gtriderxcbut09:17
gtriderxcthere is no1 there09:17
gtriderxccould anyone help me to transalate that string:09:17
gtriderxcThe following packages have been kept back (%(count)s):09:18
gtriderxchow should I understand keeping back??09:18
htorquegtriderxc, AFAIK it means that there is an update for that package available, but it's not going to be installed because it would cause problems (due to unfulfilled dependencies)09:31
htorquegtriderxc, basically it's a safety measure09:31
gtriderxcso...09:32

hjdHi all!. Does someone know of a more specific package I should reassign bug 705123 to before confirming it?15:31
ubot2Launchpad bug 705123 in meta-gnome2 "Options tab missing from Startup Programs prefs dialog" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70512315:31
yofelhjd: try to follow the applications instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage15:33
hjdyofel: thanks. Found it via dpkg -S.15:39
hjdanother question: wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags says 'regression-release' is used for stable releases, while wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/RegressionTracking says stable or dev. How do I know which is right?15:47
yofelhjd: first page needs to be updated, it *was* only used for stable releases, but since regression-potential is gone it's now used for either15:50
yofelI removed the 'stable' part15:52
hggdhfeel free to update it as needed15:52
hggdhoops15:52
hggdhas usual, yofel is faster than I am ;-)15:53
yofeljust there by chance :P15:53
yofelhggdh: actually, should I add something like "Should be used together with a tag for the release the regression is found in."15:54
yofel?15:54
hjdyofel: ok, thanks. I'll tag the bug above with it then.15:55
yofel"was found in" rather15:56
bullgard4On my Maverick computer sometimes an error message appears saying I should direct to Bugzilla. Usually it asks me to install additional packages so that a more meaningful output will be produced. Why have the Ubuntu maintainers provided this mechanism in addition to the ubuntu-bug mechanism? Both mechanisms seem to cover almost the same task. What is the most important difference between the...16:00
bullgard4...two mechanisms?16:00
yofel*which* application gives the messge?16:01
yofelKDE applications for example will request you to file bug in the KDE bugtracker, not in the ubuntu one since that's where the bugs should go anyway16:01
yofel*file the bug16:01
yofelalso: apport is *disabled* for crash reporting in stable releases, so some applications will get their own crash handler triggered since apport doesn't handle the crash16:03
VarcHello guys16:19
bullgard4yofel: I obtained an Bugzilla error message window several times. I do not remember well what application was running. I believe that it was Banshee. But my question is meant in general (that is, application independent).17:03
yofelwell, apport crash reporting is only enabled by default in the end phase of the development release, in all other cases the crash is either ignored or left to the crash handler of that application17:05
bullgard4yofel: What do you mean by "[17:01]<yofel>*file the bug"?17:05
yofeland there are applications where apport is intentionally not used17:05
yofelthat was a grammatical correction for my sentense before17:05
yofel*sentence :/17:06
bullgard4yofel: I ingtroduced my question with "On my Maverick". So it is plain what kind of release I was referring to.17:06
yofelyes and I just answered in a more generic way, specific: apport crash reporting is disabled on maverick17:07
bullgard4Ah!17:07
yofelso if an application has it's own crash handler you'll see that, if it doesn't, the crash is completely ignored17:07
bullgard4Thank you verx much for explaining.17:08
yofelthe reason for that is simply that it can take quite a while for apport to gather information in the crash, taking system resources in the meanwhile and making you have to wait until it's finished to restart the application in some cases17:10
bullgard4I see.17:17
VarcHello charlie-tca17:25
charlie-tcaHello, Varc17:25

yofelgood :)18:02
hggdhand I had just answered (I guess it was bullgard4) a similar Q on the ubuntu-users list, but not in as much detail as you18:02

charlie-tcaThe first bug you gave, 571392, was closed as invalid, and Alberto referred you to 55702321:22

charlie-tcaThere's no point in making them a duplicate of a closed bug, if they are experiencing issues now21:34
wolfpackok. and should I ask them to try the fix released for natty as was done in bug 703280?21:34

charlie-tcawolfpack: I suspect the reason that did not get marked a duplicate is because you will have to manually mark every dup in it to the master bug21:34
wolfpackok21:35
charlie-tcathat would be up to you. It is fine to ask, then close their bug.21:35
wolfpackbut after marking dup ..I can't make it Invalid.21:35
wolfpackshould I remove dup and then mark as Invalid ?21:36
charlie-tcaafter marking it a dup, you do not to mark it invalid.21:39
wolfpackok21:39
wolfpackcharlie-tca: thanks :)21:40
charlie-tcaIf the they fixed it, it is not necessary to mark it a dup, you can just mark it invalid with a comment it is fixed with an update21:40
charlie-tcaIf you mark it a dup, it is valid, so marking it takes care of it21:40
