Amarantheww, apport opened firefox instead of epiphany10:43
Amaranthor does launchpad-integration do that bit?10:43

pittiAmaranth: fundamental problem is that gnome-open doesn't allow you to specify 'open a new window'10:44

seb128I told I would send a patch but I didn't do it yet ;)10:44

cypher1_Keybuk: hi are you there01:19
Hobbseecypher1_: probably more helpful if you actually say what you want01:19
cypher1_Hobbsee: hi.. no it was about the genpower and /usr/include/initreq.h issue01:20
cypher1_Hobbsee: do you remember it ?01:20
dholbachRiddell: kdebluetooth doesn't work for me - it'd probably help if somebody with a complete kde environment could have a look01:20
Hobbseedholbach: send me a bluetooth phone, then we'll talk :P01:20
StevenKI have a bluetooth phone, but no bluetooth in my laptop01:21
cypher1_i was doing merge of genpower.. but genpower depends on sysvinit..01:21
=== mnepton can test from the cert lab in ~18 hours
Mithrandircypher1_: so it probably needs porting to upstart, then.01:21

dholbachRiddell: thanks... if you need anything more of me, let me know.01:23
cypher1_Mithrandir: i meant the lot of changes that *may* happen01:23
Keybukcypher1_: genpower uses the /dev/initctl socket?01:23
cypher1_Keybuk: sorry have not checked01:23
Mithrandircypher1_: you'd probably want to talk to genpower upstream about making it possible to compile with upstart support (and if necessary add the support for what it needs to upstart)01:24
cypher1_Mithrandir: ok..so if i make changes for making it work with upstart.. will it be acceptable ?01:24
cypher1_Keybuk: i will check it when i am back at home. hope that is fine :)01:25
Keybukcypher1_: to make it work with upstart, you want to use the libupstart library found in the upstart source01:27
Mithrandircypher1_: well, it's not a merge per se, but I wouldn't get too hung up about that.01:27
cypher1_Keybuk: ok thanks :) i will try using it01:28

mvo_hey zyga! 05:25
mvo_zyga: happy new year to you :)05:25
iwjmvo_: There's no problem with me making getMenuData read and edit existing menu-data/*.desktop files as well as merely sometimes overwriting them, is there ?05:30
mvo_iwj: there shouldn't be, that is what addPopconData.py is doing 05:31
iwjOh, yes, so it is.05:32
mvo_why would you overwrite them?05:32
iwjMy thing wants to be in getMenuData because getMenuData is already churning through all the .debs.05:32
mvo_right. it should be fine to just mangle the extracted desktop file05:33
mvo_in fact, add popcon data could/should probably be part of that run too05:33
iwjgetMenuData is written to overwrite any of the existing entries in menu-data which disagree with the package's data.05:33
=== persia [n=persia@p7145-ipbf1002marunouchi.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mvo_oh, I now see what you mean. what would be the reason to read/edit instead of overwriting? fix wrong mime types in the desktop file in the archive?05:34
iwjWell, in my case I want to add a field even to existing desktop files.05:34
iwjSo I merge the field value (which I get from the .deb) with the rest of the desktop file from menu-data.05:35
persiaMithrandir: geser suggests I should ask you to give-back rapidsvn.  It built locally for me, although all the buildds failed last month due to an insufficient version of libsvn (which has since been fixed).05:36
sfllawheno: Thanks.  I have.05:36
=== silwol [n=silwol@193.170.132.134] has left #ubuntu-devel []
mvo_iwj: the getMenuData code adds some field (X-AppInstall-Package for example) already after the extraction. why would you need to read the old desktop file first before writing the new one? the only reason I can think of is to correct incorrect data in the desktop file of the package05:38
mvo_or am I missing something?05:38
iwjThe gnome-app-install source contains a directory menu-data with a bunch of desktop files for packages which don't have their own, right ?05:39
iwjSo those desktop files I have to read (to find which package they belong to) and perhaps edit.05:39
mvo_iwj: the ones that do not have a desktop file in the package are in menu-data-additional/05:40
iwjAnd given that, it's easier to just edit all of the desktop files in menu-data near the end rather than treat differently the ones getMenuData generated.05:40
iwjmvo_: Err, right.05:40
henosfllaw: cool! Are you ready for a flood of ISO testers from the forums? :)05:40
mvo_iwj: menu-data are all from the archive (also some overwrites are applied there)05:40
Mithrandirpersia: given-back.05:40
henosfllaw: you should probably register an account there, btw05:41
iwjOh, I see.  You mean that I only have to read the ones in menu-data-additional since the others are autogenerated.05:41
mvo_iwj: oh, so you where talking about menu-data-additional all the time :) ? let me re-read the disussion then 05:41
mvo_iwj: yes05:41
iwjI thought that the distinction between menu-data and -additional was something to do with main/universe.  Evidently I was wrong :-).05:41
persiaMithrandir: Thanks.05:41
mvo_iwj: sorry for that misunderstanding, I will put it in the README file 05:42
sfllawheno: Will do.05:42
iwjSo err, I can fix up the menu-data ones fine but I need to edit menu-data-additional too as I say.05:42
iwjSo getMenuData doesn't currently know anything about the menu-data-additional directory.05:42
mvo_iwj: yes, the m-d-additional dir is maintained manually (by-hand) because it is rather small. 05:43
iwjRight.  But I do want to add this extra field automatically.  May I do that ?05:43
=== persia [n=persia@p7145-ipbf1002marunouchi.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp] has left #ubuntu-devel []
iwjI suppose I mean: is it OK if I make   getMenuData menu-data   edit stuff in menu-data-additional too, or is that too horrid ?  Otherwise the cron job has to change.05:44
mvo_iwj: that should be fine as long as it edits only the parts that it is concerned with (X-AppInstall-Codec)05:45
iwjRight.05:45

martiiho folks noone was able to help me on #ubuntu09:44
martiiI do net install09:44
martiihow can I force proxy? for installation?09:44
martiias I was not asked about proxy during installation09:44
lifelessMithrandir: got a second ?09:45
Mithrandirlifeless: sure09:45
lifelesshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDShareThisCD <- has anything been done on this ?09:45
cjwatsonmartii: putting mirror/http/proxy=http://foo.bar:8080/ on the kernel command line at boot time should do it09:45
lifelessMithrandir: Looking to get livecd netbooks working for LCA, dont care about booting of the CD to share it, just about the clients booting live and then installing locally09:46
martiido i need all of those or just one?09:46
cjwatsonmartii: or use expert mode09:46
martiiI mean mirror http09:46
cjwatsonmartii: all of what?09:46
Mithrandirlifeless: no, not really.  There are some patches in the Debian casper package to make it easier, but I haven't merged them yet.  Hoping to do so tomorrow.09:46
cjwatsonthat's a single argument09:46
martiiin expert mode it asks me too much questions09:46
martiiok thanks09:46
lifelessMithrandir: and for some reason your name came up w.r.t. to it09:46
cjwatsonmartii: mirror/http/proxy=URL_OF_YOUR_PROXY09:46
bddebianFolks is there somewhere in the Debian policy about requiring manpages??09:46
martiijust checking it now09:46
mjg59bddebian: Yes09:47
cjwatsonmartii: please pass that on to #ubuntu so that they know next time09:47

martiiok09:47
cjwatsonbddebian: section 1.209:47
lifelessMithrandir: what do they do, do I need to roll a custom casper right now to consider this ? (the clients will want to be running and installing edgy)09:47
cjwatsonbddebian: er, section 12.109:47
lifelessMithrandir: I'll be doing the work to make this happen, so I'm just gathering intelligence right this second :)09:47
martiicjwatson: doesn't work09:48
bddebianThanks mjg59, cjwatson09:48
martiicjwatson: I gave it IP:port09:49
martiiand I got info about bad archive mirror09:49
Mithrandirlifeless: you need to change the script scripts/casper in the casper package to mount the root fs (probably based on some kernel param you get from /proc/cmdline) and then unionfs mount a tmpfs on top.09:49
Mithrandirlifeless: so yeah, you need to make a custom initrd.09:49
lifelessah, its doesn't use initramfs ?09:50
Mithrandirit does.09:50
Mithrandircasper is just a custom initramfs.09:50
lifelessok09:51
lifelessnp09:51
Mithrandirif you don't pass boot=casper to a casper initramfs, it'll behave just like a normal initramfs (but is a little bit bigger)09:51
lifelessso, add boot=casper to the tftplinux configuration, and have the script scripts/casper altered to know the nfs path to the root fs.09:52
Mithrandiryeah.09:52
Mithrandirand hope unionfs and nfsroot doesn't blow up too badly.09:53
lifelessyah09:53
lifelessI'm going to do a few test installs today I hope, see if its fucked or not.09:53
bddebiancjwatson: Though I have an upstream author that refuses to do a manpage because it has a gnome help page in docbook.  What do I do about that?09:53
lifelessif its totally fucked, I'm wondering about having root use the iso image over NBD09:53
bddebianAnd docbook-to-man pukes :-(09:53
lifelessas a way to work around the unionfs issues09:53
mdkebddebian: that's no reasoning at all!09:53
Mithrandirlifeless: yeah, that should work too.09:54
lifelessok cool, I was wondering if I was on crack there or not.09:54
Mithrandirlifeless: you get the additional joy of doing dhcp &c in the initramfs too, but I presume you know that.09:54
bddebianmdke: Well his thinking is that it's a Gnome only app so why a man page?09:54
Mithrandirincluding having loads of network drivers there.09:54
lifelessMithrandir: bringing up dhcp is done via ip=dhcp to the kernel? or does the casper initramfs know enough ?09:55
mdkebddebian: you could recommend to him that it would help his app get used in non-Gnome installations.09:55
martiicjwatson: works :( sorry I must have mispelled something09:55
martiicheers09:55
lifelessMithrandir: yes, I knew that that would be an issue09:55
Mithrandirlifeless: kernel doesn't do dhcp for you when you're using initramfs, AIUI?09:55
Mithrandirso the casper script must do that.09:55
lifelessMithrandir: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OnNFSDrive has been updated for dapper and reckons that you can have the kernel do it with stock dapper initramfs09:56
bddebianmdke: Well it's a gui app regardless so I'm not sure I'll win that arguement :-(09:56
mdkebddebian: fair enough. That's a much better argument09:56
lifelessMithrandir: that said we have udev to get network cards, probably just need to add dhcpclient to the initramfs09:57
Mithrandirlifeless: it's probably a matter of copying and pasting stuff from the nfsroot script, yes.09:57
lifelessyay copy n paste09:57
Mithrandirif it's a one-off, there's no real point in refactoring to extract common bits and such.09:58
lifelessMithrandir: well, no point in wasted effort either.09:58
bddebianmdke: So what do I do about it, anything?  Add a lintian override?09:58
lifelesss/wasted/duplicated/09:58
mdkebddebian: fraid I have no clue about Debian policy09:58
bddebianMe either :-)09:59
bddebianWell I have a "clue" but certainly don't know it all :-)09:59

bddebiancjwatson: You have any thoughts sir?10:00
cjwatsonbddebian: do not add lintian overrides unless it's a case where lintian is generally right but this is an unusual exception. This is not such a case.10:10
cjwatsonbddebian: if you can't write a man page for it, then just leave the lintian warning there so that somebody else is more likely to notice and write a man page in future. Don't ever hide real problems under lintian overrides.10:11
cjwatsonbddebian: but ideally, write a man page; it's not hard10:11
bddebianI know it's not hard but it seems superfluous.. But hey, what do I know :-)10:12
lifelessbddebian: why would it be superfluous?10:12
cjwatsonit's not superfluous if you're in the habit of typing "man thing" to find out how thing can be invoked10:12
cjwatson(many GUI applications can usefully be invoked from the command line)10:12
mdkebddebian: suggestion for the contents: "See the manual in yelp"10:12
cjwatsonbddebian: if upstream disagrees, fair enough, but it would hardly be the first time that a distribution has written a man page when upstream didn't want to bother10:13
cjwatsonmdke: it's usually possible to write something more useful than that with minimal effort10:13
mdkecjwatson: I didn't mean "entire contents"10:13
cjwatsonohhh, sure10:13
cjwatsons/ohhh/oh/10:13
cjwatsonbddebian: you don't have to argue it with upstream if it is hopeless; you can just shove it in the debian/ directory10:14
bddebiancjwatson: I know, I know, I have written several.  It just torks me :-)10:14
cjwatsondeal :-)10:15
