[07:00] <smoothtexan> hey everyone
[07:00] <persia> hey smoothtexan.
[07:00] <smoothtexan> i need some help with bug 275345
[07:00] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 275345 in linux "[intrepid] mmcblk0 detection is broken - fdisk -l no longer shows it" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/275345
[07:01] <smoothtexan> hey thats cool
[07:01] <persia> Hmm.  I get a mount for /dev/mmcblk01p1 locally.
[07:02] <smoothtexan> yeah it mounts it, but if you  do a fdisk -l it doesnt show up for whatever reason
[07:02] <smoothtexan> oh wait
[07:02] <persia> Ah, I see.
[07:02] <persia> Annoying that.
[07:03] <smoothtexan> yeah...therefore you cant use gparted to partition it
[07:03] <smoothtexan> which is crap when you trying to get ext3 on it
[07:04] <smoothtexan> anyways, there have been several people confirm the bug in the ticket, so what is the next step?
[07:06] <smoothtexan> anyone?
[07:07] <persia> Need to track down the specific problem.
[07:07] <persia> Why isn't it available.
[07:08] <smoothtexan> ok...i was hoping to hand it off to someone, because i have no idea what to do...
[07:08] <persia> I'm wondering if it's because the storage adaptor is inside the SD card, rather than being fixed.
[07:12] <smoothtexan> well, the ticket shows that there are a bunch of other people having the same problem, so i dont think that is just my card if thats what you're saying
[07:12] <persia> No, it's the architecture of it.
[07:12] <persia> See, an SD slot is like a PCI slot.
[07:13] <persia> When you insert a storage card, it's like inserting a SATA card which is already attached to a drive.
[07:13] <smoothtexan> ah
[07:13] <persia> What I'm wondering is if the kernel doesn't handle hotplug of storage interfaces well.
[07:14] <smoothtexan> the last guy who commented said that it worked hardy
[07:14] <smoothtexan> but not in gutsy
[07:14] <smoothtexan> i mean
[07:14] <persia> You wouldn't see this for USB, because USB storage has special quirks.  You also wouldn't see it for SATA or PATA or SCSI, because very few people have real hotplug interfaces for those, or regularly try to use them.
[07:14] <smoothtexan> intrepid
[07:16] <smoothtexan> im going to make a post in the forums and see what happens
[07:17] <persia> Good idea.  It just needs someone with understanding of the internals, and the right hardware to track it down.  If it's working in hardy but not intrepid, it's worth adding the "regression" tag.
[07:19] <smoothtexan> cool, thanks for your help man, i throw a regression tag on it and post in the forums
[07:19] <smoothtexan> i'll*
[07:20] <persia> There's also a wiki page about handling kernel bugs.
[07:22] <persia> smoothtexan, You might try following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies to make sure the right team is notified, which may help.
[07:22] <smoothtexan> ok...so you think it a kernel bug then...
[07:22] <smoothtexan> i didn
[07:23] <smoothtexan> i didnt think it was because it was working in hardy under the same kernel...but i really dont know much about it
[07:23] <smoothtexan> =P
[07:24] <persia> huh?
[07:24] <persia> hardy and intrepid have different kernel versions.
[07:24] <smoothtexan> well there you go
[07:25] <smoothtexan> see i told you
[07:25] <persia> 2.6.24 vs. 2.6.27
[07:25] <smoothtexan> ok
[07:25] <persia> If kernelspace is known fine, the kernel team can probably kick it to the right userspace program.
[07:26] <smoothtexan> how do i add a tag to a ticket...sorry im new to the whole bug tracking process
[07:27] <persia> There should be a pencil icon to "edit description/tags" near the top.
[07:29] <smoothtexan> got it

[12:14] <DarkKnight> hey i always wanted to know how i can learn the coding and fix bugs to improve launchpad....can anyone tell me where to start from
[12:15] <persia> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix is one place that covers some of that.
[12:15] <persia> My suggestion would be to find a bug, and try to track down what causes it by reading the code.
[12:16] <persia> You'll learn a lot about the language by trying to read it, and it's often more fun to start with investigation than to learn how to write "Hello World".
[12:17] <DarkKnight> persia; okk...ya i just started that resently; i wanted 2 start understanding how each code could work for the system
[12:32] <DarkKnight> persia; there r different files in different directories...which i dont even know....do i have to go through something like system administration??
[12:33] <persia> DarkKnight, I'm in a meeting now, but if you've a specific bug, and a specific package, I can spend some time looking at it with you in a while (maybe 45 minutes).
[12:33] <persia> Generally there's a Makefile or setup.py or something that explains how the source code is converted into the program, which can help you track things down.
[12:34] <DarkKnight> persia; yes i do have a bug...but i m not specifying that i want 2 learn how to fix only my bug...i just wanted to explore into this....
[12:35] <DarkKnight> persia; and not only that I read somewhere that if we have to get into the development team; we have to fix bugs
[12:35] <persia> DarkKnight, Right.  I think it's best to learn by doing, so if you've an example, we can look at that, and you can use that same procedure on the next one.

[14:05] <DarkKnight> UTC??
[14:05] <DarkKnight> mine is GMT+5:30

[14:16] <nhandler> angusthefuzz: Isn't that only true for part of the year?
[14:17] <persia> nhandler, No, it's true about once every 9 years.  The rest of the time GMT can differ from UTC by almost a second.
[14:17] <angusthefuzz> nhandler: not according to wiki?
[14:19] <angusthefuzz> to quote: "For most common and legal-trade purposes, the fractional second difference between UTC and UT (GMT) is inconsequentially small, so UTC is often called GMT"

[21:04] <linkmaster03> thanks for confirming
[21:04] <hggdh> it is better in this case to leave it unassigned... also, we have to find a package for it
