Jazzvaasac, now I have a question - we don't make a difference for "Get Ubuntu extensions" between abrowser and firefox, right?00:00
Jazzvaso we can use one MimeType for both in app-install-data...00:00
asacJazzva: how would we do that?00:00
asacJazzva: dont we use the appid for the "mime" typ?00:00
JazzvaI don't see a way, nor a reason to do that... but just to be sure :)00:00
asacJazzva: what mimetype are we using right now?00:01
Jazzvaapplication/x-debuan-xul-extension-firefox, I think00:01
Jazzvas/debuan/debian00:01
asacJazzva: what did we use for firefox-3?00:01
Jazzvathat one00:01
asacor is that the firefox 2 thing?00:01
Jazzvawe just used -firefox-2 for FF200:01
asacerr sorry. i ment 2 and 3 flipped ;)00:01
asacok thanks00:01
asacis that gone now?00:02
Jazzvano problem :)00:02
Jazzvayep00:02
JazzvaI removed every instance of -firefox-2 in MimeType line in files00:02
Jazzvaif a file only had that one MimeType associated with it, I removed the file. there was two of them00:02
asacactually i now have the feeling that we might have missed the train for the data00:02
Jazzvafirefox-themes-ubuntu and some other...00:02
asacand need to do a SRU or something00:02
asacbut lets try anyway00:02
Jazzvawell, it is in main...00:03
Jazzvaok, should I propose a merge to ~ubuntu-core-dev's branch?00:03
asacJazzva: better file a bug and let me talk to mvo tomorrow ;)00:04
Jazzvaok00:04
asaci think if branches are old you ar enot getting mails on merge proposal by default00:04
Jazzvaah... ok00:09

gnomefreakasac: have you heard from Fallen yet?12:28
asacgnomefreak: something reminds me of that word. but not more ;)12:29
gnomefreakasac: sunbird failure to run12:29
asachaha12:30
gnomefreakasac: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/558964  is what i get when i try to load it12:30
gnomefreakits getting on my frigging nerves nothing i do and/or looked for helps12:30
asacstran ge12:31
gnomefreaki know12:31
asacgnomefreak: does the upstream build work? have you tried that?12:31
gnomefreakit works12:31
gnomefreakwell the .xpi does12:31
gnomefreaki tried building upstream source while giving ./configure parameters12:32
asacgnomefreak: yeah12:32
gnomefreakand it fails so maybe i didnt pass one that i should have12:32
asacgnomefreak: so did you manage that the .xpi is produced?12:32
gnomefreaknoth sure where to look for it12:33
asacgnomefreak: in dist/xpi-stage or something like that12:34
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
gnomefreaki dont see .xpi in build-area anywhere12:42
asacgnomefreak: so what did you add to configure?12:45
gnomefreakjust building upstream source using ./configure i used12:47
gnomefreak./configure --enable-application=ac_add_options --enable-application=calendar12:47
gnomefreaki just wanted to test to see if it was tarball12:48
thunderstruckFUCK THIS im gonna work on my connection12:59
asacgnthat application= thing is wrong for sure13:30
asacwhy ac_add_options?13:30
gnomefreakagain :(14:06
gnomefreakoh good im still here14:06
gnomefreakasac: any idea on that error? it seems simple timezone error but everything looks normal to me atleast, in upstream build i looked in the Makefile and install.* and it looks correct. maybe i should try a clean brand new chroot to build it14:08
gnomefreakeh building it anyway it cant hurt to try14:11
shirishhi asac, I'm back but would be online for doing the documentation in about 40 odd minutes ok.14:11
asacshirish: ok cool14:22
gnomefreakshirish: if i had to guess hes at lunch14:24
gnomefreakoops hes back14:24
* gnomefreak doubts this is gonna help14:27
asacgnomefreak: i dont think you changed any conifgure option ... do you?14:30
gnomefreakwhat the hell do i need x11-common in a chroot :(14:30
suzheasac: Just want to tell you that, I fixed the libmozjs link issue by shipping a static libmozjs in my project.14:30
gnomefreakasac: no14:30
asacsuzhe: urgh14:30
gnomefreakasac: the rules file is same as in 0.814:30
asacgnomefreak: yes. did you ever find the .xpi? otherwise it would help. yes14:31
gnomefreakasac: nope its not on my system14:31
gnomefreakatleast using locate and find14:31
asacgnomefreak: do we have the sources at least?14:31
asacare you able to identify them?14:32
gnomefreakasac: what do you mean?14:32
gnomefreaki have upstream source and our source14:32
asacgnomefreak: the source files that are supposed to produce that14:32
gnomefreakyes i think the Makefile and the install.rdf14:33
gnomefreakin timezone dir atleast14:33
asacgnomefreak: i mean if upstream doesnt ship it by default, but you have to install a .xpi it means that its most likely not biult by default14:33
gnomefreakasac: they ship it14:33
gnomefreakit should be built from Makefile14:34
asacgnomefreak: i dont see where that is hooked in14:35
suzheasac: for the browser component, I wrote a simple glue layer for libmozjs based on xpcomglue.14:35
asacgnomefreak: does calendar/timezones/Makefile exist in your finished built tree?14:35
asacsuzhe: couldnt you use something similar for the "normal" thing?14:36
suzheasac: now, my project doesn't need link to libmozjs.so anymore :-)14:36
asace.g. something that loads libmozjs.so from what is configured in /etc/gre.d/*.conf?14:36
suzheasac: you may close bug #286906, thanks for your help.14:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 286906 in xulrunner-1.9 "Unable to use libmozjs.so in an application, because of library path problem." [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28690614:36
asacsuzhe: well. static linkage will prevent you from getting in any distro14:36
asacsuzhe: cant be the real solution14:36
gnomefreakasac: give me a minute to get it and find it14:36
suzheasac: however, seems that it's the only solution for now. mozilla guys also suggest this solution.14:40
asacsuzhe: yeah. a solution that makes your software undistributable (or better said: unsupportable). this should really be fixed upstream14:41
suzheasac: why it makes my software undistributable?14:42
asacand if the few folks that have a use of the javascript engine just say "ok, i do that" it will never be fixed14:42
suzheasac: I don't think it's a big deal.14:42
asacsuzhe: shipping or linking against static libs is a no-no14:42
asacbecause no security support is really possible14:43
asacand every sane distribution will not allow such software to be shipped14:43
suzheasac: I think mozilla guys are going to fix this issue, but it needs time.14:43
asacsuzhe: yeah. as a temporary workaround its ok for you14:43
asacsuzhe: all i am trying to say: "now that they noticed and that some folks are willing to change things you have to reemphasize your point"14:43
asacover and over again14:43
asacotherwise i am nearly 100% that nothing will change14:44
gnomefreaki cant remember where i found it :(14:44
asacthe few folks that want to change something in mozilla will be overruled14:44
peciskasac: hi, question was - when current translations from Firefox CVS will get imported into language packages/Launchpad?14:44
asacsuzhe: ^^14:44
suzheasac: Hmm, it'll be bad if it makes my software undistributable.14:44
asacsuzhe: right. you have to tell that the spidermonkey developers over and over again14:45
asacsuzhe: and open bugs in bugzilla and so on14:45
suzheasac: so, how can I get a perfect solution for now? :-(14:46
asacsuzhe: for now its not possible as i said. because of definiciency in spidermonkey practices and policies14:46
suzheasac: I'll, but what shall I do for now?14:46
suzheasac: actually there is an open bug in mozilla's bugzilla. And it's opened for more than 7 years :-( Fortunately, they are still working on it.14:46
shirishasac: hi14:46
asacsuzhe: for now you are more or less lost. only whay i can see is that you move your code interfaceing with that lib to something dynamically loaded14:47
asacsuzhe: and use the /etc/gre.d/*.conf file to find the lib14:47
asacpecisk: on demand14:48
asacpecisk: its easier to go directly to your issue ;) ... what issues are you seeing that make you think you want to know about that?14:48
asacsuzhe: why do you think they are still working on it?14:49
asacsuzhe: i havent heard anything from  mozilla that would make me think that they consider their spidermonkey engine something worth to put effort into making a proper lib out of it14:49
asac(except yesterday where the spidermonkey dev acked that this is an issue - but he didnt appear like he was actually aware of this)14:50
suzheasac: the problem is, it requires a glue layer, which is not practical for my script module.14:50
asacsuzhe: what is a script module?14:50
asacsuzhe: what kind of script are you talking about?14:50
suzheasac: from comments of the bug report.14:50
gnomefreakasac: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/559033 around line 62 and http://pastebin.mozilla.org/559034 around line 4414:51
asacsuzhe: i wouldnt defer from comments on bug that they are really working on this :(14:51
suzheasac: the most recent comment was just a few days ago.14:51
gnomefreaklet me change the Makefile line number14:51
suzheasac: script module is a dynamic loadable module of my project, which depends on libmozjs.so.14:51
gnomefreakasac: makefile around line 7514:51
asacsuzhe: the right way is to make your project load the gecko runtime through standalone glue on startup14:52
asacsuzhe: (before you load your dynamic module)14:52
asacsuzhe: and link your module against the dependent glue14:52
suzheasac: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9795414:52
peciskasac: simply we got FF 3 translated via official source, and we would like to see that result also in Ibex14:52
asacmight be overkill to boot the complete gre ... but thats the only way to get that i thikn14:52
peciskasac: so I looking for ways to get that translation into Launchpad and Ubuntu 8.1014:53
asacpecisk: how is "you" ?14:53
suzheasac: this module only depends on libmozjs.so, nothing else in xulrunner.14:53
asacpecisk: which language?14:53
peciskasac: Latvian aka lv14:53
ubottuMozilla bug 97954 in JavaScript Engine "autoconf build environment for spidermonkey" [Enhancement,Assigned]14:53
asacpecisk: you should file a bug about your locale in launchpad against rosetta project and subscribe me explicitly14:53
asacpecisk: also subscribe ArneGoetje14:53
asacpecisk: who should now deal with this14:53
shirishasac: please lemme know when you are ready to talk about documentation14:54
asacpecisk: or maybe file against language_-pack-lv14:54
suzheasac: loading the whole xpcom is overhead for this module.14:54
asacsuzhe: it is, but its the only way14:54
peciskasac: what I should attach to that bug?14:54
asacuntil spidermonkey folks have sorted this14:55
peciskasac: translation in which format - po or xpi?14:55
asacpecisk: nothing. a link to thhe official xpi maybe14:55
asacpecisk: just file a bug "please import latest firefox upstream translations"14:56
asacand subscribe me and arnegoetje14:56
peciskok, thanks!14:56
pecisk:)14:56
asacpecisk: and point to the directory with all the latest xpis ... or laternatively name the version you want to be imported14:56
asacpecisk: also state if this is just for intrepid or also hardy14:56
asaci guess both14:57
peciskok, huuuuuuuuuuuuge thanks14:58
asacsuzhe: loading the gre would also allow you to specify the max/min version .... which overcomes the deficiencies of a not existing library versioning14:58
suzheasac: I'll have a try. thanks for your suggestion.14:59
asacsuzhe: welcome. just load the gre in your main binary and link your dynamic module against the dependent glue. if thats work its the most feasible workaround i can see now15:03
suzheasac: however, I want to support as many distros as possible. There are still many widely used distros have no xulrunner 1.915:04
asacok off for NM testing15:04
suzheasac: supporting old xulrunner without xpcomglue and xulrunner 1.9 with the same set of code would be difficult.15:05
suzheasac: thanks, I'll have a try.15:06
shirishasac: did you happen to look at the stuff I did on nm 0.7? Is it ok? Is it faulty or incorrect so far?15:07
asacshirish: its ok i think15:12
asacshirish: what its really missing (besides some polishing in workding) is a quick intro15:12
asacall that is documented is usually not needed15:12
shirishright15:12
asacnormal users just want to know "how to select a wireless ESSID"15:13
asachow to disable wireless15:13
shirishright, and that is a configuration that I do not have, no wireless :(15:13
shirishbtw have you come across this error15:13
shirishUpdating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only)..15:13
asacshirish: maybe you could ask someone else from the doc team?15:14
asacthats a read-only connection (its auto)15:14
asacyou can only edit it when you rename15:14
shirishasac: you mean about doing the wireless part, sure15:14
asacwe should add that to troubleshooting15:14
asacshirish: its because you have a config in interfaces file15:14
asacthat config is read only15:14
shirishasac:  lol, that config didn't work (unfortunately)15:15
asacnot really the best way to indicate that i nthe applet ... but we have a bug about fixing htis15:15
gnomefreakill be back need to restart15:15
shirishasac: sure15:15
asacshirish: dont know why your config doesnt work. you should certainly open a new bug and dont post more in the dead horse bug you are using right now ;)15:16
asacshirish: open bug ... attach complete syslog after reproducing ... as always15:16
shirishsure, will do15:16
shirishasac: what is system setting?15:17
asacshirish: ?15:18
peciskasac: can I copy/paste our irc conversation to ubuntu-translators list? Several other teams have similar problems as well.15:19
peciskt.i. other translation teams15:19
asacpecisk: no. they should talk to me after release15:19
asaci have no time ... or next week15:19
peciskok15:19
asacpecisk: you file that bug now15:19
shirishasac: nm-applet > Edit Connections > Wired > some connection > Edit > two checkboxes Connect automatically and System Settings15:19
asacpecisk: thats all we need dont we?15:20
shirishasac: what does that system settings stand for?15:20
asacpecisk: i mean what other issues will other translators have?15:20
asacshirish: settings that apply before you log in15:20
asacshirish: previously connections were configured on a user-profile base15:20
asacsince 0.7 you can also configure them system wide15:20
asacso they get upped without you being logged in15:20
peciskasac: no, the same issue - no proper workflow to get FF translation into Launchpad/Ubuntu system15:21
shirishasac: right, I read it somewhere that previously they were done using gconf profiles or something15:21
peciskasac: I will report it right away15:21
asacpecisk: file bugs15:21
asacpecisk: assign arnegoetje15:21
shirishasac: right, ok cool.15:21
asacpecisk: if he doesnt react for a while ping me15:21
asacso i can kick him ;)15:21
peciskplease don't hurt him :)15:21
peciskok15:21
asacyeah ... through IRC ;)15:21
* asac kicks hard ;)15:22
* asac never hits anyone :(15:22
asacpecisk: he will response i am sure ;)15:22
asacshirish: you can still do it as before ... its just that on top you can now have system connections15:22
shirishasac: so it was not easily possible before?15:24
asacshirish: it wasnt possible at all15:24
shirishasac: ah ok, cool.15:24
asacshirish: the only way was to use ifupdown in /etc/network/interfaces15:24
asacwhich is why we have all this mess now15:24
asacwith all the people thinking that they used NM in th past but they never used it15:25
asacifupdown was definitly one of the less reasonable inventions from debian15:25
shirishasac: count me in that one as well.15:25
asacit was done without thinking about the future ;)15:25
shirishasac: right, I heard its still to be released, its fedora's project isn't it?15:26
asacone hammer ... for everything15:26
shirishasac: right15:26
asacshirish: ifupdown? thats debian only15:26
asacthats why we have all this pain that fedora doesnt have15:26
shirishasac: I don't have much of a clue of what ifupdown actually does and how it integrates or works with Network-Manager15:27
asacshirish: it doesnt integrate with everything15:27
asacshirish: it provides the ifup ifdown commands15:27
asacshirish: and parses /e/n/interfaces for that15:27
asacshirish: we try to use a plugin that allows users to reus theri old configs15:27
asacfrom interfaces15:28
asacwhich is called "ifupdown" and which makes those Ifupdown (eth0) entries appear15:28

gnomefreakendif16:11
gnomefreakthat part?16:11
gnomefreakwait that would mean l10n might be the issue than?16:11
asacgnomefreak: yes. from that code it seems that timzones are only built when you build a build without specific locale16:12
asacask in #calendar on how to achieve that16:12
asacgnomefreak: maybe look in the build log16:13
asacand see if you can find AB_CD= somewhere16:13
asacif thats non-zero it _might_ be the reason16:14
gnomefreakit doesnt have one :(16:15
gnomefreakbuild log that is16:15

gnomefreakfor some reason bzr-buildeb doesnt leave mozilla dir intact16:16
asacgnomefreak: you have to do --dont-purge16:17
gnomefreaki did16:17
asacgnomefreak: no build dir would be your build log16:17
asacgnomefreak: e.g. backlog in terminal or pipe the output in a file16:17
asaclike bzr bd --merge --dont-purge --builder='debuild -b' 2>&1 | tee /tmp/build.log.txt16:17

gnomefreakthats from build log16:25
asacgnomefreak: yeah16:25
asacthere you have your xpi16:25
asacso whats the problem?16:25
asaclook how we deal with the lightning.xpi in rules16:25
gnomefreakif its there than why the hell doesnt sunbird run16:26
* gnomefreak can care less about lightning (fix one the other should get fixed i would think16:26
asacgnomefreak: because its not installed16:26
asacgnomefreak: we ignore that when packaging up but we should deal with it16:26
asacin a similar fashion as we deal with lightning.xpi16:27
gnomefreakno issue in 0.8 but issue in 0.9 is our fault?16:27
asacyes16:27
asacwell16:28
asacwe dont pack the timezones in a package16:28
asacthats our fault16:28
asacwhether sunbird should refuse to start without that is a different question16:28
gnomefreakit starts with error and stays open you just cant do anything with it except close it16:29
gnomefreakim not sure why its dependant on tz shit at all16:29
asacgnomefreak: yeah16:29
asacgnomefreak: lets tackle the missing timezones first16:29
asacgnomefreak: common-install-arch::16:29
asacin rules16:29
asacwe should do something similar for the timezhones xpi16:29
asacwe have to think about where to put that though16:30
gnomefreakany place i should put it or anywhere ;)16:30
asacmost likely in /usr/lib/lightning-sunbird-addons/extensions/16:30

asaclets look what we can do for lightning after that16:31
gnomefreakcommon-install-arch:: wher ein rules do i stick this?16:31
gnomefreakanywhere?16:31
asacgnomefreak: i will now run a few errands. please push your branch in the meantime so we can fix that tonoight16:31
asacgnomefreak: there is such a rule16:31
asacgnomefreak: look at that16:31
gnomefreakasac: its been pushed16:31
asacgnomefreak: look into rule ... there is common-install-arch already16:32
asacand we do something with lightnin g.xpi there16:32
gnomefreakbzr branch lp:~gnomefreak/sunbird/ubuntu-0.x16:32
asacwe shoiuld do the same for the timezones xpi16:32
asacok will look when back16:32

Jazzvaasac, ping18:42
shirishasac: back19:14
asacshirish: Jazzva: pong pong19:17
Jazzvaasac, https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jazzva/app-install-data-ubuntu/ubuntu.mozilla-extensions ... That error is there since last night.19:19
JazzvaThe local log (bzr log) looks good, and I pushed the changes.19:19
JazzvaIf I do bzr push again, it reports there are no new changes. Should I try with --overwrite? Is there some other parameter?19:19
asacshirish: where would the nm page be linked from on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/index.html19:20
asac?19:20
asacJazzva: dump it and push again ;)19:20
asacoruse a different name :)19:21
Jazzvaasac, how to dump it?19:21
asacJazzva: delete?19:21
Jazzvaoh... to dump the whole branch?19:21
Jazzvaok :)19:21
Jazzvathanks19:21
asacJazzva: why not. its only for this change right?19:21
asacand its a "personal" branch ... so wiping it is fine19:21
fabrice_spJazzva: Hi :-) Is the Bug #285321 ok after my last modifications?19:22

Jazzvai guess... I'll give you the bug link once I'm done...19:22
Jazzvafabrice_sp, I was sure I replied to that bug report that I made a mistake... the diff that I commented on is fine :)...19:23
Jazzvafabrice_sp, sorry for the mess...19:23
Jazzvafabrice_sp, yeah... I replied to RainCT and not to the bug report by mistake... I'll repost my comment.19:24
fabrice_spJazzva: thanks :-)19:24
Jazzvafabrice_sp, done.19:24
Jazzvanp... sorry again19:24
shirishasac: yes, that would be nice19:28
asacshirish: i dont see anything for 8.10 there19:30
asacjust 8.0419:30
shirishasac: right, there should have been, but unfortunately is not there, that's what I was sharing on the mail the other night. Its so much outdated.19:31
asacshirish: hmm. but didnt someone else respond that he did this kind of general networking page for intrepid now=?19:33
asacshirish: otherwise i would suggest to reuse that. most things are ok ;)19:33
asacand use the networkmanager page for "detailed" information19:33
asacwhile giving the simple instructions for "normal" use in the greater document19:34
shirishasac: yes somebody did19:34
shirishasac: btw have put up that bug (which might well not be ) at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/28759619:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 287596 in network-manager "cannot get connectivity using /etc/network/interfaces" [Undecided,New]19:34
shirishI am bad at describing stuff.19:35
shirish:(19:35
asacat least i am not alone then ;)19:35
asacshirish: from syslog: "Oct 22 20:03:05 Mugglewille-desktop nm-system-settings:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: No dns-nameserver configured in /etc/network/interfaces19:37
asac"19:37
asacshirish: i think its dns-nameservers19:38
asacif dns-nameserver is supported by resolvconf too then thats a bug19:38
shirishasac: thought the same, so it should be "dns-nameservers" and not "dns-nameserver"  am I right in reading that?19:40
asacshirish: according to man resolvconf only dns-nameservers is supported19:40
shirishah ok19:40
asacyes19:40
shirisha single 's'19:40
asacshirish: just change that and sudo killall nm-system-settings to reload the config19:41
shirishasac: right will try that, bbiaw19:42
shirishasac: that one didn't work as well :(19:45
shirishlemme try once more, bbiam or two :)19:49
shirishstill no show, I've just given up on things19:56
shirishmy thing for static IP is that its supposed to be better for doing things such as file-sharing (think torrenting)19:57
asacshirish: well. this cant be really true ;)19:58
asacshirish: what is in your applet now?19:58
shirishasac: I have changed it all back to auto eth1 now, otherwise just couldn't connect.19:59
asacshirish: thats ok. are you running managed=true or =false now?20:00
shirishasac: managed is always true20:00
asacshirish: ok so what do you see in applet now?20:00
shirishin both the situations20:00
shirishnow it shows fine.20:01
asacshirish: what is fine?20:01
shirishasac: meaning it doesn't show disconnected in the applet, that's it.20:01
asacshirish: is the static configuration properly used?20:01
asacshirish: is eth1 the right interface at all?20:01
asaceth0 seems more likely20:01
shirishasac: right, this is what it used to be previously, but somehow in the update/upgrade at some point they changed, dunno where or how or what20:02
shirishasac: eth0 used to be for Realtek and eth1 for Sis20:03
shirishasac: and now its reversed.20:03
asacok20:03
asacshirish: so. if you look at the applet and click on it ... you have a Ifupdown (eth1) connection active?20:04
shirishasac: not anymore20:04
asacshirish: shirish then what are you seeing now?20:04
shirishasac: auto eth0 and auto eth1 and both have never greyed in front of them20:05
asacsorry cant parse it20:05
shirishauto eth0                             never20:05
asacshirish: you are not in the applet drop down20:05
asacbut in the conneciton editor20:05
shirishauto eth1                           never20:05
shirishoops, ok now I know what u mean20:05
shirishasac: the button is on Auto eth120:06
asacshirish: do you see Ifupdown there?20:06
shirisheverything else is greyed20:06
shirishasac: negative there20:06
asacnegative ?20:06
asacyes or no ;)20:06
shirishasac: no ;)20:07
asacshirish: and nm-system-settings is running?20:07
asac(a process)20:07
asacshirish: is there a "unmanaged device" or something in the drop down?20:07
shirishasac: you want me to do a ps aux | grep nm-system-settings20:07
shirishasac: where should I be seeing this "unmanaged device"20:08
shirishasac: its now being managed by nm, I commented all the entries in /etc/network/interfaces except the loopback entries20:09
shirishasac: and then did the sudo killall nm-system-settings twice, it always needs twice to work.20:09
shirishasac: btw that nm-system-settings is working20:10
shirishroot     10663  0.0  0.2   6776  2972 ?        S    00:22   0:00 /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --config /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf20:10
asacshirish: ok. can you remove the tabs from your interfaces?20:11
asacbut enable the eth1 thing again?20:11
asacjust make them in the same lines20:11
asacerr colums :)20:11
shirishasac: this one went over me20:11
asace.g. not20:11
asaciface eth0 ....20:12
asac     netmask xxxxx20:12
asacbut20:12
asaciface eth020:12
asacnetmask xxxxx20:12
shirishah, you mean without the indentation20:12
shirishasac: but should it be eth0, shouldn't it be eth1 (what dmesg says my ethernet card is at)20:13
asacshirish: you have to think too, yes.20:13
asaceth1 yes20:13
asac:-P20:13
shirishasac: ok cool, doing the same.20:13
asacshirish: doing the same?20:14
shirishasac: you want all of them in the same way they are, but without any indentation, right20:14
shirishasac: ^^20:14
asacyes20:14
asacno indentation20:15
shirishasac: ok, then done20:15
asacthen restart everything20:15
asacand describe what you see in the applet dropdown20:15
shirishwithout closing down pidgin?20:15
asache?20:15
asacwhy?20:15
asacpidgin isnt important right now ;)20:16
armin76bumb!20:16
shirishok20:16
shirishnow I got it, it was not just being selected20:16
asacshirish: do you have any tabs or something between the words in the lines?20:16
shirishdumb, dumb20:16
asacshirish: well. if you have a auto eth1 line too20:17
shirishasac: no :)20:17
asacit should auto connect there20:17
shirishasac: right, but it doesn't it seems.20:17
asacshirish: so what are you seeing now?20:17
asaclets finish this now ... we have spend too much time to not go to the end from here ;)20:18
asaci mean: lets go on ;)20:18
asacshirish: so what are you seeing? ;)20:18
asacin the applet drop down20:18
shirishasac: it was first disconnected, then clicked on it, it showed button in neither20:18
shirishasac: then I clicked on ifupdown (eth1) to choose it20:19
asacshirish: sorry cant parse that ;) "showed button in neither" ... what is a button?20:19
asacshirish: ok. thats ok. can you please restart NM?20:19
asace.g. sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart20:19
asacand see if it auto connects?20:19
shirishasac: know it, lemme do it.20:19
asac(of course you need auto eth1 in intrerfaces)20:19
asacplease double check that20:19
asachmm long time off .... most likely not good ;)20:22
shirishasac: had to revert back to eth120:22
shirishasac: first thing, NM didn't auto connect20:22
shirishasac: then pidgin wouldn't connect20:23
asacshirish: well pidgin doesnt connect if NM doesnt that for sure20:23
asacshirish: had to revert back to eth1?20:23
asacwhat does that mean=?20:23
shirishasac: meaning now it says auto eth120:23
asacshirish: there is no Ifupdown anymore?20:23
shirishasac: meaning commented again everything in /etc/network/interfaces20:24
asacwhy?20:24
asacit worked if not having auto20:24
asacthat doesnt make sense ;)20:24
shirishasac: yup, that was before, ok hang on, lemme do it once more20:24
shirishasac: although that time we hadn't restarted NM20:24
shirishjust nm-system-settings20:24
asacshirish: well. that doesnt matter20:24
asacrestarting NM wsa just to test autoconnect20:25
asacok testing too20:26
shirishasac: back, tried again, didn't work, had to revert back to eth1, commenting everything except the loopback entries in /etc/network/interfaces20:29
shirishasac: can put this as well as the pidgin debug log if you want in the bug20:30
asacshirish: no pidgin doesnt matter at all20:30
shirishasac: ok cool.20:30
asacshirish: no clue then. at best go to managed=false20:30
shirishasac: basically wasn't able to ping anyone, tried pinging as well, got unknown host20:30
asacand remove everything from interfaces20:31
asacyou can still configure static IPs in NM20:31
asaci need to be able to reproduce it20:31
asacit does work here whatever i do20:31
shirishasac: understand that, absolutely20:31
shirishasac: any idea where or how the eth0 got renamed to eth1 and vice-versa, anyway that could be changed?20:32
shirishasac: this happened from hardy to Intrepid transition20:32
asacshirish: thats because of hal or udev or driver or kernel20:32
asacshirish: in fact thats why NM doesnt use eth1 and eth020:33
asacbecause its not a static name20:33
shirishasac: right20:33
asacanother reason why ifupdown as it is in ubuntu now isnt great ;)20:33
asacwell. its ok ... but not in this particular case ;)20:33
shirishasac: right20:33
asacshirish: you have to live with it or write some udev rule to rename stuff. but i cant help you on that ;)20:33
asacshirish: actually if you dont configure stuff in  interfaces it shouldnt affect you anymore20:34
asacNM handles it fine20:34
shirishasac: I will live with that, as it is I have taken quite a bit of your time.20:34
asacno problem20:34
asaci would have loved to see the reason whats going on20:34
shirishasac: welcome anytime you are in India :)20:34
asacbut from what i understand it works properly on your side, but its just that you dont know what to expect ;)20:34
asacas strange as it sounds :)20:35
shirishright20:35
shirishasac: the whole idea of the icon is that it reassures me that I'm connected20:35
asacshirish: well20:36
shirishasac: if I make it managed=false I lose the icon20:36
asacshirish: thats hard to guess in fact20:36
asacshirish: no you dont loose it20:36
asacshirish:  you just must not configure your stuff in interfaces then20:36
asacflip to managed=false now ... ensure that just lo is in interfaces and all should be fine for you20:36
shirishasac: right done that20:37
shirishok back online. would be adding today's experiments and learning in the bug as well.20:40
shirishasac: thank you for your time and effort.20:40
shirishasac: one last thing, you didn't tell when you see this ifupdown mess being solved?20:42
asacshirish: i dont know. first i have to understand what the problems are20:43
asacshirish: i understood that you are mainly confused when NM icon shows offline20:44
shirishasac: right, can you give me some link/s to read about ifupdown20:44
asacbut you are in fact online20:44
shirishasac: how is that possible?20:44
asacshirish: the applet isnt god :)20:44
asacnor is NM20:45
shirishasac: when i'm not able to ping anyone or even not ping 192.168.1.1 it means not connected20:45
asacthe current hack makes NM send out "CONNECTED" when it sees an unmanaged device20:45
asacso apps should do it properly20:45
asacbut applet guesses state from what it sees on individual devices20:45
asacshirish: yes. thats true20:45
asacshirish: but thats the dns issue20:45
asacwhich you mix up20:45
shirishasac: ah, that's something different20:46
asacfirst you were disconnected for real20:46
asacthen you believed what applet showed you20:46
asacactually:20:46
shirishasac: one sec, one sec, my router is not disconnected, its the connection between the computer and the router20:46
asac1st. confused -> set to managed=true20:46
asac2nd. no dns-nameserver entry -> NM wipes resolv.conf20:46
asac3rd. setup iface again -> still no dns server because resolv.conf was wiped -> really offline20:47
asaci only talk about your computer yes.20:47
asacnothing above is about your router20:47
shirishasac: ok cool, pleae go on20:47
shirishplease20:47
asac4th. confused -> trying various things in resolv.conf not looking in the applet at all -> confused -> no connection attempt made20:48
asac5th. not sure what next ;)20:48
shirishasac: never touched anything in resolv.conf20:48
asacwell ... now you are connected20:48
asacshirish: i didnt say that either :)20:48
shirishasac: yup and that's what counts20:48
shirishasac: btw just one of the random things why having static matters http://www.driverheaven.net/motherboards-networking-misc-forum/150381-dhcp-lease-time-question.html20:49
asacshirish: you _CAN_ do static in NM20:50
asacshirish: you should know that when documenting the ip4settings tab in connection editor20:50
shirishasac: that's why left till there, because I know what used to be, now don't know how things work anymore.20:51
shirishasac: sorry.20:51
shirishasac: for me to do that, I need to have done that20:53
shirishasac: had a break (sort of), renamed and added static settings for the connection20:58
asacshirish: yeah.20:58
asacshirish: if you want that that connection gets auto started even without logging in you have to make a "system setting" out of it20:59
shirishasac: did it, clicked on "system settings" and did it.21:00
asacyeah21:00
shirishasac: so now know what to document in the ipv4 settings, the only thing unknown there is the routes thing, but that perhaps would be something to tackle later.21:01
asacshirish: have you been asked for password?21:01
asacshirish: thats clearly "advanced"21:01
shirishasac: nope, didn't ask for password21:01
asacshirish: its enough to say: if you have a sophisticated setup you might want to manually setup your routes... to do that open this and that;)21:01
shirishasac: I have read bug-reports which tell that it doesn't ask for administrator password.21:01
asacshirish: you should check whether your connection is really still there and really still a system setting after reboot21:02
shirishasac: can do that now, if you hang around, can let you know as well.21:02
asacshirish: usually it should add. but it also might be that you have said "remember password" once21:02
asaci have to restart anyway ;)21:03
shirishasac: "remember password" where in Network-manager ?21:03
shirishasac: hang on21:03
shirishasac: my router does all authentication for my ISP21:03
shirishasac: as far as sudo authentication, that's manual everywhere.21:03
shirishasac: that's about it from my side, see you in a while.21:04
shirishasac: lemme know when you are back21:13
shirishasac: now I have option between shirish and auto eth1 on my network-manager21:14
shirishthat I guess is enough for the day, another day :)21:16
