penguin42hmm; if I've got a fix for a crasher that's caused by a debian patch, but doesn't seem to trigger on debian, what do I do - add another patch or change the debian patch?15:37
cjwatsonpenguin42: Judgement call, mostly depending on what you think will be easier to merge in future, or on the flip of a coin.  I've done both in the past.15:52
cjwatsonI don't think it's desperately important.15:52
cjwatsonSometimes if the patch stack on top is complex then modifying the Debian patch can be less confusing all round.15:53
penguin42ok, I think I'll modify the patch, it's a 1 line removal; (it's bug 1069897)16:01

penguin42cjwatson: I'm tempted to open a debian bug for it as well, even though it doesn't seg for them, but they're on gdb 7.4 so it's possible that something has changed in the gdb cleanup system16:02

penguin42if there's a bored patch pilot hiding, I'd appreciate if they could have a glance at my branch to fix bug 106989720:28

patr|cksorry to intrude once again, but the support channel is not the right place for such questions. how can i find out what CPU and I/O scheduling settings are used in Ubuntu 12.04 and newer, please?20:34
jtaylorpatr|ck: in /boot/config*20:49
jtaylorI guess, please be more specific20:50
patr|ckjtaylor, thats the entire configuration, no config file settings?20:50
jtaylorpatr|ck: what exactly are you looking for?20:51
patr|cke.g. when i copy large chunks of data around my desktop is unusable till these transfers are complete. or i have a software that is indexing wikipedia and using xulrunner a lot. and my system freezes frequently20:52
patr|cki wanna get to the source of the problem20:52
jtaylorthose are pretty common problems with linux defaults in general, /boot/config* should contain the information you need20:53
jtayloryou are probably interested in the schedulers and swapping settings20:54
patr|ckcan you point me to resources that instruct how to fix this common problem?20:54
jtaylorI'm not sure there is a solution, if it is its probably by using non standard schedulers that may require recompilation20:55
patr|ckokay, thank you20:55
jtaylore.g. bfs is supposed to be better for interactive use, but don'T know how true that is nowadays20:55

hrwcan someone explain to me why apport has so broken dependencies?22:19
hrwhrw@krolik:/var/log$ apport-collect 108274222:19
hrwYou need to run 'sudo apt-get install python-apport' for apport-collect to work.22:19
hrwhrw@krolik:/var/log$ apport-collect 108274222:20
hrwERROR: The launchpadlib Python module is not installed. This functionality is not available.22:20
hrw1. apt-get install apport 2. apport-collect 3. apt-get install python-apport 4. apport-collect 5. apt-get install python-launchpadlib22:21
hrwWHY?22:21
hrwif apport-collect is useless without python-launchpadlib and python-apport then split it to separate package if you do not want to add those packages when apport is installed22:21
cjwatsonhrw: You might do better to ask when pitti is around22:25
hrwcjwatson: now I am reporting bug about it. this way I will not forget22:27
hrwBug #108274322:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1082743 in apport (Ubuntu) "apport-collect requires 2 extra packages to be installed by hand to be usable" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/108274322:28
hrwsometimes I am tired of missing dependencies in ubuntu packages22:30
xnoxhrw: because we do not want launchpadlib on the cd.22:34
xnoxhrw: use ubuntu-bug in small environments / live-cd the apport-collect indeed wants more dependencies than ubuntu-bug to talk to launchpad.22:34
hrwxnox: split apport-collect to separate package?22:35
hrwxnox: I use launchpad directly for reporting bugs as this is easier that way.22:36
hrwBug #1082742 is more annoying anyway22:36

xnoxhrw: I see your usecase. Maybe it should be split.22:37
hrwor rather users which ask me on google+ how to get rid of it22:37

hrwslangasek: no, it is also in precise and quantal iirc22:48
slangasekok22:48
slangasekit's possible this is related to the bugs ogra-cb_ was reporting on the nexus722:49
hrwmaybe22:50
hrwslangasek: do you have bug numbers?22:51
slangasekhrw: no, just a verbal report on IRC22:51
hrwok22:52
hrwI prefer to not move to kernel with hardcoded cmdline (if this is reason)22:52
slangasekbut yeah, he was talking about the issues with parsing of console= in plymouth22:53
hrwyep, same problem22:53
slangasekconsole= args are obviously meant to be "all of the above", not "either/or"22:53
