[12:52] <Cheesehead> Event: Wisconsin LoCo is running an IRC Bug Jam, Sunday 1700 UTC (four hours from now), #ubuntu-us-wi. Great training opportunity for people new to bugs.
[15:34] <trinikrono> aloha bugsquad i remember that we where told not to post follow up comments since launchpad introduced the expired on incomplete reports, but the HowToTrigage page still has it here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Invalidating
[16:20] <hggdh> trinikrono: corrected, thank you for raising it
[16:20] <trinikrono> :D no problem hggdh
[16:29] <ashams> Cheesehead: Waiting and will invite ppl from Egypt LoCo team :D
[16:32] <Cheesehead> ashams: Wonderful!
[16:56] <Cheesehead> Wisconsin LoCo Bug Jam training session will begin in #ubuntu-us-wi in 5 min. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-wisconsin/1178/detail/
[18:48] <crog> Cheesehead: a big factor is if you know the person, and the relationship
[18:48] <crog> ignore...
[18:49] <Cheesehead> crog: Hey, I post in the wrong channel sometimes, too!
[19:22] <sbte> hi, is there a way for developers to see private bugs reported for their own project in the ubuntu bug tracker?
[19:23] <sbte> because I'm a developer of emesene myself, and heard from someone that there are a lot of private bugs with useful backtraces
[19:23] <trinikrono> sbte: i believe once you are in bug control you should be able to see it?
[19:24] <sbte> yes, in your own project I think, but I'm talking about the bugs reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emesene
[19:24] <sbte> not https://bugs.launchpad.net/emesene
[19:24] <sbte> trinikrono, ^
[19:26] <charlie-tca> sbte: as a bugcontrol member, when I go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emesene I see 76 bugs
[19:26] <charlie-tca> Many of them are indeed private
[19:26] <charlie-tca> but I can access all of them
[19:27] <trinikrono> so i thought correct charlie-tca ?
[19:27] <charlie-tca> Looks like a lot of SIGSEGV faults
[19:27] <charlie-tca> trinikrono: yes
[19:28] <sbte> charlie-tca, I see only 48, of which 47 are actually invalid, but I don't feel like spending time on marking them all as such
[19:28] <jtaylor> sbte: does your application handle some kind of private data like passwords etc that might show up in stacktraces?
[19:28] <charlie-tca> There are no bugs listed for https://bugs.launchpad.net/emesene because the project itself does not use launchpad to track the bugs
[19:28] <charlie-tca> The 48 you see are the ones not marked "private"
[19:28] <sbte> jtaylor, no, it does handle passwords, but they can't appear in backtraces
[19:29] <sbte> charlie-tca, I know, we use github
[19:29] <sbte> but if the private bugs are actual bug, it's useful if we fix them
[19:29] <charlie-tca> The private bugs "they" referred to are the ones you are not seeing
[19:30] <sbte> charlie-tca, yep, and I was wondering if there was a way for the emesene-team to see them
[19:30] <charlie-tca> As the upstream developer, you can ask for bugcontrol privileges for emesene, and it will normally be granted
[19:31] <charlie-tca> I do not have the authority to do it, though
[19:31] <trinikrono> post the link to the bug control wiki page now?
[19:31] <charlie-tca> You should ask during the week, either pedro_ or bdmurry, I think
[19:32] <sbte> charlie-tca, ok, thanks. will do
[19:32] <charlie-tca> trinikrono: we normally don't require the upstream developer to go through the same process
[19:32] <charlie-tca> but they only work their own project bugs, too.
[19:34] <trinikrono> i have applied to bug control charlie-tca ;)
[19:34] <charlie-tca> That's great! You should be ready for it. Your work is good
[19:35] <sbte> oh, found the wiki, says i need to ask jcastro
[19:35] <sbte> i'll see if he's around in ayatana
[19:35] <charlie-tca> Okay
[19:55] <ashams> Hi I need help on this
[19:55] <ashams> Are the following two bugs dupes
[19:55] <sbte> charlie-tca, trinikrono, thanks for the help
[19:55] <ashams> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/287646
[19:55] <ashams> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/730495
[19:59] <charlie-tca> ashams: no, they are not duplicates. Under Unity, if compiz is broken, nothing will work right, so they had to wait for it to be fixed to test evince
[20:00] <charlie-tca> back when the bug was filed against evince, compiz did not get used even
[20:00] <ashams> charlie-tca: thank you :D
[20:08] <sbte> charlie-tca, got my bug control access, thanks for the help again
[20:09] <sbte> do you happen to know if the launchpad API has something that allows you to do this:
[20:09] <sbte> for bug in emesene: bug.closed(invalid)
[20:09] <sbte> would be neat
[20:09] <charlie-tca> Very good! You are welcome
[20:10] <charlie-tca> I don't know the scripting side of things.
[20:10] <sbte> because most bugs were reported with a really old version of emesene and don't apply anymore
[20:10] <sbte> and I don't feel like closing 70 bugs manually
[20:11] <jtaylor> launchpad has an api wher you can do that
[20:12] <jtaylor> https://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib
[20:12] <jtaylor> a useful tool for experimenting is lp-shell
[20:13] <sbte> jtaylor, thanks, I'll check it out
