[00:52] <phillipsjk> On the plus side, I don't have to reload the LiveDVD too often because suspend mode seems to work. Did not see a menu option, but the keyboard suspend button works.
[01:14] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> !eol
[11:08] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:16] <marcoagpinto> BluesKaj! Hello!
[11:16] <BluesKaj> hi marcoagpinto
[11:16] <marcoagpinto> :)
[15:31] <OerHeks> interesting, .. https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/4/contributions/281/attachments/216/435/LPC_2019_kernel_fastboot_on_the_way.pdf
[15:35] <TJ-> OerHeks:  rather telling its Intel's own i915 driver causing the major issue
[15:36] <OerHeks> well, i like the story about this fastboot and rules for cars, up in 2 sec
[15:37] <OerHeks> but sure, they should fix it and then publish
[15:38] <TJ-> "i915 driver’s 32 times DPCD register read" (slide 20)
[15:39] <TJ-> seems the 1-second delay for the i915 driver is due to the unusual hypervisor
[15:40] <OerHeks> uhuh, "the i915 framebuffer device takes 1 second to initialize which is caused by the hypervisor"
[15:40] <OerHeks> lot of work to do
[15:40] <TJ-> the list of details at the end in the Backup section is interesting
[15:40] <OerHeks> and the last slide .. yes
[15:40] <OerHeks>  Detecting the IRQ number of UART costs 250ms
[15:40] <OerHeks>  Better avoid IRQ auto detection
[15:42] <TJ-> Sounds like this is Intel trying to get its CPUs into the embedded automotive market
[15:43] <TJ-> bet it goes about as well as their cellular modem chipsets, now sold to Apple
[15:43] <OerHeks> 5G ..
[15:45] <TJ-> Interesting report though
[15:46] <OerHeks> indeed, my first look inside this development.. may well come to the desktop though
[15:46] <TJ-> ironic the claims made for ACRN seeing as how it causes many of the delays though! Claimed to have "real time" "in mind"  https://projectacrn.org/
[15:46] <OerHeks> fast & secureboot, no problems
[15:47] <TJ-> looks to be very China-located
[15:48] <TJ-> ironic in the features list under "Real Time" they list "Enables faster boot time" :D
[15:49] <TJ-> https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
[15:50] <TJ-> yes, that confirms its an Intel driven project, security reports gpgp encrypted to Intel Product Security team
[15:52] <OerHeks> i would think it would have more units, one that never goes down .. like the spaceshuttle, 5 computers,
[15:55] <TJ-> OerHeks: I think this is not for really critical systems
[15:55] <TJ-> OerHeks: entertainment system, cameras, Android ... says it all
[15:55] <TJ-> if it were critical put each on its own CPU/IO
[15:58] <EoflaOE> Hello everyone
[15:59] <OerHeks> hi EoflaOE
[16:00] <EoflaOE> Hello OerHeks
[16:00] <EoflaOE> How are you?
[16:02] <OerHeks> just a lazy sunday, how about you?
[16:05] <marcoagpinto> hey guys and girls
[16:08] <OerHeks> hi marco
[16:08] <marcoagpinto> :)
[16:26] <tomreyn> do you use irqbalance? also on single socket (UP) systems?
[16:26] <marcoagpinto> tomreyn, dear one! :)
[16:27] <tomreyn> i withdraw my question, read the package description wrong, will keep using it.
[16:28] <tomreyn> hi marco
[16:44] <marcoagpinto> guys?! Will there be a 512-bit support Ubuntu?
[16:44] <marcoagpinto> some Intel chips support 512-bit extensions or whatever
[16:44] <marcoagpinto> :)
[16:46] <TJ-> what?
[16:46] <marcoagpinto> what? what?
[16:46] <marcoagpinto> :)
[16:52] <marcoagpinto> TJ-: Intel® AVX-512
[16:53] <marcoagpinto> 512 bit extensions
[16:55] <TJ-> not in the way you're meaning ... these are special instructions/registers for handling some crypto in hardware
[16:56] <TJ-> the vector extensions are not general purpose op codes
[16:58] <marcoagpinto> TJ-: I thought they were for scientific calculations?
[16:59] <marcoagpinto> so that scientists could research faster?
[16:59] <marcoagpinto> and find cures faster?
[17:03] <TJ-> marcoagpinto: AVX is an evolution of the earlier SIMD instructions from MMX, SSE etc. A big driver for the wider registers 256/512 has been increased reliance on cryptography and requiring hardware support to speed it up
[17:04] <marcoagpinto> ohhhhhhhhh

[17:52] <marcoagpinto> sorry...
[17:52] <marcoagpinto> right
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: got currently 2 realtek wifi bugs on kernel 5.0...
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> lotuspsychje: Is RealTek a brand?
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> because my 2009 laptop has it
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> :)
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> an ASUS
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> one flickering screen, worked around with cstate and one iwlwifi fixxed in the oem sp 1 kernel
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> marcoagpinto: yes realtek is a brand
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> ahhhhhhh
[17:59] <marcoagpinto> ahhhh... a silly question: will it be possible for icons to have images on future Ubuntus?
[17:59] <marcoagpinto> for example, the Tor browser has a different icon
[17:59] <marcoagpinto> just wondering if it could happen with all apps
[18:00] <marcoagpinto> usually the images are the same


[12:39] <bhale> Mithrandir: could you please process beagle in new before herd3?
[02:55] <bddebian> Heya
[03:38] <Tonren> Hey guys, can anyone humor me for a few minutes while I ask a few questions about why Ubuntu networking works the way it does?
[03:39] <shackan> everybody's asleep and I'm not the right person to answer, but what do you mean ?
[03:41] <Tonren> shackan: Well, I've done a lot of configuring and re-configuring on multiple Ubuntu setups (server, desktop, laptop, etc.), and I've installed, been disgusted with and uninstalled numerous GUI helpers, and in general, I'm just a little fuzzy on why networking is such a pain in the ass on Ubuntu.
[03:41] <Tonren> (I don't have much experience with other distros, so it may be Linux in general, but I haven't heard nearly as many horror stories from users of other distros.)
[03:41] <Fujitsu> I find the GUIs (especially NetworkManager) to be fine.
[03:42] <Tonren> Fujitsu: NetworkManager *literally* became a nightmare for me.  I had so much trouble with it that it actually disturbed my sleep one night.
[03:42] <Fujitsu> I've not had trouble since 0.5 or so.
[03:42] <Tonren> It was slow, buggy, inconsistent, crash-prone and unclear.
[03:42] <Fujitsu> (which was ages ago)
[03:42] <Tonren> When I tried it again a few weeks ago, it still was.  :\
[03:42] <Fujitsu> I've never had it crash or be buggy.
[03:42] <Fujitsu> Nor slow...
[03:42] <shackan> Tonren, I have to agree on network manager
[03:42] <Tonren> I would create a "Home" location, but the next time I logged in, my location was "".  I tried changing it to "Home", but when it tried to configure eth0, it sat there for ten minutes and then crashed.
[03:43] <Fujitsu> Unsuitable in some cases, perhaps. But in quite a number of cases, it's great.
[03:43] <Fujitsu> Oh, that's not Network Manager...
[03:43] <shackan> but I've just saved three profiles and occasionally switch between them
[03:43] <Tonren> shackan: I couldn't even get it working right with two profiles.
[03:43] <Fujitsu> That's gnome-system-tools' network configuration thing, and the profiles are known to be totally screwed.
[03:44] <Tonren> Okay... so, gnome-system-tools' networking is the actual GUI thing, and NetworkManager is the systray applet.  Right?
[03:44] <Fujitsu> NetworkManager is completely independent from the g-s-t application.
[03:44] <shackan> well, the applet is just the NetworkManager applet, there's a daemon behind it
[03:44] <Fujitsu> It sits in the systray, but isn't a panel applet.
[03:45] <Tonren> Right, so there's a NetworkManager daemon and nm-applet.  Is that right?
[03:45] <Fujitsu> Correct.
[03:45] <Tonren> Anyway - I tried to get the systray applet working for about a week (I must have spent between 1 and 2 hours on it a day, in #ubuntu and browsing the forums), and it just would not play nice with any of my network connections.  The same story - lag, error.  Lag, crash.  Lag, lag, nothing.
[03:45] <Tonren> Manually configuring my network interfaces on teh command line has *always* worked flawlessly
[03:45] <Fujitsu> I've not had issues.
[03:46] <Fujitsu> It seems that NetworkManager and g-s-t behave fairly well together in Feisty, which is good.
[03:46] <Tonren> Once I login, I can do sudo -su; ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient -1 eth0; or ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig wlan0 ap any; iwconfig wlan0 essid any; dhclient -1 wlan0;
[03:46] <shackan> Tonren, that's still the only way to get it done right
[03:46] <shackan> (at least for me)
[03:46] <Tonren> Those two things are like charms - they ALWAYS work.  But as soon as I try to get anything configured *automatically*, be it through /etc/network/interfaces, or g-s-t or NM, everything goes to hell.
[03:46] <Tonren> shackan: Same here
[03:46] <Tonren> What shocks me is this.
[03:47] <mjg59> Could people please have this discussion somewhere else?
[03:47] <Fujitsu> mjg59, probably a good point.
[03:47] <mjg59> If there are specific bugs, please report them
[03:47] <mjg59> Mentioning them in here at this time of day isn't likely to result in any devs picking up on them
[03:47] <Tonren> mjg59: Sorry... I'm not sure where else to talk about this.  It's not *development*, per se, but it doesn't really belong in #ubuntu which is mainly a one-to-one support channel.
[03:48] <Tonren> shackan: Fujitsu: Are you guys both in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[03:48] <shackan> no way, irc is already a great waste of time per se, no need for offtopic channels :)
[03:49] <Tonren> shackan: That's what I think, too.  ;P
[03:49] <Tonren> mjg59: With all due respect, while our discussion isn't strictly dev-related, I don't think it is really negatively affecting the channel.
[03:50] <mjg59> Tonren: With all due respect, you're welcome to feel that :)
[03:50] <Hobbsee> uh oh, udev update.  wonder if it breaks
[03:50] <shackan> so we can stop it here and not bug mjg59 further, as far as I'm concerned some wonderkind needs to rewrite a g-s-t done right from scratch, and it's not going to happen, I'm happy typing commands, I don't care if my aunt can't configure her network, she's not using ubuntu anyway
[03:51] <Tonren> Wow.
[03:51] <mjg59> But the fact that the channel is fairly idle isn't a great excuse for off-topic discussion
[03:51] <Hobbsee> shackan: Tonren Fujitsu try #ubuntu-networking
[03:51] <Tonren> Fair enough.
[03:51] <Tonren> Hobbsee: Thank you.
[03:55] <Hobbsee> mjg59: yay, quiet :)

[10:32] <pitti> seb128: ok, if you are confident that it works, I'll trust you
[10:33] <seb128> as said it has got plenty of testing on feisty
[10:33] <seb128> (and other distro which updated to GNOME 2.16.2)
[10:33] <pitti> seb128: it's just that the patch itself is unverifyable (e. g. domWindowPrivate ptr is not checked for NULL, etc)
[10:33] <pitti> ok
[10:33] <seb128> well, if you prefer we can drop the update
[10:33] <pitti> seb128: well, go ahead then, having it in -proposed would be nice
[10:33] <seb128> but I think it's not a real risk and it'll make users happy
[10:33] <seb128> ok, thank you
[10:38] <pitti> mvo: can you please add proper backport tasks to bug 68553, point out the feisty status, and explain whether both the dapper/edgy or just the dapper update of python-apt is needed?

[10:40] <pythonmaster> i want to upgrade dapper to edgy from live-install cd
[10:40] <pythonmaster> someone can help me?
[10:40] <pythonmaster> this is very important
[10:40] <visik7> Chipzz: there is the package for vmware-player
[10:40] <pythonmaster> coz i amke some mistakes and that now my dapper look like very bed
[10:41] <visik7> is it not working ?
[10:41] <pythonmaster> plz help me i am googling for hours

[10:41] <visik7> oh ok
[10:41] <pythonmaster> how can i upgrade from edgy cd?
[10:42] <thom> pythonmaster: #ubuntu is the channel for support requests
[10:42] <pythonmaster> but they arent help me !!
[10:42] <visik7> strange a friend of mine use vmware player (the packaged version
[10:42] <pythonmaster> its very strong problem
[10:43] <thom> pythonmaster: it doesn't matter. this is not the correct channel for support.
[10:43] <pythonmaster> you thing so simple
[10:43] <siretart> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField
[10:43] <pythonmaster> and easy
[10:43] <Chipzz> visik7: it works on dapper. not on edgy or feisty
[10:43] <visik7> let me see

[10:49] <pythonmaster> hmm
[10:49] <pitti> mvo: apt/dapper-proposed accepted
[10:50] <mvo> pitti: thanks!
[10:50] <pitti> mvo: the update-manager task is for the dist-upgrader patch?
[10:51] <mvo> pitti: yes
[10:51] <pitti> mvo: and it's not fixed and tested in feisty yet?
[10:51] <mvo> pitti: its fixed and tested in feisty, let me update the tasks. I used only milone targets for those bugs
[10:51] <pitti> sorry for being anal about it, but I'd like to see the bug statuses in good shape so that I can keep track properly
[10:52] <mvo> it was when the "backport to release" link disappeared
[10:52] <mvo> and I had not yet discovered the new one
[10:52] <pitti> 'target to release'
[10:52] <mvo> I know
[10:52] <mvo> now
[10:53] <mvo> pitti: being strict about this is fine, I will update the status
[10:54] <visik7> Chipzz: I can't find any bug on launchpad about problems running vmware-player in edgy or feisty, and actually I haven't any problem with vmware-player
[11:04] <pitti> mvo: ok, if you wish, please go ahead with 68553
[11:06] <mvo> pitti: thanks, I uploaded the package to dapper-proposed and edgy-proposed
[11:06] <Mithrandir> mvo: care to poke at 77620 today?
[11:08] <Mithrandir> siretart: regarding your openarena sync requests, they were done over a week ago, they've just not been NEWed.
[11:08] <mvo> Mithrandir: yes
[11:14] <siretart> Mithrandir: oh. Sorry, I didn't notice that NEW processing is currently lagging a bit
[11:25] <cjwatson> visik7: the live/desktop CD doesn't support upgrades; you need the alternate install CD for that
[11:26] <cjwatson> pitti: I set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives and /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_media to false
[11:26] <pitti> cjwatson: right
[11:26] <cjwatson> pitti: I don't believe anything unmounts stuff from /media
[11:26] <pitti> cjwatson: I added a bug comment, it seems to be an inconsistent handling of gconf key setting in ubiquity
[11:27] <cjwatson> hmmm
[11:27] <cjwatson> it's not impossible I guess, but that's really really weird
[11:28] <cjwatson> it's definitely done in code common to both auto and manual partitioning
[11:28] <cjwatson> pitti: want to eyeball it for me? ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py in the ubiquity source package, search for 'def progress_loop'
[11:29] <cjwatson> that's the only function that calls install.Install() which is what actually copies stuff to disk, so it's definitely called
[11:29] <pitti> cjwatson: will do, after breakfast; thanks
[11:29] <cjwatson> pitti: oh, would g-v-m notice partitions being created even before filesystems are created?
[11:30] <cjwatson> pitti: gparted will create the partition and then partman will mkfs ...
[11:30] <cjwatson> but the gconf fiddling is done in between those two
[11:32] <cjwatson> I think the right answer is probably to disable g-v-m for the duration of ubiquity
[11:33] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: what do you think about turning the new partitioner on by default for Herd 3?
[11:33] <cjwatson> we talked about it briefly at Oslo - the more testing it gets early, the better
[11:33] <cjwatson> but its UI is still incomplete
[11:35] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: how incomplete is it?
[11:35] <cjwatson> it's got the partition list but no pretty disk UI at the top
[11:36] <cjwatson> so it's basically "double/right-click on items in this here listbox to do stuff"
[11:36] <cjwatson> I'd suggest trying it out - ubiquity --new-partitioner
[11:37] <Mithrandir> you want to test it so we can find out about stability problems, I presume?
[11:37] <Mithrandir> since testing the UI wouldn't be useful at this point
[11:37] <cjwatson> well, half the UI is there
[11:37] <cjwatson> but yes, basically
[11:38] <cjwatson> the underlying partman interaction is roughly the way I want it, modulo optimisation and features
[11:38] <cjwatson> so if that's breaking for people, I'd like to know
[11:38] <Mithrandir> ok
[11:38] <cjwatson> maybe a couple of core-devs other than me should try it first
[11:39] <Mithrandir> I could try it in a bit
[11:44] <cjwatson> pitti: I've committed an alleged fix, but I'm in the London office today and I'm not sure I have any means to test it
[11:45] <cjwatson> it's in sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubiquity/trunk/

[12:17] <pitti> argh, 18 unapproved things in dapper-updates
[12:17] <Mithrandir> you can probably reject most of it, if it hasn't gone through the usual process.
[12:18] <pitti> right, will cross-check with bugs
[12:18] <pitti> cjwatson: just took a look at the ubiquity commit; I agree that it seems safer to disable gvm entirely while ubiquity runs
[12:19] <pitti> cjwatson: folks can still mount their USB stick manually by clicking on the icon if they really want
[12:32] <Hobbsee> pitti: at the kopete removal request - the kopete source that was used to build kopete-dev.  i think the kopete from that package has been superceded from the package built from kdenetwork
[12:33] <bhale> Mithrandir: thanks!
[12:33] <pitti> Hobbsee: ah, I see, kopete is now built from kdenetwork, too
[12:33] <Hobbsee> pitti: indeed.
[12:33] <pitti> Hobbsee: alright, will remove the entire source package then
[12:33] <Hobbsee> pitti: we forked, then added it back
[12:34] <Hobbsee> pitti: as upstream was using an ancient version of kopete with lots of bugs in it, and distributing it with kde.
[12:34] <pitti> Hobbsee: can you please put that into the bug report?
[12:34] <Hobbsee> pitti: done
[12:35] <Riddell> well, upstream did a separate release which we packaged
[12:36] <Riddell> Hobbsee: kopete-meanwhile source and binary packages are also obsolete if you want to file a bug to remove them
[12:36] <pitti> Hobbsee, Riddell: just add that to the same bug report, since it's related
[12:37] <Hobbsee> Riddell: that's in mainstream kopete now, isnt it?
[12:37] <Riddell> Hobbsee: yes
[12:37] <Hobbsee> cool

[01:04] <jwendell> thanks, Hobbsee
[01:10] <maswan> will feisty+n be LTS?
[01:10] <ogra_> maswan, fsvo n :)
[01:11] <Treenaks> ogra_: and n>1 ;)
[01:12] <maswan> Well, is it known that n will be >1 yet? How about >2?
[01:14] <maswan> It came up in a discussion recently, how long we should stay off backporting newer kernels to dapper in the hope that there will be a new lts "soon". :)
[01:15] <Mithrandir> personally, I think feisty+2.  Bigger will cause transition problems for organisations which need a bit of time to test the new one.
[01:28] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: this morning's livefs failed due to ubiquity-frontend-gtk, care to investigate?
[01:29] <elmo> Mithrandir: he'd have to be able to boot his machine first ;-)
[01:30] <Mithrandir> elmo: ah, he's in London today.  I forgot.
[01:36] <mjg59> elmo: I ought to be getting hold of an MBP shortly, so I'll be able to deal with most of the remaining issues
[01:41] <cjwatson> pitti: it's ok, I've got them all
[01:42] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: already dealt with - will upload shortly
[01:42] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: (missing /usr/share/apport/ubiquity.py in the ubiquity binary)
[01:43] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: had a chance to check out the new partitioner?
[01:43] <cjwatson> maswan: it will be >1
[01:44] <pitti> cjwatson: I prepared and tested new dapper langpacks (we need to re-roll the -base packages, because the current update tarballs from Rosetta are missing lots of stuff); do you have some time in the next days to walk me through the process of uploading/silently approving?
[01:44] <pitti> s/approving/accepting/
[01:45] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: no, sorry.   I'll do that now.
[01:46] <maswan> Mithrandir: that will be good for us yes, >2 will probably become a bit too long

[01:54] <cjwatson> pitti: probably not today, but tomorrow, yes
[01:54] <pitti> cjwatson: thanks
[01:55] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: shall I upload ubiquity now to fix livefs generation, or wait for a new-partitioner decision? I haven't tested the fix for bug 78862 :(
[01:55] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 78862 in ubiquity "automatically mounts created file systems on live CD on manual partitioning" [Critical,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/78862
[01:56] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: but the fix for 78862 should be trivial?
[01:56] <cjwatson> it's relatively simple but involved shuffling code around to completely different places
[01:56] <Mithrandir> ok
[01:56] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: I'm still rsyncing down the images, so if it's ok for you to wait an hour or so before a decision on the partitioner, that'd be good.
[01:57] <cjwatson> sure
[01:57] <fabbione> cjwatson: i think #81782 might be either udev or something in the installer.. would you mind (when you have time) to just look at it?
[01:59] <cjwatson> fabbione: what's the correct module for this device?
[02:00] <cjwatson> r8169 apparently
[02:01] <fabbione> cjwatson: seems like it yes
[02:01] <fabbione> the strange thing is that there is an interface entry but no auto?
[02:01] <cjwatson> you're very quick to claim it isn't a kernel bug
[02:01] <mvo> could someone please approve g-a-i for feisty? I uploaded it 4min after main was frozen and it contains some fixes for the EasyCodecInstall spec
[02:01] <cjwatson> it's entirely possible that it is
[02:02] <Mithrandir> mvo: looking
[02:02] <Hobbsee> Mithrandir: how frozen is main?
[02:02] <seb128> Hobbsee: frozen like uploads need review to be accepted
[02:03] <Mithrandir> Hobbsee: depends on what you want to upload.
[02:03] <fabbione> cjwatson: well d-i or the installer did find the interface and configure it. The driver works if configured manually or with dhcp (when adding auto eth0)
[02:03] <fabbione> cjwatson: the driver is in the udeb
[02:03] <cjwatson> fabbione: the kernel emits udebs. if the udebs are wrong then it's a kernel bug.
[02:03] <Hobbsee> seb128: well, yeah.  was more a question of "how much persuading will be needed for it to be reviewed, instead of straight declined
[02:03] <Hobbsee> "
[02:03] <cjwatson> you do not have the evidence to claim that it is not a kernel bug
[02:04] <fabbione> cjwatson: so for what i can see it's not a kernel bug. tho i might be wrong.. but the last comment was referred to brian reassining it to the kernel
[02:04] <seb128> Hobbsee: well, what sort of change do you want to get accepted and why?
[02:04] <Hobbsee> seb128: changes to kdenetwork
[02:04] <Mithrandir> Hobbsee: for KDE stuff, I'll generally accept it if Riddell's happy with it.
[02:04] <fabbione> cjwatson: it can still be a kernel bug.. but it has been reassigned to the kernel without proofs that is a kernel bug. basically the opposite of what you are trying to tell me
[02:05] <cjwatson> then say "we don't know whether this is a kernel bug yet", not "This isn't a kernel bug"
[02:05] <Hobbsee> fabbione: the latex guys dont want to make the script with sh, as apparently it breaks on bsd, if it's not bash.  go figure.
[02:06] <fabbione> Hobbsee: well ok.. just send me a new dediff once you are ready
[02:06] <fabbione> cjwatson: fair enough.
[02:06] <Hobbsee> fabbione: Riddell's awake - might make more sense to get him to?  *shrug* - thanks for the offer
[02:06] <fabbione> Hobbsee: ok even better
[02:06] <cjwatson> fabbione: netcfg never emits an iface line without an auto line right above it. If that iface line was written automatically, then it wasn't by the installer. Personally I think it's much more likely that they added it by hand
[02:07] <Mithrandir> mvo: accepted.
[02:07] <fabbione> cjwatson: ok, thanks for looking into it.
[02:07] <mvo> thanks Mithrandir!
[02:08] <fabbione> cjwatson: mind if i quote you there?

[02:37] <cjwatson> fabbione: yeah
[02:37] <fabbione> ok
[02:41] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: the new partitioner is.. fiddly.  I'll be happy to have it if I get a blurb I can insert into the announcement telling people about it and what you want to get bugs about and what you don't want to get bugs about.

[03:36] <cjwatson> meh. give me a bit.
[03:38] <Mithrandir> we could drop cvs from ship, it'd save about 1.6MB
[03:38] <pitti> ++ :)
[03:38] <pitti> we should maintain a 'FirstAgainstTheWall' page

[04:03] <Mithrandir> yeah.
[04:08] <Mithrandir> can we drop the ltsp stuff from regular ship?  It doesn't save much, though..

[04:12] <Riddell> Mithrandir: the one that ended up on cdimage
[04:13] <cjwatson> ogra: the question is always "why not"
[04:13] <Mithrandir> ogra: because the ppc CD is too big.
[04:13] <cjwatson> there needs to be a reason for each item on the CD
[04:13] <ogra> well, there are business reasons i think ... mdz always insisted to have it on regular ubuntu CDs as well
[04:14] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: bzip2ing ttf-arphic-uming and ttf-baekmuk would save about 2.5MB
[04:14] <ogra> ltsp itself is less than 200k
[04:14] <ogra> or around 200k
[04:15] <Mithrandir> ogra: no, it's closer to 1.25MB with dependencies.
[04:15] <ogra> it pulls in a bunch of server bits though

[04:19] <ogra> thats about it
[04:19] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: another 1.5MB from bzip2ing ttf-kochi-{mincho,gothic}
[04:20] <cjwatson> obviously none of that helps desktop in the slightest
[04:20] <Mithrandir> yeah, ship-live is even worse
[04:20] <Mithrandir> but that has a bunch of langpacks still, I can make it not have that on ppc
[04:21] <elmo> how about we just drop the fonts
[04:21] <cjwatson> huh? ship-live has no langpacks
[04:21] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: live has.
[04:21] <Mithrandir> elmo: that'd make our CJVK users unhappy.
[04:21] <cjwatson> oh, right, that's where they went
[04:22] <cjwatson> our CJVK users already have no langpacks on powerpc ;-)
[04:22] <cjwatson> but seriously, we mostly ship the fonts so documents are readable even if the desktop isn't translated
[04:22] <Mithrandir> no langpacks and no fonts make them even less happy, I imagine.  But I guess we could move them to supported.
[04:22] <cjwatson> which apparently somebody at some point thought was more important
[04:22] <cjwatson> bzip2ing should get us the space back, given that I found 4MB there without trying too hard
[04:23] <Mithrandir> being able to write and read documents in your native language is far more important than having the desktop translated.
[04:23] <cjwatson> yeah
[04:24] <cjwatson> tkamppeter: why are all the PPDs compressed independently

[04:26] <cjwatson> tkamppeter: I guess that's too much of a space hit on installed systems, so ignore me
[04:38] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: turns out I'm not in a meeting after all, so I'll upload these bzip2ings now
[04:38] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: I just did -uming
[04:38] <Mithrandir> but feel free to do the rest.
[04:39] <cjwatson> meh, that was the only one I had built so far
[04:40] <Mithrandir> do -kochi- and I'll do bakmuk?
[04:40] <cjwatson> I'm mid-download of baekmuk
[04:40] <cjwatson> did you add Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.10.24)?
[04:40] <Mithrandir> hm, no.
[04:40] <Mithrandir> I should probably do that.
[04:43] <cjwatson> ttf-baekmuk (2.2-1ubuntu2) feisty; urgency=low
[04:43] <cjwatson> ttf-baekmuk (2.2-1ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low
[04:43] <cjwatson> that just looks wrong
[04:43] <Mithrandir> I'll do -kochi- now
[04:47] <Mithrandir> there, new arphic-uming uploaded
[04:47] <Mithrandir> mvo: what's in the dist-upgrader?
[04:48] <ogra> cjwatson, hmm, i seem to have live and desktop isos ... is that a temporary overlap or a bug ?
[04:49] <mvo> Mithrandir: mostly fixes and apport integration. but a fix for the cdromupgrade thing too
[04:49] <Mithrandir> mvo: cheers.
[04:49] <mvo> Mithrandir: I can do you a (fake) debdiff if you want one
[04:50] <Mithrandir> mvo: nah, it should be fine.

[04:52] <cjwatson> seb128: could you make that bzip2ed, please? dh_builddeb -- -Zbzip2 and Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.10.24)
[04:54] <amep> I am going to try to squash the usplash on AMD64 bug (gray splash screen, etc). But I know very little aboue usplash. Can anyone point me to some developer docs for usplash? I can't get it to run on a fully booted system for testing.
[04:55] <Mithrandir> amep: then don't bother, it has a known fix.
[04:55] <Mithrandir> just a matter of finding time to fix it.
[04:55] <amep> Could I help push it through?
[04:55] <amep> I'm sick of getting emails about the bug. ;-)
[04:55] <Mithrandir> heh
[04:55] <Mithrandir> we're in a freeze now.  I can try to fix it friday.
[04:56] <amep> OK.
[04:57] <seb128> cjwatson: ok, will do
[04:58] <amep> Thanks to everyone, by the way. I love Ubuntu. And I really appreciate all the work that goes into it.
[05:00] <cjwatson> BenC: could you consider bzip2ing linux-headers-$ABI, please?
[05:00] <cjwatson> $ compare-gzip-bzip2 linux-headers-2.6.20-5
[05:00] <cjwatson> gzip: 7192873
[05:00] <cjwatson> bzip2: 5980068
[05:00] <BenC> cjwatson: In the .deb?
[05:00] <cjwatson> BenC: dh_builddeb -- -Zbzip2, Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.10.24)
[05:01] <cjwatson> to get data.tar.bz2 rather than data.tar.gz
[05:01] <BenC> cjwatson: Didn't know we supported that, cool
[05:01] <cjwatson> the numbers above aren't totally reliable but they should be pretty close
[05:01] <cjwatson> since hoary or so :)
[05:01] <cjwatson> can't be used in Debian until etch releases
[05:02] <BenC> I had it working like 6 years ago, but no one wanted it :)
[05:03] <cjwatson> heh
[05:03] <cjwatson> Scott probably reinvented it
[05:03] <cjwatson> vim-runtime will gain us another 1MB
[05:03] <lifeless> has defaulting that to bzip2 been considered ?
[05:03] <cjwatson> yes, and rejected
[05:03] <cjwatson> (we considered it very early on)
[05:04] <cjwatson> it takes considerably more CPU to unpack, particularly on lower-power machines, so we only do it selectively
[05:04] <thom> and on most debs it doesn't make much difference
[05:04] <cjwatson> right, it only gains you much on the big packages
[05:04] <Keybuk> I can't remember
[05:04] <Keybuk> I think it was based on an existing patch
[05:05] <pitti> hi Keybuk
[05:05] <bdmurray> pitti: I was wondering if apport has any duplicate detection abilities when submitting bugs
[05:06] <pitti> bdmurray: we provide a default bug title, LP's bug dup proposals should catch on that
[05:06] <pitti> bdmurray: in addition, we can add manual bug patterns
[05:06] <bdmurray> pitti: I don't think lp did then
[05:06] <pitti> then apport will say that it's a dup right away
[05:06] <cjwatson> in fact, bzip2 makes some packages bigger
[05:06] <cjwatson> $ compare-gzip-bzip2 vim-common
[05:06] <cjwatson> gzip: 181406
[05:06] <cjwatson> bzip2: 198831
[05:07] <bdmurray> pitti: if you look at bug 81727 I manually marked a lot of the dupes

[05:08] <geser> Keybuk: is there somewhere an explanation for the different colors in the listings from the Merge-o-Matic?
[05:08] <pitti> bdmurray: hm, it seems that people who file bugs do not actually stop filing it and/or do not look at the dup list
[05:08] <bdmurray> pitti: ah! that explains a lot then
[05:09] <pitti> bdmurray: maybe we need to point this out stronger on the +filebug page
[05:09] <Keybuk> geser: package priorities
[05:09] <geser> Keybuk: and how are the computed?
[05:10] <bdmurray> pitti: that's an idea
[05:16] <geser> Mithrandir: can you increase the timeout for latex-cjk-chinese-arphic (the buildd timed out after 150 minutes of inactivity)?
[05:21] <fabbione> cjwatson: actually.. there is something that doesn't match in #81782
[05:21] <pitti> is there a command which displays me the currently active library search paths?
[05:21] <fabbione> cjwatson: how can it be a missing pci id if the booting kernel in dmesg is still edgy?
[05:21] <fabbione> (and it loads the driver)
[05:21] <cjwatson> fabbione: no idea, maybe some other driver handled it
[05:22] <cjwatson> fabbione: have fun hunting it down :)
[05:22] <cjwatson> that other driver might not have been in the right udebs or something
[05:22] <fabbione> cjwatson: that's ok.i am just trying to understand how you got to the conclusion that it was a pci/id
[05:22] <fabbione> but yes it's possible
[05:22] <cjwatson> I looked at what driver currently handles that pci id and checked modinfo output to see what the drivers in edgy and feisty provided
[05:25] <Mithrandir> geser: no, but infinity can
[05:28] <fabbione> cjwatson: yeps.. r1000 in edgy and r81whatever in feisty
[05:28] <fabbione> cjwatson: now everything matches
[05:28] <fabbione> thanks
[05:29] <cjwatson> np
[05:30] <Keybuk> geser: from the Priority: field in the source package
[05:30] <Keybuk> (and thus the binary)
[05:30] <geser> Keybuk: thanks
[05:33] <elmo> geser: err, are you sure it's actually doing anything?
[05:33] <elmo> 150 minutes of build time on our buildds is a _lot_ of CPU time
[05:34] <geser> \sh build it successfully on his  2xdual core amd64 16GB machine in 3 hours
[05:36] <elmo> ugh, ok
[05:36] <elmo> (then like mithrandir said, infinity is the  man to talk to)
[05:37] <Mithrandir> geser: make it output a dot or something every so often, then.
[05:37] <elmo> oh yeah - or that might be a better idea
[05:44] <cjwatson> Mithrandir: have you released that greasemonkey script for auto-responses to bugs anywhere yet?
[05:44] <Mithrandir> cjwatson: http://err.no/src/lp_stockreplies.user.js
[05:44] <Mithrandir> needs source code hacking to change the replies, but that should be easy enough
[05:44] <dholbach> b!z!r! :)
[05:45] <pitti> cjwatson: seb128 has a version on his people page, too
[05:45] <Mithrandir> dholbach: doesn't integrate well into firefox.

[05:46] <siretart> ok
[05:46] <Mithrandir> dholbach: yes.
[05:46] <Mithrandir> dholbach: as in, storing greasemonkey script in bzr doesn't really fit, since greasemonkey has a directory where stuff's stored, including a metadata-file
[05:47] <dholbach> right... I just thought that people would want to hack on it, change it, etc - where bzr is a better fit
[05:47] <dholbach> but I understand what you're saying

[05:50] <\sh> anyways...going home
[06:25] <BenC> cjwatson: This bzip2 thing for linux-headers-* isn't going to be easy
[06:25] <BenC> cjwatson: It's built by make-kpkg, and there's no way to pass arguments to "dpkg --build" for the package creation
[06:27] <cjwatson> BenC: ah, ok
[06:27] <BenC> cjwatson: feisty+1 I'll do it
[06:33] <maswan> BenC: out of curiosity and not keeping up with stuff, how's systemtap support doing?
[06:36] <BenC> maswan: KPROBES is enabled so the kernels support it (as far as I can tell)
[06:36] <gus_m> s
[06:37] <maswan> BenC: well, it needs DEBUG_INFO too, AIUI
[06:38] <BenC> maswan: We have that too :)
[06:38] <maswan> BenC: ah, ok. just me not keeping up then. :)
[06:38] <BenC> the linux-image-debug packages have the raw -g kernels
[06:38] <maswan> BenC: no, the conf option DEBUG_INFO, bloats the kernel quite a bit
[06:39] <BenC> yes, I know
[06:39] <maswan> BenC: but yes, I did look at that and oprofile works neatly now. thanks. :)
[06:39] <BenC> that's why they aren't installed by default
[06:39] <BenC> DEBUG_INFO does enable -g and disables -fomit-frame-pointer too I think
[06:40] <BenC> like zero runtime change, but helps in backtracing and stuff
[06:41] <maswan> Ah, right. I'm just talking, last thing I looked at was edgy, not current stuff.
[06:41] <maswan> Sorry, will try to look at testing new stuff out too. :)

[09:10] <pinskian> exacly why was ubuntu ppc support withdrawn?
[09:13] <Amaranth> err, it wasn't?
[09:13] <pinskian> it has
[09:13] <pinskian> there isnt even a channel for it now
[09:13] <pinskian> why?
[09:14] <Amaranth> there are still downloads
[09:14] <Amaranth> people just decided having a special channel wasn't worth it, i guess
[09:14] <pinskian> oh
[09:14] <Amaranth> it wasn't an "official" channel or anything
[09:14] <pinskian> but ik mean there's no suppport for it right?
[09:14] <pinskian> cause most of us dumped it for debian as there was no support for it i heard
[09:14] <pinskian> debian ppc
[09:15] <Amaranth> it's just as supported as x86 and amd64
[09:15] <pinskian> not quite as debian ppc's right?
[09:15] <pinskian> had some difficult with it
[09:15] <pinskian> thats when i switched
[09:15] <pinskian> difficulty
[09:16] <Amaranth> it is no more or less supported than debian's ppc builds
[09:16] <Amaranth> if you had problems with the the solution was to file bugs :)
[09:17] <pinskian> i could never get 5 to boot on the imac i had
[09:18] <pinskian> but really without imac im doing much better with ubuntu
[09:19] <Amaranth> 5?
[09:19] <pinskian> basically couldnt get it to run ubuntu on it
[09:19] <Amaranth> *shrug*
[09:19] <pinskian> yeah

[09:51] <ajmitch> Amaranth: no, feature freeze for universe is 22nd on the wiki
[09:51] <ajmitch> Amaranth: that's what we decided as the date for new packages
[09:52] <Mithrandir> Amaranth: note that you should have it in the NEW queue well before then, since the queue sometimes is lagging a little.
[09:52] <Amaranth> oops
[09:52] <Amaranth> not going to happen unless i write 1000 lines of bugfree code in 24 hours then :)
[09:53] <Mithrandir> featurefreeze means it should have the features, not the lack of bugs.
[09:53] <Amaranth> that's not a feature, that's a bug fix! :D
[09:53] <bdmurray> kylem: I was looking at this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI .  Have you looked at it at all?
[09:54] <kylem> bdmurray, no, i've not. reading now.
[09:54] <bdmurray> I says to report acpi bugs against the kernel
[09:55] <kylem> that's right.
[09:56] <bdmurray> okay, then from there do they go to acpi and acpi-support ?
[09:56] <bdmurray> and do the more info requests look good to you?
[09:56] <Mithrandir> no, "acpi" is almost certainly the wrong package.  It's just a small shell script.
[09:57] <bdmurray> Mithrandir: thanks, that's good to know
[09:57] <kylem> yeah, the more info requests are fine. might want to add about asking for their dsdt but that's about it.
[09:57] <kylem> and the dsdt is usually not needed...

[10:43] <Simira> well, not testing anything today. I'm off to bed. G'night
[10:52] <sfllaw> fabbione: Bug 81125 is approved for an upload on Friday.
[10:52] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 81125 in glibc "libc6 update for Edgy fails due to sanity check" [High,Fix committed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/81125
[10:52] <fabbione> sfllaw: ok. you can remind me at the office :)
[10:53] <sfllaw> fabbione: This was merely me following SRU procedure.  I'll likely forget before you do.  :)
[10:56] <geser> mdz: can I ask you a question about the source maintainer mangling we are supposed to do?
[11:08] <seb128> Mithrandir: please accept the gnome-control-center update for herd3, it fixes a bug which wipes the user directory
[11:08] <Mithrandir> ouch
[11:08] <Mithrandir> (looking)
[11:08] <seb128> Novell guys did something stupid
[11:08] <seb128> they add and remove autostart apps from their new shell
[11:09] <elmo> !
[11:09] <seb128> and they do it based on a gconf key with user_dir, gconf_dir, filename
[11:09] <seb128> when gconf_dir is not set they basically rm -rf user_dir
[11:10] <Mithrandir> accepted.
[11:10] <seb128> thank you
[11:10] <Hobbsee> Mithrandir: did kdenetwork never get accepted, or did Riddell not upload it?
[11:11] <LaserJock> ahh, was that the "OMG Control Center ate my ~/"?
[11:11] <ajmitch> seb128: that's disturbing
[11:11] <Mithrandir> Hobbsee: it hasn't hit the unapproved queue, ttbomk
[11:11] <mdke> haha
[11:11] <seb128> LaserJock: that was https://launchpad.net/control-center/+bug/78500
[11:11] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 78500 in control-center "gnome-control-center wipes out /home/user" [Unknown,Unknown]
[11:12] <Mithrandir> seb128: in which case did it do that?
[11:12] <Gman> seb128, sweet jeebus.
[11:13] <Hobbsee> Mithrandir: right, i'll bug the relevant people then
[11:14] <seb128> Mithrandir: when left clicking on a shell item and using "remove from the startup list" if the program was not to the startup list
[11:14] <seb128> or maybe even if it was, I'm not sure sure now
[11:15] <seb128> (if you don't have gnome-main-menu installed)
[11:15] <Mithrandir> I wonder why it'd add the -r
[11:16] <seb128> (they shipped the gconf schemas with gnome-main-menu, but not with libslab which is used by the shell)
[11:16] <seb128> well, they don't call "rm -rf"
[11:16] <seb128> they call gnome_vfs_xfer_delete_list on the dir
[11:16] <seb128> which does the same job :/
[11:17] <Mithrandir> it should call something which tries to remove files, not directories.
[11:17] <Mithrandir> IMO
[11:17] <sladen> mjg59: remind me again what exactly the amd64 framebuffer usplash grayscale issue is---it's just not possible to program the palette entries over 16 ?
[11:17] <seb128> that code should probably be changed to use delete_uri on the item rather
[11:17] <seb128> Mithrandir: yeah, I was thinking the same
[11:17] <seb128> I'll fix it probably
[11:17] <sladen> bug #67545 really needs a good answer lif [ "$HAL_PROP_LAPTOP_PANEL_ACCESS_METHOD" = "sony" ] ; then
[11:18] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 67545 in usplash "usplash appears black and white (grayscale) on amd64" [Low,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/67545
[11:18] <mjg59> sladen: No clue, don't care. It's going to stop using vga16fb.
[11:18] <sladen>         # echo "{1..8}" > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
[11:18] <sladen> cack
[11:18] <Mithrandir> sladen: it's using the vga framebuffer for various reasons.

[11:18] <sladen>         echo "$((value + 1))" > $HAL_PROP_LINUX_ACPI_PATH
[11:25] <sladen> "various"---suspend related, setup related?  What can I shove in the bug report.
[11:38] <sladen> Mithrandir: ^^can you remember any of the reasons?
[11:38] <Mithrandir> sladen: yes.
[11:39] <sladen> Mithrandir: "with specificity" ?
[11:42] <sladen> (other than the contents of the changelog;  which shows the change to bogl/vga16fb, but not the reason)
[11:42] <Mithrandir> the current x86emu in the usplash source tree doesn't work correctly on amd64
[11:45] <sladen> Mithrandir: thanks, that'll do, ta
[11:48] <elmo> does anyone know if lvm has to be a module to do root-lvm?
[11:51] <Hobbsee> Mithrandir: ping?
[11:51] <Mithrandir> Hobbsee: You sent me a contentless ping.  This is a contentless pong.  Please provide a bit of information about what you want and I will respond when I am around.
[11:51] <Hobbsee> Mithrandir: bleh.
[11:51] <bddebian> Don't you love those? :-)
[11:51] <Hobbsee> yep :)
[11:51] <Hobbsee> particularly when i use them myself
[11:52] <Hobbsee> just not automatically
[11:52] <TheMuso> Hobbsee: hehe
[11:52] <Hobbsee> that tells me *nothing*
[11:52] <tkamppeter> cjwatson, ping
[11:53] <cbx33> hey guys
[11:53] <TheMuso> Hey cbx33.
[11:53] <cbx33> hi TheMuso
[11:54] <cbx33> who knows much about DES here?
[11:55] <TheMuso> I'd say nothing because I don't even know what DES is.
[12:01] <ogra> Mithrandir, i have two fixes for pulseaudio i'd like to upload, debdiff is here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/pulse.debdiff
[12:02] <seb128> Mithrandir: I uploaded an another gnome-control-center which uses g_unlink on a file rather than gnome_vfs_xfer_delete_list on an uri, that can go after herd3 though, the previous version already fixed the problem, the new one is just cleaner
[12:02] <cbx33> ogra, having problems with the DES
[12:03] <ogra> cbx33, did you try to switch to python-crypto ?
[12:03] <cbx33> using the Crypto.DES
[12:03] <ogra> it should offer the same functionallity
[12:03] <cbx33> they encrypt to different ciphers
[12:03] <elmo> what on earth are you using DES for in this day and age?
[12:03] <cbx33> >>> des=DesCipher('01234567')
[12:03] <cbx33> >>> des.encrypt("01234567")
[12:03] <cbx33> '\x16\xdbs\xceb\xd5\xb7q'
[12:03] <cbx33> >>> des=DES.new('01234567')
[12:03] <cbx33> >>> des.encrypt("01234567")
[12:03] <cbx33> '\xc5\n\xd0(\xc6\xda\x98\x00'
[12:03] <cbx33> >>>
[12:03] <cbx33> vnc authentication
[12:03] <ogra> even though the sngle functions might differ
[12:04] <ogra> elmo, there is a vnc wrapper cbx33 wants to use in the thin-client-manager ... seems vnc needs DES
[12:05] <ogra> the vnc wrapper shipped its own DES code, stolen fron an at&t source with a wonky license ... so he needs to reimplement it in python-ltsp ...
[12:05] <ogra> *from
[12:05] <ogra> err
[12:05] <ogra> *python-crypto
[12:05] <cbx33> but it's not giving the same results
[12:05] <cbx33> and I don;t know enough about DES to understand why
[12:06] <cbx33> I found another project who nicked the same code
[12:06] <cbx33> that's 3 projects
[12:06] <ogra> that doesnt make the license more valid
[12:07] <cbx33> no
[12:07] <cbx33> just funny is all
[12:07] <cbx33> I wasn't using it to validate
[12:08] <cbx33> so any DES experts here?

[03:07] <mikolynx> hi
[03:13] <mikolynx> sparkly vampires ....
[03:24] <mikolynx> nobody?
[03:24] <bazhang> mikolynx, have a support question?
[04:05] <mikolynx> hllo
[04:36]  * isaac_ looks up, grabs the room title #xubuntu-offtopic from the channel banner, tips his hat and fades back into the shadows.
[04:45]  * isaac_ brushes the dust off his feet and wanders in.
[04:45] <isaac_> Nobody in #xubuntu-offtopic.  Is it slow enough in here to ask non-tech-support questions right now?
[04:48] <bazhang> perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic or #kubuntu-offtopic
[04:49] <isaac_> I remember that nick.  You're the most consistently helpful person in #ubuntu.
[04:49] <isaac_> And........ you seem to be in all the ubuntu related chatrooms.  So you already saw my idle curiosity question about Xubuntu-next.
[05:08] <polimatyu> Am still trying to figure out how to get my menus back.  Have restarted xfce4-panel, but that doesn't do it.  Can anybody help?
[05:09] <Dracari> youve been here all day on and off asking atm if no one answers they are busy or Just dont know.
[05:10] <polimatyu> Um, I've only been on for 2 minutes, and it's been hours since I was last on.  Perhaps there's someone that can help me now?
[05:10] <polimatyu> I certainly wouldn't know if I didn't ask.
[05:10] <hexdump_> hi all!
[05:10] <hexdump_> gotta lil question here...
[05:11] <hexdump_> I've setup ext4 filesystem on one of my drives at /dev/sdb and I try to mount using sudo mount /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 and I'm unable to.  Is there some information that could help me find out why
[05:12] <Dracari> polimatyu can always try #ubuntu not to dis anyone here but.. those at #ubuntu are more active than i've seen in the past here
[05:13] <polimatyu> Dracari: Would they help with an XFCE issue?
[05:13] <isaac_> hexdump_ what happens when you try?  Does it spit out an error message?
[05:15] <Dracari> Doesnt hurt to ask them polimatyu
[05:15] <Dracari> and im not 100% sure but there maybe a channel Just for xfce
[05:15] <hexdump_> issac:  yeah it's non it /etc/fstab
[05:15] <hexdump_> could I just add it/
[05:18] <hexdump_> issac_:  I got it
[05:18] <bazhang> !panels
[05:18] <hexdump_> issac_:  but only by using palimpsest disk utility
[05:18] <bazhang> polimatyu, ^^
[05:19]  * isaac_ points hexdump_ at bazhang.
[05:19] <hexdump_> issac_:  alright cool thanks
[05:20] <isaac_> I was wondering about those panels...... I was running the live cd and somehow deleted all the panels, couldn't do one single thing.
[05:20] <hexdump_> bazhang:  do you know how I can mount a drive in linux?  I tried mount /dev/sdb and no go
[05:21] <hexdump_> ah ha I know why
[05:21] <hexdump_> duhh
[05:21] <bazhang> hexdump_, automatically every time?
[05:21] <hexdump_> bazhang:  yeah but I had to umount format then setup ext4 on an IDE
[05:21] <bazhang> hexdump_, check the uuid?
[05:21] <bazhang> !blkid
[05:22] <hexdump_> bazhang:  I was overlooking something simple.  I wasn't mounting by the Label
[05:22] <bazhang> hexdump_, fixed?
[05:22] <hexdump_> bazhang:  yeah I was overlooking something very simple
[05:22] <bazhang> nice :)
[05:23] <hexdump_> bazhang:  but I'm really not 100 percent sure about everything I did
[05:24] <hexdump_> I don't like doing things without knowing the detals
[05:24] <hexdump_> details
[05:55] <polimatyu> ubottu: !panels
[05:56] <polimatyu> That info is dreadfully out-of-date.
[05:57] <polimatyu> I tried what was suggested, and it made the situation WORSE!
[05:59] <polimatyu> Fortunately, I figured out enough that I was able to get back a working approximation of what I had before.  But this would be devastating for most users.
[06:02] <gottto> I make a copy of .config/xfce4/panel just in case things get borked...
[06:04] <polimatyu> I'll do that in the future.  But the linked page doesn't suggest that, for instance.
[09:23] <daniel__> can anyone help me finding the lubuntu forums?
[09:23] <daniel__> i am new to lubuntu and these irc channels
