mrooneyhmm what about bug #220037, that isn't a bug is it, has everything just transitioned to sda?00:15

mrooneyall all hard drives sda?00:17
Nafallono, but we're getting there.00:19

DShepherdi know it doesnt work for gutsy.04:19
DShepherdbdmurray, do you have hardy?04:19
bdmurrayDShepherd: why yes I do04:20
DShepherdbdmurray, do you have this problem also>04:20
DShepherd?04:20
DShepherdin hardy of course04:20
bdmurrayI'm still reading but I can input data w/o any problems04:20
DShepherdbdmurray, the title is a bit misleading..04:21
bdmurrayYou could change it then04:21
DShepherdif you save an email address in work and close it.. it comes up in home when you reopen it04:21
DShepherdbdmurray, how do you I go about changing the title?04:21
bdmurrayclick the pencil by "Bug description"04:22
DShepherdbdmurray, should i open another bug and mark this one as a duplicate?04:22
DShepherdbdmurray, indeed...04:22
bdmurrayI think I can confirm the e-mail addresses being transposed04:24
DShepherdbdmurray, so... do you have this problem too?04:24
DShepherdo04:24
DShepherdin hardy too bdmurray ?04:25
bdmurrayI'm double checking with a different account / system04:25
DShepherdbdmurray, ok. i will do the same04:25
DShepherdbdmurray, it seems to be a problem for another account i have on this system04:28
bdmurrayDShepherd: I put the package version I tested with, but I think the package is wrong04:33
bdmurraynope, by bad the package name is right04:33
DShepherdok04:33
bdmurrayThe only bug I observed was the work and home e-mail addresses being transposed04:34
DShepherdbdmurray, well.. here's another....04:34
DShepherdbdmurray, after entering information and clicking the close button all inputted info seems not to be saved.04:34
DShepherdbdmurray, is that the same for you?04:34
bdmurrayno, that is not the case on Hardy04:35
DShepherdbdmurray, ... well in gutsy no matter what change you make and then you click the Close Button at the bottom right of the dialog. the information is not saved04:36
DShepherdbdmurray, you say that this is not in hardy?04:37
bdmurrayThat is correct, that bug does not exist in Hardy.04:37
DShepherdbdmurray, what version gnome is hardy runng?04:37
bdmurrayI put the package version in the bug04:37
DShepherdbdmurray, ok04:37
DShepherdbdmurray, ok. I am currently talking to ivazquez in #gnome or gimp.net. I want to check to see if this is an bug is upstream too04:39
DShepherdbdmurray, do you know ivazquez?04:39
bdmurrayno I do not04:40
DShepherdbdmurray, ok04:40
DShepherdbdmurray, do you know what i can do to kinda push this bug to be fixed?04:43
bdmurrayforward it upstream for Ubuntu 8.10, for 8.04 it depends04:44
DShepherdbdmurray, by the way, does your help button do anything?04:45
bdmurrayHelp where?04:46
DShepherdbdmurray, on the about me dialog. does the help button do anything?04:47
bdmurraythere is no help button anymore it seems04:47
DShepherdbdmurray, oh ok04:47
DShepherdbdmurray, how do i go about forwarding it upstream. Excuse my ignorance. I am quite new to this part04:51
bdmurrayDShepherd: We have some documentation on that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME04:53
DShepherdbdmurray, thanks for your patience and your time. I will give that a read04:54
bdmurrayno problem I'll be a around for another 30 minutes or so if you have any more questions04:54

bdmurrayWhile the other one should be about transposing the e-mail addresses05:12
techno_freakbdmurray, i feel that bug is valid in hardy, i remember filling up personal details and everything is gone now05:12
DShepherdbdmurray, yeah. its a weird bug. I just tried switching tabs before i close the about me dialog after putting an email address in home. On reopen both home and work have the same email address05:13
bdmurraytechno_freak: okay, it would be best to test it with a specific package version and add that to the bug05:16
techno_freakbdmurray, ok05:16
bdmurrayUh, I mean test it and the package version to make it more complete05:17
DShepherdbdmurray, i have filed a bug upstream but it has not been 'approved' should I wait until its confirmed before I make a note on launchpad?05:22

RochJerHello - I wanted to know if I can report one simple bug in here15:21
jarlathI don't know what package to assign this bug. The bug is the lack of installed help for users and groups in xubuntu.15:33

ubotuLaunchpad bug 220255 in ubuntu "no help for xubuntu "users and groups"" [Undecided,New]15:33

pedro_xubuntu-system-tools maybe?15:36
pedro_works fine with gnome-system-tools on hardy though15:37

bdmurrayafflux: I'll sign something for you!16:47
affluxthanks! I'll tell my teacher. He uses linux on the school machines btw., but it's suse 10.1 :(16:47
bdmurrayNow, really is a critical time though.  We have lots of bugs coming in and need to identify the most important ones.16:47
affluxyeah right. though I've the impression that we got far more reports after alpha releases than after the RC16:50
bdmurrayI'm checking the graphs, that's weird.16:54
affluxyes, it's really only an impression I had, I didn't check any numbers ;)16:54
bdmurrayyou might be right, I'm not certain how to interpret it though16:55

sykehi18:08
thekornmy first idea was to look here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bugs18:08
sykeI think I've figured out why flash apps lock up on my laptop18:09
bdmurrayright, those are bugs with approved nominations which isn't as useful I think18:09
thekornbut it's defenetly not well structured18:09
sykeit has nothing to do with the nth song playing on pandora18:09
bdmurraythe qatracker ones may not yet be nominated and approved for Hardy18:09
sykeit's when there's a powersave mode change18:09

sykeif there's any info I can/should add to help debug, let me know18:45
bdmurraysyke: it isn't clear to me what to set in gnome-power-manager to test this18:46
sykebdmurray: I'm using kubuntu, so it's kpowermanager here18:47
sykebut I right-click, policy->powersave18:47
sykebdmurray: find it?18:51
ograbdmurray, g-p-m doesnt allow to set the cpufreq governor deliberately, you wont find options like powersave/ondemand/performance there18:53
ograwe default to ondemand for everything because powersave forces the lowest speed the cpu offers (in my case 133MHz for example which will likely break sound playback as the CPU cant handle the sampling rate)18:55
ogra(see /etc/init.d/powernowd)18:56
ograthe bug here is that kpowersave allows you to select such a mode18:58
ogras/kpowersave/kpowermanager/18:59
bdmurrayogra: thanks for that information, that's really useful!19:00
sykeogra: dynamic also triggers the issue here19:02
sykefor me, "powersave" is 800mhz19:02
ogralucky you :)19:03
ograsyke, for many people its not ... thats why we use ondemand by default :)19:03
sykeyou could probably still test19:03
ograi dont have kubuntu available here19:04
sykedynamic == ondemand19:04
sykeI don't think it's a kubuntu issue19:04
ograwell, ubuntu doesnt offer any UI element to do what you do there19:04
ograit might technically be an issue, but ubuntu users wont experience it19:05
* syke sighs19:08
sykeif it defaults to ondemand19:08
sykeas you say19:08
sykethen, likely they will19:08
sykesince the issue occurs in that mode as well19:08
sykesorry if I wasn't making that clear19:08
osmosisthe icon for xchat-gnome is broken after first installing, but is fine after a reboot.19:15
osmosisit was this way in gutsy, and appears the same in hardy.19:15
sykeso...19:18
sykeis there anything else I need to add to this bug?19:18
sykeshould I contact my canonical support rep to try and get some attention?19:19
bdmurraysyke: I'm still not clear on how to recreate it in Ubuntu but I set laptop lid is closed to "Blank screen" and am listening to music from pandora.com with the lid closed19:22
sykeyea, the lid itself doesn't do it for me either19:22
sykecan you try setting the powersave mode?19:28
ograsyke, you said it is occuring during mode switching only19:30
sykeseeminglu19:31
ograthere is no way to switch modes in ubuntu19:31
sykeer19:31
sykeI don't mean when manually switching the policy19:31
ograunless you use the commandline and know what to do19:31
sykeI mean when the CPU/input has been idle, and the CPU and display power down further19:31
ograthey wont in ondemand19:32

Arbyand I can't work out why20:53
mvo_Arby: what does your sources.list look like? apt-proxy expectes something like deb http://server:9999/ubuntu I think21:01
mvo_Arby: hm, did you try (just for the fun of it) to remove the trailing "/" from your ubuntu/ source entry?21:02
Arbyno but I can do21:03
Arbymvo_: I'm at the step before that working from this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy#head-be0e5f3cd615e9100d4bd6d75dc57d2b19d2919a21:03

Arbyand likely to remain so21:04

Arbyso I'll bypass that step and see what happens21:04

Arbyor words to that effect but a bit more verbose21:27
Arbymvo_: would u-m be expected to work if the machine running the proxy had no internet access and only a dvd as a repo21:29
mvo_Arby: sort of, it would hang for a long time at startup though because it tries to connect to the net21:34
ArbyI'm just thinking that the reporter on 216907 implied that none of the machines had access to the outside world21:35
Arbycomment 3 just after your first comment21:35
Arbyand I was wondering what the solution is there21:36
Arbymvo_: do you have any plans to teach u-m to test for an available network and behave accordingly in the future?21:38
Arbyit's something that comes up often in the bug reports21:38
mvo_Arby: I have a pending upload that shorten the timeout considerable (from 120s to 20s) - this should improve it a lot21:39
mvo_Arby: its not ideal currently but there is no reliable way to tell is there is a network currently (hopefully network-manager will provide one in the future)21:39
mvo_but its definitely something that should get fixed21:39
Arbymvo_: ok, I might test a dvd-via-proxy update tomorrow21:40
Arbyit's a bit of a corner case but 216907 implies it does happen21:40
* mvo_ nods21:41
Arbymvo_: last question I promise :) , is deb file://path/to/dvd.iso a valid entry in sources.list? just to save dvd's21:43
mvo_Arby: most likely not, you could mount the iso there (using -o loop) I guess, but there is apt-cdrom add for this :)21:44
Arbyfair enough21:45
