[13:26] <AlanBell> hi all
[13:26] <AlanBell> is there a futon client for desktop couchdb?
[13:26] <AlanBell> http://arstechnica.com/open-source/guides/2009/12/code-tutorial-make-your-application-sync-with-ubuntu-one.ars suggests there should be
[13:26] <AlanBell> but ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html does not exist for me
[15:55] <dsl_> can'y sync ubuntu one files from netbook remix computer, can anyone help please?
[15:55] <dsl_> can't*
[15:55] <AlanBell> dsl_: how far have you got with it?
[15:55] <AlanBell> and which version of netbook remix?
[15:57] <dsl_> AlanBell: latest version. set up account and added computer to account. i put a file in the ubuntuone folder but it doesn't get copied. checked account on web interface, same computer was added twice. removed both and followed install instructions but clicking 'ubuntu one' in internet tab doesn't launch browser page
[15:58] <dsl_> edited config file to set bandwidth limit to false as per troubleshooting instructions
[15:59] <dsl_> AlanBell: panel icon shows disconnected, when I click connect button in nautilus ubuntuone folder it connects briefly but no copy
[16:01] <dsl_> AlanBell: one sec... tried again and panel icon shows 'authentication failed' and opened log in page in browser
[16:01] <AlanBell> OK, I have no idea, but someone else no doubt will do
[16:02] <dsl_> AlanBell: that's taken me to the 'add this computer' page so fingers crossed
[16:05] <dsl_> AlanBell: well i now have a 'full' cloud icon on the panel and the button in nautilus reads 'disconnect' so i must be connected...but files don't appear to be copying. Does it usually happen automatically (syncing that is)
[16:08] <AlanBell> does for me, but I am not too sure, just here asking questions myself
[16:10] <dsl_> welll i just created a text file and saved it in ubuntuone folder but it doesn't appear when looking at file list via web interface
[16:13] <dsl_> ok, I just got a notifier saying 98 files updated (or uploaded ) which fits because i placed a lot of files/folders under ubuntuone. However the only file showing n the web is the text file i just created i.e. none of the folders or 98 files on my local computer
[16:21] <dsl_> ok, it's a bit odd but it works. I created a folder in ubuntuone and a text file within that folder. it sync'ed automatically and when i refreshed browser page this time all the previously created folders and files appeared"
[21:08] <pjfry1> Hello;
[21:56] <AlanBell> is this the best channel for desktopcouch questions?
[21:56] <AlanBell> I am struggling to get the futon client running
[21:56] <AlanBell> I think it is something to do with oauth
[21:58] <rtgz> AlanBell, this channel is mostly ubuntuone specific and there are no devs at this time here, what problem do you have?
[21:58] <rtgz> AlanBell, the dc already comes in with futon preconfigured and in case couchdb is running then futon is running as well
[21:59] <AlanBell> well the bookmark file with the oath token doesn't seem to exist
[21:59] <AlanBell> I don't have ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html
[22:00] <rtgz> AlanBell, ok, _sometimes_ it fails to create. This is a known bug (i guess) and supposedly fixed in dc (cannot check atm)
[22:00] <rtgz> AlanBell, however, you may try restarting the service
[22:00] <AlanBell> I tried rebooting
[22:00] <rtgz> AlanBell, /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop
[22:00] <rtgz> /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service
[22:01] <rtgz> AlanBell, I guess there is some kind of issue with dc controlling couchdb and whenever it gets no response (e.g. during initial login where all apps starting up compete for disk and CPU) it just gives up leaving us without the file.
[22:02] <AlanBell> ah OK. This is in a VM
[22:02] <AlanBell> just ran /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service stop
[22:02] <AlanBell> seems to be hanging, doesn't respond to ctrl+c
[22:02] <rtgz> AlanBell, mmm the stop cript is a separate one at the moment
[22:03] <rtgz>  /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop  is an actual script
[22:03] <AlanBell> ah, got it
[22:04] <AlanBell> ok, killed and now starting again
[22:04] <rtgz> you may try killing erland's bean.smp/bean to force couchdb shutdown
[22:04] <rtgz> AlanBell, it should display waiting... waiting... and then give the URL for the futon login-redirect page
[22:04] <AlanBell> yay!
[22:05] <rtgz> AlanBell, ?
[22:05] <AlanBell> I now have futon in my browser
[22:05] <AlanBell> thanks very much!
[22:05] <rtgz> :)
[22:06] <rtgz> AlanBell, you are very welcome, thanks for flying UbuntuOne airlines
[22:06] <rtgz> :)
[22:06] <AlanBell> I am using it to write an IRC client
[22:06] <rtgz> AlanBell, the logs are going to be stored in couchdb, i suppose?
[22:06] <AlanBell> yes, each message as a document
[22:07] <AlanBell> with views and couchtables to display them
[22:07] <AlanBell> so there is a daemon listening to your IRC channels and filling up the database
[22:08] <AlanBell> the client(s) just talk couchdb to get the data. To say something they create a record and the daemon says it for you.
[22:09] <rtgz> AlanBell, I made a simple telepathy logger to couchdb (1-1 connections only, never got to the groupchat)... You might want to join desktopcouch mailing list for the discussion of IM document format (not sure that IRC in your case IS viewed as IM, though)
[22:09] <AlanBell> yes, I just stumbled across that discussion on the google groups thing
[22:09] <AlanBell> it might be IM too
[22:10] <AlanBell> I was thinking of adding twitter
[22:10] <rtgz> http://groups.google.com/group/desktop-couchdb/subscribe
[22:10] <rtgz> AlanBell, yup, we need more CouchDB apps :)
[22:11] <AlanBell> I think it is going to be really really important for Ubuntu
[22:12] <rtgz> AlanBell, yep, the idea is very interesting. There are certain things that also need to be sorted, like document removals from the db and propagation of such removal (i guess it is done via _changes property now)
[22:12] <AlanBell> and I have been following couchdb since 2005
[22:12] <rtgz> And we need more robust framework...
[22:13] <rtgz> AlanBell, heh, I faced it only this September, with karmic alpha installs.
[22:14] <AlanBell> I was a Lotus Notes developer so I knew Damien Katz since before he left IBM the first time
[22:15] <AlanBell> deletion stubs are a fairly robust concept I think
[22:19] <rtgz> AlanBell, I am sorry for not being able to continue the discussion, but it is already tomorrow over here and I've got to go offline :)
[22:19] <rtgz> So, everyone, Happy New Year and devs, get the Tomboy note sync sorted out, pleeeease!
[22:19] <AlanBell> ok, bye for now rtgz
[22:19] <AlanBell> oh, the client is called cozy btw
[22:20] <rtgz> AlanBell, found the description on wiki :)
[22:20] <rtgz> okay, final bye :)
