[01:59] <psusi> kees, re: bug #556167 when you say "actual disk files" what are you referring to?  a block device?
[01:59] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 556167 in vm-builder (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "vmbuilder uses parted to create disk images, which leads to broken sector counts (cannot use grub2 on disk images created by vmbuilder/parted) (affects: 4) (heat: 28)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/556167
[10:40] <alourie> I am trying to upgrade my VM installation to 12.04 and get this: W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
[10:40] <alourie> what do I do?
[10:42] <mvo> alourie: you could simply comment it out for now and run the upgrade again
[10:42] <mvo> stgraber: ^--- would be nice if extras.ubuntu.com could get a precise archive :)
[10:47] <alourie> mvo: archvive? you mean in apt.conf?
[10:47] <alourie> sorry
[10:47] <alourie> comment out in config?
[10:51] <mvo> alourie: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove extras there, but note that 12.04 is very much in flux and unstable (just as a warning ;)
[10:51] <alourie> right
[10:51] <alourie> I commented in .distUpgrade
[10:51] <alourie> ...and it didn't help
[10:51] <alourie> ok, I'll try the main list
[10:52] <alourie> thanks
[14:16] <stgraber> mvo: argh, fixing that now :)
[14:38] <stgraber> mvo: fixed on LP's side (published and then removed a package). Issue should be fixed on extras.u.c next time it's mirrored
[14:40] <mvo> stgraber: great, thanks!
[15:05] <bdmurray> pedro_: can you look at bug 882255?
[15:05] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 882255 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "No administrative actions possible (password refused) after enabling passwordless login (affects: 2) (heat: 20)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/882255
[15:06] <pedro_> bdmurray, looking at it now
[15:07] <bdmurray> pedro_: thanks
[15:13] <seb128> bdmurray, pedro_: doesn't seem to be a gnome-control-center issue
[15:16] <bdmurray> seb128: what do you think then?
[15:18] <seb128> not sure, likely accountsservice
[15:18] <seb128> or not a bug
[15:18] <seb128> seems wrong to give sudo rights to an unsecure users
[15:18] <seb128> it would require to determine what that should do first
[15:19] <seb128> check with the security team if they agree that non-password logins should get admin rights
[15:19] <pedro_> yeah having users without a pass with admins rights seems really wrong
[15:19] <pedro_> i'll subscribe the security team so they can have an opinion on it
[15:20] <seb128> options I see are:
[15:20] <bdmurray> When you go to user accounts I believe it behaves differently if you just click "Automatic Login" vs clicking on the Password button
[15:20] <seb128> - get g-c-c to display a warning that sudo rights will be revoked
[15:20] <seb128> bdmurray, right, autologin still has a password, it just skips the login manager credential for you
[15:20] <seb128> you will have to enter your password still for authentification, keyring, sudio
[15:21] <seb128> sudo
[15:21] <seb128> no-password account mean you have no password at all
[15:21] <bdmurray> yes, I think the bug here is if you click password choose "auto-login" in the drop down box your password is removed
[15:22] <seb128> well options would be: display a warning that such users can't access admin right, or revoke that check and let them be admin, or drop the option from the ui
[15:22] <seb128> bdmurray, no, it's not "autologin", it's "no password login"
[15:22] <seb128> they are different things
[15:23] <seb128> the autologin is a switch button on the account dialog mainpage under the password option
[15:23] <seb128> the "no password" means "set an empty password for my user"
[15:24] <bdmurray> Okay, perhaps the distinction should be clearer
[15:25] <seb128> yeah, I don't deny it's an issue
[15:26] <seb128> not sure what's the right way to fix it though
[15:26] <seb128> one first step would be to improve the wording and make it clear it will disable admin rights
[15:26] <seb128> second step might be to not disable admin rights for those users but that's something to check with the security team
[15:27] <seb128> not sure that's a good idea to do that

[16:56] <greyback> chrisccoulson: oh I'm sorry, I somehow learned it was your thing. Please ignore :)
[16:56] <chrisccoulson> heh
[16:56] <chrisccoulson> who told you that?
[16:57] <greyback> Was browging through the source package release history, trying to see who makes them.
[16:57] <greyback> Ah, now i see that you had fixed a bug in metacity, that's why you're credited
[16:57] <greyback> chrisccoulson: Sorry! :)
[16:58] <chrisccoulson> ah :)
[16:58] <chrisccoulson> yeah, i fix bugs occasionally, but it's not something i pay that much attention to :)

[17:13] <bdmurray> mvo: and how does the scan data get generated?
[17:14] <mvo> bdmurray: this is generated from rookery, I wonder if that mirror is out of date :/ ?
[17:15] <mvo> bdmurray: I'm on my way to dinner, I will have to further investigate tomorrow I think
[17:15] <bdmurray> mvo: okay, enjoy!
[17:18] <okee> Ubuntu crashed on install, and now I have a purple screen with no desktop, but I do have a top menu bar and the ability to shut down.  Do I need to install Ubuntu first with a dual boot?
[17:20] <mvo> bdmurray: yeah, rookery is outdated :(
[17:21] <mvo> bdmurray: I asked IS about it, once its updated again we need to push a SRU for it
[17:22] <okee> I am running Version 11.10
[18:05] <seb128> looks like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed could do with updated screenshots ;-)
[18:05] <seb128> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Software_Sources.png is ok
[18:05] <seb128> but it's the old theme and the dialog layout changed a bit
[19:35] <bdmurray> pedro_: Do you know what happened to rhythmbox-client in 11.10?
[19:38] <pedro_> bdmurray, it was removed from the upstream tarball : http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/commit/?id=9d4e5bcf1e969caa2f9848340ec610792c6a29d1

[19:40] <pedro_> i'll check
[19:41] <pedro_> bdmurray, right, and we're using a git snapshot from 20110908 so the client is not there
[19:41] <pedro_> commenting on the bug now
[19:42] <pedro_> should be there on Precise
[19:42] <pedro_> when it gets the new package
[19:42] <bdmurray> Doesn't really seem SRUable does it?
[19:44] <pedro_> It's a whole re write of the client, so I'd say is not a candidate for SRU
