| hggdh | hum. Does http://answers.launchpad.net also answer questions on WIndows? | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | hggdh: What sort of question? | 00:16 |
| hggdh | on how to update a Windows program -- on Windows | 00:49 |
| Flannel | hggdh: No, that's not what answers.lp is for. You might try ##windows, or said programs website/support network/whatever | 00:50 |
| hggdh | Flannel, its not for me, I was going thru answers.lp trying to answer questions on Evo. I was just wondering if answers had opened up to any O.S. | 00:51 |
| hggdh | cuz there is a lot -- even being answered -- questions on Windows issues... | 00:52 |
| hggdh | :-) | 00:53 |
| stpere | I fixed my bug! :D | 00:54 |
| stpere | patch sent on launchpad | 00:55 |
| hggdh | hey, that was fast, stpere ;-) | 00:55 |
| stpere | it surprises me that I'm the only one affected tho | 00:55 |
| stpere | heh, it was a one liner | 00:56 |
| hggdh | perhaps others are, but have not noticed. I ran mvo's test script on my laptop, and found it was stating 0:0 updates -- and I *do* have one that I did not apply | 00:56 |
| hggdh | so I was also affected (but since I do not use update-manager, I did not even noticed | 00:57 |
| stpere | ah yes | 00:57 |
| Flannel | hggdh: Well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask | 01:04 |
| hggdh | Flannel, I agree, and this is why I asked -- should we answer non-Ubuntu questions, or redirect? | 01:16 |
| crimsun_ | Ubuntu questions. | 01:16 |
| hggdh | :-) so answers.lp is up to some cleanup... perhaps we should -- somehow -- make it more clear to both sides (those asking, and those answering) | 01:18 |
| Flannel | hggdh: I think you should ask in #ubuntu-answers | 01:18 |
| hggdh | will do | 01:18 |
| hggdh | except nobody's there | 01:19 |
| Flannel | hggdh: Well, thats always fun | 01:19 |
| hggdh | ah well. Not that I am there always, anyways. I will keep on redirecting non-Ubuntu questions until someone shoots me down | 01:20 |
| Flannel | hggdh: maybe info@launchpad.net is your only recourse. Seems odd at any rate. | 01:22 |
| Flannel | hggdh: I would think answers would be for anything hosted on LP | 01:22 |
| * Old_Soldier tends to agree with flannel. LP is not ubuntu centric | 01:23 | |
| Old_Soldier | it just seems that way because LP and bzr are the tools of choice for Ubuntu devs, since canonical owns them | 01:24 |
| hggdh | ok, let me rephrase -- if it is hosted on LP, its OK.. But -- for example -- a SELinux question on Fedora is not | 01:25 |
| hggdh | ah, blast it. Whatever. | 01:26 |
| Old_Soldier | oh yeah hggdh in that context i agree with you but then again its only my opinion and I dont have any special say :) | 01:26 |
| hggdh | Old_Soldier, neither do I | 01:28 |
| Old_Soldier | its kind of a double edged sword though. if we blast em then we are jerks and dont give back to the linux community. If we answer them we are wasting our own resources and (possibly?) violating some policy | 01:29 |
| hggdh | dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. Hum. I like it | 01:34 |

| gnomefreak | ubuntu for now | 07:25 |
| gnomefreak | its most likely gnome but ubuntu for now let desktop team decide | 07:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | you mean ubuntu-meta? | 07:26 |
| gnomefreak | Rocket2DMn: it has right package | 07:26 |
| gnomefreak | im looking at it now | 07:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | gshutdown is not correct | 07:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | i can confirm the problem, but gshutdown is nt installed, it is a package in universe | 07:27 |
| Rocket2DMn | gnomefreak, ? | 07:28 |
| gnomefreak | Rocket2DMn: hold on | 07:29 |
| gnomefreak | its set to ubuntu i will ping desktop guy this weekend or monfayish | 07:32 |
| gnomefreak | its either gnome-menu or gdm maybe even kernel. i started seeing it after .4 releease | 07:33 |
| gnomefreak | same with usplash | 07:33 |
| Rocket2DMn | why do i still have the .2 kernel | 07:34 |
| Rocket2DMn | i will mark that bug as medium importance | 07:34 |
| Rocket2DMn | could potentially be marked as high | 07:35 |
| gnomefreak | Rocket2DMn: are you on intrepid? | 07:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | this laptop is not, the one next to me is | 07:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | so yes | 07:38 |
| gnomefreak | Rocket2DMn: on intrepid pc if your kernal isnt lower than 2.6.26.4 than use apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:39 |
| gnomefreak | Rocket2DMn: after update | 07:39 |
| Rocket2DMn | doh, i knew that, thanks for refreshing my memory | 07:39 |
| gnomefreak | np | 07:39 |
| Rocket2DMn | do i need to do that every time a new alpha/beta is released? | 07:39 |
| * gnomefreak wonders where i gonna find most of these people :( | 07:39 | |
| gnomefreak | Rocket2DMn: you want to run update than upgrade. running dist-upgrade on devel cycle can be extreamly bad but also very good | 07:40 |
| gnomefreak | example if dist-upgrade wants to remove all X packages because a package is broken you know you don twant to do that | 07:41 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah i was running update/upgrade before | 07:41 |
| gnomefreak | or run update than dist-upgrade but watch it for what it wants to do | 07:41 |
| Rocket2DMn | i started this testing machine befora alpha1 was released, so its an upgrade from hardy | 07:42 |
| gnomefreak | upgrade wont grab kerneals and some others | 07:42 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, it wouldnt install all those xserver pacakges | 07:42 |
| * gnomefreak always starts the day the repos open or the next day | 07:42 | |
| Rocket2DMn | this is my first full dev cycle, i started testing dev released with hardy alpha 4 or so when i finally got my hands on the second laptop | 07:43 |

| Rocket2DMn | i think that would be acceptable Jordan_U | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | Rocket2DMn, I can't set the priority, can you? | 07:59 |
| Rocket2DMn | im going to request on the report that you add some information | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | Rocket2DMn, I am not actually hit by this ( not using Hardy at all right now ), I just saw a lot of activity about it in #ubuntu and ubuntuforums | 08:00 |
| Rocket2DMn | ok, well the users posting there need to attach the info that was requested. I marked as High. Once the info requested is added, I will mark the bug as Triaged | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | Rocket2DMn, That was requested by me and may not be as useful as I originally thought | 08:02 |
| Rocket2DMn | what? the /var/log/dist-upgrade/ stuff? | 08:03 |
