nemothat was the one that caused me to file my enhancement request?03:19
nemothat bug offered no useful suggestions03:20
nemothat's why I didn't file it so much as a bug as a request for a specific action03:20
nemoa simple one at that03:20
* nemo sighs03:20
nemonow it is another dupe and disappears below the waves03:20
nemobut, hey, at least I guess that's a tacit acknowledgement the move was wrong :-p03:21
nemobut, yeah, bit of a difference between the (repeated) reports of "Ubuntu filled up my HD" and "Ubuntu, please make the following short script change"03:22
nemoor at least seems that way to me.03:22
brycehnemo, dude chill it with the attitude03:27
brycehnemo, I just put your fix in git, but you're making me regret doing so!03:27
nemoeep03:27
brycehanyway, I'm well past EOD.03:27
nemohey. didn't want it to actually be applied like that03:27
nemobut. uh. great?03:27
nemoI was concerned it was a bit too hackish, that there should be a rolling appender03:28
RAOFnemo: Yeah.03:28
RAOFDo you know of one off the top of your head?03:28
nemoerm. welll. there are the various log dæmons03:28
nemodo any of 'em take arbitrary streams?03:28
* nemo looks03:28
RAOFIdeally it should be something we already ship by default.03:31
nemohmm. I wonder how hard it would be to make a rolling appender script03:31
nemomaybe something could be hacked up w/ tee and tail03:32
* nemo fiddles03:32
RAOFWe *used* to have only the first 1,000 lines or so, and that always annoyed me because what I was after was almost always after the end.03:32
nemoyeah, that's a bit too short03:32
nemogrr. can't think of anything that doesn't involve a cronjob truncating :(03:38
nemomaybe #bash has an idea03:38
Sarvattwhat I want from it has always been in the first ~200 lines or at the very end personally, would love to not have this 30MB of nm-applet spam in the rest of it at the moment :)03:39
nemoSarvatt: piping it through uniq -c first might help03:39
nemoassuming nm-applet is being repetitive03:39
nemouniq -c does seem to help with my .xsession-errors03:40
nemo  11355 Attempted to place a tile entity where there was no entity tile!03:40
nemothe most repeated line :)03:40
* RAOF agrees with Sarvatt - first ~200 lines + the rest.03:41
nemohm.03:41
nemothat *could* be done with tee03:41
nemobryceh: welll. anyway, attitude aside, what about adding uniq -c into the mix?03:42
nemoseems to help with mine03:42
nemo| uniq -c | head -c 500000003:42
nemoor whatever03:42
nemodoes unfortunately add spam for the case of single lines though...03:43
nemohm03:43
nemouniq -c .xsession-errors | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*1[[:space:]]//' | head -c 500000003:44
nemothat avoids spam03:44
RAOFIt also doesn't seem to compress the xsession-errors much.03:48
nemonemo@nemo-desktop:~$ uniq -c .xsession-errors > /tmp/foo03:48
nemonemo@nemo-desktop:~$ ls -l /tmp/foo .xsession-errors03:48

nemo(this desktop has no head -c since the session hasn't been restarted in a long time :) )03:49
RAOFWheras mine are both 3.5MB both before and after the uniq filtering.03:49
nemo1583225 with the sed in place03:49
nemoRAOF: well, harmless at least03:50
nemoapart from spawning a couple more processes03:50
nemoRAOF: bet your log has a lot of timestamped error spam...03:51
nemomine is probably filled with minecraft server junk :)03:51
nemoserver/client03:51
RAOFNo.  It's got a lot of pairs of lines repeating :)03:51
nemowell. not the server anymore, I moved that off of X03:51
nemoah03:51
nemoshame uniq can't pick up pairs of lines03:51
RAOFI think it'll be better to leave the log unfiltered, just truncate the middle.03:53
nemoRAOF: and how do you propose doing that? :)03:53
nemoI can't think of any clever way to do it that does not involve a cronjob03:53
RAOFI dunno :)03:53
nemoanyway, slapping the uniq -c into mine.03:53
nemoif I had had that in place before... well, actually, since the stupid oracle process hadn't actually spewed any *lines* it wouldnt've helped03:54
nemobut the truncate would have03:54
nemoand clearly the uniq helps on my current desktop03:54
nemo80% reduction almost03:55
ionnemo: What does the third one result in on your system? wc -l .xsession-errors <(<.xsession-errors uniq -c) <(<.xsession-errors grep -v '^$' | uniq -c)03:58
ionnemo: Sorry, wc -c03:58
nemonemo@nemo-desktop:~$ wc -c .xsession-errors <(<.xsession-errors uniq -c) <(<.xsession-errors grep -v '^$' | uniq -c) | xargs03:59

nemosorry for pasting 4 lines before, btw03:59
nemohm. blank line removal!03:59
nemodidn't think of that one03:59
ionOk, not much of a difference on your system. On my system, there’s a great number of messages from Gtk applications that have extra newlines, making uniq unable to do its magic.04:00
nemoI wonder if -Ev '^[[:space:]]*'  would help04:00
nemoeh. might still be worth adding04:00

ubottuUbuntu bug 589275 in xorg (Ubuntu) "client application error messages fill up disk in .xsession-errors" [Low,Fix committed]04:04
nemoion: yeah, that's why I did the sed removal of the 1 spam04:04
nemoion: that way uniq is always smaller04:04

nemoion: the grep saved 7,121 bytes over here04:05
nemoion: I think the more tangible benefit of uniq is if a process is doing a *lot* of spamming and likely to overwhelm logs...04:06
nemothat's when uniq will show the best results04:06
nemo(probably)04:07
RAOFBut only if it's spamming in a particular way.04:10

pittiah, ok15:18
SEJeff_workpython2.7-dev has the .pc file, but not 2.6. This breaks the build of some applications15:19
dokoSEJeff_work: indeed, should be fixed15:21
SEJeff_workdoko, Do you want me to file a bug, or will you take care of it?15:22
dokoSEJeff_work, ScottK: hmm, not found upstream, so I doubt it's a good idea to backport15:22
pittiScottK: hm, it seems that running backports is currently totally busted :/15:26
pitti"Not allowed to execute commands on this server." -- ???15:26

nemoSo, over years of ubuntu use, Evolution has been repeatedly frustrating.  Sucking up huge amounts of memory, locking up, completely failing at MAPI (both old and new exchange servers), disconnecting silently, corrupting accounts...16:54
nemoThe last straw for me was losing all access to IMAP over the last week because Evolution had gotten confused enough internally that it was sure that davmail (which I had not changed), was sending message contents as IMAP commands.16:55
nemoRepeated resets of davmail did nothing, neither did updating it.  So, gave up, switched to Thunderbird, and now life is awesome16:56
nemoMail works great, never disconnects, uses little memory, has those nice little notifications, pretty interface...16:56
SpamapScjwatson: I'm about to dive into a little project the server team is working on regarding preseed fetching over HTTP. Before I head into the code, can you see any barriers to adding a header to the HTTP request that fetches a preseed file containing the default route if's MAC address?16:56
nemoAnd I can even point it at a thunderbird profile on a windows share for shared mail.16:56
nemoSo. Yeah.  I think Thunderbird makes for a better default Ubuntu mail client, based on my personal experience :)16:56
SpamapSlast time I used Thunderbird it was pretty janky. That was maybe 5 years ago though.16:57
cjwatsonSpamapS: somebody else on your team already asked me that :)16:57
cjwatsonand I said sure, file a bug on preseed16:57
SpamapScjwatson: OH haha.. we're coming at you from all angles. :)16:57
SpamapScjwatson: well thanks, and we'll mind the echo. ;)16:58
cjwatsonI'm unlikely to have time to do it and would prefer it if you guys did.  Please run it past debian-boot at lists.debian.org though, as this is effectively a new piece of interface.16:58
barrynemo, SpamapS: claws-mail ftw16:58
SpamapSbarry: I'm not all that unhappy with evolution. My only gripe is that in threaded mode, it sorts by the first message date, instead of the latest, so you end up missing new emails to old threads.16:59
nemobarry: hm. might check it out, anyway, thunderbird is behaving well for me.17:00
nemobarry: after years of fail, is such a relief to have e-mail that just works17:00
nemooh. didn't finish my list of Evolution fail :)17:00
barryi gave up on evolution after 1.4, when they added all that non-email related crap :)17:00
nemojunk mail that reappeared in inbox, failure to refresh folders, unable to *open* inbox by clicking on the inbox icon - was like my directory tree couldn't expand...17:00
nemoduplicate inbox and junk mail and sent folders appearing in tree :)17:01
barrybut i'm also a firm believer in using whatever works for you!17:01
didrocks? did you try imapx/imap+?17:01
nemoI went so far as to wipe every evolution setting I could find, created a new profile, reimported all my old e-mail17:01
nemostill blew up17:01
nemodidrocks: yep17:01
nemodidrocks: imap,imap+,mapi,webdav (while we were on old server)  none of 'em were reliable :)17:02
didrocksnemo: working fine here, with huge email account and on a netbook17:02
didrocksbut well… not the place to troll :)17:02
* barry -> lunch17:02
nemodidrocks: eh. just saying, Evolution seems flakey, and always has been for me, wasn't meaning to troll, just suggest maybe it should be given up on :-p17:03
hyperairoh evolution is flaky alright =p17:03
nemodidrocks: could be due to massive amounts of e-mail, and gigantic address books and, oh, perhaps exchange server flakiness.17:03

=== oubiwann_ is now known as oubiwann
hyperair*and* doesn't hang on bad networks17:03
nemohyperair: thunderbird seems to be satisfying both criteria for me17:04
nemomemory usage is like 10% of what evolution's was, and isn't crapping out17:04
hyperairit's wonderful that most developers have such wonderful internet connections that evolution never hangs for them, but for people with crap networks.. well..17:04
nemoand had that very clever autodetect feature17:04
SpamapSnemo: the real issue is IMAP interoperability.. which Thunderbird has always done better, I assume because it has a more diverse ecosystem to support.17:04
hyperairnemo: i like thunderbird. i use it. but back when i had only 2G of RAM in my notebook, i could only choose to open one: firefox, or thunderbird.17:04
SpamapSI admit, I miss OS X's mail app17:04
hyperairnemo: only one or the other. opening both would send the machine into swapping hell17:05
SpamapSsuper simple17:05
SpamapScrazy fast17:05
hyperairclaws is awesome, but it hangs on network17:05
hyperairor rather, it doesn't hang, but more like gets paralyzed17:05
hyperairit'll just show that stupid progress bar for ages and ages17:05
SpamapShyperair: meaning, if the network goes away, it fails?17:05
hyperairSpamapS: no, if network was a nice switch that went from on to off without bouncing, it'd be awesome.17:06
hyperairSpamapS: but the networks i'm on blink on and off and have fluctuating latencies. by a very high margin17:06
SpamapShyperair: ahh, evo seems to handle that alright17:06
hyperairtwo years ago it didn't17:06
hyperairi had a very bad experience with that17:06
hyperairmy panel would hang until i killed evolution17:07
hyperairsee, the clock wants to access evolution-data-server17:07
hyperairbut evolution likes polling the servers on startup17:07
hyperairand when the servers don't reply, it will hang for ever and ever >_>17:07
hyperairand i'll be like FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GIVE ME BACK MY CLOCK17:07
nemohyperair: hm. odd. I use seamonkey on my P133 with 96MiB of memory17:08
hyperairyeah, so i decided i had enough of that stress and went to thunderbird.17:08
nemohyperair: no problem with both email and web open - admittedly, not *large* amounts of e-mail - maybe a few thousand messages17:08
hyperairnemo: try getting a gmail inbox that's 45% full.17:08
nemohyperair: anyway, they've clearly made a lot of progress in the past few years on the memory front17:08
hyperairnemo: who, thunderbird, or evo?17:09
hyperairnemo: i haven't used evo seriously for 2 years.17:09
hyperairnemo: on the other hand, i use thunderbird on a daily basis17:09
hyperairbecause nothing else works as well17:09
