| pitti | Good morning | 07:03 |
| YokoZar | pitti: good morning | 09:00 |
| pitti | hey YokoZar, how are you? | 09:00 |
| YokoZar | I'm finding myself swept up in a whole bunch of exciting things pre-UDS. I might be arriving with 2 pandora consoles to show around, for instance | 09:00 |
| pitti | Pandora? | 09:01 |
| YokoZar | It's a handheld mobile device with gaming controls that was designed by the community in an open fashion | 09:01 |
| YokoZar | It's got a powerful enough (ARM) chip to run a bunch of emulators and free games as well | 09:01 |
| YokoZar | It's basically exactly the kind of device I think of when I go "Ubuntu-mobile" | 09:02 |
| pitti | frozen bubble to go? | 09:03 |
| YokoZar | Exactly ;) (actually, they even have a picture of it playing frozen bubble on their front page) | 09:03 |
| YokoZar | http://www.openpandora.org/ | 09:04 |
| geser | do you really think it's a good idea to bring to UDS? /me sees the devs making a frozen bubble tournament at UDS :) | 09:05 |
| YokoZar | Also I got some nice feedback on this blog post: http://yokozar.org/blog/archives/48 (there's a python script I made that you can play with for modeling Wine development. It also makes pretty charts) | 09:06 |
| pitti | geser: we traditionally have had one anyway :) | 09:10 |
| seb128 | pitti: thanks for accepting the gvfs and nautilus uploads ;-) | 09:26 |

| YokoZar | so, a serious question about file-roller opening self-extracting executables: do people actually use this feature? | 09:31 |
| YokoZar | Right now file-roller is associated with .exe over and above Wine, although I suspect the likely use case for getting files from .exe with file-roller is rather limited (and, incidentally, Wine might work just as well in some of those cases since they probably want the files in the virtual windows install) | 09:32 |
| Tm_T | I agree | 09:33 |
| seb128 | that seems again a case where you seem to want to advantage wine over installed default applications | 09:33 |
| seb128 | those are standard zip with some code to be unpacked without an another software right? | 09:34 |
| seb128 | seems a better idea to open those in file-roller than running a microsoft emulation code to do the unpacking | 09:35 |
| mvo | ideally the mime magic would detect whats a zip/exe and what is a stock exe | 09:39 |
| Tm_T | hmmm | 09:42 |
| Tm_T | ideally, but is it currently possible? | 09:42 |
| === eeejay_afk is now known as eeejay | ||
| YokoZar | Tm_T: not with current shared-mime-info, but in principle it's doable | 09:45 |
| Tm_T | interesting | 09:46 |
| seb128 | why not with the current shared-mime-info? | 09:46 |
| seb128 | how is that doable and why would prevent shared-mime-info to work there? | 09:47 |
| YokoZar | seb128: no one's written the magic ;) | 09:47 |
| seb128 | ok, so it's doable just not done yet | 09:47 |
| seb128 | which is different | 09:47 |
| seb128 | so I guess that's where you want to start, get different mimetype for magically zips and installers | 09:47 |
| YokoZar | Well what I mean is we can't just have a patch for fileroller that says "open archive-exe's" and one for wine that says "open else .exe"'s until we write that, yeah | 09:48 |
| YokoZar | I'm wondering if this mime magic will be enough though - it depends where the user wants it unpacked. If they just want the files on their desktop, it might be a bit easier in file-roller, although wine can point to the user's home folder/desktop too. If they want the files to automatically go to some default location (sometimes specified by the exe itself, eg installing a patch for a windows program), then they really | 09:49 |
| seb128 | your text displayed until "then they reall" and it cut | 09:51 |
| seb128 | I think it's fine to open autozip in file-roller, that's ubuntu not a microsoft OS, wine is nice for some things but should not be the default when we have a linux alternative | 09:52 |
| YokoZar | If they want the files to automatically go to some default location (sometimes specified by the exe itself, eg installing a patch for a windows program), then they really should be opening it with Wine. | 09:54 |
| seb128 | they can right click and pick wine if they really want to do that | 09:54 |
| seb128 | that seems rather a corner case | 09:54 |
| YokoZar | Yeah, but I suspect opening .exe with file-roller is a corner case too | 09:55 |
| seb128 | having exe under linux is a cornercase, agreed | 09:56 |
| YokoZar | There is a nice thing here to think about - if someone has installed Wine then they probably have Windows applications, which means when they're opening that self extracting archive they are more likely to be applying it to the wine install rather than just taking files | 09:57 |
| seb128 | having something installed on a box doesn't mean that you are using it | 09:58 |
| YokoZar | Well I should perhaps say "have wine installed and have a ~/.wine made" | 09:58 |
| seb128 | I'm using no microsoft binaries for sure, that doesn't mean I don't want wine available for some other users | 09:58 |
| YokoZar | Well if you're opening a .exe you're using a microsoft binary ;) | 10:01 |
| seb128 | YokoZar: depends of what you call "using", I'm not running microsoft code by opening a zip in this format in file-roller for example ;-) | 10:02 |
| seb128 | anyway let's not get sidetracked | 10:02 |
| seb128 | we need a way to change the default handler when installing extra softwares or to have priorities, the oem team has request that too already | 10:03 |
| YokoZar | You're not using microsoft code opening something with Wine either ;) -- but yeah, the question is more about what the user is expecting | 10:03 |
| seb128 | ie when you buy a DVD player you expect that to be used by default when installed | 10:03 |
| seb128 | that's a similar case | 10:04 |
| YokoZar | I think it would be reasonable to have Wine take over the default for .exe once it's installed, yeah | 10:04 |
| seb128 | we just don't have this mechanism right now | 10:04 |
| seb128 | but that will probably be discussed at uds | 10:04 |
| YokoZar | Cool :) | 10:04 |
| seb128 | having priorities or something would be nice | 10:04 |
| YokoZar | Glad I'm going ;) | 10:04 |
| YokoZar | priorities other than the user's manual settings that is | 10:04 |
| seb128 | ie wine would have a higher priority than file-roller for those mimetype for example | 10:04 |
| seb128 | so when installed it would be used | 10:05 |
| seb128 | the static list we have now doesn't allow dynamic changes this way | 10:05 |
| asac | calc: thats odd. does rebooting help? | 10:11 |
| seb128 | mvo: hey | 10:41 |
| seb128 | mvo: could you have a look to bug #349523? | 10:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 349523 in gnome-utils "The package cache file is corrupted" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/349523 | 10:41 |
| mvo | seb128: sounds like packagekit ;) | 10:42 |
| * mvo looks | 10:42 | |
| seb128 | mvo: you say that from the error message? | 10:42 |
| seb128 | mvo: the description says update-manager or synaptic | 10:42 |
| mvo | seb128: yes, its a race condition apparently, packagekit (running in the background) opens the cache when a synaptic update happend (e.g. when people click on "reload" in update-manager). I uploaded a workaround but it got rejected unfortunately | 10:43 |
| seb128 | oh ok | 10:43 |
| mvo | seb128: I will try that again via sru and work on the actual locking race problem then | 10:43 |
| seb128 | can you reassign where it's appropriate? | 10:44 |
| mvo | why is it reported against gnome-utils? | 10:44 |
| mvo | sure | 10:44 |
| seb128 | mvo: thanks! | 10:44 |
| seb128 | mvo: because submitters pick random packages I expect | 10:44 |

| * mvo duplicated it now | 10:47 | |
| seb128 | mvo: danke | 10:47 |
| mvo | we have a brasero held-back on upgrade :/ | 10:47 |

| rickspencer3 | kenvandine_wk: you were getting no freezes on your i695, right, and also the repro.sh didn't cause a freeze, right? | 13:05 |
| kenvandine_wk | right | 13:05 |
| kenvandine_wk | i also ran repro.sh while i was at lunch... for an hour no freezes | 13:05 |
| rickspencer3 | okay | 13:06 |
| rickspencer3 | just trying to get a list | 13:06 |
| kenvandine_wk | and last night i installed jaunty on a neighbors laptop with a GMA965 | 13:06 |
| rickspencer3 | and? | 13:06 |
| kenvandine_wk | and i ran the script | 13:06 |
| kenvandine_wk | no freezes | 13:06 |

| seb128 | Ampelbein: no it doesn't, the fix touch only the smbbrowse backend code not the smb one | 13:06 |
| rickspencer3 | kenvandine_wk: in the future, would they allow you to test with their computer? | 13:06 |

| kenvandine_wk | rickspencer3: perhaps... it belongs to ibm :) | 13:07 |
| rickspencer3 | heh | 13:07 |
| kenvandine_wk | rickspencer3: it was an extra laptop he had in his office and wanted to see the latest bling :) | 13:07 |

| kenvandine_wk | so brought it home... not sure how long he will have it | 13:07 |
| kenvandine_wk | good reports from him though... he said ubuntu is getting close to good enough for him to replace OSX on his mac book :) | 13:09 |

| kenvandine_wk | yeah | 13:11 |
| kenvandine_wk | good list to have | 13:11 |
| kenvandine_wk | my desktop 965 was very problematic earlier in the cycle... but super stable now | 13:11 |
| rickspencer3 | kenvandine_wk: right, bryce did quite a good job solving -intel issues, but this last freeze is a tough nut to crack | 13:16 |
| rickspencer3 | my i945 based eeePC is smoking fast | 13:17 |
| rickspencer3 | running Jaunty on this netbook is very smooth, and not just considering graphics | 13:17 |

| seb128 | yeah it rocks on my laptop too | 13:18 |
| seb128 | and I'm happy we don't have update-notifier nagging me about compiz being to update since I don't want to do that ;-) | 13:19 |
| asac | bryce: is there any news on poulsbo drivers in jaunty for those nasty new intel chipsets that dont work at all? | 13:21 |
| asac | mpt: do we also have a spec for the network connection setup wizard or is that done as part of the inviting spec (i would think it should be two specs) | 13:26 |
| asac | mvo: is there some trick that would do something like apt-get install --reinstall-with-purge ? ... its always cumbersome to reset configs for stuff that has rdepends because you cannot --purge it | 13:42 |
| mpt | asac, sabdfl is unsure about the idea of having a separate setup assistant. We could just open Network Manager's "Network Connections" window instead. | 13:43 |
| mvo | asac: yes, give me a sec | 13:43 |
| asac | mpt: well yeah. i think we should really make tht connection editor more powerful so it can also be a useful wizard | 13:44 |
| mvo | asac: apt-get install --reinstall -o apt::get::purge=true foo | 13:44 |
| mvo | asac: (not tested though) | 13:44 |
| asac | mvo: heh fun. you rock. this should be a top level option ;) | 13:44 |
| asac | at least until we find why our config files are always touched | 13:45 |
| asac | mvo: maybe we can misuse apparmor to log access to config files? | 13:45 |
| asac | in that way we could finally track down which packages touch configs deliberately? | 13:45 |
| mvo | assa: what conffile is currently prompting | 13:46 |
| mvo | ? | 13:46 |
| asac | mvo: i am asac ;) ... nothing special i just wondered because this pops-up regularly | 13:47 |
| asac | and its always hard for me to explain users how to reset their configs | 13:49 |
| * mvo nods | 13:51 | |
| seb128 | asac: I usually don't get too many conffiles prompts, users having issue probably edit files by hand | 13:52 |
| asac | seb128: thats one theory. however, i always got a bunch of prompts for files i didnt even know ;) | 13:52 |
| seb128 | asac: those are bugs ;-) | 13:53 |
| asac | right. but the source is unknown :( | 13:53 |
| asac | hence i wondered if i could log all config file accesses using apparmor ;) | 13:53 |
| seb128 | "we are watching you" | 13:54 |
| seb128 | we mean it! | 13:54 |
| asac | heh | 13:54 |
| seb128 | ;-) | 13:54 |
| seb128 | and display a notify bubble when they edit a file | 13:54 |
| asac | yeah :) | 13:54 |
| seb128 | "you are touching a conffile file, don't do that" | 13:54 |
| asac | you can even indicate that ;) | 13:54 |
| asac | "push here to revert your change" | 13:54 |
| seb128 | let's bring the actions back, that's clearly a case where we need those ;-) | 13:55 |
| asac | lol ... i thought it would be worth to add that into the indicator ;) | 13:55 |
| asac | the ability to reset is too important to just disappear after a while | 13:55 |
| asac | sometimes i think it would be easier to disable this whole conf file mechansism on desktop installs (except for a few cases that we know are frequently changed) | 13:56 |
| seb128 | dammit, ted is not around right now | 13:56 |
| asac | deesktop users just dont have any business with editing conffiles imo | 13:56 |
| kenvandine_wk | seb128: probably in a few minutes... | 13:56 |
| seb128 | right, it's often issues rather than benefit | 13:56 |
| asac | damn. we wanted to get that feature into jaunty still ;) | 13:57 |
| asac | and ted sleeps | 13:57 |

| pmatulis | haven't tried that but i'm mostly wondering why i'm not being prompted to authenticate | 14:46 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: let me try there | 14:49 |
| pmatulis | seb128: using 8.10 btw | 14:50 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: do you use the "set as default" or "set as mandatory" in gconf-editor? | 14:50 |
| pmatulis | seb128: there are two entries in PK for gconf, i have them both set to "No, No, Admin Authentication" | 14:50 |
| pmatulis | seb128: one moment for your question | 14:51 |
| seb128 | right, same values there | 14:51 |

| seb128 | - select the "set as mandatory" menu item in the menu? | 14:57 |
| pmatulis | yup, and chossing either mandatory or default does yield a prompt | 14:57 |
| pmatulis | choosing | 14:57 |
| seb128 | hum ok | 14:57 |
| seb128 | do you get any error on the command line where you run gconf-editor? | 14:58 |
| seb128 | maybe you entered a password for that once before and it kept the credential? | 14:58 |
| pmatulis | no, it would show up in policykit | 14:58 |
| pmatulis | down below | 14:58 |
| seb128 | and policykit works fine for other applications? | 14:59 |
| pmatulis | seems to, like a test with changing system time | 14:59 |
| pmatulis | of changing policykit itself | 15:00 |
| pmatulis | or changing | 15:00 |
| pmatulis | question: without right clicking (on gconf key) what is being used, mandatory or default? | 15:01 |
| seb128 | ok | 15:01 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: you can see the priority order in /etc/gconf/2/path | 15:01 |
| seb128 | mvo: do you have an intrepid box handy in a vm or somewhere to try that? | 15:01 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: but basically it's mandatory > user_config > default | 15:02 |
| pmatulis | bonus question, i read somewhere it is possible to propogate gconf settings across network nodes | 15:04 |
| pmatulis | method? | 15:04 |
| mvo | seb128: yes | 15:04 |
| * mvo fires up kvm | 15:04 | |
| seb128 | dunno about networking, there is a ldap backend in gconf but I don't know if anybody is using it and how well it's working | 15:04 |
| seb128 | mvo: thanks | 15:05 |
| mvo | seb128: what then? I have a kvm running now | 15:12 |
| pmatulis | mvo: open policykit and gconf editor, then put "No, No, Admin Authentication" for both gconf entries | 15:16 |
| seb128 | let's not get confused | 15:16 |
| pmatulis | ? | 15:16 |
| seb128 | mvo: start by trying to set a mandatory gconf key is gconf editor | 15:16 |
| seb128 | and see if you get a policykit password prompt there | 15:16 |
| seb128 | before touching any policykit config | 15:16 |
| seb128 | to see if the default install works | 15:16 |
| seb128 | then we can figure config differences | 15:17 |
| mvo | seb128: when I right-click and say "set as mandatory" it says I'm not allowed to, no policykit prompt (this is a default install) | 15:20 |
| mvo | seb128: details says "No database available ..." | 15:20 |
| asac | calc: are you on yet? | 15:22 |
| seb128 | mvo: ok, so that's buggy on intrepid apparently | 15:24 |
| seb128 | mvo: where do you have those details? | 15:24 |
| Ampelbein | seb128: hi. do you think bug #270976 would qualify for SRU? it's a bit difficult since as long as bug 351017 isn't published, users with non-p4 machines will run into a SIGILL-crash. | 15:27 |

| seb128 | mvo: I doubt of it, it's not working for pmatulis either that's why we started the discussion | 15:29 |
| Ampelbein | seb128: ok, i will change the bug description then to supply information for SRU procedure | 15:29 |
| seb128 | Ampelbein: thanks | 15:29 |
| mvo | hm, jaunty give me a PK prompt (but in a regular system, not a VM) | 15:29 |
| seb128 | mvo: right, me too, that's why I asked you to try on jaunty | 15:30 |
| pmatulis | i'm testing on metal here | 15:30 |
| seb128 | I will try on a jaunty VM now to see if VM makes a difference | 15:30 |
| seb128 | it might simply be buggy in intrepid and nobody noticed | 15:30 |
| seb128 | you use the interface for the "set system proxy" though so that's weird | 15:30 |
| mvo | seb128: right, but I talk to dbus directly | 15:32 |
| mvo | seb128: maybe gconf-editors dbus interfacing code is just buggy (or not activated?) | 15:32 |
| seb128 | yeah, could be | 15:34 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: ok, that seems buggy and require debugging and fixed in intrepid if you need that fixed in intrepid | 15:34 |
| seb128 | fixed -> fixing | 15:34 |
| pmatulis | seb128: i'll open a bug then | 15:35 |
| pmatulis | anything special you want me to include? | 15:35 |
| asac | anyone has similar issues with middle mouse click? for me it only works like 1 out of 10 times | 15:38 |
| asac | i notice that for pasting and for clicking links in ffox (e.g. to open link in new tab) | 15:38 |
| asac | ok seems my mouse is just broken :( | 15:40 |
| asac | works with my trackball | 15:40 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: no need of details, open a bug on gconf-editor saying that you use intrepid and that setting mandatory settings doesn't work there | 15:43 |
| seb128 | pmatulis: I will close it as fixed in jaunty and open a low priority intrepid task | 15:43 |

| mvo | pmatulis: in what way is it bad? | 15:50 |
| pmatulis | mvo: corrupt, garbage characters, user had bad ram | 15:51 |
| mvo | pmatulis: with enough force of will I guess that is possible, a script would have to reconstruct it based on the content of /var/lib/dpkg/info | 15:51 |
| mvo | pmatulis: if its just isolated garbage, just removing it might be enough | 15:51 |
| seb128 | mvo: zenity has the same error in the log and the only thing it's calling is scrollkeeper-update | 15:52 |
| mvo | pmatulis: it would be a fun project to write such a recovery tool, should not be too hard | 15:52 |
| seb128 | mvo: I hate those bugs, we really need a way to display what line or command is having the issue | 15:52 |
| mvo | seb128: didn't we remove scrollkeeper :) ? | 15:52 |
| mvo | seb128: sh -ex for everything! | 15:52 |
| pmatulis | mvo: ack on removing isolated garbage, thought there might be a better way | 15:52 |
| seb128 | mvo: we install rarian-compat which has a scrollkeeper-update and people can still install scrollkeeper instead if they equivalents | 15:52 |
| seb128 | "if they equivalents" -> "if they want since they are equivalents" | 15:53 |
| mvo | pmatulis: my fingers are itching to hack on a script for it, but there is a release to make :) | 15:53 |

| pmatulis | mvo: maybe i can start something, what commands should i be looking at? | 15:53 |
| seb128 | I once had a corrupted status, I'm wondering if I didn't manage to rebuild it using dselect | 15:54 |
| seb128 | that was years ago when still using debian I think, I'm not sure now ;-) | 15:54 |
| mvo | pmatulis: it would have to go over every list file in /var/lib/dpkg/*.list, look into the apt cache for matching package, use the apt record to put the data into the same format, add the "status: " header. thats it. it should probably also generate dummy entries (just name, status) for stuff that is not available via the apt cache (e.g. because it was locally installed) | 15:55 |
| mvo | pmatulis: probably not perfect, but a should be a good start | 15:55 |
| calc | asac: sorry just saw your message | 15:57 |
| pmatulis | mvo: what commands should i be looking at? | 15:58 |
| mvo | pmatulis: it would probably have to be a custom python script, beside python-apt no external commands | 15:59 |
| asac | calc: yeah. so does that weird state persist after reoobt? | 15:59 |
| asac | reboot | 15:59 |
| pmatulis | mvo: darn, me only shell monkey | 15:59 |
| mvo | heh :) | 15:59 |
| calc | asac: will see what happens, be back in a couple minutes | 15:59 |

| mnemo | if I have the environment variable "LANG=en_DK.UTF-8" what does the "DK" part mean? because I got english language in ubuntu and I got swedish keyboard keyboard layout... i cant think of anything in my ubuntu which is supposed to be danish (DK) ?! | 20:00 |
| seb128 | mnemo: that's an english variant but there no translation for this one apparently | 20:07 |
| seb128 | mnemo: the locale definition might be different (ie different money format or clock being 12 or 24 hours etc) | 20:07 |
| mnemo | seb128: yeah but I think maybe there is a bug in ubiquity or something | 20:08 |
| mnemo | something automatically setup this for me | 20:08 |
| mnemo | i never choose danish formats etc and I wont want that | 20:09 |
| seb128 | mnemo: it's probably be based on the country language combo | 20:09 |
| mnemo | seb128: "system::administration::language support" is set to en_DK indeed | 20:09 |
| seb128 | which one did you select? | 20:09 |
| seb128 | are you sure you didn't click on the wrong line or something? | 20:09 |
| mnemo | but in the ubuntu install I selected "english" on every single choice except for "keyboard layout" (where I choose swedish) | 20:10 |
| mnemo | i might have selected Copenhagen for timezone though | 20:10 |
| mnemo | could that be it? | 20:10 |
| seb128 | could be | 20:10 |
| seb128 | ask on #ubuntu-devel to cjwatson or evan | 20:10 |
| seb128 | or in #ubuntu-installer | 20:10 |
| mnemo | mmkay | 20:10 |
| mnemo | thanks | 20:10 |
| seb128 | the keyboard is not revelant there | 20:10 |
| seb128 | the locale is a language country setting | 20:11 |
| mnemo | yup | 20:11 |
| seb128 | so they might be using the timezone as county too | 20:11 |
| seb128 | which is a simplication but what 95% of users wan t | 20:11 |
| seb128 | want | 20:11 |
| mnemo | yea | 20:12 |
| mnemo | even is offline but I will e-mail him and ask | 20:12 |
| mnemo | evan | 20:12 |
| davmor2 | mnemo: You can manually select what you want but on the whole language and timezone sets the default kb for those selections | 20:13 |
| === dpm_ is now known as dpm | ||
| mnemo | davmor2: what do you mean by "kb" ? | 20:22 |

| asac | nm crashes (thats the nm bug), but even without that hal comes back without all the net devices during upgrade, which obviously means for NM: no net devices ;) | 21:13 |
