mfischI'd like to mark https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imsniff/+bug/607649  as "Won't Fix".  It is a lucid bug that was fixed in maverick.  The bug itself is a manpage typo, too low severity to ever fix in lucid.  Thoughts?03:35
ubot4Launchpad bug 607649 in imsniff (Ubuntu) "typo in imsniff's manpage (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Confirmed]03:35
mfischAlso the severity should be Low or Wishlist, but if it's marked as Wont Fix, perhaps that does not matter03:36
mfischI'd like to mark https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+bug/856387 as a High severity.  nettools functionality is severely impacted by this bug and there are numerous dupes.04:55
ubot4Launchpad bug 856387 in gnome-nettool (Ubuntu) "Network tools IP information list is too small to see data (affects: 17) (dups: 4) (heat: 76)" [Undecided,Confirmed]04:55
seb128om26er, hi12:51
om26erseb128, hey12:52
om26erseb128, how are you today ?12:52
seb128om26er, good thanks, how are you?12:53
om26erseb128, i am totally fine12:54
seb128om26er, this libroffice bug, those users add the infos about the version etc because that's what the bug filing page recommends12:56
seb128om26er, like use https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+filebug, click on "next"12:56
seb128"We also need:12:56
seb1281) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu12:56
seb1282) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center"12:56
seb1283) What you expected to happen12:57
seb1284) What happened instead12:57
seb128"12:57
seb128is the guideline12:57
seb128om26er, so rather than complaining to users if you don't like the format you should try to get launchpad fixed ;-)12:57
om26erseb128, I made the description simpler since the issue is so simple to reproduce, you just have to start the application and click on the bottom right corner of the app, all those text were actually getting in the way of understanding the bug12:59
om26ercurrently its like 60lines bug report it could be made 20 words only and I attempted at that :-D13:01
seb128om26er, well you pointed to a wiki and wrote "reports stresses first on the steps to reproduce the problem:"13:03
seb128om26er, which is fair, I'm just pointing that's not what the launchpad bug filing page ask for though13:04
seb128so you might want to talk to the launchpad guys about getting the guideline tweaked to put the description first and versions next13:04
om26eri will file a bug report for that definitely, that could definitely be improved13:05
seb128well I'm just pointing why people file bugs this way, that's what launchpad tell them to do, if that's not useful from your side you should aim at getting launchpad instructions sorted13:05

ashamscdbs, I can't understand what the last line of 100paper cuts mean? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+spec/other-design-p-papercuts-future17:41
ashamse.g. "[YokoZar] Talk to MPT about a separate database with alternate SC app descriptions: TODO"17:41
iktmpt is mathew paul thomas17:52
iktsc I assume is kde sc17:52
iktwops17:52
iktprobably helps if I read the blueprint17:52
iktif sc = software centre, I have no idea what it has to do with reviving the papercuts project17:55
ashamsikt, me neither :D17:57
timoniahello ubuntu community. Can anyone help me find and fix my first bug :). I don't have any prior experience and lot of theoretical knowledge :( . By fixing bugs I wish to learn the practical aspects of programming :)17:58
ashamstimonia, we're just triagers :) ppl at #ubuntu-motu are your target(I believe:D) best wishes :)18:00
timoniaashams, triagers mean that you people work on a bug together to reproduce it but not fix it?18:01
ashamstimonia, Exactly, we try to reproduce and document it so developers can work on it18:02
timoniaashams, ok :)18:02

cdbsashams, ikt: Its about creating a web database that contains package descriptions21:01
cdbsashams, ikt: MPT was actually considering making a database so that software center could query package descriptions21:02
cdbsashams, ikt: because right now many application descriptions in software center are geeky21:02
cdbsand the only way to fix that is to edit the package itself, not very convenient for contributors, and even Debian doesn't like us modifying control files in Ubuntu just because of this21:02
cdbsits a tough problem to explain21:03
ashamscdbs, but how this iis related to 100pcuts ?21:08
cdbsashams: Well21:09
cdbsashams: we have had a "fix Software center package descriptions" milestone since Maverick21:09
cdbsin the papercuts project I mean21:09
cdbsso21:09
cdbsthis way seems to be a more efficient method to fix things rather than edit files by hand and add to the ubuntu-debian delta difference21:10
ashamsah, I got it21:10
ashamscdbs, can this: http://appnr.com be useful in this?21:13
cdbsashams: well21:14
cdbsashams: we don't have control over that service21:14
cdbsand the maintainer of that site can do anything they wish21:14
cdbsso no, it will either be a home-grown service21:14
cdbsor nothing21:14
* ashams nods21:15
* penguin42 is a bit confused by this dynamic bugs thing23:35
