psusibug #668050 is just a somewhat insulting rant about their system becoming unresponsive while greatly overtaxing ram... my inclination is to close it with a comment about bugs are not a place to rant... how do you think this could be handled better?04:13

RedSingularitypsusi:  I would ask him to file reports for each issue and try to work them out one by one.  Putting all you "bugs" into one report is no good.04:23
RedSingularityyour*04:23
RedSingularitycjohnston:  you available at the moment?04:25
RedSingularityDr_Who:  Available at the moment?04:29
Dr_Whoyes04:29
RedSingularityCan you mark a "triaged" for me?04:30
Dr_Whowell guess depends .. what's the bug # ?04:30
Dr_Whoas you might guess don't like to mark things just to mark things04:31
RedSingularitybug 664265 It has a few "confirmations" from other users at the bottom as well.  :)04:31

RedSingularityDr_Who:  no no i understand :)04:31
psusiRedSingularity, huh?  I only see one complaint: that the system becomes unresponsive when thrashing memory04:54
RedSingularitypsusi:  Looked like he had a lot of complaining but i really didnt read it through.  If thats the case and it seems like a real "bug" you could ask him to file a more "mature" report.....04:56
RedSingularitypsusi:  I know i wouldnt work on a "rant" and send it to the developers that way.04:57
psusioh I don't think it is suitable to be triaged and worked on... I'm just wondering what the most polite way to close it is ;)04:57
RedSingularitypsusi:  ohhh, heh good question ;)04:58

paultaggeekosopher, they're filed by the same person -- it could be19:51
geekosopherboth the bugs are reported by same person, and the error logs are almost identical. in 668154 the reporter has steps to recreate it19:51
paultaggeekosopher, look through the logs, if it fails because of the common dep they're dupes19:51
paultagsec19:51
paultaggeekosopher, it should be one bug against swfdec-mozilla   <-- if what he's saying is true19:52
paultagLet me check the rdeps19:52
geekosopheryes, jibel already marked 668154 against gnash19:52
paultagso he did19:53
paultagthey look related geekosopher19:53
paultag no package named `epiphany-browser' is installed, cannot configure  <-- geekosopher that's from 66815319:54
paultaggeekosopher, and since that's failing because of gnash, it's the same error19:54
paultagrather, if that's failing19:54
paultaggeekosopher, yeah, I'd combine them19:54
paultaggeekosopher, great catch, great insight19:54
geekosopherso I will mark 668153 as duplicate of 66815419:55
paultagYeah19:55
geekosopherpaultag: thanks... was trying to triage both of them since morning19:55
paultaggeekosopher, usually the first bug would be the "main" one -- but the second one looks better19:55
paultaggeekosopher, so I'd mark the first as a dupe of the second to cut down on spam to the gnash guys19:55
geekosopherpaultag: ok... here i go19:56
geekosopherpaultag: is there a need to keep the lucid2maverick tag? I added it when marking the bug against update-manager19:58
geekosophersorry hardy2lucid19:58
paultaggeekosopher, let the gnash guys sort it out :)19:59
geekosopherok19:59
paultaggeekosopher, it's filed against their project, it's theirs now -- you've done your work19:59

robertsHas anybody *ever* had a useful response from having reported a bug to Canonical via their launchpad system?20:19
Nafalloyes20:22
robertsCare to be more specific?20:22
robertsI submitted bug #660864 over a week ago, which is a critical network driver bug.  No response, not even assigned yet.20:23
ubot2Launchpad bug 660864 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 10.10 Atheros AR9285 Wireless disconnects (affects: 3) (heat: 279)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66086420:23
Nafallonot sure how I could be. I've been involved with Ubuntu since Sept. 2004 and I've had quite a lot of my bugs fixed.20:24
robertsI've been involved with Linux since Slackware v1 starting around 1993.20:25
PiciThe bug description states that you're running 2.6.35, but its filed against the 2.6.15 package.20:25
robertsI've got code in one of the Redhat kernels.  Not a noob, in other words.  Launchpad seems completely broken.20:26
robertsGetting  filed against the 2.6.15 package was done automatically by launchpad when I created the bug report.20:27
robertsI'm also a write for Linux Journal, and have published part one of a story about this particular bug:  http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat-one-hit-one-miss20:28
robertsPart two, which chronicles my launchpad bug reporting experience so far should come out soon.20:29
robertsI also don't type very well:  I'm a *writer* ...20:30
roberts:)20:30
yofellaunchpad should never just choose a package for you but "I don't know" should be the default20:33
robertsI agree, that is how launchpad should respond.20:34
simarvish, hi20:34
yofelroberts: could you file a new bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux' after you had the issue again? That will add most of the information needed by the kernel team to the report too20:34
simarvish, does this bug appears for you also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/66849720:34
ubot2Launchpad bug 668497 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) "Cursor stucks temporarily when using certain key cominations. (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]20:34
simarvish, I guess it should be classified as a papercut20:34
robertsyofel: Using launchpad?20:36
vishsimar: yea, i have that bug, there is another dup as well20:36
simarvish, oh20:36
vishsimar: i think it is in 'ubuntu' and not associated with a package..20:36
simarvish, its a papercut i suppose20:36
vishsimar: any idea what is causing it?20:37
yofelroberts: first run the command on your system and apport will open the launchpad bug filing page after you follow the instructions20:37
vishsimar: my guess is it is not a simple change/fix20:37
vishyofel: are you at the UDS?20:37
yofelvish: no, no time20:37
vishhmm.. ok..20:37
simarvish, Surely the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics driver ... posiibly20:37
simarvish, i will try removing it and then see weather the bug appears again or not20:38
robertsyoful: Ok.20:38
paultagroberts, you're also not filing a bug to Canonical directly20:38
paultagroberts, you're sending that to the Kernel team, which has Canonical guys on it ( but not as a pre-req )20:38
simarvish, The bug is occurring for everyone so I though it should be a papercut ... it must be removed to improve user experience..20:39
paultagroberts, can you please add information to the bug, right now it's incomplete20:40
paultagroberts, man apport-bug20:40
robertspaultag: That is as it should be.  The bug almost certainly lies in the Atheros driver kernel module.  But I got to the launchpad link via the Ubuntu.com home page.20:40
paultagroberts, you can have it add to it, if you would like20:40
paultagroberts, I'm not sure we maintain that in Ubuntu -- have you also notified upstream, or talked with #ubuntu-kernel ?20:40
robertspaultag: And this is a 10.10 release QA issue, more than anything else.20:41
robertsThis particular bug has been in and out of Ubuntu releases as far back as 7.04, apparenly.20:41
paultagroberts, you need to add more information, if this is that big of an issue, talk with the kernel team, and also talk with the vendor of the module, so they can get a fix out and we can import it -- having contributed to the kernel before you should know the workflow :)20:41
paultagroberts, #ubuntu-kernel, or the mailing lists20:42
robertspaultag: Thanks, that's why I came here - to get fresh leads after launchpad dead-ended.20:43
paultagroberts, roger. Let's head over to kernrel20:43
