[01:59] <bejames> Hi brains trust. Is there a command that allows you to monitor file system access? 
[02:59] <kaushal> Hi
[02:59] <kaushal> can someone please suggest me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-November/254345.html ?
[03:02] <head_victim> kaushal: you just posted a link to someone responding to your question that you never answered the questions asked of.
[03:02] <head_victim> bejames: I have NO idea :)
[03:02] <kaushal> head_victim: yeah 
[03:02] <kaushal> I have no idea about strace 
[03:04] <kaushal> head_victim: I am unable to kill dpkg process
[03:04] <kaushal> and also i cannot reboot the box
[03:04] <kaushal> Any way out ?
[03:05] <head_victim> So I would respond to that email  with answers to "are you trying to kill as root", "are you using NFS on the server" "are you using fuse based filesystem" "is there anything weird in dmesg" and if you still can't find the cause ask the person who responed about strace.
[03:08] <kaushal> head_victim: anyways thanks
[03:09]  * kaushal feels i am not getting help here
[03:09] <bejames> kaushal, is there any particular reason you are posting to the Australian loco channel?
[03:10] <head_victim> kaushal: there are around 4500 users on the mailing list you emailed. There are 26 people in here. I don't know the answer to your question so I felt pointing you in the right direction was the best idea.
[03:10] <kaushal> bejames: yeah
[03:10] <kaushal> bejames: folks here are pretty knowledable and sound
[03:11] <kaushal> I tried #ubuntu but no luck there
[03:11] <kaushal> head_victim: you said 4500 users ?
[03:11] <kaushal> is there a way i can see the count ?
[03:11] <head_victim> Yes, the ubuntu-users mailing list has around 4500 users.
[03:12] <head_victim> I don't think so. I moderate the list that's how I know. It has been mentioned on the list before though so that's where I'm getting the information.
[03:12] <kaushal> so only moderators can see the count ?
[03:13] <kaushal> head_victim: also can you please guide me about strace ?
[03:13] <kaushal> based on the reply on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-November/254345.html
[03:16] <head_victim> I haven't used that in quite some time, that's why I pointed you back to the list because I didn't think I'd be very much use in this question
[03:19] <kaushal> head_victim: ok
[03:23] <head_victim> sagaci: I went looking for the ubuntu Vancouver stuff you mentioned but couldn't find anything. 
[03:25] <head_victim> http://spreadubuntu.org/files/installfest.jpg is the best I found that we could customise though
[03:25] <head_victim> http://spreadubuntu.org/files/UbuntuPromotionalPoster.png is one we can have on the day
[03:28] <sagaci> I was thinking towards just on the day posters
[03:28] <sagaci> the latter one, for example
[03:28] <head_victim> Ah yeah I also have all the ones from LCA
[03:29] <head_victim> The main thing I'm working towards now is one to put out around the place ASAP to get people thinking about ocming.
[03:33] <sagaci> I think you'll be better off to put some tagline like, "Install alongside Windows"
[03:35] <head_victim> How hard is it these days to resize windows partitions?
[03:37] <sagaci> trivial
[03:38] <head_victim> Just checking, does it work straight from the installer or do you have to livecd boot, resize, then install?
[03:38] <head_victim> I haven't run windows since XP
[03:39] <sagaci> straight from the installer
[03:39] <head_victim> Sweet, that sounds pretty good.
[03:39] <sagaci> if they're running vista or 7, I find it better to shrink from within windows then just manually partition, using the free space as swap and /
[03:41] <head_victim> And realistically, 20gb is all you really need to "play"
[03:42] <sagaci> yep, all my dualboots have 40GB dedicated
[03:42] <sagaci> out of 500GB drives
[03:48] <sagaci> are you going to take lubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu?
[03:50] <head_victim> Yeah that's the goal
[03:50] <head_victim> Just take it all and see what people wanty
[03:55] <head_victim> If someone brought in a pre vista laptop and wanted to dual boot can you still resize or only if it's vista+
[03:56] <sagaci> yeah you can resize but it's just not available through windows, you'll have to do it via the installer
[04:00] <head_victim>  Cool, just playing with that svg now
[04:14] <sagaci> head_victim: uploading youtube vids now
[04:14] <head_victim> Nice work. Let me know when it's done and I'll tweed/dent it as well
[04:20] <sagaci> doneskies
[04:39] <head_victim> Anyone have 2 seconds to tell me if it's worth keeping going on a poster? 
[04:39] <head_victim> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/LocalMeetings/BrisbaneInstallfest?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=BrisbaneInstallFestPoster1.png
[04:40] <head_victim> bejames: just trying to do something up we can start promoting with
[04:40] <head_victim> Don't be too harsh, I know very little about graphic design :/
[04:50] <head_victim> sagaci: dented/tweeted - feel free to post to the ML :)
[04:50] <sagaci> ok
[05:09] <somethinginteres> head_victim: hey head_victim just checked out the new YT channel. Good start! Though for me, part 5 of the first tutorial is simply a green screen. May have to re-upload? 
[05:14] <head_victim> somethinginteres: I'll look into it
[05:15] <head_victim> Oh speak of the devil, sagaci the part 5 is just a green screen on that yourtube channel
[05:16] <sagaci> i'll try to reupload
[05:16] <sagaci> is it only pt 5
[05:17] <head_victim> Yeah I've just checked the others and they seem fine for the bits I've watched
[05:17] <sagaci> i'll reupload pt 5
[05:19] <head_victim> somethinginteres: thanks for the pickup :)
[05:22] <somethinginteres> head_victim: no worries. I also found out the other day that it is possible to re-order  youtube playlists. May be helpful for having the videos appear in order. So happy when I found it. :P See: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=94507
[05:23] <head_victim> I'll keep that link filed away :)
[05:25] <sagaci> just reuploading now
[05:37] <sagaci> head_victim: http://youtu.be/Pu5_6YUeOLc
[05:37] <sagaci> looks ok
[05:37] <head_victim> Yep that one works, it still has the green preview screen but once you start playing it's great
[05:38] <sagaci> yeah
[05:38] <sagaci> must be something to do with gtk-recordmydesktop
[11:29] <sagaci_> a quick google has fixed the bzr+ssh thing benonsoftware ran into... I'm setting up a bzr on cygwin myself and ran into it... just need to `set BZR_SSH=paramiko`
