kodezafternoon all, when is the next ubuntu-za meeting?11:43
kodezalso where do I get the last meeting minutes, i had forgotten the website?11:44
drubinkodez: next meeting will be some time later this month not sure exact date.11:44
drubinwebsite it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam11:45
kodezthanks drubin, i will try to keep up with the latest developments11:50
kodezare there any ubuntu hour coming in pretoria?12:09
kodezwhen is ubuntu hour coming to pretoria?14:40
superflykodez: they are announced on the mailing list14:41
superflyeither that, or just do it yourself14:41
superflydon't wait for someone else14:41
drubinkodez: there was one while maiatoday was there.. but just email the list and tell people I am going to be at XX on YY date at ZZ time :)14:42
tumbleweedsuperfly, drubin: ubuntu-za site needs a poke, it's horribly out of date14:42
tumbleweedI think it may also be responsible for the OOMs we are seeing on soda14:42
kodezi had not participated before and had been seeing the stellenbosch guys are the ones consistant in organising it14:42
superflya news story or two14:43
* drubin can't do it today14:43
superflytumbleweed: looks like the cron job is having issues14:45
tumbleweedsuperfly: yeah14:46
tumbleweedso I'm assuming it's the planet bit that's at fault14:46
superflyprobably14:48
tumbleweedI can upgrade the box to squeeze which would mean we can use a package-managed drupal, but that's going to take some negotiation with frogfoot (we'll need a newer kernel for squeeze's udev)14:49
superflyit's fine, I prefer non-packaged Drupal14:51
superflytumbleweed: I'll upgrade the modules, and perhaps Drupal itself if I have enough time, later this evening, once the munchkin is in bed14:52
tumbleweedsuperfly: awesome :)14:53
drubinsorry guys... 14:57
kodezdrubin, do you mean we must wait for maiatoday to have another one?15:06
drubinkodez: No deffinatly don't do that, maia is it cape town15:07
drubinkodez: Just start your own one15:07

Kiloshttp://slexy.org/view/s20qOhXQCi19:09
Kilosis it because i completely removed midori perhaps19:10

Kilosno panels etc19:13
Kilosso i completely removed it via synaptic19:14
Kilosthats when the error messages started19:14
superflyKilos: it doesn't look like you did it properly19:56
Kilos]i did everything via synaptic superfly 19:57
Kilosand install sometimes with aptitude19:57
Kilosno more foreign stuff19:57
superflyKilos: try "sudo aptitude purge midori"19:59
Kilosnope same errors20:01
Kilospython-support and  python-louis20:02
Kilosoh superfly  i had to boot 3 or 4 times till it got to recovery mode and did that and also grub update from there as well. could that be the prob20:13
Kilosi just did aptitude install python-doc and it downloaded 5.7m20:14
Kilosbut gave same error20:14
Kiloshttp://slexy.org/view/s20l7kOFIL20:14
Kiloshow can it download so much if system was up to date20:15
Kilosis there a key to press to get to boot into the mode where you choose recovery or another version . i just keep rebboting till it stops there on its own20:23
cocooncrash#20:32
cocooncrashPackage python-support is not configured yet.20:32
cocooncrashThat looks like the root error.20:32
cocooncrashKilos: Try aptitude reinstall python-support20:32
Kilosok20:33
Kilosnope. same error report20:34
cocooncrashOh, also on man-db20:35
cocooncrashSomething's stuffed, I'm not sure what20:35

KilosUpdating database of manual pages ...20:41
KilosSegmentation fault20:41
cocooncrashHrm, okay, let's try get dpkg out the picture20:42
cocooncrashsudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.postinst20:43
Kilosok20:43
Kilosno reports20:43
cocooncrashSo it seems to be dpkg itself, not the scripts.20:44
Kiloswill it give that on cli20:44
Kilosor is it inna file somewhere20:45
cocooncrashWhat do you mean?20:45
Kiloswhen i run that command will it report on termial20:46
Kilosterminal20:46
Kilosnot in logs somewhere20:46
cocooncrashThat last one? It should only output on the terminal.20:47
cocooncrashIf you just got your prompt back then it worked.20:47
Kilosgreat20:47
cocooncrashI'm wondering whether there are some dpkg hooks which are breaking.20:47
Kilosis there a way to fix broken packages20:48
Kiloswithout knowing which one is actually broken20:49
cocooncrashI don't think it's the package which is broken20:49
cocooncrashI think dpkg itself is broken.20:49
