jibelmvo: most of the python modules upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 are failing because of this.09:43
mvojibel: hey, thanks for all the triage you do currently, that is great stuff!09:43
mvojibel: I think the patch I posted is the appropriate solution, I think pycentral is overly cautious here09:44
mvoat the expense of unneeded failures09:44
mvoI would even vote for a SRU on this, but certainly it should go into jaunty09:44
jibelmvo: shall we mark all those upgrades as duplicates of this master ? What do you think is the right policy to triage those bugs ?09:45
jibelmvo: some triager are just marking them "invalid" but I don't believe this is a good from a user point of view09:45
jibels/good/good thing/09:46
mvojibel: yeah, I think we should dup them on this master09:47
mvoand I also think marking them invalid is wrong, sure its the user who did something "wrong" but that should not screw the upgrade, it should just work, especially nice its easy to fix09:47
jibelmvo: Ok. I'm at work right now and don't have too much time but I'll try to send an email to the bugsquad list as soon as I can to summarize this.09:50
jibelmvo: thank you for your help.09:50

Guest9038hello, I have a bug with evolution, I can reproduce it, but I don't know how to submit a crash report16:13
Guest9038I found this link:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingEvolution16:13
Guest9038it say's: Program crash - Log files from the crash incident are required to track down these. Almost always, this will require the reporter to file in a nice backtrace (since most of the times we cannot reproduce it :-(). For example, see bug 106504. if  Apport is installed, a crash report will be generated under /var/crash.16:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 106504 in evolution-data-server "Evolution crashes when searching the calendar" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/10650416:14

Guest9038(evolution:2589): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_is_composited: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed16:14
Guest9038Segmentation fault16:14
hggdhand what Ubuntu version are you running?16:14
Guest90388.1016:15
hggdhGuest9038, indeed... apport is disabled on 8.10 now. For you to enable it 'sudo vi /etc/default/apport', and change énabled'from 0 to 116:16
hggdhGuest9038, *but* -- if the GdK-CRITICAL message has something to do with the crash, this sounds more like a compiz issue16:17
Guest9038hggdh: thx, I'll try it again, the page saying: if apport is installed a crash report will be generated...16:17
Guest9038hggdh: tried with and witout compiz, still crashed16:18

hggdhGuest9038, not necessarily related to your crash16:20

hggdhthis is interesting. Apport should have kicked in to handle the SEGV16:24
xteejxHey guys stupid question : What is the LOWEST version of Ubuntu that is now supported is it Hardy 8.04.1?16:24
BUGabundo_workhggdh: apport only kicks in during devel. not on a stable release16:25

BUGabundo_workit also happened a few times when running with more then 50% (1h) of battery16:32
xteejxBUGabundo_work: Personally I'd file it under linux as chances are it's a kernel problem, but can't say for sure without further info.16:33

seb128do you have any .apport* in your user directory? did you try "start" rather than "restart"?16:44
seb128restart doesn't do what you think, try doing start16:45
Guest9038ok seb128, thanx, that fixed my problem...16:45
Guest9038weird, I tought restart would also start it...16:46
BUGabundo_workme too16:47
seb128no16:47
BUGabundo_workseb128: so stuff like /etc/init.d/postfix restart or16:48
BUGabundo_work /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart aint the same as16:49
BUGabundo_workstop && start ?16:49
seb128BUGabundo_work: you can use your editor on the apport script and look at what it's doing16:49
seb128some do a stop and start16:50
seb128not sure if that's worth a bug, you can try to ask pitti directly on IRC16:50
BUGabundo_worknever thought about it...16:51
BUGabundo_workits one of those thing a person tends to assume that it just works like that16:51

chrisccoulsonthere is another team you can subscribe too if you want that17:06
chrisccoulsoni think#17:06
chrisccoulsonbut i wouldn't advise you do that;)17:07
homyno, I wouldn't want that email, thats why I'm asking :)17:07
homyAnyway, what good is it to be in the BugSquad launchpad team? I mean, can't also also triage bugs the same without being in it?17:07
chrisccoulsonyes you can, but you will also receive e-mails from the bugsquad mailing list (which is a low traffic list)17:08
chrisccoulsonthat can be very useful17:08
homythanks! I think I'll try triaging a bug or two like that and if I like doing it, I'll join the BugSquad team.17:09

asacmurdok: i will come around and ask for more questions17:36
asacjust because you answered the first one, doesnt mean its complete and there are no more questions left17:36
asacmurdok: by bumping status to confirmed you make this bug be less likely to be looked at by me17:36

asacmurdok: no17:37
asacthats cumbersome17:37

murdoknot only by those who mind17:43
maco_asac: asac well, i recall saying on a list one time (devel discuss?) what the wiki page says, which is that confirm means there's enough info, which resulted in someone (bdmurray?) going "huh? no that's triage" and then we check the wiki and oh wait confirmed has way too high a bar, it does look like triage, oops, change confirmed to mean it's reproducible17:43

chrisccoulsondrunkenkilla - your bug report could use some more info really19:02
drunkenkillawhich infos?19:02
chrisccoulsonyour dmesg shows some unknown scancodes. it would be useful to know whih keys these scancodes actually corresponded to on your notebook19:03
chrisccoulsonthat would be needed in order to make the hal-info change to register these keys19:03
chrisccoulsonthe scancodes are e008 and e00919:03
chrisccoulsonand if you could also attach the output of "lshal" too19:04
chrisccoulsonthen iu'll have a look at the other hal-info changes for similar problems and see how easy it is to implement. if it's not too hard, then i'll do it when i get the chance19:04
chrisccoulsonit looks pretty trivial to do actually19:07
drunkenkillaok first i added the lshal19:07
drunkenkillatoday i tried the acpi-fix but it doesn't help me19:09
drunkenkillachrisccoulson: keys...scancodes...do you mean something like this?: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-keymap-check.html19:14
chrisccoulsonif you do something like "tail -f /var/log/dmesg" and then press each non-working key in turn, an error will be reported to the terminal containing the scancode for each keypress19:16
chrisccoulsonthats the bit i need. you've already posted the scancodes in the bug report, but the problem is i don't know which keys they belong too19:16
chrisccoulsonhi - the output of lshal in your bug report looks wrong. it looks like the output of dmesg instead19:18
chrisccoulsonand could you please attach the output of lshal instead of posting inline? to do this, run "lshal > lshal.log" and attach the file "lshal.log" to the bug report19:19
drunkenkillachrisccoulson: i tipped tail -f /var/... and when i'm tipping the fn-keys no error is shown19:23

drunkenkillaNov  5 20:25:40 drunkenkilla-laptop kernel: [ 5202.298802] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x89 on isa0060/serio0).19:26
drunkenkillaNov  5 20:25:40 drunkenkilla-laptop kernel: [ 5202.298821] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e009 <keycode>' to make it known.19:26
chrisccoulsonthats right. now, which key did you press to make that happen. that is the missing link;)19:26
chrisccoulsonand i could still do with the output of lshal, as described above19:27
chrisccoulsoni'm not quite sure wht the other data is that you posted19:27
drunkenkillai pressed once fn-key+up arrow and fn-key+down arrow19:27
chrisccoulsonok, but one of those keys corresponds to scancode e008 and the other key corresponds to scancode e00919:28
chrisccoulsonwhich way round is it?19:28
drunkenkillaNov  5 20:28:56 drunkenkilla-laptop kernel: [ 5398.061901] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e008 <keycode>' to make it known.19:29
drunkenkilla   this ist fn-key+up arrow19:29
chrisccoulsonthanks19:29
drunkenkillai upped the lshal.log19:31
=== maco_ is now known as maco
chrisccoulsonthanks drunkenkilla. did you have an external keyboard connected when you ran lshal?19:32
drunkenkillano19:32
chrisccoulsonhmmm. that's odd. there appears to be 2 keyboards;)19:32
drunkenkillanow i'm tipping on the notebook-keyboard...sometimes, when i'm at home, i'm tipping on an external keyboard but not now19:33
chrisccoulsonthanks anyway, i think there is enough info in there now. i'll work on it soon and then ask you to test a modified hal-info19:34
drunkenkillaok thank chrisccoulson19:35
drunkenkillathanks19:35
drunkenkillabye19:38
unenoughhey, i have an annoying problem, sometimes when i have connection problems to a wifi, nm-applet suddenly disappears from the panel19:43
unenoughuntil i reboot19:43
Awsoonnunenough: did you check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager19:44
Awsoonnit's probably crashing and you should file a bug and atach a backtrace. It;s not as dificult as it sounds. :)19:46
weboideHi, I want to work on fixing watch files in some packages I found in the UEHS, I'd like to know if that'd helpful and what I should do after it's been fixed. (posting a debdiff in a bug report or sthg else?)19:52
weboide*if that'd be19:53

unenoughAwsoonn, i don't think it's difficult, i'm a developer too. just annoying that i have to spend time on it. But thanks for the link, i'll do that next time it happens.20:42
drunkenkillachrisccoulson: hello21:07
chrisccoulsonhi21:07
drunkenkillai installed your hal-info21:07
chrisccoulsonwhat happened?21:08
drunkenkillawhen i press the fn-key+up/down arrow, the icon comes for change the brightness but then the other keys doesn't work, the mouse-keys doesn't work right...21:08
chrisccoulsondoes the brightness change? and which other keys don't work?21:09
drunkenkillai can't press any keys...21:09
drunkenkillathe brightness doesn't change21:09
chrisccoulsoncould you post the output of lshal to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?21:10
drunkenkillayes mom21:11
drunkenkillahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/68052/21:12
chrisccoulsonthis is with the update hal-info isn't it?21:12
drunkenkillathis is with the update hal-info21:13
chrisccoulsonthats odd21:13
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure why it made any difference. the HAL quirk i added didn't apply for some reason21:14
drunkenkillai updated the gnome-power-manager from you too21:14
chrisccoulsonah, i wouldn't do that;)21:15
drunkenkillatoo late^21:15
chrisccoulsonthe hal quirk did actually add. i'm not sure why it causes your problem though21:15
drunkenkillahmm21:16
drunkenkillai'm changing the gnome-power-manager back...21:17
drunkenkillaok i will press the fn-keys now21:18
drunkenkillamaybe that i must reboot it21:18
drunkenkillare21:22
drunkenkillai got some bugs now in the windows...i must reboot21:23
drunkenkillare21:23
drunkenkillachrisccoulson: when i press the fn-key+up/down-arrow, then the other keys doesn't work...i must press ctrl+alt+F1 and then ctrl+alt+f7 and then it works21:25
drunkenkillabut not fine21:25
chrisccoulsonhmmmm. that's odd. that sounds like a separate issue21:25
chrisccoulsoni've got to go at the moment. if i'm around later, i'll ask you for some more info21:26
drunkenkillaok21:26

bdmurrayjibel: weren't you talking about an ubuntu-studio upgrade bug once?22:52
jibelbdmurray: yes I did22:53
bdmurrayjibel: is bug 288608 a duplicate of that?22:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 288608 in ubuntu "Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntustudio-menu_0.10_all.deb'  The upgrade will continue but the '/var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntustudio-menu_0.10_all.deb' package may be in a not working state. Please consider submitting a bugreport about it." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28860822:54
jibelbdmurray: not much info on this report. Could he provide the output of the upgrade ?22:56
jibelbdmurray: the master report is bug 27650322:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 276503 in ubuntustudio-menu "package ubuntustudio-menu 0.10 failed to install/upgrade: there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27650322:56
jibelbdmurray: I've talked to luisbg about it few days ago, but I've got no feedback since then and I don't know if he's working on it.22:59
bdmurrayjibel: did you get any traction with that bug?22:59
jibelbdmurray: I've asked for help on #ubuntustudio and #ubuntu-devel but no one followed up.23:08
bdmurrayjibel: there's an ubuntu-studio-users mailing list23:11
bdmurrayoh, and a devel one23:11
bdmurrayhmm, the devel one loks mostly like bug mail23:12
bdmurrayjibel: I pinged a dev in #ubuntu-devel about it23:18
jibelbdmurray: The devel seems to be simply the recipient for launchpad bug mails and developers are not very active on the users one.23:19
jibelbdmurray: Impressive, I can see that you're more influent than I am ;)23:20
bdmurrayI just happened to know a good person to ask.23:22
jibelbdmurray: I had tried since he was in the changelog but I probably don't know the magic words.23:25
jibelbdmurray: Do you know where I can reach the maintainer of wubi ?23:25
jibelbdmurray: I have another metabug in my bag. bug 25290023:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 252900 in wubi "vfat : wubi 8.04.1-rev506 kernel upgrade fails" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25290023:26
bdmurrayHe's xivulon on IRC and shows up in #ubuntu-installer23:26
bdmurrayhttps://launchpad.net/~ago23:26
jibelbdmurray: I haven't tried #ubuntu-installer. will do. thanks,23:27
bdmurrayjibel: Did you see his comment on that bug?23:28
jibelbdmurray: Yes I have, but we have to find a more user friendly way to tell the user that it doesn't work except just a failure.23:31
bdmurrayI agree that would be best.23:31
jibelbdmurray: If we know that kernel upgrade doesn't work then maybe kernel upgrade could simply be locked.23:33
jibelbdmurray: we have the same kind of issue with users trying to upgrade a live cd from a memory stick. It just fails.23:34
jspirohi all.  Each time cllaudyu types "sudo apt-get update23:39
jspiro", she gets "Segmentation faultchete... 1%"23:39
jspirocllaudyu: (is it "she"?  your nick sounds female)23:40
cllaudyuis he23:40
jspirosorry23:40
cllaudyuthat's ok :))23:40
jspiroi told him he probably ran into a bug, and should report it.  Could someone here please help cllaudyu figure out if this is a known bug, and if not, how to report it?23:41
cllaudyuthank you23:41
cllaudyubut i think i will get help far more hard23:41
jspirowhat does "more hard" mean?23:42
cllaudyui mean in never23:42
cllaudyui don't know what to do23:43
jspirocllaudyu:  (each time you see a segmentation fault, that means there is a serious bug in apt-get that should be fixed.  And if you are experiencing the bug, there are probably a hundred or more other people who have experienced the same bug as you before.)23:43
cllaudyujspiro i hope there is a simple solution for this23:44
jspirocllaudyu:  there may be a simple solution.  But if you do the simple solution, then the bug will remain unfixed for everyone else.  If you report the bug, then you will be helping all other Ubuntu users experiencing the bug.23:45
cllaudyujspiro repporting i want but how do i repport the bugg?23:46
jspirocllaudyu:  you wait here for someone else here to help you.  I am not sure, but probably they will tell you how to upgrade to the newest apt from a newer Ubuntu, verify the bug still exists, get a backtrace, rebuild with dpkg-buildpackage if you don't have symbols in the backtrace, try again to get the backtrace, and upload it.23:48
jspirocllaudyu:  It is hard but they can tell you everything to type.23:48
hggdhcllaudyu, what is your Ubuntu version?23:48
cllaudyuhggdh 8.0423:48
hggdhcllaudyu, OK. when you get hte segmentation fault, do you see a pop-up stating something about "apport"?23:49
cllaudyuno23:50
cllaudyui just tipe in terminal sudo apt-get update23:50
* jspiro idly wonders: (do segfaulting console apps ever cause apport to pop up?)23:50
cllaudyuand i get23:50
* jspiro didn't know console apps could.23:50
hggdhjspiro, they should23:50
jspiroit's annoying how it isn't for cllaudyu then.23:51
hggdhthere is a reason: apport is usually disabled on stable releases23:51
cllaudyui just done an update command and it got me this in the terminal23:51
cllaudyuSegmentation faultchete... 18%23:51
hggdhcllaudyu, and you get the shell prompt again, right?23:52
cllaudyuyes23:52
hggdhk23:52
hggdhlet's check if apport is enabled: on the terminal 'sudo vi /etc/default/apport'23:53
jspirohggdh: not nano?23:53
hggdhor nano23:53
jspirohggdh: or gedit, better yet :)23:53
* hggdh uses vi23:53
jspirocllaudyu: sudo gedit /etc/default/apport23:53
hggdhthe important piece is to open it under an editor ;-)23:54
cllaudyuit opened23:54
cllaudyuknow?23:54
hggdhnot check if 'enabled=1' -- if it is =0, make it =123:54

hggdhOK. save the file, then 'sudo invoke-rc.d apport start'23:56
