stefanlsdseb128: I realise you said you may not have time at the moment to help with pidgin 2.5.1.  I'm not getting any assistance from motu re. the libpurple0.symbols.  I have created 2.5.1. Checked if the patches are still valid and it all seems good. I just wanted to verify the symbol stuff, but am unsure about this. Do you know of anything that I could read to help me out - i found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/CheckingLibrarySymbols09:09
stefanlsd  - but i'm not sure this is the correct thing.09:09
seb128no I don't know, I've never really used it myself before and I hacked a bit to do the previous pidgin update09:10
seb128I don't think the ubuntu wiki is updated for the new symbols list09:11
seb128that's a new debian feature and the wiki page was written before09:11
stefanlsdseb128: how do i determine if the symbols are correct or if there may be a problem with them?09:12
seb128during the build the dpkg-gensymbols call will display a symbols diff, if there is any change you need to update the list09:13
seb128the tricky part is how to update the list correctly09:13
stefanlsdseb128: kk. thanks. let me see if i get any errors. then i'll worry about how to fix them :)09:15
seb128alright09:16
stefanlsdseb128: yeah :|  - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/42980/09:28
seb128stefanlsd: right09:29
seb128stefanlsd: I'm leanning torward "let debian do the update and merge on their new version"09:29
seb128they will likely package 1.5.1 in experimental09:30
huatsseb128: hey09:42
huatsseb128: I have put the new gcalctool on LP09:42
seb128hey huats, just read your gcalctool sponsoring request09:42
huatsseb128: ok great09:55
huats:)09:55
huatsthanks09:55
mptseb128, hey there13:17
seb128hello mpt13:18
mptseb128, I dinged Pidgin for having logging off by default. Upstream says they're uncomfortable with changing that, but might change their minds if we set logging on by default in our Pidgin package and no-one (or hardly anyone) complains. Is that something you'd be willing to do?13:18
seb128mpt: yes, I see no issue with that, we have time to get feedback and it's easy to change if that's an issue13:19
wgrantThat default has always bugged me.13:19
wgrantIt's always first thing I change if I remember.13:19
mptseb128, ok, should I report a bug for it then?13:20
seb128mpt: yes please and give me the bug number13:20
stefanlsdseb128: i've been going through the symbol stuff (and i think im slowly understanding it!)  dpkg-gensymbols wants to remove the libgnt.so.0  (do you know if this lib no longer being built as part of libpurple0?)13:22
mptseb128, bug 18079613:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 180796 in pidgin "Logging is off by default" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18079613:23
seb128mpt: thanks13:24
mptthank you seb128 :-)13:24
seb128stefanlsd: no, it was already doing that in the previous version, not sure why13:24
stefanlsdseb128: i am going to try add the new symbols and remove the libgnt symbols (i see libgnt is actually part of finch).  Would this be the correct approach?13:25
seb128stefanlsd: I've no clue, honestly wait on debian to do this update13:26
stefanlsdseb128: heh. kk. i'm going to keep playing as its something i'd like to try learn and understand.13:27
mptasac_, Firefox in Ubuntu defaults to storing history for 90 days. Is that a change from upstream? I thought the default was 9 days13:38
asac_mpt: we dont change anthing in that direction13:38
mpthm, must be new in FF3 then13:39
asac_mpt: most likely it was bumped to 90 days because of the new places13:39
asac_yeah13:39
=== asac_ is now known as asac
andreasnmpt: what would be the arguments against logging by default? privacy reasons or disk space?13:40
mptandreasn, I don't know, but they seem to be against browsers storing history, e-mail programs storing messages, etc as well13:40
mpthttp://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2008-August/006644.html13:41
mptwell, that's one person, I shouldn't extrapolate :-)13:41

lapohi17:33
lapoI read a strange story about the next default icon theme...17:35
lapois oxygen+human really going to be the default icon theme on gnome for hardy+1?17:36
thorwillapo: #ubuntu-artwork would be more appropiate. but no. where did you read that?17:46
lapothorwil: this one sounds a tad scary to me: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-September/007559.html17:54
thorwillapo: you should read there. word for word. don't jump to conclusions. don't start silly rumors. pick the appropriate channel!17:56
lapodid I started a silly rumor?17:57
seb128tedg1: there is a new gnome-power-manager version available if you want to do the update17:57
emberasac make it two beers17:58
thorwillapo: they start exactly like this17:58
thorwillapo: i will leave no other word about this topic here17:58
lapouhm, sorry about that, just asked17:58
asacember: anything else ;)?17:58
tedg1seb128: Yes, it fixes mario's bug also.17:58
tedg1I'm going to try and get this icons working first though.17:59
seb128tedg1: do you confirm http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17251753/gnome-power-manager-hardy.debdiff is correct for an hardy update?17:59
tgnbhi there, i have a friend who has a strange ssh problem18:01
tedg1seb128: Yes, but, I'm offended that it removes the curly braces.  They're a good coding practice.  Richard said that he added the same patch to SVN for this release, I was going to grab that one so that it could be tied to an SVN version number as a cherry pick.18:01
tgnbi tried to help him but im actually stumped, thought maybe i could inquire in here18:01
tgnbhe is on a ubuntu laptop, and connects to 5 servers via ssh18:02
tgnbrecently he lost the ability to connect to one out of 5 servers .. but only from his office18:02
seb128tedg1: the patch is the svn one, http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-power-manager/trunk/libhal-glib/libhal-gpower.c?r1=2910&r2=2909&pathrev=291018:02
tgnbwhen connecting it just sits there before prompting for username and password18:02
tgnbit doesn't seem to ever time out though .. he's waited a very long time18:03
tedg1seb128: Ah, cool.  It should probably say that in the comment.  For the record, I still don't like the lack of braces, but better to match SVN :)18:03
seb128tgnb: hi, that's not an user channel and ssh is not a desktop application so you are at the wrong place anyway18:03
tgnbok sorry then :/18:04
seb128tedg1: right, you can talk to upstream about the style change ;-)18:04
seb128tgnb: try #ubuntu18:04
laposeb128: do you remember the iso image icon I sent you time ago?18:08
asacseb128: when will the next -keyring snapshot end up in the archive?18:09
seb128lapo: yes, it's used in the ubuntu gnome-icon-theme18:09
asacseb128: i think they committed a potential fix for my ssh agent issues18:09
asacso wonder if i should just wait a bit to verify ... or test the patch manually18:09
seb128asac: they didn't rolled a tarball this week but yet another GNOME is due next week, I've seen the bug, they fixed it in gnome-session though no?18:09
asacnot sure ... was a bit of back and forth18:10
asaclet me look18:10
laposeb128: I think it would be important to have a .deb specific icon as well, if I send you the icons can you patch ubuntu g-i-t with them, I cannot add them upstream without being killed :-)18:10
asacseb128: one patch is against gnome-keyring-daemon-wrapper.c the other  compat/gnome-keyring-daemon-wrapper.c18:11
seb128lapo: yes, can do that ;-)18:11
laposeb128: thank, I'll send you the icon tomorrow or the day after18:11
seb128asac: that's gnome-session18:11
seb128asac: I packaged the new version but it has issues so I didn't upload18:11
seb128lapo: thank you!18:11
asacseb128: ok. thanks18:11
seb128asac: I can scp it somewhere if you want to give it a try18:12
asacseb128: what issues does it have?18:12
seb128asac: they changed again the way the wm is started which breaks compiz again18:12
asacok ... if its just compiz its fine. i dont use it here ;)18:12
seb128asac: you might get no wm at all18:12
asacunless it busts other sessions as well :)18:12
asachmm18:13
asaci think ill cherry pick ;)18:13
seb128alright18:13
vuntzseb128: you might want to grab patches from trunk and put back gnome-wm18:14
seb128vuntz: I'm going to wait for the next tarball and revert the gnome-wm changes18:15
vuntzseb128: next tarball?18:15
seb128vuntz: next week18:15
seb1282.23.9218:15
vuntzah, ok18:15
seb128I'm not in a hurry to update18:15
vuntzasac: hopefully, the changes in 2.23.91 should fix your keyring issues. If not, please ping me18:15
seb128vuntz: has the gnome-wm thing be discussed somewhere?18:16
vuntzseb128: no...18:16
seb128vuntz: also it stopped looking at the directory where the metacity autostart is installed which means you get now wm at all18:16
seb128s/now/no18:16
vuntzseb128: we discussed all the issues afterwards, with fcrozat18:16
seb128and?18:17
vuntzseb128: this last one is fixed if you put back gnome-wm or if you use the latest metacity18:17
vuntzseb128: we didn't understand why gnome-wm isn't shipped anymore :-)18:17
seb128I'll put gnome-wm back I think18:17
seb128the redhat guys don't like it18:17
vuntzI know18:17
vuntzwe need to discuss what's wrong with it and fix the issues18:18
seb128vuntz: btw how did the "what gdm version should be used for 2.24" discussion turned?18:18
vuntzseb128: andre is responsible for it. No idea where it went18:18
seb128ok18:18
vuntzandre__, I meant18:18
seb128vuntz: is opensuse using 2.23?18:18
vuntzyeah18:18
seb128no complain?18:18
vuntznot that much18:19
seb128I'm impressed ;-)18:19
vuntzbut I've not been following this closely18:19
seb128hpj is looking at it right?18:19
vuntzyep18:19
andre__oh, i'm responsible for it? :-)18:20
vuntzandre__: sure yo uare18:20
andre__i thought it's vuntz :)18:20
vuntzandre__: stop lying!18:21
andre__no, really :)18:21
andre__don't outsource your tasks to me, honey!18:21
vuntzwhy would it be me? You handled everything!18:21
seb128alright, nobody is looking at this one18:21
andre__no, only a few things i had on my list last friday :)18:21
asacseb128: \o/ i can use the keyring again18:22
asacwhat a relieve ;)18:22
seb128:-)18:22
vuntzandre__: so, let's make it official. You're responsible of this decision :-P18:22
asacrelief18:22
asacnot sure18:22
asac;)18:22
seb128asac: what I don't get is why you have the issue and nobody else18:22
vuntzseb128: I know the keyring was broken here too. Sure, it's not ubuntu ;-)18:23
seb128vuntz: well it's working for me, at least I get the ssh agent18:23
seb128anyway good to know it's working for asac too now ;-)18:24
asaci dunno. i am happy that vuntz had this as well ;)18:24
asacotherwise i probably would have ended up typgin my passphras 1billion times ;)18:25
andre__vuntz, i'm quite undecided now that i see that opensuse and foresight don't see big issues18:25
vuntzandre__: your call18:25
seb128andre__: how much testing does unstable opensuse get? ;-)18:25
andre__so i'll let the fun for you18:25
vuntzandre__: you're so dreaming ;-)18:26
seb128and I expect lot of the annoyance will be for normal users18:26
seb128ie no gdmsetup will really annoy users18:26
seb128no way to enable autologin18:26
pedro_themes ;-)18:26
andre__well, what if we're refusing to use it for another time? we will end up in some state where the gdm hackers won't care at all about r-t comments. on the other hand, is that a difference to the current situation? :-P18:26
seb128xdmcp18:26
seb128andre__: at least you don't lower the GNOME standards18:27
* vuntz leaves the discussion18:27
vuntztime to finally take a break ;-)18:27
seb128yeah, me too18:27
* andre__ gets back to his virtual cheese plate before getting the dessert, any french should understand that :-P18:27
seb128brb, restarting my session18:27
vuntzdo you guys already have evo 2.23.91 packaged?18:45
* vuntz needs people to reproduce a bug18:45
seb128vuntz: yes18:45
vuntzseb128: ah, cool. Does it work for you on a clean account?18:45
vuntzin my jhbuild, it just hangs18:45
seb128I'm about to go for diner, what doesn't work for you?18:45
vuntzlaunching it a second time works, though18:46
seb128didn't try on a new account18:46
vuntzie, I fill all my account info, and then it hangs while displaying the main window18:46
vuntzno useful stack trace, though :/18:46
* seb128 tries18:46
seb128vuntz: no seems to work fine on first run here18:51
seb128I've to go for dinner, bbl18:51
