| pcabido | I can add a dutch translation but not a portuguese, why? | 11:40 |
| henninge | pcabido: because you do not have portugese set as a preferred language? | 11:41 |
| henninge | pcabido: Why would you start a translation on a language that you do not speak? | 11:41 |
| pcabido | I have portuguese set as my prefered language | 11:41 |

| pcabido | pcabido | 11:42 |

| henninge | yes, https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/gtg offers me Esperanto translations (that is in my preferred languages) although there is no team for it. | 11:45 |
| henninge | pcabido: so do you get an untranslated (130 untranslated) for Dutch on that page? | 11:46 |
| pcabido | henninge: yep | 11:46 |
| henninge | pcabido: that is strange ... | 11:46 |
| pcabido | I'm able to change the dutch but no the portuguese | 11:46 |

| kirkland | hi guys ... question for you ... screen-profiles was renamed in launchpad to byobu ... would it be possible to symlink a directory at http://ppa.launchpad.net/screen-profiles to the directory that provides http://ppa.launchpad.net/byobu ? | 15:28 |
| bigjools | kirkland: you renamed the user? | 15:30 |
| cprov | kirkland: possibly what's the problem in keep both PPAs active ? | 15:30 |
| cprov | bigjools: ftr, users with PPAs can't be renamed since 2.2.5 | 15:31 |
| bigjools | cprov: that's what I thought :) | 15:31 |
| bigjools | which is why I am checking what's happened | 15:31 |
| kirkland | bigjools: https://edge.launchpad.net/~screen-profiles -> 404 | 15:31 |
| kirkland | bigjools: which is okay by me ... everything is done as byobu now | 15:31 |
| kirkland | bigjools: but as of now, every screen-profiles ppa user has to individually edit their sources.list to upgrade from the last screen-profiles package to byobu | 15:32 |
| bigjools | kirkland: oh I see, you want to link from the old name that never had a PPA? | 15:32 |
| bigjools | ah no then | 15:32 |
| kirkland | bigjools: hmm, it *definitely* had a ppa | 15:33 |
| bigjools | kirkland: did you rename the user screen-profiles -> byobu before we released LP 2.2.5? | 15:33 |
| soren | http://ppa.launchpad.net/screen-profiles/ ? | 15:34 |
| soren | Oh, never mind me. | 15:34 |
| kirkland | bigjools: i don't know | 15:39 |
| kirkland | bigjools: i can find the date, if you need | 15:39 |
| kirkland | bigjools: it was renamed on approximately May 4th | 15:40 |
| bigjools | kirkland: if you did, it was before 2.2.5 because we prevented person renaming if they have a PPA in that release. The problem is that you end up with two repos, neither of which are in sync with what LP thinks is in there. | 15:40 |
| kirkland | bigjools: right | 15:41 |
| kirkland | bigjools: i think that's the situation | 15:41 |
| bigjools | argh | 15:41 |
| kirkland | bigjools: i think this is solvable with a symlink from the screen-profiles dir to the byobu dir, no? | 15:41 |
| bigjools | kirkland: not that easy :( | 15:41 |
| kirkland | bigjools: oh, okay | 15:41 |
| kirkland | bigjools: well, if this is really off the wall, ignore me :-) | 15:41 |
| kirkland | bigjools: i can live without it | 15:41 |
| bigjools | kirkland: actually if you know that everything in the old PPA is superseded by packages in the new one, we can probably just delete the old one | 15:42 |
| bigjools | and make your symlink for convenience | 15:42 |
| kirkland | bigjools: yes, that's absolutely true | 15:44 |
| kirkland | bigjools: the new ppa publishes superceded versions of everything the old one published | 15:44 |
| bigjools | kirkland: you've got screen-profiles in the old one but not in the new one | 15:45 |
| kirkland | bigjools: ? I guess i don't understand | 15:45 |
| kirkland | bigjools: i see screen-profiles here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~byobu/+archive/ppa | 15:45 |
| bigjools | kirkland: look in http://ppa.launchpad.net/screen-profiles/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/s/screen-profiles/ | 15:46 |
| bigjools | compare with http://ppa.launchpad.net/byobu/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/s/ | 15:46 |
| kirkland | bigjools: ah, okay | 15:47 |
| kirkland | bigjools: so i should send new builds of screen proflies to the byobu ppa | 15:47 |
| kirkland | bigjools: wait for those to build, and come back to you? | 15:47 |

| bigjools | kirkland: my server is hardy :) | 15:59 |
| kirkland | bigjools: then you'll add this ppa | 16:00 |
| kirkland | bigjools: byobu ppa, then apt-get install byobu, then run byobu | 16:00 |
| cprov | kirkland: screen-profile pool/ has nothing new, it can be simply replaced by a link to byobu/ one. | 16:01 |
| sinzui | danilos: have you seen the email about the Philippines translation team to feedback@? What do we do about negligent teams? | 16:05 |
| danilos | sinzui: that's something people in charge of the group should take care of | 16:10 |
| danilos | sinzui: if it's ubuntu team, ubuntu translation coordinator (owner of the translation group) should handle it | 16:10 |
| sinzui | I will convey that information | 16:10 |
| danilos | sinzui: dpm is a good guy to point them at :) | 16:10 |
| dpm | sinzui: can you forward the e-mail to ubuntu-translation-coordinator(at)lists.launchpad.net? As Danilo says, you can point them out to me as well | 16:12 |

| cprov | bigjools: you are doing a nice job as irc-proxy :) | 16:18 |
| bigjools | cprov: I don't have many uses, so any excuse to feel helpful is good :) | 16:18 |
| * kirkland hugs bigjools and cprov | 16:19 | |
| cprov | kirkland: http://ppa.launchpad.net/screen-profiles/ is a symlink to the byobu PPA | 16:20 |
| cprov | kirkland: bear in mind that any pinning rule has to refer to the byobu Origin, the ones for "LP-PPA-screen-profiles" will fail. | 16:21 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 384643 in python-launchpadlib "credentials.get_request_token function causes a segmentation fault" [Undecided,New] | 19:39 |
| rickspencer31 | I assume it has something to do with threading, but can't figure out what | 19:39 |
| rickspencer31 | my brilliant scheme was to create a re-usable gtk logon dialog for launchpad | 19:40 |
| LarstiQ | without looking closer at the actual code, one source of segfaults I'm familiar with is instantiating a ui widget before the application runs | 19:41 |
| LarstiQ | ie, missing QApplication([]) before QMainWindow() | 19:41 |
| LarstiQ | same for wx, and opengl to an extent | 19:41 |
| * LarstiQ is not too familiar with gtk programming | 19:41 | |
| thekorn | rickspencer31, the login dialog works for me, no segfault | 19:45 |
| rickspencer31 | ? | 19:45 |
| rickspencer31 | thekorn: that's very weird | 19:46 |
| rickspencer31 | have you tried it multiple times? | 19:46 |
| rickspencer31 | delete ~/.local/pm-dashboard and try | 19:46 |
| rickspencer31 | again | 19:46 |
| rickspencer31 | it *usually* seg faults for me | 19:46 |
| rickspencer31 | thekorn: thanks a lot for testing it for me | 19:48 |
| thekorn | rickspencer31, tested it 4 times now, it always worked, | 19:48 |
| rickspencer31 | that is sooo weird | 19:48 |
| * rickspencer31 pounds head on desk | 19:48 | |
| thekorn | the UI is freezing, but no segfault | 19:48 |
| rickspencer31 | ? | 19:48 |
| rickspencer31 | is it just taking a while for the buttons to show up? | 19:49 |
| thekorn | after clicking on the "lp says I'm done" button | 19:49 |
| rickspencer31 | the dialog does not disapear? | 19:49 |
| thekorn | yes, the UI is unresponsive for a while | 19:49 |
| rickspencer31 | the dialog should disapear, and then you should be able to use the menus | 19:50 |
| rickspencer31 | *sigh* | 19:50 |
| thekorn | rickspencer31, ok, now it always segfaults | 19:50 |
| rickspencer31 | hmm | 19:51 |
| rickspencer31 | here's the thing, I didn't know that I could cause seg faults with python' | 19:51 |
| rickspencer31 | I mean, I know I suck at programming, but I didn't realize I was this seriously bad at it :( | 19:51 |
| LarstiQ | rickspencer31: don't be too hard on yourself | 19:56 |
| LarstiQ | rickspencer31: a segfault happens in C | 19:56 |
| thekorn | rickspencer31, sorry, can't look at the code in depth right now, but still confirmed: under some circumstances there are segfaults | 19:57 |
| LarstiQ | rickspencer31: ideally it wouldn't happen, but you're exposing a condition in a library that results in a segfault | 19:57 |
| LarstiQ | rickspencer31: it does happen programming python, but not a lot | 19:57 |
| rickspencer31 | LarstiQ: right, it should rather throw an exception, right? | 19:57 |
| rickspencer31 | thanks thekorn | 19:59 |
| LarstiQ | rickspencer31: yeah, but it goes wrong somewhere in C land | 20:00 |
| rickspencer31 | LarstiQ: does that mean it's a bug in launchpadlib, or that I am using it wrong, or both? | 20:05 |
| LarstiQ | rickspencer31: again, without looking at it, my guess is your use of gtk is more likely | 20:14 |
| rickspencer31 | LarstiQ: okay, thanks | 20:15 |

| ethana2 | https://answers.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+question/73280 | 21:17 |
| ethana2 | This account, https://answers.launchpad.net/~ethan-anderson , should be deleted | 21:17 |
| ethana2 | and its email address banned from future use with launchpad | 21:18 |
| ethana2 | ..and nicks should not be able to include both latin and cyrrilic characters | 21:18 |
| ethana2 | Cyrillic* | 21:18 |
| czajkowski | evening | 21:19 |
| ethana2 | czajkowski: good evening | 21:19 |
| ethana2 | oh my.. | 21:19 |
| ethana2 | This troll is really, really, really bad | 21:20 |
| ethana2 | I made a filter for my email so he couldn't harass me | 21:20 |
| ethana2 | so he made a launchpad account to look like mine | 21:20 |
| ethana2 | and has been wreaking havok on launchpad and getting me literally hundreds of emails from it | 21:20 |
| ethana2 | he is wasting more of Canonical's resources than 20 users operating normally | 21:21 |
| ethana2 | czajkowski: are you a launchpad administrator? | 21:23 |
| czajkowski | ethana2: nope | 21:26 |
| ethana2 | k | 21:26 |
| ethana2 | ok, his nick changed to [deleted] | 21:31 |
| ethana2 | but is there anything stopping him from coming back 30 minutes from now? | 21:32 |
| ethana2 | it's not /actually/ deleted, he probably just changed it to that | 21:32 |
| ethana2 | probably did that last time too | 21:32 |
| ethana2 | ok, I see, it is deactivated | 21:34 |
| ethana2 | thank you much, whoever took care of that | 21:34 |
| ethana2 | He'll probably come back and do the same thing with a different email address, so I'll see you guys then I guess | 21:35 |
| ethana2 | in the mean time, have a good day | 21:35 |
| ethana2 | the troll is back. | 21:46 |
| ethana2 | https://answers.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+question/73280 | 21:46 |
| ethana2 | https://answers.launchpad.net/~ethan-anderson | 21:47 |
| ethana2 | I don't know why he's able to do this, but I'd like it ended permanently | 21:47 |
| ethana2 | That account has been disabled twice already | 21:49 |
| ethana2 | this will be the third time | 21:49 |
| beuno | kiko, any ideas ^ | 21:50 |
| ethana2 | If launchpad dissallowed nicks from having both latin and cyrrilic characters at once, that would improve this greatly | 21:50 |
| maxb | Why, ooi? | 21:51 |
| kiko | beuno, on what? | 21:51 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: could you elaborate on what exactly the problem is with mixing scripts? | 21:52 |
| ethana2 | LarstiQ: ..? | 21:52 |
| ethana2 | oh. | 21:52 |
| ethana2 | lookalike nicks | 21:52 |
| cody-somerville | lol | 21:52 |
| cody-somerville | wow | 21:52 |
| beuno | kiko, a troll that keeps coming bach? | 21:53 |
| cody-somerville | That is too funny | 21:53 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: I am not amused | 21:53 |
| cody-somerville | I know you must not be | 21:53 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: k | 21:53 |
| ethana2 | heh | 21:53 |
| cody-somerville | But thats pretty clever | 21:53 |
| ethana2 | I didn't even know he was mixing scripts, a friend discovered that | 21:53 |
| cody-somerville | not to mention a huge security issue | 21:53 |
| ethana2 | thank you | 21:53 |
| ethana2 | I think this guy might be the one who goes by 'ozzymandias' on irc | 21:54 |
| ethana2 | he is very, very unwelcome in at least one channel that I know of | 21:54 |
| * LarstiQ still feels he is missing the point | 21:54 | |
| ethana2 | LarstiQ: I don't know what the point is either | 21:54 |
| ethana2 | I'm told I'm fun to mess with | 21:54 |
| ethana2 | some people are just jerks | 21:55 |
| cody-somerville | LarstiQ, They're different people! | 21:55 |
| LarstiQ | cody-somerville: yes, but isn't that obvious? | 21:55 |
| cody-somerville | No | 21:55 |
| cody-somerville | How is it obvious? | 21:56 |
| LarstiQ | due to the different launchpad names | 21:56 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: his nick includes cyrillic characterss | 21:56 |
| maxb | The troll's user id appears to currently be ~yoyoyo with is fairly different from ~ethana2, even if they do happen to have the same *display* name | 21:56 |
| ethana2 | oh crap, it IS ozzymandias. | 21:57 |
| maxb | *which is | 21:57 |
| LarstiQ | the display names look similar, but I wouldn't expect those to be unique? | 21:57 |
| cody-somerville | You have to mouse over to see that | 21:57 |
| ethana2 | he is a freak. | 21:57 |
| soren | Well apart from the nick squatting business his response looks helpful enough (until he goes nuts on the reload button). | 21:57 |
| cody-somerville | And the display names look exactly the same to me | 21:57 |
| ethana2 | soren: I have been using xmodmap for quite some time | 21:57 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: and that is one problem that should be fixed.. | 21:57 |
| ethana2 | but he knows that, he's been harassing us on #colemak for over a month | 21:57 |
| Iggy_Koopa | they don't look the same if you don't use Bitstream Vera | 21:57 |
| ethana2 | he hacked into one guy's box with an -- | 21:57 |
| Iggy_Koopa | another fault with that font | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | Iggy_Koopa! | 21:58 |
| Iggy_Koopa | and yeah | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | you're here! | 21:58 |
| Iggy_Koopa | Of course I am | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | I did not know you were here :) | 21:58 |
| jrick | as am I | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | this is the guy that discovered the -- | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | sweet. | 21:58 |
| jrick | we just wanted to help you ethana2 | 21:58 |
| Iggy_Koopa | We're all here to help you, friend | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | I feel better already :) | 21:58 |
| maxb | The cyrillic/latin issue is presumably irrelevant, since Launchpad cannot reasonably require display names to be unique, since human names aren't unique! | 21:58 |
| ethana2 | maxb: but email addresses must be unique, no? | 21:59 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: yes | 21:59 |
| maxb | oh, is *that* where the cyrillic is? | 21:59 |
| ethana2 | maxb: the cyrillic is in his nick | 21:59 |
| ethana2 | I'm sorta confused here-- | 21:59 |
| maxb | ethana2: What is a "nick" in this context? | 21:59 |
| ethana2 | why does launchpad have separate sign ins and nicks? | 21:59 |
| ethana2 | maxb: the account he was using was ~ethan-anderson or something | 21:59 |
| ethana2 | but he showed up in what appeared like 'ethana2' | 22:00 |
| ethana2 | which is my nick /and/ account | 22:00 |
| ethana2 | and has been for probably like two years | 22:00 |
| maxb | My user is "maxb" but my display name is "Max Bowsher" | 22:00 |
| ethana2 | ok, display name | 22:00 |
| ethana2 | display names should be in one language at a time. | 22:01 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: that wouldn't help you | 22:01 |
| maxb | No reason to require that | 22:01 |
| ethana2 | unless cyrillic doesn't have a full character set on its own | 22:01 |
| ethana2 | LarstiQ: I don't see why it wouldn't at least reduce confusion | 22:01 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: unless, at which I'd be very surprised, launchpad retricted there to be unique display names | 22:01 |
| ethana2 | ohhhhh | 22:02 |
| ethana2 | well shouldn't they be unique? | 22:02 |
| Iggy_Koopa | also, like I pointed out | 22:02 |
| Iggy_Koopa | it's not the same in all fonts | 22:02 |
| ethana2 | is there a really good reason to have multiple identical display names on launchpad? | 22:02 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: I don't tink so. | 22:02 |
| ethana2 | *sigh* | 22:02 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: sure | 22:02 |
| ethana2 | LarstiQ: use case? | 22:02 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: my display name is Wouter van Heyst. I'm not the only one of those. | 22:02 |
| ethana2 | sure, but does it kill you to add an integer on the end? | 22:03 |
| LarstiQ | yes | 22:03 |
| ethana2 | I'm not ethana | 22:03 |
| ethana2 | because ethana was taken on gmail | 22:03 |
| ethana2 | I am ethana2, someone else can increment it if they have to | 22:03 |
| cody-somerville | What does this have to do with cyrillic again? | 22:03 |
| cody-somerville | Anyone can change their display name to ethana2 | 22:03 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: this seems to be a different problem | 22:03 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: yeah | 22:03 |
| ethana2 | cody-somerville: I don't think that's good | 22:04 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: I acknowledge your situation sucks | 22:04 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: but I don't agree your proposed fix is a good idea | 22:04 |
| maxb | Clearly there's an issue here - perhaps Launchpad should display me as "Max Bowsher (maxb)" everywhere, for example. | 22:05 |
| ethana2 | LarstiQ: what do you think a good fix would be? | 22:05 |
| LarstiQ | but then I'm a user, the lp people may disagree | 22:05 |
| ethana2 | maxb: I like that | 22:05 |
| ethana2 | Ethan Anderson (ethana2) | 22:05 |
| jrick | anyone remember that one really fake bug last week or so? that was done by this guy | 22:05 |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: i wouldn't be opposed to rendering the username as maxb said, but for anything that I'd want to know it, I'd check it explicitly | 22:05 |
| jrick | so it is important that this issue be fixed | 22:06 |
| LarstiQ | and not rely on just the display name, as it is only that | 22:06 |
| ethana2 | this guy made Bug Number One a duplicate of something | 22:06 |
| jrick | yeah | 22:06 |
| ethana2 | Is there anyway we can just keep this one guy off LP? | 22:06 |
| jrick | it was about magnets or something iirc | 22:06 |
| jrick | wiping the hard disks | 22:06 |
| LarstiQ | no clue about that | 22:06 |
| ethana2 | magnets and hard drives, yeah | 22:06 |
| ethana2 | well, I have to start getting ready for work | 22:07 |
| * LarstiQ needs to go to bed | 22:07 | |
| LarstiQ | ethana2: have a good day | 22:08 |
| ethana2 | I'll try, thank you | 22:08 |
| ethana2 | good night | 22:08 |
| LarstiQ | and I hope someone does something about him | 22:08 |
| ethana2 | thanks | 22:08 |
