abhinav-dch -i always puts "low" as the value of urgency field in the changelog. what if the bug was triaged as "wishlist" on launchpad ?07:30
micahgabhinav-: we don't really bother with urgency in Ubuntu07:31
micahgabhinav-: here's an explanation of valid values and what Launchpad does with it though: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/BuildScores07:32
abhinav-micahg, ok thanks. also, I am working on tomcat6-user package. do I need to use submittodebian as well ?07:33

ograthat works fine as long as oem-config is actually installed13:34
ograbut indeed once i uninstall it the condition of "stopped oem-config..." can never be fulfilled13:34
ograhow does one handle app deps in upstart jobs for apps that er being uninstalled13:35
ogra*are13:35
cjwatsonrearrange - perhaps, for instance, you can have oem-config-debconf be 'start on starting your-serial-getty-job'13:38
cjwatson(presumably as one of a set of or-ed conditions)13:38
cjwatsonwill need some care of course13:38
cjwatsonthat's just one possibility, intended to illustrate that you can do things other ways.  it may not work as stated13:38
ograwell, i tried to replace the and with or but i end up with both runningy on the serial tty indeed13:39

cjwatsonthere's nothing necessarily wrong with fiddling with that if it's the right way to achieve your goal13:40

oubiwanncjwatson: we've got someone in the community who has proposed a patch for utouch that adds support for building rpms... the patch seems fairly intrusive, and I wanted to get your take on things13:41
oubiwanncjwatson: in particular, what sort of accommodations are generally made for rpm support?13:41
cjwatsonoubiwann: what sort of accommodations are they asking for?  I assume it's more than just a spec file13:41

ubottuUbuntu bug 732829 in utouch-geis "No rpm spec support." [Wishlist,Triaged]13:42
cndcjwatson, I'm guessing the patch is a little malformed, it shouldn't be removing m4/libtool.m413:43
cndand his other spec file proposals for other packages don't remove any files13:43
cjwatsonwell, firstly, it's not desperately unusual for people to add spec files to projects; IMO it's up to the project whether they want to accept the burden of maintaining that kind of thing13:43
cjwatsonI suspect that he ran autoreconf on a system without libtool installed, or something13:43
cjwatsonthose file removals seem extraneous13:43
cndcjwatson, I suppose we're looking for best practices guidance, if you feel comfortable giving any here13:44
cndwe're not rpm gurus :)13:45
oubiwanncnd: well, I think he just did, more or less13:45
cjwatsonI don't really have any :)13:45
oubiwann"it's not desperately unusual for people to add spec files to projects; IMO it's up to the project whether they want to accept the burden of maintaining that kind of thin"13:45
cjwatsonjust an opinion based on what I've seen; there isn't much consistency13:45
oubiwanncjwatson: thanks, man -- that's exactly the sort of thing we were looking for :-)13:45
cjwatsonI do feel that people who are expecting to follow a model of finding spec files in every project are probably onto a hiding to nothing, given how many projects don't ship them13:46
cjwatsonbut that's their problem I suppose13:46
cjwatsonI think if I were you I would look for an ongoing commitment to maintaining the spec file, rather than just a patch13:46
cjwatsonunless you're happy to test it on new versions13:46
oubiwanncjwatson: right, that makes sense13:47

soreauTrying to use a live persistent usb but every single package I install tries to setup the kernel, update initrd etc but fails and takes a long time doing it. Is there a way to tell it to forget about kernel upgrades altogether?19:20
beunosoreau, I guess you could pin the kernel package?19:21
soreaubeuno: Not sure, how can I do that?19:22
beunosoreau, this is probably not the right channel to get ubuntu support  ;)   google apt pinning19:24
soreauOk thanks for the hint19:24
brodersoreau: you could just install directly onto the usb drive instead of using the persistent live usb stuff19:30
soreaubroder: I tried to do that but the live cd did not show the usb node as an option in gparted19:32
soreauActually, I'd like to install it though because the usb stick is 8GB19:32
soreauand I'd like to be able to upgrade the kernel etc19:32

wright_hi.. i just found serious bug in ubuntu22:35
wright_is this the right place to report it?22:36
broderwright_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs22:38
wright_thanks.. but this one is so serious that it need instant repair.. if i report there, it might be weeks that they even read it22:40
broderwright_: Always start by filing a bug in Launchpad22:41
slangasekwright_: you can tell us here what it is, but the bug report should still be filed in launchpad22:41
wright_i found a bug what allows user to view hard drive files with sudo and this all can be done in startup22:43
wright_before you even need to give your user name and password22:44
wright_ok.. i will do that22:44
wright_sorry my bad engilsh22:45
wright_*english22:45
slangasekbased on that limited description I suspect you've encountered intended behavior rather than a bug, but when you have the bug report opened please point us to it22:48
wright_ok22:49
wright_probably becouse of my bad english i found only "Report and amend bugs using the email interface". Is this the right place. Hope not becouse i dont understand anything how to report it right.23:10
Ampelbeinwright_: type 'ubuntu-bug' in a terminal23:11
Ampelbeinwright_: it should guide you through some questions to report an issue23:11
wright_ok23:11
wright_damn.. when i press other problem it gives me.. i try to translate this.. you must give package or PID id23:14
wright_..feeling so stupid23:16
wright_can i write it here.. that someone can report it, couse i dont know how23:18
slangasekwright_: ok, go ahead and tell us about the bug23:19
wright_ok23:19
slangasekas I said, I suspect it's not a bug at all, in which case there's no need for us to torture you with the bug filing interface :)23:19
wright_i had a mount problem with my external hard drive (it did not mount right) so i add it to /etc/fstab. I unplugged the external hard drive and start computer, Ubuntu loads and give me an mount error. Press "S" to skip or "M" to mount manually. When i press "M", i get in command promt with sudo and i can do anything. And all this was before i even need to set username and password.23:28
slangasekwright_: the package to file this against is 'mountall'; I'm trying to reason through if this is actually a bug or expected23:29
slangasekbecause the behavior is somewhat configurable23:30
broderslangasek: i'm digging through the code to see what it's doing currently, but should it possibly be dropping into runlevel S?23:31
wright_ok. thanks23:31
wright_:)23:31
slangasekwright_: so when you tell mountall 'M', it triggers /etc/init/mountall-shell.conf which calls /sbin/sulogin.  sulogin has configurable behavior; if the root user has no password, it can't *prompt* for a root password and drops you directly to a shell23:32
slangasekthis is documented in the sulogin(8) manpage23:32
slangasekif you want to require password authentication, your root account must have a password set23:32
wright_no.. i have root pass23:32
slangasekso when you type 'su', you can enter a password and it works?23:33
wright_do you mean type su in this "bug" or normally in command promt?23:34
slangasekin a command prompt23:34
wright_yes23:34
slangasekok23:34
slangasekwright_: if you run 'sudo sulogin', do you get a "Give root password for maintenance" prompt?23:35
wright_yes i do23:36
slangasekbroder: well, it's not supposed to be dropping into runlevel S23:36
slangasekwright_: ok, please file a bug against mountall with 'ubuntu-bug mountall'.23:36
slangasekand when it asks for information, include this information about the behavior of su and sulogin on your system23:36
wright_ok.. i do that23:37
