[09:27] <mattymo> how do I configure my launchpad group to subscribe new members to it when they join?
[09:28] <mattymo> launchpad group mailing list*
[10:02] <wgrant> mattymo: It's not possible to opt others into mailing lists. Whether to subscribe by default or not is a per-user setting.
[10:07] <mattymo> wgrant, I realize that now
[10:07] <mattymo> the best strategy it seems is to make a group, wait for list to be approved, then tell users to manually subscribe so they can be prompted to join the list
[10:07] <mattymo> rather than add them manually and then tell them to subscribe to the list itself
[15:08] <voldyman> i am writing a bot to fetch bugs from a launchpad project, it will periodically fetch data, should i login_anonymously once and stay logged in for days? or should i login after every few hours?
[15:15] <dobey> voldyman: do you only want to access public data and not make any changes?
[15:16] <voldyman> yup
[15:18] <wgrant> voldyman: login_anonymously doesn't actually log in, as such
[15:18] <voldyman> ah, so no worries.
[15:18] <wgrant> It's all stateless, so there's no difference whatsoever.
[15:19] <voldyman> we didn't know about the ppa stats were available through the api, i just wrote a bot to fetch them once a day, http://aura.tripent.net/e-stats/
[15:42] <rduggan> heyo, I've a problem with an i386 jar build that I can't reproduce locally with pbuilder
[15:42] <rduggan> https://launchpadlibrarian.net/172376524/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.jvmtop_0.8.0-5~ubuntu12.04.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[15:42] <rduggan> (same failure on all series) - looks like an obvious one, the jar isn't being built
[15:43] <rduggan> Works on x64, and on the i386 pbuilder environment
[15:44] <rduggan> Any way I can get better logs out of Launchpad? Or, ideally, something closer to the build environment Launchpad uses?
[15:45] <rduggan> I'm booting daily builds in Vagrant, and I think I'm as close to the "getting set up" instructions as is required, but clearly I've missed something.
[15:47] <tintou> hi all, It has been weeks since I can't use Rosetta because of Timeout Errors, is this a known issue ?
[16:23] <dobey> rduggan: sbuild is clsoer to what lp uses
[16:23] <dobey> rduggan: looks like a packaging data issue though
[16:26] <dobey> tintou: i don't think so, but timeouts happen occassionally, more so for extremely large data sets
[16:30] <rduggan> dobey: aye aye, will pore over it again
[16:30] <rduggan> thanks
[17:24] <choffee> anybody know what's up with launchpad at the moment?
[17:24] <leitao> choffee, seems to be down here as well
[17:25] <leitao> choffee,  Sorry, there was a problem connecting to the Launchpad server.
[17:25] <rewbycraft> So I'm not the only one who's getting that message?
[17:26] <dobey> yes
[17:26] <rewbycraft> Actually, it seems that everything that uses Ubuntu SSO is down. Can't login to ubuntuforums.org or ubuntuone.com either.
[17:27] <dobey> it's a known issue
[17:27] <dobey> and it's being fixed
[17:27] <rewbycraft> Great!
[17:28] <pdo_fn14> I'm facing why so hard to see launchpad now. What's going wrong?.
[17:28] <dobey> if i could change the topic i would
[17:29] <dobey> but yes, there is a connectivity issue being worked on at the moment
[17:30] <rewbycraft> Internal network issues (or just a server down)? It seems the front-facing load-balancers are still working just fine (sans their inability to contact the backend).
[17:30] <warren-hill> Is the launchpad.net server down at the moment?
[17:31] <kabersold> It is for me. Just tried to post a question.
[17:31] <dobey> sort of down
[17:31] <petan> Sorry, there was a problem connecting to the Launchpad server. Try reloading this page in a minute or two. If the problem persists, let us know in the #launchpad
[17:31] <heyuguys> Hey, the launchpad site is down.  Any ideas???
[17:31] <dobey> yes
[17:31] <dobey> we know
[17:32] <petan> dobey: update topic then so other know :P
[17:32] <rewbycraft> Petan, he said he can't.
[17:32] <petan> wasn't here when he said that
[17:32] <sixela> good luck to repair our beloved hosting platform :)
[17:32] <petan> meh :(
[17:32] <petan> I was just in a middle of some uploads
[17:33] <rewbycraft> I was about to pull some source code for a package-rebuild.
[17:33] <dobey> yes we're all aware
[17:33] <dobey> final freeze is very near so everyone is upset :)
[17:33] <rewbycraft> Heh.
[17:34] <heyuguys> I'm looking for the wiconnect debian package.  Are there any alternative URLs?
[17:34] <petan> rewbycraft: yes I was too :/ have bunch of packages that needs rebuild
[17:35] <rewbycraft> petan: I'm mostly just rebuilding saucy packages for trusty.
[17:35] <dobey> heyuguys: debian.org?
[17:35] <dobey> launchpad doesn't host debian
[17:36] <heyuguys> the url I'm trying to access is http://launchpad.net/wiconnect
[17:36] <dobey> try again
[17:37] <choffee> Seems to be working again now.
[17:38] <rewbycraft> Yep.
[17:38] <pdo_fn14> Status worked now. Thanks
[17:38] <choffee> Big thank you to the launchpad admins.
[17:38] <warren-hill> Working for me too.  Any idea what caused it?
[17:38] <dobey> probably a DDoS
[17:39] <warren-hill> bye
[17:39] <heyuguys> Looking better now.  Thanks!!!!
[18:41] <voldyman> hey guys i am getting frequent request timeouts when loading ppa stats.
[18:42] <dobey> ok
[18:43] <jfi> voldyman, known issue.... I have workarounded by spliting the requests + cache of responses with start_date and end_date
[18:43] <jfi> voldyman, do the request, if you get a 503, adjust start/end date until it does not timeout... I did not find a better way:(
[18:44] <voldyman> ah, ok. thanks! i'll try that
[18:46] <jfi> voldyman, I don't know what you are trying to achieve, but maybe see http://wpitchoune.net/ppastats/ppa/otto-kesselgulasch/gimp/
[19:30] <forensickid> I have a ppa package and a I am looking to have it install on the users desktop. I am using the install file to place the other source files in fixed locations, though I am unsure how that works for placing the .desktop in the users /home/ */Desktop/
[19:31] <forensickid> *for ubuntu systems
[19:32] <dobey> you cannot do that from a package
[19:32] <dobey> you can only install files to system locations
[19:32] <dobey> if the user wants the icon on their background, they'll put it there
[19:33] <dobey> and #ubuntu-packaging for questions about packaging
[19:33] <forensickid> thanks - couldnt find the right one!
