[02:25] sladen: yeah (not right now tho, it being 1am and all) [02:25] BenM: you /can/ use prelinking (apt-get install prelink). It's unlikely to become a default... [02:26] right [02:26] but what are the reasons behind not being a default [02:28] BenM: all the libraries in Ubuntu occupy more than 4GB of address space and you have to rebuild them all every time you upgrade anything [02:28] there's an option to account for that === BenM points out that both mac and fedora deal with the updating issue [02:28] also, if you are out of date, it's not "bad" [02:29] anyways, do you happen to have a pointer to any talk about this [02:29] elmo: okay, I'll ping you in the morning and get you to do xmodmap -pke | grep Num [02:29] sladen: cool, thanks === BenM would rather write a blog "i'm not sure why fedora prelinks and ubuntu doesn't" [02:30] rather not [02:31] BenM: those kinds of blogs are usually misinterpreted and taken very badly [02:31] exactly [02:31] BenM: Keybuk did various timings; I think one of the factors may have been that the percentage of the start-up time the prelinking provided turned out to be so small compared with the start-up time [02:31] yes [02:31] it does have memory benefits though [02:31] because it reduces the # pages touched === sfllaw [i=sfllaw@debian/developer/coleSLAW] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:33] BenM: try: http://www.google.com/search?q=prelink+scott+remnant [02:33] thanks === imbrandon [n=brandon@unaffiliated/imbrandon] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:33] i'm feeling good about ubuntu perf though [02:34] now that there's icon cache, in proc applets [02:35] anyone here tried the new qt4 designer ? or using it? for some reason i'm not getting any widgets [02:35] wondering if its just me or a bug in our packages === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:46] prelink is a red herring [02:47] imbrandon: you might have better luck in #kubuntu-devel [02:48] I'm going to start a webpage ...

[02:50] the what the who did for where? [02:50] oh [02:50] that's something else *entirely* [02:50] that's like our "readahead" package [02:50] but for the user's desktop too [02:50] ah, ok [02:51] prelink is when you futz around with shared libraries so that their symbols are already relocated when they're loaded [02:51] saving you from relocating every symbol on load of the application [02:52] it's an efficient way to massively increase your memory usage without any appreciable benefit in application startup time compared to an optimisation of the symbol table (which we do) [02:52] s/increase/decrease [02:52] increase [02:52] my measurements show decrease [02:53] *sigh* [02:55] what do I know about shared libraries, anyway? :) [02:55] probably more than me [02:55] :-) [02:56] with prelinking a library has to be loaded in exactly the same place every single time [02:56] as soon as you need to move the library's address, you lose the benefit [02:56] right [02:57] that means you have to analyse every application on the disk [02:57] and then ensure that every single application that could load a library loads it in the same place [02:57] which means you also have to move all the other libraries around as well === nekohayo_ [n=jeff@ip216-239-86-31.vif.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:57] so a library has a fixed load address and space in memory every single time it's loaded [02:57] so, you have to do work every time you upgrade [02:57] to keep the benefit [02:57] so a typical application will actually use libraries spread out over, say, 250MB of memory [02:58] ok [02:58] where if it could just load the library wherever it likes and relocate the symbols (the default) the libraries may only be spread into 10MB of memory [02:58] because they can just be loaded sequentially [02:58] but that's virtual memory [02:58] rather than spread wide [02:58] most desktop apps [02:58] probably don't need 2 gb of unfragmented address space [02:58] it's virtual memory, yes; but the mapping between virtual and physical memory is closer than you may think for speed reasons [02:58] ok [02:58] i don't know that much about the hardware level [02:59] while it's good "on paper", in practice it actually causes more memory usage [02:59] and remember, every time you disconnect virtual and physical memory, you have to futz in the processor, which actually slows things down again [03:00] might there be a small set of libraries that would be worth prelinking [03:00] say, the libgnomeui stack or something [03:00] prelinking also assumes that ALL symbols are relocated when the application starts === zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:01] not to mention that you have to calculate each relocation individually, and can't just do one for the library and work the rest out from there [03:01] when in reality, only those really critical symbols are relocated first time AND most of them can be calculated trivially [03:01] and the rest are just done whenever the function is first called, and the relocation cost is lost in the general idleness of the CPY [03:01] uh, CPU [03:02] it also assumes that libraries can be magically summoned into memory, and that most of the time is actually lost to relocation [03:02] while that's probably true for libc, and the gnome stack, which are nearly always in memory [03:03] anything else (I always pick on OpenOffice) needs to be hauled off disk [03:03] which involves I/O [03:03] which gives you plenty of free time while you wait for the disk to get around to it [03:04] given all of that, it actually turns out that there's benefit to arranging the symbol table a little more efficiently (so symbols hash better, and are easier to find) [03:04] because the majority of relocation time is spent in strcmp [03:04] we've done that since the beginning, iirc [03:04] ok [03:04] and Ubuntu consistently gets comments that it's one of the "snappiest and fastest" distributions [03:04] so, one of the things i'm interested in [03:04] even compared to prelink-crazy ones [03:04] is removing the extra writable memory [03:05] which extra writable? [03:05] for example, prelinking seems to help with gstreamer [03:05] the symbol table? [03:05] no, with stuff in .data [03:06] .data is initialised global data in code [03:06] it's not really that worrysome? [03:06] that needs relocation [03:06] like a table of pointers to char*s [03:06] some apps like lots of these [03:06] we need to fix them [03:07] but prelinking seems to act as a nice stopgap measure [03:07] because it pre-relocates [03:07] I can't think of many examples off-hand that do that [03:07] there are *LOTS* [03:07] remember not to confuse char * with char[] :) [03:07] try looking at the smaps for mixer_applet [03:07] specifically, gstreamer [03:08] all of the plugins [03:08] have TONS of tables in .data [03:08] are the tables intended to be modified? [03:08] many of which seem to get made dirty memory [03:08] no, they are const [03:08] but have pointers [03:08] then they should be declared const [03:08] and so need relocation [03:08] and then they get put in .text [03:08] that doesn't matter [03:08] if you have const char** x = {"a","b","c"...} [03:08] it's still trouble [03:08] i know you can do tricks [03:08] and then you just relocate the .text section, and remember to perform a relative relocation the first time the pointer is asked for [03:09] but not everyone does [03:09] gcc takes care of all this [03:09] or just buy an AMD64 :p [03:09] dunno, from what i can tell, it's an actual issue [03:09] of course, large amounts of .text or .data in a shared library is generally naughty [03:09] so you have a point there [03:09] yes, i know [03:10] but, fixing it [03:10] is a major undertaking [03:10] do you have an example of a source file that does that, btw?

[12:18] ^in nautilus [12:19] dholbach: ah, that one [12:19] dholbach: I joined #u-b [12:19] NB this printer is very old. 1988? === Kinnison [n=dsilvers@haddenham.pepperfish.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:20] Diziet: hm, then it might not yet auto-identify itself yet; dmesg should have a line with parport0 with the printer name if it already advertises itself === lucas [n=lucas@ubuntu/member/lucas] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ploum [n=ploum@ubuntu/member/ploum] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:23] I think I have another one which is somewhat newer. [12:23] Let me try with this one first. [12:26] [4294686.868000] parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. [12:26] [4294686.868000] parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] [12:26] But no printer name. === _jdong [n=jdong@d149-67-101-201.try.wideopenwest.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:26] gnome-cups-manager doesn't show it. [12:27] hi all! happy hug day! :D [12:28] Diziet: that's normal kernel logging for detecting the parport, nothing new about it [12:28] Diziet: there is no probing of what is connected after the parport === \sh [n=shermann@unaffiliated/sh/x-000000002] has joined #ubuntu-devel === elkbuntu [n=melissa@203-214-128-159.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:30] Let me try with this less prehistoric printer I found under a pile of dust. [12:32] fabbione: pitti seemed to think that there was a way for the printer to report its name and that this would show in dmesg (if the printer supported it). [12:32] Diziet: yes, it's a protocol called ISO-1284 or so; and it apparently worked fine in breezy [12:32] Diziet: i have never seen it.. the kernel doesn't drive the printer (not on parport) [12:33] Diziet: I heard a report that modprobing the 'ppdev' module fixed it; maybe you can try that? [12:33] I have a breezy install on this machine too, so I could try that. [12:33] OK, sure. [12:33] I still don't know whether this is a cups or a kernel regression [12:34] Err, have you looked at the code in CUPS ? Is it using ppdev to speak to the printer directly ? [12:34] Diziet: also, does 'lpinfo -v' show a parallel printer (unnamed) at all? [12:36] Not AFAICT. I know it's plugged in because the printer got reset during the bootup., [12:36] Diziet: hm, 'lp' module is loaded? [12:36] modprobe lp fixed the output from lpinfo -v [12:36] direct parallel:/dev/lp0 [12:36] ah, that's it [12:36] And various similar. === jdong_ [n=jdong@d149-67-101-201.try.wideopenwest.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:37] Diziet: the missing lp module was a bug recently fixed in ubiquity [12:37] Diziet: so you seem to have the same problem - printer is detected, but without a name [12:37] Diziet: so, it would be interesting to see now whether it works with a breezy kernel [12:38] Yes, this dapper install was last updated some time last week I think. [12:38] Let me reboot into breezy. [12:38] Do you have any info about which printers we would expect to support this protocol ? The one I'm trying now is an Epson Stylus 800+. [12:39] Previously a Star LC10 colour. [12:39] Diziet: no, unfortunately not, but from what I can tell, pretty much all resonably modern ones should do [12:39] Some would argue that `reasonably modern' doesn't cover any parallel port printer :-). [12:39] Diziet: 'modern' in the domain of parallel printers :) [12:40] OK, this one has loaded lp properly. [12:41] lp module is a different bug, but that's the easy one and sorted [12:41] Diziet: does dmesg | grep parport reveal the printer name now? [12:41] No. [12:42] And gnome-cups-manager doesn't seem to see it. [12:42] I think this is my newest printer. [12:42] ok, then it seems your printer can't advertise itself [12:42] Diziet: thank you for the time for checking [12:42] There's the LJ6 upstairs but I don't want to carry it down. [12:42] Sure. [12:42] Diziet: what if you just try to print? [12:42] does that work? [12:43] fabbione: I'm pretty sure it would. [12:43] fabbione: printing works (in the bug reports), you just have to manually configure the printer [12:43] I mean, if I echo things to /dev/lp. [12:43] The alleged bug is lack of autodetection. [12:44] This breezy has about four test printers set up from various earlier experiments but I don't think that should make any difference. [12:47] Diziet: g-cups-add only shows printers that are not yet configured [12:49] pitti: None of these were on the parallel port. [12:50] And none of them were the same kind of printer as these two I just tried. === raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jdong_ [n=jdong@d149-67-101-201.try.wideopenwest.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:01] dholbach: How is the new g-p-m holding up for you?

[04:21] elmo, yes, it should send pokes on a regular base to gnome-screensaver [04:21] Well, actually we're preparing to add dbus deps into gnome-session, yeah :) [04:21] Kinnison: hmm, I'm not familiar with dbus, is there a single-line function for this ? [04:22] (like in gpm-power.c or so ?)

[04:24] and thus can't poke g-s- [04:24] s [04:24] lamont: if you call that with proxy,"Suspend",&error,G_TYPE_INVALID,G_TYPE_INVALID then it should work [04:24] lmanul: ^^ === Kinnison kicks his fingers [04:24] ogra: only for xscreensaver-command which doesn't have --disable [04:24] Kinnison: Great ! That's all I need, thanks a lot :) [04:24] lamont: sorry, bad tab completion [04:24] lamont: test it obviously :-) [04:24] --disable was just a typo [04:24] lmanul: ^^ [04:24] lamont: sorry === Kinnison cries [04:24] Kamion, it will stay deactivated if you kill ubiquity then [04:25] ogra: not according to the xscreensaver-command documentation [04:25] hmm, right [04:25] xscreensaver-command --deactivate is equivalent to gnome-screensaver-command --poke [04:26] Kamion: #44108 [04:26] or #44018 even, dyslexia rules ko [04:27] bug 44108 [04:27] :P [04:27] bug 44018 [04:27] Malone bug 44018 in ubiquity "screensaver kicked in while ubiquity was creating partitions" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/44018 [04:28] elmo, would be nice to note which screensaver daemon that was :) [04:28] ogra: irrelevant [04:28] ogra: I've no idea - it's a flight 7 live CD [04:28] it's almost certainly a ubiquity problem [04:28] ah,k [04:29] hey guys - has there been any discussion on putting the removable devices in side a submenu of places?

Ok, so I guess I should handle Reboot with GDM [04:35] I assume because g-p-m having a reboot action would be a bit bonkers === OculusAquilae [n=oculus@pD950826E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:39] Kamion: hmm, any idea about this error 22 stuff? I assume that means the grub on /dev/hda is pointing at the wrong place?

It is not #defined anywhere in the g-p-m code ?...

[06:02] consider a diversion like this: 'diversion of /etc/conf.foo to /etc/conf.foo.distrib'. if /etc/conf.foo exists, and on installation of foo, it places a /etc/conf.foo, why does dpkg give me a conffile prompt? this does not seem to happen in debian [06:02] don't divert conffiles.

[08:32] perhaps that is an inappropriate question [08:32] mdke: ;) [08:33] Treenaks: I guess it's choking on one of my filters or something. [08:33] works fine here too. except threading, which is ballsed up [08:34] threading seems to be doing fine for me [08:34] much better than it used to be [08:35] BenC; have there been changes to the io scheduler between dapper and breezy? [08:36] desrt: depends, I think -server is using a different io scheduler [08:36] BenC; the latency of small io requests while big sequential operations are occuring has gone through the roof [08:36] BenC: I've got thread problems. I can't expand and collapse using keyboard shortcuts, collapse all threads doesn't work, and it doesn't focus on the thread when I expand it [08:36] all of them are enabled, so you can choose with a boot option [08:36] BenC; desktop. i've tried antic and cfq. [08:37] desrt: perhaps it's more to do with preempt and/or HZ=1000 [08:37] BenC; like if i'm copying a big file between two drives then typing ':wq' in vi with a small file open is a 15 second affair [08:37] isnt there a sysctl for the scheduler now [08:37] trying to figure what -server has [08:37] tseng; deadline, i think [08:37] desrt: odd, I haven't noticed that, but I have heard something similar from one other person [08:37] desrt: good, thats what i do manually anyway [08:37] meh? really [08:37] tseng; and you change the scheduler on a per-device basis with a /sys/block/___/ file [08:37] it's queue/scheduler or something [08:37] oh yeah [08:37] deadline's fine for webservers, but anything else really ought to be CFQ IME [08:37] desrt: could just be the driver for your disk [08:38] BenC; hum. === enrico|mex [n=enrico@201.160.17.234.cableonline.com.mx] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:38] i wonder if maybe it's submitting an excessive amount of tagged requests [08:38] $ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler [08:38] noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq [08:38] the default is AS [08:38] for everyone it seems [08:38] deadline on -server, i think [08:38] that was -server [08:39] anyway... bear with me here [08:39] I thought fabio has changed the -server scheduler [08:39] if the disk driver had like 100 tagged io requests issued it would take a long time for them to come back [08:39] and they'd all have to come back before the drive started servicing the small task for the other process [08:39] desrt: yeah, the queue could just be too damned big [08:40] and nothing the io scheduler could do would change that [08:40] or maybe the drive has its own elevator built in and is trying to group the similar requests too agressively [08:40] hmm! lots to think about [08:41] i'm using ata_piix on an ICH5 mainboard, btw [08:41] with western digital 16MB cache drives [08:42] two of these -- WD2500JD-00H [08:42] were you using ata_piix in breezy? [08:42] ya. i'd imagine so [08:43] BenC: uli> yeah, I still remember the glibc bug I filed that was exposed by something in tar, which he blew off on the basis that if it were a problem the tar maintainer would have told him about it [08:43] ICH5 doesn't support AHCI [08:43] BenC: so Paul forwarded my mail back to Uli as a bug report, and he fixed it then ;-) [08:43] Kamion: sounds all too familiar :) [08:45] heh [08:45] desrt@moonpix:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=big bs=1G count=4 [08:45] with this running vi locks up === zyga [n=zyga@ubuntu/member/zyga] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:46] 100% reproduceable for like 15-30 seconds [08:46] music playing is quite fine though [08:46] hey everyone [08:47] I've found a pecuilar USB flash disk that doesn't work under linux [08:47] zyga: sudo udevmonitor -e, plug it in, paste the modalias line [08:47] any hints on where to give the information about it? [08:47] Keybuk: ay [08:47] Malone? [08:49] Keybuk: the strange thing about that device it that it appears to be two USB devices [08:49] BenC; any chance at all this could be caused by having no swap?

[10:12] see ya mate [10:12] *bookmark* === dholbach hugs thom [10:12] mvo: ping [10:13] doko: pong === zyga could ask again [10:20] anyone from .de want a free itanium mobo part? [10:26] zyga: I don't know how useful just the daughtboard would be; you might be better ebaying it, or emailing the debian hardware recycling project [10:27] sladen: I just ebay'ed it in :) [10:27] hmm [10:27] I'll google the latter === pvanhoof [n=pvanhoof@d54C0E27E.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:36] zyga: http://www.debian.org/donations#equipment_donations [10:36] thanks [10:40] Does Ubuntu not use modules.conf any more? [10:42] sfllaw: not in aaaaaaaages [10:42] I'm old, aren't I? [10:42] in fact [10:42] What's the substitute? [10:42] I'm probably correct in saying Ubuntu has *never* used modules.conf [10:42] as that's a configuration file for modutils [10:42] which is the toolset for 2.4 kernel [10:42] :p [10:42] files in /etc/modprobe.d [10:42] though I should probably ask why you're interested, as much of the use for modules.conf isn't covered by that [10:43] e.g. "adding a char-major-blah to auto-load a module when the device is touched" is bogus, and should be rethought as "the module wasn't loaded automatically in the first place" === pitti [n=pitti@ubuntu/member/pitti] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:43] The simple case of finding out which arguments are attached to a module being loaded. [10:43] ah right [10:43] modprobe.d files specify default args, right? [10:43] then yes, files in /etc/modprobe.d [10:43] Brilliant. [10:44] generally speaking, if the bug is asking for one of those to always exist, then I actually go and fix the damned driver [10:44] the only few cases where I haven't are usually because it was "too hard" [10:44] Bug #43738 [10:44] Malone bug 43738 in linux-source-2.6.15 "No sound" [Normal,Needs info] http://launchpad.net/bugs/43738 [10:45] It's suspicious because snd claims that it's being passed an Unknown parameter 'device_mode' === human_blip [n=mike@220.157.65.236] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:46] aye, makes it sound like he has "options snd device_mode=" in /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* [10:47] usually a good trick is to ask for: [10:47] modprobe -n -v --first-time snd [10:47] or whatever he tried to prove [10:47] that will show you the options passed to insmod :) [10:48] Ah. [10:48] Well, that says "Module snd already in kernel." on my box... [10:48] it would :) [10:48] But I suppose since he can't load it. [10:48] on his, it won't [10:48] :) [10:48] He could also have something in /boot/grub/menu.lst, eh? [10:49] not sure, I have a vague remembering that kernel command-line options aren't relevant for modules [10:49] Hmm. [10:49] I remember Ben compiling something ide-related into the kernel to get it to recognise the common command-line option [10:49] (it was expecting it as a module parameter otherwise) [10:50] heh @ bug 41134 [10:50] Malone bug 41134 in network-manager "Does not store WPA-Enterprise password in keyring" [Unknown,Unknown] http://launchpad.net/bugs/41134 [10:51] dieman: do you think you could avoid your VACATION AUTO-RESPONDER from doing that [10:51] Heh. [10:51] Keybuk: Thanks. [10:51] woo, I have NM bugs down from 90 to just 35 [10:51] 0.3% ! [10:51] w00t [10:52] Keybuk: resolving things at random is cheating ;-) [10:52] thom: I'm not, I've actually been doing it properly [10:52] and filing upstream too [10:53] later === rgould [n=rgould@S010600014a5e5049.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:05] man, I'd forgotten how hard extracting patches from CVS was [11:06] you may diss having global revisions in svn, but it's so much better than the alternative [11:09] I think I prefer the bzr method [11:09] global revision per branch [11:09] without SVN's "lump everything in one repository" [11:09] cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome rdiff -u -D "Thu Apr 20 20:39:50 2006 UTC" -D "Thu Apr 20 20:49:50 2006 UTC" NetworkManager [11:09] ^ that's just wrong === ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:11] Keybuk: I used to use cvsps. [11:11] Keybuk: You may find it less painful. [11:11] Albeit awfully slow. === Evaso2 [n=Marem@host43-7.pool871.interbusiness.it] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Client] [11:15] Keybuk: nod (to prefering bzr) [11:17] Mithrandir: How do I kill framebuffer in the livecd startup? [11:18] Oh, I need to drop it from usplash as well [11:18] mjg59: remove splash from the command line? [11:18] Mithrandir: Doesn't seem to be adequate [11:18] mjg59: casper doesn't touch the framebuffer, iirc. [11:19] Ok, let me try that again [11:20] well, blow me, it actually builds === Keybuk uploads it [11:20] sfllaw: ping === human_blip [n=mike@220.157.65.236] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:21] Mithrandir: Something seems to load it even if I don't pass splash [11:21] which framebuffer driver? [11:21] they should be all blacklisted [11:21] unless a new one has snuck in [11:21] vga16 [11:22] highvoltage: Pong. [11:22] So it's not udev [11:22] hmm, no such module :) [11:22] Keybuk: The module is vga16fb [11:22] It's autoloaded by usplash [11:22] vga16fb [11:22] sfllaw: hi there. remember to create the LP dial-up team, following last night's TB discussion ;) [11:22] right [11:22] But seemingly also by something else, unless usplash is b0rked [11:22] highvoltage: It's on my todo list. [11:22] Near the top. [11:23] sfllaw: great. goodnight! [11:23] Because the list is getting mighty long. [11:23] highvoltage: Night! [11:23] mjg59: weird; I'm fairly sure casper doesn't touch the framebuffer. [11:23] Mithrandir: Hm === comfrey [n=comfrey@h-64-105-215-74.sttnwaho.covad.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:23] mine is quite long too, but i have an entry that says 'bug sfllaw about lp team' :) [11:23] mjg59: I can't find "framebuffer" or "vga" in the entire source tree. [11:23] highvoltage: Sweet! [11:23] :p [11:23] Mithrandir: Right === chris38 [n=chris@LSt-Amand-152-31-26-96.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:34] pitti: hi, around? [11:34] carlos: should I better run fast? === Kamion boggles at "PC Answers" having a five-page feature on Ubuntu [11:35] PCA is a UK magazine, last I checked with a strong Windows bias [11:35] although one of the better Windows mags [11:36] feature> and shipping breezy on their cover DVD [11:36] pitti: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MissingPotFiles [11:36] pitti: I updated it [11:36] pitti: there you have a list of domains I don't know where they come [11:37] pitti: others that you have and you should not have in your packages [11:37] Znarl: thanks for the wiki! does henrik have access to the wiki theme stuff too, as well as the static webspace? We need to do some theme and config tweaking [11:37] carlos: ah, nice [11:37] pitti: and the list from Riddell should also be ignored [11:37] carlos: the ones assigned to you are pending review in Rosetta, and are fine in the packages? [11:37] pitti: there I have also the list of translations domains that I need either import manually or check if should not be on language packs [11:38] tseng: beagle is pending upload; does it need an UVF exception approval or so? [11:39] pitti: tomorrow export should have all translation domains fixed except for the ones I listed on the wiki [11:40] carlos: ok, I'll take a look at the list tomorrow and sort out some bogus ones ('test' is a good candidate) [11:40] pitti: cool, thanks [11:43] I will try to have all domains sorted tomorrow to get a full export on Friday, or at least most of them [11:50] night !!
