[00:39] <Fudge> hi is it possible to get help changing ownership of a project i created, cant find where to do it :)
[00:41] <wgrant> Fudge: Which project?
[00:43] <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--------'
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <wgrant> https://launchpad.net/vinux/+edit-people, or there's an edit icon next to the Maintainer field on https://launchpad.net/vinux
[00:47] <Fudge> wgrant  there is an edit field with the project owner? i woudl change that?
[00:47] <wgrant> Fudge: Maintainer == Owner
[00:52] <Fudge> wgrant  I wish to change it to vinux/ubuntu team, wil lthat be accepted?
[00:53] <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?
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <wgrant> There's a field labelled 'Maintainer'
[00:55] <wgrant> Enter 'vinux' in there
[00:56] <Fudge> yay thanks wgrant  that is extremely helpful
[00:57] <wgrant> Excellent, you have indeed changed it.
[00:57] <Fudge> thanx mate :D
[00:58] <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.
[03:09] <vnguyen> Hello all, has anyone encountered a problem with the bug email interface?
[16:50] <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> ?
[16:52] <Nafallo> vnguyen: you need to sign your e-mail, I'd think.
[16:52] <Nafallo> vnguyen: as in, use your gpg-key.
[16:53] <Nafallo> vnguyen: please keep the conversation in channel, so someone else can help out if need be.
[16:54] <vnguyen> Oh, sorry. I'm just new to this IRC client
[16:55] <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?
[16:58] <Nafallo> no idea, personally.
[16:58] <Nafallo> I don't use launchpad much.
[17:01] <maxb> the normal way is to have gpg functionality in your mail client do it
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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
[17:04]  * 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?
[17:05] <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~!
[17:06] <Resistance> ewwww
[17:06] <Resistance> postfix!  </shun>
[17:06] <Resistance> or sendmail
[17:06]  * Resistance yawns
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <vnguyen> that's what I meant by "automatically"
[17:10] <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!
[17:17] <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/
[17:18] <vnguyen> Yes, it's where all the bugs I'm working with have been hosted.
[17:25] <vnguyen> So if the bug-tracker is the unchanged parameter, is there anything I could do differently to get this to work?
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <vnguyen> that's ok/ :)
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <vnguyen> ok, tahnks anyway! :D
[18:55] <EvilResistance> and i am back :P
[18:55]  * EvilResistance had to switch to a non-local client so the scrollbacks dont become ungodly
[19:00] <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?
[19:01] <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
[19:03] <lifeless> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2011-10/msg00001.html may be a good basis for an implementation
[19:04] <vnguyen> Ok, I'll look at that. Thanks!!
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <lifeless> I don't know, what order are they printed in ?
[19:07] <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! )
[19:08] <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...'
[19:09] <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?
[19:12] <EvilResistance> nevermind :p
[19:12]  * EvilResistance found a mirror that is fast
[19:12] <EvilResistance> s/a mirror/an official mirror/
[19:26] <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~! :(
[19:27] <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
[19:30] <EvilResistance> wait, you want a solution for *MAC*?
[19:30] <vnguyen> Yesss!
[19:30] <lifeless> Resistance: why the emphasis? OSX is a Unix ...
[19:32] <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~!
[20:27] <vnguyen>  -s?
