danboidIs aptitude broke in oneiric?09:40
danboidI've been using a combo of aptitude and apt-get under 11.10 and I've got a number of packages I can't install as its saying it can't install them due to the deps being a bit new that whats supposedly required it seems09:42
danboida bit newer, sorry09:42
tumbleweedyes, if you have multiarch (amd64 will have i386 added as a foreign arch)09:42
danboidtumbleweed, What if I'm not even running x86 and haven't knowingly installed anything from another arch? I'm running the omap4 (armel) build09:43
danboidI won't have installed anything from another arch unless someone has mistaken packaged somnething that way in the 11.10 armel repos09:44
tumbleweedthen aptitude should probably work09:45
=== almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan
danboidA number of packages are broken like libqt4-dev for example - it won't install as it says its deps are a bit too new basically :/10:15
tumbleweeddanboid: can you pastebin the exact error?10:15
danboidThat happens with apt-get and aptitude - apt-get -f install has been no help but yes will pastebin the error10:20

yann__Dear MOTUs, please look at this FFe : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/806291/comments/30  . Need ack of a 2nd MOTU , and/or upload to Debian then sync.11:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 806291 in Ubuntu "[FFe][needs-packaging] Boot-Repair" [Wishlist,Confirmed]11:25
tumbleweedyann__: ScottK and I both commented on that as release team members11:27
tumbleweedScottK offered you archive-admin review, if it was a sync from debian, and I offered you an FFe if it was a sync. So what's blocking uploading it to Debian?11:27

Guest52270I can still install some packages11:51
Guest52270apt isn't totally fubar - yet - I think! :)11:51
Guest52270Hopefully I won't have to re-install!11:52
geserdid you disable the updates repository by chance?11:52
Guest52270geser, Don't think so but let me check..11:52
Guest52270geser, Ah! Seems I only had 'Important security updates' selected but not the other three so lets see..11:55
geser4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8 is in oneiric while 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8.1 is in oneiric-updates11:55
Guest52270geser, Dunno how it got unchecked11:55
ScottKtumbleweed: Lack of sponsoring.12:48
tumbleweedScottK: yeah, and a package like that probably deserves some fairly thorough review (I wouldn't jump and sponsor it)12:52
* ScottK neither.13:06
jalcineIs it possible to get the source qt-gstreamer backported to Maverick?13:26
jalcineOr has there been no interest in doing so? (I'm willing).13:26
ScottKjalcine: You know Maverick goes out of support in a month, right?13:45
jalcineeh, I know people who use Gutsy still. :p13:46
ScottK!backports13:46
ubottuIf new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging13:46
ScottKjalcine: ^^^13:46
jalcineThank you *clicks*13:47
genupulassome one plz http://pastebin.com/Qd2pzRXW13:50
tumbleweedgenupulas: nothing to worry about there, you just didn't have a gpg key for the e-mail address you are using13:51
genupulasbut i have uploaded an GPG key in my LP with that email13:52
tumbleweedhttp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=raja.genupula%40yahoo.com&op=vindex looks like there are *lots* of keys with that ID13:53
tumbleweedso it didn't know which one to use13:53

tumbleweedgpg --list-secret-keys 0x92661626 outputs anything?14:03

genupulasit have sec,uid,ssb14:04
yann__Coming back to Boot-Repair's upload to Debian: thanks Tumbleweed and SkottK for your answers (i was disconnected so i may have missed someone-else answer). As SkottK said, it is now lacking sponsor for upload into Debian.14:05
tumbleweedgenupulas: throw in a -k0x92661626 ? (to debuild)14:05
tumbleweedyann__: right. But we can't grant you an FFe in Ubuntu unless you can get an archive-admin who volunteers to review it14:06
genupulasdidnt get you , sorry14:06
tumbleweedand that's far more likely if it comes from debian14:06
tumbleweedgenupulas: debuild -S -k0x9266162614:07
genupulastumbleweed:  thats awesome , thanks man14:07
genupulastumbleweed:  thank you very much14:08
tumbleweedgenupulas: I don't know why it wasn't finding your key. Maybe someone else has an idea?14:09

tumbleweedyes14:10
tumbleweedto a PPA14:10
genupulasyes14:10
gesertumbleweed, genupulas: my guess is that the key uid (including any comments) as used in the changelog entry doesn't match a uid on that key14:20
geserbut as I can't find a keyserver which can lookup that key (timeouts), I can't check it14:21
genupulasexport GPGKEY=k0x92661626 duane told me to do that in .bashrc , i did that and i am trying again14:22

yann__(sorry i have connectivity issues)14:28
yann__here is why i think it would be a good thing to put Boot-Repair in Ubuntu ISO : Boot-Repair is used by ~500 Ubunteros/day, and most of them currently have to download another ISO (Boot-Repair-Disk, or Ubuntu-Secured-Remix) to repair their boot/GRUB.14:30
yann__it's ok to wait for a mentor to upload in Debian, but this would probably mean no inclusion in Precise ISO. If by chance a MOTU was interested to review it now, i can take time to answer any question.14:35
ScottKyann__: It's very, very unlikely it would be added to the ISO now as we're well past feature freeze.14:42
yann__ok, no problem, then. I'll wait for Alessio to finish his exams ;)14:44

plustwoor how can i find it?16:40
tumbleweedif it was accepted, you'd have got an e-mail (within 5 mins or so)16:40
tumbleweedyou sure the gpg key you signed it with was linked to your lp account?16:40
plustwoi think so, cause it said "Succesfully signed dsc and changes files"16:41
tumbleweedplustwo: that's unrelated16:41
plustwotumbleweed: i'll need to recheck then16:42
tumbleweedby unrelated, I mean, that means you signed it, not that LP knew who signed it16:43

chilicuilhi there, I'm trying to test if an app is completly translated, I do have a chroot environment (pbuilder) with the latest ubuntu version, know how can I installed the 'pt' version for example?20:23
chilicuilI know that the klavaro package is not complety translated, since I've it in ubuntu oneiric, I'd like to translate what's left20:28
pabelangerQuestion about the ubuntu sponsorship process for MOTU, it says to ask for some 'recommendations' to be added to your wiki page.  Should I actively be asking people to add them or do I just sit back and wait?21:21
tumbleweedwhen you apply for upload rights, it's usually a good idea to reach out to people who've sponsored several things for you in the past21:22
* pabelanger nods21:23
pabelangerI feel kind cheesy asking for them, but I guess I have to start21:23
broderi don't think it's cheesy, especially since it's just part of the process21:25
pabelangerbroder: I feel cheesy, not the process.21:25
pabelangerNever was one to get signature for a year book :)21:26
tumbleweedpeople are supposed to watch devel-permissions, and endorse/comment on applications that they see coming past21:26
brodertumbleweed: err, wat?21:26
brodernews to me21:26
tumbleweedbut that doesn't happen so much(as far as I know) most endorsements are solicited21:26
tumbleweedbroder: I thought that was the purpose of devel-permissions?21:26
broderis it? i don't ever remember hearing that i was supposed to be watching it21:27
tumbleweed"supposed" is a strong word :)21:27
Laneyi don't think so. it's just a public record of applications, but you can use it like that if you want21:27
Laneyi expect people don't announce there until after they've secured some endorsements though21:28
broderpabelanger: you might find http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi helpful21:28
