[11:05] <seb128> those upgrade bugs are so annoying
[11:05] <seb128> gedit failed to install due to an error 139, that's not a gedit bug!
[12:58] <maxb> I've disabled the desktop login sound in gnome-sound-properties, but it still plays. Could someone nudge me toward the appropriate package in launchpad to check for bugs, and give me any hints about how to debug this?
[12:59] <kwwii> maxb: the sounds are set in the ubuntu-sounds package
[13:00] <maxb> Yes, but that's principally just media files, they get interpreted and played by something else
[13:00] <kwwii> right
[13:01] <maxb> gnome-sound-properties looks like it has written appropriate stuff in ~/.local/share/sounds/__custom/, and the gconf key is specifying the __custom theme
[13:01] <maxb> yet the sound still plays
[13:02] <kwwii> freaky

[15:36] <tedg> pitti, seb128, Are you guys following DevKit-power? Do you expect it to be in Jaunty?
[15:36] <seb128> no, and no idea about that
[16:34] <NCommander> seb128, poke?
[16:34] <seb128> NCommander: hey
[16:34] <NCommander> seb128, any plans to fix libgtk2-perl?
[16:35] <seb128> don't ask me, I don't do perl updates ;-)
[16:35] <NCommander> Who would?
[16:35] <seb128> I didn't know that it was broken
[16:35] <NCommander> The test suite is causing a FTBFS
[16:35] <seb128> aren't we on sync on debian for those?
[16:35] <NCommander> (it passes fine on real hardware, but the buildd enviornment causing it to go boom)
[16:36] <NCommander> I think so
[16:36] <seb128> I would ask on #ubuntu-devel rather
[16:36] <NCommander> The last sync broke it on powerpc and sparc
[16:36] <NCommander> The next one broke it everywhere :-)
[16:37] <seb128> what error?
[16:38] <NCommander> seb128, the test suite tries to draw windows with GTK
[16:38] <NCommander> for obvious reasons this fails on the buildds
[16:38] <seb128> weird
[16:38] <seb128> usually xvfb-run is used for such things
[16:38] <NCommander> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19651936/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.libgtk2-perl_1%3A1.190-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[16:38] <NCommander> it is
[16:38] <seb128> so that's not obvious why it fails on the buildd
[16:39] <NCommander> pretty much
[16:39] <NCommander> When I tried it here, it didn't FTBFS
[16:39] <seb128> try asking lool
[16:39] <seb128> he did workaround such issues for pygtk before intrepid
[16:39] <NCommander> Thanks
[16:39] <seb128> or look to the pygtk changes he did
[16:41] <seb128> NCommander: try to -no-reset thing mentionned in the changelog maybe
[16:41] <seb128> NCommander: you can probably do ppa uploads to try
[16:41] <NCommander> no-reset?
[16:41] <NCommander> which changelog?
[16:41] <seb128> read the pygtk changelog
[16:41] <seb128> the one is the debian directory
[16:41] <seb128> apt-get source pygtk
[16:41] <seb128> cd pygtk-version
[16:42] <seb128> cd debian
[16:42] <seb128> editor changelog
[16:42] <NCommander> seb128, do you have an issues with the ARM porters team doing uploads of GNOME packages to fix porting issues? (I just don't want step on anyones toes as we work on porting main :-))
[16:43] <seb128> NCommander: you can upload to main now? ;-)
[16:43] <NCommander> Nope
[16:43] <NCommander> But I've kidnapped a few sponsors
[16:43] <seb128> NCommander: no issue no, other people have been doing uploads and the desktop team is not actively working on jaunty yet
[16:43] <NCommander> Perfect
[16:43] <NCommander> Thanks
[16:44] <seb128> you're welcome
[16:44] <NCommander> I'll make sure to keep you in the loop if we need to do anything EVIL :-)
[16:45] <seb128> right
[16:45] <seb128> or better, don't do anything evil ;-)
