phixxorhello, I have a problem with wireless that didn't exist in 8.04, but I'm not sure if I should file a bug report, and if so, what under. May I describe the symptoms here?01:21
macogo ahead01:22
phixxorAll right. I use a linksys wusb54gv2, and in 8.04 I used ndiswrapper and network manager to connect, which worked fine. But when I go to 8.10 (first by update, second time with a fresh install and no custom setup of ndiswrapper), network manager connects to my network automatically, stays connected for a few minutes, and then disconnects unable to reconnect01:24
macoso support for the device was added, but it's really poor support?01:26
phixxoryes that describes it01:27
phixxorbut even when I was using ndiswrapper, it had poor support01:27
macowell ndiswrapper is a hack :P01:30
macoideally we have native support that works01:30
phixxormaco: all right01:31
phixxorso where should I report this in launchpad?01:32
macolinux01:34
phixxorall right, thanks01:37
phixxorwill do01:37
macophixxor: oh, please try with a 9.04 alpha 3 live cd as well01:42
phixxormaco: good idea, I will01:43
phixxorit might already be fixed :D01:43
macophixxor: exactly01:44

b52wranglergood evening, anyone here who can offer help with a problem encountered during an ibex install on a toshiba satellite03:05

b52wranglerhi tcole03:19
b52wranglerjust talked my brother into installing ibex on his windoze toshiba satellite and after installing fine, he can boot, surf web for about a minute, then laptop shuts down uncommanded...03:20
tcolehuh03:21
b52wranglertcole: i'm thinking a perceived overheat03:21
tcoleyes, that is plausible03:21
b52wrangleryet he had not problems while running his other OS03:22
b52wranglerwith overheating03:22

b52wranglerhe was impressed with how everything just worked though for the short time he was able to use it03:24

ubottuLaunchpad bug 322604 in ubuntu "Ubuntu 8.10 Password Bug" [Undecided,New]05:12
hggdhyes, I am looking at it right now05:12
hggdhhum. old *ix implementations were limited to up to 8 characters in a password05:13
cornucopicmhm..05:14
macohggdh: pam fixed that05:14
hggdhthis is controlled by pam05:14
hggdhmaco, yes05:14
macooh wait hrm05:14
macoin 8.04 pam worked right and only entering the first 8 was not sufficient05:15
hggdhbut the description on the bug sort of suggests the reporter is using the old system (i.e., someone changed the default pam-password)05:15
hggdhI think it was when crypt was used05:15
macowell in 9.04 that does not work05:15
hggdhI know AIX had it05:15
macoi just tried to use sudo and only enter teh first 8 char, and pam works just fine05:15
cornucopicI couldn't reproduce the behaviour on 8.1005:15
cornucopiceither.05:16
macomaybe they removed pam in their system>05:16
hggdhyes, because you are probably using sha51205:16
hggdhor they removed pam -- but I would expect this to break a lot of other things05:16
cornucopicWill the authentication mechanism work without pam?05:17
macoi think itd just fall back to shadow...05:17
macoer, well that's just a guess05:17
cornucopicin that case, it will use the first 8 character?05:17
hggdhyes05:17
hggdh(at least, it did)05:18
macoive never tried removing pam...05:18
macogot a vm?05:18
hggdhit would be interesting to find out what is on /etc/pam.d/05:18
hggdhheh05:18
cornucopicmaci. i got05:18
cornucopicmaco, a debian VM..05:18
cornucopicmaco, planning to setup a Ubuntu one..05:19
macoi havent gotten around to configuring kvm on here05:19
macomostly because i intend to reinstall....um.....soon05:19
macoi need to get back to 64bit since all my vms are 64bit and i cant run 64bit vms on a 32bit host05:19
cornucopicmaco, not with 'kvm' i guess...05:20
macokvm's just what i use for vms05:20
macoit doesnt allow 64-on-3205:21
macoif it did, id load my vm up, upgrade it to jaunty and try05:21
macoer...oh wait this bug is reported on 8.10, i wouldnt even have to update it05:21
cornucopicYeah..its on 8.10..05:21
hggdhI will have to read back on pam. Long time I left it05:22
hggdhslangasek will know everything about it, anyways05:24
hggdhbut, basically: if the pam configuration was, er, adjusted, they might get this behaviour05:25
cornucopicI will probably leave that comment on the bug..after a bit of exploring..05:25
hggdhgood idea. Anyway, this is a good example for my "not necessarily"05:26
macoi commented asking if they'd removed any parts of pam05:26
* hggdh *has* to get back to pam05:27
hggdhsigh05:27
cornucopicmaco, cool.05:27
cornucopichggdh, Any off hand link for PAM- except the Wikipedia entry?05:38

mangilimicHi! Does anybody know how can I handle this bug #275929 ? I understand the problem that the user reported but I think that this sounds like a support request, not really a bug report! Is it correct to close this bug and convert it into a question? Thanks in advance!08:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 275929 in compiz "Compiz doesn't allow me to move windows beyond the upper limit of the screen" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27592908:34
davmor2mangilimic: Does he not just need to switch off the snap to edges option08:36
mangilimicdavmor2: the issue is very easy to solve. As you cab see BarryW wrote that unchecking constraint Y in the Move Window Plugin solves the problem.08:39
mangilimicActually I don't know if switching off the snap to edget option, does solve that. But I've tried to switch off the "constraint Y" option and I can move a window wherever I want.08:41
mangilimicMy question is: which is the best way to triage this kind of reports? (very sorry for awful english!)08:42
davmor2mangilimic: Yes I was thinking of the wrong one :) Could you not set it as a wishlist bug?08:42
mangilimicdavmor2: so in these cases is it better to set the status of the bug to confirmed and importance to whishlist?08:43
mangilimic(I cannot set it as a whishlist bug because I'm not a member of the bug control group)08:44
davmor2mangilimic: Just a suggestion.  Being as it is a optional extra and this reporter seems to be the only person with a massive interest in it. Plus it keeps the bug open if more people wish to have it as a default.  You could suggest that the reporter use brainstorm to try and get the defaults for Ubuntu change as the other option.09:01
mangilimicI understand. Thanks davmor2!09:03

CzubekHi all.16:49
CzubekI have a question: What "Nominate for release" button on launchpad means?17:00
hggdhthat you would like to have the issue resolved on the release you point out17:01
hggdhCzubek, ^^17:02
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
Czubekhggdh: so, when I'm reading bug description, and I know that this bug occurs in supported release, then I should mark those release via "Nominate for release"?17:05
hggdhnot really: "nominate for release" should actually be used only when the issue is serious enough to justify a stable release update (SRU), or inclusing on the current development release17:07
hggdhCzubek, see above. Usually minor issues do not warrant a SRU17:08
hggdhCzubek, of course, "serious enough" is a subjective thing. So: if you consider the issue "serious enough", then go ahead and mark it; this will be eventually reviewed, and decided17:10
Czubekhggdh: You mean this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When17:11
jgoguenquestion about https://launchpad.net/bugs/232340, the Mozilla bug for that was marked as duplicate of another bug that was marked Invalid...should the Thunderbird component of this bug be marked Invalid too, or left as Confirmed?17:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 232340 in mozilla-thunderbird "CaCert Certificates not installed" [Undecided,Confirmed]17:12
hggdhCzubek, yes17:16
Czubektnx :)17:16
hggdhjgoguen, this is a good question. The request makes sense, but the MF has put in place the requirements for CA inclusion, and cacert.org has not yet fulfilled them17:23
hggdhjgoguen, you can add in a comment summarising what is going on wrt Mozilla Foundation and cacert.org, and keep the Ubuntu task open as wishlist17:24
jgoguenhggdh: can you change it to Wishlist?  I'm not on bugcontrol17:24
hggdhjgoguen, will do17:24
jgoguenhggdh: my other question about that one, since the bug linked was marked as resolved/duplicate should the LP bug be updated to point to the other one, or left to the Mozilla bug it currently points at?17:25
hggdhjgoguen, in this case I would leave it pointing to the current MF bug -- this gives a summary of the request, and points to why it has been closed as duplicate.17:26
jgoguenok, thanks :)17:26
hggdhjgoguen, most of the times, we would point it to the original upstream bug, though17:26
jgoguenso in general, if the upstream bug is only marked as a dupe, update to point to the other bug, but if there's explanation in the duplicate then leave it17:27
jgoguenok17:27
jgoguenthanks hggdh17:27

mangilimicI've got a doubt. Bug #289966 . A user reported a problem, and he could find a workaround which fixed his bug. There are also other users which complains about this problem and they state that the workaround solves this issue! Indeed, which is the best status for marking this bug? Confirmed? or Invalid?

mangilimichggdh: I agree so, is it correct to mark the bug as confirmed?17:39
hggdhgiven the others, I guess yes. It would be even better if you yourself could reproduce it.17:40
hggdhmangilimic, you can set as confirmed, and update the description as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Description.17:40

BuckWildHello everyone.  I upgraded my 8.04 installation to the latest set of linux packages, and I get a kernel panic when I try to boot into it.  I'm running an Acer Aspire One netbook.  I believe this problem affects more than just me because I was able to find this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=663754918:06
BuckWildI think the problem is a bug in one of those packages.  When I boot into 2.6.24-22, I am able to boot the computer fine and everything functions normally.  I just wanted to see if there was a way I could make sure someone is aware of the problem going forward, because it looks like it affects both 8.04 and 8.10 users on the Acer Aspire One18:07
