| 12:52.37 | ebzzry | Prior to the update, no other things were done. |
| 12:52.38 | ebzzry | Hmm. |
| 12:52.46 | ebzzry | Why? |
| 12:54.08 | ebzzry | (i'm currently restoring from backups) im still interested to know why. |
| 12:56.00 | Hurrian | you used dist-upgrade? |
| 12:56.07 | ebzzry | ya |
| 12:56.12 | Hurrian | probably upgraded to a broken lib from some repo |
| 12:56.29 | ebzzry | hmm. technically, i used aptitude safe-upgrade |
| 12:56.54 | Hurrian | aptitude, even if it is smarter, is not the software servicing tool for maemo |

| 12:58.53 | r00t|home | so you found it impossible to fix without restoring? |
| 12:59.16 | ebzzry | the phone's connectivity to the internet is critical, so i needed it backup up. i am curious what happened, because i will reproduce it. |
| 12:59.43 | ebzzry | r00t|home: i did not find it impossible. it was just that i had constraints. |
| 12:59.59 | r00t|home | good |
| 13:00.17 | ebzzry | if i can find what went wrong, then i will redo it. |
| 13:00.23 | ebzzry | redo what borked it. |
| 13:01.21 | ebzzry | i was about to ask hurrian what source does he have for saying that apt is broken on maemo5 |
| 13:02.51 | ebzzry | using gui tools for updating is time consuming. having to wait for fam for updates drives me nuts. |
| 13:03.06 | ebzzry | do you have insights on the issue? |
| 13:03.56 | r00t|home | nothing, sorrry |
| 13:04.10 | r00t|home | fam is horrible indeed... i wonder how it managed to be so slow... |
| 13:04.11 | ebzzry | ok. nevertheless, you raised a good question |

| 13:04.45 | ebzzry | i do not know with others, but i find it impossbible for ham to have a way to select multiple items for one operation. |
| 13:05.12 | r00t|home | and that, combines with the slowness, is fatal |
| 13:05.15 | ebzzry | with fam, whenever i do something, it performs updates. unfortunately, i do not have a spectacular connection |
| 13:05.31 | r00t|home | also, having to answer that stupid dialog for any 3rd-party package... |
| 13:06.07 | ebzzry | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:06.33 | ebzzry | when i upgrade installed packages, i use apt-get or apitude. until earlier, i have been using apt-get or aptitude to upgrade the whole system. |
| 13:06.55 | ebzzry | i also do not know how to disable the annoying blinking icon that shows in the status area when updates to packages are available |
| 13:08.00 | r00t|home | iirc i read you can kill the update-checking thing... (consider possible waste of bandwidth, too) |

| 18:31.16 | DocScrutinizer | anyway, read man page of bash carefully, it has all the needed info to clear up things IIRC |
| 18:31.42 | DocScrutinizer | and btw you probably don't want to make bash your default user shell |
| 18:32.17 | DocScrutinizer | the age old rumour that this may break your boot still wasn't publicly disapproved |
| 18:33.30 | DocScrutinizer | all that claimed they did it without trouble finally turned out to not *truly* have replaced messybox by bash, for user |
| 18:33.46 | MrPingu | well I rebooted atleast more than once :P |
| 18:34.03 | DocScrutinizer | and your user account will come up with bash? |
| 18:34.12 | MrPingu | Yes ;) |
| 18:34.28 | DocScrutinizer | it's basically not bash itself but the messybox tools that will break when replaced |
| 18:34.33 | DocScrutinizer | AFAIK |
| 18:34.50 | DocScrutinizer | MrPingu: so your bash is in /etc/shells ? |
| 18:35.12 | DocScrutinizer | and /bin/sh points to bash? |
| 18:35.59 | DocScrutinizer | there's quite a number of ways to fail one way or the other, to either of both sides |

| 18:45.45 | DocScrutinizer | which it clearly isn't meant to do |

| 18:50.03 | DocScrutinizer | what I said above, yeah |
