arandrobert_ancell: Regarding chromium-bsu in featured... It seems (test on noveau vs nvdidia) to run unbearably slow if no 3D accel is available, so maybe one should look otherwise for a simple 2D game?00:05
robert_ancellarand, could you note that on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Lucid/FeaturedApps.00:07
arandrobert_ancell: will do.00:07
robert_ancellarand, I'll also update that with the current choices so it's easier to comment on00:08
robert_ancellarand, I suspect that supertuxkart has the same problem.  Perhaps a solution is to update the package description with "This game requires 3D support"00:10
arandrobert_ancell: Definitely a good idea. Regading chr-bsu I figured one of it's raison-de-etre might be that it is a simple 2D game, which is kind of spoiled if it needs 3D support.00:14
robert_ancellarand, is there a good candidate for replacement?00:14
arandrobert_ancell: hmm, not really that I know off the top of my head..00:15
robert_ancellarand, the policy for the list is once a package is on the list it remains there until it is replaced by a better package00:16
arandrobert_ancell: ah, right, and the ratio games/other is set for now?00:17
robert_ancellarand, no ratio is set,  it just has to be argued that the new list is better than the old one00:18
robert_ancell(so a new list might get rejected on the grounds "too many games" or "not enough games")00:19
arandrobert_ancell: right, time to go wild in the software centre..00:21

=== debfx_ is now known as debfx
didrockspitti: nice catch (just read your email) about the buffering and the option to fix that but I don't understand how the shell (when you execute python-mkdebian directly), ask to print what you currently have in the buffer before python deciding that the buffer is full enough to print it08:30
pittikwwii: do you know how/where the theme previews are generated/stored? I wondered about bug 54090708:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 540907 in light-themes "Appearance preferences preview icons should match layout" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54090708:30
pittididrocks: I can't parse your sentence, I'm afraid08:30
didrockshum, let me rephrase :)08:31
pittididrocks: the shell isn't involved at all with this08:31
pittiit just connects pipes08:31
didrockspitti: right, but as you said, the issue is that python is buffering too much its stdout08:31
pittididrocks: oh; I just know that shell programs are line buffered, so it's a nice comparison to check whether the problem is on the feeding or receiving side08:31
pittididrocks: right; it's fully buffered when stdout is not a termial, and line-buffered if it is a terminal08:32
pitti(by default)08:32
didrocksok, that was that part missing for me "fully buffered when stdout is not a termial, and line-buffered if it is a terminal" :)08:32
didrockspitti: thanks a lot for looking at that and for the fix as well :)08:32

pitti"A total of 3077 bug tasks were fixed during Lucid!"08:49
pittithat will jump quite a bit after the flush08:49
seb128I'm pondering waiting for updates or do multimedia playing08:49

pittiI will08:55
seb128it's easy enough to do another update next week08:55
seb128but I want to do ipod testing this afternoon so I will probably build the new version + git changes anyway08:55
seb128I can as well upload that if there is no tarball today08:55

chrisccoulsonand so not much is working now ;)11:07
pittichrisccoulson: is the daemon running? ck-list-sessinos?11:08
pitti"sessions"11:08
asac_pitti: so how do you i18n .desktop files in upstream python build systems? where is a good example package?11:08
chrisccoulsonpitti - it is. and this is what ck-list-sessions shows:11:08
chrisccoulsonhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/397759/11:08
pittichrisccoulson: this seems fine?11:09
chrisccoulsonpitti - "active = FALSE"11:09
chrisccoulsonthat should be true11:09
pittiasac_: just the same as in C projects -- .desktop.in and use intltool-merge11:09
pittiasac_: jockey and apport do that (with distutils-extra)11:09
asac_ok. so distutils-extra11:09
pittichrisccoulson: ah, indeed11:10
pittiasac_: but of course you can also copy the intltool logic from DistUtilsExtra/command/build_i18n.py11:11
pittichrisccoulson: if you can reproduce that, running the CK daemon in the foreground (on a VT) might be interesting11:11
asac_pitti: i look at jockey ... the desktop.in files are nowhere referred to (not setup.py etc.)11:11
pitti(and then do some VT switching/X sessions, etc.)11:11
chrisccoulsonpitti - the consolekit error message is triggered because this fails:11:11
chrisccoulsonioctl (console_fd, VT_WAITACTIVE, num);11:11
pittiasac_: distutils auto.py magic :)11:12
chrisccoulsonso, i wonder who messed up the VT stuff ;)11:12
pittiasac_: it grabs all .desktop.in files automatically11:12
asac_oh11:12
pittiasac_: and adds them to POTFILES.in, etc.11:12
asac_pitti: and you create the .pot with intltool-merge ?11:12
asac_oh11:12
asac_right i wondered where the POTFILES.in is11:12
pittiasac_: .pot is intltool-update; intltool-merge takes a bunch of .po and a .desktop.in (or other .in files) and builds the merged .desktop11:13
pittiasac_: i-update extracts strings from sources (in POTFILES.in) and builds a pot; it can also merge the .po files against an updated .pot11:13
asac_let me try that ;)11:14
asac_pitti: so what do i run to bootstrap the po/ ? e.g. i make a distutils.auto setup.py ... and then i run that like what?11:17
seb128re11:18
seb128sorry I was out for some shopping11:18
seb128mvo, looking but yeah, I'm not sure we want to change gtk now11:18
pittiasac_: "bootstrap"? it can't automatically translate for you, sorry11:19
pittiasac_: that's for the next version, with babelfish integration :-P11:19
seb128pitti, rock on for libsmartata11:19
seb128pitti, what is the issue with my disk?11:19
pittiseb128: just replied in the bug (basically the same what I said above)11:20
seb128ok11:20
seb128will check in a bit11:20
pittiseb128: but your blob is a perfect test case11:20
pittiseb128: i. e. it is a state where it's actually justified to warn users, but it's not below the vendor threshold yet11:21
asac_pitti: i mean when i setup the upstream build system11:21
asac_i have no po/ directory11:21
pittiasac_: just build it once11:21
asac_ok11:21
pittiasac_: then you have po/myproject.pot11:21
pittiand can then copy that to e. g. de.po and start translating11:21
seb128pitti, maybe the warning could be lighter in such cases ;-)11:22
pittiseb128: how does it look like now?11:22
pitti      overall assessment:      Disk reports many bad sectors11:22
pittithat looks pretty correct11:22
seb128well the notification area icon has a red bold label11:23
pittiseb128: well, when I'm done with patching libatasmart it will say "bad sectors", but still say "okay"11:23
seb128it makes you feel like you should change the disk NOW11:23
seb128where this disk is working for years with this error11:23
pittiah, I'll just load your blob into udisks and see11:24
pittinice way of testing it both ways11:24
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
asac_pitti: yeah. that worked. so how do i get all the translations we already have in the .desktop in the po? or is that ok to keep them there?11:27
pittiasac_: the .desktop.in shouldn't have any11:27
seb128ups11:27
pittiseb128: FYI, $ sudo udisks --ata-smart-refresh /dev/sda --ata-smart-simulate /tmp/smart.blob11:27
seb128pitti, ok11:27
seb128ah, good to know11:28
asac_pitti: well. we had a .desktop with plenty of transltaions ;)11:28
pittiseb128: that's a great way of testing this stuff once you have a blob11:28
asac_i would prefer to not loose them11:28
pittiasac_: hm, you could write some seddery/small perl script to extract them and put them into a .po file, and then use intltool-update to merge them, so that they get a proper format?11:28
pittiseb128: ah, and now I also see the notification with an action11:29
pittiseb128: do we have a bug for that as well?11:29
seb128yes, it's milestoned11:29
asac_ok thanks11:29
asac_guess i will just drop them for now ... we can add that back later11:29
pittiasac_: how many are there?11:30
pittiasac_: if it's just 5, a manual copy&paste is certainly much faster :)11:30
asac_pitti: 80 ;)11:35

pittichrisccoulson_: perhaps it's stumbling over a bad console state sometimes, while plymouth does its magic11:39
chrisccoulson_pitti - i suspect that's probably what happens11:39
pittichrisccoulson_: perhaps change the d-bus service file to launch it through /bin/sh -c and redirect output to /var/log/consolekit.log?11:39
pitti(unless it's already going to syslog, of course)11:40
seb128james_w`, hey11:40
chrisccoulson_the output already goes to syslog11:40
seb128james_w`, do you have a minute for a bzr question?11:40
chrisccoulson_pitti - but the error is that the ioctl returns EINVAL11:40
pittichrisccoulson_: then merely add --debug to the .service?11:40
chrisccoulson_pitti - yeah, i added --debug to the service file11:41
pittichrisccoulson_: ah, if you already tracked it down to that, perhaps open a bug and subscribe Keybuk? I think he knows the VT stuff inside out now11:41
chrisccoulson_pitti - yeah, will do11:41

seb128but that might be on monday12:10
mvoseb128: yeah, this is what I was about to suggest, to wait until mondy12:10
seb128I don't want to queue gtk changes to go in when nobody is around12:10
mvojust in case12:10

pittichrisccoulson_: no, I didn't follow12:29
pittithe bug trail doesn't seem to have anything new?12:29
chrisccoulson_pitti - what happens is - glibc and gtk gets updated, then something triggers an icon reload in nm-applet12:30
chrisccoulson_and nm-applet tries to load the (new) libpixbufloader-png.so in to memory, which depends on the latest glibc library12:30
chrisccoulson_but the old glibc is still in memory, and it fails12:30
pittioh, I think I saw that bit12:30

pittichrisccoulson_: so is that why nm-applet dies during dist-upgrade, but comes back just fine?12:31
chrisccoulson_i should probably update the bug really12:31
chrisccoulson_pitti - yeah, that's why it dies12:31
chrisccoulson_but it affects lots more stuff than nm-applet12:31

chrisccoulson_pitti - have a look at my xsession-errors from the upgrade: http://paste.ubuntu.com/397262/12:31
chrisccoulson_(its not nice)12:31
pittiis that even something new? similar stuff seems to have happened during just about any dist-upgrade so far, AFAIR12:31
chrisccoulson_i'm not sure. i suppose most things just don't die like nm-applet does12:32
pittiit's not a big deal for ethernet anyway, but I guess you'd suddenly lose wifi during dist-upgrade12:33
chrisccoulson_yeah, that seems to be what happens12:33
pittiwhich is still not breaking the upgrade (since by that time all the .debs were downloaded), but a bit of a wart12:33
seb128pitti, I don't have any idea about the nm issue12:34
pittichrisccoulson_: so ideally in this case nm-applet would ignore all the new icons etc. and just keep on running, right?12:34
seb128pitti, neither does has mvo12:34
chrisccoulson_pitti - yeah, probably12:34
chrisccoulson_that doesn't help for upgrades though12:34
chrisccoulson_(as it's the old version running)12:34
pittiseb128: right, just pondering, since as I said Chris currently owns 5 out of 6 RC bugs12:34
seb128pitti, we discussed it yesterday, we are basically screwed out of changing the code running before upgrade12:34
pittiwell, I don't personally consider it a dealbreaker anyway12:35
seb128pitti, how do you build your rc list?12:35
pittiseb128: lucid targetted, priority high or critical12:35
pittisee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RCBugTargetting12:36
seb128pitti, I'm sure we have other bugs matching those criterious12:36
seb128I've at least opened half a dozen of > high with lucid tasks12:36
seb128none being there12:36
pittiseb128: yes, I didn't update the list this week yet12:36
mvocould we detect it exiting and restarting it? I'm desperate but I wanted to throw the idea out12:37
pittiseb128: I'm about to :)12:37
pittimvo: in new code, yes ..12:37
mvoin u-m I mean12:37
chrisccoulson_mvo - that should really be the responsibility of the session manager to do that12:37
chrisccoulson_but for some reason, we disable session manager integration in nm-applet12:37
seb128mvo, we could I guess, but would it behave correctly with the old nm still running?12:37
* mvo has no idea 12:38
seb128or do we need to restart nm?12:38
mvoisn't the dbus API stable?12:38
seb128no clue12:38
seb128I think it changed since hardy12:38
seb128nm 0.6 to 0.812:38
seb128but I'm not sure12:38
* mvo looks for the NM expert12:39
pittiseb128: different question, should we go with poppler 0.13/0.14, or stay at 0.12?12:39
pittiseb128: (at this point I'd think stay at 0.12, but checking..)12:40
seb128pitti, how come you ask about that? just curious12:42
seb128pitti, stay with 0.1212:42

seb128ah ok12:45
pittiseb128: but a lot of the ones in above list are not targetted to lucid12:45

seb128njpatel, not yet, do you want me to just drop all the g_debug in the ubuntu source as a distro change?14:30

seb128njpatel, the ping was actual to check with you what is easier and how busy you are, I can look at that myself next week14:31
njpatelseb128, just drop g_debug, it shouldn't be there for releases14:31

qenseaquarius: Apport adds log files to Ubuntu One bug reports that contain (request) tokens. Isn't that terribly unsafe?15:24
aquariusqense, yes. We mark bugs as private if that happens, or at least we try to15:25
qenseThey are automatically marked private already, iirc. However, members of Bug Control can view those bugs and we don't do a security check on applications.15:26
seb128well we should15:27
seb128the same people have access to crash stacktrace15:27
seb128which can have login, password, etc15:27
qenses/applications/applicants15:27
qenseBut anyone who wants to access that sensitive information just has to show some good work on a few bug reports and is in.15:28
qenseAnd anyone who was already in can suddenly decide he or she can use the information of a certain log file for e.g. an act of revenge, or maybe to access the banking account of someone who's known to have a lot of money.15:29
LaserJockthat's one reason I don't use apport, although I don't know that that's a good argument in general against it15:32
LaserJockit's hard to get good bugs if you don't have all the info to work with15:33
qenseThe information Apport provides is very valuable and it does make the life of the Bug Squad a lot easier, but it does have some security issues we should take into account.15:33
LaserJockthey were taken into account when the permissions were set up15:34
chrisccoulson_seb128 - could you add a lucid task to bug 526411 please? :)15:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 526411 in ubufox "In a fresh installation, firefox search engines are ordered alphabetically" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/52641115:34
LaserJockI believe ubuntu-bugcontrol was specifically created to address that security issue15:36
qenseBut gaining access to ubuntu-bugcontrol isn't that hard.15:36
LaserJockwell, that's another issue :-)15:36
qenseAt least if you're willing to invest a little time in it.15:36
LaserJockhow are you going to triage bugs you can't see, and if you can see them but not all the info you need ...15:36
qenseThat would indeed be problematic.15:37
LaserJockat some point you've got to trust that people are doing the right thing15:37
LaserJockwe do that with ~ubuntu-dev15:37
LaserJockmillions of users give them root access to their machines15:38
LaserJockand yet none of them have had a "security" check15:38
LaserJockthey've contributed and are a part of the team, so we trust them15:38
LaserJockhowever, there is one difference in that in the case of ~ubuntu-dev there is an amount of code audit15:39
LaserJockwhereas using somebody could use a login/password from a bug without anybody knowing it15:39
qenseexactly15:39
qenseFurthermore, I suspect that becoming a member of ubuntu-dev is harder than becoming a member of ubuntu-bug-control.15:40
seb128chrisccoulson_, done15:40
chrisccoulson_seb128 - thanks15:41
LaserJockqense: sure15:41
thekornwhy do ubuntu one bugreports contain request token at all? shouldn't they be masked?15:41
cassidyseb128, I just released telepathy-gabble 0.8.12 fixing the crash we debugged yesterday and some other issues15:41
thekornas any other potentially security risky data15:42
qensethekorn: Because the log file incluse the token.15:42
seb128cassidy, excellent, I will update15:43
LaserJocksome apps are particularly bad about exposing user data in logs15:43
LaserJockperhaps there could be some review of apps/apport for such things15:43
thekornqense: so it is either a bug in ubuntu one (masking them should happen there) or a bug in the package hook (masking before attaching this logfile)15:44
qenseI'm not sure whether it's possible to reliably mask the value in the Apport hook, so I'll file a bug against Ubuntu One.15:44
nigelbqense: it is possible to mask in apport hooks15:45
nigelbI did do some masking for the rhythmbox hook.15:45
nigelbOnly we need to find the actual info and get a regex to mask it15:45
kklimondaqense: it is - rhythmbox package hook masks passwords that are stored in plain text in gconf15:45
qenseI know, but I'm not sure whether the key can be distinguished from regular words/names.15:46
qensebug #541968 contains such a log file if you want to see what I'm talking about15:46
