Laibschwhat is the point of nominating a ticket for precise at this point?  example: bug 872924. Isn't precise currently the target for the ticket itself?05:20
ubot4Launchpad bug 872924 in ubuntuone-client (Ubuntu) (and 3 other projects) "Resuming a failed upload crashes with ValueError: I/O operation on closed file (affects: 19) (dups: 3) (heat: 110)" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/87292405:20
micahgLaibsch: to make sure it's fixed in precise or if it's a regression in it05:24
Laibschthis would only become relevant if the fix would not be ready by the time precise is release, correct?05:27
micahgno05:27
Laibschhm, I'm at a loss to understand this, then05:27
micahgbug control policy is to make a task for regressions immediately, also milestoning needs a task on the release in question05:28
Laibschhm, I'm at a loss to understand this, then.  until the time precise is released the master task and the precise task are tracking the same thing.  And can be target for milestones.05:29
micahgwell, the default task will continue to be default in perpetuity or until LP gets rid of default tasks, so not exactly the same, the reason to make a task is that you want to track that specific release even if it happens to be the focus of development05:30
Laibschyes.  That's why I said "this would only become relevant if the fix would not be ready by the time precise is release, correct?"05:32
Laibschat the moment it's a preemptive measure05:34
micahgno, that's my point, it's not just relevant then, but now (there are several development milestones and regressions get tracked immediately)05:39
LaibschThe default task and the precise task have currently the same milestone options or am I mistaken?05:50
micahgyes, they do, but the default task is, err...imprecise05:50
Laibschand concerning "tracking regressions", I suppose that's only possible because one is not supposed to nominate for ubuntu+1 unless it's a regression?05:50
micahgregression or committing to fix in that release AFAIK05:51
Laibschhm05:51
Laibschstill seems awkward to me.  I thought "committing to fix in release X" was done via milestones.05:51
LaibschThank you for the explanation05:51
LaibschI think I mostly got the reasoning behind it now.05:52
micahgyou'll notice that when you milestone for the dev release, it says "status tracked in precise"05:52
micahgor whatever the dev release is05:52
micahgit is, but you can track release specific tasks with a query (i.e. show me all the bugs w/precise tasks open), milestones are a little harder as you'll have 2 sets, default task + precise task05:53
Laibschisn't the query with release specific tasks open currently timing out?07:17
Laibschwell, you are right.  The accepted tasks lists is not timing out07:18
Laibschonly the nominations: bug 61839907:18
ubot4Launchpad bug 618399 in launchpad "DistroSeries:+nominations timeouts (affects: 3) (heat: 16)" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61839907:18
icerootcan you give me an info how a bug like this is handled? (missing package in 11.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/padevchooser/+bug/85169507:18
ubot4Launchpad bug 851695 in padevchooser (Ubuntu) "padevchooser is missing in Ubuntu 11.10 (affects: 10) (heat: 48)" [Undecided,Confirmed]07:18
icerootnormally the package needs to be put from debian in 11.10?07:19
Laibschiceroot: I'd venture to guess you are SOL.  Put up a PPA or use a later release, I guess.07:20
LaibschI don't think this package will come back via an SRU.07:20
icerootLaibsch: ok. i will check if i found a version (in 10.10 or debian sid) which will work with pulse from 11.10 and build a ppa. when 12.04 is out as an alpha i will check if it is fixed, if not i will mark it for 12.0407:23
micahgiceroot: it's won't fix unless someone in Debian picks it up again07:25
icerootmicahg: ah ok, so the issue is coming from debian, we only sync what debian is providing. so debian has to pick it up again or we build it without debian directly from source?07:27
micahgno, we won't add it back unless someone is maintaining it in Debian since it's unmaintained upstream07:27
icerootmicahg: so i/we cant do anything. just hoping someone will maintaining it in debian?07:28
micahgiceroot: that's unlikely, you should try to get the features you need into pavucontrol or somewhere else according to debian bug 63615107:29
ubot4Debian bug 636151 in ftp.debian.org "RM: padevchooser -- ROM; deprecated" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/63615107:29
iceroothm, strange bug on debian.org. pavucontrol is doing something different then padevchooser07:30
icerootso i dont think it easily possible to merge the functions from padevchooser into pavucontrol07:31
Laibschiceroot: I've closed the ticket as wontfix.  The software is really dead.  See my comment on the ticket.07:32
icerootLaibsch: i will have a look07:32
LaibschI'm only now reading micahg's comments here and it seems both he and I have the same idea.07:32
Laibschand marked one dupe of the ticket07:36
icerooti thought the goal of pulseaudio is this server-client-method :(07:36
icerootLaibsch: micahg thank you for having a look at it07:36
Laibschit's unfortunate these things happen.  It seems the package was loved by its users.  It would be nice to see it in a PPA, maybe.  To die a prolonged death, there. ;-)07:37
Laibschit would be really good if the replacement were able to add the missing functionality quickly, I guess.07:38
LaibschHeck, I'll open that ticket now.07:38
icerootyes, it was a real killer-feature. it was so nice to stream your audio input/output to other machines using pulse-audio07:38
Laibschurgh07:39
Laibschthat package doesn't seem to be in good shape, either07:39
Laibschiceroot: I'm not familiar with that since I rarely listen to music (it distracts me)07:40
Laibschbut one of my friends also told me about some recent feature where he did something similar07:40
LaibschI'm sure there is some kind of replacement07:40
icerootLaibsch: watching youtube on your netbook and streaming the sound to your multimedia-pc connected to the speaks in the living room is another use case07:40
Laibschyes, that's I think what he was explaining to me.  It sounded pretty cool.  Not having to wire everything up anew for audio.07:41
icerootLaibsch: i will do some research if thereis something similar. maybe its merged into pulse directly07:41
icerootLaibsch: yes and broadcasting, sharing your mic and so on07:42
LaibschCome back and I can ask him if your search is unsuccessful07:42
icerootmaybe someone can give me a hint to this too? i created a patch, its build upstream, how to get it into ubuntu  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cpufrequtils/+bug/76359007:44
ubot4Launchpad bug 763590 in cpufrequtils (Ubuntu) "typo in de.po from cpufreq-set (cpufrequtils) (affects: 1) (heat: 3)" [Undecided,New]07:44
icerootpackage is in "universe" so i guess i have to build a debdiff and someone from sponsors will built it07:46
icerootand 12.04 will use the fixed upstream version so no patch is needed07:46
icerootah this was on 10.10, i will have a look if it is already fixed in 11.1007:47
icerootnot fixed in 11.1007:49
micahgcpufrequtils |      007-1 | oneiric/universe | source, amd64, armel, i386, powerpc07:50
micahgcpufrequtils |      007-2 | precise/universe | source, amd64, armel, i386, powerpc07:50
icerootyes i was looking into 007-107:51
icerootso the correct way to get it into ubuntu would be a debdiff because of univserse and set sponsors on cc? or what is the workflow for something like that? i know its not a big issue but a good way for learning launchpad, patching and so on :)07:52
micahgiceroot: debdiff, subscribe ubuntu-sponsors07:53
icerootmicahg: 3 debdiffs for 11.04, 11.10, 12.04?07:53
micahgerr, is it not fixed in 12.04?07:53
icerootmicahg: have not looked at the source-package yet i will check it if 12.04 is also affected07:54
micahg10.10-11.10 have the same version ATM, so those would appear to be good candidates07:54
icerootmicahg: ok, i will check 10.10 - 12.04. so i need one debdiff for 10.10 - 11.10 because all are the same version and maybe a second debdiff for 12.0407:56
icerootif 12.04 is affected too07:56
Laibschmicahg: subscribe sponsors first, no?  ubuntu-sru then release the sponsored package07:56
micahgno, 3 debdiffs07:56
micahg007-1ubuntu0.XX.YY.1 where XX.YY is the release version07:56
iceroothm never noticed there is a timestamp07:57
icerootcpufrequtils_007-1.dsc07:58
icerootthe debdiff will always be the same for 10.10 - 11.10 i think or do i get something wrong?07:58
icerootalso the changelog does not have a timestamp07:59
micahgsame except for version and release07:59
icerootmicahg: where in the source-package is the release? (like 10.10)07:59
micahgiceroot: in debian/changelog08:00
icerootmicahg: i dont see any ubuntu information there08:00
micahgit should be maverick-proposed for 10.1008:00
micahgiceroot: right, since it's unmodified from Debian, please join #ubuntu-motu to have someone help you with this08:00
icerootmicahg: ah ok08:00
icerootmicahg: yes you are right, dch -i was doing something like that08:01
iceroothm was it dch?.. doesnt matter, now i get what you mean08:01
micahgyep08:01
icerootthanks again08:02
micahgiceroot: thank you for your work to improve Ubuntu08:03
icerootis there a way to "apt-get source" sourcepackages without editing /etc/apt/sources.list to put in all releases?08:03
micahgiceroot: pull-lp-source in ubuntu-dev-tools08:03
icerootmicahg: ok08:03
icerootthen i will have a look if the 12.04 version is also affected, providing some debdiff, put sponsors on cc08:04
icerootso the last one :)08:07
iceroothttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kwalletcli/+bug/802274  i provided a debdiff to a universe package, so i only have to put sponsors on cc and my work is done?08:08
ubot4Launchpad bug 802274 in kwalletcli (Ubuntu) "Security issue in kwalletcli_getpin(1): tty I/O now properly disables echoing input when asking for a passphrase is not fixed (affects: 1) (heat: 212)" [Low,Confirmed]08:08
micahgiceroot: for a security issue, ubuntu-security-sponsors08:08
micahgotherwise, yes08:09
icerootthere should be an option in launchpad if the package is in universe there should be ubuntu-sec-sponsors instead of ubuntu-sec on cc. sounds like i will open a new bug against launchpad08:11
icerootif the bug is marked as security-issue08:11
iceroots/option/automation08:12
Laibschiceroot: bug 88745608:15
ubot4Launchpad bug 887456 in pavucontrol (Ubuntu) "missing functionality to fully replace padevchooser (heat: 2)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88745608:15
micahgiceroot: no, sponsoring is a separate function from launchpad, it's a workflow issue in Ubuntu08:15
Laibschiceroot: to open a ticket against LP itself use https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad08:15
Laibschiceroot: is bug 526196 what you were asking for in pavucontrol?08:16
ubot4Launchpad bug 526196 in pavucontrol (Ubuntu) ""Move stream" option not available in pavucontrol in 9.10 (affects: 3)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/52619608:16
icerootmicahg: but launchpad is setting "ubuntu-sec-team" on cc when i open a sec-bug against a universe-package and if i get it correctly, sponsors are responsable for universe-package instead of the "real" ubuntu teams08:17
icerootLaibsch: yes :( affecting 9.10 then i can imaging that there will nothing happen on 11.10 and so on08:18
micahgyes for the first point, security is subscribed, no for the second, ubuntu-sponsors puts the bug in a work queue for all of Ubuntu, security sponsors is specific for the security team08:18
Laibschyes, both packages are in terrible shape08:18
Laibschbut 526196 mentioned that the option wasn't available in padvechooser, either?!08:19
icerootLaibsch: yes, never used it with 9.10 just found that feature in 10.04 and there it is working with padevchooser08:19
Laibschiceroot: if a patch comes forth things can be fixed.  I can drive it for you if it's important to you.  But we need a patch.08:19
icerootLaibsch: hm i am happy that you think i can do it but i think i need more time on the whole thing to patch something like pulseaudio myself (writing the patch myself)08:20
Laibschiceroot: sounds like a simple UI issue08:20
LaibschI think what you should do is talk to upstream about it08:21
icerootLaibsch: but we are talking about patching pavucontrol?08:21
Laibschmake them aware of the UI issue and then hope they give you a patch08:21
icerootLaibsch: its not clear if the function is in there08:21
icerootfor me08:21
LaibschI think it is in there.  See the comment about the guy clicking rapidly to access the function.08:21
icerootLaibsch: ok, apt-cache show is giving me Homepage: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pavucontrol/08:22
icerootso i will open a topic there about it08:23
icerootto fix it upstream08:23

ubot4Launchpad bug 526196 in pavucontrol (Ubuntu) ""Move stream" option not available in pavucontrol in 9.10 (affects: 3)" [Undecided,Confirmed]08:23
icerootLaibsch: i dont see the move stream option in "pavucontrol" from 11.1008:25
LaibschOK.  I don't use the progream.  Apparently the guy in comment 2 found a way to "unhide" it.08:25
icerootbut padevchooser was acting different, i have to start padevchooser on client and server and then i choose "stream audio not to my local system but to the remote system"08:26
icerootbut i will do some research and talk with the maintaines to get it fixed08:26
icerootso if it is ok for you i will assign this to me https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pavucontrol/+bug/88745608:27

LaibschI just did this in bug 565146, if you want an example of what I am referring to11:38

spacebug-hello I just filed a bug and got a mail saying I should try to find out which packages it is in and I'm not really sure. My bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/88761718:52
ubot4Launchpad bug 887617 in ubuntu "libreoffice does not always go to launcher when started with shortcut keys (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New]18:52
roadmrspacebug-: since you mention it happens with libreoffice, that would be a good place to start18:54
spacebug-but it also only happens in gnome/unity not KDE for example18:55
roadmrspacebug-: have you found any other applications that exhibit this problem? have you tried unity-2d?18:58
spacebug-no and no. Maybe I should try that. Good point18:59
roadmrspacebug-: if it only happens with libreoffice and only with unity, I'd still say libreoffice initially, if after triaging it's determined that unity is to blame, it can be switched19:00
roadmrspacebug-: it's still better than having a packageless bug :)19:00
spacebug-yeah ok :) tnx19:00

RedSingularityjibel: bug 882975 is a bit odd.  Seems like it is a core package (or packages) giving the issue.  No main.log is being generated either.22:25
ubot4Launchpad bug 882975 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Can't upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88297522:25
jibelRedSingularity, hello, I think the problem is that mountall and upstart are on hold.22:34
jibelRedSingularity, you can see that from the Status line in the dpkg status file22:34
RedSingularityjibel: yeah. What could be holding them?  They look official.22:46
jibelRedSingularity, this was set manually with dpkg or aptitude22:47
RedSingularityjibel: do you know the dpkg config file off hand that contains the scrips holding them?22:49
jibelRedSingularity, the status of the files is maintained in /var/lib/dpkg/status but statuses must be modified with dpkg not directly22:51
RedSingularityjibel: ok.  I will have a look at the man page then.  Thanks.22:51
jibelRedSingularity, e.g to hold mountall run: echo "mountall hold" | dpkg --set-selections22:51
jibelRedSingularity, to unhold run: echo "mountall install" | dpkg --set-selections22:52
RedSingularityjibel: oh excellent!  Thanks again :)22:52
jibelRedSingularity, or if you prefer the UI way use aptitude22:52
RedSingularityjibel: through synaptic or via the CLI?22:54
jibelRedSingularity, aptitude without arguments starts a nice ncurses UI. IIRC synaptic can pin packages to a specific version but cannot set them in state hold.22:59
RedSingularityjibel: oh, didnt even know about that interface for aptitude.  Very good.23:01
