[05:58] gmsa [05:58] raid5 and double failures FTL [05:59] morning bmg505 [06:41] bmg505: hot spare [06:42] (cause a bunch of new drives will most likely fail at teh same time, throw in a hot spare and it won't be used until needed) [07:06] moonin [07:10] http://www.overclockers.com.au/image.php?pic=images/newspics/11feb11/15.jpg [07:10] !

[14:40] when is ubuntu hour coming to pretoria? [14:41] kodez: they are announced on the mailing list [14:41] either that, or just do it yourself [14:41] don't wait for someone else [14:42] kodez: 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I am going to be at XX on YY date at ZZ time :) [14:42] superfly, drubin: ubuntu-za site needs a poke, it's horribly out of date [14:42] I think it may also be responsible for the OOMs we are seeing on soda [14:42] i had not participated before and had been seeing the stellenbosch guys are the ones consistant in organising it [14:43] a news story or two [14:43] * drubin can't do it today [14:45] tumbleweed: looks like the cron job is having issues [14:46] superfly: yeah [14:46] so I'm assuming it's the planet bit that's at fault [14:48] probably [14:49] I 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) [14:51] it's fine, I prefer non-packaged Drupal [14:52] tumbleweed: I'll upgrade the modules, and perhaps Drupal itself if I have enough time, later this evening, once the munchkin is in bed [14:53] superfly: awesome :) [14:57] sorry guys... [15:06] drubin, do you mean we must wait for maiatoday to have another one?

[18:56] when i try install something i get an error message [18:57] or is it dpkg [18:57] dpkg: error processing python-louis (--configure): [18:57] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [18:57] No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. [18:57] Errors were encountered while processing: [18:57] python-support [18:57] python-louis [18:57] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [18:57] sorry for that large post [19:03] Kilos: just run "sudo aptitude -f install" [19:04] ty superfly [19:09] same thing superfly [19:09] http://slexy.org/view/s20qOhXQCi [19:10] is it because i completely removed midori perhaps [19:13] Kilos: ah, now I see what your problem is [19:13] what were you trying to do? [19:13] i told midori full page and couldnt see anything else [19:13] no panels etc [19:14] so i completely removed it via synaptic [19:14] thats when the error messages started [19:56] Kilos: it doesn't look like you did it properly [19:57] ]i did everything via synaptic superfly [19:57] and install sometimes with aptitude [19:57] no more foreign stuff [19:59] Kilos: try "sudo aptitude purge midori" [20:01] nope same errors [20:02] python-support and python-louis [20:13] oh 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 prob [20:14] i just did aptitude install python-doc and it downloaded 5.7m [20:14] but gave same error [20:14] http://slexy.org/view/s20l7kOFIL [20:15] how can it download so much if system was up to date [20:23] is 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 own [20:32] # [20:32] Package python-support is not configured yet. [20:32] That looks like the root error. [20:32] Kilos: Try aptitude reinstall python-support [20:33] ok [20:34] nope. same error report [20:35] Oh, also on man-db [20:35] Something's stuffed, I'm not sure what [20:38] yip. aptitude reinstall man-db gives same error [20:38] how do i aptitude reinstall from scratch [20:38] Kilos: Try dpkg-reconfigure python-support [20:39] And dpkg-reconfigure man-db [20:39] ok [20:40] miles@P4:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure python-support [20:40] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: python-support is broken or not fully installed [20:41] miles@P4:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure man-db [20:41] Updating database of manual pages ... [20:41] Segmentation fault [20:42] Hrm, okay, let's try get dpkg out the picture [20:43] sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.postinst [20:43] ok [20:43] no reports [20:44] So it seems to be dpkg itself, not the scripts. [20:44] will it give that on cli [20:45] or is it inna file somewhere [20:45] What do you mean? [20:46] when i run that command will it report on termial [20:46] terminal [20:46] not in logs somewhere [20:47] That last one? It should only output on the terminal. [20:47] If you just got your prompt back then it worked. [20:47] great [20:47] I'm wondering whether there are some dpkg hooks which are breaking. [20:48] is there a way to fix broken packages [20:49] without knowing which one is actually broken [20:49] I don't think it's the package which is broken [20:49] I think dpkg itself is broken. [20:49] eish [20:51] Kilos: Try "apt-get -f install" [20:51] ok [20:52] same errors [20:57] Kilos: Um, try: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/man-db_*.deb [20:58] ok [20:58] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archive/man-db_*.deb (--install): [20:58] cannot access archive: No such file or directory [20:58] Errors were encountered while processing: [20:58] /var/cache/apt/archive/man-db_*.deb [20:59] Sorry, archives [20:59] ah [21:01] sudo: /var/cache/apt/archives/man-db_2.5.7-4_i386.deb: command not found [21:02] sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/man-db_*.deb [21:03] no error message [21:03] Ooh [21:03] will paste to bin [21:03] That's fine, now do: [21:03] sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/python-support_*.deb [21:03] ok [21:04] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-support_*.deb (--install): [21:04] cannot access archive: No such file or directory [21:04] Errors were encountered while processing: [21:04] /var/cache/apt/archives/python-support_*.deb [21:04] Hrm, you don't have that deb [21:04] aptitude download python-support; sudo dpkg -i python-support_*.deb [21:05] ok [21:05] Segmentation fault [21:05] Errors were encountered while processing: [21:05] python-support [21:06] Meh [21:06] I don't know what else to suggest [21:07] ok ty for the help i will do a clean install [21:07] is there a way to go straight to the recovery mode [21:08] at least this time it missed python-louis [21:18] see you all tomorrow. sleep tight. ty for the help [21:36] hey guys its fixed [21:37] seeing as i was gonna do a clean install i decided to play in root [21:37] sudo -i [21:37] then aptitude install dpkg and man-db and python support [21:38] python-support [21:38] now synaptic is working as well. i so happy. 100m data saved [21:38] ty [21:39] sleep well. i will [21:39] Maaz, coffee on [21:39] * Maaz puts the kettle on [21:40] Maaz, move it [21:40] Don't rush me Kilos .
