* StevenK hides04:20
jdongRAOF: Evolution oh wait you said not.04:20
jdongRAOF: I use mutt because I've not found a single GUI client I'm satisfied with04:20
RAOFRight.  Thunderbird loses.04:21
jdongyeah thunderbird was better than Evo but still not great04:21
jdongI thought KMail was decent back when I used it though04:22
* StevenK is happy-ish with Thunderbird04:22
RAOF"I can't login because you've selected secure login and the server doesn't support it.  Please turn off secure login, and try again".04:22
StevenKRAOF: Is that with Thunderbird?04:22
RAOFYes.04:22
RAOFIt's a stupid message.04:22
StevenKTLS or something different?04:23
RAOFSSL, I think.04:23
RAOFI don't really care whether the server (gmail) supports secure login or not - Thunderbird should do something smarter than that message.04:24
StevenKI can talk to an SSL server with Thunderbird04:24
jdonggmail runs TLS04:25
RAOFAnd SSL, apparently.04:28
superm1RAOF, i use gmail + thunderbird imap fine04:35
RAOFsuperm1: Yeah, you just need to uncheck the "use secure connection" button.04:37
RAOFThe actual point I was trying to convey was "why don't you just try _without_ that option, and give me a warning"?04:37
somerville32http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7879904:37
StevenKFile a bug? :-)04:37
somerville32RAOF, It should ask the user to first04:38
RAOFsomerville32: Certainly, give a warning.04:38
RAOFActually, better still: pop up "you've selected secure connection, but the server you're using doesn't support it. [Disable secure connection] [Cancel]"04:39
somerville32imap is so slow :(04:39
StevenK[Disable this time] [Disable in settings] [Cancel] ?04:39
RAOFBetter still.04:40
StevenKsomerville32: Oh, bullcrap. Try POP3 over a CDMA service.04:40
somerville32hehe04:40
superm1RAOF, yeah that would be sensible though :)04:40
somerville32Everytime I've tried using a mail client over gmail's web interface, I switch back04:41
* somerville32 is actually setting up evolution as we speak to give it a try04:41
* StevenK doesn't have a gmail account.04:41
* StevenK doesn't really have any burning desire to get one04:42
RAOFThe web interface for gmail is very nearly great.04:42
RAOFI just _hate_ the things it gets wrong.04:42
somerville32mm04:42
superm1the nice thing about it is server side filtering04:43
RAOFWhich I still get when accessing it over IMAP.04:43
superm1just takes ages to get good filters04:43
superm1exactly :)04:43
RAOFEven if they have a dog-slow imap04:43
somerville32It doesn't help I have a few hundred thousand e-mails04:44
* RAOF has only 30K04:45
RAOFI'm surprised, actually.04:45
somerville32RAOF, that you have that many or that few?04:45
* StevenK is counting04:45
RAOFThat I have so few.04:46
StevenKA shade over 180,00004:46
somerville32RAOF, Clearly you're not subscribed to enough mailing lists.04:46
somerville32The next time you complain about mail volume, I'll remember this.04:46
RAOFI don't think you've ever heard me complain about mail volume :P04:47
somerville32;]04:47
RAOFSorry, closer to 100K.04:48
RAOFGmail seems to miscount.04:48
StevenKHeh, much easy doing it this way:04:48
StevenK% ssh enervated 'find Maildir -type f | wc -l'04:48
StevenK:-P04:48
RAOFBut that doesn't allow you to have customised adds displayed in the margin of your email.04:49

RAOFStevenK: More XP!04:51
freeflyingbroonie: pong04:51
StevenKRAOF: WoW taught me adds are bad, anyway :-P04:51
superm1RAOF, gmail counts threads04:53
* somerville32 wonders why evolution thinks that some of his mail from gmail is from the year 203004:53
superm1not "emails"04:53
RAOFsuperm1: Of course, that's right.04:54
ScottKsomerville32: It's telling you you should be using Kmail.04:54
somerville32hehe04:55
* RAOF installs KMail to give it a try.04:56
somerville32Having an offline client does make it to easier to browse your e-mails04:56
ScottKRAOF: If you want a full PIM (with caldenaring and all) install Kontact04:56
somerville32don't have to pan through groups of one hundred04:56
somerville32How do I get evolution to import my contacts from gmail?05:01
somerville32or does imap not support that?05:01
RAOFSo, thunderbird seems substantially faster than evolution (possibly because it doesn't yet have >100K messages in its database yet), but is ugly(er).05:02
RAOFIMAP probably does, gmail probably doesn't.05:02
FlannelIMAP just does mail.05:03
FlannelThere are some contact-over-imap sorts of things (Kolab, for instance)05:03
FlannelThere's also calendar-over-imap sort of thing, which... I can't remember if Kolab does it, or if ts called something else.05:04
superm1but there is the google calendar provider for gmail05:05
RAOFShouldn't a kontact crash pop up apport?05:39
ScottKNo.  KDE has it's own crash system that's not compatible or something like that.05:45
RAOFThat must make kubuntu bugs substantially harder to deal with.05:47
ScottKDunno.  The one bug I'm experiencing right now that apport triggers on apport crashes on too, so it's not really a lot of help for me right now.05:53
ScottKjdong: FYI, soyuz has now grown the additional concern that main backports can't build-dep on stuff that was in universe for that release (target release, not the source).06:17
FujitsuScottK: It has always had that.06:23
FujitsuScottK: It was just automatically throwing such builds out of depwait every publisher cycle, until I filed a bug about it.06:23
FujitsuThe depwait giver-back didn't know about ogre-model.06:24
ScottKFujitsu: Then how did Postfix 2.4.5 get into Dapper-Backports?06:24
FujitsuScottK: I know a lot of builds were eternally stuck in a depwait, pending, rinse, repeat loop for that reason, so I don't see how.06:24
* Fujitsu looks.06:24
FujitsuScottK: Looks like ogre-model sucked back then. THe build log says it was overriding for main, but shows it looking for main, restricted and univeres...06:27
FujitsuOr somebody broke a backports special case.06:28
ScottKFujitsu: I'd argue for the latter.06:28
ScottKFujitsu: Segregating backports into two separate unsupported sections makes no sense at all.06:28
FujitsuBut then why wasn't multiverse included as well?06:29
ScottKThat could cause legal problems.  Different deal.06:29
FujitsuTrue, but then so could restricted.06:30
ScottKNot really.  Restricted is so small and carefully controlled.06:30
ScottKIn theory it could, but not in practice.06:30
ScottKFujitsu: From my perspective this sounds just like security uploads disappearing from -changes because it was a bug that they were ever there at all.06:36
* ScottK ponders replying to the bitorrent thread on devel-discuss saying, "It's mono - reason enough to avoid it right there".06:38
FujitsuScottK: BBCode is also used in the email. I think that invalidates it.06:41
ScottKFujitsu: I need a little more context for that.06:41
FujitsuScottK: The author of the original email uses [b]...[/b]06:42
ScottKAh.  Right.  Agreed.06:43
FujitsuRight. How the heck does bug #125103 affect Baltix!?06:43
ubotuLaunchpad bug 125103 in soyuz "ppa archives are not signed" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12510306:43
FujitsuIt's bad enough getting `Also affects: baltix' emails on Ubuntu bugs.06:44
ScottKFujitsu: All bugs affect baltix06:44
ScottKYou should file a bug about that.06:44
* ScottK doens't like it either.06:44
FujitsuIt's not a bug.06:44
FujitsuIt's just someone adding inappropriate bug tasks.06:44
ScottKFujitsu: From my perspective it is.06:44
ScottKEven if it really is a bug in baltix, I still don't want the mail.06:45
FujitsuIt can't know what you're interested in.06:45
ScottKIt can.06:45
ScottKIt doesn't, but it can.06:45
FujitsuI guess.06:45
ScottKFor example, if a bug affect multiple packages and I'm a bug contact on one package, don't send me the mails that are clearly about the other package.06:46
ScottKThese mass transition bugs just kill me.06:46
* ScottK really needs to get to bed.06:46
FujitsuOn one hand I find them annoying, but I find some of the useful. Just not the baltix ones.06:46
FujitsuNight.06:47
ScottKAs I said on the other channel, I'm trying not to think of this kind of thing as Launchpad annoyances, but as incentive to work on NM.06:47
FujitsuHeh.06:47
ScottKNot kidding.06:48
ScottKGood night.06:48
FujitsuI'm aware.06:48
ScottKK.06:48
ScottKIt seems to be a given that LP is wonderful and so by definition opinions to the contrary can be ignored.06:49
ScottKI was told (I think over the weekend) if I needed to give up my opinion that the pre-beta U/I was better than the current one if I wanted anyone to pay attention to my concerns.06:49
* StevenK looks at RAOF. How do I translate a Gxx into a NVyy? :-)07:12
RAOFStevenK: Via a magic lookup table.07:23
StevenKRAOF: I figured that, but where is the magic table?07:23
RAOFhttp://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames07:24
RAOFI was just looking for it :/07:24
RAOFAlthough that's not authorititive, it turns out.07:24
RAOFHm.  The Geforce 7s are also nv4x (for example, my 7600go is an nv4B)07:25
StevenKlspci reports my card as G7107:25
RAOFThe nouveau DRI module and DDX driver will spit out the core name in dmesg & xorg.0.log respectively.07:26
RAOFThis is unlikely to be terribly useful for you, though, and I don't know of any other lookup table.07:27

LaserJockhellboy195: ping20:01
hellboy195LaserJock: yeah?20:02
LaserJockhellboy195: regarding openbabel merge, did you try it without disabling the checks?20:02
hellboy195LaserJock: it would be a sync then right?20:04
LaserJockyes, if we don't need to disable the checks20:04
LaserJockbut that's what needs to be determined20:04
LaserJockit's always a good idea before doing a merge to see if we can sync :-)20:05
hellboy195LaserJock: hmm I'll check that. But I ask Jonathan Riddell about it and I not sure if debian changed there something20:06
hellboy195LaserJock: but if it's building in my pbuilder fine, can we be sure that's really working without disabling the checks?20:07
LaserJockhellboy195: I think that'd be a fairly reasonable assumption20:07
LaserJockhellboy195: my guess is that the first entry in the changelog is what Riddell was disabling the checks for20:08
hellboy195LaserJock: generelly a better documentation would be nice to avoid confuses and asking the previous uploader20:10
LaserJockhellboy195: what needs better documentation?20:10
LaserJockdo you think Riddell's entry should have had more info?20:11
hellboy195LaserJock: I think my entry is a little bit better. because I had to ask him *why* he disabled it20:11
* Fujitsu stabs scipy and numpy repeatedly for having braindead, hacked up distutils.20:12
LaserJockFujitsu: sorry dude, it is kinda messy20:12
hellboy195LaserJock: but in generel. I did a lot merges with terrible documentation ..20:12
LaserJockhellboy195: well, he might not have known20:12
FujitsuLaserJock: They both FTBFS now :(20:12
LaserJockhellboy195: I imagine if he'd known the real problem he might have patched it as Debian did rather than just turn off the checks20:13
hellboy195LaserJock: true. nvm sry. I'll check more carefully in future20:13
LaserJockit just saves you some effort if the thing can be synced :-)20:14
LaserJockFujitsu: bah20:14
hellboy195LaserJock: I don't care ^^20:14
LaserJockFujitsu: in the Hardy version or a proposed sync/merge?20:14
FujitsuLaserJock: Hardy version, and a proposed sync and merge.20:15
LaserJockuggg :(20:15
FujitsuIt built successfully a month ago.20:15
FujitsuBut failed in the archive rebuild a few days ago, and now.20:15
LaserJockhellboy195: if you see that the only Ubuntu change is to fix a FTBFS it's an easy check :-)20:15
LaserJockcan be a fast sync20:16
LaserJockFujitsu: darn20:16
LaserJockpython changes?20:16
FujitsuSeems to be LDFLAGS/CFLAGS pollution, but I can't see where.20:16
hellboy195LaserJock: hmm well I have to build a merge and I have to build a sync so I don't care. I'm happy to contribute to ubuntu and with a merge I have the feeling to do more (debdiff) than just request a sync ^^20:16
LaserJockhellboy195: well, it's much easier on sponsors if we don't have to figure out if it's a merge or a sync :-)20:17
LaserJockbut yeah20:18
hellboy195LaserJock: yeah. I'm sry for you not for me ;)20:18
LaserJockit's more more experience for you20:18
LaserJockheh, yeah ;-)20:18
hellboy195LaserJock: more experience?20:18
LaserJockdoing debdiffs, etc.20:18
LaserJockfor a merge20:18
LaserJocka sync is fairly uneventful20:19
LaserJockalthough better for the archive20:19
hellboy195true20:19
hellboy195LaserJock: btw, sync! should I also test it in my PPA or is it enough that it builds in my pbuilder?20:19
LaserJockthat it builds in your pbuilder20:20
* LaserJock wonders what we ever did before PPAs :-)20:20
zulit was like the dark ages20:21
hellboy195LaserJock: I adjusted the bug report20:23
LaserJockhellboy195: and it did build fine in your pbuilder?20:23
FujitsuLaserJock: I strongly dislike how upstreams response to scipy/numpy's failures to build when CFLAGS/LDFLAGS are set is to unset CFLAGS and LDFLAGS...20:23
hellboy195LaserJock: yep20:23
LaserJockFujitsu: kinda like "it doesn't happen if I don't see it"20:24

LaserJocknp, it's hard to remember all the changes :-)20:26
bobboRainCT; thanks for uploading that gtablix fix :)20:27
RainCTbobbo: you're welcome :)20:27
FujitsuLaserJock: It seems to build fine if I do it manually... must be dpkg-buildpackage doing things it doesn't like.20:27
LaserJockFujitsu: I've had experiences like that20:28
FujitsuLaserJock: I'll hopefully fix them up tonight and migrate them both to gfortran, but uni now...20:29
LaserJockFujitsu: yeah, I gotta teach lab20:30
RainCTHighNo: uploading ;)  (next time remember to add LP: #xxx to the changelog)20:30

LaserJockI'm glad I don't have those anymore20:32
LaserJockalthough I seem to consistently be up past midnight anyway20:32
FujitsuI have a day off and only a few hours on the other days, fortunately.20:33
HighNoRainCT: ok, will do. Great that it works now. I hope to do some more fixes after tomorrow, I'm going to write an exam tomorrow and will have one or two days to be creative then...20:41
HighNoDoes the archive have upload counters for different MOTUs? I guess RainCT will be leader of the day :-)20:46

jcastrojdong: do you run a ppa for the p2p team?21:17
ScottKmdomsch: I've got a monitors configuration question for you if you have a moment?21:25
mdomschScottK sure21:25
ScottKmdomsch: IIRC you maintain Dell inputs to a package that has a list of monitors.  I just ran across where Kubuntu gets that information from and it's (of course) different.  I was wondering if you'd be willing to have someone take a look at it and see if there's stuff that should be added for Dell products to be better supported by Kubuntu?21:27
mdomschScottK, sure.21:28
mdomschI stick them in the hwdata package at fedorahosted.org21:28
mdomschthe two packages in Ubuntu that I know of that should pull that are21:28
mdomscha) hwdata (which generally just pulls from Debian)21:29
mdomschb) kde-guidance21:29
mdomschwhat's yours?21:29
ScottKIt's b21:29
ScottKSo maybe it already gets done.21:29
mdomschyeah, so, someone needs to update kde-guidance regularly21:29
mdomschthe upstream author wasn't too interested in switching it to just use the copy from hwdata21:29
mdomschthough I've been encouraging him in that direction21:29
ScottKMakes sense to me.21:29
ScottKFor Hardy though it's probably to late.21:30
mdomschI have a standing open bug to update kde-guidance's copy with a newer copy21:30
mdomschoops meeting21:30
ScottKOK.  I'm planning on uploading a kde-guidance update after Alpha 6.  If you could get me an input, I could include it.21:31
ScottKmdomsch: ^^21:31
mdomschsuperm1, ^^21:31

squentinWhat chances do I have to get a feature freeze exception to upgrade my package (gmusicbrowser) ? The new version fix an important bug, a simple patch could fix it, but I'd prefer to upgrade it as it fixes a lot of small bugs and adds a few improvements.22:27
RainCTsquentin: is it bugfix only?22:28
squentinno22:28
squentinbut the changes are not that important22:28
ScottKSounds like a reasonable one to ask for.  You need to submit a feature freeze exception request.22:28
ScottKwiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess22:29
RainCTwell, I'm off for today.. good night all22:29
squentinok I'll do it thanks22:29
emgentheya people22:30
emgentblueyed, hey hey! :P22:31
blueyedhi emgent22:48
bigonshould I even try to request a freeze exception? http://paste.debian.net/5050423:16
bobbobigon; thats a big diff!23:19
crimsun_bigon: that's huge.  How many bugs does it fix, and how many of said bugs are fairly medium to crit priority?23:24
crimsun_bigon: (those are the criteria I used when on UVF)23:24
crimsun_sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, cough xserver-xgl some releases back23:25
crimsun_when it doubt, file one anyhow.  Worst case would be that it's ignored for 8.04.23:26
bigoncrimsun_: I will open a freeze exception and hit upstream next time I see him :p23:37
