Rocket2DMnok, bug 285682 - linux, hal, or gnome-volume-manager ?00:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 285682 in linux "Ubuntu 8.10 can't mount digital camera" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28568200:30
persiaRocket2DMn, I think gnome-volume-manager is deprecated.00:34
Rocket2DMnpersia, looks like its not installed in intrepid, good call.  what replaces it?00:35
Rocket2DMni was leaning toward hal on that bug, but i dont really know enough to say for sure00:35
persiaRocket2DMn, The first error message makes me think it's gvfs-backends (because of gvgs-gphoto2-volume-monitor), but the second looks like a USB timing issue, which might point either to linux or the camera.00:36
Rocket2DMnOK, so you think I should leave it as linux? i was about to mark the bug triaged00:37
Rocket2DMnmay want to ask if he can manually mount though00:37
Rocket2DMnpersia, ^00:39
persiaYeah.  Check the manual mount.  If that doesn't work, there is a linux task (or a problem with the camera).  There may also be a gvfs-backends task00:40
azimoutquestion: every now and then i come across a source package in launchpad that, when selected, gives me an error message "u'Package fglrx-driver not published in Ubuntu'" and refuses to save00:42
azimoutfglrx-driver is not the only package like this...00:43
azimoutwhat is the reasoning behind this, and should these packages be removed from the list, or not?00:43
persiaI'd recommend filing bugs at https://launchpad.net/malone/+filebug if you find packages like that when you know they are available in a current release.00:44
persiaToday, the list of current releases includes Dapper, Gutsy, Hardy, and Intrepid.00:44
Rocket2DMnthanks persia00:45
azimoutthank you, persia01:00
greg-gbdmurray: you have a moment (3 minutes)?01:05
greg-gbdmurray: a suggested rewording/reformating of the HugDay wiki page instructions: http://pastebin.osuosl.org/2238701:09
greg-gbdmurray: just trying to make it explicit that "Verify the bug is still not fixed" is not enough to mark it off the list :)01:09

hggdhgreg-g, I think it is a good idea01:29
greg-gwith you two on board, I'll change it.01:30

greg-gthere doesn't seem to be one.01:34
hggdhwilling to create such? ;-)01:37
greg-ghggdh: I wonder how it is done now, because I assume it isn't typed out by hand each time01:37
greg-gis it part of the bug-helper-scripts or whatever it is called?01:38
greg-gI'll look into it later, gotta go afk for a bit01:42
persiaThere's definitely a script, although I forget both the name and location.01:42
charlie-tcaThis the one?01:42

charlie-tcaI like the changes01:42
hggdhcharlie-tca, I am not sure this is it, but it does look promising... thank you01:43

charlie-tcaThanks. And thanks for getting me there!01:45

persiacharlie-tca, It's not about speed, it's about continuing to contribute.  I triaged bugs for almost two years before I was granted special bug control permissions (although the team wasn't called "bugcontrol" at the time).02:23
charlie-tcaConributing when I know what to do is easy for me.02:27

hggdhyou have to be willing to learn, and willing to find yourself without knowing what to do -- and asking for help02:36
charlie-tcaSo true.02:36
hggdhthis is, in fact, what I ask from the people that work for me/with me02:36

mrooneyasac: I wonder if perhaps my signal strength bug is bug 69709 or bug 178883, it IS on an atheros card13:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 69709 in network-manager "wrong signal level with Atheros chip" [Medium,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6970913:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 178883 in network-manager "Difference in reported signal strength with network monitor applet" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17888313:31
asacmrooney: unlikely. i also see it here on rtl818713:34
asacwell unlikely == 69709 ... 178883 sounds like a generic upe13:35
asacdupe13:35
asacyes.13:35
* asac opens that bug13:35
mrooneyasac: when you see it, do you think there are multiple networks with the same SSID? Maybe that really has nothing to do with it, it just seems very correlated in my experience13:36
asacmrooney: not sure. in 178883 the reporters see differnt signal strenghts for individual APs i think?13:36
asacfor me _all_ APs have the same strength here13:36
asacbut that might be driver related :/13:36
asacmrooney: looks like it displays the "quality" and not the "signal strength" here13:37
asacmrooney: can you confirm that that matches what you see?13:37
asace.g. quality in iwlist scan == what is shown in applet drop down13:38
mrooneyasac: hard to know, there are four with the same SSID13:39
mrooneyasac: how can I get the number that the drop-down is representing?13:40
asacmrooney: err. please past your iwlist can output with all four13:43
asacpaste13:44
mrooneyasac: http://pastebin.ca/123463713:45
mrooneyapplet says 64% and the drop-down looks like, 10 or 15%13:47
asacmrooney: yeah. look at the quality values ... most likely the max from those is used13:47
asacor the minimum13:47
asacmrooney: you have 12% ... and one with 46 and one with 813:47
mrooneyyeah so it could be the 12%, but I guess that is what seems wrong, it shouldn't be connected to THAT one, right?13:48
mrooneyahh okay I am connected to the 46/7013:49
danageasac i know i'm probably getting annoying by now, but can i maybe point you to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/27819013:49
ubottuUbuntu bug 278190 in mactel-support "[ath9k] AR5418 frequently fails to connect to WEP/WPA network" [Medium,New]13:49
danagei have put http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11394 in my last comment. i think comment #19 in that bug could be the fix to the problems people are seeing (mostly on macbooks).13:50
ubottubugzilla.kernel.org bug 11394 in network-wireless "ath9k do not support wpa2" [Normal,Closed: code_fix]13:50
danagequestion: can that patch be included in intrepid?13:50
asacdanage: unlikely that we can still get that on the final CDs, but SRU after release is always an option (if the patch is good)13:52
asaclet me check13:52
danageasac: sorry i mean comment #2013:52
danageasac: thanks13:52
mrooneyasac: so 46/70=65% is exactly what I see in the applet, so that makes sense13:53
asacmrooney: ok. that means that its quality there ;)13:53
mrooneynow where that lower drop-down is coming from, must be the minimum or maybe like 12/70, the lower one13:54
asacyour signal strength output format looks wierd too (-70) ... but probably not related as it works for the main icon13:54
danagenote: part of the symptom i am getting is that transmission speed is always reported as 1MB/s in iwconfig. i will add that to my bug description13:54
mrooneybut it definitely has to be coming from a different network, it seems, do you agree?13:54
mrooneyfor the drop-down value13:55
mrooneythe fact that they are identical in Hardy make me suspect NM13:55
mrooneybut I guess I am using newer madwifi so it could be that...13:56
mrooneyasac: there's just so many different variables in Intrepid for atheros wireless :)13:58
mrooneyit is hard to directly compare anything13:58
mrooneyasac: well, I have learned a lot, I will do some more debugging, thanks! do you agree that the much lower drop-down value appears to be coming from a different network?14:09
mrooneyit looks like 10-15%, which wouldn't come from really any combination of 46 and 7014:09
mrooneyother than subtraction :)14:10
asacmrooney: not sure which one is used. might just be that the scan didnt return the 65% one when NM asked for a scan14:10
mrooneyright, okay, so filing a bug might be appropriate, for multiple SSIDs of the same name?14:12
danagethanks asac14:29

chrisccoulsonhi! is there any chance of introducing a new upstream version of a package in universe at this late stage? i'm looking at bug 287332. unfortunately, the current version of evolution-sharp doesn't work with our version of evolution-data-server, which has broken beagle17:58

james_wit depends on the seriousness of the bug, and how much the fix depends on the new upstream18:00

james_wit sounds like it would be a candidate18:01
