jrwrenanyone know how upstart works or where the docs are? becuase everything I find is absolutely poor.01:26
rick_h__jrwren: not really, I've got bookie running uwsgi processes via upstart01:27
rick_h__but it's just a sample config I grabbed and it worked01:27
rick_h__jrwren: http://paste.mitechie.com/show/481/01:27
jrwrenso....01:28
jrwrenwhere does upstart store it status ?01:28
jrwrenbecuase I say start... it doesn't bother to try to run start.01:28
jrwrenit thinks it is already started, because of some stored status.01:28
jrwrenno idea where that is stored.01:28
jrwrenits not like the old init.d days where start would check if it already started and then say it is already started01:29
rick_h__http://upstart.at/2011/02/01/process-less-jobs/01:31
rick_h__"It’s well known and documented that the usual way to define a daemon or long-running process with Upstart is to use the exec stanza, so that Upstart knows the pid of the daemon, can supervise it when used with the respawn process and can send appropriate signals to its process group to stop it again."01:31
rick_h__?01:31
jrwrenso exec and respawn aren't working for me then.01:32
jrwrenyeah, that is a great link if trying to wrap an rc.d style script.01:33
rick_h__jrwren: right, more meant that the first paragraph seems to imply it doesn't "store" state but monitors the pid of the exec'd command to tell if it's running/not01:33
jrwrenlet me start over. upstart isn't execing or respawning dbus. so I get no dbus on boot. How can I fix this?01:34
rick_h__second hand info and all that, but seems relevent to your original question01:34
jrwrenyes, that is how I understood it too.. from the docs and second hand info, but its not what i am observing :(01:34
rick_h__jrwren: so there's a dbus upstart script in the /etc/init directory?01:35
jrwrenyes01:36
jrwrendbus.conf01:36
jrwrenis it supposed to start the system debus01:36
jrwrenit doesn't :(01:36
rick_h__ok, so it's starting off a fake event it looks like.01:36
rick_h__so you'll have to chase that chain01:36
jrwrenwell, on "local-filesystem"01:37
jrwrenyou think that might not fire?01:37
rick_h__http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7033/101:37
jrwreninteresting idea.01:37
rick_h__jrwren: right, so that's fired from another upstart event/script01:37
rick_h__which might not be run, etc01:37
rick_h__so that's from mountall.conf01:37
jrwrenpretty sure that is happening.01:43
jrwrensure would help if console output actually worked!01:43
rick_h__heh01:44
rick_h__yea, sorry not sure. I've not had to chase any issues down there01:44
rick_h__the fact that it seemed based on some other event seemed interesting01:44
jrwrenbut the thing is.01:51
jrwrenif i stop dbus, then start it, it starts.01:51
jrwrenwhich REALLY makes me think upstart is storing state.01:51
jrwreneven if it claims that it doesn't.01:51
jrwreni'm pretty convinced it does.01:51
jrwrenit stores the state to know which events have happened to know what is running01:51
jrwrenthey try to hide it.01:52
jrwrenbut its a VERY leaky abstraction.01:52
jrwrenwhich initcl01:52
rick_h__jrwren: well let me know if you find out, I'm curious now01:55
snap-lGood evening01:55
jrwrenzomg, its a catch22!!!01:55
jjesseevening01:55
jrwreninitctl connects to dbus to ask for process's status!!!01:55
snap-ljust rolled back from MUG board meeting dinner01:55
jjessewas it a good dinner?01:56
jjessei think it is still snowing outside, giant flakes01:56
snap-lWent to Gauchos01:56
snap-lit was very good, but extremely filling01:56
snap-land not particularly vegan01:56
jrwrensince when are you vegan?01:56
snap-ljrwren: I'm macrobiotic lacto-vegan01:57
jrwrensince when?01:57
snap-lwho also eats meat.01:57
jjessea what?01:57
jrwrenpfff.. rofl01:57
jjessedoes macrobiotic mean you eat other vegans?01:57
snap-lI eat vegetarian when i want  to eat vegetarian01:58
snap-ljjesse: macrobiotic is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobiotic_diet01:58
jrwrenoh wow, that is how I eat at least 80% of the time.02:00
jrwreni had no idea.02:00
snap-ljrwren: You live in Ann Arbor. Everyone eats like that02:00
jrwrennot true at all.02:00
snap-lFuckin' McDonalds is whole wheat02:00
jrwrenmost AA types eat like shit as far as I can tell.02:00
jjessei think they kick you out of ann arbor if you don't :)02:01
jrwrenbut AA probably does have a higher percentage of folks like that.02:01
rick_h__morning11:57
Wolfgermorning12:40
WolfgerGeez, you got an early start today...12:40
rick_h__yea, gym day12:41
Wolfgerwoot, woot12:43
Wolfgergood for you12:43
Wolfgerone of these days I'll get motivated again :-p12:43
rick_h__yea, not as often as I want, but damn that 5am alarm is hard to handle12:45
WolfgerThe stupid, it burns.13:08
WolfgerJust looked at CNN headlines...13:09
Wolfger"Are you more likely to lie in a text?"13:09
Wolfger"Piers Morgan learns to 'Tebow'"13:09
Wolfger"Christmas with 'Octomom'"13:10
Wolfgersomebody needs to die13:10
rick_h__lol13:10
rick_h__there's your problem. You're looking at news sites13:10
rick_h__I may not know wtf is going on, but so much happier since I blocked out the news13:10
WolfgerYeah, I have definitely decided that "ignorance is bliss" is true far more often than false.13:18
ColonelPanic001Wolfger: I'm not happy enough for that to be true14:17
WolfgerColonelPanic001: Just think how much more miserable you'd be if you knew what was going on...14:20
ColonelPanic001probably true14:21
WolfgerGetting excited about xmas. Can't wait for my Kindle. Or for my wife to get her new laptop so I no longer hear her swearing at her old one...14:26
ColonelPanic001girlfriend gave me a Kindle Fire, and a couple days ago because she didn't want to wait. heh14:28
rick_h__ColonelPanic001: lol, you and snap-l with those early gift giving sig. others14:28
brouschi gave my wife her music gift early because she was moving a bunch of other music around14:30
ColonelPanic001My gf doesn't have hers yet because I don't plan nearly that far ahead.14:30
WolfgerColonelPanic001: How do you like the Fire? I've heard not-good things about it in the major media. Glad I decided to ask for a Touch.14:37
ColonelPanic001I may not be as picky as others.14:38
ColonelPanic001I've only used it a little so far14:38
snap-lGood morning14:38
ColonelPanic001but i have no major complaints yet14:38
rick_h__ColonelPanic001: software update out today I saw that should help some14:38
rick_h__snap-l: morning14:38
brouschColonelPanic001: you use kde. you are used to things not working exactly right ;)14:38
ColonelPanic001Shush, you. >:-|14:38
Wolfgerbrousch--14:43
rick_h__ouch14:43
rick_h__kde flamebait14:43
WolfgerUsing KDE means we're used to being able to make things do exactly what we want them to do. :-p14:43
Wolfger...just as soon as we find the right config option14:44
rick_h__psh, that's only true if you've commited a new config setting patch to a kde app14:44
rick_h__otherwise, you're just using it how others want you to :P14:44
brouschi'm getting bit by this damn bug http://askubuntu.com/questions/75657/struggles-to-connect-to-network-when-using-wpa-with-a-bcm4322514:46
brouschi had that on my main laptop with 11.04, part of the reason i dropped back to 10.04 then14:48
WolfgerThere doesn't seem to be any clear line of demarcation between what is a question for AskUbuntu and what is a bug for Launchpad...14:49
WolfgerWhich I think is a very bad thing.14:49
brouschwell the askubuntu links to more info, including the bug on launchpad14:53
krondorrick_h__:  did you get your nexus?16:08
rick_h__krondor: yep :)16:09
rick_h__few of us got one. Official android of the channel perhaps heh16:09
krondorno doubt, how is it?  No problems?16:09
rick_h__it's got some + and some -16:10
rick_h__picked up my dinc today and can't believe I lived on that screen16:10
rick_h__speed, browser, ICS is nice16:10
rick_h__battery, bottom headphone port yuck16:11
krondorthat's an odd choice16:11
rick_h__love the larger screen for email and google reader browsing16:11
rick_h__I really need the extended battery and a nice desk dock, but they're not really available16:11
rick_h__camera is a can of meh as well16:12
rick_h__it's very fast at taking blurry out of focus pictures so far16:12
krondorreally?  I've heard most of the reviews loving the camera (well at least the fast shutter)16:12
rick_h__so it seems if you just hit the camera button it doesn't focus first16:12
rick_h__so you have to click to focus, wait for that and then snap16:12
rick_h__but *any* hand movement and it's back to ugh16:13
rick_h__tried an hdr app that's nice for still things16:13
rick_h__pictures look much better, but needs three shots16:13
rick_h__so doesn't work for the boy on his birthday for instance16:13
rick_h__come out to CHC, you can play with it some if you want16:13
krondorkids don't seem to work with any phone camera in my experience, they just keep moving.16:13
rick_h__Blazeix: your camera experience any better?16:14
rick_h__yea, but that's a big use case for me I guess16:14
rick_h__hell, it's 99% use case for me and a camera phone16:14
krondorI can't tonight, Emily has her boards exam, I need to make it to the next one though.  I have some stuff I'm playing with and I can bring the hacked fire for show/tell16:14
rick_h__nice16:14
rick_h__but yea, overall liking the upgrade a lot16:14
krondorand the working gps ;)16:15
rick_h__wasn't sure on the larger phone, but browsing, youtube, email, much much niver16:15
rick_h__nicer*16:15
rick_h__lol, gps is good16:15
rick_h__one of those things I don't use much though, especially with the battery life16:15
krondorthat's because you need this still for daily gps; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w7TgFmP74I&feature=player_embedded16:19
krondorI guess the one vzw is selling is a cheap dock, the EU dock is awesome so people are importing it16:20
rick_h__the problem is that they don't use the touch contacts for the car mode16:20
rick_h__yea, the docks right now suck16:20
krondoryeah the one in the video has the contacts for car mode and usb/audio pass through16:20
rick_h__ooh, that one is nice. Plugs into the dock vs the phone16:20
rick_h__hmm, wonder if it'd fit the LTE version with an extended battery16:21
rick_h__still on pre-order *sigh*16:22
brouschbah, this is discouraging http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11401714&postcount=416:34
greg-gwhat? something from Ubuntu Forums is discouraging? Say it ain't so!16:41
ColonelPanic001anyone know why moonlight appears to have been in the repo for oneiric, and now it's gone?16:42

_stink_ColonelPanic001: also, maybe ask in #ubuntu-motu - from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/moonlight-plugin-mozilla it looks like that MOTU team officially maintained the natty package.16:50
rick_h__oh yay! http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/21/steve-jobs-memorial-statue-unveiled-in-budapest17:18
rick_h__jcastro: road trip!17:18
_stink_hah17:19
rick_h__krondor: oh yea, and the lack of a hardware "menu" button to hold down to show/hide the keyboard is driving me batty!17:20
jcastroI miss the dedicated search button17:22
jcastrowhy would they remove that17:22
rick_h__I didn't use that much I guess. I tend to go the to app I want vs search17:23
jcastrorick_h__: what'ts your issue with the battery and headphone jack?17:23
rick_h__jcastro: so battery is battery life. I can't make it a full day of use17:23
jcastrooh17:23
rick_h__plugging it in at the desk is a pain since the port is on the bottom17:23
jcastroLTE?17:23
rick_h__your phone is upside down on your desk17:23
rick_h__and it won't rotate upside down, only the other three directions17:23
jcastrooh17:23
rick_h__jcastro: yea, but it's been turned off since I got it home17:24
jcastroso you basically need the sideways thing17:24
rick_h__just seems I use it a lot17:24
jcastrowhich I need too17:24
rick_h__jcastro: yea, for my desk, but can't find them yet here state side17:24
jcastromy battery has been pretty amazing for an android17:24
jcastrowhich doesn't say much17:24
jcastrobut it's not that bad17:24
jcastroI can go a day easy17:24
rick_h__I had that double battery on my incredible17:24
jcastroahhh17:24
rick_h__forget thick, but I could beat on that thing with open irc all day17:24
jcastrothey make an official huge one for yours17:24
rick_h__yea, but it's only 250ma more, not 2x17:25
rick_h__and I can't find it yet17:25
jcastrooh lame17:25
rick_h__not on the verizon site and such17:25
jcastroI can't find the dock for mine either, I guess I'm waiting17:25
rick_h__yea, exactly17:25
jcastroI might have a coworker pick one up17:25
rick_h__but yea, the headphone port on the bottom means I end up flipping the thing around too much17:25
rick_h__plugged it into my desk speakers, upside down phone.17:25
jcastrooh I see17:26
jcastrois it your music player?17:26
rick_h__it's not *horrible* but it's a little off17:26
rick_h__yea, 100%17:26
jcastroyeah so I realized this17:26
jcastrobecause I want to do this with my transformer17:26
jcastrowe need an android app that can zeroconf17:26
jcastroso we can use the phone and stuff to do music17:27
jcastrobut it outputs to zeroconf to your PC17:27
rick_h__hmmm, maybe17:27
jcastrobasically pulseaudio output for android17:27
rick_h__airplay stuff?17:28
jcastrojust normal zeroconf17:28
jcastroyou can do it linux to linux easily17:28
jcastrofor like, the past 5 years at least17:28
jcastrowe used to do it at OU17:28
rick_h__gotcha, yea I don't use it much at all17:28
jcastroone PC with nice speakers, everyone else in the office just DJs and the music comes out of one place.17:28
rick_h__zeroconf IM/bzr hosting was really the extend17:28
jcastrousing their local players17:28
rick_h__yea, I just went cloud on my music and my phone is the master of it all17:29
rick_h__have a series of speakers around the house I plug into as aux input17:29
jcastroright17:29
rick_h__desk speakers, portable speakers, grace audio player upstairs, another radio in my workshop17:29
rick_h__jcastro: let me know if you get a dock.17:33
jcastroas soon as I can buy one17:33
rick_h__yea, just mean let me know when you find one you can get. I spent some time this weekend searching around for that and the extended battery with no luck17:34

rick_h__krondor: yea, definitely thought of that today17:39
krondordave and buster's!  wednesday is double play tokens right?  I think I'm going next week.17:39
rick_h__especially with the soft buttons, even better. They can rotate with me17:39
brouschsomeone here was asking for that audio server for android thing too17:52
brouschrick_h_: can't you make a dock in your workshop?17:53
brouschRick's Classy Wood Docks17:53
rick_h__brousch: :P17:53
brouschwhat? i'm serious17:53
krondorbrousch++ that17:55
greg-gI smell a loco-wide christmas present idea!!17:56
greg-g"You get a.... Rick's Classy Wood Dock! And you! And you! And you! And you!"17:56
brouschdoes the detroit hackerspace have those 3D printer things?17:56
greg-gI would sure hope so17:56
greg-gif they didn't, they must return their hackerspace name17:57
brouschi don't think the geek group has them17:57
brouschthey have really big lathes and such17:57
rick_h__yea, they're pricey17:57
brouschrep-rap17:58
rick_h__vim :TOhtml ftw!17:59
greg-gthe rep rap is pricey? Only if you buy it pre-made!17:59
krondorbrousch:  i3Detroit has a makerbot and I think a rep-rap too18:04
brouschwell start pumping out the nexus docks and sell them!18:05
krondorwhether both are functional lol is always the question18:05
greg-ghaha18:05
brouschbut if they break, you just print up a replacement part18:11
brouschwait a minute, if the printer is broken you can't print a replacement part18:11
rick_h__a nice walnut dock would be sweet, but I like the idea of the dock with the built in audio/charge pass through like that car dock krondor linked18:11
brouschglue in some cables18:12
brouschrick_h__: what cloud are using for music?18:22
rick_h__brousch: amazon18:23
rick_h__that and pandora18:23
rick_h__since things like roku/grace audio player support my pandora stations18:23
brouschamazon cloud player via a web browser?18:24
brouschgoogle music has been annoying me by not syncing all my .flac18:26
rick_h__brousch: I do some, but often via my phone18:26
rick_h__the other thing I do a ton of is audible listening and can't do that on anything but my phone since there's no audible client for linux18:27
rick_h__and it doesn't whispersync so don't want to listen in mulitple places anyway18:27
brouschi can't do audiobooks. i have too manypodcasts already18:28
rick_h__I dropped podcasts, only a couple a week18:28
rick_h__but I've been doing 3-5 books a month this year18:28
rick_h__39 books going back to last Nov it looks like18:29
brouschall of the python/django podcasts died18:29
rick_h__but 4 of those are kids books I got recently18:29
rick_h__yea, I thought I saw an episode of the new python one last month18:29
brouschthere was one episode of a new one, but it hasn't done anything else18:30
brouschhad interviews with guido and the gang18:30
rick_h__yea, thought they had 3 or 4 episodes18:31
rick_h__but the audio book stuff is 90% *fun*18:32
brouschpython is fun!18:32
rick_h__I got to where I read technicaly stuff on the kindle and moved all the fiction to audio18:32
rick_h__works nice since I can do audio books while cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, etc18:32
brouschthat's like 10 minutes18:33
brouschamazon cloud drive rejected my flac18:33
rick_h__meh, commute time, cleaning time, shower time (via speaker), workout time.18:33
rick_h__like I said, I manage to find 10ish hours a week i'd guess18:34
rick_h__brousch: yea, not sure if it supports that18:34
brouschlooks like it took the second one18:36
brouschis there a file size limit?18:37
rick_h__no idea, I've only uploaded a few albums of mp318:37
rick_h__mostly I just buy stuff/stream from them18:37
krondorbrousch:  I noticed that about google music, any idea why it seems to like some flac and not others?18:53
brouschi think i found an answer a while ago but forgot it18:54
krondorI hear ubuntuone is quite slick on android, but I'm cheap and haven't paid yet.18:55
rick_h__yea, I keep meaning to give it a shot18:57
rick_h__but I'm awful at getting something working and then holding still18:57
brousch$4/mo is hard to justify when google music is free19:02
brouschand amazon is < $2/mo19:02
rick_h__yea, now that they have streaming of songs I need to see if it can replace pandora for me19:03
rick_h__if so, then that saves me a couple of $ a mon19:03
brouschamazon streaming or u1?19:06
rick_h__U119:08
rick_h__snap-l: http://glyphobet.net/store/dice/ last minute stocking stuffers19:09
brouschmy problems would probably go away if i'd re-encode my flac to mp319:12
krondorbut that sucks, you have songs twice or you have lower quality.19:14
krondorI wonder if the uploaders for these services would work fine against mp3fs on fuse19:15
brouschamazon took my flac uploads, but doesn't see them as music19:34
brouschgoogle music refuses to upload about 5% of my flac19:35
brouschmaybe u1 is worth $4/mo19:37
brouschfail19:41
brouschsubmit credit card ->  Internal Server Error19:42
krondordamnit now I'm all curious so I know what I'm doing when I'm home.. testing flac/sync19:42
brouschkrondor: it seems random. it misses files on the same album, which means they were generated with the same settings and tags19:43
brouschok, credit card worked the second time. if i get billed twice rick_h_ gets his legs broken because he's my closest canonical rep19:47
Wolfger*sigh*  Two years, and this is not yet done... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21795019:49
rick_h__oh lovely, glad to be of assistance brousch19:52
brouschdoesn't it feel good to be working for the man?19:53
rick_h__heh, definitely19:53
WolfgerOh, right, rick_h__ works for Canonical now. Somebody else I can bitch to about Kubuntu being a blue-headed step-child. :-)19:55
brouschwait the streaming plan is separate from the music plan?19:56
brouschoh wait, now it showed up19:57
brouschand now i experience ubuntuone's legendary upload speed20:02
Wolfgerheh20:04
brouschthis could use some updating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/MusicStore20:07
brouschhmmmm https://one.ubuntu.com/help/faq/what-audio-formats-are-supported/20:12
brouschmp3 aac and ogg20:12
brouschso syncing my flac is futile20:12
brouschso are all of these services fail or am i unreasonable?20:13
krondorso Google Music is the only service that actually will sync flac?  Just not well.20:31
brouschright20:31
brouschi give up20:31
krondoryou'd think U1 would flac being an open codec20:32
brouschre-encoding my flac to 320kbps mp320:32
brouschamazon is the least useful since it doesn't sync files20:38
brouschgoogle syncs for free20:38
brouschu1 streams at the bitrate of your files, google adjusts based on your internet speed20:40
brouschgoogle's approach makes more sense to me20:41
brouschi should blog this20:49
greg-gbrousch: "Thinking about getting that special geek of yours a subscription to a music streaming service, PLZ READ THIS FIRST!"20:57
