| tawmas | Hi! | 09:59 |
| tawmas | I'm unable to use music CDs with latest Ubuntu 9.04 updates. It brings up a dbus error, and I can't figure out if the problem is with gvfs, hal or dbus. | 09:59 |
| tawmas | The error is quite long, do we have a preferred pastebin for this channel? | 09:59 |
| maco | pick one | 09:59 |
| tawmas | Or do I paste it here? | 09:59 |

| maco | use a pastebin, but which one is up to you | 09:59 |
| tawmas | http://pastebin.ca/1323527 | 10:00 |
| maco | tawmas: i wonder if that could be smething in policykit... | 10:06 |
| maco | check your system -> administration -> authorizations and make sure nothing weird has changed to disallow you from using removable media | 10:06 |
| * tawmas goes looking | 10:06 | |
| maco | and is it *only* music cds? or do audio cds misbehave as well? | 10:09 |
| tawmas | maco: under "Mount file systems from removable drives" I see "Active console: yes" under implicit authrizations, and no explicit authorization | 10:10 |
| tawmas | I need to check that. For a while I wasn't able to eject the CD, so I stopped trying anything else | 10:11 |
| maco | i didnt mean audio | 10:12 |
| maco | that was redundant | 10:12 |
| maco | do data cds misbehave | 10:12 |
| tawmas | Oh, it's so automatic that I forgot... I have an external USB drive that I turn on as soon as I login. It got mounted | 10:12 |

| MrKanister | mangilimic: You can also suggest that the bugreporter requests that package to be backported, but since Ubuntu 7.10 will be outdated in some moths I don't think that it will be worth that | 10:29 |

| Laibsch | Does one get Karma for being assigned a bug? It's about the only logical explanation I can find for this guy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~txwikinger assigning himself such a vast number of bugs which if he were even capable of doing it would probably require him a couple of years to actually do | 11:41 |
| Laibsch | sorry, numbers are much smaller, was looking at "related bugs" 758 instead of assigned bugs (just 33) | 11:42 |
| Laibsch | I still wonder | 11:43 |
| Laibsch | Does anyone know this guy? | 11:43 |
| Laibsch | I asked him in one or two bugs whether he was indeed working on the bug, but never got a response | 11:43 |
| Laibsch | I am thinking of asking him once more and then mass-unassigning him. I'm afraid he may induce hesitation in those actually capable of fixing the bugs | 11:44 |

| Laibsch | Which is is when I stumbled on his large Karma | 11:46 |
| Hobbsee | iirc he'd gotten a bit busy, but he's still around every once in a while | 11:46 |
| Hobbsee | you'd probably do better to email directly | 11:47 |
| Laibsch | Well, I'm just trying to fathom if he has the right understanding of "assigned" and that assigning something to yourself without actually working on it is detrimental | 11:48 |
| Laibsch | I hope he understands that | 11:48 |
| Hobbsee | i'm sure he does | 11:48 |
| Hobbsee | however, you can probably hijack bits as well, if you mail first, and get a positive reply. | 11:49 |

| diakopter | hggdh: cool; thanks. also, I can't find a way to get the ocaml bindings from debian/ubuntu...? maybe they should be packaged as a separate .deb? | 20:29 |
| hggdh | diakopter, check if they are part of the source ocaml; there will be probably a comment there about it | 20:30 |
| diakopter | part of the source ocaml? they're part of the llvm source | 20:30 |

| hggdh | maco, somehow they have to export the strings | 20:31 |

| maco | hggdh: i thought maybe im just supposed to change C/seahorse.xml but im not sure if i also have to go through */*.po and change the msgid in there too | 20:31 |
| maco | (i'm not quite sure how rosetta works either) | 20:32 |
| hggdh | let me look on what they have upstream | 20:32 |
| hggdh | heh. On rosetta, the only thing I know is it was discovered a looong time ago ;-) | 20:32 |
| maco | i know how to submit suggested translations in rosetta, and that's it | 20:33 |
| hggdh | eeek! I ran 'sudo apt-get build-dep seahorse'... and it wants to remove gnupg2! | 20:35 |

| diakopter | hggdh: should I report the FTBFS on llvm in debian or launchpad? | 20:35 |
| hggdh | diakopter, if it is an Ubuntu package, on LP | 20:36 |
| hggdh | (and it seems so) | 20:36 |
| diakopter | debian experimental has llvm_2.4-1~exp1 | 20:36 |
| hggdh | and we have ~exp1ubuntu2, so there is at least one local change | 20:37 |
| diakopter | hggdh: ahh... okay. I understand, now. thanks for your help :) | 20:37 |
| hggdh | maco, I am looking now at the trunk code. I think this gets generated there | 20:40 |
| maco | yeah dtchen said he thought the .po files were coming from upstream. that still leaves me wondering the scope of the changes necessary | 20:41 |
| hggdh | maco, it seems that after you make the change to the string (in the source code) it will be reflected under the ./po directory by the basic build process | 20:44 |
| hggdh | yes, it is built during autoconf time | 20:45 |
| hggdh | maco, under ./po, make update-po | 21:01 |
| hggdh | and you will get the seahorse.pot | 21:02 |
| maco | and then i edit that? | 21:02 |
| hggdh | well... poor me, not sure. This is as far as I went. But the .pot is generated from the source code, so I guess you would change in the source | 21:03 |
| hggdh | and then update-po | 21:03 |
| hggdh | where is the string you want defined? | 21:04 |
| * hggdh never did translation | 21:04 | |
| hggdh | except, long time ago, for pgp-international | 21:05 |

| maco | hence the confusion | 21:08 |

| maco | er..3 machines | 21:12 |
| maco | i865, i945, and i965 | 21:12 |
| LimCore | well I have two fresh intel laptops here and this happens here. Perhaps it does not affect ALL laptops out there | 21:12 |
| LimCore | I have i915, and something recent /have to check/ | 21:13 |
| hggdh | maco, yes. You change the base, then you run {cd ./po; make update-po} and you get your brand new .pot | 21:13 |
| maco | and i was making a joke about the bug saying it happens on radeons and you saying "ati, nvidia, and intel" as if radeons were made by all 3 | 21:13 |
| maco | hggdh: but the .pot isnt in the source package, so how does that factor into a debdiff? | 21:14 |
| maco | or are there no debdiffs involved in this case? | 21:14 |
| hggdh | there should be, since you are changing the source. But, in this case, the folks at rosetta will have to finish up the additional translations before you can build the package again (I guess, I am not sure how we do local translations in Ubuntu) | 21:15 |
| hggdh | so -- and still guessing -- you would provide the POT to rosetta, translations would be done, and you would get them and then debdiff | 21:17 |
| hggdh | there has to be some official doc on how this is done... I just do not know where :-( | 21:17 |

| maco | such a descriptive bug title... | 21:43 |
| LimCore | hggdh: it defines the random garbage | 21:46 |
| hggdh | LimCore, could you get a screenshot/video showing it? | 21:47 |
| LimCore | hggdh: ok I will try, but it dissapears quickly | 21:48 |
| hggdh | thanks | 21:48 |
| LimCore | hggdh: this is a well known EPIC bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/254468 | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 254468 in xorg-server "MASTER: momentary video garbage upon drawing new objects (particularly in KDE)" [High,Confirmed] | 22:13 |
| LimCore | imho this bug is critical. Can we do something to have this fastly fixed in 8.04 and .10? | 22:15 |
| LimCore | *because of security exposure | 22:15 |
| hggdh | LimCore, it is being actively pursued, although I am still sort of unsure of security exposures | 22:23 |
| LimCore | this is the bug I know for a year \o/ | 22:23 |
| * LimCore facepalms epically and switches to DOS... | 22:23 | |
| hggdh | yes, it does seem very similar to yours | 22:24 |
| LimCore | hggdh: are you kidding me: I can walk up to a password-locked terminal of coworker, move mouse, and see secret documents. or son can walk up to dads locked station, move mouse, and see hardcore pri0n | 22:24 |
| LimCore | its like the definition of security exposure | 22:24 |
| hggdh | show it, then it will be accepted as a security issue | 22:24 |
| LimCore | hggdh: I belive the other gazilion people commenting there did show it already :) what more is needed? | 22:24 |
| LimCore | random parts of pixmap / texture / whatever memory at shown 1) at random 2) when showing password input for locked station | 22:26 |
| hggdh | LimCore, do you run KDE? | 22:26 |
| hggdh | this does not happen to me under gnome | 22:27 |
| LimCore | I seen this moslty on kde, but also on gnome (8.10 clean install) | 22:27 |
| LimCore | no wait, ok this was gnome too | 22:27 |
| hggdh | I never saw it on Gnome | 22:28 |
| hggdh | and -- if you feel strongly about that, you could change it to a security exposure. I think it might be a *potential* privacy issue, but I am unsure if it is a security one | 22:29 |
| LimCore | if it is privacy then it is also security, no? | 22:30 |
| maco | oh oh | 22:30 |
| hggdh | no. privacy and security (although some times they go together) are very different things | 22:31 |
| maco | if i lock screen and close the lid (so it suspends) before it finishes activating the screensaver, when i resume itll show my desktop for about 3 seconds til i move the mouse and remind it that it was supposed to be activating the screensaver | 22:31 |
| LimCore | security is superset of it imho | 22:31 |
| LimCore | maco: here you see | 22:31 |
| hggdh | the other way around, LimCore. Privacy is one aspect looked at on Security | 22:32 |
| LimCore | so many people have this bug.. for year(s) lol... fail :( | 22:32 |
| maco | LimCore: when bugs are marked security bugs, it means remote-exploit-possible, usually | 22:32 |
| maco | hggdh: er, thats the right way around | 22:32 |
| maco | hggdh: if security is the superset, then privacy is part of security | 22:32 |
| hggdh | ugh! <blushes/> | 22:32 |
| LimCore | hggdh: then better provide different security flags | 22:32 |
| maco | LimCore: not for years for me. only with jaunty | 22:32 |
| LimCore | security-exploit | 22:32 |
| LimCore | and security-expostion or something? | 22:32 |
| loic-m | When a bug has been submited in an old release for a package that's not in the repos anymore (removed from Debian repos), can we close the bug? | 22:32 |
| LimCore | maco: I first seen this bug afair on debian in like 2007 mid | 22:33 |
| maco | loic-m: if its not reproducible in the current version | 22:33 |
| LimCore | actualy! | 22:33 |
| LimCore | then this bug was on gnome, hggdh (about screensaver) | 22:33 |
| maco | yeah i was using gnome | 22:33 |
| maco | i only started using kde yesterday | 22:33 |
| hggdh | I did not say it was not. I said I never saw it | 22:33 |
| LimCore | maco: can you please confirm the MASTER bug as privacy (security?) problem alson in GNOME? | 22:33 |
| maco | its been nearly a full 24 hours. thats the longest amount of time i've ever been able to stand kde. | 22:34 |
| LimCore | lól. why so, kde is nice. | 22:34 |
| hggdh | heh | 22:34 |
| hggdh | maco, when this happens you ca read what was on the screen? | 22:34 |
| maco | hggdh: yeah, i could read my email the first time i noticed this | 22:34 |
| * LimCore opens massive pr0n collection + readies a photocamera, for the debuging purposes | 22:34 | |
| hggdh | ugh | 22:35 |
| maco | i dont know if it still happens...this was before christmas | 22:35 |
| maco | and using compiz may have had something to do with it | 22:35 |
| maco | because it slows down screensaver activation | 22:35 |
| hggdh | then there is a clear risk of a security/privacy exposure | 22:35 |
| LimCore | 1. watch p0rn 2. lock station 3. invite children 4. sue ubuntu 5. PROFIT 6. ??? 7. World domination | 22:35 |
| loic-m | maco: there's no version in Jaunty, the package has been removed from Debian in dec 08, however it's still in Intrepid | 22:35 |
| maco | put the underpants back, gnome | 22:35 |
| maco | loic-m: oh if its still in a supported release, leave it alone | 22:36 |
| hggdh | loic-m, then the package is still supported at least on Hardy and Intrepid | 22:36 |
| loic-m | hggdh, maco, thanks | 22:36 |
| maco | if we were talking about something in breezy... | 22:36 |
| LimCore | maco: write that in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/254468 comments plz, it will be helpfull | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 254468 in xorg-server "MASTER: momentary video garbage upon drawing new objects (particularly in KDE)" [High,Confirmed] | 22:36 |
| maco | LimCore: how does my mail client qualify as garbage? | 22:37 |
| LimCore | hggdh: should I make separate sub bug of this MASTER and describe there privacy exposure aspect? | 22:37 |
| hggdh | LimCore, you can also state your case at #ubuntu-hardened | 22:37 |
| maco | wait hold on | 22:37 |
| maco | it says released on jaunty | 22:37 |
| maco | lemme check the date because as i said this was over a month ago | 22:37 |
| hggdh | yes, and ScottK was suggesting a SRU | 22:38 |
| maco | oh so i should say that since i could read my email for about 3-5 seconds before logging in, it should be SRU'd? | 22:38 |
| hggdh | but I certainly would not call it an epic exposure. | 22:38 |
| hggdh | no | 22:38 |
| maco | heh im confused. what do y'all want me to do? | 22:39 |
| maco | LimCore: or did you want me to write the underpants gnome comment? | 22:39 |
| hggdh | If you can see what's on the screen, then this raises the ante | 22:39 |
| maco | (joking) | 22:39 |
| * hggdh just wishes happiness to maco | 22:40 | |
| LimCore | maco: confirm that this happens as well on gnome, and that on GNOME you where able to see the private emails on a LOCKED station | 22:40 |
| maco | ok commented | 22:41 |
| LimCore | thx | 22:42 |
| === quassel28 is now known as maco | ||
| hggdh | LimCore, nice user case ;-) | 22:50 |
| maco | hggdh: what usecase? | 22:53 |
| hggdh | on the bug | 22:53 |
| hggdh | or in the bug | 22:53 |
| LimCore | ;) | 22:53 |
| maco | ah, i give up on this quassel thing. too many places full of text. back to irssi. brb | 22:53 |
| maco | haha | 22:54 |
| hggdh | no quassel anymore? | 22:55 |
| maco | no | 22:55 |
| maco | there were TWO panes showing texts and i dont know why | 22:55 |
| hggdh | to be sure you read it, perhaps? | 22:56 |
| maco | and i couldnt /wc when Nickserv started talking to me | 22:56 |
| maco | tried right-clicking and it started asking about buffers and then i didnt know what buffers had to do with the little list on the side and so back to the comfort of irssi | 22:58 |
| hggdh | heh. Myself, I stay with xchat | 22:59 |
| LimCore | hggdh: attached video | 23:48 |
| hggdh | good, this shows the screen with trash -- but it does not show a security/privacy issue... | 23:50 |
