TheMusoAnybody else get only a small amount of bugmail in the last 12 hours or so? Or did I really receive no audio bugmail overnight? :)00:07
SarvattTheMuso: i got about 50 or so bug mails from ubuntu-x-swat in the past 12 hours, it does seem quiet :)01:34
micahgTheMuso: ah, there was some LP read only time today, maybe that affected it01:35

pittiGood morning06:42
* pitti merges libwmf to get desktop installable again07:21
baptistemmhi there07:31
and471mvo, mornin08:09
mvohey and471!08:09
and471mvo, I have fixed the gdebi papercut and it should be ready for merging https://code.launchpad.net/~and471/gdebi/fix-37696608:10
mvoand471: a quick question  lp:~and471/software-center/login-and-reviews-frontend <- should I merge this one ? or merge but exclude the review dialog bits?08:10
mvoand471: nice, I have a look08:10
and471mvo, gimme a sec08:10
mvoand471: gdebi> looks good! many thanks08:12
and471mvo, the method I use to write the config file is just as dirty as synaptic :D08:12
mvoand471: yeah, not worse at least ;)08:12
mvoand471: I have a look at the python-apt one (i.e. if I can add bindings to "Dump")08:12
and471mvo, ok, it should be easy enough to drop that in08:13
and471mvo, ok with lp:~and471/software-center/login-and-reviews-frontend08:13
and471mvo, IIRC the login dialog works and meets the spec08:14
mvoand471: login-and-review> ok, cool08:14
and471mvo, the review dialog is not yet finished08:14
and471however when you click the review button in the appdetailsviewgtk, it calls it up08:14
and471(the login dialog)08:14
and471so I suppose you could merge all as the login would appear, but not the review dialog as it is not hooked up to the login dialog yet08:15
mvoand471: ok, should I just not include those bits in the merge?08:15
mvoI guess the later08:15
and471mvo, having the review dialog stuff in there wouldn't impact it, it just wouldn't ever be run08:16
mvoand471: ok, if it does not break anything that should be fine :)08:16
and471mvo, hehe don't blame me if it does :D08:17
mvolol08:17
mvoand471: python-apt has a dump() method now, but it will not to nice indention08:30
and471ah ok :)08:30
and471mvo, can you drop that in, in the merge?08:31

tkamppeterI have a question about bug 610982. seb126 marked it "Invalid" without giving a comment. What is wrong with it?09:50
ubot2Launchpad bug 610982 in gconf (Ubuntu) "Problems when running gconf-based applications on a remote desktop (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61098209:50
pittino idea09:52
pittimight have been a glitich09:52
pittiogra: moved to main09:52
ograthanks a lot09:52
tkamppeterpitti, so should I simply move it back to "New"?09:52
pittitkamppeter: please do09:52
tkamppeterpitti, or add tasks for Thunderbird and OOo hoping that the maintainers of these apps would put more effort into it?09:53
tkamppeterpitti, set back to "New".09:54
pittitkamppeter: it doesn't look liek a gconf problem, though, much rather a d-bus session bus one09:54
ograyeah09:54
tkamppeterpitti, is seb128 on the GUADEC currently?09:54
ograwe have that prob in ltsp since years09:54
pittitkamppeter: yes09:54
pittisomething needs to launch a session d-bus when you log in remotely09:54
ograits the problem that dbus cant connect to your local machine over the network09:54
tkamppeterpitti, which package should I add then?09:55
ograthere should be a session dbus but its not connected to the right instance09:55
pittitkamppeter: d-bus, but I'm sure there's an existing bug for it already09:56
tkamppeterpitti, "dbus" added.09:57
tkamppeterpitti, ogra, the app should connect to the GConf on the remote box, then it would not need to reach over the network. And it should fall back to defaults in case it does not find any GConf (for example if remote box is headless app server).09:59
ograconnecting to an already running gconfd remotely has likely an xauth problem you need to solve first10:00
=== fta_ is now known as fta
ograas a workaround you could just add a wrapper script that fires up a gconfd instance and a session dbus inside your ssh session10:01
tkamppeterogra, can I somehow reset the XAUth for this connection? Note that it works partially, I can open X applications which do not use GConf.10:04
ograi dont know, i havent touched xauth for two years and a lot changed10:04
rickspencer3RAOF, are you still around at all?10:06
tkamppeterogra, thanks for the hints. I typed10:06
tkamppeter/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 &10:06
tkamppeterin my SSH session and afterwards started "ooffice" out of it and it came up without any problems.\10:07
ograperfect10:07
tkamppeterAlso the already running thunderbird stopped freezing (so it caught up the gconfd).10:08
ograthough be careful if you run a session on the machine that has a gconfd running too, they access the same db10:08
ogra(if its the same user)10:08
tkamppeterogra, now the problem is how to get it automatically working, as before Maverick it worked.10:09
tkamppeterogra, this will be the subject of the bug now.10:10
ograi dont think there is a way apart from a wrapper script10:10
tkamppeterogra, did Thunderbird and OOo change so that they require GConf now (and so they worked correctly before Maverick as that time they did not need GConf)?10:11
ograi think they did require gconf before10:11
tkamppeterogra, but why did they work then before?10:13
ograheh, i dont know :)10:13
ograsurely something has changed if it worked before10:13
ograbut i wouldnt think the apps did in that respect10:14
ogragconf, dbus or xauth defaults changed i guess10:14
tkamppeterogra, which package provides the xauth defaults?10:17
ograi think thats xauth10:17
tkamppeterogra, added it10:18
RAOFrickspencer3: Yeah, ish10:42
tkamppeterogra, thanks, I have added your suggestion to the bug report.10:43
rickspencer3RAOF, nm10:43
rickspencer3I was interested in working on my web cam widget10:44
rickspencer3but it can wait until you're properly at work10:44
RAOFAh, ok.10:44
RAOFI should point you at the gstreamer bug report about that, at least.  There's useful info there.10:44
rickspencer3thanks RAOF10:46
RAOFhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599885 is the relevant bug, which suggests calling gdk_window_ensure_native in the realized callback for your window.10:48

asacnot so great i mean12:02
asacseems that the pixbuf rendering is completely broken now (e.g. my gps map doesnt paint at all anymore ;))12:02

asaci dont think thats the goal ;)14:01
asac... but yes, i am not blocked14:01
seb128asac, why force upgrade? what conflicts do you get?14:01
seb128pitti, you can run /usr/share/doc/python-gnomekeyring/examples/keyring.py14:02
seb128to test14:02
asacseb128: i dont know anymore... my upgrade apparently aborted and dist-upgrade lead to this afterwards:14:02
asacYou might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.14:02

asaci think its a migratio nissue ... maybe you moved something that is missing during configure?14:09
seb128asac, robert_ancell did the update and we are at GUADEC this week14:09
asacalso the fact that my app previosly built against the old gtk failed then doesnt feel right14:09
seb128asac, I will ping you next week if I need infos14:09
asace.g. why do i need to reconfigure/rebuild.14:09
seb128well upgrade worked fine there14:09
seb128you should not need to, there is a trigger which should update that cache14:10
asacok. i think it was not "running", but just building14:10
asacso thats fine i guess14:10
seb128I'm wondering if that's another case of "the directory the triggers watch was not there before upgrade so the trigger doesn't work"14:10
asace.g. reconfigure was needed to find the right files during build etc.14:10
