ivokssh you are from germany, right?10:48
\shivoks: yes10:49
ivoksyou guys love ISDN there, as much as we love it here10:49
ivoks:)10:49
ivoksi don't know how to set up ISDN on 2.6 kernels :(10:49
\shivoks: the last time i used isdn was 199910:50
ivokshehe10:50
ivoksi never used it... but i have one client that has dial-up system10:51
ivoksand i can't get it work with 2.610:51
\shwith kernel 2.2 and isdn4linux and a leased isdn line :) so don't ask me about isdn...ping ogra..he's an ISDN fetishist ;)10:51

siretartivoks: I read that hoarys kernel has some avm binary modules shipped. should work with them11:25
siretartivoks: if you cannot or don't want to use them, you would need the misdn kernel patch for kernel 2.611:26
ivoksheh... then it will be misdn11:26
ivoksi used manna before11:26
ivoksit loaded hisax modul which detected my ISDN card11:27
ivoksnow, hisax doesn't detect that same ISDN card11:27
siretartyes, but is hisax working on 2.6 kernels at all? I read that is was not, (or at least is deprecated)11:28
siretartivoks: btw, I tried out wifi-radar. I had problems on my madwifi, when I try to connect, i don't get an ip address11:31
ograivoks, i use isdn if its necessary (i.e. if i just moved house....) which wasnt the case since a year or so.... and i helped testing the binary AVM drivers for hoary, thats all i have to do with isdn11:31
ograivoks, you dont want to use hiasx with a 2.6 kernel11:32
siretartivoks: so I had an iwevent running and inspected what was going on: each time the card got associated to an AP, it lost that association immediatly. I think thats a madwifi specific issue, will need to debug wifi-radar to see what it does.11:32
siretartI also had a look at the wpa functionality: it requires the user to have a working /etc/wpasupplicant.conf. Then it could work (haven't tested it myself, but that approach could work)11:34
ivoksok11:37
ivoksthen i will use 2.4 kernels for that for some time...11:37
ivoksthanks guys11:37
ivokssiretart: on ipw2200 works ok11:38
siretartivoks: I had the chance to let an ipw2100 user try it out. there I didn't see that problem11:42
siretartivoks: there was another one: when connecting to an AP: wifi-radar spit out an error message "Address could not be assigned" or something11:43
siretartbut the interface had an ip, and connection was there :)11:44
ivoks?11:46
siretartstrange, I was confused, too ;)11:48

Mithrandirnot pilsener and such, but real beer is fine.12:27
MithrandirIPA was developed to withstand the sea travel to India.12:28
\shMithrandir: what is "real beer"?12:28

leslievSeriously: I'll look into it. It can't be too hard.12:28
leslievI know a guy who does imports and exports into Africa12:28
Mithrandirogra: it _really_ depends.  The pilseners are sad and shitty.12:28
ograMithrandir, i have no idea what was in the glass :) but it tasted very good12:29
\shlesliev: u read about the prices for biltong here in germany...it's ridiculus12:29

siretartlesliev: when I get home, I will integrate them into sopwith and prepare an upload12:45
leslievsiretart: cool! If it would not be too much trouble, could you write a little howto as you do it?01:00
leslievOr record your keys with screen or something and let me have that?01:00
leslievI am eager to be able to mod packages and reading the docs is taking so looong!01:01
leslievsh: I'm sure I can send you some biltong. I'll find out how to do it over the weekend.01:04
leslievemail me your shipping address: leslie@camary.co.za01:08
siretartlesliev: when I get home, yes. For now, you could look at the debian docs. try to dpkg-source -x package.dsc file, check out the files in debian/ and try to undestand them. the debian new maintainer guide should have all information you need (though it may be quite a big lecture ;))01:10
leslievI am half-way with the maint guide. It tells you to read a whole lot more docs. I'll read more tonight.01:11
siretartyou don't need to understand everything in the docs. they are more a reference than a tutorial or howto. but its good to know where to look if necessary01:12
siretartperhaps I should write a wikipage PackageModificationHowto..01:12
leslievYAY!01:13
leslievI got stuck where you add files to a package - I ran debuild and it complained about that01:14
\shlesliev: don't worry about it :) next year I want to visit again ZA...so I will take some with me then :)01:14
leslievsh: ok ;-)01:15
leslievIf you modify files I think it builds a diff package, but you can't add files01:16
ogralesliev, you can....01:16
ogralesliev, they way is just not easy or obvious01:17

=== thesaltydog [~yoshi@host194-61.pool8023.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-motu
leslievwell *that* needs to be in some doc01:22
leslievIn fact, a usefule package modder's howto will need to include "making a new package", "changing and submitting a package" and, if different, "adding to an submitting a package"01:23
leslievAlso: "repackaging an rpm" would be nice01:25
siretartlesliev: perhaps you could provide a very raw template page, with the structure of the you would expect. I could then fill information and references where to look01:26
\shlesliev: adding to a package is done via upstream normally ;)01:26
siretartlesliev: you can convert .rpms to .deb with alien01:26
leslievBut not always - .desktop file case in point01:26
\shlesliev: oh...those things are easy01:26
leslievAlien works but you still need to play with things to make a proper deb package01:27
leslievI'll do the template, good idea. Where in the wiki should I put it?01:27
leslievAlien doesn't seem to do dependencies properly. I suppose it can't.01:31
leslievIt also seems to trip up on install scripts a bit01:31
siretartlesliev: I would suggest under "MOTU" - Useful Links for MOTU's01:31
leslievok, I'll start the page over the weekend01:32
siretartno, alien cannot consider dependencies correctly. you would have to repackage it to do it properly.01:32
siretartgreat! :)01:32

bradbLathiat: interesting points about /malone. i feel the same way.08:31
Lathiatthe 2 options that are there arent so bad,but there should be a clear "search" option08:31
bradbLathiat: when you come to /malone, what are you expecting to do?08:31
Lathiatbradb: search for my bug to see if its already reported08:32
tsengwhen i come there i am expecting to click something like My Bugs and see the listing08:32
tsengwhich works, but the wording of it seems odd08:33
bradblike bugzilla eh08:33
tseng#08:33
tseng# Assigned Bug Reports - retrieve reports on bugs assigned to a specific person08:33
Lathiatalso under file bug, it says something about "CCmanually" if its a private bug, but theres no option on that page or CCing and thebutton says 'Add' which indicates to me that thats the last step08:34
tsengi almost always want bugs assigned to *me*08:34
tsengwhich is what it gives you08:34
tsengbut the wording is small08:34
Lathiatyeh that page shows yours by default08:34
Lathiatwith a search08:34
Lathiatthat should be worded better08:34
Lathiatthe actual interface seems to be pretty cool tho08:34
tseng"If you're not sure, start here."08:35
tsengthis is almost certainly wrong for "file a bug"08:35
Lathiatyeh you should be searching08:35
tsengin an ideal world everyone will search first thing08:35
Lathiatperhaps enter the package nameand view recent reports,or popular reports08:36
tsengboth would be useful08:36
Lathiatwith the option to search further08:36
Lathiatalso when i login i specify 'lathiat@bur.st'08:37
Lathiatbut i seem indications about 'lathiat'08:37
Lathiatlike on the mybugs page, the deault assignee is 'lathiat'08:37
bradbah, yes08:37
tsengah we have a motu group now08:38
bradbwhat about, say, https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/+bugs ? what are your thoughts on that page?08:40
tsengoh wow08:40
tsenghang on08:40
tsengi did view distro bugs, right08:40
tsengit shows me a big list08:40
tsengi see a bug that belongs to me, and click it08:40
tsengi have NFC how to assign it to myself08:41
tsengdo i "subscribe"?08:41
Lathiator "edit bug details"08:41
bradbthat's really confusing, indeed08:41
tsengedit bug doesnt help08:41
bradbi'd say the same thing if i were you guys ;)08:42
Lathiathehe08:42
=== Lathiat ponders if editing bugs is the best idea
tsengcan i get a clue? :P08:42
tsengbradb: but dude i like that second view much better08:43
Lathiatlike, people could mess with bugs,and updates really shouldbe in comments no?08:43
tsengbradb: as a maintainer08:43
bradbtseng: gimme an example bug and let's walk through it08:43
tseng102808:43
bradbor rather, you walk me through it08:43
bradbok, 102808:43
tsengok, i told you how i got here08:43
tsengfrom there I clicked edit bug08:43
tsengand am now "stuck"08:43
bradbtseng: look at the "Needs fixing in..." part of the page08:44
tsengsee it08:44
=== Arrogance [~aks@CPE00112f96b894-CM001225423850.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
bradbtseng: talk to me about that part of the page08:45
tsengok so its not obvious to me that that part of the page has an "action"08:45
tsengall the actions are, obviously, in the action bar08:45
tsengassigning a bug is a common action i would want to do08:46
=== imightbegiant [~imightbeg@ilamp-in-417.TIS.CWRU.Edu] has joined #ubuntu-motu
tsengthe link "ubuntu tomboy" in no way suggests to me that its the way to assign it to myself :)08:47
bradbme neither :P08:47
tsengonce you tip me off to that08:47
tsengputting my name in the right box is simple enough08:47
tsengbut saving changes should put me back on the bug08:48
tsengnot drop me back on the edit page08:48
tsengactually, usability wise im not even sure *how* to get back now08:49
tsengclicking 1028 on the breadcrumb goes back to the page im on again08:49
bradbit's confusing yes, because there's no link back to the other page08:49
tsengexactly08:50
tsengusing browser back is broken to the average user08:50
bradbi'm creating a branch right now to make some usability improvements to that page08:50
tsenggreat :D08:50
tsengone problem with usability testing and geeks is.. now that i know how to assign, it will seem like less and less of a problem as time passes08:51
tsengi imagine thats where you guys are at looking at this thing every day08:51
bradbtseng: imagine how difficult it is for /me/ to understand what goes through the heads of non-Malone maintainers when they use Malone :P08:52
tsengi can :)08:52
bradbthat's why feedback like this is so intriguing and informative08:52
tsengok so i hit back to 1028, and then tried Bugs from the breadcrumb08:52
tsengsystem error, dunno if you can reproduce it08:53
bradbi can reproduce it08:53
=== bradb checks if there's a bug already filed on that; there might be
tsengok now i went to bug 103508:54
tsengit belongs to me also.08:54
tsengthe first report (summary?) has a ton of debugging output08:54
tsengthat little Needs fixing in box isnt even visible08:54
tsenguntill i scroll way down08:55
tsengim going to go back and close 1028 now08:56
tsengmy first thought is still in the Actions menu08:56
tsengbut now i know better08:56
tsengin fact, the actions menu doesnt seem terribly useful08:56
tsengfor my use cases so far08:57
bradb(note: i filed the /malone/bugs bug as 1069)08:58
tsengcheers08:59
bradbtseng: interesting note, that, about the actions portlet not seeming useful for your use cases thus far08:59
tsengi was expecting08:59
tsenghttps://launchpad.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/+bugs this09:00
tsengbradb: i would probably Subscribe to bugs (this is like bugzilla CC?) and mark as duplicate09:00
tsengedit bug to change bad titles09:00
tsengbut some of the other ones i dont even have a guess what they do09:00
tseng"infestation"09:01
=== bradb laughs, with you though, not at you ;)
tsengi know what CVE is, most people dont09:01
bradbinfestations are all our fault09:01
tsengand web link09:01
tsengI can put in a comment or summary09:01
tsengactivity log09:02
tsengon bugzilla, pretty much any change is reflected with a comment09:02
tsengthis might be wrong, but im acustomed to it and having two pages tracking one bug doesnt compute09:03
bradbthat is a fascinating problem for us to solve. really.09:04
bradbhow to model the fact that one bug can appear in many different places, and do so in a way that non-Malone maintainers (like, say, my grandmother) could make some sense of09:04
tsengbasically if i want to change status (close) a bug in bz, i *have* to leave a comment09:04
tsenglike "closing bug, fixed in cvs"09:04
tsengif i reopen a bug, it doesnt09:05
tsengso im sort of left to wonder, who/when reopened this09:05
tsengif i dont read the automated mail, that is09:05
tsengso bz isnt perfect either :P09:06
bradbheh09:06
tsengwould it be bad to inline comments from multiple bugs?09:08
tsenglike Comment #1 from Malone09:08
tsengComment #2 imported from DBS09:08
tsengi guess that would get confusing inline09:09
tsengthey could be seperated09:09
bradbwe'll be doing that with the debbugs sync, to the best of my knowledge09:09
tsengso status changes in DBS could generate a comment on the malone page?09:09
bradbthe debbugs db would be synched periodically09:10
bradbs/would be/will fairly soon be/09:10
tsenghm09:11
tsengdebugs i find much more baffling than malone09:11
bradbemail interfaces are hard to design well, it would seem. we have one now for Malone.09:12
=== mitsuhiko`sotd is now known as mitsuhiko
bradbtseng: anything else you wanted to talk about re: the screens we've just been discussing?09:17
tsengi just CC'd myself on 106909:17
tsengand it pretty much went as expected09:17
tsengthumbs up on that, besides it being in two places09:17
tseng(actions and people)09:18
tsengi have no idea what an infestation is09:18
tsengbut i feel victimized09:18
bradbheh. i think i'll remove that.09:18
tsengfun words :)09:19
tsengyeah if you could clean up actions and put some stuff im more likely to use in there..09:19
tsengit would be alot more obvious09:19
tsengthe biggest thing that isnt clear is edit bugs vs needs fixing in09:19
tsengim used to it being one task09:20
tsengand actually all on the main page09:20
tsengnot that it should be09:20
tsengi think thats it from me09:21
bradbok, thanks, this has been a thoroughly productive conversation.09:22
tsenggreat09:22
tsengoh09:23
tsengis there a way to say all bugs against a certain package should get assigned to me09:23
bradbnot yet, but you're one of many who's asked about it, which suggests that we should try to address that soon.09:24
bradbi'll file a bug on that right now too, if there isn't one already09:24
tsengk09:24
bradb107009:29
tsenghttps://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/bugs/107009:31
tsenglooking at that09:31
tsengit has the same text posted 3 times09:31
=== bradb laughs...heh, that needs some, ahem, redesign ;)
bradbi think mark has a fix on the way for this, so that a summary (the thing shown in bold at the top) isn't created from the description by default09:35
bradband thus, that bold-fu would be gone09:35
