htorquehello everyone! during an update i've found a couple of non-localized console messages and i need help finding the corresponding packages for some of them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516705/09:21
htorquealso, a status message in update-manager (there are probably more): http://img.xrmb2.net/images/882517.png - would this be the update-manager's fault?09:22
mvohtorque: is the apt output in the terminal in english as well?09:24
mvohtorque: that messages come from aptdaemon (and in turn from apt) but this smells like aptdaemon did not init a german environment09:24
mvofor apt09:24
htorquemvo, no, it's localized (german)09:24
mvoheh :) that is odd09:25
mvoand all strings there are english?09:25
mvoi mean, in the small status message label?09:25
htorquei captured that by accident, so i can't tell09:25
htorquemvo, yes they are all english except those between phases (i guess they are from update-manager)09:27
mvohtorque: thanks, I can reproduce this but for me all the dpkg messages in the terminal window are english as well09:29
mvohtorque: bug #64126209:34
ubot2Launchpad bug 641262 in aptdaemon (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Status strings during update do not show up translated (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 144)" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64126209:34
htorquemvo, ah, thanks! :-) do you also have an idea where those console messages ("Rebuilding ...", "Running ...", "Examing ...", "... deferred processing now taking place") come from?09:36
mvohtorque: its all the same issue, the environment in that apt is run is not set to the locale09:36
mvoso everything started in there (dpkg, maintainer scripts) will be english09:37
htorquebut if i do a "apt-get upgrade" most of the output is translated?09:37
mvohtorque: yes, because that runs in a environment (your terminal) with the locale (LANGUAGE, LANG environment) set to the right values. aptdaemon runs outside of your user session, this is the problem09:38
mvohtorque: I have a idea for a fix, looking at it now09:38
htorqueah, i see09:38
mvohtorque: I pushed a fix to lp:~mvo/aptdaemon/0.3-dpkg-i18n09:58
htorquemvo, thanks! will give it a try, do i need to reboot to test?09:59
mvohtorque: you wil l have to restart aptdaemon10:02
mvohtorque: a reboot is fine as well (the savest way :)10:02
* htorque reboots then ;-)10:04
htorquemvo, there was still a message "Downloading ..." but the rest was translated :-)10:09
mvohtorque: yeah, I just fixed that too ;)10:13
htorquemvo, no change in the console though: still getting mixed output containing Examing.../Running.../Not updating...10:13
mvohtorque: some messages from maintainer scripts are not translatable  - but the dpkg stuff (unpacking) should be, no?10:13
htorquemvo, yes that stuff is translated except for a "Done." after the end of the "Preparing to replace ..." phase10:17
mvohtorque: thanks, I just played with it some more and it seems like its mostly there now I will ask sebstian to review the branch and if he is fine with it I upload to maverick-proposed10:24
htorquemvo, thanks! do you think reports and/or patches on those untranslatable strings in scripts are welcome? admittedly, most desktop users should never come across this "mixed" output, but it's not nice to look at.10:27
mvohtorque: its woth investigating10:28

kenvandinebut... regardless there is something wrong... the numbers are way too skewed14:45
bilalakhtarOn their dev home page, they say 'We use open-source software and support it'14:45
bilalakhtarthen why don't they support Ubuntu and Gwibber?14:45
kenvandineyeah... they do use it :)14:45
kenvandineto be fair i think they contribute a ton to some of the server stuff they use14:45
kenvandineand i think they pretty much ignore all developers equally :)14:46

ehcahwhy is that running: "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart "  releases and renews ip's for eth0 and eth1 on my servers.  But on my laptop, it does nothing?15:27
ehcahIs there a different command to release and renew ip's for a desktop OS?  I also notice that there is nothing configured under the interfaces file, as you would on a server?15:27
cyphermoxehcah, if you're using network-manager (and don't have stuff in /etc/network/interfaces) you most likely want to click on nm-applet and your connection again... that said, you should ask follow up questions on #ubuntu15:30
ehcahcyphermox:  Did I take Ubuntu-Desktop out of context?  My appologies.15:31
cyphermoxehcah, the purpose of this channel is developement, that's all. #ubuntu is where you want to go for help and support15:32

Shred00didrocks: i think the evolution package is missing a Build-Depends20:50
Shred00didrocks: or it might just be a simple as not telling configure --enable-gtk-doc:20:54
Shred00checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... no20:54
Shred00cp: cannot stat `./debian/tmp/usr/share/gtk-doc': No such file or directory20:54
didrocksShred00: hum? the last upload built well https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/2.30.3-1ubuntu720:54
didrocksShred00: you didn't answer me last time about if it worked btw20:54
Shred00didrocks: yeah.  i'd be surprised if it didn't.  just reporting what i got here.20:54
didrocksand didn't get the patch btw :)20:54
Shred00didrocks: yes.  i don't have time every day to work on this stuff.  i typically only get time a couple of times a week.20:55
didrocksShred00: right, but I think the issue is related to your patch. You should touch something which requires rebuilding the documentation, which we don't do generally20:56
Shred00didrocks: fwiw, i filed a bug in LP and pointed to a bz bug with the patch and it got assessed in LP as some sort of low importance iirc.20:56
didrocksShred00: can you point me to the bug report, please?20:56
didrocksShred00: pinging on IRC is easier, and as you ping me, you can just point me to integrate it :)20:57
Shred00didrocks: it's got nothing to do with touching the documentation.  configure clearly said it was not going to build the documentation:20:57
Shred00checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... no20:57
didrocksShred00: well, it's again difficult without the branch, just point me to your branch… but gtk-doc is for building the documentation20:57
Shred00  --enable-gtk-doc        use gtk-doc to build documentation [[default=no]]20:58
Shred00you see, it defaults to not building unless you specify the flag20:58
didrocksI know20:58
didrocksbut it seems you are doing something which triggers that20:58
didrocksso, please point to the branch so that I can check20:58
Shred00triggers what?  not building the documentation?20:58
didrocksShred00: trying to build it20:59
Shred00what do you mean point you a branch?  fwiw, i don't know how to use bzr beyond what i learned to get a copy of your work.  tbh i really don't have the time to learn to use yet another SCM that i would use very rarely.  not sure what's wrong with git given that more people know how to use it as it has much wider use than bzr.21:00
didrocksShred00: please, try to be constructive. Just point me to the patch then, so that I can apply it21:01
didrocksand see why it triggers the doc build21:01
Shred00didrocks: my patch has nothing to do with the doc build.  the doc build is required because debian/evolution-dev.install has debian/tmp/usr/share/gtk-doc in it.21:02
Shred00my patch is for e-d-s, not evolution.21:03
didrocksShred00: well, I don't see why you are so resistant to show me your patch. If I can't test, I can't help you I'm afraid21:04
didrocksthe only thing I can say is that "it doesn't fail here"21:04
didrocksso if you don't give me something to test, I can't21:05
didrocksdebian/evolution-dev.install has debian/tmp/usr/share/gtk-doc to copy it, not building it21:05
Shred00didrocks: right.  and how is it going to get put into debian/tmp if the evolution build does not build it?21:05
didrocksShred00: it doesn't… I can't continue to loose my time speaking about something I can't test there if you don't show me what's wrong (ie the code)21:06
Shred00didrocks: my patch is from bz 63152621:06
seb128Shred00, because upstream ships html built in their tarball21:07
seb128Shred00, so usually we don't rebuild those but just use what upstream has21:07
Shred00seb128: ahhh.  ok.  so looking in the evolution_2.30.3.orig.tar.gz the only matches i see for "gtk-doc" are:21:09
Shred00evolution-2.30.3/m4/gtk-doc.m421:09
Shred00evolution-2.30.3/gtk-doc.make21:09
seb128get the source from ubuntu and build it using dpkg-buildpackage21:09
seb128it builds fine on buildds so the build-depends are correct21:10
