[00:00] do you happen to know off-hand if the trend has been towards more or less? [00:00] mrooney|w: I doubt there's a clear trend; we always stuff as many langpacks on as we can, some releases we manage more, some we manage fewer [00:00] overall the trend is probably towards "less" [00:00] I'm interested to know to know if Ubuntu is getting bigger or smaller over timem when you subtract the langpacks from the 700MB [00:00] ah ok [00:04] Survived the reboot with GDM not showing up unless being started manually and /etc/resolv.conf getting "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as content. [00:05] No visible speed change (forgot to do a benchmark before, will get one now), and I've also seen this: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1502/10092009118.jpg [00:05] although maybe the ML would be a better place to say all this :P [00:06] http://static.arstechnica.com/windows_linux_bb_9.png [00:06] I can't figure out how "hundreds of updates a month" are hard to maintain in the context of Ubuntu specifically [00:07] bluefoxicy: Why do you even look at such stuff? :) [00:07] this is a direct lie and false advertisement, even out of context. In context, ... we're talking about netbooks, aimed at end-users in freaking Best Buy, who just turn on Automatic Updates in whatever OS they use. [00:08] RainCT: Actually what's interesting me here is that encouraging the dissemination of false information about a specific business competitor by a third party may be slander, unethical, and illegal. [00:09] Microsoft basically directly attacked Canonical, LTD with libelous written-word falsehoods and encouraged a third party to repeat the written word as slanderous spoken word in a false advertisement campaign. [00:10] mathiaz, not necessarily, but I think you should ask him for help diagnosing whether it is an apt bug or a packaging bug (and what the problem is exactly) === rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3 [00:38] slangasek: If you deny an FFE, what do you usually set the bug to? I am responding to the alsa FFe, and don't think its worthwhile at this time, and I want to be sure the status is consistant with other denied FFes. [00:39] * TheMuso will just use wont fix for now. [00:40] TheMuso: didn't I already mark that 'wontfix'? [00:41] slangasek: don't know, I am just responding to bug mail as I go through it. If you did already, then sorry. :) [01:01] jdstrand: I've no plans to upload qt4, did you do your upload? [01:10] Riddell: I saw it recently listed as building in their PPA === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk === cprov is now known as cprov-zzz === vorian is now known as obama [05:49] is there any chance that the gdu-notification-daemon dialog can be shut up so it doesn't uselessly whine at me every time I log in? [06:40] good morning [07:02] Good morning [07:02] kirkland: test .dmrc> just select a different session (like "xterm") or a different keyboard layout and check ~/.dmrc that it has the setting afterwards (and that it exists in the first place) [07:03] kirkland: will look at the bug and comment there; thanks for working on this! [07:20] is anybody else waiting for a upload confirmation of LP too? [07:22] I'm waiting for LP to display my bugs, or file one [07:22] it keeps timing out [07:33] pitti: * spm has changed the topic to: ** Launchpad Is Having Issues atm ** | [.......] [07:34] pitti: dholbach: fwiw, edge appears unaffected, only lpmain seems to be having woes. [07:34] hm, not really [07:35] filing a bug on edge times out as well [07:35] heh. I'll rephrase - I have a sea of nagios red on lpmain; not on edge :-) [07:35] * dholbach goes back to all the emails he wanted to write for a longer while [07:36] pitti: how can I submit a crash report to LP later on? [07:36] I just got "502: bad gateway" [07:36] spm: heh, ok; so then I'll just hope that fixing production will magically fix edge, too :) [07:37] dholbach: cancel, and then click on /var/crash/... in nautilus or ubuntu-bug /var/crash/... later on [07:37] pitti: you and me both... :-) [07:37] pitti: thanks, I'll do that [07:37] it's funny: LP is broken, then I decide to do emails, then evo crashes on me and I can't send the crash report in [07:37] seems like I should do something completely different today [07:38] I know it sounds a bit like "my dog ate my homework" :) [07:38] dholbach: same for me; I was supposed to debug an X hang on suspend, and kernel -10 broke suspend [07:38] dholbach, I had that happen once in school [07:39] dholbach, although it happened to the teacher [07:39] * StevenK tries to convince edge to talk nicely to him [07:39] liw: the dog's teacher ate your homework? sounds like you were on the safe side then and nobody could accuse you of shamelessly lying :) [07:39] dholbach, yes :) [07:40] the whole class's homework, to be exact [07:40] Haha, way cool [07:40] nice :) [07:44] What package has the "system restart required" notifier? [07:44] I don't think it's update manager [07:44] update-notifier [07:44] thanks dholbach [07:49] dholbach: actually I'm not sure that's it either. I'm talking about the actual "System restart required. In order to complete the update of your system, it needs to be restarted. Until you do so, security updates..." [07:49] grepping through update-notifier and update-manager doesn't give me that as a string anywhere :( [07:50] you mean the upgrade from one distro release to another? [07:50] No like after you install a kernel update [07:50] no, it is update-notifier [07:51] hmm maybe I'm looking wrong [07:51] the strings are provided by the individual packages [07:51] daniel@miyazaki:~/update-notifier-0.87$ grep -ri restart * | wc -l [07:51] 125 [07:51] daniel@miyazaki:~/update-notifier-0.87$ [07:51] there's a lot of restart in there :) === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [07:53] <\sh> where is the gnome .desktop entry gone after latest karmic updates? ;) [07:55] \sh: you mean the gnome session in gdm? [07:55] <\sh> pitti: yepp [07:55] \sh: sounds like bug 426800 [07:55] Launchpad bug 426800 in xubuntu-default-settings "lost gnome in gdm session chooser" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/426800 [07:55] ah, found it in the .ui dialog [07:56] I guess this makes sense [07:57] <\sh> pitti: ihh...sounds like removing xfce will bring it back then... [07:58] \sh, just xubuntu-default-settings for now [07:58] once the proper solution is in place for gdm to use default.desktop, those hacks can be dropped on mythbuntu-default-settings and xubuntu-default-settings [08:01] <\sh> superm1: I wanted to remove xubuntu anyways..cause I don't use it .. just installed it earlier to test something... [08:02] pitti: hi! around? [08:04] ivoks: hey [08:04] Keybuk, ?? [08:04] superm1: second-next on my list [08:04] pitti: hey, regarding bug 426652 [08:04] Launchpad bug 426652 in corosync "Please sync corosync 1.0.0-5 (main) from Debian experimental" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/426652 [08:04] pitti: you've acked the upload [08:04] right after unbreaking DVD builds [08:06] pitti: there's an issue with compression level of orig.tar.gz in ubuntu's package; so, if you could upload it manually, that would be great :) [08:08] oh, fakesync? [08:09] don't know what fakesync is :/ [08:09] spm: Edge now gives 'please try again' immeadiately [08:10] StevenK: yes [08:10] spm: Oh, so you know. Okay. :-) [08:10] :-) [08:10] yes. sorrry. terse atm :-) [08:15] ivoks: -ENOLAUNCHPAD, sorry; can you assign it to me and ask for a fakesync in the bug? [08:19] ivoks: (later on, I mean, when it comes back) [08:26] pitti: sure [08:26] ** launchpad should be back to normal now ** [08:27] whee [08:28] spm: thanks :) [08:28] spm: merci [08:31] oh, now going offline? [08:31] pitti: I think I already muttered about fakesync when denying the archive admin request in that bug [08:32] ivoks: ah, I get the bug now; doing [08:32] pitti: awesome, thanks! [08:43] shrug, edge is not able to reassign bugs since yesterday [08:43] it keeps timeouting [08:47] bah, edge keeps timeouting and that drops the comments I write when going back [08:48] very annoying [08:48] * seb128 switches to non edge === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [09:08] ArneGoetje: language-selector gnome and qt are so incredibly different, it's not even funny [09:10] * pitti chuckles [09:10] $ sudo service network-manager start [09:10] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [09:10] utility, e.g. service network-manager start [09:10] Keybuk: hmm... ^ want a bug for that somewhere? [09:11] apachelogger: I know. And I'm trying to port some of the functionality from the gnome to the qt version [09:13] ArneGoetje: IMHO the qt thing needs a complete rewrite [09:13] it's ab abomination of Qt [09:14] pitti: hmm, and does it know not to spit that out when called from rc? [09:19] slangasek: I didn't see those on boot, but then again it's made very quiet by default [09:19] * slangasek nods [09:23] apachelogger: I won't be able to do that as I have no idea about qt or pyqt. I just want the combobox for input method choosing to get in. [09:24] * apachelogger aint got no idea about python :D [09:24] ArneGoetje: combobox population implemented, moving on to applying the setting [09:25] apachelogger: is my description in the mail enough for you to understand what's going on? [09:26] ArneGoetje: sure :) [09:26] Is there a 64 bit equivalent to htonl? [09:26] apachelogger: thanks a lot for helping out :) === Ng_ is now known as Ng === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn [09:55] pitti: I'm cc:ed on this mail because... I filed bad FFe requests? :-) [09:56] slangasek: heh, no; "CC" FYI, not because it's aimed at you :) [10:16] pitti: huh, how were you able to conclude that quickly that bug #427224 was bugfix-only? [10:16] Launchpad bug 427224 in pulseaudio "Feature freeze exception request for pulseaudio v0.9.16 final." [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/427224 [10:16] slangasek: I read the upstream changelog [10:16] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31581311/pulseaudio-changelog.txt? [10:17] half of those one-liners are completely opaque to me, so I have no idea if they're bugfixes :/ [10:18] ArneGoetje: btw, did you take a look at making kde langpacks depend on kde-l10n-$code? Riddell said that youd give that a shot IIRC [10:18] hm, they mostly sounded like code cleanup; and it's just rc -> final, too, and TheMuso also said it's just bug fixes [10:19] ah, so he did [10:19] apachelogger: recommend I think rather than depend [10:19] something default-installish at least :D [10:23] apachelogger: it's in the latest language-selector code. please give it a try. when starting up, l-s should give a message about missing packages for the given language. the check should include several kde related packages now. [10:24] Missing: ['kde-l10n-engb', 'gnome-user-guide-en', 'kde-l10n-es', 'language-pack-gnome-es', 'gnome-user-guide-es', 'openoffice.org-l10n-es'] [10:24] sweet [10:24] * apachelogger hugs ArneGoetje [10:24] apachelogger: see data/pkg_depends in the source tree [10:31] ArneGoetje: We will just sync the new ibus into karmic? [10:33] StevenK: the new upstream version? [10:35] slangasek: At this point, just trying to figure out the plan, so ... maybe? [10:40] StevenK: I think so. Unless you have any reason not to do so... [10:41] ~, [10:42] mvo: bzr upgraded the app-install-data-ubuntu branch, should now be a bit faster :) [10:43] good thing that bzr2 is supposed to handle large histories better [10:44] apachelogger: wehh, great :) [10:44] apachelogger: many thanks (also for your work on software-store!) [10:44] ArneGoetje: lp:~apachelogger/language-selector/karmic-qt++ merge r273..274 [10:44] mvo: I didn't do work on software-store? [10:45] apachelogger: eh, typo - software-properties [10:45] apachelogger: my fingers auto-complete software- to software-store these days it seems ;) [10:46] oh, yeah, that also needs some more love still :) [10:46] work all over the place, but fist utf8ing in apturl-kde [10:46] Riddell: btw, did you ever consider implementing that stuff in some python module? [10:47] def _ and def utf8 are a perfect example of code duplication [10:47] apachelogger: thanks a lot [10:56] apachelogger: well it's all a cludge the utf8 stuff, I'm hoping python 3 will fix it [10:58] Riddell: ScottK said that it will still be some time until that becomes default, so I think that a more maintainable implementation would be a good idea :) [11:05] pitti: bug for what? [11:05] Keybuk: "service" saying that you should run "service" [11:05] pitti: that's a server bug [11:05] err service bug [11:05] ok, sysvinit then? [11:07] kees: could you set OGRA=n on that script? :) [11:07] Keybuk, that was in my lastlog output without much context, mind explaining what you were referring to ? [11:07] did i trash something without knowing ? [11:08] ogra: don't worry ;) [11:08] ok :) [11:09] I believe I was making light fun of your occasional habit of panicing about things unnecessarily [11:09] just like that init script was doing ;) [11:09] ah :) [11:12] done, bug 427277 [11:12] Launchpad bug 427277 in sysvinit ""service start" complains about using the init script and recommends using "service"" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/427277 [11:57] Hi all. I've written a wee gui in python. How can I graphically prompt for a sudo password? [11:59] stooj: ideally you wouldn't need to; but first, what is wee? [12:00] pitti: Heh. Sorry. Wee = small. [12:00] ah [12:00] pitti: I have a collection of DVDs that used to be part of a LinuxMCE collection. [12:00] stooj: so, the "modern" way of doing privileged things is to have a d-bus backend with PolicyKit-protected functions [12:01] and GUIs running as normal user, calling the d-bus functions [12:01] if your frontend itself needs root privileges, then start it through gksu in its .desktop file [12:01] e. g. /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop [12:02] OK. The gui just runs an mount command when you choose a file in a filepicker [12:02] eww [12:02] So, d-bus would be the way to go. [12:02] Bad? [12:03] stooj: well, devicekit-disks already provides that d-bus interface for mounting for you [12:03] and you don't even need to mess with d-bus yourself; if you have GNOME, you can call gvfs-mount from python [12:04] there's a nice library libgdu for this, but it doesn't have a Python binding right now [12:04] but doing the mount through devkit-disks should be okay [12:05] stooj: you can just call "devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdc1", or (for more control), call the corresponding d-bus method [12:06] Wow. OK. [12:07] Any documentation in particular I should look at for that? [12:08] stooj: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit-disks/ is pretty comprehensive [12:08] "man devkit-disks" should probably get you going in 2 minutes [12:09] Keybuk: just as a warning, I uploaded a new gdm to fix an alpha-6 bug; this has a higher version number than your PPA [12:10] Many thanks pitti! [12:22] pitti: no problem [12:22] "bzr update" for me ;) [12:24] pitti: talking of which, any idea when all of the network-manager updates in the bzr branch will be uploaded?

Very solid reaction time. [13:54] it only took that long because for some reason my /op alias wasn't working [13:55] oh, that's because I called it /opself, bah [13:57] heh, I had a habit of using my native language for naming scripts, aliaes, and other such things I wrote for myself, so they'd not be confused with stuff that came from elsewhere === slacker_be is now known as slacker_nl [13:57] Keybuk, geez, thats an insanely long changelog [13:57] then I kept forgetting which native language I used in each instance, since I have to choose from [13:57] (sysvinit) === kenvandif is now known as kenvandine [14:04] Keybuk: I noticed that I get a couchdb instance started, for no reason; that's a bug as well; perhaps "exe" is something from erlang [14:05] no, the exe is happening inside the initramfs [14:05] Keybuk: network-manager> redirecting to asac; I don't know [14:09] dont see the question. repost please ;) [14:10] exe> presumably /proc/$pid/exe [14:12] pitti: I need some assistance with build_kdeui in python-distutils-extra and using the kde ui file to generate translations in the usb-creator project. I am at a loss. I see build_kdeui can generate a .py file, but my app uses the pyqt.uic.loadui method to load the ui directly rather than a compiled version. [14:13] pitti: so, I was wondering what the correct way to generate the necessary pot info sould be for this project to combine with the gtk pot/po (if you have some pointers) [14:14] rgreening: hi [14:16] rgreening: for .ui> right, Apport still uses loadUi() as well; your setup.py manually needs to install the *.ui files in data_files [14:17] rgreening: I spoke with some KDE devs, and they said that the preferred way would be to build and ship the .py files instead, which is why distutils-extras does that by default; but you don't need to use that, of course [14:17] pitti: done that. so it loads the ui fine. The issue at hand is getting the translations template to include my stuff in the ui [14:17] rgreening: pot> usually you just have one domain for the project, and try to share as many strings between the projects as possible; you want to have several domains? [14:17] ah [14:18] pitti: no, want to merge to domain usbcreator [14:18] anyone knows a eager + not-so-overloaded debian ftpmaster? [14:18] just to make sure we don't miss any differences [14:19] it's not picking them up automatically? [14:19] pitti: for example, I use Close not Exit, in the window. there are some minor differences. [14:19] nope. [14:19] rgreening: indeed, seems you found a bug [14:19] pitti, maybe you could have a look at usb-creator in lp and see what I may be doing wrong [14:19] rgreening: we use extractrc to extract strings from .ui files, see the script extract-messages.sh [14:19] rgreening: mind to report it against python-distutils-extra? I'll fix it ASAP, but probably not today [14:19] Riddell: doesn't that require cdbs [14:20] Hey guys. I saw that UIFreeze is in place for Karmic. Is there a place we can see what it will look like ? I search the wiki with no success. [14:20] rgreening: no, it's from upstream KDE [14:20] asac: pick on one of http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/08/msg00004.html ? [14:20] Riddell: are there any required deps to ensure extract-messages is called? [14:20] florian__: grab the current daily CD and start the live system? [14:20] rgreening: I did say I'd look at i18n for usb-creator, although I utterly failed to get to it yesterday I'm afraid [14:21] pitti: not a bad idea... is there anything easier ? [14:21] pitti: I'll try what Riddell suggest first. If it still doesn't work as expected, I'll open a bug report. [14:21] rgreening: cdbs kde.mk will call it, you can also call it any other way you wish. it uses Messages.sh files [14:21] cjwatson: good idea. fresh blood :) [14:21] rgreening: cool, thanks [14:22] Riddell: so I include a Messages.sh and where do I call extract-messages.sh? In the makefile I assume [14:22] pitti: ty. I'm so not good with translations :) [14:22] cjwatson: in qemu-kvm, we have a very simple shell script called 'kvm-ok' that basicly does egrep "flags.*:.*(svm|vmx)" /proc/cpuinfo [14:22] cjwatson: i often ask people to run that, to tell me if they have VT [14:22] rgreening: don't worry; distutils-e is supposed to extract them, but it seems that fails for some reason [14:23] cjwatson: i was thinking that script belongs somewhere more basic than qemu-kvm package [14:23] kirkland: oh, I dunno, qemu-kvm sounds OK [14:23] pitti: what are the requirements to enable it to extract them? [14:23] we don't really have any more general place that I can think of [14:23] cjwatson: because i often tell them to run kvm-ok, which they run that script, find out they can't do VT, and then uninstall the package [14:23] rgreening: me fixing the bug, I suppose :) [14:23] maybe I misses something [14:23] lol [14:23] cjwatson: i was thinking pciutils, perhaps [14:23] rgreening: you can of course have a manual po/POTFILES.in with everything [14:23] kirkland: stick it on a web page then :) [14:23] well, maybe shell scripts on web pages not a great plan [14:24] kirkland: pciutils doesn't make sense to me, but I can't think of anywhere better [14:24] pitti: does the kdeui file need to be tagged with a special tag in POTFILES.in? like the text: gettext/glade is? [14:24] cjwatson: web page didn't do it; telling people to do that grep didn't do, hence the stupid script [14:24] * rgreening wishes there was documentation for all this :) [14:25] cjwatson: it can stay where it is, i suppose; i was just thinking that it's a little strange to install a package to run a script to tell you if you can use the package at all; would be nice to know that ahead of time [14:25] rgreening: I know that GtkBuilder .ui files work with "[type: gettext/glade] file.ui" [14:25] pitti: so, does the kde ui have an equiv? [14:26] rgreening: hm, according to intltool-extract(8) apparently not :-( [14:26] heh [14:27] it should really.. [14:28] pitti: should the setup be using auto mode for this to work? [14:29] rgreening: well, it won't make much difference; if intltool can't handle them, then auto mode can't do magic [14:29] ok === jdong_ is now known as jdong [14:32] * rgreening wishes translations were easier :) or at least more documented :) [14:32] Riddell: so, if I want to merge the .pot into the same domain, the sample Messages.sh I have assumes a seperate domain.. suggestions? [14:33] rgreening: you want to merge two .pot files? I think msgcat can do that [14:34] (untested) [14:34] msgmerge maybe also?

[14:39] nah it's my workstation at home, I can just prod it when I get back later [14:47] pitti: just to confirm, if this was working as expected, I wouldn't need to add build_kdeui to my setup.py nor call it, as the build_il8n (in theory) would handle the kde ui file if listed in the po/POTFILES.in, correct? [14:47] if so, then I'll file a bug to get that working. [14:47] rgreening: those are two entirely different things [14:47] slangasek: Just a heads up, one last UI change that I hoped to sneak through after mpt and I discussed: http://yokozar.org/blog/archives/142 -- I uploaded a bzr branch just before feature freeze, though the package isn't live yet. [14:48] rgreening: extracting strings from KDE *.ui files to the POT doesn't work, and needs intltool support [14:48] yeah, just wanted to confirm that kdeui was something different than what I was trying to achienve [14:48] rgreening: build_kdeui is for compiling *.ui into *.py files which you would ship instead of the *.ui files [14:48] ya. cool.

[15:30] seb128: I was told to do it that way [15:30] who told you to do that?

[15:35] anyway let's not discuss for hours how launchpad sucks ;-) [15:35] hm, but having tasks on a bug is how LP is supposed to work [15:36] but it's missing the possibility of unsubscribing from bugs where you don't have open components any more that you are sub'ed to [15:36] Yep [15:36] pitti, I found that making different tasks basically impossible to track and flooding people by email [15:36] it's fine when a bug needs a change in several components to be fixed [15:37] there was an LP bug about supporting negative subscriptions [15:37] but thinks like freeze exception would be better tracked with different bugs [15:38] if you start mixing question and concern about 15 different components in one bug it becames really hard to read or to find what applies to your component [15:38] bug 204980 [15:38] Launchpad bug 204980 in malone "bug contacts should be able to unsubscribe from implicit subscriptions" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204980 [15:39] seb128: well, actually you wouldn't want to get these FFEs in the first place, would you?

[15:52] Launchpad bug 426613 in checkbox "Candidate revision checkbox_0.8.2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/426613 [16:11] my rule of thumb is that if it's the same bug that needs to be fixed in several places in order for the bug to go away, use tasks [16:12] if it's the same issue that is independently present in N different places, then use separate bugs [16:13] so, let's say, that bug where upstart and some bit of the installer had to cooperate to get /etc/event.d/tty1 setting up getty properly for 8-bit text, that was a good case for tasks [16:13] but something like that mega-bug about all the different packages that need to use dpkg --print-architecture rather than --print-installation-architecture should really have been one bug per affected package [16:13] IMO [16:17] mathiaz: ping [16:17] sgallagh: hey - just sending emails to sssd-devel [16:17] mathiaz: Yeah, I saw the first one.

[16:22] sgallagh: great! thanks for keeping me in the loop [16:22] mathiaz: There are some unit tests available in the tarball [16:22] mathiaz: It's hard to make the rest of the tests public, because they rely on the availability of a remote data provider to work (e.g. LDAP and Kerberos) [16:23] sgallagh: right - I'm looking into this as well [16:23] sgallagh: one option I'm investigation is to use ec2 [16:23] * pitti looks at /builders..

Tried the boot stuff out with both PPAs now. The first boot worked but took 90 seconds instead of 40 before; now it's failing to boot with: "mountall: unable to write pid file: read-only file system" (and a moment later: "init: module-init-tools main process (xxxx) terminated with status 1") [17:31] rainct: In /etc/init/mountall.conf, comment out ‘expect daemon’ and replace ‘exec mountall --daemon...’ with ‘exec mountall --debug...’ [17:31] mvo: hi [17:31] rainct: That should provide a nice amount of debug output.

Stupid me, trying /etc when I have the filesystem in /mnt :) [17:35] Ah, i misread what you said. It’s module-init-tools that returns 1, not mountall. The problem is probably not in mountall then. [17:36] Do you have /etc/modules? [17:36] ion: Yes, contains "lp" and "rtc" [17:39] (both PPAs = ubuntu-boot/ppa/ubuntu and ubuntu-boot/staging/ubuntu) [17:41] ion: So should I try out the mountall thing? [17:43] rainct: Try adding the line ‘console output’ to module-init-tools.conf first, and also add ‘set -x’ as a new line immediately after the ’script’ line. [17:45] ion: OK.

[18:20] Yeah, it probably isn’t the one stopping the boot. I only wanted the modprobe output in case it had been something like ‘read-only filesystem, can write blahblah’. [18:20] (with my unsupported touchscreen that has no driver and gets probed in a loop) [18:20] Which would have strongly suggested an issue in mountall. :-) [18:20] Oh, now that i think of it, modprobe probably doesn’t need to write anything ever. [18:21] yeah [18:21] the virtual 1/2 type lines in the mountall --debug output are the important ones [18:21] they tell you why it's waiting [18:21] so far, all three people complained have "remote 0/4" or something in there [18:21] and I get to do the "I told you not to try it if you had network filesystems" dance [18:22] zul: so what's the state of moving puppet into main?

[19:40] mathiaz: you're proposing documentation how to run the tests and verifying that they pass (but not during the build)? [19:40] kees: yes [19:40] mathiaz: yeah, that seems like a fair compromise [19:41] any archive admin, can someone binNEW linux-mvl-dove? I'm kinda depwait for that to pass through the NEW queue [19:48] superm1: does the hid2hci commit fix a specific LP bug? [19:49] jdstrand, you around? [19:50] NCommander: yeah [19:50] kees, let me see, looks like it was bug 385934 [19:50] Launchpad bug 385934 in bluez "Dell Bluetooth 370 does not work after resume from suspend" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/385934 [19:50] jdstrand, can you debinNEW a kernel for me? [19:50] * NCommander has been depwait on this since yestreday :-/ [19:51] superm1: okay, thanks. [19:53] NCommander: did you try StevenK or Muharem? (it is thier day) [19:53] NCommander: if they aren't available I can do it [19:53] jdstrand, LP was very unstable last night, so StevenK didn't want to try deNEWing anything at risk of breaking LP, and Muharem doesn't seem to be on (or at least, I can't see him on IRC) [19:54] NCommander: is LP any better now? [19:54] jdstrand, its not 502ing forme anymore [19:55] alright [19:56] jdstrand, thanks, sorry that you keep getting hit with the random kernels [20:08] is there a way to detect whether a script is running in a live environment programmatically? === mbamford` is now known as mbamford [20:11] cr3, why? [20:12] NCommander: if I'm running from live, I could easily use echo ubuntu | sudo -S in order to run commands as root without having to prompt the user for a password they might not even know [20:12] NCommander: oddly, I thought there was no password and gksudo wouldn't even ever prompt anyways [20:12] cr3, sudo should just give you root on the live envirionment sans password [20:13] NCommander: thanks for the confirmation, even better then :) [20:13] cr3, well, you could just download a livecd and check ;-) === bdrung_ is now known as bdrung [20:26] join #launchpad [20:37] udevadm trigger is not premitted while udev is unconfigured.

[20:37] i hate this bug [20:39] kees: ^^^^^ once I fix this, should I run the script in bug 358654 to find the offending package(s)? [20:39] Launchpad bug 358654 in watershed "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/358654 === cr3_ is now known as cr3 [20:49] aaa~> [20:50] robbiew: yes please :) === cprov is now known as cprov-afk [20:51] kees: shell script identifies: fuse-utils and initramfs-tools [20:52] Keybuk broke it! ;) [20:53] NCommander: done [20:53] well at least if initramfs-tools is the culprit...from the ubuntu-boot ppa...fun times! [21:06] jdstrand, +1 beer (to be redeemed at next meatspace meet) [21:06] Did someone say beer? [21:07] ScottK, jdstrand gotten stuck NEWing every ARM kernel since they seem to land around Fridays :-/ [21:07] I see. Well I'd suggest something stronger than beer then.
