mjbrooksCan someone point me to directions on how to install the Intrepid Kernel in Hardy? I have two systems that are experiencing random freezes and it was reported that the Intrepid kernel solves the issue, but the instructions provided  don't work06:05
Rocket2DMnmjbrooks, you can get support in #ubuntu or on ubuntuforums.org, this is not a help channel06:12
Rocket2DMngood luck06:12
mjbrooksI figured since it was a widely reported bug someone here might have a link on hand... but thanks just the same06:13
greg-gmjbrooks: don't know the bug, the instructions you read didn't mention it? figured they would06:23
mjbrooksgreg-g, it's a weird one, with no specific hardware pattern that anyone has found yet, but the Intrepid install instructions are in this comment https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/204996/comments/19206:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 204996 in linux "Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup" [High,Fix released]06:25
mjbrooksmany people report it with NVIDIA, but my friend has an ATI and another friend has SiS integrated06:26
mjbrooksthe NVIDIA runs compiz, the SiS does not, the NVIDIA is running kubuntu, the SiS ubuntu06:27
mjbrooksThankfully my laptop is unaffected ;)06:29
ruiboonhi. i was wondering for casese like bug 234282 where the problem has been solved with a newer version, should the status be fix-released or invalid?08:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 234282 in firefox "sec_error_inadequate_key_usage" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/23428208:11
persiaruiboon: Generally Fix Released.08:12
ruiboonpersia: noted. then when does it get invalid? as some cases may involve some config issues which has been reverted with a new version08:13
persiaruiboon: Bugs are invalid when It's not a bug in the package (or any other package).  If filed a bug on epiphany because it didn't connect to https://fleaseatingbeesonknees.jgj:8588/, that would be an invalid bug.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status for more.08:16
ruiboonpersia: i see. Thanks08:17
Rocket2DMnmjbrooks, if youre still around, SiS does not support Compiz at all08:35
Rocket2DMnmjbrooks, ATI restricted fglrx drivers support Compiz, but the open source "ati" drivers do not.  If your friend is using those open source drivers he can have a look here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76463308:36

askandHi, Who makes the decision on what is included in ubuntu-restricted-extras?10:19
askandAsking because of bug 21968410:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 219684 in ubuntu-restricted-extras "Please put Sun Java JRE in this package, not OpenJDK" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21968410:20
james_wMaintainer: Michael Vogt <michael.vogt@ubuntu.com>10:20
Hobbseeer, me and mvo, unless someone else does it.10:20
askandI see, thanks :) How do you do with bugs like that? Bugs that arent really a bug but a disagreement of what should be included10:21
* persia thinks that looking towards newer versions and less restricted is preferred10:26
Hobbseeaskand: now that's a good question.  i tend to do a straw poll, and go with the results of that.10:26
Hobbseeaskand: no matter whcih options you use, you'll always get it wrong, in people's opinions.10:26
askandHobbsee: Yes, that cant be easy indeed :)10:27
askandHobbsee: Well, atleast I wish to see the bug resolved. (Here is a thread about it at the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=829303 )  Among other things, openjdk makes it inpossible to legitimatize swedish people visiting the Swedish Tax Agency, https://www1.skatteverket.se/es/eskd/login.do?method=cbt10:33
Hobbseeaskand: oh, classy.10:34
Hobbseeaskand: i can only fix it for intrepid (and feel free to submit a patch)10:34
askandIntrepid is certainly good enough :)10:35
askandHobbsee: I will try o make a patch10:38
askandHow should I mark a bug that I have attached a debdiff to?11:21
askandin progress?11:21
techno_freakconfirmed?11:23
james_waskand: you should subscribe the sponsors team11:24
coNP[uni]askand: which bug?11:24

ubottuLaunchpad bug 219684 in ubuntu-restricted-extras "Please put Sun Java JRE in this package, not OpenJDK" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21968411:24
coNP[uni]I guess first it should be decided if this patch is really wanted11:27
askandcoNP[uni]: yes I think so to11:27
coNP[uni]I would recommend some sort of discussion here11:27
coNP[uni]OTOH as james_w already wrote, you should subscribe the proper sponsor team in case of a valid bug with an attached debdiff11:28
coNP[uni]but this does not seem to be the case now11:28
HobbseecoNP[uni]: it got discussed before11:28
askandcoNP[uni]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=829303  you can check here for a bit of discussion11:29
coNP[uni]Hobbsee: sorry, I was not aware of that, a pointer might be a good thing to add as a comment to the bug report11:29
askandcoNP[uni]: a link to the discussion thread?11:30
persiaaskand: I'd just attach the debdiff with a pointer to the report about the swedish tax authority.11:30
askandpersia: yes that might be good too11:31
persiaThen subscribe the sponsors: your sponsor will decide if more discussion is warranted (and I suspect she'll just upload it)11:31
askandpersia: hmm, who is the sponsor?11:33
persiaaskand: Whoever picks up the bug from the sponsor queue.  No specific individual.11:34
askandubuntu-main-sponsors ?11:34
persiaubuntu-universe-sponsors (`rmadison ubuntu-restricted-extras` shows it to be in multiverse for intrepid)11:35
askanddone, thanks for all your help :)11:36

sectechOkay I have something here that I would like an opinion on... A bug report about APIC errors on hardware... well the bug was just invalided upstream as a bios problem fixed the original reporters problem... It turns out along the way (this is not my triage) other reporters were confirming that they were having the exact same issue... They have different hardware though and now are a little annoyed that the solution doesn't work for them20:19
sectechI am about to (very politely) advise them that next time when reporting hardware issues it's best to submit there own report even if it appears that they are having the same problem, and we will figure out what is a duplicate and what isn't20:20
sectechdoes that sound right?20:20
bdmurraysectech: yes, I have an example response for that if you give me a minute20:20
sectechbdmurray,  okay great20:21
sectechI guess I get a crash course on debugging kernels because they will assume I will be triaging each of there issues since I am responding...20:22
sectechOh well, good experience I guess20:22
bdmurrayHrm, I swore I saved that.20:24
sectechIt's okay... I'll make up something.20:24
bdmurrayWell something along the lines of 'while many of you are experiencing the same symptom this bug is in fact hardware specific... please indicate your hardware in the new bug report that you file'20:25
sectechok20:25
sectechOk I need help sorting out the status on this issue... It's bug #66900.  It looks like we have at least 2 different hardware types with the same bug...  I want to invalidate the 2.6.22 assignment and wait until the original reporter replies to my message asking if it's solved for him,  does that sound right?20:32
ubottuLaunchpad bug 66900 in linux-source-2.6.22 "APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6690020:32
sectechAFAIK The original reporter was only running 2.6.1920:33
sectechThe other assignments were from others20:33
bdmurraysectech: looking now20:38
bdmurraysectech: I'd "Won't Fix" the 2.6.22 task20:40
sectechOkay20:40
sectechShould I wait until the original reporter replies to my question before invalidating the bug?20:41
bdmurrayFor the 2.6.22 task or the whole bug?20:42
sectechThe whole bug (it was dealt with upstream)20:43
sectechIt's just "linux (Ubuntu)" that has a triaged status beside it20:43
bdmurrayI'd wait until you hear back from the reporter20:43
sectecheverything else has been invalidated o20:43
sectechokay20:43

LimCorehow to post two attachemnts at once in bug comment23:56
