owhHiya, just lodged Bug #201237 for tasksel, but it applies to hardy alpha 6. How do I tell LP that?00:17
ubotwoLaunchpad bug 201237 in tasksel "tasksel does not work if installed on a machine with no network" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20123700:17
owhOne suggestion made was to lodge a new bug at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bugs, but that seems to imply that I need to close this bug and do it again. That doesn't make sense to me.00:19
bdmurrayowh: A bug is assumed to apply to the latest version of the package which would be Hardy.00:19
owhbdmurray: Except that it doesn't show up in the hardy bug list, so it is unlikely to be dealt with prior to release.00:19
owhOr am I mistaken?00:20
bdmurrayYou could nominate it for the Hardy list then.  You can do this on the left hand side of the bug remote in the pink Actions menu.00:21
owhbdmurray: Hmm, well, LP shows it as nominated, but it still doesn't show in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bugs - am I missing something?00:23
bdmurrayowh: nominations need to be approved by an Ubuntu driver member00:23
bdmurrayotherwise the Hardy list would be much longer. ;)00:24
owhbdmurray: Fair point. Well, in that case, I've done my part I think - thanks for the help.00:24
bdmurrayowh: thank you for submitting the bug00:25
owhbdmurray: That's the easy part :) - I try to hold my end up with fixing and patching too :)00:26
=== RAOF_ is now known as RAOF
PiciHm.  Where would a bug regarding the gnome multimedia keys go? It doesnt appear to be specific to one application.02:10
james_wPici: what's the problem?02:10
Picijames_w: The gnome multimedia keybindings don't appear to be working in Hardy (at least track forward and back). Exaile, Sonata (i think it supports it) and decible-audio-player are not working...02:12
PiciAlthough now someone says that quod-libet does (/me looks)02:12
james_wPici: can you try rhythmbox?02:13
Picijames_w: sure, moment02:13
james_wPici: also, are these special keys on your keyboard?02:13
Picijames_w: They are, and they appear to be working in Rhythmbox02:14
james_wI guess that they are bugs in the other apps then. If rhythmbox picks them up then they are working ok.02:14
Picijames_w: roger that02:14
james_whowever if they are relying on something else to relay the messages then that may be at fault.02:15
PiciI'm going to do some looking around02:16
RAOFPici: The problem is that there's a new mmkeys API.02:16
PiciRAOF: Aha.02:16
RAOFPici: Rhythmbox will (should) work, everything else needs updating.02:16
PiciRAOF: Is it necessary to log a bug for each of them? or how does something like this work?02:17
RAOFPici: What you'd want to do is to file a bug against one of them, and then go "also affects" all the others.02:18
RAOFIt's essentially one-bug-per-package, but with the same bug number.02:18
PiciRAOF: Do you happen to know what version of python-mmkeys the api was changed in?02:20
RAOFUm, it's probably not python-mmkeys; it's gnome-settings-daemon which publishes the multi-media key info.02:20
Picihmm02:21
PiciOkay02:21
RAOFSo gnome-settings-daemon changed how it publishes the MMKeys information (again), and the non-Rhythmbox apps aren't looking in the right place.02:22
jjessebdmurray: you around?02:57
jjesseneed some help triaging bug #35605, as the bug references Mandrivia03:01
ubotwoLaunchpad bug 35605 in kdeartwork "kpartsaver segfaults" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3560503:01
jjessethe bug is  marked as fix released in kdeartwork, do i assume its been fixed in mandrivia?03:02
jjesseand mark it the same?03:02
bdmurrayjjesse: looking03:14
bdmurrayI'd mark it Invalid as Mandriva doesn't use Launchpad, there isn't a remote Mandriva bug for the bug watch that we know of and because the Mandiva affects was probably added wrongly.03:16
techno_freakbdmurray, a general question. when a bug filed on a project which falls under a loco team in launch pad, who can unsubscribe the team from the bug?03:25
techno_freaki meant, the project was included the team's project list (which was again not known how)03:26
bdmurrayTeam admins can unsubscribe the team from a bug report.  Do you have a link for the issue you are talking about?03:27
techno_freakbdmurray, yes, one minute.03:27
techno_freakbdmurray, bug #183958 someone marked it as security issue thinking that it would stop mails from that bug.03:28
ubotwotechno_freak: Bug 183958 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/183958 is private03:28
techno_freakand as private too03:29
bdmurrayI can't see that bug report, but as the Ubuntu Bugs team owner I have the ability to unsubscribe the team from bug reports like 35605 that was mentioned earlier.  Ubuntu Bugs shows up as a "direct" subscriber and when I click on Subscribe/Unsubscribe I see "Unsubscribe Ubuntu Bugs from this bug"03:31
bdmurrayDoes that help some?03:32
techno_freakbdmurray, i was able to see it, but when i was seeking help from people here some one made it a security issue after which it is not viewable at all03:32
techno_freakbdmurray, yes. i understood what you said. :)03:33
bdmurrayjdstrand: can you see it?03:33
bdmurraytechno_freak: what package was the bug about?03:36
techno_freakbdmurray, BBox if i remember it right03:36
yuriyhmm how do i add an upstream bug watch? looks like the interface has changed since i last did this03:40
yuriyi did also affects project but there isn't a place to put in a bug03:40
bdmurray+Project if it is far upstream03:41
bdmurrayyuriy: for what package?03:41
yuriybdmurray: bug 20128103:41
* bdmurray waits for it03:41
yuriyheh, katapult, upstream bug here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14059103:42
techno_freakbug #20128103:42
bdmurrayI was hoping ubotu or ubotwo would say something03:42
tritiumThe bots are having issues today, bdmurray03:42
* yuriy notes taht ubotwo has quit^^03:42
techno_freakubotu sometimes becomes too slow to respond, think it is overloaded too much03:43
yuriyin this case it's not here at all though03:44
bdmurrayyuriy: your bug is really weird03:44
bdmurraySo katapult doesn't use Launchpad for bugs?03:45
yuriywell it's a package in ubuntu, and it's a component of kde and has bugs on bugs.kde.org03:46
bdmurrayWell, somebody setup a Katapult project in Launchpad and that is why this is behaving differently.03:47
bdmurrayhttps://launchpad.net/katapult/03:47
bdmurrayThe Status shows them using Launchpad for bugs03:47
* yuriy pings said someone to find out03:48
bdmurrayThe "driver" of the project are the katapult-dev team and there you can find the team owner.03:48
yuriymhmm, i did03:49
bdmurrayWell, so that's why you can't add a link to the kde bug report.03:52

IulianHi12:36
primes2hIs there someone in here having a laptop with ati chipset?13:07
primes2hbad news.13:09
primes2h'ati' (radeon) driver is going to be blacklisted from compiz.13:09
primes2hSo all people happily using compiz with this driver (open source) on a laptop won't be able to have compiz by default.13:10
Piciprimes2h: link?13:10
primes2hbug #19713513:11
primes2hI opened a bug to whitelist my card (because I never had problem with compiz)13:12
primes2hHave a look #20133013:12
PiciI see that Travis Watkins (Amaranth) is looking at it, I trust he'll do the right thing.13:13
primes2hProbably there are other people that don't have problems with 'ati' driver and compiz, but it should be better to let it know.13:14
primes2hThis choice (to blacklist completely 'ati' driver) would affect a lot of people...13:15
primes2hThe real problem is that ati proprietary drivers don't support all chipset.13:17
primes2hso who (like me) has these chipset won't be able to use compiz by default.13:19
primes2hEven if it has been working very well until now.13:20

qensehello again17:33
affluxhi qense17:33
bdmurrayafflux: it looks like the reporter added Crash bug triagers for universe as a subscriber manually.  Does that sound right to you?17:35
affluxbdmurray: I asked him to do that, because we had no access17:35
affluxbdmurray: I opened a crash bug myself lately, and it was only apport who was subscribed automatically. I think ubuntu-crashes-universe should be added automatically (I think that's how we used to did that)17:36
bdmurrayafflux: How did you open the crash bug? via nautilus or was it reported automatically?17:40
affluxautomatically, IIRC17:41
affluxor maybe apport-cli17:41
secretlondonthis is supposed to be the pob with apport and gutsy?17:46
bdmurrayafflux: I'm looking at the code now17:47
secretlondonpitti apparently stopped apport retracing gutsy bugs according to hhdgh17:47
affluxmine wasn't even gutsy :(17:47
afflux(in case that's correct, I think there should be some sort of announcement on the MLs)17:48
secretlondonyes, the story was that it was due to the age of some launchpad -python thing17:49
secretlondonin which case we should update the python..17:49

affluxIs there a special reason why the upstream project for hardy's source package "emerald" has been set to "beryl"?21:01
affluxI'll change it back to "emerald" if noone raises any objections21:04
bdmurrayafflux: is the upstream watch in bug 147529 right?21:06
affluxbdmurray: it's emerald, not beryl. I clicked "next" and didn't check because I forwarded an emerald bug some days ago where the project was correct21:07
affluxbdmurray: I invalidated the beryl task and added emerald21:07
bdmurrayafflux: okay, my concern is there isn't a relationship between the "emerald" project and its bug tracker21:10
bdmurrayso if someone tries to add also affects project emerald they won't see information about which bug tracker to use21:11
affluxdo you mean the LP project or the upstream?21:11

bdmurrayopencomposting.org is the right url for them?21:14
affluxyes. They don't really have an own website, it seems to be distributed along with compizfusion21:15

affluxwhy "theory"?21:19
bdmurrays/theory/my understanding/ ?21:19
affluxright21:19
affluxokay, you still have to paste an url, but the "also affects project" page now lists the used bug tracker21:20

cudjoeShould I do "subscribe someone else" and select "ubuntu-main-sponsors"23:29
bdmurraygreg-g: I'm not sure how the 5-a-day bzr branch is setup.  normally with bzr branches I do a pull, commit, push.  In this case I'd just add another bug.23:29
bdmurrayexaile is a universe package though so it would be uubuntu-universe-sponsors23:29
greg-gbdmurray: yeah, just thought of that too :)  good excuse to keeping triaging23:30
cudjoebdmurray: ok done. thanks for helping. I was almost there :) Next ones are going to be easier.23:32
bdmurraycudjoe: lokoing at your patch the debian/changelog file has an issue23:33
cudjoereally ? ...oh.23:34
bdmurrayto get the bug automatically closed the format should be (LP: #95860)23:35
phoenix24Anyone Triaging Totem Bugs (help here) ?23:35
cudjoebdmurray: I saw the "Closes" format in the previous entries of the changelog...Should I rebuild it ?23:36
bdmurraycudjoe: the closes format may have been specific to a different bug tracking system23:37
bdmurrayand yes rebuilding it would be best, I imagine a sponsor would say something23:38
blueyedShould the KDE bug day also mention #ubuntu-bugs? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080313/KDE)23:41
cudjoebdmurray: done. Regarding the page, I had read it, but it's pretty confusing (for non native speaker maybe)23:42
bdmurraycudjoe: The sponsorship page?  I agree and have contacted someone about it.23:42
blueyed..or even the main page (-"/KDE")?23:42
cudjoeIt should mention that SponsorshipProcess consists in subscribing the team to the bug :)23:43
cudjoethanks everyone. I hope not to have to bother anymore.23:43
