Network Manager

Here we have a sampling of bugs to work on for Hug Day. After you have triaged or fixed a bug put your name in the last column and set the row's background to green by adding lightgreen in the first cell of the column after "background-color:" and before ";". This will let people know that the bug in that row has been hugged.

You might find it more convenient to edit the wiki page using editmoin - a command line utility for editing moinmoin wiki pages. It is available as a package in Gutsy and Hardy. More information including an easier way to do this was mailed to the Bug Squad.

Kubuntu Users

If you're running Kubuntu you may want to have a look here to participate. However, many bugs will be in the backend, so working on the ones listed here is also very helpful.

Tagging

If the syslog file is available in the bug report, please look for the kernel driver and use the name as a tag, example:

  • driver-madwifi
  • driver-ndiswrapper

Also add a tag based on the encryption method, example:

  • encryption-wpa
  • encryption-wep
  • encryption-wpa2

If the bug is related to one of the VPN modules (vpnc,openvpn or pptp), please tag the bug as "vpn".

88 bugs in New status

These are untriaged or not confirmed network manager bugs. You may want to read the DebuggingNetworkManager page in order to grab more info from the reporters.

To mark it off the list you should:

  • Ask the reporter for '/var/log/syslog' after reproducing the bug and set the bug to "Incomplete" or

  • If '/var/log/syslog' is present change the status to "Confirmed" and set an importance (if you are not a QA member ask someone for help) or

  • Search for duplicates (and mark if found)
