IdleOneoulu is a familiar nick14:51
Myrttiit's a city in Finland, probably where this person is from14:53
Myrttijudging from IP address14:53
IdleOneyeah, I meant more like the nick brings to mind bad feeling14:53
PiciIdleOne: you don't like Finland?14:53
MyrttiI've not seen it before14:53
IdleOnePici: I have no dislike for any country. I also would like to visit finland at some point soon14:54
PiciIdleOne: I'm just joking :)14:54
bazhanghelsinki is awesome14:54
IdleOnePici: ino, me too :P14:54
IdleOneI read a friend is going to be moving there soon14:55
IdleOneWe has logs for the UDS IRC session yesterday. I would like to see what horrible decisions were taken :)14:57
IdleOne?14:57
oCeanhttp://ubottu.com/uds-logs15:02
tsimpsonalso on irclogs.ubuntu.com15:02
tsimpsonand audio on audio.ubuntu.com :)15:02
IdleOneit is a little confusing not having the audio and the text in sync15:06
tsimpsonIdleOne: well, that very discussion takes place near the end of the session15:13
IdleOnetsimpson: sorry, which discussion?15:16
tsimpsonabout a better way to have all these things tied together15:17
IdleOneah.15:17
tsimpsonrather than having IRC + audio stream + pad, having it all in one place15:17
IdleOnethat would be good. What about for replay after the fact though, would there be a way to listen/view the audio and text in sync?15:18
tsimpsonI guess it would be possible, just probably non-trivial to implement15:19
tsimpsonbut AlanBell is the one to ask about that15:19
AlanBellI am?15:20
IdleOneyou are now!15:20
tsimpsonwhat's it called.. ether light?15:20
IdleOneyou have been voluntold15:20
AlanBellyay15:20
AlanBelletherpad-lite15:20
tsimpsonthat one, yeah :)15:20
IdleOnebasically we would need a video of the chat and etherpad with the audio track15:21
AlanBellaudio and pad playback in sync, interesting idea15:21
AlanBellyeah, could be done15:22
IdleOneget on it!15:22
tsimpsonI could see (in vague terms) that it could be possible, with HTML5 + JS one could connect the timing of the audio with timings of chat+edits15:22
AlanBellpatches welcome15:22
tsimpsonbut, I'd not like to be the one to implement it15:22
AlanBellyou don't need to connect the timings, just start at the same time and play in real time15:22
IdleOneAlanBell: I think canonical should get on the ball with this :)15:22
tsimpsonAlanBell: well, I was also thinking about seeking15:23
AlanBellas long as you don't pause one of them15:23
AlanBellah, seeking might be a challenge15:23
tsimpsonmeh, let's just write a flash applet :P15:23
AlanBell\o/15:23
IdleOnehaha15:23
Piciflash :(15:23
IdleOneI'll be back before this banana hits the ground. ZOOOOM ZOOOOM ZOOOOOOOOOM.15:24
AlanBellaudio.ubuntu.com is looking good this time15:24
IdleOneirc session is the 17:00 one right?15:25
AlanBelldoesn't seem to be15:27
AlanBellhttp://audio.ubuntu.com/quantal/grand-ballroom-f/2012-05-10/11/grand-ballroom-f_2012-05-10_110001.ogg15:30
AlanBellthere is a more detailed "etherpad-lite / OMG they are turning off IRC!!!/o\" session at 17:00 today, which is um, probably 01:00 UTC15:34
tsimpsonshould be 00:00 UTC15:36
tsimpsonDST needs to go away, too much confusion in my head15:38
bazhangtroll detected15:44
bazhang"sweetie"15:44
Piciyeah15:44
PiciGlad they're leaving.15:44
AlanBellthanks tsimpson15:45
AlanBellnot at 17:00 it is at 16:1516:57
jpdshttp://is.gd/z9dg3z17:29
jpdsThis explains a lot.17:29
IdleOnejpds: WTF!!!17:31
jpdsIdleOne: LOL: http://is.gd/ScjvI917:33
Piciwow17:37
IdleOnethat is not surprising though, many people are not very internet lingo savvy and use lol or wtf wrong17:38
IdleOneespecially them old folks, like 40 year olds. that is old right?17:38
IdleOneby the way jpds I had no idea you felt this way. LOL to you too.17:39
jpdsIdleOne: That was LOL haha.17:42
FlannelAlanBell: It's not "zomg theyre turning off IRC" it's "Why not integrate with IRC instead of supplanting it--that way people can still choose to use IRC if they desire"17:49
PiciWhats happening?17:50
FlannelPici: I'm just replying to something from the scrollback17:51
AlanBellFlannel: yes, something like that18:57
AlanBellbut we need people to make that happen, nobody has committed to putting in the effort on that task as yet18:57
FlannelAlanBell: of course, but it's a community-wide thing.  I'm not sure when the IRC Team became the guardians of UDS infrastructure; if we volunteered for it, I must've been absent that day.19:35
IdleOneagreed.19:39
AlanBellFlannel: well it is more me than the team19:40
AlanBellI presented etherpad 2 years ago at UDS for integration in summit and I wrote the meeting page bit of summit with the embedded pad19:41
ubottuIn ubottu, guntbert said: !automate =~ /cloning/clone/          --- the reference should point to the "original" factoid and not to the alias, I think19:47
FlannelAlanBell: Do you think etherpad development would've been better served with a separate meeting then?  Instead of trying to squeeze it into an IRC team meeting, give it its own title so interested parties can become involved.  As far as I can see, it wasn't even mentioned in the description of the IRC meetings.19:48
guntbertHi hardworking ops  --  I'm still worrying about !clone. As aptitude is reported to not play nice with multiarch systems there seems to be a danger of damaging the "new" system. (but I have no idea at all how to accomplish the same without aptitude...)19:51
IdleOnethought pici added some info19:52
IdleOne!clone19:52
ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate19:52
IdleOne!cloning19:52
guntbert!-cloning19:53
ubottucloning is <alias> clone - added by LjL on 2006-11-22 23:45:30 - last edited by LjL on 2008-11-23 17:58:1619:53
Flannelguntbert: What is a multiarch system?  I know what those words mean, but am not familiar with that term19:53
IdleOne!automate19:53
ubottuWays to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning19:53
IdleOneFlannel: install ia32libs to 64 bit so you can install xchat-common:i38619:54
guntbertFlannel: as far as I understood ubuntu has done away with the 32bit/64bit separation, and therefore many packages are now suitable for both19:54
IdleOneso you can prefer 32bit app if you so chose19:54
IdleOneaiui19:55
FlannelThat sounds like a horrible mess!19:55
genii-aroundDoes the old way of dpkg --get-selections > file     .. dpkg --set-selections < file and then apt-get -u dselect-upgrade   still work?19:56
IdleOnegenii-around: should19:56
Pici!aptitude19:57
ubottuaptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information.19:57
FlannelIdleOne: will that have the same 32/64 problem?19:57
IdleOneFlannel: really don't know19:57
FlannelI'd rather stick with something with known problems instead of going to something with unknown problems :)19:58
Flannelsince, as far as I know, the dpkg thing will still have the original issue of "now it thinks I explicitly want ALL these packages" instead of knowing what it brought in as a dependency, etc.19:58
IdleOnethe devil you know...19:58
jussidoesnt the SW center now have some method of doing it?19:59
IdleOneit does19:59
IdleOneso did synaptic19:59
jussiso why dont we just describe that?19:59
jussi(for the clone factoid)19:59
IdleOnewell, we should. cli purist will complain about the lack of cli command in the factoid20:00
FlannelIs that going to have the same multiarch problem?20:00
IdleOnethat might be a good thing though if it is causing problems20:00
Flannel(also, it sounds like this needs to become a factoid pointing to a wiki page)20:00
IdleOneguntbert: you want to get on figuring the best way of doing this and editing the factoid?20:01
Flannelsince it looks like we're going to wind up with multiple solutions, each of them imperfect in their own special way20:01
IdleOneor the best ways (plural)20:01
guntbertIdleOne: not really to be honest, my ability with apt & co is still, well very low20:02
IdleOneguntbert: can you provide the GUI way in Unity, or make a wiki page with screenshots?20:02
* IdleOne is not running Unity20:03
IdleOnehow hard is it to remember what apps you installed!20:04
Tm_Tour guides should not use aptitude, but apt-get20:04
guntbertIdleOne: until now I didn't even know that there is a GUI way... -ah unity - I have it used just for a week after 11.1020:04
FlannelFor the time being, lets add a warning to the factoid.  That way there's some sort of information about the potential for problems.20:04
Tm_T(if commandline tool is needed, that is)20:04
IdleOneFlannel: agreed.20:04
Tm_TFlannel: I would rather have it containing apt-get instead of aptitude20:04
IdleOnewho has apt-fu to translate the aptitude command?20:05
FlannelTm_T: well, dpkg had the "removes information" problem, so aptitude became the preferred method for this, because it worked.20:05
Flannelthere is no apt-get command, it's dpkg.20:05
Tm_T dpkg --get-selections > file     .. dpkg --set-selections < file and then apt-get -u dselect-upgrade20:05
guntbertIdleOne: apt-get has no "search" command20:05
Tm_Tah, yes20:05
IdleOnehmm20:05
Tm_Tbut anyway20:05
IdleOneback to providing a warning I guess20:06
* Tm_T doesn't like unsupported package management tools20:06
Tm_Tand I consider aptitude unsupported currently20:06
Flannelaptitude isn't unsupported, it's just not installed by default.20:06
jussiguntbert: apt-cache search20:07
Tm_Tjussi: doesn't search by package state I think20:08
Tm_Tgotta get some sleep, so good night (:20:08
IdleOnenight Tm_T, sleep well20:08
jussiyeah, Im thinking similar. nini.20:08
IdleOnegood night jussi20:08
guntbertapparently I cannot contribute to this discussion in a constructive way after igniting it - so I'll be on my way  :-)  have a nice time (and please edit !automate to point to !clone instead of !cloning)20:09
guntbertg'night20:09
Flannel!clone20:10
ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate20:10
FlannelWe still need to resolve it, but as a temporary warning....20:11
AlanBellFlannel: the etherpad thing does have a separate meeting, at 16:15 local time today. I also mentioned it at the end of the IRC meeting, and in more detail in the community round table and in quite a lot of other places20:13
AlanBellI didn't dedicate much time to it in the IRC team meeting, I think we talked about it in the 3 minute countdown20:13
AlanBellso that is 3 hours from now20:14
FlannelAlanBell: Ah yes, so it does.  I just heard you talking about it in the meeting yesterday, and apparently can't use my eyeballs.  I thought you were referring to the IRC meeting this morning.20:14
AlanBellno, the "IRC workshops" one today was about openweek and developer week20:15
ubottuIn #xubuntu, hebas said: ubottu ok gpaint will be optional but this soffware is in the repos of xubuntu precise20:52
