askandHi, where was the decision abot choosing F-spot and EOG over gThumb taken? IRC or some mailinlist?17:24
=== fta_ is now known as fta
persiaaskand: You asked that before.  As mentioned before, it's not a very active time right now.  The decision was actually reached in a bug, but discussed also in IRC and the mailing list.17:59
asacRiddell: do you know the kubuntu contributor who did the firefox qt thing?18:01
asacRiddell: would be cool if you could send him into #ubuntu-mozillateam18:01
asacapachelogger: ^^ ;)18:02
asacapachelogger: would you mind to join our channel? thanks!18:03

=== emgent is now known as emgent`
askandpersia: I do not think I asked that before, I asked it in another channel but I asked here first. Thanks for answering btw, im asking because of thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89894019:14
persiaaskand: My apologies then: I got the order misplaced.19:17
Erik_AHi, where's the appropriate place to suggest new software needing to get packaged?19:17
=== ryu2 is now known as ryu
persiaMy memory was that the consensus was that F-Spot did everything gThumb did and more, and there was a lot of demand for F-spot, and the discs are only so big.  If you think eog should be pulled, file a bug, but I suspect it's unlikely as it's considered part of GNOME upstream.19:19
persiaErik_A: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages19:19
Erik_Apersia, thank you19:19
frithcan i ask a question about changing the dependencies of a package?19:20
fritherm, i mean build dependencies19:20
persiafrith: Packaging questions are better addressed in #ubuntu-motu19:21
friththanks19:21

LaneyHow does apport/whatever detect a crash? I keep getting false positives from terminator.21:20
verwilsthi! i would like to provide backtraces for firefox crashes21:30
verwilsti tried installing dbgsym packages for anything i could find in the backtrace with gdb21:31
verwilstbut it keeps saying no debugging symbols found21:31
verwilstany idea?21:31
verwilstoh, handy link21:34
verwilstbtw, ddebs for -security are still broken...21:34
ScottKverwilst: #ubuntu-mozillateam might be a better channel.21:36
verwilstoh21:37
verwilstanyone has got ddebs in his repo?21:45
verwilst( hardy )21:45
verwilstit's for a little test ;)21:45
verwilstnm!22:05
martinwmcould one of you nice guys copy a non-developer how you could approach sabdfl for an open an honest word that gets me feedback?22:19
martinwmcause i have seen all his talks from the last years at debian events. and if he would be honest about his hype for colaboration, then i think he would never hire a socially retarded asshole like Steve Langasek. cause the price of having such a tech genious in a group of people is too high22:21
martinwmcolaboration of a team would replace such a person pretty well22:21
* slangasek chuckles22:21
verwilstouch :)22:22
martinwmand i would love to have on tape how Mark justifies having such a moron aboard :)22:23
martinwmslangasek: takes you long today to suck the cock of ircops so i fall from the network22:25
martinwmwhats wrong Mr. Narciss?22:26
ajmitchslangasek: looks like you've got another fan :)22:26
Nafallodon't feed the troll :-)22:27
martinwmajmitch: when you look at the world population, the number of people is pretty small of love the tech genious so much that they tolerate narcissism of that kind22:27
martinwms/small of/small who/22:27
martinwmnalioth: high darling. you come in pink to rescue cock smoker slangasek?22:28
slangasekwell, yes, he /should/ know better...22:28
ajmitchonly mildly entertaining at that22:28
slangasekajmitch: same fan as usual, as it happens22:28
slangaseknalioth: is Patrick Frank no longer banned from the network?22:29
naliothslangasek: i can't answer that22:30
slangasekheh22:30
slangasekis there someone who can?22:30
naliothno22:31
naliothwe don't discuss k-lines22:31
nxvlslangasek: what did you do to that guy to be so angry with you?22:31
slangaseknalioth: well, I'd like to know whether it's appropriate to inform freenode staff when I see him around, or if it should be dealt with by channel ops22:32
slangaseknxvl: I kicked him from some channels a few times for being abusive22:33
naliothslangasek: the channel ops can handle their channels22:33
nxvlslangasek: just that?22:33
slangaseknxvl: he also doesn't like it that I see through his ban evasion attempts22:33
nxvlslangasek: so in summary he's mad because you were smarter?22:34
Nafallo:-)22:34
slangaseknxvl: well, also I said a few choice things to him while in the process of distracting him from the channels until I could reach a network op22:35
slangasekhe seems to have taken some of them personally22:35
naliothnrpil: i suspect these folks can give you a name to google for that will explain some things22:36
nxvlslangasek: yes, i can tell22:41
pwnguinits critically important that those who wield social exclusion powers appear impartial22:44
slangasekpwnguin: ehm, it doesn't make a difference to him.22:45
slangasekhe believes he has a greater social calling to engage in ban evasion of any form needed to get his message out22:46
spmpwnguin: to add to slangasek; there are those who will always see partiality no matter how little this is or isn't. jm2c.22:46
pwnguinsure22:46
pwnguinBut I've noticed several people who appear to carry personal grudges on both sides of this =(22:47
pwnguinwell22:47
pwnguin"this" not being someone specific22:47
pwnguinmaintaining behavior beyond reproach will at least lessen public sympathy22:49
nxvlyep as the guy who posted in planet ubuntu this week agains canonical for not letting he use ubuntu's name22:49
nxvlor a derivative of it22:49
nxvlpwnguin: there is always people who think they own the truth22:50
wgrantBut his arguments are infallible!22:50
wgrant"You're wrong, I'm right."22:50
pwnguinthis feels like an argument22:51
nxvllike the guy who insult me 2 or 3 days ago in -server because i didn't understand why he wanted to have a graphical environmet on his server22:51
nxvlthe funniest thing was that he was expecting help from me after calling me a noob22:52
* slangasek nudges the conversation in a more on-topic direction. So, how about all that PAM breakage this week? :-)22:52
nxvlslangasek: it's broken?22:53
slangaseknxvl: you tell me ;)22:53
nxvli don't run intrepid22:53
pwnguinpsh22:53
nxvlother than in a VM22:53
nxvland use it only for development and testing22:54
pwnguinthere was a strange debconf question22:54
nxvli will upgrade to intrepid next week22:54
nxvlor 2 weeks from now on22:54
nxvlupgrading before FF is a nightmare22:54
pwnguinit nuked my thinkfinger stuff, but i need to try out fprint anyways22:54
slangasekpwnguin: strange, like it was confusing and should be revised?22:55
nxvlslangasek: btw, what is exactly the work of the release team?22:55
pwnguinslangasek: well, i had a modified config, it asked if i wanted to change that22:55
pwnguinive got debconf set to a lower than usual priority22:56
pwnguinie not default22:56
slangaseknxvl: broadly, "keep things on track"22:56
nxvlslangasek: as in?22:56
slangasekpwnguin: well, if you have a modified config, you'll see the question even at default priority22:56
nxvli have the feeling that it involves a lot of QA work22:56
slangaseknxvl: yes22:56
pwnguinslangasek: im just wondering what changed22:57
nxvlslangasek: so you work really close to the QA team22:57
nxvlor it's a different QA work?22:57
slangasekkeeping a handle on ISO testing so we know when milestones are ready, escalating bugs when they need to be to get them fixed, tracking bug nominations and triaging (in the "decide what should be given priority" sense)22:57
slangaseknxvl: there is definitely work with the QA team, yes, though for the most part we work in parallel (which spares having either group block the other)22:58
slangasekthere's also archive QAing, to make sure packages are all installable and up-to-date22:58
slangasekpwnguin: the pam-config-framework spec22:58
slangasekhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PAMConfigFrameworkSpec22:58
nxvlso, it's something like take a cord and start hitting the developers to go in the right direction as quick as possible22:58
nxvl:P22:58
pwnguinslangasek: well, if it works, it seems like a good idea :-)22:59
slangaseknxvl: I find that whippings are not the most effective means of motivating developers; otherwise, sure ;)23:00
pwnguinslangasek: the spec demands a copy of local modifciations be preserved. where might that be?23:00
slangasekpwnguin: /etc/pam.d/common-*.pam-old; however, I have one bug in that area which will have clobbered the mods in certain cases if you've already upgraded23:01
slangasek(sorry :/)23:01
pwnguinok23:01
pwnguinits easy23:01
pwnguindont worry23:01
slangasekthe fix for that will be uploaded tomorrow, right after I finish writing the missing manpage23:01
nxvlslangasek: heh, yeah, but it;s funnier said that way23:01
nxvl:P23:01
pwnguini was just wondering what all changed but i need to mess with fprint anyways23:01
slangasekit would be ideal to have the fingerprinting modules integrated with this for intrepid too, then you can get your config back automagically :)23:02
slangasekok, I'm off to work on laying a floor; say hi to Paddy for me when he comes back23:05
