liquidThe Giver file sharing package is extremely buggy. Is there any plans for forward progress on it? It's very promising and very slick when it works.02:46
greg-gliquid: that is probably a better question for the developers of that application02:48
liquidok02:48
EagleScreenincorrect working of kpackagekit/policykit-kde; i think there is a problem with one of them02:49
liquidWhat bugs are addressed here? Forgive me, I've never been here before.02:49
liquidI guess what I'm asking - what's the scope?02:49
EagleScreenkpackagekit call policykit-kde to autenticate for installing packages, but kpackagekit gives you autentication error before you type password in policykit-kde dialog02:51
liquid?02:51
greg-gliquid: the scope of this channel is for triaging bugs in Ubuntu02:53
liquidHow about this: If you log in remotely using XDMCP, you cannot unlock any interface requiring admin prriveleges.02:53
liquidthanks greg-g02:54
greg-gliquid: and it is a good idea to reference a reported bug (in launchpad.net) when trying to triage something, as others who are not here at the moment can still look/help later02:55
liquidThe problem I'm talking about with XDMCP I first noticed in Hardy, and it still seems to exist in Intrepd02:55
liquidLet me log into launchpad02:55
liquiduno momento02:55
greg-gliquid: then best bet is to search LP for that bug and see if it is already reported.  if not, report it. if it is, see if there is anything helpful you can add to the bug report02:56
liquid23065602:56
liquid?02:56
greg-gand I don't know much about XDMCP, so, I can't be of much help to debug it02:56

liquidyep, that's the one02:56
hggdhhum. I remember something about policykit02:57
liquidyeah02:58
liquidthere are policykit errors all over the syslog02:58
liquidI'm willing to help fix it, if I can02:58
hggdhthere you go. Did you search for policykit reported bugs?02:58
greg-gmight be helpful to attach the syslog when the problem occurs, then02:59
hggdhhum. Bug 18758502:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 187585 in policykit "Policykit does not work when logged in as root over ssh" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18758502:59
liquidNo... you think this is systemic of a triaged bug in policykit?02:59
liquidhmm02:59
liquidlooks like that's a viable culprit for sure02:59
hggdhit would be really good to have the policykit errors you see in the log03:00
liquidwell, i'll post them when I'm in the office next03:01
liquidactually...03:01
liquidI think someone may have posted it in our in-house mantis site03:01
liquidlet me check03:02
liquidI might be able to get them to you now-ish03:02
hggdhthe above bug comments on a workaround available on bug 22136303:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 221363 in freenx-server "Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22136303:02
liquidI didn;t know NX was related to XDMCP03:03
hggdhliquid, I personally do not think this is particular to XDMCP, but probably something common to any remote session03:04
liquidok03:04
liquidyou know, this might be realted to another problem I've been having (Although it's a stretch...)03:05
liquidAfter upgrading a server from hardy to intrepid, I cannot forward x apps over ssh without enormous delays and a ton of error messages about orbit of stderr03:06
liquidthe 'fix' if you will, for that is to run dbus-launch command03:06
liquidit looks like dbus has some problems with x03:06
liquidbecause if you look at bug 221363, they reference dbus03:06
ubottuLaunchpad bug 221363 in freenx-server "Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22136303:06
liquidsorry, I meant 'orbit on stderr' (not 'of')03:07
hggdhit might03:08
liquidI would like to contribute to the ubuntu project, actually03:09
liquidI don't know much about linux dev03:09
liquidhowever03:09
hggdha good thing to do is look at bugs.debian.org (our upstream for pk, it seems)03:10
liquidthanks03:10
liquidI'll use that in the future03:10
hggdhreal upstream development seems to be centred at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit03:13
liquidinteresting03:13
hggdhso now you have a lot of pointers to search, and help resolve/triage the problem. Welcome to bug triaging!03:14
liquidyay!03:14
liquidthe policykit team has it pretty easy, 33 bugs?! pfft!03:14
hggdhmost of the times it seems to work quite nicely...03:15
liquiddefiantely03:15
liquidmaybe the problem is dbus03:15
hggdhperhaps... also, please keep in mind we may be talking about different versions of pk on Ubuntu, Debian, and upstream; also, what you saw upstream are the *open* bugs... this might have been corrected on a patch that we did not get03:16
liquidhmm03:17
hggdhwelcome ;-)03:17
liquidtrue that03:17
hggdhso now you need to look at it all, trying to find the infamous needle in the haystack03:17
liquidoh baby03:18
liquid:)03:18
liquidGood thing we have hardcore debugging tools in linux, like gdb :)03:18
hggdhalso https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18948 sounds interesting03:20

hggdhanyway. You know what to look for now. And your knowledge of policykit is as good as mine...03:21
liquidyeah, I'm reading that one now03:21
liquidcool, we can work through this *togethor* ! (High fives)03:21

andresmujicaCrown, please add the info as separate attachments, no need to put that in the description, you add a new comment and attach the file11:22

MrKanisterpedro_: How are things?16:49
pedro_MrKanister: going great, how about you?16:50
MrKanistercouldn't be better :)16:50
MrKanisterpedro_: I think I should add some more bugs to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/2009012216:51
pedro_MrKanister: omg did you already started? ;-)16:51
pedro_MrKanister: yeah feel free to add some more ;-)16:51
MrKanisterpedro_: I couldn't resist :P16:51
* pedro_ hugs the super MrKanister16:52
* MrKanister hugs pedro_ back16:52
pedro_MrKanister: are you using 5-a-day to keep track of that work?16:52
MrKanisterpedro_: I got a free Tuesday so I had a lot of time.16:52
MrKanisterpedro_: Yep, I am using 5-a-day16:53
* MrKanister thinks that is is more work to add all the bugs to 5-a-day than to work on them16:53
pedro_MrKanister: yeah, got some comments about that too16:54
pedro_MrKanister: dholbach and bdmurray are working in having some automated way to do that16:54
MrKanisterpedro_: I like automated things ;)16:54
MrKanisterpedro_: How about  a separate page for the bug day with a button next to them to mark them as being worked on?16:55
MrKanister* next to the bugs16:55
pedro_MrKanister: you said something like the "mark as reviewed" button we have at the harvest page?16:56
pedro_http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest/handler.py?pkg=nautilus <-16:56
MrKanisterpedro_: Yes, imagined something like that (btw: In Harvest it is not always working)16:57
pedro_MrKanister: m i like that idea, but it maybe be difficult to know how is working on what, you know for doing a basic stats at the end of the hug day16:59
pedro_MrKanister: what do you mean ? dholbach is the right man to ask about harvest16:59
dholbachin a session right now16:59
dholbachknown bug, didn't have the time to look into it, sorry16:59
MrKanisterpedro_: I think if the pages is connect to launchpad (for example with OpenID) it should be possible to register who clicked the button17:00

hggdhbdmurray, ping22:26
bdmurrayhggdh: hello22:27
maxbHi. On my Aspire One running Jaunty, network-manager can't see the wireless device (AR5007EG card, AR2425 chip) when running the Jaunty kernel. It works if I boot the remnant Intrepid kernel instead.22:33
maxbI could use some guidance figuring out what to report to make a useful bug, as well as whether it needs to be filed against linux or network-manager22:33
hggdhbdmurray, I am getting a failure when installing the new lp_patches.user.js22:40
dtchenmaxb: is the nic enumerated in userspace at all when you boot the jaunty kernel?  (and which jaunty kernel?)22:40
bdmurrayhggdh: click on the green download arrow on the far right not the thing on the far left22:41
hggdhand then open with ffox, correct?22:41
bdmurraygm pops up for me and says "this is a gm user script..."22:42
hggdhit does not for me...22:42
hggdhtrying a brand new ffox session.22:43
maxbdtchen: It works sufficiently that I can "iwlist wlan0 scan" and see APs. Kernel 2.6.28-4.1122:43
hggdhbdmurray, dat iz ferry veird. Closed ffox, re-opened it, went to the link, and now GM pops in22:44
bdmurrayhggdh: it happens sometimes to me too22:45
hggdhheh. At least I am not alone...22:46
dtchenmaxb: ok, so the affected source package question is answered.22:46
dtchenmaxb: take a look at /var/log/daemon.log for debug, and try using nm-tool(1) for further info22:48
dtchenmaxb: also, you may wish to ensure that lshal/hal-get-property still reports the same info for your wireless hw for both kernels you've tested22:50
maxbdtchen: nm-tool says "State: unavailable" about the wireless device. I've dumped lshal output, and will reboot and get the counterpart. What would I do with hal-get-property?22:52
dtchenmaxb: h-g-p just allows you to drill down/filter for specific key/values; lshal will likely suffice in this context22:53
maxboh dear, I feel silly. It thinks the rfkill is active22:53
maxbUnfortunately, the rfkill is just a physically stateless button in this case, which makes things harder22:54
maxb(pressing it doesn't help)22:54
maxbAlso:   (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 2)  .... where do I look up the reason code?22:56
maxbHuh, right, so the killswitch does toggle the radio (as shown by whether iwlist wlan0 scan works or not)22:59
maxbBut /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/rfkill/rfkill0/state remains "0" throughout22:59
dtchenmaxb: i recommend adding a linux task to that bug, then23:01
maxbdtchen: Thanks for the nudging in the right direction. Turns out that "rmmod acer_wmi" gets things working!23:08
* maxb heads to Malone23:08
