Hewbug #224366 is a dupe but I can't find the original bug. It's that issue where an app can't access the sound device because it's in use by pulseaudio. eg, flash videos don't play while rhythmbox does. Surely it's a big bug somewhere; can anyone find it?06:09

Rocket2DMnHew, i think youre right, but i dont think its with flashplugin-nonfree specifically06:12
Hewyea I think it was pulseaudio06:12

james_wphilsf: you can only do that once it has been approved14:00
james_wnominating means that it shows up on a list for consideration, from which it will be either accepted or declined. If it is accepted then you can change the status in each release.14:00
philsfoh.. you sound as if I shouldn't have done it..14:01
philsfsorry for that14:01
* philsf feels like a kid that dropped something14:02
seb128philsf: I doubt it'll be accepted, that's not a trivial change and the comments indicate it's not perfect, not something for stable updates14:02
james_wphilsf: I didn't mean that, sorry if I gave that impression.14:03
philsfseb128: I see. I still think it's important that this is fixed, especially in an LTS release. the LTS should be the one used in academic workplaces, but this is really a stopper for newbies.14:04
seb128philsf: well if there is a solid patch available I'm not against it but so far nobody suggested one14:04
philsfof course one could use one of the plethora other choices for pdf readers, but in gnome, they are all slower than evince14:05
philsfseb128: I see. thanks for your comments, though. can I revert the improper nomination?14:05
seb128not sure, I've the privileges to accept or refuse those so I don't know what interface the people who don't get14:06
philsfjames_w: no worries. I should have read.... something... before messing with bug statuses14:06
seb128but just wait for somebody to accept or reject it that's no issue14:06
philsfmaybe this should be accepted, and turned hardy state to invalid?14:06
philsfI just posted the informative last post to upstream, so they see the new screenshot, and know about the still wrong "fi" string problem. maybe if there's a fix, someone can backport the patch to poppler 0.6.414:08
philsfk, thanks sebastian14:08
perezaHi. that is a problem for new peple when working with bugs. Sometime I say to myself if it is ok to change thing in the bug report14:09
seb128philsf: did you try in intrepid using 0.8? does it work correctly on this version?14:09
philsfseb128 I can't install intrepid right now, and have no time to learn about VMs, sorry14:10
philsfnot that I wouldnt like it14:10
seb128maybe you can download a liveCD and give it a try?14:10
seb128no need to install14:10
philsfseb128: how could I forget that...14:10
seb128philsf: see, there is always a solution ;-)14:11
philsfpereza: yeah, maybe lp could have some help links or ballons14:12
philsfnew alpha tomorrow? I'll do it then14:12
perezaquestion here, bug 224589, do we need to know which version of ubuntu he/she is running?14:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 224589 in apt "apt-get --only-source does not work" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22458914:14
perezaphilsf, any ideas?14:19
philsfpereza: can you reproduce it?14:27
philsfpereza: I always assume bug reporters are using the latest release at the time of the posting. people who are lazy enough to upgrade, aren't exactly the most common bug reporters14:30
philsfnevertheless if you(someone) can reproduce it in hardy, that's what counts14:30

jonpackardI'm trying to run a backtrace using gdb for a problem in Tomboy.. I'm getting an error about /usr/bin/tomboy not being an executable.. could anybody please help me with this please? See http://pastebin.com/f64be32fd for full output. Thanks!15:56
persiajonpackard: tomboy is a bash script.  You might find more information there about how to get a trace.15:59
persiaThat said, you may do just as well to turn on apport and report it that way (see https:/wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for instructions on activating apport16:00
jonpackardpersia: thanks! I'm actually confirming bug 250502 and wanted to include a backtrace for more info16:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 250502 in tomboy "Tomboy crashes when creating a new notebook" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25050216:01
persiajonpackard: If you can discover a good generic way to do it, it might be good to add some information on how to debug Mono apps.  As much as I like backtraces, I'm not sure how to get a good one for those.16:03
seb128the current handling of mono crashes is not good16:10
seb128getting a gdb stacktrace of the mono interpreter is usually not that useful16:10
seb128would be nice if somebody could write special handling for mono crash, similar to what is done for python crashes16:11
seb128also GNOME crashing is likely either a gnome-session or xorg bug16:12
NCommanderseb128, well, right now, a big mono fix for a lot of the random segfaults went in16:13
NCommander(it was caused by some "genius" commenting out an entire block of code; I rewrote the patch to do it right, and it went upstream"16:13
seb128ah, good to know16:13
NCommanderyeah16:15
NCommanderI want to backport to Hardy16:15
NCommanderBut I haven't been able to find or write a test case that proves its affected beside having the same braindead code fix16:15
jonpackardThanks for the help. Which package provides Mono? I want to include that when I confirm the bug about Tomboy.16:15

mouzI forwarded a bug upstream, but now i'm not sure how to link to the remote bug. I'm confused by the existence of tasks already and also I'm not sure what is a 'project' and what is a 'distribution' in this context. Would like some help :) bug 239926 Thanks.18:54

ubottuMozilla bug 447646 in History "middle button and hold on history to open new tab" [Enhancement,Unconfirmed]18:56
bdmurraymouz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches18:56
persiamouz: OK.  You'll notice that the bug has two tasks: one for Ubuntu, and one for Upstream.18:56
persiaIf you click the little arrow to the left of the Upstream task (the top one), it will provide an entry box for you to put that URL.18:56
mouzpersia: yes (bdmurray i will read it later thanks)18:57
mouzyes18:57
mouzpersia can i trust that small icon left of the first row is saying 'this is an upstream task'?18:58
persiamouz: Not quite.  The distribution tasks are of the form "package (distribution)".  The project tasks are of the form "project name".  Ideally, each project is upstream, although there are a couple exceptions remaining to be cleaned up.18:59
mouzpersia: persia: ok. so just past the URL after 'URL:'?19:01
mouzs/past/paste/19:01
persiamouz: I believe that should work.  You might also have to adjust the radio button.19:02
persiaCheck the status of the main page and make sure there is a link under "Assigned" to verify.19:02
mouzpersia: yes. thanks. it looks right now.19:02
mouzstill i do not really understand what is a project, what is a distribution...19:04
persiamouz: A project is a collection of code creating one or more associated applications that work in a variety of environments.19:05
persiaExamples include ardour, open office, mozilla, tkgate, etc.19:05
persiaA distribution is a collection of projects and glue to build a complete operating environment for a computer.19:05
persiaWhen tracking bugs, we distinguish between the status in Ubuntu (the distribution) and the status upstream (the project) as something may be fixed in one place first, and someone may need to manually migrate the fix into the other.19:06
mouzpersia: What would be a reason to ever add a distrotask for another distribution then Ubuntu (if there is any)?19:09
persiamouz: Well, it might be that Ubuntu wants to track something in an upstream distribution (e.g. Debian), or a downstream distribution (e.g. Baltix) wants to track Ubuntu.19:11
persiaRemember, while LP is often used for Ubuntu, it is also used for other projects and distributions.19:12
mouzOk I understand now. Thanks persia. bdmurray thanks a lot for the link, I will read it now.19:14
thekornbdmurray, I'm glad you like the gm script,19:26
thekornmy next plan is to add some black/whitelist to this script19:27
