I want to help fix bugs

Hello Arch community,
I'm here because I would like to help any way that I can, but I just don't know how. I've been using arch for close to 3 years now, and I'd like to get involved in the bug fixing process. There seems to be a great amount of documentation in regards to properly reporting a bug, and on how to ask for help on the forums, but what I'm looking for is a basic way of getting started with the proactive process of fixing and testing bugs. judging from the size of the bug list, and the new bug-squashing days, it sounds like all of the arch developers would like as much help as they can get with the ever increasing amount of bug reports and I am writing this post not only for my own guidance, but hopefully to encourage others to take part in the fixing process.
thanks for any help, and I hope to do as much as I can.

Just go in the bug tracker and see if you can reproduce or find a fix for bugs. There's also a rss feed for the bug tracker if you want to be informed of the new bugs:

I want to view my mums iPad to help fix it

How do I set up my mums iPad to help fix it from my MacBook Pro?

Well, I assumed that is what you meant but that you would also want to try to get into then device from your Mac. If your mother happens to be running Yosemite on a Mac, there is a way to record the iPad screen as long as her iPad is one with the Lightning cable. Take a look at number 12 here.

IF she could record the screen, she could send you videos via email (depending on the size) or via DropBox.

hello Erik Janssen,
Thank you very much. I've tried it that way but when scanned by Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner tool ver 8.0 still errors appear Expression Language Injection.
I describe to you more clearly understand. For example an attack details:
URL encoded GET input product_id was set to *${99240+11490}*
* Request
GET /portal/page/portal/listpro?product_id=%24%7b99240+11490%7d
I built a special filter characters in the portlets so that if the value retrieved from the parameter contains special characters are predefined Raise Error, but still not successful bug fix.
Look forward to receiving your help. Thank you very much :)

My new iphone 4 problems and plzzzzzz i want your help

I just bought iphone 4g and after using it for some time i became very sad as it has alot of problems that i want your help to solve them..first u should know that my iphone came with ios 4.2.1 and locked to vodafone and my 1st problem is when i connect iphone via wifi to my TP Link access point which is connected to Linksys router ,i can surf net for some time but suddenly iphone lose its net connection and then all web broswsers and even App store and itunes applications become not able to open any net page and all of them say that there is no internet connection although iphone is connected very well to acess point and iphone say that wifi signal strength is excellent and internet at this time is working very very well in other devices via wifi also like my laptop and nokia n95 phone and ar this time i have to switch wifi off in iphone and switch it on again to make it able to use wifi internet connection again and my 2nd problem is with bluetooth as when i try to connect iphone to bluetooth headset ,iphone keep saying Searching but it can not find any bluetooth device so i am very sorry for this long topic but as u see this device is full off bugs :((

First the bluetooth issue. Your headset or other bluetooth device needs to be 'discoverable'. You may need to press a sequence of buttons on the device to get it into this mode. If it has ever been paired to anything, it is probably not discoverable by default. This is normal. Consult the manual for your headset. Otherwise any yahoo on the street could connect to your headset.
As for the WiFi issue, I would check with the access point vendor to see if there is a firmware upgrade available. If my search results were accurate, this is a "Super G" access point, which means its implementation of 802.11G is somewhat non standard.
If a firmware update doesn't fix it, see if you can disable the 'Super G' feature and see how it works on 802.11G. Failing that, throttle it down to 802.11B as a test.
It's most likely a compatibility problem with your specific wireless access point.

Will apple next update to help fix the location following data problems will the ipod touch 2g be included ?

will apple next update to help fix the location following data problems will the ipod touch 2g be included ?

Chances are the 2g itouch will not be included in the update. Also no one yet knows if it will be fixed in the next firmware but apple has said they know of this bug.

Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

If it's an application, it should be in the Applications folder. If in doubt, double click on the hardrive icon to open it up, then press Command+F (find) and in the window that comes up for what you want to find, type in AOL and it should appear. You can either drag it to the Dock for easy access or make an alias of that, and drag that alias to the Dock. Oh, and just so's you know, this forum is for Desktop macs only. We may be able to answer your question about a MacBook Pro. Same kind of animal, but different breeds.
good luck

POV-After creating Tcode for a table SM30 I want F4 Help here

Hi All,
After creating Tcode for a table, When I am trying to give table entries thro' this Tcode, I want F4 help for those fields. Apart form assigning "Fixed values" in Domain level how can I achieve this.
Points Assured.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi,
You need to create search helps based on this table for each filed or one for all the fields with proper import and export paramters. Or else you can give check table entries for each of the table fields for which you need the F4 help. Check table us assigned to a field using the Foriegn key assignment.
Best Regards,
Sesh

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

[svn] 2841: Fix bug loading untrusted applications that have not been sized .

Bugs: SDK-16470
SWFLoader:
Fixed a security violation trying to access untrusted content. The problem happened in doScaleContent() when the loaded content had not been sized yet. The fall back is to check the class type of the content, but the SWFLoader did not have access to the content. The security violation was caught and the FlexLoader size is set when it shouldn't be. The problem is solved by checking access rights before accessing the content and not generating an exception.
Ticket Links:

Modified Paths:
flex/sdk/branches/3.0.x/frameworks/projects/framework/src/mx/controls/SWFLoader.as

Ignoring what is causing the errors for a moment, what would help is a way to get the application loader to restart from the point of error rather than going back to the beginning of the "Loading applications" step each time.
I imagine this to be something of a big ask. Any other suggestions in a similar vein?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
