[00:35] <jegHegy> well this failed horribly :( the intel xorg driver throws some garbage and crashes X after login
[00:36] <jegHegy> on vesa now
[00:43] <jegHegy> looks a lot like bug #277709
[07:33] <ara> morning all :-)
[07:42] <ara>  I remember you that today is a Ubuntu Testing Day
[07:42] <ara>  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/UbuntuTestingDay/20081006
[07:42] <ara> We will be focusing on upgrade testing
[07:42] <ara>  If you are willing to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid (beta) this is the perfect timing to do it while helping to make Ubuntu better
[07:47] <Tallken> ara: I'm doing my job now: filling bug reports :D
[07:47] <Tallken> 'job'
[07:47] <ara> Tallken: :D
[07:47] <ara> Tallken: cool, thanks :-)
[07:47] <Tallken> ok, I can't find a easy match to Google for an error
[07:48] <Tallken> I only have printk's and a irq 23 error
[07:48] <ara> Tallken: when reported, could you post here the bug number, so others can know about it?
[07:48] <Tallken> ok
[07:49] <Tallken> I don't have the time to reproduce the error to be 100% right, however it is at least the second time it happens with a fairly recognizable procedure, will mention this fact at the bug report
[07:49] <Tallken> (be 100% right in the procedure)
[07:57] <Tallken> my connection is going wacko
[08:16] <Tallken_> ara: I'm unable to reproduce it :'( but it happened at least twice with similar procedure

[08:18] <Tallken_> lol, that's mine all right
[08:20] <Tallken_> ok, is it normal a revision for a PCI line being "(rev ff)" ?
[08:22] <davmor2> Good Morning Everybody
[08:22] <Tallken_> ok seems so
[08:22] <Tallken_> hello davmor2
[08:23] <Tallken_> or if it isn't it normal, it has been since 7.04
[08:23] <Tallken_> that issue with 0xFF all over Intel's Gigabit Ethernet adapter got me panicking anytime I see an 0xFF...
[08:23] <ara> morning davmor2
=== Tallken_ is now known as Tallken
[08:25] <Tallken> meant 8.04, not 7.04
[08:43] <davmor2> Tallken: did you report it as a bug in 8.04?
[08:50] <Tallken> davmor2: hum? no? I'm just complaining my lspci reports a revision as being 0xFF, I suppose it's not a bug, it's just a device of mine who has a funny revision, I guess...
[08:50] <Tallken> 07:09.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev ff)
[08:51] <davmor2> Tallken: but it should be displayed correctly so it is a bug :)  Write a bug put in what it does get called and what it should be called etc
[08:53] <Tallken> davmor2: should I consider this a bug as well? :

[08:54] <davmor2> Yeap probably part of the same issue if the device isn't recognised correctly then these are the kinda errors that can arise.
[08:56] <Tallken> davmor2: ok :) will fill bug report when I 've time
[09:01] <DJones> Hi, just wondered whether anybody had reported problems with the alternate intrepid beta cd? I had various difficulties over the weekend doing an install (All solved in the end), the main issue I had with the alternate was that on a Toshiba Equium L20 laptop with ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics, I couldn't get the display working during install, it brought up the install screen & let me select install, and then a plain black screen, I tried us
[09:09] <ara> DJones: is that reproducible?
[09:09] <ara> DJones: how did you solve it in the end?
[09:10] <ara> DJones: you can check here for the bugs that have been filed for the alternate cd: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/test/1973
[09:11] <DJones> ara: It kept happing every time I booted with the alternate cd, the only solution i found was using an external monitor for the display during install which worked with no problems, i'd tried changing the boot paramaters to use vesa and vga=771 etc with no sucess
[09:11] <DJones> ara: Thanks I'll have a look at the bugs filed
[09:11] <ara> DJones: do you have an account in the ISO tracker?
[09:12] <ara> DJones: if not, create one, so you can add your findings to the ISO testing
[09:12] <DJones> ara: No, I don't, this is the first time I've found somthing reportable, I will do, thanks for the suggestion
[09:12] <davmor2> DJones: is it something similar to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/274290

[09:14] <davmor2> Guys If you don't already know about it I recommend firefox-launchpad-integration it adds launchpad type stuff to the search bar in FF
[09:16] <DJones> davmor2: I don't think so, the laptop is always a PITA to install on so I end up using the alternate, I can get the desktop cd to get to the install setup by using vesa as a boot parameter, but then hangs (maybe I'm not giving it enough time because the cd & hdd lights still flicker as though data is being read - But after 45 minutes I had to give up) Its been that way from Edgy onwards with the desktop cd
[09:18] <schwuk> Morning all
[09:18] <schwuk> davmor2: I didn't know about that package - thanks
[09:20] <ara> morning schwuk!
[09:30] <schwuk> ara: did you have a look at mvo's sandbox-upgrader?
[09:30] <ara> schwuk: no, i didn't. did you?
[09:34] <schwuk> Yes, but it's failed horribly both times :(
[09:34] <schwuk> Wondered if it was just me...
[09:34] <davmor2> DJones: I think  know what it is.  I think it might be the edid of the monitor screwing things up for you.

[09:35] <davmor2> Morning schwuk Np's only found it myself by accident :)
[09:38] <schwuk> davmor2: useful. I've tried the GNOME Do LP plugins, but then I'm switching away from the browser to go back to the browser...
[09:41] <davmor2> schwuk: Yes I found it useful this morning :) I was looking through the repo list in nbr to find an app I couldn't remember the name of and stumbled across it and thought that a cool idea :)
[09:49] <davmor2> morning heno :)
[09:49] <heno> hey davmor2
[09:49] <heno> happy testing day!
[09:50] <davmor2> could it be anything other than a happy testing day :)
[09:58] <jegHegy> after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10, i have a bunch of packages in update-manager that can't be checked for install. where do i look for a log that gives me more info?
[10:05] <ara> jegHegy: /var/log/dist-upgrade
[10:08] <jegHegy> aha, they all have a broken dep on libmp3lame0
[10:12] <ara> jegHegy: are the packages with the broken dependencies part of a non ubuntu archive? (medibuntu or similar)
[10:13] <jegHegy> no, it's in multiverse
[10:13] <jegHegy> oh, libmp3lame0 is, i mean
[10:13] <jegHegy> the broken ones might be in universe
[10:14] <jegHegy> i turned off all third party repos before upgrading
[10:15] <jegHegy> (sidenote: rhythmbox while watching youtube, YEAH :D)
[10:19] <schwuk> jegHegy: have you tried doing `sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0` from a terminal?
[10:19] <schwuk> If it's can't install, it should at least tell you why.
[10:22] <jegHegy> i did so, now it's upgrading the broken dep'd packages :O
[10:22] <jegHegy> looks like a conflict with some third party packages as it removed some in the process
[10:24] <jegHegy> everything seems to be in order :)
[10:24] <ara> jegHegy: have you tried running sudo apt-get install -f ?
[10:25] <jegHegy> the packages seem to be fine now
[10:26] <jegHegy> this would've been quite confusing though if i didn't know where to look for help
[10:27] <jegHegy> somehow there needs to be a way to help users through things like this, preferably with a UI
[10:27] <davmor2> jegHegy: you'll probably find that it will work flawlessly tomorrow and that someone is already updating the package I find it quite often upgrading :)
[10:27] <jegHegy> i know this is not something that's going to be worked on after a beta release, just letting it out :)
[10:27] <jegHegy> davmor2: cheers :)
[10:28] <jegHegy> so what i encountered was a problem with packages themselves?
[10:31] <davmor2> jegHegy: nine time out of 10 one app will request libmp3lame0-ubuntu10 and libmp3lame0-ubuntu9 is in the repo as upgrading libmp3lame0 is the next on the devs agenda he just ran out of time the day before :)
[10:32] <jegHegy> ah :)
[10:32] <jegHegy> well other than this fiasco and a crashing intel xorg driver, the upgrade went real smooth :)
[10:34] <jegHegy> i'm gonna grab some breakfast and then try to get a backtrace
[10:34] <jegHegy> looks like #277709 from the symptoms
=== nm-rocker is now known as asac
[11:19] <jegHegy> ok, i've ran into a bit of a problem while trying to get a backtrace of X
[11:19] <jegHegy> no sort of networking is brought up until gdm login and the crash i'm trying to get at happens at login
[11:19] <jegHegy> so i can't ssh in to run gdb :/
[11:21] <jegHegy> tried booting into recovery mode and running /etc/init.d/networking as root, but ifconfig still only shows the loopback device
[11:21] <jegHegy> ifup doesn't help
[11:28] <davmor2> jegHegy: does nothing show up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[11:30] <jegHegy> i looked at it last night, nothing too helpful in it apart from telling me it's gonna die
[11:35] <davmor2> jegHegy: might be enough for the bryce's of the world :)
[11:36] <jegHegy> maybe :) i guess i'll just post the log and see if he needs a trace from me too

[12:08] <ara> nice split :-)
[12:08] <brobostigon> we lost half the room over at ubuntu-uk
[12:16] <abePdIta> Hi everybody, running test!
[12:18] <brobostigon> whats the status of the powerpc version, i have 7.10 still on my mac, and am looking for something newer, will the 8.10 version for powerpc be usable and stable, this is my laptop i use for work so it has to be stable,?
[12:30] <ara> brobostigon: 8.10 is beta now. It is not meant to be installed in production servers, or important desktop/laptops. 8.04 is the stable release now
[12:30] <ara> abePdIta: cool, what are you testing?
[12:31] <brobostigon> ara: ok, thank you, how is 8.04 on powerpc, do you happen to know, by chance,?
[12:33] <abePdIta> .. =) just following instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/UbuntuDesktop
[12:34] <ara> abePdIta: cool :-)
[12:34] <ara> brobostigon: you can download it from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/
[12:34] <ara> brobostigon: it should be stable enough, but sorry, i cannot tell, as I am running under intel
[12:36] <brobostigon> ara: ok, thank  you, i will give the live one a try first.
[12:47]  * ara -> lunch
[12:48] <heno> heh, tried installing every single firefox plugin in the archive - it works but it looks a bit messy :)
[12:48] <heno> (this was Hardy - will now upgrade from there)
=== davmor2_away is now known as davmor2
[12:57] <davmor2> heno: can you have a word about the bug bot to get it so it works if you type in the bug number please?
[13:06] <heno> davmor2: who runs that Sevaas?
[13:06] <heno> ara (when you're back): Is the testing library only available f
[13:07] <heno> ..or intrepid?
[13:07] <heno> I'm trying to set up automated an upgrade test from Hardy to Intrepid
[13:08] <davmor2> heno: no idea I'm afraid that's why I asked you :)
[13:37] <ara> heno: I am afraid their only available for intrepid, but there are ldtp 1.2. ppas for hardy. Installing those, and the intrepid tests packages in hardy, should work
[13:37] <ara> heno: https://launchpad.net/~apulido/+archive
[13:40] <heno> ara: ok, thanks - will try
[13:59] <ara> the split day
[14:04] <heno> yay, I've got it launching update-manager!
[14:04] <heno> but it fails to check and install updates
[14:05] <heno> ara: what's the recommended way to file bugs against the test suite - attach the report html page?
[14:05] <ara> well, there is a way to debug a bit more
[14:06] <ara> (i need to write a guide about that)
[14:06] <ara> heno: ^ report first with the html
[14:06] <heno> ok
[14:07] <ara> and then you can improve the information running again the test, but having set the local variable LDTP_DEBUG=2
[14:07] <ara> that should print a lot more information to the terminal
[14:07] <heno> right. perhaps we should just enable that by default for now?
[14:14] <ara> heno: well, we could enable that variable as part of the installation process, but I don't know if that's a good idea
[14:16] <heno> ara: right, I see now it's quite verbose too. docs will be fine
[14:24] <heno> ara: bug 279068
[14:27] <ara> heno: which file have you changed to put your password?
[14:28] <heno> ara: update_system.py
[14:29] <ara> heno: no, it is not the way to run it. you have the instructions here
[14:29] <ara> heno: the file to be modified is update_manager_data.xml, and you have to run it using run_test.sh
[14:30] <heno> ok, I'll try that. I used run_test.sh update_system.xml
[14:32] <ara> heno: cool, that's the way, but you have to modified update_manager_data.xml
[14:32] <ara> heno: I have updated the bug report as well
[14:44] <heno> ara: that worked nicely :)
[14:45] <ara> heno: good news :-)
[14:45] <heno> now, can we make a system_upgrade version?
[14:46] <ara> I am afraid we can't, but you could file that in ubuntu desktop testing project as a wishlist :-)
[14:46] <heno> OK, will do. what are the blockers?
[14:46] <ara> heno: could you please read my latest comment at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/276657 and give me some feed back?
[14:46] <ubot5`> Launchpad bug 276657 in ubiquity "Main menu is still in English after installation from LiveCD" [Critical,Fix released]
[14:46] <ara> heno: no blockers
[14:48] <heno> for one thing it would have to be launched from a terminal as 'update-manager -d', not from the menu
[14:49] <ara> heno: sure, but we could add that as an option. in ldtp you can run applications without the menu as well
[14:50] <heno> ara: ok. it would be nice to automate upgrade testing as we approach release
[14:51] <ara> heno: ok, I will work on it as soon as I clean some other tasks

[20:00] <coucouf> Hi there, may I tell my Intrepid upgrade experience here ? I saw the post on the planet and wanted to give a hand.
[20:05] <Zergy> You can if you want, this is the right channel.
[20:07] <coucouf> Well it could be summed up like this : today there is no suitable X driver for an HD3850 graphic card.
[20:09] <Zergy> I don't know, I'm using a nVidia graphic card. :/ Anyway, the ATI graphic card always have some driver's problems on Linux
[20:10] <Zergy> You can use the "ati" drivers insted of the officiel fglrx if it don't work ("ati" is a 2D only driver)
[20:13] <coucouf> fglrx doesn't work (bug #247376), radeon/ati doesn't work (bug #264462) and radeonhd flickers (bug #278471)... Bad luck. :-(
[20:15] <Zergy> vesa ? :/
[20:16] <coucouf> yes :D
[20:18] <coucouf> At least the problems are known and the bugs are filed in Launchpad, but I really hope either of them is solved until Intrepid is released.
[20:19] <Zergy> Yep, beaucoup vesa is not the greatest drivers for every day use. ^^
