seb128tkamppeter, not really10:35
seb128tkamppeter, why?10:35
tkamppeterseb128, In CUPS I use a libusb-based backend to communicate with USB printers. Whwn a USB printer is plugged the usblp kernel module is loaded and to still be able to access the backend detaches the module from the printer, communicates with the printer and re-attaches the module. Many uses complain about USB printing problems in 12.04, in 11.10 I have simply blacklisted the module, but there are proprietary drivers which need the module, so I st10:50
tkamppeteropped blacklisting in 12.04.10:50

seb128hey jbicha, how are you?11:56
didrockshey jbicha12:01
jbichahi, I merged Evolution 3.4, but after logging out and back in, gnome-settings-daemon crashes12:03
jbichaSettings schema 'org.gnome.evolution.window:/org/gnome/evolution/mail/shell/window' is not installed12:03
jbichaI guess something isn't working with http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/data/evolution.convert ?12:03
seb128can you run gnome-settings-daemon --debug on a command line and put the log online?12:04
jbichahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/998900/12:05
seb128oh, fun12:06
seb128yeah, seems like the .convert is buggy12:07
seb128we should disable the gconf converter in gsd though in q12:07
jbichalooking in dconf-editor, there is org.gnome.mail.shell windowmaximized, windowx, and windowy12:09
seb128jbicha, well the ":/org/gnome/evolution/mail/shell/window" seems buggy in the .convert12:10
chrisccoulsondoes memcheck need to override malloc() and free() ?12:10
seb128the [] sections should be gsettings schemas12:10

pittiseb128: so we can sync tomorrow morning, or possibly tonight12:19
seb128pitti, danke!12:19
seb128jbicha, I think we can try dropping the "use plain tetris theme" in q12:30
seb128it used to make a difference when we did it but rendering performances improved since and hardware as well12:31
jbichaplaying at level 20 is still impossible, but I guess people that know better shouldn't do that :)12:32
Sweetsharkhttp://www.supersimplestorageservice.com/ <- ubuntu one, watch out!12:53
mlankhorstThat  'storage per terabyte' :D12:54
seb128pitti, SRU question, if a bug listed in the changelog is only partially fixed (i.e still better than before so it should not block the SRU), would that be a verification-done with reopening of the bug after the copy or a verification-failed?13:01
seb128pitti, i.e what's the best way to convey the "the fix is incomplete byt don't block the SRU on it"13:01
seb128tkamppeter, hey, should https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-google-cloud-print-integration be targetted for this cycle? is that something you plan to work? or do we wait on it to happen upstream and then look at integrating it?13:02
pittiseb128: I think v-failed would be better, as a reminder to reopen the bug13:09
pittiseb128: which package is it?13:09
tkamppeterseb128, it was last cycle thought out to do the server part (sharing local printers to the cloud) by trelatively small changes in gnome-session-daemon and the online account settings panel, but the appropriate people did not find the time. And then shortly before UDS, I bumped all not done Precise Blueprints to Quantal.13:12
seb128pitti, ubuntu-docs for one13:13
seb128pitti, but I'm having a similar issue with shotwell as well I think13:14
seb128tkamppeter, ok, well we don't use gnome-online-account and I don't think we want to add extra code to gnome-settings-daemon so that needs a bit of rethinking ... do you plan to work on that this cycle (in which case we should update the spec) or should we drop it from the q list?13:15
seb128kenvandine, mterry: hey guys, how are you? had a good w.e?13:35
mterryseb128, hello!13:35
mterryseb128, yeah, it was fine, yours?13:35
kenvandineyup, and you?13:36
seb128mterry, it was good, though the weather is not that great, we get blue sky, grey rainy alternances13:36
seb128kenvandine, thanks for the GTK SRU fix!13:36
kenvandineseb128, longer term we need to get ubuntu-mono fixed13:40
seb128kenvandine, yeah, see my comment on the bug where I disagree with you uploading the revert to q ;-)13:40
ogra_double it up ! make it stereo !13:40
kenvandineseb128, i agree... but i didn't even know who to bug about fixing ubuntu-mono13:44
kenvandineand charles is going to look at the indicator13:44
seb128ok13:44
kenvandinei made sure all the bugs were filed though13:44
seb128kenvandine, thanks13:44
kenvandinewho should we assign the ubuntu-mono task too?13:44
seb128kenvandine, try Cimi? ;-)13:45
larsukenvandine, my best guess would be Cimi (he should at least know who to assign it to)13:46
larsuargh, seb128 was faster!13:46
tkamppeterseb128, perhaps we should introduce the Cloud Print idea next UDS and discuss how we actually implement it.13:46
kenvandinei didn't think he did the icon theme13:46
kenvandineguess i was wrong :)13:46
seb128tkamppeter, seems like a plan13:46
seb128kenvandine, well, as larsu said, if he doesn't he's probably the best placed to know who does ;-)13:46
seb128i.e one step closer from having it assigned correctly ;-)13:47
seb128kenvandine, btw, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-gwibber seems like it's mostly drafter, if that's the case can you set the definition to "review"?13:48
Laneyjbicha: can you push a finalise/tag to gnome-games?13:48
LaneyI fixed your FTBFS :P13:48
kenvandinesure13:48
seb128kenvandine, though now with the new "standards" you might want to add a goal description etc to it13:48
kenvandineok, i'll do that13:49
seb128kenvandine, thanks13:49
jbichaLaney: done, thanks!13:51
tkamppeterseb128, perhaps I open a new Blueprint when the time is up.13:54
seb128tkamppeter, we can update that one and clear the whiteboard a bit for next UDS but don't worry about it for now, we have time13:55
tkamppeterseb128, yes, for Q I will do no real new features, only optimizing, improving, and debugging the workflow.13:57
seb128tkamppeter, ok, thanks13:57
tkamppeterseb128, so do not worrky about printing desktop-wise, if something needs done, I will report or forward a bug.13:58
seb128ok13:58
jbichaLaney: you can drop the quadrapassel.gsettings-override while you're at it if you like13:59
Laneyokey doke14:00
Laneyjbicha: ok, lp:~laney/gnome-games/fix-ftbfs is waiting for you :-)14:14
Laneywe should swap gnome-games out for sgt-puzzles though: much more fun :P14:19
Laney(or nethack)14:19
jbichaLaney: oh, you work for Canonical now?14:21
seb128Laney, is sgt-puzzles good? I never tried those14:22
Laneyjbicha: yep14:22
seb128seems like a lot of .desktop installed ;-)14:22
Laneyseb128: in a very addictive way, yes14:22
LaneyI've been playing 'pearl' a fair bit lately14:22
seb128we should maybe look at adding them to the CD14:22
seb128though I don't like the .desktop flood coming with it, I would prefer a small selected set of good games I think14:23
Laneyit does contain a lot of games, indeed14:23

didrocksmvo: it's the same issue than usual: either the service side crashed (so need a service stacktrace) either the service didn't respond in time14:26

seb128didrocks, guessing, he came from an errors.ubuntu.com angle there14:35
seb128didrocks, is there anything you could do to improve those bugs? like having the service write in a log and have apport add the log to the bugs?14:36

pittiwow, the first 30 or so are all Python15:00
pittizenity is the first non-Python one15:00
pittiyummy UnicodeDecodeError, python3 FTW!15:01
seb128yeah, python for the loose there15:01
seb128though there are several reasons for that, including that some of those are what would be warning in C15:02
seb128i.e often people don't both trying to catch warnings in python since those are not visible in non apport world15:03
seb128the dupping works also better for python, no failed retracing there or no big dumps to send15:04
pittiwarnings shouldn't cause a report, though; do they?15:04
seb128pitti, no, but often we have harmless exception that upstream didn't catch because "why bother, they are not user visible and don't create any breakage on the app from an user perspective"15:06
seb128I got into some discussions with upstreams in the past saying we should consider unhandled exceptions as bugs15:07
seb128or at least not in a systematic way15:07
pittiwell, the top 30 or so there are all Ubuntu-ish programs15:07
seb128pitti, well, a good part of those for example are denied auth prompts15:08
seb128like if you click cancel on an polkit prompt you will get a PermissionDenied exception15:08
seb128which apport will catch15:08
pittiah, that's somewhat relieving15:08
seb128but in practice that dismiss the dialog and there is no real bug15:08
seb128pitti, like https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk:DBusException:on_combobox_update_interval_changed:__call__:call_blocking15:11
seb128pitti, it's "run software-properties-gtk, click a checkbox, cancel the dialog" -> bug report15:11
seb128where in fact there was no error15:11

micahgchrisccoulson: the builds seem to hang17:18
chrisccoulsonmicahg, they're not hanging. they just take too long to link17:18
micahghrm, yeah, sounds like a compiler bug then, as the whole build has been less than 2.5 hrs before17:19
chrisccoulsonit's longer because this is a PGO build. and the long linking time isn't the primary problem that i'm trying to debug17:20
