jtniehofI'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 name01:37
jtniehofshould I just leave it as "Unassigned"?01:38
micahgjtniehof: yes, bugs should be unassigned unless someone is working on it01:38

WeatherGodok, just annoying that I can't get Firefox to search for the bug number within an edit box, it seems03:04

mrandWeatherGod: cool.  Take credit for it on hugday03:21
hggdhWeatherGod: personally, the txt bug is a wontfix. But let's see what upstream says03:22
WeatherGodpersonally, I think that is one of those "seems easy to fix, but has a lot of nasty implications" type things03:22
WeatherGodI think my writeup on the gnome site was fair03:23
hggdhyes, this is the point. The OR (original reporter) is expecting file suffix to always match windows. This will not happen03:23
hggdhWeatherGod: it was.03:24
WeatherGodand using mime-types is bad03:24
WeatherGodquite honestly, i think just having the fat32 and ntfs partitions mount as noexec would be a better solution03:25
WeatherGodbut I don't think others would be happy with that03:26

WeatherGodhggdh, quick question, how should I triage bug 482166?16:11
ubot4Launchpad bug 482166 in ubuntu "Ubuntu 9.10 installation grub error 15" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48216616:11
WeatherGodlooks like it was an error with installation process16:11
daconehggdh, 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 them16:11
daconehggdh, 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 filename16:12
hggdhdacone: 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
daconehggdh, yes, but "randomly" i cant find out when the error occurs16:13
hggdhdacone: so sometimes it *does* produce good output?16:13
hggdhbcurtiswx_: in the MBR? ;-)16:13
WeatherGodthat's what I was going to say16:13
daconehggdh, 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
hggdhbcurtiswx_: it gets written on the disk16:14
WeatherGodbcurtiswx_, the MBR (Master Boot Record) goes at the very beginning of the disk16:15
M1Tn1Ckhy16:15
WeatherGodthe bios checks it to start the boot process16:15
hggdhdacone: can you provide a sample input and output?16:15
daconehggdh, 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 class16:15
hggdhheh16:15
bcurtiswx_sorry, my wireless keps DC at work16:16
daconehggdh, i dont know how, input is miniDV-tape and output is DV2-AVI16:16
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
WeatherGodbcurtiswx_, also, that is a good reason why you shouldn't have the boot on RAID516:16
hggdhdacone: sounds like a good bug for me. There is probably a way of running dvgrab in debug mode16:17
WeatherGodbcurtiswx_, yeah, the install process seems to have chosen the wrong disk, which is *very* dangerous!16:17
hggdhbcurtiswx_: when you partition/format your disks, usually you select one (disk or partition) to be the bootable device. The MBR will be written there16:17
WeatherGodI once almost messed up a software RAID that way16:18
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
WeatherGodbcurtiswx_, it is dangerous if you accidentially write where you didn't intend to16:19
bcurtiswx_i know that........16:19
bcurtiswx_i apparently suck at getting my point out16:19
daconehggdh, 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 function16:19
hggdhdacone: this is a bug, certainly16:20
WeatherGodbcurtiswx_, most of the time, for most people, this is not an issue as they only have one drive16:20
bcurtiswx_WeatherGod: yeah, I get all this... i just didn't say things right.... maybe i need to start drinking coffee16:21
WeatherGodbut it is still bad, nevertheless16:21
WeatherGodheh, 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 lunch16:23
bcurtiswx_anything in specific that grub bugs should have....? <as i look for a wiki page on this>16:23
hggdhbcurtiswx_: I *do* drink coffee, and still my IQ hovers on the cretin level, sometimes the whole day16:24
WeatherGodsounds like a personal problem to me...16:24
bcurtiswx_hggdh: lol16:24
daconehggdh, as i said i have time, and the need to fix this, which way would you suggest i should go? launchpad?16:24
hggdhdacone: certainly opening a bug on LP seems a good option. Additionally, you may want to find who is upstream for dvgrab, and search there16:25
daconehggdh dvgrab seems to be part of the kinodv.org, i'll try LP first.16:26
hggdhdacone: opening a bug on LP will (hopefully) indicate to some other sufferer that this has been seen16:27
hggdhbut checking upstream will probably get you a faster response16:27
daconehggdh, you mean i should try to find the package maintainer for dvgrab@ubuntu16:28
hggdhthis might help, yes -- it will be a MOTU.16:28
