hggdhmouz, its a regression... james_w did the previous update, perhaps he can state this10:05
hggdhmouz, at least you can tag it 'regression'10:07
mouzhggdh: ok i'll do that and wait for james_w 's reply. thanks.10:08
hggdhIntrepid had the patch as of 1:2.23.5-0ubuntu110:09
hggdhit seems to have been dropped on 1:2.23.6-0ubuntu110:10
james_wmouz, hggdh: we just patched it out for hardy10:37
james_wthis capplet is now upstream, and we dropped most of the patches to follow them10:38
james_wit's ok to forward that bug upstream if there wasn't one already10:38
james_wyou can milestone it for intrepid as well if you like, as we can always just patch it out again10:38

pedro_blah is not working13:28
hggdhAH!13:28
hggdhOK, then I did not mess up my system :-)13:28
hggdhI think this may have been due to the changes on LP13:28

hggdhI will test again (I was prepping a change to 03_lpi.patch to take out bug buddy)13:29
hggdhthank you, pedro_ . I will open a bug on this later this evening (now I have to get to my contract)13:30
pedro_hggdh: you're welcome, thanks for let me know about it ;-)13:31

lumn0tI'm looking for some help with hunting down enough information to report a bug.  My issue is described in a LaunchPad question currently (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+question/38900), but I think the larger issue has gone beyond the question.14:20
* lumn0t prods the channel.14:22
lumn0tHello? Hello?14:25
LaserJockhmm, maybe everybody is out to lunch :-)14:27

chmacNo, it's not, I tested that already I think...14:30
lumn0tProblem: GNOME settings seem borked.  Two obvious symptoms of this are gnome-power-manager had issues and GNOME themes will not apply.  This is being discussed in a LaunchPad question (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+question/38900).14:31
LaserJockyeah, that's pretty funky14:32
lumn0tNot sure what package to file a bug against.14:32
LaserJockseb128 or pedro_ would probably be good people to ask14:33
lumn0tIs privmsg the best way to direct this, then?14:34
pedro_lumn0t: for the GNOME Themes issue is gnome-settings-daemon running?14:34
pedro_is a known issue that it's crashing quite a lot14:34
lumn0tAh.14:34
pedro_that could be why the themes are not being applied14:35
pedro_for the gnome-power-manager tedg is the right person since he's the maintainer ;-)14:35
lumn0tgnome-settings-daemon is indeed running.14:35
pedro_he should be online shortly14:35
pedro_lumn0t: are you running Intrepid or Hardy?14:36
lumn0tHmm.14:46
lumn0tgnome-settings-daemon does seem to be the culprit.  Reinstalling the package has brought themes back.14:46
pedro_well reinstalling it shouldn't make any difference, unless your installation was broken14:49
pedro_we don't have any bugs regarding that and the only issues with themes are in Intrepid with some g-s-d crashes14:50
LaserJockpedro_: it seems to be a problem in a 8.04-> latest updates14:50
LaserJockthat question has at least 3-4 Hardy users with the same problem, I'd suspect a bad SRU14:50
lumn0t..er.. Yes.  But the installation was *not* broken before some relatively recent update.  I was hoping to help find what it was that broke both gnome-power-management and gnome-settings-manager.14:51
pedro_could be but there's no new g-s-d package since april14:51
pedro_s/april/may14:52
* pedro_ looking at the sru list14:52
* lumn0t wonders where the sru list is.14:56
pedro_lumn0t: http://people.ubuntu.com/~sbeattie/sru_todo.html14:56
lumn0tAnd I'm curious that if there was some common cause to both gnome-power-manager and gnome-settings-daemon getting squirrelly, if something else may have been affected that I have not noticed yet.14:57
lumn0tI don't recall when I first saw the symptoms, but the LaunchPad question was opened 7-11, so the update that may have caused the issue dates from before then.15:02
lumn0tWould something that affected gnome-settings-daemon have affected the "configuration defaults" for gnome-power-manager that the reinstall of g-p-m resolved?15:16

james_wbdmurray: your ~/.bzr.log is probably not writeable for your user20:44
james_wit's a pain to try and give a better message for though, as it's a library that gives the warning, and doesn't give much indication when it has.20:45
bdmurrayjames_w: but it is! unless cron needs different permissions20:46
james_wbdmurray: it may be something else then, but that's the usual reason for the message20:48
james_wthis is your users crontab, and you're not sudoing?20:48
james_wi.e. the process is run as your user?20:48
bdmurrayjames_w: it's weird because I'm not even using bzr20:48
james_woh, what are you using?20:48
bdmurrayits, just a bash script and python script20:49
sbeattiebdmurray: but python-launchpad-bugs tries to determine what version it is via bzrlib20:49
bdmurrayI'll pastebinit20:49
bdmurraysbeattie: ah, winner!20:49
bdmurraysbeattie: did you fix it?20:50
james_wdoes it exec() bzr for that?20:50
bdmurraylooks like it import bzrlib.branch20:52
sbeattiebdmurray: no, that's as far as I got in digging into the problem.20:52
james_wI wouldn't have thought that this triggered that message, but I may well be wrong20:52
bdmurrayjames_w: Do you have any ideas then?20:55
sbeattiebdmurray: did you look in your .bzr.log file on rookery?20:56

bdmurrayThere is a message about using 'bzr upgrade' for bughelper21:00
sbeattiejames_w: I get it the same message, even though it successfully wrote to to my .bzr.log21:01
sbeattiebdmurray: mine contains nice tracebacks from each run because it's trying to do bzr operations on the cwd, which for me was $HOME and thus contains no bzr metadata.21:02

james_wwell, the last message happens on every run, but the rest is odd21:06

chrisccoulsonbug 131846 from the hug day list is an intersting one21:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 131846 in gnome-panel "run as doesn't include all folders used in $PATH" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13184621:14
bdmurrayI've seen a duplicate of that21:15
chrisccoulsonthe reporter says that gnome-panel ignores their $PATH env variable when it is defined in ~/.bashrc21:15
chrisccoulsoni have a customised $PATH defined in /etc/environment, and it uses that21:15
sbeattiebdmurray: curious. I don't see it on my hardy machine.21:15
chrisccoulsonso i'm wondering if it's actually a bug in gnome-panel21:15
bdmurraysbeattie: are you up to bzr 1.6 though?21:15
sbeattienope21:16
sbeattieI'm eating distro dogfood not bzr dogfood.21:17
bdmurraychrisccoulson: oh, that's the bug I'm thinking of ;)21:18
bdmurrayI can recreate it21:18
chrisccoulsonhow do you set your $PATH environment? Do you define it in ~/.bashrc too?21:19
bdmurrayoh, my .zshrc21:19
bdmurray:)21:19
bdmurraybut it's in my ~/.bashrc too fwiw21:19
jpdszsh FTW.21:19
chrisccoulsoni'll try modifying another users .bashrc on my machine in a bit and see if i can recreate it too. but gnome-panel searches all of the folders in my $PATH environment, which is defined in /etc/environment (so I've done it a bit different to you)21:21
chrisccoulsonthat might mean it isn't a bug in gnome-panel21:21
chrisccoulsonfor example, i have a load of apps installed in /opt/bin. i can run them no problem by pressing ALT+F2 and typing the program name, so I'm not seeing this issue21:22
chrisccoulsonbdmurray: referrring to bug 131846 again - i think the issue because /bin/sh (symlinked to /bin/dash) is the shell used when the session loads. Dash appears to ignore ~/.bashrc when it loads, which would explain why gnome-panel doesn't search the full $PATH on your machine, but does search it on mine (because I have $PATH defined elsewhere).21:37
ubottuLaunchpad bug 131846 in gnome-panel "run as doesn't include all folders used in $PATH" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13184621:37
chrisccoulsoni'#ve just tried it here by modifying my bashrc. after i've modified $PATH and launch a new bash shell, the new $PATH takes effect. if i then exit and launch dash, it doesn't take effect21:37
bdmurrayIf I start dash and echo $PATH I see /home/brian/bin there21:39
chrisccoulsonhmmmm, that's strange21:39
chrisccoulsondo you start dash from within a bash session which already has the environment set correctly?21:39
bdmurrayyeah, I guess that isn't right21:40
chrisccoulsonwhat you could do is launch a terminal (bash), then clear your $PATH environment by typing (PATH=""). once you've done this, launch dash using '/bin/dash' and then inspect the environment21:41
chrisccoulsonactually, that doesn't behave as expected. $PATH is still empty after loading dash21:42
chrisccoulsona better way of verifying it might be to temporarily set the /bin/sh sym-link back to /bin/bash. i'll try that on my intrepid VM in a bit21:42
=== mcas_away is now known as mcas
sbeattiechrisccoulson: you probably want /bin/dash -l21:45

dupondjea fresh bug :p21:53
chrisccoulsonsbeattie / bdmurray - i can confirm on intrepid that dash ignores the ~/.bashrc file. i set my users shell to /bin/dash, and when I open gnome-terminal, by customised entries are not there. however, if I launch a bash shell, they all appear there21:56
chrisccoulsoni'll re-assign that bug from gnome-panel to dash, if we want dash to look at ~/.bashrc21:56
bdmurrayI don't think that is right21:56
chrisccoulsonwhich bit?21:57
bdmurrayreassinging it21:57
bdmurrayI'd ask seb128 about as he is probably most familiar with the package and our diff from upstream21:57
chrisccoulsonno problem. i had a quick look in the source for gnome-panel, and it does appear to correctly search $PATH when it launches an application. the problem is that it's environment isn't correct as it is spawned from dash21:58
chrisccoulsoni'll catch seb128 when he's on here next and speak to him about it.22:00
