micahgCan someone look at bug 293362 for me06:33
ubot4`Launchpad bug 293362 in firefox-3.0 "ubuntu 8.04 amd64 - Java applet loop: openjdk-6 icedtea6-plugin Firefox" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29336206:33
micahgI tested with the sun java plugin and did not have an issue06:34
micahgugh, neverming06:35
micahgI have a different version of Java anyways06:35
micahghere's one, if a person's assigned to a bug, the status shouldn't be new, right?06:37
persiamicahg, Sometimes that's a valid model.06:38
micahgpersia: can you clarify pleasE?06:38
persiaFor instance, when a bug is mostly irreproducible, but someone is claiming it because they can reproduce (e.g. on specialised hardware), and are collecting additional details.06:38
micahgso, that's assigned, but new?06:38
micahgnot incomplete06:38
=== savvas is now known as medigeek
micahgor in progress?06:39
persiaOr when someone finds something, and is working on it, but nobody else has yet confirmed the issue (by the don't-confirm-your-own-bugs rule)06:39
=== medigeek is now known as savvas
persiaWell, arguably, it ought be "incomplete" or "in-progress".  I think you're right.06:39
micahgok, but still, shouldn't that be in progress so people know06:39
micahghere's my bug problem06:39
micahgbug 29465206:39
ubot4`Launchpad bug 294652 in firefox-3.0 "Default 8.10 homepage searches wrong google" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29465206:39
micahgthe assignee was asked to reclassify the bug06:40
persiaOh, I've encountered that bug.06:40
micahgthat shouldn't be in progress?06:40
persiaNo.  That's a somewhat special case.06:41
micahgok06:41
persiaThe bug is a bug in http://start.ubuntu.com/8.10 rather than in firefox.06:41
micahgI've only been doing this a week, so I'm still earning06:41
micahgah06:41
micahgit's a problem witht he site06:41
persiaIt's not clear which project hosts that web page, but the person setting the assignment has some information that indicates the assignee might know where it belongs.06:41
persia(the assignee probably said "assign that to me" in an IRC chat)06:42
micahgI've tried to adopt ff as my bug project to triage06:42
persiaSo, the assignee will probably move it, and then it will follow other processes.06:42
micahgsince it's so out of control06:42
micahgwell06:42
micahgbad wording06:42
micahgnot out of control06:42
micahgbugs rising beyond ability to triage06:42
micahgmaybe that's better06:42
persiaRight.  It's a special case.  It oughtn't be in that state for long, because it should move away from being against "Firefox" and be against whatever actually handles that page.06:43
micahgI try to go after everything classified as new06:43
persiaWell, out of control of those working on firefox (or Ubuntu), at least.06:43
micahga little at a time06:43
hggdhheh06:43
micahgI think I've done about 50 in the past week06:43
persiaIt's been in this state for several months: you might want to contact the assignee and ask if the bug will be updated.06:43
persiaCool!06:44
micahghggdh: can you be my bug mentor?06:44
hggdhmicahg: yes, not probs06:44
micahgok06:44
micahgI was wondering06:44
hggdhs/not/no/06:44
persiaWe're doing bug mentors now?  I always preferred the "ask the channel" model.06:44
micahgwhat about combining all the compiz/FF problems into one bug06:44
micahgthere seem to be a lot of them06:44
hggdhpersia, I guess both are good06:45
micahgSame scenario over and over, user starts FF and it's maximized06:45
micahguser needs to hit F11 twice to get the titlebat back06:45
micahg*titlebar06:45
hggdhmicahg: putting all compiz/ff into one master sounds nice, but... we have to be sure they are all the same issue06:46
hggdhanyway. it's almost 0100 now here. Time to fight the pillow. G'night all y'all06:48

micahgcan I mark bug 349970 and bug 329604 as dupes?06:52

hggdhyes: piece of paper, and a pencil ;-)06:57
micahgI'll use vim instead :006:58
micahgI also have to go to bed soon06:59
persiaI used to use a desktop stickies program, and just copy&paste URLs there.  This didn't end up scaling well (I have too many bugs), but it was very helpful for keeping track of things when reviewing a couple hundred bugs quickly.07:00
hggdhtried using something like that, but ended up using real stickies instead...07:01
micahgah, would you guys find a watch bug feature useful?07:03
micahgnot subscribe so you get e-mails07:03
micahgbut, just a place to collect a list of ones to watch07:03
persiaactually, no.  Subscription meets that need for me.  It's rare I want to watch a bug for longer than a week and wouldn't want to be subscribed.07:11

BUGabundoseb128: "ubuntu and ubuntujaunty are the same word?"12:53

micahgwith the debian sync, new packages come in also, right?16:20
persiamicahg, Mostly.  Just about all of them end up in the NEW queue, and there's always a couple on which the sync script fails.  Check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+queue before getting too worried about things not appearing.16:22
micahgthe reason I ask is because I invalidated my own bug about syncing rt 3.8 since it exists in debian16:24

jtholmeshggdh, being a little to the bug squad I was wondering if it would be out of bounds to suggest to someone reporting the freeze bug to try and use the proposed kernel 2.6.28-12-43 since someone else reported that kernel fixed their random desktop freeze ups16:50

hggdhjtholmes, yes, it can be done. Do you have a reference for this?16:55

hggdhthanks, Pici17:06
hggdh;-)17:06
jtholmeshggdh, yes a few of the users that responded seemed to have the savvy to do such17:08
hggdhjtholmes, this was about a soft lockup on the kernel; it would really apply on users having the same/similar kernel backtrace, not (necessarily) for the generic freezes we have seen17:08
hggdhjtholmes, but there is no need to build the kernel, it is already built on jaunty-proposed17:09
jtholmeshggdh, and were is the built one url pls17:09
hggdhyou have to enable jaunty-proposed on synaptic (easiest way)17:10
jtholmesok good to know17:10
hggdhon synaptic, click on Settings/Repositories, select the "Updates" tab, and enable it there17:11
jtholmesright17:11
jtholmesthx17:11
hggdhthen reload, and cherry-pick the kernel (otherwise all -proposed will be added)17:11
jtholmesyeah, getting everything could be a problem, thx17:12
hggdhit is not really *bad*, since most of -proposed will, hopefully, end up in -updates. But it may confuse the issue (when checking for a fix, the ideal is to only update what is *required* to check)17:13
jtholmesalright I will procede with caution17:14
jtholmesthx17:14

nanomadHi all, can anyone help me get a full backtrace for libgl1-mesa-dri? I've followed the wiki but it seems that -dbg pkg doesen't have all the debugging symbols for r300_dri.so18:34

epastorHaving a couple of (unrelated?) problems...20:25
epastorCan anyone help me pin down where they are?20:25
pace_t_zuluhello epastor, what's the problem?20:28
epastorSpecifically, experiencing what looks like Bug 193709... haven't tested the proposed fix yet, plan to soon. Also, having some odd problems associated with either a USB hard drive or sound... that's the one I can't pin down.20:28
ubot4`Launchpad bug 193709 in gnome-power-manager "While working screen-monitor goes blank & doesn't respond to keyboard or/and mouse" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19370920:28
epastorFirst problem: the sound stutters irregularly (at times, every 10 seconds - at others, it'll go for a song or two before stuttering), no apparent association with CPU activity20:29
pace_t_zuluepastor: what version of ubuntu are you using?20:30
epastorI can't tell if it's a Rhythmbox, audio, or USB hard disk problem, since the trouble seems to be related to the drive spinning down.20:30
epastorSorry - Jaunty.20:30
pace_t_zuluhave you tried moving the audio file to the internal drive to rule out USB hard disk problem?20:31
epastorpace_t_zulu: *looks sheepish* Haven't tried that yet. Problem is that it seems to take some time before happening, as mentioned... no apparent pattern.20:32
pace_t_zuluepastor: i would try moving several files to the internal drive and playing them on repeat... if you continue experiencing the problem you can rule out the USB hard disk20:33
epastorpace_t_zulu: Will do. The reason I suspect the disk or Rhythmbox is that I can hear (and see, via its activity light) it spinning up just /after/ the stuttering hits20:33
pace_t_zuluepastor: your suspicion sounds reasonable... the step i suggested would prove/disprove it20:34
epastorpace_t_zulu: I'll check.20:34
pace_t_zuluepastor: let us know20:34
epastorpace_t_zulu: Huh... still stuttering20:42
pace_t_zuluepastor: now you know it isn't a USB hard drive issue20:43
pace_t_zuluepastor: what format are these files?20:43
pace_t_zuluepastor: mp3? m4a?20:43
epastorpace_t_zulu: FLAC, actually20:44
pace_t_zuluepastor: are you familiar with lauchpad?20:44
pace_t_zulu!launchpad20:44
ubot4`Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/20:44
epastorpace_t_zulu: reasonably, yes20:45
pace_t_zuluepastor: did you experience this problem w/ intrepid?20:47
epastorpace_t_zulu: Certainly not as severely, if at all20:47
epastorpace_t_zulu: Just did a quick test - I see stuttering in Totem as well.20:47
pace_t_zuluepastor: it could be the flac codex20:47
pace_t_zulucodec20:47
epastorpace_t_zulu: Seems possible, now. Should I test with some MP3s as well to isolate?20:48
pace_t_zuluepastor: i reckon that would be a good idea20:49
epastorpace_t_zulu: Hm. Duplicated with MP3s in Rhythmbox.20:51
epastorpace_t_zulu: On the internal drive20:52
epastorpace_t_zulu: And with Totem.20:52
pace_t_zuluepastor so you know it is not codec specific nor is it application specific nor is it device (internal hdd or usb hdd) specific... right?20:52
epastorpace_t_zulu: That's what I'd gather.20:52
epastorpace_t_zulu: Doesn't seem to reliably correlate with CPU activity, either - I had the System Monitor open, and generally saw activity spike if I had a long stutter, not for short ones.20:54
pace_t_zuluepastor: does this happen with no other applications open and no user intervention (ie mouse clicks)20:54
epastorpace_t_zulu: Haven't tried it with everything else closed... I'll test it.20:54
epastorpace_t_zulu: Think it's alright to keep XChat up, or kill that too?20:55
pace_t_zulukill it for now... see you in a few20:55
epastorpace_t_zulu: See you on the other side.20:56
epastorpace_t_zulu: Duplicated with every other app shut20:59
epastorpace_t_zulu: in both Rhythmbox and Totem20:59
epastorpace_t_zulu: Seems odd to me... I should mention, I've also been having problems with tracker, to the point where I disabled indexing21:00
pace_t_zuluepastor: do you know which audio controller you have?21:01
epastorpace_t_zulu: Xonar DX - it's the CMI8788, C-Media Oxygen HD21:04
pace_t_zuluepastor: seems to me as if this might be a pulseaudio bug21:06
pace_t_zuluanyone in here disagree???21:06
hggdhsounds possible, yes21:09
hggdhtime to search of similar bugs21:10
hggdhs/of/for/21:10
hggdh(and to folow the sound debugging procedure)21:11
pace_t_zuluhggdh: i have been searching for similar bugs21:16

hggdhhold on21:20
hggdhpace_t_zulu, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems21:21
pace_t_zuluepastor: did you get that link? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems21:24
hggdhalso, dt Chen has published a test pulseaudio, available on his PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~crimsun/+archive/ppa)21:26
pace_t_zuluepastor: you still here?21:26
epastoron the phone... sorry21:26
epastorpace_t_zulu: back. Yes, I got the link21:27
pace_t_zuluepastor: good luck with it... let us know what you come up with21:28
epastorpace_t_zulu: Following the Guide seems to be inapplicable, actually... it seems more directed to "No sound" problems.21:28
hggdhepastor, see also my link to the PPA21:28
epastorhggdh: Will do21:28
hggdhepastor, anyway, the data that needs to be collect is specified there21:29
hggdh(in the DebuggingSound page, I mean)21:29
epastorhggdh: Got it21:29
epastorhggdh: Hm. Tried the test pulseaudio from the PPA - no improvement, but thanks for the link21:36
plarsI'm looking at a bug where someone reported two separate problems, both of which I belive are dups.  Since they are both in a single bug though, not sure which to dup it to21:39
plarsis there a recommended way of dealing with that?  Mark it invalid and reference the two bugs that I believe they are dups of?21:40
hggdhepastor, after installing the PPA pulseaudio, did you logout?21:41
epastorhggdh: Yes21:41
hggdhsigh. OK, please open a new bug with the data & symptoms21:42
epastorhggdh: Will do.21:42
hggdhplars, the required is one issue per bug, one bug per issue.21:42
epastorhggdh: By the way - any simple way to revert to the Jaunty pulseaudio?21:43
plarshggdh: I know, and I've explained that already in the bug21:44
hggdhepastor, easiest is under synaptic: select the pulseaudio package, then Ctrl-E, and select the Jaunty version21:44
plarshggdh: my question was how to deal with it though... my assumption would be to mark it invalid, but still reference the other two bugs that I believe it's a dup of just in case someone hits it on a search, just trying to verify that there is not some other preferred way to deal with it21:45
hggdhplars, OK, thanks. Now, if both issues are indeed dups, provide the links for the original bugs, and select one of them to mark as dup (only one can be selected)21:45
plarsok21:45
hggdhepastor, please also remember to disable the PPA ;-)21:46
epastorhggdh: Did, thanks21:46
epastorhggdh: Do I report against pulseaudio, or under the procedure for unknown audio bug?21:49
hggdhI would go unknown audio bug; we don't really know it is PA21:49
