ScottKohsix: #ubuntu-desktop is probably a better place to find people who would know the answer to that.06:04
ScottKkees: That worked (apport).  Thanks.06:04
ohsixit was mostly rhetorical, i'm amending the one bug i did report; as i've pretty much isolated it to compiz06:04
YokoZarhmm, dpkg installation error of apport package...I wonder if reporting it will generate a some sort of logical black hole06:06
ScottKYokoZar: Fixed. Wait for an update on a mirror near you.06:06
YokoZarIndeed.  Still it does pose a logical quandry.06:06
ScottKAgreed.06:07
ScottKMy question to my wife tonight was, "Want to hear some computer related irony?"06:07
ohsixYokoZar: that was something in the post-install script about failure starting, it just moved from enabled=1 in /etc/default/apport before that update, i just enabled it again to get it to installed; but a new package has been uploaded already that properly ignores startup failure06:09
stgraberYokoZar: well, I found it even funnier as the specific update was meant to turn it off :) Instead it got triggered on anyone who upgraded to that version.06:17
ohsixthat was cute, yea06:18
ohsixhow did it update my changes in /etc/default anyways; i always have it enabled, i thought that was one of the config protect directories, does one of the hooks just force change it?06:19
cjwatsonohsix: if you haven't changed the conffile locally, package changes to it are applied automatically07:12
ohsixcjwatson: but i had, i had enabled=1 in there before i upgraded to natty alpha07:13
jubeihello :) Not sure if this is the right place to be asking. I've already asked in Eclipse to no avail. I'm trying to write C++0x on linux with Eclipse CDT. I want to use std::unique_pointer and even though gcc compiles it fine, I don't get normal auto-complete when i do std:: ... it only gives me the old std classes/templates.

smosereither woudl be suitable for this.17:17
smoseruser is brand new, no .mozilla directory17:17

LLStarksspamaps, if i've lost VT access, would upstart be to blame?17:22
SpamapSLLStarks: probably not. When you say lost it, alt-F1 doesn't give you a getty?17:23
SpamapSLLStarks: I tend to blame plymouth first. ;)17:23
SpamapSbecause I understand it less17:23
LLStarksspamaps: no. and neither does recovery console.17:23
SpamapSLLStarks: have you tried booting with 'quiet' removed, and '--verbose'  on the kernel cmdline ?17:24
LLStarksi can try. i also have bootcharts at the ready.17:24

smoserfor that user i had already ran firefox, but then i did 'rm -Rf ~/.mozilla'17:27
SpamapSScottK: so I may have a tiny patch :)17:27
ScottKNice.17:27
ScottKFortunately it's Universe so we have a few days for a fix yet.17:28
LLStarksyeah, still no VT. it might be related to the fact that a recovery boot will never finish. it'll just halt after loading bluetooth and usb17:29
LLStarksor something like that17:29
SpamapSLLStarks: try 'nosplash' too17:29
LLStarksisn't nosplash inherent to recovery boot?17:30
LLStarkswhatever. brb again.17:30

SpamapSI am mostly fishing for something I'm familiar with outside of upstart.17:32
SpamapSbecause I don't know of anything in upstart that would cause vt's to go away... unless the getty's aren't starting for some reason17:32
cjwatsonrecovery mode options on the kernel command line automatically cause plymouth to go into details mode, much as LLStarks suggests17:33
cjwatson(src/main.c:plymouth_should_show_default_splash)17:33
SpamapSbut yeah I don't know *anything* about how recovery console is implemented. :-P17:33
LLStarksstill nothing with nosplash. i am running a custom plymouth, but also affects a fresh install.17:34
SpamapSLLStarks: did this just start today?17:39
LLStarksspamaps, no. this has been around since at least the start of the natty cycle.17:41

stgraberwell, not "break" but you'll loose your "console=ttyS0"22:10
stgraberunless it's grub's postinst that sets that value, in which case it'd be fine to add the md5sum to the whitelist22:11
smoserstgraber, no, its not grub that does it. the uec images build does it in post install modification.22:13
smoser:-(22:13
stgraberhmm, ok, then better not to whitelist that in grub and have the user see the diff. Or we'll get bug reports saying that they don't get their console output anymore (as grub would reset /etc/default/grub to a regular non-ec2 one)22:14
cjwatsonyeah, I hope to rearrange the nonsense that is that postinst after natty, but I really don't recommend trying to do it in a rush - the cure might well be worse than the disease22:14
smosercjwatson, yeah, please keep me in mind when you're doing that work.22:16
smoseri know its not ideal, but i make modifications to that file in the iamge build process.22:16
smoserthe changes beign made currently are because I want to see a grub prompt on boot.22:17
smoser-GRUB_TERMINAL=console22:17
smoser+#GRUB_TERMINAL=console22:17
smoser-#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true22:17
smoser+GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true22:17
infinitylamont: Err, kay, livecd.sh has a proc walk, but it very much isn't the one I wrote for lp-buildd.  It screen-scrapes ls output with grep.22:19
infinitylamont: No idea if it's working as intended and perhaps PPC is just hating you, or if it's actually broken...22:20
infinitylamont: Though, given that it's meant to loop infinitely if processes remain in the chroot, my gut is that it's perhaps not working at all. :P22:20
smoserstgraber, cjwatson i'm looking at diff shown to me by grub-pc right now, and it doesn't even show my console=ttyS0 change.22:22
infinitylamont: I'm going to test some things here, and if the livecd.sh implementation seems completely broken (and, honestly, parsing ls output pretty much always is, even when it isn't), I'll commit some sort of shiny fix.22:26
lamontinfinity: heh. thanks22:26
lamonthrm.. used to be that resizing  a window, I'd see lines/columns for the window... natty dropped that, and I want it back...22:49
Piciiirc, theres a compiz option that does that.22:51
stgrabercjwatson: for some reason I'm still getting the ucf prompt on upgrade even though my current md5sum matches the one that was added to the .md5sum ...23:21
stgraberon grub upgrade that's23:21
stgrabercjwatson: we apparently have an "old" md5sum in /var/lib/ucf/hashfile that's not in the .md5sum list (and I have no idea what that md5sum matches ...)23:42
