bbordwellThe purpose of the apport-retracing service is to get stack traces with the symbol tables included right?05:04
micahgbbordwell: yes05:05
bbordwellmicahg, I just had apport report a crash and I already had all the necessary symbol tables; is the retracer not able to detect this or is there some other reason that it still wants to run?05:06
micahgbbordwell: that part isn't uploaded05:07
micahgor actually05:07
micahgit is, but it still gets retraced05:07

jibel_pedro_, hggdh, ping14:04
hggdhjibel_: pong14:04
pedro_jibel_, hey14:04
jibel_hggdh, pedro_, I reviewed the list of bugs tagged with regression-*14:05
jibel_and I've isolated a few that needs some work.14:06
jibel_85 tagged regression-potential for a stable release14:06
hggdhjibel_: link?14:06
jibel_and 199 tagged regression-release but not targetted to a release.14:07
jibel_hggdh, no link yet :(14:07
jibel_pedro_, shall we organize a bug day or do we review them before ?14:07
jibel_I've left the kernel bugs apart because that's mostly handled by kj and I think we need insight from JFo and the kernel team.14:09
pedro_jibel_, I think we can review those this week and we can organize a bug day on Sept 02 , what do you think?14:09
pedro_hggdh, ^14:10
* JFo perks his ears14:10
hggdhpedro_: +114:10
jibel_pedro_, +114:10
hggdhbut, of course, we should let jFo deal with the kernel bugs14:10

JFo:-D14:11
jibel_pedro_, hggdh, I'll post the list today on the wiki.14:12
pedro_jibel_, \o/ thank you14:12
jibel_what do you think of splitting the regression-tracker list in 2 parts: linux and the rest of the world ?14:13
jibel_linux is 50% of the regression-* tags14:13
JFoyep14:13
hggdhprobably a good idea. Just by its size, linux should be separated14:13
jibel_and generate a lot of noise for the other packages14:13
* JFo is drowning in them14:14
jibel_okay, I'll split the list. We also have nice charts like this http://people.canonical.com/~brian/complete-graphs/regression-potential/14:16
jibel_maybe it would be worth to make them more visible on the regression-tracker ?14:16
hggdhjibel_: at least as of now, yes (until we figure how to Do It Right)14:16
hggdhwe need visibility there14:17

DanaGhmm, the core dumps in a Pidgin bug report seem to have my password... how do I fix that?17:28
micahgDanaG: that's the problem with core dumps17:28
micahgand why they should never be public, but the stacktraces shouldn't17:28
DanaGApport attached the core dump, though.17:29
micahgI think the apport hook might be able to hide the passwords17:29
micahgDanaG: right, it shoudl be private by default17:29
micahgmaybe hggdh knows how to hide them ^^^17:29
seb128crash report are private, nobody can access them until retracing17:30
DanaGah, so will it be made public automatically, after that?17:32
DanaGActually, I do already have debug symbols installed, as well.17:32
hggdhmicahg, DanaG: for the private data potentially shown in backtraces, we are working on an apport hook to clean them up17:32
micahgDanaG: no, it takes a bug control member or the reporter to make it public afterwards17:32
hggdhDanaG: no, it will not be public by default17:32
hggdhDanaG: reason is the backtrace may still contain sensitive data17:33
DanaGah, I had SOME debugsyms installed, but not all.17:33
DanaGhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/62283117:34
ubot2DanaG: Error: Bug #622831 is private.17:34
DanaGI can confirm: no passwords in stacktrace; just in core-dump.17:34
hggdhDanaG: if you and all the possibly needed debug symbols... (1) make sure the ddebs are set in sources.list; (2) sudo apport-retrace -o trash /var/crash/<your crash file>17:34
hggdhthen apport-retrace will most nicely apt-get install all found ddebs for the used packages (in the crash)17:35
DanaGAuto-install.. cool.  Wish I'd known about that ages ago... =þ17:35
hggdhs/you and/you want/17:35
DanaGreport file does not contain one of the required fields: CoreDump Package ExecutablePath17:36

bcurtiswxhey guys, with todays updates to maverick.  Unplugging your laptop power cord causes the gnome-power-backlight-helper to request permission to run18:40
bcurtiswxwhich isn't right, but what package to run that against?18:40

micahgbcurtiswx: wel, gpm was just updated last night IIRC18:41
bcurtiswxmicahg: yes it was18:41

simarvish: I have some doubts regarding setting importance of bugs .. i hope you can help out ..20:35
vishsimar: too late your are already a BC , you are on your own !20:36
vishsimar: just kidding! , just ask :D20:37
simarvish: when to set the importance of bugs rightaway when i pick a bug and set the status to incomplete or after some replies of user. I mean is there any wait period of setting the importances ....20:38
vishsimar: no waiting period ;) , just set as soon as you can approximate the importance , do note the importance can change once we have additional new information about the bug.  but when changing the importance later, just make sure to comment why the new importance is set20:40
simarvish: kk :))20:42
simarvish: another issue, when a person has a bug in a previous version say in 9.10 but the bug disappers in 10.04 and assume that the user can provide us triaging information about the bug. Should we take the bug forward so the issue is fixed in that particular distribution.. I think this issue has two aspects one in simple packages and other in kernel ...20:47
vishsimar: if no one else is subscribed to the bug, you can close the bug as fixed, but if there are other subscribed to the bug and they are still using old release , AND the fix is known AND qualifies as a SRU , you can continue with the bug.. else just close it ;)20:50
bcurtiswxvish: ffx40 making it to MM?20:50
vishbcurtiswx: Firefox4.0?  nope..20:51
