| starspot | On a new 64-bit install for my neighbor he asked me to set his only user account to "login without password" and now I get errors on startup | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | hey starspot | 00:44 |
| holstein | did you set it back and see if all is well? | 00:44 |
| holstein | was it errors with WIFI? | 00:45 |
| holstein | i seem to have issues with that as well | 00:45 |
| starspot | holstein, I think it was because I chose the option to encrypt the drive at install and never entered a passphrase | 00:47 |
| starspot | no matter, I'm in boot disc now and deleting partitions for a re-install. didn't know what else to do | 00:47 |
| starspot | but I have noticed several buggy-looking issues with user logins, especially in KDE | 00:48 |
| holstein | i always say your not doing it right unless you break everything and have to reinstall a couple times ;) | 00:48 |
| starspot | heheh | 00:48 |
| starspot | I'm getting more experienced with gparted, thass for sure | 00:48 |
| Muscovy | How do I file a packaging-requested bug? | 01:11 |
| yofel | Muscovy: please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages | 01:23 |
| Muscovy | yofel: I've already read the process for introducing a new package. I'm just not sure you to file the needs-packaging bug, since I only know of how to report bugs with apport or ubuntu-bug. | 01:31 |
| holstein | hey guys | 01:31 |
| holstein | i have a bug i filed | 01:31 |

| qthan | hello.. | 13:26 |
| qthan | have a question about searching for bugs in launchpad... | 13:28 |
| qthan | what are Milestones? | 13:28 |
| jpds | Like, alpha1, alpha2, beta1, ... | 13:30 |
| qthan | but what do these 'alpha1, alpha2...' actually mean? | 13:30 |
| qthan | are they different releases of ubuntu? | 13:31 |
| jpds | qthan: No, they are stages within a release cycle. | 13:33 |
| qthan | jpds: ok, so should I worry about these Milestones when searching for bugs? | 13:34 |
| qthan | jpds: sorry if the questions seem silly jpds! I'm new to this and I'm just not quite sure what bugs I should be looking at... | 13:35 |
| jpds | qthan: I suggest looking at bugs against programs you use often and see if you can reproduce them | 13:36 |
| qthan | ok, i'll try that | 13:38 |
| qthan | jpds: thanks jpds! | 13:39 |
| jpds | No problem, feel free to ask if you need anything. | 13:39 |
| qthan | jpds: ok | 13:41 |
| qthan | jpds: I'm looking at this bug atm: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/609843?comments=all | 13:59 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 609843 in gnome-utils (Ubuntu) "memory leaks (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] | 13:59 |
| qthan | jpds: i can replicate the bug on my desktop by following the instructions in the bug description... | 14:00 |
| om26er | 6000 files is not a small number. I wont call that a memory leak | 14:00 |
| qthan | jpds: so what is my next step? | 14:00 |
| qthan | om26er: it may not be a memory leak, true.... but it does caused a load spike, and suddenly chews up a large amount of RAM... | 14:02 |
| qthan | om26er: I was running top in a terminal while I dragged all the files to another nautilus window... | 14:03 |
| om26er | qthan, what happens if you close the search utility. does the memory usage come down? | 14:03 |
| qthan | om26er: sorry for delay, i am just running the search utility again and seeing what happens if i let it running a little longer... | 14:09 |

| qthan | can u see my top output with that link? | 14:15 |
| om26er | yes.. and memory usage is back to normal | 14:17 |
| qthan | also, the copy (or would it be mv) operation was not carried out... | 14:17 |
| qthan | so would that be a bug confirmed? | 14:18 |
| om26er | I dont think its a bug.. copy action where the number of files is too large will certainly consume system resources | 14:20 |
| qthan | yes, true... i can see the cpu load go up due to the disk activity... but the files i was looking for were just a few thousand jpgs ~few hundred kb in size each... | 14:22 |
| qthan | there should not have be any problems in copying a few thousand jpgs to another folder, right? | 14:23 |

| hggdh | primes2h: looking into it now | 16:14 |
| hggdh | primes2h: done, thank you for helping :-) | 16:19 |
| primes2h | hggdh: Thank you very much! BTW, how r u? do u remember we met at the last UDS? | 16:35 |
| primes2h | hggdh: I'm one of the two italian guys that attended the UDS. | 16:40 |
| vish | primes2h: hmm , i think there might have been more Italians too :D | 16:45 |
| charlie-tca | y | 16:54 |

| gnomefreak | can anyone confirm bug 611001 | 19:40 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 611001 in gdm (Ubuntu) "Password prompt shows when automatically login (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/611001 | 19:40 |
| hggdh | gnomefreak: out of sheer curiosity (I cannot test it) -- wouldn't the password request be related to the gnome-keyring? | 20:04 |
| gnomefreak | hggdh: it would if it was mandiatory. i get the feeling it is using the keyring prompt for the auto login request. but yes i have thought of that | 20:08 |
| gnomefreak | gnome-keyring should not need a password for itself | 20:10 |
| gnomefreak | unless you request for it | 20:10 |
| hggdh | well, by default g-k will have the same password as your login | 20:15 |
| gnomefreak | that would defeat the point of auto wouldnt it? | 20:15 |
| hggdh | yes, and it is (or was, not up-to-date) a knwon issue | 20:15 |
| hggdh | the bypass was to reset your g-k to empty | 20:16 |
| hggdh | er, s/g-k/& password/ | 20:16 |
| gnomefreak | thats kind of crappy :( | 20:16 |
| hggdh | :-) | 20:16 |
| gnomefreak | well at least it is known | 20:17 |
| hggdh | not really. If you accept you want automagic login, then you really do not need a password for the keyring | 20:17 |
| hggdh | it is like taking out the front door(not just not locking it), but wanting all rooms locked | 20:18 |
| gnomefreak | true | 20:18 |
| gnomefreak | hggdh: any easy way to apply that work around? | 20:48 |
| vish | gnomefreak: i'm pretty sure that is a dup ... that has been a feature for a very long time | 21:12 |
| vish | and totally irritates me :s | 21:12 |
| hggdh | gnomefreak: enter the passphrase, and then open System/Preferences/Password & Encryption Keys; alt-click on the login keyring, and change the passphrase | 21:13 |
| gnomefreak | it was worked out in Lucid by release time IIRC | 21:13 |
| vish | gnomefreak: nope | 21:13 |
| gnomefreak | oh | 21:13 |
| gnomefreak | vish: i thought it was. | 21:13 |
| vish | i still have that in Lucid.. and not sure how to get out of it :( | 21:13 |
| gnomefreak | vish: see above | 21:14 |
| * gnomefreak trying it | 21:14 | |
| gnomefreak | or atleast will be | 21:14 |
| vish | hggdh: you can change the passphrase , but when we auto-login , we have to unlock | 21:14 |
| hggdh | vish: you have to set the passphrase to null | 21:15 |
| vish | oh! | 21:15 |
| vish | hmm.. never tried that :D | 21:15 |
| gnomefreak | ok be back going to see if it worked | 21:17 |
| gnomefreak | hggdh: thanks it works | 21:26 |
| * gnomefreak happy now | 21:26 | |
| hggdh | gnomefreak: cool! one down ;-) | 21:26 |
| gnomefreak | vish: it works on 10.10 | 21:26 |
| vish | yay! | 21:27 |
| vish | hehe , this is like one of the locks on a live cd! where you get prompted for a pword and just hitting enter works :D | 21:27 |
| vish | that thing has been bothering me for a very long time ;) | 21:27 |
| gnomefreak | updated bug | 21:29 |
| gnomefreak | vish: that makes 2 of us | 21:30 |
| * hggdh is happy for having gotten one right :-) | 21:30 | |
| hggdh | so 3 of us | 21:30 |
| gnomefreak | :) | 21:30 |
| gnomefreak | my TTYs started working this last reboot | 21:31 |
| hggdh | even better, two down <unknown/> to go | 21:31 |
| * gnomefreak not likely going to get chrome to work in ff4 | 21:32 | |
| gnomefreak | well it works but nothing else does with it | 21:32 |
| Daekdroom | Is this where I ask how to report a bug? (information I need to give, package to link against etc) | 22:10 |
| charlie-tca | We usually recommend using "ubuntu-bug <package_name>" to help get all the information required | 22:11 |
| Daekdroom | charlie-tca, yeah, but it's a DRM regression bug. | 22:11 |
| Daekdroom | Should I file it against the kernel version? | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca | doesn't matter | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca | regression is still a bug. | 22:11 |
| Daekdroom | Ok. | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is against the kernel. <package_name> becomes "linux" | 22:12 |
| charlie-tca | You can add a comment before submitting that it is a possible regression | 22:12 |
| Daekdroom | charlie-tca, should I use the kernel I'm reporting against when using ubuntu-bug command or it doesn't matter? | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | no, use ubuntu-bug linux | 22:14 |
| Daekdroom | I mean, which kernel I have to be booted on. | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | It will tell us the actual kernel in the report | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, if it is not the kernel in use at the time, include the information from "uname -a" | 22:15 |
| Daekdroom | Ok. Rebooting. | 22:15 |
