[00:42] <george_e> ^--- Git import woes :)
[00:43] <wgrant> george_e: There seems to be an issue with non-initial HTTP git imports, but native git-protocol imports work fine. Does git.chromium.org provide a non-HTTP interface?
[00:49] <george_e> wgrant: I will take a look.
[00:51] <george_e> There is a mirror over at code.google.com...
[00:51] <george_e> I'm checking to see if that provides a non-HTTP interface...
[00:53] <george_e> Aw...
[00:53] <george_e> "...we are only able to accept incoming HTTP connections..."
[00:53] <george_e> That's not going to work then.
[00:56] <wgrant> george_e: I'll poke someone who knows more about code imports tonight.
[00:57] <george_e> wgrant: Thank you :)
[00:57] <wgrant> george_e: It for some reason thinks it's a "partial success", which is normally only used when it's doing a progressive initial import of a few thousand revisions each time.
[01:04] <george_e> Hmm... in the meantime, I'm going to try to set up a temporary mirror on another server.
[01:08] <george_e> Nope, the server I have access to blocks git:// access as well.
[12:54] <josef__> hi. i'm trying to install this launchpad https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/304.32-1 in my debian wheezy. I don't know what the correct line is to add in /etc/apt/sources.list could someone help me?
[13:00] <josef__> the following doesn't work: deb http://launchpad.net/debian/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/304.32-1/ experimental non-free
[13:01] <Lasall> I don't see any PPA. perhaps you should download .dsc file with dget -xu URI.dsc and then build the debian source package, josef__
[13:11] <josef__> thx Lasall. dget -u --build URI.dsc worked well. didn't knew dget before. thx again
[17:16] <linuxloony89> hey anyone had much luch with accomplishments for ubuntu?
[19:47] <GreatDanton> Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with this: http://imgur.com/CS2ID
[19:50] <lifeless> GreatDanton: what about it ?
[19:50] <GreatDanton> there is one error
[19:50] <GreatDanton> and I don't know why
[19:50] <lifeless> whats the error?
[19:50] <GreatDanton> http://imgur.com/CS2ID
[19:50] <lifeless> thats a url.
[19:51] <GreatDanton> yes it's a picture
[19:51] <lifeless> what of ?
[19:51] <GreatDanton> of the problem
[19:51] <lifeless> oh
[19:51] <GreatDanton> :)
[19:51] <lifeless> well, I'll see about looking at the picture in a while
[19:51] <lifeless> can't right now
[19:52] <GreatDanton> okay I can post errors too
[19:52] <GreatDanton> There is 1 error.
[19:52] <lifeless> you could just describe it
[19:52] <GreatDanton> (7, 58, u'No data')
[19:52] <GreatDanton> that's the errors, and I don't know nothing about it
[19:52] <lifeless> what are you trying to do ?
[19:52] <GreatDanton> Sign the Ubuntu code of Conduct
[19:54] <lifeless> GreatDanton: have you digitally signed it before you submit it ?
[19:54] <lifeless> GreatDanton: I would expect that error if you just pasted the unsigned document
[19:54] <GreatDanton> what do you mean digitally signed (I am new to to this
[19:55] <GreatDanton> with my key?
[19:55] <lifeless> Yes, there are instructions on the CoC pages.
[19:57] <GreatDanton> I am afraid I didn't see those instructions
[19:57] <GreatDanton> quote;Open that new file, and copy and paste its contents into this box. Then click “Continue”.
[20:03] <GreatDanton> I did exactly like in instructions
[20:04] <lifeless> the new file should be signed
[20:04] <lifeless> the first line of it should be
[20:04] <lifeless> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
[20:04] <lifeless> if its not, then its not signed.
[20:05] <GreatDanton> the very first line after the command in terminal is this: = Ubuntu Code of Conduct v1.1 =
[20:07] <maxb> Have you actually done anything with the gpg command?
[20:07] <GreatDanton> yes I followed the instructions
[20:07] <GreatDanton> gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt
[20:07] <GreatDanton> and then
[20:08] <GreatDanton> gpg -decrypt UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt.asc
[20:08] <lifeless> *blink*
[20:09] <GreatDanton> * --decrypt
[20:16] <maxb> Er, what?
[20:16] <maxb> There is no decryption involced
[20:16] <GreatDanton> ?
[20:16] <maxb> * involved
[20:17] <GreatDanton> so instead of decryption I should open it with nano?
[20:18] <maxb> What you SHOULD be doing is taking the contents of the .asc file and pasting it into Launchpad
[20:18] <GreatDanton> ah thank you
[20:18] <lifeless> GreatDanton: why did you decrypt it ?
[20:19] <GreatDanton> pgp signature should decrypted right?
[20:19] <GreatDanton> lifeless I understand the guys at ubuntu forums wrong
[20:19] <lifeless> GreatDanton: can you give us a link to instructions that told you to decrypt ?
[20:20] <GreatDanton> no link
[20:20] <GreatDanton> chat
[20:20] <lifeless> forums are a website
[20:20] <GreatDanton> yes but #ubuntuforums channel
[20:20] <lifeless> oh
[20:21] <lifeless> ok
[20:22] <lifeless> and its not logged. Doh.
[20:23] <draft> hi there ...Basically I'm trying to hook up to launchpad and I cannot export or find my ssh key (public)
[20:23] <draft> **hi there ...Basically I'm trying to hook up to launchpad and I cannot export or find my PGP key (public)
[20:26] <GreatDanton> thank you guys it's working now
[20:26] <maxb> draft: Do you *have* a PGP key?
[20:27] <draft> maxb, yes , but i dunno where it is , or how to import it into launchpad 'settings'.
[20:28] <maxb> Use whatever tool you used to create it to upload it to a keyserver, if you haven't done that already
[20:29] <draft> maxb, I dont know what a keyserver is .. sorry im a n00b.
[20:30] <draft> maxb, is a key server under passwords in ubuntu ?
[20:31] <maxb> Go to https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editpgpkeys and click
[20:31] <draft> maxb, 'passwords and keys' that is ??
[20:31] <maxb>  (Learn more about OpenPGP keys)
[20:31] <draft> ok
[20:35] <draft> maxb, It's taking ages to generate a 'key' ... is that normal ??
[20:37] <maxb> I thought you said you already had a key?
[20:38] <maxb> It can take a minute or so
[20:38] <draft> its done now .. :)
[20:38] <maxb> Or it can take much much longer if your machine is short on randomness
[20:41] <draft> its syncing with key server :)
[20:42] <draft> maxb, It says i have to wait 20 minutes or so until the keyserver publishes it .. :(
[20:43] <maxb> I don't know why, but apparently the interconnect from keyserver.ubuntu.com to Launchpad's internal keyserver is rubbish
[20:43] <maxb> It can't hurt to try importing it now, anyway
[20:44] <draft> fagerette required.
[20:44]  * draft smokes his cutters choice rollie :)
[20:53] <draft> maxb, ok I'll try now ...
[20:58] <lifeless> maxb: I suspect its cache refresh time on the LP appservers actually.
[20:58] <maxb> Why are they caching nonexistence of a gpg fingerprint?
[20:58] <lifeless> maxb: we use the main keyserver ourselves IIRC
[20:59] <lifeless> maxb: well, you have the code, feel free to dig around; I was just speculating :)
[21:01] <lifeless> maxb: it might be that there is absolutely no reason to delay at all and the warning is hysterical
[21:02] <maxb> At some point in the past, there has been a separate internal keyserver, and synchronisation with the public one has been unexpectedly sluggish
[21:02] <maxb> I don't know whether that's still true, but it definitely was
[21:02] <lifeless> yes
[21:23] <draft> maxb, OK just to save time ... could you tell me how to install a package "ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily" (aftwer have installed the software's ppa)
[21:24] <draft> **after
[21:25] <maxb> That's not a package
[21:25] <draft> maxb, lifeless , **PPA's key that is.
[21:26] <draft> maxb, so how do i install freecad ??
[21:28] <TheLordOfTime> draft, is 'freecad' in that PPA?
[21:29] <TheLordOfTime> i just answered my own question XD
[21:29] <TheLordOfTime> draft:  what ubuntu are you running?  precise?
[21:29] <draft> yes
[21:29] <maxb> draft: Are you possibly horribly confused and somehow think you need to generate and upload a PGP key just to download from a PPA?
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> maxb:  i think he's confused how to add the PPA
[21:30] <draft> yes
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> draft:  add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> try that
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> then do: sudo apt-get update
[21:30] <draft> k
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> then: sudo apt-get install freecad
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> (all in the terminal)
[21:30] <maxb> draft: All that generation and uploading of a PGP key... totally irrelevant if all you want to do is use an existing PPA
[21:30] <TheLordOfTime> indeed
[21:30] <draft> says : must run as root ??
[21:31] <TheLordOfTime> whoops
[21:31] <TheLordOfTime> prepend that with sudo
[21:31] <draft> k
[21:31] <TheLordOfTime> i.e. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
[21:31] <TheLordOfTime> maxb:  would you suggest that if I upload a new PGP key and that is now my primary key, that I resign the Ubuntu CoC on launchpad with that newer key?
[21:31] <TheLordOfTime> or will the older key one work
[21:32]  * TheLordOfTime is planning on deactivating that key
[21:33] <draft> TheLordOfTime, OK I've done both of those two commands , now where do i find it ??
[21:33] <TheLordOfTime> draft:  did you do the third command?
[21:33] <TheLordOfTime> i gave you three commands.;
[21:33] <TheLordOfTime> first was add-apt-repository, the next was apt-get update, the third was an install command.
[21:33] <draft> oh sorry yes.
[21:33] <maxb> I think once you deactivate your CoC-signing key you might need to resign the CoC for it to be considered still valid
[21:34] <TheLordOfTime> maxb:  so should I deactivate the current CoC signature and resign, say, immediately?
[21:34] <TheLordOfTime> i have a PHP backport i need to upload to a PPA XD
[21:34] <maxb> Depends... personally I'd just leave the old key active unless it's compromised
[21:34] <maxb> That's what I've done on my account
[21:34] <draft> its installing now ... thankyou everyone ... took an hour .. but i got there (we did !)
[21:34] <TheLordOfTime> i'm reselling the old system, and not doing a DOD wipe
[21:35]  * TheLordOfTime is only doing a basic wipe
[21:35] <TheLordOfTime> so...
[21:35] <TheLordOfTime> i should probably revoke the key now...
[21:35] <TheLordOfTime> now... how to revoke the key...
[21:36] <maxb> Hmm, I guess you're not too invested in the web of trust then
[21:37] <maxb> My key carries signatures gathered at face to face meetings, I'd definitely take it with me when changing machine
[21:38] <TheLordOfTime> and there we go.  :P
[21:39] <TheLordOfTime> maxb:  personally, i'd have just replaced the drive and then taken the older drive out to the range and shot it full of .45
[21:39] <TheLordOfTime> but this is a netbook
[21:39] <TheLordOfTime> i cant get at the drive.
[21:40]  * TheLordOfTime installed clean Ubuntu on it, though, and set up a temporary password on the 'ubuntu' user ('ubuntu' user, 'ubuntu' pw)
[21:40] <TheLordOfTime> i also am giving them that new information :P
[21:40] <TheLordOfTime> they're free to wipe/reinstall later
[21:40] <TheLordOfTime> (but i installed clean ubuntu without doing a DOD wipe)
[21:41] <TheLordOfTime> and the new key is now activated, and used to sign the CoC
