[00:36] <mrbrocoli> i'm making a package that needs to install some python modules, how do i make setup.py install the modules in the right place? the default puts in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages, which seems to be ignored in ubuntu.. i found something about --install-layout=deb in google, but it puts stuff in dist-packages, which sound like soemthing reserved to the distro
[00:36] <mrbrocoli> how do i make stuff install in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages without hardcoding that?
[02:34] <dnivra> hello. I am trying to compile apt from source and would like to know how do I specify to the compiler not to perform any optimizations?
[04:20] <v> nhandler!
[05:11] <Sarvatt> doko_: the 436 "could not read symbols: Invalid operation" build failures on http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu_ftbfs.cgi is what he's referring to I believe..
[09:35] <fargiolas> hi, I'm working on a customization of ubuntu lucid, a persistent live usb setup, I'd like to customize the bootmanager but I'm having some difficulty understanding the whole thing, it seems to use gfxboot but there are lots of apparently unused files, is there a design document anywhere about it?
[13:39] <KAM> I'm following the instruction here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen to run xen on Ubuntu Maverick
[13:39] <sabdfl> langpacks!
[13:39] <KAM> but issuing "make world" gives me the following error ..
[13:39] <KAM> http://serverfault.com/questions/208777/installing-xen-4-0-1-from-source-on-ubuntu-10-10
[13:40] <KAM> any idea how to fix that ?
[13:43] <KAM> is this the appropriate channel to ask this question
[13:43] <KAM> ?
[13:46] <cdbs> KAM: I prefer you to ask that in #ubuntu
[13:47] <KAM> cdbs: Ok, thanks.
[15:44] <Chaos2358> is this a support channel/
[15:44] <Chaos2358> ?
[15:46] <vish> !support | Chaos2358
[15:47] <Chaos2358> vish the official support channel #ubuntu has no idea whats causeing my issue or how to remedy and reffered me to the devs
[15:48] <vish> Chaos2358: you can also ask in askubuntu.com or in the ubuntu forums
[15:49] <Hobbsee> probably no devs around at the moment
[15:50] <Hobbsee> given the weekend and all
[15:52] <Chaos2358> vish do you really think i would be in here talking to the swollen headed pompous assclowns which reside if i had not already followed those avenues to no end??
[15:53] <Hobbsee> Chaos2358: and you've just ensured that absolutely no one will help you.  Goodbye.
[15:55] <ikonia> Chaos2358: stop it now
[15:55] <ikonia> Chaos2358: you know the rules, that attitude will get you banned
[15:57] <Chaos2358> why must people always suggest a different avenue for help instead of perhaps realizing thpse avenues have led me here?
[15:57] <ikonia> Chaos2358: who told you to come here
[15:57] <Hobbsee> Chaos2358: because of the number of people who come in here, don't read the topic, and don't do the right thing
[15:58] <Chaos2358> three different people in ubuntu over the last week have said it was a problem for the devs as it could not be sorted by myself or with their help
[15:58] <ikonia> Chaos2358: ok - a problem for the devs
[15:58] <ikonia> Chaos2358: have you logged the bug
[15:59] <Chaos2358> no
[15:59] <ikonia> Chaos2358: ok thats point one (I'm sure we have been through this )
[15:59] <Chaos2358> i come to the devs chanel
[15:59] <ikonia> Chaos2358: this isn't a support channel
[15:59] <ikonia> Chaos2358: you log a bug, it gets allocated and progressed
[15:59] <ikonia> Chaos2358: thats the process, this isn't a support channel
[15:59] <Chaos2358> ok ok
[16:00] <ikonia> Chaos2358: and we've spoke before, your crappy attitude to people won't get you help, so if you are going to interact with people, it needs to stop
[16:00] <ikonia> Chaos2358: that said, if you go through the process, we'll help you work it through to resolution
[16:01] <Chaos2358> ok
[16:01] <ikonia> Chaos2358: consider this your only warning (as we've spoke before) if I see this attitude from you again, you'll get banned, no discussion, understand ?
[16:01] <Chaos2358> yep clean and clear
[16:01] <ikonia> ok, so lets leave this channel (/part) and go to support and i'll help you log a bug and progress it
[16:02] <Chaos2358> go to support? you mean #ubuntu?
[16:02] <ikonia> yes
[16:02] <ikonia> sorry, should have been clear
[16:02] <ikonia> (sorry for the interuption all)
[17:47] <RoAkSoAx> mterry: ping?
[17:51] <mterry> RoAkSoAx, yo
[17:52] <RoAkSoAx> mterry: howdy!! should I just add the "-V" to binary-common dh_makeshlibs and upload a new revision?
[17:52] <RoAkSoAx> (for cluster-glue that is)
[18:05] <mterry> RoAkSoAx, um, I don't think that would work.  I think each library needs its own -V argument.
[18:05] <mterry> RoAkSoAx, not sure how that would look off the top of my head without using cdbs
[18:05] <mterry> RoAkSoAx, or you could add symbols files, those are real nice
[18:09] <RoAkSoAx> mterry: uhmm i've been taking a look to other packages and they have the dh_makeshlibs -a -V and dh_makeshlibs -i -V in binary-arc and binary-indep respectively, so I'm guessing that in this case, adding the -V in binary-common should do the trick?
[18:10] <mterry> RoAkSoAx, but I believe that gets trickier when dealing with multiple libraries, right?  Like, the -V argument includes the library name?
[18:13] <RoAkSoAx> mterry: no I don't think so. For example, redhat-cluster has no symbol files and only have the dh_makeshlibs -a -V and dh_makeshlibs -i -V
[18:15] <mterry> RoAkSoAx, seems OK then, but we're starting to get beyond my depth.  Make it look like that, and I'll have another MIR guy with more library expertise confirm
[18:16] <RoAkSoAx> mterry: awesome!! Thanks ;)
[18:26] <nonix4> How do I get SRU process of a backport started properly?
[20:01] <figaro> hey there
[20:03] <figaro> anyone have experience with appindicators?
[20:05] <ebroder> figaro: You might have better luck in #ayatana
[20:05] <figaro> thanks!
[21:02] <mbiebl> cjwatson: thanks a lot for you quick response to the man-db bug
[21:02] <mbiebl> I like it if a bug is handled like this :-)
[21:41] <cjwatson> mbiebl: no problem, you happened to catch me at a point when I was going round clearing up man-db bugs anyway :)
[21:42] <geser> did the plymouth theme dropped on quality? it looks pixelized to me
[22:40] <ari-tczew> SpamapS: do you make patches due to working for Canonical?
[23:05] <ebroder> Anybody know if there's a git repo somewhere with the Ubuntu revisions of the -intel driver? Vcs-Git refers to a repo at git.debian.org, which only appears to have Debian tags
[23:19] <crimsun> ebroder: git?  Hmm, don't think so, though there's bzr at https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel.  They're imported under ~ubuntu-branches
[23:20] <ebroder> crimsun: I'm trying to bisect a regression, and the closest Debian version on the "good" end seems to segfault for me while Ubuntu's doesn't
[23:22] <penguin42> does someone understand when it's reasonable to use access_ok() in the kernel? What's the point if copy_from_user might still fail?
[23:22] <ebroder> crimsun: I'll look at the bzr branch, though. If there's enough merge metadata there that I can bisect upstream with that...
