smoseranyone able to help... i know its late.04:25
smoseri have a known key that i want to feed to : apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys ${key}04:25
smoseri'm trying to automate something and that is timing out.04:25
smoserit could be timing out because the server is just slow (as I've seen before) or because networking is blocking me.04:26
smosereither way, i know the 'key' that i want to get, and can pre-get it ... i just want the same effect04:26
smoseranyone know how i can do the same thing that apt-key does above without the network operation /04:27

LaibschArneGoetje: I have a question for you if I may.  I see you maintain scim upstream development is dead.  Yet, when I look at upstream svn I see lots of activity.  Do you know more than me?  Please explain.  I'm not questioning the scim->ibus move.  I'm just curious.13:35
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: scim has some serious design issues which noone is working on.14:05
Laibschthat may be true, but it's different from "upstream development has stopped".  It's a quality issue.14:07
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: there has been no progress upstream to fix those long standing issues.14:10
LaibschI don't dispute that14:10
LaibschDo you have an example?14:10
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: development upstream is not going forward, they only maintain the status quo14:11
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: for example teh Locale issue. Scim has been designed for zh_* and en_US locales in the first place. If you use any other locale than that, you need to hack the scim config file to get scim working.14:12
=== mac_v_ is now known as mac_v
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: instead, scim could have just accepted any UTF-8 locale by default.14:13
LaibschI'm not familiar with "the locale issue".  Do you have a bug number?  I'm surprised to hear that scim is China-centric.  That was a mild concern I had with ibus, given that both devs are Chinese.14:14
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: no, I don't have a bug number. But it's common knowledge with Chinese users and IM developers. IBus does the right thing. It accepts any UTF-8 locale by default.14:16
Laibschgood14:17
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: IBus has been developed because of the design issues SCIM has.14:17
LaibschI never questioned the many problems present in scim.  And as mentioned initially am not questioning the move from scim to ibus.  But I do think "scim upstream is dead" is not a correct statement.  If you disagree, that's something I can't change.14:18
Laibschscim svn has activity and I think there is an influx of devs, too14:19
LaibschBut I'm not watching very closely14:19
cjwatsonDavid-T: doesn't seem to have anything to do with the source changes I made.14:20
cjwatsonDavid-T: I think it would be more correct to figure out why the rules file got renamed; my suspicion is that it was an accident due perhaps to a change in dh_installudev, and the old name was better14:21
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: svn activity has nothing to do with progress being made to fix those long standing issues. As far as I can tell from the scim-devel mailing list, most activity is about adding new input methods.14:21
LaibschArneGoetje: "scim is not progressing in the direction we see as necessary" -> OK14:22
Laibsch"scim upstream development is dead" -> factually wrong IMHO14:22
Laibschthat is what I'm saying14:23
Laibschbut we may agree to disagree14:23
cjwatsonDavid-T: see the changelog for debhelper 7.4.214:26
cjwatsonDavid-T: I'll sort it out, anyway; thanks for the note14:29
joaopintoany ideas on what could cause an ureadahead-other main process (18103) terminated with status 4 endless loop ?14:32
joaopintoI hate cryptic log messages14:33
David-Tcjwatson: ah, that makes more sense. thanks.14:33
joaopintoDec 12 14:16:25 pt001424-laptop init: ureadahead-other main process (18121) terminated with status 414:34
joaopintois this an upstart message ?14:34
cjwatsonyes14:35
cjwatsonit's harmless anyway14:36
cjwatson# Don't treat a normal exit after reading finishes as a failure, and14:36
cjwatson# don't treat a missing pack file as an error either14:36
cjwatsonnormal exit 0 414:36
cjwatson(/etc/init/ureadahead-other.conf)14:36
joaopintocjwatson, on my case it's associated with another problem, udev and friends using excessive cpu14:37
cjwatsonI'm not volunteering to debug it, I just answered your question14:37
joaopintorestarting udev fixes both, the cpu and stops the message14:37
joaopintonothing is harmless when it's endelessly logged :)14:38
cjwatsonI shouldn't have said anything, I suppose :P14:39
cjwatsonyou should file a bug on ureadahead14:39
cjwatsonDavid-T: fixed14:39
joaopintothe symptom is the same described on bug 379780 , except that no one noted ureadahead  messages14:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 379780 in linux "High cpu usage after upgrade to 141-1.1" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/37978014:41
cjwatsonthat symptom is very vague so it doesn't mean it's the same bug14:43
joaopintook, I will file a bug for ureadahead14:43
ArneGoetjeLaibsch: well, if it makes you happy, I can rephrase the statement to "scim upstream is not progressing in fixing long standing software design issues"14:44
joaopintohum, probably I should comment the ntfs partition from nfstab, it's causing the already reported mountall loop from the hibernate status, I guess it could be related to the later sreadahead issues14:45
joaopintohum, apport reports an error when trying to do the PackDump, I guess it requires root14:46
directhexis the plan for ff3.5 or ff3.6 in lucid?15:06
joaopintouff, found that both the cpu & errror msg are related to the mountall endless loop bug15:07

diwicI'm packaging a small utility which contains a .py file and a wrapper script. Both are installed into /usr/bin. Lintian complains about the .py file having .py extension in /usr/bin. Should I move it to install somewhere else?19:53

diwicgeser: difficult to know really. At least 99% of the cases would be calls to the wrapper script, which is the only one to have a man page.19:55
