vishyofel_: could you ping me when you are available for triaging a few kubuntu bugs ? :)08:44
anderskBug 586711 had importance High before being marked as a duplicate of bug 546794.  In that case, can someone set the latter to importance High as well?10:35

MichaWHi?17:51
crimsunyes?17:51
MichaWI raised a bug in Ubuntu a few days ago and was wondering if there's any way to get it looked at.17:52
MichaWUpstream already fixed it (after we notified them).17:52
nigelbbug #?17:53
MichaWhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnustep-base/+bug/58517917:53
ubot2Launchpad bug 585179 in gnustep-base (Ubuntu) "gnustep - parsing of XML property lists broken (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]17:53
MichaWReason being we're getting ready to release a new version of Oolite and this bug affects it on Lucid.17:53
nigelbdo you have an upstream bug number or commit ?17:54
MichaWhttps://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?2995517:54
MichaWUpstream already mentioned they won't backport the fix to gnustep-base1.1917:54
MichaWSo Debian/Ubuntu would have to do so. Unless they are prepared to upgrade gnustep-base to 1.20 in Lucid.17:54
nigelbok, then its get murkier17:54
nigelbunless its an isolated patch that fixes this particular bug, its difficult17:55
MichaWLooking at their commit diff, it's very isolated.17:55
crimsungnustep-base has a ton of reverse deps, so upgrading to 1.20 seems rather a long shot17:55
MichaWThat's what I thought :)17:56
crimsunit'd be much more feasible to cherry-pick fix(es) if possible17:56
nigelbugh, I hate cvs17:57
=== edson is now known as ecanto
MichaWI can make (&test) a suitable patch if this would assist.  Just wondering what the normal turnaround-time is for bugs in Ubuntu.17:57
MichaWIncidentally, the patch I submitted upstream was NOT used by upstream.17:58
vishheh17:58
siefcaHi, is the problem with mountall and encrypted partitions a common problem in Lucid? (Initialization hangs just after LUKS partition had been mounted and I need to press 'S')..18:00
nigelbMichaW: if you're willing to do the work, the turn around time is lower18:00
aburchBut it could still take forever :/18:01
MichaWnigelb: Ok.  We'd be pretty interested in getting this fixed as Oolite runs fine on all versions of Ubuntu prior to Lucid. In fact, the version of Oolite included in the normal Ubuntu repositories is broken by this bug too.  And most likely other gnustep based software.18:01
nigelbaburch: +1 to that ;)18:02
nigelbMichaW: ok, first thing would be fix it for maverick.  Then you can propose an SRU for this bug for lucid.18:02
nigelbUnless its fixed in maverick, its tough to get a fix for lucid.18:03
MichaWYikes. Even though Lucid is a LTS?18:03
MichaWOk, anyway I'll see about getting a patch for maverick together this weekend then.18:04
nigelbYou have to understand that if things go wrong, it might introduce a very bad regression18:04
* MichaW nods.18:05
MichaWLooks like regression testing failed to pick it up in the first place though :) (By upstream as well as distros).18:05
nigelbSo, SRU team needs a lot of documentation.  How it works.  If it introduces regressions, etc18:06
penguin42there is a 10.04.1 due sometime, there's an OOo bug I have that's been marked for that18:06
nigelbI would suggest pushing it to a PPA for lucid, so you can test and others can test and check if there are regressions.18:06
nigelb!sru18:07
nigelberr.. what was the one for sru?18:07
hggdhMichaW: why wass the patch rejected by upstream?18:07
hggdhhttpsdon't remember the fatoid, but here's the source: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates18:08
MichaWhggdh: I just reverted their changes which introduced the bug.  They decided to fix it in their changes rather than revert to their original code.18:08
nigelbthanks hggdh :)18:09
nigelbMichaW: the custom library thing?18:09
hggdhMichaW: oh, so it was just a revert. Be sure to state what your patch is doing, and what are the consequences18:09
MichaWnigelb: Yes. They were using it anyway in case the xml2 parser failed. Apparently there's some bad XML files from Apple which don't parse properly using a 'real' XML parser.  Their custom parser works for that.18:10
nigelbMichaW: ah, ok18:10
MichaWhggdh: The patch I'd prepare for Ubuntu would be their changes, not the changes I supplied to them.18:10
nigelbJust so that you know SRU needs a *lot* of ground work, so be prepared with everything thrown at you :)18:11
hggdhMichaW: OK, even better18:11
MichaWWell, it needs fixing :) So I'll see if I can work my way through the bureaucracy.18:11
penguin42what's the right thing to do with a bug that looks valid but is obviously against the wrong package?18:12
nigelbIts not bureaucracy per se.  Just making sure that things are going to be fine after this patch.  The last time I did an SRU, I introduced a bad regression and had to run around a bit18:12
hggdhset it to the correct package, penguin4218:12
nigelbpenguin42: ask which is the right package :)18:13
penguin42hggdh: It's a suspend/resume display issue so I guess either linux or the xserver, but since he's reported it against firefox it has no useful information on the hardware18:13
MichaWnigelb: Yes, I understand. Just the 'be prepared to handle everything thrown at you' comment sounded like there might be a lot of 'paperwork' involved.18:13
penguin42is there a tag for suspend/resume issues?18:14
hggdhpenguin42: IIRC it will be against linux. Please ask the OP to 'ubuntu bug linux <bug#>'18:17
penguin42OP?18:17
hggdhpenguin42: or just reset the package to linux, and the OP runs 'ubuntu-bug <bug#>ยด18:18
hggdhOP == Oroginal Poster18:18
hggdhOriginal, even18:18
hggdhthe reporter, I mean18:18
penguin42ah, I didn't know you could run ubuntu-bug with the number18:18
hggdhdarn! I should have respected Saturday18:18
hggdhcannot write anytihng18:19
hggdhhell18:19
hggdhhey nigelb, how did the python go?18:19
MichaWnigelb: One more question.  Do I raise a separate bug for maverick, and attach my proposed patch to that?18:23
penguin42does anyone know what size size_t is on 32bit?18:24
hggdhMichaW: raise the bug to Maverick, and nominate it for Lucid. When Maverick gets the fix, lucid will be in for SRU18:24
hggdhpenguin42: 32?18:24
penguin42that's what I'd assume18:25
nigelbhggdh: apparently, running from subprocess always makes problems.  going for a new approach now18:25
MichaWnigelb, hggdh: Many thanks for your assistance with this.18:26
nigelbMichaW: no problem  :)18:26
nigelbhggdh: I'm going to get python to send the mail to debian btw directly18:27
nigelbbts even18:27
nigelbarrg, can't type today I guess18:27
stentenQuestion: Let's say I tell someone to enable Apport and recreate their resume X crash. Will Apport allow the report to be appended to the bug report, or will it create a new one?20:35
penguin42stenten: apport-collect can add, not sure if that's the best way20:45
dgtombsstenten: no, it'll create a new report20:58
dgtombsbut in that case it might be better to file the new one and made an old one a dupe20:58
dgtombsanyone here into kernel triaging?20:58
dgtombswell, whenever anyone shows up: bug #376793 has been tested in upstream kernel and doesn't exist. according to KernelTeamBugPolicies, i think it should now go into the Triaged status21:04
ubot2Launchpad bug 376793 in linux (Fedora) (and 2 other projects) "HP 2140 Lid Close Not Detected (affects: 16) (heat: 110)" [Unknown,Unknown] https://launchpad.net/bugs/37679321:04
dgtombsi also suggest that the importance is Low and not Medium21:05

SalmonSamI'm trying to get some information about a memory leak in nautilus with valgrind however the log doesn't appear to contain much information ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/441466/ ) , do I need to install more debug symbols?21:10

stentenWhat package should I assign bugs to where the keyboard is unresponsive on boot?22:24
stentenI figured it was either 'linux' or 'xorg-server'22:25
penguin42stenten: If it isn't just X then I'd say linux22:35
penguin42stenten: Can you ssh in?22:35
stentenpenguin42: Not sure. I'm just assigning bugs that don't have any packages.22:39
penguin42can you show me the bug?22:39
stenten#58361322:40
stentenbug #58361322:41
ubot2Launchpad bug 583613 in ubuntu "Upgrading super os 9.10 to 10.04 will not reboot from harddrive after install (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/58361322:41
penguin42stenten: It says command line so I think it is linux22:42
penguin42it sounds like X didn't start22:42
stentenAh. Because X isn't running if it spits you into a command line?22:42
penguin42however, it's possible X started and crashed22:43
penguin42yeh22:43
stentenMy thought was that even if it's an X issue, it'd be a KMS issue so it'd be linux anyway.22:44
penguin42not necessarily, it could just be a duff X driver - KMS only switches modes, it doesn't actually do most drawing23:20
* penguin42 gently wonders about the origin of the phrase 'mode' for a screen resolution - I know the old Acorn machines had it back in '82 but was that the 1st? (OT)23:22
RunePhilosofWould it be acceptable to sru a package even though the fix is rolling back the fix for another (less important) bug?23:43
