[14:42] <gilligan_> hi
[14:43] <gilligan_> could anyone give me some hints on what I could do to improve the following bug report to make it more useful ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/413989   (network-manager/ppp/gsm usb modem/...)
[14:43] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 413989 in ubuntu "karmic: connection through usb GSM stick stopped working" [Undecided,New]
[14:43] <gilligan_> ah..handy bot ;)
[15:00] <fader> gilligan_: It's tough to say without knowing what the developers will want to see.  Offhand I'd suggest adding the output of "sudo lspci -vnvn" and trying to find a more specific project than 'ubuntu' for the bug
[15:00] <fader> gilligan_: E.g. if you're using NetworkManager to make this connection, that might be a good place to put the bug to start.  (It might get reassigned from there, but it's the right general direction.)
[15:02] <fader> gilligan_: Ah, just noticed that it's a USB device, so 'sudo lsusb -v' is probably more appropriate than lspci
[15:02] <gilligan_> fader, okay thanks
[15:03] <fader> gilligan_: No problem.  Beyond that I'm afraid you'll have to wait and see what the devs ask you for :)
[15:03] <gilligan_> fader, was really wondering what I should assign it to since network manager might behaving perfectly fine and it's the modem driver misbehaving .. it's quite odd as it works perfectly fine under Jaunty. The ppp package hasn't even changed so I guess that one is sort of out of the equation
[15:04] <gilligan_> fader, yeah.. i'll just hope others will run into a similar problem ;)
[15:04] <fader> gilligan_: It might be a kernel issue then, but I'm not familiar with the hardware in question personally so I can't say
[15:04] <fader> Regardless, it's a good idea to try to get it into something a little more specific, even if it's the wrong thing :)
[15:08] <gilligan_> fader, yep..doing so right now
[15:23] <gilligan_> fader, oh..also I just realized that network-manager logs into daemon.log which i can append ;]
[15:23] <fader> gilligan_: Excellent... the more information, the better!
[15:26] <gilligan_> fader, the crappy part is that each time I try this it costs 2.50/day x_X hehe
[15:27] <fader> Ugh :(
[15:31] <gilligan_> ok..got way more info now though.. network manager is stuck at stage 4 (IP Configure Get) and never makes it to Stage 5 (IP Configure Commit)
[15:41] <gilligan_> hm.. how can I start modem-manager with the --debug argument ? If I kill the already running modem-manager process it is started again right away an I can't start it with other arguments .. dunno where it is started from
[15:42] <gilligan_> ah..never mind
[15:46] <gilligan_> hm.. still haven't figured out how I can run modem-manager with --debug option..anyone?
[15:51] <fader> gilligan_: You might have better luck asking in #ubuntu... there are more people active there
[15:51] <fader> This channel is more for coordinating QA testing for Ubuntu, especially around CD image release times
[15:51] <fader> (So everybody is asleep here :) )
[15:52] <gilligan_> fader, ok.. i just tried my luck there as well ;)
[17:22] <cr3> eeejay: http://www.entropykey.co.uk/
[17:22] <eeejay> thanks cr3 :)
[17:23] <cr3> eeejay: now we can run those key generation tests :)
[22:02] <fader> cr3: Good news... 100% of machines I tested (sample size: 1) work for audio testing by directly connecting the output to the input, playing the gstreamer test tone, and looking for silence!
[22:04] <fader> Also, I can't help but read that back in the voice of the Professor from Futurama.
[22:28] <cr3> fader: so when is my next mission to planet euphoria?
[22:29] <fader> cr3: Right after you deliver this box to the Doom Planet in the Zone of Horrors.
