| franswa99 | Hi there ! I'd like to join the ubuntu bugsquad team... the only question is... how do I get started ? | 14:24 |
| franswa99 | I just opened an account on launchpad | 14:25 |
| Elbrus | I am trying to backtrace plasma, but after installing kdebase-workspace-dbg the gdb log says "The program has no registers now." Am I missing something? | 14:25 |
| franswa99 | read the wiki | 14:25 |
| Elbrus | franswa99: great | 14:25 |
| franswa99 | I see that one of the tasks is "assigning packages" but I'm not so sure to know how to do that | 14:25 |
| franswa99 | I mean: I can see the bugs that have no package | 14:26 |
| franswa99 | but I'm not sure in which package they belong | 14:26 |
| Elbrus | franswa99: AFAICT you read through a bug report, possibly ask questions to the reporter, and decide which package the bug belongs to | 14:26 |
| Elbrus | that's why it sometimes takes time: communicate with the reporter | 14:27 |
| Elbrus | do google | 14:27 |
| Elbrus | etc. | 14:27 |
| Elbrus | and of course, you can always ask help here. | 14:27 |
| Elbrus | (as I just did at the beginning of your questions...) | 14:28 |
| franswa99 | ok | 14:28 |
| franswa99 | and is there a place where I can see the list of possible packages | 14:28 |
| franswa99 | to which a bug can be assigned? | 14:29 |
| Elbrus | launchpad has a list | 14:29 |
| * Elbrus is looking | 14:29 | |
| Elbrus | well, what I was looking for is different, but basically ALL ubuntu packages are candidates. | 14:31 |
| franswa99 | and how do you ask questions to the reporter in launchpad? | 14:32 |
| Elbrus | franswa99: by the way, don't worry if it takes some time to get a feeling for it | 14:32 |
| franswa99 | ok ! | 14:32 |
| Elbrus | just add a comment | 14:32 |
| franswa99 | ok thanks | 14:32 |
| Elbrus | if you ask for more information, you usually can set the status to incomplete | 14:33 |
| angusthefuzz | franswa99: I would read the articles found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/KnowledgeBase | 14:33 |
| angusthefuzz | franswa99: specifically see the canned responses or "standard replies" section | 14:34 |
| franswa99 | great thanks | 14:34 |
| franswa99 | didn# | 14:34 |
| franswa99 | didn't read those ones | 14:34 |
| angusthefuzz | franswa99: there is also a great youtube video tutorial on assigning packages, you will get the hang of it | 14:34 |
| Elbrus | angusthefuzz: would you have an url??? | 14:35 |
| angusthefuzz | franswa99: if you have trouble, just ask questions here, someone should be around to give you some mentoring | 14:35 |
| * Elbrus would like to see it too | 14:35 | |
| angusthefuzz | one second, i will find ity | 14:35 |
| Elbrus | :) [08:27] <Elbrus> and of course, you can always ask help here. | 14:36 |
| angusthefuzz | http://videos.ubuntu.com/qa/assigning-packages-to-bugs.ogg | 14:36 |

| angusthefuzz | (okay I lied, it wasnt youtube, but it is very helpful) | 14:36 |
| franswa99 | thanks | 14:36 |
| angusthefuzz | thank you both for helping | 14:37 |

| lfaraone | Hey world. | 16:38 |
| lfaraone | Where would a GNOME d-n-d bug (that dragging from the run dialog / a launcher to the "sessions" window should add that launcher as a startup item) go? (it affects 3 different applications) | 16:39 |
| Elbrus | lfaraone: add it to all three then? (via also affects) | 16:41 |
| Elbrus | can you give bug number? | 16:41 |
| lfaraone | Elbrus: doens't have one yet. | 16:41 |
| Elbrus | ok | 16:41 |
| lfaraone | Elbrus: I'm going to report it ina minute. | 16:41 |
| Elbrus | you can make in Launchpad that the bug affects multiple packages | 16:42 |
| Elbrus | s/make/mark | 16:42 |
| mrooney | Is there an easy way to tell what pulled in a certain package, ie what depended/recommended it such that it is now installed? | 16:43 |
| lfaraone | mrooney: rdepends. | 16:44 |
| mrooney | lfaraone: thanks! | 16:44 |
| lfaraone | mrooney: ie "$ apt-cache rdepends bash | 16:44 |
| lfaraone | mrooney: No problem. | 16:44 |
| angusthefuzz | lfaraone: it was my understand that drag-n-drop bugs should be filed under the drop application, unless there is so reason to believe the drag'd information is incorrect | 16:45 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: Ah, OK. | 16:45 |
| * lfaraone goes on a bug-reporting binge. | 16:46 | |
| lfaraone | Ok, can someone confirm 292684 for me? (try to drag a launcher into gnome-session-properties) Oh, and it's wishlist, right? (I don't want to set my own bug priority) | 16:51 |
| lfaraone | * bug 292684 | 16:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 292684 in gnome-session "Launcher items cannot be dragged into gnome-session-properties" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/292684 | 16:52 |
| Elbrus | lfaraone: can you be more verbosive? I don't know now what to do to reproduce this bug (sorry, I don't understand the text) | 17:02 |
| lfaraone | Elbrus: ah, sorry. | 17:02 |
| lfaraone | Elbrus: Ok, there are launchers on your desktop, right? (links to applications) | 17:03 |
| Elbrus | I don't have any on my desktop. | 17:03 |
| lfaraone | Elbrus: Ok, create a launcher by doing "alt + f2" , typing the app name, and dragging the icon to the desktop | 17:04 |
| angusthefuzz | lfaraone: i am able to drag from the panel to sessions without a problem, is that not specific enough? | 17:04 |
| lfaraone | Elbrus: in this case, we'll make a link to "gnome-terminal" | 17:04 |
| * Elbrus will do | 17:04 | |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: ah... odd... | 17:04 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: oh. oops. | 17:04 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: odd, that didn't work last time I tried it. | 17:04 |
| * lfaraone marks bug as invald. | 17:05 | |
| angusthefuzz | heh | 17:05 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: while you're there, are there a lot of GNOME entries with "no description"? | 17:05 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: (that's another bug (a usability/"noob" bug) I'm gonna report) | 17:05 |
| angusthefuzz | yes lfaraone there are a lot with no description | 17:06 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: do you agree that that is a usability problem? (people should be able to understand why things do what they do on startup...) | 17:07 |
| angusthefuzz | lfaraone: I agree | 17:07 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: Ok. /me reportbugs | 17:07 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: That'd be one report with multiple "affects", right? | 17:08 |
| angusthefuzz | correct | 17:08 |
| angusthefuzz | actually, i am not sure where the descriptions are derived from | 17:08 |
| lfaraone | angusthefuzz: I'll ask in -motu | 17:10 |
| angusthefuzz | sounds like a plan | 17:10 |
| mohbana | hi, who is is responsible for the emacs 2.3 on ubuntu. i'd like to point out that there isn't even a link to start it | 17:37 |
| mohbana | it's the ver. of emacs with AA fonts | 17:37 |
| mohbana | is anyone around? | 17:44 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 292362 in ubuntu "moon is flat (according to the KDE4 logout dialog)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/292362 | 18:25 |
| greg-g | ummm, ask them to produce a mockup of what would make it look spherical instead of "flat" because I can't see this as an issue at all, I think we all know what we get when we represent a 3d object in 2d space. | 18:28 |
| angusthefuzz | i didnt know if it should be invalidated outright because monitors are 2d | 18:28 |
| angusthefuzz | but okay, I like your method better | 18:28 |
| greg-g | angusthefuzz: even in the most absurb of bugs it is best to give them a chance to fully explain themselves. | 18:31 |
| angusthefuzz | greg-g: that is good to keep in mind, thanks | 18:31 |
| angusthefuzz | sometimes its hard not to be snippy | 18:31 |
| angusthefuzz | since there are people with real problems out there | 18:31 |

| yaxu | hi, i'm getting a problem with the shutdown dialog in intrepid ibex, where both hibernate and help are assigned the same shortkey (h) | 18:34 |
| greg-g | I've caught myself before doing it a couple of times, so just wait, you'll get there soon enough if you look at a sufficiently large number of bugs ;) | 18:34 |
| yaxu | also the shutdown window isn't in focus when i press the power button | 18:35 |
| yaxu | what app do i file that bug on? | 18:35 |
| greg-g | yaxu: I see "Shut Down" as having the S underlined | 18:35 |
| yaxu | greg-g: how about hibernate | 18:36 |
| greg-g | I'm not going to press "h" right now because I am in the middle of things, but can you take a screenshot of what you see? | 18:36 |
| yaxu | sure | 18:36 |
| greg-g | yaxu: hibernate has the "H" underlined | 18:36 |
| yaxu | greg-g: and help? | 18:36 |
| yaxu | i mean the help button | 18:37 |
| yaxu | greg-g: http://yaxu.org/hibernate.png | 18:38 |
| yaxu | greg-g: for me both hibernate and help have H underlined, so alt-h do nothing | 18:38 |
| greg-g | oh, I misunderstood you | 18:39 |
| yaxu | no need to try to press alt-h, you can see both with h underlined as you say | 18:39 |
| greg-g | sorry about that | 18:39 |
| yaxu | no prob | 18:39 |
| greg-g | and then I had the dialog open too long and it just shutdown my computer, hence the dealy | 18:39 |
| yaxu | :( | 18:39 |
| greg-g | delay | 18:39 |
| yaxu | sorry about that | 18:40 |
| yaxu | hope you didn't lose any important state | 18:40 |
| greg-g | yaxu: so it does nothing for you when you press alt+h? | 18:40 |
| yaxu | i'll double check | 18:40 |
| greg-g | yaxu: nope, I'm good, thanks though | 18:40 |
| yaxu | ok it does _something_ | 18:40 |
| yaxu | it cycles between the two buttons | 18:41 |
| yaxu | whereas if I did alt-s it shuts down right away | 18:41 |
| yaxu | and in the previous ubuntu alt-h hibernated straight away | 18:41 |
| yaxu | Well that confirms it so i'll definitely report it, thanks | 18:46 |
| yaxu | seems i don't need to specify a particular package | 18:46 |
| yaxu | i'll stick a warning about the timeout on the report too! | 18:47 |
| greg-g | yaxu: sorry, I was just trying to find the right package, and it is "gnome-session" | 18:47 |

| greg-g | yaxu: what is the bug number? | 18:56 |
