ESphynxhey guys... I'm running on up to date Saucy right now, and I keep making the gtk-window-decorator crash13:32
ESphynx Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_drawable_get_depth: assertion 'GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed13:32
ESphynxI would like to figure out whether my Ecere toolkit is doing anything bad, or it's just a bad unfixed bug  in GTK?13:32
ESphynxhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1266572 -- Well :)13:37
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1266572 in compiz (Ubuntu) "gtk-window-decorator crashes randomly" [Undecided,New]13:37
ESphynxI don't even get an option to file a bug though when that happens?13:37
ESphynxWoah... this is pretty bad. I just go 'gdb gtk-window-decorator' , run, and I get the crash right away13:39

fully_humanHello. I'm applying my first bug fix for Ubuntu Bug Week. In the changelog should I add (LP: ...) or (Closes: ...)?16:55
cjwatson(LP: #nnnnnn) is the syntax to close an Ubuntu bug16:55
cjwatson(closes: #nnnnnn) is the syntax to close a Debian bug (when uploading to Debian)16:56
fully_humanAh, thanks.16:56
cjwatsonThe latter already existed and we didn't want to introduce ambiguity by reusing it with a different bug number namespace16:56
fully_humanYeah, I saw the note in the docs that Closes is for debian, but I didn't know if that meant debian-ish (the docs sometimes do).16:56
fully_humanWhat does "bzr bd -- -S" mean when it complains "dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes"? It refers me to a file that complains about my changelog message.17:08
fully_humanI'll pastebin the changelog in a bit.17:09
cjwatsonThat suggests you've put your changelog message in the wrong place.  It should be in debian/changelog, and dpkg-source won't consider things under debian/ to be "upstream".17:09
cjwatsonUnless I'm misunderstanding.17:09
fully_humanIt is in debian/changelog.17:10
cjwatsonThen I doubt it's actually *complaining* about your changelog message as such; that is, that isn't the error.17:10
cjwatsonThe majority of packages require that patches to upstream source be kept in debian/patches/17:11
fully_humanThe build failed, though.17:11
cjwatsonIf debian/source/format says "3.0 (quilt)" (which is the most common case nowadays), then you need to use quilt when editing upstream source17:11
cjwatsonAnd dpkg-source is probably complaining that you edited it directly instead17:11
cjwatsonThis is so that patches are separated and easily forwardable to the upstream maintainer17:12
fully_humanAh, okay, yeah, it says quilt.17:12
fully_humanThanks.17:12
fully_humanHm...so do I cat the output of 'quilt diff' into a file and then 'quilt add' that file? I'm sorry...the doc I'm reading (http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug-example.html) doesn't have anything on quilt.17:19
cjwatsonNo - /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source has basic instructions17:20
cjwatsonYou can also abbreviate the steps of running "quilt add FILE" then editing the file, as "quilt edit FILE"17:20
fully_humanSo after I run quilt refresh then I run 'bzr bd -- -S'?17:59
cjwatsonSounds plausible18:00
fully_humanHm, I went through all the steps for quilting but when I run 'bzr bd -- -S' this is the error I get: "dpkg-source: error: cannot read inkscape-0.48.4.orig.lzzAHP/debian/patches/bug-807861-typo-in-src_widgets_toolbox_cpp: No such file or directory"18:15
fully_humanThe bug-80.... is a new patch that I created with 'quilt new'.18:16
cjwatsonYou might have forgotten to "bzr add" it18:17
cjwatson(I tend to just use "debuild -S" personally, but "bzr bd -S" will I suppose provide a better check of whether your bzr working tree is right)18:18

fully_humanSo I'm now trying to run pbuilder-dist on the dsc file. It's trying to install a bunch of packages but doesn't ask me for the admin password so the install fails. Any work-around? thanks.22:54
fully_humanThis two minute bug fix is turning into a day-long project. :(22:54
Ampelbeinfully_human: use "sudo pbuilder-dist ...."?22:56
jtaylorno pbuilder calls sudo for you22:56
jtaylorcan you paste a log?22:56
fully_humanIt won't even run as root. :-\22:56
fully_humanpbuilder-dist: Error: You don't own $HOME22:56
fully_humanThat's if I run it with sudo.22:56
fully_humanI'll run it without root now and paste the results...22:57
