ahmadtarekI think that bug #268946 should be marked as wishlist01:27
ubottuLaunchpad bug 268946 in ubuntu "gpg-encrypted files have no icon" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26894601:27
hggdhahmadtarek, first we have to figure out what package would the bug be in01:59
ahmadtarekOK02:03
persiahggdh: If gpg-encrypted files did have an icon, what application do you think they ought launch?  I know gedit has a plugin which works fairly well, but I'm not sure if either kate is still the default or kate has such a plugin.  What do you think of a multi-task bug?02:37
hggdhpersia, I was thinking about the same lines... this cannot be a single package thingy02:43
hggdhbut I cannot figure out which packages should be in (and I would hate to put in the wrong ones)02:44
persiahggdh: Well, it could be, in that gnupg could provide the necessary MIME hints, or we could create a wrapper that provided the MIME hints, decrypted, rechecked the file, and passed it to the MIME-open handler for the DE (if it exists).02:44
hggdhyes, certainly the icon should be provided by gpg, but would mime be better used out of the standard mime-type supplier?02:45
persiaAlternately, we could expect each DE to extend the MIME-open handler to auto-decrypt gpg-encrypted data (with pinentry), and then pass to the appropriate owning application for the data itself.02:45
hggdhpersia, this now is more like a project than a simple bug02:45
hggdhno matter what, I think indeed the icon should be provided with gnupg02:46
persiahggdh: Indeed.  Mind you, it's only a one or two day project, and some real bugs take a week or more to sort, so I'm not sure it belongs external to the bugtracker, but I do agree it's wishlist (with the affected package to be determined by whoever develops a good idea of how to implement)02:47
hggdhpersia, OK. I will add gnupg as a base package, and note in there this chat02:47
persiaWhy should gnupg provide the icon?  It's deep base, so it's quite possible that when the gpg postinst runs, there is no available icon cache in which to register the icon.  Remember: dpkg likes to have gpg available when starting the install.02:48
persiaNot registering the icon means that it's not in the icon cache, which might cause a broken icon in some environments (although one presumes another package will refresh the icon cache later, there's no guarantee)02:49
hggdhthen...02:49
hggdhthis would be part of a desktop package02:49
persiaThat's what I'm thinking.  Probably the responsibility of the MIME-open handler for the DE, and absent in environments without such a handler.02:51
persiaSo, in the case of GNOME, nautilus and gnome-open would be able to handle the idea of decrypting, and redirecting to the appropriate place.02:51
persiaNote that such an implementation may be considered a possible security issue, as there's no guarantee that the contents of the cleartext will not be committed to disk somewhere for applications without native handling of encypted files, which is why I thought gedit, vim, kate, etc. might also be a good set of candidates for the affected package.02:52
hggdhhum02:53
hggdhnautilus already offers a decrypt option02:53
persiaYes, but as currently implemented, it does store cleartext on disc, which may not be what a user expects from just double-clicking an icon.02:53
hggdh(actually two, in may case: kgpg and "Decrypt file"02:53
persiaOf course, we could just provide an icon and no MIME handlers, but I expect we'll get anothe wishlist bug saying it should open something.02:54
hggdhbut persia, this is a different issue: where a cleartext should be stored is a problem of the application creating it02:54
hggdh(meaning memory, clean-up, etc)02:55
hggdhhum -- persia the mime-handler already exists, at least on Intrepid02:55
persiaIn that case, the provider of the mime-handler ought also provide an icon.02:56
hggdhcool. this simplifies the issue: kgpg does not provide it (the default application that opened to deal with the file), and "Decrypt File" (which I am going to find out what it is)02:57
persiaAnd that covers GNOME and KDE.  Anyone running xfce that can check this?  How does thunar handle it?02:58
hggdhthis begs another question: is it an application responsability to provide the icons, or should they be provided by, say, nautilus?02:58
hggdhuser scenario: I received a file for which I do not have the correct application installed. Should it be shown without an icon (if this is a, huh, common, application)?02:59
persiaGenerally it's the responsibility of the provider of the MIME hints to provide the icons as well.03:00
persiaYeah, but most users are going to have a decryptor as part of their install, and those who fussed with the install can go install one.03:00
hggdhfor gpg, yes, I agree. The question was generic, though03:01
persiaThe generic argument is "If it's a common file type, the MIME handler is included in the default install.  If you think there isn't a handler for something that is a common filetype, please file a bug", and then we look at whether a given application should be installed by default.03:02
persiaThere are also ways to provide mime-handlers that cause installs to happen (c.f. easy-codec-installs), but ideally these are kept to a minimum, as it's a fair amount of overhead.03:03
hggdhso we are back to kgpg & friends03:06
hggdhand no icon unless a application that deals with it is installed. OK. For this specific case, kgpg and the "Decrypt File" should then be selected for starters03:07
hggdhseahorse, it seems03:08
persiaThat makes sense to me, and then kgpg and seahorse can decide what to do with the file.03:18
persiaAlso, kgpg and seahorse can provide icons that work well with the general ideas, and can likely be themeable.03:19
hggdhjust checked -- seahorse does provide the icons, at /usr/share/pixmaps/seahorse03:24
hggdhso what is missing is for the icons to be registered03:25
hggdhergo, it is out of a wishlist, and back as a bug03:25
persiaI still think it's "wishlist", as it doesn't really interfere with much, but at least you found a candidate package :)03:32
hggdhroger willco03:32
hggdhdone03:34
persiaExcellent detective work there.  I start wondering how to solve the problem in a vacuum, and you've discovered someone just forgot to hint the icon in the MIME registration :)03:40
* hggdh blushes03:41
hggdhwell tell you the truth, I was completely lost... you gave me the idea of where to look for it. Guess it is what you get for using the command line for 30 yearas03:41
persiaheh.03:43

persiaJoining bug control generally requires one to have at least 5 examples of bugs well triaged, and to get good comments to the application by other members of bug control.06:03
nullackWell my karma is 1126 so I should be able to come up with some examples06:04

fabrice_spHi. How do I convert a bug into a sync request? (bug 119959)07:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 119959 in texlive-extra "request for updated achemso" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/11995907:18

ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about sync07:23
persiaGrumble07:23
persiafabrice_sp: You'd edit the description to match https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess07:24
persiaNote that the archive is currently under freeze restrictions for features and UI changes.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule andhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess07:25
fabrice_sppersia: thanks for the link. That's right that I forget this freezing issue. Anyway, I'll update the descriptionfor compliance purpose07:28
persiafabrice_sp: No point updating the description unless you think it deserves a freeze exception.  Everything will get updated after release anyway.07:28
danbh_intrepidhey, if a bug is fixed in intrepid, but not hardy, what do you mark it as?  Fix released?  Fix commited?  of just leave it as confirmed?07:29
persiadanbh_intrepid: Fix Released07:29
danbh_intrepidmk, thanks07:29
fabrice_sppersia: ok07:30

ubottuLaunchpad bug 220717 in rungetty "segfault on startup" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22071717:36
joumetalIt's fixed in Debian.17:36
james_wjoumetal: hi, yes it is, it's a bit difficult though18:00
james_wjoumetal: it's not clear what the fix is, so it's hard to fix just that18:01
james_wjoumetal: we could take the whole update, but as it will be rebuilt there is no guarantee that it will be fixed18:01
joumetaljames_w: fortunately debian changelog is not massive.18:02
james_wyes, but it's still not a targetted fix18:02
joumetalI understand. thanks.18:07
james_wI'm trying to find a release team member to consult, but there don't seem to be any around at this moment18:07
