[01:19] <MichaelPetch> Is there someone here that may be able to help me in escalating a bug report (severe regression in Ubuntu 14.10) for the "gnubg" package. The bug in question is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnubg/+bug/1393105
[15:37] <teward> MichaelPetch: the solution is to wait - there's a substantial sponsorship queue - yours is in the queue but you have to wait.  http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/ is the whole queue for sponsor-seeking things
[15:46] <MichaelPetch> Thank you for the response
[15:46] <MichaelPetch> I was unaware I could see the queue, thanks for the link.
[16:38] <TheBlackRussian> this is ubuntu bug right
[16:42] <TheBlackRussian> i may have a bug which i need help me?
[16:48] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: Ah hello again
[16:48] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: Have you reported it using ubuntu-bug yet?
[16:48] <TheBlackRussian> they told to come here
[16:48] <TheBlackRussian> ah penguin, we meet again
[16:48] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: You need to report the bug with ubuntu-bug
[16:48] <TheBlackRussian> i did do that
[16:49] <penguin42> ok, and what's the bug number?
[16:49] <TheBlackRussian> Bug #1393205
[16:49]  * penguin42 looks
[16:50] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: OK, so I've flipped that to the right package, now do you have the upstream bug number that ali1234 found for it yesterday?
[16:51] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: The freedesktop.org bug ?
[16:51] <TheBlackRussian> no
[16:51] <penguin42> ok, lets see if I have it in my history
[16:53] <penguin42> got it
[16:53] <TheBlackRussian> oorah
[16:54] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: So I've flipped that bug to the right package and wired the freedesktop.org bug into it
[16:54] <TheBlackRussian> so what do i do now
[16:54] <teward> wait
[16:54] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: Did you ever try building the kernel like ali1234 was suggesting yesterday?
[16:55] <TheBlackRussian> dont have a clue how to build a kernel nor what a kernel is
[16:55] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: OK, so then you need to wait; sorry we're not intel graphics devs
[16:55] <TheBlackRussian> devs?
[16:57] <penguin42> developers
[16:57] <penguin42> we can help work bugs through here
[16:58] <TheBlackRussian> :( so no intel guys here
[16:58] <penguin42> TheBlackRussian: Probably not, if you're lucky one of the Intel guys will notice that bug and help, but they're are a lot of bugs
[16:59] <TheBlackRussian> what are the chances a intel guy will notice, by that sentence i guess help is rare
[17:00] <penguin42> yeh
[17:01] <penguin42> but they do sometimes, I've had them comment on a few
[17:01] <TheBlackRussian> :( by the time i get that help i be 100 years old i guess
[17:31]  * eliasps is away: I'm away or busy, leave a message and I'll get back to you.
[19:38] <wxl> hey folks need help with bug 1273524
[19:38] <wxl> i'm not sure if lightdm's guest session or lxsession is to blame (or both)
[20:55] <MichaelPetch> While I am here. This bug may be duplicated somewhere else(i didn't see it, sorry if it is a dup). It is related to mysql-workbench. Originally the bug was from 2013: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-workbench/+bug/1155571  and was changed to "fixed". Since then in the past week or so may people have reported *similar* issues (even appeared on Stack Overflow). Should a new bug be created? Or should this be re
[20:57] <MichaelPetch> It is a medium priority issue IMHO (but it is affecting many people). The EER diagram editor basically becomes useless (see this bug on StackOverflow for an example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26902391/the-eer-diagram-editor-is-not-displaying-column-data-and-other-information/26934118#26934118 )
[23:48] <teward> MichaelPetch: it also is a Universe package - again, it's community supported
[23:49] <teward> MichaelPetch: if as you say this is a regression and the prior bug is already fixed, you should create a new bug, making a note that this is Bug 1155571 but is still present - a "Fix Released" usually means it was fixed at one point, but if it's also found in a newer version of the package, it could be a regression
[23:50] <teward> to that end, however, if it's in an older version, you might want to consider opening an SRU bug -
[23:50] <teward> but it seems that this is a 'regression'
[23:52] <MichaelPetch> Thanks that was me feeling on it. It definitely is a regression caused by a change with GLIB. Upstream seems to be aware of it and there was a patch (but no official source). I was tempted to create a new bug to ensure that it is captured in 14.10.
[23:52] <MichaelPetch> I was wondering if I was maybe missing a bug in the system that already captured this problem before I duplicate the bug.
[23:53] <teward> MichaelPetch: i guess I'll go poke the release team again - ultimately it's SRU-able, I believe, if you have a specific patch for it, but again, SRU decisions are up to the release team and the SRU team, not the bug control and triagers
[23:55] <MichaelPetch> I think it is enough of a regression to get a fix. Although it doesn't prevent you from using the diagram editor it definitely limits one ability to use it for modifications (which many people do). I hadn't tried the patch yet (I probably should) to see if it works.
[23:56] <MichaelPetch> Thanks for your input. Much appreciated
[23:56] <teward> MichaelPetch: open a bug, make a note in it that its a regression, go test the patch, put the SRU template in, etc.
[23:57] <teward> either way I'd open a bug for the regression - it looks like the glib changes are going to make quite a few regressions
[23:58] <teward> don't expect expediency though - and also keep in mind 'criticality' of a bug is dependent on the bug importances in the triage guide - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20importances details the importance classifications we use
[23:58] <teward> ultimately bug control members have to set the importance, but still
[23:58] <teward> MichaelPetch: and I apologize for the late late response almost 3 hours later... side effect of being busy :P
[23:59] <MichaelPetch> Agreed. I'm an upstream maintainer where a glib regression broke our product in 14.10 and I'm currently trying to get that going as an SRU. It was just coincidental that I happened to answer a StackOverflow that seems to be related to yet another glib regression. And I would probbaly expect there are many projects that may be broken(or partially) and it may not have been discovered.
