[07:44] <grantbow> good evening ara
[07:45] <ara> hey grantbow :)
[07:45] <grantbow> did you see gBoggs post about spam on blog.qa.ubuntu.com?  http://blog.qa.ubuntu.com/node/4  Who handles that?
[07:46] <grantbow> I hate spam
[07:51] <ara> grantbow, I haven't, let me see
[07:52] <ara> grantbow, as far as I know, stgraber used to take care of that
[07:52] <svaksha> ara: hi, since i didnt see you on irc, I mailed you. Hope its ok
[07:52] <ara> svaksha, sure it is fine :-)
[07:53] <ara> svaksha, I'll reply today
[07:53] <svaksha> k, thanks
[07:53] <ara> svaksha, are you then interested in participating with that project?
[07:53] <svaksha> yes
[07:54] <ara> svaksha, cool :-) the deadline for proposals is near
[07:54] <svaksha> i know :)
[07:55] <ara> svaksha, I'll make sure I get the time today to answer :)
[07:56] <svaksha> ara: it was easter weekend and i didnt want to disturb you
[07:56] <svaksha> thanks
[10:01] <svaksha> ara: autogen also fails
[10:02] <svaksha> i also sent a link to pastebin (it has the mago errors)
[10:02] <ara> svaksha, I am replying. but it is not the same error :)ç
[10:02] <svaksha> heh
[10:12] <ara> svaksha, replied
[10:16] <svaksha> ara: i found a bugbut am not sure if its related : https://bugs.launchpad.net/dogtail/+bug/348890
[10:16]  * svaksha checks mail
[10:16] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 348890 in dogtail (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "dogtail-recorder doesn't record (heat: 4)" [Undecided,Triaged]
[10:20] <ara> svaksha, the bug is not related. dogtail recorder does not work, but we are not going to create a recorder, anyway
[10:21] <ara> svaksha, one recommendation to start with this project
[10:21] <svaksha> i thought its not related too
[10:21] <svaksha> but googling threw that
[10:21] <ara> svaksha, forget about accerciser for the time being. focus on mago, on understanding its mission and how it works
[10:21] <ara> svaksha, once you understand that, we can start with the plugin
[10:21] <svaksha> ok,
[10:44] <svaksha> ara: accerciser was installed with some errors (i mailed that reply) and mago test gives me an ldtp object warning
[10:44] <ara> the accerciser issue is fixed installing ipython package
[10:44] <svaksha> k
[10:51]  * svaksha notes that ipython is taking a long time to install
[11:09] <svaksha> ara: accerciser works now, thanks :) and mago still gives throws an object warning
[11:10] <ara> svaksha, replying now
[11:14] <ara> svaksha, replied
[11:18] <svaksha> ara: thanks, reading
[13:41] <cr3> if anyone happens to be receiving questions for checkbox from the launchpad answer tracker, I've asked the launchpad folks to deal with the spam recently posted to question #53474
[13:41] <cr3> I thought I should say something since there's no way to visually indicate to anyone that steps have been taken
[14:16] <cr3> bladernr: hi there, thanks for handling the (invalid) checkbox question in launchpad this weekend
[14:28] <bladernr> cr3:  no worries :)
[14:29] <bladernr> I was actually kinda worried I was stepping on someone's toes shuffling it around
[14:34] <cr3> bladernr: nope, it looked awesome. I handled the other checkbox question this weekend which turned out to be spam
[14:35] <bladernr> cool... I didn't even see that one... actually, I only knew about the one because I got an e-mail about it... then again, I didn't look at e-mail the rest of the weekend.  I was busy rebuilding my MBR repeatedly...
[14:35] <cr3> bladernr: really? I've never heard about having to rebuild the mbr more than once. what happened?
[14:36] <bladernr> Windows and Dell Backup...
[14:37] <bladernr> hrmmm... can't find the bug now.  Let me look
[14:42] <bladernr> cr3:  bug 551721
[14:42] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 551721 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "[grub2] grub fails to load again (in Lucid Beta1) (affects: 2) (heat: 12)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/551721
[14:43] <bladernr> Basically, for whatever reason, when dual booting and the Windows install has some sort of onboard backup system (like Dell's Local SafeStore or whatever it's called) it overwrites part of the MBR...
[14:43] <bladernr> I know it's not really OUR problem per-se, but I'd never had this problem until I updated on Thursday or Friday... never saw it in Karmic either.
[14:43] <cr3> bladernr: still status New? you might like to change the status to Confirmed since you've painfully encountered the same problem :)
[14:43] <bladernr> Work around was to just go in and delete the Dell stuff...
[14:44] <cr3> bladernr: the dell backup partition?
[14:45] <bladernr> cr3:  well, the dell local backup software at least.  I don't actually even have a recovery partition, that i can see... there's a 6 block partition at the beginning of the disk, and I think THAT's what's overwriting part of the MBR.
[14:45] <bladernr> Honestly, I'm not familiar enough with Grub2 and where it puts it's files though.
[14:46] <cr3> bladernr: I have to admit I haven't taken the time to understand grub2 as well as I used to understand plain old grub
[14:46] <bladernr> Like I said, it's not OUR problem, but there are enough people who are dual booting today (and many many more we hope to bring into the fold that WILL dual boot in the future) that this is bothersome.
[14:47] <cr3> bladernr: totally agree
[14:47] <bladernr> cr3:  yeah... what I wrote in my addition to that bug was based on a small bit of reading while I was trying to figure out WTF just happened to my MBR... heh...
[14:48] <bladernr> But I deleted all that software and haven't had an issue since Suday afternoon.

[14:49] <bladernr> crap
[14:49] <bladernr> crap... sorry...
[14:49] <bladernr> Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
[14:49] <bladernr>  1      32.3kB  41.1MB  41.1MB  primary   fat16
[14:49] <bladernr> stupid clipboard... :(
[14:49] <bladernr> anyway... that's the partition... 41MB seems a bit small for a recovery partition or backup location of a 500GB disk :)
[14:50] <bladernr> though the cool thing with this laptop is that I got actual recovery disks and not that silly onboard partition that stores all the OS and Software backups from the factory.
[14:50] <cr3> bladernr: I looked up your laptop, does it really have lights on the front?
[14:51] <bladernr> heh... it has lights all over...
[14:51] <bladernr> even around the touchpad and under the keyboard
[14:51] <bladernr> I swear I bought it for the hardware and not for the pretty lights!
[14:52] <cr3> bladernr: heh, I'll need some more convincing than that :)
[14:52] <bladernr> quad-core i7 and VTx!
[14:54] <cr3> bladernr: did the i7 work with karmic?
[14:55] <bladernr> yeah...  as I understand it, the kernel in Karmic didn't have the code to fully utilize the procs, but at least all the cores showed up, and throttling worked, and I believe that VTx worked (at least VirtualBox let me check the box for using VTx on my VMs)
[14:55]  * cr3 is pleasantly surprised. awesome!
[14:57] <bladernr> I'm not sure if this one comes with turbo though... can't recall off the top of my head
[17:24] <stgraber> grantbow: here we go, just cleaned up the blog from over 200 spams
[17:25] <sbeattie> stgraber: heh, I briefly looked to see if I could do some of that last night, and it didn't look like I was able to.
[17:25] <sbeattie> are you the only one capable of doing that?
[17:26] <stgraber> anyone who's admin on the QA team Drupal is able to do that
[17:41] <sbeattie> stgraber: hrm. is there a link to where you delete comments? I wasn't able to find one while looking at the blog entries.
[17:58] <stgraber> sbeattie: I now added that right to anyone who's allowed to blog on blog.qa.ubuntu.com. So you should now see it in the admin UI.
[17:59] <stgraber> sbeattie: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/admin/content/comment
[17:59] <sbeattie> stgraber: who are the current admins?
[18:01] <stgraber> full (all websites admin including brainstorm) are: fader, Ng (from IS), nand (from Brainstorm), Henrik and I
[18:02] <fader_> stgraber: Whoa, no kidding?  I had no idea I was an admin on most of that.
[18:02]  * fader_ goes mad with power.
[18:02] <stgraber> ;)
[18:03] <sbeattie> stgraber: hrm, heno has moved off of the QA team; should he still be an admin?
[18:05] <stgraber> probably not, I'm guessing quite a lot of existings ACLs should be changed to reflect the changes that happened over the last year or so
[20:06] <grantbow> stgraber: good work!  darn spammers
