[02:12] <stahlie> hello everyone...   I was following the instruction on launchpad  and  tried to make install kqrcode....got error on it
[02:12] <stahlie> missing header file ...not sure how to resolve that
[02:17] <stahlie> hmm...nobody is talking here
[02:19] <EvilResistance> yeah it sometimes gets quiet here
[09:26] <astraljava> stahlie: If you need a certain header file, it is usually provided by a certain -dev package, which you need to add as a build dependency.
[09:27] <astraljava> stahlie: Without more details, it is hard to say anything further.
[17:22] <achiang> i recently uploaded a brand new package in debian, and it landed in testing a few days ago. how long should i wait before i expect it to show up in ubuntu?
[17:22] <achiang> in precise, that is
[17:22] <Laney> hopefully a new-source run will be done before DIF
[17:23] <achiang> Laney: thanks
[17:24] <Zhenech_> whe? Debian import freeze is already on the 12th? dang
[17:39] <pdtpatrick> Question .. im trying to make a package and i've created a <package>.install file and a tmp/ which holds files and directories I want created. However I always get an error on debuild with regards to copying the folders. What's the best method to achieve this?
[17:40] <jtaylor> pdtpatrick: whats the error?
[17:42] <pdtpatrick> rm: cannot remove debian/tmp/directory/filename: Permission denied .. dh_clean rm -rf debian/tmp returned exit code 1
[17:42] <jtaylor> have you run debuild with root rights once?
[17:43] <pdtpatrick> i thought you just run debuild -S -sa without root permissions ? should i use sudo debuild -S -sa? won't lintian complain?
[17:44] <jtaylor> you should run it without
[17:44] <jtaylor> but when you don't ahve permissions then you probably ran it with root once by accident
[17:45] <pdtpatrick> in that case, do i have to start anew? or just delete the folder and ensure the folder is at least 664 to be able to traverse it?
[17:46] <jtaylor> yes try to delete it manually
[18:20] <pdtpatrick> Question .. debuild keeps complaining about secret key not available (gpg) .. do i need to export it in .bashrc to avoid this? if so can someone give me an example of their setup
[18:23] <jtaylor> put DEBSIGN_KEYID=... in .devscripts
[18:23] <pdtpatrick> just create a .devscripts file in ~ and add that one line?
[18:23] <jtaylor> yes
[18:24] <jtaylor> replace ... with your keyid of course
[18:24] <pdtpatrick> hehe thanks for clarifying that :)
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> jtaylor: here's the error i keep getting now
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/ZQd5TF2qLWrNLrJJNGdk/
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> this is after debuild -S ran just fine. I then run sudo pbuilder build <file>.dsc
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> and it yells at me
[18:51] <jtaylor> why is that file in root?
[18:52] <jtaylor> debian/tmp should mirror the layout of the installation
[18:52] <jtaylor> - package splitting and files not installed
[18:53] <jtaylor> how does the .install file look like?
[18:53] <pdtpatrick> sorry I do not follow. What's the preferred method and if you can give me an example of where to put the files. Are you saying it should be in debian/tmp/tmp ? since debian/tmp == root then /tmp/tmp would actually be /tmp ?
[18:54] <pdtpatrick> let me show you the .install
[18:54] <jtaylor> yes, but why would you install something to /tmp?
[18:56] <pdtpatrick> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/ZQd5TF2qLWrNLrJJNGdk/
[18:56] <pdtpatrick> i was using tmp to test .. and if it worked then i would recreate to the proper location
[18:57] <Resistance> why can't you just make the package and put it to the proper locations, then issue updates if it doesnt work?
[18:58] <Resistance> afaict, nobody uses /tmp for testing package installs
[18:58] <pdtpatrick> In that case - I got a question. So let's say i wanted a file in /data/www/location/ .. would that mean i would put the file in debian/tmp/data/www/location/<file> ? if so do i still need the .install file?
[18:59] <jtaylor> if you have more than one binary package yes
[18:59] <jtaylor> else no
[18:59] <pdtpatrick> no to both or just the .install file? sorry i'm trying to learn the proper way of doing things
[19:00] <jtaylor> the location would be correct
[19:00] <jtaylor> though data is no FHS path
[19:00] <jtaylor> so you should not do that
[19:01] <pdtpatrick> i c
[19:01] <pdtpatrick> cool let me try this again. You guys are very helpful.
[19:01] <pdtpatrick> there should be a video for this :)
[20:25] <jtaylor> udebs should not depend on non-udebs or?
[20:31] <Ampelbein> jtaylor: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ch03.html looks to me like non-udebs are allowed as Depends.
[20:34] <jtaylor> looks like it


[07:14] <holster> hello everyone :)
[18:05] <junaidali> Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with juju 2.0 on xenial. LXDs in my setup are getting IPs from lxdbr0 bridge while it should get IP from OpenStack management network (br-ens configured).
[18:05] <junaidali> any idea what might be the issue?
[18:07] <PCdude> junaidali: I have tried openstack on xenial too, MAAS is out of beta, juju not yet. I would suggest using trusty with maas 1.9.4 and juju 1.25.6. I got it to work that way
[18:07] <PCdude> junaidali: when JUJU is out of beta u can try again and switch from then on
[18:08] <PCdude> junaidali: out of curiosity do u use dedicated machines or something like VMware ESXI for the nodes and controller?
[18:09] <junaidali> Usually we use dedicated machines but this issue is hitting on my test setup (comprised of VMs).
[18:10] <junaidali> juju 1.25 with maas 1.9 is working fine for me too.
[18:10] <junaidali> I was trying to test with maas and juju 2.0 on xenial.
[18:11] <PCdude> https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/4p3k9j/trouble_getting_lxc_networking_up_containers_not/
[18:11] <PCdude> look at that link, I had some trouble with LXC containers getting their IP addresses and it turned out to be ESXI that was the problem
[18:12] <junaidali> previously i was able to successfully do a deployment with maas 2.0rc1 but then i upgraded my setup to 2.1.0 alpha3 and this started happening
[18:12] <junaidali> thanks PCdude. let me check the link
[18:12] <PCdude> ok, but come on, using an alpha is almost asking for a problem :)
[18:13] <PCdude> junaidali: strange question, but on ur dedicated machines do u have MAAS running in a HA setup?
[18:14] <junaidali> yes but with maas 1.9.
[18:15] <junaidali> the test setup that i'm currently trying out is a single controller setup
[18:15] <PCdude> junaidali: ah ok cool! I want to do it too on 1.9, how did u do it? what tutorial did u use?
[18:15] <PCdude> is that link helpful at all?
[18:16] <PCdude> basically turn on ur promiscuous mode in  ESXI for the networks that are used by openstack, MAAS and JUJU
[18:18] <junaidali> i'm not using VMware. I created VMs with virt-manager to go for a quick test.
[18:19] <PCdude> junaidali: ah ok got it, well honestly why do u wanna use an alpha version? I mean that is so early in the process
[18:23] <junaidali> yeah, you're right. To move to new version smoothly from older ones, I'm trying out the new version. Also wanted to check the hiccups. I guess stable is not so far now.
[18:24] <junaidali> regarding the tutorial, I'm following maas.io and jujucharms.com


[00:07] <cprofitt> What 'package' is an OSD issue likely attached too?
[00:08] <BUGabundo> cprofitt: notify-osd ?
[00:08] <BUGabundo> libnotify*
[00:08] <cprofitt> thanks...
[00:10] <greg-g> notify-osd is the new one right? the one used by jaunty?
[00:11] <greg-g> so probably that?
[00:12] <BUGabundo> yes
[00:13] <cprofitt> hey greg-g
[00:15] <greg-g> hiya cprofitt
[00:16] <cprofitt> starting to file all the bugs with Jaunty
[00:17] <cprofitt> anyone up for a triage? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281732
[00:17] <greg-g> cprofitt: yeah? All of them? ;)
[00:17] <ubot4`> cprofitt: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out
[00:17] <cprofitt> All of mine anyway
[00:17] <greg-g> :)
[00:17]  * cprofitt smiles
[00:20] <greg-g> hmm, you also get the thing where pessing mute doesn't show up via xev, but changes that /acpi/blah/volume setting?
[00:20] <cprofitt> yep
[00:21] <cprofitt> trying to figure out if there is enough information in that one to mark it triaged
[00:21] <cprofitt> its been a while since I have triaged
[00:22] <greg-g> I think so, it seems to be pretty clear where the information is going, and the fact that it doesn't show up in xev is helpful.
[00:22] <greg-g> have you done any upstream kernel bug reporting?
[00:22] <cprofitt> yeah... jango gave a wealth of information
[00:22] <cprofitt> I have not...
[00:22] <cprofitt> I have been focused on the EDU thing and my LoCo as of late
[00:24] <greg-g> gotcha
[00:24] <greg-g> I have not sent any bugs to the upstream kernel bugzilla myself
[00:25] <greg-g> mainly because they want testing of vanilla kernels, not the ones shipped by Ubuntu, I believe (if anyone can/wants to correct me on that, please do)

[00:40] <darizzle> that was happening on my dell 640m
[00:40] <darizzle> but it seems to have fixed itself
[00:40] <cprofitt> bdmurray, jango seems to have given us all the information...
[00:53] <bdmurray> cprofitt: I'd ping slangasek about it since he did some hotkey work during Jaunty
[00:53] <cprofitt> bdmurray, does he hang here?
[00:54] <cprofitt> bdmurray, I have an issue with my Lenovo that I do not know how to start on...
[00:54] <cprofitt> it just goes to a black screen when I tell it to shut down...

[00:55] <james_w> cprofitt: please ensure that you have gathered all of the information from there, and then it should be easy for him to see the affected component
[00:56] <cprofitt> james_w, I believe that was done in the report already
[00:56] <james_w> ah, it's already on there, good
[00:56] <cprofitt> yeah... Jango added a lot of information
[00:57] <james_w> looks like the bug is in the right place then
[00:57] <cprofitt> james_w, that is what I was thinking...

[00:59] <darizzle> can only some people set the status of a bug to triaged?
[00:59] <hggdh> darizzle, yes. Triaged and wishlist are reserved for members of the bug-control group
[01:00] <hggdh> so, if you need a bug set to triaged, ask here
[01:00] <darizzle> can someone set 368896 to triaged
[01:00] <darizzle> want linkage?

[01:02] <hggdh> darizzle, done. Good work, thank you
[01:03] <hggdh> darizzle, BTW -- you *can* set the importance of a bug, though, and this is expected
[01:03] <darizzle> ah
[01:03] <darizzle> low?
[01:03] <bdmurray> hggdh: are you sure about that?
[01:03] <darizzle> i tried to
[01:03] <darizzle> it didnt give me the option
[01:03] <darizzle> let me check again
[01:04] <hggdh> bdmurray, they cannot, anymore?
[01:04] <darizzle> i don't have the ability
[01:04] <bdmurray> hggdh: As long as I can remember that's required Bug Control
[01:04] <hggdh> then perhaps I am really getting old... I thought it was possible :-(
[01:04] <hggdh> sorry, darizzle
[01:05] <darizzle> what is teh differentiation between bug-control and what i am doing?
[01:05] <darizzle> is there an organizational structure doc?
[01:05] <hggdh> bug-control has access to setting the importance and status to triaged/wishlist
[01:05] <hggdh> and this is it
[01:05] <hggdh> bug-control is also more experienced on triaging
[01:06] <hggdh> bdmurray, sorry. I guess I have been -control sol long that I do not remember the limitations anymore
[01:07] <hggdh> darizzle, there is no organisational structure doc to my knowledge, (but the wiki does provide information on what is done)
[01:07] <darizzle> are you guys using ubuntu as your main os?
[01:08] <bdmurray> hahaha
[01:08] <hggdh> I would expect yes, but not necessarily. I do.
[01:09] <hggdh> I actually have a Windows VM cuz there is a chess site I used to go that required IE
[01:10] <darizzle> i just made the full switch two weeks ago
[01:10] <darizzle> i have had an ubuntu and windows box for about two years
[01:10] <darizzle> mainly for school and business reasons
[01:10] <darizzle> but now i dont do either
[01:11] <darizzle> so im rolling straight ubuntu
[01:11] <darizzle> was a slow transformation
[01:11] <darizzle> prior to ubuntu had been rolling some redhat/slack/and centos
[01:11] <darizzle> they arent really as friendly as ubuntu
[01:12] <darizzle> pretty sweeet <3
[01:14] <hggdh> well, it is all, after all, a question of choice (or taste, some might say). I professionally work on Windows, AIX, HP/UX, Solaris, Linux, and zOS. At home it is Ubuntu for me, and MacOS/Windows for my S.O.
[02:37] <Kangarooo> OMFG one stupid bug :) I have xubuntu with 60 tabs on one window and about 30 tabs on other windows.. Xubuntu..

[03:53] <cprofitt> anyone have a procedure for reporting a shutdown bug?
[03:56] <dtchen> i generally attempt to reproduce it without usplash
[03:56] <dtchen> you'll need to edit the kernel command line in grub/lilo
[03:57] <dtchen> splash -> nosplash
[03:57] <dtchen> quiet ->
[03:57] <dtchen> (or you can just boot into recovery mode, telinit 2, then shutdown)
[03:58] <cprofitt> k... I saw the part on using no splash... after that is there anything?
[04:00] <dtchen> well, just remove quiet, and change splash to nosplash
[04:02] <dtchen> after that, it's the straightforward shutdown attempt
[04:06] <cprofitt> k
[04:06] <cprofitt> be back
[04:17] <cprofitt> dtchen, no change in behavior...
[04:17] <cprofitt> what logs, etc should I used to file a report?
[04:19] <dtchen> cprofitt: right, those changes were to get to the messages displayed on the screen during the shutdown sequence
[04:19] <cprofitt> yep
[04:19] <dtchen> cprofitt: you should add that to the bug report, and you could attach a digital photo if possible
[04:20] <cprofitt> there is no log file which records it?
[04:21] <dtchen> /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages

[05:04] <nhandler> o/
[05:06] <Stupendoussteve> I'm just looking over the hugday list. New to the BugSquad in general and don't want to mess things up :)
[05:07] <Stupendoussteve> Bug 368186 seems to have everything asked for in the Bugs/Responses for a kernel bug, and more. Is that when you would mark it as confirmed?
[05:07] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 368186 in linux "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at<PHONE_NUMBER>000008" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/368186
[05:08] <Stupendoussteve> Also, though he says the error stops when he turns off desktop effects, the kernel oops looks like it's bluetoothd that's causing problems, which it be wise to ask for information about his bluez version before marking it confirmed?
[05:09] <nhandler> Stupendoussteve: I would personally try to reproduce the bug (if possible)
[05:10] <nhandler> I didn't look at it much, but if you do suspect bluez might be the source of the problem, you could try asking for information about what version he has. You could also try having him disable it and see if the problem stops
[05:10] <Stupendoussteve> Unfortunately I can't get it to reproduce. He says that with desktop effects enabled, changing virtual desktops causes the kernel panic (works fine for me)
[05:10] <Stupendoussteve> I see, well I'll request that then
[05:14] <nhandler> If you can't reproduce it, try and see what you have that he doesn't (different packages installed, different versions, different hardware, etc)

[17:18] <andresmujica> for a similar bug,
[17:18] <micahg> ok
[17:19] <andresmujica> not to turn into a dupe or something
[17:19] <micahg> I also converted a flash bug on FF 3.0.10 to a question
[17:19] <andresmujica> but to check the fact that the gui didn't worked as expected, which is a real bug.
[17:19] <micahg> I tested flash and it worked fine for me
[17:19] <micahg> I have the same platform
[17:20] <micahg> do people goof on triage sometimes?
[17:20] <hggdh> yes, we do goof
[17:21] <hggdh> (we are humans, after all)
[17:21] <micahg> ok, so am I better off jumping in and trying to help?
[17:21] <andresmujica> and we're a lot humans by the way
[17:21] <andresmujica> :)
[17:21] <andresmujica> yeah!!!
[17:21] <micahg> ok
[17:21] <micahg> I just made it to the top 20 for answer tracker and figured it was about time to give some bugs a shot
[17:22] <andresmujica> the worst thing that could happen is that you help someone
[17:22]  * hggdh thinks be be more human than normal, since goofing seem to be a conastan lately
[17:22] <hggdh> there you go. Goofed again :-(
[17:22] <micahg> I love ubuntu
[17:22] <micahg> anyways...off to work
[17:23] <micahg> thanks for the help and vote of confidence :)
[17:23] <andresmujica> np, linking answer tracker and bug tracker is a great way to find new bugs and help users!
[17:56] <cornucopic> Hi all! the right, delete, up and down arrow keys are not working for me on Ubuntu 9.04. Way out?
[17:58] <vocx> cornucopic, your eh... bug report lacks information...
[17:58] <cornucopic> vocx, I would be glad to make it complete
[17:58] <cornucopic> what else is desired?
[17:59] <Elbrus> I created a rather large debdiff for lesstif2 (a motif replacement) which lacked some attention. bug 369383. Can I subscribe anybody? motu-sponsors? Does it need ack?
[17:59] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 369383 in lesstif2 "lesstif2: improving the package by including Fedora and upstream patches" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/369383
[18:00] <hggdh> Elbrus, yes, subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors
[18:02] <vocx> Elbrus, how many packages use lesstif nowadays?
[18:02] <hggdh> Elbrus, when you prepare a patch/debdiff it is always good to subscribe the sponsors for the package
[18:02] <Elbrus> great done
[18:03]  * Elbrus will look that up
[18:03] <Elbrus> paul@etna ~ $ apt-cache rdepends lesstif2 | wc
[18:04] <Elbrus> gives 55 packages
[18:04] <cornucopic> vocx, ping
[18:04] <hggdh> so the question is if any of these are affected by your changes
[18:04] <Elbrus> I hope all for the good
[18:04] <Elbrus> might solve some long hanging problems by the look of it
[18:05] <Elbrus> for instance amd64 had problems with bad defined long64
[18:05] <hggdh> good
[18:05] <Elbrus> might be responsible for a lot of strange behavior
[18:06] <hggdh> Elbrus, it might be a good idea for you to talk/chat with with the folks at #ubuntu-motu
[18:06] <Elbrus> anyway, I only used patches from fedora upstream and debain bts
[18:06] <Elbrus> what should I ask there?
[18:06] <hggdh> wouldn't some of these patches be available on current debian?
[18:06] <Elbrus> not incorporated
[18:06] <hggdh> ah.
[18:06] <Elbrus> maintainer does not respond
[18:07] <Elbrus> or hardly
[18:07] <Elbrus> just once on IRC
[18:07] <hggdh> orphaned?
[18:07] <Elbrus> nope, but low nmu
[18:07] <hggdh> k
[18:07] <hggdh> just present your bug & patch, and ask for review
[18:07] <Elbrus> will do
[18:07] <hggdh> anyone is good
[18:07] <hggdh> thanks for the help, Elbrus
[18:08] <Elbrus> np
[19:33] <bdmurray> Elbrus: you mentioned bug 369383 earlier correct?

[19:36] <Elbrus> correct
[19:36] <bdmurray> Is that your debdiff?
[19:36] <Elbrus> yes
[19:36] <bdmurray> Is there a debian bug with a similar debdiff that can be linked to?
[19:36] <Elbrus> yes, sorry, forgot about that
[19:37] <Elbrus> it's in the description
[19:37] <bdmurray> ah, I see it now, could you add a bug watch for it?
[19:37] <Elbrus> np
[19:39] <Elbrus> bdmurray: done
[19:42] <bdmurray> Elbrus: great, thanks!
[19:43] <Elbrus> sure
[19:43] <Elbrus> It was a hell of a job to figure things out...
[19:43] <Elbrus> so this is just a minor step :)

[21:03] <greg-g> you can do an "also effects project" and type in "ubuntu-website" then invalidate the Ubuntu task.  And make a comment saying that you assigned it to the correct project, and thanks for the bug report.

[21:29] <BUGabundo> YoBoY: ola
[21:29] <BUGabundo> ainda n te dás com os acentos. lol
[21:36]  * BUGabundo is doing bug triage on LP, over identica ehehehe
[21:37] <YoBoY> é o meu teclado... esse á nao esta acessivel
[21:38] <hggdh> olã BUGabundo (so that YoBoY will not feel alone)
[21:39] <YoBoY> ^^
[21:40] <BUGabundo> eehhe
[21:40] <BUGabundo> ohh this alphacamp is making me loose it! trying to teach him how to use LP, and he just want to run away
[21:49] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: LP is slow today, I want to run myself ;)
[21:51] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: just see my identi.ca life stream and the talk to alphacamp
[21:52] <BUGabundo> we discussed this morning about Notify-OSD possible bug, then I asked him to file it via ubuntu-bug
[21:52] <BUGabundo> he did not, and made a poor bug reported
[21:52] <BUGabundo> and talked to him and explained what was wrong, but _as usual_ I _sounded_ harsh!
[21:53] <BUGabundo> that's the only thing preventing me to apply to bug-control team... I always sound aggressive when talking (written) to ppl I don't know in person (or they know me)
[21:59] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: heh..
[21:59] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: how harsh is harsh? ;)
[22:00] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: I have low tolerance for ignorance, too. ;)
[22:01] <BUGabundo> its not ignorance
[22:01] <BUGabundo> not everyone knows how to use a BTS
[22:01] <BUGabundo> and LP is a diff type from many others
[22:01] <BUGabundo> most users are not used to even filing bugs
[22:01] <BUGabundo> every time I file one, I get better!
[22:01] <BUGabundo> I compile more info and details on how to make a bug report better
[22:02] <BUGabundo> take a look at my ealier ones and be scared!
[22:02] <BUGabundo> take a look and my lastest one and expect a bug that will mark by it self Confimed/triaged
[22:02] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: but if you told him how to do it properly and he ignored you it's ignorance imho.
[22:03] <kklimonda> it's not like we don't have enough work even without bugs like "xyz doesn't start" ;)
[22:04] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: worse then does: "ubutnu doesn't work. bye!"
[22:05] <YoBoY> need help for this one : bug 368361 don't know where to send this bug
[22:05] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 368361 in bash-completion "apt-get Bash Autocompletion Not Working" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/368361
[22:06] <BUGabundo> bah
[22:06] <BUGabundo> let me guess running as root or doesn't have the package?
[22:06]  * BUGabundo wonders why root doesn't do autocompletion
[22:07] <kklimonda> YoBoY: his bash_completion has different md5sum from the one installed from package.
[22:07] <kklimonda> it shouldn't matter as they are the same (one is missing new line)
[22:07] <YoBoY> yep ^^
[22:08] <YoBoY> the problem is the apt-cache don't work for the normal user
[22:08] <kklimonda> weird
[22:08] <YoBoY> yep
[22:08] <kklimonda> apt-cache is part of apt package
[22:09] <YoBoY> yes
[22:09] <BUGabundo> works for me
[22:09] <YoBoY> for me too
[22:09] <kklimonda> YoBoY: I'd mark it invalid
[22:09] <kklimonda>  /etc/apt/apt.conf isn't installed by system
[22:10] <kklimonda> so he had to create it manually and set wrong permissions
[22:10] <YoBoY> yes but the problem is the user have used the alternate cd to install his ubuntu, i can't confirm this issue happen on every alternate install or not
[22:11] <kklimonda> crap.. ;)
[22:11] <YoBoY> yes :D
[22:11] <kklimonda> YoBoY: ask him for this apt.conf file
[22:11] <kklimonda> it doesn't come from any packages, if it was autogenerated it should have some header.
[22:12] <BUGabundo> how did he add to attachements to just one reply?? email?
[22:12] <BUGabundo> do better:
[22:13] <BUGabundo> $ apport-collect apt
[22:13] <BUGabundo> or
[22:13] <BUGabundo> $ apport-collect bash-completion
[22:13]  * BUGabundo duh forgot bug number
[22:16] <YoBoY> BUGabundo: yes email, usefull for this ;)
[22:16] <kklimonda> Can you change some bug settings by sending an email? Status, or assignee ?
[22:17] <BUGabundo> yep
[22:17] <BUGabundo> send HELP to LP mail
[22:17] <BUGabundo> or read the wiki page
[22:17] <BUGabundo> mails MUST be signed

[22:21] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: doing from head....
[22:21] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: yes
[22:21] <kklimonda> damn, I'm using gmail interface ;)
[22:21] <BUGabundo> with a valid key for that email address on LP
[22:21] <BUGabundo> ff addon firepgp?
[22:21] <kklimonda> oh well, firegpg (or whatever it's called) here I come..
[22:22] <BUGabundo> ahhhh that's it. now I remind my self!
[22:22] <BUGabundo> 2 weeks ago I wanted to file a wishbug for gmail labs... and Sigining was it... I forgot once I got to the groups thing! duh
[22:24] <kklimonda> oh, i see that firegpg has nicer interface for gmail
[22:24] <BUGabundo> has it??
[22:24] <BUGabundo> I just use kmail or mutt
[22:24] <kklimonda> and firefox crashed (so we can still pretend that this is on the topic discussion) ;)
[22:24] <BUGabundo> screenshots?
[22:24] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: eheheheehehe
[22:25] <BUGabundo> its not an ubuntu bug! its addon so its upstream
[22:25] <kklimonda> again..
[22:25] <kklimonda> so firegpg is messing something up
[22:26] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: http://getfiregpg.org/screenshots.html
[22:26] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: http://getfiregpg.org/images/newscreenshots/gmailnewcompose.png this one is new
[22:27] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: I think there was a known bug about ff .0.9
[22:27] <BUGabundo> and that .10 fixed
[22:27] <BUGabundo> not sure we have it in yet
[22:28] <kklimonda> oh, it sends signature as a .asc attachment
[22:28]  * kklimonda is in love
[22:29] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: don't all clients do that?
[22:29] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: it didn't
[22:29] <BUGabundo> I keep getting replies from Outlook users trying to open my key
[22:29] <kklimonda> i like this new firegpg - the last reason to use desktop mail client has disappeared.. ;)
[22:31] <BUGabundo> eheh
[22:32] <kklimonda> damn, xchat does poor when it comes to handling many channels..
[22:32] <kklimonda> i can't switch to 10th, 11th etc. using keyboard..
[22:33] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: gmail is good but not good enough to handle 78k unread emails, 16 accounts, and 38GiBs of mail
[22:34] <BUGabundo> I don't love Cloud that much
[22:35] <kklimonda> 78k unreaded mails? I don't think that anything can handle that many mails in some sane way..
[22:35] <kklimonda> gmail does handle multiple accounts pretty well
[22:35] <YoBoY> kklimonda: ctrl + page up/down
[22:35] <kklimonda> but dunno if there isn't some limit..
[22:35] <mrooney> If as a triager I file a bug upstream for someone, is there some sort of wiki page to point people at explaining how to do it themselves in the future and when to?
[22:36] <mrooney> It seems like it would be useful to help teach more people about doing that as opposed to just, "I've filed this upstream"
[22:36] <YoBoY> mrooney: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Forwarding%20upstream << this page?
[22:37] <mrooney> YoBoY: no, that is for triagers
[22:37] <mrooney> I meant a page to explain to bug filers when and how to file upstream themselves in the future
[22:38] <YoBoY> one od the pages referenced don't give the answer ?
[22:39] <kklimonda> i'd love to see the day when most projects move to launchpad ;/
[22:39] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: kmail does it fine! folders and sub dirs, filters, and Expire
[22:39] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: +1
[22:39] <BUGabundo> its so easy to just mark "upstream"
[22:39] <kklimonda> and some projects are using really weird tools
[22:40] <kklimonda> i personally hate debian bts..
[22:40] <thekorn> mrooney, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream has some instructions for a few upstream bug tracker
[22:40] <kklimonda> but it has nice email interface ;)
[22:40] <BUGabundo> I dislike bugzilla
[22:40] <BUGabundo> to slow and complicated
[22:40] <BUGabundo> plus many project like to make it even more complicated
[22:40] <BUGabundo> look at KDE
[22:40] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: the problem with various bugzillas is that they all require you to create an account.
[22:40] <BUGabundo> so does LP
[22:41] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: but it's only one account for various projects ;)
[22:41] <mrooney> GNOME bugzilla is just one accoutn
[22:41] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: And if I'm lazy I can just ubuntu-bug all my bugs and then put a faith in triagers to assign them to upstream ;)
[22:41] <kklimonda> mrooney: then another one for mozilla
[22:42] <mrooney> kklimonda: yeah but that is only because LP isn't open source so no one else CAN use it
[22:42] <BUGabundo> humm I'm fast.. I just bitten bdmurray
[22:42] <mrooney> once that happens surely we will need multiple LP logins
[22:42] <kklimonda> mrooney: but i would want them to move to LP and not create bugzilla using LP code.
[22:42] <YoBoY> no if everyone use OpenID
[22:42] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: I started to upstream most of my bugs and other users , I stuble accros
[22:42] <kklimonda> (by bugzilla I mean generic But Tracking System) ;)
[22:43] <BUGabundo> I have accounts on gnome, kde, pidgin , and several others BTSs
[22:44] <kklimonda> that's why you have so many unread emails ;}
[22:44] <BUGabundo> no
[22:44] <BUGabundo> that's moslty due to MLs
[22:44] <kklimonda> hehe
[22:44] <BUGabundo> 300 new emails alone from ubuntu-users daily
[22:44] <kklimonda> I have decided to unsubscribe from most MLs
[22:45] <kklimonda> now I'm only subscribed to ubuntu-devel-discuss and debian-python..
[22:46] <BUGabundo> no announce? no -devel? no lp-users?
[22:46] <kklimonda> I try to keep my sanity intact ;)
[22:46] <YoBoY> i only have Launchpad and BugSquad :p
[22:46] <kklimonda> i think about -devel as it's low traffic
[22:46] <kklimonda> and maybe lp-users as.. dunno ;)
[22:46] <YoBoY> and adopter 2 packages to try
[22:47] <YoBoY> adopted
[22:47] <kklimonda> BUGabundo: there is little reason to sign onto all those lists if you can't even scan subjects to see what's going on
[22:47] <kklimonda> at least imo
[22:48] <BUGabundo> scan? I only do that when I a get an huge backlog!
[22:48] <BUGabundo> usually I keep them read
[22:48] <BUGabundo> expect kernel, marketing and users
[22:48] <BUGabundo> oh and pidgin!
[22:48] <kklimonda> heh
[22:48] <BUGabundo> I just read that last one when I need to blead from my eyes
[22:49] <kklimonda> it's that bad? ;)
[22:50] <BUGabundo> bad? have you ever heard that some FOSS project are bad to new users?
[22:50] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: they aren't bad to new users. they are terrible to anyone, even them selves
[22:51] <Pollywog> define new users?
[22:51] <BUGabundo> hi Pollywog
[22:51] <Pollywog> hi
[22:51] <BUGabundo> Pollywog: any new user to the proj
[22:51] <Pollywog> oic then that would make me a pre-new user
[22:51] <BUGabundo> just yesterday a friend of mine, tried to get help from #ruby
[22:51] <BUGabundo> I just went way... they trolled him as Noob and refused to help
[22:52] <Pollywog> oh yes I get that a lot
[22:52] <kklimonda> how can i display list of new bugs in ubuntu project?
[22:52] <BUGabundo> usually if a new users comes up here, or any other #ubuntu support channel, s/he gets a welcome reply
[22:52] <kklimonda> it was some VERY long uri afair..
[22:52] <kklimonda> and I lost it ;)
[22:52] <BUGabundo> unless its #ubuntu.... too many users to get help there
[22:53] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: click on advance??
[22:53] <Pollywog> people try Linux and then many change their minds when they get that treatment
[22:53] <Pollywog> because they have heard about community
[22:54] <kklimonda> ubuntu community isn't bd
[22:54] <kklimonda> bad*
[22:54] <kklimonda> but irc isn't really good channel for user support
[22:54] <Pollywog> I think the best place to get help is the ubuntuforums
[22:54] <kklimonda> ubuntuforums.org is better - easier to see a problem, to keep track of it..
[22:54] <kklimonda> on #ubuntu there are just so many people and questions that it's easy to miss one..
[22:55] <Pollywog> I sometimes go there because I have a problem and then I see that someone else is having a problem that I had
[22:55] <kklimonda> i think people should be directed to their loco channels..
[22:55] <Pollywog> I have been using Linux since 1997 and I am still green
[22:56] <BUGabundo> kklimonda: I do that for most users for my loco team
[22:57] <BUGabundo> Pollywog: how is that possible? lol
[22:57] <kklimonda> Pollywog: I use it for 8 years and I can fix most of my problems but there are areas (for example audio subsystem) I just don't understand at all
[22:57] <Pollywog> because Linux keeps changing and I can't keep up
[22:58] <kklimonda> I can build distro from scratch, create secure server, write some nice apps but when it comes to internal microphone I don't know what to do with it ;)
[22:58] <Pollywog> I used Debian most of the time until a few years ago when there was doubt that Debian would survive
[22:59] <Pollywog> because people were leaving the project
[22:59] <BUGabundo> I've been touching linux since 95/6
[22:59] <kklimonda> it was during this long leap between releases?
[22:59] <BUGabundo> using ubuntu since 5.10 and 100% time since 6.06
[22:59] <BUGabundo> been beta/alpha tester since 6.10 beta
[23:00] <BUGabundo> can't do a line of code, to save my life, but I do pretty good help links to users
[23:00] <Pollywog> I think people were leaving Debian because of hostility they perceived there
[23:00] <kklimonda> i still have an old 5.10 system which I upgraded up to 8.04 without any problems.
[23:02] <Pollywog> I generally have problems with upgrades, usually with Nvidia
[23:02] <Pollywog> but a clean install fixes it
[23:02] <kklimonda> I only had to do a clean install when 5.04 was released
[23:02] <darizzle> hi all
[23:02] <kklimonda> after upgrade from 4.10 I had many problems..
[23:03] <Pollywog> hi
[23:03] <kklimonda> now 8.10->9.04 upgrade was painless even with nvidia
[23:03] <darizzle> did you do straight upgrades
[23:03] <kklimonda> hi darizzle
[23:03] <darizzle> or incremental
[23:03] <kklimonda> darizzle: incremental
[23:03] <kklimonda> darizzle: it is possible to do straight upgrades if you know what you are doing
[23:03] <kklimonda> (for example it's possible to go from kubuntu 8.04 to 9.04)
[23:03] <darizzle> incremental is probably safer
[23:03] <kklimonda> it is
[23:04] <darizzle> man
[23:05] <darizzle> so far ive only triaged one bug
[23:05] <darizzle> i think qa is a great way to learn a system
[23:05] <Pollywog> I had a Hardy system that I upgraded to Intrepid and followed that with an upgrade to Jaunty.  Nvidia was messed up, so I did a clean install and that fixed it, but I think I did not need to do that.  I think I know where I messed up, it was that new Hardware module, it would have fixed the problem
[23:05] <Pollywog> the one that looks for proprietary drivers
[23:06] <darizzle> yea
[23:06] <darizzle> ive been rolling ati for about 10 years
[23:06] <Pollywog> until about 3 yrs ago, the main problem with upgrades was ALSA
[23:06] <darizzle> so havent experienced that
[23:06] <darizzle> always play the underdog
[23:06] <Pollywog> now I never need to bother with it
[23:07] <darizzle> except its nearly impossible to find a laptop with amd in it these days
[23:07] <bdmurray> restricted-manager
[23:07] <kklimonda> Pollywog: did you use dist-upgrade or upgrade-manager ?
[23:07] <darizzle> so im rolling intel chips in the lappy
[23:07] <kklimonda> update-manager*
[23:07] <Pollywog> kklimonda: apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:07] <kklimonda> Pollywog: don't do it
[23:08] <kklimonda> Pollywog: update-manager doesn't do only "dist-upgrade" under the mask.
[23:08] <kklimonda> Pollywog: it has a lot of quirks for various known upgrade problems
[23:08] <kklimonda> Pollywog: and one of them was for nvidia upgrade
[23:08] <Pollywog> I will use the newer tools if they work.  When I was a Debian user, upgrades went smoothly with the exception of the move from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels
[23:08] <kklimonda> (there is no nvidia-glx-177 in jaunty)
[23:09] <kklimonda> Pollywog: i've always used update-manager and never had any problems with it.
[23:09] <Pollywog> yes that is why even my clean install did not work at first boot
[23:09] <Pollywog> nvidia-glx was "missing"
[23:09] <Pollywog> but that hardware module fixed it
[23:10] <Pollywog> and I bought a hp2133 Mini Note a couple of weeks ago and Jaunty runs great on it
[23:11] <Pollywog> in Gnome, wifi works out of the box though there seems to be a problem with KDE and wifi
[23:15] <kklimonda> supported hardware is 95% of the success..
