asaccrimsun: so you have any instructions what I should ask when I get bugs like: bug 27934613:36
asacin intrepid?13:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 279346 in flashplugin-nonfree "no sound in youtube in intrepid" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27934613:36
asace.g. what debugging informationn do you want to get collected up front?13:36
asaci regular see such bugs, but have no idea what to ask for :)13:37
ftahi14:24
asachi fta14:27
asaci made the 17k ;)14:27
asacbug karma14:27

sebnerasac: installing lame hardy version also didn't fix it :\ , but /me already prepared a SRU for another package today ^^14:36

ftacrimsun, sound is broken once again in ff3.1, i get 1 sec of sound then silence, yet the video continues17:06

ftaasac, my total is still below 17k :P17:12
asacfta: yeah. but srsly i did about 40h bug triaging in the last 58h or so ;)17:16
asacand probably gained at max 1k for that really heroish work17:17
asacif not only 600K17:17
asacerr 60017:17
ftacomplain to lp guys17:17
ftamy definition of karma is different from theirs17:17
ftaa karma should not decrease after 6 months if you continue to work at the same pace17:18
ftabasically, our drops are the reflection of our past activities, this is non sense17:19
asacyeah. ... its more like a trailing average17:20
ftakarma should only decrease if you're doing nothing, not if you worked harder in the past17:20
asacwelll ... you could have a long term average (which probably is more what you have now)17:21
asacand a "current" pace indicator17:21
asacthe current approach is about "defeating" karma you earned in the past and if you are brave even building on top17:22
ftawell, today, if you earn 10 points for something, in 6 months from now, it will be divided by 10, then expire17:22
asacfta: well but think that you do a bunch of work 6 month ago ... and then you only do a bit work17:23
asackarma should then decrease right?17:23
asacif you never decrease as long as some work is happening you can easily keep your karma and rest forever ;)17:24
ftayes but not proportionally to what you've gained17:24
asacyeah. its difficult ;)17:24
ftado a wonderful job for zillions of stuff, then stop for a year, you're back to zero, same as someone doing nothing17:25
asacyeah17:26
ftayet, i feel your karma should be higher17:26
asaci think it shouldnt be that bad17:26
asaci mean ... the decreaes should be slower than the increase17:26
asacbut i think that was in the past17:26
ftaindeed17:26
asacand people like seb and pitti had karma more than a million17:27
asacwhich was perceived as demotivating for people that cannot spend that much time17:27
ftatrue17:27
asacso current approach gives more incentive to short term contributors17:27
asacthan long term17:27
asace.g. if you start it goes up quick17:27
asacafterwards it fighting against decay ;)17:27
Nafalloasac: the main Swedish translator was number one, since all his work got committed via tarballs ;-)17:29
asacheh17:32
asacbut i think that rosetta isnt that fruitful anymore17:32
sebnerasac: ripping is working again (you have to activate "Create Wave Header" in the config. but the result is only noise :(17:32
asacgood17:33
asacmost likely a compression thing then17:33
sebnerasac: apachelogger told me that something inside k3b responsible for that is pretty b0rken ^^  damn :(17:33
asack17:37
asacfta: is tbird 3 from your archive usable for reading imap stuff?17:46
asacdamn ... archive.u.c is still completely utilized17:47
asachmm 70k now17:47
asacthats more or less ok17:47
Nafalloreally? :-P17:47
asacat least to not fall asleep before it finishes ;)17:47
asacNafallo: well better than the 980B/s i had in the beginning17:48
NafalloI got like my 4Mbps before...17:48
asachmm17:48
ftaasac, try it17:48
asacNafallo: so you say its on my side or you are directly in the center?17:48
asacfta: Need to get 12.1MB of archives.17:49
asacAfter this operation, 36.9MB of additional disk space will be used.17:49
asacWARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! thunderbird-3.017:49

asacbut i think i found a new provider that provides cable stuff here17:49
Nafallo9 hops to the archive.... SRSLY!17:50
asacwell it wasnt possible before in my particular hous ;)17:50
ftastill slow for me too Fetched 17.8MB in 35s (506kB/s)17:50
asacfta: well 500K is still ok17:50
* Nafallo turns on name resolution17:50
asaci usually have ~1000K17:50
Nafallobaah. Level3. ✁☹17:50
asacfta: does tbird 3 do the same profile wisdom we do for other previews?17:50
asacor should i backup my profile?17:51
Nafallolol. drescher :-)17:51
ftait's a clone17:51
Nafallonice17:51
asacfta: well. so it creates a copy?17:51
ftayes17:51
asacok ... just starting then17:51
asac"Starting Schredder"17:51
ftadamn, i broke xul17:52
asacfta: what can i do with the tab?17:53
ftaopen more ? :)17:54
ftawhy is my prerm thing not ok...17:55
asacfta: how to open more tabs?17:58
asacok cool17:59
asaci think i can use shredder for bug stuff now17:59
asaconly feature i am missing is to show a full threawd inline17:59
asace.g. click on one threawd element and get all messages displayed in message view17:59
ftayep18:00
ftais prerm called after install ??18:00
asacfta: which prerm?18:01
ftagenerally speaking18:01
asaci think in some situation prerm is called18:01
asaclet me think ;)18:01
ftai thought prem was called against the old version during upgrades, before new files are installed18:02
asacfta: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html 6.518:02
asacin general yes. but in error cases this can become tricky i think18:03
asace.g. see 6.618:03
asaci think prerm is unlikely to be called after install18:03
ftathen there's a bug18:04
asacif you have a simple test case let me know ;)18:04
ftaxulrunner-1.9.1.prerm:18:04
ftaif [ "$1" = "remove" ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ]; then18:04
fta        rm -f /etc/gre.d/1.9.1b2pre.system.conf18:04
ftafi18:04
asacfta: we shouldnt do that18:05
asacwe should use the configure status18:05
ftai upgrade a b2pre to another b2pre, the file is gone18:05
asacand only remove those that are obsolete and dont have a md5sum mismatch18:05
asacfta: well if you remove it that way, dpkg will think the user removed it18:05
asacand will hold back the "new" file18:05
ftaoh18:05
asacfta: look at dpkg --status xulrunner-1.9.118:06
asacthe conffile should be modified by user there18:06
asacfta: i think what we have to do is in postinst18:07
asacand there we have to check the status and remove all Obsolete configs18:07
asacthat are not modified18:07
asaceverything else will be handled by dpkg18:07
ftacurrently, it's not; i have zillions of files in /etc/gre.d/18:08
asacfta: there is a good wiki page in debian on that18:08
asacfta: yes i know18:08
asacthats on my list18:08
asacif you want to fix it, parse the status and check md5sums in postinst for Obsolete config files18:08
asacand remove them if they are not modified18:08
asacjames_w: where is that debian wiki page for config file handling in maintainer script again?18:10
asacjames_w: nevermind have it18:10
asacfta: http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling18:10
asacthats the basic approach18:10
ftaok, i'll have a look18:10
asacwhat we should do is always check all xulrunner-1.9.1 and xulrunner-1.9 conffiles that way18:10
asacand remove them with that pattern18:10
asacfta: e.g. copy rm_conffile from there18:10
asacand use that18:10
asacfta: cool.18:12
asacfta: we also want those on the 1.9 branches18:12
asacin case you are at it ;)18:12
asacbut probably not in stable branches18:12
asacotoh ;)18:12
asacfta: you think its impossible to build dom-inspector for tbird?18:20
asaci mean as a -dom-inspector package?18:20
asaci think i dumped that at some point during 2.018:20
asacas it was broken since late 1.518:20
asacbut now that i use shredder for bugs i would like to add some features and DOM inspector would help ;)18:21
ftathe xul one should work18:21
asachmm18:21
ftaproviding maxversion is fine18:21
asacfta: do we ship that with targetapplication toolkit@mozilla.org?18:21
asacfta: we should fix that. instead of adding all the targetapps just add that18:21
ftaoh, i didn't add the xuladdon path18:22
ftalet me fix xul 1st18:23
asacfta: ok works fine18:23
asacfta: while you are at it :) ... replace the ffox targetapplication with toolkit@mozilla.org and min 1.9.1a1 and max 1.9.1.*18:23
asacor18:23
asac1.9.1.0a1 ... not sure18:24
asacfta: until we use system xul we could then ship a tbird-dom-inspector package that just adds a link18:24
asacfta: do we have thunderbird-addons too?18:25
asacfta: hmm. we should do that at least i guess18:25
asacfta: hmm gnome-support isnt working?18:29
asacit doesnt honour my gnome preferred browser18:29
asacok installing it would help ;)(18:29
asachmm still doesnt work18:30
ftawhat is $LASTVERSION in http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling ?18:30
asacfta: /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.3/components/libnkgnomevfs.so18:31
asacthat is missing in tbird gnome support18:31
asacfta: for our case LASTVERSION doesnt matter ... does it?18:31
asacfta: thats only an example ... usually you do this migration stuff only once18:32
asace.g. when you upgrade from something lower or equal the last version18:32
asacbutin our case we want to remove all obsolete configs all the time18:32
asacif they dont have md5sum mismatch of course18:32
asacfta: so just dont if dpkg ---compare-version18:32
asacfta: hmm18:33
asacfta: now that i look ... its a bit different for us18:33
ftayep18:33
asacfta:  i think you will figure. we want to remove all obsolet that are not modified18:33
asacshoudl be simple ;)18:33
asacdpkg-query is a good start i guess18:33
crimsunasac: RE bug 279346, ask that the reporter does not have an ~/.asoundrc, that the reporter has libasound2-plugins installed.  It /can/ be a pulseaudio issue; please ask the reporter to try the pulseaudio deb in my PPA.  [If it in turn is a pa issue, then it's better in luke's 0.9.13 PPA debs.]18:34

asaccrimsun: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/FlashAnswers18:39
asac ;)18:39
crimsun:-)18:39
asaccrimsun: anything the people should add? e.g. like sound card or so?18:39
crimsunasac: I don't think so18:40
asaccrimsun: so what should happen i nwhat case? if your packages fix it -> alsa-plugins bug?18:40
asacif themuso fixes it -> pulseaudio18:41
asacif 1. or 2 -> invalid ;)18:41
crimsunasac: well, it's always tied to pulseaudio somehow.  intrepid's pa has stability problems (known); luke's PPA debs resolve many of those crashers.  sometimes reporters have stale ~/.asoundrc*, which mucks up things.18:42
asacfta: we have official branding in desktop menu, but the ugly letter as window icon ...is that a bug in packaging (e.g. gnome official icon) or in tbird?18:42
ftai don't remember, i'll check. i'm multi-tasking by 4 right now :S18:45
asaccrimsun: ok i will do the first round then only i gues ... just wanted to do something instead of just reassigning somewhere ;)18:45
asacfta: thats good ... multi stuff keeps you younger than felt ;)18:45
ftadamn, the file is now removed for good19:04
asacfta: i need gnome support quick ;)19:09
