cjwatson_hi, sorry about that, n-m decided to hate me05:04
mdzcjwatson_: ok, everyone here on your side?05:04
cjwatsonmissing BenC, rtg05:05
mdzok, we're already behind, let's get started05:05
cjwatsonBenC and rtg are still travelling so are excused05:06
mdzcjwatson: they're both still traveling05:06
cjwatsonI'd forgotten that extended to today05:06
mdz(Riddell) Are the changes needed for abbatoir's oem installer going to get in? If not should we try for a basic qt 4 port?05:06
cjwatsonI've been working on that today05:06
Riddellquestion to cjwatson05:06
Riddellooh?05:06
cjwatsonshould be done RSN; I'd like that to get in05:07
mdzwhat is abbatoir's oem installer?05:07
Riddellok, excellent, we'll wait for that then05:07
cjwatsonoem doesn't see much testing until beta anyway, realistically05:07
cjwatsonmdz: it's a rework of the oem-config kde ui05:07
mdzRiddell: is that all?05:08
Riddellyes thanks05:08
mdz(iwj) Is anyone doing regular rebuild testing ? autopkgtest could do this quite easily - atm I've explicitly disabled that by telling it to test the binaries from the archive rather than doing a build. Should I turn this on ? If I do it's not likely to go through the alphabet very fast but it will give us a chance to argue about what to do with the notifications.05:08
mdziwj: this is supposed to be provided by Canonical IS on a periodic basis; there's a rough outline of a process in the wiki05:09
iwjThere's also the question of whether we want to test the binaries actually in the archive, or ones built specially.05:09
pittiwould it be possible to do it the other way round?05:09
mdziwj: they set up a katie/wanna-build instance and use that05:09
=== mvo does semi-automatic install tests
pittii. e. add autopkgtest to our already existing rebuild tests05:09
pitti?05:09
mdzpotentially, yes05:09
iwjmdz: https://wiki.canonical.com/RebuildTestProcess ?05:09
=== ogra_ [n=ogra@p548AD65E.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
tfheen_there has been some recent trouble with the last couple rounds of rebuild testing, and it should ideally happen in a fairly tight timeframe.05:09
iwjSounds a bit ad-hoc.05:09
mdziwj: cf. "rough outline" above05:10
iwjmdz: Right.05:10
iwjpitti: That's a definite possibility, yes.05:10
mdzI saw in #-devel that there is some doubt about whether the testing has begun?05:10
tfheen_also, that process is just the interface, it's not how it's implemented.05:10
iwjNB that autopkgtest tends to do it one package at a time; that wiki page seems to suggest a from-ground up rebuild of everything (from some known bootstrap?)05:10
iwjmdz: I haven't been reading #-devel much today.05:10
mdztfheen_: right, that part needs to be provided by IS05:11
mdztfheen_: there was to have been a rebuild test on 8 Feb.05:11
mdzdid that happen?05:11
iwjMy cron job ran for the first time last night but basically no packages have tests so it's just makework.05:11
iwjAFAIAA only dovecot and mawk have tests so far.05:11
tfheen_mdz: last time I spoke with Adam (which admittedly is some time ago) the last round of rebuild testing happened, but I haven't actually gotten the results anywhere.05:11
mdziwj: how so?  is it not installing and uninstalling the packages and checking the results?05:11
mdztfheen_: it seems unlikely that nothing failed05:12
tfheen_mdz: something is bound to have failed, I have just failed to get in touch with Adam.  I'll try again, this time cc-ing elmo.05:12
mdztfheen_: CC me as well05:12
tfheen_sure05:12
iwjmdz: Well, atm it has optimised out the install the package step since there aren't any tests.05:12
mdziwj: it should not do that05:13
iwjI could change the command-line arguments to make it install the packages unconditionally.05:13
tfheen_ACTION: tfheen to get rebuild test results, To: \infty; Cc: mdz, elmo05:13
mdzinstalling the package is one of the most valuable tests of all, intrinsically05:13
iwjmdz: Right.05:13
mvoiwj: what scope do you currently test? main only?05:13
iwjI think I should perhaps talk to the IS people about what these rebuild tests consist of ?05:13
mdzand removal, too, since that isn't tested as often in the field05:13
iwjmvo: Yes.05:13
tfheen_basically having something like piuparts would be useful.05:13
iwjmdz: Right.05:13
iwjtfheen_: I haven't yet looked seriously at cannibalising piuparts (or indeed reimplementing it if that's quicker).05:14
iwjBut it would be a nice fit.05:14
mdzsomeone ran piuparts over the archive a little while ago, and found a stack of failures05:14
mdzthe output was a bit difficult to work with though05:14
tfheen_piuparts doesn't pay attention to dependencies, so cascading can easily give false positives.05:15
mdzhrm05:15
tfheen_(say x11-common isn't clean, anything depending on x11-common would be marked as unclean)05:15
mdzoh, I see05:15
dholbachhttp://www.nabble.com/FTBFS-and-piuparts-failures-lists-for-feisty-t3159699.html05:15
iwjtfheen_: Ah.  I do have some tracking of what things might be responsible but it's probably not quite strong enough to avoid all consequetial false positives.05:15
ogra_it also needs proper blacklisting ...05:15
mvoI have some code as part of the auto-upgradetester that tests installability of large amounts of packages (basily testing a feisty->feisty upgrade)05:16
ogra_ltsp-client isnt installable outside a chroot ... but puiparts tries it anyway ...05:16
mdzmvo: oh, that's useful05:16
mdzmvo: is that running in the DC yet?05:16
mvomdz: this one is pretty new, it runs on my machine currently05:17
=== Lure [n=lure@clj46-234.dial-up.arnes.si] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzmvo: but the regular upgrade test is in the DC now?05:17
mvomdz: but i plan to move it over soon05:17
mvomdz: yes, it runs regularly with hicups sometimes05:17
mvoit was e.g. bitten by the xorg priority bug05:17
iwjI haven't had a reply to my RT ticket about autopkgtest in the DC (not that surprising, since it was long and will involve some decisions).05:17
mdzthat's good05:17
mvoendless loops in maintainer scripts currently need resolving by hand05:18
=== mvo needs to write some watchdog code for this
Keybukiwj: what is the RT# ?05:18
mdzI need to have a look through what's in RT05:18
mdzACTION: mdz to review RT queue05:18
iwjKeybuk: 2699305:18
iwjIt's been err about a week.05:18
iwjNo, two.05:18
iwjendless loops> kill the Xen VM :-).05:19
=== Kunibert86 [n=peter@wh0.cottbus-plus.de] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
tfheen_yeah, xen makes that a lot easier.05:19
mvoiwj: I need to "borrow" the xen bits from you05:19
mdzok, so tollef is going to follow up regarding the rebuild test.  ready to move on?05:19
iwjmvo: Sure, they don't need borrowing - there're two interfaces.05:20
=== v0xel [n=v0xel@ppp194-2.vdial.verat.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzcjwatson/bdmurray: outstanding actions?05:20
iwjmdz: So the answer to my Q is no, I shouldn't do rebuild tests.  But I should do installs.05:20
cjwatsonmailed the list earlier regarding those05:20
mvoiwj: lets talk about this offline :)05:20
iwjmvo: Right.05:20
mdziwj: the answer is that they're supposed to happen by other means, but we need to reconfirm.  we may find that we need to do them ourselves somehow05:21
mdzRiddell,tfheen_: KDE 4 in NEW?05:21
iwjmdz: OK.  I'll not start doing them until someone tells me otherwise.05:21
mdzUbugtu: thanks05:21
iwjACTION: iwj to tell autopkgtest to install things even if they have no tests to run.05:21
cjwatsonbugsquad docs in UbuntuDevelopment are written (though still a bit rough; bdmurray had comments), I investigated 63175 a bit, talked with scott, and then scott asked mvo to do the rest05:21
mdzRiddell: is that blocking anything for beta?05:22
Riddellmdz: no, although libkexiv2 will (blocks new digikam)05:22
tfheen_iwj: if we don't have better control of the rebuild tests for feisty+1, I would like us to do it internally.05:22
iwjtfheen_: Right.05:22
mvocjwatson: I have no news on 63175 yet, sorry05:23
mdzRiddell: and the new upgrader definitely needs to be in and tested for beta05:23
RiddellI agree05:23
cjwatsonmvo: it was about an hour or two ago, that's fine ;-)05:23
pitti(FYI, new KDE dist-upgrader is in edgy-proposed now)05:23
mvo:)05:23
mdzmvo: do you (have cycles to) test Kubuntu upgrades?05:24
tfheen_there was a licence question about libkexiv2, but that has been resolved to my satisfaction now, so it just needs to be waved through.05:24
mvomdz: its on my list for sru-verification, I will do it this week05:24
Riddelltfheen_: I didn't hear about that, looking forward to having it waved through05:25
pittimvo: NB that one 'works for me' is not enough for me in the KDE dist-upgrader case; I want at least ten different success reports05:25
tfheen_Riddell: or rather, digikam, the jasper / jpeg2k patent issue.05:25
mvopitti: I have read that, I plan to be one of the ten :)05:26
Riddellwe have people in #kubuntu-testers eager to help testing it05:26
Riddelltfheen_: oh, right yes05:26
mdzshould be straightforward to arrange testing now that it's in -proposed05:26
mdzcjwatson: what's the final outcome on the ubiquity advanced partitioner for feisty?05:26
cjwatsonit's in, disk bar will have to wait 'til next time05:27
cjwatsonit's reasonably usable without, and certainly better than the old partitioner05:27
cjwatsonif necessary I'll work around problems with explanatory text05:27
mdzdoko/pitti: will the maintainer field changes be completed for beta?05:28
cjwatsonthere's one bit of validation I need to add for beta, and some issues with formatting swap and such, but it's largely ok05:28
dokomdz: yes05:28
pittimdz: yes, as long as doko finishes his rebuilds soon05:28
pittidoko: what's your ETA?05:28
mdzok, good05:28
dokopitti: doday05:28
dokobah05:28
pittiI need to do ~ 40 rebuilds05:28
mdzpitti: is your livefs change request in RT?05:28
pittimdz: no, it's not05:29
pittiI was going to ask who else can access this script05:29
mdzpitti: I think it ought to be05:29
pittiok05:29
mdzpitti: I expect that anyone with root can05:29
pittiit started out with a simple 'yes, I'll do it later' change, sorry05:29
mdzwhat we want for that is for the scripts to be in bzr05:29
mdzso we can just ask for merges05:29

dholbachmdz: they should be in the archive now - just start oowriter05:31
mdzpitti: is restricted-manager on track for beta?  that's when it will see the most testing05:31
mdzdholbach: I've had oowriter running for weeks ;-)05:31
pittimdz: today I got it to configure nvidia with a single click05:31
pittibut I need someone with ATI to tell me the necessary steps05:32
mdzvery nice, I like the splash too05:32
tfheen_mdz: iirc, the livefs.sh script is in baz.05:32
cjwatsonit is05:32

pittiKeybuk: but certainly r-m should be able to configure the fglrx driver?05:32

mdzpitti: I'll be among the first to test that once it's in the archive; my desktop is now nvidia05:33
Keybukmdz: ouch, you have my sympathy05:33
pittiKeybuk: I thought about sth. like a generric 'restricted-manager --check-for-better-driver'05:33
ogra_poor boy05:33
mdzpitti: this meeting would be a good place to ask for an ATI tester05:33
bdmurrayI have an ATI card05:33
mdzI have an ATI chipset in my laptop, but it doesn't require fglrx05:33
mdzI suppose I could still test though05:33
mvoI have one in my laptop05:33
mdzpitti: does it also support undoing its changes?05:33
=== ogra_ could only test with an r200 which si supported poorly by both drivers
pittimvo: you are voluntold :)05:33
seb128I can do testing on my desktop05:34
pittimdz: yes, if you disable the driver, you'll get back to the previous one05:34
asaciirc i have ati in my laptop as welll ... i could use that for testing as it needs to be wiped anyway at some point.05:34
pittimdz: well, right now it's s/previous/nv for nvidia/05:34
ogra_pitti, that also handles the fglrx mesa breakage ?05:34
pittiogra_: as I said, ATM it does not do *anything* to configure fglrx05:34

Keybukogra appears to be volunteering to help :p05:35
mdzpitti: I seem to recall the script for fglrx going missing or never quite being written05:35
ogra_Keybuk, i'm willing to help testing :)05:35
=== pitti wonders where restricted-manager 0.3 went to -- I uploaded it hours ago
tfheen_cjwatson: the current one on the buildds should be extracted for comparison.05:35
mdzcjwatson: that's obsolete; there are changes in production which aren't in revision control05:35
cjwatsonplausible05:35
mdzthat's what I heard from infinity05:35
Keybukpitti: it's published05:35
pittioh, indeed; ah, I only have the de. mirror for universe05:36
pittimdz: happy testing then05:36
=== Ubugtu [n=bugbot@ubuntu/bot/ubugtu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzpitti: it should be almost identical to nvidia05:36
mdzswap drivers, install the GL libraries05:36
mdzafaik, I've never used it05:36
mvoIIRC there is some option that needs to be set for fglrx to make it work05:37
pittimdz: no magic driver options and such? anyway, I'll figure it out, plenty of testers above :)05:37
Keybukmdz: then curse about once a week when your X server dies at the worst possible moment :-/05:37
ogra_mdz, ati doesnt work anymore as long as fglrx is installed ...05:37
mvo    Option "Composite" "false"05:37
ogra_fglrx replaces the GL lobs and hogs them05:37
ogra_*libs05:37
=== banksg [n=chan@218.19.96.111] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pittimvo: that doesn't sound quite right for compiz OOTB :/05:37
ogra_so you cant easily switch back and forth without uninstalling fglrx05:37
Keybukpitti: compiz doesn't work with fglrx05:38
pittiogra_: same with nvidia; r-m now installs the required packages05:38
pittiand removes them again05:38
ogra_ah, cool05:38
mdzogra_: nvidia is the same05:38
seb128I'll likely use the no-tfp patch for compiz to make it work with fglrx05:38
bdmurrayIs there any good pretty desktop documentation?05:38
tfheen_or we could rework the modules so r-m does the alternatives handling rather than nvidia-glx itself05:38
pittiKeybuk: ah, that's why you only want nvidia integration into desktop-effects?05:38
mvopitti: the recipt I send you worked for install/remove?05:38
Keybukpitti: exactly05:38
pittiKeybuk: good to know05:38
pittimvo: yup, works fine05:39
pittimvo: (recipe, btw)05:39
Keybukfglrx doesn't support the necessary bits to make composite and compositors work05:39
mdzseb128: oh? interesting05:39
mdzseb128: is that the same patch used in beryl?05:39
Keybukif your card is supported by the ati driver, it's always better than fglrx05:39
mdztfheen_: yes, in feisty+1 we're likely to want to have the drivers all preinstalled, but this is a good incremental step05:40
seb128mdz: yes05:40
pittiKeybuk: anyway, I think we should bundle this special knowledge into r-m and make the --check-for-composite-driver-whatever DTRT05:40
pittiKeybuk: and just call this in d-e05:40
Keybuk*nods*05:40
mdzpitti: so I should wait for restricted-manager 0.3 and test that with desktop-effects?05:40
pittimdz: r-m 0.3 is in feisty, and as I said, it's not yet intertwined with desktop-effects; you have to start it from the menu so far05:41
mdzpitti: oh, I thought you said you uploaded it but didn't see it enter the archive05:41
pittimdz: that was wrong, I looked at the German mirror05:41
mdzah05:41
pittiI usually don't need universe crack of the minute05:41
mdzheh05:42
mdzok, is there any other business for the meeting?05:42
ogra_yes05:42
henoiso testing05:42
ogra_any word about SoC from our management or CTO ?05:42
ogra_:)05:42
Riddelldoko said he was doing it05:42
cjwatsonI have something as well re launchpad downtime from kiko05:42
cjwatsondoko and Keybuk are handling SoC jointly05:43
dokoogra_: doing that ...05:43
Keybukogra: we're participating as usual; doko and I will be jointly managing it05:43
ogra_Keybuk, doko thanks for taking it ! :)05:43
dokoKeybuk: let's schedule a phone call for tomorrow please05:43
mdzthey'll send out announcements when there is something to announce05:43
ogra_i didnt know if we do it at all this time05:43
Keybukdoko: jinx, just /msg'd you the same thing05:43
ogra_there was no talking about it anywhere, thats why i asked05:43
mdz(heno) We should do a round of ISO testing before beta freeze to flush out some bugs early. (see Testing/Matrix)05:43
Keybukogra: it's only just been announced by Google05:44
henofrom my email to the distro list: We've decided to start beta testing early this cycle! The idea is to get05:44
henosome ISO testing done before the beta freeze to flush out some bugs05:44
henobefore the release crunch.05:44
heno...05:44
henoFor the first (pre-beta-freeze) test cycle, please download daily images05:44
henoin the period Friday-Monday, and test as you normally would with the05:44
henomilestone candidates.05:44
ogra_Keybuk, well, leslie is already pretty busy on the SoC list ;)05:44
mdzit seems like a good idea to do a quick validation test before we freeze, so that we can chase out obvious bugs before we enter the beta release crunch05:44
Keybukogra: really? she's supposed to be away this week <g>05:44
mdzthe idea is that we do this just like we do for beta/RC/final, with everyone doing a few test cases05:44
ogra_haha05:45
=== somerville32 [n=chatzill@ubuntu/member/somerville32] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzso that the round of testing during the freeze goes more smoothly05:45
mdzheno: so will you match people up with a set of test cases based on their hardware?05:45
henoI've made a start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Matrix05:46
mdzoh, good05:46
henobut it needs some feedback05:46
mdzACTION: everyone to confirm their test cases on Testing/Matrix05:46
mdzheno: I don't think I'll be able to test WinFOSS this time around, since I'm not in the office (no windows at home)05:47
henoThat was one of my questions: who has windows? :)05:47
tfheenI do, I guess I could do winfoss05:47
RiddellI do05:47
ogra_i have winfoss ... but no windows :)05:48
henoand should I be testing all my own winfoss work? (is that good policy?)05:48
mdzheno: if needed, we can certainly buy a couple of copies05:48
henook, I can of course test, but should not be the only one05:48
henothanks Riddell, tfheen05:49
iwjheno: You seem to have me down for amd64 but I don't have one.05:49
mdzis everyone clear on the testing plan?  you should look at the matrix and make sure that you're capable of doing your test cases05:49
ogra_i'll find people in the community for edubuntu winfoss ...05:49
henoI'll shuffle things around a bit more05:49
mdzheno: will you send out a pointer to the test candidate once it's in place?05:49
henoyes05:49
mdzok, sounds good05:50
Keybuknote: I've hassled mdy again about our vmware licences,05:50
Keybukno luck though05:50
=== tfheen_ [n=tfheen@203-174-900.ggsn.netcom.no] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
henoexcept this time there is no specific candidate iso05:50
heno(but for beta, etc there will be)05:50
mdzheno: hmm, I guess it's not strictly necessary05:50
henojust 'a recent daily'05:50
mdzto serve as a dry run for the testing process itself and distribution of test cases, and to chase out the obvious bugs05:51
tfheen_noting down which version you're testing is still useful, though.05:51
mdzKeybuk: who's lacking?05:51
asaci am not really sure about all test cases ... erase disk for instance :/05:51
mdzasac: as it's a rather popular one with real users, it does need to be thoroughly tested05:52
henohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/InstallMethods05:52
mdzif hardware is the issue, we can discuss that05:52
henoThat needs fleshing out too05:52
asacprobably should get an extra disk i guess05:52
ogra_hmm, heno whats the DVD winfoss testcase for the edubuntu add-on CD ?05:52
henowith more detailed instructions for each test05:52
mdzheno: should probably refer to Testing/Short05:53
ogra_cjwatson, do we build a DVD from the add-on stuff ?05:53
henoogra_: don't know, is there no such thing?05:53
ogra_not afaik05:53
Keybukmdz: everyone, but you who bought one yourself05:53
henomdz: right, I'll merge and clean up05:53
cjwatsonogra_: add-on should be included in the regular DVD; no pointt building a separate one05:53
iwjasac: Get one of those removeable caddy drive tray things.05:53
ogra_but i might be wrong, thats why i ask cjwatson05:53
iwjOr just open the box :-).05:53
cjwatsonKeybuk: I have my own as well05:53
asaciwj: yeah :)05:53
Keybukmdz: the ones on the ISVLicences page have all expired, as they were issued incorrectly by vmware05:54
henoACTION: heno to improve ISO testing documentation05:54
ogra_cjwatson, so i assume there is no winfoss on the DVD, is there ?05:54
mdzKeybuk: I need to talk to mdy about something else, will ask him about that as well05:54
cjwatsonogra_: hmm, probably not at the moment but that's actually a bug05:54
ogra_oh, ok05:54
mdzACTION: mdz to ask mdy about vmware licenses05:54
cjwatsonogra_: feel free to check and file it05:54
pittiasac: having two HDs in the computer is nice anyway for distributing access etc.05:54
ogra_so itws a valid testcase then, thanks05:54
cjwatsondoor, brb05:54
henoogra_: I was in doubt about the new edubuntu images, please make corrections05:55
asacpitti: I alrady have two :) ... still need to sort things out and maybe get a third05:55
mdzok, it sounds like we're fairly clear on the pre-testing procedure05:55
ogra_heno, will do, to be honest i havent tested any DVD yet05:55
mdzany other business for the meeting?05:55
cjwatsonyes05:55
bdmurrayI was curious about bug 7568105:55
cjwatsonkiko asks whether they can take lp down early tomorrow morning05:55
bdmurraycjwatson: is that UTC?05:56
tfheen_I'm fine with that, given that I'm on vac tomorrow.05:56
mdzI get a server error on https://launchpad.net/bugs/7568105:56
=== mvo gets it too
bdmurraywhoops, all of lp seems to be down now05:56
iwjIt seems broken.05:56
cjwatsonlaunchpad is falling over and they think postgresql 8.2 will improve things05:56
bdmurrayit is about a boot-time race condition with mdadm05:56
=== dholbach starts hacking bughelper--LP-timeout--support
mdzbdmurray: email the list about it instead I guess05:56
seb128<kiko> *** We're doing some online maintenence work on Launchpad -- the site will be slow and unstable for a few minutes ***05:56
iwjbdmurray: I'm probably the person to talk to about that.05:57
mdzbdmurray: ubuntu-devel, even05:57
cjwatsonthey say the downtime will be 7:30-9:30 UTC; if it's not then, then the next window would be 4:30 UTC on Saturday, but they don't want to hold off until then if they can avoid it05:57
iwjI'd be quite keen to chat real-time with a user who has the symptoms.05:57
cjwatsonI asked if it could be earlier in the morning tomorrow, but apparently not05:57
bdmurrayiwj: The submitter is kees and I have the symptoms too05:57
mdzthat time is OK with me05:57
cjwatsonso I said I'd bring it up here as it affects most of us in Europe05:57
iwjbdmurray: Excellent :-).  (err)05:57
iwjbdmurray: Talk after the meeting ?05:57
bdmurrayiwj: sounds good05:58
mdzit sounds like an urgent situation05:58
cjwatsonany objections, speak now or forever hold your peace05:58
heno== LP meeting report ==05:58
henoThere was some discussion about the recent performance issues and oopses. They are investigating oopsec reports and system logs. No conclusions yet. One theory is the translation timeouts are hogging server CPU, in which case that will pass.05:58
Keybukcjwatson: do they have to wait until then? :p05:58
cjwatsonhah05:58
henojust though I'd post that05:58
henoseemed relevant05:58
cjwatson16:32 <kiko> well, we could do it at 4:30 UTC saturday, BUT, it means that a) launchpad will still be slow until at least then and b) the poimport script, required to opening feisty translations, will not run until then.05:58
cjwatson16:32 <kiko> I would much prefer doing it tomorrow05:58
cjwatson16:35 <cjwatson> I'll ask in the meeting05:58
