[00:17] bug 367040 [00:17] Launchpad bug 367040 in aap "Please sync aap (1.090-1) from Debian unstable" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/367040 [00:18] we can't sync applications with debian in stable releases, and fix for #112329 should be backported from mainstream to all supported ubuntu release. right? [00:19] kklimonda, correct. Depending on the issues, it might be considered for SRU [00:19] yeah [00:19] it crashes at start [00:19] always? [00:19] when no arguments are passed [00:20] when -t is passed [00:20] it tries to concatenate string with a tuple [00:20] so this bug should be marked as invalid? [00:21] as far as I can remember, Debian will be automagically sync-ed for Karmic [00:22] but a bug to sync it to jaunty (and probably some older releases) is invalid? [00:22] a request* [00:22] but better to ask in #ubuntu-motu [00:22] yes, it is incorrect to sync to Jaunty [00:23] s/sync to/sync for/ [00:26] I'm not sure that fixing 112329 is worth an effort - 1.072 was released 5 years ago.. [00:26] I agree, but this is a decision that is not ours to make... the packager will decide. [00:27] also last release was over 2 years ago [00:28] sigh, it is using cvs and it returns 404 error.. [00:30] heh, even if we fix 112329 it won't work [02:04] 17:38 -locobot_2(n=UbuntuLo@ubuntu/bot/locobot)- #ubuntu-bugs: The channel is logged (at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode).

[10:04] ok thanx [10:05] And of course, ask here if you're unsure of anything. [10:06] ok thanx a lot guys [11:00] how do i set a bug as a wish [11:01] leifdk1978: you only do if you are in bug control team (I think) [11:01] ok lot os wish is put in bugs [11:02] if you don't, usually you just ask here, and hope some one does [11:02] ok [11:02] leifdk1978: ususally some of those are better redirect at brainstorm.ubuntu.com [11:02] !brainstorm [11:02] Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!

I just keep seeing stuff I have too [11:49] :) [11:49] and then I sub to them all [11:49] ok [11:51] does PPA still have 1GB quota? [11:58] dunno [11:58] they can increase it if you ask/need/deserv [11:59] Nah, I'm just curious :) [12:00] ohh I was going to ask: "do you deserv?" [12:00] ehe [12:02] but playing with package sources is addicting ;) [12:02] kklimonda: the last I heard it was only 1GB per PPA, but know that you can have more than 1 PPA, I'm not sure how it works, [13:23] hi, I'm trying to debug and I don't understand how to Import the debug symbol archive signing key.

[14:42] oh, OK [14:42] is CPU usage back to normal? [14:43] that's the strange thing hggdh, I killed the process but still the CPU is 100% [14:43] I thought so, I did not see anything weird in the backtrace [14:43] none of the processes in System Monitor are using much CPU [14:44] but the CPU is still tagged at 100%? [14:44] Yes, CPU 1 is around 100% and CPU 2 is near 0%. Then they swap over. I say CPU but really I mean 'cores' [14:45] that's OK. Allright, go back to the terminal you ran gdb from, and type in 'top', and hit enter [14:45] done [14:46] the command that is using 100% is 'Xorg' [14:46] which programmes are at the top (using a lot of CPU)?

[14:47] good -- we know which programme is the offending one; bad: it *is* xorg [14:47] lol [14:48] so your X session, right now, is hosed... [14:48] yes, I find I have to logout then back in to stop the CPU 100% [14:48] triciens, it only happens when you run g-d-p? [14:48] yeah [14:49] so far [14:49] ok. Suggestion: *right now*, do NOT run g-d-p ;-) [14:49] I think Ubuntu and ATI HD3870 do not like each other [14:50] and you will have to end your X session (perhaps reboot) to clean up [14:50] k [14:50] can you update my bug-report? [14:50] triciens, are you using fglrx? [14:50] what is fglrx? [14:51] oh its the propietary drivers [14:51] yes, I am [14:51] yes [14:51] the problem only started after I enabled the drivers [14:51] and rebooted [14:51] and ran dg-d-p [14:51] *g-d-p [14:51] OK. This means you are running code that we (the LInux community) do not have access to [14:51] yeah, that kinda sucks [14:52] which means *only* ATI can help [14:52] yes it does. A lot. [14:52] hold on [14:52] do you know how I can tell ATI? [14:53] please have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging [14:53] Are nVidia drivers open-source? [14:53] Are ATI likely to release the code for theirs? [14:53] it lists what has to/should be done in order to gather data for ATI [14:54] ok [14:54] only ATI can answer that question. I hope they do [14:54] nVidia are also closed-source [14:54] More and more people are going to buy ATI, because their cards seem better for the price these days [14:55] * hggdh also has an ATI board, but stays clear away from ATI drivers [14:55] so you dont game on your PC? [14:55] laptop. No I do not -- don't usually have time for it, unless it is chess. And chess does not need a lot of graphics ;-) [14:56] ah [14:56] so I wonder why nVidia drivers work well with Linux [14:56] both are closed source [14:56] because their code sucks less currently [14:56] lol [14:57] I think all the bugs I've got with Ubuntu are caused by ATI drivers [14:57] I guess if your hardware works well, so does Ubuntu [14:57] well ATI is not the only issue we have, but it does have a larger-than-fair amount of issues [14:58] How good are the ATI devs at releasing fixes, new drivers etc? [14:58] if the hardware if fully understood by the Linux community, it will tend to work without issues [14:58] do they listen to the community? [14:59] I do not know... the X guys would know better about ATI. It seems ATI is getting better, but still closed [14:59] ok [14:59] well, thanks for your help [15:01] welcome [15:59] * andol wonders what to do about bug #364811.

There are two other points: (1) you do not go through a release upgrade with users logged in; (2) [18:13] if you have users on your system, you schedule downtime for upgrades [18:14] I those are all valid points, wishlist is correct status, since it will keep the bug around but not make it a "gotta get this done" bug [18:14] yes [19:13] i am experiencing problems with permissions on executable scripts and launchers [19:13] it seems to be a bug [19:13] if i log in as root and change permissions it goes back to what it was [19:19] khunt: could you elaborate?
