KE1HAI know people moan & grown allot about Installs & Upgrade, but I got a success story !00:58
KE1HAHad an 8.05-AMD64-LVM 3TB server ...00:58
KE1HAoops 8.04 ...00:59
KE1HAwas seriously worried about moving to 10.04 ..00:59
KE1HADescided to go fer it ...00:59
KE1HAAnd Whalaa !!! perfect install, without compromise to the LVM !!00:59
KE1HAJust wanted to say Thanks to ALL you guys that make these things work without a hitch !!!01:00
nisshhKE1HA: nice story :)01:13
nisshhKE1HA: glad it went smoothly :)01:13
yofel*sigh*, just took me 1 hour to file a kernel bug <insert rant about LP timeouts here> tried 30min on edge, 10min on production, and then spent 20min filing it by mail and running apport-collect01:15
yofelKE1HA: nice to hear :)01:16
nisshhyofel: maybe its your net connection, LP has been running fine for me all week01:17
yofelmight be, doesn't change the fact that I was unable to file a bug, and it was not because my connection was interrupted, but because launchpad gave me a timeout error01:18
yofelalso, how would my connecion affect the 'Send Report' logic on the UI01:19
nisshhyofel: no idea, just a thought :)01:20
KE1HAYeah, this server was our household backup server (many backups), plus supports all the PS3's & XBOX media. I'd be sleeping with the Dog's in the Barn if it went wrong :-)01:21
nisshhKE1HA: so its your home server by the sound of it?01:22
KE1HAIts' the home Backup server, yes, I've got about 10 servers in all.01:22
nisshhKE1HA: ooh nice :)01:23
KE1HAI've been working on out CIO about a move to Linux, but, he's got a fair few good points about Ubuntu and server performaance, but it's getting much better.01:23
nisshhyea01:23
nisshhwhat are his "good points"01:24
KE1HAOne thing in UB's favor, if HP support is really getting traction, forget Dell, to many issues, but HP / IBM, that's the way to go.01:24
nisshhyea01:25
KE1HAnisshh, basically it's hardware compatibilty, and long term support & certified compliance.01:25
KE1HABut UB has made allot of ground with their certified hardware programs, so his mons & growns are fewer and fewer each day.01:26
nisshhKE1HA: certified compliance?01:26
nisshhyea01:26
KE1HAHadware certs for NAS, SANS, backup hardware, 10gb nic support,, management layers etc.01:26
nisshhah right01:26
KE1HAIm not an expert, jsut echoing what he said, but Im more than happy to switch :-)01:27
nisshhKE1HA: has he even tried Ubuntu on any of his servers/clients?01:27
KE1HAWell the thing is, our Product is Semiconductor Capitol equipment, meanign, we make machines that folks like Intel, Samsung, AMD, Toshiba etc etc use to make the chips, and....01:28
KE1HAThe OS for those machines is Linux.01:28
KE1HASo the Enginrring Dept is "all Linux" .. and the Corporate side is WinDoze.01:29
nisshhahhhh01:29
nisshhthats silly :)01:29
KE1HAanyways, were way off-topic here, but He's gonna have to bend at some point.01:30
KE1HAHe hates SSH & CVS :-)01:30
KE1HAOh, and ROOT password's, dont say that word around him, he's a control freak :-)01:30
nisshhright01:31
nisshhsounds like he doesnt know much about security then01:31
KE1HAAnyway, back to tesgin, and doing updates, TNX again, Im a seriously happy bunny today :-)01:31
nisshhor he is used to the way windows does it01:31
nisshhhehe01:31
nisshhi bet01:31
nisshhKE1HA: so you use linux on all your pc's/servers?01:32
KE1HAHe's a WiDoze Only guru. He doesn't understand or appreciate Linux. I should him an ROI for just Licenses fees for My divison, some 300 service engineers, but didn't phase him.01:32
KE1HAoop show'ed him ..01:32
KE1HAAt home, yes, all linux apart from one, My ham-Radio machine, as I can't run Virtual Comports on UB, and I need 8 fo them to control radios.01:33
nisshhright01:33
nisshhKE1HA: what the hell do you use 10 servers for anyway?01:34
KE1HAEven the WIFE loves 10.04, she said, and I quote "Damn, that thing is fast" ... and she don't use foul language :-)01:34
nisshhid run out of uses after about 401:34
nisshhhaha01:34
KE1HATook me about ten minuted to convince her to let me replace Vista on her Toshiba Laptop, never loolked back.01:35
nisshhcool01:35
KE1HAYeah, I've only got one box I can't convert, a D400 with Intel I855 Chipset, no of the work arounds or PPA's work yet.01:36
nisshhyea01:36
KE1HA8.04 is ok, but 9.10 or 10.04 Busted bad.01:36
KE1HAAnyways, back to it. Heed to get my dl-ubuntu=iso script working now, so I can do some more testing.01:37
nisshhKE1HA: what about a different distro?01:37
KE1HAoop have too get .. ..01:37
nisshhKE1HA: ok, nice talking to you :)01:38
KE1HAyou too, take care.01:38
nisshhyou too :)01:38

CynthiaI just encountered a bug related to keyboard accessibility settings. Basically, "Accessibility features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts", the setting in GNOME Keyboard Accessibility preferences, is set to off, but Shift+Numlock still toggles mouse keys. What package should I file this bug under?04:32
CynthiaGNOME Accessibility, xkbd, xklavier, or something else entirely.04:33

KE1HAAnyone seeing problems with seahorse 2.3.0, OpenPGP Password & Encryption generation?  It seems like it's taking for ever for the keys to show up, even on 2048?08:47
xabai am thinking to mark bug 562706 as duplicate of bug 219653 even tough the former seems to occur during installation related and not the latter08:55
ubot2Launchpad bug 562706 in tasksel (Ubuntu) "On i386, selecting the ubuntu studio packages fails to install (affects: 1) (heat: 32)" [Critical,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/56270608:55

bilalakhtarvish: pm10:27
kermiacvish: stlsaint is a UBT member too, if I see him over the next couple of days I'll have a talk to him... apparently he had "reservatiions" wrt joining the bugsquad & draycen convinced him that we don't really bite too hard ;)10:29
vishkermiac: heh , yeah , what went wrong? bugs didnt get fixed or... ?10:32
kermiacvish: i dont honestly know10:33
vishkermiac: cool , i think he has been pinging me for the past week and it has been at around those times [2-4am in the morning] just ask him to leave the message next time ;)10:36
kermiacvish: will do mate, I only noticed the first one otherwise I would have told him to !ping with context ;)10:37
vish:)10:38
vishkermiac: hmm , he is available at 23-04UTC and everyone is full.. we are yet to get an update from maco  , once we know her status we can probably assign her , but till then :s10:54
vishkermiac: did you get a reply from your students? you mentioned no response from a few of them10:55
kermiacvish: ok mate, I'll pass on the message if/when i dee him10:55

micahgpedro_: why should people enable apport always for crashes, why not use forcs_start=122:04
pedro_micahg, well if the crash is easy to reproduce that temporary solution works22:05
pedro_micahg, but for the others we prefer to recommend them to enable apport22:05
