[00:34] directhex, anything i can help with on the mono/u1ms bindings ? [00:34] i've got time over the next few days to throw at it if needed [02:06] If a package is in Debian NEW, can I request a motu-release ACK (for a FFE) for it at that point, or do I still need to go through REVU? (NEW seems to have several weeks of backlog) [02:10] lfaraone: Only ftpmasters can pull from NEW, so it needs to go somewhere. [02:10] persia: well, it'd also be in mentors. [02:10] NEW is stalled [02:10] lfaraone: But that a package is in NEW counts as one of two developer advocations, in my book. [02:11] persia: (and I've had packages synced from NEW before freezes before :) ) [02:11] Where is bdefreese when one needs him :) [02:11] lfaraone: You've never had a package synched from NEW (although it may have appeared that way). [02:12] The set of people who can see NEW doesn't happen to include any of the set of people that can perform a sync. [02:12] syncing from NEW would be bad [02:13] It's *not* possible. [02:13] Anyway, back to the matter at hand. [02:13] There exists a package that was reviewed/advocated by a Debian Developer. [02:13] Just needs some Ubuntu Developer to advocate and upload it. [02:14] Needs an FFe, same as any new package. [02:14] persia: okay, thanks. [02:14] If it's already on mentors, no need to separately upload to REVU. mentors works fine for review. [02:22] persia: would you have a chance to advocate http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/maintainer-packages?action=details;package=groundcontrol then? :) [02:22] (so I can file for a FFe) [02:24] lfaraone: File for the FFe first. Subscribe me. I've reviewed that package enough times before that I'm confident I'll be advocating and uploading with the FFe approved. [02:34] I am trying to debug a python based application that calls multiple other python files, I was wondering if there was a way to view what python file is calling a certain definition in another file? [02:34] Linux000: Do you have a crash, or just undesireable behaviour? [02:37] The app still runs, but only in a loop, i.e. I run the app, it should launch a graphical window, however it prints an error out to the log without stopping, not sure what to call it [02:37] That's a loop :) [02:37] persia: done, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/486807 [02:37] Launchpad bug 486807 in ubuntu "[needs-packaging] groundcontrol" [Wishlist,In progress] [02:37] * persia isn't good at debugging loops [02:38] lfaraone: Cool. OI've put it on my TODO list. When it gets ubuntu-release feedback, I'll do something more complicated. [02:38] Okay, I found what file is causing the loop(I think) I just need to know what process is calling it [02:39] Check with the folk in #ubuntu-bugs : they tend to have expertise in debugging. I don't happen to know the python equivalent of `set -x` [02:40] there isn't one [02:40] however [02:40] persia: there isn't one, you can only use pdb. [02:40] python -m pdb [02:40] Linux000: ^^ [02:40] will run in pdb, and when it breaks leave you in jit debugging mode [02:40] lifeless: Thanks === emma_ is now known as emma [03:32] just a quick question, having an issue with cdbs's debhelper.mk calling dh_installinfo and having it catch a metadata containing file with a .info extension.

[04:21] Could someone please test this package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tahoe-lafs/+bug/529350 [04:21] Launchpad bug 529350 in tahoe-lafs "please upgrade Tahoe-LAFS in Lucid to v1.6.1 of Tahoe-LAFS" [Undecided,In progress] [04:29] greetings zooko [04:29] jayvee: Hi there [05:04] zooko, do you run ubuntu? [05:07] jayvee: yes, but I don't have an ubuntu machine to hand at the moment. [05:07] zooko, can I provide an ubuntu vm for you to test in? [05:08] I'd do more testing, except I have no idea how to work this software [05:10] jayvee: it is easy! http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/running.html [05:10] :-) [05:10] Oh wait, somebody has added a lot of words to that page. [05:10] I'm reading that, and not getting very far [05:11] Why not? [05:11] Sounds like I need to file a bug report on that page. :_) [05:13] oh, just the feedback I'm getting is not very descriptive [05:13] "introducer node probably started" [05:14] I'm basically expecting to see "tahoe successfully started, browse to this_url to view contents" [05:14] but maybe I'm just a simpleton [05:16] 'tahoe run' blocks with no feedback. I presume that's intentional (no news is good news), but a little disconcerting to someone who has never used it before. [05:18] I ran 'tahoe start .' and 'tahoe run', and yet nothing is listening on port 3456. [05:19] the documentation (using.html) says that should be the case [05:20] Could you check logs/twistd.log [05:24] http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/71#comment:17 [05:36] nevow.appserver.NevowSite starting on 3456 [05:37] should be working :/ [05:37] ah, I think I found the problem [05:37] my localhost is only set to ::1 /etc/hosts [05:37] and tahoe only binds to 127.0.0.1 [05:38] so of course browsing to localhost:3456 won't work [05:38] jayvee aha! Interesting. Thanks. Will ticket that. [05:38] I think it stems from the fact that you're using twisted [05:39] which doesn't support ipv6 [05:39] We can control what we bind to. [05:39] nope, ::1 is ipv6 [05:39] I prefer 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost because I've heard reports of the [05:39] Hm. [05:39] you can't bind to it, as you need an AF_INET6 socket, not AF_INET socket [05:39] and twisted doesn't support that [05:39] which is silly, because ipv4 is going to get real real small in the very near future [05:40] not so much for the localhost issue, but the inter-node connectivity [05:40] For a reasonably large value of near, sure. [05:40] I see. So what should we do? Perhaps you could open the ticket? On http://tahoe-lafs.org . Just say that you couldn't connect to the wui-wapi port when following the instructions due to this issue. [05:40] from what I read, tahoe needs an open port on a public IP address on a server node [05:41] with the ipv4 apocalypse, NATs will make that difficult if not impossible to acheive [05:41] There are a few different issues here. [05:41] yeah, sorry for confusing this [05:42] The very narrow one, which is not currently ticketed and which I would appreciate you ticketing, is that you got this silent failure to connect your wui-wapi client to the web gateway on port 3456. [05:42] Open that ticket, and maybe we can make it fail louder, or something. At the very least we can close it "wontfix" and then we'll have a ticket to point to. [05:42] actually, looks like I misunderstood the documentation [05:42] tahoe run and tahoe start are the same [05:42] Or also we could fix it by twisted learning IPv6... [05:42] one runs as a daemon, one does not [05:42] never seen that behaviour before [05:43] I always see -d or --fork used for those sorts of options [05:43] or --daemon [05:43] Hm... [05:43] but that's just a usability issue [05:43] "just" a usability issue, indeed. :-) [05:44] so I accidentally pressed tab, started typing, and then xchat quit this channel [05:44] that's an xchat usability issue ;) [05:44] I think that one is *not* exactly http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/71 but deserves a new ticket of its own which links to http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/71 . [05:46] Hm... maybe it is this: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/355 [05:46] so am I right in guessing that 'tahoe start' and 'tahoe start $HOME/.tahoe' are synonymous? [05:48] [05:53] zooko, as a point of comparison, this is what upstart gives me [05:53] $ sudo start mythtv-backend [05:53] mythtv-backend start/running, process 17060 [05:53] much more satisfying. even printing the PID makes me much more confident. [06:00] jayvee: you are right in so guessing. Also that is stated in the --help usage text isn't it? [06:01] nope [06:01] re: PID: duly noted: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/71#comment:20 [06:02] one other thing is that there is no tahoe man page [06:02] I take it none has been written upstream? [06:02] surprised that wasn't picked up by lintian [06:03] lintian normally warns when there is no man page [06:08] Okay I think I have ticketed all of your observations so far except: [06:08] 1. no man page [06:09] 2. the problem you had with connecting over localhost because you use IPv6 [06:09] 3. No doc (that you could find...) saying that tahoe start basedir defaults to $HOME/.tahoe [06:10] 4. You were confused by "tahoe run" vs. "tahoe start" and expected a -d or --fork or --daemon [06:11] I will ticket #1 and #3 because I think I understand them well enough. Will you please ticket #2 and #4? [06:12] http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/984# no man page [06:13] http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/985# tahoe start --help should mention that --basedir defaults to $HOME/.tahoe [06:23] okay, sure [06:25] hmm, also, I presumed 'tahoe start .' wasn't synonymous with 'tahoe start -C .' [06:25] maybe I'm just completely of the wrong mindset to be using this program :) [06:26] zooko, #2 isn't a problem with tahoe [06:26] it was a problem on my end — my fault [06:26] not having localhost also resolve to 127.0.0.1 is a bad idea [06:26] I think I did it at the time to see how much it would break things, and forgot about it [06:27] what #2 should be is "tahoe-lafs should support IPv6", but given that you're handcuffed by twisted, there is nothing you can do about it [06:27] you'll have to either wait until twisted supports ipv6, or ditch twisted altogether (which I can't see happening) [06:40] jayvee: that's http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/867 (use ipv6) [06:40] aha [06:41] jayvee: okay, forget about #2 then. [06:42] Now let's see... That thing about "tahoe start ." vs. "tahoe start -C ". I think that's http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/772 . [06:43] Could you please add a note to that ticket saying that you experienced this issue? [06:43] It looks like David-Sarah assigned it to themselves and put it into the v1.7.0 milestone already, but your comment could help. [06:43] Okay I think I'm just waiting for you to open a ticket for #4 and then I'm done for tonight. :-) [06:44] Thank you very much for the usability testing! [06:44] unintentional usability testing ;) [06:45] writing it now [06:46] I suppose that's the best kind. ;-) === micahg1 is now known as micahg [06:48] zooko, what milestone? [06:48] actually, I'll leave it 'undecided' [06:50] Yeah [06:50] Tag it "usability" and David-Sarah will be sure to notice it. ;-) [06:50] zooko, http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/986 [06:51] I haven't seen any problems that I wouldn't expect to be as a result of packaging so far [06:51] so from my perspective, it's no worse off than 1.6.0 in terms of regressions [06:52] of couse, I still haven't actually got it working with the public grid yet [06:52] so my testing isn't exactly thorough so far [06:53] zooko, I have the introducer set in .tahoe/tahoe.cfg, but "Connected to introducer?: no" [06:53] Heh heh Here is a useful page for testing: [06:53] http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/TestGrid [06:53] zooko, yeah, on that [06:53] You can take those hyperlinks and put your host and port num in and see if you can see each of those kinds of file. [06:54] jayvee: okay, didn't connect to introducer. You put into your .cfg something like "introducer.furl = pb://todjw7qkb4dgq4fkeo7cqydcu5vneioh@tahoecs2.allmydata.com:52106/introducer" ? [06:54] yes [06:55] except the pb:// URL in quotes [06:55] I think that's wrong. [06:55] ah [06:55] I presumed it was Python syntax [06:55] Check the twistd.log and the logs/incidents [06:55] to see if it was trying to tell you that it was wrong. [06:55] based on the 'None' keyword that was there by default [06:55] Man you are really good at this accidental usability testing. [06:55] aha, "Connected to introducer?: yes" now [06:56] None is a reserved word in Python, so I replaced it with equally valid Python syntax :) [06:56] Oh look someone beat you to it: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/649 (Validation of configuration settings) [06:56] ndurner [06:57] heh [06:57] Could you please find the error in logs/incidents? [06:57] Check the timestamps of the files. I guess the most recent one. [06:57] Unless you already discovered a new bug. :-) [06:58] Then run "flogtool dump $LOGFILENAME | less", then see if there is a stack trace saying that it couldn't parse the config file. [06:59] File "/home/amduser/trees/tahoe/support/lib/python2.5/site-packages/foolscap-0.4.2-py2.5.egg/foolscap/pb.py", line 741, in getReferenceForName [06:59] raise KeyError("unable to find reference for name '%s'" % (name,)) [06:59] exceptions.KeyError: 'unable to find reference for name \'introducer"\'' [06:59] Please cut and paste the stack trace and any other such relevant stuff into http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/649 [06:59] Thank you very much! [07:00] I'll tag that ticket as "usability". [07:02] zooko, done [07:05] zooko, what does "To do that you'll need to know which port tahoe is listening on as, by default, it listens on an arbitrary port number." mean? [07:05] arbitrary means "explicitly set" in my mind [07:05] Is this doc about the port forwarding? [07:05] so isn't that the exact opposite meaning of what you want? [07:05] It listens on a randomly-selected port number by default. [07:05] yeah, docs/running.html [07:05] ah, that's the exact opposite of arbitrary [07:06] But, then it writes it down into its tahoe.cfg so that it will listen on the same one next time [07:06] you *want* an arbitrary port for port forwarding [07:06] so in the docs, s/arbitrary/random/ [07:06] Unless I am misremembering, the first time you run it, it is random (by your definition), and then the second time it is arbitrary. [07:06] actually, I got no such port written down in the config. my tahoe.cfg is untouched. :) [07:06] Oh. Hm. [07:07] actually [07:07] Okay, yeah, you are right. [07:07] .tahoe/client-port [07:07] is 60181. is that it? [07:07] Aha! Cool. Sounds right. [07:07] So the docs need to explain about that file. Maybe docs/configuration.txt already does. [07:07] yeah, it kinda gives the wrong impression [07:08] there's no harm in saying that on first run it picks a random port and stores it in a file called client.port [07:08] :) [07:09] anyways, I'd better let you get to bed, zooko [07:12] You have done a fine job of accidental usability testing. You're still going to ticket your #4 issue, right? [07:13] Could you type up a sentence of English which would go in the appropriate spot to explain that it picks a random port and stores it in that file? You can open a ticket, attach it to some extant ticket, mail it to me, or mail it to tahoe-dev. I'm too sleepy to know which. [07:14] Oh I see you already did #4. Thanks! [07:14] yeah [07:14] oops, I forgot to paste you the URL [07:15] I actually have it in my clipboard still [07:18] Okay, I fall asleep now! Thanks a lot!
