[07:31] <rmk_> morning jodh

[07:33] <MCR1> haha
[07:33] <rmk_> for tty-serial
[07:33] <rmk_> specifically, IFS stuff
[07:34] <jodh> rmk_: I was out yesterday, so no.
[07:34] <rmk_> it was a few days ago
[07:34] <rmk_> I found the problem
[07:35] <rmk_> when you call getty you need to restore the IFS back otherwise you won't get the word splitting you expect
[07:35] <jodh> rmk_: there are no new comments on bug 702574..?
[07:35] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 702574 in upstart (Ubuntu) "getty should be started automatically on serial port when serial console is set on kernel command line" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/702574

[07:36] <jodh> rmk_: please could you just add your comments to that bug so they don't get lost? ;)

[10:38] <ev> mpt: I'm wondering if the spinner over the treeview is the best place for it, now that we can have multiple reports potentially loading at different times. Maybe a band that appears at the top of the treeview and says "Loading" with the spinner next to it?
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
[10:58] <mpt> ev, how long apart are the sections likely to populate?
[10:59] <ev> mpt: hard to say. That's entirely dependent on how frequent different crashes are occurring

=== cpg is now known as cpg|away
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
[11:04] <ev> mpt: they can come in at any time. Lets say for argument's sake that you have the error report dialog up, with the show details pane expanded
[11:04] <ev> another crash occurs
[11:04] <ev> what should happen?
[11:04] <mpt> ohhhh
[11:04] <mpt> I was thinking just of the case where you already had all of them
[11:05] <ev> ah
[11:05] <mpt> you just hadn't analyzed them yet
[11:05] <mpt> I'm tempted to say that showing the details pane should prevent aggregation of any later ones
[11:06] <mpt> otherwise, even if you're concerned about exactly what the report contains, you may hit "Continue" just as a bunch of private stuff gets added to it.
[11:06] <mpt> But that conflicts a bit with the idea of persisting expanded state of the details pane.
[11:08] <mpt> (That could be prevented by making "Continue" insensitive for a few seconds after each problem, but in a diabolical case that might mean it never becomes sensitive.)
[11:10] <ev> so it's possible to do that, but that would make determining which dialog to send subsequent error reports to difficult in the case where you've expanded the pane, a new report comes in and opens a new dialog, you collapse the pane and then a new report comes in.
[11:11] <ev> unless the solution is to never aggregate to the existing dialog after the user has clicked show details, even if they then hit hide details

[13:28] <ev> like how all the work I did on teaching crash-digger (the thing that links apport bug reports together) to use daisy.ubuntu.com for its brain so we could have just one mapping crash signatures to bug reports
[13:29] <ev> this so we can have launchpad bugs on errors.ubuntu.com for the issues without them, and to lay the groundwork for crash signatures -> bugs -> uploaded source -> fixed binary packages stuff
[13:29] <mpt> Standard therapist procedure: Communicating your problems helps solve them. :-)
[13:29] <ev> I've realised that we can probably just leave crash-digger well alone, and just dup the crash-digger found bug against the daisy.ubuntu.com created one

[15:06] <stgraber> smoser: ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

[15:08] <smoser> but i assume some result of me for that.
[15:08] <smoser> the cloud images have relative, so i questioned the difference.
[15:08] <stgraber> some early versions were creating an absolute symlink, so maybe you still have it from that time

[15:40] <BenC> Ah, gotcha
[15:41] <xnox> mpt: So no repeats on the alarms? =))) I'm guessing it's not a wake-up alarm then.
[15:41] <xnox> mpt: should it boot the computer up as well?
[15:42] <mpt> xnox, don't know if you went to the page or just read the diff, but the sketch shows "Repeat: (*) No  ( ) Daily"
[15:42] <xnox> mpt: what I meant, is multiple alarms. I always set two alarms 7am & 7:30am
[15:42] <xnox> cause I will snooze/ignore the first one
[15:43] <mpt> xnox, if Ubuntu was smart enough to have timed startup and shutdown, I think it should first go in the Power settings. We could add it here later.
[15:43] <xnox> mpt: Ok.
[15:44] <mpt> xnox, baby steps. A single alarm for now. :-) Maybe a list of them later.

[20:12] <bdmurray> I'm at an ubuntu bug with 2 tasks, really 3 tasks, but just for different releases and sponsor-patch is assert'ing on me there

[20:16] <tumbleweed> bdmurray: the assertion is because we need to find the single task that matches the branch
[20:17] <tumbleweed> line 203 should pick the right release
[20:17] <bdmurray> tumbleweed: right and this bug has 2 quantal tasks for the same source package

[20:18] <bdmurray> all 3 don't show up in the web interface but in the API and probably +text
[20:18] <bdmurray> I believe it happens when you target a bug to the development release
[20:19] <tumbleweed> that makes sense
[20:19] <tumbleweed> how do we pick the right one?
[20:20] <bdmurray> they seem to be the same series so does it matter?
[20:22] <tumbleweed> actually, probably not. It only changes the state of tasks for old-style sync-acking

[22:33] <plasmasolutions>  Good evening guys...I've got a brand new intuos 5 under ubuntu here and need really your help. As far as I can see the pen /eraser is working properly but when I lay my finger at on of the left tablet buttons or move it in a straight row from top to bottom the pointer moves for a very short timespan to 0|0 (causing the exposee feature under gnome3 to happen)
[22:33] <plasmasolutions> When I set the panel to left handed, the pointer moves to the lower right for a tiny period of time
[22:34] <plasmasolutions>  I installed under my ubuntu 12.04 this package-archive: ppa:lekensteyn/wacom-tablet
[22:34] <plasmasolutions> and the wacom-dkms package, it's this archive: https://launchpad.net/~lekensteyn/+archive/wacom-tablet

=== cpg|away is now known as cpg
[23:37] <failedassertion> I have a bug but I don't know where to file it. Using the "fsprotect" package in universe doesn't work on /var with samba installed, because samba starts writing to files in /var/log before fsprotect can move the rw-mounted /var out of the way. Is this a bug in fsprotect, or is it a packaging bug in Ubuntu?
[23:38] <failedassertion> i.e. I think it's something specific to upstart trying to parallelize things
[23:39] <cjwatson> I would be inclined to file that against the Ubuntu fsprotect package
[23:40] <cjwatson> It probably needs to be converted to an Upstart job itself so that it can start at the appropriate time and block samba startup, or something
[23:40] <cjwatson> Without having looked at the details or anything
[23:43] <failedassertion> cjwatson: Alright. Sounds good. I'll write it up and file it. Thanks.
[23:43] <slangasek> sounds non-trivial to fix in the general case however, since /var may or may not be a mount point
[23:43] <cjwatson> Also samba may or may not be installed
[23:44] <slangasek> and there's no consistent way to block everything that wants to start once the filesystem is up
[23:44] <cjwatson> I'm not certain that fsprotect is the right place for the bug; it's just where I'd start with it
[23:44] <cjwatson> It's possible fsprotect would need to be integrated into mountall to work properly
[23:45] <failedassertion> i was afraid of that :-\
[23:45] <cjwatson> There *might* be some hack involving starting on the various mounted events
[23:46] <slangasek> actually, it seems like an upstart job that's 'start on mounted / instance MOUNTPOINT' would probably be what you want
[23:46] <cjwatson> Yeah
[23:46] <cjwatson> That would block local-filesystems until it's complete, which would block samba
[23:49] <failedassertion> slangasek: cjwatson: that's a good thought... I've got basically no knowledge of upstart, but when I look at this tomorrow I'll dig a little deeper. I've gotta run now, but thanks again
