nunyab_Hello, does anyone know of a fix for the logon loop issue?03:38
hggdhwhat logon loop issue?03:44
micahgbdmurray: latest lp extension is awesome04:15
bdmurraymicahg: thanks!04:38
micahgbdmurray: if I think of some other keywords I'll let you know04:39
micahg1bdmurray: greasemonkey shouldn't do its thing on the +edit page :)07:16
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
micahgbdmurray: it actually seems like it interferes with the LP AJAX stuff07:18
KermiacHi ppl. Anyone around I can ask about a problem I'm having with "Compiled LPGM Scripts"?09:05
jmarsdenKermiac: Unless your issue is related to bug triage, ask in #ubuntu not here.09:06
Kermiacok, sorry mate09:06
persiaOR file a bug, and we may be able to help triage it.09:09
persiaThe point being that this isn't a support channel.09:10
KermiacThanks persia. Well, I do use it to help automate some of the tasks for bug triage... but I also understand the point jmarsden made that this isn't a support channel. I was just wondering if anyone in here uses it.  i've filed a "question" https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-gm-scripts/+question/9651409:12
persiaKermiac: That looks like a bug either in launchpad or the LP_Karma_Sufix scripts.09:14
persiaDunno if LP_Karma_Suffix scripts have a bug tracker, but if they do, filing there would serve you best.09:14
Kermiacthanks for having a look persia. Yeah, I filed the question against their PPA. Now that someone else thinks it looks like a bug I'll go ahead & link a bug report to the question too. Thanks for the advice09:16
persiaWell, the trick is figuring out where to put the bug.09:16
persiaLast I knew, there wasn't a way to link a bug to a PPA, and we tend not to like bugs against PPAs filed against Ubuntu.09:17
KermiacI installed it from their PPA, but the scripts are also on Launchpad09:18
Kermiachttps://edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-gm-scripts09:18
persiaThat's a project!  File a bug there.09:20
persiaAnd if you're lucky, somewhere on that project page it will explain how to contact the devs, and where to ask for support (I doubt #ubuntu is right for this case)09:20
Kermiacyeah, that's what I was going to do. Thanks again persia :)09:20
LimCoreguys.. what is up with kgpg.. seriously13:48

thekornbddebian, what would I do without you, your daily "boo" tells me when it's time to go home ;)15:19
bddebianHeh :)15:21
bdrungseb128: can you have a look at bug #504153 and #503789 (you uploaded the lastest gtkmm2.4 package)?16:05
ubot4Launchpad bug 504153 in libkml "Please sync libkml 1.1.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)." [Wishlist,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50415316:05
ubot4Launchpad bug 503789 in gbgoffice "Please sync gbgoffice 1.4-5 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)." [Wishlist,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50378916:05
seb128bdrung, I just update the thing, code is come from upstream though16:06
bdrungseb128: do you think that this is an upstream bug or do the packages need an update to be compatible to the new version?16:08
seb128bdrung, seems rather an upstream bug16:09
seb128I've pinged the upstream maintainer on IRC16:09
seb128waiting for a reply now16:09
bdrungthanks. what's the name of their irc channel?16:10
fujimitsulimcore mentioned some kgpg segfault issue earlier. just installed kgpg myself and it fails to start at all, even from terminal, it throws me back at prompt with no errors..16:13
jcastrohggdh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Upstream/Contacts16:37
jcastrohggdh: I've been changing the tone to be not so strict-sounding16:37
hggdhjcastro: looking16:47
hggdhjcastro: may I add/change?17:01
jcastrohggdh: feel free!17:03
hggdhjcastro, changes saved17:30
hggdhjcastro: the most important (for me) was changing the tone on the first sentence17:31
jcastrohggdh: those changes are much better, thank you17:52
cyan-spamhi all. has anyone gotten a chance to look at the FindRightPackage improvements i mailed out a week or so ago?19:14

Flare183cyan-spam: Link?19:45
cyan-spamflare183: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2009-December/001719.html19:46
* Flare183 reads it19:47
Flare183cyan-spam: I see what your saying about the Wiki Page.19:48
cyan-spamflare183: mhm. what do you think about my changes? do they help? do they target the right group of readers?19:55
Flare183hmmm19:55
Flare183cyan-spam: Think it does target the correct group of readers. I like the changes, but I also think you might want a second opinion too. Because like, I'm only one person so yeah.19:56
cyan-spamflare183: yeah. thank you :)19:57
Flare183cyan-spam: Your welcome :)19:57
hggdhcyan-spam: looking, and sorry for the delay20:00
hggdhcyan-spam: on the example for xprop -- you say " the slash is important", should be "the backslash ..."20:08
cyan-spamhggdh: ok. thank you for checking it out!20:08
hggdhcyan-spam: still going through it20:08
hggdhbut I like it very much20:09
cyan-spamsweet20:09
hggdhon " finding the right package -- you might want to add in ' apt-file': " apt-file search picasa.exe", for example. apt-file works for all packages, even if not installed (and dpkg -S only works for installed packages)20:11
cyan-spamhggdh: hey, i didn't even know about that command. thanks!20:11
hggdhsudo apt-get install apt-file20:11
cyan-spamah ok20:11
hggdhcharlie-tca: around? what is the name for the display manager on xubuntu?20:12
cyan-spamhggdh: it uses gdm20:13
hggdhah, thanks, I have all three installed, but under gdm, so I was not sure20:13
hggdhcyan-spam: marvelous, thank you very much. Please put it in place20:15
cyan-spamhggdh: will do, thanks so much for checking it out20:15
hggdhcyan-spam: are you interested if following coreutils bugs?20:24
cyan-spamhggdh: possibly, if you need help there. i do work on the command line enough20:25
charlie-tcahggdh: yeah, I am here. I had to grab food20:27
hggdhcharlie-tca: cyan-spam already answered, thank you20:34
charlie-tcano problem20:34
hggdhcyan-spam: all help is welcome ;-)20:34
hggdhand I have been sorta busy lately, and there are some 80 bugs on coreutils to go through20:35
cyan-spamhm ok20:35
cyan-spami assume this is in response to my mentor request?20:35
charlie-tcaPlease, as these pages get re-written, let's not forget the dirivatives. So much is being centered on Ubuntu only again20:35
cyan-spamcharlie-tca: are there any glaring places i ignored derivatives?20:36
charlie-tcaHaven't looked that over good yet. more and more, I see references to "in gnome" or "in ubuntu" and it leaves out kubuntu and xubuntu mythbuntu20:37
charlie-tcaI'm trying to read it now20:38
cyan-spamcharlie-tca: ok. i was about to submit... want me to wait?20:38
charlie-tcaNo, go ahead. We can add later if we need to.20:38
cyan-spamok20:38
charlie-tcaI think you waited long enough already... ;-(20:39
cyan-spamhehe20:39
cyan-spami think this /page/ has waited long enough20:39
hggdhcyan-spam: yes, it can be in response ;-)20:39
charlie-tcayeah, that sounds right.20:40
charlie-tcahggdh: I am trying to get back up to par on bugs. Then I will take on mentee's.20:40
cyan-spamhggdh: haha, ok. i mentioned on my wiki page that i've been going through bugs without a package in my free time lately. it doesn't seem too many people have been working on that.20:40
hggdhcharlie-tca: great news (cuz this means you are doing better)!20:41
charlie-tcaThis is true, too20:41
hggdhcyan-spam: OK. Would you like me as your mentor?20:41
cyan-spamhggdh: if you have time! i know you are involved in a lot20:41
hggdhcyan-spam: OK, I will accept you & mark the wiki accordingly20:43
yofelcyan-spam: heh, I look through no-package bugs too, now if that bug count would actually start decreasing...20:43
cyan-spamyofel: seriously. it's never-ending!20:44
charlie-tcacyan-spam: the parts about "Launch System - Preferences"; Xubuntu doesn't have that at all; I don't think kubuntu does either20:44
cyan-spamhggdh: sweet, thanks!20:44
yofelI'm looking though the older ones right now, there are a lot from the karmic testing phase that weren't looked at at all20:44
charlie-tcathat whole paragraph applies to gnome desktop environment only20:44
cyan-spamcharlie-tca: the "application without a menu" part? you're right.20:45
charlie-tcaThe first section under Determining the Executable Path20:45
cyan-spamafter all, what /is/ the policy for derivatives? which derivatives are we supposed to include?20:46
cyan-spami tried to stick with ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu since those are listed as "officially supported" on ubuntu.com20:46
cyan-spamthough that section is obviously missing kubuntu.20:46
charlie-tcaOfficial recognized derivatives stick to the wiki pages as much as possible20:47
cyan-spamso all wiki pages should support ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu studio, mythbuntu? (i know there's overlap)20:47
charlie-tcaUbuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Netmix, and I think Mythbuntu/mythtv now20:48
cyan-spamnetmix forgot that one too20:48
cyan-spamthat's quite a list...20:48
charlie-tcaYeah, and we all have to change how it works, just to make it worse20:48
yofelcyan-spam: the menu-editor in kde is launched with: right click the application launcher -> Menu Editor20:48
charlie-tcaXubuntu has no menu-editor20:48
cyan-spamyofel: if you'd like to add instructions for kubuntu that would be awesome. i don't have kde installed20:49
charlie-tcaThat's why I said we will add/change it as needed. The main thing is get something usable out there20:49
yofelcyan-spam: might do that over the weekend, but it would be nice if your page could be uploaded first so I have a clean page to work with20:49
yofelcyan-spam: exactly20:50
yofelcharlie-tca: ^^^20:50
charlie-tcaI'll go through this weekend too20:50
cyan-spamcharlie-tca: ok20:50
cyan-spamyofel: i've submitted it already20:50
cyan-spamhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage20:50
charlie-tcaGreat job on it, by the way20:51
cyan-spamcharlie-tca: thank you :)20:51
charlie-tcaWe like usable pages20:51
cyan-spamhaha me too.20:51
cyan-spami hated telling bug reporters to look at that page when i could barely use it myself!20:52
cyan-spamhggdh: so what are the next steps?20:55
hggdhcyan-spam: you can pretty much keep on doing what you are doing now -- and, of course, you can ask any questions you want to, to myself or anybody else here.20:56
hggdhcyan-spam: meanwhile, I will be checking your bug work from now on :-)20:56
cyan-spamhggdh: ok, sounds good. i'll have to behave then ;)21:13
cyan-spamsigning off for now21:13
cyan-spamsee yall21:13
yofelbdmurray: again about the lp-scripts. The file that needs to be updated with a newer kernel response is http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/greasemonkey/bugsquad-replies.xml . I have no idea who has to do that and you're the only one I know I can ask ^^21:25
bdmurrayyofel: please pastebin or e-mail me what you think the response should be and I'll look at changing it21:25
yofelbdmurray: all I want is it to use the response from the wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Debugging%20Kernel%20General The one it uses right now is the old one.21:27
hggdhyofel: would you be willing to try bug 264313 fwith a coreutils from GIT?21:28
ubot4Launchpad bug 264313 in coreutils "ls --color hangs for directories linked from network " [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26431321:28
yofelhggdh: sure21:29
hggdh(I mean, git clone git://git.gnu.org/coreutils, and go from there ;-)21:29
yofelthough thinking a bit more about the issue I guess this is ls trying to find out if the link is broken or not and NFS hanging itself up to not lose data21:29
hggdhor I could start packaging it21:29
hggdhbut only happens with --color, right?21:30
bdmurrayyofel: okay, got it21:30
yofelhggdh: yes, but only --color actually cares if a link is broken or not (different color)21:31
hggdhah, yes21:31
* hggdh does not have any remote fs to test on21:31
yofelI'll test git now anyway21:31
hggdhyofel: you will also need automake 1.11.1, Lucid carries 1.1121:32
hggdhso... git clone git://git.gnu.org/automake21:32
hggdhupstream is going now to 8.3, and we are still at 7.4...21:33
