macosomething seems to have changed on lp. how do i upstream a bug? i see buttons to attach to project (which only lists other lp projects) or distro (which only lists other distros) but no way to say "and its reported upstream too" for things that *don't* use lp00:39
micahgmaco: you need to file the bug upstream and then attach it to the upstream project in LP00:41
macomicahg: how do i attach it to the bug though?00:41
micahgmaco: also affects project or distro00:41
macobut the project isnt in the "also affects project" list00:41
micahgmaco: which project?00:41
macoit used to let you give a link to an upstream bug tracker or click "reported to the maintainer"00:42
macoi want to click the "reported to the maintainer" radio button, and its gone00:42
macobecause this program doesnt have a public bugtracker00:42
macospim is the package00:42
micahgmaco: ah, you can check in #launchpad if there was a feature change, the projects I use all have public trackers, or you can file a bug against malone00:42
macomicahg: the ability to just give it a url for a public tracker is *also* gone00:43
micahgmaco: I think you have to register the project00:43
macothats silly00:43
micahgmaco: LP needs basic information before it can present options or relate info00:44

anmarhey guys. I need help getting a bug fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/53565304:34
ubot4`Launchpad bug 535653 in linux (Ubuntu) "System freeze during X start-up and while X is running, but only on battery. (affects: 3) (heat: 16)" [Undecided,Incomplete]04:34
persiaWell, the first step is to get it out of "Incomplete" status :)04:35
anmarpersia: yup.. .I am trying to figure out what it is missing so I can do that.04:35
persiaDoesn't look like JoF has done the magic kernel triage bits yet, and I don't know them.04:37
persiaAnyone familiar with kernel triage around?04:37
mranddmesg is the only kernel triage I know :-)04:37
mrandnot quite true, but close enough04:38
persiahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/AutomatedBugProcessing is the only thing I can find on the wiki.04:40
persiaSeems to imply that setting the status back to "New" does the right thing.04:40
persiaBut the issue is clearly Confirmed, based on the multiple reporters.04:41
persiaanmar: You might try running apport-collect against the bug, to see if it uploads anything interesting.04:41
mrandI was thinking the same thing.  persia, what do you think...  importance high based on potentially wide impact?04:42
persiaFor that?  Looks to only affect Thinkpad 100e users.04:44
persiaWhich makes it fall under the "specific hardware" thing.  Maybe "Medium"?04:44
persiaBut I think the kernel team likes to do stuff in a special way, so I tend to not triage kernel bugs.04:44
mrandgood point.04:44
anmarpersia: ok. I will try that.04:46
anmarpersia: thanks04:46
mrandgood points, that is.  I was thinking more generic laptop/acpi.  But it is currently only 100e specific04:46
persiaIndeed.  Very much doesn't happen on any of my laptops.04:47
mrandpersia: I think I remember reading that apport-collect may not let anmar attach stuff to that bug since it isn't his... might require opening another bug and dup'ing against that one.04:49
persiaThat'd be annoying.04:49
persiaLots of times reporters don't want to do stuff, or can't test latest, and if we can reproduce, we can do apport-collect.04:50
anmarpersia: looking at many logs. this patch seems to fix a few more issues:05:02
anmarhttp://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20100316230950.GA30415%40khazad-dum.debian.net&forum_name=ibm-acpi-devel05:02
persiaI'm inclined to agree with mjg59 that there's a better way to do it, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelPatches describes the procedure for getting the kernel team to handle a patch (although you may want to check on #ubuntu-kernel to see if there is updated guidance).05:11

persiaI'm not confident enough about that one: could be "low" or "wishlist".10:13

BUGabundo_remotehttp://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40865 chromium removing "http://" from omnibar ..... is a feature... for crying out loud :(10:16
etaliAhh, thanks.  Well Confirmed / Wishlist?  (I don't have a google apps domain myself, but I did check with a friend and he couldn't set it up on his)10:16
persiaetali: We prefer for folks to confirm things themselves, because the identity of the confirmer is tracked (and presumed to be an alternate contact for questions, etc.)10:18
persiaYou can set confirmed, but if you can't actually confirm it, that may be risky.10:18
etaliOK, thanks, I trust the guy I asked to try it, so I'll confirm it.  Hopefully he's not having a decaf morning :)10:20
Damascenehello10:37
Damascenehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/56213010:37
ubot4`Launchpad bug 562130 in language-selector (Ubuntu) "Selecting an RTL language should install and RTL capable terminal emulator (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]10:37
Damascenesomeone in ubuntu-devel said I should ask here10:37
persiaDamascene: I'd class that as Triaged/Low.  Does that seem right to you?  It affects a small number of users (comparatively), and has an easy workaround.10:42
persiaIt would be awfully nice to get VTE fixed (as I mentioned last time we discussed it), but it's trivial to install mlterm later.10:43
Damascenepersia, but it effects all the rtl languages users10:43
persiaI know, but that's a low percentage compared to ltr users.10:43
Damasceneyeah but you know many rtl users are going to install Lucid and they will increase :)10:44
baptistemmHi persia10:45
persiaDamascene: Well, what would you set, and why?10:46
persiaHey baptistemm10:46
Damascenepersia, medium because it effects large number and it's a usability issue10:47
Damasceneor low is fine10:48
Damascenebecause you can install it manually10:48
Damasceneand then I'll take care of heating it. God willing10:48
persiaDamascene: usability issues are explicitly low according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance .  Also, while I agree it affects a large number of users, I do not believe it affects a large proportion of users.10:51
persiaSo what do you mean by "heating"?10:51
Damascenewhen so much people select affecting me too and so much discussion about it10:51
Damasceneit got heated10:51
Damascenelike the vte bug have been heated10:52
persiaThis in no way affects what happens to it :)10:52
Damascenebug 26382210:52
ubot4`Launchpad bug 263822 in vte (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "RTL (right to left) support in terminal (BiDi) (affects: 13) (dups: 3) (heat: 114)" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26382210:52
persiaI'm fairly sure that this bug cannot be resolved for lucid.10:52
Damasceneme too10:52
Damascenebut the target is 10.1010:52
persiaAnd I think it would be better to solve the VTE bug in the future than do it this way.10:53
Damasceneit have been there for ages and there is no hurry10:53
Damascenebut vte developer wont fix it10:53
persiaWhat you need is a developer who wants to fix it.  Surely there exist some developers who prefer RTL who would be willing to work on it.10:53
Damascenedoesn't seem so. it's a known bug for long time10:54
Damasceneand mltem fixes it any way10:54
Damascene* mlterm10:54
Damascenethe problem is rising because the apt-get message are translated10:54
persiaLooks like the upstream VTE developer is actively interested in having a fix, but just has no idea how to do it correctly, based onhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321490#c1510:56
ubot4`Gnome bug 321490 in VteTerminal "arabic, hebrew: character alignment not working properly" [Normal,Unconfirmed]10:56
persiaErr, #c17 (sorry)10:56
persiaComment 11 is also very informative.10:57
Damascenehe said the fix is to rewrite vte10:57
persiaI think lots of folks know about it, but it really needs someone to sit down and code out all the corner cases and test stuff deeply to be fixed.10:57
persiaWhere?10:58
Damascenelet me get it for you10:58
persiaComment 9 says "Code-wise, does not modify the vte backends, but the vte internal buffer.10:58
persiaRTL text should be considered so by the terminal logic." which implies to me that rewriting VTE is not what is desired.10:58
Damascene"I have doubts about whether this feature will be implemented in vte ever,"11:03
DamasceneI heard about rewriting the code from a friend11:03
Damasceneany way maybe mlterm can do better in embedding than vte in RTL11:04
Damasceneboth need some work11:04
Damasceneby the way what about east asian languages? does vte support them?11:05
baptistemmpersia, to whom could I request to have some right on ~bluetooth group?11:22
persiaWhat sort of rights?11:22
baptistemmuploads package in the groups to have wider audience for testing11:24
persiaOh, you want to upload to the PPA?11:24
baptistemmand approve membership request11:24
persiaI suspect it's a step-by-step process: first join the team and make it life again, second ask to be an admin.11:25
baptistemmI'm already member I guess11:25
persiaI'd recommend asking StevenK in #ubuntu-devel to be a member.  I'll certainly vouch for you, as I expect will some of your sponsors.11:26
baptistemmah no, but no one proceed to the approval11:26
persiaHe seems to be away right now, but maybe tomorrow morning.11:26
persiaNo, you're a "proposed member", which is not quite a member :)11:26

pedro_bdmurray, mind reader!17:08
pedro_bdmurray, thank you17:08
micahgpedro_: well, I was suggesting that the CoC be signed so that people changing status won't be doing it randomly, but something similar was discussed17:08
bdmurrayI don't think we want barriers to entry that high17:08

pedro_micahg, thanks17:09
qenseI agree that users should be able to mark a bug as Confirmed without having signed the CoC. There is something to say for requiring the CoC for chaning statuses like In Progress and FIx Released/Committed, but that would make it harder for users to say a bug came back.17:09
pedro_right, the title on the agenda was a little confusing, but that clarifies things now17:10
qenseIt would be a good safety mechanism against people that wrongly believe their bug is back.17:10
hggdhbbordwell: done17:10
bdmurraywe need lots of help due to the volume of bugs and making things more challenging makes it harder for people to help17:11

hggdhall in all, the amount of spam is pretty low17:11
qenseIt is only disturbing at some very large bugs. But those are rare.17:12
bdmurrayFor large bugs there is a bug report about "locking down" a bug which might help17:12
hggdhbut I agree that assignments should be limited17:12
qensehggdh: +117:13
qenseLocking down for a limited set of bugs sounds like the best solution for vandalism.17:13
qenseWikipedia uses the same approach.17:13
pedro_hggdh, yeah, like giving the rights to do that to the bugcontrol team/bug supervisor17:14
hggdhbe aware that this will mean extra work for a few, and a new set of capabilities (who can lock down, who can unlock, etc)17:14
qenseWould we want to give that permission to all Bug Control members?17:14
pedro_I've seen a lot of common mistakes on that, like assigning something to a triager, or even to the reporter, just because they find a field which is empty so why not put your own name there, eek17:15
bdmurrayI don't recall the locking down bug bug number nor its current status17:15

pedro_let's move to the next item17:18
pedro_3- The status of Adopt-a-Package (and its item at the the Blueprint), in other words: what still needs to be done? -- qense17:18
pedro_The project is looking amazing so far ;-)17:18
qenseYeah, the list of adoptees has seen a slow but constant growth over the past few months.17:19
pedro_but we're missing a few contributors (adopters) on the big products like openoffice for example17:19
qenseHowever, I've noticed that most people seem to focus on a small package, probably something they feel personally attached to. That's nice, it's what the project wants.17:19
qenseBut17:19
qensethe larger packages are left alone.17:19
bencrisfordmost of the large packages are way too much work for one person though17:20
qensethat is what I wanted to discuss, plus what was needed for the task item for adopt-a-package to be marked at pedro_'s blueprint, but that's already marked as DONE.17:20
bencrisfordwe need more teams adopting packages, or groups of contributors17:20
qenseyes, that's why it was proposed to adopt them with a team. But apparently people find it had to form a team out of the blue.17:20
qenseWe need to accommodate the forming of teams somehow.17:21
pedro_qense, right, that was for the desktop packages the team was worried about, that's well covered but we're missing as you said more contributors on the biggest ones17:21
qenseindeed17:21
pedro_should be this something that we could cover at UDS, having a session about it with the developers+community team?17:21
pedro_some of those products (ie: openoffice again..) doesn't have a good documentation for doing triage17:22
om26erI like the concept of smaller teams. it will create passion for people to work17:22
qenseWould it be worth a whole UDS session? Maybe we could discuss this for the whole Adopt-an-Upstream project in relation to this.17:22
pedro_if you want more people involved in your project, helping you, that's step #117:22
qenseI do think that this can use a wider discussion.17:22
pedro_so we need to talk with those developers  and nudge them to write that doc or to say to us where we should look for that info17:22
qenseYou'd have to ask Jorge or Daniel to be sure, but iirc the AdoptUpstream teams have never got big as well.17:23
qensepedro_: UDS session: +1 :)17:23
pedro_let's review this initiative on UDS and give the experience of the BugSquad so far17:24
qensesounds good17:24
hggdh+117:24
pedro_i'm sure good things are going to be done there ;-)17:24
qenseWho will register the UDS session?17:24
pedro_qense, i'll do it and ping jorge and dholbach to attend to it17:25
pedro_and also will invite some devs17:25
qensepedro_: great!17:25
pedro_their opinion is key here17:25
qenseyes17:25
qenseI'm looking forward to this session.17:26
pedro_alright, that's all we have on the agenda , is there AOB ?17:26
bencrisfordpedro_: id like to say thank you to everyone who took part in the edubuntu bug day last week :)17:26
pedro_bencrisford, I'm glad to hear that the BugSquad is helping there too ;-))17:27
om26erpedro_, those documentations for bugdays dont seem to work for chromium. i.e how to setup for for bugday (MOIN_SESSION)17:27
* pedro_ hugs the rocking bugsquad17:27
qense:)17:27
pedro_om26er, did you managed to make it work with chromium?17:27
pedro_om26er, if you did it, may you please add some instructions for it?17:28
bencrisfordpeople normally forget about edubuntu, when in fact it really needs help, theres people using it for things like educating aids orphans and stuff, so im really glad that you guys have found us :)17:28
om26erpedro_, I was not able to, chromium shows MOIN_SESSION is at / but there seems to be nothing there17:28
pedro_i don't use chromium for bug work here17:28
om26erpedro_, oh ok17:28
om26eranyone else managed to setup for bug days using chromium?17:29
qenseom26er: you want to retrieve the MOIN_MOIN cookie?17:29
qensehugday tools isn't browser dependant17:29
hernejjom26er: I've done it several times with the standalone Google Chrome browser.17:29
qenseYou can see your cookies via Options->Settings for browser content->Cookies->View cookies17:30
qenseor something similar, I quickly translated it from Dutch17:30
om26erqense, chromium shows the location of MOIN_SESSION to be /root17:30
om26erhernejj, where did you find it?17:30
pedro_ok folks let's follow that up outside the meting :-)17:30
pedro_thanks all for attending!17:31
* thekorn hugs hernejj, thank you for the patch for the hugday tool, will review it later today17:31
qenseom26er: but that doesn't matter, doesn't it?17:31
hernejjthekorn: Thank you :)17:31
thekornand then om26er will get his chromium cookie for free ;)17:31
hernejjom26er: .config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies17:32
om26erqense, you have to import the file from its location17:32
qenseah17:33
hernejjThis is an sqlite database containing all your cookies. But as others have suggested, it seems easier to get the cookie using the browsers interface.17:33
qensewell, the path you see in Chromium isn't about its location but about the website path it affects.17:33
hernejjom26er: Another option: I recently created a modified hugday tool to automatically find the cookie without the user needing to specify anything.17:35
pedro_QUESTION: the next meeting is planned to be the May 11th but that week we're having UDS, shall we postpone that to be the Tuesday 18th of May? week after UDS17:35
hggdhpedro_: I think it is sane, most of us will be busy there17:35
qensevery sane17:35
qenseWasn't the meeting always postponed during UDS?17:35
om26erhernejj, where can I get it?17:36
hernejjom26er: It works for Google Chrome...but I'm not sure about Chromium.. I think I can easily support Chromium with a single line update. I'll do that now if you are interested in testing it :)17:36
hggdhwell, there was no meeting last year...17:36
pedro_i don't recall this meeting to be moved, the QA meeting was, yes17:36
pedro_ok i'll update the wiki17:36
qenseah17:36
qensewell, then no one showed up :)17:36
hggdhheh17:37
hernejjom26er: Give me a few minutes to add Chromium support ;)  Just need to add one path to a source file then push my branch.17:37
om26erhernejj, yes would be great17:38
hernejjom26er: You have two choices.. 1) A "new Deb" from my PPA (I'll just increment the minor version number by 1) ... 2) You can build/install directly from my ubuntu-qa-tools branch. Which do you prefer?17:45
om26erhernejj, I have google chrome too so I think I should just use the ppa17:47
om26erhernejj, link me to the ppa17:47
hernejjom26er: The current ppa version *only* support Chrome not Chromium. But if you are ok using Chrome then I'll forego updating the PPA for now and just give you the link to it :) Sound good?17:49
hernejjom26er: https://launchpad.net/~hernejj/+archive/ppa17:50
hernejjom26er: The package you are interested in is  ubuntu-qa-tools-0.1.4.4 (please note, this is *not* the official 0.1.4.4, I just made up the number)17:50
om26erhernejj, installed but how do I know its working?18:00
hernejjom26er: Once installed the command you likely want is this: hugday init --user=om26er18:00
om26erhernejj, wait for next hugday?18:00
hernejjom26er: You'll be told if cookie detection worked or not.18:00
om26ercookie detection succeeded18:00
om26erhernejj, yes it worked18:01
hernejjom26er: Yay! :) You can test it by editing ~/.hugday_config ...18:02
hernejjLook for this line       current = https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/2010040818:02
hernejjReplace the URL with .....     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkusKorn/HUGDAYTEST18:03
hernejjThen see if you can close an open bug18:03
hernejj129801 is open and it is the top one on the page.18:03
om26erhernejj, thanks alot I have to go now, there is a friend waiting. thanks again18:04

stazhi, I have a "Lucid installation CD  freeze my whole computer when booting and Lucid still freeze when booting after having installed it via the alternate  CD and I have to use the rescue mode" bug, which component should I report that on, and which info should I provide?18:07

tadasnHi, there is a very important bug with Ubuntu (and maybe other Linux OS). I have a laptop and when you close it without shutting down or suspending (or anything similar) Ubuntu, computer should go to sleep itself. So the lights on computer properly shows that computer has gone to sleep. It looks that everything is allright. But... when you open your computer you get only black screen and computer (or Ubuntu) doesn't wake up. Moreover, when you turn off c20:49
BlackZtadasn: have you already filed a bug?20:50
tadasnBlackZ: no. Sorry, now I really don't have much free time and I haven't tried to make that earlier...20:52
micahgblueyed: you should open an upstream task for bugs that need to be upstreamed20:53
tadasnBlackZ: I just wanted to tell you about the bug so it could be fixed.20:54
BlackZtadasn: the problem is that we can't without further information20:54
tadasnBlackZ: but what information should I give? Remember, I lose an OS, so all scan results too...20:56
BlackZtadasn: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs20:56
blueyedmicahg: well.. you're right: I just wanted to mark it, without filing it actually. I will fix it.20:57

bdoinI have a complete system crash on Lucid. I have a brain new Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series in a Dell Zino. Not sure this configuration is very common yet to be well tested. I am not sure how I can help.22:23
kai^sdshi. i have a problem on an uptodate lucid system. in main menu applet (the one which only displays the small ubuntu icon in the panel), i cannot select entries which do not fit on screen. i can scroll down (e.g. in the preferences menu) but when i try to select an item, the list of items jumps up and only show the upper items which can be seen without scrolling. i want to report this bug in launchpad but i cannot find out the associated packag22:40
charlie-tcakai^sds: probably xorg, sounds like resolution issues22:45
charlie-tcaAlthough if your menus are very long, they will have to scrolled since it could fill the screen and not show everything22:46
kai^sdshm. wouldn't have thought of that because everything works fine otherwise, but i do get a small notification in the upper right corner on startup that something about setting xorg resolutions does not work - so that makes sense somehow22:48
kai^sdswell, scrolling works as expected ...22:48
kai^sdsok. logging out to find out more about that message. brb ...22:51
seb128charlie-tca, it's a known gtk bug with themes activating the dynamic display of accelerators as the ubuntu theme is doing22:54
seb128charlie-tca, just for informations in case he comes back or you see the issue mentioned again, it's not an xorg bug22:54
kai^sdsusing nouveau instead of the proprietary nvidia driver makes the message disappear. the main menu applet problem remains however23:29
kai^sdsin which package is the main menu applet? it is not gnome-main-menu and from the description of gnome-applets it is also not in that one23:33
arandkai^sds: aptitude search menu suggests both python-gmenu but probably gnome-menus.23:46
