[00:07] <kklimonda> any idea what to do with bug 292517?
[00:07] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 292517 in transmission ""Add a torrent" file dialog unusable" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/292517
[00:07] <kklimonda> <kklimonda> charles_: hmm.. I'll ask on #ubuntu-bugs.. I'd mark it probably as Fix released as it's "fixed" in newer version of Ubuntu/Transmission.. but what was exactly fixed is another issue..
[00:09] <micahg> kklimonda: is anyone else affected?
[00:10] <kklimonda> micahg: no as far as I know.
[00:10] <micahg> You shouldn't mark it fix released unless you know what's fixed
[00:10] <micahg> As far as I understand the policy
[00:11] <micahg> you can check the changelog to transmission to see if it's listed
[00:11] <micahg> otherwise, I'd mark invalid if no one is affected anymore
[00:12] <kklimonda> no, transmission's dev is the one who made the last comment and he also doesn't know what was it. It sounds similar to a gtk+ bug I've seen few times but then it shouldn't be fixed by installing newer version of Transmission.
[00:13] <micahg> well, does the new transmission rely on a newer GTK lib
[00:13] <micahg> ?
[00:14] <kklimonda> newer transmision was installed on 8.10 from PPA so gtk+ wasn't updated..
[00:14] <charles_> no, it doesn't
[00:14] <micahg> ok
[00:14] <charles_> I'm not saying it's fixed, or not fixed
[00:14] <micahg> so maybe it was something specific in the usage of GTK in transmission that's been fixed
[00:14] <charles_> but the OP is now on Vista and can't respond to questions
[00:14] <micahg> and the other GTK fixes fixed it globally?
[00:14] <micahg> ok
[00:14] <micahg> so mark invalid
[00:15] <micahg> and if user switches back and has an isssue, user can reopen
[00:15] <charles_> is there a stock comment for this? :)
[00:15] <micahg> not really
[00:15] <micahg> this would be
[00:15] <micahg> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Bugs%20resolved%20after%20update%20or%20config%20change
[00:15] <micahg> if user could confirm
[00:16] <micahg> but maybe you can tweak
[00:16] <micahg> instead of being fixed, say user is unable to test or something

[15:19] <bcurtiswx> so theres a bug, thats has a fix upstream.. does this mean the ubuntu bug can be marked fix released?  or do i have to wait for it to be uploaded to ubuntu
[15:22] <pedro_> bcurtiswx: second option
[15:23] <bcurtiswx> pedro_: thx :)
[15:23] <pedro_> you're welcome
[15:27] <bcurtiswx> pedro_: would fix-committed be appropriate,  or is that only for people who have been assigned to the bug?

[16:31] <hggdh> plars, try the activity log
[16:31] <hggdh> (not sure it will be there, though)
[16:32] <hggdh> plars, worst scenario, the ubuntu-bugs mailinglist archives will have it, since an email will be sent out to the list
[16:33] <plars> that had it, thanks hggdh

[17:11] <kklimonda_> is apport still disabled in karmic?
[17:11] <hggdh> kklimonda_, it should not
[17:11] <seb128> by default yes
[17:12] <seb128> we get enough bugs already
[17:12] <seb128> there is usually no point to get flooded by crash bugs in early unstable versions
[17:21] <hggdh> at which point is apport enabled, then? Late alphas, or beta?
[17:26] <seb128> hggdh: before beta, could be for the next alpha version

[19:29] <vimpulse> hi all.  I'm currently not running Ubuntu.  But I wonder:  In Ubuntu, does a bug reporting tool, or at least a friendly dialog box, pop up when an application has an X protocol error such as BadMatch and suddenly quits?
[19:34] <andresmujica> we've got apport for that
[19:34] <andresmujica> it's enabled by default during the develpment cycle and then disabled by default (as far as i know)
[19:34] <hggdh> on standard releases, indeed
[19:35] <andresmujica> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport
[19:46] <vimpulse> I googled some more.  I saw one user mention (in 2008) that Apport didn't open when they got a BadMatch X error:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-892466.html .  1.  Are you sure that apport pops up when a BadMatch happens?  2.  What if someone is running an LTS release and an app quits with an X error?  Do they get any friendly dialog box that tells them what the error was?  3.  In general, when Ubun
[19:46] <vimpulse> it suddenly quits within 10 seconds of starting up, does Ubuntu display a dialog box showing its stdout and stderr?
[20:08] <hggdh> vimpulse, (1) no, I am not sure. If you have such an error, you can check it (I do not); (2) by default apport is disabled on stable releases; (3) no, but details of the error should be available on the logs
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
[20:19] <vimpulse> In the case where an app *segfaults* on an LTS version of Ubuntu, what happens?  Does the app simply disappear with no dialog box to tell you what happened?
[20:21] <micahg> vimpulse: sometimes you'll get notified
[20:21] <hggdh> in the case an app "sig"-faults -- be it any signal -- on any Ubuntu release (except the devel one), then there will be not much indication of the failure, except if the app itself traps the fault
[20:22] <micahg> vimpulse: you can enable apport on a stable release if you wish
[20:22] <Pici> sig?
[20:22] <hggdh> signal, Pici
[20:22] <hggdh> sigsegv, sigabrt, sigill, etc
[20:22] <vimpulse> why not enable Apport by default even on LTS releases?  That way, segfaults will be more apparent.
[20:22] <mrooney> chrisccoulson: don't forget that if you dupe a bug you have to carry over any tasks that don't exist on the dipe
[20:22] <micahg> vimpulse: not everyone wants to submit bugs
[20:23] <vimpulse> micahg:  they won't have to.  But the fact that apport appears will make it clear that the program crashed.
[20:23] <micahg> yes, but the purpose of apport in ubuntu AFAIK is to submit bugs to launchpad
[20:23] <vimpulse> micahg:  ok fine, here's another idea.  You could show a dialog like Vista does.  "This program crashed.  Close it or restart it?"
[20:24] <micahg> I think KDE apps might already do that
[20:24] <mrooney> chrisccoulson: *dupe, otherwise you lose data like you did with the papercuts bug
[20:24] <rendero> hello, in kde, sometimes all icons disappear
[20:25] <rendero> when i put the cursor on them
[20:25] <rendero> is there a bug about

[20:25] <rendero> ok
[20:25] <micahg> please :)
[20:25] <vimpulse> rendero:  and once you get there,
[20:26] <hggdh> heh
[20:26]  * micahg winks at hggdh
[20:27] <vimpulse> rendero:  please say your whole question on one long long line, since each time you press Enter, you cause perhaps 100K or even half a megabyte to go out over the Internet.
[20:27] <micahg> maybe we should change this to ubuntu-triage?
[20:27] <hggdh> vimpulse, I also consider this a nice option
[20:27] <vimpulse> hggdh:  a nice option for what?
[20:27] <vimpulse> micahg:  if you named it that, I wouldn't've found it.  Debian calls theirs #debian-bugs, and I think other distros name theirs similarly too.
[20:27] <hggdh> vimpulse, sorry, we lost context: a pop-up stating the app crashed, restart/no/report
[20:28] <vimpulse> hggdh:  yes
[20:28] <hggdh> vimpulse, why not propose it on brainstorm?
[20:28] <micahg> vimpulse: we have a list of ubuntu IRC channels at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[20:29] <vimpulse> micahg:  i never check that list, I just guess :)
[20:29] <vimpulse> (I used to use Ubuntu.)
[20:29] <vimpulse> hggdh:  do good ideas from brainstorm really have a good chance of getting implemented?
[20:29] <micahg> hggdh: +1
[20:29] <vimpulse> hggdh:  am I better off filing a bug against apport?

[20:39] <hggdh> micahg, I would say yes. Being completely serious is a bore... being critical of oneself, on the other hand, is very good (and some say it is a genetic trait :-)
