| cancer | hey | 04:22 |
| cancer | is there anyone who can help me in fixing bugs in Ubuntu | 04:22 |
| cancer | I'm a B.Tech CSE student and wanna contribute to ubuntu | 04:22 |
| cancer | skill sets are C, C++, Java | 04:23 |
| eQuiNoX__ | there is a lotta useful documentation out there - that'd be the place to start cancer | 04:24 |
| eQuiNoX__ | have you looked at the ubuntu wiki? you'll find that pretty useful. it details how one should go about bugfixing | 04:25 |
| eQuiNoX__ | check out the topic of this channel, documentation link | 04:25 |
| cancer | yeah . I'm reading that | 04:26 |
| cancer | but .. I wanna know what does it require to fix bugs ? like C or C++ or Python ?? which IDE should I use ? where to get those source code from ? | 04:26 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i dont think you'll need an IDE. From what I've seen its mostly C, C++, python. | 04:27 |
| eQuiNoX__ | Details about getting the source code etc can be found at the wiki | 04:27 |
| eQuiNoX__ | also, join #ubuntu-classroom | 04:28 |
| eQuiNoX__ | and read the logs of the previous logs of the sessions that have taken place. | 04:28 |
| cancer | ok I will do that. And I wanna participate in GSoC 2012 via Ubuntu | 04:29 |
| cancer | what should I do ? | 04:29 |
| cancer | I wanna contribute to Ubuntu forever | 04:30 |
| eQuiNoX__ | Well, I'm not sure if Ubuntu'll apply for gsoc so cant help you out much, there. | 04:30 |
| cancer | I have seen there on wiki about GSoC 2012 . | 04:31 |
| cancer | they have displayed ideas page | 04:31 |
| cancer | it means they might apply for that | 04:31 |
| eQuiNoX__ | Probably, maybe they have a channel for that, im not sure | 04:33 |
| eQuiNoX__ | IRC channel i.e. | 04:33 |

| eQuiNoX__ | hey guys, does the status "needed" for a (security)bug mean that its been triaged but is awaiting a patch? | 12:26 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i tried looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/BugTriage ; but im not sure. would be glad if someone could clarify | 12:27 |
| eQuiNoX__ | thanks in advance! | 12:27 |
| roignac | There is no such bug status in Launchpad - see https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Statuses | 12:33 |
| roignac | however this might be an imported bug status from external bug - see https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Statuses/External | 12:33 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i saw it here => http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-3618.html | 12:34 |
| ubot4 | eQuiNoX__: ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3618) | 12:34 |
| eQuiNoX__ | in anycase thanks roignac ! :) | 12:39 |
| roignac | well, that is not a 'bug status', but more like a 'fix required' status | 12:45 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i see, thanks again | 12:54 |
| jdstrand | eQuiNoX__: needed in the CVE tracker means that it is confirmed as affecting Ubuntu, and requires a patch | 13:27 |
| jdstrand | eQuiNoX__: typically you will see needed, needs-triage, pending, not-affected and released | 13:28 |
| eQuiNoX__ | ok cool, thanks a lot | 13:29 |

| brendand | anyone else see that the white text box in lightdm has become small and ugly? | 16:59 |
| krnekhelesh | brendand, yeah i have that problem too | 17:01 |
| krnekhelesh | actually it is not confined to lightdm, but to other application which have an input box | 17:01 |
| jibel | brendand, I do but there's an update of unity-greeter theming in light-themes 0.1.8.28. I was waiting this update before filing a bug. | 17:02 |
| krnekhelesh | I am waiting for an update on light-themes | 17:02 |
| brendand | jibel, and it only affects if using the Light theme? Interesting | 17:03 |

| hggdh | thanks | 19:14 |
| cancer | hey there | 19:16 |
| cancer | I wanna start fixing bugs in Ubuntu | 19:16 |
| cancer | what should I do ? I went through all the documentation. | 19:16 |
| hggdh | cancer: welcome. Did you read the links on the topic? | 19:17 |
| cancer | but didn't find where to find the source code | 19:17 |
| cancer | ? | 19:17 |
| cancer | yup | 19:17 |
| hggdh | cancer: there is bug triage, and bug fixing | 19:17 |
| hggdh | this channel is for triage; for generic help on fixing, there is #ubuntu-motu, #ubuntu-packaging (and the specialised channels, like #ubuntu-desktop) | 19:18 |
| cancer | yeah .. bug triaging is sort of prioritising bugs .. bug fixing is checking for errors in source code | 19:19 |
| hggdh | sort of | 19:19 |
| cancer | I am very new to this .. so i think triaging will be new place to start with .. what do u say ? | 19:20 |
| cancer | I'm a B.Tech CSE student ..n my skill sets are C, C++, Java | 19:20 |
| hggdh | triaging is finding (1) if it is a real issue;(2) what is the probable source of the issue;(3) if all needed documentation is available | 19:20 |
| hggdh | the issue (if real) may not be code, but docs, etc | 19:21 |
| hggdh | oh yes, add to triaging (4) reproducing, and steps to reproduce | 19:22 |
| hggdh | if you are just interested in programming, this is really the wrong channel | 19:22 |
| cancer | ohhkk .. so where do u think I should start from if I'm interested in real bug fixing .. sort of coding | 19:22 |
| hggdh | although I cannot see a programmer that does not understand triaging also -- they do exist, but they are flawed, IMHO | 19:23 |
| cancer | oopsss | 19:23 |
| hggdh | cancer: the channels I pointed to above | 19:24 |
| cancer | thanks buddy .. :) | 19:24 |

| two|face | Is there a known bug with the network interface card Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 ? | 22:02 |
| two|face | I tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 on two Dell Poweredge 1950's today, both with the same card and the network connections do not work | 22:02 |
| two|face | I tested these cards using a Windows installation and a CentOS installation and both work fine. | 22:03 |
| two|face | In Ubuntu I tried to use DHCP and manual configuration, neither one worked. DHCP and the manual settings I used worked in CentOS / Windows respectively. | 22:03 |
