| garyseven | question about reporting bugs | 02:42 |
| garyseven | suppose i found a script that contains parts that are obviously wrong-- like someone typoed in developing it | 02:43 |
| garyseven | suppose further that i can't figure out how to excercise that code path. | 02:43 |
| garyseven | should i report it on launchpad, or just leave it alone? | 02:43 |
| garyseven | well. ok then. | 02:45 |
| garyseven | i'm gonna peace and think about this some more. | 02:46 |

| chilicuil | hi, good day, could someone can help me targeting bug #1023329 for precise & quantal? I'd like to request a SRU | 06:22 |

| mitya57 | chilicuil: nominated, nominations need to be approved by someone who has rights | 06:32 |
| chilicuil | mitya57: where I can find someone who have them?, I'm reading the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and it pointed me here | 06:34 |
| mitya57 | maybe here, but today is Saturday so there are few people here | 06:40 |
| chilicuil | oh yep, I forgot it, it's still friday here, I'll try later, thanks for the information | 06:42 |

| penguin42 | done | 14:50 |
| gnomefreak | that package looks interesting | 14:52 |

| hjd | penguin42: Just triaging. | 16:13 |
| penguin42 | ok, it looks like a trivial fix; albeit it to a dead project | 16:14 |
| penguin42 | hjd: Well I've attached a patch to the bug and a to a debian bug; not that I can get it to run much further, it refuses to open the audio device | 16:45 |

| hggdh | penguin42: thank you for the heads up on the 3.5.0-20 issues. Since you added the comment on the quantal LTS-HWE workflow bug only, I copied it to bug 1086759 (quantal Kernel SRU workflow) | 20:23 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1086759 in Kernel SRU Workflow verification-testing "linux: 3.5.0-20.31 -proposed tracker" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1086759 | 20:23 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: No problem, I wasn't really sure where it should go | 20:23 |
| hggdh | penguin42: personally, I think both are candidates... but I really appreciate the help no matter what :-) | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: Yeh it was just one of those where I noticed a bunch of them with the same oops and thought Oh-oh | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: So what's lts-quantal? | 20:25 |
| hggdh | oh-oh indeed | 20:25 |
| hggdh | penguin42: quantal LTS (or, more formally, <version> LTS-HWE) is the next-published-release on a LTS. So 'quantal-lts' means "Quantal kernel on Precise LTS) | 20:26 |
| hggdh | penguin42: this is valid from Precise on | 20:26 |
| hggdh | so, when we release Raring, there will be a Raring-LTS kernel for Precise | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: Oh ok, why does current-release-kernel on lts get run? Is that to be able to support newer hardware on LTS? | 20:27 |
| hggdh | penguin42: there are more reasons, but this is one. Another would be rolling releases (when we get there), another new capabilities (not hardware related), etc | 20:28 |
| hggdh | if I were working on a big company, I would want to stay with LTS (cost of updates, etc). Having a LTS that has the option of being kept up-to-date is a nice thing | 20:29 |
| penguin42 | nod | 20:29 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: Yeh, although moving kernel can be hard - a lot of companies have things like closed-anti virus packages that build against the kernel, and also have just figured out how to get their hardware to work on a particular distro | 20:30 |
| hggdh | penguin42: yeah. But the option is there; how feasible is it to be deployed is a much more complex question | 20:31 |
| penguin42 | nod | 20:31 |
| hggdh | even a kernel update may break userland built against a specific kernel version | 20:32 |
| penguin42 | yep | 20:32 |
| penguin42 | it shouldn't, but yes | 20:32 |
| penguin42 | there are a depressing number of replica watch adverts on lp | 20:36 |
| hggdh | heh | 20:36 |
| hggdh | fortunately I already have a real one | 20:37 |
| * penguin42 doesn't use a watch | 20:37 | |
| hggdh | and there is no way, really, to block them, most use email spoofing | 20:37 |
| * hggdh goes shopping | 20:37 | |
| penguin42 | yeh, or possibly some of the people who are subscribed | 20:39 |
| hggdh | or that. But in most cases I acted on, it was eventually shown to be spoof | 20:40 |
| penguin42 | can see them looping through bug numbers | 20:40 |
| * penguin42 goes to hunt the link to send a question to launchpad | 20:40 | |
| hggdh | then it might be worth it to open a question on answers against LP, or ping #launchpad about the email ids | 20:41 |
| penguin42 | yeh I'm just going to do the ask question | 20:41 |
| hggdh | now I really gotta go, or my wife will kill ne | 20:41 |
| hggdh | me | 20:41 |
| penguin42 | haha | 20:41 |
