james_wwas there ever a process defined for what to do for bug reports about problems introduced by a package in -proposed?00:09

Hobbsee!sru00:12
ubottuStable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates00:12
greg-gjames_w: I assume that if the problem was not present before the -proposed package, it would be best to report that issue on the bug that is being fixed by that proposed package00:12
greg-gor read that00:12
Hobbseejames_w: point 6 on procedure there.00:12
greg-gah, what Hobbsee said.00:13
=== asac_ is now known as asac
james_wI believe that is if it makes it to -updates isn't it?00:13
Hobbseetook me a while to find out why i was getting random pings for SRU stuff...00:13
Hobbseehmmm, don't think so?00:13
james_wthe whole point of -proposed is testing, so I don't want to ring alarm bells00:14
Hobbseeeither wya, i *do* suggest you wait a few hours, as i'd be the only person on that list around right now00:14
james_wthere's no need to pretend the world is on fire if a user enables a testing repository and then hits a bug because of it00:14
Hobbseethat's true.  I think the idea is that definetly some people know about a regression, before it goes to -updates00:15
Hobbsee(safe than sorry principle, and such)00:15
james_wHobbsee, Hobbsee, Hobbsee: regression, regression, regression!!! :-)00:15
Hobbseejames_w: well, finding people to reproduce it on amd64 might be a good idea first00:16
james_wyeah, I've alerted the person that did the upload, so we should be able to get a fix00:17
Hobbseecool00:17
Hobbseeooh, updates.  helps if i turn on -updates and -proposed and such.00:17
james_wI just remember a discussion about a proposed process for this, and so I wondered if it actually went anywhere00:18
james_wand we have the regression-* tags now, perhaps we should have a regression-proposed00:18
james_wbut finding the SRU bug and dropping a note is the best thing to do I think00:18
bdmurrayjames_w: there is also proposed-pkg tag00:19
Hobbseeahh00:19
bdmurrayYes, updating the SRU bug is the best idea.00:19
Hobbseei'm not overly sure, tbh - i don't follow SRU'y stuff.00:19
Hobbseebtu that would be my guess, too00:19
james_wbdmurray: ah, would it make sense to align that with the regression-* tags, or at least ask sbeattie to track it?00:19
bdmurraywell, proposed-pkg is really for apport-crash reports00:20
bdmurraysee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for more info about it00:23
bdmurrayWe could have people tag bug reports regression-proposed but really what should happen is commenting on the SRU bug because, and referencing a new bug report, because that is what is used for moving the package to -updates.00:25
james_wah, ok00:25
james_wyeah00:25
bdmurrayIf somebody is running -proposed they should be able to find the SRU bug.00:25
bdmurrayIn theory at least. ;-)00:26
sbeattieheh.00:26
Hobbseein theory.  THat actually requires thought.00:26
bdmurraysbeattie: maybe regression-proposed would be a good backup system though?00:31
sbeattiebdmurray: I'd be okay with that; should a) proposed-pkg remain separate and if so, should I track it as well?00:33
james_wyou could write a but that adds links to the SRU bug adding links to any bugs that have regression-proposed attached00:34
james_w(sort of)00:34
bdmurrayHmm, there are 6 bugs tagged proposed-pkg already and the Bugs/Tags package has it being used more generally00:35
bdmurrayI think using regression-proposed makes the most sense as it fits the scheme and moving / reviewing those six bugs isn't a big deal00:37
james_wdoes anyone have amd64 hardware to test this bug on for wgrant?00:39
bdmurrayyeah00:39
hggdhjames_w, what would you like me to test?00:47

lirelhi, some time ago someone from in here reopened #287198 for me becuase the claimed duplicate could not be found, i'd like to reopen it again, because it was closed again without indicating the dublicate, is this okay to do, or will i be considered as spammer if i do this?01:14

james_wI can't find it right now, and GNOME's bugzilla isn't playing ball, sorry01:26
lirelsorry, i'm no native english speaker, i assume "not playing ball" means st like "is not working" :)  if this is the case i will have a look for this particular bug in gnome's bugzilla later and will reopen it if i don't find anything01:30
james_wlirel: please don't re-open it01:31
james_wlirel: if Pedro says it's a known bug, then it is, and having another bug open stating the same thing isn't really going to help anything01:31
james_wI know it sucks01:32
lifelesslirel: 'playing ball' == 'cooperating'01:34
lirelokay, i'm not catting binary files on an everyday basis ;)01:37
lifelessjames_w: I would say having it open is reasonable while the presumed dup cannot be found01:42
james_wlifeless: perhaps, but if there is a dupe then this one will just be ignored, so there's little use to it01:43
james_wand I trust Pedro01:43
lireljames_w: that's what i wanted to hear, i just don't want to get this one "lost"01:44
james_wlirel: I bet we've all hit that bug :-)01:44
lirelyeah, but who filed it?01:45
lifelessjames_w: and if there isn't a dup (because 'everyone knows the problem') then it isn't being tracked01:45
lifelessjames_w: I don't see this as a trust issue; its simple housekeeping :- either there is a dup, or there isn't, and at the moment there is no record of the dup01:46
james_wok, we disagree01:46
james_wnow I must sleep01:47
lireln801:48
lifelesslirel: I would say, look thouroughly through gnome's bugzilla bug database01:48
lifelesslirel: if you can't find the issue there, file a new bug upstream01:48

mr-russHi all, I would like some launchpad bug management assistance.08:06
mr-russbug #219274 appears to be marked private.  It's a duplicate of #134207.  Are all subscriber/reports of 219274 now attached to the 134207 bug?08:07
ubottuBug 219274 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/219274 is private08:07
mr-russIf so, all reporters of duplicates can see my replies.  Also can you get any info about private bugs?  eg reporter and time reported?  As the other bugs are quite old and less likely to have active followup.08:09

mr-russnow to prove my hunch that all these bugs are really #6314108:16
mr-russthanks all for your fast response.  It's always a good experience visiting ubuntu-bugs.08:18
mr-russnext question :)   When I believe a bug belongs in another package, what's the best procedure?   The crash for the bugs mentioned earlier appears in PHP, but the root cause is a problem with PostgreSQL.  How should the classification be handled?08:51
mr-russor libpq to be exact.08:51
persiamr-russ, Just adjust the package.  It ought be an option as if you were adjusting the status.08:58
=== LucidFox_TDK is now known as LucidFox
mr-russokay, I'm just concerned with the existing number of dups that it will get reported again.  I suppose I just monitor it and add new dups.09:05
persiaWell, you could ave two tasks, one for the frontend, and one for the DB, so people can find it more easily.  Bit annoying to have to close the task manually, but might save on dup chasing.09:07
seb128persia: and that mail spam the people who are subscribed to the other task too09:19
mr-russI think I just mailspamed people as I don't know how to bulk move duplicates to a new parent.09:21
Hobbseemr-russ: there's no bulk moving of duplicates09:22
Hobbseeyou have to move them all individually.09:23
Hobbseeso you probably did mailspam.  However,if you did it quick enough, launchpad tends to cache mails.09:23
mr-russah.09:23
mr-russIs somebody willing to mark bug #63141 as triaged?  It's as good of a report as it's ever going to get :)09:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 63141 in php5 "PHP (cli) exits with a segfault if pg_connect() called." [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6314109:25
mr-russCan I subscribe to receive new bugs from just one package?09:27
azimoutmr-russ: yes, you can09:28
azimoutgo to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xyz (replace xyz with the package name)09:29
azimoutand click on "subscribe to bug mail"09:29
azimoutis this what you wanted?09:29
mr-russdoes that send me all bug mail for that package?  or just new bug reports?09:29
persiaShould send you all bug mail for the package.09:30
mr-russYeah, I was hoping for just new reports.  I suspect mail from 1 package is not huge though.09:30
persiaDepends on the package, but if it's huge, you'd be able to guess before you subscribe :)09:31
mr-russit's php,  I'm not willing to subscribe to the mozilla/firefox package.  The thought is scary!09:31
persiaseb128, For this use case, don't they get it anyway because the bugs are being filed against the package that crashes, rather than the package with the bug?09:32
seb128persia: I don't know about this case and didn't follow the discussion, that's just a reminder that extra tasks means extra people mailed for every comment09:32
persiamr-russ, Thinking about it more: there's a valid case for two tasks : pg shouldn't crash, but php should trap that sanely.09:33
persiaseb128, Yeah.  I agree that most of the time it's not a good idea.09:33
mr-russIt's hard because pg adds an SSL callback, and when curl closes SSL the pg callback is called, however since the library is unloaded, the callback segfaults.09:34
mr-russso is it curl's fault, or php's fault for not trapping the problem with bad callbacks.  or maybe it's openssl's :)09:34
mr-russI know the fix needs to come from postgresql.  but it's a hard bug.  It took me a full day to nail it down.09:34
persiamr-russ, I'm a big believer in defensive coding.  Library authors are all insane (a necessary prerequsite to being a library coder), so one needs to check to make sure that nothing goes wrong when one calls a library, or allows a library to call a callback.09:41
persiafixing postgressql to not crash is a good thing.  Fixing php to not crash when postgressql crashes is possibly also wise.09:42
mr-russand fixing curl when openssl calls a callback :)09:46
mr-russor fixing openssl to ensure the callback is still valid,  I'm not even sure how you do that.  but a problem for another day.09:46
persiaIndeed.  Lots of bugs to fix there :)09:49
mr-russwhat is the difference between:  postgresql, postgresql-8.1, postgresql-8.2 packages?  all bugs that are in all versions would go in postgresql and version specific bugs in the version label?09:55
persiaNo, those are different packages, I think the old ones are either from earlier releases, or for people who need backward compatibility.09:58
mr-russthe bug affects all version, do I add all those packages to the affected packages for the bug?09:59
mr-russsorry for all the questions, it's not simple to understand all this stuff.09:59
persiaNo.  Only add the current package.  The old ones are unlikely to be fixed.10:00

seb128hggdh: the only clean you could do is to run autogen to update the makefile rather which is what you don't want usually16:58
hggdhyes, I had just realised it... again I forgot a basic rule: *always* start with clean sources16:59

bdmurrayI found it19:13
silentzhey19:13
silentzi got some bugs :(19:13
bdmurrayHave you found out if they are reported in Launchpad?19:14
silentzhimm i dont think so19:14
silentzit is about the pidgin and19:14
silentzthe gedit19:14
silentzthe pidgin if the compiz runnig it stuck :(19:15
silentzand every thing deleted :S19:15
snap-lsilentz: I'm running into an (unreported) issue re: Pidgin and memory leaks19:17
silentzthats good notice that i have 2.5.219:17
snap-lRun the command "top" in a window and press "m" to sort by memory usage.19:17
silentzthe 2nd thing with the gedit19:17
silentzwhen i open any file small of big19:17
silentzit start sooo slow19:18
silentzthen it work good19:18
snap-lCheck your memory usage for pidgin. I think that's the crux of your issue.19:18
silentzi have a very good PC19:19
silentzwith good specification19:19
silentzi dont think it is a memory problem19:19
silentzi have used 8.0419:19
silentzwith no problem in gedit19:20
silentzbut pidgin from the existence of 2.5.0 untill 2.5.219:20
WelshDragonIf i want to make a suggestion...Do i just report a bug and then change the importance to Wishlist?19:20
bdmurrayWelshDragon: it depends on the scope of the suggestion19:21
bdmurrayWelshDragon: What do you have in mind?19:21
silentzhimmm19:22
silentznot really19:22
WelshDragonbdmurray, A very simple suggestion. gdebi-gtk doesn't give users an option to uninstall the package if it's already installed. It only has a reinstall option.19:22
silentzi like ubuntu but some time really dont like these small bugs :(19:22
bdmurrayWelshDragon: I'm not sure that falls with-in the applications scope, but that is something you could submit in Launchpad.19:24
WelshDragonbdmurray, Submit it as a bug report though?19:25
silentzman i'm tooo lazy to make a report with my bad english :D19:25
bdmurrayWelshDragon: yes19:26
WelshDragonbdmurray, OK. Thank you :)19:26
chrisccoulsonWelshDragon - i agree with bdmurray about your idea perhaps being outside of the scope for gdebi-gtk19:26
chrisccoulsoni think it would be counterintuitive to have to double click on a .deb package in order to uninstall it19:27
chrisccoulsonthat's what synaptic is for;)19:27
bdmurrayThe package description also says 'Simple too to install deb files'19:27
chrisccoulsongdebi-gtk is there purely as a tool to facilitate the easy installation of deb files you've downloaded, to allow you to just double click on a package19:28
chrisccoulsoni don't really think it should have any other features tbh19:28
silentz i have a suggestion :D19:31
silentzwhy dont we make a shortcut19:31
silentzin the Right click list19:31
silentzthe said uninstall19:31
silentzwithout making a new package dedicated for uninstalling :D19:32
silentzlike in linux mint19:32
silentz??19:33
WelshDragonchrisccoulson, It may seem counterintuitive, but when you double click an exe in Windows, It gives you an option to repair or uninstall? In terms of trying to make ubuntu more user friendly, surely it'd be a plus for gdebi to include an uninstall button aswell.19:34
silentzyea i know19:34
silentzbut the user like that should keep19:35
silentzthe .deb :S19:35
silentzbut making a shortcut for the user to right click on the programme then uninstall it would be better19:35
silentzRight ?19:35
silentzand it is oky to make both the button and my idea also :)19:36
chrisccoulsonperhaps an option in the context menu if you right-clicked on a deb. but the problem is then that the file manager has to check whether that application is already installed before populating the context menu19:36
silentzyea it is a good point but we can solve if with ....19:38
silentz>>> hard to explain :S19:38
silentzmaking the debian file check himself19:38
silentzin where it is installed only19:39
silentzif so the button if enabled19:39
WelshDragon>< Already been suggested *bonk*19:39
silentzif not button is disables19:39
silentzRight ?19:39
chrisccoulsoni dunno. you could try suggesting it on Launchpad if you like, but I don't think we need to clutter up the right-click context menu anymore than it alreadt is. it becomes less useful and harder to use if we start sticking extra options in it19:41
azimout1come on guys, today is bug day. quit wasting time about whether gdebi should uninstall packages and solve some bugs! :-P19:41
silentzhimmm19:41

saivannbdmurray : -proposed version works for your now?? Did you try to transfer the same music files than the last time it failed?20:08
bdmurraysaivann: yes, the same file as indicated in the bug20:09
saivannbdmurray : I'm trying to see if ID3 tags are removed during transfer..20:09
saivannbdmurray : I just tried with a fresh install, rhythmbox failed to transfer, I updated to intrepid-proposed, rhythmbox successfully transfered and the copied MP3 file still have all ID3 tags20:16
saivannArtist, Album, etc.20:16
bdmurraysaivann: hmmm, I'll remove rhythmbox and try again20:19
saivannbdmurray : Strangely, someone else reported that the version in -proposed didn't work, exactly like you..20:20
bdmurraysaivann: It wouldn't be device specific would it?20:21
saivannbdmurray : I also thought about this.. The changes that the upstream developer included is definitively not device-specific, but perhaps that libmtp has some device specific bugs.. I don't know20:23
bdmurraysaivann: still no tags and the files copied have a strange extension too20:58
weboideHi, i was trying to reproduce bug I can reproduce this bug in 8.10.20:59
weboide*BUT* the properties for this error dialog box is _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR which should mean that it should not appear in the alt-tab windows list.20:59
weboideargh nevermind the last line...20:59
saivannbdmurray : Yes I also have a weird filename, that seems to be normal here. But I have all ID3 tags. Are-you transfering MP3 or other audio file types?20:59
=== andre____ is now known as andre__
bdmurraysaivann: mp320:59
weboide... in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/189294 and in fact I don't know if that's a normal behaviour20:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 189294 in ubuntu "Alt tab fails" [Undecided,New]21:00
saivannbdmurray : I tried many files on two computers, one AMD64 and one i386 and I never get error or missing ID3 tags, always with -proposed release, so I really don't know why you have this behavior. Any outputs in the terminal if you run rhythmbox on it?21:01
charlie-tcaweboide: I can not get the error to come up with an empty drive. I would think the error21:07
charlie-tcashould not block Alt+tab switching21:07
weboidecharlie-tca: I think what he means is:21:07
bdmurraysaivann: nothing, I could try on another system21:08
weboidecharlie-tca: when you have an error dialog, the dialog doesn't show up in the alt-tab windows list21:08
weboidecharlie-tca: so the dialog falls into the background and the only way to get it back to front is to minimize every other windows21:09
weboideI reproduced it in 8.1021:09
weboidecharlie-tca: but i need confirmation about if that's a normal behaviour or not21:10
weboidecharlie-tca: the window has a SKIP TASKBAR property21:10
charlie-tcaI don't know why the window couldn't be brought back! I think it is valid21:10
charlie-tcaunless that is so that the error window never grabs focus21:11
charlie-tcaI just don't know, I guess. Sorry21:12
saivannbdmurray : BTW, do you have all updates installed?21:12
weboidecharlie-tca: well I thought that this is kind of a lot of work to bring back that error window, so I think ill confirm it.21:12
bdmurraysaivann: last I checked - about 5 hours ago21:12
charlie-tcaagreed21:13
weboidecharlie-tca: I expected that error to show up in the alt-tab21:13
charlie-tcaThat's my thought too! How else can you get rid of it?21:13
bdmurraysaivann: and its just rhythmbox from -proposed correct?21:14
weboidecharlie-tca: I think the expected behaviour is when you alt-tab to the application that raised the error, the error should show up also. (isn't this feature working already?) does it mean nautilus has a weird way to raise error windows? hmm..21:14
saivannbdmurray : Yes, with version number that ends with 4.121:15

bdmurraysaivann: neither are freshly installed.21:36
