seb128lut didrocks09:25
pittihey didrocks09:27
mvoMacSlow: hi, I have a system where the flickering with the osd-notify bubles happens09:33
mvoMacSlow: compiz looks correct, the matching rules for fade and animation are both in place - this is with a test install of today09:34
seb128hey mvo!09:34
MacSlowmvo, uff ... no clue what could be causing this if our fixes are in place09:35
seb128brb09:35
seb128pitti: the retracer get stucked a lot recently apparently09:39
mvohey seb12809:39
seb128"gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found"09:39
seb128is what is found in the log when that happens09:39
seb128did you notice that too?09:39
pittiseb128: hm, I don't have cron mail today?09:39
seb128mvo: hello :-)09:39
mvoMacSlow: might be a problem with the driver, its a r535, we had issues with that in the past09:39
seb128pitti: it doesn't crash it hangs09:39
pittiseb128: oh, you mean they are stuck again?09:39
pittiargh09:39
pittiseb128: yeah, I noticed as well; yesterday I had to kill them09:40
seb128pitti: I did restart them yesterday evening on the same issue already09:40
seb128ok, 3 times in a day09:40
seb128and I've bugs which are several days old and not retraced09:40
seb128let's try again09:40
MacSlowmvo, hm... ATI then ... flgrx or radeon/radeon-hd?09:41
mvoMacSlow: radon (well, "ati")09:41
MacSlowmvo, my ATI-based system (iMac) currently doesn't boot under Ubuntu at all :/09:43
MacSlowmvo, so it's impossible to test... only thing I can think of atm would be to grab a current live-cd and try that09:45

pittiseb128: ?09:54
seb128pitti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/136598/09:55
seb128pitti: that the "to retrace" pool for the amd64 retracer09:55

pittiseb128: that'lll keep it busy for a while09:55
seb128indeed09:56
* pitti toddles off for more test installs10:01
* seb128 can only do vm testing this week10:01
mvoMacSlow: so much joy! I just tunred animation and fade off, no flickering, turned both on again, no flickering anymore, reset the compiz settings, no flickering. so now I can not reproduce it anymore10:02
MacSlowmvo, same here ... no clue what else could introduce the flickering10:02
MacSlowmvo, maybe that user has some "stale" plugin-settings10:03
mvoMacSlow: it was a fresh install from the current daily10:06
pittirobert_ancell: good morning; how are you?10:19
robert_ancellpitti: Doing well.  I'm a little worried about how broken python-opengl seems to be in Jaunty though...10:20
pittirobert_ancell, seb128: do you think it is okay to assign some easy bugs to robert_ancell's queue? or is that too early yet?10:21
pittialso, I don't know how the two of you want to divide packages/maintenance/bugs between you, did you already happen to talk about this?10:21
seb128pitti: you are in a hurry apparently ;-)10:21
seb128pitti: I've some tasks on my lists for him today but feel free to add some10:21
pittiseb128: well, not much, we just got a few desktop-ish bugs from QA, and I wonder whom to give them to10:22
seb128pitti: we talked about splitting yesterday but didn't actually look into details yet10:22
pittiseb128: that doesn't mean that you need to *work* on them today10:22
seb128pitti: what is that about all those bug assignments from other teams, new policy?10:22
seb128I got compiz bugs assigned, yeah \o/10:22
pittiseb128: I can assign them to you as well, and you delegate further10:22
pittiugh10:22
seb128I've no clue about compiz and I'm not looking forward working on it10:23
pittifor example, we have this tracker bug (bug 335911), and nobody owns tracker right now10:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 335911 in tracker "Tracker's Evolution mail indexation hangs Evolution" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33591110:23
pittiit's one of those unmaintained areas10:23
seb128pitti: right, upstream said that will be fixed in the new version this week10:23
pittithat particular one is probably trivial, just disable evo email indexing10:23
pittibut I'd like someone to supervise it10:23
seb128pitti: we neither install nor run tracker by default ...10:23
pittiand I'm afraid I can't take more, I'm too much backlogged already :(10:23
seb128pitti: it's already on my list but point taken10:23
pittiseb128: right, but upgraders will have it, and it's in main10:24
seb128pitti: feel free to assign some bugs to robert_ancell I'll watch his list too in the start10:24
seb128pitti: I will assign somebody to the update when they roll new tarballs10:24
seb128but I guess you didn't want to focus on this example10:24
pittiseb128: thus my question whether I should assign to you and you delegate, or just distribute between the two of you10:24
seb128just assign some bugs to robert_ancell that's fine, I will make sure that's something he can manage and do adjustements if required10:25
pittiokay, thanks10:25
seb128as you want10:25
pittias I said, no need to hurry working on them, from my POV I just want to balance the bug assignment workload evenly10:25
seb128right10:27
seb128robert_ancell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide10:27
pittiseb128: btw, you know about ct-rev?10:28
seb128pitti: no10:29
pittiseb128: so, if you get a bug assigned from QA, that doesn't mean that you are 100% required to fix it10:29
pittiseb128: but that it should be reviewed by an expert10:31
pittiseb128: and if you think that the bug is not important enough for us to work on, or it's too hard, or is waiting for upstream, etc., then unassign yourself and tag it "ct-rev"10:31
pittiseb128: QA won't reassign ct-rev'ed bugs back to us10:31
seb128oh ok10:31
seb128why don't we get announce about such policy changes ...10:31
pittiseb128: that's the new experimental workflow for QA to help us focusing on bugs which seem important/regressions10:31
seb128is that documented somewhere ?10:31
pittiseb128: let's bring it up in today's meeting10:31
seb128right10:31
seb128DOH, meeting -> activity report10:31
pittiindeed10:32
* pitti writes10:32
didrocksseb128: why do we have to use dbus-launch gnome-session and not only "gnome-session"? -> I assume that a new dbus should be associated with the new session, but gnome-session does not launch dbus by default, right?10:43
seb128didrocks: gnome-session needs a session bus to talk over10:44
didrocksseb128: ok, so, if I only call gnome-session, I will talk to the other dbus10:45
didrocks(the one linked to X:0 gnome-session)10:45
seb128what do you mean?10:45
seb128there is no dbus session running for your testuser10:45
didrocksseb128: I can simply call, with my testuser "DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session" and it works, so, if gnome-session needs absolutely a dbus to talk with, which one does it take?10:46
vuntzseb128: gnome-session relaunches itself with dbus-launch, fwiw10:48
vuntz(when there's no bus)10:48
seb128didrocks: ok so good it's not needed10:48
seb128vuntz: cool10:49
didrocksthanks vuntz & seb128 :)10:49
seb128it doesn't work here though10:49
seb128"gnome-session[14927]: WARNING: Could not make bus activated clients aware of DISPLAY=:1.0 environment variable: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.10:49
seb128"10:49
seb128I get such errors10:50
didrocksseb128: strange, I can do a print screen to prove it, if you whish :)10:50
seb128and in the session a dialog "couldn't connect to the session bus"10:50
seb128"Could not acquire name on session bus"10:50
seb128didrocks: how do you start xephyr? maybe you did start dbus before with your test user today?10:51
didrocksseb128: simply "$ Xephyr :1" in my user session to run Xephyr server10:51
didrocksand under my testuser:10:51
didrocksDISPLAY=:1 gnome-session10:51
didrocksthat's it10:51
vuntzseb128: did you use "su -"?10:53
vuntz(su - $user, I mean)10:53
vuntzseb128: you need to have the dbus environment variable unset10:54
seb128vuntz: no, "su user"10:54
didrocks(I can confirm, it's unset on my side)10:54
vuntzseb128: su - user, then10:56
seb128vuntz: right ;-)10:56
vuntzseb128: I blame you10:56
vuntzseb128: it's all your fault10:56
seb128vuntz: I take the blame for this one ... how about session saving for non-logout actions, are you still planning to work on it?10:57
vuntzheh10:57
vuntzdon't change the topic of this discussion! :-)10:57
vuntzyeah, I'll work on this10:57
* seb128 hugs vuntz10:57
vuntzI just guess there might be a bad case10:58
didrocksseb128 knows where to lead the discussion when something is embarrassing ;)10:58
vuntzneed to look at the ConsoleKit API, but if shutting down requires authorization, then it'll be, hrm, fun10:59
vuntz(kill all clients, then show the dialog asking for the password... what if you don't give the right password?)10:59
seb128didrocks: it's not embarassing we just didn't use the same way to switch users, if you use "su user" you need dbus-launch ;-)10:59
seb128vuntz: check if you need authorization before starting closing clients?11:00
didrocksseb128: right :), but seing at my company how the UNIX user environnement are tuned and not properly cleaned, I always user - to get a fresh environment :)11:00
vuntzseb128: right, but if you need authorization, what should you do? Ask for it? It will shut down immediately, without waiting for the clients to stop11:01
dobeypitti: ok11:01
seb128vuntz: hum, tricky...11:01
seb128vuntz: can't you just ask for authorization, then close the client and process to reboot?11:02
james_wyou can gain the auth without triggering the action11:02
vuntzseb128: I don't think so11:03
seb128ask for the password twice ;-)11:04
seb128one just to be sure the user has it11:04
seb128and one to do the action ;-)11:04
didrocksseb128: hehe :)11:04
seb128there is no password caching?11:04
seb128ie you can't do 2 different actions by asking the password once?11:04
vuntzseb128: depends of the config11:05
seb128if password is asked twice for some corner cases now I guess that's okish11:05
vuntzseb128: if the PolicyKit config for this action is auth_self_one_shot or auth_admin_one_shot, it can ask it twice11:05
vuntzbut it might be possible to handle the other cases in a sane way11:06
seb128right, as said that's a corner case I would not worry too much about it now11:08
james_wcan't you call polkit_context_can_session_do_action or similar, and if it returns auth_*, do the authentication, then call the action?11:08
james_wif it returns yes, then just call the action11:09
seb128mvo: do you think you could take over bug #331918? it seems to be on track with upstream comments there11:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 331918 in compiz "Clipped area for multiple X screens with different dimensions" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33191811:14
vuntzjames_w: the problem is that we don't want to do the action immediately11:16
james_wyeah, it's racy11:16
vuntzjames_w: and we don't know exactly which action we'll have to do (since we call Restart() and multiple actions can be returned)11:16
james_wbecause of multiple users?11:17
vuntzyes11:17
james_wah11:17
james_wit would be possible to reimplement half the logic, but that's even more racy.11:17
vuntzbut, well, if we manually detect there are multiple users and use the right action, we would just stop working when ConsoleKit logic will change11:18
james_wit seems like ConsoleKit will have to grow some sort of callback?11:18
vuntzjames_w: maybe11:18
davmor2Guys is it know that evolutions notify-osd plugin only tells you about mail in the inbox and not every mail box this is a regression over the old notify system where you just unchecked the box for only inbox11:29
seb128yes11:31
davmor2seb128: Thanks11:32
seb128I don't find the bug number now11:36
seb128but I read some complains about that11:36
seb128I'm pretty sure that's how the code used to work though11:36
davmor2seb128: it is how it used to work unless you unchecked the box in plugins then it would tell you what box had mail see screenshot at http://www.davmor2.co.uk/evo-notify.png11:47

pittiseb128: FYI, current bzr automatically sets the push location if you can write to the branch11:54
pittiseb128: i. e. "debcheckout -a apport" (or any other bzr-maintained package) will just DTRT now \o/11:54
seb128pitti: excellent ;-)11:54
james_wthat's bzr, or debcheckout?11:54
pittijames_w: bzr11:55
pittiI made a TODO item to fix it in debcheckout, but seems bzr itself beat me to it :)11:55

didrocksjames_w: how do you determine if a package is in ~core-dev or ~ubuntu-desktop for instance. A hard list, based on Vcs-Bzr: regularly refreshed?11:59
james_wdidrocks: I don't?11:59
pittididrocks: Vcs-Bzr: needs to be kept current11:59
james_wwhy would I do that?11:59
didrocksjames_w: for debcheckout, some package are in ~core-dev, other in ~ubuntu-desktop, etc., or do you just pull all of them in ~core-dev?12:00
james_wah12:00
james_wdebcheckout, not me :-)12:00
james_wit uses Sources.gz12:00
didrocksoh, ok :-)12:00
james_wVcs-Bzr ends up there, so it can look it up from your apt cache12:01

seb128mvo: btw compiz has a reflection.png which is over a megabyte, do you think it could be shrinked by some way for CD benefits? ;-)12:24

mvoseb128: let me have a look, I don't know what it is used for12:26
seb128that's probably not worth bothering too much but I was wondering if a lower quality png would do the same job12:26

seb128asac: it provides a list of alternative names for icons basically12:39
seb128asac: and is used by gnome-icon-themes for example during the build12:39
seb128asac: they use those lists to make symlinking to other names from the available icons12:40

asaccalc: look at the wiki14:19
asaccalc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2009-03-2414:20
asaci think your activity always looks that way ;)14:20
calcasac: hmm i wonder why :\14:20
calcasac: i send them in email and they look fine then14:20
calci'll fix it though14:20
asaccalc: you need to include a whitespace like you would do it in wiki14:21
calcwhitespace where?14:21
asacif you do its a pitt/rick bug ;)14:21
calcafter the * there is one after it14:21
asaccalc: in front of the *14:21
asaccalc: just try to use the same form in mail that you need to use in wiki14:22
calcoh hmm, well there are others without whitespace before the * in the current wiki, so that is a bit odd14:22
calceg:14:22
calc=== Misc ===14:22
calc* Discussing ideas on bug sorting/filtering14:22
calcthere is no whitespace on that line either but it displayed correctly14:22
asaccalc: i think it works if you also have a empty line14:22
asaccalc: but its not right; as you can see those are no real HTML bullet points14:22
calcoh hold on that one is broken a bit too, nm :)14:22
asacyeah14:23
calcok will fix mine up and add extra space from now on (or try to remember to anyway)14:23
seb128vuntz: hey14:23
seb128vuntz: you are running GNOME 2.26 right? ;-)14:23
seb128vuntz: are the action in gnome-keybinding-properties translated for you?14:24

calcanyone know how to get the cups queue name from command line?14:27
calci was going to ask till but he seems to not be online14:28
calche gave me a bug that I need to investigate14:28
kenvandine_wklpq?14:28
kenvandine_wkshould list all queues14:28
vuntzseb128: which actions?14:28
vuntzseb128: some are not translated here14:29
calcoh i guess then i have no queues since the printer isn't physically connected to this box14:29
seb128vuntz: in my case most are not, ie next track, previous track, volume ...14:29
vuntzseb128: those ones are translated14:30
vuntzseb128: but the run dialog isn't, eg14:30
seb128vuntz: ok thanks14:30
vuntzor "switch to workspace on the left/right/..."14:30
seb128do you know what component has those strings?14:31
seb128ah, gnome-settings-daemon14:32
seb128weird, the .mo has the translation for "Next track"14:33
seb128I bet that's because gnome-control-center doesn't use the gnome-settings-daemon mo file14:34
seb128vuntz: does your gnome-control-center mo files has Next track translated?14:35
vuntzseb128: hrm, how can I find out? With a strings on the mo file?14:38
seb128vuntz: msgunfmt .mo14:38
vuntzseb128: it's in gsd14:38
vuntznot gcc14:38
seb128vuntz: right, I'm just puzzled on how it gets translated for you14:39
seb128vuntz: stracing gnome-keybinding-properties shows it doesn't open the gnome-settings-daemon.mo there14:39
seb128vuntz: I've opened http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576570 about that14:39
ubottuGnome bug 576570 in Keybinding "gnome-settings-daemon actions are not translated" [Normal,New]14:40
vuntzno idea :-)14:40
seb128vuntz: are you sure you don't have the string left over in the g-c-c .mo installed?14:40
_MMA_Will the "CD/DVD Creator" entry be staying visible in "System Tools"? for release?14:41
seb128we might clean those and it could still be in the upstream .mo from a time where the string was a gcc one14:41
seb128_MMA_: I would expect not though I'm not sure what we should do with it right now14:41
kenvandine_wkhey _MMA_14:41
_MMA_seb128: Ok. I was gonna change it in the Studio -menu package but didn't want to do it if you guys had something planned already.14:42
vuntzseb128: I did what you asked me to do, so... if it doesn't show up there14:42
_MMA_kenvandine_wk: yo yo . ;)14:42
seb128vuntz: ok thanks14:42
kenvandine_wk_MMA_: i am betting message indicator sense into Og atm :)14:42
seb128vuntz: I'm pretty sure that the issue is due to the fact that the translations are in an another translation domain than the one used14:42
seb128vuntz: not sure why it works for some strings in your case but that seems an upstream bug in any case ;-)14:43
kenvandine_wks/betting/beating/14:43
seb128_MMA_: any suggestion on where would be the right place for this one?14:43
_MMA_seb128: For us, it's a little redundant. It just brings up Nautilus so you can throw files on a disk and burn. The Brasero entry is fine for us. I think we were just gonna hide the "System Tools" entry.14:45
seb128_MMA_: we might just do the same, though the burn location is an handy way to create CDs quickly or an iso14:46
_MMA_Sure, but only slightly and for us not worth the single menu entry since we want to keep it simple.14:47
_MMA_seb128: When a blank disk is inserted in Ubuntu, does Brasero come up or CD/DVD Creator? (Studio has auto handling turned off)14:50
seb128I would have to try but I would expect having the nautilus dialog asking what you want to do14:51
* luisbg waves14:51
seb128hi luisbg14:51
luisbghey seb12814:52
luisbg:)14:52
_MMA_luisbg: Looks like seb128 wants to hide it. Just gotta work out the details. Make sure it's the best thing to do. I mentioned for us, it's a bit redundant when there are multiple ways to burn a disk and not worth the single menu entry making the menu even bigger.14:53
luisbgI agree14:54
luisbgrebundancy in menus is a big "no-no"14:54
luisbgbasic users dont need more "confusion" in the menu14:55
seb128well those are different actions14:56
seb128one is to open the gui the other one the easy nautilus burn location14:56
seb128but having 2 items in the applications menu is confusing14:57
seb128we will probably just hide this entry14:57
_MMA_Especially when the "CD/DVD Creator" looks to be part of Brasero because of the same icon.14:57
seb128not sure if we should get the places menu entry back though14:58
luisbgplaces menu entry is very useful for basic users14:58
luisbgwhen they want to go to documents they go there14:58
luisbginstead of opening "file broswer" then looking for documents folder inside home14:59
luisbgI use it a lot in my multimedia machine myself :)14:59

seb128pitti: I just booted the current iso in kvm and I've 21 stations listed15:15

pittiseb128: hm, might be gconf cruft for me then15:16

asacseb128: the menu15:21
asacapplication -> sound -> ...15:21
asaclet me check something15:22
asacseb128: so ... moving to different workspace and closing there doesnt change the workspace it starts on15:23
asacseb128: maybe its something that got saved by session shutdown?15:23
seb128asac: I've no such issue, maybe you are using a special compiz option or something?15:23
kenvandine_wkit would be cool if fusa set status for ekiga as well :)15:24
seb128asac: no, if that was gnome-session that would not impact on menu opening15:24
seb128asac: and rhythmbox only restore the notification status not the workspace on closing15:25
asachmm15:25
asacodd15:25
vuntzasac: I'd blame metacity15:29
vuntzasac: if you saved your session once, it tries to match windows when they are opened against what got saved, iirc15:29
vuntz(if you're using compiz, it might be the same thing)15:30
brycecalc, thanks15:32
asacvuntz: yeah. that was my idea: session manager saved something in the past it doesnt safe anymore - or at least it doesnt get removed if i dont have it running on log out15:34
asacvuntz: do you know where metacity/compiz stores such things?15:34
vuntzasac: ~/.config/metacity/15:37

rickspencer3next is cv-rev16:40
* rickspencer3 hands mic to pitti16:40
pittiso, as you guys might have noticed, the QA team recently started to assign bugs to canonical-desktop-team16:40
seb128yeah, I did notice ;-)16:41
pittithey are helping us with wading through the incoming stream, identify regressions and high-urgency bugs, etc.16:41
pittithis might have stirred some confusion16:41
pittithe intention is that they help us thin the flood into a small stream which we can handle16:41
* rickspencer3 "might" = "did"16:41
pittithe idea is *not* that by getting such a bug, we are obliged to fix them all16:41
pittibut that we need to look at them with an expert eye and decide whether it's an actual RC issue we should work on16:42
pitti(case 1)16:42
* kenvandine_wk being the new guy thought that was just biz as usual :)16:42
pittior whether it's not an urgent/worthwhile bug after all (case 2)16:42
pittiin case (2), the bug should get unassigned again, and tagged "ct-rev"16:42
pittilike "canonical team reviewed"16:42
pittiso that it's not tossed back to us again16:43
pittiin case (1), it needs to get a proper assignee16:43
pittiwith my TL hat, I started to review them, reject a few of them, and assign some of them to some of you16:43
pittiI try to spread them equally16:43
pittitwo things:16:43
pitti- Please let me know of if you have too many, by reassigning them to canonical-desktop-team16:43
pitti- Please let me know if you would like me to continue doing that bug assignment16:44
pittior whether you'd rather grab them from the queue yourself16:44
seb128as long as I don't get compiz bugs assigned to me I'm fine with assignement ;-)16:44
rickspencer3lol16:44
kenvandine_wkhehe16:44
pittiwell, sooner or later we need to get someone who maintains compiz16:44
kenvandine_wkpitti: is there a filter for bugs we can pick from?16:44
kenvandine_wkas we have time16:44
seb128I've seen mvo fall into this one, I'm not going to do the same error ;-)16:45
* bryce dittos seb12816:45
* kenvandine_wk nominates seb12816:45
pittikenvandine_wk: ~canonical-desktop-team/+assignedbugs ?16:45
pittikenvandine_wk: that's my second question actually16:45
crevetteit is new that meeting is hold here ?16:45
pittieither I take the task of making sure that this queue is always (mostly) empty16:45
seb128pitti: I suggesting trying to get mvo back to desktop team rather ;-)16:45
pittiand you work on your assigned bugs16:45
seb128crevette: no, every weeks for a few months16:45
brycecrevette: not very new...16:45
crevette...16:45
pittior it becomes a collective task, but then there will always be some things fall through the cracks16:45
pittiseb128: good idea16:46
rickspencer3for my part, I don't like bugs to be assigned to canonical-desktop-team for too long16:46
pitti^ ack16:46
rickspencer3so I review the bugs daily, and assign (to seb mostly)16:46
rickspencer3;)16:46
pittiteam assignments are mostly worthless16:46
pittithey are good as a queue for distributing, but not as a personal TODO list16:46
kenvandine_wkthere needs to be one  wrangler, imho16:46
seb128right16:46
pittiso, no objections against me or rickspencer3 doing the queue review?16:46
mvolol@seb12816:47
* seb128 hugs mvo16:47
kenvandine_wkand we can trade amongst ourselves as eneded16:47
pittithat too16:47
kenvandine_wkpitti: i am all for it16:47
brycepitti: fine by me16:47
pittias I said, if you feel that you can't work on something, toss it back to canonical-desktop-team16:47
rickspencer3In general, I would like the QA team to be quite liberal about putting bugs in our queue, which means that we have to be quite liberal about using ct-rev16:48
pittiand as a consequence, bugs on your +assignedbugs page are the ones you are really responsible for16:48
seb128rickspencer3: +116:48
pittirickspencer3: *nod*, up to a certain level, of course16:48
rickspencer3pitti: is there any reason people couldn't start using ct-rev on their current assigned list?16:48
pittirickspencer3: no, should be fine; it's meant for that16:48
pittibut it's only really necessary for things QA threw at us16:49
seb128do we have a list of things they raised?16:49
pittiif it helps you for your own bug management, feel free to use it, of course16:49
pittiseb128: no, I'm afraid, since we reassing those16:49
pittiwe could fish it out of the activity log, I guess, but that's some effort16:49
seb128ok, they don't use a tag for those16:49
kenvandine_wkmaybe they should tag them all as qa-gen16:50
pittirickspencer3: I'm done with that topic, I think16:50
kenvandine_wkqa generated16:50
seb128so basically once unassigned the ct-rev only means "don't bounce that back to ct"16:50
rickspencer3seb128: right16:50
pittiseb128: right, so that it doesn't appear in the QA bug distribution queue again16:50
pittithey have an eye on regression-*, etc.16:51
rickspencer3to close, on this ... I think this is a good first step to good bug "hygiene" in Karmic ...16:51
rickspencer3where our bug list is limited to bugs that we intend to (not commit to) fixing in a particular release16:51
rickspencer3this is something that we should all discuss as a team, though16:51
rickspencer3thanks pitti!16:52
rickspencer3next topic is also pitti: ekiga 3.2 after beta?16:52

kenvandine_wkme thinks so16:52
seb128doit!16:52
pittiso, kenvandine_wk packaged the new ekiga, people asked about it16:52
kenvandine_wkthe deps are harmless... nothing else uses it16:52
pittikenvandine_wk and I have tested it a bit now, and it looks good16:52
kenvandine_wkpeople have been using it out of my ppa16:52
pittithis time no configuration migration issues, etc.16:52
kenvandine_wkgood reports16:53

brycerickspencer3: thx16:53
pittibryce: I might bother you again this week about some RC bugs, but nothing too urgent from my side16:53
pittibryce: thanks, and good luck at the doctor!16:53
rickspencer3pitti: so is that decided?16:54
pittiseems theres' no objection16:54
rickspencer3moving on16:54
kenvandine_wkok, i will finish that up and get it sponsored16:54
pittikenvandine_wk: can you please make sure that the relevant bug has an upstream changelog and that ubuntu-release gets subscribed?16:54
pittikenvandine_wk: there's certainly an FFE involved16:54
kenvandine_wkubuntu-release?16:55
kenvandine_wkhow about ubuntu-main-sponsor?16:55
pittiyes, release team, for ack'ing FF exceptions16:55
kenvandine_wkok16:55
pittikenvandine_wk: after it gets ack'ed16:55
pittikenvandine_wk: as it happens, I'm a member of the release team :)16:55
pittibut it should go the official route16:55
rickspencer3next topic: OEM Swapperoo16:56
rickspencer3I've talked to pitti and calc about this16:56
rickspencer3and will now proceed to copy and paste from the wiki :)16:56
rickspencer3In order to facilitate better team to team communication and cooperation, 3 people from the platform team will be swapping roles with 3 people from OEM team for Karmic cycle.16:56
rickspencer3Our own calc has been nominated for this. (congrats calc). Goal is for calc to learn their processes and "walk a mile in their shoes", and bring that understanding back to platform team after Karmic. Desktop team will be getting an engineer from OEM team with the symetrical goals. We'll probably slow progress on OOo while calc is gone, distribute maintenance responsibilities for OOo during Karmic so that OEM engineer can have a bit 16:56
rickspencer3hmm16:57
rickspencer3I was kinda hoping for line breaks16:57
seb128urg16:57
rickspencer3I think it will be cool for calc, and us as well. seb128: concerns?16:57
seb128I never understood this "let's realloc people who are familiar with something to something new and do the same the other way around with other people too"16:58
pittiyeah, there was some friction between those two teams indeed16:58
seb128but I'm not a manager16:58
seb128let's see how it goes ;-)16:58
seb128that seems highly inefficient use of ressources to me16:58
pittiseb128: not necessarily, if it helps both of us to understand the other team better16:59
calcas i have discussed with Rick we will not be going to the OOo split build for Karmic since it is likely to have issues that someone unfamilar with OOo would have trouble with16:59
pittiright now, the communication between OEM and platform is far from efficient16:59
seb128well, I don't think that switching one person will solve that16:59
seb128but let's see16:59
seb128I'm happy to be proved wrong16:59
calcand I will be getting OOo 3.1.0 debs into the ppa for testing, it seems to have worked well for jaunty cycle16:59
seb128and I've no clue about management ;-)16:59
rickspencer3there are a total of three people, actually, just one from our team16:59
calcrickspencer3: can you disclose who the other two are?16:59
pitticalc: it sounds like an interesting adventure, but of course we'll only send people who volunteer; what's your initial gut feeling about the idea?16:59
rickspencer3calc: I would if I knew17:00
rickspencer3they're still discussing17:00
calcpitti: i think OOo is in decent shape now but does get quite a few bugs... i might need to do some work with the team (but small percentage of time) to make sure things go smoothly17:00
calcrickspencer3: ok17:00
pitticalc: I feel that'll apply in the other direction as well; I guess the three OEM guys can't completely let go of their existing customer communications, etc.17:02
rickspencer3calc: about 20% of your time will be allocated back to the desktop team to help with OOo, so you're not off the hook completely17:02
calcpitti: we are targeting 3.1.x which should be released mid next month for Karmic, hopefully a 3.1.1 will be out in a few months that is a bugfix release we can use as well17:02
rickspencer3:)17:02
pittibut we can learn what the OEM team needs in the long run17:02
calcrickspencer3: ok, i think 20% should make this doable :)17:02
pittiand they can learn how to properly get patches into ubuntu and upstream, the freezes, etc.17:02
calctriaging OOo bugs is a bit annoying but i am sure the desktop team can handle it ;-)17:02
rickspencer3lol17:02
seb128the oem guy will handle it17:02
seb128;-)17:02
pitticalc: we'll all give it to the OEM guy :)17:02
pittiseb128: we are so evil17:02
calcie if upstream hears anything about ubuntu without also mentioning you tested on their build they will close the bug immediately without even looking :\17:02
pittiseb128: no, he'll maintain compiz :-P17:02
rickspencer3btw, did anyone mention that calc got "New" OOo bugs down to zero at one point last week?17:02
calcpitti: lmao :)17:02
calcrickspencer3: still 0 now i think17:02

calconly 1 confirmed bug currently, i can't test due to the vmware amd64 brasero issue17:03
seb128calc: come on, you can sudo mv a file away no?17:03
rickspencer3I'm not sure what there is to discuss here, but we have quite a few bugs still targeted for Jaunty17:04
brycecalc: launchpadlib ftw?17:04
calcseb128: ah i will take a look at it later today/tomorrow once i get all my targeted bugs fixed for jaunty (only have 10 left)17:04
calcbryce: yea launchpadlib helped me make sure i had no more hidden bugs17:05

brycecalc: cool, yeah I've found it similarly useful :-)17:05
* robert_ancell working on 33999317:05
calcrickspencer3: but as seb128 mentioned if we can't get it fixed we should tell testers to move the brasero lib out of the way17:05
bryceok, bbiab17:05
calcrickspencer3: er can't get it fixed in time for beta cd i mean17:05
calcbryce: thanks17:06
rickspencer3well, since it looks like they already spun the first beta cd, that's kinda taken as read :)17:06
seb128calc: it's not happening for lot of people, I told you yesterday17:06
* asac reads backlog17:07
calcseb128: not happening on vmware for a lot of people, i meant to tell testers who use vmware to move it, it seems all the people complaining about this are using vmware17:07
pitticalc: at this time it's fairly unlikely that we'll respin, especially since it doesn't seem to happen everywhere17:07
seb128calc: and it's fixed to svn already and robert_ancell was backporting the fix before the meeting17:07
pittiI did two test isntalls in kvm and two on real iron without any hitch17:07
pittiso if we fix it immediately after beta, so people can dist-upgrade17:07
seb128I never ran into this one on 2 real boxes and some kvm installs17:07
calcyea it seems this bug may only be showing up in cases where people are doing testing via vmware (not sure why...)17:07
pittiit should be good enough17:08
* calc should setup kvm now that he has hardware that supports it (the virt flag)17:08
rickspencer3nothing else for release status?17:09
calcrickspencer3: i have a bug that i think asac was looking into yesterday but i don't know his status, bug 27128317:10

pittiI did another thorough RC bug review last week17:10
pittiand although the counter keeps growing, it does that because we get more new bugs17:11
pittibut we do fix old ones, so it's going well17:11
asaccalc: one question i didnt ask yesterday. does ooo ship their own cairo?17:11

pittimeh, that's something new18:15
seb128right18:18

mvoasac: not forgoten18:33
didrocksseb128: what is this retracer? the LP upstream bug watcher/synchronizer?18:46
seb128didrocks: no, the thing which goes through crashes sent using apport and retrace those in a debug version18:47
didrocksseb128: if I understand correctly, it has some kind of playground to replay a crash catched by apport, installing a -dbg package?18:48
seb128didrocks: man apport-retrace18:48
didrocksseb128: thanks :)18:48
pittiseb128: ok, thanks18:48
pittiseb128: I'll debug them in a quieter moment then18:49
seb128didrocks: the retrace is basically a bot doing apport-retrace on all the crashes sent18:49
seb128pitti: thanks18:49

asaccalc: for me the xref thing isnt good enough to find the real font code18:53
asacwhich tree is it in most likely?18:54
calcasac: was what Mike mentioned about gnome adding the lcdfilter option to the Xrm database doable? i didn't really understand what he talking about18:54
calcasac: if you want to see what the code looks like ubuntu builds you would need to start a build and kill it after the patches are applied18:55
calcasac: its a combination of upstream and patches applied from svn.gnome.org ooo-build/branches/ooo-build-3-0-118:55
asaccalc: yes. that makes a bit of sense18:55
asacbut the real problem is that ooo seems to do something really wrong18:56
calcasac: the patch that added cairo support appears to be integrated into upstream directly now, but there may still be patches in ooo-build that are affecting how it works18:56
calcoh? :\18:56
asaccalc: i refered to the Xrm database thing18:56

pittiasac: es, fakeroot and fakechroot19:22
asacpitti: what does fakechroot do? does it overload libc too?19:22
pittiasac: I haven't looked at all on this hang yet, so I'm afraid there's not much I can say19:22
pittiasac: yes, it chroots everything19:22
pittiasac: if you want, you can log into them19:23
asacpitti: is there such a chroot where i could chroot into even?19:24
pittiasac: ssh ronne19:24
asacok19:24
asaci am in there ;)19:24
pittidchroot -q -c intrepid19:26
pitticd /home/ubuntu-archive/apport-retracer-amd6419:26
pitti. environ19:26
pittiapport-chroot login chroots/jaunty.tar.gz19:26
calcasac: so you want me to run those three commands on a system that shows the problem, or just on my system in general?19:26
pittiasac: this should work for you ^19:27
asacpitti: ok. let me try19:28
calcasac: also are those commands complete, i just see eg pango-view -t "FT2   (not even closed quotes)19:28
asacpitti: intrepid?19:28
asactrying19:28
pittiasac: independently of this, it's a handy method if you need a quick chroot with super-fast archive bandwidth for testing something19:28
asacoh ... thats great ;)19:28
pittiasac: yes, it's in the intrepid dchroot; that runs both the intrepid and jaunty fakechroots19:28
asacpitti: does it create that at a tmp place?19:29
pittiasac: we have one for i386 as well19:29
asacor do i need to change in a new dir?19:29
pittiasac: yes; it's maintained as a tarball, and unpacked into /tmp19:29
asacok19:29
pittiasac: once you exit it, it'll be thrown away19:29
asacah ... good to know19:29
asacso better use a screen if connection is flaky ;)19:29
pittiasac: if you want to save it, you can unpack it somewhere in your ~ and give that path to apport-chroot19:30
pittiasac: i. .e apport-chroot accepts a tar.gz or a directory as argument19:30
asacok. i think its already more than i can remember ;)19:30
asacif i need details i will just ask on demand :)19:30

mccannheya folks19:34
seb128hi mccann19:36
seb128asac: I can confirm than running "/usr/bin/xulrunner-1.9.1 --gre-version" there hangs19:36
mccanndoes the ux team have a separate channel or is this the place?19:36
bratschedx team?19:38

calcasac: ping19:41
seb128calc: I think he's looking at the retracers issue19:42
calcseb128: ok19:42
* calc will just follow up to the bug so he can see what i found19:42
asacpitti: can you somewhat refuse to do retraces where 1.9.1 is involved?19:47
seb128asac: we can probably hack that yes19:48
seb128asac: did you figure what is wrong or do you think it will take a while before you can debug it and we should better workaround for now?19:48
asacseb128: the problem is a deadlock of jemalloc if fakeroot or aoss or other libc wrappers are involved19:50
asaci know about that issue. its interesting that it pops up now though19:50
asacespecially because xulrunner-1.9.1 installs properly on the builders19:50
asacfor firefox-3.119:50
asachmm ... the builders probably dont run in fake environment19:51
asacso makes sense19:51
asacseb128: i would love to debug it in the build roots instead of uploading a hack for it now19:51
asacdepends on how hard disabling xul 1.9.1 would be19:51
asacif its more than like a few minutes i will fix that tomorrow19:52
asacby dont using --gre-version19:52
seb128asac: wait for pitti replies but I except that ignoring xulrunner crashes is a one liner to hack temporarly in the retracers19:53
seb128asac: the hack will be overwritten in the next apport update though probably so still good to fix when you have time for that19:53
asacseb128: yes. i will fix it latest tomorrow evening. i just would like to debug tomorrow a bit before uploading new xulrunner19:54
seb128asac: ok thanks that's fine19:54
asacif you can even live with hanging retracers for a day thats even simpler i guess19:54
seb128those are only retracers if they don't run for a day that's no issue19:54
asacgood ;)19:55
seb128we have enough bugs waiting to be triaged ;-)19:55
asaclol19:55
asaci think they should be on when beta gets out19:55
seb128well, no retracer doesn't mean we don't collect bugs19:56
seb128the backlog will be retraced19:56
seb128but right, better to retrace while the versions are still current19:56
seb128time to go to the pub19:56
seb128see you later19:56
pittiasac: oh, so you saw that hang before?20:07
pittiasac: I'll see to temporarily ignoring them tomorrow morning20:08
pittidinner time, and then I'll be off for the evening20:08
pittiasac: thanks!20:08
