I'm looking at bug 410126 which seems fairly incomplete to me... and the wiki says to change the status and then add to the "Comment on this change" field--which doesn't appear to exist. Just add a comment to the bug, and the subscribers should be e-mailed, yes? [05:28] Launchpad bug 410126 in gnome-terminal "install real player 11 gold" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/410126 [05:30] yes, you change status to what's appropriate and comment [05:30] kk. [05:30] You can do that at the top of the bug vs the bottom [05:39] grepory: is that you, grep in the bug? [05:39] yeah [05:39] ok, so first, there was no commnet [05:39] *nod* i was still writing it [05:40] ok [05:40] heh. a little slow. i am stealing your "Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu." [05:40] if you click the little arrow at the top of the bug, you can enter the comment and change the status at the same time [05:40] one has to wonder how the guy ever thought that was an appropriate bug report. [05:40] well [05:41] it oculd be a packaging request in a bad form [05:41] i was going to try to be diplomatic about it [05:41] Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Would you mind clarifying what, specifically, you were attempting to do? If there was a problem during Realplayer 11 Gold installation process, please describe it. It would also be helpful to include steps to recreate the problem. [05:41] fair? helpful? [05:41] well, we don't support medibuntu [05:41] micahg: yeah, that was my first thought [05:41] oops [05:42] I meant real player [05:42] medibuntu does [05:42] * Hobbsee would be surprised if realplayer was even redistrubutable [05:42] * redistributable [05:42] so you can convert to question and use the medibuntu text on teh responses page [05:42] i don't think it is. [05:46] grepory: you still there? [05:46] sorry [05:46] it's ok [05:47] my internet connection is comcastic [05:47] just wanted to make sure I didn't scare you off :) [05:47] so on top of what i said, maybe see if it's a packaging request as well? [05:47] that was an unusual bug :) [05:47] heh [05:47] no [05:47] yeah [05:47] you should convert to question as we cannot pacakge it [05:47] ahh. k [05:47] and use the medibuntu response text [05:47] as they have it [05:48] well [05:48] actually [05:48] use the support reqyuest text for convert to qeustion [05:48] and then in the answer tracker, use the medibuntu text [05:49] sorry for the confusion [05:49] nono it's ok [05:49] i gotcha. [05:54] well that was satisfying and easy. [05:54] grepory: Great job! [05:55] micahg: thanks! [05:57] Hobbsee: is signing the CoC requried for BugSquad? [05:57] micahg: i've no idea. I'd expect you'd need to be an ubuntero for bugsquad, but they probably don't check it. [05:58] grepory: you might want to check that out on your launchpad user home paage [05:59] micahg: will do [05:59] great [06:05] micahg: it's required for bugcontrol [06:06] ah, ok [06:07] all done [06:07] thanks for pointing that out. [06:40] 410092 should probably be a question as well. i was actually able to reproduce the bug--accidentally when i realized i imported contacts incorrectly. [07:05] good morning bugsquad [07:09] gubordig [07:11] and goodnite! [12:19] * grepory yawns and stretches [12:37] either pidgin is full of fail or jabber.org is worthless [12:37] i've not experienced pidgin fails [12:38] and use jabber in pidgin [12:39] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/410246 [12:39] Launchpad bug 410246 in pidgin "Adding contacts (buddies) fails epically - double contacts, can not delte, bad authorization" [Undecided,New] [12:39] grepory: are you in jabber.org?

[12:44] o [12:44] i'll look this evening, if someone else doesn't get to it first. [12:52] added screenshot http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30000139/jabber-fail-3-times-contact.png [12:55] have you tried another xmpp service like google talk? [12:57] not so much yet perhaps later [12:58] I see this bug very very often. please set it to medium when confirmed, it embarasses open IMs imho [13:01] LimCore, I often experience this problem too [13:01] andrea-bs: are you using jabber.org or another xmpp service? [13:02] grepory, jabber.org [13:04] perhaps jabber.org is just worthless as I initially stated [13:04] what is other popular open service to test on later? [13:05] LimCore: I think that's fixed in 2.6.0 [13:05] limcore: i use google talk.

[13:09] this really sucks, because, as result of this mess usually at least 2 part of the contact pair seems other as offline (not authorized) [13:09] it's likely that you won't see 2.6.0 in ubuntu for a bit, as it's not yet released. [13:09] current version is 2.5.8 [13:11] i'm going to mark the bug you filed as a duplicate of 138190. [13:11] thx. also copy link to screenshot plz [14:23] hey guys wtf, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/138190 [14:24] this really should be IMHO medium [14:24] Launchpad bug 138190 in pidgin "Pidgin duplicates contacts in jabber/xmpp" [Unknown,Fix released] [14:24] it annoys every user of pidgin (one of main free IM) [14:27] i'm not on bugcontrol so i can't set the importance, but i'd probably agree with you. it depends on what Core and Non-Core applications are. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance [14:40] wow, nice new launchpad bits [15:42] Hobbsee: hmmm?

[15:50] hey pedro, I put the brainstorm comment there and wanted to mark it as invalid, but the wiki just says to put my above message on irc, should I update it to include mark as invalid as well? [15:51] *should i update the wiki [15:55] nanoman128, mm the doc on the wiki is not really clear about it, it says feature request which not all of them should be send to brainstorm [15:55] nanoman128, if a package is affected we should rather send them upstream (if it's an upstream package) [15:56] nanoman128, but that bug is more like an idea to improve ubuntu [15:56] I'm looking at this page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#An%20idea%20to%20improve%20Ubuntu [15:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#An%20idea%20to%20improve%20Ubuntu [15:56] we should probably make that more clear [15:57] nanoman128, right, i was looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/#Feature%20Requests [15:57] ok [15:57] which is not the same description but the same response is used there... [15:57] nanoman128, we should probably update that anyways ;-) [15:58] yea [15:58] nanoman128, will update that shortly [15:58] thanks for raising it [15:59] np. thanks pedro_ === ejat is now known as e-jat === pedro__ is now known as pedro_ [17:44] Does anyone have any thoughts what package might be to blame for key mappings for the numeric keypad being broken in karmic? [17:45] erm, weird [17:46] my numpad is apparently trying to emulate a mouse [18:09] maxb: perhaps by accident enabled some handicaped mode [18:09] * accesibility [18:09] It seems so [18:09] Shift+NumLock turned it off again [18:14] interesting. [18:14] maybe now i can finally stop using a mouse for good. [19:50] hi, can someone set bug 391768 to high please?

Main free IM (pidgin) is failing in its basic functionality (contact list!) almost every time [21:42] Launchpad bug 138190 in pidgin "Pidgin duplicates contacts in jabber/xmpp" [Low,Fix committed] [21:43] its not just duplicates, it the fact that users there are NOT authorized [21:53] LimCore - why bother changing the importance? it's fixed upstream already - changing the importance won't achieve anything other than mailing everyone subscribed to it [21:53] hey chrisccoulson [21:53] hey BUGabundo [21:56] chrisccoulson: so what needs to be done to have this fixed for regular users? [21:57] of ubuntu [21:57] LimCore - it will be in the next update of Pidgin in karmic [21:57] 9.04 users need it also, as well as 8.10 [21:57] why do they need it? it's not a bug that bothers many users, otherwide we'd get lots of duplicates [21:58] that bug has only one duplicate and not many subscribers [21:58] it's hardly SRU worthy [22:05] chrisccoulson: it is a bug that affects EVERY user [22:06] of this IM/protocol (most popular) [22:06] ok, except users that have 0 contacts ;) [22:06] LimCore - but it's still not an important issue. If it was, then users would be complaining everywhere. the fact that they aren't means most people aren't that bothered about it [22:06] I recently seen 2 people with Pidgin and ubuntu, of course both where affected [22:06] on top of my 3 PCs [22:07] and it doesn't affect every user - i'm not affected by it [22:07] chrisccoulson: it is not totall blocker of functionallity sure, but it is annoying as hell [22:07] chrisccoulson: really? what is your jabber jid? [22:07] i don't use jabber [22:07] [23:06] of this IM/protocol (most popular) [22:08] and even if it affects every user using that protocol, it's not something that is going to affect people day-to-day [22:09] sure, just all people that try to use most popular open source IM on most popular open source protocol [22:09] it's not worth risking a regression that could seriously effect lots of people for a small issue that only really bothers a small number of people [22:09] unless you think that a serious regression is worth the risk for a fix for a small issue? [22:09] and big number of people is using which open source IM and protocol? [22:10] if you would be so nice to say [22:10] if it really bothered people that much on a day-to-day basis, then we'd see lots of duplicates and lots of people subscribed to that bug, and people complaining everywhere [22:11] but there arent [22:11] sure, everyone is reporting bugs [22:11] that is magical thinking to asume all users are good reporters [22:11] well I actually talked to users that encounter this problems [22:12] they are simply confused and blame it on Jabber - oh it is the way it works (omg what a crazy protocol, cant this open source guys do anything correct) [22:12] i still don't think it's worth a SRU, but i don't make those decisions anyway [22:12] because Jabber/XMPP failure will be one of first thing they encounter after switch to linux (web browser, im, etc) [22:13] that patch to fix this bug ALONE is rather short and simple, perhaps just apply it on top of current version [22:14] guys? good idea? [22:14] short and simple patches can still cause serious regressions [22:14] true [22:14] but we will test first [22:15] if I can provide testing for it, then could we do it then [22:15] there are lots of small bugs in the stable releases, and there will always be a small number of users who think that a particular bug that affects them should be fixed above everything else - what makes this bug so different to the hundreds of other small bugs that could be fixed in the stable release? [22:16] !sru [22:16] Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [22:16] it is very visible, happens always, and confuses/annoys users ALWAYS (for this, most popular, IM/protocol) [22:16] ^^^ that gives a pretty good idea of what is acceptable for a SRU [22:17] LimCore, but how many times a day will the average user experience this bug? does it affect their normal day-to-day work with this protocol? [22:17] if he does not know workaround, then he will either - see 2-3 copies of same contact with different status (annoying, confusing) [22:17] or he will be not authorized to this contact (possibly blocking communication) [22:18] annoying, confusing - yes, but just like many other small bugs in the stable releases [22:18] or, it can look like if the other user suddenly blocked him. "omg my wife just banned me - I guess that thing with ex was serious for her after all!!!" ;) [22:19] its not a bug like a typo or like not nice icon - its a bug where I can't establish double-side authorization, NEEDED to use xmpp properly/fully! [22:20] which bug is this? [22:21] look at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30000139/jabber-fail-3-times-contact.png - details - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/138190 [22:21] Launchpad bug 138190 in pidgin "Pidgin duplicates contacts in jabber/xmpp" [Low,Fix committed] [22:21] ch [22:22] chrisccoulson: in addition, when in the chat window, you always see the other person as offline! [22:23] pidgin provides their own backports [22:23] https://edge.launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ppa [22:23] nice. but, my goal here is to have it working for newbie users [22:23] it probably will in karmic [22:24] I have never seen this bug [22:24] they just want to use IM, not to learn about PPAs (yet). And they cant even authorize buddies in this Open source communicator - ah screw this communism I will go use ICQ! ;) [22:24] LimCore: anyways, most newbies don't use jabber [22:24] what they use? [22:24] AIM, MSN, or yahoo [22:25] people that got convinced to switch to linux seem to use it a lot for IM [22:25] and from the profile of pro-opensource users? [22:26] and the pidgin ppa is listed on pidgin.im [22:39] it would appear in Poland Jabber is more popular; Just jabber or gadu-gadu; probably because aim/msn/yahoo/icq was not popular [22:44] LimCore: well, more popular and popular are two different things ;}
