[01:44] <F-GT> how do you install the edubuntu cdrom via loopback ?
[01:44] <F-GT> edubuntu addon
[01:53] <sbalneav> Should just be able to mount -o loop blah.iso /media/cdrom
[01:53] <sbalneav> but I've never done it that way
[01:54] <F-GT> yeah tried it .. doesnt load the package manager
[01:54] <F-GT> just burning an iso in the meantime
[01:56] <F-GT> well that works
[01:57] <sbalneav> yeah, I don't think manually mounting a loopback iso's gonna fire the HAL scripts you need.
[01:57] <sbalneav> You could just point Synaptic at it manually
[01:57] <sbalneav> But, since you're burning already :)
[01:57] <F-GT> yeah thought about that too
[01:57] <F-GT> got given an old laptop so figured i'd throw edubuntu on it for my sisters kids
[01:57] <F-GT> and give it to them
[01:58] <sbalneav> I'm sure they'll have a hoot with it.
[01:58] <F-GT> yeah provided the depsolving works with no internet / network access :)
[01:59] <F-GT> yeah im sure they will too
[02:01] <F-GT> thanks for answer regarding the hal stuff .. had forgot about that ... thought there might of been a script on the cd to launch
[02:02] <F-GT> cd seems to humming along okay so far ... would be nice to not use the cd tho and launch via loopback even if it's script to kick it off
[02:07] <sbalneav> Wonder if there's an "apt-iso" method.
[02:24] <F-GT> and failure .. no network connectivity
[02:24] <F-GT> wants libgsm :)
[02:25] <F-GT> and libavcodec
[02:28] <F-GT> most of it seems to work tho
[02:29] <LaserJock> evening all
[02:33] <sbalneav> Evening LaserJock!
[02:35] <LaserJock> sbalneav: how's it going?
[02:39] <sbalneav> Going good!
[02:39] <sbalneav> Doing a little "manual labour" this evening :)
[02:55] <LaserJock> sbalneav: the inside or outside kind?
[02:58] <sbalneav> The LTSP docs kind :)
[02:59] <LaserJock> ah
[02:59] <LaserJock> heh
[02:59] <LaserJock> sbalneav: you got a bzr branch for that?
[02:59] <sbalneav> I surely do!
[03:00] <sbalneav> lp:~ltsp-docwriters/ltsp/ltsp-docs-trunk
[03:08] <LaserJock> sbalneav: wow, lots of info there
[03:08] <sbalneav> up to 70 pages now.
[03:09] <sbalneav> That's what I'd ultimately like to package up somehow
[03:09] <sbalneav> I'd like people to type "apt-get install ltsp-docs" and get:
[03:09] <sbalneav> the pdf
[03:10] <sbalneav> the one big html page
[03:10] <sbalneav> and if we could somehow make that appear in the gnome help thingy, that'd be great too.
[03:11] <LaserJock> I think the pdf is sort of the mmost difficult
[03:12] <LaserJock> gnome help is fairly trivial
[03:12] <LaserJock> HTML is fairly easy
[03:16] <sbalneav> Well, the pdf's probably the least necessary of the 3
[03:21] <LaserJock> sbalneav: do you need all the autotools stuff?
[03:25] <sbalneav> Well, makes it handy.
[03:26] <sbalneav> Wait
[03:26] <sbalneav> in the package you mean?
[03:26] <sbalneav> Oh, no
[03:26] <sbalneav> That's just for building the wibbly bits.
[03:31] <LaserJock> sbalneav: I just wondered if you really need all that
[03:32] <LaserJock> sbalneav: you could probably just use a Makefile I'd think
[03:33] <sbalneav> Someone else coded it up nicely, so I'm just using it :)
[04:29] <Ahmuck> hi.  ubuntu ltsp server is up and running well
[04:29] <Ahmuck>  :)
[04:35] <sbalneav> Good.
[04:40] <Ahmuck> now i'm hoping to figure out the ITALC before messing it up royally
[04:41] <Ahmuck> i've been fighting a firewall all week.  seems the NICS are taking the same IRQs and i'm still working on it :(
[04:45] <Ahmuck> nn
[04:58] <Ahmuck> i have a question.  we'd like to use wacom tablets for art class.  usb.  is this possible?
[04:59] <sbalneav> Don't know, I'v never used them
[04:59] <sbalneav> but I know people HAVE used tablets of some kind on Ubuntu.
[05:01] <Ahmuck> tablets on ubuntu works.  you think they will work on a fat client ?  or thin client?
[05:01] <Ahmuck> we'd like to use plastic animation paper and artrage
[05:02] <Ahmuck> artrage requires wine.  a security risk?
[05:02] <Ahmuck> should windows programs be installed with sudo or as a user
[05:03]  * Ahmuck needs sleep :(
[05:05] <Ahmuck> well, i need to shut down.  i'll be back to ask questions i suppose.  is there a meeting next wednesday?
[05:07] <LaserJock> Ahmuck: we haven't decided on the next meeting
[05:08] <LaserJock> Ahmuck: watch the edubuntu-users list for an announcement
[05:08] <sbalneav> LaserJock: So, I got an LTSPManual.xml file.  How to I make it appear in Yelp?
[05:09] <LaserJock> yelp file:///<full path>LTSPManual.xml
[05:10] <sbalneav> You just think yer sooooo smart, don't you.  Fancy-pantsed phd boy, with yer simple solutions and rock-n-roll music.
[05:11] <LaserJock> heah, that's why they pay me the big bucks ;-)
[05:11] <sbalneav> but with the edubuntu handbook, we had it appearing on the menu on the side.  How was that happy magic performed?
[05:12] <LaserJock> oh, well you install a omf file and call scrollkeeper
[05:13] <LaserJock> or hmm, that wasn't exactly your question was it
[05:13] <Ahmuck> looks like pap might be a challenge to run on ltsp without copying to every home directory
[05:13] <LaserJock> having it appear on the side menu is actually totally hackish crap
[05:13] <Ahmuck> k, nn 4 sure now
[05:13] <LaserJock> the initial menu that you get in yelp is all hard coded
[05:13] <sbalneav> ah, ok
[05:14] <LaserJock> sbalneav: you know what you need
[05:14] <LaserJock> you should have a LTSP diagnostics tool
[05:14] <sbalneav> A good swift kick in the goolies?
[05:14] <LaserJock> you run it and it pops up yelp with the help
[05:14] <sbalneav> Oh, right a diagnostic tool :)
[05:15] <LaserJock> *and* like puts together all the relevant stuff for a bug report
[05:15] <sbalneav> We had one of those YEARS ago.  Yeah, it'd be great to get one going again.
[05:15] <LaserJock> like the lts.conf or whatever that is
[05:15] <sbalneav> Wasn't that hard.
[05:15] <sbalneav> Excellent idear.
[05:15] <sbalneav> Where would it send it to?
[05:16] <sbalneav> Probably better if it just wrote "ltsp-debug.txt" somewhere.
[05:16] <sbalneav> yeah, that's like a half-a-day hack job.
[05:16] <LaserJock> yeah, don't need to get all fancy
[05:17] <sbalneav> I like it.
[05:17] <LaserJock> but just having a little menu item that'd be like "Help for LTSP"
[05:17] <sbalneav> I'll do it this weeked.
[05:17] <sbalneav> You got the manual there?
[05:18] <sbalneav> Do a yelp on it
[05:18] <sbalneav> I'm seeing "book.labelLTSP"
[05:18] <sbalneav> wonder where that's coming from
[05:21] <LaserJock> where do you see that?
[05:25] <sbalneav> Right on the first page
[05:25] <sbalneav> when it first pops up.  Upper left, under the big title
[05:27] <LaserJock> I don't get that
[05:27] <LaserJock> but I've seen that sort of thing before
[05:30] <sbalneav> you on intrepid or harrrrrdy
[05:30] <LaserJock> intrepid
[05:31] <sbalneav> I'm on harrrrrdy, so maybe it's just a bugaboo
[05:31] <LaserJock> well, I swear I saw something like that on a different xml file the other day
[05:31] <LaserJock> I don't think it'll end up in the final product though
[05:36] <sbalneav> update your branch and check out my new subtitle :)
[05:37] <LaserJock> lol!
[05:39] <sbalneav> Hey, if you can't have some fun with it, what's the point.
[05:47]  * LaserJock strangles KDE
[05:47] <LaserJock> why is it that they can manage to have a configuration for *everything* but the one thing I want
[05:51] <sbalneav> I've met Aaron Seigo, and he like TOTALLY hates PHD Chemists.
[05:51] <sbalneav> THIS WAS HIS REVENGE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[05:52] <sbalneav> No, really, I dunno :)
[05:58] <LaserJock> sbalneav: dude, I didn't tell you.  A MAN!!!!
[06:01] <sbalneav> Good for you dude!
[06:01] <sbalneav> Do that for another 15 years, and you can turn out like me
[06:01] <sbalneav> no, wait.
[06:01] <sbalneav> run while you can :)
[06:01] <LaserJock> heh
[06:02] <sbalneav> Which app?
[06:03] <LaserJock> gnome chemistry utils
[06:03] <LaserJock> the main author has been working on a chemical spectrum viewer
[06:03] <sbalneav> Coolio
[06:03] <LaserJock> and he had a nifty X-axis adjuster thing
[06:03] <LaserJock> and I was using it and was like, dude, I need the Y-axis too
[06:04] <LaserJock> it wasn't purely copy-n-paste because the 2 axes need to be treated differently
[06:04] <LaserJock> but I added some widgets, spin button and a slider, and got everything hooked up
[06:04] <LaserJock> and it actually worked
[06:09] <sbalneav> Rockin!
[06:13] <LaserJock> well, time for bed
[06:14] <LaserJock> are we doin' our little bug thing tomorrow night?
[06:14] <sbalneav> Gonna try
[06:14] <sbalneav> Should be on around 9 central
[06:14] <LaserJock> hopefully I'll have some time
[06:15] <LaserJock> I need to work on both my car and my wife's tomorrow
[06:15] <LaserJock> PhD Chemisty student + car == looooong time
[06:16] <sbalneav> Working on your wife will be more fun.
[06:16] <sbalneav> Oh, wait, working on your wife's CAR, my mistake :)
[06:16] <LaserJock> pffft
[06:16] <LaserJock> you Canucks really can't read can you ;-p
[06:17] <LaserJock> good night
[06:17] <sbalneav> Night dude!
[06:17] <sbalneav> I'm off too.

[07:04] <AlexLatchford> the document as it stands is great
[07:04] <gnomefreak> +1
[07:04] <AlexLatchford> Maybe the whole 2 weeks meeting should be changed to monthly
[07:04] <gnomefreak> oh crap
[07:04] <asac> monthly is better i guess

[07:08] <dfarning> yes until feisty comes out in a couple of wee
[07:08] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: not as of now with new nominations
[07:08] <AlexLatchford> erm, well we have nominations for dfarning, AlexLatchford, gnomefreak, Admiral_Chicago, asac and hjmf
[07:08] <dfarning> I fine with that
[07:09] <AlexLatchford> cool, anyone know if hjmf has a problem with this?
[07:09] <Admiral_Chicago> ditto
[07:09] <gnomefreak> thats fine. has anyone checked with hjmf?
[07:09] <AlexLatchford> as I dont believe he is here
[07:09] <gnomefreak> he left a little while ago
[07:09] <dfarning> he is pretty busy with school
[07:09] <Admiral_Chicago> hes afk.
[07:09] <Admiral_Chicago> from what i recalll
[07:09] <AlexLatchford> aha okay, ewll we can include him and if his status changes we can rethink
[07:09] <AlexLatchford> +1 on all candidates
[07:09] <dfarning> +1
[07:10] <gnomefreak> i say we finish that up on ML
[07:10] <asac> +1 (though a pretty large group imo) :)
[07:10] <Admiral_Chicago> +1
[07:10] <dfarning> ok finish on ML
[07:10] <AlexLatchford> okay, dfarning can you make a new LP.net team and add the various members?
[07:11] <dfarning> yes
[07:11] <gnomefreak> if i remember i will send out a post to list
[07:11] <AlexLatchford> okay, thanks john
[07:11] <gnomefreak> yw
[07:11] <AlexLatchford> Next: Approve MozillaTeam/Membership
[07:11] <dfarning> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Membership
[07:11] <AlexLatchford> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Membership
[07:12] <dfarning> I would like to postpone until i talk more with jono
[07:12] <dfarning> new person friendly vs QA is hard;(
[07:12] <AlexLatchford> yeah you have a point there
[07:13] <gnomefreak> agreed dfarning you gonna handle talking to jono?
[07:13] <dfarning> I will do so
[07:13] <gnomefreak> i may have something else for you to run by him if i cant find elkbuntu
[07:13] <dfarning> ok
[07:13] <AlexLatchford> okay
[07:13] <dfarning> next?
[07:14] <AlexLatchford> -1 on Membership Wiki, postpone to next meeting
[07:14] <AlexLatchford> you again david
[07:14] <AlexLatchford> Approve MozillaTeam/Upstream
[07:14] <Admiral_Chicago> -1
[07:14] <Admiral_Chicago> err membership
[07:14] <dfarning> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Upstream
[07:14] <AlexLatchford> lol Freddy
[07:15] <asac> postpone
[07:15] <asac> ups
[07:15] <asac> late :)
[07:15] <gnomefreak> why -1?
[07:15] <asac> about membership ;)
[07:15] <dfarning> asac, what are your thoughts?
[07:16] <gnomefreak> im happy with postponing it until david speaks with jono
[07:16] <asac> the document is good, but i don't know if we need a official policy for that
[07:17] <dfarning> I would like to set a standard of behavior
[07:17] <dfarning> that other can depend on
[07:17] <dfarning> others
[07:17] <dfarning> so they know we will not send crap/spam
[07:17] <asac> ah ok
[07:18] <dfarning> exactly;(
[07:18] <asac> patches should only be pushed upstream as well as bugs
[07:18] <asac> after being reviewed by someone experienced imo
[07:18] <asac> if that is in that document then its fine
[07:18] <asac> its important not to stress upstream relationship ... as you said with "crap/spam"
[07:19] <AlexLatchford> Personally I feel the document needs a little more work before it should be approved
[07:19] <dfarning> i'll add that
[07:19] <dfarning> AlexLatchford, what other work?
[07:19] <gnomefreak> lets get up with jono see what he says than add it to agenda after wiki is fixed in jonos idea of it
[07:19] <AlexLatchford> Saying who to contact to confirm patches, I am on the team but do not know much about Patches
[07:20] <AlexLatchford> for instance..
[07:20] <Admiral_Chicago> i think we need to be more visible so people don't do work outside of our policies
[07:20] <gnomefreak> asac: would be the contact maybe david also?
[07:20] <AlexLatchford> Admiral_Chicago: True
[07:21] <Admiral_Chicago> for example, having to go and undo peoples tagging after we set a tag library
[07:21] <dfarning> I have been trying to be an admin contact letting you guys do all the tech stuff
[07:21] <gnomefreak> dfarning: tagging closing remarking ect...
[07:21] <asac> gnomefreak: contact for upstream bug review?
[07:22] <dfarning> ok with this in mind i'll rewrite and ask for more feed back on ML
[07:22] <AlexLatchford> +1 on dfarning's suggestion
[07:22] <gnomefreak> remarking example = after full crash report is attached people are "please install -dbg and run backtrace" or " not enough info closing..."
[07:22] <asac> ok .... action: improve upstream directions
[07:23] <Admiral_Chicago> +1 to a rewrite as well
[07:23] <AlexLatchford> Yes, it still needs a bit more discussion in my eyes
[07:23] <AlexLatchford> on the mailing list
[07:23] <dfarning> next?
[07:23] <asac> Admiral_Chicago: about the visibility
[07:23] <asac> there is a general debuggingprocedures page
[07:23] <asac> which links to our policy
[07:23] <AlexLatchford> Next: Extension / Theme policy - Admiral_Chicago
[07:24] <Admiral_Chicago> doesn't mean people read it
[07:24] <asac> bug triagers should read that page from time to time ... though they probably don't do
[07:24] <Admiral_Chicago> i mean in the community
[07:24] <asac> yes
[07:24] <AlexLatchford> maybe we can link it in from the Bugsquad page..
[07:24] <gnomefreak> they dont they are using -bugs responces
[07:24] <asac> i am working on convincing lp folks for adding special hints for packages
[07:24] <Admiral_Chicago> well i put this agenda item to be clear about which themes / extensions we can support
[07:25] <asac> like: bugs for this package are processed following procedures on http://xxx
[07:25] <gnomefreak> so far only what we have afaik
[07:25] <Admiral_Chicago> as I know of, we have a handful of themes and extensions in the repositories
[07:26] <dfarning> I did have enough tech knowledge to determine why we were packaging certain extensions
[07:26] <dfarning> did not
[07:26] <gnomefreak> asac: should we get a list and go one by one down list to see what ones would be worth adding for feisty+1 (somehow i doubt they will end up in feisty)
[07:26] <asac> please lets not add more to feisty
[07:26] <asac> others that crash
[07:26] <Admiral_Chicago> so i suggest we build a library of supported packages
[07:26] <asac> feisty is pretty late
[07:26] <gnomefreak> asac: thats why i said feisty+1 :)
[07:26] <asac> sorry :)
[07:26] <asac> sure
[07:27] <asac> anyway, i guess there are only a few extensions are valid candidates
[07:27] <AlexLatchford> Well, which extensions are we going to include, how do we decide?
[07:27] <Admiral_Chicago> once we get a valid bug report, those would have to be pushed upstream
[07:27] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: get a list of what you are thinking we support and add it to agenda for future meeting (IMHO) i have one nad asac had one we were looking into
[07:27] <dfarning> I am thinking remove unless there is a good reason to keep
[07:28] <asac> yes ... good reason: extension is really popular; ubuntu specific; or uses native component
[07:28] <dfarning> asac,  +1
[07:28] <AlexLatchford> +1 for me
[07:28] <gnomefreak> dfarning: i would rather in respect to community add some extensions/themes but only ones that can erally provide help and are throughly checked out
[07:28] <asac> native components are really rare ... so there should be only a handful in the end
[07:28] <dfarning> not becaue a MOTU thinks it would be a good place to start packaging
[07:28] <dfarning> ;(
[07:29] <asac> dfarning: imo we cannot do much, but deny that we will take care for them
[07:29] <gnomefreak> colorzilla == popular but imho crap since it is cause of alot of crashes
[07:29] <AlexLatchford> so what action are we taking?
[07:29] <asac> if they add such packages, packagers have to take care on bug triage alone
[07:29] <Admiral_Chicago> could we assign them back to the packager?
[07:29] <asac> colorzilla qualifies by "native component" which is why it crashes :)
[07:29] <gnomefreak> ah
[07:29] <asac> however colorzilla has not been released under free license
[07:30] <asac> so not yet a valid candidate
[07:30] <AlexLatchford> so what action are we taking?
[07:30] <dfarning> I'll post something to MOTU ML for consideration
[07:30] <asac> Admiral_Chicago: yes you can assign back to packager
[07:30] <AlexLatchford> are we going to make a list of extensions that are working, etc..
[07:30] <Admiral_Chicago> no i mean, let them deal with the bug reports
[07:30] <asac> don't know ... document which extensions qualify for mozilla team support
[07:30] <gnomefreak> mine has but i dont know where to even think about beginning on that one since i couldnt find the files we were looking for and i think i have since made it go away
[07:30] <asac> e.g. by guidelines i posted above
[07:30] <Admiral_Chicago> AlexLatchford: i was hoping we could get a list of extensions we support.
[07:31] <dfarning> would can do the list
[07:31] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: i would say start there
[07:31] <AlexLatchford> Admiral_Chicago: could you flesh out a wiki page and then post it to the ML for discussion?
[07:31] <Admiral_Chicago> AlexLatchford: can do chief
[07:31] <asac> Admiral_Chicago: i think we should decide if request pops up ... we can of course screen what is currently in archive and say "yes or no"
[07:31] <AlexLatchford> ta
[07:31] <gnomefreak> maybe on your rounds in irc look for what people like and use but try not to ask in support channels
[07:32] <Admiral_Chicago> yes
[07:32] <AlexLatchford> well look for bug reports, only package extensions that do not work without it
[07:32] <gnomefreak> im guessing we have a bit of time on that but would be good to have around feisty's release
[07:32] <Admiral_Chicago> i'll get a wiki going, send it to the ML, maybe post on the planet about it
[07:32] <gnomefreak> k
[07:32] <AlexLatchford> good idea
[07:32] <asac> k
[07:32] <dfarning> Admiral_Chicago, +1
[07:33] <AlexLatchford> Next: Greasemonkey script maintainer wanted - asac
[07:33] <gnomefreak> lol
[07:33] <asac> its just a request
[07:33] <asac> if someone knows .js
[07:33] <asac> and wants to improve life for us all :)
[07:33] <AlexLatchford> meh fair enough
[07:33] <gnomefreak> +1 for asac as maintainer ;) j/k
[07:33] <AlexLatchford> thought I would link it
[07:33] <asac> otherwise, i will try to do at some point
[07:33] <AlexLatchford> lol
[07:33] <Admiral_Chicago> i know a little java but not too much
[07:33] <gnomefreak> i havent looked at it yet
[07:33] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: its JS not so much java
[07:33] <asac> its just javascript
[07:33] <asac> like you do in html pages
[07:33] <gnomefreak> JS is easier
[07:34] <Admiral_Chicago> eh.
[07:34] <asac> maybe lets open a task page :) ... to add such jobs that still have no owner :)
[07:34] <gnomefreak> i remember bits and peices from classes i took in java. we had to work with some JS
[07:34] <AlexLatchford> asac: +1
[07:34] <gnomefreak> asac: +1
[07:34] <dfarning> got one on /Roadmap
[07:34] <AlexLatchford> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Roadmap
[07:35] <AlexLatchford> add it to the Roadmap Tasks
[07:35] <gnomefreak> btw everyone stay i have something to ask at end of meeting :)
[07:35] <Admiral_Chicago> will do gnomefreak
[07:35] <AlexLatchford> okay, next?
[07:35] <dfarning> next?
[07:35] <asac> ok maybe make another table for tasks that need a maintainer?
[07:35] <Admiral_Chicago> wait, we skipped AlexLatchford 's big
[07:35] <asac> i think we are through
[07:35] <Admiral_Chicago> bug*
[07:35] <asac> oh
[07:35] <AlexLatchford> Next: Dapper / Fx 2.0 policy [WWW]  Bug 89704 - Admiral_Chicago
[07:35] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 89704 in firefox "No backport of Firefox 2.o to Dapper" [Undecided,Needs info]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/89704
[07:36] <AlexLatchford> Admiral_Chicago: yeah we are not going in order, my points are not High on the list
[07:36] <gnomefreak> thats stated in bug
[07:36] <Admiral_Chicago> asac: maybe you can say something about out 1.5 policy
[07:36] <gnomefreak> there isnt much we can do with it
[07:36] <Admiral_Chicago> our*
[07:36] <dfarning> Asac can you write a faq on why we can build 2.0 on dapper
[07:36] <AlexLatchford> Yes I read the response from cjwatson
[07:36] <asac> ah
[07:36] <dfarning> cann't
[07:36] <asac> look at the bug
[07:36] <gnomefreak> dfarning: the upgrade page shouyld be fine for htat
[07:36] <asac> its already done
[07:36] <gnomefreak> that
[07:36] <asac> we posted official wiki page
[07:37] <asac> that states how we approach dapper long term security
[07:37] <dfarning> where, I missed that;(
[07:37] <asac> see comment from colin
[07:37] <Admiral_Chicago> looking now
[07:37] <gnomefreak> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFirefoxSupport
[07:37] <Admiral_Chicago> the Beta LP page is slower than molasses
[07:37] <asac> yes thats the content
[07:38] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: yes i know but i think because everyone went looking at it
[07:38] <dfarning> reading
[07:38] <AlexLatchford> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/FAQ
[07:38] <AlexLatchford> have added this for now
[07:38] <asac> good
[07:39] <AlexLatchford> So this issue is sorted...
[07:39] <Admiral_Chicago> alright
[07:39] <dfarning> sound good
[07:39] <asac> should be ... official statement exists
[07:39] <AlexLatchford> Next: Accessibility testing and issues, where we can help...
[07:39] <asac> e.g. canonical statement
[07:39] <Admiral_Chicago> gnomefreak: no, i think in general
[07:39] <AlexLatchford> This is more of a 'Be Aware' than a discussion point
[07:40] <Admiral_Chicago> the beta page is just slow...
[07:40] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: its not slow for me anymore
[07:40] <Admiral_Chicago> maybe its my network, i'll test at home
[07:40] <gnomefreak> agreed in most cases is
[07:40] <gnomefreak> moving on?
[07:40] <AlexLatchford> Next: Accessibility testing and issues, where we can help...
[07:40] <AlexLatchford> This is more of a 'Be Aware' than a discussion point
[07:40] <asac> i have no idea about accessibility
[07:41] <dfarning> me neither;(
[07:41] <asac> i don't like this
[07:41] <AlexLatchford> Basically the Accessibility Team has been working hard on Orca in Firefox to make sure it actually works
[07:41] <gnomefreak> me neither to both comments
[07:41] <asac> but someone who knows should setup some introduction on something
[07:41] <dfarning> I'll look into in
[07:41] <asac> e.g. what tools are used for what
[07:41] <asac> etc.
[07:41] <AlexLatchford> well Orca is the main program
[07:41] <AlexLatchford> currently they are implementing colour filters for the colour blind I believe
[07:41] <gnomefreak> AlexLatchford: is it orcas issues or ff?
[07:41] <dfarning> I'll ask the ocra guy for a introduction to the issues
[07:41] <Admiral_Chicago> afaik, orca has a lot of problems building
[07:41] <AlexLatchford> Well it is Orca issues that will probably be reported to Firefox
[07:42] <asac> if its a firefox specific issue, someone who knows should probably come up with some details
[07:42] <gnomefreak> IMHO orca should be filed against orca
[07:42] <AlexLatchford> Well, this is what we are trying to discover, we need to work closely with them as sometimes it is their bug and sometimes it is ours
[07:43] <dfarning> I'll start the discussion
[07:43] <asac> sure ... they should just join us :) ... at least from time to time
[07:43] <AlexLatchford> but if you see a bug that you believe is Accessibility related, say if it only occuring with Orca enabled
[07:43] <AlexLatchford> yeah, i will invite Henrik to the next meeting
[07:43] <Admiral_Chicago> he was at our last one iirc.
[07:43] <AlexLatchford> ..then tag it 'Accessibility' and also subscribe the Accessibility Team to the bug
[07:43] <asac> haven't seen any ... maybe orca people can do us a favor and search our bts for orca issues?
[07:43] <AlexLatchford> Admiral_Chicago: yes he was
[07:44] <gnomefreak> my point being we have more than enough bugs to spread out to 35 teams and still not be fixed by end of year why add more if its not related to fx or tb
[07:44] <AlexLatchford> gnomefreak: this is what I am saying, we need to reassign it when it is an issue..
[07:44] <asac> yes ... if its not related, its not our problem
[07:44] <asac> reassign
[07:44] <AlexLatchford> as we cannot fix it
[07:45] <AlexLatchford> it is more of a be aware of this problem
[07:45] <AlexLatchford> than what we need to do
[07:45] <asac> ok :)
[07:45] <gnomefreak> AlexLatchford: you have the link to them as tagged still on the tags wiki right?
[07:45] <AlexLatchford> Believe so
[07:45] <AlexLatchford> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/Tags
[07:45] <gnomefreak> dfarning: who are you planning on talking to?
[07:46] <gnomefreak> btw ther eis only 1
[07:46] <AlexLatchford> Well I have emailed the Accessibility list
[07:46] <dfarning> who ever know anything about accessability:)
[07:46] <AlexLatchford> and they are kind of aware of the problem, the response I got back was a little quiet
[07:46] <gnomefreak> lol dfarning
[07:46] <gnomefreak> ok who has free time this week
[07:46] <AlexLatchford> ill investigate this more
[07:46] <gnomefreak> lets kill all birds ;) with this
[07:46] <AlexLatchford> as I started it
[07:47] <dfarning> ubutnu accessability, firefox accessibilty, ...
[07:47] <AlexLatchford> Okay.. moving on?
[07:47] <gnomefreak> asac: any patches/testing need to be done this week?
[07:47] <gnomefreak> AlexLatchford: one sec please
[07:47] <AlexLatchford> okay
[07:48] <dfarning> did the apport patch make it?
[07:48] <asac> gnomefreak: not yet :)
[07:48] <asac> ^^ about patches/testing that needs to be done
[07:48] <gnomefreak> asac: ok i need someone else with me on bug triaging this week. start at one end and work your way through tagging them and assigning them
[07:49] <AlexLatchford> I have added the testing repository to my sources.list
[07:49] <gnomefreak> s/asac/everyone
[07:49] <asac> it might be a bit tricky to install testing repository versions for the first time
[07:49] <gnomefreak> it seems like we got caught up with other things nad forgot about it
[07:49] <asac> after that they should automatically upgrade
[07:49] <gnomefreak> dfarning: thats fine.
[07:49] <gnomefreak> dfarning: ill be here most of day during week
[07:50] <asac> okay ... are we through
[07:50] <asac> ??
[07:50] <dfarning> sounds good
[07:50] <gnomefreak> dfarning: just remember crash report/edgy/coredump please assign to me
[07:50] <dfarning> ok
[07:50] <AlexLatchford> Next: GUI Consistency. [WWW]  Bug 42263
[07:50] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 42263 in firefox "Toolbar display should be "Icons and text" for consistency" [Wishlist,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/42263
[07:50] <gnomefreak> ick still on that one
[07:50] <AlexLatchford> meh?
[07:51] <AlexLatchford> well there is an option to turn it off
[07:51] <gnomefreak> hover mouse over it and text is there
[07:51] <AlexLatchford> agreed, but it is more for consistency
[07:51] <dfarning> we may want to postpone this one
[07:51] <dfarning> talk of mozilla starting a linux gui group
[07:51] <AlexLatchford> Really?
[07:52] <gnomefreak> you can add text fairly easy
[07:52] <Admiral_Chicago> yes postpone it.
[07:52] <dfarning> so all distros can work together to improve interface on gtk kde
[07:52] <AlexLatchford> gnomefreak: I know, but it is more of a consistency across the desktop
[07:52] <AlexLatchford> TB, Nautilus, gEdit all use Text too
[07:53] <Admiral_Chicago> Konqueror doesn't
[07:53] <AlexLatchford> *rolls eyes*
[07:53] <gnomefreak> asac: ?
[07:54] <Riddell> Admiral_Chicago: doesn't what?
[07:54] <AlexLatchford> Personally it wouldn't bother me too much if the change was made
[07:54] <gnomefreak> Riddell: have text and icons
[07:54] <Riddell> gnomefreak: it does in KDE 4
[07:54] <AlexLatchford> as default?
[07:54] <Riddell> yes
[07:54] <gnomefreak> yes
[07:55] <AlexLatchford> well if we are after consistency I really think the change needs to be made, but whether or not we wait until Feisty+1 for it if we need more debate time..
[07:55] <gnomefreak> we should beablet o change it with very little feedback from mozilla but im opposed to the change personally. it just adds one more thing to slow fx down
[07:55] <asac> sorry ... have no time ... tel conference
[07:56] <gnomefreak> asac: k
[07:56] <Admiral_Chicago> i meant in 3.5.6.
[07:56] <gnomefreak> ok lets posepone this than wait for asac feedback on it
[07:56] <dfarning> ok
[07:56] <AlexLatchford> gnomefreak: agreed
[07:56] <gnomefreak> Admiral_Chicago: text is off there
[07:56] <Admiral_Chicago> i know that is one thing that has been worked on
[07:56] <gnomefreak> it should be as simple as a option in rules during ./configure
[07:57] <gnomefreak> but im not positive on that
[07:57] <AlexLatchford> just fired up OOo and it doesn't use text
[07:57] <Admiral_Chicago> to be fair, we have to realize we are packaging from MF, it is really up to them
[07:57] <AlexLatchford> maybe this is a decision the TechBoard should take
[07:57] <Admiral_Chicago> the best we can do is file upstream
[07:57] <gnomefreak> MF? and please dont say what i think you mean
[07:57] <Admiral_Chicago> Mozilla Foundation...
[07:58] <gnomefreak> oh ok good :)
[07:58] <Admiral_Chicago> haha.
[07:58] <dfarning> this it for meeting?
[07:58] <gnomefreak> but again ITS A UBUNTU CHANGE afaik
[07:58] <gnomefreak> not mozillas
[07:58] <AlexLatchford> well that change will never be included in Firefox default, but we can change it in Ubuntu Firefox
[07:59] <Admiral_Chicago> really? hmm, we may need to look at that
[07:59] <gnomefreak> we had one more i think
[07:59] <dfarning> all ubuntu changes need mozilla approval
[07:59] <dfarning> to keep trademark
[07:59] <AlexLatchford> gnomefreak: we have done everything on the list
[07:59] <gnomefreak> dfarning: its provided as a ./configure option i think
[07:59] <gnomefreak> AlexLatchford: ah ok goodie
[07:59] <AlexLatchford> lol what do you have to say..
[07:59] <dfarning> ok
[07:59] <gnomefreak> ok anyone going through bugs please assign edgy retraces to me
[08:00] <dfarning> ok
[08:00] <AlexLatchford> okay
[08:00] <gnomefreak> i want to get them out asap
[08:00] <AlexLatchford> We have any news of Thunderbird-dbg
[08:00] <gnomefreak> and since i cant always be here that doesnt mean im not infront of pc
[08:00] <gnomefreak> dfarning: thats your department
[08:00] <gnomefreak> what email was i going to write? :(
[08:00] <gnomefreak> council?
[08:01] <dfarning> Are we still missing the latest build -dbgsym
[08:01] <Admiral_Chicago> gnomefreak: will do if i see any
[08:01] <dfarning> for tb
[08:01] <gnomefreak> dfarning: we have no tb-dbg or dbgsym for edgy at all there is a dbg-sym for feisty i think
[08:01] <AlexLatchford> dfarning: I am running Feisty and there is no Thunderbird-dbg package
[08:01] <dfarning> ill follow up with martin
[08:02] <AlexLatchford> maybe I am looking in the wrong place..
[08:02] <gnomefreak> mozilla-thunderbird-dbgsym in feisty
[08:02] <gnomefreak> AlexLatchford: add universe and multiverse restricted to pittis repo :)
[08:03] <gnomefreak> its in main
[08:03] <AlexLatchford> I need pitti's own repository?
[08:03] <tonyyarusso> What is dbgsym?
[08:03] <gnomefreak> for the dbgsym you do
[08:03] <AlexLatchford> gnomefreak: aha okay, this is probably why it is not showing
[08:03] <gnomefreak> they are debugging symbols for packages
[08:03] <tonyyarusso> ah
[08:03] <gnomefreak> AlexLatchford: its not dbg so you cant get backtrace with it
[08:04] <dfarning> they are the debug symbols striped out of the executables
[08:04] <AlexLatchford> hmm okay
[08:05] <gnomefreak> ok are we done i need a smoke
[08:05] <AlexLatchford> Meeting Closed I guess
[08:05] <AlexLatchford> thanks guys

[08:59] <\sh> moins
[09:00] <ajmitch> hi
[09:00] <geser> hi
[09:00] <dholbach> heya
[09:00] <TheMuso> Hey all.
[09:00] <siretart> hey folks!
[09:00] <lfittl> hello everybody
[09:00] <shawarma> Hi!
[09:01] <Lure> hi
[09:01] <Toadstool> heya!
[09:01] <morty> Hello
[09:01] <dholbach> Ok, let's start off with the meeting
[09:01] <dholbach> First point on the agenda: "SRU Policy evaluation. How can we make it more efficient an worthwhile?"
[09:01] <ajmitch> Mithrandir had some suggestions about that
[09:02] <sistpoty> hi
[09:02] <dholbach> sistpoty added some suggestions for that at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings
[09:02] <ajmitch> we have a lot of packages stuck in testing
[09:02] <ajmitch> hi Mithrandir :)
[09:02] <sistpoty> erm... I didn't add the suggestions :P
[09:03] <sistpoty> however I agree that we have many pacakges stuck in testing... I actually wanted to do some figure for the next sru-report, but the trend seems obvious already
[09:03] <ajmitch> "lots"
[09:03] <dholbach> how many are those?
[09:03] <sistpoty> dholbach: I don't have the figures yet...
[09:04] <ajmitch> sistpoty: since your last report, do you know of any being let into -updates?
[09:04] <Mithrandir> dholbach: enough that people try to sneak in bugfixes as backports instead of going through the SRU dance.
[09:04] <sistpoty> ajmitch: at most one, but I don't remember exactly
[09:04] <Mithrandir> when people are trying to do that, it means doing the right thing (SRU) is harder than doing the wrong thing (backport)
[09:04] <crimsun> one thing that has bugged me about universe SRU is that ours is apparently more stringent than main's. Requiring 5 ACKs seems a bit far-flung.
[09:05] <sistpoty> yep
[09:05] <sistpoty> do I read the first proposal right, to skip -proposed entirely?
[09:05] <Mithrandir> crimsun: agreed, that seems a bit over the top.  Especially given that you won't ever see core packages such as X or the kernel in a universe update.
[09:06] <crimsun> I would not feel comfortable skipping release-proposed
[09:06] <sistpoty> (also there some really easy ones with trivial changes/or mere rebuilds)
[09:06] <Mithrandir> I think the ideas added there was from some suggestions I threw out without really thinking them through last night, so they might be crackful.
[09:06] <crimsun> however, we should consider dropping the 5-ACK requirement
[09:06] <dholbach> Ok, we have the following suggestions:     * Just have motu-sru ack then upload to -updates
[09:06] <dholbach>     * Go back to old policy where SRU didn't need approvals, just MOTU uploads. Perhaps still using -proposed for higher risk or high profile updates.
[09:06] <dholbach>     * Form testing team to get testing done faster. The current bottleneck seems to be mostly in getting testing.
[09:06] <dholbach>     * (ADDED) Reduce the number of ACKs.
[09:06] <siretart> crimsun: like in requiring 2 or 3 ACKs or dropping it entirely?
[09:07] <sistpoty> hm... ideally I'd like to see every motu being able to upload directly to -proposed, and have the checking done only prior to -updates
[09:07] <sistpoty> however that comes with another problem:
[09:07] <dholbach> Apart from reducing the number of ACKs, I think the testing team is a very good idea.
[09:07] <Mithrandir> the idea of the first one was to have the current process, but upload to -updates and not -proposed and thereby have -updates be the testing and the safe area.  It means we can get fixes in quite a bit quicker, but also that enabling universe -updates might open you to lightly/not tested fixes.
[09:07] <ajmitch> sistpoty: I thought that's how it was meant to be now
[09:07] <sistpoty> ajmitch: no, it's still going through -proposed first
[09:07] <crimsun> dholbach: / siretart: dropping a 5-ACK requirement seems like a good idea if we get an SRU verification team (similar to main's) in place
[09:08] <sistpoty> well the other problem we have is that most of the updates are not done by motu's but rather by motu-hopefuls
[09:08] <crimsun> in essence, replacing the 5 ACKs with 1
[09:08] <Mithrandir> remember that creating another team does not magically increase the amount of manpower available.
[09:08] <ajmitch> sistpoty: they have to be checked by 1 MOTU anyway then
[09:08] <ajmitch> especially when you get the same people in 5 teams
[09:09] <sistpoty> ajmitch: yep... currently that's motu-sru doing the checks
[09:09] <sistpoty> ajmitch: however I'd also like to have *one* person responsible for an update, so that would probably suggest to transfer the responsibility to the motu sponsoring
[09:09] <sistpoty> (which could then as well be bad)
[09:09] <ajmitch> that's what a sponsor should do anyway :)
[09:10] <\sh> sistpoty: how many StableReleaseUpdates do we have daily/weekly/monthly?
[09:10] <siretart> \sh: enough. really..
[09:10] <ajmitch> \sh: and how many don't get done because of the long slow process?
[09:10] <crimsun> right. I propose we drop the 5-ACK requirement and just have the sponsoring MOTU check it.
[09:10] <sistpoty> \sh: currently I'd say ~2 per week, with 26 currently ongoing
[09:10] <crimsun> (we should be making this more lightweight instead of adding another team)
[09:10] <ajmitch> crimsun: agreed
[09:11] <sistpoty> \sh: however when we first introduced the policy, the numbers where far higher
[09:11] <siretart> consent, even.
[09:11] <ajmitch> crimsun: so make -proposed open for all uploads, and have 1 signoff before it gets pushed to -updates?
[09:11] <Mithrandir> given that universe is so lightly covered before release, I think we will always have a fairly high amount of SRUs done to fix critical bugs there, so we should just plan for that.
[09:12] <dholbach> was the -proposed stage the bottleneck?
[09:12] <Toadstool> ajmitch: how do you determine whether it can be signed off or not? wait for someone to confirm there's no regression?
[09:12] <crimsun> ajmitch: a step forward, yes. We should keep the minimum aging period, though.
[09:12] <Mithrandir> dholbach: many updates seem to get into -proposed, but never get uploaded to -proposed.
[09:12] <sistpoty> dholbach: currently it is (or rather the testing phase there)
[09:12] <ajmitch> dholbach: it seems to be
[09:12] <Mithrandir> uh, never get uploaded to -updates
[09:13] <crimsun> Toadstool: the minimum aging period combined with testing should alleviate that
[09:13] <dholbach> ok, so making -proposed open for all uploads does not really help the problem, right?
[09:13] <ajmitch> Toadstool: having at least 1 person testing is helpful
[09:13] <ajmitch> dholbach: depends if you still want motu-sru approving anything for -proposed
[09:13] <sistpoty> at which point would motu-sru then review the diffs? or not at all?
[09:14] <\sh> sistpoty: thinking about manpower and time: how many packages are tested and checked from the sru team during one week? (also thinking, that this work is lost from the normal motu work)
[09:14] <dholbach> I think that having an initial check is a good thing
[09:14] <sistpoty> \sh: sru-team currently doesn't test updates, but only reviews the debdiffs
[09:14] <sistpoty> \sh: and this happens (apart from a few exceptions) very timely
[09:15] <siretart> since we have enough members now, it seems.
[09:15] <crimsun> motu-sru shouldn't block release-proposed IMO. Making fixes widely available via release-proposed ASAP seems like a good idea.
[09:15] <sistpoty> Mithrandir: is it possible from a lp side to have uploads to -proposed pass through as is?
[09:16] <sistpoty> crimsun: I agree
[09:16] <Mithrandir> sistpoty: it'd require manual action from an archive team member, but doing that either when prodded or on archive days would be fine.
[09:17] <\sh> siretart: well, but checking the debdiffs, doesn't mean that the package is alright. And if there are no users who are actively testing, it won't get uploaded to -updates, right? so the workload of checking debdiffs is useless somehow, until there is at least one user who tells us: "Package works for me" , or did I misunderstood something? :)
[09:17] <sistpoty> ok
[09:17] <ajmitch> afaik there are 3 archive days a week no, so that's no blocker
[09:17] <sistpoty> \sh: right. because of that we have the stage in -proposed
[09:18] <sistpoty> \sh: however checking the debdiffs is not useless actually ;)
[09:18] <dholbach> requiring the sponsor to test and having a team of testers test it would help with that step, wouldn't it?
[09:19] <sistpoty> sure, it would, but also lowering the number of acks needed would as well
[09:19] <dholbach> that's what I meant: one sponsor ACK, one testing team ACK
[09:20] <dholbach> that's just a proposal - you guys who work on the motu-sru team know better than I do, if it makes sense.
[09:20] <sistpoty> how about the following: any motu can upload to -proposed. one member of sru needs to give green lights for -updates + 5 works for me within 5 days, 3 within 10 days and > 10 days needs another ack from motu-sru (to sort out simple stuff like rebuilds from tougher updates)?
[09:20] <Toadstool> dholbach: so motu-sru approval is not required anymore in your proposal?
[09:20] <\sh> sistpoty: you know what I mean, checking the debdiff, but no one to test, the package will not leave -proposed, so the work is "vertane zeit" ( I don't know the english translation)
[09:21] <crimsun> Ok, so how does this proposal sound?  1) Remove the pre-upload-to-proposed ACK requirement (make -proposed open to ubuntu-dev without motu-sru approval).  2) The sponsoring ubuntu-dev member is responsible for gathering testing with 2 ACKs, which must be documented on the LP bug and in the final -updates changelog.  3) The minimum aging period of 7 days in -proposed remains.  4) motu-sru goes away.
[09:21] <sistpoty> \sh: hehe, you mean because no update actually makes it, right? *g*
[09:21] <\sh> sistpoty: yepp
[09:21] <sistpoty> \sh: sure
[09:21] <dholbach> Toadstool: that's a different question :)
[09:22] <Mithrandir> crimsun: sounds fine with me.
[09:23] <ajmitch> crimsun: I like it
[09:23] <crimsun> From my perspective in motu-sru, we've really only encountered a few true discussion-worthy ones. The remainders are trivial "oh, looks good, +1".
[09:23] <siretart> crimsun: how many testers do have to confirm the fix with your proposal?
[09:23] <Toadstool> crimsun: looks good.
[09:23] <dholbach> crimsun: I like it too.
[09:23] <crimsun> siretart: two (including the ubuntu-dev sponsor and one tester)
[09:23] <Mithrandir> of course, people are allowed to ask for second opinions if they feel an update needs more review.
[09:24] <crimsun> Mithrandir: precisely
[09:24] <rmjb> can ubuntu-qa assist with testing?
[09:24] <sistpoty> crimsun: I generally like to see normal motu's more involved in sru's and take more responsibility there. sounds great for me
[09:24] <dholbach> rmjb: we could ask ubuntu-bugsquad@ for help with that
[09:25] <crimsun> anyone else have thoughts on the proposal given above, and/or can we "vote"?
[09:25] <sistpoty> let's vote
[09:25] <ajmitch> +1 for crimsun's proposal
[09:25] <sistpoty> +1
[09:25] <\sh> crimsun +1 :)
[09:25] <dholbach> +1 too
[09:26] <TheMuso> +1
[09:26] <crimsun> +1
[09:26] <Toadstool> +1
[09:26] <ajmitch> sounds like it's approved, what's next on the list? :)
[09:26] <sistpoty> how do we do the transition for this policy?
[09:27] <siretart> +1 and +1 :)
[09:27] <sistpoty> unsubscribe motu-sru from all bugs and subscribing universe-sponsors for the ones which don't have a motu as assignee?
[09:27] <ajmitch> sistpoty: find everything with 2 ACKs & get it pushed to -updates
[09:27] <dholbach> We need to document it and announce it to the public, especially to the TB.
[09:27] <crimsun> sistpoty: sounds good for starters
[09:28] <Mithrandir> ajmitch: somebody needs to actually do the uploads, though.
[09:28] <siretart> can we just remove the group 'motu-sru'?
[09:28] <ajmitch> excellent one *less* team :)
[09:28] <ajmitch> Mithrandir: ah true, they don't get manually shoved across, do they?
[09:28] <crimsun> siretart: that sounds good
[09:28] <sistpoty> well, I'd like to see all SRU's from non-motus which have been sponsored by motu-sru being taken care for... then we can remove motu-sru ;)
[09:29] <sistpoty> but I guess I'll do some uploads to -updates after the meeting ;)
[09:29] <Mithrandir> ajmitch: they need to be uploaded.
[09:29] <dholbach> Nice. I'll update the Freeze Exception page and write an announcement.
[09:29] <sistpoty> great dholbach
[09:29] <sistpoty> ok, next item?
[09:30] <dholbach> jono asks: "From asking around, it seems the project needs help with (a) outreach and getting new people involved (b) getting people excited about MOTU and (c) defining some direction for the project. Is this a fair assessment?"
[09:30] <dholbach> I'm not sure it's a good idea to discuss it in a meeting, since we could spend quite some time in here talking about the topic.
[09:31] <dholbach> What do you think about having some minutes of brainstorming as 'data collection' for another meeting or discussion on the mailing list?
[09:31] <TheMuso> dholbach: I would have to agree.
[09:31] <\sh> dholbach: I think a better question is: how are the other community driven projects solving this problems? mostly a hen and egg problem ;)
[09:31] <crimsun> I propose we migrate that discussion ubuntu-motu@ .
[09:31] <dholbach> \sh: It's definitely another question. :)
[09:31] <sistpoty> I guess it might make sense to have jono here to actually discuss it, but brainstorming sounds good
[09:31] <crimsun> +to
[09:31] <siretart> just one small point here:
[09:32] <siretart> this weekend, at chemnitzer linux tage, I had a talk about developer communities in ubuntu
[09:32] <dholbach> siretart: nice - you have some slides up somewhere? :)
[09:32] <siretart> the ppl were quite impressed about that we have so few developers for so many packages
[09:32] <siretart> and that ubuntu is such a young distro
[09:33] <dholbach> I hope you all feel patted on the back.
[09:33] <siretart> dholbach: sure, get them at http://wiki.tauware.de/blog:clt2007 - directly: http://wiki.tauware.de/_media/blog:ubuntu_communities.odp?id=blog%3Aclt2007&cache=cache
[09:33] <\sh> siretart: regarding MOTU or complete ubuntu-dev?
[09:33] <siretart> german, though
[09:33] <siretart> \sh: both
[09:33] <ajmitch> dholbach: most of the thanks should probably go to debian, though
[09:33] <siretart> keep in mind it was a 30min talk, I couldn't go into details
[09:34] <ajmitch> rmjb: that's part of what we need to discuss - how to get people involved that can't spend several hours a day on it :)
[09:34] <sistpoty> rmjb: #ubuntu-motu is a good starting place ;)
[09:34] <crimsun> ajmitch: (right, given the ratio of merge to syncs)
[09:34] <siretart> however, I really think we have way too few developers, espc. in universe land. I  don't have concrete ideas however how to fix this
[09:34] <\sh> the difference is: doing OSS work for a living, and get money for it, or just do it as a hobby...
[09:34] <dholbach> ajmitch: MOTU is doing a very good job, but we're standing on the shoulders of giants. :-)
[09:35] <siretart> personal package archives could improve things. is there any news on this topic?
[09:35] <ajmitch> siretart: we have quite a few developers, but most are inactive
[09:35] <ajmitch> we talked recently about sending out a nice email to inactive motus inviting them to get involved again
[09:35] <crimsun> testing for SRU in -proposed is a good way to get involved, too
[09:35] <siretart> ajmitch: right. I'm talking about 'active' developers. but it's quite hard to define 'active' contributors.
[09:35] <sistpoty> yep... and we need to make more things clear on the mailing lists imho... so that casual hopefuls know what's going on even if they're not on irc
[09:36] <dholbach> ajmitch: gpocentek and I are working on that
[09:36] <TheMuso> One thing I've noticed is that if one is out of the loop too long, it can take a while to catch up to the latest goings on.
[09:36] <dholbach> ok let's start to mention problems and possible solutions as bullet points for 3-4 minutes - try not to get too deep into discussions
[09:36] <TheMuso> Because things change so fast.
[09:36] <Toadstool> true
[09:36] <sistpoty> TheMuso: right
[09:36] <ajmitch> dholbach: great
[09:36] <crimsun> As for one route to bring in hopefuls:  it would be nice to have instructions for setting up various release chroots to help with testing. I can work on that.
[09:36] <sistpoty> * motu-school sessions
[09:37] <dholbach> * activity on the mailing list
[09:37] <ajmitch> * finding a place to start working
[09:37] <dholbach> * more patting on the back
[09:37] <Toadstool> (more hugs? :)
[09:37] <dholbach> * (a) outreach and getting new people involved
[09:37] <dholbach> *  (b) getting people excited about MOTU
[09:37] <TheMuso> sistpoty: Thats the impression I've got a couple of times when I have been gone for a while in the past, and have come back to help out again, and found myself having to find out the latest happenings.
[09:37] <dholbach> ;-)
[09:37] <rmjb> there seem to be diff types of MOTU, mergers, bug fixsers, packagers, maybe different pages for these different types of tasks?
[09:38] <\sh> * spreading curiosity to the people / * why should I work on Ubuntu, and what are the benefits for me and my daily life
[09:38] <rmjb> at least to help hopefuls ease into tasks
[09:38] <dholbach> * better structured documentation
[09:38] <\sh> I mean it serious...those questions I get here in my office..."why are you working on ubuntu, if you don't earn money with it"
[09:38] <TheMuso> Could the packaging guide possibly be improved?
[09:39] <ajmitch> TheMuso: if there's someone willing to improve it, sure
[09:39] <dholbach> more (team work - not administrative) teams
[09:39] <TheMuso> I have never really looked at it myself, but people may be daunted by it.
[09:39] <crimsun> TheMuso: yes, and there's work on that
[09:39] <rmjb> the packaging guide is good... the end could have some tips and tricks though
[09:39] <sistpoty> * monthly summary of all policy changes + todo list on the mailing list?
[09:40] <Toadstool> sistpoty: that'd be great
[09:40] <dholbach> * more scheduled QA sessions
[09:40] <crimsun> (random thought: why don't we turn the packaging guide into a cookbook, ala the O'Reilly series?)
[09:40] <xerosis> * mentors to ease new people in
[09:40] <bddebian> We have mentors
[09:41] <sistpoty> xerosis: we have mentors already... maybe that's in a too less prominent place on the wiki`
[09:41] <sistpoty> ? even
[09:41] <dholbach> ok, maybe let's close the list here - this should be a good start for more discussions among our team and with jono - let's move on.
[09:41] <xerosis> apologies
[09:41] <siretart> dholbach++
[09:41] <TheMuso> I think some MOTUs that don't currently mentor should consider doing it at some point.
[09:41] <sistpoty> dholbach: +1
[09:41] <dholbach> Let's have a look at our TODO lists.
[09:41] <sistpoty> (and I should stop mentoring, as I'm a particular bad mentor :P)
[09:41] <dholbach> sistpoty mentions "what's missing (php4-transition? what else)"
[09:42] <dholbach> xerosis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentors
[09:42] <sistpoty> dholbach: well, php4 is about to be removed... let me look at the mail back again
[09:42] <dholbach> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO
[09:42] <dholbach> didn't we have a unmetdeps list somewhere?
[09:42] <dholbach> or somebody who agreed to file a bunch of bugs on it?
[09:42] <\sh> php4-transition to 20050606+lfs?
[09:43] <dholbach> Is somebody here who'd like to do that?
[09:43] <\sh> I already uploaded many php4 packages to rebuild on latest php4 api change
[09:43] <dholbach> \sh: we're talking about removal
[09:43] <\sh> dholbach: ah
[09:43] <sistpoty> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2007-February/001288.html
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> crimsun: (would it be able to cover everything that way?  Seems pretty good as is)
[09:43] <crimsun> tonyyarusso: offband to -motu, please
[09:44] <dholbach> What's missing on  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO ?
[09:45] <dholbach> Is somebody here who'd like to file a bunch of unmetdeps bugs?
[09:45] <ajmitch> results of an archive rebuild (yet to come)
[09:45] <dholbach> ajmitch: do you know what's the status there?
[09:45] <dholbach> ajmitch: (archive rebuild)
[09:45] <ajmitch> no idea about archive rebuild
[09:45] <sistpoty> there was some smaller thing as well iirc, but I cannot remember exactly what it was
[09:46] <dholbach> that'd be nice
[09:46] <sistpoty> ajmitch: that'd be great
[09:46] <dholbach> http://daniel.holba.ch/bzr/massfile/
[09:46] <ajmitch> yeah I have that checked out somewhere
[09:46] <dholbach> :)
[09:46] <dholbach> anything else we're missing on that list?
[09:47] <dholbach> did anybody spend some time to tag bugs as 'bitesize' or 'packaging'?
[09:47] <dholbach> should we call out a Universe HUG DAY or something?
[09:47] <bddebian> Probably a good idea
[09:47] <sistpoty> dholbach: sure... was just about to mention that ;)
[09:47] <dholbach> rock
[09:47] <dholbach> who does it? :)
[09:47] <crimsun> dholbach: that would be a good idea, and it's an easy way to get people involved this week
[09:47] <TheMuso> sorry guys, gotta run.
[09:47] <ajmitch> dholbach can distribute hugs
[09:48] <dholbach> hehe :)
[09:48] <sistpoty> hehe
[09:48] <dholbach> ok, ajmitch will file unmetdeps bugs, I'll try to find out what's up with the rebuilds
[09:49] <dholbach> who'd join Universe HUG DAY to work through universe bugs?
[09:49] <dholbach> who'd announce it?
[09:49] <bddebian> I would try to join (work has been brutal lately)
[09:49] <crimsun> I'm up for working on tagging universe bugs as bitesize/etc.
[09:49] <sistpoty> I'll try my best, but currently I need to cancel many tasks due to my thesis :(
[09:50] <dholbach> ok, I'd join in as well
[09:50] <dholbach> friday?
[09:50] <crimsun> Friday sounds good
[09:50] <dholbach> I can write the announce
[09:50] <dholbach> anything else for the TODO list?
[09:50] <Toadstool> hmm, i'll try to join too
[09:50] <sistpoty> I guess everone should just add s.th. if he finds another thing, ok?
[09:50] <dholbach> ok
[09:51] <Toadstool> (quite busy at work though)
[09:51] <dholbach> siretart asks "What to do with broken packages we know about?"
[09:51] <ajmitch> dholbach: blog it on planet :)
[09:52] <bddebian> dholbach / siretart: Like?
[09:52] <siretart> we had another example today: xserver-xgl:
[09:52] <dholbach> "there are packages, which we know that we won't be able to fix them before release. This includes e.g. unmet dependencies. Can we do better than leaving them in the release?"
[09:52] <bddebian> Ahh
[09:52] <Toadstool> dholbach: remove'em from the archive? :)
[09:53] <crimsun> concerning xserver-xgl: I'll look at it tonight, since I have access to hardware that would be affected
[09:53] <siretart> bddebian: xserver-xgl got broken by the xorg 7.2 upload to main, and the diff to current git head is way too big to review
[09:53] <dholbach> I don't think we should try to find a too easy solution to the problem in five minutes of a meeting.
[09:53] <Mithrandir> Toadstool: that is painful when we next time sync from Debian.
[09:53] <siretart> bddebian: other packages include packages with unmet deps
[09:53] <Toadstool> Mithrandir: yeah I know, just kidding
[09:53] <Mithrandir> we've so far fixed unmetdeps in SRUs, which I think is sane enough.
[09:54] <ajmitch> crimsun: thanks
[09:54] <sistpoty> yep... and sometimes contributors contribute fixes for sru's :)
[09:54] <siretart> I don't have any concrete proposal, I just find it sad that we release with so many broken package, and for many, we know that they are broken
[09:54] <dholbach> I'm not sure there's a general answer to the question.
[09:54] <crimsun> we should really push to get those RC fixes from Debian in before feisty release
[09:55] <siretart> I compare with debian, where broken packages get removed before release. but that's not really applicable to ubuntu, I know
[09:55] <Toadstool> if the amount of really broken packages stays reasonably low, we can take care of them with SRUs, right?
[09:55] <sistpoty> I guess we should try to remove packages that are broken which have been removed from debian some time ago
[09:55] <crimsun> unmet deps can be resolved via SRU, so I'm not really worried. Perhaps we should start with known _regressions_ from edgy first.
[09:55] <ajmitch> siretart: that's because they're removed from testing, but can be left in unstable
[09:55] <Mithrandir> siretart: we don't have testing (as in the distribution)
[09:55] <siretart> ajmitch: right
[09:56] <Mithrandir> we could maybe remove the binaries..
[09:56] <dholbach> sistpoty: i think that happens regularly (debian-removed -> ubuntu-removed)
[09:56] <siretart> Mithrandir: we don't have some other solution either
[09:56] <siretart> Mithrandir: removing binaries sounds like a good idea to me!
[09:56] <sistpoty> dholbach: iirc there are some left... maybe if they have ubuntu changes?
[09:56] <dholbach> sistpoty: dunno
[09:56] <Mithrandir> siretart: it'll require binary NEW then, which is significantly less work than source NEW.
[09:56] <Mithrandir> siretart: I'd need to discuss it with the archive team.
[09:56] <ajmitch> siretart: btw about xserver-xgl - the majority of the debdiff is the nasty bundled mesa copy
[09:57] <sistpoty> siretart: removing the binary sounds like a good idea
[09:57] <dholbach> ajmitch: that's info we need in the bug report :)
[09:57] <ajmitch> dholbach: it's already in the diffstat :)
[09:57] <siretart> Mithrandir: I'd expect binary removals to happen really short before release. binary new shouldn't be too much of a problem at the beginning of the release cycle
[09:58] <Mithrandir> siretart: uh, have you looked at NEW when we start syncing from Debian?
[09:58] <siretart> Mithrandir: it's long, I assume :)
[09:58] <siretart> Mithrandir: but do you really do an extensive NEW review for every NEW package from debian?
[09:59] <dholbach> so there's only the possibility to remove binary packages as a reasonable measure it seems.
[09:59] <Mithrandir> siretart: I've done so so far at least, yes.  But as I said, binary NEW is a lot less work than source NEW.
[09:59] <siretart> I imagine
[09:59] <Mithrandir> (since it doesn't require checking all licences, just making sure the packages are somewhat sane)
[10:00] <sistpoty> ok, I guess we'll just wait for a resolution from ubuntu-archive on this one, right?
[10:00] <dholbach> right
[10:00] <ajmitch> ok, so next meeting time?
[10:00] <dholbach> any other business?
[10:00] <ajmitch> :)
[10:00] <sistpoty> Mithrandir: can you inform us of the result please?
[10:00] <bddebian> yeah, I need a raise ;-P
[10:00] <Mithrandir> sistpoty: yes.  Can you mail me reminding me to do so?
[10:01] <sistpoty> Mithrandir: sure, or I'll just ping you :P
[10:01] <dholbach> ok, no other business - how about in three weeks?
[10:01] <ajmitch> ok, what time of day?
[10:01] <dholbach> so we keep on rolling with the MC meeting
[10:01] <sistpoty> erm... wasn't there some overlapping with TB meeting (or was that MC meeting)?
[10:01] <crimsun> after 20:00 if in 3 weeks
[10:02] <ajmitch> sistpoty: with TB
[10:02] <Mithrandir> sistpoty: sure, that's fine.  It's just that it's 22:00 here now and I was planning on heading to bed soonish, not work. :-)
[10:02] <crimsun> because TB is at 20:00 in 3 weeks
[10:02] <ajmitch> Mithrandir: I'll poke you about f-spot uvf tomorrow then :)
[10:02] <Mithrandir> ajmitch: sure
[10:02] <dholbach> let's do it before TB then
[10:02] <dholbach> :)
[10:02] <crimsun> 18:00?
[10:02] <ajmitch> dholbach: or +- 12 hours
[10:02] <dholbach> sounds good to me
[10:03] <ajmitch> to allow people in australia to make it to the meeting
[10:03] <sistpoty> ajmitch: yep, rotating seems like a fair thing to do
[10:03] <sistpoty> 8.00 UTC?
[10:03] <dholbach> fine with me too
[10:04] <ajmitch> sounds fair
[10:04] <sistpoty> +1 here as well

[10:04] <bddebian> heh
[10:04] <dholbach> WFM
[10:05] <dholbach> who writes the announce?
[10:05] <sistpoty> hm... WFM always reminds me of WTF *g*
[10:05] <sistpoty> I can do it
[10:05] <dholbach> ok, excellent
[10:05] <sistpoty> btw.: is anyone doing the minutes?
[10:05] <dholbach> thanks everbody for showing up to the meeting :)
[10:06] <ajmitch> thanks
[10:06] <bddebian> Thanks.  Sorry I'm not as "involved" lately :'-(
[10:07] <crimsun> sistpoty: I started but got volunteered for another meeting here. Can you do them?
[10:07] <sistpoty> crimsun: ok, will do
[10:07] <crimsun> thank
[10:07] <crimsun> +s
[10:07] <LaserJock> sorry guys, really late
[10:07] <dholbach> you ROCK
[10:07] <sistpoty> bddebian? you *not* involved? then I'm completely away from the project :P
[10:08] <bddebian> pfft :-)
[10:08] <bddebian> LaserJock: Just in time ;-P
[10:09] <LaserJock> all over?
[10:09] <Toadstool> yep
[10:09] <ajmitch> LaserJock: yep, just finished
[10:09] <ajmitch> sistpoty: don't worry, I'm not even remotely in touch with the project :)
[10:10] <sistpoty> haha
[10:10] <LaserJock> :(
[10:10] <LaserJock> I didn't get volunteered for anything did I?
[10:10] <ajmitch> bddebian: yes?
[10:10] <ajmitch> LaserJock: only a little bit
[10:11] <sistpoty> wohoo I don't need to do motu-sru reports any longer :)
[10:11] <Toadstool> heh
[10:11] <bddebian> ajmitch: Just for fun, sorry :-)
[10:11] <LaserJock> sistpoty: what's the new policy?
[10:12] <ajmitch> 09:21 < crimsun> Ok, so how does this proposal sound?  1) Remove the pre-upload-to-proposed ACK requirement (make -proposed open to ubuntu-dev without
[10:12] <ajmitch>                  motu-sru approval).  2) The sponsoring ubuntu-dev member is responsible for gathering testing with 2 ACKs, which must be documented on the
[10:12] <ajmitch>                  LP bug and in the final -updates changelog.  3) The minimum aging period of 7 days in -proposed remains.  4) motu-sru goes away.
[10:12] <ajmitch> bah, that pasted *really* badly
[10:13] <sistpoty> poor ajmitch
[10:13] <sistpoty> ;)
[10:13] <ajmitch> stuck in windows at work
[10:13] <crimsun> sistpoty: yes, that was the nefarious plan =)
[10:13] <bddebian> PuTTY r0x j00

[15:34]  * rolling 2k is back
[15:47] <bazhang> corrupted files on the internet are suspicious
[16:26] <bazhang> I'm going to start removing those that continue
[16:27] <ikonia> I'm just not happy with this guy making stuff up
[16:27] <bazhang> #ubuntu is not the place for it though
[16:27] <ikonia> depends what he's saying, he's making false claims of why he/others shold not use ubuntu, but the general discussion, probably not
[16:34] <bazhang> we'd have to ban most of the channel if it was based on making false claims

[09:17] <xubuntu505> 14.04 loads in 3 hours... "Hard disk errors check to cancel press C"
[09:52] <xubuntuuser> hey xubuntu devs, i have a question regarding xubuntu 16.04. i think it will be released end of the month. since i have to boxes where i want to do a new xubuntu installation, i wonder if i should take the current daily build or beta. I think it might be easier to upgrade it to final release than 15.10.
[09:53] <xubuntuuser> *two boxes
[09:58] <xubuntuuser> afaik when using installing the current daily build i just need to to dist-upgrade when final release will be there .. right? because it uses the same sources
[10:53] <xubuntu07w> Any way to uninstall Xubuntu 14.10 and GRUB without doing a bootrec.exe /fixmbr?
[12:42] <Afdla> If I lock my screen while laptop lid is closed, I can't get the picture to appear on my external monitor
[12:42] <Afdla> If I move my mouse and press keyboard buttons, nothing
[12:42] <Afdla> BUT, if I open the laptop lid, I get picture again
[12:43] <Afdla> What could be preventing the display from coming up when the lid is closed?
[12:43] <Afdla> Tried to mess with the power manager settings with no luck
[19:13] <Noneatme> wee
[19:13] <Noneatme> I finally switched my main rig to xubuntu
[19:18] <krytarik> !yay | Noneatme
[20:05] <Xubuntu_VM> Hey everyone
[20:05] <knome> hello
[21:52] <Noneatme> any Idea how I can set up a kvm hdd on a different device?
[21:56] <mrkramps> Noneatme, probably you can raise your chances getting an answer when asking in #kvm ;)


[07:02] <lifeless> cjwatson: oh good
[14:17] <cjwatson> wgrant: I brought https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad/snap-allow-network/+merge/336924 up to date with the changes you suggested to db-snap-allow-network
[14:29] <cjwatson> wgrant: Also if we want to get https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad/inrelease-by-hash/+merge/336675 in place for bionic (which I think ideally we would) that'll need to be soon


[02:48] <izzaboo> hallo
[02:50] <izzaboo> I just made a LiveUSB stick with Lubuntu 12.04 on it (with persistence). Gonna try to resurrect his old laptop. My question...
[02:51] <izzaboo> ...is about accessing data we might create/save in the casper-rw filesystem while USB stick is mounted but not as boot volume.
[02:51] <izzaboo> any good answers here or know of any on the web?
[04:10] <mi3>  /j #archlinux
[04:13] <izzaboo> hi again. i asked a Q earlier than had to run off in a hurry
[04:13] <izzaboo> sorry
[06:24] <ekaj> Is there a way to change your broadcast address?
[06:48] <kanliot> what is a broadcast addr?
[07:06] <bioterror>         inet <IP_ADDRESS>  netmask <IP_ADDRESS>  broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:06] <bioterror> it's the one that broadcasts
[07:11] <ekaj> can you change it?
[07:13] <bioterror> why?
[07:13] <bioterror> can you explain what you're after
[07:13] <ekaj> trying to get my internet to work, figured it'd be helpful for the inet and bcast addresses to be the same
[07:14] <bioterror> no
[07:14] <ekaj> I can ping websites and get their IP, but can't connect or receive and packets back
[07:14] <ekaj> can also ping other computers on the network and them me, but no internet
[07:14] <ekaj> Any ideas?
[07:15] <ekaj> The internet works when I don't have 'Manual' settings for the connection, but I need the IP address to stay the same.
[07:15] <bioterror> it has nothing to do with the broadcast
[07:15] <ekaj> Well, changing the address probably wouldn't hurt, but I don't know.
[07:16] <bioterror> ekaj, and you have dns configured properly?
[07:17] <ekaj> I assume so, no idea
[07:17] <bioterror> do you have dns server(s) configured?
[07:17] <ekaj> yes, <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:17] <ekaj> the XP box works fine with it
[07:18] <bioterror> am I understanding right that you're building a network?
[07:18] <ekaj> yes
[07:19] <bioterror> if you manually configure ip address, you probably should add nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf
[07:20] <bioterror> add line 'nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>' for example
[07:21] <Unit193> 12.04 does the fancy dnsmasq stuff.
[07:21] <Unit193> !resolvconf
[07:21] <ekaj> wtf is the file manager
[07:21] <ekaj> never mind, "File ManageR"
[07:24] <ekaj> err, how do I edit it
[07:29] <ekaj> I'll work on it tomorrow.
[08:17] <kanliot> i'm trying to get 2 montors to work.  but the virtual desktop size is still set too low for my monitors to be placed side by side on the virtual desktop.  help!
[08:17] <kanliot> or better....please help
[08:54] <morri> hi guys, still having problems with the display in lubuntu 12.04- only that it doesnt seem to be able to access the display- it shows the splash screen alright and in the right resolution but I can only access a session with a working screen over openbox, but not over a lubuntu session. the screen goes blank and switches off if I do so
[09:30] <mi3> hi kanliot !
[09:30] <mi3> welcome back, sir !
[09:39] <kanliot> sup man
[09:40] <kanliot> sup mi3
[09:40] <morri> guys, still having problems with the display in lubuntu 12.04- only that it doesnt seem to be able to access the display- it shows the splash screen alright and in the right resolution but I can only access a session with a working screen over openbox, but not over a lubuntu session. the screen goes blank and switches off if I do so
[09:40] <mi3> hey kanliot !
[09:41] <kanliot> mi3 are you in offtopic?
[09:41] <mi3> kanliot, I will meet you there.
[09:42] <kanliot> did you use arandr to change your resolution?
[09:42] <kanliot> or something like that?
[09:42] <kanliot> morri
[09:42] <kanliot> it sounds like you need to change back to a low-resolution that your monitor can display
[09:43] <morri> i never changed it in the first place
[09:43] <kanliot> was it working before?
[09:43] <morri> just a couple of days ago the monitor switched to an atrocious 1024+768 and 60 hz refreshing rate
[09:43] <morri> which was making me sick looking at it literally
[09:43] <morri> yeah was working fine for a year
[09:44] <morri> in openbox and in the splash screen it shows the default resolution(1152 *8xx
[09:45] <morri> Ni idea what the difference is really in the past days
[09:45] <morri> I can give you the dmesg if it helps you
[09:45] <kanliot> can you get to console with control+alt+f1
[09:45] <kanliot> ?
[09:48] <morri> yea I get into the console- thats how i reboot my pc
[09:49] <kanliot> do you log-in automatically?
[09:49] <kanliot> and does it mess up at the login screen
[09:49] <kanliot> btw i donno what i'm doing i'm just guessing
[09:50] <kanliot> but i'm thinking you can set resolution in the console, i'm not sure
[09:51] <morri> no i don't login automatically
[09:51] <morri> i tried setting it via console but it said it can't access display
[09:52] <morri> and the spalsh and login are absolutely fine
[09:52] <kanliot> theres a bash command to fix that
[09:52] <kanliot> DISPLAY=0:0 or something like that
[09:52] <morri> http://pastebin.com/NKbCzMxu
[09:53] <morri> this is the dmesg for the graphics driver
[09:53] <kanliot> doesn't help
[09:53] <morri> ok
[09:54] <kanliot> i suppose you could find out why lubuntu is changing the screen when you log in
[09:54] <kanliot> but i don't know
[09:54] <kanliot> try that display thing
[09:54] <kanliot> otherwise i donno
[09:54] <morri> as said it used to work fine and all of a sardine it started first going into the wrong resolution and atrocious refresh rate and after than none at all
[09:54] <morri> ok no probs
[10:06] <OptikKore> having a problem installing lubuntu on my aspire one netbook
[10:07] <OptikKore> it just freezes during the boot process every time, even if i do nomodeset
[10:07] <kanliot> whats the prob
[10:07] <OptikKore> and i mean the boot process of the setup
[10:08] <kanliot> please explain
[10:10] <OptikKore> i cant explain because you see lubuntu on the screen and then in cycles through the dots and then eventually freezes
[10:10] <kanliot> did you check the disk?
[10:10] <OptikKore>  yup, everything was fine
[10:11] <kanliot> i'm not sure but if you get dots, you don't need nomodeset right?
[10:11] <kanliot> anyhow i'm no help
[10:11] <kanliot> you could try the #ubuntu channel
[10:11] <kanliot> or wait here for someone else
[10:11] <kanliot> or the beginners section of ubuntuforums.com
[10:12] <kanliot> up 2 u
[10:12] <OptikKore> alright, thank you for ur time
[10:12] <kanliot> you're welcome
[16:01] <smile> bye :)
[18:31] <smile> bye :)
[21:29] <ekaj> DHCP client ID is the IP you'd like your computer to be.. right?


[21:50] <bcnjelly> Good morning
[22:08] <bcnjelly> Hi guys, I've got a question about updating my Mint. In the past it was fairly snappy and took a few minutes at most, but as of this morning I'm struggling to complete the 'sudo apt-get upgrade' successfully.
[22:09] <bcnjelly> I've re-connected my NBN and rebooted my machine but I'm still waiting for it to finish, everything else seems to be working just fine but I'm wondering if there's something wrong at my end?
[22:11] <bcnjelly> I keep seeing: Operation too slow. Less than 10 bytes transferred in the last 120 seconds.
[22:12] <bcnjelly> But there's nothing else using my connection, and if I check local news I can stream video in HD
[22:13] <bcnjelly> I've configured my mirror to the fastest server for me in AU
[22:15] <bcnjelly> But it's always been that same mirror, so I'm struggling to understand why it's taking so long, can anyone please let me know if they're having difficulty updating?
[22:18] <bcnjelly> Sorry if I asked this question in the wrong channel
[22:22] <bcnjelly> I'll refer this to #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org .. Have a nice day :0)


[05:23] <orethrius> Just wondering if anyone knows whether BCM4329 is currently broken.
[05:24] <orethrius> Or if I'm just overlooking something fairly obvious on the b43 front.
[09:35] <nperry> In gnome-shell how come the deafult theme isn't working, showing some horrible orange bar
[09:38] <robin0800> nperry, did you install gnome shell?
[09:39] <nperry> Yeah
[09:39] <nperry> I'm in it now
[09:40] <robin0800> nperry, well it works for me after I installed though its unusable as it crashes all the time
[09:42] <nperry> Seems ok so far
[09:43] <nperry> There isn't a serpate package that contains it
[09:45] <robin0800> nperry, any way both unity and unity 2d work
[09:46] <robin0800> nperry, there is a package its in the software centre only for ubuntu 11.10 alpha2
[09:50] <nperry> WHats it called?
[09:57] <robin0800> nperry, suprisingly gnome shell
[10:01] <nperry> I was talking about the theme...
[10:04] <robin0800> nperry, ubuntu 11.10 alpha2 dosn't work with any theme at the moment
[13:02] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[13:08] <penguin42> hey
[13:11] <BluesKaj> had to reinstall ..X was so broken , non of the regular fixes worked
[13:11] <penguin42> what happened?
[13:12] <BluesKaj> 11.04 now , and I think I'll wait til the kde 4.7 packages are done before I upgrade again
[13:13] <BluesKaj> I ssh into my other box to update/upgrade it, but I haven't checked it
[13:14] <BluesKaj> dunno if  X is broken there too
[13:14] <penguin42> how's it broken?
[13:15] <robin0800> BluesKaj, hi very quiet today!
[13:16] <BluesKaj> unresponsive prompt
[13:16] <BluesKaj> hi robin0800
[13:18] <BluesKaj> penguin42, looks like a tty with a prompt , but KB can't communicate ...tried recovery kernel , nomodeset etc ..nothing but that prompt
[13:18] <BluesKaj> no biggie , Ijust reinstalled 11.04 to /
[15:52] <smallfoot-> cant login ubuntu, gnome, ubuntu2d
[15:52] <smallfoot-> it says not found
[15:52] <smallfoot-> failed to load session "ubuntu-2d"
[16:28] <smallfoot-> oneiric sucks!
[16:42] <BluesKaj> yofel, have the KDE RC 4,7 packages all been loaded into the repos yet or are you guys still working on them?
[16:43] <yofel> BluesKaj: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging - green: uploaded, orange: stuck in source new queue, red: needs fixing, white: not uploaded yet
[16:44] <BluesKaj> ok yofel thanks
[16:48] <IdleOne> yay kubuntu has my printer working :)
[16:51] <BluesKaj> I've been blaming the HPLIP driver but i think the printer has a faulty page loader ...just stops and errors out everytime
[17:01] <IdleOne> I got a Brother mfc240c, brother has linux drivers but they are a pain to install and don't always work. brother-lpr-drivers-bh7 get my printer working but not the scanner.
[17:01] <IdleOne> 1 out of 2 isn't bad.
[17:09] <BluesKaj> heh lexmark has the the worst support (wife's printer) ...no linux drivers
[17:13] <IdleOne> I thought canon was the worst
[17:14] <IdleOne> how would I restart the printer service? I found a possible "fix" to get the scanner working but simple-scan is not seeing it, yet.
[17:15] <airon90> Hi you all! I have a problem, because if I update my pc, new versions of indicators and unity conflict. Should I delete all indicators in order to update Unity or should I report it as a bug?
[17:17] <Ampelbein> airon90: indicators are ported to gtk3, it should be safe to remvoe the gtk2 versions.
[17:17] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, I had a canon printer yrs ago that worked better on debian than on windows :)
[17:22] <IdleOne> hmm well that didn't work
[17:23] <airon90> Ampelbein: http://airon90.titanpad.com/2 What should I do right now?
[17:26] <Ampelbein> airon90: use safe-upgrade.
[17:26] <trism> unity-2d still needs the gtk2 indicators and it hasn't been updated to libindicator6 (it still deps on the confusingly named libindicator3)
[17:28] <airon90> Ampelbein: thank you! Should I report it as a bug, it is an already known problem or it is not a problem and it will be solved normally?
[17:29] <airon90> And another question: how could I set automatic login? I cannot find this option and I don't know why I cannot automatically login :S
[17:32] <trism> airon90: you can configure it in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, setting: default-user=username
[17:33] <airon90> trism: So, there isn't any graphical option. Should it be implemented, don't you?
[17:34] <trism> airon90: I don't know if options have been integrated into any guis for it yet, sorry
[17:35] <IdleOne> OMG I got the scanner working! \o/
[17:36] <IdleOne> 4 years I been trying to get this stupid thing going lol
[17:36] <IdleOne> persistence does pay
[17:43] <penguin42> haha - what type is it/what fixed it?
[17:44] <IdleOne> penguin42: brother mfc 240c
[17:44] <IdleOne> always been able to get the printer to work but the scanner was a major hassle.
[17:44] <IdleOne> it now works!
[17:44] <IdleOne> what to scan, what to scan!
[17:44] <IdleOne> I have nothing that needs scanning
[17:44] <penguin42> IdleOne: Was that one of the ones where it didn't print from OpenOffice on Tuesday?
[17:45] <IdleOne> no that wasn't me
[17:45] <penguin42> so what fixed the scanning?
[17:49] <IdleOne> installing the proper driver to begin with and editing /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules
[17:55] <IdleOne> the part I was always missing was editing /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and adding the proper rule.
[17:55] <IdleOne> notes duly taken and saved for future :)
[18:53] <Daekdroom> Is it normal to have 4 gwibber-service processes?
[19:32] <trijntje_oneiric> Hi all. I just installed alpha2 but I cant update because the upgrade wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. Any ideas how to work around this?
[19:34] <Daekdroom> trijntje_oneiric, wait.
[19:34] <Daekdroom> Just wait that the dependency issues will eventually be sorted out
[19:35] <Daekdroom> I have about 20 held packages for 3 or 4 days.
[19:36] <trijntje_oneiric> Daekdroom, in my case its all packages, because update-manager freezes/crashes when it encounters this problem
[19:36] <trijntje_oneiric> should I try apt-get to upgrade or will that mess up dependencies even more?
[19:36] <Daekdroom> apt-get upgrade is safe.
[19:37] <Daekdroom> apt-get dist-upgrade would mess up with it, tho.
[19:38] <trijntje_oneiric> ok, thanks. I always thought that apt-get was just the cli way of running update-manager, but then I found out it doesnt handle dependencies very well
[19:40] <robin0800> trijntje_oneiric, you can use sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[19:44] <trijntje_oneiric> robin0800, ill try that after I install aptitude, thanks

[04:56] <RAOF> Son_Goku: Enjoy your new tarball.
[04:57] <Son_Goku> ?
[05:01] <RAOF> Son_Goku: There's now a mir-0.28.0 tarball up on Launchpad.
[05:01] <Son_Goku> ah
[05:01] <Son_Goku> nice
[05:01] <Son_Goku> thanks
[05:01] <Son_Goku> though... I'm using the bzr checkouts at the moment :/
[05:05] <Son_Goku> RAOF, that latest commits of Mir behave... better on Fedora
[05:05] <RAOF> Yeah, they'll be rolled up into 0.28.1, probably.
[05:05] <RAOF> Care to fix GMock? :)
[05:06] <Son_Goku> I'm not sure how to
[05:06] <Son_Goku> your CMakeLists are quite a bit messier :/
[05:06] <RAOF> I think gmock is expected to be built with gtest?
[05:08] <RAOF> Oh, I don't mean fix GMock detection in Mir. I mean fix GMock in Fedora, so we can just link to it :)
[05:08] <Son_Goku> gmock and gtest are built and available in Fedora
[05:08] <Son_Goku> gmock-devel and gtest-devel
[05:09] <Son_Goku> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/gmock
[05:09] <Son_Goku> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/gtest
[05:09] <RAOF> Yeah, but gmock-devel doesn't appear to install the library?
[05:09] <RAOF> (At least in my fedora container)
[05:09] <RAOF> It just installs the source?
[05:09] <Son_Goku> on which Fedora?
[05:10] <Son_Goku> oh, I see here
[05:10] <Son_Goku> yeah, this does need to be fixed
[05:26] <RAOF> Annoying that there's no FindGMock.cmake

[21:30] <Bashing-om> UWN: Issue735 up for review and final edits: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue735 :D
[21:32] <Bashing-om> kryten: In Other News >> "Loaf the cat found a screen lock bypass" // We are undecided if approprate to include. What thinks our senior editor ?
[21:44] <Bashing-om> Thunder storms here presently -- I may cut and run at any time.
[21:54] <kryten> Bashing-om: Yeah, since when do we put blanket bug reports in the issue..
[21:56] <Bashing-om> kryten: Generally we do not - but was "suggestd" by influential 3rd party. Do not want to discourage the participation, however.
[21:57] <kryten> And as to the "Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS overview" video, I think its title should be condensed to just that.
[21:58] <kryten> I mean even if we do include the bug report, 1.) Other News wouldn't be fitting for it, and 2.) its title should be as the bug report title.
[21:59] <Bashing-om> kryten: Yup. will make them so.
[22:02] <kryten> Rather in the case we wanted to include it, I feel like it would have to be promoted to like Other Community and written a summary for it.
[22:05] <Bashing-om> kryten: I could do that summary - A bit of levity to the newsletter would be a good thing :P
[22:51] <Bashing-om> UWN: Loaf the cat's bug promoted to Other Community - see that this summary does justice. Next edits ?

[01:14] <Lizzy_> bonsoir
[12:40] <Newk> hi.. i tried to install 12.04 on 2 computers without internet and they both got stuck at the same spot (after, or close to the end .. before installing grub)
[12:41] <Newk> the cdr had no errors
[12:43] <Newk> and the hd had no errors and more then enough space
[12:58] <Sid__> hello, what is the wallpaper's directory by default ?
[13:03] <Sid__> thanks , /usr/share/lubuntu/wallpapers
[23:03] <HelloWorld321> are there any sensible, simple security/privacy precautions to take on a new lubuntu installation?  I set up encrypted homes, that was simple.


[04:04] <guiverc> I just noted a casper change on jammy; 1.470.1 now
 tks for heads up (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <guiverc> I just noted a casper change on jammy; 1.470.1 now)
 Jammy daily install fails after casper update in UEFI/secure mode see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1981879
 Retested JAmmy ISO in UEFI/secure mode - and unable to reproduce earlier failure..😊
[13:32] <kc2bez[m]> Hopefully this will get merged into LXQt 1.2 I know Tsujan was interested in it. https://github.com/slidinghotdog/plugin-wingmenu
[13:38] <tsimonq2> Oh wow.
[13:39] <tsimonq2> Definitely a welcome impression
[13:39] <tsimonq2> s/impression/improvement/
[13:41] <kc2bez[m]> I agree, here is the LXQt discussion https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/discussions/2264#discussioncomment-3084165
[17:01] <tsimonq2> Tweeted and put on Reddit
[17:02] <tsimonq2> Let's see if users are as crazy as we are for this...
 *shoves simon into the telegram realm*
[17:42]  * kc2bez[m] gasps
 *pours salt over Simon for reasons too*
[17:43] <kc2bez[m]> That's actually fair :P
 lol
[18:19] <tsimonq2> I mean... :P
[18:39] <tsimonq2> `libfm-qt_1.1.0-2_amd64.changes ACCEPTED into experimental, experimental`
[21:18] <tsimonq2> teward: Could you please try to send an email to lubuntu-devel at some point over the next few days going over infrastructure changes?
[21:18] <tsimonq2> I'm out of the loop and I think that will be beneficial for everyone
[21:18] <tsimonq2> Once 1.1 is shipped everywhere my next focus will be on processes and CI
[21:18] <tsimonq2> Getting us efficient, yk?
[21:19] <teward> sure.  find me the mod pw for lubuntu-devel and I'll send one :P
[21:19] <tsimonq2> (Of course, if it's going to take you longer, by all means wait to send a thorough email. I just want the latest on that so I know where to help.)
[21:19] <tsimonq2> Thanks :)
[21:19] <tsimonq2> I can poke heavily to get it for you :P
[21:19] <teward> i'm going to do an overview announce and a running commentary on discourse
[21:19] <teward> but first.  family dinner.
[21:20] <teward> weekly i go to mom and dad's for dinner :P
[21:20] <tsimonq2> Have fun teward :)
[21:20] <teward> since they are suffering empty nest syndrome with my sister 400 miles away
[21:20] <tsimonq2> Thanks again
[21:20] <tsimonq2> ah, yes can relate
[21:24] <teward> in my own defense for NOT living too far away from my parents:  (1) free laundry service - i just go over and run my laundry.  Mom even still helps lol.  Saves me like $6 a load since i don't pay for the machines heh.  (2) Close to home comfort.  I know everything in the area growing up here, it's a good area, and if I need to just retreat from the world i can go home to mom and dad.  (3) free family dinners on the weekend.  Yay free
[21:24] <teward> food
[21:24] <teward> there's a billion other advantages toox D
[21:24] <teward> but meh
[21:27] <teward> tsimonq2: PM me a link to altispeed's site, i wantto give them a shoutout for the DO node since AFAICT it's still there but not being used.  Though it could go away at any time.
[21:28] <tsimonq2> altispeed.com
[21:29] <tsimonq2> teward: I'm glad I have a similar relationship with my parents
 "since they are suffering empty..." <- I can relate only from your parent's vantage point. We are in the process of pushing one of the birdies out of the nest.
