ogasawarakees:  I was able to reproduce 190329.  I'm currently waiting for the kernel to finish building with the patch to hopefully resolve it.  I gotta jam out of here for a second before the build will likely finish but I'll ping you with the results.00:49
keesogasawara: okay, cool.  if so, we can put it into the hardy security update (that doesn't exist yet)01:01

pedro_probably next Tuesday (May 06)03:44
ffmpedro_: Also, what;s the place to report release notes bugs?03:44
pedro_but every day is good for working on bugs so if you want to triage and have any doubt just ask here in the channel03:44
ffmpedro_: Will it ever be a thursday, friday, saturday, or sunday?03:44
ffmpedro_: kk.03:45
pedro_ffm: yep, we have 2 hug days a week, one the tuesday and another one on thursdays03:45

secretlondonjames_w Just read your email re: testing. You make it sound like there is overlap between bug work and testing12:59
james_wsecretlondon: the one I sent a moment ago?13:00
secretlondonjames_w I don't think I'm experienced enough for that yet. I think my next step will be to do motu beginner type jobs13:00
secretlondonjames_w yes13:00
james_wCan you explain how I gave that impression?13:01
james_wThe QA team does include people who work mainly on bugs, so I think there is an overlap.13:01
secretlondonjames_ w https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles, Kernel bug first-response, and the fact that you said the qa team live in -testing13:02
james_wah, true. There is definitely overlap I guess. I probably should have mentioned #ubuntu-bugs as well.13:03
james_wDo you think I need to clarify something in the mail?13:03
secretlondonI'm not exactly sure what the qa team do, that bug-control don't13:04
james_wbugcontrol is supposed to be part of the wider QA team I think, even if it's not reflected in group memberships.13:05
secretlondonjames_w I wonder whether promoting the qa team on Ubuntu women may be too advanced. Most people on the list are users, not contributors. You seem to need to be a pretty strong contributor to be part of qa13:05
james_wsecretlondon: point taken. It's rare to get these roles outlined like this though, so I thought I would take advantage of that though.13:06
secretlondoncool13:07
* secretlondon generally makes her own jobs, looking for unloved bits13:07
james_wyep, that's a great way to do it.13:07
james_wdo you think a mention of bugcontrol in response to the mail would be a good thing?13:07
secretlondonI think a mention of entry level stuff would be good13:08
secretlondonbug control isn't entry level either13:08
secretlondonand hug days as a good 1st step13:08
james_wwould you like to write something explaining about hug days, bugsquad and bugcontrol in response?13:09
secretlondonokay, but I have to go out very soon13:09
secretlondonI personally didn't know about the qa team, so it's useful for me!13:10
secretlondonI've book marked their wiki pages13:10
james_wgreat, thanks.13:10
james_wI think the forums role doesn't require too much knowledge, certainly to get started.13:10
secretlondontrue13:11
secretlondonbut it's a big job I imagine13:11
james_woh yeah13:11
james_wbut even starting to do a little bit would be a great help. It seems like there's loads of information on the forums related to QA, and I'm not sure how much flows back.13:12
secretlondonThere is loads on unofficial channels. I see refs to bugs on twitter even13:13
secretlondonjames_w oh btw do you know what bzr error 104 is? I get it from the 5-a-day applet13:15
james_wsecretlondon: yeah, thekorn asked me about that, I don't know I'm afraid, I didn't think it gave any error codes over 4, but maybe I misunderstand.13:16
james_wThe traceback about not having an address associated with a name is weird as well, I assume you have no trouble accessing launchpad otherwise?13:17
secretlondonokay. I think it may be my ISP13:17
secretlondonI think bzr and vodafone may not be compatible, even though I've got rid of the filter13:17
secretlondonjames_w no problems at all13:17
secretlondonunless it is confused by the fact that I use wvdial for connectivity13:18
secretlondonbut everything else copes, except nm13:18
james_wit shouldn't be, but it's a possibility.13:18
james_wcan you "ssh bazaar.launchpad.net"?13:19
secretlondonpermission denied, ssh key error13:19
secretlondonLaunchpad user 'secret' doesn't have a registered SSH key13:19
secretlondonsecret is my login on this box13:19
james_wsecretlondon is your lp id?13:20
secretlondonyes13:20
james_wdoes "ssh secretlondon@bazaar.launchpad.net" work?13:20
secretlondonLaunchpad user 'secret' doesn't have a registered SSH key13:20
secretlondonsecret@celery:~$ ssh bazaar.launchpad.net -l secretlondon13:20
secretlondonNo shells on this server.13:20

secretlondonsecret@celery:~$ ssh secretlondon@bazaar.launchpad.net13:21
secretlondonNo shells on this server.13:21
secretlondonConnection to bazaar.launchpad.net closed.13:21
james_wsecretlondon: that's ok, it only lets bzr log in for security, it shows that it works though, so I'm not sure what the problem is.13:21

freetownit appears to me that ppp is broken on hardy heron. pppd does not update resolv.conf with the name server information it gets nor does it run ip-up.local or perhaps any of those scripts14:07
james_wfreetown: is there a bug reported in launchpad? Just telling us in here means that it will get lost and won't get acted upon14:08
freetownlooking14:08
freetownhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ppp/+bug/75218 seems to describe what i see but that was filed against 6.07 and marked undecided14:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 75218 in ppp "ppp does not put nameservers into /etc/resolv.conf" [Undecided,New]14:11

freetownah14:13
freetownfrancais, bugs. neat14:13
james_wfreetown: does it work if you install resolvconf?14:15
freetownno bug report related to ip-up.local. I guess I will have to file one? But it appears to be related to pppd not running any scripts at all after establishing a connection.14:15
freetownjames_w, hold on14:16
|chris_t|?14:27
james_wIs there a wiki page on debugging wireless driver problems?14:31
qenseI don't think so14:32
qensewe really should have such a page14:32
qensemore and more people are using wirelss14:32
james_whttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager is reasonably helpful14:32
qensebut drivers are often kernel modules14:33
james_wyup14:33
james_wI'm going for lunch in a local cafe where wireless didn't work last time, so I want to debug it. I won't have a second machine, so I'm trying to load up on information first.14:34

james_wI'll try them, thanks.14:38
kblinah, rats.14:39
kblinI hate to file dups.14:40
freetownjames_w, after installing resolvconf, do i need to run pppoeconf again or something? if not...installing resolvconf does not fix the zero update resolv.conf by pppd problem14:43
freetownjames_w, file generated by resolvconf...but empty14:44
james_wfreetown: I don't know I'm afraid it was just mentioned in the bug report you linked to.14:47
james_whave you tried running pppoeconf again?14:48
freetownanybody here who understands the intricracies between pppd, pppoe, resolv.conf and resolvconf?14:57
ografreetown, is usepeerdns set in your config  ?15:09
ogra(you dont need resolvconf installed, it will cause more headdaches than it solves)15:09
freetownogra, well, i did set it via pppoeconf15:10
ografreetown, /etc/ppp/peers/ has your peer configs, make sure to have usepeerdns in the provider file you use15:10
freetownogra, okay. i will check. however, can you explain why pppd does not run ip-up.local?15:11
ograit runs the scripts from /etc/ppp/ usually15:11
ograi dont think there is a .local15:12
freetownogra, if it did...it should have updated resolv.conf. .local is what you are recommended to use. ip-up checks for executable ip-up.local15:12
ograls -l /etc/resolv.conf ?15:13
ogra(pppd wont update it if its executable)15:14
freetowncoming15:14
ograor rather the usepeerdns script wont :)15:15
freetownogra, 644 permissions15:21
freetownand userpeerdns is set in the provider file15:22
ograare you sure your providers dhcp sends dns data ?15:24
ogra(one would expect so, but you never know)15:24
freetownwell, pppd logs down the name server ips from the isp...so...i take the answer to be yes?15:25
freetowni think i should just add debug code to the ppp scripts just to see if they are run properly....15:26
ograok15:26
ogrado you have a /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file ?15:26
ogra(thats what the usepeerdns script merges into /etc/resolv.conf actually)15:27
freetownyes. and it is populated too15:28
ograhmm15:28
ogrado you have a /etc/resolv.conf.pppd-backup file ?15:28
freetownnada15:28
freetownzip, zilch15:28
freetownborken pppd?15:29
ograhmm, looks like something is wrong with the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0000usepeerdns script15:29
freetownor maybe all scripts?15:29
ogranah15:29
ograit works as far as creating the /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file apparently15:30
freetownstrange, i do not see anything in the script that shows it creating that file?15:31
freetownpppd creates that file and not the script right?15:31
ograUSEPEERDNS=1 sudo /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0000usepeerdns15:31
ograrun that15:31
ograthen check the /etc/resolv.conf file15:32
freetownchanged.15:32
freetownborken pppd.15:32
freetownit don't run no ip-up scripts15:32
ograwell, we would have tons of bugs if that were the case15:33
freetownwhich is why i am here :-D15:33
ograsomehow your USEPEERDNS variable doesnt get set15:33
freetownno resolv.conf updating and no ip-up.local execution15:34
kblinfreetown: on hardy?15:34
ograip-up.local isnt used15:34
freetownYES15:34
freetownogra, yes it is...if you create it.15:34
freetown'if [ -x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ]; then' found in ip-up15:35
ograoh, right15:35
ogradid you try to remove that ?15:35
freetownno way15:35
freetowni want that15:35
ograuepeerdns should definately suffice to update resolv.conf15:35
freetowni need to update ddns on bootup15:35
kblinah, duh, I'm just using kppp myself, which updates resolv.conf on it's own15:36
freetownogra, yes i know. but pppd is borken because it does not appear to run ip-up at all.15:36
ograkblin, right, works here as well15:36
ogra(no k here though :) )15:36
ografreetown, it does on other systems15:37
freetownogra, that is my point? it does not work on hardy >:(15:37
ogramove your ip-up.local away (and remove crap loke the resolvconf script, it does more harm than helping) and then try again15:37
ogras/loke/like/15:38
ograi.e. get into a fresh state with everything15:38
ograi suspect your ip-up.local contains something that makes it break, lets check that :)15:38
freetownogra, i doubt my ip-up.local affects anything...15:38
ograwell, easy to test15:38
freetowni will move it PAST the run-parts okay?15:38
ogramv ip-up.local ip-up.local.bak15:39
ogramake sure it doesnt get executed while testing15:39
freetownso ip-up gets a go at ip-up.d and then ip-up.local15:39

ogradoes it work with the script removed ?15:52
freetownogra, yes it does.15:55
ograso lets find out why your script breaks it then :)15:55
ogracan you paste it to a pastebin ?15:56
freetownhttp://files.cjb.net/dynip/cjb-update.sh15:56
freetowni just have a one liner that calls that script.15:57
ograheh15:57
freetownsimilar to the clampmss script which is also a one liner15:57
ograhave a look at the first line15:57
ograremove the space15:57
ogra#! /bin/bash wont work :)15:58
freetowndoh. no wonder it runs from the command line but no via pppd.15:58
freetownthnx15:58
ogra:)15:58
freetownbut i guess it is do not use network-manager and use pppoeconf for now? :-D15:59
freetownusing network-manager to setup pppoe was a complete disaster15:59
freetowni only got it working with pppoeconf15:59
ograi havent tried that every, my router doesnt have a gui (but runs hardy )16:00
freetownha! if my friend had a router, i wouldn't be here :-)16:01

LimCorehello21:10
LaserJockhi21:10
ffmSo, how long does it take for a bugcontrol app to be approved?21:11
LaserJockspecifically I think you want to become a member of the ubuntu-bugcontrol team21:11
LimCoreI noiced really high amount of bugs in 8.04, in example in compiz/3d desktop stuff.  What can we do have them fixed21:11
ffmLimCore, Write patches.21:11
LimCoreffm: probably thoes bugs are resolved by upstream21:12
LaserJockLimCore: helping to report and triage bugs certainly helps21:12
LimCoreI report them, how to "traige"? any good manuyal on this?21:12
ffm!triage | LimCore21:12
ubottuFactoid triage not found21:12
ffmLimCore, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage21:12
LimCorehow about adding a form with ubuntu version etc directyl to bug submit form?  and having part of it auto filled in and/or remembered in cookies?21:16
ffmLimCore, File a bug in launchpad itself asking for it!21:19
bdmurrayA lot of that information is automatically gathered if you use apport to report your bug about Ubuntu21:20
ffmbdmurray, hey, you're the person who admins bugcontrol, right?21:21
bdmurrayffm: that's correct21:21
ffmbdmurray, have you reviewed my application?21:21
bdmurrayffm: I'm afraid I haven't yet.  I've been busy doing verification for some stable release updates21:22
ffmbdmurray, oh, kk. that's definitely more important.21:22
ffmbdmurray, How exactly do you guys do QA on those?21:23
bdmurrayWe've some information written up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification21:24
bdmurraybut we could always use more people testing packages in -proposed and making sure they work weel21:32
bdmurrayerr, well21:32
LaserJockbdmurray: I've kinda been wondering about that21:32
bdmurrayLaserJock: which part of that?21:33
LaserJockI'm sort of in Universe SRU mode right now looking at policy and how we can improve our ability to get SRUs done quickly and efficiently21:33
ligemegetbdmurray are you here?21:33
ligemegetheh, obviously yes21:33
ligemegetbdmurray, we were speaking about the Danish translation of the graphical bootloader a couple of days ago, yes?21:33
LaserJockone of the things that's most difficult about SRUs is to get enough users to really do good testing21:34
LaserJockoften times in Universe we have niche software or bugs that have pretty complicated test cases21:34
bdmurrayI'm with you21:34
LaserJockbdmurray: it stuck me the other day that maybe we can use something like the iso QA tracker21:34
bdmurrayligemeget: that sounds a bit familiar21:34
LaserJockwhere each SRU has a page that has the test case steps and has buttons for "didn't work" or "works fine"21:35
bdmurrayso similar to mozilla.qa.ubuntu.com ?21:35
ligemegetbdmurray, oops.. I was going to ask you to upload it but I just noticed that I have upload privileges as well so I can do that myself21:36
ligemegetNevermind :)21:36
LaserJockbdmurray: basically yes21:37
LaserJockbdmurray: it would need a bit of tweaking to work with SRUs, but I wonder if that kind of thing would allow use to promot SRU testing more21:38
bdmurrayLaserJock: I think the issue is communicating with package users that there is a new package to test w/o them being subscribed to all the bug mail more or less.21:39
LaserJockyeah21:41
LaserJocktaking that testing away from bug reports21:41
LaserJocksometimes if the bug report is rather involved users may not even know exactly what to test21:41
bdmurraywell, that was the point of having a "TEST CASE" in the description21:41
LaserJockbesides the fact that they need to know that the bug report exists in the first place21:41
LaserJockyes, although I think it's still fairly easy to for some users to get confused21:42
bdmurrayit's too bad you can't subscribe to feeds of bug searches21:42
bdmurraylike all gpsbabel verification-needed bugs21:43
LaserJockhmm21:43
LaserJockwhat if we had a Main/Universe SRU feed?21:44
bdmurraythat might work, perhaps using the hardy-changes mailing list?21:44
LaserJockso when a package enters -proposed a feed item is created21:44
bdmurraybecause -proposed packges so up there21:45
bdmurrays/so/show/21:45
LaserJockthat has a link to the bug, the Test Case maybe even21:45
LaserJockwell, it would have to be *-changes but yeah21:45
bdmurrayI think having feeds like that would be a good start21:52
bdmurrayand there is a launchpad bug about feeds for searches21:59
=== asac_ is now known as asac
LaserJockwell22:09
LaserJockI was thinking of having a more SRU-specific feed22:09
LaserJockrather SRU testers-specific feed22:09
ffmOk, can someone upload bug/review #223922 to hardy-proposed?22:09
ffmOk, can someone upload/review bug #223922 to hardy-proposed?22:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 223922 in gnome-vfs "gnome-vfs hardcodes to firefox" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22392222:10
bdmurrayLaserJock: right what I was thinking was that if that bug got resolved people could subscribe to bugs tagged as verification-needed22:12
LaserJockbdmurray: yeah, that would probably be helpful22:15
LaserJockbdmurray: you got any other helpful ideas about how to get more testers? :-)22:15
bdmurrayI've one idea but I'm not sure how technically feasible it is from an archive admin point of view22:16
LaserJockoh?22:18
bdmurraysomething as simple as ack'ing tests in the changelog22:18
bdmurrayer testers!22:19
LaserJockhmm22:20
LaserJockyeah, that's tricky22:20
LaserJocksince packages are copied22:20
bdmurrayRight, that's what I'd thought22:21
LaserJockit used to be we actually reuploaded to -updates22:21
LaserJockand in that case we could do that22:21
LaserJockbut with all the fancy Soyuz goodies we don't do that anymore ;-)22:21
LimCorethe #ubuntu-bugs-announce seems to be broken.. any plans to fix :) ?22:41
