voipguyI am trying to connect to a FreeNAS directory from a box running Ubuntu Linux (Natty version) and for some reason if I get close to about 500 files in one directory on the FreeNAS server, Ubuntu simply refuses to let me access it.  None of my other computers seem to have a problem accessing it, just the Ubuntu-based one.  I'd really like to know why, and if there's anything I can do about it.04:01

penguin42does anyone know what the libreoffice-* in p-proposed is supposed to fix?  It's changelog seems to be a circular link14:11
normatifis PAE enabled kernel the default now?14:15
penguin42yes14:15
normatifwhen I logged in, a warning popped up about incomplete language support. I clicked OK, Language Support downloaded some files, now I see 2 Chinese locales in addition to English. Is this normal?14:18
normatifstart Language Support, on Language tab scroll down the list of 'Language for menus and windows', do you see a Chinese line at the end?14:23
penguin42does anyone have a pp install without proposed to check if bug 990518 is new in the proposed  ?14:29
ubot2Launchpad bug 990518 in libreoffice "circular link: /usr/share/doc/uno-libs3/changelog.Debian.gz" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/99051814:29
RoboGenI updated 12.04 and eclipse stopped working correctly. I fixed it by using 'sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt' but it's just kind of an odd error14:52
penguin42RoboGen: I don't know enough about Eclipse to know what should happen, but I agree - every time the package upgrades it breaks for me14:53
RoboGenYea, happened during the 11.04 upgrade too14:54
RoboGenodd why it would do that14:54
penguin42I think it has it's own inbuilt upgrade system and packaging system that fights with the ubuntu one, but I'm new to this whole Java/Eclipse game14:58
RoboGenYes, I think you have a point there. From what I can tell, the Eclipse available through Ubuntu Software Center and the Eclipse available through the website are different. Follow different upgrade routes. And haha, I'm fairly new too15:02
RoboGenoh, wait, nevermind. Eclipse broke again15:03
normatifdon't mix the two, either stick to Ubuntu repos or the tarball from Eclipse site15:08
RoboGenwhy does mixing them break the program? Seems like they should be able to interact15:09
penguin42normatif: It's not just using the tar, Eclipse has an inbuilt upgrade system which it sometimes pulls things in when you install other stuff15:10
RoboGen*side note* starting eclipse with sudo permissions has 'fixed' it15:11
normatifand you did a bad thing.15:12
RoboGeni know...15:12
normatifpenguin42: the tarball Eclipse puts everything under one folder, it does not distribute things under /usr, /usr/lib, etc15:13
RoboGenOh, so when you mix the Software Center with tarball plugins, they're looking in completely different folders15:14
penguin42normatif: OK, I've never used the tar ball - but if you install the Ubuntu package and then install some other stuff via Eclipse's plugin mechanism it often breaks when Ubuntu's package upgrades15:15
RoboGenCouldn't that be because the eclipse package may be a little outdated? I just updated (with sudo permissions) and everything is working now15:16
RoboGenupdated within eclipse i mean15:16
normatifpenguin42: can you even install plugins within Eclipse without sudo?15:17
penguin42normatif: Yes15:17
penguin42normatif: It does something in your home directory15:17
penguin42normatif: I only know from trying Android dev15:17
RoboGenIt installs them to the .eclipse directory in your home folder15:17
normatifwell, honestly I've never used eclipse from Ubuntu repos. Because it depends on a slow JRE, not Sun's JRE15:18
normatif*Oracle's15:19
penguin42normatif: I use it with Soracle's15:19
RoboGennormatif: by 'slow' do you mean the OpenJDK?15:19
normatifRoboGen: gcj/iced-tea/whatever the name is nowadays, yes15:20
penguin42normatif: I think it uses openjdk now rather than gcj - and those are quite different15:20
RoboGenpenguin42: can't it work with Oracle's jdk? I'm working with the Java7jdk right now15:21
penguin42RoboGen: I haven't tried for a while, it was rather broken with 7 a few months back, might have improved since15:25
RoboGenpenguin42: ah, I see. I just changed to it, so I haven't noticed anything too broken15:30
normatifCan someone please run 'locale -a|grep zh_'  from a terminal and tell if any output is printed?16:11
penguin42normatif: I get no output16:14
normatifpenguin42: ubuntu version?16:15
penguin42normatif: 12.0416:16
normatifpenguin42: when you start System Settings>Language Support, do/did you get a message box about missing support files?16:18
penguin42normatif: I'm running KDE so I don't know if I have that16:18
penguin42no, don't seem to - the equivalent KDE setting just lists American English as available languages (which is curious since I thought it was running UK English)16:19
penguin42(Heck the calendaring options in KDE are nuts  - I could run with a Julian calendar!)16:20
normatifanyway.. this is what I get from gnome-language-selector http://i46.tinypic.com/2d0b4np.jpg, i.e. although Chinese is not selected it exists in the list, and Regional Formats also show 2 Chinese locales16:33
normatifand locale -a also reports them16:33
* penguin42 doesn't know much about locales16:37
normatifok, it's already reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96031416:47

spartan-11510Hi everybody. yesterday a person axplain me how to create fix. I understand all and now i can reproduce it. So i tried to fix a translation bug but it doesn't work, my patch wont applied18:22
spartan-11510This page help me https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix but i'm stuck, really want to fix this error it's in hello package for french version18:23
spartan-11510Anybody can help me18:24
EvilResistancewhich package are you trying to fix?18:24
spartan-11510hello2.7-218:24
spartan-11510it's translation error in file "po/fr.po"18:25
EvilResistancegot a bug number and a patch file?18:25
spartan-11510https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hello/+bug/98994618:26
ubot2Launchpad bug 989946 in hello "Incorrect translation" [Undecided,In progress]18:26
spartan-11510and patch file it's in attachment but i want to learn how i can make the fix18:26
spartan-11510i put in progress because i want  to make the fix18:26
EvilResistancewell the fix'd need to be done via packaging18:27
EvilResistanceso you'd need experience with packaging to test the fix18:27
EvilResistancebut to *upload* the fix is a different story :p18:27
spartan-11510yes i've a little packaging, i must to create new package so18:27
EvilResistanceactually you might not need tgo18:28
* EvilResistance works a decent bit in packaging18:28
EvilResistancelemme load up my Ubuntu box, take a look at the source packagfe18:28
spartan-11510for upload i can ask to the motu for upload  i think18:28
EvilResistancei'm not sure about that, you might need a sponsor18:28
EvilResistancelemme load up my Ubuntu box, and dissect the package ;P18:28
spartan-11510sorry i don't understand your last message18:29
EvilResistancebasically: lemme reboot and try and apply the patch locally to a copy of the package which I can obtain from Launchpad18:30
* EvilResistance is on a Windows machine because he was working with ASP.NET for work18:30
spartan-11510lemme? what is this word, and sorry my mom call me for diner18:30
spartan-11510but i you say what i understand sure make that ><18:31
EvilResistanceah i forgot the translation thing... "lemme" = 'let me'18:33
EvilResistance(American slangish)18:33
spartan-11510Re19:12
spartan-11510evilresistance: are you on Ubuntu19:13
EvilResistanceyeah, one sec19:13
EvilResistancespartan-11510:  i'm on Natty, though, this drive can't handle an upgrade atm19:13
EvilResistancegive me a few seconds19:14
spartan-11510oh it's ame error on natty19:14
EvilResistances/seconds/minutes19:14
EvilResistancespartan-11510:  natty's not getting updated iwth it :P19:14
EvilResistancejust lemme work for a few minutes19:14
spartan-11510ok no-problem i've all night ><19:14
EvilResistancespartan-11510:  take a look at your bug.19:34
EvilResistancei've subscribed the Sponsors team to get them to upload the bug, and I attached a debdiff19:34
spartan-11510yes19:34
EvilResistances/bug/fix/19:34
EvilResistanceit might need updating in Debian, but the sponsors team can figure that out19:35
* EvilResistance can't forward stuff to Debian, for some really odd reason19:35
spartan-11510but when i try to create a package with my patch, he build the package without patch19:36
EvilResistancei know19:36
EvilResistancewhat you need to do is navigate to the package source directory first19:36
spartan-11510yes19:36
EvilResistancesay, hello2.7-1 or w/e it is19:36
EvilResistanceand do quilt import /path/to/patch19:36
EvilResistancethen build19:37
* EvilResistance did that step for you and generated the debdiff, and subscribed ubuntu-sponsors to the bug19:37
EvilResistanceyou'll get the credit, though, its your patch19:37
* EvilResistance just helped19:37
EvilResistancejust creating a patch and not importing it with 'quilt import' won't get it built19:38
EvilResistancewith the patch19:38
spartan-11510i make with "bzr branch lp:ubuntu/precise/hello"19:38
EvilResistanceah, well that's the source code...19:38
EvilResistancedifferent objects19:39
EvilResistancewhen you want to apply a fix to a package already in the thing, you have to subscribe ubuntu-sponsors and include (ideally) the debdiff19:39
EvilResistances/the thing/the main repository/19:39
EvilResistanceso by adding your patch using `quilt import`, and then building the  package locally and generating the debdiff (and attaching that debdiff to the bug) you will more than likely get it updated19:40
EvilResistanceexcept, of course, if the debdiff needs to be applied in Debian...19:41
penguin42EvilResistance: Well you can do your fix on a lp branch, push your branch back and then mark the bug for reviewing and it'll get automagically linked to the bug report if you do it rihgt19:41
EvilResistancepenguin42:  true.19:41
EvilResistance(but the debdiff wasnt there on that package, and for package sponsorship, they like debdiffs :P)19:41
EvilResistances/package/bug/19:41
EvilResistancepenguin42:  spartan-11510 would need the assist with that, but all that was attached to Bug 989946 was a patch file, not a debdiff (which the sponsors team likes)19:42
ubot2Launchpad bug 989946 in hello "Incorrect translation" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/98994619:42
spartan-11510sorry i'm french so i need time to understand all of you say :)19:43
EvilResistanceno problem, penguin42 and I are just arguing.19:43
EvilResistance:P19:43
penguin42hehe19:44
* EvilResistance goes to beat his 'debdiff' command to automatically include --exclude changelog so he doesnt accidentially upload changelog entries with his debdiffs19:45
spartan-11510so quilt generate a debdiff?19:48
EvilResistanceno19:51
EvilResistancequilt just adds your patch to the list of patches to apply during package building19:51
EvilResistancebut does not automatically generate the debdiff19:51
EvilResistancethe debdiff is the difference between package versions19:51
spartan-11510but i make the same action with bzr commit no?19:51
EvilResistancepenguin42:  can you explain the difference between the bzr code and Debian packages?19:52
EvilResistancei'm up to my neck in hell because a server cluster just went down and i'm on call to fix it19:52
penguin42I'll try, but I'm not fluent in it - I only do it a few times19:53
penguin42spartan-11510: bzr is a source code repository system, you can commit changes to a set of source, and then upload that 'branch' to launchpad and tell launchpad that it's a fix for a particular bug19:54
spartan-11510ok i understand that19:54
spartan-11510and i understand the difference, quilt say at pbuilder "warn you need to apply qthis patch" i'm right?19:55
penguin42I can't rememeber how quilt and pbuilder interact19:56
penguin42I thought if you added the patch with quilt then pbuilder should apply it when it tries to build it19:56
* EvilResistance returns19:56
EvilResistanceyou knwo what i hate19:56
EvilResistancedumb people who trip over cables (thus causing power outage to the servers)19:57
penguin42haha19:57
EvilResistanceANYWAYS19:57
spartan-11510:D19:57
EvilResistancequilt and pbuilder interact by package format19:57
penguin42EvilResistance: Remember to remove some of the insulation on the cable - they'll learn about it then19:57
EvilResistancethe package format for the `hello` package is "quilt"19:57
EvilResistancewhich means that patches need to be imported manually to quilt19:57
EvilResistanceusing quilt import19:57
EvilResistanceif you do not import the patch into the quilt series of patches to apply, it will not include the patch19:58
EvilResistanceso, you do two things:19:58
EvilResistance(1) create the patch file, save it somewhere19:58
EvilResistance(2) before building the package, do `quilt import /path/to/patch`19:58
EvilResistancewhich then says "Include this patch into the package building process"19:58
EvilResistanceif you don't import the patch, it'll just sit there and not process19:59
EvilResistance(since patches are applied based on their order in the debian/patches/series file, which is only to be edited by quilt automatically)19:59
penguin42indeed, you'd never hand edit the file and just put the patch in ahem19:59
EvilResistanceit gets confusing when you have 50 or more patches on a package (like the php5 package, which I patched to close a Debian and a LP bug)19:59
spartan-11510path/to/patch is the patch generated by diff -u or it's the file generated by bzr commit19:59
EvilResistancespartan-11510:  /path/to/patch would be the path to the diff you generated (and attached to your bug)20:00
EvilResistanceso when i applied the patch to the package for inclusion in debdiff, i downloaded the patch to the directory outside where i was packaging, then did `quilt import /path/to/patch` from within the source directory for the package20:01
EvilResistancegod needs to destroy laptop touchpads >.>20:01
EvilResistanceanyways, continuing...20:01
EvilResistancewhen I did that command, it told the system "Include this patch in the building of the package."20:02
EvilResistanceand it subsequently added the patch to debian/patches/ and added it to debian/patches/series20:02
EvilResistanceso that when the package is built, the code change is included.20:02
spartan-11510i have'nt a debian/patches/series20:03
EvilResistanceafter I built the package locally (with debuild -S, to generate the source package), I ran a debdiff on the old .dsc and the new .dsc (files relating to the versions of the package), and uploaded the debdiff20:03
spartan-11510only debian/patches20:03
EvilResistanceyou and i were using different code20:03
penguin42spartan-11510: Is there anything else in debian/patches?20:03
* EvilResistance downloaded the package off of the Repositories themselves, then extracted the code/package from that for editign20:03
EvilResistancelike i do with every backport i do xD20:03
spartan-11510i'm an idito i've series file...20:04
penguin42hehe it's OK, we all do that from time to time20:04
spartan-11510in fact idon't build my package with pbuilder but with debuild20:05
EvilResistanceehh...20:07
EvilResistancedebuild isnt good for building packages20:07
EvilResistancedebuild -S builds the source package, which I then build with pbuilder20:07
EvilResistance(for package testing)20:07
spartan-11510in fact i need to 1) create a patch of the bug20:08
spartan-115102) quilt the patch20:08
spartan-115103) build my package with debuild -s and upload on a ppa or build with pbuilder for testing package20:09
spartan-11510i'm right and if th test are good create and debdiff20:09
EvilResistancemhm20:09
EvilResistancebut of course, you'll need to read how to set up pbuilder, because it can be complicated ;P20:10
EvilResistancei usually use PPAs to test20:10
EvilResistance(after pbuilder)20:10
EvilResistancebut i'm weird like that, i like confirming that it builds :P20:10
spartan-11510you're not weird confirming are necessary :)20:11
spartan-11510i restart i make 1)bzr branch lp:ubuntu/precise/hello20:20
spartan-115102) quilt import ../patch20:20
spartan-115103) debuild -S < this fail http://paste.ubuntu.com/953486/20:20
* EvilResistance can't read french :P20:23
