apwpitti, any idea what is causeing the partial updates in our burn-down charts?  i am guessing we have only our wiki entries.  may make more sense to drop those days completely10:48
pittiapw: partial updates?10:48
apwpitti, http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-kernel-team.html <-- four days back and like 1610:49
pittioh10:49
pittithose happen if the WI tracker crashed either all day, or in the very last run of the day10:49
pittisometimes happens if LP is down10:49
ograapw, that points out where the team was really slackish :)10:49
apwheh10:50
pittior just falls over with those silly "cannot decode JSON object" stuff, etc.10:50
pittiapw: the 12th was a bug in the WI tracker, not being able to cope with blueprints being milestoned to "later"10:50
apwif we are usiing a single transaction i'd expect the DB to not get updated in that case10:50
pittithis is fixed now10:50
pittibut since it was on the weekend, I didn't fix it fast enough10:50
pittiapw: right10:50
pittiapw: but you'd still not get any WI data for that day if it fails all day10:51
apwpitti, perhaps we should purge the wiki data for that day too, so its clear there is no data for the day10:51

persiaThat's not best.12:20
persiaIt probably doesn't work, and probably needs some bugs filed.12:20
persiaSame question was asked (with same idle time) also in other channels :(12:21

Tm_Tsay12:22
Chipzzpersia: personnally I prefer the saying it does and having him blow money on it approach :P12:23
Chipzzapparently ppl only learn the hard way12:23
persiaChipzz: I don't think that approach is the one that leads to the best result in terms of Ubuntu's hardware support, and I prefer to concentrate on that (because I actually care a little), rather than on user behaviour (because there are lots of other users)12:24
Chipzzpersia: ubuntu hardware support is an orthogonal issue12:24
persiaChipzz: Also, consider the possibility that the user is incredibly intelligent and well informed in several areas, but has never used IRC before, and is completely unaware of how it works.12:24
Chipzzif he's unaware of how it works12:25
Chipzzhe shouldn't be using it12:25
Chipzzare you driving a car if you don't have a drivers licence?12:25
Tm_TChipzz: should we say same to all users in #ubuntu too? (:12:25
persiaWell, except that lots of documentation indicates that one *should* use IRC to request support.12:25
Tm_Tpersia: exactly12:26
persiaThat users may not know how the first time is an opportunity for education (which we can take or not as we prefer, individually)12:26
Chipzzthen said documentation should do a better job of educating users on how to use irc12:26
persiaI'll agree with that :)12:26
Chipzzlike telling the users to read the frigging topic BEFORE asking questions12:26
Chipzzand after reading it, also comprehending and obeying it12:27
Chipzzpersia: anyway, given that a) he uses an @openoffice.org address, which indicates he is a developer and thus fully aware of how things work in the opensource world, and b) he was doing it on multiple channels it's a pretty good guess that he was fully aware of what he was doing and wether or not it was acceptable behaviour12:34

* pitti is just reviewing the existing hooks and is impressed how many we have these days13:15
tseliotKeybuk: do we do something like "press this key to stop the fsck in Plymouth" already? If so, how do you call plymouth from mountall to write the "press this key..." line? Do you use "--update=" and then watch-keystroke or do you use "message" instead of "--update="?13:15
pittipeople use interactivity, and all that13:15
Keybuktseliot: err13:17
tseliottoo many questions? :-P13:18
Keybuktseliot: ply_boot_client_tell_daemon_to_display_message()13:18
Keybukthen ply_boot_client_ask_daemon_to_watch_for_keystroke()13:18
Keybukwith ply_boot_client_update_daemon() before both of those13:19
Keybukso all three ;)13:19
tseliotKeybuk: ok, so you're using "message" to request action and "update" to update the status of fsck13:20
Keybuktseliot: right13:20
Keybukso update to update the fsck progress13:20
Keybukthen message to put a message on the screen about being able to cancel13:20
Keybukthen watch for keystroke to actually get told if they press that key13:20
tseliotKeybuk: ok, I was asking as I'm reimplementing a few functions in the theme and I wanted to implement bug #49731113:21

tseliotKeybuk: so, with that feature you would have to call ply_boot_client_tell_daemon_to_display_message() twice13:22
KeybukI would?13:22
tseliotif you wanted to have 2 lines13:22
Keybukthat's ok ;)13:23
tseliotok13:23
Keybukit was more wanting to have a line along the bottom to put keypress information13:23
Keybuk"Press C to cancel" etc.13:23
Keybuksince the middle is already taken up by the theme's fsck stuff13:23
tseliotok, so the theme would have 1st line = message, 2nd line = fsck status, 3rd line = action text13:24
Keybuksure13:25
tseliotKeybuk: at this point I think that implementing bug #509373 would not be trivial13:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 509373 in plymouth "Plymouth doesn't wrap long messages" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50937313:25
tseliotwell, doing it right, that is13:26
tseliotKeybuk: do you think I can postpone that? Or do you need that feature too?13:27
Keybuktseliot: wrapping of long lines seems more of a DX issue to me ;)13:28
Keybukit's definitely "experience" related13:28
tseliotKeybuk: ah, so the question would be more whether we want to have long lines or not13:29
tseliotit makes sense13:29

tkamppeterpitti, I have got a package for the "ptouch" label printer driver (http://www.openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=ptouch) and I have reviewed it and added the standard Ubuntu extensions (PPD update, Apport hook).13:43

pittitkamppeter: does it need to be in main? but yes, no big problem13:49
ionLe sigh, an apparmor profile change on upgrade caused the computer to grind to a halt again, thanks to the kernel module misbehaving.13:50
tkamppeterpitti, it is a printer driver, which means hardware support. Having it in main gives more Plug'n'Print already from the live CD.13:52
pittitkamppeter: adding it to the CDs is a bigger step, we have to justify CD size versus popularity13:53

jibelmvo, hello, I'm working on synaptic "sorting" issues of the package list.16:09
mathiazgeser: is there a workaround?16:10
jibelmvo, we currently can't sort by package name and I noticed there is no sort mode to change the sort order of this column. Is it intended or do you need a fix ?16:11

mvojibel: hi, let me check the bug16:17
mvojibel: you mean that reverse sorting is not working? it would be nice to fix that16:17
jibelmvo, you can only sort packages in ascending order, descending does nothing.16:19
jibelmvo, in rpackagelister.cc only LIST_SORT_NAME is defined.16:21
mvojibel: right, I remember now, it should be realtively straightforward to fix I hope, the other sorting columns should give you the needed info. do you think you could work on this code? I'm happy to help with specific questions16:27

smoseri've a packaging question. what is the general rule for the name of 'Source'. should it be the same as upstream package name (to the extent possible) or should it be the same as the binary.20:07
smoseras an example: http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/20:07
sebnersmoser: what's the binary name?20:07
slangaseksmoser: I believe the general rule is to name the source package to match the upstream package name as closely as possible, unless you're packaging perl20:07
smoserproject is 'snoopy', but package (and in this case Source) is 'libphp-snoopy'20:07
slangasek(though arguably, the perl source package naming also matches upstream "as closely as possible")20:07
sebnersmoser: I'd go with snoopy then20:08
smoseri'm looking to package 'cloudfusion' which would have a binary named 'libcloudfusion-php'20:08
