I'm going to use this to make an empty package in the meantime. I just realised that I actually have a bunch of files that spew out a proper .deb when you run "debuild -c -us -uc -tc" (which is thanks to ajmitch and mark tully)

jokerdino

I think I would start writing my own Unity lens.

A: Create my own unity lens

Michael Hall has written a python library simplifying Unity lens development. You can browse the source code of the bazaar branch online or get a copy of the branch using the command: bzr branch lp:singlet Useful link: http://mhall119.com/2012/01/simplified-unity-lens-development-with-singlet/

Stefano Palazzo

@jokerdino if you want to write your own lens, using the code from the AskUbuntu lens is a great way to start

just remove everything that looks vaguely related to AU, and you have a barebones lens that you can make into anything you like

jokerdino

That would be a good way.

I just need the code for that :D

Stefano Palazzo

to get the code, you can run this:

jokerdino

BTW, when is the data dump coming?

bzr checkout lp:askubuntu-lens

then "cd askubuntu-lens/" and "debuild -c -us -uc -tc" to make your own .deb file. just go through all of the files first and change names and paths according to your code

ssh: connect to host bazaar.launchpad.net port 22: Connection refused
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

Stefano Palazzo

you might need to add your launchpad account to bzr, and set up pgp and ssh keys in launchpad

jrg

@jokerdino have a ssh key registered with LP?

jokerdino

launchpad.net/~jokerdino

Stefano Palazzo

are the ssh and pgp keys on your LP account current (i.e. stored on your computer)?

the ssh key should be at .ssh/id_rsa.pub

telling bzr about your launchpad account works like this:

bzr launchpad-login bob

jokerdino@jokerdino-laptop:~/.ssh$ ls
id_rsa  id_rsa.pub  known_hosts

Unable to copy ownership from "/home/jokerdino/.bazaar" to "/home/jokerdino/.bazaar/bazaar.conf". You may want to set it manually.

Booo

Now, this is getting more complicated.

Stefano Palazzo

you can cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub and check that it matches this: launchpad.net/~jokerdino/+sshkeys

if it doesn't, just set up a new key (much easier)

jrg

ssh keys are a dime a dozen, compared to pgp keys

jokerdino

The ssh keys match.

Stefano Palazzo

uh, hang on

jokerdino

May be I would just log out and login. Hang on

it says "connection refused"

jrg

is really glad his pgp key expires a week-ish before 12.04 release

wait.

so is launchpad down?

Stefano Palazzo

I just checked out the code

maybe a firewall blocking outgoing connections on port 22 or something? do you use ssh normally?

jokerdino

May be there is a network firewall.

And I have never used ssh

Was it Ground control?

I tried setting it up yesterday and left it half way.

Stefano Palazzo

I vaguely remember that. I think it extends Nautilus

so that you have buttons for bzr actions on repositories.

jokerdino

Yeah, it asked me to restart Nautilus.

Stefano Palazzo

it wouldn't surprise me if the switch to gnome3 broke ground control for the latest version of ubuntu

jokerdino

It probably did. Because I never got ground control to work

Stefano Palazzo

well, there was an update a few days ago

jokerdino

I just purged ground control and bzr still doesn't work. :(
