[Benjamin Kerensa <bkerensa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Benjamin Kerensa and I would like to submit a re-application 
for Bug Control.


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 and of course I have.

Have you read Bugs/HowToTriage, Bugs/Assignment, Bugs/Status and 
Bugs/Importance? Do you have any questions about that documentation?
I have read all and do not have questions at this time.

What sensitive data should you look for in a private Apport crash report 
bug before making it public? See Bugs/HowToTriage for more information.
If coredump.gz exists look for Stacktrace.txt and Threadstacktrace.txt 
and if you dont find passwords, things that look like bank account 
numbers, CSS keys, user names, server names, etc then you can mark it 
public although keeping it private through its life does not hurt.

Is there a particular package or group of packages that you are 
interested in helping out with?
Will help where needed ;)

Please list five or more bug reports which you have triaged and include 
an explanation of your decisions.


[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/boinc/+bug/878571
Desc: BOINC was giving off Bad Url error message and was defective in 
its current state in 64bit nut not 32bit
I verified the bug and also was the reporter.

Importance: I would agree with the "Medium" designation since it 
affected a wide range of users and had a severe impact
on a non-core application.


[2] 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/844535

Desc: Essentially in the latest gnome-control-center they left out the 
ability to switch between proxy profiles and there has been other usability
issus related to this. I assisted by reporting this Known Bug to 
upstream and updating our local bug.

Importance: I would rank this on "Low" instead of "Wishlist" because to 
some extent it causes problems but there is a known workaround described 
on AskUbuntu.


[3] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/ubiquity/+bug/830946

Desc: Essentially ubiquity has a embedded terminal window which was not 
displaying the progress of the install and this had been reported in 
other bugs (I acutally reported it once and bdmurray, slangasek and I 
had discussed it at global jam)

Importance: I would set this to "Medium" because it does affect a large 
number of users although it does not cause a major defect that would
inconvenience most users.

[4] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-wallpapers/+bug/296538

Desc: ubuntu-wallpapers has one wallpaper that uses jpg instead of png

Importance: This bug should be clearly kept at low since it really 
affect the end user and is hard to notice as end-user.

[5] 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/844535

Desc: Essentially gnome-control-center no longer offers proxy profiles 
and has caused some issue in switching

Importance: This is a wishlist item for Ubuntu to restore a feature 
available in 11.04 and was forward upstream and I feel wishlist is 
definitely appropriate in this case since it is not a Ubuntu Bug 
neccesarily.
