rickspencer3RAOF, TheMuso hey dudes00:24
TheMusoHey rickspencer3.00:24
rickspencer3so, I am being totally aweful00:25
rickspencer3I have not even looked at the wiki for the team meeting or anything :(00:25
rickspencer3maybe RAOF is not even here?00:26
TheMusoNo idea...00:26
* TheMuso sighs. People file bugs, say there is no sound, and they have 2 output devices connected. Whats the bet that their speakers are connected to the device that hasn't been selected from the sound preferences to be used...00:30
ehcahHello00:38
TheMusoCan anybody using both unity and GNOME confirm this bug? bug 63812300:46

TheMusorickspencer3: thanks.01:06
rickspencer3TheMuso, what are the repro steps?01:06
rickspencer3I go into Gnome, log out, and then into Unity?01:06
TheMusorickspencer3: What was given as the symptom in the bug so to speak. I.e use audio in GNOME or unity, log out, and switch to the other DE, and try using audio via pulse again.01:07
rickspencer3I'll try01:07
TheMusothanks.01:07
rickspencer3hey TheMuso01:09
rickspencer3no bug for me01:09
rickspencer3worked fine01:09
TheMusorickspencer3: Ok, I'll see if I can test myself later to be sure, but I suspected something wrong with the local system for the reporter anyway.01:10
rickspencer3but I did get to listen to some Alman Brothers, so that's good01:10
* TheMuso has a full plate today, got to get a few things in before final freeze.01:10

nessitagood morning! can I please have a sponsorship for ubuntu-sso-client? (merge proposal at https://code.launchpad.net/~nataliabidart/ubuntu/maverick/ubuntu-sso-client/ubuntu-sso-client-1.0.1/+merge/35482 )12:50
mvonessita: I can do that13:13
mvonessita: may I suggest to include a ".bzr-builddeb/default.conf" with "[BUILDDEB]\nsplit=True" to make it trivial to build with bzr-buildpackage?13:15
mvonessita: this way uploaders just need to type "bzr-builddeb" (or bzr-builddeb -S)13:16
mvonessita: uploaded13:22
ogradid anything change wrt the favorites category ?13:22
ograi cant create a .desktop file with Category=Favorites; and have it show up in the favorites anymore it seems13:22
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
mvoogra: I'm not sure that this ever worked, but you can try adding a file to /usr/share/app-install/menu.d/my-favs.menu and add a menu similar to "featured.menu" there. I'm not sure if it will merge it or not though13:34
mvoogra: its a interessting idea to merge it13:34
ograwell, it used to work with the old netbook-launcher to just use Category=Favorites;13:34
ograi dont think we had any .menu file for it13:35
mvohm, could you try to add <Category>Faviorites</Category> to the featured.menu then?13:36
mvoogra: you want it to appear in the netbook-launcher? or in software-center?13:36
ogranetbook-launcher(-efl)13:36
ogranetbook-launcher itself is dead, i'm not sure, it might have added a .menu file for it13:37
ograthough i think favorites are in the xdg spec13:37
ograso it should just work13:37
* ogra checks netbook-launcher13:37

Sarvattwould anyone be willing to sponsor RAOF's xserver package upload? the kernel team is about to revert the disable KMS on i8xx stuff and it's dependent on the patch in it16:22
Sarvatt<RAOF> So, before I board this plane, the two sponsorship opportunities are: http://cooperteam.net/Packages/xorg-server_1.9.0-0ubuntu6.dsc & http://cooperteam.net/Packages/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_1.2.2-2ubuntu4.dsc16:22
Sarvatthe's off at a conference16:22
rickspencer3Sarvatt so what's the situation exactly?16:36
rickspencer3RAOF has fixed the mesa problem, but the patch needs to be uploaded?16:37
mvoSarvatt: I can do that, I have a i830 that I keep around for testing and it fails badly with current maverick16:38
kenvandinerickspencer3, i don't think those are related16:38
rickspencer3I'm confused, why was the new mesa uploaded if it broke UNE so badly?16:39
SarvattI'm not aware of any fix from RAOF and he's on the plane to a conference, I'm in the middle of bisecting it right now to try to find the problem, most of the upstream developers are at the conference too :(16:39
rickspencer3should we not be reverting the mesa upload?16:40
kenvandinelooking at the changelog, there was some bug fixes for radeon from RAOF listed and adding support for new intel hardware16:41
mvoSarvatt: I can not judge 205_udev-product-ids.patch but 206_intel_8xx_default_to_fbdev.patch should be fine16:41
mvoSarvatt: but that is a cherry pick?16:42
Sarvattmvo: 206 is the result of the discussion about fixing up i8xx devices, 205 is a fix from cnd to make bluetooth devices work properly and is queued for upstream (so yeah it's a cherry pick of sorts) it fixes some multitouch devices16:45
Sarvattrickspencer3: sorry, splitting up the conversation between two channels - <Sarvatt> want me to prepare a revert to upload? I'm not confident this can be fixed in a reasonable timeframe16:45
Sarvatt<Sarvatt> I think we should wait for RAOF to pop on though16:45
mvoSarvatt: ok, I sposnor the xorg-server upload now then16:46
Sarvattif RAOF has a fix it'd be *much* preferred to go with that, KDE desperately needed the mesa update. this update broke intel the same way ATI has always been broken so I'm not exactly sure where the problem lies.16:46
kenvandineSarvatt: any idea when RAOF might show up?16:47
rickspencer3Sarvatt what channel should I be on?16:53

cyphermoxanybody has omg-broken bugs for NM that I should be aware of? trying to unbreak as many last things as possible before final freeze :)18:49
devildantecyphermox: I have a problem with automatic login, but I don't know if it's fixed, I should update first :p18:51
cyphermoxdevildante, what do you mean? with unlocking the keyring for wifi passwords and such? I was really referring to NetworkManager -specific issues :)18:51
devildantecyphermox, yes :) has it been fixed?18:52
cyphermoxdevildante, err, you tell me? I'll be very interested to know the details, do you have a bug number for that issue?18:52
devildantecyphermox, not that I know of, I'll do some searching first18:53
cyphermoxdevildante, cool and thanks, please keep me posted18:53

Chipacamvo: ping18:58
mvopong18:58
Chipacamvo: hi. do you have a minute or 15?18:59
devildantecyphermox, I dunno if it's really related to the keyring that much ; the bug causes X to crash and I must kill nm-applet to have it back running18:59
Chipacamvo: re aptdaemon18:59
devildantemvo, vish, hi there :)18:59
mvoChipaca: yes18:59

devildantemvo, vish, been a long time... hey, wait, only 2 days :p18:59
mvoheh :)19:00
cyphermoxdevildante, that's way different, yes. but does X crash completely or do you mean the nm-applet icon just doesn't get added to the notification area?19:00
Chipacamvo: seems like the non-async codepath is broken (we used a bit of that in a rhythmbox plugin), and in looking into it to fix, I now get two password dialogs19:00
Chipacamvo: let me throw some code at you19:00
devildantecyphermox, both19:00
Chipacamvo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/494334/19:01

cyphermoxdevildante, you lose all graphics? again, do you have a bug for this or could you open one?19:01
mvoChipaca: but let me look at your diff irst19:01
Chipacamvo: not a diff, sorry; I was working around rather than through the problem19:01
devildantecyphermox, I don't see one, so I'll post a bug with all the details. should it be against nm or gnome keyring?19:02
mvoChipaca: there was a little bit of rework, give me a minute (or 15) to show you the new world order19:02
Chipacamvo: yessir!19:02
Chipacamvo: this is apparently based on code you threw at aquarius last year :)19:02
mvoChipaca: sorry for the trouble, next cycle the api will be less volatile19:02
mvoChipaca: I remember that :)19:02
mvoChipaca: but that code has different indents ;)19:03

mvoChipaca: uh, a good question - so its stuck in authenticate_for_add_and_install?21:57
mvoChipaca: sounds like some craziness with the inline callbacks, you could unwind it to a normal callback/errback and see if that changes anything (sorry for not being more helpful)21:57
Chipacamvo: np. I don't think it's stuck there, because I get prompted for the password and all. I've gone the opposite way, making everything more inlinecallbackish, and it seems to be working so far (getting other errors, which is progress)22:05
