| adam_g | is there some way to work around the maintainer-script-needs-depends-on-adduser lintian error, if the packages its pointing at all depend on a common package, which has adduser as a Depends? | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| adam_g | or should adduser be moved to each package in question instead of defining globally, to shut lintian up? | 00:05 |
| slangasek | adam_g: there's a way to shut lintian up, but I would argue it's simpler to just comply | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | adam_g: I would in general argue that direct use should imply direct dependency | 00:22 |

| infinity | psusi: You could just fix it instead! ;) | 02:21 |
| psusi | I have, just waiting for a sponsor to merge | 02:22 |

| infinity | I'll have a look at it in a bit, then. | 02:23 |
| infinity | psusi: Are you around for a bit tonight, in case I have questions? | 02:23 |
| psusi | infinity, sure | 02:23 |
| infinity | psusi: Alright. I'll poke it later tonight. If you decide to go have a life instead, I'll either sponsor or leave feedback on the bug, as appropriate. | 02:24 |

| bitplane- | Hi, I was bored and decided to try fixing one of the bugs on the tracker. I decided on a seemingly simple one, the text size in notify bubbles being wrong | 03:44 |
| bitplane- | I have a stupid question though... there's debug statements in the code, how would I normally activate them? do I have to go and tell g++ to compile with DEBUG defined, or is there a better way? | 03:45 |
| infinity | bitplane-: If you're talking about the code having something like DEBUG("foo") in it, find the declaration of DEBUG and see what it does. | 04:40 |
| infinity | bitplane-: Odds are that it keys off a magic environment variable being set, or the program being run with --debug. | 04:41 |

| kklimonda | georgelappies: hard to say, I'm not seeing this problem | 14:50 |
| kklimonda | georgelappies: if X is crashing it should ask you to upload the report to LP | 14:51 |
| georgelappies | kklimonda: it does look like X, i tried ATI proprietary drivers as well but the crash still happens... | 15:06 |
| georgelappies | kklimonda: where could the log files be that would indicate the source of this bug? can I somehow enable logging?> | 15:24 |
| kklimonda | georgelappies: if it crashed you should get a log in /var/crash | 15:28 |
| georgelappies | kklimonda: if it is not in /var/crash does it mean that maybe the kernel crashed and not X? | 15:31 |
| kklimonda | georgelappies: ah yes, that's also possible (I think I misread your question) | 15:31 |
| georgelappies | kklimonda: is their log files the kernel writes to on a crash? | 15:34 |
| kklimonda | georgelappies: I'd try to ask people on #ubuntu-x in that case during week, they have more experience debugging such issues | 15:34 |
| kklimonda | georgelappies: you can check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/syslog.1 | 15:35 |
| kklimonda | if computer hasn't completely locked up there is a chance that something ended up there | 15:36 |
| georgelappies | kklimonda: thanks, will do ;) | 16:06 |

| juliohm | Someone could reproduce the bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/965341 | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 965341 in procps (Ubuntu) "watch command line utility crashes with segfault when processing binary output" [Undecided,New] | 23:28 |
| juliohm | How are launchpad bugs triggered? There are days since i reported the bug and stills undecided state. | 23:29 |
| penguin42 | juliohm: It relies on someone triaging it - there are lots of bugs, so it's a matter of time available and luck, it depends on the package as well and if someone tries it | 23:35 |
| astraljava | juliohm: They are not automagically handled, except for some simple cases. They need to be triaged in order to progress. More info on #ubuntu-bugs channel. | 23:35 |
| juliohm | Understand, just wondering because that was my first report to launchpad. I was thinking the community was more active in the sense that the bug is easily reproducible. In other track systems i've reporting bugs, the state is decided pretty fast. | 23:41 |
| penguin42 | juliohm: Until someone looks at it, they don't realise it's so easy to reproduce! | 23:43 |
| juliohm | penguin42, oh, i was thinking people is notified in their mail box with some kind of summary of what the bug is about. :-) | 23:44 |
| juliohm | Anyways, thank you for take the look. ;-) | 23:45 |
| penguin42 | juliohm: Some people will be, but they just get zillions of notifications; so they pick off stuff which is affecting lots of people or causing major panics and occasionally get around to looking at the rest | 23:46 |
| juliohm | I can imagine a lot of notifications, one more reason why i have to make a post about how to contribute in launchpad. Do you have some nice blog post about contributing with Ubuntu on Launchpad? | 23:49 |
| penguin42 | juliohm: possibly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs although it doesn't say much about what happens next | 23:50 |
| juliohm | penguin42, that one i already know | 23:51 |
| juliohm | But i'm talking about the launchpad features, the daily activities of a Ubuntu-bug-reporter | 23:51 |
| penguin42 | juliohm: there is a #launchpad that may help somewhat - but that's the mehcanics of the system more, #ubuntu-bugs is perhaps a better place to ask about that, and see the info on bugsquad and bugcontrol | 23:54 |
| penguin42 | any libc standards lawyers about - juliohm's bug seems to be isprint segfaulting when passed invalid input - I just don't know whether it's correct for it to do that | 23:55 |
| juliohm | ok, thanks penguin42 , i'll ask in the appropriate channel. ;-) | 23:55 |
| juliohm | penguin42, the bug with watch is not just a print in the binary file, because watch is interactive, it should hang until a Ctrl+c | 23:56 |
| penguin42 | the manpage for isprint and friends says 'These functions check whether c, which must have the value of an unsigned char or EOF, ....' - is it reasonable for it to seg if the value isn't an unsigned char or EOF? | 23:56 |
| juliohm | for me, segfault is always a bug | 23:56 |
| penguin42 | juliohm: The question is whether the bug is in watch or the C library | 23:57 |
| juliohm | independently of the program. | 23:57 |
| juliohm | oh | 23:57 |
| juliohm | I don't know. | 23:57 |
| cjwatson | the behaviour of isprint is undefined if it is passed something other than a value representable as an unsigned char or EOF; undefined behaviour includes the potential to segfault | 23:59 |
