[06:51] <Jordan_U> I forsee a trainwreck when Putragis finishes downloading the 10.04 iso and realizes that he has no easy way to make a bootable USB drive from it.
[06:54] <Jordan_U> People will recommend unetbootin, not realizing that he's working from an Ubuntu 5.10 LiveCD that surely can't run unetbootin, confusing him more... I wish I could prevent it.
[06:58] <jussi> Jordan_U: yeah, could be an issue.
[06:59]  * jussi scratches head trying to figure out how to fix that.
[07:01] <Jordan_U> He could dd Super GRUB2 Disk to the USB drive, since that would give him a modern grub that could boot an Ubuntu iso without requiring modern tools. But that would overwrite the partition table on the flash drive, which is probably where he's downloaded the Ubuntu iso.


[08:11] <arun> Hello all the Guys , I needed some help about the language
[08:13] <sasa84> hi arun
[08:13] <arun> sasa84: hello
[08:13] <arun> sasa84: I wanted to have a language get added , but how can I do that ???
[08:14] <sasa84> arun, for a list of available translation? let's say you want to have "german" also?
[08:15] <arun> sasa84: I am wanting a new language
[08:15] <arun> sasa84: to get added in my system
[08:15] <sasa84> to your system? not launchpad?
[08:15] <arun> sasa84: probably both
[08:16] <sasa84> arun, for your system...go to system settings
[08:16] <sasa84> you have ubuntu 13.10?
[08:16] <arun> sasa84: We have initiated the translation in Launchpad but need to add the language in the System too..
[08:17] <arun> sasa84: yes I have
[08:18] <sasa84> or open dash and type language or something ... and choose there another language
[08:18] <arun> sasa84: I have submitted the locale to the glibc
[08:19] <arun> sasa84: is it the step to be done to add a new language??
[08:19] <sasa84> ok... maybe there haven't been any updates from launchpad?
[08:20] <arun> sasa84: nope...
[08:20] <arun> sasa84: It is not in the Ubuntu repo of Launchpad
[08:21] <arun> sasa84: Let me make u clear about it ; I am a developer and I am wanting to add a new language in my Distro, of course it is Ubuntu based , and I wanted the language to get installed it in ; the language name is Chitwania Tharu code=the"
[08:24] <Noskcaj> details of the language are at http://www.ethnologue.com/language/the
[08:26] <arun> Noskcaj: yes thats it
[08:26] <arun> and it is also commited /added in the glibc
[08:27] <arun> sudo apt-get install git
[08:27] <arun> sorry
[08:27] <arun> https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=HEAD


[15:26] <charlie-tca> Good morning
[16:11] <charlie-tca> mr_pouit: do Mondays work for you for meetings?
[16:11] <davmor2> morning charlie-tca
[16:11] <charlie-tca> Good morning, davmor2
[16:12] <charlie-tca> Both desktop images are broken again today for Ubuntu and Xubuntu.
[18:55] <beardygnome> charlie-tca: are you in here?
[19:33] <knome> charlie-tca, are we having a meeting today?
[20:01] <charlie-tca> Made it back now
[20:24] <charlie-tca> knome: nope, seems not
[20:24] <knome> okay
[20:24] <charlie-tca> We need to look at monday meeting times, but it looks bad for times earlier than 21:00 UTC
[20:25] <charlie-tca> That seems late in europe, to me, at least
[20:25] <knome> that's not completely out of question for me, but i don't know about others
[20:26] <charlie-tca> yeah,
[20:26] <charlie-tca> Maybe look at holding the meeting in this channel instead.
[20:27] <knome> i think that might work a bit better
[20:28] <knome> this channel is quite quiet and we are not a *big* bunch of people whatsoever
[20:28] <charlie-tca> I am leaning towards that as a workable solution. Then we can have any time we need
[20:28] <knome> yes, maybe even impromptu (of course not for votes, but...)
[20:28] <charlie-tca> I can always request a meeting bot for here, too
[20:29] <knome> that's not a hard requirement though
[20:29] <charlie-tca> no, it just makes the minutes easier
[20:29] <knome> yeah, another way is just to write down the notes as we go
[20:29] <knome> which also would mean we would have it on the wiki right away
[20:30] <charlie-tca> The channel is logged, it just isn't as easy


[00:48] <ahz> Is the  'launchpad bugs'  section intended to be used for feature requests?
[02:59] <MTecknology> You guys.... how can I make a comment about a file in bazaar?
[03:24] <mrooney> Are there any plans to make launchpad more social and fun, does anyone know?
[03:24] <mrooney> Often I feel that I want some way to be more associated with someone on LP, like adding them as a friend or something similar
[03:25] <mrooney> Or, favorite people, or some way to remember and bookmark interesting people
[04:10] <MTecknology> mrooney: LP isn't a social networking site, it's a collaborative environment
[04:10] <MTecknology> mrooney: If you want to befriend someone, invite them to join you on facebook
[04:11] <mwhudson> launchpadspacebook!
[04:11] <mwhudson> if there was infinite time, adding some kind of social networking stuffs to launchpad might make sense
[04:12] <mwhudson> i think we have other priorities for the moment though...
[04:12] <MTecknology> mwhudson: I would hate that idea... so many people just sit like idiots on facebook and other crap like that. Sites like that also tend to become bloated really fast and then die off eventually.
[04:13] <mwhudson> well, it would never be the point
[04:13] <mwhudson> of launchpad
[04:13] <MTecknology> exactly
[04:13] <mwhudson> i'm certainly not going to discuss the pros and cons of facebook at al in general :)
[04:14] <MTecknology> :P
[04:14] <MTecknology> How does bzr karma get calculated?
[04:16] <mwhudson> can't remember :)
[04:16] <mwhudson> you get points for commits, code review activity, registering branches, etc
[04:18] <mrooney> MTecknology: I fail to see how collaboration isn't social :)
[04:18] <MTecknology> I just did a massive alteration to lp:scripting ; changed some code/comments ; rearranging things, removing some things, adding others
[04:19] <MTecknology> mrooney: facebook = "ZOMG! did you like see that new hair, i like almost died!" ; launchpad = "Yes, I'll get that patched tomorrow"
[04:19] <mrooney> Haha yeah, I definitely am not interested in all those aspects
[04:19] <mrooney> just some way to associate yourself with other users
[04:19] <MTecknology> teams
[04:20] <mrooney> no, not like that
[04:20] <mrooney> more like people bookmarks
[04:20] <MTecknology> I do wish it was possible for a team to have a simple discussion board, similar to a mailing list, but more like a forum
[04:20] <mrooney> I mean I could create a "people mrooney collaborates with" team
[04:20] <mrooney> but that is pretty silly
[04:20] <mrooney> I just want to bookmark other people in LP
[04:21] <mrooney> once LP is open-source I can make my own social branch :)
[04:21] <MTecknology> go to lp/~nick and Ctrl+D
[04:22] <MTecknology> teams are the best way to see who you collaborate with
[04:22] <MTecknology> better yet.....
[04:23] <mrooney> I really disagree with the teams, that works in the reverse of the way I want
[04:23] <mrooney> I want to do the associating not have the other person do it
[04:23] <MTecknology> lol
[04:23] <mrooney> it isn't really that important :) but I think you are missing what I want if you are suggesting teams
[04:23] <MTecknology> what you want is the "Add Friend" feature of facebook
[04:24] <mrooney> Ctrl+D is close
[04:24] <mrooney> perfectly fine for one computer
[04:24] <mrooney> but then you lose that on others
[04:24] <MTecknology> foxmarks
[04:24] <mrooney> you really want to find any way to demonstrate this feature isn't necessary don't you haha?
[04:25] <MTecknology> ;)
[04:25] <mrooney> useful, would be a more accurate word, I suppose
[04:25] <MTecknology> I'll go with that :)
[04:26] <MTecknology> mrooney: I'm not in charge of LP in any way whatsoever, if you really think it should exist, you can add it as a feature request of LP
[04:26] <mrooney> I was just more curious to see if it was in the works
[04:26] <MTecknology> I just realized almost all of my karma is comng from answers right now
[04:26] <MTecknology> I doubt it very much
[04:39] <damijit> Can anyone give me a ballpark on when staging might be back up? (i.e., will it be hours or days?)
[05:02] <emet> MTecknology: sup man
[05:03] <emet> you need to fix your e-mail addy on lp:scripting
[05:03] <emet> you are getting no karma for any of your contribs
[05:03] <MTecknology> what!?
[05:03] <MTecknology> :'(
[05:03] <MTecknology> what's wrong with it?
[05:03] <emet> It has to be Full Name <email>
[05:03] <emet> you have Full Name email
[05:04] <MTecknology> Where do I fix that?
[05:04] <emet> bzr whomai
[05:04] <emet> bzr whomai <stuff to add>
[05:05] <MTecknology> so... I won't get karma for any of that :(
[05:05] <emet> lol I don't know you can like undo and redo or something
[05:06] <emet> I got shafted a few times too
[05:06] <emet> you can always add more scripts :D
[05:06] <MTecknology> ya, but I just made a crap load of changes
[05:06] <MTecknology> it'll be a while before I have anything worth adding again
[05:06] <emet> you can uncommit in bzr
[05:07] <emet> I have no idea how it works exactly
[05:07] <MTecknology> really?
[05:07] <emet> I am a bzr newb pretty much
[05:07] <emet> "bzr uncommit"
[05:07] <emet> ?
[05:08] <MTecknology> that explains a lot though
[05:08] <MTecknology> I wasn't getting karma for my other branches either
[05:08] <emet> yeah I got shafted for awhile too
[05:09] <emet> anyway karma goes down on it's own
[05:09] <MTecknology> if I uncommit, I wonder if I need to redo all my changes
[05:09] <emet> I got your last changeset anyway saved
[05:10] <emet> (I'm also a member of ~scripters)
[05:10] <MTecknology> I figured
[05:11] <emet> https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jbenjos/scripting/doit
[05:11] <emet> small side project I am working on
[05:12] <emet> I forked lp:apturl
[05:13] <emet> like on the ubuntu forums people have a lot of similar problems
[05:13] <emet> so I figure it would be cool if you could be like click here: doit://install-restricted
[05:13] <emet> and it'll do it for them
[05:14] <MTecknology> it's not letting me revert all that junk :P
[05:14] <emet> heh
[05:14] <MTecknology> bzr: ERROR: These branches have diverged.   I'll probably lose a whole lot of karma over it, but at least this way I'll get some
[05:24] <emet> lol
[05:24] <MTecknology> maybe 5 instead of 50
[05:25] <MTecknology> emet: look better? :)
[05:26] <emet> looks good
[05:27] <MTecknology> How long does it take to see how much karma I get for it?
[05:28] <Ursinha> MTecknology, the day next, I guess
[05:29] <MTecknology> Ursinha: Is there any way to get credit for the stuff that I committed wrong? or is that all gone and buh bye?
[05:30] <Ursinha> MTecknology, I really don't know in which moment the points for karma are calculated :/
[05:30] <Ursinha> I'll ask the guys
[05:30] <ziroday> Hi, I'm trying to get launchpad to recognize my gpg key
[05:31] <Ursinha> or you can file a question on answers
[05:31] <ziroday> and I've uploaded it to keyserver.ubuntu.com however it claims it doesn't exist. Any ideas on what I've done wrong?
[05:35] <ziroday> nevermind, smacking the keyboard repeatedly seems to have done something right
[06:03] <MTecknology> I'm getting this error when I try to delete a branch - (Error ID: OOPS-1135EC275)
[06:20] <MTecknology> WHY can't I delete this branch!? I remove it's association with everything else
[06:22] <MTecknology> Could someone please remove this branch for me? https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mtecknology/loco-drupal/drupal-6.x
[06:22] <MTecknology> I think it's pretty easy to see that's exactly what I'm trying to do, just no success.
[06:23] <MTecknology> I think part of it is because I can't figure out how to remove a release series
[06:25] <MTecknology> I want to get rid of this too - https://code.edge.launchpad.net/loco-drupal/drupal-6.x
[06:31] <MTecknology> Is anybody around that can offer some help?
[06:40] <mwhudson> MTecknology: what happens when you try to delete that branch?
[06:40] <mwhudson> you need an admin's help to remove a series, irritatingly
[06:41] <mwhudson> MTecknology: file a question on the launchpad project to get their attention
[06:41] <MTecknology> mwhudson: heh - you are an admin, aren't you?
[06:41] <mwhudson> MTecknology: nope, just a dev
[06:41] <MTecknology> oh, just looked at hostmask
[06:41] <MTecknology> (Error ID: OOPS-1135EC305)
[06:42] <MTecknology> That happens when I try to delete my branch
[06:42] <MTecknology> but it was associated with that series, so perhaps that needs to be deleted first??
[06:46] <MTecknology> emet: I'm getting addicted to cleaning up bzr crap on lp :P
[06:46] <emet> lol
[06:49] <MTecknology> I need to write up a quote for creating a website in the next 10 min too :P

[08:35] <Odd_Bloke> How do I subscribe to all the bug reports for a given project?
[09:47] <lamothe> Odd_Bloke: No expert here, but I am Australian ... so we speak the same language.  Go to the bugs page and click the "Advanced Search"
[09:48] <lamothe> Odd_Bloke: On the left, there's a "Subscribe to bug mail" button.
[09:48] <lamothe> Ummm you're other left ;)
[09:49] <lamothe> Ummm "your" ... I'm such a idiot.
[09:49] <lamothe> Umm "an" ;)
[09:49] <lamothe> Oh I give up.
[09:50] <Odd_Bloke> lamothe: Thanks. :)
[10:52] <trmanco> how long does it take to get approved in the launchpad beta testers team?
[10:56] <mwhudson> trmanco: not long, but usually until a work day
[10:56] <trmanco> ok
[13:23] <ToyKeeper> Hmm, maybe it's not a great idea to display the location of every person on a team with 3000 members.
[13:23] <ToyKeeper> It makes firefox really slow...

[16:50] <vadi2> Hi - is it possible for someone to look into a broken ppa? A project was renamed, but the ppa not, so lp is lying to users about the proper sources.list lines and they're getting 404's
[16:51] <savvas> vadi2: which project? you might have more luck if you send a question at http://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad
[16:52] <vadi2> shutter. renaming the project took 3 days, so thats why I asked here
[16:52] <vadi2> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/59124 is the question
[16:58] <savvas> vadi2: if I were you I would contact the person directly: https://launchpad.net/~spm/+contactuser - you should say something like "project in launchpad gscrot and its related launchpad teams were renamed to shutter, but you forgot about the PPA - http://ppa.launchpad.net/gscrot/ppa/ubuntu should be http://ppa.launchpad.net/shutter/ppa/ubuntu"
[17:00] <savvas> vadi2: be sure to include a link to your question/answers
[17:02] <savvas> vadi2: They're on IRC :) A bit idle but worth the try! -- spm: could you rename http://ppa.launchpad.net/gscrot/ppa/ubuntu to http://ppa.launchpad.net/shutter/ppa/ubuntu ? Related to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/59124
[17:04] <vadi2> hehe ok
[17:49] <MTecknology> any admins around?
[17:50] <MTecknology> I only need three things. One is probably a "can't do it" one is a an admin only thing, and one is an error related to it...
[17:52] <MTecknology> First off, I really need this deleted (https://code.launchpad.net/~mtecknology/+junk/drupal-6.x) but I get the error
[17:52] <MTecknology> (Error ID: OOPS-1135EA930)
[17:53] <MTecknology> That's probably related to my need to drop a series that was attached to is (https://code.edge.launchpad.net/loco-drupal/drupal-6.x). I need this deleted but I know only and admin can do it.
[17:54] <bebraw> MTecknology, you could try posting your question directly to https://answers.launchpad.net/ . i had a tiny problem and got it sorted out that way :)
[17:54] <MTecknology> The last issue is that I made a crap load of commits to a project and got 0 karma for it because my bzr whoami was wrong. It was Name Email instead of Name <Email>. I was hoping there would be some way I could get karma back for it.
[17:55] <MTecknology> https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/60283
[18:01] <savvas> MTecknology: https://code.launchpad.net/~mtecknology/+junk/drupal-6.x/+delete doesn't work?
[18:05] <MTecknology> savvas: no, I get the OOPS when I do that
[18:05] <MTecknology> I also have this question for my karma now too - https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/60340
[18:05] <savvas> MTecknology: are you on the edge server?
[18:06] <MTecknology> ya
[18:06] <MTecknology> oh...
[18:06] <savvas> MTecknology: try disable it: https://launchpad.net/
[18:06] <MTecknology> how can I disable redirect?
[18:06] <savvas> there's a big shiny button in the center on that site :)
[18:07] <MTecknology> lol ... I forgot I can't go to edge.lp.net
[18:08] <savvas> and then try again, hopefully it will work
[18:09] <savvas> MTecknology: did the original owner, the person that registered it, try to delete it before it passed it to you to be the owner?
[18:09] <savvas> *they passed it
[18:09] <MTecknology> no
[18:09] <MTecknology> (Error ID: OOPS-1135E1916)
[18:10] <savvas> hm..
[18:10] <savvas> try reverting the owner back to David
[18:10] <MTecknology> have him delete it?
[18:10] <savvas> worth a try :)
[18:12] <savvas> if this doesn't work as well, I would file a bug about it, mention that you tested it on edge Launchpad 2.2.1 (r7723) and on normal (not edge) site
[18:12] <savvas> To make it a bit easier: http://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+filebug :)
[18:12] <MTecknology> I already have a bug about it
[18:13] <MTecknology> second to last link I posted
[18:13] <MTecknology> savvas: can I make just him the owner?
[18:13] <MTecknology> or do I have to make a team we're both in the owner?
[18:14] <savvas> MTecknology: well I would try setting back the original person who registered it
[18:14] <MTecknology> I can't
[18:14] <savvas> maybe some permissions weren't changed/moved properly
[18:15] <MTecknology> oh, you said bug, not question...
[18:15] <savvas> yes, I think a bug is more appropriate in your case
[18:15] <savvas> be sure to mention the two oops'es :P
[18:16] <savvas> Error ID: OOPS-1135E1916 and Error ID: OOPS-1135EA930
[18:33] <MTecknology> so - two questions out there that may or may not ever be answered until some mighty admin comes along that knows everything in the world who whill humble me in his greatness....
[18:33] <MTecknology> Yes, I'm trying to butter ya'll up. ;)
[18:48] <MTecknology> Well - I need to take off, please take a look at these two things for me please... - https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/60283 - https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/60340
[19:49] <mwhudson> MTecknology: yeah, that non-deletion thing is definitely a bug
[19:54] <mwhudson> MTecknology: have you filed it yet?
[19:54] <MTecknology> only as a question, I'll convert
[19:54] <MTecknology> Not now though, way too tired
[19:54] <MTecknology> sometime today thoguh
[19:55] <mwhudson> thanks
[19:55] <MTecknology> yup
[19:55] <MTecknology> apparently I'm going to lose a few hundred karma points too :'(
[19:56] <MTecknology> I guess I'll just need to make a whole lot of bogus changes and little trivial things to make it feel like I'm getting 5 hours worth of karma loss back.
[19:57] <MTecknology> Anyway, it's off to bed
[21:50] <mulima> hi
[21:51] <mulima> i opened a ppa today and it is active
[21:51] <mulima> i also uploaded successfully some debs with dput
[21:51] <mulima> but i reach a 404 on my launchpad url ...
[21:52] <mulima> is there a sort of delay between upload and "live" debs on my ppa ?.
[21:58] <thumper> mulima: I thought that you uploaded code and they got built
[21:58] <thumper> mulima: and the delay was in the building of them
[21:59] <mulima> well in fact i juste realized that i uploaded binary debs .. i should not have done that ... only source packages
[23:57] <mrooney> Is this perhaps out of date? https://help.launchpad.net/API
