fdeSeems odd that they wouldn't allow a user to set something as feature request though... then I guess that is more the point of blueprints... hmm00:00
sectechfde,  Bug-control really doesn't like people to triage there own bugs... It's best to get another fellow triager to look at it with you... I know what you mean by not being able to mark something as a feature request though,  the problem is if users were allowed to mark things as a "wishlist" there would be tons of requests.... Plus some bugs would end up as a "wish list" and some "wish list" would end up as bugs00:13
sectechWhen I report bugs I don't even attempt to change the status to confirmed or anything,  I'll just ask another triager to look at it00:14
[Relic]Is GIT the best way to get the kernel source?    coretemp.h is 0 bytes so I can't figure out which version of it was used to build the kernel, and even though lm-sensors say it added 45nm support in 2.6.20 I still get fatal errors unknown cpu type trying to run it00:14
sectechI have to say.... The bug-squad mailing list is........interesting today00:19
hggdhfde: you should not accept your own reports -- somebody else should do it00:21
sectechhggdh, I loved your reply on the mailing list...00:21
hggdhsectech: it is a pity, though. I would rather have everybody working together, instead of fighting00:22
sectechhggdh, I know... the developers seem to be missing the point of what we do... we are here to help them, not make there job harder....00:23
sectechwe save them from having to ask reporters for a lot of information....00:24
hggdhthere are some misunderstandings on both sides, and things escalated very fast. After Rienhard's response, I am out of the discussion...00:24
sectechhggdh,  I am not sure if the developers who posted to the list really reflect the entire group though...00:24
hggdhsectech, hopefully they do not, and hopefully the answer was spur of the moment, without due consideration to impact. But, as on any democracy, it is not the vote of the people, it is the vote of the active minority that counts00:26
sectechI just hope we can keep doing what we do, triage bugs... and have it still remain enjoyable and interesting...00:27
sectechI honestly do believe we are helping more then harming though... Just think of how many bugs we go through (we check for dups, we invalidate non bugs, we trouble shoot when we can)....00:29
hggdhwe will. This is all part of what, some days ago, I called growth pains, due to the huge success Ubuntu has had -- and all of it due to *all* the people that has helped.00:29
sectechgrowing pains sounds appropriate....00:30
hggdhsectech: yes. Only those that never did support professionally think bug trial is for the dummies. Unfortunately -- and I say it based on my experience on both sides of the fence -- most developers never really worked support00:31
sectechoh by the way... I have had to change some of my more active bugs back to "new"... I am in the process of moving to a new city and I wasn't expecting as much down time as I am having.00:31
hggdhsectech: you might leave them as incomplete, as long as you are not assigned to them00:31
sectechIt's only going to be a week.... I move into the new place on Sat...00:32
sectechI just didn't want the reporter to think I abandoned their issue.00:32
hggdh:-) moving pains are usually worse than growing pains...00:32
sectechTrying to get high speed out in my area was a pain... I ended up changing providers...00:33
sectechoh well..00:33
fdesectech: Sorry, I was poking around on launchpad and the mailing lists... I can understand what you mean though, and to be fair, there are other means for handling such things... it was however something I considered a bug, so I think it's in the right spot.00:47
fdenickellery: Hey, I added more info to 235103 could you review and see if it makes more sense now?00:48
[Relic]Hello :)01:25
[Relic]found out why no one can get 45nm cpu sensor read  :)01:25
[Relic]coretemp.c isn't up-to-date in kernel 2.6.24, but is in 2.6.2501:27
DeetaHiya Relic :) Nice :) another bug resolved :) (or soon to be resolved) *yay virtual bughug* :)01:28
[Relic]not sure where to post that info, nor how to fix my kernel to do to, but I figured it out so I ain't so annoyed anymore  :)01:29
DeetaOh there is not yet a bug files against this? (I assumed you were triaging a present one)01:30
Deeta*filed01:30
[Relic]lots of bugs for lm-sensors to be updated to detect the 45nms but it isn't lm-sensors that is the problem01:30
[Relic]might still have that slightly dated sensors-detect that didn't detect them but even if you installed that you can't get the core temps because it is coretemp that is the problem not lm-sensors01:31
DeetaIf it is working in linux 2.6.25 and not working and 2.6.24 then I guess the package to file it against would be linux (in ubuntu)01:32
[Relic]don't have 25 running but the code to check for the model 17 cpus is there and isn't in 2401:33
DeetaAhh ok :) but as long you are sure that it is not lmsensors fault then Linux is the way to go :D. Just be sure to include enough info :)01:37
[Relic]lmsensors new detects the intel senors, but when you try modprobe coretemp you get a fatal error unknown cpu type 1701:39
DeetaYeah sounds good :) just put all the info into a bug report :) Otherwise not too much what we could do here right now. But if it is in a bug report and has enough info then it will be triaged soon enough which means that the bug is appearing on the radar of the devs :D01:44
[Relic]can't seem to submit it there is one error, but nothing on what that error is02:16
[Relic]Deeta still awake?02:19
Deeta@Relic: Yeah :)02:41
takdirhow to join ubuntu MOTU ?05:31
RAOF!contribute05:32
ubottuTo contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate05:32
RAOFWow, that's changed.05:32
takdirthanks05:33
RAOFtakdir: But you may not actually want to join MOTU; there's more to do than packaging.05:34
RAOFIf you _do_ want to join MOTU, wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU would be an appropriate place to start.05:34
takdiri just want to learn first05:34
RAOFRight.  So, the contribute page will have a number of ways you can help.05:35
takdir:) yes, there is number way to contribute05:37

svathi. I have a bug where if I ask GNOME to swap Ctrl and CapsLock, it does the swapping but the old CapsLock key (which is now Ctrl) is still the one that controls the LED on the keyboard. Which package should I file this as a bug under?07:39

copyofjohanhi, I think I found a bug, but Im not really sure. The sition to reproduce that is: open more than one windows/apps in gnome and mximize one. So when moving the mouse-cursor to the left side and clickin the middle-mouse-button the maximized window goes to the background. Is that a bug?11:56

isforinsectsCould someone clarify something for me?  Totally probably bugreported already.  Just looking to learn a process here.14:40
isforinsects'speaker-test -tsine -f 440' doesn't work in hardy, and complains about ALSA 'unable to open slave' errors.  I'm assuming that this is the same thing as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/22167314:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 221673 in pulseaudio "ALSA failing with PulseAudio in Hardy" [Undecided,Confirmed]14:41
isforinsectsIs this correct?14:41
isforinsectsExactly what I was asking.  Thanks.14:41
persiaisforinsects: That's a bot, reacting to your URL, not a human confirming.  On the other hand, I suspect it is that bug: there's some interactions that get messy, depending on what the various clients are doing.14:43
isforinsectsStill, I was pretty sure that they're the same bug.14:44
isforinsectsI've had other problems with non-ubuntu deb's that are expecting alsa14:44
isforinsectsBut I don't really know enough to know if I can hit them with a stick hard enough to get them to work or not.14:45
isforinsectsIt hasn't been pressing enough14:45
persiaisforinsects: Mixing .deb packages from multiple sources is a recipe for pain.  Ubuntu only commits to source compatibilitiy, and there are irregularities even there.14:45
isforinsectsYes, but until (when/if) I get the hang of packaging for ubuntu myself, it's a workaround.14:46
isforinsectsIf it's not already packaged for 'buntu in someone's ppa14:47
persiaisforinsects: Do you find a lot of things you want that are not in the official repositories?  Are packaging requests open?14:50
isforinsectsI run into things from time to time. http://gnaural.sourceforge.net/download/ was the last thing I tried that didn't like pulseaudio.14:51
isforinsectsI install new things for novelty more than I should.14:52
isforinsectsAnd I never considered packaging requests.  I haven't really found anything *great* and likely of use to someone else.  But I'll keep that in mind.14:52
persiaisforinsects: We used to have gnaural, but it has some issues.  I've been missing it, and am suddenly inspired to take a look at gnaural2 to see if that helps.14:52
isforinsectsYes, hardy is the first build without it.  I assumed because of pulseaudio issues.  It too complains about alsa14:53
isforinsectsI can't think of anything else.  Xmoto maybe?  *shrug*14:55
persiaxmoto is in the repos14:56
* persia is confused14:56
isforinsects*shrug* my bad.  It's still there.14:57
