JanCmeh, there is a bug in the apport retracing service where it invalidates crash reports because i don't have scroolkeeper installed?07:00
JanCthis probably means that a lot of other crasher bugs have been automaticly invalidated too...  :-(07:04

ubottuLaunchpad bug 355481 in apport "Apport retrace service invalidates valid crasher bugs" [Undecided,New]07:51
Guest35917Hi all.. I'm facing a bug in kubuntu, and I find on google people having it on ubuntu also.. "unknown" X entries in xrestop output quickly proliferate and I can no more start X applications..12:38
Guest35917I can't find a fix on google for it12:39
Guest35917can someone give me some pointer please?12:39
Guest35917is it a xorg bug?12:39
Guest35917some further google search points me to a gnome-screensaver bug, but I don't believe it because i can reproduce on KDE, and to a xloadimage bug12:53
Guest35917someone knows anything about this?12:53
Guest35917Also it seems that other distributions have this bug (fedora, gentoo). Is seems the bug has been assigned to several different applications, thinking they was not releasing X resources..12:57
mnemosry never heard of anything like that13:05
mnemoopen a bug in LP and use "ubuntu-bug xorg" to do it so it auto attaches all the logs13:05
mnemoalso attach screenshots of xrestop showing the problem etc so people understand what the issue is13:05
Guest35917what is LP? can you provide me a link where to post the bug?13:08
Guest35917please13:08
mnemoI mean launchpad.net (LP)13:09
Guest35917ok13:10
Guest35917thanks13:10
mnemohowever13:10
mnemoif you run the command "ubuntu-bug xorg" in a terminal13:10
mnemothen it will file a bug on LP but it will also auto include lots of info/logs etc13:10
Guest35917oh ok13:10
Guest35917going to do it.13:10
Guest35917thank you a lot13:10
Guest35917hmmm13:10
Guest35917does not work13:10
Guest35917root@deathstart:/home/andrea# ubuntu-bug xorg13:10
Guest35917Maximum number of clients reached: cannot connect to X server :0.013:10
mnemoaah you're in a ssh shell?13:11
Guest35917no13:11
Guest35917this is the bug I was talking about13:11
Guest35917I can no more13:11
Guest35917run X applications13:11
Guest35917because13:11
mnemoaaah lol : ok thats unfortunately13:11
Guest35917X resources finishs13:11
mnemoyea13:11
mnemohmm13:11
Guest35917and before they reach 25513:12
Guest35917I can see them increasing quickily13:12
Guest35917with xrestop13:12
mnemotry using "apport-cli -f -p xorg" instead?13:12
mnemodoes that work?13:12
Guest35917seems it does something.. At least it is running..13:13
Guest35917yes, it is uploading problem informations..13:13
mnemosweet13:13
mnemomake sure you add more info to the bug though because it cant automatically attach useful things like a screenshot of the xrestop thing13:14
mnemoand also the error you get trying to launch x.org apps etc13:14
mnemoanyway, in case you ever need it... the manual way to report ubuntu bugs to to use this URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug13:15
Guest35917ok13:15
mnemoand then manually attack xorg.log, dmesg and what not13:15
Guest35917will the apport-cli13:15
Guest35917ask me to attach stuff?13:15
mnemoi think it will automatically attach the kinds of log files that is needed to debug bugs in the package you specified (xorg in this case)13:16
mnemobut I usually use the "ubuntu-bug xorg" command13:16
mnemoso I never tried the apport way13:16
Guest35917but not the xrestop screenshot... hmm maybe I will file a bug by hand..13:16
mnemoyeah13:16
mnemofor this particular bug I think its useful to attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsession-errors in particular13:17
Guest35917ok13:17
mnemoand it might also be useful to reboot the machine with "ModeDebug" set to true in xorg.conf13:17
Guest35917Ah...13:18
mnemoif you're running xorg in ModeDebug then it puts more info into xorg.log that usual13:18
Guest35917this is a very good info to know..13:18
mnemoi have to make lunch now13:18
mnemocya13:19
mnemo:)13:19
Guest35917thank you a lot13:19
Guest35917good lunch13:19
Guest35917byr13:19

ubottuLaunchpad bug 355671 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "Compiz doesn't start after upgrade xorg-video-intel 2.4.1-1ubuntu10.4" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35567115:51
qenseI think someone marked bug 155201 wrongly as a security risk.16:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 155201 in ion3 "package update-manager 1:0.81 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /tmp/tmpgCJnk8/backports/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [High,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/15520116:12
qenseEspecially considering the fact that the person who changed it uses an @msn.com mail address as account name.16:12
greg-gqense: yeah, I would undo that.16:13
greg-galso, but, it is closed, so it doesn't really matter16:13
greg-germ, s/also, but,/but,/16:13
qenseok16:14
qenseshould the account be reported?16:14
greg-gwhy?16:15
qensehe makes invalid changes16:15
qensewould you, being an new user of LP, accidentiatly mark a bug as a security risk?16:16
qenseIt took me a while before I actually found that option.16:16
greg-git is their first action16:16
greg-gand it doesn't have a negative effect on anyone (I'm confused how you found this bug since it was marked invalid in November, actually).16:17
hggdhBUGabundo, pong16:17
qenseI'm still subscribed to it ;)16:17
greg-gqense: ah :)16:18
greg-gthat makes sense :)16:18
qensewell, we'll see if the user is going to react on the change16:19
greg-gwell, this was done over a week ago, and they haven't done anything else, so I wouldn't worry about it.  There are many more people who make more unneeded changes on bugs.16:19
qenseok16:19
hggdhbut it is interesting, why would one mark as a security risk an invalid bug?16:21
qenseyeah16:22
qensethat's what's bugging me16:22
hggdhwell, this seems to be the only bug touched by this user. Let's consider a mistake on experimenting, at least right now16:24
greg-gyeah, no big deal16:25

IenorandHello, regarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/284377 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/291449 would it be better to mark the latter one as a dupe (even though it's older), since we've got more info on the former, also... I was going to mark it confirmed against network-manager and invalid vs kernel...21:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 284377 in linux "No NET with 2.6.27: No buffer space available" [Medium,Confirmed]21:02

hggdhsavvas, let me get the links. Please note that this relates to 'ls' usage, and 'sort' (the coreutils utilities)21:06
hggdhsavvas, http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00090.html21:07
savvashggdh: awesome! thank you very very much!21:09
hggdhsavvas, welcome. Please note that a lot has changed from coreutils 6.10 (Jaunty) and current 7.221:09
hggdhIenorand, if the newer bug has more applicable data than the old, then no problem in marking the old one a dup of the newer21:10
savvasok - I'll just follow that thread :)21:10

BUGabundo1do you have a LP bug or it?21:23
ubuntunewkidi have no idea why21:23
ubuntunewkidask the developers of ubuntu21:23
BUGabundo1well actually it sound like a MSFT Virtual box prob21:23
BUGabundo1the onboard card has nothing to do with it21:23
BUGabundo1since Ubuntu only see the emulated on from VPC21:24
ubuntunewkidok21:24
ubuntunewkid...wait, i can change the settings in vpc, so...21:24
ubuntunewkidother than the sound, ubuntu 9.04 beta works great!21:24
ubuntunewkidsome developers clearly went to great heights to get this release going strong21:25
ubuntunewkidi only use vpc, so i dont have to dedicate my pc to the beta 9.0421:25
BUGabundo1not many users on +1 have audio prob, at this moment21:26
BUGabundo1either you have a new bug, or it is related to MSFT VPC21:26

hggdhyes indeed21:41
torkianoUbuntu has not support "out-of-the-box" for this Gnome 2.26 feature?21:41
hggdhtorkiano, the last comment sort of sets the expectation (unreleased version of libusb)21:42
hggdhso... I really doubt it will make it into Jaunty21:43
torkianohggdh: I see, thank you, I've changed the packge and confirmed the bug21:43
hggdhoh, BTW -- you can always try dpkg -S <path> to find which package has this <path>21:44
hggdhfor example, dpkg -S gnome-about-me21:45
hggdhand then you figure out which of the packages might be the correct one21:45
torkianohggdh: thank you for the tip. Can you set the importance of the bug, please?21:47
hggdhtorkiano, what is the importance you would like?21:53
torkianohggdh: I'd like high importance ;-), but reading  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance I think medium importance is good (problem with a non-essential hardware component)21:57

hggdhtorkiano, hum. We are depending on a not-yet-released library. Wouldn't "Wishlist" be better? You can add in a comment stating why you consider it high-importance21:58
