pwnguinso i guess it's getting close to hug day09:41
james_wpwnguin: wrong, it is hug day! :-)09:42

pwnguinwell, ive got this pet bug09:43
pwnguin#13768609:43
pwnguinhmm09:43
pwnguinI have a built-in card reader in my laptop. It's a TI model, it worked in edgy with the sdhci module, but in feisty and gutsy, it didn't work anymore, either with the sdhci drivers, or with the tifm drivers, even using the infamous "setpci hack" mentioned in bug #53923 and its duplicates to re-enable the sdhci drivers. In some feisty pre-release, it worked out-of-the-box on the live cd (I can still remember my "oooh" of wonder when seeing the sd 09:43

ubotuLaunchpad bug 137686 in linux-source-2.6.22 "[hardy] [gutsy] [regression] (regression from edgy to feisty and to gutsy) tifm_sd module not working and not producing any message in logs" [Low,Triaged]09:45
pwnguinit's quite a tangle of bugs, but essentially what im looking for is to get a kernel patch in09:47
pwnguinim not sure what needs to be done for that to happen09:48
persiapwnguin: Best path is to get it adopted upstream.  If that doesn't work, create a patch against the current Ubuntu git repo, and ask in #ubuntu-kernel.09:50
pwnguinfun09:52
pwnguinive been trying to get ahold of people's attention upstream09:52
pwnguinit's like a one line patch =/09:53
pwnguini wonder if filling with kernel.org's bugzilla would be better than posting to a mailing list09:56
james_wpwnguin: I don't know which is preferred really.10:10
pwnguinwell im not running a kernel.org kernel10:12
pwnguinit seems rather unfair to file bugs against software they're potentially not writing10:13
pwnguinsomeone at mandriva wrote the patch and went to the sdhci mailing list a few months ago, but that conversation sorta died out10:17
james_wpwnguin: have you tried the patch on Ubuntu?10:19
pwnguinothers have already10:19
pwnguinit's so hard to build out a full kernel suite anymore10:19
james_wah, sorry, I missed that comment.10:19
pwnguinive yet to figure out how to build the restricted modules package10:20
pwnguinim not even sure its nessecary for me anymore, but i'd be nice to have 3d10:20
james_wpwnguin: do you have a pointer to the mailing list discussion?10:20
pwnguini have a url :P10:21

pwnguini always have the wierdest crap in my paste buffer10:23
pwnguinhttp://list.drzeus.cx/pipermail/sdhci-devel/2008-March/002182.html10:23
james_wthe fix that was proposed is a little ugly, but I agree it would be good to have it working for you.10:23
pwnguini don't see what's so ugly about it, really10:24
james_wah, it's a shame that was never followed up on.10:24
pwnguinsure, it's potentially ignoring a larger issue10:24
james_woh, it was only 2 days ago.10:24
pwnguini guess this guy checks his mail weekly10:25
james_wthe problem with those fixes is that it would probably still break for someone somewhere with slower hardware or something, so it's probably not even a complete fix.10:25
pwnguini dont think so10:25
pwnguinin this case at least10:25
james_wpwnguin: could you put all of these links in to the bug report?10:25
pwnguinthe delay is specified in ms, which should be indepenent of CPU speed10:28
pwnguinreally, i think the bigger problem at this point would be making sure it doesn't break anyone else's readers10:34
pwnguinon the other hand, mine's been broke for over a year now. it can be someone else's turn i think ^_^10:37

qenseit posted 10 times what I've done yesterday15:24
pedro_qense: are you on pulseofubuntu ?15:25
ArtimusIs there anything I would do with a bug that can "draw more attention to it"?  It's been as Status: New for almost a month.  The bug is easy to resolve (a package needs to be added as a dependency).  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/19588015:35
ubotuLaunchpad bug 195880 in ubuntu-meta "ubuntu-standard doesn't depend on libpam-foreground" [Undecided,New]15:35

qenseI'm looking at it in a few secs15:37

qenseit's a dependency problem in my eyes15:39
qenseI think it can be confirmed and get the tag unmentdeps15:39

ArtimusI was playing with KSystemlog.  "Let's see what's in auth.log.  That's ugly"15:40
qenseArtimus: are you the triager or reporter?15:47
qensewhere are the hugday-tools?15:47
Artimusqense: Triager, assuming I don't need any particular status to do that.15:48
qenseok15:48
Artimus"Jared" would be me on that report15:49
qenseI think you can set the bug to triaged and give it the tag unmetdeps15:49
ArtimusI'm really not familiar enough with PAM to know which package it should depend on15:49
ArtimusAnother user suggested libpam-runtime15:49
qensethe fact is that ubuntu-standard should install a package, if I've read the report good, but it doesn't15:49
ArtimusI really don't think ubuntu-standard is the right package...15:50
qensemaybe he means that foreground should depend on runtime15:50
qensethat is also an option15:50
qenseyou could ask about that in #ubuntu-devel15:50
qensethekorn: how do you mark a bug using hugday-tools? I forgot15:54

mawxHi, I am rather new to triaging bugs so just to make sure...19:54
mawxI had a look at #15799319:54
mawxhttps://launchpad.net/bugs/15799319:54
ubotuLaunchpad bug 157993 in network-manager "pppoe connection over NetworkManager 0.6 managed ethernet device doesn't work" [Unknown,Confirmed]19:54
qensehello19:54
mawxAnd the status says confirmed and below on a second line "Incomplete".19:55
mawxI feel both should be confirmed since all data has been added and there even is a workaround.19:55
mawxshall i just go ahead and change it?19:56
bdmurraymawx: the top line is for the upstream bug and bottom line is for the Ubuntu bug. Is it possible for them to have different statuses.19:57
mawxbdmurray: i don't see any reason why they should have. I think the necessary information is available it's quite obvious what  is causing the bug and it just needs to get fixed.19:59
bdmurrayIt looks to me like Alexander Sack, the maintainer for network-manager asked a question (in comment 7) and was trying to find out whether or not a solution helped.20:02
mawxbdmurray: weltall replied in the last comment.20:03
mawxI think i'll set it to confirmed. Hope noone bites my head of if that was wrong.20:04

josephpicheis bug 197912 expected behavior? I followed the steps and got the same result.20:29
ubotuLaunchpad bug 197912 in network-manager "Network Manager adds domain name where it shouldn't" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19791220:29
qensebut is it expected that the internet runs very slow?20:33
bdmurrayI don't think that is network-manager but rather the gnome-system-tools network configuration20:33
qenseso the user uses wrong settings20:34
qenseis this an incomplete or invalid bug?20:35
bdmurrayI think the package is wrong20:35
qensemaybe I confirmed the bug too fast20:36
qenseit's hard to decide about such bugs if they've got enough information since the reporter thinks he knows what's wrong and says it's an error, but maybe it is just expected behaviour20:36
bdmurrayI don't have nm-applet up in front of me but I don't think you can set hosts in it20:36
qensehe uses the gnome-system-tools to change the settings20:38
qenseI think network-admin20:38

greg-gnon-hugday-specific bug question:  bug 84931 is complaint about the unavailability of 16x16 icon sizes.  bug 149047 is requesting scalable icons for the same theme.  Since the later would effectively fix the prior, should the prior be marked a duplicate of the latter?  (sorry for that last phrase, it was just fun to type)20:39

qenseI think I'll mark it invalid for network-manager at least20:41
qensebut is it a bug?20:41
qenseI mean, isn't it normal20:41
qensemaybe the slow internet has a different cause20:41
qenseI did find a bug though20:41
bdmurrayqense: you can change the package name instead for marking the network-manager task invalid20:42
qensewhen you remove the hostname again 127.0.0.1 still redirects to computername.hostname20:42

qensedoes apport replaces all usernames with 'username' by itself?20:52
greg-gbdmurray: yeah, it is mentioned.  i guess they are separate issues anyways.  the 16x16 icon set problem could be fixed before the "scalable for all" problem since the scalable will take much more work20:54
bdmurraygreg-g: that's true.  maybe adding a comment in the scalable referencing the 16x16 bug, so if the scalable one is resolved somebody would close the 16x16 one?20:55

* greg-g is away21:10
bdmurrayIt looked like you two covered some good stuff in that time though.21:11
greg-gbdmurray: yeah, we got through much of the basics.  i unfortunately just wasn't the most comfortable triaging those bugs, just because I hadn't done it before.  but, in the end, all was good.21:38
bdmurraygreg-g: are there particular bugs you feel comfortable triaging?  I thought maybe we should make a bugsquad page of triager specialities.21:42
greg-gahh, good idea.21:43
greg-ghmmm21:43
greg-gdesktop applications in general really21:44
greg-gbecause i don't mind doing some of the upstream leg work (most times)21:45
bdmurrayI'm not sure the best way to organize a page like that though21:50
greg-g|| name || list of packages/areas of specialty || LP account link || ?22:01
bdmurraySo by name rather than by package?  I think that makes sense.22:03
greg-gyeah, otherwise there would be too much overlap/ambiguity22:03
bdmurrayright, I was thinking for a minute having includes from the debugging pages (after adding a triager name section) would be neat but what you've suggested sounds good22:05
