NCommanderrgreening, where is that room?00:02
rgreening3rd floor00:03
rgreeningvinoy00:03
elopsscan anyone advise?00:05
elopssnorelatime doesnt get passed to the kernel, it just cancels out any relatime in the mount command00:06
micahgpitti: what's the best way to talk to you about a blueprint you updated today?00:12
nixternalmicahg: the way you just did :)00:13
nixternalright about now pitti is prolly in the pub00:13
micahgah00:13
nixternalif he is in dallas of course00:13
* micahg tried to shout in the URS IRC channel, but no one saw me :)00:14
nixternalmicahg: when you do that, there is a person in the channel named after the room everyone is in..... make sure you highlight that person when sending something to the channel you want them to see, so it highlights up on the projectors00:15
nixternalie.  if the room is vinoy, then do:      vinoy: foo is bar, and 2+2=500:15
micahgah, thanks, that's good to know00:15
micahgthat should come in handy tomorrow when I join another chat00:15

elopssi just wrote my own mounter to pass strictatime, that works.. (mount.nfs wont pass it to the kernel)00:17
directhexwhere is dependency info for upstart jobs specified?00:37
dtchen_per-job, if I understand your question correctly.00:41
dtchen_(i.e., /etc/init/foo.conf)00:43
directhexdtchen_, i think there's a race condition between mythtv-backend, and disks being mounted. hence wanting to check into it00:43
jdonglol they're not really "dependencies" </nitpick>00:43
directhexmmmmmm, yes, if i understand this shonkiness correctly... mountall.conf emits the "local-filesystems"... um... trigger? (dunno the terminology). except mountall.conf daemonises the mountall command, so i see no way to guarantee that local filesystems are actually mounted by the time the next upstart script is used00:47
dtchen_directhex: missing /var/run/mythtv or something?00:48
dtchen_directhex: at least it looks like mythtv-backend.upstart is missing a pre-start script stanza00:48
directhexdtchen_, by the looks of it, if your recordings dir is on an unmounted disk, then it'll all go fubar. in this case, prevent mounting of my lvm volume00:49
dtchen_directhex: ok, so /var/lib/mythtv, I presume?00:50
dtchen_I'm not familiar with the program(s); I'm just looking at 9.10's source package00:50
directhexdtchen_, i have a custom dir on a distinct partition. that's certainly the default, though00:50
dtchen_might need to make mythtv-backend wait for all-filesystems00:53
directhexhaving spent an hour and a half fighting to get my home server booting again, i feel i should go to bed00:56

edecaDoes anybody know what file the GUI updater is looking for on a mirror in order to show the "a new version is available"?  I debmirror the entire repository but my uers never get that message.12:02
edeca(Manual updating by editing sources.list works fine)12:03
tsimpsonedeca: looks like it uses http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release and http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts12:06
tsimpsonfrom /etc/update-manager/meta-release12:06
edecaThank you.  That's not allowed through the proxy, which will obviously make a difference.12:06
edecaI shall fix that and see.12:06
edecaDoes update-manager use the proxy settings that Gnome does?  Because that shouldn't have failed if so.12:11
edecaBut anyhow.12:11
maxbHi, I need some advice. I'd like to request sponsorship for a merge of Subversion, but I have noticed that the Debian armel build has failed with a testsuite error. Does that mean I shouldn't ask for the merge?12:14

ashiswinso does anyone know how to do operating system development?13:16
directhexashiswin, plenty of people, but you need to better define your scope. an operating system combines many components, and depending on whom you talk to, could cover any number of products and projects13:17
ashiswinumm13:19
ashiswinok13:19

nixternalok, I heard ScottK say something in the waverly room about it, and the kubuntu devs have a bullet point in the round table if I understood him correctly15:06

Fenix|workGreetings and salutations.16:29
Fenix|workI would like to ask a question about a config before filing a 'bug' on launchpad.16:29
edecaSo ask.16:30
Fenix|workApart from bug 459730 with rsyslog and the package not creating /dev/xconsole, would it be considered a bug that Ubuntu server's default rsyslog config tries to log to /dev/xconsole considering X isn't installed as base?16:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 459730 in rsyslog "rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole " [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/45973016:31
ebroderxconsole isn't for X16:31
ebroderIt's just poorly named16:31
Fenix|workebroder, when I try to run xconsole, I'm hinted to install x11-apps16:32
Fenix|workman xconsole (1) :: xconsole - monitor system console messages with X16:33
Fenix|workunless you're talking about the block file...16:35
ebroderRight16:35
ebroderMy recollection is that /dev/xconsole predates xconsole(1)16:36
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
Fenix|workperhaps, but the comments in the config file state that /dev/xconsole is for use with the xconsole utility.  That's why I asked if by default on server it should be turned on.16:37
Fenix|workis there any need to use this FIFO file, or any downside?16:38
