pittididrocks: quite well, thanks! cursing at my n00b understanding of cmake/C++ etc.06:48
didrockspitti: could have been worse, like qmake :)06:48

pittibonjour seb128 !07:45
seb128pitti, salut, comment ça va aujourd'hui ?07:45
pittiseb128: je vais bien, merci ! et toi ?07:46
seb128pitti, je vais bien aussi, merci ;-)07:47
pittiseb128: having fun with fixing FTBFS of C++ packages ;)07:47
seb128just spent a day to unscrew a phone07:47
seb128which was frustrating07:47
seb128I had nuke the imei, needed to install specific images and tools07:47
seb128it's no fun to figure out all the tools and find specific roms07:47
pittiurgh07:47
pittiI once completely screwed up my Xperia07:48
pittiI had to install windows and some recovery windows program that reset the entire thing including the bootloader with some magic07:48
pittinot fun07:48
pittiseb128: i. e. you even broke the bootloader?07:48
pittiI wouldn't know how to access such a thing without fastboot07:48
seb128yes07:49
seb128the phone looked very bricked07:49
seb128like screen would never turn on07:49
seb128and it would not vibrate07:49
seb128but apparently it still reacts to usb plug and power button press07:49
seb128because some tools react when the device is plugged or button pressed07:49
seb128even if the device doesn't show any sign07:49
seb128anyway I got it fixed07:50
pittigreat07:50
seb128but it took me a while to get the details right07:50
seb128imei is also annoying to put back07:50
seb128you can do it from the engineering mode on android07:50
seb128but that way it's not persistent07:50
seb128I put ubuntu back on the device and had no imei again07:50
darkxsthey seb128 pitti didrocks07:51
seb128had to reput android and find other tools07:51

willcookeseb128, hrm.  Seems to be that working out which application is requesting the unlock is "hard".  I still think there is value in at least trying.  I might add it to my wish list.  What do you think?08:12
Laneypitti: the "Successful" bunch at the end are all uploaded08:12
Laneyalong with the unsuccessful ones because I forgot to remove those .changes files :-/08:12

Laneychrisccoulson: weren't you moving out to the sticks?10:20
darkxstLaney, they have adsl in the sticks10:21
chrisccoulsonLaney, not quite the sticks - I'm right on the edge of a small market town. We have fibre here (our cabinet was upgraded a few weeks ago), but I need to wait for Openreach10:21
darkxstor atleast I do!10:21
chrisccoulsonI'm here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourne,_Lincolnshire10:22
Laneydarkxst: indeed! I think they get about 512kbps or maybe a bit more these days but it's better than dialup at least10:23
Laneychrisccoulson: not far from good old p-town10:24
darkxstbut I am less than a km from the exchange so its good10:24
LaneyI remember phoning up BT as a youth to beg for DSL10:24
Laneywe were 3 houses too far away from the exchange by copper length10:24
chrisccoulsonLaney, but the people who live right next to their exchange aren't laughing now (if they're on exchange-only lines)10:29
chrisccoulsonI looked at a house on an EO line - it's stuck with ADSL10:30
Laneyoh really?10:30
chrisccoulsonLaney, apparently they need to install a cabinet next to the exchange and move the lines across, which is a lot more work and costs quite a bit10:34
willcookeseb128, Laney - in larsu's absence a quick question... the scroll bars in the dash in 15.10 are still the original Unity ones - will that change and they will become the new OSB?10:43
seb128no10:43
seb128I pointed that out by then, I don't think anyone took an action item to change them10:43
seb128those are a custom unity thing, so I guess it's up to our unity people to say how much work that would be10:44
willcookemuhahahah10:44
seb128my gut feeling is that it's going to be non trivial and maybe not the top priority/most important thing to work on10:44
seb128though consistency would be good10:44
willcookeyeah, I agree - but I'll ask Trevinho tomorrow when he's back (if I remember).  Seems like a valid target for 16.04 though - depending  on LOE10:45
Laneyindeed10:46
Laneywould be good to have a bug for it10:46

ricotztseliot, hi, the packaging could really use some updates, also in regard for 355.x12:48
tseliotI'm waiting for 352 to be approved in wily-proposed (I uploaded that on July 23 but it's still in NEW)12:49
ricotztseliot, as usual please take the tarballs from edgers12:49
tseliotricotz: yes, I have the code in my local branch but I won't upload 355 (as it's a short lived release). I can certainly push 355 to my git branch though12:50
ricotztseliot, ok, I am more talking about finally using debsrc 3.0 for driver and settings12:51
ricotztseliot, and fixing this weird kernel 3.18 patch ;)12:51
tseliotricotz: are you saying that you did the work yourself (in which case patches are welcome), or that I should be working on it?12:51
tseliotand what's wrong with the patch for 3.18?12:52
ricotzmeaning I updated the packaging for 355 and properly tweaked the patch12:52
ricotzI didn't move it to debsrc312:52
tseliotricotz: I have some commits by NVIDIA for 355, so you might want to use those instead12:53

seb128pitti, that hostname bug, do you think /etc/hosts should be updated? or it's fine to have it keeping the old name?13:18

pitti"it" == /etc/hsots13:19

seb128I wonder if we should resume that discussion13:20
seb128or just add the recommends to u-c-c13:20
seb128since it's in systemd now and doesn't need a mir13:20
pittiinstalling libnss-myhostname auto-adds itself to nsswitch, so merely recommending it indeed ought to fix it for phone images13:22
Laneydidn't slangasek have a problem with libnss-myhostname?13:22
seb128pitti, I was thinking desktop more than phone, I don't think we have an UI to change hostname on the phone13:23

seb128pitti, do you know if systemd upstream refuses to update /etc/hosts on principle or what's the issue there?13:26
pittihm, *shrug*13:26
pittiwell, it's keeping the same information in two different files, and /etc/hosts is rather pointless13:26
pittithey (and other people too, like xnox) are trying to get rid of files in /etc/13:26
pittiand /etc/hosts is one of these "unbreak my system" ones which need to be there with an exactly defined contents13:26
pittiso I disagree with Steve on that13:27
seb128how do you recommend moving forward?13:27
seb1281- just add the recommends and ignore Steve13:27
seb1282- try to have that discussion again, maybe on ubuntu-devel@13:27
seb1283- disable hostname change in u-c-c13:28
seb128?13:28
seb128having the rename available but buggy is worth than not having it13:28
darkxstseb128, yes, that also affects us, in fact we probably filed the original MIR13:29
seb128darkxst, well, systemd is in main so as far as your are concerned you can add that recommends and be done with it13:29

jhodappLaney, well wanted to make sure you were still around before I asked16:00
LaneyI'd have responded later on, but anyway16:01
Laneyhere we are!16:01
jhodappLaney, anyway, we need to go up to gstreamer 1.5.2 for vivid+overlay, are you able to push the needed source packages into silo 21 easily?16:01
Laneyare you sure?16:03
jhodappLaney, yes because I'm trying to bring vivid+overlay up to where wily is at in terms of media-hub and such16:03
Laney1.5.x releases aren't stable16:03
Laneyyou might want to wait for 1.6 no?16:04
jhodappLaney, hmm, the only thing is it appears to fix a critical bug in the background playlist support, which is what I'm trying to land in silo 2116:05
jhodappLaney, if it's easy for you to push into the silo, can we try it? If it doesn't pass QA, then I can sync media-hub up to the point of needing 1.5.216:06
LaneyI'm sure it will basically work but I don't know if other bugs are lurking16:08
Laneyanyway, more to the point - I'm finishing shortly and then I'm away for two days so I can't help you this week I'm afraid16:08
jhodappLaney, right, it will need a very thorough QA of course, but I was already needing that for my landing16:08
Laneymaybe try seb128 ?16:08
LaneyYou'll want a plan to go to 1.6.0 without having to wade through bureaucracy :)16:09
jhodappLaney, I'm trying to get this done in the next few hours, so can you list quickly what I'd need to generate a source package of for my silo that you normally do?16:09
seb128Laney, jhodapp, sorry in an hangout, can't really read whole backlog, can you give some context?16:10
