| iceroot | for packages from multiverse "sponsors" are responsable for fixes/reviews?? | 14:00 |
| iceroot | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/851725 | 14:00 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 851725 in flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) "flashplugin-downloader is suggesting msttcorefonts but the package is called ttf-mscorefonts-installer (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] | 14:01 |
| iceroot | and because of that i guess they want a debdiff instead of my normal patch | 14:03 |
| iceroot | ah there is a patch-pilot on devel | 14:03 |
| iceroot | what to do when i THINK a bug is an upstream-bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/887442 | 14:14 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 887442 in evolution (Ubuntu) "evolution is using the wrong color to mark missspelled words. yellow instead of red (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] | 14:14 |
| brendand | iceroot - what reason do you have to think it's *not* an upstream bug? | 14:15 |
| iceroot | brendand: because maybe ubuntu patched something | 14:15 |
| hggdh | iceroot: for the evo bug: open upstream, and chat with the evo developers on #evolution on irc.gimp.net | 14:16 |
| iceroot | hggdh: thank you, i will do so | 14:16 |
| hggdh | iceroot: you can always check, looking at the bzr branch of the package | 14:16 |
| brendand | iceroot - 95% chance that unless you can think of a reason why it might be an ubuntu specific problem then it is in fact upstream | 14:17 |
| iceroot | hggdh: brendand u just was not sure what is the correct way to report such bugs because its affecting ubuntu and maybe vanilla-evolution | 14:17 |
| iceroot | s/u/i/ | 14:18 |
| brendand | of course a great way to make sure if to have e.g. debian on a vm and install the vanilla packages there to check. | 14:20 |
| iceroot | brendand: but maybe debian patched something too :) | 14:21 |
| hggdh | iceroot: you will usually need to look at the source package. There are (basically) two types of "Ubuntu" bugs: packaging issues, and patching issues | 14:21 |
| hggdh | for patching, just look at the ./debian/patches directory of the source package | 14:22 |
| iceroot | hggdh: not always easy for a normal user to see what has been patched, even when looking at the patch-file | 14:23 |
| iceroot | hggdh: i will create a upstream-bug, link the launchpad-bug against it and will see what is happening then | 14:23 |
| seb128 | it's a duplicate of bug #829351 | 14:24 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 829351 in evolution (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 1 other project) "Misspelled words are highlighted in yellow instead of red (affects: 4) (dups: 1) (heat: 19)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/829351 | 14:24 |
| hggdh | iceroot: well, I did not suggest it would be easy ;-). But, then, a so-called "normal user" would not even know of upstreams :-) | 14:24 |
| hggdh | seb128: thank you, dear sir | 14:25 |
| iceroot | hggdh: ok its upstream and there is already a patch. http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=d4571114e8b8949922213ac23825075880e59231 so what are the next steps? | 14:34 |
| brendand | iceroot - link it upstream and the LP bug will get updated as the upstream one progresses | 14:36 |
| iceroot | brendand: done | 14:36 |
| iceroot | thanks for the help | 14:38 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| iceroot | what is the correct tag if something is fixed upstream? | 15:21 |
| hggdh | iceroot: no chances on our bug -- if you linked the LP bug to upstream, Launchpad will automatically update the status of the upstream bug | 15:43 |
| iceroot | hggdh: ok | 15:47 |
| RedSingularity | mvo: available? | 16:03 |
| RedSingularity | mvo: when you get a chance, have a look at bug 878719. Not sure what the culprit is. Even a clean install of the update-manager and its config files didnt help the issue. | 16:07 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 878719 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Update manager comes to a contineous "processing" status (with the rotating cursor pointer) when the "Install updates" button is pressed (affects: 2) (heat: 14)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/878719 | 16:07 |
| mvo | RedSingularity: ohhh, so the bug in comment #4 is a bug in u-m that happend during the porting. should only affect people who do not have aptdaemon installed | 16:41 |
| iceroot | what is happening to bugs which are only affecting a EOL-version of ubuntu? are they closed as "invalid"? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxde-common/+bug/309983 | 17:13 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 309983 in lxde-common (Ubuntu) "icon at LXDE panel not appearing fine (affects: 2) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] | 17:13 |
| bdmurray | no they should be tested in the latest release of Ubuntu if the package is still available | 17:13 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: firefox-3.0 is no longer available and the bug does not affect higher version of lubuntu and firefox | 17:14 |
| bdmurray | then won't fix sounds like the correct status | 17:14 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: ok | 17:15 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: seems i can not change the state to "wont fix" | 17:15 |
| bdmurray | if you can not set that status, add a comment saying why it should be won't fix and let me know and I'll set the right status | 17:15 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: ok | 17:16 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: done https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxde-common/+bug/309983 | 17:18 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 309983 in lxde-common (Ubuntu) "icon at LXDE panel not appearing fine (affects: 2) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] | 17:18 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: more information about what supported ubuntu version you tested this with would be helpful for people in the future | 17:19 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: rather than having to try and think about what releases were supported in 2011-11 ... | 17:19 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: done | 17:20 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: wow, thanks for testing with all of those releases! I've set the task to Won't Fix. | 17:21 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: yes, i made some vms in the last month for better support on creating bugs (especially to see what versions are affected from bugs i created) | 17:21 |
| bdmurray | "bugs I created"? | 17:22 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: opened :) | 17:23 |

| iceroot | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/851725 is the patch from me the correct way of fixing this issue? do i have to put someone on cc on that bug? for universe i know i have to use debdiff and ubuntu-sponsors. what about multiverse? | 17:26 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 851725 in flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) "flashplugin-downloader is suggesting msttcorefonts but the package is called ttf-mscorefonts-installer (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] | 17:26 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: the bug bot that commented on that bug has put it in the right queue | 17:27 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: ok i was just wondering because its 2 month old (i know its not an important issue) | 17:28 |
| iceroot | so i was not sure about "ubuntu-sponsors" "debdiff" and "multiverse" | 17:29 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: having a patch instead of a debdiff creates slightly more work for a developer to upload the package so if it were a debdiff it'd go to a different queue and may get fixed faster | 17:33 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: ah i though a debdiff would be more work because a patch can placed in debian/patches and works on every new version and a debdiff is only working against the latest source-package | 17:34 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: because its a change to the control file it wouldn't go into debian/patches | 17:38 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: and this does not qualify for an SRU so it would only be fixed in the development release (precise) | 17:38 |
| iceroot | bdmurray: why should it be a SRU? | 17:39 |
| iceroot | if i understand SRU correctly its bringing new versions of a package in an existing release (like a major update) | 17:40 |
| bdmurray | iceroot: I was saying it shouldn't be released in an update for a stable release of Ubuntu | 17:40 |
| hggdh | iceroot: no, new versions in stable releases is generically known as a backport | 18:42 |
| hggdh | SRUs are usually much more contained, and maintain the same version | 18:43 |
| roadmr | hehe so as long as we're talking SRUs, are string changes SRUable? I have an updated string in trunk and would like that change to make it into 11.10, will it be accepted? | 18:52 |
| hggdh | if it is important enough, yes | 19:04 |
| hggdh | if it is just a cosmetic fix, no new and important information being conveyed, chances are it will be refused | 19:04 |
| roadmr | hggdh: we refer to "sound preferences" when it should be "sound settings" | 19:05 |
| hggdh | roadmr: it might be enough, since we would then be directing the user to an incorrect place | 19:06 |
| hggdh | worth to bite the bullet, and try | 19:06 |
| roadmr | hggdh: ok, sounds reasonable, I'll try that then, thanks :) | 19:07 |
| ersi | It's all in the motivation | 19:07 |
| roadmr | ersi: it's just to fix confusing strings (two of them) - I guess it'll be up to the SRU reviewer to decide whether it's worthwhile | 19:08 |
| ersi | It's still all in the motivation :-) | 19:09 |
| bkerensa | Hi yofel..... apparently Gstreamer's phonon backend is broken | 21:37 |
| bkerensa | should I report this or do we have a open bug ? | 21:37 |
| Fusionite | Hai | 21:38 |
| bkerensa | hi | 21:38 |
| yofel | bkerensa: I don't know of one offhand - phonon-backend-gstreamer works fine for me | 21:49 |
| bkerensa | yofel: Well one of the devs from #tomahawk said you were aware that phonon-backend-gstreamer is bugging | 21:49 |
| * bkerensa cant get it to work with Tomahawk but the VLC phonon works fine | 21:49 | |
| yofel | let's move there actually | 21:50 |
| bkerensa | ok will do | 21:50 |
