| greg-g | bdmurray: should cosmetic (nothing is broken, not adding a new feature) bugs be set to Low (and not wishlist, since it isn't a new feature)? Is so, should I add that to the wiki for bugs/importance? | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| bdmurray | greg-g: Do you have an example? I'm have a hard time thinking of one | 00:22 |
| greg-g | bug 218436 | 00:24 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 218436 in meta-gnome2 "untidy layout in gnome system monitor summary (system) tab [cosmetic only]" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/218436 | 00:24 |
| greg-g | a very nit-picky bug. and I use the word "nit-picky" in a nice way :) | 00:25 |
| bdmurray | That's great! I love how people draw in screenshots. | 00:25 |
| greg-g | :) me too, I do it sometimes myself :) | 00:26 |
| greg-g | and yeah, that bug would definitely go upstream | 00:26 |
| bdmurray | Back to your original question, yes that sounds like a perfect example of a low priority bug. I think string-fix bugs should be low too. | 00:27 |
| greg-g | Ok | 00:27 |
| greg-g | is that "important" enough of a condition to add it to the importance wiki page? | 00:27 |
| greg-g | ie: add "Cosmetic/Usability issues that do not limit functionality" to Low | 00:30 |
| bdmurray | Yes, I think more examples can't hurt. moderate impact and core application are quite subjective | 00:31 |
| greg-g | cool, and that wording clear and accurate? | 00:31 |
| bdmurray | Yes, that sounds good to me | 00:33 |
| * greg-g changes it | 00:33 | |
| bdmurray | Thanks! | 00:34 |
| bdmurray | Have you seen any iso-testing bugs at all? | 00:34 |
| greg-g | there was one recently that I didn't completely read since it was about the size of a stephen king novel | 00:35 |
| greg-g | well, nevermind, it was about the old beta build, not an up to date iso build | 00:36 |
| greg-g | so, no, I have not | 00:38 |
| bdmurray | lol - stephen king | 00:39 |
| * greg-g thinks he gets paid per page | 00:40 | |
| bdmurray | some of them can be found at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/report | 00:40 |
| bdmurray | those are the most recent ones which I'm trying to go through now | 00:41 |
| greg-g | ahh, yeah, I forgot that the qa site is pretty thurough | 00:41 |
| bdmurray | yeah, its nice that it has counts on comments, subscribers and duplicates | 00:42 |
| greg-g | I like it. the more I learn about the tools used in ubuntu development the more I am impressed. Of course, I don't use them all that much (if any, other than LP) so I can't make a full analysis, but they seem nice. | 00:43 |

| crimsun | bdmurray: hi | 00:50 |
| bdmurray | crimsun: do you have a moment? well maybe 2 | 00:51 |
| crimsun | sure | 00:51 |
| bdmurray | bug 204345 is about setting the default sound card for pulseaudio, is there a way to do that using a GUI tool? | 00:53 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 204345 in pulseaudio "[hardy] [amd64] system sounds and flash sound output are redirected to the wrong sound card" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204345 | 00:53 |
| crimsun | bdmurray: pavucontrol | 00:53 |
| crimsun | bdmurray: unfortunately it does not immediately take effect, because pulseaudio does not currently have a callback to reparse the gconf value | 00:53 |
| crimsun | (the setting takes effect on the next time the stream is started, which is normally the next time the app is restarted) | 00:54 |
| bdmurray | that's not on the Live CD though is it? | 00:54 |
| crimsun | no, the tools are all in the universe component. | 00:55 |
| bdmurray | hmmm, that seems weird to me | 00:55 |
| crimsun | OTOH, one can use `pacmd' in the pulseaudio-utils package, which is in main. | 00:55 |
| crimsun | I made some changes earlier that basically pull in all of the tools if you install one of the others | 00:56 |
| crimsun | the main one is really padevchooser | 00:56 |
| crimsun | it's a horrible UI mess, however | 00:56 |
| bdmurray | that leads well into question 2! is there a way to better name output devices? | 00:57 |
| crimsun | meaning PulseAudio sinks or ALSA sinks? | 00:58 |
| bdmurray | PulseAudio sinks I believe | 00:59 |
| crimsun | those are pretty much lifted from what hal exposes | 00:59 |
| crimsun | so, no, not that I know of, and not easily. | 01:00 |
| bdmurray | okay | 01:00 |
| bdmurray | Do you know anything about Creative X-Fi sound card support? the alsa bug doesn't have any recent information | 01:02 |
| crimsun | currently for ALSA, only the ca0106-driven models are supported | 01:03 |
| crimsun | currently Creative offers an x86_64 one that covers all models using the ALSA API | 01:03 |
| crimsun | currently for OSSv4.1, all ALSA-supported ones (ca0106) and then a minimal new more are supported | 01:04 |
| crimsun | note that given asac's changes to flashplugin-nonfree, a user cannot use pavucontrol (by default) to select the PulseAudio sink | 01:06 |
| crimsun | the user will need to use `asoundconf set-default-card', a command line utility in the alsa-utils package, to do so | 01:06 |
| === heno is now known as heno_away | ||
| crimsun | (...or a user may use my Qt 3/4 or Toby's GTK 2 frontends for asoundconf) | 01:08 |
| bdmurray | how does flashplugin-nonfree affect it? | 01:10 |
| crimsun | (i.e., https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~motu/asoundconf-ui/trunk and https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~tsmithe/asoundconf-ui/trunk, respectively) | 01:10 |
| crimsun | with libflashsupport installed, a user can select the default output sink in PA for a Flash output | 01:11 |
| crimsun | however, libflashsupport was demoted to Suggests instead of Depends | 01:11 |
| crimsun | therefore, by default, a dist-upgrade will not pull in the PA compat layer for the non-Free Flash plugin, but PA will be installed by default | 01:12 |
| crimsun | presuming a user had GNOME's "Enable software sound mixing" enabled in System> Preferences> Sound, a user will experience the issue that I described | 01:12 |
| crimsun | (note that I concur with the move to demote libflashsupport to Suggests) | 01:13 |
| bdmurray | okay, I think I understand now | 01:14 |

| bdmurray | saivann: I'll give it a shot | 04:05 |
| saivann | bdmurray : looks like compiz eat all the CPU, but does not crash | 04:05 |
| saivann | bdmurray : thanks | 04:05 |
| saivann | This bug might be reported against compiz too | 04:06 |
| saivann | bdmurray : I'm actually connected through ssh to my remote machine and I see that compiz progressively eat more and more CPU, so I'm waiting to see if it finally crash, it's 87% now | 04:07 |
| greg-g | saivann: switching via alt-tab? | 04:10 |
| bdmurray | and which effects too? | 04:11 |
| greg-g | it isn't crashing here | 04:11 |
| greg-g | or freezing | 04:11 |
| bdmurray | I'm using "Hollywood got nothing" w/ intel and I'm not having an issue | 04:11 |
| saivann | greg-g : not alt-tab, just with the mouse | 04:12 |
| saivann | mmh, might be specific to some plugin.. | 04:12 |
| greg-g | bdmurray: you're using what? | 04:12 |
| greg-g | saivann: either way, no freeze | 04:12 |
| saivann | bdmurray or greg-g : Did you use the attached file and waited for openoffice toolbox to appear? | 04:13 |
| bdmurray | greg-g: The "Hollywood got nothing" profile | 04:13 |
| saivann | my laptop actually use the default "extra" effects with compiz | 04:13 |
| greg-g | saivann: yeah, supplied file and with both the toolbox in the menu bar, and the toolbox in its own window | 04:14 |
| saivann | Really?? Strange, I can reproduce that behavior on my two computers here, my laptop is freshly installed and has only xchat-gnome installed outside of the default packages | 04:15 |
| saivann | and did you switch between windows by clicking on each windows simultaneously on the bottom of the screen while the toolbox in its own window was open? | 04:16 |
| saivann | Hardy beta, BTW | 04:17 |
| saivann | my other computer is fully up to date | 04:17 |
| bdmurray | I tried every switcher and had no problems like you are talking about | 04:21 |
| saivann | When I tried to get a backtrace, OpenOffice exited normally, by itself without any strace, and compiz started to eat CPU slowly | 04:21 |

| Nic1 | anyone knows if this bug is related to the battery life? | 04:23 |

| saivann | Nic1 : This bug seems to be already in hands of developers.. That's what I see so far | 04:24 |
| Nic1 | yes, i know... i just mentioned it, because maybe it's related to my other problem :) :VV | 04:25 |
| Nic1 | the problem is that my battery life is 50% less than in feisty! | 04:25 |
| Nic1 | is there an open bug for this? or any suggestions on how can i find more information on this? | 04:26 |
| bdmurray | What kind of testing have you done? | 04:26 |
| saivann | bdmurray greg-g : I just reproduced the bug on another computer with Intel graphic card, perhaps that we're just misunderstanding, do you know a program that can record video with the screen so I can show the exact steps? | 04:26 |

| bdmurray | It's fantastic for creating screencasts of bugs! | 04:27 |

| greg-g | Nic1: <bdmurray> What kind of testing have you done? | 04:30 |
| Nic1 | greg-g: no tests, as i was looking guidance here :) what can i do for testing? i just know that battery life is much less than a few days ago when i was using feisty | 04:33 |
| saivann | bdmurray : It's uploading, I did it with metacity because it's the only way to stay alife :) Notice that each time that I click on the Firefox window, the window does not come up but looks like it's minimized. With Compiz enabled, everything freeze except the mouse at this point | 04:39 |
| saivann | bdmurray : It's in the bug report | 04:40 |
| bdmurray | saivann: you did that with istanbul? | 04:42 |
| saivann | bdmurray : Yes, istanbul is great | 04:42 |
| bdmurray | the file you uploaded has no extension | 04:42 |
| saivann | bdmurray you should be able to open it with totem | 04:43 |
| saivann | bdmurray : it's a ogg | 04:43 |
| bdmurray | right, that's the default format for istanbul but I don't think it actually adds a '.ogg' bit so it wasn't watchable w/in a firefox tab | 04:44 |
| saivann | bdmurray : Oh sorry, I missed the extension, are you able to download it? | 04:45 |
| bdmurray | sure, I'm watching it | 04:45 |
| saivann | great | 04:45 |
| saivann | I'll remember istanbul :) It's been a while that was wondering if such program exist | 04:46 |
| bdmurray | I've been meaning to write something up about it | 04:46 |
| bdmurray | I think it can help w/ language and communication issues too | 04:47 |

| bdmurray | yeah! | 04:50 |
| bdmurray | saivann: what is that sun logo in your oo splash? | 04:50 |
| saivann | bdmurray : Update to the latest openoffice.org in Hardy, I just saw it too | 04:51 |
| greg-g | Nic1: sorry, almost forgot. So, best thing would be to search Launchpad concerning battery life and your laptop, if you can't find anything, report a bug and follow the "filing a bug report" from this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI | 04:52 |
| bdmurray | Okay, I'm updating then. | 04:52 |
| greg-g | yeah, I was wondering about that change | 04:52 |
| saivann | bdmurray : I remember that we had to do a SRU because of the ubuntu logo with gutsy so we might want to prevent it this time :) | 04:52 |
| greg-g | saivann: to change it TO the ubuntu logo? | 04:53 |
| bdmurray | I'm looking into it | 04:54 |
| saivann | greg-g : To remove the ubuntu logo from the openoffice splash | 04:54 |
| greg-g | saivann: oh, gotcha | 04:54 |
| * greg-g was confused | 04:54 | |
| saivann | greg-g : So it might be the same idea with sun logo :) | 04:54 |
| saivann | greg-g : No matter, I'm native french and I'm sure that I do a lot of mistakes when I speak in english.. | 04:54 |
| bdmurray | It was intentional | 04:55 |
| greg-g | no, not with how you said it. I just forgot that happened. | 04:55 |
| saivann | bdmurray : According to the changelog, it fixes bug #199193 but this bug was just about wrong openoffice.org version. I don't see explanation in the changelogs for the sun logo, but the upstream splash might now have this logo | 04:59 |

| bdmurray | No, that's great. | 17:11 |
| bdmurray | If I hold Ctrl+Alt and try to go to the top of the cube I get logged out of gnome. | 17:11 |
| james_w | you meam grabbing the desktop? | 17:13 |
| bdmurray | right, with the pointer | 17:13 |
| james_w | hmm, I'm still here... | 17:13 |
| james_w | let me check another machine | 17:14 |
| james_w | nope, that's fine as well | 17:14 |
| bdmurray | hmmm | 17:17 |
| saivann | bdmurray : pong | 17:48 |
| bdmurray | saivann: are you familiar with bug 150930 at all? Some said they ran into again, possibly after upgrading their comment is vague and uninformative. | 17:50 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 150930 in ubiquity "Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/150930 | 17:50 |
| saivann | bdmurray : Yes I marked so much duplicates of this bug. Let me take a look.. | 17:51 |
| bdmurray | It isn't clear to me whether or not that bug will be resolved when upgrading. | 17:52 |
| saivann | bdmurray : IMO, it is not fixed when upgrading, especially that since Hardy use xrandr 1.3, it's very tricky for usplash to get values from X to put in /etc/usplash.conf | 17:55 |
| saivann | bdmurray : Commented | 17:59 |
| bdmurray | saivann: thanks! | 18:00 |
| saivann | ;) thanks for finding this out | 18:02 |

| jarlath | Hi. I've never done any bug squashing before, or used launchpad much. Could someone confirm my findings before I change the status of a bug? | 20:27 |
| jarlath | I believe that this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/218820 | 20:27 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 218820 in ubuntu "8.04 fails to boot with kernel 2.6.24-15 or 2.6.24-16" [Undecided,New] | 20:27 |
| jarlath | is a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/216353 | 20:27 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 216353 in linux "2.6.24 Kernel boot hangs on disk read ( ldm_validate_partition_table() )" [High,Triaged] | 20:27 |
| secretlondon | as it doesn't affect everybvody you need to check that the hardware is the same | 20:28 |
| secretlondon | or anything else that they might have in common, that other users don't have | 20:29 |
| secretlondon | as it could have more than one cause | 20:29 |
| jarlath | Okay. | 20:29 |
| bdmurray | also in bug 216353 they say -14 does not work while they say it does in 218820 | 20:30 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 216353 in linux "2.6.24 Kernel boot hangs on disk read ( ldm_validate_partition_table() )" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/216353 | 20:30 |
| secretlondon | it's more obvious with things like "audio doesn't work" that it could have multiple causes | 20:30 |

| bdmurray | getting the person in bug 218820 to boot w/o usplash would be quite helpful | 20:30 |

| jarlath | I'll ask. Thanks. | 20:32 |
| bdmurray | Thank you for helping out! | 20:32 |
| jarlath | My absolute pleasure. Thanks for an amazing OS! | 20:33 |
| jarlath | I'd appreciate some input on this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/218831 | 21:01 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 218831 in ubuntu "Firefox install on Kubuntu 8.04 wants to download 116 MB of archives" [Undecided,New] | 21:01 |
| jarlath | It seems more like a complaint than a bug? | 21:01 |
| jarlath | And if it is to be treated as a bug, whos area is it? | 21:01 |
| greg-g | ok, impatient person question: how long does apport usually take to get to a "needs-amd64-retrace" bug? | 21:02 |
| greg-g | jarlath: that actually is a bug, because you shouldn't have to download openoffice to run firefox | 21:02 |
| greg-g | I remember there being some lauguage-pack dependency issues last week or so, I wonder what LiveCD is being used | 21:03 |
| greg-g | I would file it under firefox-3 for now, can always change it later as more information is discovered | 21:04 |
| bdmurray | greg-g: it is possible for the retracer to hang sometimes, how long has it been? | 21:06 |
| greg-g | bdmurray: hour and 20 minutes ago | 21:10 |
| greg-g | I told you I'm impatient :) | 21:11 |
| bdmurray | heh, I'll see if anyone w/ the right super powers is around | 21:11 |
| greg-g | oh, no worries, i was just wondering if there was some "if it takes longer than X amount of time, contact your representative" :) | 21:12 |
| jarlath | Okay guys, thanks. I'll put it down as affecting Firefox. | 21:19 |
| bdmurray | greg-g: the retracer is off at the moment | 21:22 |
| greg-g | bdmurray: ahh, thanks for the info. And really, no rush on anything from my end. | 21:23 |
| jarlath | The reporter used the command 'apt-get firefox' for this bug to occur, but firefox 3 is what was offered for installation. Would I choose firefox or firefox3 package here? | 21:24 |
| bdmurray | firefox-3.0 | 21:24 |
| jarlath | thanks | 21:24 |

| bdmurray | It'd be good to know which Live CD they noticed this with | 21:27 |
| _max_ | id like to report what i concider a bug | 22:56 |
| _max_ | in the installer (both alternate and regular) there is no way to force gpt label. | 22:57 |
| _max_ | i tried booting with the normal installer, entering console, changing to gpt using parted, creating partitions using the gui, and its still gpt all the way until i click [install] | 22:57 |
| _max_ | then it changes it back to friggin msdos, and my remaining 4tb are useless | 22:57 |
| secretlondon | _max_, then report it, the bugtracker is launchpad | 22:58 |
| _max_ | okey. | 22:59 |
| mrooney | Is there a page describing how to use milestones? | 23:09 |
| mrooney | ie, when it is appropriate to set them? | 23:10 |
| bdmurray | mrooney: this late in the release cycle we are very conservative with them | 23:16 |
| mrooney | bdmurray: that makes sense. Is it then true conversely that it is fair to liberally set Intrepid milestones for bugs that appear as if they should be addressed by then? | 23:19 |
| mrooney | I was just wondering if there is a page that explains what sorts of bugs are candidates for milestones and then as you addressed when to mark it as such | 23:20 |
| bdmurray | Milestones are useful for the release manager and the release team and as I understand it they are drafting some guidelines. However, it might be a wee bit. ;) | 23:21 |
| mrooney | ahh okay, so I should stay away from them for now? | 23:23 |
| mrooney | and not just for now as in Hardy but, in general | 23:24 |
| bdmurray | That sounds safest for now, the list is rather cluttered | 23:27 |
| SnakeArt | Hi. I think that there could be a bug in kernel 2.6.22-14-generic which makes unable to create wacom device in /dev/input/ . Is there any way to solve that problem? | 23:33 |
| secretlondon | SnakeArt, we can't take support requests here (they belong on #ubuntu+1). if you think there is a bug please report it on launchpad | 23:37 |
| SnakeArt | secretlondon: I see, but this channel is my last hope. I need to configure wacom bamboo one on gutsy, but required wacom file in /dev/input/ is missing. If You know anything about that problem, give me a note where to look for it.,please. | 23:40 |
| secretlondon | oh this is gutsy?> | 23:40 |
| secretlondon | we really can't do support here, this is where we do bug triaging. launchpad answers may be a good place though | 23:41 |
| SnakeArt | secretlondon: Yes, 2.6.22-14-generic on amd64. I try with launchpad. | 23:42 |
| bdmurray | SnakeArt: The people in ubuntu-x might have more information. It sounds familiar. | 23:42 |
| SnakeArt | bdmurray: Thank you. I will take a look there,too. | 23:42 |
