| hggdh | i.e., when you sent it in | 00:09 |
| rusivi | hggdh: must have mis-sent | 00:10 |
| rusivi | hggdh: I just sent a fresh request 2 secs ago via https://launchpad.net/%7Ebugsquad-mentorship/+contactuser | 00:12 |
| hggdh | rusivi: cool, thank you. | 00:13 |

| hggdh | interesting. I get a bug email every so often -- so far, so good. Then, suddenly I get 50/70 of them | 00:22 |

| hggdh | yeeee, thunderstorm arriving | 00:28 |
| nhandler | plars: Did you get the calendar stuff taken care of? | 00:28 |
| intrader | Is there an alternative to `recordMyDesktop` for recording how the desktop is behaving? | 00:28 |
| nhandler | err hggdh ^^^ | 00:28 |
| hggdh | nhandler: no, I did not (yet) | 00:29 |
| nhandler | hggdh: What needs to get changed? | 00:29 |
| hggdh | nhandler: mind to update the bugsquad meeting to 1700UTC? | 00:29 |
| yofel | intrader: there is byzanz iirc | 00:30 |
| intrader | yofel, I will look that up, `recordMyDesktop` is not useful . Where should I find it, and why iirc? | 00:31 |
| nhandler | hggdh: Check it out now | 00:32 |
| yofel | intrader: haven't used it in ages, but iirc byzanz did desktop recording | 00:34 |
| hggdh | nhandler: excellent, thank you | 00:35 |
| * hggdh owes nhandler. Again. Pretty big tab now :-) | 00:35 | |
| intrader | yofel, I am unable to find it - what is 'iirc byzanz'. I find lots of BMWs with that brand | 00:35 |
| lifeless | If I Recall Correctly | 00:36 |
| nhandler | hggdh: Don't worry about it ;) | 00:36 |
| yofel | lifeless: thanks, my fault | 00:37 |
| yofel | !info byzanz | 00:37 |
| ubot2 | yofel: byzanz (source: byzanz): Small screencast creator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.1-4 (lucid), package size 79 kB, installed size 408 kB | 00:37 |
| intrader | yofel, I am unable to do `info byzanz` - must have no info on it. I will try the Synaptic Package Manager | 00:42 |
| yofel | intrader: '!info' was a bot command, the application is simply called 'byzanz' | 00:42 |
| intrader | yofel, `which byzanz` gives me nothing, and the package manager shows it installed. | 00:44 |
| yofel | dpkg -L byzanz shows: | 00:45 |
| yofel | /usr/bin/byzanz-record | 00:45 |
| yofel | /usr/bin/byzanz-playback | 00:45 |
| intrader | yofel, `dpkg -l byzanz` gives a whole slew of stuff, and /usr/bin/byzanz-playback is not there. | 00:50 |
| yofel | ok, let me check lucid, I'm using maverick here | 00:51 |
| yofel | also it's '-L' not '-l' | 00:51 |
| yofel | hm, seems like lucid only has byzanz-record | 00:52 |
| intrader | yofel, it does record (but no sound), The playback is by 'Eye of Gnome' - whatever that is. | 01:08 |
| maco | eye of gnome = eog = the default image viewer in ubuntu | 01:09 |
| intrader | maco, never had heard of it, thanks - it is able to see the animation by byzanz | 01:10 |
| intrader | yofel, how do I upload the file for your viewing of highlighting problem | 01:20 |
| intrader | yofel, I will add it to the bug report - let me know of another way, thanks | 01:22 |
| intrader | yofel, the bug is 631130 - I have unloaded a recording of the 'hightlight bug' | 01:32 |
| intrader | yofel, I wil try to record the problem with the scrollbar. | 01:33 |

| lifeless | rusivi: hi | 03:51 |
| lifeless | rusivi: baltix is not Ubuntu | 03:51 |
| lifeless | rusivi: oh, sorry, I see the bug has too many subscribers, ignore my comment. But is triaged in Ubuntu, so Im' not sure why you're just asking on it. (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/41170) | 03:51 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 41170 in baltix (and 2 other projects) "The typical user will not know how to make some free disk space when he cannot log into a graphical desktop (affects: 4) (dups: 2) (heat: 44)" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 03:51 |
| rusivi | lifeless: np | 03:52 |
| rusivi | lifeless: ty for reviewing my changes! | 03:52 |
| lifeless | I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be changing the Baltix bug status when asking about Mverick | 03:52 |
| lifeless | baltix is not Ubuntu | 03:52 |
| lifeless | also, asking about triaged bugs isn't helpful. | 03:53 |
| lifeless | *testing* triaged bugs is helpful. | 03:53 |
| rusivi | lifeless: hmmmm I checked out their Overview page and it seems Baltix is a language translation of Ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| lifeless | It is a separate project. | 03:55 |
| maco | its a different distro | 03:55 |
| lifeless | Yes, it builds on Ubuntu, but it has its own releases and so on. | 03:55 |
| rusivi | lifeless: Shouldn't they have their own website like Sabily, Linux Mint or similar Ubuntu derivative? | 03:56 |
| lifeless | rusivi: they do; but they use Launchpad for bug tracking. | 03:56 |
| rusivi | lifeless: ah | 03:56 |
| lifeless | rusivi: launchpad is for much much more than just Ubuntu. | 03:56 |
| rusivi | lifeless: Couldn't they just use Sourceforge? | 03:56 |
| lifeless | rusivi: they can use Launchpad | 03:56 |
| hggdh | rusivi: why couldn't they use LP? | 03:56 |
| lifeless | rusivi: why would they want to use Sourceforge instead? | 03:57 |
| maco | rusivi: lp serves the same purpose as sourceforge | 03:57 |
| maco | i use lp for my project... dont like cvs or svn, so why would i use sf? and git.kde.org isnt up yet... i like bzr, so i use lp | 03:57 |
| rusivi | lifeless: hehe I'm not trying to exclude anyone from Launchpad... just trying to understand where Baltix has it's place on Launchpad | 03:58 |
| hggdh | rusivi: one thing is actually very important (what lifeless already said): LP is for many other projects, out of Ubuntu | 03:58 |
| hggdh | Ubuntu is just one of them. We have to be careful not to step on bugs from other projects | 03:58 |
| rusivi | hggdh: Got it. I'll avoid their packages for the time being. | 03:58 |
| rusivi | hggdh: Got it. I'll avoid their bugs for the time being. | 03:59 |
| lifeless | rusivi: I think its important you start looking into bugs. Not just asking 'is it fixed in maverick'. | 04:01 |
| lifeless | rusivi: *most open bugs are not fixed in maverick* | 04:01 |
| lifeless | rusivi: you are wasting many many peoples time just asking if the problem still exists. | 04:01 |
| rusivi | lifeless: I only ask that if the underlying package bugged has been updated since the last time someone commented about it in the Ubuntu version mentioned. | 04:03 |
| maco | rusivi: do you try reproducing it yourself first? | 04:03 |
| rusivi | maco: If I can I do. If eq dependent looking for reporter to test. | 04:04 |
| rusivi | maco: or whomever else has same/similar eq | 04:04 |
| maco | eq? | 04:04 |
| rusivi | maco: equipment, ex. samsung mobile phone trying to bluetooth sync | 04:05 |
| maco | ah ok | 04:05 |
| * maco read "equaliser" ;-) | 04:05 | |
| rusivi | I don't have one so on the reporter or whomever has one needs to step up and let us know if still a problem | 04:05 |
| rusivi | maco: hehe | 04:05 |
| lifeless | rusivi: actually its the other way around | 04:05 |
| lifeless | rusivi: because *most* bugs are not closed in each release | 04:05 |
| lifeless | rusivi: we know statistically that *most bugs still exist* | 04:05 |
| lifeless | we should look for evidence from *our side* that the bug is fixed before asking for confirmation. | 04:06 |
| lifeless | rusivi: otherwise we're just wasting the reporters time. | 04:06 |
| lifeless | rusivi: I'm really glad you want to help. | 04:06 |
| rusivi | lifeless: yes, I was flamed for marking fixed without testing myself, I have stopped doing this. | 04:06 |
| lifeless | rusivi: good. please stop asking 'is it fixed yet' too. | 04:06 |
| lifeless | If its hardware dependent, check the driver code to see if its fixed before asking. | 04:06 |
| lifeless | if its not hardware dependent, check it yourself. | 04:07 |
| rusivi | lifeless: Well I'm not just spamming them for an update. I'm just checking if fixed if new package has been pushed out. | 04:07 |
| lifeless | Yes, this means you will touch less bugs. | 04:07 |
| lifeless | rusivi: trust me, you're spamming. | 04:07 |
| rusivi | lifeless: I understand your viewpoint on this, but if the reporter has more knowledge on this issue, it seems wasteful to reinvent the wheel and try to reproduce when they are experiencing it firsthand and know what to look for. | 04:08 |
| lifeless | launchpad is totally capable of sending out a mass email to every bug that has had a new package upload asking for confirmatio that its still a bug, if we thought that was a useful thing to do. | 04:08 |
| lifeless | rusivi: Unless we have reason to believe that its fixed, we're *wasting their time*. | 04:08 |
| rusivi | lifeless: Understood but not doing so doesn't get the bug addressed/fixed faster :P | 04:09 |
| lifeless | rusivi: I've had several folk thank me for following up on *just one* of the bugs you commented on - and I bet you haven't even seen the comment because you're not subscribed to it. | 04:09 |
| lifeless | rusivi: no, but if more people complain it will get you locked out of launchpad. | 04:09 |
| lifeless | rusivi: which would be sad, because you want to help, and I want you to help. | 04:10 |
| rusivi | lifeless: hmmm, I am definitely trying to be judicious in my bug zapping. If someone considers it spam that a bug that is years old had someone ask if this is fixed in a new package seems duly noted but at least someone is addressing it! | 04:11 |
| lifeless | but asking if its fixed is -not- addressing it. | 04:11 |
| lifeless | checking if it is fixed by *testing* is addressing it. | 04:11 |
| rusivi | lifeless: I understand your viewpoint on this but I disagree with it. The reporter does have some responsibility to fix the bug they bugged in the first place unless they don't have the capability to do so. | 04:12 |
| rusivi | lifeless: if that's the case it's usually where the devs takeover and work on it for them. | 04:12 |
| lifeless | I don't think you understand how bugs in Ubuntu generally progress | 04:13 |
| lifeless | :( | 04:13 |
| rusivi | lifeless: when I make a bug anytime someone asks for info I'm on it like white on rice, either giving them info desired or explain outside of my sphere of knowledge. | 04:13 |
| lifeless | yes, reporters are responsible for confirming that a fix is indeed a fix. | 04:13 |
| micahg | rusivi: that's not the viewpoint of Ubuntu Bug Control, if there is sufficient information to reproduce, we try not to bother the reporter unless we need more information | 04:13 |
| rusivi | micahg: is this posted in one of the Ubuntu doctrines I missed or just creating on the fly? | 04:14 |
| lifeless | rusivi: but if we don't know that its fixed, or even have reason to *think* its fixed, then we're just going to annoy the reporter and they will unsubscribe/close it - and the defect *will still be there* | 04:14 |
| micahg | rusivi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Actions | 04:15 |
| rusivi | micahg: i'll review again sec | 04:15 |
| rusivi | micahg: As per provided link: "There will be a few bug reporters who never get back to you and there is not enough information for the bug to be worked on. You will also want to mark those bugs as Invalid. " | 04:17 |
| micahg | rusivi: *if* there is not enough information | 04:17 |
| rusivi | micahg: it sounds like we're boiling down to opinion, not my unfamiliarity with the doctrines linked | 04:18 |
| micahg | rusivi: no, with policy and this is almost becoming a CoC issue IMHO | 04:18 |
| rusivi | : Granted, I think you guys are the pros, I'm the newb and I try to defer to you. | 04:18 |
| rusivi | micahg: CoC? | 04:18 |
| micahg | rusivi: Code of Conduct | 04:18 |
| rusivi | micahg: Well I'm definitely trying to cooperate with you but you have referenced links that are vague regarding the issues mentioned recently. | 04:20 |
| rusivi | micahg: it's a little RTFM/gentoo'ish to be quite honest ;) | 04:20 |
| micahg | rusivi: one of the questions for confirming a bug is if there is can you reproduce the bug yourself (which means to try to reproduce) | 04:20 |
| lifeless | rusivi: the section you quoted was for 'incomplete bugs' | 04:21 |
| lifeless | rusivi: not 'confirmed' or 'triaged' | 04:21 |
| lifeless | rusivi: you are asking these questions on 'confirmed' and 'triaged' bugs. | 04:22 |
| rusivi | lifeless: regarding triaged bugs I changed my bad I stopped doing that :D | 04:22 |
| rusivi | lifeless: Duly noted won't happen anymore on the triaged ones :) | 04:22 |
| micahg | rusivi: we believe everyone's time is valuable, ours and the reporter's, therefore, if the reporter was kind enough to give us steps to reproduce, we attempt to do so | 04:22 |
| rusivi | lifeless: I took micahg's advice and I am only focusing on New or Invalid bugs not in wishlist status without patches | 04:23 |
| micahg | if the triage documentation implies otherwise, please let us know where so we can fix it | 04:23 |
| lifeless | rusivi: I was responding here to a change to a confirmed bug | 04:24 |
| micahg | rusivi: this might help as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/Charts | 04:25 |
| rusivi | micahg: duly noted. | 04:26 |
| rusivi | micahg: good chart | 04:26 |
| Muscovy | Indeed. | 04:28 |
| rusivi | It seems a place should exist for a different type of bug zapping. Below triage'ers but above spammers | 04:29 |
| rusivi | Has this been discussed anywhere? | 04:29 |
| rusivi | Otherwise I'm gonna grind a while on way few less bugs instead of providing more tailored above-spam, below triaging "advice" | 04:32 |
| rusivi | Not triage but bug advice or something like that | 04:32 |
| rusivi | Does this topic fit more a Brainstorm or is their another platform for disputing Triaging procedures? | 04:34 |
| micahg | rusivi: disputing procedures? You can bring it up in the bugsquad mailing list | 04:35 |
| rusivi | micahg: k well do for sure | 04:35 |
| rusivi | micahg: I like the mechanisms set in place I just see the "advice" idea being very helpful in moving bugs forward to Fixed Release status | 04:36 |
| rusivi | micahg: for those who are not in a position to triage | 04:36 |
| micahg | rusivi: what do you mean? | 04:37 |
| rusivi | micahg: well the "no equipment equivalent to reporter available", End of Life release bugs, old package issues, years of inactivity, just to name a few | 04:39 |
| lifeless | years of inactivity just means years of inactivity | 04:40 |
| lifeless | its got no deeper meaning. | 04:40 |
| micahg | rusivi: no equivalent equipment you skip, end of life you evaluate if the bug still applies | 04:40 |
| rusivi | micahg: k | 04:40 |
| micahg | rusivi: there should be responses on the responses page for these types of bugs https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses | 04:41 |
| rusivi | micahg: let me check that | 04:42 |
| rusivi | micahg: just installed firefox-lp-improvements holy cow this is well done! | 05:08 |
| micahg | rusivi: you might want to check the responses page first for the prerequisites for the responses before using then until you are familiar with the preconditions for them | 05:10 |
| rusivi | micahg: yes their is a small pop-up when one hovers the mouse icon over each response | 05:11 |
| rusivi | micahg: I'm definitely reviewing for sure | 05:11 |
| micahg | yes, that just lets you see the text though | 05:11 |
| micahg | rusivi: for the version specific tasks, once the release is EOL, the task is Invalid or Won't Fix | 05:56 |
| rusivi | micahg: got it! | 05:57 |
| lifeless | (or decline, if it was nominated) | 06:04 |
| rusivi | Can someone please look at bug 78182 for wishlist or triage? | 06:07 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 78182 in mc (Ubuntu) "mc should warn prior to attempting to copy a file >4 GB to vfat partition instead of crashing (dups: 1) (heat: 13)" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/78182 | 06:07 |
| micahg | rusivi: can you check to see if it's still the case? | 06:13 |
| micahg | or rather doesn't warn | 06:13 |
| micahg | actually, the upstream dev is subscribed, I should ask in the bug if this is still needed | 06:16 |
| rusivi | micahg :) | 06:17 |
| micahg | rusivi: or you could ask the upstream dev, Yury V. Zaytsev in the bug if this is still needed and should be upstreamed | 06:17 |
| rusivi | micahg I can ask if you like no big deal | 06:18 |
| micahg | rusivi: I can do it, just offering you the chance if you like | 06:18 |
| rusivi | Sure I'll ask one sec | 06:19 |
| rusivi | micahg: done | 06:21 |
| micahg | thanks | 06:21 |
| micahg | rusivi: why are you trying to use a standard reply on a debian bug task? | 07:45 |

| micahg | yep, just added a comment | 07:49 |
| rusivi | micahg: Well whether I applied a custom or standard reply does not seem the issue. I was unable to apply either to it. Problem exists in firefox-lp-improvements | 07:52 |
| micahg | rusivi: yes, but standard comments shouldn't be needed on upstream tasks where launchpad isn't the tracker | 07:52 |
| micahg | or any lengthy comments for that matter | 07:52 |
| rusivi | micahg: Fair enough on that. I'll avoid the debian bugs moving forward. Won't someone who works on these bugs find a custom script helpful? | 07:53 |
| micahg | rusivi: they're just linked, no one "works" on them per se | 07:53 |

| rusivi | micahg: looks like I was right for the wrong reason?! | 07:56 |
| micahg | rusivi: you were correct to set to invalid, just the lengthy comment wasn't necessary, you could've just said, this is an old bug and there doesn't seem to be a need to upstream it anymore | 07:57 |
| rusivi | micahg: I'll leave the script bug invalid unless someone else who works on debian bugs feels compelled to speak or I ever get to the point where I'm working on deb bugs | 07:57 |

| Tetsuo55 | sorry had to reboot | 08:32 |
| thekorn | Tetsuo55: hey, | 08:32 |
| Tetsuo55 | so what can we do about 622777 | 08:32 |
| thekorn | I just updated the bugreport you mentioned a few minutes ago | 08:32 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok thanks | 08:32 |
| thekorn | in short, the issue should be already fixed in maverick | 08:33 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok so the updates that just made me reboot should have the fix | 08:33 |
| Tetsuo55 | nice | 08:33 |
| Tetsuo55 | then that just leaves the flash crashes and then maverick will be stable for me | 08:34 |
| Tetsuo55 | the bug is still half open, is that normalo? | 08:38 |
| Tetsuo55 | its still open for the other packadge thekorn | 08:44 |
| thekorn | Tetsuo55: what do you mean? | 08:44 |
| Tetsuo55 | if you look at the ticket again | 08:45 |
| thekorn | only the upstream bug watch is not closed | 08:45 |
| Tetsuo55 | yes that | 08:45 |
| thekorn | it will be closed by one of the next automatic updates | 08:45 |
| thekorn | but the package task is closed | 08:45 |
| thekorn | and that's the only important bit for ubuntu | 08:45 |
| Tetsuo55 | ahh ok | 08:45 |
| micahg | rusivi: please don't close bugs just because the version reported is EOL | 08:53 |
| rusivi | micahg: You told me earlier that I can mark invalid or won't fix due to EoL... | 08:55 |

| micahg | rusivi: I said if the task is version specific (i.e. Ubuntu Dapper) | 08:55 |
| micahg | rusivi: if there are steps to reproduce, try to reproduce, otherwise, there's a response on the repsonses page | 08:56 |
| micahg | rusivi: and even Dapper isn't EOL except for desktop | 08:56 |
| rusivi | micahg: My mistake, misunderstood. I did notice that Dapper Server still supported | 08:57 |
| micahg | rusivi: regarding bug 85531 why would you mark it Fix Released on a package that no longer existed? | 09:01 |

| Tetsuo55 | so ndiswrapper is a 64bit shell around 32bit binary flash? | 09:06 |
| micahg | Tetsuo55: yes | 09:06 |
| Tetsuo55 | does that mean that its crashes are fixable on the ndiswrapper side? | 09:06 |
| micahg | oops | 09:06 |
| micahg | Tetsuo55: you mean nspluginwrapper? | 09:06 |
| Tetsuo55 | yeah | 09:06 |
| micahg | ndiswrapper is a wrapper around windows drivers | 09:06 |
| Tetsuo55 | so its wrapping the 32bit windows flash binary | 09:07 |
| Tetsuo55 | :S | 09:07 |
| micahg | Tetsuo55: no, the 32 bit linux flash binary | 09:09 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok | 09:11 |

| micahg | Tetsuo55: no, we don't use the chrome flash AFAIK | 09:15 |

| rusivi | vish: Well if you say so! | 09:37 |
| vish | rusivi: i checked your lp for approving your membership in the mentoring program.. but we need some info to assign you a mentor.. | 09:39 |
| vish | rusivi: have you read the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Mentors ? | 09:39 |
| vish | rusivi: "How To Request a Mentor" section? | 09:39 |
| rusivi | vish: I did, the only thing I noticed I thought I was missing was a wiki | 09:40 |
| vish | rusivi: the yeah wiki is important , since it needs to be filled with the time available info | 09:41 |
| vish | rusivi: once we know the time available , we can assign you a mentor | 09:41 |
| rusivi | vish: Yeah, that's gonna be tough b/c I'm not looking to make such a firm commitment. I'm on a 2 week vacation (started 3 days ago) so I'm willing to go strong for the entire time. After that, I'm only going to focus on those bugs I touched/bugged personally or know how to fix. | 09:42 |
| rusivi | vish: sorry but Canonical doesn't pay my bills :P | 09:43 |
| rusivi | vish: jk | 09:43 |

| jwb_ | can you kindly go back on all those dozens of bugs you set to incomplete and set them back to confirmed where they belong? | 09:45 |

| jwb_ | they all have perfectly obvious steps to reproduce which you did not bother trying before setting them to incomplete | 09:46 |
| jwb_ | if the bug has steps to reproduce, you should try it before setting them to incomplete. a confirmed bug is confirmed until it can no longer be reproduced | 09:47 |
| jwb_ | how did you eve decide to set these to incomplete? just because they are old? | 09:47 |
| rusivi | Honestly, I've been flamed by micahg about Debian bugs, I'm avoiding those altogether moving forward. | 09:48 |
| micahg | rusivi: I did not flame you | 09:48 |
| rusivi | micahg: jk | 09:49 |
| jwb_ | i am honestly curious why you thought screwing up my bugs was a great idea | 09:49 |
| rusivi | jwb_ hey sorry didn't mean to get you all worked up about it :) I'm a little new to bug zapping as you noticed | 09:51 |
| rusivi | micahg: this is an example of where that "advice" scenario fits in nicely | 09:52 |
| micahg | rusivi: I still don't get what you mean | 09:52 |

| micahg | rusivi: we give guidance in here when people ask | 09:54 |
| rusivi | jwb_ It's really not that big of a deal, your the professional and reporter, just wanted to see if this was still active | 09:55 |
| jwb_ | i don't want to have to play whack-a-mole with all my launchpad reports just because there's a new version of ubuntu | 09:55 |

| jwb_ | reasons including no longer reproducible, or someone committed code that we reasonable expect fixed the problem | 09:56 |
| jwb_ | i'm picking on rusivi but it's actually a project-wide problem of people setting bugs to incomplete for no particular reason | 09:57 |
| rusivi | jwb_ I agree that just b/c a new ubuntu comes up, a status update should be asked for. However, regarding 19125 no comments since Intrepid, and current version in Lucid that was my reasoning | 09:57 |
| rusivi | jwb_ please pick on me helps me learn ;) | 09:57 |
| rusivi | jwb_ I mean just b/c new ubuntu, a status updates should not be asked for. | 09:58 |

| Tiibiidii | ubuntu-bug is only for ubuntu bugs, right? | 10:50 |

| micahg | Tiibiidii: ubuntu-bug is for anything in the ubuntu repositories | 10:51 |
| Tiibiidii | i remember that the instruction for using apport-collect where present in the bug reporting page, but it seems that for unity it's missing | 10:51 |
| Tiibiidii | ok, but unity is a separate project | 10:52 |
| Tiibiidii | so, shouldn't the unity project be used as the first stop for reporting bugs? | 10:52 |
| Tiibiidii | should all the bugs be reported to the ubuntu package of unity and then (optionally?) add this also to the unity project? | 10:53 |

| ironicdemise | I don't want to sound stupid or anything, this is my first time on the irc. | 14:07 |
| ironicdemise | Can anybody tell me why registering my nick won't work because my emails are invalid? | 14:07 |
| ironicdemise | As in, they are valid and irc won't accept them. | 14:07 |
| Tiibiidii | ironicdemise, don't know... actually i find irc outdated and crappy | 14:20 |
| Tiibiidii | i don't know what your email address is, but keep in mind that validating an email address is almost impossible to do correctly: | 14:21 |
| Tiibiidii | http://haacked.com/archive/2007/08/21/i-knew-how-to-validate-an-email-address-until-i.aspx | 14:21 |
| ironicdemise | Well outdated it must be, but I guess it's got some uses and I don't want to just "assume" it's not worth my time... | 14:21 |
| Tiibiidii | (in the meaning that, almost every validator is too strict, and at the end you have to assume it works, and try that mail on the field) | 14:22 |
| Tiibiidii | <ironicdemise> Well outdated it must be, but I guess it's got some uses and I don't want to just "assume" it's not worth my time... <-- yesyes, that's the problem... everybody's using it ;) | 14:22 |
| Tiibiidii | however, tipically you don't register the nick with "irc" | 14:23 |
| Tiibiidii | you register the nick with a bot managed by the guys who keep the irc server online | 14:23 |
| ironicdemise | bye? | 14:23 |
| Tiibiidii | that is, the NickServ | 14:24 |
| Tiibiidii | lol, xchat crashed | 14:24 |
| ironicdemise | aha, so do I just register the nick each time? | 14:24 |
| ironicdemise | (using pidgin) | 14:24 |
| Tiibiidii | mhn, no | 14:24 |
| Tiibiidii | i don't use pidgin | 14:24 |
| Tiibiidii | it was quite bad for irc as far as i remember | 14:25 |
| ironicdemise | yeah nickserv just shot a "invalid email" at me | 14:25 |
| ironicdemise | it "seems" fine so far, but I don't know what to expect | 14:25 |
| Tiibiidii | mhn, i don't know... that's all it says? "invalid email"? | 14:25 |
| Tiibiidii | there are no strange characters? | 14:25 |
| Tiibiidii | maybe you're better off trying to ask in #freenode | 14:26 |

| ironicdemise | it's got a period | 14:26 |
| ironicdemise | I will do, I will do. | 14:26 |
| ironicdemise | Wrong place entirely for the noob chat. | 14:26 |
| Tiibiidii | lol, for me it's not a problem :) | 14:26 |
| ironicdemise | Well I expected more people to be talking here... | 14:27 |

| nigelb | I wonder where the video is.... | 15:12 |
| yofel | iirc the mozilla crash reporter was turned on, so I don't think he's talking about apport | 15:13 |

| hggdh | yofel, drizzle: chrisccoulson announced we would be directly forwarding crashes to b.m.o | 15:15 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, we're doing that in lucid and maverick now | 15:15 |
| hggdh | I do not know if it is automatic, or there is a Q posed to the user, though (FF does not crash with me) | 15:15 |
| chrisccoulson | firefox crash reports in launchpad are basically useless | 15:15 |

| chrisccoulson | i've closed the bug report with a response already ;) | 15:18 |
| chrisccoulson | that user has been commenting on a few bug reports related to the crash reporter, and posting incorrect information | 15:18 |
| hggdh | thank you chrisccoulson, I was going to test it (and I really like the idea of a 'crashme' addon... I used to have a special module to do that when I was support for MVS/Roscoe | 15:21 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, i can't get crashme to work in FF3.6 currently though (it works fine in FF4.0) | 15:22 |
| chrisccoulson | but, crashme is cool, i've been using it for testing in ff4.0 :) | 15:22 |
| hggdh | yes, just noted it does not quite crash on 3.6 :-) | 15:22 |
| chrisccoulson | we already have a fair few crash reports from ubuntu users if you look through http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/query/query?product=Firefox&version=Firefox%3A3.6.9&platform=linux&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&date=09%2F15%2F2010+07%3A26%3A13&query_search=signature&query_type=exact&query=&build_id=&process_type=any&hang_type=any&do_query=1 | 15:27 |
| chrisccoulson | although, it's difficult to tell which ones are from ubuntu users | 15:27 |
| chrisccoulson | i can tell by looking at the debug identifiers and see if they match the crash symbols i've submitted to mozilla | 15:28 |
| chrisccoulson | but i'm not sure if there is another way | 15:28 |

| fuorviatos | Hello | 18:01 |
| fuorviatos | I'm testing Maverick in beta and have probably found a bug. It's hapening on the last update, while samba package is being configured, the whole process just hangs | 18:02 |
| fuorviatos | What category should it be reported and how to collect information on it? | 18:03 |
| MichealH | fuorviatos: Just get apport to collect the data and then file it | 18:03 |
| yofel | that's odd, I remember someone in #ubuntu+1 having that issue yesterday, the samba upgrade here went fine though | 18:04 |
| fuorviatos | MichealH: Ok, thanks, but what process should I append to "apport" ? | 18:04 |
| micahg | fuorviatos: yes, I had that too | 18:05 |
| MichealH | samba? | 18:05 |
| fuorviatos | micahg: Has it been reported yet? | 18:05 |
| MichealH | fuorviatos: ^^ | 18:05 |
| micahg | I solved the problem by manually stopping samba | 18:05 |
| micahg | fuorviatos: no | 18:05 |
| micahg | fuorviatos: or rather, idk | 18:05 |
| * fuorviatos guess it should | 18:05 | |
| fuorviatos | I'm reporting it | 18:07 |
| fuorviatos | Can I add a screenshot? | 18:07 |
| yofel | sure, but can't you just copy and paste the installation log? | 18:07 |
| micahg | fuorviatos: please subscribe my IRC nick to the bug, thanks | 18:07 |
| fuorviatos | micahg: OK. | 18:08 |
| fuorviatos | What about the screenshot? Can it be appended too? | 18:08 |
| yofel | it can | 18:08 |
| yofel | just add it as an attachment | 18:09 |
| yofel | if someone can reproduce that, it would make sense to make the pre/postinst scripts verbose and see if it hangs there.. | 18:10 |
| fuorviatos | micahg: How can I add you? | 18:20 |
| micahg | fuorviatos: subscribe someone else, search for my IRC nick | 18:20 |
| fuorviatos | How can I stop samba? | 18:21 |
| MichealH | sudo service stop samba ? | 18:21 |
| MichealH | killall samba? | 18:21 |
| MichealH | ^^ | 18:22 |
| MichealH | That one | 18:22 |
| fuorviatos | upstart tells me "/etc/init.d/samba no such file or directory" | 18:22 |
| fuorviatos | sorry about making it offtopic here | 18:22 |
| fuorviatos | it can't be killed because there is no such a process | 18:23 |

| CajunTechie | Charlie: Ok, but where do I put it? The instructions seem to sound like it's part of the Ubuntu community site. | 18:38 |
| yofel | CajunTechie: you open a page like 'wiki.ubuntu.com/CajunTechie' (use you launchpad name) where it will ask you if you want to create the site | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | you can use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CharlieKravetz as an example. It does become part of the Ubuntu site. | 18:39 |
| CajunTechie | Charlie: Great! Got it! Thanks :-) | 18:39 |
| devildante | hi everybody! :) | 18:40 |
| * devildante is stupid, he forgot the meeting :( | 18:40 | |

| CajunTechie | Hey guys, one more question: I just setup the prereqs for joining the Hug Day tomorrow and getting a mentor. Any chance I'll be able to participate or will I need to wait until I'm assigned a mentor? | 20:01 |
| charlie-tca | You can participate | 20:04 |
| charlie-tca | Just ask any questions you have here, and we will do our best to answer | 20:04 |
| charlie-tca | But, please, do ask if you are unsure of anything. | 20:05 |
| charlie-tca | CajunTechie: you might want to read this before starting - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca | It has some really good information in it | 20:07 |
| CajunTechie | Excellent Charlie. I'm reading that now. I'm excited. This is my first Hug Day | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca | Welcome aboard! | 20:14 |
| * nigelb sees first of bugzilla mail hitting inbox | 20:27 | |
| * yofel got some gtk bugzilla updates a while ago, freedesktop was yesterday already | 20:31 | |
| rusivi | Can someone please review bug 638260 for wishlist status? | 20:37 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 638260 in malone "Launchpad's "oldest first" sort does not do so properly (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/638260 | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca | rusivi: since that is against launchpad, bugcontrol can't set importance on it | 20:38 |
| rusivi | ahhhh ok | 20:39 |
| rusivi | charlie-tca: does Launchpad have their own IRC channel I chould politely ask for their review? | 20:39 |
| jibel | rusivi, that's a launchpad bug and a launchpad developer has already set it to invalid. | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | Might be better to ask that as a question to launchpad | 20:40 |
| pedro_ | rusivi, #launchpad | 20:40 |

| trond- | hi room. I have a dell e4310 and when running kernel 2.6.35-21 I am getting serious screen flickering, when I'm running 2.6.32-22 I am not getting flickering... | 20:48 |
| yofel | you mean -20 | 20:49 |
| trond- | 2.6.32-22-generic is the one I am running now | 20:49 |
| trond- | I was running 2.6.35-21 (I believe it was, could have been 20) It installed when I did an update. | 20:50 |
| trond- | (and don't ask me to install it again, because the flickering was really annoying) | 20:51 |
| yofel | ah right, missed that -22 had been uploade | 20:51 |
| yofel | *uploaded | 20:51 |
| trond- | :) | 20:51 |
| yofel | well, if -22 fixes your flickering then there's nothing to report | 20:51 |
| trond- | well, the 2.6.32-22 fixes it | 20:52 |
| trond- | mind the 32, not the 35. | 20:52 |
| yofel | err, right, I'm getting tired, can you file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux' while running 2.6.35-21 and test the upstream kernel too? | 20:53 |
| yofel | actually | 20:53 |
| yofel | wait a bit until 35-22 is built and test that first | 20:54 |
| trond- | I'll wait for that one to be built (maybe). Since it is stable now, and since this is a production computer, I'm not really that keen on upgrading to something that makes it less nice to work with. | 20:55 |
| bilalakhtar | After how many days did the bug watch updater run? So many messages! | 21:29 |
| nigelb | bilalakhtar: looks like you're back on your mail reading :) | 21:30 |
| * bilalakhtar has been reading his mail since the very beginning | 21:30 | |
| nigelb | bilalakhtar: how did you miss the mail about bug watch updater getting an update? | 21:31 |
| nigelb | :) | 21:31 |
| bilalakhtar | nigelb: when? on the BC list? | 21:32 |
| * bilalakhtar discards messages that seem too much about bugs :) | 21:32 | |
| nigelb | bilalakhtar: u-d | 21:32 |
| bilalakhtar | nigelb: ah, I found and joined the u-d ML today | 21:33 |
| bilalakhtar | before I was on u-d-d and u-d-a and u-m | 21:33 |
| bilalakhtar | and many others | 21:33 |
| nigelb | u-d is like the most important list :) | 21:33 |
| bilalakhtar | I am subscribed to a total of 20 mailing lists | 21:33 |
| * nigelb stopped counting a while back | 21:33 | |
| bilalakhtar | 3 in debian, 6 for PHP, the rest in Ubuntu :) | 21:34 |
| * micahg is subscribed to 21 for Ubuntu/Debian/Linaro | 21:34 | |
| bcurtiswx | mailing lists, is there a nice program that manages those well? | 21:35 |
| nigelb | evolution | 21:36 |
| micahg | bcurtiswx: mailman? | 21:36 |
| nigelb | evolution is the most geek friendly app I've seen so far :) | 21:36 |
| micahg | Thunderbird, ftw! | 21:36 |

| nisshh | meh, i just use gmail and pipe it into seperate folders | 21:38 |
| bilalakhtar | I have a total of 4 accounts, so aggregate it all with gmail (I hate forwarding, so using this way) | 21:38 |
| bilalakhtar | Evolution can give messages sometimes like 'Cannot open message foo' or 'Error expunging trash' | 21:39 |
| nisshh | bilalakhtar: well hey there mister youngest-motu-ever :) | 21:39 |

| * bcurtiswx runs | 21:46 | |
| vish | !mentor | 21:47 |
| ubot2 | Looking for a helping hand with bug triage? Read the wiki for information about requesting a bugsquad mentor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Mentors | 21:47 |
| vish | bcurtiswx: could you update your time available ^ there ? | 21:48 |
| bcurtiswx | yeah | 21:48 |
| vish | jibel: you mentioned that your students havent responded either, right? | 21:49 |
| vish | if they havent responded to two mails> they get deactivated! | 21:50 |
| vish | nigelb: i missed last meeting.. so was it that your student hasnt replied yet? or.. he is not free now? | 21:52 |
| bcurtiswx | vish, updated. You may want to alphabetize the list at some point | 21:53 |
| nigelb | vish: replied once, didn't respond to second mail to contact me or reply with intent to partcipate | 21:53 |
| nigelb | (second mail after 3 weeks of no contact after initial reply) | 21:53 |
| vish | bcurtiswx: its arranged according to time available.. but the inactive mentors were moved down, recently | 21:53 |
| nisshh | its rediculous how many people just walk off on the bugsquad mentors, makes me sad :( | 21:53 |
| vish | nigelb: thx.. deactivate.. | 21:54 |
| bcurtiswx | vish, ah OK. I didn't move myself back up.. i'll leave that to you almighty mentor list master :P | 21:54 |
| vish | ;p | 21:54 |
| nigelb | bcurtiswx: btw, I heard about the great fun you had at that fest :) | 21:54 |
| bcurtiswx | yeah, it was cool. Wish it didn't have to end | 21:55 |
| nigelb | ma co told me about the table positioning etc | 21:55 |
| bcurtiswx | it was my first too | 21:55 |
| bcurtiswx | yeah it was almost perfect, we were an extension cord away from a power supply | 21:55 |
| bcurtiswx | we didn't have an extension cord :( | 21:55 |
| nigelb | Aw. | 21:55 |
| nigelb | Netbooks ftw | 21:56 |
| bcurtiswx | yeah, i need those just for the sheer battery life | 21:56 |
| bcurtiswx | so who here's going to UDS? | 21:56 |
| * nigelb will be there. In person or remote, undecided. | 21:56 | |
| vish | oooh! 3 students all in bcurtiswx's time slot! ;p | 21:57 |
| * bcurtiswx applied for support. <crosses fingers> | 21:57 | |
| vish | now whom do i choose! o.o | 21:57 |
| bcurtiswx | yeah i seem to be one of the few east coast mentors in the US | 21:57 |
| nigelb | bcurtiswx: but but, there are people like micahg who don't seem to be away at any time | 21:57 |
| nigelb | (or vish for that matter :p) | 21:57 |
| vish | nigelb: me? i guess you are more lucky, since we are on the same TZ ;) | 21:58 |
| nigelb | vish: lucky? for being around on IRC all the time? | 21:59 |
| bcurtiswx | i think next time canonical wants to ship over someone from the UK (aka Jono) they should make it easier on them and make it east coast | 21:59 |
| nisshh | vish: nigelb has to put up with you nattering on to him all day :) | 21:59 |
| nigelb | bcurtiswx: where's detroit? | 21:59 |

| bcurtiswx | no | 22:00 |
| nigelb | ah | 22:00 |
| bcurtiswx | but maybe ET, | 22:00 |

| vish | ;) | 22:04 |
| nigelb | vish: I meant the sleep cycle is a myth | 22:04 |
| micahg | nigelb: well, not a myth, but I"m trying to figure out how many hours in my rhythy | 22:04 |
| micahg | *rhythm | 22:04 |
