[01:36] <cjwatson> "first reported 22 hours ago"
[01:36] <jdong> so Launchpad doesn't have a 1-hour delivery service like my local pizza shop?
[01:36] <jdong> (sometimes it can't even load a page before the pizza arrives.... :D)
[01:37] <cjwatson> damn, now I'm hungry
[01:45] <asac> slangasek: yes ... its in progress ;)
[01:45] <asac> slangasek: meaning its about to be uploaded
[01:45] <slangasek> ok :)
[01:45] <TheMuso> cjwatson: Re the problem with germinate and the ubuntustudio meta not treating ubuntustudio-desktop as a dependency, I'm just wondering whether its worth adding ubuntustudio-desktop as a hard-coded dependency in the meta package for now as a workaround?
[01:46] <slangasek> cjwatson: that's still a lot of progress! :)
[01:46] <asac> slangasek: i use in progress to show you (RMs) that you don't have to bother ;)
[01:47] <cjwatson> TheMuso: it's OK, I'll fix it tomorrow
[01:47] <cjwatson> shouldn't be hard
[01:47] <slangasek> asac: noted :)
[01:47] <TheMuso> cjwatson: Ok.
[02:31] <lamont> slangasek: could you be so kind as to move libgcc2/gutsy/hppa to universe?
[02:32] <lamont> FWIW, that package gets sucked in by debootstrap, but need not.
[02:33] <lamont> and yes, that'll make lots and lots of main not installable without universe, until the buildd catches up with things
[02:33] <lamont> OTOH, debootstrap now workd
[02:33] <lamont> works, even
[02:37] <slangasek> lamont: done, I think
[02:38] <lamont> heh.  thanks
[02:40] <lamont> hrm... why is gcc-3.4 still in main?
[02:42] <slangasek> for libg2c0 apparently?
[02:42] <lamont> if gcc-3.4 is supposed to still be in main for gutsy, then oops.  libgcc2 and gcc-4.0-base need to be in main for hppa (gcc-3.4 depends libgcc2 which depends gcc-4.0-base)
[02:43] <lamont> or if you don't mind, I'll kick a no-change gcc-3.4 build to get hppa current, and we'll see if that removes the libgcc2 depends...
[02:43] <lamont> I think the latter is actually the correct answer
[02:45] <lamont> anyway, I'll prepare an upload once I get back in a couple hours, if it makes sense
[02:46] <lamont> after all, the rest of the compilers got rebuilt this last week... doko just doesn't love gcc-3.4 anymore, it seems. :=)
[02:46] <slangasek> heh
[02:51] <lamont> rebuilding it might work.  gone
[02:51] <lamont> and I'll pester you when I'm back home

[04:28] <lamont> feh
[04:28] <StevenK> It *seems* like every directory of this source bar one deals with -fPIC -DPIC
[04:28] <RAOF> Yay autofoo!  What is it?
[04:29] <lamont> RAOF: it's spelled autocrap
[04:29] <lamont> StevenK: ouch
[04:29] <StevenK> It's a guess on my part.
[04:30] <StevenK> I see -fPIC -DPIC in other parts of the build, and it seems like one object isn't getting -fPIC'd and when it comes time to link the whole thing together, it blows up.
[04:31] <lamont> how does it blow up?  and what arch?
[04:31] <ScottK> How big are the flames?
[04:32] <Hobbsee> |------------------|  <-- that big.  (not to scale)
[04:32] <StevenK> lamont: amd64
[04:32] <lamont> and the error?
[04:32] <bddebian> hehe
[04:32] <RAOF> Because amd64 *really* cares about PIC.
[04:32] <RAOF> i386, not so much.
[04:32] <StevenK> lamont: I'm getting there, my machine is building. :-)
[04:32] <lamont> ah, ok
[04:40] <StevenK> /usr/bin/ld: ../libtinymailui-gnome-keyring/libtinymailui-gnome-keyring.a(tny-gnome-keyring-password-getter.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
[04:40] <StevenK> lamont: ^
[04:41] <lamont> yeah - you need -fPIC, and probably -DPIC if that's what the rest of the build says...
[04:41] <StevenK> lamont: If I hack libtinymailui-gnome-keyring/Makefile and add -DPIC -fPIC to the LIBTINYMAIL_CFLAGS, it works. I'm just uncertain how to fix it with autobork
[04:42] <lamont> which gets us to why I hate autocrap
[04:42] <RAOF> StevenK: You could patch Makefile.am to add -fPIC to the CFLAGS.
[04:42] <lamont> look at Makefile.in in a directory that works?
[04:43] <lamont> or possibly Makefile.am, depending on which exists...
[04:43] <lamont> .am if present, then .in, then Makefile
[04:43] <RAOF> StevenK: But isn't autofoo meant to do that automatically for shared libs-on-amd64?
[04:43] <StevenK> -fPIC exist in none of the Makefile.{in,am}
[04:43] <lifeless> StevenK: its either something settings CFLAGS that should set AM_CFLAGS
[04:43] <lifeless> or similar on a per-target pasis
[04:43] <lifeless> StevenK: -fPIC is set by autoconf at configure time, it only ever exists in Makefile and config.status
[04:44] <StevenK> Ah ha.
[04:44] <lamont> so something in a Makefile.am or config* is causing it to not set it in that directory - grepping for that dir and a working one through the tree might bear fruit.
[04:44] <lamont> and lifeless knows far more about auto* than I ever want to
[04:49] <StevenK> Hum. -fPIC only appears in 3 makefiles
[04:52] <StevenK> The broken directory's Makefile.am sets INCLUDES without including AM_CFLAGS
[05:41] <thully> I've got an issue with gnome-power-manager that has been nagging for some time
[05:41] <thully> I've found a source of the problem, but am unsure of the exact solution (I'm not exactly a C whiz...)
[05:42] <thully> The bug is bug #137598
[05:42] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 137598 in gnome-power-manager "Screen brightness resets to default (maximum) on idle with AC plugged in" [Undecided,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/137598
[05:42] <ScottK> thully: This is a pretty quiet time here.  Most devs are sleeping.
[05:43] <ScottK> thully: Are you sure it's a regression?
[05:43] <thully> OK - I guess I figured that they were scattered across many time zones...
[05:44] <ScottK> They are, but the concentration is in in US/Europe.
[05:44] <thully> It may not be a regression per se, but in any case Feisty didn't do it with the AC plugged in
[05:44] <ScottK> I'm not sure what that means.
[05:44] <ScottK> What did Feisty do wrong?
[05:45] <thully> When I had the AC adapter plugged in, the screen didn't "dim" to full brightness on idle
[05:45] <thully> That's what it does on Gutsy
[05:45] <thully> However, I've pinned it down to the idle/dim logic in gpm-backlight.c
[05:45] <ScottK> OK.
[05:46] <ScottK> I'll call that a regression.
[05:46] <ScottK> What I recommend you do is add your findings to the bug in as much detail as you understand it.
[05:46] <ScottK> I'm going to milestone the bug for RC since it's a regression (I think I have sufficient power to do that).
[05:47] <thully> OK - I'm looking at the code to see if I can fix it.  I understand the problem fairly well, but i'm no C expert
[05:47] <ScottK> thully: It's now milestoned for RC due to being a regression.
[05:47] <thully> thanks
[05:48] <ScottK> OK.  If you can figure a patch, your odds go way up.
[05:48] <ScottK> In any case take it as far as you can.  If you figure a patch, then subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors to the bug.
[05:48] <Hobbsee> ScottK: you do, but dont be surprised if it gets dropped
[05:48] <Hobbsee> but if i'ts with a patch, then that'll elp it significantly
[05:49] <ScottK> Hobbsee: Sure.  No guarantees, but if it's a regression, I think an RC milestone is fair.
[05:49] <thully> I did have a few other regression issues, as well...
[05:49] <Hobbsee> ScottK: true.  assuming people have time to fix it.
[05:49] <ScottK> Which is why having a patch helps hugely.
[05:49] <thully> Those would be bugs 127101 and 137738

[05:50] <ScottK> Hobbsee: On that basis, what do you think about milestoning Bug #127772?

[05:51] <Hobbsee> ScottK: i'd check with the kernel team
[05:51] <Hobbsee> ScottK: they get hit real soon nwo by kernel freeze anyway
[05:52] <ScottK> thully: The xserver one is assigned to the Ubuntu X maintainer, so I think your odds there are as good as they get already.
[05:52] <Hobbsee> ScottK: ah, there is a starting point on that one.
[05:53] <ScottK> thully: The suspend/hibernate one really needs to be narrowed down to the affected package before I'd feel confortable milestoning it.
[05:53] <thully> ScottK/Hobbsee: I see they're working on it, but I really think they should revert intel driver to i810 for supported cards if the fix doesn't make it
[05:53] <ScottK> Well we aren't the people to have that argument with.
[05:54] <thully> who would be?  I mentioned it on the bug itself...
[05:54] <ScottK> The person to whom it's assigned.
[05:54] <thully> ScottK: regarding the suspend one, I almost certain it's gnome-power-manager being uber-sensitive
[05:54] <thully> as my machine suspends/resumes fine
[05:55] <ScottK> OK.  I'm a Kubuntu kind of person, so I'm not going to weigh in on that one.
[05:55] <ScottK> thully: Good luck figuring the patch.
[05:56] <thully> I guess I'll look at the diff from feisty - it works OK there...
[05:57] <thully> Honestly, I can't believe this gnome-power-manager is an actual upstream release - it is uber-buggy in a glaringly obvious way
[05:57] <RAOF> thully: It's possible that no-one else has their display brightness set < max when on AC? :)
[05:58] <Hobbsee> but then, i don tuse gnome, so i think it's a bit brighter anyway
[05:58] <lifeless> ha!
[05:58] <thully> no one - that's mind of unbelievable, as many screens are EXTREMELY bright at full brightness
[05:58] <thully> kind
[05:59] <RAOF> thully: Ok.  No-one from the g-p-m team?
[06:00] <Amaranth> RAOF: the g-p-m team is ogra
[06:01] <RAOF> Amaranth: Heh.  Ok, that *ogra* has his brightness set to 100% on AC.
[06:01] <Amaranth> RAOF: What is a sane default if not 100?
[06:01] <RAOF> Indeed.
[06:02] <Amaranth> Just push the button on your keyboard to turn it down and it'll be remembered
[06:02] <Amaranth> or use the panel applet, or gconf-editor
[06:03] <RAOF> But that's not quite the bug, though.
[07:11] <Hobbsee> asb
[07:11] <Hobbsee> asac: btw, my wifi works at uni too now!  well done!  (ipw3945, unencrypted)
[07:14] <lifeless> Hobbsee: does NM work for you?
[07:15] <RAOF> lifeless: Works for me (ipw3945/iwl3945, WPA2/WEP/unencrypted)
[07:15] <lifeless> I have a iwl3945
[07:15] <lifeless> crashes for me
[07:15] <Hobbsee> lifeless: yes, fully now
[07:16] <lifeless> hmm, I'll update and try again
[07:16] <Hobbsee> lifeless: it didnt used to connect on open networks
[07:16] <RAOF> Worked, most of the time, with iwl.  Definitely works with ipw
[07:16] <lifeless> Hobbsee: 'kernel panic'
[07:16] <Hobbsee> lifeless: ouchy.  never had that from wifi
[07:16] <lifeless> indeed
[07:17] <StevenK> I've had ipw2200 cause kernel BUG and an Oops, but never a panic
[07:17] <RAOF> lifeless: Does ipw work, though?
[07:17] <lifeless> RAOF: I haven't tried replacing the driver; massively short on time to fiddle. I just nuked NM and ran up /etc/interfaces
[07:18] <RAOF> The iwl3945 have still got their pciid's patched out to ensure you deliberately load it, right?
[07:44] <lamont> then again, having disabled it, I find that my multi-homed-laptop life is much happier
[07:44] <StevenK> I don't have many problems with NM on Feisty
[07:45] <lamont> I have no problems with it either, since I killed it... :-)
[07:45] <lamont> it was its decision to switch networks for me, or re-up an interface and route lots of stuff down a default path that was currently bogus that caused me to decide that it must die
[07:46] <lamont> I suppose I should try enabling it in gutsy and see if it's any better
[08:11] <slangasek> lamont: "NM inspires in me a great capacity for hurling fire works at the people who thought it up"? ;)
[08:11] <StevenK> Hahaha
[08:11] <lamont> slangasek: you know I would never do that.
[08:11] <Hobbsee> fireworks would be too painless.
[08:12] <StevenK> lamont: What, not personally, anyway? :-)(
[08:12] <StevenK> s/(//
[08:12] <lamont> I think I would like NM more if it believed that there was more than one use-case
[08:12] <slangasek> I thought you weren't a volunteer firefighter anymore, it's no longer a conflict of interest ;)
[08:12] <lamont> Hobbsee: the trick is to get the right kind....
[08:12] <StevenK> Like napalm
[08:12] <lamont> slangasek: I did retire. makes it much harder to get useful fireworks. :-)
[08:12] <StevenK> Hah
[08:14] <StevenK> lamont: The one use case being "You are using only one of wired or wireless with DHCP" ?
[08:14] <RAOF> StevenK: And possibly using some form of VPN
[08:15] <StevenK> Actually, I think the one use case of NM is "You want to spend hours debugging network issues while I 'help' you, right?"
[08:15] <lamont> StevenK: "you only have one interface active ever, and you never manually set it up to anything other than what I think the default is."
[08:15] <lamont> for bonus points, postrm downs the interface
[08:15] <lamont> so never remove networkmangler remotely
[08:15] <liw> I'm a lucky member of the one NM use case (now that I figured out you mean NetworkManager and not the Debian thing :)
[08:15] <RAOF> Heh.   Let me start it for you."

[08:29] <Hobbsee> oh right.
[08:29] <Hobbsee> that explains even more then.
[08:29] <lamont> nothing to do with debian, actually
[08:30] <StevenK> lamont: You went from HP to Canonical and then back again?
[08:30] <Hobbsee> no, but if you were at canonical, it would explain everything - not enough people have access to them to fix it as it is.

[08:31] <lamont> I could be wrong, but I don't believe bdale actually has anyone reporting to him.

[08:33] <ion_> Blame Canada.
[08:34] <soren> If I don't get asked for my root password when I upgrade cups-pdf, am I doing something wrong?
[08:36] <slangasek> StevenK: ?
[08:37] <StevenK> slangasek: ari being, well, ari
[08:37] <slangasek> well, yes
[08:39] <torkel> soren: No. You probably already have the cups-pdf print queue before upgrading
[08:40] <StevenK> Where as Hobbsee probably doesn't
[08:40] <Hobbsee> print queue?
[08:41] <calc> davidm: hi! :) (yea you are probably asleep i should be too)
[08:41] <StevenK> Hobbsee: cups-pdf adds a "Print to PDF" queue on upgrade.
[08:41] <StevenK> Hobbsee: That's what that lpadmin command is trying to do.
[08:41] <Hobbsee> right
[08:45] <realist> That reminds me, printing a pdf from evince didn't work last week, yet piping pdf2ps output to lp worked - should I try and reproduce on a default install?
[08:46] <liw> realist, you should always try to make a bug reproducible :)
[08:47] <liw> http://www.debuggingrules.com/ -- I don't think I've mentioned this anywhere today :)
[08:50] <realist> liw: what if I can only reproduce the bug with said pdf file?
[08:51] <liw> realist, if you can share (privately) that pdf with evince maintainers (Ubuntu/upstream), that would be great, but if not, things may get difficult, unless you can debug it yourself
[08:52] <StevenK> I can remember wiggy complaining that OpenOffice always used to crash when he was playing with documents under a NDA
[08:52] <Spads> liw: that poster reminds me of the Reading Rainbow posters we used to have at school in the 80s.  They had Levar Burton on them and said "Reading.  It's not just FUN: It's FUN-damental!"
[08:52] <soren> torkel: Oh, right.
[08:52] <realist> Fortunately this isn't under NDA, but it may have personally identifiable information in it :-(
[08:53] <realist> I'll try on another machine first, then from gutsy.
[08:59] <Mirv> cjwatson: if you have time, bug 147612 links to remaining installer i18n problems besides being a bug itself. especially I'd really like to have the final "Install" button translated.

[09:00] <mdke> iwj: around?
[09:19] <lamont> slangasek: still awake?
[09:27] <mdke> I need to batch rename a substantial number of files from filename-LANG.po to LANG.po, does anyone know how I can do that?
[09:29] <lamont> for f in filename-*.po; do mv $f ${f#filename-}; done
[09:29] <lamont> I imagine someone has crafted some special command to do that, but why bother? :-)
[09:30] <Mithrandir> rename s/filename-// filename-*.po ?
[09:31] <mdke> Mithrandir: do you think "svn rename" supports that too?
[09:31] <Mithrandir> it doesn't
[09:31] <mdke> ok
[09:31] <Mithrandir> but lamont's version could work with svn rename
[09:31] <lamont> Mithrandir: given tac-nukes...
[09:32] <lamont> s/given/once you have/
[09:32] <mdke> I replace "mv" with "svn mv"?
[09:32] <lamont> or mv with svn rename
[09:32] <Mithrandir> lamont: to you, everything smaller than a tac-nuke's not worth having.
[09:32] <lamont> or whatever svn wants
[09:32] <Mithrandir> s/everythin/anything/
[09:32] <lamont> heh
[09:33] <lamont> I will admit that it's not uncommon for people to scratch their heads when they have occasion to watch me type in a "one-liner" shell command that's a few hundred characters long, including some semi-complex regexps in sed or so...
[09:34] <StevenK> lamont: Hey, that happens to me too!
[09:34] <slangasek> lamont: sadly
[09:35] <lamont> slangasek: since Mithrandir admitted to being awake, I figured I'd abuse him for the sync. :-)
[09:35] <slangasek> ok then
[09:35] <Mithrandir> sync, schmynk?
[09:36] <lamont> Mithrandir: I have to actually upload it to debian first...
[09:36] <slangasek> calc: how's OOo doing?
[09:36] <Mithrandir> lamont: ahkay
[09:36] <lamont> they're all either trivial, or at least interesting in LP
[09:38] <mdke> lamont: I've tried http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39431/ (I've just put in one filename, "about-ubuntu" to test). Can you see where it's wrong?
[09:38] <lamont> I knew it was dangerous to answer that question... :-)
[09:38] <mdke> perhaps I haven't got the paths right
[09:39] <mdke> ok, if you're too busy, please don't worry
[09:39] <mdke> i'll try and play with it
[09:40] <mdke> lamont: yeah, sorted, sorry
[09:41] <slangasek> lamont: wrt the "BIOS clock" question - surely if there isn't such a question today, there's an assumed answer to this question?
[09:41] <lamont> for i in about-ubuntu ; do for x in $(cd $i/po && echo $i-*.po); do echo $x ; echo svn mv $i/po/$x $i/po/${x#$i-}; done ; done
[09:41] <lamont> slangasek: "utc"
[09:42] <slangasek> lamont: so what's the problem with going with that answer?
[09:42] <lamont> which, if you're dual-booting, tends to be wrong
[09:42] <lamont> since windoze insists that the BIOS clock == localtime
[09:42] <lamont> it's not like windoze gives you the option
[09:42] <slangasek> ok, so this is the "system assumes UTC, Windows resets to local time, fsck gets the time wrong on reboot" case
[09:43] <lamont> so the solution is to set BIOS==localtime, and always make sure that windoze is running when daylight-savigs time changes happen
[09:44] <lamont> this is the "kernel assumes UTC, we don't fix it, then we do (ntpdate), and now the timestamp on the about-to-be-checked FS is in the future, because you have the misfortune of living east of Greenwich" thing
[09:44] <slangasek> I have to say I'm a bit worried about changes in this area so close to release, because I'd believed this whole thing was sorted twice before now
[09:45] <lamont> slangasek: where as I knew it wasn't sorted... the last time I came close to it, there was no answer that worked... and then they made /etc/localtime not a symlink to /usr/ (which is frequently not on the root partition - major mess)
[09:45] <slangasek> hrm, "kernel assumes UTC" - at what point are you saying that's a problem, does the system even know the timezone at that point? .... or does it know the timezone because of the last fix?
[09:45] <lamont> and then Ted was kind enough to file a very detailed explanation
[09:46] <lamont> at the kernel boot time, it doesn't know the TZ, assumes UTC
[09:46] <lamont> as long as we get the time corrected before we mount /, then we haven't screwed over e2fsck
[09:46] <slangasek> ok, so... isn't that the same bug as always?
[09:46] <lamont> so we need to fix the clock before we mount -oremount,rw /
[09:46] <lamont> yep
[09:46] <slangasek> so is it *really* fixed this time? :)
[09:47] <lamont> picky picky.
[09:47] <lamont> for non-ubiquity installs, yes
[09:47] <slangasek> ok.
[09:47] <lamont> "we deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause ubiquity users in the eastern hemisphere who use BIOS=local"
[09:48] <lamont> we regret it so much that we might change ubiquity to let them fix it before hardy ships
[09:48] <slangasek> s/BIOS=local/Windows/
[09:48] <slangasek> ;)
[09:48] <lamont> nah - I use windoze with localtime==UTC
[09:48] <lamont> because, dammit.  BIOS==utc
[09:48] <slangasek> heh
[09:48] <lamont> so windoze gets to think we live in the UTC TZ
[09:49] <realist> That's how I would resolve it, if I used Windows, that is.
[09:49] <lamont> many users get very confused if they see UTC times
[09:49] <sladen_> so storing the timezone offset in the filesystem (with one of the offsets being "unknown"
[09:49] <sladen_> then anything within 24hours of unknonwn can be discounted
[09:50] <sladen_> and then in that case, the generic case could be to discount a timeout +/-12hours of the considered time
[09:51] <lamont> ew
[09:51] <lamont> hrm.. when did debootstrap become arch:any?
[09:51] <sladen> well that's actually the fix isn't it.  to turn a timeout of 180days into  179days +/- 1 day
[09:52] <lamont> no.  the hack solution for gutsy was to have e2fsprogs pick up a config option that says to ignore the fact that the filesystem time is in the future
[09:53] <slangasek> lamont: it... didn't?
[09:53] <lamont> distinguish between a system whose clock is off by two hours, and one that is in +0200
[09:53] <sladen> (...in the future /by less than 24hours/)
[09:53] <lamont> slangasek: ah... it's been arch:any for _quite_ sometime... my bad.
[09:54] <lamont> anyway, mind if I do 1.0.3build1
[09:54] <slangasek> lamont: er, what?

[09:54] <slangasek> yes, a no-change rebuild of /what/?
[09:55] <slangasek> ah, the udeb is arch: any

[09:56] <lamont> once I get bind9 in, ubuntu-standard is installable from ports.u.c
[09:56] <lamont> OTOH, installing from ports.u.c is b0rked because of (so far) debootstrap
[09:57] <slangasek> lamont: ok, go for it (mutter binary udeb for arch: all deb grumble)

[10:02] <lamont> ah.  makes sense then
[10:02] <seb128> slytherin: why my take? I don't know anything about libtheora
[10:02] <lamont> Mithrandir: you should have had me hold Hobbsee down before you tickled.
[10:02] <lamont> then your feet would hurt less
[10:02] <Hobbsee> hm
[10:03] <slytherin> seb128: You are the uploader, right? That is what Riddell said
[10:03] <Mithrandir> lamont: I run faster than her, so she's just _claiming_ to have stomped my feet.
[10:03] <Hobbsee> lamont: i fight fairly hard when held - so, you may be putting yourself up for a lot of pain with that.
[10:03] <Mithrandir> lamont: also, have you ever tried stomping the feet of somebody who's running?
[10:03] <lamont> Mithrandir: I find that tripping them first helps
[10:03] <StevenK> Usually, you end up either tripping, or tripping them
[10:03] <slytherin> seb128: That bug has some test packages I have created. Riddell has commented, but I am waiting for your comments too.
[10:03] <Hobbsee> hehe
[10:03] <seb128> slytherin: I did the sync with Debian for whatever reason but I'm not maintaining the package
[10:03] <lamont> Hobbsee: we call it ground-work at my dojo. :-)
[10:04] <Hobbsee> lamont: dojo?
[10:04] <StevenK> Place one goes to do karate
[10:04] <StevenK> Well, martial arts
[10:04] <slytherin> seb128: That complicates the matter. :-(
[10:04] <Hobbsee> oh right, yes
[10:05] <seb128> slytherin: BTW you can't sync this one Debian, there is Ubuntu changes required
[10:07] <slytherin> seb128: I will be very happy if you can find some time stating what changes. I will recreate the package accordingly. I am new to the packaging thing. :-D
[10:10] <seb128> slytherin: I'll have a look today don't bother
[10:10] <seb128> slytherin: better to start on some universe packages for you ;)
[10:10] <slytherin> seb128: Ok. Thanks a ton.
[10:10] <seb128> you're welcome
[10:10] <slytherin> seb128: will do when hardy repos open up.
[10:11] <seb128> cool
[10:11] <slytherin> seb128: I wanted to test theora beta, that is why I created the package. There seems to be no breakage and performance is good. :-)
[10:12] <seb128> do you notice any difference with the alpha version we have?
[10:14] <slytherin> performance improvement (less CPU usage), encoding as well as decoding.
[10:20] <lamont> Mithrandir: feel like reviewing 82178
[10:20] <lamont> and oops.  my bad on 131415
[10:20] <lamont> both are closed,  but the changelog is only in 82178
[10:21] <lamont> (I waited for the 'accepted' mail from debian.. see, I can be good... :-)
[10:22] <Mithrandir> lamont: did you time it for the 13-14-15 bug? :-P
[10:22] <lamont> no
[10:22] <Mithrandir> lamont: looks fine to me.
[10:22] <lamont> pure serendipity
[10:22] <lamont> syncage, por favor
[10:22] <Mithrandir> file sync bug, then. :-)
[10:22] <slytherin> Mithrandir: Are you currently maintaining bluez-utils package?
[10:23] <Mithrandir> slytherin: yes
[10:23] <lamont> I was told that we should just use existing bugs for the sync requests
[10:23] <lamont> if you want a separate one, I'll file it
[10:23] <Mithrandir> lamont: just make sure the existing one says "plz sync" and sub ubuntu-archive then
[10:24] <lamont> 82178 has that/.
[10:24] <Mithrandir> indeed.
[10:24] <lamont> OTOH, I simply subscribed ubuntu-archive to 131415, because I suck
[10:25] <slytherin> Mithrandir: I believe there is a problem with XSBC-Original-Maintainer field, currently it is specified as XSBC-Maintainer.
[10:25] <lamont> two bugs.  I had a 50-50 chance of hitting the right one when I subscribed u-a the first time...
[10:25] <Mithrandir> lamont: meh, syncing from incoming sucks, it'll be done friday.
[10:26] <lamont> Mithrandir: but... my patience.....
[10:27] <lamont> OTOH, I'll be good and wait
[10:27] <Mithrandir> slytherin: thanks; fixed.
[10:27] <lamont> actually, it'll hit sid in about 10.5 hours-ish... it could be done Wed. :-)
[10:28] <lamont> filing sync requests for things in incoming sucks, too, btw.
[10:28] <StevenK> Filing sync requests for things when packages.debian.org hasn't updated to have the new changelog sucks too.
[10:29] <slytherin> Mithrandir: Also, the homepage url should be changed to http://www.bluez.org because the old sf.net url doesn't work anymore. :-D
[10:29] <lamont> StevenK: I think that's the more general case of the pain I was referring to
[10:29] <StevenK> lamont: Yeah, but Incoming will sort itself out - in my experience packages.d.o sorts itself out much much slower
[10:30] <lamont> StevenK: but the reason filing the sync req for incoming-stuff is painful is because p.d.o isn't curent
[10:30] <lamont> current, even
[10:31] <stgraber> Has anyone be able to make crypted LVM to work on USB HDD with today Ubuntu alternate ? (even without splash, I see the kernel detecting the HDD, then nothing)
[10:32] <stgraber> hmm, after a while I have the initramfs prompt and "/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root does not exist" message :(
[10:32] <Fujitsu_> stgraber: A fix was uploaded about 11 hours ago.
[10:32] <Fujitsu_> It works, too.
[10:33] <stgraber> weird that it isn't in today daily then
[10:34] <Fujitsu_> stgraber: To boot it manually, just run `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdaX something', and hit Ctrl+D.
[10:34] <stgraber> ok
[10:34] <Fujitsu_> Erm, hit Ctrl+D after entering the password and hitting enter, that is.
[10:58] <slytherin> Does nautilus really require libbeagle for compilation? Or does it work with libtracker?
[10:59] <seb128> slytherin: it requires libbeagle to work with beagle for users who decide to use this indexer
[11:01] <slytherin> seb128: Thanks for info.
[11:01] <seb128> slytherin: you're welcome
[11:02] <seb128> slytherin: I think I'll not do the libtheora update, I'm not comfortable enough with the SVN changes to apply them and I don't want to upload a version that crashes on powerpc
[11:03] <slytherin> seb128: Will do it then if they release beta 2? I had a conversation on #theora yesterday and they said they will release beta 2 if that is important for Ubuntu.
[11:03] <slytherin> seb128: So ball is in our court. :-)
[11:04] <seb128> slytherin: that will need another approval from slangasek or pitti but would make things easier
[11:05] <StevenK> elky!

[02:14] <carlos> hmm, there is a .pot file pending of being imported into gnome-control-center
[02:15] <TomaszD> hmm update doesn't show language-pack-pl
[02:15] <carlos> so another possible problem is that the string was updated with that other upload to the archive and thus, Launchpad is still missing it
[02:15] <TomaszD> last time I've updated was a few hours ago, there was a language-pack-pl and I've reloaded the session and then noticed that bug
[02:16] <carlos> TomaszD: I think is last thing I told you. I have the same problem in Spanish
[02:17] <carlos> so Launchpad is missing that concrete string
[02:17] <carlos> and thus, is not able to export it
[02:17] <carlos> or offer it for translation
[02:17] <TomaszD> but it does offer it for translation
[02:17] <carlos> once the import queue handles that pending .pot file the problem will be fixed
[02:17] <TomaszD> I've changed the string today to fix the accelerator key
[02:17] <carlos> TomaszD: are you 100% sure is that exact string?
[02:18] <TomaszD> 100% sure
[02:18] <TomaszD> E_xtra effects: blah blah blah
[02:18] <carlos> any comma, dots or accelerator changes will make it different
[02:18] <seb128> TomaszD: the string changed
[02:18] <seb128> it used to use computer
[02:18] <seb128> and not graphic-card
[02:18] <carlos> so that's it
[02:18] <TomaszD> ah! so the template is out of date
[02:18] <seb128> "Requires faster computer."
[02:18] <seb128> "Requires faster graphics-card."
[02:19] <seb128> yes
 hmm, there is a .pot file pending of being imported into gnome-control-center
[02:19] <TomaszD> the changelog didn't mention any string changes, it's already late into the game
[02:19] <carlos> seb128: that's what I just said
[02:19] <seb128> I didn't know about it
[02:19] <seb128> MacSlow did the change while cleaning the glade changes
[02:19] <seb128> that was not documented in the changelog
[02:20] <TomaszD> oh well, will have to wait for the new template and then translate it, dang keeping up with all the changes is hard
[02:20] <carlos> aren't we in string freeze?
[02:21] <MacSlow> seb128, ups... sorry :/
[02:22] <seb128> carlos: dunno, freezes are not announced and I didn't look at the schedule recently
[02:22] <seb128> carlos: let me look
[02:22] <TomaszD> that's what I wanted to say. :]  no problem though, as long as I know these things...
[02:22] <MacSlow> seb128, ehm... wait... that is documented in the changelog
[02:23] <carlos> seb128: seems like we don't have a string freeze
[02:23] <carlos> we used to have one, though

[02:24] <seb128> MacSlow: not that you changed the wording of the options, which breaks translations
[02:25] <seb128> MacSlow: that's ok but we should really stop changing strings now or those items will not be translated for gutsy, it's already late for translators

[02:28] <jamiemcc> hi Keybuk whats up?
[02:28] <Keybuk> jamiemcc: trackerd is hammering my disk sufficiently hard that things like evolution are almost unresponsive
[02:28] <Keybuk> tracker-status says it's Indexing
[02:28] <Keybuk> but none of the numbers in tracker-stats are increasing
[02:29] <jamiemcc> with latest version 0.6.3?
[02:29] <Keybuk> and, most strangely, EvolutionEmails remainds at 0
[02:29] <Keybuk> yes
[02:29] <Keybuk> (and rebooted after install)
[02:30] <jamiemcc> Keybuk: do you use imap with evo?
[02:30] <Keybuk> yes
[02:30] <jamiemcc> or is t pop
[02:30] <Keybuk> imap with local folder caching
[02:31] <jamiemcc> Keybuk: is it wqriting to disk or constantly reading?
[02:31] <Keybuk> how would I tell that?
[02:31] <jamiemcc> strace
[02:32] <Keybuk> strace on the second thread is all lseek() and read()
[02:32] <Keybuk> first thread is in futex(

[02:34] <jamiemcc> yeah
[02:35] <pedro_> jdstrand, not at all, the second one is useful, thanks
[02:35] <jdstrand> pedro_: ok great :)
[02:35] <jamiemcc> Keybuk: second thread is constantly reading?
[02:35] <Keybuk> the reason I say it's weird that it's not counting evolution mails is that through strace, I've seen it looking at them

[02:35] <Keybuk><EMAIL_ADDRESS>F_OK) = 0

[02:36] <StevenK> seb128: Gimp built, just about to test.
[02:38] <Keybuk> (I have just upgraded to 0.6.3, so I'm willing to believe it's just catching up with things)
[02:38] <jamiemcc> Keybuk: it should write out every 200 emails indexed for imap
[02:39] <Keybuk> the numbers are going up now
[02:39] <Keybuk> could it have been rewriting its index or something?
[02:39] <jamiemcc> Keybuk: 0.6.3 reindexes automatically
[02:40] <Keybuk> every time I login, or just once?
[02:41] <jamiemcc> keybuk: just once when upgrading from prior versions

[02:41] <Keybuk> EvolutionEmails : 19099
[02:41] <Keybuk> and climbing now
[02:41] <Keybuk> so maybe it was just upgrade blues
[02:41] <Keybuk> it's certainly noticing the mails now :)
[02:41] <Keybuk> and the disk is less hammering
[02:41] <jamiemcc> Keybuk: yeah or you had some bug file attachments
[02:41] <jamiemcc> big
[02:47] <StevenK> seb128: gimp patched, and built, and tested sucessfully. I'm uploading it now
[02:47] <seb128> StevenK: cool, thanks

[02:54] <soren> mjg59: I see you disabled the reference to the pm-utils website in gnome-power-manager.. Would it perhaps make sense to collect the information from the gutsy users so we have everything ready and shiny for hardy?
[02:56] <mjg59> soren: Which information?
[02:57] <soren> mjg59: AFAIR they're redirected to that page in order to get them to gather information about what it would take to make their system suspend/resume properly?
[02:57] <soren> Is this where you're going to point out that those instructions of course rely on the presence of pm-utils?
[02:57] <mjg59> Yup
[02:57] <soren> THought so.
[02:57] <soren> Never mind, then. :)
[02:58] <mjg59> I'm really hoping that we can migrate over to pm-utils by hardy
[02:58] <soren> Me too.
[02:58] <soren> Especially due to how easy it makes it for users to help discover all the quirks needed for their specific system.
[03:28] <Ng> am I right in thinking that the difference between booting the livecd and booting it with safe graphics is that the latter uses vesa?

[05:22] <Keybuk> ext3 so needs an "undo" feature
[05:22] <Spads> so that you can restore your nethack save files
[05:22] <Spads> ^-- Enterprise-level feature.
[05:23] <dobey> Keybuk: mc has undelete
[05:23] <dobey> mc the file manager that is
[05:23] <dobey> i think you need to know the inode info though
[05:24] <Keybuk> I was more thinking of "rm -rf /*" ... D'OH! UNDO! UNDO! UNDO!
[05:24] <Spads> that has some interesting security implications, of course
[05:25] <dobey> heh
[05:25] <StevenK> In terms of "Damn! So the Federal Police *can* see my kiddie porn!" ?
[05:25] <StevenK> ... Or something.
[05:25] <Keybuk> Spads: go I have a goatee?  am I wearing a Serenity t-shirt?
[05:25] <dobey> StevenK: well, even if you write all 0s to the disk 3 times, they can still find stuff.
[05:26] <jdong> nothing like a massive network of LVM snapshots for fun
[05:26] <Spads> Keybuk: You are zippy and I claim my non-sequitur.
[05:26] <Keybuk> security's all well and good, if you like that kind of thing
[05:26] <Keybuk> but I'd rather know what files I just accidentally deleted
[05:26] <Keybuk> so I can put them back
[05:26] <jdong> dobey: I've been told that you can never really wipe a magnetic medium to the point of impossible recovery... just make it increasingly difficult.
[05:26] <Keybuk> I'm kinda hoping it just got stuck in to evolution's cache before I hit ^C
[05:27] <StevenK> I think burning the disks platters would make it nigh on impossible.
[05:28] <jdong> dobey: and encryption/wiping is a complete nonissue when you've got criminal charges against you for something.... they'll jst slap on charges for failing to provide the secret key or destroying/concealing evidence anyway.... :)
[05:28] <dobey> jdong: well, there is certainly a point. however, the number of times you have to write 0s to the disk to actually make everything be 0 again, can be pretty high
[05:28] <dobey> jdong: there's a reason there are encryption export laws in the US
[05:29] <dobey> jdong: "if the NSA can't hack it, it can't be legal."
[05:29] <jdong> dobey: considering the urgency that they are switching to elliptic curve, I cannot help but suspect they've made significant headway on that.
[05:30] <dobey> jdong: and if you're on the defendent end of a case with the US vs. You, and the NSA is poking through your data, you're already screwed.
[05:30] <jdong> dobey: agreed :)

[05:43] <jdstrand> wrt string changes
[05:44] <tkamppeter> Riddell, doko, can you also upload hplip which fixes bug 147369 (see mail)
[05:44] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 147369 in hplip "MASTER: Printing via HPLIP does not work any more" [High,Fix committed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/147369
[05:44] <jdstrand> the fix is based on soren's work, and will just generate a random password if the mysql password is determined to be blank.  There is also a mechanism in the init script to reset the password.
[05:45] <jdstrand> I could just document it in the REAMDE as well as the changelog, but wanted some feedback
[05:46] <Riddell> tkamppeter: system-config-printer uploaded
[05:46] <soren> I'm really not all that keen on randomly setting passwords on people's existing installations.
[05:47] <soren> Hobbsee: Again?
[05:47] <Riddell> tkamppeter: where is hplip?
[05:47] <tkamppeter> Thanks, Riddell, this eliminates 9 bugs.
[05:47] <tkamppeter> Riddell, you should have gotten another e-mail. Otherwise at http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/hplip/  (the usual place)
[05:49] <jdstrand> soren: another option is to just detect the password is blank, and then alert the user whenever mysql is started until it is not blank
[05:49] <cjwatson> Spads: nethack save files> so are you an evil savescummer? :P
[05:49] <Spads> cjwatson: no, but I was when I ran DR-DOS
[05:50] <jdstrand> soren: but I don't think the intent was to ever have it be blank, so I think there is something to the argument that it should be changed.  It is a real vulnerability that just was never fixed
[05:50] <jdstrand> soren: though I understand what you are saying
[05:52] <soren> Hobbsee: /me cries
[05:53] <Hobbsee> soren: get to it :)
[05:53] <soren> jdstrand: I like that idea much better (telling the user he should be setting a password real soon)

[06:12] <Riddell> you're welcome
[06:36] <mathiaz> keescook: so for the apparmor parser revision number, what about creating just one package for the parser ?
[06:36] <keescook> that could work -- having a totally separate source package for the old parser?
[06:36] <mathiaz> keescook: that way we'll have apparmor-parser-2.0.1
[06:37] <mathiaz> keescook: yes. And then apparmor, apparmor-profiles with a revision number of 2.1+993
[06:37] <keescook> it might be more painful that just mod'ing the orig.tar.gz (since we'd need to put all the abstractions and man pages into the new one)
[06:37] <keescook> oh, you mean literally _just_ the parser.
[06:37] <mathiaz> keescook: yes.
[06:38] <keescook> looks like the man page is the same between 2.1 and 2.0.1
[06:39] <keescook> mathiaz: okay, yeah, I like this.  I think it's the cleanest solution.  We can add a Depends for it to the "apparmor" package.
[06:39] <keescook> and drop the parser from "apparmor".
[06:40] <mathiaz> keescook: yop. However, there is a correlation between the profiles and the parser.
[06:41] <mathiaz> keescook: the kernel provides a apparmor-modules-2.0
[06:41] <keescook> mathiaz: how about this, instead of a new source package, why not just make a new orig for the current apparmor, and add the old parser tree to the root directory?
[06:41] <keescook> then we can change the build to just build out of the old parser dir instead of the new one.
[06:41] <mathiaz> keescook: hum.. How about revision number then ?
[06:42] <mathiaz> keescook: the reason to create a separate source package for the parser is that we can have an appamor-parser-2.0.1
[06:43] <mathiaz> keescook: if we don't really care about revision number, I would just drop the old parser code in the bzr tree.
[06:43] <keescook> well, I was thinking about the profiles syntax version
[06:43] <keescook> true.
[06:43] <keescook> maybe that's the best way to deal with it.
[06:43] <mathiaz> keescook: OTOH the revision number would indicate that we have 2.1, but we really have 2.0.1
[06:43] <keescook> just drop the entire old parser in.
[06:44] <keescook> right, but the utils will still be 2.1
[06:44] <mathiaz> keescook: that may confuse users that try to add profile.
[06:44] <keescook> either way, we'll have confusion either the profiles won't be 2.1 style or the utils won't be the 2.0 versions.
[06:45] <keescook> I think the bulk of the interaction for people is with the utils, so we should try to keep those at 2.1.
[06:45] <mathiaz> keescook: yes. The later is less confusing.
[06:45] <mathiaz> keescook: hum... 2.1 has lots of new feature on the kernel side.
[06:46] <keescook> mathiaz: yeah.
[06:46] <Keybuk> why does pbuilder have to be run as root?
[06:46] <mathiaz> keescook: moreover I think that the 2.1 utils should work well with a 2.0 module.
[06:46] <mathiaz> keescook: the other way around doesn't work at all.
[06:47] <mathiaz> keescook: now I wonder if the utils would generate incompatible profiles.
[06:47] <keescook> mathiaz: oooh.  hmmm.  wait, no I think it builds them based off the hints from the kernel, which would do the right thing, right?
[06:48] <mathiaz> keescook: yes. I hope so.
[06:48] <mathiaz> keescook: but then there is the new file vs directory change.
[06:48] <keescook> mathiaz: hmm
[06:49] <mathiaz> keescook: I'll go through the changelogs to see if there is something related to it.
[06:50] <mathiaz> keescook: what would be needed to realease an updated version of apparmor with a revision number of 2.0.1 ?
[06:50] <cjwatson> mathiaz: either an epoch (but personally I'd be cautious about that), or else 2.1+993+really2.0.1-0ubuntu1 or similar
[06:51] <keescook> how about a new orig.tar.gz, where the version is 1:2.0.1+2.1utils-0ubuntu1 ?
[06:51] <keescook> cjwatson: why "really" vs epoch?
[06:52] <cjwatson> keescook: if there's anyone else providing the package, you have to go round and persuade them to bump the epoch too
[06:52] <cjwatson> but if that's not the case here I guess it's not a big deal
[06:52] <cjwatson> either way, be careful about shlibs on libapparmor
[06:53] <cjwatson> did libapparmor1 2.1 introduce any new symbols?
[06:53] <keescook> cjwatson: no, it's virtually a stub.  :)
[06:53] <cjwatson> I notice the shlibs seem to just say "libapparmor1"
[06:53] <cjwatson> ok, you dodge that bullet then ...
[06:54] <cjwatson> (versioned shlibdeps break if you want to wind versions backwards)
[06:57] <mathiaz> hum... So if we choose to use 2.0.1 where should we start the the revision number ? 0ubuntu26 ?
[06:58] <mathiaz> (0ubuntu25 was the last one used for 2.0.1 - and feisty has 0ubuntu4)
[06:59] <mathiaz> keescook: hum... we could actually use 2.0.1+993
[06:59] <cjwatson> you should definitely never reuse a previous version number
[07:00] <mathiaz> cjwatson: 2.0.1+993 has never been used.
[07:00] <mathiaz> cjwatson: feisty has 2.0.1+510.dfsg-0ubuntu4
[07:00] <mathiaz> cjwatson: and gutsy has 2.1+993-0ubuntu2:
[07:01] <mathiaz> cjwatson: 2.0.1+993 has never been used.

[07:19] <slangasek> still random
[07:19] <jdong> yikes...
[07:19] <jdong> do we have any idea what might be causing it?
[07:20] <slangasek> idea perhaps, but no patches; kernel team is talking about rolling back to a previous version of unionfs
[07:20] <cjwatson> (which also involves rolling back apparmor)
[07:21] <cjwatson> unionfs upstream is also looking at it
[07:26] <keescook> mathiaz: I think we should call it 2.0.1+993-0ubuntu3 for now, and if we need to roll back everything, use the "really" version suffix.
[07:27] <mathiaz> keescook: hum... 0ubuntu3 or 0ubuntu1 ?
[07:27] <keescook> er, sorry, I totally mis-typed
[07:27] <keescook> 2.1+993-0ubuntu3

[07:29] <mathiaz> keescook: I think it's misleading.
[07:29] <keescook> mathiaz: for now, yes.  once we figure out what combination of things will work, we can resolve the version number for real.
[07:29] <mathiaz> keescook: If you look at http://en.opensuse.org/AppArmor/Changes_AppArmor_2_1, half of what's written there is not supported.
[07:29] <mathiaz> keescook: ah ok. So just as a temporary solution, we use 2.1.
[07:30] <keescook> right
[07:30] <mathiaz> keescook: but for the final release we'll update the version to the correct number.
[07:32] <keescook> mathiaz: right.  I think we'll need to do a lot of testing first anyway.  version really is the least of our problems.  :)
[07:33] <mathiaz> keescook: ok. WFM.
[07:41] <alesan> does anybody have an idea if it is possible to ship a Ubuntu cd with a hardware product? do we need to ask canonical first?
[07:47] <cprov> seb128:  hi, who is driving apport atm ?
[07:48] <siretart> Keybuk: can you please comment on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/62751/comments/91?
[07:48] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 62751 in cryptsetup "Upstart doesn't activate luks volumes (also non luks) in cryptsetup" [High,Confirmed]
[07:49] <Keybuk> siretart: what would you like the comment to say?
[07:50] <siretart> is env a built-in in busybox?
[07:50] <Keybuk> which busybox?
[07:51] <seb128> cprov: "driving"?
[07:51] <siretart> err, that one in initramfs
[07:51] <cjwatson> siretart: no
[07:51] <Keybuk> siretart: yes
[07:51] <seb128> cprov: you mean hacking on it?
[07:51] <siretart> lol
[07:51] <Keybuk> CONFIG_ENV=y
[07:51] <cjwatson> siretart: it's provided as a command. it's not a built-in
[07:51] <Keybuk> yeah, what cjwatson said :)
[07:52] <siretart> ok
[07:52] <cjwatson> though, actually, it makes little difference, because the initramfs uses CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL=y
[07:52] <cprov> seb128: not exactly ;) but I've received reports that apport crashes when it tries to report a bug in a PPA package.
[07:53] <cjwatson> so in the initramfs Keybuk is right and it is effectively a builtin
[07:53] <cjwatson> in busybox-udeb it's an external command
[07:53] <Keybuk> yes
[07:53] <Keybuk> it's a not-builtin builtin thingy
[07:53] <seb128> cprov: the program crash, the kernel intercept it and call apport
[07:53] <Keybuk> maaaagic
[07:54] <cprov> seb128: yes, I know, the problem is that apport reports the bug as if the PPA package was in ubuntu.
[07:55] <cprov> seb128: uhm, doesn't it already happens for packages installed from other repositories ?
[07:55] <seb128> cprov: it should not report bugs for non official packages, I'm not sure of what the logic to detect that is though, you want to speak to pitti he's the one writing apport ;)
[07:56] <cprov> seb128: yup, he's out, I will file a bug for now, thanks
[07:57] <seb128> cprov: alright, you're welcome, sorry for not being really useful there ;)
[07:57] <seb128> time for diner now, bbl
[07:57] <cprov> seb128: no worries, you did great ;)

[08:18] <bdmurray> tkamppeter: my printer prints blank test pages until I change the printout mode
[08:33] <tkamppeter_> bdmurray, which model, which PrintoutMode gives blank pages, which one works? Please file a Launchpad bug.
[08:33] <tkamppeter_> Riddell, doko, can you also upload cups-pdf and cupsys for me (see mail). Note that cups-pdf needs the new cupsys (AppArmor fix).
[08:33] <seb128> slangasek: I'm assigned it to me, thanks for pointing it
[08:34] <bdmurray> tkamppeter_: Should the bug be filed about cupsys?
[08:34] <bdmurray> Or some other package?
[08:38] <jdong> is it safe in Ubuntu to isntall syslog-ng? (I see that it kicks off ubuntu-minimal)
[08:38] <carlos> nixternal: ping
[08:39] <mdke> iwj: ok, I'll leave a message. I wanted to check something re: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFirefoxStartPageTranslation. In the last section, is it correct that where a language is already in the list of translatable locales, but a translation isn't yet shipped in (e.g.) ubuntu-docs, the translation can simply be added without applying the procedure there? (example, en_GB)
[08:41] <tkamppeter_> bdmurray, it should be filed against the driver you are using, usually HPLIP for HPs, Gutenprint for most Epsons, ... See in system-config-printer which driver is used for your printer.
[08:42] <Keybuk> oh, that's right, before I got distracted by starting another round of daily tests, I was replying to an e-mail
[08:57] <slangasek> bug #125220 calls for adding default iocharset options to cdrom mounting; does it make sense for this to be a kernel default instead?

[09:07] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 133609 in compiz "No window decorations on compiz session statup" [Undecided,Incomplete]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/133609
[09:13] <minghua> slangasek: Does the kernel iocharset setting differentiate different filesystems?
[09:13] <Amaranth> slangasek: that bug should be closed, i guess
[09:14] <minghua> Actually, I'm pretty sure some of them don't, NTFS for example.
[09:35] <slangasek> I'm pretty sure ntfs supports iocharset=utf8, you just don't want to use it because it interferes with case-insensitivity
[09:36] <slangasek> at least that's the case for vfat
[09:36] <slangasek> though hmm, I guess I don't know if ntfs-3g supports it
[09:36] <jdong> slangasek: apparently you can do it but windows will hate your guts....
[09:36] <jdong> at least that's the gist I've heard
[09:36] <slangasek> er, why would that be? iocharset only controls how the filenames are exposed upwards, not how they're represented on disk
[09:39] <ion_> If an NTFS partition is mounted with a non-unicode charset and there are filenames in another encoding than the iocharset, they are hidden entirely.
[09:42] <slangasek> well, that's one instance of the same general problem of 125220
[09:43] <slangasek> i.e., a problem when iocharset != utf8
[10:02] <nixternal> carlos: pong?
[10:03] <minghua> slangasek: Last time I checked, the option for NTFS is "utf8", not "iocharset=utf8".
[10:04] <minghua> vfat, on the other hand, uses "iocharset=utf8"
[10:04] <carlos> nixternal: hi
[10:04] <minghua> I also vaguely remember that there were some changes from kernel 2.4 to 2.6.
[10:05] <carlos> nixternal: I wonder whether I should approve/reject the kubuntu/khelpdesktop/kubuntu/po/systemdocs.pot  template for kubuntu-docs package in Launchpad
[10:05] <carlos> nixternal: mdke told me I should ask you
[10:07] <lamont> g-p-m isn't iit (unless it's ignoring gconf)
[10:07] <nixternal> it needs to be translated...should I just send the po file to the list maybe?
[10:07] <nixternal> carlos: ^^
[10:08] <carlos> nixternal: I was not sure whether it was a mistake or not so it was not yet approved
[10:08] <carlos> nixternal: it should be available in Launchpad in next minutes
[10:09] <cjwatson> slangasek: with ntfs-3g, it's supposed to use the locale instead
[10:09] <cjwatson> i.e. it does character set interpretation based on the locale of the ntfs-3g process, which is typically inherited from /etc/default/locale
[10:10] <nixternal> carlos: you rock! if we ever meet, remind me that I owe you a drink of your choice :)
[10:10] <cjwatson> the old utf8, iocharset=utf8, nls=utf8, etc. options are ignored
[10:10] <carlos> nixternal: no need for that, but thanks ;-)
[10:11] <jdstrand> slangasek: I am working on fixes for bug #119075 for dapper -> gutsy.  dapper -> feisty will be handled simply by informing the user that the root account does not have a password, and provide a means to set it.

[10:12] <jdstrand> slangasek: I noticed your last comment, and I can very easily set a random password for gutsy
[10:12] <jdstrand> slangasek: with the same mechanism for changing it that I used in dapper -> feisty
[10:12] <carlos> nixternal: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/kubuntu-docs/+pots/systemdocs
[10:12] <jdstrand> slangasek: what do you think?
[10:13] <carlos> nixternal: hmm, that's a .desktop file...
[10:13] <jdstrand> slangasek: I can also just as easily use the same 'fix' for gutsy as for the other releases
[10:13] <carlos> nixternal: did you add the needed tag to get updates from language packs?
[10:14] <nixternal> carlos: dunno if I did or not...I am not 100% familiar with getting those done...I followed a tutorial somewhere I think
[10:14] <nixternal> but, since it doesn't sound like something I did, then I would have to say no
[10:14] <carlos> All .desktop and .directory files should have an: X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=systemdocs line (although this should be kdesytemdocs so it's not so generic, maybe kubuntusystemdocs...
[10:15] <nixternal> hrmm
[10:15] <carlos> nixternal: with that, you will get translation updates even after release time
[10:16] <nixternal> OK, don't know if it is to late to work that out now, if not I will fix it in trunk so that gets straightened out for hardy
[10:16] <carlos> well, not you, but Kubuntu users
[10:17] <carlos> nixternal: if you change the translationdomain (the filename for that template, tell me it, I must change it in Launchpad too)
[10:17] <nixternal> I could go ahead and fix that, in our repos and then reupload if that is cool?
[10:17] <Keybuk> cjwatson: I've tested every combination I can think of, and I cannot replicate #139230
[10:17] <carlos> nixternal: yeah, that's it
[10:17] <nixternal> carlos: I will take a look at it here in a bit..I am finishing up some stuff here before my lovely evening class on "how to make a myspace website" :) just kidding, but it is javascript, so that is close enough :)
[10:18] <carlos> :-P
[10:18] <carlos> ok
[10:19] <cjwatson> Keybuk: get back to the submitter for details?
[10:19] <Keybuk> cjwatson: yup, am doing so; am going to remove the milestone as well since it works out of the box
[10:22] <lamont> mdz: you around/
[10:22] <lamont> ?
[10:25] <Keybuk> cjwatson: the other person who reported it definitely has the "/var/run and /var/lock don't exist on the root filesystem" bug
[10:29] <Keybuk> (which we have a cunning hack for in gutsy)
[10:31] <Kopfgeldjaeger> i cant find the bug about encryption@install (alternate cd, gutsy).. can somebody give me the bug number (maybe bookmarked?)

[10:59] <bryce> heya glatzor
[10:59] <glatzor> bryce: hello, have you made a decision about the temporarily fail safe mode?
[11:00] <bryce> yeah, I've got a new xorg package that I'm testing now
[11:00] <bryce> I expect to have it uploaded today
[11:01] <mjg59> bryce: Any chance you can change dexconf a touch?
[11:02] <mjg59> bryce: Rather than generating  "HorizScrollDelta" "0" it ought to be "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
[11:02] <mjg59> Otherwise there's no sane way to enable edge scrolling
[11:02] <glatzor> bryce: would you then also upload displayconfig-gtk?
[11:02] <glatzor> please
[11:03] <bryce> mjg59: sure I can put that change in
[11:03] <glatzor> bryce: should I apply the patch, that I sent you this morning?
[11:04] <mjg59> bryce: Sweet, thanks
[11:04] <slangasek> jdstrand: in discussion, the conclusion was that setting a random password is a bad idea because it's non-obvious to users how to recover access
[11:04] <bryce> glatzor: yes please do
[11:05] <bryce> glatzor: I've not had a chance to test that patch myself, but it looks good
[11:05] <lamont> slangasek: now that it's in sid... could you sync bind9 for bug 82178 and bug 131415?  kthxbye

[11:05] <lamont> :-)
[11:06] <jdstrand> slangasek: agreed, but I was thinking I'd let them know via debconf how to change it
[11:06] <slangasek> jdstrand: personally I don't think that's very user-friendly
[11:06] <jdstrand> slangasek: ala 'if you press Enter, a random password will be generated.  you can reset this by..."
[11:07] <jdstrand> slangasek: that's cool.  I'm fine with the high priority message.  pre-gutsy it was medium and hidden
[11:07] <lamont> slangasek: would you be annoyed if the ppc, amd64, and sparc buildds went manual mode for a little bit?
[11:07] <lamont> I'll assume that's a "YES"
[11:08] <jdstrand> slangasek: just thinking out-loud basically
[11:08] <glatzor> bryce: done. you can now upload it
[11:08] <lamont> slangasek: details for the bind9 sync are in 82178
[11:08] <bryce> glatzor: ok
[11:09] <slangasek> lamont: bind9: looking then
[11:09] <slangasek> lamont: on manual: is this the bootstrappery you were discussing with cjwatson earlier?
[11:09] <bryce> glatzor: actually I've not rolled a displayconfig-gtk package before - is there a make dist-like procedure, or do we just make a snapshot?
[11:10] <lamont> turns out that I have to add a key to the real root on the buildd for the bootstrappery to not kill all builds that happen with that chroot there...  so my choices are to manually make everything wait on starting the builds of mlton, or go add the &*(^ key on all of the affected architecture buildds
[11:10] <glatzor> bryce: Good question. I have never uploaded one :)
[11:10] <lamont> so, I'll go do the add-it-everywhere thing... I was just kicking a little on the way down
[11:11] <bryce> hmm; perhaps we should ask mvo to do it this time, and write down the process for us?  ;-)
[11:11] <glatzor> bryce: you could use bzr bd --source
[11:11] <slangasek> lamont: so the fix for 82178 is to drop the manpage?
[11:11] <lamont> yeah
[11:12] <lamont> or rather, to be specific about what man pages we deliver, instead of delivering all of man1
[11:12] <slangasek> good, I like it when packages get smaller
[11:13] <lamont> otherwise, it's typo fixes in manpages and that one fix at the very bottom, which is low-risk
[11:14] <lamont> (changes from call something that might assert to "if (this condition that's perfectly OK but will cause an assert does not exist) { call }
[11:14] <lamont> )
[11:18] <slangasek> lamont: the sync howto isn't working for me, and I'm not keen to poke things randomly to figure out why
[11:21] <lamont> slangasek: you are a wise man.
[11:22] <lamont> so... should I just upload -2build1 then?
[11:22] <slangasek> if you like
[11:26] <cjwatson> lamont: hang on
[11:26] <cjwatson> slangasek: what's going wrong?
[11:26] <lamont> cjwatson: it's about an hour from now before I get to that step
[11:27] <cjwatson> lamont: you don't need the chroots prodded?
[11:29] <lamont> cjwatson: I was gonna have cprov do that once he's back.  Unless you want to do it now
[11:30] <cjwatson> lamont: no, I'm off to bed in a moment
[11:32] <lamont> cjwatson: so I have things were I'm nearly certain that I won't break anything except maybe PPA builds on virtual machines during the time between pushing the bootstrap-enabled beast, and the bootstrap-disabled beast
[11:32] <lamont> on the bright side, I can retry stuff if I do break it. :-(
[11:32] <cjwatson> lamont: which version of bind9 were you trying to get bind9 to sync?
[11:32] <cjwatson> er, "were you trying to get slangasek to sync"
[11:33] <lamont> oh.  bind9_1:9.4.1-P1-2
[11:33] <cjwatson> where is that?
[11:33] <lamont> should be in sid.

[11:33] <cjwatson> isnae
[11:33] <cjwatson> oh, only JUST landed in sid
[11:34] <cjwatson> if you give things a chance to propagate, it'll be syncable just fine ...
[11:34] <lamont> bind9_9.4.1-P1-2.dsc	2007-Oct-03 05:02:01	0.8K	application/octet-stream
[11:34] <lamont> ah, ok
[11:34] <lamont> so it needs rmadison to be done and aware of the upload...
[11:34] <lamont> I suppose we can forgive a few hours more..
[11:34] <cjwatson> no
[11:34] <cjwatson> it needs whatever mirror we're using to have it
[11:35] <cjwatson> p.s. would help if my link to drescher would stay up
[11:36] <cjwatson> slangasek: workaround:
[11:36] <cjwatson> slangasek: wget the .dsc and .diff.gz from wherever, maybe best grab the .orig.tar.gz for good measure, into ~lp_archive/syncs/

[11:37] <cjwatson> my link to drescher is too flaky to attempt it at the moment, and it's bedtime

[11:41] <cjwatson> sync-source was our forked version which is clearly not kosher at the moment

[11:41] <cjwatson> night folks
[11:41] <slangasek> heh, ok
[11:44] <thully> hi - I was on this channel last night regarding bug 137598 - a regression from Feisty.  Anyway, I do have a patch for that, and it is attached to the bug report (diff against the source file in question).
[11:44] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 137598 in gnome-power-manager "Screen brightness resets to default (maximum) on idle with AC plugged in" [Medium,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/137598
[11:45] <lamont> slangasek: later, I'll want you to sync mlton from sid.  I think that was the motu decision
[11:48] <thully> The patch may not be the prettiest in the world (basically, what it does is check the appropriate "idle_dim" setting in the idle callback and doesn't call the brightness adjust function if it isn't set)
[11:49] <thully> One may want to stop the callback from happening altogether, but that involves gscreensaver and may not be desirable (in case other things are being done on idle)
[11:51] <thully> Anyway, I hope the devs can look at Ubuntizing this fix for the Gutsy release.  I think it would look bad to have this kind of bug (screen brightness adjusting on idle, no matter what the setting is) in Gutsy final...
[11:57] <thully> I've been taking a peek at Ubuntu-related code, and I must say I've noticed an incredible amount of flaws in gnome-power-manager.  This one is quite glaring, but I've also stumbled upon another regression in 63543
[11:59] <thully> I posted a patch for that in the bug report, but it still will change the brightness on exiting idle - even if the brightness is < the idle brightness on idle...
[12:00] <thully> g-p-m 2.18 was fine in all these respects - it's just that g-p-m 2.20 has apparently fscked up the handling of idle and brightness with a rewrite of most of the relevant code...
[12:08] <Keybuk> thully: 63543 is a pretty old bug, so has been present for at least one release
[12:09] <thully> actually, I just reopened bug 63543 - it wasn't in Feisty, but is back in Gutsy since they rewrote most of the relevant code in g-p-m

[12:09] <Keybuk> thully: have you talked to hughsie about your patches?
[12:09] <thully> no - I guess I probably should - do I need to file upstream bug reports first?
[12:10] <Keybuk> if it's the upstream code that's regressed, it's probably better to talk directly to him
[12:10] <Keybuk> since it seems like you know what you're talking about
[12:10] <Keybuk> and get it fixed upstream :)
[12:10] <thully> I think so, but I know there is a UVF in Gutsy that would seem to block said changes from being integrated from upstream
[12:11] <Keybuk> GNOME is in the same UVF right now :)
[12:12] <Keybuk> though if hughsie acks the patches, they're much more likely to be applied
[12:12] <Keybuk> since we'll know they're going upstream and can be dropped for our next release

[12:16] <pwnguin> binary i think
[12:17] <pwnguin> i remember one was affected and the other wasnt
[12:17] <lamont> slangasek: so does that mean that bind9 didn't get synced and I should upload, or that it's inbound and I should STFU and wait like a good little boy?
[12:17] <Keybuk> pwnguin: we can fix one, but not the other
[12:17] <pwnguin> Keybuk: vbetool works, but not xset
[12:18] <lamont> Keybuk: any clues on why my backlight dims on battery, even though g-p-m has been told to 1) not dim, and 2) 100% is a good dimlevel, via gconf-editor?
[12:18] <Keybuk> lamont: sodomy non sapiens
[12:18] <lamont> is ATI M56P
[12:18] <Keybuk> I know next to nothing about g-p-m
[12:19] <lamont> heh
[12:19] <lamont> ok
[12:19] <slangasek> lamont: my attention drifted elsewhere, if you want to upload go ahead otherwise I'll look at it later on (at a point where the mirrors should have synced)
[12:19] <Keybuk> lamont: I didn't even know until just now that it does stuff with brightness
[12:19] <Keybuk> so I'm now curious whether it's the cause of my bug that the Dell's light sensor doesn't seem to work anymore
[12:19] <lamont> slangasek: well, as long as it's done before fabbione wakes up in about 7 hours
[12:20] <lamont> I have it spewing debug crap on my laptop for me to stare at later
[12:21] <lamont> hrm... with g-p-m _NOT_ running, unplugging the AC still dims backlight... I think that's pretty conclusive that gpm is not to blame.
[12:21] <Keybuk> that's probably BIOS :)
[12:21] <Keybuk> unplug power, increase brightness, plug power back in
[12:21] <lamont> how do I increase brightness, I wonder...
[12:22] <Keybuk> Fn+Something? :P
[12:22] <pwnguin> lamont: maybe there's an option in BIOS to twiddle
[12:22] <Ng> something keeps resetting my brightness to 100%, which I'd assumed was g-p-m
[12:22] <Keybuk> hmm
[12:22] <Keybuk> gpm doesn't seem to be involved in brightness on my laptop at all
[12:22] <lamont> (switch to something other than vt7, and use FN brightness up)
[12:23] <pwnguin> theres gpm and the backend
[12:23] <mjg59> Keybuk: I suspect your Dell is one generation too old
[12:24] <Trewas> brightness is some kind of a strobo now that intel driver always sets it to maximum with anything interesting happening (any xvideo/opengl app starting, going to console etc) together with g-p-m or something munging it when idling :)
[12:24] <mjg59> Yeah, I've got a patch for that
[12:24] <Keybuk> mjg59: it's ICH7
[12:24] <mjg59> Keybuk: It's BIOS-dependent, not chipset dependent
[12:24] <Keybuk> could be then
[12:24] <Keybuk> though it's weird the sensor has stopped working
[12:25] <pwnguin> what defines idle for the g-p-m "dim display on idle" feature? cuz id really like to turn that higher =/
[12:29] <thully> pwnguin: I think idle is your screensaver idle setting
[12:29] <Keybuk> (I blame keithp :p)
[12:30] <thully> Regarding the g-p-m idle situation, it has really seemed quite ugly in 2.20 - I have seen brightness randomly increase in many places...
[12:30] <pwnguin> thully: it says 15 minutes
[12:30] <pwnguin> feels closer to 15 seconds
[12:31] <thully> pwnguin: I guess I was wrong, it's a gconf key
[12:32] <thully> gconf-editor, and then open apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight
[12:32] <pwnguin> hmm
[12:33] <pwnguin> 30 seconds
[12:33] <pwnguin> sounds about right. any documentation on what this dpms_method_foo does?
[12:33] <Keybuk> almost certainly in the schema
[12:33] <Keybuk> ("click on it")
[12:34] <pwnguin> well, it's "default"
[12:34] <pwnguin> =/
[12:34] <thully> Regarding the dim on battery despite this being disabled, I just found the problem in the code...
[12:34] <pwnguin> capitol work


[07:48] <dholbach> good morning
[10:22] <Tm_T> jose: nope, not yet, I wouldn't be surprised to not have it at all considering Finnish mail


[00:16] <jjjjjjooooooeeee> I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1555434 a short while ago, initially thinking it was a kernel bug.  Since isolating it to the 1.18 xserver package, there's been no activity.  Could someone on the X team take a look?
[01:43] <slavik81> Hey tjaalton. You helped me out a couple weeks ago. I just wanted to say thanks. I did manage to get things working on Ubuntu 14.04 by building from source, and I put together some instructions: https://gist.github.com/cgmb/7f5ee12c00af5c655235
[15:47] <ricotz> tjaalton, \o/ https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/skylake-guc-6.1
[16:56] <tjaalton> ricotz: is there working code for that? :)

[00:25] <h00k> Oi!
[00:25] <h00k> mikeputnam: wat
[00:26] <h00k> Another mailing-list snafu, brought to you by your fearless...whatever I am.
[04:37] <h00k> hello, e'ryone.
[04:37] <h00k> not entirely convinced anyone is here, but I figured I'd try
[04:37] <mikeputnam> ohai
[04:37] <mikeputnam> fine
[04:37] <h00k> zomg.
[04:37] <h00k> hello!
[04:37] <mikeputnam> greetings
[04:38] <h00k> I'm writing ruby.
[04:38] <h00k> I suck at it.
[04:38] <h00k> but I'm kinda having fun.
[04:39] <mikeputnam> i'm obsessing over node.js
[04:39] <h00k> I've seen those letters together before.
[04:39] <mikeputnam> same boat. sucks, but fun.
[04:40] <h00k> I tweeted earlier something along the lines of "As much as I may say I hate coding, it's totally a lie."
[04:40] <mikeputnam> and i saw that tweet
[04:40] <h00k> hah.
[04:40] <h00k> yeah.
[04:42] <h00k> Anyway. what's new with mikeputnam
[04:42] <mikeputnam> node.js
[04:42] <mikeputnam> ;)
[04:42] <mikeputnam> srsly
[04:43] <mikeputnam> h00k: are you on board with all this hackerspace business?
[04:43] <mikeputnam> sector67/milwaukeemakerspace/hackerspaces.org
[04:43] <h00k> No, but I should be.
[04:43] <mikeputnam> h00k: agreed.
[04:44] <mikeputnam> http://dhmn.net
[04:44] <mikeputnam> that's "us" ^^^
[04:44]  * h00k clicks
[04:44] <mikeputnam> where us is people generally in appleton/fox cities
[04:44]  * h00k resisters
[04:44]  * mikeputnam rejoices
[04:46] <mikeputnam> it's a whole separate world of geekyness
[04:46] <h00k> oh, look. Cool.
[04:47] <mikeputnam> many linuxers, but many other interesting stuffs too
[04:47] <h00k> related, my wedding-rsvp I'm working on with rubyonrails is on github
[04:47] <h00k> robotics. Sweet.
[04:49] <mikeputnam> can't find you on github
[04:49] <h00k> anthonyrhook
[04:49] <h00k> https://github.com/anthonyrhook/wedding-rsvp
[04:49] <h00k> specifically
[04:50] <h00k> for whatever reason, I decided anthonyrhook was too long for IRCland
[04:51] <h00k> I currently haveit hosted on heroku
[04:51] <mikeputnam> i've yet to dip my toes in the ruby-on-rails pool
[04:52] <h00k> pffff. yeah, frameworks are like a language-and-a-half by itself.
[04:52] <h00k> luckily, I have exigraff helping me along.
[04:53] <mikeputnam> ugh. this douglasawh guy on identi.ca is non-stop
[04:53] <mikeputnam> framerworks are unfortunate
[04:54] <h00k> too bad he doesn't see the highlight
[04:54] <h00k> they're both....beautiful and ugly.
[04:54] <mikeputnam> they insulate you from mundane stuff (if you already know the base lang) but if you don't know the base lang, you are less likely to learn it.
[04:55] <mikeputnam> you end up learning all the wacky nuances of the framework
[04:55] <mikeputnam> and usually end up confusing features of the base lang and the framework
[04:55] <mikeputnam> at least i have
[04:56] <h00k> :D
[04:57] <h00k> Yeah..it is funky.
[04:58] <mikeputnam> h00k: there's also good stuff re: dhmn on the mailing list
[04:59] <mikeputnam> and recently on irc.freenode too   #dhmn
[05:08] <h00k> schweet.
[21:09] <nickmoeck> Yes! Def Leppard is playing at Summerfest!


[21:48] <soee> iconmefisto: ok
[21:49] <iconmefisto> soee: maybe the plasma widgets don't know about that setting in 4.4RC and will eventually be updated?
[21:50] <soee> iconmefisto: do u have some eee... bug maybe? when iresizing some program widnow - a bit transparent blue area?
[21:51] <Daatr> i have ubuntu. i installed kubuntu, now i want uninstall it. how?
[21:51] <iconmefisto> window resizing seems fine here. in what window does this happen? all windows?
[21:52] <LostCause> sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[21:52] <LostCause> or you could just select a gnome seesion at the login window
[21:52] <LostCause> session
 tnx
[21:53] <ahsan> my kpackagekit is not working
[21:53] <iconmefisto> Daatr: that won't remove much at all. look here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[21:54] <Daatr> tnank you
[21:55] <Daatr> hm... sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[21:55] <soee> iconmefisto: yes all windows when im holding mouse button pressed and resizing
[21:55] <Daatr> Package kubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed
[21:55] <Daatr> but i still have kde session
[21:56] <ahsan> my software management kit is not working n i m not able to open hotmail  in konqueror
[21:58] <dthacker> Hi,  I'm trying to connect my printer to my Kubuntu system, but I'm unable to print a test page.
[21:58] <dthacker> The printer is communicating, but wants me to PC LOAD EXEC
[22:00] <soee> ok here is the tip how to crash program luncher: run pl using alt+f1, type some text and hold right arrow, it will crash, run it again and o the same, this time its dead for good :/
[22:00] <iconmefisto> Daatr: you have to remove the packages that the kubuntu-desktop meta-package installed. follow the link I posted ^^
[22:00] <soee> *alt+f2
[22:00] <Daatr> thank you! :)
[22:07] <Xnet0> Hello, I am having problems with the GRUB bootloader. Could anyone help?
[22:07] <soee> someone who is using vlc ?
[22:08] <iconmefisto> Xnet0, soee: details?
[22:08] <ahsan> plz  help me wid Kpackagelist
[22:09] <iconmefisto> ahsan: what's wrong?
[22:09] <soee> inclement: if i run vlc (doesnt matter if it plas something or not) there are some lags when i draw selection on desktop
[22:10] <Xnet0> iconmefistom, Error: 17 (which i know to be related to partition tables. After looking at the partitions on my hard drive, the Windows XP partition is black coloured and has a warning sign. The name is "unknown". I am unable to boot into both Liinux and Windows. Also, Linux cannot recognise the harddrive.)
[22:10] <Xnet0> I feel as if a major error has occured. I think I lost all of my stuff.
[22:12] <iconmefisto> Xnet0: karmic 9.10 ?
[22:12] <Xnet0> No, its actually 9.04, but the issue is with grub.. I cant seem to recover my files.
[22:13] <Xnet0> The Windows partition is unaccessable.
[22:13] <iconmefisto> Xnet0: so you haven't installed grub2, right?
[22:13] <iconmefisto> !grub
[22:14] <Xnet0> thx ill check it out
[22:15] <siegie> I can't transfer files from my phone with bluetooth, to my notebook. I must give an access code. Communication from my notebook to the phone works fine. Does anyone know the default code?
[22:18] <iconmefisto> soee: seems you have quite a few desktop-related quirks. maybe try creating a new user and see if it's still the same there. or rename ~/.kde/share/config to ~/.kde/share/config.backup and log out/in and see if there is any difference with new settings
[22:18] <soee> iconmefisto: ok ill try
[22:19] <iconmefisto> soee: if you do the renaming of config folder, to restore your old desktop settings you should rename config.backup when kde is NOT running, then log in
[22:22] <siegie> problem solved  Its 0000
[22:24] <Philyll> What was the command to remove the Linux partition?

[23:41] <newbie123abc> okular bug persists
[23:42] <Quintasan> newbie123abc: might being more precise? what bug and when? can you reproduce it?
[23:42] <newbie123abc> when a file is saved, okular refreshs at top of document
[23:42] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: ^
[23:42] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: lastest version that works is 4.3.4
[23:43] <Quintasan> newbie123abc: and you are running?
[23:43] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: 4.3.90
[23:43] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: kde's version
[23:43] <Quintasan> newbie123abc: well, check KDE bugzilla for it
[23:45] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: how could i force a version without kde-full bug me?
[23:45] <Quintasan> newbie123abc: wait, what? I somehow fail to follow your thought proccess
[23:46] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: i wold like to just install okular 4.3.4 n' lock at that version
[23:47] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: kde-full 4.3.90 pseudo-require okular 4.3.90
[23:48] <Quintasan> sudo apt-get install okular=<theversionyouwant>
[23:49] <newbie123abc> Quintasan: but, every time i want upgrade system, aptitude: or remove kde-full, or remove updates okular
[23:49] <newbie123abc> ", or updates okular"*
[23:49] <Quintasan> newbie123abc: hmm, beats me then :(
[23:57] <Shaun32> what's up
