philipballewIf I need to upgrade from lucid to precise but my dnysns package i use to stay connected "noip2" was taken out of the ubuntu repos, will I loose connection to my server?01:37
DonkeyHoteiuse a different one01:38
DonkeyHoteiquite a few support noip01:39
* philipballew looks for another free one.01:39
philipballewapt-cache search should do the trick01:39
philipballewthen again. sooner or later att is going to get mad that i have an email server running there01:42
DonkeyHoteiin sd?01:43
philipballewits currently stashed in Auburn. Me and a friend have a cluster together01:44
philipballewatt up here are really annoying01:44
DonkeyHoteiget cal.net instead01:44
philipballewnever herd of it01:45
philipballewmight be better01:45
DonkeyHoteithey're a woodland-based reseller of sonic.net's fusion service, iirc01:46
philipballewhum. seems good.01:46
DonkeyHoteialso look into "sacramento fusion"01:46
* philipballew looks inti these01:48
akkWe're trying out a colo from prgmr.com -- seems pretty good so far.01:50
akker, not a colo, a virtual host01:50
DonkeyHoteiprgmr has both01:51
DonkeyHoteii think01:51
akkI think that's right -- the colos are here in silicon valley, I think, the vhosts are in Merced or Tracy or somewhere like that.01:52
DonkeyHoteiwow, he's REALLY branched out01:52
scientesI have been trying to generate a WoT of the debian-maintainers.gpg02:36
scientesits kinda resousive02:36
akkAny ppa packaging experts around? I've made a deb/dsc package but I'm having trouble finding docs on how to publish it to a PPA.02:54
akkLaunchpad says to use dput <ppa-name> <source.changes> but it doesn't explain what <source.changes> should be.02:57
scientesakk, you could try open build service02:59
akkWhat's that?02:59
scientessomething similar to PPAs02:59
* scientes has never used it03:00
akkWhy would I want to use that rather than a PPA?03:00
philipballewppa's are more distributable03:00
scientesblewwwwwww03:00
scientesppa's are only against ubuntu03:00
philipballeweveryone from akk to your linux noob can install a ppa03:01
scientesOBS is against rhel, fedora, suse, debian, and ubuntu03:01
akkThis is just a python script, and I'm trying to figure out how to make it easy for people to install it.03:01
akkIt's not like it actually needs to be built.03:01
scientesoh, then just tarball it up03:01
philipballewakk, did you already push it via bzr?03:01
akkIt's not in bzr, it's on github.03:01
akkDoes something have to have a bzr mirror of the real repository to be packaged as a PPA?03:03
philipballewah03:03
akkThis particular package might actually have a bzr mirror, but I have several other scripts that definitely don't.03:03
akkI'm finding it hard to coordinate google code and github mirrors already, so I hate to add a third if I don't absolutely have to.03:04
philipballewI Ive herd this link has helped a few http://askubuntu.com/questions/28562/how-do-i-create-a-ppa-for-a-working-program03:04
akk"Use dput to upload these files to Launchpad" -- I wonder what "these files" means?03:06
philipballewsometimes people dont realize they need to be as clear as possible when answering questions03:07
philipballewLaunchpad has a irc channel I think03:07
philipballewiirc they do03:08
akkIf it matters, I used python-stdeb to create the package, not debuild directly.03:08
akkI got fired up at UDS because it sounded like they were trying to make the packaging/uploading process easier for developers03:08
akkbut I'm not really finding the docs any easier to follow than they were a year or two ago.03:09
philipballewmaybe their making them easier here in the Q cycle03:10
akkThey did say in the Q cycle there's supposed to be an app (pkgme, maybe?) that does it all with one command.03:11
philipballewid like that03:11
akkMaybe the thing to do is wait another six months before trying to package anything. :/03:11
philipballewid ask on #launchpad03:13
philipballewthey would know there for sure, but thats just my two cents03:13
akk#launchpad has in the topic: for ubuntu packaging help join #ubuntu-packaging, so I'll try that.03:14
philipballewhum, seems even better. There are so many channels with ubuntu, its crazy03:14
akkyeah03:14
akkbut that's better than one big channel (*cough* #ubuntu *cough*) where stuff flies by too fast for anyone to answer.03:15
philipballewthere are better channels for help anyway then there, unless you are really knew to ubuntu03:16
akkWhat channels are good for help?03:16
philipballew#ubuntu-beginners #ubuntu-1 will be where any help for a dev release is. #ubuntu-motu has people who can help with packaging as its for people who are ubuntu maintainers. I usually ask askubuntu if noone answeres on irc within a hour03:19
philipballewsometimes on an evening like that maybe not everyone is around03:19
philipballewI have to go run a few errands now.03:21
philipballewtake care03:21
akkthx, have fun!03:21
DonkeyHoteiakk: the .changes file is generated by dpkg-buildpackage03:56
akkOh! Cool, it did generate a .changes file in deb_dist/03:58
DonkeyHoteisorry i was afk right when you needed that03:59
akkOh, but the .changes it made isn't signed ... maybe I need to run stdeb with different arguments somehow to get it to sign it.04:00
scienteshow can i get vdpau video accelration with radeon driver, in mesa i've ehard04:44
scienteswith 3d shaders (not UVD)04:44
scientes**vaapi04:44
DonkeyHoteiscientes: http://askubuntu.com/questions/87395/how-can-i-enable-hardware-acceleration-for-an-ati-radeon-hd05:32
scientesDonkeyHotei, thats the non-free driver05:34
scientesi don't want that05:34
scientesmesa has it for radeon using 3d shaders05:34
scientesbut thanks for trying05:34
DonkeyHoteiaccording to the xorg website, radeon does not have it; only fglrx05:39
DonkeyHoteiif i were forced to choose between nonfree ati drivers and nonfree nvidia drivers, i'd choose nvidia05:41
bkerensaphilipballew: how is the crystal geyser supply :)05:48
