Toobaz1Hello. Bug #130055 (possibly) was a wishlist, now it is certainly not, since it breaks apt-get. May I ask to change its "Importance" or do you (e.g. persia) suggest to open another?08:21

bdmurraymvo: I noticed that /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log is continuing to be logged to after I completed my dist-upgrade.  Is that by design?16:55
Kamusinhow can I watch normal report from one  that was marked as onehundrerpapercut idea17:00
hggdhKamusin, you mean be alerted on updates to the bug?17:01
KamusinI need see normal view report because was marked as onehundrerpapercut and don't have same options for example to submit upstream17:02
bdmurrayKamusin: what url are you at?17:03
bdmurraythe url indicates the context you are viewing the bug report in17:04

pedro_Kamusin, put something like bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/number17:04
bdmurrayright so you are viewing it in the hundredpapercuts context17:04
bdmurrayand what pedro_ said will fix it for you17:04
Kamusinyep I known , thanks pedro_ , that was :)17:05
pedro_Kamusin, you're welcome17:05
bdmurrayafaik there is no way to switch contexts other than mangling the url17:05
KamusinI wish LP had some button or something more easy ( to remember thinks like that hehe)17:08
mvobdmurray: no, what does the log contain?17:16
mvobdmurray: /var/log/apt/term.log should be the one17:16
bdmurraymvo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/236865/17:19
mvobdmurray: was that from a partial upgrade maybe?17:19
bdmurraymvo: I believe the dist-upgrade was on the 15th and there is stuff later on the 22nd17:19
bdmurraymvo: possibly I have a partial upgrade available right now so could confirm17:20
bdmurraymvo: so that is supposed to happen for partial upgrades?17:42
mvobdmurray: well, not really :) its more a side-effect, I will fix it to write to apt/term.log17:45
bdmurraymvo: cool, thanks!  shall I report a bug about it?17:45
mvobdmurray: yeah, please target it for alpha-4 and assign me17:46

ubot4Launchpad bug 406979 in gnome-settings-daemon "No desktop background" [Undecided,New]20:07
hggdhAaronT125, only thing that would help if to find out what version of Ubuntu, and of g-s-d20:09
hggdhs/only/one/  #sorry20:10
AaronT125hggdh: they are running ubuntu 9.10, i have tried to recreate the bug, with no luck.20:10
hggdhok. The assertion failure is not necessarily important20:11
AaronT125ok20:11
hggdhand we still need to find the version of the g-s-d20:12
AaronT125could you give me an example, of the G-s-d20:12
AaronT125sorry, im very new to this20:13
AaronT125oh, gnome-settings-daemon, right gottcha20:15
hggdhyou can run 'dpkg -l gnome-settings-daemon'20:15
AaronT125thanks20:15
hggdhhum. I just changed my background wallpaper here, adding two jpegs. One was added OK, the other no20:16
AaronT125if i can't recreate the problem or confirm it, should i close the bug, due to lack of information,20:17
hggdhAaronT125, *NO* the fact that you cannot reproduce does not mean the bug does not exist. Are you running Karmic?20:18
AaronT125i am running Karmic now in a virtual machine, i have tried many Gconf edits, to the gnome-settings-daemon , but cannot recreate20:19
hggdhadd a comment you cannot reproduce. We may be missing some other setting20:20
AaronT125ok thank you20:21
hggdh(I am changing the background by going to System/Preferences/Appearance/Background)20:21
AaronT125should i put what i did in the comment20:22
AaronT125such as = I am changing the background by going to System/Preferences/Appearance/Background20:23
AaronT125ill put unconfirmed for now, and leave somebody else who can reproduce the problem to file the bug upstream20:25
AaronT125thanks for helping me20:29
hggdhAaronT125, you are welcome. Thank YOU for helping us20:31
AaronT125:)20:31
yofelhm, there's a gconf key named /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background maybe that got unset for him somehow?20:31
AaronT125yofel: I tried that on karmic, but was unable to get the same error20:32
Kamusinwhat happen with new reports that have been publish like ubuntu brainstorm ideas? there is some defined response to this ?20:35
yofelKamusin: I think that should be handled with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#An%20idea%20to%20improve%20Ubuntu Note the Note ;)20:36
Kamusinyofel, somebody has submited to bugzilla long time ago a report for this too and  problem is still present20:38

=== blueyed_ is now known as blueyed
yofelKamusin: can you add a bugwatch for the bugzilla bug to the lp bug? That should close it then.20:52
mahfouzdidn't Kamusin say the problem is still present?21:15
yofelmahfouz: you're right, I'm reading throught the upstream bug right now, seems to be a quite complex issue21:16
yofelok, the original issue was that in glib mtime wasn't preserved, that was fixed, but many gvfs backends (including sftp) don't support the fix. That was then discussed in another upstream bug that was forgotten it seems (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=527339)21:20
ubot4Gnome bug 527339 in general "gvfs should set file attributes properly" [Normal,Unconfirmed]21:20
yofelKamusin: my final opinion: I would change the bug from nautilus to gvfs since the bug description says its a sftp issue and add a bug watch to the upstream gvfs bug21:23
Kamusinthat sounds more logical :)21:30

Adila01What should I do for bugs that request an updated version of a program that have been assigned to any package?22:30
Adila01that have not been assigned*22:31
bdmurrayAdila01: Do you have an example?22:36
Adila01Like this bug22:36

ubot4Launchpad bug 406602 in ubuntu "Please update VLC to version 1.0.1" [Undecided,New]22:36
Adila01It seem logical to assign it to VLC, but is that the correct way to go about assigning a package to this bug?22:37
bdmurrayAdila01: yes it is22:37
Adila01Ok, thank you so much for your aid22:37
bdmurrayIt seems like there are 2 separate issues, the first is a request for an updated version of a package and the then these other people are commenting about some security vulnerability22:39
Adila01bdmurray: What should I do if there is a request for an undated version.22:41

ubot4Launchpad bug 406628 in ubuntu "Upgrade automake to 1.11" [Undecided,New]22:41
shane__can anyone point me to the documenattion that will tell me exactly how to work with bug reports22:41
Adila01shane_: I believe this is the official site22:41
Adila01https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/KnowledgeBase22:41
bdmurrayAdila01: well, you can help out by moving that bug to the right package22:42
bdmurrayAdila01: you can also check and see if it isn't already available22:43
Adila01bdmurray: I see22:43
shane__what determines whether or not a bug report is incomplete22:47
bdmurrayshane__: the bug report itself combined with the package the bug is about.  Incomplete indicates there isn't enough information to begin working on the bug.22:48

Adila01bdmurray: I have a another question that I hope you may help me with. For this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/406628 , I am unable to assign the bug to the automake1.11 package because it hasn't been published in Ubuntu yet (automake 1.11 isn't in karmic thus a true bug). Should I assign this bug to the latest version of that program which has been already published in Ubuntu? Thanks for helping.23:13
ubot4Launchpad bug 406628 in ubuntu "Upgrade automake to 1.11" [Undecided,New]23:13
bdmurrayAdila01: Isn't automake the package and 1.11 the version?23:13
Adila01bdmurray: Yes23:14
bdmurrayso it should be assigned to the automake package then right?23:15
Adila01bdmurray: Ok, I understand, so I shouldn't apply this bug directly to that particular package version but to the overall package as a whole.23:16
bdmurrayAdila01: right bugs have package tasks not package version tasks23:17
Adila01bdmurray: Ok, I understand now, just out of curiosity, when would it be necessary to assign a particular bug to a package version. Would it be for bugs that only affect a particular version say a bug in Virtualbox 2.0 but not Virtualbox 3.0?23:19
bdmurrayAdila01: launchpad keeps track of package names so if for some reason the package name changed from virtualbox-2 to virtualbox-3 then you would otherwise you wouldn't.23:23
bdmurrayAdila01: a good example of that is with firefox, we have firefox, firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.523:23
bdmurrayAdila01: generally though the version number is not included in the package name.  Does that help?23:24
Adila01bdmurray: I have reread your statements multiple times however I am still confused.23:29
Adila01bdmurray: I think I understand what you are proclaiming. You state that if there are multiple versions of firefox included in the repositories in which a bug only affects one of those packages then you would assign the bug to that particular package version.23:32
bdmurrayAdila01: lets take your virtualbox example if you use the command 'rmadison virtualbox-ose' you'll see that we have multiple different version numbers for different releases.  However, all of these bugs are kept under the virtualbox-ose package23:34
Adila01bdmurray: So if all bugs are kept under virtualbox-ose, thus we would never have a need to apply a particular bug to a package version but just to the overall package. My apologies for having difficulty with this matter.23:37
bdmurrayAdila01: right launchpad bugs doesn't keep track of package versions however they should show up in the bug's description23:38
Adila01bdmurray: I understand now, my mistake was that I assumed assigning bugs to a particular package version was a legitimate course of action due to it showing up in the Launchpad package search feature. Thank you for clearing up my errors.23:41
bdmurrayAdila01: where did this show up?23:41
Adila01bdmurray: I am sorry for the delayed response, I am trying to find a good example. Give me one second.23:50
bdmurrayNo problem23:53
Adila01bdmurray: For example say if I was trying to choose a package to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/406628 and I click on the down arrow under Mark as duplicate and then clicked on choose. You will see not only will there be automake but, also, automake1.10, automake1.11 and so on. Do you see?23:56
ubot4Launchpad bug 406628 in automake "Upgrade automake to 1.11" [Undecided,New]23:56
Adila01Do you see it*23:57
Adila01bdmurray: I often use that choose feature as a search engine for a package that I am trying to find. So far it has helped me quite a bit in finding the correct packages.23:59
