[07:20] <kPb_in> hello all
[09:35] <htorque> hello everyone! i just went through a couple of my reported bugs and i'm not sure what to do with bugs that got fixed in the meantime but i don't know when/which release or commit. how should i close them? invalid? fix released?
[09:45] <jibel> htorque, if you're sure they are fixed and you are the reporter mark them as fix released. Do you have an example ?
[09:47] <htorque> jibel: bug 786870 for example.
[09:47] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 786870 in unity-2d (Ubuntu) (and 3 other projects) "[dash] Opera as default web browser is not shown in home screen (affects: 7) (heat: 23)" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/786870

[16:00] <brendand> anyone else noticing that nm-applet isn't showing anything all of a sudden?
[16:01] <brendand> nmcli does, so maybe the bug is just in nm-applet itself
[16:01] <jibel> brendand, confirmed
[16:02] <jibel> brendand, not nothing, I can enable/disable networking and wireless and edit connections
[16:04] <brendand> jibel - well, anything that most people would find useful :)
[16:05] <brendand> jibel - is this the first report then? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/863363

[16:08] <jibel> brendand, thanks for spotting it. a dev is on it, it is a dbusmenu bug.
[19:11]  * komputes just posted http://askubuntu.com/questions/63796/how-do-i-view-coredump-file
[19:28] <hggdh> komputes: what do you think of my answer?
[19:29] <pedro_> komputes, hggdh and you can 'view' it with gdb
[19:29] <hggdh> pedro_: yeah, I was just adding it -- forgot :-(
[19:29]  * komputes is looking
[19:32] <komputes> pedro_: gdb reports Coredump is not an executable format: file format not recognized
[19:34] <hggdh> komputes: if the coredump is compressed, you have to uncompress it
[19:34] <pedro_> you need to uncompress it
[19:34] <komputes> hggdh: you uncompress it from the gz file then...
[19:35] <hggdh> komputes: gzip -d comdump.gz
[19:35] <komputes> done
[19:35] <pedro_> gdb --core=file
[19:35] <komputes> ok, here we go
[19:35]  * hggdh waits for the complaint of "I only see ???"
[19:36] <komputes> I only see 2 lines (woth 2.4MB for this)
[19:36] <komputes> hggdh: ;)
[19:36] <hggdh> komputes: can you pastebin it?
[19:37] <pedro_> then the coredump is no use :-)
[19:37] <komputes> hggdh: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/700039
[19:37] <pedro_> komputes, 'back'
[19:38] <pedro_> gdb is not going to show you anything automatically
[19:38] <komputes> pedro_: interesting, go on
[19:38]  * komputes listens attentively
[19:38] <hggdh> also, consider a 't a a bt'
[19:38] <komputes> hggdh: and now in english :)
[19:39] <hggdh> thread apply all bt
[19:39] <komputes> hggdh: you want me to type this in the gdb command line?
[19:39] <hggdh> yes
[19:39] <komputes> oooOOOooo memory addresses
[19:40] <hggdh> not really, stack *frames*
[19:40] <hggdh> give it the correct name, and it will answer your calls
[19:42]  * komputes wants to learn more
[19:43] <komputes> so can you grep/search the binary file from the gdb command line?
[19:43] <hggdh> well. Reading stacktraces (or, in gdb parlance, backtraces) is quite simple. Following the code, and figuring out what happened is not as easy
[19:43] <hggdh> komputes: I am not sure I understand your question
[19:43] <hggdh> no
[19:44] <komputes> Should we expand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/ to include some guideline on how to review the stacktrace?
[19:44] <hggdh> I *am* sure I do not understand
[19:44] <hggdh> there is something there, I added a long time ago...
[19:44]  * hggdh goes looking for it
[19:44] <komputes> This would make for a GREAT bugsquad screencast!!!
[19:45] <hggdh> komputes: start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
[19:45] <komputes> I ran help and saw nothing about 'threads' (the command you told me to use) there are classes such as aliases, breakpoints, data, files, internals... etc.
[19:46] <hggdh> gdb is a large beast...
[19:47] <hggdh> komputes: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/
[19:48] <jtaylor> the command is thread not threads
[19:48] <komputes> I'll start a readin'. But if there are any common gdb commands you use, please let me know. This Q&A session has been very helpful to me.
[19:48] <hggdh> jtaylor: thank you, my mistake
[19:48] <komputes> jtaylor: correct
[19:48] <jtaylor> print next frame break backtrace are the most important
[19:48] <jtaylor> you can do a lot with these few
[19:48] <hggdh> yeah
[19:52] <komputes> thanks for helping me understand hggdh pedro and stgraber
[19:52] <hggdh> you meant jtaylor, right? :-)
[19:53] <hggdh> komputes: there is still a long and winding road ahead of you... but it will be fun
[19:53] <jtaylor> gdb is a nice application but lots to learn
[19:54] <komputes> hggdh: looking forward to getting more comfortable with the more complicated site of QA work
[19:54] <jtaylor> a week ago I learned how to do remote debugging because my armel chroot did not support ptrace :)
[19:54] <hggdh> heh. Last time I did a remote gdb was so long ago I do not remember anything anymore
[19:55] <hggdh> komputes: now, debugging programs is not quite in the QA arena, more on the programming/support
[19:57] <roadmr> komputes: google "gdb tutorial", some nice stuff there to get you started
[19:57] <roadmr> I specially like the RMS tutorial heh
[20:03] <hggdh> komputes: finally, see http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/refcard.pdf.gz for a carry-with-you
[20:04] <komputes> hggdh: printing it now
[20:35] <golfromeo> hello, I am testing day-to-day updates of 11.10. Since a couple of days, after a huge update (xorg?) I can no longer use the thinkpad (I guess tpb program) special keys to change the LCD screen brightness as well as the sound volume. I guess it has started since beta 2 (and later updates). The laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad edge produced in July 2011 Intel P6100 based. What do I do first ? download a nightly CD and reinstall over the c
[21:00] <golfromeo> good bye !
[22:15] <bdmurray> Is Launchpad timing out for anyone?
[23:03]  * penguin42 got one a little while ago - let me try
[23:04] <penguin42> worked just then
