cyphermoxI´m actually surprised at how well I can navigate the interface even when it´s in a language I don´t understand. thank god menus and icons don´t move around too much04:36
BigWhaleI am not sure that morning before 8am is good. :> Nevertheless, good morning all.04:38
cyphermoxBigWhale: I share your (pain?)04:41

didrocksgood morning05:45
pittibonjour didrocks06:41
rickspencer3bonjour didrocks, pitti06:41
didrocksguten morgen pitti, how are you?06:41
didrockshey rickspencer306:41
pittihey rickspencer306:41
pittididrocks: I'm great, thanks! we had a nice party last night, the official housewarming06:42
didrocksoh great! :)06:42
rickspencer3pitti, hast du schoene Geschenke gekreigt?06:42
pittirickspencer3: no, we didn't (and didn't expect to, really)06:43
rickspencer3lol06:43
rickspencer3pitti, the fact that I wrote a sentence in German did not surprise you at all?06:44
rickspencer3you are unflappable06:44
pittirickspencer3: it did actually06:44
pittino body language through IRC :/06:44
rickspencer3lol06:44
pittirickspencer3: and I thought you'd be learning French06:44
rickspencer3pitti, well, I thought I was, but it keeps coming out German06:44
pittibut so much the better, then we can switch #u-desktop to German at last!06:44
pittirickspencer3: don't worry, it's fine :)06:45
rickspencer3I think I put in the wrong language CD to listen to at night06:45
pittiseb speaks German as well, and didrocks will pick it up in no time06:45
didrocksno way :-) I have few remaining bits after 5 years of German at school06:46
pittididrocks: Deutsch ist einfach06:46
didrockspitti: Ich spreche keine Deutsch06:47
didrocksI even found latin more accessible even if you have more rules :)06:47
* RAOF speaks more German than French, but it's been *many* years since he did either!06:50
didrockssmslave: got a backtrace for you, this time, the patch compiles, which is better than yesterday to fix that regression :) however, just testing the case it's now supposed to fix, I can get it crashing: bug #87925306:53

smslaveI wonder why we're still getting that07:09
smslavedidrocks: that looks pretty nontrivial. I'll have to have a look into it when I get time to07:13
smslavenice catch though07:13
didrockssmslave: hum, ok, so we'll leave the regression in oneiric for now07:14
didrockssmslave: was pretty trivial to get TBH, it's just testing the area of code you changed :)07:14
smslaveright, the test plan didn't really cover that case07:15
didrocksthe test plan should tell then to test with more severity the part you are touching :)07:22
smslavesure07:22
smslavedidrocks: this is a random stab in the dark, because I'm on a certain proprietary OS *cough* so I can concentrate on some uni work I'm doing07:23
smslavedidrocks: but can you try changing scale.cpp:722 to read07:23
smslaveforeach (CompWindow *w, cScreen->getWindowPaintList ())07:23
smslaveI can try it later if you're busy though07:24
didrockssmslave: I've already lost 2 hours compiling it when it FTBFS, then, this one, then getting debug symbol and having the stack, so I prefer you take your time once you will have some to look at this!07:24
smslavesure07:24
didrocksyeah, prepping design tracker for next week07:24
smslaveok07:25
didrocks(spot 2 issues, writing test cases…)07:25
smslaveI mean, the only thing that comes to mind right now is that this is a race condition when windows are destroyed, but I'll have to give it another look I guess07:25
smslaveodd that I've never seen this before though07:25
didrockssmslave: the test case is pretty straightforward and I get it 6 times on 6 trial07:27
didrocksI guess you just saw the window appearing now and didn't try to click then07:27

chrisccoulsonit's all seb128's fault ;)08:07
seb128hey08:08

chrisccoulsonseb128, nothing. i was just messing around ;)08:08
chrisccoulsongood morning btw08:08

pittibonjour seb12808:12
seb128lut didrocks, ca va! et toi ?08:12
didrocksseb128: ça va :)08:12
seb128hey pitti, how are you?08:14
pittiseb128: pretty good, thanks!08:14
pittiseb128: we had a nice house-warming party yesterday, some 10 people plus tons of pizza, beer, and wine :)08:14
seb128waouh, sounds great!08:15
pittiseb128: I updated our pygobject/g-i stack in debian and synced08:15
pittiseb128: Debian experimental has a gtk+3.0 3.2.1 package which is ready for upload, so we can also merge with that?08:15
seb128did you make lot of friends already there, or did you invite neightbors etc?08:15
pittiseb128: yesterday we mostly had colleagues from my wife over, plus one of our neighbors08:16
seb128pitti, yeah, we should merge glib and gtk, glib should be closed from a sync, gtk maybe a bit less08:16
pittiseb128: gtk certainly has lots of DXish stuff, yes08:16
pittiseb128: so my current plan is to finish pygobject (need to test 3.2.1 in debian first, as it currently segfaults)08:17
rodrigo_hey seb12808:17
pittiseb128: then update glib-networking, and I'm also happy to loo at merging/syncing glib08:17
seb128hey rodrigo_08:17
pitti"look"08:17
rodrigo_mvo, do you want me to mark the 2 bugs as SRUs?08:17
seb128pitti, ok, feel free to do it, I was planning to have a look to glib,gtk for sru and merges then next week but if you beat me to it I will not complain ;-)08:18
pittiseb128: I won't get to GTK today, I think08:18
mvorodrigo_: yeah, please do08:18
pittiseb128: but we should wait with that until we have new glib anyway IMHO08:18
seb128pitti, I'm still a bit torned between oneiric srus and bug triage and precise work08:18
seb128I did syncs yesterday for things that were good to sync08:19
rodrigo_mvo, done08:19
seb128pitti: what is good is that apparently we can sync things using an orig.tar.xz even if we had the same version using .tar.bz208:20
pittiseb128: sure08:20
pittiit's a different file, so it doesn't conflict08:20
seb128well I was unsure if you could replace the orig for a same version08:20
seb128I never changed the orig format in a revision before ;-)08:20
pittiseb128: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/ReleaseStatus are the bugs that were on the oneiric RC radar, but seems none have a solution available righ tnow08:22
seb128pitti, the list is quite small08:23
seb128pitti, oh btw I did catch robert_ancell yesterday evening08:24
rickspencer3seb128, excuse me for interrupting, but I have a quick question about desktop files08:24
seb128we will do a mini "SRU sprint" for lightdm on monday08:24
seb128rickspencer3, hey, you are always welcome to ask questions or just chat with us ;-)08:25
rickspencer3seb128, if I want to run an app with an environment variable, can I just add it to the exec line of the desktop file?08:25
rickspencer3Exec=LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 photobomb08:25
rickspencer3^ didn't work08:25

seb128pitti, dx sprint next week08:34

seb128pitti, so we will sit together and look at lightdm during one of the hacking slot on monday08:35

pittiseb128: oh, btw, didn't you say you would take the Fridays off?08:37
seb128pitti, yeah, I skipped this one because there was some stuff I wanted to finish and get ready before travelling08:41
seb128but I will probably be off at some point during the afternoon to get ready before travelling08:42
seb128i.e I've some shopping to do, maybe getting an haircut, etc08:42
pittiget one for Greece as well!08:42

hrwdidrocks: I use setup without any tool drawing desktop and get lot of crap on screen due to that.09:18
sroeckerhi, is there no "file copy notification" anymore in unity?09:18
didrockshrw: it's nautilus which is drawing it by default09:18
didrockshrw: if you have nothing refreshing the wallpaper, yeah, it will get blurry09:18

seb128pitti, great10:43
seb1283°C there, brrrrr, no icecream on the way back from the supermarket for me10:43
Laneydoes pristine-tar have proper xz support yet?10:44
seb128pitti, speaking of glib desrt remained me that we should drop our patch to fallback the gio dir to the old location10:44
smslavedidrocks: can't reproduce your crash :(10:51
smslaveopened two terms, minimized, launcher icon -> scale, clicked on the unminimized one and it didn't crash10:52
smslavedidrocks: however, I think there is a case where if a window is closed while in scale mode it will cause scale to crash in the same way, so maybe my idea might fix that10:53
pittiLaney: works fine in git-bp at least10:53
pittiseb128: to the non-multiarch path you mean?10:53
didrockssmslave: really?10:53
pitti(me @ lunch, bbl)10:53
didrocksseb128: do you want to test this in a ppa?10:53
Laneypitti: it works, but only because it stores the entire file AFAIK10:54
seb128pitti, yes10:54
Laneyi.e. it doesn't do proper deltas for xz yet10:54
smslavedidrocks: I'll see if I can get it this other way10:54
didrockssmslave: that's still weird, it doesn't seem to be hardware dependant10:54
smslaveit is not hardware dependent10:54
didrocksso, if seb128 can confirm, I can push this in a ppa10:54
smslavebut it is a race condition10:54
didrockshum, ok10:55
chrisccoulsoncjwatson, so, i can disable the firefox test suite to "fix" this powerpc hang for now10:55
chrisccoulsonbut firefox will definitely *not* work on powerpc10:55
chrisccoulsonat all ;)10:55
chrisccoulsonit will just hang on startup like the test suite does10:55
seb128didrocks, I'm happy to break my 10v for you ;-)10:55
smslavedidrocks: weird, don't even see it in that case O.o10:57
smslavedidrocks: nevertheless, I can add a patch which *might* fix it10:58
Laneychrisccoulson: how does iceweasel build for debian? looks like they run some kind of testsuilte there10:58
chrisccoulsonLaney, what version are they building?10:59
Laney8.0~b310:59
chrisccoulsonno idea, but it doesn't work at all here10:59
Laneyyeah, thought it might be interesting to see if there is a relevant difference10:59
Laneyi notice some patches relating to tests for example http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/iceweasel/8.0~b3-211:00
smslavedidrocks: ok, at least this approach doesn't break anything11:02
didrockssmslave: ensure you run it for a couple of days and let's see together on Monday11:02
smslavedidrocks: ah, reproduced it in a different way I know what it is now11:04
didrocksgreat :)11:07
chrisccoulsonLaney, it doesn't look like they run all the tests that we do11:21
chrisccoulsonstill, i'm confused why any of them work11:21
chrisccoulsonthe way the test fails here looks like a fairly fundamental problem with the JS engine, which should break everything really11:21

seb128pitti, we pretty much sorted it on the list already, there is no much to discuss12:25
pittioh, we did?12:25
seb128pitti, yeah, bryce did testing on various hardware and confirmed it was a nvidia driver issue in old version that got fixed and an fglrx issue still there, he took action to get it escalated to amd12:26
seb128pitti, that's pretty much what we can do about it, so not a lot to discuss12:26
pittiseb128: I thought there were voices on teh bug report that it also happened on intel12:27
seb128pitti, those seem marginal issues12:27
seb128pitti, well anyway there might be still issues but it doesn't seem the sort of things that are well suited for an UDS session12:36
seb128it rather requires a call for testing and evaluation of the feedback and deciding12:36

seb128chrisccoulson, you know me ;-)12:43
seb128chrisccoulson, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-mozilla-upgrade-experience, stop blaming it on the package manager12:43
seb128it's an issue that we don't lock the session or log out to "apply the updates"12:43
chrisccoulsonseb128, it's a package manager bug :P12:45
chrisccoulsonwe should be able to update running applications without breaking them12:45
seb128yeah, I'm not sure it's possible to solve for the archive out of "locking" the session12:46
chrisccoulsonif we could do that, then we could have silent security updates ;)12:46
seb128never going to happen, for how long does the old version need to keep working?12:46
seb128weeks?12:46
pittiweeks would render security updates pointless12:47
pittithe entire reason why we do the updates is that you can't keep your browser running in the wild any more12:47
seb128like the glade to gtkbuilder example you gave is a good example (we could work around this one by keeping the old glade though), but let's say the .ui changed in the new version with the same location12:47
chrisccoulsonno, it wouldn't be weeks. you'd still get notified after an upgrade to prompt a restart. what i'm saying is that we shouldn't break running applications by doing an upgrade12:48
chrisccoulsonwhich upstream already seem to manage ok ;)12:48
seb128chrisccoulson, what you advocate for is having all programs being one blob with static-built-libraries12:48
pittiwhat's that do to with libraries?12:48
chrisccoulsonit's more complicated than that12:48
pittiyou can change or remove .so files underneath a running program just fine12:48
pittis/program/process/12:49
seb128right12:49
pittifirefox might execve() new processes, of course12:49
chrisccoulsonyeah, those aren't the problem. the problem is anything which isn't mapped in to a programs address space12:49
seb128the interface glade,.ui is closer from real issues12:49
seb128or images12:49
chrisccoulsoneg, xul files, html, js, xml etc12:49
seb128or documentation12:49
chrisccoulsonand glade/ui files, as seb128 mentioned12:49
seb128chrisccoulson, well I'm sure we can solve it case by case, but it would take years to fix every program in the archive12:49
seb128I'm not convinced it's the best use of our efforts12:49
chrisccoulsonthe way that upstream installers work is that they don't remove the old copy until you restart the app12:49
seb128we should just "lock" the session while applying the updates12:50
pittiwe could apply updates on logout/shutdown12:50
pittibut then some people would never do them12:50
pittiand that would be annoying if you are in a hurry12:50
chrisccoulsonyeah12:50
seb128chrisccoulson, it means system tools have to watch users process, seems a can of issues sort of situation12:50
pittiso I never liked that much12:50
pittichrisccoulson: what was the original problem, OOI?12:51
chrisccoulsonpitti - with firefox?12:51
pittimy firefox seldomly breaks when I installed a security update, it just keeps nagging me about "restart me!" (which is fine, I think)12:51
seb128chrisccoulson, the other issue is what happens if one user restart firefox and another user is still logged in with the old version running? when do you overwrite the files? does the restart for the 1 user get back the old version?12:52
chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, it breaks if you try to open, say, the preferences window. ie, anything which requires it to read more resources12:52
pittiwell, at least it tells you so12:52
pittiwhich is already more than we do in any other program12:52
chrisccoulsonseb128, i'm not sure how to handle the multi-user case. i don't even think upstream handle that well. but then, i think that's an edge case for most devices12:52
chrisccoulsonthese are mozilla's plans for updates btw - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Background_Updates12:53
chrisccoulsontheir current update system sucks actually, as it checks/applies updates at startup12:54
chrisccoulsoni think the proposal there is similar to the chrome model on windows12:54
seb128chrisccoulson, well I think 1- we will never manage to make it work accross the archive, so by see it's not a package manager issue, 2- the cost is way higher than the benefit seeing the number of things that don't work on our desktop12:54
seb128it's a very hard problem ;-)12:55
chrisccoulsonindeed12:55
chrisccoulsonbut it sucks that people experience this every 6 weeks12:55
pitti2- full ack12:55
chrisccoulsonand we get bug reports from it too12:55
chrisccoulsonwell, actually, not anymore12:55
pitti1- it's also not a problem for most other packages in a stable releases, as security updates don't change the interface, glade files, library structre, etc.12:55
seb128chrisccoulson, well, then we should do a better job telling them that once the update is applied their browser *needs* to be restarted12:55
chrisccoulsonas i blocked apport from reporting bugs ;)12:55
pittithe problem only really hits firefox because it's a combined features/security/libraries/infrastructure files update12:56
seb128well, it hits users on cross Ubuntu version dist-upgrades12:56
seb128but I think we should really message that those require a restart12:57
pittiwell, yes, but in that case really all bets are off12:57
pittiwe can't possibly keep the entire old system around12:57
jdstrandmy wife hits this all the time12:57
seb128jdstrand, firefox?12:57
seb128jdstrand, or in other cases?12:57
jdstrand"Jamie, firefox is broken!"12:57
jdstrandfirefox12:57
seb128we should not display a banner12:57
jdstrand"Jamie: please restart it"12:57
kenvandinemine too, but it was usually the compiz stacking problem in natty :)12:57
seb128we should display on top of the firefox screen "click there to restart"12:57
jdstrand"Oh, ok, it is working again. Thanks!"12:57
kenvandinefirefox doesn't work really meant she couldn't click on anything :)12:58
jdstrandheh12:58
kenvandineperhaps the requred restart button should prevent you from doing anything else until you restart firefox12:58
didrocksjdstrand: sounds like a "The IT Crow" answer :)12:58
seb128or we should just make update-manager say "your browser is about to be updated, please step away from it we will apply the update and restart it for you"12:58
jdstrandheh12:58
seb128pitti, should we deny https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-remove-safely-remove for UDS or has the situation changed and it's worth discussing?13:01

seb128Sweetshark, well I don't know much what it does, just that fedora is building with those option so they probably tested them and it probably works for them14:26
seb128the --enable-gio is in the upstream gio configure.in14:27
seb128so that's not a distropatch it's an upstream option14:27

seb128ups16:07
Amaranth(most people won't have the egl line)16:08
seb128tshirtman, open a bug using "ubuntu-bug xserver-common" I guess16:08
AmaranthI don't think, anyway16:08
tshirtmanhttp://paste.pocoo.org/show/496149/16:08
tshirtmanthere is some 64 in this16:08
tshirtmanshould i try to change with update-alternatives?16:09
seb128tshirtman, can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?16:09
tshirtmanhttp://paste.pocoo.org/show/496150/16:09
tshirtman:)16:09
tshirtmanhave a nice read :D16:10
Amaranthtshirtman: You know about pastebinit, right?16:10
tshirtmannope :)16:10
AmaranthYou can just run cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit and it'll give you a link to the pastebin16:10
tshirtmannice :)16:10
didrocksAmaranth: even pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log16:11
Amaranthdidrocks: TIL16:11
tshirtmanuseless use of cat :P16:11
Amaranth[    57.613] (EE) [drm] failed to open device16:11
didrocksthat's how you end up cat <file> | grep ;)16:11
Amaranthtshirtman: Do you still have the nvidia kernel module?16:12
CarlFKpitti: check-language-support doesn't return anything, but I am still getting the 'incomplete language support' message16:12
Amaranthdidrocks: I still do that :/16:12
didrocksAmaranth: come on! :-)16:12
tshirtmannope, i removed everything nvidia-*16:12
Amaranthtshirtman: lsmod | grep nvidia16:12
AmaranthAlso I guess use lsmod to make sure nouveau is loaded16:12
tshirtmanmy friend on 64bit have the same result as me on the ls /etc/alternatives... except the _egl one, that he has not16:12
AmaranthBecause it's failing to find /dev/dri/card0 or a similar device16:13
tshirtmanAmaranth: already dif both of that, no nvidia, and a few nouveau16:13
Amaranthafaik you only get the EGL one if you've installed something that provides libegl1-x1116:13
Amaranthso most people wouldn't have that, since most people aren't doing GLES stuff on their desktop16:13
tshirtmanwell, i probably installed that to compile openglES stuff16:14
tshirtmanwell, i'm using things that use it16:14
tshirtmanand that i need to compile16:14
Amaranthalright, so the root of our problem here is that you either don't have a /dev/dri/card0 (bug in the nouveau kernel module or udev) or it has the wrong permissions (bug in udev)16:15
Amaranthno drm means no 3D16:15
tshirtmannothing in /dev/dri16:15
seb128tshirtman, http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting#Xorg_fails_to_start_with_.22.28EE.29_.5Bdrm.5D_failed_to_open_device.2216:16
seb128not sure if that's useful16:16
Amaranthit's going to be one of those first two16:17
Amaranthperhaps pastebin your dmesg16:17
tshirtmanAmaranth: i think i had a message like "removing all drm/dri" when i removed nvidia-*16:17
tshirtmanor was it kms?16:18
tshirtman>_< not sure anymore16:18
tshirtmanoh, ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg think i installed the nvidia drivers manually in the past, that may be true :$16:20
tshirtmandamn you "/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf"!16:22
ricotzseb128, are you able to restart this build? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cogl/1.8.0-1/+build/285105216:24
tshirtmanok, it was this file16:25
tshirtmanso thanks for ubuntu-bug for being clever16:25
tshirtmanto*16:25
AmaranthThat's a pretty impressive find16:26
tshirtmannot sure i have to file a bug, i had installed nvidia module manually long ago16:26
Amaranthtshirtman: So for that one you'll probably want to just restart after removing that file16:26
Amaranthtshirtman: Also maybe reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri16:26
tshirtmanwell, it pointed to the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log16:27
tshirtmanand in this the nvidia installed kindly explained about that modprob file16:27
tshirtmanso i have unity running, quite slowly, but it run :)16:28
tshirtmans16:28
seb128ricotz, no, I'm not buildd admin16:28
tshirtmanand yeah, Amaranth i just had to reboot after rm of the guy16:28
Amaranthtshirtman: So it's working now?16:29
tshirtmanyep16:29
ricotzseb128, ok, np16:29
AmaranthGuess that was a support thing rather than a bug thing after all ;)16:29
bjsnidertshirtman, you installed nvidia using the nvidia-installer?16:30
tshirtmanyeah, sorry for the mess16:30
tshirtmanbjsnider: yeah16:30
tshirtmani don't remenber either why and when, it's been some time16:30
Amaranthbjsnider: Didn't have those fancy SRU nvidia updates back then16:30
bjsnideryou woul have to run the .run file again with --uninstall16:30
bjsniderto completely remove it16:31
tshirtmandamn, i have to find again :)16:31
bjsnideri think that's the flag16:31
bjsniderwe've had x-updates since lucid and i had teh vdpau ppa since before that16:31

tshirtmanis it possible to tell when a system was installed? it may be 2 years old16:32
tshirtmanok, thanks for all anyway :)16:33
broderhmm...are there concrete plans for how the extended hw support in precise is going to work? is it just kernel backports? kernel and mesa/ddx/etc. backports?17:06
hallynis there supposed to be a way to get the indicator-messages to support twitter?  am I just blind, or is that not yet supported?17:19
kenvandinehallyn, gwibber uses indicator-messages17:24
hallynoh, i see, so i should use that.  thanks17:24
kenvandinenp17:24
hallyn(i get confused how it all fits together :)17:25
kenvandine:)17:25
hallynbut I"m liking it17:25
kenvandinegreat17:25
ogra_kenvandine, is there a howto somewhere, ho to add new apps to the indicator ? i just switched to sylpheed and would like to have some way to use the panel icon17:25
kenvandineyeah, what language is sylpheed written in?17:26
ogra_well, its the predecessor of claws17:26
ogra_C i would guess17:26
ogra_it also offers to execute a custom command if mails arrive17:27
ogra_(curenty i have a notify-send in there to get at least something while the app is minimized)17:28
kenvandinethere isn't a command for it, you would use libindicate17:29
kenvandinei thought there were examples on the wiki, but not finding them17:29
ogra_well, if there are, i will find them, its not urgent or something17:29
kenvandine:)17:29
kenvandinethere are API docs on developer.ubuntu.com for libindicate17:30
kenvandineand we have lots of examples in the archive17:30
kenvandine:)17:30
ogra_k, thanks ! :)17:30
kenvandineyou can look at xchat-indicator as a reference17:30
ogra_will do17:30
kenvandinenp17:30
hallynis banshee suddenly, after awhile, jumping to 250% cpu (and never slowing down) a known bug, or do i need to (gather info and) report?17:31
kenvandinehallyn, i haven't seen that happen17:31
kenvandinenot known afaik17:31
hallyndrat.  happens daily for me.17:32
hallynok, next time it happens i'll try to report :)17:32
kenvandine:)17:32
kenvandinethx!17:32
hallynif cpu will let me17:32
hallyn(i only ever notice bc cpu temp goes very close to where it shuts down)17:32
kenvandinewow17:32

dobeymterry: uhm. do you know where exactly that 302 error is coming from? i doubt it's a server issue exactly. looks like something is not handling redirects when it should18:39
mterrydobey, I could believe it.  duplicity is handling the errors, but doesn't have a case for 30218:41
mterrydobey, when does U1 give back 302 for the Files API?18:41
dobeymterry: no idea18:42
mterrydobey, I haven't seen the error myself.  I understand the theory behind 302, but not sure when a files api consumer would expect them.  I shouldn't think they would happen there18:44
dobeymterry: i guess my point is that it shouldn't matter, because any HTTP based client should handle 302 correctly. does deja-dup log the Location header or anything?18:50
mterrydobey, no, this happens in duplicity (the command line backup program that deja-dup uses) and it doesn't log it either18:51
dobeyok :-/18:52
=== Zdra-n900 is now known as xclaesse
mterrydobey, is there a situation where U1 would give back a 500 status without an oops-id?19:22
ubot2https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=id19:22
dobeymterry: possibly, but i don't really know anything about the server side of the REST stuff as i haven't worked on it19:24
mterrydobey, ok.  a user just hit one, but I'd always seen an oops id19:25
dobeymterry: i think a rollout is happening today/now, so maybe weird timing issue and it got hit. not sure19:26
