ThatGraemeGuyyour ssd only "likes" a particular flavour of ubuntu? o_O08:36
theblazehenThatGraemeGuy: that's what I thought...08:41
Kiloslol08:48
Kilostwice with kde its crashed08:48
Kilosmust be a bad iso i have08:48
ThatGraemeGuyI've never fully understood why you maintain 2 completely separate installs08:49
ThatGraemeGuywhy not just install the -desktop metapackage on top of your initial install and then choose your DE when you login08:49
Kiloswell if the one crashes the other one is still good08:49
Kilosoh that way08:50
ThatGraemeGuyhmmm08:50
KilosThatGraemeGuy, you mean install kubuntu desktop on top of this08:51
ThatGraemeGuyits ok, just carry on doing what you do08:51
Kiloskubuntu-desktop08:51
ThatGraemeGuyi don't need to add more complexity to your pc world08:52
Kiloshehe08:57

magespawngood morning 09:12
Maazmagespawn: By the way, superfly on freenode told me "tell magespawn in general, no." 12 hours, 39 minutes and 46 seconds ago09:12
Kiloshi8 magespawn 09:15
magespawnhello Kilos 09:20
magespawnhot day here in KZN09:20
magespawngotta go work outside a bit bbl09:22
Kiloswe gonna be 32 c today as well09:22
Kilosi found a thing by accident when trying to close hexchat here yesterday. it just popped up09:23
Kiloscharacter map09:23
Kiloslol and i have know idea what i did to do that, but see its in the dash09:24
theblazehenKilos: do you actually like unity?09:42
Kiloswhen its working without hassles ya09:42
Kilosbut prefer kde09:42
theblazehenwow... My brother got it yesterday. Neither of us like it09:43
Kiloslol09:43
theblazehenBut he only plays minecraft anyway09:43
Kilosit takes getting used to09:43
theblazehenHe used to use gnome3, that he liekd09:43
theblazehenliked*09:43
Kilosis he a linux user or windows09:44
Kilosbefore i mean09:44
Kilosian didnt even like gnome2 but loved kde the first time he saw it09:44
Kilostheblazehen, i didnt like unity when it came out but decided to give it a few weeks try out and once you get used to it it isnt bad09:48
Kilosprefer it to the x ones09:49
inetproKilos: you should really define what you mean with "crashed", figure out what is causing it and work out the solution from there, I bet you it has nothing to do with your storage at all09:55
Kilosok not crashed as such, but for atarters nm wouldnt work at all09:58
theblazehenKilos: used to use windows, but he then loved gnome09:58
Kilossecond the running unity couldnt boot anymore09:58
theblazehenKilos: fresh install, or migrated?09:58
Kilosill go put that kde stick in a hdd and see if its the iso thats bad09:59
Kilostheblazehen, fresh install kde alongside working unity10:04
Kiloskde resized drive to just over 100g each10:04
inetprokde resized drive?10:14
Kilosya the resize tool in kde man10:15
inetproyou choose automatic resize?10:15
Kiloswhen you go install it gives the option to resize10:15
Kilosya i let it choose10:15
inetproai!10:15
Kilosok next time i try ill use gparted to resize first10:16
inetprowell it's resized now, so why not just leave it at that, unless you want to change it10:17
Kilosno man i wiped it and let unity use it all again10:17
inetproai!10:18
Kilosmight be better to install kubuntu-desktop10:18
Kilosbut once before i tried that and didnt have the option to choose at startup10:18
Kilosso bang of that route now10:19
* inetpro also prefers keeping it separate10:19
Kilosya apartheid rocks10:20
Kiloskde on its own , pure and clean is better than building on top of unity10:20
inetprowhat version of Kubuntu are you installing?10:20
Kilos14.0410:21
inetpromake sure you have the ISO for 14.04.0110:21
Kilosi cant get another iso till next month10:21
Kilosgot 1g data for the month10:22
Kilosi had the 14.04.1 on the drive a deleted everything in home10:23
Kilos6 or 8 different isos10:23
Kilosso ill maar slum it till next month10:24
bushtechredeye shift?10:24
Kiloshuh?10:25
bushtechhow much you got after 1210:25
Kilosoh10:25
Kiloslemme see10:25
Kilos867m10:25
Kilosi could maybe do an iso update that way ya10:25
bushtechoops. how big the iso10:26
Kilos1.1g10:26
bushtechso only 867m on nightowl?10:27
Kilosyeah10:27
bushtechno can do10:27
Kilosbut the iso zsync uses about 400m iirc10:27
inetproKilos: make a plan man, take your new laptops to a Telkom wifi hotspot10:27
Kiloswhat new laptops10:28
Kilosian has them not me10:28
Kiloshe left yesterday10:28
inetprook, get ian then to download for you10:28
inetproor get a friend to do it10:29
bushtechyep, zsync if you got old iso10:29
Kilosman he might only get back here in 3 or 4 months time10:29
inetprosurely you have someone somewhere who can download for you10:30
Kilosi only have the iso on a stick to install with 10:30
Kilosnope inetpro 10:30
Kilosill use unity here man, i have kde running on the 1TB that i had to not use the first 50g10:31
bushtechKilos, if you can fetch here I can download for you10:31
Kiloslol10:31
Kilosnee man kannie rondry nie10:32

bushtechyou want to go from 14.04 to 14.04.1?10:35
Kiloslemme first look through all my drives lying around hewre, i might find one with isos still on it10:36
magespawnback again, miss me?10:36
Kilosya magespawn what you doing10:38
magespawni had to set up a router quickly, required the lan cable, and i forgot i was in here10:39
Kiloshaha10:39
magespawnbrb going to install said router10:40
Kiloswooooohhoooooo10:40
Kilosfirst drive i try i find isos10:40
Kilosaw the kde one is 32bit10:41
KilosMURPHY go away10:42
Kiloswb Vince-0 10:46
magespawnah well Kilos, what would life be without these challenges along the way11:05
magespawnMaaz define MURPHY11:05
Maazmagespawn: Murphy \Mur"phy\, n. A potato. [Humorous] --Thackeray. [1913 Webster], murphy n 1: an edible tuber native to South America; a staple food of Ireland [syn: {potato}, {white potato}, {Irish potato}, {murphy}, {spud}, {tater}]11:05
Kiloslol11:05
Kiloswould be a lot easier thats all11:05
magespawnhah11:05
magespawnindeed11:06
inetprohmm...11:13
Kilosai! 3 drives with xubuntu on and no isos11:13
Kilosgrrr11:13
KilosMaaz, hmm...11:14
Maazhmm... is often used to try make others believe one is actually thinking11:14
inetprowhat setting would be needed to allow a KVM vm installed on a Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS host to pause automatically when rebooting the host?11:15
Kilosstand in front of a mirror and ask that guy11:15
Kiloshe is clever11:15
inetprowith Centos I can reboot the host and all virtual machines are back as if nothing happened afterwards11:16
inetprowith Ubuntu a shutdown of the VM is triggered and after a reboot it is as if it was rebooted as well11:17
Kilosai!11:18
magespawninetpro not some setting the vm itself? some sort of default?11:21
superflyinetpro, magespawn, Kilos: more good news re: the web site. I got the original Ubuntu-ZA logo from SubOracle (again)11:22
Kiloswonder superfly 11:22
magespawncool beans11:23
inetpromagespawn: all I can see is the setting to 'Start virtual machine on boot up'11:23
Kilosive forgotten all the info on how to go see there with that nikola thing11:23
Kilosthat must be it surely inetpro 11:23
inetprosuperfly: nice!11:24
inetproKilos: no11:24
Kilosoh my11:24
superflyanyone free tonight for a quick merge proposal tutorial?11:24
Kilosill be here, 11:25
Kilosthe pro will be here11:25
Kilosmagespawn, tonight hey11:25
Kiloswb ThatGraemeGuy 11:25
inetprosuperfly: good idea, I'll make a plan... hope we don't have another power failure like last night11:26
superflywell, if another night suits people better, I'm all for it.11:27
superflyhow's 8:30?11:27
magespawnsure superfly11:28
superflycool beans boys11:29
magespawninetpro so what you want is the host to pause all the vm and then resume them when the host has restarted?11:29
magespawnwith no change to the vm11:30
inetprosuperfly: 20:30 sounds good, ty11:33
inetpromagespawn: yes, I guess what happens on Centos is that it saves state to a file and does a restore from file after a boot11:34
inetproI definitely didn't set it like that, was all default11:34
inetproobviously a reboot takes longer because of this but I would prefer it like this on Ubuntu as well11:36
* inetpro tried googling but have not yet found the answer to this issue11:38
superflyinetpro: maybe just a setting somewhere?11:38
inetprosuperfly: that is what I'm hoping11:38
inetproscripting would be an option, but I'm sure others must have solved it already11:38
magespawni also have not found anything through google11:44
Kilosai! one drive frizzed me11:44
Kilos-ai!11:48
bushtechwat nou?11:48
Kilos-error report says it seems a daemon died11:49
inetprointeresting that a 'virsh save VMHost FMHost_File' with Ubuntu Server 14.04.01 takes up a mere 257MB11:49
inetpros/FMHost_File/VMHost_File/11:49
magespawninetpro: i found this http://vboxtool.sourceforge.net/ from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213063011:52
inetpromagespawn: nice, thanks11:53
* inetpro reading11:53
magespawninetpro: no worries11:56
inetprohmm.. that unfortunately is just for Virtualbox, but could perhaps lead me to a Qemu/KVM solution on Ubuntu11:57
Kilosai!12:06
Kilosso is it unity or a bad ssd12:07
Kiloserror message is12:09

inetprothen again, it's not a log file13:37
Kilosi can login fine with ctrl+alt+F313:37
inetproyou should not delete files without knowing what the specific file is for13:38
Kiloswell its broken13:38
Kilos4lb hammer cant get in there13:39
magespawnwhat have you broken now?13:40
Kilosnot me man13:40
Kilosstupid unity13:40
bushtechapt-get update & upgrade13:40
Kilosand ssd13:41
Kiloswasnt happy with one of the drives i pluuged into the adapter to look for kubuntu 14.04.1 iso13:41
Kilosit cant upgrade anything because dpkg is broken because of that file13:42
theblazehenKilos: exact log?13:45
Kilostheblazehen it said13:47
Kilosdpkg error parsing file /var/lib/dpkg/status/  and said package libkeyutils:i386has an error near line 1886313:48
inetproKilos: $ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/status*13:58
Kilosim on kde now inetpro 13:58
Kilosthe ssd is in the adapter13:59
inetprohmm... ok13:59
Kilosthat file is important because the os logs in completely then starts error reports14:00
Kiloscant do anything else14:00
inetproso it is broken on kde?14:00
inetproor is it broken on unity?14:02
Kilosno the unity is broken14:04
Kilosithe whole ssd is unity 14:04
Kilosthe14:04
inetprook, you are on KDE with the old HDD and trying to fix the UNITY issue on the SSD drive? Now I understand...14:06
Kilosi see there is a staus and a status-old in there14:06
Kilosstatus14:07
inetproshould not have been necessary to do it this way14:07
Kilosi could maybe trash it from here14:07
Kilosor try open it and look14:07
inetprono14:08
KilosKDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate'14:08
inetprodon't ever trash stuff unless you know exactly what you are doing14:08
Kilosok14:08
theblazeheninetpro: or, make a backup of the file, then trash?14:08
inetprotheblazehen: bow that is a much better suggestion14:09
inetpronow*14:09
Kilosi could maybe find a file like that on a working unity hdd and then copy it to there then change that ones name to older14:09
inetproKilos: i've seen that one before14:10
inetproKDE trying to open something in kate for some odd reason14:10
Kilosoh14:10
Kilosif i can open it i can maybe correct something14:10
Kilosi wonder if one can open it with nano14:11
inetproKilos: make a backup first14:11
Kilosof what14:11
Kilosi have a deja-dup of that whole unity14:12
inetprono man just that one file14:12
inetproai!14:12
Kilosnot just rename it14:13
Kilosoh rename option grayed out14:13

inetprowhy not try that and then attempt to recreate this exact same problem?14:45
Kilosbut id rather try kde there14:46
Kilosthen the unity backup wont work14:46
Kiloslemme install kde and we see if the prob crops up there too14:46
inetpro$ ls -l /SSDDRIVE/var/lib/dpkg/status*14:47
Kilosonly good thing about unity is the gnome-disk-utility14:47
inetprothat doesn't even sound like a unity package14:48
Kilosls: cannot access /SSDDRIVE/var/lib/dpkg/status*: No such file or directory14:48
inetproobvious!14:49
Kilosits the disks tool in unity14:49
Kilosai!14:49
Kilosnee man lemme install kde there14:49
inetproKilos: look with the good eye and think, before you do anything14:49
bushtechamen14:49
Kilosi dont know how to figure the path to the ssd man14:50
Kilosoh14:50
Kilosmaybe gparted will give it14:50
inetproand you work on the cli as root?14:50
Kilosi dont have gparted14:50
Kilossigh14:50
inetpro05/01 16:22:04 <Kilos> I am groot14:51
Kilos  /dev/sdc14:51
inetprothat's just dangerous, end of story!14:51
Kilosi closed that14:52
Kilosbut why are we looking for the path if im gonna reinstall?14:52
Kiloshuh?14:53
Kiloscan i go reinstall inetpro ?14:54
Kilosthis is like a windows prob, fdisk format install14:55
inetproai!14:56
Kiloslol14:58
Kilostell me man must i go reinstall?14:58
inetproKilos: go re-install because it's quick, but please try to pay attention with anything that you do14:59
inetprodo not just blame your your drive, your screen, your hardware, the os, the software or any other thing before you are not sure about what you blame14:59
Kilosok15:00
Kilossigh15:00
Kilossee you all later15:00

nuvolarioh hi, morning oom kilos :)15:23
nuvolarihmm, not around :'(15:23

inetprohmm....16:49
inetprowb nuvolari16:49
bushtechyou also wondering about kilos?16:49
inetprobushtech: yep16:59
inetproprobably struggling again17:00
* inetpro thought it would have been quick17:00
bushtechshould have been but w/ Kilos thers no such thing as a normal install :)17:01
bushtechhe really pushes the envelope17:04
inetprounfortunately17:13
inetprobut we can all learn a lot from him17:14
inetpropatience is key17:14
bushtechtrue, just don't know if my nerves can stand it :)17:16
inetproI think he needs a public and complete step by step guide for his installations17:18
inetprowish I could see exactly what he does at times17:19
bushtechteamviewer wont help at inst time17:30
magespawngood evening17:38
Kiloshmm...17:41
Kilosinetpro, im sure it is the ssd man17:42
Kilostried twice to install kde. could format the root partition17:42
Kilostried xp twice17:42
Kilosthen usb pc-repair stick to zeroed ssd and then tried kde again17:43
Kilosbooted to black screen17:43
Kilosso i then put unity back17:43
Kilosbut already software centre failed to install opera-browser17:44
Kilosand synaptic wont even open17:44
Kilosdisk utility said the daemon was disabled when i tried to format it17:45
Kilosso i dunno if ssd's have built in daemons17:46
magespawnKilos have you been trying all day with that drive?17:46
Kilosyip magespawn 17:46
Kilosim convinced its a faulty ssd17:46
Kilosmurphy you know lives here17:47
Kilossame as the new 1TB seagate i bought17:47
Kilosluckily that was replaced with a good one17:47
magespawntake it back?17:48
Kilosi have to wait for ian to come again 17:48
Kilosi told ian to message him and let him know its faulty17:48
Kilosgrrrr17:50
magespawnare you sure it is the drive17:51
magespawn?17:51
Kilosnow i better go to a working drive for tonights meet17:51
Kiloswell xp couldnt even format it17:51
Kilosit tried17:51
Kilostoo find the bad ic is another prob17:52
Kilosi dont know how many chips are in there or what each ones size is 17:52
Kilosotherwise maybe you can just not use that much17:52
Kiloswbb. going to a reliable drive17:55
inetprowb ThatGraemeGuy18:13
inetprowb bushtech18:14
bushtechthanks inetpro vodacom went for a loop, changed to mtn18:15
inetproeish!18:16
inetprobushtech: MTN still most expensive?18:16
bushtechdont know, just got a pay as you go card with 2G on it for insurance when vodacom goes belly up18:17
inetproah18:18
inetprowhat do you pay for 2GB on MTN these days?18:18
bushtechR24518:19
inetproai! At 12c per MB that is still way too much18:20
inetpromust at least come down to 5c per MB to be reasonable these days18:21
bushtechOdd thing is that Xchat on ubuntu which I normally use flatly refuses to connect when I change to mtn18:21
bushtechhave to switch to quassel on lappy18:21
inetprostrange!18:22
inetprobushtech: same destination and port?18:22
inetprowb miles18:22
bushtechgot me baffled, but havent investigated yet18:22
=== miles is now known as Kilos
bushtechMiles, you're back!!!18:23
Kiloshahaha ya but on my drive that lost home18:23
superflyMaaz: announce Bazaar VCS + Launchpad Tutorial at 20:30 (8:30pm for those who can't read standard time)18:23
MaazAnnouncement from superfly! Bazaar VCS + Launchpad Tutorial at 20:30 (8:30pm for those who can't read standard time)18:23
bushtechpray tell but be gentle please18:23
Kiloshad to install everything again18:23
Kilosthis is the drive i deleted everything in /home the other day18:24
Kilosso got like a basic install here18:24
inetproKilos: when you install, do you have only one drive physically connected or multiple drives? 18:24
bushtechai Kilos18:24
Kilosyip one only18:24
inetprohmm...18:25
* inetpro gives up18:25
Kilosthe kde i was on this afternoon wouldnt boot18:25
bushtechbushtech bangs head on table18:25
Kiloslol18:26
Kilosand took me a while to get here too now18:27
bushtechso were you trying a stock standard install on the ssd?18:28
inetprowb Trixar_za18:28
Kilossetting up irc client i enter chat?freenode.net and wondered why it didnt connect18:28
Kilosya standard install . nothing fancy18:28
Kilosits got a sick daemon18:28
Kiloswhat are daemons18:29
inetproKilos: In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.18:30
bushtechdo an md5 on your iso18:31
Kilosoh my , wonder why its inactive on the ssd18:31
Kilosnot now this drive is working still18:31
Kilosthis is my good 1TB that i broke18:32
Kiloswell broke the os18:32
Kiloshere i can install kde and everything works18:32
bushtechcheck the iso that youre trying to install from18:33
* inetpro is ready for superfly18:33
Kilostomorrow ill ask you how to do that18:33
* Kilos ready too18:33
Kilosbut i dont have nikola inetpro18:33
superflyKilos: you don't need Nikola for this18:34
superflybut you  do need bzr18:34
superflyAnyone else? I think magespawn wanted to also be here18:34
bdukim here but on my tab no bzr or whatever18:35
Kilosbzr must already be installed here superfly18:36
magespawnyup i am here18:36
superflyOK18:36
inetprobduk: aptitude install bzr18:37
superflycheck you've all got bzr installed (except maybe you bduk)18:37
superflythere you go, what inetpro said18:37
superflyLet me know once you're all ready18:37
inetproKilos: bzr version18:38
Kilosim ready18:38
magespawninstalled 2.718:38
magespawni have also just downloaded the latest kubuntu18:39
superflyOK, next step, go to https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-za18:39
superflyYou'll see there's a branch called "lp:ubuntu-za"18:40
superflyAnyone not know what a branch is?18:40
superfly(please, yell if you don't understand something so that I can explain it to you)18:40
superflyFor that matter, does everyone know what Version Control is?18:41
* inetpro +118:41
Kilosnope18:41
Kiloslike with python 2.7 or 3?18:42
superflyNo, but that's kinda connected18:42
superflyVersion Control is tracking the changes you make to something.18:42
Kilosok ty18:42
superflyIn code terms, we talk about VCS - Version Control System.18:43
Kilosmust i tick on that branch?18:43
superflyno, do nothing18:43
Kilosok18:43
superflyI didn't say to do anything.18:43
Kilossorry18:43
inetprolol18:43
superflyA VCS is a program which keeps track the changes made to the source code of a program.18:43
superflyThen you get a system like git or Bazaar, which is a DVCS, a Distributed Version Control System18:44
superflyIt still does the same thing, just with some added features and benefits.18:44
magespawnan online VCS?18:44
superflyNow, back to the branch. In a VCS you can have multiple copies of that program you're tracking. Each copy is called a branch.18:45
superflyIn Bazaar, each branch contains a complete history of everything you've done in that branch.18:46
superflyGot it?18:47
Kilosyessir18:47
magespawnyes18:47
bushtechyep18:47
superflyOK. So if you look on that page, there's a branch called "lp:ubuntu-za"18:47
Kilosyes18:47
superflyThis is a special naming convention that Launchpad uses (lp == launchpad)18:47
Kilosah18:48
magespawnside note maybe explain the ==18:48
superflyThis particular branch is the main branch of the Ubuntu-ZA site. In Subversion it was called "trunk"; in Mercurial it's called "default", in git it's called "master". Bazaar doesn't have a special name for it. I just call it "trunk"18:49
inetpro== = equals18:49
superflyGot it?18:49
magespawnyup18:50
Kiloskinda18:50
superflyKilos: don't worry, as long as you remember "trunk" is "lp:ubuntu-za" then you're OK18:50
Kiloscool ty18:50
superflyNext.18:51
inetprosure18:51
Kilosthe two == making equals is weird to me18:51
superflyDoes anyone have an existing "projects" directory on their computer? The place where you plonk all your code, etc.18:51
superflyKilos: it's a programming thing18:51
superflyKilos: I'll explain later.18:51
Kilosi figured that18:51
Kilosnope no projects18:51
* inetpro created one in a clean VM18:52
superflymagespawn, bushtech?18:52
Kilosgo on superflystuff i dont need to know the others will savvy18:52
magespawni have used git and subversion to download code from other projects18:52
inetproKilos: mkdir projects18:52
superflyK, if you haven't created one yet, make it now. I usually call mine "Projects"18:52
bushtechnope18:52
bushtechplaying in xampp18:53
Kilosdone18:53
superflyso, in your terminal, in your home directory, "mkdir Projects"18:53
superflyor if you're a Windows junkie, right-click, "New Folder"18:53
superfly:-P18:53
bushtechdone18:53
magespawnokay done18:53
inetproKilos: cd Projects18:54
superflyRight. The next thing we're going to do is make a *shared repository*. This is a special directory that we're going to put all our bzr branches into. It allows the branches to share their history. This makes things more efficient and uses less disk space.18:54
superflyinetpro: wag nou oom, I was getting there.18:54
Kilosdone18:54
* inetpro hides in the corner18:55
bushtechwe doing this in cli?18:55
Kiloshee hee18:55
superflyif you're in the terminal, you'll need to cd into your Projects directory18:55
superflybushtech: yes.18:55
magespawnwhere else?18:55
bushtechwould prefer gui18:55
superflybushtech: using the GUI is a little more complicated -_-18:55
bushtechok cli it is18:56
superflybushtech: once you've got the CLI down, the GUI is much easier to understand and traverse.18:56
Kilosi dont have that18:56
Kilosi got a konsole18:56
Kilosjust kidding18:56
superflyso, now that you're in your Projects directory, you want to create your shared repository: bzr init-repo ubuntu-za18:57
superflyKilos: *thsppppppppppp*18:57
inetprosuperfly: wait18:57
superflyinetpro: I need to get coffee, I can wait18:57
Kiloshuh?18:57
inetprosuperfly: what about whoami?18:57
superflyinetpro: we'll get there18:57
inetprook18:58
Kilosso tell me how to make that repo please18:58
superflybe back in 2, just need to get my gogo juice18:58
inetproKilos: he's feeding the goggatjie18:59
inetproKilos: ~/Projects$ bzr init-repo ubuntu-za19:00
Kilosi have superfly19:01
Kilosty pro19:01
Kilosi was scrolling back to copy the infoa and answered what i saw there sigh19:01
superflyOK, who's confused?19:02
Kilosai!19:02
Kilosmiles@P64:~/Projects$ ~/Projects$ bzr init-repo ubuntu-za19:02
Kilosbash: /home/miles/Projects$: No such file or directory19:02
superflyKilos: don't just copy and paste things into your Konsole, read it and type it out.19:03
Kilosim already there inetpro19:03
superflyyou'll never learn if you don't type it out.19:03
Kilossuperfly: i cant remember i need to back and forward lots to get the line right19:03
magespawncan you explain the breakdown of the last command?19:04
Kiloswill keep you here all night19:04
superflyKilos: we're not writing essays here, it'll only take you a minute19:04
magespawnis it telling bzr to iniate a repo called ubuntu-za?19:04
superflymagespawn: bzr <= the bzr client19:04
superflymagespawn: init-repo <= initialise a shared repository19:04
superflymagespawn: ubuntu-za <= the name of the shared repo19:05
magespawnright19:05
superflymagespawn: you're not too dull after all :-P19:05
KilosLocation:19:05
Kilos  shared repository: ubuntu-za19:05
inetpromagespawn: tree -a ubuntu-za/19:06
superflyAlright, I see Kilos has got it. Anyone struggling?19:06
superfly*crickets*19:07
superflyK, next step.19:07
Kilosk19:07
Kilosbushtech: is jy by?19:07
Kilosdont multitask as well19:08
Kilosconcentrate19:08
superflyNow you need to identify yourself to Bazaar. This will configure Bazaar with your name and email address so that your commits can be identified. You should use your email address which is registered on Launchpad.19:08
superflybzr whoami "Test Example <test@example.com>"19:08
* inetpro done19:08
Kilosthat whole line?19:09
superflyKilos: is your name "Test Example" ?19:09
Kiloseish19:09
* inetpro was wondering also19:09
Kilosoh is that where my email addy must be?19:09
Kilossuperfly: please give that again19:10
inetproKilos: another example: bzr whoami "John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com>"19:10
superflybzr whoami "Test Example <test@example.com>"19:10
Kilosaha19:11
* superfly gives Kilos some grease for the cogs in his head :-P19:11
Kilosrofl19:11
Kilosthey are broken man19:11
inetproKilos: please use your name and email address, instead of John Doe’s19:11
magespawnand is it supposed to return anything?19:12
superflymagespawn: no, not that I can recall19:13
inetpromagespawn: test it with just 'bzr whoami'19:13
magespawnreturns name and email address19:13
Kilosya19:14
superflyEverybody with me? bushtech?19:14
Kilossjoe19:14
inetproKilos: bzr whoami "msdomdonner <msdomdonner@gmail.com>"19:14
Kilosya looks like that but text very tiny man19:14
superflyinetpro: better to use your real name19:15
inetprosuperfly: that is what he has on lp19:15
superflybzr whoami "Raoul Snyman <raoul.snyman@example.com>"19:15
superflyas long as the e-mail address matches, the rest doesn't matter19:15
bushtechwill catch up llater19:15
superflybushtech: I'm writing up a doc as I go along. I'll post the doc to the mailing list afterward19:15
KilosMiles Sharpe <msdomdonner@gmail.com>19:16
bushtechthanks19:16
superflydaarshy Kilos19:16
inetproKilos: sorry, that is more accurate, thanks19:16
superfly*daars hy19:16
Kilosyeah19:16
Kilosi can read it here at least19:16
superflyOK, next step is to get bzr to login to Launchpad.19:17
superflyPart 1: Make sure your SSH public key is on Launchpad.19:17
superflyKilos: you probably need to do this again.19:17
Kiloshow19:17
Kilosthis is like a new install here nothing remembered19:17
superflyfirst, generate an SSH keypair locally19:18
superflyssh-keygen -t rsa19:18
magespawngotting to have to log into launchpad to check if it is the same key19:18
magespawnbrb19:18
superflynp magespawn19:18
superflyKilos: when it asks for a passphrase, just press enter19:18
Kilosi have and now see long key above the funny pic19:19

superflydid we get as far as creating the shared repository?20:00
Kilospurple background20:00
Kilosyes superfly20:00
Kilospro has gone to sleep20:00
superflyOK, so now you need to make sure you're in that shared repository20:02
superflyif your projects directory is "Projects" and your shared repository is "ubuntu-za" then you'll want to type "cd ~/Projects/ubuntu-za"20:02
superflybushtech: you with me?20:03
Kilosim there20:03
magespawnright20:03
superflynow we need to checkout the Ubuntu-ZA site. This means that we're going to tell bzr to create a local version of the branch at lp:ubuntu-za. I like to call it trunk because it's connected directly with the primary branch on Launchpad.20:05
superflybzr checkout lp:ubuntu-za trunk20:06
superflybzr checkout <= checkout a branch20:06
superflylp:ubuntu-za <= the branch to checkout20:06
Kilosok20:06
superflytrunk <= the local directory name20:06
KilosThe authenticity of host 'bazaar.launchpad.net (91.189.95.84)' can't be established.20:07
Kilosare you sure you want to continue anyway?20:07
superflyyes20:07
Kilosit gives the rsa key as well20:08
Kilosok done, it added bazaar to known hosts20:09
Kilosbut said warning first20:09
Kilossjoe20:09
superflynow you should have a local directory called "trunk"20:09

superflymagespawn, inetpro, bushtech: got it?20:11

* inetpro catching up... sorry was out for a mo20:12
magespawni did the command without the trunk first but i have sorted that out20:12
inetproplease continue20:13
Kilosyou too fast inetpro20:15
Kilosyou can go out for a mo again20:15
inetprosuperfly: for interests sake, as the owner of the project, can you see who does a checkout?20:15
superflyinetpro: I cannot see a thing20:15
inetprook20:16
Kilosoi20:16
superflyWell, congratulations everyone, you now have the "code" for the Ubuntu-ZA site on your local computer.20:16
Kilossjoe20:16
magespawncool beans, twice nog al20:16
superflyReady for the next part, or shall we leave it for another night?20:17
superfly(since it's taken us 2 hours to get this far)20:17
Kilosis the next part easier?20:17
Kilossorry for slowing you down guys20:17
Kilosill stay up if you want to go on tonight20:18
* inetpro is keen to continue but happy to do it on another day as well20:18
magespawni am good either way20:18
* Kilos votes continue20:18
Kilosi wont bother, will do what i miss when we get the mail20:19
superflyOK. The next part is about create a branch to make your changes in, and then submitting them for review.20:19
superflyOK, so now make sure you're in the shared repository directory20:20
superfly(~/Projects/ubuntu-za)20:20
Kilosyes20:21
superflyto create a new branch, type in: bzr branch trunk feature-120:21

Kiloswhere are you okes seeing stuff that you say mooi20:25
Kilosand cool beans20:26
inetproKilos: $ tree -d -L 220:27
superflynow, what you'll do is you'll make your modifications in that branch.20:27
inetproor add -a to see hidden folders also20:27
superflywhen you're done, you'll add any new files, and commit your changes20:28
superflyFor example:20:28
superfly$ bzr add20:28
superflyadding pages/contact.rst20:28
Kilosi gotta install tree first. must that be in the cli where we are20:28
superfly$ bzr diff20:29
superfly=== added file 'pages/contact.rst'20:29
superfly--- pages/contact.rst   1970-01-01 00:00:00 +000020:29
superfly+++ pages/contact.rst   2015-01-05 20:16:15 +000020:29
superflyKilos: that's one of inetpro's fancy commands20:29
Kilosoh20:29
Kilosall i see if my prompt20:30
superfly$ bzr commit -m "Added a very basic contact page"20:30
superflyCommitting to: ~/Projects/UbuntuZA/new-contact-page/20:30
superflyadded pages/contact.rst20:30
superflyCommitted revision 8.20:30
superflyKilos: that's right, that means everything worked.20:30
superflyRemember, this is the command line. if there's a problem, it'll moan20:30
inetprohang on superfly, did I miss something, you wanted us to also do to 'bzr add' ?20:31
superflyinetpro: not exactly20:31
superflyI've just added a very basic contact page, and I'm showing you what I'm doing20:31
inetprook20:31
inetprogot it20:32
superfly<superfly> For example:20:32
inetprosorry20:32
superflyNow I'm going to push my changes from my local branch up to a remote branch on Launchpad. What this does is it creates a new branch on Launchpad for me, with the name I specify, and then it uploads my changes to that branch. This is so that we can use the merge proposal process on Launchpad.20:33
inetpronou praat ons!20:33
superfly$ bzr push lp:~raoul-snyman/ubuntu-za/new-contact-page20:34
superflyUsing default stacking branch /+branch-id/16860046 at chroot-65050896:///~raoul-snyman/ubuntu-za/20:34
superflyCreated new stacked branch referring to /+branch-id/16860046.20:34
superflynotice my username in the remote branch URL20:34
superflylp:~raoul-snyman/ubuntu-za/new-contact-page20:34
* inetpro noticed20:34
superflyso you can break it up into lp:  ~<username>  /  <project name>  /  <branch name>20:35
superflynow if you go back to https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-za, what do you see?20:35
magespawnright20:36
Kilosis that now 2 branches?20:36
superflyKilos: those cogs are working!20:36
Kiloshahya20:37
* inetpro notices two branches with Status: Development 20:37
superflySo, you see, I pushed my branch up to my user on Launchpad, but I specified the project name. Now Launchpad knows that this code is specifically for that project, and will show my branch on the project's code page.20:38
inetprointeresting20:38
Kilosaha20:38
superflyNow I'm going to propose a merge20:39
magespawnwill it also show on your page superfly ?20:39
Kilosthats with  bzr push lp:~raoul-snyman/ubuntu-za/new-contact-page20:39
superflymagespawn: yes20:39
magespawnahh right20:39
superflyhttps://code.launchpad.net/~raoul-snyman/ubuntu-za/new-contact-page/+merge/24561020:39
superflyhttps://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-za/+activereviews20:39
superflyYou can see on the Active Reviews page (the second link) that I've proposed a merge20:40
* inetpro \0/20:40
superflyinetpro: you should have gotten an e-mail about it20:40
inetproahh, very cool20:41
superflythe users who are on the team who owns the main branch will get an e-mail about a merge proposed for that branch20:41
superflyonly the users in the team who owns that branch are able to commit to that branch20:41
inetprostarting to make sense now20:42
superflyinetpro: now, it's your turn. Look at the proposal.20:42
magespawnnot the rest of us?20:42
magespawni mean about being on the team and getting the mail/20:42
superflymagespawn: you can look at it too, but you're not (yet) on the dev team in Launchpad20:43
magespawnright 20:43
inetprosuperfly: so I click on Review and write a comment?20:43
superflyinetpro: sortof.20:43
inetprosuperfly: what is "Claim review"?20:44
superflywag 'n bietjie20:44
inetprook20:44
superflyI have long paragraphs to type, I can't keep up with all the questions20:44
* inetpro likes the sound of that20:45
superflyinetpro: it changes the reviewer to you20:45
superflywe don't need to use that button20:46
inetpropoint noted20:46
superflyon the actual proposal page, you'll see an "Add comment" section with a big text box. under the box there's a label "Review" and a dropdown. This dropdown contains a few options. 20:46
superflyIf you're happy with the proposal, you can just select "Approve" and click "Save comment"20:47
superflyif you think there's something wrong which needs to be fixed, type a comment about what needs to be fixed, select "Needs Fixing" and click "Save comment"20:47
inetprook20:48
superflyif you have no idea what the heck this turkey is doing, and you need them to explain themselves, tell them to explain themselves in the comment, select "Needs information" and click "Save comment"20:48
magespawni might be doing a lot of that20:49
inetprosuperfly: for the sake of the exercise, shall I go ahead and approve without writing an actual comment?20:49
superflyif what they're doing is totally and completely absurd, and they need to go back to the drawing board, comment and select "Disapprove"20:49
superflyinetpro: you're welcome to do so20:49
inetprodone20:50
magespawnwho can approve or disapprove?20:50
superflyinetpro: in OpenLP, our policy is to only explain ourselves when performing a negative review.20:50
superflymagespawn: anyone can20:50
superflymagespawn: but the gatekeepers into the codebase are (so far) myself and inetpro20:50
charlgood evening gentlemen20:50

inetprosuperfly: hmm... do I not have to do a 'bzr up' first?20:53
superflyinetpro: no20:53
superflyinetpro: you're in trunk, it doesn't have my latest commit yet20:53
superflyyou're busy adding it20:53
superflyinetpro: unless you didn't checkout trunk now when everyone else was20:54

inetproAll changes applied successfully. 20:54
superflyinetpro: OK, now that's half the merge done. That just pulls the changes down and merges them with your local copy. Now we need to commit them.20:55
inetpromakes sense20:55
superflybzr commit -m "Added a new contact page" --author="Raoul Snyman <...>"20:55
superflyI'll pm you my e-mail sddress20:56

superflythat will commit the code as me, not you, because you want to credit me with the changes20:56
inetprodone20:57
superfly(well, technically you're still recorded as the committer, but now my name is added as the author)20:57
superflyinetpro: it should have pushed the code up to Launchpad too, in the process. Did you see that?20:57
magespawnhah cool beans20:57
inetproCommitted revision 8.   20:58
magespawnyou can commit your own code?20:58

inetpronow if I can lather, rinse and repeat this process I might get used to this 21:01
superflyinetpro: now, if magespawn proposes a merge, and you commit using his details as author, you'll see that he'll be credited, even though he doesn't have write access to the main branch21:02
inetprosuperfly: makes sense again21:02
magespawnahhh so you have control for those of us with less skill and experience21:03
superflyinetpro, magespawn, Kilos, bushtech: now, if I want to delete this local branch, because I don't need it anymore, all I have to do is "rm -r <branch directory>"21:03
