alwynDoes this channel have a public log? :)09:53
alwynWondering if my question yesterday was answered09:53
rbasakalwyn: irclogs.ubuntu.com09:57
alwynrbasak: thank you, found it :)09:57
alwynApparently it was not answered :(09:57
rbasakI don't think your question is really answerable.09:58
rbasakBesides "because nobody has".09:58
alwynIs 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
rbasakLooks 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
rbasakProcedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure10:06
rbasakIf you've not dealt with patching distribution packages before, it will take you a while to read up.10:06

ali1234hi. can you please make launchpad not mark public bugs as duplicates of private ones?18:14
ali1234bug 162825018:15
ubot5Error: Launchpad bug 1628250 could not be found18:15
ali1234this prevents me from getting a retrace, discussing the bug, or generally interacting with it in any way18:18
tewardali1234: the bug is marked private because nobody has gone through to make sure sensitive info is removed from the bug.18:20
ali1234yes, i know18:20
ali1234i went through *my* bug to make sure it had no private information and marked it public18:21
ali1234but then apport just marked it as a duplicate of the private one18:21
ali1234which is stupid18:21
tewardali1234: but the bug that's been marked *as* a duplicate hasn't gone through that process18:21
tewardthat's why it's still private18:21
ali1234no18:21
ali1234bug 166504818:21
ubot5Error: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1665048 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1665048). The error has been logged18:21
tewardyes, actually.  (If dupe == private, originalPost is hidden)18:21
tewardat least, in a sense.18:22
ali1234it is not hidden from me18:22
ali1234looks like it is hidden from the bot though18:22
tewardali1234: 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 exists18:22
ali1234well here's the thing18:22
ali1234nobody is going to fix it until someone makes a bug report public18:23
ali1234which i have just done for exactly that reason18:23
ali1234but apport won't allow me to do this18:23
ali1234it just tells me to discuss it on the other bug (which i can't access)18:23
ali1234here 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 one18:25
tewardthat's a #launchpad question i believe on "How to make the retracer better"18:26
ali1234i can't find it :(18:31
tewardno 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
ali1234https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/237214 is the same issue18:32
ali1234from 201318:32
ali1234and https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/182866 from 201118:33
ali1234which points to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/76441418:33
ubot5Ubuntu bug 764414 in apport (Ubuntu) "private master bugs are confusing and lead to more duplicate filings" [Wishlist,Triaged]18:33
ali1234which is 6 years old and has like 25 duplicates18:34
ali1234commented. i guess i'll just move on to fixing something else :/18:43
