thunderstruckif it does have a twitter acount it only errors on twitter if you remove that account it errors on indent.. me thinks that is bad12:47
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
gnomefreakah that eror was due to lost connection12:49
gnomefreaki dont have xulrunner 1.1.8 installed so it cant be that many rdepends on it that are not on 1.912:51
gnomefreak1.8.112:51
gnomefreakall of the rdepends work here so im confused12:52
gnomefreakmozilla-mplayer is not on 1.9 list but everything else is there, I dont see harm in removing it12:53
gnomefreakthe | means alterntive right?12:55
gnomefreaks/alterntive/alternative12:55
gnomefreakand mplayer has no depends on xul at all. I think someone was wrong on the rdepends for 1.812:57
gnomefreakwell i got it changed around to grab orig but now cvs errors13:25
gnomefreakfta2: asac can someone give me an idea on why date time are failing http://pastebin.mozilla.org/64188213:28

gnomefreakasac: thanks. binding?14:54
asacgnomefreak: pushed (rev 124)14:54
asacgnomefreak: that will take care that commits automatically get pushed to the branch14:54
gnomefreakoh cool14:54
asacso you would do a bzr bind lp:~gnomefreak/sunbird/ubuntu-0.x14:54
asacafter that every commit gets auto pushed14:55
asacprevents forgetting that14:55
gnomefreakworks for me thanks :)14:55
asacgnomefreak: please use topic branches in future14:55
asace.g. give it a good name instead of ubuntu-0.x14:55
gnomefreakah14:55
asace.g. use "ubuntu-0.9-0ubuntu114:55
asac"14:55
asacor something14:55
asacif the branch is about that version14:55
asacor use "lpXXXXXX" as branch name14:56
asacif it fixes a bug14:56
asacand so on14:56
gnomefreakmaking this 0.9 since it is last finial release :(14:57
asacwe already have 0.914:57
asac;)14:57
asacyou will figure14:57
* gnomefreak not really comfortible using 1.0b1 in offical archives14:57
asacjust choose a name that reflects the topic you are dealing with ;)14:57
asacgnomefreak: we wont get anything new for jaunty14:57
asacits karmic work14:57
gnomefreakasac: nor for KK14:58
asacand 1.0~b1 would be good enough i think14:58
gnomefreakasac: as a finial release?14:58
gnomefreakfinal even14:58
asacwell. we should check if its stable enough14:58
asacwe can send out a call for testing once we have the b1 package14:58
gnomefreaki will but somehow i doubt it since no work will be done to make it that way14:58
gnomefreakwe have to figure out how to use ./debian/rules get....  sinceit fails to work even to grab current14:59
gnomefreaki changed rules to work with it however it will grab 0.9 only and fails to do that with a date/time cvs error15:00
BUGabundoasac: hey15:02
BUGabundohow was the partying ?15:02
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
asacBUGabundo: improving sense of life ;)15:08
BUGabundoI bet15:08
BUGabundoup for some work? or enjoying the weekend?15:08
asacnot really sure what will follow. so cant tell ;)15:09
BUGabundoeeh15:12
BUGabundojust a friends laptop kubuntu and ndiswrapper not connecting to wifi15:12
BUGabundobut don't bother too much15:12
asacndiswrapper is a mess15:14
asaci dont think its maintained anymore15:14
BUGabundohumm ? really?15:15
asacnot sure ;)15:20
asacBUGabundo: i would say as long as its not a regression from intrepid there is only low chance to get it fixed15:21
BUGabundookay15:21
BUGabundohum he is on interpid15:21
BUGabundojaunty won't even boot on it.... not even disabling acpi15:21
* gnomefreak be back in ~ 1hour15:23
asacsounds bad15:24
BUGabundonot as bad as GKR dying on it self every 30 mins15:24
asacBUGabundo: where does it break? kernel panic? when?15:25
BUGabundothe other laptop? not sure... it tested it 2 weeks agot15:25
BUGabundotime to get a daily and test it again, when the guy gets back15:26
asacin the past when linux didnt boot it helped to upgrade bios15:29
asacactually for this abit board i filed a bug about that with abit and they fixed it in next update a few weeks later15:29
asacwhich was quite impressing ;)15:29
asacBUGabundo: but really. you should file a bug on behalf of the motherboard/whatever vendor for every bug you file here in ubuntu15:30
asacever computer should boot with linux15:31
asacits not black magic ;)15:31
asacnow its time for linux users to be vocal on hardware vendor side15:31
asaconly then they will change their attitude and test stuff with linux before shipping a crappy bios to the world15:31
asaci think its really a problem that most users and devs have accepted the previously true fact that hardware vendors dont care at all. now they think we have to fix everything on our own, while lots of users complaining would make them change their way of thinking i am sure.15:33
asacit doesnt really matter what you write. sending a mail that their hardware doesnt run with modern linux kernels should be enough if they get those frequently from all sides.15:34
BUGabundoasac: in my case it's a "white" brand! it has no manufacter per si, only the OEM casing15:40
BUGabundoin my case Asustek S37S15:41
BUGabundotry finding a contact for them or a BIOS upgrade15:41
asacBUGabundo: somebody usually assembles the boards. they are responsible for making the bios right16:18
BUGabundoyeah16:21
BUGabundobut I never found who or where16:21
asacBUGabundo: then send to whoever sells the OEM system16:29
asacusually its relabels16:29
BUGabundocan't! they were bought16:29
BUGabundoim not even sure the new owner even sells this brand16:29
BUGabundoehehe16:29
BUGabundohave to pass on the store one day16:29
BUGabundoasac: that laptop is a DELL17:29
BUGabundoLOLOL17:29
BUGabundoa 15xx17:29
BUGabundogetting a BIOS update for it17:29
asacBUGabundo: yeah try that17:35
asachttp://paste.ubuntu.com/148991/17:47
BUGabundoI still have much to learn on _your_ code17:48
asaclol17:49
asacthat paste was just for me17:49
asacso i dont loose it in case my system crashes ;)=17:49
BUGabundoeheheh17:55
BUGabundobzr ?17:55
BUGabundoand a few syncs?17:55
BUGabundoI do most of my code and docs on bzr17:55
BUGabundoeven .confs are there17:56
