kermiacddecator: pong03:02
kermiachey mate :)03:02
ddecatorkermiac: i saw you're still sitting on the list of potential bugsquad mentors. did you want to become a mentor, or is that from when you were looking to possibly get a mentor?03:02
ddecatorand hey to you too =)03:02
ddecatorer, the list of people applied to the team..03:03
kermiachmm... I thought I took myself off that list03:03
kermiacthat was from ages ago when i thought having a mentor was a required step to getting onto bug control03:03
ddecatorah, haha, i wondered. i was going to take you off, but wanted to make sure it wasn't because you wanted to be a mentor. you gonna take yourself off or do you want me to decline you?03:04
kermiacfeel free to decline me mate :)03:05
kermiacI don't honestly know how to remove myself hehe03:06
ddecator heh, alright, will do03:07
kermiacthanks ddecator :)03:07
ddecatorkermiac: no problem =)03:08
Blue11i am in an endless loop trying to report a bug05:23
micahgBlue11: how so05:24
ddecatormicahg: beat me to it =p05:24
Blue11I am trying to report a bug, it sends me to a page, I click on report a bug, and that's as far as it goes05:25
ddecatoron Launchpad?05:25
Blue11yes05:25
micahgBlue11: why not use ubuntu-bug?05:25
Blue11what is that?05:25
wgrantDid you read the page that Launchpad sent you to?05:25
Blue11the problem btw is with the gnome-typing-tutor05:26
Blue11yes05:26
ddecatorterminal command, uses apport to get info for the report and help you file the bug. you use "ubuntu-bug <package>"05:26
Blue11i am here:  Filing bugs at Launchpad.net05:26
wgrantBlue11: Why did you go to that section?05:27
wgrantThere are several before it.05:28
Blue11right but none seem to work05:28
Blue11the ubuntu-bug wants the pid - okay I give it the pid05:28
wgrant!doesn't work05:28
ubot4`Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.05:29
Blue11says the specified pid does not belong to a programme05:29
wgrantPerhaps then give it the application's name.05:29
Blue11it says the package does not exist - its probably part of something else, but I don't know how to get that.05:30
micahgBlue11: easy hack is: ubuntu-bug `which gnome-typing-tutor`05:32
Blue11yes05:32
micahgif you don't know the package name but the binary05:32
Blue11it says /usr/bin/gnome-typing-tutor05:32
micahgright05:32
Blue11that was the first thing I did -- was the which -- but i can't seem to get past the loop05:33
micahgBlue11: there shouldn't be a loop05:34
micahgBlue11: you should get a page asking for a title05:34
micahg*subject for the bug05:34
Blue11i agree - maybe I'll try again tomorrow when I am fresh05:34
micahgBlue11: are you logged in?05:35
Blue11yes05:35
micahghmmm...idk05:35
Blue11here's the loop: I go to this page:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu and click on report a bug - then I am taken to this page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs where if I click on the link in this line, "If for some reason you cannot file a bug through the Apport  tool you can file one via Launchpad. " I am taken back to the first page05:37
micahgBlue11: that's your problem, you should just use ubuntu-bug05:38
Blue11micahg: I have tried that with no success, it wants the pid, which I give it, then it says the package doesn't exist -- suggestions?05:38
Blue11if I try the name it also tells me package does not exist05:39
micahgBlue11: use the trick I gave you05:39
micahgubuntu-bug `which gnome-typing-tutor`05:40
Blue11 it says you need to specify a package or pid.  See help for more information05:41
micahgBlue11: which version of Ubunut05:41
Blue11hang a sec05:41
Blue11using 10.04 beta with 2.6.32-21 kernel05:42
Blue1132 bit05:42
micahgweird, you should be able to use /path/to/binary, crash report, pid, or packagename05:42
ddecatorBlue11: how do you run the typing tutor?05:43
Blue11yes05:43
Blue11I get a command line in 9.10 but a gui (for ubuntu-bug) in the 10.0405:43
Blue11not tutor - monitor05:44
ddecatorso gnome-typing-monitor?05:44
Blue11yes05:45
Blue11the ubuntu-bug works in 9.10 but seems broke in the 10.0405:45
micahgseems to wfm05:46
Blue11as they say -- YMMV05:47
ddecatormicahg: which command does?05:47
* micahg tried ubuntu-bug `which firefox`05:47
ddecatorah05:47
ddecatorubuntu-bug 'which gnome-typing-monitor' did nothing for me, but i might not have it installed05:47
micahgddecator: you have to use backticks05:48
ddecatoroh hey...05:48
Blue11no no05:48
Blue11ddector05:48
Blue11if I try this:  gnome-typing-monitor05:49
Blue11** Message: The typing monitor is already running, exiting.05:49
ddecatorworked for me..05:49
Blue11so I know it's there -- and it does have a pid - but the icon is never displayed, and it gets NO cpu time05:49
Blue11okay we'll chalk this up to a YMMV then...05:50
ddecatorright, so it's running, but did you enter it right into the terminal?05:50
micahgBlue11: are you using backtiks?05:50
Blue11when I run it - no05:50
micahgBlue11: no, when you use ubuntu-bug05:50
* ddecator may have never used backtiks before tonight05:50
Blue11yes05:50
micahghmmm05:50
Blue11i did use the backtics when I tried the ubuntu-bug05:51
Blue11I'll post it on pkill-9.com and be done with it I guess -- thanks05:51

giantpunehey boys, i have a issue maybe somebody can help me out.08:38
giantpuneive just installed ubuntu 10.4 in vmware.  it installed fine.  but there is no way i know to change that keyboard layout.  usually it asks during the install.  but this installer didnt let me choose08:39
giantpunethere also is no desktop.  but i think that after i am able to type into the terminal, i can take care of that08:39
vishgiantpune: ubuntu+1 for support .. :)08:42
ddecatorgiantpune: since you're using 10.04, you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1 to see if anyone else has come across a similar problem08:42

stazhello, is there a way to determine which version of a package is included in one of the live cd?09:31
stazuse case : some user reported a bugs saying a bug occur in live cd X but I think a new version of the package which fixes the bug has been released since then, how do I check that?09:32
stazoh nvm found it09:33
stazot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/561734 any idea where this bug should escalate?09:43
ubot4`Launchpad bug 561734 in gnome-games (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "quadrapassel doesn't start: Failed to initialise clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context (affects: 10) (dups: 3) (heat: 74)" [Medium,Confirmed]09:43
ddecatorstaz: can you explain what you mean by "where this bug should escalate"?09:48
LiveWireBTHi09:48
ddecatorLiveWireBT: hey09:49
stazddecator: where to move it, upstream dev said the bug isn't in the program but in the distro or in the graphical drivers09:50
LiveWireBTThis bug is not a bug in pulseaudio but a bug in indicator-sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/53209509:50
ubot4`Launchpad bug 532095 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 2 other projects) "Changing left/right balance in sound-preferences changes the output volume slider (affects: 25) (dups: 6) (heat: 176)" [Low,Confirmed]09:50
ddecatorstaz: unfortunately no, i'm not familiar enough with error like that to know which package it should be filed against. but several people are subscribed and it seems to have a decent amount of attention, so hopefully someone with more knowledge on issues like that will see that and know what to do09:53
ddecatorLiveWireBT: let me take a look09:53
ddecatorLiveWireBT: what makes you say it's assigned to the wrong package?09:55
LiveWireBTopen gnome-volume-control09:56
LiveWireBTnah ... pasted line break09:56
ddecator?09:57
LiveWireBTopen gnome-volume-control, change balance -> volume changes down to zero, remove indicator applet, try changing the balance again -> works, add indicator applet -> broken again09:58
ddecatorhm, it's likely the sound applet that's "in" the indicator applet09:59
LiveWireBTthat's what i mean09:59
ddecatorLiveWireBT: add a comment detailing that finding. i'm hesitant to change it since daniel and sebastien are very familiar with sound issues like this, so i don't want to change it. they can look into what you found and determine if pulse is still the underlying cause or not10:00
LiveWireBTindicator-sound interferes with other applications that try to change the volume independently for each speaker like gnome-volume-control or pavucontrol10:01
LiveWireBTok i'll do10:01

kingj_Bug #532984 should be marked as being of critical importance, and special attention should be given to its 'duplicates'. The bug seems to be a bug in plymouth that is preventing people from booting Lucid installs/upgrades, or even the LiveCD.14:32
kingj_A quick glance through the bug reports/comments shows that some may be misfiled as duplicates because they saw a GLib warning, even though the circumstances are different.14:32

taxmanHi, I read the howto and finding the right package, but they didn't help me find what package to report accessiblity issues against. The new livecd boot process doesn't give an option for turning on the accessibility features the way previous ones did. Is that an ubiquity bug?16:14

tenochslbHow do i report related to Network Manager?16:29
om26ertenochslb, ubuntu-bug network-manager16:29
tenochslbYeah but what info do i need, cause nothing crashes so apport is not able to help me?16:30
tenochslbit is just that my wireless stopped working on the beta version of lucid lynx16:31
om26erJust curious, when will my @ubuntu.com ID activate?16:31
yofeltenochslb: did it work in the alpha or in karmic? did you upgrade or install fresh? what wireless chip do you have?16:31
yofeltenochslb: and does it show the  wireless interface at all or just won't connect?16:32
tenochslbI did and upgrade from karmic but the alhpa version was working fine with wireles it was a recent update from last week that caused the problem16:32
tenochslbi does not show the wireless connections available and when i connect an ethernet cable internet works16:33
nigelbom26er, should be ready by now16:33
yofeltenochslb: do you have an older kernel installed that you could try?16:33
om26ernigelb, its not16:34
tenochslbyofel: i do know, kind of a novice in ubuntu16:34
nigelbom26er, how did you test it?16:34
om26ernigelb, sent an email from my own email (gmail)16:34
nigelbom26er, (a) thats the wrong way to test (b) I tested, it isn't ready16:35
nigelbom26er, ask someone in #launchpad tomorrow.  They should know16:35
nigelbmine was ready after 2 days16:36
yofeltenochslb: check in your package manager if you have linux-image-2.6.32-20-generic or -19-generic installed, -21 is current16:36
om26ernigelb, will do16:36
tenochslbyofel: ok let me do that16:36
yofeltenochslb: or just reboot and hold shift pressed on boot to get to the grub menu and select an older one than the one you're currently using16:36
yofeltenochslb: then see if it works with the older one, if yes: reboot into the broken kernel again and file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux', if not file a bug against network-manager16:38
tenochslbyofel: 2.6.32.21.22 is the one installed16:39
persiaom26er: nigelb: Ask in #canonical-sysadmins, rather than LP, but ask during a weekday (timezone varies)16:40
nigelbpersia, I didn't know about that channel16:40
nigelbpersia, that channel seems deserted16:41
yofeltenochslb: ok, do you have any older ones still installed? they don't get auto-removed16:41
nigelbah, #canonical-sysadmin16:41
tenochslbyofel: what do you mean by older ones installed? you mean in the synaptic manager?16:41
yofeltenochslb: yes, or just reboot and check the grub list, would be easier, they should be installed if you didn't remove them16:42
tenochslbyofel: the previous with  20 at the end is marked with green16:43
yofelthen it's installed16:43
tenochslbyofel: so you want me to do the reboot and choose an older version?16:44
yofeltenochslb: yes, to see if a change in the kernel broke the wireless interface16:44
tenochslbyofel: ok let me try it16:44

om26erwhat does bugpattern-needed mean exactly?19:04
persiaThat someone needs to define a bugpattern for that class of bugs.19:05

vishpersia: om26er  bugpattern-needed tag means the bug is occurring too many times and it would just be easier to add a pattern for apport linking it to the bug rather than keep having dups19:31
persiaOh, bugpatterns are for apport?  That makes sense.19:32
vishso every time the crash occurs , the user just gets "this bug has already been reported , is there any other information that is missing , kindly add it "19:32

hoctopusThere is a bug in the Update Manager at least as far as mainstream users are concerned. A mainstream user would read, the system is up to date, not knowing that they have to click on the check button rather than trust what they are reading. This is mis leading to a new user.23:08
BUGabundohoctopus: supposely it will self refresh every 7 days23:08
bcurtiswx3BUGabundo: have you had ubuntu check disks at startup recently?23:09
hoctopusstill ought to be fixed as 7 days is sloppy security23:10
persiaIt's done that way by design.23:10
BUGabundobcurtiswx3: I run aptitude update every 4h23:10
BUGabundoso NO23:10
persiaUsers with more stringent security requirements are encouraged to update more often.23:10
BUGabundohoctopus: aren't security updates checked every 3 days ?23:10
aciculasoftware sources says daily here23:11
aciculabut not sure if that or weekly is the default23:11
hoctopusI just know it fooled me so I was just thinking of the next guy23:11
aciculawell ussually update-manager is started by update-notifier after observing there are updates, doesnt this situation only occur when you decide to start update manager yourself23:12
hoctopusyes23:12
hoctopuswhat I would recommend is when you start update manager yourself is that it prompt with a password and a message stating to click on the check button23:14
persiaOr have it automatically check on startup if it's connected to the network: presumably the user wants to check if they are running update-manager manually.23:16
