[05:34] <haneefmubarak> ???
[05:35] <haneefmubarak> Well, I'll leave what I need to say here and check it later then.
[05:36] <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.
[05:54] <micahg> haneefmubarak: only bug control can set importance and triaged/won't fix status
[05:59] <oscalation> micahg, any idea on my question

[08:06] <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

[14:24] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:30] <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
[14:39] <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 ?

[14:57] <pedro_> hggdh, Good morning to you Sir Carlos :-)
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <pedro_> hggdh, will check with Oneiric
[15:03] <charlie-tca> good morning, sire
[15:03] <charlie-tca> good morning, sir
[15:04] <charlie-tca> sorry, that was a type
[15:04] <charlie-tca> well, this ain't off to a good start, is it?
[15:05] <charlie-tca> I tend to shy away from the empathy bugs.
[15:06] <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 ;-)
[15:07] <hggdh> (for titles without money, I am already served :-( )
[15:07] <charlie-tca> I just can't make the keys work today
[15:08] <hggdh> bad day?
[15:10] <hggdh> vish: BTW, I hear you (but, personally, I think I am better looking ;-)
[15:11] <vish> hggdh: certainly! no contest there with you! :)
[15:12]  * charlie-tca is apparently going to have a bad day
[15:24] <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

[16:21] <bdmurray> mvo: is the apt task in bug 800910 necessary?

[16:31] <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

[16:44] <oscalation> is it common practice for bug squad members to have apport enabled permanently ?
[16:44] <oscalation> sudo nano /ect/default/apport
[16:46] <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
[16:49] <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
[16:52] <oscalation> hggdh, devel release?
[16:53] <oscalation> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing    gotcha
[16:53] <hggdh> oscalation: 'devel release' is whatever (*)ubuntu release being developed right now -- Oneiric, for example
[17:14] <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 ?
[17:16] <oscalation> any and all comments are welcome
[17:20] <hggdh> oscalation: huh. d]flashplugin-installer is now available on the multiverse repository. The instructions you pointed to are a bit outdated
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <oscalation> is that what your referring to ?
[17:26] <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
[17:28] <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
[17:30] <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?
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <oscalation> software that is not free.. gotcha
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <bibinou> mostly proprietary drivers
[17:35] <oscalation> is there a list or something that i should be referencing
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <oscalation> yeah im familure, i use terminal fairly often
[17:39] <oscalation> could of just manned apt-cache
[17:39] <oscalation> :)
[17:40] <oscalation> is apt-cacher the same thing?
[17:40] <hggdh> another good command-line is 'rmadison' -- for example, 'rmadison flashplugin-installer'
[17:41] <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
[17:42] <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)
[17:43] <oscalation> unable to locate package apt-cache
[17:43]  * micahg loves apt-cacher-ng
[17:44] <yofel> apt-cache is part of apt, and not apt-cacher
[17:44] <yofel> and does something totally different
[17:45] <oscalation> ah gotcha, i didnt need to install it
[17:45] <hggdh> yofel: thank you. I am really out of my mind today
[17:46] <hggdh> micahg: pretty nice neast, is it not? And much less hits on the repositories...
[17:47] <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...
[17:49] <micahg> wow, I'm up to 20G on lucid-oneiric
[17:49] <hggdh> ah, by expiry is set too low, 4 days only
[17:50] <hggdh> s/by/my/
[17:50]  * yofel goes reading apt-cacher-ng manpage
[17:50] <yofel> never really got to set that up ^^
[17:51] <hggdh> usually -- as in my case -- you can just accept the defaults
