Hobbseehi all03:23
lastnodehi Hobbsee 03:23
mdzlastnode: I will read what you say to me and respond when I can03:40
lastnodemdz, ok. sorry to bother you. it's like this - i've been writing a small support layer application for my local distro (www.taprobane.org). it's basically a bash script which uses dialog / Xdialog to gather user input. Based on that input, it attaches the relevant logs (for example, if the user says something is wrong with X, it will attach Xorg.log etc) and sends it via http to a php script on the server side. now, I've managed to get thi03:45
lastnodes working with wordpress via a plugin, and will be implementing XML-RPC shortly, to get it working with Joomla and other CMSs. I was just thinking, the server side script could also easily be modified to talk with launchpad, and if so, would any of your guys be up for a small demo?03:45
mdzlastnode: sure03:46
lastnodemdz, this idea actually came to me while helping out in #ubuntu. there were so many users who were coming in with problems, and we kept asking them to cat this log, and that log. i just thought, wouldn't it be simpler if a bash script could attach logs automatically, based on what is wrong with the system03:46
lastnodemdz, you find some sample output here, if you'd like a quick peek - http://plaintealiterati.org/poetry/suport-request-from-thebignoobnoobfactorycom/03:46
lastnode(in that example, the script has attached dmesg/lspci output)03:47
mdzdark gray on black is very hard to read03:47
lastnodesorry, that's not really a site meant for testing, but my personal hosting went down, so i had to use it03:47
lastnodemy apologies03:47
mdzI don't think there's an XML-RPC API for the support tracker at present, but I don't imagine it would be hard to add one03:48
lastnodeso theoretically, this could be plugged in to anything - forums, mailing lists, even irc03:48
mdzlaunchpad-users@ would be a good place to discuss it03:48
mdzI'm not sure that support requests can have attachments either, to be honest03:48
lastnodemdz, it's not attached really03:48
lastnodecurrently curl sends it in the body of the text03:48
lastnodethe logs, i mean03:48
lastnodeand since i use curl, it even returns a nice html reciept to the user, which can be opened in a browser03:49
lastnodeand since the server side is loosely coupled, one could easily write a plugin that pasted new requests in an irc channel via a bot03:49
lastnodein any case, i shall take this to launchpad-users03:49
lastnodethank you03:50
mdzwe have a concept for something similar for bugs, which uses infrastructure we already have for gathering system information from installed packages03:50
lastnodemdz, yes ive seen the bug info gatherer03:50
lastnodeit's pretty sweet03:50
=== infinity wishes people would contribute more to packages populating /usr/share/bug more usefully instead of reinventing this wheel every three months.
bddebianheh03:50
lastnodethis is er, more for support than for bugs, actually03:51
lastnodeis there a similar application for support? because ill stop this right now then :s03:51
infinitylastnode: Sure, but if good info-gathering scripts are in /usr/share/bug, you can have a support request tool that says "ahh, your problem is with X, I'll run the stuff from /usr/share/bug/xorg" and such.  Leverage a system that's already in place, for the benefit of all bug/support tools.03:52
mdzno, but it would be a good idea to use the same hooks for collecting data03:52
infinitylastnode: I have nothing against something that's geared toward generic support requests instead of bug reporting.  It's a good idea.03:52
lastnodeis /usr/share/bug ubuntu specific, or is a standard across most distros?03:52
infinitylastnode: It's Debian-specific.03:53
infinitylastnode: Came from the original "bug" bug report tool, then also got used by "reportbug", and others since.03:53
lastnodei see. that would work, really. the live cd im devving for is debian based as well. 03:53
infinitylastnode: The general idea is that packages ship scripts in there to help bug/reportbug decide what extra info to attach.03:53
=== lastnode looks through /usr/share/bug
infinitylastnode: Some packages have really good stuff there already, many don't have anything there at all.  Contributions either to Ubuntu or directly to Debian to beef up the contents of /usr/share/bug would make me a pretty happy camper.03:54
lastnodeinfinity, im just looking through the .sh scripts, and im not getting it03:54
lastnodeoh, right03:55
=== lastnode gets it after looking through apt/scripts
infinityNote the use of "presubj" as well, which is cool.03:56
infinityreportbug/presubj is a good one.03:56
lastnodeyou know what would be cool? if i could find a way to check if the distro is deb based or not, and then running a script that is appropriate03:56
infinityBasically, some quick "have you tried this?" FAQ answers to spit out to the user before they go to the trouble of submitting a support request or bug report and feeling like a fool when they get a 1-line canned response.03:56
infinitylastnode: Well, I'm not sure if it's true for all derivatives, but in general, most Debian derivatives will have /etc/debian_version on the system.03:57
lastnodeinfinity, presubj files seem to be just plain text?03:57
infinitylastnode: Other than that, it's pretty hard to tell.  The exitence of /usr/bin/dpkg doesn't really mean anything, I have it on some Solaris machine which are clearly not Debian-based, etc.03:58
lastnodeinfinity, i could just check for the existence of /usr/share/bug :)03:58
infinitylastnode: Yeah, presubj is just plain text presented to the user before they go to the effort of filling out an embarassing bug report. :)03:59
infinityLike, for instance:03:59
infinity(base)adconrad@cthulhu:/usr/share/bug$ cat vim/vim.presubj 03:59
infinityPlease use "vim -u NONE -U NONE" to verify that the bug you want to report03:59
infinityisn't caused by a configuration error.03:59
infinityHandy tips to prevent a user from spending a week tearing their hair out over a broken config.03:59
infinityThat sort of thing.03:59
lastnodeinfinity, yeah that makes sense04:00
lastnodeinfinity, so you were saying populating /usr/share/bug04:02
infinityIdeally.  It's one of those "good for the community" things. :)04:02
lastnodethat would be basically writing .sh scripts that first present a presubj and then attach the necessary logs for that app?04:02
infinityIf we make /usr/share/bug more useful, everyone benefits.  Debian and reportbug, Launchpad and whatever bug reporting tools we end up with, you and your support requesting tool, etc.04:03
infinityThe presubj stuff is just read directly by the reporting tool, not displayed by the script.04:03
infinityThe script in there is just a script that spits a bunch of stuff to stdout, which your tool collect.04:03
infinityWhether it's logs, debconf info, /etc/shadow, the sky's the limit.04:04
lastnodeinfinity, yeah it echoes. hmm, i guess the best way to go about this is to write an if {} routine within my current script04:04
infinity(I recommend against submitting patches to packages to output /etc/shadow in their bug scripts, though..)04:04
lastnodeinfinity, where would i submit presubjs or scripts i write, for review?04:05
infinitylastnode: As Debian or Ubuntu bug reports on the packages they affect.04:05
lastnodecool04:05
infinitylastnode: I'd prefer to see them as Debian reports, so we all get them, though duplicate reports in Malone and debbugs never hurts, if Ubuntu wants to be faster about integrating the changes.04:05
lastnodei guess debian makes more sense, right.. to go upstream direct?04:05

=== Hobbsee_ [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lastnodeinfinity, so launchpad-users@ is where i should go with this idea?04:09
infinitylastnode: Well, that's where you should go if you want to discuss an XML-RPC interface for the launchpad support tracker.04:09

=== zul_ is now known as zul
lastnodeinfinity, i guess one could also write a plugin to input the data directly in to the launchpad db04:14
lastnodealthough that would have to be by someone who already knows the architecture etc04:14
infinitylastnode: Well, the XML-RPC interface would essentially be that anyway. :)04:15
infinitylastnode: (but with a thin layer between you and the DB, obviously)04:15
infinitylastnode: We're not too likely to open up the postgresql port to the world to actually write TO it. ;)04:16
imbrandonabstration layers are good anyhow so if the db changes the app dosent have to ;)04:17
lastnodeyeah, of course04:17
lastnodei meant via a db object04:17

=== infinity looks for an incoming fist from sabdfl.
lastnodelike for the prototype wordpress plugin i just used the wordpress inbuilt calls04:18
imbrandonhahaha04:18
lastnodeso that's above the db04:18
imbrandonlastnode: a wp plugin for LP ? i would be interested in that04:18
infinitylastnode: It would probably just be a really simple XML-RPC call passing a massive struct.  So, it's pretty easy to do.04:18
lastnodeimbrandon, no, for my help support script04:19
lastnodeif anyone is interested in looking at, or hacking my script a little, please let me know04:19
lastnode:)04:20
lastnodeim still looking for a way to see if X is running on a box04:20
infinitylastnode: Ideally, simple things like "submit a support request" or "submit a bug report" in launchpad should be an extra 2 or 3 lines of code in your application, if it's being done right.  If it's not, talk to me and I'll sit down with brad again and make sure it is. ;)04:20
imbrandonlastnode: give me a url i wouldent mind poking at it a bit, i'm always hackin on wp04:20
lastnodei want to use dialog and Xdialog accordingly04:20

infinitylastnode: [ -n $DISPLAY ]  && echo "We're running from X"04:21
lastnodeI don't wanna miss Rich Bowen's intro to apache :)04:21
lastnodeinfinity, is $DISPLAY a good check?04:21
infinitylastnode: It's what everything else in the world uses.04:21
lastnodein some instances, could it be populated without X running?04:21
infinitylastnode: For safety, you can also fall-back if xdialog doesn't run.04:22
imbrandonlastnode: nearly everything checks for $DISPLAY04:22
lastnodeinfinity, ok, because i asked in #bash and i was told it was a bad way to check04:22

TheMusoinfinity: Fair enough.07:07
TheMusoI can't understand why they dlopen the bloody thing in the first place07:07
infinityTheMuso: *shrug*... Who knows.  But since we know the true path to the library, just fix the dlopen call to look for libbrlapi.so.1 or whatever.07:08

TheMusoinfinity: Ok.07:09

TheMusoThats some weird shit.07:10
infinityErr, wait.  It links to it AND dlopens it?07:10
=== infinity boggles.
TheMusoMy point exactly.07:11
infinityThere's some serious crack cloud surrounding that one.07:11
TheMusoI'll bet my bottom dollar that the code could be built without linking against it, if they dlopen it.07:11
infinityTheMuso: Anyhow, please revert the brltty change ASAP, before the window of "hey, the bug only existed for an hour, just --force-overwrite and leave me alone" gets too wide.07:11
infinityTheMuso: Then you can worry about fixing the above crack. :)07:11
Hobbseehah07:12
TheMusoinfinity: Ok.07:12
Hobbseebut dont you love all those bugs, and the accompanying dupes?07:12
infinityHobbsee: Yeah, but it's less hassle to put up with an hour of bug reports than a debian/control that's completely unreadable because you now have two packages replacing each other for no sane reason.07:12
Hobbseeinfinity: hah.  how'd that happen?07:13
infinityHobbsee: Moving a file from A to B, then back to A.07:13
Hobbseenow that really *is* on some seriously weird crack.07:13
Hobbseeinfinity: ah yeah, that'll do it.07:13
infinityTheMuso: BTW, who sponsored that upload for you?  I'd like to berate them for a bit. ;)07:15

TheMusoinfinity: Thanks./07:16
crimsuninfinity: yes?07:16
=== Hobbsee was thinking of the packages of TheMuso's she'd uploaded
infinitycrimsun: You sponsored an upload of a package that moved an .so symlink from a -dev package to a library package.  Please don't. ;)07:16
crimsunsorry07:17
infinitycrimsun: Just keep in mind that sponsorship is a quality control thing.  Be even more anal with sponsored uploads than you are with your own.07:17

infinityTheMuso: That upload looks fine.07:24
TheMusoOk thanks.07:24
infinityTheMuso: Though the reverted change does hilight that the previous change wasn't quite right.07:25
infinityTheMuso: In the previous change, when you moved a file from package A to package B, you should have made package B "Replaces: packageA (<= Last-Version-With-That-File)"07:25
infinityTheMuso: The fact that you didn't have to revert such a change means you forgot to do it in the first place. :)07:25
=== TheMuso is confused
infinityWhen a file moves between packages, you need to ell dpkg about it.  That's what the "Replaces" field is for.07:26

Riddellcbx33: you need a program that defines the methods and sits there waiting for them to be called, and does something when they are called11:49
Riddellso that's your server programme11:49
Riddelland you need a client program to do the calling11:50
cbx33well that's what I thought but on conversation with ogra, I got the impression there was one sitting there already11:51
cbx33that would pickup a message like exec /usr/bin/firefox11:51

pittiseb128: it works well now again11:58
Riddellcbx33: looks like it11:58
mjg59jdub: Yes11:58
Riddellman dcop is so much easier to understand than dbus11:59
mjg59jdub: It changes the duty cycle on the CPU but doesn't drop the core voltage, so you get a linear reduction in power consumption tied to a linear reduction in performance11:59
mjg59jdub: And the latency is a killer on a lot of machines11:59
jdubaha11:59
mjg59Modern P4s support cpufreq-centrino12:00
mjg59If it's got the est flag in /proc/cpuinfo12:00
jdubjust realised it works with the quebecistani craptop celeron m12:00
jdubso toying with it12:00
cbx33sorry Riddell 12:00
cbx33thanks so much for your help12:00
cbx33how would I address the users session dbus message bus?12:01
cbx33hehehe?12:01
Riddellbus = dbus.SessionBus()12:02
mjg59jdub: Right. The difference is that dropping the voltage means you get an exponential decrease in power consumption for a linear decrease in performance12:02
jdubKamion: is there a good edgy install image you'd recommend atm?12:03

ogracbx33, you dont, at all12:06
ograread the spec12:06
ogra(we also talked about it last time we discussed it, thats what the list parameter is for)12:06
ograas i said last time, make the client app just listen on the system bus and make it wait for messages12:07
ogra(just copy the necessary parts from willowng, change the namespace and list of messages, and put the listening part from there into a small listening app that runs in the users session)12:08

alleeKeybuk: I don't argue that there is nothing missing.  thing is what should be added.  (e.g. it's a bug in (our) release script that there's no copy of the GFDL in the tarball)07:01
Keybukwe don't know what the "underFDL" attribute does07:02
Keybukfor all we know, it could expand to a picture of Eric Raymond's butt07:02
bddebianFrightening :-)07:02
Keybukright, the upstream tarballs need to contain a copy of the FDL somewhere, _and_ the source should ideally contain a comment saying that it is licenced under that07:02
kylemsuddenly, i'm not hungry anymore.07:02
alleeKeybuk: you have to hack deeply in the build system to get something else then GFDL without any invariant section ;)07:02
bddebiankylem: :-)07:02
Keybuka top-level FDL file would imply that though07:02
Keybukallee: of course, the point is that somebody has to hack pretty deeply to discover that it's the GFDL that they're getting07:03
alleeKeybuk: yes, and no.  Just compile it.  That the way I did (and therefore didn't noticed your objections)07:04
Keybukthat only gives us permission to distribute the compiled result though07:04
Keybukthe source still doesn't contain permission to be distributed (or modified)07:04
alleeKeybuk: I assume you it's not enough to add a LGFL copy + a KDE standard doc license into the README?07:05
Keybukthat's enough07:05
Keybukbasically just as long as there's some text somewhere saying "you can distribute and modify this"07:06
=== toma diggs for the first doc tarball that went through debian
alleeOkay.  that's  quickly fixed.07:07
alleetoma: I'm sure you will not find it there.  I pesters Renchi with lots of stuff missing.  But obviously did some fixes by hand, not adding to -doc release script :(07:08
Keybukallee: thanks07:09

bddebianKeybuk: OK, thx07:21
mdzKeybuk: are you sure about a top-level copy of the license being sufficient?  surely an explicit statement that the license applies to the software is necessary somewhere07:27
Keybukmdz: we've never enforced that in the past?07:28
Keybukthere are many sources which contain a just a COPYING file07:28
mdzI know it's not been enforced by us or Debian, but it's always seemed fishy to me07:28

dmgthe grep through buildpackages for calls to chmod or other calls referencing configure08:53
dmgnot the most elegant way to solve your problem, but if something's changing the perms of that file, strace will catch it.08:54

Keybukor the configure script isn't in the tarball, but created by the diff.gz08:54
