[00:06] ScottL: scott-upstairs: No -lowlatency in the repo? [00:13] paultag: Reading on Debian Python policy http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ [00:14] ailo: you can clone my lintco debdir [00:14] ailo: it's clean according to python policy [00:15] scott-upstairs: I'm filing a bug as insurince [00:16] scott-upstairs: can you mark https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/724656 <-- as critical? [00:16] Ubuntu bug 724656 in Ubuntu Studio "ubuntustudio-controls is both hackish and out of date" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:17] ailo: can you close bug 724656 in your changelog? [00:17] Launchpad bug 724656 in Ubuntu Studio "ubuntustudio-controls is both hackish and out of date" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/724656 [00:17] <-- has no bug-control rights for ubuntustudio :) [00:18] paultag: We should perhaps remove the -controls from Maverick. On Lucid it only makes half sense [00:18] ailo: aye, not a bad idea [00:18] So, the bug is still in effect for the older releases [00:19] ailo: we can worry about backporting after it's all set for natty (or removal) [00:19] ailo: that's a big process and takes a bit of time. Let's just get this all set :) [00:20] paultag: 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 changes [00:21] ailo: it's OK [00:22] paultag: The bug you wanted me to close. Set it to invalid? [00:24] Oh, sorry. Confused. In the changelog... [00:24] paultag: So, you don't know what the python version problem is with the packaging? [00:25] ailo: no, I'm not a python guru [00:25] ailo: perhaps someone in -motu maintains a python app for real [00:26] paultag: Ok, I will investigate. Thanks for your help :). [00:27] ailo: rock on! [00:39] paultag, bug marked as critical now [00:40] oi, you probably got the email anyways [00:40] ailo left already, i'll wait till he's back to comment on -lowlatency [00:41] ScottL: you rule, thanks :) [00:41] ScottL: since it's RC, we can upload -controls through featre freeze ;) [01:40] Last upgrade on Natty seems to have killed my networking [01:41] ailo, ouch, that sucks :( [01:42] ailo, as far as the -lowlatency kernel, that's still up to abogani to get to persia to push into the repos at this point [01:42] Yes there is an isc-dhcp package issue, a fix has been uploaded, it will take time to trickle down to mirrors. [01:43] ScottL: Don't we need to upload it before feature freeze? [01:51] Feature freeze is in effect. [01:51] TheMuso: seriously? [01:52] Yes. [01:52] Check the topic in #ubuntu-devel, and read the latest message on ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com. [01:52] I suggest you guys keep an eye on both places. [01:53] TheMuso: so it's impossible to upload a new kernel, or is that not affected? [01:53] Adding 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. [01:54] TheMuso: I don't do ubuntu-devel, so I don't like subing to such noisy lists :) [01:54] TheMuso: it's already there, and it closes a RC bug [01:54] i suppose we should really talk to abogani and see if he is willing to submit one for pushing to the repos [01:54] TheMuso: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-controls [01:55] Oh shit, we're not talking about that [01:55] * paultag walks away [01:55] lol [02:08] paultag: ubuntu-devel-announce is low traffic. [02:27] i didn't finish my thought though :/ [02:28] if abogani doesn't have a kernel he wants to push then it doesn't do any good to see about filing a freeze exception [02:28] although if he is willing to provide one then i would be happy to file the exception :) [03:53] heh, abogani, i think i might have found another part of my trouble: [03:53] scott@lucid-studio:~/kernel$ debuild -S -sa [03:53] This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be [03:53] an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory; [03:53] (expected one of linux-lowlatency_2.6.38.orig.tar.gz, linux-lowlatency_2.6.38.orig.tar.bz2, [03:53] linux-lowlatency_2.6.38.orig.tar.lzma or kernel.orig) [03:53] continue anyway? (y/n) [03:55] i'm pretty sure this is what is giving me the bad .changes file [07:11] * abogani waves [07:11] We don't have a any kernel to push. [07:11] ScottL: ^ [13:03] abogani, i looked under your -lowlatency directory but did not find an original tarball for the -lowlatency kernel [13:03] i did find one under the -lowlatency-meta directory however (which explains why this same error didn't show up previously) [13:03] am i missing something from the git directory? [13:05] scott-upstairs: No. It is a native package so It don't have original tarball. [13:05] Ok. [13:05] Remove _all_ (but not the git tree). [13:06] for every git tree directory execute "git remote update --prune && git reset --hard origin" [13:06] And so retry again [13:07] This time start with ubuntu-natty-lowlatency package [13:07] (the kernel) [16:43] 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 cd [16:43] Using both ubuntus usb creator and unetbootin [16:43] ailo-net_: alternate cd in usb is possible too [16:44] maybe that will work [16:44] Already tried that, but havent tried alpha 2 version yet [16:45] All of them boot, but all of them fail at some point [16:45] heh [16:45] I hope they fix natty issues soon, or it will be a disaster [16:46] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/697774 [16:46] Ubuntu bug 697774 in Ubuntu Studio "cant install ubuntustudio from USB stick" [Undecided,New] [16:46] I lost networking in my last upgrade. That and other reasons make me want to do a fresh install [16:46] although i havent tried it myself, i was told https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller worked [16:46] "Won't Fix?" [16:48] 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] O I C [16:49] natty vanilla is failing [16:49] interesting [16:49] i installed from CD [16:49] Could be the prolem is Im trying to install from usb [16:50] 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. [16:51] Just want to be able to install without CD or DVD. :P [17:02] This must be the bug I suffer fro v [17:02] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/724556 [17:02] Ubuntu bug 724556 in isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Natty) "[Natty] isc-dhcp update breaks network connection" [Critical,Fix released] [17:12] Seems like Alpha 2 with unetbootin is what will work for me [17:14] falktx: which "natty issues" are you speaking of? [17:14] scott-work: gcc errors [17:14] ailo-net_: TheMuso said it was know and a fix pushed but it would take time for the fix to hit all the mirrors [17:14] falktx: OH! aye, that would be disasterous [17:14] i've seen traffic on the debian multimedia team list about that as well [17:15] The bug should be fixed now, from what they wrote [18:29] Finally! [20:37] ScottL: 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. [20:54] ailo, is that good or bad in your opinion? [20:56] ScottL: 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] Otherwise it looks very similar to before [20:56] Perhaps they rolled back a lot of features because of time pressure? [20:57] Not that I know what the goal is for unity [21:01] ScottL: When I say similar to before, I mean similar to Maverick [21:27] ailo, which features are missing? [21:28] ScottL: The panel seems to be a normal Gnome panel, there's no sidebar, the main menu is a Gnome main menu... [21:28] ScottL: Really the other way around, nothing seems to be added, except for the global mac style menu [21:28] ailo, you mean for vanilla ubuntu or ubuntu desktop [21:28] not ubuntu studio [21:28] yes? [21:29] ScottL: This is from installing the vanilla Ubuntu, Alpha 2 release [21:30] * ailo is going to take another look [21:32] ScottL: The Ubuntu default Desktop is virtually identical to the "classic" Desktop right now. [21:46] ScottL: Looking at the packages I can see that they've broken down unity into different packages. [22:14] well, luckily that shouldn't affect us though :) [22:16] ailo, did you see alessio's response about having a -lowlatency kernel? basically he said he didn't have one :( [22:17] " We don't have a any kernel to push" is what he said actually [22:17] ScottL: I was wondering what he meant.
