| wgrant | Fudge: Which project? | 00:41 |
| vnguyen | Hi, has any ever had some problem with decrypting the GPG-key confirmation email, but managed to solve it? | 00:43 |
| wgrant | vnguyen: You need to copy the whole thing as plaintext, including the start and end lines like '-------BEGIN blah blah blah--------' | 00:43 |
| wgrant | vnguyen: You might have to view the source of the email -- Hotmail might be mangling it before you see it. | 00:44 |
| Fudge | wgrant vinux project, my user is fudge | 00:44 |
| Fudge | i am wishing to make the vinux team the owwner so others can manage it as well | 00:44 |
| wgrant | https://launchpad.net/vinux/+edit-people, or there's an edit icon next to the Maintainer field on https://launchpad.net/vinux | 00:45 |
| Fudge | wgrant there is an edit field with the project owner? i woudl change that? | 00:47 |
| wgrant | Fudge: Maintainer == Owner | 00:47 |
| Fudge | wgrant I wish to change it to vinux/ubuntu team, wil lthat be accepted? | 00:52 |
| wgrant | Fudge: Specify 'vinux' as the new maintainer, since that's the team name. | 00:53 |
| Fudge | forgive me, I am visually impaired. I see my name, username then logout button, next to that is vinuxproject. is that where I change it? | 00:53 |
| wgrant | Are you on +edit-people? | 00:54 |
| wgrant | https://launchpad.net/vinux/+edit-people is more likely to work in a CLI or screenreader-driven browser than the AJAX widget on https://launchpad.net/vinux | 00:54 |
| wgrant | There's a field labelled 'Maintainer' | 00:55 |
| wgrant | Enter 'vinux' in there | 00:55 |
| Fudge | yay thanks wgrant that is extremely helpful | 00:56 |
| wgrant | Excellent, you have indeed changed it. | 00:57 |
| Fudge | thanx mate :D | 00:57 |
| vnguyen | Does anyone have experience with the bug tracking email interface? I've send a bug-report via mail, but it bounced back with an error soemthing like 'you didn't sign the email' | 00:58 |
| wgrant | vnguyen: https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface | 00:58 |
| wgrant | vnguyen: You may have some difficulty using it with Hotmail's web client, because emails that change things (including creating a bug) need to be signed. | 00:58 |
| vnguyen | Hello all, has anyone encountered a problem with the bug email interface? | 03:09 |

| vnguyen | Hi all, I'm trying to use the bug tracker email interface. But my emails keep bouncing back with the same error "You need to sign your email" (or something like that) | 16:50 |
| vnguyen | Does anyone have any idea what might've caused this | 16:50 |
| vnguyen | ? | 16:50 |
| Nafallo | vnguyen: you need to sign your e-mail, I'd think. | 16:52 |
| Nafallo | vnguyen: as in, use your gpg-key. | 16:52 |
| Nafallo | vnguyen: please keep the conversation in channel, so someone else can help out if need be. | 16:53 |
| vnguyen | Oh, sorry. I'm just new to this IRC client | 16:54 |
| vnguyen | Ok, so I signed the message with "gpg --clearsign < email.txt > signed-email.txt" | 16:55 |
| vnguyen | that's the correct way to do it, isn't it? | 16:55 |
| Nafallo | no idea, personally. | 16:58 |
| Nafallo | I don't use launchpad much. | 16:58 |
| maxb | the normal way is to have gpg functionality in your mail client do it | 17:01 |
| vnguyen | I use webmail, which doesn't seem to offer that kind of functionality. Most importantly, I need this to be done via the command-line terminal | 17:02 |
| maxb | i don't know if copypaste from commandline gpg will produce quite the right format | 17:03 |
| Resistance | it will *work*, but its not reliable | 17:03 |
| * Resistance tried that when he didnt have working email, took 15 attempts before he said 'screw it' and installed thunderbird | 17:04 | |
| Resistance | and *then* it worked | 17:04 |
| Resistance | heck, even Evolution on Natty worked | 17:04 |
| vnguyen | Hah, what's thunderbird? | 17:04 |
| Resistance | Mozilla's free email client, no Exchange support ootb though | 17:05 |
| Resistance | (Exchange is glitchy and evil, so if you're using that, god help you) | 17:05 |
| vnguyen | No no, I dont use Exchange. Just use the 'mail' command | 17:05 |
| vnguyen | old fashion, I know~! | 17:05 |
| Resistance | ewwww | 17:06 |
| Resistance | postfix! </shun> | 17:06 |
| Resistance | or sendmail | 17:06 |
| * Resistance yawns | 17:06 | |
| Resistance | i must have forgotten my coffee this morning | 17:07 |
| * Resistance walks off to get a cup | 17:07 | |
| * Resistance returns with hot coffee. | 17:07 | |
| Resistance | anyways, the 'mail' command is kind of bleh | 17:07 |
| Resistance | doesnt come with PGP support, to be frank PGP support is usually controlled by a compatible email client | 17:07 |
| vnguyen | I know, but that's the only way (that I know of) to generate emails automatically | 17:07 |
| Resistance | its not, really | 17:08 |
| Resistance | and define "generate emails automatically" | 17:08 |
| Resistance | (ideally, GUI clients come with the support, perhaps alpine does, but meh) | 17:08 |
| vnguyen | Ok, so here's what I'm trying to do. I need to run a bunch of tests (200+), so I worte this small program to run all the tests, and if anything fails, report the bug via email | 17:08 |
| vnguyen | that's what I meant by "automatically" | 17:09 |
| vnguyen | But erm, if you have any idea (simpler, better :D) as to how to do this kind of stuff, I'm open to all suggessions! | 17:10 |
| Resistance | vnguyen: you'd need a system that can auto-use gpg to sign your messages. there's no system out there taht does that automatically, save for bug systems that don't use PGP encryption | 17:17 |
| Resistance | is there any particular reason you need to use Launchpad as the bugtracker? | 17:17 |
| Resistance | (I know of a few bugtrackers that don't require PGP encryption) | 17:17 |
| Resistance | s/PGP/gpg/ | 17:17 |
| vnguyen | Yes, it's where all the bugs I'm working with have been hosted. | 17:18 |
| vnguyen | So if the bug-tracker is the unchanged parameter, is there anything I could do differently to get this to work? | 17:25 |
| === Noldorin_ is now known as Noldorin | ||
| Resistance | vnguyen: apart from use a manual system, or find an email protocol or script/library/function that can natively handle PGP encrypted emails? | 18:50 |
| Resistance | (or write your own program, which i doubt you want to do) | 18:50 |
| Resistance | vnguyen: sorry for my disappearance, had to go acquire replacement system parts :P | 18:50 |
| vnguyen | that's ok/ :) | 18:51 |
| Resistance | however, in order to do a backup of my data, i'll have to hop off of here for now | 18:53 |
| * Resistance shall return with an alternate client | 18:53 | |
| vnguyen | ok, tahnks anyway! :D | 18:54 |
| EvilResistance | and i am back :P | 18:55 |
| * EvilResistance had to switch to a non-local client so the scrollbacks dont become ungodly | 18:55 | |
| vnguyen | uhm, I think I missed some parts. So you said if I manually do a 'gpg --clearsign ..." and copy and paste the thing into the email body, soemthing might get lost, right? | 19:00 |
| lifeless | vnguyen: LP supports DKIM signing too, if your domain is signed | 19:01 |
| lifeless | vnguyen: as for how to do GPG signing of mail, see the RFC - I'll dig its number up in a second | 19:01 |
| lifeless | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2011-10/msg00001.html may be a good basis for an implementation | 19:03 |
| vnguyen | Ok, I'll look at that. Thanks!! | 19:04 |
| lifeless | http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3156.txt | 19:05 |
| lifeless | vnguyen: ^ | 19:05 |
| lifeless | is the rfc for doing signed email with gpg | 19:05 |
| vnguyen | [a bit off-topic]: @lifeless why your responses printed in reverse order in my chat window? o_O | 19:05 |
| vnguyen | *are | 19:05 |
| lifeless | I don't know, what order are they printed in ? | 19:06 |
| vnguyen | the link to www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3156 comes first, and everything else just get prepended | 19:07 |
| vnguyen | prepended! (not appended, which is what it is supposed to be! ) | 19:07 |
| vnguyen | i'll switch the client! hate this thing! | 19:08 |
| lifeless | I linked 07:07 < vnguyen> the link to www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3156 comes first, and everything else just get prepended | 19:08 |
| lifeless | bah | 19:08 |
| lifeless | I linked www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3156, then I did a ^, then I said 'is the rfc...' | 19:08 |
| vnguyen | Oh, ok. I guess the order isn't that important anyways! lol | 19:09 |
| vnguyen | thanks | 19:09 |
| EvilResistance | offtopic, but anyone got a link (nontorrent) to a 12.04 ISO that is fast-downloadable? | 19:09 |
| EvilResistance | nevermind :p | 19:12 |
| * EvilResistance found a mirror that is fast | 19:12 | |
| EvilResistance | s/a mirror/an official mirror/ | 19:12 |
| vnguyen | @lifeless: I'm probably being pretty dense here, but I looked at the links, and it seems to be talking about some "quilt" command, which I'm pretty sure I don't have available. I'm on the Mac~! :( | 19:26 |
| lifeless | vnguyen: that link was to a patch to quilt that taught quilt to send gpg signed mails | 19:27 |
| lifeless | vnguyen: it is an example of the code you may need | 19:27 |
| EvilResistance | wait, you want a solution for *MAC*? | 19:30 |
| vnguyen | Yesss! | 19:30 |
| lifeless | Resistance: why the emphasis? OSX is a Unix ... | 19:30 |
| vnguyen | @lifeless: It is, only there're things that you can get for *free* on a pure Unix but not the OSX. which is why I hate it~! | 19:32 |
| vnguyen | -s? | 20:27 |
