[06:50] <food> Hello
[06:51] <food> I am having same problem like http://askubuntu.com/questions/203465/ubuntu-12-04-12-10-keeps-on-freezing I need some help for preventing this kind of issue.
[06:52] <food> My Ubuntu all windows , panel get ugly if it is continuing for more than 12 hours
[06:54] <food> I installed KDE and removed compize some other Gnome application, xorg is perhaps up to date. Even i upgraded the Kernel to 3.4 . Still i am having this problem
[06:54] <food> If it freezes then i can't click on any menu , So hard reboot(power button).
[06:55] <food> Is it Graphics card problem or Kernel problem ?

[18:27] <yofel> that was the last change
[18:29] <penguin42> ah I see that - yes, thanks
[22:21] <mspencer> I'm new to bug fixing and want to fix a bug reported for 12.10, which version of the package (12.10 or 13.04) do I work on?
[22:29] <maxb> It is generally very much preferred to fix bugs in the development release first
[22:30] <maxb> Unless of course the bug only appears in a stable release
[22:30] <mspencer> maxb: how do I upgrade to the development release?
[22:30] <maxb> Of course, you may choose to do most of the investigation and fixing on the latest stable release first
[22:32] <maxb> It's generally not a good idea to run the development release on a machine you actually need to work on, especially this early in the development cycle
[22:32] <mspencer> maxb: can I upload the version for 12.10 for reviewing or does it need to be the latest version of the package (for 13.04)?
[22:33] <maxb> Well, you can certainly ask for comments on either, but you'll need to target 13.04 for actually getting the fix into Ubuntu initially
[22:34] <maxb> Once that's out of the way you can read about the Stable Release Updates process and pursue geting the fix into updates for older releases
[22:35] <maxb> It depends on the kind of package you're working on, but people would probably use chroots or VMs or an additional installation set up to dual-boot for work on raring
[22:35] <mspencer> maxb: how do I build the version for 13.04 using pbuild-dist? I can't create a build environment for raring.
[22:36] <maxb> I've never used pbuilder-dist, I ended up crafting my own .pbuilderrc for that sort of thing
[22:36] <maxb> But I'll guess the reason you can't create it is because your debootstrap version is too old
[22:37] <mspencer> maxb: I'm using 12.04, would 12.10 have a new enough version?
[22:38] <maxb> Apparently not yet
[22:39] <maxb> sudo ln -s gutsy /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/raring
[22:39] <maxb> will probably be a sufficient workaround until an actual backport package of 1.0.43 is done
[22:40] <maxb> But anyway, what's the package?
[22:41] <mspencer> maxb: software-properties, bug LP #1058059
[22:41] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1058059 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "Menus are misaligned: "When there are other updates" and "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version"" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1058059
[22:42] <maxb> Personally I'd see whether the bug reproduces in quantal, fix it there, and then once the fix is proven just double-check the fix works in raring too before submitting it
[22:43] <mspencer> I've tested it in precise, and am still working on getting the package into my quantal  vm.
[22:44] <mspencer> how would I test the fix in raring? I can't figure out how to upgrade to raring.
[22:45] <mspencer> update-manager -d in 12.10 says there are no new versions.
[22:50] <mspencer> since the bug also occurs in precise, would I need to change the bug report (such as tagging it with precise) to show this?
