[15:17] <smagoun> moblin-applets in hardy depends on libhildon1>=2.0.1, which isn't in hardy (hardy instead has libhildon-1-0. That dependency isn't explicit in the debian/control file, so presumably a builder did the wrong thing? What's the right way to fix?

[15:46] <patm> Fenario, let me know if you get my swap day request, it complained when I submitted it
[16:02] <smagoun> StevenK: ^^^^^^ it's only 0300 there, why aren't you still at work?? :P
[16:29] <smagoun> Mithrandir: ^^^^ re: moblin-applets
[16:48] <ComradeHaz> Hi gents. I trust I'm right in my belief ubuntu-mobiles not made it onto the HTC tytn II aka Kaiser aka AT&T Tilt

=== robr_ is now known as robr
[17:34] <amitk> ComradeHaz: you are correct
[17:36] <ComradeHaz> ta
[17:36] <ComradeHaz> sucks to be right ;)
[17:42] <amitk> heh
[17:57] <d4ri0> does a phone stack mostly use AT commands over a serial port?
[18:06] <Mithrandir> smagoun: file a bug; we need to adjust the shlibs and rebuild moblin-applets.
[18:21] <smagoun> Mithrandir: thanks, I'll file a bug. The problem's actually in libhildon's rules file, I guess that's worth a bug too.
[18:23] <ChickenCutlass> Mithrandir, Do you think it is ok to add an entry in NetworkManager's dbus config to allow the user ume access?
[18:24] <ChickenCutlass> Mithrandir, By doing so it fixes the nm-applet bug we talked about last week

[18:38] <raji> tonyespy, you there?
[18:40] <raji> tonyespy_, you there?
[18:40] <tonyespy_> raji: yes
[18:40] <raji> tonyespy_, how did the testing go with marvel v9 driver?
[18:42] <tonyespy_> raji: I didn't get much further... right now I'm trying to get our modified network-manager and nm-applet into the mobile ppa for hardy
[18:42] <raji> tonyespy_, I see , then I will test that today..
[18:43] <tonyespy_> raji: test the v9 driver?
[18:43] <tonyespy_> raji: on gutsy?
[18:43] <raji> tonyespy_,yes
[18:43] <raji> tonyespy_, yes
[18:44] <tonyespy_> raji: OK...
[18:45] <tonyespy_> raji: FYI, we're trying to switch to Hardy this week and it appears the v9 drivers aren't in Hardy. I just cc'd you on an email to robr and crew...
[18:46] <raji> tonyespy_, Another question, while rootcausing the 'create new network', I see that iw_set_ext in nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_mode is returning error, I used wext driver option for wpa_supplicant,
[18:46] <raji> tonyespy_,ok
[18:46] <tonyespy_> raji: with v8 or v9?
[18:47] <raji> tonyespy_ with ath_pci
[18:47] <tonyespy_> raji: that's the name of the module, not the version
[18:48] <tonyespy_> if you're using v8, you have to use the marvell-specific driver module in wpa_supplicant
[18:48] <tonyespy_> I'm not sure it's worh testing with v8
[18:50] <raji> tonyespy_, I am testing with ath_pci on my samsung q1 ,not on our release hardware menlow...
[18:51] <raji> tonyesp_, it is ath_pci 0.9
[18:51] <tonyespy_> raji: Oh... ath_pci is the low-level module of the madwifi stack. madwifi has very poor support for adhoc, so you probably won't get too far.
[18:52] <tonyespy_> raji: you have to manually switch the mode of the driver from infrastructure to adhoc-demo
[18:52] <tonyespy_> raji: even then it may not play with other non-Atheros wifi cards
[18:52] <raji> tonyespy_, I changed the wireless interface to use adhoc mode and changed the code to use 'wext' instead of madwifi
[18:52] <tonyespy_> raji: you would be *much* better off trying to test using the v9 driver on a crown beach...
[18:53] <tonyespy_> raji: I'm pretty sure "adhoc" mode doesn't work, however the separate "adhoc-demo" mode does....
[18:53] <raji> tonyespy_, I am not aware of that 'adhoc_demo', is it a mode
[18:54] <tonyespy_> raji: I haven't worked with madwifi for awhile... so most of this is from what I recall on the madwifi mailing list.
[18:55] <raji> tonyespy_ will try that on crown beach..
[18:55] <tonyespy_> raji: again, I think you're better off working with the Marvell / Crown beach combination cause that's what our customers will be using. adhoc is tied very tightly to the driver being used.
[18:56] <tonyespy_> raji: keep me posted
[18:57] <raji> tonyespy_, another question , networkmanager 0.6.5 dont have ability to configure static ip , is it worth trying to root cause this as it anyway fails in the stage 5
[18:59] <tonyespy_> raji: right now, there's no plan to do anymore work on nm 0.6.5. If I were testing adhoc, I'd do so first without NM or wpa_supplicant and just try and use iwconfig/iwpriv, etc...
[18:59] <tonyespy_> raji: I'm not even sure adhoc works for *any* drivers in 0.6.5.
[19:02] <raji> tonyespy_, 0.6.5 doesnt support adhoc with 'any' driver, then I can just make sure if driver supports it or not .
[19:03] <raji> tonyespy_, ok , I will try it on crownbeach and see what happens..I will let you know..
[19:04] <tonyespy_> raji: correct. If the driver doesn't support it, then it's pointless to try it with NM and wpa_supplicant. Good luck!
[20:04] <d4ri0> raji: 'ahdemo' mode is not 802.11 standard so it won't work with other cards unless they support it
[20:05] <d4ri0> raji: people like ahdemo (as opposed to ad-hoc) because there are no beacons, and the stations do not need to be associated in order to receive
[20:25] <smagoun_> bfiller__: I pushed a fix to bzr, but it doesn't show up on launchpad yet. Do you know if there's supposed to be a delay before my revision shows up on LP?
[20:28] <smagoun_> StevenK: Please rebuild libhildon for Hardy to fix LP: 189041
[20:30] <bfiller__> smagoun_: yes, there will be a slight delay
[20:31] <bfiller__> StevenK: please build hildon-desktop as well as the patches are done
[20:32] <smagoun_> StevenK: Please rebuild moblin-applets too (LP: 189058)
[21:44] <StevenK> smagoun, bfiller__: The simplest way is to either push the changes to bzr, and then ping me a lot to upload it, or just tell me what I screwed up and let me fix it. I'll fix libhildon, and wait for it to get published, and then rebuild moblin-applets, and then I'll look at hildon-desktop.
[21:46] <smagoun> StevenK: I pushed the libhildon change to bzr already, it just needs uploading
[21:47] <StevenK> smagoun: I saw that, thanks so much.
[21:47] <StevenK> smagoun: And to answer your implied question about your push not showing up on Launchpad, it does take a little while to appear.
[21:47] <smagoun> StevenK: I can give you a .dsc or a debdiff for the moblin-applets rebuild. I wasn't sure whether it's easier for you to use one of those or just do the rebuild yourself.
[21:48] <smagoun> StevenK: thanks. I figured it out after a couple minutes of F5F5F5F5 :)
[21:49] <StevenK> smagoun: To be completly honest, it's very easy to trigger a rebuild (it's only a new changelog entry), so I'll just fix it.
[21:49] <smagoun> ok, that's what I figured
[21:49] <StevenK> smagoun: Maybe we want to think about putting moblin-applets into bzr?
[21:50] <smagoun> StevenK: we could do that, sure.
[21:51] <StevenK> smagoun: Right, libhildon uploaded. It will take until :04 or so to show up as published, and then another publisher cycle for the binaries. I have to wait until that publisher run is done before uploading moblin-applets or hildon-desktop.
[21:52] <smagoun> StevenK: thanks much. Our nightly build will pick up the changes automatically at about 0800UTC
[21:52] <StevenK> smagoun: About moblin-applets, let's play wait and see -- see how much stuff we need to change in it, and how much work we have to do together on it.
[21:53] <StevenK> smagoun: At 0800UTC I should have all three (and *hopefully* libosso) sorted out.
[21:53] <smagoun> ok, that works too. We're fine working with patches for now.
[21:54] * StevenK kicks tomboy.
[22:09] <smagoun> StevenK: BTW I filed bug 189058 for the moblin-applets rebuild
[22:09] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 189058 in moblin-applets "Rebuild moblin-applets to fix bad libhildon dependency" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/189058
[22:10] <bfiller__> StevenK: for some reason, debuild still fails even after fetching fresh hildon-desktop unless I use -i.bzr. What can I do to fix this?
[22:10] <bfiller__> StevenK: did I forget to commit something?
[22:12] <StevenK> bfiller__: No, the reason it fails is because it can't represent the changes to the files under .bzr
[22:13] <bfiller__> StevenK: how do I fix that?
[22:13] <StevenK> bfiller__: Export it from bzr as opposed to pulling -- you won't be able to push things into bzr from that one, but you won't have to add -i.bzr
[22:15] <bfiller__> StevenK: ok, thanks
=== Sciri_ is now known as Sciri
[22:22] <Mithrandir> ChickenCutlass_: no, we should fix it so that when the desktop session starts, pam_foreground knows you're on the console.
[22:24] <StevenK> smagoun: Still around?
[22:24] <smagoun> StevenK: yup
[22:25] <StevenK> smagoun: Can you check git for m-i-c and see if fsets for m{ccaslin,enlow}-hardy-whatever still mention moblin-chat?
[22:26] <smagoun> StevenK: Only the mccaslin-lpia and menlow-lpia fsets mention moblin-chat. I think this is correct.
[22:27] <StevenK> Sounds good to me.
[22:27] <StevenK> smagoun: When did you want to get the new m-i-c into Hardy?
[22:28] <StevenK> smagoun: I have to upload it to fix mccaslin (since I'm a bozo), but if you're ready for the new shiny upstream, we can push that in.
=== rzr is now known as rZr
[22:29] <smagoun> StevenK: anytime. I expect it might need to be coordinated with Mithrandir; I don't know how the nightly build gets its MIC, and the configs changed incompatibly at some point recently.
[22:29] <smagoun> nightly build=the Ubuntu nightly; we have our MIC built for gutsy here
[22:30] <smagoun> StevenK: If you want to push your fix now we can deal with shiny upstream later on. I don't want to lose out on MOTU points though! :)
[22:33] <StevenK> smagoun: Right, I've pushed my fix.
[22:40] <smagoun> StevenK: OK. What was your fix? do I need to redo the 0.40 package?
[22:40] <StevenK> smagoun: My fix was to take the changes I made for menlow's fsets to the mccaslin fset.
[22:40] <StevenK> smagoun: Which was in the diff I sent you
[22:41] <smagoun> ok, I think I pushed those into all the fsets save the moblin ones for 0.40, so we should be all set.
[22:43] <StevenK> Yay!
[22:44] <smagoun> StevenK: I'm heading home, send me email if you need anything
