| trinikrono | hey guys | 02:19 |
| trinikrono | if i have a bug filed a against a package | 02:19 |
| trinikrono | and it says that is crashed on resuming from hibernation, should i file it against linux also? | 02:20 |
| hggdh | trinikrono: what crashed? The application, or Linux? | 02:23 |
| trinikrono | hey hggdh, the application , in this case it was checkgmail | 02:24 |
| trinikrono | i meant if to file it against the kernel also (linux package) | 02:24 |
| hggdh | trinikrono: right now I see no reason to open a task for linux | 02:25 |
| trinikrono | okie | 02:25 |
| trinikrono | was jut curious here | 02:25 |
| hggdh | what might have happened is (something like) checkgmail tried to use the network just after resuming, it was not yet there, and the appl crashed | 02:26 |
| hggdh | until something can be tied to kernel resume, this is still only an application issue | 02:27 |
| trinikrono | hggdh: next one bug 151226, i believe this bug can be closed now | 02:27 |

| trinikrono | the question is weither it is invalid or fix released | 02:28 |
| trinikrono | since it works fine now | 02:28 |
| trinikrono | it is a pretty old bug they filed | 02:28 |
| hggdh | trinikrono: state it is working on <release>; the bug was opened against Hardy, it seems. Hardy desktop is still supported | 02:31 |
| hggdh | trinikrono: it is not invalid, anyways, this is a real bug. It can go to either wontfix or fix released | 02:33 |
| hggdh | from where it is now | 02:33 |
| hggdh | but I would still keep it open | 02:33 |
| trinikrono | okie | 02:33 |
| trinikrono | i was thinking fix released | 02:33 |
| trinikrono | we dont have a response for fix released? | 02:35 |
| hggdh | trinikrono: sorry, got busy | 02:54 |
| trinikrono | well i found a nice one on the responses page | 02:54 |
| trinikrono | i am sending out gentle reminders on bugs now | 02:54 |
| hggdh | trinikrono: usually, when (say) a Lucid bug gets fixed on the Maverick version, we willclode the bug fix released | 02:54 |
| hggdh | but, in this case, this was opened on Hardy, and lagged unresolved until Lucid | 02:55 |
| trinikrono | well its okie now | 02:55 |
| hggdh | so... yes, you can close fix released. BUT -- make sure you write down the workaround in the bug description | 02:55 |
| trinikrono | no workaround now | 02:56 |
| trinikrono | it just works now :D | 02:56 |
| trinikrono | before they where complaining about dependcies when installing the package | 02:56 |
| trinikrono | but now it works fine | 02:56 |
| micahg | hggdh: hi :) are you familiar with a lack of context menu on indicators? | 02:56 |
| hggdh | hi micahg. I guess you mean the lack of left-click actions? | 03:08 |
| micahg | hggdh: right click :) | 03:10 |
| hggdh | micahg: sorry, the usual confusion on left-handed people ;-) | 03:10 |
| hggdh | micahg: IIRC, this is proposital -- there should not be any need of conext menus on indicators | 03:11 |
| hggdh | (which, I agree, is a major change in paradigm) | 03:12 |
| micahg | hggdh: right, I was wondering if you could pen a canned response quoting that lack of need, I see bugs frequently reporting the issue | 03:12 |
| hggdh | micahg: oh. K. I will research the official explanations, and try something | 03:13 |
| micahg | hggdh: thank you, feel free to hand off to someone else that might know more :) | 03:13 |
| hggdh | micahg: easy, everybody knows more than I do :-) | 03:13 |

| trinikrono | what is the issue here? | 03:25 |
| trinikrono | clearly i am confused lol | 03:25 |
| micahg | trinikrono: actually, I think the user just wants the latest zeitgeist | 03:25 |
| trinikrono | so its a package request for zeitgeist? | 03:26 |
| micahg | trinikrono: not really sure | 03:26 |
| micahg | trinikrono: you could ask the user to clarify the request | 03:28 |
| trinikrono | for real | 03:28 |
| trinikrono | ima gonna use the !vague thing | 03:28 |
| trinikrono | also can i assign it to firefox? | 03:29 |
| micahg | trinikrono: k | 03:29 |
| trinikrono | or just make sure what he is doing first | 03:29 |

| drew212 | micahg: do you have time to tell me what should be in a proper bug report? | 03:30 |
| micahg | drew212: bug or crash report? | 03:30 |
| drew212 | crash | 03:30 |
| micahg | drew212: k, so, a proper crash report will contain a coredump that can be retraced by the retracer | 03:31 |
| micahg | drew212: what | 03:31 |
| micahg | drew212: what's uploaded is a .crash file by apport | 03:31 |
| micahg | drew212: the problem is not everyone's machine can generate these | 03:32 |
| micahg | drew212: the alternative is a local gdb backtrace | 03:32 |
| micahg | drew212: questions? | 03:32 |
| drew212 | aren't there times where apport fails? | 03:32 |
| micahg | drew212: yes | 03:32 |
| drew212 | so how can we tell whats a good one and whats a bad one? | 03:33 |
| micahg | drew212: well, the retracer will tell you if it can't do the job (i.e. *-retrace-failed tags) | 03:33 |
| micahg | drew212: otherwise, you might see some of the files from a .crash attached to a bug w/out the coredump and stacktraces | 03:34 |
| drew212 | so how do we get a local gdb backtrace if it fails? | 03:34 |
| micahg | !backtrace | drew212 | 03:34 |
| ubot2 | drew212: To get a backtrace of a failing application please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace | 03:34 |
| drew212 | are there times when apport gets a successful backtrace but it doesnt contain the information needed? | 03:36 |
| micahg | drew212: yes, flash can be a good example | 03:36 |
| drew212 | is there anything in the files i should look for? (an example would probably be beneficial) | 03:37 |
| micahg | drew212: well, it takes practice to read a backtrace | 03:38 |
| micahg | drew212: the stacktrace and threadedstacktrace files should be what to look at | 03:38 |
| drew212 | alright | 03:39 |
| drew212 | micahg: ill hit you up if i have any questions later, thanks! ;-) | 03:41 |
| micahg | drew212: k, np | 03:41 |
| micahg | drew212: it took me quite a while to be able to read the stacktraces usefully | 03:41 |
| trinikrono | micahg: what should i do if users complain about a memory leak in a application in a bug | 03:49 |

| micahg | trinikrono: that I don't know :) | 03:57 |
| trinikrono | i must say it looks like quiet alot of work to do | 03:58 |
| micahg | trinikrono: memory leaks aren't easy things to fix | 04:02 |
| trinikrono | should i look for a upstream bug now? | 04:02 |
| trinikrono | micahg: it appears to be upstream also, so i will go and put the link to the upstream bugtracker | 04:08 |
| micahg | trinikrono: great | 04:09 |

| * micahg hasn't contacted them yet | 04:39 | |
| trinikrono | i am one | 04:39 |
| ddecator | micahg: oh, didn't know you had two | 04:39 |
| micahg | ddecator: yeah, and I can't handle any right now, all I can do is answer quick Qs | 04:40 |

| micahg | ddecator: np, we help each other :) | 04:41 |
| trinikrono | ddecator: you know i am now reading about the launchpad email interface, its good right? | 04:41 |
| ddecator | trinikrono: i've never actually used the email interface, but i've seen comments submitted that way | 04:41 |
| trinikrono | ddecator: maybe because your inbox is beyond repair lol? | 04:42 |
| ddecator | trinikrono: haha, only at the moment. i keep meaning to tackle all of my bugmail, but other things keep coming up | 04:43 |
| trinikrono | ddecator: you ever had to track a memory leak? | 04:43 |
| ddecator | trinikrono: can't say i have.. | 04:44 |
| ddecator | trinikrono: other than watching top to see if memory usage skyrockets | 04:44 |

| trinikrono | i wanted to try out the email interface, but it says i need to sign messages =\ | 04:52 |
| trinikrono | i use gmail | 04:52 |
| ddecator | sign like with a pgp key? | 04:53 |
| trinikrono | yes, i regeistered the one in launchpad | 04:53 |
| micahg | trinikrono: you can use gmail w/Thunderbird for signing | 04:56 |
| trinikrono | what about evolution? | 04:57 |
| micahg | trinikrono: idk, probably | 05:01 |
| ddecator | seems like there would be a way | 05:01 |
| * micahg is on the Mozilla Team, not GNOME :) | 05:01 | |
| trinikrono | lol you guys dont use the email interface much? | 05:01 |
| * ddecator uses gmail in prism :) | 05:01 | |
| trinikrono | shucks | 05:21 |
| trinikrono | looks like im with you guys on the thunderbird bandwagon | 05:21 |
| ddecator | i can't get used to tb until it has conversation style threading | 05:23 |
| micahg | ddecator: well, you get message based threading | 05:23 |
| ddecator | micahg: yah, i enabled that, but i didn't like it as much | 05:24 |
| nigelb | micahg: how do I change default template for thunderbird mails? | 05:43 |
| nigelb | file-> save as -> templates doesn't work :/ | 05:43 |

| nigelb | if its thursday in your tz, yes | 05:54 |
| ddecator | so yes :) | 05:55 |
| ddecator | idk if i ever got an email saying what the focus is.. | 05:55 |
| * micahg got the emails but forgot | 05:57 | |
| micahg | fontconfig :) | 05:57 |
| ddecator | huh...i wonder if my filter accidentally caught it | 05:58 |
| ddecator | huh, the one from two bugdays ago did, but i never got one for today's :( | 06:00 |
| trinikrono | apparently you can just reply to the bug email address and it comes up in launchpad with pgp keys or anything | 06:22 |
| trinikrono | i mean none | 06:22 |
| ddecator | yah, it shows up as a comment | 06:27 |
| trinikrono | so how do we triage font bugs lol? | 07:37 |
| trinikrono | i saw something in QA wiki that said i should assign myself to a bug until a bug triaged, does that stand? | 08:14 |
| kermiac | trinikrono: only assign yourself to a bug report if you intend to fix the bug | 08:33 |
| trinikrono | :D, thats what i thought must be a old wiki | 08:34 |
| kermiac | trinikrono: have you got a link to that wiki page? | 08:34 |

| kermiac | trinikrono: I experienced the same behaviour as the last comment in that bug report | 09:40 |
| trinikrono | nice | 09:43 |
| trinikrono | so just to find a upstream bug then we can triage it? | 09:44 |
| kermiac | trinikrono: yup, that seems like the right way to go (although I'm def. not an expert in that package). FWIW asac set that bug to triaged over a year ago & somone (wrongly) changed it to confirmed | 09:50 |
| trinikrono | so you will put it back to triaged and i will close it? | 09:52 |
| trinikrono | ouch and they say to use it on a wikipage | 09:55 |

| jpds | Pici: ŧ | 16:15 |
| jpds | Pici: Which packages is it missing for example? | 16:15 |
| Pici | jpds: All of them? There simply isn't a binary-i386 folder in (for example) http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-backports/universe/ | 16:16 |

| dutchie | perhaps there should be a bug against whatever allowed them to mess up their system ;) | 18:24 |
| psusi | I mean like if say, they filed a bug report against nethack because they were playing that when their system crashed, and now they can't boot or access the filesystem and are asking for help repairing the system to boot or at least recovering their data... that doesn't really belong in a bug report does it? | 18:28 |

| htorque | hello, a "New" bug was fixed with an update - should i mark it "Fix Released" or "Invalid"? | 21:27 |
| BUGa_LegendSeker | you don't | 21:28 |
| BUGa_LegendSeker | LP should do it | 21:28 |
| BUGa_LegendSeker | if the package states the bug | 21:28 |
| htorque | no it doesn't, the bug is "New"/"Unconfirmed" | 21:29 |
| psusi | if it was fixed intentionally it will automatically be marked fix released.. if the user just finds that the problem does not occur with a new version, that is different | 21:30 |
| htorque | i _assume_ it was fixed due to an intentionally fixed other bug (a race condition - the bug(s) i'm talking about are SIGSEGVs) | 21:33 |
