| Fallenou | Feb 6 01:38:21 ubuntu kernel: [ 500.847290] ubiquity[12571]: segfault at 7f64b29e3840 ip 00007f64c63d1d64 sp 00007fff67769140 error 4 in libglib-2.0.s o.0.2302.0[7f64c6392000+c9000] | 00:48 |
| cjwatson | if ubiquity segfaults then it is a bug in some other piece of software | 00:51 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity is pure-python | 00:52 |
| Fallenou | i found the bug in launchpad | 00:54 |
| Fallenou | i'm subscribing to it and i'm posting my logs | 00:54 |
| Fallenou | it seems to only affect me and 2 other people | 00:54 |
| Fallenou | or maybe there are duplicates of this bug | 00:54 |
| cjwatson | argh | 00:55 |
| cjwatson | don't do that | 00:55 |
| cjwatson | do not *ever* piggyback on somebody else's crash bug | 00:55 |
| cjwatson | it's a bug that Launchpad semi-encourages you to do that | 00:55 |
| Fallenou | oops | 00:56 |
| Fallenou | what do you mean by piggyback ? | 00:56 |
| cjwatson | 00:54 <Fallenou> i'm subscribing to it and i'm posting my logs | 00:56 |
| Fallenou | what should i do ? | 00:56 |
| cjwatson | the result of people doing this is that developers give up on that bug because it is now composed of several people's unrelated problems | 00:57 |
| cjwatson | file a new bug | 00:57 |
| Fallenou | ok | 00:57 |
| Fallenou | and i mark it as a duplicate ? | 00:57 |
| cjwatson | no, why would you do that? | 00:57 |
| cjwatson | that is for a developer to determine | 00:57 |
| Fallenou | because it's the same bug | 00:57 |
| cjwatson | it is not in general possible for a user to determine that | 00:57 |
| cjwatson | you have the same symptoms | 00:57 |
| cjwatson | what steps have you taken to prove that it is the same cause? | 00:58 |
| Fallenou | i have exactly the same symptoms, same log message, and a segfault from glibc | 00:58 |
| Fallenou | and it's in the same software (ubiquity) | 00:58 |
| cjwatson | in other words, you havenm't proven anything :) | 00:58 |
| cjwatson | a segfault can occur for all kinds of reasons | 00:58 |
| cjwatson | and the log message says little more than that it's a segfault somewhere in a large library | 00:58 |
| Fallenou | yes sure but you must agree that here the probability that it's the same bug are really high | 00:59 |
| cjwatson | no, I mustn't | 00:59 |
| cjwatson | if you think it's the same bug, just don't file it | 00:59 |
| cjwatson | that's fine, I don't really mind. but I do mind when people jump into an existing bug, because that does actually cause problems, even when they're well-intentioned | 00:59 |
| Fallenou | ok sorry | 01:00 |
| CIA-6 | ubiquity: evand * r3725 plugins-conversion/ (9 files in 5 dirs): Initial plugin conversion work on partman and summary. | 01:00 |
| Fallenou | i posted my comment, i read you on irc too late, and i don't think i can remove my comment | 01:00 |
| cjwatson | I'm not saying you're deliberately causing a problem here, but I have years of experience in disentangling bugs full of multiple people who think they have the same bug and turn out to be wrong, and I want to discourage people from doing this | 01:00 |
| Fallenou | yes i fully understand your concern | 01:00 |
| Fallenou | i'm sorry | 01:01 |
| cjwatson | ok | 01:01 |
| Fallenou | i'm gonna fill a new bug | 01:01 |
| Fallenou | and if some developper thinks it's related, he's gonna mark it as duplicate | 01:01 |
| cjwatson | one of these days I'll convince the Launchpad people to encourage this behaviour too. :) | 01:02 |
| StevenK | Haha, good luck | 01:03 |
| CIA-6 | ubiquity: evand * r3726 plugins-conversion/ubiquity/ (components/ubi-usersetup.py frontend/gtk_ui.py): | 01:13 |
| CIA-6 | ubiquity: * Properly call hostname_error. | 01:13 |
| CIA-6 | ubiquity: * Remove dead process_identification code from gtk_ui. | 01:13 |
| Fallenou | launchpad sucks so hard | 01:15 |
| Fallenou | it failed to register the new bug | 01:15 |
| Fallenou | ok it failed again ... | 01:19 |

| Sayge | I have been having an issue with the 64 bit install that I do not with the 32 bit staller, was wondering if this is the place to go to bounce around ideas of what the issue could be. | 20:21 |
