=== zwnj [n=behnam@213.207.210.231] has joined #launchpad
BjornTSEJeff: sure. on which page are you trying to file the bug?07:38
SEJeffhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/i386/linux-image-2.6.20-9-generic/2.6.20-9.1607:39
=== shawn__ [n=shawn@adsl-70-231-255-214.dsl.snfc21.sbcglobal.net] has joined #launchpad
BjornTSEJeff: hmm. it really should be easier to file a bug from that page, atm it's not intuitive.07:46
BjornTSEJeff: the thing is that the bug should be filed on the corresponding source package in ubuntu.07:46
BjornTSEJeff: so you have to start with following the link to the feisty source package on the bottom of the page07:47
SEJeffBjornT: Seriously, it doesn't make sense. A UI that is so unintuitive, a non-newb can't figure out how to file a bug is kind of stupid07:47
SEJeffHow does the lp team expect newbies to file bugs? </launchpad-rant>07:47
BjornTSEJeff: from there you have to follow the link to the linux-source-2.6.20 package on the top of the page, and there you should have a "report a bug" link on the left07:48
LaserJockgenerally you wouldn't start from that page though07:48
BjornTSEJeff: how did you end up at that page to begin with?07:48
SEJeffpackage search for linux-image07:49
LaserJockgeneraly you'd start from launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug or the source package page07:49
SEJeffActually, wouldn't a new user start at launchpad.net and then click ubuntu to file a bug against "ubuntu"? Or am I incorrect?07:50
SEJeffLaserJock: But thanks, I'll bookmark that07:50
LaserJockyes, exactly07:50
LaserJockthat's what the url above is07:50
LaserJockthat's what you get when you start at launchpad and click on the file a bug against ubuntu07:50
SEJeffLaserJock: I see it now. My workflow was: Go to lp.net, see "The Ubuntu Distro" click, search for packages, ...07:52
LaserJockright, but you still should have been ok07:52
SEJeffI skipped over the bugs link at the top left07:52
SEJeffThanks07:52
BjornTSEJeff: i agree that it should be possible to file a bug using your workflow as well.07:53
LaserJockit is though, he just went too far :-)07:53
BjornTthat's one way of looking at it :)07:54
SEJeffLaserJock: Is there a RFE page for launchpad?07:54
SEJeffBecause that seems like something a normal user would do07:54
LaserJockBjornT: it would only make sense really to have a link where he was if it was "File a bug against this version"07:55
LaserJockBjornT: which would be cool07:55
LaserJockbecuase filing a bug from that page would indicate you are interested in a particular version07:56
BjornTSEJeff: for small features like this it's easiest to file a bug at https://launchpad.net/malone/+filebug07:56
SEJeffI understand that apport + the kernel patches and core_pattern are all supposed to be magic, but when it doesn't work, that is a pain07:56
SEJeffI was really hoping that apport would catch the oops and report it, but it caught something and then killed itsself07:56
LaserJockhow is it a pain?07:57
BjornTLaserJock: yeah, it could be useful to include the package version there.07:58
SEJeffLaserJock: Because a fairly straightforward workflow leads to an insensitive Bugs link. I almost decided to not even report the oops because of that actually08:00
LaserJockI don't really understand08:00
LaserJockyou just overlooked the filebug link08:01
SEJeffok. When glancing over lp.net, I missed bugs08:01
SEJeffCorrect08:01
SEJeffAnd saw the most prominent Ubuntu Distribution on the page08:01
SEJeffSo of course, I want to file a bug against Ubuntu, so I click it08:01
SEJeffBut that leads to a dead end08:01
BjornTLaserJock: i think the thing is that SEJeff thought that he should file a bug on the specific version of the package. and it's easy to overlook the filebug link if you have your mind set on navigating to the binary package.08:03
SEJeffWell when you are using feisty and a previous kernel didn't break... you *should* file against a specific version08:03
SEJeffOr am I again wrong in thinking like this?08:03
SEJeffIt seems logical08:03
LaserJockyep, we don't file against versions08:04
SEJeffok, thanks08:04
LaserJockwe file against a source package and that's pretty much it08:04
SEJeffIm used to bugzilla08:04
LaserJockI'd *love* to see the ability to file against a specific version08:04
LaserJockI'm not sure what would happen if the bug applied to more than one version08:05
BjornTLaserJock: once upon a time we tried to cover that by using something called "infestations", but we removed it since it was too complicated08:06
SEJeffLaserJock: I'm perplexed that it doesn't support a feature so obvious for a BTS08:06
BjornTSEJeff: it has been discussed quite a lot of times. and so the the outcome has been, that the version information should be put in the bug description08:07
BjornTwe might consider adding a specific version field, though.08:07
BjornTs/so/so far/08:08
SEJeffBjornT: Launchpad is a good idea and will probably be pretty good. I've heard decent things about the beta, but that it is really slow08:08
LaserJockSEJeff: it's pretty much the same for me08:09
BjornTSEJeff: yeah, we're currently working on trying to make it faster.08:09
SEJeffBjornT: Sure. Writing code is always the easy part. Debugging / Optimizing is always the hard part08:10
LaserJockfor me LP works best when URL driven08:10
SEJeffBjornT: Do you develop lp? If so I have a question08:10
LaserJockso maybe I don't notice the speed08:10
BjornTyeah. and the thing is, the speed problem isn't a problem with the code, it's mostly a problem that several small files need to be fetched by the browser for each page over ssl (which means that most browser won't cache the files)08:11
BjornTSEJeff: yeah, i'm an lp developer.08:12
SEJeffBjornT: People always gripe about lp being non OSS, but no-one ever says a word (because they are too ignorant) about Redhat Network.08:12
SEJeffMark's grand scheme seems to be towards Ubuntu / Canonical sustaining itsself08:13
SEJeffIs lp, or some restricted feature of it, your equivalent of RHN08:13
SEJeffAs in value added features to customers such as management, inventory, etc08:13
BjornTSEJeff: well, we do intend to release lp as open source one day, but it will probably take a while, and it will probably be done in steps, so that we release one bit at a time.08:15
SEJeffBjornT: Really!?08:16
LaserJockseems more like seperate project rather than value added08:16
SEJefflp seems like it could actually give Canonical an edge in smoe areas08:16
LaserJockSEJeff: yes, Mark said that from the beginning I think08:16
SEJeffbeing a "meta-bts"08:16
SEJeffOf course it is his choice, but why keep it closed at all then? Surely the code isn't that ugly08:17
BjornTSEJeff: yeah, it's even in the faq: https://launchpad.net/faq08:17
LaserJockpart of it, IMO, is that we really don't want a bunch of Launchpads floating around08:17
LaserJockthe idea was to pull together projects08:17
LaserJockso many distros and software projects use Launchpad08:18
=== zwnj [n=behnam@213.207.210.231] has joined #launchpad
SEJeffLaserJock: That will always happen in OSS unless the project has a clear direction and encourages participation. Inkscape is a perfect example of fostering a community08:18
SEJeffBut you guys have people like Jono working for you. He knows much more about communities than I do08:18
LaserJockright, but we are seeing it already, some of it might be because LP isn't OSS08:19
BjornTyeah, LaserJock is right. the main reason at this time is that we don't other launchpad's popping up, since it's designed so that everything should be in the same database.08:19
SEJeffFair enough08:21
SEJeffYou should poke mark into saying that directly so the free software nazis will stop complaining08:21
SEJeffBecause that is perfectly valid08:22
LaserJockBjornT: are there any plans on making +filebug-advanced more ... advanced?08:22
BjornTLaserJock: no specific plans atm, but i do agree that it should be more "advanced", otherwise it's not much different from the normal filebug page. what would you like to see on it?08:27
BjornTit might be that we get rid of that page eventuall, and integrate it into the normal filebug page08:28
LaserJockBjornT: well, Version: would certainly be one that'd probably get used08:29
SEJeffBjornT: LaserJock Thanks for answering my questions08:29
LaserJockcertainly ... probably 08:29
LaserJockI need to stop redoing my sentence half way through08:30
LaserJockSEJeff: np08:30
LaserJockBjornT: perhaps being able to subscribe or assignee directly from there08:30
LaserJockBjornT: perhaps Release: but that might not be as helpful as Version:08:31
LaserJockBjornT: mostly I'd love to see package-specific text when filing a bug. I've seen a few bugs floating around for that08:32
LaserJockbut that'd probably be more appropriate for the simple +filebug08:33
BjornTyeah, the package specific text should be on the normal +filebug page.08:34
LaserJockoh, another one could be which binary package08:34
LaserJockfor source package that produce quite a few binaries sometimes it's not obvious which one the user is talking about08:35
LaserJockbut that might be confusing if you have to put in source package then binary package08:35
UbugtuNew bug: #89392 in launchpad "+addpackage form makes no sense" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/8939208:36
BjornTLaserJock: yeah. we used to fields for both binary and source package, but we ended up removing the binary one to make things simpler to understand.08:36
LaserJockhow is that handled now? if a person puts in a binary package (when binary package != source package) does it automatically find the source package?08:36
BjornTLaserJock: yeah. and the entered binary package gets added to the description.08:36
LaserJockyeah, I think I remember that08:36
LaserJockoh sure08:37
LaserJockok, then scratch that suggestion08:38
LaserJockBjornT: what about being able to add and attachment from there?08:39
LaserJock*an08:39
BjornTLaserJock: yes, that's planned. but it will be possible to add an attachment also from the simple +filebug.08:40
LaserJockwell, hmm08:41
LaserJockit would seem like you could indeed fold them together and then have an "Advanced" drop-down for a few "extras"08:42
BjornTyeah, i think that would be better actually.08:44
