Mathias Gug: Ubuntu Server Bug Zap: MySQL 5.1
by admin ()Following up on the kvm and samba bug zap days I’m organizing a two day bug zap around MySQL. First phase: bug triaging First in line is triaging all the bugs related to mysql-dfsg-5.1 package. As of Tue Mar 30 00:23:04 UTC 2010 there are 27 bugs waiting to be looked at. The goal is to have the importance set for all bugs and have as many bugs status moved to either Triaged or Invalid/Won’t Fix. A few resources are available to help out:

David Rubin: ZA Jammed Like Champions
by Abilnet ()Awhile ago I posted that Ubuntu-za and clug was planning a Jam. Well on Sunday it actually happened and +- 20 people showed up. I consider that to be pretty awesome. Highlights Tumbleweed explained basic bug reporting, Debian packaging, translations and gave us a quick demo on building Hello. Almost every one upgraded/reinstalled to Lucid some people even did both Some one made a 3D render animation of Tux (I really need to find out what his name was and if we can get hold of it) Mythbuntu crept into peoples boot screens.
Jorge Castro: Handy version checking thanks to rmadison
by Abilnet ()Sometimes I need to check what’s in Debian and what’s in Ubuntu for a certain package. Usually I just go to the packages.debian|ubuntu site and compare them in browser tabs. Turns out there’s an easier way and I wanted to share this with everyone who might not know. Thanks to Scott Kitterman for pointing this out to me! jorge@bojack:~$ rmadison -u debian tasque tasque | 0.1.6-1 | stable | source, all tasque | 0.1.9-1 | testing | source, all tasque | 0.1.9-1 | unstable | source, all
Joe Smith: Ubuntu California Lucid Global Jam
by merc ()On Saturday, the Ubuntu California LoCo team held a Global Jam event at Chapman University in Orange. It was a great opportunity to get the Southern California group together and spend some time on Ubuntu. I gave a presentation about Bug Triage, and had fun messing up staging.launchpad.net. We went to In n’ Out for dinner, which was a great choice as always. Global Jams are an epic idea, and it’s been a lot of fun reading writeups from around the community.

Patrice Vetsel: Fight a bug
by 3nhanced ()For the first time, my laptop will not run under Linux if I can not fix the bug number #539507. Until now I always had machines that have been almost or completely satisfied with Ubuntu. I therefore make this appeal on the Planet Ubuntu to see if I'm not the only one to experience this problem and, with luck, get to resolve this bug. To summarize, the system pauses, and the only way to continue the startup is to go to the console and return back (ctrl+alt+f1 and alt+f7). Once access to gdm and again to finish the opening of my Gnome session. You will find a video on the bug report.

by admin ()As if I didn’t have enough reasons to hate that company already. I have taken a personal vow not to use any Apple products, hardware or software. However, sometimes I have to interact with less ideologically zealous people, like my father, a “proud” owner of an iPod 5G who now sometimes curses his acquisition.
