stgraberoh right, I guess I should do mine eventually... I've had all the paperwork stacked on my desk for a while now, just need to find the CRA login/password I somehow manage to loose every year and then some motivation...00:02
knomestgraber, i could be your paid assistant to remember passwords00:03
knomestgraber, silence is acceptance?00:06
GrueMasterI like that idea.00:06
knome:)00:06
stgraberknome: the problem with that password is that I received it on some sheet of paper and I'm really efficient at loosing anything that's on paper ;) I guess I should just e-mail it to myself, then it'll be properly indexed :)00:06
knomestgraber, or, send it by mail to me, and i'll archive it for you. for a small compensation.00:06
GrueMasterHeh.  I need to find my pin for my student loan info so I can work on consolidating them.00:07
GrueMasterIt was mailed to me on a 3x5 card.  No name on the card, just on the envelope.00:07
knomethat's why you both should really process everything through computers right away.00:08
GrueMasterI plan on saving mine to floppy once I find it.  Oh, wait....00:09
knomethe floppy or the card?00:09
GrueMasterDoes it matter?00:12
knomehmmh. i think it does :)00:13
cjwatsonmercifully I haven't yet tripped any of the triggers that would cause me to have to fill out manual tax returns (touch wood), which is just as well since I have the bureaucracy-related organisation levels of a deranged chipmunk00:13
GrueMasterFortunately, I can do mine in a Windows VM (only reason I keep it around still).  But every few years, my wife does something that inadvertently screws up our ability to e-file.  Last year, she took a month of sick pay due to surgery.00:15
cjwatson... which reminds me it's actually kind of important that I register my son's birth within the legal time limit.  I should go do that tomorrow ...00:16
GrueMasteryea, that might be important.  Wouldn't want animal control to think he was a stray.  :P00:16
cjwatsonI think if you have to fill out a manual tax return in the UK it at least can be on paper.00:16
GrueMaster(congrats btw).00:17
cjwatsonta :)00:17
infinitycjwatson: I (and any Canonical employee in Canada who isn't in Quebec) am stuck filing manually, sadly.00:31
mdeslaurinfinity: seriously, you have to file it _manually_?00:37
mdeslaurinfinity: do they need you to mail stuff to them, or what?00:37
infinitymdeslaur: Quebec has my provincial taxes, the feds have no record of that, so I need to file manually, send in my Releve 1, and let them battle it out.00:38
infinitymdeslaur: It's a serious pain in the butt.00:38
infinitymdeslaur: But we're all taxed as if we're Quebecois, regardless of our which province we live in. :/00:39
infinitys/our //00:39
mdeslaurinfinity: so you get a crapload of money back :)00:39
infinitymdeslaur: There's that.  I get an okay return.  But it's still an annoying hassle.00:39
infinitymdeslaur: If Quebec could just play nicely with others, it wouldn't matter.00:40
mdeslaurinfinity: damn baby boomers :)00:40
knomeenlight me on PAE. will it be default for 12.04 already? if yes, can people with older computers install 12.04 at all?00:44
dokonow, is the unity/staging repository built for every commit? I think that's not acceptable00:44
stgraberknome: yes it'll be the default, the non-pae kernel will still be in the archive. It's probably ok for flavours to choose to go with pae by default but it'll need some tweaking00:45
ScottKmdeslaur:  "I get an OK return" is another way of saying "I gave the government an interest free loan".00:45
stgraberknome: others will need to use a d-i mini.iso (netinstall) to get the non-pae kernel00:45
knomestgraber, so, derivatives will use non-pae by default?00:46
ScottKknome: Not unless they decide to.00:46
knomei'm confused :D00:46
ScottKHe was saying that was a choice different flavors might take, not that they had.00:46
knomehe said: "probably ok for flavours to choose to go with pae by default"00:47
knomewhich lead me thinking derivatives don't have pae00:47
stgraberknome: everyone is PAE only by default but you can ask to go non-PAE on a per-image basis (I think, I'm not exactly sure where the changes needs to happen to be honnest ;))00:48
knomestgraber, okay. that's in 12.04 already?00:48
stgraberyes00:48
knomestgraber, if yeah, how was i able to run 12.04 in vbox with no pae enabled?00:49
knomeor is that supposed to work too00:49
stgraberknome: either because vbox was lying or because it was a very old image ;)00:49
knomesomething around 030100:49
knomemarch, that is :P00:49
stgraberhmm, that should have been pae-only00:49
knomecould've been 2802..00:50
* knome changes timestamp syntax on-the-fly00:50
stgraberhmm, confirmed that all xubuntu images are currently using the PAE kernel00:50
knomeokay...00:50
stgraberso it should have failed to boot in vbox if it indeed simulated a non-pae environment00:51
knomemmh. okay...00:51
knomeweird00:51
knomei need to bring this up on our community meeting00:51
stgraberI think it'd make sense for xubuntu or at least lubuntu to go with a non-pae kernel by default, otherwise we'll basically end up having no ubuntu flavours that's bootable on old hardware00:52
stgraber(where "old" includes 1.6Ghz pentium M, so really not that old)00:52
stgraberand pointing to a d-i netinstall image isn't that great as it's definitely harder for the user to install and doesn't provide a live environment00:53
knomestgraber, yup00:57
knomeanyway, i'll get back to you with this later ;)01:01
knomenow i need to sleep, so nighty01:01
dokoinfinity, I turned on the old arm buildds to catch up01:08
Riddellhmm libical-dbg in New has a curious debugging file system e.g. usr/lib/debug/.build-id/bc/e20ac21fa0ba1123c73c4dded2ade72a4f136b.debug08:48
Riddellanyone seen that before?08:48
Riddellfabo: yours? ^^08:50
pittiRiddell: yes08:50
pittiRiddell: that's the new debhelper 9 style08:50
pittiarguably it looks crap08:50
faboit's debhelper 908:50
fabousing build id08:50
pittibut apparently it's the new glib/gdb way08:50
pittiRiddell: please don't accept that yet, though08:50
pittiRiddell: the package FTBFSed on arm* and powerpc, so seb128 ought to fix that first (I think he requested the sync)08:51
pittiwe should only binNEW it once it's built on all arches, otherwise library transitions will be a pain08:51
Riddellinteresting, I'll have to google that08:52
Riddellpitti: leaving libdbg, I'll do the source new packages08:52
Riddellleaving libical-dbg I should say08:53
pittiRiddell: do you have an opinion on bug 343363? i. e. adding the recommends of cryptsetup-bin to udisks, so that this works out of the box instead of producing error messages?08:54
ubot2`Launchpad bug 343363 in cryptsetup "FFe: gnome functional depends on cryptsetup, but not in package management" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34336308:54
Riddellpitti: seems like a good thing, what's the downside?08:54
pittiRiddell: none known to me08:55
pittiwell, 100 kB CD size of course, but we can spend that08:55
pittiit's a long-standing wrt08:55
pittiwart08:55
pittibut now we have the cryptsetup package split, so we can add it without affecting boot time etc.08:55
Riddellit has my blessing :)08:55
pittiRiddell: I just wanted a second pair of eyes on it as I'm biased there08:56
pittiRiddell: ok, thanks08:56
Riddellaccording to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure when a SRU is in -propsed I can just accept it if sane without having to wait for ubuntu-sru to approve09:55
Riddellis that right?09:55
pittiI'd rather have the SRU team do this; but if it's trivial and obviously correct, go ahead10:03
pittibut please make sure the bug tasks are all present, it's fixed in precise, and run sru-accept.py10:03
Riddellit's not trivial so I'll update the documentation to make that clear10:04
* Riddell changes to "The ~ubuntu-sru team will review and approve then the archive admins will accept your upload."10:08
knomehey! we at xubuntu are planning a slight changes to our logo (or as some people like to point out, a change in the logo is not slight), and would like to upload that for beta2. that would not affect *ANY* layouts or strings, so i'm asking how closely would you like us to follow the UIFe process, which basically ensures translators and documentators know about it, but this isn't relevant for them. so is it enough to ask the release team, and if 10:32
knome^ we also don't have any translations from launchpad, so for xubuntu, this translators+documentators process is useless anyway10:33
knome^ the change is http://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/precise_logo/logo_comparison.png to make the logo easier to use on various backgrounds + make it a bit brighter.10:35

jamespageRiddell, ack14:04
infinityjamespage: If there's a rename going on, are there also transitional packages?14:46
jamespageinfinity, the package set is self contained so I don't think it actually requires any transitional packages14:54
jamespagethe packages have appropriate Replaces: fields so that they superceed their ebox-* equivalent14:55

mvohi, I uploaded a release-upgrader-apt to lucid-proposed with a fix for #940396 - it would be great if someone could have a look and accept so that the auto-upgrade-tester can use this apt version to verify that it fixes the bug and also that there are no regressions from it16:18
