GSMXhello, I have a question about bug #353120 what status should it get? "confirmed" (because the dependencies of firefox-addons are not correct(require 3.0)) or "invalid" (because it will be fixed when 3.5 arrives)10:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 353120 in firefox-3.1 "Please make firefox-3.1 Provide: firefox" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35312010:57
GSMXhmm... i will mark it invalid, as the problem will be fixed when 3.5 comes11:02
theseinfeldGSMX mark it won't fix11:22
theseinfeldas it is already fixed in the new version11:22

asacdholbach: ?11:52
asacdholbach: how can i change package ? is that just changing some "Bug" field?11:53
dholbachasac: can you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand11:54
dholbachasac: ah, now I get it - hang on11:56
dholbachasac: for task in bug.infotable:11:57
dholbach    task.affects = "gedit"11:57
dholbachthekorn: ^ is that about right?11:57
asacdholbach: hmm so i can first match the "affects" if iw ant to change only a certain task?11:59
asacok i will try that11:59
asacthanks11:59
dholbachthere is not "the source package of the bug", there's only "the source package one of the tasks of the bug" :-/12:00
dholbachbut I guess it makes sense12:00
asacyeah sure12:00
asaci wondered about tasks right after asking12:00
asacas long as all bugs have at least one task it works for me12:00
asacdholbach: is launchpadlib easier/better/faster ?12:01
dholbachasac: definitely less prone to breakage  :)12:01
asacgood. i will stick with the old approach12:03
asaci dont want to give up the few scripts i have ;)12:03

santana1its just that no one ever says anthing in here14:56
hggdh?? this is an IRC chat, santana1. People only say anything is there is something to be said14:57
santana1like wat exactly? what do we say in here. Ive been in here for quite a while and i have heard-nothing14:58
seb128if you have a question ask it and people might reply14:58
santana1ahhhhhhhh I seee14:58

santana1so i should shut up now?14:59

MagicFab___maco ping15:04
macoMagicFab___: whats up?15:05
santana1alright team im signin off for now- gotta eat breakfast. Be back in a few!15:05
MagicFab___hey there. I cleaned up many flashblock duplicates.15:05
MagicFab___I end up with this:15:05
MagicFab___https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashblock/+bugs15:05
MagicFab___should I mark intrepid and jaunty bugs as dupes of the Hardy bug ? And then target architectures in the master bug ?15:06
macoim surprised flashblock crashes firefox 3, rather than releasing it and flash doing the job15:06
MagicFab___i've never come across something similar - a security update from FF broke Flashblock in all releases - that's why15:06
santana1mark them each to ther own releases15:06
santana1this is more of a firefox bug than ours15:07
macowell you only need one bug, just use the nominate for release button15:07
santana1but this is mozillas goof not ours15:07
MagicFab___it's really a flashblock prob. - version from extensions (not packaged) is fine15:07
MagicFab___maco- nominate! ok, thanks.15:07
macosantana1: unless flashblock was doing something silly and mozilla just told it "no, dont do stupid stuff"15:07
santana1so the author is responsible/15:08
MagicFab___maco, I think it's along those lines although I can't judge stupid or not :)15:08
MagicFab___yes, he seems unfamiliar with Launchpad, he was tracking +10 bugs all the same, none marked dupes15:08
hggdh^^ +115:08
MagicFab___ok, one last question.15:08
MagicFab___Because hardy is LTS, any chance this would bea good candidate for SRU ?15:09
MagicFab___and.. any chance the fix (new version packaged) gets  in Jaunty at this point ?15:09
santana1well gotta go eat breakfast -be back in a while!15:10
hggdhfor Hardy: it might be, if the impact is widespread, and there are not that many changes that make it a, er, new version15:10
hggdhfor Jaunty, if it is a packaging error, then I guess it would be acceptable to request an exception15:11
hggdhMagicFab___, anyway, you can propose them, and justify why. The worst that can happen is it will be refused ;-)15:14
MagicFab___It's serious enough that I think web browsing with any flash involved isn't practical without flashblock15:15
hggdhthere you go.15:15
MagicFab___hmm this feels like my first week at bug reporting ;) I notice the master bug is now nominated for backports. I nominated for actual releases.15:16
MagicFab___This is the result:15:16
MagicFab___https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashblock/+bug/23915115:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 239151 in flashblock "Hardy: Flashblock crashes Firefox 3" [Medium,In progress]15:16
MagicFab___Does that look OK or could it be better ?15:16
MagicFab___Nominating for Intrepid backports makes sense, but not for INtrepid, ah well.15:18

partymolaGood afternoon16:19
partymolaI have just downloaded the Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop i386 iso, and have burned it in a USB pendrive. I am booting from the USB drive, and trying to run it as live mode, but after the menu shows, pick english, and tell it go to live, i get an "ata1: softreset failed (device not ready)" error, and the computer kind of hangs. It really makes disk activity for one second, then two seconds quiet, then again one second harddisk activity, th16:22
partymolaen again stopped, and no more messages are shown. Can it debugged somehow? :/16:22
partymolai have tried booting with noacpi, and many other boot switches, but they didn't work either. By the way, 8.10 works perfect in this same laptop.16:23
partymolaand I get the "ata1: softereset failed (device not ready)" error at boot, but doesn't seem to make any harm, since it actually boots and performs well.16:25

jbarnesbryce: hi, been looking at bugs this morning18:11
brycejbarnes: cool.  let me know if there's changes we should snag, I've been pulling upstream patches for -intel the last several days18:14
askandI remember seeing a nice tool that helps you get the right format in the changelogfile? what was that?18:17
brycejbarnes: I posted a 'Ten Most Wanted' list to the ubuntu-x mailing list (also sent to yingying):  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2009-April/000481.html18:18

james_waskand: were you thinking of dch/debchangelog?18:30
james_whey bryce18:30
bryceheya james_w18:31
askandjames_w: yes :)18:31
askandHow is bugs regarding "personal preference" so to speak solved? Who has the final saying?18:32
greg-gaskand: example?18:33
greg-gif it is interface, GNOME has a Human Interface Guidelines document18:34
askandgreg-g: For example, there is an ongoing discussion about removing gnome-pilot from default install, it is easily fixed/not fixed but who takes the decision on what is to be done?18:35
hggdh(online poll): should we change the dpkg message "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'" to "... run '*sudo dpkg --configure -a'"? A lot of beginners do not use 'sudo', since the message does not state it is needed18:35
greg-gaskand: I don't know about that discussion.  In the end the team responsible for that part of ubuntu would probably agree on something (like the Desktop Experience people or Server Team, whoever is pertinent)18:36
askandhggdh:  Hm, on that issue I would vote to somehow work around that and fic that issue by clicking a button instead, if not I would vote yes18:36
askandgreg-g: ok thanks18:37
greg-ghggdh: or the error message could say more about what "superuse privilege" is18:37
james_whggdh: I thought that one had been changed?18:37
greg-gadd an "r" up there18:37
hggdhjames_w, I am not sure -- let me check on current Jaunty18:38
hggdhgreg-g, "r" added ;-)18:38
james_wat least something like that was changed, so if that one is still the same then changing it would seem to be in line with the other changes18:38
james_waskand: that's the kind of thing that comes up on the mailing lists18:39
james_waskand: basically it comes down to convincing someone with the power to do it18:39
askand james_w: ah, I send some candy to the man with the power :) However regarding the mailinglist, I can post to them without being a member but can I answer to a post without being a member?18:40
james_wyes18:40
james_wit will be moderated though18:40
james_w-devel-discuss is unmoderated18:40
james_wlet me look up which this should be on18:41
askandjames_w: I couldn't figure out how to do that last time18:41
james_wyou can just reply to the list18:41
james_wif your client doesn't have that feature then reply-all will approximate it18:41
james_wtrimming out all but the list will save you from having people complain to you about duplicates :-)18:42
james_wif you aren't subscribed you can request that people Cc you so that you can read the replies18:42
askandjames_w: but if I'm just browsing the archives here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-April/thread.html18:42
james_wah18:42
james_wthat's harder as they don't show the message ids18:42
james_wand some clients make it hard to reply to them anway18:42
james_wI think you can download mboxes and futz around with that18:43
askandjames_w: I see, so I should sign up to the mailinglist, get the mails and then reply to them as a regular mail?18:43
james_wlooks like that question is better suited to ubuntu-devel-discuss18:44
james_wthat works, but only if you sign up before the mail you want to reply to18:44
james_wbut you can request Ccs if it is a reply to you that you want to reply to18:45
askandjames_w: Yes ubuntu-devel-discuss seems to be more correct :)18:45
askandjames_w: done, thanks for helping18:56

xqgreetings guys, is there a definitive bug with the usb boot version of jaunty beta? there are multiple bug reports for usb-creator and Unetbootin; however, the more I test it out it seems to be with the actual kernel in the Jaunty Beta build.21:58
tormodjbarnes: cool to see you here. I guess you have been bugged about bug 348428 already?21:59

jbarneswill try to reproduce in a minute22:00
xqi'm just curious, because if so we should probably look into it and/or at least list it on the TechnicalOverview for users installing the beta build22:00
jbarnestormod: ah fake bufmgr... yuck22:03

jbarnestormod: hm those seem harmless...22:07
* bryce waves to mdz22:10
tormodjbarnes: actually that comment could have been about the XV crashes (although those commits should fix that) and not to this non-xv crash22:10
jbarnestormod: seems like the fake_evict_all call in LeaveVT might make any subsequent unrefs fail though22:10
tormodit seems the first unref succeds (vs_state_bo) but sf_state_bo fails22:13
tormodor is the first one also double free but just not detected by glibc?22:14
mdzbryce: hi22:14
jbarnespossibly, but there were other frees before that too, like from batch_teardown22:14
tormodyes batch_teardown is run just after fake_evict_all22:16
tormodso would it help to move gen4_render_state_cleanup above the fake_evict_all ?22:19
jbarnesmight be worth a try...  could just be a bug in the fake bufmgr though too22:19
jbarnesoh heh comment 49 might be correct :)22:21
brycejbarnes: is there a way to detect if it's already been freed?22:21
jbarnesbryce: mainly the glibc free debugging :)22:22
jbarnesseems possible that the evict_all is to blame, since it will free blocks w/o nulling them22:35
jbarnesbut it only frees stuff on the lru...22:35

brycemdz: how about duping 353245, 342125 to 339555, as I think 339555 is a more tractable bug report than 25209422:43
mdzbryce: ok22:44
MTecknologyThere's a bug in vim, when you update, it wants to update a file in /etc that a user never changed, but the update process thinks that the user made a change. What makes this happen?22:44
bryceI'm encouraging people on 252094 to break out individual performance issues as they can be identified as discrete problems22:44
mdzbryce: done (whee, shiny ajax magic)22:45
bryce:-)22:45
mdzbryce: yeah, I didn't notice that until after I'd duped them, which is why I asked22:45
gnorrisCan someone tell me how to i get informatoin for a bug. Is there like a database online or is it sent to me?22:45
brycemdz unfortunately it has a bug that makes it hard to undupe (at least it did yesterday)22:45
mdzbryce: worked fine for me, just emptying the box22:46
brycemdz: you might find this of interest - http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/totals-2009-Q1.svg22:47
