ochosibrainwash: mm, nice00:03
Unit193Hrm, did another update and just now am pulling in the new apparmor, so now it seems like dbus was pulled in before the apparmor update, causing issues?00:07
brainwashUnit193: quite possible00:08

jjfrv8bluesabre, one question is about tags not working. I'm using the Xfce Terminal doc as an example, per ochosi's suggestion.00:10
jjfrv8When I use tags like gui, key an figure on your playground, they don't do anything.00:10
jjfrv8and00:11
ochosijjfrv8: oh, it's possible that the xfce-wiki uses extensions that bluesabre hasn't installed yet on his dokuwiki00:11
ochosiso don't worry, they'll show up in the real docs00:11
jjfrv8But I can't preview them then? :(00:11
ochosii think we'll figure out what extensions are needed and install them asap00:12
knomewait, what tags?00:12
knomeshould the wiki support docbook stuff?00:12
knomeor is that even the final format00:12
ochosijjfrv8: could you point me to an example tag?00:12
jjfrv8Can you look at what I've got in the playground?  Those three tags I mentioned I copied right from the Terminal doc.00:13
jjfrv8'gui', 'key', 'figure'00:13
ochosiokies00:15
ochosiwill check up on what is needed for those00:15
jjfrv8Cool.00:15
ochosiyou know you need to use Sean's PPA for the latest parole version?00:16
ochosior in general, do you have any other questions wrt parole docs?00:18
jjfrv8Yeah, I've got that on my test machine. 00:18
jjfrv8the only other question was how can I delete stuff from the media manager on the wiki. Didn't see any option for that.00:19
jjfrv8As for the content, I'm not far enough along to have any questions there yet.00:20
ochosithat might be something only the admin (sean) can do00:20
jjfrv8I thought I would start with something easy, like configuring preferences.00:20
ochosibut i'm not sure, anyway, i wouldn't worry about that too much00:20
ochosisounds cool00:20
jjfrv8Okay, I just put some non-xubuntu images up there and didn't want you wondering what the heck that was all about.00:22
ochosihehe00:22
ochosidon't worry about those00:22
Unit193brainwash: 1.  Nope, not (just) the late packages.  2. Saucy generic kernel is required, liquorix and one from kernel.org won't do.  You're safe to upgrade. :/00:23
brainwashUnit193: one does not simply use a non-ubuntu kernel :P00:26
Unit193brainwash: Guess not in saucy, I had to all during raring though...00:26
brainwashso the bug report is not valid then I guess00:26
ochosijjfrv8: ok, gotta head to bed now, just ping bluesabre or me if you run into problems00:31
jjfrv8Thx, ochosi.00:32
ochosinp, thank you!00:32
Unit193This, this is part of the reason I should _never_ do bug reports. >_<00:32
knomepleia2, actually lately, we keep the keys to respinning and stuff ;)00:32
Unit193brainwash: Yes.00:32
Unit193Hopefully I don't come off as a total idiot. :/00:33
brainwashUnit193: don't worry :)00:33
knomepleia2, nooo, no changing color wall ;)00:33
brainwashthe report might help other users facing the same issue00:34
Unit193Hope so. :/00:35
ochosijjfrv8: just as a final mention before i go, the format will remain dokuwiki, not something like docbook (just to be clear)00:35
jjfrv8I think I'm with you there. I was following the dokuwiki syntax guide.00:38
pleia2knome: aw, no?00:46
knomepleia2, nah. :)00:46
pleia2oh well :)00:46
knomeyeah.00:46
knomewe're planning it for 14.04 though, since that still needed work...00:47
* pleia2 nods00:47
knomebut +1 for the interview generally00:48
knomeshould we social-mediaize that?00:49

knomeyeah, why not00:55
knomei think it's a different story00:55
knome(than the usual)00:56
* pleia2 nods00:56
Unit193brainwash: Heh, he changed it from Invalid to In Progress, interesting.01:29
bluesabreochosi: maybe if we catch nick we can see what extensions he has installed in dokuwiki (or other tweaks) to make it work that way?03:14

micahgtrying to get packages up05:28
micahgI'm having trouble with xfce4-panel05:31
micahgI have libxfce4ui and I think the indicator will build if I can get the panel to build05:31
Unit193Yeah, blues had the problem with the panel as well.05:35

micahgochosi: here's what I have http://people.ubuntu.com/~micahg/xfce4-panel/05:56
micahgI can't seem to get configure working05:57
Unit193Seems you're missing a few build-deps, you're also on the wrapper3 branch I'd assume.  They seem to have switched something, and when I gave a shot at it I had to change something, not sure if I just called ./autogen.sh or not though.06:10
Unit193I don't remember if ido was for the xfce4-indicator-lugin or panel.06:11
Unit193libido-0.1-dev, libido3-0.1-dev, xfce4-dev-tools, gtk-doc-tools, libtool, exo-utils   is what blues had, and I remember being annoyed that I had to get the gtk docs for it to be happy about missing parts.06:11

ali1234micahg: your xfce4-panel package has no configure script in it, the one from the repos does07:29
ali1234so i think you need to run autogen.sh before creating the orig.tar.gz07:29

elfyoh not checked that 13:32
brainwashso basically a fresh installation13:33

brainwashI tried it reproduce this issue yesterday, fired up my vm, booted into live mode and applied some updates.. and my virtual display turned into ascii art13:35
brainwashdid not try a secoond time :)13:35
elfy:)13:35
brainwashelfy: is the package "consolekit" installed on the affected system?13:43
brainwashthat might explain it13:44
brainwashI'm pretty sure something pulled consolekit on my test system13:45
elfynot here13:45
elfyvm fails to restart - I'll install consolekit13:46
brainwashlxde I guess, so yea.. update manager requires gnome session manager (running) or consolekit to restart13:46
brainwashbut consolekit is deprecated13:47
brainwashand xubuntu does not ship it anymore (logind is now used for tasks like restart/shutdown/..)13:47
elfybah13:49
elfynot going to be looking now 13:51
elfyso another related issue for us then13:54
brainwashso installing consolekit does solve it?13:56
elfynot sure - I'd restarted it 13:59
elfywill wait till the next one13:59
olbin13:59
brainwashit would explain, why only xubuntu is affected14:03
elfywell - anyone affected will have need for a restart in it given the kernel update14:04
elfyochosi: if you've not updated - can you see if you have consolekit installed, if not install it then try update manager14:04

brainwashslickymaster: open a terminal and run "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart"15:43
brainwash(it will restart your system eventually)15:44
brainwashbut consolekit is NOT the problem, it's the missing support for logind15:44
slickymasterbrainwash: just rebooted. Is there any steps further you'd like me to do?15:49
brainwashslickymaster: no, now we just need to wait for the update-manager dev(s) to provide a patch/fix :)15:51
slickymasterbrainwash: Just curious, did I send any kind of a report with that command?15:53
brainwashno, it is just a dbus call15:54
brainwashtelling the consolekit daemon to restart the system15:55
slickymasterbrainwash: tks15:55
brainwashbut a fresh installation of Xubuntu 13.10 does now rely on logind instead of consolekit, so this call would do return an error message15:56
slickymasterbrainwash: thanks for the explanation15:58
jjfrv8elfy, brainwash, not sure if you still wanted this tested or not. I just installed consolekit, ran update manager and restart button worked.16:26
brainwashjjfrv8: thanks for confirming :)16:44
brainwashhowever, installing consolekit is an ugly workaround, remove it after the issue has been fixed16:46
ochosibrainwash: is there already a bugreport for the update-manager restart issue?18:13

ochosihehe18:19
ochosiyeah, please do that18:19
ochosii mean after all, even for them going through logind makes more sense (imho)18:20

brainwashone more time: it is  deprecated and replaced by logind :)18:37
knomelol, oki18:37
knomethen it's a bit more complicated18:38
brainwashthe only complication would be to find a dev who is not busy18:39
knomewell, yes...18:40
brainwashI assume everyone of them is kinda busy right now before the RC release18:40
knomewhen did this bug appear?18:40
knomeor, when was consolekit dropped?18:40
knomeif it's not a recent change, then it is hard to justify asking others to fix it (since unfortunately, we should've noticed it before)18:41

brainwash"don't recommend consolekit anymore"18:41
knomemhm18:43
knomeyeah, we should've spotted that earlier18:43
ochosiyeah i guess18:43
ochosibut it could've been fixed by ubuntu too18:43
ochosii mean update-manager is kinda their app and they also made the switch to logind18:44
ochosiso it's not *totally* uncalled for to ask them to patch18:44
knomeyep18:44
ochosibut really, it should be more or less a one-liner i'd presume, no?18:44
knomebut it *is* the last day before final freeze18:44
knomeno idea.18:44
brainwashit's basically copy&paste18:44
brainwashhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/update-manager/saucy/view/head:/UpdateManager/Dialogs.py#L27518:44
brainwashso I don't bother to submit a patch, because it is easy fixable18:45
knomeit is not clear to me how it's copy&paste (i'm not a developer though) and i would say a patch always helps18:46
ochosiwell if you submit a patch, chances are higher that someone will upload it18:46
knomeit's much easier to review a patch than look and dig into the issue18:46
knomeyep, and if we have a patch it's easier to ask people18:47
brainwashright18:49

brainwasha dev would still need to mark consolekit as deprecated, maybe change the order of calls and add some sort of warning if all methods fail... the last point it actually the reason, why it took so long to resolve this issue19:18

brainwashUnit193: the updated patch did the tick, right?22:47
brainwashtrick22:48
ochosiweird, the update-manager still doesn't show22:48
ochosijust updated the patch (even though there was no diff)22:49
ochosimaybe i need to restart my session or some service22:49
brainwashreinstall it perhaps22:50
ochosiwell that also makes your patch go away22:50
brainwashyou can reapply it22:50
ochosisure, but that shouldn't make any difference22:50
brainwashnext time I double check the crap which I upload22:51
brainwashso update-manager without the patch works fine?22:52
ochosiok, restart fixed update-manager22:53
Unit193OK, nah, the old one doesn't work for sure.22:54
brainwashyes, next time I'll test it myself22:56
* Unit193 doesn't like the new `patch` :/22:57
ochosiUnit193: why, what's up with that?22:57
Unit193It thinks you're too stupid to use full paths, thus it calls them dangerous and skips it.22:58
brainwashso the patch format is not ideal?22:59
Unit193brainwash: No, it's great.22:59
Unit193Anyway, new one tested working?22:59
brainwashworks for me22:59
brainwashI'll fire up a vm too, just to make sure23:01
Unit193Alright, well what I tried didn't work.23:02
brainwashUnit193: what exactly? "didn't work" is not very helpful23:07
brainwashI assume you always launch update-manager from inside a terminal window, right?23:07
Unit193Heh, indeed it doesn't.  It's fairly simple, patched it using http://lpaste.net/94086 it pulled in the updates, and hitting restart did not do a thing.23:08
Unit193I never launch update-manager, so I made sure all were killed before, and opened it from Settings Manager.23:08
brainwashnonono23:09
brainwashhttp://lpaste.net/9410323:10

Unit193Ah, I see.  At the time the other was latest. :P23:10
brainwashthere are only 2 versions23:10
brainwashnot working and working :)23:11
ochosihow did you get it to show the restart thingy again?23:11
ochosii mean what pkgs did you remove exactly23:11
Unit193Yeah, you updated it after I ran the test.  I can try again though.23:12
brainwashI reinstalled the current kernel23:13
ochosibut that removes the -generic pkg for me23:13
ochosiif i remove that i mean23:13
brainwashit will remove the kernel meta package23:13
brainwashreinstall it23:13
ochosiyeah but reinstalling does pull the latest kernel again23:13
brainwashhow about upstart?23:14
brainwashor udev?23:14
brainwashnah, udev possibly not23:14
Unit193apt-cache policy linux-image-generic  that give more than one version?23:14
brainwashit's a meta package23:15
brainwashdepends on the latest version23:16
Unit193Sure, but install an older version and you can purge the latest kernel then the meta will want to upgrade, which needs a rebboot.23:17
Unit193Well, it'd need a reboot at least.23:17
brainwashright23:17
