micahgMathuin: anyone can contribute a patch to fix bugs in Ubuntu00:00
MathuinWell, sure, anyone could contribute a patch to FreeBSD.  The fact that it took eighteen months for my two-line patch to be committed is one of the primary reasons I switched to Ubuntu.00:01
MathuinI got tired of having to patch my kernel every time I ran "cd /usr/src && sudo make update".00:01
Mathuinhttps://code.launchpad.net/~doctormo/screenlets/options-rework/+merge/3935 -- oh dear.00:05
greg-gMathuin: that seems like that ended well, no? (well, a year ago)00:15
Mathuingreg-g: crash and burn, with a bit of dead-cat bounce as the "new project" is pretty much dead as well.00:16
MathuinTo the point where I became the #2 recent contributor when I submitted a bug report asking if the project was alive. :-)00:16
greg-gwell, yeah, I mean, it may be dead, but at least it didn't turn into a huge flame war00:20
Mathuingreg-g:  I learned from another bug in the UA database that the owner's looking to give it up.  I just sent in an offer to take it over.00:20
bcurtiswxMathuin: join #empathy on irc.gimp.net or #telepathy here on freenode02:29
hsmIf I see a bug in Ubuntu, what's the best channel to record it?08:10
lifeless$ ubuntu-bug packagename08:14
hsmlifeless: allright, can you help me with this? I see a wrongly displayed taskbar in ubuntu 10.04. What should I do to report this?08:16
=== vishnoo is now known as vish
hsmlifeless: ?08:22
sensehsm: Have you searched at Launchpad for the problem, to see if it isn't already reported?08:35
kermiachsm: when you say "taskbar", are you referring to the top gnome panel? This is just a guess, but it might be bug 43944808:35
ubot2Launchpad bug 439448 in gnome-panel (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 5 other projects) "visual corruption affecting several panel applets (affects: 316) (dups: 80) (heat: 1751)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43944808:35
hsmsense: yeah.. well i searched on taskbar and background08:36
sensehsm: kermiac's bug might be yours08:36
hsmkermiac: sorry, is missed your remark, i'm referring to the bottom bar (containing activie applications), but as I just found out it is for both bars..08:38
hsmkermiac: I will have a look into the bug you mentioned08:38
hsmkermiac: & sense: it's not the bug I mean.. What I am experiencing is that the background gradient of the taskbars keeps repeating itself when I scale the height of the bars.08:39
sensehsm: That is a theme-related issue, I suppose.08:40
sensehsm: It is how panel-backgrounds work.08:40
sensehsm: Although you could consider reporting a bug because different behaviour may be desired.08:41
senseMaybe there is already one.08:41
kermiachsm: it might be easier if you could upload a screenshot of the issue, as sense said - it may be related to your theme. Does it happen when using the default theme?08:41
hsmsense: okay.. maybe these can be improved by scaling the background..08:42
hsmkermiac: where shall I upload this? In the bugreport?08:42
kermiachsm | !screenshots08:43
kermiac!screenshots08:43
ubot2Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it.08:43
sensehsm: But if you're trying to add screenshots to a bug report, please attach them there indeed. The pastebin is useful if you want to ask something here.08:44
hsmkermiac: http://imagebin.org/10805608:49
hsmsense: & kermiac: where shall I report this bug? launchpad bugs redirects me to another page..08:50
sensehsm: Have you read that page?08:51
sensehsm: I think that this bug has been reported before.08:51
hsmsense: I guess ..08:53
senseLet me search for it.08:54
kermiacsense: it *might* be bug 532309  see the screenshot in comment #3408:56

sensenew tag: 'nautilus-desktop-icons'09:34
vishsense: :s09:34
senseFor everything related to the icons that Nautilus puts on your desktop.09:34
sensevish: Why the :S?09:35
vishsense: how many bugs are there related to those icons?09:35
vishlatest fad seems to be adding more tags :D09:35
senseIt is really helpful to keep track of the different issues related to the desktop!09:35
senseSebastien is seeing quite some of them, at least, and I've seen a few as well.09:36
senseThe desktop probably needs a usability overhaul, but meanwhile we can categorise bugs to make it easier for the interested folks to find the issues.09:37
vishthere are ~10 bugs , iirc09:37
JoshuaLPeople using icons on their desktop is a bug ;-)09:37
vishsense: well , if you are tagging them for personal interest seems good , but dont see the point in making it official09:38
vishsense: mainly more because , there have been already tagged upstream and aday is looking into them , and we aernt going to be doing much usability work separate from upstream :)09:44
senseok09:44
senseDidn't know about that09:44

BrunoAlvesHey! I couldn't find any mention on bugtracker.... but it's about plymouth... plymouth uses a file called boot-duration in /var/lib/plymouth to determine the duration of boot, and to properly draw the progress bar... but here this file is always an empty file... can anyone confirm this?12:12

gnomefreakmaybe its because i cant get plymouth to show up at all12:48

* gnomefreak going through my bugs13:37
seb128gnomefreak, it's not a bug13:38
vishseb128: this is even when not using any stored password.13:39
gnomefreakseb128: ? its a feature?13:39
vishseb128: it just asks for keyring unlock always13:39
seb128something might be using a password13:39
seb128calendar, wireless13:39
seb128im13:39
devildantethere is some discussion on ayatana mailing list about this13:40
vishseb128: for me its on a VM , not using anything in it  , its just for testing i have that there13:40
vishno im/wireless13:40
seb128vish, I will have to test an a3 install13:41
seb128but g-k didn't change since lucid13:41
seb128so I doubt it13:41
gnomefreakme neither. nothing should need to use that AFAIK13:41
seb128could be ubuntuone or something trying to use a password13:41
seb128gnomefreak, "that" being the keyring?13:41
vishyeah , U1 might be that!13:41
seb128we have tons of softwares using the keyring13:41
seb128it's really not a gdm bug in any case13:42
gnomefreaki disabled ubuntu1 from loading, but i still have ssh keyring loading at startup13:43
gnomefreakmaybe that is why? seb128 yes that == keyring13:43
seb128dunno13:44
seb128in any case it's not a gdm bug13:44
seb128gdm has nothing to do with password after login13:44
seb128you probably just have a software running trying to use the keyring13:44
gnomefreakwell ill disable ssh keyring on load and when i reboot i will find out13:45
gnomefreakseb128: can you please update the bug13:47
gnomefreaki guess it could be the gsettings data conversion13:49
seb128gnomefreak, I doubt it13:49
seb128why would that need a password?13:50
gnomefreakok hmm13:50
gnomefreakseb128: not sure13:50
gnomefreakthan the only other thing that is in startup menu is ssh . PA wouldnt need it and Nm gnome sound13:51
gnomefreakwell i will reboot and see what happens with ssh disabled13:53
gnomefreakchrisccoulson: and seb128  thanks for updating bug. it seems it is ssh that caused it14:05
seb128weird14:06
seb128the ssh agent should not be used until you ssh somewhere14:06
seb128or do you have a ssh remote folder or something?14:06
gnomefreakseb128: i havent needed my ssh key in a while. i did accently changed a setting and im working on change remember currently running apps in the startup apps under option unless it only saves it when the box is checked14:11
gnomefreaki changed my passphrase under keys and encryptions14:12
gnomefreakback to needing one14:12
gnomefreaki will keep playing with it14:13
yofelvish: updated the no-package response on the wiki page with the one brian set for the gm scrpts (https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~yofel/canonical-qa-tracking/gm-response-pa/+merge/31694) does that sound good?14:22
vishyofel: looks good to me :)14:27
yofelactually that was the original merge14:27
yofelvish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Bugs%20without%20a%20package14:27
vishyofel: oops! got distracted!  yeah , i was wondering why "ubuntu-bug" was removed from the wiki14:35
vishyofel: we could use: "When reporting bugs in the future please use 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected "14:36
vishyofel: no need to mention apport14:36
gnomefreakif you add the apport-collect14:37
vishgnomefreak: "reporting" ;)14:37
gnomefreakah14:37
vishyofel: but the reason i didnt add it was because i dint know why it was removed14:37
yofelI'm just trying to find out..14:37
yofelactually, ubuntu-bug was never mentioned it seems14:39
yofellike here a rev from last year https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses?action=recall&rev=265#Bugs%20without%20a%20package14:40
vishyofel: use the direct link to : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs ,the wiki link is just a refresh page14:40
gnomefreakshould i file the nvidia+kernel bug aganst linux or nvidia-current14:41
yofelvish: done for the wiki page14:43
gnomefreakyofel: the second link?14:45
vishyofel: also , "use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug'" > "use 'ubuntu-bug'"  ?14:45
vishmy system is totally borked :(14:46
yofelIMHO it wouldn't be bad for people to know that they're using apport if we're already not using apport-bug14:46
yofelgnomefreak: second link?14:47
vishhad a harddrive check failure , accepted to auto-correct and several things seem to have gotten reverted! :/14:47
gnomefreakthe ReportingBugs link?14:47
yofelgnomefreak: I changed the 2nd one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Bugs%20without%20a%20package14:48
vishyofel: not sure why we need to mention that we use apport.. it would just confuse, that would be a response used for everyone, not just for those running a dev release14:48
gnomefreakyofel: thanks14:48
vishyofel: anyway , a second pair of eyes would be good too :)14:49
gnomefreaki also have buttonlacethong (not sure if that is current spelling or not14:49

cjaewow a bugs channel16:44
cjae: )16:44
* cjae hopes there is someone nice enough to report a bug16:45
devildante_cjae: no, you have to do everything by yourself, muhaha :p16:47
charlie-tcacjae: this channel is for discussion of the bug reports filed. To see the actual bugs filed, there is #ubuntu-bugs-announce16:47
cjaeNo I just suck at reporting them since I never know the real underlying problem :P16:47
devildante_cjae: what's your problem?16:48
cjaeone sec trying to ge t some detail16:48
cjaehttp://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Palmscan+?content=126482 ok I think maybe this is causing part of  it, it is my theme for kdm16:51
cjaemight also be the shitty properitary ati driver but I think it was doing it with the opensource one as well16:52
cjaewhen I login the computer sometimes freezes on the kde splash screen and I mean freeze hard like no tty sometimes16:54
cjaelike hard reset is the only way and sometimes it just works upon reboot16:55
devildante_cjae: does it occur when using the default kdm theme?16:55
cjaecould that theme cause that kind of problem?16:55
devildante_cjae: idk, it could be16:56
devildante_cjae: it's preferable to use default settings16:56
devildante_cjae: can you test?16:57
cjaeI think it did with it too but this is my first time with a ati system really, so I cant really judge the comparison with nvidia16:57
cjaebut when I login with the default stuff the is sort of graphic tearing at the  top of the screen that seems to fixed by using a non-default theme in the ....16:59
cjaeworkspace theme16:59
cjaesorry trying hard to use right terminalogy16:59
devildante_cjae: can you precise when it does happen? (everytime, every 2 reboots...)17:00
cjaealso the ati opensource driver really misdetects my tv via hdmi (my monitor is hooked up via dvi)17:01
cjaedevildante_: every two, its very weird17:01
cjaebrb 117:02
cjaeok17:04
cjaeso I think the theme - might - be the login thing but doesnt explain the tearing sometimes, the tearing is sort of like that bad tearing in kde 4.1 and such17:06
cjaeI spoke about the ati opensource in #radeon but they told me it was tvs fault, hdmi overscan that couldnt be turned off or something, checked all menu, nothing, used properitary, worked fine17:08
cjaealso when I FIrst installed 10.04 I had I nvidia card and the nouveau driver had vertical hold issue to tv too but that was via svideo, never got time to report that either17:10
cjaeother than those things 10.04 has been pretty sweet17:11
cjaedevildante_: what do you mean test?17:14
cjaelike change the theme back and forth17:15
devildante_I meant test it with the default kdm theme17:15
cjaesure but I am lame at reporting because either I dont have enough info in the report or I get lame things back, like "have you tried upgrading" or this will not be passed on to devs17:17
cjaeor too little time17:18
cjae:(17:18
cjaebrb will test theme17:19
cjaeok so it wont do it now with either theme on and a bunch of apps open and restore session on/off in kde17:30
cjaebut it really does happen17:30
cjaegf tried restarting system three times last night and nothing all hung on kdm then when I got home I restarted she watched and it just went17:31
cjaeshe is proficent enough to know to like she didnt press recovery mode or anything, it really hung after burning a bluray disc data failed17:32
cjaeas well17:33
=== deryck is now known as deryck[lunch]
cjaeoh which brings me to k3b is broken for bluray as well, sent a bug report for that as well, that report went well though, got am email from sabastian saying it had been fixed17:35
cjaethink it was him anyway17:35
cjaethink the k3b is still broken in 10.04 had to use nero linux17:36
