RedSingularity (Tim) Application,

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?

-YES / YES

2) Have you read Bugs/HowToTriage
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage>, Bugs/Assignment
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Assignment>, Bugs/Status
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status> and Bugs/Importance
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance>? Do you have any questions
about that documentation?

-YES / NO

3) What sensitive data should you look for in a private Apport crash
report bug before making it public?

-Sensitive data to look for in a apport crash would be found in
stacktrace.txt files. Things such as passwords, bank account numbers,
CSS keys, user names, server names, etc may be located in there. Other
items to watch for may be in coredumps/config.files

4) Is there a particular package or group of packages that you are
interested in helping out with?

-I work on any package I feel comfortable with. Most of my time goes to
the update-manager package though. I have been working with that for
many months.

5) Please list five or more bugs which you have triaged and include an
explanation of your Triage. Please note that these bugs should be
representative of your very best work and they should demonstrate your
understanding of the triage process and how to properly handle bugs.
Importance for each one has been discussed with -control members before
being assigned.

Bug 734026
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/734026>
Marked as "Low" because it can be considered a usability issue since it
makes the application more confusing and thus more difficult to use. It
was close between "Low" and "Wishlist". Due to the usability issue, I
gave it Low instead.

I vaguely remember discussing that on IRC back then, so good job at updating the bug after the OPs response. Low was right back then for this.


Bug 738330
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/738330>
Marked as "High" because this issue effected ALL users with a Natty
guest at the time. This also meant Unity desktop was not working in the
guest install thus users could not run tests with unity in natty without
having a dedicated system. This was especially bad at the time due to
the high amounts of triage going on for the stable
natty release.

High sounds about right as it made it impossible to run Unity in Virtualbox using the Guest Additions at that time, you updated the bug too with new information too, even though there still isn't one logfile from the OP. As you added your Xorg.0.log it would've been good to tell him to add his too just to verify that the issues are indeed the same.


Bug 699922
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/699922>
Marked as "Low", It only effected the group of people using a dual
monitor set up. The issue did not effect the usage of thunderbird in any
way. It was more of a "cosmetic" issue.

Good job at upstreaming, watch out that you don't mix thunderbird and firefox next time though ;)
Agreed with Low.


Bug 715517
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/715517>
Marked as "Low", The problem with the restart button was a nuisance but
nothing more. Did not effect the proper working of the update-manager.
And in order to reproduce you need to start update-manager as root which
is not done normally anyway.

Good job at finding the issue and updating the bug. Low was right back then here as well.


Bug 727069
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/727069>
Marked "Low", It can effect a persons usability experience since there
is no "Admin" menu in unity and unity will be the default desktop from
now on. Also, this bug is not a feature request, but rather incorrect
wording in an application that needs to be corrected.

Good job at clarifying the issue. Low was right back then here too.


Bug 742101
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/742101>
Marked "Medium", Didn't want to give it a "High" because that would
really 'flag' it this close to the natty release. It is not enough to
crash the system and the workaround is simple enough. It only effects
those using multiarch repos as well. However it does effect all releases
of ubuntu as of now.


Thanks for confirming that. This is indeed Medium at least, considering multiarch will be used more in the future and this affects upgrades this certainly is an SRU worthy issue so High would've been justified too IMO.



+1 from me.
Thanks for taking the time to review this and make comments yofel. Much appreciated! :-)
