wersI'm going to change my LP ID. it's best to make an account to block the old one right? for OpenID security?06:22
wersor has that issue already been fixed?06:22
wgrantIf you've used the old username-based OpenID URL, you could do that.06:23

lifelessAIUI06:24
werslifeless, hmm. as far as I understand, they would work again if someone uses my old nick06:25
wersbecause the OpenID tokens are based on the LP URL06:25
wgrantThat's correct. https://launchpad.net/~OLDUSERNAME could be taken by somebody else.06:25
wgrantBut those are not the tokens used by internal consumers -- they use random IDs.06:25
lifelesswers: they won't have your cookies.06:25
lifelesswers: if they had *your browser cookies*, and *your old username*, then there would be a hole06:26
werslifeless, hmmmm. makes sense06:26
wgrantlifeless: What do cookies have to do with it?06:26
wgrantIf I log into a website as https://launchpad.net/~wgrant and rename my account, somebody can come along and rename their account to wgrant and impersonate me.06:27
wersbecause cookies will give the authentication page that asks you if you want to proceed with that ID06:27
wgrantIt will work fine.06:27
wersI'm not sure if that's how OpenID and LP work, though06:27
spivThey might not be able to log in as wers, but depending on what the consumer does with OpenID they may be attributing things to launchpad.net/~OLDUSERNAME that shouldn't be attributed.06:27

wgrantSome things will identify based on username, others on https://launchpad.net/~username.06:33
wgrantI don't really know how to tell.06:33
wgrantBut most Canonical services will identify based on another URL which will follow your account.06:33
wersspm, does that mean I won't have problems with login.u.c if I change my LP ID?06:33

hendrik"Launchpad requires a REFERER header to perform this action. There is no REFERER header present."09:48
hendrikFiltering on Referer header is not a reliable way to prevent CSRF attacks because a number of plugins allow to set it to anything the attacker wants.09:49
hendrikInteresting enough the German Wikipedia article has a whole subsection on why this is a bad idea: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery#HTTP-Referrer-Pr.C3.BCfung09:51
wgrantThe Flash bug was fixed years ago.09:53
wgrantIt's not the best solution, no.09:53

wgrantHm?09:54
wgrantYes, it's somewhat inconvenient for users, but it's not unsafe.09:54
hendrikThere is "just" the risk of exposing session ids on less than perfect web applications.09:56

wgrantFirewalls can't filter it -- it's HTTPS.09:56

wgranthendrik: Ah, you refer to other web applications which inappropriately store the session ID in the URL?09:58

bacjtv: btw, i was amazed at how easy it was to get set up!13:36
bacjtv: i have an open policy now, b/c i want to solicit drive by help, but only in the targeted languages, else people are wasting effort.13:36
jtvbac: the only way to do that right now is to have a translation group.  But it may be more use to edit the template description(s) to say "we're really only supporting these languages."13:36
bacjtv: you mean edit the .pot file?  will a comment be displayed in the UI?13:37
maxbWhat's the story with help contacts these days? As in, there never seems to be one.13:37

bacjtv: i understand about closing the door, but this project is very specific to a handful of languages.  i'll try editing the .pot file13:41
jtvbac: ah!  Well, not literally the .pot file (we tend to equate them…) but the template details.13:41
maxbmatsubara: It's a registration confirmation email which has apparently not arrived.13:41
Odd_Blokematsubara: I registered with daniel.watkins@credativ.co.uk, and our mail servers haven't seen the registration email yet.13:41
jtvbac: I should've made the distinction; I can only apologize.  Go to the UI for your template, and set the description.13:42
bacjtv: as is often the case, you've confused me.  :)13:42
Odd_BlokeI believe the problem to stem from the fact that the email address in question was related to my daniel-thewatkins account and, indeed, I merged an automatically created account for daniel.watkins@credativ.co.uk into my daniel-thewatkins account some time in the past.13:42
jtvbac: where in Launchpad is the template in question?  Or are the templates in question?13:42

seb128it has no comment, no other affected user, no duplicate, it's not a crash, not a security issue, not a private bug14:23
seb128in theory it should not get any heat but it's ranked first on the indicator-session bugslist14:24
deryckseb128, let me take a look now....14:25
seb128deryck, hey14:25
seb128deryck, thanks ;-)14:25
derycknp :-)14:25
seb128I will check for bugs about heat14:25
seb128https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bugs has it with color over the heat icons14:25
seb128where the bug page has not14:26
seb128and clicking on the "?" in the bug list gives a "Lost something?" indication rather than explanation about heat14:26
seb128it works on the bug page thoug14:26
seb128though14:26
deryckseb128, so about the heat number first...  all the subscribers will add heat, and recent activity adds heat, so if someone recently subscribed then you get more heat for it being a longer standing bug....14:28
deryckthat kind of heat should decay quickly though with inactivity14:28
seb128hum14:29
seb128the bug has 1 subscriber and subscribe add 2 to to the heat14:29
seb128and the bug didn't get touched for a week14:30
deryckseb128, bug several subscribers via the structural subscription14:30
derycks/bug/but14:30
deryckbugs on the mind I guess14:30
seb128ie bug #62380414:30
ubot5Launchpad bug 623804 in indicator-session (Ubuntu) "Enable users to configure on the previous 'shutdown timer' feature (affected: 1, heat: 6)" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/62380414:30
seb128that should get the same heat14:30
seb128the also subscribed are the same14:30
seb128it's newer than the other one14:30
seb128and has the same number of subscribers14:31
seb128but heat is only 6 there14:31
seb128that doesn't make sense to me14:31
seb128or bug #62008214:31
ubot5Launchpad bug 620082 in indicator-session (Ubuntu) "Lock screen shortcut not changed dynamically (affected: 1, heat: 6)" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/62008214:31
seb128I fail to see what parameter makes the first one different14:32
deryckseb128, I'm not sure either, but I would guess some recent activity on the higher bug that is not reflected on the activity log.  Maybe someone unsubscribed and we counted that as activity and added points when we shouldn't have?  (Just a guess)14:33
seb128well that sort of activity would have been adding small amount of heat14:33
seb128subscriptions, etc should be only 2 points of heat14:34
seb128and that would have generated bug emails14:34
seb128hum no, not subscription...14:34
deryckseb128, yes, for the thing itself, i.e. the subscriber isn't worth much, but there is a percentage of the packages total heat that is added for every day of recent activity.14:34
deryckthis was added to make the hot bugs list more responsive to daily activity.  There is also a percentage that is substracted from heat for every day of inactivity.14:35
seb128well that bug is less active that the 2 others i listed which got triaged14:35
seb128well I would understand it hear had doubled14:35
seb128well I would understand it the heat had doubled14:36
deryckseb128, but I'm suggesting perhaps the higher heat bug has more recent subscriber changes that aren't reflected in the mail or activity log for the bug.14:37
deryckseb128, I would give it a couple days and if the bug heat doesn't drop, then we should file a bug to try and track down exactly what has happened.14:37
seb128ok, thanks14:37
seb128I will watch for other cases14:37
seb128ideally the heat would give details on click14:37
seb128like 6 = 3 subscribers * 2 point14:38
seb128so we would know exactly why the bug is heated ;-)14:38
deryckseb128, thanks, more cases would help, too!  and I'll file a bug about the heat help pop not showing on the bug listing.14:38
seb128deryck, thanks14:38
seb128deryck, there is bug #587542 about the other issue I mentioned before14:43

=== Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk
deryckseb128, I'm wondering if the percentage of heat added for activity isn't overly high for packages, because it's using the max heat of the distro to get the percentage rather than max heat for package.14:52
seb128do you have any way to figure that from your side?14:52
seb128ie to know the detail of a bug heat?14:53
deryckseb128, it's a trigger in postgres that runs on any number of actions.... so we could figure it out, but it would take a combination of searching activity and subscriber activity to work out14:58
seb128ok14:59
seb128I will keep observing and probably open a bug about it14:59
seb128heat numbers are mostly useless right now on ubuntu sources14:59
seb128lot of bugs without any subscriber, comment or change get high heat for no visible reason14:59
deryckseb128, but is it bad comparably speaking?  i.e. even though the numbers are high, are the lower heat bugs even less active?  Or there appears no difference in the high and low heat bugs?15:01
seb128deryck, well, bugs with ten of duplicates and affect user get three time less that the one I just listed15:05
