Chipzzrealist: are you crazy? :P05:56
Chipzzat the very least, links :P05:56
Chipzzand even then preferable elinks :P05:56
Chipzzbut no, I do not, or allmost not :)05:57
Chipzzexcept when I need to download something on a remote server (like from sf)05:57
realistwget/curl :-)05:57
Chipzzwhich does not work for sf05:58
Chipzzjust gives you some nice html :P05:58
realisthtml2text05:58
ChipzzI'm really sure tar will grok that :P05:58
realistI'd forgotten sf did that05:58
Chipzzwell I guess you *can* download directly from sf05:59
Chipzzexcept most links are links to the download.php pages and not direct links05:59
Chipzzwhich still leaves you nowhere05:59
Chipzzrealist: also, wget lacks a feature to save some downloads under the correct filename06:00
TheMusoIf you want text mode browsing, elinks is the only one worth considering.06:00
Chipzzie if you have a php page which adds information about the file name (forgot what the exact http header is), wget will not use that and save your download as bla.php06:01
realistTheMuso: reason being?06:01
Chipzzrealist: support for https for starters06:01
realistlynx has that doesn't it?06:02
Chipzzcompared to plain links, that is06:02
Chipzzbut lynx doesn't do tables. at all.06:02
Chipzzwhich... sucks. big time06:02
FrankQyou mean you don't use the Stallman method??06:05
FrankQhttp://lwn.net/Articles/262570/06:05
realistFrankQ: we were joking about that at LCA yesterday06:05
FrankQI would get so agitated with a method like that06:07
Chipzzrealist: but really, mutt *does* have some extremely handy features which I have not found in any other mailer yet06:07
realistChipzz: such as?06:07
Chipzzrealist: do you know about link-threads and break-thread in vim?06:08
Chipzzvery convenient for people with broken mailers you'ld like to give a kick on the butt :P06:08
realistin vim?06:08
Chipzzerrr06:08
Chipzzin mutt06:08
* realist nods06:08
Chipzzyou can join threads which get broken by people with broken mailers which fail to add references headers06:09
realistI like the pattern tagging, and tag commands too06:09
Chipzzand you can break threads for those bloody morons who have to hit reply on a random message in a thread instead of just copy/pasting the to: and starting a new one06:10
realistIt does gpg out of the box too, these days06:10
Chipzzdon't really care about pgp atm though06:10
Chipzzmaybe at some point in the future06:11
Chipzzbut you don't happen to know another mailer that has these features?06:11
TheMusorealist: Customizable keyboard commands, tables, javascript thanks to libmozjs0d/xulrunner, https, bookmarks, cookies, and a lot more that I haven't thought of. :p06:11
realistTheMuso: nice, I'll have to try it out.06:12
ChipzzTheMuso: but regular links also has a lot of those features06:12
realistChipzz: no, I use mutt.06:12
ChipzzTheMuso: cookies, bookmarks, tables...06:12
realistChipzz: lynx doesn't :-)06:12
TheMusoChipzz: WHich links? links2, links, or lynx?06:12
TheMusoChipzz: But no javascript06:13
TheMusoChipzzOh thats right, elinks also allows you to use $EDITOR for editing multi-line form fields.06:13
ChipzzTheMuso: I don't use elinks *that* much ;)06:14
TheMusoChipzz: Well I do, so thats why I love what it can do compared to the rest of the text mode browsers.06:15
ChipzzTheMuso: anyway: 06:56 < Chipzz> and even then preferable elinks :P06:17

borschtypitti: hello, i have a short question about the esd-multiuser-patch you wrote some years ago (http://people.ubuntu.com/patches/esound.multiuser.diff)08:59
pittiborschty: hello09:00
borschtyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/esound/+bug/177072 i have described it in the last post09:00
ubotuLaunchpad bug 177072 in esound "AUDIODEV should be exported when using pulseaudio" [Wishlist,Invalid]09:00
pittiborschty: that bug is still on my TOOD list, haven't found time to look at it yet09:01
borschtywell the bug itself is closed now, but i think the patch might contain a small leak09:01
borschtynot really important stuff, if you have to smash some real bugs, this can wait09:03
TheMusopitti: What is involved to get that AUDIODEV environment variable exported? Does that have to be done within pulse itself?09:03
seb128TheMuso: why do you need that? looks like that was a workaround when libesd what broken but it's fixed now09:03
TheMusoseb128: pitti said its somethign that still needs doing, or so I thought...09:04
borschtyyes, it was a workaround, i guess i should have changed the description, but i did not want to spam the subscribers09:04
borschtythe actual bug is fixed, but i suspect the patch to introduce a small memory leak09:05
pittiok, if the AUDIODEV one was fixed with the re-applying of the libesd patch, great09:06
pittiborschty: ok, thanks for pointing out; I'll have a look and fix the memleak09:06

carlosseb128: is it known that latest evolution in Hardy crashes after sending an email? (I'm not sure it would be related, but I use SMTP + SSL). The email is not sent and it's lost09:21
seb128carlos: upgrade gnome-session and restart GNOME or unset G_DEBUG09:22
seb128carlos: that has been fixed yesterday, we had the warnings crashers code enable by mistake for a day09:22
carloshmm, I think I had that fix already installed... but let me restart it, just in case...09:23
* carlos restarts09:23
sorenseb128: Does your machine support kvm?09:25
sorenseb128: (grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo)09:25
seb128soren: I supposed so, that's a D63009:25
seb128I didn't enable the bios option most likely though09:26
seb128but the package install should not fail anyway09:26
sorenseb128: dmesg will tell you if that's the case.09:26
seb128what should I look for there?09:26
sorenkvm: Disabled in BIOS09:26
sorenor something like that.09:26
seb128$ dmesg | grep kvm09:26
seb128[ 1516.217209] kvm: disabled by bios09:26
sorenThere you go.09:27
seb128soren: that was expected, still the package should install?09:27
sorenShould it?09:27
seb128soren: well, I see no valid reason to break installations09:27
carlosseb128: seems like that's it. At least that also fixed pidgin :-P09:28
sorenWell, if you don't have the hardware, it can't be configured.09:28
seb128soren: if I install the intel video driver on a box using nvidia it doesn't fail ;-)09:28
pittithe package should always succeed to install09:28
mvo++09:28
seb128soren: you should display a warning but not break the install09:28
pittiand if it doesn't work, the init script would ideally point out why09:28
carlosalso, for some reason, all emails I sent appear in the outbox folder so I didn't lose data09:28
carlosseb128: thanks for your help09:28
seb128carlos: you are welcome09:28
sorenI'm certain there was a discussion about this at some point where the opposite conclusion was reached.09:28
seb128weird09:28
pittisoren: I guess at some point you want to ship the package by default on the server image?09:29
mvoon a list or in a channel?09:29
mvoI have very strong opinions about failing maintainer scripts09:29
sorenmvo: Yes :)09:29
seb128is there anybody here who argued for breaking installation?09:29
sorenseb128: Come on..09:29
seb128me too, package installation should never break09:29
* mvo looks around to see if he can find his stick-of-doom09:29

* Hobbsee offers mvo the Long Pointy Stick of DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ™09:29
pittiwhoever proposed that should be sentenced to one week of triaging apport package inst failure bugs09:29
soren"So, guys, what do you think? I think we should break isntallation of stuff."09:30
sorenseb128: I'm perfectly aware of the mechanics involved.09:30
mvoand update-manager bug triage too09:30
seb128soren: I'm surprised you seem to argue that's not a bug09:30
sorenseb128: I'm surprised to see you argue the way you do. Can we please focus on the problem rather than resort to stuff like "is there anybody here who argued for breaking installation?"09:31
sorenOk, the argument, as I remember it, went:09:31
sorenIf the package will be unable to function after installation, it's wrong to have dpkg claim that it's configured, since.. well... it's not.09:32
davmor2Guys just to say that the nautilus-cd-burner patch has fixed only being able to burn one cd :)09:32
pittibut configuring a package just means that it's properly installed, not necessarily working09:33
pittiotherwise we could not install any printer or X.org graphics driver by default either09:33
seb128soren: well, as said you can install the intel video driver on a nvidia machine, it'll not work but that's alright09:33
pittithe init script should fail, sure09:33
davmor2What causes two windows to open when ever you insert a cd or pen drive though.  Is there anything I can do to track it down or is it already being worked on?09:34
seb128davmor2: that's a feature, nothing to track down, go to nautilus preferences, media tab and uncheck the option if you don't want it09:34
sorenIt's not something I feel very strongly about.09:35
seb128davmor2: ah, the duplicate window, that's known09:35
pittiseb128: two windows for one driver?09:35
pittidrive09:35
seb128pitti: I read too quickly09:35
pittiah, ok09:35
davmor2seb128: okay cool :)09:35
pitti118 sync bugs? ugh09:35
seb128basically gvfs mount drivers on first access now09:35
sorenWhere is the dpkg status semantics documented? I can't seem to find it.09:35
mvosoren: I see your point, but I think with the tools we currently have we can not follow that for practical reasons. we have no good recovery mechanism for package failures, we can not do rollbacks and a package failure during a complex upgrade causes cascadigng errors or stop of the upgrade09:35
seb128pitti: I didn't do syncs because of the freeze ...09:36
pittisoren: ... that, and it would forbid us to install that package by default09:36
mvoI think even if we wanted to follow that definition we would first have to fix the tools09:36
pittiseb128: np; you've been busy enough09:36
seb128but we have too many sync requests I agree09:36
seb128we should really consider this automatic sync new revisions for universe packages09:37
davmor2I'm just happy I can burn all the iso's again without resorting to rebooting the machine :)09:37
seb128davmor2: you can use brasero now if n-c-b is broken09:37
seb128you should not need to reboot09:37
sorenIIRC, it was iwj that was making the point I'm trying to make now, so it's not entirely inconceivable that it was more of a "this is how things are supposed to be" rather than "this is how we should actually do it" :)09:38
seb128soren: right09:39
seb128soren: the current situation is not nice because it'll let apt in a broken state you can't resolve with graphical tools easily09:39
sorenseb128: True.09:39
seb128and will prevent you to install anything else09:39
seb128which will lead to pretty bad users comments09:40
seb128anyway, rebooting to set the bios option now ;-)09:40
soren\o/09:41
* soren has amd hardware now for testing kvm.09:41
mvowell, it let you install stuff, but you always get the error and stuff. I think that the package level is the wrong layer for this kind of tests09:41
davmor2seb128: brasero didn't work for the same reason as n-c-b as far as I could figure.  It would burn one cd perfectly but the next cd you put in would fail.  Not sure if it was the n-c-b fix or gvfs but it is working now which is the good news :)09:41
pittisoren: yay new toys!09:42
sorenmvo: I think the argument could be made both ways. However, as the tools are now, I can see why making the install succeed makes sense.09:42
stgraberI'm going through the bugs reported on the tracker, we have bug 187898 and bug 186711 looking quite similar, can some confirm that I can set bug 187898 as dupe of bug 186711 ?09:42

pittihttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/11630805/gtk-qt-engine_0.8~svn-rev36-2ubuntu2.1.debdiff10:39
Riddellpitti: looks like an error, please reject and I'll upload a fixed one when my machine is done with this test install10:40
pittiRiddell: ok10:40
pittiRiddell: also, it would be helpful to describe the "why" of that patch in the changelog10:41
pittiRiddell: stl. like 'nspluginviewer crashes when using the gtk-qt engine' or whatever the reason is10:41
Riddellpitti: ok10:41
Riddell(it stops it freezing)10:41
pittiRiddell: rejected10:42
pittiRiddell: gutsy's kdelibs update has a vast debdiff, mostly just +X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain and a changed files list; that's confirmed to not hurt, or break the .desktop/other files?10:50
pittiRiddell: I don't think that the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain tags make sense in most of the .desktop files10:51
Riddellpitti: hmm, sorry, they should all get cleaned out, reject it and I'll take a look in a minute10:52
pittiRiddell: the patch itself looks reasonable10:52
pittiRiddell: will do, thanks10:52

seb128ogra: what happens now?10:57
ograseb128, chrashes while sending10:57
seb128ogra: that's so yesterday's, did you update gnome-session and restart GNOME?10:58
ograit bumps up to 100% CPU usage for a while and then crashes10:58
seb128ogra: is G_DEBUG set?10:58
ograhmm, i had to update 25 packages this morning, let me restart the session (even though i think i did that yesterday evening)#10:58
seb128ogra: look if G_DEBUG is set10:59
ogradoesnt seem like11:00
pittiRiddell: ugh, heavy patch; there's no way I can eyeball this for correctness; I think we just need to test it very thoroughly11:00
seb128ogra: env | grep G_DEBUG?11:00

seb128so maybe you have an another bug11:01

ograhmm11:02
ograsend/recieve worked this time ... it crashed before11:03
pittiRiddell: flashplugin-nonfree isn't updated yet in hardy, right?11:03
seb128ogra: did you restart your session between?11:03
ograyup11:03
seb128ogra: so that was the G_DEBUG issue11:03
ograthe mail that made it crash was sent but also still sitting in oubox11:03
Riddellpitti: yes it is11:04
seb128ogra: unstable gnome-session set G_DEBUG to turn critical warnings to crashers, we usually disable that but the patch was not in the series11:04
ograah11:04
pittiRiddell: nothing obvious in the changelog11:04
ograwell, seems to work now11:04
seb128ogra: I fixed that yesterday, that took only effect after you restarted the session though11:04
seb128ogra: yeah, likely that was due to it11:04

tjaaltonasac: dpi issues don't increase the size of the images afaik :)11:21
asactjaalton: hmm ... reading the bug it appears that setting the dpi value explicitly in firefox fixes this11:22
tjaaltonasac: ok, maybe it's because 3.0 uses cairo for everything?11:23

slangaseker, you're requesting a package's inclusion in main but aren't running Ubuntu?  That's seems a bit strange to me20:06
StevenKAnd if you're unsure about how to fill out a MIR, you shouldn't be, IMO20:07
oojahWell that's a fair point, but you've got to start somewhere, right?20:08
davmor2bug 173130 still affecting alpha 420:08
ubotuLaunchpad bug 173130 in xserver-xorg-video-nv "edubuntu hardy 64bit live cd issues" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17313020:08
jpatrickoojah: what exactly is the MIR for?20:08
StevenKoojah: Sure, but don't start with MIRs20:08
oojahjpatrick: libggz, a build dep of gnome-games.20:09
slangasekoojah: libggz is already in main20:09
oojahWell that certainly shows me up...20:09
oojahDoes everything that goes into main remain in universe?20:10
slangasekno, each package is in one or the other for each given release20:10
oojahFair enough. I checked universe on archive.ubuntu.org and as it was there assumed it wasn't in main.20:13
sistpotybtw.: motu-meeting in #ubuntu-meeting now... for anyone interested20:14
slangasekoojah: right, it'll still be in universe for past releases20:14
oojahSure20:14
oojahWell that certainly makes life easier. I was asked to look at the gnome-games ggz deps last week when they weren't in main and now they all are as of a few days ago.20:18
stgraberslangasek: Are all the ISOs on the tracker ready for testing (I finally managed to have my test computer back so I'll be able to do some tests now) ?20:42
slangasekstgraber: desktop images are not rerolled yet, just disabled those; alternate images are ready for testing20:47
stgraberok20:48
Chipzz11:12 < soren> (I'm adding dnsmasq as a dependency of libvirt-bin real soon, by the way) >> sounds wrong to me?21:54
soopurmanstgraber, which tracker were you referring to? when slangasek mentioned that the alternate images are ready for testing22:23
stgrabersoopurman: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com22:24
slangasekdesktop images are also back up by this point, for all but xubuntu22:24
soopurmanso the contents of 20080201.1 are candidates for the alpha4 release ?22:27
stgraberyes22:27
soopurmanalright! i'm about to perform the install (manual partitioning) of the 20080201.1 image of hardy-alternate-amd64.iso... i'll report my results on the tracker in about half an hour23:03
soopurmansee you then :-)23:03
slangasekoh how nice, 3 new updates.23:07
slangasekpresented to me after booting into my newly-installed hardy, which was rolled mere hours earlier. while still in a freeze.23:08
LaserJockslangasek: "soft" ;-)23:11
slangasekright... maybe I should try different language for the next one, maybe call it a "retaliatory freeze". :)23:13
StevenKHaha23:14

stgraberslangasek: first result from Ubuntu desktop i386 : Jockey crashing at session opening (why is it starting on the livecd ?), rofs and cdrom shown on the desktop, ubiquity missing its icon, update-manager showing an update available icon when no updates are available + hovering it shows a "A package maanger is working" label23:46
superm1slangasek, would you be able to release mythtv binaries from NEW at some point before the end of day?  we were looking to roll our alpha this weekend with them and do some testing over the weekend23:46
slangasekstgraber: yes, similar to my own experience.  But I don't think any of those are blockers, so I guess it'll just be a little rough around the edges23:47
stgraberslangasek: I'm installing now, those are not blockers though really annoying bugs (especially when the first thing you see is an apport report :))23:48
slangasekoh, I didn't see any apport reports here :/23:49
slangasekwell, so be it though23:49
stgraberI have a nvidia graphic card in my test computer23:49
slangasekyeah, I'm testing in a VM, no hardware to manage ;)23:49
stgraberhehe, solves a lot of problem :)23:49
slangasekstgraber: 188221 for the generic install icon issue23:56
slangasekI'm fairly certain the rofs icon is a gvfs issue; I haven't checked for open bugs23:58
stgraberdoes it disappear when you start ubiquity ?23:58
slangaseker, I didn't pay attention23:58
stgraberit did here and I didn't really understand why23:59
slangasekthe update-manager bug has also been reported as #18820123:59
