[01:06] <cprofitt> hggdh: ping
[01:07] <hggdh> cprofitt: yessir?
[01:07] <cprofitt> change you met RedSingularity -- good guy from my loco that would like to help more with bugs
[01:07] <cprofitt> have you met I meant to say
[01:07] <hggdh> cprofitt: heh. I approved him to -control ;-)
[01:07] <hggdh> but never met in real-life
[01:08] <cprofitt> awesome
[01:08] <RedSingularity> hggdh: jsut wanted to know if i could bother you with some logs from time to time :)
[01:08] <RedSingularity> nothing major
[01:08] <hggdh> RedSingularity: yes, you can, of course. You will just have to join the queue ;-)
[01:09] <RedSingularity> lol
[01:09] <hggdh> :-)
[01:09] <hggdh> RedSingularity: seriously -- ping me when you need something (but not today, under a schedule right now)
[01:10] <RedSingularity> hggdh: will do.  I just run across logs sometimes that I dont understand.
[01:11] <RedSingularity> hggdh: I dont know why i have never thought of bothering you about them....
[01:11] <RedSingularity> you have nothing better to do ;)
[01:11] <hggdh> RedSingularity: I may also not understand them... but we can try together
[01:11] <hggdh> LOL
[01:11] <RedSingularity> :)
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <cancer> skill sets are C, C++, Java
[04:24] <eQuiNoX__> there is a lotta useful documentation out there - that'd be the place to start cancer
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <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 ?
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <eQuiNoX__> also, join #ubuntu-classroom
[04:28] <eQuiNoX__> and read the logs of the previous logs of the sessions that have taken place.
[04:29] <cancer> ok I will do that. And I wanna participate in GSoC 2012 via Ubuntu
[04:29] <cancer> what should I do ?
[04:30] <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.
[04:31] <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
[04:33] <eQuiNoX__> Probably, maybe they have a channel for that, im not sure
[04:33] <eQuiNoX__> IRC channel i.e.
[09:24] <zzecool> #list
[12:26] <eQuiNoX__> hey guys, does the status "needed" for a (security)bug mean that its been triaged but is awaiting a patch?
[12:27] <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!
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <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)
[12:39] <eQuiNoX__> in anycase thanks roignac ! :)
[12:45] <roignac> well, that is not a 'bug status', but more like a 'fix required' status
[12:54] <eQuiNoX__> i see, thanks again
[13:27] <jdstrand> eQuiNoX__: needed in the CVE tracker means that it is confirmed as affecting Ubuntu, and requires a patch
[13:28] <jdstrand> eQuiNoX__: typically you will see needed, needs-triage, pending, not-affected and released
[13:29] <eQuiNoX__> ok cool, thanks a lot
[16:59] <brendand> anyone else see that the white text box in lightdm has become small and ugly?
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <brendand> jibel, and it only affects if using the Light theme? Interesting
[17:52] <bdmurray> Bug Squad Meeting in about 10 minutes in #ubuntu-meeting
[19:02] <cancer> hey
[19:03] <cancer> is anyone out here ?
[19:14] <hggdh> thanks
[19:16] <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.
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <hggdh> this channel is for triage; for generic help on fixing, there is #ubuntu-motu, #ubuntu-packaging (and the specialised channels, like #ubuntu-desktop)
[19:19] <cancer> yeah .. bug triaging is sort of prioritising bugs .. bug fixing is checking for errors in source code
[19:19] <hggdh> sort of
[19:20] <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
[19:21] <hggdh> the issue (if real) may not be code, but docs, etc
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <hggdh> cancer: the channels I pointed to above
[19:24] <cancer> thanks buddy .. :)
[22:02] <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
[22:03] <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.
