[01:12] bdmurray, sbeattie: do you already have a xmas tree: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2008/12/in-spirit-of-yesterdays-post.html? [01:14] ara: schwuk may want to make one of those. [01:16] What would I do with all the Mountain Dew? [01:17] bdmurray: you can still use heineken cans [01:21] ara: awesome! [01:32] Jaunty Question: Finally got an alternate cd image that loaded. If /home/$USER is carried forward, the user can be added! [01:33] The user does not currently exist, but /home/$USER does. Trying to add the user generates an error that home directory exists. [01:42] If the user does not currently exist, but /home/$USER does. Trying to add the user generates an error that home directory exists. [01:42] Is this a known bug? [01:51] Any workaround to add the user if /home/$USER exists without losing the home directory? [02:33] charlie-tca, I do not think this is the right channel... [02:34] but did you check if the userIds (user number) are the same? [02:34] Yeah, Sorry. I asked in #ubuntu+1 and then found the bug from hardy [02:34] Thanks [02:34] UserIds match. I´ll give it a day or two. [18:20] bdmurray: could you not just have a tickbox put in launch pad for sru? === jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand [19:38] cr3: what happens about 3d driver issue/ compiz issue on these machines is it possible to test these? [19:39] davmor2: for laptops, that requires on site assistance from myself [19:41] Okay cool. Will there be some way to inform the developers of this? [19:41] davmor2: upstream or distro? [19:41] I'm guessing distro [19:41] or is this what the advanced search thing will do? [19:42] davmor2: this could be documented and the three points of contact proposed could answer this kind of question [19:42] davmor2: the advanced search thing is strictly to find what hardware has what [19:43] 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. [19:44] 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] :) [19:49] cr3: what's the max resolution on the monitor etc? [19:50] on non laptops [19:51] davmor2: through the kvm? not sure, but rather low [19:52] so how would you go about checking hi res issues would that be a case of manual testing on the laptops? [19:54] 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 [19:56] 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 [20:02] davmor2: yeah, that's a tough one... lego mindstorm bots running around, plugging devices in and out? [20:03] It's getting the devices too :) [20:08] 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] davmor2: the servers have various heterogeneous ways to get that information from the serial port, but each are probably different :( [20:10] 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 === asac_ is now known as asac [20:23] schwuk: that's an outrageous lie ;) [20:40] ara: that's most cos we have no pr in the testing team :D [23:26] ara: will you be covering layout and base format for the testcases? [23:26] davmor2: sure, that's the main topic of the sessoin :) [23:27] davmor2: sound quality's ok ? [23:27] stgraber: quiet but okay [23:29] ara: would it be possible to create a template for a blank testcase page while the majority of the team are in one place?
