| jibel | algnod_, that's weird. micahg have you already seen that kind of behavior ? ^ | 10:48 |
| jibel | algnod_, I'd ask him to create a new profile a see if it still occurs. | 10:49 |
| jibel | s/a/and | 10:49 |
| jibel | algnod_, if he's unable to reproduce it in a reliable way that's hard for a developer to work on a fix. | 10:50 |
| algnod__ | true, but what happens to the bug report, do you just mark it as invalid? | 10:51 |
| algnod__ | jibel, true, but what happens to the bug report, do you just mark it as invalid? | 10:52 |
| jibel | algnod_, no ask him to try with a new profile and set it to incomplete, we don't know if it's a user error or a real bug, or a plugin causing the crash. | 10:52 |
| jibel | algnod_, there's maybe something in .xsession-errors, you can ask him to attach this file next time it's happening | 10:52 |
| jibel | algnod__, there's maybe something in .xsession-errors, you can ask him to attach this file next time it's happening | 10:53 |
| algnod__ | jibel, dumm question, what is a "new profile"? | 10:53 |
| jibel | algnod__, it's an empty firefox profile, that means no plugin, no theme, no nothing, it creates a clean firefox session. | 10:54 |
| jibel | algnod__, there is a specific documentation for firefox at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs | 10:55 |
| algnod__ | jibel, thanks I will take a look at that | 10:55 |
| jibel | algnod__, you can manage the firefox profile with "firefox -ProfileManager", be careful to not delete your current profile | 10:56 |

| charlie-tca | yes | 15:33 |
| charlie-tca | skeeby: sure, it all happens right here, too! | 15:34 |
| skeeby | tomorrow is my first | 15:34 |
| skeeby | i just joined the community | 15:34 |
| charlie-tca | Great! Welcome aboard | 15:34 |
| skeeby | looking forward to getting involved =) | 15:34 |
| charlie-tca | It is a great way to help out. We can always use help with bugs | 15:34 |
| skeeby | oh yeah | 15:35 |
| skeeby | is there anything i should do to get prepared? | 15:35 |
| skeeby | ive read over and signed the code of conduct, read the triage guide, and im on the mailing list for bugsquad | 15:36 |
| persia | skeeby, You might want to try triaging a few random bugs just to get a feel for the procedures in practice. | 15:37 |
| persia | Ask here when you're unsure. But things can get fast or busy during hug days, so sometimes it's harder to get targeted assistance. | 15:37 |
| skeeby | yeah i thats why i figured id get prepared today | 15:38 |
| skeeby | i havent triaged any bugs yet, but ive came across a few of my own after installing 10.10 earlier this week, and provided some feedback on the bugreports that were already listed | 15:39 |
| charlie-tca | skeeby: this is great information - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs | 15:41 |
| skeeby | im actually looking at that right now | 15:42 |
| skeeby | there was a page i came across yesterday i think that had like 99 hot bugs that have yet to be triaged | 15:43 |
| skeeby | does that ring a bell? | 15:43 |
| persia | skeeby, Join #ubuntu-bugs-announce: new bugs show up there, and you can grab one that looks interesting. | 15:45 |
| persia | Existing lists have probably already been gone over a couple times, so those may be harder. | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | I don't which page that was, but here is tomorrows - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20100930 | 15:46 |
| micahg | jibel: a middle click can close a tab, so an accidental middle click maybe | 15:49 |
| jibel | micahg, right, I was thinking about a user error too. | 15:50 |
| skeeby | ok so i am setting up my tools right now for bugday, and i have to configure postfix | 15:55 |
| skeeby | ive never used it before, do i wanna just setup my gmail acct with it? | 15:56 |
| skeeby | i feel like an utter noob asking this... | 15:57 |
| charlie-tca | I don't use postfix | 15:59 |
| skeeby | dang | 16:00 |
| skeeby | it was part of the qa tools package i downloaded | 16:00 |
| skeeby | when postfix asks for a system mail name, do i just create my own or is this something i need to find somehwere | 16:06 |
| charlie-tca | usually the domain name used by you | 16:08 |
| hggdh | skeeby: why would you need postfix? Are you hosting your own email system? | 16:08 |
| skeeby | no but it was part of the hugday tool package | 16:09 |
| skeeby | if i dont need to use it even better =p | 16:10 |
| micahg | hggdh: postfix is pulled in automatically by devscripts by default now I think | 16:10 |
| hggdh | micahg: oh. I guess never noticed ;-) | 16:11 |
| skeeby | if its something that is useful for bugs then id like to set it up if it helps | 16:11 |
| micahg | hggdh: you probably had it installed already ;) | 16:11 |
| skeeby | but alas ive never used it | 16:11 |
| hggdh | yep | 16:11 |
| micahg | (devscripts I mean) | 16:11 |
| hggdh | skeeby: configure it for local delivery | 16:12 |
| hggdh | and forget the rest, until you *really* have time to read the docs on it | 16:12 |
| skeeby | dang | 16:12 |
| skeeby | so setting it for local only, the system mail name can be whatever i want then right? | 16:13 |
| jibel | skeeby, or install a nullmailer like nullmailer or ssmtp before installing devscripts. | 16:14 |
| jibel | postfix is pulled by bsd-mailx. | 16:14 |

| skeeby | since ive never used it i figured itd be a good idea not to try and configure it till i know what im doing =p | 16:18 |
| hggdh | ok. give it your computer's name | 16:19 |

| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 648959 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Remove is grayed out for many entries in open with application (affects: 3) (heat: 16)" [Low,Confirmed] | 20:04 |
| pedro_ | njin, thanks | 20:04 |
| rusivi | bug#648959 looks WINE related, we may want to "affect project" -> WINE?! | 20:14 |
| yofel | bug 648959 | 20:15 |

| rusivi | I have noticed the same thing using WINE in the past | 20:15 |
| njin | rusivi, no is not wine, is general | 20:16 |
| pedro_ | njin, btw those are two bugs | 20:16 |
| rusivi | njin I am claiming (perhaps ignorantly) that the phenomenon quoted in bug 648959 is caused by WINE | 20:17 |

| pedro_ | one is the multiple instances of applications listed there which is a bug in the application | 20:17 |
| pedro_ | and the other is the remove button grayed out | 20:17 |
| pedro_ | but those are two separates issues and not related at all | 20:17 |
| njin | ops, yes i've remembered only the grayed romve button | 20:18 |
| njin | *remove | 20:18 |
| pedro_ | njin, could you perhaps edit it to just track the remove button being disabled there? | 20:18 |
| pedro_ | njin, as me and rusivi said previously the other issue is related to the apps | 20:19 |
| njin | yes , every duplicated apps | 20:19 |
| rusivi | pedro_ np | 20:19 |
| rusivi | :D | 20:19 |
| pedro_ | indeed | 20:20 |
| pedro_ | thanks njin rusivi | 20:20 |
| njin | pedro_: how can i track that the remove button don't work | 20:20 |
| pedro_ | njin, you might want to open a bug upstream for that | 20:34 |
| pedro_ | njin, probably is due to not having the rights to remove the applications listed there or something | 20:34 |
| njin | i try with sudo | 20:36 |
| njin | nothings to do with sudo nautilus, the button doesn't work | 20:40 |
| njin | pedro_: can we see toghether this bug tomorrow ?, now i've to run anothers three install test and is late here. | 20:46 |
| pedro_ | njin, sure, just ping me later | 20:47 |
| njin | ok, see tomorrw | 20:48 |
| njin | good night | 20:48 |
| pedro_ | see you :-) | 20:49 |
| bcurtiswx_ | vish, you only listed one mentee for me on the mentors wiki | 20:49 |
| intrader | I ran into (in 10.10) with a security blunder - when you mount fat volumes, you allow .COM, .BAT, and .EXE files to be executable. | 21:13 |
| persia | intrader, That's semi-intentional, and not enabled by default. | 21:15 |
| intrader | I know, formerly all fat files were executable, but come on, .EXE, .COM, are executable on X86 architectures. Security problem - tell the iranians with their mossad worm | 21:15 |
| persia | I don't believe WINE yet has sufficient support for most malware, but if it does, and you work with compatible executables, you'll need the same malware detection stuff you'd need in the environment that you're approaching. | 21:16 |
| intrader | persia, nothing to do with WINE. Just mount a fat volume | 21:17 |
| persia | Feel free to file a bug if you like. I don't think there's value in it bring private, but you could get more formal feedback from the security team. | 21:17 |
| persia | intrader, Doesn't most malware rely on some libraries? | 21:17 |
| intrader | persia, no, some do. Is there a list for security? | 21:18 |
| kees | intrader: you can easily disable it, but this is a step forward. as persia said, _everything_ was executable before, including exe/com/bat | 21:18 |
| yofel | kees: disable it? how? last time I looked at it showexec was hardcoded in udisks (or I'm too blind to find the setting to override it) | 21:19 |
| intrader | kees, a wrong step forward in my opinion. When a fat is mounted you should then change files with the hash command as first line, to executable would be a solution | 21:19 |
| persia | kees do you highlight on "security" or are you just omniscient? | 21:20 |
| intrader | persia, no I am just observant | 21:20 |
| kees | intrader: you can't change the perms on a CDROM | 21:21 |
| kees | persia: yeah, I highlight on security :) | 21:21 |
| kees | yofel: lack of configuration on this certainly seems like a problem. | 21:22 |
| pnt | anyone running 10.04 that can help me confirm a bug in scanf? | 21:23 |
| persia | pnt, Do you have a simple test program demonstrating it? | 21:23 |
| pnt | yeah, hold on | 21:23 |
| intrader | kees, persia, yofel: what's going on? yofel, it looks like I took a step into a beehive | 21:23 |
| pnt | int main(int argc, char *argv) { char *buf; scanf("%as", &buf); printf("%s\n", buf); return 0; } | 21:24 |
| persia | Expected? Actual? | 21:24 |
| intrader | kees, sorry, not when you mount, when open occurs. | 21:25 |
| kees | intrader: it's part of a long discussion, yes. basically, vfat via CDROM aren't executable. but Wine folks want to be able to run them. | 21:25 |
| kees | intrader: without Wine, those programs are pretty meaningless, so it's not a big deal if you don't have Wine. if you do, well, it's just like anything else, don't run binaries you don't trust. | 21:26 |
| persia | pnt, I get some warnings during compilation, but it seems to do what it says on the box. | 21:26 |
| pnt | persia, i expect it to allocated a string and store the result | 21:26 |
| persia | kees, I think intrader's point is that if one has an executable .COM that requires no libraries (pure machine code), and one attempts to execute it, it might execute. | 21:26 |
| kees | persia: right, but that's no different than inserting an ext3 usb stick that has exec perms | 21:27 |
| intrader | kees, to watch out for binaries you don't trust makes sense, but for the system to make .COM and .EXE executable, well that is another thing | 21:27 |
| persia | kees, Absolutely. | 21:28 |
| persia | intrader, The trick is a balance between helping the user not shoot themselves in the foot and allowing them to trim their toenails with firearms. | 21:28 |
| intrader | persia, you are right. The problem arouse when I copied a shell file to execute smalltalk's pharo, and in 10.10 it no longer works because .sh files are not executable in the context menu (in fact in 10.10, it offers no context option to 'Open' a shell file) | 21:30 |
| pnt | anyone running 10.04 with libc6-i686 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2 ?? | 21:30 |
| pnt | please message me if you are running said config and can help confirm a bug in scanf | 21:31 |
| kees | pnt: I can be; what's the output you get? | 21:31 |
| pnt | kees: see priv msg | 21:32 |
| kees | pnt: let's stay here, in case other people want to join in. :) | 21:33 |
| kees | pnt: it works fine for me. | 21:33 |
| pnt | #include <stdio.h> | 21:33 |
| pnt | #include <stdlib.h> | 21:33 |
| pnt | #include <errno.h> | 21:33 |
| pnt | #include <unistd.h> | 21:33 |
| pnt | int main(int argc, char *argv) | 21:33 |
| pnt | { char *buf; scanf("%as", &buf); printf("%s\n", buf); return 0; | 21:33 |
| pnt | } | 21:33 |
| pnt | try to run that | 21:33 |
| pnt | you should be able to type a string and have it printed back | 21:34 |
| kees | pnt: right, it works fine for me. | 21:34 |
| kees | pnt: what behavior are you seeing? | 21:34 |
| yofel | works fine without the #includes, but with them I get garbage back | 21:34 |
| pnt | what does it look like if you do ldd on the a.out? | 21:34 |
| pnt | im getting crap back | 21:35 |
| intrader | yofel, nothing has bee assigned to buf | 21:35 |
| pnt | let me try it without the includes | 21:35 |
| pnt | yeah, works without the includes | 21:35 |
| yofel | intrader: shouldn't scanf assign it? (I don't have much c experience..) | 21:35 |
| kees | pnt: you're not checking the result of the scanf | 21:35 |
| pnt | i'll see what one is screwing it up | 21:36 |
| kees | http://paste.ubuntu.com/502844/ | 21:36 |
| yofel | stdio.h is messing it up | 21:36 |
| intrader | yofel, I am not sure of this, but argv should be assigned to buf. | 21:36 |
| pnt | yeah, stdio | 21:36 |
| kees | pnt: compile with -Wall | 21:36 |
| yofel | intrader: the app reads from stdin, not the parameters | 21:37 |
| intrader | I have not done C in 20 years at least | 21:37 |
| pnt | yeah, see that, fixed it | 21:37 |
| pnt | stdio is still messing it up though | 21:37 |
| yofel | kees: what's '#define _GNU_SOURCE' btw? | 21:40 |
| BUGabundo | evening | 21:40 |
| yofel | hey BUGabundo | 21:40 |
| kees | yofel: makes all the extra fun things in glibc available | 21:41 |
| kees | yofel: it's just part of my standard boiler plate | 21:41 |
| kees | pnt: can you pastebin the program you're using that breaks? | 21:42 |
| pnt | kees: #define _GNU_SOURCE fixes it | 21:42 |
| kees | pnt: the "real" cause is the lack of return code checking on the scanf call :) | 21:42 |
| kees | pnt: without _GNU_SOURCE this happens if you check the return: | 21:43 |
| kees | $ ./scanf | 21:43 |
| kees | hello | 21:43 |
| kees | Did not read a string | 21:43 |
| pnt | http://pastebin.com/scMeLttb | 21:43 |
| pnt | i agree about the error checking and all, but it shouldn't be failing :) | 21:43 |
| pnt | http://pastebin.com/UCEUrgzy | 21:46 |
| pnt | with the error checking | 21:46 |
| kees | pnt: the "a" is a GNU extension. | 22:04 |
| * yofel completely missed the a.. | 22:08 | |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
