[02:25] <CarlFK> is this a ppa I can use in sources.list ?  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/
[02:27] <mwhudson> well
[02:27] <mwhudson> it's not a ppa
[02:27] <mwhudson> or indeed, an archive at all in the debian sense
[02:30] <lifeless> CarlFK: its a git tree isn't it?
[02:30] <CarlFK> i du no.. i saw ppa :)
[07:41] <bullgard4> I originated bug report #https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tilda/+bug/804735. Why does Launchpad tell me: "You are not directly subscribed to this bug's notifications."?
[07:42] <lifeless> bullgard4: presumably because you are not directly subscribed
[07:42] <bullgard4> lifeless: I beg your pardon?
[07:42] <lifeless> whats your LP user id ?
[07:44] <lifeless> bullgard4: ^?
[07:45] <bullgard4> lifeless: I originated bug report #https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tilda/+bug/804735. Why does Launchpad tell me: "You are not directly subscribed to this bug's notifications."? Are yyou able to answer this question?
[07:45] <lifeless> bullgard4: can you answer my question: what is your LP user id ?
[07:45] <bullgard4> lifeless: I will answer your question after you have answered my question.
[07:48] <andersk> What’s the right place to report a user that’s randomly assigning bugs to themself and changing bug statuses (bug 274251, bug 290704, bug 436936, bug 577385, bug 655795, bug 722690, bug 782309, bug 802464)?
[07:50] <lifeless> andersk: here is fine
[07:50] <lifeless> andersk: has anyone trie dto speak with them ? they've been around for at least a year, so this is unusual
[07:52] <andersk> Yeah, repeatedly, see the comments on those bugs.  Bug 436936 is a good example.
[07:53] <lifeless> andersk: oh hangon, who did you mean :)
[07:53] <lifeless> heru or papa*
[07:53] <andersk> Heru.
[07:53] <lifeless> ah
[07:54] <lifeless> right, around for 8 months, but nearly no activity and a sudden burst
[07:54] <andersk> (papukaija is just trying to help, AFAICS.)
[07:54] <lifeless> I will wuspend them
[07:54] <lifeless> done
[07:54] <andersk> In bug 410822 Heru comments “I need to report my ubuntu in work”, which perhaps explains the motivation for the random fiddling.
[07:54] <andersk> Thanks.
[07:55] <lifeless> its sad if our desire to see significant sustained contributions leads to folk doing this
[07:56] <lifeless> OTOH the various onramp and getting started guides don't encourage arbitrary changes like this
[08:36] <lifeless> andersk: could you do me a favour? open a ticket at answers.launchpad.net/launchpad, for tracking
[08:37] <andersk> Sure.
[08:38] <maxb> There already is one
[08:38] <lifeless> oh cool
[08:38] <maxb> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/163573
[08:39] <maxb> I have no idea what this guy is doing, but he's doing a lot of damage
[08:39] <maxb> And unfortunately it looks like there's a major language barrier issue here
[08:40] <maxb> Based on his comments, he appears to know just enough English to believe he can make himself understood, whilst failing at doing so
[08:50] <maxb> In regards to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/163656, jasmith77, I believe sinzui has some sort of form letter to tell people about safeguarding their browsers / address books ?
[08:54] <lifeless> probably
[08:54] <lifeless> I'm going to vanish now though
[13:58] <pindonga> hi, a question about launchpad api. Given a bug id, how can I request the corresponding project?
[13:58] <guillemhs> ei
[13:58] <guillemhs> is it possible to link a ppa package to project page on LP?
[14:00] <persia> Not in any semantic way.  You could refernce the project in the PPA description, and reference the PPA in the project description.
[14:00] <guillemhs> ok
[14:01] <guillemhs> in other, i can only link official ubuntu packages, no?
[14:11] <maxb> pindonga: One LP bug may be linked to any number of projects, distributions and distribution source packages
[14:13] <pindonga> maxb, k, as an heuristic, is it ok to use bug.bug_tasks[0].bug_target_name assuming in most cases the bug will be linked to just 1 project?
[14:14] <maxb> That's a bit of a weak assumption
[14:15] <pindonga> maxb in my use case, "normally" a bug is only listed in 1 project, or at least there is 1 "main" project for a bug
[14:15] <pindonga> that's the one I'm interested in getting
[14:16] <maxb> OK - you probably want to try to ignore bugtasks with status Invalid, unless they are the only existing bugtasks
[14:16] <pindonga> k, thx
[19:01] <bazzdee> hi
[19:02] <bazzdee> i just tried to report a bug on launchpad, which did not crash oneiric, but it can't find the report button. maybe i'm blind
[19:28] <tsimpson> bazzdee: use the "ubuntu-bug" command to report bugs, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[19:40] <komputes> Whats the URL I'm looking for to see all my Mailing List and BugMail subscriptions. looks something likelike https://bugs.launchpad.net/+me/+subscriptions
[19:52] <Ampelbein> komputes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/+me/+subscriptions ?
[19:53] <Ampelbein> (although that times out for me with OOPS-2011AP89)
[19:55] <maxb> https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+subscriptions for subscriptions to individual bugs
[19:55] <maxb> https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+structural-subscriptions for subscriptions to bugmail for projects or packages
[19:55] <maxb> https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+participation for subscriptions to mailinglists
[19:56] <maxb> https://code.launchpad.net/people/+me/+subscribedbranches for subscriptions to branches
[19:59] <komputes> Ampelbein: thx, but this shows me all the bugs, I just want bugmail for projects :(
[19:59] <komputes> Ampelbein: and mailing LP lists
[20:03] <TDJACR> I've been having trouble logging into launchpad and I've emailed RT (as per a representative's directions) without luck. How should I proceed?
[20:23] <maxb> TDJACR: These days Launchpad no longer manages user authentication itself, that being delegated to the Ubuntu SSO Service, managed by a different team. #canonical-isd is their IRC channel
[20:24] <TDJACR> maxb: Thank you sir, very appreciated
[20:24] <TDJACR> maxb: How do I request an account be closed?
[20:24] <maxb> What do you mean by closed, and are you more interested in the Launchpad or Ubuntu SSO aspects here?
[20:25] <maxb> Launchpad allows a user to deactivate their Launchpad account, however this will not deactivate the SSO account.
[20:27] <TDJACR> maxb: They are two seperate issues, I don't need to contact SSO for the account closure. To sum up, I had two accounts, one which I am locked out of (which I need access to) and another I want to remove
[20:27] <TDJACR> How do I get rid of the lp portion?
[20:28] <maxb> When you say you have two accounts, do you actually mean you have two separate Ubuntu SSO accounts *and* two Launchpad accounts?
[20:29] <maxb> Launchpad accounts can be merged. This is usually the best approach for duplicate accounts in Launchpad
[20:34] <TDJACR> maxb: I had two SSO accounts and two LP accounts (connected to the two SSO) for some reason, I can only log into one of the SSO and Launchpad accounts, the one I don't need. I'm locked out of the other one, which I used to register with on other sites using OpenId
[20:36] <maxb> I see. Then the starting point is definitely to work on getting the access to the important SSO account restored
[20:37] <maxb> After that has occurred, it would likely be sensible to merge the unwanted LP account into the wanted one
[20:38] <TDJACR> maxb: thank you!
[20:38] <maxb> I would not necessarily expect it to be a good time of day to find active people in #canonical-isd, but it is definitely worth asking there
[20:38] <maxb> If you have not already done so, you should also fill in https://forms.canonical.com/sso-support/
[20:38] <TDJACR> I wonder why rt (as canonical told me to contact ) never got back to me
[20:39] <TDJACR> maxb: that form response told me that they could do nothing except tell me to email rt
[20:39] <maxb> The appropriate lines of communication for user SSO problems seem to be annoyingly very blurry
[20:39] <TDJACR> Which iI did to no avail
[20:39] <maxb> Hm, that is quite poor
[20:41] <TDJACR> maxb: Unfortunately yeah, not sure what went wrong, I have some error IDs and so
[20:41] <TDJACR> Does 2011canistellalaunchpad7 mean anything
[20:42] <TDJACR> In the launchpad login service?
[20:42] <maxb> Mention the error IDs in #canonical-isd - if someone is around, or is able to view the conversation later, they will be able to cross-reference them with activity on the servers
[20:49] <TDJACR> maxb when is a good time in the channel
[20:52] <maxb> London business hours are likely to be ok. American ones too, except it's an American holiday today
[20:53] <TDJACR> maxb: Yeah, I'm from the states. When are London business hours?
[20:54] <maxb> 5 - 8 hours before yours :-)
[21:01] <TDJACR> Hehe okay :)
[21:02] <TDJACR> Thanks
