bdmurraymspencer: I would just choose and modify it later if needed00:04
bdmurraymspencer: rather than hold up your work waiting for feedback00:04
mspencerThank you, that's what I'll do.00:07
bdmurraymspencer: if you have something you'd like reviewed I'd be happy to do that00:08
mspencerI'm not ready yet, I'm trying to figure out the code needed to save an apport report.00:09
mspencerIf I have questions a bug fix should work, specifically LP #657275, where should I ask?01:57

njinHallo, wich app is responsible to grab the info from Disks, or to monitor the smart parameters, and advice onscreen in case of imminent failure of the disk ?12:39
persiaudisks handles the low-level stuff.  I'm not sure about the UI.12:44
penguin42perhaps smart-notifier?12:45
persiaI don't think so: that's not included by default in any products and seems to use smartmontools as a backend rather than udisks.12:46
penguin42persia: Does udisks do it itself or does it use smartd in smartmontools?12:46
persiaI suspect there's something that subscribes to udisks DBus output and does something: I just don't know what.12:46
persiapenguin42: Sorry: missed your last comment: udisks appears to have code that communicates SMART directly.13:03
njinwell, but I've got a bug with Disks reporting the imminent failure, but nothing advicing me onscreen13:04
njinjust luck that disks was open at that time13:05
persianjin: In that case, maybe there is no default consumer providing notifications.13:06
persiaMaybe ask the desktop team for whichever flavour you use.13:06
njinok, will ask on #unity then, thanks again13:08
persianjin: Heh: yeah, they ought to have something, but if it's not ready yet, #ubuntu-desktop might have something from GNOME that can work until it's ready.13:08

mspencerWhen I'm working on a bug that involves new behavior, who do I communicate with to decide exactly how it will work?22:48
mspencerThe bug is LP #657275. Should I ask how this should work on #ubuntu-devel, on one of the developers mailing lists, or what?22:50
ubot2Launchpad bug 657275 in apport (Ubuntu) "ubuntu-bug should save reports offline automatically rather than giving a cryptic error message" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65727522:50
mspencerI've asked twice on #ubuntu-devel around this time the past couple of days and haven't gotten an answer. Is that not a good place to ask?22:51
MrSteinWhat component would be correct for a bug "ubuntu freezes when run in vmware" ?  this is about bug 107744023:48
ubot2Launchpad bug 1077440 in Ubuntu "Quantal as vmware guest hang" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/107744023:48
MrSteinkernel?23:49
penguin42hmm I think the finding-the-right package thing says for installation hangs doesn't it23:50
penguin42MrStein: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#When_installing_Ubuntu_.28or_Derivatives.2923:51
MrSteinI'll set "kernel" then. Thanks.23:51
penguin42MrStein: From that I'd say Ubiquity - I mean it's very difficult to actually say if it's kernel or vmware at fault23:51
MrSteinkernel says "too many matches" :(23:52
penguin42MrStein: 'linux' is the package for kernel stuff23:52
MrSteinis "linux-kernel" ok?23:52
penguin42erm I thought itt was just called Linux23:53
penguin42(the package that is)23:53
MrSteinThere is no package named 'linux-kernel' published in Ubuntu.23:53
penguin42hence why I said    linux23:53
MrSteinWTF? I selected it from the presented list23:53
MrSteinok, I'll put just "linux"23:53
