Could these bugs be in the kernel instead of gnome-power-manager and friends (the bug has been around for 2 years...). 18:18:07 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 527157 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Brightness controls skips Levels." [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/527157 18:18:08 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 839281 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Double brightness events after logging in." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/839281 18:19:16 <bdmurray> wagafo: what comment has the workaround? 18:19:40 <wagafo> Sorry if this is not "high or critical" and does not belong. The workaround is adding a paramter for the kernel at boot. 18:20:41 <bdmurray> oh maybe its the one that starts "Happy Birthday Bug ..." 18:20:50 <bdmurray> jsalisbury: can you look at these? 18:21:26 <jsalisbury> bdmurray, wagafo, sure I'll take a look and move them over to the kernel package if needed. 18:22:25 <bdmurray> wagafo: while it isn't a high or critical bug thanks for bringing it up 18:23:01 <wagafo> bdmurray: I have a couple more, should I also mention them? 18:23:22 <bdmurray> wagafo: if a couple really means 2 sure. ;-) 18:23:36 <wagafo> Bug 807259 seems to have all information and seems to me be easy to decide to weather fix or won't fix. 18:23:37 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 807259 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "MetaRelease.download() Issue after Captive Portal" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/807259 18:23:56 <bdmurray> okay, I'll take that one 18:24:15 <wagafo> And the last one: Bug 872207. Can it be marked as triaged? 18:24:16 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 872207 in Compiz "When Firefox is running in Unity, drop-down menus sometime close when opened" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/872207 18:26:38 <bdmurray> Ursinha: can you look at that one? 18:28:55 <bdmurray> wagafo: it looks like 872207 is incomplete and looking for some feedback 18:29:35 <wagafo> bdmurray: OK, let me then go back to it and see if I can more info from the reporters 18:29:59 <bdmurray> wagafo: also the description could use a better test case / steps to recreate the bug 18:30:29 <wagafo> bdmurray: Ok, we'll try to improve the info there 18:30:42 <bdmurray> wagafo: okay great thanks! 18:30:51 <bdmurray> any other bugs we should be aware of? 18:32:44 <bdmurray> #topic any other business 18:32:54 <bdmurray> anything else worth discussing? 18:33:27 <bdmurray> wagafo: if you run into other bugs you are concerned about feel free to use the bugsquad mailing list too 18:33:42 <wagafo> bdmurray: OK 18:35:53 <bdmurray> okay thanks everyone 18:35:56 <bdmurray> #endmeeting
