[01:12] <ara> bdmurray, sbeattie: do you already have a xmas tree: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2008/12/in-spirit-of-yesterdays-post.html?
[01:14] <sbeattie> ara: schwuk may want to make one of those.
[01:16] <bdmurray> What would I do with all the Mountain Dew?
[01:17] <ara> bdmurray: you can still use heineken cans
[01:21] <bdmurray> ara: awesome!
[01:32] <charlie-tca> Jaunty Question: Finally got an alternate cd image that loaded. If /home/$USER is carried forward, the user can be added!
[01:33] <charlie-tca> The user does not currently exist, but /home/$USER does. Trying to add the user generates an error that home directory exists.
[01:42] <charlie-tca> If the user does not currently exist, but /home/$USER does. Trying to add the user generates an error that home directory exists.
[01:42] <charlie-tca> Is this a known bug?
[01:51] <charlie-tca> Any workaround to add the user if /home/$USER exists without losing the home directory?
[02:33] <hggdh> charlie-tca, I do not think this is the right channel...
[02:34] <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.
[18:20] <davmor2> bdmurray: could you not just have a tickbox put in launch pad for sru?
[19:38] <davmor2> cr3: what happens about 3d driver issue/ compiz issue on these machines is it possible to test these?
[19:39] <cr3> davmor2: for laptops, that requires on site assistance from myself
[19:41] <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?
[19:42] <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
[19:43] <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.
[19:44] <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> :)
[19:49] <davmor2> cr3: what's the max resolution on the monitor etc?
[19:50] <davmor2> on non laptops
[19:51] <cr3> davmor2: through the kvm? not sure, but rather low
[19:52] <davmor2> so how would you go about checking hi res issues would that be a case of manual testing on the laptops?
[19:54] <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
[19:56] <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
[20:02] <cr3> davmor2: yeah, that's a tough one... lego mindstorm bots running around, plugging devices in and out?
[20:03] <davmor2> It's getting the devices too :)
[20:08] <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 :(
[20:10] <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
[20:23] <davmor2> schwuk: that's an outrageous lie ;)
[20:40] <davmor2> ara: that's most cos we have no pr in the testing team :D
[23:26] <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 :)
[23:27] <stgraber> davmor2: sound quality's ok ?
[23:27] <davmor2> stgraber: quiet but okay
[23:29] <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?
