jolish_ô_O03:36
jolish_anybody?03:38
micahgjolish_: how can we help you?03:38
jolish_oh hi!! I just joined the BugSquad team on launchpad03:39
micahggreat03:39
jolish_I'd like to help... what should I do next?03:39
micahghave you read the documentation on how to triagE?03:40
jolish_I'm about to03:40
micahgok, why don't you read through that first03:41
jolish_ok :)03:42
micahgthen we can talk about how you'd like to help :)03:43
jolish_great03:43
greg-gjolish_: welcome to the team, feel free to get started with whatever task fancies you, and ask questions here03:51
jolish_thank you!03:52
on3_g<0/04:19
jolish_hi!05:06
jolish_micahg: sorry for taking so long05:09
micahgno probelm05:10
jolish_so, I'd like to fix bugs... but I'm not familiar with any package nor I know which one to choose05:13
jolish_maybe I should start Triaging and move later to code.05:15
micahgwell, triaging is gathering all the information for a problem so the developer can fix05:19
micahgwe don't "fix" bugs here05:19
micahgwe triage05:19
micahgthe developers fix the bugs05:19
micahgI mean specifically in this channel and this team05:20
micahgso, jolish_, what apps do you use?05:20
micahgit helps to have a baseline understanding of the app you are triaging05:21
micahgso you know what's expected and what's not05:21
micahgjolish_: I hope I didn't scare you05:22
jolish_lols nope, im thinking how to answer05:22
micahgok05:23
jolish_I dont install a lot of software05:23
micahgthat's ok05:24
jolish_Firefox 3.505:24
micahgok05:24
jolish_emesene as MSN client05:24
jolish_Compiz config manager05:24
jolish_umm google desktop05:25
jolish_open office05:25
micahgok, so choose one of those and go to the bugs section in launchpad for that package05:25
jolish_ok, lets say emesene05:26
micahgok05:26
micahgdoyou know where to find the bugs?05:26
jolish_as said in the how to triage document05:27
jolish_umm now I cant find it05:29
micahghttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emesene05:32
jolish_ok, thanks05:33
micahgso, you want to choose a new bug to start05:36
jolish_yup05:36
jolish_a "new" bug?05:37
micahgyes, one with a status of new05:38
jolish_ok05:38
jolish_ok, its a bug about colors in nicknames05:40
micahgok which bug?05:40
jolish_and I see its a suggestion05:40
jolish_https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emesene/+bug/29179605:40
ubot4Launchpad bug 291796 in emesene "Hard to read nick colour using dark themes" [Undecided,New]05:40
jolish_that one05:40
micahgok, which version of Ubuntu are you on?05:41
micahgindeed05:42
micahgso, suggestions are generally marked wishlist05:42
micahgbut you need to make sure they are valid still05:42
jolish_im using Jaunty05:43
micahgso you have pretty much the same version as the reporter05:43
micahgthe problem is that 1.5 is in karmic05:44
micahgdo you have virtualbox or another virtualization environment installed?05:44
jolish_Well the reporter uses ubuntu 8.1005:44
jolish_with emesene 1.0.1-105:45
micahgyes, but we don't release new features into old releases05:45
jolish_XD05:45
micahgthis might be classified as a bug, idk05:45
jolish_i have VMware installed05:45
micahgok, do you have a karmic desktop cd you can load up in VMWare?05:46
jolish_not yet05:46
micahgiso?05:46
jolish_nope...05:47
micahgwell, you can either try to duplicate yourself on a live cd, or ask the reporter to test on a live cd05:47
micahgor rather duplicate the issue, not yourself :)05:48
jolish_umm why do you think its a bug?05:48
micahgwell, if the text isn't visible with a certain theme that might constitute a bug05:49
micahgidk05:49
micahgthat's what I meant when I said it helps to have a baseline understanding of how the app should work (I don't in this case)05:49
micahgbcurtiswx: do you use emesene?05:50
jolish_yes i do05:50
jolish_lols05:50
jolish_sry05:50
micahgjolish_: in either case, it needs to be verified if the issue still exists in Karmic05:51
jolish_ok05:51
micahgjolish_: if you'd like to d/l an iso to test with you can do it here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/rc/05:53
micahgoops05:53
micahgsorry05:53
micahghttp://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/05:53
jolish_I use a dark theme in my ubuntu and the text is perfectly visible05:53
micahgoh, well that's a different story05:54
micahg1maybe the theme was fixed?05:55
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
micahgjolish_: well have you seen the responses page?05:55
jolish_nope :S05:55
micahg!responses05:55
ubot4response is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses05:55
micahgugh, none of these are right05:57
micahgoops05:57
micahgI was wrong05:57
micahghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Old%20untouched%20bugs05:57
jolish_oooh so how do I answer this to the reporter?05:59
micahgso, that response about old, untouched bugs is appropriate06:02
micahgthe reporter could now be on jaunty or karmic, we don't know06:02
micahgreporter could have solved the issue and never told ys06:02
micahg*us06:02
micahgso, you copy the text from the gray box there06:03
micahgclick the little arrow next to the task on top06:03
micahgof the bug, paste the text and change the status to Incomplete06:03
micahgYou can also say you're not affected by it on jaunty06:04
micahgnote: the text is a guide06:04
micahgyou can change a few words if it makes sense06:04
jolish_ok :)06:06
jolish_I cant find the little arrow next to the task on top *blush*06:08
micahgnext to the package name under affects06:09
jolish_oooh!06:10
jolish_that should be more visible lol06:11
jolish_so I should have a fresh Karmic version installed on a virtual machine to try further bugs06:15
micahgit's a good idea at least to be able to load in a VM06:15
micahga Live CD06:16
micahgif you can't ascertain the problem with your current setup06:16
micahgthat would be only if somethings broke for you as well as the reporter06:16
micahgjolish_: nice job on the bug06:16
jolish_thanx =)06:17
micahgwanna try another06:18
jolish_yup. something harder06:18

micahgif you want, I usually do since most of the triagers speak english06:31
jolish_ok, I notice it was changed to incomplete and then to new again06:33
micahgyes, but look at the dates06:33
jolish_oh same date06:34
micahgno, I mean how old is it06:34
jolish_yes, also that06:34
micahgalso, emesene isn't supporting 1.006:35

jolish_Im not good at languages06:42
jolish_so why does those bugs are that old?06:45
micahgwe have over 71k bugs06:45
jolish_and how do I look for New "New" bugs?06:45
micahgand not enough people to triage then all06:45
micahgsort by newest first06:46
jolish_ok, but then old bugs are doomed to be "new" forever XD06:47
ikthttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1298593 <- omg lookit, papercut!06:50
micahgjolish_: yes, but triaging newer bugs is preferable since the issues are current06:51
micahgikt: probably not a papercut06:51
ikty?06:51
micahgidk06:51
iktshould I report as samba issue?06:51

micahghmm, maybe file against nautilus06:55
micahgthey'll move it to dbus if appropriate06:55
wgrantVery unlikely to be dbus.06:55
micahgthey might not be handling the error properly at a higher level, idk06:55
wgrantProbably nautilus, but otherwise devicekit-disks.06:55
wgrantOh, network share? Maybe not.06:55
micahgnautilus is a good starting point06:56
iktjust made a quick movie06:56

thekorngood morning07:46
thekornwgrant, I was wondering why there are no python bindings for XPCOM in karmic anymore, and found bug 358887, can you please tell me what you mean by 'this' in your first comment (python-xpcom or the python2.6 dependency)09:01
ubot4Launchpad bug 358887 in xulrunner "python-xpcom cannot be loaded on Jaunty" [Undecided,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35888709:01
wgrantthekorn: python-xpcom09:03
wgrantI think.09:04
wgrantI can't think I would have meant anything else.09:04
thekornwgrant, do you know of a reason for this, is this explained somewhere09:04
wgrantBut it was a long time ago.09:04
wgrantthekorn: IIRC I discussed it with some mozillateam people. Let me find logs.09:04
thekornwgrant, super, thanks09:04
micahgI think it became its own project09:05
wgrantthekorn: Oh, right, it was part of xulrunner.09:05
wgrantxulrunner was 1.8.09:05
wgrantSo it was always intended to be removed.09:05
wgrant(superseded by xulrunner-1.9, ie. firefox 3)09:05
thekornwgrant, ah ok, thanks09:07
thekornhmm, something is looking wrong there09:10
wgrantHm?09:10
thekornthere is a python-xpcom package in karmic which depends on python2.509:10
wgrantRight.09:11
thekornit comes from this old xulrunner09:11
wgrantxulrunner never got removed.09:11
wgrant(I hadn't checked until just now)09:11
thekornI guess there is a good reason for this ;)09:11
wgrantI doubt it.09:11
thekornthis multi version in the mozilla world is strage09:12
wgrantDuh. It is Mozilla.09:12
micahgugh, we'll have to upgrade it for lucid09:12
wgrantmicahg: Upgrade it to what?09:12
micahgI believe pyxpcom was broken out into its own project09:13
thekornyeah, I want python-xpcom back in lucid, no matter how ;)09:13
micahgor it was replaced with something better09:13
micahgI don't remember exactly09:13
wgrantSomething better... like WebKit?09:13
micahgno :P09:14
micahghttp://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2009-08-07/pyxpcom-welcome-todd-whitema/09:15
thekornwgrant, in my understanding webkit does not replace python-xpcom, python-xpcom allows me to write a component for a Firefox extension in python09:15
wgrantthekorn: Ah. Even less useful.09:16
micahgwell, I think xpcom is being replaced with Jetpack09:18
micahgmaybe not replaced09:18
micahgbut there's a new extension building suite coming for firefox 409:18
thekornmicahg, ok, but this is far future09:19
micahgyes09:20
micahgso, we can try to package it for lucid09:20
boThe Ubuntu 9.10 RC livecd fails to boot for me, and I have filed a bug, but it appears that it is not associated with the karmic release in any way, and I can not find any to add it either. What to do?09:28

dooglushi guys17:57
dooglusI found a bug which is already in the launchpad tracker, but marked as 'fix committed' from 2 years ago.  should I raise a duplicate?  or change the status of the old bug?  or what?17:57

greg-gthe bug number, rather17:59
dooglusgreg-g: 12614817:59

hggdhinteresting bug, this one18:01
dooglusI noticed that the bug was talking about 'synaptic' and I saw it in 'software sources' - so maybe it's not a dup, I don't know18:03
dooglusI added a comment to that effect18:03
dooglusbut didn't the 'pick best server' stuff just migrate from synaptic to 'software sources'?18:03
hggdhwell, both of them can update the sources18:04
dooglusoh, I see18:04
dooglusso perhaps I can just use synaptic and that might work...18:04
dooglusI'll try that18:04
hggdhand -- I guess -- they both use the same back-end for that18:05
dooglusright, that's what I'm wondering18:05
doogluscan't check at the moment - apt-get is installing a bunch of updates18:06
dooglusbut will when it's finished18:06
hggdhk18:06
hggdhbut this one probably fell through a crack...18:07
dooglussynaptic actually runs 'software sources' to update the apt repository list18:14

bdmurrayI saw synaptic has a filter for missing recommends is there a good way to get a dump of that?21:12
mvobdmurray: apt-get install --fix-policy should give you a list as well21:14
sbeattiemvo: why do file conflicts only seem to go one way sometimes? e.g. if you install svk on karmic, it fails to install due to a conflict with a file from bash-completion. But if you then purge bash-completion and reinstall it, everything succeeds.21:33
sbeattiemvo: foh, nevermind21:34
sbeattiedoh, even21:35
sbeattieit fails both ways, I just need afternoon coffee.21:36
