bcurtiswx_mac_v: are you present?16:16
mac_vbcurtiswx: oh , no....  what have i done? ;)16:16
* mac_v hides 16:17
bcurtiswx_mac_v: lol, nothing bad.  I'm wondering what the bug report is wishlisting in bug #48807316:17
ubot4Launchpad bug 488073 in empathy "Empathy needs "white noise" for VoIP pauses" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48807316:17
bcurtiswx_im confused16:18
mac_vyeah.. i didnt understand that one either... i was hoping some else understood it ;)16:18
bcurtiswx_lol, well at least i know I'm not alone... i wonder why it's papercut then16:18
mac_vbcurtiswx: there where a lot of bugs reported in papercuts but with no package... so right now i'm on a rampage to just assign package... hence was worried if i did something wrong ;p16:19
bcurtiswx_but this vitaly person who created the bug in papercuts.. i don't see the connection between then and the papercuts team16:20
bcurtiswx_them*16:20
bcurtiswx_not a member of the papercuts team16:20
mac_vbcurtiswx_: hmm? i didnt understand... what connection?16:20
mac_vbcurtiswx_: yeah , he is not a member16:21
bcurtiswx_mac_v, why is this reported against hundred paper cuts by vitaly.. when i don't see vitaly as a team member of hundred paper cuts16:21
bcurtiswx_vitaly has a pretty blank launchpad page16:21
mac_vbcurtiswx_: anyone can report bugs in papercuts , they dont have to be members16:21
mac_vthere are so many new users who just report them in papercuts16:22
bcurtiswx_mac_v, hmm.. ok.. i thought that was only something that gets assigned when a team member thinks its worth of a papercut16:22
bcurtiswx_worthy*16:22
mac_vbcurtiswx_: works that way too , but we assign/assigned very few such bugs16:23
mac_vmost of them are just reported by others16:23
bcurtiswx_ok, thanks for helping my confusion then :D16:23
bcurtiswx_i'll get the attention of that bug reporter and have them explain the bug better16:24
mac_vgreat :)16:24
cdavisI want to join the BugSquad. Is requesting a mentor how you join or do you join and then seek mentorship?16:51

FFEMTcJIs anyone around? I have a question17:05
FFEMTcJLooks like there are tons of bugs that are being assigned to papercuts.. is there  a specific protocol to follow with those?17:06
Elbruscdavis: you don't need a mentor.17:10
Elbrussee webpage in topic17:10
Elbrussorry, web page mentions asking for a mentor..17:11
FFEMTcJbug 477324 wishlist please17:14
ubot4Launchpad bug 477324 in ubuntu "Fix sort order in Group Settings. " [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/47732417:14
cdavisElbrus: yes, the webpage makes it seem like there are three things you need to do to join, having a mentor being the third thing?17:16
ElbrusI hadn't heard of that before17:16
Elbrusjust make sure that you ask about things that you are not sure about17:17
cdavisOK17:17
yofelFFEMTcJ: about bug 477324, the bug description is at least missing the release that's being used. (I guess it's ubuntu karmic). Also the package for that bug would be gnome-system-tools and should be upstreamed to gnome IMO.17:26
ubot4Launchpad bug 477324 in ubuntu "Fix sort order in Group Settings. " [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/47732417:26
FFEMTcJyofel: so would it be invalid for papercuts?17:31
yofelFFEMTcJ: that's something I don't know, sry17:32
yofelIMHO it would be nice if there was a 'Sort by ...' box there17:33
yofelright now the entries are sorted by GID which isn't exactly wrong17:33
FFEMTcJGotcha.. I assume (which I know is never good) that it was just designed to be the same as the /etc/group file17:33
yofelwell, the entries in /etc/group are sorted by GID too, so it's the same in the end17:37

CarlFKwondering what package to bug - guessing kernel:19:45
CarlFKbug is: gribouille in #ubuntu says "removed grub/grub..  when I update my kernel, dpkg complains because it can't find update-grub"19:45
CarlFKhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image  does not depend on update-grub19:45
CarlFKguessing a script in linux-image should check exist update-grub ?  (that is beyond bug and into fix, but seems like a reasonable thing to include)19:46
yofelCarlFK: it has grub / grub-pc as a recommends. That's ok IMO19:54
yofelCarlFK: does dpkg give a warning or fail?19:55
CarlFKyofel: "gribouille: I removed grub because it didn't work for me, and now, when I update my kernel, dpkg complains because it can't find update-grub"19:56
yofelCarlFK: well, and what does he use now? lilo?19:57
yofelif lilo is installed and it still wants to run update-grub then that would be a bug /me thinks19:57
CarlFKgood q - I am poking for info, but he is kinda cranky :)19:57
CarlFK(01:19:00 PM) gribouille: CarlFK, why do you ask such newbie questions ?19:58
yofel...19:59
dgrHi. Looking for some bug reporting advice. Been troubleshooting an issue with the heartbeat package, which I've now resolved. I note that Debian has a bug filed for this but nothing under Ubuntu. Should I file a bug report for Ubuntu?20:12
CarlFKdgr: "If the bug has been reported in another bug tracker, you can           link to it in order to keep track of its status. Launchpad           synchronizes the status automatically for you.  "20:16
dgrAh, great :)20:16
CarlFKdgr: so report it, and put the deb bug in "The URL of this bug in the remote bug tracker."20:16
dgrThanks!20:17

bcurtiswx_geekles: done20:59
mac_vbcurtiswx_: is "incomplete" the right status for bugs we ask to be sent upstream?21:14
bcurtiswx_mac_v, yes.  I believe so21:26
mac_vbcurtiswx_: hmm , maybe it got changed... mostly, others usually just mark it confirmed  , and once it is submitted upstream they set it to triaged...21:28
mac_vbcurtiswx_: you need to mention it to others as well21:28
bcurtiswx_The reason I've always marked as incomplete is because we've requested something in the bug report and It's incomplete until they do it21:29
mac_vah ok21:50

cdavisI am looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/489721 and have a question.
