Jeff_Mitchell_XuI'm running Xubuntu beta 2, and I joined launchpad. It says: "no open bugs". What am I meant to do?00:22
=== Jeff_Mitchell_Xu is now known as jeff_xubuntu
brainwashjeff_xubuntu: hey, where exactly does it say "no open bugs"?00:28
jeff_xubuntuhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-testers00:29
jeff_xubuntuThen click the "bugs" tab. Don't tell me I'm in the wrong place lol I'm such a noob even though I've used linux for six years.00:30

knomejeff_xubuntu, what are you looking for?00:33
brainwashbut this list of bugs isn't that helpful right now00:33
brainwashplease take a look at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-bugs00:33
jeff_xubuntuthanks!00:33
knomeor a list of bugs reported against the beta2 in the ISO tracker00:33
knomejeff_xubuntu, are you looking at ISO testing, or package testing, or something different?00:55
jeff_xubuntuISO testing, I'm running Xubuntu beta 2 right now00:55
knomeok,00:55
knomeso the ISO testing basically means you would need to *install* a system00:55
knomethe reports are sent to this tracker: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/00:55
knomehttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/313/builds00:56
knomethat's the URL for beta 2 builds00:56
jeff_xubuntuI think I should refer to the Ubuntu testing documentation. I looked through the Xubuntu website and didn't find anything, then I though, oh right, all the documentation is on the Ubuntu website, not Xubuntu website.00:56
jeff_xubuntu*thought00:56
knomelet me see...00:56
knomeright... the website can be a bit ambiguous00:57
jeff_xubuntuah I see http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/306/builds/55995/testcases00:57
knomeyes.. that's the packages tracker00:57
jeff_xubuntuRistretto has heaps of bugs I'll look at that. I think I'll cook some food first... back later00:58

bluesabre0Unit193: still have two dvd drives?02:17
Unit193bluesabre0: Never did.02:17
bluesabre0oh, I thought you had filed some bug regarding that02:17
bluesabre0nvm then :)02:17
Unit193No, I did file the bug though.02:19

bluesabre0tricksy ukikies02:20
bluesabre0this commit may fix that too02:22
bluesabre0at least partially02:22
Unit193I no longer even have /dev/dvd2, just /dev/cdrom which is a symlink to /dev/sr0, which is a DVD drive.02:22
bluesabre0I'll do some testing later with an external drive, but I'm happy to have one thing seemingly resolved02:25
Unit193Soo, that commit looks a tad hacky, is it actully?02:26
bluesabre0sort of02:30
bluesabre0:)02:30
bluesabre0before, it was using "dvd:/"02:30
bluesabre0which auto-detects the device based on the URI02:31
bluesabre0now it uses "dvd:///dev/sr0" or whatever the unix device is02:31
bluesabre0tested several variations with parole and vlc to figure out what is accepted02:32
bluesabre0the previous thing only worked with /dev/dvd0 or something along those lines02:33
bluesabre0which caused other issues when that path went away02:33

elfyis whiskermenu supposed to stay alphabetical - adding apps - they just get put to the end of  the list they end up in 09:19
bluesabre0elfy: for it to not be alphabetical, enable the setting "Show menu hierarchy" in the whisker settigs09:51
elfyaah cool 09:54
ochosibluesabre0: what did you think about making xfce4-powerman aware of the session setting?10:22
ochosijust to keep those two in sync10:22
ochosieither let them use the same xfconf-key10:22
ochosi(the one of session, i suppose)10:22
ochosior just patch xfce4-powerman to check that setting and stay in sync10:23
ochosithen obviously light-locker-settings would also need a patch to stay in sync10:23
ochosi(the lid-lock behavior is obviously another level of complexity, but the user will have to handle that)10:23
bluesabre0ochosi: yeah, that sounds ideal10:30
ochosiit shouldn't be too hard to code that, just means adding a check for another xfconf key10:31
ochosialthough i dunno what should happen if the key in -session doesn't exist yet (should it be created then? or do we have to check whether xfce4-session is in use/installed?)10:32
CyborgCygnusbluesabre0, elfy, sweet I was wondering why I had to drag & drop the apps in the order I wanted, rather than have like an alphabetical order.10:38
bluesabre0yeah, there's a bit of implementation we'll need to consider10:39
bluesabre0CyborgCygnus, glad I could help :)10:39
CyborgCygnusbluesabre0, except nothing really happens when I turn it on or off, nothing re orders it self. I'll just remember for when the stable release comes out as I suspect it will run better than this install I have going.10:40
bluesabre0yeah, there might be some old configs, or it might need to be refreshed or something10:41
bluesabre0I'll check into that10:41
CyborgCygnusbluesabre0, I've been updating almost daily from the alpha, I noticed the other day when I chucked a daily image on a usb & ran it live that it had a noticeable amount of differences in it, stuff ran better.10:44
bluesabre0ah10:44
bluesabre0if you're updating and want to check some new things without changing your current settings, you can probably log into the guest session to see what's what10:45
CyborgCygnusI stuffed my install up anyway, I had it on the first partition of a drive, deleted two other o/s's off using gparted & updated the grub, now it boots real sluggish & comes up with errors, I just ignore it cause I know I'll never be able to fix it. I just play with this as it is & am waiting for stable release.10:45
CyborgCygnusbluesabre0, ah okay, good idea. I have no idea how to refresh configs etc, someone told me before how to do it for the saved startup sessions but I can't remember things when I only use them once.10:46
starratsHelp, was just on launchpad.net to report a bug, brainwash recommended me to do this but I cannot find on that site where to report a bug.10:52
slickymasterWorkstarrats: against what package do you want to fil the bug?10:54
knomelderan, tell me if you need help/feedback or anything regarding bots, and i can then join #ubuntu-bots if needed10:56
starratsthe bug I want to report is that mu cursor/pointer freezes up at the logon/password screen at start-up.  I have reported this same bug numerous times and have trid things that brainwash has suggested all have failed.10:59
starratstrid - tried11:00
knomerather than file it numerous times, please expand the original bug report...11:00
CyborgCygnusstarrats, Install a daily image over your current?11:01
CyborgCygnusstarrats, I have problems with my Alpha 14.04 that I've updated to the daily, I worked out a fresh image fixes that.11:02
starratsdaily image?  expand the bug report?  first one I don't understand and the second one I have expanded the original report 11:06
elfyreinstall with a new daily 11:07
knomestarrats, first one refers to the latest daily image, or in this case, the beta2 image; new images are built every day except during milestones11:07
knomestarrats, latter: good (that's not you said though)11:07
elfymorning knome 11:09
slickymasterWorkmorning knome 11:10
knomeeverything in order in QA and docs?11:11
starratsknome I have told everything to brainwash after I filed a ubuntu-bug report on term and that's when he told me to try a couple of things, that did not work and then he suggested for me to go to #ubuntu+1 channel and tell them my problems, got very little help there, told that to brainwash and he told me to report the bug on launchpad.  I tied to this morning and I could not find the where to report11:11
starratsthis bug.11:11
knomestarrats, right, then wait patiently11:12
knomestarrats, there's not much else we have to give you except one of our bug triagers helping you11:12
knome"we have" meaning, there isn't much more things we can do to help you11:12
knomeif others are unable to reproduce the issue, it's even harder to get anything fixed11:13
starratsI have been very patient with everyone, I thought I had this freezing thing defeated per se because i had days with out this problem and now the last three days it has reared it's ugly little head again.11:13
knomeso what is the original bug number?11:14
starratsI have a toshiba laptop running a dual partition with windows 7 and xubuntu 14.04 11:15
starratswill try to find the orig. bug report.11:15
starratsI could not locate original bug report# but here's the Question# 245333 sent to me by Manfred Hampl concerning this problem which was on 3/12/201411:32
elfystarrats: just go to your LP page - then click bugs - then you'll see bugs you've done something to11:35
elfyin the top right there are options to specify - pick reported 11:35
starratsokay11:36
starratsCould not locate my report because I believe it was an additional comment on the question I said above, but there was a sdimilar one on 12.04 version about the same issue I'm having now.11:45
elfyno idea then 11:46
elfyand have you tried using a different mouse? 11:46
elfytbh - I would just reinstall with a new daily and be done with it11:46
starratsI did try to file a ubuntu-bug report from term but I did not have output of problem I just typed ubuntu-but and clicked on theXorg box and went from there.11:47
starratsI will do the same if necessary 11:47
elfyand as people have said if they can't replicate it - or it is in fact something to do with your hardware it will just sit there11:48
starratswell I don't know how to change my hardware 11:49
starratsso I just take it that this is irrepairable?11:50
starratsleft in the dark on it11:50
elfyyou don't know how to change a mouse? or is it a laptop?11:51
starratsa laptop 11:56
elfyso I would download a new image and reinstall then 11:56
starratsbeginning of the month will buy a usb mouse, the one I have doesn't work, tried numerous times11:57
starratsa new image = a new dvd of Trusty Tahr?11:58
elfyyep11:59
starratsokay one question I have on this, are all the updates/upgrades/dist-upgrades be on this new download of the image or would i have to do all that i have done all over again?12:01
elfyno - you wouldn't be downloading all the updates again 12:01
starratsor should I say will the new image have that from all the work you folks have done to truty tahr12:02
elfyit will be as up to date as it can be12:02
starratsokay I will download and burn a new image of trusty tahr12:02
starratsand re-install12:02
starratsah ok12:03

elfyI did 13:13
starratsand good morning to you again13:13
elfy:)13:14
starratsokay got my fingers crossed that this will work all the time but 2 times with a windows update between I feel confident13:14
elfyit couldn't have been reinstalling xubuntu-desktop unless something else got reinstalled at the same time though 13:15
starratswell the output from term if I can remember right was words to the effect that xubuntu desktop 2.179 installed13:18
elfymmm 13:18
starratsI could run the command again, don't know if it would do anything  or ?13:18
elfyjust wait and see :)13:19
starratswill do13:20
starrats:)13:20
starratselfy I was going to download.burn a new image as we chatted about earlier but after all the windows & updates were done and I had a chance to restart before putting my pw for windows, itook a chance and restarted and went to the xubuntu line and on the frozen cursor was free the second time so right now I'm back here and feelinng a little better13:23
elfyoh hang on 13:31
elfydo you get this issue at the grub screen? 13:31
elfyhttp://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_new_2/grub2-dual-boot-in-grub2.png13:32
knomeelfy, any tests you'd like me to run?16:13
elfyif you could do some 64bit that would be awesome - and possibly a cli upgrade or two? 16:14
knomemeh, :)16:14
elfy:)16:14
knomei mean, i can do upgrades, but they are clean upgrades then16:14
elfyyea I know 16:14
knomei can at least take some of the 64-bit16:14
elfyI'm in the same position16:14
knomewho wouldn't...16:15
knomei can take at least any two of the 64bit ones16:15
elfyI'll be able to do some hardware 64bit later - what I won't be doing there is the entire disk 16:15
knomeplus the post-install one16:15
knomeokay, i'll do that at least then16:15
knomei can also do auto-resize16:16
elfyhow about entire and that one :p16:16
knomeif you prefer manual partitioning16:16
knomeyep, that works for me16:16
knomeand the post-install16:16
elfywell - I odn't want to fubar what's on the machine 16:16
knomeyeah i understand16:16
elfywe got 17 done with yesterdays image16:17
knomecool16:17
