unfohi all.  Could someone running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) please volunteer to log into a text console such as tty1?  After you enter your username and password, does Ubuntu then tell you a web site you can go to for help?  If so, what is the entire line telling you how to get help?04:19
wgrantTo access official Ubuntu documentation, please visit:04:19
wgranthttp://help.ubuntu.com/04:19
unfowgrant: thank you.04:19

unfowgrant:  I use Debian.  Thanks for confirming what the Ubuntu after-login message says for me.  I have now filed bug 285734.  In the new wording I chose inside my patch, I mentioned help.ubuntu.com.04:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 285734 in base-files "[PATCH] Tell users how to undo accidental Ctrl+Alt+F1 presses in /etc/issue" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28573404:41
wgrantunfo: It makes no sense to put it in /etc/issue.04:42
unfowgrant: then where?04:43
wgrantNot there. I'm not sure.04:43
wgrantBut /etc/issue is wrong.04:43
unfowgrant: why not /etc/issue?04:43
wgrantHmmm, I guess if it is only used locally it's OK.04:44
unfowgrant: what does "used locally" mean?04:45
wgrantunfo: It wouldn't be inconceivable that /etc/issue would be used for other login means.04:45
Hobbseewgrant: ie, ssh'd in users will see it, and it would be wrong for them?04:45
wgrantNot just local ttys.04:45
Nafallounfo: that it wouldn't make sense for people ssh'ing in ;-)04:45
* Hobbsee ^5 Nafallo04:45
unfowgrant, Nafallo, ah.  But unless someone can think of a better solution, I think /etc/issue is the best place to put it.04:46
unfos/ wgrant/ Hobbsee04:46
unfowhen I type "ssh localhost", my /etc/issue is *not* shown.  All I see is the following:04:55

unfoCould someone else try ssh'ing to a Ubuntu computer by a different way and tell me if /etc/issue is shown or not?04:56
unfo*please04:56
Hobbseeer, it only is if you uncomment #Banner /etc/issue.net04:58
unfoHobbsee: so are you able to confirm that changing /etc/issue does not affect users who ssh in?04:59
Hobbseeseems so.04:59
unfoHobbsee: thanks.  may I quote you by name like this?  "Hobbsee thought that /etc/issue might be shown when people ssh in, but it is not, unless you change the 'Banner; sshd setting."05:00

G__81how do i close it11:41
G__81and whats the comment that i ve to give11:41
RainCTG__81: Status: Invalid, Comment: something like "Thanks for your bug report but this particular package is no longer in Ubuntu."11:42
RainCTG__81: btw, there are useful comment boilerplates on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses11:43
RainCTbtw, if some bugsquad guy is around, I disagree with the "About an incorrect translation" text11:44
G__81RainCT, So if you say the bug is closed you set it to invalid ?11:45
G__81RainCT, What if the bug if fixed and passed everything and what state do you set that to ?11:45
RainCT(there are many communities were people shouldn't never just go to translations.launchpad.net and do something.. beside that they can't, because it would just be marked as a suggestion)11:46
RainCTG__81: if it's fixed mark it as "Fix Released", and explain that it's fixed in Intrepid11:46
G__81Oh ok11:47
RainCTG__81: but you've to be sure that it's really fixed.. there are some bugs which can't be reproduced by everyone11:47

ByteJugglerhello all15:30
ByteJuggler:)15:30
ByteJuggleranyone alive?15:31
charlie-tca!anyone15:31
ubottuA large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?15:31
ByteJugglerhehe, ok ok didn't want to be rude... but you're right I have another question15:32
ByteJugglerfor reference, I'm testing Intrepid and I've "imported" 2 accounts from the windows partitino15:33
ByteJugglerIt's done a number of interesting things, which I'm not sure whether they qualify as bugs (and whether I should report them as seperate issues or as one)15:34
ByteJugglerand against which project (ubiquity I'd imagine)15:34
ByteJugglerfirstly, there were 2 accounts15:34
ByteJugglerbut it's not actually created a corresponding account for the 2 on ubuntu15:35
ByteJuggler(aside: the account username of one of the accounts is the same as the one I created on intrepid on installation)15:35
ByteJugglerthe installer however imported the desktop picture on the other windows account15:36
ByteJuggler(that may be because there was no desktop on the matching account)15:36
ByteJugglersecondly re the import15:36
ByteJugglerno files on the desktop was actually imported, only the files in the My Documents folder15:36
ByteJugglerthat may be ok but it might confuse users who save files (temporarily? permanently?) on their desktop15:37
ByteJugglerso, my question: which package do I report against?15:37
ByteJugglerwhich of these issues qualify as bugs and which as feature enhancements/requests15:37
ByteJugglerif need be, just tell me to go read the blueprints on launchpad15:38
ByteJuggler(I'm just also trying to avoid wasting my own time unnecesarily)15:38
charlie-tcaI think it should import files on the Desktop, but you can ask in #ubuntu+1, which are the people testing Intrepid15:39
ByteJugglerah ok, sorry so I'm in the wrong channel lol15:39
charlie-tcaI'd report it against ubuntu-migration-assistant15:39
charlie-tcaOnly wrong for part of it15:39
ByteJugglerok thanks... :)15:41
charlie-tcanp15:44
charlie-tcaByteJuggler: If you need to ask a question and a channel is busy, just ask anyway. Someone will15:50
charlie-tcausually answer. Most of us are working on stuff, and don't always see right away.15:51

ronjhello, I've filed #286127 about gnome-screensaver segfaulting. I think that's an interesting one because the bad behaviour is triggered incidentally in cases of suspend/resumes, which means badly diagnosed bugs. I found 3 such bugs that were closed because of missing info22:32
