Mamarokgood morning everyone06:19
MamarokHow can this be rediscussed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/amarok/+bug/260091 ?06:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 260091 in amarok (Ubuntu) "Amarok does not correctly re-format cover art when transferring to Ipod" [Undecided,Won't fix]06:19
Mamarokthe libgpod4-nogtk package is only causing trouble06:19
Mamarokand this bug is really Debian/Ubuntu specific, upstream doesn't have such a split06:20
=== apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger
RiddellMamarok: is there trouble other than it just won't work?09:00
Mamarokwell, it is annoying as it disables the cover support for devices09:02
Mamarokwhich people them report to us as a bug09:02
Riddellmm09:03
Mamarokand no other distro does actually split that besides Debian/Ubuntu09:03
apacheloggerRiddell, Mamarok: is that not a bug in libgpod?09:13
apacheloggeras in: it should work without GTK09:13
* apachelogger actually wonders what GTK would be used for with regards to cover art09:13
Mamarokno, it is an artificial split of Debian/Kubuntu, as it works in all other distros09:14
apacheloggerI do seem to recall that libgpod *allows* building without GTK09:14
Mamaroknever heard of an upstream problem09:14
Mamarokapachelogger: well, all I know is that the nogtk package is causing trouble, and no other dsitros did report a cover problem so far09:15
apacheloggerthat's because they use the GTK enabled version09:16
Riddellhmm the only library that libgpod4 depends on is libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 and not the full gtk09:19
apacheloggerah09:19
RiddellI'm sure that used not to be the case09:19
apacheloggeryep, just thought the same thing09:20
apacheloggeralso we have gdk-pixbuf already on the CD anyway09:20
Riddellhmm I wonder why09:21
apacheloggerRiddell: 0.7.x linke dagainst gtk, since 0.8 it only links gdk-pixbuf09:21
apacheloggerRiddell: I am reasonable certain the pixbuf stuff is used by some GTK theme stuff09:21
Riddellok I guess we can make that change and make Mamarok happy09:22
Riddellapachelogger: want to do it or shall I?09:22
apacheloggerRiddell: if you have time please go ahead, I'd only put it on my never ending todo :S09:22
RiddellI'll do it if Mamarok gives me a kiss :)09:23
apachelogger:)09:23
* apachelogger has ipod stuff on his todo anyway09:23
MamarokRiddell: you will get one of course :)09:23
apacheloggerhow I do hate fixing things I cannot test brrr09:23
Riddellapachelogger: convince the kubuntu council to pay for what you need if that is what's needed09:24
apacheloggerit's not needed, it just annoys me09:25
* apachelogger proxy-programmed bluray support in phonon :S09:25

phillwis there a seasoned kubuntu about I could ask for some advice with a test case (here or on #ubuntu-testing).18:01
phillw*kubuntu tester*18:01
shadeslayernot seasoned, but shoot18:07
phillwshadeslayer: I'm following  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/230/builds/21374/testcases (lucid upgrade)18:09
phillwI installed and updated 10.04.4, but the terminal reports 1st that upgrade-manager is not installed, so I apt-got it.18:10
shadeslayeruh18:10
phillwnow it complaining about not being able to open a window with python error18:10
shadeslayer"This is a legacy testcase, content is only available here: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/DesktopUpgrade"18:10
phillwshadeslayer: that is the one I'm following.18:11
shadeslayerfrom what's written there, I don't think it's valid anymore18:11
shadeslayerphillw: make sure you have kubuntu-desktop installed on 10.04.418:12
phillwHmm, well I cannot find anything else, so that's as far as I can proceed. I installed kubuntu amd 10.04.4 from http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/10.04/kubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso18:12
shadeslayerright18:13
shadeslayerphillw: try using do-release-upgrade18:13
shadeslayerif update-manager isn't working18:13
phillwNo new release found18:14
shadeslayermmmm18:14
shadeslayerah yes18:14
shadeslayer12.04.1 isn't released yet18:14
shadeslayerphillw: do-release-upgrade -d18:15
phillwit's doing something :)18:16
phillwseems to be loading precise stuff, which is good :)18:17
shadeslayer*nod*18:17
phillwthanks, I'll have a word with balloons about what to do with the old test case, as it's no use in it's current format.18:18
phillwafter I koick him for talking me into testing 10.04.4 systems :P18:19
phillw*kick*18:19
shadeslayerhah :D18:20
shadeslayeractually, u-m is supposed to work18:20
shadeslayerthe fallback option is to use do-release-upgrade -d18:20
phillwshadeslayer: I've found that the wiki page it was pointing to was out dated, kubunrtu do have an updated one. I'm just checking with balloons as to the best way forword for you guys.18:24
phillwmeanwhile, I'll carry on with the upgrade to 12.0418:24
shadeslayeralright18:24
Riddellphillw: this is the instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu/10.04LTS19:30
phillwhi Riddell I found them, going  to discuss with balloons to ensure iso-tracker is using the new instructions. It'll be a couple of days before we have them up and working; but we have it on our TODO list.19:38
Riddellphillw: a couple of days to edit a text box?19:39
phillwthe VM is just finishing it's 10.04.4 to 12.04 upgrade, then I can try the 12.04.1 applied (I drew the short straw of starting with a 'clean, virgin' 10.04.4 install to test with :P )19:39
phillwit is a legacy test case, so the new one needs creating.19:40
phillwbetween testing everything and re-writing test cases, it is a bit hectic :)19:41
phillwI'm concentrating on getting the ones with no mandatory tests actually done. We can catch up the instructions later :)19:42
Riddellphillw: thanks for helping out!19:46
phillwyvw, we from lubuntu do owe kubuntu et. all quite a few favours from when we very new. We will always dive in and help all the other flavours when asked.19:48
jocarteroh really. :p19:50
phillwyup, some of the mac stuff gets done by lubuntu, as we a couple of testers who will dive on. for other stuf, we help out where we have resources. Like all teams, we would like more testers!19:51
phillwthink nice thoughts, it is going from 10.04.4 to 12.04 :)19:53
phillwKBuildSycoca has a crash report coming in shortly.19:56
shadeslayerso, I'm looking at ubiquity, and I can't quite find where the RELEASE variable comes from20:42
shadeslayerany ideas?20:42
yofelin which file?20:48
yofelshadeslayer: ^20:50
shadeslayerall of them? :P20:50
shadeslayerthey use a Generic marker20:50
shadeslayerthat's called RELEASE20:50
shadeslayerthey just substitute that var with the actual string20:50
yofelok, so what are you  looking for?20:52
shadeslayerwhere is RELEASE defined :)20:52
yofelgrepping through the sources, I see '${RELEASE}' being replaced by the actual release, and some comments in the translations that RELEASE is used as a marker by casper20:54
yofelso I guess casper sets it?20:54
shadeslayerthen how does casper find it? :P21:00
=== skreech__ is now known as Daskreech
shadeslayeryofel: any idea?21:29
yofelI know nothing about casper :/21:29
shadeslayer:P21:37
phillwRiddell: I have had 3 goes now at the update from 10.04.04 to 12.04, they have all failed :( On the plus side, I have a shed load of log files if they be of help, each in its own directory under /var/log21:52
phillw/var/log/dist-upgrade has them stored21:53
ScottKRiddell: I see print-manager in New again now.  Looking.22:25
yofelphillw: did the upgrade completly fail or was it just that kbuildsycoca4 crash during the upgrade?22:27
phillwyofel: It started with that, but then reported that there were too many fails for it too keep track of. I'm just tar-ing up the directory for jibel to have a look at.22:29
yofelurgh22:29
* yofel goes doing some tests in kvm22:29
phillwIt did go down fighting, all the logs seem to be there. 22:30
shadeslayeryofel: it's in /.disk/info22:31
yofelgreat, now we even have hidden files in the isos...22:32
ScottKRiddell: configure-printer/PrinterOptions.cpp has to be GPL2 only, not GPL2+22:32
shadeslayer:P22:32
phillwyofel: it does seem the X was not fully installed from the desktop iso onto my VM. I'm just having a quick dig around as I got an error up with ubuntu-bug22:44
phillwNo protocol installed22:45
phillw:cannot connect to X server :022:45
yofelbut you had X running?22:46
phillwthe desktop is running fine.....22:46
phillwso, something is messed up :(22:46
yofelo.O22:46
phillwI'm not a complete n00b with VM's, but this one has me well beaten!22:47
phillwhow to heck does it get downloads and not be able to ping google.com!22:49
mikecbdns issues?22:50
phillwmikecb: it would appear so, I cannot ping a know IP address.22:51
phillwnever had this before with ubuntu VM's22:51
yofelwe use the same network configuration though...22:51
mikecbwait, you can or cannot ping an ip address?22:51
phillwnope, yet it can download stuff to get the lucid --> precise upgrade okay.... My brain is now really hurting :(22:52
mikecbweird22:54
phillwthe broweser is now also down, this should be fun to get the log file off :P22:56
* yofel waits for ubuntu-vm-builder to finish22:59
yofelphillw: what VM did you use btw.?22:59
phillwyofel: I use http://virt-manager.org/23:00
phillw0.9.0 is my current version23:00
phillwI'm pretty darn sure that the lvm will remain intact once I close the VM down.23:01
phillwIt's going to be less painful to just remount the lv with the VM closed down.23:02
phillwall me VMs are created with logical volumes from the pool, makes cleaning up easier that keep fdisking the hard drive :)23:03
shadeslayerare your running quantal in a vm?23:06
shadeslayeryofel: don't you remember the fun we had with vm's last night ? :P23:06
yofelthat was VM + VNC fun23:07
phillwshadeslayer: not on my laptop, it's only a 4GB dual core machine, so I try yo not have more than 2 active23:07
phillwthe daddy server is a quad core, 16 GB, 2TB machine ... it eats VM's for breakfast :)23:07
yofel*drool*23:08
shadeslayerokay ...23:08
shadeslayerI have a quad core, 8 GB, 1TB server23:08
shadeslayerdoesn't beat yours, but it's good enough :P23:08
shadeslayerphillw: how much do you pay for it?23:08
phillwpython is killing my laptop, I'm just going to reboot piglet. 23:09
shadeslayeryofel: fwiw stable quantal ISO's don't last very long in KVM as well23:10

shadeslayer( I was looking into SpeechControl earlier today )23:13
phillwshadeslayer: just at a beta launch, but some further work to do before we ask for testers.23:13

shadeslayerI only recently started watching it23:26
phillwI've loved since the film that came out as the pilot.23:26
shadeslayerI wonder why casper-new-uuid repacks the intrid23:26
shadeslayer*initrd23:27
phillwI get to see some SG-U every so often. My friend in USA has the entire SG1 box sets.... I'm sooooo jealous!23:27
phillwbut, now to go mount the lvm and see if I can get the log files off it.23:28
yofelThe film was cool. I then never really got hooked by the SG-1 series but liked Atlantis. SG-U is kind of boring, dunno why23:28
phillwSG-U has its moments, I felt the same about atalantis when it started, so time will tell. The ending of Atlantis was pretty spectacluar!23:29
yofelhm23:35
yofelanyone an idea why I would have a cron process running when I stopped cron?23:36
yofeland if I kill it it just respawns23:36
yofelseems like it's controlled by init - but upstart says I have no cron running and if I start it I have 2 cron processes @_@23:37
yofel...23:39
