| seb128 | martinald: what kind of reply do you expect? version? if it's installable? | 12:06 |
|---|---|---|
| martinald | is it going to be shipped with breezy? | 12:06 |
| seb128 | yep | 12:07 |
| martinald | ah k | 12:07 |
| rtcm | martinald: http://packages.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openoffice.org2/openoffice.org2_1.9.121-1ubuntu11/changelog | 12:07 |
| martinald | cool. will it be out of beta by the time breezy is released? | 12:08 |
| seb128 | that's probably a question for oo.o2 guys :) | 12:08 |
| martinald | right, let's say it's not - will updated versions be backported for breezy | 12:09 |
| ogra | martinald, we only backport security and dataloss fixes.... everything beyond that would be a question to the backports team guys | 12:10 |
| martinald | hm | 12:11 |
| ogra | like in debian | 12:11 |
| martinald | is this policy going to change? I asked a while about it and iirc there was going to be some discussion about it | 12:11 |
| seb128 | we are 2 months before 5.10 and people already want to backport stuff ... | 12:11 |
| ogra | a stable release is sable... | 12:11 |
| ogra | stable even | 12:11 |
| ogra | seb128, yes *sigh* | 12:12 |
| seb128 | martinald: backports are here for people who wants to update to new versions | 12:12 |
| === rbelem [n=rodrigo@201008169142.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | martinald, thats why there is a backports team now | 12:12 |
| martinald | yes, for example let's say it doesn't ship and there is a few critical bugs that are neither security nor dataloss but provide serious pain for a good chunk of users | 12:12 |
| seb128 | we backport fixes | 12:13 |
| martinald | does that mean users will have to actively go out and install backports? | 12:13 |
| === jcole [n=jcole@atlwebproxy2.core.hp.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| martinald | as opposed to just clicking on the ubuntu update applet | 12:13 |
| seb128 | no, fixes are backported for such bugs | 12:13 |
| ogra | martinald, we have a official backports team, no need to "go out" | 12:13 |
| jcole | how do i trick apt into thinking a dependency exists? | 12:13 |
| === michele [n=michele@host4-177.pool8256.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| seb128 | you don't | 12:13 |
| martinald | seb128: sure, but let's say there was a problem with the word importer that was neither dataloss nor security but failed on a quite a few documents | 12:14 |
| ogra | jcole, dependencys are there for a reason | 12:14 |
| martinald | would you backport the fix for that? | 12:14 |
| pitti | martinald: not for a stable release | 12:14 |
| martinald | don't you think that's a huge problem? | 12:14 |
| === luis [n=louie@c-66-31-46-131.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | martinald: since the patch for that is probably > 1000 lines | 12:14 |
| jcole | ogra: ya, but apt doesn't see a virtual package that is installed... so i need to tell apt it is installed (cause it really is) | 12:15 |
| seb128 | martinald: new versions also give new bugs | 12:15 |
| jcole | i thought it was something like... apt-get install synaptic -o APT::Get::Fake-Provides="libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.9" | 12:16 |
| martinald | seb: true. but say you ship openoffice 1.9.151 or something, but it has a bug that stops a lot of word documents opening, but it's fixed in openoffice 2.0. surely it would be a better idea to ship that update? | 12:17 |
| ogra | jcole, rather reinstall the virtual package so that apt sees it | 12:17 |
| pitti | martinald: if you would allow such updates, what would make a stable release stable? | 12:17 |
| jcole | ogra: --reinstall ? | 12:17 |
| ogra | martinald, how do you guarantee that the 90 language packs we ship for it still work, how do you make sure it doesnt break other things ? | 12:18 |
| === Seveas [n=seveas@seveas.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| seb128 | martinald: this has been discuted again and again, you have to put limits. Everybody clames that the new version of his favorite software fixes some stuff ... but experience shows it brings also new issues | 12:18 |
| martinald | good point. but surely suggesting users have to wait 6 months to get major bugs fixed is a problem | 12:18 |
| ogra | martinald, a stable release has recieved months of bugfixing and testing work... why should we break that ? | 12:18 |
| ogra | martinald, major bugs get fixes | 12:19 |
| pitti | martinald: that's why we try to fix major bugs *before* the release | 12:19 |
| martinald | i've just pointed out a bug that wouldn't probably get fixed... | 12:19 |
| seb128 | martinald: you are basically saying "the version from 2 weeks before 2.0 is total crap and they automagically changed that in 2 weeks because they changed the number to 2.0" | 12:19 |
| martinald | no i'm not | 12:19 |
| martinald | i'm saying there is likely to be bugfixes in the final release | 12:19 |
| seb128 | martinald: and new bug will not be grabbed | 12:19 |
| seb128 | martinald: you can say that for any new version of a sotfware, it's supposed to fix bugs ... | 12:20 |
| martinald | yes but generally new software fixes bugs surely | 12:20 |
| ogra | martinald, you showed today that you dont like our theme, our color selection and our policy to handle stable releases, may i ask what you like on ubuntu ? | 12:20 |
| seb128 | martinald: you need to run a siftware some time to know it's stable | 12:20 |
| martinald | that's uncalled for, i was simply debating ogra | 12:20 |
| ogra | just out of interest ... | 12:20 |
| rtcm | martinald: if a bug is really annoying to a lot of users it will be spotted and fixed before the release | 12:21 |
| martinald | what do i like? many things. i love the hardware detection, installer, use of latest gnome etc etc | 12:21 |
| ogra | martinald, thanks :) | 12:21 |
| slomo | elmo: please sync bb from debian (aalib and slang2 transition, ftbfs fix for gcc 4.0) | 12:22 |
| martinald | rtcm: we both know that sometimes bugs that are critical will be unspotted | 12:22 |
| pitti | martinald: btw, if you do want new versions, breezy is for you :-) But today you told us that it is too unstable | 12:22 |
| martinald | pitti: there is a bug in colony 3 which means i can't boot it | 12:22 |
| ogra | martinald, critical bugs recieve fixes, even in stable releases | 12:22 |
| martinald | that's why i'm trying the nightly cd | 12:22 |
| pitti | martinald: that's exactly what would happen if we put new versions into stable releases | 12:22 |
| martinald | surely a new openoffice bug wouldn't break booting? | 12:23 |
| seb128 | martinald: no but it could crash by example | 12:23 |
| pitti | martinald: it pulls in new dependencies, and so on, so it might break your desktop, which is equally bad | 12:23 |
| seb128 | martinald: some new stable firefox broke extensions by example | 12:23 |
| ogra | martinald, but who guarantees that it doesnt break all docs out there for example, because the fix breaks doc handling ... | 12:23 |
| pitti | seb128: meh | 12:24 |
| pitti | martinald: right, ffox is a nice example | 12:24 |
| martinald | the problem is that on windows or mac you could get a binary and install it if you wanted it fixed, but you can't do that on linux | 12:24 |
| pitti | martinald: we *did* put a new upstream version into stable, and it caused lots of trouble | 12:24 |
| martinald | pitti: true | 12:24 |
| ogra | martinald, you can, thats why we hae a backports team... | 12:24 |
| martinald | ogra: ok, but does the backports team backport every new release of main software? | 12:25 |
| pitti | martinald: epiphany broke, some extensions broke, some packages were rendered ftbfs, enigmail broke after tbird upgrade, etc. | 12:25 |
| ogra | but that doesnt guarantee the stability we can guarantee after months of work | 12:25 |
| pitti | martinald: once you start, you are in a mess | 12:25 |
| seb128 | martinald: if you want every new version don't use stable | 12:25 |
| ogra | martinald, the team backports waht gets requested by users | 12:25 |
| seb128 | pitti: epiphany/warty is still b0rked (now than you speak about that) | 12:25 |
| michele | martinald: well, you can grab binaries from OOo's website and install those | 12:26 |
| pitti | seb128: yes, just thought about that | 12:26 |
| ogra | martinald, but it cant track sideeffects and doesnt test as intensive as we do it | 12:26 |
| michele | martinald: so you can have the latest version, as you do on mac and win | 12:26 |
| martinald | what i mean is that say i have a buisness customer is using xyz package which has a bug in hoary which is uncommon but for him means that ubuntu is unusable | 12:26 |
| martinald | but the bug is not common enough for it to be backported | 12:26 |
| martinald | what does he do? | 12:26 |
| pitti | martinald: then a specific backport is what he needs | 12:26 |
| seb128 | martinald: if you sell service you can backport fixes for issues reported by users | 12:27 |
| pitti | martinald: major software like gaim, ffox, etc. is usually backported | 12:27 |
| === dredg finally loses his temper with the whole 'trying to do things with the network at boot time when there is no network' | ||
| martinald | seb: ok, ignore customer, replace it with 'friend' | 12:27 |
| dredg | a small script running ethtool suits my purposes for now | 12:27 |
| pitti | martinald: do a backport yourself or ask for one :-) | 12:27 |
| martinald | i can't backport myself. and there isn't any demand from the community to do it (being a very uncommon bug) | 12:28 |
| dredg | but between now and the kickoff for breezy+1 i think i'll be trying to come up with a single standard way of testing for a network link | 12:28 |
| martinald | on mac/windows i could say 'ok, just go to www.project.net and install the latest version over the top' | 12:28 |
| ogra | martinald, if you ask the backports team, it will do the backport fo you | 12:28 |
| pitti | martinald: you can do the same with Ubuntu | 12:28 |
| ogra | thats what its there for | 12:28 |
| michele | or you can always hire somebody to do the backport... | 12:29 |
| martinald | fine, say it's a charity then | 12:29 |
| michele | well... is network-manager in universe or main? | 12:29 |
| pitti | and what ogra said, that's what I meant with "<pitti> martinald: do a backport yourself or ask for one :-)" | 12:29 |
| Mez | what you want backporteD | 12:29 |
| seb128 | martinald: what do you do on IE when outlook has a bug not fixed by MS ? | 12:29 |
| pitti | Mez: TEH WORLD | 12:29 |
| pitti | Mez: nevermind, just theory :-) | 12:29 |
| martinald | seb: that's different. | 12:29 |
| ogra | Mez, nothing yet, but martinald will ask you for openoffice as soon as breezy is released ;) | 12:29 |
| pitti | martinald: but you see, the backport guys are listening :-) | 12:29 |

| seb128 | martinald: how so? | 12:30 |
| seb128 | martinald: there is some case you have bugs and that's all | 12:30 |
| martinald | because in my scenario there is a fix availiable but due to the OS i'm running it's not available. in that situation there is no fix available regardless of OS | 12:30 |
| seb128 | martinald: you can't fix every single minor bug happening for anyone | 12:30 |
| ogra | martinald, but we just prove that it *is* available... Mez will backport what you ask for | 12:31 |
| pitti | "ask your local backports dealer" | 12:31 |
| pitti | hehe :-) | 12:31 |
| ogra | martinald, the app just wont be as heavily tested as the one in the release | 12:31 |
| seb128 | martinald: use unstable so | 12:32 |
| ogra | :) | 12:32 |
| martinald | ogra: ok. but what happens if mez for whatever reason can't or won't backport | 12:32 |
| seb128 | martinald: so you have every new version, good way to learn that they don't only fix bugs | 12:32 |
| rtcm | martinald: ask/pay another person to do it for you | 12:33 |
| ogra | martinald, if he won't just poke him even more or send him some rowdys :) | 12:33 |
| pitti | seb128: and that's GOOD | 12:33 |
| seb128 | ;) | 12:33 |
| pitti | seb128: imagine what happened if, say, from warty on all upstreams only fixed bugs | 12:33 |
| pitti | seb128: breezy would be bug free, boring, and we would be jobless | 12:33 |
| seb128 | yeah | 12:33 |
| ogra | martinald, if he cant, he has the whole distro team to ask for help | 12:33 |
| seb128 | pitti: why do you think I break the panel? Want to keep my job :p | 12:34 |
| ogra | hah, i *knew* its intended | 12:34 |
| martinald | well maybe you have me convinced that backports is a good idea | 12:34 |
| ogra | *g* | 12:34 |
| martinald | and that i'm fretting over nothing :) | 12:34 |
| martinald | i assume backports are not turned on by default? | 12:34 |
| seb128 | nop | 12:35 |
| martinald | how hard is it to add backports? | 12:35 |
| martinald | for the average user | 12:35 |
| ogra | martinald, but for your customer, it will be you who has the risk for newly introduced bugs... | 12:35 |
| seb128 | add 1 lines to the sources | 12:35 |
| seb128 | 1 line | 12:35 |
| seb128 | and click on synaptic update | 12:35 |
| martinald | ok that's too complex for most users | 12:35 |
| seb128 | (people are never happy) | 12:36 |
| ogra | clicking two times ? is to hard for an admin in a company at your customer ? | 12:36 |
| martinald | i'm not saying for me ogra, i'm saying for mrs joe smith who has a problem with openoffice and would like the fix that is waiting in backports | 12:36 |
| martinald | mr* | 12:36 |
| rtcm | martinald: is it easier to go after some random installer on the net and clicking through an installer wizard? | 12:36 |
| martinald | rtcm, yes | 12:37 |
| seb128 | martinald: synaptic is not harded than a website | 12:37 |
| seb128 | I don't agree | 12:37 |
| mvo | martinald: if it's too complex to add backports, then it's maybe too complex/worrying to actually install/use backports? | 12:37 |
| mvo | I mean, backports do not have the same level of QA as the rest of the archive | 12:37 |
| seb128 | martinald: upgrading software to new versions on a stable system is not a good idea that's why it doesn't work out of the box | 12:38 |
| martinald | well i was thinking there should be a checkbox in the update-manager saying 'Would you like Ubuntu to search for updates which don't impede security or dataloss'? | 12:38 |
| martinald | or something | 12:38 |
| mvo | IMHO you can't have dead-easy and cuting-edge | 12:38 |
| seb128 | martinald: you want to push people to unstability and new bug, feel free but don't expect the distro to do that for you | 12:39 |
| martinald | well this is the problem | 12:39 |
| seb128 | use unstable if you want that | 12:39 |
| martinald | if you don't solve this then there will be a large amount of users who don't understand computers very well but have broken software | 12:39 |
| martinald | and they go to the software site and they are told there is an update available | 12:39 |
| martinald | but they don't know how to get it | 12:39 |
| seb128 | they don't bring new bugs and keep the stable tested version | 12:40 |
| seb128 | that's good :) | 12:40 |
| pitti | martinald: btw, you can enable backports in synaptic (or at least it would be easy to allow that) | 12:40 |
| jdub | GOOD MORNING FREEDOM LOVERS! | 12:41 |
| martinald | pitti: synaptic is still too complex for most regular users to use | 12:41 |

| seb128 | they get bugs, they complain, etc | 12:42 |
| martinald | i think you'll find they do | 12:42 |
| pitti | martinald: in fact many of them don't ever install *any* software | 12:42 |
| martinald | pitti: that isn't true either | 12:42 |
| ogra_ | martinald, most win users i know still run win98 | 12:42 |
| pitti | martinald: my mother, the folks in my father's company, etc. - they don't touch anything | 12:42 |
| seb128 | martinald: you are speaking about people going on the web to get new software, these people are able to click on 2 synaptic options | 12:43 |
| martinald | ok fair enough but you are not looking at the bigger picture | 12:43 |
| pitti | martinald: many people aren't version junkies - they use what they have and get used to bugs and itches | 12:43 |
| ogra_ | martinald, with the SW they had on it in the first place | 12:43 |
| martinald | the fact is the majority of windows users use XP | 12:43 |
| martinald | which is very stable | 12:43 |

| pitti | martinald: which know a bit about computers | 12:46 |
| ogra_ | martinald, about 95% of users using XP | 12:47 |
| pitti | martinald: whoever is able to download new windows software and find/install cracks for it certainly knows how to enable backports for Ubuntu | 12:47 |
| martinald | i said 95% of new computers are sold with XP | 12:47 |
| ogra_ | not the firefox promotion page, and please no microsofty study | 12:47 |

| === pitti speaks about stable versions and uploads PostgreSQL 8.1 alpha to Debian experimental :-) | ||

| martinald | do you honestly think that less than 95% of new computers sold with windows are not sold with XP? | 12:48 |
| pitti | martinald: I don't doubt that | 12:48 |
| ogra_ | martinald, you said most users *use* XP | 12:48 |
| martinald | and i will provide statistics | 12:48 |
| martinald | http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp | 12:48 |
| ogra_ | and that i doubt very much | 12:48 |
| martinald | bit biased that one | 12:48 |
| pitti | martinald: but most of its users won't fiddle with their configs, also not in XP | 12:49 |
| ogra_ | give me a real statistic, including all continents | 12:49 |
| pitti | ogra_: even if they did, it doesn't change our target user for stable releases | 12:49 |
| pitti | whether the stable version is called hoary, 2K or XP is irrelevant | 12:49 |
| pitti | many people just stay with what they have | 12:49 |

| martinald | http://wesnerm.blogs.com/net_undocumented/2005/07/windows_markets.html | 12:51 |
| martinald | which says xp is at ~40% | 12:51 |
| martinald | so i was slightly wrong | 12:51 |
| martinald | but it shows that only 5% of users use 95 and 98 | 12:52 |
| martinald | perhaps someone can clear this up for me: what is the target audience of ubuntu? | 12:52 |
| pitti | that means 60% of users use software > 5 years old | 12:52 |
| martinald | use an OS > 5 years old | 12:53 |

| Burgundavia | jdub, should we put a seperator between the categories and g-a-i on the applications menu? It looks quite quished | 01:16 |
| jdub | the separator was intended - if it's not there, please file a bug | 01:16 |
| wasabi_ | Hmm. So me and my boss (long time UI designer) just sat down in front of OS X and argued about UI design. | 01:16 |
| wasabi_ | It has occured to me that listing Home Directory in the Places menu is not helpful. | 01:17 |
| wasabi_ | OS X does it too. ;) | 01:17 |
| Burgundavia | jdub, is that -menus or g-a-i? | 01:18 |
| luis | wasabi: you have to have *some* way to get to home, so... where else are you going to put it? :/ | 01:20 |
| wasabi_ | Why? | 01:21 |
| wasabi_ | What do you need to use your home directory for? | 01:21 |
| wasabi_ | Yeah this argument sucks. | 01:21 |
| wasabi_ | Okay, my reason for bringing this up is because my boss expressed confusion at there being two differnet ways to get to Documents | 01:22 |
| wasabi_ | And he wasn't sure what the difference between the folders were. | 01:22 |
| wasabi_ | Weither one was for everybody, or one was for just himself. | 01:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | home directory should be desktop | 01:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | that solves that problem | 01:23 |
| HrdwrBoB | but makes a lot of people whinge | 01:23 |
| spacey | my desktop would be too cluttered | 01:23 |
| HrdwrBoB | spacey: that's not an inherent problem with it | 01:23 |
| mdz_ | wasabi_: I'm pretty sure this has been done to death upstream in gnome, and this was the only way for the desktop and unix to meet in the middle ;-) | 01:23 |
| HrdwrBoB | that's a problem with how you manage files | 01:24 |
| wasabi_ | yeah | 01:24 |
| wasabi_ | heh | 01:24 |
| spacey | HrdwrBoB, i know your right :D | 01:24 |
| wasabi_ | I just enjoy the UI paradigm arguments usually. | 01:24 |
| mdz_ | wasabi_: did you find any low-hanging fruit in OS X that we could borrow for ubuntu? | 01:24 |
| mdz_ | the last time I looked at it, it seemed like the major differences between it and gnome fell under the category of "bling" | 01:25 |
| Burgundavia | mdz, pop-ups for fn keys | 01:25 |
| HrdwrBoB | since I've changed home to be desktop, I use nautilus a lot more, since I can actually get to all my files in a sensible logical way from all access methods | 01:25 |
| wasabi_ | Well, one of the next complains was about what happens with unknown file systems. OS X fails this. You download a .sit file. | 01:25 |
| wasabi_ | And try to open it. | 01:25 |
| wasabi_ | And a new user is going to be confronted with a list of possible programs to open it with. | 01:25 |
| mdz_ | Burgundavia: how does that work? | 01:25 |
| wasabi_ | And most of them are going to be useless. | 01:25 |
| HrdwrBoB | is the default for images now gthumb? | 01:26 |
| Burgundavia | mdz, when you hit a fn key (brightness or sound), it pops something up showing the change | 01:26 |
| wasabi_ | And it will be set to open by default, by default. | 01:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | because the default image viewer is completely useless | 01:26 |
| Burgundavia | mdz, we already have a mute one | 01:26 |
| mdz_ | Burgundavia: we only recently got the keys working at all ;-) | 01:26 |
| mdz_ | on laptops anyway | 01:26 |
| wasabi_ | We don't allow unknown file types to be open at all on a double click. | 01:26 |
| wasabi_ | just noticed that | 01:26 |
| Burgundavia | mdz_, hey, I shot for the moon. LEO is not far enough | 01:26 |
| wasabi_ | Our error message just sucks. | 01:26 |
| Burgundavia | wasabi, the huge one? | 01:27 |
| wasabi_ | Can't Display Location \ Couldn't display "/home/jhaltom/ssl/ISIdatapro.key". | 01:27 |
| wasabi_ | No, that one sucks too, btw | 01:27 |
| === rbelem-afk is now known as rbelem | ||
| Burgundavia | mdz_, have you seen our mute key pop-up | 01:27 |
| mdz_ | no | 01:28 |
| mdz_ | I don't have a mute key | 01:28 |
| Burgundavia | ah | 01:28 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: i "designed" that mute key popup | 01:29 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, it is quite nice, one minor bug | 01:29 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: it sucked worse before, i filed a bug on several inconsistancies | 01:29 |
| tseng | i think it was hadess fixed it up | 01:29 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14062 | 01:29 |
| jdub | Burgundavia: panel | 01:30 |
| tseng | why did you report it there, out of curiosity | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia | jdub, I will change it then | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, I have never seen it, though it was something mjg59 did | 01:30 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: no, that was part of the old bug | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 01:30 |
| tseng | what would happen was, it set the volume to zero | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, got a bug # for me? | 01:30 |
| tseng | as "mute" | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia | ah | 01:30 |
| tseng | now it really mutes it and saves the stat | 01:31 |
| tseng | e | 01:31 |
| HrdwrBoB | I have a better idea | 01:31 |
| tseng | i guess you want to go one step further and *look* like mute = 0 volume | 01:31 |
| HrdwrBoB | it should show you the level, but grey it out | 01:31 |
| HrdwrBoB | becaute mute != 0 volume | 01:31 |
| Nafallo | mdz: hi! is it a possibility that some apps could have built earlier on amd64 than i386 and then still have got libcairo1 depends (timer-applet for instance)? | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | HrdwrBoB, yes it does | 01:31 |
| tseng | HrdwrBoB: right. | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | from a user perspective it is | 01:31 |
| mdz_ | Nafallo: it's fairly unlikely; the usual method is to wait for the package to be built on all 3 architectures and then do the transition | 01:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | as a user, I also want to know what the volume is though | 01:32 |
| mdz_ | Nafallo: if there is a specific case you're referring to, please name it | 01:32 |
| Nafallo | mdz: I did, timer-applet on amd64 depends on libcairo1 here. | 01:32 |
| mdz_ | there may still be packages in universe which haven't transitioned yet | 01:32 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140937 | 01:32 |
| Nafallo | it was rebuilt as ubuntu2, but on amd64 that depends on libcairo1 it seems. | 01:33 |
| wasabi_ | Ok I have low hanging fruit, mdz. | 01:33 |
| mdz_ | Nafallo: that's because -0ubuntu2 hasn't built on amd64 yet | 01:33 |
| wasabi_ | OS X has the dock bar. One of the things that makes it way better than any window list is you know that when you put an icon on it, it stays where you left it. If you put it way to the left, it stays there. And it lets you quickly open your programs. | 01:34 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, where both the bug reported and your bug fixed? | 01:34 |
| wasabi_ | It's annoying using a windows list where the order of the icons is based on the order you open the programs. | 01:34 |
| Nafallo | mdz: aha. that was to easy to figure out for me I guess ;-) | 01:34 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: yes | 01:34 |
| Nafallo | mdz: thanx :-) | 01:34 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, ok | 01:34 |
| wasabi_ | Possible solution: Let users drag window list buttons to different positions. | 01:34 |
| wasabi_ | And remember them. Somehow. | 01:34 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, mine is actually about the visual state, not about what it actually does | 01:35 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: it makes alot more sense to file your bug @ gnome than ubuntu to me | 01:35 |
| mdz_ | Nafallo: in fact it failed to build on amd64 and powerpc both | 01:35 |
| mdz_ | http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/t/timer-applet/1.1-0ubuntu2/ | 01:35 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, I would have, but I didn't realize that it was a non-ubuntu specific thing | 01:35 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: ok. | 01:35 |
| wasabi_ | Probably just store something like "this app should be at position 4" and do a best effort to fulfill that. | 01:35 |
| wasabi_ | or maybe "this app should be to the left of this other app and to the right of this one". | 01:36 |
| Burgundavia | tseng, so the control-center actually provides the pop-up? | 01:36 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: yes | 01:36 |
| mdz_ | yay, amd64 livefs build is working again | 01:36 |
| tseng | or it did however many releases ago i filed that bug | 01:36 |

| elmo | mjg59: Debian or debian-legal? ... | 03:46 |
| mjg59 | elmo: Heh. I was under the impression that that was why we didn't ship KDE? | 03:46 |
| mjg59 | Back in the old days, that is | 03:46 |
| elmo | eh, wasn't that QPL vs GPL? | 03:47 |
| elmo | if so, not sure how you get to QT as a system lib | 03:47 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, but we could have used the system library exemption | 03:47 |
| mjg59 | By prompting QT to base | 03:48 |
| jdub | ha ha | 03:48 |
| mjg59 | (Which would have been stupid, but still) | 03:48 |
| elmo | or we could not ship KDE and have Trolltech dual-license QT under the GPL :-P | 03:48 |
| mjg59 | Indeed | 03:49 |
| mjg59 | So Linux distributions should refuse to ship Opensolaris until Sun dual-licenses it under the GPL. | 03:49 |
| mjg59 | Uhm. | 03:49 |

| mjg59 | And then deal with the HUGE pile of bugs that have been assigned to me | 03:57 |
| elmo | did bdale ever submit those damn patches for the TC1100? | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | Did bdale have any? | 03:57 |
| elmo | and/or did you/someone get one as part of LAPTOP-MADNESS? | 03:57 |
| elmo | he said he had three | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | I've just implemented half of his kernel patches as 5 lines of shell | 03:57 |
| elmo | but had been scared by bugzilla as a small child and avoided it since | 03:57 |
| elmo | ok | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | The other one is awkward | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | The third is upstream | 03:57 |
| elmo | what's the last two? | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | 1) Random broken shit that's been fixed in Breezy | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | 2) Enable/disable wireless | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | (2) is surprisingly awkward | 03:58 |
| elmo | oh? | 03:59 |
| mjg59 | I've got a TC1105, which is a cheaper TC1100 | 03:59 |
| mjg59 | With the exception of wireless stuff, pretty much everything ought to work in Breezy | 04:00 |

| mdz_ | sounds fine to me | 06:56 |
| infinity | mdz_ : Do I need to fill out a MainInclusionReport to get linux32 seeded? | 07:08 |
| infinity | mdz_ : It's a bit of a necessity for foolproof package building on powerpc64/sparc64/hppa64 systems. (The buildds are running in linux32 environments as of today, since elmo gave me shiny new ppc64 kernels) | 07:09 |
| mdz_ | infinity: is it completely trivial? | 07:09 |
| fabbione | morning | 07:09 |
| infinity | mdz_ : Very. It just sets the kernel personality, which has very little effect except altering the output of uname -m | 07:10 |
| mdz_ | infinity: it's like one 2k binary or something, right? | 07:10 |
| infinity | 4k, but yes. | 07:11 |

| wasabi | I need a little bit of basic C help. I'm working in pmount. I added a new function, do_setup_loop(char * device, char * loop_device). It runs if pmount is trying to mount a file, and creates a loop back device for it before continuing. | 07:15 |

| fabbione | infinity: ehehhe plenty.. | 07:15 |
| infinity | fabbione : Definitely a custom config, you'd have to ask elmo if it's from your stock sources. | 07:15 |

| \sh | ajmitch: until now google only opened the service..when they're pushing new services in then jabber is ready to rule the propietary IM world | 07:39 |

| \sh | one client for everything...based on opensource standards | 07:49 |
| `anthony | \sh: yep. | 07:49 |
| ajmitch | \sh: you'll roll it into the shtoom goal? | 07:50 |

| jdub | there's grub poo | 08:45 |
| jdub | then the single audit blabber from the kernel | 08:45 |
| jdub | which should probably be killed by 'quiet' | 08:45 |
| Treenaks | I get a few "hda3: No such volume group"-like messages after that | 08:46 |

| infinity | As do I. I assume that's an initramfs bug/misfeature, though. | 08:46 |
| lathiat | yeh ditto | 08:47 |
| lathiat | one thing i noticed is that initrams seems to take alot of time to start booting | 08:47 |

| fabbione | (/etc/X11....) | 09:56 |

| jtan325 | hi i am having a slight problem when building my own debian package for a small program | 02:10 |
| Diziet | Alternatively ::Tell and ::Size could be changed to have a reference argument for returning the answer, changing all callers. | 02:10 |
| jtan325 | i've gotten it to build with debuild, | 02:11 |
| jtan325 | i am just getting an annoying error with lintian | 02:11 |
| jtan325 | complaining about manpage-in-wrong-directory | 02:11 |
| jtan325 | i've read the man page for dh_installman | 02:11 |
| jtan325 | and have also googled | 02:11 |
| jtan325 | and my first impression was something was wrong with the man page i was provide | 02:12 |
| jtan325 | *providing | 02:12 |
| jtan325 | so i checked that, but i'm pretty sure the section number is right | 02:12 |

| Diziet | This program would appear to have a fundamentally incorrect algorithm. | 02:23 |
| mvo | Diziet: what bit exactly | 02:24 |
| Diziet | The bit where it replaces libc6 with a version whose dependencies aren't met by the current system and then refuses to start because libc6-dev has unmet dependencies. | 02:26 |
| Diziet | (in between it had bombed out due to another error) | 02:27 |

| doko | daniels: after reboot the mouse wheel stopped working, current breezy amd64, ZAxisMapping however is defined | 02:34 |
| fabbione | mdz: daily install looks good here | 02:35 |
| daniels | doko: i believe this is a kernel bug | 02:35 |
| fabbione | doko: what if you unload/reload mousedev ? | 02:35 |
| fabbione | doko: do you still have /dev/input/mice and /dev/psaux? | 02:36 |
| fabbione | if so -> X | 02:36 |
| fabbione | no recent kernel upgrades did touch the mouse | 02:36 |
| daniels | fabbione: nothing in the mouse code has changed | 02:37 |
| daniels | fabbione: (in X) | 02:38 |
| daniels | or input handling | 02:38 |
| fabbione | daniels: hotplug... | 02:38 |
| daniels | doko: if you can narrow it down to which version of xserver-xorg broke it (or which version of the kerenl, even better), that would rock | 02:38 |
| fabbione | i think we can blame hotplug or udev :) | 02:38 |
| daniels | fabbione: hotplug is suppressing scroll wheel events but nothing else? | 02:38 |
| fabbione | daniels: the effect i see here is that mousedev is loaded too early.. | 02:39 |
| daniels | ah, ok | 02:39 |
| fabbione | so i don't get anymouse at boot | 02:39 |
| daniels | keybuk's fault. score. | 02:39 |

| fabbione | doko: ok thanks | 02:40 |
| Saba_Z | hey all | 02:40 |
| fabbione | doko: does the mouse start to work again if you rmmod mousedev and modprobe it again? | 02:40 |
| fabbione | hi Saba_Z :) | 02:41 |
| doko | fabbione: while X is running? | 02:41 |
| === fabbione takes 2 minutes break | ||
| fabbione | doko: nope.. you can't inside X | 02:41 |
| fabbione | you need to logout, kill gdm, rmmod/modprobe and restart gdm | 02:41 |
| doko | I stopped X, rmmod/modprobe, started X again, same behaviour | 02:42 |
| fabbione | the mouse needs to be fully reinitialized | 02:42 |
| fabbione | ok | 02:42 |
| fabbione | blame X :) | 02:42 |
| fabbione | or check if there are data coming from the mouse moving only the scrollwheel | 02:42 |

| doko | no, nothing from the wheel ... | 02:43 |

| doko | fabbione, daniels: no events on the console without X | 02:46 |
| daniels | fabbione: YOU WIN! :) | 02:46 |
| fabbione | doko: what kernel are you running? | 02:46 |
| fabbione | daniels: don't be so sure... | 02:47 |
| doko | 2.6.12-7-amd64-k8 | 02:47 |
| fabbione | becaue not all mouse events are mapped directly by the kernel | 02:47 |
| daniels | well, something that is not X wins. | 02:47 |
| fabbione | doko: do you have an older kernel in the 2.6.12 series around? | 02:47 |
| doko | no, 2.6.10 only | 02:48 |
| fabbione | doko: well you have an amd64 or there should be the morgue around... | 02:48 |
| fabbione | if you can identify when the breakage did happen it would be slightly more useful | 02:48 |
| Saba_Z | fabbione: is this going to be uploaded to breezy if i mail it now? | 02:49 |
| fabbione | or look at the mouse source code/Docs in the kernel | 02:49 |

| ogra_ | looks ok to me | 04:58 |
| mpt | mvo: The balloon is pretty and everything, but it seems like it's wasting people's time a bit (not to mention being harder to implement than just opening the window) | 04:58 |
| mjg59 | ogra_: Can you lsmod | grep vesafb ? | 04:59 |
| mvo | mpt: it feels wrong to just open a big window without asking politly | 04:59 |

| ogra_ | mjg59, should they both be loaded ? | 04:59 |
| dredg | mvo: what about providing a link in the balloon to open the window? | 05:00 |
| mvo | dredg: yes, that sounds better to me | 05:00 |
| mpt | mvo: As long as it doesn't grab focus, IMO that would be better than making people do an unnecessary click | 05:00 |
| dredg | actually, a friend blogged this earlier today | 05:01 |
| dredg | http://lbedford.org/diary/2005/08/ubuntu-breezy-colony-3.html | 05:01 |
| === Robinho_Peixoto [n=ubuntu@201.32.165.161] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| HiddenWolf | dredg, nice blog, that | 05:01 |
| mvo | mpt: the biggest blocker for that right now is probably that update-manager needs to run with gksudo | 05:02 |
| mvo | dredg: thanks for the link | 05:02 |
| mjg59 | ogra_: Hmm. That's probably ok. | 05:02 |
| mjg59 | ogra_: Right, I'll look into it | 05:02 |
| mpt | mvo: Well, why are you showing updates at all to someone who can't install them? | 05:03 |
| mpt | oh, I see | 05:03 |
| doko | \sh: you may want to have a look at spe | 05:03 |
| mpt | they can install, they just need to enter the password | 05:03 |
| mvo | mpt: I would like to change that, but there is no easy way to figure if a user is allowed to run sudo applications. there is a spec about it | 05:03 |
| mpt | mvo: You don't need that | 05:04 |
| mvo | mpt: yes, they can install, they need the password | 05:04 |
| mvo | mpt: it would be nice to seperate that so that you don't need the password to show the updates, but that's not done yet | 05:04 |
| mpt | mvo: You just need to ask for the password when they click the "Install Updates" button, instead of when they open the window | 05:04 |
| Mitario | mvo, wouldn't there be a way to parse sudoers? | 05:04 |
| pitti | doko: downloading ooo2 now | 05:04 |
| mvo | Mitario: no, it's 600 for security reasons. we could cheat around the issue by checking for the admin group | 05:05 |
| rburton | daniels: libgl1-mesa-dev_6.3.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb: | 05:05 |
| rburton | trying to overwrite `/usr/include/GL/gl.h', which is also in package mesa-common-dev | 05:05 |
| Mitario | mpt, problem with that, you'll also need sudo access to configure software sources and update options, which are available from update-manager | 05:05 |
| daniels | rburton: wow. i, er, suck. | 05:05 |
| rburton | :) | 05:05 |
| mvo | but that group was introducted only in hoary | 05:05 |
| Mitario | mpt, anyways, why would you want to check for updates if you can't install them :) | 05:05 |
| Mitario | mvo, ah, right | 05:05 |
| mvo | Mitario: a google summer of code student was working on that (a way to tell what users have root access) | 05:06 |
| daniels | rburton: new mesa thrown at the archive | 05:06 |
| Mitario | mvo, ah that's cool | 05:06 |
| pitti | mvo: a setuid wrapper would probably be the most reliable way | 05:07 |
| mpt | Mitario: Exactly the same applies to putting up the balloon. | 05:07 |
| mvo | Mitario: I was considering the "admin" group cheat, but I'm not sure if that works for everyone (i.e. people upgrading from warty to hoary to breezy) | 05:07 |
| mvo | pitti: do you know if there is work underway on this applicaton? | 05:08 |
| Mitario | mvo, people in the admin group don't nessesarily need to be sudoers | 05:08 |
| Mitario | mpt, hmm, there are 2 sides on that, say an employee gets that message, he could warn his sysadmin, on the other hand, you're right that the balloon shouldn't popup to a user without admin rights, but we need a method for that then :) | 05:09 |
| Mitario | anyhow, it is a bug yes | 05:09 |
| === Mitario wonders how windows XP/vista do it | ||
| Mitario | or mac os x.. | 05:10 |
| \sh | Mitario: updates? every user get the message that there r updates..(xp like ,-)) | 05:10 |
| Mitario | ok, well /me thinks that's the best sollution | 05:11 |
| === mpt tests os x | ||
| Mitario | say my mom gets that message, she can warn my dad that he should install the updates :) | 05:11 |
| mpt | as a non-admin I can run Software Update | 05:12 |
| pitti | mvo: no idea | 05:12 |
| === Mitario wonders why | ||
| Mitario | true, it might be interesting for a user to see the updates, probably not though | 05:13 |
| mpt | Presumably I'd get asked for an admin name and password when clicking "Install" (I can't test that because there are no updates available) | 05:13 |
| Mitario | right | 05:13 |
| Mitario | but since we don't have an adminstrator account in ubuntu | 05:13 |
| mpt | There isn't an administrator account in OS X either | 05:13 |
| Mitario | oh | 05:13 |
| ogra_ | Mitario, os X uses sudo ;) | 05:14 |
| mpt | I said "an", not "the" :-) | 05:14 |
| Mitario | ogra_ ah right :) | 05:14 |
| mpt | Huh, that's interesting | 05:14 |
| mpt | as a non-admin I can set my own Software Update prefs | 05:14 |
| Mitario | anyways I think popping up at least the little red icon should be on by default | 05:14 |
| pitti | doko: if you don't count 2 minutes startup time and slow response as a bug, writer works here (shallowly tested) | 05:14 |
| pitti | doko: calc starts, too; anything I should test in particular? | 05:15 |
| Mitario | mvo, oh right, IMO you should change that 'never show again' message to 'hide ballon' or something | 05:15 |
| mpt | Mitario: Unfortunately a little red circle doesn't mean anything | 05:15 |
| Mitario | mpt: true, so just display the balloon for everyone :) | 05:16 |
| mvo | Mitario: it's meant as "never show again", if it is set, there will never be a ballon again | 05:16 |
| mpt | This whole balloon thing is ... unfortunate | 05:16 |
| Mitario | mvo, ok don't you think that's a little dangerous option to display on a balloon like this? | 05:16 |
| mpt | Imagine if roadsigns were designed that way | 05:16 |
| Mitario | i think the balloon thing rocks.. :) | 05:17 |
| mjg59 | mvo: The balloon doesn't align properly if you have a vertical panel | 05:17 |
| Mitario | mvo, maybe just put an option 'Hide for now' or 'Warn me later' and put a 'never show balloons' option in g-s-p | 05:17 |
| doko | pitti: no, how many RAM do you have? | 05:17 |
| pitti | doko: 256 MB, G4 800 MHz | 05:17 |
| doko | ok ... | 05:17 |
| HiddenWolf | doko s/many/much | 05:17 |
| mvo | mjg59: I suspected it, it's a bug in notification-daemon | 05:18 |
| pitti | doko: the previous versions weren't faster, if you mean that | 05:18 |
| mjg59 | mvo: Ok. Should I file a bug? | 05:18 |
| doko | pitti: but I assume it waits on something network related. | 05:18 |
| fabbione | doko: 14092 -> Component linux <- Assignto: ben.collins@ubuntu.com . kthxbye | 05:18 |
| doko | pitti: does the machine show some load? | 05:18 |
| pitti | doko: no, just heavy I/O load | 05:18 |
| pitti | doko: yep, mostly I/O, also much cpu | 05:18 |
| mvo | mjg59: yes, please assign it to notification-daemon and to me and a screenshot would be cool as well. | 05:18 |
| doko | swapping? | 05:19 |
| pitti | doko: it's just normally loading all the stuff | 05:19 |
| fabbione | doko: did you do the test i told you? or do we need to go trough them one by one? | 05:19 |
| doko | pitti: I can only test with >= 1GB :-) | 05:19 |
| pitti | doko: that slowliness was just bitching, never mind :-) | 05:19 |
| mjg59 | doko: You can boot with mem=256M | 05:19 |
| doko | fabbione: what's up? we went throught the procedure | 05:19 |
| doko | mjg59: psst ... | 05:20 |
| fabbione | doko: i did ask you to try older kernels and to see the mouse options in the kernel doc, because the wheel works fine here | 05:20 |
| doko | fabbione: I don't have an older kernel yet. It's on my list | 05:20 |
| fabbione | doko: ok. | 05:21 |
| fabbione | doko: anyway i am not the owner of kernel stuff anymore. Just assign the bugs to linux and the form will be automagically filled for you :) | 05:21 |
| mvo | Mitario: ok, agreed | 05:22 |

| ogra_ | its .org btw ;) | 05:25 |
| mvo | mpt: probably not, we are in pretty deep freeze already, seb128 knows more. assuming it would, what would you suggest to do? hiding the icon complettly for non-sudoers? | 05:25 |
| === ryanthiessen [n=ryan@168-103-148-90.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra_ | as i understood him, its already in, but all sudoers .desktop files need a add on... | 05:26 |
| ogra_ | i'd really love to see it in edubuntu... | 05:27 |
| ogra_ | and thus ubuntu first :) | 05:27 |
| mpt | mvo: Ideally, (1) don't use an icon at all (if you need to point a balloon at an icon, the icon was the wrong design in the first place) | 05:27 |
| lukas_ | daniels, may I ping you about http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12716 ? We two have this problem, and don't know how to help fixing that ... | 05:28 |
| mpt | mvo: (2) open the Update Manager when updates are available, and not otherwise | 05:28 |
| mvo | ogra_: it's in, but it just checks for the admin group right now | 05:28 |
| ogra_ | oh... i thought it checks for some magical line in the .desktop file too | 05:28 |
| mpt | mvo: and (3) default to it opening daily/weekly for sudoers and not at all for others (though they can turn it on if they want) | 05:28 |
| mpt | s/opening/checking/ | 05:28 |
| ogra_ | mpt, opening once a week like hitting you right in the face without asking ? i'd prefer a icon... | 05:29 |
| === ealden [n=ealden@219.90.94.223] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mpt | ogra_: oh, and (4) make it not take focus when it opens :-) | 05:29 |
| ogra_ | but still it hangs around on my desktop without being asked to do so... even if it doesnt takje focus, your windowlist entry will flash... | 05:30 |
| mpt | Having a balloon pop up in front of my work, with a hyperlink (!) I might click by mistake to turn off update checking permanently, would be more annoying to me than a window opening in the background | 05:30 |
| === rtcm [n=rui@217.129.142.72] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mvo | mpt: I'm still not happy with just opening a window that I have not asked for (even if it does not steal focus), I'll try to get at least (3) implemented (if technically possible) for breezy | 05:31 |
| mvo | mpt: this is a misunderstanding, the icon will stay, just the ballon will not shown again | 05:31 |
| mvo | mpt: but I see that the wording of the the baloon is "unfortunate", it will change | 05:31 |
| mpt | mvo: The problem you're trying to solve is that people don't install updates. Therefore the solution needs to be one where the easiest option is to click a button that installs the updates, not one where the easiest option is to click something that makes the notification go away. | 05:33 |
| === Diziet reads the diff between Debian's and Ubuntu's gs-esp. And I've found at least one undefined-behaviour bugfix. | ||

| ogra_ | mjg59, g-p-m has a --no-actions option, we should start it with that... yu can manually hibernate through the logout dialog, thats enough | 05:47 |

| elmo | mjg59: we don't support .commands files, I'm afraid | 05:50 |
| mpt | mvo: (1) I suggest changing the intro text to "Choose which languages should be available to people using this system." | 05:50 |
| mpt | mvo: (2) Rename "Translation" to "Translations" and "Inputs" to "Spelling" | 05:51 |
| mjg59 | elmo: You don't? Ah, right. | 05:52 |
| mjg59 | An upload hung part-way though | 05:52 |
| mvo | mpt: thanks, (1) fixed | 05:52 |
| mjg59 | s/though/through/ | 05:52 |
| mpt | mvo: (3) Move the explanatory text underneath the list, and have it say: "Translations include menus, dialogs, and help. Spelling includes dictionaries and grammar checkers. Some translations may not be available for some languages." | 05:52 |
| mvo | mpt: (2) also contains stuff like input methods for chinese etc, so I guess that may be a bit misleading | 05:52 |
| mpt | mvo: (2) oh, excellent. In that case it can be "Writing Aids". | 05:52 |
| === ogra_ hugs elmo very tight | ||

| mvo | mpt: (2) "Input" -> "Writing Aids" in the caption? | 05:53 |
| janimo | elmo, please sync wmaker from sid, thanks | 05:53 |
| mpt | so (3) "... Writing Aids include spelling dictionaries, grammar checkers, and IMEs." | 05:53 |
| elmo | mjg59: for now, just invoke me (or kamion/mdz as a fallback) | 05:54 |
| ogra_ | janimo, who approved that sync ? | 05:54 |
| janimo | it's universe | 05:54 |
| ogra_ | janimo, UVF still applies | 05:54 |
| janimo | mdz, said in principle universe is still ok, at least a week ago he said that | 05:55 |
| siretart | janimo: you still need approval from ogra or an delegate ;) | 05:55 |
| janimo | if particular packages are asked for, not en-masse | 05:55 |
| ogra_ | janimo, i'm fine with approiving it as long as it fixes a ftbfs or something | 05:55 |
| janimo | ok, ogra then please approve :) | 05:55 |
| ogra_ | janimo, rationaly please | 05:55 |
| xhaker | can someone help me about a gnome applet? i'm developing it and i can't manage to make it work in transparent panels | 05:55 |

| janimo | no ftbfs just a bugreport from a friend who uses 0.91 | 05:56 |
| janimo | and upstream 0.92 fixes it | 05:56 |
| janimo | something to do with windows not maximized after reloggin into session | 05:56 |

| janimo | sorry for being vague | 05:56 |
| janimo | unoffcial bugreport he just told me on IM half an hour ago :) | 05:56 |

| mpt | mvo: Does setting a language as "System default" automatically install it if it wasn't installed? | 05:57 |
| mvo | mpt: wording is fixed for (3). moving it down is easy enough, but it moves the text very close to the "System default" combo box. do you think that's ok? I will do another screenshot with the new version | 05:57 |
| ogra_ | janimo, i told you that you need approval already | 05:57 |
| elmo | ogra: if you want me to apply UVF to universe pls let me know who can approve them | 05:57 |

| mvo | mpt: ups, fixed, thanks | 06:02 |
| elmo | mjg59: and is laptop testing checking for that? | 06:02 |
| mpt | mvo: The explanation would probably work better all as one paragraph | 06:03 |
| mpt | mvo: Try "Default language:" instead of "System default:" | 06:03 |
| mjg59 | elmo: Does in Breezy, doesn't in Hoary | 06:03 |
| mjg59 | The driver doesn't support the hardware in Hoary | 06:04 |
| mpt | mvo: And then have an explanation under that, aligned with the left edge of the menu, saying "Used for new accounts and the login screen." | 06:04 |
| elmo | ok | 06:04 |
| mvo | mpt: thanks, one paragraph and "Default language" now | 06:04 |
| mpt | mvo: Finally, reduce the width of the window by about 30~40 percent ... It'll make lining up the checkboxes easier, and the menu look healthier | 06:06 |
| mdz | fabbione: did you have a chance to test the live cds? those are the ones which were bad before | 06:06 |
| mdz | ogra_: what I said was that it was a MOTU decision and that you could apply UVF or not according to your needs | 06:07 |
| mpt | mvo: I have an apology to make ... I stuffed up suggestion (1) | 06:07 |
| mpt | mvo: I think just "Languages available to people using this system:" would be sufficient | 06:08 |
| ogra_ | mdz, yes, and we decided to go with Kamions decision that approval is needed, but handled loosely | 06:08 |
| mpt | mvo: Then it would fit on a single line. | 06:08 |
| mpt | I think I'm done now. :-) | 06:08 |
| mdz | ogra_: Kamion's decision? | 06:08 |
| ogra_ | mdz, Kamion was very straigt telling me we should respect UVF | 06:08 |
| ogra_ | mdz, you then softened this a bit ... | 06:09 |
| mvo | mpt: ok, thanks | 06:09 |
| mvo | mpt: should be ready soon | 06:09 |
| mjg59 | Ok. In the worse case scenario, we can add a DMI quirk to fix-up the 6125. | 06:09 |
| ogra_ | mdz, but universe is in a very bad state, much worse then for hoary at this time... so approval makes sense if packages might break other packages | 06:09 |
| mpt | mvo: btw, how did you achieve that button layout in metacity? | 06:10 |
| mvo | mpt: the window has it's width because in the combo box is a entry like "English (United Kingdom of Great Britian and Nothern Ireland)" :/ | 06:11 |
| mvo | mpt: you need to use gconf-editor to get it, but I really strongly dislike the default where close is _so_ near to maximize | 06:11 |
| mpt | mvo: Agreed, I was hoping that was a Breezy default I was seeing :-) | 06:12 |

| ogra_ | highvoltage, hmm, i dont know what he means... i think we have different buildd setups and i doubt debian uses greminate and ssedlists | 06:29 |
| ogra_ | seedlists even | 06:29 |
| Treenaks | ogra_: it doesn't | 06:30 |
| ogra_ | highvoltage, so that might be the difference he refers to | 06:30 |
| bur[n] er | it would be easy to integrate firefox with liferea feeds if it did... or for that matter, can we register feed:// somehow so that blam, straw, liferea, or whatever rss reader you use would work? | 06:30 |
| Treenaks | bur[n] er: no, inventing new uri schemes is annoying | 06:30 |
| Treenaks | bur[n] er: use MIME types instead | 06:31 |

| mdz | highvoltage: if those are the words I used, there must have been more context ;-) | 06:31 |
| highvoltage | debian doesn't use seedlists? i thought that was the native way of configuring things in d-i? | 06:31 |

| mdz | highvoltage: a "build environment" is all the stuff which influences the building of software or packages. so it includes the compiler toolchain, library packages, etc. these things differ between debian and ubuntu. | 06:33 |
| Treenaks | bur[n] er: no, but you can complain :) | 06:33 |
| bur[n] er | very true... | 06:33 |
| mdz | highvoltage: another kind of "build environment", as ogra described, would be "the facilities and processes we use for building packages", which would be the buildd network. that is also different between debian and ubuntu. | 06:33 |
| highvoltage | mdz: ah, so that would refer to things like gcc, kernel version, etc? | 06:33 |
| daniels | mjg59: i wonder if it's related to any updates at all | 06:33 |
| bur[n] er | or i could just get in contact with teh livelines firefox extension and get them to support liferea ;) or patch it myself | 06:33 |
| bur[n] er | thanks for the feedback Treenaks | 06:34 |

| daniels | mjg59: could just be missing an accel->Sync() | 06:34 |

| ogra | mdz, so whats your word on mediawiki, pitti approved it in the end, but he wasnt happy to do it... we'll need it for wikipedia support in edubuntu... | 08:43 |
| {Seb} | i am correct in saying NetworkManager is broken? | 08:43 |
| === RavingMad is now known as HiddenWolf | ||
| mdz | ogra: pitti changed his mind? | 08:43 |
| ogra | janew and i convinced him, he didnt know about its importance for us | 08:44 |
| ogra | mdz, he still thinks its not good... thats why i want a last word from you about it | 08:44 |
| ogra | mdz, since you were involved in the process that brought us here... | 08:45 |
| mdz | ogra: in london we decided that mediawiki was what the community wanted | 08:45 |
| mdz | ogra: but that's orthogonal to whether it's supportable | 08:45 |
| ogra | mdz, exactly and we committed to have it if any possible | 08:45 |
| mdz | I'd like to hear pitti's comments on it, especially if he changed his mind since we last talked | 08:45 |
| mdz | ogra: I also think it's a bit late to add new complex applications to edubuntu; it's time to focus on stabilizing the preview release | 08:46 |
| mdz | ogra: do the daily CDs work? | 08:46 |
| ogra | mdz, it looks very odd for me that we will ship completely different stuff from what we commited... | 08:46 |
| ogra | mdz, nope... | 08:46 |
| mdz | ogra: working CDs are top priority | 08:47 |
| mdz | whether or not they contain mediawiki | 08:47 |
| HiddenWolf | ogra, it's better to ship something that works partially, rather than something that's great and feature-complete, but buggy, right? | 08:47 |
| ogra | i didnt test todays, the last one i tested still suffered from libcairo stuff (mondays) | 08:47 |

| doko | mdz: any word on the OOo2 update to milestone 125? just to know, if Mithrandir should build the amd64 package for m121, or the m125 | 08:49 |
| mdz | doko: I'm installing it right now | 08:49 |
| HiddenWolf | ogra, agreed, but at least you'll ship something workable... | 08:49 |
| ogra | i.e. we all said we want moin, all users said they want mediawiki, we committed to that, but in the end we ship moin | 08:49 |
| doko | mdz: ok, I'm away for about two hours | 08:49 |
| lamont | janimo: si? | 08:49 |
| ogra | its not that mediawiki isnt workable | 08:49 |
| janimo | lamont, eople.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/x/xfce4-panel/4.2.2-1ubuntu2/ | 08:50 |
| ogra | its just hard to support security wise | 08:50 |
| janimo | any idea why only powerpc got rebuilt today? | 08:50 |
| mdz | doko: I am leaning toward including it if it feels good | 08:50 |
| janimo | manualintervention? | 08:50 |
| mdz | doko: how much testing have you been able to do? | 08:50 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: an updated oo.o2-amd64 should target m125 since I think that is more likely | 08:50 |
| elmo | ogra: maybe we should make such hasty commitments in the future? | 08:52 |
| elmo | shouldn't too | 08:52 |
| lamont | janimo: so there's build logs there for all 4 architectures, ppc being the only successful one, and you need someone to read the logs and tell you why they failed??? | 08:52 |
| ogra | elmo, it wasnt hasty ... there was a two day discussion | 08:53 |
| janimo | lamont, no it seems only powerpc got rebuilt today | 08:53 |
| mdz | it wasn't a commitment | 08:53 |
| mdz | it was a survey | 08:53 |
| mdz | if we ship something that we can't support properly, they lose AND we lose | 08:53 |
| lamont | janimo: that'd be because either it hadn't been tried before, or happened to be given back as part of something else. | 08:53 |

| ogra | mdz, it caused the the expectation at the users that they'll be able to install wikipedia on whyt we ship | 08:54 |
| lamont | I'm betting it was infinity clearing up the buildds on ppc after some cleanup work there | 08:54 |
| mdz | ogra: that won't happen unless mediawiki is supportable | 08:54 |
| lamont | janimo: things with actual compile errors don't get automatically retried | 08:54 |
| ogra | mdz, ok, so should i resort to moin then and drop the inclusion report ? | 08:54 |
| mdz | ogra: have pitti mail me his thoughts about it | 08:55 |
| ogra | ok | 08:55 |
| mdz | ogra: and meanwhile concentrate on getting the CDs into shape | 08:55 |
| ogra | mdz, yup | 08:55 |
| janimo | lamont, looks like i386 and powerpc faild on the same thing (missing libpixmap) | 08:55 |
| janimo | I wonder why only powerpc got retried today (and what triggered the rebuild) | 08:56 |
| lamont | janimo: so what you really meant to ask from the start was 'please retry xfce4-panel on !ppc as well?'??? | 08:56 |

| janimo | seb128 is did the cairo transitioning stuff | 08:57 |
| lamont | well, to answer your original question, it was retried on ppc because one of us gave it back to the buildd's manually | 08:57 |
| janimo | I just didn;t know what's happening and whether I should start fixing, wait on seb, the build system noticing etc | 08:57 |
| janimo | the whole thing is very obscure to me :( | 08:58 |
| janimo | but thanks you're always being helpful :) | 08:58 |

| teprrr | hmm, there's no apt-front (dev) packages in ubuntu at all?! | 10:03 |
| mvo | teprrr: you will have to build it from svn | 10:04 |
| teprrr | mvo, hmm. is there some reason why it isn't included? | 10:05 |
| mvo | teprrr: it's under heavy development and the abi/api changes quite often (also I'm not sure if that is still the case, but it was some weeks ago) | 10:06 |
| teprrr | mvo, ah. okay.. | 10:07 |
| highvoltage | elmo: /win 13 | 10:07 |
| teprrr | what happened to GL/glx.h and other glx dev files? | 10:07 |
| highvoltage | sorry | 10:07 |
| mvo | teprrr: building from svn should be straightforward | 10:07 |
| teprrr | yeah, just wanted to test adept, but it's not that important.. just thought why there's no such thing | 10:08 |

| mvo | teprrr: IIRC mournfall wanted to link libapt-front statically against ept | 10:09 |
| teprrr | oh | 10:09 |
| mvo | teprrr: at least at the beginning | 10:10 |
| teprrr | mvo, okay.. now it's just how to compile kde without libtool and where's those missing gl(x) headers | 10:12 |
| mvo | teprrr: the joy of the x-transition :) maybe you need libgl1-mesa-dev? | 10:13 |

| teprrr | btw, should wajig search for packages from packages.ubuntu.com instead of packages.debian.org? | 10:18 |
| doko | mdz: most of my OOo2 testing is limited to starting the applications, loading old documents, scrolling, editing a bit. These docs are M*word/excel/ppoint docs from old projects. I didn't see any obvious regressions. Spent about 1 1/2-2 hours testing. I didn't test powerpc, but pitti did basic tests and couldn't find obvious regressions | 10:26 |

| mdz | doko: new ooo2 looks good to me | 11:36 |
| mdz | doko: let's do it | 11:36 |
| doko | mdz: fine :) | 11:41 |
| doko | mdz, elmo: please reply to the OOo2 help topic I sent you via email. the bonus side would be having it for translations in rosetta as well, and hope it's buildable for breezy+1 | 11:43 |
| mdz | doko: I don't think that having oo.o2 help in multiverse only is worth the effort of creating that package | 11:44 |
| mdz | doko: can we not pre-generate the help? what is its license? | 11:44 |
| === LinuxJones [n=willy@blk-222-221-81.eastlink.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| doko | mdz: the license would allow that. but we would need the sun classes for generating that help. it would be less maintainance work to put that package in mutiverse, but I would prefer putting the help into main as well, if we can put the pregenerated help in a package in main. | 11:47 |
| mdz | doko: if the license allows it, I prefer to have the pregenerated help in main | 11:48 |
| doko | fine, preparing that one next week | 11:49 |
| mdz | doko: perhaps the oo.o2 source package could have a build target which generates the help and wraps it in a source package? | 11:49 |
| mdz | then it would be easy to keep up to date | 11:49 |
| doko | mdz: exactly, same thing as we do with the -l10n package now | 11:49 |
| mdz | oh, I haven't looked at the -10n stuff. :-) | 11:50 |
| mdz | doko: mark says you expect to be able to have oo.o2 in rosetta for breezy | 11:50 |
| doko | it's basically: rename the package, rebuild the control file, add the rosetta translations, rebuild | 11:50 |

| jdub | mdz: permission to upgrade djvulibre by one micro version, required by evince? | 11:53 |
| jdub | (otherwise, it could happily drop into universe if we remove the build-dep) | 11:54 |
