[06:33] <ok2cqr> Hello,
[06:34] <ok2cqr> does anyone know how long does it take to delete files from my personal ppa after request, please?
[06:34] <ok2cqr> I did it about 10 hours ago and still getting error that files already exist
[06:35] <soaringsky> ok2cqr: you can try to delete them again. in my experience things get deleted quickly
[06:36] <ok2cqr> soaringsky: I don't see them in the package list
[06:36] <ok2cqr> but if i want to copy the same package from  other ppa, I get error that it already exists :-(
[06:36] <soaringsky> ok2cqr: strange. try asking in #launchpad
[06:37] <ok2cqr> I'll try, thank you
[10:17] <lifeless> pitti: btw, fixed the setuid() problem I was having
[10:17] <lifeless> pitti: added allow_other to the fuse mount rule
[10:18] <lifeless> pitti: so yeah, setuid seems to error when the cwd isn't accessible by the process
[10:26] <lifeless> pitti: mmm, spoke too soon :(
[10:30] <directhex> what do you call the opposite of a regression, where a totally unrelated fix seems to resolve a problem you're having?
[10:30] <lifeless> serendipity
[10:31] <directhex> of course, it's hard to +1 a fix in -proposed where you can't repro (and don't care about) the bug it fixes, but it seems to help an unrelated issue
[10:33] <lifeless> pitti: otoh I've gone to the simple chroot/setgid/setuid now and it works where it wasn't before, so I think allow_other is what I'm going to write it up as.
[15:25] <zaytsev> hi guys, i'm looking at the source code for usb-creator
[15:25] <zaytsev> is it possible to remove the filter that makes it show only the usb devices
[15:25] <zaytsev> i want to create an image from inside a virtual machine on a virtual sata drive
[15:26] <zaytsev> it is not shown however, because it's not an usb device
[15:26] <penguin42> zaytsev: Just apt-get source the package
[15:27] <zaytsev> penguin42: right, so i did, but where is the trick? i'm looked at the backed code, but didn't find it. now trying to understand how the gtk frontend is working
[15:28] <penguin42> zaytsev: Hey I don't know - not looked at it
[15:28] <cjwatson> --show-all
[15:29] <cjwatson> zaytsev: ^- IIRC
[15:29] <cjwatson> or possibly --allow-system-internal, one of those
[15:32] <zaytsev> cjwatson: you are too awesome!!! thanks again, this is exactly what i wanted. now i can also see the filtering in _add_partition...
[15:59] <pitti> lifeless: interesting, I didn't know that setuid() would check the directory; but I guess it makes sense, otherwise the user could see a potentially inaccessible dir

[17:34] <dholbach> broder, happy birthay! :)
[17:34] <broder> dholbach: thanks :)
[17:34] <broder> (are you here?)
[17:35] <dholbach> broder, that depends on where exactly you are :)
[17:35] <broder> err, "in oakland" :)
[17:35] <dholbach> yes :)
[17:35] <ogra_> heh
[17:35] <broder> awesome
[17:35] <dholbach> room 201 :)
[17:44] <Laney> uh oh
[17:46] <ajmitch> so birthday party for the MOTU BOF?
[17:46] <broder> haha. i'll consider allowing it if we finish early :-P
[17:48] <penguin42> I hear birthday parties at conferences can be messy
[17:57] <rsalveti> ogra_: great

[18:59] <melodie> hi
[19:01] <melodie> I have finished my first package, with openbox-menu in it, and registered to 2 places where I will try to find devs likely to be interested in openbox and dynamic menus generation. (the mentors ml and a place where I registered as maintainer for this package). if someone here is interested to try the package I can provide a link to the build dir tarball.
[19:04] <melodie> is there someone here who likes Openbox as a standalone destkop ?
[19:04] <melodie> desktop
[19:28] <sconklin> slangasek: seen this? http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
[19:29] <slangasek> sconklin: no - whee
[19:29] <slangasek> that looks... safe? :)
[19:29] <slangasek> xnox: ^^
[19:29] <broder> definitely not the word i would have chosen :-P
[19:29] <xnox> slangasek: noted
[19:30] <slangasek> xnox: what do you think of the idea of using it?  I guess it would provide only incremental benefit over ureadahead
[19:30] <micahg> sounds like the rat might steal the cheese and hide it in the wall
[19:31] <xnox> slangasek: do we have usecases where ureadahead does not work / not supported. need to read up on it.
[19:31] <slangasek> and ureadahead is a bit quicker...
[19:31] <slangasek> xnox: not AFAIK
[19:31] <slangasek> well, there are certain corner cases where the ureadahead pack isn't available early enough to do any good
[19:31] <slangasek> but that's not a case to cater for
[19:32] <xnox> slangasek: I want to know how they choose what to reallocate where and how different their logic is to the ureadahead
[19:33]  * slangasek nods
[19:33]  * xnox the typicall FLOSS question: ditch, switch or steal features
[19:37] <cnd> pitti, skaet, slangasek: on bug 968845 there is an xserver-xorg-input-synaptics task that is fix released in quantal
[19:37] <cnd> there is no precise series task
[19:37] <cnd> when I try to nominate, precise isn't available
[19:38] <cnd> any ideas what's going on?
[19:38] <micahg> cnd: are you in the ubuntu task context?
[19:39] <cnd> micahg, yes
[19:39] <cnd> I worry that in the p->q transition something got messed up
[19:39] <cnd> like there was a p series task
[19:39] <cnd> and it's magically disappeared
[19:40] <slangasek> cnd: yes - not magically, someone must've clicked the button to remove it
[19:40] <slangasek> you're needing to SRU this package for the bug?
[19:40] <cnd> yes
[19:40]  * slangasek tries something
[19:40] <slangasek> cnd: I've deleted the other 'p' task, which has only made things worse
[19:40] <slangasek> I was hoping it would make 'p' available again for targeting... it did not
[19:41] <slangasek> cnd: escalate to Launchpad, please; this is basically an LP regression introduced by the added support for deleting bug tasks
[19:41] <cnd> slangasek, ok
[19:41] <cnd> thanks
[19:42] <infinity> Oh, that's a special behaviour...
[19:43] <slangasek> yes
[19:43]  * micahg guesses it might be possible to set through the API
[20:02] <Robint91> hi all
[20:35] <Robint91> I want to investigate something
[20:35] <Robint91> this bug report
[20:35] <Robint91> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/996176
[20:45] <melodie> hi
[20:45] <melodie> I have sent a request for sponsor at Debian mentors ml
[20:45] <melodie> http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/05/msg00088.html
[20:46] <melodie> for the package jtaylor and a few other persons helped me do yesterday.
[20:46] <melodie> just wanted to let it know. :)
[23:23] <spena> what team do I have to be member of to edit UDS etherpad documents ?
[23:25] <ogra_> spena, just having an LP account should be enough
[23:25] <spena> ogra_, thanks, I have an account
[23:25] <spena> ogra_, and I am signed in
[23:26] <tumbleweed> spena, ogra_: no it's not enough. you need to be added to the ubuntu-etherpad group
[23:26] <ogra_> make sure you are logged in ;)
[23:26] <tumbleweed> ask in #ubuntu-uds
[23:26] <spena> tumbleweed, thanks, I will ask there
[23:26] <spena> ogra_, thanks to you too
[23:26] <ogra_> tumbleweed, ah, i knew someone else would know details if i answert ;)
[23:26] <tumbleweed> :)
[23:27] <tumbleweed> all developers and loco teams are added to that group already
[23:27] <spena> tumbleweed: I'm not an ubuntu developer, so maybe that's why I cannot see it
[23:28] <tumbleweed> other people are added on request
[23:30] <melodie> gn
[23:30] <melodie> oh tumbleweed !
[23:31] <melodie> news : I have done the package for openbox-menu and done the other steps to ask for a sponsor at the debian mentors ml
[23:31] <melodie> thought you would want to know
[23:31] <melodie> gn now
[23:34]  * ogra_ hugs pitti ... thanks for the gles compiz in -updates :)
[23:42] <pitti> slangasek, cnd: yeah, once you delete a task you can never bring it back unfortunately
[23:42] <pitti> I accepted the SRU without a precise task now
