[00:19] nagappan, so it is your disk / disk controller [00:20] UndiFineD, interesting, the same works with older kernel [00:23] UndiFineD, found info about HD, its connected through 5.25" Trayless SATA - Hot Swap Drive Bay - www.startech.com [00:24] hmm, that might cause issues sometimes [00:24] seen it before [00:24] Compatibility - SATA/300 (STAT II) or SATA/150 hard drives [00:24] UndiFineD, interesting [00:25] nagappan: hey dude, long time indeed! whatcha been up to? [00:25] UndiFineD, this system works fine with Ubuntu 9.10 / 10.04 [00:25] cr3, ya just usual :-) [00:25] nagappan: sounds like you're getting old too :) [00:26] seems that as I grow older, things seem more like the same [00:26] UndiFineD, we never had any issue, even with 10.10 2.6.35-21-generic as well [00:26] nagappan, I had lots of issues with hotswap ide brackets, loose connections [00:26] cr3, ya, you are right :-) [00:26] UndiFineD, but this drive is just fixed as CD drive [00:27] UndiFineD, any work around other than using older kernel ;-) [00:27] oh it is a laptop hotswap thing sitting there instead of the cd tray ? [00:27] UndiFineD, exactly [00:28] well, I would install the older kernel then [00:31] UndiFineD, :-D http://us.startech.com/product/HSB100SATBK-525-Tray-Less-SATA-Hot-Swap-Bay [00:31] UndiFineD, but to test the product, we need latest Ubuntu 1 [00:31] UndiFineD, I mean latest released version [00:31] UndiFineD, BTW, I work for VMware [00:31] UndiFineD, also with few Ubuntu folks ;-) [00:33] ok nagappan : be sure there are no loose connections or dirt in between [00:34] i have seen such devices fail often [00:34] UndiFineD, the same works with older kernel and other hard disk [00:34] UndiFineD, we have never faced any issue earlier, atleast last 2 years [00:34] still, when opened/closed often enough these things wear down [00:34] UndiFineD, ok [00:35] hmmm, well how about using a newer kernel ? [00:48] UndiFineD, with todays update it still fail to work :-( [00:49] tried this alpha1 kernel ? [00:51] UndiFineD, with 10.10 latest update today [00:52] so no 2.6.37-6/7 [00:56] UndiFineD, yes no 2.6.37 [00:56] oops, bad typing [00:57] UndiFineD, no 2.6.37 [00:58] todays alpha release did not cause many problems for me, you might want to try and see if this does work for you [00:59] \o/ finally finished installing: Kubuntu Alternate i386 - expert - manual partition - entire disk encrypted [01:21] UndiFineD, okay === xfaf is now known as zul === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [08:55] 'morning ara [08:56] good morning primes2h [09:01] ara: I still can't set up dev environment for the tracker. I worked out the ident problem changing ident to trust in pg_hba.conf file [09:02] but now i get "database "qatracker" does not exist" [09:03] ara: it should be as I reconfigured drupal following the wiki [09:04] primes2h, did you create the database manually and put the needed permissions? [09:04] I even installed Karmic to avoid the need of downgrading php [09:05] ara: no [09:05] primes2h, it is one of the steps of the wiki page [09:06] ara: oh sorry, yes, I dropped the default drupal db and rerunning drupal config [09:06] did you select qatracker as database? [09:06] so, what step tells you "qatracer" does not exists? [09:06] sure, qatracker as db, qatracker as username , qatracker as password [09:07] ara: when I try to populate the db [09:07] psql qatrcker < etc [09:07] primes2h, hello [09:08] usung qatrcker user [09:08] using [09:08] hello jibel [09:08] primes2h, did you create the qatracker [09:08] primes2h, I've been able to setup the dev env with ara's instructions. [09:09] primes2h, qatracker db I mean. [09:09] jibel: did you use a VM? [09:09] primes2h, yes. [09:09] primes2h, lucid [09:10] primes2h, the problem I had was that the qatracker db and the associated user were not created. [09:11] jibel: you mena within postrgres? [09:11] s/mena/mean [09:11] primes2h, right [09:11] primes2h, So I logging in as postgres and issued [09:11] createuser qatracker [09:11] createdb qatracker [09:12] then you connect to template1 as postgres [09:12] and set the password for the user qatracker [09:13] something like "alter user 'qatracker' set password 'übersecretpassword'" [09:13] populate the db [09:13] and follow the remaining steps on the wiki. [09:13] jibel: I thought that drupal config had to take care of that. [09:13] primes2h, db-config sucks. [09:14] jibel: I see ;-) [09:18] primes2h, can you add those steps to the wiki, please? [09:19] I planned to redo a fresh install and update the wiki, but please primes2h go for it :-) [09:45] jibel: ara: now I try those steps and then I'll do it asap. Thanks a lot [09:45] primes2h, you're welcome [10:13] jibel: now it works perfectly. :-) [10:14] primes2h, Cool! [10:15] ara: would you mind providing me a dump of laptop tracker? when you have time of course... [10:21] primes2h, can you please me send me an email. I am a bit overloaded now, and I will forget otherwise [10:22] primes2h, thanks! [10:22] ara: sure!

Its broken currently and doesn't installs. Thanks.

This issue is a regression since 10.04.1 which had other problems and earned a won't fix nor backport in Maverick. [19:39] Almost better to be a guinea pig. [19:40] Do have another issue which is ftp connection tracking. Was working on Karmic and quit on Lucid. Any suggestions on debugging? [19:40] I am probably not going to upgrade the server to either Maverick nor Natty alpha, it's my bread and butter [19:47] tarvid: No suggestions, sorry. You might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 -- there are more active people there generally [19:47] This channel is used for coordinating test development and specific test efforts (like ISO testing) [19:47] It tends to be pretty quiet the rest of the time :) [20:37] the software-center didn't launch with the ALPHA-1 of narwhal [20:42] !Bug 684887 [20:42] Launchpad bug 684887 in software-center (Ubuntu) "software-center didn't launch (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/684887 [20:42] Factoid 'Bug 684887' not found
