seb128_GUADEC internet is not so good10:34
crevettehello seb12810:35
* asac has focus issues in karmic11:18
asacseb128_: hi. hope you enjoy the conference (and the beach ;))11:19
asacseb128_: wonder if we should file a bug about apt-get upgrade resetting/crashing X - or is that even fixed?11:19
Keybukpitti: I have the *best* gdm bug EVAH11:43
Keybukit logs me out after 5-10 minutes ;)11:43
pochuthat's the new typing-break from gnome-keyboard-properties :-)11:45
crevetteKeybuk, me too12:02
crevettecould you look on TT1 if you have weird caracters on the console?12:03
Keybukyes12:03
crevetteKeybuk, are you logged you or the session has crashed?12:04
Keybukcrevette: ?12:06
crevetteKeybuk, are you only logged off or the session has crashed?12:09
Keybukcrevette: what's the difference?12:10
Keybukit looks like a crash to me because I get bailed to the console12:10
crevettewhen you logged off, you can connect to your existing session (with you applications running ), when it has crashed, a new session is created12:11
Keybukthere are no apps running as my user12:12
crevetteokay so I think we have the same problem, for me I can stay more than 5 minutes, it seesm it happened when I open a web browser and type some text in the url bar12:12
Keybukonce it's happened once, it doesn't happen again12:12

asacgreat13:00
pittigive me an hour or two, I'm on gdm bug fixing rave :)13:01
asacrock on.13:01
asaci already wondered how to start debugging this ;)13:01
mvothey ArneGoetje - would you mind if I convert language-selector from glade to gtkbuilder? you will probably not notice anything, its just a exchange of the object that wraps it (SimpleGtkbuilder instead of SmpleGladeApp) and adding a .ui file that is done with glade-3 ?13:06
TheMusomvo: How much work/what is the process to change an app from glade to GTK builder?13:08
TheMusoIs it documented anywhere?13:08
pochuTheMuso: have a look at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveLibGladeUseGtkBuilder13:09
TheMusopochu: Thanks13:09
mvoTheMuso: its pretty painless in my experience13:14
mvoTheMuso: most of my stuff uses a small wrapper called SimpleGladeApp and I ported that to gtkbuilder. so it mostly .glade->.ui and exchanging that file :)13:14
TheMusoah ok13:14
pittimvo: current gdm's prerm file is really bad13:39
pittimvo: I fixed init script handling in gdm 0ubuntu313:39
pittiis there a way for 0ubuntu3 to say "don't call 0ubuntu2's prerm on upgrade"?13:40
pittisince that will kill gdm install and your X session, leaving you with a broken gdm13:40
mvopitti: uh, that is tricky, the old-prerm is called first, so if that kills X ...13:42
pittimvo: ah, so no chance to do something in preinst?13:42
pittiok, then we have to live with that, I guess13:42
pittithe next dist-upgrade will screw your system, and then you need to reinstall gdm13:43
mvomy initial thought was to rm the old-prerm in the preinst, but I don't think it will work13:43
pittiI'll write to u-d-a@ then13:43
pittimvo: I only need to disable invoke-rc.d, so I wouldn't even need to rm13:43
mvoits the invoke-rc.d gdm stop that kills it?13:44
mvowe could hack invoke-rc.d so that it has a check for gdm stop, but that would be a heavy hammer13:44
geserpitti: looking at http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/MaintainerScripts there seems to be no way to do something before the old prerm gets executed13:45
pittiok, thanks guys13:45
mvoaptdaemon will make it all better, a crashing frontend will not affect the install (or at least it should not)13:46
dobeypitti, Riddell: is there any sane reason why I can't do "blah blah blah, here is the full text of the license: " with CC-By-SA while I can with GPL?14:30
pittidobey: I thought the problem was that the orig.tar.gz doesn't ship a copy of the CC license?14:31
pittior was it in debian/copyright?14:31
dobeyCOPYING.icons14:31
pittiperhaps he just overlooked that14:31
dobeypitti: Riddell was saying i needed the full text in debian/copyright14:31
pittiah, because we don't ship CC in /usr/share/common-licenses14:32
pittifor GPL, BSD, etc. we do, thus a reference to those is enough14:32
dobeypitti: should i put the COPYING.icons in debian/docs then?14:32
pittino, the license into debian/copyright14:32
pitti(verbatim)14:32
dobeysigh14:32
rickspencer3pitti: hi ... I suppose we may was well cancel the team meeting for tomorrow ... thoughts/14:38
dobeyE: ubuntuone-client source: not-binnmuable-any-depends-any ubuntuone-client-gnome -> ubuntuone-client14:55
dobeypitti: what does that even mean?14:55
crevettehttp://lintian.debian.org/tags/not-binnmuable-any-depends-any.html14:55
* crevette is a google bot14:56
pittidobey: you can ignore it, it doesn't apply for Ubuntu15:00
pittidobey: technically, you should't use exact version dependencies for an arch:all pacakge to an arch:any pacakge15:00
pittibinNMUs are a Debianism only (right now anyway), so don't worry15:01
Laneylintian -i will give you a full description of what the errors mean too15:02
Laneydobey: ^15:03
dobeypitti: it was because one of the packages was any but should have been all, it seems :)15:03
pittirickspencer3: not sure, are there so many people on the summit? I thought about having one, even if it's short15:03
rickspencer3pitti: ok15:03
pittidobey: even better, if they don't have arch dependent stuff15:03
pittirickspencer3: how are you and how's DS?15:04
dobeypitti: nope, it's just python and config files15:04
rickspencer3pitti: you'll need to drive it though ... I have time to cancel it, but not organize it ;)15:04
rickspencer3we are having fun, and learning, and meeting a lot of people15:04
pittirickspencer3: of course, I planned to15:04
rickspencer3and no one is sunburned ;)15:04

pittiasac, bryce, ArneGoetje, ccheney: fancy having a meeting tomorrow or shall we just skip it? (half of the team is on the desktop summit)15:32
asaceither way is fine for me15:35
ccheneypitti: i'm off tomorrow15:59
pittiok, sounds like we should just skip it15:59
ccheneypitti: or at least i requested off rickspencer3 hasn't approved it yet15:59
pittiand discuss stuff by mail15:59
* ccheney thinks he is probably pretty busy in gran canaria16:00
pitticcheney: right, should be fine to retroactively approve it later :)16:00
rickspencer3ccheney: i ok'ed it, but notice it didn't go through16:00
rickspencer3no worries16:00
ccheneyrickspencer3: ok16:00
pittidobey: u1-client uploaded, thanks for fixing16:01
rickspencer3yeah!16:01
pittiasac: marked as v-done16:02
pittiasac: so this should go to jaunty-security or -updates?16:03
asacpitti: to -security and then to -updates i guess (as we usually do for -security)16:03
asacthx16:04
pittiok, I guess the security team needs to do that then, for USN and all?16:05
dobeypitti: thanks for all the help :)16:05
pittidobey: thanks for bearing with us :)16:06
asacpitti: its universe, so there is no USN16:08
asacbut i will poke jdstrand16:08
pittiah, ok16:08
asacpitti: i think he wants your ack16:09
asacpitti: maybe he wanted to see this in -updates first and then copy it to -security ;)16:09
asacbut let me check16:09
pittiasac: sent my ack, and let me know how he wants this to be handled16:09

kenvandinemaybe i am not up2date :)16:14
pittikenvandine: does that subdir have an __init__.py?16:15
kenvandinedoh!16:15
pitti(also, it sholdn't be called "python", but like the python package name)16:15
kenvandinei know16:15
kenvandinejust explained that to rick16:15
pittibut python packages need an __init__.py16:15
* kenvandine should have noticed16:16
pittipython modules are currently searched only in the source root16:16
pittiif we want p-d-e to look for modules (not packages) in subdirs, we need to establish a convention16:16

rickspencer3?16:32
pittirickspencer3: it means that it cannot figure out the dependency for the "gtk" python module16:32

rickspencer3asap, maybe tonight or tomorrow though16:39
rickspencer3pitti: before I do that, I should install from your last known good16:40
