| alwyn | Does this channel have a public log? :) | 09:53 |
|---|---|---|
| alwyn | Wondering if my question yesterday was answered | 09:53 |
| rbasak | alwyn: irclogs.ubuntu.com | 09:57 |
| alwyn | rbasak: thank you, found it :) | 09:57 |
| alwyn | Apparently it was not answered :( | 09:57 |
| rbasak | I don't think your question is really answerable. | 09:58 |
| rbasak | Besides "because nobody has". | 09:58 |
| alwyn | Is it a lot of work to do? I might be interested in helping out, provided it doesn't take hours to read the proper procedures to do so first ~.~ | 10:00 |
| rbasak | Looks like the fix is backportable, and somebody has done it in a PPA, but nobody has replied with positive test results. Comment 15 doesn't make sense to me. | 10:05 |
| rbasak | Procedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure | 10:06 |
| rbasak | If you've not dealt with patching distribution packages before, it will take you a while to read up. | 10:06 |

| alwyn | That's more or less what I was afraid of :P I wish I had the time do read all that but unfortunately I do not. | 10:45 |
| alwyn | read+actually do it I mean | 10:46 |

| ali1234 | hi. can you please make launchpad not mark public bugs as duplicates of private ones? | 18:14 |
| ali1234 | bug 1628250 | 18:15 |
| ubot5 | Error: Launchpad bug 1628250 could not be found | 18:15 |
| ali1234 | this prevents me from getting a retrace, discussing the bug, or generally interacting with it in any way | 18:18 |
| teward | ali1234: the bug is marked private because nobody has gone through to make sure sensitive info is removed from the bug. | 18:20 |
| ali1234 | yes, i know | 18:20 |
| ali1234 | i went through *my* bug to make sure it had no private information and marked it public | 18:21 |
| ali1234 | but then apport just marked it as a duplicate of the private one | 18:21 |
| ali1234 | which is stupid | 18:21 |
| teward | ali1234: but the bug that's been marked *as* a duplicate hasn't gone through that process | 18:21 |
| teward | that's why it's still private | 18:21 |
| ali1234 | no | 18:21 |
| ali1234 | bug 1665048 | 18:21 |
| ubot5 | Error: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1665048 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1665048). The error has been logged | 18:21 |
| teward | yes, actually. (If dupe == private, originalPost is hidden) | 18:21 |
| teward | at least, in a sense. | 18:22 |
| ali1234 | it is not hidden from me | 18:22 |
| ali1234 | looks like it is hidden from the bot though | 18:22 |
| teward | ali1234: the issue is that the crash has already been reported - we don't need fifteen reports on the same crash which is why the retracer exists | 18:22 |
| ali1234 | well here's the thing | 18:22 |
| ali1234 | nobody is going to fix it until someone makes a bug report public | 18:23 |
| ali1234 | which i have just done for exactly that reason | 18:23 |
| ali1234 | but apport won't allow me to do this | 18:23 |
| ali1234 | it just tells me to discuss it on the other bug (which i can't access) | 18:23 |
| ali1234 | here is what apport should do instead: if it determines that two reports are the same bug, and one is public and the other is private, then the private one should be made a duplicate of the public one | 18:25 |
| teward | that's a #launchpad question i believe on "How to make the retracer better" | 18:26 |
| ali1234 | i can't find it :( | 18:31 |
| teward | no i'm saying that's soimething you should ask about there about how the retracer works, I don't know enough about that to answer reliably. | 18:32 |
| ali1234 | https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/237214 is the same issue | 18:32 |
| ali1234 | from 2013 | 18:32 |
| ali1234 | and https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/182866 from 2011 | 18:33 |
| ali1234 | which points to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/764414 | 18:33 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 764414 in apport (Ubuntu) "private master bugs are confusing and lead to more duplicate filings" [Wishlist,Triaged] | 18:33 |
| ali1234 | which is 6 years old and has like 25 duplicates | 18:34 |
| ali1234 | commented. i guess i'll just move on to fixing something else :/ | 18:43 |
