Hello bug control team, I'm glad to apply to the bugcontrol team and give some time to make Ubuntu better. I've already been a member of this team nearly 1 year ago but had to step down. I'm actively back to triaging since mi-november.
1) Do you promise to be polite to bug reporters even if they are rude to you or Ubuntu? Have you signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct? I promise to be polite to bug reporters even if they are rude to me or Ubuntu. I have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. 2) Have you read Bugs/HowToTriage, Bugs/Assignment, Bugs/Status and Bugs/Importance? Do you have any questions about that documentation? I have read Bugs/HowToTriage, Bugs/Assignment and Bugs/Importance and I don't have any questions. 3) What sensitive data should you look for in a private Apport crash report bug before making it public? See Bugs/HowToTriage for more information. In private Apport crash report, I should look for sensitive data like passwords, various kind of keys, private information like phone numbers, bank accounts, personal informations, ... 4) Is there a particular package or group of packages that you are interested in helping out with? I'm focusing on update/upgrade/installation issues: mainly reports with apport-package tag and update-manager issues. This drives me to work on packages with lot of installation reports like grub, grub2, update-manager, linux, ... I've written a wiki page ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingInstallationIssues ) which summarize the most common installation/update failures and workarounds. To efficiently process those reports, I created some tools to scan buglist and report's attachments. I would like to improve apport in this area to improve bug reporting, user experience and reduce some repetitive and useless triaging work. 5) Please list five or more bugs which you have triaged. These bugs should demonstrate your understanding of the triage process and how to properly handle bugs. If there is a bug in your list that does not have an importance indicate what importance you would give it after becoming a member of Ubuntu Bug Control. Please use urls in your list of bugs. 5.1. This first bug report is not a single report but a work on a package. ttf-mscorefonts-installer: The top issue tagged apport-package during Karmic release. I've cleaned up most of ttf-mscorefonts-installer issues, wrote a detailed analysis of the problems with this package ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JeanBaptisteLallement/AnalysisMsttcorefontsIssues ), and provided a patch to fix it. The patch has been forwarded upstream. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/464422 (critical) https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/431217 (critical) https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/274421 (medium) ( btw, if anyone knows how to reach the debian maintainer, please ping him ) 5.2. stone : stone failed to install : incorrect use of command substitution in postinst https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stone/+bug/495539 Importance : High - Uninstallable package Actions: Reported upstream Provide a patch Patch applied upstream and in Ubuntu 5.3. Postgis : package postgis can't be purged if postgresql is not installed due to missing directory https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgis/+bug/392143 Importance : Low (Easily worked around and affects only full removal of the package under certain conditions) Actions: Confirm, change title & improve description Provide patch for lucid and karmic and fix FTBFS Upstream report and patch. Fixed upstream 5.4. grub2 : package linux-image failed to install : post-installation script returned error exit status 137. /usr/sbin/update-grub killed with SIGKILL https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/504173 Importance : Medium ( grub2 installation is killed by the kernel but few duplicates) Actions: follow up with the user and report upstream. 5.5. texinfo: Texlive2008 install-info conflicts with system's version of install-info https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texinfo/+bug/295542 Importance : Low (Not an issue with Ubuntu but a conflict with a common external package TexLive. Most TexLive users are experiencing it and reporting it to Ubuntu) Actions: Follow up, reproduce and update description. I would be very happy to join the team and use my background and experience to help to improve Ubuntu.
