| [02:05] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: can't reproduce | |
| [02:10] <mrooney> bcurtiswx-mini: interesting, must be a quirk | |
| [02:10] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: maybe a keyboard binding problem? | |
| [02:11] <mrooney> bcurtiswx-mini: I don't see how, the actual brightness does the right hting | |
| [02:11] <mrooney> just the notification brightness moves the wrong direction in those cases | |
| [02:12] <mrooney> bcurtiswx-mini: did you more than once? it seems to do the right thing about 20% of the time or so | |
| [02:12] <mrooney> *try more than once | |
| [02:13] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: tried a bunch of times, as many different ways i can think... does it do this for sound too? | |
| [02:13] <mrooney> nope, just brightness | |
| [02:14] <bcurtiswx-mini> plugged in? | |
| [02:15] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: ^^ | |
| [02:19] <mrooney> bcurtiswx-mini: yeah I am plugged in | |
| [02:19] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: im on battery power, | |
| [02:19] <mrooney> same thing on battery | |
| [02:19] <mrooney> I'll add that though, good thinking! | |
| [02:22] <bcurtiswx-mini> when i get it to full it flashes the notify white area brighter | |
| [02:22] <bcurtiswx-mini> does it do that for you? | |
| [02:22] <mrooney> yeah | |
| [02:22] <mrooney> that is just to say "hey, it's full!" | |
| [02:23] <bcurtiswx-mini> yeah, i figured... just thinking of why yours does that | |
| [02:24] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: this may be a dumb question.. but you are fully updated.. correct? | |
| [02:24] <mrooney> bcurtiswx-mini: I updated this afternoon, I can try again | |
| [02:24] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: worth a shot | |
| [02:25] <mrooney> there are some updates, nothing notification or power related, seemingly | |
| [02:26] <mrooney> i'll give them a go and restart anyway | |
| [02:26] <bcurtiswx-mini> ok | |
| [02:27] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Logging%20notifications | |
| [02:28] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: may want to attach the log to the report | |
| [02:30] <mrooney> I don't have that file, interesting! | |
| [02:30] <bcurtiswx-mini> hmm, i don't either | |
| [02:34] <mrooney> oh wikis | |
| [02:35] <bcurtiswx-mini> well, since there is no debug, i'd say uname -a lsb_release -a apt-cache policy notify-osd | |
| [02:38] <bcurtiswx-mini> mrooney: any luck? | |
| [02:38] <mrooney> I just restarted, same thing | |
| [02:38] <mrooney> and this is a different account so I lost my history, would you mind pasting the bug link and those things again? | |
| [02:38] <bcurtiswx-mini> well, since there is no debug, i'd say uname -a, lsb_release -a, apt-cache policy notify-osd | |

| [05:19] <paulduf> Bug #217787 is messy, it has a task on hardy Won't fixed AND released, idem for Intrepid, and I THINK that the duplicate is a false one. | |

| [05:20] <paulduf> This also means, yes, there is someone here :-) | |
| [05:21] <paulduf> Did I mention the Samba task, in triaged state that I would consider invalid I guess. | |
| [05:22] <ApOgEE--> paulduf, I got email saying my desktop-bugs membership is about to expire | |
| [05:23] <ApOgEE--> paulduf, how to update? | |
| [05:23] <ApOgEE--> I did sent email to brian murray... haven't got reply yet | |
| [05:23] <paulduf> So I'd rather leave it to an expert triager. | |
| [05:26] <paulduf> Well, I think this rule is not really applied anyway. (not sure) Best way to make it not to expire is normally to give the requested info. | |
| [05:26] <paulduf> Which number is it? | |
| [05:26] <sbeattie> paulduf: I'm failing to see what needs to be triaged with it: the apparmor policy for cups was insufficient, and that got fixed. libpam-smbpass has a bug in that when it can't access the files that apparmor prevented it from accessing, it causes the application its running in to crash, which is still an open bug that needs to be fixed, but won't be fixed in intrepid and hardy. | |

| [11:44] <brendon1> what can I do to help? | |
| [11:45] <hggdh> brendon1, please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs | |
| [11:45] <hggdh> brendon1, then ask out your doubts. We will be happy to help | |
| [11:49] <brendon1> I'm running Hardy, and I only have 1 computer available, does this mean if I want to try to fix bugs I'll be stuck to Hardy bugs only? or would you recommend I keep multiple partitions to be helpful? | |
| [11:51] <hggdh> brendon1, if you go to reproduce a bug, then you might need the same (or newer) release as the reporter. You might also (if possible) install virtual images | |
| [11:52] <hggdh> OTH, you can check if the bug is correctly described, if steps for reproduction are listed, if the error is a consequence of incorrect usage, etc | |
| [11:55] <brendon1> ok, I'm doing this to get experience at teamwork with programming. So I would like to get as much hands on experience as possible. | |
| [11:56] <hggdh> brendon1, I do not follow you how do you want to use teamwork programming on screening bugs? | |
| [11:56] <brendon1> I'm a pretty good programmer, and a linux user for about 10 years, but I don't have any experience in working as a team on a shared system, know what I mean? | |
| === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn | |
| [11:57] <brendon1> so I thought that getting involved with the Ubuntu community would be a good start. And this is where I found myself. | |
| [11:57] <hggdh> ah, OK. | |
| [11:57] <brendon1> Would you recommend I start triaging for starters? | |
| [11:58] <hggdh> Yes, an online community helps. | |
| [11:59] <hggdh> if you want to understand how Ubuntu works, yes (and we welcome the help!). There is a lot involved on fixing bugs, and most of it starts with understanding the bugs | |
| [12:00] <hggdh> a developer will have a much easier task in a recode if the requirement (i.e. the bug that originated the request) is clear on what happened, how it happened, and why what happened is not the expected result | |
| [12:00] <brendon1> ok, thanks, I'll see if I can't get started there. Also, do you know if Ubuntu offers paid positions for people who contribute a lot? | |
| [12:01] <hggdh> Ubuntu does not. Canonical, on the other hand, does offer employment positions | |
| [12:03] <brendon1> that's good to know. thanks. | |
| [12:03] <hggdh> brendon1, you can look at http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/ | |
| [12:04] <hggdh> be aware that I would expect the requirements to be er, strong | |
| [12:04] <brendon1> of course | |
| [12:05] <brendon1> hggdh, do you contribute a lot for ubuntu? | |
| [12:05] <hggdh> brendon1, not as much as I wish. I have limited time, being on the road a lot | |
| [12:07] <brendon1> but you do what you can for free, correct? | |
| [12:08] <hggdh> brendon1, correct. I am a volunteer, pretty much like most of the others around | |
| [12:11] <brendon1> ok, good to know. I'm happy to contribute for free myself. Although I'm also looking for work these days. I have a friend at HP and he's trying to get me in, but I'm not very optimistic. | |
| [12:12] <hggdh> with the current market status in the US... yes, I understand you. | |
| [12:12] <hggdh> OK, time to get out of the hotel & get to the current client. See you all this evening. | |

| [17:43] <brendon> I'm logged in to launch pad, I've read all the guides, I see a bug that I think I have input for.... so what do I do? | |
| [17:43] <brendon> just respond to the post and confirm or deny the bug? | |
| [17:43] <brendon> shall I click a certain button? | |
| [17:44] <brendon> I want to help triaging | |
| [17:45] <mrooney> brendon: what is the bug number? I can perhaps help you out | |
| [17:45] <mrooney> but generally yes, if you can Confirm the bug it is great to do so | |
| [17:47] <brendon> erm~ trying to get back there. | |
| [17:47] <brendon> is there not a button to go directly to new bugs without discrimination? | |
| [17:48] <brendon> here's one: 344546 | |
| [17:51] <brendon> and so, when we say to "confirm" the bug, that is just to leave a comment confirming that I can reproduce the bug? | |
| [17:56] <mrooney> brendon: no it also means that you change the status to "Confirmed" | |

| [18:00] <brendon> ok, how would I do that? just search? | |
| [18:01] <mrooney> brendon: sure, google also works | |
| [18:01] <mrooney> in this case I searched: firefox menu behind flash site:bugs.launchpad.net | |
| [18:01] <brendon> ok, so I've searched now and I see that this has already been reported | |
| [18:02] <brendon> so do I go back to the orignal and just make a note that it's already reported with bug num? | |
| [18:02] <brendon> and in this case it seems there are multiple instances, which one do I go by? | |
| [18:03] <mrooney> yeah so the second result there, is a duplicate of bug 49613 | |

| [18:05] <mrooney> ah no okay | |
| [18:05] <brendon> well, first of all, I don't consider it a bug myself. I think that it's just the behavior of the browser in linux. I don't think it'll be changed. | |
| [18:05] <mrooney> brendon: here we go! the reporter is using Hardy | |
| [18:05] <mrooney> flash in Hardy is version 9 | |
| [18:05] <brendon> as am I | |
| [18:06] <mrooney> reading the duplicate bug report, it was fixed in flash 10 beta 2 | |
| [18:06] <brendon> does that mean it's outdated? what do I do in this case? | |
| [18:06] <mrooney> so, what you should do is mark it is a duplicate of bug 49613 and leave a comment explaining that it is fixed in Flash 10 and upgrading to Intrepid or newer will solve the problem | |

| [18:08] <brendon> I can only speak for my current release and for softwares which I use | |
| [18:08] <mrooney> go to the duplicate one, copy that and add a comment | |
| [18:08] <mrooney> changing NUMBER in it to the appropriate bug number | |
| [18:09] <brendon> ok, thanks ! | |
| [18:09] <mrooney> then because the bug is fixed, add a line saying something like "This bug is fixed starting with Ubuntu 8.10, so upgrading should address this issue for you" | |

| === fader|lunch is now known as fader | |
| [19:32] <thekorn> pedro_, aha ok, so you run bugnumbers with an url for each section, there is no automation to create a wiki page with a few sections ("new", "confirmed", "with a patch") in one run | |
| [19:34] <thekorn> so it is possible to have an entry with the same bug id in multiple sections, I think I will make the hugday tool to mark all this rows green in such case | |
| [19:34] <pedro_> thekorn: yes that's correct and no there isn't a way to create everything in one run AFAIK | |
| [19:34] <pedro_> thekorn: that'd be a nice feature to have, especially for bugs with patches for example ;-) | |
| [19:35] <pedro_> they could appear on two lists too | |
| [19:36] <thekorn> yeah, but I think closing one does not automatically mean that you can close this entry in the other section | |
| [19:37] <thekorn> but I think we can just ignore this special cases | |
| [19:37] <thekorn> to not overcomplicate things | |
| [19:37] <mrooney> bdmurray: did you have any thoughts on my idea of making a package for the launchpad greasemonkey scripts? | |
| [19:38] <mrooney> I'm willing to give it a shot if it seems useful | |
| [19:45] <bdmurray> mrooney: The stuff I've read about converting gm scripts to extensions indicated the process is questionable | |
| [19:45] <mrooney> bdmurray: oh really, any links? what was questionable? | |
| [19:49] <bdmurray> mrooney: I'll have to look again. If I find anything I'll reply to that thread on bugsquad | |
| [19:50] <bdmurray> The scripts are updated rather frequently due to launchpad changes | |
| [19:50] <bdmurray> However, the same was true of python-launchpad-bugs | |
| [19:51] <mrooney> yeah that is why I think it is useful, one person updates the package, instead of everyone having to manually go to that page and install the new things one by one | |
| [19:52] <thekorn> I have the greasemonkey scripts symlinked to the bzr tree, so it is only bzr pull and I'm up-to-date | |
| [19:53] <bdmurray> thekorn: that's a good idea | |
| [19:55] <mrooney> thekorn: where are the symlinked in to? | |
| [19:58] <thekorn> ok what I did was: bzr pull lp:launchpad-gm-scripts and opened the scripts with FF | |
| [19:58] <thekorn> the I went into ~/.mozilla/ff/something/gm_scripts | |
| [19:59] <thekorn> and searched for the javascript files and linked them to the ones in the bzr tree | |
| [19:59] <mrooney> hm so if you want that to work on a multi-user environment, I wonder where you put them | |
| [19:59] <mrooney> there is a /usr/share/mozilla/extensions | |
| [20:00] <thekorn> not sure is this can be automated but at least for me it works | |
| [20:00] <bdmurray> right, that's why an extension would be better | |
| [20:00] <mrooney> yeah | |
| [20:00] <mrooney> and then a package to install that EVEN better | |
| [20:00] <bdmurray> I think adding it to the 9.10 roadmap would be a good idea | |
| [20:01] <mrooney> I was just going to try to get something up in my PPA | |
| [20:01] <mrooney> however looking at the adblock-plus package is hurting my brain | |
| [20:01] <mrooney> I wonder if there is a simpler extension which is installed via a package | |
| [20:01] <bdmurray> you might look at foxy proxy | |
| [20:03] <thekorn> hehe, foxy proxy sounds funky | |
| [20:03] <sectech> Ahoy! ... | |
| [20:04] <sectech> bdmurray, I have a bug for you that I flagged for review.... | |
| [20:04] <sectech> bug 313439 | |
| [20:04] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 313439 in nautilus "Opening a Java Archive (.JAR) file executes it regardless of the "executable" permission bit" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/313439 | |
| [20:04] <sectech> Originally I marked it as a wishlist and another triager came along and set it to high... | |
| [20:05] <sectech> Even though upsteam invalidated it | |
| [20:05] <sectech> upstream rather | |
| [20:07] <bdmurray> sectech: its on the secuirty teams list | |
| [20:08] <sectech> Not exactly sure who put it there though. | |
| [20:08] <sectech> Or do you mean on there list outside of that report | |
| [20:09] <bdmurray> I mean its on their radar for taking care of | |
| [20:09] <sectech> Good enough... I'll unflag that on my to-do list.. | |
| [20:12] <sectech> I gotta start looking at when our meetings are, I keep missing them. | |
| [20:13] <bdmurray> sectech: its the same time every week - 1700 UTC on Wednesdays | |
| [20:14] <sectech> okay then I better start attending them then... | |
| [20:23] <cadvocate> hi, which package should I submit an installation bug to? | |
| [20:23] <bdmurray> cadvocate: the gui installer? | |
| [20:24] <cadvocate> the Live CD installer. | |
| [20:24] <cadvocate> for 8.10 | |
| [20:24] <bdmurray> cadvocate: ubiquity then | |
| [20:24] <cadvocate> thanks. | |
| [21:19] <sectech> Bug 264054, kind of interesting... | |
| [21:19] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 264054 in cups "system turns into stand by mode while printing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/264054 | |
| [21:20] <sectech> Is there an interrupt that cups could trigger or something to indicate the system shouldn't be put to sleep? | |
| [21:23] <sectech> Actually I just noticed that the bug is quite dated. | |
| [21:40] <axel_foley> hello @ all | |
| [21:40] <axel_foley> i want to report a bug | |
| [21:40] <axel_foley> my english is bad, but i hope u understand me | |
| [21:40] <sectech> Are you familiar with launchpad? | |
| [21:41] <axel_foley> no | |
| [21:41] <sectech> All of our bugs are reported on a system called launchpad https://launchpad.net/ubuntu | |
| [21:42] <axel_foley> sectech: i am the most of my time in "#ubuntu-de" | |
| [21:42] <axel_foley> sectech: ok. thanks | |
| [21:42] <sectech> That's fine... I am just looking for the guidelines on filing a bug, I'll just be a sec | |
| [21:42] <bdmurray> You can report a bug from your desktop though and a lot of information will gathered for you | |
| [21:42] <sectech> apport, whoops | |
| [21:45] <axel_foley> there some problems rebooting a system, when installed on a sw-raid5 | |
| [21:45] <axel_foley> i report this tomorrow. good night | |
| [21:46] <sectech> bdmurray, Unless they specifically a gui application in mind I normally just direct them towards launchpad? | |
| [21:47] <sectech> If it is an application that has a "report a problem" I will direct them towards that.. | |
| [21:47] <bdmurray> sectech: No, its really best to use apport first. http://www.murraytwins.com/blog/?p=38 | |
| [21:48] <bdmurray> sectech: You can use 'ubuntu-bug linux' in a terminal and it'll grab a ton of information for you | |
| [21:49] <sectech> Hmm.. okay... you just solved a question I had then... I will be directing people towards that now | |
| [21:49] <bdmurray> sectech: Are there any other unasked questions you have? ;-) | |
| [21:51] <sectech> hehe.. That specifically wasn't the question... I did know about apport. My unasked question refers to the "in the field" testing that I am doing with people... In an attempt to gain some feedback from "general" computer users who may not normally come across Ubuntu I have asked for participants (so far 3 have been requested) | |
| [21:52] <sectech> Can these people that I am doing this trial with assign the bugs to me until I can look at them and then I will deal with them? | |
| [21:53] <sectech> Chances are they will have no idea on even what a package is let alone how to file a bug... At the moment there instructions are to let me know what issues they run into before they get reported. | |
| [21:54] <bdmurray> sectech: I don't think there is any way to guarantee that'll you be the first responser | |
| [21:54] <bdmurray> responder | |
| [21:55] <sectech> No your right... which is why I was going to get them to record what the bug # was and I was going to go in and assign them to me until I can look into them further. | |
| [21:56] <sectech> It doesn't matter if another triager gets to them first... I just want to keep track of what issues are being ran into and what any concerns are. | |
| [21:56] <sectech> The idea of assigning them to me would be so I can screen them | |
| [21:58] <jgoguen> sectech: I'd be very interested in what you find from your field trials, maybe help with things in Fredericton | |
| [21:59] <sectech> jgoguen, I actually have 2 out of the 3 that I am looking for.. One is a UNB student, the other just uses her computer for general activities... It will be a good trial for providing feedback | |
| [21:59] <sectech> It is important that they report any issues that they have... The question comes though, do I really want these posted to launchpad right away... | |
| [21:59] <jgoguen> sectech: indeed, doing what at UNB? | |
| [22:00] <sectech> jgoguen, Sorry STU I guess, not UNB. She is a getting a bachelor of arts I believe | |
| [22:00] <sectech> I wanted 3 people who were not techies at all | |
| [22:00] <jgoguen> sectech: depends...if it's something like "ZOMG cannt view YooToobe!" probably not :) | |
| [22:01] <sectech> yeah, hence the idea of assigning them to me lol | |
| [22:02] <sectech> I can't really ask them not to report bugs using apport because if they are legit I will want the system information that comes with it | |
| [22:02] <sectech> I have a bunch of other marketing plans in the works too, which is off topic to this channel | |
| [22:03] <jgoguen> sectech: you might want to get them to email you what they can to start and decide if they should report to Launchpad or not? that way you avoid things that are trivial or not bugs, and you can still get them to use apport | |
| [22:04] <sectech> Absolutely, at the moment the 2 I have are just getting acquainted with the system... I have received positive feedback so far. | |
| [22:05] <jgoguen> and if they say something to start, you might say (for example) to report using "ubuntu-bug firefox" when it should be gnash...so if you talk to them before they report anything, you can get the right package right away | |
| [22:05] <sectech> The trial is 6 months long, I probably won't get into bug reporting until they are in their 3rd month | |
| [22:06] <sectech> You probably saw my facebook "Ubuntu Challenge" egh? | |
| [22:06] <jgoguen> sectech: I did, and I like it :) | |
