Chipacanewboon2age_: are you still there?00:43
newboon2age_Chipaca: yes00:48
newboon2age_Chipaca: do you have some info on running ubuntuOne on either Kubuntu or Windows?00:49
Chipacanewboon2age_: on kubuntu, it should just work, except for the nautilus integration :)00:49
Chipacanewboon2age_: windows, not there yet. Work has started.00:49
Chipacanewboon2age_: as it stands, the file sync aspect of Ubuntu One gives very little feedback about what's going on, which you might find disconcerting until you get a feel for how it works00:51
Chipacanewboon2age_: you can install magicicada to help you understand what's going on00:51
Chipacanewboon2age_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chicharreros/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install magicicada00:51
newboon2age_i wrote a forum entry on what i'd gotten working so far: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=152213700:54
newboon2age_Chipaca: when you say 'nautilus integration' do you really mean Dolphin integration?  and are you talking about the gnome client (which i loaded) or a kde client (which i haven't succeed in finding/installing yet?00:56
Chipacanewboon2age_: no, I meant nautilus integration. You don't have nautilus, I presume, so you miss out on that00:56

newboon2age_And is the client called Desktop Couch?  Or is Desktop Couch a component that the client works together with (then what is the name of the client?) Chipaca01:12
Chipacanewboon2age_: phew, many questions, give me a second01:12
Chipacanewboon2age_: ubuntuone-client-gnome has essentially three parts01:13
Chipacanewboon2age_: the first is ubuntuone-preferences, which is a gtk application that talks to syncdaemon (the Ubuntu One file syncing client daemon) over dbus and to the Ubuntu One web services REST API, and provides a measure of control over what gets synced and such01:15
Chipacanewboon2age_: the second is ubuntuone-login, which is a background helper script that aides in signing up and authenticating to Ubuntu One, as well as pairing your local couchdb with the Ubuntu One couchdb01:16
Chipacanewboon2age_: the third is the nautilus integration, this is an extension for nautilus that talks over dbus with syncdaemon to perform different actions and report on the state of synchronization01:17
Chipacanewboon2age_: you with me so far?01:18
newboon2age_Chipaca: yup01:18
Chipacanewboon2age_: Desktop Couch is a thin layer of python that makes it easier / possible to have a couchdb per user, and is not (at this moment in time) related to file synchronization01:18
Chipacanewboon2age_: it is in couch that you will find your contacts, your notes, your gwibber accounts (and messages, for now)01:19
Chipacanewboon2age_: you can browse your local couch using futon: point your browser at ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html01:20
Chipacanewboon2age_: unfortunately we've had to disable the public-facing couch in the datacenter for now, but it'll be back soon01:20
newboon2age_Chipaca: I was listening to a FLOSS Weekly podcast w/ someone with the first name of Stewart who i guess must work w/ you (i looked up and see you're a developer at Canonical) and he was talking a lot about Desktop Couch and from what he said it sounded like Desktop Couch was the client and was the thing that had to be ported to different platforms to get them working.  Just so ya know where i was getting that from... Chipaca01:21
Chipacanewboon2age_: Stuart Langridge, probably01:21
Chipacanewboon2age_: aquarius in irc, usually hangs around here01:21
Chipacanewboon2age_: Ubuntu One has two main building blocks: file sync'ing, and DesktopCouch01:22
newboon2age_Chipaca: thank you for taking the time to explain it more in depth.  I'll post your explanation so others can benefit from it too...01:22
Chipacanewboon2age_: everybody gets what file syncing is about01:22
Chipacanewboon2age_: we need to explain DesktopCouch more :)01:22
Chipacanewboon2age_: thank you for taking the time to write it up01:23
newboon2age_Chipaca: is the ubuntu login script what the ulsdtool is working with?01:24
newboon2age_and then it might follow that the ubuntu login script starts sync daemon?01:25
Chipacanewboon2age_: u1sdtool talks to syncdaemon over dbus01:25
Chipacaubuntuone-login script only needs to run once, to store the secret in the keychain01:26
Chipacanewboon2age_: and to pair the couch01:26
Chipacanewboon2age_: both syncdaemon and ubuntuone-login are started by dbus activation01:26
bj0i just had files disappear from my ubuntuone directory again, so I updated the bug i created: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+bug/59958301:28
ubot4Launchpad bug 599583 in ubuntuone-client "files in the "Ubuntu One" folder periodically dissappear (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]01:28
newboon2age_so in your three part breakdown is the syncdaemon a forth part or is it part of one of the others?01:28
newboon2age_Chipaca: ^^^^01:38
Chipacabj0: please tell me you enabled debug in the syncdaemon config :)01:38
Chipacanewboon2age_: the three parts of ubuntuone-client-gnome do not include syncdaemon01:38
bj0uh, no one told me about any debug enabling when i was in here last :b01:38
Chipacanewboon2age_: because syncdaemon is not gnome-dependant (except for the keyring, which we are yet to have a good cross-desktop replacement for)01:38
newboon2age_Chipaca: oh, that was a three part breakdown of ubuntuone-client-gnome, gotcha...01:38
Chipacabj0: I love your use case :)01:38
Chipacabj0: oooh! weird exceptions01:38
bj0use case? you mean encryption? :)01:38
Chipacabj0: would it be possible for you to enable debug and re-enable syncing and reproduce the problem?01:38
bj0how do i enable debugging?01:38
newboon2age_Chipaca: so when i installed ubuntuone-client-gnome was syncdaemon a dependeny that was also pulled in, or is that something that's already part of the desktop that UbuntuOne takes advantage of?01:38
Chipacabj0: I always said it should be possible to use ecryptfs inside a synced folder :)01:38
bj0it might take a few days for the files to disappear again, it took 3 days this last time01:38
Chipacanewboon2age_: yep01:38
bj0yea, I am paranoid about backing up files to the internet without encryption :)01:38
newboon2age_Chipaca: yep to which?  its a dependency pulled in?01:38
Chipacanewboon2age_: it's a dep01:38
Chipacabj0: in ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf01:38
Chipacabj0: section [__main__]01:38
newboon2age_Chipaca: thanks for your explanation, i'll post it...01:38
Chipacabj0: log_level = DEBUG01:38
bj0k its enabled, now i just need to wait...01:38
Chipacabj0: can you confirm that the logs are now much more verbose?01:38
bj0yea they have DEBUG statements01:38
Chipacasweet01:38
Chipacabj0: ok, I'll poke facu about your bug anyway because the exceptions might make sense to him even without the debug, but he'll certainly need the debug logs to figure out how it got into the state the exception will tell him it's in01:38
bj0k01:38
Chipacabj0: I hope this isn't a weird inotify-doesn't-really-work-inside-ecryptfs thing01:38
Chipacabj0: if it is, I'll be a very sad penguin01:38
bj0:(01:38
Chipacabj0: hopefully it's just a bug about the way pyinotify handles the weird ecryptfs filenames :)01:38
Chipacaok, enough of this, I need to sleep or I'll never get up01:38
bj0yea thats gotta make debugging a little tougher with those weird names01:38

rhleeHow do I "delete UDF metadata and directory"?11:34

duanedesignrhlee: get it taken care of?12:39
rhleeduanedesign: Yeah I found yesterday's irc logs and found verterok's instructions.12:43
rhleeduanedesign: I deleted the udf (udfs?) metadata and it starts syncing again, so the fix works. But it starts from the beginning again.12:43
rhleeduanedesign: Is there any way to force u1 to do a local rescan, so that it only downloads the required files rather than overwriting them? Like with torrents.12:43
duanedesignrhlee: not that i am aware of12:44
rhleeduanedesign: But how does u1 keep track of which files need to be synced? It can just rely on inotify or whatever the api is. I mean what happens if a file is changed while u1sd is down?12:47
duanedesignrhlee: it does perform a local_rescan12:48
duanedesignrhlee: which logs had veteroks fix?12:49
rhleeduanedesign: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/05/19/%23ubuntuone.html12:50
duanedesignthank you rhlee12:51
rhleeduanedesign: np, But I take it I can't force u1 to perform a local_rescan until u1 it is in a idle state? Or can I?12:53
rhleeduanedesign: I just want to be able to resume a >500mb sync. The u1 servers are under a massive load (due to people like me) which makes syncs slow as molasses.12:53
=== JUMPA is now known as jumpa
duanedesignrhlee: it should do a local_rescan everytime you start up the syndaemon. So u1sdtool -q; u1sdtool -c   and server_rescan will be the last thing it does before connecting to the server13:08
rhleeduanedesign: Sorry I'm just going to head out to lunch now.13:15
rhleeduanedesign: I use Magicicada to inspect the content queue. Before I disconnect u1sd I have 38 files in the queue and shrinking, when I u1sdtool -q; u1sdtool -c, the queue jumps back up to 218 and it starts from the same file all over again. I.e. it overwrites the files it has already downloaded after I delete the udf metadata.13:15

newboon2age_Chipaca: i was just thinking of it as a possible workaround in the meantime...23:18
Chipacanewboon2age_: inotify is the most linux-specific chunk. The next one in the list of things that are hard on windows is dbus.23:19
