| gf2 | Hi. I solved a bug! I found a workaround in another bug report and had the reporter try it. It worked. So, what status do I put for this bug? | 20:27 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | gf2: Confirmeed. | 20:30 |
| tsimonq2 | *Confirmed | 20:30 |
| tsimonq2 | I'm curious though, which bug? | 20:30 |
| gf2 | Hi, here is the bug. | 20:31 |
| gf2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1770587 | 20:31 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1770587 in thunderbird (Ubuntu) "creation of new email account impossible in thunderbird" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 20:31 |
| gf2 | Confirmed doesn't close it though. I thought "invalid"? | 20:31 |
| tsimonq2 | hmm | 20:32 |
| tsimonq2 | Looking. | 20:33 |
| tsimonq2 | Right, invalid is correct. Thanks gf2. | 20:33 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: Have you considered becoming a member of Bug Control, by the way? | 20:33 |
| gf2 | I'd love to be a member of the Bug Control. I am still just new to this. I started bug triage at the end of June and thought I would try to clear up the old bugs. I have addressed about 1000 old bugs so far. :) It's kinda fun. But I am still learning, I must say. | 20:35 |
| gf2 | This is my first "solve" :) | 20:35 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: Feel free to get an IRC bouncer (if you don't have one) and idle here. :) | 20:39 |
| tsimonq2 | Thanks for your work! | 20:39 |
| gf2 | Sorry, tsimonq2, I don't know that the IRC bouncer is? | 20:40 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: Ah, no problem. :) I'd just make sure you're always here. | 20:41 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: An IRC bouncer is a piece of software which sits on a server that's always up, and instead of connecting to the IRC server directly, you connect to the bouncer and it bounces everything to/from the IRC server and your client. | 20:42 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software) | 20:43 |
| gf2 | Thanks for the info, tsimonq2. I am currently using Pidgin. I am not always on line. I work full time and am only able to address bugs in my spare time. How would the bouncer help? | 20:45 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: If someone has an important message for you, instead of trying to catch you when you're online, they can just ping you, and you'll get the message when you're online next. | 20:46 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: The majority of Ubuntu contributors do it; for example, you can ping me at any time. :) | 20:46 |
| gf2 | oh! that is interesting. OK, I will explore that software. Thanks for the tip. :) | 20:47 |
| gf2 | :) how do I become a member of bug control? | 20:47 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: Here is some documentation on it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl | 20:48 |
| gf2 | ok, good! Thanks tsimonq2! | 20:48 |
| tsimonq2 | No problem gf2, let me know if you have any more questions. :_) | 20:49 |
| tsimonq2 | *:) | 20:49 |
| gf2 | Super! I will. :) | 20:49 |
| gf2 | Hi again, tsimonq2. Which BNC software do you use? | 21:05 |
| tsimonq2 | gf2: I personally SSH to a server I have and use irssi under tmux, but I typically recommend https://www.panicbnc.net/ which I've used before. | 21:08 |
| gf2 | Great! Thanks again for your help, tsimonq2! :) | 21:09 |
| tsimonq2 | No problem. :) | 21:09 |
