bcurtiswxhggdh: i received no e-mail yet from you. was i supposed to?00:15
hggdhbcurtiswx, sorry, ended up forgetting -- had to fight insomnia ;-)00:33
* bcurtiswx feeds hggdh some caffeine pills00:33
hggdhneed it. I never, ever, could sleep well when traveling alone (i.e., work). Since I travel a *whole* lot...00:37
bcurtiswxnext time you're in DC lemme know. :(00:38
bcurtiswx:)*00:38
bdmurrayhggdh: did the removed packages output look useful?00:41
micahgor Chicago :)00:42
bdmurraywell Portland too then!00:43
bcurtiswxPortland, ME ? or Portland, OR ?00:45
bdmurraythe latter00:45
bcurtiswxcool, if Portland, ME i was gonna talk hockey with you... but nvm :P00:45
hggdhbdmurray, sorry, yes, it did. I am now thinking on how to best present it00:53
hggdhbcurtiswx, strangle enough, DC is usually only once per year... (I am talking about the metroplex, of course)00:54
hggdhand Chicago... about twice per year.00:54
hggdhAnd I will be happy to call on you all next time ;-)00:54
hggdhbdmurray, I thought you lived on the east coast00:55
hggdhand Portland, of course. Home of The BugMeister :-D00:56
hggdhbut... last time I was in Portland I got lost, and only found I was lost on when I figured I was going back to California00:56
hggdhalready on the highway00:57
bcurtiswxlol00:59
hggdhit is a long story, and only funny now. It involves a GPS, battery low, an accident on the road, and a car in front of me that looked like they knew where they were going01:02
hggdhthey did, in fact. Unfortunately, they were going to *their* home. Not *my* hotel. Not even near. I followed them up to the garage door01:03
bcurtiswxi think the only person to blame is yourself on that one :P01:09
bdmurrayhggdh: would you be interested in the code or the results? it took quite a while to run the query01:10
bcurtiswxbdmurray: how hard would it be to have ubuntu install telepathy-idle default with empathy?01:26
bcurtiswxmoving IRC accounts from pidgin to empathy without idle installed is a bad idea01:29
bcurtiswxand since it offers it (even without idle installed) i think that may be a good idea for karmic01:30
hggdhbdmurray, the code, if you do not mind. Then I can adjust it to produce linkable output for the wiki01:40
hggdhbcurtiswx, you would have to ask (i.e., open a workflow request) for it to be included in main01:40
bcurtiswxooh, i've never done this before01:41
hggdhit will be a Main Inclusion Request -- see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements01:44
hggdhthere is always the first time ;-)01:44
bcurtiswxwhat type of bugs go into linux-meta ?01:54
hggdhthat's a good question, I do not know. I *think* linux-meta is just a series of depends. Easiest way to find is to download the source package and check02:02
hggdhpull-lp-source linux-meta02:02
Laibsch1anybody have an idea what I could try to do about bug 334957?02:03

bcurtiswxhmm, request a screencast maybe ?02:03
bcurtiswxother than that IDK02:04
hggdhLaibsch1, I am not sure, it's a long time I am out of kernel.02:05
hggdhLaibsch1, you may try asking at #ubuntu-kernel (or ogasawara)02:05
Laibsch1hggdh: I tried building a vanilla kernel for testing.  I don't know how to build an initrd, though02:05
Laibsch1I need that initrd because my fstab uses LABELs to find partitions02:06
hggdhLaibsch1, you can try one of the mainline kernels in the kernel PPA02:06
Laibsch1Thanks02:06
Laibsch1I was unaware of that02:06
Laibsch1They are unpatched?02:06
hggdhyou know where to find them?02:06
Laibsch1I'll find them02:06
hggdhthey are mainline, no Ubuntu patches02:06
Laibsch1Or I'll come back02:06
Laibsch1nice02:06
hggdh:-)02:06
Laibsch1I should have known that earlier02:07
hggdhwe'll be here02:07
hggdhalso -- if I remember correctly, the kernel build scripts should take care of building initrd02:07
hggdhLaibsch1, it should be kernel-package02:09
Laibsch1make-kpkg didn't do that02:09
Laibsch1It built the kernel fine, but no initrd02:09
hggdhI do not remember anymore... I used to build kernels before getting to Ubuntu, here I only had to patch my kernel twice02:10
Laibsch1ubuntu makes it too easy, doesn't it?02:14
Laibsch1:-D02:14
=== Laibsch1 is now known as Laibsch
hggdh:-) yeah, I think it does02:14

bcurtiswxbug 41824402:31
ubot4Launchpad bug 418244 in empathy "Error connecting to the Yahoo network" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41824402:31
bcurtiswxsomeone can't connect to yahoo im guessing because their network stuff changed (EMPATHY BUG)02:31
bcurtiswxit works now (in karmic) but im not sure it got fixed in jaunty02:32
bcurtiswxwould I turn this into a backport request?02:32
bcurtiswxi know the actual package effected is telepathy-haze02:34
bcurtiswxi can change that once I find out what to do with the bug02:34
bcurtiswxanyone...02:36
micahgno02:36
micahgit was fixed in pidgin, so it could be fixed in empathy02:37
micahgis it in universe or main?02:37
micahgon Jaunty?02:37
micahgwell02:37
bcurtiswxjaunty haze is in universe02:37
micahgI should preface that02:37
hggdhit is possible, bcurtiswx02:37
micahgit depends :)02:37
* micahg is too quick to talk02:37
micahgif it's a simple fix, then yes02:37
micahgif not, no02:38
micahgbut universe is community supported02:38
micahgpidgin is in main02:38
micahgso I guess it is different02:38
hggdhbut you have to check if -haze backported will need other up-to-date dependencies.02:39
micahg1if it's for an SRU, then it would need to just be a patch02:40
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
hggdhyes. It is probable it can be cherry-picked from GIT02:40
micahgotherwise, it would need to be a backport02:40
bcurtiswxwell, im completely confused... one of you two mind taking care of it?02:41
micahgbcurtiswx: what can we clarify?02:41
bcurtiswxwell im not sure what to turn this bug into... a backport request or a bug to fix telepathy-haze in jaunty02:41
hggdh:-)02:42
hggdhbcurtiswx, start by finding out what fixed the yahoo change02:42
bcurtiswxbackport would require updates to other packages because of it02:42
hggdhright now I think it is a bug on jaunty02:42
micahglook for upstream bug if possible02:42
hggdhyes. So an initial best bet is a SRU02:43
hggdhyou need to find out which fix resolved it on Karmic02:43
bcurtiswxit may just be a libpurple update in jaunty02:44
hggdhit may02:44
micahgFix for pidgin: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8.202:44
hggdhbut the basic question remains: what was changed to fix it?02:44
bcurtiswxim gonna talk to the telepathy people, see what they say02:45
hggdhgood idea. They probably already know02:46

arandHow and where should a privacy concern about ubuntuone's bug reports, be reported. (I noticed in a recent bug of mine they listed all of my ubuntuone files)12:05
thekornarand, there is something like "this report is public" in the top right corner of an existing bugreport, by clicking the yellow pencil button near to it you can set the private flag for this bugreport12:16
thekornarand, if you used apport/ubuntu-bug to report this bugreport, this flag is set automatically12:16
thekornprivate bugreports are only visible to their subscribers12:17
thekornbefore removing this flag to make this bug visible to the developers, make sure to remove your private data12:18
arandthekorn: Indeed I have set it as private, since apport-retrace automatically set it to public (bug?), but I'm thinking that there should be no need for the report to contain this data in this case...12:19
arand(and I have removed the private part and then reverted back to public)12:20
thekornarand, I tend to agree, there is no need to add such private data to a bugreport12:23
thekornso I thinkt this is a bug in the ubuntuone package12:23
james_wit could try and remove the filenames on the user's system before uploading the log12:23
thekornthey should remove all private data from the log before uploading it12:24
james_wreplace it with FILE1, FILE2 or something so that you can still follow the logic12:24
thekornjames_w, hi, exactly12:24
james_whey thekorn :-)12:24
arandYea will try to do that, let's see if I can do some sed magic...12:28
thekornarand, it would be cool if there could be a solution in python, so it can be used directly in ubuntuone's apport hook12:42
arandthekorn: unortunately, my knowledge of python is /dev/zero12:58
thekornarand, hehe ok, I think the first step to fix it is to create a bugreport against the ubuntuone package and ask for replacing filestrings with something usefull in the log files13:00
thekornand actually adjusting the apport hook to fix it should only be a few lines of regex magic13:01
TrijntjeHi all, noob question here: I filed a bug, and now someone asks me the following: "thanks for the report, please attach an example to the report." What does he want me to do?13:02
thekornTrijntje, that depends on the situation,can you please give me the bug id?13:04
Trijntjethekorn:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/41737413:04
ubot4Launchpad bug 417374 in rhythmbox "issue with .wma and crossfade" [Low,Incomplete]13:04
thekornTrijntje, I think pedro_  is asking for an wma file which triggers this bug, so others can try to reproduce your bug13:06
thekornhaha, speaking of the devil ;)13:07
pedro_what about me? :-)13:07
Trijntjepedro_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/417374, do you want me to upload a .wma file?13:08
ubot4Launchpad bug 417374 in rhythmbox "issue with .wma and crossfade" [Low,Incomplete]13:08
pedro_Trijntje, yes please, I've testing that with karmic and a wma file here and don't seem to trigger the issue13:10
Trijntjepedro_: ill upload a .wma file, thanks13:23
pedro_Trijntje, great, thanks13:24
Trijntjepedro_: i've also just found out that sometimes when i pause a .wma rhythmbox will segfault13:25
pedro_Trijntje, that's interesting, could you enable apport and report a bug with it? would be nice to have a backtrace of that13:25
Trijntjepedro_: ill do that13:29
arandIf apport retracing service sets a bug which should be private to public, is that a bug in apport (ubuntu) ?14:17
thekornarand, AFAIK, apport will never do the private -> public switch automatically,14:21
thekorndo you have an example where this happend?14:21
arandhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/+bug/41982114:22
ubot4arand: Error: This bug is private14:22
arandaccording to comments, the visibility was changed by apport, as soon as the bug was declared a dupe (I have since edited it, and it is currently NOT private *glares at ubot4)14:23
thekornaha,14:24
thekornok, the flag is removed when apport markes the bug as a duplicate of another one14:24
arandthekorn: seemingly.14:24
thekornin this process apport removes all common attachments created by apport,14:25
thekornbut not the 'random' ones added by a hook14:25
thekornwhich is of course a bug in apport14:25
* arand added apport to the bug report14:26
* arand added apport to the correct bug report ><14:27
thekornarand, adding an apport task to this bugreport makes no sense14:29
arandHmm, I'm guessing Bug #419895 should be two separate bug reports instead?14:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 419895 in ubuntuone-client "ubuntuone bug reports lists possibly private filenames/paths" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41989514:29
thekornarand, I agree, one for ubuntuone to not include filenames in the log uploaded to launchpad14:30
thekornand one gainst apport to also remove files added by a hook when unmarking a bug as private14:31
arandthekorn: Ok, how does Bug #419929 look?14:45
ubot4Launchpad bug 419929 in apport "Attachments added by a hook become public when bug is marked as a duplicate by retracer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41992914:45
thekornarand, good great14:46
thekornnow it needs some smart people to fix this ;)14:50
arandthekorn: Yea, guess my involvment ends there ;). Cheers for the help.14:54
thekornarand, your welcome. All I wanted to say was: Itried to find a solution for it, but it looks like it is not trivial, so *my* involvment ends here ;)14:56
