[17:35] <Rajiv_> Would someone mind marking bug 1013856 as Triaged

[17:39] <hggdh> Rajiv_: done
[17:45] <Rajiv_> hggdh: Thanks!
[18:02] <Rajiv_> Would someone mind marking 1214027 as Triaged?
[18:02] <Rajiv_> bug 1214027
[18:02] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1214027 in shim (Ubuntu) "Blank screen when booting from installation DVD" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1214027
[18:04] <hggdh> Rajiv_: Why? I see no indication that anybody worked on the bug
[18:05] <Rajiv_> hggdh: I was going to ask about that. Which upstream project is used for the package shim? Is there even one?
[18:05] <hggdh> Rajiv_: to go to triaged, somebody must have verified the bug to be real, and must have added supporting documentation
[18:11] <hggdh> Rajiv_: looking at the source package, under debian/copyright, I see: "Upstream-Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
[18:11] <hggdh> Source: https://github.com/mjg59/shim.git
[18:14] <Rajiv_> hggdh: So what should I put in the "Project" field?
[18:17] <hggdh> Rajiv_: right now, nothing (and I am not sure shim has a project available on LP). First of all, verify the bug exists and add any documentation you can find
[21:07] <phillw> any bug masters about?
[21:08] <phillw> hggdh: TheLordOfTime ?
[21:09] <hggdh> phillw: sir?
[21:09] <phillw> hggdh: can you help me on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066435
[21:09] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1066435 in linux (Ubuntu Saucy) "powerpc: "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!"" [High,In progress]
[21:09] <TheLordOfTime> phillw, hm?
[21:10]  * TheLordOfTime is semi busy
[21:10] <phillw> the new kernel is available, but there is no way I can set the bug to be 'requires testing'.
[21:10] <hggdh> phillw: a new kernel has been published? Where?
[21:11] <phillw> for SRU's we can set a tag, for development I cannot..
[21:12] <phillw> hggdh: it came out saturday, I can pastebin up the chat I had with infinity on -release to bring you up to speed if you need?
[21:13] <hggdh> phillw: not really needed. If a kernel addressing this bug has been published (and is available for apt-get), then we can set the bug to fix committed, and ask for testing
[21:14] <hggdh> phillw: BTW, if a bug is marked in progress, there must be someone assigned to it
[21:16] <hggdh> phillw: a reference to the specific kernel version string would be very good. If there are many versions of the kernel with the fix (like Precise, Raring, Saucy), then we should open an "also affects" for each version
[21:17] <phillw> I guess the kernel team / ppc kernel team etc... but as PPC is a bit off the radar to whom should it assigned to? The PPC team run at server level, as desktop users we are simply grateful that they do fix kernel issues.
[21:18] <phillw> hggdh: this is a fix ONLY for 13.10; they took the PPC kernel 'off-line; while they fixed some things... I'll pastebin up the chat so that you know better as to how to advise me.
[21:18] <hggdh> phillw: there is no need to assign it to anybody, if the kernel is already published (and, anyway, assigning to other people is frowned upon)
[21:19] <hggdh> phillw: read it in the backlog
[21:20] <phillw> http://pastebin.com/DZ3u1t5d xxxxx is infinity, as I was sending it to a mailing list, I took his name out in case people started to directly nag him :)
[21:20] <hggdh> phillw: all that is needed is to mark fix-committed, and ask the people affected to install and test the kernel
[21:21] <phillw> hggdh: so no tag of 'needs verifying"?
[21:21] <hggdh> with a text like "a new kernel -- linux-ppc [powerpc] (saucy-proposed) [3.11.0-0.1]  is now available for testing. Please install it and report back
[21:21] <hggdh> phillw: yes, and needs-verifying
[21:21] <hggdh> saucy-needs-verifying
[21:22] <phillw> I cannot apply that tag for some reason?
[21:22] <hggdh> done
[21:22] <hggdh> but you _should_ be able to tag it
[21:23] <phillw> hggdh: nope, I went through all the options... was not available. It is for released stuff, but not for ubuntu+1 to me.
[21:24] <hggdh> do you want me to change the bug as needed?
[21:25] <phillw> hggdh: if you would be so kind. honestly, I'd do it.. but I do not have the options on ubuntu+1 that I see on released versions.
[21:25] <hggdh> no prob
[21:27] <phillw> and that is why I headed here :) I knew a bug-squad member would be able to. Thank you for taking the time to help the PPC guys get a MAJOR bug nailed. If, as it seems, infinity and ben have ridden them of that bug, it is a major step forward for them :)
[21:27] <hggdh> indeed
[21:31] <hggdh> phillw: done
[21:34] <phillw> thanks, I'm getting the email alerts now! I do not have PPC kit, but as the TL for lubuntu-QA which is also the last bastion of PPC, I did promise to follow up serious bugs etc.
[21:35] <phillw> hopefully the new kernel will help kubuntu, who also do have a PPC version in tsting :)
