[09:17] <jfi> yofel, thanks a lot yofel
[10:02] <txomon> hi, I just reported this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1062758 about the installation in text mode (the mode that you default use in alternative CDs and in mini-iso / netboot installations)
[10:02] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1062758 in ubuntu "In text installation select and install programs menu needs improvement" [Undecided,New]
[10:05] <txomon> I had no idea on which packet to put it
[10:42] <yofel> txomon: I'm not exactly sure either, the installer would be 'debian-installer', the install task selection is provided by 'tasksel' I believe, but I'm not sure if d-i uses that or has it's own menu
[10:42] <txomon> well, that isn't really the package, as the meta packages are the config... no idea really yofel
[11:12] <malizor> Hi everyone,
[11:13] <malizor> I keep having a bug in aptd on Quantal
[11:13] <malizor> Apport redirect me to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058038
[11:13] <ubot2> malizor: Error: <Bugtracker.plugin.Launchpad instance at 0x89c760c> bug 1058038 not found
[11:13] <malizor> But yeah, it is not found.
[11:14] <malizor> Is it because the bug is marked private?
[11:14] <jtaylor> probably
[11:15] <jtaylor> meh my internet is acting up can't check
[11:15] <malizor> Can someone have a look and change it to public if possible?
[11:15] <malizor> As far as I know, this is just an encoding bug when installing a deb file which path has accent in it...
[11:27] <jtaylor> made it public
[11:59] <malizor> jtaylor: thanks!

[15:21] <x64> hello everyone
[15:22] <penguin42> hey
[15:22] <x64> i'm new to bug-fixing
[15:22] <x64> i've read the wiki
[15:22] <x64> and have tried the tutorials
[15:24] <x64> how do i find a bug which is good to start with ?
[15:24] <dlentz> hi x64, is there anything or packages you're interested in?
[15:24] <penguin42> x64: To fix or to triage?
[15:24] <penguin42> x64: To fix look for ones tagged with bitesize
[15:24] <x64> i wish gwibber was better :)
[15:25] <x64> thanks penguin42 , i'll sure do that
[15:25] <dlentz> a good rule of thumb is to "scratch your itch" (for me, it was audio bugs, but I branched out into other stuff too)
[15:25] <penguin42> yeh fixing stuff that annoys you is good :-)
[15:26] <x64> i'm more interested in fixing than triaging... but don't have any prblm
[15:27] <x64> i'm looking at the bugs page of ubuntu in launchpad
[15:27] <x64> where does the bitsize tag appear ?
[15:28] <mitya57> x64: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize
[15:29] <mitya57> x64: also some easy-to-fix things are listed here:
[15:29] <mitya57> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/BugFixingInitiative#New_contributors
[15:29] <x64> thanks mitya57
[15:30] <x64> mitya57 :
[15:30] <x64> what's the second link about ?
[15:31] <x64> is it like the tutorial about bumprace ?
[15:31] <mitya57> x64: ignore that, it seems that most of the bugs from there are fixed already
[15:32] <x64> ok
[15:32] <jtaylor> x64: here a couple of merges/syncs that could be worthwile for quantal http://paste.ubuntu.com/1264034/
[15:32] <x64> how do i search bugs with a particular tag ?
[15:33] <mitya57> x64: use advanced search: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?advanced=1
[15:33] <mitya57> or use my link above and replace "bitesize" with your tag
[15:33] <x64> ok, got it
[15:36] <x64> i found this the simplest : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ftpcopy/+bug/305831
[15:36] <ubot2> Ubuntu bug 305831 in ftpcopy "spelling mistake in man page" [Low,Triaged]
[15:37] <x64> ya
[15:37] <x64> can somebody guide me to go about fixing it
[15:38] <penguin42> x64: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug.html
[15:39] <penguin42> x64: Remember to check upstream in debian and/or the original place the app comes from to get it fixed there
[15:39] <x64> okkk... i just couldn't understand the edit-patch part
[15:40] <jtaylor> spelling fixes aren't that useful in ubuntu
[15:40] <jtaylor> its best to forward these to upstream/debian
[15:40] <x64> i'll fix the spelling after branching it... but what next ?
[15:40] <x64> jtaylor : very true...
[15:41] <x64> but i just need to start
[15:41] <penguin42> x64: So the idea is to branch it, then make the fixed branch available on lp for merging
[15:42] <penguin42> x64: Then someone can look at it, agree or disagree with your change and press a button and it gets merged
[15:42] <x64> tell me about the edit-patch part
[15:43] <penguin42> x64: Debian packages start with a tar from upstream and then glue on a set of patches that fix individual issues, your change is to add an extra patch into that pile of patches
[15:44] <x64> okkkkk
[15:44] <penguin42> x64: edit-patch is a command from the devscripts package to make it easier to add patches
[15:45] <x64> so after fixing the spelling, what should be my next step ? edit-patch ?
[15:45] <penguin42> x64: It makes it a bit easier because there 3 or so different ways debian packages manage there patches, and I think it deals with all of them
[15:46] <penguin42> x64: Well, do you have an actual patch file?
[15:47] <x64> i just branched ftpcopy and have got a tar.gz file and a folder named debian
[15:50] <penguin42> it seems to be a bit of an odd package
[15:51] <penguin42> x64: That might not be a good one to start on, the package looks rather...odd
[15:51] <penguin42> (It seems to be using a different patching scheme from almost precisely everything else)
[15:52] <x64> that's surely not a good news
[15:56] <penguin42> actually I'll remove bitesize off it for that reason
