nperryDo we make non english bugs incomplete :s17:50
hggdh|afknperry: write a comment stating that the bug should ideally be written in English and, since you do not speak/read this language, the bug will be left for a triager that does. Leave it as new18:06
=== hggdh|afk is now known as hggdh
seb128nperry, hggdh: no, close those bugs or change those to questions18:09
seb128we have thousand of bugs we don't triage every month there is no point to keep also those where we need a translator to ask details18:10
nperryAh ok thanks for that, Just started helping out with all the bugs today - Read through all the wiki but nothing came up about different languages18:16
hernanHello. I am trying to install Karmic Alpha 6 in a Toshiba Tecra A7. It has an intel 945 chipset. The font size is huge and is impossible to use it.18:30
hggdhhernan: the best place for you to discuss this would be on #ubuntu+1. This channel (#ubuntu-bugs) is for discussion on triaging bugs, not for reporting them ;-)18:32
hernansorry and thanks.18:32
nperryQuick question, doesn somoneelse have to confirm a bug before we can set status as triagied?19:45
micahgnperry: depends19:47
nperryHow can I set a bug to be triaged when i think there is enough information?19:51
micahgnperry: only members of bug-control can set a bug to triaged19:52
micahgif you think there's enough information, you can provide the bug number here19:52
micahgand ask someone to verify and set the status19:52
micahgalso think about the importance of the bug (which also can only be set by a -control member)19:53
nperryAh right, OK. Pretty much read all the wiki's and lending a hand during spare time.19:54
micahgnperry: any help is appreciated19:54
micahgnperry: and if you want, after you've triaged for a little while and feel comfortable with the process, you can apply for bug-control membership19:55
nperryMight take me a while to learn the full process, but as you said help is appreciated19:58
hggdhbdmurray: what to do with bug 383502?19:58
ubot4Launchpad bug 383502 in coreutils "coreutils' timeout(1) is missing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38350219:58
bdmurrayhggdh: I'm not sure did you have anything in mind?20:07
hggdhbdmurray: that's the point... Who would take care of that? Two packages are affected (tct and coreutils); if we accept it, both will have packaging changed20:11
hggdhtct is in universe, while coreutils is in main20:12
bdmurrayI'd e-mail ubuntu-devel about it20:14
hggdhok20:16
nperryBug 434786 - Should this have package upstart or initscripts?20:17
ubot4Launchpad bug 434786 in ubuntu "tty1 is displayed on boot/shutdown" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43478620:17
micahghggdh: any ideas ^^^20:22
hggdhhold on20:22
hggdhwell, IIRC, TTY output is not given if usplash is active (and boot options include 'quiet' and 'splash'20:24
hggdhand, again, IIRC usplah is a pre-req for xsplah20:24
hggdhxsplash20:25
micahghggdh: I thought usplash was removed for alpha620:25
hggdhheh. was it?20:25
* hggdh checks20:25
hggdhit is still in the repository, though20:27
kklimondawasn't it supposed to be present in case user interaction is required during boot?20:27
kklimondagood evening :)20:28
hggdhgood evening, kklimonda, long time ;-)20:28
hggdhI remember something like that -- this was discussed a few days/weeks ago20:28
kklimondaheh, we don't see each other these days. I haven't talked with bugabundo too for a while... weird :)20:29
hggdhbugabundo got back to work...20:29
hggdhbut -- back to bug 434786 -- I do not use usplash, so I am not sure. If this is indeed a bug, I would tend to usplash20:30
ubot4Launchpad bug 434786 in ubuntu "tty1 is displayed on boot/shutdown" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43478620:30
hggdhnperry: yours is a really good question ;-)20:32
nperryFor a newb at this, im happy i've asked a good question :)20:33
hggdhLOL20:33
hggdhkklimonda, micahg, have you installed alpha6?20:33
micahghggdh: no, I'll upgrade when it goes to beta20:34
micahgI tried a live cd though20:34
hggdhwhat I wanted to know is if usplash is still there. I remember someone saying xsplash depended on usplash, but I do not see it as a pre-req20:36
hggdhah well. I will take the plunge, and install xsplash20:36
kklimondahggdh, i have it installed but I don't have computer till Friday and I can't check dependencies. :)20:40
hggdhk. I just installed xsplash, and will reboot. Be back in a few. Or not...20:42

nperrymicahg: Just need your opinion on this if you don't mind, bug 43478820:50
ubot4Launchpad bug 434788 in ubuntu "dust theme has some visual error with Firefox" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43478820:50
micahgnperry: I don't see the error20:51
hggdhOK. The reporter be talking about xsplash20:51
micahgso nperry, we need a description of what the visual error is20:52
nperryAh yes, true. If its then vaild what package should it belong to?20:53
hggdhnperry, I would venture xsplash, but you can ask the reporter if it is installed21:03
nperryI'm able to confirm it on my netbook21:04
nperryWhich has xsplash21:04
hggdhso -- if the reporter is also using xsplash -- you can confirm. But we still have to find out for sure21:05
* hggdh can also confirm TTY output on xsplash21:05
micahgnperry: my guess would be the theme21:06
tormodare the apport hooks per source or per binary package?21:13
hggdhnperry -- when confirming a bug, please add a comment to what led you to do it. Also, please be nice -- start with something like "thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better", or the like21:15
hggdhtormod: I am not sure I follow you21:16
nperryAh ok hggdh, thanks for the heads up.21:16
hggdhnperry: no prob, and thanks for helping21:16
tormodhggdh, does every binary package need its hook, or is there one for the source pkg coveringa all its binary packages?21:17
hggdhtormod: it is your choice. If the binary packages are rather different, then you could do it this way. Usually it is per source, though21:18
tormodlooking at /usr/share/apport/package-hooks many has the name "source_*" so I guess I understand it21:18
hggdhyes21:18
tormodhggdh, care to look at bug 434061 and why the hook did not trigger?21:18
ubot4Launchpad bug 434061 in mesa "[i915] glcells assert failure: *** glibc detected *** glcells: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0843c3d8 ***" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43406121:18
tormodthe xscreensaver hook should attach Xorg.0.log but didn't21:19
tormodare hooks run for apport-crash?21:19
hggdhtormod: it does not seem like the hook fired, this looks very much like an apport-standard collection21:21
hggdhtormod: you can ask the reporter to attach the /var/log/apport.log to find out what apport did on the crash21:24

bdmurrayseb128: Do you still work with easytag at all?21:31
seb128bdmurray, I don't use it but I can do changes or upload if required21:32
seb128why?21:33
bdmurrayseb128: I ran into bug 384929 but the patch attached didn't resolve the bug21:33
