AskHL_I have created a PPA which now contains a compiled package.  Having retrieved the GPG key using apt-key and added the PPA to the archives on my computer (remembering to apt-get update), I can find this package using apt-get search.  But from inside Synaptic the package doesn't appear even though I search for its precise name.  What could possibly be the reason for this?00:43
AskHL_I mean apt-cache search, not apt-get search.00:44
wgrantAskHL_: Did the package successfully build?00:45
wgrantWhich is your PPA?00:45
AskHL_wgrant, it built successfully.  Actually I can find it from by navigating the menus in Synaptic00:46
AskHL_...find it from the lists by navi...00:46
wgrantI don't use Synaptic, but IIRC it has some extra search indices that might not be updated frequently.00:47
AskHL_It's just that it doesn't turn up in a search00:47
AskHL_wgrant, thank you.  I'll take a closer look at what synaptic is doing.00:48
AskHL_Ahh, of course.  It must be because of the "quick search" feature not updating immediately.  An ordinary search does in fact work.  Thanks again00:50
jkakarIs it just me, or is Launchpad (edge) mega slow?01:28
wgrantjkakar: Pretty quick (Launchpad-relative) for me.01:30
jkakarwgrant: Cool, thanks.01:30
jkakarI'm seeing 18-24s page loads. :/01:31
wgrantjkakar: Which pages?01:32
jkakarwgrant: project overview and individual bug pages.01:32
wgrantHere it's < 5s for most pages, which is better than normal...01:32
jkakarInteresting, a milestone page with 112 bugs just loaded in 5.8s.01:32
wgrantLots of that was probably SQL time, too.01:33

yann2hello07:23
yann2I am having massive issues reporting bugs since launchpad has been upgraded to 307:23
yann2I want to report a bug against open-iscsi07:23
yann2https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi07:23
yann2how can I do this? I click on report bug it sends me to the wiki, which doesnt work07:23
micahgyann2: this is a question for #ubuntu-bugs, but you can use ubuntu-bug open-iscsi07:25
yann2its for a server...07:26
micahgare you on an ubuntu machine right now?07:26
yann2yes07:27
micahgyou can still use ubuntu-bug07:27
yann2well it will send my own machine details07:27
yann2and it doesnt even have openiscsi installed07:27
micahgthat should be ok, I think07:27
micahgyeah, it'll just note you don't have it installed07:28
micahgthey are working on bug submission from the command line07:28

wgrantyann2: Why not run ubuntu-bug on the server...?08:26
yann2wgrant > if its the same than on my laptop it s a GTK program08:26
wgrantyann2: It also has a CLI frontend.08:27
yann2what package is it in wgrant ?08:38
yann2is it in main?08:38
wgrantIt's on the CDs and installed by default (even on servers, I believe), so yes, it is in main.08:39
wgrantI presume it's in the apport package.08:39
wgrantIt is.08:40
wgrantyann2: ^^08:40
yann2yhamon@nomachine:~$ ubuntu-bug08:42
yann2-bash: ubuntu-bug: command not found08:42
yann2yhamon@nomachine:~$ apt-cache search --names-only ubuntu-bug08:42
yann2yhamon@nomachine:~$08:42
yann2ah apport08:42
yann2ok :)08:42
wgrantIt's in the server and uec seeds. Which release is that?08:43
yann2hardy, its in apport08:44
wgrantAh. Might not have been installed by default back then.08:44
yann2but then it wont work for machines that dont have access to internet :)08:44
wgrantWhat would you like to do? Your options are:08:45
wgrant...08:45
wgrant  K: Keep report file for sending later or copying to somewhere else08:45
wgrantThat is probably why that option exists.08:45
yann2ok thx08:46
yann2rah it crashes my console08:47
yann2bah, I give up.08:48
yann2thanks for the help08:48
wgrantUse the link at the bottom of the wiki page.08:48
wgrantThat will let you report bugs without apport.08:48
yann2thanks08:49
wgrantBut it is strongly, strongly discouraged.08:49
yann2I want to report a bug that says "openiscsi should not disconnect shares on upgrade"08:50
yann2I don't understand how much additional infos would be necessary08:50
wgrantThe version of the package, for one thing.08:50
yann2I used to be able to select the ubuntu version int he web interface :P08:51
wgrantNo.08:52
wgrantThat was never possible.08:52
yann2would have been a good idea 0:-)08:52
wgrantCertainly.08:53
wgrantBut apparently Bugs devs disagree...08:53
yann2well understand me, I used to be able to do something in a way, now I need to install 5MB on my production servers, copy files around, and well, it doesnt even work08:54
yann2it just seems more complicated and I wonder how many people will just stop reporting bugs08:54
yann2sure, most power users wont mind :/08:55
micahg1yann2: I'm pretty sure console base apport will be a feature in lucid08:55
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
wgrantNote that many Ubuntu developers vehemently disagree with the enforced ubuntu-bug usage.08:55
yann2then hoy do you report bugs that are not related to a package in particular? :(08:55
wgrantmicahg: It works fine in Karmic...08:55
micahgwgrant: ok, but I meant for LTS08:56
micahgyann2: probably go in another project08:56
micahgyou can come in #ubuntu-bugs and ask :)08:56
yann2I wanted to report that there were two CD burners in karmic desktop at some point08:56
yann2nautilus and brasero, both in different places in the menu, but doing the same thing08:57
micahgyann2: nautilus is the file manager with a burn feature I guess08:57
micahgbut brasero is the actual burner08:57
yann2you actually had "Application accessories Nautilus cd writer"  and "applications Sound&video Brasero cd burner"08:58
yann2or something like that08:58
micahgoh, you could probably report against ubuntu-desktop08:58
yann2tried08:58
yann2well I tried using the web interface... :)08:59
micahgubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop08:59
wgrantmicahg: Er, why?08:59
micahgwhy what?  if he wants to report a bug against installing 2 burners for ubuntu-desktop09:00
wgrantNautilus and Brasero must both be installed, so it's not a metapackage problem.09:00
micahgwgrant: why?09:00
wgrantNautilus only handles burning files.09:01
micahgah, so there is no bug like I said originally09:01
wgrantThere is a bug.09:01
wgrantThere are two shown.09:01
wgrantBut it is not a metapackage bug.09:01
micahghuh?09:02
yann2(it was a while back :)  )09:02
micahgif they are installed, shouldn't they be shown?09:02
micahgand shouldn't this actually move to #ubuntu-bugs09:02
wgrantThere is no point having two items.09:02
wgrantAnd I don't have the Nautilus CD burner stuff; are you sure you don't have a residual nautilus-cd-burner installation?09:03
yann2nah it was a karmic install like 3 weeks ago in a vm09:03
geserit gets OT but how did you manage to install both as brasero conflicts nautilus-cd-burner?09:13
alkisg_workHello! Can I get "debug debs" from a ppa, similar to what https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash says for the primary ubuntu archives?09:14
oSoMoNhi all09:15
wgrantalkisg_work: Discussing it literally right now.09:15
alkisg_workHeh :09:15
alkisg_workThanks wgrant, I'll downgrade to the version that's in the primary archives09:16
oSoMoNI'm looking at the integrated code review process in launchpad09:16
oSoMoNso reviews are linked to a branch09:16
bigjoolsalkisg_work: so the short answer is, not right now, but wgrant will make your wish come true09:16
oSoMoNwhat happens when a branch that had reviews linked to it is deleted?09:16
wgrantoSoMoN: The reviews are deleted too.09:16
wgrantBut you don't have to delete branches.09:16
wgrantI don't particularly like the fact that they can be deleted.09:17
wgrantMost projects do not delete them.09:17
oSoMoNwell one may want to delete a particular branch, but I agree that in general there's no need to do that09:17
oSoMoNthanks for the answer09:18
alkisg_workUh, would it be possible for someone to help me find a direct http link to the debug version of "italc-client" .deb for jaunty? He'd save me from having to modify the sources of a lot of client PCs...09:19
wgrantalkisg_work: The ddeb, you mean?09:19
alkisg_workwgrant: Yes, I think so09:19
alkisg_work(I'd like to produce a backtrace)09:20
wgrantalkisg_work: Why do you want it? Why not just submit the crash and let it be retraced automatically?09:20
alkisg_workwgrant: I don't get a crash dump09:20
wgrantAh.09:20
alkisg_workUhm... could I modify some setting to get a crash dump?09:20
wgrantYou could. But it's easy enough to grab the ddeb.09:21
alkisg_work(btw, that's what I'm getting: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/293711/)09:22

sinzuimatsubara: no, but registry does not often look at login issues. This is defintely coming from SSO too17:34
jmlok, so where were we.17:34
matsubarasinzui, sorry to bother you then. I guess it's foundations then17:35
sinzuilogin, and creation stuff is usually foundations, but since this traceback shows account, that may also mean it is ISD who manages SSO17:37

sbordetguys, I got another email asking me to finish my account17:41
sbordetI entered name and again password17:41
sbordetgot this error:17:41
sbordetThe email address simone.bordet@gmail.com is already registered in the Launchpad Login Service (used by the Ubuntu shop and other OpenID sites). Please use the same email and password to log into Launchpad.17:41
sbordettried to login as before, but got another oops17:43
matsubarasbordet, what happens if you try to login using: https://login.launchpad.net/17:43
matsubara?17:43
sbordetmatsubara, I get a message saying that:17:44
sbordetThe email address 'simone.bordet@gmail.com' has not yet been confirmed. We sent an email to that address with instructions on how to confirm that it belongs to you.17:44
sbordetand I do not proceed17:44
matsubarasbordet, I think you're hitting bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-foundations/+bug/41597717:48
ubottuLaunchpad bug 415977 in launchpad-foundations "Password recovery on account creation is confusing for non-Launchpad users" [High,Triaged]17:48
matsubarasbordet, not sure what's the workaround though since when we tried the reset password using login.launchpad.net you hit an oops17:50
sbordetmatsubara, yes :(17:51
sbordetmatsubara, can you delete my account entirely ?17:51
matsubarasbordet, I can't. one way of workaround this is to go to launchpad.net, click the login/register button, add your email address like: simone.bordet+lp@gmail.com and then proceed with the new account creation17:53
matsubarathis will effectively create a new account on Launchpad that will allow you to file bugs on Ubuntu as you intended initially17:54
matsubaralater on you can merge your old account with the newly created account17:54
sbordetmatsubara, but should I create that gmail account ?17:54
LaPingvinothe plus and everything behind it leads to the address mentioned before the plus17:55
matsubarasbordet, no need, gmail works that way. if you add a +anything to your account it'll go to your main gmail account17:55
LaPingvinothe plus and the rest are ignored by gmail17:55

Remaillehi, I am abit lost with bzr (beginner). I uploaded a full source code on LP with bzr21:47
Remaillenow, I have received another set from somebody else and i would like do merge it with the one on LP21:48
Remailleit is translations actually21:48
Remaillehow coudl i do that ? bzr commit sends me "not a branch"21:49
Remaillethanks21:49
mathepicbzr branch MAIN_LOC21:51
mathepicthen go into the directory created21:51
mathepicthen bzr merge OTHER_LOC21:52
Remaillehum, sorry for not being "clear" : on LP i have a source code translated at 50%21:55
Remaillei juste received the other half of the translated file21:55
Remaillefilenales are the same, directory structure too21:55
Remaillethnaks :)21:55
mzzRemaille: so the thing you received isn't a bzr branch at all, right?21:55
Remailleyes juste a big zip with plenty of python files in it21:56
mzzRemaille: I guess I'd just check out what's on launchpad, then untar or whatever the files you received on top of that, then "bzr st"/"bzr di" to check for sanity, then commit and push to launchpad21:56
mzzand "check out" was the wrong word, I meant "get"21:56
Remaillebzr st : not a branch21:57
Remaille:s21:57
mzzRemaille: that's assuming the zip you got contains no .bzr directory and was based on the same version of the code as what's in launchpad21:57
mzzRemaille: how did you get what's in launchpad?21:57
Remaillei pushed it as a very first commit a few days ago21:58
mzzRemaille: the idea is to unzip the files you got on top of your bzr branch of what's in launchpad, while leaving the .bzr directory intact21:58
Remailleone guy translated the menus of the soft, one another translated the tabs21:58
mzzRemaille: I can't give you exact instructions without knowing the exact branch names and pathnames involved21:58
Remaillehttps://code.launchpad.net/linuxedu21:59
mzzRemaille: do you still have the branch you pushed to launchpad?21:59
Remaillethe folder are ~/sadms/sadms_marc and ~/sadms/sadms_bruno21:59
Remaille ~/sadms/sadms_bruno has been pushed to LP21:59
Remailleyes22:00
mzzRemaille: ok. "bzr st" inside ~/sadms/sadms_bruno gives no output, right?22:00
mzzRemaille: and "bzr st" inside the other sadms gives "not a branch"?22:00
Remaillemzz, right no output22:00
Remaillemzz, yes22:00
mzzRemaille: then I'd "cp -r ../sadms_marc/* ." from inside sadms_bruno, then run "bzr st", assuming I understand what was modified correctly22:01
mzzspecifically: I'm hoping they didn't both modify the same files22:01
Remaillemzz, they did ! ;-)22:02
Remaille:-s22:02
mzzit's possible this cp operation replaces a few files with older versions. "bzr st" and "bzr di" should tell you if that happened, and you can then just "bzr revert" to get the newer files back22:02
mzzok, bzr can still help, but this'll be a bit more of a hassle22:02
Remaillei thought it would be simple as "bzr merge"22:02
mzzoh wait22:02
mzzyou only have the one revision of this in bzr, right?22:03
Remailleyes22:03
mzzerr, that makes this more awkward22:03
Remaillegosh22:03
mzzif the version of the code modified by sadms_marc was in bzr you could branch that revision, commit the changes from sadms_marc on top of that, and then merge the two branches22:04
mzzhmm, let me see if there's a trick to make bzr still help here22:04
mzzRemaille: the problem is that without ancestry information bzr can't tell which changes in sadms_marc are desirable and which aren't22:05
mzzRemaille: if bzr knows about the version both sadms_marc and sadms_bruno are based on it can use that to tell what's what22:06
mzzI think I'd just do the merge by hand here22:06
mzzsomeone else here might have a better idea though.22:07
Remaillethanks a lot mzz I learned a lot on bzr :)22:14
Remaille(need to learn more ! ;-))22:14
mzzRemaille: basically you have more information than bzr does (you know about the previous revision, so you can tell which of the differences between _marc and _bruno are actually changes from that original revision to _bruno and which are the actual changes from that original revision to _marc which you want)22:15
mzzbzr doesn't know about that original revision, so it doesn't know what the changes from that revision to _marc are, only what the differences between _marc and _bruno are22:15
mzzand that's not enough information to do the merge automatically22:16
mzzthis will obviously get better as you use bzr a bit longer and you start having the version of the code contributors work on in bzr (or even better: contributors start using bzr too)22:17
mzzoh, also #bzr is a good place to ask about this kind of thing (I actually thought this was #bzr)22:17
