StevenKArneGoetje: I'd like to change the ibus.desktop to also have NoDisplay=true to hide it in the Applications menu. I've confirmed with both desktop and UNR that the preferences under System->Preferences is a seperate .desktop file. What do you think?06:09
ArneGoetjeStevenK: IMHO the System->Preferences entry is sufficient, so we don't need any other .desktop file. IMHO it should be removed by upstream.06:58

tkamppeterInstalling it, adds a blacklist against the usblp module, but if a user updates and the module is loaded, the module keeps dangling around blocking the printers.07:16
tkamppeterpitti, Perhaps we should do "rmmod usblp" in postinst.07:16
pittino07:17
pittirmmod is evil, bad, and wrong07:17
pittiand it might even fail07:17
pittibut perhaps I was missing an update-initramfs call07:17
pittito make the blacklist go into the initramfs, too; otherwise there's a chance that it gets loaded there07:17
tkamppeterpitti: Can modprobe more safely remove modules?07:18
pittitkamppeter: no, modules can't guaranteed to be removable07:18
pittisomething can still use the device, then it will just fail07:18
pittibut in the worst case it causes kernel panics and all that07:18
pittitkamppeter: but after a jaunty->karmic upgrade you have to reboot anyway07:19
tkamppeterpitti: Should we perhaps set this special bit which is also set on kernel updates and shows the user a pop-up telling him that he needs to reboot?07:28
pittitkamppeter: we can do that, yes; the postinst can check if upgrading from 1.3.x, and check if /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required exists, and call that07:30

soreauChipzz: What's the difference between 'install' and 'deinstall' there?14:41
soreauThat is a very nice looking list though ;)14:43
ScottKsoreau: A more elegant way to solve the problem would be to put your script into a Debian package and have that package depend on the packages that need to be installed.14:44
soreauScottK: If that were the case, I would just make a deb package compiz-plugins-experimental. The reason for the script is that it should work on other distros too provided the dependencies are installed for that system14:45
ScottKThen a dpkg solution won't work either.14:46
soreauI'm just tailoring it to fit ubuntu since it's the most popular and more noobs use it14:46
cjwatsonsoreau: it wouldn't be all that much less efficient to just 'apt-get install' them unconditionally, and probably easier14:52
cjwatsonanyway, dpkg --get-selections is wrong; that lists desired states, not current states14:52
soreaucjwatson: That's what it does currently14:52
soreauand that's how I'm thinking of keeping it, just tinkering with the script and will write a how-to on the forums14:53
cjwatsonyou probably want something more like the third column of:  dpkg-query -W -f '${Status}\n' $packages14:53

cjwatsonI've noticed it myself, though only once and it didn't happen next time; I wonder if it's something to do with unreliable NTP sync16:07

Keybuk- installing over top of Windows, UTC=yes but hardware clock was in localtime16:07
KeybukLive CD doesn't "save back" the time16:07
Keybukso the first boot, you have the wrong time (double timezone)16:07
Keybukthen NTP fixes that16:07
Keybukthen you shutdown and save the hwclock16:08

sbeattieKeybuk: http://www.nxnw.org/~steve/tmp/hwclock-info.png16:55
Keybukdavmor2: ok, so we need to go through an install16:55
Keybukand keep checking the hardware and system clocks as we go through each step16:55
davmor2yes16:55
Keybuksee if there's some point it goes wrong16:55
* cjwatson places a small bet on it being in finish-install16:55
davmor2Keybuk: would this be easier from an alternate cd in expert mode?16:55
Keybuksbeattie: fresh install as well?16:55
cjwatsonthough if it's not there, it'll be in clock-setup when it calls rdate16:56
Keybukdavmor2: and alternate install is an entirely different installer ;-)16:56
cjwatsondavmor2: have you already reproduced it with an alternate CD?16:56
cjwatsonthe alternate and desktop installers do have the bits of code I consider most likely to be causing this problem in common16:56
cjwatsonbut that's an estimate ...16:56
davmor2just checking with kirkland about his16:57
cr3I can kick off an alternate install if anyone likes16:57
sbeattieKeybuk: roughly; like I said it happens every cold boot (ubuntu-server install from 24 hours ago).16:57
Keybukcjwatson: oddly, the hardware clock looks *right* though16:57
Keybuksbeattie: weird, because again, your hardware and system clock are right16:58
cjwatsonpresumably the unmount time will be set from the system clock16:58
Keybukwelkl16:58
cjwatsonso if the system clock is wrong, and the hardware clock isn't set (properly) from it on shutdown16:58
Keybukit's very odd that your hardware clock thinks it's 8am ;)16:58
Keybukcjwatson: that's true16:58
Keybukoh16:59
Keybukno16:59
Keybuksbeattie: it's obvious what your problem is16:59
Keybuksbeattie: your hardware clock says 8am, which is PDT not UTC16:59
Keybukbut your system has UTC=yes16:59
Keybukso the system clock is set 7 hours wound back from that16:59
Keybukthen you boot16:59
KeybukNTP runs16:59
Keybukand resets your system clock forwards16:59
Keybukand then you unmount on shutdown17:00
Keybukwith a "future" time17:00
Keybukyour "hardware clock" would normally be saved (at least mucking up the clock)17:00
Keybukbut since it's a virtual machine... that's discarded17:00
Keybukso you hit it every boot17:00
Keybuksbeattie: change UTC=yes to UTC=no17:00
davmor2cr3: are any of your issues on alternate?17:01
sbeattieKeybuk: right; but note this only happens on karmic, do to (apparently?) more strict checking by fsck, jaunty and earlier guests don't hit it on boot.17:01
cr3davmor2: I haven't noticed, I'm preparing an installation now17:01
Keybuksbeattie: not so much17:01
Keybukfsck upstream had slipped in a hack for Ubuntu to not fail on clock errors17:01
KeybukI undid that hack17:02
sbeattieKeybuk: oh, hah.17:02
* sbeattie wanders off to file a bug against virtualbox, for not exporting the actual UTC to the guest.17:03
