Guest26450Hi there!05:34
Guest26450First of all Merry Christmas. I have a small problem: I'm looking for "archives.h" Does anybody know which package I have to install to use it?05:36
diwicGuest26450: at packages.ubuntu.com, you can search for that file.05:37
crimsunnothing in lucid at least05:38
Guest26450I tried, but there is no match for "archives.h"05:39
diwicGuest26450: do you have an idea, what kind of application are you trying to compile?05:42
Guest26450It is a kind of cpio.05:43
crimsunare you sure you don't mean "archive.h", e.g., libarchive-dev ?05:44
diwicOtherwise I would say you should ask upstream about it05:45
Sarvattlooks like dpkg has it in src/archives.h05:46
Sarvatt(in the source package)05:46
diwicSarvatt: out of curiosity, how did you find it?05:46
Sarvattgoogle :)05:46
diwicok :-)05:47
Sarvattin the changelog for dpkg 1.15.0 - Move struct pkg_deconf_list declaration to archives.h05:47
Guest26450@crimsun: "archive.h" does not define "struct Exp_cpio_hdr" and this is what I need currently :-(05:52

diwicGuest26450: is there something known as onnv or onnv-gate? See http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/head/archives.h05:58
pwnguinanyone know what package openssl/rc4.h is in?05:59
crimsunlibssl-dev05:59
crimsunseriously, apt-file or packages.uc05:59
pwnguinhmm06:00
pwnguini was doing apt-cache searches on ssl header =/06:01
pwnguinoh, i bet it was headers i was searching for, not header06:01

PopoManhello15:29
PopoMani just updraded to torture Karmic Koala15:30
PopoManits not taking resolution15:30
micahgPopoMan: try #ubuntu for support for Karmic15:51
lamontafter success on 2 i386 boxes with different graphics cards, I'm testing my "just nuke compiz-core to eliminate the random lockups" solution on a third.17:09
Amaranthha17:09
* Amaranth hasn't had a "random lockup" with i965 in about a year17:09
lamontdell latitude d600, HP nc6000, and some random desktop17:10
lamontiirc, SiS integrated graphics, rage, and someother thing17:10
lamontnot exactly new boxes17:10
Amaranthah17:10
lamontthe final laptop?  runs windows XP, but doesn't like hardy, jaunty, or karmic17:11
lamontVia KM400 chipste17:11
AmaranthI don't think sis can run compiz at al17:11
Amaranthall*17:11
lamontAmaranth: and yet we try17:11
lamontthank you karmic17:11
AmaranthUnless it locks up on caling glxinfo that's all we'll try17:12
Amaranthcalling*17:12
lamontcould be - effects aren't enabled, just the presense of compiz causes pain17:12
AmaranthThat is just not possible17:13
AmaranthUnless, again, calling glxinfo breaks it17:13
lamontmust be, then17:13
AmaranthWhat you're saying is that calling glxinfo breaks the driver in such a way that it doesn't freeze immediately but eventually locks up17:13
lamontmachine quits responding to ping17:14
lamontanyway, we'll see if it survives better now that compiz is gonegonegone17:14
lamontthe two laptops just locked up hard in X17:15
lamontduring login17:15
lamontwhich kinda made for "not fun"17:15
Amaranthok, that is more like what I'd expect17:15
Amaranththanks to "we must start in 10 seconds" we can't work around that in compiz either17:19
Amaranthso the driver needs to be fixed17:19
lamonta question during alternate install would do it for me - totally do not want ext4 yet17:20
lamontwhich rules out ubiquity for an install method17:20
lamontOTOH, i figure I'll prolly just teach things to pxeboot with preseeding17:20
lamontif I do much more of this17:20
AmaranthFeel free to add an option to the alternate install, if you can get away with it :)17:20
lamontkids yammering for christmas presents time... afk17:20
lamontpxeboot preseeds are easier17:21
slangaseksladen: hi, I have a question about a mod you made to the Ubuntu zsync package some time ago, for which the documentation is rather sparse19:28

sladenslangasek: Merry Christmas, and go ahead20:00
sladenslangasek: if you can supply the corporate weight to get the necessary changes forced into Launchpad/Soyuz and such, that would be greate too20:02
slangaseksladen: Merry Christmas :) - the question is about this 'global offset' option that was added... I'm not sure why it's needed, unless it was a workaround for the lack of 64-bit offset support?20:07
slangasek(which is now fixed, separately)20:08
slangaseksladen: is there a blueprint somewhere describing the changes for launchpad/soyuz?  I have only vague recollections of the discussions around apt-zsync; I guess it was one of the solutions liw was looking into, but I don't remember what the numbers looked like there20:09
slangasek(I've been tending zsync only because people are using it for ISO syncing now, and support for DVD-sized images is a must-have)20:10

=== \vosh is now known as \vish
sladenslangasek: the zlib/deflate stream in a .deb does not start at byte zero, but a couple of 2kB into the file (the .ar has three members, and we're after the offset of the data.tar)---IIRC, the offset was to sort that20:17
slangaseksladen: ah, gotcha20:17
alex-weejdoes anyone have any idea why user_xattr is not enabled by default?20:19
sladenslangasek: Red Hat/Fedora have been tightening up their "embedded libraries" policy, and if we're lucky, they might be working on adding accessor functions to main zlib library to get at the private data (setting/getting bit offset, in addition to byte offset  (eg. start decoding at  1234 bytes and 5 bits);  this is important as some deflate commands always advance to an aligned byte offset20:19
sladenslangasek: for Packages.gz the savings are 95%+  for .iso images the saving are good, and for .gz.deb files the saves are much lower because of the tools available20:20
* slangasek nods20:22
