| peturi | Hey | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| peturi | I need a point to the right direction | 00:00 |
| peturi | Whre can i read more aobut how to get my application accepted to the official repos? | 00:00 |
| jpds | peturi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages | 00:05 |
| xnox | jpds, =) I haven't met you before. What sort of things are you working on ? =) | 00:16 |
| peturi | thanks | 00:31 |
| psusi | blast... my ureadahead changes and defrag only shaved 5 seconds off the boot time on my new laptop... still takes 30 seconds to boot, all but 5 of which is after ureadahead finishes.. cpu seems to be a little slow | 04:50 |
| psusi | on the up side, it didn't hose the fs ;) | 04:51 |
| psusi | now to figure out why the ncurses interface didn't work from the initramfs.... | 04:51 |
| psusi | ohh, heh... the static binary isn't linked against ncurses... heh | 05:06 |
| echosystm | im curious | 09:14 |
| echosystm | are all packages maintained by canonical staff? | 09:14 |
| echosystm | or are some packagse maintaiened by the community | 09:14 |
| geser | packages in main are mostly "maintained" by canonical paid devs (but there are also some community devs working on them) where "universe" is community maintained | 09:16 |
| nigelb | geser: you beat me that ;) | 09:16 |
| nigelb | *to that | 09:16 |
| echosystm | i'd like to get into linux development | 09:16 |
| echosystm | and eventually maintain a package | 09:16 |
| echosystm | got any advice for a newbie? | 09:17 |
| echosystm | i dont really know where to start | 09:17 |
| geser | the people maintaining the Ubuntu kernel are in #ubuntu-kernel | 09:17 |
| geser | (you might need to wait till Monday when everyone is back from the weekend (and UDS)) | 09:18 |
| echosystm | im not so into the kernel | 09:19 |
| echosystm | i meant some userland package | 09:19 |
| nigelb | Also, if you're looking at maintaing individual packages, the best thing to do would be to take care of an orphaned package in debian | 09:19 |
| echosystm | i guess the obvious thing is to find a package im particularly interested in | 09:20 |
| echosystm | or i could do that nigelb | 09:20 |
| echosystm | good idea :) | 09:20 |
| geser | sorry, just got up (and didn't have a coffee yet) | 09:20 |
| nigelb | ubuntu does not have a per package maintainer most of the time, we just have MOTUs who take care of the entire universe | 09:20 |
| nigelb | or core devs | 09:20 |
| echosystm | oh | 09:20 |
| echosystm | hm | 09:20 |
| nigelb | there is this big list of orphaned debian packages, taking of it would help what flows downstream into ubuntu | 09:21 |
| nigelb | http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ | 09:22 |
| echosystm | seems like any of the interesting packages require previous knowledge of the packages internal workings | 09:28 |
| echosystm | how can people actually know these things straight up? surely most people would have to learn first | 09:28 |

| MausP | Hello. At work I get a notebook with SSD. Want to install Lucid. afaik Lucid uses kernel 2.6.32. But ATA TRIM support was included to linux kernel 2.6.33. | 14:51 |
| MausP | does anybody know if canonical backported TRIM to their 2.6.32 kernel? | 14:52 |
| LucidFox | MausP> You can just update to a newer kernel from the kernel team PPA. | 14:52 |
| LucidFox | granted, this is dangerous | 14:52 |
| MausP | LucidFox: already found this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.3-lucid/ | 14:53 |
| crimsun | MausP: in short, no, but there will be ways of getting newer kernel backports for LTS | 14:54 |
| MausP | thanks. just wanted to know if it is possibly needless to install a kernel that's not supported | 14:56 |
| rdz | hi all, i would like to test a patch for a certain kernel module (video driver). i figured out, that my trouble starts much earlier. i can compile the original driver, but the resulting module is not loadable. | 16:40 |
| rdz | so either, the sources that i downloaded are _not_ the sources for the kernel-image i am currently running, or i am doing something wrong | 16:41 |
| rdz | i am running 2.6.31-10-rt and i installed the sources with : apt-get source linux-image-2.6.31-10-rt | 16:41 |
| rdz | is anyone able to compile gspca_ov534.ko (drivers/media/video/gspca/ov534.c) from linux-image-2.6.31-10-rt sources for said kernel? | 18:04 |
| rdz | compilations goes fine, but the resulting module has mismatching symbol versions | 18:04 |
| ScottK | rdz: You might have more luck in #ubuntu-kernel, but not this weekend since most of the kernel team is travelling. | 18:11 |
| rdz | ScottK, thanks. nice for them :-) | 18:18 |
| crimsun | kees: for a setgid daemon in Maverick, should we be pursuing fine-grained caps instead? | 19:26 |
| crimsun | TheMuso: have ossp mostly source-version-3'd, will ask on pkg-pulseaudio-devel | 19:56 |
| Sarvatt | would anyone mind hitting retry on libxfont on everything but i386? they build fine now that the other synced packages are caught up - https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxfont/1:1.4.1-2 | 19:59 |
| crimsun | done. | 20:01 |
| Sarvatt | thanks! | 20:03 |
| crimsun | yw | 20:04 |
| psusi | cjwatson, I'm pretty sure that the dmraid regression in lucid is caused by libdevmapper... something changed causing it to add the p to the partition name just before the lucid release, but I can only get lp to show me the very last version... can you think of anything you might have changed that would do that? | 20:47 |
| psusi | cjohnston, sorry, I meant libparted | 20:48 |
| psusi | BINGO! found it... now how the hell did that line get there? | 21:15 |
| psusi | bah... another change by Hans de Goede | 21:20 |
| * psusi sets out to revert another change of his | 21:24 | |
| mkarnicki | guys, are there any common tools to make GUI mockups (in sense of drawings)? I have seen similarly-themed GUI drawings on ubuntu wiki here and there | 22:16 |
| mkarnicki | usually they had dotted background and where drawn with pencil-like lines | 22:17 |
| RoAkSoAx | mkarnicki, balsamiq | 22:27 |
| andreasn | mkarnicki, actually, it's those are pen and paper: http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/squaredots/ | 22:27 |
| RoAkSoAx | mkarnicki, i.e. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TestdriveFrontend | 22:27 |
| * psusi prepares to drop an SRU, oh boy | 22:38 | |
| * psusi shakes his head at his goofy wife | 22:44 | |
| mkarnicki | RoAkSoAx: andreasn: thank you :) | 23:10 |
| mkarnicki | RoAkSoAx: andreasn: yeah, I think both methods are good, thanks! | 23:11 |
