=== asac_ is now known as asac [00:48] so many old bugs. [00:48] s/old// [00:48] Well yes, so many bugs [00:49] so many new bugs without a package... [00:49] ~2400 ... [00:49] I'm trying to work bugs back from 2007. [00:51] New / Undecided ~23600 yofel :( [00:52] i know :( [00:53] anybody an idea what to do with bugs filed against ubuntu that are about including packages on the live-cd ? [00:53] are the packages *only* used for the livecd? [00:55] well depends, right now I mean something like bug 400573 which is more a usability issue [00:55] Launchpad bug 400573 in wvdial "[include in live-cd] wvdial (1.60.1+nmu2)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/400573 [00:56] yofel: not sure! you should ask CC [00:56] or some Main dev [00:57] you think that's something worth asking in #ubuntu-devel ? [00:57] At first glance, I wanna say maybe NetworkManager should be worked on to be better, rather than using yet another program to accomplish the same thing. But that's my opinion. [00:57] for a better answer, yeah [00:57] jander99: in this case, sure [00:58] im replying to a more broader case [00:58] for this case I guess asac opinion would be enough [01:01] bug 122619 is about a package no longer in the latest release of Ubuntu, but also again a version that's reached EOL. So how do I tackle this? The package is still valid in supported versions, but the bug is against an older version. [01:01] Launchpad bug 122619 in qtorrent "[apport] qtorrent crashed with AttributeError in __stop()" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/122619 [01:02] won't fix explaining the reasons [01:03] Good enough for me. Thanks [01:03] hmm. i can't choose Wont Fix. [01:03] jander99: Won't Fix is for Bug Control only [01:04] So should I mark incomplete, with the stated reasons? [01:04] write the reason i'll mark it as won't fix [01:04] jander99: no [01:04] Okay. Thanks. [01:05] jander99: i think the report is still valid, looking at the package the code affected has not changed much. and Intrepid is still supported, so why won't fix? [01:05] andresmujica: like the new ajax status thingies on LP ? [01:05] hmm not really [01:05] :S [01:05] (despite the fact that upstream appears dead and there's no further development going on) [01:05] first time i've used i made a mess [01:06] Ampelbein: great thing about bugs: they can always be re-opened [01:06] :)) [01:06] Ampelbein: That's where I'm struggling to figure out where this little bug belongs. The report is filed against a still-active version of qtorrent, but from an older Distro. I don't have a copy of Intrepid to test this on. [01:06] also there are sooo many more alternatives, with active development [01:07] BUGabundo: yeah right. so you close all bugs older than 2 months because they can be reopened? (you can use launchpadlib for that).... just kidding ;-) [01:08] jander99: i'd set to incomplete, asking for confirmation and close after ~4 weeks of no answer. [01:10] Ampelbein: /me is ashamed to admit he doesn't even close his own bugs after stuff getting fixed [01:10] Ampelbein: Done. I also explained 7.04 is EOL but the package is available in Hardy and Intrepid. If it gets a hit confirming the existence in Hardy or Intrepid we can go from there. [01:10] but then again, not many ppl open as many bugs as me :) [01:10] jander99: thanks. [01:12] Ampelbein, no problem. I'm tired of seeing so many bugs that may or may not seem meaningless against the raw number of open bugs. So I'm trying to start with the oldest untouched bugs and get them someplace. [01:13] jander99: feel free to close any of my opened bugs pre-jaunty [01:13] and even those..... [01:14] I'm on karmic so I can't test heh [01:14] jander99: if you have any questions, ping me, I'm usually around [01:14] Well at this point I'm going through "New Undecided" sorted by least recently updated. So I'm dealing with bugs from 2007. [01:14] YoBoY did a great job a few months ago closing over 200 of my bugs [01:15] jander99: I've been filing bugs since 2006 [01:15] eheh [01:15] so you will find bugs from me for sure [01:16] I'm still just finding it hard to determine whether a bug is truly valid or not. I'd rather not invalidate a bug if its of some importance and still exists in the latest stable release or an LTS release. I'd at least like to bring them back to the attention of someone who could make a more definitive choice than I can. [01:17] bugabundo: did you get the multiple volume controls ??? [01:18] andresmujica: yep [01:18] jander99: just keep in mind most of those are now too old.... users gone, users that can't retest, fixed, etc [01:19] a few months ago a triagger touch a bug I filed on 6.10...... yeah right! so now what? kill it [01:55] * BUGabundo stolen from @yofel: gn folks [mv /dev/awake /dev/bed] === Hellow_ is now known as Hellow [03:52] Did I handle this bug right? bug 129702 [03:53] Launchpad bug 129702 in human-cursors-theme ""Loading" mouse pointer's hotspot is off" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/129702 [04:01] * micahg is checking... [04:02] MT-: no, unofrtunately [04:03] what should I have done better? [04:03] I believe he was stating that it still exists on the current ubuntu release [04:03] Your intent was correct [04:03] if the bug was limited to the EOL release it would have been the correct action [04:04] oh - i thought that's how he meant it [04:04] and you were also correct to quote the CoC even though he was aware of it, he was not atbiding by i [04:04] *abiding by it [04:04] so, +1 for effort [04:04] :) [04:05] I'd mark it confirmed and check upstream for a related bug [04:05] * micahg is not quite sure where upstream is for this [04:05] I tried to reproduce it myself on 9.04 [04:05] and to save yourself anotehr screaming match [04:05] oh? [04:05] and it doesn't happen? [04:05] no [04:06] I'm wondering if him using the prereleased version may have screwed up a config though [04:06] then set back to incomplete and see if the user is running 9.04 [04:06] possibly [04:06] * micahg doesn't know too much about themes [04:06] possibly video driver related? [04:06] are you using the fglrx driver? [04:07] I am on my desktop [04:07] My laptop is just intel :( [04:08] micahg: would lspci be helpful perhaps? [04:08] lshw -C video will tell you [04:09] his original report showed fglrx [04:09] neat command :) [04:10] micahg: what command shows what driver is being used? [04:10] what do you mean? [04:11] to see if they actually are using fglrx? [04:11] in the output of lshw -C video, it shows the driver usually [04:11] http://pastebin.com/f4404f48d [04:12] line 11 :) [04:12] oh - mine doesn't have that :P [04:12] it doesn't have a configuration line? [04:13] configuration: latency=0 [04:13] that's the line [04:14] ah, then are you using hte free intel drivers? [04:14] yup [04:15] yeah, I think it only displays restricted drivers [04:15] but I"m not sure [04:15] oh [04:17] Is it only a gnome issue? [04:17] or any flavor of ubuntu with the theme? [04:18] * micahg can test with fglrx [04:18] how do I enable a theme? [04:18] you means there's more than just one flavor!? :P - I forget that there's anything other than a cli install sometimes. [04:19] * micahg is running Xubuntu [04:19] gnome-apearance-properties i believe [04:19] * micahg doesn't have that... [04:19] * MT- has no idea [04:19] * micahg might have a live CD around... [04:20] * MT- uses obconfig :P [04:20] * micahg will try with a LiveCD in Virtualbox [04:20] actually - all I use anymore is vim .conf/opebbox/rc.xml :P [04:20] that's what I did - except I installed [04:25] a VM test might not be valid [04:26] it has its own video drivers [04:27] that's what I did first - I did try my desktop with the fglrx driver too [04:29] micahg: If a bug is confirmed, where do you assign a bug in the mouse? [04:30] Hi all. I'm working on resolving an older bug, number 125609, and the issue is with the source package from the maintainer of that package. How do I deal with this case? [04:31] er, bug 125609 [04:31] Launchpad bug 125609 in irqbalance "X is required to build irqbalance" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/125609 [04:33] MT- what do you mean? [04:34] jander99: have you seen the reply to that bug? [04:34] micahg: I was looking at another bug with the mouse pointer and I confirmed it. [04:35] ah, ok [04:35] MT-: I would ask in #ubuntu-x [04:36] micahg: Yes, I've read it. I can confirm the bug exists as the reporter has stated. Should I file a bug upstream and just label it confirmed? The upstream is google code, and I'd rather not file the bug myself. But its not actually a bug in Ubuntu, just the package itself. [04:37] ok [04:37] jander99: are the build dependencies actually required? [04:38] micahg: Makefile for irqbalance calls gccmakedep (which I don't have on my system). I guess I could fire up my VM and see how to get gccmakedep [04:41] jander99: you can check on packages.ubuntu.com [04:42] MT-: was the theme bug that the arrow and the spinner show? [04:44] jander99: that's in xutils-dev [04:45] I don't understand why you need to buld xutils-dev to make a package with it [04:45] micahg: Thanks, packages.ubuntu.com is being terribly slow for me. So I think its confirmed for Ubuntu, yet its an issue for the maintainer of the package, not for Ubuntu. [04:45] *build [04:45] yeah [04:45] it seems to be broke [04:45] I had it installed [04:45] so I checked with dpkg -S executable [04:45] ugh [04:46] you know what I mean [04:46] micahg: it was that the pointer moves when going from the waiting to normal pointer [04:47] "As this pointer has a throbber superimposed onto a normal arrow" [04:47] micahg: Yes, thank you. I guess I'll mark as confirmed, at least in the way he worded it. I'm trying to see how far back this particular version goes. I could direct the reporter to file a bug with the package maintainer. hmm. [04:47] jander99: I don't know if it is confirmed [04:47] I'd say hop in #ubuntu-x and ask them [04:48] MT-: not quite sure what a throbber is [04:48] it has the spinner on the arrow [04:48] it doesn't move... [04:48] at least in the LiveCD [04:48] again, maybe it's an fglrx issue [04:48] * micahg would probably need gnome to test and that's not happening :) [04:49] I tested in gnome [04:49] indeed, but you don't have fglrx [04:49] I don't test much on this system - it's pretty trimmed down [04:49] I do on my desktop ;) [04:49] you can hop in #ubuntu-x and see if anyone has fglrx and gnome [04:49] is that where you tested? [04:49] yup [04:50] 64 bit or 32 but? [04:50] *bit [04:50] 32 [04:50] ok [04:50] it's an old old junker [04:50] with what version of Ubuntu, Jaunty? [04:50] ya [04:51] MT-: actually apport-collect would probably be better [04:52] we need to confirm he is on Jaunty [04:52] MT-: have you seen the responses page? [04:52] sorry [04:52] just saw your comment on the bug [04:53] I wonder if this would be the right package for that mouse bug - xserver-xorg-input-mouse [04:53] bug #? [04:53] 259060 [04:53] bug 259060 [04:53] Launchpad bug 259060 in human-cursors-theme "left handed cursor does not switch pointer orientation" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/259060 [04:54] hmmm [04:54] what did ubuntu-x say? [04:54] nothing yet [04:55] quiet bunch in there. [04:55] well, it is the weekend [04:55] Yeah. [04:55] and the people in europe are still sleeping [04:55] weekend is the busiest time for me [04:55] MT-: I would say it depends if there is already some way for the theme to know if it's right or left handed [04:56] if that exists and the theme is choosing to display the same thing, it's a wishlist in the theme [04:56] I tried other themes with the same result [04:56] otherwise, it would be in the theme and the mouse driver [04:56] idk if that changes anything [04:56] MT-: same as? [04:56] it changes or no? [04:56] no change [04:57] i suspect it's not just ubuntu though [04:57] I don't wanna test either :P [04:57] ok, I'd say check with ubuntu-x tomorrow to see if that's supported [04:57] ok [04:58] no point in making lots of noise in the bugs [04:58] thanks :) [04:59] np, feel free to come back with more questions [04:59] I think bug stuff is done for me tonight - I need to go to work soon. I'm thinking of getting there about 0000 instead of my nromal 0200 [04:59] ah, ok [04:59] * micahg is just starting for the night :) [04:59] micahg, I downloaded the irqbalance package and the Makefile has gccmakedep in it as well. I think the Ubuntu package is just a debianized version of the vanilla package. [05:00] that's why my ssytem was running hot! [05:00] that's usually how it is jander99 [05:00] I left the vm on [05:00] ah [05:00] jander99: can you make it with just xutils-dev installed? [05:01] I'll try that, stepped outside for a moment. Built a VM today and snapshotted it with a default Jaunty64 install. [05:01] Gonna come in handy heh. [05:17] micahg: Thanks for your help, getting late here so I'll work on this bug tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some sort of resolution. :) [05:34] ok [05:37] @config list plugins.bantracker.bansite [05:37] MT-: Error: 'supybot.plugins.bantracker.bansite' is not a valid configuration variable.

I just changed the Makefile so it used gcc instead of gccmakedep and thus ends the dependency of xutils-dev [18:23] bcurtiswx: not yet, because while gathering info to report the bug, I seem to resolve it [18:23] jander99: process for patches is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU#MOTU Processes [18:23] that's not right...

[18:24] jander99: does the programs need xutils though? [18:25] well, doesn't look like it by the dependencies [18:25] ... [18:25] micahg, no, as far as I can tell it only depends on xutils because the Makefile calls a binary in it.

[18:47] more like a "hello world" type gnome code [18:47] give beginners a taste [18:48] bcurtiswx: #ubuntu-motu would be the place to ask I think... [18:57] "micahg1 seems to be unliked too. He/She got beaten 1 times. " [18:57] "pedro_ is a very loving person. He hugged others 14 times.

[19:00] bcurtiswx: better register that and merge with your nick :) === bcurtiswx is now known as bcurtiswx1 === bcurtiswx1 is now known as bcurtiswx [19:02] done [19:04] why are some people blue [19:07] ah? [19:08] * BUGabundo points finger to Gender separation!!! bad andresmujica [19:09] * micahg thinks it's fairly random [19:15] no Gender separation!! until a few months ago i was pretty sure that lean was a male name.. until i saw a video from her !!! [19:16] heehhehehehe [19:16] andresmujica: sent you the avatar link. did you get ir ? [19:16] *it [19:16] micahg: I think I've gotten this bug triaged correctly. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything else I can do? bug 125609 [19:16] Launchpad bug 125609 in irqbalance "X is required to build irqbalance" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/125609 [19:16] yeap.. just regenerated the page.. let's take a look [19:17] jander99: what do you think the importance should be? [19:17] !importance [19:17] You can learn about setting bug importance at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance [19:18] Considering there is a binary available, and this is a very corner case, I'd say low. [19:18] I agree [19:19] andresmujica: any way to link google code bugs up top, or does there need to be a project for the package? [19:20] hmm, i believe a project for the package is needed.. not sure... [19:20] jander99: you should probably subscribe to receive updates and update the bug if upstream gets back to you [19:20] ok [19:20] I'm going to mark triaged -> Low as jander99 upstreamed it [19:20] micahg: Thanks. :) [19:20]
