[16:16] <G__81> hi 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 with
[16:16] <G__81> Can someone help me on this ?
[16:24] <nisshh> G__81, if you want to fix bugs in ubuntu, head over to #ubuntu-bugs
[16:25] <devildante> !contribute
[16:25] <ubot2> To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate
[16:25] <devildante> nisshh: ubuntu-bugs is only for bug triaging, not bug fixing
[16:25] <nisshh> devildante, still be better than this channel though wouldnt it?
[16:26] <G__81> so which is the channel for bug fixing as such ?
[16:26] <devildante> nisshh: yeah, but that's no reason to give incorrect statements
[16:26] <devildante> G__81: I don't think there is
[16:26] <nisshh> devildante, sorry, i forgot, what would you suggest?
[16:26] <devildante> G__81: but check the link I just gave
[16:27] <devildante> !contribute | G__81
[16:27] <ubot2> G__81: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate
[16:27] <G__81> devildante, have gone over the link as such
[16:27] <devildante> ah
[16:27] <nisshh> devildante, i have seen people in #ubuntu-bugs who are fixing bugs though :|
[16:28] <G__81> or is it like i go to gnome channels and start it there and it gets merged here ? is that the process
[16:28] <devildante> nisshh: maybe off-topic, idk, but ubuntu-bugs is for bug triaging
[16:28] <nisshh> devildante, yeah, i guess, ill remember that in the future
[16:29] <devildante> G__81: if you go to gnome channels, it's no longer a direct contribution to Ubuntu ;)
[16:29] <devildante> G__81: if you want to go that way: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove
[16:30] <G__81> devildante, yeah i understand that so if thats not then whats the direct way to do it in ubuntu
[16:31] <devildante> G__81: you might want to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[16:32] <G__81> yes but its got a section called BugSquad but that deals only with Bug triaging
[16:33] <G__81> and of course talks a lot about packaging stuff but dont think it talks specifically about bugs in apps and the contact points for those
[16:35] <devildante> G__81: you could fix papercut bugs, they are easy to fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bugs?field.status:list=TRIAGED
[16:47] <G__81> oh ok does it involve code changes ?
[16:47] <devildante> G__81: of course :)
[16:58] <G__81> oh 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 ?
[16:59] <devildante> G__81: why wouldn't you fix bugs in your native installation?
[17:00] <G__81> no if its like i have to install lot of other libraries which might break my laptop. is there a chance for that ?
[17:02] <devildante> no, it won't break it
[17:02] <devildante> they are just libraries ;)
[17:02] <nisshh> G__81, all they will do is take up a small amount of hard drive space
[17:03] <G__81> yeah space shouldnt be an issue at all
[17:03] <G__81> oh ok if thats the case then i ll look into the bugs and is there a list or channel for those papercuts ?
[17:04] <devildante> I don't think so
[17:04] <nisshh> no, there isnt im pretty sure
[17:04] <G__81> oh ok thanks
[17:05] <devildante> np ):
[17:05] <devildante> ;)
[17:08] <G__81> how do i edit the Grub menu there is a GUI tool right can someone let me know that ?
[17:09] <G__81> devildante, any idea on the name of the tool,
[17:09] <devildante> !support | G__81
[17:09] <ubot2> G__81: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org
[21:57] <devildante> sorry for asking, but is there a way to integrate glade into an application?
