[07:14] hello [07:18] bbl [07:45] hello I want to volunteer for ubuntu and fix bugs. Any one willing to mentor me? [07:49] no one :( [08:19] hsingh - it might be a bit early for most of the mentors [08:21] brendand, some one to guide me if I get stuck or at least help me get started [08:22] hsingh - i know. i just mean you might want to check back later in the day [08:22] hsingh - and everyone's here to guide you if you get stuck [08:22] hsingh - what are you interested in doing? [08:23] brendand, bug squad [08:24] hsingh - and you read the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad [08:25] brendand, yes [08:25] hsingh - any questions? [08:26] brendand, for most of the bug reports I can't understand where to start looking and how to use the detail logs provided [08:27] hsingh - that's always the hardest part. but you can still help in several ways. [08:28] brendand, how? [08:28] hsingh - step 1, the bug needs to be confirmed, or marked incomplete. try seeing if the same bug happens for you [08:28] hsingh - if it doesn't then you need to decide if the reporter has given you enough info to try and reproduce it [08:29] hsingh - at least they should be saying which version of ubuntu and the package they are using [08:32] brendand, okay. but my main motive is to learn and write code :) [08:43] hsingh - bugsquad is not really meant directly for coding. there are other avenues for that, but it would depend on your coding experience [08:44] brendand, like? [08:45] hsingh - you mean which avenues? [08:46] brendand, yes [08:47] hsingh - unity bitesize bugs is a good way to get involved. also papercuts [08:48] hsingh - it depends on what your coding skills are and what you're interested in [10:37] bug 967923 [10:37] ali1234: Error: Bug #967923 not found.

[11:19] iceroot: well, I know about the launchpad, I'm just not sure whether it's Ubuntu specific or not [11:23] ah, well, I'll report it to Ubuntu, and we'll see how it goes [11:25] alourie: maybe post the bug after you created it here [11:26] iceroot: no, can't do. The bug is in Empathy, and those are kept on gnome, so I'll open it there anyway...

[12:49] I filed a bug in early august, regarding an issue fixed upstream, for which the patch isn't applied in Ubuntu. [12:49] 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 [12:50] I attached the patch to the bug. A few days after , it has been triaged [12:50] And since then, ... that's pretty much it. [12:51] 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) [12:52] 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] Don't get me grong, I understand everybody's time is precious. This is not a complain, just a search for solution [12:53] (BTW I offered to pay for the time a committer would agree to spend applying the patch) [12:55] 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] The issue is launchpad bug #821077 [12:55] 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] Thank you === zyga is now known as zyga-afk [13:12] Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what's the procedure for proposed bugs to be released? [13:37] emorris: you mean bugs that have fixes in the -proposed archive? [13:38] yofel, yeah [13:38] 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 [13:39] *and a week [13:39] yofel, awesome, thanks :-) [13:46] 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?? [13:48] or we use apport collect bug number to get info ?? [13:49] it depends of the crash [13:49] if its a memory corruption one (*alloc* calls) then yes, a valgrind log is really useful there [13:57] pedro_ and in case of unity crash and software crash? is there any ubuntu wiki page that i study? [13:58] software crash == software center? [13:58] i think there's a page for unity.. [13:58] * pedro_ looks [13:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/FilingBugs [13:59] bil21al, ^ [14:00] ok i study that thankx === zyga-afk is now known as zyga === JanC_ is now known as JanC [14:49] in which branch we report the theme bug?

[15:06] you can then mark this report as a dup of the new one [15:06] ok thank you. [15:07] you're welcome [15:07] thanks for help us :-) [15:12] no no pedro_ bro you help me.

[17:01] hggdh probably ^^ [17:01] sense: long time no see :) [17:01] Hello yofel! [17:01] I've been away for a while, but now I'm back. [17:01] \o/ [17:01] How's everyone been? [17:06] sense: pretty busy, I'm currently more working on kubuntu than on bugs though [17:06] yofel: A lot to do? [17:06] there's a lot to do everywhere, you can usually measure teams by how understaffed they are :P [17:08] sense! welcome back sir! [17:09] hello hggdh! Good to see your name on my screen! [17:09] sense: it will be my pleasure, looking at it now. I missed you :-) [17:10] hggdh: I missed you too. The community is nice. [17:12] sense: done. Are you also looking at -control? [17:13] hggdh: I would wish to rejoin that as well, but haven't sent in my application. Should I do that? :) [17:13] sense: I think you would be warranted back. pedro_, bdmurray? ^ [17:13] I shouldn't have left that team. [17:14] don't think it is needed to send the application again [17:14] :-) life is what it is, don't worry about that [17:14] welcome back sense :-) [17:14] Hi and thanks pedro_! [17:15] good to see you again, sense. [17:15] thanks dtchen [17:19] sense: also done. I am really glad to see you (er, chat with you) [17:19] hggdh: Thank you! [17:20] * hggdh considers this a good day already [17:20] hggdh: How has this cycle been for you? [17:20] sense: confusing :-) [17:21] I am glad we shipped it, now I have a few days of rest [17:21] :) [17:21] Must have been a lot of work, all that new stuff that went into the server. [17:22] it was, but I was not as active on the server, unfortunately, had other pressing work to be done [17:22] pretty much the most important thing I did there was participate a bit on the development of an auxiliary package [17:23] You did some development! [17:24] yeah. Slowly I am getting back to programming. But nowadays it takes longer to write code, I have to refer to the documentation continuously [17:25] different from riding a bike, if you do not write code continuously, you forget a lot [17:25] yeah, I can imagine that [17:26] heh. For someone that pretty much only wrote OS-related code, I am amazingly weak nowadays [17:26] That demonstrates how quickly one forgets things. [17:28] 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) [17:29] A lot of things have changed in those 15 years! [17:29] Even without forgetting, you would need a lot of documentation. [17:29] yes. Python got to be serious, for example, and Java go to be even more a POS [17:30] C is still C, though. And I still hate C++ [17:30] :) === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 === jdstrand is now known as jdstr === jdstr is now known as jdstrand [18:35] bummer, some stress tests require manual intervention (hibernate_30 requires me to tell it to go ahead and do it) [19:30] 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] What about media-player-info and the likes? [19:31] Or is it just a general lack of maintenance of the debugging wiki pages? [19:31] corner cases? [19:31] looks like it's more for things like my device is not detected at all [19:31] rather than my device is detected but not mounted in banshee cause is missing the .is_audio_player thing [19:32] yeah [19:32] that should be a bit more clear though [19:32] I looked at some of the other pages and they all need an overhaul. [19:33] Maybe something for the UDS! :) [19:33] o.O [19:51] yes, it is time to overhaul them -- again! === yofel_ is now known as yofel [22:29] bug 715438, anyone available to triage importance?
