porthosedholbach, would you set bug #435015 to won't fix? It sounds like he is describing the expected behavior of python2.606:47
ubot4Launchpad bug 435015 in python2.6 "python2.6 fails to create or use site-packages" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43501506:47
dholbachcan you add a comment that explains what happens? I think I'd be happier if somebody who has more of a clue (than I do) of python and what's happening set it to won't fix06:50
porthoseI was going to add this to the comment http://list.debian.org/debian-python/2009/09/msg00122.html which discusses the current situation of python2.6 in debian06:52
dholbachporthose: can you start the discussion in #ubuntu-devel?06:54
dholbachI'm no python expert and really don't want to make decisions in a discussion where I have little clue06:54
porthosesure :)06:54
porthoseI understand :)06:54
jmarsdenporthose: The hostname in that URL should be lists not list, I think?06:56

thekorndavmor2, haha, no, I'm not a teacher, and I will never be ;)09:17
* davmor2 ponders on thekorn s comment and says Reheheally (in an ace ventura stylie) Do you not teach any one to triage bugs then?09:19
thekornwhy do I always think about noisy and screaming kids when someone talks about teacher? - this imagination made me to write this comment above09:23
davmor2That's because I'm amasingly pedantic ;)09:25
davmor2oh and sarcastic to boot :D09:25

mptHi, how do I apply for permission to set Importance for bug reports in a particular Ubuntu package?11:03
lifelessI may be out of date, but AFAIK bug-squad11:04
lifelessmpt: ^ if there are some specific bugs you need toggled let me know11:05
mptIs that a mailing list, or a team, or what?11:05
mptah, https://launchpad.net/~bugsquad11:06
lifelesshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad11:06
mptthanks lifeless11:08
lifelesslast I heard there wasn't per-package facility to do this11:09
lifelessI'm not sure what it would take to permit it; I kindof assume package upload rights will grant it11:09

james_wmpt: I'd be happy to fulfil requirement 4 for you by vouching for you11:13
lifelessjames_w: speaking of vouching11:14

james_whas Colin not been in touch with you?11:14
lifelessthe questionnaire yes; followup no11:14
james_wah, ok11:14
james_wI thought for a moment you were saying "make it happen!"11:15
james_wI've no idea what the process will be yet, but I'm happy to advocate11:15
lifelessI'm assuming a 'mass' application for core-dev, in terms of process11:15

bdmurrayjames_w: yes, probably!16:40
mac_vbdmurray: hi... is it a known issue that the Karma is not displayed after the latest lp-improvements update?17:04
bdmurraymac_v: no it is not known, 0.8.0 works for me.17:05
mac_vhm...17:06
mac_vbdmurray: i tired reinstalling , shutting down firefox fully and reopening... but still the Karma is 0 , does the Karma get cached somewhere?17:12
bdmurrayIf karma is 0 it is likely working.  If it is blank then there is an issue.17:13
mac_vbdmurray: no... i mean 0 for all! pedro and seb128 have 0 too ;)17:14
bdmurraywhat bug are you looking at?17:14

bdmurraymac_v: okay, it was fixed because it was broken on edge! ;-)17:21

MyXelfhello21:21
MyXelfi'm trying to find some help related to bugs reporting in launchpad21:22
MyXelfcan somebody help me21:22
MyXelfi want to make things the right way (despite yesterday i made a mistake marking a bug as a duplicate)21:23
micahgMyXelf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs21:26
MyXelfi've read that link about three times21:28
MyXelfmy doubts aren't there21:28
MyXelfwhat i don't want to do is to mess with real information21:30
micahgMyXelf: what would you like to be able to do?21:31
micahgor rather what are you trying to do?21:31
MyXelfthanks for paying me attention21:31
MyXelffor example, yesterday i found a bug that was a duplicate21:31
MyXelfi created my account, and then marked the bug as a duplicate21:31
MyXelfsupposing the system would add the formal description of "Thanks for ..." and also making the "bug NUMBER" automatically into a link to the corresponding duplicate21:32
MyXelfafter realizing that wasn't going to happen, i added the formal description by myself copying and pasting the text from some "Ubuntu Bug Squad" url21:33
micahgyes, it doesn't add the text, but it does notlicatee it on the dup21:34
micahg*note it on the duplicate21:34
MyXelfbut for my surprise the bug NUMBER part didn't convert into an hyperlink21:34
MyXelfyeap, i saw that happen21:34
MyXelfalso all the people subscribed to the dup, automatically pass to the "master" bug21:35
MyXelfbut i don't think i have to type the <a> tag inside the description by hand21:35
micahgyes21:36
micahgthey are made hyperlinks if it says bug xxxxxx21:36
MyXelfi guess i shouldn't include the '#'21:37
micahgyeah21:38
micahgyou just need the actual number21:38
MyXelfok, that was the first21:38
MyXelfcan i go on, or do you think there is something else i should know21:38
MyXelfbased on your experience21:39
MyXelf?21:41
micahgMyXelf: have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage21:41
MyXelfyeap21:41
MyXelffrom there i got the formal reply21:42
BUGabundoguud evening21:42
MyXelflet me try to explain the bug i'm trying to report21:43
MyXelfi'm running karmic21:43
MyXelfand i do connect using dial-up21:43
MyXelfi'm pretty sure the bug is in the kernel21:43
MyXelfbut i don't know the best way, the most comfortable, to make it21:43
MyXelfit could be directly at launchpad, could be using ubuntu-bug or apport21:44
MyXelfbut i cant use any of them, because i can't be online during the crash, due to the bug itself21:45
MyXelfare u following me?21:45
MyXelf(could there be anybody lol-ing because a newbie like me is writing all this stuff in the main thread of the channel instead of using a "private"?)21:48
micahgMyXelf: no one will lol you for trying to acquire knowledge in this channel21:49
* BUGabundo lols21:50
* BUGabundo now goes reading backlog21:50
micahgbrb21:50
bdmurrayapport-cli can be used and your bug report stored for later filing when you are on-line21:50
nperryCan somone have a look into bug 429065 and maybe set an importance please?21:50
BUGabundobdmurray: but how will MyXelf upload it ?21:51
BUGabundowhen he tries to be online he crashs21:51
BUGabundounless he uses an alternate connection or PC21:51
nperryI've confirmed the bug, and also have attached the log.21:51
micahgthanks bdmurray, was about to pull that out21:52
micahgbdmurray: where's the bot21:53
MyXelfi can upload it later21:53
MyXelfbecause right now i'm at work, the bug occurs at home21:54
MyXelfat work i use a lan21:54
MyXelfinstead of asking here the details about apport-cli, is there any "good" url to start reading?21:55
BUGabundook MyXelf21:55
BUGabundothen use apport to collect the logs offline21:55
MyXelfokie dokie, i'll give it a try21:58
MyXelfthanks you all for your time21:58
MyXelfi'm sure i'll be back with more doubts :-)21:59
