| mdke | Rocket2DMn: I can't figure out that bug you are experiencing. I guess you are missing the symbolic link at /usr/share/gnome/help/libs? | 15:44 |
|---|---|---|
| Rocket2DMn | hey mdke | 15:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | i just ran across the bug report when i was triaging yesterday, and i was able to reproduce it | 15:46 |
| * mdke nods | 15:46 | |
| Rocket2DMn | i didnt try to read very much into the output, let me have a look at the attachments i uploaded | 15:47 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: I've asked for the output of a couple more commands, if you have time | 15:47 |
| Rocket2DMn | sure let me wake up the laptop | 15:48 |
| Rocket2DMn | heh yeah that directory is empty | 15:49 |
| mdke | it exists? | 15:49 |
| mdke | it should be a symbolic link pointing at /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/libs | 15:50 |
| Rocket2DMn | i just posted back, the directory exists but it is empty | 15:50 |
| Rocket2DMn | negative, it is its own directory | 15:51 |
| mdke | how bizarre | 15:51 |
| mdke | I'm stumped about that | 15:52 |
| Rocket2DMn | that laptop has been upgraded since Feisty | 15:52 |
| mdke | aha... | 15:52 |
| Rocket2DMn | its always been to a stable release though, i dont use it for development testing | 15:53 |
| mdke | I think that in gutsy and feisty that directory may not have been a symbolic link, so I guess what has happened is that it didn't get removed, and therefore the symbolic link can't be created | 15:53 |
| Rocket2DMn | i see in Jaunty that it is a symlink | 15:54 |
| mdke | it should be in Intrepid too | 15:54 |
| Rocket2DMn | its not a symlink in hardy | 15:54 |
| mdke | does it have files in it in hardy? | 15:55 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah | 15:55 |
| Rocket2DMn | they are symlinked though | 15:55 |
| mdke | ok, that must be the issue | 15:55 |
| mdke | i don't know how to fix that :) | 15:56 |
| Rocket2DMn | idk how updates are configured during upgrades, but i guess you need to run a command to check for a symlink, and if it doesnt exist, then delete the directory and create the link | 15:56 |
| Rocket2DMn | like a bash script with some if/then statements | 15:56 |
| mdke | maybe | 15:57 |
| Rocket2DMn | i dont actually patch bugs for Ubuntu, i drew the line at triaging | 15:57 |
| mdke | I'll ask one of the developers who knows all about packaging | 15:58 |
| Rocket2DMn | ok, do you want me to post the source of problem to the bug report? | 15:58 |
| mdke | thanks for your help debugging that issue | 15:59 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: no, that's fine. I think the bug report has the right info now | 15:59 |
| Rocket2DMn | ok, no problem | 15:59 |
| Rocket2DMn | and thank you for the testimonial last week | 15:59 |
| mdke | pleasure | 15:59 |
| Rocket2DMn | did you go to UDS Jaunty? | 16:00 |
| mdke | no | 16:00 |
| mdke | I've never been to a developer conference | 16:00 |
| Rocket2DMn | i havent either, but i would loved to have gone to this one. I was from the Bay Area, and I have a friend who works at Google, I could've gotten in no problem | 16:01 |
| Rocket2DMn | didnt think my company would fly my 3k miles for that though | 16:01 |
| mdke | heh | 16:02 |
| mdke | I can't really see myself getting the time off either | 16:02 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah same, woulda been great if they could fly me out there and give me a charge number | 16:02 |
| mdke | indeed | 16:03 |
| Rocket2DMn | apparently it was decided (or just announced) at UDS that the Forum Council can now approve Ubuntu Members | 16:03 |
| mdke | ok. I know it's been talked about for a bit | 16:03 |
| mdke | personally, I thoroughly disapprove of team councils being permitted to approve Ubuntu members, especially now that we have a great regional board system | 16:04 |
| mdke | if team councils do it, you lose the benefit of contributors being seen by other areas of the community, because teams just appoint members from their own section of the community | 16:04 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, I think the idea was that it could be granted to outstanding contributors to the forums. | 16:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | however i do wish the forums were more integrated with the rest of the community, and having to go to regional boards is one way to encourage that | 16:05 |
| mdke | that's exactly my point | 16:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | there is discussion right now about how another mod and i who are currently on the regional board application list are going to go through the approval process. i'm all for staying with the regional board, like everybody else does | 16:06 |
| mdke | it's up to you :) | 16:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | we'll figure it out soon, it would be nice if they set a date for the next meeting though | 16:07 |
| j1mc | hi a | 16:09 |
| j1mc | all | 16:09 |
| Rocket2DMn | hello | 16:10 |
| j1mc | is there talk of a docteam meeting? | 16:12 |
| mdke | no :) | 16:12 |
| Rocket2DMn | lol, we dont actually have many people who sit in this channel, and those that do dont speak | 16:13 |
| j1mc | yes, it's pretty rare | 16:13 |
| mdke | I don't think we have had a meeting for a number of years now, it wouldn't be a bad idea | 16:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | i would very much like to know what duncan lithgow was doing onthe community docs and how we can clean it up | 16:14 |
| j1mc | i know that we had tried to coordinate a meeting during the hardy release, but couldn't work out schedules. | 16:16 |
| j1mc | it should be a busy doc cycle for me, as xfce needs new docs for xfce 4.6 | 16:17 |
| mdke | cool | 16:17 |
| j1mc | fortunately, work has mellowed out some for now. | 16:17 |
| j1mc | so not as many late nights. | 16:17 |
| Rocket2DMn | hehe, thats good | 16:18 |
| * mdke ducks out for a bit | 16:19 | |
| j1mc | have a good day, mdke | 16:19 |
| Rocket2DMn | see ya mdke | 16:19 |
| Rocket2DMn | hmm CategoryX and CategoryXwindowSystem | 16:19 |
