| drcooper | i have branched lp:ubuntu-manual, now after editing , i have to commit the changes and then push back to lp...is this right? Is the description of revision that is displayed on Launchpad the commit statement? | 13:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nisshh | drcooper, are you using the command line to commit and push back to launchpad? | 13:01 |
| drcooper | nisshh: yes | 13:01 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ok, easy as pie | 13:01 |
| nisshh | all you need to do is pull first: bzr pull | 13:02 |
| nisshh | once you have done that, then do a: bzr commit -m "Description of my changes." | 13:02 |
| nisshh | then do a: bzr push | 13:02 |
| drcooper | nisshh: actually i used the full url to branch as "branch lp:ubuntu-manual" was not working...so i can push back using "bzr push url" ? | 13:03 |
| nisshh | drcooper, when doing the push and pulls though, you might want to add: lp:ubuntu-manual to the end | 13:03 |
| nisshh | drcooper, yep | 13:03 |
| drcooper | nisshh: where should i add lp:ubuntu-manual | 13:04 |
| drcooper | ? | 13:04 |
| nisshh | drcooper, dont add it, i thought it was working | 13:04 |
| nisshh | but since it isnt, do not worry | 13:04 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ok.. | 13:05 |
| nisshh | drcooper, what URL did you use to fetch the branch? | 13:05 |
| drcooper | nisshh: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/maverick | 13:06 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ah ok, that's fine, just wanted to make sure you were using the right one :) | 13:07 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ok.. | 13:07 |
| drcooper | Will ubuntu manual project cover the topice related to netbook edition? | 14:22 |
| drcooper | *topics | 14:22 |
| nisshh | drcooper, you mean will we have a manual for the netbook edition? | 14:22 |
| drcooper | ya | 14:23 |
| drcooper | or will current manual include topics related to unity | 14:23 |
| nisshh | drcooper, possibly in the future, although the focus is on stock desktop Ubuntu for now | 14:23 |
| drcooper | ok | 14:23 |
| drcooper | nisshh: i get error on pushing http://paste.ubuntu.com/511659/ | 14:38 |
| drcooper | i get error on pushing http://paste.ubuntu.com/511659/ ... anyone pls help | 14:41 |
| nisshh | drcooper, easy, you need to use bzr's protocol, replace https with bzr+ssh | 15:10 |
| drcooper | nisshh: how? | 15:10 |
| nisshh | drcooper, see where you have the URL to push to? | 15:10 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ya | 15:11 |
| drcooper | nisshh: what should i change | 15:11 |
| nisshh | drcooper, well, make https:// at the start of the URL, look like: bzr+ssh:// instead | 15:11 |
| nisshh | that should fix your problem | 15:11 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ok..will try | 15:12 |
| nisshh | drcooper, do you have an SSH key registered with launchpad? | 15:12 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ya | 15:12 |
| nisshh | ok, good | 15:12 |
| nisshh | drcooper, did it work? | 15:13 |
| drcooper | nisshh: im using a proxy server to get to the internet...will that affect ur suggestion? | 15:13 |
| nisshh | drcooper, possibly | 15:13 |
| drcooper | nisshh: nope...i actually deleted the branch in attempts to fix it | 15:14 |
| drcooper | nisshh: now i have to branch | 15:14 |
| drcooper | nisshh: will update you if i have any trouble | 15:14 |
| nisshh | drcooper, oh nice, you just deleted all your changes too :) | 15:14 |
| drcooper | nisshh: :( | 15:15 |
| nisshh | ok, sure | 15:15 |
| nisshh | drcooper, next time you run into trouble, just leave stuff as is when asking for help, that way you wont lose your changes next time :) | 15:15 |
| drcooper | nisshh: got it | 15:16 |
| nisshh | drcooper, got the branch? | 15:16 |
| nisshh | lol | 15:16 |
| * nisshh waves :) | 15:16 | |
| nisshh | i think someone clicked the wrong close button :) | 15:17 |
| bilalakhtar | nisshh: drcooper looks like he just dived into development :) | 15:24 |
| bilalakhtar | nisshh: btw, you could join my session about Ubuntu development tomorrow in the UOW! | 15:24 |
| nisshh | bilalakhtar, yes drcooper has | 15:34 |
| nisshh | bilalakhtar, and yes, i will be at your session (didnt know you were running one!) :) | 15:34 |
| * nisshh checks the schedule | 15:34 | |
| drcooper | nisshh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511698/ | 15:42 |
| drcooper | nisshh: but nothing is seen in lp | 15:42 |
| nisshh | drcooper, oh-oh, you created a NEW branch | 15:50 |
| nisshh | bad idea | 15:50 |
| nisshh | you need to push your changes to the existing one | 15:50 |
| drcooper | but where is the new branch even if i did create one | 15:51 |
| drcooper | nisshh: but where is the new branch even if i did create one | 15:51 |
| nisshh | drcooper, at that link most likely, give me a moment to figure out what you did | 15:51 |
| drcooper | nisshh: without the --create-prefix , i get error parent direcories missing...you may add ---create-prefix to create them | 15:53 |
| nisshh | drcooper, also, you forgot the colon after bzr+ssh | 15:53 |
| nisshh | drcooper, don't just do what bzr says, it is not always the best solution :) | 15:53 |
| drcooper | nisshh: hmm | 15:54 |
| nisshh | drcooper, use this command to grab the right branch: bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual | 15:55 |
| drcooper | that doesnt work for me | 15:55 |
| nisshh | drcooper, and use this command when pushing: bzr push lp:ubuntu-manual | 15:55 |
| nisshh | drcooper, what? does it come up with an error or something? | 15:55 |
| nisshh | drcooper, works fine for me | 15:56 |
| drcooper | nisshh: bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist. | 15:56 |
| nisshh | drcooper, aha, i know that error | 15:57 |
| drcooper | nisshh: solution | 15:57 |
| drcooper | ? | 15:57 |
| nisshh | drcooper, can i have a link to your lp profile? | 15:57 |
| nisshh | drcooper, one sec, just need to check something first | 15:57 |
| drcooper | nisshh: https://launchpad.net/~rohitr | 15:58 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ok, one moment | 15:59 |
| nisshh | drcooper, can you please run this command and pastebin the output: cat .bazaar/authentication.conf | 16:01 |
| drcooper | nisshh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511710/ | 16:02 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ok, now run these two commands, this one first: bzr launchpad-login rohitr | 16:03 |
| drcooper | the actual error i get is http://paste.ubuntu.com/511709/ | 16:03 |
| drcooper | i have done that nisshh | 16:04 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ah, that is a slightly different error | 16:04 |
| drcooper | what if i change method from ssh to http or https | 16:05 |
| nisshh | drcooper, no, use ssh | 16:05 |
| drcooper | nisshh: what if i change method from ssh to http or https | 16:05 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ok | 16:05 |
| nisshh | drcooper, can you go to the branch's directory and: cat .bzr/branch/branch.conf | 16:07 |
| nisshh | and pastebin the output please | 16:07 |
| nisshh | i think i know EXACTLY what is wrong now | 16:07 |
| nisshh | just want to know for sure | 16:07 |
| drcooper | nisshh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511720/ | 16:08 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ok, try this to pull: bzr pull bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/ | 16:10 |
| nisshh | if that doesnt work, i have something else you can try | 16:11 |
| drcooper | error : not a branch | 16:11 |
| drcooper | nisshh: i think thats not the link to the branch | 16:11 |
| drcooper | nisshh: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/maverick/ | 16:12 |
| drcooper | is | 16:12 |
| nisshh | drcooper, no it isnt | 16:12 |
| nisshh | drcooper, that is the link that bzr keeps trying to use, but it isnt working | 16:13 |
| drcooper | i should us it to push right? nisshh | 16:13 |
| nisshh | wait a sec | 16:13 |
| nisshh | drcooper, when you branch a fresh branch from launchpad, are you running the command from inside another branch? or just a normal directory? | 16:14 |
| nisshh | drcooper, because it should not keep history when branching a new branch | 16:15 |
| drcooper | normal dir nisshh | 16:15 |
| nisshh | hmmm | 16:15 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ok, try this: bzr branch bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/maverick/ | 16:16 |
| nisshh | if THAT doesnt work, then im going to facepalm | 16:16 |
| drcooper | nisshh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511726/ | 16:18 |
| drcooper | :( | 16:18 |
| drcooper | ssh isnt picking up my proxy i guess | 16:18 |
| nisshh | drcooper, yep, your proxy is the problem | 16:19 |
| nisshh | apparently to get bzr to work with it, you will need to fiddle with your .bashrc | 16:19 |
| drcooper | nisshh: so i cant contribute to any project ? | 16:19 |
| nisshh | drcooper, yes you can | 16:19 |
| nisshh | drcooper, any reason why you need the proxy? | 16:19 |
| drcooper | nisshh: im in an institute and we can get to internet only through the proxy | 16:20 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ah bugger | 16:20 |
| nisshh | drcooper, hang on a sec, ill consult one of my knowledgeable friends in another channel :) | 16:21 |
| drcooper | nisshh: ok | 16:21 |
| nisshh | drcooper, he says it is possible, just annoyingly difficult | 16:21 |
| popey | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/509543 | 16:22 |
| manualbot | Launchpad bug 509543 in bzr "not able to branch from launchpad behind proxy (squid) (dup-of: 186920)" [Undecided,Fix released] | 16:22 |
| manualbot | Launchpad bug 186920 in bzr "bzr xmlrpc client doesn't use http proxy, causing network errors trying to resolve lp: urls" [High,Fix released] | 16:22 |
| nisshh | popey, ah, thanks | 16:23 |
| drcooper | nisshh, popey my bzr is version 2.2 , the fix mentioned is to upgrade to 2.1 | 16:27 |
| nisshh | drcooper, there is an environment variable you should set | 16:27 |
| drcooper | nisshh: which one | 16:28 |
| nisshh | drcooper, but first, do you know for sure if your proxy allows ssh connections? | 16:28 |
| drcooper | nisshh: i do not know | 16:28 |
| drcooper | nisshh: it doesnt let mail clients work | 16:28 |
| nisshh | drcooper, if it doesnt, you have no hope unless you appeal to whoever manages the proxy server | 16:29 |
| drcooper | nisshh: :( | 16:29 |
| popey | drcooper: do you have an ssh server outside the network? | 16:29 |
| popey | preferably running on port 443? | 16:29 |
| popey | http://popey.com/blog/2010/02/25/proxies-in-the-way-of-testing/ | 16:29 |
| nisshh | popey, drcooper is at an institute behind a proxy server, seems unlikely :| | 16:30 |
| drcooper | popey: im not aware of one | 16:30 |
| popey | no, you misunderstand | 16:30 |
| popey | I'm asking if you have a VPS or other 'server' outside | 16:30 |
| popey | like where you host your website | 16:30 |
| nisshh | i see | 16:30 |
| nisshh | popey, to test the proxy? is that what your thinking? | 16:30 |
| drcooper | nisshh, popey im lost | 16:31 |
| popey | ok, simple question drcooper, do you have access to a server which has ssh server installed, which is on the internet somewhere, _outside_ your organisation? | 16:32 |
| drcooper | popey i do not have... | 16:33 |
| popey | ok, forget that suggestion then :) | 16:33 |
| drcooper | popey nisshh is ssh necessory to run bzr push? | 16:33 |
| popey | pass | 16:34 |
| nisshh | drcooper, just finding out now, i certainly have never tried it | 16:35 |
| nisshh | drcooper, just try: bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/maverick | 16:36 |
| nisshh | drcooper, if that doesnt work, i give up sorry :( | 16:37 |
| drcooper | nisshh: that works | 16:37 |
| drcooper | nisshh: push does not | 16:37 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ah ok | 16:37 |
| nisshh | drcooper, what error does it come up with when you push? | 16:37 |
| popey | not surprised push fails | 16:39 |
| popey | no authentication | 16:39 |
| drcooper | nisshh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511736/ | 16:39 |
| nisshh | popey, exactly | 16:39 |
| nisshh | drcooper, yep, looks like ssh is required, because of launchpad authentication | 16:39 |
| drcooper | im so screwed | 16:40 |
| nisshh | drcooper, sorry i am unable to help more, i suggest you get in touch with whoever administers your proxy server, and ask them to enable ssh over it | 16:40 |
| nisshh | drcooper, also, see the last comment in that bug report that popey linked to :) | 16:41 |
| drcooper | nisshh: is ssh even trying to contact the proxy server? | 16:41 |
| nisshh | that has an environment variable that you can set that may work | 16:41 |
| nisshh | drcooper, no idea | 16:41 |
| popey | drcooper: not if you dont tell it to | 16:49 |
| popey | i use ssh through a proxy server here, but it requires some very specific configuration | 16:50 |
| popey | if you haven't done that configuration, it flat out wont work | 16:50 |
| nisshh | i see | 16:50 |
| drcooper | popey : how to do that | 16:50 |
| nisshh | proxy servers are annoying :| | 16:50 |
| popey | drcooper: as I said, you need a server outside your network | 16:50 |
| drcooper | ohh | 16:51 |
| drcooper | :( | 16:51 |
| nisshh | drcooper, do you live at this institute? or do you have access to computers outside of it? | 16:51 |
| drcooper | nisshh: i live in the campus | 16:52 |
| nisshh | drcooper, ah ok | 16:52 |
| popey | I'm afriad I can't help without a box outside your network | 16:52 |
| nisshh | same | 16:53 |
| nisshh | makes it very difficult | 16:53 |
| * nisshh goes and watches a movie | 16:54 | |
| * drcooper will have to do that for the rest of his time in the damned institute | 16:54 | |
| drcooper | thants 2.5 years :( | 16:55 |
| drcooper | is there any alternate way other than bzr...popey...to contribute? | 17:00 |
| drcooper | contribute code | 17:00 |
| nisshh | drcooper, not really :( | 17:01 |
| nisshh | drcooper, you could always just hunt for bugs or something | 17:01 |
| nisshh | drcooper, which won't require bzr | 17:01 |
| drcooper | nisshh: i was really pumped up to start contributing code and now this :( | 17:02 |
| nisshh | drcooper, it happens, i know :| | 17:05 |
| drcooper | nisshh, popey how come my bzr launchpad-login works? it uses https? | 17:08 |
| * dutchie is now a proud thinkpad owner | 17:11 | |
| popey | Success! Wrote 166 pages | 17:19 |
| popey | drcooper: its still possible to contribute from behind a proxy | 17:24 |
| drcooper | popey how | 17:24 |
| popey | well, you can find bugs, check the source code out and build the packages locally to test them, then create patches and attach those to the bug report | 17:27 |
| popey | which is exactly what we ask people to do when they're patching code | 17:27 |
| drcooper | popey will this ( http://shells.red-pill.eu/ ) help to fix my problem as u mentioned? | 17:48 |
| drcooper | popey can i use myfreedom to tunnel th proxy? | 17:53 |
| drcooper | popey i meant "yourfreedom" | 17:54 |
| popey | i have never used that shell account provider | 17:58 |
| popey | i personally have a VPS I use | 17:58 |
| popey | which I have an SSH server running on port 443 | 17:59 |
| drcooper | popey: i got it working | 20:28 |
| drcooper | :) | 20:28 |
