cr3ara: hi there14:20
aracr3: hi :-)14:20
cr3ara: I think I found an acceptable way to run tests within checkbox (previously known as hwtest) as non-root14:21
cr3ara: I'll give my idea a try this morning and let you know how that goes14:21
aracr3: so we have a name :-)14:22
aracr3: checkbox is nice :-)14:22
aracr3: i like it14:22
aracr3: thanks, let me know how it goes14:23
cr3ara: thanks! I need to ping Ken about getting an icon14:24
persiaYou might just ask on #ubuntu-artwork: there's lots of people there who might want to submit a couple icons.14:25
cr3persia: thanks for the info14:38
cr3ara: do you have a script working from the command line to run your tests?14:54
aracr3: yes, if you get the ubuntu-tests bzr branch, you can use run_script.sh + <xml config file> to run them14:55
aracr3: i.e. follow the example at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/LDTP/UpdateSystem14:56
cr3ara: I don't have a hardy machine readily available, could you try something for me?14:56
aracr3: sure, tell me14:56
cr3ara: in your script, add the following line at the beginning of your execution and run your script with either sudo or gksu14:58
cr3import os, pwd; os.seteuid(pwd.getpwnam(os.getenv("SUDO_USER"))[2])14:58
cr3I basically want to make sure that setting the EUID will work when running your script14:58
aracr3: ok, ill try that14:59
aracr3: it does not work :-( it will still try to run the test as root15:08
cr3ara: ok, thanks for the feedback15:09
cr3ara: what if you use this line instead:15:25
cr3import os, pwd; os.setreuid(pwd.getpwnam(os.getenv("SUDO_USER"))[2], 0)15:25
aracr3: let me see15:25
aracr3: no luck :(15:26
cr3ok, so I change the uid and it doesn't work. I change the euid and it doesn't work. what does your script expect exactly?15:28
cr3ara: actually, don't worry about it, I'll find a hardy box and test this for myself15:29
cr3stgraber: by the way, I fixed the /builds page on the production website and it's really cool to see test results magically appear for each daily iso :)15:48
stgraber:)15:54
cr3stgraber: I'll be talking to the kernel folks in an hour on #ubuntu-kernel, during their weekly meeting, to ask what tests they might want to see added16:06
cr3stgraber: currently, we only have 10 automated tests which is rather pathetic16:06
cr3ara: have we figured out how to enable assistive technologies automatically?16:18
aracr3: not yet. i will write it down in my to-do list for this week16:18
aracr3: will get back to you when i get something16:18
cr3ara: I might have a look into this problem as well, I'll let you know if I find anything16:19
aracr3: ok16:19
aracr3: same thing :)16:19
cr3ara: do you have plans to make your project available in universe for intrepid?16:26
aracr3: yes, that would be great. if we get it running correctly with checkbox I will try to get it sponsored for intrepid universe16:27
