nixternalLaserJock: how do you think I should go about fixing that bug?05:12
nixternalrenaming the firefox-index in kubuntu do something else?05:12
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: the kubuntu-docs apt error?05:14
nixternalyes05:14
nixternalbug 9174905:15
UbugtuMalone bug 91749 in kubuntu-docs "file confict with ubuntu-docs" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/9174905:15
LaserJockhow was it done before?05:15
Admiral_Chicagoyup, I can repoduce05:15
nixternalLaserJock: it was never named firefox-index05:15
nixternalall I have to do is change firefox-index.html to something else05:16
nixternalfirefoxindex.html maybe05:16
LaserJockbut I don't understand what happened to cause this05:16
nixternalLaserJock: I changed the firefox homepage05:17
nixternalit used to be the about-kubuntu05:17
nixternalbut I created a new one emulating those found in the other projects05:17
nixternalso all I have to do is change the name in postinst and it will work05:17
nixternalwhich I can do seeing it isn't a string05:18
LaserJockI see05:18
nixternalso naming it to something different will close that bug and fix the issue05:19
nixternalI can fix it, create the debdiff and then see what Riddell says about it05:20
nixternalkfirefox-index.html05:21
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: can you explain what you are doing to me05:24
Admiral_Chicagofwis, that bug is on our end.05:24
Admiral_Chicagooh wait, different bug05:24
Admiral_Chicagoyou are talking about the conflicts right?05:25
nixternalcorrect. my latest package I created I made a new firefox-startpage05:25
nixternalyes, conflicts05:25
nixternalin my debian/postinst file I had it symlink to firefox-index.html which is what ubuntu-docs package uses. So you can't symlink like that in the same directory05:25
nixternalso just by changing the name, it will create a new symlink and fix the issue05:25
nixternalI am building it now and will install it shortly to test05:26
nixternalAdmiral_Chicago: you have that issue as well you said?05:26
nixternalif you do, I want you to test my package and see if it fixes the issue05:26
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: can do05:27
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: there is another bug, Fx opens its own splash screen and about kubuntu page.05:27
nixternallink me05:28
nixternalahh05:28
Admiral_Chicagowhich is a bug on the Mozilla Team end, we are fixing it tomorrow05:28
nixternalya, nothing on my part05:28
nixternalwhy tomorrow?05:28
Admiral_Chicagoi thought you were talking about that one05:28
nixternalyou do realise the freeze is on this week due to beta release05:28
Admiral_Chicagoour packager is asleep05:28
nixternaljeesh, you need more packagers then05:28
nixternalalthough mozilla packagers tend to be picky05:29
Admiral_Chicagoi saw the bug in the Mac Store today05:29
Admiral_Chicagoa guy looked at me like I was crazy because I had Gmail and bug reports for 50 straight emails05:29
Admiral_Chicagoon a massive monitor05:30
Admiral_Chicagoeither way, that bug is being taken care of by the end of tosay05:30
Admiral_Chicagotoday*05:30
nixternalheh, LP has my name pasted all over the kubuntu-docs now05:31
Admiral_Chicagoyea, I keep getting kubuntu doc emails and more KDE related stuff05:32
Admiral_ChicagoLP has a smart tracker that beings to notify you of stuff you work on right?05:33
nixternalso it seems05:36
nixternalargh, forgot to rename it in the rules file as well05:38
nixternalI hate debian/postinst05:45
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: did you update it already05:53
Admiral_Chicagoapt is showing me an update...05:53
nixternalnot yet, postinst is being a pig. /etc/alternatives can be a pain05:53
nixternalLaserJock: you have anyways to tweak postinst so I can get it to actually change the darn the link in /etc/alternatives?05:54
Admiral_Chicagookay, what version am I using then...05:54
nixternalI have tried changing the priority up, and it didn't work05:54
Admiral_Chicagoits showing me Candidate: 7.04-205:55
nixternalthat is the latest05:56
Admiral_Chicagothat is broken.05:56
nixternalI am working on 7.04-305:56
Admiral_Chicagothe one you are working on -3 will fix this dependency issue and install05:56
nixternalactually, my current 7.04-3 package may work for you, but it doesn't for me just yet05:57
nixternalactually it won't work for you either05:57
Admiral_Chicagohaha, upload it to your server whenever and ping me about ti05:57
Admiral_Chicagoit*05:57
nixternalroger05:57
LaserJocknixternal: what do you mean?05:58
nixternalLaserJock: well it seems that update-alternatives is set to manual mode05:58
nixternalthat is killing me05:58
LaserJockhm?05:58
nixternalif update-alternatives was set to --auto, then it would grab the highest priority item05:59
LaserJockthe current update-alternatives line doesn't work?06:00
nixternalLaserJock: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10139/06:00
nixternalno it doesn't work06:00
nixternalit doesn't change the link in /etc/alternatives06:01
nixternalbut update-alternatives --display firefox-homepage shows the kfirefox-index.html and labeled "best" but it doesn't select it due to the manual update-alternatives setting used06:01
LaserJockI have a priority of 41 here06:02
LaserJockI'll brb06:03

nixternalLaserJock: is it OK to use --set with postinst for update-alternatives?06:45
LaserJockI don't really know06:47
LaserJockbut I don't see why you can't use the previous postinst06:48
nixternalLaserJock: I can, but it breaks the link from /etc/alternatives because it will not *automatically* use the link provided in postinst06:49
nixternallet me grab another package and see how the postinst is configured06:49

Madpilotmorning mdke09:11
mdkehi Madpilot, how goes it?09:11
Madpilotgood - middle of the work-week for me.09:12
mdkeah09:12
MadpilotI'm also trying to study, and keep allowing myself to be distracted by IRC ;)09:12
mdkequite right09:12
Madpilotheh. some of the docs I need I can only get online, and online is not a good place for sustained concentration09:13
mdkewhat are you studying?09:14
Madpilotfor the Commercial Pilot Lic. written test, which is a monster09:19
mdkeah right09:20
mdkegood luck with that09:20
Madpilotthanks. I'm far readier for the CPL Flight Test than I am for the written - but I  have to have the written passed before I can do the flight test...09:20
mdkedamn rules09:21
Madpilotya. The worst thing about that written-before-flighttest rule is that it's new as of last summer - if I'd done my CPL a year or two ago it would be someone else's problem, not mine...09:22
