[09:58] i have tried most channels especially #ubuntu but nobody seems to be responding. [09:58] please advise [10:01] kennetham: there is no standard environment variable for socks proxies like http_proxy. You can use something like tsocks. [11:14] micahg, the new "GREMaxVer" and "GREMinVer" in xulrunner-2.0-dev pacakge are broken. There is a "stray" "-e" which prevents queriying GREMinVer [11:14] that's in libxul-embedding.pc [11:52] hi all, is there a channelf for jokosher development? === axp2_ is now known as axp2 [12:12] has anyone reported that avahi hostname resolution is not working at all (in or out) for natty machines [12:20] Hello [12:20] can anyone tell me why I'm banned from ubuntu [12:21] I didn't do anything [12:21] this is not an escalation channel for problems in #ubuntu [12:21] try (I think) #ubuntu-ops [12:21] thanks [12:24] now if only people not doing anything was a valid excuse to ban them from ubuntu-devel ;-) === zyga is now known as zyga-coffee === zyga-coffee is now known as zyga [13:01] cyphermox: heh, I was going to upload a -proposed evolution to maverick to fix this: bug 611983 [13:01] Launchpad bug 611983 in evolution (Ubuntu Maverick) "Evolution [Open Link In Browser] not working for new eBay email hyperlinks" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/611983 [13:01] cyphermox: but, I was too late apparently :) [13:02] cyphermox: are you preparing something for lucid also? [13:09] mdeslaur, I don't remember uploading a fix for that? [13:12] cyphermox: no, you didn't...I just meant you know have an update in -proposed, so I can't upload it :) [13:12] s/know/now/ [13:12] ah [13:13] cyphermox: I would like to upload that fix to lucid though, and want to know if you are working on evo packages for lucid [13:13] mdeslaur, nope, you can go ahead [13:13] cyphermox: cool, thanks [13:14] hmm...now I need to figure out the procedure with the package that's already in lucid-proposed :P [13:15] oops ;) [13:17] slangasek: so, there's an evolution package in lucid-proposed that doesn't fix an issue. I put a NACK in the -proposed bug (229187). I now have an unrelated fix I would like to upload to -proposed. What is the procedure? Can I just upload over it, or do I need the sru team's blessing, or what? === fenris is now known as Guest44826 === Guest44826 is now known as ejat [14:12] OMG! [14:12] How did I not know about dprintf() ? === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan === donny is now known as hdon === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [15:16] hi [15:16] is there a known problem with the installer from the 18th daily ? [15:17] what's dprintf? [15:19] * sladen suspects an application-specific debug-print-formatted [15:19] hyperair: printf to a file descriptor [15:19] ie. fprintf but to an int [15:19] Keybuk: ooh. that is awesome. [15:19] Keybuk: not fdprintf? [15:19] Keybuk: i know of fdopen though (which can then be used with fprintf) [15:21] well, kinda [15:21] fdopen creates a FILE * for a socket/file descriptor [15:21] which means that it's buffered [15:21] so fprintf may not be written or completely writtten [15:23] ah i see. === JanC_ is now known as JanC === diwic is now known as diwic_afk [16:04] soren: I had thought that 'bzr co lp:vmbuilder' gave me trunk, but i see it does not. Is it safe to assume that all changes in lp:vmbuilder should be made to trunk (also, or probably first)? === beuno is now known as beuno-lunch [16:23] cjwatson: Hey; for flash-kernel I made sure we could still backport it to older Ubuntu releases which use uboot-mkimage instead of u-boot, but do we care about backports of debian-installer? (uboot-mkimage is a build-dep) I would think not [16:24] Sorry, I should probably ask on #ubuntu-installer [16:25] joaopinto: would you care to be specific? [16:25] lool: I don't care [16:28] cjwatson: Thanks; pushed to bzr then === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] [16:45] cjwatson, the installer fails with an "unexpected installer problem" [16:46] joaopinto: logs? [16:46] also, which CD? [16:46] jcastro was able to reproduce it using testdrive [16:46] 18th Dec [16:46] "daily" is insufficient, we produce quite a few CDs daily! [16:46] desktop, alternate, server, ...? Ubuntu, Kubuntu, ...? i386, amd64, ...? [16:46] I have looked into /var/log/installer, couldn't find anything useful [16:46] desktop i386 [16:47] couldn't find anything you understood, you mean? :-) [16:47] surely syslog at least is there [16:47] nothing "abnormal" [16:47] I can only investigate if you let me look at the logs directly [16:47] I just checked the installer logs, not the regular logs, since it was the installer reporting the error [16:47] actually, on the desktop CD /var/log/syslog is the main useful one [16:48] ok, I am traverling now, later I will reinstall and tar /var/log [16:48] since we aren't close to a milestone right now, though, it's not too surprising for a daily build to be busted, TBH [16:49] but I'll rsync and see if I can reproduce it here [16:49] ok, thanks [16:49] * highvoltage installed the edubuntu desktop daily image this morning and it was just fine though [16:49] joaopinto: BTW, Ubuntu desktop i386, or something else? you just said "desktop i386" [16:49] ubuntu desktop === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away [16:49] could've been a temporary problem [16:49] I didn't do any test installations on Saturday [16:49] I have retried 2 times [16:50] temporary here means "specific to that build" not "if you try again it will go away" [16:51] right, i'll see if I can, recreate the iso from the usb, update, and refresh the usb [16:51] bbl [16:51] is just that i feel that will be just as random as assuming it was a temporary failure :P [16:55] mdeslaur: just upload over it [16:56] slangasek: thanks [16:56] *now* he says it was an installation from USB [16:57] I DO wish people would give detail up-front [16:57] 2010-12-20 amd64 desktop works in testdrive === beuno-lunch is now known as beuno [17:43] I forgot my usb pen, I will not be able to retest the installer crash today :( [17:43] jcastro said "2010-12-20 amd64 desktop works in testdrive" [17:45] I did a install today desktop amd64 and that worked, I used grub loop to boot into it from the hdd directly though, so its probably not very representative [17:45] ah ok, I will need to update the image [17:47] could of course be USB-specific [17:50] there was another issue, the installer launched a new unity session to allow to diagnose the problem [17:50] but the menu does not work on that new session === deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck [17:54] please file these as bugs rather than mentioning them on IRC - I don't know about anyone else but I have one work day left for the year and have a hard time fitting in the stuff I already know about :-) [17:56] ok, will do [18:16] micahg: Would you mind looking at the packagekit FTBFS. It fails on some mozilla related file being missing and I was wondering if you understood what was up with that. === Lutin is now known as Guest43017 [18:56] ScottK: I'd be happy to take a look later tongith [18:56] micahg: Thanks. [18:57] cjwatson: hey there, I need to add the edubuntu-text theme to the plymouth package [18:57] cjwatson: is the right way to do it by getting the bzr branch, adding the theme to the (quite big) quilt diff and then proposing the merge again in launchpad? [18:58] yeah [18:58] ok [18:58] use the various quilt commands and then quilt refresh at the end === yofel_ is now known as yofel === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [19:32] anyone know why autocomplete doesn't work with Make? [19:32] bash tab-completion i mean === ximion1 is now known as ximion === ximion is now known as ximion1 === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [21:35] hi [21:36] people how can I download/checkout ubuntu-installer and build own root CD? [21:37] root=boot === ximion1 is now known as ximion [22:10] Vardan: you could try live-builder [22:11] err [22:11] I don't know how to find that though.. hmm [22:11] Vardan: I mean, live-helper [23:21] at little OT for here: but does someone know if it's on purpose that the wiki looks different if one is logged in or not? [23:21] geser: You can change it by going into your preferences [23:21] oh [23:21] They created a new theme and made it the default theme, but that didn't change the theme for any users already in the database
