bibinouthanks !03:40
greg-gno problem :)03:40
JanCactually, I doubt those bugs are bite-size  ;)03:43
JanCat least some of them03:44
greg-gJanC: true, all depends on who tagged them bitesize :)03:49
JanCsome of them will require a flamewar to implement, so hardly "bite-size"  ;)03:50

lstephello, I've got a bug in a package from a "MOTU", so I can't report it using ubuntu-bugs. And I don't see any related info on the HelpingWithBugs page. How should I report it?08:36
lstepCould anyone tell me where should I report this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x264/+bug/475933 ). Should I write a mail on the MOTU mailing list (ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com)?08:39
ubot4Launchpad bug 475933 in x264 "The library included in the libx264-67 package is libx264.so.68 but should be libx264.so.67" [Undecided,Invalid]08:39
thekornlstep, I think you have installed this package from a PPA, correct?08:45
thekornlstep, looks like this one https://edge.launchpad.net/~kow/+archive/ppa08:45
lstepthekorn: hmm, how do I know that? in aptitude show, I don't see any such info :-(08:45
thekornhmm, good question08:46
lstepthekorn: In the package source, there's just the library file and a copyright08:47
lstepthekorn: packae content I mean08:47
thekornlstep, don't know, maybe you have downloaded the package frome somewhere and installed it manually?08:48
lstephmm, I don't usually do that08:49
thekornlstep, anyway, there is a "contact this user" link on https://edge.launchpad.net/~kow08:49
lstepthekorn: yes, thanks, I'll do that08:49
thekornlstep, I think this is the best way to get in contact with him08:49

caolinI have been trying for 4 days now to convert bug 254130 from a bug to a question but it always times out and does not do the conversion. Could someone else please try this and post the result to bug 438116? Also if it cannot be converted, any suggestions as to workarounds? The only thing I can think of is to treat the bug as if it were a question, provide the reporter wth a final answer and then mark it as invalid.14:35

balachmarHi, could someone help me to triage a bug?18:43
balachmarOr should I be @motu for that?18:44
micahgno, here is the place for triage balachmar18:46
micahgwhat's the issue?18:46
balachmarok, I am experiencing a bug on my other laptop. It boots, the gdm shows and I can login. But after login it freezes after some time.18:47
balachmarI am now searching in the logs for the time that still shows on the desktop (which does not add up anymore), but I cannot really find anything18:48
balachmarI am able to log into the machine using ssh by the way18:48
micahgwhich graphics card?18:48
balachmarintel 85518:48
micahg1There's a page here on how to troubleshoot X issues: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting18:52
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
micahgbalachmar: and here's the one on how to report a bug: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting18:52
balachmarmicahg: thanks I will read through the troubleshooting first :)18:54
micahggreat, if you need more help, please come back balachmar18:54
balachmarI try to run sudo INTEL_DEBUG=batch /etc/init.d/gdm restart, however GDM does not restart, how should I try to get a debug log from the freeze then?19:00
micahgdid you install the intel-gpu-tools?19:01
balachmaryes19:02
micahgis this before or after it froze?19:02
balachmarafter19:02
micahgok, you need to do this before and then make it freeze19:02
micahgBTW, are you on karmic?19:02
balachmaryes, but it freezes quite soon, so I might not be able to enter that info (yeah it started with karmic)19:03
balachmarI will try booting in recovery mode and start gdm manually19:04
micahgwell, you don't need to wait for gdm to start all the way, you can hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and get to a terminal19:04
balachmarok, weird. gdm does not start from recovery mode19:07
micahgyeah, I'd try regular mode and get to a terminal as soon as X starts to appear19:07
balachmarok gdm restarted, now just login and hope for a freeze right?19:10
micahgyep19:12
balachmarok, got the stuff. Bug report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/47681719:26
ubot4Launchpad bug 476817 in xorg "[karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard" [Undecided,New]19:27
balachmarHow should I turn some options off, because I have heard that karmic doesn't user much of the xorg.conf19:31
micahgbalachmar: if you upgraded with a custom xorg.conf, I suggest making a backup and regenerating it19:33
balachmarI have a backup, but how do I regenerate, because the last time I tried it just removed the xorg.conf (at least it seemd so)19:33
balachmarmmm, with compiz turned off, the gdm doesn't load...19:34
micahg sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg19:35
balachmarok, now it also freezes at the gdm with compiz on...19:37
balachmarCould this "conflicts with ACPI region SMB0" cause a freeze?19:40
micahgbalachmar: did you start with a new xorg.conf yet?19:42
balachmarno, not yet. It is now checking the HD. And I let it do that because of the few hard power off lately.19:43
balachmarBut now it seemed to have finished the file system check and there is no hdd action anymore, but I can hear me cpu fan spinning loadly. (So probably the cpu is doing something)19:45
kklimondaany idea why isn't xorg.conf generated by jockey when nvidia drivers are installed? how to debug it?19:49
balachmardpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg doesn't create an xorg.conf19:51
micahgweird19:51
micahgit should19:51
micahgit should create a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf19:51
balachmarit doesn't do that on my machine...19:52
micahgdid you use sudo?19:53
kklimondait always just worked for me so I don't know how to debug it and I don't even have working computer with nvidia anymore :/19:53
balachmarmicahg: yeah I used sudo19:54
balachmarmicahg: seems that it shouldn't do that anymore: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=55108220:00
ubot4Debian bug 551082 in xserver-xorg "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg does not create xorg.conf anymore" [Normal,Open]20:00
kklimondabalachmar: but jockey-gtk doesn't use it afair20:01
hggdhIIRC, xorg.conf is not really needed anymore20:01
svz90Hello. I had a quick question. If I see a bug that has "Affects" set to "ubuntu, when it could be made more specific, should I change it, even if I'm not the one who reported it20:01
kklimondahggdh: it's needed when you want to use closed driverse20:01
kklimondadrivers*20:01
balachmarkklimonda: the remark was not meant as a reply to your question20:01
kklimondabalachmar: ach, I see - you have a similar discussion :D20:02
kklimondasorry20:02
balachmarno worry20:02
hggdhkklimonda: let me rephrase: is not needed anymore unless you want out of the defaults ;-)20:02
balachmarhggdh: Then How do I specify the options of the intel video driver for X20:02
hggdhsvz90: in this case you *do* need it20:02
hggdhsvz90: you should set the affects to the correct package, indeed20:03
svz90bug doesn't affect me directly. It's a bluetooth bug, I though it might be better off being set to bluez20:03
svz90instead of gnome20:03
svz90that's why I wasn't sure if it was correct to change someone else's bug20:03
hggdhsvz90: if bluez is the affected package, yes. Usually "Ubuntu" is a placeholder meaning "I do not know what is the package"20:04
hggdhor "I do not know, nor I care"20:04
svz90hggdh: it20:04
svz90it's that file transfers are corrupt, so I'm guessing that's a problem with the stack.20:05
hggdhsvz90: do you have the bug #?20:05
svz9047439720:05

svz90hggdh: I was googling for info on something else about the stack, and came across it.20:06
hggdhsvz90: I am not sure *which* of the blue* packages it would be -- I do not use bluetooth20:09
hggdhbut certainly it is not Ubuntu20:09
kklimonda"dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so: invalid ELF header" - huh20:09

balachmarok, you can regenerate the xorg.conf with sudo Xorg -configure20:09
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
svz90hggdh: alright, so it's okay to change it? (and for future reference, it's okay to do this in the future with other bugs)?20:11
hggdhsvz90: yes, it is OK. Please also always add a comment on what you change20:13
hggdhthere are some "default" answers that you can copy & paste & adjust for that20:13

jcastroDo we still use regression tags after release?20:41
jcastrolike, if something worked in jaunty but not karmic do we put "regression-potential"20:41
jcastrohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/RegressionTracking feels like it's more of a dev release thing20:42
hggdhjcastro: yes, regression tags are still used20:42

ref_0_Hello. I have a problem with kubuntu 9.10 (upgraded from 9.04) and I want to report it as a bug in launchpad but I don't know how do that, I do not know which files and info attach.23:05
ref_0_The problem is that when I copy files (up to 50MB and tested from konsole or dolphin), the system becomes slow and unusable until the task is complete.23:05
ref_0_kswapd0 and pdflush process appear as "disk sleeping" in system monitor while file is copying.23:11
