| Corsario | Hi everybody | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Corsario | I dunno if I'm the only one with problems on my sound board. Can anyone help me? | 01:00 |
| Corsario | When I used Ubuntu 9 it's ok, the sound work properly, but now, I formatted and installed Ubuntu 10.04 and this doesn't recognize my sound board AC97 | 01:03 |
| micahg | Corsario: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 01:04 |
| Aquina | That's a bit unlikely. Have you activated all that stuff in your mixer? | 01:04 |
| Corsario | In the mixer doesn't appear the hardware | 01:05 |
| Corsario | And the only 'exit' I have is a false exit | 01:07 |
| Corsario | It's hard... I tried to follow the page /DebuggingSoundProblems but I simply din't find my sound board... | 01:20 |
| Corsario | When I type lsmod | grep -i snd, it doesn't return anything | 01:21 |
| arand | There's quite a bit of new activity on Bug #329146 which I reported back in Jaunty prerelease, and had since disappeared.. Should new reproters be directed to a new bug report or should it be reopened? | 04:28 |

| shishire | I just marked bug 485225 as confirmed, and confirmed that the proposed patch does in fact fix the bug. I've never been on this end of the bug-tracking system before, what happens now? | 06:04 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 485225 in ftgl (Ubuntu) "Won't link when using ftglGetLayoutBBox (affects: 2) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/485225 | 06:04 |
| arand | shishire: subscribe ubuntu-reviewers and add the patch tag... I think | 06:06 |
| persia | That's almost never right | 06:07 |
| persia | There's a script that does that in some cases. | 06:07 |
| persia | Hm. It is right in this case. I don't understand why :( | 06:08 |
| shishire | this bug is slightly unusual in that upstream probably won't respond, the original developer has been awol for almost 2 years now. Does that change anything? | 06:09 |
| persia | Not really, no. | 06:09 |
| persia | I just don't understand why it didn't get auto-subscribed. | 06:09 |
| arand | Hmm, might be that the script sometimes fails... | 06:11 |
| persia | Indeed, although I suspect the number of cases where the team shouldn't be subscribed exceeds the number where it should. | 06:11 |
| arand | Hmm, is it more when there's a proper debdiff ready, that that should happen? | 06:12 |
| persia | No, debdiff goes to sponsors, not reviewers. | 06:14 |
| persia | Anyway, let's focus on the fix, rather than the potentially messy process. | 06:16 |
| persia | So, several things need to happen, as follows: 1) someone should make sure the patch is documented in the upstream bug in case someone else adopts upstream, and make sure the patch is known in Debian. | 06:17 |
| persia | 2) Someone needs to prepare an upload (for either Ubuntu or Debian) and get the patch included in the package. | 06:17 |
| persia | 3) Someone needs to make sure that the upload is included in the latest Ubuntu release. | 06:17 |
| persia | shishire: How much of that are you up for doing? Any? All? | 06:18 |
| lithper1_ | somebody submitted a new package request (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/486914), this request has been granted, and a new package crated. however, the status is still "New". is this normal? | 06:18 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 486914 in ubuntu (and 1 other project) "[needs-packaging] Create package: J (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Wishlist,New] | 06:18 |
| persia | lithper1_: Yep: it's a bug in the way that changelog-closes-bugs works. Just mark it Fix Released if the package is now available in Ubuntu. | 06:18 |
| shishire | I'll document upstream. That's easy. I don't know how to do 2 and 3, but I'm willing to do so if someone can explain how | 06:18 |
| thekorn | good morning | 06:19 |
| ddecator | morning thekorn | 06:20 |
| thekorn | hey ddecator | 06:20 |
| persia | shishire: Great. Thanks. There's a high chance that 2) can be inspired by a well-written Debian bug with the patch attached, in which case 3) may be just a matter of tracking the status. Please feel free to ask if it seems stuck again. | 06:25 |
| shishire | There's currently no bug reports for the package in debian. Create a new one, upload the patch, and note it's fixed down in Ubuntu? | 06:26 |
| persia | Well, except that it's *not* fixed in Ubuntu :) | 06:26 |
| persia | But yeah, create a new bug report, and attach the patch. | 06:26 |
| shishire | ok | 06:26 |
| shishire | I'll link to the ubuntu report, and try to add it as a watch | 06:26 |
| persia | Most of the time the maintainer will include available patches in the next upload. if that doesn't happen for a while, then it's worth seeing about including it in Ubuntu (but it's lots of extra work to include in Ubuntu and then have to uninclude it later once it's included in Debian) | 06:27 |
| shishire | ummm...does "This source is not published in Debian" mean that the debian upstream doesn't have the ability to patch it? | 06:28 |
| * persia gets confused, and looks harder | 06:28 | |
| shishire | oh... wrong bug tracker | 06:29 |
| persia | It is so published in Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/ftgl.html | 06:29 |
| persia | Heh. Right. patch to sourceforge in the existing bug, patch to Debian in a new bug. | 06:30 |
| persia | Make sure there are LP watches for both bugs. | 06:30 |
| dholbach | Development and MOTU Q&A Session in #ubuntu-classroom in 20m | 06:41 |
| shishire | ok, pushed it upstream: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580451 . I'll check on it tomorrow | 07:14 |

| shishire | this process has interested me. I'm signing up to join the bugsquad, and I'll see if I can't help squash some bugs :D | 07:18 |

| zus | when are patch days? | 08:02 |
| ddecator | bah, i need to help out with one of those sometime.. | 08:03 |
| persia | Once in a while. This is the first one, and no firm regular schedule has been determined. | 08:03 |
| persia | ddecator: Well, since nobody knows when the next one will occur, you might want to jump in today :) | 08:04 |
| ddecator | persia: does it go the whole day? | 08:04 |
| persia | ddecator: It's for the entirety of 5th May, anywhere on the globe, which means it ends in about 4 hours. | 08:05 |
| ddecator | persia: i'm about to go to bed =( | 08:05 |
| persia | Well, you can try to review one quick before you sleep, or you can stop by another day (although there might not be as many people working with you at the same time). | 08:06 |
| ddecator | not enough time unfortunately, but i'll hop in the channel and see if i can't help here and there | 08:07 |
| baptistemm | hello | 08:12 |
| ddecator | hey baptistemm | 08:12 |
| zus | i just caught up,... patch day is all of may 5th? | 08:15 |
| persia | Yep. | 08:15 |
| zus | hehe for the last 3 hours its been may 6th. talk about being a day late and a buck short | 08:16 |
| persia | 3 hours? Depends where you are. | 08:16 |
| nasevz | hi | 08:16 |
| persia | It's still 5th May in some places, so there's a few more hours to go. We'll keep at it until 5th may hits the international date line, and is no more. | 08:17 |

| baptistemm | heya ddecator | 08:17 |
| baptistemm | hello persia | 08:17 |
| persia | Hey baptistemm | 08:17 |
| nasevz | How can I report a bug when system is not bootable? I have the same bug as reported in forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457176 (No boot after kernel upgrade to 2.6.32-21 on Lucid Beta2) | 08:19 |
| nasevz | the same problem is with 2.6.32.22 kernel | 08:19 |
| zus | well, im header to bed, before i fall asleep on the keys, wich i havent done since world of warcraft - | 08:20 |
| zus | nighterz | 08:21 |
| zus | persia, thanks for the info on the patch days | 08:21 |
| persia | zus: Happy to share. The reviewers team always appreciates help, even on non-patch days, so drop by another day if you like. | 08:21 |
| zus | i saved the room =) | 08:22 |
| persia | nasevz: I'll recommend starting with `ubuntu-bug linux` once you got the system booted. | 08:24 |
| nasevz | ok, but I can't boot it with 2.6.32.21 or 2.6.32.22. If I boot with kernel that does work, I guess the bug would not be in the report. | 08:27 |
| persia | nasevz: Yeah, but I'm not sure how else to get the information about the machine the kernel team wants into the report. | 08:42 |
| BUGabundo_remote | triim triim, triim triim | 08:55 |
| arand_ | persia: (Hmm, likely more appropriate here): So it's sponsors rather than -sru that should be subscribed there? If so are you able to unsubscribe them? (I don't seem to be able now...) | 09:20 |
| arand_ | Also, should the plymouth taks be marked confirmed high as well, should I open Lucid tasks for it? And since there's two bugs, subscribe both or only one? The one which has loads of affected and steve assigned to it, or the one where the debdiffs and the testing reports are? | 09:24 |
| persia | -devel is appropriate. I can unsubscribe sponsors, but not sru. | 09:25 |
| persia | But it looks like both should be subscribed in this case, as the SRU procedure says to subscribe the SRU team, and then upload, and if one can't upload, one subscribes the sponsors team to have someone else upload it. | 09:27 |
| arand_ | persia: Ok, Should I mess with the status and open lucid tasks for the 571707 bug, and should I subscribe sponsors and sru to 553745 as well? | 09:39 |
| persia | For SRU, you need to mess with status and nomination. | 09:40 |
| persia | It's probably better to have the sponsors only subscribed to one bug (with the upload candidate that fixes both). | 09:41 |
| persia | But the SRU team would be subscribed to both bugs. | 09:41 |
| === pths is now known as pthsWork | ||
| arand_ | Ok, hope that turned out right now (seems the lucid tasks were already there), dunno if I shouldto request the "high" priority of the new plymouth task in 571707 from someone here? | 09:47 |
| persia | bug #571707 | 10:00 |
| ubot4 | persia: Bug 571707 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/571707 is private | 10:00 |
| persia | Well, shouldn't be private if it's an SRU bug. Might need privacy review :) | 10:01 |
| persia | Says public on the bug report though, so maybe the bot is confused. | 10:01 |
| Laibsch | How do I mark bug 48708 as affecting the Japanese Kaizen project (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-jp-improvement/) ? | 10:02 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 48708 in evince (Ubuntu) "evince should Suggests xpdf-japanese (or poppler-data when it'll be available) (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 4)" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48708 | 10:02 |
| persia | arand_: Let's wait for someone to approve the lucid nominations first. | 10:02 |
| Laibsch | When I click on "affects project" it wants to link in upstream | 10:02 |
| persia | Have you tried the "Choose another project" link? | 10:03 |
| persia | But I don't see the point: adding Suggests won't help. | 10:04 |
| persia | In fact, it's duplicate to something else | 10:04 |
| * persia hunts | 10:04 | |
| Laibsch | I agree that suggests won't help | 10:04 |
| Laibsch | I'm not necessarily advocating any solution | 10:05 |
| BUGabundo_remote | who in here is supporting chromium besides fta? | 10:05 |
| Laibsch | that ticket for me is about "evince on Ubuntu" has broken Japanese support in a normal installation | 10:05 |
| persia | OK. Generally we don't tend to use alsp-affects that much for the Kaizen project: many of the Kaizen bugs are in Japanese, and end up being translated (as new bugs). | 10:05 |
| Laibsch | I'm not familiar with how things are currently done | 10:06 |
| Laibsch | But I think the most sensible thing is to indeed translate the bug | 10:06 |
| Laibsch | and then either mark as dupe or do the translation in the original report | 10:06 |
| Laibsch | I did mark bug 190609 as dupe to bug 432736 a few days ago | 10:07 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 190609 in ubuntu-jp-improvement "firefox＋CUPS-PDF で日本語のファイル名が扱えない。 (dup-of: 432736)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/190609 | 10:07 |

| Laibsch | and now it's gone from the Kaizen overview | 10:07 |
| persia | Marking as duplicates hides stuff. | 10:07 |
| Laibsch | which is not good | 10:07 |
| Laibsch | it should still be there | 10:07 |
| Laibsch | IMHO | 10:07 |
| persia | Which is why duplicates aren't used for this. | 10:08 |
| persia | You might want to chat with nobuto or hito_jp about how the bugs in the Kaizen project are managed. | 10:08 |
| * persia undupes 190609 | 10:08 | |
| Laibsch | NOOO | 10:09 |
| persia | Why? | 10:09 |
| Laibsch | what's the use? | 10:09 |
| Laibsch | Look at the line I just added to the description | 10:09 |
| Laibsch | that's how it should be done | 10:09 |
| persia | For all 300 languages? | 10:10 |
| Laibsch | there's no use creating another Japanese island | 10:10 |
| Laibsch | with a bunch of ticket that don'T get fixed in Ubuntu proper | 10:10 |
| persia | That's not what that is. | 10:10 |
| Laibsch | but only make it in the Japanese remix | 10:10 |
| persia | There are an active set of folks that work on fixing those bugs in Ubuntu proper. | 10:10 |
| persia | And, generally, *every* triaged bug against the Kaizen project ends up being duplicate of some regular Ubuntu bug. | 10:11 |
| Laibsch | yes | 10:11 |
| persia | Which is by intent. | 10:11 |
| Laibsch | and they should clearly show that relation | 10:11 |
| Laibsch | sure | 10:11 |
| persia | Launchpad doesn't support that. | 10:11 |
| Laibsch | sure | 10:12 |
| Laibsch | sure it does | 10:12 |
| Laibsch | nobody prevents you from continuing discusion in a duped bug | 10:12 |
| persia | Not in original language. Anyway, please don't, or if you do, first confirm with nobuto and hito_jp that it is a desired change to the model. | 10:12 |
| Laibsch | and then somebody can bubble up a translation to the main, English-language ticket | 10:12 |
| persia | It doesn't work that way, because of how Malone notifications get sent. | 10:12 |
| Laibsch | ? | 10:13 |
| persia | So folks end up getting all the updates to *all* the dupes via email. | 10:13 |
| persia | And they complain about this when they can't read it. | 10:13 |
| Laibsch | so what | 10:14 |
| persia | So, the entire *point* of the Kaizen project is to allow folks who don't want to get the English updates to avoid it. | 10:15 |
| Laibsch | are you sure about that? | 10:26 |
| Laibsch | I thought it was the other way round | 10:26 |
| persia | How do you mean? | 10:26 |
| Laibsch | to have a safe heaven for the always-frightened-of-English crowd to express themselves freely | 10:27 |
| Laibsch | that's been my understanding | 10:27 |
| persia | Right, which is why it's not interesting to duplicate the bugs, because then that crowd gets the updates to the Ubuntu task as well, which frightens them. | 10:27 |
| persia | (because of how Malone notifications work) | 10:28 |
| Laibsch | I don't think so | 10:28 |
| Laibsch | I know they will get more mails | 10:28 |
| Laibsch | But I don't think it will frighten them | 10:28 |
| Laibsch | as long as they know they have their little "Japanese garden" where they are not expected to be talking English | 10:28 |
| Laibsch | so, this caters to all three types: | 10:29 |
| Laibsch | a) Japanese frightened of English | 10:29 |
| Laibsch | b) those comfortable with both camps | 10:29 |
| Laibsch | the gatekeepers | 10:29 |
| Laibsch | c) those not capable to speak English (most of the devs) | 10:29 |
| Laibsch | currently b) are not well-served and they are critical IMHO, because they are the ones breaking up the Japanese island | 10:30 |
| Laibsch | and getting things into the mainstream, Ubuntu proper | 10:30 |
| persia | I think that this is more on-topic in -jp : that said, the issue is that mail gets send in incomprehensible languages to some or other folks. | 10:30 |
| Laibsch | I get that all the time ;-) | 10:37 |
| Laibsch | usually has something about "stick" or "pole" in the subject | 10:38 |
| Laibsch | haha | 10:38 |

| charlie-tca | what about a gdb backtrace while running? | 11:45 |

| Laibsch | how does one determine the "dupeness"? | 16:46 |
| Laibsch | persia: thanks | 16:46 |
| persia | For crashes, I tend to check to make sure it's crashing at the same codepoint for the same reason. | 16:46 |
| persia | But it really depends on the bug. | 16:46 |
| persia | In all three of these cases, the stacktraces appear to have the same issue, so I'm guessing there's an incorrect cast or unsafe assignment happening. | 16:47 |
| Laibsch | OK | 16:49 |
| Laibsch | I think I understood that enough to be able to check myself in the future | 16:50 |
| Laibsch | persia: so, the other four would be dupes, as well, right? | 16:52 |

| Laibsch | lp-set-dupe doesn't do anymore what it was conceived for :-( | 16:56 |

| persia | JFo: That said, this is only true if there exists a package that contains that driver. | 17:30 |
| JFo | ok | 17:30 |

| joaopinto | GeekSquid, the lock is set, but since there is no password it doesn't ask you for a password to unlock | 21:58 |
| persia | jeandaniel: Hrm? No really, we focus on tracking and coordinating bugs here. Workarounds are usually handled by the #ubuntu crew. | 21:58 |
| persia | That doesn't mean we can't help you determine which bug you have and what information is required to get it investigated, but it does mean that we're not well-prepared to actually solve your issues directly. | 21:58 |
| persia | (and it's to get more information about the issue and make sure it got into a bug report that I suggested you come here) | 21:59 |
| micahg | jeandaniel: I apologize, I didn't know you were directed here | 21:59 |
| jeandaniel | no problem, I read the bug report, I am not sure it is adapted since it is three month old while my system was updated a few minutes ago. | 22:00 |

| jeandaniel | it is an update from an hour ago | 22:01 |

| jeandaniel | my system is an up to date Lucid system. installed from scratch at 9.10 | 22:01 |
| persia | Have you found a workaround that lets you boot, or are you completely unbootable? | 22:02 |
| micahg | persia: last kernel update had at least 2 GPT changes | 22:03 |
| jeandaniel | i face the bootcamp menu: grey background and two icons | 22:03 |
| persia | micahg: Yeah, and also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/508173 changed which may have moved the issue :( | 22:03 |

| jeandaniel | when I click on the linux icon labelled "windows", I expect to see the grub first stage but the screen show no changes | 22:03 |
| persia | That seems more like grub than the kernel, but I may be mistaken. | 22:04 |
| jeandaniel | it is completely unbootable for an experienced linux user | 22:04 |
| ddecator | maybe try reinstalling grub using a live CD? | 22:05 |
| ddecator | idk if that works differently on macs | 22:05 |
| jeandaniel | yes this is the enxt step, I am not an expert in grub tools though | 22:05 |
| jeandaniel | there was an explicit error message on aptitude saying "grub is unreliable in GPT mode" | 22:06 |
| persia | Well, making it boot is easy: boot off alternate media, and give it a funny kernel command line. | 22:06 |
| persia | But there's probably *lots* of folks that will run into this (at least all recent Apple hardware) | 22:06 |
| jeandaniel | this was in capital, so I expect the bug in the grib upgrade | 22:06 |
| arand | If preparing an SRU from version 2.14 (of mountall), should the version number be 2.14-0ubuntu1? ubuntu0.1? | 22:06 |
| persia | So we ought try to get a bug filed, which kinda means figuring out what bit to file agianst, and what information to add. | 22:07 |
| persia | arand: -devel would likely be a better place for that sort of question. I think it's 2.14.1 (because it's special for mountall). | 22:07 |
| jeandaniel | if there was a bug in the kernel I think I would have seen the grub menu | 22:07 |
| persia | arand: I believe mountall is differnt than most pacakges that way. | 22:07 |
| arand | persia: Ok, will reask, thanks | 22:08 |
| persia | Anyone done some grub triage? What information do we need? | 22:08 |
| persia | Nobody? | 22:12 |
| ddecator | =\ | 22:12 |
| persia | Looking at some other bugs against grub2, it seems like there's no apport hook for it. | 22:13 |
| persia | Anyone else have GPT hardware available to confirm? | 22:13 |
| jeandaniel | persia: maybe you should tell people with GPT hardware a simple test before asking them to upgrade and confirm | 22:16 |
| persia | What sort of test do you suggest? | 22:17 |
| persia | Basically, I'm hoping one of the folk regularly about can replicate and try to get fixed, so you can safely apply a workaround and get on with whatever you do with Ubuntu. | 22:18 |
| persia | If you're up for just filing the bug and waiting for developer feedback, that works too, but that might mean an extended time (especially since many developers are preparing for a week-long conference next week). | 22:18 |
| jeandaniel | persia: I am concerned about people not being able to reboot after the confirmation | 22:18 |
| persia | jeandaniel: When was the last time you updated before the recent one that caused the issue? | 22:19 |

| balachmar | ddecator: aah I see that is a bit nicer yes :) | 22:30 |
| ddecator | balachmar: but anytime you request more information, you should mark it Incomplete | 22:30 |
| balachmar | I cannot edit my comment now can I? | 22:30 |
| persia | jeandaniel: The mini.iso is designed to burn to business-card CDs. You'd need to convert it. usb-creator *might* work. The folks in #ubuntu might have other suggestions. | 22:30 |
| persia | balachmar: No. | 22:31 |
| ddecator | balachmar: it's not a big deal, the user should figure it out | 22:31 |
| jeandaniel | persia: ok, I'll ask there how to 'burn' the mini.iso to the key *from macosx* | 22:32 |
| balachmar | ddecator: Well yeah, but if I could edit my comment I would have done that. No need for an extra comment. | 22:32 |
| persia | Oh, heh. RIght. If you don't have a blank CD, you're probably stuck :( | 22:32 |
| yofel | balachmar: also, I guess you copied the response from somewhere else (as it's edited), you'll find the original here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Debugging%20Kernel%20General - Adapting it to the bug report (removing the unnecessary parts) would be nice ;) | 22:32 |
| ddecator | yah, i forgot to remove a part from a canned response a couple days ago and the user wasn't too happy with me >.< | 22:33 |
| yofel | balachmar: at least adapting it to the report in question makes it sound a bit less... mechanic | 22:33 |
| yofel | heh | 22:33 |
| ddecator | i guess i was "condescending" | 22:34 |
| balachmar | yofel: I did, I removed the part of jaunty. But I thought it might be useful know what to do if apport-collect doesn't work or something. So I kept the rest. | 22:34 |
| balachmar | How could I have improved my response? | 22:35 |
| yofel | balachmar: sure, but it still says 'If you use an older release ...' which sounds confusing | 22:35 |
| yofel | in this context | 22:35 |
| balachmar | yofel: Aah that is true. | 22:35 |
| balachmar | yofel: next time I will paste the apport-collect stuff. And the other method only when asked, because there are problems with apport-collect. | 22:36 |
| yofel | balachmar: here's what I just used somewhere else (for lucid): http://paste.ubuntu.com/429168/ [one apport-collect gone, python-launchpadlib should be installed on lucid by default and removed notice to older release] | 22:37 |
| balachmar | By the way, how do you guys test if bugs occur on your computer. I for example rather not install everything in my own running version of the OS, do you guys use a VM or is there a simpler or lighter method? | 22:37 |
| ddecator | live CD, VM, or if we use the software ourselves already | 22:38 |
| yofel | I'm an alpha tester so I don't mind having a lot installed, but if it's another desktop environment I use a VM or CD | 22:38 |
| ddecator | yofel: +1 | 22:38 |
| balachmar | ok thanks! Will first upgrade to lucid with this machine (it is a machine I use a bit less, so it has not been updated yet.) and then use testdrive. | 22:40 |
| ddecator | testdrive is really nice | 22:40 |
| persia | jeandaniel: I've just gotten some feedback from one of the updates testers, who has given me the procedure for making sure this gets reported as a regression. Would you mind filing a new bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+filebug?no-redirect | 22:41 |
| persia | I'll make sure it gets updated with the right information, but want to make sure you get appropriate notifications about the issue and it's solution. | 22:42 |
| jeandaniel | no problem, thanks for your help. I am currently fighting with putting the iso on the usb key from macosx | 22:43 |
| persia | jeandaniel: Good luck with that. | 22:44 |
| persia | jeandaniel: Just let me know the bug number once you've been able to file. | 22:44 |
| yofel | balachmar: something else: starting with lucid apport tags the bugs with the release the bug was reported against, 'lucid' in this case. When the tag is missing we usually add it, can you please do so for bug 576645? thanks | 22:53 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 576645 in linux (Ubuntu) "kernel cannot boot (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/576645 | 22:53 |
| balachmar | yofel: of course comma separated? | 22:55 |
| yofel | balachmar: no, space | 22:55 |
| balachmar | yofel: thanks :) done | 22:55 |
| yofel | balachmar: thank YOU for helping out ;) | 22:56 |
| balachmar | aah, the person already did it! Now I am not technical enough to read all the log stuff... | 22:56 |
| balachmar | yofel: well, I use Ubuntu a lot, so why not give back a bit of my time. | 22:57 |
| yofel | balachmar: and another thing, if you're really interested in doing kernel triage you should read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Bug%20Triage | 22:58 |
| balachmar | yofel: so I should move it to confirmed? because the apport has been done? | 22:59 |
| ddecator | balachmar: we only confirm when the same bug can be reproduced on a second machine | 23:00 |
| balachmar | ddecator: that is what I thought but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Bug%20Triage it says: Once all the information has been provided, the bug should be moved from an Incomplete state to a Confirmed state. | 23:01 |
| yofel | kernel team and desktop team are a bit weird, yes :P | 23:02 |
| ddecator | huh...that's odd | 23:02 |
| yofel | motu too actually, in general, don't touch kernel or packaging bugs when you find one, the status definition is a bit different for those teams (and fix committed for desktop team) | 23:03 |
| ddecator | heh, that's what i get for primarily working with one package =p | 23:04 |
| persia | Hey. *Please* touch packaging bugs. | 23:04 |
| balachmar | So it is better (for me) to let it stay on new? | 23:04 |
| balachmar | persia: meaning help with packaging new stuff into ubuntu? | 23:04 |
| persia | The only sorts that shouldn't be fiddled with are the *workflow* bugs: essentially freeze exceptions and syncs. | 23:04 |
| yofel | persia: I meant that as in 'Please sync/merge' or needs-packaging ... | 23:04 |
| persia | yofel: Ah, OK. | 23:04 |
| persia | balachmar: No, I meant that if someone reports a bug *in the packaging* it oughtn't be treated special: it's still a bug that needs triage like any other. | 23:05 |
| yofel | my fault for being vague | 23:05 |
| persia | Examples would be stuff like "missing dependency on foo" or "missing conflict on bar" | 23:05 |
| balachmar | persia: ooh I see. (Haven't seen one yet) | 23:06 |

| persia | jeandaniel: Thanks! | 23:07 |
| persia | balachmar: I forget the number, but I filed one against "linux" because `apt-get source linux` doesn't get the "linux" source code. | 23:08 |
| persia | (yet another example of a packaging bug) | 23:08 |
| robertzaccour | my logitech plug-in headset works fine though | 23:08 |
| yofel | balachmar: examples you shouldn't touch include bug 567208 or bug 493242 (if anything make sure the latter is tagged needs-packaging) | 23:08 |

| balachmar | Hi, just to ask for a second opinion on #151622 it got reopened lately, but only to mention another bug report about the same problem but in newer software. What should I do mark invalid (as it was) or mark as duplicate of the new bug report? | 23:53 |

| micahg | balachmar: you can mark the older one as a dupe of the newer one if you want | 23:57 |
| balachmar | ok, then I will do that. | 23:57 |
| micahg | balachmar: general rule is whichever bug has better information is the one to use | 23:58 |
