| phanimahesh | how do i request apport information on a bug? | 04:29 |
|---|---|---|
| phanimahesh | i.e, there is a bug, on which additional info is needed. It is missing apport data. How do i instruct the bug reporter to add additional data (apport report) into existng bug? | 04:31 |
| phanimahesh | sorry. got the answer. :) | 04:31 |
| trinikrono | which did you use phanimahesh | 04:35 |
| trinikrono | apport-collect xxxxxx ? | 04:35 |
| phanimahesh | yup. | 04:35 |
| phanimahesh | I need to suggest someone. | 04:35 |
| trinikrono | you saw the bug responses too | 04:36 |
| trinikrono | for apport collect? | 04:36 |
| phanimahesh | there are no responses. very fresh bug with no info. | 04:36 |
| phanimahesh | #1016363 | 04:36 |
| trinikrono | you can put bug 1016363 | 04:37 |
| trinikrono | :D | 04:37 |
| trinikrono | ubot is not working it seems | 04:37 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1016363 in command-not-found "not found problem" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1016363 | 04:37 |
| trinikrono | oh there it is | 04:38 |
| phanimahesh | ok. so i put bug number and ubot2 sends a link? | 04:38 |
| phanimahesh | good. :) | 04:38 |
| trinikrono | yes | 04:39 |
| trinikrono | put a nice response | 04:39 |
| phanimahesh | can you look at it? I sent a short one. | 04:39 |
| trinikrono | you saw the page for that phanimahesh | 04:40 |
| phanimahesh | bug page? | 04:40 |
| phanimahesh | yup. | 04:40 |
| phanimahesh | I've joined the bug squad long ago but couldn't contribute much. Ocassionally i drop by and look at something i can help with or contribute bug heat. :) | 04:41 |
| trinikrono | i meant this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Missing_Apport_Information | 04:42 |
| trinikrono | thats all :D | 04:42 |
| phanimahesh | oh! I'll remember to use those responses in future. I so very love canned responses. :P :) #lazy | 04:43 |
| trinikrono | lol, sometimes they help and some people think we sound like robots lol, so cant make everyone happy | 04:44 |
| phanimahesh | yeah.. there was a meta post on Ask Ubuntu that complained that the site was full of robots. :P | 04:45 |
| phanimahesh | coz we are lazy enough to use a user script to paste pro-forma comments. | 04:45 |
| trinikrono | lol the team has like 1000 members and the have 1000000 bugs so they need all the help they can get | 04:48 |
| phanimahesh | yup. | 04:48 |
| bullgard6 | I entered '~$ ubuntu-bug phpmyadmin'. The hard disk started heavy activity. To my surprise Launchpad did not open (as it did in the past). So I could not report verbally what error I observed. Is this the new intended way of ubuntu-bug's error reporting? | 05:45 |
| phanimahesh | i dont think so. Heavy activity is kind of normal, as it tries to collect additional info. | 05:46 |
| phanimahesh | did waiting help? | 05:46 |
| === zyga-afk is now known as zyga | ||
| bullgard6 | phanimahesh: Yes, very long waiting did help. Very long waiting actually. | 09:17 |
| phanimahesh | lol. ok. | 09:18 |
| phanimahesh | the data collection is heavily resource intensive. | 09:18 |
| bullgard6 | In the past I have compiled more than 100 error reports. So I have acquired a feeling how long it usually takes until Launchpad appears after I issue a ubuntu-bug command. This time the period was unusually long. | 09:28 |
| === zyga is now known as zyga-afk | ||
| phanimahesh | bullgard6: thats.. unusual then. may be file a bug against apport. :P | 10:38 |

| alo21 | hi ak | 12:30 |
| alo21 | all* | 12:30 |
| alo21 | I would like to fix easy bug and someo | 12:30 |
| alo21 | ...someone suggest me to read how to work with patches | 12:31 |
| alo21 | I found it a little bit tricky | 12:32 |
| astraljava | alo21: This is a somewhat good page I often refer to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff | 12:32 |
| alo21 | astraljava: it tells how to work with patches? | 12:33 |
| astraljava | alo21: The only difference if you're making just general patches, is that you replace the 'debdiff' tool with 'diff -Nurp'. | 12:34 |
| astraljava | alo21: It tells how you prepare them, and how you apply them. | 12:34 |
| astraljava | alo21: Have you got a more precise problem or a question? | 12:35 |
| alo21 | astraljava: let me find a specific page | 12:37 |
| alo21 | astraljava: someone give me this guide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems) | 12:40 |
| alo21 | astraljava: and it does not seem very clear | 12:41 |
| astraljava | alo21: Well, it presents all the various ways of using patching systems, and also the work flow of not using a patch system. | 12:43 |
| alo21 | astraljava: are write there all needed informations on how create, apply and test a patch? | 12:43 |
| alo21 | astraljava: so.. is it a comprehensive guide? | 12:44 |
| astraljava | alo21: It _is_ quite comprehensive. Do you have a specific problem with any random steps? | 12:45 |
| alo21 | astraljava: not now... but if I will, I ask you some questions | 12:52 |
| astraljava | Sure, you're always welcome to do so. :) | 12:52 |
| alo21 | astraljava: thanks spending your time helping me | 12:52 |
| astraljava | No probs, happy to help. Thanks for showing interest in making ubuntu better. :) | 12:52 |
| alo21 | it's my pleasure | 12:54 |
| alo21 | hi | 13:10 |
| alo21 | following this guide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems) I edited a patch, my question is: How can I test this patch? | 13:11 |
| alo21 | should I build all? | 13:11 |
| === skaet is now known as skaet_afk | ||
| === skaet_afk is now known as skaet_ | ||
| === rsalveti` is now known as rsalveti | ||
| alo21 | hi all How can i test a patch created by my hands? | 17:13 |
| LoT | try and manually build the package? | 17:13 |
| LoT | or have someone build and run for you | 17:13 |
| alo21 | LoT: I am a beginner, how can I build a package? | 17:15 |

| AlexzAK | Hi, I there are any method to resolve situation when bug with simple fix and patch is not fixed by maintainer for 5 years? | 19:19 |
| AlexzAK | What to do in such cases? | 19:19 |
| === Jikan is now known as Jikai | ||
| === Jikai is now known as Jikan | ||
| jtaylor | which bug? | 19:28 |
| AlexzAK | This for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/readline6/+bug/103986 | 19:30 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 103986 in base-files "Update inputrc config and bash config" [Wishlist,Confirmed] | 19:30 |
| AlexzAK | jtaylor: What to do in such cases? | 19:31 |
| jtaylor | this looks more like different opinion than a bug | 19:33 |
| jtaylor | if the maintainer disagrees, there is nothing you can do | 19:35 |
| AlexzAK | jtaylor: Person says that feature of bash should be enabled. To enable it, maintainer must uncomment just two lines. And Gentoo linux have that lines uncommented realy | 19:35 |
| AlexzAK | If maintainer disagrees with it he must to close bug as "wont fix"? or no? | 19:36 |
| jtaylor | yes | 19:38 |
| AlexzAK | So, what can I do with it? | 19:38 |
| jtaylor | not much | 19:39 |
| === s9iper1_ is now known as s9iper1 | ||
| jtaylor | its not really important enough for e.g. a mail to a list | 19:40 |
| AlexzAK | if it so, than it is very bad :( This bug have patch included and still ignored | 19:42 |
| AlexzAK | Can I commit some fix to the readline6 development brunch? | 19:42 |
| AlexzAK | Ubuntu is titled as "Linux for human beings", but Gentoo have more human friendly bash configuration :( | 19:44 |
| AlexzAK | It is obvious that https://launchpad.net/~doko is too busy. But having bad bash configuration is not an exit | 19:45 |
