penguin42heck, lp is just littered with package failed to install/upgrade errors00:12
micahgpenguin42: indeed, the worst part is they're all different causes00:14
* yofel 's favourite is "failed toinstall/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package xy is alreadyinstalled and configured"00:14
* penguin42 is getting fairly good at guess-the-language to tell google translate00:15
micahgpenguin42: google translate should be able to guess most00:16
penguin42yeh00:16
penguin42one way to learn Dutch I guess00:16
greg-g:)00:18
greg-g"Learn Dutch through error messages!"00:18
penguin42I guess it's unlikely to get me far in conversations00:19
greg-gpenguin42: if it did, you might be having very odd conversations.00:31
RcartHello. Looks like this bug report needs some translation that is what I have just indicated. So, my question is what state should I assign it?02:51
Rcartsorry: bug 71062702:51
ubot4Launchpad bug 710627 in totem (Ubuntu) "dossier personnel,s'ouvre parfois avec lecteur vidéo et provoque 1 buc (affects: 1) (heat: 495)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71062702:51
RcartShoud it be Invalid, right?02:54
charlie-tcaRcart: bugs are not invalid just because they are not in english03:08
charlie-tcaIt can go incomplete awaiting translation03:10
charlie-tcaIt can also be converted to a question for the translation team to translate it03:11
charlie-tcaRcart: thanks for helping with bugs, it really is appreciated03:13
Rcartcharlie-tca: Okay, I'll mark it as Incomplete.03:13
Rcartcharlie-tca: Thank you for helping (:03:14
charlie-tcaYou are welcome03:14
Rcartcharlie-tca: BTW, do you know if the BugSquad Mentor Program is still working?03:23
charlie-tcaNot working as well as we would like it to03:23
charlie-tcabut it is still an active program, yes03:24
charlie-tcaWe just don't have enough mentors to get everyone in quickly03:24
RcartI see, I sent my request a week+ ago, but seems I'll have to wait a little more, and with luck get a mentor (:03:27
charlie-tcaYeah, but you can keep on triaging bugs even without a mentor, you are doing a fine job, and will learn that way too.03:28
RcartSure. besides the How-To triage is pretty good, and the other Wiki entries too.03:36
* Rcart is gonna sleep.04:06
seb128https://bugs.launchpad.net/~j-truyts09:55
seb128seems those bugs from this guy are duplicates if someone feels like cleaning the list09:55
jibelseb128, marking as dup of 718337 which is probably the root cause and a known issue lucid anyway.10:27
seb128jibel, thanks10:28
jibeldone10:30
seb128jibel, isn't apt or apport supposed to be smart and limit the bugs users report with such upgrade issues?10:44
jibelseb128, now it is, but not at the time of lucid.10:45
seb128ok10:46
seb128bdmurray, do you know if http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/index.html is broken? it seems it didn't update for some hours16:30
bdmurrayseb128: that's a dholbach report16:32
seb128bdmurray, seems launchpad is having issues16:32
seb128bdmurray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/567034/16:32
bdmurrayseb128: they removed edge.launchpad.net which is affecting the API16:32

bdmurrayanybody familiar with evolution?  I can't recreate bug 717971 but it seems rather important18:59
ubot4Launchpad bug 717971 in evolution (Ubuntu) "Can't provide password for account capplet althought it asks me to (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71797118:59
micahghggdh: ^^18:59
bdmurraythe screenshot looks a lot different from what I see18:59
charlie-tcatrying ubuntu 6419:05
patrickmwbdmurray: that's not a bug19:11
patrickmwbdmurray: the password is prompted at first use19:11
patrickmwbdmurray: the checkbox is a little misleading yes19:12
charlie-tcapatrickmw: but he said he never got the prompt to enter it19:12
bdmurrayand if you look at the screenshot it tells you to enter your password but there is no field for it19:13
patrickmwcharlie-tca: it may be a question of when he was expecting it19:13
charlie-tcalike when it asks for it?19:13
patrickmwcorrect19:14
charlie-tcabut there is no place to input it19:14
* patrickmw looking at screenshot19:14
patrickmwoh?19:15
patrickmwI see now19:15
charlie-tcaunless I missed something there, :-)19:15
patrickmwsomething I've noticed19:16
patrickmwthis doesn't look like the default evolution setup window19:17
patrickmwit look like evolution-settings was run19:17
patrickmwthat error makes to sense to be on that screen.  the only reason I can see that it because I've been developing automated tests for evolution. I haven't seen this19:18
patrickmws/to/no19:18
patrickmwbdmurray: i will try it with evolution-settings19:19
patrickmwbdmurray: confirmed19:21
patrickmwbdmurray: i can reproduce the error with evolution-settings.  evolution's first time setup wizard does not have this issue19:21
bdmurraypatrickmw: so to some degree it seems like user error or a corner case19:22
charlie-tcamaybe it's me, but I can not find that wizard in evolution in natty19:22
bdmurraypatrickmw: right?19:22
patrickmwcharlie-tca, bdmuarry: system -> prefs -> email settings19:23
patrickmwbdmurray: ^^, corner case perhaps, but not user error19:23
PiciEr, why did the Bug Watch Updater just change the importance of an invalid bug to Critical?  (bug 263059)19:26
ubot4Launchpad bug 263059 in linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) (and 2 other projects) "[regression] 2.6.27-7 sometimes fails to boot (iwl3945 issue?) (affects: 16) (dups: 13) (heat: 288)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26305919:26
bdmurraypatrickmw: okay, thanks for all the help!19:26
patrickmwbdmurray: np.  i will be unavailable for a few hours.  send me an email if you need anything else19:27
micahgPici: probably just importing the statuses from that bug tracker19:27
Picihmm.19:27
bdmurraypatrickmw: I've recreated it now, just wasn't sure how to get that dialog19:27
MadCow108hi, I have some questions concerning bug 675669 which renders the package universalindentgui completely unusable19:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 675669 in universalindentgui (Ubuntu) "Segmentation fault at startup (affects: 5) (dups: 1) (heat: 52)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67566919:29
MadCow108it can be fixed by a simple rebuild of the package19:30
MadCow108but there was no reaction from anybody since the report19:30
MadCow108how does one get it rebuilt fr natty?19:30
MadCow108the cause of the problem is bug 689362 but there also no reaction from anybody19:31
ubot4Launchpad bug 689362 in qscintilla2 (Ubuntu) "abi breaking not reflected in soversion (affects: 2) (heat: 65)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68936219:31
micahgMadCow108: you can attach a debdiff requesting a rebuild and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors or I can take a look at it in a bit19:32
MadCow108rebuilding for natty also triggers this bug: 718936 (patch attached), this is not required for gcc <4.519:35
MadCow108thx, I'll look into the sponsors list19:35

trinikronomicahg: ping (needs packagin)20:23
trinikronohello everyone o/20:23
micahgtrinikrono: it's looking like we're not going to upstream them, I'm just giving the e-mail on the derivatives list a little more time20:23
trinikronomicahg: you mean link to debian reports if they have them and if they dont, dont file in debian?20:24
micahgtrinikrono: right, seems to be they should only be filed as RFPs if they're actually packaged in Ubuntu20:25
trinikronomicahg: sounds like you are trying to make into a motu lol20:26
micahgtrinikrono: huh?20:26
trinikronomake me into a motu ..20:27
micahgheh20:27
micahgwe need lots of help :)20:28
trinikronomicahg: so should i work on these needs-packaging bugs, i have 7 of them and everyday i see more in the bugs without a package list20:29
micahgtrinikrono: well, if you have an interest in the package and will maintain it, feel free, otherwise, it just creates more stuff for MOTU to maintain20:30
trinikronomicahg: that sounds scary i am not a developer yet, just trying to get bugs triaged20:33
micahgtrinikrono: the needs-packaging bugs are there for people interested in maintaining the packages, there's not much for the bug squad to do with them20:34
trinikronowow charlie-tca you are on 60 days in a row in 5-A-Day you are really serious about bugs :D21:58
charlie-tcaI just try to do some each day21:58
charlie-tcatrinikrono: you know, couple here, couple there22:00
trinikronothe most i ever got is 15 so far22:01
trinikronoi think i need to specialise in bugs22:01
trinikronobut seriously charlie-tca you should get a cookie or something22:02
* micahg just had some cookies :)22:03
charlie-tcatrinikrono: I don't fix bugs, I just triage them so the developers can fix them22:03
=== zyga is now known as zyga-afk
* penguin42 is trying to file a bug and ubuntu-bug has filled in most of the page but when I'm hitting send I'm getting an error appear under the summary saying 'Constraint not satisfied' - anyone seen that?23:49
BUGabundono23:50
penguin42odd, changed the title and it's OK23:51
penguin42maybe there are some characters you aren't allowed23:51
* penguin42 almost feels guilty about that, only bug in a package23:53
micahgpenguin42: you can file a bug against the launchpad project, that's an error with JS form validation23:53
micahgerr, not an error, but an unclear description of what's wrong23:54
penguin42bah, can't recreate it - I wonder what it got upset at23:55
