| aguynamedryan | Hello? | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| aguynamedryan | Is anyone around? | 00:49 |
| BUGabundo | yep | 00:51 |
| aguynamedryan | Hello! I have a patch for cpqarrayd, but it looks like the maintainer is associated with debian. Do I have to do anything special to submit the patch, or do I just tack it onto bug 409060 ? | 00:52 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 409060 in cpqarrayd "cpqarrayd crashes while checking for controllers" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/409060 | 00:52 |
| aguynamedryan | BTW, it's a single-character patch :-) | 00:53 |
| BUGabundo | no idea | 00:53 |
| aguynamedryan | Fair enough...I was trying to do the whole "update-maintainer" thing as recommended here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix but it seems like a pain in my butt! | 00:54 |
| Ampelbein | aguynamedryan: where are you stuck with creating a debdiff for the fix? | 01:11 |
| Ampelbein | aguynamedryan: you can get help in #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-devel | 01:12 |
| hggdh | anyway, I submitted the bug to Debian | 02:06 |
| bcurtiswx | you rock hggdh | 02:13 |
| hggdh | thanks, sir. Always glad to help | 02:19 |

| Mike_lifeguard | How can I let developers know their proposed update introduced regressions? | 06:18 |
| kees | Mike_lifeguard: generally a package in -proposed will have bug numbers associated with it (in the top changelog entry in /usr/share/doc/$package/changelog.Debian.gz). I would use one of those bug numbers to report it. if none exist, "ubuntu-bug $package" would probably be best | 07:23 |

| Nullslash | OK, I have really wired problem with my CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor. When I put heavy load on my computer, CPU-Frequency reduce the CPU power to 40% only !! . Even if you switched to performance. Should I report a new bug ? | 09:51 |
| Nullslash | I'm not quite sure if it was hardware or software issue . Because I tried to overload my laptop in Slackware and Fedora, my computer shuts off | 09:54 |
| eboyjr | Hey the firefox update is bad | 10:21 |
| eboyjr | well for me at least | 10:21 |
| davmor2 | eboyjr: what's the problem? | 10:30 |
| eboyjr | davmor2: When I try to start Firefox, I get 'Bus error' in stdout. | 10:31 |
| eboyjr | And it exits. | 10:31 |
| eboyjr | davmor2: I am on 64-bit if you needed to know. | 10:51 |
| davmor2 | eboyjr: on jaunty or karmic? | 10:51 |

| davmor2 | eboyjr: it is working fine for me here. not entirely sure why it's playing up for you. | 10:53 |
| eboyjr | davmor2: Alright thanks | 10:54 |
| eboyjr | :( | 10:54 |
| plars | if a bug is fix-released, then a few weeks later it regresses again, is it more common to open a new bug, or to reopen the old one? | 12:47 |
| kklimonda | what's up with various applications crashing with signal 5 in _XError() ? | 12:48 |
| hggdh | kklimonda, sounds like someone coded a trap in it... | 13:11 |
| hggdh | or in something called by _XError() | 13:11 |
| kklimonda | hggdh: like in he hated us? ;) | 13:12 |
| hggdh | :-) | 13:13 |
| hggdh | are the backtraces top identical? | 13:13 |
| kklimonda | hggdh: yeah | 13:19 |
| hggdh | then I guess you will find, at the top, a breakpoint instruction... then we will have to trace back the changes (or follow the code) to find *why* | 13:23 |
| kklimonda | I've counted over 30 bugs since June with that.. | 13:23 |
| hggdh | kklimonda, perhaps we should really dive in and find the root cause | 13:27 |
| kklimonda | hggdh: I've asked on -desktop if they know anything about it.. | 13:27 |
| kklimonda | hggdh: in one report seb128 asked about graphic card.. | 13:29 |
| hggdh | it *could* be in the driver code -- a trap left on for some sort of difficult-to-reproduce-error, with the developers waiting for someone to get it | 13:31 |

| hggdh | pedro_, ping, good morning, etc. What's the status on the mentoring? | 17:00 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, hello, still waiting for the response of charlie and andres | 17:01 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, need to ping them again, otherwise will look for other candidates | 17:01 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, i'll let you know as soon as i got some news about it | 17:01 |
| hggdh | pedro_, yes, seems both of them are -- rigth now -- MIA for the last few days | 17:05 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, yeap looks like it. well if you see any on IRC please remind them to check their email ;-) | 17:06 |
| hggdh | pedro_, will do. I also just replied to your email asking them about it | 17:06 |
| pedro_ | hggdh, great, thanks ;-) | 17:07 |
| Mike_lifeguard | How can I view the changelog for a -proposed update without installing it? | 17:24 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I /think/ I want the changelog for libnspr4 | 17:26 |
| bdmurray | Mike_lifeguard: you should be able to that on the launchpad on the package page | 17:26 |
| Mike_lifeguard | where are the package pages? | 17:26 |
| bdmurray | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspr | 17:28 |
| Mike_lifeguard | thank you | 17:28 |
| Mike_lifeguard | oh god, this is confusing :D | 17:28 |
| bdmurray | nspr is the source package for libnspr4-0d | 17:28 |
| Mike_lifeguard | yes, looks like libnspr4-0d 4.7.5-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 is what broke things | 17:29 |
| Mike_lifeguard | or maybe not... this looks totally unrelated to the mouse/trackpad/input in general | 17:30 |
| Mike_lifeguard | but the other updates look even more unrelated :\ | 17:36 |

| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 409060 in cpqarrayd "cpqarrayd crashes while checking for controllers" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/409060 | 18:59 |
| BUGabundo | my android G2 arrived WOOT | 19:01 |
| Mike_lifeguard | goutham: longer than you were waiting before, obviously | 19:02 |
| goutham | i am new to debugging so i would be thankful if anyone help me where do i start from | 19:03 |
| aguynamedryan | I think the best place to start is: is there some package that isn't working for you? | 19:03 |
| goutham | no | 19:04 |
| aguynamedryan | Ok. Are there any types of programs that you are interested in working on, like text editors or sound card drivers, etc? | 19:05 |
| goutham | editors would be fine to start off with | 19:06 |
| aguynamedryan | Then I'd check launchpad.net/bugs and see if there are any bugs in pico or some other editor that need fixing | 19:07 |
| hggdh | aguynamedryan, BTW, thank you for your work there | 19:20 |
| hggdh | well, well. goutham is already gone... | 19:21 |
| aguynamedryan | Yeah, goutham had to boogie. I told him I found you to be a helpful guy | 19:22 |
| aguynamedryan | Thanks so much for bumping my ticket into debian land! I really appreciate your help! | 19:22 |
| aguynamedryan | Where do I go to find out why a package is no longer available in the Ubuntu repos, such as bug 350401 | 20:26 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 350401 in ubuntu "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 missing from repository" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/350401 | 20:26 |
| aguynamedryan | I'm concerned that packages like this one aren't being included for a good reason, and I want to know what that reason is | 20:26 |
| maxb | those version numbers sound ancient | 20:28 |
| aguynamedryan | Yes they do! | 20:29 |
| micahg | aguynamedryan: you can usually look on the overview page for the package | 20:31 |
| micahg | it should tell you when it was deleted and usually has a debian bug associated with it | 20:31 |
| aguynamedryan | afk now. thanks for the tip! | 20:31 |
| maxb | The removal reason in this case was "old crack" ! | 20:34 |
| maxb | I have duped bug 350401 against bug 185698 | 20:34 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 350401 in ubuntu "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 missing from repository" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/350401 | 20:34 |

| maxb | aguynamedryan: The reason for not including it is simply that it is ancient and unmaintained | 20:35 |
| hggdh | has it been orphaned on Debian? | 21:08 |
| maxb | It exists only in oldstable | 21:14 |
| === Fluffles is now known as Cuddles | ||
| aguynamedryan | Sorry to step away at an inopportune time guys. Thanks for digging up those bugs. I'd seen 350401 among others, but not the more informative 185698 | 21:17 |
| aguynamedryan | maxb, can you elaborate on what you mean by "oldstable"? Is that a repo for Ubuntu or is this a Debian thing? | 21:18 |
| maxb | oldstable is the term for the previous debian stable release | 21:20 |
| aguynamedryan | Thanks for answering all my noob questions! | 21:27 |
| maxb | aguynamedryan: I should mention that I would be absolutely shocked if that bug ever gets any attention | 21:28 |
| aguynamedryan | I'm not holding my breath | 21:29 |
