There are more people reporting bugs than evaluating new bug reports. 
And there are, in turn, more people evaluating new bug reports than 
actually fixing the bugs. The more popular Ubuntu becomes, the bigger 
both of those disparities will become.


So if you're interested in helping out, one route would be to join the 
Bug Squad. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved After 
that you could find ways to encourage others to join the Bug Squad, 
and/or find ways to make Bug Squad members more efficient.


Another route would be to become an Ubuntu developer.

Hibernate and Restriced Drivers (Was: 4 More days...)

2007-10-16 Thread Paulus Esterhazy
Hello developers,

 There's the decision to ship with a kernel that breaks
 suspend/resume on any machine using ATI proprietary drivers (and
 Nvidia I think, but by that point we'd rolled a custom kernel to fix
 the Ubuntu breakage).

This bug, or this group of bugs, will be a source of annoyance to many
users. Basically, when you use restricted drivers (both NVidia and ATI),
your system will fail to resume from hibernation most of the time. As
restricted drivers are enabled by default, this should be considered a
regression from feisty.

See for example #34043, which I think is still valid for most NVidia
users, or #151471 for a more recent incarnation. Sometimes, following
the instructions of:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend

will help make it work, but often it doesn't. What this means is that
suspend won't work out of the box in Ubuntu any more. (And if you try
anyway it crashes, with the possibility of data loss). (See [1])

I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful. Ubuntu developers are doing a very
good job overall, and dealing with binary blobs isn't an easy task. It's
alright to know that something is broken right now, but it's worrying to
have the impression that no solution is in the offing at all. I'd love
to see some sort of Hibernation team created that tries to tackle the
problem in a systematic way.

Thanks
Paulus (who loves Gutsy otherwise)

 I have to say that I was quite offended by your statement. It's not
 constructive in any way and it does not reflect the amount of effort,
 both paid and unpaid, put in by the community.

I'm infamous for opening mouth and inserting foot and I tend to fly off
the handle (irrationally at times - hence my nickname).

I don't deny that a lot of people have put a lot of effort into this
release as they always do.  Perhaps the problem isn;'t so much the bugs
themselves but the responses (or lack thereof) from devs to the bugs.
And I want to see Ubuntu succeed.  I play with several distros and any
given time (in virtual machines) but Ubuntu is my base system. Why,
because despite it's shortcomings i still best meets my needs. And I'm
generally impressed with the community (despite my perceived statements
to the contrary).

 
 If you're frustrated with the development process perhaps you should
 find another way to contribute to its success.

I've been running Gutsy for a little over two months now.  In part
because I wanted to help out. But it's quite disheartening to file bug
reports (some of which are seemly serious) only to find that they don't
merit any kind of response other than undecided for days (or perhaps
weeks) on end.

I realize that most bugs are rather trivial in the big scheme of things,
but bugs that affect everyday operation of the system (or of widely
regularly used applications - e.g. those in main) are something else).

And in case anyone was wondering..

No, I'm not just speaking of bug reports I've filed (or added to). I've
browsed through a number of others and found they garnered little or no
response other than undecided as well.

I get more constructive response on my bug reports from devs to on this
mailing list than I do in the bug reports themselves.

What's wrong with this picture?

Re: 4 More days...

2007-10-15 Thread Scott (angrykeyboarder)
Matthew Garrett spake thusly:
 With the exception of the Thunderbird and timidity issues (and I can't 
 reproduce the timidity one here at all), every bug you've responded to 
 in gutsy appears to be down to your issue with Hal. And, judging by the 
 log there, your system was entirely broken:
 
 03:13:09.373 [W] ids.c:294: Couldn't stat pci.ids file 
 '/usr/share/misc/pci.ids', errno=13: Permission denied
 03:13:09.373 [W] ids.c:515: Couldn't stat usb.ids file 
 '/usr/share/misc/usb.ids', errno=13: Permission denied
 03:13:09.373 [E] osspec.c:310: Unable to inotify_add_watch() for 
 '/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe': Permission denied
 
 indicates either filesystem corruption or that something has heavily 
 screwed with the permissions. It certainly doesn't look anything like a 
 hal bug. What are you actually complaining about?

I'm a lowly user who only knows somewhat more than the average Joe, but
is pretty much in the dark about a lot of this stuff. In fact, I can
read descriptions of programs like hal and dbus and still not fully
grasp their purpose.

Bearing that in mind, there are plenty out there who know a fraction of
what I do. They are the ones Ubuntu is catering to by all the (very nice
and convenient I might add) apps that give little reason for new users
to ever open a terminal.

But I digress

All of this stuff you quoted from my report is utter gibberish to me. I
do understand permission denied and found that quite odd and that
alone told me that something wasn't right.

I had no way of knowing what the problem was other than it seemed
related to HAL because only when attempting to upgrade to a new version
of HAL did that problem rear it's head.

If it was a filesystem corruption or messed up permissions, then it only
seemed to be affecting the installation of HAL.

You know how many updates there are on a given day. Well virtually all
of them went without a hitch (they now number in the hundreds I'm sure).
 The ones that didn't were generally due to a conflict in a package that
shared the same file with other (something I've noticed in a number of
KDE apps from time to time over the past few years).  There are easy
workarounds for those (although I wouldn't have known that a few years ago).

So up until your response here I had no reason to believe it was
anything but a corrupt installation of HAL. And the only thing that
could have caused that based on my own behavior is a corrupt package or
packages or maybe a broken install or corrupt download or something
similar.  I had no way of knowing if the problem was on your end, my end
or en route...

Now...

I thank you for the helpful information you have given me today but I
have to ask...  Why (as of this writing) is this not mentioned in the
bug itself?  Wouldn't that have been the place it should have gone to
begin with?

Since you're a developer and you took a look at my bug and came to that
conclusion, why not add that information to the bug rather than here?

This is one example of how poor communication with regard to bug reports
can be a big cause of frustration.

And the bug in question was only bolstered by the me too comments
that followed. As well as a very similar bug I happened upon earlier
today when I was browsing HAL-related bugs.

From all appearances (as of this writing) that bug report is STILL
undecided.  Isn't that a tad odd?

As far as the Thunderbird issue was concerned, I know it's minor in the
scheme of things and therefore the bug will probably be in the same
state 3 months from now as it is today...

Frustrating? Yes. Important in the big scheme of things? No, not really,
but it was sort of like throwing gasoline on a (my) fire at this point.

As luck would have it, Feisty missed the cutoff for Thunderbird 2.0 by a
matter of a few weeks, so I'd been looking forward to using Ubuntu's
version once again (I used Mozilla's instead - why wait 5 months when
you don't have to).

So it looks like I'll be back to square one there.  Again, minor in the
big scheme of things, but not to this user.

Oh and as far as timidity, goes - definitely minor. I barely remember
even filing the bug.  I do try to help out when I can by filling bugs
though so that's why it was there.  At the time it was a problem.  I've
not even reinstalled it when I did a clean install recently.

There are several other annoying bugs out there that I've just not had
the time or patience to file (or add to). But they are more fuel to the
fire.

And why would Ubuntu or Kubuntu include a default install of a desktop
search application that seems to do more harm that good?  I've yet to
hear anybody sing the praises of Beagle/Kerry (or strigi as is now the
case of Kubuntu - they went from one bad one to another).

But I'll save that for comments on what I'm sure are existing (but
probably undecided bugs as we only have a few days to go).

*sigh*

Re: 4 More days...

2007-10-15 Thread jdong
I understand your frustration  -- I too have reported bugs that have not
seen a resolution. It's bound to happen, on a distribution where the
 users far outnumber the developers. There's a finite number of
developers and they are doing the best that they can. You seem to be
implying that all the developers are just sitting around, slacking off,
and doing nothing, which is simply inaccurate.

Also, having programming or computer science knowledge is not a
requirement for helping out with the bug tracker scene. Why not try to
triage some bugs? I'm sure you've been using Ubuntu long enough to have
an understanding of what is a valid bug, and what is user error or a
duplicate of some other bug. Performing these elementary triaging tasks
frees up time that more programming-oriented developers would be
spending doing this, not to mention it makes the entire bugtracker
cleaner, thus developers can easily see bugs that are valid and can be
fixed.

If you have any other constructive solutions or suggestions, we'd be
more than happy to hear them out. Otherwise, we are all just wasting
time -- you writing these e-mails, us reading/replying to them. Time
that can be better spent doing more productive things.

John

 This is not very constructive. All of us here put our heart and effort

 are bug-ridden that need attention? It's one thing to raise awareness of
 last-minute important bugs, but this seems to be nothing more than
 flamebait

It seems that there are always going to be people who are frustrated
by one thing or another. Lets hope that Don Kelly can find the time to
work out his problems and let us know what the problems where. Unless
your providing real answers or important questions I don't know why
Don should email on this list.
