rado84who should i talk to in order to report a few bugs in 10.10?10:39
JoshuaLHello, I have recently submitted a bug report regarding a kernel panic, how long does it usually take before someone responds to it? Its rather critical imo13:01
penguin42which bug?13:03
JoshuaL_Oops, back13:05
JoshuaL_yet another kernel panic13:05
penguin42which bug?13:05
JoshuaL_https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/75482513:06
ubot4`Launchpad bug 754825 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel panic while using my system (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]13:06
JoshuaL_penguin42: that one13:09
penguin42ok13:09
penguin42JoshuaL_: I'm going to add a note to the bug asking you to try the latest daily kernel build - it's useful to know if that also fails13:11
JoshuaL_penguin42: ok :)13:12
penguin42JoshuaL_: So to answer your original question; there are a LOT of bugs coming in every day - but there are probably a whole bunch of people using that same wireless chip so that helps; but I can't say how long it will actually take for a kernel dev to notice it13:13
JoshuaL_ok thanks :)13:14
JoshuaL_penguin42: and a kernel dev also has to assign the importance?13:15
penguin42JoshuaL_: No , a member of the Ubuntu Bug Control team can set the importance13:16
JoshuaL_penguin42: ah ok13:16
JoshuaL_penguin42: do i have to install both the penguin42 headers and image or only the image for the daily kernel?13:19
penguin42you may need the hearders for some stuff - and heck they're only small so you may as well13:19
JoshuaL_ok ty13:19
JoshuaL_ill gonna try that and see if it helps13:20
JoshuaL_-ll13:20
penguin42right, time for breakfast :-)13:21
JoshuaL_enjoy :)13:21
JoshuaLpenguin42: i tried to install the mainline build of the kernel, however it results in an error: http://pastebin.com/etPAV4pu13:37
JoshuaL_Sorry, system crashed again13:40
JoshuaL_penguin42: so i tried to install that kernel without luck (sorry to bother you again)13:40

arandJoshuaL: You want three packages afaik.13:43
JoshuaLarand: i have downloaded the image and headers from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ (amd64)13:44
arandTwo header packages and one imge?13:44
JoshuaLarand: i downloaded: linux-headers-2.6.39-999-generic_2.6.39-999.201104091127_amd64.deb and linux-image-2.6.39-999-generic_2.6.39-999.201104091127_amd64.deb13:46
arandJoshuaL: Further down on the wiki page it describes what you will need to get13:50
arandJoshuaL: the non-arch -headers package as well, that is13:50
JoshuaLi missed that one, stupid me13:51
JoshuaLthanks!13:51
JoshuaLarand: thanks for the help! :)13:52
JoshuaLnow its time for a reboot to test the kernel13:52
arandHappy breaking :รพ13:52
arandWell, not really though but.. :)13:53
=== JoshuaL is now known as Guest21552
Guest21552arand: ok tried the kernel however wifi does not even seem to work with that kernel13:57
=== Guest21552 is now known as JoshuaL
penguin42JoshuaL: Someone in another bug mentioned that you have to install a driver for that wireless anyway, you probably have to reinstall it under the new kernel14:00
JoshuaLpenguin42: it did work out of the box when i installed 11.04, so i assume it would work out-of-the-box with a new kernel too (i did not install it via the restricted extras?)14:02
penguin42JoshuaL: Hmm OK, I've not got that wireless so I don't know if there is any magic for it14:02
JoshuaLpenguin42: ok, shall I leave a comment at the bug that I tried the mainline kernel but that it did not work at all?14:04
penguin42yep, preferably include a dmesg from that kernel14:05
JoshuaLok14:05
penguin42oh and you can remove the needs-upstream-testing tag14:06
JoshuaLk14:06
JoshuaLpenguin42: i will also test bug 754840 and remove the tag when the bug still is there (or should i try other things for that?)14:11
ubot4`Launchpad bug 754840 in linux (Ubuntu) "Have to switch manually between audio output connectors (affects: 1) (dups: 1) (heat: 3429)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/75484014:11
penguin42JoshuaL: I'm not quite sure what's supposed to do that switching14:12
JoshuaLok, then i leave it as it is (unless its fixed ofcourse :P)14:13
JoshuaLpenguin42: thanks for all the help14:20
gusnanI have a bug against a package in Ubuntu which I am a Debian maintainer (a FTBFS) - #756165, which is a straight consequence of #751940 - Can I mark it as such in some way?14:44
yofellp 75616615:15

njinwhy my karma still going down ?15:25
yofelnjin: hm? karma measures activity and expires after a while. So it can even go down if you work on something but the amount of work is less than before15:28
njinmine?15:29
yofelprobably, I don't know the karma calculation code, but that's what usually happens15:29
yofelmy karma goes up and down too all the time15:29
njin:-(15:29
njinthanks yofel15:29
yofelgusnan: if the bug will be gone when the other one is fixed it could be considered a duplicate, other than that I don't think there's a way to link it other than posting the other bug # as you did15:32
gusnanalright, I'll mark it as duplicate then. Thanks!15:34
penguin42what should backlight bugs be against - X? The kernel?16:26
njinpenguin42: hello,  generally  linux or g-p-m16:42
penguin42Thanks16:50

penguin42can someone help me with my bug 743324 - it was marked as a dupe of bug 349479 that was marked as already fixed which is nuts17:52
ubot4`Launchpad bug 743324 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Allocate drive space window too large for netbook - can't get to buttons (dup-of: 349479)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74332417:52

penguin42although I guess perhaps I should test it with the Beta - by saying 'it has long since been fixed' it doesn't seem to say whether it should affect the version I tried17:53
