[10:38] <rado84> hi all
[10:39] <rado84> who should i talk to in order to report a few bugs in 10.10?
[13:01] <JoshuaL> Hello, 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 imo
[13:03] <penguin42> which bug?
[13:05] <JoshuaL_> Oops, back
[13:05] <JoshuaL_> yet another kernel panic
[13:05] <penguin42> which bug?
[13:06] <JoshuaL_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/754825
[13:06] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 754825 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel panic while using my system (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]
[13:09] <JoshuaL_> penguin42: that one
[13:09] <penguin42> ok
[13:11] <penguin42> JoshuaL_: 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 fails
[13:12] <JoshuaL_> penguin42: ok :)
[13:13] <penguin42> JoshuaL_: 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 it
[13:14] <JoshuaL_> ok thanks :)
[13:15] <JoshuaL_> penguin42: and a kernel dev also has to assign the importance?
[13:16] <penguin42> JoshuaL_: No , a member of the Ubuntu Bug Control team can set the importance
[13:16] <JoshuaL_> penguin42: ah ok
[13:19] <JoshuaL_> penguin42: do i have to install both the penguin42 headers and image or only the image for the daily kernel?
[13:19] <penguin42> you may need the hearders for some stuff - and heck they're only small so you may as well
[13:19] <JoshuaL_> ok ty
[13:20] <JoshuaL_> ill gonna try that and see if it helps
[13:20] <JoshuaL_> -ll
[13:21] <penguin42> right, time for breakfast :-)
[13:21] <JoshuaL_> enjoy :)
[13:37] <JoshuaL> penguin42: i tried to install the mainline build of the kernel, however it results in an error: http://pastebin.com/etPAV4pu
[13:40] <JoshuaL_> Sorry, system crashed again
[13:40] <JoshuaL_> penguin42: so i tried to install that kernel without luck (sorry to bother you again)
[13:43] <arand> JoshuaL: You want three packages afaik.
[13:44] <JoshuaL> arand: i have downloaded the image and headers from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ (amd64)
[13:44] <arand> Two header packages and one imge?
[13:46] <JoshuaL> arand: 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.deb
[13:50] <arand> JoshuaL: Further down on the wiki page it describes what you will need to get
[13:50] <arand> JoshuaL: the non-arch -headers package as well, that is
[13:51] <JoshuaL> i missed that one, stupid me
[13:51] <JoshuaL> thanks!
[13:52] <JoshuaL> arand: thanks for the help! :)
[13:52] <JoshuaL> now its time for a reboot to test the kernel
[13:52] <arand> Happy breaking :þ
[13:53] <arand> Well, not really though but.. :)
[13:57] <Guest21552> arand: ok tried the kernel however wifi does not even seem to work with that kernel
[14:00] <penguin42> JoshuaL: 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 kernel
[14:02] <JoshuaL> penguin42: 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] <penguin42> JoshuaL: Hmm OK, I've not got that wireless so I don't know if there is any magic for it
[14:04] <JoshuaL> penguin42: ok, shall I leave a comment at the bug that I tried the mainline kernel but that it did not work at all?
[14:05] <penguin42> yep, preferably include a dmesg from that kernel
[14:05] <JoshuaL> ok
[14:06] <penguin42> oh and you can remove the needs-upstream-testing tag
[14:06] <JoshuaL> k
[14:11] <JoshuaL> penguin42: 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/754840
[14:12] <penguin42> JoshuaL: I'm not quite sure what's supposed to do that switching
[14:13] <JoshuaL> ok, then i leave it as it is (unless its fixed ofcourse :P)
[14:20] <JoshuaL> penguin42: thanks for all the help
[14:44] <gusnan> I 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?
[15:15] <yofel> lp 756166
[15:15] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 756166 in vdr (Ubuntu) "vdr version 1.6.0-19.1ubuntu1 failed to build on i386 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/756166

[15:25] <njin> why my karma still going down ?
[15:28] <yofel> njin: 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 before
[15:29] <njin> mine?
[15:29] <yofel> probably, I don't know the karma calculation code, but that's what usually happens
[15:29] <yofel> my karma goes up and down too all the time
[15:29] <njin> :-(
[15:29] <njin> thanks yofel
[15:32] <yofel> gusnan: 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 did
[15:34] <gusnan> alright, I'll mark it as duplicate then. Thanks!
[16:26] <penguin42> what should backlight bugs be against - X? The kernel?
[16:42] <njin> penguin42: hello,  generally  linux or g-p-m
[16:50] <penguin42> Thanks
[17:52] <penguin42> can someone help me with my bug 743324 - it was marked as a dupe of bug 349479 that was marked as already fixed which is nuts
[17:52] <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/743324

[17:53] <penguin42> although 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 tried
[19:10] <penguin42> hmm, I tak e it back - it is fixed
[20:36] <veger> hello all, I am the newest member
[21:28]  * chalced smiles
[21:28] <chalced> i tried sending a bug report but haven't gotten a reply.
[21:29] <chalced> in ubuntu 10.04 i can't consistently attach files
[21:29] <chalced> to mail or anything
[21:29] <syn-ack> interesting
[21:29] <syn-ack> which mail client?'
[21:30] <chalced> ive tried yahoo mail, gmail, and zimbra
[21:30] <syn-ack> Ah, so this is in the web browser then
[21:30] <syn-ack> which client?
[21:30] <chalced> i rebooted yesterday - problem stays
[21:30] <chalced> same in opera and firefox
[21:30] <chalced> same with imageshack
[21:30] <syn-ack> hrm
[21:30] <chalced> sometimes it works
[21:31] <syn-ack> have you found a similar bug report in launchpad?
[21:31] <chalced> sometimes i get 'there is no file to attach'
[21:31] <chalced> no
[21:31] <chalced> but when you need to send something in a hurry it's nuts to get 5 copies of xchat.conf in a mail.
[21:32] <chalced> i delete them, but then i can't send what i need to
[21:32] <syn-ack> well, this is weird. Anyone else able to pull up bugs.launchpad? I just got a timeout error
[21:34] <syn-ack> looks like they may be updating launchpad atm.
[21:34] <arand> wfm
[21:34] <chalced> ah
[21:34] <syn-ack> arand, Every other page is giving me a 500
[21:35] <syn-ack> Linda, give me a couple seconds, ok hon?
[21:36] <chalcedony> sure no problem syn-ack :)
[21:36] <arand> Well, no such issues seen on my side...
[21:36] <syn-ack> This is odd.
[21:37] <syn-ack> arand, must be one of the US servers or something then
[21:37] <arand> Mayhaps..
[21:41] <chalcedony> syn-ack, it's just me
[21:41] <syn-ack> heh
[21:41] <chalcedony> if i weren't here..
[21:42] <syn-ack> I'm reporting the incident right now to the lp team
[21:47] <syn-ack> chalcedony, If you'd like to join me in #ubuntu-offtopic, I'd be more than happy to help you there.
[21:47] <chalcedony> np
[23:31] <facugaich> Hello, I'm trying to report an error on the ubuntu.com website.
[23:32] <facugaich> Where should I do so?
[23:33] <facugaich> Wait, nvm
