[00:04] <Stryker> is the alpha release able to support nvidia cards yet without xorg crashing?
[00:09] <srk9> penguin42: I meant to file a separate bug report so that the Ubuntu SDL maintainer sees it. It turns out that I do have a launchpad account from several years back, so I will file one for that.
[00:09] <penguin42> srk9: Don't need to, that bug is against libsdl now
[00:09] <penguin42> (as well as wesnoth) - I guess I could update the title
[00:10] <srk9> Ah, cool.
[00:13] <penguin42> srk9: I tried and built an sdl with that fix in, wesnoth now does scroll right - not that I've got a clue about the game, but hey
[00:15] <srk9> penguin42: Neat. I am going to post some more information in the bug report.
[00:15] <penguin42> please do - and thanks for the pointer
[00:18] <srk9> penguin42: Any time. I only wish there was an easier way to promulgate knowledge about bugs between distributions.
[00:18] <srk9> I posted more information about this to the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wesnoth-1.8/+bug/725044
[00:18] <penguin42> srk9: Launchpad can link to bug reports in other distros
[00:19] <srk9> penguin42: Really?
[00:19] <penguin42> srk9: Yeh - have you got a gentoo bug for it?
[00:19] <srk9> How?
[00:19] <srk9> Yes. I forgot to include the link.
[00:19] <penguin42> what's the URL?
[00:19] <srk9> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357687

[00:19] <SpamapS> I just love checking out samba... :-P
[00:20] <srk9> There is also a separate bug for Wesnoth specifically: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354175
[00:20] <srk9> Ah, I see.
[00:21] <penguin42> srk9: See, I added an also affects distribution
[00:23] <srk9> Nice.
[00:23] <penguin42> hey - how did it pick up the link to teh sdl one?
[00:24] <srk9> ?
[00:24] <penguin42> it somehow picked up a link to the sdl bugzilla, not quite sure how lp did that
[00:25] <srk9> You posted one in a comment.
[00:25] <srk9> It must have parsed the comment and detected it.
[00:26]  * penguin42 didn't think it was that smart!
[00:26] <srk9> I added an "Also affects Fedora", although the bug report I cited is not a fedora bug tracker bug. It is the Wesnoth bug where a Fedora user reported this issue.
[00:27] <srk9> I wanted if there is some way I can change my name on Launch Pad. I would prefer to use my real first name as opposed to my email handle.
[00:28] <penguin42> srk9: Ask on #launchpad for that, although it's very quiet
[00:28] <srk9> Thanks.
[00:29] <srk9> Is there any way for someone to nominate a bug for blocker status? This is probably something that should be addressed before Ubuntu 11.04 is released, although I am not sure if it will get attention.
[00:35] <srk9> It seems I messed up. I noticed that I could add "also affects project", but it ended up being added to libsdl rather than wesnoth. :/
[00:36] <srk9> I seem to have fixed it. :)
[00:37] <penguin42> There used to be a 'nominate for...' but that seems to have gone
[00:39] <srk9> penguin42: I guess only privileged people can use that now. Perhaps they had too many nominations.
[00:40] <penguin42> I've asked on #ubuntu-bugs for someone to set priority - I'll try keep asking
[00:41] <penguin42> and they've done that and added a nomination for Natty; so just sit back and we're hopefully good
[00:52] <SpamapS> wtf.. samba's revision history is 300+MB ?!
[00:53]  * SpamapS just had de ja vu
[00:53] <SpamapS> I think I was shocked at this last summer too
[00:53] <broder> That doesn't seem all that unreasonable. It's an old project, for starters
[00:54] <SpamapS> yeah and a bear to maintain
[00:54] <broder> Probably been rewritten, or at least heavily refactored, more than once in its lifetime

[00:55] <SpamapS> luckily starbucks is fairly empty
[00:57] <SpamapS> whats awesome.. after all of that... "Branched 102 revision(s)."
[00:59] <SpamapS> broder: definitely an old package.. its on its *third* epoch
[01:29] <lifeless> SpamapS: o/
[01:32] <SpamapS> lifeless: 'morning
[01:33] <SpamapS> or, afternoon.. ;)
[01:44] <SpamapS> lifeless: all quiet down there?
[02:13]  * SpamapS disappears back into the shadows
[02:39] <Stryker> BREAKING THE SILENCE
[04:52] <lifeless> SpamapS: yes
[12:48] <porthose> Any one aware of this?  Would be interesting to see Ubuntu represented there :) http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2011/mar/HQ_11-070_Open_Source_Summit.html
[12:50] <SpamapS> I think Jono Bacon lives nearby.. I'm always surprised how few ubuntu-ers are in the bay area tho
[12:51] <SpamapS> tons of users.. but not many devs
[12:53]  * porthose wants to see an ubuntu sticker on the side of a mars rover :)
[13:46] <jason> many binary packages are built from "xorg-server" source..   it takes long time, so I want to build xorg-server-core only...  Anyone has an idea on how to build a specific binary package?
[16:19] <ScottK> Unless you're going to do it regularly it would take longer to customize the packaging than to just build the whole thing.
[16:28] <evilvish> porthose: iirc, maco blogged that she had seen NASA systems using Ubuntu..
[16:28] <evilvish> maybe 2 yrs ago..
[16:30] <evilvish> yup » http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/07/nasa-uses-ubuntu.html
[17:25] <aroman> anyone know how I can trick ubiquity into showing it's panel?
[17:25] <aroman> i've gotten it to show the greeter interface by setting some environment variables, but it will not show it's panel
[20:42] <abhinav-> If the development release of apport is 1.19 then why does the lp:ubuntu/apport branch is having 1.14 ?
[20:47] <micahg> abhinav-: http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/apport.html#2011-02-24%2020:16:15.351708
[20:49] <abhinav-> micahg, oh ok. I had a patch for a small bitesize bug which I unknowingly developed against the branch I forked from lp:ubuntu/apport
[20:53] <abhinav-> micahg : I see that lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/natty/apport/ubuntu has the latest version. I will branch from here and submit a merge proposal for this branch . would that be right ?
[20:56] <micahg> abhinav-: yes
[20:56] <abhinav-> micahg: ok thanks :)
