[15:44] 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] hey mdke [15:46] 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] i didnt try to read very much into the output, let me have a look at the attachments i uploaded [15:47] Rocket2DMn: I've asked for the output of a couple more commands, if you have time [15:48] sure let me wake up the laptop [15:49] heh yeah that directory is empty [15:49] it exists? [15:50] it should be a symbolic link pointing at /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/libs [15:50] i just posted back, the directory exists but it is empty [15:51] negative, it is its own directory [15:51] how bizarre [15:52] I'm stumped about that [15:52] that laptop has been upgraded since Feisty [15:52] aha... [15:53] its always been to a stable release though, i dont use it for development testing [15:53] 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] i see in Jaunty that it is a symlink [15:54] it should be in Intrepid too [15:54] its not a symlink in hardy [15:55] does it have files in it in hardy? [15:55] yeah [15:55] they are symlinked though [15:55] ok, that must be the issue [15:56] i don't know how to fix that :) [15:56] 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] like a bash script with some if/then statements [15:57] maybe [15:57] i dont actually patch bugs for Ubuntu, i drew the line at triaging [15:58] I'll ask one of the developers who knows all about packaging [15:58] ok, do you want me to post the source of problem to the bug report? [15:59] thanks for your help debugging that issue [15:59] Rocket2DMn: no, that's fine. I think the bug report has the right info now [15:59] ok, no problem [15:59] and thank you for the testimonial last week [15:59] pleasure [16:00] did you go to UDS Jaunty? [16:00] no [16:00] I've never been to a developer conference [16:01] 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] didnt think my company would fly my 3k miles for that though [16:02] heh [16:02] I can't really see myself getting the time off either [16:02] yeah same, woulda been great if they could fly me out there and give me a charge number [16:03] indeed [16:03] apparently it was decided (or just announced) at UDS that the Forum Council can now approve Ubuntu Members [16:03] ok. I know it's been talked about for a bit [16:04] 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] 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] yeah, I think the idea was that it could be granted to outstanding contributors to the forums. [16:05] 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] that's exactly my point [16:06] 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] it's up to you :) [16:07] we'll figure it out soon, it would be nice if they set a date for the next meeting though [16:09] hi a [16:09] all [16:10] hello [16:12] is there talk of a docteam meeting? [16:12] no :) [16:13] lol, we dont actually have many people who sit in this channel, and those that do dont speak [16:13] yes, it's pretty rare [16:13] I don't think we have had a meeting for a number of years now, it wouldn't be a bad idea [16:14] i would very much like to know what duncan lithgow was doing onthe community docs and how we can clean it up [16:16] i know that we had tried to coordinate a meeting during the hardy release, but couldn't work out schedules. [16:17] it should be a busy doc cycle for me, as xfce needs new docs for xfce 4.6 [16:17] cool [16:17] fortunately, work has mellowed out some for now. [16:17] so not as many late nights. [16:18] hehe, thats good [16:19] * mdke ducks out for a bit [16:19] have a good day, mdke [16:19] see ya mdke [16:19] hmm CategoryX and CategoryXwindowSystem
