[15:44] <mdke> Rocket2DMn: I can't figure out that bug you are experiencing. I guess you are missing the symbolic link at /usr/share/gnome/help/libs? [15:46] <Rocket2DMn> hey mdke [15:46] <Rocket2DMn> i just ran across the bug report when i was triaging yesterday, and i was able to reproduce it [15:46] * mdke nods [15:47] <Rocket2DMn> i didnt try to read very much into the output, let me have a look at the attachments i uploaded [15:47] <mdke> Rocket2DMn: I've asked for the output of a couple more commands, if you have time [15:48] <Rocket2DMn> sure let me wake up the laptop [15:49] <Rocket2DMn> heh yeah that directory is empty [15:49] <mdke> it exists? [15:50] <mdke> it should be a symbolic link pointing at /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/libs [15:50] <Rocket2DMn> i just posted back, the directory exists but it is empty [15:51] <Rocket2DMn> negative, it is its own directory [15:51] <mdke> how bizarre [15:52] <mdke> I'm stumped about that [15:52] <Rocket2DMn> that laptop has been upgraded since Feisty [15:52] <mdke> aha... [15:53] <Rocket2DMn> its always been to a stable release though, i dont use it for development testing [15:53] <mdke> I think that in gutsy and feisty that directory may not have been a symbolic link, so I guess what has happened is that it didn't get removed, and therefore the symbolic link can't be created [15:54] <Rocket2DMn> i see in Jaunty that it is a symlink [15:54] <mdke> it should be in Intrepid too [15:54] <Rocket2DMn> its not a symlink in hardy [15:55] <mdke> does it have files in it in hardy? [15:55] <Rocket2DMn> yeah [15:55] <Rocket2DMn> they are symlinked though [15:55] <mdke> ok, that must be the issue [15:56] <mdke> i don't know how to fix that :) [15:56] <Rocket2DMn> idk how updates are configured during upgrades, but i guess you need to run a command to check for a symlink, and if it doesnt exist, then delete the directory and create the link [15:56] <Rocket2DMn> like a bash script with some if/then statements [15:57] <mdke> maybe [15:57] <Rocket2DMn> i dont actually patch bugs for Ubuntu, i drew the line at triaging [15:58] <mdke> I'll ask one of the developers who knows all about packaging [15:58] <Rocket2DMn> ok, do you want me to post the source of problem to the bug report? [15:59] <mdke> thanks for your help debugging that issue [15:59] <mdke> Rocket2DMn: no, that's fine. I think the bug report has the right info now [15:59] <Rocket2DMn> ok, no problem [15:59] <Rocket2DMn> and thank you for the testimonial last week [15:59] <mdke> pleasure [16:00] <Rocket2DMn> did you go to UDS Jaunty? [16:00] <mdke> no [16:00] <mdke> I've never been to a developer conference [16:01] <Rocket2DMn> i havent either, but i would loved to have gone to this one. I was from the Bay Area, and I have a friend who works at Google, I could've gotten in no problem [16:01] <Rocket2DMn> didnt think my company would fly my 3k miles for that though [16:02] <mdke> heh [16:02] <mdke> I can't really see myself getting the time off either [16:02] <Rocket2DMn> yeah same, woulda been great if they could fly me out there and give me a charge number [16:03] <mdke> indeed [16:03] <Rocket2DMn> apparently it was decided (or just announced) at UDS that the Forum Council can now approve Ubuntu Members [16:03] <mdke> ok. I know it's been talked about for a bit [16:04] <mdke> personally, I thoroughly disapprove of team councils being permitted to approve Ubuntu members, especially now that we have a great regional board system [16:04] <mdke> if team councils do it, you lose the benefit of contributors being seen by other areas of the community, because teams just appoint members from their own section of the community [16:05] <Rocket2DMn> yeah, I think the idea was that it could be granted to outstanding contributors to the forums. [16:05] <Rocket2DMn> however i do wish the forums were more integrated with the rest of the community, and having to go to regional boards is one way to encourage that [16:05] <mdke> that's exactly my point [16:06] <Rocket2DMn> there is discussion right now about how another mod and i who are currently on the regional board application list are going to go through the approval process. i'm all for staying with the regional board, like everybody else does [16:06] <mdke> it's up to you :) [16:07] <Rocket2DMn> we'll figure it out soon, it would be nice if they set a date for the next meeting though [16:09] <j1mc> hi a [16:09] <j1mc> all [16:10] <Rocket2DMn> hello [16:12] <j1mc> is there talk of a docteam meeting? [16:12] <mdke> no :) [16:13] <Rocket2DMn> lol, we dont actually have many people who sit in this channel, and those that do dont speak [16:13] <j1mc> yes, it's pretty rare [16:13] <mdke> I don't think we have had a meeting for a number of years now, it wouldn't be a bad idea [16:14] <Rocket2DMn> i would very much like to know what duncan lithgow was doing onthe community docs and how we can clean it up [16:16] <j1mc> i know that we had tried to coordinate a meeting during the hardy release, but couldn't work out schedules. [16:17] <j1mc> it should be a busy doc cycle for me, as xfce needs new docs for xfce 4.6 [16:17] <mdke> cool [16:17] <j1mc> fortunately, work has mellowed out some for now. [16:17] <j1mc> so not as many late nights. [16:18] <Rocket2DMn> hehe, thats good [16:19] * mdke ducks out for a bit [16:19] <j1mc> have a good day, mdke [16:19] <Rocket2DMn> see ya mdke [16:19] <Rocket2DMn> hmm CategoryX and CategoryXwindowSystem |
