micahghello04:53
madmetali am using ubuntu 64bit and it froze three times in a row tonight , any ideas where to search logs ?04:54
micahgmadmetal: which version of Ubuntu04:54
madmetal9.0404:54
madmetali am on system log viewer but i can't find anything04:55
micahgI'd say enable apport and when you come back from the system crash, it will probably want to report a bug04:55
micahgmadmetal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How to enable apport04:56
micahgugh04:56
madmetalits enabled04:56
micahgok04:56
micahgand it doesn't ask you to submit a report?04:56
madmetalnop04:56
madmetalcause its not an app that crashes the whole system freezes and i have to reboot04:57
micahg'/var/log/syslog' would be the place to look04:57
micahgor '/var/log/Xorg.0.log'04:58
madmetalfound this ubuntu console-kit-daemon[2537]: WARNING: Couldn't read /proc/2536/environ: Failed to open file '/proc/2536/environ': No such file or directory05:02
madmetalbut i can't get more infos05:02

micahg^arky^: no, you have do move the dups first, then you can dupe it08:51
^arky^awwe, micahg ok I do that08:51
micahgthanks for your help ^arky^08:52
^arky^ns, I hope to get your guidance to be good bug squasher08:52
^arky^in future08:53
micahganytime you have a question, just come in here08:53
micahgthere's usually someone here08:53
micahgexcept tonight is usually slow08:53
^arky^ok, will do that. I will hanging around in here when I am doing my 5 a day08:55
micahgcool08:55
micahgcan I ask what type of bugs you've been going after?08:55
^arky^right now, I looked at speech-dispatcher, gnome-orca dups and patches08:56
^arky^mostly low-hanging fruits like unlinked bugs , dups etc..08:56
micahgok08:56
^arky^I sometimes give patches for gnome UI (bitesize)08:57
^arky^buzz me, if you have some stuff for me to help out with, I am new member bugsquad and this is first active 5-a-day08:57
micahgwell, generally, now I think we're looking at adopting packages and trying to make sure all the major packages have someone triaging bugs regularly08:58
^arky^what mean by adopting package, like keep on eye of packages that you know about and use regularly08:59
micahgyeah09:00
^arky^I work with gnome-orca and gnome a11y upstream, so I usually try to triaging them09:00
micahgok, that sounds great09:01
micahgdo they have a lot of open bugs?09:01
^arky^no, not much09:01
^arky^most of bugs are give directly upstream09:01
^arky^when we get a bug, I test if its ubuntu specific or push it upstream09:02
micahggreat09:02
micahgso, if that doesn't keep you busy, I'd suggest just adding 1 package at a time that you're familiar with09:02
micahgwe're actually going to discuss this at the next meeting09:03
micahghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Meeting09:03
^arky^ok, then I drop in the next bug squad meeting09:03
^arky^ok, then I think adopt one or two package I mentioned here09:04
micahgok, great09:07
micahgideally, we'd have someone from bug-control adopt a package and mentor bug squad members09:08
micahgbut this still needs to be discussed09:08
jukkismay i report a flaw in ubuntu?09:13
^arky^ok that sounds like a great idea.09:13
micahgjukkis: reports are always welcome :)09:13
micahgwhich package is it in?09:14
jukkislet me see.. what was that video editing software ...09:14
jukkisah yes avidemux09:14
jukkisi have noticed a flaw in it09:14
micahgok09:14
jukkiswhen i turn the volume down in avidemux it turns the volume down on the whole ubuntu system09:15
micahgthe best way to report it is by issuing the following command on a terminal: ubuntu-bug avidemux09:15
jukkisand then what?09:15
micahgthat will open your browser to launchpad and collect some information about the package on your system that will help us know about your version and system09:16
jukkisah.. so sudo ubuntu-bug avidemux09:16
micahgthen you describe the bug in as much detail as possible09:16
micahgno09:16
micahgno sudo09:16
jukkisok09:16
jukkislet me try it09:16

jukkisso whats that ubuntu brainstorming channel about?09:19

micahgit gives the community a chance to flush out an idea before the developers get involved09:20
jukkisyeah i hope the package manager gets improved09:20

eltoozerosame cpu, chipset, graphics, etc.09:37
eltoozerokey being graphics, a GMA 950.09:38
eltoozeroKarmic installed on both and only the 1000H has visual effects enabled by default09:38
eltoozeroon the 901 I can't enable through gui, but I can run compiz --replace with no problems.09:38
micahglet me stop you09:38
eltoozeroI'm done09:39
* micahg doesn't know about eee pcs09:39
micahgyou might want to try #ubuntu+109:39
eltoozeroless a hardware specific issue09:39
micahgthis is really a channel for bug triage/problems submitting bugs09:39
micahg#ubuntu+1 is for karmic cupport09:39
micahg*support09:39
eltoozerogenerally, since they're the same hardware, I'm trying to figure out where to report the bug about the detection09:39
eltoozeronot trying to get it working, I know it should be working and can work09:40
micahgah09:40
micahgok09:40
micahgsorry09:40
micahgso it's a compiz problem?09:40
eltoozerono worries, I appreciate the info, didn't realize there was a support channel09:40
micahgyep09:40
eltoozeroI *think* so?09:41
micahgok09:41
eltoozerobut compiz works09:41
eltoozero:/09:41
micahgIs compiz not detecting something?09:41
eltoozeroit seems to be in the gui of visual effects, or during the install?09:41
micahgor is the hardware not being detected?09:41
eltoozerocompiz --replace works.09:41
micahgbut the compiz gui does not?09:41
eltoozerohitting the option in visual effects *tries* but then just reports "can't be enabled"09:41
micahgah09:42
eltoozerorite09:42
micahgok09:42
micahgso, I'd say ubuntu-bug compiz09:42
micahgif it needs to be moved, it can be09:42
eltoozeroplace to start is all I need09:42

eltoozerokeep up the good work09:43
micahgno problem, that would be great09:43

eltoozero^arky^, I'll check that out, thanks.09:57
eltoozeroIf I find a bug report with tags that it requires certain logs, and someone has uploaded them, is it prudent for me to notice that and remove those tags?09:59
micahgwhich tags?09:59
eltoozeroneeds-lspci-vvnn, needs-xorglog10:00
eltoozero^arky^, that allowed me to enable Visual Effects without any trouble...10:06
^arky^cool10:07
