ubottuLaunchpad bug 307724 in gksu "gksu should complain about missing applications" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30772401:12
HewHey guys. I've dealt with the Edgy SRU bugs in the past when it became unsupported, and I've just had a user ask if I could do the same for Feisty now that it is unsupported as well. I just wanted to make it known here first to make sure this is still ok, before I go and ping over 100 bugs :-)01:27

duanedesignshould feature requests be pointed towards  https://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications I have found conflicting advice on the wiki.01:44
Hewduanedesign: If it's a small thing that could be added fairly easily, it should be a wishlist bug. If it's a big deal to implement, it should be a blueprint. Brainstorm is for just that, brainstorming. What is the feature request?01:51
duanedesignI have found a couple over the course of the day. the latest one was  bug# 30772401:54
duanedesign I am new to triage so finding feature request is something I can "handle" so I want to make sure that in the future I am directing people to the right resource01:55
duanedesignHew: I noticed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/CommonTasks under How to deal with Feature Requests there are a couple of sites that it suggest be mentioned. Should those be mentioned in addition to the brainstorm site?01:57
=== Knightlust is now known as Igorot
Hewduanedesign: That page deals with bug triage, so for already reported bugs that are non-trivial feature requests, they should be written as a specification (aka. blueprint). The advice on that page is correct, I don't think brainstorm needs to be added there, it serves a different purpose.02:00
Hewduanedesign: So if a bug has been reported that is requesting some massive change, you should suggest to the reporter that they read those pages and become familiar with specifications.02:02
duanedesignso trivial changes brainstorm and massive changes the specification route02:03
Hewduanedesign: No, brainstorm is something separate.02:05
Hewduanedesign: trivial changes are fine as wishlist bugs02:05
Hewduanedesign: Is this a feature you have in mind, or a bug you are triaging?02:06
duanedesignHew: in the wiki under how to triage it has a standard reply under dealing with feature requests: Since what you submitted is a Feature Request to improve Ubuntu, you are invited to post your idea in Ubuntu Brainstorm02:08
Hewduanedesign: I suppose it depends on what the feature is. I haven't actually seen that response used before.02:11
duanedesignok thank you for the help02:12
duanedesignI am understanding a bit better as I re read your replies02:12
Hewduanedesign: No worries, I only hope I was actually helpful :P02:12

=== the-morris is now known as ajmorris
Hewduanedesign: Feel free to triage those bugs as usual, you can just leave the importance for a member of Bug Control to change later.04:36
duanedesignHew: So I should just leave a comment introducing them to the blueprint process04:42
duanedesignunless it is a trivial feature request, then I would just leave it alone04:42
duanedesignhere is a link to one that I have done. Let me know if you think  this is appropriate. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/30779704:46

macoif its a trivial wishlist bug, you can come here and leave a message asking that it be set to wishlist04:47
Hewmaco: That's already been asked, I was saying it should still be triaged as usual.04:48
Hewduanedesign: Well bug 307797 I don't think needs to have a blueprint, but it needs some clarification as to what the user is requesting. Do they want an option to play a test sound through a specific channel? Are they familiar with speaker-test? Maybe they want something along those lines.04:48

BoogieBooHello all again10:34
BoogieBooI am still unable to setup the VPN connection to a PPTP server!! I installed again Ubuntu 8.10 32 bits, so this is a brand new installation; I installed network-manager-pptp and pptp-linux pakets, I configured a new VPN connection, I restarted Ubuntu, but while trying to conenct I get again: "Connection Failed", This is reallly a CRAP10:35
BoogieBooCan anyone help me, this was working perfectly before Interdipd came up, now I can't use Ubuntu to work, since I can't access my work place10:36
BoogieBooAny help with this anoying bug?10:46
YoBoYhi10:49
YoBoYi'm trying to understand how to help with bug triaging and making a translation of your great tutorial in french, and i have a question, am i on the right chan for this?10:51
BoogieBooI just want to use Ubuntu to work as I used before intrepid, but NOW I CANT, VPN connection: "Connection FAILED"10:52
ArbyYoBoY: you are, but there probably aren't many people around on a sunday morning10:55
YoBoY^^10:55
YoBoYwell it's near 12h here :p i forgot this little time différence10:56
YoBoYi'll ask later :)10:56
randomactionYoBoY: there's also #ubuntu-translators10:56
ArbySundays are always quiet10:56
Arbyalso last week was UDS, a lot of people probably won't be back in action until monday10:57
YoBoYrandomaction: it's not the translation the problem but the comprehension of the process ^^10:57
YoBoYit's the part in Confirming the bugs, where the triager have to change the "Assigned to" field to "Nobody", i don't understand why :p10:59
ArbyYoBoY: if the bug is assigned to you it means you are actively working on it11:00
Arbyby setting it to triaged and unassigning the triager you are telling the developer that it is ready for them to try and find a fix11:01
YoBoYok :) perfect11:01
Arbyotherwise the developer will see the triager assigned and think they intend to fix the bug themselves11:01
YoBoYi add a note in my translation to explain this :) tanks11:02
Arbyno problem11:02
BoogieBooCan anyone please help me with VPN connection?11:03
BoogieBooI have been trying to solve this for weeks11:03
BoogieBooThis is a deadend, that's my filling using UBuntu/Linux, you cant find official help, and on IRC you have to be lucky...11:04
YoBoYbye, see you soon ^^11:05

xubuntusdiciao maco so di ubuntu-it ma questo è il canale dei bugs?22:35
macooh um...:(22:37
charlie-tca!it22:37
ubottuVai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare)22:37
xubuntusdihello MACO are aware of the channel ubuntu-it but this is the channel of bugs?22:38
xubuntusdiExcuse me22:38
macoNon penso che ci sia una scanalatura dell'insetto per italiano. Abbiamo appena questo, ma usiamo solitamente l'inglese. E sto usando il Internet per tradurre questo.22:38
xubuntusdiI wanted to participate segnalezione some bugs :\  :p22:39
xubuntusdiI wanted to participate to report some bugs22:40
macobug reports are supposed to be done in english. but if you pair up with an english-speaker in #ubuntu-it (ex: LjL), you can get your bug translated22:40
macobugs go on http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu22:40
LjLxubuntusdi: hai bisogno?22:44
xubuntusdiyes but it has taken me not to post to this channel22:47
LjLxubuntusdi: per un minuto possiamo fare un'eccezione, penso22:47
xubuntusdiespecially in Italian22:48
xubuntusdi:D22:48
macoxubuntusdi: that's why i told LjL to visit. he speaks italian.22:48
LjLxubuntusdi, quindi dimmi pure, se posso ti aiuto, se non posso traduco per gli altri22:51
xubuntusdi problemi con scheda wifi ipn2220 , dopo un testing di un anno sulle versioni 7.04 7.10 ho notato che ndiswrapper...22:52
xubuntusdinon viene scritto in modprobe22:53
LjLxubuntusdi: ok, di wireless ne so poco o niente, so giusto che ndiswrapper server per usare i driver di windows22:53
xubuntusdianche se edito manualmente non ne vuole sapere di avviarsi all'avvio22:53
LjLxubuntusdi: ma in qualche modo alla fine riesci a caricarlo?22:54
LjLtipo con modprobe?22:54
xubuntusdicon 8.04 e 8.10 il problema sembra l'abbiano risolto solo in ubuntu ma non xubuntu22:54
LjLxubuntusdi: mi sembrerebbe strano però, se ho capito bene si tratta semplicemente di moduli del kernel... che differenza dovrebbe esserci tra ubuntu e xubuntu?22:55
xubuntusdiil problema che malgrado la modifica del network-manager il dchpclient non và più22:55
xubuntusdicredo che sia il solito problema di ubuntu che ha con il protocollo wpa22:56
xubuntusdio con rete fastweb??22:56
LjLxubuntusdi: fastweb non vedo che possa entrarci, sul WPA ammetto che non so niente22:58
xubuntusdiinquanto fatica a connettersi e dopo pochi intanti si disconnette, con la possibilità che non si riconnetta più22:58
LjLxubuntusdi: ma xubuntu usa network manager?22:58
xubuntusdisi22:58
xubuntusdipurtroppo non capisco perchè continuino a mettercelo invece di wicd22:59
LjLxubuntusdi: senti, fammi una ricapitolazione22:59
LjLxubuntusdi: descrivimi il problema e su che sistemi l'hai avuto come se io non ne sapessi assolutamente niente23:00
xubuntusdicmq adesso come dicevo prima denoto un problema (e pure grosso) di dhcpclient23:00
LjL(cosa non molto lontana dalla realtà)23:00
xubuntusdiok23:01
xubuntusdidevi sapere che la scheda wifi con chip ipn2220 e un STR....23:02
xubuntusdiinfatti funziona solo con driver di windws23:02
xubuntusdiquindi si è costretti ad usare ndiswrapper per farla funzionare, purtroppo però non sempre ubuntu memorizza nel modprobe l'avvio automatico del driver della scheda23:04
xubuntusdiquindi la maggior parte delle volte bignona avviarla da terminale23:05
xubuntusdidicevo che questo problema con la versione 8.10 sembra l'abbiano risolto su ubutnu ma xubuntu no23:06
LjLxubuntusdi: ok, primo, per avviarla da terminale come fai? secondo, dove hai letto/sentito che su ubuntu è risolto? (se c'è già un bug aperto, sarebbe meglio sfruttarlo)23:06
xubuntusdiin più con le nuove versioni ho problemi a stabilire il collegamento con il mio ruter di fastweb sembra che c sia un bug nel dhcpclient non credi?23:07
xubuntusdiquindi?23:08
xubuntusdisfruttarlo?23:09
LjLxubuntusdi, quindi rispondi alla domanda, primo :)23:09
xubuntusdiok23:09
xubuntusdidepmod -a23:12
xubuntusdindiswrapper -m23:12
LjLxubuntusdi: uhm, è necessario anche il depmod -a se no non va? :o23:13
xubuntusdie infine modprobe ndiswrapper23:15
xubuntusdia questo punto la scheda parte23:16
xubuntusdima dopo il riavvio è come se non avessi fatto niente23:16
xubuntusdidevo ripetere tutto23:16
LjLcapito23:16
LjLxubuntusdi: faccio un riassuntino in inglese per gli altri e poi cerco se c'è già qualcosa su launchpad, ok?23:17
xubuntusdiok23:17
LjLxubuntusdi has a wifi card with IPN2220 chip, which needs ndiswrapper to work, but most of the times the driver isn't loaded automatically when Ubuntu is started23:18
LjLso most of the time it has to be started manually from the terminal23:18
LjLit "seems" that the problem has been solved on Intrepid / Ubuntu, but not Xubuntu23:18
LjL(this probably deserves a search on the bug reports)23:18
LjLto load it manually, it's depmod -a ; ndiswrapper -m ; modprobe ndiswrapper23:18
LjLthe other thing is that when it does connect, it disconnects very easily - he thinks there might be a (separate?) problem with dhcpclient23:24
macodisconnects are not dhclient's fault. that's just driver instability23:25
macoit's probably losing packets23:25
macothat makes network manager think its disconnected, and then it starts over trying to reconnect23:26
LjLxubuntusdi: maco dice che le disconnessioni non sono colpa di dhclient, è semplicemente il driver che è instabile, probabilmente perde dei pacchetti. per questo motivo network manager pensa di essersi disconnesso e riprova a connettersi da capo23:28
xubuntusdiquindi cosa faccio23:29
LjLxubuntusdi: be' visto che sei qui, suppongo che l'intenzione fosse di segnalare un bug?23:30
xubuntusdisi infatti23:31
xubuntusdicosa mi consigli di fare?23:32
crimsunthat seems a bit odd, really. Are you certain it's not a race condition?23:34
LjLxubuntusdi: fammi fumare una sigaretta poi ti preparo un bug report e te lo metto in pastebin23:34
LjLcrimsun, i hope you're asking maco, because i haven't the slighest idea how to translate "race condition" ;P23:34
crimsunDo we have dmesgs and /var/log/daemon.logs from Ubuntu 8.10 and Xubuntu 8.10 to compare?23:34
xubuntusdianche a me LjL23:34
xubuntusdimi devo spostare per qualche minuto23:35
xubuntusdidevo fumare fuori23:35
LjLcrimsun: not from me, i'm on Hardy, i'll tell him to get his Xubuntu ones23:35
pckchemHey does anyone have the launchpad greasemonkey scripts working in Firefox 3.0.4 ?23:35
macopckchem: yes, but they break the +filebug pages23:36
LjLxubuntusdi: crimsun dice se puoi prepararci anche un paste di /var/log/daemon.log (magari subito dopo aver connesso la scheda e aspettato che si disconnetta da sola)23:36
pckchemmaco: Hmm, well I just got around to installing them since I installed intrepid, but they are not working :(23:44
macopckchem: the stock reply one works fine for me...23:45
macopckchem: the one for showing people's group icons does too23:45
pckchemmaco: Hmm.... I'll try to get them to work again. Maybe I installed them wrong...23:47

macoen america, "cosí" es l'nome d'un cafe23:52
macopckchem: oh, interesting23:53
LjLxubuntusdi: lo so, ma siccome avevo trovato un altro bug sul chip ipn2220 in cui il tizio diceva che aveva dovuto mettere quel modulo in blacklist...23:53
xubuntusdise l'ho metto nella blacklist di sicuro non me l'ho carica all'avvio23:54
