| haneefmubarak | Well, I'll leave what I need to say here and check it later then. | 05:35 |
| haneefmubarak | Anyways, although I am part of the bug team, when I attempt to triage a bug, it only allows me to set the status, but not the importance. Any help is greatly appreciated. | 05:36 |
| micahg | haneefmubarak: only bug control can set importance and triaged/won't fix status | 05:54 |
| oscalation | micahg, any idea on my question | 05:59 |
| * micahg looks to vish | 05:59 | |
| oscalation | i take it vish isnt available | 07:17 |

| blurrr | Sure, let me do that. | 08:06 |
| vish | micahg: yea, i'm easy on the eyes, but you can look at other mentors too ;p | 08:06 |

| oscalation | can anyone help me, i applied for a mentor and no one has gotten back to me, not sure what i should do next | 14:24 |
| hggdh | oscalation: will look at it now | 14:28 |
| hggdh | oscalation: but you do not really need to wait, we are all here to help | 14:28 |
| oscalation | hggdh, i appreciate it. Im pretty sure i followed the wiki page correctly | 14:28 |
| hggdh | oscalation: good! Now, start triaging; on *any* doubt, ask here -- we will be happy to help, and your question may help others | 14:30 |
| hggdh | this is why we like people ask questions here | 14:30 |
| chrisjrob | i wonder whether someone would be able to triage an empathy bug that i have logged https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/807723 ? | 14:39 |

| pedro_ | hggdh, Good morning to you Sir Carlos :-) | 14:57 |
| hggdh | pedro_: interesting bug this one from chrisjrob, what is your take on it? | 14:59 |
| * hggdh is now running gnome-shell, and does not really use empathy | 14:59 | |
| pedro_ | hggdh, will check with Oneiric | 15:00 |
| charlie-tca | good morning, sire | 15:03 |
| charlie-tca | good morning, sir | 15:03 |
| charlie-tca | sorry, that was a type | 15:04 |
| charlie-tca | well, this ain't off to a good start, is it? | 15:04 |
| charlie-tca | I tend to shy away from the empathy bugs. | 15:05 |
| hggdh | charlie-tca: although I would be happy to be called 'sire', I (1) am not a king; (2) do not have the money that usually follows the title ;-) | 15:06 |
| hggdh | (for titles without money, I am already served :-( ) | 15:07 |
| charlie-tca | I just can't make the keys work today | 15:07 |
| hggdh | bad day? | 15:08 |
| hggdh | vish: BTW, I hear you (but, personally, I think I am better looking ;-) | 15:10 |
| vish | hggdh: certainly! no contest there with you! :) | 15:11 |
| * charlie-tca is apparently going to have a bad day | 15:12 | |
| ogasawara | davmor2: around? wanted to chat about your bug, 814882 | 15:24 |
| hggdh | interesting. I close Evolution, and it not only does not end, but goes into a 100% CPU loop. Same with Synaptic | 15:24 |
| davmor2 | ogasawara: give me five | 15:24 |
| ogasawara | davmor2: sure, if you want, come jump into #ubuntu-kernel when you're ready | 15:24 |

| jmburgess | Hey guys just wanted to ask you before i went to ubuntu-kernel. Bug 816110 is a kernel bug. It has apport info and he's running oneiric with kernel 3.0.0.7. Is it ready to be marked as triaged? I looked at the kernel team wiki and it seems to match all the requirements | 16:31 |

| oscalation | is it common practice for bug squad members to have apport enabled permanently ? | 16:44 |
| oscalation | sudo nano /ect/default/apport | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | oscalation: bug squad members do not necessarily need apport enabled | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | apport is to help get logs together when filing bugs, it doesn't do much when triaging bugs | 16:46 |
| hggdh | it is a personal decision; having apport enabled makes a lot of sense if you are running the bleeding edge (so that you can report the bugs you find -- but apport is automagically enabled on the devel release) | 16:49 |
| hggdh | but, as charlie-tca says, for triaging you do not need it | 16:49 |
| oscalation | hggdh, devel release? | 16:52 |
| oscalation | http://www.ubuntu.com/testing gotcha | 16:53 |
| hggdh | oscalation: 'devel release' is whatever (*)ubuntu release being developed right now -- Oneiric, for example | 16:53 |
| oscalation | can anyone please review my first bug triage, it was low hanging fruit (i feel). Please give me any feedback possible, anything i should do ect | 17:14 |

| oscalation | do i need to convert this to a question ? | 17:14 |
| oscalation | any and all comments are welcome | 17:16 |
| hggdh | oscalation: huh. d]flashplugin-installer is now available on the multiverse repository. The instructions you pointed to are a bit outdated | 17:20 |
| oscalation | hggdh you mean that you can install adobe flash/ or other flash plugins from the UBS ? | 17:24 |
| oscalation | UBC i mean | 17:24 |
| oscalation | arrgg ... USC | 17:24 |
| hggdh | what is UBC? | 17:24 |
| oscalation | ubuntu software center, sorry | 17:24 |
| hggdh | heh | 17:24 |
| oscalation | is that what your referring to ? | 17:25 |
| hggdh | yes, as long as you Edit/Software Sources, and make sure "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues(multiverse) is selected | 17:26 |
| hggdh | (on software-centre | 17:26 |
| hggdh | ) | 17:26 |
| hggdh | center | 17:26 |
| oscalation | though my general conclusion was correct? | 17:28 |
| oscalation | not a bug, just install flash | 17:28 |
| bibinou | doesn't firefox provide a "missing plugin" dialog ? | 17:28 |
| oscalation | im pretty sure it does | 17:28 |
| oscalation | is that something i should of looked into? | 17:30 |
| hggdh | oscalation: yes, it was correct. You might want to update the instructions, though | 17:30 |
| hggdh | bibinou: yes, it does provide a 'missing plugin'. But it may not work | 17:30 |
| oscalation | hggdh, may not work? | 17:30 |
| bibinou | if multiverse is not in sources | 17:31 |
| bibinou | maybe it can't find any flash player | 17:31 |
| hggdh | I do not go installing plugins on ffox, so I am not sure -- ergo, the 'may not work'. But, of old (at least) the missing plugin dialog would go to the software provider | 17:31 |
| oscalation | im not familure with the term multiverse | 17:31 |
| bibinou | although some GNU alternative should be in universe, so that's weird | 17:31 |
| oscalation | software that is not free.. gotcha | 17:32 |
| bibinou | oscalation: software sources are a key part of ubuntu : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 17:33 |
| bibinou | you often run into problems when one installs a third party repository and it causes all sorts of bugs | 17:33 |
| oscalation | yeah reading that now, how can i tell what is in the main and restricted repos | 17:34 |
| oscalation | bibinou, oh really... interesting | 17:34 |
| bibinou | restricted has very few packages in it | 17:34 |
| bibinou | mostly proprietary drivers | 17:35 |
| oscalation | is there a list or something that i should be referencing | 17:35 |
| bibinou | start synaptic and click the origin button at the bottom | 17:36 |
| bibinou | sorts by repository of origin | 17:36 |
| hggdh | oscalation: install apt-cache (sudo apt-get install apt-cache); then run 'apt-cache policy <package>', replacing <package> by whatever package you want | 17:36 |
| oscalation | hggdh, also, instead of updating the bug comment, wouldnt it make more sense to update that wiki page to include info about install flash from USC | 17:36 |
| hggdh | oscalation: certainly the page should be updated. Please feel free to do it | 17:37 |
| oscalation | hggdh, i take it this is what i need to use to install and remove packages found in bug reports on the fly | 17:37 |
| hggdh | apt-cache? | 17:37 |
| oscalation | yeah | 17:37 |
| hggdh | no, apt-cache will give you information about packages; to install you can use apt-get | 17:37 |
| hggdh | I mis-typed there | 17:37 |
| hggdh | no, I did not | 17:38 |
| * hggdh is feeling tired | 17:38 | |
| * oscalation gives hggdh a pillow | 17:38 | |
| hggdh | oscalation: these are command-line utilities; they make a lot of sense for me, I am usually on a terminal | 17:38 |
| oscalation | yeah im familure, i use terminal fairly often | 17:39 |
| oscalation | could of just manned apt-cache | 17:39 |
| oscalation | :) | 17:39 |
| oscalation | is apt-cacher the same thing? | 17:40 |
| hggdh | another good command-line is 'rmadison' -- for example, 'rmadison flashplugin-installer' | 17:40 |
| oscalation | the man page for rmadison seems over my head, though i'll install it | 17:41 |
| hggdh | no, apt-cacher is a cacher for packages; only makes sense if you are admin to a series of boxes | 17:41 |
| hggdh | and there is apt-cacher-ng, which is better | 17:42 |
| hggdh | (I use apt-cacher, but I have about 10 machines around me) | 17:42 |
| oscalation | unable to locate package apt-cache | 17:43 |
| * micahg loves apt-cacher-ng | 17:43 | |
| yofel | apt-cache is part of apt, and not apt-cacher | 17:44 |
| yofel | and does something totally different | 17:44 |
| oscalation | ah gotcha, i didnt need to install it | 17:45 |
| hggdh | yofel: thank you. I am really out of my mind today | 17:45 |
| hggdh | micahg: pretty nice neast, is it not? And much less hits on the repositories... | 17:46 |
| micahg | hggdh: it's great when you do test builds locally | 17:47 |
| hggdh | yeah. And right now it is only 5G for natty and oneiric 64 bits... | 17:47 |
| micahg | wow, I'm up to 20G on lucid-oneiric | 17:49 |
| hggdh | ah, by expiry is set too low, 4 days only | 17:49 |
| hggdh | s/by/my/ | 17:50 |
| * yofel goes reading apt-cacher-ng manpage | 17:50 | |
| yofel | never really got to set that up ^^ | 17:50 |
| hggdh | usually -- as in my case -- you can just accept the defaults | 17:51 |
