[04:29] <phanimahesh> how do i request apport information on a bug?
[04:31] <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. :)
[04:35] <trinikrono> which did you use phanimahesh
[04:35] <trinikrono> apport-collect xxxxxx ?
[04:35] <phanimahesh> yup.
[04:35] <phanimahesh> I need to suggest someone.
[04:36] <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
[04:37] <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
[04:38] <trinikrono> oh there it is
[04:38] <phanimahesh> ok. so i put bug number and ubot2 sends a link?
[04:38] <phanimahesh> good. :)
[04:39] <trinikrono> yes
[04:39] <trinikrono> put a nice response
[04:39] <phanimahesh> can you look at it? I sent a short one.
[04:40] <trinikrono> you saw the page for that phanimahesh
[04:40] <phanimahesh> bug page?
[04:40] <phanimahesh> yup.
[04:41] <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. :)
[04:42] <trinikrono> i meant this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Missing_Apport_Information
[04:42] <trinikrono> thats all :D
[04:43] <phanimahesh> oh! I'll remember to use those responses in future. I so very love canned responses. :P :) #lazy
[04:44] <trinikrono> lol, sometimes they help and some people think we sound like robots lol, so cant make everyone happy
[04:45] <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.
[04:48] <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.
[05:45] <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?
[05:46] <phanimahesh> i dont think so. Heavy activity is kind of normal, as it tries to collect additional info.
[05:46] <phanimahesh> did waiting help?
[09:17] <bullgard6> phanimahesh: Yes, very long waiting did help. Very long waiting actually.
[09:18] <phanimahesh> lol. ok.
[09:18] <phanimahesh> the data collection is heavily resource intensive.
[09:28] <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.
[10:38] <phanimahesh> bullgard6: thats.. unusual then. may be file a bug against apport. :P
[12:30] <alo21> hi ak
[12:30] <alo21> all*
[12:30] <alo21> I would like to fix easy bug and someo
[12:31] <alo21> ...someone suggest me to read how to work with patches
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <alo21> astraljava: it tells how to work with patches?
[12:34] <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.
[12:35] <astraljava> alo21: Have you got a more precise problem or a question?
[12:37] <alo21> astraljava: let me find a specific page
[12:40] <alo21> astraljava: someone give me this guide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems)
[12:41] <alo21> astraljava: and it does not seem very clear
[12:43] <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?
[12:44] <alo21> astraljava: so.. is it a comprehensive guide?
[12:45] <astraljava> alo21: It _is_ quite comprehensive. Do you have a specific problem with any random steps?
[12:52] <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. :)
[12:54] <alo21> it's my pleasure
[13:10] <alo21> hi
[13:11] <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?
[17:13] <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
[17:15] <alo21> LoT: I am a beginner, how can I build a package?
[19:19] <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?
[19:28] <jtaylor> which bug?
[19:30] <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]
[19:31] <AlexzAK> jtaylor: What to do in such cases?
[19:33] <jtaylor> this looks more like different opinion than a bug
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <AlexzAK> If maintainer disagrees with it he must to close bug as "wont fix"? or no?
[19:38] <jtaylor> yes
[19:38] <AlexzAK> So, what can I do with it?
[19:39] <jtaylor> not much
[19:40] <jtaylor> its not really important enough for e.g. a mail to a list
[19:42] <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?
[19:44] <AlexzAK> Ubuntu is titled as "Linux for human beings", but Gentoo have more human friendly bash configuration :(
[19:45] <AlexzAK> It is obvious that https://launchpad.net/~doko is too busy. But having bad bash configuration is not an exit
