nyoHi, i would communicate that I find a little bug in the ubiquity install gui interface.09:20
nyoat the page of "personal information" in the Username field, it should make a red x if you put a Uppercase character or a number, instead now is working showing a green V. I was in a situation that all the field were "ok" with a green V but with the "go forward" button disabled.... then i figured out it was as explained above09:20
nyois it clear enough?09:20
RedSingularityYeah thats fine....you will also need to explain the steps to produce the error.09:21
RedSingularityso we can try and produce it ourselves09:21
RedSingularityCan you boot a live CD on the problem machine and post from the live cd to launchpad?09:21
nyojust boot with the livecd and start the install09:21

epos85Hello. I have some bugs to report.09:51
epos85First. Myspell(Myspell-nb) gives me many lines(bad flagvector) in terminal when:$ sudo gedit file. Logs from otrace tells me that something is wrong with myspell-nb.09:55
epos85Second. Mouseproblems when using external mouse and having laptop with touchpad. Sometimes i have to click with touchpad buttons to get the other mouse-buttons working again.09:57
epos85Not only that. I have tried to deactivate touchpad(cause its annoying when using mouse) in synaptics and gpointing-device-settings. But touchpad go active sometime after again.09:59
shankaoyou should be using launchpad for filling bugs10:00
epos85?10:00
shankaohttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs10:00
epos85Source: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad:: IRC: Ubuntu BugSquad members can always be contacted through IRC on the #ubuntu-bugs channel on irc.freenode.org for help or collaboration.10:01
shankaoyes, but launchpad will make your bug permanet and accessible to a wider range of people that are not here or not now10:01
epos85Feel free to update site then. I actually installed irssi to write here.10:02
shankaoI use to think on the irc channel as a complement to that, not the primary way to post bugs10:02
shankaofor reporting bugs, you should also use the command "ubuntu-bug packagename"10:03
shankaothat automatically takes the necessary info from your system (i.e. logs, versions installed) so devs. can actually make something about the bug10:04
shankaothat all is indicated in the wiki page I have told about10:04
epos85And btw. I have reported error at launchpad earlier10:06
epos85https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/myspell/+bug/65705210:06
ubot2Launchpad bug 657052 in myspell (Ubuntu) "error when i save a file (affects: 3) (heat: 244)" [Undecided,New]10:06
thekornhmm, let's see, I've seen such bug before10:09
thekornepos85: your bug is a duplicate of bug 58391110:09
ubot2Launchpad bug 583911 in gedit (Ubuntu) "bad flag alias index & bad flag vector alias errors (affects: 9) (heat: 37)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/58391110:09
thekornepos85: I will mark it as such, thanks for reporting it10:10
epos85Importance should be greater than low. Its affecting the distro system-wide10:11
thekornepos85: so, you see the same error for other applications?10:12
thekornor what do you mean by system-wide?10:12
epos85Ooo-applications, gedit, etc.. Slow, have to be killed sometimes. Takes many seconds to close applications.10:12
epos85Every applications that use myspell10:13
epos85Ex. When i do: sudo gedit /etc/modules .. I get many 'bad flagvector' when opening. And same thing when saving/closing.10:14
epos85Had no problems with myspell in 10.0410:14
thekornepos85: sorry, I've no time right now to look closer at this bug, but I will later today. Maybe there are even more duplicates of this issue in launchpad, which would of course result in a higher importance10:16
epos85A newb ubuntu user told me that his Ubuntu was slower than Windows 7 in WmWare. He said that "Notepad didnt take forever to close".10:16
epos85Thanks10:16
epos85I also want to notice about gpointing-device-settings and synaptic and mouse application. Its impossible to deactivate touchpad10:17
epos85Or should i post a new Bug?10:18
thekornepos85: best is to post a new bug10:18
epos85Ill do.10:18
thekornthat's the best way to get the attation of relevant people10:18
thekornalthough it might take some time ;)10:18
thekornbut we are early in the release cycle, so there is a good chance10:19
epos85Hehe. Ive noticed. But its actually the Myspell that kills my joy. Im using my laptop at school.10:19
epos8510.04 had no bugs like this, so i hope its a isolated error10:20
epos85Thanks for now. Ping me if i can assist.10:20

psusibug #502699 for some reason is tracked in lucid... shouldn't that only be the case if it is requesting an SRU?  Since this doesn't seem to make a case for an SRU, should that task be closed?15:49

jibelpsusi, only lucid is affected by this so the status is correct, but the dev task should be set to 'fix released'15:52
psusijibel: yea, I just set the dev task to fix released, but why is there a lucid task when this isn't apparently a request for an SRU?15:57
psusiand without an SRU, it will not be fixed in lucid15:57

RedSingularitymicahg:  The "importance" page says to forward all triaged/confirmed bugs upstream.  Is this true?19:07
RedSingularityThe triage page i mean19:08
=== bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar
micahgRedSingularity: if it's an upstream issue, yes, not everything is an upstream issue19:28
RedSingularitymicahg:  whats an example of an upstream issue?19:29
micahgRedSingularity: generally something in the app itself, not install failures or menu issues19:30
RedSingularitymicahg:  Is bug 643736 forwarded upstream?  I see it has been assigned to mozilla bugs19:32
ubot2Launchpad bug 643736 in thunderbird (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) ""What's new in Thunderbird 3" reappears on minor upgrades (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 20)" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64373619:32

RedSingularitymicahg:  I have another "wishlist" item.  Should bug 638744 be forwarded?19:34

micahgRedSingularity: no, we're upstream for update-manager19:35
micahgRedSingularity: also, ,you might want to check for dups in that bug19:36
RedSingularitymicahg: Where do you see that we are upstream?19:36
micahgRedSingularity: well technically we're not, there is an upstream project, but bugs for update-manager are generally kept in Ubuntu19:37
* micahg wonders if we ever got a list of packages where we *don't* forward bugs19:37
RedSingularitymicahg:  Yes that would be nice19:38
RedSingularitymicahg:  that bug is confirmed.  I tested it on another machine as well.  Cant it be "triaged"?19:39

RedSingularitymicahg: I saw that....... even though its for another release tho??19:47
micahgRedSingularity: same wishlist, right?19:48
RedSingularitymicahg:  yea19:48
RedSingularitymicahg:  If that release had reached EOL would it still be a dup?19:49
micahgRedSingularity: yes, it's not a release specific request19:49
RedSingularitymicahg:  ahhhh19:49
RedSingularitymicahg:  so I mark my bug to the older one.  Can the older one be marked triaged then since it is connected with the more recent bug?19:51
micahgRedSingularity: yes19:51
RedSingularitymicahg: i see, ok I will mark19:51
micahgnot because it's connected, but because there's enough information for a developer19:51
RedSingularitymicahg:  so if the original report didnt have the needed info I would have to get it even though It has been confirmed in the other bug?19:52
micahgRedSingularity: or dupe the other way19:53
RedSingularitymark the older as dup of the newer?19:53
micahgRedSingularity: we try to dupe to the older bug, but if the newer bug has more info, you can dupe to the newer one19:53
RedSingularitymichag:  ok that makes sense19:54
micahgRedSingularity: generally asking if someone upgrades is not a good first triage question19:56
RedSingularitymicahg: If they did upgrade tho i want to do it as well to reproduce....19:57
micahgRedSingularity: yes, but you can try to reproduce w/out knowing that...that should not be a factor most of the time, it's something to keep in the back of your mind, but in most cases not an issue19:58
RedSingularitymicahg:  alright......saves me time as well :)19:58
RedSingularitymicahg:  I guess you can mark bug 638744 "triaged".  I linked the other two because the more recent one seems to have a better flow of information and i has all the required data for the dev's.20:01

micahgRedSingularity: the title was self explanatory in this case, but ok20:01
RedSingularitymicahg:  is there a team that looks at "confirmed" bugs and makes sure they are ready for triage status?  I read that on a post on another site.20:04
micahgRedSingularity: well, that's for bugsquad to do, that's part of bug days20:07

micahgamastronardi: hmm, I was looking into that, I think there's a request in Debian for it21:40
micahgoh, there's not a request in Debian21:41
micahgamastronardi: it depends on the maintainer in Debian or Ubuntu21:42
amastronardiif I'm not wrong, that package comes from debian21:42
amastronardiubuntu maintainer is Ubuntu MOTU developers21:44
micahgamastronardi: why did you add a math tag?21:46
amastronardibecause it is a math program21:46
micahgamastronardi: yes, but we don't use tags like that21:46
amastronardiok, sorry... I didn't know :s21:46
micahgamastronardi: you can leave it for a developer who wants to deal with it I guess, most likely nothing will happen until 2 is released, but that depends on teh Debian maintainer or if an Ubuntu dev wants to do something with it21:47
amastronardiDo we have any doc about the use of tags? Or... can you explain me quickly how do we use tags here?21:48
micahg!tags | amastronardi21:48
ubot2amastronardi: We use some common tags for tracking bugs on Launchpad.net See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags for common usage.21:48
amastronardiok, thanks, will leave that to a dev21:48
amastronardithanks ;-)21:48
