| * ogra doesnt feel so alone anymore whatching the user madhouse | 01:13 | |
| bdmurray | ogra: it recently seemed like it needed some help | 01:15 |
| ogra | yeah, it does | 01:15 |
| bdmurray | but I feel one person isn't enough either | 01:15 |
| ogra | i only manage to roughly follow it in recent times | 01:16 |
| ogra | yeah, its our biggest list and pretty noisy ... there are not many developers readin it anymore | 01:17 |
| bdmurray | I was thinking that maybe bugsquad members reading / commenting would be sufficient help. | 01:18 |
| ogra | surely | 01:19 |
| bdmurray | I saw some comments about using a partition separte from ubiquity which seems silly now a days | 01:19 |
| ogra | it just was a great ressource for help once where you had lots of knowledgeable people giving excellent advise ... the level dropped massively over the three years i'm on it | 01:20 |
| bdmurray | er, a partition utility | 01:20 |
| ogra | yeah, there is a lot of such stuff | 01:20 |
| ogra | and recently some very active people with half breeded knowledge who think they know everything because they used redhat before ... "use telinit 2 to siwtch to non graphics mode" | 01:22 |

| greg-g | macd: looks like it, yes | 03:10 |
| danage | hello saivann? | 03:12 |
| saivann | danage : Hi! | 03:12 |
| danage | hi! wow our bug got fixed | 03:12 |
| saivann | danage : Did you see, our bug got fixed | 03:12 |
| saivann | danage : Yes :D | 03:12 |
| danage | :) | 03:12 |
| danage | it even looks like it might make release | 03:13 |
| mrooney | ooh what bug is that | 03:13 |
| saivann | danage : Now that's how very well described bugs + incredible developers makes good work | 03:13 |
| danage | :) | 03:13 |
| danage | i wish the bluetooth problem was more evident | 03:13 |
| danage | i would love to have it fixed | 03:13 |
| danage | disabling hidd didn't change anything | 03:13 |
| saivann | mrooney : That was a bug in gvfs that prevented users to list files with more than 8 spaces in FTP servers, I don't have the bug number, but it got fixed in few days | 03:14 |
| saivann | danage : Really? That might be kind of bad bug with the driver, that's less evident.. | 03:15 |
| danage | that is what i am thinking. i am testing right now with a usb dongle on another computer, see if it's apple mouse specific | 03:15 |
| greg-g | does xubuntu use the restricted-driver manager? | 03:15 |
| greg-g | aka, package "restricted-manager" | 03:16 |
| danage | wow, a lot of now updates being pushed through today | 03:16 |
| saivann | greg-g : I'll answer this in ~1 minute | 03:16 |
| greg-g | saivann: thankya | 03:16 |
| saivann | danage : I use a USB belkin bluetooth dongle.. so | 03:16 |
| danage | i have a chinadongle now, i'm gonna use it tonight and see how it turns out | 03:17 |
| saivann | greg-g : xubuntu gutsy did, I don't know about Hardy but I doubt that it changed. | 03:17 |
| greg-g | saivann: thanks. anyway of searching for the answer online so i don't have to ask you again? :) | 03:18 |
| saivann | danage : Great :) | 03:18 |
| greg-g | s/anyway/is there a way/ | 03:19 |
| saivann | greg-g : I was thinking about rdepends, but it does not seems to show needed informations, so I don't know :) Unless installing xubuntu inside a virtualbox VM, that's what I do | 03:21 |
| bdmurray | greg-g: it is called jockey now | 03:21 |
| bdmurray | and an 'apt-cache show jockey-common' show the Tasks it is installed in | 03:22 |
| saivann | That's why I did not find jockey in gutsy... | 03:22 |
| Gnine | no restricted drivers shown in jockey-gtk | 03:22 |
| greg-g | bdmurray: awesome, thanks | 03:23 |
| saivann | greg-g : and apt-cache rdepends jockey-gtk show the reverse depends :) | 03:23 |
| greg-g | saivann: that works too, thanks | 03:24 |
| * greg-g learned something new todya | 03:24 | |
| saivann | greg-g : np :) | 03:24 |
| saivann | hehe, we all, I think.. | 03:24 |
| mrooney | bdmurray: do you know where I can find the debian/$package.gconf-defaults file of a package? I am having trouble doing so | 03:24 |
| bdmurray | mrooney: in the package itself I'd guess | 03:24 |
| bdmurray | try apt-get source $PKGNAME | 03:25 |
| mrooney | bdmurray: thanks, that did the trick! | 03:26 |
| mrooney | bdmurray: by the way in regards to bug #78038, it turned out that rhythmbox DID prevent hibernate/suspend on critical battery. the issue got fixed by disabling the rhythmbox plugin that caused that, but is there a more important underlying issue that allowed that to happen in the first place? | 03:31 |

| LoOoD | I'm trying out the hands free install via PXE. Seems to be stuck in a loop while partitioning the drive. It gets the kernel/initrd/preseed file and boots up. /var/log/partman just seems to grow forever. | 03:45 |
| danage | LoOoD: mustn't be a pxe-related problem then. i installed from a usb stick the other day, with all packages being loaded from ubuntu archive server | 03:47 |
| LoOoD | pxe said then. what can I do to figure out what is wrong? I regular interactive netboot install works fine. | 03:49 |

| mrooney | great, I really miss those. now let me try to find that bug... | 04:41 |
| cool | Hi, i would like to report a bug, before that i would like to verify if its really a bug. | 05:07 |
| cool | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=761885 | 05:07 |
| bdmurray | cool: Hi, I'm looking at it now | 05:09 |
| cool | Thanks | 05:09 |
| bdmurray | Is that your post? | 05:12 |
| cool | yes | 05:12 |
| bdmurray | It'd be good to test with Hardy via a Live CD | 05:12 |
| macd | is there an easy way to make a change to just a control file, rather than having to rebuild the entire package? (it is a depends on change) | 05:13 |
| macd | oops wrong chan | 05:14 |
| cool | bdmurray, the main problem is that this error occurs random, using live & testing is not a solution | 05:14 |
| cool | as, system behaves normal 90% times | 05:15 |
| cool | right now i am posting fom same box, on which the error is reported | 05:15 |
| cool | still today or tomorrow i would try to upgrade to hardy | 05:16 |
| techno_freak | firefox3 randomly goes off :s | 05:16 |
| cool | bdmurray, is there any further debugging required on this system? | 05:16 |
| cool | since, then all data would have been gone, i would be doing a clean install to minimise problems | 05:17 |
| bdmurray | cool: From what I understand of your situation it is unlikely to be fixed in Gutsy as it doesn't meet SRU criteria, so no we wouldn't need anything from that system. by the way dist-upgrades work really really well | 05:18 |
| mrooney | cool: I would imagine that either way you are fine. If you update to Hardy and the issue is gone, then you it has been addressed in some way and doesn't need a bug report. If it still exists in Hardy, you will be able to obtain more relevant information that way | 05:19 |
| cool | mrooney, bdmurray :Thanks a lot Guys! | 05:20 |
| cool | bdmurray, i could use dist-upgrades but i have few other problems which i would not like to carry forward | 05:21 |
| cool | some problems, which i didn't find any solution | 05:21 |
| bdmurray | cool: ah, okay | 05:21 |
| mrooney | cool: I know what you mean, personally I find Ubuntu so easy to restore to a state you like (ie, one line apt-get install to get all your apps again), that I like fresh installs to keep everything clean | 05:22 |
| cool | anyone facing disappearing desktop problem with compiz-fusion, i have reported it to bugzilla at compiz few days back but no reply yet. | 05:23 |
| mrooney | Hm, I am not aware of that issue at all | 05:23 |
| mrooney | how does a desktop disappear | 05:23 |
| mrooney | can you see through to behind the screen? :) | 05:23 |

| cool | I am having problem with compiz fusion, main problem is the My whole desktop keeps disappearing in parts, then comes back for few secs when i hover mouse pointer the them. | 05:30 |
| * cool uploads a screenshot | 05:30 | |
| mrooney | that sounds very...unique | 05:31 |
| mrooney | I would not be at all surprised if that is gone in Hardy | 05:31 |
| cool | my most problems are unique | 05:31 |

| ffm | ? | 13:23 |
| ffm | I mean, my bug report is currently private, it involves a crash of pybackpack. How do I make sure nothing personal is in there? | 13:24 |
| Arby | ffm: I think it needs to be done by a member of bugsquad, got a bug number | 13:24 |

| Arby | don't know then sorry | 13:30 |

| pedro_ | ffm: may you subscribe me to it? | 13:31 |

| pedro_ | ffm: thanks, there's nothing private on the report, you can make it public | 13:36 |
| pedro_ | Arby: yep | 13:36 |

| ffm | pedro_ Arby , it says "needs-duplicate-check" as one of its tags, but it is the only bug in that package. Can I remove the tag? | 13:40 |
| pedro_ | ffm: yes, but it's weird I've seen a few bugs with "need-duplicate-check" tag and a comment from apport saying something like "this bug it's probably a dup of #xxxxxx but the latest one was fixed" | 13:41 |
| pedro_ | first time i seen a needs-duplicate-check without a comment like that | 13:41 |
| Arby | sounds like apport is being odd | 13:42 |
| ffm | Should I report it upstream as well? | 13:42 |
| ffm | Arby pedro_ , see above. | 13:44 |
| james_w | ffm: I think so yes, the package isn't patched at all, so there's little chance of it being Ubuntu-specific. | 13:45 |
| ffm | james_w: Uh, I wanted to add a link to the external tracker, http://projects.sucs.org/projects/pybackpack/ticket/64 , and it did so, but said it was a bug in archlinux. | 13:46 |

| thekorn | Is the broken error pages in mozilla browsers (xml parsing error) a known issue? | 13:59 |
| thekorn | i wonder if this is a translation error or something elese | 14:00 |
| james_w | thekorn: I heard someone mention it to asac the other day I think. | 14:00 |
| seb128 | I think asac fixed it | 14:01 |
| thekorn | ah ok, maybe the fix does not land on my system yet | 14:02 |
| seb128 | he might not have uploaded | 14:02 |
| seb128 | I think he said to pitti that he figured what was wrong yesterday, I'm not sure now though | 14:02 |

| mrooney | hmm, is it really appropriate to just say "this bug is a duplicate" but say you don't know which one, and just mark it Invalid? I am referencing bug #180064 | 16:24 |

| mrooney | okay, but if a seasoned bug veteran can't find it, how do you expect that person to find it? | 16:26 |
| mrooney | it seems pretty rude | 16:26 |
| pedro_ | mrooney: you're welcome to look at it and help us | 16:26 |
| bdmurray | mrooney: I think it is a question of efficient use of time | 16:26 |
| mrooney | yeah, I understand from an Ubuntu productivity viewpoint | 16:28 |
| mrooney | it just doesn't seem like a very good user experience | 16:28 |
| mrooney | but if it is generally agreed upon as acceptable I guess I can note it! | 16:29 |
| bdmurray | I don't think it is best but don't think there is a good alternative either. We could tag it as likely-dup and then someone else would have to find the duplicate bug report. | 16:30 |
| afflux | "usage: update-rc.d [...]" reports, are they all the same and is there sort of a big masterbug? | 16:30 |
| james_w | afflux: I doubt they are all the same | 16:31 |
| james_w | if they were it would be a bug in debhelper, and there would be hundreds of duplicates I expect. | 16:32 |
| james_w | afflux: do you have a reference please? | 16:32 |
| seb128 | mrooney: that's either that or we keep under of duplicates open because we are too busy to search the exact number | 16:35 |
| bdmurray | james_w: thanks for testing my debdiff | 16:36 |
| qense | that was scary, it looked like hardy didn't allow ethernet connections to work. That would be a terrible bug three days before the release... Fortunately it was a fault in my computer and now I've got internet again! | 16:36 |
| seb128 | mrooney: it takes some minutes to do that, either the submitter has to do the job or the overworked bug triagers have to do that for all those users, don't you think it's better to share the workload? | 16:36 |
| afflux | james_w: bug 220645 and bug 220643 seem to be related to pulseaudio, rsync and acpid | 16:36 |

| afflux | james_w: and hotkey-setup. At least the dpkglog shows 4 identically error messages around line 6375 | 16:37 |
| mrooney | seb128: yeah, but I guess I feel like a tag would help out, so someone could go through and try to find the dups and mark them as such, to properly draw more attention to them | 16:37 |
| seb128 | mrooney: well, that's quite some work and we don't think that's best use we can do of our efforts right now | 16:38 |
| bdmurray | mrooney: What state would the bug be in that case? If it was New I think it might waste people's time. | 16:38 |
| Arby | is it safe to close bug 220569? it looks like just unfortunate timing and seems to have been resolved | 16:38 |

| mrooney | bdmurray: no, it can still be Invalid | 16:38 |
| mrooney | but at least say, I could search for "probable-dup" and find the dups later, mark them as such, and improve the situation | 16:39 |
| Arby | although the second last comment sounds like a separate issue | 16:39 |
| james_w | afflux: the logs are a little odd, yes. It's kind of strange they all hit at once. | 16:39 |
| afflux | Arby: the "current dist not found in meta-release file" sounds familiar, I think it's rather a warning | 16:39 |

| nemo | greg-g: I need to file a new bug about complex passphrases. | 16:45 |
| nemo | greg-g: but that bug is no longer accurate (see comments 3 and 4) | 16:45 |
| greg-g | nemo: gotcha, so you are opening a new bug about the actual cause of the problem? | 16:46 |
| nemo | greg-g: yep | 16:46 |
| nemo | or you could rephrase the bug if you have rights :) | 16:46 |
| nemo | passphrases containing quote marks and spaces break network-admin/iwconfig | 16:46 |
| greg-g | nemo: well, with the big comments it is kinda "messy" now, so a new bug with all the pertinent information and none of the "noise" would be cool | 16:47 |
| nemo | greg-g: rephrasing would save me time reposting stuff I suppose | 16:47 |
| nemo | greg-g: fair 'nuff. | 16:47 |
| nemo | greg-g: most of the noise *was* 'cause I thought it was driver related | 16:47 |
| greg-g | nemo: awesome, thanks! I'll take care of this one. | 16:47 |
| nemo | not that relevant to "iwconfig is using the wrong passphrase" | 16:47 |
| greg-g | nemo: yeah, I understand, thanks for helping! | 16:47 |
| nemo | thanks much. | 16:47 |

| Arby | anybody have any idea what causes bugs like bug 220589? | 16:49 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 220589 in update-manager "update-manager crashes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/220589 | 16:49 |
| Arby | error message is E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' | 16:49 |
| Arby | I see quite a few bug with errors against those files | 16:49 |
| Arby | are they problem files downloaded from a server somewhere or something that's been mangled locally | 16:50 |
| greg-g | have they tried an "apt-get update"? | 16:50 |
| greg-g | and is it reproducible over time (ie: 30 minutes later) | 16:51 |
| Arby | probably not | 16:51 |
| Arby | I was just wondering what those files did really | 16:51 |
| bdmurray | This is interesting because it is a security update | 16:51 |
| Arby | since it occurs quite often | 16:51 |
| greg-g | bdmurray: good call, those updates are fewer and probably experience less issues when updating the packages file | 16:52 |
| greg-g | the packages file contains the info needed to calculate the upgrades (packages and dependencies etc) | 16:52 |
| bdmurray | I think that update just came out yesterday so trying an apt-get update again would be good | 16:53 |
| greg-g | (I believe that is, I've never taken one apart) | 16:53 |
| bdmurray | You can just look at that file in a text editor | 16:53 |

| james_w | jarlath: that looks like ubiquity to me, what made you think of jockey? | 17:12 |
| james_w | the bug sounds a little familiar anyway, I can't grab you a bug report though, I'm afraid. | 17:13 |
| nemo | yep. eval is not necessary. | 17:13 |
| jarlath | I remember assigning ubiquity before for an installer related bug, and someone else changed it to jockey. | 17:13 |
| james_w | jarlath: you're normally safe with ubiquity, jockey has little to do with the installation process normally. | 17:14 |
| jarlath | james_w: Thanks. I don't actually know what jockey is. I searched packages.ubuntu.com but I can't find an actual description of the package. | 17:14 |
| james_w | jockey is what used to be called 'restricted-manger', but now handles other drivers as well, so a name change was appropriate | 17:14 |
| james_w | so if the problem was installing nvidia then it would be a jockey bug, not a ubiquity one. | 17:15 |
| jarlath | james_w: Ah, okay. Thanks for that. | 17:19 |
