henoyotux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures has an introduction01:02
henoyotux: the images in need of testing are listed at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/all/all01:02
henothere are links to ISO images and test cases01:02
yotuxherno -- I am not sure where all log files are but I can find them if there is a guide that will tell me how01:04
yotuxThakns for the reply also01:05

ScottK-laptopAnyone intersted in dist-upgrade horror stories?02:20
persiaScottK-laptop, Not directly, but if you've something that breaks hard, please register it on the tracker.03:28
ScottK-laptoppersia: Not sure where to put it on the tracker.03:29
ScottK-laptopIt was Kubuntu tests that failed, but it's likely across the board03:29
persiaScottK-laptop, I'd probably add it to the appropriate place on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/upgrade/all , file the bug against the offending package, and mark it serious.03:32
ScottK-laptopOK.03:33
persiaThat gets it on release-team radar, and if it's very hard broken, it's possible to shim (although It needs to be *very* hard broken).03:33
ScottK-laptopYeah, well I'm working towards enough information for the release notes.03:33
ScottK-laptopOK, well test case completed.  It's not pretty news.05:46

slangasekdavmor2: 'stable'?08:36
davmor2Cool :)08:36
slangasek... I hope that wasn't in answer to me08:36
davmor2slangasek: As in not about to be respun08:36
slangasekthere are some images that we're considering a respin of08:36
davmor2sooner than latter I hope :)08:37
slangasekas soon as the right people come on-line in London08:40
davmor2slangasek: which cd are likely to be re-spun?  Will it affect netboot?08:50
slangasekit won't affect netboot08:50
slangasekwe're probably looking at ubuntu {alternate,desktop,server,dvd}08:50
davmor2Okay cool I'll get them out the way then08:50
davmor2slangasek: okay cool?08:51
slangasekhmm?08:51
davmor2slangasek: rather now than later :)08:52
slangasekwhat rather now than later? netboot?08:53
davmor2slangasek: No the re-spin08:54
slangasekyes, the decision hasn't been made yet08:55
slangasekconfirmed that dvd,alternate,desktop will be rerolled09:12
araslangasek: do we know when?09:37
slangasekas soon as I can get the bits I need out of the publisher09:37
slangasek(which will be a bit yet, I just missed the start of this hour's publisher run)09:38
slangasekok, the ones that are being rerolled are all disabled on the tracker10:10
slangasekthere are still some images we believe we don't need to reroll10:10
slangasekoops, image-building pipeline wound up a little suboptimal; will be a bit yet before the new images start trickling in, maybe ~1h or so10:43

eduardwitteveenwell, in 8.04 i had a lot more lines in my xorg.conf :D10:45
eduardwitteveenand before 8.04 the wacom intuos worked out of the box10:46
slangasekeduardwitteveen: please see the release notes10:46
slangaseker, no10:47
eduardwitteveenslangasek: it's there, the zero config for x :D10:47
slangaseksorry, it's not in the release notes yet, it still needs to be added before release10:47
slangasekeduardwitteveen: please see bug #282203 instead10:47

davmor2heno: edubuntu netboot may be borked completely11:04

davmor2no it's stuck at 2% doing nothing11:07
* pedro_ syncing ubuntu alternate i38611:14
slangasekgood timing, since I just posted it :)11:14
pedro_I just reloaded the tracker and the build appear there ;-)11:15
davmor2Anyone can you confirm that edubuntu install hangs a 2% on netboot please11:17
* liw starts preparing ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) images for upgrade testing11:24
henodavmor2: I'll have a look11:27
davmor2heno: thanks11:28
davmor2I'll write a bug for it now it only happens on edubuntu11:28
liwthere's jigdo available for RC images, right? and the delta between RC and current dailies is fairly small, right? so it would be possible to get an ISO faster by using jigdo to get an RC ISO, and then rsync to update to the current one, yes?11:28
slangasekyes11:29
slangasekthere's also jigdo available for dailies, though11:29
slangasekso that might be faster still :)11:29
liwthere are? ok11:29
* liw suggested to sbeattie earlier today via e-mail that dl-ubuntu-test-iso could be improved to use a jigdo+rsync combination11:30
slangaseknot linked from the tracker, but present alongside the isos in the same directory on the server11:30
slangasekjigdo gets tricky because of how quickly old packages get superseded on the mirrors11:30
=== BaD-Laptop is now known as BaD_CrC
slangasekbut once we're frozen for release, it certainly helps11:31
liwperhaps adding jigdo support to dl-ubuntu-test-iso would be good during the jaunty cycle, then11:31
liwinterestingly, the server gets half-installed in the time the live cd boots11:34
davmor2liw: maybe if the script could detect if the there is a file already installed and rsync if there is and jigdo if there isn't11:35
liwdavmor2, definitely11:35

henodavmor2: confirmed12:10
davmor2slangasek: you might want to add that one to the release notes :)12:10
slangasekwas this tested before, with RC?12:11
slangasekand is edubuntu desktop the only one broken?12:11
davmor2slangasek: RC was tested and it passed but was missing some apps.  However now the install just stops at 2% had it there for the install length of another netboot install12:12
henoAFAIR it failed differently before, suffering from nested recommends12:13
davmor2slangasek: I should say sorry it installed but failed due to the missing apps12:14
slangasekalright12:14
davmor2stgraber: are you about yet?12:14
davmor2I'm just wondering if it is building the lstp stuff too or trying to without the elements being there12:16

dholbachhum... my alternate amd64 install is hanging at 18% for more than half an hour (in KVM, 500M of memory) right now, md5sum is looking good12:26
* dholbach restarts12:31
liwah yes, my old nemesis: "grub-install (hd0)" failure12:34
ScottK-laptopheno: Do you know if you have any successful test reports with Intel D945 systems or could you point me in the right direction to find out?12:50
henoschwuk: can we search our results for this? ^12:54
henoScottK-laptop: my only other suggestion is https://edge.launchpad.net/+search?field.text=d94512:54
schwukWhat is the D945?12:54
ScottK-laptopIt's an intel motherboard chipset12:55
ScottK-laptopI'm trying to find out if Bug #290153 is just that box being 'special' or if it's a real problem.12:56
schwukheno: We can, but don't have any results.13:07
ScottK-laptopschwuk: Thanks for looking.13:08
liwthis upgrade testing is going to fail, because several of my attempts to install hardy fail on the grub-install failure13:13
henoliw: try using http://files.omma.net/kvm/13:44
ScottK-laptopheno: Since 1 of 1 test samples fails for Intel D945 motherboards, I think it should be release noted.  I have a workaround now.13:45
liwheno, i386 is one of the ones that does work for me, actually13:45
liwheno, ubuntu amd64 not, kubuntu i386 yes, kubuntu amd64 not, both i386 and amd64 server ys13:46
henoScottK-laptop: I agree13:46
ScottK-laptopOK. Thanks.13:47
henoliw: can you install server 64 and add ubuntu-desktop?13:47
liwheno, I can try that, at least13:47
liwI wonder if it would be a good idea to investigate these grub-install failures (under kvm only?) after the intrepid release -- since hardy is LTS, it'll be used for years to come13:48
henoliw: agree. did you file a bug?13:50
liwheno, no, but I will, now13:51
liwheno, can you suggest against which package?13:51
henothanks. We'll milestone for 8.04.2 so we don't forget13:51
henoliw: not sure - grub?13:51
liwheno, 252901 has already been reported13:54
henothanks13:54
liw219165 has already been reported, oops13:55
ScottK-laptopheno: So I've added an ubuntu-release-notes task on Bug #290153 and included a proposed note.  Anything else I should do on that?13:58
henoScottK-laptop: sounds fine, thanks13:59
dholbachmvo, koon: is that current amd64-alternate?14:00
mvodholbach: I had it with i386-alternate the other day14:01
Koondholbach: I experience lockups with installed systems too, that's not installation realted14:01
dholbachKoon: oopsie :-(14:01
Koonthat's since I upgraded the host to intrepid, so probably something taht has to do with kvm on the host14:02
dholbachthe install just went fine, I'll try installing on a real disk tomorrow14:02
KoonI've been trying to crosscheck if that's not virtio related14:02
Kooncouldn't reproduce it so far on virtio-enabled VMs14:03
dholbachI have another install hanging right now.... kvm is still using 100% CPU14:04
mathiazdholbach: where does the install hang?14:04
dholbachmathiaz: at various stages, right now it says "configuring linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic"14:05
mathiazdholbach: right - it may take a while14:05
dholbachonly one out of 4 attempts succeeded14:05
dholbachthe last one was hanging for like 30 minutes before I killed it14:05
mathiazdholbach: I've also noticed some slow down when configuring the kernel14:05
mathiazdholbach: hm - are you testing in kvm?14:05
dholbachmathiaz: yes14:05
KoonIt locks up during IO intensive tasks afaict14:05
mathiazI've also noticed that generating the language can take quite some time14:06
mathiazduring which the install seems stuck14:06
mathiazbut I hadn't had to kill install for months now14:07
dholbachmathiaz: your host is hardy? intrepid?14:07

liwsoren, are you interested? if so, what should do dig out for you?14:32
sorenliw: Quite interested, yes.14:37
sorenliw: What's the host?14:37
liwsoren, this is with an intrepid host, and hardy guests14:37
sorenliw: Hardy guests? Why are you testing hardy guests?14:37
liwsoren, I'm preparing hardy images in order to do upgrade tests14:38
sorenliw: Ah, clever.14:38
sorenliw: Amd or Intel hardware?14:38
liwsoren, Intel14:39
sorenliw: Using the stock kvm modules or the ones from the kvm-source package?14:39
liwsoren, hmm, how do I check? I forget if I switched back to stock kvm modules or not14:40
sorenliw: Check dmesg. If it says "kvm-72" somewhere, you're using the ones from kvm-source.14:40
liwsoren, kvm-source is installed, no kvm-72 in dmesg output14:40
liwsoren, also not in syslog14:41

sorenliw: try "dpkg-reconfigure kvm-source"14:44
liwsoren, will that affect the nine other kvm instances I have running?14:44
sorenliw: It shouldn't, no.14:49
sorenliw: You won't be able to replace the kernel modules while they're running, though.14:49
liwsoren, no worries, I can shut them down, I'll just wait until that one install is finished14:50
sorenliw: Alright. The dpkg-reconfigure ought to recompile the modules for your current kernel version.14:50
liwsoren, ack; can I do something useful with the two core files I have?14:51
sorenliw: How big are they?14:52
liwsoren, 1.1 gigs, uncompressed14:52
liwsoren, I see from dmesg that the kernel has logged the segfaults: [96440.788175] kvm[6006]: segfault at 284 ip 0000000000435355 sp 00007fff7f68df40 error 4 in kvm[400000+19e000]14:53

liwsoren, note the same ip for both14:53
sorenliw: Ok. I don't think the possible value of the data outweighs the hassle of exchanging those files.14:53
liwsoren, they're about 415 megs gzipped, so yeah, pretty big14:54
sorenThat segfault info might be valuable, though.14:55
liwsoren, is there something you want me to look at before I reboot?14:56

newz2000hey19:18
asacin one way or the other19:18

asacthanks for the prompt join-up ;)19:18
newz2000np19:18
asacnewz2000: two things:19:18
newz2000what's up?19:18
asacnewz2000: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63720/19:18
asacnewz2000: so: a) help points to 8.04 (or at least help.ubuntu.com suggests that)19:19
asac(is that mdke i need to bug?)19:19
davmor2newz2000: http://www.davmor2.co.uk/home.png the link for Ubuntu Help takes you to help.ubuntu.com but it has a big 8.04 LTS on the front page ;)19:19
asacnewz2000: b) for me the new homepage wasnt refreshed (proxy problem?)19:19
asacnewz2000: i had to run shift-ctrl+reload to get the new homepage19:19
newz2000well, regarding a: I suspect the doc team will provide me an update homepage for help.u.c soon19:20
asacnewz2000: ok. i will check that with mdke19:20
newz2000regarding b: that's interesting, maybe your shift+reload fixed it for all19:20
asacnewz2000: will the homepage from 8.04 point to a versioned help then too?19:20
asacnewz2000: hah ;)19:20
newz2000what do you mean by "homepage from 8.04" ?19:21
newz2000oh, on the start page19:21
newz2000ah, good question19:21
asacnewz2000: i got the page that was previously used for 8.10 ... which was a copy19:21
newz2000no, it won't, but there will be a tab at the top that says 8.04 I think19:21
asacforcing reload brought the new to my face19:21
asacnewz2000: ok. maybe we should also display which version they are currently running then ;)19:22
asac(if possible19:22
asac)19:22
asacbut not a big thing19:22
newz2000I wonder if we should link the 8.04 start page directly to the 8.04 docs19:22
newz2000we probably should19:22
asacnewz2000: thats what i mean19:22
asacnewz2000: we should ask mdke what the plan is for versions et al19:22
asacnewz2000: imo we should always link to the versioned doc page19:23
newz2000yeah, if things are the same as they have been for the last several releases he'll have a tarball for me to upload soon. At that time I'll change the 8.04 start page's help link19:23
newz2000I agree19:23
asacnewz2000: ok. if there is a version namespace available for help.ubuntu.com that will work19:24
asacis that the case?19:24
* asac just revealed his ignorance about help.ubuntu.com19:24
newz2000yes, it follows the convestion help.ubuntu.com/8.04/19:24
asacnewz2000: ok. anything i should do to properly remind you of that?19:25
asacor is all handed over now ;)19:25
newz2000no, it doesn't make sense to do anything until the help docs are uploaded so when that happens i'll know to do the start page too19:26
asacnewz2000: ok :) ... ACTION: make help link versioned for 8.04 and 8.10 homepage when the content gets deployed19:26

* TheMuso is going to do studio i386 now, and also test studio amd64 just to be sure.22:11
slangasekdavmor2: "handful of tests on each CD" - is that intentional?  Seems suboptimal to me22:11
davmor2slangasek: as in 2-3 on 70% ish and 1 test on the rest22:12
slangasekyes, is that intentional to have the unfinished cases distributed in such a manner?22:13
slangasekbecause that makes it harder to get other people to help sweep up if we fall behind due to the larger download requirements22:14
davmor2slangasek: No I think people are just grabing 1 or 2 tests and that is all22:14
davmor2but on a plus side it does knock the overall amount down :)22:14
slangasekok; some of our testers for final have just a few assigned test cases, so in that case it makes sense22:16
davmor2slangasek: it also means tomorrow we'll split the tasks remaining between the regular tester and blitz through them :)22:16
slangasekok. :)22:16
