[23:08] <touil76> Hello. I would like to say that I found a bug with my video driver and that it has been solved applying a patch to the source of the driver.
[23:09] <touil76> The bug is here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1577170
[23:09] <touil76> My last comment is the patch to apply.
[23:09] <touil76> I would like to know what to do now, so that ubuntu would "correct" the package for others.
[23:12] <hggdh> touil76: where did the patch come from? You posted a debian link in the bug, is it from debian?
[23:13] <hggdh> touil76: reason is we very much like to check provenance
[23:13] <touil76> Ok. The patch came from the guys at the #radeon irc channel.
[23:14] <touil76> I asked for help and they had a patch they wanted me to try.
[23:14] <touil76> Is it ok ?
[23:17] <hggdh> not sure, I will leave it for the actual maintainers. Did you report your results to the #radeon folks?
[23:17] <touil76> Yes I did.
[23:18] <touil76> What can I do so that the problem is taken care of ?
[23:18] <hggdh> can you ask them for the commit, or a debian bug# with the patch (I am assuming it is from debian, given your link)
[23:19] <hggdh> then add it to the bug. It will help a lot
[23:22] <touil76> It seems that no one has been assigned to my bug on bugs.launchpad.net.
[23:22] <touil76> Is it normal ?
[23:25] <hggdh> yes, not abnormal at all. Too many bugs, too few people working on them
[23:26] <touil76> Do I have to warn someone about it ?
[23:27] <hggdh> not really. Finding, from the #radeon folks, if there is a debian bug opened against it might help; optionally, the commit upstream
[23:28] <touil76> When I add a comment on my bug, are the people who can take care of it warned ?
