| hsingh | hello I want to volunteer for ubuntu and fix bugs. Any one willing to mentor me? | 07:45 |
| hsingh | no one :( | 07:49 |
| brendand | hsingh - it might be a bit early for most of the mentors | 08:19 |
| hsingh | brendand, some one to guide me if I get stuck or at least help me get started | 08:21 |
| brendand | hsingh - i know. i just mean you might want to check back later in the day | 08:22 |
| brendand | hsingh - and everyone's here to guide you if you get stuck | 08:22 |
| brendand | hsingh - what are you interested in doing? | 08:22 |
| hsingh | brendand, bug squad | 08:23 |
| brendand | hsingh - and you read the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad | 08:24 |
| hsingh | brendand, yes | 08:25 |
| brendand | hsingh - any questions? | 08:25 |
| hsingh | brendand, for most of the bug reports I can't understand where to start looking and how to use the detail logs provided | 08:26 |
| brendand | hsingh - that's always the hardest part. but you can still help in several ways. | 08:27 |
| hsingh | brendand, how? | 08:28 |
| brendand | hsingh - step 1, the bug needs to be confirmed, or marked incomplete. try seeing if the same bug happens for you | 08:28 |
| brendand | hsingh - if it doesn't then you need to decide if the reporter has given you enough info to try and reproduce it | 08:28 |
| brendand | hsingh - at least they should be saying which version of ubuntu and the package they are using | 08:29 |
| hsingh | brendand, okay. but my main motive is to learn and write code :) | 08:32 |
| brendand | hsingh - bugsquad is not really meant directly for coding. there are other avenues for that, but it would depend on your coding experience | 08:43 |
| hsingh | brendand, like? | 08:44 |
| brendand | hsingh - you mean which avenues? | 08:45 |
| hsingh | brendand, yes | 08:46 |
| brendand | hsingh - unity bitesize bugs is a good way to get involved. also papercuts | 08:47 |
| brendand | hsingh - it depends on what your coding skills are and what you're interested in | 08:48 |

| alourie | ah, well, I'll report it to Ubuntu, and we'll see how it goes | 11:23 |
| iceroot | alourie: maybe post the bug after you created it here | 11:25 |
| alourie | iceroot: no, can't do. The bug is in Empathy, and those are kept on gnome, so I'll open it there anyway... | 11:26 |

| lbndev | Good afternoon | 12:32 |
| lbndev | Is any of you working on the apache2 package ? | 12:35 |
| lbndev | I filed a bug in early august, regarding an issue fixed upstream, for which the patch isn't applied in Ubuntu. | 12:49 |
| lbndev | I've been able to get the patch from upstream, apt-get source the ubuntu package, patch it, rebuild it, and confirm that with this patch my problem (sigsegv) goes away | 12:49 |
| lbndev | I attached the patch to the bug. A few days after , it has been triaged | 12:50 |
| lbndev | And since then, ... that's pretty much it. | 12:50 |
| lbndev | I would need someone with commit access to build a patched version and publish it to Ubuntu repositories (so that I don't have to rebuild the package every time it changes in the repos) | 12:51 |
| lbndev | I tried contacting Canonical by e-mail (from the web site), and the only developer currently assigned to one of the apache2 bugs open in launchpad, without getting an answer. | 12:52 |
| lbndev | Don't get me grong, I understand everybody's time is precious. This is not a complain, just a search for solution | 12:52 |
| lbndev | (BTW I offered to pay for the time a committer would agree to spend applying the patch) | 12:53 |
| lbndev | If anyone has an idea on how I can contact someone who will spend a little time looking at my issue and finding an agreement on fixing it, that would be very much appreciated | 12:55 |
| lbndev | The issue is launchpad bug #821077 | 12:55 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 821077 in apache2 (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Apache2 segfault with SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile (upstream patch not applied in ubuntu) (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/821077 | 12:55 |

| emorris | Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what's the procedure for proposed bugs to be released? | 13:12 |
| yofel | emorris: you mean bugs that have fixes in the -proposed archive? | 13:37 |
| emorris | yofel, yeah | 13:38 |
| yofel | emorris: those need to go through the SRU verification process https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Verification, once they're verified an a week has passed they go to -updates | 13:38 |
| yofel | *and a week | 13:39 |
| emorris | yofel, awesome, thanks :-) | 13:39 |
| bil21al | if we want to get the information about the crash from the user can we refer user to use valgrind method to reproduce it and attach the out put here?? is this a good method of getting info about crash?? | 13:46 |
| bil21al | or we use apport collect bug number to get info ?? | 13:48 |
| pedro_ | it depends of the crash | 13:49 |
| pedro_ | if its a memory corruption one (*alloc* calls) then yes, a valgrind log is really useful there | 13:49 |
| bil21al | pedro_ and in case of unity crash and software crash? is there any ubuntu wiki page that i study? | 13:57 |
| pedro_ | software crash == software center? | 13:58 |
| pedro_ | i think there's a page for unity.. | 13:58 |
| * pedro_ looks | 13:58 | |

| yofel | hggdh probably ^^ | 17:01 |
| yofel | sense: long time no see :) | 17:01 |
| sense | Hello yofel! | 17:01 |
| sense | I've been away for a while, but now I'm back. | 17:01 |
| yofel | \o/ | 17:01 |
| sense | How's everyone been? | 17:01 |
| yofel | sense: pretty busy, I'm currently more working on kubuntu than on bugs though | 17:06 |
| sense | yofel: A lot to do? | 17:06 |
| yofel | there's a lot to do everywhere, you can usually measure teams by how understaffed they are :P | 17:06 |
| hggdh | sense! welcome back sir! | 17:08 |
| sense | hello hggdh! Good to see your name on my screen! | 17:09 |
| hggdh | sense: it will be my pleasure, looking at it now. I missed you :-) | 17:09 |
| sense | hggdh: I missed you too. The community is nice. | 17:10 |
| hggdh | sense: done. Are you also looking at -control? | 17:12 |
| sense | hggdh: I would wish to rejoin that as well, but haven't sent in my application. Should I do that? :) | 17:13 |
| hggdh | sense: I think you would be warranted back. pedro_, bdmurray? ^ | 17:13 |
| sense | I shouldn't have left that team. | 17:13 |
| pedro_ | don't think it is needed to send the application again | 17:14 |
| hggdh | :-) life is what it is, don't worry about that | 17:14 |
| pedro_ | welcome back sense :-) | 17:14 |
| sense | Hi and thanks pedro_! | 17:14 |
| dtchen | good to see you again, sense. | 17:15 |
| sense | thanks dtchen | 17:15 |
| hggdh | sense: also done. I am really glad to see you (er, chat with you) | 17:19 |
| sense | hggdh: Thank you! | 17:19 |
| * hggdh considers this a good day already | 17:20 | |
| sense | hggdh: How has this cycle been for you? | 17:20 |
| hggdh | sense: confusing :-) | 17:20 |
| hggdh | I am glad we shipped it, now I have a few days of rest | 17:21 |
| sense | :) | 17:21 |
| sense | Must have been a lot of work, all that new stuff that went into the server. | 17:21 |
| hggdh | it was, but I was not as active on the server, unfortunately, had other pressing work to be done | 17:22 |
| hggdh | pretty much the most important thing I did there was participate a bit on the development of an auxiliary package | 17:22 |
| sense | You did some development! | 17:23 |
| hggdh | yeah. Slowly I am getting back to programming. But nowadays it takes longer to write code, I have to refer to the documentation continuously | 17:24 |
| hggdh | different from riding a bike, if you do not write code continuously, you forget a lot | 17:25 |
| sense | yeah, I can imagine that | 17:25 |
| hggdh | heh. For someone that pretty much only wrote OS-related code, I am amazingly weak nowadays | 17:26 |
| sense | That demonstrates how quickly one forgets things. | 17:26 |
| hggdh | yes. Well, I stopped programming -- *really* programming -- some 15 years ago. From that time onward I think I wrote very few complete programs, and more of patches (but still too few) | 17:28 |
| sense | A lot of things have changed in those 15 years! | 17:29 |
| sense | Even without forgetting, you would need a lot of documentation. | 17:29 |
| hggdh | yes. Python got to be serious, for example, and Java go to be even more a POS | 17:29 |
| hggdh | C is still C, though. And I still hate C++ | 17:30 |

| sense | <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection> says "When reporting a problem with hardware detection, you should report the bug against the kernel." That doesn't make sense to me. | 19:30 |
| sense | What about media-player-info and the likes? | 19:30 |
| sense | Or is it just a general lack of maintenance of the debugging wiki pages? | 19:31 |
| pedro_ | corner cases? | 19:31 |
| pedro_ | looks like it's more for things like my device is not detected at all | 19:31 |
| pedro_ | rather than my device is detected but not mounted in banshee cause is missing the .is_audio_player thing | 19:31 |
| sense | yeah | 19:32 |
| pedro_ | that should be a bit more clear though | 19:32 |
| sense | I looked at some of the other pages and they all need an overhaul. | 19:32 |
