| Tiibiidii | hi... i tried to reproduce a bug i reported this last june... but i'm unsure about one thing | 00:14 |
| Tiibiidii | whoever is using a laptop: does you screen dims when inactive? (before going totally black/starting the screensaver i mean) | 00:14 |
| hggdh | Tiibiidii: not mine (Lucid) | 00:15 |
| Tiibiidii | ok... | 00:15 |
| Tiibiidii | hggdh, do you remember if back in karmic it was still working? | 00:15 |
| hggdh | Tiibiidii: I *think* it was | 00:16 |
| hggdh | but not sure | 00:16 |
| Anzenketh | Thanks hggdh. | 00:16 |
| Tiibiidii | due to an annoying bug i disabled the dimming... but to reproduce this very bug i need it enable... but it seems that now it isn't possibile at all | 00:16 |
| Tiibiidii | ok | 00:16 |
| hggdh | Tiibiidii: I still see the option to dim on 10.4 | 00:17 |
| Tiibiidii | and by enabling it... does it work? (i know... it's rather boring to stand still waiting for the screen to dim) | 00:17 |
| Tiibiidii | (thank you however) | 00:17 |
| hggdh | Tiibiidii: will try | 00:17 |
| Anzenketh | I am working on cleaning up bug 525534. The reporter points to a blog post that states that someone is working on a issue with x.org upstream. Would that be considered already reported(even though I have not found a duplicate bug report yet) or should I clean up the bug. | 00:18 |
| Tiibiidii | thanks again... and don't bother to reply if you're trying right now :) | 00:18 |

| kermiac | np Anzenketh :) | 00:50 |
| kermiac | it has to be pretty much identical. | 00:50 |

| LimCore | again.. what should one do to just have this parcellite in main, auto-installed with desktop and auto run on gnome start?? | 00:57 |
| LimCore | becasue, now other people /then me/ say its an epic fail | 00:58 |
| LimCore | unless we are totally out of disc space (parcellite is tiny), I think we can just do it | 00:58 |
| kklimonda | It's such an old bug - I'm kinda attached to it | 00:59 |
| LimCore | you should be attached to it | 01:00 |
| LimCore | if you like when people say linux'es desktop is a joke and they are correct | 01:00 |
| kklimonda | my opinion has always been that if any project that tries to fix this problem have a screenshot section on their homepage than they are doing this wrong | 01:00 |
| LimCore | we can hide the icon later (but why) lets fix it now first shall we? | 01:01 |
| LimCore | it's one of ubuntus biggest fails imho, like the broken sound/pulse, and hanging GFX/nvidia - but this one is SO TRIVIAL to fix, compared with really problems with kernels/drivers, or the flash problems... its like x1000 times easier =) I think we are talking about it much more then it would take to just fix it | 01:02 |
| kklimonda | is it really so trivial? | 01:02 |
| kklimonda | just because there are quite a few implementation of clipboard doesn't mean that they do it the right way. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be fixed - just that from what I can recall the problem was much more complex | 01:04 |
| LimCore | 1) install parcellite 2) add parcellite to auto-start for GNOME 3) BUG IF FIXED \o/ we are no longer 20 years behind other "real" OS ;) woooooooo 4) ???? 5) PROFIT | 01:04 |
| kklimonda | you are not a developer, aren't you? | 01:05 |
| LimCore | I am | 01:05 |
| LimCore | you? | 01:05 |
| LimCore | if 10+ years C C++ php counts. Why do you ask | 01:06 |
| kklimonda | so am I - and I remember at least few discussions about it when developers were rising some problems that programs like parcellite may introduce - but the last time I've been interested in it was years ago | 01:06 |
| LimCore | you probably mean that this solution is sort of work around and/or is "hackish" | 01:07 |
| kklimonda | no, not that | 01:07 |
| LimCore | then what? | 01:07 |
| LimCore | I tried, it works | 01:07 |
| LimCore | in either way it works better then by default. So just install this untill there is time for "better" solution | 01:08 |
| kklimonda | I have no idea - it was years ago. something about that those daemons may use a lot of memory in some cases | 01:08 |
| persia | They can use an arbitrary amount, depending on what is in the clipboard. | 01:08 |
| kklimonda | but anyway, this isn't the right channel or even a way of fixing this bug | 01:08 |
| LimCore | in the bug report, there is a work around by some ubuntu devel or something. It constist of installing an tiny application + starting it at gnome startup. all I say is: JUST STOP OVER TALKING IT ALREADY =) and simply apply this work around by default! how hard is it | 01:08 |
| persia | I don't remember the last mailing list discussion about it. | 01:08 |
| Anzenketh | If the bug is exactly the same except for the version of ubuntu (9.10 vs 9.04) I can mark ad duplicate right? | 01:09 |
| persia | But if parcellite is considered the best-of-breed solution, it may be worth filing an MIR and restarting the discussion. | 01:09 |
| kklimonda | Anzenketh: right | 01:09 |
| persia | But that would be for lucid+1, as lucid is past FeatureFreeze. | 01:09 |
| LimCore | jesus whats with you and the discussions | 01:09 |
| LimCore | you know what, if I would be ubuntu developer, | 01:09 |
| LimCore | this bugs would be fixed now. For months. Or years | 01:09 |
| crimsun | LimCore: what are you waiting for? Becoming a developer isn't difficult. | 01:10 |
| LimCore | it takes 15 minutes to fix it I bet. 30 if you need to print all the forms on paper, get them stamped and faxed forth and back | 01:10 |
| persia | The discussion is essential to avoid upload wars. If there is not consensus, there's no assurance that another developer won't override one's changes. | 01:10 |
| LimCore | ok then, my point is: FIX THE BUG | 01:10 |
| LimCore | what are disadvantages? | 01:11 |
| persia | I don't know. I'm just suggesting the way forward. | 01:11 |
| crimsun | sigh, what the heck is it with broken sound/pulse being an Ubuntu-specific thing? | 01:11 |
| * persia doesn't have permission to make a change log that | 01:11 | |
| crimsun | I mean there's FUD, and then there's /FUD/ | 01:11 |
| LimCore | I didnt seen anyone mention any real disadvantages. If someone would copy a huge load of images or 1000 page document, then yea we should expect some memory usage, thats normal (even if it would be 30 instead of 15 mb) | 01:12 |
| persia | crimsun: If only one man climbs a mountain, and he slips, he must be wearing lousy shoes. | 01:12 |
| LimCore | crimsun: I am not sure if this is ubuntu fault, but definatelly getting sound to work fully and realibly on ubuntus in a stable way, is often hard. Did not tried other linuxes too much there | 01:13 |
| crimsun | of course it's non-trivial -- I know that quite well. | 01:13 |
| LimCore | it should be trivial | 01:13 |
| crimsun | I just don't see anyone who's complaining bitterly also /stepping forward to help fix it/ | 01:13 |
| LimCore | again with other OSes, I would like Ubuntu sound to be at least as good as on windows in 1999 or so | 01:14 |
| LimCore | but as I said, this bug (sound) probably is very hard to fix, weeks or months of work. Compared to half a day for clipboard things | 01:14 |
| crimsun | anyhow, I don't have time to "discuss" whether sound sucks in Ubuntu. | 01:14 |
| LimCore | crimsun: for people with new Ubuntus that I know (~7 new), for half of them the sound system is failing seriously - they can not play and/or record sound | 01:15 |
| crimsun | tell them to use Lucid, then. | 01:15 |
| LimCore | I do not know, is there a reason for such a broad bug reports? | 01:15 |
| LimCore | because unless there would be some team dedicated to making Ubuntu sound /really/ working, its just waste of time with the reports if noone is acting on them | 01:16 |
| crimsun | LimCore: there /is/ a team | 01:16 |
| LimCore | is it as fast as with the clipboard problem? | 01:16 |
| crimsun | I haven't read backscroll, so I don't know the comparison. | 01:16 |
| micahg | LimCore: I explained the clipboard problem before...no one wants to listen | 01:16 |
| LimCore | micahg: I am listening. I tried (yours?) work around to install percellite, it works. Why we keep talking unproductivly instead just applying that work around to everyone on Lucid and SRU to Karmic | 01:17 |
| micahg | LimCore: because not everyone wants that installed, Ubuntu is not like Mac and Windows in that there is no core OS, it's a compilation of packages | 01:18 |
| micahg | LimCore: also, space on the CD is limited | 01:18 |
| LimCore | then kick out some of artwork | 01:18 |
| LimCore | users just get frustrated | 01:19 |
| kklimonda | micahg: that's not the reason - we have a set of packages that are installed as the default desktop and parcellite takes like 300kb installed | 01:19 |
| persia | LimCore: Rather than complaining about this, why not work to implement it. Like I said, if parcellite is known to be the right solution, the first step would be to review the MIR process to make sure the code is clean. | 01:19 |
| LimCore | we all know ubuntu is failing to provide functionallity known in other system for 10..20 years, the work around is trivial, and yet here we are still talking instead of doing | 01:19 |
| persia | LimCore: Then start a discussion about having it installed by default. | 01:19 |
| LimCore | I dont want to discuss, I want to get it fixed | 01:20 |
| persia | A discussion is a necessary part of that. The discussion may be quick. | 01:20 |
| LimCore | if I would like to discuss unprodictivly while people that need my help are left behind I would join UN | 01:20 |
| persia | But complaining in this channel neither helps fix the bug nor helps triage other bugs. | 01:20 |
| LimCore | then where exactly to have that discussion? | 01:20 |
| persia | Well, first you need to get it into main (or at least have an approved MIR). | 01:21 |
| persia | At that point, ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com is probably appropriate, but starting the discussion prematurely won't help fix the bug. | 01:21 |
| LimCore | this seems to just slow down fixing of the bugs | 01:21 |
| persia | Which part? | 01:22 |
| persia | Reviewing the code to make sure it's supportable and maintainable? | 01:22 |
| LimCore | the talking part, we already know the problem and the work around | 01:22 |
| persia | Or making sure that other developers won't undo the changes after making them? | 01:22 |
| LimCore | the code will be one-liner like + precellite to some auto-run in gnome skelleton | 01:22 |
| persia | Many of this class of discussion are 3-4 mails over a week or so. It doesn't need a lot of discussion. | 01:22 |
| LimCore | what about the first part, about MIR and main? | 01:23 |
| persia | But *first* the package has to be gotten in good shape. | 01:23 |
| persia | That's just a matter of making sure the package is mostly bug free, doesn't have secuirty holes, etc. | 01:23 |
| LimCore | well, glipper is bs, it crashed/hangs. But percellite works | 01:23 |
| persia | Make sure it already does the right autostart stuff, and so on. | 01:23 |
| persia | Right, but while you know this, not everyone might. | 01:23 |
| persia | So get parcellite into perfect shape, and file the MIR | 01:23 |
| persia | !mir | 01:23 |
| ubot4 | mir is Main Inclusion Report - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess for more information. | 01:24 |
| persia | Bugs are fixed because people capable of fixing the bugs fix them. | 01:24 |
| persia | Bugs are not fixed by complaining that developers don't do anything: this just makes people less likely to volunteer to fix bugs. | 01:24 |
| persia | Similarly, if you want to help make sound better, join the audio team, and again, it's by *doing* stuff that you get it solved, not by complaining about the issues in the bug forum. | 01:25 |
| LimCore | btw how long it can take to become ubuntu developer | 01:26 |
| persia | The first step is intent. WIth that step, one can br productive in days. | 01:26 |
| persia | It usually takes a cycle or so of being a developer prior to being granted upload permission. Sometimes more. Depends on activity, skill, time, etc. | 01:27 |
| LimCore | I thought being ubuntu developer is connected with somone approving rights to some ssh keys and stuff | 01:27 |
| persia | (it took me about two years from when I first started being a developer until I was granted upload rights, but some people do it in 4-5 months). | 01:27 |
| LimCore | there is a mode where one can upload changes to experimental or something, and then just /quickly/ ask for pushes of that into real repos? | 01:27 |
| persia | No. Being an Ubuntu Developer is about deciding to be an Ubuntu Developer. | 01:27 |
| micahg | upload rights don't hinder controbutions | 01:27 |
| micahg | *contributions... | 01:28 |
| LimCore | so where are such contributions pushed? | 01:28 |
| LimCore | ppa? | 01:28 |
| persia | Generally we attach debdiffs or diff.gz files (depending on the change) to bugs. | 01:28 |
| persia | And we seek sponsorship | 01:28 |
| LimCore | that should takes minutes not days imho | 01:28 |
| LimCore | *take | 01:28 |
| persia | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing has a (somewhat outdated) description of how to start being a developer. | 01:28 |
| persia | !sponsorship | 01:29 |
| ubot4 | Factoid 'sponsorship' not found | 01:29 |
| persia | Bother. | 01:29 |
| persia | !sponsor | 01:29 |
| ubot4 | Factoid 'sponsor' not found | 01:29 |
| micahg | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess | 01:29 |
| persia | Anyway, one basically subscribes a team to a bug. | 01:29 |
| persia | Thanks micahg | 01:29 |
| LimCore | !sponsorship is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing | 01:29 |
| * micahg recalls someone calling me a bot :P | 01:29 | |
| LimCore | !dance | 01:29 |
| ubot4 | Factoid 'dance' not found | 01:29 |
| persia | Getting sponsored takes between hours and weeks, depending on the bug, the availability of sponsors, etc. | 01:29 |
| persia | A few days is usually about normal. | 01:30 |
| micahg | universe sponsors are more abundant than main sponsors ATM | 01:30 |
| lifeless | you'd hope so | 01:30 |
| persia | Well, more people can upload to those packages, so the pool of volunteers is bigger :) | 01:30 |
| lifeless | with a 10:1 ratio of packages | 01:31 |
| LimCore | so when I make patches that are accepted, I can be now some officiall debian developer? | 01:31 |
| persia | Debian is different. | 01:31 |
| persia | But yeah, spend a couple months working on patches with the development team, and the DMB will probably grant you official "Contributing Developer" status. | 01:31 |
| LimCore | I ment to write Ubuntu | 01:32 |
| persia | Beyond that it's just demonstrating involvement and capability to join a given development team, and that team might grant you upload rights to their packages. | 01:32 |
| persia | (so you become a Kubuntu Developer or Mythbuntu Developer or Ubuntu Desktop Developer, or MOTU, etc.) | 01:32 |
| LimCore | I think 4 weeks should be my goal | 01:33 |
| persia | Like I said before, most of the developer teams like to see work though at least a full development cycle before granting someone upload permissions. | 01:33 |
| LimCore | took 1 with FLTK to get rw access | 01:33 |
| LimCore | (4 weeks should make sense to contributing devel stat; not to rw) | 01:34 |
| persia | 4 weeks probably takes a lot of effort on your part, to make enough significant contributions that get support from other developers. | 01:34 |
| persia | But I'll wish you good luck with it. It's not a bad goal, if aggressive. | 01:34 |
| LimCore | fast progress is good | 01:35 |

| Anzenketh | bug 525075 | 04:02 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 525075 in maximus (Ubuntu) "Please merge maximus (0.4.14-1) from Debian Testing (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/525075 | 04:02 |
| Anzenketh | I set to complete due to it had a patch in it but then i figured it was a developer bug due to it was requesting a merge | 04:02 |
| persia | Anzenketh: How do you mean "set to complete"? | 04:10 |
| Anzenketh | I mean like set to triaged or Confirmed | 04:10 |
| persia | Oh, yeah, it's best to just ignore those bugs. | 04:11 |
| persia | There are efforts working on better ways to deal with them, but it will take some time. | 04:11 |
| persia | Setting to "confirmed" in this case wouldn't have mattered (and it would be the correct status, technically, according to the developer workflows), but we try to avoid doing anything that generates bugmail for that class of bug. | 04:12 |
| persia | Ideally, we'd have some other way to track candidates. | 04:12 |
| persia | The DistributedDevelopment team has done work to enable that for some workflows, but the tools are still maturing. | 04:13 |
| persia | With luck, this class of bugs will go away in another year or two. | 04:13 |
| crimsun | vish: it's reproducible here for all engines | 04:14 |
| crimsun | vish: I did that precise test on two daily-live images | 04:14 |
| crimsun | anyhoo, back to audio bugs | 04:14 |
| vish | crimsun: weird.. :s for the ones who confirmed that bug it happens only with murrine | 04:14 |
| vish | yay audio :D | 04:15 |
| Anzenketh | Ya launchpad does not seam like the best tool for triage either. | 04:15 |
| persia | Well, if we could get rid of all the special case bugs, it would be better for that :) | 04:15 |
| Anzenketh | Ya it would also be nice to systematically go down the bugs to be treaged | 04:17 |
| persia | Well, I think there's only three special cases left: stable updates, syncs, sponsoring. | 04:19 |
| persia | Sponsoring is getting closer and closer to being ready. | 04:19 |
| Anzenketh | All three of those are developer process type bugs right? | 04:20 |
| persia | Yes. | 04:21 |
| persia | Well, syncs and sponsoring are. | 04:21 |
| persia | stable updates are a bit trickier, as they also involve users. | 04:21 |
| persia | But stable updates can probably be handled with improved nomination/distribution tracking support. | 04:21 |

| persia | Anzenketh: No, because of the potential for user data loss. | 04:56 |
| persia | (try again :) ) | 04:56 |
| Anzenketh | Interesting I am part of the triage group but do not have access to set to triage. | 04:56 |
| persia | Anzenketh: There are various levels of access control. Once you get more experience, you'll want to apply for Bug Control. | 04:58 |
| Anzenketh | Ahh it is the bug control group | 04:58 |
| Anzenketh | That makes sence. | 04:58 |
| persia | But this takes a while. A very motivated individual with lots of experience might do it in 2-3 weeks, but it's usually a month or more (depending on activity level, etc.) | 04:58 |
| ddecator | persia, that's good to know...i might be closer than i thought then | 04:59 |
| Anzenketh | I am ok with waiting. I am glad I finally found something I can help out with. | 05:00 |
| persia | ddecator: Just check the requirements. If you're certain you can give good answers to the questionaire, and expect enough people to be familiar with your work to review your application, you're in good shape. If you're not there yet, at least you'll know how far you have. | 05:00 |
| ddecator | persia, hmmm, i can give good answers to the questionnaire, but i'm not sure how many people have been following me closely... | 05:07 |
| persia | ddecator: Well, let me ask that a different way. Do you feel like you're part of the team, and most of the others here are peers, or do you still feel like you're learning how to do it? | 05:08 |
| persia | If the former, you've probably been watched enough, as we tend to watch new folk (especially as we respond to requests to adjust status and importance). | 05:09 |
| persia | If the latter, keep at it, and ask for status/importance review more, and you'll get there. | 05:09 |
| ddecator | persia, i feel like you are all peers. i don't feel like i can take just any random report and know exactly what to ask for, but i can work out most of them, and micahg is teaching me how to specialize in firefox reports | 05:10 |
| persia | ddecator: That's usually a good indicator. Worst case is that if you apply and get deferred, you'll get feedback why, and know what to do in order to be approved | 05:13 |
| persia | We never reject anyone, we only defer or deny requests for increased permissions, and hope anyone who doesn't get more permissions today will apply again soon. | 05:14 |
| ddecator | persia, true...one thing i'm wondering, the wiki asks if the person provided the importance they would give a report...i never said it in the comments, but i worked out the importance on this channel...does it need to be documented that i worked out the importance? | 05:14 |
| persia | ddecator: You can just say "The importances for these bugs were all set on request by folk on #ubuntu-bugs" or similar. | 05:17 |
| persia | You need to pick bugs where you chose the importance. If some still aren't set, then you can note it. | 05:17 |
| persia | If you got them all set already, that's good evidence of team integration :) | 05:18 |
| ddecator | persia, fair enough...so if i can find 5 reports that i think are good examples of my work, do you think i should apply and worst-case-scenario get helpful feedback? | 05:18 |
| persia | ddecator: I'm not going to tell you to apply : I believe it's something people should do when they think they are ready. | 05:19 |
| persia | In part this is because I believe that deciding one is ready is an important step to being ready :) | 05:20 |
| ddecator | persia, good point =). i feel confident so i'm going to look at my previous reports and see if i can find 5 goods examples. if i get it all setup, who do i send it to? i don't see the list on lists.ubuntu.com | 05:23 |
| persia | The answers you seek are in the wiki :) | 05:23 |
| ddecator | persia, that's what i'm looking at, but i wasn't reading "AT" as @, haha | 05:23 |

| Damascene | we are asking him | 11:22 |
| persia | I asked "Can *you* replicate", not can the person experiencing the issue replicate :) | 11:24 |
| persia | The point being that it's probably best to either guide them to file a bug, or for you to replicate and file the bug. | 11:24 |
| kklimonda | persia: as he didn't tell what the problem was it's hard to duplicate it :) | 11:24 |

I filed against lvm2, because root is on lvm, but I'm not sure about that and debugging is hard when one can't boot.

| nigelb | or rather the filtering.. | 13:57 |
| hggdh | nigelb: I had missed a small detail... | 14:00 |
| hggdh | http://etherpad.com/HocXEybBnk | 14:00 |
| hggdh | nigelb: instead of str(1) I should have written str.group(1) | 14:01 |
| nigelb | hggdh: that caused the entire issue? | 14:01 |
| hggdh | yes | 14:02 |
| nigelb | hggdh: what does the last part do? | 14:02 |
| nigelb | the debugging | 14:02 |
| nigelb | hggdh: lol, you forgot '\n' again | 14:04 |
| hggdh | oops.1 debugging?? oops.2 \n? | 14:05 |
| nigelb | lol "## DEBUGING ##" | 14:06 |
| nigelb | why did you use '\\n' instead of '\n'? | 14:06 |
| hggdh | oh, yestypo | 14:06 |
| hggdh | typo | 14:06 |
| nigelb | ah, I thought it was meant to be something and you forgot an option :p | 14:07 |
| hggdh | the ## debugging ## piece I am still writing -- a way to call the hook without needed to run rhythmbox | 14:07 |
| nigelb | um, we dont need to run rhythmbox anyway (unless using debug output) | 14:08 |
| hggdh | but I need to go back into apport, and see what is in the 'ui' parameter to add_info() | 14:08 |
| hggdh | yes. you could call 'python ./source_rhythmbox.py' instead | 14:08 |
| thekorn | line 26 is also looking wrong ;) should be `response2 is None` | 14:08 |
| hggdh | *this* one I am not guity of ;-) | 14:08 |
| hggdh | nigelb: ^ | 14:09 |
| thekorn | haha | 14:09 |
| nigelb | ah, it should be response2 == None | 14:09 |
| nigelb | I added the none from the c hangover | 14:09 |
| nigelb | s/none/quotes | 14:09 |
| thekorn | compare to None in python by using "is" and not "==" | 14:10 |
| nigelb | oh, but how come == worked? | 14:11 |
| hggdh | None is a magical value | 14:11 |
| nigelb | hggdh: I added username field also to be masked | 14:12 |
| * nigelb kicks whoever wrote totem hook | 14:12 | |
| nigelb | I copied from there | 14:12 |
| hggdh | heh | 14:13 |
| nigelb | thekorn: all '== None' to be changed to 'is None' ? | 14:13 |
| hggdh | nigelb: I do not know what gconf values should be asmked -- I used rhythmbox, but very lightly | 14:13 |
| hggdh | nigelb: yes | 14:13 |
| nigelb | lol | 14:13 |
| thekorn | yes | 14:13 |
| nigelb | I just searched for name, nigel, and password | 14:14 |
| hggdh | I did not even look at that | 14:14 |
| nigelb | and masked all those valaues | 14:14 |
| hggdh | good | 14:14 |
| nigelb | values rather | 14:14 |
| hggdh | so I understand 'nigel' is now masked? | 14:14 |
| nigelb | lol | 14:14 |
| nigelb | any field that displayed my name is now masked (you did that already) | 14:14 |
| nigelb | I just added username too to the masked fields | 14:15 |
| nigelb | checked the pad now | 14:15 |
| nigelb | I updated with my code | 14:15 |
| nigelb | hggdh: I still didn't understand the ##debugging## part | 14:17 |
| hggdh | nigelb: it is incomplete, I have to read the docs on add_info() -- I am missing one parameter | 14:18 |
| hggdh | nigelb: but the idea is to allow you to run it stand-alone, for tests | 14:18 |
| nigelb | oh, that needed not be uploaded? | 14:18 |
| nigelb | s/needed/need | 14:18 |
| hggdh | you would just run 'python ./source_rhythmbox.py' or '... rhythmbox.py -p `pidof rhythmbox`' | 14:19 |
| hggdh | no, it does not need to be uploaded now | 14:19 |
| nigelb | great :) | 14:19 |
| nigelb | since the masks work, can I start working on submitting a merge? | 14:20 |
| hggdh | yes | 14:20 |
| hggdh | of course | 14:20 |
| hggdh | note that I chaged the code again -- a sample on how to split long lines | 14:20 |
| hggdh | (see the etherpad) | 14:20 |

| nigelb | qense: I talked to pitti about making apport data private | 16:59 |
| nigelb | he said that right now, there is no feature to do that, but it wouldn't be appropriate for what you're trying to do too. He suggested masking/filtering private values | 17:00 |
| hggdh | nigelb: OK, thank you. | 17:01 |
| hggdh | yes, masking is what you are doing right now, so this is good | 17:01 |
| nigelb | :) | 17:01 |
| qense | nigelb: OK, that's maybe the right thing to do indeed. Thank you for asking! Now I have to find a way to filter Facebook uids. :S | 17:01 |
| nigelb | qense: i made one for rhythmbox | 17:01 |
| nigelb | and you should try using regex in python. | 17:02 |

| om26er | can any one please suggest if this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libindicate/+bug/524308 is associated with the right package | 17:35 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 524308 in libindicate (Ubuntu) "indicator applet does not reflect any change for any application (affects: 3) (dups: 1)" [Medium,Triaged] | 17:35 |
| om26er | PS: this is not specifically a problem with indicator-sound also happens for other apps like rhythmbox, transmission | 17:36 |
| persia | om26er: I'd suggest that conor would be the best person to ask. Based on the response and the "Most Active In" report on LP, he seems to be an upstream developer. | 17:44 |
| om26er | persia, should I subscribe him to the bug? as the bug was reported against indicator-sound and he is subscribed to indicator-sound and when It was changed to libindicate he dont know whats happening as he is not subscribed | 17:46 |
| persia | om26er: I'd just leave it alone. There's a clear statement of intent to retest. | 17:46 |
| persia | If there's no update in a few more days, (say by Thursday), it might be appropriate to verify the subscription (remember that people can be subscribed through teams), and add a comment asking for the results of the testing. | 17:47 |
| persia | But when upsteam comes to help with a bug, it's best to be very gentle: that's extra nice of them, and we want to make sure they have a positive experience working with us. | 17:48 |
| om26er | persia, will do that, Thanks | 17:49 |
| om26er | connor responed. :) | 17:52 |
| om26er | I am starting on gwibber bugs and there are old bugs (many) reported against jaunty or karmic should I ask reporter to retest with development release of gwibber and mark them incomplete | 18:11 |
| charlie-tca | om26er: usually you try to reproduce them in development yourself, if possible. | 18:14 |
| persia | om26er: Depends on how critical they are. For minor bugs, yeah. For crashers, etc. it's worth investigating in jaunty or karmic for SRU. | 18:14 |
| persia | (plus what charlie-tca said) | 18:14 |
| charlie-tca | and there is this response if you need it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Old%20untouched%20bugs | 18:15 |
| om26er | and what about bugs like this its marked fixed upstream and Its kind of a bug that I dont understand so should I mark it fixed in ubuntu? https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/439325 | 18:16 |

| charlie-tca | you have to check the source package overview, and see what version is in lucid. If the fix is in lucid, then you can mark it fix-released or ask if the reporter can check it in lucid to make sure it is fixed. | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | You see comment #5 and #6, looking for more information? It may not be fixed, so ask if they will supply the data. Then it can be closed in two weeks | 18:19 |

| Zorael | I'm trying to submit a sound bug on my netbook running Kubuntu Lucid, with updated packages. ubuntu-bug audio tells me "the troubleshooter only works for the Ubuntu flavors that use PulseAudio", and Launchpad just redirects me to the wiki page on how to report bugs. | 18:28 |
| Zorael | What are my options? File it against alsa-base? | 18:28 |
| om26er | if a crash report dont have any new duplicates in 5months what treatment should it get? | 18:30 |
| hggdh | Zorael: I guess open against alsa, yes. Probably the folks at #kubuntu will know more | 18:31 |
| hggdh | om26er: the usual: is it repeatable? If so, how? Does upstream have a bug on it? etc | 18:31 |
| Zorael | hggdh: Right, thanks | 18:32 |
| crimsun | Zorael: don't use the symptom; use the specific package | 18:33 |
| crimsun | Zorael: ubuntu-bug alsa-base | 18:34 |
| crimsun | that said, patches welcome to make the symptom work with Ubuntu derivatives | 18:34 |
| crimsun | parent branch: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/apport/apport-symptoms/ | 18:34 |
| Zorael | crimsun: Okay. I just read Martin Pitt's blog entry (http://www.piware.de/2010/02/ubuntu-bug-audio/) that recommended ubuntu-bug audio use, but perhaps non-flavor Ubuntu was implied and I missed it | 18:38 |
| crimsun | Zorael: yeah, the post didn't mention it was specific to Ubuntu flavours using PA | 18:38 |
| crimsun | again, that can be fixed via patches :-) | 18:38 |
| MTecknology | Bug 410407 has 220 comments. It's been getting bounced back and forth between packages. Now somebody tracked it down to another package and has a good reason for that change.

| MTecknology | nspluginwrapper; that's invalid, isn't it? | 19:09 |
| persia | micahg: Excelt comment #14 seems to imply that it can be fixed with an environment variable: what does that do? Does it provide different hints to apps? | 19:09 |
| * persia wonders if it's a compiz thing | 19:09 | |
| MTecknology | persia: it's not | 19:09 |
| micahg | persia: no, the env variable works around the gtk issue which might not be a GTK issue... | 19:10 |
| MTecknology | the new gtk+ caused a lot of issues in some apps.. | 19:10 |
| MTecknology | that's a really ugly bug report though - but it happens in other distros - not debain/ubuntu specific | 19:11 |
| persia | It looks like the bug is in a spec somewhere. | 19:11 |
| persia | So that different software implements stuff in slightly different "correct" ways, and they don't happen to get along. | 19:12 |
| persia | Finding the minority case and fixing all the candidates is likely to be painful. | 19:12 |
| persia | I don't think there's any advantage to opening more bugs about it. | 19:12 |
| micahg | MTecknology: persia: it seems like a change was made in GTK 2.18 that affected several apps including flash and eclispe | 19:12 |
| MTecknology | I remeber it making claws-mail not show a list of email correctly | 19:13 |
| persia | micahg: Yes, but that might have been a fix to something else, and it might be that flash and java are incorrect. | 19:14 |
| micahg | persia: right, so someone has to look into it further | 19:14 |
| persia | It's rare to see this sort of many-workarounds solution with that class of packages affected when the spec is clear. | 19:15 |
| micahg | I'm happy to do it, just can't promise when | 19:15 |
| persia | But I thin kthat having 410407 as a capture point for reporters, especially because it blames non-free software that we can't modify is good. | 19:15 |
| persia | And we can investigate 425938 at leisure, and sort the issue. | 19:16 |
| MTecknology | I personally just install them myself | 19:19 |
| MTecknology | that blog I wrote about it helped me a lot | 19:19 |
| micahg | persia: it actually seems like the problem is nspluginwrapper, not flash | 19:19 |
| MTecknology | but that much makes me doubt it's flash or java itself | 19:20 |
| micahg | MTecknology: it's the implementation of GTK functions | 19:20 |
| micahg | now someone's trying to blame ia32-libs...this gets better | 19:21 |
| MTecknology | :P | 19:21 |
| MTecknology | they at least have a real reason for thinking that | 19:21 |
| micahg | only circumstantial evidence | 19:22 |
| micahg | which I guess makes sense | 19:22 |
| micahg | but i'm pretty sure it has to do with the implementation of GTK | 19:23 |
| MTecknology | probably | 19:23 |
| MTecknology | gosh darn all these random apps that don't magically work together perfectly out of the box :P | 19:23 |
| Anzenketh | After I have looked at a bug and have determined it needs more information do I immediately set it to incomplete? | 19:34 |
| charlie-tca | Anzenketh: you set it to incomplete and comment. | 19:38 |
| Anzenketh | Ok so every bug I touch should really have a status set when I am done with it correct? | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | yes, that is correct | 19:39 |
| Anzenketh | Incomplete on waiting for info. Complete on the bugs that have passed the test. Cool that clears things up a lot | 19:39 |
| persia | Well, not quite. | 19:43 |
| persia | Some bugs might stump you, and then you call for help (here) and get someone else to help set to one of those. | 19:44 |
| persia | And some bugs are spam (yes, although not many), and so go straight to Invalid. | 19:44 |
| Anzenketh | I am just part of the bug squad the information is unclear on if I should be able to set status or not. | 20:01 |
| Anzenketh | Nevermind found the info | 20:02 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, set the status, but if you can not set it, give the request to set it here along with the bug number | 20:03 |
| Anzenketh | charlie-tca: I apologize I meant importance and I found I have to be higher rights to do that. | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | Same thing. After you set status and determine what it should be, come here and give the importance you need set and the bug number | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | One of the bug-control people will then set it | 20:15 |
| jcastro | bdmurray: I found a bug in the New state but 5 people had clicked "Affects me too". Shouldn't that do the right thing? | 20:34 |
| bdmurray | jcastro: hunh, that's an idea I hadn't heard of but makes some sense to me | 20:35 |
| jcastro | bdmurray: maybe not affects like 2, but after some threshold it should do something | 20:35 |
| jcastro | should I file a bug? | 20:35 |

| bdmurray | jcastro: of course! | 20:36 |
| jcastro | mrand: yeah | 20:36 |

| nigel_nb | hggdh: I've added my comments | 20:53 |
| nigel_nb | I need to check the new totem hook to see what they did for audio | 20:53 |
| nigel_nb | ugh! totem is not synced on bzr, so I have to wait till I get home to see the sourc | 20:54 |

| hggdh | you can get it via packages.ubuntu.com | 20:58 |

| hggdh | lost virtualisation support here, still trying to find out where it went | 21:10 |
| nigel_nb | lol | 21:10 |
| nigel_nb | I dont think I can see totem code without being on ubuntu | 21:11 |
| hggdh | if your windows has utilities for dealing with gzip and tar, I do not see why | 21:11 |
| nigel_nb | how do I apply the diff to the gzip though? | 21:12 |
| nigel_nb | hggdh: ah, the new totem is very small and very cool | 21:13 |
| nigel_nb | hggdh: if the issue is audio, it just calls "os.execlp('apport-bug', 'apport-bug', 'audio')" | 21:13 |
| nigel_nb | and the audio hook will deal with it | 21:13 |
| nigel_nb | and if its codec, report.add_package_info("libgstreamer0.10-0") | 21:14 |
| nigel_nb | hggdh: only question now is, should or should we not add the debug information | 21:14 |
| persia | jcastro: Could you reference the bug you found in the odd state in bug #526004? The LP history may be sufficient to reconstruct (although it's trivial to replicate in staging) | 21:15 |

| nigel_nb | persia: talking to the bot? | 21:16 |

| * nigel_nb has too look at logs | 21:18 | |
| nigel_nb | seb128: so you think the debug output is not required for the hook? | 21:18 |
| persia | Or two, depending on your opinion of the current time :) | 21:18 |
| nigel_nb | seb128: I seemed to think we asked that for a lot of rhythmbox bugs, thats why I added it | 21:18 |
| seb128 | nigel_nb, I think we don't really know what we are doing often so ask for a debug log | 21:19 |
| nigel_nb | seb128: oh ;) | 21:19 |
| seb128 | I'm not sure how much private datas those can have though | 21:19 |
| seb128 | like account names for services, passwords | 21:20 |
| nigel_nb | I was going through the old bugs last week and saw plenty of debugs requested | 21:20 |
| seb128 | right, as said it seems somewhat a standard reply | 21:20 |
| seb128 | you could try asking on #rhythmbox irc.gnome.org what infos are usually useful | 21:21 |
| nigel_nb | hm, I'll have to do that when I get home. I'm at work right now | 21:21 |
| nigel_nb | i'll update the audio issues though. I didn't of using the lucid totem hook | 21:22 |
| nigel_nb | persia: ah, it was a rhythmbox bug where I was trying to make sense of the debug output | 21:22 |
| nigel_nb | persia: we'll have to do that some time later when I'm on an ubuntu machine | 21:23 |
| persia | OK. I'm often about :) | 21:23 |

| bdmurray | Have you seen this bug control app from Luca Invernizzi? | 22:10 |
| hggdh | I think I missed it, do not remember seeing it | 22:10 |
| hggdh | the name is not strange, though | 22:11 |
| bdmurray | The body of work presented are bugs about the project GTG, not any Ubuntu bugs .... | 22:11 |
| hggdh | Is he upstream? | 22:11 |
| bdmurray | yes | 22:11 |
| hggdh | would he not fall into the "welcome upstream" thingie? | 22:12 |
| bdmurray | well he applied the normal way | 22:12 |
| hggdh | oh, OK. | 22:12 |
| bdmurray | anyway the principles are the same | 22:12 |
| bdmurray | right? | 22:13 |
| hggdh | I *now* remember it -- came in a few days ago, and I was wondering how to deal with it, and wanted to talk with you | 22:13 |
| hggdh | if he is upstream, and GTG is based on LP, does he need -control? | 22:13 |
| bdmurray | no but gtg is packaged so I can see it helping | 22:13 |
| bdmurray | and they said "I want to start to help also outside of GTG, that's all." | 22:14 |
| bdmurray | I don't want to stop that at all! ;-) | 22:14 |
| hggdh | and we had a ML exchange some time ago about upstreamers -- I *think*we ended up with having some active maintainer ack them would help | 22:14 |
| hggdh | neither do I... | 22:14 |
| bdmurray | okay, I'll review the work provided then | 22:15 |
| hggdh | want me to look for, and contact him? | 22:15 |
| bdmurray | I have all the tabs open already it looks pretty straight-forward to me | 22:15 |
| hggdh | k | 22:16 |
| kyubutsu | bug 437402 should be reviewed; first, f-spot will not run when [new wave] theme is active [gnome]. second, the original poster's information differs from what Umang and myself describe and certainly different than what i get as far as error log | 22:39 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 437402 in f-spot (Ubuntu) "F-Spot crashes (affects: 5) (dups: 3)" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/437402 | 22:39 |
| kyubutsu | the hilarity of it is that i install this theme as soon as i set up my system so i couldnt possibly think it was a problem caused by an official ubuntu theme | 22:41 |
| kyubutsu | i find that extremely awkward anyway | 22:43 |
| Zorael | If I have an audio bug that I can *work around* by disabling powersaving (Intel HDA), should I still file it as a bug? (It's not regarding the standard pop when the device wakes up from powersaving.) | 22:44 |
| kyubutsu | why would f-spot be made so dependant on a theme to function | 22:44 |
| hggdh | kyubutsu: it might also be that there is something in the theme that hits f-spot bad | 22:46 |
| hggdh | Zorael: yes, you should still report it, and note the workaround | 22:46 |
| hggdh | kyubutsu: if the OP description differs from yours, it sounds like you do not have the same bug as the OP. So it would be better to open a new one | 22:50 |
| kyubutsu | Umang reported a bug am more inclined to side with and it was still considered a dupe of 437402 | 22:52 |
| kyubutsu | so i dont feel all too comfortable opening a new one | 22:53 |
| hggdh | let me have a look | 22:53 |
| hggdh | kyubutsu: one thing is that the OP and you/umang are running different versions of f-spot (and Ubuntu, and themes) | 22:58 |
| hggdh | so this *could* still be related | 22:58 |
| kyubutsu | well.. i'll just keep an eye on it/them and finish gathering some more data for posting | 22:59 |
| hggdh | kyubutsu: hold on, I am not yet done ;-) | 22:59 |
| hggdh | there are two possibilities I see -- either this is a new wave theme issue (and a ubuntulooks), or this is a f-spot one. Of course, might be both | 23:00 |
| hggdh | but, given it is different versions of Ubuntu, f-spot, and themes, I would rather not dup them | 23:01 |
| hggdh | BTW, you can undup them yourself, if you do not agree with it | 23:01 |
| kyubutsu | i have only seen this happen with f-spot so blaming the theme is a bit of a stretch when all other programs behave correctly .. ; that being said, am not much of a regulator so i leave that confusion to someone else | 23:02 |
| hggdh | kyubutsu: already undupped | 23:02 |
| kyubutsu | 10-4 | 23:03 |
| hggdh | kyubutsu: it not being a regulator, just trying to *not* mix different issues in one single bug. All that glued them together was "different themes" | 23:03 |
| kyubutsu | well.. like they say in -offtopic, sanity is optional, but common sense is compulsory... | 23:07 |
| hggdh | heh | 23:07 |
| malev | hi there! can anyone change the importance of this bug to whislist? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/525231 | 23:10 |

| Laibsch | BUGabundo: tell me more about that force option you mentioned earlier. What command? | 23:22 |
| BUGabundo | aptitude purge --force PACKAGE ? | 23:23 |
| Laibsch | the man page says nothing about a force option | 23:24 |
| Laibsch | but the dpkg man page has something about --force-foo | 23:24 |
| BUGabundo | ok | 23:27 |
| BUGabundo | that would work too | 23:27 |
| BUGabundo | its lower level | 23:27 |
| Laibsch | but even "sudo dpkg --force-all -r xulrunner-1.9" won't do it | 23:28 |
| Laibsch | unfortunately, it doesn't work | 23:29 |
| Laibsch | package still clinging on ;-) | 23:29 |
| BUGabundo | nuke it out of the apt db LOL | 23:29 |
