[00:00] you can raise the topic upstream yes [00:00] or at least menu editor should ignore .desktop files which ends with '-mime'.. [00:00] I've other issues higher on my todolist than cleaning masked desktop because some users try to edit menus and get confused [00:00] heh [00:00] hehe [00:00] sure [00:02] it is now invalid [00:02] you could probably define an extra Type= value for mimetypes in the spec [00:02] and then teach menu editor to ignore those [00:02] but that's a discussion for the xdg-list [00:02] lets open a blueprint or taskbug for KK [00:02] no [00:02] and let upstream know about it [00:02] seb128: no? [00:03] let whoever is interested by that discuss it on xdg-list [00:03] we have enough bugs that are not bugs and that nobody will work on already [00:03] seb128, you have the link? [00:03] to what? [00:03] xdg-list [00:03] hggdh: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg [00:03] xdg@lists.freedesktop.org [00:04] thanks to both.

Thanks seb128, for the input [00:06] kklimonda: way OT but http://syntaxhighlighted.com/ is 404 [00:07] hggdh: thank you for the bug triage work [00:07] BUGabundo: I know - It is on my todo list to make a placeholder ;D [00:07] hggdh: I've uploaded evolution-exchange btw [00:07] hggdh: it's waiting for ubuntu-sru review now [00:07] thanks, seb128 [00:07] seb128: now that you mention it, I demo installed 7zip, and couldn't get it to appear on the Open With list [00:08] known bug? [00:08] BUGabundo: the open with list only list graphical applications [00:08] BUGabundo: ie things shipping a .desktop entry [00:08] isn't 7zip gui? [00:08] or better, doesn't it have one? [00:08] hum. But couldn't it run under terminal? [00:09] Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) [00:09] I doubt it's a graphical software [00:10] if you are speaking about p7zip [00:10] ahhh guess I installed the wrong one [00:10] file-roller is the GNOME GUI for that [00:10] I was just doing a showcase demo, and used the 1st one I found on Add/Remove [00:10] next time will take care [00:11] seb128: I use fileroller, but the user (a windows one) knew 7zip, and asked to install it [00:11] ah ok [00:11] that's a command line under linux [00:12] nice to know that's where I failed [00:12] now feel free to get back to work ;) [00:12] :-) it is always nice to learn something new [00:12] I'm rather going to bed now [00:12] 'night everybody see you tomorrow [00:13] night seb128 [00:13] seb128: good night [00:13] I'll be hitting the sack soon too... to tired today [00:15] g´ night, BUGabundo, nice dreams [00:15] hggdh: not yet! lol [00:15] still catching up feeds and mail, after of almost 3 days absent [00:18] BUGabundo: heh - I just mark all rss feeds a read after I'm away for few days ;) [00:19] +1 [00:19] I almost never do that [00:19] but I have a special metatag caller NVLEN, portuguese for "I won't ever read those" [00:19] after I've read most everything else, I mark those as read [00:19] LOL [00:20] NVLEN?

[00:24] kklimonda: I do keep it in control [00:24] I make metatags [00:25] a FAB (must read daily), a FAB2 (stuff I must read, just not ASAP) [00:25] and NF (old tag, for NoForums, but today means pretty much everything else not on FAB*, NVLEN, and Planets) [00:47] Hi - I have a newbie question: a package has an easily fixable bug that already has been fixed in a later version. Ubuntu has the old version of the package. At this point of the development cycle do you a) patch the version ubuntu has, b) package the new version for ubuntu, or c) both? Thank you [00:47] showard: a) [00:48] showard: and only if a bug is important [00:48] (e.g. a regression from previous release or an application doesn't work at all) [00:48] * BUGabundo makes a private joke with kklimonda about _current cycle_ being kk [00:48] ;) [00:49] Ah ok, I was thinking that any bugs fixed now went into unstable [00:49] showard: that is another case - untill FeatureFreeze packages are just being updated [00:49] showard: yeah it's the general idea === Cream is now known as Cream|MARIOKART [00:50] showard: merged with debian unstable in most cases. [00:50] great, thanks [01:50] bug 366877 [01:50] Launchpad bug 366877 in debian-installer "mexamafia" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/366877 [01:51] what's that about? [01:52] bdmurray: "puto" = "bloody" or "fucking" as in "bloody debian installer doesn't work right" [01:53] still not very helpful though [01:54] right [01:57] literal translation would be prostitute, male persuasion [01:58] I propose to simply warn him of CoC, and indalidate it [01:58] works for me [01:59] what is the process of rejecting a question? Does the poster get a chance to repost? [01:59] well. Can also mean 'child', 'boy', in Portugal [01:59] hggdh: not in this context [01:59] BUGabundo, I agree, that's why I gave the first one [01:59] even if was PT-pt with would be a serious insult [01:59] but, for the sake of completeness... [01:59] sound spanish to me [02:00] same meaning in Spanish [02:00] I would go with slang.. son of a b.... [02:00] yes [02:01] just frustrated or testing LP, and not using stagging [02:01] for me, just CoC'ed him and invalidate it after 24h, if no reply [02:04] I CoC-ed him, and also invalidated it. If he/she wants to enter a good bug, it can be done again, nicely. [02:05] Jeruvy, what exactly is the case? [02:08] hggdh: well I saw a post in answers relating to a 'backdoor' in vista which didn't seem very relevent, but I wasn't sure if 'rejecting it' was the right course of action, so I thought I ask what is the case? [02:09] Jeruvy, you can warn not to deal with it here, but we cannot close it. Do you have the link? [02:09] cannot == do not have the authority/capability [02:09] hggdh: gotcha, let me find it [02:10] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/68904 [02:12] I don't think they are using the word "backdoor" in an illegal/bad way [02:12] Jeruvy, if I understand it correctly (not sure) it is not a backdoor [02:12] greg-g, +1 [02:12] :) [02:13] greg-g: no, but still it did not seem relevent [02:13] it is actually a, er, gateway wubi <-> vista the poster is referring to [02:13] I think it can be considered a valid question, albeit a bit on the extreme [02:13] hggdh: a package? [02:14] Jeruvy: sure, but posters many time put non-relevant information into their bugs/questions, it is our job to sift through it :) [02:14] s/time/times/ [02:14] Jeruvy, maybe, or something simliar. I am not familiar with wubi (don't have a windows-based box here) [02:15] hggdh: I am, so if someone could enlighten me that would be supreme :) [02:15] heh. I respectfully pass ;-) [02:15] :) [02:16] let me read it [02:16] but, for sure, the first response is a bit aggressive [02:16] but...for my questions sake...lets just say I was to 'reject it'. What would happen? [02:17] 'cause I too am not sure whether that is a good course of action or not. Hence I'm asking. [02:17] you cannot --we cannot reject a question. All we can do is ask not to do it, eventually ask for help from the LP folks to block the user [02:18] hggdh: done [02:19] huh, Jeruvy, when doing something like that, please also explain why. Please... be nice ;-) [02:19] I was trying :) [02:19] after reading it, seem like a valid question [02:19] the users just wants to access his windows files [02:19] and interface the FSs [02:20] yes, I agree [02:20] (FWIW) [02:20] I was asking here to see, but I still don't see. Sorry for the trouble. [02:20] from what I recall, last time I used Wubi, the Wind FS should be accessble via the Nautilus mount points [02:20] Jeruvy, the user seems to want to know how to download files under wubi, and pass them on to Vista [02:21] a valid usage (weird, but still valid) [02:21] why weird? [02:22] so what happens now? [02:22] any user should be able to write to other OSs FSs [02:22] as long he has driver for it [02:22] you can download under windows -- there are lots of programmes to do that [02:22] and we do have NTFS-3g [02:23] I've see users download stuff over ubuntu, and then copy to wind, because of virus [02:23] ah [02:24] and to think I have also been a MSCE... [02:24] won't stop the virus in many cases. But I wasn't concerned about that :) [02:25] hggdh: ehehehe [02:34] bed time for me! [[]] and kisses everyone [02:54] should ubuntu bugs be marked "fix released" when a package with the fix is available in somebodies PPA or when the package is actually uploaded to Ubuntu? [02:56] sorry for the dumb question, but I want to get this email sent before I leave (in a few minutes), and want to make sure that I'm right before incorrectly correcting somebody. :) [02:57] Fix Released is only for when the fix is actually in Ubuntu itself [02:58] usually this should be accomplished by the bug number being in the changelog entry - and then the bug will be automatically set to "Fix Released" by the upload [02:58] ok, good. thanks for confirming what I thought. === pace_t_zulu_ is now known as pace_t_zulu [07:20] good morning === kenyon_ is now known as kenyon [09:00] guud morning [09:09] hi [09:13] YoBoY: hi! nice to see you [09:14] hopefully ubuntu will soon release firefox 3.0.10 [09:14] nice to see you too BUGabundo :) [09:26] stesind: i'm sure the ubuntu-mozillateam is working on it!

[09:30] i have some pluginst like firebug [09:30] they cause the crashes because of bugfixes in 3.0.9 [09:30] i run most of my addons without any trouble [09:30] maybe I give it a try [09:31] nightly tools does wonders [09:31] stesind: if that happens persistently and is able to be reproduced, then file a bug [09:31] on either launchpad or the addon BTS [09:32] it is already known an the fix is in 3.0.10 [09:32] it just released bug not available via ubuntu repositories [09:32] but I ment [09:33] ah then u should use the team PPA [09:33] or even daily PPA report back on #ubuntu-mozillateam channel [09:33] or comment on the bug === virtuald_ is now known as virtuald === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn [11:37] Hi.

[17:23] charlie-tca: if your vision hasn't been stable at least for several years don't even think about getting surgery [17:23] * charlie-tca thinks the cataracts are not helping [17:23] charlie-tca: oh then just get lens replacement or whatever it is they do for that... it often fixes vision as well [17:23] They won't do it until the cataract is completely covering the eye [17:23] yes [17:23] charlie-tca: no they dont [17:23] my grandmother had to have cataract surgery and after that she no longer needed vision correction in that eye [17:24] charlie-tca, under US health insurance?

[23:36] kklimonda: the only bug I know about is bug 364524 [23:36] Launchpad bug 364524 in ubuntu "Lockup when using strace" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/364524 [23:37] there is possibly more floating around since judging from the thread there are some people experiencing this [23:38] ahh that bug [23:38] I won't test it again [23:38] LOL [23:38] last time I got my audio out of syn [23:38] *sync [23:39] but yeah I confirm it, strace makes PC go slow, without any load noticible [23:40] Yes, however I dont know if it is related to the freezes people is having [23:42] * BUGabundo backsup slowlly [23:47] askand, there is also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging [23:47] hggdh: yes that is mentioned in the thread but they say it is not an X freeze [23:49] askand, for that bug you would probably need two machines: one doing the strace (and getting locked up), and another ssh-ing in the first to investigate [23:51] how long have you guys been helping with ubuntu qa? [23:53] darizzle, varies per person... I have been around for the last two years and few [23:54] i have a question [23:54] i want to get started [23:54] i have read all of the bugsquad documentation [23:55] existing on ubuntu.com and the related subdomains [23:55] but am anxious about how to start [23:55] because i know the complexity of the process [23:55] i don't want to step on feet, misidentify, or mishandle [23:55] is there a time where someone could walk me through a triage [23:55] or even selection for triage [23:56] easy: pick *any* bug that you feel confortable (or less unconfortable) and try to work it out [23:56] and then ask here if you have doubts [23:58] darizzle: calm down, dude, you seem to be on steroids! [23:58] there enough bugs for all your life time and go around a couple more times [23:59] darizzle, there will be some sessions on bug triaging on the OpenWeek.
