[06:09] <Hew> bug #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?

[14:00] <james_w> philsf: you can only do that once it has been approved
[14:00] <james_w> nominating 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.
[14:01] <philsf> oh.. you sound as if I shouldn't have done it..
[14:01] <philsf> sorry for that
[14:02]  * philsf feels like a kid that dropped something
[14:02] <seb128> philsf: I doubt it'll be accepted, that's not a trivial change and the comments indicate it's not perfect, not something for stable updates
[14:03] <james_w> philsf: I didn't mean that, sorry if I gave that impression.
[14:04] <philsf> seb128: 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] <seb128> philsf: well if there is a solid patch available I'm not against it but so far nobody suggested one
[14:05] <philsf> of course one could use one of the plethora other choices for pdf readers, but in gnome, they are all slower than evince
[14:05] <philsf> seb128: I see. thanks for your comments, though. can I revert the improper nomination?
[14:06] <seb128> not sure, I've the privileges to accept or refuse those so I don't know what interface the people who don't get
[14:06] <philsf> james_w: no worries. I should have read.... something... before messing with bug statuses
[14:06] <seb128> but just wait for somebody to accept or reject it that's no issue
[14:06] <philsf> maybe this should be accepted, and turned hardy state to invalid?
[14:08] <philsf> I 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 0.6.4

[15:59] <persia> jonpackard: tomboy is a bash script.  You might find more information there about how to get a trace.

[16:10] <seb128> the current handling of mono crashes is not good
[16:10] <seb128> getting a gdb stacktrace of the mono interpreter is usually not that useful
[16:11] <seb128> would be nice if somebody could write special handling for mono crash, similar to what is done for python crashes
[16:12] <seb128> also GNOME crashing is likely either a gnome-session or xorg bug
[16:13] <NCommander> seb128, well, right now, a big mono fix for a lot of the random segfaults went in
[16:13] <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"

[16:15] <NCommander> yeah
[16:15] <NCommander> I want to backport to Hardy
[16:15] <NCommander> But I haven't been able to find or write a test case that proves its affected beside having the same braindead code fix

[18:56] <bdmurray> mouz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches
[18:56] <persia> mouz: OK.  You'll notice that the bug has two tasks: one for Ubuntu, and one for Upstream.
[18:56] <persia> If 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.
[18:57] <mouz> persia: yes (bdmurray i will read it later thanks)
[18:57] <mouz> yes
[18:58] <mouz> persia can i trust that small icon left of the first row is saying 'this is an upstream task'?
[18:59] <persia> mouz: 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.
[19:01] <mouz> persia: persia: ok. so just past the URL after 'URL:'?
[19:01] <mouz> s/past/paste/
[19:02] <persia> mouz: I believe that should work.  You might also have to adjust the radio button.
[19:02] <persia> Check the status of the main page and make sure there is a link under "Assigned" to verify.
[19:02] <mouz> persia: yes. thanks. it looks right now.
[19:04] <mouz> still i do not really understand what is a project, what is a distribution...
[19:05] <persia> mouz: A project is a collection of code creating one or more associated applications that work in a variety of environments.
[19:05] <persia> Examples include ardour, open office, mozilla, tkgate, etc.
[19:05] <persia> A distribution is a collection of projects and glue to build a complete operating environment for a computer.
[19:06] <persia> When 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.
[19:09] <mouz> persia: What would be a reason to ever add a distrotask for another distribution then Ubuntu (if there is any)?
[19:11] <persia> mouz: 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.
[19:12] <persia> Remember, while LP is often used for Ubuntu, it is also used for other projects and distributions.
[19:14] <mouz> Ok I understand now. Thanks persia. bdmurray thanks a lot for the link, I will read it now.
