| bryce | mrooney: yeah I found an error in my build. one sec, I'll have new debs | 02:50 |
| mrooney | ok | 02:50 |
| mrooney | after restarting X, F7 was still by old one, and F8 became the new one, I had no idea it worked like that! | 02:50 |
| mrooney | *my old one | 02:50 |
| mrooney | so I got confused and restarted since at that point it seemed ambiguous which X might get what | 02:51 |
| bryce | I usuallyt restart via '/etc/init.d/gdm restart', to avoid any such messiness. But logging out and back in ought to be sufficient | 02:52 |
| bryce | ok, new debs are posted. Same links | 02:52 |
| mrooney | mm, that link doesn't exist anywhere on this system, as it turns out | 02:53 |
| mrooney | no IM or Firefox logging | 02:53 |

| ziroday | Hi, I am new to triaging and sorry If I am asking a silly question. I am looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat/+bug/276981 which is a wishlist item. How do I notify the xchat maintainers of this? | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 276981 in xchat "Update Hardy with XChat 2.8.6" [Undecided,New] | 10:44 |
| bs66 | ziro: intrepid also includes 2.8.4, but i dunno why. | 10:55 |
| ziroday | bs66: sure, but what do I mark or comment about? | 10:57 |
| ziroday | as I can't set the importance to wishlist | 10:58 |
| maco | ziroday: there isn't a specific xchat maintainer. i'll set the importance | 10:58 |
| ziroday | maco: thanks | 10:58 |
| ziroday | so I would just say something along the lines of "Thank you for filing this bug, this is a wishlist item and has been set so"? | 11:00 |
| maco | ziroday: sure | 11:00 |
| ziroday | maco: alright, and what would I set the Status? | 11:01 |
| maco | ziroday: also if you refresh, you can see that i set the title to start with [needs-packaging] and marked that in the tags. when you find one like this, that's what you do. | 11:01 |
| maco | you do those with the "update description/tags" link | 11:01 |
| ziroday | ah | 11:02 |
| ziroday | maco: I was wondering how you were correctly meant to do it | 11:02 |
| maco | im not sure about status for needs-packaging | 11:02 |
| maco | or if you see a request to add some new application | 11:02 |
| maco | that's also needs-packaging | 11:02 |
| ziroday | maco: hmm alright | 11:02 |
| maco | i suppose confirmed works for the status | 11:03 |
| ziroday | okay | 11:03 |
| maco | though you should probably check that the version they're asking about isn't already packaged in ubuntu | 11:03 |
| maco | before marking it confirmed | 11:03 |
| wgrant | maco, ziroday: needs-packaging is for new packages... | 11:03 |
| wgrant | For upgrades, there is no specific summary snippet and the tag is 'upgrade' | 11:03 |
| wgrant | Confirmed/Wishlist | 11:03 |
| maco | wgrant: oh. ok i fail. | 11:03 |
| wgrant | If it's already in Debian or there is a bug filed in Debian, add a Debian task and either link to the bug or mark it as Fix Released as appropriate. | 11:04 |
| maco | ziroday: well, the devscripts package includes one called "rmadison" and if you run "rmadison -uqa <package>" you can see what debian and ubuntu repositories have it packaged and what versions they have | 11:04 |
| ziroday | just checked and in intrepid its been updated to 2.8.6 | 11:04 |
| wgrant | !info xchat intrepid | 11:05 |
| ziroday | according to packages.ubuntu.com | 11:05 |
| ubottu | xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.6-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 315 kB, installed size 840 kB | 11:05 |
| maco | ziroday: that's considered fix released then, i believe | 11:05 |
| wgrant | ziroday: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat is the canonical reference. | 11:05 |
| wgrant | maco: Correct. | 11:05 |
| ziroday | okay thanks maco and wgrant, you're awesome | 11:05 |
| maco | wgrant: i the update tag isn't listed on the Bugs/Tags page | 11:06 |
| * ziroday continues to struggle along with his 5-a-day | 11:06 | |
| wgrant | maco: upgrade | 11:06 |
| maco | oh it's upgrade | 11:06 |
| maco | heh | 11:06 |
| maco | an annoying distinction | 11:06 |
| wgrant | Those bugs shouldn't really exist. | 11:07 |
| maco | which? | 11:07 |
| maco | update requests? | 11:07 |
| wgrant | Yes. | 11:07 |
| maco | debian sometimes gets very behind so the sync doesn't help | 11:07 |
| wgrant | Right. | 11:07 |
| maco | gsynaptics was at, i think a year or 2 old version | 11:08 |
| maco | finally a new one is in intrepid | 11:08 |
| wgrant | Right, but gsynaptics needs to die. | 11:08 |
| * wgrant will obsolete it. | 11:08 | |
| maco | but...crap someone needs to test it without having used synclient before | 11:08 |
| wgrant | Why? | 11:08 |
| maco | i patched in minspeed/maxspeed/accel a while back | 11:08 |
| maco | and i set some sane defaults | 11:08 |
| maco | only i didnt tell it to check the current setting and switch to that if one is set | 11:09 |
| maco | someone else patched it to use teh current settings for those | 11:09 |
| wgrant | Not much point in fixing things too much. | 11:09 |
| maco | only they didn't check to see what happens if there's nothing set yet. the result is the touchpad stops working completely because if nothing's set, the the min speed, max speed, and acceleration are all 0 | 11:09 |
| wgrant | Aha. | 11:10 |
| wgrant | maco: Ubuntu-specific or Debian QA-maintained packages should show up on my http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/uehs/ | 11:10 |
| wgrant | Er, if they're out of date. | 11:10 |
| maco | wgrant: hm the bug is asking for an SRU. i dont think it'll get it | 11:12 |
| wgrant | maco: I would certainly deny it. | 11:13 |
| wgrant | We don't issue SRUs just because upstream feels like it., | 11:13 |
| maco | wgrant: the one he linked, i mean. they say that since hardy's LTS it should be updated, but hardware support, sure...major bugs, yeah...."i like bleeding edge!" ?? | 11:13 |
| wgrant | maco: Right. I was speaking of that bug. | 11:13 |
| maco | im perfectly content to just backport anything i want from intrepid. crimsun taught me to use pbuilder (as dumb as that sounds) | 11:15 |
| maco | i dont expect him to ever stop teasing me about "pbuilder build" | 11:16 |
| * wgrant just runs $DEVELOPMENT_RELEASE from a couple of weeks in. | 11:16 | |
| maco | wgrant: i usually would from like alpha 3, but hardy's so nice | 11:21 |
| wgrant | Hardy is really nice, I'll give you that... | 11:22 |
| wgrant | It's rather close to perfect. | 11:22 |
| maco | yes, it is | 11:22 |
| maco | its as close to perfect as intrepid would be on my hardware | 11:23 |
| maco | probably closer given intrepid's suspend issues | 11:23 |
| wgrant | Hm? | 11:23 |
| wgrant | Ah. | 11:23 |
| wgrant | Works fine for me. | 11:23 |
| wgrant | But kernels have been pretty much flawless on my hardware since ~Feisty. | 11:23 |
| maco | i have two non-working pieces of hardware. intrepid doesn't have drivers or a new enough version of libusb for me to compile the drivers, so it has no advantage for me | 11:23 |
| maco | i hope well actually | 11:24 |
| maco | one driver requires a newer libusb. the other requires not-2.6.27 | 11:24 |
| maco | i have no idea what the "i hope" line was | 11:24 |
| maco | i think it was "i hope jaunty will" | 11:25 |
| wgrant | Ah. | 11:25 |
| wgrant | That makes a bit more sense :P | 11:25 |
| maco | sometimes i hit the scroll part of the touchpad and it scrolls up to another line and combines them in irssi | 11:26 |
| wgrant | Same. | 11:26 |
| maco | k so its not just something about how i type | 11:26 |
| maco | ah, i was saying "i hope jaunty does" and then "well actually, one requires.." | 11:38 |
| wgrant | Ahh. | 11:41 |
| maco | wgrant: i know usability bugs are usually Low, but if it's a string that isn't translatable on the installer, does that get higher priority (like medium) or stay Low? | 11:44 |
| wgrant | maco: What kind of string? | 11:49 |
| wgrant | Probably at least Medium. | 11:50 |
| maco | wgrant: "install server edition" when the cd first pops up | 11:50 |
| wgrant | Ugly. | 11:52 |
| wgrant | Medium should do. | 11:52 |
| maco | what package is that? | 11:53 |
| wgrant | I suspect gfxboot. | 11:53 |
| maco | they put gfx-boot-theme but that sounds wrong | 11:53 |
| wgrant | Hmm. | 11:53 |
| wgrant | Might be the theme. | 11:53 |
| maco | ok....theme seemed wrong | 11:53 |
| wgrant | Bug #212491 isn't dissimilar. | 11:54 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 212491 in gfxboot "Live CD, first screen, Hebrew not correctly displayed" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/212491 | 11:54 |

| wgrant | Though for different reasons. | 11:54 |
| maco | oh i never saw those lock icons before | 11:55 |
| wgrant | Looks like the theme is the right place. | 11:55 |
| wgrant | Lock icons? | 11:55 |
| maco | private bug reports | 11:55 |
| wgrant | Ah. There are a lot of them around for crashes. | 11:55 |
| maco | yeah | 11:55 |
| maco | wgrant: does apport make crashers automatically medium? | 12:00 |
| maco | wgrant: bug 276990 is a reason i can't use intrepid | 12:01 |

| wgrant | I'm not entirely sure. | 12:03 |
| wgrant | maco: You might want to attach the information RAOF requested, even though you're not the reporter. | 12:03 |
| maco | wgrant: i'm not using intrepid | 12:04 |
| maco | draft n is disabled in hardy's kernel | 12:04 |
| maco | and ive got a nice draft n router and everything | 12:04 |
| wgrant | maco: Well, we'll have a beta release in a few hours. | 12:05 |
| maco | ah ok, live cd | 12:07 |
| maco | i'm trying to figure out how to install intrepid in kvm with ubuntu-vm-builder | 12:08 |
| maco | i dont get the point of having u-v-b only be able to handle *old* versions. it's biggest area of usefulness is letting people like me test without changing their production system too much | 12:09 |
| maco | wgrant: when checking for sensitive info in a coredump, is running strings on it and going through sufficient, or is there a better way? | 12:16 |
| wgrant | maco: Doesn't apport normally remove the coredump? | 12:16 |

| weboide | Hi everyone, im starting in the bugsquad team and I wanted to know what should .debdiffs for new version packages be built into? intrepid? is there now any point in building for hardy? | 16:18 |
| bdmurray | weboide: a debdiff for a newer package than the only currently in Hardy? | 16:20 |
| bdmurray | er, Intrepid | 16:20 |
| jdong | weboide: they should go for intrepid, unless you intend on fixing the bug for hardy that qualifies with SRU guidelines | 16:20 |
| jdong | (i.e. critical bugfixes) | 16:20 |
| weboide | that's because i'm starting with doing "update requests" bugs | 16:21 |
| jdong | weboide: update requests likely won't be honored at this point in the release cycle | 16:21 |
| jdong | I'd encourage you to look at bugs that need fixing in existing versions instead | 16:21 |
| weboide | so new updates won't make it into backports even? | 16:22 |
| jdong | weboide: yes they will make it into backports once jaunty opens. | 16:22 |
| weboide | oh okay | 16:22 |
| jdong | backports doesn't accept packages newer than the latest Ubuntu development release due to obvious upgrade headaches :) | 16:22 |
| weboide | so there's no real point in doing updates, even for intrepid right now? | 16:23 |
| weboide | jdong: I should try fix bugs for hardy and intrepid instead? | 16:25 |
| jjesse | does the bug in an odler version still exist in hardy/intrepid? | 16:25 |
| jdong | weboide: at this point I'd really recommend trying to fix bugs for intrepid | 16:26 |
| jdong | that's where we need the most help | 16:26 |
| weboide | jdong: alright, that's what ill do ;) | 16:26 |
| jdong | weboide: fixing bugs for hardy and other already-released versions requires a longer process (the Stable Release Update) that's a bit more difficult to follow | 16:26 |

| maco | did i handle this right? bug 215604 There's an out-of-tree driver for the webcam listed, rejected for Intrepid. There's also a regression in 2.6.27 that makes the out-of-tree driver not work on Intrepid. i marked it triaged for the existence of an out of tree driver | 18:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 215604 in linux "Genesys Logic Webcam 05e3:0503 Not Working" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/215604 | 18:15 |
| persia | maco: I'd call it Triaged as well, but I think it's only one bug: it's not included. | 18:21 |
| persia | The fact that the out-of-tree driver isn't keeping up with the Ubuntu trunk is somewhat external, and not something we can likely address or fix. | 18:21 |
| persia | Further, while a regression may be seen, wihout some clear understanding of exactly which bit regressed (more than just "Doesn't compile againt the new kernel", it may not be worth considering it. | 18:22 |
| maco | persia: that's what i meant by "very very unlikely the kernel team's going to help him" | 18:22 |
| maco | persia: actually if you check out Nol's comment he says teh regression...or at least links to it | 18:23 |
| maco | persia: not in lp, i mean. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/951452 | 18:23 |
| maco | persia: there's a patch in there too | 18:24 |
| persia | Yeah, I'm reading that, but it appears to be for avr32 and mips. I'm not sure how that affects Ubuntu, but I could be mistaken (and don't really understand kernel) | 18:24 |
| maco | persia: well it says those are examples...i dont have intrepid to try compiling it on *grumble at ubuntu-vm-builder* | 18:26 |
| persia | Hrm. Yeah. It also looks like code-cleanup stuff, rather than deep changes. Dunno. Bug could be kernel-side (regression) or driver-side (needs porting). | 18:27 |
| === rockstar` is now known as rockstar | ||
| maco | persia: yeah it seems they did code-cleanup upstream and broke backwards compatibility | 18:29 |
| persia | I'm just not sure whether that should be fixed by undoing the code cleanup (kernel bug), or adjusting the driver to use the cleaned code (driver bug). | 18:30 |
| chrisccoulson | does anyone know who SWITALSKI ALexandre is? | 18:30 |
| persia | Since it's an out-of-Ubuntu driver (even more than just out-of-tree), the latter case may not be a bug. | 18:30 |
| Hamra | chrisccoulson: no idea, why? | 18:33 |
| chrisccoulson | they just removed a link to an upstream bug report that i'm assigned too, with no comment | 18:33 |

| maco | persia: good point | 18:36 |
| persia | asomething: What's the bug? | 18:37 |
| asomething | just a wish list item, i think it would be much easier to read if the background varied every other line | 18:38 |
| persia | Oh. Hmm. There ought be a way to report that. | 18:38 |
| asomething | not a real problem, but I keep almost posting comments on the wrong line... | 18:39 |
| persia | asomething: Why don't you report it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuwire-website/ for now. I'm sure there's a better place, but at least that way it doesn't get lost. | 18:39 |
| asomething | sounds good. thanks! | 18:39 |
| chrisccoulson | persia - that sounds like the correct place actually | 18:40 |
| * persia suspects that the code lives somewhere under some Ubuntu Quality branch, but the people who know are likely to be away now. | 18:40 | |
| persia | chrisccoulson: No, actually I *know* that's not the correct place, because I have commit access to that project, and it doesn't include the QA tools. | 18:41 |
| persia | I just forget the name of the QA tools projects, and can't be bothered to look them up with more than a cursory search right now: filing it there is basically a reminder to me to go put it in the right place when I'm more awake and less busy. | 18:41 |
| chrisccoulson | ah, ok! | 18:42 |
| asomething | I'll look around a bit more first, just thought someone here might know off hand | 18:42 |
| persia | asomething: No, really, file it there. I'm only 60% sure there is a better place: fixing it might be a matter of poking the maintainer on IRC. | 18:47 |
| persia | (something I'm happy to assign myself) | 18:47 |

| seb128_ | hey hggdh | 22:14 |
| seb128_ | hggdh: onetime bugs should probably be closed if they don't have useful informations | 22:15 |
| hggdh | hi seb128 | 22:15 |
| hggdh | I understand. I decided to tag it onetime to be able to keep an eye on it | 22:15 |
| hggdh | andre___, still, it would match: one single occurrence, nobody able to replicate, and mchra states he cannot understand how it happened | 22:16 |
| hggdh | s/andre __/and/ | 22:16 |
| hggdh | bloody autocompletion | 22:16 |
| andre___ | hmm? ah :) | 22:17 |
| hggdh | sorry andre___ | 22:17 |
| hggdh | seb128_, see above; if you think this is a worng usage of onetime, I will take it out | 22:18 |
| murdok | anyone? :/ | 22:20 |
| seb128_ | hggdh: not the wrong usage but we have so many bugs that I would not care about tagging those, I would just close if nobody else got the issue and that was a one time bug for the submitter | 22:20 |
| hggdh | seb128_, OK. I have been thinking about how difficult is to find out all the possible reasons of an INVALID closure. This was an experiment (which fired off back very fast ;-) | 22:21 |
| seb128_ | oh I don't want to stop you, I was just curious | 22:22 |
| seb128_ | I would not spend efforts on that but tags are free to use ;-) | 22:22 |
| hggdh | I wanted to be able to distinguish between real invalid, notabug, notUbuntu, onetimers, etc | 22:22 |

| bucket529 | Trying to learn: bug 267380 is a Ubuntu/New/Undecided package request, a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~adrian5632/+archive has the very package. If I were truly wise and zen, what should I do with the bug? | 22:33 |

| chrisccoulson | does anyone in here use kubuntu? | 22:36 |
| hggdh | chrisccoulson, every so often. I can re-login in KDE if needed | 22:37 |
| chrisccoulson | i was just wondering what the KDE equivalent of gnome-power-manager was? | 22:37 |
| hggdh | guidance-power-manager? | 22:38 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks. i'm slightly confused now though | 22:38 |
| hggdh | on what? | 22:38 |
| * hggdh normal status is confused | 22:39 | |
| chrisccoulson | if someone presses the standby button on their laptop, ACPID runs the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script, which is meant to bomb out if gnome-power-manager or kpowersave exists | 22:39 |
| chrisccoulson | this lets them take over the handling of the power-management policy | 22:39 |
| chrisccoulson | do i understand that correct? and kpowersave doesn't exist on a standard kubuntu install>? | 22:40 |

| Hamra | kpowersave? no it soesn't come installed by default | 22:41 |
| Hamra | doesn't * | 22:41 |
| hggdh | chrisccoulson, kpowersave was KDE 3 | 22:42 |
| chrisccoulson | so if this is the case, then does /etc/acpi/sleep.sh try to put the machine to sleep, in addition to guidance-power-manager in KDE4? the reason i ask is because i'm looking at a bug from a kubuntu user, where they get a crash on resume from suspend. he can run "pm-suspend" and everything works fine, but if he presses the standby button (which also appears to run pm-suspend), then if fails on resume | 22:42 |
| chrisccoulson | just got me thinking | 22:42 |
