| dwegener | Hi, I'm very new. I'm trying to fix a bug, but need some help on what I need to do. | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| dwegener | I know what the problem is, and I know what file needs to be changed. The change actually needs to be made in an existing patch file. | 00:39 |
| micahg | is there already a bug filed? | 00:40 |
| dwegener | Yes, the bug has been filed. I've added comments to the bug indicating what needs to be changed, but thought it would be helpfull if I could actually supply the fix. | 00:41 |
| lifeless | dwegener: use 'apt-get source' to get the source | 00:42 |
| lifeless | dwegener: use dch -i to add a changelog entry | 00:42 |
| lifeless | and change the patch file | 00:42 |
| lifeless | use debuild -i to to a test build, and if that works | 00:42 |
| lifeless | debuild -i -S to build a source package | 00:43 |
| lifeless | then use debdiff | 00:43 |
| lifeless | to get a complete diff you can supply | 00:43 |
| lifeless | #ubuntu-motu can help you with this more | 00:43 |
| VXxed | Is there any rule of thumb for how long bugs take to get resolved? | 01:00 |
| lifeless | VXxed: no | 01:03 |
| lifeless | VXxed: on average they aren't resolved [simple math, we have more bugs filed than are fixed, for any time period] | 01:04 |
| VXxed | Gotcha | 01:04 |
| VXxed | Just wondering, thanks | 01:04 |
| lifeless | it depends on how much attention that part of the system is getting | 01:04 |
| lifeless | and how hard the bug is | 01:04 |
| VXxed | Uhh...let's just..theoretically say...something to do with the ACPI and it not turning the fans on on my laptop, despite a full day of research and lots of things tried? | 01:05 |
| lifeless | they are tricky | 01:06 |
| lifeless | without the exact hardware the bug can't really be worked on | 01:06 |
| lifeless | have you read the debugging guide about ACPI/dsdt's ? | 01:06 |
| VXxed | Not yet, but I was going to sit down and try it out tonight, despite already opening a full bug report at the recommendation of someone in this channel | 01:07 |
| VXxed | From what hggdh told me, there wasn't any acpi error during bootup in the log | 01:08 |
| VXxed | Would trying to debug it still have a chance of fixing the issue? | 01:09 |
| lifeless | yes, though its a steep learning curve | 01:12 |
| VXxed | There's a full guide for it, last I saw | 01:12 |
| VXxed | And honestly | 01:12 |
| VXxed | Free tablet? | 01:12 |
| VXxed | Totally worth the work. | 01:12 |
| VXxed | Hey, question while debugging my dsdt file. | 02:56 |
| VXxed | I'm getting "external (\DC1S)" - "Name already exists in scope (\DC1S)", error 5056 | 02:57 |
| VXxed | What does that mean? | 02:57 |
| VXxed | Er, nevermind. | 03:01 |
| VXxed | This next error is much more complex. "Method (SBLL, 1, NotSerialized)" - "Not all control paths return a value (SBLL)" | 03:01 |
| VXxed | Should I just delete the SBLL? | 03:02 |

| kruemel | hi everybody | 08:53 |
| kruemel | where do I report bugs on the _Windows_ usb-creator tool? | 08:54 |
| indus | kruemel: hi | 09:01 |
| indus | kruemel: you report it on launchpad | 09:02 |
| indus | kruemel: which windows usb creator tool? | 09:02 |
| kruemel | indus: the one that comes included in the 9.10 iso | 09:03 |
| indus | kruemel: it has a windows usb creator cool | 09:03 |
| indus | kruemel: hmm wait i check , i think you need to file a bug with ubiquity package | 09:04 |
| indus | kruemel: 1 sec | 09:04 |
| kruemel | indus: it's called usb-creator.exe , yes | 09:04 |
| kruemel | oops... please do mind | 09:07 |
| indus | kruemel: hi use this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect | 09:09 |
| indus | kruemel: i dont know which package this is so this will take you direct to bug file page | 09:10 |
| indus | kruemel: what is the problem you face with this usb creator? | 09:10 |
| kruemel | indus: The bug: The program has a button to select an iso as source. You can select an iso, but it won't show up as a source afterwards - so all in all you can't create a usb key directly from iso images. | 09:12 |
| indus | kruemel: no no you have to install it to windows first i think, then use image to copy | 09:12 |
| indus | kruemel: not sure really | 09:13 |
| kruemel | indus: you can select to create a usb key based on a Ubuntu CD in a CD drive | 09:13 |
| indus | kruemel: so there is a usb creator available on karmic cd hmm thats nice | 09:13 |
| kruemel | indus: that's the option that works | 09:13 |
| indus | kruemel: hmm it wont load the iso ? | 09:14 |
| kruemel | indus: it would be even nicer, if it worked :) | 09:14 |
| kruemel | indus: exactly | 09:14 |
| indus | kruemel: can i see a screenshot of the window? | 09:14 |
| indus | kruemel: use imagebin.org | 09:14 |
| kruemel | indus: just a moment | 09:15 |
| kruemel | indus: I'm working on it, but it's basically the same as if you take the usb-creator package in 9.04 | 09:17 |
| indus | kruemel: dont remember now, i would like to see | 09:18 |
| indus | kruemel: as far as i remember, either create usb from existing linux machine, or do it from an iso in windows | 09:21 |
| indus | kruemel: i believe this can also be run from live cd directly to create usb bootable | 09:24 |
| kruemel | argh | 09:30 |
| kruemel | I put an image on http://imagebin.org/69432 | 09:33 |

| Shikaku | Karmic has a semi-random critical bug, where sometimes (about 1/5th) X does not display at all as if the monitor was turned off, and the keyboard and power button do not work at all (I tried doing ctrl+alt+F1 and ctrl+alt+delete to do a restart but nothing happened) when booting up and resuming from hibernate. This occurs when the login screen is supposed to appear, so it seems it could be... | 18:38 |
| Shikaku | ...an X issue or a gdm issue. I was wondering if this was a known issue, because this never happened to me with Jaunty and I freshed installed Karmic.I was wondering if this was a known issue, because this never happened to me with Jaunty and I freshed installed Karmic. Can anyone help me find out what to do to see if I can find an error code about it? | 18:38 |

| ccheney | did launchpad recently change to where it doesn't send you your comments on bugs anymore? that is either happening to me or my email is getting eaten somehow | 18:50 |
| micahg | ccheney: spam filter? | 18:51 |
| ccheney | micahg: nope, but it might have somehow got stuck into a different folder i suppose | 18:52 |

| jmadgin | hi there! I've just come over from a convo with videolan channel, they told me you guys may be able to help! since i upgradfrom 9.04 to 9.10 my avi's dont seem to work in movie player or vlc. I checked the readout from vlc diagnostic and it said the encoder couldnt be found. I checked the encoder in synaptic and its there? | 19:13 |
| jmadgin | im tearing my hair out here trying to fix this | 19:14 |
| jmadgin | anyone know about it? | 19:14 |
| darthanubis | jmadgin, do you have the medibuntu repo setup? | 19:19 |
| darthanubis | how about !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:19 |
| darthanubis | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:19 |
| ubot4 | darthanubis: ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 31 (jaunty), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB | 19:20 |
| jmadgin | yes | 19:20 |
| jmadgin | i hav medibuntu and restricted extras | 19:20 |
| darthanubis | beats me then, I have no A/V issues. But then I did not upgrade | 19:20 |
| jmadgin | i also downloaded w32codecs | 19:20 |
| jmadgin | arrrrrgh | 19:21 |
| jmadgin | how annoying | 19:21 |
| darthanubis | good, i use w64codecs | 19:21 |
| jmadgin | but thats just for 64 bit isnt it? | 19:21 |
| ikt | yeah | 19:22 |
| ikt | I think he's saying that it's good you both are using the right codecs | 19:22 |
| darthanubis | right | 19:23 |
| ikt | purge + reinstall ? | 19:23 |
| jmadgin | tried | 19:24 |
| ikt | is it just specifically .avi videos? | 19:26 |
| jmadgin | havent tried anything else | 19:26 |
| jmadgin | but all types of avi | 19:26 |
| jmadgin | h264 | 19:26 |
| jmadgin | mp4 | 19:26 |
| jmadgin | im stumped | 19:27 |
| ikt | latest version of vlc? | 19:28 |
| ikt | just looking at vlc options | 19:28 |
| jmadgin | yes | 19:28 |
| micahg | jmadgin: have you checked in #ubuntu+1? | 19:29 |
| jmadgin | avi doesnt work in movie player either | 19:29 |
| jmadgin | or any app | 19:29 |
| jmadgin | yes i've asked | 19:29 |
| jmadgin | pretty much been ignored | 19:29 |
| ikt | all gstreamer plugins updated and installed? | 19:30 |
| jmadgin | yup | 19:30 |
| ikt | any further than this type of stuff and it gets pretty specific to finding out where vlc/totem think the encoder is | 19:30 |
| ikt | or it could be one checkbox in some random location | 19:30 |
| jmadgin | (totem:4447): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstx264 | 19:31 |

| micahg | What do you get with dpkg -l | grep gstreamer | 19:37 |
| jmadgin | http://pastie.org/673827 | 19:38 |
| jmadgin | that | 19:38 |
| jmadgin | same by the looks of it | 19:39 |
| jmadgin | ikt that link doesnt look cool at all its obviously an ongoing bug | 19:40 |
| ikt | yeah, it's odd though | 19:42 |
| jmadgin | i hope it gets sorted tomorrow at proper release | 19:43 |
| ikt | tbh I imagine if you did a fresh install it would work properly | 19:44 |
| jmadgin | cos thats an arse to anyone that wants to move over from window, if the movie player doent work!!!!! | 19:44 |
| jmadgin | u think | 19:44 |
| jmadgin | might try that | 19:44 |
| jmadgin | i hav filesystem on separate partition | 19:44 |
| ikt | that's all I can think of, I've been running 9.10 for a while now and vlc/totem have been working great | 19:44 |
| ikt | and I watch a lot of avis/mpegs | 19:44 |
| * ikt can't be at the computer without music playing :x | 19:45 | |
| jmadgin | if i delete that partition and reinstall ubuntu over it everything should work the same? | 19:46 |
| jmadgin | rite? | 19:46 |
| jmadgin | im gonna cross my fingers and go for it | 19:47 |
| ikt | I wonder why this channel is so quiet :x | 19:47 |
| ikt | seb! | 19:47 |
| ikt | jmadgin: if you delete the partition and resetup the partition and install ubuntu 9.10, everything should be pretty similar | 19:48 |
| ikt | except video should work | 19:48 |
| jmadgin | ne1 kno when 9.10 is actually released? | 20:03 |
| jmadgin | what time uk time tomorrow? | 20:03 |
| jmadgin | or is it 12 thisevening | 20:04 |

| micahg | if you can propose fixes, that's even better :) | 20:27 |
| caolin | unfortunately I don't yet know enough about how you currently operate to propose changes. The inconsistencies look to be the result of changing practices not being updated on all pages. | 20:29 |
