[07:00] <ara> morning!
[07:08] <nullack> afternoon :)
[07:32] <saivann> night :)
[12:31]  * ara -> lunch
[14:20] <cr3> ara: hi there
[14:20] <ara> cr3: hi :-)
[14:21] <cr3> ara: I think I found an acceptable way to run tests within checkbox (previously known as hwtest) as non-root
[14:21] <cr3> ara: I'll give my idea a try this morning and let you know how that goes
[14:22] <ara> cr3: so we have a name :-)
[14:22] <ara> cr3: checkbox is nice :-)
[14:22] <ara> cr3: i like it
[14:23] <ara> cr3: thanks, let me know how it goes
[14:24] <cr3> ara: thanks! I need to ping Ken about getting an icon
[14:25] <persia> You might just ask on #ubuntu-artwork: there's lots of people there who might want to submit a couple icons.
[14:38] <cr3> persia: thanks for the info
[14:54] <cr3> ara: do you have a script working from the command line to run your tests?
[14:55] <ara> cr3: yes, if you get the ubuntu-tests bzr branch, you can use run_script.sh + <xml config file> to run them
[14:56] <ara> cr3: i.e. follow the example at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/LDTP/UpdateSystem
[14:56] <cr3> ara: I don't have a hardy machine readily available, could you try something for me?
[14:56] <ara> cr3: sure, tell me
[14:58] <cr3> ara: in your script, add the following line at the beginning of your execution and run your script with either sudo or gksu
[14:58] <cr3> import os, pwd; os.seteuid(pwd.getpwnam(os.getenv("SUDO_USER"))[2])
[14:58] <cr3> I basically want to make sure that setting the EUID will work when running your script
[14:59] <ara> cr3: ok, ill try that
[15:08] <ara> cr3: it does not work :-( it will still try to run the test as root
[15:09] <cr3> ara: ok, thanks for the feedback
[15:25] <cr3> ara: what if you use this line instead:
[15:25] <cr3> import os, pwd; os.setreuid(pwd.getpwnam(os.getenv("SUDO_USER"))[2], 0)
[15:25] <ara> cr3: let me see
[15:26] <ara> cr3: no luck :(
[15:28] <cr3> ok, 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?
[15:29] <cr3> ara: actually, don't worry about it, I'll find a hardy box and test this for myself
[15:48] <cr3> stgraber: 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 :)
[15:54] <stgraber> :)
[16:06] <cr3> stgraber: 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 added
[16:06] <cr3> stgraber: currently, we only have 10 automated tests which is rather pathetic
[16:18] <cr3> ara: have we figured out how to enable assistive technologies automatically?
[16:18] <ara> cr3: not yet. i will write it down in my to-do list for this week
[16:18] <ara> cr3: will get back to you when i get something
[16:19] <cr3> ara: I might have a look into this problem as well, I'll let you know if I find anything
[16:19] <ara> cr3: ok
[16:19] <ara> cr3: same thing :)
[16:26] <cr3> ara: do you have plans to make your project available in universe for intrepid?
[16:27] <ara> cr3: yes, that would be great. if we get it running correctly with checkbox I will try to get it sponsored for intrepid universe
