G__81hi everybody i am interested in contributing to Ubuntu. I am interested in fixing bugs and adding features, though adding features is a futuristic goal at the moment but bug fixing is something that i want to start off with16:16
G__81Can someone help me on this ?16:16
nisshhG__81, if you want to fix bugs in ubuntu, head over to #ubuntu-bugs16:24
devildante!contribute16:25
ubot2To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate16:25
devildantenisshh: ubuntu-bugs is only for bug triaging, not bug fixing16:25
nisshhdevildante, still be better than this channel though wouldnt it?16:25
G__81so which is the channel for bug fixing as such ?16:26
devildantenisshh: yeah, but that's no reason to give incorrect statements16:26
devildanteG__81: I don't think there is16:26
nisshhdevildante, sorry, i forgot, what would you suggest?16:26
devildanteG__81: but check the link I just gave16:26
devildante!contribute | G__8116:27
ubot2G__81: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate16:27
G__81devildante, have gone over the link as such16:27
devildanteah16:27
nisshhdevildante, i have seen people in #ubuntu-bugs who are fixing bugs though :|16:27
G__81or is it like i go to gnome channels and start it there and it gets merged here ? is that the process16:28
devildantenisshh: maybe off-topic, idk, but ubuntu-bugs is for bug triaging16:28
nisshhdevildante, yeah, i guess, ill remember that in the future16:28
devildanteG__81: if you go to gnome channels, it's no longer a direct contribution to Ubuntu ;)16:29
devildanteG__81: if you want to go that way: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove16:29
G__81devildante, yeah i understand that so if thats not then whats the direct way to do it in ubuntu16:30
devildanteG__81: you might want to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment16:31
G__81yes but its got a section called BugSquad but that deals only with Bug triaging16:32
G__81and of course talks a lot about packaging stuff but dont think it talks specifically about bugs in apps and the contact points for those16:33
devildanteG__81: you could fix papercut bugs, they are easy to fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bugs?field.status:list=TRIAGED16:35
G__81oh ok does it involve code changes ?16:47
devildanteG__81: of course :)16:47
G__81oh great thanks devildante so generally whats the process to fix as such, I just have one laptop where i have installed 10.10 today was earlier running f13 . Now is it wise enough to install a VM and install 10.10 in that too and fix stuff ?16:58
devildanteG__81: why wouldn't you fix bugs in your native installation?16:59
G__81no if its like i have to install lot of other libraries which might break my laptop. is there a chance for that ?17:00
devildanteno, it won't break it17:02
devildantethey are just libraries ;)17:02
nisshhG__81, all they will do is take up a small amount of hard drive space17:02
G__81yeah space shouldnt be an issue at all17:03
G__81oh ok if thats the case then i ll look into the bugs and is there a list or channel for those papercuts ?17:03
devildanteI don't think so17:04
nisshhno, there isnt im pretty sure17:04
G__81oh ok thanks17:04
devildantenp ):17:05
devildante;)17:05
G__81how do i edit the Grub menu there is a GUI tool right can someone let me know that ?17:08
G__81devildante, any idea on the name of the tool,17:09
devildante!support | G__8117:09
ubot2G__81: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org17:09
devildantesorry for asking, but is there a way to integrate glade into an application?21:57
