pittiseb128: for hardy it sounds fine, given the number of dups08:41
didrocksseb128: I fixed it in jaunty before the release and it seems that there is no regression08:41
seb128didrocks: still who cares about intrepid?08:41
didrocksseb128: ok, so, I can fix it in hardy :)08:42
seb128that's what I would suggest08:42
seb128that's only my opinion though08:42
seb128hey pitti!08:42
pittididrocks: I concur with Seb08:45

seb128xorg crashes when I lock the screen, suspend doesn't work, vt switch bugs09:04
pittiugh09:04
seb128not upgrading before uds was a good move ;-)09:04
crevettehey karmic is working almost fine here09:04
pittiseb128: is that with xorg-edgers or pure karmic?09:04
seb128pure karmic09:05
seb128and still running the jaunty linux version09:05

pittiseb128: I don't think that's a good idea09:05
pittithe new intel driver needs the latest kernel pretty much09:05
pittithey dropped EXA and such09:05
seb128there is nothing in the chain of depends suggestion that09:05
seb128I'm playing luser there ;-)09:05
pittiwell, a luser would have update-manager'ed and got 2.6.30 :)09:06
seb128yeah could be, I just had hours of download to get there and decided to upgrade gradually components I'm interested in09:06

pittiit's supposed to be wonderful09:08
pitti(especially once you enable KMS)09:08
crevetteI've a potential fix for bluetooth for jaunty, is there a process before proposing it to make sure it can go on SRU?09:09
seb128crevette: to fix what?09:09
pitticrevette: make sure it matches the SRU criteria09:09
seb128pitti: ok, will continue upgrading today and let you know09:09
pittiseb128: merci09:09
crevetteseb128, pairting not working, with potential overflow, the patch comes from upstream09:09

smbHello somebody around who knows more details on gvfs than I do?10:07
seb128not easy to say without knowing what you know ;-)10:07
smbProbably not that much except it is there and does network mounts (too) :)10:08
smbI am currently looking at bug 27647210:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 276472 in linux "cp -p on CIFS mount does not preserve timestamp" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27647210:08
smbThat came in as cifs bug but seems fixed there10:08
smbOnly with gvfs I cannot do a touch on a file (operation not supported)10:09
smbNow, the question would be intended or bug...10:09
smb(the latest userspace I verified this was Jaunty)10:10
seb128do you try to touch on what location?10:10
smbOk, right. The testcase is: mount share via gvfs. create a directory there and a file within that with touch. The response is the error above while the file is created with the current time and date10:11
smbWriting to the file also updates the time, only touch fails (so will cp -p)10:12
seb128gvfs can't do mounts10:16
seb128it does gmounts which can be used by GNOME applications10:16
seb128but "touch webdav://something" is not likely to work, I doubt touch understand gvfs uris10:16
seb128or use gvfs10:16
seb128or do you use the fuse .gvfs?10:16
smbIt is mounted with fuse to $HOME/.gvfs/<share> Yes10:18
smbThats done automatically when browsing into that share10:18
smbSo the touch is done in that fuse subdirectory10:18
seb128could be a fuse limitation10:19
seb128I think that has been discussed upstream before10:19
smbThat might be. That is where my knowledge stops.10:21
smbIt seems unlikely a kernel problem (except if there is problem with the fuse kernel interface)10:22
crevettehmm bluez is a good canditate for merging with debian10:23
asaccrevette: are there any changes left in ubuntu?10:40
crevetteasac, from what I seen we carry the almost same patch10:50
asaccrevette: so sync?10:57
crevetteyep even, I need to double-check, because the packaging is different, so I need to confirm this is okay10:58

asacso rfcXXXX.txt documents are not dfsg right?12:37
asacnevermind ill ask on -devel12:37
seb128asac: do we care about dfsg in ubuntu?12:38
asacseb128: to some degree yes (not sure where we draw the line). anyway, having the package dfsg free allows me to upload to debian too ;)12:39
davmor2seb128: normally I'd ask before hand.  But I thought if these were things that were expecting to be working in alpha 2 then it might be worth mentioning them here too.  But I do take your point :)12:40
seb128those don't seem stopper for alpha2 to me12:41
seb128it's still an early alpha, I expect it to install run and mostly work, we don't care if a corner option of one application doesn't work as expected12:41
seb128better to keep IRC lobbying for real issue otherwise people will just start ignoring what you say if you list every small glitch there, we get hundred of bugs a day12:42
davmor2seb128: I thought that the iplayer one might of been important.  But that's okay :)12:44
seb128davmor2: what is iplayer?12:44
seb128that's something I don't even know about12:44
seb128those bugs are about youtube and bbc no?12:44
davmor2yes BBCiPlayer12:45
davmor2seb128: iplayer is the bbc's way of doing internet tv :)12:45
seb128that one is a new upstream thing, that never worked or was there before12:46
seb128I fail to see why it should be a stopper now because it has just been added and it's not working12:46
davmor2okay12:46
seb128and the youtube plugin not being built was described in the changelog with the reason12:49
seb128sorry about the ranting, I've read too many bugs today with the weekend backlog etc12:49
davmor2seb128: One other thing I noticed is that during the install I get an error about /dev/sda being mounted.  I've had a word with the installer guys and they have said it is expected behaviour from the installer, however they are not convinced it is expected system behaviour.  The icon of the hd vanishes leading you to believe that it has been unmounted where as in fact it isn't.  Any idea what I should file the bug12:53
seb128"an error about /dev/sda being mounted."12:54
seb128what sort of error? do you have a screenshot?12:54
rodrigo_is there any way to have empathy color the tabs, or notify me when someone talks to me on a public channel?12:54
rodrigo_it just notifies me of private messages12:54
seb128usually we don't display error about things mounted, rather about things which can't be unmounted12:54
davmor2seb128: Sorry error is the wrong word a dialogue box warning "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ......."12:55
seb128ubiquity12:55
seb128if the error message is an installer one it's an installer bug12:55
Zdrarodrigo_: you get urgent hint on the chat window12:55
rodrigo_Zdra: I don't, or I can't see it12:55
Zdrarodrigo_: depends on the version you are using, we fixed a bug about that recently12:56
rodrigo_2.26.112:56
seb128Zdra: empathy not showing connection errors is a known issue?12:57
Zdrarodrigo_: The patch that fixed urgency hint for MUC: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/empathy/commit/?id=7c1c77662edf9ef232bb7648fa6c516d31de364812:57
Zdrarodrigo_: I don't remember if that was included in 2.2612:57
Zdraseb128: The main window shows an error, normally12:58
rodrigo_Zdra: seems not in here, so where are packages for that fix if any?12:58
Zdraseb128: but it is known that in general error reporting is really poor12:58
seb128not there, and the status is displayed nowhere out of the details dialog that I found just by playing around12:58
rodrigo_I seem to be missing people's comments a lot since I moved to empathy :)12:58
cjwatsonhi, davmor2 said he was having trouble explaining an installer-relevant problem here12:59
Zdrarodrigo_: you can use the telepathy ppa to use 2.27.x versions12:59
seb128empathy doesn't make me a great impression either so far too12:59
seb128cjwatson: <davmor2> seb128: Sorry error is the wrong word a dialogue box warning "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ......."12:59
rodrigo_Zdra: and would that bring too many karmic deps?12:59
rodrigo_Zdra: still on jaunty here12:59
cjwatsonok, let me explain with a tad more context :-)12:59
seb128cjwatson: that's what he described and yeah, I've difficulties to understand the issue12:59
Zdrarodrigo_: we backport everything to jaunty13:00
rodrigo_ah cool!13:00
cjwatsonapparently on karmic the desktop automounts filesystems a bit more aggressively than it used to (at least, that's what the symptoms suggest)13:00
seb128I would not be surprised since we switched to a new technology, ie devicekit-disks13:00
cjwatsonsince the installer is doing partitioning, it needs to make sure that the disk it's partitioning isn't busy - that is, no filesystems on it are allowed to be mounted13:00
cjwatsonis the more aggressive automounting deliberate?13:00
cjwatsonor just an accidental consequence of switching to dk-disks?13:01
seb128not sure, do you have details on what event trigger the mounting?13:01
cjwatsonno13:01
cjwatsonAFAIK they're just mounted on startup13:01
davmor2seb128: it's just mount on the live desktop when the system starts13:01
seb128I would say that devicekit-disks behaves differently from what we had, we need details about the events it reacts to to say if that's a bug or not13:01
seb128pitti: ^ do you know?13:02
cjwatsonautomounting is something we used to do, and then AFAIK deliberately moved away from since it caused problems13:02
cjwatsonfor instance automounting journalled filesystems was an issue for anyone who'd hibernated13:02
cjwatsonso I was a bit surprised to hear about it returning13:02
seb128the GNOME stack should not automount static partitions, only removable devices13:03
cjwatsondavmor2: is /dev/sda your USB stick or your hard disk?13:03
rodrigo_ok, brb on empathy 2.27.x13:03
davmor2cjwatson: seb128:  No sda is my main harddrive13:04
cjwatsonyeah, the installer would normally only complain about the installation *target* so that makes sense13:04
seb128I doubt it's GNOME mounting it, you would need a password to mount a static partition13:04
seb128ie get a policykit dialog asking your password to do the mount13:05
cjwatsonI suppose there's an outside chance it could be casper, but nothing relevant has changed in that area as far as I know13:05
cjwatsondo you mean GNOME as distinct from DK-disks13:06
cjwatson?13:06
seb128could be lower in the stack, ie devicekit-disks13:06
seb128let's wait for pitti, he's the one who knows about this one13:06
cjwatsonok13:06
seb128yeah, GNOME, as gvfs etc13:06
rodrigo_hmm, empty contacts list in empathy 2.27.2, is that known?13:06
seb128gvfs used hal as a backend and use devicekit-disks now13:07
seb128so maybe it gets different events13:07
seb128but gvfs would be asking for a password to mount a static partition so I guess it's something lower in the stack doing it13:07
davmor2seb128: there's no policykit password request.13:07
seb128do we have any indication of when that behaviour started?13:08
seb128pedro_: ola!13:08
pedro_bonjour seb128!13:09
davmor2seb128: it didn't before uds13:09

seb128pitti: did you read the backlog?13:58
pittioops, doing now13:58
seb128pitti: nothing urgent don't worry, btw do we have some documentation on devicekit-disks, how to debug issues in the new world etc?13:59
pitticjwatson: you mean internal disks get automounted?14:00
pitticjwatson: that's indeed a fallout from hal -> DK migration14:00
pitticjwatson: I disabled that for internal disks in hal14:00
pittibut didn't port the patch to dk14:00
pittiseb128: no documentation yet14:01
pitticjwatson: indeed, I guess partman needs to be updated for that (devkit-disks --inhibit <program>, or spawn devkit-disks --inhibit and kill it once your're done)14:01
cjwatsonwhat does partman have to do with it?14:02
pittiseb128: you can run the d-bus backend in the foreground for debugging output, similar to hal14:02
pitticjwatson: ubiquity, sorry14:03
cjwatsonbut the disks are being automounted before ubiquity starts14:03
pitticjwatson: right, I need to fix that14:03
cjwatsonI mean, OK, we can convert ubiquity over, it just doesn't seem to address this :)14:03
pitticjwatson: it just occurred to me that ubiquity needs a replacement for the current hal automount inhibition14:03
cjwatsonok, I'll look at that, thanks14:04
cjwatsonpitti: does it have the same argument handling stupidity as hal-lock?14:05
pittiseb128: ^ BTW, we need to fix that in gvfs14:05
seb128pitti: "that"?14:05
pittiseb128: not automount internal drives by default14:05
seb128pitti: it's not gvfs doing the automounting, is it?14:05
pittiseb128: I suppose it is, what else?14:05
seb128gvfs would need to ask you polkit credentials14:05
pittiseb128: not in the live system14:05
seb128and it doesn't14:05
pitticjwatson: in what way?14:06
seb128pitti: hum, it's weird, on my laptop partitions are not automounted14:06
pittiseb128: nautilus then, I suppose; well, I'll look at it14:06
cjwatsonpitti: hal-lock took the subsidiary program and arguments to run as a single argument, so you had to join them together with spaces14:06
seb128I'm not sure why it would be different on the livecd though14:06
cjwatsone.g. hal-lock --interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage --exclusive --run 'ubiquity --foo --bar'14:06
cjwatsonrather than e.g. having a -- to terminate its own options14:07
pitticjwatson: no, that works now (with --)14:07
cjwatsonoh good, thanks14:07

ArneGoetjeasac: there are language-pack updates waiting in -proposed for Hardy and Intrepid. So far I didn't get any feedback yet from the community. Next updates are due after the Rosetta database has been converted to use message sharing.14:11
asacArneGoetje: why just hardy/intrepid and not jaunt?14:12
asacy14:12
ArneGoetjeasac: because the process for message sharing started immediately after Jauty release and hasn't finished yet.14:13
asacArneGoetje: will that have any impact on output format/syntax of the exported po files?14:14
ArneGoetjeasac: nope14:14
ArneGoetjeasac: but after the db has been converted, there will be an influx of "new" messages across the stable releases.14:15
asacArneGoetje: what does "process" mean here? rolling out code? or db conversion?14:15
ArneGoetjecode and db conversion. db conversion has not finished yet.14:15
asacArneGoetje: can you explain what "influx of new messages across ..." means?14:16
ArneGoetjeasac: message sharing means, that for the same project (e.g. Ubuntu) messages and translations get shared across the releases. Before they have been separated. Means translators had to translate the same string for the same applications multiple times to make it available in all releases. MOst translators only focused on the current release, some focused on the last LTS, instead. Example: a number of strings have been translated for Hardy after its14:20
asacArneGoetje: ok thanks. wonder what that means for firefox-3.5 vs. firefox. i think it will not matter if we use a different template name?14:22
asacArneGoetje: any clue why our firefox-3.0 source provided template is called "firefox" (without version) in rosetta?14:23
ArneGoetjeasac: correct.14:23
asacsame for xulrunner-1.914:23
ArneGoetjeasac: because it wasn't necessary to have a version number, yet.14:24
ArneGoetjeasac: will the templates be radically different from firefox-3?14:24
asacArneGoetje: that might be the rational, but how did this happen? was that done manually? what happens if i upload firefox-3.5?14:24
rickspencer3pitti: good afternoon14:24
pittihey rickspencer3, how was your weekend?14:25
rickspencer3pitti: fine, though I discovered that liblaunchpad is not entirely thread safe :(14:25
ArneGoetjeasac: I suppose that sourcepackage would then be named accordingly and not firefox-3?14:25
asacArneGoetje: yes.14:26
ArneGoetjeasac: would it be possible to have both, firefox 3 and 3.5 installed in parallel?14:27
rickspencer3pitti: I can surely put the burndown script in a lp branch, but I'm not sure what people.ubuntu is, or how to use it14:27
rickspencer3should I?14:27
asacArneGoetje: yes14:27
asacArneGoetje: i want them to have different templates14:27
asacArneGoetje: i am just curious how the firefox-3.0 template got named firefox in rosetta14:27
pittirickspencer3: it's your ~/public_html/ on ronne.ubuntu.com14:27
ArneGoetjeasac: makes sense then.14:27
pittirickspencer3: we use that for storing publicly accessible stuff, both temporary (like http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/tmp/) and permanent (like http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/scripts)14:28
ArneGoetjeasac: we set the name manually. It's also possible to rename templates in the database.14:28
pittirickspencer3: I also use to put my talk slides there, and so on14:28
rickspencer3hmmm14:28
asacArneGoetje: ok. so currently there is a mapping firefox-3.0 -> firefox and xulrunner-1.9 -> xulrunner. good.14:28
rickspencer3sounds like I should learn how to do that14:28
ArneGoetjeasac: yes14:29
ArneGoetjeasac: we can rename the old ones to carry the version number if you want, or we just name the new ones to carry the new version number. It's basically the script in langpack-o-matic, which needs to distinguish the versions. And currently the xpis are in rosetta-jaunty/xpi/firefox/ and rosetta-jaunty/xpi/xulrunner. If we rename those two templates to carry the version number, those directories will reflect this.14:32
seb128kenvandine: hi14:32
asacArneGoetje: right. i think it would be good to rename them ...14:34
asacArneGoetje: but i think not now. lets better wait till we have ffox 3.5 and then fix bugs in lang-pack-o-matic first14:34

seb128kenvandine: is it used right now?14:44
kenvandinei think only for butterfly14:45

seb128we can delay the mir until it's required14:45

crevetteasac, btw why gnome-bluetooth wasn't uploaded yet?15:17
asaccrevette: thought you wanted to update the patch with upstream comments15:19
crevetteasac, I thought the debian version would be uploaded first and I would patch it later15:20
crevettebut it's okay15:20
asaccrevette: gnome-bluetooth (2.27.5-1) unstable; urgency=low15:21

jcastropitti: wrt. banshee memory consumption I think it's best to wait until mono 2.4 hits karmic and then test, it would be a waste to test it on the old stack15:23
crevetteasac, but for the comment on libnotify in the patch, how  should I do?15:24
asaccrevette: adress everything except that. i dont think he will hold back the patch just because of that15:25

jcastroseb128: pitti updated the spec asking if someone was going to do a memory breakdown15:31
seb128ah ok15:32
seb128pitti: your G1 works fine with rhythmbox? kenvandine tried during the uds session and said it was not working15:37
pittiseb128: probably missing product ID in hal-info15:37
pittiI didn't upload the very latest hal-info to karmic yet15:37
seb128jcastro: what are the big selling point for banshee, responsive upstream doesn't fit in user story and pitti doesn't believe in device syncing ;-)15:37
pittiseb128: oh, don't get me wrong; responsive upstream is a big plus :)15:38
seb128pitti: to be honest I've not so much user stories to sell it15:38
seb128it's just it get lot of work where rhythmbox almost get none15:38
pittiI'd just like to see some more compelling argument than just "it's something else with the same functionality but twice the CPU and RAM cost"15:38
seb128and ipod syncing seems to be a thing almost every ipod customer or eom wants15:38
pittihm, I had assumed that ipods have worked for years15:39
seb128ipod or device, that works for other devices too15:39
pittithe one that I borrowed worked fine, anyway15:39
jcastroseb128: we wrote them all down!15:39
pittidid that get broken?15:39
jcastrovideo podcasts with syncing is nice15:39
seb128pitti: "syncing", is a 2 ways update, not you doing manual dnd15:39
pittiseb128: I see15:40
seb128pitti: ie you plug you ipod, click "sync" and it upload all the song which have been added to your library since you previous plugged the device15:40
seb128it's a "keep my datas in sync" thing15:40

NCommander(its not a rush job)18:22
seb128did you subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors to the bug?18:23
NCommanderseb128, yes18:23
seb128ok, so it's probably not there for "a while", I've reviewed the list some days ago and it was not there18:23
seb128anyway it's almost diner time here but I will do that tomorrow if pitti is not faster on it18:23
NCommanderlike I said, low priority. I think I had the bug open, then came back and found sponsors missing18:24
NCommanderso I misspoke.18:24

hggdhseb128, hi. Would it be worth any to have evolution (during the development cycle) to save the debug log? We would have to set the environment variables for that19:35
seb128hggdh: no opinion about that, in most case have clear steps to trigger the issue is enough and we don't ask for debug logs so often, but if you think that's a good idea feel free to submit a change to review19:56
crevetteasac: yeah, (sorry I was away, it was dinner time)20:02
asaccrevette: dinner is for the weak :-P ...20:05
asacjust kidding :)20:05
hggdhseb128, I am not sure myself. I wrote a first try on a apport-hook for Evo, but found myself being paranoid on uploading gconf data, and unsure about the debug log... will think more on that20:05
seb128hggdh: yeah, don't print account informations, I'm not sure other settings are often useful for bugs on evolution20:07
hggdhseb128, agreed. Found myself using only a few of the gconf data. I am starting to lean more on sanitising BT full as the only thing really useful (generically) for Evo20:09
hggdhi.e., masking out account names & servers20:09
seb128that would be nice indeed20:09
hggdhwill work more on that, then.20:10
crevetteasac: so basically for g_list_find_custom is should like http://dpaste.com/52960/ ?20:29
asaccrevette: is that paste complete?20:32
crevettehmm, I forget the return part20:32
asaccrevette: also you have syntax error in lines following 720:33
asacand the if20:33
asacmisses brackets ;)20:33
crevetteah true20:33
asaccrevette: but the g_list_find_custom itself looks ok20:33
chrisccoulsonwhat populates the GList 'caps' there as well?20:34
asaccrevette: also you nowehere get the caps20:34
asacright20:34
asacyou have to get that20:34
asacif you want you can just pick the function body from my patch here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27521372/libnotify_server_caps_convenience.patch20:34
crevettedid forget caps = notify_get_server_caps();?20:36
asacthat patch doesnt cache the result, but imo that shouldnt be built into all apps. rather libnotify should be fixed to cache and flush cache on NameOwnerChanged20:36
crevetteah yeah, it was really a quick cut'n paste20:36
asaccrevette: right. you forgot that in the if (!have_checked)20:36
crevettemy copy wasn't complete, I wonder what I did20:36
asac21:32 < asac> crevette: is that paste complete?20:36
asac:-P20:37
crevetteasac: should I check for NULL for caps "if (caps != NULL) {" before g_list_find_custom?20:40
asaccrevette: NULL is empty list. so g_list_find should be safe20:41

asaccrevette: also check if your code style matches what is used else where21:14
asacin particular the if with just one line is most likely usually not done using {} brackets21:14
crevetteI corrected the code style already I think, the only problem is make sure I don't use space but tab21:15
crevetteas I can remove the brackets21:15
asaccrevette: right. but check what i said about the "if" and the {} brackets21:15
crevettes/as/ah/21:15
asacjust check what the rest of the code does21:15
asacso after that go ahead ;)21:16
asacafter the rest cleanup we can resubmit and upload the package imo21:16
crevettefor 1 line, the if doens't contains {}21:16
crevetteI wonder if vim can help me to get ride of the space versus tab21:17
crevetteproblem21:17
asaccrevette: not sure. only know that it works well if you have emacs header in the file and say "indent-all"21:20
asaclike: /* -*- Mode: C; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: t; c-basic-offset: 4 -*- */21:20
