[00:14] pitti: I'm told that bug #639616 is also getting false client-side dupes now from apport [00:14] Launchpad bug 639616 in aptdaemon (Ubuntu) "aptd crashed with AttributeError in _inline_callbacks()" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/639616 [00:14] which is somewhat supported by the recent comment traffic [01:52] What is the mechanism a program uses to notify the unity bar to highlight its icon? [01:53] tohuw: The standard ICCCM needs-attention hint. [01:53] I want to report a wishlist for firefox, and was trying to be helpfully specific [01:54] RAOF: So, if I wanted to say that I'd like to see firefox highlight its icon on the unity bar when a new tab opens while it is in the background, I'd say something to the effect of "Have Firefox Evoke the needs-attention Hint When Tabs are Opened while Minimized"? [01:55] (yes, I realize I could just say "make it turn orange", but I like to learn a little something each time I file a wishlist) [01:55] That'd be abount right, yes. Except that “minimised” is a technical term that's not the same as “in the background” :) [01:56] Yes, I was just thinking about that. "While in the Background" is better, or is there a specific term preferred for that state? [01:57] incidentally, RAOF, did you really surround those words with three question marks, or is my client botching a smart quotes ASCII character? [01:57] Your client is failing at unicode, it would seem. [01:59] tohuw: "When not focused" would be the technical term, but it actually doesn't matter; the needs-attention hint is only acted on when the window that needs attention *doesn't* have focus, so it's safe to just set it. [01:59] Hmm, better go file with Smuxi then... failing at unicode in an irc client! -.- [01:59] tohuw: The more likely scenario is that you don't have a proper UTF-8 locale set where your backend is. [02:00] RAOF: oh, that's cool. So Firefox could be set so that it evokes the hint anytime a new tab is opened, and that would only highlight it when it is not focused? [02:00] ♪ This is smuxi right here… ♫ [02:00] tohuw: That's my understanding of it, yes. [02:00] Question marks everywhere. :'( [02:01] Thanks. I suppose I'll file it on launchpad, then see if a maintainer wants it sent upstream [02:01] Since it's a standard, it seems this is something Mozilla could do in source, unless this has varied results in other environments (I guess it shouldn't?) [02:02] It shouldn't. [02:03] How do you manage to get new tabs opened when firefox doesn't have focus, though? [02:03] Many ways. Easiest to quickly replicate: open a PDF, click a link in the PDF. New tab opens in FF but it doesn't take focus. [02:04] Ah, right. [02:04] I actually like that it doesn't take focus, I don't like that it doesn't raise a hint [02:09] (reposting from main channel): Since /etc/firefox/profile is gone, is there any way to define default bookmarks for new accounts other than manually editing /usr/lib/firefox-/omni.ja ? [02:24] RAOF: Can I trouble you for the Unicode character reference for the symbols you were typing that didn't render in my IRC client? Or, if you like, you can simply email them to me. (/q me for address) [02:25] tohuw: u266a & u266b were two of them. But I'm pretty sure you'll find this is a configuration error on the system that's hosting the smuxi-server; that's what it was when I had a similar problem. [02:26] RAOF: Ah! perhaps... I'm hosting it on a local server here running 12.04, but the server's fairly fresh out of the box... I may need some unicode-related package [02:27] (local to my network, not the same host as the laptop running the client) [02:27] details... [02:27] tohuw: Feel like pastebinning env? (Or just $LANG) [02:27] Sure, sec [02:28] RAOF: hrm, how do I post my env? It is not how I thought it would be [02:29] Run env, copy the output to a pastebin manually? [02:29] RAOF: oh. #tryingtoohard [02:32] RAOF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/946682/ [02:33] That looks right; you don't get any locale-related warnings when you run things there (like dpkg, or debconf?) [02:34] Nope [02:34] Just ran dpkg a few moments ago. [02:34] I could connect back with the local engine and try to replicate [02:35] RAOF: hit me [02:35] ♪ [02:35] success [02:35] it's the server enginee [02:35] engine [02:43] ¡Win!

[07:29] godmachine81: The ‘unity’ source package contains information about the build-dependencies. [07:30] But, basically, you can do the same as you do with a random piece of open source - try and build it, and see what it complains about not finding :) [07:32] RAOF:: yea i have done that, but there is a weird issue with the utouch deps [07:32] RAOF:: and i couldn't find any documentation.. i got one thing to build, but it wouldn't install. some gibberish about python. but i tried it with a few different python abis [07:33] Hm. [07:33] What distro are you trying it on? I believe that Fedora have the utouch stack packaged now, so it's clearly not impossible :) [07:33] and not much information on the configure options to maybe just disable utouch [07:33] RAOF:: gentoo [07:34] I don't think you can disable utouch integration. [07:34] what exactly is utouch? [07:34] and nux? [07:34] The gesture stack, built on multitouch. [07:35] nux is a 3D engine/widget library ish. [07:35] thats what i assumed it was, why can that not be disabled if building for a desktop? [07:35] ^utouch that is [07:36] Because that's effort that's not useful to us. [07:36] Basically. [07:36] hrm.. so building something for touch integration is packaged in with your desktop binaries? isn't that a useless in most cases? [07:37] You'd be surprised how many laptops have touchpads :) [07:37] oh i thought you meant it was for touch as in touch screen [07:37] Yeah, it's also for that. [07:38] smoser: hi [07:38] i've not seen any options in unity for gestures / touch customization, where are the settings hidden at? [07:39] There aren't any. [07:39] You just get a selection 3- and 4-finger gestures. [07:39] i see [07:39] quiet a big dep hell to resolve for such a useless feature lol [07:40] i think it may have been intentional that it ended up that way though [07:41] No; it's just that it's not a dependency problem *for us* because we've obviously packaged the stack, and have done for some time. [07:42] The gestures are also really nice if you've got a multitouch or semi-multitouch trackpad; the apple magic trackpad is good for that. [07:46] smoser: whats the story with this cloud-init thing supposely updating sources.list based on timezone?

Certainly rsyslog starts before the SysV compat layer starts so assuming it just adds some arbitrarily default ordering, your SysV service should work in this case. What service is it out of interest? [09:18] jodh: aha, great. its unattended-upgrades, I'm trying to get data on why it appears to ahng on shutdown for some people (might well be not a issue with u-u itself but just the last message printed) [09:30] When wiil we hit Freeze for Unseeded applications?

[09:58] pitti: I upgraded my laptop a few days ago and it dealt with my local mirror fine. [10:00] it doesn't seem to apply to all or even most users indeed [10:01] skaet: ^ do you know why this was chosen to be added to the release notes? === doko_ is now known as doko [10:09] infinity, did you give back the armhf gcc-4.7 build? apparently it died. do you know why? [10:15] doko: In toolchain-r? [10:15] infinity, yes [10:15] doko: I did no giving back, and didn't see the previous log. :/ [10:26] jodh: I just tested this and it appears that rsyslog goes away quicker than my stop script runs so any logging in the stop script gets lost - can you think of anything other than a converting to a upstart job to add a dependency? i.e. to ensure that on stop of unattended-upgrades rsyslogd is still running? [10:26] pitti: there maybe a corner case for mixed local and official mirrors, but official archive and only-local mirrors should be fine [10:27] mvo: ok, thanks; I dropped it from the release notes then [10:27] mvo: ah - shutdown :) I'd echo direct to a tty device then. [10:28] jodh: yes, that works, it would still be nice to have it in a logfile for inspecting errors [10:28] mvo: you testing in kvm? [10:28] jodh: i.e. to get a idea why it might have hung [10:28] jodh: yes [10:29] mvo: boot with "-serial file:/tmp/foo.log" and then have your service "echo stuff > /dev/ttyS0". [10:29] jodh: thanks, that would work, but I'm looking for a solution that I can put into the package so that I can ask users for their syslog file [10:30] I guess I could simply add a normal log file and not use syslog [10:31] mvo: that might be the best option for simplicity as shutdown logging is tricky due to the /etc/init.d/sendsigs machine gun. === akgraner` is now known as akgraner [10:44] 'pull-lp-source ' fails - hilariously, this is a bug specific to (>= ?) release day [10:44] (in distro-info) [10:46] jodh: thanks, I added that now [10:48] yeah, when there's not a development release it doesn't work so well === cking is now known as cking-afk === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch === jml` is now known as jml [11:22] cjwatson: there's a 0-day NMU for that sitting in -updates [11:22] err in -proposed [11:25] tumbleweed: good, thanks [11:26] it'd be nice to get that accepted quickly...

I'll see whether I can find a more suitable one for you, hang on. [16:19] well, I really want to replace the desktop background with a canvas element/opengl canvas/panel/etc. I think I'd have to change lightdm for that... right?

I am a computer science student looking for an internship, and got contacted by a company that says they are a VOIP company that makes configurations for phones, uses spreadsheets and visio to make designs, and talks to customers sets up phone systems forthem. Is this a good internship for a CS student or is it a waste of time? [18:11] If the internship involves programming, it's probably not a huge waste of time for a CS student... (Just my 2 cents) [18:12] h2p: We won't know. Some companies have good positions, others don't. This has nothing to do with ubuntu development, though. [18:26] barry, what is the color code for the python3 spreadsheet? [18:27] mterry: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/FoundationsQPythonVersions [18:29] barry, ah thanks [18:29] mterry: np [18:30] barry, though... really should have had purple as the Canonical background... /me sics marketing on you [18:30] :) [18:30] :-D [18:30] mterry: why isn't that a default color choice for goononical docs? :) === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [18:34] barry, good question [18:41] barry, my read of http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ implies that /bin/python should point to python3 if no python2 exists, but the plan is to not have it at all until you install python2? [18:43] mterry: i don't read the pep that way (i don't think that's its intent), but what languages leads you to that? [18:43] barry, third Recommendation bullet point and first Migration one === herton_ is now known as herton [18:45] mterry: i'm nearly certain that isn't the intent of the pep. i guess in some sense we won't "provide python2 by default", but in reality we do. it may not come on a pure fresh install from desktop, but i think pretty quickly if you install much software, you'll get python2, and it will be the default python [18:46] barry, OK. Third Recommendation just made me think that the PEP always wanted /bin/python to be present [18:48] mterry: i'm not going to do it now, but at some point, i'll bring up pep 394 in relationship to our plans. i'll push back hard against any intent to have pep 394 force us to point /usr/bin/python at python3 [18:48] barry, yar. I like the idea of the world always being explicit about python versions [18:49] mterry: +1 [18:52] where would I find the source code for the System Settings App? [18:54] amarunowski, apt-get source gnome-control-center [18:54] thanks :3 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [19:10] pitti: regarding bug #902603, i think it's still broken for oneiric->precise upgrades. [19:10] Launchpad bug 902603 in taglib (Ubuntu Precise) "When installing Multi-Arch: same (meta-)package for two architectures, dpkg considers one arch as completely disappeared" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/902603 [19:14] hyperair: if you don't apply the SRU updates first like the release notes warn you to, certainly [19:14] slangasek: aah. [19:14] slangasek: does anyone actually read those? [19:14] * hyperair doesn't, as a desktop user [19:14] i might if i was managing a server though. [19:15] you don't read the release notes, and you don't make sure you have updates installed before doing a release upgrade? :) [19:15] slangasek: can we make the updater in oneiric warn to apply updates first if it doesn't already? [19:15] yeah, i think that would be best [19:15] i thought it did warn that [19:15] since like 2008 [19:15] slangasek: i'd assume that i could skip that step. (who cares about one or two security fixes if you're going to override them again anyway?) [19:16] ohgodifeelold [19:16] slangasek: you truly old-hats must feel REALLY old when you can refer to "oh yeah back in hoary...." [19:16] micahg: I'm not sure how straightforward that is [19:16] maco: I wasn't involved with hoary ;) [19:17] maybe bdmurray or mvo can speak to that point [19:17] * ogra_ was around since warty ... [19:18] but please dont ask me when u-m started to warn :p [19:19] slangasek: oh, when did you add an ubuntu feather to your debian hat? [19:19] gutsy [19:20] hi guys [19:20] ubuntu does not start after upgrade to 12.04. Get an "[drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed" error and a black screen. Never gets to login screen. (The way I entered now is by going "load old linux") [19:21] if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 does it take you to a prompt at least? [19:21] Didn't try that [19:21] I try to load an older kernel [19:21] it shows the sam error + some another one [19:21] numberto: you'll want to report a bug against the kernel package by running 'ubuntu-bug linux' and including the error messages [19:21] and then loads ubuntu [19:22] 9/win 15 [19:23] OK, never mind this. i will try to figure it out [19:23] another thing I found [19:23] I have about five icons in horizontal row [19:24] when I select them all and move very close to the bottom of the screen and release them [19:24] they all pack into one plac [19:24] e [19:24] numberto: please do report a bug. the drm error sounds like it's having a driver issue with your graphics. that is something *really* ought to be fixed [19:24] ok [19:25] But how do I report a but, if I cannot load ubuntu with current kernel [19:25] I start it with previous one [19:26] * maco looks at slangasek [19:28] Problem in linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic The problem cannot be reported: This is not official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again. [19:30] numberto: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug then [19:39] jamespage, do you have an URL for openjdk-7 ftbfs? [19:39] bug reports [19:40] doko: are we switching the default this cycle? [19:40] micahg, yes [20:01] doko, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Java7Default [20:01] cool, thanks! [20:08] barry, do you know much about pylint and python3 compatibility? it seems to not know about the new print method? [20:10] (gives me a syntax error on lines that have "file=sys.stderr") [20:18] mterry: i don't, mostly because i gave up on pylint. pyflakes usually tells me the most important things i need to know without all the false positives, and it seems pretty py3 friendly [20:18] barry, hmm, ok [20:20] barry, am I doing something dumb? Even pyflakes doesn't like the following: [20:20] #!/usr/bin/python3 [20:20] import sys [20:20] print('Testing', file=sys.stderr) [20:21] I guess I'm missing how to trigger python3 mode [20:21] mterry: wow. actually, it's not you. interestingly if you add `from __future__ import print_function` you make it happy [20:22] barry, sure, that makes sense, assuming the tool is python2-only [20:22] mterry: of course, that future import also works in python3, but it's not the same thing ;) [20:23] barry, yeah. I'll use that workaround for now, but good to know. Worried about other python3-isms that pyflakes/pylint don't get [20:25] mterry: bug 989203 [20:26] Launchpad bug 989203 in Pyflakes "pyflakes native support for Python 3" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/989203 [20:26] oh neat [20:26] well, i just filed that :) === tgall_x is now known as tgall_foo [20:44]
