micahg | hggdh: the question is that if an upstream project which uses LP already has a bug for something that's in ubuntu and there is a bug in ubuntu, what do we do? | 00:00 |

=== pitoow is now known as A_pitoow | ||
hggdh | ah | 00:10 |
hggdh | micahg: then yes, I think dupping against the upstream would make sense. But this would have to be always done -- it does not make sense to have different options | 00:11 |
micahg | hggdh: well, 1. should upstream see ubuntu bug spam? | 00:12 |
micahg | 2. can LP have an upstream task to itself? | 00:12 |
hggdh | two good questions, no easy answer. But (1) they already see bug spam (or, at least, can see if they so want); (2) it can, but does not make much sense, similar to the chicken and egg issue | 00:14 |
micahg | ok, so dupe and open an ubuntu task | 00:15 |
micahg | hggdh: right? | 00:16 |
hggdh | this is how I would go, yes. Of course, mileage can vary | 00:16 |
micahg | should I add a wiki page for it? | 00:16 |
hggdh | I asked the same thing during UDS, and did not get a firm position | 00:16 |
micahg | should I add it to the meeting agenda again for next month or ML it? | 00:17 |
hggdh | Micah... not sure it warrants a wiki by itself, but at least a comment, yes | 00:17 |
hggdh | ML it, if you do not mind | 00:17 |
micahg | that's the main question I had for last months meeting :) | 00:17 |
hggdh | this is a question I have had for a while ;-) | 00:18 |
micahg | hggdh: well, the wiki shows info about the upstream bug trackers | 00:18 |
micahg | and LP qualifies | 00:18 |
micahg | with it's own process | 00:18 |
micahg | *its | 00:18 |
hggdh | yes. The problem is we are under LP | 00:18 |
micahg | hggdh: -control or squad ML? | 00:18 |
hggdh | we can go ortodox, but does it really make sense? | 00:18 |
hggdh | -control | 00:18 |
hggdh | methinks | 00:19 |
micahg | hggdh: done | 00:25 |
hggdh | I will add my .02 cents to it | 00:27 |
hggdh | and yes, it is a .02 cents. Inflation adjustments | 00:28 |
SoftwareExplorer | I'm getting ready to report a Lucid bug. Every time an application starts to play a sound or stops playing a sound there is a pop/click. Does anyone know if I should report this as a bug for the pulseaudio package or the linux package? | 00:55 |

ali1234 | micahg: my firefox bug? | 17:42 |
micahg | ali1234: yep | 17:43 |
micahg | ali1234: I just added instructions to the bug | 17:44 |
ali1234 | don't i have to start some service to get apport dumps if i'm not running a beta? | 17:46 |
ali1234 | oh yeah you wrote it, sorry | 17:46 |
micahg | ali1234: it's in the bug | 17:46 |
ali1234 | ok, got it | 17:48 |
ali1234 | The problem cannot be reported because I have obsolete software | 17:49 |
micahg | ali1234: ok, so that ususally means you have to upgrade a few packages | 17:50 |
ali1234 | libgtk2.0-common - but I need this version installed because there are no dbgsyms for 2.1, and i need those for another bug | 17:50 |
ali1234 | ah whatever, i'll try to upgrade it | 17:50 |
micahg | ali1234: no, the upgrade is not to 2.1 | 17:50 |
ali1234 | yeah, you're right, the upgrade is ubuntu1 to ubuntu2 | 17:51 |
ali1234 | however, there's no debug symbols package for -ubuntu2 | 17:51 |
micahg | 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.1 | 17:51 |
micahg | ali1234: libgtk2.0-0-dbg | 17:52 |
ali1234 | yes, when i attempted to install that package the other day i got a message like "depends on =...-ubuntu1 but ...-ubuntu2 is going to be installed" | 17:53 |
ali1234 | so i had to force version to get it installed | 17:53 |
micahg | ali1234: apport retraces the crash server side so you don't need the dbg syms for it, if you need it for yourself, that's another story | 17:53 |
ali1234 | i needed the debug symbols because somebody asked me to install them in another bug | 17:54 |
micahg | ali1234: if you're done with that, you don't need them anymore | 17:54 |
ali1234 | i'm not | 17:55 |
micahg | ok | 17:55 |
ali1234 | until the bug is closed :) | 17:55 |
micahg | ali1234: do you know how to do a manual gdb backtrace? | 17:56 |
ali1234 | yes | 17:56 |
ali1234 | but i can already tell you what it's gonna say :) | 17:56 |
ali1234 | java plugin is causing the freeze | 17:57 |
micahg | ali1234: ok, that works too, can you reproduce the freeze and generate a full backtrace? | 17:57 |
ali1234 | ok retrying apport | 17:57 |
micahg | on a clean profile | 17:57 |
ali1234 | the complete report is 172mb | 17:58 |
ali1234 | i guess i should send the reduced one? | 17:58 |
micahg | wow...either way should be fine | 17:58 |
ali1234 | well i'll do reduced for now | 17:59 |
ali1234 | otherwise it wont upload before xmas | 17:59 |
ali1234 | wow there's loads of bug reports about this already, mine is probably a dupe of one of those... | 18:00 |
micahg | :) | 18:02 |
ali1234 | ok you want me to do a new bug still? i see you;ve already replied to a bunch of these | 18:02 |
micahg | ali1234: are any of them triaged? | 18:02 |
ali1234 | they're all in various states of incomplete, new, or invalid | 18:03 |
micahg | ali1234: that generally means that the problem was on the user side in those cases or they're not responding | 18:03 |
micahg | you can file a new one | 18:03 |
micahg | and we'll try to get to the bottom of it :) | 18:03 |
micahg | of apport finds the stacktrace is a dupe, it will mark the bug as such | 18:04 |

micahg | hggdh: that's actually really good to know :) | 18:10 |
ali1234 | nvm got it | 18:10 |
hggdh | ali1234: apport-retrace requires an output file | 18:11 |
ali1234 | yeah, i figured it out. how do i resubmit the resulting regenerated report? | 18:12 |
hggdh | ali1234: just upload the GDB output to the bug, micahg will follow up | 18:12 |

hggdh | ali1234: weird, this is a bug on itself | 18:23 |
ali1234 | yep | 18:23 |
ali1234 | same bug i ran into the other day with libgtk | 18:23 |
hggdh | this happened of old on apport (it would force-install wrong versins), but it was corrected | 18:24 |
hggdh | so it is a regression :-( | 18:24 |
ali1234 | this happened the other day when i tried to install the libgtk symbols in synaptic | 18:24 |
ali1234 | basically afaict the ddebs repository is lagging behind the main repo by a few versions | 18:25 |
ali1234 | so the only way to make it work is to install older versions of everything | 18:25 |
hggdh | well, there are two different issues here | 18:25 |
hggdh | (1) ddebs lagging behind official versions: expected, this happens | 18:25 |
hggdh | (2) force-install of *wrong* dbgsym versions: this should *NOT* happen | 18:26 |
ali1234 | the thing about (1) is, apport won't submit a report unless you have the newest version of everything, but without the ddebs, it can't submit a useful report | 18:26 |
hggdh | I agree, almost a catch-22. But this is contention on finite resources -- the build machines --, and not much we can do on it | 18:27 |

ali1234 | i stopped it, remember? | 21:00 |
micahg | ali1234: sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor start | 21:00 |
ali1234 | that doesn't seem to work, now *all* my running processes are "unconfined" except the ones that i started after i restarted apparmor | 21:00 |
micahg | oh, yeah, I guess that's a problem | 21:01 |
ali1234 | right, apparmor profile disabled, ff works properly now | 21:09 |
micahg | ali1234: :) | 21:12 |
* micahg forgot how much trouble that profile can cause | 21:14 | |
micahg | on the next ff3.6 update, I'll try to run ff with it enabled so that I can try to find the bugs in advance | 21:15 |
micahg | ali1234: BTW, I filed bug #500215 about apparmor not warning people when disabling it entirely | 21:21 |
ubot4 | Launchpad bug 500215 in apparmor "apparmor should warn users before allowing itself to be disabled/stopped" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/500215 | 21:21 |
ali1234 | micahg: yeah i saw it when logging in again :) | 21:24 |
ali1234 | also, is the bug widely known about? i have a feeling a lot of people might be affected by it and no idea what's going on... | 21:25 |
ali1234 | well, anyone who upgraded on day 1 basically | 21:25 |
micahg | ali1234: it shouldn't be affecting too many people | 21:25 |
* micahg needs to get an ubuntu blog... | 21:26 | |
micahg | ali1234: it was fixed a month before release... | 21:26 |
ali1234 | hmm..... well, must have regressed at some point then | 21:27 |
ali1234 | although i don't know how | 21:27 |
ali1234 | my other machine that i was using to test alphas (starting with a fresh install) was not affected, only the one i upgraded from jaunty | 21:28 |
micahg | ali1234: do you still have your upgrade logs? | 21:31 |
ali1234 | i didn't even know they existed | 21:31 |
ali1234 | where would i find them? | 21:31 |
micahg | /var/log/dist-upgrade/ | 21:32 |
ali1234 | 20091029-0819 - so yeah | 21:32 |
micahg | ok, so I might ask you for them later, I need to talk with someone about the issue | 21:33 |
ali1234 | no problem | 21:34 |
