LimCoreI had crashed krusader in around 10 different ways over the years... I was wondering, is Ubuntu perhaps not following correct release sheduel of Krusader - like - releasing not stable versions from upstream? or what is going on here01:30
LimCore(krusader is a super cool, but not so stable, twin panel GUI file manager)01:30
LimCoreor is just the application apparently not tested too much, so only way to fix it would be to patch it?01:34

SoftwareExplorerI've just reported a bug with gcalctool that is in ubuntu 10.04. Should I click the Also affects distribution and set it to ubuntu, or is that for the current (karmic) version of ubuntu?18:30
yofelSoftwareExplorer: bug number?18:31
yofeldo you mean bug 486359?18:32
ubot4Launchpad bug 486359 in gcalctool "gcalctool fails to resize down when a mode that requires less space is selected" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48635918:32
SoftwareExploreryep, I was listening to the radio and got distracted, sorry18:33
yofelok, just confirmed it here18:34
yofelthe bug report looks fine18:34
yofelI'll set it to confirmed18:34
SoftwareExplorerOk thanks. So is the "Also affects distribution" for some special use?18:36
yofelSoftwareExplorer: bug reported to the gnome developers18:46
SoftwareExplorerWow, that was quick, thanks. I wasn't sure if you could see what I was saying (this is my first time using empathy)18:47
yofelSoftwareExplorer: the 'affects distribution' is usually used if the bug also affacts another application or another OS (like Debian)18:47
SoftwareExplorerbut ubuntu is kind of an exception, then? or is the exception what ever distro is reported by apport?18:48
yofelno, apport always reports bugs in Ubuntu packages18:50
yofelthe bug package on to indicates this on launchpad with: gcalctool(Ubuntu)18:50
yofelbut you can add a distribution like debian if the bug is something they have to fix18:51
yofelbtw. can someone set bug 486359 to Triaged? Thanks.18:52

SoftwareExploreryofel:Thanks, I think all my questions are answered, and that was the fastest bug confirmation I have ever had. :)18:54
yofelyou're welcome18:54
yofeland priority low I would say18:58

FFEMTcJI have a question... all of these bugs that get reported x package failed to update or whatever.. most of them i am sure are not truely bugs.. how is a good way to sort out what is a bug, and what isnt?19:47
yofelare really most of them invalid? You'll at least have to inspect the dpkgtermlog for the exact error.19:54

FFEMTcJQuestion... https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gobby/+bug/3801  should that be marked as wontfix or something as it has been fixed and released as a different package name?22:01
ubot4Launchpad bug 3801 in gobby "Need undo" [Wishlist,Confirmed]22:01
FFEMTcJim also not sure what should be done with Bug #380244 - it sounds like the ops complaint is acting the way it is designed to, however the design seems to change in a later version22:05

SoftwareExplorerI found a bug in totem and reported it, but now I noticed Rhythmbox also has some of the same problems. Should I sit the package to something other than totem, or see if I can add rhythmbox? the problems see related23:08
SoftwareExplorer*seem23:09
yofelSoftwareExplorer: if you need help regarding a bug please always state the bug number as 'bug XXXX' please!23:09

SoftwareExplorerThat is pretty cool23:10
yofelSoftwareExplorer: it even supports several other bugtrackers, like gnome/kde/mozilla/freedesktop.org/... (like kde 193001)23:12
ubot4KDE bug 193001 in general "Package and repository lists should be sorted alphabetically" [Wishlist,New] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19300123:12
yofelnow back to your question...23:13
SoftwareExploreryofel: Are you typing, or do you need me to restate/clarify what I'm asking?23:14
yofelSoftwareExplorer: looking23:14
yofelbut I guess I don't know the answer. In case they both use gstreamer as a backend the bug might be there. But I'm a KDE guy and don't use totem or rhythmbox.23:15
yofelanyone else?23:16
SoftwareExplorerDo you think gstreamer would deal with sound visualizations? Because that's what is the problem in both23:17
yofeltbh, no idea23:17
SoftwareExploreryofel: That's ok, maybe someone else will know23:19

micahgSoftwareExplorer: what's going on?23:30
SoftwareExplorermicahg: Are you looking at the bug? It's bug 48641323:33
ubot4Launchpad bug 486413 in totem "An "internal data stream error" occurs when visualization is changed to or from monoscope while playing .spx file" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48641323:33
* micahg got in here right at the end of the discussion23:33
* SoftwareExplorer says that's fine23:33
yofelSoftwareExplorer: he didn't hear a word of what we  talked about ;)23:34
micahgso, what's the question?23:34
yofel<SoftwareExplorer> I found a bug in totem and reported it, but now I noticed Rhythmbox also has some of the same problems. Should I sit the package to something other than totem, or see if I can add rhythmbox? the problems seem related23:35
SoftwareExplorerThe problems seem related because it both with switching to a specific visualization with .spx files23:36
micahgwell, I guess the question is do they share the same virtualization engine?23:38
SoftwareExplorermicahg: they both fail switching to or from the monoscope visualization if that's what you mean23:39
micahgno, that's the symptom, the question is doe they share the same code for both?23:39
micahgand I don't have an answer for that unfortunately23:39
SoftwareExplorerWell, could I set it  "Affects" to multiple packages somehow?23:40
micahgyes, but you might want an answer to my question first23:41
micahgif it's a shared component failing, you'll want to move it to that package23:41
SoftwareExplorerSo how would I find out what that shared component is ?23:44
micahgthey are both based on gstreamer23:45
micahgbut I don't know if that's the visualization code23:45
jmarsdenSoftwareExplorer: Maybe compare the dependencies of the two packages using apt-cache showpkg and see whether anything it depends on looks like a visualization library?23:46
SoftwareExplorerjmarsden: Ok, I'll try that23:47
jmarsdenLike micahg, I don't know the answer either... :)23:47
micahgyou could try asking in #ubuntu-desktop also23:49
SoftwareExplorermicahg: Ok, I just did. We'll see what happens23:51
