[04:23] should this bug be marked solved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/514834 the OP says that it can be marked as such. [04:23] Launchpad bug 514834 in linux (Ubuntu) "mic not working on toshiba satellite M305d with ubuntu karmic 9.10 (affects: 2) (heat: 19)" [Undecided,New] [04:25] seidos: yeah, I"ll mark it invalid, thanks [04:25] hmmm, looks like there isn't a "solved" option. [04:25] micahg, ok [04:25] seidos: done [04:26] * seidos nods @ micahg [04:54] I have some questions about bug reporting if someone is avail [04:55] !ask | slooksterpsv [04:55] slooksterpsv: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:55] pretty much I want to file a bug that's been reported, but it says fix released, but the bug still exists; do I just comment on that bug or create a new one? [04:55] slooksterpsv, which is that bug? [04:56] address? [04:56] gwibber not being able to add facebook accounts [04:57] slooksterpsv: please file a new bug and reference the old one [04:59] haha someone beat me to it [04:59] There's a "This bug affects me" button which you might want to press [05:00] not seeing it :( I saw it before on another bug related to this one, if its a duplicate of another bug would I be added already? [05:00] nevermind I'm an idiot [05:02] No, the UI just gets confusing sometimes. You'll get used to it. [05:03] ok; how can I help with bugs specifically besides reporting them? should I find work-arounds for temporary fixes? download the source and try to resolve the issue myself? try daily builds to see if it's resolved in those? or... cause I'd love to help with bugs, my programming knowledge is limited, but I know what I'm searching for depending on how well it's documented [05:05] slooksterpsv: have you read this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage [05:09] slooksterpsv, Often the best way to help is to track down the specific issue. Workarounds and temporary fixes aren't usually interesting, as they often can't be deployed for everyone. Daily build testing is a very scattergun approach. [05:10] ok [05:10] persia: scattershot :P [05:10] My experience is that something like 20% of bugs have a fix *somewhere* (maybe a blog post, maybe another distribution, maybe upstream, etc.), and it's worth testing and confirming those. [05:11] lifeless, Think scale. One can knock out a crowd with scattershot from a single gun, but scattering guns about can be just as effective, and gives one the opportunity to walk away, whistling nonchalantly. [05:12] But anyway, if you like, perhaps "using a shotgun to hunt ants" [05:13] alrighty, and you guys would be here or someone would be to assist me if I get stuck on where to go once I've got the basics like how to further help along those lines - this is a lot of documentation btw [05:13] slooksterpsv: there's usually a bug control member in here almost all the time [05:23] stlsaint: hey, you doing any triaging? [05:24] ok this is a whole lot of information to take down, but i gtg to bed work early tomorrow. so I'll try and help with bugs and that. see you tomorrow [07:07] is someone going to update the freenx ppa for maverick? [07:16] snadge, You'd have to hunt down the freenx PPA folk. We have nothing to do with that. [07:17] yeah i know.. i stupidly decided to update to maverick thinking i might be able to fix my nx problem [07:18] which is great, its kept the neatx server installed.. but i can only connect to it from windows nx client.. i get an error with the ubuntu one [07:21] i guess i'll just have to wait for the ppa to be updated.. since theres no other method i can see for getting it to work on ubuntu.. they all point to that ;) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [10:31] Hi [10:48] layn: Hi [10:48] xteejx: hi [10:49] xteejx: How are you? [10:49] layn: Good thanks, anything we can help with? [10:51] xteejx: Oh, thank you very kind are familiar with Oracle, then? [10:52] layn: I'm not unfortunately, sorry. Is it a bug, or a problem you are having? [10:54] layn: If it is a problem rather than a bug, you'd be better going to #ubuntu - most questions can be answered there :) [10:54] now I have no problems or bugs on my system but gave a look at the new bugs reported [10:55] layn: Don't worry, we are well aware of the number of bugs, and it is expected [10:55] that there will be some things which aren't 100% perfect [10:57] xteejx: you are a member of bug-squad [10:57] ? [10:57] layn: Yes, and Bug Control [10:58] xteejx: I, too, and I try to be helpful mome all of you as I always have even though I have many commitments here at work with the database [10:59] layn: That's cool, we're all volunteers anyway :) [10:59] Anyway I must go do some triaging I've been away for a couple of months and didn't get much done last night [10:59] xteejx: say I'm an Oracle DBA [10:59] hi, anyone here with knowledge about intel gfx chip on ubuntu? [10:59] miku_: Whats the problem? [10:59] layn, The trick is to only help when you have time: don't let it interfere (or you'll stop). Do let it (slowly) make you an expert in working with bugs, so you can easily establish a quick resolution if you encounter one that affects $work. [11:00] persia: Afternoon/evening persia :) [11:00] hey xteejx :) [11:00] !time [11:00] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [11:03] persia: I sometimes deviates from the database and I dedicate myself to ubuntu to get some time for me this is another trick [11:05] xteejx: i have 10.10 on mac mini and there is problems with video playback [11:05] xteejx: long latencies [11:06] Is this an Intel i945/965? [11:06] yes [11:06] Why am I not surprised :( [11:07] slowd eats cpu on every 10seconds so i traced it to the drm_crtc_helper.c [11:07] Honeslty, I doubt it's a bug, its a crap "graphics chip", have you enabled any restricted drivers [11:07] (don't think there are any for i945/965) [11:08] in drm_crtc_helper.c there is #define DRM_OUTPUT_POLL_PERIOD (10*HZ) [11:08] drm? What kind of video you trying to play? [11:08] in increased that to two hours :), and the video playback issue fixed [11:09] so apparently it is polling the display ports and that causes long latencies [11:09] of course is not a proper fix [11:09] ok dependencies resolved [11:09] Ok, have you filed a bug for this? [11:09] nope i haven't [11:09] miku_: You definitely should, and include your workaround :) [11:10] miku_: File with "ubuntu-bug linux" [11:10] i am at work so i can't use any tools to file it now :( [11:10] Ok no worries :) [11:12] i assume i should do 'ubuntu-bug linux' on that particular setup which is ill behaving? [11:12] The LPGM script is still not working!! It's a really simple fix... remove the extra tag from the xml file at http://people.canonical.com/~brian/greasemonkey/bugsquad-replies.xml - or is Brian thr only one who has access there? [11:13] miku_: Yup, it'll grab all your system hardware info for debugging [11:14] that was only issue i encountered with my mac mini so 10.10 rocks :) thankyou for making it [11:14] Me? I had very little to do with it :P [11:15] * xteejx thinks he should grab some breakfast...it's 11:15am [11:27] xteejx: he merged my branch, and I think the xml file is synced periodically from bazaar, you'll have to ask him for anything more specific [11:45] yofel: Ok, so it's a matter of time then, hopefully not too long, I'm hating the typing, slows down the triaging [11:45] agreed [11:47] actually http://people.canonical.com/~brian/greasemonkey/bugsquad-replies.xml seems fixed - does it still not work? [11:48] I still see "XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: ." [11:49] And no it doesn't work :( [11:49] Forget that [11:49] It does, I'm a dipstick didn't refresh lol [11:49] * xteejx shouts WOOHOO [11:50] yofel: Just a small note, the [Release+1 Testing] link still says Karmic Koala [11:51] eeek [11:51] lol [11:52] I'll update it to natty when I get the time and nobody else did it ^^ [11:52] yofel: Cool. Could I be really cheeky and ask to have the "Old untouched bugs" response put in? :) [11:54] well, brian's the one that maintaines the file, but I could add it and file a merge request I guess [11:54] Oh right - didn't realise :) [11:57] * xteejx has no heating on in his house, has the fan on full speed, and is still hot! [12:09] wow 20 bugs closed by me so far today (didn't have anything back after being asked something by tirager ~1.5 yrs old) [12:09] triager even === zyga is now known as zyga-lunch === zyga-lunch is now known as zyga === ivoks-afk is now known as ivoks [14:03] hi. i have a bug that is grub related but not necessarily really a grub bug. the essential problem is, that you use the actual device names in the grub config for the root parameter [14:03] if a user installs from an usb stick on a usb harddrive and unplugs the usb stick afterwards this causes a simple drop to the initrd shell on the next reboot [14:03] because /dev/sdc became /dev/sdb [14:04] so you should stick to uuid parameters [14:04] any suggestions where to report that and which package to use? [14:17] blubb [14:19] schnatta: grub [14:25] What's the command for ubotu to search what versions are in the repos? [14:27] !info linux [14:28] xteejx: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.35.6.7 (maverick), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [14:28] xteejx: There isn't an rmadison-like command though.

But it is also a sync/merge request, which means it should not be touched except for the steps shown in the page [15:20] Ah...ok [15:20] I should drop "merge" from the title for clarity, it is a pure sync...

You could mark it as invalid; modify the no response from reporter response to reflect we can't do anything until it can be reproduced [16:55] charlie-tca: Ok, cool thanks Charlie :) [16:55] Or put it back in "new" with a comment that we need it reproduced in a current version [16:56] Oops, to late, Invalidated it [16:56] s/to/too/ [16:56] That's okay. If it can be reproduced, they can set it back anyway [16:57] That's true. I left the "if you can give us the info..." bit in the message :) [16:57] xteejx, charlie-tca, this is not invalid this is the raw output from dpkg which is displayed in the dialog. [16:58] Is it still displaced broken? [16:58] I thought it shows the full text now [16:58] I also thought that [16:58] emma: wine-dev: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [16:58] is the issue [16:58] well, not emma [16:59] yes the message from dpkg is exactly [16:59] dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.1 (--remove): [16:59] Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [16:59] reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[17:06] Thanks for taking the time to help with that, jibel [17:06] I'm confused now, if it's fixed it should be Invalid right? [17:06] sbeattie, thanks. [17:06] or Fxi released even [17:07] sbeattie, is there a way to plug the testsuites coming with the packages in qa-r-t ? [17:07] jibel, do you mean you're testing it? [17:07] sbeattie, I'm thinking about coreutils for example [17:07] xteejx, yes, I'll test it, not now but I'll do. [17:08] xteejx, but if you're testing it then go, no problem. [17:08] jibel: if it's packaged, yes; we do that for mysql and postgresql. If it's not packaged, it can be done, but it's a bit more work. [17:08] jibel, Oh right, sorry I got confused, will set it Incomplete for now then [17:08] jibel, I'll be honest I'm on production machine I don't wanna cause breakages to find out :( [17:08] jibel: but yeah, taking advantage of upstream testsuites wherever we can would be great. [17:10] sbeattie, when testing SRUs, I run the testsuite shipped with the package when there is one. [17:11] sbeattie, There was a coreutils SRU recently and the testing in qa-r-t is rather ... basic while the one coming with the source is fairly complete. [17:12] jibel: right, the two testcases for coreutils were actually demos from an openweek session I gave on how to write testcases for qa-r-t. [17:12] sbeattie, I'll check how this is done for mysql and postgresql and see if I can do something with other testsuites. [18:16] I can't update without something going wrong [18:16] recently I had to reinstall because the latest kernel release disabled networking [18:19] jibel: coreutils comes with extensive tests in the source package; these tests are executed on build time. [18:20] jibel: also, you could grab the source and run _all_ the tests (root/non-root, expensive, etc).

[19:59] let me nag tsimpson ... :P [19:59] tsimpson: two users running natty [20:00] time to reopen #ubuntu+1 [20:00] yofel: kklimonda: charlie-tca: join us [20:00] You want to upgrade to Natty already, and don't want problems? [20:00] I am trying to do this gimp install [20:00] charlie-tca: I know, just kidding [20:00] BUGabundo: already? [20:00] come on guys, upgrade to natty and let us play together :) [20:01] kklimonda: sorry for being so slow [20:01] BUGabundo: it's closed :/ [20:01] was at work all day [20:01] just got home :P [20:01] devildante: it's "Ubuntua natty"? :D [20:01] now to find out which PPAs I can upgrade too [20:01] I guess NONE [20:01] nauthy [20:01] BUGabundo: it's a little early for that ;) [20:01] lol [20:01] no its not [20:01] I read Description: Ubuntu natty (development branch) [20:01] did the same last two cycles [20:02] devildante: natty nauthy [20:02] I did it too for the maverick cycle [20:02] he archive is still locked and there has only been one upload for natty [20:02] * BUGabundo stares at Mark [20:02] BUGabundo LOL [20:02] Now where did flipefr go? anybody know what he wanted with this gimp installation? [20:02] The following NEW packages will be installed: [20:02] cpp-4.5{a} g++-4.5{a} gcc-4.5{a} libcloog-ppl0{a} libelfg0{a} libgmpxx4ldbl{a} libmpc2{a} libppl-c2{a} libppl7{a} libstdc++6-4.5-dev{a} [20:02] The following packages will be upgraded: [20:02] base-files binutils chromium-browser chromium-browser-dbg chromium-browser-inspector cpp dpkg dpkg-dev dselect firefox firefox-branding firefox-gnome-support g++ gcc gmailwatcher libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dbg libc6-dev libc6-i386 libdpkg-perl xulrunner-1.9.2 [20:02] take firefox and chromium out of there [20:03] and tell me there hasn't been uploads [20:03] BUGabundo: well, I don't count the toolchain :) [20:04] still I'm surprised it's already there, there is nothing in natty-changes [20:04] why is everyone so surprised? [20:04] I've been doing this for a while [20:05] we don't live on the edge, like you do :P [20:05] edge of an airplane [20:06] 5 days for a 4300 mts high jump [20:06] parashoot may or may not be included [20:07] Well, the gimp install using software center in maverick worked. Let flipefr know if he comes back [20:10] hello to all, if i click on shutdown and pc instead of shutdown restart session at wich package assign ? thanks Fabio === BUGabundo is now known as BUGabundo_castan [20:13] hggdh, re coreutils testsuite, my question was does it makes sense to plug them with the qa-r-t or not ? [20:14] jibel: I briefly looked at separating the test suite from coreutils proper, but it is not as simple as I hoped [20:15] jibel: we _could_ just grab the package, and rebuild it [20:15] jibel: but I never went that far. I rebuild coreutils almost every day -- I provide upstream's CU on my PPA [20:17] hggdh, we were talking about coreutils, but while verifying SRUs, I've seen that many many packages comes with a testsuite, not always as elaborated as coreutils, and I'm wondering how we could glue those testsuites with our testsuite and if something as already been done this way ? [20:20] jibel: some work has been done -- IIRC, mysql tests are now pacakged by themselves. We could try the same with CU, and others [20:20] this would give us better coverage on SRUs [20:20] and postgresql too. [20:20] hggdh: remember, one of ways people fix FTBFS is to disable the test suite [20:21] or simply to speed up the build process, e.g gcc testsuite [20:22] yes, indeed. This is another reason tests should be separated [20:22] or java testsuite (30 hours) [20:25] hggdh: we started running the test suite for Firefox 4 in the daily PPA and it takes 2.5 hrs longer to build [20:26] yes, I understand. But somewhere, somehow, we should still run the tests. perhaps (probably?) not at build time [20:29] the firefox test suite really needs to be run at build time, as it depends on the build tree [20:29] i'm not sure it would be possible to run it elsewhere (you'd still need to run the whole build) [20:29] and then you're not testing what you've built in the archive [20:35] but it could also be run elsewhere -- for example, on regression testing [20:35] we could maybe proceed in 2 times, build and once the build is ok delegate the test somewhere else in order to have a non blocking test run. [20:37] so what we seem to be agreeing on (at least jibel and myself) is that it would be nice to be able to package the tests [20:38] and we are talking about large to huge test suite, but most of the packages have tiny testsuites. [20:38] large -- mysql, ffox, postgresql, coreutils === ivoks-afk is now known as ivoks [20:39] which also happen to be serious candidates for regression testing [20:39] huge, -- gcc, java [20:39] yep [20:48] look like someone turned up for a bit of rant Bug #573648 [20:49] Launchpad bug 573648 in bash (Ubuntu) "change the reason about why do not enable colored prompt by default (affects: 1) (heat: 24)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/573648 [20:49] what to do with that one (wishlist)?
