Gralcobdmurray who should i assign this bug too? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/24307300:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 243073 in compiz "[regression] Visual effects stopped working after last compiz+kernel update on fglrx" [Undecided,Confirmed]00:34
bdmurrayGralco: nobody - people assign bugs to themselves when they are going to work on them for the most part00:35
Gralcobdmurray then how do i know i triaged the bug correctly?00:36
bdmurrayYou could ask somebody here or stay subscribed to the bug00:37
Gralcooh okay00:37
Gralcobut there are time when i need to assign bugs to a certain team right00:38
bdmurrayYes, only for kernel bugs.00:38
Gralcookay, thank you00:38
GralcoI haven't been able to triage any bugs recently00:39
wgrantbdmurray: Wow, that's a bit of an importance definition change!02:55
wgrantI've been wondering why it wasn't like that already.02:55
persiaI like it.  In addition to reducing the requirement to gauge the general impact on the distribution, it aligns Importance with SRU guidelines.03:19
mrooneyme too, I thought that would be a nice way to do it03:39
* greg-g nods03:40
mrooneyit probably makes life for package devs much better03:42
persiaI suspect it makes life easier for everyone: package maintainers, triagers, QA people, developers, QC people, the stable release team, etc.03:45
mrooneyI don't quite get how it makes it easier for people tracking critical bugs in ubuntu03:48
mrooneythey can milestone and such but how do bugs within a milestone have importances relative to the milestone?03:48
persiaDoesn't matter.  If it's milestoned, it ought get done.  If it isn't getting done in time, the release managers have broad powers of persuasion.  If that also fails, it ought be deferred.03:49
mrooneyI see, fair enough03:51

ubottuLaunchpad bug 65995 in libvisual "Mistakes in libvisual strings" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6599514:21
james_wpschulz01: that should be confirmed, yes.14:23
pschulz01Ta14:23
Hobbseepschulz01: is that upstream still dead?14:24
pschulz01Hobbsee: Hobbsee!!14:24
Hobbseeheya!14:24
pschulz01Hobbsee: No idea14:24
pschulz01Hobbsee: I though I'd use the '5-a-day' to get back into the bug busting business.14:25
pschulz01(This is my first)14:25
Hobbseepschulz01: ahh.  i've not been using it, although i've done about 8 today.14:25
Hobbseepschulz01: just poked the debian maintainer, he says he'll do it today, and will file a sync request for it (or will poke me to file one)14:26
pschulz01Hobbsee: heh it works :-)14:26
Hobbseeit does.14:27
* Hobbsee does another one.14:29
pschulz01Hobbsee: bug #6530414:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 65304 in xfsprogs "Mistake in xfsprogs string - 'prefered'" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6530414:33
pschulz01If I find that a bug can no longer be duplicated, do I mark it as 'Fix Released'?14:42
pschulz01bug #6891414:42
ubottuLaunchpad bug 68914 in sudo "HOME (wrongly) removed from environment" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6891414:42
pschulz01(I've done that)14:42
persiapschulz01: Not every bug that cannot be reproduced is Fix Released, although some are.  Just be sure you have a test case (as you do with that bug).14:55
persiaIt's also a good idea to try to check with the version the reported used (if reported) to verify that you could reproduce the failure previously14:56
JohnPhysWill the fix for bug #55273 be released to hardy?15:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 55273 in inkscape "inkscape generates no latex formula" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/5527315:00
pschulz01Does 'Incomplete' mean something like 'More information required'?15:00
pschulz01persia: This is for another.. bug #7064815:00
pschulz01persia: bug #7064815:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 70648 in gimp "GIMP color chooser broken" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/7064815:01
persia"Incomplete" means that the bug doesn't contain sufficient informtion to either confirm or reject.  It can be interpreted as "More Information Required", but should not be assumed to mean that directly.15:01
persiaWhen a bug is set to "Incomplete", it is essential that the person adjusting it identify what information they believe would be required in order to proceed with triage.15:02
pschulz01persia: I think I've done that. (Thanks)15:03
