| jdong | alex-weej: dd just fails when it encounters a read error | 05:14 |
| alex-weej | i'm gonna get hold of a hard disk | 05:14 |
| alex-weej | install a fresh copy of ubuntu | 05:15 |

| alex-weej | then what do i do with the image? | 05:15 |
| jdong | alex-weej: save it :) | 05:15 |
| alex-weej | how can i get files out of it? | 05:16 |
| jdong | make a copy of it, mount it loopback, or fsck it, etc | 05:16 |
| alex-weej | i see | 05:16 |
| jdong | always keep an archive of what dd_rhelp was able to pull off | 05:16 |
| alex-weej | ok | 05:16 |
| jdong | because a fsck could improve things, or it could just make things worse | 05:16 |
| alex-weej | it's going to be a looong week waiting for this new HDD | 05:16 |
| jdong | alex-weej: and if you can find an ext2/3 expert, he can probably get mroe data off of the image than a plain fsck | 05:17 |
| alex-weej | lol | 05:17 |
| jdong | alex-weej: as long as you have that image, you have lots and lots of options | 05:17 |
| alex-weej | ok | 05:17 |
| alex-weej | i will stop messing with my disk then | 05:17 |
| jdong | alex-weej: don't laugh -- read the filesystem mailing lists :) | 05:17 |

| alex-weej | i should tell the full story | 05:17 |
| alex-weej | for about a month and a half, kernel has been giving me buffer I/O errors | 05:17 |
| alex-weej | but on my SECOND disk | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | (i.e. my Windows disk) | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | on the same 32 sequential blocks | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | i had finally had it today | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | so i booted windows and told it to do a full disk check | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | an hour and a half later it comes back clean | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | so i boot ubuntu again | 05:18 |
| alex-weej | and then everything starts going wrong | 05:18 |
| jdong | ouch | 05:19 |
| jdong | yeah, at this point definitely don't power the drive more than you need to | 05:19 |
| jdong | you don't know how much life it has left before it completely stops reading :) | 05:19 |
| alex-weej | i ran a test with smartctl on both disks last week | 05:19 |
| alex-weej | this disk was absolutely clean | 05:19 |
| alex-weej | it's scary how fast the problem has come on | 05:20 |

| alex-weej | question, guys | 05:40 |
| alex-weej | people have mentioned hdparm and smartctl to check disk health | 05:40 |
| alex-weej | are there any other tools i should know of? | 05:41 |

| alex-weej | reading about dd_rhelp makes me smile | 05:43 |
| _ion | dd_rhelp rules. | 05:43 |
| jdong | alex-weej: well.... hdparm really isn't that helpful... smartctl can be useful | 05:44 |
| jdong | alex-weej: but remember it's your drive trying to predict its own death... | 05:44 |
| alex-weej | yeah | 05:45 |
| jdong | alex-weej: and dd-rhelp really does rule | 05:45 |
| jdong | alex-weej: it's awesome for recovering scratched CD/DVD's, too | 05:45 |
| alex-weej | i read there are actually 2 "dd rescues" | 05:45 |
| jdong | alex-weej: correct | 05:45 |
| jdong | alex-weej: dd_rhelp works with dd_rescue | 05:45 |
| alex-weej | is GNU dd rescue better than dd_rhelp? | 05:45 |
| jdong | alex-weej: no... | 05:45 |
| jdong | alex-weej: dd_rhelp makes multiple passes over your drive | 05:46 |
| alex-weej | ok i will just try dd_rhelp | 05:46 |
| jdong | alex-weej: it first tries to grab everything that reads without difficulty | 05:46 |
| jdong | then it goes back to the unreadable places and tries again and again | 05:46 |
| jdong | that should maximize your chances of pulling off all the readable data | 05:46 |
| alex-weej | i think i made a bit of a schoolboy error, btw | 05:47 |
| alex-weej | i had a folder with thousands of FLACs, Oggs and MP3s in it | 05:47 |
| alex-weej | it has been reduced to about 159 :( | 05:47 |
| alex-weej | is it bad to fill folders up with lots of files? | 05:47 |
| jdong | alex-weej: not necessarily | 05:48 |
| jdong | alex-weej: some of your filesystem structures are probably unreadable at the moment | 05:48 |
| jdong | which is why your files aren't showing up | 05:48 |
| jdong | having dd_rhelp pull off more readable data would definitely help | 05:48 |
| alex-weej | ok i'm hearing you | 05:48 |
| jdong | and an e2fsck pass over a COPY of the rescued image might help even more | 05:48 |
| alex-weej | got it | 05:49 |
| alex-weej | i've just ordered a 320 GB seagate | 05:49 |
| alex-weej | meaning i can pull off my 120GB partition as an image | 05:49 |
| jdong | cool | 05:49 |
| alex-weej | and make a copy of it | 05:49 |
| jdong | yep that'll give you plenty of room | 05:49 |
| alex-weej | and play with that | 05:49 |
| jdong | give that ailing drive a rest :) | 05:49 |
| alex-weej | i guess i should | 05:49 |
| alex-weej | i just don't wnat it to die in its sleep :( | 05:49 |
| _ion | When a HDD crashes and for some strange reason you don't have a backup of the important data: 0) Create images of the partitions using dd_rhelp. 1) Backup the images. 2) Only after doing that use whatever recovery tool on the images. | 05:50 |
| alex-weej | i was just saying today to a friend how well behaved this computer has been | 05:50 |
| jdong | alex-weej: in my experience the more you use the failing drive the faster it'll fail | 05:50 |
| jdong | having it die in its sleep probably won't happen | 05:50 |
| alex-weej | ok i've got the best i can | 05:50 |
| jdong | it's far more likely that keeping it spinning is worst for it | 05:50 |
| alex-weej | just sucks i'm gonna have to run windows for the next week :E | 05:51 |

| cjwatson | Hobbsee: the /cdimage after cdimage.ubuntu.com is important. | 10:41 |

| Hobbsee | fabbione: well, unless you've changed it so it does :P | 10:45 |
| cjwatson | Hobbsee: also the lack of feisty desktop; there are bits of the build process that require files delivered by d-i even for desktop builds | 10:45 |

| _ion | mithrandir: The generic point is that the events from input devices aren't aggregated to a single device such as /dev/input/mice anymore, but X receives the events from each device separately. That allows X to support everything they're capable of with minimal configuration. | 03:10 |

| iwj | Hah. (Should I be reading that?) | 05:24 |
| cjwatson | more readers wouldn't hurt | 05:25 |
| cjwatson | though it's basically a giant graph | 05:25 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: you've reversed udev and mountdevsubfs in your graph; was that intentional? | 05:27 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: oh, that's in the rationale, never mind | 05:27 |
| === jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | Keybuk: why does that make maintenance easier? | 05:28 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: is it possible that people are relying on the way procps currently comes after module-init-tools? e.g. adding sysctls that are provided by modules? | 05:31 |
| cjwatson | hmm, that's probably a bug in pcmciautils - it uses something in /usr as a fallback | 05:32 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: principally because we mount /dev in two places, and that reduces it to one | 05:32 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: where should brltty go? | 05:33 |
| Keybuk | under udev, I omitted that because it's all in heno's spec | 05:33 |
| Keybuk | and is disabled in the boot sequence | 05:33 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: I'm not sure this really captures updating mtab for the stuff that's mounted before the root filesystem is mountable; at the moment that's done in S22mtab.sh | 05:34 |
| cjwatson | s/mountable/writable/ | 05:34 |
| cjwatson | maybe worth mentioning that | 05:34 |
| cjwatson | brltty> ok | 05:35 |
| cjwatson | well, actually, no | 05:35 |
| cjwatson | it can't always be started by udev | 05:35 |
| cjwatson | not all braille terminals are detectable | 05:35 |
| cjwatson | anyway, that's minor WRT this spec | 05:36 |
| Keybuk | I stress to point out that the graph is just intended to be a "here's what I'm going to try first" | 05:36 |
| Keybuk | does the spec not make that clear? | 05:36 |
| Keybuk | it'll take about 6 months to figure out all the problems and get the graph right :) | 05:36 |
| cjwatson | it does say it's a draft, but I feel free to nitpick drafts in specs :) | 05:36 |
| Keybuk | heh | 05:36 |
| cjwatson | there's no mention of md/lvm/etc. there which seems vaguely important | 05:37 |
| cjwatson | or is that in the udev-* specs? I haven't got to those yet | 05:37 |
| Keybuk | that's all in the udev-* specs | 05:37 |
| === j_ack [n=rudi@p508D929C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| iwj | The use of `started' and `stopped' in those boxes is very confusing. I can see the intent but it would be nice if you would clarify it. | 05:38 |
| cjwatson | the emergency console at present is only fatal if it's the root filesystem that failed its check. Will it be possible to return to the boot sequence if it's a non-root filesystem? | 05:38 |
| iwj | Also, I'm worried that you might be missing some dependencies which were previously expressed implicitly by the initscript ordering. | 05:38 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: I'd argue the loss of /usr is fatal :) | 05:38 |
| iwj | For example, in theory your system could attempt to start various multiuser daemons with the hostname unset and no lo interface. | 05:39 |
| iwj | (Although in practice that doesn't seem likely, it is a race.) | 05:39 |
| cjwatson | it seems to me that there could do with being an explicit separation of the root filesystem in there | 05:39 |
| cjwatson | because a writable root is needed for various other rcSish things | 05:39 |
| === abattoir [n=abattoir@cm57.omega18.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | Keybuk: without /usr, you can still use the stuff on / to recover /usr in a slightly more comfortable environment (e.g. multiple VTs) | 05:40 |

| cjwatson | also, the handling of failures *is* different in checkroot and checkfs | 05:41 |

| jdong | it's a bit time consuming... | 05:42 |

| jdong | oh it isn't? | 05:42 |
| jdong | must not have noticed :) | 05:42 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: also we do need to wait for just / to be writable in order to write /etc/mtab for the other filesystems | 05:43 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: would the spec be easier to approve if I just removed the draft graph entirely, and left it as "here's how I intend to figure all this out" ? | 05:43 |
| cjwatson | but I guess that's too fine detail for the graph | 05:43 |
| Keybuk | otherwise we're getting into bikeshed territory, where every draft will have some error for the next 6 months | 05:43 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: no, I wasn't intending to block on the graph being perfect, and I do think it's useful for it to be in there | 05:43 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: at the same time I think it's valid to try to correct errors early on | 05:43 |

| cjwatson | ah, that's the bug, not the message :) | 05:45 |
| Keybuk | never really worked out why it needed to reboot, tbh | 05:45 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: so I think it would be useful if you mentioned in the spec that md/lvm/evms are handled by the corresponding udev specs, since that's a fairly obvious difference | 05:46 |
| Keybuk | ok | 05:46 |
| Keybuk | could you add a list of comments that need to be addressed to the bottom of the spec | 05:46 |

| shreeve | how do I find the name of the person packaging ipw3945 wireless drivers for xen on edgy??? | 09:42 |
| zul | whats wrong? | 09:45 |
| shreeve | edgy's xen kernel module for ipw3945 wireless driver doesn't work | 09:47 |
| shreeve | spent a LONG time working on it... | 09:47 |
| zul | its probably not xen enabled | 09:48 |
| shreeve | the non-xen version (ie - "normal" edgy) works fine | 09:48 |
| shreeve | okay... is there a way to check? | 09:48 |
| zul | dont think so | 09:48 |
| shreeve | well... it *is* part of the xen package for edgy... seems like pretty bad form to get confused, no>? | 09:49 |
| shreeve | what's the 'dpkg' or 'apt-blah' command to see the package info? | 09:49 |
| zul | shreeve: no its apart of universe and we ran out of time to get it working sorry.. | 09:50 |
| shreeve | whoa! | 09:50 |
| shreeve | you're the right guy to ask then, right? | 09:50 |

| shreeve | gotcha... looks like "apt-cache show" is also a superset of "dpkg -p" | 09:55 |
| shreeve | so... i'll use "apt-cache show" and "apt-cache showpkg" | 09:55 |
| cjwatson | right, apt-cache show looks in slightly different places but they wind up being more or less equivalent | 09:57 |
| cjwatson | (oh, dpkg -p prints what's available for installation, dpkg -s prints what's actually installed. apt-cache show prints both if they're different) | 09:57 |

| jdong | shreeve: looking at the xen mailing list it seems like it's a general issue with wifi and xen, not restricted to just the ip3945 | 10:15 |
| shreeve | jdong - what about this, though: | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # To bridge network traffic, like this: | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # dom0: fake eth0 -> vif0.0 -+ | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # | | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # bridge -> real eth0 -> the network | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # | | 10:15 |
| shreeve | # domU: fake eth0 -> vifN.0 -+ | 10:15 |
| shreeve | doesn't dom0 have to "go through" the bridge anyway? | 10:15 |
| jdong | shreeve: I've always attached dom0 directly to the real eth1 | 10:16 |
| shreeve | can you show me what you do for that? | 10:16 |
| jdong | as soon as you throw in a fake adaptor you'll lose networking | 10:16 |
| jdong | shreeve: unfortunately, don't specify any bridging or vif scripts :-/ | 10:16 |
| shreeve | so... do your domU's ever even get networking? | 10:16 |
| jdong | not currently | 10:16 |
| jdong | I'm still working on that part :D | 10:16 |

| pitti | sfllaw: ugly, but working | 11:22 |
| pitti | tracks stuff fully automatically from changelogs, archive information, and CVE db import | 11:22 |
| sfllaw | Do you ever need help testing fixes? | 11:23 |
| sfllaw | Or is the workload OK? | 11:23 |
| pitti | well, 'fully' -> with a manual override db, of course | 11:23 |
| cjwatson | ogra: er - useful data point but unlikely to be entirely indicative. the only way to work out what's going on is debugging directly on cdimage really | 11:23 |
| pitti | sfllaw: from my POV the trouble was mainly not knowing a package, less not having time to test it | 11:23 |
| pitti | sfllaw: i. e. I always have difficulties testing an openldap or a quagga security update | 11:24 |
| pitti | sfllaw: but these are excellent candidates for test suites, too | 11:24 |
| keescook | I pulled my hair out on the openldap update. | 11:24 |
| sfllaw | We actually have an openldap installation here in Montreal. | 11:24 |
| keescook | Next time I'll have the tests automated. | 11:24 |
| sfllaw | Fair enough. | 11:24 |
| ogra | cjwatson, thats what i suspected ... | 11:24 |
| pitti | yeah, it's a pain to write the tests, but it decentralizes knowledge and in the end provides better testing, I hope | 11:24 |
| sfllaw | Do you guys also do general regression testing? | 11:25 |
| cjwatson | ogra: ah, it's just some incorrect priorities | 11:25 |
| sfllaw | To make sure you changes didn't break the package? | 11:25 |
| cjwatson | I'll fix those in the archive | 11:25 |

| pitti | sfllaw: not sure what you mean; we test exploits (when available) and we test for potential regressions that can be introduced by a patch | 11:26 |
| cjwatson | or, er, something went weird. tcpd *should* be in standard I think | 11:26 |
| pitti | sfllaw: but we do not test for regressions from dapper to edgy, or sth. like that | 11:26 |
| keescook | sfllaw: I try to test general (common) functionality, and then I try to test the code paths impacted by the update | 11:26 |
| ogra | cjwatson, pitti, the sshd cipher=none change isnt in ltsp-local-apps, but i know sbalneav and jammcq would very much appreciate it to be enabled in feisty so ltsp could drop xdmcp completely | 11:26 |
| sfllaw | pitti, keescook: OK, good enough. | 11:26 |
| tkamppeter | A big thank you to all laptop stuff developers at Ubuntu: I installed Edgy on the HP Compaq nc4200 and everything simply works: Suspend, Hibernate, battery level, even the help button and the volume buttons. Mandriva 2OO7 was a fight on this laptop. ACPI pulled all CPU, no Suspend no Hibernate, but nice #D Desktop (Compiz). | 11:27 |
| Ubugtu | Mandriva bug 2 in program "Warning messages appeared while loading xemacs" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2 | 11:27 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: wow, great | 11:27 |
| cjwatson | ogra: yeah, I've already talked with them about it; it is a dubious change from my POV, and upstream has always refused it, so I need to investigate again | 11:27 |
| sfllaw | Yeha, you guys rock. | 11:27 |
| sfllaw | If only my T60p worked right. :) | 11:28 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: the 'help' button really surprises me (although it's certainly the least important bit) | 11:28 |
| ogra | cjwatson, jammcq seemed to have the impression from a talk wih mdz that it would be trivial ... | 11:28 |
| cjwatson | ogra: he's wrong | 11:28 |
| ogra | i know | 11:28 |
| cjwatson | at least I'm pretty convinced about that | 11:28 |
| ogra | but thats how he took it to me | 11:28 |
| mdz | the change is trivial, it's just controversial | 11:28 |
| cjwatson | but, like I say, I need to read up on it again; it's been a while | 11:28 |
| cjwatson | I'm pretty sure it's not as trivial as it looks in SSH2 | 11:29 |
| keescook | cjwatson: do you know when the next TB meeting is likely to be? I want to make sure I'm there. :) | 11:29 |
| mdz | in fact my understanding is that the code is there #ifdef'd out | 11:29 |
| cjwatson | keescook: /me <- not TB | 11:29 |
| cjwatson | mdz: (IIRC) because it's disallowed by the protocol | 11:29 |
| cjwatson | my memory is that "none" means "nothing selected" rather than "the null cipher selected" | 11:30 |
| cjwatson | but, as I say, need to check | 11:30 |

| sfllaw | So if you have a solution, mdz, to your concerns. I'd be happy to write it in. | 11:31 |
| === pitti defends against presence requests from his gf | ||
| cjwatson | hmm, I think Scott bodged up the netbase merge | 11:31 |
| mdz | what I need is for it to be completely open participation, without a prerequisite of reading up on our processes before installation | 11:31 |
| pitti | sfllaw: the solution is pretty clear, it just involves some work | 11:31 |
| mdz | it should be feedback-driven, not test-driven | 11:31 |
| mdz | i.e., the user installs and then tells us what worked | 11:31 |
| mdz | rather than selecting a profile in advance and testing that | 11:32 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, one of the Ubuntu laptop developers seems to have exactly this notebook .. | 11:32 |
| pitti | sfllaw: i. e. we need to teach ubiquity to do a cdebconf-like logging, and then feed the d-i/ubiquity log to the web frontend, which can then categorize it and save the data | 11:32 |
| pitti | mdz: ^ that's what I understood from our previous discussion | 11:32 |
| mdz | it doesn't need to be the log, just a summary | 11:32 |
| mdz | which can be in a simple parseable format | 11:32 |
| pitti | mdz: well, just like cdebconf | 11:32 |
| mdz | pitti: more like the ubiquity summary screen data | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | full database-like output is not really all that trivial, but we can do like mdz says | 11:33 |
| pitti | mdz: i. e answers to all questions, in whatever format | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | pitti: the full database will give you a huge load of crap from the livefs | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | and not everything ubiquity does is asked via debconf | 11:33 |
| mdz | right, we're only interested in ubiquity's own parameters | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | so you kind of lose | 11:33 |
| pitti | I see | 11:33 |
| sfllaw | Does this extend to d-i as well? And update-manager? | 11:33 |
| cjwatson | but we can do something similar if you don't require a debconf database as output | 11:33 |
| sfllaw | Do we care about this being automated? | 11:33 |
| mdz | given that, we should be able to easily run queries on the data to assess test coverage | 11:33 |
| sfllaw | Or can we just describe properties? | 11:34 |
| cjwatson | sfllaw: everything d-i does is via debconf | 11:34 |
| pitti | sfllaw: for upgrades it becomes tricky, I guess | 11:34 |
| cjwatson | sfllaw: update-manager not so | 11:34 |
| mdz | much more efficiently than the wiki page | 11:34 |
| sfllaw | Like "Paritioning hard disks" | 11:34 |
| sfllaw | Or "Installing boot loader" | 11:34 |
| mdz | and we'll benefit from all the coverage from informal testers | 11:34 |
| cjwatson | sfllaw: I don't understand; what about those? | 11:34 |
| mdz | sfllaw: extending it to update-manager is a great idea | 11:34 |
| mdz | sfllaw: though mvo is pretty busy for feisty | 11:34 |
| sfllaw | My concern is that we get something for Feisty. | 11:35 |
| sfllaw | And we need to be able to test upgrades and record them. | 11:35 |
| sfllaw | Can we use something that doesn't have to be driven automatically? | 11:35 |
| sfllaw | So instead of test cases that people follow... | 11:35 |
| pitti | it would rock if we could grab the dpkg --get-selection (or similar) before and after the upgrade | 11:35 |
| mdz | I think we'll get more out of the automated upgrade testing than automated user feedback for upgrades | 11:35 |
| sfllaw | We instead have properties that your automated tools can report succeeded? | 11:35 |
| mdz | but automated user feedback for installs will be a huge win, because we don't get enough from automation there and it's harder to automate | 11:36 |
| === mpt [n=mpt@121-72-128-96.dsl.telstraclear.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | pitti: the status file | 11:36 |
| mdz | pitti: this is already how mvo's testing will work so we can try to replicate it | 11:36 |
| pitti | mdz: yeah, with some filtering to make it smaller | 11:36 |
| mdz | sfllaw: I don't follow | 11:36 |
| sfllaw | I don't see my proposal as being in contention with yours. | 11:36 |
| sfllaw | We define a series of properties that constitute a successful install. | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | Booted into the LiveCD. | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | Run ubiquity. | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | Pick a timezone. | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | Etc. | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | And we _could_ extract success from logs. | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | Or we could have people check off whether it worked or not. | 11:37 |
| mdz | that's precisely what I suggested | 11:37 |
| sfllaw | And if it didn't work, provide a bug number. | 11:37 |
| mdz | my other mumbling was about upgrade testing, which is a separate matter | 11:38 |
| pitti | sfllaw: yeah, just the spec currently says that the user has to select a predefined test case in the webui? | 11:38 |
| sfllaw | Well, upgrade testing is similar, if we can just have people run by hand. | 11:38 |
| sfllaw | And submit results bases on whether upgrade-manager worked properly or not. | 11:38 |
| mdz | it's similar, but it needs to be added to update-manager rather than ubiquity | 11:38 |
| mdz | it's additional development | 11:38 |
| sfllaw | What I'm saying is that you don't actually need to edit ubiquity or update-manager. | 11:38 |
| sfllaw | That's just a bonus if we have time. | 11:39 |
| mdz | and I fully support doing it, but installation is more important and so if we can only do one for feisty, it should be that | 11:39 |
| pitti | sfllaw: how else do you want to get the user's answers from ubiquity? parsing it's current log file is certainly not fun | 11:39 |
| mdz | making this a one-click operation in ubiquity will get us orders of magnitude more feedback than any manual approach | 11:39 |
| pitti | not to mention, subject to change | 11:39 |
| sfllaw | mdz: Sure. But the manual approach is stil an order of magnitude better than the current one. | 11:40 |
| pitti | mdz: 'this an one-click thing' -> reporting install success? that's too early IMHO | 11:40 |
| sfllaw | And we need some manual override for passes. | 11:40 |
| sfllaw | Like the timezone dialog selector in GNOME Ubiquity is broken. | 11:40 |
| sfllaw | But Ubiquity could never tell us that. | 11:40 |
| mdz | the goal of this is to take advantage of "passive" testing by the community at large, and lower the barrier to entry for active testing | 11:40 |
| cjwatson | pitti: that can be fixed | 11:40 |
| cjwatson | pitti: and should be, I think | 11:40 |
| pitti | cjwatson: what do you mean? | 11:41 |
| mdz | pitti: right, not in ubiquity itself but integrated with it | 11:41 |
| mdz | ubiquity should arrange for the user to be notified when they login to report their installation success to us | 11:41 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I mean that giving feedback when ubiquity is still running is too early | 11:41 |
| sfllaw | mdz: I'm not against passive testing at all. I just want to concentrate on getting the easy (web part) done first. | 11:41 |
| mdz | likewise for update-manager after the reboot | 11:41 |
| cjwatson | pitti: I'm disagreeing with sfllaw; while I suppose strictly you don't have to edit ubiquity to do this, it would be massively better if we did. | 11:41 |
| pitti | we cannot decide whether the isntall was a success before we actually booted the system | 11:41 |
| cjwatson | pitti: yes, I know | 11:41 |
| mdz | sfllaw: I think it's a similar amount of work either way | 11:41 |
| cjwatson | pitti: I mean improving ubiquity's logging to be more parseable | 11:41 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ah, ok; sorry, that was a misunderstanding | 11:41 |
| mdz | and we get much better price/performance from the integrated approach than the web form | 11:42 |
| sfllaw | mdz: I'm more concerned with user-visible problems, which we will throw away if we can't track them. | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | sfllaw: (not disagreeing with your point about the timezone dialog thing, although note that we're probably going to remove the set time... button for feisty; it's not worth the hassle it causes) | 11:42 |
| sfllaw | Unless cjwatson writes a huge test suite for Ubiquity. | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | (I mean not disagreeing with your general point about manual overrides for passes | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | ) | 11:43 |
| mdz | sfllaw: user-visible problems should be filed in launchpad | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | well, I'd love to, and lifeless would love me to :) | 11:43 |
| sfllaw | But they need to be tracked by the release managers. | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | but time, as usual. will probably get done incrementally | 11:43 |

| cjwatson | ok, I think tcpd and libwrap0 have in fact legitimately fallen out of minimal. nat | 11:44 |
| sfllaw | Isn't the point of this spec to replace Testing/Current with something more useful? | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | neat | 11:44 |
| mdz | sfllaw: yes | 11:44 |
| sfllaw | mdz: I'd hate to see a regression from Testing/Current, which is super primitive. | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | now, what about x11-common ... | 11:44 |
| mdz | not to replace the milestone bug list | 11:44 |
| pedr0 | hi!i need information for changed in GRUB loader the O.S. | 11:45 |

| pedr0 | what is the metod for setting the GRUB loader,i want change the priority of Operativ System | 11:45 |
| pedr0 | ? | 11:46 |

| cjwatson | pedr0: #ubuntu for support, please | 11:46 |
| HrdwrBoB | pedr0: you want #ubuntu | 11:46 |
| mdz | sfllaw: I think we're talking about complementary parts of the problem | 11:46 |
| mdz | I'm talking about success reports, and you're talking about failure reports | 11:46 |
| sfllaw | Yes. | 11:46 |
| sfllaw | I don't care very much about successes. I only care about failures. When no failures occur, we're good. | 11:47 |
| sfllaw | False reports of success do us harm. | 11:47 |
| pitti | well, but successes are important | 11:47 |
| pitti | to see coverage | 11:47 |
| mdz | exactly | 11:47 |
| pitti | i. e. success reports, of course | 11:47 |
| mdz | currently our test coverage is limited | 11:47 |
| mdz | this lets us expand it | 11:47 |
| mdz | the process for reporting failures is pretty straightforward at present (bug reports) | 11:48 |
| mdz | reporting successes is a wiki-intensive operation in which practically no one outside of Canonical participates | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | Mithrandir: alternates should build better following the next publisher run | 11:49 |
| === AsinoVolante [n=AsinoVol@81-178-94-116.dsl.pipex.com] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] | ||
| sfllaw | mdz: I am skeptical that providing success reports culled by a naive program is useful in determining proper coverage. | 11:49 |
| sfllaw | But I no longer want to argue this point. | 11:49 |
| mdz | a failure could be anything from a ubiquity crash to the system failing to boot entirely; I don't see how a web form to report failures does better than bug-reporting-tool for that | 11:49 |
| sfllaw | Because it lets us correlate where the failures are, from a limited scope, for installations and upgrades. | 11:50 |
| sfllaw | I.e. some comprehensible domain. | 11:50 |
| === LinuxBA [n=alexos@201.32.245.119] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | please explain | 11:50 |
| pitti | I agree with mdz that reporting bugs in particular apps should be kept out of installation reports | 11:50 |
| pitti | but things like 'ubiquity installed a system that failed too boot' is definitively an installer thing | 11:51 |
| pitti | and thus should be covered by the report | 11:51 |

| sfllaw | Is Malone good enough for you guys? | 11:52 |
| mdz | if installation bug reports don't have enough data for installation bugs, we should address that | 11:52 |
| mdz | bug-reporting-tool provides the infrastructure to add detail to them | 11:53 |
| sfllaw | All right. Then I have no further objections. | 11:53 |
| mdz | I understand your position now | 11:54 |
| pitti | so we replace the installation-feedback package with some bits that ubiquity puts into the user's session? | 11:54 |
| mdz | I think we can do both | 11:54 |
| pitti | what would cover upgrade testing then? integration into u-manager? | 11:55 |
| mdz | and in the case of upgrades, we can have failure reports filed automatically in many cases, but I don't think we have time to do that for feisty | 11:55 |
| pitti | mdz: u-m doesn't cover upgrades with apt-get/aptitude, though | 11:55 |
| mdz | pitti: it's not meant to | 11:55 |

| lifeless | pitti: I agree that not caring is bad. I care, but we should optimise the reporting for the bulk of cases. | 11:58 |
| pitti | agreed | 11:58 |
| sfllaw | mdz: If we encourage more people to file reports, is there any reliable channel for triagers to hint that a bug is an RC installation bug? | 11:58 |
| sfllaw | mdz: Even if it isn't a ubiquity of d-i one? | 11:58 |
| sfllaw | And should be targetted for Feisty? | 11:58 |
| mdz | sfllaw: yes, the milestone field | 11:58 |
| sfllaw | Can triagers set that? | 11:58 |
| mdz | the fact that it's an installation bug is incidental; it's either release targeted or not | 11:58 |
| mdz | yes | 11:58 |
| sfllaw | OK. I thought that was just me. | 11:59 |
| sfllaw | Thanks. | 11:59 |
| sfllaw | That will be documented. | 11:59 |
| mdz | ubuntu-qa should be able to set that | 11:59 |
| pitti | ok, so if we don't want to automatically report apt-get/aptitude dist-upgrades, then we don't need the new package | 11:59 |
| pitti | installation-feedback was specifically introduced to the spec to cover this case | 11:59 |
| sfllaw | pitti: Doesn't xubuntu not use update-manager? | 11:59 |
| sfllaw | pitti: Or is that something we will consider later? | 12:00 |
| pitti | so something more lightweight placed by ubiquity/d-i would work as well | 12:00 |
| pitti | sfllaw: I'm not sure TBH | 12:00 |
| lifeless | sfllaw: whats the mail-volume of being in ubuntu-qa ? | 12:00 |
