emmaHi.02:42
nhandlerHi emgent02:42
nhandler* emma02:42
emmaOut of curiosity how come ubuntu comes with pulseaudio but not with pavucontrol ?02:43
emmahi there nhandler02:43
nhandlerWell, for one thing, pavucontrol is in universe.02:44
emmanhandler: have you also found that pulseaudio is fragile and difficult to understand?02:45
emmamaybe it isn't working correctly because only some of its components are installed?02:46
emma(I don't really know. I'm just trying to figure it out)02:47
nhandleremma: I really don't play much music/movies, so I don't deal with pulseaudio much. I'm also on a live cd right now, so I haven't had a chance to see how it is in jaunty02:47
emmaThat's cool.02:47
* calc gets to learn git today02:47
calcapparently gnome switched to git, so ooo-build did as well and moved to freedesktop.org in the process02:48
emmanhandler: There are some applications that are going to touch upon the ordinary users experience so much that I think in order to make Ubuntu a consistently attractive product, they really need to be given special attention.02:51

TheMusocalc: Yeah I think we need someone from the kernel team like apw to give a good git session at UDS etc, since he knows it extremely well.03:03

slangasekhrm.  is there a way to push a stacked branch on LP that has a sane point of reference to the LP branch it was based on, instead of the original import branch?07:28

slangasekah07:30
wgrant(note that that will only work for public branches)07:30
slangasekyeah; I hadn't had much luck finding the right syntax07:30
slangaseksince there are so many ways to refer to LP branches, and none of the others seem to work. :)07:30
wgrantlp: won't work because it's probably resolved client-side.07:31
wgrantbzr+ssh: won't work because it requires auth.07:31
slangasekheh, of course, now that I try it bzr tells me the source branch doesn't support stacking07:31

wgrantWoah.07:32
wgrantThat is one old repo format.07:32
wgrantIs there a good reason for that?07:33
slangasekbecause I don't know how to upgrade it ;)07:33
wgrantbzr upgrade lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu07:33
slangasekwon't that upgrade it to the bleeding edge by default?07:33
wgrantNo - 1.6 at most, IIRC.07:34
wgrantBut let's see what's defualt now.07:34
wgrantpack-0.92 is the default.07:34
wgrantSo anything >= bzr 0.92 can read it.07:35
* slangasek tries 1.6 anyway, then07:35
wgrant(this is Jaunty, with bzr 1.13~rc1)07:35
wgrant1.6 is what I usually use.07:35
slangasekok, this one seems to be working.  I tried upgrading my local branch earlier and it whined at me, dunno what that difference is07:36
wgrantWhat was it whining about?07:38
slangaseklet's hope my laptop doesn't crash or anything before it manages to finish upgrading, I'd prefer not to be picking up the shards remotely :P07:38
slangaseknot knowing how to upgrade between format $foo and format $bar07:38
wgrantIf that breaks, you do need something like lftp, yes.07:38

slangasekafter that, it says Standalone branch (format: unnamed)08:12
wgrantI'm checking it out to have a look at it myself (though it's not the same copy you're looking at, unfortunately), but it's of course being very slow because it's knits.08:14
slangasekif I ask the local branch, it says dirstate-with-subtree08:17
wgrantSo it does.08:18
wgrantI just saw that.08:18
wgrantThat is the problem.08:18
* wgrant tries some things.08:18
wgrantI can't upgrade dirstate-with-subtree to any format, but I *can* create a new 1.6.1-rich-root branch and pull into there.08:20
slangasekhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2008q3/046400.html08:20
slangasekso that's the recommended approach, yeah (and I think that's what we had to do for the d-i repo when upgrading it)08:20
wgrantAha, exactly.08:20
wgrantAnd then you have to work out how to clobber the LP branch.08:20
slangasekyep08:21
slangasekare you doing that, or shall I?08:21
wgrantI'm not core-dev.08:21
slangasekoh08:21
slangasekthen I guess I'll do it, won't I08:21
wgrantI suspect so.08:21
wgrantYou might need an lftp to do it08:21
wgrantAs I don't think --overwrite will change the format.08:21
wgrantBut, hmmm...08:21
wgrantslangasek: Do you recall how you did it with d-i?08:23
=== fargiol`` is now known as fargiolas

slangasekwe may have just deleted the branch out of LP and pushed08:23
wgrantThen you lose all the metadata and branch links.08:24

slangasekthen we may not have done that08:24
slangasekcjwatson: what was the trick to clobber the format of the d-i branch on the server when upgrading?08:25

wgrantConvenient!08:35
slangasekthough it's still being awfully slow08:37
wgrantI'm a little concerned that '--stacked-on=' stacks on the current directory.08:39
wgrantI wonder if there is actually a way to force non-stacking...08:39

wgrantslangasek: Is the push working?08:46
slangasekI restarted to fiddle; let me see08:46
slangasekseems to be working, though slower than I expected08:49
wgrantslangasek: You should probably get ~registry to unset the dev focus, as that's clearly not right any more.08:55
wgrantWhich will mean they won't autostack at all.08:55
slangasekI don't follow you09:00
slangasekyou want the upstream branch to not be marked as 'development' as a workaround?09:00
wgrantlp:hal is a vcs-imports mirror which is three years out of date. It's misleading, and it's causing the stacking problem, so it's good all-round to kill it.09:00
slangasekoh, hmm, it is rather old isn't it09:01
cjwatsonslangasek: pretty sure we removed the remote branch09:01
wgrantSince they moved to git, I presume.09:01

cjwatsonslangasek: I don't think I cared that much about bug metadata on the Ubuntu trunk, no09:02
cjwatsonand I don't think there were any merge proposals at the time09:03
* slangasek nods09:03
wgrantI wonder how many other dirstate-with-subtree branches there are around.09:03
wgrant~bzr seems to have liked to forget about that format - it's a dead end and isn't listed even in the legacy formats list.09:03
slangasekhmm, new branch is there, wonder what it is09:05
wgrantLP hasn't scanned it yet, apparently.09:06

wgrantAnd now, you can stack on it!09:06
wgrantYep. Knits are awfully slow.09:06
cjwatsondirstate-with-subtree was what you got when bzr-svn first arrived, I think09:07
cjwatsonso I suspect "several"09:07

wgrantAt least the conversion process is worked out now.09:08
slangasekyes, it just requires patience :-P09:08
wgrantLP still hasn't picked up the format switch.09:08
wgrantMaybe it won't until there's a new rev.09:08
slangasekbut the initial investment was worth it, lp:~vorlon/hal/lp.277589 is light now09:09

wgrantslangasek: What do you make of that scary-looking error on the branch page?09:10
wgrantI had a similar one (but for file://) before, when I pushed a branch stacked on a local branch.09:10
cjwatsonis the "stacked on" meant to show the lp: bit? LP doesn't normally09:10
wgrantcjwatson: It does.09:10
slangasekwgrant: heh, apparently I stacked it on https: instead of http; it worked, but I should probably correct that09:11
wgrantI filed a bug to make it do so.09:11
cjwatsonah. yes, I see it does in some other contexts but not all09:11

crdlbk, I'll file a separate bug then; it just seems like quite a coincidence10:56
mdzif they are the same, that would be very bad news indeed10:58

magciusCan we make more tools in Ubuntu use PolicyKit instead of gksu/gksudo?15:31
magciusOr is that a GNOME decision.15:31
asacmagcius: its probably a patch decision ;)15:31
cjwatsonapw: what maxb said. Since it only affects people who've done manual filesystem changes anyway, and who would already have had to run grub-install on upgrade from <=intrepid, I'm not that worried15:31
magciusasac, I'm not in favor of downstream patches.15:31
asacmagcius: i didnt talk about downstream15:32
magciusasac, then what do you mean by a patch decision?15:32
cjwatsonapw: (i.e. intrepid's grub couldn't boot ext4 anyway)15:32
asacmagcius: i mean if someone provides patches its likely that upstream will accept them15:33
magciusMay I ask how gksudo is integrated into the system utilities?15:33
cjwatsonkirkland: ubuntu-virt-server is uninstallable on everything except amd64 and i386. Should the kvm dependency be removed except on those architectures, or should ubuntu-virt-server simply be built for only amd64 and i386?15:34
cjwatsonfor the most part gksudo "integration" just consists of using it in a .desktop file, or in rare cases of a wrapper script that calls gksudo15:35
cjwatsonmostly we consider this a bug15:35

GuyFromHellhey all, i'm trying to make a patch for a package but `debuild -S` keeps croaking on http://rafb.net/p/UYndq787.html22:11
GuyFromHellalthough i can `echo "foo" | gpg --sign` properly and it says the correct key22:11
Mithrandirdon't worry about that, if you just want to create a patch you don't need to sign it.22:12
Mithrandirthough in general, make sure your entry in the changelog exactly matches what's on your key22:13
GuyFromHellit indeed does :/22:13
GuyFromHellI don't need it even if i'm patching a patch?22:13
GuyFromHellor should i not even do that in the first place; just make a new patch..22:13
Mithrandirpatching patches is generally icky and it's more readable to just create a new patch22:14
GuyFromHellI figured it out, my secret key was for "Name (comment) <email>"; not "Name <email>"22:15
GuyFromHellalright, i'll try this again making a new patch instead; thanks22:16

davmor2jldugger: the stylus is amazingly accurate it only seems to be the mouse that is having issues23:35
jlduggerArthurLiu: im told whoever applied withdrew their application23:35
jlduggerive no idea who applied, but if it's been given to another project it seems unlikely it'll come back23:36
jlduggerArthurLiu: consider it an opportunity to work very closely with upstream23:36
ArthurLiua lot of people are going to be really confused23:36
jlduggerwhy?23:36
ArthurLiuwell, you already had a few students at least interested23:37
ArthurLiusomeone should update the wiki page and send a notice on the soc mailing list23:37
jlduggerSoC is always a speculative thing; there's no guarentee that ubuntu would be accepted if it applied23:38
ArthurLiuwell, you *were* accepted this year23:38
jlduggerunfortunately, it seems that none of the ubuntu governance attempts to monitor SoC23:38
