[00:22] <jbuncher_> can someone help me fix my plymouth splash on lucid?  Running on intel chipset, but booting from grub 1 installation
[04:12] <mrnoun> Hey everyone. I am trying to build a package, before I modify it. I am trying to use debuild, is this the proper way?
[04:14] <micahg> mrnoun: try #ubuntu-packaging
[04:15] <mrnoun> okay thanks, ill probably be back when im trying to patch it
[05:55] <cshong> Hello! Can someone help me? I need to know which package is related to my bug, so that I can make report.
[05:56] <ddecator> cshong: have you tried this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage
[05:58] <cshong> Tried to look at that website. Even looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting still don't know which package related to the bug. Let me describe the problem now.
[06:01] <ddecator> sure
[06:04] <cshong> I purchased a new laptop (came with Windows 7) and installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. There is no eject button on my DVD drive, but there is a eject button on my keyboard to open the DVD drive. The button does work during BIOS boot screen and also work when using Windows 7. But, after I boot into Ubuntu, the button not working anymore in Ubuntu, still not working even if I try to restart to Windows. I have to turn off the laptop and turn on again to make the
[06:04] <cshong> button working. This problem just after boot into Ubuntu.
[06:06] <ddecator> i feel like i've seen that before. let me look on launchpad a sec
[06:12] <cshong> Found one at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/569994
[06:12] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 569994 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "eject hotkey fails to eject cd on gnome lucid (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Low,New]
[06:12] <ddecator> good find, i was only seeing one for mac laptops
[06:12] <ddecator> s/one/ones
[06:13] <ddecator> cshong: if that's what you're experiencing, then go ahead and mark that it's affecting you =)
[06:15] <cshong> Marked. But, if I can know which package is related, may be I can just leave a comment here to tell the developers.
[06:22] <cshong> So, no other possible ways to know which package?
[06:24] <ddecator> sorry, i'm not familiar with bugs dealing with key-bindings. others more familiar with bugs in that area probably know, but this is a slow time for this channel. it's likely that the developers will know what package it should be assigned to
[06:28] <cshong> I subscribed to the bug, and already run apport-collect command to send some information. Hope this can help the developers.
[06:31] <cshong> I am going to leave this channel now. If anyone have anything to tell about the bug, please leave the comments on the bug web page. Thank you and have a nice day.
[06:32] <ddecator> cshong: see you later
[06:44] <Laibsch> I'd appreciate if somebody familiar with modems and dial-up (pon, gnome-ppp) took a look at bug 574192.  Would further information can I provide?

[08:44] <kermiac> hi BUGabundo_remote :)
[08:44] <BUGabundo_remote> kermiac: ready for a new release or what?
[08:45] <kermiac> another one? I'm still up to my neck in lucid installs hehe
[08:46] <yofel> morning
[08:49] <kermiac> howdy yofel :)
[08:51] <BUGabundo_remote> yofel: get on your Marks, get set, GOOOOO
[08:53] <arand> So... I first ran tasksel and selected "virtual machine host" then ran it again, and now it's uninstalling my system as we speak, how amusing
[08:53] <BUGabundo_remote> lol
[08:54] <arand> *ran it again, removing the virtual machine host selection...
[08:57] <BUGabundo_remote> LOLOL
[08:58] <BUGabundo_remote> next it will remove your phisical network card :)
[09:01] <arand> Oh nice, it pretty much cut the system headless, /me is not amused
[09:02] <yofel> it didn't remove grub?
[09:03] <arand> yofel: no, but everything even remotely desktop-y, down to xserver-xorg
[09:03] <arand> Dang! Even notify-send is gone, no irc-pings for me :(
[09:05] <BUGabundo_remote> arand: $ sudo rm --no-preserve-root /
[09:08] <arand> Might as well, I'm just trying to figure out if there is anything on here in need of saving before I reblast the backup image... Gah, it removed vim!
[09:14] <arand> Hmm, what would I attach to the bug report apart from dpkg.log and a few well choosen swearwords?
[09:19] <BUGabundo_remote> ahah

[13:18] <arand> For the apt tasks that are used by tasksel (e.g. virt-host^), is "tasksel" the correct package to report bugs against?

[15:29] <BUGabundo_remote> again?
[15:29] <BUGabundo_remote> ehe
[15:32] <arand> BUGabundo_remote: Well, I've actually narrowed down the (highly reproducable) cause quite neatly, just wanting to make sure the package is the correct one.
[15:32] <arand> Since those tasks can equally be installed using " apt-get install taskname^ "
[17:51] <cmeiklejohn> Hi there.
[17:53] <BUGabundo_remote> hey cmeiklejohn
[17:55] <cmeiklejohn> I was just wondering if someone could help me diagnose something.
[17:55] <cmeiklejohn> I have a thinkpad edge, and the volume keys were working fine this morning.
[17:55] <cmeiklejohn> And, have been for weeks.
[17:55] <cmeiklejohn> But, all of a sudden they stopped working.
[17:56] <cmeiklejohn> I've attempted to debug this with keymap, which registers events for the skipsong events, etc, but not for volume, or brightness.
[17:56] <cmeiklejohn> Just wondering what the next step might be to further debug this.
[17:59] <cmeiklejohn> NICE.
[17:59] <cmeiklejohn> hahaha
[18:03] <astraljava> cmeiklejohn: Care to explain what's so funny? Or is it something only you can see? ;)
[18:06] <cmeiklejohn> Hahaha, oh nothing.
[18:56] <RunePhilosof> https://help.ubuntu.com/ is not up-to-date
[18:56] <RunePhilosof> it lists the current stable version as 9.10
[19:12] <om26er> hmmm
[19:30] <charlie-tca> Should have a bug filed for that
[21:35] <RunePhilosof> where would I file a bug against the site https://help.ubuntu.com
[21:37] <yofel> RunePhilosof: please read the bottom line on that page
[21:37] <charlie-tca> According to the page: To report a problem, visit the bug page for Ubuntu Documentation
[21:40] <RunePhilosof> great :)

[22:10] <yofel> meh, it would be nice if the retracer could set bugs to confirmed once a crash gets a duplicate
[22:12] <hggdh> yofel: indeed, my bad
[22:12]  * hggdh is cross-eyed now
[22:12] <yofel> heh
[22:12] <hggdh> yofel: I am not even sure the patch still applies, old version targeted
[22:13] <micahg> yofel: I would suggest filing a Malone bug for when a bug that's NEW gets a duplicate, it moves to confirmed
[22:13] <hggdh> \+1
[22:13] <hggdh> good idea

[22:58] <yofel> Ok, I'll do it then
[22:58] <hggdh> yofel: it would be something to find out where the bad line came from... but I doubt we will be able to
[22:59] <yofel> indeed, but for now I would rather fix wifi-radar so that it doesn't crash but rather gives a sane error message instead
[23:09] <hggdh> it should be simple, just add an exception handler for this. But how will you know what was wrong?
