00:01.17mheathEvening all.
00:01.30mheathIs anyone aware of a comprehensive Icon list?
00:01.41mheathThat is, a list that says all of the icons an icon set must contain to be 'complete'?

02:20.41mheathSo, question.....
02:20.57mheathWhy would apt-get upgrade be holding back things for me, when they install fine if you try to update them individually?
02:21.06mheathIt's holding back ubuntu-desktop and gnome-panel...
02:21.30mheathBut when I upgrade those manually, it lets me, and I see no conflits

04:07.53mheathI'm facing some nasty issues in the design of my System Restore program.
04:08.59mheathThe only 'good' way of backing up already-installed packages is by backing up the original .deb's
04:09.12mheathwhich may not be available
04:10.41mheathdpkg also isn't the best about keeping track of configuration files.
04:11.04mheathIt's configuration file management stuff is limited, and isn't required - Developers are, infact, encouraged in many situations to just code the configuration file handling into the installation scripts.

18:46.35Yorokobianybody know how to emulate an HTTP POST via SSL on the command line without stunnel?
19:01.37Yorokobinm, wget supports post and SSL
19:22.20mheathHmm, this backup process is going to be time consuming if I do it properly
19:22.26mheathWhat I'm looking at right now is this:
19:22.42mheath1) Get a list of all installed packages (easily doable with dpkg)
19:23.14mheath2) Collect all the .deb's via the cache or apt, or prompt the user (/ warn them) to get it some other way
19:23.39mheath3) Un-ar the .deb's and control.tar.gz's to readout the conf files
19:24.12mheath4) Move all these .deb files and the conf files to a specified backup directory
19:24.52mheath5) Write out a small metadata .xml with info about the backup
19:25.09mheathStep 3 seems really time consuming
19:25.23mheathThough .deb isn't compressed, the control.tar.gz is
19:26.41mheathDoes anyone have any suggestions?

22:59.36sontekZelut: pong
23:01.24Zelutsontek: what does 'lsb_release -d' show on your suse boxen?
23:01.48sontekwe've covered this before! ;)
23:02.05ZelutI know. I forgot
23:02.08sontekDescription:    openSUSE 10.3 (i586)
23:03.31Zelutso 'lsb_release | egrep "(Red Hat)|Fedora|SUSE' will work on your machine?
23:03.47ZelutI thought I updated this but I never commited my changes via bzr :(
23:04.37sontekif you put -d on there and close it with " instead of ' it will :P
23:05.07Zelutthat's what I meant
23:06.12sontekYou could do lsb_release -d | awk '{ print $2 }'
23:06.41sontekor $2 $3 for distro and version
23:07.22Zelutjust need the distro to see if I can use useradd properly or if I have to use the crippled adduser
23:10.27sontekyeah, that awk should work
23:10.32sontekbut the grep would too
23:26.07*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut tapH20guru (n=tapH20gu@208.51.73.197)
23:44.22Zeluthow do I turn off mouse support in vim?
23:44.28Zelutnot sure how I got it turned on, but its on
