bdmurrayogasawara: is bug 253258 kernel related or bonobo?17:05

ubottuLaunchpad bug 88746 in linux "ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices" [High,Confirmed]17:46
bobbyhi, did some tried to use usb2.0 hdd, without getting the hdd unmount with that error, with the new ibex17:47
ogasawarabdmurray: just looked at 253258, that bonobo segfault looks suspicious but I wouldn't mind seeing the dmesg output first17:58
ogasawarabdmurray: I'll post a comment17:59
bdmurrayogasawara: that'd be in kern.log by now right?17:59
LaserJockbtw all, Ubuntu QA meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 1 minute18:00
bdmurrayogasawara: great, thanks18:00
ogasawarabdmurray: I'll assume so, but I wonder how reproducible it it18:00
bdmurrayogasawara: is there a tag for kernel config options?  like maybe kernel-config or is bitesize appropriate?18:50
ogasawarabdmurray: I can't recall having a kernel-config tag, but bitesize seems appropriate18:50
* marnanel is trying to find where to report a bug. There is a mistake in the Welsh translation in the GNOME system menu in Ubuntu, but Google codesearch tells me it only knows that string in Fedora's copy of system-config-printer. Does Ubuntu use s-c-p as a downstream version from Fedora?20:07
* marnanel possibly shouldn't be asking this here20:07
* marnanel goes to #ubuntu-desktop20:08
mcasmarnanel: perhaps this is what you looking for20:12
mcashttp://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/20:12
* marnanel nods, perhaps. I kind of wanted to tell upstream about it if it was an upstream problem, but that'll work. thanks.20:15
* greg-g wonders of marnanel only speaks in the third person20:17
* marnanel speaks in the third person in /me actions, of course20:21
marnanelotherwise I don't20:21
* greg-g things that is good, because /me actions tend to get ignored, especially when people ask questions in a /me action20:24
=== _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde
marnanelreally?  why do you believe this?20:30
greg-gbecause I don't notice them as much as I notice a standrd statment20:34
greg-g"ignored" in the "not noticed" meaning of theword20:34
greg-gso, not ignored, but not noticed :)20:34
james_wmarnanel: I don't know if you got an answer on -desktop, but s-c-p is used20:46
marnanelgreg-g: right, but that means they're not noticed *by you*.  it would be an interesting study to find whether everyone doesn't notice them.  it's possible that, for example, your client displays them in a way that makes it harder to notice them than ordinary speech and other people's don't.20:53
marnaneljames_w: I did, but thanks20:53
greg-gmarnanel: right20:53

dooleyWhen I am using the old 2.6.24 kernel I experience no problems. However, when I use the new 2.6.26 kernel in 8.10a3, my SATA disks makes strange scary noises21:00

Awsoonnhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/224589 I confirm that it is as he says, but can't understand and ill effects of this bug.22:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 224589 in apt "apt-get --only-source does not work" [Undecided,New]22:16
AwsoonnI think it should be set to 'wont fix' but I want another opinion please22:17
bdmurrayIt doesn't work the way it is supposed to right?22:18
bdmurrayThere is some mismatch between the functionality and the documentation so it is a valid bug.22:19
bdmurrayThe ill effect is that it can cause confusion22:19
mrooneydoes anyone know of a way to grab a list of all packages in main/universe (separately?)22:31
bdmurraymrooney: probably22:32
bdmurraymrooney: I'd have to look up how I did it22:34
oscar__Hi all, I'm completely new to bug triage but would like to learn and contribute. I took a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/253412. I've set the package to update-manager and think the priority should be wishlist. Can someone tell me if this is this about right?22:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 253412 in update-manager "Update Manager should allow checking for different kinds of updates at different intervals" [Undecided,New]22:34
=== mcas is now known as mcas_away
mrooneybdmurray: for EeeBotu, the only reason it has to fetch and scrape the bug page is to grab that. I would rather cache it and update nightly or weekly or something, so it only relies on the atom feed for normal operation22:37
bdmurraymrooney: how is EeeBotu getting the description etc?22:38
james_wmrooney: you can pull Sources.gz files from the archive22:38
james_wmrooney: if you want I can knock up some python to do this22:38
mrooneybdmurray: http://feeds.launchpad.net/ubuntu/latest-bugs.atom22:39
bdmurraymrooney: I'd wait for the new API it should be easy to get the component with that22:40
mrooneyjames_w: that could be great! basically I am thinking to build a dictionary like {'python-feedparser': True, 'universe-package': False}, with the values being if they are in main22:40
mrooneyoh, okay22:40
mrooneybdmurray: I guess the issue is that there are too many new APIs22:41
mrooneyand I have to rewrite how it gets stuff, so I would rather depend on something more stable22:41
bdmurrayoscar__: I'm looking at it now22:50
chrisccoulsonwhere do we assign bugs that describe problems with a particular repository? i'm looking at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mono/+bug/253441, where the reporter is saying they get a 403 error installing a mono package. i doubt the problem is actually a bug in mono (i can download and install it fine using a different mirror), but a problem with the mirror that they are using. i was going to ask the reporter to try aga22:51
ubottuLaunchpad bug 253441 in mono "[hardy] Installing mono-smcs fails" [Undecided,New]22:51
james_wmrooney: python-debian allows you easily pull out a list of packages from each of main, universe, restricted and multiverse, but it's quite slow operating on the whole Sources.gz files, so I normally do that once and write out package lists22:51
james_wmrooney: then given a package name you can look in to the lists and find it22:52
james_wmrooney: however, if your process is long running then the dictionary may be better22:52
mrooneyjames_w: yeah, that is the general approach I was thinking, updating nightly or weekly or something, whatever is appropriate22:52
james_wnightly is probably right22:52
james_wdoes it need restricted/multiverse, or are these folded in to main/universe?22:53
bdmurrayoscar__: I think the bug would be about software-properties-gtk because that is where you set how often for it to check22:53
bdmurrayoscar__: where as update-manager performs the updates22:54
oscar__bdmurray: but you can't set an option for a non-existing feature right?22:55
chrisccoulsonoscar_; The bug you're looking at should probably be assigned to both software-properties-gtk and update-notifier. It is update-notifier that is responsible for downloading package lists / downloading packages / performing unattended upgrades (depending on your configuration). update-notifier would need the functionality to be able to set individual upgrade policies for packages from *-updates and *-security, which is basically what23:07
chrisccoulsonsoftware-properties-gtk would then need changing to expose the extra settings23:07
chrisccoulsoni think that's right anyway:S23:08
bdmurrayThat sounds about right to me too23:09
chrisccoulsonyeah, i think so. i just had a look on my machine here - the upgrade policies are stored in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic, which belongs to update-notifier. i just tried adjusting the upgrade settings in software-properties-gtk, and it seems to modify that file directly23:12
mrooneyjames_w: honestly I don't understand that very well, except that bugs in launchpad seem to only be either main or universe?23:13
bdmurraythey also exist in restricted and multiverse23:14
mrooneyoooh.23:14
james_wyeah, I've not seen the bot say "multiverse" as far as I remember, but I wondered whether it might23:14

chrisccoulsonbdmurray: oscar_ seems to have signed out now, so I have re-assigned bug 253412 to the correct packages as discussed a few moments ago. would you be able to set the status to 'wishlist' (or any other member of bug-control)? Thanks23:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 253412 in update-notifier "Update Manager should allow checking for different kinds of updates at different intervals" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25341223:35
bdmurraychrisccoulson: the update-manager task could have been renamed instead of invalidated, but thanks for doing that23:36
chrisccoulsonno problem. i'll bear that in mind in future23:37
bdmurrayI've updated the bug as we discussed23:37
chrisccoulsonthanks!23:37
LimCorehi my firefox hanged in wait for FUTEX. how to get all info about that. (i.e. add stats, info from /proc/, dpkg -i uname etc)23:57
infinitycircuitLimCore, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs?action=show&redirect=DebuggingFirefox describes how what to report for a firefox bug23:58
LimCorehmm or perhaps it just overstepeed ulimit? but then it would be killed?23:59
