[00:04] <phillw> hi, I'd like a bit of assistance as to where to file a bug against.
[00:12] <micahg> phillw: that's what the channel is here for :)
[00:13] <phillw> I seem to have http://www.codewhirl.com/2012/03/ubuntu-fail-to-login-after-upgrade-to-u12-04-lts-precise-pangolin/ in Quantal.
[00:14] <micahg> Bug #1036830 ?
[00:14] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1036830 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Can't log in unless remove .Xauthority or use gdm" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1036830
[00:16] <phillw> micahg: that could well be the one...
[00:17] <phillw> AHHH..... now I see.... it's the ~/.Xauthority.
[00:18] <phillw> micahg: So, basically, anyone upgrading who has a separate /home is going to get bitten?
[00:19] <micahg> idk
[00:19]  * micahg had no problem
[00:19] <phillw> Mine was a clean 12.10 install, maybe upgrade goes okay.
[00:19] <micahg> oh?  that sounds even worse :()
[00:20] <phillw> I have /home on a separate partition. keeps it slightly safe when 'playing'.
[00:20] <micahg> oh, so clean install, but old /home
[00:21] <phillw> But, yes, I do recall having to reset .Xauth a cycle, or two, back....
[00:21] <phillw> micahg: indeed... there is no place like 127.0.0.1
[00:22] <micahg> hehe
[00:23] <phillw> Reet, thanks, I can now go dig out the instructions to reset the .Xauth and it should, if behaves like last year (or 18 months ago), just work.
[00:25] <phillw> I'll write it up to a FAQ for the release area, so as you people can point them to it until they actually fix the bug :P
[00:26] <micahg> phillw: who is that file owned by?
[00:28] <phillw> micahg: let me just get ssh into it
[00:32] <phillw> micahg: it is owned by 1000
[00:32] <micahg> phillw: hrm , who's 1000 on your system?
[00:33] <phillw> no one, that is why it states the number and not a user.
[00:33] <micahg> there's your problem :)
[00:33] <micahg> if you're using an old /home, you might have to do that type of cleanup
[00:34] <micahg> although, I still have no idea why you'd get a user installed by default not at 1000
[00:36] <phillw> let me go mount / and have a look at the passwd file
[00:38] <phillw> hmm, there is no user 1000#
[00:39] <phillw> micahg: hang on a mo.... when did ubuntu change the root / admin stuff?
[00:40] <phillw> as in dropping user 'root'
[00:40] <micahg> well, root's not enabled by default
[00:46] <phillw> micahg: it was droppeda couple of cycles ago... I'm mad at myself for forgetting that it was mentioned that an 'upgrade' could cope, but as this was a re-install it had no idea what was going on & played my the 'new' rules.

[00:48] <phillw> I've slept since then, that is the problem.
[00:49] <phillw> well, not problem, just what needs to be fixed on anyone facing the same issue.
[01:08] <phillw> micahg: erm, there is a problem,
[01:09] <micahg> yes?

[06:18] <ex0a> I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 (edited source list and dist-upgrade, don't know if that is different than the "ubuntu way") and the new dmraid broke grub
[06:18] <ex0a> i was unable to update-grub or grub-install
[06:19] <ex0a> eventually i ended up using a boot disk to boot the 3.5 kernel (instead of the old 3.2) and i was able to install and configure grub-pc again
[06:19] <ex0a> i haven't rebooted to check but i had 0 issues installing this time
[06:19] <ex0a> should i create a bug report for that?
[06:51] <maxb> Hi, in Quantal I seem to have lost the "Safely Remove" option from the unity launcher right click menu for devices. What package would this be reportable against?

[11:18] <Kveras> Hi. I need some advise on how to properly report a bug that has been following me for a good while now. It's probably not a bug that should be posted to the Ubuntu package, but rather upstream, since the problem is present both in Ubuntu, Arch and any other recent distribution that I have tried so far. The help I need is to figure out what package and what upstream project I should report to. The problem is that when dual booting Linux and W
[11:18] <Kveras> in 7 there are severe mouse glitches in Linux. The problem is described in greater detail here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145175/after-reboot-from-windows-mouse-click-does-not-work-properly . The problem is still present in 12.10. Can anyone have a look and help me figuring out where this bug should be posted?
[11:20] <civija> hy guys!
[11:21] <civija> Can a bug which is marked as 'fixed release' be changed again to something else?
[11:22] <civija> I was following one bug and someone marked it as 'fix released' but it isn't fixed
[11:22] <civija> a multiple users confirmed that it isn't fixed
[11:28] <mitya57> civija: bug # please.
[11:32] <civija> mitya57: #1048193
[11:33] <mitya57> civija: done
[11:33] <civija> mitya57: tnx!
[11:36] <civija> mitya57: can I ask one more question?
[11:36] <mitya57> please do
[11:37] <civija> I have another bug #1037125 and I set it to 'fix committed'

[11:37] <civija> because it is changed in kernel upstream
[11:37] <civija> and this kernel is not yet released with any ubuntu version
[11:37] <civija> is this correct?
[11:57] <yofel_> civija: not quite, the kernel team has it's own bug policies. Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Bug_Triage first before touching kernel bugs

[13:14] <emptythevoid> Could someone kindly look at this bug report and see if I've filed it against the correct package?

[13:18] <mitya57> emptythevoid, no, it should be gtk+3.0 or gtk+2.0 depending on what version of gtk is your app using
[13:18] <mitya57> by the way, I remember the same error was occuring for me, so I'll now confirm it
[13:19] <emptythevoid> That makes me feel better.  Let me see if I can figure out which one DeVeDe uses...
[13:19] <emptythevoid> Thanks mate :)
[13:20] <mitya57> I got that with gnome-screenshot which uses gtk+3.0
[13:20] <emptythevoid> Let me give that a go
[13:21] <emptythevoid> Screenshot is working okay for me, but it is the same kind of simplified save dialogue box I'm talking about
[13:22] <emptythevoid> So if a dependency says python-gtk2, then it's using gtk2, correct?
[13:23] <mitya57> emptythevoid: yes, I've already assigned that to gtk+3.0, but you can add a task using "Also affects distribution" link
[13:24] <emptythevoid> Ah, I see where you changed the package for me.  Thanks so much.  Had a hard time getting help for this.
[13:25] <emptythevoid> Thanks again. :)

[17:52] <offed> micahg, no enough information to find where the bug is !  Perhaps it is happening when computer is idle for a long time. I am not sure how i can debug (besides logs) when my system completely freeze. But i will try this time :). Should i try with new kernel from kernel.org or ubuntu repos?
