gnomefreakbug 13768601:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 137686 in linux "[hardy] [gutsy] [regression] (regression from edgy to feisty and to gutsy) tifm_sd module not working and not producing any message in logs" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13768601:01
gnomefreakgood night everyone i will be running through email since i didnt check it all day and most likely work on bug reports so i should be around tomorrow if needed.01:37
victory747I have a question about localization files for ff3 in hardy05:20
victory747What package are these files in?05:21
asacvictory747: language-pack-*09:07
asacvictory747: language-pack-gnome-base-XX to be exact09:07
victory747asac, ok - but are these generated from mozilla source code or from something else?09:11
victory747asac,  and the main problem is it is missing zh-CN - only has zh-TW09:11
victory747asac, what should I file a bug report against?09:11
asacgenerated from mozilla sources ... we are aware of that ... no need for a bug. will fix that soonish09:13
victory747oh, ok, thanks - I didn't know you were aware09:20
victory747and why is it stored in language-pack-gnome-base rather than something like language-pack-firefox?09:21
asacvictory747: i planned to put them into the general language-support packs ... but in last minute kde devs vetoed so it ended up there. in intrepid we will probably do a language-pack-mozilla again for that reason09:22
victory747ok, so the zh-CN stuff will come out in updates, or in backports?09:23
asac-updates09:23
victory747great - any idea of an ETA?09:23
asaci could do it today. but there is one more issue i have to eval and see if i can punch a solution in this upload too09:24
victory747ok, so pretty soon, then.  Thanks so much for your response on this.09:25
asacno problem. thanks for your patience09:25
[reed]why did the kde devs veto that?09:33
asac[reed]: ... i don't want to rant in public this year so i better stop now :)10:00
[reed]"this year", lol10:00
asacok, this cycle10:00
asac[reed]: do you know where in moz code the locale upcast heuristic is done? e.g. if I start with LANG=pt ... i get pt-BR ... so it appears to try something, but fails to choose the right default (e.g. pt_PT) ... same for es -> it uses es_AR though it should first try es_ES10:03
[reed]picking the correct language pack, or are you talking about the HTTP header?10:04
asaci will work around this problem now by adding chrome lines like "locale browser pt jar:chrome/pt-PT.jar!..." to chrome.manifest10:04
asac[reed]: picking about the right chrome yes.10:05
[reed]mmm10:05
[reed]not really... ask in #l10n on moznet?10:05
asac[reed]: asked :) ... one more channel10:07
asac[reed]: at least my workaround works great :)10:10
[reed]hehe10:11
asacvictory747: still there?10:12
asacjtv: there?10:29
jtvasac: hi!10:29
asacjtv: hi10:29
jtvasac: tried to get hold of you last week10:29
jtvasac: danilo tells me there's a problem with xulrunner?10:30
asacjtv: can you give me some insight on what to do if LANG=pt?10:30
asacuse pt_PT or pt_BR?10:30
asacand why?10:30
asacjtv: problem? except that the langpacks are currently a bit messed up?10:30
jtvasac: "pt" means "Portuguese Portuguese."  It's really pt_PT that makes no sense, but those are the same thing.10:30
asacjtv: ok mozilla guys say that pt alone makes no sense10:31
asacis there something written?10:31
jtvasac: if that's their system, then pt == pt_PT.10:31
jtvIn the gettext world you'd normalize to pt.  Apparently in their world you normalize to pt_PT.10:31
asacwell ... hard to tell. they say its ok to use pt_BR if LANG=pt because there is nothing that says different10:31
jtvasac: from our point of view that's a very odd way to look at it.10:32
asacand pt_BR is more important in terms of users et al10:32
jtvasac: let me just dig up some docs for you.10:32
asacthat would be great10:32
jtvasac: but the summary of it is: zh is always either zh_CN or zh_TW; there's pt and pt_BR; and there's en_GB.  Apart from that, we always use just the language code without country code.10:33
asacok. so there is no hard specification how to normalize LANG?10:34
asacthanks ... so whats the problem with xulrunner?10:35
jtvhttps://launchpad.canonical.com/Translations/ImportQueueReviewLanguageCodes10:35
jtvhttps://launchpad.canonical.com/Translations/ImportQueueCornerCases10:35
asacjtv: err, are those standard passwds?10:36
asacyeah got it10:36
jtvasac: danilo just pointed me to this: https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/xulrunner-1.9/+pots/xulrunner10:40
jtvLots of "untranslated"10:40
jtvThat looks as if either the template or the translations were re-imported, but not both.10:40
asacouch10:41
asacmaybe the auto import of template finally got through?10:41
asacjtv: ?10:41
asacwe upload the en-US.xpi on build10:41
jtvasac: yup, a template was imported yesterday.10:42
jtvasac: want me to re-upload translations?10:43
jtvasac: at least then those 10% or whatever of unmatched messages will also be resolved.10:43
asacjtv: cool. does it mean the chrome:// thing is in place now?10:44
jtvasac: it does.  That's why I tried to reach you last week.  :-)10:44
jtvasac: you won't actually see the "chrome://" prefix, but the context of a message is now the chrome path of its file.10:44
asaccool. question: can we import translations from build as well?10:45
asacor was this translation reset a one timer?10:45
asaci think you told me that when we get chrome path contexts, that everything got reset10:45
jtvasac: the "reset" is a one-off.  It's just the pain from the transition to the proper context system.10:46
asacright ... great.10:46
jtvasac: the translations are still in there with the hacked contexts.  If we re-upload them now, you'll see things like "4 messages untranslated" for Firefox.10:46
asacjtv: so can we just import the full translations twice now? or should i filter out the xulrunner/firefox part before?10:47
jtvasac: one more issue is that the current code stumbles over <contributor> entries in install.rdf.10:47
asacjtv: you look at install.rdf?10:47
jtvasac: right10:47
asacwhat info do you gather from there?10:47
jtvasac: just the last translator, really.10:47
jtvasac: at the moment, that goes horribly wrong.10:47
asacah, interesting. but makes sense i guess10:48
jtvasac: I've prototyped a fix, but wanted to discuss it with you first.10:48
jtvThing is, we try to parse the contributor entries as email addresses—which in practice AFAICS they aren't.10:48
jtvThen we look up the last contributor's identity by email address.10:48
jtvWe have several options there:10:49
jtvIgnore them (not very nice though)10:49
jtvLook them up by name if no email available (may be inaccurate when people's names clash, though we'd just give up for cases where we know that to happen)10:50
jtvIgnore them unless they include email addresses10:50
jtvRight now I'm inclined towards option 3.  It's easy to implement, very little can go wrong, and it's a "boxer shorts" hazard.10:51
asacI'd say ignore them in launchpad unless we can find a launchpad id (email)10:51
asacbut maybe reexport the translations install.rdf so the po2xpi step can reinclude them in the .xpi10:51
asacor remember the non-launchpad contributors in a comment or something?10:52
jtvOh, we already remember the install.rdf so reproducing them is no problem anyway.  You get them all.10:52
asaci get them all? where?10:52
asacuntil now i only got the template (en-US.xpi) reexported.10:53
jtvasac: ah, right, you don't get them unless the file is imported.10:54
asacok. i think we should reimport the en-US.xpi as well then10:55
asacfor firefox10:56
asacjtv: can i import the en-US.xpi ?10:57
jtvasac: sure, just make sure that both the templates and the translations for both have been re-imported since last week's rollout.10:58
jtvasac: I think I was offline there for a while10:58
asacjtv: ok, what i do now: import en-US.xpi for firefox ... then import translations for xulrunner and firefox, right?10:59
jtvasac: right.11:00
jtvasac: there are going to be failures because of the install.rdf problem though.11:01
jtvasac: IIRC we reproduce the install.rdf file as the header in our XPIPO file...  Do I remember wrongly?11:02
victory747asac, I'm still here11:02
asacjtv: right. its in the .po file11:03
asacvictory747: can you download http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/zh.tar.gz11:04
victory747ok11:04
asacand extract that to some dir?11:04
asacjtv: ok. will launchpad automatically detect that en-US.xpi is template ... and everything else is translation?11:05
jtvasac: yes.11:05
asaci am on https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0/+pots/firefox/+upload11:05
asacok cool11:05
asaclet me try en-US.xpi for firefox first11:05
jtvasac: do you have the automated uploads working?11:05
asacjtv: yes. otherwise xulrunner wouldn't have been overwritten11:06
jtvasac: cool11:06
asaci uploaded xulrunner only .. so it makes sense11:06
jtvasac: but as soon as the translations have been re-imported as well, things should be back to normal (and in some ways, better).11:07
jtvasac: my dns seems to be on the blink or something...  before you re-upload, see if maybe the old imported translations are still on the import queue.11:07
asacjtv: ok, lets hope that those that started new translations for firefox won't be completely mad at us now :/11:07
jtvIf they are, we can just move them back to the Approved status.  Less time to wait!11:07
asacjtv: ouch ... already uploaded en-US.xpi for ffox11:08
jtvasac: yes, let's hope.  Luckily I already talked to the ones in this country.11:08
jtvasac: if it's already uploaded, what's the problem?11:08
asacjtv: aehm ... i uploaded it a minute ago :) ... its now in state "needs review"11:09
asachttps://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0/+imports11:09
jtvasac: erm... you wouldn't happen to have the IP address for t.e.l.n handy by any chance?11:09
asac91.189.90.21811:10
asacjtv: ^^11:10
* jtv edits hosts11:10
victory747asac, ok, what should I do with it?11:11
asacvictory747: try: cd /tmp/; wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/zh.tar.gz; mkdir ee; cd ee; tar xzf ../zh.tar.gz11:11
asacthen: sudo cp -r usr/lib/* /usr/lib/11:12
victory747ok, i extracted it somewhere11:12
victory747ok11:12
asacafterwards zh_CN should be there11:12
victory747I do not have the language-pack-gnome-base-zh package installed11:12
asacvictory747: because you are not on gnome?11:13
victory747asac, no, because i uninstalled it when trying to figure all this out11:13
asacah ... maybe install it first again then11:13
victory747should i install it? or leave it out?11:13
victory747ok11:13
asacdoesn't really matter11:13
asacfor firefox it only matters that your LANG variable is proper11:14
victory747also I find the traditional chinese hard to read11:14
asacvictory747: in which way?11:15
asaci cannot read it at all obviously ;)11:16
victory747I have enough trouble with simplified chinese! :)11:16
victory747just my poor chinese, that's all11:16
asacyou mean language wise?11:16
asacah ok11:16
victory747there ARE issues with font-substitution that I have long had with gnome, firefox, and ubuntu11:17
victory747because between the two character sets there is a lot of overlap11:17
victory747so it uses a traditional chinese font first, and then if it can't find it in there uses a simplified font11:17
victory747but the typefaces are different and it's really annoying11:17
asacvictory747: prod ArneGoetje in #ubuntu-devel about that11:18
victory747and sometimes the simplified font chosen is hard to read at that particular font size11:18
asache is our font guy11:18
asacArneGoetje11:18
victory747i should probably try to figure out what's really going on and why but it takes a lot of effort11:18
asacvictory747: ask him ... maybe he knows something and can help you get started :)11:19
victory747ok11:19
victory747asac, excellent!! :) firefox is using simplified chinese now! :)11:21
asacjtv: there are a bunch of .po imports that failed in the queue ... is that supposed to work?11:21
jtvasac: Not that I know.11:21
jtvasac: let me look...11:21
asachttps://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0/+imports11:22
asacand why is my import "Needs review" ?11:22
jtvasac: probably because auto-approval hasn't gotten to it yet.  It should happen after a while, but I can do it manually if needed.  Just a moment.11:23
asacjtv: thats ok ... lets wait and see if auto works11:25
jtvasac: cool, thanks.11:25
victory747asac, so it works.  is this an informal test of your files then?11:26
asacvictory747: yes. those will be uppped later today11:26
victory747asac, thanks so much11:27
asacvictory747: maybe contribute by ackknowledigng that the update langpacks work11:27
jtvasac: those PO files people tried to import wouldn't work anyway.  They're based on English msgids, not on the message keys.  We don't support that yet.11:27
victory747asac, I will remove the files and see if the update works11:27
asacvictory747: you need to enable -proposed in software sources for that11:27
asacthats where we stage stable updates for verification before rolling the updates to everyone11:28
victory747ok, i'll look for that tomorrow - it's about time for me to go11:29
asacjtv: ok. is there a way we can improve documentation for that?11:29
asacvictory747: thanks.11:29
asacjtv: so translators notice before putting energy into it?11:29
jtvasac: we can... do you have a good place to put it?  A "state of Firefox translation" wiki page could be useful right now.11:30
asacindeed. ill work on it asap11:31
asacalso telling how they can test their exports11:31
jtvasac: I think the translators would love to see the "kitchen" opened up like that.11:32
jtvasac: looks like the ff template was auto-approved.  That's good to know.11:47
asaccool11:47
asacjtv: now there are are some translations available already ... how can that be?11:55
asaclike firefox-3.0 has only 1679 untranslated11:55
jtvasac: people translating in the meantime, maybe?  Or the old heuristic happened to pick some contexts correctly.11:56
asaclook at https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0/+pots/firefox11:56
asachmm ... maybe the old heuristic then11:56
asacok let me upload de.xpi to firefox ... lets see what happens11:57
asacdoing same for xulrunner ... now lets wait ;)11:58
jtvasac: de.xpi triggered the contributor problem.  :-(12:05
jtv(Unless it's changed, which would surprise me)12:05
asacjtv: reconnect12:06
asaclets see if de.xpi really makes lp choke12:06
jtvasac: it did in my tests last week.12:07
jtvasac: that was an old version, but...12:07
asachmm ... so what can we do?12:07
asacits still in "Needs Review" ... so lets hope ;) ... there is a chance that it will work, no?12:08
armin76noes12:16
gnomefreaki think we found out what happens when bug team uses assigned to for triagers instead who is working on the fix12:19
jtvasac: de.xpi got auto-approved as well, so at least we know that that works!12:20
asacjtv: good. but import will fail you say?12:22
gnomefreakde.xpi for sunbird needs to be fixed upstream as its not ablet o be downloaded12:22
gnomefreakatleast when i ran the sunbird locales12:22
jtvasac: that's what I expect, yes.  I'm about to push the fix for that, now that I've discussed it with you.12:22
asacjtv: when will "intrepid" be created for translations?12:27
asachttps://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/firefox-3.012:28
asacor are the templates not copied?12:28
jtvasac: the templates will be copied, yes.  I'll do that soon.12:28
asacok great.12:28
jtvasac: we're working on something to make that hassle more or less unnecessary, but (naturally) were optimistic about how fast we could do it.12:31
asacjtv: i wonder if you plan to introduce something like hardy-updates hardy-security?12:32
asacat some point ... i think that would be best to cover all kind of wierd cases that might pop up12:32
jtvasac: you mean pockets?12:33
asacyes i think thats the launchpad term for it.12:33
jtvasac: it's a part of the app that I'm really not very familiar with yet, so a lot to explore there first.12:33
asacits not that urgent. just wondered, because once we upload ffox 3 rc1 we have other keys in there than in what is in plain hardy12:36
asacjtv: ok it really failed.12:46
jtvasac: I'm just writing the cover letter for that fix.12:46
asacthanks12:47
jtvasac: if this is causing you big problems, I can ask for the fix to be cherry-picked.12:47
asacjtv: which bug do you mean? the contributor bug?12:58
asacor the hardy-updates one?12:59
jtvasac: the contributor one.12:59
jtvasac: just adding a test for non-ascii names, which I'd forgotten to include.13:00
asacjtv: well ... we cannot import any translations right now. so i think its at least semi-urgent13:00
asacit definitly needs to be sorted out before we get ffox 3.0 RC113:00
asacwhich might be two weeks or a bit more13:01
asacbefore that i don't need new imports/exports (except for midbrowser)13:01
asacbut for midbrowser i can workaround by removing contributors manually i guess13:01
jtvasac: that makes it critical.13:09
jtvasac: question: what do we know about the encoding of an RDF file?  UTF-8?  UTF-8 or UTF-16?  Whatever the XML header says?  ASCII?13:10
* jtv prays for ASCII13:10
asacjtv: i think its whatever the xml header says :)13:20
asacif nothing is said its not defined, but most likely utf-813:20
asace.g. contributors can have chinese names :)13:20
jtvasac: can't find anything on the net except that it can be explicitly utf-8.13:21
jtvOne of the things I hate about encodings is this cart-before-horse complication: you need to start parsing in order to find out which character set to start parsing in.13:22
asacok ... i would assume that you can just let the xml parser do it13:26
asacit will use ascii i guess if there is nothing in header ... and if chrome.manifest has utf-8 chars the translators need to add it there13:26
asacbut i can try to find out for sure13:26
* asac asking13:27
asacjtv: ok its utf-813:39
asacaccording to moz folks in #l10n on irc.mozilla.org13:40
jtvasac: great, thanks!13:41
jtvasac: esp. since that's just what I wrote the test for.  :-)13:41
asacgnomefreak: does midbrowser start for you?14:03
gnomefreakasac: never used it unless you mean prism14:39
gnomefreakasac: isnt midbrowser for pda/cell phones?14:39
asacgnomefreak: you can install it in hardy desktop14:39
asacmight not be as useful as in mobile devices, but it works14:39
asac(well unless you cannot start)14:40

asacjtv: i cannot approve https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/midbrowser/trunk/+imports .... to some degree i dont understand the ACLs that sit behind this translation things :/15:12
jtvasac: it's not acls... the main problem, I think, is that access control is on the product or distro level.  In this case you'd probably want it for source packages.15:13
jtvOh wait, this is the product, not the source package.15:13
jtvLemme look.15:13

asacand even registrant ... no idea how i can become more powerful15:15
jtvasac: sorry, I was distracted.  No, actual approval is something special that has to go through the admins.  It's where we check for nonfree projects, unauthorized uploads, templates moving around, and so on.15:17
jtvasac: it's approved now.15:17
jtvShould be imported within minutes.15:18
asacjtv: ok. still you don't have the same procedure for PPA uploads for instance.15:18
jtvasac: but those are private.  This translation file is attached to a product series.15:20
jtvA release series for a product should be registered once, and authoritatively.15:20
gnomefreakill be back later i nee dto go food shopping so i can eat lunch :(15:25
asacjtv: yeah ok. still don't see whats the difference. i mean, I am upstream for midbrowser. i want to use launchpad to do translations for my project. why do i need someone else to approve my templates?15:27
asaci see that this might be to check for non-free stuff ... but then midbrowser project is for me as private as a PPA ... i am the one driving both ;)15:28
jtvasac: but we want it to be registered as exactly 1 project in Launchpad.  For translations, if you really want to treat it as private, pay us!  :-)15:29

JazzvaGreat... I'll be happy to take them17:20
JazzvaOnly on thursday afternoon. That's when I have the last mid-term exam :)17:21
asaccool. maybe take a look and if you want to work on them tell pochu that you will do17:21
JazzvaOk... I would be happy to do them, even if they're hard. Perfect chance to learn something new :)17:22
asacyeah ... and you can get one more advocate on your MOTU list ;)17:22
JazzvaHeh :)17:22
JazzvaOk, sent him a message :)17:24
Jazzvaasac, I'm planning to package Jabbin for the Intrepid. Got a mail from upstream that they sorted out the missing licensing information issue.17:27
asacok cool .... maybe open an ITP in debian too17:28
JazzvaSure... BTW, it would be good to finally test gnome-voice-control in debian, now that I have it installed and to forward the package to them :).17:29
JazzvaOff to lunch, and then to study a bit :). See you later17:31

gnomefreakasac: ok im going back to intrepid i looked for dbg or dbgsym package for vlc hoping maybe that would help but there isnt anything  like that.17:46
gnomefreakfta: intrepid is failing to load gdm/X18:09
shirishhi all, I'm unable to see some flash files, I have both the swfdec-mozilla plugin as well as gnash-mozilla plugin installed, what should I do?18:11
gnomefreakim gonna leave tty1 up and running i need to go for a while not feeling so hot. fta you had stated you downgraded xfonts.... or something like that and you were able to load it? it goes through and passes everything but still blinks never loads18:11
gnomefreakshirish: remove swfdec18:11
gnomefreakshould work than18:11
shirishgnomefreak: swfdec has issues?18:12
gnomefreakasac: can we get rid of swfdec from archives as it doesnt work and isnt needed for anything that im aware of18:12
gnomefreakshirish: others have18:12
gnomefreakshirish: not sure why its hindering flash useless but many have removed it and the .so and they got it working18:12
* gnomefreak gone for a while.18:13
shirishgnomefreak: would do the needful18:13
shirishasac: there's also a new bug-fix version of swfdec which got released few days ago, perhaps that might work.18:13
gnomefreakmaybe but if its not needed why have it at all18:13
shirishgnomefreak: I would always love to have some competition, gnash otherwise has no competition18:14
gnomefreaksure it does flashplugin-nonfree18:14
shirishwith swfdec there is some sort of competition for both of them and hence motivation for both the developers as well.18:14
shirishwhich if breaks does nothing for anybody. I know of so many bug-reports which end up just as noise.18:15
gnomefreakwe are at a stage were 64 bit runs everything as 32 does (for most part)18:15
shirishswfdec became 0.7.1 woot18:16

ftablizzard: no, we are not shipping breakpad, if that's what you mean20:24
ftai meant crashreporter20:25
blizzardbreakpad, yeah20:26
blizzardasac: just that we're not getting crash reports from linux - hard to figure out which topcrashes we should be working on on linux20:27
gnomefre1kthank you genous(spelling) <really smart person>20:28
gnomefre1know i just can upgrade that package20:29
blizzardasac: anyway, something to think about - would really help the quality on ubuntu if we could figure out how to get those reports made into our system20:29
asacblizzard: right ... thats on our list to figure for this cycle.20:30
blizzardasac: good, good20:31
blizzardasac: you working with ted + others to figure out how to get the build info to our servers?20:31
asacblizzard: for crash reports we haven't started yet to think about how to do it properly.20:31
blizzardasac: ok20:32
asacblizzard: in the past we always assumed that you don't want the crash reports ... thats why i have just little knowledge on how all this works20:32
asacso there needs to be some discussion up front i guess.20:32
blizzardasac: I'm assuming we do?  I can't imagine why we wouldn't20:32
asacblizzard: not sure either. but we have system nspr/nss for instance and might have different versions of glib/gtk and so on.20:34
blizzardasac: I think we would need to import your final binary builds + debug symbols or something20:35
blizzardasac: but in any case, stack traces are stack traces20:35
blizzardasac: at least we would know where they came from20:35
asacright, if the crash database if flexible enough to deal with these kind of variables that would be great.20:36
asacwho would be the right person to talk to?20:36

Volansthanks fta because in the italian forum we have many topics about FF3 problems and someone have asked if we will follow FF releases21:25
ftathe 3.0.* train, yes. probably not 3.1.* (if any) and surely not 4.*21:26
