[00:13] <smoser> is there some tool i can use to easily get the payload of a debconf value ?
[00:13] <smoser> ideally very standard.
[00:22] <smoser> i'm hoping to
[00:22] <smoser>  a.) dump all keys matching some string
[00:22] <smoser>   that can be the same package, or not be, thats fine
[00:23] <smoser>  b.) iterate over items in 'a', and get the value of each
[00:23] <smoser> for this situation, they're all strings
[00:24] <smoser> looks lke maybe i can make debconf do what i want

[02:22] <Jack_> Hi, Does Ubuntu development have anything to do with developing Grub 2 or configuring Grub 2 for use on Ubunutu?
[02:24] <JackyAlcine> Well, Grub's a distro-independent kind of thing.
[02:24] <JackyAlcine> You could set it up for a Windows-only system (though MS would wipe it out with its own boot manager)
[02:24] <JackyAlcine> If 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?
[02:26] <JackyAlcine> All depends, it's IRC, have to ask if you want to know.
[02:26] <JackyAlcine> I 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?
[02:29] <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.
[02:30] <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] <JackyAlcine> Well, 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.
[02:31] <Jack_> Could anything bad result from having Grub set the windows partitions boot flag?
[02:34] <JackyAlcine> No background with that, I'm sorry.
[02:35] <Jack_> That's okay. Do you know anyone I could contact about it?

[05:02] <ScottK> slangasek: Now that doko made python arch:any, someone's going to have to do a bit of bootstrapping on archs !i386 since two of it's dependencies need python.

[06:30] <pitti> Good morning
[06:32] <micahg> hi 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] <pitti> micahg: ah, thanks
[06:34] <micahg> pitti: I just hope nothing else was depending on that change other than multiarch
[06:35] <micahg> pitti: I wonder if the python3-defaults upload needs to be reverted as well
[06:35] <micahg> bug 934593
[06:35] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 934593 in python-defaults (Ubuntu) "python-all-dev, python-dev must be Arch: any for multiarch" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/934593
[06:35] <micahg> python3-defaults is currently depwait on ~i386
[06:36] <slangasek> sounds like the sort of change that should have gone through the FFe process; I'd say revert it, at least for now
[06:36] <micahg> slangasek: python3-defaults?
[06:36] <slangasek> yeah
[06:36] <pitti> http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/precise_probs.html
[06:36] <pitti> micahg: looks like it
[06:37] <pitti> micahg: yes, a reversion definitively sounds like the right and quick thing here, as it breaks half the archive right now
[06:37] <micahg> pitti: python-defaults should fix precise_probs
[06:37] <pitti> unless you know exactly what to fix
[06:37] <micahg> I"m flying blind here :)
[06:37] <pitti> there's a fair amount of python3* stuff there, too
[06:37] <pitti> micahg: right :) so, our new policy is to revert
[06:38] <micahg> ah, ok, then I should upload this quick
[06:38] <pitti> micahg: thanks!
[06:46] <micahg> pitti: uploaded
[06:46] <pitti> cheers!
[06:47]  * micahg hopes the beer reappears soon
[06:48]  * slangasek waits for beer on https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise Upgrade Testing Dashboard :)
[06:50] <pitti> slangasek: there's still 5 armel packages which are uninstallable; so no beer today :/
[06:50] <slangasek> phooey
[06:52] <slangasek> micahg: so did you revert python-defaults entirely?
[06:52] <micahg> slangasek: yes, is that bad?
[06:52] <slangasek> oh, well, it's suboptimal from my POV :)
[06:53] <slangasek> I was only after python-all-dev, python-dev being marked Arch: any; I don't know why python also got marked Arch: any
[06:53] <micahg> slangasek: with your multiarch hat or your manager hat?
[06:53] <slangasek> with my multiarch hat only ;)
[06:54] <slangasek> you're well within your rights to have reverted the whole thing, just wanting to make sure I understand the current status
[06:54] <micahg> slangasek: 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 :)
[06:55] <micahg> I'm still curious about the binary domination in that case though
[06:56] <slangasek> yeah, I dunno

[07:09] <infinity> micahg: Err, around now.  I assume it was about the python mess?
[07:09] <micahg> infinity: yeah, was going to ask you to bootstrap, but I reverted instead, in the end, it might not be needed at all
[07:10] <infinity> It wouldn't need to bootstrap, it would just need them all to build in the same publisher cycle (or i386 last).
[07:10] <micahg> infinity: or that :), I'm wondering why that's the case though
[07:13] <infinity> micahg: The reason it all went pear-shaped was because doko's first upload was FTBFS on !i386, due to missing build-deps.
[07:13] <infinity> micahg: And by the time he fixed that, the i386 packages had been uploaded, making python unintallable on all other arches.
[07:14] <infinity> micahg: So, yeah, if his change had been done properly, and in one publisher cycle, no one would have ever noticed.
[07:14] <micahg> oh, I think I figured out the answer to my question
[07:14] <infinity> micahg: So, I stick with my assertion that if we want this change, we just need to revert your revert, and it'll work fine.
[07:15] <infinity> (After your packages are published)
[07:15] <infinity> slangasek: ^^
[07:17] <infinity> micahg: Basically, if you're positice that -9ubuntu5 builds on !i386 with dpkg-buildpackage -B, it would be safe to reupload that as -9ubuntu7
[07:17] <infinity> positive, too.
[07:18] <infinity> micahg: But also perfectly valid to leave it as-is and let slangasek and doko argue about it later. ;)
[07:18] <micahg> infinity: yeah, well, I tested that, but with a slightly behind mirrror
[07:18] <micahg> infinity: I'd rather let them sort it out as I have other things to do before bed
[07:18] <infinity> micahg: Sure, the behind mirror bit is fine, since that would simulate the current fixed situation. ;)
[07:18] <micahg> infinity: that's why I uploaded ubuntu5 as a workaround :)
[07:21] <micahg> infinity: anyways, slangasek said he didn't expect the whole source to be multiarched anyways
[07:22] <micahg> err..arch any, not multiarched :)
[07:31] <micahg> umm, there was no need for me to revert python3 defaults apparently

[12:56] <cyphermox> WPA adhoc is key-mgmt=wpa-none; pairwise=none ; group=tkip
[12:56] <cyphermox> mdeslaur: I do think that's correct, as is documented as the proper config
[12:57] <mdeslaur> cyphermox: that doesn't make sense...why do you say that's the proper config?
[13:02] <cyphermox> mdeslaur: pairwise=none is the right way to configure adhoc.
[13:06] <mdeslaur> cyphermox: yes, you've said that already...show me the spec :)
[13:07] <cyphermox> mdeslaur: not quite spec, but it's documented in multiple places as such; see http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2011-July/023483.html

[13:23] <carif> not sure I'm asking this question in the right place, when I dch -i for some pkgs and change the version in the changelog, the source directory is modifed to match when I exit. This works for some pkgs and not for others (it seems intermittent). Any reason why? I like the behavior and want to see it always happen

[15:23] <pitti> slangasek: mono prerm bug> can't this be fixed in precise as well, for people who don't install SRUs before dist-upgrading? prerm failed-install or so?
[15:23] <pitti> (it should still be an SRU, I figure)
[15:23] <slangasek> pitti: the root bug isn't in the prerm of the package being removed; and the package being removed doesn't exist in precise

[16:25] <mr_pouit> pitti: thanks for the indicator-applet fix! (now i've the same issue with lightdm recommending unity-greeter ;D)
[16:34] <pitti> mr_pouit: ah, lightdm gets installed before resolving the xubuntu-desktop dependencies all over again, argh
[16:34] <pitti> mr_pouit: can you please file a bug about it as well, and subscribe me? we need to discuss that with a few people
[16:40] <mr_pouit> pitti: this is because xubuntu-default-settings depends on lightdm (>= 0.9.3-0ubuntu2), x11-common (>= 1:7.6+7ubuntu2), lightdm-gtk-greeter (>= 1.0.0-0ubuntu2)
[16:40] <mr_pouit> pitti: if I swap them, it should be fine
[16:41] <mr_pouit> (I'll try, and file a bug later if it doesn't help)
[16:41] <pitti> mr_pouit: ah, it's x-d-s itself?
[16:41] <mr_pouit> yeah
[16:41] <pitti> mr_pouit: in the other bug, i-applet was pulled in much earlier
[16:41] <pitti> so this seems to be easier then
[16:41] <pitti> mr_pouit: I'm nto sure whether the order of dependencies matters, though
[16:41] <pitti> mr_pouit: you might try dropping the lightdm dependency perhaps?
[16:42] <pitti> it should then resove x-desktop -> gtk-greeter -> lightdm with already fulfilled greeter dep
[16:43] <mr_pouit> it was required because earlier versions didn't ship lightdm-set-default. But that was for oneiric only, so this should be fine now
[16:44] <mr_pouit> I'll try that then, thanks.
[16:49] <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)
[17:04] <diwic> ogra_, 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...
[17:05] <ogra_> diwic, well, would be nice if alsa-lib could just use UDD ... then it would have been automerged
[17:05] <ogra_> i ran into that issue as well several times before
[17:05] <diwic> ogra_, TheMuso is the one you want to talk to about that
[17:05] <ogra_> k, will note that down for a UDS evening :)
[17:08] <dholbach> what is the best way to replace duplicate files with symlinks?
[17:09] <ogra_> take your microphone and tell it to the HUD ?
[17:09] <ogra_> ah, wait, that was 14.04
[17:09] <dholbach> ogra_, it's not working for you?

[17:32] <abeer> hi, is anybody here planning to be a mentor at Google Summer of Code?
[17:32] <ScottK> Ubuntu isn't in GSoC.
[17:34] <abeer> There was a thread
[17:34] <abeer> where one of the developers posted that Ubuntu would be participating GSOC '12
[17:34] <abeer> there was a search for mentors as it missed out in 11.
[17:37] <micahg> yeah, we missed the deadline by ~10 minutes apparently
[17:38] <abeer> oh damn! I was really hoping to work under Ubuntu
[17:38] <micahg> abeer: you still can, just not under the GSoC banner :)
[17:39] <abeer> The thing is I am new to world of submitting code
[17:40] <abeer> GSOC 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.
[17:42] <ScottK> Depending on what you want to do, you can accomplish similar things independent of GSoC, just with a little more team approach.
[17:43] <abeer> Well, the thing is I have experience with Java to make small applets and am kind of proficient in C++.
[17:43] <bdmurray> pitti: ubuntu-bug should work with a command name for example do-release-upgrade right?
[17:44] <abeer> I'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.
[17:47] <ScottK> Python is (IME) generally easy enough that the best way is to find some problem and figure out how to solve it.
[17:47] <ScottK> Careful 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)
[17:49] <apachelogger> see plus plus

[20:06]  * Sweetshark is looking for a brave sponsor.
[20:10] <Sweetshark> kenvandine, cjwatson, bryceh, mdeslaur, mterry: anyone volunteering to sponsor the upload of 3.5.1-1ubuntu1 to be found in /home/bjoern on chinstrap?
[20:13] <Sweetshark> micahg: ^ (just skimming through timezone data)
[20:13] <micahg> Sweetshark: sorry, in the middle of too many other things
[20:16] <bryceh> Sweetshark, yep can do
[20:26] <Sweetshark> bryceh: great, thanks!
[20:33] <micahg> Sweetshark: I wonder if Friday EOD is the best time for a new LibreOffice code drop
[20:35] <bryceh> Sweetshark, upload sponsored
[20:37] <bryceh> micahg, fair point, sorry didn't see your comment before I pushed the button
[20:38] <chrisccoulson> Friday 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] <chrisccoulson> j/k ;)
[20:38] <bryceh> hehe
[20:38] <bryceh> well, for better or worse the upload got rejected
[20:38] <micahg> \o/
[20:39] <chrisccoulson> in any case, doesn't it take pretty much the entire weekend to build?
[20:39] <micahg> I thought it was down to just over a day on teh pandas
[20:40] <micahg> yep, ~31 hours
[20:40] <bryceh> Sweetshark, I've emailed you what LP sent back.  For some reason it didn't pick up the various tar.gz files
[20:40] <bryceh> (did you run debuild -S -sa ?)
[20:46] <bryceh> going to run it through pbuilder and maybe a ppa first, for now.
[20:47] <bryceh> Sweetshark, out of curiousity, how is testing handled with libreoffice uploads for ubuntu?
[20:47] <Sweetshark> bryceh: gah, yes. I didnt switch back to -sa for the new upstream upload.
[20:48] <Sweetshark> mom
[20:48] <ScottK> micahg: 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.
[20:49] <bryceh> Sweetshark, also, even with the -sa added my pbuilder is croaking on it
[20:50] <bryceh> (which admittedly might be local pbuilder borkage)
[20:51]  * bryceh chucks it into ppa:bryce/lo-3.5.1
[20:52] <Sweetshark> bryceh: 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.)
[20:55] <Sweetshark> (the pbuilders are kicked off from a jenkins instance)
[20:56] <Ampelbein> mfisch: re-ping!
[20:57] <bryceh> hmm, my pbuilder still operates on X packages ok
[20:59] <bryceh> libexttextcat-dev (>= 3.1.1) maybe?
[21:01] <mfisch> Ampelbein: I have an update on a ftbfs that you worked on bug #935385
[21:01] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 935385 in python-djvulibre (Debian) "python-djvulibre version 0.3.3-1 FTBFS on i386 in precise" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/935385
[21:01] <mfisch> Ampelbein: unfortunately, I don't know how to proceed, I'm not sure I have the ability to pull and then post a new upstream version
[21:03] <Ampelbein> mfisch: Everyone can pull current packaging and propose a merge via the sponsorship process.
[21:03] <Ampelbein> mfisch: Let me quickly check that report.
[21:17]  * Sweetshark watches ppa build
[21:24] <Sweetshark> bryceh: the ppa seems to build, doesnt it? did it break earlier at your local pbuilder?
[21:26] <bryceh> Sweetshark, yeah looks like it's doing better in the ppa
[21:26] <bryceh> Sweetshark, yeah in pbuilder it terminates on unsatisfied deps, even after freshly updating it.  One of the packages is 'uninstallable'
[21:28] <bryceh>                                  Depends: libexttextcat-dev (>= 3.1.1) but it is not installable
[21:28] <lborda> Hi 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?
[21:29] <bryceh> lborda, collect backtrace, file a bug
[21:29] <Sweetshark> bryceh: strange, I remember having that too, but it was transitional.
[21:30] <bryceh> libexttextcat-dev  precise  3.2.0-1ubuntu1
[21:30] <lborda> bryceh, should I use use ubuntu-bug unity ?
[21:30] <bryceh> lborda, yes
[21:30] <lborda> alright tks
[21:30] <Sweetshark> bryceh: libexttextcat was only recently MIRed, maybe your mirror does somehow missed out on that?
[21:30] <bryceh> ah, could be
[21:30] <Sweetshark> s/does/did/
[21:30] <bryceh> yep, showing it in universe
[21:32] <bryceh> Sweetshark, this is pulling from us.archive.ubuntu.com

[21:33] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 938582 in libexttextcat (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libexttextcat" [Undecided,Fix released]
[21:33] <micahg> well, nothing is depending on it
[21:34] <micahg> oh, hmm, there is a recommends
[21:34]  * micahg wonders why that's not on component-mismatches
[21:40]  * Sweetshark is a bit confused by the MIR being "Fix Released", although it is not in main yet.
[21:44] <slangasek> Sweetshark: because pitti promoted it to main before it was seeded, which means the next archive admin to come along demoted it back to universe ;)
[21:45] <Sweetshark> slangasek: nasty archive admins!
[21:45] <Sweetshark> slangasek: should I reopen the MIR?
[21:45] <slangasek> no
[21:45] <slangasek> is there something that pulls it into main now?
[21:45] <bryceh> slangasek, libreoffice
[21:46] <slangasek> i.e., has the LibO that uses it been uploaded?
[21:46] <bryceh> slangasek, no, it doesn't build in my pbuilder due to the missing dep, so I've hesistated uploading it
[21:46] <slangasek> ah
[21:46] <slangasek> bryceh: can you turn universe on for testing in your pbuilder?
[21:46] <slangasek> although... how long is a build test of this going to take? :)
[21:46] <bryceh> slangasek, I popped it into a ppa where it appears to be building ok
[21:46] <slangasek> ok
[21:47] <Sweetshark> slangasek: I am always building in a pbuilder here fwiw
[21:47] <slangasek> yeah - component mismatches don't block being able to build with pbuilder
[21:47] <slangasek> it's just bryce's particular pbuilder config
[21:47] <slangasek> anyhoo
[21:47] <slangasek> if someone gets that uploaded to precise, I can take care of the promotion straight away
[21:48] <bryceh> slangasek, build logs going @ https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/lo-3.5.1/+packages
[21:48] <bryceh> slangasek, shall I wait until that ppa has finished building, or does it look ok to send it in now?
[21:48] <Sweetshark> slangasek: 15min for the source, 2:10h for the binary build with ccache (on a quad i7 notebook with 16GB RAM). 3:30h without ccache.
[21:49] <slangasek> bryceh: I would be inclined to upload it straight away
[21:49] <bryceh> slangasek, 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] <slangasek> what's the build-time on armel?
[21:50] <bryceh> slangasek, alright.  I'm comfortable with that given Sweetshark's testing practices
[21:51] <bryceh> micahg, your thoughts?  still think it being friday is a red flag?
[21:52] <slangasek> bryceh: if the world explodes after you upload, are you going to be around to help clean it up? ;)
[21:52] <micahg> slangasek: arm* build time on the pandas is 31 hours
[21:52]  * slangasek nod
[21:52] <slangasek> so I think it would be a good idea to get it built over the weekend
[21:52] <Sweetshark> fyi, the oneiric backport ppa builds took 6:38h on i386 and and 6:40h on amd64.
[21:52] <micahg> right, 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 it
[21:52] <bryceh> slangasek, I'll be gone much of the day Saturday but am here for the next 4 hrs at least
[21:52] <Sweetshark> arm build time is why I would like to have this in before the weekend ;)
[21:53] <slangasek> I can keep an eye out tomorrow
[21:53]  * micahg would think with the package's history, it would be more prudent to upload very early monday
[21:54] <micahg> i386/amd64 hit Monday, everything else tuesday
[21:54] <micahg> but if there's coverage for breakage, then it doesn't matter when
[21:55] <Sweetshark> its 2300 local here. I can be around tommorrow till around noon but not later. sunday i could be on guard.
[21:56] <bryceh> I'd be willing to pop in to do the upload Saturday night my time.  Should only take a few minutes, not a big deal
[21:56] <bryceh> not sure what plans I have for sunday, but probably will be checking in periodically
[21:57] <Sweetshark> bryceh: that would be great. I would be around to take the bullets when it finishes then ...
[21:59] <micahg> Sweetshark: re libexttextcat> sometimes, things get promoted prematurely, but then get demoted since nothing depends on it
[21:59] <micahg> they
[22:00] <micahg> * they're supposed to remain Fix Committed until it's seeded or depended on
[22:00] <micahg> but there is a recommends in this case, so I have no idea
[22:00] <Sweetshark> micahg: k
[22:01] <Sweetshark> just leaving stuff as is then for now
[22:01] <mterry> Is there an easy way to test software under a VPN?  (like a demo VPN test server somewhere?)
[22:01] <Sweetshark> micahg, bryceh, slangasek: thank you very much.
[22:01]  * Sweetshark wanders of for the night.
[22:01] <bryceh> Sweetshark, great sounds like a plan, will pick it up Sat night
