[00:01] <crimsun> mad_goldfish: I've found the bug in the packaging
[00:01] <crimsun> mad_goldfish: I've also informed the developer in a separate channel
[00:02] <crimsun> mad_goldfish: basically, the versioned Conflicts+Replaces do not account for the existing versions of libnspr4 and libnss3, both of which have epochs that sort higher than 4.
[00:03] <mad_goldfish> Ah, so the existing patch in -proposed is missing some information? Should I still post my output to the bug?
[00:04] <mad_goldfish> crimsun, Thanks for looking into this.
[00:04] <crimsun> you can add it if you wish, but I've already informed Alexander of the issue.
[00:04] <mad_goldfish> charlie-tca, Thanks for all the pointers
[00:04] <charlie-tca> You're welcome. Wish I could do more.
[00:05] <mad_goldfish> OK. I may as well add it, as I want to get on the cc list for that bug so I can help test the resolution
[00:11] <mad_goldfish> Right, got to reboot now I've got a new kernel. Night all.
[00:56] <kahrytan> How do I catch crash reports in firefox?
[05:46] <Hew> How do you triage backports requests? Assuming the required info is all there, should be be marked Triaged,Wishlist?
[05:46] <Hobbsee> Hew: probably make sure ubuntu-backporters is subscribed, i guess, and otherwise leave it
[05:47] <Hobbsee> the backports team probably has some documenation too
[05:47] <RAOF> It does.
[05:47] <RAOF> !backports
[05:47] <ubottu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[05:48] <Hew> Thanks for that, I had found that page already, but somehow missed the "Backport Process" section.

[09:42] <Hew> Is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance still current? I remember a mail going around the other day saying importance was now being based on impact to the package rather than to Ubuntu as a whole. eg, if a minor package is completely broken, based on the package this is high/critical, but the current guidelines would say it's medium.
[09:51] <Rocket2DMn> for bug 248016 - it is already fixed in Intrepid, how do I mark the the bug?
[09:51] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 248016 in acpid "man acpid spelling error" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/248016
[09:52] <Rocket2DMn> Do I mark it as Triaged or Confirmed and nominate for Hardy only?  Or just mark it as Fix Committed or Fix Released?
[09:58] <Hew> Rocket2DMn: if it's fixed in Intrepid, you mark it as Fix Released. Nominating is only for a SRU, which would not apply to a spelling error.
[10:00] <Rocket2DMn> ok thanks Hew , can you please explain to me what SRU stands for in this case?
[10:00] <Hew> !SRU
[10:00] <ubottu> Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[10:00] <Rocket2DMn> groovy, thanks
[10:01] <Hew> no worries, thanks for helping out :-)
[10:01] <Rocket2DMn> so we only nominate for a release when its a functionality problem?
[10:02] <Rocket2DMn> nvm, reading more

[14:16] <esminis> hi
[14:16] <esminis> anyone alive here?
[14:17] <bliZZardz> esminis : depends on how you see it :D
[14:17] <esminis> :)
[14:18] <esminis> well looks like one alive
[14:18] <esminis> maybe u know how to report to developers that patch to fix bug is submitted?
[14:51] <ApOgEE-> I can't figure out this bug... I boot up Hardy Heron liveCD on my hp nx9010 and it stuck just there... how can I trace any error? any ideas?
[14:52] <esminis> any messages?
[14:53] <esminis> btw i think you will get more help in #ubuntu channel
[15:03] <rbrunhuber> I just wanted to install hgsvn in kubuntu hardy and thought it would pull in all needed mercurial packages, but there is no dependency. Bug?
[15:05] <Hobbsee> are they listed as recommends?
[15:05] <rbrunhuber> hi hobbsee
[15:05] <Hobbsee> heya
[15:05] <rbrunhuber> Hobbsee: not even listed as recommends
[15:06] <Hobbsee> then it probably is
[15:06] <Hobbsee> !info hgsvn
[15:06] <ubottu> hgsvn (source: hgsvn): Scripts to work locally on Subversion checkouts using Mercurial. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.4-1 (hardy), package size 23 kB, installed size 236 kB
[15:06] <Hobbsee> to debian, not to us.
[15:06] <rbrunhuber> I don't know if there is a valid workflow to use hgsvn but not mercurial?
[15:07] <esminis> have u tried to install hgsvn and then run it?
[15:30] <rbrunhuber> no did not try it. But as far as i understand it is used to sync svn repositories to use them with mercurial
[15:35] <rbrunhuber> so the question is not is it possible to use hgsvn without mercurial, but why would you want to use hgsvn without mercurial.
[15:35] <rbrunhuber> so in my opinion there should be at least a recommend or suggest "dependency"
[15:47] <esminis> probably
[15:49] <esminis> but those who use ever use this package should know for real

[18:32] <emma> Hey guys
[18:33] <emma> I have a few good friends who are each experiencing the same problem as in this bug -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/228624
[18:33] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 228624 in linux "DVD writer not working since hardy upgrade" [Undecided,New]
[18:34] <emma> This seems like a very significant problem but they are expressing concern that it has not been promoted. I am seeing circumstantial evidence that it is causing people to migrate away from Ubuntu. I wanted to post it here in the hopes that someone's expertise could get it the attention that it may deserve.
