15:28.23sontekZelut: Hey, I was wondering about Ubuntu upgrades
15:28.34sontekZelut: does it supports LTS->LTS
15:28.40Zelutsontek: yep, works great.
15:29.03Zelutsontek: so, for 8.04, you can upgrade directly from 7.10 or 6.06

16:39.21Zelutnearn: I finally found a CDR and have -beta-2 image burned for Gentoo if you're free later.
16:41.37tgelterZelut, giving gentoo a go are ya?
16:45.55Zeluttgelter: nearn insisted he can help me make it work.  I've tried multiple times in the past with no luck.. we'll see.
16:46.11Zeluttgelter: (and it'll be on a student machine.)
16:50.33tgelterZelut: wanting to use it for the experience or do you have a particular use for it?
17:06.37undertakingyouSo, has anyone noticed some serious speed issues with archive.ubuntu.com?
17:46.20*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut jnbek (n=jnbek@72.8.114.252)
17:51.47Zelutundertakingyou: I guess I haven't, but it might still be under heavy load post-upgrade
17:51.59Zelutundertakingyou: I'd suggest us.archive.ubuntu.com or even better mirrors.xmission.com
17:54.25Zeluttgelter: any time I've tried it I've been unable to get a GUI attached due to insanely long compile times.  nearn insists it should only take a few hours so I'm putting it to the test.
18:00.41fizzheh, when nearn helped me with my gentoo install it took a few days. (not full time mind you)
18:01.13nearnyeah, you had some stupid flag issue that was not wanting to resolve by using the conf file.
18:03.27fizzcompile time was more than a few hours though, for sure.
18:04.45fizztierra was saying his last install took about a day to get to the spot where he had a gui.
18:04.59fizzthat was with a fast machine too.
19:10.14Zelutfizz: again, doesn't seem worth it to me.  I can have ubuntu installed in ~10min and start working.
19:46.07fizzZelut: i wholeheartedly agree.

21:11.25grempushey guys
21:11.48grempusany of you know the best way to create a script that will make a bunch of directories on a remote server?
21:12.18Zelutgrempus: do these directories need any particular names?
21:12.25grempusyeah I have a list of names
21:12.34synicover ftp? ssh?
21:12.37grempusftp
21:13.26Zelutover ftp? who knows.. I haven't used ftp in ages
21:13.43synichttp://docs.python.org/lib/ftp-objects.html
21:13.45Zelutftp is trouble man
21:13.50synicit would be cake in python
21:13.59synichttp://docs.python.org/lib/module-ftplib.html
21:14.39grempusI'm unfortunately not very familiar with python
21:15.22synicwhat does this list look like?  Where on the remote server do they need to be created?
21:15.28grempusjust the root
21:15.41grempusI have a mirrordir script that mirrors a bunch of folders
21:15.44*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut Technoviking (n=dbasinge@ubuntu/member/MikeB-)
21:15.50grempusbut it won't create the top level folder if it doesn't exist
21:15.52grempusit just fails
21:16.28synicso you have the list of directories in a file?
21:16.48grempuswell I have a list in the old ones that I could copy basically anywhere
21:17.06synichuh?
21:17.18grempusin the mirrordir scripts I have a list of all the directories I need
21:17.22grempusthat I could put basically anywhere
21:17.35synicI don't know what mirrordir is.  
21:17.42grempusit's just like rsync
21:18.26synicmkdir test && cd test && cat /path/to/listofdirs | xargs -i mkdir -p {}
21:18.35syniclftp ftp://user@host/somedir
21:18.38synicmirror -R
21:19.28grempuswhat's that?
21:20.51Zelutnearn: ping - teach me the ways of gentoo
21:30.41fizzatoponce: i still don't see an icon! jerk! :)
21:39.32atoponcefizz: i have the button ready, just don't know how to add it to the page
