| MaxDread | Greetings all... to fix some corrupted system files I just had to do a soft-install of Ubuntu 8.10 on this laptop (previously 8.04(?)). Everything was looking pretty good except when I clicked on Evolution Mail it mentioned something about migrating to SQLite, paused for a few seconds and then the window disappeared and the process bombed. | 01:50 |

| MaxDread | I'm in the process of doing all the updates, was wondering if anyone here was familiar with whether or not that would take care of the problem. | 01:51 |

| Rocket2DMn | MaxDread, after your updates, if the problem persists you should file a bug report | 02:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | for a program crash, you will need to get a backtrace - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash | 02:05 |
| gourgi | everytime i report a bug , the report is private. should i leave it that way or changing it to public ? in which cases reports should remain private ? | 02:46 |
| charlie-tca | gourgi: the report is private until it is verified that there is no personal data in it. | 02:49 |
| gourgi | so i should leave it that way, right? | 02:50 |
| charlie-tca | If you verify there are no passwords, bank accounts, private info you don't want released in it, you can mark it public | 02:50 |
| gourgi | charlie-tca how can i verify that? | 02:50 |
| charlie-tca | You have to look in every file that is attached. | 02:50 |
| gourgi | charlie-tca just looking inside the attachments? | 02:50 |
| charlie-tca | yeah | 02:50 |
| gourgi | ok , i'll have it in mind | 02:51 |
| gourgi | thanks | 02:51 |
| charlie-tca | you are welcome | 02:51 |
| charlie-tca | I have special test systems, so I turn the reports public each time. | 02:51 |
| gourgi | i actually my jaunty install is also in a test enviroment | 02:52 |
| charlie-tca | I use test passwords and have no information on those systems, so I know it does not matter. | 02:53 |
| gourgi | same here, so it is ok for now , but i'll definitely look reports from my real working pc. | 02:55 |
| gourgi | not that there are many things to report there :) interpid is solid for me | 02:56 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, I am cautious with the real system. | 02:58 |

| Hobbsee | Hew: I don't see how that's a bug? | 08:41 |
| Hobbsee | Hew: he hit cancel, it didn't change the config file. Works as intended, i thought? | 08:42 |
| Hobbsee | (of course, it's not wise to hit the cancel button, but...) | 08:42 |
| === BugMaN1 is now known as BugMaN | ||
| Hew | Hobbsee: That's what I was about to say, but I've hit the cancel button myself before, it's a bit deceptive. I was going to have a look for any related bugs first. | 08:49 |
| Hew | Hobbsee: It's wishlist, if it's anything at all. | 08:50 |
| Hobbsee | Hew: such as "don't let people cancel during dist-upgrades"? Yeah, possibly | 08:50 |
| Hew | Hobbsee: Well just for a new kernel. Cancelling leaves menu.lst as is, without the new kernel options. If that's what the user wants to do, they should select the "Do Nothing" option imo. Cancel and Forward (from memory) are not clear when you're looking at the merge differences and want to go back. | 08:53 |

| MrKanister | hi pedro_. well I am about to use the hugday-tools, but I can't find the cockie :P | 15:03 |
| MrKanister | *cookie | 15:04 |
| hggdh | ah, thanks, I was a bit surprised | 15:04 |
| pedro_ | MrKanister: is at the ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default/ directory | 15:05 |
| pedro_ | MrKanister: file name is cookies.sqlite | 15:06 |
| MrKanister | pedro_: I found that file, but how do I open it? Do I have to use sqlite ? | 15:07 |
| pedro_ | MrKanister: no you don't have to open it, just pass the path to the hugday-tools | 15:07 |
| MrKanister | TypeError: Try to read cookiefile, cannot handle format of '/home/martin/.mozilla/firefox/gh09ina8.default/cookies.sqlite' | 15:09 |
| MrKanister | pedro_: I am always getting this error | 15:10 |
| MrKanister | pedro_: Doesn't work with the MOINMOIN-ID directly, either... | 15:11 |
| pedro_ | ouch it works fine here | 15:11 |
| pedro_ | thekorn: are you around? | 15:11 |
| hggdh | MrKanister, same here | 15:17 |
| pedro_ | hggdh: using intrepid as well? | 15:18 |
| hggdh | pedro_, on jaunty | 15:18 |
| pedro_ | i'm running jaunty and just checked out the hugday-tools branch from bzr | 15:18 |
| pedro_ | and i don't have any problem | 15:19 |
| hggdh | ah, I installed from PPA. Perhaps an update in bzr? | 15:19 |
| MrKanister | pedro_: Maybe the branch has some fixes in it | 15:19 |
| pedro_ | maybe, could you give it a try? | 15:19 |
| thekorn | pedro_: yes | 15:22 |
| MrKanister | Works with the bzr branch version | 15:22 |
| MrKanister | but using "--wiki-id" still doesn't work | 15:22 |
| pedro_ | thekorn: MrKanister and hggdh are having some issues with hugday-tools | 15:22 |
| pedro_ | may you have a look ? ;-) | 15:22 |
| thekorn | ok, reading the log | 15:23 |
| pedro_ | thanks you ! | 15:23 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: do you get any error message when you run hugday init --user NAME --cookie PATH ? | 15:24 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102877/ | 15:25 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: The problem with the cookie.sqplite file only appears with the ppa-version | 15:25 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: hmm, let me check | 15:26 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: ok, which version of python are you using | 15:29 |
| hggdh | thekorn, here it is 2.5.4 | 15:30 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: 2.5.2-1ubuntu1 | 15:30 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: I was wondering why huday-tools wants to have python2.4 installed | 15:30 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: because I'm bad at packaging stuff :( | 15:31 |
| thekorn | ok I did the packaging wrong, | 15:32 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: hm, that may have caused the problem | 15:32 |
| thekorn | with python < 2.4 you need python-pysqlite2 | 15:33 |
| thekorn | pythoon >= 2.5 has sqlite on board | 15:33 |
| thekorn | and should work | 15:33 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: I will try that | 15:34 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: Thank you | 15:34 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: hm...doesn't work though | 15:37 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: same error? | 15:37 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: yes | 15:37 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: to be sure, 'only' the PPA version is broken, when you use it directly from the branch it works? | 15:38 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: Yes, "--cookie" works with the branch-version, but "--wiki-id" works with no version | 15:39 |
| thekorn | tzz, that's bad | 15:39 |
| MrKanister | with "--wiki-id" I get "hugday: error: The following options are not allowed for this tool: wiki_id" | 15:40 |
| thekorn | MrKanister: argh, this is another bug, | 15:42 |
| thekorn | looks likke a typo somewhere in the code | 15:42 |
| * thekorn does too much typos | 15:42 | |
| MrKanister | thekorn: It's in line 77 | 15:42 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: sorry, I was wrong | 15:44 |
| thekorn | yes, the typo is in ln 86 | 15:45 |
| thekorn | it should be wiki_id there | 15:45 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: You are right, I mixed it up | 15:46 |
| MrKanister | thekorn: But apart from that the tool is great. thank you very much for it :) | 15:48 |

| hggdh | question: bug 111494 why is it I cannot change the Importance? | 15:51 |

| hggdh | yeah, I think this may be it. But it seems I cannot change the importance on any of the update-manager bugs. How's an u-m hugday to go this way? | 15:54 |
| hggdh | pedro_, ^^ | 15:55 |
| hggdh | (please ;-) | 15:55 |
| MrKanister | hggdh: Hmm, I am able to :P | 15:56 |
| MrKanister | (but only with packages, not with projects) | 15:56 |
| pedro_ | hggdh: probably because you don't have permissions over the "upstream" project | 15:57 |
| pedro_ | that's bad filed anyways | 15:57 |
| MrKanister | I added the package for ubuntu | 15:57 |
| pedro_ | just close the upstream task, that's no sense | 15:58 |
| MrKanister | pedro_: done | 15:58 |
| hggdh | I thought about that, but there are many this way... so we will go closing all upstream | 15:58 |
| pedro_ | MrKanister: thanks | 15:58 |
| pedro_ | hggdh: i'll ask mvo about that | 15:59 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, MrKanister just talked to mvo, he wants the upstream tasks to be closed and open a new ubuntu task for them with same status if they are confirmed or triage | 16:19 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, MrKanister if they are too old just close them | 16:19 |

| mangilimic | hggdh: what should we do in order to cope with this problem? | 19:52 |
| MrKanister | hggdh, mangilimic: Why is it possible at all to open a bug against a project? | 19:54 |
| hggdh | mangilimic, reject invalid the upstream u-m, and open an Ubuntu u-m task; then go on the usual process (asking for more info, etc) | 19:54 |
| mangilimic | hggdh: sorry! I read previous messages in IRC and understood what we should do! I apologize for this inconvenience! | 19:55 |
| hggdh | mangilimic, no prob | 19:55 |
| hggdh | MrKanister, they exist in LP, so people can open bugs against the upstream (in fact, we do that when we set an upstream bug watch). But -- generically speaking -- all new bugs on Ubuntu should be set against the Ubuntu package | 19:56 |
| MrKanister | hggdh: hm...Is it possible to make the package in a distribution compulsory? | 19:58 |
| MrKanister | (when filing a bug...) | 19:58 |
| hggdh | I was thinking of this also... | 20:03 |
| hggdh | if you open an Ubuntu bug, you *must* open it against an Ubuntu package | 20:03 |
| hggdh | I guess this will have to be discussed with Pedro, Brian, and the LP team (if not already reported against LP/Malone) | 20:04 |
| MrKanister | Thanks for the information | 20:09 |
| MrKanister | btw: nearly all the update-manager bugs now have a package assigned to | 20:09 |
| mangilimic | MrKanister: that's all for today! :) | 20:13 |
