| LordMetroid | Is Canonical doing most of the dev work themselves? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| calc | LordMetroid: dev work for what? | 00:03 |
| LordMetroid | Assembling the distribution... | 00:03 |
| calc | LordMetroid: some is done by canonical and some by community | 00:04 |
| calc | LordMetroid: there are many more community people than canonical people though | 00:04 |
| calc | LordMetroid: canonical people have the benefit of being able to work on it full time though | 00:04 |
| LordMetroid | Yes, but I can't seem to figure out where the main work is being done | 00:04 |
| pwnguin | its a little tough to tell; im given to understand canonical occasionaly contracts community members to do some work | 00:04 |
| directhex | depending on which news sources you believe, i'm apparently an evil microsoft plant | 00:04 |
| calc | and yes directhex is an evil Novell-Microsoftie ;-) | 00:05 |
| directhex | oh yeah, i love me some microsofts | 00:05 |
| calc | my OOo build worked, yipee | 00:05 |
| directhex | is it called OOOo yet? | 00:05 |
| pwnguin | LordMetroid: in one sense, the vast majority of Ubuntu is written by non-ubuntu people be it canonical or otherwise | 00:05 |
| calc | now to forward port all my OOo 3.0 patches to 3.1 | 00:06 |
| directhex | pwnguin, debian! | 00:06 |
| Amaranth | directhex: throw some of that microsoft cash my way :) | 00:06 |
| pwnguin | directhex: and the people who write the programs debian packages | 00:06 |
| LordMetroid | So I've tried to figure out where the decisions are being made now for a good 4 month but I can't seem to grasp it | 00:06 |
| directhex | ah, your question is a governance question | 00:06 |
| LordMetroid | yes, I think so | 00:06 |
| calc | maybe he means UDS decisions? | 00:07 |
| pwnguin | ubuntu is divided into "members" "developers" and "core developers" | 00:07 |
| directhex | and "annoying hanger-ons" | 00:07 |
| pwnguin | theoretically there isn't supposed to be a hierarchy like this | 00:07 |
| LordMetroid | UDS's where the decision are being made? | 00:08 |
| LordMetroid | I was thinking of going down to UDS in Barcelona | 00:08 |
| Amaranth | LordMetroid: UDS is where things are planned | 00:08 |
| pwnguin | UDS is one place where decisions are made | 00:08 |
| calc | most of them happen at UDS | 00:08 |
| Amaranth | LordMetroid: but the people doing the work make the decisions, basically | 00:08 |
| * directhex remembers to pack his ice beam & missiles | 00:08 | |
| LordMetroid | lol | 00:09 |
| pwnguin | LordMetroid: basically, anyone in core developers can upload to main/restricted | 00:09 |
| Amaranth | LordMetroid: So just because some people at UDS decide we're going to rewrite nautilus in scheme doesn't mean it'll get done | 00:09 |
| directhex | Amaranth, thank $EXPLETIVE | 00:10 |
| calc | directhex: instead you are going to rewrite it in mono, eh? ;-) | 00:10 |
| directhex | calc, damn straight! | 00:10 |
| LordMetroid | *facepalm* | 00:10 |
| ajmitch | calc: he's probably going to unveil that at UDS | 00:10 |
| directhex | calc, with winforms! | 00:10 |
| * Amaranth remembers when we almost decided to use xgl for FUSA | 00:10 | |
| pwnguin | LordMetroid: the CoC directs people to be collaborative, so they shouldnt really be abusing the powers to override any consensus | 00:11 |
| directhex | unless they're sabdfl | 00:11 |
| LordMetroid | CoC? | 00:11 |
| ajmitch | calc: don't forget, directhex's a fan of VB.NET as well :) | 00:11 |
| Amaranth | one Xserver with multiple xgl servers under it for each user and OpenGL effects for user switching | 00:11 |
| directhex | ajmitch, "fan of"? never written a line of it matey! | 00:11 |
| ajmitch | directhex: you try & hide it now... | 00:11 |
| Amaranth | then everyone would get compiz and we could do awesome transitions for user switching, logging out, etc | 00:11 |
| directhex | ajmitch, which sorta breaks the first rule of packaging... :/ | 00:11 |
| pwnguin | LordMetroid: in the event that no obvious consensus can be found, the technical board exists to handle things | 00:11 |
| LordMetroid | ok | 00:12 |
| Amaranth | I had that one specced and most people either saying it was a good idea or they weren't sure | 00:12 |
| pwnguin | !coc | 00:12 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 00:12 |
| Amaranth | thank goodness that didn't happen :P | 00:12 |
| RAOF | Amaranth: That would've been *awesome*. Apart from the death of upstream, of course. | 00:12 |
| Amaranth | RAOF: yeah, that was before upstream completely died | 00:12 |
| Amaranth | RAOF: we were going to get input redirection too! | 00:12 |
| directhex | know what i want? | 00:13 |
| ajmitch | a pony? | 00:13 |
| directhex | i want mouse sensitivity settings that can cope with mice >1000dpi | 00:13 |
| pwnguin | a gnome-panel that does intelligent layout? | 00:13 |
| directhex | and a pony | 00:13 |
| Amaranth | I want sharks with fricken laser beans | 00:13 |
| pwnguin | directhex: wacom has some ridiculusly high input resolution | 00:13 |
| Amaranth | err, beams | 00:13 |
| directhex | but i'm both allergic to horse hair and french, so if i could have that with chips... | 00:13 |
| LordMetroid | Death of Upstream, that seems really horrible! | 00:13 |
| Amaranth | who put those two keys so close together? | 00:13 |
| RAOF | Mmmm... laser beans. | 00:13 |
| ajmitch | pwnguin: I won't mention my hassles with gnome-panel & multiple displays then, I may break the CoC :) | 00:13 |
| directhex | pwnguin, the highest resolution consumer-grade mouse on the market is 5600dpi | 00:14 |
| LordMetroid | 5600dpi is nothing, I can move way less distance than that! | 00:14 |
| directhex | pwnguin, my mouse does 4000, and i need to lower it to 1500 for it to be remotely usable on ubuntu | 00:14 |
| LordMetroid | I move one pixel at a time! | 00:14 |
| * Amaranth spends $10 on a mouse | 00:15 | |
| Amaranth | so I doubt it does that :P | 00:15 |
| pwnguin | directhex: maybe its time to gift some x developers with high resolution mice ;) | 00:15 |
| directhex | Amaranth, the 5600dpi mouse is $130 | 00:15 |
| directhex | so... no | 00:15 |
| directhex | pwnguin, if i knew which specific person would guaranteed produce results, then i'd donate a reasonable high-dpi mouse | 00:16 |
| pwnguin | LordMetroid: wacom input resolution is like 20000x20000 | 00:16 |
| directhex | pwnguin, tablets != mice though | 00:16 |
| pwnguin | indeed | 00:16 |
| LordMetroid | I have a wacom from the 90s | 00:16 |
| pwnguin | anyways, i hope you have a better understanding of how decisions are made | 00:18 |
| pwnguin | locally, with the backing of consensus and oversight of community and technical boards | 00:18 |
| LordMetroid | Hmm, maybe one should find a place to stay in Barcelona before it is too late | 00:19 |
| LordMetroid | Yes, I have thank you very much pwnguin | 00:20 |
| directhex | i really don't remember where i put my euros | 00:20 |
| LordMetroid | euros chemrous, just use the plastic | 00:21 |
| directhex | aha, here on my desk | 00:21 |
| LordMetroid | Remember, do not drink the tap water, it does not contain your bacteria culture and from my experience of Spain, it is highly chlorated as well so you will become quite quizzy | 00:22 |
| directhex | i never drink the tap water when abroad. who knows what those funny foreigners have done to it | 00:24 |
| james_w | luckily the beer is fine | 00:26 |
| LordMetroid | All these people attending the UDS, they are like diehardcore distro developers? | 00:27 |

| directhex | well, never mind. i hopefully have enough euros that i won't taste it by the end | 00:28 |
| james_w | there's plenty of good lager and wine though | 00:29 |
| Amaranth | directhex: Do a couple shots first, you won't taste any of it :) | 00:32 |
| directhex | hm, i wonder if anyplace sells my favourite rum. i'm almost out! | 00:32 |
| directhex | is james_w going? | 00:33 |
| james_w | directhex: where? | 00:33 |
| directhex | james_w, uds! | 00:34 |
| james_w | of course! | 00:34 |
| james_w | UDS in Barcelona? I wouldn't miss that | 00:34 |
| LordMetroid | You think a general user of Ubuntu which merely is reporting bugs when he sees them has anything to contribute at the UDS? | 00:36 |
| LaserJock | I'd think it'd at least be nice to have some non-developer feedback for some things | 00:37 |
| Amaranth | LordMetroid: You may have some ideas or input that is useful | 00:37 |

| Ademan | this is somewhat offtopic I suppose, but it relates to a jaunty package (ushare) | 01:34 |
| Ademan | does anyone know why the pid stored in a pid file would consistently be two less than the actual pid of the daemon? (the daemon is being started by start-stop-daemon) If I had to guess I'd say the pid is from the bash instance that starts start-stop-daemon, rather than the instance of the daemon itself. Can anyone confirm this? | 01:34 |

| dholbach | (karmic amd64) | 07:41 |
| pitti | dholbach: might be what doko meant with tsconf promotion | 07:42 |
| dholbach | pitti: hm, not sure I get it - in any case it makes pbuildering / sponsoring anything to do with pango a bit tough :-) | 07:44 |
| pitti | right, it's uninstallable right now | 07:45 |
| pitti | doko: hm, tsconf is in main; what did you mean? | 07:45 |
| pitti | dholbach: what is the error? | 07:45 |
| persia | dholbach, If you're on amd64, you ought to be able to construct an i386 or lpia pbuilder environment, which might get around some of that class of issue (assuming it's arch-specific). | 07:46 |
| dholbach | persia: I dunno | 07:46 |
| dholbach | pitti: it tries to deinstall everything to do with pango :) | 07:46 |
| dholbach | ah | 07:48 |
| dholbach | it seems to need a newer libdatrie0 | 07:48 |
| dholbach | libdatrie0 0.1.3-2 is in the archive right now, libthai0 conflicts with libdatrie << 0.1.4 | 07:49 |
| dholbach | ah, maybe pango needs a rebuild against libdatrie | 07:50 |

| Omahn | Is it normal for the build servers to have over 5000 packages queue or is it just the recent opening of Karmic that's had such an affect? | 10:22 |
| maxb | Omahn: The buildds are still churning through the initial surge of autosynced packages that happens when the archive opens again after a release | 10:30 |
| Omahn | maxb: I'm guessing it normally settles after a week or so then? | 10:30 |
| maxb | lpia's already settled. At the current rate of progress amd64 and i386 should have caught up in another day or so | 10:31 |
| maxb | The other architectures are, I presume, building on slower hardware. | 10:32 |
| Omahn | I'm guessing all the build servers are internal to Canonical? | 10:32 |
| maxb | yes | 10:32 |

| dpm | I have tried to find the language-pack-gnome-mk-base from here -> https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-langpack/+archive/ppa?field.name_filter=mk&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=hardy , but they don't seem to be there. Is there a location where I can find those -base packages? | 12:51 |
| pitti | dpm: what do you mean by "find the packages"? | 12:52 |
| pitti | apt-get source? | 12:52 |
| pitti | dpm: what are you trying to do? | 12:52 |
| dpm | pitti: I'm trying to find out the status of a given translation for Hardy in a more or less accurate way. Therefore, I'm not looking at the Rosetta stats, but at the data from the last released langpacks. I've first gone the apt-get source way, but I noticed that depending on the language, a given translation had less strings than others, and in any case they seemed to differ from the Rosetta template. Then danilo told me that there is some | 13:00 |
| dpm | post-processing going on after the PO files are extracted from Rosetta (such as removal of duplicate strings) ... | 13:00 |
| pitti | dpm: apt-get source will give you the exact data that is shipped in a release | 13:01 |
| pitti | dpm: we don't do any post-processing _in_ the source packages' build process | 13:01 |
| pitti | just some to create these source packages | 13:01 |
| * pitti -> lunch, bbl | 13:02 | |
| dpm | pitti: ok, I'll ask you some more later, enjoy your meal! | 13:03 |
| slangasek | dpm: if you need answers sooner, there may be others in the channel who can help answer | 13:03 |

| ogra | god, when did the ArchiveAdministration wikipage grow so much | 13:04 |
| dpm | slangasek: thanks, I can wait. I think in the case of langpacks pitti and ArneGoetje are the experts, though | 13:04 |

| pitti | mdke: ah, I remember (sorry, too much SRU stuff this morning); this should be reopened, of course | 13:56 |
| slangasek | pitti: no, it shouldn't, it wasn't a bug in karmic at all | 13:57 |
| slangasek | the bug was "document includes an 'unreleased' watermark", and karmic isn't released... :) | 13:57 |
| pitti | slangasek: right, but it should be kept as a RC bug as a reminder to do it *before* karmic's release this time | 13:58 |
| dpm | pitti: thanks. Going back to the question: I'm trying to compare the status of the translation of e.g. gnome-terminal in two different languages. I see that in Rosetta the template has got 483 strings, and both translations are 100% complete. However, when I apt-get source the langpack for each language, one PO file has got 472 strings and the other 467. In any case, none of them has got the 483 strings from the original template. | 13:58 |
| dpm | pitti: 1) Why do the 100% translated PO files have a different number of strings and also differ in number from the Rosetta template? (I know that this does not pose any kind of problem, I'm just trying to understand why) | 13:59 |
| slangasek | pitti: I don't think a bug is the right way to track things that are supposed to be part of the release process | 13:59 |
| pitti | slangasek: if we move it there, that works for me as well | 13:59 |
| pitti | aside from the fact that I question the entire idea of this watermarking in the first place | 13:59 |
| pitti | after all, everything in karmic is a "draft" until we release | 14:00 |
| slangasek | I was rather surprised that this wasn't in the process checklists already | 14:00 |
| pitti | dpm: are you getting the ones from hardy-proposed, hardy-updates, or hardy final? | 14:00 |
| dpm | pitti: hardy-updates | 14:02 |
| pitti | mdz: http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#access-control is the initial documentation | 14:04 |
| geser | doko: do you know why python-distutils.mk from cdbs (karmic) renames dist-packages to site-packages? | 14:04 |
| pitti | mdz: there is an existing patch which adds ACLs for smartcard readers: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu/annotate/head%3A/debian/patches/02_smart_card_readers_acl.patch | 14:05 |
| doko | geser: what is python-distutils.mk? | 14:06 |
| geser | doko: /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk | 14:07 |
| doko | geser: see above, answered to pitti as well. packaging *.install files expect these in site-packages | 14:08 |
| mdz | pitti: thanks | 14:09 |
| mdz | pitti: what defines the meaning of access_control.type=smart-card-reader? | 14:10 |
| pitti | mdz: it's just a human readable identifier which binds together the policy (who has access) in the .policy file with the subject (device file, in the fdi) | 14:11 |
| geser | doko: do we still need to modify packages for the python2.6 transition with all this automatic renaming done by the different packaging helpers? | 14:12 |
| mdz | pitti: ah, and "active" and "inactive" in the .policy refer to active user and inactive user? | 14:13 |
| pitti | mdz: console session, but that by and large maps to user, yes | 14:13 |
| mdz | pitti: so access_control.type=foo maps to org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.foo ? | 14:13 |
| pitti | mdz: right | 14:13 |
| mdz | pitti: can you give me a hint as to whether I should create a new type or if an existing one is appropriate? | 14:14 |

| mdz | pitti: PDA seems to imply a palm-like sync interface though | 14:17 |

| mdz | this stuff is closest: | 14:18 |
| mdz | <!-- support for Linux USB stack where linux.device_file is set (e.g. device node is on the main usb device) --> | 14:18 |
| pitti | mdz: not necessarily, that's just there for the Pam/pocketpc ones | 14:18 |
| pitti | mdz: in that block, portable_audio_player is closest then | 14:19 |
| mdke | pitti: we use the watermark for the doc.ubuntu.com website too. But I agree with slangasek that a bug is not the right way to remember this, since it will happen in releases after karmic too. I think the best way is to include it on a -doc specific release process list | 14:20 |
| mdz | pitti: the text in org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.policy wouldn't really be accurate though. I don't know how big a problem that is | 14:20 |

| pitti | erm, mdz: ^ | 14:22 |
| pitti | DnaX: I don't have any IR devices, and I'm quite busy ATM, sorry | 14:22 |

| DnaX | pitti: I have it... and i've post a working patch for it! | 14:23 |

| pitti | kirkland: I am, yes :) | 16:43 |
| kirkland | pitti: currently, any user can created an encrypted-private dir | 16:43 |

| kirkland | pitti: users in the ecryptfs group can continue to "hide" data from root, but not everyone, necessarily | 16:45 |
| kirkland | pitti: i guess my question to you is, how would i solve this without a group? | 16:46 |
| kirkland | pitti: is this something that PolicyKit is cut out to do? | 16:46 |
| pitti | kirkland: you can add a PK check to ecryptfs.mount if you wanted to | 16:46 |
| kirkland | pitti: what does that look like? | 16:47 |
| pitti | kirkland: my main crusade was to stop people from using groups for device access | 16:47 |
| kirkland | pitti: ah! | 16:47 |
| pitti | kirkland: for your use case, a group is less evil | 16:47 |
| kirkland | pitti: so a group might actually be "okay" for this? | 16:47 |
| pitti | kirkland: but I don't think you'd want to deny it by default, do you? | 16:47 |
| kirkland | pitti: less evil, heh :-) | 16:47 |
| pitti | kirkland: well, adding a group is still an excuse for us to push work to an admin | 16:47 |
| kirkland | pitti: right, this is going to be a really tough one, particularly for upgrades | 16:47 |
| pitti | kirkland: upgrades> don't even think about it | 16:48 |
| pitti | kirkland: you can't add users to groups on upgrades | 16:48 |
| kirkland | pitti: ideally, there would be an existing group that we already use, that I could piggy back onto | 16:48 |
| kirkland | pitti: i think 'admin' is not the right one, though | 16:49 |
| kirkland | pitti: i think i might make it a really, really low priority debconf question | 16:49 |
| kirkland | pitti: "Do you want to restrict eCryptfs use to members of 'ecryptfs' only?" | 16:50 |
| kirkland | pitti: default in Ubuntu is "no" | 16:50 |
| pitti | kirkland: that wouldn't help us, though | 16:50 |
| kirkland | pitti: but fascist sysadmins can preseed that "yes", or change it later | 16:50 |
| pitti | kirkland: since you can't have a group "no-ecryptfs" | 16:50 |
| kirkland | pitti: well, i worded that question poorly | 16:51 |
| pitti | kirkland: seriously, a fascist sysadmin could just dpkg-statoverride mount.ecryptfs | 16:51 |
| kirkland | pitti: really, it's just about the setuid binary | 16:51 |
| kirkland | pitti: which is mount.ecryptfs_private | 16:51 |
| pitti | kirkland: no, but you want users who currently run ecryptsfs to continue to do so after an upgrade | 16:51 |
| kirkland | pitti: not the generic mount.ecryptfs | 16:51 |
| kirkland | pitti: right, which is why the question would be low priority, and the default value would be our current policy | 16:51 |
| kirkland | pitti: which would keep that setuid binary 4755 | 16:52 |
| kirkland | pitti: the fascists can make it 4750 | 16:52 |
| * kirkland decides that 'fascist' isn't particularly accurate, when describing this class of sysadmin | 16:52 | |
| pitti | kirkland: ah, I see | 16:53 |
| pitti | kirkland: but those kind of sysadmin can probably also use statoverride themselves | 16:53 |
| kirkland | pitti: it's really just about the encrypted-private, encrypted-home | 16:53 |
| pitti | kirkland: but well, your call | 16:53 |
| pitti | kirkland: as long as it doesn't involve putting users into that group _by default_, it's okay with me | 16:53 |

| rtg | kees: I just referenced yours since it was apropo wrt PAE, but my spec also covers other topics. | 18:45 |
| kees | rtg: also, why do lpia and armel get -$arch instead of -generic | 18:45 |
| kees | rtg: okay, but I'd like to make sure that the cs-limit nx-emulation stuff gets in too. | 18:45 |
| rtg | actually, they $flavour | 18:45 |
| rtg | they get $flavour | 18:45 |
| kees | rtg: and why "generic-pae" instead of just "pae" | 18:46 |
| rtg | kees: the names are open for discussion. perhaps 3gb is more appropriate. | 18:46 |
| * kees nods | 18:47 | |
| kees | "-allyourRAMisbelongtous" | 18:47 |
| elmo | I thought the cutoff for non-PAE was 2Gb? :-P | 18:47 |
| rtg | kees: my goal is to have the minimum difference between -generic and -generic-pae | 18:47 |
| kees | rtg: I don't know what the conventions are for UDS scheduling, but you might want to check if using +spec/use-pae-when-possible is correct (since it was last UDS) | 18:48 |
| elmo | umm, 4, rather | 18:48 |
| rtg | elmo: 1GB is reserved for mem mapped I/O stuff | 18:48 |
| kees | elmo: iiuc, it's only 3 because of how the kernel maps virtual memory. | 18:48 |
| maswan | elmo: minus whatever pci etc wants, and then kernel/userland split | 18:48 |
| maswan | elmo: We got 3.5GB on our machines, back in the days before real pointers | 18:48 |
| kees | rtg: -generic vs -generic-pae> yeah, I'm all for it being just a single CONFIG difference. :) | 18:49 |
| maswan | but anyway, 32-bit stuff has been obsolete for close to 5 years now anyway. ;) | 18:49 |
| elmo | maswan: haha | 18:49 |
| kees | rtg: and what're your current thoughts on cs-limit? | 18:50 |
| rtg | kees: um, ambivalent. Its an ugly patch but I'm probably gonna add it. I _would_ like to see some evidence that it might have prevented past abuses. | 18:51 |
| kees | rtg: I can certainly go find some example exploits that don't work as a result of cs-limit nx-emulation. | 18:51 |
| rtg | kees: that would certainly help bolster credibility for the patch | 18:52 |
| kareem | hello | 18:52 |
| kees | rtg: if it helps, nearly all security vulnerability research starts with "and if we turn off NX, [example]". | 18:52 |
| kees | rtg: all the stuff about how to avoid ASLR, stack canaries, etc, all depend on NX being non-functional. | 18:52 |
| kareem | Would this qualify as a Q for here? I'm trying to make an Ubuntu package for FreeSWITCH, and when I test it, I keep getting: "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on g++-4.2" No one in any other Ubuntu channels I've been in can figure it out. | 18:53 |
| kees | rtg: shall I send it to the kernel-team thread? | 18:53 |
| rtg | kees: I've got no problem with NX, its just that the cs-limit emulation is a bit of a hack (but understandable given HW limits) | 18:53 |
| rtg | kees: yes- the k-t list is appropriate | 18:53 |
| kees | rtg: well, cs-limit == NX for people lacking NX hardware, so basically, all exploits that work when NX is missing are protected by cs-limit nx-emu | 18:54 |
| rtg | kees: true, it is page granular. | 18:54 |
| kees | rtg: do you still want examples? it's an entire class of vulnerabilities, so I thought it'd be an obvious protection. | 18:55 |
| ogra_ | heh ... that abbreviation is used way to often /me just thought of nx-server/client | 18:55 |
| === beuno_ is now known as beuno | ||
| rtg | kees: it may be obvious to you, but a list of examples wouldn't hurt. | 18:55 |

| LaserJock | is there an easy way to determine what the default python version is for a given release? | 19:44 |
| geofft | packages.ubuntu.com/python | 19:44 |
| LaserJock | geofft: thanks, that was easy :-) | 19:45 |
| geser | LaserJock: you can also run "python --version" (assuming a supported setup) | 19:48 |
| LaserJock | yeah, I just didn't have chroots available for the releases I wanted | 19:48 |
| LordMetroid | Does the launchpad automatically forward bug reports upstream? | 19:52 |
| geser | LordMetroid: no | 19:53 |
| LordMetroid | Damn, why not? It ought to, it is so convenient to report bugs for anything in one place | 19:54 |
| geser | one reason is that the bug might be due to Ubuntu changes, another reason that not every bug is really a bug but an user-error and upstream won't be happy if we auto-forward those bugs too | 19:56 |
| geser | I guess there are more reasons against it | 19:56 |
| LordMetroid | So what do I do with this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/371819 ? | 19:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 371819 in gimp "Gimp doesn't rerender canvas on canvas size change undo" [Undecided,New] | 19:56 |
| LaserJock | upstreams not wanting automatic bugs from LP comes to mind | 19:56 |
| geser | LordMetroid: forward the bug to the gimp bugtracker yourself and add a bugwatch to the bug in LP | 20:02 |
| LordMetroid | ok... I'll try to do that | 20:02 |
| geser | I guess some upstream prefer to have a human contact to a bug instead of some script (another reason against automatic bug-forwarding) | 20:03 |
| LordMetroid | Bugwatching is more intersting then birdwatching... | 20:15 |
| mrooney | Would anyone be kind enough to whitelist me on the ubuntu-devel list? | 20:23 |
| cody-somerville | mrooney, Are you a Ubuntu developer? | 20:24 |
| mrooney | cody-somerville: I am not familiar with the official definition of that :) | 20:25 |
| cody-somerville | mrooney, Are you a member of the ubuntu-dev or ubuntu-core-dev teams on launchpad? | 20:25 |
| mrooney | As I understand it anyone can be whitelisted if they have a history of reasonable posts | 20:25 |
| mrooney | cody-somerville: nope | 20:25 |
| cody-somerville | mrooney, You might try e-mailing an administrator of the list | 20:26 |
| cody-somerville | mrooney, Or try your luck and see if the right people see your message above | 20:26 |
| mrooney | cody-somerville: yeah I have seen someone successfully ask here so I thought I'd try as well :) | 20:27 |

| kirkland | jcastro: got your email about ec2+screen | 20:35 |
| kirkland | jcastro: try the new screenbin | 20:35 |
| kirkland | jcastro: i put everything you need in there | 20:35 |
| jcastro | ok | 20:35 |
| kirkland | jcastro: you'll need to install Karmic's deb on your Jaunty system | 20:35 |
| kirkland | jcastro: give that a try, and let me know how it works for you | 20:35 |
| jcastro | likely tomorrow before I prep for a talk on s-p | 20:36 |
| kirkland | jcastro: neat | 20:36 |
| kirkland | jcastro: who are you talking to? | 20:36 |
| kirkland | jcastro: btw ... kees patched screen itself to fix one annoyance, where someone trying to type in their read-only session will cause a 'bell' or ding-message to all other users | 20:37 |
| kirkland | jcastro: i built that in the screen-profiles ppa for hardy/intrepid/karmic | 20:38 |

| thebloggu | my network manager applet is taking too long (like 2-3 min) to recognize my wireless card (not even connect to network, just recognize the card only) on boot. it is possible it is a bug or maybe i am missing something. using openbox if it is relevant | 21:08 |
| pace_t_zulu | can someone help me will pbuilder? | 21:17 |
| pace_t_zulu | i have a problem with unmet dependencies on a build | 21:17 |
| pace_t_zulu | i have read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 21:18 |
| pace_t_zulu | but i can't find a way to resolve the issue | 21:18 |
| pace_t_zulu | can someone help me figure out how to fix unresolved dependencies in debuild and/or pdebuild? | 21:27 |
| pwnguin | pace_t_zulu: unresolved dependencies? | 21:32 |
| pwnguin | as in, the build deps aren't installable? | 21:33 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: yeah i figured pbuilder would handle it better | 21:33 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: no, the build can't happen | 21:33 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: i think it is specific to this package | 21:33 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: i am trying to put together a patch | 21:33 |
| pwnguin | if you have an error log, that might help to pastebin. but right now i have to run the vacuum =( | 21:34 |
| maco | thebloggu: see if it's showing up in hal during that 2-3 minute wait | 21:37 |
| thebloggu | maco, how can i do that ? | 21:38 |
| maco | lshal... | 21:38 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/164447/ | 21:38 |
| maco | (by the way, #ubuntu-bugs might be a good place for debugging...or #nm for that matter) | 21:39 |
| thebloggu | maco, wow enourmous :P it will be difficult to test it because it is on boot | 21:39 |
| thebloggu | right after start | 21:39 |
| maco | thebloggu: log in, run "lshal >> lshal.out" and then read through at your leisure to see if your wirless card is listed | 21:40 |
| maco | (it'll put the output in a file called lshal.out) | 21:40 |
| thebloggu | maco, ok, i'll test it and i'll bring the results here | 21:42 |
| maco | #nm would be better | 21:43 |
| maco | since they know how this stuff all works and all i know "it gets info from hal" ;) | 21:43 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: did you get that pastebin? | 21:46 |
| pwnguin | yea | 21:48 |
| pwnguin | pace_t_zulu: so it's complaining that ipython isn't installable | 21:49 |
| pwnguin | pace_t_zulu: by chance, is this a patch for a package in universe? | 21:49 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: let me check | 21:51 |
| pace_t_zulu | pwnguin: indeed it is | 21:52 |
| pwnguin | then #ubunt-devel isn't the right place to chat about the patch :) | 21:52 |
| pwnguin | #ubuntu-motu handles universe packages | 21:53 |
| pwnguin | lets move the conversation to there, and stop bothering core developers :) | 21:53 |
