[01:11] <micahg> yes
[01:12] <bibinou> the fact that his profile became corrupt isn't a bug ?
[01:12] <micahg> not necesarily
[01:12] <micahg> could be the user ran FF as root
[01:12] <micahg> could be a bad extensions
[01:12] <micahg> *entension
[01:12] <micahg> *extension
[01:12] <bibinou> i'm new to this some I was not sure I this was resolved or not
[01:13] <bibinou> ok so I can close such bugs involving profile corruption
[01:13] <micahg> user had some extensions
[01:13] <bibinou> thanks !
[01:13] <micahg> bibinou: well, if the user tries to figure it out as to what's wrong, I usually give them a chance
[01:13] <micahg> this user seemed happy with a new profile
[01:13] <bibinou> ok
[01:14] <bibinou> i was about to give him some clue to migrate his bookmarks for instance
[01:14] <micahg> if there is a profile corruption issue that we can actually point to corruption due to firefox as an issue, that's a bug :)

[01:17] <nigel_nb> hi
[01:18] <bibinou> micahg, ok thank you

[01:18] <nigel_nb> just wanted to say Hi to everyone out here :)
[01:18] <micahg> hi nigel_nb, do you have any questions?
[01:19] <nigel_nb> micahg: so far the getting started guide is very informative.. I haven't started triaging bugs yet...
[01:19] <nigel_nb> micahg: wanted have everything ready in bookmarks so that I know exactly whats the problem
[01:19] <micahg> ok, feel free to ask any questions you have, there's usually someone in here most of the time
[01:20] <nigel_nb> micahg: thanks.  Will do :)
[01:42] <bibinou> I don't really "get" the difference between package and project on launchpad, from a maintener point of view
[01:43] <bibinou> what is the point for mozilla to have a project on launchpad for instance ?
[01:43] <micahg> bibinou: upstream contact
[01:43] <micahg> that's where we link to bugzilla.mozilla.org

[06:16] <ausimage> though I did not realize at the time the extent of the breakage
[06:16] <micahg> well, I don't know much about dbus
[06:16] <ausimage> neither do I... should these really be merged ?? :/
[06:17] <micahg> I don't know, I suggest coming back later Sunday when someone else is in here
[06:17] <ausimage> micahg: my other concern is that it appears centered around ubuntu... like a dbus patch was not applied or something :S
[06:18] <micahg> well, thank you for being concerned :)
[06:19] <ausimage> I don't do alot of triage myself... but I did notice the pattern
[06:19] <ausimage> ;)
[06:19] <ausimage> I will try to drop in tomorrow again... though I have a full day with a release party... :)
[06:20] <micahg> so, the best thing would probably be to come back in a while

=== JBSchool is now known as JonyBlaze
[15:57] <toresbe> Hello folks :)
[15:58] <toresbe> I think I have what appears to be a bug on a fresh Karmic install. "Enable wireless" is greyed out in nm-applet.
[16:01] <toresbe> I was thinking I should enclose the WLAN-relevant part of dmesg, the relevant parts of syslog and the output of nm-tool, iwconfig and ifconfig
[16:01] <toresbe> any more or less?
[16:15] <greg-g> toresbe: that is a good set of info. I'm wondering if it might be kernel related (kernel not recognizing the card?)
[16:16] <dtchen> I'd add /proc/interrupts
[16:19] <greg-g> toresbe: ^ I'd trust dtchen  :)
[16:19] <mrand> dtchen: So besides wrong kernel and volume set to zero, mind sharing some bug numbers for the most common audio bugs and fixes?  [re: dtchen: ahhh. After a long week, finally inbox zero for new Karmic audio bugs.]
=== YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDragon
[16:21] <dtchen> mrand: I blogged about this already.
[16:21] <dtchen> drowninginbugs.blogspot, see the latest
[16:21] <mrand> cool.  Thanks!
[16:21] <mrand> funny title, btw.
[16:21] <mrand> even if it is accurate
[16:22] <dtchen> best to keep things lighthearted, I find
[16:24] <mrand> I saw a case of the wrong kernel when someone did a upgrade-manager -d (before Karmic was released).  The upgrade jumped him directly from 8.04 or 8.10 to Karmic, but didn't give him the karmic kernel.
[16:24] <toresbe> ah, no, sorry, I was imprecise. It is greyed out, but the card works perfectly when used with iwconfig/dhclient.
[16:24] <toresbe> Additionally, nm-tool displays the card.
[16:25] <greg-g> toresbe: ahh, nevermind about my idea then :)
[16:25] <dtchen> toresbe: network-manager-applet is the affected src
[16:26] <dtchen> I'm a bit dismayed that the hal/devicekit/udev convergence is leading to a requirement to have perfectly aligned bits from the kernel upward
[18:10] <_Narc_> Hi everyone, sorry to bother again. Anyone here can tell me if a Live CD issue - or suggestion - concerning error messages from the installer should be assigned to the ubiquity package ? Thanks a lot.
[18:13] <micahg> _Narc_: depends on the issue
[18:13] <micahg> ah error messages from the installer
[18:13] <micahg> do you have a pastebin of the errors?
[18:14] <_Narc_> Yes, it's someone from Brainstorm, suggesting that the message "Unable to read block ..." is not very user-friendly...
[18:15] <_Narc_> It's not a really a bug, just an idea, but someone on Brainstorm told him to post a bug report
[18:15] <_Narc_> So I wondered...
[18:19] <dtchen> yes, affecting ubiquity and setting the Importance to Wishlist is fine
[18:19] <micahg> well, we'll set the impotance, you can file the bug :)
[18:19] <micahg> oops
[18:19] <micahg> importance
[18:19] <dtchen> I'm not setting any impotence!
[18:19] <_Narc_> Haha
[18:19] <_Narc_> Good for you then
[18:20] <_Narc_> Okay, I'm affecting it to ubiquity then.
[18:20] <_Narc_> THanks
[18:22] <dtchen> ah, here come the comments: "Why didn't you test any hardware?"
[18:23] <dtchen> I'm at a loss how I'm supposed to test hardware that I don't physically possess. The fact that the user doesn't help test *before* the final release isn't helpful, either. So -- how do we test before we test?
[18:23] <dtchen> I need a time machine, preferably a TARDIS.
[18:23] <micahg> simulator?
[18:24] <micahg> is it possible to have unit tests for audio like you do for code?
[18:24] <dtchen> what sort of simulator?
[18:24] <micahg> idk
[18:24] <micahg> hw simulator
[18:24] <dtchen> sure, that will test the kernel layer and nothing else
[18:24] <dtchen> and of course that presumes that the model is 100% correct
[18:24] <micahg> well, all test suites assume that
[18:24] <dtchen> (which it isn't and can't be, because the drivers themselves aren't current/correct)
[18:25] <dtchen> test suites can deal with their own layer
[18:25] <dtchen> they can't deal with a broken bios, a broken linux, a broken alsa-lib, etc.
[18:25] <micahg> ah
[18:25] <dtchen> i.e., writing a test for hda-emu won't mean a thing for the broken Dell bioses
[18:26] <dtchen> or Toshiba bioses, or ASUS bioses, or Acer bioses, ...
[18:39] <_Narc_> ...so if I get this right, about Live CD bugs, any problem encountered before the installer actually booted is to be filled under the kernel and anything happening after under ubiquity, right ?...
[18:42] <dtchen> well, no; there's also casper.
[18:44] <_Narc_> Oh... It's more subtle then.
[18:44] <_Narc_> I'll read about that, thanks.

[19:07] <dtchen> Awsoonn_: for the new kernel. And linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic has nothing to do with the karmic-backports pocket.
[19:07] <dtchen> Awsoonn_: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-15-generic is in karmic/universe, not karmic-backports/universe
[19:08] <Awsoonn_> dtchen: you are a great help, Thank you so much
[19:09] <dtchen> np
[19:10] <Awsoonn_> do you think that it would be a good idea to encorporate this into Jockey so that it automaticly installs the drivers for this card when detected?
[19:11] <dtchen> that would probably require promoting linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) into main, which isn't going to happen
[19:11] <dtchen> not that it isn't possible, of course
[19:12] <dtchen> is your symptom resolved after rebooting with linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic installed?
[19:12] <Awsoonn_> fglrx is not in main, but is part of jockey's make-it-happen-action, I'm thinking a similar action might be do-able. I'm installing now
[19:12] <dtchen> fglrx is in restricted
[19:12] <dtchen> it's essentially at the same level as main

[19:34] <Awsoonn_> yea, look at the oopsText.txt
[19:34] <Awsoonn_> you can see that this error was caused by a resume error

[19:45] <_Narc_> is there a way to know ?

[19:45] <_Narc_> to avoid asking each time
[19:45] <_Narc_> Haha
[19:45] <_Narc_> Yeah
[19:46] <_Narc_> I guess I'm not intimate enough  with the kernel yet
[19:46] <Awsoonn_> I'd say that is jsut about right, you learn more and more as you go, in this case I'd say no, and since you've found one duplicate yOu might wnat to round up other dups
[19:47] <Awsoonn_> when did you begin triaging?

[19:58] <Awsoonn> the bug with the more information is the 'original' and the other one is the 'duplicate', and yea, it has a TON. :P
[19:59] <Awsoonn> i read into it a ways down and this error is simply stating that reusme took longer than 5 seconds and it is reporting to LP so that the issue can be investigated more.
[20:00] <_Narc_> It has been or will be investigated obviously with a huge list like this :P
[20:01] <_Narc_> Ya, I still got mixed up with duplicates
[20:01] <Awsoonn> *nods* hence the huge importance of grouping dups, which apport is doing an awesome job of. :)
[20:03] <_Narc_> by grouping you mean looking for some and marking them as such ? or something else I don't know yet ?
[20:08] <_Narc_> Sorry I misread.
[20:13] <Awsoonn> yea, if there is a bug that you think might have a lot of dups, you can look for them and mark them as a dups of one another.
[20:13] <Awsoonn> There is a lot of things that a triager can do :D
[20:14] <Awsoonn> what do you hope to do for Ubuntu someday Narc? (just curious)
[20:15] <_Narc_> Well, I've been a huge fan of computing and open-source philosophy for years now, and I hope one day - when my programming skills will be way better - I could help improving it too.
[20:16] <_Narc_> For now, I decided to do what I can do, translating, triaging, a bit of evangelism too :)

[20:35] <_Narc_> One last before going, just to see if I'm learning. What about bug #478547 ? I'd file it under "ubiquity" and not linux since booting live cd is ok but not intalling... What do you think ?

[20:42] <dtchen> well, this one doesn't follow the normal pattern
[20:45] <_Narc_> I'm always unwillingly good at picking special/odd cases as examples.
[20:46] <dtchen> that's okay

[22:35] <_Narc_> Someone can tell me what to do of hardware support requests filled as bugs - except helping or redirecting to the forums ? Invalid ? Thanks a lot
[22:36] <maco> if its not supported...bug against linux
[22:36] <maco> if its 'Help!' convert to question
[22:37] <_Narc_> Well, it's both in this case, I checked and its not supported but the user is asking support and help, "new to linux" etc
[22:38] <_Narc_> But thanks, I didn't know unsupported had to be considered bugs.
[22:40] <maco> yeah.. i mean, if theres no driver or the driver doesnt work...thats a bug
[22:40] <maco> the driver needs to be written
[22:40] <maco> or fixed
[22:42] <_Narc_> Ok. Logical, when you see it that way.
[23:13] <caolin> If a user files a bug and then later discovers that there was a usage problem rather than a bug, should the bug be simply be marked "invalid" or should it be turned into a question and marked as answered?
