| TheLordOfTime | (also hi) | 17:11 |
| hggdh | TheLordOfTime: trying to run a program in the wrong window | 18:20 |
| hggdh | :-) | 18:20 |
| balloons | hggdh, TheLordOfTime thoughts? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1212356 | 22:07 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1212356 in Ubuntu "Ubuntu is hostile to bugs from regular users" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 22:07 |
| balloons | I plan to edit the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs, but I don't want to do so in the dark of the bugsquad. | 22:07 |
| micahg | balloons: the reason that was done is a large portion of bugs were coming in without enough information to process | 22:11 |
| micahg | balloons: reading a wiki page isn't a high cost to submit a bug | 22:11 |
| balloons | micahg, I get the reasons, and I agree having the page isn't a high cost. We can always improve the language and flow of the page, and thus I wanted to open it up to get your thoughts | 22:14 |
| micahg | ah, ok | 22:14 |
| balloons | I'm constantly doing the same on our wiki.. trying to not scare anyone off by having too technical descriptions up front, etc :-) | 22:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | balloons, *looks now* | 22:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | balloons, i agree with micahg on his assessment, but I also see a flaw in how ubuntu-bug operates - for crash bugs it requires or rather suggests the full use of a GUI browser when reporting things such as crash bugs. Also with other bug issues as well, I see things like this, mainly with Debian BTS people going insane trying to loop their heads around the Launchpad BTS | 22:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | balloons, but as it stands i think we could revise the ReportingABug stuff to some extent, but generally speaking i don't agree with the bug as is filed | 22:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | micahg, can Launchpad set a temporary forced-silence from a registered user on bugs? | 22:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | the guy in question who filed that bug is acting exceptionally hostile towards commenters | 22:42 |
| micahg | TheLordOfTime: the account can be locked if the user isn't behaving | 22:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | ah i misread his statements | 22:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | stupid small font | 22:43 |
| * TheLordOfTime hates his netbook | 22:43 | |
| micahg | TheLordOfTime: yeah, looks like he's being ok now | 22:44 |
| balloons | his title is strong eh? | 22:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | balloons, i think the title could be revised to something like "Ubuntu Bug Filing is not extremely user-friendly." | 22:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | but again I'm not a dev and I started with Ubuntu so i find the bug filing system to be sufficient | 22:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 22:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | whereas debian people find it to be insane | 22:45 |
| balloons | alright, feel free to pm me or leave comments here or email. I'm going to try tackling the page tomorrow and see if I can see if anything can be improved | 22:45 |
| balloons | I changed the bug title | 22:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | balloons, ack. | 22:46 |
| balloons | dinner time.. thanks to you all for the thoughts | 22:46 |
| balloons | we'll chat again once I've made some edits I'm sure ;-) | 22:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | i'm going to go zombie killing on an xbox, because I'm too frustrated with my laptop to do much today | 22:47 |
| phillw | Hi, could a bug admin please put https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/738305 out of its misery as support has ceased for 11.04, thanks :) | 23:44 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 738305 in pcmanfm (Ubuntu) "PCManFM Crashed When Accessing a Removable Drive" [Medium,In progress] | 23:44 |
| jtaylor | phillw: is it fixed? | 23:46 |
| jtaylor | phillw: you yourself marked it in progress, so you should be able to close it | 23:47 |
| phillw | Since 0.9, to the current 1.1 there has been many bugs fixed. I've not seen it repeated. jtaylor all I can do is mark it as invalid. Is that the correct answer to close it? | 23:48 |
| phillw | I thought the grim reaper of the bug bot quietly murdered inactive bugs :P | 23:49 |
| phillw | jtaylor: I assume that marking invalid with comment https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Release_has_reached_EOL is the correct way to do this manually? | 23:53 |
