#ubuntu-google 2015-12-03 <fo0bar> test <balloons> ohh, does this mean we have logging now? <balloons> yay <flocculant> balloons: I could get you a xmas present with a penny - seems you're easily pleased :D <balloons> indeed, hah #ubuntu-google 2015-12-04 <jose> balloons: yes, it means we have logging now :D <flocculant> oh meh <flocculant> how do you publish a task? <flocculant> how do you add mentors? <flocculant> jose: knome tells me you've been pinging him about gci - you can ping me :) <balloons> You can't add mentors, but you can add tasks <balloons> It's l linked from the wiki <flocculant> so how did you manage to have me as a mentor on your things? <flocculant> and I've added tasks but it just says not published <balloons> Right. I'm an admin so i can publish tasks <flocculant> aah right - that all makes sense now then :p <flocculant> so you can add mentors? <balloons> kenvandine, you should have an invite now <balloons> flocculant, yes, sure. tell me the tasks you want them added to <flocculant> https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5238616775196672/ <flocculant> https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5332896474726400/ <flocculant> add you please <flocculant> balloons: also - we're looking at some other tasks to add - possibly over the weekend <balloons> done and published. thanks <kenvandine> balloons, thx! <popey> balloons, DanChapman has a bunch of tasks to add over the weekend too <popey> balloons, also, i made kenvandine mentor for the bacon2d one ;) <balloons> popey, hehe, I saw that someone had done so :-) #ubuntu-google 2015-12-05 <g3ky> Hi, Anyone around? <g3ky> Need some help with countif in google sheets. <balloons> g3ky, to clarify, this isn't a support channel for google products, sorry. We are here to work on Google Code In tasks <g3ky> balloons, Thanks for replying. Duly noted. <samsruti> new tasks are awesome <samsruti> students will able to learn all core apps :) <samsruti> popey can you add me to review these tasks also : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13718251/ <samsruti> ^DanChapman or ^balloons <samsruti> i mean can any one of you assign these kind of tasks ? <jose> flocculant: if you need mentors added please lmk <jose> marcoceppi: you said you had some tasks to add - mind adding them asap please? contest starts on Monday! #ubuntu-google 2015-12-06 <samsruti> hey everyone :) <samsruti> i think we are going adding up many beginner tasks <samsruti> so if we add manyy beginner task then we cant determine the capability of students ( i.e choosing the Grand Prize Winners ) <samsruti> so we should add some intermediate tasks <balloons> samsruti, yes we need a good mix. I think we are doing OK on the mix at the moment. Most of the tasks we are adding from now on will not be beginner tasks <balloons> samsruti, I added you to the tasks <flocculant> added 3 tasks which need approval - thanks <wxl> just added my first task if someone can check it over https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5490678339469312/ <wxl> i wrote it for lubuntu but perhaps it would be better to add instances of a more common task (to improve bugs) <wxl> however going through lubuntu packages team is the canonical way to find lubuntu bugs so that's sort of unique #ubuntu-google 2015-12-07 <balloons> I'll look at new stuff <balloons> wxl, can you provide some links in that task? <balloons> something like " Search for bugs through the Lubuntu Packages Team on Launchpad. " isn't going to be doable by someone new <balloons> heck, even i might have trouble. A link or two would be useful. Everything else looks goods <wxl> balloons: yes, but otherwise good? <balloons> Yes wxl <balloons> o/ <balloons> I see some new tasks DanChapman ;-) awesome <balloons> wxl, are you going to be able to edit https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5490678339469312/ to add some links? <tvoss> o/ <kenvandine> hey tvoss <flocculant> hi peeps <kenvandine> hey flocculant <balloons> hey guys.. 30 mins till the gates are opened, hehe <balloons> I'm not sure how sudden the rush will be, lol <tvoss> balloons, is there an official "we are open" channel somewhere? <balloons> tvoss, we're preparing an annoucement that will go out across official social channels <tvoss> balloons, ack, I thought about something officially google <balloons> this IRC channel, and the mailing list we've been using will be continued to be used by mentors and students alike <balloons> tvoss, yea, I assume as much, but I'm not sure. This is our first time doing GCI, and the first time in a long time we've done anything like this with Google <balloons> I mean, I'm sure there will be an annoucement from them, but it's not clear how they do recruitment efforts for students <tvoss> balloons, ack <tvoss> I'm grabbing a quick bite <samsruti> i m very excited as being an mentor <samsruti> i wish i could be a student and can try to win the SF trip :P <samsruti> lol <gjeet> Gates are open! * inder is ready <samsruti> yeahoo :D * gjeet is ready too :P <popey> \o/ <kenvandine> yay <DanChapman> \o/ <balloons> wahoo! <balloons> we've posted an annoucement to the fridge <balloons> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/12/07/google-code-in-2015-student-registration-now-open/ <samsruti> wooow :D <balloons> the first students have already taken tasks <balloons> flocculant, the first task taken was to run the manual tests for xubuntu :p <flocculant> \o/ <nuboro> hi <DanChapman> hey nuboro! <nubo> hi i cant register when i click next nothing happen <inder> Hi nubo <inder> refresh the page <inder> and wait for some time <inder> sometimes it takes time <balloons> yes, there is probably a bit of a rush to signu <balloons> *signup <nubo> i did that and wrote it again ich clicked next but nothing happend again <gjeet> Which browser are you using ? <nubo> firefox <gjeet> Do you have chrome browser ? <nubo> no but i am installing it <gjeet> hmm okk great! <balloons> nubo, it seems indeed google is aware of a problem with firefox and registering at the moment <samsruti> We are getting good response to our tasks :D <wxl> balloons: yes, working on it now. sorry weekend was a blur of activity <balloons> wxl, ack, ty <flocculant> balloons: just a thought - but is there anything in the general you can do things for Ubuntu that mentions they're going to need SSO account to do anything ? <balloons> flocculant, we can put together a student guide if you will, and we have the ability to link that on every task <balloons> If you want to colloborate with some folks on a wiki page of some content, I'd be happy to link it. It would be useful <flocculant> just wondering how many instances of 'I can't login to foo' we'd get :) <samsruti> yeah thats a good idea balloons <balloons> maybe drop it under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn/ <balloons> so something like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn/StudentGuide ? <flocculant> of the top of my head - SSO, bzr at least <flocculant> balloons: copy/paste the QA Set up Launchpad and Bzr/ Working with Bzr branches and Launchpad perhaps <balloons> flocculant, you could simply link them :-) <flocculant> or just link to them and not worry too much about the 'detail' <flocculant> yea :D <balloons> A little blurb about, hey this is ubuntu sso. hey this is launchpad, link to hepl <balloons> etc <balloons> :-) <nuboro_> hi can someone assign me https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4635551793676288/ please <gjeet> nuboro: you are already assigned, you can start working on it <nuboro_> thanks <gjeet> This year a student can assign a task to himself/herself. So if you claim a task that means, task is assigned to you and you can start working on it. <balloons> nuboro_, glad you were able to get registered <nuboro_> yes i tried chrome and there it works <balloons> they say firefox should be working again fyi <flocculant> balloons: got a basic SSO/bzr info page there ^^ now - gtg for a bit <balloons> ty ty! <balloons> tasks are updated and should have a blurb on that page <balloons> fyi to mentors, we can't review students tasks at the moment. There's a bug google is working on <gjeet> balloons: ok! thanks for update <gjeet> I was just wondering if there's any irc channel just for mentors and google developers <nuboro_> a question can the mentors now look at the task https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4635551793676288/ <balloons> nuboro_, they can't review it at the moment due to a bug. But it will be reviewed asap, don't worry <flocculant> gjeet: good point <nuboro_> yes its clesr that they dont can do it so fast but i wasnt sure if i submitted it <flocculant> nuboro_: it clearly says you submitted it to me :) <nuboro_> and know i submitted it so it doen't matter <nuboro_> yes :) <flocculant> balloons: gjeet makes a rather pertinent point - this channel I suspect will get noisy :) <balloons> flocculant, yea, if we feel the need to have a mentors / admins only chat, we can create one. Everyone seemed to like the idea of one channel <flocculant> right <flocculant> let's see how it goes then I guess :) <neel> Hello, my name is Neel and I'm participating in the Google Code-in <inder> Hi Neel <inder> Nice to hear that, how's it going? <DanChapman> Hi neel :-) <amitoj> hello neel <neel> I'm trying to work on this task : https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/4911452473262080/?sp-status=2&sp-is_exhausted=False <neel> It's basically to redesign the interface of the Shorts app <neel> Can I use Sketch to work on it? It's a proprietary software, but I'm most comfortable with it <popey> neel, sketch is fine. <neel> Okay, thanks :) <popey> neel, we have an inkscape based tool which can also be used <popey> but I appreciate people may need to use what they're most familiar with <neel> What is the tool you are using? I'm open to learning new tools <popey> https://github.com/halfsail/Ubuntu-UI-Toolkit <popey> Grab the svg, open in Inkscape <popey> It's really easy, like building with lego :) <neel> This looks good, I'll try it out <neel> Thanks! <popey> No problem! <nuboro_> for many tasks you need to know qml <nuboro_> is there somewhere you can learn sth about it <DanChapman> nuboro_, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/apps/ is a good place to start <nuboro_> DanChapman thanks <DanChapman> nuboro_, you will find lots of documentation and tutorials to get you going <Luis_> Hello, I need help in something. I picked up a task for making an ad campaign, do you know if I can use an existing song or there are any copyright restrictions? <nuboro_> and are there task you only need to know a bit qml <balloons> Luis_, it's probably best if you use something like freemusicarchive <balloons> http://freemusicarchive.org/ <DanChapman> From what i see most of the tasks that require just qml should be ok for someone with limited knowledge. And there's plenty of folks here who can help you if you don't understand something <DanChapman> nuboro_, ^^ <balloons> reviews are working now. Feel free to review / approve <rioc0719> Hey, I'm Cristian and I recently claimed the "Build the terminal app and run all testsuites" task for Google Code-in, and I'm having some trouble running the tests <balloons> rioc0719, sure, what's going on? <Luis_> Alright, I will check out that site, thanks for the help balloons! <wxl> balloons: um, in the process of doing some regular sysadminy stuff, i deleted /etc so bear with me on those links O_O <rioc0719> When I run `autopilot run ubuntu_terminal_app` like it says in the Readme, I get the error "could not import package ubuntu_terminal_app: No module named ubuntu_terminal_app" <rioc0719> Excuse me if I'm making some stupid mistake, I've never used the Ubuntu SDK or autopilot before <balloons> rioc0719, you probably ran it from the root directory, and autopilot can't find the module <balloons> trying running the same command under tests/autopilot <balloons> also, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/platform/guides/running-autopilot-tests/ if you need more help <bun_> hi how does Convince and convert users from Microsoft Windows to GNU/Linux works <bun_> how can you see if its done <rioc0719> Running it from the tests/autopilot directory doesn't work, but I'll look through those docs and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the link! <balloons> bun_, sure. For that task, you can share the story of who you got to use GNU/Linux. I'll have the mentor update the task with a list of specific questions you should answer <balloons> rioc0719, sorry to hear that :-( ohh are you using autopilot3 or autopilot command? <balloons> autopilot3 is the python3 version, and everything should be using that now <rioc0719> I'm using the autopilot command, but I just tried it with autopilot3 and it's not working either <balloons> rioc0719, ok, I can let you troubleshoot so more if you wish. But happy to help if you need it <rioc0719> Ah, I think I just figured out what I was doing wrong, I was running autopilot in the build directory like it says to do in the readme, but it actually has to be run from the source directory <rioc0719> Thanks for your help, balloons! <balloons> rioc0719, ohh! That sounds like something that could be fixed in the readme. Would make a nice task to file and fix that issue <rioc0719> balloons, should I try filing an issue or should I just stick with the task? <balloons> rioc0719, you can stick with the cisneroselizabeth@example.net. I'll make a task for you to fix the problem if you are interested <balloons> It needs fixing either way :-) <rioc0719> balloons, I would be interested in that task <balloons> rioc0719, ok, give me a few moments and I will create. Thanks! <rioc0719> balloons, Thanks for the task and for all your help! I'm glad I could assist the project. <balloons> rioc0719, check out the task entitled 'Fix the README's for terminal' <rioc0719> balloons, Excellent! When I'm done with this task, I'll make sure to do that one next. Thanks! <Hulk> any mentors <SmajevicIrfan> Hello everyone, I'm doing this task: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6605604168663040/ <balloons> hello Hulk <balloons> hello SmajevicIrfan <gaurav_shukla> yep mentor here <Hulk> how do you claim task <SmajevicIrfan> Nicholas Skaggs has told me to first do the problem 'Setup a development environment for the QATracker', but do I abandon the one I'm doing and do the one he recommended or do I stick with this one? <balloons> SmajevicIrfan, hey, that's me :-) I'd recommend doing the setup first. The task you are working on will be much easier once you've done it <balloons> and if you like working on qatracker tasks, we have more to add <SmajevicIrfan> balloons, oh, thank you <gaurav_shukla> hi Nicholas, I would like to be added as a co mentor on this one https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5477576877277184/ <SmajevicIrfan> that would be great, they're fun <nuboro_> who is nicholas ? <Hulk> I am Doing this https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5091474953732096/?sp-organization=4568116747042816 <Hulk> ok I will see you tomarrow <balloons> nuboro_, myself <nuboro_> ah ok because you said that i should test the programm i send a 2 screenshot (I think it has sth to do with that) but i dont know how to do it specifically <nuboro_> balloons : ^^ <balloons> nuboro_, ahh, yes testing calendar. Do you see the qml tests? <balloons> under test/unitests, there is a .qml file with the tests in it <nuboro_> balloons calendar.qml ? <balloons> nuboro_, tst_date.qml. See it? <nuboro_> jes <nuboro_> yes <nuboro_> that i opened in qt and send a screenshot but then i dont now what to do <balloons> ok, so use the qmltestrunner to run that file <balloons> like this <balloons> qmltestrunner --input tests/unittests/tst_date.qml <balloons> something like that <nuboro_> in terminal <balloons> yes <balloons> you just need to pass the path to the qmltestrunner as input <balloons> it's that simple <balloons> tvoss_, ping <tvoss_> balloons, pong <nuboro_> isend a screenshot but i dont think it is right <nuboro_> balloons ^^ <balloons> nuboro_, I will look <gaurav_shukla> anyone aware if there's a GCI leaderboard this year ? <jun1707> Not so sure, haven't really checked out everything on the site yet. <balloons> no idea <jun1707> It's sad to be a person who has slow internet connection... Especially when all the files are big. <SmajevicIrfan> balloons, on this site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/DevEnv the link http://YOUR_SERVER/?=admin/config/services/qatracker doesn't have a q after ?, but it should #ubuntu-google 2015-12-08 <xcub> I have a question regarding ubuntu booting process <xcub> I tried to update to 15.04 from 14.04 by using "sudo do-release-upgrade". Then I restarted the system and was met by the error message: <xcub> "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init <xcub> "/sbin/sh: 0: can't access tty: job control turned off" <Sicilians> hello? <Sicilians> for the task of organizing the youtube videos of these UOS events, how many should I put in my playlist and should i put in quick review videos of the event <Sicilians> whats up raj <Sicilians> okey den <McIntireEvan> lol <McIntireEvan> Whats up? <Rajvinder> hi <McIntireEvan> hi <ExplodingKittens> Evening all <McIntireEvan> Sup? <ExplodingKittens> Installing Thunar from source, slowly and painfully. Yourself? <McIntireEvan> Just got my Ubuntu VM setup and fast enough to use, getting SSH details setup <ExplodingKittens> Oh, very nice. What host OS are you using? <frogerman1234> Are you asking me? <McIntireEvan> Windows 10; I would have dual booted by now but my computer was having issues booting from usb, so I gave up on. How about yourself? <ExplodingKittens> frogerman1234, oh no, sorry, I was asking McIntireEvan. That was my bad. <frogerman1234> Its ok i just logged in to ask a question and what you typed was the first to appear <ExplodingKittens> McIntireEvan, I use Windows 8.1 as my host. I've got a working install of Ubuntu GNOME on another partition that I use for video editing, but I figured it was a bad idea to gunk it up with too much development stuff. <McIntireEvan> ExplodingKittens, yeah, makes sense, I use a ubuntu vps but I I also need the GUI for all these tasks so I setup a VM <ExplodingKittens> McIntireEvan, yeah, I got my VM (mostly) set up about a week ago, since downloading programs-- especially the Ubuntu SDK --takes ages on my internet. Then I realized that for most of the tasks, I need to download Ubuntu 16.04 anyways. Whoops. <darkxst> ExplodingKittens, there will be some Ubuntu GNOME tasks appearing over the next day if you are interested <McIntireEvan> ExplodingKittens, ouch, what kind of internet speed do you have? <ExplodingKittens> darkxst, I'll be keeping an eye out for those. Thanks for letting me know! <ExplodingKittens> McIntireEvan, 0.5 mbps down/~0.25 mbps up. <McIntireEvan> ExplodingKittens, jeez, that's awful. Im so sorry :( <ExplodingKittens> It's not too terrible, it just makes installing and updating stuff last way longer than it really ought to. It's a good thing the tasks give plenty of time. <David_Grey> Hi all <ExplodingKittens> Sorry, forgot to append McIntireEvan to that last message (again). <jose> hey everyone! <jose> ExplodingKittens: just got here, you experiencing any problems? <David_Grey> I'm good <jose> David_Grey: glad to hear :) already grabbed a task? <McIntireEvan> ExplodingKittens, it's cool, no worries :) I'm not sure my exact speeds, especially over wireless, but when I was torrenting the iso I was getting ~2mb/s <ExplodingKittens> jose, not at the moment, no. Thanks for asking though, and welcome! :) <McIntireEvan> Yo, jose! <jose> hey, McIntireEvan! <David_Grey> @jose Nope. Just browsing <jose> David_Grey: cool :) you should grab a task, though! :) <jose> ExplodingKittens: cool, here to help if anything pops up! <ExplodingKittens> McIntireEvan, oh wow, not bad! Yeah, I've found wired to be a bit quicker, but pretty inconvenient. I used to just plug my laptop into LAN and go that way, since the router was usually right next to me. <darkxst> jose can you add amjjawad as a mentor on https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5908025948766208/ <jose> darkxst: sure! gimme one sec, finishing up some stuff over here <McIntireEvan> ExplodingKittens, yeah, I live near Washington DC so speeds tend to always be good. Our router is downstairs and I usually have my laptop in my room so it's slower, but the speeds are still good enough <darkxst> jose, I also added a couple of other tasks that need publishing, more to follow though <jose> darkxst: 10-4. let's check on that first task though <ExplodingKittens> McIntireEvan, yeah, your location is definitely a good place for speedy internet. I live in the middle of the woods, almost literally, in Missouri, so the selection for ISPs is relatively sparce. <jose> darkxst: updated and published :) <tsimonq2> check 1 2 <McIntireEvan> ExplodingKittens, jeesh, yeah, I can imagine <tsimonq2> jose: nope, I should have voice <jose> tsimonq2: hey, is this your regular nick? <tsimonq2> jose: yep <jose> or is it without the 2? <jose> oh, unaffiliated/tsimonq2 <tsimonq2> jose: nope, just regular tsimonq2 <jose> set! <tsimonq2> yay! <tsimonq2> thanks! <jose> np :) * tsimonq2 needs to set it up so he can idle here <jose> lol <jose> znc ftw <tsimonq2> no, I just need to get things set in irssi lol <jose> tsimonq2: uh, irssi. port 22 blocked everywhere! <jose> darkxst: do you have links to the tasks you created so I can review them? <darkxst> jose, sure <darkxst> https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5087053553336320/ <darkxst> https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5459760312745984/ <theghostinthemac> whats up <tsimonq2> jose: the only thing is, as a mentor, I still need the parent form signed. I am working on that, but for now I am not "officially" a mentor <McIntireEvan> theghostinthemac, nothing much, just waiting for some installs to finish. How about you? <tsimonq2> jose: as I am 13 but I am already involved with Ubuntu <jose> tsimonq2: I assume that's already on the works by now? <theghostinthemac> I am waiting for parental consent form approval <jose> darkxst: reviewed and published, both of them <darkxst> jose, thanks <jose> theghostinthemac: have you claimed a task already? you can start working on one in the meanwhile :) <jose> darkxst: no prob! <theghostinthemac> yeah, I have <theghostinthemac> i gtg <jose> cool :) <tsimonq2> jose: just about to get it signed, actually <jose> tsimonq2: great. glad to have you on board! <tsimonq2> jose: for the signature, does it have to be an actual signature, or can it just be a printed name? <jose> tsimonq2: if the person's signature is their printed name (mine is, for example), then the printed name. but signature in general. <tsimonq2> ok, cool <tsimonq2> but can it be typed text, or does it have to be written? <jose> samsruti: I'll edit that a bit and change the topic, but gimme a couple mins <jose> tsimonq2: written, as with a pen <tsimonq2> oh <samsruti> sure jose :D <tsimonq2> adueppen: hello :D * jose changed the topic of #ubuntu-google to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Google Events Coordination channel! || Now running: Google Code-In || codein.withgoogle.com <adueppen> tsimonq2: hi <jose> who's using Slack? >.> <tsimonq2> jose: do I have to return the whole waiver or just page 2? <tsimonq2> not me <.< >.> <jose> tsimonq2: the whole agreement, scanned and in one PDF file <tsimonq2> oh. <tsimonq2> ook <tsimonq2> *ok <jose> or at least that's how it was in my times <SlackBridge> <mike> I am... sorry. :( <jose> we prefer to use IRC instead of slack for various reasons. we'll have a discussion on that tomorrow on the mailing list, I suppose <mynameismevin_> that's unfortunate. I'll prolly be unreachable via working hours then. :( <mynameismevin_> we use slack at work, and my bot sits outside the network, so it forwards all the traffic. <tsimonq2> jose: can I literally have my mom read it, print out page 2, take a picture of it, then I just find a way to replace page 2 in the PDF with the picture, *then* send it? <jose> mynameismevin_: have you tried irccloud.com? <jose> tsimonq2: too much workaround for something so simple? <tsimonq2> jose: this would be so much easier if I couls just return page 2 :P <tsimonq2> *could <jose> well, again, I think you're trying to complicate yourself about something so simple. scanning a page doesn't take more than a minute :) <tsimonq2> so I would only need to scan page *2*? <tsimonq2> and then just send *that*? <tsimonq2> or do I need to find a way to work it into the PDF <jose> scan both of them and send in both of them <jose> you can even use 'convert *.jpg name.pdf' and that's it to turn it into a pdf <tsimonq2> both of them being? <jose> page one and two? <tsimonq2> I only need a signature on page 2 of 6 <tsimonq2> why should I go through the trouble of scanning all 6? <jose> well, you can do what you want, but I'm telling you what I did when I submitted my forms. <jose> you're free to submit it as you wish <tsimonq2> oh...well... * tsimonq2 is just gonna have his mom scan it then send the jpg :P <darkxst> jose, another https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5949767225966592/ <jose> darkxst: let's check! <jose> darkxst: fixed a grammar thingy but it's published now <Luis_> Hi, I need help with submitting a task. How do I submit a task when I have to attach (around 175 mb)? <mynameismevin__> Luis_: can you upload it to google drive, make it public, then share the link? that's always an option. <samsruti> Since it was a channel for students and mentor so i got confused should i post in public :P <samsruti> Hi Luis_ <jose> oh, it's a channel for everything GCI :) <samsruti> Cool :D <jose> Luis_: hey! the page doesn't allow you to attach such big files? <jose> Luis_: also, if you have a link at the task so I can double check we're on the same page <Ayush> I have selected this job :) Build the calendar app and run all testsuites .. Need help . I am 13 years old . I am new to open source world. Can anybody please guide me if i need to install ubuntu for this task <Luis_> +mynameismevin: Mmm, that sounds like a good option. This is the first time I participate in this, could you please give me a quick tutorial to submit the task, I would really appreciate that! <Luis_> jose: this is the link https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6276860962930688/ <Luis_> Thanks for the help! <jose> Luis_: as mynameismevin__ suggested, you can always share a link. we can work on getting the source from you later :) <Ayush> I have selected this job :) Build the calendar app and run all testsuites .. Need help . I am 13 years old . I am new to open source world. Can anybody please guide me if i need to install ubuntu for this task <Luis_> jose: Thank you, thatÂ´s very helpful. IÂ´ll just figure out how to submit the task and do it that way <jose> Ayush: yes, you are intended to use Ubuntu on all (or most) tasks <Ayush> Ok thanks. <jose> more information about how to do it can be found on the task itself <Ayush> Ok :) Will try that <jose> Ayush: if you still need help after reading everything, let us know and we'll do our best <Ayush> Definitely . Will get back to this if i face any problem <jose> enjoy! <ahoneybun> I has voice? <ahoneybun> \o/ <Xyz-zy> hi, I'm looking at the tasks and "What release of Ubuntu used ?" seems to be a common requirement, does this mean I need to install Ubuntu before doing any code-related tasks? <Xyz-zy> I have Linux Mint, which I think is based on Ubuntu, but I'm really new to it <jose> Xyz-zy: I'd say you are better working with Ubuntu or any of the official flavors (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu GNOME, Mythbuntu) <Xyz-zy> jose: thanks! maybe I'll install Ubuntu as my first task then <areke> Hi! Is it possible to develop on osx, or should I try to dual boot into ubuntu/install a vm for development? <MatthewAllen> I'm not 100% sure, but I'm running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine as I believe that quite a few of the tasks require Ubuntu <areke> Yeah I suppose Ubuntu is needed to test all of the code. I realized that right after I finished setting up bzr :P <darkxst> jose, another add amjjawad on this one also: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/4544892818685952/ <darkxst> jose, popey, balloons: ^ : also see this which needs amjjawad as mod also https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/6590206979342336/ <Ayush> How to do dual boot <Ayush> with ubuntu <Ayush> Help! <Ayush> Its getting tough on my part :( <amitoj> Which Operating system you have already installed? <Ayush> Windows 10 <Ayush> amitoj: I have Windows 10 currently. <amitoj> okay then Simply install ubuntu on another drive Like windows 10 is install in C drive then install Ubuntu in D or E drive <Ayush> ok.

So what I should do next after just installing ubuntu and sdk ? <Ayush> What actually I have to come out with at the end as a result to submit ? <Ayush> I am a beginner failing to understand the instructions :( <Ayush> Provided by ubuntu <MatthewAllen> Anyone else stuck still waiting for Parental Consent to be approved? <hunar> what should be the dimensions of the sticker <hunar> anyone please help me out <hunar> ??? <hunar> anyone up there? <DanChapman> hunar, hi there! So i just looked at the description of the sticker task and it states "The size and the shape of the sticker is whatever you like." :-) <hunar> kk <hunar> thank u sir <tvoss_> good morning :) <DanChapman> hunar, your welcome :-) <DanChapman> morning tvoss_ :-) <tvoss> ah, I see the channel has slightly grown since yesterday <darkxst> Ayush, its an existing app, and the task says what info to submit <gaurav_shukla> hi popey I created a task to create promotional video, now the participant is asking if there are any legal complications if he tries to compare other os to ubuntu <popey> gaurav_shukla, hard to know without knowing what they are planning to say :) <popey> gaurav_shukla, fact is we can't possibly know the laws in every country, but I think typically common sense prevails <gaurav_shukla> so what should I suggest ? although there are tons of videos already on the web comparing x os to y os or x thing to y thing so I don't think that should be an issue here <popey> right, i agree <gaurav_shukla> also he's having trouble uploading the video for review on the code in website so he asked if he could submit a link to video and upload the video on youtube <popey> sure <popey> seems sensible <Nuruddinjr> Hi there, i would love to take some Code In challenges but can't see any submit button, <edot> i have claimed the task for building terminal and run all testsuites <edot> and i couldn't understand where to start <Nuruddinjr> how to claim a task <edot> could any of you help me <edot> should i just install sdk and fork the branch of terminal <edot> and run testsuites <Nuruddinjr> edot> How to claim a task <edot> click on the button #nuruddinjr <gaurav_shukla> edot may be balloons o popey could help you with that <popey> edot, which part are you stuck with? <Nuruddinjr> apparently i dont have a button yet :-) I am getting a parental consent app error here <Nuruddinjr> ** on gci web site <edot> nuruddin then you should click the link to verify <edot> and enter the details for your parent/guardian (email) <edot> popey i stuck with how to start building the app <Nuruddinjr> I am getting the app got an error" <Nuruddinjr> message <popey> edot, you have the SDK installed? <edot> i am using cygwin <edot> is it possible to install and run sdk using cygwin <popey> no. <popey> You need to install Ubuntu either on a machine, or in a virtual machine such as vmware or virtualbox <edot> okay. <edot> so after installing sdk should i fork the repo from launchpad and run testsuites <edot> could you tell me the sequence in which i should complete this task <edot> being a noob its kind of intimidating and i am uncertain of what i had to do <popey> I appreciate the feedback edot :) <gaurav_shukla> What to do If i suspect one of the participant has copied from some other source in order to complete the task <Arctos> Hello <MatthewAllen> Anyone know if we're supposed to build and run the calendar app through the Ubuntu SDK or the terminal??? <DanChapman> MatthewAllen, I would say use which ever method you would prefer to use <hunar> @amitoj, pls check my task <hunar> i have resubmitted it <hunar> please review it * hunar slaps hunar around a bit with a large fishbot <darkxst> hunar, you probably don't want to slap mentors with fishbot's! ;) <MatthewAllen> Cam someone give me a hand with the Calendar App task to build and run it, after building it using Cmake and attempting to execute it I am prompted with a file browser to select a QML file, what am I supposed to do??? <hunar> @darkxst, u might see that i didnot slap mentors, i slapped myself.. :p lol <DanChapman> MatthewAllen, what steps have you taken trying to run it? <DanChapman> MatthewAllen, IIRC calendar is pure qml so you should be able to just use qmlscene. Have you read the README file? <MatthewAllen> DanChapman, Attempting to do it through the qmlscene command returns the error "module "QtOrganizer" is not installed" <Sean64_home> Hello World! <DanChapman> MatthewAllen, Check you have "qtdeclarative5-qtorganizer-plugin" and "qtorganizer5-eds" packages installed <Sean64_home> Excute me, I want to do GCI's Interview a Community Member Task, what can I do? <DanChapman> Sean64_home, Hi! The task description gives some good indicators of what to do and where to look. I would suggest you first start by learning what the various teams in Ubuntu do and go from there :-) <darkxst> hunar, well that is just as bad! your supposed to be having fun here ;) * vedk slaps vedk around a bit with a large fishbot <hunar> hahaha... lol yeah.. @darkxst <Sean64_home> hunar: @ is mean he is OP, you can direct call his nick name. <hunar> kk <hunar> op! <Sean64_home> btw, OP is not part of IRC, it is a (optical) module of IRC. <MatthewAllen> DanChapman, I sorted out those missing packages however I'm now getting "module "Ubuntu.SyncMonitor" is not installed, I have installed SyncMonitor using apt-get and I'm still getting the issue. <DanChapman> MatthewAllen, Hmmm have you installed the ubuntu-sdk? <MatthewAllen> DanChapman, Don't worry - fixed it! I needed to install the package "qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-syncmonitor0.1" <MatthewAllen> DanChapman, Thankyou for the help :) <DanChapman> MatthewAllen, great! your welcome :) <darkxst> hunar, no one here is mean, I think all what Sean64_home meant is you don't need to use "@" when pinging people <Arctos> Hello <Arctos> Can anyone help me with Ubuntu 15 problems? <popey> didrocks, added all your desktop tasks, they need reviewing to put the right durations in them, and make sure categories are correct. <popey> didrocks, can you see them? (I don't know if you can as they're not published) <MatthewAllen> Can someone please give me a hand, I'm attempting to run the Autopilot tests on the Ubuntu-Calendar-App, Autopilot is finding the test modules without issue but when I attempt to run any tests it returns the following error; "ERROR: unittest.loader.ModuleImportFailure.calendar_app.tests.test_weekview" <didrocks> popey: yeah, I can I don't know how to ensure I can grab all of them though <didrocks> ah, my tasks show them as well <didrocks> popey: good, putting duration and publishing them (this afternoon) <popey> \o/ <popey> i made 20 instances of the "giant" one <popey> we can always make more <didrocks> popey: yeah, saw that, sounds ok, I'll ensure we don't have too many of them in parallel to ensure we don't have overlaps :) <didrocks> popey: thanks! <Ritz_> How to find bugs <Ritz_> ? <didrocks> popey: all done (changed time, category, number of instances for someâ¦), they can be published I guess now (seems i can't do it myself) <popey> didrocks, all published (assuming I pressed the buttons correctly) <jun1707> Hi, I need help... I'm trying to run tests on the calendar app, however, when I choose autopilot, no tests appear on the list. <didrocks> popey: you didn't push hard enough, some aren't :p <didrocks> (5 of them) <popey> fixed! <popey> I need a new mouse button now <didrocks> popey: you're not lying this time \o/ <popey> \o/ <didrocks> thanks ;) * didrocks hugs popey <popey> \o/ <nuboro> hi <Arslan> Hi! <nuboro> how are you <nuboro> in this https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5878439395459072/?sp-organization=4568116747042816&sp-status=2&sp-is_exhausted=False you should test it but what should you do then <DanChapman> nuboro, I would have thought you would add your test results to the iso tracker http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/351/builds/108302/testcases but I would check with the mentor for that task first :-) <nuboro> yes ok <jun1707> Help please. When I run autopilot for the calendar app, it'll give an error. "ImportError: No module named ubuntuuitoolkit" <jun1707> How do I fix this? <nuboro> the same happend to me <paarthri> Trying to use autopilot3 to run test scripts in the music-app touch app. All the tests fail and the exit code is -6. What should I do? <kenvandine> hey xcub, glad you sorted out your upgrade issue <kenvandine> xcub, sorry I didn't respond earlier <Kaushal_> hi/join <balloons> jun1707, nuboro, you need to install ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot <balloons> paarthri, can you post a log of what happened? <balloons> paarthri, use pastebin or something similar :-) <jun1707> balloons, thanks. Will try that out. :D <nuboro> balloons thanks but i already have that <jun1707> Ooo, great, it works now after installing that and another dependency. Thanks a lot. <balloons> jun1707, glad to hear it! <jun1707> Haha, well, after fixing that problem another problem appears. <jun1707> Starting /usr/bin/autopilot3-sandbox-run... E: Xephyr executable not found. Please install Xephyr /usr/bin/autopilot3-sandbox-run exited with code 1 <balloons> jun1707, ahh. Anothe rpackage <balloons> xserver-xephyr should do the trick <balloons> or run with the -X <Sean64_home> Hi, I claimed the "Install Ubuntu" task, I need what? (Ex. Screenshot, installed iso file) <Sean64_home> (I am Debian user now) <Sean64_home> alan_g: You can use the command /away <Sean64_home> I will install in gnome-boxes <jun1707> Okay, so I've run the tests, and it gave me 32/33 failures... <jun1707> What now? <jun1707> "Your task is to build the app and successfully run it and it's testsuites on your desktop." that was given. <balloons> jun1707, that's alot of failure, but submit that screenshot / log and you should be good <jun1707> Hahaha alright then will do. <balloons> Sean64_home, yes, for install ubuntu task a screenshot and answer the couple questions about what you installed and why <Sean64_home> balloons: Excute me, I don't know what is "installed and 'why'". <McIntireEvan> Sean64_home, I think what flavor (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lububtu, etc.) and what version number (14.04, for example, it can be found by following instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckingYourUbuntuVersion) <McIntireEvan> And then also talk about why you chose that one, like if you liked the UI in it more than the other ones, or even just if you didn't really know what to install <nuboro_> @balloons i have installed that but there is the same error <Sean64_home> In fact I just skimps for this task, because I was played (?) Ubuntu half year ago.... <balloons> nuboro_, posting a log will help out a lot. It's hard to know what's happening without being able to read what you are reading <nuboro_> @balloons i went to ~/ubuntu-calendar-app/tests/autopilot <nuboro_> then i tested $ autopilot3 run calendar_app <nuboro_> the rest is at the screenshot for the task <nuboro_> sorry for the circumstances <jun1707> 'module "Ubuntu.SyncMonitor" is not installed' Ahh... I see what's the problem now... <balloons> nuboro_, have you used something like pastebin.com before? Copying and pasting the log from your terminal will help alot. Then just provide the link to it. <balloons> nuboro_, I will look at the task screenshot in a moment <nuboro_> http://pastebin.com/1bXVct24 <jun1707> this time install <jun1707> address-book-service-testability <balloons> nuboro_, aha. So do you see 'ImportError: No module named 'address_book_service_testability'' ? That's the issue. You need to install address-book-service-testability <jun1707> 'module "Ubuntu.SyncMonitor" is not installed' anyone knows how to fix this? sync-monitor is installed already though... <balloons> we have a task to expand the README's for the core apps to make this easier. It's clearly a little difficut now <balloons> jun1707, what's the context? <jun1707> Well, the first time I ran the calendar app, it showed up just fine. (forgot to screenshot) but now trying it again, that's the response. <balloons> smajevicirfan, you about? <smajevicirfan> @balloons, you asked me about the error on the wiki <balloons> smajevicirfan, yes, thank you. I've fixed it now. <balloons> smajevicirfan, I was going to ask if you were going to go ahead and try fixing some qatracker issues now. If so, I'll make sure to get more added <Sean64_home> Excute me, I done the task Install Ubuntu, please review, thanks. <smajevicirfan> @balloons, I actually was, but the one where the title had to be changed seems to be claimed :/ <balloons> smajevicirfan, ahh indeed so. Let me add another one for you <balloons> just a moment <balloons> jun1707, on your error, that seems really weird. I'm not sure <jun1707> balloons, the full error: http://pastebin.com/mQhSk12H <DanChapman> jun1707, ahh that's because Ubuntu.SyncMonitor isn't yet included in the Ubuntu SDK desktop kit. Try running "qmlscene calendar.qml" in your terminal <balloons> DanChapman, interesting.. is that filed somewhere? <DanChapman> balloons, i believe zoltan is onto it. He said a week or 2 and the platform api's should be in the desktop kit it currently only has the uitk & qt modules. I haven't checked for a bug report though :-/ <balloons> ok, no worries. If he knows about it, then :-) <smajevicirfan> balloons, the url on the wiki still isn't right, should be ?q not q? <balloons> smajevicirfan, :-) <balloons> fixed. <smajevicirfan> balloons, just saw it :-) <jun1707> Okay alright then thanks a lot. <balloons> smajevicirfan, I created 'Change QATracker top 20 page to top 100' <nuboro_> balloons there is another error <nuboro_> http://pastebin.com/gpNPPDjq <nuboro_> and the calendar app opens many times <balloons> nuboro_, I think you've got the tests to at least run <nuboro_> :) ok so wait a lot off time <balloons> I understand it's been a little difficult in getting things setup. We've added a task in response to make it easier. <balloons> anyways, I would approve this task now. I hope you at least figure out how all the tools for the core apps work now, so if you had to do it again, you could :-)_ <nuboro_> yes then i could do it <nuboro_> balloons ^ <balloons> nuboro_, :-) <nuboro_> shall i send a screen shoot <balloons> nuboro_, yes, please do. And feel free to send for review <nuboro_> but it failed <nuboro_> http://pastebin.com/KJeEzqbx <balloons> ohh.. I thought you said things ran.. I'm sorry <ahayzen> balloons, "PyGIWarning: UbuntuAppLaunch was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('UbuntuAppLaunch', '2') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded." is what Carla and Victor have been seeing with music on xenial btw <balloons> ok, do you have all the dependencies installed? I know you've been adding some <balloons> ahayzen, uh-oh <nuboro_> no the auto ran <ahayzen> balloons, i randomly saw in the desktop meeting... '<Laney> â¢ New upstream of g-i, for some reason we have a delta now' <ahayzen> maybe that has broken something as Victor said it *was* working <ahayzen> balloons, what Victor now gets if it helps http://paste.ubuntu.com/13824636/ ;-) <nuboro> i think i have all <nuboro> this error always come Binary content: FailedTestScreenshot (image/png) <balloons> let me try <balloons> ahayzen * ahayzen hugs vivid <balloons> hehe.. works for you on vivd? <ahayzen> not sure, i use adt-run on device :-) <ahayzen> and i have uc1.2 not uc1.3 so it won't work anyway ;-) <ahayzen> balloons, what are you guys recommending for the applicants to be running on? Wily? <balloons> ahayzen, nothing I suppose. But most are on trusty or vivid <ahayzen> ok <balloons> whoops.. looks like my dist-upgrade got cut off lastnight <balloons> so my bzr is broken, amongst other things * balloons waits <nuboro> http://pastebin.com/i1XCaYEK how can you solve this problem <balloons> nuboro, what version of ubuntu are you running on? <balloons> it sounds like there may be a brand new bug preventing running these tests <nuboro> 16.04 LTS <nuboro> @balloons ^^ <ahayzen> yeah, seems anyone on Xenial has a broken G-I <balloons> nuboro, right. So as ahayzen is saying, that's the issue. <balloons> nuboro, that means I think you are ok. Explain the bug and submit the screenshot. <hunar> amitoj sir, i think i have deleted that file :'( <balloons> 16.04 / xenial is a development version, and it can have bugs like this <balloons> it's a work in progress, and not yet offfically released <nuboro> where shall i explain it ? @balloons <balloons> nuboro, in your submission for the task <amitoj> oh hunar its okay no worry :) <nuboro> ok <hunar> amitoj sir, when will it be approved? the parental consent! this much long it takes!! <amitoj> @hunar it will be approved very soon. As it will be approved by Google itself. :) <Girish> Hi! I'm working on the task to build the Ubuntu Calendar app. Do I need to install qt5 on my machine to build it? The README says that it needs qmlsceneviewer and qt5 to 'run' it. But I'm not sure whether running and building are the same thing. Thanks! <popey> You need to install it, yes. <popey> Which you will get if you install the SDK <hunar> thank u amitoj sir! <popey> https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-sdk/installing-the-sdk/ <Girish> I installed the sdk but I'm not able to run it. <hunar> sir, can i get ur phone number or facebook ID? <nuboro> @balloons i have send the bug and the screenshot <balloons> nuboro, just send for review then <Anvith> @girish this video may help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNr3Y0kTSkI <nuboro> yes that i also did <Girish> My machine says qmlscene: could not find a Qt installation of '' when I try the command qmlsceneviewer calendar.qml <balloons> Girish, just run it as qmlscene <Girish> Same error. qmlscene: could not find a Qt installation of '' <Girish> I'm on Ubuntu 15.04 if that matters. <kenvandine> Girish, do you have the package qmlscene installed? <kenvandine> /usr/bin/qmlscene comes from qt-chooser <kenvandine> qtchooser rather <kenvandine> Girish, i suspect if you install qmlscene, you'll be good <Girish> Okay I'll install qmlscene and try again. <nuboro> .seen goal <Girish> I installed qmlscene and now I'm getting a different error <Girish> ubuntu-calendar-app/calendar.qml:21 module "QtOrganizer" is not installed <goal> .hey nuboro <nuboro> hi <goal> how does this google code-in thing work/nuboro <nuboro> there are tasks <goal> i selected the task on making a calander <nuboro> you can take one <nuboro> ok then were you on this website https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/community/core-apps/calendar/ <kenvandine> Girish, progress :) <goal> but how do u do it <nuboro>
