[06:44] <GHost__> hello
[06:45] <ivoks> hi
[06:46] <GHost__> i need to install an ubuntu-server to my parallels virtual machine
[06:46] <GHost__> but after the boot it cannot find the cddrive
[06:47] <GHost__> it's a normal intel chipset emulation
[06:47] <GHost__> any idea?
[06:47] <ivoks> i've never used parallels
[06:47] <ivoks> on KVM it works without problems
[06:47] <GHost__> i think it's libata
[06:48] <GHost__> the normal cdimage works grate
[06:48] <GHost__> is there any diff in the kernel on the server and the desktop image?
[06:49] <ivoks> it's minimal
[06:49] <ivoks> different scheduler and no preempt on server
[06:49] <GHost__> hmm
[06:50] <ivoks> it has some of other changes, but those two are only relevant
[06:50] <GHost__> not in this case
[06:50] <GHost__> i think
[06:51] <ivoks> so, -desktop-6.06 works ok, and -server-6.06 not?
[06:51] <GHost__> nop its 704
[06:51] <ivoks> 7.04?
[06:51] <ivoks> that's not released yet :)
[06:52] <ivoks> if you found a bug, report it
[06:52] <GHost__> feisty-server-i386.iso
[06:52] <GHost__> i know
[06:52] <GHost__> if i found it i will
[06:52] <GHost__> but first i need to find it
[06:56] <GHost__> i have only an sda device
[06:56] <GHost__> and sg0


[09:39] <DuckGod> when i install my jaunty on my pc it installs all the way then when i reboot to the new system it gives me the message "existing intel boot agent" how do i bypass that
[12:55] <less1> Hi, anyone around?


[00:33] <sircolin> can someone help me with nuvexport, everything is disabled in lucid 64, do i need to recompile it ?
[00:35] <tgm4883> sircolin, nuvexport isn't supported anymore. Check out mythexport and see if it fulfills your needs
[00:37] <sircolin> ok thanks, i though something was going there, since my upgrade i guess i may as well remove it then i will have a read up now thanks.
[00:44] <dododoo> hey guys
[00:44] <tgm4883> !hi
[00:44] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about hi
[00:45] <dododoo> I have been running mythbuntu for a while, in the upgrade to 10.4, it broke apache2 is there an easy way to uninstall apache, php, etc and use like mythweb to reinstall and setup everything properly?
[00:46] <dododoo> apache2 wont start
[00:46] <dododoo> Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
[00:47] <dododoo> not sure what that means
[00:48] <tgm4883> dododoo, odd. you could apt-get remove mythweb, apache2, php, then reinstall mythweb
[00:48] <tgm4883> or
[00:48] <tgm4883> you could try just doing a dpkg-reconfigure apache2
[00:48] <tgm4883> and maybe a dpkg-reconfigure mythweb
[00:48] <dododoo> okay...I'll give it a shot
[00:54] <dododoo> weird, I tried it both ways...first way last
[00:54] <dododoo> it gave me at the end of installing mythweb: Setting up mythweb (0.23.0+fixes24104-0ubuntu2) ...
[00:54] <dododoo> Your apache2 configuration is broken, so we're not restarting it for you.
[00:55] <dododoo> i tried a sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2  :(
[01:03] <dododoo> fixed it
[01:03] <dododoo> ;)
[01:25] <[R]> so the mythbuntu patches to myth removed the ability to use a shutdown command... yet my default mythbunut install is failing with all the dbus methods
[03:08] <puff> Does this look like a mythbuntu-supported card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131325
[03:08] <Zinn> [www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - POWERCOLOR AP4350 512MD2-H Radeon HD 4350 512MB 64-bit DDR2 PCI HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
[03:09] <puff> It's the only one I've found that's PCI and has HDMI-out.
[03:29] <mrand> puff: I wouldn't personally pay that much for a PCI card, especially an ATI.
[03:32] <mrand> Of course, I'd probably be shopping on ebay, where used cards are available.
[11:45] <Fudge> hi, wondering if anyone here  maybe who has myth in a vm is willing to run a script which transforms a ubuntu to vinux which is a fork of ubuntu that is modified for visually impaired. Id like to know if it will work on mythbuntu so I can setup a pvr
[13:05] <Daviey> Fudge: Why not just try it? :)
[13:05] <Fudge> hard to install
[13:05] <Fudge> cant see the screen
[13:06] <mrand> Fudge: Mythbuntu's fonts too small?
[13:09] <mrand> Fudge, rather than converting Mythbuntu to vinux, I'd be tempted to add the mythtv packages to vinux.
[13:16] <Fudge> no fact i have like 3% eyesight
[13:16] <Fudge> good idea ill look at converting one
[13:17] <Fudge> it would be nice for the blind to have an accessible myth system to be able to fallback to cli if needed
[13:26] <mrand> Fudge: since MythTV is fully themeable, if the existing themes are not acceptable, someone could modify one or more of them.  If someone does that, it would be good to submit it back upstream to the Mythtv project (unknown if they'd accept it, but it should at least be submitted there so that it has a chance of being kept up-to-date).
[13:27] <Fudge> its more if orca works with myth I think, but I see what you mean about the visual themes too
[13:36] <mrand> Fudge: Ah!  I was thinking about something that could be used with a remote control (i.e., without a mouse).  But that may only make sense if there is some distance between the veiwer and the tv screen.
[13:39] <Fudge> you can open orca by typing orca into the run box, see if it speaks when the remote is selecting stuff?
[13:42] <mrand> Fudge: booting my test system... let's see here.
[13:46] <Fudge> sweet
[13:50] <mrand> Fudge: Does orca work with x.f.c.e.?  Doesn't seem to do much on this system.  Hold while I reboot into gnome.
[13:55] <Fudge> oh no it doesnt out of the box
[13:55] <Fudge> i believe some ppl can make some stuff work but not desktop icons but its with mods
[13:55] <Fudge> same with lxde knoppix made that very accessible but otherwise a normal lxde desktop orca will hardly speak
[13:56] <Fudge> sry mate in other windows highlight me :)
[14:00] <mrand> Fudge: no problem.  Oh neat.... Orca is cool... reads everything and even tells you which window is active.  Unfortunately it doesn't work with Myth menu's.  Off hand, do you know what it would take for an application to support Orca?  I also tried  the Ubuntu accessability thing at login, but it appears to do absolutely nothing.
[14:00] <Fudge> is it gtk?
[14:01] <mrand> Fudge: Um, no, I don't think so.
[14:01] <Fudge> i think qt4 apps arent to friendly but gtk is suppose to be
[14:01] <mrand> It uses QT mostly
[14:01] <Fudge> dont know to much about the tech stuff about it
[14:01] <Fudge> well maybe when gnome3 come sout it will be accessible
[14:02] <mrand> This is definintely a QT4 ap
[14:02] <mrand> That's in 10.10, right?
[14:02] <Fudge> yeah i think it is actually
[14:02] <Fudge> read somewhere september so that sounds bout right
[14:02] <mrand> Fudge: They are shooting for Oct 10, 2010
[14:02]  * mrand ponders installing alpha 1
[14:03] <Fudge> hopefully the myth team  dev test it with orca anyway, im guessing they would already
[14:03] <Fudge> ooh alphas are fun
[14:03] <Fudge> if i could actually see to isntall stuff and play id have so much fun
[14:03] <mrand> Fudge: the myth team is very overloaded, so unfortunately I would expect they don't.
[14:05] <mrand> Fudge: found a post on the Orca mailing list that they are hoping for QT support in gnome3
[14:05] <Fudge> yep thats right
[14:06] <mrand> Fudge: I guess orca doesn't work well in a virtual machine?
[14:06] <Fudge> it should do
[14:06] <Fudge> doesnt put much loads on really but if youre getting glitchy sound its more likely the sound daemon
[14:07] <Fudge> vinux is running system wide pulseaudio and lots of other tweaks and mods
[14:07] <Fudge> grab one of the isos and myth it :D
[14:07] <mrand> You could always install the alpha 1 in a VM.
[14:07] <Fudge> comes back to answering the install questions though
[14:08] <Fudge> id be very willing to do it if i could install it but sometiems it means asking someoen fo rhelp and then if they are computer savi enough to understand etc etc
[14:08] <Fudge> or if there are vbox images available with it installed well there thatd be great too
[14:09] <mrand> Fudge: I wonder if vinux has a 10.10 alpha build.
[14:11] <mrand> Not that I can find.
[14:11] <Fudge> no not yet mate we sut released lucid
[14:12] <Fudge> 3alphas and 6rcs
[14:12] <Fudge> ltos of bugs to iron out
[14:12] <Fudge> coem from upstream
[14:12] <Fudge> but its all abotu trying to put out somethign decent
[14:14] <mrand> Fudge: I can imagine the challenge.
[14:15] <Fudge> but it pays off though mate
[14:15] <Fudge> i was a windows/freebsd user before vinux and now im soully ubuntu vinux
[14:15] <Fudge> all my systems in the house are vinux even my imac
[14:15] <Fudge> so glad to get something that everyone expects and takes for granted and thats the console
[14:17] <mrand> oops, my daughter just woke up, so lost my test system for now.
[14:17] <mrand> Fudge: you sound capable enough, you should have someone help you get a second install going in a VM so that you can experiment.  I would imagine it could be scripted even.
[14:18] <Fudge> i think i migth  mate, my first object is to get windows xp up in one so i can continue my mirc with speech scritp development and nlite images i make
[14:21] <Fudge> thankyou cobber
[14:22] <mrand> hmmm... not aware of the "cobber" term
[14:22] <mrand> cobber (n): Austral and NZ informal a friend; mate: used as a term of address to males
[14:23] <mrand> Fudge: you're welcome ;-)
[14:23] <mrand> Daviey:  you're a cobber!

[11:57] <BjornT> stub: this patch fixes the problem: https://chinstrap.ubuntu.com/~dsilvers/paste/filegGzqHt.html
[11:58] <BjornT> stub: do you want me to merge it into rocketfuel, or will you apply it locally? if you apply it locally, i'll add a test before submitting it to rf.
[11:59] <stub> Merge it to rocketfuel
[11:59] <BjornT> ok
[12:10] <BjornT> stub: is pqm up and running?
[12:12] <jordi> carlos: don't get rid of them just yet. Let me see if something has changed
[12:21] <stub> BjornT: looks like i
[12:22] <stub> t
[12:22] <BjornT> yeah, the email just took longer than usual to arrive to pqm.
[12:37] <dilys> Merge to devel/launchpad/: [trivial]  stop send-bug-notifications from breaking when people without preferred email addresses add a comment. (r3405: Bjorn Tillenius)
[12:38] <carlos> jordi: ok
[12:39] <BjornT> stub: can you cherry pick r3405 now?
[01:36] <BjornT> lifeless: ping
[01:36] <jamesh> thunderbird on dapper seems to crash a fair bit :(

[02:03] <kiko> message me if so
[02:03] <kiko> next meeting: thursday next week?
[02:03] <kiko> anyone against it?
[02:03] <kiko> fine.
[02:03] <carlos> kiko: next thursday is a public holiday in Spain
[02:04] <kiko> I see.
[02:04] <ddaa> I'd like to discuss user support process.
[02:04] <carlos> kiko: I'm don't think I will be able to attend
[02:04] <kiko> okay ddaa
[02:04] <mpt> Wednesday again?
[02:04] <ddaa> who, what, where, when...
[02:04] <kiko> do more people prefer wednesday over thursday?
[02:05] <kiko> it appears not
[02:05] <kiko> so carlos will be absent -- send in your 3 sentences to me through email beforehand
[02:05] <kiko> we'll do it on thursday as usual
[02:05] <kiko> let's do the final bookkeeping item
[02:05] <kiko> activity reports
[02:05] <kiko> and I'll start by saying that YOU SUCK
[02:05] <spiv> I'm up to date.
[02:06] <kiko> apart from a minority
[02:06] <matsubara> up to date
[02:06] <kiko> you've been either not sending reports or batching them and sending them before the meeting
[02:06] <spiv> (after the usual quick catch up...)
[02:06] <ddaa> think I'm up to date, except for a dud report for the sprint (not sure that is needed, though)
[02:06] <kiko> that's really not helpful
[02:06] <mpt> up to date
[02:06] <BjornT> i'm up to date
[02:07] <kiko> spiv, BjornT, carlos and mpt have sent in multiple reports today -- can you guys please send them in daily?
[02:07] <kiko> I've asked spiv and carlos to do this before
[02:07] <kiko> and you have failed!
[02:07] <kiko> please don't batch your reports
[02:07] <BjornT> kiko: i sent two today, that's almost daily
[02:08] <kiko> it makes it impossible to make my daily charts
[02:08] <kiko> BjornT, almost is almost good. :)
[02:08] <BjornT> i'll make an effort to send once a day though
[02:09] <kiko> jamesh, dude, when are you going to get in the groove?
[02:09] <kiko> all right, moving on
[02:10] <kiko> mpt, jamesh, spiv, carlos: you guys are on my little black list, so shape up.
[02:10] <kiko> I can't even remember if there were items from the last meeting
[02:10] <kiko> so moving on, yet again
[02:10] <carlos> kiko: sorry...
[02:11] <kiko> I'd like to sneak in a topic here
[02:11] <kiko> and that is the performance reviews that are starting this week
[02:11] <kiko> does anyone have any questions or comments on the performance review process?
[02:11] <kiko> matt and I reviewed the questions and the current questionnaire is shorter and hopefully less ambiguous
[02:12] <ddaa> greate
[02:12] <kiko> did anyone have issues with use of the system or understanding of the report last time?
[02:12] <ddaa> old one was too long to go over with the manager, and some question were quite ambiguous
[02:12] <kiko> yeah, I felt the same. the new one has 4 sections only
[02:13] <kiko> (or at least that's what we submitted to jane ;)
[02:13] <kiko> all right, I'll assume you have no questions on this topic.
[02:13] <kiko> spiv, can you please give stub a ring?
[02:14] <kiko> all right, moving on.
[02:14] <spiv> kiko: he's in another country, but ok...
[02:14] <kiko> spiv, he's in another country from me as well, ftr.
[02:14] <kiko> Launchpad oops milestones
[02:14] <kiko> how are we looking on that front matsubara?
[02:15] <matsubara> I think we're doing a good job. the exceptions beign nailed down
[02:15] <kiko> are there any new crashers or timeouts in yesterday's report?
[02:15] <matsubara> i have to take a look on daf's scripts and set them up to generate those reports
[02:15] <kiko> what do you think are the most important crashers that need to be fixed?
[02:16] <kiko> and who needs to be working on them (apart from you!)
[02:16] <matsubara> ascii password enconding
[02:16] <stub> Yo
[02:16] <kiko> yeah, you're right.
[02:16] <kiko> hey stub
[02:16] <stub> Topic said Thursday
[02:16] <matsubara> and the one that validates fields in the advanced bug search form
[02:17] <BjornT> stub: can you please cherry pick r3405 now?
[02:17] <matsubara> but that one is already in the review queue and I'm coordinating with bjornt
[02:17] <kiko> matsubara, so about the password one -- what's blocking it, who can help?
[02:18] <matsubara> it's assigned to me, I'll take a look on it as soon as I finish the other things you said me to do. :)
[02:18] <kiko> I remember steve reviewed it -- anything complicated?
[02:19] <matsubara> I don't think so.
[02:19] <kiko> anyway, you're too slow
[02:19] <kiko> moving on
[02:19] <kiko> well, one note on that topic actually
[02:19] <kiko> I'll work on the remaining timeouts this week
[02:19] <kiko> it shouldn't be hard to fix them, but I may need to make some user-visible changes
[02:19] <kiko> and carlos, it will soon be time to look at +translate performance again.
[02:19] <kiko> so moving on -- stub, how's production looking?
[02:20] <stub> Fine
[02:20] <stub> :-)
[02:20] <carlos> kiko: ok
[02:20] <kiko> stub, will we be doing rollouts next week?
[02:20] <kiko> is there anything in scripts broken?
[02:20] <stub> Nothing thrilling to report. I've gotten a few cherry pick requests already, which is worrying. I'll need to confirm with people if these are actually urgent urgent or just urgent.
[02:21] <kiko> BjornT, I find r3405 very confusing, to be honest
[02:21] <stub> I think all scripts are all fine. support email is still blocked on rt last I heard though
[02:21] <kiko> BjornT, a person without a preferred email address doesn't add comments, afaiui -- salgado?
[02:21] <kiko> stub, yeah, I've been nagging about RT requests this week, but it's going slow
[02:22] <BjornT> kiko: he can do it via the email ui, i'll fix that one later (bug 38162)
[02:22] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 38162 in launchpad "People without preferred email addresses shouldn't be able to use the email interface" [Normal,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/38162
[02:22] <stub> bug notifications exception on staging is now fixed (it failed today due to postgresql auth paranoia, but worked manually after the fix)
[02:22] <kiko> BjornT, yuck
[02:22] <kiko> stub, that's great
[02:22] <kiko> I believe Znarl managed to deal with the moin mail redirector for BjornT at least -- have you confirmed BjornT?
[02:23] <BjornT> kiko: yes. it still doesn't work though, since the address the notifications are sent from isn't registered in launchpad. i'm working on it now though.
[02:24] <kiko> all right
[02:24] <kiko> let's move on, then.
[02:24] <kiko> ddaa, user support process
[02:24] <ddaa> Some guy talked on launchpad-users
[02:24] <kiko> so david yesterday asked about the support requests for Launchpad
[02:24] <stub> Now there is a push to do rollouts of updates to the db, appservers, authserver, publishing systems and some bzr systems by me, I'll need to invest time automating rollout procedures. I'll be running ideas past lifeless when I get onto this.
[02:25] <ddaa> asking where to ask for deleting dud objects (or moving them out the way), and I seriously did not though that the ticket tracker was the place to send him, as I had seen no evidence of requests there being processed
[02:25] <kiko> stub, that's true, because we have a large number of systems that need rolling out now, and it would make sense to do it in a concerted way
[02:25] <kiko> ddaa, I see.
[02:25] <stub> Yup. Getting too many to do manually and reliably
[02:26] <stub> I think support requests are actuall being dealt with, but I see a lot of requests with answers that are still in open status (I was looking at them today)
[02:26] <mpt> I nearly pointed someone at the Ubuntu support tracker a couple of days ago, but then I looked at the page and it was a mile long, so decided not to
[02:26] <ddaa> stub++ to ending this coordination nightmare
[02:26] <matsubara> as a side note, there's a Launchpad QA team which is receiving all the support request for the Launchpad Project products.
[02:26] <kiko> ddaa, matsubara: how many requests do we have open, and what is the rate of new requests?
[02:27] <stub> matsubara: This a new team?
[02:27] <matsubara> kiko: there's not so many new requests, but the problem is I can't close the ones that are bogus
[02:27] <ddaa> did not see any ticket spam since I was subscribed
[02:27] <matsubara> stub: yes
[02:27] <matsubara> as matter of fact, I can't close any support request
[02:27] <stub> I have power to reject support requests - is that an admin only feature?
[02:28] <kiko> matsubara, okay, remind me to look into it with you today
[02:28] <kiko> I do too, so hmmm, maybe
[02:28] <matsubara> stub: I think so
[02:28] <BjornT> stub: yes. we should think of how to give that possibility to other people as well though.
[02:28] <matsubara> I reported some bugs on the support tracker in the last days as well.
[02:28] <kiko> definitely
[02:29] <stub> ok. I'd suggest a support-admins team celebrity which will work until we work out a better way of determining who has rights.
[02:29] <ddaa> bottom line, is it ready to send our beloved users there, or does it need to mature some more?
[02:29] <kiko> why not component owners?
[02:29] <stub> sure
[02:30] <kiko> ddaa, I believe it's ready, and we should improve it if not
[02:30] <ddaa> if not, we should not send our users there, there's already enough traffic for use to figure out what to improve
[02:30] <kiko> I mean, it will only really improve if we get people using and complaining about it
[02:31] <ddaa> already have that
[02:31] <kiko> the fact that there were no contacts registered was indeed a showstopper
[02:31] <matsubara> is there any way to subscribe the launchpad-qa team to all open support requests?
[02:31] <kiko> but I don't think there are other major ones and we can start tackling them.
[02:31] <kiko> matsubara, not easily.
[02:32] <stub> matsubara: bulk subscriptions are done manually by me
[02:32] <ddaa> i.e. ask stub to run throw some SQL chicken bones :)
[02:32] <carlos> kiko: DBA "bitch"?
[02:32] <kiko> ddaa, so, are you happy with directing users to the support tracker?
[02:32] <kiko> (I say do it!)
[02:32] <matsubara> that would help keep track of the previously open tickets.
[02:33] <kiko> matsubara, we just need to go in and close them out.
[02:33] <kiko> matsubara, how many are there open?
[02:33] <ddaa> kiko: okay, let's try it
[02:33] <kiko> cool
[02:33] <kiko> thanks
[02:34] <jamesh> kiko: I think he was suggesting making sure launchpad-qa is subscribed to all existing tickets
[02:34] <jamesh> (open and closed)
[02:34] <jamesh> not about clearing out the queue)
[02:34] <kiko> jamesh, I know, but if there aren't too many, then it might be worth just clearing the queue.
[02:34] <jamesh> the open queue does need some cleaning, yes.
[02:35] <matsubara> kiko: there're a lot open, because I can't close them
[02:35] <matsubara> most of them are bogus "I want free ubuntu cds" or "I can't register in launchpad"
[02:36] <kiko> should be easy to close out then. :)
[02:36] <kiko> all right, moving on
[02:36] <matsubara> kiko: what I can do is reject them, but that might be to harsh
[02:36] <kiko> matsubara, just reply to them, and reject if no answer in N days?
[02:36] <kiko> salgado would like to talk about using mawson to test the new mirror management prober script.
[02:36] <kiko> salgado?
[02:36] <matsubara> kiko: that's what I'm doing already
[02:36] <salgado> I need to know if anybody is using mawson right now
[02:37] <salgado> I need to do a code/database update on it
[02:37] <salgado> so I can get the mirror prober running there
[02:37] <stub> cprov was the only person using it afaik
[02:37] <ddaa> jamesh: if you make something idiot-proof, nature will make a better idiot
[02:37] <kiko> yeah, that's the truth
[02:37] <mpt> jamesh, maybe they keep getting "that ID is already taken" errors ;-)
[02:38] <salgado> and this one to stub: should I use the steps described in LaunchpadRollout to update the code/database in mawson?
[02:38] <stub> So I don't see a problem with updating dogfood code and the database. You want to give it a go salgado or need me to?
[02:38] <stub> salgado: pretty much. dogfood is a bit more ad-hoc.
[02:38] <ddaa> mpt: I think that a number of those bogus support request might be symptoms of UI in need of fixes. That's why I asked you to be part of the QA team.
[02:39] <salgado> stub, I'd prefer to try that myself, and if something goes wrong then I ask your help. how does that sound?
[02:39] <stub> salgado: Sounds good.
[02:39] <kiko> salgado, do you have access to the user necessary to do the update?
[02:39] <kiko> otherwise keep stub close at hand!
[02:39] <stub> salgado: I'll stuff one of the recent backups in a safe place just in case cprov has some important data in there.
[02:39] <salgado> I guess it's the launchpad user, isn't it?
[02:39] <mpt> ddaa, good idea
[02:39] <carlos> salgado: yes
[02:39] <salgado> then I have
[02:40] <kiko> great
[02:40] <kiko> salgado, issue resolved?
[02:40] <salgado> yep
[02:40] <kiko> great.
[02:40] <kiko> * Keep bag and change
[02:40] <kiko> 5
[02:40] <ddaa> CHANGE: stop teams from shrinking, or LP from growing. Too much work for too few hands.

[02:45] <kiko> I believe that is all

[02:45] <carlos> thanks
[02:45] <kiko> thanks everyone
[02:45] <ddaa> well done
[02:45] <bradb> jamesh: Ah, I see it came during the meeting. Cool, thanks.
[02:46] <bradb> Though that expanded-but-collapsed-folder bug is annoying me
[02:46] <jamesh> bradb: if I can work out how to do without the backspace key, thunderbird might be a bit more stable
[02:50] <jamesh> bradb: it made me look for the "automatically save drafts" option in thunderbird though ...
[02:52] <bradb> ouch
[02:53] <LarstiQ> jamesh: does ^H help any?
[02:53] <LarstiQ> kiko: thanks for the status update
[02:53] <jamesh> LarstiQ: don't know.  It doesn't always crash when I hit backspace
[02:58] <kiko> LarstiQ, sure, enjoy

[03:00] <bradb> sent last thursday
[03:05] <stub> bradb: Looks fine except for null handling. Bug.security_related should be NOT NULL. I don't know if your implementation allows NULLs in Distribution.security_contact or Product.security_contact
[03:06] <bradb> right, I'll fix that. patch number?

[03:11] <lifeless> sure
[03:17] <kiko> lifeless, that's okay
[03:22] <BjornT> lifeless: nm, i pinged you since stub wasn't around.
[03:26] <lifeless> stub: how did stevea go with zope3.2 ? Should I have a play with it ?
[03:27] <lifeless> jamesh: pending reviews is looking nice.
[03:27] <lifeless> thanks
[03:27] <stub> lifeless: I don't know. The only remaining failing tests were some of steves work. It appears to be working though, so I can just disable those tests and land it or try and fix them myself (they are pretty disgusting zcml tests though)
[03:28] <lifeless> stub: I'm happy to have a look see early next week
[03:28] <lifeless> stub: I'm inclined not to have us rollout stuff with tests failing :0
[03:28] <lifeless> theres usually a reason behind such things
[03:28] <stub> lifeless: ok. I'll have a look tomorrow anyway.
[03:28] <stub> lifeless: Yer. Crappy tests :)
[03:29] <lifeless> lol
[03:29] <stub> Or I should say, fragile and confusing tests.
[03:30] <lifeless> ddaa: please finish and merge  david/launchpad/baz2bzr - its 35 days old!
[03:30] <ddaa> it's high on my priority list
[03:30] <ddaa> I only just received the review
[03:30] <ddaa> not my fault if it's late!
[03:30] <lifeless> yuo
[03:30] <lifeless> yup
[03:31] <lifeless> I'm heckling everyone gently
[03:31] <ddaa> lifeless: about refactor-totla
[03:32] <ddaa> is there actually some guidelines about wrapping of long argument lists in function definitions?
[03:33] <ddaa> (that was what I wanted to talk to you about)
[03:34] <lifeless> ddaa: I treat them the same as wrapping function calls
[03:34] <lifeless> ddaa: I think thats a reasonable heuristic
[03:35] <ddaa> Well, my wrapping of function calls tends to depends heavily on the context...
[03:35] <ddaa> anyway, I'll do something
[03:36] <ddaa> lifeless: maybe you could have a look at the two mails I just wrote to offload some work to jamesh. They are branch scanner bugfixes, I would like you to proofread read in case I'm being on crack.
[03:37] <ddaa> (which is not entirely unheard of)
[03:50] <kiko> stub, BjornT: ping?
[03:50] <stub> yo
[03:50] <kiko> stub, did you note the send-bug-notifications crash?
[03:51] <kiko> +"/srv/launchpad.net/production/launchpad/cronscripts/../lib/canonical/launchpad/scripts/bugnotificatio
[03:51] <kiko> +n.py", line 108, in construct_email_notification
[03:51] <kiko>     msg['From']  = format_address(
[03:51] <kiko> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'email'
[03:51] <kiko> I think this is what BjornT wanted cherry-picked
[03:51] <kiko> I think we need to think about making that script more robust
[03:51] <kiko> because when it fails, it fails terribly
[03:51] <kiko> and no bugmail gets sent
[03:51] <stub> The one bjorn has fixed and asked to be cherry picked?
[03:51] <kiko> yeah.
[03:52] <kiko> just catching up on errormail..
[03:55] <lifeless> ddaa: sure
[03:55] <stub> It would be hard to have made this one fail gracefully I think
[04:06] <kiko> stub, well, you can fail sending one email and still send the others, can't you?
[04:07] <ddaa> lifeless: I'd like you to confirm that the way bzr_push is implemented at https://chinstrap.ubuntu.com/~jamesh/pending-reviews/david/launchpad/baz2bzr/full-diff is indeed the simplest way to do it (pushing to remote branch with a custom progress bar), so I can file a bug on bzr as spiv suggests.

[04:09] <LarstiQ> Why do I get shown a red warning icon when I subscribe to a branch?
[04:09] <Surak> Hello
[04:10] <ddaa> because it's a bug?
[04:10] <ddaa> LarstiQ: mpt has fixed the templates recently so warning and notices are different things, but since they were not different before, they are used more or less randomly in the existing code.
[04:12] <LarstiQ> ddaa: thanks
[04:12] <lifeless> ddaa: dude
[04:12] <lifeless> bzrlib.ui.ui_factory = MyFactory()
[04:13] <Surak> there's something which is starting to get confusing in launchpad - the lack of package versions. With dapper being maintained for so long, packages for it will have very different versions than, for instance, dapper +6. How are we going to manage this?
[04:13] <kiko> Surak, with backport fixes.
[04:15] <kiko> matsubara, https://chinstrap.ubuntu.com/~jamesh/oops.cgi/2006-04-05/D222 -- do it!
[04:15] <stub> kiko: oh. yes, that would be good.
[04:15] <lifeless> ddaa: and then call branch_to.pull(branch_from)
[04:16] <lifeless> ddaa: no way should you duplicate all that code
[04:16] <Surak> kiko: I understand. But how are a poster describe which package has the problem? As several people are going to use dapper for a longer time than the usual ubuntu timeframe, several bugs are going to be posted and posted again.
[04:16] <ddaa> lifeless: thanks, maybe the ui_factory thing was not there in launchpad's bzrlib when I implemented it, I guess I would have figured it out when I unrolled all that code...
[04:17] <lifeless> ddaa: its been there for ages
[04:17] <lifeless> ddaa: its the way the test suite avoids having progress bars for instance... perhaps you should have asked us ;)
[04:17] <Surak> Someone can say: hey, I fixed this bug! and close it. but it will still be there, or just be old thing. A version field (like the gnome bugzilla one) would make developer's job quicker, don't you think?
[04:18] <ddaa> lifeless: thanks

[04:36] <stub> gandwana next
[04:39] <elmo> ok, so, one of my dak ports
[04:39] <elmo> when I do, x = "", x ends up being unicode, not str
[04:39] <elmo> but only for the top level dak-port script that does all the import of launchpad stuff, a lower level ('dak_utils.py') module, does y = "" and that's str, not  unicode
[04:39] <elmo> 'sup with that?

[04:41] <stub> elmo: If you stick an 'assert isinstance(x, str)' line after the x="" assignment, you will confirm that it really is a string. Unicode is viral, so if you do operations with x it stands a good chance of being promoted to Unicode.
[04:42] <elmo> yeah, sorry, I just figured that out
[04:43] <elmo> argh
[04:43] <elmo> it's lp giving me unicode suite names
[04:43] <jamesh> lifeless: it is picking up the reviewer for a section of the page from a special "## reviewer:" comment in the wiki source, so should be pretty easy to maintain
[04:45] <Kinnison> elmo: It will, because everything coming from the db ends up unicode
[04:46] <stub> Because we are Unicode facists
[04:46] <Surak> Kiko: no comment on what I talked about. What do you think about it? What are the cons of having a release field in launchpad?
[04:47] <elmo> you unicode facists will never take me alive
[04:47] <jamesh> in Python 3000, you won't have non unicode strings
[04:47] <jamesh> just unicode strings and byte sequences
[04:48] <stub> Shhhh... quiet or he will rewrite it in Perl!
[04:48] <elmo> ok, where has new bzr put my shelved patches?
[04:49] <ddaa> hey jamesh
[04:49] <jamesh> hi ddaa
[04:49] <ddaa> can you look at "Broken branch-scanner history truncation"?
[04:50] <ddaa> ASAP, it's broken in production.
[04:50] <stub> Apart from using bzr unshelve to reapply them, no idea
[04:51] <jamesh> ddaa: okay.  I'll look at it tomorrow morning
[04:51] <ddaa> Thank you.
[04:51] <elmo>   I assume the insane memory requirements for a simple bzr commit to LP are known?
[04:52] <jamesh> elmo: insane == ~ 300MB, or much bigger than that?
[04:53] <elmo> jamesh: yeah, 300-400Mb
[04:53] <ddaa> Mh, I have not hear much bitching about that, but it's true that bzr take a ridiculous amount of RAM when working on launchpad
[04:53] <elmo> (which I call insane, 'cos I "only" have 512Mb, and do other stuff on this box, so any bzr commit forces pretty much everything else out to swap)
[04:53] <ddaa> probably most of it is spent on parsing the invenotry.weave
[04:53] <stub> It single threads me - 400MB bzr + Gnome and tools means swapping on this box
[04:54] <ddaa> which is is part of the class of problems that will go away with knits
[04:54] <jamesh> that's good to know
[04:54] <jamesh> when can we move to knits? :)
[04:55] <ddaa> (for the record, the inventory.weave is 102M of text)
[04:55] <ddaa> jamesh: soon after the format is finalised
[04:55] <ddaa> lifeless is working hard on it
[04:55] <jamesh> I think the inventory used to be around 30MB before that "reweaving the inventory" bit about a month ago
[04:56] <ddaa> if it was, then it was small and wrong, or so I am told.
[04:57] <ddaa> it might be possible to be smarter there, but that's not an area of active development
[05:01] <Kinnison> in doctests, how does one write to stdout?
[05:01] <ddaa> print?
[05:01] <Kinnison> isn't that captured by the doctest magic?
[05:01] <jamesh> Kinnison: sys.stdout gets captured
[05:01] <ddaa> yes
[05:01] <ddaa> Kinnison: try sys._stdout_ (or something like that, I'm not sure)
[05:02] <jamesh> Kinnison: it is evil, but print >>sys.__stdout__, ... might work
[05:02] <ddaa> what jamesh says
[05:02] <Kinnison> interesting, ta
[05:02] <jamesh> why do you want to write to real stdout in a doctest?
[05:03] <Kinnison> progress
[05:03] <Kinnison> this doctest takes a long time
[05:03] <stub> Support emails appear to be flowing
[05:03] <ddaa> Kinnison: you sure you do not really want to use unittest instead?
[05:04] <ddaa> doctest stuff is meant to be simple
[05:04] <Kinnison> ddaa: I *think* doctest was more correct. these aren't unit tests, they're end-to-end functional tests of the soyuz upload system
[05:04] <ddaa> Kinnison: I mean "unittest" not "unit tests"
[05:04] <Kinnison> ?
[05:04] <stub> Noisy tests are considered broken by intelligent test runners that check for that sort of thing (like the Z3 one will be at some point)
[05:04] <ddaa> there are some functional tests using TestCase and stuff.
[05:05] <Kinnison> stub: oh
[05:05] <ddaa> that's the way to make any test that's neither API documentation or pagetest

[06:40] <Kinnison> elmo: hi
[07:06] <OdyX> Hey. Wondering about Konqueror packages to be translated - Translation template empty ! (And  the fact is Konqueror is well translated)
[07:08] <kiko> OdyX, the KDE imports are still pending -- carlos has information on this
[07:09] <carlos> OdyX: we had a problem with komqueror's .pot file
[07:09] <carlos>  /s/komqueror/konqueror/
[07:09] <carlos> OdyX: will be fixed soon...
[07:10] <carlos> OdyX: anyway, we are still importing translations for dapper and it's not officially open to be translated
[07:10] <OdyX> carlos: but the existing translations (almost whole KDE is translated in FR, for example) won't have to be re-done (or worse:copy-pasted) ?
[07:13] <carlos> OdyX: no, we are importing all .pot and .po files, don't worry
[07:14] <OdyX> OK. That's fine !
[07:18] <OdyX> carlos: we had begun some in FR, are you planning to overwrite ? (You should...) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/kdebase/+pots/kcmaccessibility/fr/+translate?offset=10 <- ex: the first item does not correspond to "KDE's" translation (the one I have here "live" )
[07:19] <carlos> OdyX: that's already imported from upstream
[07:19] <carlos> OdyX: we imported that we got from KDE's package
[07:19] <carlos> s/that/what/
[07:20] <OdyX> OK...
[07:20] <OdyX> Is it planned to let it "open" ? I mean, subject to user's modification ?
[07:21] <carlos> OdyX: as long as you are a member of the Ubuntu French team, you can change what you want there
[07:21] <carlos> unless you abuse the system
[07:22] <OdyX> carlos: OK. That's good.
[07:22] <OdyX> Now I will let you go back to work! ;-) Sorry for eventual disturbing  ! Nice job guys, thanks !
[07:23] <salgado> has anybody seen something similar to https://chinstrap.ubuntu.com/~dsilvers/paste/fileInkgcD.html when running a make schema?
[07:23] <carlos> OdyX: you are welcome. We are here to help

[07:33] <Burgwork> mpt, you around?
[07:42] <salgado> kiko, https://dogfood.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/+mirror/testmirror
[07:44] <kiko> salgado, why is the ubuntu archive showing up as one day behind?
[07:45] <salgado> might be because it timed out some times
[07:46] <salgado> when we were DOSing it
[07:46] <salgado> Time out on host archive.ubuntu.com, port 80 on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/squeak-vm/squeak-vm_3.7.7-5ubuntu5_i386.deb
[07:47] <kiko> odd.
[07:47] <kiko> also, how do you know if the mirror is out of date? what do you compare against?
[07:48] <salgado> out of date?
[07:48] <kiko> yes.
