ppearseI'd like to report a bug in libffi5, but I can't find the associated project in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs. Am I searching incorrectly, or do I need to add the project somehow?08:49
=== bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar
jibel_ppearse, did you tried to run "ubuntu-bug libffi5" in a terminal ?09:12
ppearseThis is a cross compile build bug - I was trying to submit a report manually. Will ubuntu-bug allow me to attach my fix patch?09:16
ppearsejibel: Oops, broadcast rather than directed09:16
persiappearse, You'll have to attach the patch after the bug is filed, but sure.09:16
ppearsejibel: OK I'll do that then09:17
jibel_ppearse, yes, it will collect the information from your local system, then redirect you to launchpad to add any information you want.09:17
persia(asking the entire channel is often preferred here, unless there is a specific need for a specific individual)09:17
bilalakhtarhey persia I'm sorry for asking this too many times but what happened to coolbhavi's application?09:21

baptistemmhi there10:09
baptistemmdid I miss something in bug 615509 to be reviewed for SRU validation?10:09

seb128baptistemm, hi10:12
seb128baptistemm, yes, to subscribe ubuntu-sponsors10:12
persiabaptistemm, I don't see anything missing.  I'd recommend asking in #ubuntu-testing in a few hours: the SRU-verification people tend to hang out there.10:12
seb128baptistemm, ubuntu-sru review things in the upload queue10:12
persiaseb128, Does it no longer need approval pre-upload?10:12
seb128did it ever do?10:13
seb128I'm not really aware of universe rules so ignore me if I'm wrong10:13
seb128what I said stands for main uploads10:13
persiaThe process got unified, but I've never been sure if it needed upload first or not since unification.10:14
seb128there was an "SRUs: Upload *FIRST* for review" discussion on ubuntu-devel@l.u.c recently10:15
seb128but that discussion did go far it seems, out of pitti agreeing since that's what is done for main for a while10:16
baptistemmubuntu-sponsor is already subscribed10:20
persiaupload first makes sense, since the LP UI exposes useful stuff to non-archive-admins now.10:20

vishgah! netsplits!10:40
thekornvish: you have to `make install` the dbus-test-runner10:43
thekornour just make  and make sure the resulting executable is in PATH10:43
vish hmm , i thought i did the install , let me try again..10:44
vishdoh! i had tried make without root priv!  and i dint notice the permissons denied error ! :/10:52

vishthekorn: also, how do you retrace the .crash locally?  [i have a couple of bugs still waiting for retracers :)]11:17

seb128thekorn, that's the launchpad bug breaking the retracers11:24

thekornseb128: yes, but let me double check11:25
seb128thekorn, it might be working on bugs you opened as well11:25

vishsense: hmm, maybe i should have updated that on the wiki :(16:01
thekornvish: talking about our mentorship program: seems like I have no luck with my students, noone answered to my various mails, and the one who was bussy with other things for about one month did not report back either16:05

utkanosare there known issues with update-initramfs not behaving properly?20:07
jzarris there a channel for help with livecd customization?20:09
charlie-tcaMaybe #ubuntu-installer20:10
utkanosi seem to be stuck in a nasty loop of apt/dpkg and update-initramfs/mkinitramfs that I cannot break out of20:10
jamincjzarr, there's a pretty detailed wiki page in the community documentation on how to customize the CD20:11
utkanosanyone willing to take a crack at it?20:11
vishcharlie-tca: pedro_: while announcing bug days, werent we also usually mentioning ways to debug for the specific app, like for banshee there was no mention of what we need to request info about20:11
jzarrjaminc, ive been there, need a little more info than the page has, i think i need to modify some of the casper-bottom stuff, but not sure20:12
vishi had to look at other triaged bugs and see what they usually need for debugging.20:12
pedro_vish, 'usually' yes, we point users to doc if we have those20:12
charlie-tcaWe mention it if there is a specific procedure requested from the devs, too.20:12
vishpedro_: yeah , why i ask is we seem to slowly forget mentioning that info in the wiki recently :D20:13
jamincjzarr, what are you trying to get it to do?20:13
vishlast i recall was we had that was for Ubuntuone..20:13
utkanosugh20:13
jzarrim trying to sneak in a post-login bash script that gets user input, putting it in /etc/profile is to early, no mouse/keyboard support20:14
jzarri think i need to add a script to casper-bottom or init-bottom, but not sure20:15
jamincand this input is needed prior to what point?20:15
jzarrnone, just need keyboard/mouse/network, essentially what im making is a live usb stick, stick in a box, it grabs dmesg cpuinfo etc, pushes it to a file share, then shuts down20:16
jamincjzarr why not put it into rc.local then?20:17
jzarrmaybe im mistaken, but i thought rc.local is run before /etc/profile and if thats too soon ...20:17
utkanosi seem to be stuck in a nasty loop of apt/dpkg and update-initramfs/mkinitramfs that I cannot break out of, any known bugs in update-initramfs?20:18
jamincit's one of the last init scripts to run... I thought I'd gotten user input during it before... I could be wrong...20:18
jzarrill give it a try20:18
jamincwhich (meta-)package should I file a bug report against for differing/conflicting user/group accounts between default server and desktop installs?20:19
jzarrif i do need to add to casper-bottom, is it as simple as creating a 99_script and dropping it in there?20:19
jamincyes20:19
abhijitbye20:20
jamincI just copied one of the existing scripts in there as a baseline and used it20:20
jzarroh ok, i got a little confused by the prereq stuff, thought i had to declare something someplace else20:20
jzarrit just uses the front numbers for ordering?20:21
jamincthat's what it looks like from what I saw20:21
jzarrcool, ill give rc.local a try, then that, thanks for the help20:21
jamincjzarr, any time20:21
jzarractually one more question while i got ya ;-) any trick to mounting the same usb stick used to boot?20:22
utkanoscan anyone help with what appears to be a bug in update-initramfs please?20:22
utkanosi found a dirty hack/work around for installing anything else via apt, except a kernel, which actually needs to generate an initrd20:24
jamincjzarr, guessing you don't want to write into the persistence area?20:26
jzarri wasnt aware there was one, hows that work20:27
jamincone sec, let me get the page20:27
jzarrthx20:27
jamincjzarr, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence20:27
jamincthe persistence file is basically just a loop back file system afterwards... if you want to extract anything20:29
jzarrohh, i thought it was a mount shadowed to the usb stick, this needs to be noob friendly so they can grab logs of the stick20:30
jaminclet me check one of my other sticks... I can't remember if I did that or just used the persistence20:31
jaminclooks like I just used the persistence area once I worked out how to use it20:36
