hyperairaha found it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/ApplicationProcess02:11
Noskcajhyperair, tip: Don't apply be email, and i think the 19UTC meeting has a waiting list02:35
hyperairhuh?02:58
hyperairNoskcaj: any reason why?03:00
NoskcajBecause applying by email takes a month or more03:01
hyperair¬_¬ really?03:01
Snow-Manthere's a waiting list?  hahahaha03:01
NoskcajWhereas applying by irc take 1 hour max03:01
hyperairi'll wait for Laney to say something then.03:01
hyperair19UTC today?03:02
NoskcajIt's later this month the 19utc meeting03:02
hyperairi see03:02

Noskcajpitti, debian just finished the libgphoto transition, but they chose a different -dev package name to you. We might need to do a second transition06:38
pittiNoskcaj: right; libgphoto2-dev is indeed saner, but I didn't want to change the naming schema in Ubuntu only06:44
pittiNoskcaj: shouldn't be a big deal, it's just adjusting < 10 build deps of packages; that can be done very quickly06:45
pittiNoskcaj: ah, were you looking at merging libgphoto2?06:45
Noskcajyeah06:45
pittiNoskcaj: if you are, I can do the transition for the build dep renaming06:45
NoskcajI'm trying to get the pkg-phototools stuff in a decent state.06:46
NoskcajI can do all the work, just will need sponsoring06:46
pittiwe used to be able to sync libgphoto2, perhaps we can even do that again06:46
pittiNoskcaj: nah, don't try to do the libgphoto2-6-dev → libgphoto2-dev transition06:46
Noskcajok06:46
pittithat's like zero brain work, just mechanical; without upload privs, sponsoring is more work than just doing it06:46
Noskcajmakes sense06:47
pittiooh, Debian has a .hwdb file now?06:47
pitti*want*06:47
pittiNoskcaj: hopefully the only remaining change is dh-autoreconf (and that can be reported to Debian)06:49
Noskcajlooks like just the autoreconf06:50
NoskcajCould you test if we do actually need the autoreconf?06:52
pittiNoskcaj: and it's missing the "Replaces: libgphoto2-2" on libgphoto2-606:52
Noskcajok06:52
pittiit reintroduces libgphoto2-2-dev, that should just be dropped again for our merge, too06:53
pittimeh, and debian missed to update some 2-2 to 2-6 in various *.isntall06:53
pittiNoskcaj: looks like you actually need to walk through the whole debian/ubuntu diff; there are several fixes that ought to be done to Debian's package, too, so that will spit out some bug reports06:54
pittiNoskcaj: autoreconf isn't necessary, debian already has --with autotools_dev06:54
pittiNoskcaj: I mean, that delta can be dropped06:55
* Noskcaj decides to try and fix everything in debian instead06:55
pitti*nod*06:55
pittiNoskcaj: also, Debian still installs the *.udev file, that ought to go06:55
pittihaving *both* a .rules and a .hwdb is just unnecessary overhead06:55
NoskcajHow do i merge git branches? The debian uploader did his work in a separate branch06:56
hyperairgit merge06:56
pittisohudl just be "git checkout master; git merge <branch name>"06:56
pittior even pull, for cleaner history06:56
hyperairafaik there's no difference between git fetch+merge and git pull06:57
hyperairunless you're talking about pull -r06:57
hyperairwhich is equivalent to rebase06:57
pittimaybe; so far I never merged in git06:58
pittithe git world is pretty deeply entrenched to the concept of "send git-formatted patches to MLs or bug reports"  workflow, at least in the gnome and plumbing world06:58
hyperairpitti: yeah, but in the github world it's deeply entrenched in "send me a pull request"07:00
pitti*nod*07:00
* hyperair prefers the git-formatted patches approach though, for individual fixes07:00
hyperairfor stuff that involves a non-linear history, then i upload somewhere and tell whoever to pull07:01
pittiyes, it works quite well for those "little contributions"07:01
pittifor developing a major new feature, branches work better though07:01
hyperairwell, yes07:02
hyperairit really depends on the kind of contribution we're talking about07:02
hyperairimo it's more about the kind of commits that it generates that determines which approach is better rather than the kind of work you're doing.07:02
Noskcajcrap, alioth git is still broken07:06
Noskcajpitti, If you have the time, please do the merge into ubuntu. It will be quite some time before this get's fully fixed in debian, and you actually understand the current changes07:11

davmor2tseliot: Morning.  Got hit by bug #1277014 this morning.  I did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and everything is working again now.  I'm wondering if it might be that there is something racy there as I was hit by it yesterday when I used it a lot12:08
ubottuError: Launchpad bug 1277014 could not be found12:08
Chipacasince the last update, ctrl+space is popping up a keyboard layout switch thingie12:11

Chipacaseb128: thanks12:18
seb128Chipaca, yw12:18
Chipacaseb128: are you aware of a bug about this?12:18
seb128Chipaca, does changing it resolve the issue?12:18
Chipacaseb128: I mean: should changing this (in ibus-setup) do the same as changing whatever the indicator thingie changes?12:18
seb128no, I don't know how a bug about that12:18
seb128happyaron, ^12:19
seb128Chipaca, that was discussed in the past, I'm still unsure what the differences between both are12:19
seb128imho the ibus one should be unset by default12:19
seb128but I want happyaron to confirm, since he maintains ibus12:19
Chipacaalso, ctrl-space offering two layouts when i only have one configured is quite surprising12:20
seb128what are the 2 ones?12:20
tseliotdavmor2: ok, thanks, I'll investigate the issue12:20
Chipacaseb128: one is "English (US)". The other is "English (interna...". I believe the second one is the one I have configured, which starts with the same string.12:21
seb128Chipaca, I think US is added to the list as a fallback, it should probably not be displayed in the switcher though12:21
Chipacaalso the indicator calling the bar where it's shown it the "menu bar" is not nice12:22
davmor2tseliot: I turned on the laptop about 4-5 times yesterday for various bits no issues, this morning turn it on and I was dropped to low gfx mode (which doesn't seem to work at all, by the way) dist-upgrade and now I'm back to a working system :) I Don't think there was anything GFX wise installed I'll double check though12:22
* Chipaca stops moaning and gets back to work12:23

seb128shadeslayer, but mvo is the closest from a maintainer for it12:25
tseliotdavmor2: ok12:25
shadeslayerseb128: well because apparently it doesn't work on any of the flavors or ubuntu for that matter12:25
mptChipaca, except for maximized window buttons, that stuff is all menus. Compare the Power panel of System Settings, and the Clock tab of the Time & Date panel.12:26

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1261178 in firefox (Ubuntu) "apturl links stopped working after firefox 16" [Undecided,Triaged]12:26
shadeslayerseb128: that sorts it out on Ubuntu and Xubuntu at the very least12:26
shadeslayerbut not on Kubuntu12:26
Chipacampt: the indicators are considered menus?12:27
seb128shadeslayer, that bug is about firefox, not apturl12:27
mptChipaca, that was the whole point of introducing them in the first place.12:27
shadeslayerseb128: it most certainly is since apturl.js is provided by apturl12:27
shadeslayerapturl-common: /etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js12:28
davmor2tseliot: no x-org but there was a kernel+headers etc update so that may of had an effect12:28
seb128shadeslayer, running e.g12:28
seb128$ apturl-gtk apt:samba12:28
seb128works fine for me12:28
shadeslayerseb128: changed affected package to apturl12:28
shadeslayerseb128: sure, but try : apt://samba in firefox12:28
Chipacampt: the point of indicators was not to call them menus, i'm sure12:28
seb128shadeslayer, "sure", you just said that apturl didn't work12:29
seb128shadeslayer, do you have an example of website using an apt url?12:29
mptChipaca, http://design.canonical.com/2010/04/notification-area/12:29
shadeslayerokay, maybe I worded it poorly, but the bug is clearly in apturl since it does not symlink the file12:29
shadeslayerseb128: apps.ubuntu.com ? :)12:30
seb128shadeslayer, ok, I understand what you mean now, but it's not "apturl doesn't work at all", it's "apturl integration is buggy"12:30

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1261178 in apturl (Ubuntu) "apturl links stopped working after firefox 16" [Undecided,Triaged]12:31
seb128chrisccoulson, reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1169320/comments/2 ... should /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref be used indeed?12:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1169320 in firefox (Ubuntu) "Firefox 21 no more apply global default preferences from dir" [Undecided,Invalid]12:36
seb128shadeslayer, I'm going to get it fixed, thanks for pointing the issue12:39
chrisccoulsonseb128, yes, it's a firefox issue12:40
chrisccoulsonadding a preference override is definitely not the correct fix though12:40
seb128chrisccoulson, should apturl just install that file in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref ? that seems to make things work12:40
chrisccoulsonseb128, no, that's wrong. nobody should be installing any files in there12:40
seb128chrisccoulson, ok, what's the correct fix then? ;-)12:41
chrisccoulsonthe URI handling in firefox needs fixing12:41
seb128shrug12:41
seb128that sounds like something non trivial :/12:41
seb128chrisccoulson, can I just do the wrong thing and install the file in that dir nobody should be using until that happens? ;-)12:42
chrisccoulsonseb128, no, please don't do that ;)12:43
seb128chrisccoulson, can you fix the url handling then? ;-)12:43
chrisccoulsonit needs somebody who understands the code in http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/d8d8fa98ee7d/uriloader/exthandler ;)12:43
seb128chrisccoulson, if you say so, I'm unsure why we needed that apturl.js at all, I assumed it was because that's not a standard handler12:45

cjwatsonthe current blocker is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opengtl/0.9.18-0ubuntu1/+build/5378634, since arm64 never had llvm-3.3; it might be worth attempting to bump that to llvm-3.413:30

rbasakConflicting packages can be concurrently be in a removed-but-not-purged state, right?15:13
cjwatsonYes15:15
rbasakThanks15:15
rbasakSo mysql-server-5.5 owns /var/lib/mysql, and conflicts with mysql-server-5.6 (say), which does the same, and they conflict. What's the expected behaviour on package purge? Should /var/lib/mysql, which contains the relevant database itself, be purged? Currently, there's some really ugly code in this area.15:18
rbasakThere's a debconf option to say what should happen, but also code to try and not do the purge if a different mysql-server-* is installed, since otherwise it would destroy the wrong data.15:19

ClientAliveI would like to apply the patch given for bug 1161594 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdevilspie/+bug/1161594?comments=all   but I am not comfortable enough with the process and don't feel the instruction given in post #9 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdevilspie/+bug/1161594/comments/9   is adequate for me. Would someone be so kind as to clarify the instructions given in post #9, make sure nothing is missing,17:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1161594 in gdevilspie (Ubuntu) "Gdevilspie fails to start with no attribute 'xdg_config_home'" [High,Triaged]17:26
ClientAliveand walk me through the process for me, my first time doing something like this ?17:26
argesClientAlive: so this is a bug in trusty?17:44
ClientAlivearges: I'm running Saucy17:45
ClientAliveIt is a bug for me17:45
argesClientAlive: ok so you know its a bug in saucy. So generally we first need to see if its a bug in the development release before we do whats called an SRU to stable releases17:46
argesfrom the look of it both trusty/saucy are the same version17:46
ClientAlivearges: I kinda need this app ( in fact, I was hoping to use it today ). Is there anything I can do?17:46
ClientAliveok17:47
=== deryck_ is now known as deryck
argesClientAlive: so to get the package properly fixed it takes time. The SRU process can't happen immediately since it needs to go through testing and verification17:48
argesClientAlive: it looks like somebody posted a test package that you could try to verify on your own system, and in the meantime we work on getting it fixed properly17:48
argesClientAlive: are you the author of this fix?17:49
ClientAlivearges: No I am not. While I am studying to be a web developer/sortware developer, I'm far from knowing how to do something like that.17:50
argesClientAlive: ok let me take a look17:50
ClientAlivearges: When you say test package, are you referring to post #10 ? Is that what that .deb is?17:51
ClientAliveok17:51
ClientAlivethank you17:51
argesClientAlive: yea a .deb is a debian package. This is what ubuntu/debian use to package and install software17:51
argesClientAlive: so you could download that package and type 'dpkg -i <name of package>' in a terminal, or double click on the .deb file. You should be careful to ensure you trust the package you are installed17:51
argesinstalling17:51
ClientAlivearges: Ok, cool. May I ask, should I first remove the gdevilspie I installed through software center? And, if so, what is the best way to do that? My concern is mainly to do with whether I need to remove both devilspie and gdevilspie or if just removing gdevilspie would be sufficiant. Also, Would it be better to do a apt-get purge --autoremove   or something other?17:54
ClientAliveThanks17:54
argesClientAlive: should be able to just install it without removing since it should be built against the same version17:57
ClientAlivearges: Thanks17:57

=== bfiller is now known as bfiller_afk
jtaylordoko: so how would be bootstrap pandas/statsmodels on arm64?18:13
ClientAliveGuess I spoke too soon. Yes, gdevilspie does launch with that .deb installed, and yes the setting to autolaunch the daemon does stay set. However, after closing and restarting the application, it claims the daemon is not running ( even though the option remains ticked ). I don't know if the massage is accurate or not ( that the daemon is not running ) but that's a pretty crucial patrt of gdevilspie.18:14
ClientAliveJust thought I'd share. fwiw anyhow.18:14
argesClientAlive: please add that feedback to the bug. Thanks!18:15

g0twighttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2014-February/001079.html20:56
g0twigdid anyone of you take this offer?20:56
g0twigI dont know if I am allowed to accept this offer, well I am Ubuntu Member20:56
g0twigdoes this mean I am an "Ubuntu Developer"?20:57
g0twigI made code contributions to Ubuntu, to gain this status20:57
slangasekg0twig: that would be a question for Neil (on behalf of Valve); it states "Ubuntu Developers", which would mean members of the ~ubuntu-dev team in Launchpad20:59
slangasekbut I don't know if that's the intent20:59
g0twigwell, than I am not allowed :X20:59
g0twigI was into Unity stuff20:59
dobeyslangasek, g0twig: you must have upload rights to some package in the archive to get the offer21:22
slangasekdobey: ok, so the wording is deliberate and it's tied to Ubuntu Developer rights, not Ubuntu Membership - thanks for confirming21:23
dobeyslangasek: right. also, see http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/595/21:25

xnoxbarry: if you are around, what's the progress on bilingual emulators? are those in the archive yet? or can i somehow test them with my phablet-test-run branch?21:28

xnoxbarry: lol =) well there are 10 merge proposals inflight to land, and i guess autopilot re-exec will make the next round of landing.21:30
barryxnox: that's what we're working toward ;)21:30
xnoxbarry: i think i'll ask sergiusens to land phablet-tools branch, after testing it doesn't regress current test-results. Such that when autopilot lands it all just works together =)21:31
xnoxbarry: or we will just have impedance mis-match fixes to get everything onto python3.21:31

sergiusensxnox, barry we can put autopilot and phablet-tools in the same atomic train push22:17
thomisergiusens: we're in the mniddle of landing a new AP today22:17
sergiusensthomi, that's a different landing though22:18
thomidifferent to what?22:18
sergiusensread backlog ;-)22:18
xnoxthomi: next one =) autopilot re-exec branch.22:18
thomiright, but that branch isn't ready yet, AFAIK22:19
xnoxsergiusens: well, phablet-tools can go ahead, as it does a dynamic check if /usr/bin/autopilot on device is new one or old one.22:19
xnoxsergiusens: so, my changes shouldn't regress any existing tests with current autopilot & python2. And it should stay compatible, when autopilot-reexec lands.22:20
sergiusensxnox, want it in now then?22:20
sergiusensxnox, I want to wait for balloons to give me the list of ap py3 ready click tests though22:20
xnoxsergiusens: well, having it in the ppa would be nice.22:20
xnoxsergiusens: i don't think there are any py3 ap tests, since no emulators are python3 compatible in the archive.22:21
xnoxsergiusens: so no clicks should declare autopilot_dir and last time I've checked none of them do.22:21
xnoxsergiusens: did you already revert that? or did i not find those that declare that in the archive already / on the images?22:21
RAOFshadeslayer: Oh, sorry. I don't have any ability to enable deb-src on the buildds. I was just trying to extract reasoning so that someone who *does* could determine whether or not it's compelling.22:23
sergiusensxnox, I need to revert two22:23

shadeslayerRAOF: know anyone who could help me with that?22:43
RAOFshadeslayer: I'd probably poke the almighty cjwatson. That said, there's seems to be a roughly equally easy solution for you that doesn't require deb-src on the buildd - generating debian/control before upload.22:45
RAOFAs far as I can tell the only thing that wouldn't get you is on-LP binary rebuilds. But we don't have them either :)22:46
sergiusensxnox, sure; but give me a chance to review as well22:49
tkamppeterjasoncwarner, hi22:54
=== Nisstyre-laptop is now known as nisstyre
cjwatsonshadeslayer,RAOF: I think I would prefer not having to make a change to Launchpad to add deb-src to every build for the sake of a single package where there's a reasonable alternative ...23:10
shadeslayercjwatson: ack23:10
cjwatsonIt *probably* wouldn't be harmful, but it would slow every build down a bit, don't know whether it's worth it23:10
cjwatsonIs deb-src enabled in Debian buildds?23:11
cjwatsonHmm, https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=grub2&arch=amd64&ver=2.02~beta2-6&stamp=1390961236 suggests it is23:11
cjwatsonMaybe it's worth doing just for the sake of alignment then?23:12
cjwatsonshadeslayer: Basically I'm vacillating. :-)  I suggest filing a Launchpad bug, as Launchpad's what feeds the sources.list to each build23:12
shadeslayercjwatson: haha, okay :)23:12
cjwatsonI'm surprised this is the first time (AFAIK) in the eight years or so since we switched to LP for builds that it's come up23:13
xnoxcjwatson: i used chdist in android build, to get deb-src lines. But i wouldn't want to slow down _all_ builders because of that.23:13
xnox(and thus apt-get source)23:13
cjwatsonI was going to mention a performance penalty, but I suspect it's negligible23:13
cjwatsonchdist would work, or other similar approaches with user-level apt configurations, though it's a bit roundabout23:14
xnoxcjwatson: if it does incur in performance penalty, we have quite networking problems =) given that src are smaller than binary packages indexes.23:14
cjwatsonQuite23:15
shadeslayercjwatson: I'll file one tomorrow morning23:15
cjwatsonOK, ta23:15
* shadeslayer heads to bed, night \o23:15
xnoxshadeslayer: what's the package in question? and are you sure you must use deb-src on the buildds?23:17
cjwatsonAlignment with Debian's buildds carries a lot of weight with me.  Generally we win a few more things we don't have to mess about with to get them to build every time we fix some aspect of our builds to be more in line with Debian.23:19
cjwatsonAnd at the very least it means people have fewer things to think about.23:19
xnoxcjwatson: i wonder if deb-src lines enabled, is a pre-requisite for a proper build-using: * stanzas support.23:20
xnoxunless i understand build-using:* wrong.23:20
cjwatsonxnox: I don't think so; you can get enough information for that from binary control fields23:28
cjwatsonThe usual Source: if present, else Package: dance23:29
