zookoDear people of #ubuntu-bugs: I am unable to report some packaging bugs in a timely manner because the new launchpad doesn't have a web UI for reporting bugs that I can find.  apport is currently non-functional on my system.04:59
zookoIt would be nice if there were access to the old launchpad bug-reporting interface for when the new recommended apport-based way won't work.05:00
jmarsdenzooko: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/PACKAGENAME/+filebug?no-redirect05:46
zookojmarsden: lifeless already directed me to that URL, but I wasn't able to get it to work before my bug-reporting process timed out and higer priority processes took over.05:47

ubot4Launchpad bug 416949 in console-setup "Keyboard layout toggle does not work anymore in karmic" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41694912:22
abbHi, I'm trying to convert a Bug report (Bug #433515) into a question, but each time I attempt this, I get a "Timeout Error, Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad" error (OOPS-1367EC560).  Is there a known problem with LP today?  If not, could someone kindly take a look at the aforementioned bug and assist?13:19

abb(Btw, I'm obviously a bit new with this -- my first Bug-to-Question conversion, so it's likely the problem exists on my end. :)13:20
AnAntabb: I dunno, but try asking on #launchpad13:21
=== doko__ is now known as doko
abbOkay, thanks.  I just didn't know if there were any obvious prerequisites I was missing -- I read the note on "ConvertingBugstoQuestions" and saw it required the bug to be set Incomplete/New (not "in progress" etc) but wasn't sure if I missed something else...13:22
abbfyi, problem resolved itself -- apparently the old "keep submitting over and over" approach eventually worked, lol.13:27

ubot4Launchpad bug 438023 in gdm "gdm does not remember keyboard layout setting" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43802315:06
seb128I don't know15:07
seb128I would have marked it otherwise15:07
seb128I don't want to spent my day looking for all the duplicate numbers15:07
seb128otherwise I would spend my day looking for number and not doing at work15:07
seb128any work rather15:07
bdrungseb128: did you think, that this bug was already reported?15:09
seb128yes, I would have written it on the bug otherwise15:09
seb128I do read hundred of bug email every day though so I'm not sure about the bug number15:10
bdrungseb128: i did not find a duplicate for it.15:11
seb128that doesn't mean there isn't one15:12
seb128what is your point there?15:12
bdrungseb128: i reopened it, because i did not find a duplicate.15:13
seb128shrug15:14
seb128I don't care enough to argue, it's a duplicate and it makes work harder for us to have duplicate in bug lists15:14
seb128but I'm not going to fight over the status etc so let it open if you think that's better for you15:15
bdrungseb128: i will close it, if the corresponding bug is found15:15
seb128bug #395103 is similar for example15:16

takedaHey, guys so I use 9.04, mnow once in a while when I suspend Ubuntu and come back I'm welcomed with login screen (X restarts) this is extremely annoying, since if I would want that I would just shutdown the system.18:26
takedais this a known bug?18:26
takedaI remember experiencing it in 8.x as well, 9.04 (I installed from scratch) worked well for sometime then it starts degrading18:27
bdmurraythat bug is likely hardware dependent18:28
takedabdmurray: so I should report it then?18:29
bdmurraytakeda: ideally you would test with a 9.10 live cd and report it from that environment18:31
takedabdmurray: the problem is that this doesn't happen every time, when I used 8.04 it worked fine for some time, recently I think this happened to me maybe 3 times already18:32
takedait's not something that I can just put CD and tell you whether it happens or not18:32
takedaI need to use it for extended time18:33
takedaI don't get why something like that would even happen18:33
Elbrustakeda: be careful after an update of the kernel. suspend won't work (maybe that is a bug thou?)18:35
Elbrusat least in my experience18:35
takedahttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/379417 - I guess this is similar problem, though he uses Lenovo, but my Panasonic R-7 should have similar HW18:35
ubot4Launchpad bug 379417 in linux "X restart after suspend and/or hibernate (dup-of: 384937)" [Undecided,New]18:35
ubot4Launchpad bug 384937 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[i945gm] Unexpected X-server restarts on system with Intel 945GM" [Low,Invalid]18:35
takedaElbrus: actually you know? I remember upgrading kernel18:35
takedamaybe that broke it18:36
takedaI think I have 94518:37
bdmurrayDo you still have the old kernel that you could test with?18:37
Elbrusbdmurray: my experience is that after an kernel upgrade (with different version numbers at least) your standard choice in grub will be that latest kernel and returning from suspend/hibernation won't work. Not extensively tested thou18:40
yofelIf I want to edit a Stock-response do I need to ask somebody for permission? The 'Debugging Kernel General' response doesn't match with the information requested on 'KernelTeamBugPolicies'. Here's what I had in mind: http://yofel.pastebin.com/f196f0369  Any comments?18:44
bdmurrayyofel: does -p linux not work with jaunty?  I don't recall18:46
yofelbdmurray: I got that information from the KernelTeam wiki page, I don't know either :/18:47
yofelshould I ask them in #ubuntu-kernel?18:49
bdmurrayogasawara: Do you recall? ^^18:49
takedabdmurray: sorry I got couple emails and was responding to them.... assuming installation didn't overwrite them I should have at least 2 previous kernels18:55
bdmurraytesting with a previous way would be a good way to narrow down the problem18:56
takedaI'll try to select the old one each time I boot18:56
takedathough this is really hard to tell whether it works or not18:56
takedaAnother thing I noticed (not sure if you'll consider it a bug), in windows there's UAC you get dark screen where you decide to run app with admin privileges or not.18:58
takedaUbuntu seems to have similar approach, except it doesn't seem to work too well18:58
takedai.e. when I use Synergy on windows, I can't control mouse or kb anymore in that mode18:58
takedabut on Ubuntu it works just fine18:58
takedaso it doesn't look like it's actually protecting the user18:59
takedathe only time when it fails to work is when it's about to switch the mode and I move mouse outside of the desktop18:59
yofelbdmurray: checking my jaunty vm there doesn't seem to be any issue with -p linux, so I'll remove the other one19:28
bdmurrayyofel: cool, and actually if the bug is reported about the linux package the -p linux is redundant19:28
yofelI know, but I wasn't sure about it. I'll remove it too then.19:30

yofelanyone else want's to comment?19:37
skorasaurusHi. What should I do (Besides making a comment where I gave an upstream link where the author stated they aren't implementing this eature request) to ensure a bug is marked as 'won't fix' ?19:57
skorasaurus(since I do not have bug-control privileges)19:58
greg-gskorasaurus: was the upstream author's comment in a bug report in the upstream bug tracker? if so, add a bug watch to that. And, you can simply just close the bug as "invalid" with the comment of why ("upstream said..... so this bug is being closed")20:09
skorasaurusgreg-g, yes.20:10
skorasaurusgreg-g, thanks for the help. :)20:15
greg-gskorasaurus: no problem, thanks for helping :)20:18
ogasawarayofel, bdmurray:  sorry for the delay, I recall you have to use the specific package name when using ubuntu-bug in jaunty21:11
ogasawarayofel, bdmurray:  for example:  ubuntu-bug -p linux-image-`uname -r`21:12
yofelogasawara: I just tried both in my jaunty vm and got two identical apport windows with information about 'linux'21:13

bwallumhi, I'm just trying to find my way around, trying to help with bugs.21:53
bwallumfirst time here21:53
yofelbwallum: welcome :)21:53
bwallumwhat is this channel mostly used for? e.g. discussing bugs prior to filing21:54
yofelbwallum: this channel is for bugsquad discussion and helping with bugs filed in LP or filing them21:58
yofelbwallum: if you don't know yet if your issue really is a bug asking in #ubuntu or #ubuntu+1 would be better21:59
bwallumOK, I'll try the other channels. I have filed a few bugs in LP over time and I was wondering how I could become more effective. I like to get involved around late alpha versions.22:01
bdmurraybwallum: well, that's on topic here22:02
bwallumIt's a good learning curve for me and I like to think I'm helping a bit (others tell the truth no doubt)22:03
bwallumI've tried to get involved with pulseaudio in Karmic. It would be good to chat over things before filing though.22:04
yofelbwallum: regarding bugs you could read yourself through our Knowledge Base https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/KnowledgeBase and for karmic related chatting you'll always be welcome in #ubuntu+1 ;)22:07
bwallumOK, I'll try #ubuntu+122:08
yofelok, next try: http://yofel.pastebin.com/f4b39a825 - I put the jaunty -p linux-image-... back again and added a note for the karmic-only /proc/version_signature. More comments?22:09
yofelbdmurray: do you know if I need to get somebodys permission to edit the wiki page?22:09
bdmurrayyofel: do you don't.  Why did you special case proc/version_signature?22:12
yofelbdmurray: there is no /proc/version_signature in jaunty (at least not in my VM)22:13
bdmurraythere is on both of my jaunty systems22:13
yofelthen again, let me check something22:13
yofelurgh, guess I meddled too much with my jaunty VM - running the wrong kernel...22:15
yofelok, remove that again...22:15
yofelgood, I think it's ok now http://yofel.pastebin.com/f4a5b276022:21
bdmurrayyofel: looks great, thanks!22:23
yofelok, then let's see if I get that into the wiki page...22:25

hggdhyofel, may I suggest?22:32
yofelhggdh: yes?22:33
hggdhwhere you state the user may need to install python-lplib... whouldn't it be a good idea to provide the command line for that?22:34

shakaran1it have ping, but dont any data with response for keys23:02
shakaran1If you put keyserver.ubuntu.com on firefox, you get a 110 error message23:02
shakaran1Maybe is need a more powerful server o duplication. This servers is accesed for many people. Maybe on a moments is ok, but the most of time is down23:04
bcurtiswxshakaran1: as yofel said, pings may always work, but the functionality of the commands to the server are a different story23:05
shakaran1well, it is fixable?23:05
yofelfinished the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Debugging%20Kernel%20General23:06
shakaran1yofel: Can I translate that page to Spanish?23:07
yofelshakaran1: why would you? The page contains responses for launchpad bugs which should always be reported in english23:12
bcurtiswxshakaran1: i really can't say I  would know where to go with the key-server bug...23:13
bcurtiswxi wonder if thats more of a launchpad thing?23:13
yofelit would help to know who the admin of keyserver.ubuntu.com is...23:13
shakaran1yofel: well, you can response on english, but reporters maybe dont understand your reply, then you send to the locale version for understand23:15

shakaran1From personal Matthew Nuzum's launchpad site (https://launchpad.net/~newz): I am a webapplication programmer and the ubuntu.com webmaster.23:19
bcurtiswxi don't think the keyserver is his issue23:19

jpdsThe keyserver is known to have problems.23:19
bcurtiswxjpds: yeah, shakaran1 reported a bug about it, but im pretty clueless as to what package/group to have it a part of or who to even ask23:20
shakaran1Who if not instruct the keyserver? Keyserver mirrors could be made?23:20
jpdsshakaran1: there already are mirrors, use subkeys.pgp.net for example.23:21
shakaran1Umm, I'm afraid my bug will be forgotten because of the expiration23:22
