Made a Bug Report - now what?

Hi guys
I just had myself a bit of a complaint in the good ol' bug report system for the first time:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6306
Naturally my problem was solved within minutes by another kind ARCHer. In this case by "Jan de Groot (JGC)".
Thanks Jan!
Now, Jan provided the solution for my two machines, and therefore I can happily move on knowing how to handle that particular problem.
But what about the bug report I made?
Who owns it?
Who is supposed to either write it off as one stupid ARCH user (me), and basically close and perhaps delete the bug report. Or else forward the bug to the relevant package maintainer?
What should I do at this point to be a nice ARCHer?
Kind regards,
Henning

JGC is a member of the Arch development team. If he responded to your post, he will probably close it. If not, Romashka, the Arch bug-hunter, will do so. It won't be deleted. Either way, all you need to do is say thank you.
You give the impression that this may have been user error and not an actual bug, something I can't comment on with out the bug report number. If you want to avoid that in the future, I'd suggest asking here first, and/or the ML/IRC, before posting.

Made a Disk Image - Now what?

I finished a project in IDVD. I burned a copy and it all worked nice.
Now I want to save it as a Disk Image on my external drive and get back the space used for the project on my Mac HD.
I seem to have made the image fine, but I can't open it? Should I be able to view it from the external drive? Should I be able to bring it back on the Mac HD to view?
I appreciate the help......Looks like it automatically saved as a .img file on my Lacie.
Thank you!
Bill

A disk image is just an 'image' of a DVD you can burn.
You can double-click on the image and mount it on your desktop. Then use Apple's DVD Player application to play the VIDEO_TS folder in the mounted disk image.
I don't know why you can't view it from the external.

I just created my 1st travel expense report - Now what shall I do with the original paper?

Hello,
I just created my first travel expense report. The original paperwork (e.g. from hotels) had been photographed and assigned as expenses. One question: What shall I do with the original papers? Can I throw them away (which I hope). Or is there any legal / tax-related duty to keep them (which would be stupid).

Bug report, how do I find out what is wrong?

my computer keeps getting bug reports stuck all over the desktop. When I print them it is 3 pages long and I dont know how to use the information from it. It only occurs when my son is using Runescape an online game. My son says he has reported all the errors when the computer prompts him to. I did find an Bug Report that seems to be associated with this problem. Our computer did shut down occasionally also, but since I switched the location of the new memory I added it has not continued. The reason I am checking with this website is because this is where the reports are going. The first part of the error report from my computer is this:
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x809D50E

And the last part of the report reads this:

What do I need to do to fix this problem? Could it be Runescapes issue? Is there other information that is more important to this? I really appreciate any help I can get with this problem. And I am sorry for being so long. I have included the Bug Report I found that is an almost exact duplicate of our issue.
Thank you again, Linda Peterson.

JavaJava13 Hey just wondering. Java is used for runescape on my computer, and it seems to be constantly crashing lately. Not only the game is crshing, it seems to even take down the whole computer with it. Sometimes the computer restarts and I get an error message.
"Your system has recovered from a serious error"
Java continues to add error reports to my desktop with this code: 4F530E43505002EF
Anyone help?

try checking with runescapes FAQ/tech support. I play
WC3: RoC and i only got that same memory location
error(0xc0000005). I got that memory error when I
used a no-cd third party program when they upgraded
the server. So, my advice is check on the FAQ for
errors and ask your son if he is using
ANY third party programs.The 0xc0000005 error is a standard error on Windows that can occur for any number of reasons.
It means something in the application tried to access memory to which windows knows the application should not be accessing.

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank. I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

What about a bug reporting mechanism?

Dear SONY developers an users,
the overview of the forum indicates that the software of our phones has some bugs. This is normal - no software is bug-free.
The best known solution in such cases is to introduce some bug reporting and tracking mechanism.
What do you think about it?

Solved!

I think this idea has been posted before and it was forwarded internally. I haven't heard anything about it since so I don't know anything about what happened but I'll send it again

Some text do look like they were final texts, that cannot be filled, but they are also place holders, for example the "Season's Greetings".Have you really clicked on each and every text, to see if they need filling in?

You need to use the credentials for the iCloud account that was used to turn on the Find my iPhone service.
If you can't remember yours, you can recover it here: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
If you've been walking around for 2 years with someone else's account set up for Find my iphone, then you'll have to get hold of that individual. If you can't, there is no way to bypass activation lock.

When you go into the bug tracker, there's a drop down list on your left that says "Arch Linux". Go into there, select "Community Packages", and pres the "switch" button right next to it.

Bug report, Beta 2.12 Standard Edition

Bug report: redundant, confusing, and apparently erroneous calls to
jdoPreClear
and jdoPostLoad. Note in output the null name in the third iteration.
Hi,
A lot of information being sent. Sorry, but I think you'll find it
helpful. I expected the exact same sequence of calls to jdoPreClear
and jdoPostLoad on the 2nd and third iteration. In fact, since,
retain values is true, and no changes are being made, I expected that
jdoPreClear and jdoPostLoad would not be called at all on the 2nd and
3rd iteration.
David Ezzio
Using 2.12 Beta, standard edition
Business method uses one PM. Configured to datastore transaction,
retainValues == true, non-TR == false, and non-TW == false.
The business methods open a transaction and leave it open.
The client calls commitTransaction() to close the open
transaction.
Two persistent objects, Widget and Box. Each implement
InstanceCallbacks and put out a message in jdoPreClear ("will be
made hollow") and in jdoPostLoad ("has been made persistent-clean").
The Widget has a reference to its Box. The number in parenthesis
is the sequence number obtained from the object ID.
Business methods implementation:
public ArrayList getWidgetsByName(String name)
Transaction trans = pm.currentTransaction();
if (!trans.isActive())
trans.begin();
Collection c = (Collection) widgetsByOneName.execute(name);
ArrayList aList = new ArrayList(c);
widgetsByOneName.close(c);
return aList;
public void commitTransaction()
Transaction trans = pm.currentTransaction();
if (trans.isActive())
trans.commit();
Output: from three loops that:
call findWidgetsByName("Maxi-Widget")
list the widgets returned
call commitTransaction()

Due to better understanding on my part, and the fixes in Beta 2.2, the
issues raised in this thread are put to rest.

Abe,
Actually, it doesn't make sense. The first iteration shows
jdoPostLoad is called just prior to using the fields of Widget and Box.
After the commit, the instances are not cleared. So far, so good.
In the second iteration, we see that jdoPreClear is called, but
jdoPostLoad is not called. Yet the values are there for use during the
call to Widget.toString() and Box.toString() within the iteration. How
did that happen?
On the third iteration, now the value of name is null, but last we
looked it was available in the second iteration. Other than that, I
agree that the third iteration looks ok, since it is being cleared and
loaded prior to use. But in the jdoPreClear, the values should be there
since the values were used in the previous iteration and are not cleared
at transaction commit due to retainValues == true.

I believe the behavior you are seeing to be correct. Section 5.6.1 of
the
JDO spec outlines the behavior of persistent-nontransactional instancesused
with data store transactions. As you can see, persistentnon-transactional
instances are cleared when they enter a transaction; thus the calls to
jdoPreClear. When the default fetch group is loaded again (like whenyou
access the name of the widget) a call to jdoPostLoad is made.
You are seeing the name of one instance as 'null' in the third iterationof
your loop because the instance has been cleared in the second iteration,and
the jdoPreClear method is not modified by the enhancer (see section10.3).
Make sense?

BUG REPORT FIRMWARE 5.1.7 PLEASE FORWARD TO SUPERVISOR....

BUG REPORT FIRMWARE 5.1.7 PLEASE FORWARD TO SUPERVISOR.
The spa-3102 has the following two bugs.
When the unit sends a hook-flash to the fxo port it:
a) does not send the hook flash to the fxo port for PSTN Hook Flash Len: Instead it uses a very short pulse of about 100ms or 1/10 of a second. It should honor the PSTN Hook Flash Len configurable parameter of .2 – 1.5 seconds.
b) Does not change the line voltage from –7 (off-hook) to –48(on-hook) during a flash-hook to the fxo port. Instead it varies the voltage only by about 2.5 volts.
This was reported as early as June 07 to linksys support. It is reported they agreed and would fix in the next firmware release. There is info that firmware 5.2 being released and is this fix in 5.2 and how can I get it.

Although the problem is still not solved, at least I now know WHY the problem is happening... and Apple's Firmware Update is NOT to blame!
Through a series of coincidences, I was actually lucky enough to get in touch with the engineers in Apple's Airport firmware division, and they were helping me to nail down this problem.
Turns out that Apple takes great PRIDE in the fact that they are one of the VERY FEW manufacturers who make routers that behave properly in this regards: they SPECIFICALLY test for their Airport Extreme routers to allow you to connect to servers behind the NAT by way of the public WAN IP address of the NAT box. This is the way that apparently the NAT/DHCP specification is SUPPOSED TO WORK! You're SUPPOSED to be able to connect this way, if you so desire.
So what was causing the problem on my network, then?
Something I hadn't thought about... the Vonage Linksys RTP300 router that we're using for our Vonage VoIP service. Turns out that this router does NOT support clients behind the NAT connecting to servers behind the NAT by way of the public WAN IP address.
Linksys is to blame, not Apple!
And apparently, this feature may have actually been working in an earlier
firmware update, but apparently, Vonage AUTOMATICALLY pushes firmware
updates to RTP300's, apparently without user notification:
<http://www.vonage.com/help.php?article=1066&category=90&nav=5>
And a forum thread on vonage-forums.com seems to indicate that the 1.00.60 firmware in the RTP300 started getting pushed to customer units on or before 1/26/06, making it less than a month after Apple shipped the 5.7 firmware update for AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
<http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic10915.html>. So if the problem cropped up then, it's possible that I accidentally attributed it to Apple when really the RTP300 got a firmware update around then too which may have broken this feature (assuming it was working before then).
