[15:56] fuselage: give me a minute [15:56] But its not "not functioning" at all, its a minor GUI problem, it might be able to be set at Medium, but it is only a search function, users can still browse to the network right? [15:56] :) [15:57] thats true xteejx, I am still somewhat new at this, it seemed debatable to me [15:58] angusthefuzz: So am I :) But there's kernel problems around, they're def more important than a minor-ish quirk :) [15:58] yes, relatively this is a really minor problem, but for the nautilus package itself it might be considered medium? [15:59] are we supposed to think of importance as global or package specific, if you know what i mean? [15:59] fuselage: please use "ubuntu-bug jockey" to file the bug [15:59] bit of both :) lol [15:59] okay :-) [16:00] james_w: thanks, I'll do that now [16:00] xteejx, angusthefuzz : I think the key in LOW: Ones that can be easily worked around [16:00] angusthefuzz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status might give some insight into the bug control [16:01] I will go ahead and change it, angusthefuzz [16:01] YES!

[16:02] yeah, i initially thought low, just thought i would use this bug to learn something interesting [16:02] thanks charlie-tca [16:02] angusthefuzz, xteejx, the importance is a mix. A minor inconven ience is usually a LOW [16:02] You are welcome. no problem. [16:02] So its LOW if its minor GUI problem, unless they actually cant get onto the network then medium? [16:03] This is like school, the big guys teachin the lil guys hehe :) [16:03] xteejx: maybe even high if they cant get into network at all, since nautilus is a core application and thats pretty major [16:03] True [16:03] we have to estimate the impact: for example, how many users are affect? how frequent is this type of usage? [16:04] nautilus is a core, yes, but I -- for example -- *never* looked at network FSs via Nautilus [16:04] hggdh: Thats what I thought, but if it was a final release and it was missed, everyone's downloading that exact same ISO, problem is everywhere, then severe i guess? [16:04] me neither [16:05] I cant even get Ubuntu to work on my laptop, but I'm still here helping out (or trying) - I got it running in VirtualBox seemed a sensible solution :) [16:05] xteejx, no, not really: how frequently is this used? Does this impact a sizeable portion of the users? [16:05] there are MANY bugs on any new release -- those we already know about, and those we are still to find [16:06] this is a fix that *might* be considered for Intrepid, but... I personally doubt [16:06] (a) it is not (so far) a security issue; (b) does not seem to impact many users [16:06] hggsh: I get ya, so it depends on how many users are likely to run into the problem, how badly it will affect them, and if there is currently a way round it (browsing the folders) [16:06] correct [16:07] if there *is* a workaround, then we should describe it in the bug description [16:07] i guess i didnt recognize that browsing the folders is a workaround [16:07] hggdh: Cool, just wanted to clarify what was on the wiki [16:07] see, for example, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Description [16:08] on how to add the workaround information [16:08] angus: It's not exactly a workaround as such, but if you can browse the network folders instead of using the search facility, its not exactly a no-way-out situation :) [16:09] But yeah as obvious as it is, maybe it should be put on the bug report until and if it gets fixed [16:09] xteejx: it is a workaround to switch first to the directory you want to search [16:09] that's a known bug anyways [16:09] bug 42889 [16:09] Launchpad bug 42889 in nautilus "nautilus search on vfs locations would be nice" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42889 [16:09] it's a wishlist nautilus doesn't support search on vfs yet [16:09] BTW, on Nautilus, there is bug 182345 that is more bothersome that this one [16:09] Sorry I thought it was pretty obvious lol :) [16:09] Launchpad bug 182345 in nautilus "nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in gconf_client_remove_dir()" [Unknown,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/182345 [16:09] feel free to mark it as duplicate of the one i've pointed you [16:10] pedro_: will do [16:10] angusthefuzz: rock, thanks for helping ;-) [16:10] and still no solution... we will have (eventually) to cherry-pick the upstream fix and add it to nautilus-actions (or drop n-a, since it is currently unmaintained) [16:10] Anyway guys I'm off out now so see ya all later, ps thanks for clearing things up, should help with Bug Control if/when I get allowed on :) [16:10] cheers [16:16] hey seb128, chrisccoulson has a theory about why system-tools-backends sometimes fails to install [16:16] hello james_w [16:16] oh? [16:17] seb128: if something accesses s-t-b after it was stopped by the prerm, and before it is started again system bus activiation will mean that the daemon is running when it comes to start it later [16:18] hum [16:18] hi seb128. i can reliably recreate the problem by doing "sudo apt-get install --reinstall system-tools-backends" and then immediately run something like users-admin. if i do this, then it fails every time [16:18] how likely is it that many users do run an application using it in this timeframe? [16:19] hey chrisccoulson [16:19] i'd say pretty unlikely unless there is another mechanism causing it to start again [16:19] and the service is a system one or an user one? [16:19] system one [16:19] and running an user application system activate it? [16:20] apparently so [16:20] thats right i think. i can stop system-tools-backends, and then run any application that relies on it and it gets started automatically again by dbus [16:21] I guess the init script should just be dropped if system activation is used [16:21] yeah, that was my question [16:21] I though we did that already in fact when upstream started using dbus activation [16:21] even if it's not causing these bugs then it sounds sensible anyway [16:22] right [16:22] yeah, I thought we had as well, but I can't find a changelog entry. [16:22] better would be able to replace s-t-b and g-s-t [16:22] the design is too complex for what it has to do [16:22] indeed [16:22] it's not maintained, written in perl, etc [16:22] I enquired the other day whether there was any progress on the proposed new user management tool, but there is zero code so far [16:23] is there anything else already that can just replace it? [16:23] no [16:23] ah [16:23] we would have replaced it already otherwise [16:23] we did replace most of the other g-s-t tools already [16:23] what do kde users use? [16:24] i'm not familiar with it [16:24] not a GTK or GNOME application ;-) [16:24] i meant as the backend though;) [16:24] it would be easier to work on the new user admin tool that trying to adapt their tools to GNOME [16:25] yeah, i agree [17:57] Hey everyone. [17:58] Can one of the more knowlegable than me (everyone lol) guys do me a big favour please and check what I've done with bug 214917? I just want to know how I did with it, I'm not on bug control yet so I can't change importance, but I'd appreciate a quick lil feedback if you wouldn't mind :) thankyou [17:59] Launchpad bug 214917 in linux "Module b44 interfering with ndiswrapper upon startup" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/214917 [18:05] Would anyone just mind having a very quick look at the above for me please, I just want to know if I've done OK, if I've missed anything that's all :) [18:05] I'd appreciate it [18:07] Hrm. I'm surprised it's beneficial to assign to the kernel team, as it's against the kernel, but that's not important, as it seems to follow the kernel guidelines. [18:07] persia: I don't get you sorry [18:07] Best to ask for Importance changes or other meta-stuff here, rather than in bug reports, as it's not interesting to the reporter, the developer, or other affected users. [18:08] persia: Oh right ok, I'll remember for next time :) [18:08] As a general rule, bugs should only be assigned to oneself, to someone who requested the assignment, or to someone who one can tell what to do (e.g. someone one employs). The kernel seems to be different, but I don't know why. [18:09] persia: So for the kernel we can assign it to them? And everything else just leave it? [18:10] Don't trust me on this. In general, don't assign bugs. Review the guidelines for bug triage for special packages. Where they call for bug assignment, those are exceptions to the general rule. [18:10] Those pages change over time, so my memory of what I read once is not as reliable as the current state of the wiki. [18:10] persia: Pretty sure the wiki says to asign it to them. It's cool though. Thanks persia :) Much appreicated [18:11] Is it normal that hwclock and date commands show the same time? should hwclock be in UTC or match the local timezone? (I have only Ubuntu installed) [18:12] To me it looks like Larry Finger already mostly triaged it for 8.10 although your request for information may be helpful.. It really needs someone on the kernel team to inspect the module loading, and either make it just work, or have ndiswrapper override the b44 module somehow, but that's not something that can be done easily in the bug log. [18:14] savvas0, I think hwclock defaults to --localtime, which doesn't mean your HW clock isn't in UTC.

[18:28] I'm not sure, but I think a lot of timezone files have the same md5sum and that probably affects the tz commands to retrieve the correct country [18:29] in my case, time zone Europe/Belgrade is always shown in time-admin as "Europe/Sarajevo" [18:30] well, a diff on both shows the files are identical -- ergo, same MD5 [18:32] I wonder if this is the actual issue [18:33] I'll take a look at upstream gnome bugs === woistraim is now known as raimistda === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [19:56] <|clerum|> can someone check on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/254622 and make sure that it setup right. I added new information to a bug report that was marked incomplete. [19:56] Launchpad bug 254622 in linux "TCP uses wrong MTU/MSS size for IPv6" [Undecided,New] [19:56] <|clerum|> and I want to amke sure that is is setup right so that someone will/can look at it [19:59] It is. [19:59] It's the changing from "Incomplete" to "New" that does that. [19:59] This may change in the future, but for now, you've done the right thing. [20:00] <|clerum|> ok. thanks. so now I just wait for someone to review it and ask for more info/debugs if needed? [20:02] Well, that's the easy thing to do, but it might take a while. [20:02] Depending on your interest or existing knowledge, you might want to investigate further, and see if you can determine the exact cause, etc. [20:03] <|clerum|> unfortuantly I'm just a user not a devloper. thanks though [20:03] <|clerum|> for your help [20:04] No worries. Mind you, figuring out a problem doesn't really require a developer, and some developers who write great code aren't so good at determining causes. [20:05] With luck, someone will look at it soon, and understand the problem, and then someone else can provide a fix. [20:09] bug 246177 ; can I have the reporter file this in gnumeric bugzilla ? [20:09] Launchpad bug 246177 in gnumeric "gnumeric help on plot log scale unclear" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/246177 [20:09] It´s about adding to the documentation [20:09] Does removing a duplicate mark need special permissions? [20:10] If you are sure it is wrong, try it. It will either allow or disallow. Make sure it's wrong, though [20:10] bug 294896 [20:10] Launchpad bug 294896 in ubuntu "Ubuntu 8.10 ShutDown-Restart Delay (dup-of: 295103)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/294896 [20:10] Launchpad bug 295103 in ubuntu "very slow boot after upgrade to 8.10" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/295103 [20:11] charlie-tca, It's a judgement call. There's clearly a benefit to having it filed upstream, as it's not a decision Ubuntu is likely to make. [20:11] Whether you file it, or the reporter files it isn't so important. Getting the two bugs linked for tracking would be useful. [20:11] so file myself or have him, huh [20:12] I think I'll handle it. It works better for me. Thanks [20:12] When upstream fixes it, then LP can detect that it's fixed upstream, but not in Ubuntu, and add it to one of the harvest lists, which may encourage developer interest in pulling the patch. [20:13] joumetal, No. To remove the duplicate indicator, just use the mark as duplicate interface, and remove the bug number. [20:13] joumetal: The way I read it, it should be left as a duplicate, since it just reworded the other report [20:14] slow start/restart is slow start/restart, is it not? [20:17] charlie-tca: reporter of "duplicate" disagree and I understand him. master bug hasn't enough information. [20:18] Would adding his information to the master help get it all fixed? [20:18] Improving the master is often the best course of action, unless they are clearly distinct issues. [20:18] He said the delay in starting is different than a slowdown when starting. They are the same. === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [20:46] Hello [20:47] Is there a bug, or so, in a new Ubuntu? cron did not loads any programs that uses X-server. [20:51] Marsjanin: maybe one of these? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron [20:52] Marsjanin: Could it be that you need to set the $DISPLAY variable? [20:52] joumetal: It seems not. [20:53] Jordan_U: Well then. It all works great in Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04. I have lines like: [20:53] (after datetime/stars) [20:53] DISPLAY=":0.0" gedit [20:54] Now some guy on #ubuntu suggest me that: [20:54] export DISPLAY=:0 && gedit [20:55] And none of that and neither various combination will not do the trick. [20:55] Marsjanin: They do basically the same thing ( I assume you meant :0.0 the second time as well ) [20:55] Marsjanin: What is the output of "echo $DISPLAY" in a new terminal? [20:57] No, somebody told ma that :0.0 evolves to :0, and the dquotes gone [20:57] Already, I tried really various number of combinations [20:57] Echo says :0.0 [20:59] And the important thing: cron works, simple echo "testtext" > test.txt works OK. [21:21] So, no more ideas...? [21:22] Marsjanin: Ideas on what? [21:23] \o/ (new member) [21:23] Cron did not load any X-server programs. [21:23] Marsjanin: you mean your a new member? [21:23] Marsjanin: Have you reported the bug? [21:23] Nope :) I mean You, as new, as You didn't see what I wrote down. :) [21:24] Marsjanin: Tell me bugs number and I will look into it for you [21:24] oh ok [21:24] * Flare183 has been working with for 2+ years [21:24] I've did no report for now, I think there could be sth wrong with my system. [21:25] Marsjanin: Well post the problem on ubuntufourms.org [21:26] All the crontab list works great inder 7.10 and 8.04; in 8.10 work only lines that not runs under X-server, e.g. wget or echo. [21:26] Marsjanin: or filing a question on the answer tracker could be an option too ( https://answers.launchpad.net/ ) [21:26] I already posted, for now, on Polish language (as my native) forum.ubuntu.pl and waiting... [21:27] Hi all [21:27] Marsjanin: oh ok [21:27] hi [21:27] !hi brywilharris [21:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi brywilharris [21:27] !hi | brywilharris [21:27] brywilharris: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-bugs! [21:27] oops hehe [21:27] :) [21:28] well, assuming: 30 * * * * DISPLAY=":0.0" gedit should work? [21:31] I ask, because if it's not a bug of cron, there's no need to report it, and I rather should search for a bad setting on my machine... [21:34] [yawn] I'll better go to /dev/bed. Thanks for attention. [22:17] I am continuing to look at my Bug 294859....
