[00:47] infinity, micahg: so I suppose these tzdata packages are built now and ought to be published; are we doing any verification on them? [01:18] slangasek: I did a quick test to make sure things looked sane. [01:18] slangasek: Not on every release, but they were all identical changes. [01:41] infinity: ok, copying [01:44] infinity, micahg: tzdata published [04:00] Good time everyone! [04:01] Can i get some help with this error http://mysticpaste.com/view/10459 - Patching xorg on 11.10 works fine on 11.04 [04:02] !help [04:02] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:02] !patience [04:02] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:35] net probe. anyhelp with http://mysticpaste.com/view/10459 ? [04:42] well, the patch just needs to be adjusted to apply against the new source; that's normal for patches [04:44] oh, but you're building the xorg source package? that's odd, xorg didn't fail to build from source in 11.10. perhaps a more complete transcript of what you're doing would help. [04:45] (including how you got the source package.) [04:46] cjwatson, here is what I am doing http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2011/05/24/better-clickpad-support-for-ubuntu-11-04/ [04:48] I don't want to pick through that - please show me a full transcript of just exactly what you are doing [04:48] from the start including error messages [04:49] oh, you're adding a patch to the source package, from the looks of that [04:49] then my previous comment stands, this isn't a procedure that can be performed for an arbitrary release without editing the patch [04:51] if you don't know how to do that, then it's best to ask the patch author [04:52] I am not an expert but know a bit of programming and how stuff works under the hood. [04:52] but I am not sure what that error suggests, I know there is something wrong with a config file but not sure what to look for. [04:54] no, the problem is that this is a patch for a different version of the software [04:54] it requires a developer to update it [04:54] aight then, thanks for help. [04:54] (I had a quick look, and while the fix to 203 is simple, there are several other changes required to subsequent patches as well) [04:56] (and I'm not remotely confident that me doing a monkey-see-monkey-do patch refresh is going to result in a working synaptics driver) [04:57] you can learn how patches work if you like and try to update it yourself; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff#Unified_format [04:58] thanks cjwatson I will have a look. [12:39] A virtual keyboard at the LightDM greeter would improve accessability, is anyone working on this for Ubuntu? [14:59] hello all [14:59] i am interested in writing system restore program for ubuntu [14:59] this will be able to restore the package state [15:00] of the system to an earlier saved state [15:03] for that I need to scan package metadata of those packages which are installed on the system [15:03] could you please help me in doing that ? [16:54] gs_: you want the APT/Dpkg metadata [16:55] gs_: dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections should get you started [17:03] gs_: you may also want to look at apt-btrfs-snapshot [17:38] or apt-clone (not the one in the repository) [17:47] hi everyone [17:47] I've just dropped by to say thanks [17:47] Thank you so much for providing ubuntu-core archives, guys! [17:48] that makes my life so much easier! === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
