| dawn | Hello! I am a new user to Ubuntu. :) I just tried to update my system (to 7.10) using the Update Manager, and it told me to report a bug. I'm not sure how to navigate the online forums for Ubuntu bugs, so I thought I would bring the report here and see if anyone could help me. | 04:58 |
| nelhage | Where should I report a bug on the Intrepid->Jaunty upgrade? | 06:27 |
| sbeattie | nelhage: launchpad, same as for any other bug in ubuntu. | 06:31 |
| nelhage | Sorry; I meant is there a specific place for upgrade bugs, or does it go against the relevant package? | 06:31 |
| sbeattie | nelhage: the relevant package is a good place to start; update-manager may be appropriate as well if it's a dependency ordering issue. | 06:33 |
| nelhage | Ah, after some digging it looks like my bug is #354228. Great timing! | 06:34 |
| nelhage | (I suspect that was caused by the fix to #353251, which went in literally hours ago) | 06:35 |
| andersk | Can someone on bugcontrol please mark bug 354228 as importance Critical? It completely breaks Jaunty installs and upgrades. | 06:43 |

| YoBoY | drcookie: hi, have you read the documentation on the wiki? | 07:19 |
| YoBoY | drcookie: if you can participate on a bug jam also, it's a good way to begin | 07:29 |

| drcookie | it just seems a little daunting at first | 07:46 |
| YoBoY | yes it is :) | 07:47 |
| drcookie | I've kind of cherry picked a little, and done 2 bugs | 07:47 |
| YoBoY | you can always ask here for advice on a bug, simply put bug NUMBER and your question and someone will help you (perhap's :p) | 07:48 |

| lunartear | logcheck is reporting the same system and security events every hour which are from older dates such as Mar 22. I noticed a bug similar to this on debian's bug tracker http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=296096 is there something i can do to fix this? | 17:28 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 296096 in logcheck "logcheck shows the same month old logs again and again" [Normal,Closed] | 17:29 |
| lunartear | im using logcheck 1.2.41 | 17:29 |
| lunartear | affected version on the bug report is 1.2.34 and fixed version was 1.2.36 | 17:30 |
| hggdh | lunartear, then it sounds like a regression | 17:34 |
| hggdh | lunartear, what Ubuntu version are you running? | 17:34 |
| lunartear | hggdh: 6.0.6 TLS if im not mistaken | 17:35 |
| hggdh | 6.04? | 17:36 |
| lunartear | 6.06.1 LTS Dapper | 17:36 |
| BUGabundo | hggdh: lol there was no 6.04 | 17:38 |
| hggdh | BUGabundo, before my time ;-) | 17:38 |
| hggdh | lunartear, http://packages.ubuntu.com states Dapper logcheck is 1.2.42ubuntu1 | 17:38 |
| BUGabundo | really? | 17:40 |
| BUGabundo | I thought you were and old dog too | 17:40 |
| hggdh | really... if I remember correctly. Since I am an old dog, my memory has been failing ;-) | 17:40 |
| hggdh | I think I started on Ubuntu end of 2006/beginning of 2007. Before that it was SUSE for a few years | 17:41 |
| BUGabundo | ah | 17:41 |
| BUGabundo | I started with 5.04 brefelly | 17:41 |
| BUGabundo | and with 6.06 full time | 17:42 |
| hggdh | I went straight to the "E"... | 17:42 |
| hggdh | needed it because of my sound card and wireless | 17:43 |
| lunartear | hggdh i did a --reinstall of logcheck. 1.2.42ubuntu1 guess i'll be back in an hour if it continues | 17:46 |
| hggdh | lunartear, thank you | 17:46 |
| lunartear | np | 17:47 |
| lunartear | hggdh i just recieved another | 18:04 |
| lunartear | perhaps its another package that needs updating such as syslog or rotate? | 18:05 |
| hggdh | lunartear, it might... meanwhile, it would be good if you could open a bug on that | 18:07 |
| hggdh | lunartear, actually, can you try and see if there are updates to syslog, or rotate (since you use them)? | 18:07 |

| maxriskfactor | mregister, have you installed 5-a-day application? | 20:24 |
| mregister | no i have not. i just joined the group on launch pad and that's it. | 20:25 |
| lacqui | anyone here know why no bug announcements are on #ubuntu-bugs-announce? | 20:26 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, this can help you a lot: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dholbach/patch | 20:26 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, this has everything you ever need for 5-a-day programme | 20:26 |
| hggdh | lacqui, I will have a look at it | 20:26 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, by the way your questions wasnt dumb :) | 20:26 |
| hggdh | lacqui, it seems there simply was no new bugs (or they were not announced by the LP link) in this interval. But I went ahead, corrected a smal logging issue, and restarted eeebotu | 20:30 |
| mregister | maxriskfactory, that page was jsut some code on a white background | 20:30 |
| lacqui | the reason i was asking was because launchpad was showing bugs on the web page | 20:31 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, code in white background? | 20:31 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, that's the 5-a-day wiki page | 20:31 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, try again -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day/ | 20:31 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, its https not http :) | 20:32 |
| hggdh | lacqui, there is a delay between direct access to LP and eeebotu. It does not make sense to continuously probe LP | 20:33 |
| hggdh | usually ~5 minutes, or less | 20:34 |
| mregister | a much better maxriskfactor. thanks! | 20:34 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, opened? got it? | 20:34 |
| lacqui | lol ok, i was idling for a bit, the bugs (which seem to be all related) were all reported in a block | 20:34 |
| * lacqui is obviously too impatient | 20:35 | |
| hggdh | :-) | 20:35 |
| hggdh | no probs | 20:35 |
| mregister | yes, maxriskfactor i got it. so i need to learn the process for bug reporting and go from there it seems. | 20:39 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, yes.. you better learn how to file bugs properly | 20:40 |
| maxriskfactor | so that you know what is required for troubleshooting a bug | 20:41 |
| maxriskfactor | so that you can ask people what is required | 20:41 |
| maxriskfactor | you can troubleshoot a bug only if you know what all info is required for a dev to fix it. | 20:41 |
| maxriskfactor | go and see the TraigingBugs and Bug BackTrace wiki pages | 20:42 |
| mregister | yes i am doing that now. | 20:43 |
| mregister | so the long term goal for me is to develope for Ubuntu. this seems like a good place to start cosidering i am just starting out in CS and really learning to program | 20:43 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, for contributing you dont need programming | 20:47 |
| maxriskfactor | you can be a bridge between users and developers | 20:47 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, though knowledge of programming surely helps and gives you an edge | 20:48 |
| mregister | right but as i udnerstand the contributing is the first step, and while i work on that my skills will increase | 20:49 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, correct. nor am I a big contributer, nor do I file much bugs | 20:50 |
| maxriskfactor | do one thing, install apport if not installed | 20:50 |
| mregister | what is apport? | 20:52 |
| maxriskfactor | its the crash handler | 20:52 |
| maxriskfactor | if am correct :) | 20:53 |
| maxriskfactor | once enabled, it would run in background | 20:53 |
| maxriskfactor | when your application crashes, it would show up in the top right corner | 20:53 |
| maxriskfactor | when you click on it, it creates an exhaustive report of the crash, everything it can... | 20:54 |
| maxriskfactor | if you allow it to be submitted | 20:54 |
| maxriskfactor | then it uploads itself to launchpad and you are greeted on the screen on launchpad to file the bug | 20:54 |
| BUGabundo | maxriskfactor: you can also call it from CLI or the Help menu in gtk | 20:54 |
| maxriskfactor | you can add comments on the bug you submitted. This is actually the correct way to file bugs | 20:54 |
| maxriskfactor | BUGabundo, ubuntu-bugs ? | 20:55 |
| BUGabundo | that too | 20:55 |
| BUGabundo | not the "correct" way , but the "recommend" way | 20:55 |
| maxriskfactor | BUGabundo, :) | 20:56 |
| maxriskfactor | mregister, read this: http://mdzlog.wordpress.com/2009/03/31/please-dont-report-ubuntu-bugs-directly-to-launchpad/ | 20:56 |
