hggdhsbeattie: do we really need to have QRT-depends on sudo, lsb-release, ssl-certs, and openssl?00:09
hggdhat least sudo and lsb-release?00:09
hggdhdevildante: see if the references are indeed in the -dev00:10
devildantehggdh: how do I do that?00:11
hggdhdevildante: did you run 'sudo apt-get builddep empathy'?00:11
hggdhdevildante: er... grep -R launchpad_integration_add_ui *00:12

drew212_gah, i hate this web based IRC =X00:13
hggdhdrew212_: try weechat ;-)00:13
hggdhoh, _web_00:13
drew212_hggdh: yeah, i'm at school/work right now =P00:14
drew212_hggdh: i thought i would hop into chat in case one of my mentee's was online and had any questions... all i'm doing is HW right now.00:14
hggdhheh00:15
hggdhschool/work?00:15
devildantehggdh: yes, I ran build-dep00:15
drew212_hggdh: i work at school, i'm a computer lab assistant/supervisor00:16
hggdhoh cool!00:16
hggdhdevildante: try the grep00:16
drew212_basically i sit at a terminal in the entryway to the lab and make sure nobody has drinks or food...00:16
hggdhdevildante: how did you grab the empathy source?00:16
devildantehggdh: the grep doesn't spit anything (not even an error)00:17
hggdhdrew212_: oh. This is something I did not do while at school...00:17
drew212_hggdh: its pretty nice, $9 an hour to do my homework and triage bugs =)00:17
devildantehggdh: bzr branch lp:ubuntu/empathy (I need to fix a bug introduced by a patch, it seems)00:17
hggdhdevildante: I never built empathy, so I am not sure you have the correct source00:18
devildantehmm00:19
devildantedarn :p00:19
drew212_vish: how long do we wait to drop a mentee if no contact is made?00:24
hggdhdrew212_: wait some two/three weeks00:27
charlie-tcahmm, I have to drop mine. One quit and one disappeared00:28
hggdhheh. I think this seems to be the norm, not the exception, charlie-tca00:28
drew212_hggdh: yeah, I'm going to send him an email again at the end of this week just to make sure he got the last one.00:28
drew212_hggdh: that means i was an exception then? lol00:29
hggdhdrew212_: I would say a bit more than 50%00:29
drew212_hggdh: we should keep a running tally/list and document everything so we know how certain mentors are doing, and how the program is working, if its working at all00:30
charlie-tcaI win though. I got one half-trained before he dropped00:30
drew212_s/certain/well00:30
drew212_charlie-tca: my mentor went MIA, then i got accepted into bug-control and soon after became a mentor myself =P00:31
charlie-tcayeah, that happens to, I guess00:32
drew212_charlie-tca: i doubt thats normal though... especially with someone so active in the community... i hope nothing bad happened =X00:33
hggdhdrew212_: we *do* keep looking at it00:35

ta_bu_shi_da_yuit's actually better than mine :-)17:10

ta_bu_shi_da_yudunno who he is, but his idea was certainly on the money :-)17:11

ta_bu_shi_da_yuI was just trying to work out how to debug segfaults17:12
ta_bu_shi_da_yuit was an interesting exercise17:12
hggdhwell, this would be a nice exercise on that, certainly17:12
drosenbeheh, welcome to crash analysis :)17:12
ta_bu_shi_da_yuthanx... so far have worked out where two crashes have occured17:12
ta_bu_shi_da_yuthe other one was in sqlite317:12

ta_bu_shi_da_yuI've learned an unbelievable amount of stuff so far17:13

drosenbestrace is in binutils i believe17:23
