[14:25] * afflux thinks that naming them "tasks" is a bad idea: those nasty web2.0 apps make them think they should add anything they associate with this bug [14:27] is login a good tag? there are four bugs with that tag [14:29] I don't think so, I don't really know why that would be interesting. [14:29] I guess searching for duplicates perhaps [14:30] is Login Window Preferences Applet a part of GDM?

A month? [14:44] qense: yes, a month or wait for the lp janitor [14:46] btw, is there a way of gathering the email address of all upstream project maintainers of the packages in Ubuntu using a launchpad script? [14:46] I'd like to make a start with the project I suggested on the mailinglist if no one thinks I shouldn't [14:49] qense: I think *all* would be a bit much for you [14:49] that's trye [14:49] could be true [14:49] what I wanted to do is send all maintainers an email and wait for their reply [14:49] if you sent an automated mail to them all then you would be drowned in resposes I think [14:50] I could create a filter and export them to text files [14:50] I think it's a great idea though. [14:50] if I'd put it on the wiki or somewhere else people could help changing it to human readable text for the wiki [14:50] I think you may be better off working with the biggest packages first, e.g. gnome [14:50] or you could sort packages in ubuntu by the number of bug reports and work down. [14:51] do you think there could be a better place for this information than the wiki? [14:51] and cut that list into pieces and let people choose which part they want to do [14:51] no [14:52] but first we need to make a list :) [14:52] for GNOME they're here: http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/TriageGuide/ProductSpecificGuidelines [14:53] things like that also make your work easier :) [14:53] and a few projects keep their own pages at live.gnome.org too like GNOME Power Manager and Evince IIRC [14:53] thanks pedro_ [14:53] yes indeed [14:53] you're welcome [14:54] qense: that's a good start, you could add pointers from the wiki to those pages [14:54] we need to create a start page for this [14:54] Bugs/Triaging ? [14:54] Boo [14:55] hello [15:01] what do you think of Bugs/Triaging? [15:02] perfect I think [15:02] then have like Bugs/Triaging/Gnome etc.? [15:02] At the same time I think I'm going to copy the contents of DebuggingProcedures and it's subpages to there too [15:02] yes, that is what I'd use [15:03] I wouldn't copy it, just add a link [15:03] I think you can actually include pages though, which would be perfect [15:03] yeah [15:03] but I think we should use the same naming syntax to keep things logical [15:11] we should do a 'check your own bugs' bug day soon. I'm closing some old bugs of mine now ... [15:16] where is the page of gnome-power-manager with the requirements for bug reports about it? [15:16] morning [15:16] heno: good idea, you often forget your own bug reports and if no one else looks at them... [15:16] hello [15:18] well i tend to do that daily [15:18] qense: there's a page on live.gnome.org/GNOMEPowerManager [15:19] and ted did a page with information too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager [15:19] that page is empty and the other page about gnome power-manager I found just displayed a link to the FAQ :( [15:19] but I'll include the ubuntu wiki page [15:25] aargh! I sent again an email to the bugsquad mailing list using the wrong email address! [15:30] What categories shall I use on the triaging page? [15:38] the include thing for moinmoin is a macro, I think you have to install it seperately [15:39] pedro_ tends to do *all* bugs daily :P [15:40] about every second bug I marked as incomplete gets expired by pedro :) [15:40] haha sorry i'm an addict :-( [15:40] hehe [15:45] I wonder if being a member of bugcontrol is suitable for ubuntu membership [15:46] :) [15:46] Does pedro_ has written a lot of the guides for bug triaging? [15:47] that could help [15:47] or did he got a lot of new members for bugcontrol? [15:47] afflux: I'd say yes [15:48] if you do a lot of triage work you can apply i can't see any reason why not [15:48] same as translators for example [15:48] hm [15:48] not sure if I do a lot of triage :) [15:49] you can start now ;-) [15:49] I mean, I do some triage [15:49] *ing [15:51] hm, I've 3000 points from bug management, guess thats not too much ;) [15:51] I've got 990 :) [15:51] hehe [15:52] Pedro Bucellate(pedro) has zero ;) [15:52] Murray(murray) too [15:52] Ben Murray too [15:53] brian has 13k [15:53] the real yes :) [15:53] wow, there are really a lot of pedros [15:54] and almost all of them have zero karma [15:58] I'm the only sense with karma :) [15:58] and the only qense that exists [15:59] wow :P [15:59] I'm special! :P I've got the most karma of a whole list! [16:00] I posted my script for mass-editing duplicates to the bugsquad ML last night, in case you're interested :) [16:00] afflux: yeah, I saw that, thanks a lot, I'll try it next time I find one that needs it [16:01] okay, cool [16:01] I read the mail about it, but I haven't tried it yet [16:01] qense: you usually don't need it too often [16:02] I don't look for duplicates, I concentrate more on forwarding, hal, network-manager and power-manager [16:02] I hope so :) [16:03] brainstorm is really filled with ideas saying just this 'beat windows by becoming better. I've got a very good idea of how to become better: improve all stuff" [16:03] or "Imitate windows" [16:03] someone even suggested to take all things from windows, including software isntalling! [16:03] aaargh! [16:04] that idea had -200 or something [16:04] afflux, read this mail, will add this script to the examples/ in py-lp-bugs later, if you don't mind [16:05] * thekorn waves to all the bug-hunters, happy hugday! [16:05] thekorn: yes, you can do whatever you want :P [16:05] * qense hasn't done a hugday bug yet. bad, bad qense [16:05] oh, it's hugday again? *runs* [16:07] it's every thursday and tuesday :) [16:07] someone familiar with the gnome bugtracker? Can I just enter a function in which a crash occured? [16:07] I use it often. [16:08] But what function do you mean? A part of a program or a programming kind of function? [16:08] qense: I'm a student and it's holidays for me in germany, so I have no idea what 's todays day [16:08] ok :) [16:08] a C function for example: gcin_im_client_forward_key_press [16:08] (as in: gdmgreeter crashed with SIGSEGV in gcin_im_client_forward_key_press()) [16:08] You mean in the title? I see that more often at gnome's bugzilla [16:09] after you file a bug through apport-cli do you need to do anything else or will it get sorted automaticly? [16:09] rexy_: a browser widnow should appear guiding you through the bug creation [16:09] If http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=gcin_im_client_forward_key_press returns nothing, can I savely open a new bug? [16:09] afflux, yep did that [16:09] after that you just have to wait [16:10] it could be that someone asks you for more information [16:10] does it automaticly sends a notification to my e-mail if someone does? [16:10] rexy_: yes [16:11] i closed my own bug last time since it was fixed before anything was done with it, happens a lot i suppose? [16:16] should we report bugs to gnome if they are not reproducible? [16:16] *crasher bugs [16:17] (or if we don't know yet whether they are) [16:17] the problem with those bugs is that crashes often happen at unpredictable times [16:17] I think that if the user keeps having irregular crashes you should forward it [16:18] let's look at bug 203545 [16:18] Launchpad bug 203545 in gdm "gdmgreeter crashed with SIGSEGV in pango_ot_ruleset_description_hash()" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/203545 [16:18] It contains a complete backtrace but close to no descriptions, I guess it just crashed right after starting. [16:20] I think that at that sort of bugs we should wait if it happens a lot more often [16:20] I had also a lot of random crashes lately until I removed the compiled candido gtk engine [16:20] I've got amd64 and I think candido is mainly written for i386 [16:21] hm, looking at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/188565 (which is listed as an example on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME), it didn't contain reproducing information and was forwarded [16:21] Launchpad bug 188565 in gnome-terminal "gnome-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV" [Medium,Fix released] [16:21] pedro_: ping, question! [16:21] maybe they can get enough information from apport [16:22] pedro_: should we report bugs to gnome if they are not reproducible (or if we don't know yet whether they are)? [16:46] well, I go, bye [16:47] pedro_: I'm following up on bug 201466 I asked you about it recently and you pointed me at a possibly related bug and a work-around -- but I have forgotten :-/ Could you remind me pls? [16:47] Launchpad bug 201466 in xorg "gdm_slave_xioerror_handler error in ubuntu hardy heron Alpha 6" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/201466 [17:05] ah heno : Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" at the Device section [17:05] and if you're having issues with firefox (black images) you may want to add : Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" [17:05] to the same section [17:06] afflux: regarding which bug? the gnome-terminal one? [17:06] pedro_: a thanks. So the question is should I remove the hack now to see if the problem still occurs? Could be painful to find out ... [17:07] pedro_: no, regarding bug 203545 and bug 199157 [17:07] Launchpad bug 203545 in gdm "gdmgreeter crashed with SIGSEGV in pango_ot_ruleset_description_hash()" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/203545 [17:07] Launchpad bug 199157 in gdm "gdmgreeter crashed with SIGSEGV in gcin_im_client_forward_key_press()" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/199157 [17:08] heno: ah yeah, that'd be good, I haven't tried to reproduce it lately [17:08] afflux: looking [17:08] pedro_: I'll brew a coffee, will be back in some minutes [17:09] afflux: second one looks like a gcin issue not a gdm one [17:10] you may want to reassign it [17:22] hello [17:26] so was there ever a metapackage put together for like ubuntu-desktop-dbg? [17:34] pedro_: right, what about the other one? [17:35] afflux: looks like pango, you can forward it if there's nothing on upstream already [17:35] trace is good [17:35] pedro_: so, in general, what to do woth non-reproducible bugs? [17:36] it depends, if it's a crash and the trace is good enough it can be forwarded [17:37] depends if that's reproducible for the user [17:37] if that's the case we encourage him to report the bug upstream [17:37] otherwise and if there is not enough informations we close the bug [17:38] seb128: you mean if the user gets a random crash which is not reproducible, it should not be forwarded? [17:38] if it has not enough details to be useful and the users can't get those because that was a one time thing yes [17:39] a debug backtrace is enough details for most of the crashes though, so when the crash is properly retraced it should be sent upstream [17:39] hm, okay... [17:40] you think that's not the correct thing to do? [17:40] well, I'm not sure. I think it will be the only solution for most random crashes [17:41] but, e.g. bug 203545 [17:41] Launchpad bug 203545 in gdm "gdmgreeter crashed with SIGSEGV in pango_ot_ruleset_description_hash()" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/203545 [17:42] seems very much like a random crash which will maybe never happen again (to the reporter!). But it still is a crash with a full stacktrace which may be a problem in some rare cases. [17:43] afflux: as said this one should be sent upstream, it has a detailled stacktrace [17:43] afflux: might be http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471261 [17:43] Gnome bug 471261 in general "Crash in pango_ot_ruleset_add_feature" [Critical,Unconfirmed] [17:44] okay, haven't searched for it yet [17:45] so, we reject bugs which are not reproducible and don't have a good stacktrace? [17:45] that would sound sane to me [17:48] afflux: correct [17:48] okay, thanks a lot for clarification : [18:21] dang lock on the bzr repo [18:29] I need a gnome person: bug 204821 [18:29] Launchpad bug 204821 in ubuntu "[hardy beta 1] GNOME Settings Deamon gives error when starting live CD" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204821 [18:29] specifically: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12923803/.xsession-errors [18:29] it looks like the cause of the problem may be [18:29] ** (gnome-settings-daemon:8547): WARNING **: Error opening directory '/etc/gnome/config': No such file or directory [18:29] or perhaps it is just a warning. [18:30] but it is the only message from the settings-daemon [18:30] I have that directory on my system, but dpkg doesn't know anything about it [18:34] it seems to be created by the capplets-data package [18:39] I don't think it would be killing gnome-session though [18:39] what happens to -session then? [18:58] Regarding Evolution. There are so many bugs in that piece of software, it's hard to believe. Which bugfixes will be available using ubuntu updates? [19:00] XiXaQ: updates to gutsy? the ones that worth for a SRU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [19:00] well, in general. Actually, I'm more concerned about hardy. [19:00] otherwise you may want to wait till hardy is released or uprade to hardy [19:01] any bug in particular? [19:03] yes, I filed one yesterday. In Evolution, when you view a preview of a task, select some text and copy it, either using the menus or ctrl+c, Evolution crashes. [19:04] bug 207286 ? [19:04] Launchpad bug 207286 in evolution "evolution-alarm-notify crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_free1()" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/207286 [19:05] Could it be that energy managment received some major bug fixes ? My Sony Vaio is running way quieter and goes faster into energy saving than before. [19:05] pedro_, oh. No, I filed it on bugzilla; http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524121 [19:06] Gnome bug 524121 in Tasks "Copy in task preview closes evolution" [Critical,New] [19:06] XiXaQ: you should ask to the evolution maintainers then [19:06] if they make the fix available to 2.22.1 it can make it to hardy or hardy.1 [19:07] but not in a general update? [19:08] a general update to what? [19:08] there are some _big_ bugs in Evolution and I really hope that they will be available as normal updates as they're fixed. Waiting six months for a fix just isn't possible. [19:09] as i said if it's worth for a SRU you can ask for one [19:09] and get those fixes available trough the -updates [19:39] pedro_, thanks for that link. I think all the bugs I'm working on qualifies for SRU. [19:44] until release, bugs in hardy don't need to qualify for SRU to get fixed, do they? [19:54] maybe not, but many of thiese bugs won't be fixed before hardy is released. [19:55] actually, most of them. [19:58] Evolution is such a central application for office users, it's really important that those crasher bugs and other obvious bugs are fixed as quickly as possible. [20:08] XiXaQ, are these bugs specific to ubuntu, or to evolution? [20:08] to evolution of course. [20:09] but it's important for me to get those fixes into ubuntu as they're released. [20:09] XiXaQ, then you're probably barking up the wrong tree. You probably ought to make the case more upstream. [20:09] does upstream decide what should be updated using ubuntus update mechanism? [20:22] XiXaQ: upstream provides the fixes [20:23] yes, I understand that. That doesn't help me if I have to wait until the next version of ubuntu though. Especially not if I have to wait until the next LTS version. I was hoping I could stick with hardy for a good while. [20:25] XiXaQ: I guess most evolution crasher bugs have been forwarded upstream, we can't do anything (except fixing them on our own, what I can't, and most other bug triagers can't either) until they provide the fixes. We can cherry-pick them into ubuntu then. [20:27] I'm asking whether or not fixes from evolution will be forwarded to the stable release or if I have to wait until the next release, but I guess that page gives me some hope. [20:28] oh. Sorry, I misunderstood that. Yes, that would need a SRU then, and I think crashes are suitable for that [20:32] crashes, and I'm working on the large number of category related bugs, which doesn't cause evolution to crash, but only renders a big part of it useless. [20:33] those should be perfectly safe fixes though, so I guess it'll at least have a chance. I think evolution deserves some special attention. [21:02] shouldn't this be a priority? for some production systems, those 7 minutes are important: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/157608/ [21:02] Launchpad bug 157608 in ntp "Adjust Time -> Sync with Internet Time Servers never syncs."
