| ubottu | bug 1153822 in Quantal Backports "Please backport apt-mirror 0.4.9-1 (universe) from raring" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1153822 | 04:33 |
| micahg | Laney: hipmunk doesn't work with ghc 7.6.2, mind if I just file a removal request? (even with the new 5.2.0.10 and a hacked cabal for the deps in 7.6.2) | 06:03 |
| Laney | micahg: yes, I do mind. In general I want to fix things if possible rather than remove them, and hipmunk is a rather simple case | 11:04 |
| Laney | the llvms might be a more interesting one to look at | 11:06 |

| cjohnston | micahg: bug #1153822 is confirmed.. /me needs a better way to follow up with bugs he filed.. heh.. I'd done the work the next day, just never remembered to go back.. I guess I could have assigned it to myself. | 14:09 |

| micahg | cjohnston: well, marking the stuff off in the description is what I meant | 16:48 |
| micahg | Laney: that's why I asked :), there are ghc llvms? | 16:48 |
| cjohnston | micahg: yup.. I was just saying i need a way to remember to follow up on that stuff | 16:49 |
| Laney | micahg: haskell-llvm-* | 16:52 |
| Laney | s/-\*/\*/ | 16:53 |
| micahg | hrm, ok | 16:54 |
| Laney | I think needs some adjustment to work with whatever llvm version we have atm | 16:54 |
| Laney | I seem to recall doing that before, maybe | 16:55 |
| micahg | ok, I won't get a chance to look until later this week though, already have a pile of stuff to do today | 16:55 |
| Laney | sure | 16:55 |
| Laney | I think if you ignore stuff-to-be-removed the situation is quite tractable | 16:56 |
| micahg | ok | 16:56 |
| jtaylor | ScottK: is the pyqt list moderated? my mail does not seem to have arrived yet :/ | 17:08 |
| ScottK | No. | 17:08 |
| jtaylor | strange | 17:08 |
| ScottK | Are you sure you sent from the address you're subscribed from? | 17:08 |
| jtaylor | I'm not subscribed | 17:09 |
| ScottK | It's probably moderated then. | 17:20 |
| Rhonda | A neighbour of mine would like to install 10.04 onto a system that is only capable of CD images, not DVD. And he told me that the only images he found were too big for his CDs to record to? | 18:38 |
| Rhonda | erm, 12.04 of course | 18:39 |
| jtaylor | Rhonda: network install is an option | 18:43 |
| jtaylor | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/12.04/ | 18:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | what, they can't USB boot? | 18:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | is the system that old? (just saying) | 18:44 |
| Rhonda | No, usb boot not possible, and strangely, he said that network install would take ages. | 18:47 |
| Rhonda | But now that I looked, the images are all below 700 megs, so I'm uncertain what his actual issue was. :) | 18:47 |
| jtaylor | I doubt 12.04 will run good on such a machine | 18:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | agreed with jtaylor | 18:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | if the system is as it is described, Ubuntu 12.04 probably won't run well. | 18:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | *maybe* Lubuntu will, but... | 18:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | that's still a "maybe" | 18:48 |
| Rhonda | usb boot isn't supported everywhere, and a lot of systems might run properly with 12.04 even if they don't have usb boot. | 18:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | that wasn't our point? | 18:49 |
| Rhonda | Then I have no clue what your point was. | 18:49 |
| Rhonda | Because from what you wrote your point clearly was "no usb boot? is it that old?" | 18:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | that was MY statement | 18:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | not jtaylor's | 18:49 |
| Rhonda | At least that's what I perceived. | 18:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | fine, so everyone in the ubuntu place is calling me out on my mis-speaks. | 18:50 |
| * TheLordOfTime walks off to bugs triaging, which doesn't require as much interaction with people. | 18:50 | |
| Rhonda | "on such machine", what's that then? I can just guess he also responded to your "no usb boot, that old" statement, I don't see any other reference to "on such a machine" that would make sense to me? | 18:50 |
| jtaylor | what kind of a machine is it? | 18:51 |
| Rhonda | All I know is that it can't usb boot, and that it has a cd drive, not a dvd one. | 18:51 |
| Unit193 | I've noted that BIOS upgrades can give you the USB booting support, at times. Lubuntu is more lightweight, but if you go mini+openbox, it's lighter. AntiX and slitaz are really lightweight, though. | 18:52 |
| Rhonda | … which to me isn't much information for guessing whether 12.04 would run properly or not. :) | 18:52 |
| Unit193 | You can use plop to boot of a USB drive by jumping off CD. | 18:52 |
| jtaylor | no, but it is a good clue | 18:52 |
| jtaylor | the last machine I had that couldn't boot usb is about 10 years old | 18:52 |
| jtaylor | I wouldn't want to run 12.04 on uit, it was already strugling with 08.04 | 18:52 |
| Rhonda | I wasn't able to get usb boot working on my thinkpad E525. | 18:53 |
| Rhonda | Given the troubles with usb boot that I had all around, I don't consider usb boot any reasonable clue. :) | 18:53 |
| Unit193 | 11/01/2004 computer didn't support it until I flashed the BIOS. | 18:54 |
| Rhonda | I doubt that he was speaking about a 10 year old machine. | 18:54 |
| Rhonda | But thanks for the responses anyway. | 18:54 |
| * ScottK has computers running 12.04 that don't support USB boot that run it fine. | 19:57 | |
