sbeattiewe're making progress on the automated cert testing, 18 machines successfully installed the alpha 6 alt cd this week16:12
cjwatson258432 is open in my browser but I haven't had a chance to prod it yet :-/16:13
slangaseknone of the above bugs showed up on my milestone list earlier; do you think they should all be blockers for beta?  (I'm skeptical of this myself)16:13
pittisbeattie: with alternate and preseeding, or the desktop and some automatic clicking?16:13
cjwatsonI think 273833 needs a decision from the kernel team on what to do?16:13
cjwatsonsince last I heard was that it was OK for v86d to be missing16:13
pittiis v86d really missing? rtg told me it really shouldn't be isntalled at all?16:13
cjwatsonright, that's what I heard16:13
cjwatsonthe syslog noise is annoying though16:14
pgranerslangasek: Sorry I'm late, call ran over16:14
sbeattieMmm, I hit v86d missing on an attempt to use the livecd from 20080923.16:14
cjwatsonright, you're seeing the log messages, but they aren't fatal16:15

BenCpgraner: Um...if it's not in initramfs it's because it isn't installed16:16
sbeattiepitti: alternate with preseeding16:16
slangaseksbeattie: 258743 is marked regression-potential, but it's rather opaque who has set this tag and on what basis... this is known to have worked before?16:17
sbeattieslangasek: hmm, probably not. we've had some exuberant regression tagging, sorry for the noise on that..16:18
slangaseksbeattie: well, if it's not a regression, I think the priority goes way down on that one; what do you think?16:18

slangasek[TOPIC] Desktop Team16:22
MootBotNew Topic:  Desktop Team16:22
slangasekpitti: hi16:22
pittiStatus of desktop specifications:16:23
pittiall implemented (2 are deferred due to needing upstream work), so there will not be any changes any more on that front16:23
pittiany questions on the spec front? if not, I'll go on16:23
cjwatsonkeep going, we can ask questions at the end if need be16:23
pittiBugs from Steve's list:16:23
pitti * #259278 (knetworkmanager doesn't work with NM 0.7): Jonathan uploaded fix to network-manager PPA, will be tested over weekend and land on Monday if all goes well16:23
cjwatson(or in the middle or whatever ...)16:23
pitti * #269500 (misaligned options in Log Out dialog), #269504 (wrong 'suspend' icon in shutdown dialog): Ken just created new icons and sent the update to Seb, who will sponsor it today16:23
pitti * #274140 (fast-user-switch-applet shows wrong suspend/hibernate options): it currently seems to guesstimate, instead it should ask g-power-mgr over dbus what options are available; bug is well understood, and Ted is on it; ETA today16:23
pitti * #274146 (too many logout applets on upgrade): IMHO there is *no* correct way to get this right on upgrades; users will need to remove the one they don't like manually, and we can release-note the issue; discussion started in the bug, but I don't expect this to be fixed by beta, or even final.16:23
pitti * #262228 (guest user can lock themselves out): I have the fix halfway ready, ETA today or at most Monday16:23
pitti * #274303 (warning users on upgrade that non-free X drivers aren't compatible): Michael is currently doing fi16:23
pittinal testing on the fix, ETA today16:23
pitti * #260242 ("report a bug" doesn't work): Fixed with this morning's apport upload16:23
pittiOther bugs we lifted to beta critical:16:24
pitti * #258083 (photo import broken for libgphoto digicams): I fixed the underpinnings in fuse yesterday, now we need to teach f-spot --import to accept a ~/.gvfs/<fuse mount> path; shouldn't be too hard, Seb or I will nail it down Monday, at most Tuesday16:24
slangasek[ACTION] slangasek to open release-notes task for bug #27414616:24
pittiso in summary I think the bug front is under control, albeit last-minute work as always16:24
MootBotACTION received:  slangasek to open release-notes task for bug #27414616:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 274146 in gnome-session "Has not yet replaced the existing log out applet" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27414616:24
pittiFuture issues which might impact the release:16:25
pitti * #274085 (update Ekiga to 3.00): the "Abiword 2.6 plz" bug of intrepid, came up a few days ago; currently leaning towards "no", but if somebody picks it up and will care about providing packages with a working upgrade path and will care about regression reports, I'd be willing to bless it16:25
pitti^ for that, since there seems to be a PPA of the package, maybe that guy will pick it up (haven't checked yet whether he's upstream)16:25
slangasekyes, great to see this aggressive set of bugs milestoned for beta - better for beta than final :)16:25
pittiright16:26
slangasekthe ekiga ppa is from an upstream, yes16:26
slangasekwe can talk about ekiga out-of-band, I think16:26
Riddellbug 273489 is important, will there be a language-pack upload before beta?16:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 273489 in rosetta "Remaining Intrepid template approvals" [Critical,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27348916:26
pittigiven our current workload, we won't have time to bring that in for beta, though16:26
loolYeah, please note that the packaging differs significantly and the package name are a pain16:26
lool(for ekiga)16:27
pittiRiddell: there are constant automatic langpakc uploads, at least they are supposed to happen twice a week16:27
Riddellthat doesn't necessarily answer my question :)16:27
pittislangasek: but good point, we should get a fresh -base upload to minimize their size; I'll talk to Arne16:27

pittiRiddell: well, if it's not fixed in intrepid, then there's a bug in langpack-o-matic's cronjobs or rosetta itself; can we discuss this in #devel? I wasn't aware of that so far16:28
slangasekanything else before we shuffle along?16:28
pgranerWeb cam support broke16:28

loolStuff we will likely drop for intrepid:16:29
lool* poulsbo drivers; Intel said they'd provide a code drop for intrepid in ... January; unlikely to be suitable for intrepid-updates as well; need to drop psb from xserver-xorg-video-all for now as it gets used automatically and we don't want that, but we want to keep the package as a placeholder just in  case we get a doable update; bug #27483316:29

loolSo that last list is scary, it's many small things16:30
loolQuestions?16:30
cjwatsonthere's a problem with getting the mobile seeds honoured by germinate on drescher (which may feed into something above, not sure)16:30
slangasekyou said "targetting at intrepid"; are all of these beta things, and which ones are critical?16:30
cjwatsonwe got the initial trivial patch sorted out, but the task names are all wrong16:30
cjwatsonlool: are you planning to use the tasks for beta?16:31
loolcjwatson: I know we discussed task headers yesterday16:31
loolcjwatson: In the seeds data?  I think so16:31
cjwatsonbugger, I'd better get that sorted out quickly then16:31
loolcjwatson: One issue was that mid was using task-seeds: desktop-common incorrectly, that I dropped16:31
cjwatsonat the moment the task names will come out as mobile-mobile and mobile-mid16:31
cjwatsonis that OK for you, or would you want them to be just mobile and mid (bearing in mind that that's a tedious code change)?16:32
loolOk16:32
cjwatsonif you can tolerate those task names, we can leave them like that16:32
loolcjwatson: I think the descriptions are clear enough that I wouldn't bug you for the cosmetic of the short name; would be nice to fix them on the long term naturally16:32
cjwatsonpersia sent me patches for 274781 and 274785 today, which should be straightforward to integrate (though I haven't looked at them yet)16:32
cjwatsonok16:32
cjwatsonthat's a relief16:32
cjwatsonwill still need a tasksel update probably16:33
loolOk; I have little clue about that; I'd rather have persia and you sort tasksel out at this point16:33
cjwatsonit's trivial16:33
loolOk; want a bug?16:34
cjwatsonno need16:34
loolTopic closed then, thanks for raising tasks short names16:34
loolAny other Q on the above release updates for mobile?16:34
slangasekyou said "targetting at intrepid"; are all of these beta things, and which ones are critical?16:34
hokmendear ubuntu friends16:34
hokmenI think double AI for data packages at both sides will do bad things.16:34
hokmena example:16:35
cjwatsonhokmen: please use a different channel; we're holding a meeting.16:35
hokmenafo send me two links which point to his qq mail box (that is afunction for file downloading in tencent qq mail box)16:35
loolslangasek: The beta critical issue is the last one; the other stuff we would like to have in beta or the soonest basically16:35
hokmenand then i can not download it if it come with the hash() verify code in url.16:35
loolslangasek: We could live with any of the other points staying open, but it would be ugly16:35
hokmenok16:35
slangaseklool: and related to that, do people on your team have the necessary bits to escalate these bugs?  e.g., bug #264048 is 'undecided' importance, which puts it a the bottom of the milestoned bug list16:36
hokmeni think this is a kind of double AI(or say g.f.w) for data packages at both sides. we need to cooperation, not do it by your own selves. sorry for interrapt16:36

BenClinux-ports-meta will be filling the void on that one, and smb is preparing an upload16:41
dendrobatespgraner:  BenC: 2.6.27 is currently crashing in EC2.  We have a fix that zul is testing today.16:41
BenCpitti: ^^16:41
pittiHobbsee: are you channel admin? can you please ban hokmen?16:42
pittiBenC: ah, thanks16:42
pgranerdendrobates: bug number?16:42
cjwatsonpitti: (he left)16:42
pittiBenC: which one will build the ones for the dropped flavours?16:42
BenCpitti: linux-ports-meta16:42
dendrobateswe don't have one yet, but will in a few minutes.16:42
pittiBenC: nice to see that resolved, thanks16:43
pgranerdendrobates: great16:43
BenCpitti: if there are other flavours we need to fill the void for, we'll get those too16:43
BenCpitti: things like -xen, -rt and -openvz don't have an upgrade path16:43
BenCpitti: but we never guaranteed one16:43
slangasekrtg: what are the prospects of having a better fix for 263555 for beta than 'remove the driver'?  That option leaves a lot of laptop users without ethernet, I think16:43
rtgInvestigation into the e1000e flash corruption is still ongoing by the kernel dev community. Its a very high profile issue on LKML right now.16:44
rtgI believe it has existed since at least Gutsy. I remember a patch that allowed e1000 to load despite checksum failures.16:44
rtgIn the meantime I've disabled it in the Intrepid kernel. No resolution in sight.16:44
BenCslangasek: e1000 picks up those PCI id's16:44
pittiBenC: so those folks will just stay with the hardy kernel then?16:44
BenCpitti: right16:44
rtgBenC: I'm coming to the conclusion that it might not be a driver issue.16:44
slangasekthere are -rt kernel packages in intrepid, as well as a linux-meta-rt, so I think that one's resolved anyway16:45
sbeattiertg: bug 60388 is the e1000 invalid checksum bug16:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 60388 in linux "e1000  EEPROM Checksum validity check should be disabled" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6038816:45
rtgsbeattie: thats the one. I did it for Jane and Mark16:45
slangasekBenC: ah, so is that change in place already to have e1000 take over these PCI IDs?16:45
slangasekif so, we can probably un-milestone the bug?16:45
rtgslangasek, BenC: its not the solution16:46
BenCslangasek: I'll let rtg comment on this since he's been tracking the whole situation...16:46
rtgReverting to the e1000 driver isn't going to fix the root cause. No bosy is really sure what it is yet.16:47
slangasekok16:47
rtgHopefully we'll find it soon.16:47
rtgIntel is putting a lot of resource into it.16:48
rtgthats all from me.16:48
slangasekok, then I think that bug is where it needs to be right now16:48
slangasekthanks, guys16:48
slangasek[TOPIC] Foundations Team16:48
MootBotNew Topic:  Foundations Team16:48
sbeattieslangasek: one other thing, QA talked internally about escalating issues like e1000e earlier to release team/manager; we think this specific issue got overshadowed by 2.6.26->2.6.2716:49
cjwatsonMilestoned bugs:16:49
cjwatson256054: taken to ubuntu-devel for discussion; ifupdown plugin available for testing; alternatives are to write a simple plugin to make all interfaces unmanaged, or to have an "nm-managed" option in interfaces t16:49
cjwatsonhat ifupdown is taught to understand16:49
cjwatson226139: sorry, don't have status on this, though I see that there's a patch available upstream16:49
cjwatson182004: I'm working hard on this, hope to be finished today16:49
cjwatsonTargeted bugs:16:49
cjwatson247376: still blocked on upstream, but 274303 will at least give us a workaround for upgrades (see pitti's update)16:49
cjwatson185311: no progress since last time, not optimistic16:49
cjwatson267884: no progress since last time, but should be tractable16:49
cjwatson272772: big transition bug including OOo, have pointed it out to calc16:49
cjwatson180309: don't have status on this16:49
cjwatson261543: I've got feedback from Scott, in progress16:49
cjwatson272318: recurrence of previous issue, no progress yet though16:49
cjwatson273271: new UI bug, should be easy, may squeeze this in for beta16:49
cjwatson267682: some progress, not entirely fixed yet though (FDI addition broke detect-screens; HAL issue? needs yet more analysis)16:49
cjwatson270423: not sure what's happening here, but post-beta16:49
cjwatsonMisc issues/features:16:49
cjwatsonOOo 3.0 due in PPA today, perhaps universe for intrepid but not main16:49
cjwatsonOpenJDK compiler currently targeting 1.6 by default which breaks older VMs (e.g. Blackdown); doko is gathering information on what targeting 1.4 instead would lose us16:49
cjwatsonbryce has been working on merging updated acpi-support quirks from Debian and will be continuing with this, with a view to knowing more about the work required to bin it for jaunty16:49
cjwatsonexpecting a new code drop for BBC content in totem, now that the production server is available and some new video formats need to be enabled; would like to upload this pre-beta if possible, if it's in time16:50
cjwatsonnot quite finished enabling mobile seed germination in LP; still needs another code change there :-(16:50
cjwatsonactually, you can ignore that last line, I prepared this before the mobile update16:50
slangaseksbeattie: yes, I agree that should've been escalated much earlier16:50
cjwatsonno questions, or is everyone still digesting? :)16:52
pitticjwatson: 267672> I vaguely understood it as that -evdev now grabs the keys and sends them as events to X16:53
pittias opposed to acpi-support/hal grabbing the keys and running their usual scripts16:53
mdzcjwatson: digesting16:54
pittibut ICBW, I have no firm idea how this actually works16:54
mdzcjwatson: I haven't looked at it in detail, but "experimental plugin" as a solution for 256054 makes me vaguely nervous16:54
slangasekcjwatson: been digesting :)16:54
cjwatsonpitti: the more recent updates to that bug indicate that a hal fdi script helped many of the problems (although regressed one), so something is clearly going through hal16:54
cjwatsonmdz: personally, I'm somewhat open to the "leave it alone" solution as well16:55
mdzcjwatson: isn't it a regression from 8.04?16:55
pitticjwatson: I think it's *supposed* to go trough hal, and with the new -evdev it wasn't any more16:55
mdzpitti: I don't fully understand what's going on in bug 26768216:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 267682 in linux "Hotkeys no longer working in Intrepid on Thinkpads" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26768216:56
pittimdz: I think nobody really does :(16:56
cjwatsonI think it probably is a regression, but people using both /etc/network/interfaces (non-trivially) and network-manager have had to deal with all sorts of crap :-/16:56
cjwatsona new plugin is no more invasive that n-m 0.7 is to start with, I feel ...16:56
mdzpitti: would it help to have someone figure out how it was working in 8.04?16:56
mdzsince there seem to be multiple paths which handle those events16:57
pittimdz: yes, absolutely16:57
pittiyeah, at least hal+hal-info and acpi-support are doing basically the same thing slightly differently16:57
pittiand now -evdev grabs them as well, which doesn't make things easier16:57
mdzpitti: what does the fdi file actually do?16:57
pittimdz: it basically tells -evdev to ignore the spethial keys16:57
pittiso that hal and acpid grab them again16:58
mdzpitti: should we open a separate bug about the brightness keys?  that seems like it may be a different issue16:58
pittiand thus run the acpi-support scripts / the hal addons16:58
slangasekpitti: acpid was always grabbing them...16:58
mdzslangasek: indeed16:58
pittislangasek: yeah, whichever hal/acpid got it first, I suppose16:58
pittibut nice to see that everyone seems to have a different piece of the puzzle16:59
slangasekI don't know how hal grabs them, but it appears to /not/ be through the /proc/acpi/events interface or the acpid socket16:59
pittiI purged acpid and acpi-support, and things still work the same as before; that's when hal/hal-info take over and do what we do with acpi-support16:59
mdzin the longer term, should we be aiming to get rid of acpid entirely?17:00
pittimdz: ++17:00
pittiand acpi-support as well17:00
cjwatsonas I said, bryce's studies of acpi-support are aimed at having enough knowledge to get rid of it in jaunty17:00
pittiI think the right thing to do is to convert our remaining delta in acpi-support to hal-fdi scripts and submit that upstream, and forget about that Ubuntuism17:00
mdzslangasek: hal *should* be getting them via the acpid socket if acpid is running17:00
cjwatsonwe just need to do it at the start of the cycle rather than vacillating for a few months17:00
mdzpitti: ok, agreed17:00
cjwatsonwhich involves somebody who cares at the start of the cycle17:01
mdzbut that's probably not feasible for intrepid17:01
pittimdz: no, too much regression potential17:01
mdzpitti: I have a thinkpad running 8.04 where all of the hotkeys work, I'll look at that over the weekend17:01
mdzI'll take an action for that17:01
zulls17:01
slangasekmdz: one thing I've observed is that if I stop acpid while hal is running, hald-addon-acpi doesn't reconnect to /proc/acpi/event, but the hotkeys still work17:01

dendrobateswe are waiting to hear back fomr amazon about opensourcing some scrpits used with ec217:06
dendrobateswe have already integrated these scripts into vmbuilder, but have not uploaded that version.17:07
dendrobateswe are expecting to hear by the beginning of bext week.17:07
dendrobatesand we have a bug for the ec2 kernel issue, 27484917:08

bdmurraywe've had some possibly overzealous tagging17:23
slangasekis the QA team reviewing these tags for correctness?17:23
mdzsbeattie: ^^17:23
mdzthe ones I've seen get tagged are reasonably accurate17:24
slangasekcan the tagging policy require that the facts of the regression are documented in the bug log itself?17:24
bdmurrayslangasek: it does17:24
cjwatson92014 is an ... interesting suggestion for "regression"17:24
mdzslangasek: ++17:24
sbeattieyes, been reviewing a bit.17:24

sbeattieslangasek: agreed, we'll add that to the documentation.17:25
sbeattieslangasek: yes17:25
slangasek(e.g., the n-m bug discussed earlier)17:25
cjwatsonwhere's the documentation for the tag semantics? could it be linked from the tracker?17:25

mdzit's a bit difficult to interpret though, I think it still needs work17:28
slangasekhardware cert is ongoing and results seem to be good, but the website lacks a summary view17:29
sbeattieyes, reporting needs work.17:29
slangasekI've asked them (and David Murphy) for a summary that will show which tests are failing, which hardware has test failures, and which hardware (if any) hasn't been tested recently17:30
sbeattiecr3 and schwuk are open to suggestions on what/how to report17:30

slangasekdesktop CDs are oversized again; we got several days'-worth of changes in a batch due to some livefs build issues, and now we're at 711MB for both archs17:31

slangasekI have the diff of newly-added packages - looks like landscape-common, libcanberra-gnome, and bluez-{input,network,serial} are the new top-level additions, so I'll be chasing these up today to find out who's to blame for eating up all the space (there are a /lot/ of libs pulled in)17:32
