| ubot5 | Gnome bug 686834 in general "installing alternate software from 'default apps' panel" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 01:53 |
| darkxst | though I would ping upstream to see what they think of the idea | 01:54 |
| darkxst | jbicha, just out of interest, do you think I would qualify for ubuntu membership? | 02:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | darkxst, i'm an ubuntu member, i could help gauge thaqt | 02:08 |
| TheLordOfTime | darkxst, what's your LP page? | 02:08 |
| TheLordOfTime | and what're your contributions thus far? | 02:09 |
| darkxst | TheLordOfTime, https://launchpad.net/~darkxst | 02:10 |
| TheLordOfTime | and also, what're your contributions thus far? | 02:10 |
| TheLordOfTime | ah, you recently joined bugsquad :P | 02:11 |
| darkxst | fix quite a bunch of bugs relating to ubuntu gnome | 02:11 |
| darkxst | gdm, gnome-shell, casper and a few other random ones | 02:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | any other contributions? | 02:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 02:11 |
| darkxst | and if it counts gnome-shell extensions | 02:12 |
| darkxst | and some upstream bugfixes as well | 02:12 |
| * TheLordOfTime greps through the lp profile | 02:13 | |
| TheLordOfTime | well, your bugs work is significant :p | 02:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | i can't speak to the upstream aspect. :P | 02:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | my contribs that got me my membership were mainly support work on ask ubuntu, but i don't see a reason your membership would be rejected | 02:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | and you've been here quite a while :P | 02:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | you'd get my support from the bugs side of things | 02:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | there's not much in terms of what you have to do to get membership other than be an active member of the community with sustained contributions | 02:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | in some way shape or form | 02:16 |
| everaldo | what is a ubuntu membership? | 02:17 |
| darkxst | everaldo, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership | 02:18 |
| darkxst | TheLordOfTime, would you provide a testimonial for me, (once I fill out my wiki page?) | 02:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | fill out your wiki page and then we'll talk :P | 02:20 |
| * TheLordOfTime has his own focus atm, creating his wiki page for Per-Package Upload Rights for NGINX | 02:20 | |
| TheLordOfTime | that, and rebuilding TrekWeb's site :P | 02:21 |
| everaldo | darkxst, nice, I think that you deserves membership | 02:22 |
| darkxst | TheLordOfTime, ok thanks, will get back to you then! | 02:23 |
| darkxst | everaldo, thanks, might hit you up a testimonial as well, when I am ready! | 02:23 |
| everaldo | darkxst, I am not a member :( | 02:25 |
| everaldo | but if it helps, I can provide a testimonial | 02:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | everaldo, you should see my wiki page, a few people who gave me testimonials arent exactly members | 02:29 |
| everaldo | then count with me :) | 02:29 |
| jbicha | darkxst: there's actually 2 ways to become a member, there's also becoming a Ubuntu Contributing Developer | 02:38 |
| jbicha | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#ContribDev | 02:38 |
| jbicha | it doesn't provide any upload rights but you'd be judged based on your development contributions (i.e. packaging & bugfixes) | 02:39 |
| jbicha | I don't know if that would be better in your case | 02:41 |
| darkxst | jbicha, yeh right, certainly don't expect to get upload rights yet | 02:41 |
| darkxst | but I guess most of the stuff I have been doing is definately dev stuff | 02:41 |
| jbicha | "sustained" is generally interpreted as 6 months of activity | 02:41 |
| darkxst | but can that include upstream gnome stuff? | 02:42 |
| jbicha | while upstream contributions are generally encouraged as the right thing to do, it's a bit unclear whether that can substitute for working in Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| jbicha | I think several board members want to see "significant and sustained" for Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| everaldo | hehe, just added some small changes to iso-build script and now if we define PROXY=something | 02:50 |
| everaldo | it really speed up all process, including debootstrap | 02:50 |
| everaldo | just installed apt-cacher-ng and then | 02:51 |
| everaldo | PROXY=http://localhost:3142 ./livecd-script.sh customize amd64 ./ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 02:51 |
| darkxst | jbicha, so do you think I should apply or wait a bit more, I guess a lot of my work over the last year was upstream/extensions prior to the birth of UGR | 02:53 |
| darkxst | but I have been around for 5 years reporting and trying to fix bugs | 02:54 |
| jbicha | based on https://launchpad.net/~darkxst/+related-software alone it looks like you should wait a few more months for Contributing Developer, but you may be ready for regular membership though | 02:55 |
| jbicha | you can also read through the IRC meeting logs to get an idea of which applicants are successful | 02:56 |
| darkxst | lol, thats because gdm took so much *fixing* | 02:57 |
| darkxst | something like ~15 bugs for gdm alone ... | 02:57 |
| jbicha | fixing *Ubuntu* bugs upstream definitely counts, you just have to explain that to the board members | 02:58 |
| darkxst | hmm I just mean that page would likely have had more packages on it, if gdm hadn't been so broken ;) | 03:04 |
| jbicha | I was speaking about the time aspect, not the quantity or quality | 03:05 |
| darkxst | ah ok | 03:07 |
| TheLordOfTime | jbicha, know anything about what is considered for PPU rights after an applicant applies? | 03:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | i.e. what they look for :P | 03:17 |
| jbicha | TheLordOfTime: I don't know as I haven't gone through that process, I have MOTU & ubuntu-desktop rights but the Desktop Team has its own procedure (basically an email and like 3 +1s) instead of PPU | 03:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | jbicha, i asked about PPU because there's a few (different) packages i'm applying for, none which are directly under Desktop Team governance. It was a general question, was all. | 03:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | not targetted for any speceific niche | 03:51 |
| Noteirak | hello | 12:54 |
| smartboyhw | Hello | 12:55 |
| Noteirak | I've encountered some issues, and after finding nothing on google and in the bug tracker, I was hoping to find something here ,hopefully :) | 12:55 |
| Noteirak | the first is that I do not have any search provider in the shell, when I type some text. I've tried to add a google.xml in /usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers & open-search-providers, restart, but no luck | 12:56 |
| Noteirak | also, in dconf, there are no key reloated to the search providers in org.gnome.shell ... | 12:57 |
| Noteirak | so, am I missing something (i was a new install from ISO downloaded today, Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10) or is it a bug? | 12:57 |
| Noteirak | anyone who can help with this here? :) | 13:00 |
| smartboyhw | Noteirak, ask jbicha again maybe:P | 13:11 |
| Noteirak | oh ok, sure | 13:11 |
| Noteirak | jbicha, do you have a minute? I am having some issue (possibly a bug) and I wanted a quick check if I am not missing anything | 13:12 |
| Noteirak | if it is fine, I'll copy/paste what I wrote already | 13:12 |
| Noteirak | I do not have any search provider in the shell, when I type some text. I've tried to add a google.xml in /usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers & open-search-providers, restart, but no luck | 13:14 |
| Noteirak | also, in dconf, there are no key reloated to the search providers in org.gnome.shell ... so, am I missing something (i was a new install from ISO downloaded today, Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10) or is it a bug? | 13:14 |
| jbicha | I don't know | 13:25 |
| jbicha | but nautilus 3.6 ships /usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers/nautilus-search-provider.ini & /usr/lib/nautilus/nautilus-shell-search-provider | 13:26 |
| jbicha | you can try to figure out what Contacts & Documents do for their search providers | 13:27 |
| jbicha | but the Google/Wikipedia/opensearch provider support code may have been removed | 13:27 |
| smartboyhw | Wow jbicha you have LTS releases for GNOME Remix! (aka 12.10.1) awesome! | 13:34 |
| jbicha | smartboyhw: how else would you distinguish the respin from the original release? | 13:35 |
| smartboyhw | jbicha, er 12.10.0.1:P | 13:35 |
| jbicha | maybe but I don't think the version number is a big deal; hopefully we won't ever have to do it again :) | 13:36 |
| smartboyhw | :) | 13:36 |
| Noteirak | sorry, was on the phone | 13:36 |
| Noteirak | so | 13:36 |
| smartboyhw | jbicha, found something interesting: Is the i386 torrent link in the release notes correct? I still saw 12.10 instead of 12.10.1 | 13:37 |
| Noteirak | i'll try nautilus then | 13:37 |
| jbicha | smartboyhw: yes, there was no need to respin i386 since the bug was that efi didn't work and efi is only supported on amd64 | 13:37 |
| smartboyhw | jbicha, ah:D | 13:37 |
| Noteirak | jbicha: I'm looking with nautilus, but it is an .ini which links to another application or script or whatever I guess | 14:14 |
| Noteirak | but there is no xml, like the google.xml that is there | 14:14 |
| Noteirak | I've created a google.xml but it's not taken into account | 14:15 |
| Noteirak | so i guess the code was removed to support that :s | 14:15 |
| Noteirak | do you know, by any luck, who I should ask to have a definite answer on if it has been removed or not? | 14:17 |
| jbicha | Noteirak: you could ask in #gnome-shell on irc.gnome.org or you can search the git history | 14:22 |
| jbicha | http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/d?id=ef4231b9c0160a5 | 14:22 |
| jbicha | http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=ef4231b9c0160a5 | 14:22 |
| Noteirak | god, they removed it then :( | 14:23 |
| Noteirak | oh no | 14:23 |
| Noteirak | they just made it so it would launch directly | 14:23 |
| Noteirak | or am I understanding it wrong? | 14:23 |
| Noteirak | because if it is supposed to start google directly if I just type it in and then enter, then it simply doesn't work :D or it's not replicated in the distro I guess | 14:25 |
| jbicha | Noteirak: no there is no Google search included now; someone would have to write the extension or search provider for that | 14:27 |
| Noteirak | :( doom | 14:29 |
| Noteirak | ok thank you very much for your help | 14:29 |
| Noteirak | and for the link to the git :) that will be useful | 14:29 |
| Fitzz | Wasn't the 12.04 the first realease? | 17:44 |
| jbicha | Fitzz: not for this specific project, there was a UGR in 2011 and more recently there was a Ubuntu GNOME Shell Remix | 17:47 |
| Fitzz | Is this still the main hq web site: http://ubuntu-gs-remix.sourceforge.net/p/home/ ? | 17:48 |
| jbicha | no, that's for the Ubuntu GNOME Shell Remix (which has been discontinued); this is the Ubuntu GNOME Remix | 17:50 |
| jbicha | the names are confusing which is part of why I don't like the current name | 17:50 |
| Fitzz | Ah, ok that explanes alot. | 17:50 |
| Fitzz | Thanks :) | 17:50 |
| lapion | is there any way to get extensions for gnome-classic to work ? | 20:37 |
| jbicha | lapion: define "extensions" | 20:37 |
| lapion | well right now the panel(s) are unmutable | 20:38 |
| lapion | and I usually have (under gnome2) at the very least diskmount and cpu setting extension active | 20:39 |
| lapion | and I in general like to add more panels and do with them as I please.. | 20:39 |
| trism | lapion: alt+right click to edit the panel (or maybe alt+super+right click if using compiz) | 20:39 |
| lapion | hmm thanks.. trism | 20:40 |
| lapion | now I am willing to go over to quantal quetzal | 20:42 |
| lapion | however, I need to cross upgrade to gnome-ubuntu.... | 20:43 |
| lapion | any advice/hints ? | 20:43 |
| darkxst | lapion, read the release notes | 20:44 |
| lapion | cross-grading | 20:44 |
| lapion | from ubuntu to gnome-buntu | 20:44 |
| darkxst | upgrade to Q first, and apply changes in release notes | 20:45 |
| darkxst | you can't directly dist-upgrade to ubuntu gnome | 20:45 |
| * lapion thinks he will try porting the system disk to virtualbox first ;-) | 20:46 | |
| * lapion will maybe simply copy the root to another partition and try.. | 20:48 | |
| * lapion thinks he should rely more on tar then go blindfolded into this.. | 20:52 | |
| darkxst | jbicha_, we need to sync telepathy-logger from debian | 22:50 |
| darkxst | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-logger/+bug/1049210 | 22:50 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1049210 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Gnome-shell notification from empathy doesn't contain any text" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 22:50 |
| jbicha_ | darkxst: 0.4.0-2 fixes that bug? | 22:55 |
| darkxst | yes, it does, specifically this patch 0002-log-manager-Fix-annotations-on-get_filtered_events.patch | 22:56 |
| jbicha_ | ok, we can't do a straight sync since we need to have a LP bug in the debian/changelog for SRU verification | 22:57 |
| darkxst | ah right | 22:58 |
| jbicha_ | I think you'd want to just add a changelog entry for 0.4.0-2~ubuntu12.04.1 saying that it's a no-change backport with the LP bug # | 22:58 |
| jbicha_ | and then if you were building the source package for upload to Ubuntu, you'd want to add -v0.4.0-1 to get both your changelog entry & Debian's in the .changes file | 23:00 |
| jbicha_ | debuild -S -v0.4.0-1 | 23:00 |
| jbicha_ | but since you're not uploading you don't need that information yet | 23:02 |
| darkxst | jbicha_, does this look right? https://code.launchpad.net/~darkxst/telepathy-logger/lp1049210 | 23:10 |
| jbicha_ | yeah that should be good | 23:12 |
| darkxst | jbicha_, and then do I open merge request or attach debdiff? | 23:14 |
| jbicha_ | darkxst: either is fine | 23:16 |
| darkxst | jbicha_, ok, all done https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1049210 | 23:36 |
