[11:05] <sivang> BjornT_: can it now send email notification to team's MLs when a new support request is filed?

[11:11] <sivang> BjornT_: ah, I see. so it's almost finished. That is problably something stub has to add in the DB?
[11:13] <BjornT_> sivang: no, it's something i have to add UI for :), well there are some db changes as well involved, but stub only has to approve the db-patch.

[11:28] <ulinskie> hello got a problem
[11:28] <ulinskie> hello can anybody help me regarding the changing the theme in the wiki thru UserPreferences, mine always says password does not match even if it is already correct
[11:29] <ulinskie> I have already reset the password and did it again but still failure with my attempt
[11:29] <ulinskie> did I miss any step along the way?
[11:30] <mdke> ulinskie, does your browser remember the password and insert it automatically for the UserPreferences page?
[11:31] <mdke> if so, delete that and tell it not to
[11:31] <ulinskie> yes it does.. but I already cleared the password settingin firefox
[11:32] <mdke> and it still happens?
[11:33] <mdke> if you tell firefox not to insert the password, it should be ok
[11:35] <ulinskie> hmm did that but still not working
[11:37] <mdke> odd
[11:37] <mdke> perhaps one of the LP admins can check your password, if there is one around
[11:40] <ulinskie> mdke, yeah, I've been trying this for 3 weeks now
[11:40] <BjornT_> ulinskie: did you enter your password in the password field?
[11:40] <ulinskie> I am thinking of creating another account in lp just to check out if the problem works only in my account
[11:40] <ulinskie> BjornT_, yes sir
[11:40] <mdke> ulinskie, try clearing all your cookies/cache/saved passwords (or using a different browser)
[11:41] <ulinskie> mdke, I did that too and even used IE 
[11:41] <mdke> gosh that is a drastic measure
[11:41] <mdke> ok, must be a LP problem I guess
[11:41] <BjornT_> ulinskie: ok, don't do that ;) you should leave the password field empty, it's a known bug.
[11:42] <ulinskie> BjornT_, oic..
[11:42] <ulinskie> BjornT_, have there been other cases like this?
[11:43] <BjornT_> ulinskie: yes, you're not the first one. bug 3987 is about this problem.

[04:05] <kiko> andrewski_, has your public key been pushed to a keyserver?
[04:06] <kiko> andrewski_, if so, has it been recently altered and then repushed?
[04:06] <kiko> if so, has it been recently pushed?
[04:06] <kiko> if not, could you push it, wait 30 minutes, and retry?
[04:06] <andrewski_> kiko: hmm, good question.  i did push it to the ubuntu keyserver, but i just noticed that 'gpg --fingerprint' prints two public keys, so maybe that's it?
[04:06] <andrewski_> (i have no idea how two got there.)
[04:06] <kiko> what is your key id?
[04:07] <andrewski_> that's the 8 digit one?
[04:07] <kiko> that should suffice
[04:07] <andrewski_> one is C562D424, the other 84AE0EC0.
[04:12] <kiko> andrewski_, the first one is not in they keyservers
[04:12] <kiko> the second one is

[04:14] <kiko> and also

[04:22] <andrewski_> it's listed as a valid key in launchpad
[04:24] <SteveA> hi andrewski_ 
[04:24] <SteveA> i'll read up the scrollback
[04:24] <andrewski_> hi SteveA :)
[04:26] <SteveA> andrewski_: what can i help with?
[04:26] <SteveA> you have a gpg key listed in launchpad
[04:26] <SteveA> and on the keyservers?
[04:27] <andrewski_> SteveA: that's good; i'm not sure if it's on the keyservers or not, but it is in launchpad.
[04:28] <andrewski_> ultimately, i was just trying to sign the code of conduct, but it says "no public key".
[04:29] <SteveA> have you done gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 84AE0EC0  ?
[04:29] <andrewski_> yeah, a few days ago.
[04:29] <andrewski_> should i do it again?
[04:31] <SteveA> http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&search=0x84AE0EC0
[04:31] <SteveA> it is there
[04:31] <andrewski_> oh, cool.  (didn't know you could do that. :)
[04:31] <SteveA> are you sure you're signing the CoC with that exact key?
[04:32] <andrewski_> no; i have two listed when i do 'gpg --fingerprint'; i'm not sure how the second one got there, but i only need one.
[04:32] <SteveA> what command are you using to sign the CoC ?
[04:33] <andrewski_> gpg --clearsign
[04:33] <SteveA> the full command?
[04:33] <andrewski_> gpg --clearsign Desktop/UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.txt
[04:33] <SteveA> ok
[04:34] <andrewski_> shall i paste the .asc file?
[04:34] <SteveA> when you do gpg -K, do you get one or two keys back?
[04:34] <andrewski_> two
[04:34] <SteveA> ok
[04:34] <andrewski_> is it possible to get rid of one?
[04:34] <SteveA> so you have two secret keys there
[04:34] <SteveA> if you're sure you want to
[04:35] <SteveA> have you used gpg for signing or encrypting anything else?
[04:35] <SteveA> or has anyone else sent you stuff gpg encrypted?
[04:35] <andrewski_> no, they're dated for the feb 7 and 8. :)
[04:35] <andrewski_> maybe i forgot that i had already done it? ^_^
[04:35] <SteveA> ok, do like this
[04:36] <SteveA> gpg --edit-key 84AE0EC0
[04:36] <SteveA> you will be at a prompt like ">"
[04:36] <SteveA> you're editing your main key here

[04:37] <SteveA> vim ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
[04:37] <SteveA> or
[04:37] <SteveA> whatever editor you prefer
[04:38] <andrewski_> vim's good. ;)
[04:38] <SteveA> what do you have in that file
[04:38] <SteveA> ?
[04:38] <andrewski_> plenty
[04:38] <andrewski_> lots of commented stuff.
[04:38] <SteveA> do you have a line saying default-key that is not commented out?
[04:38] <andrewski_> no, that line is commented too.
[04:38] <SteveA> ok
[04:39] <SteveA> so uncomment it so that it becomes
[04:39] <SteveA> default-key 84AE0EC0
[04:39] <SteveA> oh, hang on...
[04:39] <SteveA> yes
[04:39] <SteveA> that's right
[04:39] <andrewski_> ok, one sec.
[04:40] <andrewski_> ok... now resign the code of conduct?
[04:40] <SteveA> yes, try that
[04:40] <SteveA> it should use the key you want now
[04:41] <andrewski_> aha!  that did it!
[04:43] <SteveA> great
[04:44] <andrewski_> and i can just delsig in the interactive editor to delete the other key?
[04:44] <SteveA> i don't know
[04:44] <andrewski_> ok, looks that way from the manpage.
[04:44] <SteveA> i try not to advise people on how to delete stuff, other than to tell them to keep backups"!
[04:44] <andrewski_> yeah, i think i'll back it up first, just in case. :)

[05:19] <SteveA> i think it was a freak occurence
[05:19] <SteveA> no, still breezy
[05:19] <SteveA> the fix is for firefox to have pages, not dialogs

[05:20] <sivang> ah, in dapper I already get those - minus the SSL cert approval
[05:20] <sivang> everything else, 404s, etc are pages now instead of pop ups
[05:25] <sivang> SteveA: would you like a repaste of what I PM'd you? 
[05:26] <SteveA> assume i didn't receive it when you sent it.  if it's still important, then okay
[05:26] <sivang> SteveA: okay, let' shope it's not too much waste of bits :)

[07:50] <matsubara> hi SteveA, could you review a patch to bug 2496?

[07:57] <SteveA> ok
[07:58] <matsubara> SteveA: I'll send it to you.
[07:59] <matsubara> SteveA: sent.
[08:03] <SteveA> matsubara: we need to use a specific str.encode() kind of thing, rather than str(), as str() will guess the encoding based on the system default of iso-latin1
[08:03] <SteveA> so, it is allowing latin1 characters through, i expect
[08:03] <SteveA> which will be confusing
[08:04] <SteveA> but also
[08:04] <SteveA> rather than adding try-except in many places, add a function to lib/canonical/encoding.py
[08:05] <SteveA> this function will return a boolean
[08:05] <SteveA> something like is_plain_ascii(some_string)
[08:06] <SteveA> and this would have its own inline doctest
[08:08] <matsubara> SteveA: ok

[09:36] <AlinuxOS> hello, I have a question: how can I see .po files statistics...? I mean translated fuzzy etc etc?
[09:57] <SteveA> matsubara: compare ''.encode and u''.encode
[09:57] <SteveA> matsubara: the first is a method on str, the second is a method on unicode
[09:58] <SteveA> if you try to encode from ''.encode('ascii'), first of all python needs not a str but a unicode to work with
[09:59] <SteveA> so it does unicode('')
[09:59] <SteveA> which gives you the UnicodeDecodeError that you're seeing
[09:59] <SteveA> this is an area where Python tries to pretend that str and unicode are the same, and implicitly fudges over it
[10:00] <SteveA> but, as you can see, this causes confusion and problems when you have literal strings that aren't pure ascii
[10:00] <SteveA> in launchpad, and in zope3 in general, we try to be much more careful about the distinction between str and unicode
[10:00] <SteveA> so, the functions in canonical.encoding will take either a str or a unicode, but not both
[10:00] <SteveA> and they will emit always unicode or always str
[10:02] <matsubara> well, I have the changes you suggested. Wanna take a look?
[10:03] <matsubara> SteveA: also, the canonical.encoding has a function commented on it, should I get rid of it ?
[10:03] <SteveA> matsubara: did someone leave a comment saying why it is commented out?
[10:03] <SteveA> matsubara: i'm pretty tired, so not at my best to focus on code.  can you mail it to me, and i'll look tomorrow?
[10:04] <matsubara> SteveA: ok, i'll mail to you. and no, there's no reason why the code is commented out.
[10:04] <SteveA> ok
[10:04] <SteveA> maybe use bzr annotate to find out who did it?
[10:05] <SteveA> i'll review your code tomorrow
=== SteveA --> sleep
[10:06] <matsubara> SteveA: ok, thanks.
