montelthank you BUGabundo crimsun01:03
atrusokay, i've switched to using packages. apport is collecting reports in /var/crash, but no GUI/dialog appears in response to a crash. Is there something that's supposed to be running in my session to catch these?01:10
hggdhatrus: what is your Ubuntu version?01:17
atruskarmic+updates+proposed, apport and apport-gtk are 1.9.3-0ubuntu4.2,01:18
hggdhatrus: check /etc/default/apport -- enabled should be set to 101:19
atrushggdh: yep, that's done, and crashes are successfully being collected in /var/crash01:19
hggdhok. Did you reboot after changing /etc/default/apport?01:20
atrusno, but i did 'sudo stop apport' and 'sudo start apport'01:20
hggdhgood.01:20
hggdhSo apport should be fully up. I wonder if the crashes you have are actual Ubuntu package crashes01:21
atruson a crash, apport runs, consuming CPU for a while01:21
atrusbut no dialog appears.01:21
atrusit happens i'm using a non-ubuntu package (from a ppa), but under karmic alphas, those prompted dialogs too.01:22
hggdhplease have a look at /var/log/apport.log -- it will state what apport has done01:22
atruscalled for pid X, executable: X (command line: X), wrote report to /var/crash/.....01:22
atrusnothing further.01:22
hggdhweird.01:23
hggdhtry running it by hand: /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk -c /var/crash/whatever01:24
hggdhof course, replace whatever by one of the crash reports01:24
atrusthat causes the "Collecting problem information" dialog to appear for the first time in a few months :)01:25
hggdhit should have been automagic01:25
atrusthat's good. now i just need to figure out why that didn't get called.01:25
hggdhI do not have a karmic machine handy to check on it, unfortunately01:26

xteejx:)15:20
hggdhxteejx: not really. I do not know the package, so I cannot say much about it. But -- if reversing the order of two lines in the system conf allows user conf to be effective, then this is a bug either way15:21

nigel_nbyou need to correct the package first and then add upstream in that case15:32
xteejxhehe, just added another project as affected, didn't realise you HAD to choose one, because it says "if you don't know leave it blank", which then doesn't allow you to add a watch15:32

* micahg thinks translation bugs should be top priority16:03
qenseyep16:03
micahgfor this meeting at least ;)16:04
qensedpm, maybe you could start with a quick explanation of the way Translations uses LP now, for those who haven't followed the maillist discussion?16:04
dpmqense, sure16:04
dpmhere is some background (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/HandlingBugs). Basically, the way the translations team handles bugs is:16:06
dpmwe've got a LP project16:06
dpmcalled ubuntu-translations16:06
dpmthe idea is to report all translations-related bugs there16:06
dpmthe UTC (ubuntu-translations-coordinators) is set as the project driver16:07
micahgdpm: what about the tasks for the ubuntu package/16:07
dpmand takes care of triaging and fixing16:07
micahgshould they be marked as triaged pending action from the translators team?16:07
mranddpm: reported ubuntu-translations even if the translation for that app is handled upstream?16:07
pedro_micahg, that's what i've been doing so far16:08
micahgpedro_: me too, but I want to verify if that's the process we want to keep16:09
pedro_btw the ubuntu-translators team is *pretty* fast to solve issues there16:09
dpmmicahg, it sounds good to me if it sounds good to the bugsquad16:09
dpm:)16:09
qenseCurrently we have mostly two tasks: one for the source pacakge -- often filed by a user via the ubuntu LP project -- and one for the ubuntu-translations project. Most bugs are handled pretty fast by teh translators. However, they can't use all statuses for the source package task.16:09
dpmthe problem we had on the last hugday was that the bugsquad could not set "our" bugs as confirmed16:10
dpmand what qsense is pointing out ^16:10
qenseOn top of that the two different tasks cause extra work and mail noise.16:10
micahghmm, confirmed should be allowed on any project that's public16:10
micahgtriaged can't be set16:11
hggdhthe only thing I am not sure about (not even if it is needed) is that -- by assigning the bug to ubuntu-translators we lose track of the real affected package16:11
micahghggdh: that's why we mark the ubuntu task as triaged16:11
dpmmicahg, sorry for the confusion. yeah, triaged16:11
qenseThe Translators did say to prefer a separate ubuntu-translations project so they can keep track of all translation bugs.16:11
qensehggdg: there are two tasks iirc16:11
hggdhoh16:11
* hggdh is slow as usual16:11
hggdhand I beg all pardon16:12
dpmI agree that the extra bug task is a downside, but is it that much of a problem given the number of translation bugs?16:12
qensepardon granted16:12
micahgdpm: one task isn't much of a problem16:13
micahgit's the same as upstreaming16:13
qenseIt is not much of a problem to me, but I could imagine that when you handle a lot of bugs it could cause you extra time. What seems to be the biggest problem here is the lack of permissions for both teams involved.16:13
dpmmrand, if the translation is handled upstream, we tend to point the reporters to upstream and close the ubuntu-translations task as invalid16:13
adiroibanI assume the permissions could be fixed16:13
micahgqense: I don't think that we should have triage permissions for the translators team16:13
mranddpm: cool.  thanks.16:14
dpmok, so we seem to agree that additional tasks in this particular case is not much of an issue16:14
dpmand that the issue is permissions16:14
micahgthe whole point of triage permissions is to verify that a real issue exists16:14
micahgthe translators team would know best where that effort should be16:14
qenseNow there are two people with permissions necessary to properly mark one translation bug.16:15
micahghence, we can confim the issue, and if they can fix it mark triaged and take the appropriate action16:15
micahgqense: adding translators team to bug control might be an option16:15
qenseSo first 'Confirmed', then a ubuntu-translations tasks and when they're done a 'Triaged' to the ubuntu task16:16
qense?16:16
micahgbut I don't think it makes sense the other way16:16
adiroibanor add bug control to ubuntu-translations project :)16:16
thekornor leave it as it is right now ;)16:16
adiroiban:)16:16
qensebtw, there is not explanation for this type of bug on Bugs/HowToTriage, shall I add one after this meeting?16:17
dpmqense, sounds great to me :)16:17
micahgqense: I thought that was the point of the meeting agenda item, to nail down the specifics16:17
qensebecause that's (part of) the main problem, I feel, the process isn't/wasn't well-known by the traigers.16:17
qenseyes, the specifics16:18
qenseis there a specific translators team for bug handling?16:18
dpmqense, we can then even remove the HandlingBugs page on the Translations wiki and point folks to the Bugs/HowToTriage one16:18
micahghmm,maybe it does make sense to have bug control set triaged on the translators bugs16:18
dpmqense, ubuntu-translations-coordinators16:18
micahgtriaged in ubuntu mean ready for dev to look at16:18
qensedpm: I wouldn't remvoe that page completely, but instead point to it from the HowTotTiage page16:19
dpmqense, ok, sounds good16:19
qensethe translators are the devs here, so technically they shouldn't have to do anything with the Ubuntu task16:19
micahgqense: ok, so maybe my initial proposal was wrong...16:20
qensehowever, that would be a bit inefficient, so maybe adding the translators team to the bugcontrol, or a bug handling subset of the translators team, would be indeed the best solution16:20
hggdhI agree16:20
micahgqense: I think adiroiban had the better proposal16:20
dpmI also think adding bug control to ubuntu-translations might be a good idea16:21
micahgthen the triager in Ubuntu can set the translations task as triaged which tells them they need to look at it16:21
qenseThat would make sense. people join the bugsquad to triage bugs and they join the translation team to translate, not to triage other bugs16:21
qenseMaybe we could have some kind of Adopt-a(n)-Upstream/Package subgroup later on that focuses on translation bugs?16:21
micahgdpm +116:21
micahgqense: I think that will divide our efforts further16:22
qenseok, it was just something that came up in my mind16:22
micahgqense: maybe one day when we have better coverage16:23
qenseso we agree that the Ubuntu Bug Control team shouold get bug permissions for the ubuntu-translations project?16:23

micahgfeels weird having a meeting w/out bdmurray16:24

dpmif no one else volunteers, I can take care of the minutes16:26
dpmre: the adopt-apackage/upstream proposal, I think for now what we can do is to simply use the ubuntu-translations project as a target for regular hugdays like the one some weeks ago16:27
qenseokay, that means this topic is done now?16:28
dpmjust one sec16:28
dpmthe translations team is still learning on bug triaging, etc and I've got one quick question:16:29
dpmWe discussed the use of tags for translation bugs in the past16:29
dpmWe've made a list here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/HandlingBugs#Tagging16:29
dpmDo you guys havve got any feedback, tips, advice on bug tagging?16:29
qensexteejx: it could have to do with the transition to the new proprietary nvidia drivers packaging layout, in that case users upgrading in a later stage wouldn't suffer from this bug and Invalid would be the right state.16:30
xteejxqense: Ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up :)16:31
hggdhtagging is still very much ad hoc. It might help for you to prefix the translation tags with -- say -- 'tr', or 'trans' -- so that there will be less chance of conflicts16:32
qensedpm: are you aware of the difference between official and unofficial tags? I'm not sure how tags behave when the bug has tasks for multiple projects, though/16:32
dpmqense, I've heard about them, but I'm not too clear on the distiction right now16:32
qenseOfficial tasks get listed on the bugs overview page16:33
dpmalthough in the past there has been discussions on making the i18n or l10n tags official to give more relevance to translations-related bugs16:33
qenseYou could use tags to help the different i10n teams16:34
hggdhsome tags are used "everywhere" -- like the regression* ones; these are the official ones. Others are specific to a project/usage, and completely out of control16:34
dpmhow can we "apply" for translation-related tags to be made official for the ubuntu project?16:35
dpm(when relevant)16:35
qensenot sure, bug control administrators maybe?16:36
dpmI'll look into it, then, thanks16:36
hggdhpretty much by adding your tags to the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags page (since you are dealing with bugs also)16:37
dpmthanks a lot for the advice and the feedback16:37
hggdhand sending out an email to bugsquad/control explaining why you are adding them there16:37
dpmok, thanks16:38
dpmotherwise, I think that's all from my part on translations, unless adiroiban or ArneGoetje have something else to add16:38
micahghggdh: does the ubuntu bug project admin have to mark them in LP in any wya?16:38
hggdhmicahg: to my knowledge, no -- tags are still ad hoc. But I do not know the internals of LP/Malone16:39
qensehggdh: iirc there is a list of official tags on bugs.launchpad.net/{project}16:40
qensewas that a split?16:42
=== Pici` is now known as Pici
xteejxyeah16:43
hggdhqense: I am not sure these are real official tags, or tags found in bugs. For example, Evolution lists a 'junk' tag...16:44
qensehggdh: found it! http://blog.launchpad.net/cool-new-stuff/official-bug-tags16:45
hggdhcool, qense, thank you16:46
dpmah, great, thanks16:46
qenseone question: should people open a ubuntu-translations task for all translation bugs, or only after they've been marked as triaged?16:48
qenseI'd go for right away since the u-trans project was mostly meant for keeping track of all translation bgs, what would you say?16:49
dpmqense, yes, I think so. Furthermore, translation bugs are easily identifyable. What I mean is that when you spot one it is generally quite obvious that it is a translations-related bug16:50
dpmso it makes sense to file it against u-t straight away16:50
qenseyes16:51
qenseIt's now almost 17.00 UTC. What shall we do with the points that weren't discussed. Micahg, you added most of them, what do you think?16:57
micahgheh, wait till next month :)16:57
micahgtranslations was the big ting16:57
micahgthing16:57
dpmyeah, the meeting was quite productive from my pov anyway16:57
dpmvery16:57
qensegood16:58
micahgso, dpm if you can add ubuntu-bugcontrol as a member of the translations-coordinators team, that allow us to set the triaged status16:58
qensedpm, if you or someone else from your team has got any questions about the bug triaging process, please feel free to mail the bugsquad maillist or come to this IRC channel16:58
micahgdpm: maybe setting us as bug supervisor would be enough?  idk if that would remove your teams abilities though16:59
qenseYou could make a separate Ubuntu Translations Bug Supervisor team and make both teams a member of it,16:59
qenseThat way you wouldn't give away permissions to both teams17:00
micahgthat works too17:00
dpmmicahg, I'll have to look into that, since adding bugcontrol to the team might not be an option (otherwise everyone can modify LP translation templates) - qsense's suggestion seems like the best option to me17:00
micahgdpm: k17:01
hggdhdpm: the translation team -- is it a restricted tem?17:01
hggdhteam17:01
micahgyep17:01
hggdhso why not just add it to bug-control?17:01
* micahg checked earlier17:01
micahghggdh: then we can't set triaged in their projetc17:01
dpmhggdh, yes, it's actually the ubuntu-translations-coordinators team and it's restricted17:01
qenseI don't think it would be wise to make bugcontrol a member of translations since they are both very different teams and have different applications procedures17:01
xteejxWhy not just make a new team with both in, and set both as able to change status, i.e. same as Bug Control?17:02
hggdhyes, I agree, but the other way should work. And if we cannot set their task to triaged, not a problem17:02
micahgyep, then that new team can be made bug supervisor for the translations project17:02
dpmxteejx, I think that was qense's proposal17:02
xteejxoops :)17:02
micahghggdh: that's what most of the discussion was about ;)17:03
qenseI've got to go now, but I'll read the backlog17:03
hggdhyes. But we are complicating the issue, with Yet One More Team (TM)17:03
qensethat team is just a technical trick17:03
dpmexactly17:03
qenseafk!17:03
dpmthanks qense, bye!17:03
hggdheppuir si mueve17:03
micahghggdh: it's a set it and forget it team17:03
thekornqense, thanks for running this meeting17:03
hggdhOK17:04
dpmI think I'll go ahead with the creation of the team and I'll add 'bugcontrol' and 'ubuntu-translations-coordinators' to it.17:04
micahgdpm: ubuntu-bugcontrol17:05
dpmok, 'ubuntu-bugcontrol' and 'ubuntu-translations-coordinators'17:05
dpmmicahg, what's the next step, then, set the new team as "Bug Supervisor" for the 'ubuntu-translations' project?17:07
micahgdpm: yep17:08
dpmthanks, any suggestions for the name of the new team? Otherwise I'll go with 'ubuntu-translations-bugsupervisors'17:09
hggdhdpm, this is descriptive, +117:09
dpmcool, thanks17:10
micahgdpm: did you make the minutes page yet?17:19
xteejxIs the meeting over now then I assume?17:19
* micahg saw the initial wiki commit17:19
micahgxteejx: yes17:19
dpmmicahg, hggdh ok, done -> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-translations-bugsupervisors/ . I'm composing the minutes just now.17:19

micahgdpm: fixed17:21
dpmpedro_, can you accept the invitation for ubuntu bug control to join ubuntu-translations-bugsupervisors? I'll add you and bdmurray as admins17:21
xteejxbug 382521, can someone change status on this please (I reported it therefore can't). Also, qemulator appears to be unmaintained, there have been no updates on the package despite the fact that this appears fixed upstream17:23

micahgxteejx: what kind of status change?17:24
micahgxteejx: you can mark your own bug confirmed if there's a duplicate bug17:25
xteejxoh i didn't realise hehe, there is another affected user, but no comment17:25
xteejxoops no theres not17:25
xteejxit is VERY easily reproducible though, even in Lucid17:26
micahgxteejx: you have 2 other bugs duped to that17:26
xteejxmicahg: lol sorry not with it today17:26
=== maxb_ is now known as maxb
xteejxWould this bug be suitable for upgrade to Triaged? I think there's more than enough info17:29
qensexteejx: is there an upstream to report it to?17:31
xteejxThere *is* an upstream, but doesn't appear to be any bug reporting facility, its maintained by Ubuntu Dev Team, and the svn version has been updated17:32
qensedpm: just curious, will the 'actions' for the different kind of bugs at Translations/KnowledgeBase/HandlingBugs be the addition of tags to the bug reports?17:36
qensedpm: furthermore I was also wondering if you new the Bugs/Responses (stock replies), Bugs/Status and Bugs/Importance wiki pages. Maybe it would be worth linking to them in the Translations KB, although I'm not sure if you can use the status and importance definitions of bug control without adapting them (slightly).17:38
dpmqense, not specifically, I was just trying to add the steps involved in dealing with each type of translation bug. Some of the steps will involve adding a tag, altough I haven't come to document that yet. We wanted to have some more feedback on the usage of tags, which we've now had. Yes, I'll link Bugs/Status and Bugs/Importance, that's a good point as well17:40
qensedpm: OK. Another suggestion: for the ubuntu project we have the ubuntu-bugs team, which has the same function as ubuntu-translations-bugsupervisors , which is subscribe to all bug mail with its contact address (a maillist). People or bots that are interested in following all bug mail can subscribe to that maillist and will get spammed.17:41
qensedo you think that would be of any use for the translation project?17:41
micahgqense: we don't want the bug mail, we want the privd17:42
micahgprivs17:42
micahgbbiab17:42
qensemicahg: true, but the privileges team for the ubuntu project -- ubuntu-bugs -- also gets all bugmail17:43
qenseit is sent to its contact address -- the ubuntu-bugs maillist -- and not to its members17:43
qensesubscribing to the maillist is optional17:43
qensedpm: LP integration is also a task for the ubuntu-translations project?17:44
xteejxCan I use karmic PPA packages in Ludic?17:45
xteejx*lucid17:45
qensexteejx: you could fill karmic in as the distribution for those specific PPAs in your sources.list entries, and they might work, but they also might not17:46
dpmqense, it is a tag https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bugs?field.tag=needs-lp-integration for those apps which don't use the lp-integration lib, and thus are not showing the "Translate this application..." link (or the "Report a bug") one17:46
qensedpm: so bugs related to that should also get an ubuntu-translations task?17:46
xteejxso edit /etc/sources.list to include the karmic versions and fingers crossed?17:46
xteejxqense: ^17:46
qensexteejx: that's the solution, yes17:47
xteejxqense: didn't know that would work, thanks (#ubuntu was busy btw)17:47
qensepackages like themes often work flawlessly, but more system critical applications can cause a mess17:47
dpmqense, that's what we've been doing so far. The idea is to group these bugs, since the patches to implement that functionality should be quite similar and could probably be ported from one app to the other17:48
xteejxI see17:48
qensedpm: ok, I will add that as well to the documentation then17:48
dpmgreat, thanks qense17:50
qenseyw17:51
dpmqense, re: the suggestion on using the ubuntu-bugs team for translations, I'm not quite sure I follow? In which way do you think it could be useful for translations bugs?17:54
qenseI wouldn't know, maybe some people would like to get all bug mail for ubuntu-translations?17:54
dpmqense, I'm not sure, they can already do that (and we encourage it) with https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+subscribe17:55
qensewell, it was just something that came up in my mind. If it's not useful then forget about it. ;)17:56
qensedpm: quick question, what is the name of the standard used for the language code in ubuntu-l10n-ll?17:56
dpmqense, iso 63917:57
qensedpm: thanks17:58
dpmno worries, here's the list of codes: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php17:58
dpmfor the naming of Ubuntu Translations teams we use 2-letter codes or 3-letter ones if the former are not available17:59
dpmThere is some more info there https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam17:59
qenseISO 639-3 ?17:59
qenseISO 639-2 is for less languages iirc, ISO 639-3 aims to cover all natural languages18:00
dpmwe use the 639-1 (2-letter) code, if not available, then 639-2 (3-letter). Generally that covers it18:01
qenseah, the wiki page also names SO 639-318:01
dpm639-3 is used if we do not find the language in 639-218:01
qenseok18:01
qensedpm: section added to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Translation_Bugs_and_Launchpad_integration18:06
dpmqense, looks great - one note, I'm not sure we should so prominently mention Launchpad Integration, since it is just another type of bug related to translations, and perhaps not ass important as others. I think removing it from that section would make it simpler and less prone to confuse triagers18:09
qenseBut it is something you wouldn't naturally associate with translation.18:09
dpmyes, that's true, but I'm not sure I'd like to make it as prominent on the HowToTriage page, since it is described in more detail in Translations/HandlingBugs. Let me think about it... Otherwise, are there any other already established approaches for handling the launchpad integration library (since it basically affects translations, bugs and documentation)?18:14

qensexteejx: it sounds like a feature request to me, so that would be wishlist. iirc it's already going to be supported in empathy 2.30, you'd have to check its roadmap to be sure though19:42
xteejxqense: Thanks. Just checked the roadmap for empathy, and its in GNOME bug 573407, but on that it says RESOLVED, FIXED, but there are no parts of the convo which say about the /list command20:13

qenseWell, I'd say link the bug to the report you've found on LP (if there is no other report on LP),generalise the LP report to include IRC commands in general and ask upstream for the /list command.20:14
qense /list is in the bug description though20:14
xteejxIt's in the LP bug because I filed it20:15
qenseIt was also mentioned in the GNOME bug report's description.20:16
xteejxI realise that :) What I mean is none of the patch attachments *actually* fix /list .. they only cover topic, join, query, msg and help20:16
xteejxI think they've missed that one or couldn't implement it20:17
qenseI'd leave a comment asking for /list20:17
kamusinwhat or who is called this function that runs a postinstallation script when you are using synaptic? for example when you are installing a package and then finished an window called 'update information' appears that need run 'something' to finish all this process20:18
xteejxI didn't know I could do that hehe20:18
kamusinis it clear?20:18
qensexteejx: you do need a GNOME Bugzilla account, but everyone can comment on bug reports, yes20:19
qensekamusin: dpkg calls scripts included in the package20:19
