ok2cqrHello,06:33
ok2cqrdoes anyone know how long does it take to delete files from my personal ppa after request, please?06:34
ok2cqrI did it about 10 hours ago and still getting error that files already exist06:34
soaringskyok2cqr: you can try to delete them again. in my experience things get deleted quickly06:35
ok2cqrsoaringsky: I don't see them in the package list06:36
ok2cqrbut if i want to copy the same package from  other ppa, I get error that it already exists :-(06:36
soaringskyok2cqr: strange. try asking in #launchpad06:36
ok2cqrI'll try, thank you06:37
lifelesspitti: btw, fixed the setuid() problem I was having10:17
lifelesspitti: added allow_other to the fuse mount rule10:17
lifelesspitti: so yeah, setuid seems to error when the cwd isn't accessible by the process10:18
lifelesspitti: mmm, spoke too soon :(10:26
directhexwhat do you call the opposite of a regression, where a totally unrelated fix seems to resolve a problem you're having?10:30
lifelessserendipity10:30
directhexof course, it's hard to +1 a fix in -proposed where you can't repro (and don't care about) the bug it fixes, but it seems to help an unrelated issue10:31
lifelesspitti: otoh I've gone to the simple chroot/setgid/setuid now and it works where it wasn't before, so I think allow_other is what I'm going to write it up as.10:33

zaytsevhi guys, i'm looking at the source code for usb-creator15:25
zaytsevis it possible to remove the filter that makes it show only the usb devices15:25
zaytsevi want to create an image from inside a virtual machine on a virtual sata drive15:25
zaytsevit is not shown however, because it's not an usb device15:26
penguin42zaytsev: Just apt-get source the package15:26
zaytsevpenguin42: right, so i did, but where is the trick? i'm looked at the backed code, but didn't find it. now trying to understand how the gtk frontend is working15:27
penguin42zaytsev: Hey I don't know - not looked at it15:28
cjwatson--show-all15:28
cjwatsonzaytsev: ^- IIRC15:29
cjwatsonor possibly --allow-system-internal, one of those15:29
zaytsevcjwatson: you are too awesome!!! thanks again, this is exactly what i wanted. now i can also see the filtering in _add_partition...15:32

pittilifeless: interesting, I didn't know that setuid() would check the directory; but I guess it makes sense, otherwise the user could see a potentially inaccessible dir15:59

melodiehi18:59
melodieI have finished my first package, with openbox-menu in it, and registered to 2 places where I will try to find devs likely to be interested in openbox and dynamic menus generation. (the mentors ml and a place where I registered as maintainer for this package). if someone here is interested to try the package I can provide a link to the build dir tarball.19:01
melodieis there someone here who likes Openbox as a standalone destkop ?19:04

sconklinslangasek: seen this? http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/19:28
slangaseksconklin: no - whee19:29
slangasekthat looks... safe? :)19:29
slangasekxnox: ^^19:29
broderdefinitely not the word i would have chosen :-P19:29
xnoxslangasek: noted19:29
slangasekxnox: what do you think of the idea of using it?  I guess it would provide only incremental benefit over ureadahead19:30
micahgsounds like the rat might steal the cheese and hide it in the wall19:30
xnoxslangasek: do we have usecases where ureadahead does not work / not supported. need to read up on it.19:31
slangasekand ureadahead is a bit quicker...19:31
slangasekxnox: not AFAIK19:31
slangasekwell, there are certain corner cases where the ureadahead pack isn't available early enough to do any good19:31
slangasekbut that's not a case to cater for19:31
xnoxslangasek: I want to know how they choose what to reallocate where and how different their logic is to the ureadahead19:32
* slangasek nods19:33
* xnox the typicall FLOSS question: ditch, switch or steal features19:33
cndpitti, skaet, slangasek: on bug 968845 there is an xserver-xorg-input-synaptics task that is fix released in quantal19:37

cndthere is no precise series task19:37
cndwhen I try to nominate, precise isn't available19:37
cndany ideas what's going on?19:38
micahgcnd: are you in the ubuntu task context?19:38
cndmicahg, yes19:39
cndI worry that in the p->q transition something got messed up19:39
cndlike there was a p series task19:39
cndand it's magically disappeared19:39
slangasekcnd: yes - not magically, someone must've clicked the button to remove it19:40
slangasekyou're needing to SRU this package for the bug?19:40
cndyes19:40
* slangasek tries something19:40
slangasekcnd: I've deleted the other 'p' task, which has only made things worse19:40
slangasekI was hoping it would make 'p' available again for targeting... it did not19:40
slangasekcnd: escalate to Launchpad, please; this is basically an LP regression introduced by the added support for deleting bug tasks19:41
cndslangasek, ok19:41
cndthanks19:41
infinityOh, that's a special behaviour...19:42
