smoseris there some tool i can use to easily get the payload of a debconf value ?00:13
smoserideally very standard.00:13
smoseri'm hoping to00:22
smoser a.) dump all keys matching some string00:22
smoser  that can be the same package, or not be, thats fine00:22
smoser b.) iterate over items in 'a', and get the value of each00:23
smoserfor this situation, they're all strings00:23

Jack_Hi, Does Ubuntu development have anything to do with developing Grub 2 or configuring Grub 2 for use on Ubunutu?02:22
JackyAlcineWell, Grub's a distro-independent kind of thing.02:24
JackyAlcineYou could set it up for a Windows-only system (though MS would wipe it out with its own boot manager)02:24
JackyAlcineIf anything, there's probably a few patches made by the dev team here to make it more homely for Ubuntu.02:24
Jack_so a query about grub2 wouldn't be relavant here?02:24
JackyAlcineAll depends, it's IRC, have to ask if you want to know.02:26
JackyAlcineI know that I don't know anything Grub-specific.02:26
Jack_I was wondering if there was any particular reason why windows boot menu entries don't get parttool (hdX,Y) +boot applied by default?02:26
Jack_I have a tri-boot system with windows 7, windows 8 and Ubuntu installed. Both versions of Windows have their own boot manager. Windows 7 will only hibernate, and Windows 8 will only shut down if it has the boot flag set.02:29
Jack_So with the default grub2 install, I could only make one work with setting the boot flag, but by adding parttool +boot to the menu entry it works fine.02:30
JackyAlcineWell, again, it might be with how Windows communicates with the boot manager itself. Since it's a bit unpredictable (due to its closed nature), it might not work as expected.02:30
Jack_Could anything bad result from having Grub set the windows partitions boot flag?02:31
JackyAlcineNo background with that, I'm sorry.02:34
Jack_That's okay. Do you know anyone I could contact about it?02:35

pittiGood morning06:30
micahghi pitti, there was a broken python-defaults upload which made python uninstallable on !i386, I reverted the change to unbreak the archive (hopefully)06:32
pittimicahg: ah, thanks06:32
micahgpitti: I just hope nothing else was depending on that change other than multiarch06:34
micahgpitti: I wonder if the python3-defaults upload needs to be reverted as well06:35

slangasekmicahg: so did you revert python-defaults entirely?06:52
micahgslangasek: yes, is that bad?06:52
slangasekoh, well, it's suboptimal from my POV :)06:52
slangasekI was only after python-all-dev, python-dev being marked Arch: any; I don't know why python also got marked Arch: any06:53
micahgslangasek: with your multiarch hat or your manager hat?06:53
slangasekwith my multiarch hat only ;)06:53
slangasekyou're well within your rights to have reverted the whole thing, just wanting to make sure I understand the current status06:54
micahgslangasek: I didn't have the expertise to fix it properly, nor the time, I figure you and doko can work out the right thing in a fraction of the time it would take me to do it :)06:54

infinitymicahg: Err, around now.  I assume it was about the python mess?07:09
micahginfinity: yeah, was going to ask you to bootstrap, but I reverted instead, in the end, it might not be needed at all07:09
infinityIt wouldn't need to bootstrap, it would just need them all to build in the same publisher cycle (or i386 last).07:10
micahginfinity: or that :), I'm wondering why that's the case though07:10
infinitymicahg: The reason it all went pear-shaped was because doko's first upload was FTBFS on !i386, due to missing build-deps.07:13
infinitymicahg: And by the time he fixed that, the i386 packages had been uploaded, making python unintallable on all other arches.07:13
infinitymicahg: So, yeah, if his change had been done properly, and in one publisher cycle, no one would have ever noticed.07:14
micahgoh, I think I figured out the answer to my question07:14
infinitymicahg: So, I stick with my assertion that if we want this change, we just need to revert your revert, and it'll work fine.07:14
infinity(After your packages are published)07:15
infinityslangasek: ^^07:15
infinitymicahg: Basically, if you're positice that -9ubuntu5 builds on !i386 with dpkg-buildpackage -B, it would be safe to reupload that as -9ubuntu707:17
infinitypositive, too.07:17
infinitymicahg: But also perfectly valid to leave it as-is and let slangasek and doko argue about it later. ;)07:18
micahginfinity: yeah, well, I tested that, but with a slightly behind mirrror07:18
micahginfinity: I'd rather let them sort it out as I have other things to do before bed07:18
infinitymicahg: Sure, the behind mirror bit is fine, since that would simulate the current fixed situation. ;)07:18
micahginfinity: that's why I uploaded ubuntu5 as a workaround :)07:18
micahginfinity: anyways, slangasek said he didn't expect the whole source to be multiarched anyways07:21

pittimr_pouit: I'm nto sure whether the order of dependencies matters, though16:41
pittimr_pouit: you might try dropping the lightdm dependency perhaps?16:41
pittiit should then resove x-desktop -> gtk-greeter -> lightdm with already fulfilled greeter dep16:42
mr_pouitit was required because earlier versions didn't ship lightdm-set-default. But that was for oneiric only, so this should be fine now16:43
mr_pouitI'll try that then, thanks.16:44
ogra_diwic, yo ... seems your last upload reverted a fix from adam ... could it be that your bzr tree is out of sync ?16:49
ogra_diwic, (alsa-lib that is)16:49
diwicogra_, I don't have upload rights, but I have seen fixes from adam earlier which he has not committed to the bzr tree, so that's recipe for failure if you ask me...17:04
ogra_diwic, well, would be nice if alsa-lib could just use UDD ... then it would have been automerged17:05
ogra_i ran into that issue as well several times before17:05
diwicogra_, TheMuso is the one you want to talk to about that17:05
ogra_k, will note that down for a UDS evening :)17:05
dholbachwhat is the best way to replace duplicate files with symlinks?17:08
ogra_take your microphone and tell it to the HUD ?17:09

dholbachogra_, it's not working for you?17:09

abeerhi, is anybody here planning to be a mentor at Google Summer of Code?17:32
ScottKUbuntu isn't in GSoC.17:32
abeerThere was a thread17:34
abeerwhere one of the developers posted that Ubuntu would be participating GSOC '1217:34
abeerthere was a search for mentors as it missed out in 11.17:34
micahgyeah, we missed the deadline by ~10 minutes apparently17:37
abeeroh damn! I was really hoping to work under Ubuntu17:38
micahgabeer: you still can, just not under the GSoC banner :)17:38
abeerThe thing is I am new to world of submitting code17:39
abeerGSOC would have been an opportunity where I could have a mentor who would be able to guide me completely towards the completion of a project.17:40
ScottKDepending on what you want to do, you can accomplish similar things independent of GSoC, just with a little more team approach.17:42
abeerWell, the thing is I have experience with Java to make small applets and am kind of proficient in C++.17:43
bdmurraypitti: ubuntu-bug should work with a command name for example do-release-upgrade right?17:43
abeerI've been trying to pick Python up so I can contribute using quickly as shown on the dev page,  but I can't figure out what would be the best way of go about learning Python as there are an umpteen number of resources available.17:44
ScottKPython is (IME) generally easy enough that the best way is to find some problem and figure out how to solve it.17:47
ScottKCareful what you admit about C++ knowledge or apachelogger will try to steal you away to work on Kubuntu (which also uses a lot of Python)17:47
apacheloggersee plus plus17:49

* Sweetshark is looking for a brave sponsor.20:06
Sweetsharkkenvandine, cjwatson, bryceh, mdeslaur, mterry: anyone volunteering to sponsor the upload of 3.5.1-1ubuntu1 to be found in /home/bjoern on chinstrap?20:10
Sweetsharkmicahg: ^ (just skimming through timezone data)20:13
micahgSweetshark: sorry, in the middle of too many other things20:13
brycehSweetshark, yep can do20:16
Sweetsharkbryceh: great, thanks!20:26
micahgSweetshark: I wonder if Friday EOD is the best time for a new LibreOffice code drop20:33
brycehSweetshark, upload sponsored20:35
brycehmicahg, fair point, sorry didn't see your comment before I pushed the button20:37
chrisccoulsonFriday EOD is actually the best time for a new LO code drop, because you won't have to worry about it for 2 days if it blows up :-)20:38
chrisccoulsonj/k ;)20:38
brycehhehe20:38
brycehwell, for better or worse the upload got rejected20:38
micahg\o/20:38
chrisccoulsonin any case, doesn't it take pretty much the entire weekend to build?20:39
micahgI thought it was down to just over a day on teh pandas20:39
micahgyep, ~31 hours20:40
brycehSweetshark, I've emailed you what LP sent back.  For some reason it didn't pick up the various tar.gz files20:40
bryceh(did you run debuild -S -sa ?)20:40
brycehgoing to run it through pbuilder and maybe a ppa first, for now.20:46
brycehSweetshark, out of curiousity, how is testing handled with libreoffice uploads for ubuntu?20:47
Sweetsharkbryceh: gah, yes. I didnt switch back to -sa for the new upstream upload.20:47
Sweetsharkmom20:48
ScottKmicahg: If Thursday, way past COB is a good time to break the archive, I think Friday COB is a great time for an LO upload.20:48
brycehSweetshark, also, even with the -sa added my pbuilder is croaking on it20:49
bryceh(which admittedly might be local pbuilder borkage)20:50
* bryceh chucks it into ppa:bryce/lo-3.5.120:51
Sweetsharkbryceh: I am always building on a pbuilder here (one for the source package and one for the binary build). The debs build from that then are smoketested in a VirtualBox (open some document etc.)20:52
Sweetshark(the pbuilders are kicked off from a jenkins instance)20:55
Ampelbeinmfisch: re-ping!20:56
brycehhmm, my pbuilder still operates on X packages ok20:57
brycehlibexttextcat-dev (>= 3.1.1) maybe?20:59
mfischAmpelbein: I have an update on a ftbfs that you worked on bug #93538521:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 935385 in python-djvulibre (Debian) "python-djvulibre version 0.3.3-1 FTBFS on i386 in precise" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93538521:01
mfischAmpelbein: unfortunately, I don't know how to proceed, I'm not sure I have the ability to pull and then post a new upstream version21:01
Ampelbeinmfisch: Everyone can pull current packaging and propose a merge via the sponsorship process.21:03
Ampelbeinmfisch: Let me quickly check that report.21:03
* Sweetshark watches ppa build21:17
Sweetsharkbryceh: the ppa seems to build, doesnt it? did it break earlier at your local pbuilder?21:24
brycehSweetshark, yeah looks like it's doing better in the ppa21:26
brycehSweetshark, yeah in pbuilder it terminates on unsatisfied deps, even after freshly updating it.  One of the packages is 'uninstallable'21:26
bryceh                                 Depends: libexttextcat-dev (>= 3.1.1) but it is not installable21:28
lbordaHi guys, I am running precise (upgraded from oneiric) and one of the updates crashed unity. I was able to upgrade the packages again but now every time I press right-click on the mouse unity crashes and restart again... Any idea?21:28
brycehlborda, collect backtrace, file a bug21:29
Sweetsharkbryceh: strange, I remember having that too, but it was transitional.21:29
brycehlibexttextcat-dev  precise  3.2.0-1ubuntu121:30
lbordabryceh, should I use use ubuntu-bug unity ?21:30
brycehlborda, yes21:30
lbordaalright tks21:30
Sweetsharkbryceh: libexttextcat was only recently MIRed, maybe your mirror does somehow missed out on that?21:30
brycehah, could be21:30
Sweetsharks/does/did/21:30
brycehyep, showing it in universe21:30
brycehSweetshark, this is pulling from us.archive.ubuntu.com21:32

ubottuLaunchpad bug 938582 in libexttextcat (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libexttextcat" [Undecided,Fix released]21:33
micahgwell, nothing is depending on it21:33
micahgoh, hmm, there is a recommends21:34
* micahg wonders why that's not on component-mismatches21:34
* Sweetshark is a bit confused by the MIR being "Fix Released", although it is not in main yet.21:40
slangasekSweetshark: because pitti promoted it to main before it was seeded, which means the next archive admin to come along demoted it back to universe ;)21:44
Sweetsharkslangasek: nasty archive admins!21:45
Sweetsharkslangasek: should I reopen the MIR?21:45
slangasekno21:45
slangasekis there something that pulls it into main now?21:45
brycehslangasek, libreoffice21:45
slangaseki.e., has the LibO that uses it been uploaded?21:46
brycehslangasek, no, it doesn't build in my pbuilder due to the missing dep, so I've hesistated uploading it21:46
slangasekah21:46
slangasekbryceh: can you turn universe on for testing in your pbuilder?21:46
slangasekalthough... how long is a build test of this going to take? :)21:46
brycehslangasek, I popped it into a ppa where it appears to be building ok21:46
slangasekok21:46
Sweetsharkslangasek: I am always building in a pbuilder here fwiw21:47
slangasekyeah - component mismatches don't block being able to build with pbuilder21:47
slangasekit's just bryce's particular pbuilder config21:47
slangasekanyhoo21:47
slangasekif someone gets that uploaded to precise, I can take care of the promotion straight away21:47
brycehslangasek, build logs going @ https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/lo-3.5.1/+packages21:48
brycehslangasek, shall I wait until that ppa has finished building, or does it look ok to send it in now?21:48
Sweetsharkslangasek: 15min for the source, 2:10h for the binary build with ccache (on a quad i7 notebook with 16GB RAM). 3:30h without ccache.21:48
slangasekbryceh: I would be inclined to upload it straight away21:49
brycehslangasek, micahg also raised the issue of it being past COB Friday... worth waiting until monday?  since it takes so long to build anyway, perhaps it doesn't matter?21:49
slangasekwhat's the build-time on armel?21:49
brycehslangasek, alright.  I'm comfortable with that given Sweetshark's testing practices21:50
brycehmicahg, your thoughts?  still think it being friday is a red flag?21:51
slangasekbryceh: if the world explodes after you upload, are you going to be around to help clean it up? ;)21:52
micahgslangasek: arm* build time on the pandas is 31 hours21:52
* slangasek nod21:52
slangasekso I think it would be a good idea to get it built over the weekend21:52
Sweetsharkfyi, the oneiric backport ppa builds took 6:38h on i386 and and 6:40h on amd64.21:52
micahgright, that's the questions if bryceh or someone else and Sweetshark are committed to being around to fixing issues, I don't have a problem with it21:52
brycehslangasek, I'll be gone much of the day Saturday but am here for the next 4 hrs at least21:52
Sweetsharkarm build time is why I would like to have this in before the weekend ;)21:52
slangasekI can keep an eye out tomorrow21:53
* micahg would think with the package's history, it would be more prudent to upload very early monday21:53
micahgi386/amd64 hit Monday, everything else tuesday21:54
micahgbut if there's coverage for breakage, then it doesn't matter when21:54
Sweetsharkits 2300 local here. I can be around tommorrow till around noon but not later. sunday i could be on guard.21:55
brycehI'd be willing to pop in to do the upload Saturday night my time.  Should only take a few minutes, not a big deal21:56
brycehnot sure what plans I have for sunday, but probably will be checking in periodically21:56
Sweetsharkbryceh: that would be great. I would be around to take the bullets when it finishes then ...21:57
micahgSweetshark: re libexttextcat> sometimes, things get promoted prematurely, but then get demoted since nothing depends on it21:59
micahgthey21:59
micahg* they're supposed to remain Fix Committed until it's seeded or depended on22:00
micahgbut there is a recommends in this case, so I have no idea22:00
Sweetsharkmicahg: k22:00
Sweetsharkjust leaving stuff as is then for now22:01
mterryIs there an easy way to test software under a VPN?  (like a demo VPN test server somewhere?)22:01
Sweetsharkmicahg, bryceh, slangasek: thank you very much.22:01
* Sweetshark wanders of for the night.22:01
brycehSweetshark, great sounds like a plan, will pick it up Sat night22:01
