[00:37] too early for lucid? [00:37] considering I spent my entire weekend triaging bugs for lucid, I'd say no, it's plenty apropros [00:40] Good evening dtchen. Hope all is well with you and yours [00:40] thanks, ditto [00:41] I have been trying to decide if I'm going to sit this dev cycle out... I'm tired from the karmic cycle still. :P [00:42] I empathise utterly. [00:42] heh === nigel_nb_ is now known as nigel_nb [01:11] Bug logistics question: I assume the person that takes on a bug sets its importance and not the person triaging? [01:13] depends on the team, but generally, yes [01:15] ok; does the triage-er assign the bug to whom they perceive to be the most appropriate person to deal/solve it? [01:15] well, in bug control, triagers generally set the initial importance [01:16] the maintainers can change it if they feel it's wrong [01:16] no, never set someone else to fix a bug [01:16] thats rude [01:18] micahg; ok [01:18] mjw99: bugsquad members can come in here an request an importance set [01:20] micahg; so bugsquad ppl can act as guiders for issues that may looking at? [01:21] well, they can work as triagers in training :) [01:22] cool :) [01:36] Is this a bug? --> just upgraded to 9.10 and on reboot I get stuck on the cli with a flickering screen that starts filckering after "setting up console fonts and keymap" any suggestions to fix this? [01:41] make sure you have the karmic-proposed pocket enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} === Snova_ is now known as Snova [01:50] dtchen: I will check that, thank you [01:53] win 27 [01:53] sorry ;) [01:53] oh, np [02:11] dtchen: thank you. That solved my problem. ;) [02:15] hello [02:15] we are keeping a known exploit in the screen saver. Why? [02:16] Known for years, available fixes... reported also few months ago, and month ago, and weeks ago. What are we waiting for? [02:16] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/394691 [02:16] Launchpad bug 394691 in ubuntu "Security hole in screensaver! Exposes screen/desktop image even if screen is LOCKED. nvidia, intel gfx; Old bug." [Medium,Confirmed] === asac_ is now known as asac [02:19] LimCore: that seems like a pretty low priority "security hole" [02:21] dtchen: going over to a locked desktop, and reading mail that was on screen, is a low priority? [02:24] seriously, anyone who can view your foreground terminal could just, you know, kill processes, pull the plug on the machine, ... [02:25] I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed in 10.04 and others [02:26] I'm saying it's not justifiably a grave concern [02:26] I do not understand what are you saying.. what? [02:26] anyone who has physical access to your desktop can do a lot worse than shoulder surf [02:26] anyone who can view foreground terminal can kill processes? huh? [02:27] how he can "kill pocesses"? [02:27] altsysrq? [02:28] this can be disabled [02:28] but more imoprtantly, this does not give access to for example high value email content to be read this way [02:28] also, such attack is not silent [02:28] * importantly [02:29] uh, I would *hope* that someone with high-value e-mails would not be leaving the MUA *open* before locking the screen. [02:29] well, now when I know the "quality" of "locking" screen in Ubuntu then for sure not. But other users do trust that LOCKING screen should.. uhm.. really LOCK the screen [02:29] again, I'm not saying the bug shouldn't be fixed [02:30] and I'm not saying that it isn't reproducible in some cases [02:30] kscreenlocker doesnt seem to unlock on proper password sometimes (other times its fine) so i stay logged in on a tty and kill the screen lock process manually to get back into my session... [02:30] I am trying to figure out a known, MORE security emergency bug, and this is hard. Only thing why this is not a Critical bug, is that is affects like I guess 5% of users or so [02:31] maco: lack of good locking of VT's is another, grave concern [02:31] LimCore - it's really difficult to fix a bug that noone else can reproduce [02:31] I would *hardly* classify that bug as critical [02:31] and I deal with some nasty bugs in my line of work. [02:31] chrisccoulson: interestingly I reportudcued it on like 5 computers, starting with Debians in 2007, throught Ubuntus 8.04 8.10, 9.04 and I am waiting for it to happen now on 9.10 :) [02:32] dtchen: well, now Ubuntu is 100% ownable by any one with phisical access. Of course anyone can "kill" such machine, but the problem is privacy breach here [02:33] this bug is one of like .. 3 ways (that i know of ruight now) to do it [02:33] 2 is VTs [02:33] 3 is firewire attack (I did not test it myself yet) [02:33] there are a *lot* more [02:33] * LimCore facepalms [02:33] well untrusted USB [02:33] of course kernel exploit that was fixed... [02:33] and what are more? [02:33] well, shouldnt we like, fix them all? [02:34] sigh. [02:34] you're missing my point, which is that if you can reproduce it, you can help fix it [02:34] this bug is 100% reproducable, at least for 9.04 I can guarantee [02:35] seriously? I haven't reproduced it, and I *remember* trying to do it one month ago [02:35] and it's 0% reproducible for everyone else. have you reproduced it in 9.10 yet? gnome-screensaver changed a lot this cycle... [02:35] well if it helps, gentoo developer I know hit this bug too afair. This is upstream bug [02:36] do not assume everyone reports all the bugs [02:36] no, it doesn't help. i've no idea what version the gentoo developer was running [02:36] LimCore: I think you're preaching to the choir here [02:37] anyway, why not just apply the fix, it should be one liner [02:37] we're all aware of security philosophy [02:37] just draw bigger black rectangle [02:37] that's a fix?! [02:37] probably - screensaver seems to read not correct size of screen [02:37] * dtchen facepalms [02:37] LimCore - you obviously no how to fix it, so please submit a patch [02:37] s/no/know [02:38] ok [02:38] if I have time I will youtube this attack, and then someone should own me a beer ;) [02:38] hmmm, why? [02:38] noone buys me a beer [02:38] because I report this bug all my life lol [02:38] its longest bug ever [02:38] hardly [02:38] ok, except for krusader-crashing-in-ftp [02:39] no, I mean for myself, not overall [02:39] dtchen: is there a list of this known exploits that you where talking about? [02:39] this isn't the first time I've seen you here trying to get attention by over-exaggerating the importance of your own bugs [02:39] because, I think we should fix them. what do you think guys [02:40] if every user did that, we'd all just disappear from IRC [02:40] chrisccoulson: luckily, my sekrit clone sauce is maturing [02:40] (oh, that sounds horrible) [02:40] heh :) [02:41] chrisccoulson: I think all security bugs are by definition Critical. But perhaps Ubuntu does not approach this topic so seriously [02:42] hmmm, i disagree. you still have to prioritise. remote exploits are maybe critical. local exploits are not so critical [02:43] and ubuntu does approach security seriously. but your bug is not reproducible by anybody else, and we've better things to do than spend weeks trying to reproduce a bug that affects one person, when there are more critical bugs to focus on [02:43] but that doesn't matter, as you already said that you've written a patch for your bug [02:44] please attach it to the bug report so that we can review it [02:59] chrisccoulson: it will take some time, but ok [02:59] why will it take time? you said earlier "anyway, why not just apply the fix, it should be one liner" [03:00] so you already know what the fix is, and it's a one liner [03:00] i'll be around for the next 10 minutes or so to look at the patch [03:01] it should be one liner for someone that knows GTK/X11 [03:05] but you know how to use GTK already, else how do you know it's a one liner? [03:07] well, since the problem is that the windows that is redrawn is smaller then screen, [03:08] * maco wonders if she should take away LimCore's shovel [03:08] hmmm, well, gnome-screensaver already sets the window to fullscreen [03:08] then src/gs-window-x11.c line 2240 could be one point [03:08] yes, in that line [03:08] so how do you know it's not a bug in GTK, or in the window manager? [03:08] also in other place it seemed to by hand resize the window to detected dimentions [03:09] it could be also bug there, dunno [03:10] right, well, i'm going to bed now. i have to be up for work in 3 hours [03:10] look, I do not know GTK, then I would just do it [03:10] i look forward to reviewing your patch tomorrow morning! [03:10] but it seems logical, if part of screen is not cleared, we should just cler it [03:10] seeing as nobody can reproduce it, nobody can write & test a fix [03:10] gnome-screensaver doesn't clear any part of the screen [03:11] well except the person who sees that bug [03:11] it just draws over it [03:11] ie. YOU [03:11] and my photo camera [03:11] default ubuntu installation ofcourse [03:11] on the pc, not on the camera [03:12] LimCore - it would be useful for you to actually run "gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug 2>&1 | tee gs-debug.log", trigger the issue, and attach the file to the bug report [03:14] other reports point to similar problems, with gnome screensaver detecting size of screen. http://osdir.com/ml/debian-bugs-dist/2009-04/msg06949.html [03:14] if window is too big, no problem, if it is too small... [04:45] ok I guess I should shut up untill fixing this bug ;) But, indeed there is a lot of debug already done in the topic of valid geometry there, like src/gs-window-x11.c +422 etc. cool [05:17] hi, i'm looking for some experienced hands in bug squad.. [05:22] under what package does a bug about wifi get filed? [05:33] Vantrax: ping [05:33] linux [05:33] yer nigel_nb ? [05:33] if it's a driver issue, that is. [05:33] Vantrax: dtchen just answered it for me [05:34] there are other parts in the wireless stack [05:34] dtchen: its about bug #478715 [05:34] if your not using a custom driver it will be under linux [05:34] Launchpad bug 478715 in ubuntu "Kubuntu fault with Advent 5511" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/478715 [05:34] could be network-manager, network-manager-applet [05:34] no additional information is attached [05:34] unless your using third party drivers all drivers are part of the kernel [05:34] so ask for more info? [05:34] is there something specific I should be asking? [05:35] I bet that's a dupe of bug 470265 [05:35] Launchpad bug 470265 in grub "[MASTER] jaunty to karmic upgrade failed to update menu.lst (update-grub missing from kernel-img.conf)" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/470265 [05:35] dtchen: this one's just that wifi cannot be connected [05:35] it's impossible to tell unless the reporter reproduces his/her symptom and attaches output from uname -r, etc. [05:35] so I have to ask him for all this... [05:36] nigel_nb: it also lists problems with the touchpad [05:36] dtchen: yeah.. just noticed thta [05:36] anyhow, I'm just handwaving until that info appears in the bug report [05:36] so he needs to give a bunch of info, how do ask him to put that info? [05:37] what do i ask him to put rather [05:37] ask him to upgrade again to 9.10 and use ubuntu-bug linux [05:37] he'll need to run ubuntu-bug after rebooting into 9.10, of course [05:37] just general ubuntu-bug? [05:37] "ubuntu-bug linux" [05:38] sorry, it's late, so I'm being lazy and not typing out each command [05:38] thanks dtchen.. new to bug squad.. [05:38] I'm trying to work at triaging 5 bugs a day [05:39] of course this reporter mentioned Kubuntu but failed to mention what sort of wireless AP he was attempting to connect to [05:39] that was the worst part [05:39] if it was broadcom, then it should be a question [05:40] well, AFAIK, plasma-widget-networkmanagement still has WPA2 issues [05:40] I haven't verified, so I can't speak with any authority on it [05:40] the broadcom drivers have wpa2-enterprise issues [05:40] right, and that would be bcmwl [05:41] (for the affected source package name) [05:41] ah [05:41] anyway, I changed the status and asked him to run ubuntu-bug linux [05:41] nigel_nb: he'll need to upgrade to 9.10 again first [05:41] that's a pretty critical part [05:42] told that [05:42] ok [05:42] "Not enough information. Please boot into Kubuntu 9.10 (the release where you had this problem) and run "ubuntu-bug linux" from terminal." [05:42] dtchen: is that fine? [05:43] I would say yes [05:43] thanks :) [05:44] umm [05:44] shouldnt it be apport-collect -p BUGNUMBER? [05:44] since the bug is already filed? [05:44] woops [05:45] yes/no [05:45] maco: I should change it? [05:45] doesn't really matter, since if it is in fact a separate install vs. upgrade issue, I personally would rather have a separate bug [05:54] for adding info on bug #478904, the user has filed bug #478909 (to say that it works there), here I should be asking him to use apport-collect -p BUGNUMBER?

These buttons work if I tab select them and press the space bar. [11:22] Am I in the right place to ask this question? [11:29] Hi. I installed ubuntu 9.10 for amd 64. I did an apt-get for flash-player. I am able to view flash sites like youtube.com but the sometimes(most of the times) the buttons on the flash player do not work. (ie. The play button, the pause button the maiximize button). These buttons work if I tab select them and press the space bar.This behaviour is intermittent. I am not sure if the problem is with Ubuntu, firefox or flash. I tried to Google but [11:30] cool^tom: Flashplayer issue. Try right click and whilst holding the right button down clicking with the left button, that should then work if it is the current flash issue [11:31] davmor2: Thanks will give it a try.

Should I keep marking them as dupes even if the original has a very long list of them ? Thanks a lot. [14:59] _Narc_: If one is the duplicate of another, then you should. A duplicate is a duplicate. A large amount of duplicates also increases the Importance of a bug. [14:59] Because it shows that a large group of people are suffering from it. [15:00] <_Narc_> Ok then.

[15:03] yw [15:16] Boo [15:21] If someone can find the time to confirm that bug 479187 - the one I'm triaging - is really a dupe of 417842, that would be great. Just to see if I'm right. Thanks.

However, it doesn't necessarily have to have to do with the X-server as well.

[20:35] It happens sometimes during installation, random things I've been doing in karmic [20:36] so I wanted to report that karmic may have many bugs that caused my screen to freeze and my CPU kept working harder for no reason at all. [20:37] that's a bug, yes [20:38] it freezes randomly ? [20:38] correct [20:39] It's like you are doing things and out of the blue, it freezes on you. [20:39] ok the problem is that I don't know what is causing this [20:39] it could be hardware [20:39] Possibly. I've read in Ubuntuforums that other users are experiencing issues like this as well. [20:41] ok, the next step is searching on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ if anyone is experiencing something similar, and have already reported it [20:41] that what 'im doing now [20:41] :) [20:42] Yeah I'm researching this as well [20:43] I think maybe I should downgrade karmic to jaunty or lower [20:43] if the problem happens only since karmic, add "karmic" to your search [20:44] people would usually "since karmic" in such bug reports [20:44] JerVA: what graphics card? [20:44] Very old - NVIDIA 5200 [20:45] but it worked in previous ubuntus [20:45] JerVA: there were some nvidia issues with karmic [20:45] I mean NVIDIA GEForce 5200 [20:45] No matter what versions NVIDIA is - it is an issue with karmic? [20:46] JerVA: you might want to enable -proposed [20:46] How do I do this? [20:47] Software Sources [20:47] oh yeah [20:47] Administration [20:48] karmic-proposed? [20:48] yeah [20:51] the Apport bug that keeps spaming people on the bug list or subscribed to it just went from spam to hate mail. i'm getting a lot of people trying to unsubscribe, but are not able to and as a result are now spaming the list with non-nice mail. anychance someone can either fix the bug or get the bug mailer to drop the mailng for the a [20:51] that bug? [20:52] Ahmuck-Sr: you didnt say a bug number [20:52] hi maco [20:53] i'll have to wait a bit to get teh bug to re-appear [20:54] ....its not in your email somewhere? [20:54] this is bug 429322 [20:54] Launchpad bug 429322 in seahorse-plugins "seahorse-agent assert failure: ERROR:iop-profiles.c:606:IOP_generate_profiles: assertion failed: (obj && (obj->profile_list == NULL) && obj->orb)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/429322 [20:54] seahorse-plugin [20:54] about 150 messages today from Apport spam [20:54] indeed it is generating a lot of emails [20:54] yep, that's it [20:57] Thank you micahg [20:58] I'm going to restart the PC - thanks bibinou as well [21:01] Ahmuck-Sr: fixing the bug means finding the root issue. Last time I heard about it we had not found it yet [21:06] problem is i can't unsubscribe from it. there's a bug in the bug system [21:13] Ahmuck-Sr: are you subscribed to it or to a duplicate? if dup, unsubscribe from that [21:13] Ahmuck-Sr: or maybe youre a member of a team thats subscribed to it? [21:15] maco, this is actually going on for a while. This bug keeps on being reported again, and then dupped. Everyone subscribed gets at least one email from apport [21:16] I cannot open it anymore, I think LP barfs on it trying to process the subscription lists [21:16] ahhh ok [21:16] but release happened [21:16] why is apport doing anything at all? [21:16] shouldnt auto-apport be disabled now? [21:16] it is [21:17] somehow, some of the reporters are still with apport active (or they have not upgraded, I do not know) [21:17] i see [21:18] hggdh: I just got another patch fixing apport being enabled today [21:18] oh, so it was still enabled? [21:19] maco, both [21:19] i think it auto-subscribed people? [21:19] idk, I keep it enabled so I can report bugs [21:19] i'm a member of a bug team, yes [21:19] Ahmuck-Sr: if you reported this bug (and it got dupped) then you are subscribed [21:20] your best bet right now is unsubscribe from the bug *you* reported [21:20] micahg: I also keep it enabled, but I am very selective on what I report ;-) [21:21] * micahg is the same way [21:22] but our involvement with ubuntu justifies it, and we (usually) know what we are doing. Right now, on this bug, we have a *LOT* of end-users getting mighty pissed [21:23] they just reported an error, and are now (as they perceive it) being spammed -- which will make them less likely to report new -- and perhaps critical -- issues [21:23] for me, what bloody pisses me off is that I cannot even open the bug, LP barfs on a timeout [21:23] hggdh: you could post a comment telling people to unsubscribe from their bug [21:24] micahg: this has already been posted :-( [21:24] some 3 times, methinks [21:25] and I cannot get any attention from #launchpad on this [21:25] well, there are some problems when subscriber count is too high [21:26] like bug 408457 [21:26] Launchpad bug 408457 in malone "Launchpad unable to show subscribers for bug with 400 duplicates" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/408457 [21:26] regarding bug 429322 - i already know the root issue [21:26] Launchpad bug 429322 in seahorse-plugins "seahorse-agent assert failure: ERROR:iop-profiles.c:606:IOP_generate_profiles: assertion failed: (obj && (obj->profile_list == NULL) && obj->orb)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/429322 [21:26] but this bug is only an issue because people still have apport enabled [21:26] there are no other side effects (ie, it crashes on exit) [21:27] yes, this is the same perspective i've had. for me it's an issue of marking it as spam and dumping anything with Apport into the spam folder. however, i've been watching users. [21:28] and honestly, i'm no longer reporting any bugs for fear that this will happen again [21:29] hggdh has hit the nail on the head so to speak [21:32] we should review bug subscription [21:32] hggdh: meeting item for tomorrow? [21:32] micahg: good idea, will add it in (although this will end up on LP) [21:35] done. Ahmuck-Sr -- please do not stop reporting bugs, we will look at this issue [21:37]
