AmpelbeinBigAl50: I would guide the reporter to request a freeze exception (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess)00:18
BigAl50Okay thanks00:19
AmpelbeinBigAl50: And seeing the author already mentionen FFe in the description, i guess he knows about it.00:19
AmpelbeinThe report seems ok as a freeze exception to me, someone from the releaseteam will surely look over the report.00:20
hggdhyes, it's bddebian00:22
bddebianWas it not correct?00:23
dtchen_yeah, i would thinks the debian devel knows what he's doing ;)00:23
dtchen_(misspelling intentional!)00:23
hggdhit would help if one of the devs with bugcontrol accepted it00:25
* hggdh thought to have written the nick in question mispelled, but dyslexia got through00:26
BigAl50Should I leave the status as new or should it be marked invalid or something else?00:27
Ryan52bdmurray: did you get my message from like a week or two ago?00:27
greg-gBigAl50: don't do anything to it, please. It is a workflow bug.00:28

BigAl50Okay, I'll leave as is, thanks for all the help this is all new to me00:29

bddebianNah, I don't know anything anymore :)00:39
Ryan52bddebian: that was...random.00:41
bddebianSomeone explain wtf is different about the FeatureFreeze that's on the wiki??00:42
bddebianAre we not supposed to file a freeze exception bug before uploading or synching anymore???00:52
greg-gbddebian: no, you are fine, there was no need for the comment on your FFe00:53
hggdhyes we are00:53
hggdhmeaning, bddebian you are all set and correct00:53
bddebianThough I realize I didn't add the pbuilder log00:53

vbgunzfailed to resume: error 26214419:53
vbgunzam googling it19:53
vbgunzmaybe a kernel parameter solves it?19:53
IntuitiveNipplevbgunz: Now you've managed to capture the activity log I've got something to investigate :019:53
vbgunzI need to find my bug to attach too on lp19:53
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: ok, I attached it19:56
IntuitiveNipplethank you. It looks like the disk on ata1 doesn't respond to the START command.19:56
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: everything starts up just fine. how can I go around that or force it to start. it obviously works just not from resume by default :(19:57
vbgunzI found a few google hits that say this -> need pci=nomsi or ahci fails to resume ... I am not using AHCI though (I think) just IDE. I can replace IDE with AHCI. I did but noticed no differences *except* the system would sometimes fail to start all together19:59
IntuitiveNippleAHCI is being used.20:02
IntuitiveNippleCan you add to the bug the result of: ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/*20:03
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: ok, attached20:05
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: if AHCI is being used, how then do I say to use ACPI?20:05
IntuitiveNipplenotice these bits:20:06
IntuitiveNipplepci-0000:00:09.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> sda20:06
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: I am really glad this is going somewhere :)20:07
amrlimaJust a question to clear a doubt: is having log files and core dumps, as it says in debugging procedures, enought to confirm a bug?20:07
IntuitiveNipple00:09.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] SATA Controller (non-AHCI mode) [10de:0ad0] (rev a2)20:07
vbgunzfrigging awesome, what do I need to do, I will do it!20:07
IntuitiveNippleSo, sda is on the controller at 09.0 (notice it says non-AHCI mode)20:07
IntuitiveNipple[    1.356522] ahci 0000:00:09.0: version 3.020:08
vbgunznot sure IntuitiveNipple, I see that but have no idea how to fix it. I have acpi enabled in bios otherwise I cannot boot. I saw 2 options for AHCI in bios but they both instead say IDE. not sure how to tell Kubuntu to suspend using only acpi :/ am I way off here?20:09
vbgunzI never really changed anything in Kubuntu about suspend. the only thing I can think up is the /etc/defaults/acpi-support file *but* thats been default pretty much forever :(20:10
vbgunzoh, I once played with systemsettings > powerdemon is it?20:11
IntuitiveNippleYou're getting way ahead, and confusing yourself with talk of ACPI at the same time20:11
vbgunzno, just power options, sorry20:11
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: holy cow. first time ever. suspend the first time to ram worked... I just added the pci=nomsi kernel parameter20:36
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: is this good or no? should I be aiming for the cause here? is there a better solution?20:37
IntuitiveNipplevbgunz: See my recent comment to the bug, and please report your finding that pci=nomsi works. I think we'll push the bug report upstream to the kernel bugzilla20:40
IntuitiveNipplevbgunz: See my recent comment to the bug, and please report your finding that pci=nomsi works. I think we'll push the bug report upstream to the kernel bugzilla20:41
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: ok. doing that now20:42
IntuitiveNipplevbgunz: There was talk about this issue on the linux-ide mailing list but at that time the person interested in it couldn't find a decent report about it.20:43
IntuitiveNippleI'll email them to look at your report20:43
vbgunzI would do anything I can to help. I just need someone smarter than me to walk me through what needs to be done20:43
IntuitiveNippleIt looks like there may be a bug/quirk that the driver needs to address.20:46
vbgunzok, will try suspend one more time... do you think this would actually work with suspend to disk? I always had problems there too20:46
IntuitiveNippleIt may well.20:47
vbgunzupdated grub to make it permanent20:47
vbgunzhey IntuitiveNipple, seriously if there is anything I can do. I'll do it20:48
IntuitiveNippleKeep the bug report updated with anything you discover, progress made, etc.20:48
vbgunzI mean everything is great now. wow. I am so happy. I just hope it keeps working. I heard suspend/resume is so flaky it just fails at some point... will try again now, then finally a suspend to disk...20:49
mrooneybdmurray: does Julien's bugcontrol app need anything else to be approved?20:51
bdmurraymrooney: a couple of days to get everyone sufficient time to comment20:53
bdmurrays/get/give/20:53
vbgunzok, going to try suspending to disk... I hope this works20:54
mrooneybdmurray: ahh okay, sounds good20:57
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: 3 suspend to rams, 3 successful resumes. 1 suspend to disk. 1 misrerable failure :P21:03
BUGabundostill at it?21:03
vbgunzI think it just turned off... heh, the last thing I saw was my ralink 2500 failed to enter state 1 of 16 or so... phy0 -> ralink2500... I forgot exactly21:03
IntuitiveNipplevbgunz: take a break whilst you're ahead... try again later.21:04
vbgunzBUGabundo: yeah. the pci=nomsi kernel parameter works for me just fine. awesome actually... the other day in Windows Server 2008 trial, I suspended to an IDE disk *but* was envious when it just came back up in perfect order :P21:04
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: haha, yeah21:05
vbgunzI'm happy :)21:05
IntuitiveNippleI've linked to the upstream bug report, so you might get some requests for information21:05

maxbRecently I've discovered in a regression in the population of /dev/disk/by-uuid/, what bit of code is responsible for actually obtaining the disk uuids to stick in there?21:06
vbgunzIntuitiveNipple: oh. just one more question. actually I'd appreciate if anyone could help out. when I resume. I'd like to resume into a locked screen. is this possible?21:08
IntuitiveNippleThat is usually configured by the screensaver preferences21:08

bcurtiswxseb128: oh, i was just seeing if you were there.. apologies.. my main question, for bug  #335696 you mentioned using apport instead of going through the tedious data gather that i did.  Just for future reference to myself, is there a page that shows how to use apport (or how to instruct the user to use it for their bug) ?22:28

tuxmaniacoops I was wrong :)22:29
seb128tuxmaniac: no it's not but I do the same because it's annoying to reply when you don't know what people want and if that's going to take you an hour of discussion or 30 seconds22:29
seb128bcurtiswx: on stable you can enable apport by tweaking /etc/default/apport22:30
bcurtiswxseb128: ok, thats what i was wondering. Thanks!22:31
bcurtiswxseb128: i believe apport allows the user to append the information to a current bug.. but im not 100%.. is this correct?22:34
seb128bcurtiswx: only in jaunty22:34
bcurtiswxseb128: so how should a stable release report be added to an open bug report?22:35
seb128usually we just mark the non apport bug as duplicate22:35

mrooneybdmurray: do you think in the future those hooks can eliminate a lot of the stock responses like "please attach xxx and yyy"?23:29
mrooneyIt would be cool if when you clicked the "this bug affects me too" it attempted to collect that23:29
bdmurraymrooney: yes, so you'd ask a reporter to run 'apport-collect bugnumber' and it'd grab the information the package hook looks for.  This makes things much easier for the reporter23:30
bcurtiswxwhen will this be backported to 8.10/8.04? (i know im being anxious, but that really helps triagers too).23:32
bdmurrayI talked to pitti about this and apport-collect should be able to be run on 8.10 / 8.0423:33
bdmurraypeople could just get it from http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/scripts/apport-collect23:33
bdmurrayHowever, the package hook for cups doesn't exist in those releases23:34
bdmurrayapport-collect would only be useful on previous releases with some packages23:34
bcurtiswxis there a list of which somewhere?23:34
bdmurrayif you are running 8.10 you could look in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/23:34
bcurtiswxok23:34
bdmurraybut there is no list in the wiki but that'd be a great thing to have!23:35
bcurtiswxagreed23:35
bdmurraymrooney: it's pretty easy to write the package hooks too23:38
mrooneybdmurray: ah so I looked in that dir, does apport just look for a literal package name match hook?23:41
bdmurraymrooney: or for binary packages produced by a source package23:42

bdmurrayandresmujica: right so there is no wiki page documenting the apport package hooks23:51
andresmujicais wiki page about that apport hooks?23:51
andresmujicaahhh23:51
bdmurrayI'd be happy to help someone write one though23:51
andresmujicai would do it :) but i would need a base to start...23:52
bdmurrayI think just having the packagename and the release the hook appeared in would be helpful23:52
