| ara | bdmurray, sbeattie: do you already have a xmas tree: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2008/12/in-spirit-of-yesterdays-post.html? | 01:12 |
|---|---|---|
| sbeattie | ara: schwuk may want to make one of those. | 01:14 |
| bdmurray | What would I do with all the Mountain Dew? | 01:16 |
| ara | bdmurray: you can still use heineken cans | 01:17 |
| bdmurray | ara: awesome! | 01:21 |
| charlie-tca | Jaunty Question: Finally got an alternate cd image that loaded. If /home/$USER is carried forward, the user can be added! | 01:32 |
| charlie-tca | The user does not currently exist, but /home/$USER does. Trying to add the user generates an error that home directory exists. | 01:33 |
| charlie-tca | If the user does not currently exist, but /home/$USER does. Trying to add the user generates an error that home directory exists. | 01:42 |
| charlie-tca | Is this a known bug? | 01:42 |
| charlie-tca | Any workaround to add the user if /home/$USER exists without losing the home directory? | 01:51 |
| hggdh | charlie-tca, I do not think this is the right channel... | 02:33 |
| hggdh | but did you check if the userIds (user number) are the same? | 02:34 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, Sorry. I asked in #ubuntu+1 and then found the bug from hardy | 02:34 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks | 02:34 |
| charlie-tca | UserIds match. I´ll give it a day or two. | 02:34 |
| davmor2 | bdmurray: could you not just have a tickbox put in launch pad for sru? | 18:20 |

| davmor2 | cr3: what happens about 3d driver issue/ compiz issue on these machines is it possible to test these? | 19:38 |
| cr3 | davmor2: for laptops, that requires on site assistance from myself | 19:39 |
| davmor2 | Okay cool. Will there be some way to inform the developers of this? | 19:41 |
| cr3 | davmor2: upstream or distro? | 19:41 |
| davmor2 | I'm guessing distro | 19:41 |
| davmor2 | or is this what the advanced search thing will do? | 19:41 |
| cr3 | davmor2: this could be documented and the three points of contact proposed could answer this kind of question | 19:42 |
| cr3 | davmor2: the advanced search thing is strictly to find what hardware has what | 19:42 |
| davmor2 | cr3: I think a quick doc listing what is available where I think would be better quicker and easier. Also if all the lappy tests need you around then the points of contact can only redirect to you. | 19:43 |
| cr3 | davmor2: the certification website already has a listing of everything available and where, but that's only moderately useful considering most questions I've received are for specific devices | 19:44 |
| davmor2 | :) | 19:44 |
| davmor2 | cr3: what's the max resolution on the monitor etc? | 19:49 |
| davmor2 | on non laptops | 19:50 |
| cr3 | davmor2: through the kvm? not sure, but rather low | 19:51 |
| davmor2 | so how would you go about checking hi res issues would that be a case of manual testing on the laptops? | 19:52 |
| cr3 | davmor2: I'm contemplating automatic graphics controller testing which would: 1. cycle through all supported resolutions; 2. take a screenshot and compare against golden images; 3. have a human only validate one of the resolutions | 19:54 |
| davmor2 | cr3: Okay cool. Only other thing hardware wise is external devices being pluged in. i.e. dell inspire ..... doesn't work with my ipod etc | 19:56 |
| cr3 | davmor2: yeah, that's a tough one... lego mindstorm bots running around, plugging devices in and out? | 20:02 |
| davmor2 | It's getting the devices too :) | 20:03 |
| davmor2 | cr3: do any of the servers come with impi cards in if so that will tell you if it has power from a remote location | 20:08 |
| cr3 | davmor2: the servers have various heterogeneous ways to get that information from the serial port, but each are probably different :( | 20:08 |
| davmor2 | cr3: okay I just remember a talk at the lug about impi 3 and how useful it was for remote power switch on/reset etc | 20:10 |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | ||
| davmor2 | schwuk: that's an outrageous lie ;) | 20:23 |
| davmor2 | ara: that's most cos we have no pr in the testing team :D | 20:40 |
| davmor2 | ara: will you be covering layout and base format for the testcases? | 23:26 |
| ara | davmor2: sure, that's the main topic of the sessoin :) | 23:26 |
| stgraber | davmor2: sound quality's ok ? | 23:27 |
| davmor2 | stgraber: quiet but okay | 23:27 |
| davmor2 | ara: would it be possible to create a template for a blank testcase page while the majority of the team are in one place? | 23:29 |
