| bsmartt` | ok great! I have been approved to join the bugsquad team on launchpad. What is the next step I need to take to get assigned a mentor? Just wait? I've completed all the requirements that I found online. | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| bsmartt` | one question I already have is I've noticed from a number of bug reports I've looked at often triagers ask the reportee if they've confirmed this bug is reproducable with the nightly build, as a dev will I need to be doing nightly builds? If so, is a vm good enough? | 00:34 |
| charlie-tca | bsmartt`: no, you are not required to do nightly builds as a bugsquad member. | 00:42 |
| charlie-tca | bugsquad attempts to get the bug report ready, so that when the developer gets it, he/she does not have to try to get enough information to work it. It should already be there for them. | 00:43 |
| charlie-tca | As a dev, you would be the one getting the report after bugsquad finishes with it, normally | 00:44 |
| * charlie-tca is not a developer, and doesn't really know what they do. | 00:44 | |
| bsmartt` | ok. thanks for clarifying | 00:47 |
| charlie-tca | Since bugs are normally fixed in the latest development release first, asking if the bug is still present in the development release verifies if the bug is still there. | 00:47 |
| bsmartt` | right, I figured that to be the case. So then it would be quite handy as a triager to have the latest dev release to try to reproduce the bug for them if they can not? | 00:49 |
| charlie-tca | Many times the bug will be fixed/not present in the development release, so the developers can look at a diff and find how to fix it easily | 00:49 |
| charlie-tca | or decide that it will not be fixed in stable releases. | 00:50 |
| bsmartt` | i see | 00:50 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, many of us do use VBox to check the bugs in the latest development release, if the reporter is unable and we have the time. | 00:51 |
| mandarg | charlie-tca: Is there a place where you can get pre-compiled vbox images of the daily builds so you don't have to install them repeatedly in virtualBox? | 00:56 |

| hggdh | no, and this would actually not make much of a sense. We need to test *installation* and usage, not only usage | 02:13 |
| maxpolk | Should I add a comment to the end of a perfect match bug, that it applies to an all new DistroRelease? Or open a new bug against the different DistroRelease where I'm seeing it as well? | 02:15 |
| maxpolk | I think maybe I should follow the advice "If you have further information about an already reported bug, add this information to the existing report, rather than opening a new one", even though it didn't match distro release | 02:18 |
| charlie-tca | maxpolk: normally, adding information to the existing bug report is great! If it is a bug against the kernel (linux), opening a new report is preferred. | 02:20 |
| charlie-tca | If the existing report is closed as fixed, adding information to it outside the release it was fixed in often complicates the issues and a new report is better. | 02:21 |
| maxpolk | new unassigned | 02:21 |
| maxpolk | thanks! | 02:21 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks for asking. | 02:21 |
| charlie-tca | hggdh: I am in complete complete agreement with that. | 02:23 |
| charlie-tca | and now, I will say goodnight to all :) | 02:23 |
| hggdh | g'night chalcedny | 02:23 |
| hggdh | darn, he was faster than me. Sorry for the wrong ping ^ | 02:24 |
| njin | Hello guys, why if I run gdb (with or without sudo) to track aptd it return /usr/sbin/apyd not in executable format, i've tried with file or exec-file but nothing change. what i get wrong? | 08:14 |

| Abhijit | hi | 14:59 |
| Abhijit | one user in #ubuntu wants to submit bug against newest kernel in natty narwhal. what is its package name? | 15:00 |
| Abhijit | vish, ping | 15:00 |
| nigelb | Abhijit: Usually, kernel bugs go to linux package. | 15:02 |
| Abhijit | nigelb, i mean the actual package name to be typed after ubuntu-bug | 15:02 |
| nigelb | That's what I meant. But I may be wrong. | 15:03 |
| Abhijit | np. i think they found another similar bug. | 15:03 |
| hggdh | yes, bugs against the kernel go to the 'linux' package | 16:50 |
