[00:00] ic.. what is the reasoning hebind this decision? [00:00] behind [00:05] cjohnston, there is no tooltips on menus if those act as a menu now [00:06] and tooltips tend to clutter visually when not required [00:06] you can click on the icon it's almost no difference, same mouse position just a button to press [00:06] the battery info is in the menu directly [00:08] but then you have to click off to continue with whatever you were working on [00:08] so two extra steps [00:09] i realize they arent huge [00:09] but still [00:18] cjohnston, I'm not the one to discussion design with, try the ayatana mailing list [00:18] thanks seb128 [00:18] cjohnston, but usually you shouldn't have to click often [00:19] volume, power, etc have icons which should be clear [00:19] my battery dies quick [00:20] well the icon + bubbles on low level are infos you need usually [00:20] but feel free to argue on the ayatana list or raise the topic there rather === jonathan_ is now known as jjesse [00:21] thanks [00:21] will do [00:34] bug 541446 [00:34] Launchpad bug 541446 in ttf-okolaks (Ubuntu) "Sync ttf-okolaks 0.5-2.3 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) (affects: 1)" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/541446 [03:35] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-freefont/+bug/540042 [03:35] Launchpad bug 540042 in ttf-freefont (Ubuntu) "Freeserif Arabic version is broken (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New] [03:35] could any one help?

I fixed it by manually installing linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.31-20-generic from same ppa. I verified this on 2 diff config laptops. should these packages update automatically or do I have to manually install after a kernel revision update (i.e. if/when 2.6.31-21 is released)? === kermiac_ is now known as kermiac [08:47] bRoas === kermiac is now known as kermiac_ === jpds_ is now known as jpds === ogra_ is now known as ogra === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal [13:16] if a sound card is not listed in gnome-volume-control where do you guys think the bug might be? [13:16] alsa? pulse? [13:43] nigelb, yeah. [13:43] manish: okay, so you're trying to contribute to triaging and feel a bit lost? [13:43] i did traging since that takes least amount of time [13:43] true [13:44] and most of my contributions have basically been fixing papercuts [13:44] first thing, triaging is not about fixing [13:44] nigelb, i mean i tried fixing a few bugs [13:44] mostly in papercuts [13:45] What I'm trying to say is that you need not worry about the code base for adopting a package [13:45] then? [13:45] mostly, what you need to know is the package and how it works [13:46] triagers dont fix bugs, we only make sure that its easier for the people who actually fix the bugs [13:46] nigelb, that's what i usually did [13:46] and sometimes fixed a few bugs too.. in papercuts [13:46] that is great :) [13:46] whats your LP ID? [13:46] but couldn't fix more complicated bugs [13:47] since codebase is not documented most of the time [13:47] you dont need to worry much about fixing [13:47] nigelb, look at this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat/+bug/539847 [13:47] Launchpad bug 539847 in xchat (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "XChat should use the Humanity icon (affects: 1)" [Wishlist,Triaged] [13:47] i filed it.. but no response upstream [13:47] wanted to fix it downstream [13:47] the codebase has lots of cryptic filesnames [13:47] like inbound [13:48] some upstreams might be unresponsive [13:48] that's the problem [13:48] i wanted to fix it downstream [13:48] as i felt that upstream wont be interested [13:49] since they want to make it distro agnostic [13:49] my request was just to make xchat use the current theme's icon and use it's as the fallback [13:49] nigelb, basically you look at the code or the packaging? [13:50] manish: mostly packaging [13:50] as MOTU? [13:50] I tend to leave the actual fixing to upstream folks [13:50] I'm not yet there, but working to MOTU [13:50] packaging as in sense? [13:51] manish: packing for Ubuntu/Debian [13:51] even Debian? good [13:51] getting the source and making them into .debs and into the repos [13:51] (and making sure they work) [13:52] i think the latter part is more important [13:52] thats part of the thing ;) [13:52] manish: what you do is actually awesome, you look into code written by others and fix it. I can never do that [13:53] the thing about contributions are you look at what you are good at and concentrate on that. [13:53] nigelb, that is a pain.. since most open source project has undocumented codebase [13:53] and cryptic filenames [13:53] i tried fixing that bug [13:53] but the filenames and variable names are just too complex [13:54] manish: tried asking the good folks in ayatana about this? [13:54] nigelb, asked vishnooo [13:54] *Vishnoo [13:54] manish: the mailing list/ [13:54] nope. not the list [13:54] ask the list. You might get help from someone who's itching to help. Who knows [13:54] will the changes be committed now? [13:55] i think there are many freezes in effect [13:55] hi manish: i am interested in working on and fixing bugs what is a good way to learn or start? [13:55] mrburns, this is what me and nigelb are discussing [13:55] manish: well, it can be fixed for lucid+1 [13:55] mrburns, you know programming? [13:56] nigelb, that is the only hope left [13:56] manish: yeah i studied at school [13:56] mrburns, C ? [13:56] manish: mostly C++ but some C [13:56] nigelb, when you started with contributing to Ubuntu? [13:56] mrburns, I was looking at the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat/+bug/539847 [13:56] Launchpad bug 539847 in xchat (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "XChat should use the Humanity icon (affects: 1)" [Wishlist,Triaged] [13:56] manish: around sep 2009 [13:57] but looks a bit complex [13:57] nigelb, cool.. and you now a ubuntu member? [13:57] manish: yep [13:57] who sponsored? [13:57] there is no sponsorship. you apply to regional membership board and they look at your contributions and decide [13:58] you must have showed your contributions to Rhythmbox [13:58] that was only part of it. [13:59] I'm part of at least 6 teams [13:59] and there were fair number of contributions on all of them [13:59] I have been using it since 3.5 years [13:59] it = Ubuntu [13:59] but never was able to contribute much [14:00] manish: if you have a lack of time, thats understandable :) [14:01] I just took a look at the bugs you've triaged and its 32 [14:01] nigelb, sort of.. sometimes very free, sometimes very busy [14:01] 32 is still a small number [14:01] I'd encourage doing 5 a day [14:02] its a best way to learn. I used to it. Until I got too much pressed for time [14:02] nowadays I just pick a day and do only triage [14:02] i used to do 5-a-day around 1.5 yrs back [14:02] but then left it [14:02] did you have a mentor in bug squad? [14:03] nigelb, nope :( [14:03] manish: ask for one then :) [14:03] nigelb: should i just work on triaging for now before i get into fixing bugs [14:03] mrburns, do triaging [14:03] it's the basic thing [14:04] mrburns: triage first I'd say. then the odd bug you feel you can fix, you can try and fix. something like a typo or spell error or some easy stuff [14:04] nigelb, ^^ +1 [14:04] manish: yeah i have done a little triaging but still need to learn a lot [14:05] mrburns: get stuck, ask here [14:05] mrburns, i have been doing triaging since last 2 years, but never got time to do more [14:06] hggdh: you around? [14:06] manish: should i just stick to certain types of bugs to learn or just pick some at random [14:06] mrburns, which you understand [14:06] or traig bugs for those packages which you use a lot [14:06] like vlc [14:07] firefox [14:07] xchat, pidgin, empathy [14:07] mansih: ok i use those a lot like vlc, firefox, pidgin, empathy [14:08] mrburns, this is what I am also thinking of doing [14:08] I am returning back to 5-a-day after 1.5 yrs [14:08] manish: yeah i am starting off with one a day until i get the hang of it [14:09] mrburns, it's all a learning process [14:09] mrburns: all of started the same way... 1 a day, 2 a day [14:09] one huge minus point with me is that I have never fixed any serious bug [14:09] and I am not regular [14:09] so was asking nigelb how to contribute regularly. as he does [14:10] manish: well, again, fixing bugs is not what bug squad does :) [14:10] nigelb, many people of bug squad might also like to fix [14:11] yes, but after a good hand at traiging we get an idea of what is easy to fix [14:13] nigelb, thanks :) [14:14] manish: any help you need, feel free to ask. I should be online around this time [14:15] nigelb, I think there was an python application for 5-a-day [14:15] IIRC [14:16] manish: thats all gone now [14:16] nigelb, then? how they track 5-a-day? [14:16] they simply don't track? [14:16] manish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day [14:16] I saw that, but earlier they used to track [14:16] now we use a cron based on launchpadlib I think [14:17] http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/five-a-day/ [14:17] manish: ^ it spits out this report [14:17] what is launchpadlib based cron? [14:19] launchpadlib is a python module that communicates with LP [14:19] so, this report directly takes the data and generates the report at a particular point of time [14:20] nigelb, I know about launchpad API [14:20] but had no idea launchpadlib does that [14:21] manish: its a bit troublesome to work with since documentation is not great, but manageable for stuff lke these [14:21] i was trying to write a wrapper in C#.NET for LP API [14:21] signing works like a charm [14:22] thats cool :) [14:22] but when requesting data, I get 401. Even after banging my head and asking on mailing lists [14:22] i could not get any response [14:22] If I could get past that HTTP 401, I can complete that whole wrapper [14:22] I am confident [14:23] manish: talk to wgrant when you can catch him. [14:24] nigelb, he maintains LP? [14:25] or LP API? [14:25] manish: neither. he's hacked a lot around it [14:25] he pretty much knows it inside out [14:25] I don't think wgrant is out here [14:25] he must be asleep. its way late there [14:26] manish: re: tracking 5-a-day, you just join the team and keep your mail visible and it will be tracked [14:26] I dont need to worry about that... earlier 5-a-day had the provision that no two people work on the same bug [14:26] so that work isnt duplicated [14:27] that was the best thing I found out [14:32] manish: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~5-a-day/five-a-day-stats/trunk/annotate/head%3A/simple-mailinglist-parser [14:32] vish, thanks. looking at it [14:32] manish: that is what is being used to determine the member activity [14:33] vish, got it [14:33] vish, i asked since long back it used a pythonapp made by dholback [14:33] *dholbach [14:34] manish: if you have doubts you can ask the_korn or bd_murray , they wrote it i guess [14:34] vish, thanks. [14:44] seb128: do you know if there is an open bug for the behavior of the proxy field in last comment of bug 494373 [14:44] Launchpad bug 494373 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "gnome-network-properties sets $http_proxy incorrectly (affects: 3) (dups: 2)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494373 [14:44] no clue [14:44] I've no special interest in proxy and have been basically ignoring comments about those [14:44] seb128: oh ok.

[15:30] cjohnston: the thunderbrid bug still had a need-retrace tag [15:31] ok.. you mean by deleting the coredump.gz [15:31] cjohnston: yes [15:31] oh [15:31] i didnt know that.. :-x [15:32] so next time wait for the retrace before removing the coredump? [15:32] cjohnston: yes. As long as the retracer hasn't visited, if you might be able to add it back to the bug [15:33] cjohnston: yeah, the retracer will remove if retrace is successful [15:33] ahh [15:33] gotcha [15:33] cjohnston: the key is to look at the retrace tags/and or the retracer comments to see where the retracer is [15:34] man, I speaks poorly this morning ;-) If that jibberish wasn't clear, I mean to say that I'll bet that you can add the coredump.gz back to the bug as long as the retracer hasn't visited it. [15:35] mrand: where would i find the coredump.gz? [15:35] cjohnston: be sure to make private again first [15:35] ok [15:35] cjohnston: actually, better off resubmitting the crash report as private [15:35] and marking this one as a dupe [15:35] cjohnston: do you have the URL of the coredump that was attached? [15:36] launchpad is not fast about deleting the file. [15:36] mrand: actually it is now :) [15:36] usually it's in the email [15:36] yes [15:36] reattaching [15:37] maybe not.. the url gave no such resource [15:37] right [15:37] looks like micahg was right then... it used to be very slow. now it appears very fast ;-) [15:37] well... it crashes a couple times a day.. so ill do another one next time..

[23:46] Just tried Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1. There is a bug during install, when showing the keyboard layout names, when these are translated to non-latin. [23:46] Which program is the 'installer' that allows to select the keyboard layout? I want to file a report. [23:47] ubiquity i think simosx [23:47] bibinou: for general help, there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [23:48] bcurtiswx_: the layout names appear as ???? which is an encoding problem, found in all non-Latin scripts (Russian, Greek, etc). [23:48] simosx: actually, i'm trying to use apport-cli and/or apport bug [23:49] bibinou: ok. the typical thing is to ask anyway. if someone can help, they will probably help. [23:49] I have a .crash which I want to use to populate an existing bug, but apport-cli says it's better to open a new bug [23:50] does I open a new bug and mark the existing one as a duplicate ? [23:50] does I need to use apport-cli or apport-bug ? [23:50] (apport-cli crashed BTW) [23:51] simosx: ok.. not sure if its ubiquity.. but if noone chirps in soon i'd report it as ubiquity and they can change it from there [23:51] bcurtiswx_: I would say ubiquity too, I think the ubiquity team would triage it anyway [23:52] bibinou: «If you have already reported a bug directly via Launchpad, but want to add additional debugging information via Apport to the bug, you can do this by running the command apport-collect bug_number via "Run Application" or terminal window.», from FAQ.
