quadro in my thinkpad ...12:39
markgsayeHP elitebook 8530w12:39
evandmarkgsaye: sure thing, sorry I couldn't be of more help12:39
geserCardinalFang: try to install it and apt will tell you12:39
Gh0stybut i should first download the latest alpha again then12:39
Gh0stydid you have it too with the alpha 1 or 2 ?12:39
Gh0stybb in 1 min12:39
robbiewmarksgaye: have you tried installing Jaunty?12:40
* robbiew wanting to know if this is a regression12:40
robbiewmarksgaye: you could try installing Jaunty (assuming it works), then run 'sudo update-manager -d' from the command line to get to Karmic Alpha 312:41
markgsayerobbiew, Jaunty was fine12:41
markgsayerobbiew, I _could_ do that, but I like to keep different releases on separate partitions12:42
robbiewah12:42
markgsayerobbiew, I guess I could install base Jaunty on this (karmic) partition, then upgrade12:42
robbiew;)12:42
robbiewor wait for Bryce12:42
robbiewjust giving you options12:43
Gh0stymarkgsaye: x86 or A64?12:43
markgsayeGh0sty, amd6412:43
Gh0styok downloading alpha 312:43
Gh0stylets see if i can reproduce12:43
markgsayenvidia-detector returns "none"12:43
* robbiew runs karmic alpha 3 on my desktop at home amd64...but I upgraded :/12:44
markgsayeI have nvidia quadro fx 770m (G96GL) according to Jaunty's Xorg log12:44
* robbiew leaves to upgrade his laptop12:44
Gh0stydamn12:45
Gh0styupgrading actually worked for the login issue :p12:45

rtg_cjwatson, slangasek: I think I understand most of the rfkill issues. Can you review my proposed changes at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/wireless-tools.diff ? Once its uploaded I'll change acpi-support to use the rfkill application.14:34
doko_rtg_: does debian/copyright need an update?14:36
rtg_doko_, I added COPYING.rfkill. Should I just cat it on to the end of copyright?14:37
doko_rtg_: yes, if it's not already there (didn't check)14:38
rtg_doko_, ok, I'll figure it out.14:38
doko_and maybe say, for which files/directory it does apply14:38
ogradoko_, is haifa enabled in our gcc by default ? and is there an option i can use to disable it ?15:07
doko_ogra: iirc, since ages15:08
ogrado i have any option to disable it without rebuilding gcc ?15:08
rtg_doko_, updated http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/wireless-tools.diff. I just appended copyright and README to existing debian/copyright and debian/README.Debian so dh_installdocs does the right thing.15:14
doko_ogra: no, it was enabled by default in 1997 ...15:15
ogradoko_, thanks15:16
ionHaifa? A city in Israel? :-)15:17
