drew212ddecator: hey mang you around?06:55
ddecatordrew212: yes i am06:55
drew212did you see who your mentee's were?06:56
ddecatordrew212: you and trinikrono, yes?06:58
drew212yep =)06:59
ddecatoris that alright? :p07:00
drew212of course!07:00
ddecatorhaha, ok07:00
drew212ddecator: so what exactly do we do? =P07:01
ddecatordrew212: haha, well it depends. i'm here to answer questions you have and to give you tips. if you want to walk through a bug, we can do that. if you want me to just watch your work and give feedback, i can do that as well. it mainly depends on what is most helpful for the student :)07:03
drew212ddecator: probably a combination of both =P07:04
ddecatordrew212: works for me!07:04
drew212ddecator: when you hit F11, is firefox supposed to creep all the way up so you cant see the address bar anymore?07:06
ddecatordrew212: yes, it's full-screen, it should show up if you put the cursor up at the top of the screen07:06
drew212ddecator: yep, i just realized that =P07:07
ddecatorexcept fullscreen puts the buttons on the right, which i haven't gotten around to figuring out if that can be made to change with the theme so it matches07:09
drew212i have my buttons on the right...07:10
ddecatori got used to mine on the left :)07:10
ddecatordrew212: speaking of tips, do you know about the lp improvements firefox addon? i can't remember if i told you about that yet or not07:12
drew212ddecator: you have not07:12
ddecatordrew212: it makes some nice changes to lp, including stock responses where you just click the link and it can automatically enter the text, subscribe you, and change the status if appropriate, and you can add your own responses :) https://edge.launchpad.net/~gm-dev-launchpad/+archive/ppa07:14
drew212O_o07:14
ddecatorit's not a required tool, but it's definitely helpful :)07:16
drew212ddecator: i'm reading how to install it now =P brian murray's launchpad hacks07:16
ddecatordrew212: just add the ppa, then update and it will show up in synatpic as firefox-lp-improvements07:17
ddecatorsynaptic*07:17
drew212im not noticing anything new... do i need to restart FF?07:27
ddecatoryes07:28
ddecatorit's like any other add-on :)07:28
drew212=X07:28
vishddecator: hey , ok. I'm de-activating austin and will ask him to re-apply later07:43
ddecatorvish: danke07:43
ddecatordrew212: did the add-on work?07:45
drew212yes07:46
drew212ddecator: how do i find kernel bugs in LP?07:47
ddecatordrew212: they're filed against 'linux'07:48
ddecatordrew212: did you get JFo's email mentioning the kernel summit?07:48
drew212yes yes =)07:48
drew212i sent him an email and he forwarded me to the kernel/bug triage wiki to learn more before the summit07:49
ddecatorperfect! i couldn't remember what ML he sent it out to, haha07:49
drew212the kernel team lists... i subscribed to it just a little while ago07:49
ddecatorah, there was another list to, i think the QA list. i was going to forward it to you if you didn't get it :)07:50
drew212idk if i want to triage kernel bugs yet, but i know i want to know more...07:50
drew212i'm planning on applying to work for canonical once i get my BCS degree07:51
ddecatorwell, they need a lot of help, and it'd be good practice. i don't know much about kernel triage yet, but i plan to learn more at the summit so i can help out if you do want to try a hand at triaging for them07:52
drew212they have less bugs than FF does =P07:53
ddecatorheh...yah...07:54
ddecatoronce i get this songbird issue figured out, i'll have more time to FINALLY get back to triaging firefox bugs07:55
drew212well im off to bed, i need to work tomorrow morning =X07:56
ddecatoralright, night drew21207:57
drew212ddecator: thanks07:57

dpmhey bugsquadders. We sometimes get bugs filed mistakenly against the ubuntu-translations project, and often I'm not sure to which project they should be filed against. Could someone look at bug 592649 and tell me what would be the best project or source package to change it to? thanks!11:25

aranddpm: Well, as a first I guess you could simply reassign to "ubuntu", I don't know about that one, maybe "mountall" would be a guess.11:29
dpmthanks arand, I'll reassign to "ubuntu" and let someone more knowledgeable on filesystems than me to assign it to the right package11:30
arandI'm not actually sure if that is the right approach, but I though it seemed reasonable, since it is obviously more correct than -translations. (Anyone else knows of a better procedure?)11:35
thekorndpm, I think a save guess is that your bug is a duplicate of bug 51668411:50

thekornpedro_, congrats to your team, great win. first step to kick spain out in the 1st round ;)14:38
* thekorn hides14:39
pedro_thekorn, oh well the result doesn't reflect the game, we could win 14-0 ;-)14:39
pedro_thekorn, Germany is doing great btw, my fav team to win the cup ;-)14:40
thekornpedro_, yeah, maybe if the goals were twice the size14:41
bcurtiswxim not a soccer buff/huge fan by any means.. but people tell me the US tie with England was "like a win" and i'm wondering why14:42
bcurtiswxsoccer/football (whichever you call it)14:42
thekornhaha, let's see how well the play against other teams14:42
thekornbcurtiswx, because soccer in the usa is like basketball in the uk14:43
bcurtiswxLOL i.e. we suck at it?? :P14:43
thekornwell.....14:43
bcurtiswxstatistical terms14:44
hggdher. anybody heard of Brazil? Yes, I know, they sucked yesterday, but...14:44
pedro_hggdh, yeah not a good game it was expecting more 'Jogo bonito' but with Dunga erm...14:45
hggdhbcurtiswx: US s getting better. Soon they may be something to worry about. Right now, a draw with UK is Very Good14:46
hggdhpedro_: +114:46
thekornbcurtiswx, and US has one of the leading teams in women soccer14:47
thekornafter germany of course ;)14:47
bcurtiswxthekorn: yeah, im glad about womens.  My hometown (Rochester, NY) has one of the best... now if i wasn't shitty with named i'd say it14:47
bcurtiswxi think...14:48
thekornbcurtiswx, abby wombach14:48
bcurtiswxyes.. thanks14:48
hggdhbut, still, it is weird to live in a country (US) where life does not stop when the country team plays on the world cup14:49
bcurtiswxhggdh: I do for Hockey...14:49
hggdhbcurtiswx: what is hockey ;-)14:49
bcurtiswxthis sport, ya know.. where they uh.. play.. with this rubber thing 'eh14:49
hggdhoooohhhh14:50
hggdhI thought this was something done in private14:50
pedro_hahahaha14:50
hggdhLOL14:50
bcurtiswxit can be... broken teeth ;-)14:50
pedro_so is it Hockey more popular than Baseball or Basketball  in the US?14:51
hggdhsorry, bcurtiswx, it was too good an opportunity :-)14:51
bcurtiswxnah, humor is welcome at anytime.... that was humor.. right :P14:51
hggdhpedro_: no, not really. It's {Baseball, Basketball, american footbal}, then, a bit farther away, hockey14:52
bcurtiswxNo, I grew up in Rochester, NY which is just across lake ontario from Canada.. where hockey becomes life14:52
bcurtiswxso thats why i <3 hockey14:52
hggdhbcurtiswx: yes, it was humor14:52
bcurtiswxUS it depends on which half you're on.. the upper is Football14:53
bcurtiswxlower it's NASCAR14:53
bcurtiswxand then football14:53
thekornhockey == ice hockey and not field hocky, right?14:53
bcurtiswxthekorn: lol, yuppers14:53
hggdhthekorn: yes, mostly14:53
thekornokidoki14:53
bcurtiswxnow a fun sport (or activity) is "broomball"14:53
hggdhbcurtiswx: indeed. I tend to forget about NASCAR14:53
pedro_in baseball they play something called World Series but they only play against North American teams?14:54
bcurtiswxBaseball would be close to futbol americano14:54
bcurtiswxor should I say beisbol14:54
bcurtiswxsp?14:54
hggdhpedro_: yes. It really sounds weird, but it si true14:54
pedro_that's so weird, yes14:54
bcurtiswxbroomball http://is.gd/cRulN14:55
pedro_it's like the World Cup being played only with South Americans teams14:55
bcurtiswxpedro_: I completely agree14:55
hggdhbcurtiswx: ah, I saw it once, thanks for the link14:55
thekorneuropean teams!!!!1111!14:55
hggdhpedro_: and just a few countries from SA14:55
pedro_oh spain is playing now14:55
hggdhoops14:56
hggdhthat's important, they seem to be good14:56
hggdhbcurtiswx: in summary, the best teams are usually UK, Germany, Italy, Brazil, France, Netherlands14:57
hggdhin any order14:57
hggdhand now Spain seems to be good also14:57
bcurtiswxwhich fanbase would be most hurt with a world cup loss?14:57
hggdhany of the above14:58
hggdh:-)14:58
hggdhpicture baseball, football, basketball all rolled in one for fan base14:58
bcurtiswxi think we got that for the olympics..14:59

psusiIf a bug affects Lucid and Karmic and needs SRU'd, should it be nominated for those releases?15:05
hggdhpsusi: yes; but it would normally be required to be first fixed on the current development release (Maverick)15:06
dgtombsanybody here know much about g-p-m/upower interaction?15:07
psusiMaverick doesn't have the problem... it's specific to Karmic and Lucid because they pulled a broken patch from upstream 2.6.3215:07
psusiwhat is the difference between targeting a milestone and nominating for a release?  which should I use?  It seems it will only let me target one milestone, but it needs SRU'd for both lucid and karmic15:08
hggdhpsusi: weird, I would expect you to be able to nominate for releases (unless some new LP control was introduced recently)15:11
hggdhpsusi: what is the bug #?15:11
psusiyea, I just did... but I first tried targeting to a milestone instead of nominating for a release... apparently you can only have one milestone... it's bug #59308615:12
ubot2psusi: Bug 593086 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/593086 is private15:12

psusihggdh: so does that look about right to you?15:21
bcurtiswxis there a git for ubuntu  packages like gnome has (i figured i'd get in a n00b question early today)15:24
bcurtiswxi.e. git clone git://git.gnome.org/PackageName15:24
arandbcurtiswx: I don't think so, since we've got bzr instead, but some have like http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git15:34
bcurtiswxso if i wanted to patch adium-theme-ubuntu i need to use the .dsc file ?15:36
hggdhpsusi: seems correct15:38
arandbcurtiswx: You could apt-get source/dget *.dsc and do it that way, or use bzr: bzr branch lp:adium-theme-ubuntu15:46
