ailoScottL: scott-upstairs: No -lowlatency in the repo?00:06
ailopaultag: Reading on Debian Python policy http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/00:13
paultagailo: you can clone my lintco debdir00:14
paultagailo: it's clean according to python policy00:14
paultagscott-upstairs: I'm filing a bug as insurince00:15
paultagscott-upstairs: can you mark https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/724656 <-- as critical?00:16
ubottuUbuntu bug 724656 in Ubuntu Studio "ubuntustudio-controls is both hackish and out of date" [Undecided,Confirmed]00:16
paultagailo: can you close bug 724656 in your changelog?00:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 724656 in Ubuntu Studio "ubuntustudio-controls is both hackish and out of date" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72465600:17
paultag<-- has no bug-control rights for ubuntustudio :)00:17
ailopaultag: We should perhaps remove the -controls from Maverick. On Lucid it only makes half sense00:18
paultagailo: aye, not a bad idea00:18
ailoSo, the bug is still in effect for the older releases00:18
paultagailo: we can worry about backporting after it's all set for natty (or removal)00:19
paultagailo: that's a big process and takes a bit of time. Let's just get this all set :)00:19
ailopaultag: Can't say I'm happy with the program right now. Would like to change how it executes the commands. Read something about that. Using gksudo in a shell doesn't seem like the optimal approach. The app freezes while it makes changes00:20
paultagailo: it's OK00:21
ailopaultag: The bug you wanted me to close. Set it to invalid?00:22
ailoOh, sorry. Confused. In the changelog...00:24
ailopaultag: So, you don't know what the python version problem is with the packaging?00:24
paultagailo: no, I'm not a python guru00:25
paultagailo: perhaps someone in -motu maintains a python app for real00:25
ailopaultag: Ok, I will investigate. Thanks for your help :).00:26
paultagailo: rock on!00:27
ScottLpaultag, bug marked as critical now00:39
ScottLoi, you probably got the email anyways00:40
ScottLailo left already, i'll wait till he's back to comment on -lowlatency00:40
paultagScottL: you rule, thanks :)00:41
paultagScottL: since it's RC, we can upload -controls through featre freeze ;)00:41
ailoLast upgrade on Natty seems to have killed my networking01:40
ScottLailo, ouch, that sucks :(01:41
ScottLailo, as far as the -lowlatency kernel, that's still up to abogani to get to persia to push into the repos at this point01:42
TheMusoYes there is an isc-dhcp package issue, a fix has been uploaded, it will take time to trickle down to mirrors.01:42
ailoScottL: Don't we need to upload it before feature freeze?01:43
TheMusoFeature freeze is in effect.01:51
paultagTheMuso: seriously?01:51
TheMusoYes.01:52
TheMusoCheck the topic in #ubuntu-devel, and read the latest message on ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com.01:52
TheMusoI suggest you guys keep an eye on both places.01:52
ailoTheMuso: so it's impossible to upload a new kernel, or is that not affected?01:53
TheMusoAdding any new packages to the archive is not possible, unless you are granted a feature freeze exception. The earlier these are applied for, the better.01:53
paultagTheMuso: I don't do ubuntu-devel, so I don't like subing to such noisy lists :)01:54
paultagTheMuso: it's already there, and it closes a RC bug01:54
ScottLi suppose we should really talk to abogani and see if he is willing to submit one for pushing to the repos01:54
paultagTheMuso: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-controls01:54
paultagOh shit, we're not talking about that01:55
* paultag walks away01:55
ScottLlol01:55
TheMusopaultag: ubuntu-devel-announce is low traffic.02:08
ScottLi didn't finish my thought though :/02:27
ScottLif abogani doesn't have a kernel he wants to push then it doesn't do any good to see about filing a freeze exception02:28
ScottLalthough if he is willing to provide one then i would be happy to file the exception :)02:28
scott-upstairsheh, abogani, i think i might have found another part of my trouble:03:53
scott-upstairsscott@lucid-studio:~/kernel$ debuild -S -sa03:53
scott-upstairsThis package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be03:53
scott-upstairsan appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;03:53
scott-upstairs(expected one of linux-lowlatency_2.6.38.orig.tar.gz, linux-lowlatency_2.6.38.orig.tar.bz2,03:53
scott-upstairslinux-lowlatency_2.6.38.orig.tar.lzma or kernel.orig)03:53
scott-upstairscontinue anyway? (y/n)03:53
scott-upstairsi'm pretty sure this is what is giving me the bad .changes file03:55
* abogani waves07:11
aboganiWe don't have a any kernel to push.07:11
aboganiScottL: ^07:11
scott-upstairsabogani, i looked under your -lowlatency directory but did not find an original tarball for the -lowlatency kernel13:03
scott-upstairsi did find one under the -lowlatency-meta directory however (which explains why this same error didn't show up previously)13:03
scott-upstairsam i missing something from the git directory?13:03
aboganiscott-upstairs: No. It is a native package so It don't have original tarball.13:05
aboganiOk.13:05
aboganiRemove _all_ (but not the git tree).13:05
aboganifor every git tree directory execute "git remote update --prune && git reset --hard origin"13:06
aboganiAnd so retry again13:06
aboganiThis time start with ubuntu-natty-lowlatency package13:07
abogani(the kernel)13:07
ailo-net_Whats a sure way to install natty from usb? Ive failed so far with both current live and alternative cd as well as alpha 2 live cd16:43
ailo-net_Using both ubuntus usb creator and unetbootin16:43
falktxailo-net_: alternate cd in usb is possible too16:43
falktxmaybe that will work16:44
ailo-net_Already tried that, but havent tried alpha 2 version yet16:44
ailo-net_All of them boot, but all of them fail at some point16:45
falktxheh16:45
falktxI hope they fix natty issues soon, or it will be a disaster16:45

ubottuUbuntu bug 697774 in Ubuntu Studio "cant install ubuntustudio from USB stick" [Undecided,New]16:46
ailo-net_I lost networking in my last upgrade. That and other reasons make me want to do a fresh install16:46
holsteinalthough i havent tried it myself, i was told https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller worked16:46
falktx"Won't Fix?"16:46
ailo-net_Well, I havent even tried installing UbuntuStudio yet. Did that on another machine more than a week ago, and it installed well from DVD, except when logging in the graphics were corrupted.16:48
holsteinO I C16:48
holsteinnatty vanilla is failing16:49
holsteininteresting16:49
holsteini installed from CD16:49
ailo-net_Could be the prolem is Im trying to install from usb16:49
ailo-net_I also tried installing from harddisk, but I must be missing some info on that. Was able to boot, but after choosing language, the installation freezed.16:50
ailo-net_Just want to be able to install without CD or DVD. :P16:51
ailo-net_This must be the bug I suffer fro v17:02
ailo-net_https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/72455617:02
ubottuUbuntu bug 724556 in isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Natty) "[Natty] isc-dhcp update breaks network connection" [Critical,Fix released]17:02
ailo-net_Seems like Alpha 2 with unetbootin is what will work for me17:12
scott-workfalktx: which "natty issues" are you speaking of?17:14
falktxscott-work: gcc errors17:14
scott-workailo-net_: TheMuso said it was know and a fix pushed but it would take time for the fix to hit all the mirrors17:14
scott-workfalktx: OH!  aye, that would be disasterous17:14
scott-worki've seen traffic on the debian multimedia team list about that as well17:14
ailo-net_The bug should be fixed now, from what they wrote17:15
ailoFinally!18:29
ailoScottL: I noticed Ubuntu's default desktop on Natty is looking very similar to a standard Gnome desktop. This is my impression making a fresh install of vanilla Alpha 2.20:37
ScottLailo,  is that good or bad in your opinion?20:54
ailoScottL: Can't tell what is the big difference really. Some of the features we saw earlier are missing. Pretty much the only thing I see is a united indicator applet, and the indicator-app-menu (mac global menu thing), which you can remove if you want.20:56
ailoOtherwise it looks very similar to before20:56
ailoPerhaps they rolled back a lot of features because of time pressure?20:56
ailoNot that I know what the goal is for unity20:57
ailoScottL: When I say similar to before, I mean similar to Maverick21:01
ScottLailo, which features are missing?21:27
ailoScottL: The panel seems to be a normal Gnome panel, there's no sidebar, the main menu is a Gnome main menu...21:28
ailoScottL: Really the other way around, nothing seems to be added, except for the global mac style menu21:28
ScottLailo, you mean for vanilla ubuntu or ubuntu desktop21:28
ScottLnot ubuntu studio21:28
ScottLyes?21:28
ailoScottL: This is from installing the vanilla Ubuntu, Alpha 2 release21:29
* ailo is going to take another look21:30
ailoScottL: The Ubuntu default Desktop is virtually identical to the "classic" Desktop right now.21:32
ailoScottL: Looking at the packages I can see that they've broken down unity into different packages.21:46
ScottLwell, luckily that shouldn't affect us though :)22:14
ScottLailo, did you see alessio's response about having a -lowlatency kernel?  basically he said he didn't have one :(22:16
ScottL" We don't have a any kernel to push" is what he said actually22:17
ailoScottL: I was wondering what he meant.22:17
