[01:30] <guiverc> I've removed pipewire/screensaver & picom sections (not new; same as 23.04)
[01:45] <guiverc> app versions updated (mantic release notes), would appreciate a check.. URL will need adding (has lunar as none currently), firefox version may also change between now & release
[01:46] <guiverc> we'll need to amend 'stable' manual to be 23.10 (on release) to match release notes..
[01:47] <guiverc> contributors may also need tweaking...
[01:48] <guiverc> once it looks okay, if others agree we can put on discourse maybe? (hidden or public; I see no reason for it to be hidden though as we're rather close to beta)
 Running a quick test @guiverc (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <guiverc> We need to confirm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2016828 still impacts mantic.. (I'm leaving that in, but no 'mantic' codename exists on bug report))
[07:18] -ubottu:#lubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2016828 in calamares (Ubuntu) "You can 'enable' encryption and then not provide a passphrase for the disk, in which case Calamares will do an unencrypted installation" [Undecided, New]
[07:20] <guiverc> thanks @Leokolb, I was 'speaking' aloud mostly for myself (I can scroll back & see what I want to do..)   I've since written today's daily to thumb-drive, alas haven't booted it yet.
 confirmed and updated bug report @guiverc tks
[07:23] <guiverc> first done, THANK YOU @Leokolb  (I have lp bug reports open as reminder to look at it...)

[07:24] -ubottu:#lubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2016436 in calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Lunar) "Calamares will let you set up a user account with no password" [Critical, Fix Released]
[07:26] <guiverc> (hopefully with fix released for both jammy+lunar it's not an issue anyway... i tagged it too though)
[07:27]  * guiverc will install mantic to sony.thingy shortly & test for it..
[07:31] <guiverc> I do NOTE the panel is at the bottom; our SAMPLE 23.10 pic has it at the top on the release notes.
[07:31] <guiverc> my daily has lunar sddm still
[07:32] <guiverc> (23.10.3 not 23.10.4 though)
[07:33] <guiverc> I do like that wallpaper :)
[07:48] <guiverc> nope.. I can't click NEXT to install without password; not an issue.
 Updates just arrived for ssdm etc..will then be in todays iso.. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <guiverc> my daily has lunar sddm still)
[07:50] <guiverc> it's not on my iso (download was this arvo for me).. I forget when I noticed it hitting this box but I'm not worried about that; we see it when we get to it.
[07:50] <guiverc> s/get to it/see it/
[07:51] <guiverc> two graphics I think need redo for release notes; panel is at top (line at far right I think tsimonq2 noticed, I saw it to but doesn't worry me)  & our 'install system' graphic says 23.04
[07:52] <guiverc> ^ will be what I probably grab next (via vbox)
[07:52] <guiverc> Thank you @Leokolb
[08:03] <guiverc> I looked for 23.04's in install; I saw none :)
[08:46] <guiverc> vbox isn't co-operating; won't get 2x ^ images (today anyway)
[09:19] <guiverc> screenshots i grabbed can be found here - https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/mantic-wallpaper/4539/8  (2 of 3 of them anyway; config issue with vbox found)
[09:20] <guiverc> (no neofetch; i didn't want to see virtualbox; but panel is at the bottom)
[11:30] <guiverc> I've updated both graphics I wanted too... if folks can scan mantic release notes & correct any issues etc (esp. @tsimonq2)..  thanks  https://notes.lubuntu.me/K_Fryv_DQYWT8eJPJ2BzRA?view
[21:43] <jbicha> tsimonq2: sorry to bother you again, but I'm reminding about bug 2036098
[21:43] -ubottu:#lubuntu-devel- Bug 2036098 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "[mantic] xdg-desktop-portals no longer working in default Lubuntu after xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.1" [Critical, Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2036098
 @tsimonq2 this is a critical level bug and *must* be resolved.  Before the betas roll out.  Which means you must fix within the next 24 hours and come to a solution.

 @tsimonq2 then you probably should've acked jbicha
 (and chose not to)
 jbicha: ack :)
[23:58] -queuebot:#lubuntu-devel- Builds: Lubuntu Desktop amd64 [Mantic Beta] (20230919) has been added


[02:52] <blackboxsw> rharper: for monday cloud.cfg.tmpl rendering test added to  https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/267   also I had forgotten to click submit on review response to https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/152  (jsonschema for write_files)
[10:21] <andras-kovacs> <rharper " /usr/lib/cloud-init/write-ssh-k"> this folder is /usr/libexec/cloud-init/ in RHEL and thanks for the info!
[10:21] <andras-kovacs> and the NetworkManager + ifup/down topic
[10:22] <andras-kovacs> IF NetworkManager is running then network.service's ifup/down will call nmcli connection up :)
[10:24] <andras-kovacs> <rharper "however, kali has both ifupdown "> so it's pretty much the same IMHO
[10:24] <andras-kovacs> <ananke "yes, network-manager appears to "> so NetworkManager doesn't have ifup/down I think but the ifup/ifdown shell scripts calling the NetworkManager
[10:27] <andras-kovacs> To be honest, I'm building RHEL templates these days with the network.service disabled.
[10:28] <andras-kovacs> I believe that NetworkManager is the way even if Facebook, etc. thinks differently.


[00:00] <ryan__> yes, luckily i downloaded IE 6 and it is on my desktop so i figured out how to get into this chat. i can rightclick on desktop
[00:00] <BUGabundo> IE6?? wth
[00:01] <yofel> o.O
[00:01] <ryan__> i have to have it for work..
[00:01] <BUGabundo> don't scare us like that
[00:01] <yofel> ryan__: select 'add link' or starter or something like that
[00:02] <ryan__> after i rightclik on desktp?
[00:02] <yofel> yes, should be the second from the top in the list
[00:02] <pace_t_zulu> off topic... michael jackson... dead
[00:02] <yofel> pace_t_zulu: that *really* is off topic...
[00:03] <ryan__> really??
[00:03] <BUGabundo> pace_t_zulu: and everyone knows it
[00:03] <BUGabundo> .... or not
[00:03] <BUGabundo> ryan__: really. now get back on topic
[00:03] <ryan__> k
[00:03] <pace_t_zulu> apologies
[00:03] <pace_t_zulu> couldn't help it
[00:04] <BUGabundo> I know
[00:04] <ryan__> is there a way to get to my desktop without exiting my terminal? only way i can get to it is alt+cntl+F2
[00:05] <yofel> ryan__: what about what I told you?
[00:05] <yofel> I want you to add a launcher on the desktop to start gnome-panel from there - or start xterm and then start gnome-panel from xterm
[00:05] <ryan__> i need to get to my desktop, i am in fullscreen terminal right now
[00:06] <yofel> ryan__: alt+ctrl+f7
[00:08] <m_tadeu> hi everyone
[00:08] <m_tadeu> is grub2 supported by previous grub configurators? like the one in kde system settings?
[00:11] <ryan___> ok
[00:11] <ryan___> you guys there?
[00:12] <yofel> ryan___: yup
[00:12] <BUGabundo> yes
[00:12] <ryan___> ok, i get no response from create launcher, i can create folder and empty file though ! yay!
[00:14] <ryan___> i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but prior to this i uninstalled evolution mail and calender but it wasnt till restart that it happend
[00:14] <ryan___> and installed something else but it slips my mind right now..
[00:15] <ryan___> a compiler
[00:15] <ryan___> but didnt even open it or anything
[00:17] <ryan___> i searched forums, but only one i found with similar problem was dead before there was a solution..
[00:21] <akio> howdy
[00:21] <akio> a shot in the dark here, has anyone used the framebuffer + mplayer with the new intel drivers?
[00:22] <ryan___> any ideas about missing toolbars 9.04, no response to alt+F2, no response from create launcher, but able to create folder and open apps on desktop
[00:22] <ryan___> ?
[00:22] <akio> I have KMS going, everything is nice and smooth otherwise
[00:22] <BUGabundo> ryan__ this # is for karmic 9.10 not jaunty 9.04
[00:23] <Bmw1000c> #ubuntu
[00:26] <akio> 193 users, no mplayer + framebuffer use cases?
[00:26] <BUGabundo> LOL
[00:26] <akio> BUGabundo, ?
[00:26] <BUGabundo> no, to Bmw1000c
[00:27] <Bmw1000c> lol
[00:27] <RAOF> akio: Why would you want to use the framebuffer?
[00:28] <RAOF> You're trying to use mplayer outside of X?
[00:28] <akio> no need, but I hoped it would allow me to cut down on overhead, I'm trying to play heavy mkv files on an MSI Wind U100
[00:28] <akio> It's not easy for this machine
[00:29] <RAOF> The framebuffer will be slower than Xv.
[00:29] <RAOF> Generally.  Because it's practically unaccelerated, wheras Xv is handled by your GPU.
[00:31] <akio> Thanks for the tip, I haven't really begun to dig into the differences of the drivers yet
[00:31] <akio> or output modules or whatever
[00:31] <akio> interfaces
[00:33] <m_tadeu> is anyone experiencing problems with xine recently?
[00:33] <akio> mplayer with xv cuts right through it
[00:37] <akio> akio, test
[00:38] <akio> can someone message me in like 4 seconds, im testing (obviously)
[00:38] <akio> that didn't go well
[00:39] <BUGabundo> akio: use !ping
[00:40] <akio> !ping
[00:45] <akio> my issue was that I was using xchat-gnome instead of xchat
[00:46] <BUGabundo> eheh
[00:46] <ripps> Yay! somebody fixed python-gdl, I can install specto again!
[00:50] <akio> !ping
[00:52] <Bmw1000c> !ping BUGabundo
[00:52] <Bmw1000c> no? :(

[01:01] <Leftmost> I'm using xmodmap to remap a key on my system to Alt_L. After running xmodmap, xev reports the key as Alt_L but it doesn't behave as such. Any ideas?

[01:05] <akio> wrong channel, sorry
[02:21] <BluesKaj> an error occurred while accessing 'Volume (ntfs)', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied:Device /dev/sda1 is listed in /etc/fstab.Refusing to mount
[06:32] <ghindo> Does anybody know when all those Mono packages will be ready for download?
[06:32] <RAOF> They already are.
[06:34] <RAOF> ghindo: "sudo aptitude full-upgrade"
[06:37] <ghindo> RAOF, Oh, thank you.  How come those packages aren't upgraded when running Upgrade Manager, apt-get upgrade, or aptitude safe-upgrade?
[06:37] <RAOF> Because they require removing some existing packages.
[06:37] <RAOF> Because those packages are no longer used.
[06:38] <dtchen> and hence violate the "safe" semantics
[06:38] <RAOF> safe-upgrade will never install or remove packages.
[06:39] <ghindo> Interesting - didn't know that.  Thanks again.
[09:47] <ripps> latest update killed my external hdd, it wount mount anymore.
[09:47] <cdE|Woozy> has anyone noticed some of their usb ports not working anymore?
[09:48] <ripps> Unable to mount the volume "Epsilon". Details -> Cannot get volume.fstype.alternative
[09:48] <ripps> it's a ntfs hdd
[09:48] <ripps> cdE|Woozy: I've noticed that I have to unplug and replug some things to get them working again]
[09:48] <cdE|Woozy> my docking station has five ports, two are not working anymore with karmic (completely powered down, plugging in a mouse won't even light it up)
[09:49] <ripps> the switch from hal to devkit is breaking alot of things
[09:49] <cdE|Woozy> ah, so devkit killed my ports :)
[09:50] <cdE|Woozy> but shouldn't the kernel detect that something was plugged in despite devkit not making it available to userspace or something?
[09:51] <cdE|Woozy> or the optical mouse lighting up
[09:51] <ripps> cdE|Woozy: hal was responsible for doing something with it, all the kernel will do is populate it in /dev
[09:52] <ripps> hal was the backbone of the linux plug-n-play scene
[09:52] <cdE|Woozy> well, the kernel doesn't even notice that something was plugged into these two ports, according to dmesg =X
[09:53] <ripps> well, technically, if devkit didn't mount modules for your usb hub, it can't mount anything for your usb mouse
[09:54] <cdE|Woozy> naughty devkit.. thanks ripps
[09:55] <ripps> I suspect both yours and my issues are coming from the updated udev-extras package, which devkit relys on to know what modules to mount for which devices
[11:16] <le-chuck_ita> Hi there, is audio in flash applets working for you today?
[11:17] <le-chuck_ita> forget it, now it is working for me
[11:17] <le-chuck_ita> sometimes you just need to close and reopen things,
[11:18] <le-chuck_ita> that's computer science
[11:27] <|ns|nR8> computer science is hitting a hard drive with a hammer to get it working again and its still working 5 years later
[12:06] <MTecknology> this isn't for karmic - but you guys are smart...
[12:06] <MTecknology> I've been having consistent error that stops the shutdown process. Where do I find this message?
[12:10] <virtuald> is it possible to not have the apt-cdrom binary installed on upgrades of the apt package?
[12:49] <aemyr> Is there major breakage in karmic or is it safe to upgrade ?

[16:47] <dvz-> hey all
[16:47] <yofel> hi dvz-
[16:48] <dvz-> okay, so I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 to test out the intel drivers cause of a bug in VLC.  And after the loading splash screen, tty7 only displays a mouse, sound, and a constant black screen.
[16:49] <dvz-> it seems to let me log in and access my network keyring as usual (blindly entering credentials)..thankfully, allowing tty1 to work with irssi o.O
[16:50] <dvz-> was wonderin if anyone had any suggestions or the like to getting a visual on tty7...also this is -28 header, not -30
[16:50] <dvz-> -30 is just completely borked
[16:51] <yofel> dvz-: if you're using kernel 2.6.30-10, KMS was enabled as default for intel, try adding i915.modeset=0 to the kernel boot line
[16:52] <yofel> dvz-: also the intel driver in karmic only supports UXA (support for XAA/EXA was dropped)
[16:52] <dvz-> how do i check if i have UXA ?
[16:53] <yofel> dvz-: whats your driver version? (apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel)
[16:53] <dvz-> my chipset is i945 i believe
[16:53] <dvz-> hold on
[16:55] <dvz-> 2:<IP_ADDRESS>+git20090602.ec2fde7c-0ubuntu2 0
[16:55] <dvz-> that ^^?
[16:55] <yofel> dvz-: then you're using UXA - it's the only choice left ;)
[16:56] <dvz-> okay so that's good then?
[16:57] <dvz-> now kernel boot line...forgive my newness - I don't do this too often, but should learn sometime :-P  how would i add that line to the boot?
[16:57] <yofel> dvz-: not sure, UXA support in jaunty was very chipset dependent
[16:57] <yofel> ok, kernel...
[16:57] <yofel> when you boot and grub comes up press <esc> if needed
[16:58] <yofel> select the 30-10 kernel
[16:58] <yofel> press e and go to the line that starts with 'kernel' and press e again
[16:58] <yofel> go to the end of the line and add i915.modeset=0
[16:58] <yofel> then press b to boot
[16:59] <dvz-> ko, thanks. let's see how this works.
[16:59] <yofel> I hope that's correct, haven't used grub for a while since I switched to grub2
[17:00] <yofel> It should also give you the available commands on the bottom of your screen
[17:07] <dvz-__> ello again.
[17:07] <yofel> dvz-__: welcome back
[17:08] <yofel> dvz-__: welcome back
[17:08] <dvz-__> okay, that's slightly odd.
[17:08] <dvz-__> first of all, i915.modeset=0  right?
[17:08] <yofel> dvz-__: yes
[17:09] <dvz-> edited the kernel boot line with that and it said "Unknown argument" or something to that effect..."ignoring"
[17:09] <dvz-> under the 30-10 header
[17:10] <yofel> dvz-: iirc the 'ignoring' is ok, did it help in any way?
[17:10] <dvz-> actually yes..i'm running that header now...it's not borked like before..
[17:11] <dvz-> before it had some weird choppy strip in the center of the screen, like it was cramming it all and vertically challenged.
[17:11] <SKB> hmz my trash is gone
[17:11] <dvz-> but now, it's still giving me the same issues as 28
[17:12] <dvz-> black screen, +mouse,+sound,-display
[17:12] <dvz-> and for some reason my right alt is as
[17:13] <SKB> when i try to open my trash i get "Error while spawning nautilus: Operation not supported"
[17:13] <dvz-> -as, +acting up, acting as shift on the numbers and entering text in irssi with alt+someletter
[17:13] <yofel> dvz-: what does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log tell you? (check for EE or something bad in the last few lines)
[17:16] <yofel> dvz-: or easier, install pastebinit and nopaste you Xorg.0.log with 'pastebinit -i /var/log/Xorg.0.log' and give me the link so I can look through it
[17:16] <dvz-> something about xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 1 (2 and 3)
[17:19] <dvz-> http://pastebin.com/f4be8a871
[17:20] <yoasif> cwillu, ping
[17:24] <yofel> dvz-: There is an error in there on line 345 but I have no idea if that's the problem or how to fix that. Sorry
[17:24] <yofel> dvz-: Maybe someone else can help you later.
[17:25] <dvz-> thanks yofel
[17:46] <dvz-> yofel: i got it working
[17:46] <dvz-> yofel: edited xorg.conf, my virtual display was ~3000 1024
[17:56] <BUGabundo> btw if anyone is having audio MUTE prob, check pavucontrol to see if source of sound is at 50% or less!
[18:10] <yofel> dvz-: :D
[18:20] <cwillu_clone> poke poke BUGabundo,
[18:20] <cwillu_clone> BUGabundo, know anything about the lack of x86 builds on the mainline kernel ppa?
[18:20]  * BUGabundo slaps cwillu for overppoking
[18:20] <cwillu_clone> I haven't poked you in like 4 days
[18:20] <BUGabundo> is there a lack??
[18:21] <BUGabundo> they were there lsat tiem I checked
[18:21] <cwillu_clone> I know this because I've been 140km from the nearest internet connection for that time
[18:21] <BUGabundo> miss you too carrey
[18:21] <BUGabundo> cwillu ahahaha
[18:21] <cwillu_clone> there hasn't been a new x86 since a few weeks ago
[18:21] <cwillu_clone> i.e., no 2.6.31 -pre and -rc x86 kernels
[18:21] <BUGabundo> ahh
[18:22] <BUGabundo> ping apw
[18:23] <apw> hi
[18:23]  * cwillu_clone pokes apw with a give-me-a-2.6.31-rc1-x86-build stick
[18:24] <apw> yeah there is an issue with the kernel build infrastructure.  as in something with upstream builds
[18:24] <cwillu_clone> thought it'd be something like that
[18:24] <apw> the builds work in a karmic chroot, but not a jaunty one, which is in theory impossible
[18:25] <BUGabundo> aha
[18:25] <apw> not had a chance to find out why that is, just figured it out locally while doing a rebase
[18:25] <apw> as i hit it here
[18:25] <tawmas> Hello all
[18:26] <cwillu_clone> there's some -intel kms fixes for suspend there that I'm supposed to test
[18:26] <apw> there is an ubuntu 2.6.31-rc1 based kernel in here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/staging
[18:26] <cwillu_clone> ah, great, thanks
[18:26] <apw> you would be the first person to boot it however
[18:26] <cwillu_clone> np
[18:26] <cwillu_clone> this laptop gets all the exciting kernel builds
[18:26] <BUGabundo> ahaha
[18:26] <BUGabundo> cwillu gonna go cutting edgered then me ?
[18:28] <tawmas> I need a quick pointer to something I can study to get out of my karmic machine dropping me into busybox at boot. From the messages, it looks like it doesn't find my root partition uuid.
[18:29] <charlie-tca> take a look at /var/log/syslog or /var/log/bootlog
[18:30] <cwillu_clone> BUGabundo, I'm the edgeredest
[18:31] <yoasif> if i have a problem with selecting something in the terminal not copying to the X copy buffer (or whatever it's called), where should i report it/has it been reported?
[18:31] <yoasif> cwillu_clone, are you cwillu?
[18:31] <cwillu_clone> yoasif, yes
[18:31] <cwillu_clone> 150km from my computer right now :p
[18:31] <yoasif> cwillu want to check out the alpha of that site we talked about?
[18:32] <tawmas> charlie-tca: I'm restarting it now
[18:32] <cwillu_clone> yoasif, sure
[18:32] <cwillu_clone> yoasif, pm 'cwillu' with the url
[18:32] <cwillu_clone> then I'll actually be able to find it when I get home
[18:32] <yoasif> done
[18:32] <yoasif> BUGabundo, around?
[18:33] <cwillu_clone> thx
[18:33] <cwillu_clone> he's hiding from my poking stick
[18:33] <yoasif> cwillu_clone, any ideas on the select not copying to x buffer?
[18:34] <yoasif> should i report to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ?
[18:34] <dvz-> okay, 30-10..is that alpha 2 or 3?
[18:34] <cwillu_clone> yoasif, my head's been filled up with grain indicators not settling when the scale gate closes, I've barely got my sanity together enough to handle my own suspend bugs :p
[18:34] <cwillu_clone> yoasif, could poke your head in #ubuntu-x and ask
[18:35] <tawmas> charlie-tca: there's no /var/log I can look into! ls /var only shows /var/lock being there...
[18:35] <BUGabundo> yoasif: alwayus
[18:36] <yoasif> cwillu_clone, hilarious, it works now
[18:36] <charlie-tca> that seems bad
[18:36] <yoasif> BUGabundo, want to check out a site that im working on (alpha quality)
[18:36] <charlie-tca> should always be a /var/log, even with the live cd
[18:36] <cwillu_clone> yoasif, there's changes that have come through in that department, I wouldn't be surprised to see bugs come and go for the next month or two
[18:37] <yoasif> cwillu_clone, cool
[18:37] <cwillu_clone> charlie-tca, pre-root mount though?
[18:37] <yoasif> now if someone would fix gnome-do
[18:37] <cwillu_clone> dmesg should still show some relevant info
[18:37] <yoasif> not having gnome do is annoying
[18:37] <tawmas> I managed to mount my root partition
[18:37] <charlie-tca> when installer fails, you can pull logs from /var/log/syslog
[18:38] <cwillu_clone> the installer is running from a running system though
[18:38] <cwillu_clone> his issue is coming from the boot process itself
[18:38] <BUGabundo> yoasif: shoot
[18:38] <charlie-tca> not always. The alternate cd is the same way, you can pull /var/log/syslog if you go to a tty
[18:39] <cwillu_clone> that's still a running system though
[18:39] <yoasif> BUGabundo, sent the message -- you're going to need an openid, but google doesn't work atm for some reason :/
[18:39] <cwillu_clone> the lack of a running x server does not constitute a broken system :p
[18:40] <tawmas> charlie-tca: that's not from the installer cd, I'm booting from an installed system
[18:40] <charlie-tca> Unless your install never completed, and then you are booting from half a system
[18:41] <charlie-tca> see bug 385995
[18:42] <charlie-tca> one of the duplicates is similar
[18:42] <yoasif> i had the same issue
[18:42] <yoasif> one of mine was a dipe
[18:42] <yoasif> dupe*
[18:42] <yoasif> im running on that system now, hopefully will be fixed by alpha3 so i can reinstall
[18:42] <charlie-tca> one of the dups was a system that booted, but wouldn't run
[18:43] <yoasif> dont feel like doing a daily
[18:43] <charlie-tca> That part is fixed, but so far I only been able to get an install from the live cd desktop to work
[18:45] <bobesponja> nixternal: can I remove your xorg ppa now?
[18:51] <BUGabundo> bye everyone
[18:51] <BUGabundo> hey kklimonda, bye kklimonda
[18:56] <tawmas> Can someone please help me recovering from a boot failure? I get dropped into busybox. I have warnings that no block devices can be found and that an uuid which might be my root filesystem is not found. I can manually mount my root from busybox, but what do I do from here?
[18:59] <cwillu_clone> tawmas, and then hit ctrl-d to continue
[18:59] <cwillu_clone> ?
[19:00] <tawmas> cwillu: didn't try that
[19:01] <cwillu_clone> tawmas, ctrl-d basically does the same thing as typing exit in that circumstance:  telling the system to continue with the boot process
[19:02] <cwillu_clone> you'd still need to figure out how to get the system doing it automatically, but that's easier done from a fully booted system rather than mucking around with a busybox
[19:02] <tawmas> cwillu, it still drops me into busybox
[19:02] <tawmas> after telling me "Gave up waiting for root device"
[19:02] <cwillu_clone> :/
[19:03] <cwillu_clone> dunno then
[19:03] <tawmas> can I see the uuid  of the device from busybox?
[19:09] <tawmas> cwillu: I can seem to make it go a little further if I manually create a link in /dev/by-uuid/ for my root partition
[19:09] <tawmas> to do that, I also need to create /dev/by-uuid first as it doesn't exist
[19:10] <tawmas> I think my error is I mounted my root device on / when I seem to understand from the error output that I should have mounted it on /root
[19:10] <tawmas> I'll try again later, as I now have to go away
[19:11] <tawmas> do you have any further suggestions or comments?
[19:11] <cwillu_clone> tawmas, beyond expressing my love for hawkins cheesies, nope
[19:11] <nixternal> bobesponja: yes
[19:12] <tawmas> cwillu, ok, thanks
[19:12] <tawmas> I'll try something on my own... or just go grab a live cd somewhere and reinstall from scratch
[19:13] <tawmas> bye
[19:13] <bobesponja> ok thanks
[19:48] <BUGabundo> hey lemonade
[21:09] <Bmw1000c> see bug #392687
[21:48] <Bmw1000c> guys when i start my system it says "Loading AppArmor module ..... [FAIL]"
[21:48] <Bmw1000c> is that a known buh?
[21:48] <Bmw1000c> bug
[21:51] <Sarvatt> yeah theres no apparmor module for the karmic kernels yet
[21:52] <Bmw1000c> okay
[21:52] <Bmw1000c> another bug:
[21:52] <Bmw1000c> i upgraded my kernel and my grub settings came to default
[21:52] <BUGabundo> he means to say, all his manual changes to menu.lst were reverted
[21:53] <Bmw1000c> yes thanks BUGabundo
[21:53] <Bmw1000c> actually
[21:53] <Bmw1000c> is grub.cfg
[21:53] <BUGabundo> right GRUB2
[21:53] <BUGabundo> my mind is still set on GRUB 1.9
[21:53] <Sarvatt> thats because you added them to the "automagic boot stanzas" where it says not to instead of adding it to the default options where update-grub adds it to the existing kernels when its run
[21:54] <Bmw1000c> so
[21:54] <Bmw1000c> search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4e8b5d6d-a9ed-4fd0-8eb8-030b56aaf2ce
[21:54] <Bmw1000c> how can i remove the --no-floppy
[21:55] <Bmw1000c> and "quiet splash"
[21:56] <Sarvatt> i have no idea with grub2 actually, havent even looked into it yet :(
[21:56] <Sarvatt> reading grub.cfg it looks like you edit it in /etc/default/grub
[21:56] <Sarvatt> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[21:57] <Sarvatt> take out quiet splash there so its just ""
[21:57] <Bmw1000c> thank you!
[21:58] <Bmw1000c> lets test it
[21:59] <Sarvatt> you need to update-grub after
[21:59] <Sarvatt> so it writes all the settings
[21:59] <Sarvatt> you should be able to tell if that worked just opening up grub.cfg after that
[21:59] <Sarvatt> i dont know about removing --no-floppy though, do you need grub to search floppies for some reason?
[22:00] <BUGabundo> Sarvatt: he alread left
[22:00] <BUGabundo> he is always rebooting. poor laptop
[22:00] <BUGabundo> he is so happy about his 10 sec boots
[22:00] <Sarvatt> keep in mind its grub searching the floppy not the bootloader so its not like removing it removes booting from floppy support
[22:00] <Sarvatt> ahh darn
[22:00] <BUGabundo> ahahahaahah
[22:00]  * Sarvatt has part messages turned off
[22:00] <BUGabundo> (09:59:07 PM) Bmw1000c left the room (quit: Remote closed the connection).
[22:01] <BUGabundo> Sarvatt: the no floppy sees to have come with Grub2. no idea why
[22:01] <BUGabundo> billybigrigger: ping why is that?
[22:01] <Sarvatt> i imagine it would stall the boot up for a bit wasting time looking at the floppy if ones there..
[22:02] <Sarvatt> if you want to boot  off a floppy you just change the boot order in bios to have the floppy earlier
[22:03] <BUGabundo> Sarvatt: aahah
[22:04] <Bmw1000c> no
[22:04] <BUGabundo> (09:59:07 PM) Bmw1000c left the room (quit: Remote closed the connection).
[22:04] <BUGabundo> (09:59:09 PM) Sarvatt: you need to update-grub after
[22:04] <BUGabundo> (09:59:16 PM) Sarvatt: so it writes all the settings
[22:04] <BUGabundo> (09:59:31 PM) Sarvatt: you should be able to tell if that worked just opening up grub.cfg after that
[22:04] <BUGabundo> (10:00:04 PM) Sarvatt: i dont know about removing --no-floppy though, do you need grub to search floppies for some reason?
[22:04] <Sarvatt> what the heck is the man page for grub2 listed under?
[22:04] <BUGabundo> no idea
[22:04] <Sarvatt> ahh man update-grub2
[22:05] <Bmw1000c> LOL
[22:05] <Bmw1000c> thanks Sarvatt eheh
[22:05] <Bmw1000c> Sarvatt
[22:05] <Sarvatt> nothing in there useful though lol
[22:05] <Bmw1000c> if i have --no-floppy active, i just cant boot
[22:06] <Sarvatt> thats odd, are you really using grub2? do you see a blue debian graphic on the screen during the kernel selection dialogue?
[22:06] <Bmw1000c> :|
[22:06] <Bmw1000c> yes man
[22:06] <Bmw1000c> it's different from 9.04
[22:06] <Bmw1000c> brb i'll tell you what error i get
[22:06] <BUGabundo> no no
[22:06] <BUGabundo> damn there he goes
[22:07] <Sarvatt> maybe he needs to reinstall a newer grub2 to his mbr
[22:08] <Sarvatt> found a forum thread i'll link him when comes back :D http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7510816

[22:28] <repete> Am I right that it was decided to switch to Empathy in 9.10?
[22:32] <Sarvatt> its not like they are going to remove pidgin or anything, but yeah the default IM on a new install is empathy
[22:32]  * defrysk switched to kde
[22:32] <BUGabundo> repete: yes
[22:33] <defrysk> kde4 is very solid on +1

[22:46] <BUGabundo> eheh
[22:46] <BUGabundo> hey astenorh
[22:47] <astenorh> i dunno where to report this, but apparently mplayer has been compiled with no gui on karmic
[22:47] <BUGabundo> astenorh: mplayer has no GUI
[22:47] <BUGabundo> you want gmplayer
[22:47] <BUGabundo> same app with GUI
[22:48] <astenorh> yeah well there are two packages : mplayer, and mplayer-nogui
[22:48] <astenorh> both are compiled with no gui
[22:48] <astenorh> I will use gmplayer
[22:49] <BUGabundo> ok
[22:49] <BUGabundo> let us know if you have anytrouble
[22:50] <astenorh> and i didn't find gmplayer in the repository but gnome-mplayer I suppose that was what you were refering to
[22:51] <BUGabundo> not sure
[22:51] <BUGabundo> lol
[22:53] <astenorh> well it looks better than the classic mplayer gui
[22:55] <BUGabundo> eheh
[22:55] <BUGabundo> it has a new skin in KK
[22:55] <BUGabundo> I changed it back LOL

[15:03] <persia> Who's here for the Java Team meeting?
[15:04] <ttx> o/
[15:05] <persia> OK.  First up, congrats everyone on the work during the Jaunty cycle.
[15:07] <ttx> \o/
[15:07] <persia> Next up: agenda at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Meeting
[15:07] <persia> Nothing special
[15:10] <persia> Roadmap:
[15:10] <persia> robilad isn't here.  slytherin isn't here.
[15:10] <persia> I failed to kill Sun Java 5 :(
[15:10] <persia> I'll try again next cycle.
[15:10] <ttx> it can run but it cannot hide.
[15:11] <persia> ttx, Any updates on Contents?  Based on your blog post, I wonder if that's complete.
[15:11] <ttx> yes, it's complete. I will plug it in a packaging training session sometime in May, but otherwise it's done
[15:13] <persia> OK.  We'll leave it on the roadmap until then.
[15:14] <persia> Attracting new Java packagers?
[15:14] <ttx> I will (try to) to a packaging session sometime in May, hopefully it will demystify the whole thing
[15:14] <ttx> s/to a/do a/
[15:15] <persia> Makes sense.
[15:15] <persia> ludovicc is not here
[15:15] <persia> OK.  Anyone have anything else to add?
[15:16] <persia> OK.
[15:17] <persia> I'll be adding "Specs" to the agenda for next week.  If anyone is planning to put together a Java-related spec, please bring it to the meeting.
[15:17] <persia> See you next Thursday
[15:17] <ttx> yes, good point
[15:17] <ttx> unfortunately I won't be here next week
[15:18] <ttx> I already have a blueprint about eucalyptus-javadeps refactoring:
[15:18] <ttx> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-karmic-euca-javadeps-refactoring
[15:18] <ttx> that's my only java-related spec atm
[15:20] <persia> Well, we'll probably want to postpone that until the first meeting in May then.
[15:20] <persia> Maybe some other people will raise some as well.
[15:22] <ttx> your call. Just plug mine in the discussion if I am not around :)
[15:22] <persia> OK :)
[17:59] <dholbach> hello everybody
[17:59] <dholbach> geser, nixternal, soren, jpds, nhandler, persia: who of you is around?
[18:00] <dholbach> ember, statik, bdrung, imbrandon: are you guys around?
[18:00] <statik> hi dholbach
[18:00]  * ember waves
[18:00] <bdrung> dholbach: yes :)
[18:00] <imbrandon> heya dholbach
[18:00]  * persia is about
[18:01] <imbrandon> sorry bandwidth is a bit low, seeding some release torrents :)
[18:01] <imbrandon> so i may lag a tiny bit
[18:01] <dholbach> hehe :)
[18:02] <persia> I'll also admit to not expecting to make this meeting, and not having reviewed people as in-depth as I'd like.
[18:02] <dholbach> geser, soren, nixternal?
[18:02]  * dholbach thinks that nhandler is probably not going to be around and jpds en route to a release party
[18:03] <imbrandon> nixternal: should be around unless he is already drinking :)
[18:03] <ScottK> That doesn't preclude him being around.
[18:03] <imbrandon> but its only noon in our timezone so i doubt he is *yet*
[18:03] <imbrandon> lol ScottK :)
[18:04]  * soren is here.
[18:04]  * geser is here
[18:04] <dholbach> ah awesome!
[18:04] <imbrandon> on a side note i get my new ( freelance ) office today
[18:04] <persia> OK.  That's four of us.
[18:04] <dholbach> perfect

[18:05] <dholbach> ember: how are you doing?
[18:05] <ember> good !
[18:05] <ember> bit nervous :p
[18:05] <nixternal> yo yo
[18:05] <dholbach> ember: don't worry :)
[18:06] <dholbach> ember: so how's life in Ubuntu Desktop land? how did the last GNOME releases go into Ubuntu? anything problematic?
[18:06] <ember> the life is ubuntu desktop is awesome
[18:07] <ember> this 2.26.x looks quite stable
[18:07] <geser> wait till dholbach gets out his bbq sauce :)
[18:07] <dholbach> geser: errr, huh? :-)
[18:07] <ember> and Desktop Team is already doing some SRU's to polish missing bugs
[18:07] <geser> re "don't worry" (was a little bit late)
[18:08] <ember> lol
[18:08] <dholbach> ember: oh nice... you guys are unstoppable :)
[18:08] <dholbach> ember: is there any specific applications on the desktop that you like best to look after?
[18:08] <dholbach> ember: also in terms of bug reports?
[18:08] <pace_t_zulu> there are still some gnome-panel issues in 2.26 when changing screen resolution
[18:09] <ember> dholbach: as you notice i'm usually taking care of brasero sound-juicer gnome-themes gtk2-engines
[18:09] <ember> and know hamster-applet
[18:09] <ember> *now
[18:09] <dholbach> pace_t_zulu: best to speak to the folks in #ubuntu-desktop about that :)
[18:09] <ember> and tomboy!
[18:09] <persia> ember, Many of the testimonials on your wiki page talk about rushing.  How do you plan to address that perception?
[18:09] <pace_t_zulu> will do... i have written my own workaround for it for the time being
[18:09] <pace_t_zulu> but i'd like to land a fix for Karmic
[18:09] <ember> persia: i had that problem in the beginning
[18:10] <dholbach> pace_t_zulu: we're in a meeting right now, which is why I suggested it :-)
[18:10] <ember> and the rush resulted in some missing test builds and etc
[18:10] <ember> noawadays i focus on some packages or on packages the desktop needs help
[18:10] <ember> and improved my testing and interaction with the desktop team
[18:10] <pace_t_zulu> dholbach: apologies, I saw someone ask about ubuntu desktop... i thought i'd bring up a user experience issue
[18:10] <dholbach> ember: and for those packages, how is your contact with the upstream people?
[18:11] <dholbach> pace_t_zulu: no worries :)
[18:11] <persia> ember: Right.  It's just that it's mentioned by several people in your application, so while I suspect you've improved massively, what do you plan to do to ensure these issues stay gone when there is nobody reviewing your work?
[18:11] <ember> dholbach: is pretty good actually
[18:12] <ember> brasero upstream have one portuguese so its easy for me
[18:12] <ember> hamster-applet are really nice guys too
[18:13] <ember> persia: i've improved a lot actually, in jaunty the only FTFBS i had was a missing bzr add of a patch to fix FTBFS
[18:13] <ember> i'm using a lot of vm, chroots, a testing lap, piuparts etc
[18:14] <persia> ember.  I'm confident of your improvement: I'm just wondering about your strategy for testing prior to upload (in some detail).
[18:15] <ember> persia: right now before requesting for sponsoring i'm using pbuilder on my main desktop, dpkg-build on a clean install, piuparts
[18:15] <ember> a installation on a clean install on a old lap
[18:15] <nixternal> ember: I had that same problem when I first got started, the "rushing", and let me just say, you aren't the only one that has had it, I am witnessing a lot of people now doing it as well..it is tough to overcome, however your last statement about using the vm, chroots, *a testing laptop*, and piuparts is exactly the remedy...i prefer real hardware over vm, but vm works just as well
[18:16] <dholbach> geser, soren: do you have any questions for ember?
[18:16] <persia> ember, Indeed.  That does sound like a comprehensive testing regimen :)
[18:16] <ember> persia: its a MUST!
[18:16] <geser> no questions
[18:17] <geser> from me
[18:17] <dholbach> persia, nixternal: anything more from you?
[18:17] <persia> ember, Also, we typically ask applicants to specify something the don't like about Ubuntu: in part this is to identify things that need fixing, and in part this is to provide some idea of where someone is motivated to tackle a larger issue.
[18:17] <ember> nixternal: yeah i sure prefer hardware over vm
[18:17] <nixternal> ember: with that said, there are also times where you might feel a bit rushed..what I do when that happens to me, is ask for some help...I was rushed with the last kubuntu-docs package, luckily for me it turned out good kind of :)
[18:17] <persia> As it's not in your app, would you mind sharing now?
[18:18] <nixternal> persia: good catch, I would like to know as well
[18:18] <ember> persia: the only thing i think it's need fixing
[18:18] <ember> it's about claiming updates on the desktop-team
[18:18] <ember> i think huats or didrocks already mention that
[18:18] <persia> Could you explain the problem, and how you think it could be addressed?
[18:19] <ember> well when i first started to update package we used a wiki page
[18:19] <ember> but when new contributors started to appear that become quite problematic
[18:19] <nixternal> i think i know exactly what he is talking about...it is both good and bad
[18:19] <nixternal> yup
[18:19] <ember> so we started claiming on the irc channel
[18:20] <ember> which sometimes and to new contributors isn't working
[18:20] <ember> norsetto tried to fix the problem creating a webpage to address this
[18:20] <nixternal> ember: how did the webpage work out?
[18:21] <ember> http://norsetto.890m.com/desktop_packages.php
[18:21] <MootBot> LINK received:  http://norsetto.890m.com/desktop_packages.php
[18:21] <nixternal> it seemed to have worked for the Kubuntu crowd in Jaunty this go round, but I don't think Kubuntu has that large of a problem when compared to Ubuntu Desktop
[18:21] <ember> nixternal: it's didn't work
[18:21] <nixternal> ya, that problem is a tough one to fix
[18:21] <ember> we kinda need a system to people claim updates
[18:21] <ember> and also check the previous upload or people who usually uploads
[18:22] <ember> and also if the package is in sync with Debian
[18:22] <nixternal> right, like if Merge-O-Matic was a bit more interractive, that might help?
[18:22] <ember> nixternal: that would help too
[18:22] <persia> ember, OK.  How do you think the problem should be solved, and what do you plan to do to assist with that solution?
[18:22] <ember> i think huats and didrocks along with seb are going to discuss this in UDS
[18:23] <nixternal> I know there were packages that I needed to fix, but somebody grabbed them and updated before I could touch them upstream or in Debian....so I totally understand the problem
[18:23] <ember> persia: i think we can improve the webpage in that direction
[18:24] <ember> and i plan to assist in every way i can, i'm going to use it too.
[18:25] <dholbach> no questions from me... soren, nixternal, persia?
[18:25] <ember> nixternal: we usually have some package we really don't touch, only sync
[18:25] <nixternal> right, I am good dholbach
[18:25] <soren> No, I'm happy :)
[18:26] <persia> ember, One last question: you say you plan to help with the sponsoring queue: what makes a good submission?
[18:26] <nixternal> the problem that ember stated, might be something for the greater development community to discuss, as I have witnessed it now for a while with no simple fix unfortunately
[18:27] <persia> nixternal, Agreed.  If there's not a UDS discussion, it's probably worth taking to ubuntu-devel@ (and if there is, leveraging that discussion widely)
[18:27] <ember> persia: i plan to started working on sponsoring, mainly on updates/or patchs that fix a bug
[18:27] <ScottK> I did sponsor one upload from ember and it was good (hamster-applet, I think).
[18:27] <ember> and share the knowledge
[18:28] <nixternal> heh, already updates on release day :)
[18:28] <ember> ScottK: yes you uploaded hamster-applet with code from upstream to use notifications
[18:28] <persia> ember, I understand that: I'm just wondering if you can describe what makes a patch in good shape to be sponsored?
[18:28] <imbrandon> nixternal: always :)
[18:29] <ember> persia: the version correct, the diff well formed, the changelog good
[18:30] <ember> if have patches to have it documented if is from upstream or someplace else
[18:30] <ember> if it builds & installs & runs
[18:30] <persia> Anything else?
[18:31] <ember> it quite depends, if it something we want to send it to Debian we should tell
[18:32] <persia> OK.  How about in terms of the specific code changes?
[18:33] <ember> persia: that depends to, if it's something we contributor can maintain
[18:33] <ember> and if its good send it to upstream too.
[18:33] <ember> *s/we/the
[18:34] <ember> but there are some cases we should first try upstream to see if its get accepted
[18:34] <ember> in case of a large code change
[18:34] <persia> OK.  The part I'm not seeing you say is "The patch fixes an issue in a way that is sensible, and doesn't cause a regression in basic testing".
[18:35] <ember> persia: yes that too
[18:35]  * persia is done with questions
[18:35] <dholbach> ok
[18:35] <ember> there are some cases in the Desktop we tend to try it first in upstream then applying the patch on Ubuntu

[18:38] <dholbach> statik: how are you doing?
[18:38] <statik> hello hello
[18:38] <imbrandon> geser: much easier than when i did my initial MOTU infront of sabdfl and the TB :)
[18:38] <nixternal> imbrandon: ditto
[18:39] <statik> dholbach: doing great, relaxing in the sun and wishing launchpad was working better at the moment :)
[18:39] <dholbach> statik: hehe... I guess you're not the only one :)
[18:39] <dholbach> statik: do you have any immediate plans for the karmic release?
[18:40] <statik> dholbach: i sure do. i want to get couchdb updated, and i'm currently working on packaging a bunch of libraries that are needed before I can package windmill, the automated website testing tool
[18:40] <statik> dholbach: also working on ubuntu one, which should be actually available in beta at UDS
[18:41] <dholbach> statik: nice - I'm sure there's going to be a lot of interest :)
[18:42] <statik> dholbach: i also have a special interest in looking after google protocol buffers and general interest in erlang packages
[18:42] <statik> although the only erlang packages i'm currently using are rabbitmq and couchdb, so those are the main erlang related ones i'm watching
[18:43] <dholbach> statik: you've been working a bit on packaging stuff now, what was your Ubuntu development and packaging experience like?
[18:43] <statik> dholbach: it's a bit like programming in a pile of shell scripts and various tools with random incoherent syntax
[18:43] <dholbach> statik: so it was rather unpleasant? :)
[18:44] <statik> dholbach: the people and community are great, but it's a bit of shock to the system compared to programming in python or C
[18:44] <dholbach> ok, I see what you mean now
[18:44] <statik> dholbach: i'm watching vcs-package efforts with great interest
[18:44] <dholbach> geser, soren, persia, nixternal: do you have any questions already?
[18:44] <statik> dholbach: and the bzr branches for packages should help quite a lot
[18:44] <dholbach> statik: yes, I think so too
[18:45] <soren> dholbach: Not really, no.
[18:45] <nixternal> ya, nothing here really
[18:45] <geser> statik: any reason why you have so few sponsored uploads?
[18:46] <persia> statik, For application to the Contributing Developers group, the primary criteria are significant and sustained contributions within the development team.  As you mention in your application, there are only a small number of uploads for which launchpad has given you credit.  Could you talk about some of the other work you've done within the Ubuntu development community that would qualify as significant?
[18:46] <persia> (I'm guessing there are contributions as branches for which someone else had Changed-By or other similar cases)
[18:47] <statik> persia: no, i've got very few uploads so far
[18:47] <statik> persia: i did 3 new python packages last week, those are in revu now
[18:47] <dholbach> nixternal: ^ django-openid-auth - nudge nudge
[18:48] <statik> persia: a main reason of having so few so far is my spending all my time working on unreleased software at canonical
[18:48] <statik> persia: so, i'm doing quite a lot to get more software released by canonical. I also gave a lot of coaching to the guys working on the rabbitmq-server package for jaunty
[18:48] <persia> statik, I can certainly understand that, but I'm not sure it's measurably different from engagement anywhere else.
[18:49] <statik> persia: so, this doesn't change the fact that i have few uploads.
[18:49] <persia> So there isn't a huge set of work you've done that LP just isn't crediting you for?
[18:49] <statik> persia: lets say no
[18:51] <dholbach> geser, persia: do you have any more questions?

[18:58] <persia> imbrandon, So, you've been away a while: what have you done to catch up on the changes?
[18:58] <nixternal> -400
[18:58] <persia> nixternal, vote early, vote often only works in Chicago.
[18:58] <imbrandon> now i havent updated my wiki since Dapper, but most of you should be familiar with me and i'll be happy to field the q's :)
[18:58] <nixternal> persia: hold on, let me go drudge up some dead people to help vote!
[18:58] <imbrandon> persia: mostly kept up on the mailing list ( u-d-d and u-d-a )
[18:58] <nixternal> imbrandon: who are you? I am unfamiliar with you?
[18:58] <imbrandon> ALOT of reading on new policys / changes
[18:59] <persia> imbrandon, So, what do you think changed the most?
[18:59] <imbrandon> and just general "catching up"
[18:59] <imbrandon> persia: more fomality
[18:59] <imbrandon> ( not a bad thing )
[18:59] <imbrandon> but alot more struct than what i was accustomed to but not against :)
[19:00] <dholbach> imbrandon: when, roughly, was the time you got too busy with other stuff?
[19:00] <imbrandon> basicly alot of the best practices got codified
[19:00] <imbrandon> dholbach: about the begning og gutsy
[19:00] <imbrandon> of*
[19:00] <dholbach> imbrandon: do you have any plans for your MOTU membership already?
[19:01] <imbrandon> i'm esp intrested in the mono(apache and cli) packages ( some in main , but thats later )
[19:01] <soren> Sorry guys, I have to run :/
[19:01] <imbrandon> and naturally universe SRU and SWAT stuff
[19:01] <nhandler> imbrandon: What have you been doing to try and catch up on what you have missed?
[19:01] <dholbach> soren: we have nhandler for you now, so we should be all set - take care!
[19:01] <imbrandon> ( i loved doing those updates )
[19:02] <dholbach> nixternal, geser, nhandler: any questions from you?
[19:03] <nhandler> dholbach: ^^^
[19:03] <nhandler> I am curious as to what imbrandon found most useful in catching up on everything he missed
[19:03] <imbrandon> ahh missed your nhandler, umm its kinda what dholbach asked, mostly catching up the last month or so on the mailing lists and looking over the policy changes
[19:03] <nhandler> i.e. wiki pages, old mailing lists messages, talking with other developers on IRC, etc
[19:03] <geser> imbrandon: so you're trying to become MOTU again for now or do you have plans to become core-dev again too?
[19:04] <nhandler> Ok, I missed the mailing list part imbrandon
[19:04] <imbrandon> yes, i've kept my sub to all mailing lists and tried to stay acive on them
[19:04] <imbrandon> atleaste reading wise
[19:04] <nhandler> :)
[19:04] <nixternal> imbrandon: planning on working on Kubuntu stuff again, or have you gone over to the dark side?
[19:05] <imbrandon> hahahaha well i've been on the darkside since KDE 3.5 was expunged, but i still have it on my spare laptop and plan on working on it ( notifications and such to unify gnome/kde ) but actual use i'll likely stick with gnome for atleaste this cycle
[19:05] <nixternal> ScottK: ^^ enemy!
[19:05] <imbrandon> :)
[19:06]  * dholbach has no more questions. :-)
[19:06] <ScottK> nixternal: Nope.  He lives in KC, so not my enemy.
[19:06] <nixternal> hrmm
[19:06] <imbrandon> ScottK: good bbq :)
[19:06] <nixternal> no more q's from me
[19:06] <nhandler> I'm good
[19:06] <nixternal> KC != good bbq
[19:07] <nixternal> ;p
[19:07] <ScottK> nixternal: That's one theory.
[19:07] <dholbach> persia, geser: anything more from you?
[19:07] <geser> no
[19:07] <ScottK> It's too cold in Chicago for that to be a good place to form an opinion.
[19:07] <persia> imbrandon, When you left, it was somewhat precipitously, and there were some concerns that some of the stuff you had been doing was dropped without appropriate cover.  Do you feel this was incorrect, or if you feel it was correct, do you have plans to ensure it is not repeated?
[19:07] <nhandler> ScottK: We are getting 80 degree temperatures tomorrow
[19:07]  * nixternal is going bike riding in it too
[19:08] <imbrandon> persia: definaly incorrect, and since i've learned to live by the "bus rule" ( more to come .... )
[19:08] <imbrandon> the "bus rule" is make sure you are not the only one that knows some bit of info or has access, so if you are hit by a bus ( or in my case a divorce ) its not "as bad"
[19:09] <dholbach> haha... I didn't know it as the "bus rule"
[19:09] <nixternal> either did I
[19:09] <imbrandon> :P
[19:09]  * nixternal has to remember that
[19:09] <persia> Well, that's excellent news on two counts (incorrect, and "bus rule"), and unfortunate on the third: I hope all is well for you now.
[19:09] <dholbach> persia: everything from you?

[19:15] <ScottK> Eclipse
[19:15] <nixternal> ahh, I will help sponsor sure
[19:15] <nhandler> bdrung: Care to answer my qeustion about the mozilla team? I saw in your wiki that you had worked on a few extensions with asac
[19:15] <bdrung> nhandler: i have no plans th join mozilla team. i care for pwdhash and currently i touched adblock-plus.
[19:15] <nixternal> I think for Ant, I have the last upload as well as the upstream patch to fix Ant...my first contrib to the Apache product, which for some reason I am extremely proud of
[19:15] <nhandler> bdrung: So the extensions were more of a one time thing?
[19:15] <bdrung> nhandler: i also want to package htmlvalidator.
[19:16] <bdrung> nhandler: yes, it think so. but if i have time to i might touch more firefox extensions
[19:16] <nhandler> bdrung: What route are you going to go to get htmlvalidator into the Ubuntu repositories?
[19:17] <nixternal> firefox extensions? as in firefox addons?
[19:17] <nhandler> Are you going to go through REVU? Or are you going to go through Debian and request a sync?
[19:17] <bdrung> nhandler: through debian.
[19:17] <nhandler> Yes nixternal
[19:18] <nixternal> i never understood the reasoning to packaging addons when they are so easy to obtain already
[19:18] <nhandler> bdrung: Very nice. Any reason that you did not get pwdhash uploaded in Debian?
[19:18] <persia> nixternal, trust.
[19:19] <persia> (as in I trust the ubuntu-mozillateam to audit plugins for safety during packaging, but don't necessarily trust some random site online)
[19:19] <nhandler> nixternal: It also makes it easy to create meta packages that install many addons
[19:19] <bdrung> nhandler: yes: mozilla-devscripts is not available in debian.
[19:19] <nixternal> ya, I am still not sold, but that isn't up to me :)
[19:19] <nhandler> bdrung: Very good reason ;)
[19:19] <nixternal> anywho, bdrung nice sustained package contribs there
[19:19]  * dholbach is all set with questions.
[19:19] <dholbach> oh no... I have one more question
[19:20] <persia> bdrung, You cite as the major thing you don't like in Ubuntu: "there are too many bugs".  How do you think this should be addressed?
[19:20] <dholbach> bdrung: will we see a origami video of you on youtube? :-)
[19:20] <nixternal> closing them all and telling everyone to start over! :p
[19:20] <persia> Oh, and you can determine who sponsored something by checking the GPG key on the -changes list (or it should be listed with the new -changes message format)
[19:20] <nixternal> dholbach: we better see that video now that you brought it up
[19:20] <bdrung> persia: by helping fixing the bugs. :)
[19:21] <persia> bdrung, So you feel that the reason for the bugs is more about lack of hands than about how the bugs are managed?
[19:22] <bdrung> persia: partly.
[19:22] <persia> bdrung, And partly?
[19:22] <bdrung> persia: but i have no idea how to better manage the bug handling.
[19:23] <dholbach> I guess he meant "partly the one and partly the other" :-)
[19:23] <persia> heh.  That's a fair answer :)
[19:23] <nhandler> bdrung: Did you have any problems or difficulties while learning the patching/packaging basics or while interacting with the team?
[19:24] <bdrung> nhandler: nothing i can imagine of. at the beginning there were much to learn.
[19:25] <dholbach> geser, nixternal, nhandler, persia: any more questions?
[19:25] <bdrung> nhandler: but i could ask dholbach in real life.
[19:25] <geser> no
[19:25] <nixternal> I am good
[19:26] <persia> I'm done
[19:26] <nhandler> bdrung: So you have been active in the berlin loco?
[19:26] <dholbach> bdrung: advantage of packaging/bug jams! :)
[19:26] <bdrung> nhandler: yes.
[19:26] <dholbach> nhandler: YES :)

[19:27] <dholbach> ok... so who takes care of doing the honours? I have to dash for dinner now
[19:27] <nhandler> I will dholbach
[19:27] <dholbach> but don't mind doing it when I get up ... in 11h or something, maybe LP works then :)
[19:28] <dholbach> nhandler: ok... if you didn't get around to it, I'll do it :)
[19:28] <dholbach> [TOPIC] Any other business.
[19:28] <MootBot> New Topic:  Any other business.
[19:28] <persia> nhandler, Good luck getting LP to do the right thing (but at least the "is to become a foo" emails can go)
[19:28] <dholbach> thanks nhandler
[19:28] <persia> I'm amused at using MootBot voting.  We seem to either be unanimous, or decide against.
[19:28] <dholbach> Going once.
[19:29] <nixternal> going twice
[19:29] <dholbach> ... twice ...
[19:29] <nixternal> sold to the monkey named dholbach!
[19:29] <dholbach> Ok... adjourned!
[19:29] <dholbach> hahaha
[19:29] <nixternal> oops
[19:29] <dholbach> thanks everybody!
[19:29] <nixternal> no, thank you!
[19:29] <dholbach> take care my friends - and see you tomorrow again, enjoy the celebrations!
[19:29] <persia> nixternal, Didn't you read the email: "monkey" is considered a pejorative term.
[19:29] <dholbach> #endmeeting
[19:29] <MootBot> Meeting finished at 13:29.
[19:30] <nixternal> hrmm, so I should be more PC, is that what you are saying?
[19:30] <dholbach> take care guys
[19:30] <dholbach> DINNER!
[19:30] <nixternal> mmm food
[19:31] <persia> nixternal, Well, after the fuss over trying to call everyone "Ubuntu Code Monkeys", I thought you'd use other words.
[19:33] <nixternal> hahahahaha, I liked that term though
[19:34] <ScottK> IIRC the primary objection to UCM was it was considered unprofessional, not the it was pejorative.
[19:37] <persia> Oh.  I thought it was both.
[19:38] <ScottK> Could be.
[19:41] <nixternal> and Masters Of The Universe is professional? :p
[19:42] <ScottK> Picked before my time.
[19:42] <cody-somerville> MOTU is going away anyhow, isn't it?
[19:42] <nixternal> don't know yet...we were told no at UDS, that there would still be MOTU, but it would just be it a bit differently
[19:42] <ScottK> There are some TBDs in the archive reorg spec that leave me uncertain on this.
[19:45] <persia> I was fairly sure that the term "MOTU" was going to be left around for historical purposes only.
[19:46] <persia> I could be mistaken, but I don't expect it to retain value to join in the future, nor do I expect it to be used to describe any sets of developers.
[19:46] <nixternal> right, everyone was just going to be "Ubuntu Developer"
[19:47] <persia> Well, I expect there to be other subgroups within that that have different rights, but yes.
[19:47] <nixternal> the fact that people took the term "Code Monkey" and made it derogatory is a bit upsetting...I remember when it was a fun term that everyone used...then again, I might be showing my age ;p
[19:48] <persia> The important thing is that nobody will be defined in a negative fashion, as MOTU is currently defined as "those developers that have permission to upload anything not part of the 'main' or 'restricted' components".
[22:01] <StevenK> Puff, puff, I am late?

[22:04] <lool> Wasn't this handled last week?
[22:05] <lool> anyway, I sent my repo to Debian; need to actually upload it
[22:05] <lool> it was too late for jaunty especially that intrusive
[22:05] <lool> and the gtk+2.0 breakage was good reason not to upload cairo too
[22:05] <NCommander> lool, last week you said you were going to try and get it in, hence why I left it there.
[22:05] <lool> Ok
[22:05] <lool> Well I mildly tried

[22:06] <lool> Good progress on this
[22:06] <lool> I installed eucalyptus and sub-ed to amazon services; that made me understand a bunch of things
[22:06]  * NCommander is extremely dead
[22:07] <lool> I also compiled implementations ideas and researched various info such as which arch to use in the vms
[22:07]  * NCommander would love to help work on this ...
[22:07] <lool> Talked with server team folks as well; altogether good progress
[22:07] <persia> You really ought add the spec to the KarmicSpecifications page :)
[22:07] <lool> Now need to write a high level spec and I think it will be come an UDS spec
[22:07] <lool> persia: Definitely
[22:07] <lool> Actually I didn't take the time before the meeting, but I'd like to post my draft specs ideas for anybody to grab
[22:08] <NCommander> lool, we're going to have a Draft Specification talk at the end
[22:08] <NCommander> after the roadmap review

[22:09] <ogra> save it !
[22:09] <GrueMaster> Now that release has happened, I can refocus on this.
[22:10] <persia> Um, we ought chase RC bugs pre-release :)
[22:10] <ogra> thanks :)
[22:10] <NCommander> persia, that requires time :-/
[22:10] <StevenK> post ?
[22:10] <NCommander> GrueMaster, if you find a fix, we can probably SRU it if it isn't too bad.
[22:10] <GrueMaster> That was my thinking.
[22:10] <NCommander> or at the very least shove it in jaunty-backports
[22:10] <NCommander> If its absolute crack.

[22:11] <GrueMaster> btw:  Thought I'd mention that maemo is poritng to QT backend.
[22:11] <ogra> *work
[22:11] <NCommander> ew :-/
[22:11] <ogra> i registered https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/splashes-on-armel to chase that properly in karmic
[22:11] <NCommander> ogra, additional bulletpoint
[22:11] <NCommander> usplash karmic DOES work on powerpc
[22:11] <NCommander> Which means it works with framebuffers
[22:11] <ogra> sure jaunty surely also works on ppc
[22:12] <NCommander> ogra, it works great :-)
[22:12] <NCommander> er
[22:12] <NCommander> usplash jaunty
[22:12] <ogra> yes, with comon graphics HW
[22:12] <lool> We need to find out why it's borken on babbage then
[22:12] <NCommander> man, my brain has gone to mush
[22:12] <lool> or move to plymouth
[22:12] <lool> but > UDS
[22:12] <ogra> lool, we will, its a karic spec now :)
[22:12] <NCommander> lool, do we have a /dev/fb0 device in the initramfs?
[22:12] <NCommander> That could be the problem.
[22:12] <lool> NCommander: Could be

[22:13] <NCommander> lool, you usually need a driver to go with it
[22:13] <ogra> i'm not sure that makes sense now that we build on cdimage
[22:13] <NCommander> lool, hrm ... *shrug*
[22:13] <ogra> nor the next topic
[22:13] <NCommander> We have a lot of iMX51 images
[22:13] <NCommander> Anyone want one for Xubuntu and Kubuntu (both work amazingly)
[22:13] <ogra> right, all built on cdoimage
[22:13] <NCommander> so also scratch the kernel one?
[22:13] <ogra> the spec was about merging kernels manually with images
[22:14] <lool> I'm not too happy that all armel images are imx51 images ATM; I would love some common image format and some "start installer" images
[22:14] <lool> But that's also > UDS now
[22:14] <ogra> and i dont think we'll need it anymore in karmic
[22:14] <NCommander> lool, maybe draft a spec

[22:15] <ogra> no progress here ... was to busy with image testing and spec writing
[22:15] <ogra> and i dont think it needs to be tracked on the meeting page anymore

[22:16] <ogra> yes
[22:16] <persia> We just released.

[22:16] <NCommander> Uh ... ok
[22:16] <ogra> lets move on to new specs
[22:16] <NCommander> Works for me
[22:16] <persia> We need to build a new roadmap.
[22:16] <NCommander> FOr specs, I'm going to go around one by one to keep some sanity
[22:16] <NCommander> any objections?

[22:17] <ogra> was it on the roadmap ?

[22:19] <NCommander> We wanted it for jaunty, didn't get implemented. Probably something we still want for karmic
[22:19] <NCommander> Any objections?
[22:19] <ogra> needs a lot more research prior UDS this time
[22:19] <NCommander> ogra, indeed
[22:20] <ogra> there are tons of impleentations out there that havent been taken into account ...
[22:20] <ogra> +m
[22:20] <lool> Do we really want to go over each candidate spec now?  we're going to add sessions and review the full list before UDS anyway
[22:20] <NCommander> ogra, well debian-arm guys are rolling their own
[22:20] <ogra> right, and they need approval
[22:20] <NCommander> lool, I'm open to suggestions on how to do this.
[22:20] <ogra> currently they are just suggestiuons
[22:20] <persia> I don't think we have to go over them all.
[22:21] <persia> Anyway, we're about 40 specs short.
[22:21] <NCommander> Indeed :-/
[22:21] <lool> NCommander: I think we can bring up concerns we have here if anybody has any, but we don't need to go through all of them all together
[22:21] <persia> So, instead of going over them, we should all go write some more specs.
[22:21] <GrueMaster> We have a quota?
[22:21]  * ogra added 7
[22:21] <plars> do we have a list of specs we know about, that just need to be written in case others might be able to help?
[22:21]  * NCommander has a few, but only one is even Mobile related
[22:21] <NCommander> :-/
[22:21] <lool> GrueMaster: Oh you weren't told about the quota
[22:21] <StevenK> I'm at 5 or so
[22:21] <persia> GrueMaster, We have 50-60 time/room slots at UDS.  We may not fill them all, but if we can fill them, we can use them.  Otherwise, someone else gets the slots.
[22:22] <GrueMaster> ok
[22:22] <lool> plars: We have some topics which we know need to be covered
[22:22] <persia> plars, It's the "Ideas" section on the KarmicSpecifications page.
[22:22] <ogra> we have one new person starting onday in the tea btw
[22:22] <ogra> +mm
[22:22] <lool> Yup
[22:22]  * NCommander just got a specification idea
[22:22] <plars> persia: you mean the topics for discussion? I don't have an ideas section there
[22:23] <NCommander> I think we need a mobile-community-involvement to try and generate ideas of a better way of getting the community involved.
[22:23] <lool> plars: I have a bunch of specs ideas
[22:23] <persia> plars, Right.  Sorry.  I'm not in an ideal timezone for this meeting time.

[22:25] <plars> uh
[22:25] <plars> 480 or 576?
[22:25] <NCommander> Neither GrueMaster or plars are members of ubuntu-mobile; I think we should vote to add them.
[22:25] <StevenK> I don't mention size in the spec
[22:25] <plars> I thought I got added a while back actually
[22:25] <ogra> StevenK, add a11y to that too :)
[22:25] <ogra> StevenK, i know TheMuso is intrested in it on UNR
[22:25]  * GrueMaster feels left out
[22:26] <StevenK> ogra: Good point
[22:26] <persia> NCommander, Needs application and agenda item.  Maybe next week.
[22:26]  * NCommander adds it to action items
[22:26] <persia> Not action items.  Agenda items.
[22:26] <NCommander> Oh
[22:26] <NCommander> persia, do we have a formal process for membership?
[22:26] <persia> Yes.
[22:26] <ogra> yes
[22:27] <lool> StevenK: 576 is actually the screen size of the dell mini9
[22:27] <plars> lool: mini 10
[22:27] <NCommander> link?
[22:27] <plars> mini 9 is 600
[22:27] <lool> I always thought people were saying 576 because they were taking 600 minus panel size
[22:27]  * NCommander is not finding it on google
[22:27] <persia> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam
[22:27] <ogra> lool, me too, until i learned its actually the glass size
[22:28] <lool> plars: ah right sorry
[22:28] <lool> ogra: yeah
[22:28] <ogra> edavid convinced me in berlin :)
[22:28] <lool> StevenK: might make sense to target 576 and perhaps 480
[22:28] <ogra> *david
[22:28] <lool> there's a project in GNOME to support netbook perhaps down to 480 currently
[22:28] <lool> It will likely start with an usability study
[22:28] <ogra> oh really ?
[22:28] <persia> I think 480 is a good target.  I have 2 laptops that are 480 vertical.
[22:29] <lool> ogra: Yeah, on mobile-devel-list
[22:29] <ogra> i'm on that or arent i ?

[22:29]  * ogra checks
[22:29] <lool> (I proposed the first 4/5 bullet points   :-P)
[22:29] <ogra> oh, not -devel ... just -obile
[22:30] <ogra> hmm, no, actually devel
[22:30]  * ogra sees lool's posts
[22:30] <lool> Ok anything else WRT specs?
[22:31] <lool> apart of we really need to complete their filing
[22:31] <lool> NCommander: moving on to induction votes?
[22:31] <ogra> well
[22:31] <NCommander> I thought we had to do it next meeting
[22:31]  * NCommander is all for doing it this meeting htough
[22:31] <persia> We do.
[22:31] <lool> Ok I'm fine with that
[22:31] <lool> I'm not around next meeting :)
[22:31] <ogra> i wonder why we started to only have one sigle session on each spec with last UDS
[22:32] <NCommander> persia, why do we have to wait until next meeting? (stupid question ...)
[22:32] <persia> It's too early for me to remember clearly.
[22:32] <lool> NCommander: the first rule in ubuntu mobile club...
[22:32] <ogra> we used to have at least the possibility to have more than one slot
[22:32] <persia> Something about preparing things.
[22:32] <persia> ogra, We still have the possibility of more than one slot.
[22:32] <StevenK> We still do, it just isn't by default
[22:32] <ogra> with the last UDS that turnbed impossible because we had one spec for each booked slot
[22:32] <persia> It's just that most specs don't need it, so one has to ask special.
[22:33] <GrueMaster> Aren't I already a member?  I've been working with ubuntu-mobile since 2007.
[22:33] <ogra> persia, not if we file the other 40 specs you request
[22:33] <ogra> since we'll fill all our slots
[22:33] <ogra> i'd really like to propose to keep at least 10 spare slots
[22:33] <lool> GrueMaster: You're not apparently
[22:33] <ogra> so we can have two or more sessions for specs that need it
[22:33] <lool> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+members
[22:33] <persia> ogra, If we get 60 proposals, it's likely that some won't get accepted.
[22:33] <NCommander> GrueMaster, membership means your in ~ubuntu-mobile, so you get write access to our Bazaar branches and so on.
[22:33] <lool> [link] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+members
[22:34] <MootBot> LINK received:  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+members
[22:34] <NCommander> Its why I realized we need to get your membership processed.
[22:34] <ogra> persia, its still a sacrily huge amount
[22:34] <persia> ogra, Don't worry about it.  Let the ideas flow.  We can trim as needed.
[22:34] <ogra> persia, i dont expect the team to be able to finish 40 specs
[22:35] <ogra> (if we drop 30 of 70 or so)
[22:35] <persia> I don't want to not document a good idea just because you don't think someone can finish it.
[22:35] <ogra> no, thats fine
[22:35] <persia> At UDS we can determine what can get done, and what can't.
[22:35] <persia> Post UDS, we can trim the roadmap to what we can do in Karmic, and what needs to be deferred.
[22:35] <ogra> but i'd like us to be more careful with the selection and the amount of slots this time
[22:35] <persia> Pre-UDS we should merge everything, and do research.
[22:35] <ogra> if a topic is worth three sessions, we should have them
[22:36] <lool> Agreed
[22:36] <ogra> we restricted us to one per spec last UDS
[22:36] <persia> That's fine.  That's why I want the specs *now*, so there's time to review them.
[22:36] <ogra> and that was stressfull
[22:36] <lool> The previous UDS was filled with sessions, but in the end we didn't implement that many specs
[22:36] <ogra> and didnt really result in good ones
[22:36] <ogra> right
[22:36] <ogra> cut down quantity for quality
[22:37] <persia> Well part of that was because most of the specs were not even properly started when we got to UDS.
[22:37] <persia> This way we have a month to do the research, and can have more productive sessions.
[22:37] <ogra> i worked my ass off in advance for the touchscreen spec ...
[22:37] <ogra> its not true that such specs werent prepared well
[22:37] <ogra> its just a matter of time constraint
[22:37] <persia> ogra, Some of them.  Not that one.
[22:38] <ogra> we did have to do a lot of unspecced work sadly
[22:38] <ogra> but we should try to make our planning take such stuff into account for next round
[22:38] <persia> RIght, which is why I want *all* the specs now.
[22:38] <persia> Then we can pick and choose.
[22:39] <ogra> right, but if we have a similar workload next release we should limit to max two specs per person
[22:39] <ogra> and pick the right ones
[22:39] <ogra> and work them out very deeply
[22:39] <persia> Sure.  No issues.
[22:39] <persia> Let's trim, but let's get the list together first.
[22:39] <ogra> sure
[22:40] <persia> Stick in anything you think would be good.  We get as many specs as possible from as many people as possible, and following a guideline like 2 per person means we can get lots more done.
[22:41] <lool> Any other topic for today?
[22:41] <ogra> doesnt look like
[22:41] <lool> Ok; let's idle here for some 20 minutes
[22:41] <ogra> for doing what ?

 subs for all!
 t-mobile customers any way
 @govatent what separates a System76 from a high end Dell shipped with Linux?
 the hardware is picked out to work best with Linux
 plus support for it
 Yup. I know the hardware they pick won't give me any trouble with most Linux distributions
 That aside, it's just a standard laptop

[18:05] <lool> jcristau: So there's this -psb poulsbo xorg driver which is not in freedesktop upstream and we're maintaining in ubuntu in a ppa
[18:05] <lool> jcristau: I'd like to host it in a vcs
[18:05] <lool> And because xorg stuff is usually git on alioth, I was wondering whether to put it there?
[18:06] <lool> bryce: Do you think that would make sense?
[18:31] <JSeann> hello, i would like to know , where is the settings of the screen by gnome under Ibex?
[18:31] <lool> JSeann: Which setting?
[18:32] <lool> JSeann: /desktop/gnome/screen/default/0 probably?
[18:33] <JSeann> up to hardy was the settings for the screen in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:34] <JSeann> sorry, my english isn't good
[18:39] <JSeann> lool, i have not /desktop
[18:39] <lool> JSeann: GNOME will default to that, but it applies your GNOME settings when the Xorg server starts
[18:39] <lool> JSeann: These are GConf settings; you may browse them with gconf-editor
[18:46] <JSeann> the situation is, my dad has the screen resolutions set too big , and now, he has no screen ,
[18:51] <JSeann> is that right, i look in mein home-directory  in ./.gconf ?
[18:51] <JSeann> @ lool
[18:51] <JSeann> ?
[18:54] <lool> JSeann: Sorry, can't help you much more than that; I'm at a conference and am moving to the next discussion room
[18:54] <JSeann> ok, thanks lool
[19:05] <JSeann> come someone from germany ?
