mspencer | Thank you, that's what I'll do. | 00:07 |
bdmurray | mspencer: if you have something you'd like reviewed I'd be happy to do that | 00:08 |
mspencer | I'm not ready yet, I'm trying to figure out the code needed to save an apport report. | 00:09 |
mspencer | If I have questions a bug fix should work, specifically LP #657275, where should I ask? | 01:57 |

njin | Hallo, wich app is responsible to grab the info from Disks, or to monitor the smart parameters, and advice onscreen in case of imminent failure of the disk ? | 12:39 |
persia | udisks handles the low-level stuff. I'm not sure about the UI. | 12:44 |
penguin42 | perhaps smart-notifier? | 12:45 |
persia | I don't think so: that's not included by default in any products and seems to use smartmontools as a backend rather than udisks. | 12:46 |
penguin42 | persia: Does udisks do it itself or does it use smartd in smartmontools? | 12:46 |
persia | I suspect there's something that subscribes to udisks DBus output and does something: I just don't know what. | 12:46 |
persia | penguin42: Sorry: missed your last comment: udisks appears to have code that communicates SMART directly. | 13:03 |
njin | well, but I've got a bug with Disks reporting the imminent failure, but nothing advicing me onscreen | 13:04 |
njin | just luck that disks was open at that time | 13:05 |
persia | njin: In that case, maybe there is no default consumer providing notifications. | 13:06 |
persia | Maybe ask the desktop team for whichever flavour you use. | 13:06 |
njin | ok, will ask on #unity then, thanks again | 13:08 |
persia | njin: Heh: yeah, they ought to have something, but if it's not ready yet, #ubuntu-desktop might have something from GNOME that can work until it's ready. | 13:08 |

fermulator | weird; i DLed paztebinit; it was a tar; extracted; | 16:36 |
fermulator | there'z a pastebinit bin; cant exec though | 16:36 |
penguin42 | fermulator: OK, if you can't get it off, look for any other interesting errors | 16:37 |
fermulator | ok fruztrated; i finally got it; but don't have python! heh | 16:40 |

penguin42 | yeh don't know much about dmraid | 16:42 |
fermulator | f it; going to put it back to AHCI and zwitch to zoftware RAID then | 16:43 |
fermulator | ztoopid ;o | 16:43 |
penguin42 | nod | 16:43 |
fermulator | that didn't work either (have been booting off a UZB key) -- revertting to CD Ubuntu zerver 12.10 | 16:52 |

fermulator | mizzing laptop keyz ; replacementz are in the mail! | 17:00 |
fermulator | \(the GF dropped it :( | 17:01 |
njin | fermulator, are you meaning that from cd works and from usb not ? | 17:01 |
TheLordOfTime | penguin42, i assume 16:27 is UTC? | 17:04 |
fermulator | njin; nope; CD and UZB both failed when trying to uze DMRAID. I've revertted back to AHCI mode, and mdadm RAID; worked | 17:05 |
penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Yeh | 17:07 |

mspencer | When I'm working on a bug that involves new behavior, who do I communicate with to decide exactly how it will work? | 22:48 |
mspencer | The bug is LP #657275. Should I ask how this should work on #ubuntu-devel, on one of the developers mailing lists, or what? | 22:50 |

penguin42 | hmm I think the finding-the-right package thing says for installation hangs doesn't it | 23:50 |
penguin42 | MrStein: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#When_installing_Ubuntu_.28or_Derivatives.29 | 23:51 |
MrStein | I'll set "kernel" then. Thanks. | 23:51 |
penguin42 | MrStein: From that I'd say Ubiquity - I mean it's very difficult to actually say if it's kernel or vmware at fault | 23:51 |
MrStein | kernel says "too many matches" :( | 23:52 |
penguin42 | MrStein: 'linux' is the package for kernel stuff | 23:52 |
MrStein | is "linux-kernel" ok? | 23:52 |
penguin42 | erm I thought itt was just called Linux | 23:53 |
penguin42 | (the package that is) | 23:53 |
MrStein | There is no package named 'linux-kernel' published in Ubuntu. | 23:53 |
penguin42 | hence why I said linux | 23:53 |
MrStein | WTF? I selected it from the presented list | 23:53 |
MrStein | ok, I'll put just "linux" | 23:53 |
