nigelbvish, I just got busy in other areas.01:22
crimsunnigelb: so is 5 May the actual date? I was confused between in being referred to as "Saturday"01:23
nigelbcrimsun, yes... its May 5th, Wednesday01:23
crimsunalso, I'm traveling internationally, so I have no idea what my schedule is like01:23
crimsunabout the only time I know definitively is the following week01:24
nigelbaah, you can check out on the last few days if you can pitch in for an hour or so01:24
nigelbcrimsun, if real life is getting in the way, no problem, I'll be asking lots of people :)01:25
crimsunalso, I have a milestoned bug assigned to me that I can't easily debug due to lack of time, lack of hardware, and lack of in-depth knowledge of ARMv7 asm01:27

Joeseph64Metacity crashes periodically on my hardware in Lucid Beta 2. However, it gives no error message, so what information should I add for reproducibility?02:48
dboy10.04B2...libjpeg62 found in respository, libjpeg NOT found...is this a bug?02:51
micahgdboy: does a package require libjpeg?02:55
dboyyes. I think this may have something to do with Deb move to libjpeg7 from libjpeg6202:58
micahgdboy: which package?02:59
dboyDeb lists say dont build pkgs with libjpeg62 anymore...but thats the one still in lucid02:59
micahgdboy: we don't have libjpeg7 yet in ubuntu02:59
dboywell for instance konqueror (koq-plugins I think)03:00
micahgdboy: not the version in lucid03:01
dboyyea ok thats prolly it thx03:02
micahgdboy: transition, I would guess, would be in lucid + 103:02

damasceneyoasif, pm?03:51
yoasifok03:51
mrburnsdamascene: i think you just type in the address for the new page that you want to create then you can use select from a template or empty page03:54
damascenemrburns, couldn't do it. does not seem to have the choice03:54
damasceneI just wanted to open a page with the name mlterm03:56
damasceneso I can add some information on a project to implement it with the RTL languages03:57
damascenemrburns, could you start a page with the name Mlterm for me?03:57
micahgdamascene: just navigate to it after logging in03:57
mrburnshere i will walk you through it03:57
mrburnsenter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/mlterm03:58

damascenewhat template should I chose for a program?04:00
damasceneI want to put information about mlterm and the possibility to have it installed for RTL languages04:01
mrburnsrtl team has a page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RTLTeam you could use their template04:02
damascenegot it. but there should be a page to discuss mlterm04:03
mrburnsyes you can create your page (mlterm) and create a link to each others page04:07
Linux000First bug fix - Would a DEP-3 header go in the debdiff as plain-text, no marks or anything?04:08
micahgLinux000: it goes in as part of the patch04:09
Linux000Thanks04:13
damascene is it possible to upload photo to the wikipage?04:14
mrburnsdamascene: i think so...click attachments toward the top of the page you are creating then file to upload see what that does04:17
mrburnsdamascene: then once that is uploaded enter code in the wiki page something to the effect [[Image:filename.jpg|thumb|alt=alt text for screen readers.]] depending on what you want04:20
mrburnsdamascene: this should give you a start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_tutorial04:21

biff2kplus1So I just joined the bugsquad and I had a question about triaging a bug that is fixed in a newer version...04:23
micahgbiff2kplus1: what's the question?04:24
biff2kplus1A bug exists in the latest version of OpenOffice for 9.10 but testing it with the OO ppa or 10.04's OO the bug is fixed04:25
biff2kplus1would one mark it Confirmed or Invalid?04:25
micahgbiff2kplus1: did you confirm the bug in 9.10?04:27
biff2kplus1yes04:27
micahgbiff2kplus1: well, then, if it's fixed in Lucid, then probably Fix Released04:28
micahgbiff2kplus1: it's preferable if you have an upstream bug that's shown as fixed when marking it fix released, though04:28
biff2kplus1ok i didnt find a duplicate but i'll do some more checking around04:29
micahgbiff2kplus1: well, you could check the changelog upstream for 3.2 to see if it was listed04:30
biff2kplus1ah good idea04:30
drclueHowdy all, trying to curry a little interest in Bug 518608 that I filed back in February. At one point the drive caddy in question actually worked, then after some upgrades it did not. I figure this had something to do with a special devices entry to correct an errant device reporting type SCSI when it was actually IDE.04:36
ubot4`Launchpad bug 518608 in linux (Ubuntu) "unable to mount ID 04ce:0002 ScanLogic Corp. SL11R-IDE IDE Bridge (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51860804:36
drclueI did not know that bringing up an actual bug report in a channel about bugs was such a conversation killer ;)04:47
drclueAll right friends romans and countrymen , I have an old piece of gear , an IDE drive caddy (as described in bug 518608)05:03
drclueThis caddy apparently returns a bogus inquiry value indicating a SCSI device.  At one time this device was supported I expect05:03
drcluethat there was some sort of special device entry that remapped it back to ID (just a guess) and somewhere along the line this entry got retired or superseded. I could I guess hack my OS , but in my school bus out here in the middle of nowhere I have a dozen computer bricks and a few mid towers  and it would be a real time burner to make the hack and keep the hack05:03

drclueThe bug report has been there for a couple of months with no interest and I just want to give the bug a nudge as the cure is already in the code pile somewhere and I think just needs to be pushed back into the distro update stream05:06
drclueThis is on of those bugs that should require absolutely NO NEW CODING , but rather simply some copy-n-paste somewhere05:09
zeroseven0183I have a question. I've come up on a bug report that suggests a correct Russian translation for Pidgin. This should be handled upstream, right? Or do we have a translation team for this package? Thank you05:11

micahgzeroseven0183: add the ubuntu-translations project05:12
zeroseven0183Thank you!05:13
drclueI'm more than happy to trade coding , as while I have been coding for over 30 years those areas I work in do not focus on this area and although I could code it myself it would not be the best application of my skills05:14
micahgdrclue: you're more likely to get an answer for this in #ubuntu-kernel , might not get a response for another 6 hours though05:14
micahgdrclue: or at least until the start of european business hours05:15
drclue[micahg] Thanks for the suggestion, I'll make some noise over there too. I'm not looking for a fast food drive through cure. Being one who donates thousands of hours each year , I know better than to wish for instant gratification05:16
damasceneit this good https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mlterm05:32
damascene:)05:36
damascene* is it05:36
zeroseven0183Is there a feature in Launchpad or an application that summarizes the bug reports you're subscribed to or have been triaging so you can easily monitor them?06:55
zeroseven0183Something like a program that will list all the bug reports you're involved, those that were updated within 4 weeks, those that does not have replies for some time other than manually going to Launchpad and checking the bug reports...?06:56
zeroseven0183Anyway... just a thought. Perhaps suscribing to the bug report is the best way to monitor the bug report as of now.06:59
micahgzeroseven0183: yes, subscribing is goof06:59
micahg*good07:00
micahg:-/07:00
zeroseven0183The only concern I have when subscribing is that replies will fill up my inbox. Although it's not a big problem when you're using Gmail07:01
micahgzeroseven0183: filters :)07:02
zeroseven0183Yup. I was just thinking of summarizing the bug reports.07:02
micahgzeroseven0183: set your gmail contact on LP to youraddy+lp@gmail07:02
micahgzeroseven0183: that's the easy filter07:02
zeroseven0183I mean, a summary or a list which includes last modified07:02
micahgzeroseven0183: you can also filter on header07:02
zeroseven0183Yes. I already applied filters to bugs and it's fun07:03
zeroseven0183Gmail is really a big help to bug triagers :-)07:03
micahgzeroseven0183: thunderbird works fine :)07:03
zeroseven0183I might try it some time07:04
zeroseven0183I just have to improve my triaging skills for now07:04

baptistemmpersia, I have a question about rfcomm, pand and dund, why there is not init.d script provided in the bluez package?19:53
baptistemmhow people are supposed to have these daemon started?19:54
persiabaptistemm: My personal opinion is that the right way to handle those is to add udev hooks, so that the services start when the hardware is detected.19:55
baptistemmbut currently there is nothing :)19:56
yofelbaptistemm: which release are you talking about?19:57
baptistemmbut yes I could add an event for those (actually I was looking to bug 416056)19:57

yofelI was looking at the package descriptions, and it seems that both pand and dund are deprecated in bluez 419:58
persiabaptistemm: Yeah.  I think we had an init.d script in jaunty, and that got lots of bugs about pan0 being defined when the hardware had no bluetooth support.19:58
yofelI have rfcommd running here though (Kubuntu)19:58
baptistemmyes there are but actually there is not even init.d scripts for then, which is a real bug IMHO19:59
yofelwell, if you add one it should be a upstart script anyway19:59
baptistemmpersia, which upstart we could perhaps do something20:00
baptistemmyes20:00
baptistemms/which/with/20:00
baptistemmyofel, I wonder how rfcommd was started20:00
baptistemmhmm, actually bluez provides rfcomm and not rfcommd20:00
persiabaptistemm: No, really, I think it should be udev scripts, not upstart or init.  Essentially, we only want to start the services when the hardware is present.20:01
yofelah, correction, I have krfcommd running20:01
baptistemmpersia, as bluetoothd starts only on udev, we could rely on it to start the other deamon (actually i don't know a lot about udev rules)20:03
persiabaptistemm: That makes sense to me: just use the same mechanism.20:04
persiayofel: Do you have bluetooth or IR hardware available for krfcommd?20:05
