davmor2Good morning Everybody!08:02
aramorning davmor208:03
davmor2ara: did heno say how to go with the wiki pages in the end?08:03
aradavmor2: he made a proposal for Firefox3. I will review it and talk to you and him later08:04

araHello all! We remember you that today is the first Ubuntu Testing Day!08:08
araIf you want to help with Ubuntu and don't know where to start this is the perfect ocassion08:09
arawe will be testing Intrepid Alpha 6 Live sessions, so you won't need to install anything on your systems08:09
araHere you will find the links to the ISO cd images to test: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/UbuntuTestingDay/20080922#Which%20release%20we%20will%20be%20testing?08:10
aramore information about the testing day can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/UbuntuTestingDay/2008092208:10
arawe will be here all day to answer the questions you might have08:10
Kesmanoh man if there was a file that I just could put on my usb-stick and boot with it08:14
araKesman: you can download the ISO and use virtualbox to launch it08:15
araKesman: in case you don't want to burn a CD08:15
Kesmannever tought about that :P08:15
araKesman: here there is a small doc on how to install virtualbox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox08:18
Kesmanthanks08:19
thekorn_happy testing-day!09:30
thekorn_hmm, should changing the status via the fusa applet change the status of pidgin?09:32
davmor2thekorn_: Apparantly so yes09:37
thekorn_davmor2: just found out, it works, the only state which does not work is 'busy' as pidgin does not have such a state09:40
thekorn_at least in a default live session09:40
davmor2thekorn_: no it doesn't it has invisible instead :) I don't know whether you can mod the invisible to be busy and get round it that way.  However it's really made for empathy which does have a busy :)09:45
thekorn_right, but noone knows when empathy will make its way as default IM into ubuntu09:50
=== asac_ is now known as asac
thekorn_other question: how exactly should this installing of restricted driver for graphic cards work? in a perfect world this would not require any session log out/log in, right?09:53
thekorn_and compiz should be usable right after jockey finished the installing process09:54
Tech2000Hi, I know this is not the correct place to ask but I'll try anyway...   Is it a common problem with that some usb stuff, like a n old pendrive (markvision) and a gps unit (magellan 4215) makes the computer hangs...  It frezes completly.  :(09:54
davmor2Tech2000: your right it's not the right place and maybe you could be more specific like which version of what your running?09:56
davmor2thekorn_: In an ideal world that would be the case unfortunately it needs to resart X to kick in which does require a restart :(09:57
davmor2or hitting alt-ctrl-backspace should do it too as it restarts the session and x also IIRC09:58
Tech2000davmor2: I have tried it on all versions from 7.04 -> Intrepid Ibex09:58
Tech2000And the same issues on all platforms..09:58
davmor2Tech2000: is it a hand built system?09:58
Tech2000Yes..09:58
davmor2is it the front usb slot?09:59
davmor2if so try the back one and see if it has the same result09:59
Tech2000No. I'm using the usb ports from the mobo.. (at the back)09:59
davmor2bizarre how old is the system?10:00
Tech2000And I have acctuallt tried the usb ports on all places..10:00
Tech2000I'ts from december 0710:00
davmor2daft question probably but it is USB2.0 and not 1.0 isn't it?10:00
Tech2000it's a amdx4 4 gb ram, geforce 880010:01
thekorn_davmor2: after restarting X everything works :) but I thought jockey is doing some magic, because I hear the login sound twice during the process of installing the driver10:01
Tech2000yes. it's 2.010:01
davmor2thekorn_: Pass as far as I knew you needed to reboot.  It should infact throw up a reboot icon once installed.10:02
thekorn_davmor2: no, unfortunatly no "please log out/log in"-notification in a live session for me, but will try it again in a bit to be sure10:04
davmor2Tech2000: seems strange that the only time I ever had an issue similar was when I had reversed the the cables on the front usb by accident.10:04
davmor2thekorn_: My bag thought you had installed you can't reboot Live your only meant to really install the binary blob once installed I think is the idea.  Let me check.....10:06
Tech2000davmor2: well, that is not the case here..  I know all cables are connected correct and the rest of the USB stuff works just fine..   mouse, keyboard and mobile phone...10:06
Tech2000so, it beats me too..10:07
davmor2thekorn_: https://launchpad.net/bugs/27223810:15
ubot5Launchpad bug 272238 in jockey "No prompt for restart after driver install" [Undecided,Confirmed]10:15
davmor2Tech2000: have you tried either of those devices on other machines?  It may be a fault with the device?10:17
thekorn_davmor2: cool thanks, I will add a comment there about my experience in a live session10:17
Tech2000yes, tha sad truth is I have tried it on other maschines (windows) and the stuff works there..10:18
davmor2thekorn_: I think there is a bug about the music being played too I'll try tracking it down10:18
thekorn_asac: hi, I'm testing in a intrepid live session right now, after installing a driver with jockey all my network devices are shown twice in the nm-applet list, is this a known bug, is it a bug in jockey or nm?10:21
Tech2000Thanks for the help but I'll have to wait and see if the GPS will get 'supported' in the future...   Maybe the pendrive on the other hand is ready for the trash..   It's very old.. 256 mb...10:22
davmor2Tech2000: try pluggin' it in before you switch on your machine10:23
davmor2if it hangs then you may be able to get some sort of error message from the system10:24
Tech2000Where can one get more involved with ubuntu... I'm an ambassador and I spread the word pretty good...   I have turned my whole family over to ubuntu...   From kids  aged 4 -> to my father (61)...  :)10:24
Tech2000davmor2: I'll do that the next reboot..  ;)10:25
davmor2find your loco team join their mailing list.  test the latest iso https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/UbuntuTestingDay/20080922 . Join the bug squad etc etc etc10:26
Tech2000I wanted to more involved with the swedish translations, but unfortunatly the swedish translationteam doesn't want more translators...   So I'm still looking for something meaningsful to do..10:26
Tech2000thx for link...   I'll take a look..10:27
davmor2thekorn_: that might be a glitch with live10:27
thekorn_davmor2: sorry, which one? the nm-applet bug or the restart X bug?10:29
=== jakob is now known as j
Tech2000can all this testing be done in a virtual environment?  I mean is the test equal to a 'normal' test?10:30
davmor2nm-applet10:30
=== j is now known as j_lundberg
davmor2Tech2000: yes https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox or in kvm if you prefer10:30
Tech2000cool. I'm running virtualbox since ages, so that'll be fine..10:31
Tech2000thanks for the info...10:31
davmor2Tech2000: No Problems10:31
Tech2000btw, isn't there a better way to make people aware of the testing...   I mean it would be cool to have all kind of ways to help out presented on a single page...   maybe a thought for brainstorm...10:33
Kesmanwell there are links to subscribe to the mailing lists10:44
davmor2add it to brainstorm but there have been a few announcements about today :)10:44
asacthekorn_: its a reported issue, yes.11:55
davmor2ara: what was decided about layout for the wiki?12:07
aradavmor2: attachments will be in the application page, and each test case will have an id12:08
aradavmor2: https://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Instructions/TestCaseIDTracker12:08
davmor2just got the mail about it :)12:09
davmor2So you want the large image uploading to each on of the test page and the table with the image in replacing with heno's code and the screenshot page removing then?12:10
davmor2s/on of/one of12:11
terminator_Have tried the Live-CD and the Alternate CD and both load perfectly.  What ever you did between alpha 5 and alpha 6 worked.12:14
aradavmor2: yep12:17
davmor2okay I'll get that done this afternoon then :)12:17
davmor2ara: ^12:18
aradavmor2: cool, I am also doing a bit on that12:18
=== thekorn_ is now known as thekorn
davmor2heno: Morning :)12:31
araheno: hey :-)12:32
henohey!12:32
henoHow is testing day going? :)12:32
araheno: for a first day I think is going well. we need to improve things like how to track what people are testing and so forth, but community seems interested in the idea12:34
* ara -> lunch12:37
henoara, davmor2: cool. Are we continuing to collect results on Alpha 6 in the tracker?12:38
davmor2seem to be there were 8 people who have test live session now instead of 1or 212:38
henoI've changed its status to released from testing - it will still accept reports though12:39
heno(I hope)12:39
davmor2:)12:39
henoLooks like we are in general agreement on the testcase wiki structure so we can move cases across today12:40
henotest ID on the form aaa-0000, each app has its own page with screenshots attached directly (no thumbnails), install tests pull in fragments of app pages12:42
davmor2heno: yes I'm going to up-date all the images on the page this afternoon12:44
henoexcellent! I'll do some general migration and structure edits as well12:45
henoshould we set a time line for completing the migration? stgraber will need to point the tracker at the new URLs as well12:46
davmor2I think to be honest heno that it shouldn't be a problem for the tests we have to be done for beta.  However if we're going to do new test cases for all the versions then between beta and rc would be more relistic12:55
=== davmor2 is now known as davmor2-lunch
stgraberheno: I'll also need to drop Kubuntu-kde4 from the tracker and maybe some other small changes.12:58
henoright13:00
davmor2-lunchDoes anyone have a working screensaver on intrepid?  On mine it fades to black and then wakes up again instantly13:57
=== davmor2-lunch is now known as davmor2
aradavmor2: haven't tried, sorry14:10
thekorndavmor2, same for me (in a live session)14:11
davmor2mines installed :(  I don't think it's a crash though I'll ask about and see if there is a way to catch it14:12
davmor2ara: heno: Flying through adding the resize script and attachment to the current tests14:26
aradavmor2: cool :)14:26
davmor2heno: ara: how the hell do you remove an attachment?14:31
aradavmor2: go to the right column menu, attachments14:31
aradavmor2: then you can select them to delete14:31
davmor2ara: Where on attachments page I have get|view only on the drop down menu there is no mention of remove :(14:40
=== cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville

aradavmor2: ok. i will ping schwuk later on to see what's up with the permissions14:45

henothey all seem to point to our LP pages14:50
davmor2heno: this link https://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/HenrikOmma on mine I get no link.  Is this because your account is different?14:52
