wgrantdmb: Multiarch was not implemented for 9.10.00:49
wgrantdmb: That release note is just what would have been used if it had been.00:49
dmbwgrant, so when it does get implemented, it will be possible to install any package as a 32bit or 64bit binary?02:08
dmbbecause that would help the transition :)02:08
dmbprobably is rpath02:08
dmband that it looks for a lot of things in /usr/lib02:08
wgrantdmb: That's the point.02:10
Ryan52which package does the "the program 'foo' is currently not installed. you can install it by typing:" come from?02:22

ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots08:28
Tm_Tsmwn: ^08:28
Tm_Tsmwn: not exactly what I wanted to say, so I'll elaborate: bugs should be filed in launchpad so developers can follow the issue and answer to it08:30
smwnok08:38
smwnits already reported08:38
smwnthanks08:38
smwnjust alotta people out there going out to buy new harddrives when they don't need to lol08:38
ebroderSo tell them to keep the old drive - then they'll have backup for when the drive inevitably actually fails :-P08:41

trudellhi all14:20
trudelldriver nvidia for kubuntu on karmic distro have being a lot of problems14:21
trudellsomeone developer have any solution14:21
trudelland a lot of programs need libgtk-1.2, can developers left this libraries as legacy in repositories?14:22
dtchentrudell: problems should be reported using bugs.launchpad.net and will be investigated in due time. gtk+1.2 is no longer maintained in Debian; in fact, it was removed in April 2009.14:32
trudellwhy not left as legacy?14:34
trudellto other porograms that needs it14:34
dtchenit has been "left as legacy" since 8.0414:35
dtchenanyhow, the normal process is that if it's removed from Debian proper, there needs to be a really compelling reason to leave it in Ubuntu14:36
trudellwell,,,but in karmic isnt present as legacy14:37
ionPrograms depending on ancient versions of libraries should be fixed. If nobody is interested of fixing such a program, the program itself shouldn’t be left “as legacy” in the archive forever. :-P14:37
trudellsure, but libgtk-1.2 is requered by a lot of progrmans yet14:38
trudellepsxe for example14:38
dtchenwell, none in Debian testing or Ubuntu 9.10+, at least14:38
dtchenbut as ion said, it is unmaintained, and carrying it in Ubuntu presents a maintenance nightmare.14:39
dtchenactually that's what I said, but his point that fixing a program is quite apropos14:39
trudelli disagree this opinion14:40
dtchenYou're welcome to work with various developers to help maintain it14:40
trudelli think that solution to space problem is dont build bad distribution like intrepid for example14:44
trudellintrepid is a bad distribution only with problems and bugs14:45
trudellintrepid had been a inutil distro14:45
trudellsince your launch14:45
ionAh, a troll. Let’s not feed it anymore. :-)14:46

slangasekshould the !ops token be updated to include more people who are actually current and active ops?17:05
slangasek(and drop thom, fooishbar, jdub, perhaps)17:06
Tm_Tslangasek: well, I think we need more ops here anyway17:16
siretartslangasek: if libbar links against libfoo, and libfoo's soname is bumped, does libbar's soname need to be bumped as well? in any case or might there be some special cases?17:18
ebrodersiretart: Shouldn't the soname number only need to be bumped if the API that library is exporting changes?17:29
nhandlerslangasek: You might want to bring that up at either an IRC Team meeting or in #ubuntu-ops17:30
Tm_Tpreferaply in meeting and in ML before the meeting perhaps17:31

olmarihello.. I'd have instant problem with Karmic mini-installation18:01
olmariWarning: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/db/libdb4.7_4.7.25-7ubuntu2_amd64.deb was corrupt18:01
olmariat middle of downloading18:02
olmarisame with using, say, finnish mirror18:02
dtchenthat points to a proxy error, really18:02
olmarino proxy here18:02
dtchenyou don't need to be running one; your ISP could be18:03
olmariwell I know they aren't, they offer proxy but I don't use18:03
olmarithere is no forced proxy18:03
Tm_Thmm, I'm not aware of any finnish ISP which would force proxy18:03

* Tm_T is assuming olmari is using finnish ISP anyway18:04
dtchen(SHA256SUM)18:04
olmariTm_T: I am18:04
dtchenwhat happens if you curl/wget it directly (even from another mirror)?18:04
olmaridtchen: well I can try with this computer, but what to do with that computer in middle of installation?18:05
dtchenhave you ruled out medium error?18:06
olmaridtchen: hmm.. well not actually now you ask... yet it's same file each time even when done HD formatting etc... Sorry to ask stupid Q, but how can I check the HD for defects? I do have livecd at my disposal too18:08
dtchenolmari: I was referring to network medium -- cables, etc. Sorry for not being precise.18:09
olmaridtchen: mm.. well.. cable should work... haven't got a spare unfortunately ATM18:10

ebroderIf I'm requesting a backport to, say, Hardy, is it better to ask that the version in Intrepid be backported, or the version in Karmic be backported to Hardy/Intrepid/Jaunty?22:06
micahgebroder: no difference, it's all a matter of dependencies and time22:11
maxbI need some advice: I want to request sponsorship for a merge of subversion from Debian, but I can see that the Debian armel build of the package failed. Should I still request sponsorship? If not, what can I do without an armel box of my own?23:08
ebrodermaxb: Generally Ubuntu doesn't care too much about architectures other than amd64, i386, and lpia23:08
ebroder(And lpia is kind of tenuous at best)23:08
ebroderYou can use PPAs to test those three architectures23:08
maxbIndeed. But this is an armel-specific failure, it seems23:09
ebrodermaxb: Then I wouldn't worry about it23:10
ebroderThe architectures other than the 3 I listed are absolutely 2nd class citizens in the Ubuntu ecosystem23:10
maxbok, I guess I'll just subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors, point out the issue, and hope for the best23:10
stgraberebroder: armel is far from second class citizen23:11
stgraberebroder: it's the main architecture for the ubuntu mobile team23:11
stgraberebroder: and part of the main supported architecture just next to amd64 and i38623:12
ebroderstgraber: Oh really? Last time one of my uploads FTBFS'd on a port architecture, I was told not to worry about it23:12
ebroderGranted, I suppose, it was hppa, not armel23:12
lifelessjames_w: any chance you can look at why glib2.0 failed to import ?23:45
james_wlifeless: it was blocked while codehosting was low on space23:47
james_wI need to confirm that I can restart23:47
lifelessjames_w: codehosting has 2TB free now23:53
lifelessthe upgrade was completed23:53
james_wyes, but I want to confirm23:55
james_wand return to work so that I can restart the imports23:55
lifelesswell, I can get the confirmation for you; I realise its your weekend.23:56
james_wand I am on vacation next week23:56
lifelesscan losas control the system?23:56
spmjames_w: you can restart when ready; space is available.23:57
james_wspm: thanks23:59
