| wgrant | Where would I file a bug about the panel configuration in the installer? | 01:38 |
|---|---|---|
| hggdh | ubuiquity? | 01:38 |
| hggdh | or debian-installer | 01:38 |
| wgrant | It's the panel config used around Ubiquity, though. Not Ubiquity itself. | 01:39 |
| hggdh | oh. Then I am sorry, I do not know. | 01:42 |
| charlie-tca | wgrant: file it against ubiquity and it will get moved to the right place. Ubiquity or casper handles pretty much everything to do with installer | 01:56 |
| wgrant | charlie-tca: Thanks. | 02:00 |

| kaushal | hi | 06:52 |
| kaushal | how can i start helping in fixing bugs | 06:52 |
| micahg | kaushal: this is the wrong place to 'fix' bugs, we 'triage' in here :) | 06:52 |
| kaushal | ok | 06:52 |
| micahg | kaushal: would you like to start with that? or are you set on 'fixing'? | 06:52 |
| kaushal | start with | 06:53 |
| micahg | kaushal: k :) | 06:53 |
| kaushal | actually to be precise | 06:53 |
| kaushal | micahg: please guide | 06:53 |
| micahg | kaushal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage | 06:53 |
| kaushal | Triage means ? | 06:53 |
| micahg | kaushal: triage is making sure there is enough information in a bug for the developers | 06:54 |
| kaushal | micahg: ok | 06:54 |
| kaushal | so do i need to register myself ? | 06:54 |
| micahg | kaushal: you can request a mentor here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~bugsquad-mentorship | 06:55 |
| kaushal | micahg: what does it mean ? | 06:56 |
| kaushal | please help me understand | 06:56 |
| micahg | kaushal: someone to one on one guide you | 06:56 |
| kaushal | oh ok | 06:56 |
| micahg | kaushal: but you can always feel free to ask questions in here | 06:56 |
| kaushal | micahg: so its a best place | 06:57 |
| kaushal | right | 06:57 |
| micahg | kaushal: yeah, that's what we do in here, triage | 06:58 |
| kaushal | micahg: you motivated me :D | 07:01 |
| kaushal | appreciate it | 07:01 |
| kaushal | micahg: also if i want to fix the bugs is it easy to do ? | 07:02 |
| micahg | kaushal: that depends on your abilities, I don't want to discourage you from fixing as well | 07:03 |
| micahg | that's harder to mentor | 07:03 |
| kaushal | micahg: so what all programming languages to be known ? | 07:06 |
| kaushal | to help in fixing the bugs ? | 07:07 |
| micahg | kaushal: python, C, C++, Java, Ruby, PHP, just about anything | 07:07 |
| kaushal | ok | 07:07 |
| kaushal | thats a lot :( | 07:07 |
| micahg | kaushal: any of them are fine :) | 07:08 |
| kaushal | ok | 07:08 |

| njm | Hey Guys, since I updated my Ubuntu 10.04 Remix on my netbook, my 3G USB Dongle doesn't work anymore... It says: waiting for usb device to settle in dmesg. Any ideas? | 10:01 |
| persia | zyga, You might try apport-collect on an existing bug also, or to grab the bug details, and run apport-retrace locally | 13:56 |
| zyga | persia, I'll reproduce the bug and see if I get a full backtrace this time | 13:56 |
| zyga | yes! | 13:56 |
| zyga | pretty | 13:57 |
| persia | zyga, The nice thing about apport-retrace is that it automatically calculates the correct set of ddebs to install :) | 13:57 |
| zyga | persia, is there a way to use apport when using gdb directly on the crashed program? | 13:57 |
| persia | I'm not sure. When I can't figure it out from reading the stacktrace, I'll usually run apport-retrace locally first, and then just use gdb (as the symbols are now all available) | 13:58 |
| persia | But to be honest, if I can't figure it out from the stacktrace, I usually find another bug to fix :) | 13:58 |
| hggdh | zyga: if you are GDB-ing a programme, and it crashes, apport will *not* get kicked | 14:01 |
| hggdh | and to make more clear what persia said: (1) sudo apport-retrace -o trash <crashFile> <- this will install any needed dbgsym packages; | 14:02 |
| hggdh | (2) after (1) finishes: apport-retrace -g <crashFile> <- this will start GDB on the crash | 14:03 |
| hggdh | and... morning persia :-) | 14:04 |
| persia | hggdh, Thanks: I shouldn't assume people read manpages as much as I do :) | 14:05 |
| zyga | thanks guys, I de-duped this problem and added some notes | 14:09 |

| bcurtiswx_ | can i apt-get source a lucid package from maverick? | 15:28 |
| persia | bcurtiswx, Yes, but it's tricky. | 15:30 |
| bcurtiswx_ | hmm, i will just steal it from LP then.. thx persia | 15:30 |
| persia | Options: 1) change "maverick" to "lucid" on your deb-src lines in sources.list | 15:30 |
| persia | 2) add duplicate lucid deb-src lines, and pass the version to apt when requesting the download | 15:31 |
| persia | 3) create a lucid schroot in maverick, and grab it inside the schroot | 15:31 |
| persia | Personally, I use 3) because it's handy to have schroots around for testing anyway. | 15:31 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i can pbuilder-lucid it | 15:32 |
| bcurtiswx_ | or at least, im more used to that | 15:32 |
| persia | There you go then :) | 15:32 |
| persia | Just login to your pbuilder chroot, apt-get source somewhere bind-mounted, and have at it. | 15:33 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia, thx again :) | 15:39 |
| hggdh | there is pull-lp-source also: pull-lp-source whatever lucid | 15:50 |

| AbhiJit | hello | 18:34 |
| AbhiJit | in this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/644536 what does he mean by 'passing' to browser? because copy pasting is not re producing the error. | 18:34 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 644536 in evolution (Ubuntu) "truncates long clickable URL links (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] | 18:34 |
| vish | AbhiJit: i can confirm that bug.. ;) | 18:34 |
| AbhiJit | no :( | 18:35 |
| * AbhiJit wants to confirm! | 18:35 | |
| AbhiJit | :( | 18:35 |
| AbhiJit | vish, can you reproduce that bug? how? what is 'passing to browser'? | 18:35 |
| vish | AbhiJit: lol, i meant i can see that bug happening.. | 18:35 |
| vish | AbhiJit: you can confirm :) | 18:35 |
| AbhiJit | vish, yah but how can you reproduce that? copy pasting the urn from evlution to chromium is not reproducing that bug here! | 18:36 |
| vish | AbhiJit: if you have a long link in emails,esp in plain text mails, the email will cut the link in two lines, if you click the link evolution will only recognize the first line | 18:36 |
| vish | AbhiJit: its almost like pasting a very long link in irc.. | 18:37 |
| AbhiJit | vish, yah i send one email to my gmail using the same long link in the bug and its not clickable. i need to copy paste but it was not truncated | 18:37 |
| vish | AbhiJit: "not clickable" is what the bug is about ;) | 18:38 |
| * vish reads again.. | 18:38 | |
| AbhiJit | vish, no it isnt | 18:38 |
| vish | AbhiJit: to me thats what the "passing off" means | 18:39 |
| vish | AbhiJit: you can ask a question and get that clarified :) | 18:39 |
| AbhiJit | vish, ok thanks! | 18:39 |
| vish | AbhiJit: btw, howz the mentoring going on.. ? | 18:39 |
| AbhiJit | vish, not going on. because not having commaon available online time. my college is full day and he is busy also thats why i came here to ask ! | 18:40 |
| AbhiJit | :( | 18:40 |
| vish | AbhiJit: hmm.. what time is best for you now? | 18:41 |
| vish | maybe we can switch mentors.. | 18:41 |
| AbhiJit | vish, sunday! one hour! | 18:41 |
| vish | AbhiJit: heh! no mentor for you! ;p | 18:41 |
| AbhiJit | ohh!!! :( | 18:41 |
| vish | j/k | 18:41 |
| AbhiJit | yah | 18:41 |
| AbhiJit | :) | 18:41 |
| vish | AbhiJit: just ask here when you have doubts .. | 18:41 |
| AbhiJit | vish, ok i wll | 18:42 |
| vish | AbhiJit: i'm kinda sure there must be a bug for that in evolution already.. | 18:43 |
| vish | its been like that as long as i remember, so someone might have already filed a bug.. | 18:43 |
| AbhiJit | vish, i see now actualy i am not doing anytihng to that bug because i ddnt understood it!!! | 18:43 |
| AbhiJit | also i cant reproduce it! | 18:44 |
| AbhiJit | ok vish m going to sleep! what about you? | 18:46 |
| vish | AbhiJit: i'm going to get up! | 18:46 |

| Guest71932 | hi can i here report a bug about maverick merkat? | 23:13 |
| kklimonda | Guest71932: no, you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs - in brief use either Help->Report a Problem... or ubuntu-bug <package name> | 23:15 |
| Guest71932 | i was register on that page, but dont now how and whre can i report a bug about bluetooth problem with kernel since 2.6.33 | 23:17 |
| kklimonda | we've never had .33 kernel | 23:19 |
| Guest71932 | it is not spezifik an ubuntu problem, all of linux distros have it on my laptop acer travelmate tm8571 | 23:20 |
| kklimonda | if you think it's a kernel issue you can use ubuntu-bug linux | 23:20 |
| kklimonda | in this case you should report it upstream, http://bugzilla.kernel.org | 23:20 |
| Guest71932 | i now in lucid is int a problem, but maverick m. daily cd of today and other distros since new kernle | 23:21 |
| Guest71932 | i am wondering, my laptop is an linux laptop not windows | 23:22 |
