17:19.29sontekZelut: and you aren't allowed to upgrade to sp1?
17:19.59Zelutsontek: don't think so.. at least our current setup and courseware does not use it so it might introduce other issues.
17:22.33sontekZelut: and why didn't yast -i work?
17:24.01Zelutsontek: because it says that repo-something.xml is not signed, can't verify it. do you want to continue.
17:24.07Zelutthat screws up a script
17:26.52mheathHow is it that a bug reported, with 4 people replying to confirm, can sit for months without anyone changing the importance or assigning it to anyone?
17:28.28mheathhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/152187
17:30.37mheathIt's received so little attention that it's obsolete; people are confirming it for newer kernel versions
17:32.05*** part/#ubuntu-us-ut bachisanerd (n=Benjamin@qwest-cc-ip196.scinternet.net)
17:33.32Zelutsounds like we need more people working on bugs vs simply complaining about them.
17:33.44Zelutmheath: you should have attended the US Teams bug training mon & wed
17:34.08mheathHeh, I go to school in the morning, and work at night.
17:34.44mheathZelut: How is this stuff maintained? I fixed it on my own system, with a custom kernel. I could submit a patch. I thought it was traditional, however, for a maintainer to flag something as 'we care about this' first.
17:36.44mheathZelut: and regardless, though I _am_ willing to help, I hate that mentality
17:37.00mheathThat "don't complain about bugs unless your willing to do all the work to fix them" mentality leads to bad software.
17:40.36ZelutI'm not saying that is the mentality, just commenting on how we do have a real need for more contributors in the bug system.
17:40.43Zelutif you have a patch, submit it on that bug. its ok
17:41.44Zelutalso helps to set the bug status to confirmed, which I've done.
17:50.31sontekI see it the same as voting
17:50.39sontekif you didn't vote you can't bitch!

18:04.32mheathZelut: I guess I'm confused about the way those bugs are maintained.
18:04.42mheathZelut: Is it OK for the 'normal' person to mark it as confirmed then?
18:04.55Zelutmheath: yes.  we had a discussion about it in our community bug training last nite.
18:04.56mheathI'm used to bug tracking where it was one or two specific maintainers jobs to do that.
18:05.03Zelutmheath: if you have the same bug someone else does, confirm it.
18:05.08mheathAh. Hmm.
18:05.45Zelutmheath: things you can help do to push the bug process forward.  confirm them (or change status from New) and also make sure the appropriate package is assigned.  both things anyone can participate in.
18:06.59mheathHey, anyone here particularly good at web development that can provide some quick advice on something?
18:07.06mheathZelut: Ah, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
18:11.49mheathI'm looking for the best way to replace the "Calendar" and "Uniform of the Day" with something non-table on this site: http://www.utahseacadets.org/pom/pom_current.html
18:11.57mheathBut still have it render nicely / similarly
18:12.16herlomheath: do fortune
18:12.34clutchmmZelut: what can I do to speed up this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/162336
18:13.10mheathherlo: Uh?
18:13.52Zelutclutchmm: probably try to find the package that is responsible and get it assigned to something more specific than "Ubuntu"
18:14.33Zelutclutchmm: it might be worth dropping into #ubuntu-bugs and share the bug link for advice on cleanup
18:14.47herlomheath: fortune is a little bash script that will let tell you a fortune
18:15.05herlomheath: there are php variants that you can use
18:15.20clutchmmZelut: how do I find out what package is screwing up? it happened after a clean install of gutsy
18:15.45clutchmmsince then I have installed 3 other sound drivers and nothing changed
18:15.49mheathherlo: I know what fortune is, I fail to see how its relevant, or if your joking how it is funny :P
18:17.54herlomheath: you wanted something to replace your uniform of the day, thought fortune would be perfect, and no, its not a joke
18:18.07Zelutclutchmm: maybe something in here will help you find it? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage
18:22.00clutchmmZelut: I am in the bugs channel and when I entered to link I got :(11:18:10 AM) ubotu: Launchpad bug 162336 in ubuntu "system sounds not working" [Undecided,New]

19:45.05GateOK

20:05.03herlois there an easy way to get it to boot from a usb device?
20:05.48UtahViperherlo:  morning
20:06.09herloUtahViper: hey!
20:06.11Zelutherlo: boot long term, or boot the installer?
20:06.13herlobtw, its afternoon...
20:06.17herloZelut: installer
20:07.21Zelutherlo: zcat boot.img > /dev/usb-device out to make a usb network installer..

20:11.17herloI wanted to do it from my own hard drive
20:11.25herlocan't do that?
20:12.09Zelutherlo: you can do it from your own hard drive if you share the installer contents over http from your machine.
20:12.27Zelutherlo: doesn't support nfs/drive installation from the network installer

20:46.45YorokobiZelut, ping
20:46.57ZelutYorokobi: pong
20:47.06YorokobiZelut, in irssi, how does one effectively ojoin a channel or op themselves if they have oper privs on the server?
20:50.43herloYorokobi: /op #channel username
20:51.00Yorokobiherlo, for yourself?
20:51.14YorokobiI know of /mode +o user (/op user)
20:51.42YorokobiIn other words, if you're not op'd on join, how do you /op yourself?
20:52.49sontekYorokobi: you type /msg chanserv op #channel username
20:53.04YorokobiThere's no chanserv on my work's IRC server :/
20:53.31sontekYorokobi: you'll have to look at the documentation for the ircd you use then
20:53.41herloYorokobi: /op works
20:53.54herlo<PROTECTED>
20:54.03herloYorokobi: that's if there is not a chanserv user...
20:54.06YorokobiThey've been using /ojoin to but irssi doesn't offer that command
20:54.24Zelutatoponce: any ideas for Yorokobi?
20:54.32ZelutYorokobi: I haven't been using irssi lately so I'm a bit rusty
20:55.17atoponceYorokobi: you need chanserv access to op on a channel usally
20:55.19YorokobiNo worries, this is new ground for several of us here
20:55.31atoponce/msg chanserv op <nick>
20:55.43sontekchanserv is specific to the ircd
20:55.44atoponce/msg chanserv op -<nick>
20:55.46atoponceto deop
20:55.51sonteknot every ircd has a chanserv
20:56.02atoponcei'm assuming freenode
20:56.02YorokobiThis one does not
20:56.09sontekatoponce: he said his companies server
20:56.15atoponcemeh
20:56.19Yorokobiyeah
20:56.22Yorokobimeh
20:56.25atoponce:)
20:56.42sontekYorokobi: are you guys running unreal? or which one did you decide to go with?
20:56.57atoponcethen, usually is the case that you need to be the first one in the channel, which grants you with ops, and don't lose it
20:57.03atoponceit's best if you have services running
20:57.42Yorokobiatoponce, that's one of the ways we talked about but it takes a little coordination--something I won't give our developers a lot of credit for.
20:57.54atoponceheh
20:58.09YorokobiLooks like we're using hyperion/ircd-hybrid
20:58.19sontekYorokobi: well, if a few people have oper access on the server you can op that way
20:58.56sontekhyperion is what freenode uses, you can setup services on it
20:58.59YorokobiThe problem is, nobody in the channel has +o
20:59.01sontekand get chanserv
20:59.10atoponceyeah. it's best to have services running
20:59.12Yorokobisontek, there's been talk. Lot's of talk. :)
20:59.19atoponceYorokobi: what os is it running on
20:59.29YorokobiRHEL AS3 prolly
20:59.31sontekYorokobi: thats fine, oper is not +o, its admin on the ircd itself
21:00.05sontekYorokobi: and you can also add chanserv to channels that don't already have it (and have people in it)
21:00.08sontekand then op them there
21:00.10Yorokobisontek, there are users set up as ops in the ircd config but the person in question can't op himself and isn't op'd on join
21:00.43Yorokobithough he is an operator per the config
21:01.02Yorokobianyway, fun exercise. Thanks for the assistance everyone.
21:01.03sontek#hyperion might be able to help you more than I can
21:01.11sontekI use unreal
