[00:07] What 'package' is an OSD issue likely attached too? [00:08] cprofitt: notify-osd ? [00:08] libnotify* [00:08] thanks... [00:10] notify-osd is the new one right? the one used by jaunty? [00:11] so probably that? [00:12] yes [00:13] hey greg-g [00:15] hiya cprofitt [00:16] starting to file all the bugs with Jaunty [00:17] anyone up for a triage? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281732 [00:17] cprofitt: yeah? All of them? ;) [00:17] cprofitt: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out [00:17] All of mine anyway [00:17] :) [00:17] * cprofitt smiles [00:20] hmm, you also get the thing where pessing mute doesn't show up via xev, but changes that /acpi/blah/volume setting? [00:20] yep [00:21] trying to figure out if there is enough information in that one to mark it triaged [00:21] its been a while since I have triaged [00:22] I think so, it seems to be pretty clear where the information is going, and the fact that it doesn't show up in xev is helpful. [00:22] have you done any upstream kernel bug reporting? [00:22] yeah... jango gave a wealth of information [00:22] I have not... [00:22] I have been focused on the EDU thing and my LoCo as of late [00:24] gotcha [00:24] I have not sent any bugs to the upstream kernel bugzilla myself [00:25] mainly because they want testing of vanilla kernels, not the ones shipped by Ubuntu, I believe (if anyone can/wants to correct me on that, please do) [00:32] yo peeps [00:32] i added some info to this bug [00:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/368896 [00:32] Launchpad bug 368896 in pidgin "When pidgin reconnects to an account with mail notifications it increments new mail notification instead of refreshing." [Undecided,New] [00:32] because ive experienced it before [00:32] now what do i do [00:36] wow [00:36] just foudn knowledge base [00:36] going to read some more [00:37] if you find a bug is a duplicate should you mark it invalid? [00:38] cprofitt: yes, invalidate it then mark as duplicate [00:38] k [00:38] thanks [00:38] cprofitt: use the response from here for duplicate, then mark it as a duplicate https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses [00:39] bdmurray, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281732 [00:39] Launchpad bug 281732 in linux "Mute button on thinkpad x200/x200s" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:39] any more information I can gather on that... [00:40] that was happening on my dell 640m [00:40] but it seems to have fixed itself [00:40] bdmurray, jango seems to have given us all the information... [00:53] cprofitt: I'd ping slangasek about it since he did some hotkey work during Jaunty [00:53] bdmurray, does he hang here? [00:54] bdmurray, I have an issue with my Lenovo that I do not know how to start on... [00:54] it just goes to a black screen when I tell it to shut down... [00:54] cntl+alt+del makes it restart... but it fails to shut down... [00:54] cprofitt: in ubuntu-devel more [00:55] cprofitt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting [00:55] cprofitt: please ensure that you have gathered all of the information from there, and then it should be easy for him to see the affected component [00:56] james_w, I believe that was done in the report already [00:56] ah, it's already on there, good [00:56] yeah... Jango added a lot of information [00:57] looks like the bug is in the right place then [00:57] james_w, that is what I was thinking... [00:58] though there is a hot-key package now I think... [00:59] can only some people set the status of a bug to triaged? [00:59] darizzle, yes. Triaged and wishlist are reserved for members of the bug-control group [01:00] so, if you need a bug set to triaged, ask here [01:00] can someone set 368896 to triaged [01:00] want linkage?

[Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/368896 [01:02] darizzle, done. Good work, thank you [01:03] darizzle, BTW -- you *can* set the importance of a bug, though, and this is expected [01:03] ah [01:03] low? [01:03] hggdh: are you sure about that? [01:03] i tried to [01:03] it didnt give me the option [01:03] let me check again [01:04] bdmurray, they cannot, anymore? [01:04] i don't have the ability [01:04] hggdh: As long as I can remember that's required Bug Control [01:04] then perhaps I am really getting old... I thought it was possible :-( [01:04] sorry, darizzle [01:05] what is teh differentiation between bug-control and what i am doing? [01:05] is there an organizational structure doc? [01:05] bug-control has access to setting the importance and status to triaged/wishlist [01:05] and this is it [01:05] bug-control is also more experienced on triaging [01:06] bdmurray, sorry. I guess I have been -control sol long that I do not remember the limitations anymore [01:07] darizzle, there is no organisational structure doc to my knowledge, (but the wiki does provide information on what is done) [01:07] are you guys using ubuntu as your main os? [01:08] hahaha [01:08] I would expect yes, but not necessarily. I do. [01:09] I actually have a Windows VM cuz there is a chess site I used to go that required IE [01:10] i just made the full switch two weeks ago [01:10] i have had an ubuntu and windows box for about two years [01:10] mainly for school and business reasons [01:10] but now i dont do either [01:11] so im rolling straight ubuntu [01:11] was a slow transformation [01:11] prior to ubuntu had been rolling some redhat/slack/and centos [01:11] they arent really as friendly as ubuntu [01:12] pretty sweeet <3 [01:14] well, it is all, after all, a question of choice (or taste, some might say).

I saw the part on using no splash... after that is there anything? [04:00] well, just remove quiet, and change splash to nosplash [04:02] after that, it's the straightforward shutdown attempt [04:06] k [04:06] be back [04:17] dtchen, no change in behavior... [04:17] what logs, etc should I used to file a report? [04:19] cprofitt: right, those changes were to get to the messages displayed on the screen during the shutdown sequence [04:19] yep [04:19] cprofitt: you should add that to the bug report, and you could attach a digital photo if possible [04:20] there is no log file which records it?

New to the BugSquad in general and don't want to mess things up :) [05:07] Bug 368186 seems to have everything asked for in the Bugs/Responses for a kernel bug, and more. Is that when you would mark it as confirmed?

[05:09] Stupendoussteve: I would personally try to reproduce the bug (if possible) [05:10] I didn't look at it much, but if you do suspect bluez might be the source of the problem, you could try asking for information about what version he has. You could also try having him disable it and see if the problem stops [05:10] Unfortunately I can't get it to reproduce. He says that with desktop effects enabled, changing virtual desktops causes the kernel panic (works fine for me) [05:10] I see, well I'll request that then [05:14] If you can't reproduce it, try and see what you have that he doesn't (different packages installed, different versions, different hardware, etc) [05:15] * nhandler -> bed [05:46] I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 and have notice the slowness of graphics!!!

[22:21] oh well, firegpg (or whatever it's called) here I come.. [22:22] ahhhh that's it. now I remind my self! [22:22] 2 weeks ago I wanted to file a wishbug for gmail labs... and Sigining was it... I forgot once I got to the groups thing! duh [22:24] oh, i see that firegpg has nicer interface for gmail [22:24] has it?? [22:24] I just use kmail or mutt [22:24] and firefox crashed (so we can still pretend that this is on the topic discussion) ;) [22:24] screenshots? [22:24] kklimonda: eheheheehehe [22:25] its not an ubuntu bug! its addon so its upstream [22:25] again.. [22:25] so firegpg is messing something up [22:26] BUGabundo: http://getfiregpg.org/screenshots.html [22:26] BUGabundo: http://getfiregpg.org/images/newscreenshots/gmailnewcompose.png this one is new [22:27] kklimonda: I think there was a known bug about ff .0.9 [22:27] and that .10 fixed [22:27] not sure we have it in yet [22:28] oh, it sends signature as a .asc attachment [22:28] * kklimonda is in love [22:29] kklimonda: don't all clients do that? [22:29] BUGabundo: it didn't [22:29] I keep getting replies from Outlook users trying to open my key [22:29] i like this new firegpg - the last reason to use desktop mail client has disappeared.. ;) [22:31] eheh [22:32] damn, xchat does poor when it comes to handling many channels.. [22:32] i can't switch to 10th, 11th etc. using keyboard.. [22:33] kklimonda: gmail is good but not good enough to handle 78k unread emails, 16 accounts, and 38GiBs of mail [22:34] I don't love Cloud that much [22:35] 78k unreaded mails? I don't think that anything can handle that many mails in some sane way.. [22:35] gmail does handle multiple accounts pretty well [22:35] kklimonda: ctrl + page up/down [22:35] but dunno if there isn't some limit.. [22:35] If as a triager I file a bug upstream for someone, is there some sort of wiki page to point people at explaining how to do it themselves in the future and when to? [22:36] It seems like it would be useful to help teach more people about doing that as opposed to just, "I've filed this upstream" [22:36] mrooney: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Forwarding%20upstream << this page? === jorge__ is now known as jcastro [22:37] YoBoY: no, that is for triagers [22:37] I meant a page to explain to bug filers when and how to file upstream themselves in the future [22:38] one od the pages referenced don't give the answer ? [22:39] i'd love to see the day when most projects move to launchpad ;/ [22:39] kklimonda: kmail does it fine! folders and sub dirs, filters, and Expire [22:39] kklimonda: +1 [22:39] its so easy to just mark "upstream" [22:39] and some projects are using really weird tools [22:40] i personally hate debian bts.. [22:40] mrooney, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream has some instructions for a few upstream bug tracker [22:40] but it has nice email interface ;) [22:40] I dislike bugzilla [22:40] to slow and complicated [22:40] plus many project like to make it even more complicated [22:40] look at KDE [22:40] BUGabundo: the problem with various bugzillas is that they all require you to create an account. [22:40] so does LP [22:41] BUGabundo: but it's only one account for various projects ;) [22:41] GNOME bugzilla is just one accoutn [22:41] BUGabundo: And if I'm lazy I can just ubuntu-bug all my bugs and then put a faith in triagers to assign them to upstream ;) [22:41] mrooney: then another one for mozilla [22:42] kklimonda: yeah but that is only because LP isn't open source so no one else CAN use it [22:42] humm I'm fast.. I just bitten bdmurray [22:42] once that happens surely we will need multiple LP logins [22:42] mrooney: but i would want them to move to LP and not create bugzilla using LP code. [22:42] no if everyone use OpenID [22:42] kklimonda: I started to upstream most of my bugs and other users , I stuble accros [22:42] (by bugzilla I mean generic But Tracking System) ;) [22:43] I have accounts on gnome, kde, pidgin , and several others BTSs [22:44] that's why you have so many unread emails ;} [22:44] no [22:44] that's moslty due to MLs [22:44] hehe [22:44] 300 new emails alone from ubuntu-users daily [22:44] I have decided to unsubscribe from most MLs [22:45] now I'm only subscribed to ubuntu-devel-discuss and debian-python.. [22:46] no announce? no -devel? no lp-users? [22:46] I try to keep my sanity intact ;) [22:46] i only have Launchpad and BugSquad :p [22:46] i think about -devel as it's low traffic [22:46] and maybe lp-users as.. dunno ;) [22:46] and adopter 2 packages to try [22:47] adopted [22:47] BUGabundo: there is little reason to sign onto all those lists if you can't even scan subjects to see what's going on [22:47] at least imo [22:48] scan? I only do that when I a get an huge backlog! [22:48] usually I keep them read [22:48] expect kernel, marketing and users [22:48] oh and pidgin! [22:48] heh [22:48] I just read that last one when I need to blead from my eyes [22:49] it's that bad? ;) [22:50] bad? have you ever heard that some FOSS project are bad to new users? [22:50] kklimonda: they aren't bad to new users. they are terrible to anyone, even them selves [22:51] define new users? [22:51] hi Pollywog [22:51] hi [22:51] Pollywog: any new user to the proj [22:51] oic then that would make me a pre-new user [22:51] just yesterday a friend of mine, tried to get help from #ruby [22:51] I just went way... they trolled him as Noob and refused to help [22:52] oh yes I get that a lot [22:52] how can i display list of new bugs in ubuntu project? [22:52] usually if a new users comes up here, or any other #ubuntu support channel, s/he gets a welcome reply [22:52] it was some VERY long uri afair.. [22:52] and I lost it ;) [22:52] unless its #ubuntu.... too many users to get help there [22:53] kklimonda: click on advance?? [22:53] people try Linux and then many change their minds when they get that treatment [22:53] because they have heard about community [22:54] ubuntu community isn't bd [22:54] bad* [22:54] but irc isn't really good channel for user support [22:54] I think the best place to get help is the ubuntuforums [22:54] ubuntuforums.org is better - easier to see a problem, to keep track of it.. [22:54] on #ubuntu there are just so many people and questions that it's easy to miss one.. [22:55] I sometimes go there because I have a problem and then I see that someone else is having a problem that I had [22:55] i think people should be directed to their loco channels.. [22:55] I have been using Linux since 1997 and I am still green [22:56] kklimonda: I do that for most users for my loco team [22:57] Pollywog: how is that possible? lol [22:57] Pollywog: I use it for 8 years and I can fix most of my problems but there are areas (for example audio subsystem) I just don't understand at all [22:57] because Linux keeps changing and I can't keep up [22:58] I can build distro from scratch, create secure server, write some nice apps but when it comes to internal microphone I don't know what to do with it ;) [22:58] I used Debian most of the time until a few years ago when there was doubt that Debian would survive [22:59] because people were leaving the project [22:59] I've been touching linux since 95/6 [22:59] it was during this long leap between releases? [22:59] using ubuntu since 5.10 and 100% time since 6.06 [22:59] been beta/alpha tester since 6.10 beta [23:00] can't do a line of code, to save my life, but I do pretty good help links to users [23:00] I think people were leaving Debian because of hostility they perceived there [23:00] i still have an old 5.10 system which I upgraded up to 8.04 without any problems. [23:02] I generally have problems with upgrades, usually with Nvidia [23:02] but a clean install fixes it [23:02] I only had to do a clean install when 5.04 was released [23:02] hi all [23:02] after upgrade from 4.10 I had many problems.. [23:03] hi [23:03] now 8.10->9.04 upgrade was painless even with nvidia [23:03] did you do straight upgrades [23:03] hi darizzle [23:03] or incremental [23:03] darizzle: incremental [23:03] darizzle: it is possible to do straight upgrades if you know what you are doing [23:03] (for example it's possible to go from kubuntu 8.04 to 9.04) [23:03] incremental is probably safer [23:03] it is [23:04] man [23:05] so far ive only triaged one bug [23:05] i think qa is a great way to learn a system [23:05] I had a Hardy system that I upgraded to Intrepid and followed that with an upgrade to Jaunty. Nvidia was messed up, so I did a clean install and that fixed it, but I think I did not need to do that. I think I know where I messed up, it was that new Hardware module, it would have fixed the problem [23:05] the one that looks for proprietary drivers [23:06] yea [23:06] ive been rolling ati for about 10 years [23:06] until about 3 yrs ago, the main problem with upgrades was ALSA [23:06] so havent experienced that [23:06] always play the underdog [23:06] now I never need to bother with it [23:07] except its nearly impossible to find a laptop with amd in it these days [23:07] restricted-manager [23:07] Pollywog: did you use dist-upgrade or upgrade-manager ? [23:07] so im rolling intel chips in the lappy [23:07] update-manager* [23:07] kklimonda: apt-get dist-upgrade [23:07] Pollywog: don't do it [23:08] Pollywog: update-manager doesn't do only "dist-upgrade" under the mask. [23:08] Pollywog: it has a lot of quirks for various known upgrade problems [23:08] Pollywog: and one of them was for nvidia upgrade [23:08] I will use the newer tools if they work. When I was a Debian user, upgrades went smoothly with the exception of the move from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels [23:08] (there is no nvidia-glx-177 in jaunty) [23:09] Pollywog: i've always used update-manager and never had any problems with it. [23:09] yes that is why even my clean install did not work at first boot [23:09] nvidia-glx was "missing" [23:09] but that hardware module fixed it [23:10] and I bought a hp2133 Mini Note a couple of weeks ago and Jaunty runs great on it [23:11] in Gnome, wifi works out of the box though there seems to be a problem with KDE and wifi [23:15] supported hardware is 95% of the success..
