too much of a time hence marking a bug invalid
Hi all, First of all sorry for the cross-posts, I am consciously this as some of the guys not be one of the lists but on the other. Onto the subject matter Please look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/128899 I am looking at it purely from a user's point of view. I file a bug, me the maintainer/bug-triager has some initial discussions where he/she asks for some more info. and later on due to the large backlog of bugs we have he forgets. One of the things the user can do is try to actively follow-up the bug/s about which various people might have various views on that. Another thing is one's interactions with some of the bug-triagers/developers/maintainers , if they perceive a person to be an irritation kinda brush-off then the user also backs off saying hey its not my thing, if they don't want me to raise hackles about something then why should I, the end-result being a bug which could have been dealt with, atleast have some kind of root-cause known is just buried to surface later when either the user does not have the same circumstances (in this specific case, a certain kind of file format which I avoided after that.) Some of the things I said are not at all related with Mr. Sebastian Bacher as he has been extremely co-operative. It's a kind of pattern I've been seeing with few bugs (within myself) which kinda get repeated over and I don't like to leave things uncompleted. I dunno if something can be done about it, or this is the way its gonna be, just throwing it out in the open.

dm-crypt during gutsy install (alternate/server CD)
I'm kinda new to Ubuntu development so please forgive me if I've posted this to the wrong list. I downloaded both the alternate (today's build) and the server (tribe 4) images just to find out cryptsetup(1) isn't available in any of them. I then downloaded cryptsetup and libpopt udeb's from Debian and installed them to get crypsetup going, only to find out neither aes nor sha256 modules are available for the kernel. I couldn't find any package that would provide me with these modules either. Won't dm-crypt be supported during the install of Gutsy Gibbon? I'd really like to see support for this, maybe not for the GUI/menu based installer, but at least have the required binaries, libraries and kernel modules to allow more advanced users to take advantage of it. -- noah -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Note also that the archive is automatically scanned for problems like this, because they can be detected by analyzing the dependencies. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment#head-9827dcffcca6eba8f5fd799ad13d3fa7f8116c39 This can also be caused by packages which are still building, or waiting to build, on some architectures, and other normal processes. When I cannot install new package, because package manager complains to run apt-get -f install, then it should not be a usual situation. And it is the first time when this is so serious - tens of packages seem broken.

But I got some broken dependencies today which fitted exactly the scenario.

You filed the bug on the 28th of July. On the 7th of August (just over a week later), the maintainer examined it. Today you were asked for some more information, you provided it and then (as far as I can tell) you marked the bug invalid. Bear in mind that you are running a development version of an operating system, and things are expected to break at certain points. Some of these things are much more important than others, and so people will target those first. It's unsurprising that a relatively unimportant bug such as this will be looked at with lower priority than My panel keeps crashing or Openoffice deleted my home directory, but it doesn't alter whether the bug is valid or not. Plese do not mark real bugs as invalid just because you feel that it's taken too long. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
house-cleaning the system-user query
Hi all,
Today was removing all the outdated packages so did :-
sudo aptitude autoclean then
sudo aptitude purge ~c (for packages removed but not purged)
While doing that aptitude segfaults on a certain module dunno how to
remove references to that, it doesn't have any files in that package.

Now I don't know if this question is situated on the ML as its of
gutsy hence putting it up here. If its not suited to the ML then just
post the query all answers off-list. I dunno if this is a bug or
what?
