andresmujicahi, i'm gonna use move-duplicates.py from python-launchpad-scripts but i've got a doubt, i should mark each bug to move or just checking the main bug it would move the dupes as dupes for the newmaster?02:00
andresmujicait seems that it would work... only if i can make the script authenticate....02:11

d-bhi there there is a bug in ebox on ubuntu 8.10 - it is not installable06:24
d-balso does anyone know about the status of reportbug on ubuntu -> it still report to debian right ? is this ok / by design / does it go to another area now ?06:31
crimsund-b: yes, the ebox uninstallable due to non-existent libapache-authcookie-perl is known06:38
d-byes. i saw that crimsun but why is this still the case ? is there a problem in including that package / copying it from a previous release into 8.1006:39
crimsun8.10 is frozen.  Anything added must be to intrepid-backports.06:39
d-b / the newer ebox put in ubuntu-backports06:40
crimsunso yes, there is a problem due to that technical detail06:41
d-bok and re reportbug06:42
crimsunalso, 0.12.3 is not available yet in jaunty, so it can't be backported to intrepid-backports06:42
crimsun(however, have you seen http://ebox-platform.com/download/ ?)06:42
d-bcrimsun: fair enough. crimsun yeah.06:42
crimsunby default, report bug sends to the ubuntu-users mailing list06:43
crimsunreportbug*06:43
d-bcrimsun: the the description of the package shown by apt-cache show reportbug is wrong.06:44
d-bor not accurate06:44
crimsund-b: please file a bug against it in Launchpad, then06:45
d-bah sorry i might have missed the bottom part Bugs: mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com06:45
d-bis that re the package as it is included in ubuntu - i assume.06:45
crimsunthat's the default address for bug reports for Ubuntu packages, yes.06:46
d-balso how can you report bugs in ubuntu from the command line, is it possible if you are just a user and not a devel / higher up in ubuntu.07:15
crimsund-b: yes, you can just use reportbug07:25
d-bcrimsun: not to ubuntu i can't07:27
d-b* i can't to ubuntu07:28
d-bthe server rejects it -> its a known bug07:28
d-bhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/reportbug/+bug/12341407:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 123414 in reportbug "reportbug shouldn't unconditionally attempt to relay via fiordland" [Medium,Triaged]07:31
crimsund-b: you can work around it.07:35
d-boh ?07:35
crimsunalso, do you have a gpg key, and have you signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct on Launchpad?07:35
crimsunif so, you can use the e-mail interface to LP07:36
d-bcrimsun: mmm i think so. let me check07:36
d-byes i believe i have - i had to do that to become an ubuntero no ?07:36
crimsunyes07:36
d-byep. i have signed it.07:36
d-bah ... i'm not putting my gpg key on my server to simply report a bug.07:37
d-bbut for my machine- how would i do it -> just set it up to sign mail from me ?07:39
macocrimsun: um, i cant get the email interface to work07:40
macocrimsun: and ive certainly done both of those07:40
macod-b: yeah, it should work if you sign all your emails07:41
macoi can use it to send comments to bugs just fine07:41
macoi cant change status and such through email for some reason though07:41
d-bwait so there is a filter that is checking if a gpg sig is valid on all mails ?07:42
macoyes07:42
macoi believe so07:42
crimsunmaco: where is it breaking?07:56
macocrimsun: dunno. if i try to set affects...it doesnt get set. it shows up in the body of the comment sent to jp07:58

wolfgermorning, folks10:36
macohi10:37
wolfgerJust saw an update on Bug 113657 that makes me think it should be invalidated (bug reporter fixed problem by changing hardware). What say you all?10:37
ubottuLaunchpad bug 113657 in gnomebaker "Philips DVD =/- RW SDVD8441 firmware PA48 & PA49 fails to complete disk burning." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/11365710:37
macois there enough info to work with?10:38
macoif not...then yeah, id invalidate it10:38
macotheres also th chance he's got hardware of the same quality as mine ;)10:38
macowhich is to say: broken10:39
wolfgerwell, it's filed against 3 packages. One is marked incomplete, so that's an easy invalidate (they clearly don't have enough info). One is confirmed and one new10:39
wolfgerbut in a hardware-specific bug, I'm wondering "what are the odds we'll ever know if it's fixed?" if the reporter got new hardware.10:40
wolfgerand maco, do you *ever* sleep?  You seem to be up all night every night10:41
wolfgerand I know you're in my time zone10:41
macomy classes start at 1420 every day :)10:44
macoi wake up around 140010:44
wolfgerdang. Must be nice. I could never get a class schedule that didn't start by 090010:44
macoinvalidate it, i think. it doesnt sound like its got the info needed10:44

danagejerone: in bug 282207 in your last comment you talk about a different issue with sierra cards where network manager asks the network password. do you mean that it keeps asking for the PIN? because that is the issue i am having with mine - manually entering the pin via terminal works11:15

calccan anyone close a bug as invalid?19:27
* calc thinks maybe just ubuntu bug users should be able to close bugs19:28
calcsome nut is going through OOo bugs and is closing upstream bugs as 'this is not a ubuntu bug, this is a openoffice problem19:28
* calc wonders if the user is a 5-a-day abuser or something similiarly crack19:28
crimsuncalc: check the activity log19:29
calche's closed at least 3 bugs in OOo alone for bad reasons19:30
calccrimsun: user activity or something else?19:31
calcuser activity would be good to see to revert problems like this user19:31
calchttps://bugs.launchpad.net/~sebastiancobaleda19:31
thekornhe is not doind 5-a-day19:32
calcthekorn: ok19:32
calci think we are lucky then ;-)19:32
calcotherwise 5 new 'invalid' bugs a day :\19:32
thekornI think we should try to contact and ask user why they are doing things the wrong way,19:33
thekornis there some bad documentation,19:34
thekornor understanding of docs19:34
calcthekorn: yea, i just told him in a bug report not to do it anymore, but someone more accustomed to dealing with new people should talk to him :)19:34
thekornhehe, ok can you give me some bug numbers?19:35
calc30692519:41
calci'll see if i can get the others quickly19:41
thekorn22070319:42
rockstarcalc, I don't see anything out of the ordinary in that one.19:42
thekornis the one with your comment ;)19:42
calcthekorn: yea i just found that one again19:42
calcthekorn: i wasn't completely calm but refrained from getting myself in trouble ;-)19:42
calcrockstar: he closed it invalid with his comment, i reopened it already19:43
calcnow if it is actually fixed in 3.0 which is still waiting in jaunty to build then it can be closed at that point19:43
calcbut it shouldn't have been closed already telling the user to just install 3.019:43
calcand it should have been closed as fix released instead of invalid if it is indeed fixed19:44
macowant me to install 3.0 and see if it breaks with normal usage patterns established at least 15 years ago that say if you want to retain ratio, you hold down shift while resizing?19:45
calcand resizing images that way in 3.0 doesn't keep aspect ratio either, at least afaict19:45
calcmaco: ah shift?19:45
calcyea shift works :)19:46
macoyes, shift has always been the way to keep ratio19:46
macogoing back to microsoft paint for win95 at least19:46
calcmaco: ah i don't do much with word processing myself just developer stuff19:47
calcmaco: but yes it works with 3.0 in the ppa19:47
calcso i updated and documented the shift bit in the bug, thanks!19:47
macoshift works with 2.4 as wll19:47
calcoh it does? hmm then no bug at all then i guess19:47
macoif there's a bug at all, its that the help doesnt say it19:48
macoso we just need to see if the help says it19:48
calcmarked invalid again explaining why it is invalid (that it already works in 2.4.1 in Intrepid)19:48
* calc probably should go back to paying attention to the UDS session he is in19:49
crimsuncalc: mostly settled19:49
calccrimsun: ok19:50

_Zeus_hey, what should I do with this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/homebank/+bug/30696723:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 306967 in homebank ""Save as..." menu option unavailable to unmodified files" [Undecided,New]23:40
_Zeus_I was thinking to politely tell him that this is the wrong place to report it, but then i thought maybe we oculd upstream it23:40
_Zeus_what should i do?23:40
chrisccoulsonHomebank upstream uses launchpad as its bug tracker23:41
maco_Zeus_: just upstream it23:41
chrisccoulsonand that bug only has an upstream task23:41
_Zeus_ok, how do i do that?  subscribe someone else?23:41
chrisccoulsonits not registered against ubuntu at all23:41
_Zeus_right, i noticed that23:42
_Zeus_he used getbed23:42
_Zeus_*getdeb23:42
_Zeus_wait, so how do i upstream it?23:42
chrisccoulsonits already upstream23:42
_Zeus_oh, so i don't need to touch it23:43
chrisccoulsonthe bug is already reported against homebank upstream, which just happens to use launchpad as its bug tracker23:43

maco_Zeus_: see how it doesnt say "ubuntu" in the link?23:45
macoyou can ignore it23:45
_Zeus_oops23:46
chrisccoulsonmaco is right - that's not an ubuntu bug either23:46
chrisccoulsonyou should leave that one, as other projects have different rules and may not appreciate us messing around with their bug reports23:46
