grantbowwhile installing on 10.04 I got the following:04:11
grantbowErrors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sugar-0.88_0.88.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)04:12
timClicksgrantbow, how did you install it?04:20
grantbowtimClicks: I followed the 10.04 instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar/04:24
timClickssorry to hear things went badly for you04:24
grantbowif I can debug it far enough I'm happy to file a good bug out of the experience04:25
grantbowoops, because for 10.04 it's still a ppa the automatic bug reporting didn't complete successfully04:26
grantbowa box popped up but it failed after two click-throughs04:27
timClickshrm04:27
timClicksgrantbow, what happens when you do "sudo dpkg -i   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sugar-0.88_0.88.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb"04:39
timClicksactually, a better command would be04:42
timClickssudo dpkg  --debug=3773 -i  /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sugar-0.88_0.88.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb04:42
timClicksthere is a quite good tutorial here04:45
timClickshttp://shearer.org/Debugging_Dpkg_Problems04:45
* grantbow triest the dpkg command04:46
grantbowhmm, quite a bit of output, looking for a pastebin04:47
grantbowok, I ran that with 2>&1 on the end and I got http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/520539/04:51
grantbowtimClicks: I'll look at the tutorial now too, thanks for the link04:51
grantbowtimClicks: I tried to do an apt-get install asoundconf-gtk for an unrelated problem05:00
timClickswas that having trouble as well?05:01
grantbowI got the following: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/520541/05:01
timClicksi recommend asking in #ubuntu05:01
grantbowI have nowhere near the time to do that.  I'm at UDS trying to catch up on things before tomorrow and still get some sleep.05:02
grantbowI don't think these issues are unrelated to the sugar packages from what I see so far05:02
nUboon2Agesometimes apt-get is ineffective in resolving dependencies, where Synaptic does better (or Aptitude) grantbow05:02
Quozli've never had anything do better than apt-get for resolving dependencies.05:03
grantbowmaybe, but the real issue is a failed install script in python-sugar per http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/520539/05:03
nUboon2Agewell your mileage may vary, but i'm not the first to say that Quozl05:04
grantbownUboon2Age: you came in late and missed the first part of this discussion unfortunately05:04
nUboon2Ageso sorry grantbow05:04
nUboon2Ageso does the install script essentially break the apt cache stuff grantbow?05:05
grantbowevery package includes install scripts, and when they break the system can be in an indeterminate state05:07
grantbowas I think is part of the problem here along maybe with some dependencies that may be related to my older attempt to install packages similar to these on this machine05:08
grantbowlooking at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/520541/ I think the problems are related to the current packages and current failed install script as described by the output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/520539/05:09
grantbowI wish these packages were rock solid - I need them.05:20

* grantbow goes to bed, ttyl I hope07:14
satellit_grantbow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Ubuntu12:21
satellit_http://download.sugarlabs.org/usr/USR-i386-20101007.iso latest (Just have to add surf-115 to complete it)12:23
grantbowsatellit_: I'll try that later after I fix my machine one way or another as the package install script broke and now my machine can't install packages until I get something resolved with it.14:10
grantbowI will probably uninstall I guess14:11
satellit_Try USR  (use USB startup disk creator to make a USB installer)14:12
grantbowsatellit_: I will do that after I fix my broken system then download USR14:13
satellit_ok good luck......14:13
grantbowI just got the zsync files from http://download.sugarlabs.org/usr/14:13
satellit_you can run as non-install also14:15
satellit_from USB14:15
grantbowafter I fix the broken package script14:15
satellit_:  )14:15
grantbowbreaking people's systems with bad packages is very very bad14:15
satellit_http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo  is good browser to use with USR then can load terminal etc,,,,14:17
satellit_drag drop from 2nd USB14:17
grantbowquite frustrating this discussion14:17
grantbowthe package is broken14:17
grantbowit needs to get fixed14:17
grantbowif you can help great14:17
grantbowanything else than my broken system right now is not very helpful as once I uninstall I won't be able to help debug this serious problem of breaking machines with the existing sugar packages offered for use in the PPA14:18
grantbowI would rather work with someone who cares to fix this than ignore it as it's a serious bug that disables at least my machine and probably others14:20
satellit_USR is 10.10 so no need for ppa  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sugar-remix from Universe14:21
anubhav_alsroot: hi14:22
alsrootanubhav_: hi14:22
anubhav_alsroot:  could you provide some pointers on Multiple numbers appended to make filenames unique on removable devices.(#2453)14:22
grantbowsatellit_: you are missing the point14:23
satellit_OK I am not a ubuntu guru....... I am sugesting a fresh install....Obviously you are not14:24
anubhav_alsroot: according to my understanding i have to get the metadata of each item in listview and check there titles and chnge them accordingly14:24
alsrootanubhav_: see model.py in journal sources, it should take care of creating new files14:24
grantbowthe sugar packages broke my system - if I uninstall I can't help fix it14:25
grantbowand my effort is wasted and other people's machines are going to break14:25
grantbowdid you see the output of the two pastebins last night?14:25
satellit_grantbow: I cannot help you on this....sorry14:26
anubhav_alsroot: we have check the titles of other icons while writing here w can change but how could we get the titles on already existing icons ?14:29
grantbowsatellit_: Understood, just stop offering alternatives as if you are ignoring the real problem.  I'm not only interested but willing and able to help try to help get things fixed for myself and anyone else that tries the packages on Ubuntu. I can look at the script later when I have more time.14:30
alsrootanubhav_: in my mind changing filenames of already existed files is overkill14:30
anubhav_alsroot: ok.. my question was how can we get the previous title not for changing but for comparing so that we can name the existing bundle accordingly14:32
alsrootanubhav_: if there is not chances to get it from code, it is impossible - datastore doesn't provide history of matadata changing14:34
anubhav_alsroot: ok thank you...14:37

lfaraonegrantbow: did you file a bug about tht?16:56
grantbowhi luke!16:56
grantbownot yet16:56
lfaraonegrantbow: the issue is that you have sugar-base installed from the PPA, at least from my inspection of your logs.16:57
grantboware the pastbins enough for an actionable bug? I'd like to narrow it down first16:57
* lfaraone doens't like the PPA, personally.16:57
grantbowthanks for looking!16:57
lfaraonegrantbow: line 122 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/520539/ appears to be the actual error.16:57
grantbowI'm about to step into a session at uds.ubuntu.com on desktop testing16:58
* grantbow looks16:58
grantbowthe ppa is the only way to install on 10.04 right?16:59
lfaraonegrantbow: no.16:59
grantbowoh, interesting16:59
lfaraonegrantbow: I think you can install Sugar in 10.04, but it just doesn't have activities.16:59
grantbowI did install via the ppa.  If there's another way https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar needs an update17:00
lfaraoneAs a group, I don't think we intend to support 10.04. 10.10 was the first release there was a concerted effort to make it Not Suck.17:00
grantbowbut MY laptop is 10.04 right now, lol17:00
grantbowI hear you17:01
lfaraoneIn all honesty, I don't think we should advise *anybody* to use the PPA, there's no quality assurance before packages are uploaded.17:01
grantbowthat wiki page should be updated then17:01
satellit_grantbow alsroot used to maintain a ppa for ubuntu. not sure if it still exists17:04
alsrootsatellit_: the last ppa was for karmic, for recent ubuntu versions - official packages and bazaar packages (it contain eg pyxpcom)17:06
lfaraoneWe really should do some quality assurance *before* suggesting these things to users.17:06
satellit_alsroot: thanks17:06
grantbowlfarone: yes17:11
satellit_grantbow: lfaraone: also see wiki http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Ubuntu#Sugar_on_Ubuntu_10.04_.28lucid.29  these should be checked It has been 6 months since I tried this (worked then)17:14
* lfaraone just posted to the ML about proposed QA for the PPA17:17
satellit_grantbow: does software sources show ppa?17:18
grantbowthank you for the link and ML item17:19
grantbowsatellit_: I always use a command line and manually check /etc/apt/sources.list.d17:19
satellit_sudo apt-get remove `dpkg-query -W -f '${package} ${maintainer}\n' | grep alsroot | awk '{print $1}'`17:19
satellit_sudo sed -i '/alsroot.sugar-0.86/d' /etc/apt/sources.list17:19
satellit_ to remove it?17:19
grantbowinteresting, I'll try that later today17:20
satellit_that is from wiki instructions for older ubuntu....just an idea17:20
alsrootsatellit_: yup, but it was an issue only if older ppa was used before17:20
grantbowI don't think I have an older ppa now17:21
satellit_I have 10.10 (USR 902 running now on external USB Drive) works well.. per instructions on wiki's I so sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade to maintain latest activities17:25
satellit_s/do17:28
satellit_lfaraone: any way to restore the ppa to an older working version? (I saw your note in lists about it)17:38
satellit_grantbow: Virtualbox? http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files#VirtualBox   Appliance of UbuntuSugarRemix17:51
grantbowVirtualbox performance of SoaS sucks. I'm having to repartition a few machines when I get back to california17:53
satellit_grantbow: depends on laptop  works great on hp AMD 64x2 laptop17:54
USRMaverick-48f0grantbow: here is Maverick 10.10 USR with sugar as sugar-emulator -f18:09
thangam_arundfarning, Hii19:03
manusheelthangam_arun: Hi Arun.19:04
dfarningthangam_arun, he19:04
dfarningthangam_arun, ^Hi19:04
thangam_arunmanusheel, Hii19:05
dfarningthangam_arun, id you have a good trip?19:05
thangam_arundfarning, Yes19:05
thangam_arundfarning, gud experience19:05
thangam_arundfarning, i have one question19:06
thangam_arunI am trying to run ./usr-scratch.sh19:06
thangam_arunit throws cp: cannot stat `build/i386-fs/boot/initrd.img*': No such file or directory19:07
thangam_arundfarning, i need to have the rootfs structure in ./usr directory ??19:09
dfarningthangam_arun, one minute I'll log in th the build machine19:10
thangam_arundfarning, okay19:11
dfarningthangam_arun,  did you run it as 'sudo ./usr-scratch.sh all i386'?19:13
thangam_arunno19:14
thangam_arun./usr-scratch.sh iso i38619:14
dfarningthangam_arun, it must be run as root because of the file squashing stuff19:14
thangam_arundfarning, fine19:15
dfarningthangam_arun, I think you are on the sudo list.19:15
thangam_arundfarning, now its working19:15
thangam_arundfarning, Thanks a lot19:15
dfarningthangam_arun, thanks for working on this!  Have you met grantbow? He is at the ubuntu developer summit this week.19:16
thangam_arundfarning, No19:17
grantbowthangam_arun: are you at UDS too?19:17
thangam_arundfarning, i did not know him19:17
thangam_arungrantbow, no no19:17
grantbowok19:18
dfarninggrantbow, thangam_arun is working on the build system so we can make USR - ISOs19:18
grantbowexcellent!19:18
dfarninghttp://download.sugarlabs.org/usr/19:18
dfarninggrantbow, it is a slightly modified version of Ubuntu Netbook remix with Sugar as a GUI.19:19
dfarningthangam_arun,  i use the following incantation to run a build+upload19:21
dfarningsudo ./usr-scratch.sh all i386 && sudo ./usr-scratch.sh all amd64 && rsync -aP output/* sunjammer:/upload/usr19:21
thangam_arundfarning, okay19:22
thangam_arundfarning, I just started usr build for both i386 and amd6419:22
dfarningthangam_arun, nice.19:23
satellit_I will test when it gets uploaded to /usr....19:24
thangam_arunsatellit_, Thanks for your support.19:24
satellit_yw thanks for all of yours19:24
dfarningthangam_arun,  A nice task to get familiar with the build script might be to abstact is slightly so that we can make both 10.10 and 11.04.19:25
dfarningthangam_arun, would be pretty straight forward.  just changing a couple of constants to variables.  the chroot command handles all of the hard stuff:)19:27
thangam_arundfarning, what are all the chnages need to be done ?19:27
dfarningthangam_arun, add another case in function_uasge()19:29
thangam_arundfarning, okay19:29
dfarningthangam_arun, change the hardcoded maverick in line 78 of do_debboot strap19:30
dfarningthangam_arun, a couple of minor things like that.19:30
thangam_arundfarning, okay19:31
dfarningthangam_arun, to be complete we will also want to split up the template dir into 10.10 an 11.04 templates.19:32
thangam_arundfarning, okay. Right now i am just modifying the script19:34
dfarningthangam_arun, cool.19:40
thangam_arundfarning, we need to have to usr-10.10 and usr-11.04 directories ??20:02
thangam_arundfarning, how are we going to organise the build for 10.10 & 11.04 ??20:03
dfarningthangam_arun, hmmm. not sure. What do you think is best?20:04
thangam_arunwe will have two directories like "usr-04" "usr-10" build scripts for the same. Otherwise we will be able to build only one codename at a time not both(10.10 &11.04)20:07
thangam_arundfarning, between, i am getting "Failed to read file build/i386-fs/proc/acpi/info, creating empty file" --> is it wrong or just an information ??20:09
dfarningthangam_arun, +120:09
dfarningthangam_arun, I have not noticed that error before.20:10
thangam_arundfarning, i am getting more like so20:22
thangam_arun dfarning, the iso creation process will take more time ??20:49
