[08:37] <damo221> what are the essential build lib packages? i get errors like strncmp not defined
[08:38] <Hobbsee> they're dependancies of a package called build-essential
[08:39] <damo221> i installed build-essential, but i still dont have all the cpp libs
[08:39] <damo221> im running on a 9.04 livecd... just want to compile something
[08:39] <Hobbsee> hm
[08:41] <RAOF> strncmp is in libc6-dev; you'll have problems doing almost anything if that's not installed :)
[08:41] <damo221> thanks
[08:41] <hunger> Any idea why my webcam won't work in karmic? It uses uvcvideo.
[08:41] <damo221> libc6-dev is already the newest version.
[08:56] <damo221> http://pastebin.com/m698db6de can someone see if im missing something really basic here
[10:17] <jetienne> q. i am writting a fuse fs and everytime i mount it, there is an external process doing getattr+statfs every second on it, this is desktop application as it occurs only when under X, anybody got an idea of which program is doing this ?
[10:23] <AnAnt> Hello, could someone sponsor this merge: LP 406890
[10:23] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 406890 in irssi "Please merge irssi 0.8.14-1(main) from debian unstable(main)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/406890
[10:23] <ebroder> jetienne: If you want to find the program yourself, there's the getContext call (or whatever it's called in your langauge's API) to get the PID of the caller
[10:24] <ebroder> Although if you're mounting the filesystem in your homedir, I'd guess beagle
[10:24] <jetienne> ebroder: thanks. i will look. im a beginner at fuse
[10:24] <ebroder> jetienne: What language are you programming in?
[10:24] <jetienne> ebroder: in python
[10:24] <ebroder> Ok. Then you want to call fuse.FuseGetContext()
[10:25] <ebroder> From within your getattr or statfs methods
[10:25] <Laney> irssi is in main?!
[10:25] <jetienne> ebroder: thx
[10:26] <AnAnt> Laney: yup
[10:26] <Laney> I wonder why
[10:26] <Laney> is it seeded or something?
[10:27] <pochu> no, but any real developers use it! ;)
[10:27] <pochu> there are packages not seeded that are in main
[10:28] <Laney> huh
[10:28]  * Laney shrugs
[10:28] <AnAnt> I just noticed that this merge bug was confirmed by the same person who filed it, no wonder it hasn't been looked at by a main-sponsor for a while
[10:28] <pochu> liferea is another example
[10:28] <AnAnt> it should be confirmed by a main-sponsor right ?
[10:29] <pochu> it should be sponsored by a main sponsor :)
[10:29] <AnAnt> ok, I set it back to new
[10:29] <pochu> I don't think who confirmed it matters in any way
[10:29] <pochu> (it does for sync requests though)
[10:29] <AnAnt> ok, I set it back to new
[10:30] <Laney> I always confirm bugs when I ask for sponsorship on them
[10:30] <AnAnt> ok, so can a main-sponsor confirm/sponsor it ?
[10:32] <jetienne>  /usr/lib/gnome-applets/multiload-applet-2 <- ebroder it was it. thanks for your help
[10:41] <loic-m> AnAnt: Why do you set to new merge bugs that are already set to Confirmed? It will just mess up the process
[10:43] <loic-m> AnAnt: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Sponsorship/SponsorsQueue and please revert what you have already done
[10:44] <loic-m> AnAnt: "The Status should be "Confirmed" for bugs that represent a new candidate revision (e.g. bugfix uploads, merges.) In other words, use Status "Confirmed" when you have uploaded a debdiff that requires attention from a sponsor."
[10:50] <AnAnt> loic-m: oh, I thought it should be confirmed by main sponsor, sorry about that & thanks for the info
[10:51] <AnAnt> loic-m: fixed
[10:52] <loic-m> AnAnt: no pb, it wasn't one of my bugs :D but remember nobody takes it kindly when they've done work on a bug and this happens... Wiki is really good source of info, every MOTU-related pages and the like
[10:54] <loic-m> AnAnt: any reason you touched that bug when Bhavani Shankar had already done the job?
[10:54] <AnAnt> loic-m: actually, I thought that it wasn't sponsored because it wasn't cofirmed by a main-sponsor
[10:56] <loic-m> AnAnt: then unless you're a main-sponsor you've got no reason to touch those bugs - next time please ask the developper that worked on the bug directly first before touching anything
[10:56] <AnAnt> loic-m: ok, thanks
[10:57] <loic-m> np
[10:59] <AnAnt> by touch you mean changing status & so ?
[10:59] <AnAnt> loic-m: or even comments ?
[11:00] <AnAnt> loic-m: I added the merge changelog entry in a comment to that bug because I saw that sponsors usually prefer to see that in the bug report
[11:00] <loic-m> No, you're free to comment any bugs, and modify status of bugs nobody cares for. But please don't modify status/etc.. when someone has already set them (and obviously worked on the bug).
[11:01] <AnAnt> ok
[11:02] <loic-m> AnAnt: Wasn't the changelog already in the description (unless you added it)? If so, you can repeat stuff in comments without much harm, except the spam it generates for those subscribed of course
[11:36] <AnAnt> loic-m: that wasn't merge changelog entry, that was debian's last changelog entry
[11:46] <jetienne> ebroder: as you are clearly experienced in fuse, do you know if there is a channel about it ?

[17:50] <eddel> What is the Ubuntu equivalent of   "Section: non-free/foo"   in debian/control?   I have something that cannot be in universe, so would I map this out to non-free just like in Debian?
[17:50] <elmo> eddel: multiverse is Ubuntu's non-free
[17:51] <eddel> so     Section: multiverse/foo   eg   multiverse/math   or whatever the section is?
[17:52] <elmo> eddel: yep
[17:54] <eddel> elmo: Thanks a bunch!  ppa upload will follow shortly
[18:00] <genii> Hi, trying to pin the kernel here on a 9.04 box with an /etc/apt preferences file like here: http://pastebin.com/m5a450885   The 3rd stanza would be to prevent the kernel being downgraded to packages with names like linux-image-2.6.28-6-386 ... however wildcards seem not to work here. Is there another way?
[18:01] <Laney> Try #ubuntu for support
[18:01] <genii> Laney: Will do.
[18:02] <Laney> or your loco
[18:03] <arand> How long can I expect validation of upload to -proposed to take? And should I poke someone after a week or so?
[18:04] <Laney> there's a sru-verification team, not sure how they work
[18:05] <Laney> try #ubuntu-quality
[18:05] <Laney> or just ask someone you know to test it ;)
[18:08] <arand> Laney: I guess it's in the stage of being validated by admin, to get into -proposed... I'm not really sure of anything though, with it being my first ever patch in the system.
[18:10] <Laney> oh, you mean like that
[18:10] <Laney> you need to subscribe motu-sru or ubuntu-sru
[18:11] <arand> Laney: yea, that's already done (LP #316502) is the one in question
