jtniehof | I'm confused by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/ ...it says (under Confirming) 'Change the "Assigned to" field to "Nobody"', but that doesn't seem possible. i.e. there's no "Nobody" as a special option, just lots of Launchpad users who put "nobody" as their name | 01:37 |
jtniehof | should I just leave it as "Unassigned"? | 01:38 |
micahg | jtniehof: yes, bugs should be unassigned unless someone is working on it | 01:38 |

WeatherGod | ok, just annoying that I can't get Firefox to search for the bug number within an edit box, it seems | 03:04 |

WeatherGod | micahg, I'll install those tools right now | 03:12 |
WeatherGod | the problem with the nautilus focus today is that I use UNR, and a lot of these things I can't even verify | 03:13 |

WeatherGod | I can push it there | 03:20 |
mrand | WeatherGod: cool. Take credit for it on hugday | 03:21 |
hggdh | WeatherGod: personally, the txt bug is a wontfix. But let's see what upstream says | 03:22 |
WeatherGod | personally, I think that is one of those "seems easy to fix, but has a lot of nasty implications" type things | 03:22 |
WeatherGod | I think my writeup on the gnome site was fair | 03:23 |
hggdh | yes, this is the point. The OR (original reporter) is expecting file suffix to always match windows. This will not happen | 03:23 |
hggdh | WeatherGod: it was. | 03:24 |
WeatherGod | and using mime-types is bad | 03:24 |
WeatherGod | quite honestly, i think just having the fat32 and ntfs partitions mount as noexec would be a better solution | 03:25 |
WeatherGod | but I don't think others would be happy with that | 03:26 |
hggdh | about bug 472437 -- I would like the OR to run gnome-system-monitor from a terminal, and attach the output to the bug | 03:26 |

WeatherGod | sweet, the hugday program is cool | 04:03 |
WeatherGod | wonder if I can get it working on Fedora? | 04:03 |
WeatherGod | will have to repackage it for rpms, of course... but then I could do hugdays while at work | 04:04 |

WeatherGod | hggdh, quick question, how should I triage bug 482166? | 16:11 |
ubot4 | Launchpad bug 482166 in ubuntu "Ubuntu 9.10 installation grub error 15" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/482166 | 16:11 |
WeatherGod | looks like it was an error with installation process | 16:11 |
dacone | hggdh, dvgrab does apparently everything we want (winding, rewinding playing etc.) but when used to rip the tapes dvgrab produces huge files and none of our programs seem to be able to read them | 16:11 |
dacone | hggdh, i use dv2 to store the data -opendml and -a to actually split the dump into files matching the chapters -t to set the date to each filename | 16:12 |
hggdh | dacone: so the problem seems to be 'ripping DV tapes with dvgrab produces bad output', or similar, correct? | 16:12 |
bcurtiswx_ | WeatherGod: where does the MBR get stored? | 16:13 |
dacone | hggdh, yes, but "randomly" i cant find out when the error occurs | 16:13 |
hggdh | dacone: so sometimes it *does* produce good output? | 16:13 |
hggdh | bcurtiswx_: in the MBR? ;-) | 16:13 |
WeatherGod | that's what I was going to say | 16:13 |
dacone | hggdh, its a bit like there was a hardcoded "only write 50% of files correclty, then change endieness" | 16:13 |
bcurtiswx_ | hggdh: idk these things... :P which is on the motherboard? on a drive? what? | 16:14 |
hggdh | bcurtiswx_: it gets written on the disk | 16:14 |
WeatherGod | bcurtiswx_, the MBR (Master Boot Record) goes at the very beginning of the disk | 16:15 |
M1Tn1Ck | hy | 16:15 |
WeatherGod | the bios checks it to start the boot process | 16:15 |
hggdh | dacone: can you provide a sample input and output? | 16:15 |
dacone | hggdh, to speak in human readable terms: approx. 11Gbyte data/tape and 1-7Gbyte unreadeable... | 16:15 |
bcurtiswx_ | if you say it's on the MBR then I wasn't paying attention in computer building class | 16:15 |
hggdh | heh | 16:15 |
bcurtiswx_ | sorry, my wireless keps DC at work | 16:16 |
dacone | hggdh, i dont know how, input is miniDV-tape and output is DV2-AVI | 16:16 |
bcurtiswx_ | ok so that bug IMO seems huge is Ubuntu is installed on a hard drive which the BIOS doesn't read at first? | 16:16 |
WeatherGod | bcurtiswx_, also, that is a good reason why you shouldn't have the boot on RAID5 | 16:16 |
hggdh | dacone: sounds like a good bug for me. There is probably a way of running dvgrab in debug mode | 16:17 |
WeatherGod | bcurtiswx_, yeah, the install process seems to have chosen the wrong disk, which is *very* dangerous! | 16:17 |
hggdh | bcurtiswx_: when you partition/format your disks, usually you select one (disk or partition) to be the bootable device. The MBR will be written there | 16:17 |
WeatherGod | I once almost messed up a software RAID that way | 16:18 |
bcurtiswx_ | hggdh: so if you install ubuntu using the liveCD on a drive that the BIOS reads second... it could be very dangerous? | 16:18 |
WeatherGod | bcurtiswx_, it is dangerous if you accidentially write where you didn't intend to | 16:19 |
bcurtiswx_ | i know that........ | 16:19 |
bcurtiswx_ | i apparently suck at getting my point out | 16:19 |
dacone | hggdh, i also notices crashes when dvgrab is invoked with "-a" (autosplit) when -t (timecode) is missing, my explanation is, that dvgrab doesnt provide filenumbering without this timecode function | 16:19 |
hggdh | dacone: this is a bug, certainly | 16:20 |
WeatherGod | bcurtiswx_, most of the time, for most people, this is not an issue as they only have one drive | 16:20 |
bcurtiswx_ | WeatherGod: yeah, I get all this... i just didn't say things right.... maybe i need to start drinking coffee | 16:21 |
WeatherGod | but it is still bad, nevertheless | 16:21 |
WeatherGod | heh, if you like drinking burnt toast, sure... | 16:21 |
bcurtiswx_ | I don't drink coffee.. but it seems with the lack of caffeine in the mornings my IQ seems to average around 20 until lunch | 16:23 |
bcurtiswx_ | anything in specific that grub bugs should have....? <as i look for a wiki page on this> | 16:23 |
hggdh | bcurtiswx_: I *do* drink coffee, and still my IQ hovers on the cretin level, sometimes the whole day | 16:24 |
WeatherGod | sounds like a personal problem to me... | 16:24 |
bcurtiswx_ | hggdh: lol | 16:24 |

hggdh | dacone: certainly opening a bug on LP seems a good option. Additionally, you may want to find who is upstream for dvgrab, and search there | 16:25 |
dacone | hggdh dvgrab seems to be part of the kinodv.org, i'll try LP first. | 16:26 |
hggdh | dacone: opening a bug on LP will (hopefully) indicate to some other sufferer that this has been seen | 16:27 |
hggdh | but checking upstream will probably get you a faster response | 16:27 |
dacone | hggdh, you mean i should try to find the package maintainer for dvgrab@ubuntu | 16:28 |
hggdh | this might help, yes -- it will be a MOTU. | 16:28 |

WeatherGod | This is a very nice webpage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures | 16:53 |
WeatherGod | but it needs more | 16:53 |
WeatherGod | there is nothing here about Software Center | 16:53 |
bcurtiswx_ | dont' hesitate to update it if you want to... everytime ubuntu changes a large chunk of wiki pages become "outdated"... its hard to keep up | 16:54 |
WeatherGod | and I don't see anything about UbuntuOne | 16:54 |
bcurtiswx_ | comma between changes and a | 16:54 |
WeatherGod | well, before adding anything, I would want to make sure I have my facts straight | 16:55 |
WeatherGod | for example, with Software Center, I have noticed that you have to run synaptic first (with a Refresh) before SC starts working again | 16:56 |
WeatherGod | I have no clue if that is an official fix or what is the bug to link to for that, though | 16:56 |
bcurtiswx_ | Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 16:57 |
bcurtiswx_ | = flaky | 16:57 |
WeatherGod | yeah, very | 16:57 |
bcurtiswx_ | is there a non-free driver for it? ubuntu didn't recognize anything | 16:58 |
WeatherGod | Atheros is the non-free driver, I believe | 16:58 |
WeatherGod | I was using madwifi for a while | 16:58 |
WeatherGod | don't know what happened to that project though | 16:58 |

hggdh | my (already existing) ~/.bazaar did not get to be root | 17:45 |
nigel_nb | ah | 17:45 |
nigel_nb | then I think it does not effect you if bazaar is already installed | 17:46 |
nigel_nb | I tried it on my vm, where there was no bazaar | 17:46 |
WeatherGod | bdmurray, thanks! | 17:46 |

nigel_nb | hggdh: lemme try purging it, installing bazaar first, and then etckeeper | 17:47 |
hggdh | yes, good test | 17:48 |
hggdh | nigel_nb: on my install etckeeper installed a bzr branch under /etc | 17:53 |
nigel_nb | but inside your home, its not causing any problem right? | 17:53 |
nigel_nb | hggdh: its supposed to create a branch under /etc | 17:54 |
hggdh | there is no .bzr under my home. I *do* have a .bazaar, with my basic config | 17:54 |
hggdh | which, in my case, it did | 17:54 |
hggdh | ah | 17:54 |
hggdh | what it is doing is creating you user bzr configuration as root under ~ | 17:55 |
nigel_nb | yep | 17:55 |
nigel_nb | so the entire app is causing a sorta problem right? | 17:55 |
nigel_nb | hggdh: I'm stilling getting that "No handlers can be found for "bzr" | 17:56 |
hggdh | it is probably missing a chown on the post install, or similar | 17:56 |
nigel_nb | hmm, so a confirmed bug, but mostly a packaging problem? | 17:57 |
hggdh | nigel_nb: what is the content of your ~/.bazaar? pastebin it | 17:57 |
hggdh | it is a bug, I *think* on packaging | 17:57 |
WeatherGod | is it desired behavior for new folders to have their permission bits set to rwxr-xr-x? | 17:57 |

hggdh | also, the description of the bug is sort of flakey: the default permissions (i.e., umask) look more like 022 than 000 | 19:07 |

WeatherGod | I would mark it as invalid | 19:35 |
WeatherGod | pedro originally invalidated it anyway | 19:35 |
WeatherGod | the OR is the one who messed around with it | 19:36 |
mr_steve | That's what I thought, i just had to double check, since I'm pretty new and have been awake for 30 hours or so.. | 19:37 |
hggdh | yes, it certainly should not be fix released | 19:38 |
hggdh | user error | 19:38 |
mr_steve | Well I've set it back to invalid, if he changes it I suppose I'll come up with a polite "please stop doing that" | 19:39 |
hggdh | and explain why it is invalid instead of fix released | 19:40 |
WeatherGod | maybe he didn't like be called an "Invalid"... | 19:40 |
hggdh | with a link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status | 19:41 |
WeatherGod | can anyone confirm bug 482286? | 19:49 |
ubot4 | Launchpad bug 482286 in openoffice.org "OpenOffice Writer crashes when moving mouse over menu bars" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/482286 | 19:49 |
WeatherGod | sounds like a serious one, but I don't have my Karmic install available | 19:49 |
etali | WeatherGod: Just tried that OO Writer bug, not happening here (updated this morning too, so should be running the same version as they are). | 19:59 |
WeatherGod | ok, thanks... I'll ask him to reboot and double-check to see if he is completely updated | 20:00 |
WeatherGod | maybe something happened with the java updates | 20:00 |
