[02:42] <garyseven> question about reporting bugs
[02:43] <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?
[02:45] <garyseven> well. ok then.
[02:46] <garyseven> i'm gonna peace and think about this some more.

[06:34] <chilicuil> mitya57: where I can find someone who have them?, I'm reading the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and it pointed me here
[06:40] <mitya57> maybe here, but today is Saturday so there are few people here
[06:42] <chilicuil> oh yep, I forgot it, it's still friday here, I'll try later, thanks for the information

[16:14] <penguin42> ok, it looks like a trivial fix; albeit it to a dead project
[16:45] <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

[20:23] <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] <penguin42> hggdh: No problem, I wasn't really sure where it should go
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <penguin42> hggdh: So what's lts-quantal?
[20:25] <hggdh> oh-oh indeed
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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?
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <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
[20:36] <penguin42> there are a depressing number of replica watch adverts on lp
[20:36] <hggdh> heh
[20:37] <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
[20:39] <penguin42> yeh, or possibly some of the people who are subscribed
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <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
