[01:34] <slangasek> is anyone here testing edubuntu/xubuntu/ubuntustudio?
[05:36] <slangasek> stgraber: is the edubuntu add-on test-case current?  I don't seem to get any pop-ups, at least under VMware.
[07:19] <soren> liw: Yes, kvm supports ACPI. However, whether it's enabled depends on a few things. If you invoke kvm from the command line, it's enabled by default. If you create your vm from virt-manager, you need to *not* choose either WinXP, Win2k, or MS-DOS as they all get ACPI switched off.
[07:20] <soren> liw: In mathiaz' domain definition ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/43423/ ), you can see <features><acpi /></features>.
[10:47] <liw> I have a broken hard disk on my desktop machine, and I don't know long it will take to get this fixed, so I do not know when I'll be able to resume ISO testing
[10:52] <heno_> liw: golden opportunity to by a SSD!
[10:52] <liw> heno_, I'm going to reinstall on a USB stick, actually :)
[10:52] <heno_> I just go a 128GB one - fast and quiet :)
[10:54] <liw> actual SSD disks seem too expensive for me at the moment, though, for the kinds of sizes I want on that machine (several hundreds of gigabytes)
[11:13] <heno_> liw: I combine it with a 500GB standard drive, for storing large stuff - the SSD was about £340
[11:32] <slangasek> does anyone here have time to test the edubuntu i386 addon today?
[11:34] <heno_> slangasek: I'll have a go
[11:34] <slangasek> great, thanks
[11:43] <heno_> gah, I'm getting no DL speed from cdimage ATM
[11:50] <liw> heno_, out of curiosity: what is the read and write speed like in your SSD?
[11:53] <heno_> liw: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=55VL
[11:54] <liw> that is indeed pretty fast
[12:15] <heno_> The Edubuntu addon installer launches fine, but it does try to grab additional packages from the archive, rather than getting it all from the CD (which I assume it should)
[12:16] <heno_> and since the archive is dead slow for me now, it's taking some time ...
[12:17] <heno_> not an alpha-blocker IMO, but a bug that should be fixed <- slangasek
[12:17] <heno_> specifically it's the tex packages
[12:18] <heno_> I guess that's a seed or dependency bug - where should I file that?
[12:20] <heno_> cjwatson: ^ your view? also we should finally remove the WinFOSS stuff from there
[12:22] <cjwatson> heno_: could I have specific package names?
[12:24] <heno_> cjwatson: texlive-common, texlive-base-bin, texlive-doc-base at least
[12:25] <heno_> cjwatson: and tex-common I think
[12:26] <cjwatson> heno_: which package(s) did you ask it to install?
[12:28] <stgraber> slangasek: the testcase for edubuntu should be up to date as in I haven't heard of any change to the CD for a while. Maybe gnome-app-install behavior changed though.
[12:29] <heno_> cjwatson: edubuntu-desktop, via the addon auto-installer
[12:29] <cjwatson> stgraber: Steve rebuilt it this morning due to an update-manager bug
[12:29] <heno_> btw, changing to the main mirror helped fix the speed issue
[12:30] <stgraber> ok
[12:30] <heno_> so it's working fine now - but I think we should have a network-less test case for all CDs actually
[12:30]  * heno_ makes a note
[12:31] <cjwatson> heno_: very odd; it's not showing up in germinate
[12:32] <cjwatson> it's in all/all+extra (trivially), boot.build-depends, development, and installer.build-depends, but nothing that's in the chain from desktop-addon
[12:32] <heno_> cjwatson: could it be a quirk of me having it set to use the US mirror?
[12:32] <cjwatson> I can't think why
[12:33] <cjwatson> it could be some kind of dependency skew between different versions of some relevant package; but http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/project/trace/ shows the US mirror being up-to-date
[12:34] <liw> that's weird... my newly installed system has an empty -etc
[12:34] <liw> er, /etc
[12:34] <liw> with the hardy installer, though
[12:37] <termitor> hello
[12:37] <heno_> Anyway, the install completed successfully now, so I think it's good enough for alpha 5
[12:37] <termitor> have this bug "dpkg: ../../src/packages.c :221 : process_queue:  L'assertion « dependtry <= 4 » a échoué." someelse have solve it ?
[12:38] <termitor> root@proton:/home/termitor# dpkg -a --configure
[12:38] <termitor> dpkg: ../../src/packages.c :221 : process_queue:  L'assertion « dependtry <= 4 » a échoué.
[12:38] <termitor> Abandon (core dumped)
[12:38] <termitor> no cool
[12:39] <heno_> termitor: do you have a bug #? Looks like bug 264923 is a dupe of it
[12:40] <lirel> hi, when i rsync the current amd64 intrepid livecd i get this checksum 1ed0adc89cac5e3357a6661f4f3685fd which is not reported in the MD5SUMS file, should i download it again, or is the MD5SUMS file out of sync?
[12:43] <termitor> heno_: i'm use chroot for dist-upgrade
[12:44] <heno_> ok
[12:44] <termitor> heno_: but now , i'm on intrepid (boot on)
[12:54] <termitor> heno_: remove cups solve the bug for me
[12:55] <heno_> termitor: ok, sounds like a different problem then (or at least triggered differently)
[13:11] <lirel> okay, the file i had was corrupted
[16:00] <sbeattie> heno_: does the SSD improve on the disk access speed issue you were seeing with multiple vms running at the same time?
[16:01] <heno_> sbeattie: not sure - I've only tried two at once so far
[16:02] <heno_> having a read-from (isos) and write-to disc (vm images) will probably help
[16:02] <heno_> a raid setup may not be needed
[16:03] <heno_> I'll set it up to read from the plate drive and write to the SSD I think
[16:04] <sbeattie> okay, let me know how it goes, as I was seeing the same issue running 4 vms on a quad core machine.
[16:10] <cody-somerville> Hey
[16:10] <cody-somerville> Xubuntu needs some amd64 folks to help test :-) please.
[16:59] <sbeattie> cody-somerville: is it known and expected that usplash has the ubuntu logo rather than xubuntu?
[16:59] <cody-somerville> It is a known issue :-]
[17:09] <sbeattie> aiee, large fonts!
