=== Phantomas1 is now known as Phantomas
bismayHii I want to be an ubuntu app developer any suggestions from where I should start?? Currently i have knowledge of c and c++17:06
bismayWhat extra languages should I learn besides C and C++ that would help me??17:09
tsimpsonprobably Python is a good language to learn17:11
commandolinebismay: I like Python too, but you can use C++ and C too if you don't want to learn a new one. More important is mastering a graphical user interface framework: e.g. GTK+ or Qt.17:19
bismaycommandoline, thanks...:)17:32
zodiakhey guys and gals, anyone help me with pbuilder ?23:18
zodiakit seems that it's not resolving base things such as debhelper23:18
zodiakor pep823:19
zodiakwhich, has me scratching my head23:19
zodiakanyone ?23:27
tsimpsonzodiak: try "sudo pbuilder --login" to debug that kind of thing, and add "--save-after-login" to make changes persistant23:28
zodiakaaahh.. that will drop me into the chroot env ?23:29
tsimpsonyep23:29

zodiakaahhhh23:44
zodiakDOH23:44
zodiakso, I was trying to build a quantal package against a precise build-tarball23:45
zodiakhah23:45
tsimpsonyeah, that'll do it23:48
tsimpson:p23:48
zodiakyup :)23:48
zodiakcan I chain a --login after a build ?23:49
zodiakI want to check the state of things before the chroot is all cleaned up23:49
zodiak(I ask because this machine has such a SLOW disk that it's probably easier to ask than rebuild ;)23:49
zodiaksudo pbuilder build --basetgz /home/openstack/pbuilder/quantal-base.tgz *.dsc --login23:53
zodiakthat didn't ~quite~ do what I thought it would do23:53
tsimpsonI don't think so, but you can create hooks that drop you to a shell when the build fails23:54
zodiakhrm.. well.. I mostly want to check that the thing is setup 'sanely' .. hhrrmm23:54
zodiakthanks for the help btw :)23:55
tsimpsonno problem23:56
