drew212bah, 10.10 killed eclipse =X00:48
hggdhhum. Mine is running00:58
micahgdrew212: you running eclipse.org version?01:03
moldyjibel: yeah, but that was not my problem01:12
moldymy problem was the "incompatibility" of launchpad + w3m01:12
micahgmoldy: try lynx01:14
moldymicahg: will try next time, took the hassle to go through a gui for now01:17
moldybut i already installed lynx, links and elinks for next time ;)01:18

Gryllidanext meeting 12 oct? it's the past04:52
AHemlocksLieokay, so as I was saying in #ubuntu, I have the patch I need, I just gotta figure out how to apply it04:52
AHemlocksLieany ideas on that, maco?04:52
macoyes i know how to apply patches04:52
AHemlocksLiedo you need to see the patch I have?04:52
macoyes04:53
macoim looking for a bug report on this because thats something that REALLY ought to be fixed04:53
AHemlocksLieone sec, I'll pastebin it04:53
AHemlocksLiemaco http://pastebin.com/e3BwQzvX04:54
persiaGryllida, Next one will probably be scheduled sometime around 8th September, but needs confirmation first.04:54
Gryllidaok04:54
AHemlocksLiewasn't entirely sure what syntax highlighting to use since it's C++ code but looks like it has some bash in it, so I left it unhighlighted04:54
Gryllidapersia: er, you mean 8th September 2011, or 8th November 2010? :)04:55
macoGryllida: i think persia was making a joke04:55
GryllidaHaha.04:56
AHemlocksLiemaco, I don't wanna rush you, especially since you're helping me and all, but I'm at McDonalds, and they close in about 3 minutes04:57
macoapt-get source ndiswrapper ; cd ndiswrapper-1.56 ; patch --dry-run -p1 < ../foo.patch          <-- if that works, repeat the last command without the "--dry-run" then:   debuild04:58
macoyou need to install devscripts to run debuild04:58
macothatd make you a new deb of it04:58
AHemlocksLieI already have the source for ndiswrapper, so just cd to that folder?04:58
macoyep04:59
AHemlocksLieis that -p1 as in the number 1?04:59

macoi see two bugs reported for failures to build04:59
AHemlocksLiesuccess!05:00
AHemlocksLiemaco, you are awesome, let's see if it compiles properly now...05:00

drew212is it possible for apport to fail a retrace and not mark it? i have strace and threaded strace with no symbols05:13
micahgdrew212: hmm...what's the bug #?05:13
drew212bug 56554805:13
ubot2Launchpad bug 565548 in firefox (Ubuntu) "firefox-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in __gxx_personality_v0() (affects: 2) (heat: 19)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/56554805:13
drew212its tagged apport crash, but there's no symbols =X05:13
micahgdrew212: no retracer05:14
drew212micahg: ???05:14
micahgdrew212: apport retracer was never subscribed since there's no core dump, it must have been a prtial upload05:15
micahg*partial05:15
drew212micahg: ask for a resubmittal?05:15
drew212micahg: there isn't alot of information on what a retrace is or how to do it.05:17
micahgdrew212: yeah, I think so05:18
micahgit was also prelucid05:18
persiaGryllida, um, september05:20
drew212micahg: i've been busy with school, but i'm learning alot... i hope to be able to make patches in the future05:21
persiamaco, No, rather calender reform confuses me: this is october, which is obviously the 8th month, so the next month is the ninth, which is september.05:22
* micahg wonders what calendar reform is05:22
macomicahg: the months got renamed and retimed at some point...he's right latinally about octo being 8...05:25
persiamicahg, so, a little while ago, there was this war leader who took the dangerous step of leading troops over the rubicon rivier.  This was unprecedented, and he was successful in his coup attempt.  Later, he and his successor were honored by having their names added to the names of the months in the calendar.  Unfortunately, the folks who added them couldn't count, so instead of replacing sevenmonth and eightmonth with the honoring months, they05:25
persiainserted them, and since then, we end up having sevenmonth, eightmonth, ninemonth, and tenmonth be the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months of the year.05:25
drew212micahg: O_o after a little bit of OO programming i can read the straces a bit now05:26
persiaMore recently, a two different set of folks decided to skip about three weeks, but they did this something like 23 months apart, which gets confusing for anyone trying to navigate the 17th century.05:26
persia(or maybe it was 23 years.  I forget)05:26
macoand gregory ditched 10 days in october05:26
macoin..umm... 1524?  something like that05:26
micahgpersia: hah, yeah, hmmm, makes sense05:27
persiaAnyway, generally, "Calendar Reform" is the umbrella description for governments monkeying with how nominal days relate to observed days.05:27
micahgGregorian vs Julian calendar05:27
micahgdrew212: that's good05:27
drew212micahg: maybe after i get more experience with C ill understand the traces even more... some of the syntax is, meh05:28
persiamicahg, Those are the common ones: if you want something awkward, look into the calendrier républicain05:29
macodrew212: i was surprised to find last time i straced a broken program of mine that i could make sense of the output05:30
drew212maco: yeah? lol, i'm just getting into CS, so we haven't done much debugging with straces, i'm not sure what class we'll learn that in...05:31
drew212all we've done is used some debugging tools in eclipse05:31
macodrew212: probably none of them05:31
macomy school did not teach anything about debugging05:31
micahgdrew212: so, are you using the distro eclipse or from eclipse.org?05:31
drew212maco: where did you go?05:31
drew212micahg: distro05:31
macoi go to george washington university05:31
drew212micahg: its broken on 10.10 =X05:32
drew212maco: University of Illinois here =)05:32
micahgdrew212: shouldn't be crashing unless you have xulrunner-1.9.1 installed for some reason05:32
macodrew212: debuggers arent part of computer science theory, so i wouldnt expect them to teach it05:32
drew212micahg: its not totally broken, just the subversion plugin05:32
macothe difference between CS curricula and "Software Engineering" seems to be how they balance theory and practice05:32
micahgdrew212: hmm, weird05:32
drew212maco: its a relavant part of what we're being taught, i had to use a debugger to reverse engineer the test cases =X05:33
macoeven in a practice-heavy curriculum id be surprised by much "how to use tools" -- itd be like them teaching how to use a text editor when they want to be teaching you to code05:34
macolearn it on your own time in advance and you'll be in much better shape than the other students who will spend hours adding printf() all over, compiling, running, etc. (like i still do...)05:34
drew212maco: there is side reading on most of the tools05:34
* maco needs to get around to reading The Art of Debugging05:35
drew212some of it is required, some of it is not05:35
* micahg wants to learn more about TDD05:35
drew212idk, the CS track here is pretty rigorous, but i dont know because i haven't had any of the advanced courses05:35
maco...which would make me expect them to simply expect you to know it05:36
macodunno....thats how my profs are. they wont teach things in class that are "just play with it a bit and you'll get it" type stuff. they teach theory and then go make you implement it for practice05:37
macounfortunately means its possible to graduate without knowing much about linux, but when our acm chapter said this to a professor he said "how to use your computer" isnt academic enough to warrant being taught in a classroom05:38
drew212maco: yeah, i guess thats kindof what it is, but prof's here give us reference material if we actually are required to use tools to complete the MP05:38
drew212maco: all of our workstations in siebel center(CS "headquarters") are linux based05:38
drew212and linux is encouraged because most tutorials referenced are given from a linux standpoint05:39
maconobody's "required" to use a debugger though ;-) most get along just fine for years without learning (hi!)05:39
drew212maco: i want to be more efficient though =P05:39
drew212i'm tired of spending hours just because i misplaced a j with an i in one of my for loops =X05:39
macoyes, so learn it now! save yourself hours and hours of printf()05:40
drew212true story, i spend 3 hours debugging my logic because i misplaced an i =X, when my logic was spot on05:40
macoalso: and i say this from the voice of horribly painful experience, use version control on your homework05:40
drew212we're required to use subversion to submit our homework05:40
macocommit often then05:41
macoi started using bzr on my homework after that time i cp'd a blank file over a done file when i was making two similar .java files 15 minutes before it was due :(05:41
drew212maco: well noted, i lost 2 good hours of work once, but it was easy because i already knew what i was doing05:41
drew212s/easy/easier05:42
drew212maco: i have to make packman for this MP =X05:43
macopacman the game?05:43
drew212maco: yes... its not very graphical, its boxes running around, and alot of the game logic is missing, but yes05:43
drew212maco: all that has to happen is the ghosts randomly wander around and eat the pacman character, no walls, dots, points, or anything are in it yet...05:44
drew212its not too bad... just really long05:44
micahg!info pacman05:45
ubot2micahg: pacman (source: pacman): Chase Monsters in a Labyrinth. In component universe, is optional. Version 10-17ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 28 kB, installed size 160 kB05:45
nigelbthere is pacman in ubuntu?05:45
drew212micahg: it has to be formatted specificially so the autograder can read it... but yeah05:45
nigelbok, my work hours for today is lost with pacman :p05:45
drew212micahg: i thought 4.0 was supposed to be in 10.10, what happened to that?05:46
micahgnigelb: with >15k packages, wouldn't you expect it?05:46
micahgdrew212: who said that?05:46
nigelbmicahg: haha, good point05:46
drew212micahg: idk, maybe i just assumed it incorrectly05:46
nigelbthere's even a supermario clone, what was I thinking05:46
micahgdrew212: we decided at UDS we *weren't* going to put 4.0 in 10.1005:46
drew212micahg: why's that?05:47
micahgdrew212: timetable didn't line up05:47
drew212micahg: ahhh05:47
maconigelb: there's a super mario brothers clone too..05:47
micahgdrew212: 4.0 will land in natty probably shortly after UDS05:47
nigelbmaco: and who said there were no games on ubuntu :p05:47
drew212micahg: kk, nice =)05:47
nigelball those console video games of the old05:48
micahgdrew212: I already have a beta PPA05:48
persiamaco, Don't discount the power of a well-placed print statement, even with step-through debuggers, call tracers, etc. available.05:51
drew212micahg: there are alot of bugs that didn't provide a good stacktrace =X05:51
macopersia: well...mine were generally all over the place printing lots of vars trying to find where it goes wrong because i didnt know how to step through05:51
drew212micahg: that seems to be a bug in apport, no?05:52
micahgdrew212: probably, just make sure there's no private info anywhere in the attachments05:52
micahgdrew212: no05:52
persiaAh, yeah, that's less ideal.  For those cases, I usually add something to make it crash and check the stacktrace.05:52
drew212micahg: shouldn't apport know if its not getting any debugging symbols?05:53
micahgdrew212: huh?05:53
persiadrew212, The issue is architectural: so apport reports a bug that needs retracing, and it gets downloaded by a daemon that runs apport-retrace that installs all the right debugging packages, theoretically, but it's not guaranteed that versions haven't changed, etc.05:53
drew212micahg: if the correct information isn't being uploaded, shouldn't apport know that?05:53
persiaIt's better to end up with a partially retraced issue to aid in reproduction than nothing.05:54
micahgdrew212: no05:54
drew212micahg: why not?05:54
micahgdrew212: it only retraces if there's a coredump05:54
drew212micahg: so whats happening with these?05:55
micahgdrew212: which?05:55
drew212bug 55566605:55
ubot2Launchpad bug 555666 in firefox (Ubuntu) "firefox-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in start_thread() (affects: 7) (heat: 23)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55566605:55
drew212for example05:55
micahgdrew212: right, no coredump, also, that's a flash crash, we can't do anything about it, and flash crashing Firefox was fixed in 3.6.405:57
micahgdrew212: in addition, maverick users can now submit crashes directly to mozilla05:57
drew212micahg: so no more debugging firefox in LP?05:57
drew212well, once 10.04 hits EOL05:57
micahgdrew212: just crashes, still plenty of bugs ;)05:57
micahgdrew212: no, 10.04 will have it soon as well (might be in 3.6.1105:58
drew212nice05:58
micahgand the apport retracers probably aren't running for anything earlier05:58
drew212mark 555666 as fix released then?06:01
micahgdrew212: no, invalid like the other one06:02
drew212with what response? ask him to test in current development release?06:02
micahgnah, just the standard response for a Firefox crash that doesn't provide the results06:02
drew212micahg: alright, well im off to bed, i have to work tomorrow, peace06:05

persiaI'd suggest getting an Xorg.log for the initilisation strings.  Most of the 4500s are -intel, but the "Mobile" ones, especially with only "500" would end up -vesa because they are PSB.08:02
persiaI suspect it's a Q45, but that's guessing.08:03
danagebefore i file a bug, could someone try the following: install a printer, then change the driver that it selected by default later on? for me it doesn't work and that's :(10:17
persiadanage, Generally we file bugs and then confirm the behaviour, because so often someone who has the ability to reproduce isn't present at the time someone with a bug notices it.10:22
persiaGo ahead and file the bug.10:22
danagethanks persia10:22
danagepersia: what's the appropriate package to file this bug against10:56
danageit's really bad, i can't print with this system10:56
persiaNo idea offhand.  I'd probably use lsw (from suckless-tools) to try to determine which program was running for the selection window that had issues, and then dpkg -S to track down which package supplies it.10:58

xteejxHow do I become a mentor? (I'm snot sure if i'm good enough yet?)19:24
njinpedro_:i'm on lucid upgraded, i' some kind of instability, connection problem....19:25
devildantexteejx: only requirement is to be bug-control19:25
xteejxIs that all? Oh ok, I'm in my 2nd year for b-c so I must be doing something right (or just haven't been noticed LOL)19:26
pedro_njin, ouch...19:26
pedro_xteejx, yeah, you need to be on the bugcontrol team and apply to the mentorship team19:26
pedro_also, add yourself to the wiki list of mentors and that's all19:26
njinpedro_: if i open a terminal then press left arrow i've temprarily freeze19:26
pedro_from there on we can start to work on assigning students to you19:27
pedro_njin, !!19:27
xteejxOh ok, it's just a thought that's all, I *think* I'm at a stage now where I can triage pretty much anything, obviously I still check on unsure ones on here19:27
pedro_xteejx, if you're on the bugcontrol that's enough, really19:27
pedro_xteejx, yup, the channel is always open for questions ;-)19:28
xteejxOk, well I'll have a look at the wiki pages for Mentoring and see if there's any specifics I need to provide or know.19:30
xteejxpedro_: Oh, Pedro I almost forgot, the really long AR5007 connection issues metabug, is that fixed now I can't seem to find it at all and the laptop still has a problem19:31
xteejxI think it was one of yours :)19:31
pedro_xteejx, do you have the bug number ?19:31
xteejxI don't I can't find it lol19:31
pedro_I've too many bugs in my mind :-P19:32
xteejxlol ;)19:32
xteejxI'll see if I can find it19:32
xteejxpedro_: Found it... bug 461419 (Fixed it seems)19:34
ubot2Launchpad bug 461419 in linux (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "[Karmic Lucid Maverick] Atheros AR5211 - ath5k driver connection and performance issues (affects: 55) (dups: 6) (heat: 224)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/46141919:34
xteejxI'll be damned if anything even comes up in nm-applet :(19:34
pedro_aah! that bug with the atheros driver19:35
xteejxalthough iwconfig shows the wifi adapter so it might not be the kernel?19:35
xteejxpedro_: Yeah that one :( lol19:35
* xteejx has a really bad headache19:35
xteejxIf an access point is WEP and assigns IPs by DHCP, is there any way to get it to connect manually using iwconfig?19:36
xteejxpedro_: Oops, it was Leann dealing with it :)19:38
pedro_xteejx, iwconfig device  key blah ?19:38
pedro_xteejx, i was affected though, so thanks for ping me about it ;-)19:38
xteejxpedro_: That's cool :) Is that all it is to connect? That seems easy will try that in a bit (on desktop at the mo)19:39
pedro_xteejx, well you need to execute dhclient on the device as well19:39
pedro_dhclient dev19:39
devildanteah, the good old days of dhclient on arch linux :p19:39
pedro_but i guess that's all for wep keys19:39

micahgdoes anyone else have an issue with the gnome keyring not showing which app is requesting access?20:11
devildanteit shows it normally? :p20:11
xteejxmicahg: Haven't seen it to be honest?20:11
* devildante never noticed20:11
xteejxs/./?20:11
micahgdevildante: I see a bug that implies it does20:11
micahgdevildante: ah, known issue upstream, gnome 61680120:12
ubot2Gnome bug 616801 in ask dialog ""Enter password to unlock your login keyring" doesn't tell you why" [Normal,New] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61680120:12
xteejxIsn't that subject to security issues?20:13
micahgxteejx: I would think so :P20:13
xteejxMaybe not CVE but still :)20:13
devildantemicahg: it seems that it never did show the app20:14
micahgdevildante: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/SecurityPhilosophy20:15
devildantemicahg, what is the relation with this?20:21
micahgdevildante: oops, should've given that to xteejx, it's says it's not in their charter basically20:22
devildanteah20:22
xteejxmicahg: What isn't in their charter? Security?20:22
micahgxteejx: active attack security20:22
xteejxmicahg: You're kidding me? That's a bit of a reckless statement :O bloody hell I'm surprised at that20:23
micahgxteejx: well, I'm summarizing, please read the link for their official position20:23
xteejxmicahg: I will20:24
* xteejx is a bit worried now20:24
xteejxQuote: "While it'd be nice for gnome-keyring to someday be hardened against active attacks originating from the user's session, the reality is that the free software "desktop" today just isn't architected with those things in mind."20:25
xteejxThey do realise that they code for the linux desktop right?20:25
* xteejx is gonna hide now in case anyone gets offended by what I said :P (not intentionally bitchy or anything by the way) :)20:28
micahgxteejx: as usual, with open source, the people writing the code, make the rules20:33
xteejxmicahg: Unfortunately it seems like a very "M$" way of seeing security...."sod it" :(20:34
charlie-tcaheh20:34
micahgxteejx: except, you can go and offer patches to fix this ;)20:35
xteejxOoh charlie just woke up :D20:35
charlie-tcaThat seems like a creative argument for them20:35
xteejxmicahg: Oh god no, not me! The last coding I did was on the C64 haha ;)20:35
charlie-tcaI been following the nonsense in #ubuntu-irc instead20:35

charlie-tcahow bad the german channel is20:39

charlie-tcaI needed agood laugh today20:40
* micahg suspects it's not good to troll in an IRC admin channel20:40
xteejxmicahg: why the ohmy?20:40
micahgam I too sensitive?20:40
xteejxmicahg: No no, you're in the US aren't you? Over here that doesn't mean anything20:41
micahgthat second to last word, I would qualify as ohmy, maybe I'm too sensitive20:41
xteejxI forget it's international :)20:41

xteejxor meaning, i.e. fag (here is slang for cigarette, America totally different)20:43
micahgxteejx: that one you should be able to tell in context though20:43
xteejxcharlie-tca: You weren't wrong about that penguin guy!20:43
charlie-tcaheh20:43
hggdhmicahg: not really. But, OTOH, it is sometimes difficult to cater for different meanings, so it is, as a rule of thumb, better to be more conservative20:43
xteejxmicahg: True, but I've still seen raised eyebrows lol20:43
charlie-tcaI know. He did this in #ubuntu-classroom-chat the other day, too.20:44
hggdhI seems I missed all the hooplah...20:44
* hggdh goes to the IRC logs20:44
xteejxhggdh, it's definitely worth a laugh :)20:44
