[13:42] <brendand> xnox, ping
[13:59] <xnox> !ask | brendand
[13:59] <ubot2> brendand: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[13:59] <xnox> brendand: what's up?
[13:59] <xnox> =))))))
[14:00] <brendand> xnox, this is specifically for you :) i know the irc rules :P
[14:00] <brendand> xnox, anyway - about the udisks2 porting for usb-creator
[14:01] <xnox> brendand: sure. It's just an empty ping.... ok. Let me try this "What can I do for you?" =)
[14:01] <xnox> ah that thing. Yeah.
[14:01] <brendand> xnox, apart from being able to expunge udisks from the cd, what is the benefit?
[14:01] <xnox> brendand: I think I had an action item to look at how checkbox got ported and copy&paste if possible =)
[14:02] <brendand> xnox, yeah that would be one way to approach it
[14:03] <xnox> brendand: well there is no other benefit, apart from udisks doesn't run in my session any more so I can't use usb-creator at all for example....
[14:03] <xnox> brendand: and udisks should drop out of the archive.
[14:03] <xnox> plus usb-creator needs porting to python3.
[14:06] <xnox> brendand: also I'd like to learn/understand dbus, as it's a block box for me. Never coded anything with dbus yet.
[14:06] <brendand> xnox, oh. have fun! :P
[14:07] <brendand> xnox, so how is usb-creator broken in your session? are you using R now?
[14:09] <xnox> brendand: I don't know why, but both in quantal and now in raring I get a popup saying "failed to communicate"
[14:10] <brendand> xnox, it does work for me on quantal. but i installed at alpha3 i think and have been upgrading since
[14:11]  * xnox downgrades to an actual release usb-creator instead of hand compiled
[16:10] <brendand> xnox, hey you know usb-creator-gtk runs with python3?
[16:10] <brendand> xnox, or at least changing the shebang to python3 doesn't cause any significant problems
[16:10] <brendand> well, it starts :)
[16:13] <xnox> brendand: yeah cjwatson ported most of it already. we were waiting on python3-something which is now available.
[16:13] <xnox> brendand: I have packaging changes for python3, but I can't test it on my machine for some reason, need to sort it out.
[16:19] <stgraber> xnox: are you also working on porting it to udisks2?
[16:19] <xnox> stgraber: it is on the table. Why? You want to race in doing it?
[16:20] <stgraber> xnox: hehe, no, busy with other things ;) but it's been crashing for me quite a bit lately and I've spotted some udisks process using 100% CPU in such case so I was wondering if the switch to udisks2 would magically fix it for me :)
[16:21] <xnox> stgraber: well there is a small plan to write a "dd" backend .....
[16:21] <xnox> not sure about persistance though.
[16:21] <stgraber> dd backend would be good for the most common cases though I don't see how it'd work with persistence
[16:21] <xnox> snap =)
