greg-gsecretlondon: what about just cc-by?00:04
greg-gthat version is making more headway in adoption (from what I've seen)00:05
greg-g(for blogs by prominent people in academia, and educational resources also)00:06
greg-gie: the OpenCourseWare project I work with is all CC-BY (and the code is BSD)00:07
secretlondongreg-g by is okay, but in free content land we generally prefer by-sa00:07
secretlondonwikipedia says best practice is to dual license everything as by-sa and gfdl (which is what i do)00:07
greg-gI thought there was something funky about the gfdl (I don't know what specifically, just a memory I have that I can't place)00:08
secretlondongreg-g wikipedia would like to move to cc-by-sa tbh.00:09
greg-ggotcha00:10
secretlondonthe prob with the gfdl is "invariant sections" which are non free, curiously the only docs I've ever seen with invariant sections have been from the free software foundation00:10
greg-gthats what it was00:10
greg-gI thought it had to do something with what the FSF was doing, but I wasn't sure so I didn't point any fingers :)00:11
greg-gwow, move the "to do" to the right place in that sentence00:11
secretlondondebian sees that as non free00:13
secretlondonthe prob with wikipedia is that once you decide on a license you are kinda stuck with it00:13
greg-gright00:13
secretlondonwe need the fsf to co-operate as we'd like greater interoperability between the gfdl and cc-by-sa00:15
secretlondonthis is easier said than done00:15
greg-gheh00:16
greg-gI can imagine00:16
howaptall these acronyms really get me going00:16
howaptplease dont stop00:17
greg-gwell, if you have any ideas this summer than you want an insider's view on from CC, let me know, I'll be interning there00:17
secretlondongreg-g cool!00:21
greg-gsecretlondon: yeah :)  "community development" is what I'll be doing :)00:23

ubottuLaunchpad bug 204757 in exim4 "package update-manager 1:0.87.12 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20475700:47
bdmurrayzyx386: which problem there seem to be 2 separate bugs in that report, one regarding exim4 and one regarding virtualbox-ose.00:52
* Hobbsee wonders when the bugsquad will write documentation, or mails to the mailing list, on how they view that MOTU should use launchpad for workflow bugs.02:43
artfwowhy cannot a MOTU bug just be tagged with a "motu-workflow" tag?02:45
Hobbseeartfwo: because tags are evil, can't be set when filing a bug on the standard UI, add to the tag cloud, mainly.02:47
Hobbseeand, iirc, aren't shown on the email interface either.02:48
Hobbseeif they are in the bugmail, i don't think they're in the headers, which makes filtering harder.02:48
artfwoyep, indeed02:48
Hobbseeif those bugs actually got fixed, then yes, that probably is a decent solution - if the bugsquad could cope with having bugs it was specifically not to touch, which i've already been told demoralises new bugsquadees, because they can't touch everything, and do what they like to it.02:49
artfwoHobbsee: do you have an url with an example motu bug?02:53
Hobbseeartfwo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/secvpn/+bug/15473002:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 154730 in secvpn "Please remove secvpn source and binary from Hardy" [Wishlist,Triaged]02:54
Hobbseeartfwo: for more, check things with ubuntu-archive or ubuntu-universe-sponsors subscribed.02:54
bdmurrayHobbsee: tags do show up in bug e-mail headers now in the X-Launchpad-Bug-Tags header to be exact04:03
Hobbseebdmurray: ahh, this must be new.  that's a good start.04:03
bdmurrayyeah, it came out one of the last couple of releases04:04
ScottKCan tags be added via the email interface?04:05
bdmurrayScottK: it looks like it 'tag foo bar' or 'tag -foo'04:06
ScottKThen if it was agreed, it's be trivial to do for syncs since those are mostly done with requestsync, but most other workflow bugs are hand written.04:07
ScottKIf we all agreed that the priority was for making things easy for new triagers at the expense of making more work for developers, I don't see any problem with a tag approach.04:08

askandHello, I uploaded a patch to solve a bug on launchpad, what is the next step?12:51
ScottKaskand: What bug?12:51
askandScottK:  bug 8993612:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 89936 in gmail-notify "Gmail notifier crashes when new e-mail is found and the user are supposed to be alerted about it" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/8993612:52
* ScottK looks12:52
ScottKaskand: Why do you change meddelande to mail?12:54
ScottKIt seems that you've undone the translation.12:55
askandScottK: hm no..mail is used in Sweden to but it can be used as both plural an singular as opposit to meddelande that has to have meddelanden to be plural12:56
ScottKI see.12:56
ScottKaskand: First, for those of us who don't speak Swedish it'd be good to note in the bug why you changed the string (what you just told me).12:57
askand ScottK: ok will do, well the reason I changed the string is not that I think mail is better or something but it works good and does not make the program crash12:58
ScottKaskand: Second, the next step would be to integrate the patch into a package update and produce a debdiff.  Are you interested in learning how to do that?12:58
askand ScottK: indeed, eager to learn :)12:58
ScottKaskand: Then you should join #ubuntu-motu and ask for help with that there.  That's a more appropriate channel for packaging discussions.12:59
askandScottK: thanks12:59

Fallenouhi, i wanna know if someone experienced a bug like mine : when pluging an ethernet wire , nothing appears in dmesg (no eth link up 100Mbps full-duplex message) and can do nothing with network interface.22:44

asacFallenou: gnome/kde?22:45
Fallenougnome22:45
Fallenoubut even if i try in a term i got nothing22:45
asacFallenou: go to system -> adminstration -> network ... and set your devices to "roaming mode"22:45
Fallenouwith ifconfig, dhclient etc ...22:45
asacFallenou: do you use network-manager?22:46
asacif so, go the "roaming mode" path22:46
asacat best try that first22:46
Fallenouyes it is in roaming mode22:46
Fallenoui tried roaming mode, dhcp mode, static ip mode22:46
Fallenoubut it does not detect when i plug a wire anyway22:46
Fallenoueven if my network configuration is wrong (which is not i did nothing special), it should print something in dmesg when i plug a wire22:47
Fallenoui tested the same on my laptop under hardy too and it works well22:47
bdmurrayFallenou: Have you tried checking it with ethtool?22:48
Fallenouno :o22:48
asacFallenou: what are you running? gutsy?22:48
Fallenouasac < everything is explained in the bug i posted22:48
Fallenoui am using hardy22:48

Fallenoubdmurray * sorry22:49
bdmurrayFallenou: 'sudo ethtool eth0'22:49
Fallenoubdmurray do i have to plug the wire to check this ?22:50
bdmurrayIt will show whether or not a link is detected22:50
bdmurrayThe results of the wire connected and not connected would be interesting22:51
Fallenouok i'm gonna test this with and without a wire and post it to launchpad22:51
bdmurraygreat thanks!22:51
Fallenoui'm testing( so i'm gonna disconnect :p)22:51
Fallenoui'll be back right after the test :)22:51
Fallenousee you soon22:51
asacFallenou: 1st you need to know if you are running network-manager22:51
asac:(22:51
asacwell ... do what bdmurray says ;)22:52
Fallenouasac < how to know that ?22:52
bdmurrayasac: Will n-m interfere with ethtool?22:52
Fallenoui'm running gnome with nb-applet22:52
Fallenounm-applet*22:52
asacFallenou: yeah. then you definitly need to configure your interfaces as "roaming" ... otherwise nm will not manage your devices at all22:53
asacpaste your /etc/network/interfaces to be sure after that22:53
asacthen run sudo /etc/dbus-1/events.d/25NetworkManager restart22:54
Fallenoui do all this before testing ethtool ? or after ?22:54
asacwait a while, plug-in your network device ... wait ... plug out22:54
asacthen post your /var/log/syslog to the bug too22:54
asacFallenou: is independent from ethtool i would say22:55
Fallenouok22:55
Fallenoui'm gonna do what you say, so22:55
asacethtool just dumps your interface settings22:55
Fallenousee you in 5 min :p22:56
Fallenoui'm back23:03
Fallenounothing changes in ethtool when i plug a wire23:04
Fallenousamething in /var/log/syslog23:04
Fallenoui'm gonna paste everything anyway ...23:04
asacFallenou: the idea was to restart network manager ;)23:06
asacif you did that please attach syslog to bug23:07
Fallenouyes i restarted the network manager23:07
asacFallenou: stupid question ... if you right click on the nm-applet ... is networking enabled ?23:07
