puffHi there... so, I'm experiencing a problem with ipw2200 on an IBM thinkpad t43p. I researched this a ways back and it looks like it's related to bug #352150. The conclusion seemed to be, "fixed in the newer versions of ubuntu", but I just reinstalled to lucid lynx and it's *definitely* still here.04:29
ubot2Launchpad bug 352150 in linux (Ubuntu) "ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting // randomly disconnecting (affects: 24) (dups: 6) (heat: 214)" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35215004:29
micahgpuff: file a new bug and reference that bug number05:03
puffmicahg: This page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs) says to use ubuntu-bug PID or ubuntu-bug packagename.  ubuntu-bug says that PID doesn't belong to any program.  What package should I file it against?05:07
micahgpuff: ubuntu-bug linux05:08
puffCool.05:09
puffCan I associate the ubuntu-bug-created bug with my launchpad account?05:10
micahgpuff: ubuntu-bug will open your browser where you can log into launchpad]05:12
puffHm, it lists the 352150 bug and wants to know if that's the bug I'm trying to report. It lists 352150 as triaged.05:14
micahgpuff: no, since you say it's not fixed, file a new one and mention that one05:14
puffI'm trying to think of anything else I can add to shed more light on it... any suggestions?05:18
puffHm, the launchpad page suggests checking this page for tips on what to put in the report, but the page isn't there:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies#DIY%20Debugging%20Hints05:25
puffmicahg: Submitted, Thanks for the help.05:25
puffArgh, timeout error from launchpad??05:26
micahgpuff: ugh, unfortunately, that might mean you have to submit again05:26
puffSigh... I just wrote a page of comments, dangit.05:27
puffOh well.05:27
micahgpuff: it's been a chronic issue as of late, hopefully it'll be fixed in the coming weeks, there's a bug open for it05:28
puff:-).05:28

vishkermiac: ok , cool , hmm , one month.. seems a long wait.. though  your time slot is the most wanted one and there are a couple of students waiting..  they had applied recently..09:07
kermiacvish: I would be happy to place him back in the queue & be assigned another one whilst he is busy. he explained that he is moving interstate & jobhunting, etc atm but he is very interested in triaging once his life settles down again09:09
vishkermiac: awesome! yeah , so I'll assign another student and lets see if he can be mentored within the month :D  or if you end up having 3 students  , we can switch mentors one later09:11

vishkermiac: sure ,that would work too , I was about to deactivate him from the team..09:15
vishkermiac: lets do that... just send him a mail..09:15
kermiacvish: maybe you deactivate him & then I get him to send a mail to the bugsquad ml when he's ready?09:16
kermiacoops, lag09:16
vishkermiac: hmm , yeah. either way works..  which shall we do?09:17
vishkermiac: lets deactivate , and you mail him asking to re-apply when ready and send the mail to BSquad ML09:19
vishkermiac: I'll send the same message while de-activating too.09:19
kermiacvish: If my timeslot is very popular maybe we should deactivate him.... yup, that sounds good mate09:19

pedro_vish, he matches hggdh times as well ;-)09:56
pedro_vish, updated09:57
vishpedro_: oh , actually had assigned him to sbeattie ... np with switching ;)09:58
pedro_vish, well if he's already assigned and working, there's no need to do the switching :-P09:59
pedro_sbeattie, did kangarooo contacted you already?09:59
sbeattiepedro_: no, not yet.09:59
pedro_ok, i'll ping him to know what's going on09:59

vishpedro_: wanted to ask.. the "how to become a mentor" mentions , "Send Monthly updates on the students' progress to the bugsquad-mentorship mailing list "10:02
vishbut there is no such mailing list... or is that BC list10:02
vishpedro_: oh , and stlsaint is waiting for ddecator10:04
pedro_vish, yeah that needs to be updated10:05
pedro_vish, better to send those updates to the BugSquad ML to those updates are available to everybody10:06
vishpedro_: ok , will do the change to BC list10:06
pedro_thanks vish10:06
vishoh..10:06
vishpedro_: but a mention in BC list will make it easier for others to +1 the approval to BC10:07
vishnot sure if BugSquad helps though it is available to all10:07
pedro_vish, well the candidate mention in their application that the mentor encourage him to join the BC team that's enough to be approved no need for a review10:08
pedro_since he has been closely follow up/reviewed  by the mentor10:08
vishcool!10:09
pedro_s/well/well if10:09
pedro_;-)10:09

pedro_ok cool!10:10
* pedro_ updating the wiki10:10
nigelbsbeattie: we were wonder if you folks would help with lernid.  the current config file is on jono's server10:14
nigelbpleia2 is in the processing of moving to canonical owned server with access to a few people10:14
nigelbwould you be intersted in an sru in that case?10:14
nigelbi.e. does it qualify for one when the reasons are purely infrastructure-related.10:15
sbeattienigelb: well, if moving to a different server breaks the tool but is going to happen, then probably the SRU team would accept.10:21
sbeattie...would accept it.10:21
sbeattieYou might ping someone actually on the ubuntu-sru team for sure.10:21
nigelbsbeattie: hm, ok.  I just wanted a take from somone from qa :)10:23
vishpedro_: hmm , which ML did we decide the updates had to be sent?10:32
pedro_vish, such of bad memory! :-P10:36
pedro_vish, to the BC one ;-)10:36
vishpedro_: ok.. thanks /me was confused which we decided on :D10:37
