mfischhggdh: ping17:25
hggdhmfisch: pong17:27
mfischhggdh: I'd like to get the community more involved in helping with Nexus7 bug triage, especially filing upstream, looking for upstream duplicates, etc17:28
mfischhggdh: I've considered an email to bug squad, asking you personally for help, etc.  Ideas?17:29
hggdhmfisch: let's get balloons involved17:29
hggdhmfisch: I think email to bugsquad, bugcontrol, and ubuntu-quality would be good17:30
hggdhballoons: ^17:30
hggdhmfisch: of course, you can ask me directly (well, pretty much just did it ;-)17:32
hggdhmfisch: and I will certainly help17:32
mfischhggdh: cwayne and I spend more time than we'd like triaging rather than working on fixes17:32
ali1234how can i see a list of nexus7 bugs?18:50

ArcticLighthi there~20:10
ArcticLightI think I need help filing a bug20:11
ArcticLightubuntu-bug seems to be misbehaving on my system, and I have a crash report I want to file.20:13
ArcticLightum... is anyone here?20:15
mfischwhat is ubuntu-bug doing?20:17
PiciArcticLight: actually, there was a question asked, but you had parted right at that moment.20:31
Pici15:17:25 <mfisch> what is ubuntu-bug doing?20:32
ArcticLightHi, sorry~20:32
ArcticLightUm... It's not doing anything, that's the problem. I have a .crash file I'm trying to send, and choosing "S" for send report causes it to quit and it never opens my browser to file the report.20:33
mfischhmm20:35
mfischdoes ubuntu-bug log anywhere?  I've never seen that before20:35
ArcticLightI have no idea, but here's what it looks like in my terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1356408/20:35
ArcticLightIt hangs before "Please choose" and pressing S at the hang makes it print "please choose" and quit.20:36
mfischDumb question but do you need to hit cap S?20:36
ArcticLightTried that, same thing.20:37
ArcticLightOkay, so here's something weird. Two files just popped up in /var/crash: they have the same name, but end in ".upload" and ".uploaded", I still have nothing open in any browser, which is the usual behavior of ubuntu-bug20:39
mfischdo you need to be root to read that crash file?20:39
mfischsome of my crash files have odd permissions too, like 000020:39
ArcticLightRunning it with sudo does exactly the same thing.20:39
ArcticLighthow would I find out the file permissions?20:39
ArcticLightNever mind, and the permissions are such that I should have read access to the file without root.20:41
mfischArcticLight: can you do a ls -al20:43
mfischArcticLight: ls -al ./_usr_lib_libreoffice_program_soffice.bin.1000.crash20:43
ArcticLighthere it is:20:44
ArcticLightxyzzy@Quirlbox:/var/crash$ ls -al ./_usr_lib_libreoffice_program_soffice.bin.1000.crash20:44
ArcticLight-rw-r----- 1 xyzzy whoopsie 11809149 Nov 13 14:51 ./_usr_lib_libreoffice_program_soffice.bin.1000.crash20:44
ArcticLightany ideas what's going on?20:47
ali1234upload and uploaded means the crash files were already uploaded20:49
ArcticLightSo...... where do I finish filing the bug? because my web browser didn't open.20:49
ali1234you don't20:49
ali1234it's not possible any more20:49
ali1234ubuntu-bug sends the crash files to daisy without user interaction20:49
ali1234you can file a bug on the crashing package by "ubuntu-bug <package>" but there is no way to attach the crash dump to it20:50
ArcticLightOkay. NM then, sorry for the misunderstanding.20:51
* mfisch didn't know that20:52
ali1234well if anyone knows better i'd like to know about it20:52
ali1234i've been trying to figure out how to do it for 6 months20:52
ali1234see http://askubuntu.com/questions/150476/how-do-i-submit-a-full-bug-report-with-crash-dump-and-steps-to-reproduce20:52
ali1234you can manually attach the crash dump as a normal file and then set the bug private, but this won't result in a retrace getting done or any of the nice stuff it used to do.20:54
ali1234see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/errors/+bug/106104920:54
ubot2Launchpad bug 1061049 in Errors "We should allow users to manually input a linked bug and better present both the create and link options" [Medium,Confirmed]20:54
ArcticLightWell that's just dandy. Um... thanks for all the help guys.20:55
ArcticLightAlso, wouldn't it be useful if the ubuntu help page for reporting bugs mentioned this behavior?20:56
ali1234yeah, it's out of date i guess20:56
ArcticLightWell thanks for the help, sorry for the misunderstanding.20:56
ArcticLightMaybe it would be a good idea for ubuntu-bug to say it's done uploading? Because when it just quit I thought I had broken it.20:57
ali1234well it doesn't wait for the upload to finish - it backgrouds it20:57
ali1234the upload will restart if it doesn't complete20:58
ali1234which is fun when it tries to upload a 2GB core dump20:58
ali1234over and over and over again20:58
ArcticLightOkay, then say it is uploading, or at least something, rather than just quitting. in my experience having any terminal program just "quit" after a selection makes me think it crashed.20:58
ali1234sure. not many people will see the terminal stuff though20:59
ali1234normally you just get the apport popup20:59
ali1234you are right of course20:59
ArcticLightI installed and enabled apport, and I still don't get the popup when things go wrong. I have to use ubuntu-bug from the terminal20:59
ali1234you should get the "problem report" thing21:00
ali1234it looks like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/iwyYZ.png21:01
ArcticLightNope. Just silent crashes. At the most useful I get a popup from the application itself saying it crashed. Apport doesn't seem to intervene.21:01
ArcticLightIt did on 12.04 but not on 12.10 when I upgraded. I thought this behavior had been changed~21:02
ali1234it shouldn't have21:02
ArcticLightThat's weird then.21:02
ArcticLightMy whole system has been a bit off since the upgrade to 12.10 ... I figured it was because of normal development changes, but I guess this isn't supposed to be the case?21:03
ArcticLightwell, more problems to track down then.21:05
ArcticLightAt this point, with all the little issues I've been having, I'm considering doing a fresh install back to 12.04 instead of running 12.1021:06
ArcticLightWhich is sad, because I actually like a lot of the new features of 12.1021:07
ArcticLightanyway, thanks for the help with the bug reporter.21:07
