| [04:53] <NCommander> I'm interested in getting started with bug triaging and such, but I'm a little confused on where to begin | |
| [04:53] <nellery> NCommander, best place to get started would be https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowtoTriage | |
| [04:54] <NCommander> That part I get | |
| [04:54] <NCommander> although your link seems to be broken ;-) | |
| [04:54] <nellery> sorry, that was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowtoTriage | |
| [04:54] <nellery> or rather... | |
| [04:54] <nellery> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage | |
| [04:54] <nellery> there we go! | |
| [04:54] <NCommander> Well, no, this I get | |
| [04:55] <NCommander> BUt what I don't get is then once I improve a bug report what do I do with it if I'm unable to implement the fix myself | |
| [04:55] <NCommander> (aka, getting someone to mark it triaged) | |
| [04:55] * NCommander looks for a random bug to explain it better | |
| [04:58] <NCommander> I've been working to resolve bugs like FTBFS failures, and other such issues (the latest being an issue with mono segfaults in some cases). I've seen loads of bugs I can probably can confirm if I looked into it. However, to become a member of the bugcontrol team, it seems more then just confirming bugs is necessary if I can make sense of this page | |
| [05:00] <NCommander> nellery, am I making any sense? | |
| [05:07] <greg-g> NCommander: confirming is one part of the triaging process | |
| [05:07] <greg-g> (ie: one of the first parts) | |
| [05:08] <greg-g> the goal of that part is to get the status fo the bug to "Confirmed" (ie: I experience the same issue with the steps the submitter described) | |
| [05:08] <NCommander> I'm have a few packages in Debian, and I work as a porter with them, so I get the general workflow of triaging bugs and such | |
| [05:09] <greg-g> the next part it to "triage" it to describe what is actually the problem | |
| [05:09] <greg-g> ok | |
| [05:09] <greg-g> one second, sorry | |
| [05:09] <NCommander> no problem | |
| [05:11] <greg-g> NCommander: so, after you have come to the conclusion of how to fix the bug, what is your question? :) | |
| [05:12] <nellery> NCommander, Terribly sorry for leaving you hanging like that! | |
| [05:12] <nellery> I had to run off for a bit ;) | |
| [05:12] <NCommander> I was under the impression that if you want to work on bug triaging, you need to work through th u-bugs group | |
| [05:12] <NCommander> brb | |
| [05:12] <NCommander> pager | |
| [05:12] <greg-g> heh | |

| [05:24] <pschulz01> Greetings.. quick question.. is 'fix-released' the final status for a bug? | |
| [05:25] <Hobbsee> it's one of them | |
| [05:25] <greg-g> pschulz01: either that or invalid :) | |
| [05:25] <Hobbsee> or wontfix. | |

| [05:26] <pschulz01> Cool.. | |
| [05:26] <pschulz01> I was reporting a bug, and was shown a related one, which has been fixed. | |
| [05:41] <NCommander> and I'm back | |
| [05:42] <NCommander> Idiots should not be allowed to plug things into outlets | |
| [05:43] <NCommander> greg-g, you still around? | |
| [05:53] <greg-g> heh, yeah, I am NCommander | |
| [05:54] <greg-g> NCommander: so, where were we? | |
| [05:56] <NCommander> greg-g, bug traging | |
| [05:57] <NCommander> greg-g, I'm interested in joining ubuntu-qa so I can mark the importance of bugs I manage (I file a lot of FTBFS fixes, but I can't mark important because I'm not in ubuntu-qa) | |
| [05:57] <NCommander> err, FTBFS fixes for release archs, FTBFS for other archs are usually minor or wishlist | |
| [05:58] <greg-g> ok... well, joining is pretty straight forward: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl | |
| [05:59] <NCommander> I'm not sure how to meet the forth requirement, 1 + 2 and 3 I get | |
| [05:59] <greg-g> since you are a maintainer for Debian, I would suggest contacting Jorge Castro (as that wiki suggests) | |
| [05:59] <NCommander> ugh | |
| [05:59] <NCommander> hold on | |
| [05:59] <NCommander> Duty calling | |
| [06:00] <greg-g> k | |
| [06:00] <NCommander> greg-g, EMS job, so I'm not needed | |
| [06:00] <greg-g> k | |
| [06:00] <greg-g> so, the fourth req is a list of 5 bugs you have triaged (and possibly fixed in your case) | |
| [06:01] <greg-g> NCommander: but, I would strongly encourage you to contact jcastro | |
| [06:01] <NCommander> I have 19 listed on my bug list | |
| [06:01] <greg-g> he might be able to waive that for you, since you are a maintainer in debian | |
| [06:02] <NCommander> jcastro, ping? | |
| [06:03] <greg-g> he is probably asleep as he is in the Eastern time zone | |
| [06:03] <NCommander> so am I ;-) | |
| [06:04] <greg-g> jorge@ubuntu.com is his email | |
| [06:04] <NCommander> Oh, ew. They changed the LP skin again | |
| [06:05] * NCommander also installs five a day | |
| [06:06] <greg-g> NCommander: so, email jorge and get that going. Until then, you are of course free to sumbit bugs and submit patches, you just won't be able to set the status. Until you are a member, you can simply just come in here and ask one of us to set it for you. | |

| [16:56] <bdmurray> mouz: I agree with seb128 and think launchpad should do it automatically | |
| [16:59] <mouz> bdmurray: maybe the mentioned section on the wiki should be changed then? | |
| [17:00] <greg-g> mouz: which part is confusing? | |
| [17:01] <bdmurray> It says "no need to reject bugs that are *already* marked" which I think is clear. Perhaps the bit about unduplicate should be dropped. | |

| [22:10] <saivann> bdmurray : On not updated Hardy systems, nvidia 8xxx cards did have serious problem with usplash, but not that specific error message | |
| [22:11] <bdmurray> it was the usplash_write bit that caught my eye | |
| [22:12] <bdmurray> but you are probably right that it is kernel related | |
| [22:13] <saivann> bdmurray : Yeah, I guess that this is a library problem since usplash looks like it search lib.6 and does not find it "No such file or directory" is really explicit. And this problem is not common to usplash, even on 64bit systems (I use ubuntu 64bit with a nvidia geforce on hardy) | |
| [22:14] <saivann> bdmurray : It's the first time that I see this error message concerning libc.6.so shown by splash_write | |
| [22:14] <saivann> bdmurray : But it might be interesting to ask the reporter to boot without "splash" in his grub menu, to see what's happening | |
