persiaFirst up: action items from the last meeting12:04
davidmthanks persa12:04
persia[topic] persia to get initial results from mobile-setup-wizard (co)12:04
MootBotNew Topic:  persia to get initial results from mobile-setup-wizard (co)12:04
davidms/persa/persia/12:04
persiaWell, it runs, but we probably have to tune some things.  I need to file some bugs about this, and update the spec.12:04
persia[action] persia to file bugs to fix mobile-setup-wizard issues12:05
MootBotACTION received:  persia to file bugs to fix mobile-setup-wizard issues12:05
ograno NCommander ?12:05
persiaNCommander seems missing, so we'll carry those over12:05
persia[topic] persia to request conclusions from application research delegates for mobile-applications (co)12:05
MootBotNew Topic:  persia to request conclusions from application research delegates for mobile-applications (co)12:05
persiaSo, I poked you each individually, and I've not seen any updates.  Given that we're a week before FF, I'm convinced nobody is testing anything.12:06
persiaDid anyone test their apps?12:06
loolI wasn't poked, but I didn't have any update12:06
loolI didn't take anytime to test anything indeed12:06
* ogra was more busy researching the d-i breakages on nslu2 which has higher prio for me atm12:07
ograso i didnt do any research either12:07
persiaSo, shall we defer the mobile applications review until jaunty+1 ?12:07
davidmYes12:07
ograwell, at least to post FF12:08
persiaOK.12:08
persia[topic] davidm to target mid-screen-rotation for A512:08
MootBotNew Topic:  davidm to target mid-screen-rotation for A512:08
ograFF is somewhat threatening12:08
loolYes12:08
ograthat was marked obsolete12:08
persiaWhat replaces it?12:08
davidmYes, it's priority is very very low12:08
ograthough i think we could nearly go with what is in gnome atm12:08
looldavidm: You have updated a bunch of specs, how did you decide to obsolete some?12:08
ograthe new gnome rotation applet is pretty neat and would work with small modifications in MID12:09
davidmBased on the hardware platform is changing next cycle and it makes no sense to address a platform that will disapear12:09
davidmogra, if you have time great but it's priority is low low12:10
ograwell, MID is a desktop flavour12:10
ogranot really related to HW on the top level12:10
persiaMID ought be hardware independent, really.12:10
ograbut i agree we should not care to much this round12:10
loolI think davidm might be hinting that we're targetting netbooks before MIDs this cycle12:10
ograright12:10
davidmYes, netbooks critical to address, MID much less so.12:11
looldavidm: perhaps you should update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Roadmap to not list the specs you obsoleted?12:11
persiaOr superceded.12:12
davidmAnd with acceleromitors coming out very cheap next cycle an on-screen applet is even lower in priority12:12
davidmlool, will do12:12
persia[action] davidm to update roadmap to reflect specs targeted for jaunty12:12
MootBotACTION received:  davidm to update roadmap to reflect specs targeted for jaunty12:12

persia[topic] davidm to explore eee PC WiFi with pgraner this week12:13
MootBotNew Topic:  davidm to explore eee PC WiFi with pgraner this week12:13
davidmI've done so,  the eee PC that I have and it seems most eeePC's have is ATH5K12:13
davidmit's beeing looked at12:13
persiaGreat.12:13
ograright, only the really new ones have the realtek12:13
looldavidm: It should wokr OOB in jaunty12:13
davidmMy eee PC works but loses it's mind every once in a while12:14
persiaNext up is Roadmap.  I'll preview and skip those that are obsolete or superseded12:14
looldavidm: And it should work with the backports-module package in intrepid, or with the proprietary module in plain intrepid (except it wont suspend/resume properly)12:14
davidmlool, agreed, it's a top priority for kernel team12:14
looldavidm: I mean, I'm saying this should be the case TTBOMK12:14
lool+already12:14
loolSee lp #27569212:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 275692 in linux-backports-modules-2.6.27 "ath_pci must be reloaded after resume" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27569212:15
ograyes, we tested it in intrepid on the Q1 ... but there might be other chipsets in the eee12:15
loolI tested the hotkeys under UNR myself during FOSDEM, and all were working except the sleep one12:15
loologra: I tested on an eeepc12:15
ograi thik slangasek is on that12:15
ograoh, you had an eee in intrepid ?12:15
ograi didnt know that12:16
loolYes, at FOSDEM12:16
ograah12:16
loolI don't have one, just grabbed the one on the Ubuntu stand12:16
loolAnyway, topic closed12:16
ograi was thinking during develpment12:16
persiaSo, moving on...12:16

MootBotNew Topic:  ogra: offline-installer12:16
ograstarted hacking on a script, but not much progress due to d-i oddities with the slug12:16
ograi hope to have something uploadable on the weekend12:17
persia[topic] StevenK: unr-handling-jaunty12:17
MootBotNew Topic:  StevenK: unr-handling-jaunty12:17
ograthough i dont know how important the spec still is12:17
ograwe have no kernels that could be used at all12:17
persiaIt's still "Approved"12:17
StevenKHmmm?12:17
ograand the slug wont run a desktop session12:17
ogradavidm, ^^^?12:18
StevenKIs it Good Progress or something else?12:18
persiaErr.  untopic, since this seems to require discussion.12:18
ograright12:18
persia[topic] ogra: offline-installer12:18
MootBotNew Topic:  ogra: offline-installer12:18
ograi'm not sure what to build here without having any arm kernels12:18
ograwhoops, sotty i mixed the spec with selection-of-arm-images12:19
ogra*sorry even12:19
persiaOK.  Then for offline-installer ?12:20
ograi started looking at vm-builder and beyond that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch seems to be widely used already12:20
ograjerone started sending fixes and to make changes to the wikipages12:21
ogra*page12:21
persiaAre you planning to get a new package in pre-FF to handle this, or does it not need that?12:21
ogratopic done ... will come to the kernel stuff later :)12:21
ograi would like to have a package, but worst case the script will do as i would rather like to base a packaged thing on vm-builder and i'm not done with that yet12:22
persiaRight.12:22
persia[topic] StevenK: unr-handling-jaunty12:22
MootBotNew Topic:  StevenK: unr-handling-jaunty12:22
ograi'm also not sure how much time the slug will still take12:22
ograwhich constraints my time pre FF massively as it has to be ready for A512:22
StevenKRight, so what the Status of UNRJaunty?12:22
persia"Good Progress".12:23
StevenKIt's still that12:23
ograimplemented ?12:23

MootBotNew Topic:  ogra: selection-of-arm-images12:24
ograwell, what i said above12:24
ogracant do much without desktop kernels12:24
persiaOK.12:24
ograand we currently dont support any arm arch that could run desktop12:24
persiaThat's all the specs on the roadmap that don't appear to have been obsoleted or superseded, so roadmap is complete.12:25
persia[topic] Any Other Business12:25
MootBotNew Topic:  Any Other Business12:25
ograso i would like to set it to deferred ... until we have something we can do with it12:25
loolI appended a bug to the roadmap12:25
loolI didn't have time to look into it, would be nice to research it before tomorrow (release team meeting)12:25

loolWould someone have bandwidth to have a look?  whether the FTBFS can be reproduced on rimu and diagnose it a little?12:26
ogradoes it need to be pre FF ?12:27
loologra: You think you will be done with NSLU2 today and can have a look?12:27
loologra: It needs to be ASAP, preferably before tomorrow12:27
lool(release team)12:27
ograi wont be done with nslu2 today ... but i will have spare cycles waiting for kernels12:27
loolThis bug is currently RC, but if you diagnose it further, we might discover it's not RC12:28

persiatestcases will be on testcases.qa.ubuntu.com12:29
loolGood, do you want an action on this?  or a roadmap "Other item"?12:29

loolactually I didn't update my specs?12:39
davidmMOstly from me is meetings, there may be more ARM hardware soonish, will know by feature freezed12:39
loolA couple were deprecated, but here are my updates:12:39
loolmid-display-manager: No update12:40
loollpia-versus-i386: Some progress; plan is clear now; need to catch infinity to implement changes before jaunty+112:40
davidmI'm just back from sprinting12:40
loolrecovery-partition: No update12:40
loollpia-versus-i386 saw progress over the sprint thanks to Colin and Matthias12:40
persialool, All those were obsolete or superseded, from my quick look.  Did I miss something?12:40
loolpersia: I think lpia is still on track12:40
ogradavidm, is there any more HW among that that might add FF exceptions ?12:40
davidmNope, I can't see anyone else making it in, in time.12:40
ogra(if you only know by FF ... sounds worrying)12:40
persialool, Oh, sorry.  I usually consider Approved/Informational to be complete.12:41
ogragood12:41
loolpersia: Yeah well this one is weird12:41
loolpersia: suggestions to fix it welcome12:41
davidmThe problem is that OEM and others within the company need them to make it but ack that they must at least meet FF12:41
loolThe actions would now be on infinity's side12:41
persiaMaybe remove the informational flag?12:41
persiaGenerally "Informational" specs don't require implementation.12:42
loolpersia: Changed to needs infrastructure12:42
persiaRight.  Needs an assignee as well, if something is to be done.12:42
loolOh actually I have one more thing12:42
loolI had to check whether a bug was fixed on my jax10 for the kernel team12:42
loolBut I don't have it anymore12:42
davidmSomeone with a JAX10 will need to pick up this testing12:43
ograthe jax or the bug ?12:43
persiaWhat's the bug number?12:43
davidmogra, the JAX12:43
ograoh12:43
loolI'm afraid I need help from someone with a jax10; basically the goal is to check two things: a) whether jaunty kernels for i386 and lpia properly see 2 SSD drives of 2GB on the jax10 and b) whether UDMA 5 is selected on boot (just attach dmesg to the boot)12:43
persiaRight.12:43
