robbiewWith the Beta tomorrow...I guess I'd just like to open it up for any outstanding issues that people want to discuss16:03
cjwatsonrelease notes16:04
robbiewperfect! as I had a question of where the draft is stored16:04
cjwatsonslangasek: are we collecting these on JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview?16:04
slangasekyes16:05
robbiewah16:05
cjwatsonok, the backlog of stuff to write up is on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bugs16:05
slangasekif you mean errata for the beta and feature highlights16:05
cjwatsonmostly thinking of errata, but yes16:05
slangasekhmm16:05
slangasekI'm not sure how much of what's on ubuntu-release-notes currently is applicable to jaunty, though; there've been a number of random task openings and I haven't been triaging16:06
cjwatsonright, didn't mean to say that everything there *definitely* needs a release note, but it probably all needs to be looked at16:07
* slangasek nods16:08
robbiewjames_w: welcome back!16:09
robbiew:)16:09
james_wthanks :-)16:09
cjwatsonI hear that the true source package branches in LP are nearly ready to go16:10
cjwatsons/the //16:10
cjwatsonslangasek: any cause for belief that we might need a respin?16:11
cjwatsontest coverage is looking pretty good16:12
Extendany news about firefox 3.1 ?16:12
slangasekI haven't reviewed the tracker bugs from this morning; there's one additional failure on kubuntu that I haven't looked at, and mythbuntu might need some attention16:12
Keybukwe missed out on a readahead update16:13
Keybukbut that's not so important for a respin at this late stage16:13
cjwatsonExtend: we're in the middle of a meeting for a team that does not deal with firefox; this channel is not the best place to ask anyway16:13
cjwatsonKeybuk: did the notification called for in BetaProcess not happen?16:13
Extendcjwatson, what is the topics ?16:13
cjwatsonExtend: foundations team weekly meeting16:13
Keybukcjwatson: the notification happened16:13
Keybukthe rsync of the image is still only 99% complete16:14
cjwatsonah, that's unfortunate16:14
Extendcjwatson, i'm searching for my foundation team and waiting here16:14
Keybukfeel free to tell BT they suck and that I should have faster DSL16:14
* mvo has a fix for fglrx->ati transition in bzr but its not on the CD16:14
* mvo will release note that too16:14
slangasekKeybuk: ah, yuck16:14
cjwatsonKeybuk: do you want that task to be assigned to somebody who can more reliably get the image in future, or do you think you'll be OK with it for final16:15
cjwatson?16:15
KeybukI'm happy to do it if you guys don't respin cds every 20s :p16:16
robbiewheh16:16
robbiewslangasek: on an unrelated note, randa has not forgotten about the DebConf stuff...she's just waiting to hear back on it16:18
slangasekheh, ok16:18
cjwatsonslangasek: which one's the additional Kubuntu failure you haven't looked at - bug 348393?16:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 348393 in debian-installer "[jaunty] Installing in a language other than English, will install English language packages" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34839316:18
slangasekKeybuk: not something we can promise, at all though16:18
slangasekcjwatson: apparently a false alarm, http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/2467/5216:19
cjwatsonKeybuk: I think if you can let us know with a good margin if you feel you aren't going to be able to do it, then somebody else who already has the image could16:19
slangasekwhich links to bug #34843416:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 348434 in ubuntu "Kubuntu Jaunty live cd lacks/does not display plasma-widgets, screen turns black" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34843416:19
Keybukcjwatson: anyone can do it, just boot the live cd in vmware, install it, reboot with "profile", copy the /etc/readahead/boot into the package's debian/boot.list and sed out anything kernel-specific16:20
cjwatsonslangasek: mm, that looks like a duff disk16:20
cjwatsonKeybuk: yeah, that matches the instructions on the wiki I think16:20
cjwatsonoh, except for "sed out anything kernel-specific"16:20
cjwatsoncould you update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReadaheadListUpdate with details?16:20
cjwatsonmaybe the readahead-list package should contain a script to ensure we do it consistently16:21
slangasekcjwatson: it's under virtualbox, could just be a 3d virtualization issue?16:21
Keybukcjwatson: not sure how16:21
cjwatsonslangasek: suspicious comments about squashfs errors16:21
Keybukthat script would be identical to sed -i '/$VER/d'16:21
cjwatsonKeybuk: ok, just note it on the wiki then?16:21
Keybukwiki updated16:21
cjwatsonta16:23
cjwatsonrobbiew: any bugs that mdz is paying attention to that we need to hit up? :)16:24
robbiewheh16:24
robbiew https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bugs16:24
robbiewall of these :P16:24
robbiewbut that's kernel16:25
cjwatsonhah16:25
robbiewdoes anyone have bugs they want to raise?16:25
robbiewthings I should now about...in case asked16:25
slangasekno, only bugs I want to smash16:25
* liw raises the bug that breaks his hardware just before every release16:26
* slangasek reassigns that bug to the 'fate' project16:26
Keybukcjwatson: you mean you don't look keep a very careful eye on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?orderby=-importance&field.subscriber=mdz16:26

KeybukI've had that bookmarked since I became a manager ;)16:26

ubottuUbuntu bug 325973 in nautilus ""Starting File Manager" windows open uncontrollably" [Unknown,Fix released]16:26
robbiewKeybuk: heh16:27
Keybukrobbiew: I think I suggested that one to rick; it's good to know what bugs mdz is likely to ask you about at some point in the future :p16:27
robbiewKeybuk: right, the problem is that you assume he subscribes to all bugs of "interest" ;)16:28
slangasekhmm, I see the number of jaunty-targeted bugs has ballooned since yesterday16:28
slangasekwe were down to one page! <shakes fist>16:28
robbiewok, well I suppose we can cut this meeting short...since I know there's no shortage of things folks could be doing :)16:29
robbiewany "Good News"?16:30
james_wcjwatson was correct, "source package branches" are almost available on launchpad16:30
robbiewwoot!16:30
james_wthe facility, not the branches yet16:30
slangasek"good news" - we're getting a bit more hotkey love in, making some backlight controls work for some sony laptops where it's never worked before16:30
cjwatsonjames_w: will we be able to move ~ubuntu-core-dev/foo/ubuntu to the new location reasonably easily?16:31
james_wyes16:31
robbiewslangasek: speaking of hotkey love...can we make a special call for testing those in the Beta Announcement or Release Notes...which ever is more appropriate/16:31
robbiew?16:31
james_wthough before doing that I would like to be sure that they are consistent with the rest of the packages16:31
cjwatsonpresumably the main problem is cases where it isn't a full-tree representation16:32
james_wexactly16:32
slangasekrobbiew: yes, it's still on my todo list to write something up for the tech overview16:32
james_wtags is a secondary problem, but that I can fix up easily enough16:32
robbiewslangasek: cool, thnx16:32
cjwatsonjames_w: anyone using debcommit -r should be fine, at least16:33

MootBotMeeting started at 12:02. The chair is heno.17:02

henoIt's beta week!17:02
pedro__o/17:02
eeejayhey hey17:02
henotesting is going well :)17:02
davmor2yeap17:03
henoa few cases are lagging as usual17:03
henofader can you get to some ESX testing today?17:03
faderheno: we're getting ESX testing daily in the certification environment17:04
henoDoes anyone have a setup for the Raid test?17:04
faderI can add in some ad-hoc ISO testing if that's what you're looking for17:04
henofader: is that installing automatically now?17:04
faderheno: yep :)17:04
davmor2heno: no single drives throughout I'm afraid17:04
henofader: great, just tick them as done on the tracker then17:05
faderheno: Will do.17:05
henofader: do we have a suitable setup for Raid?17:05
faderWe've got at least one server with RAID hardware but I believe it has only one drive17:06
charlie-tcaheno: I can run RAID on 38617:06
faderIf that qualifies we can use it17:06
charlie-tcaI have 3 drives installed17:06
fadercharlie-tca's setup sounds more suitable :)17:06
henocharlie-tca: great, can you try http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerRAID1 ?17:07
* davmor2 makes a note to get some more drives17:07
charlie-tcaSure. I'm running an OEM test now, then I will do it.17:07
cr3by the way, we've had esx testing on a daily basis since march 6th, it's really awesome!17:07
henoso we're in good shape. Help closing out the cases on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/all/all is appreciated though!17:08
henoon with our regular agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings17:09
heno[TOPIC] UbuntuBugDay highlights -- pedro17:09
MootBotNew Topic:  UbuntuBugDay highlights -- pedro17:09
pedro_We celebrated the cups hug day last Thursday it was pretty good as you can see per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/2009031917:10
pedro_Till Kamppeter and Martin Pitt helped us during the event answering questions regarding the reports, thanks a lot guys!17:11
pedro_from the Bugsquad side paulduf, jgoguen, bigal50, sectech and thekorn made a great work squashing those bugs17:12
henocool!17:12
henothanks, pedro_17:12
henoNew bug control members! -- bdmurray17:12
stgraberheya17:13
pedro_np :-)17:13
henobdmurray: I know you've been away - do you have anything on this topic today?17:13
bdmurrayThis week Joel Goguen was approved as a Bug Control member!  He is interested in desktop applications like Thunderbird, OpenOffice, and Pidgin.17:13
bdmurrayThere are no other applications pending at the moment.17:14
henopedro_: can you put him in touch with members of the desktop team?17:14
henoasac, calc and seb I guess17:15
pedro_heno: yes! I'll put him in contact with them :-)17:15
asac \o/17:15
henoheh17:15
henoNext Testing day topic & highlights from last UTD -- ara17:15
aradavmor2: ^17:16
aradavmor2 was organizing the latest testing day17:16
davmor2heno: it went all a bit pear shape because beta iso became available :)17:16
henoindeed, I should have updated the agenda17:16
davmor2so most of the result actual went there instead of the wiki17:16
henoyes this release has been a bit too smooth ... It's worrying ...17:17
araheno:  :)17:18
davmor2heno: Shhhh you'll jinx it17:18
henothere is still RC and Final17:19
heno[TOPIC] Private crash report triage -- sbeattie17:19
MootBotNew Topic:  Private crash report triage -- sbeattie17:19
sbeattieWhile doing regression triage, I ended up looking at system-config-printer and network-manager's buglists, and found 30-40 private apport bugs for each package.17:20
sbeattiesome reasonably old.17:20
sbeattieWas wondering if anyone is actively focusing on these and making sure they get opened up.17:21
bdmurrayPerhaps we should get a section added for Hug Days?17:21
sbeattiethat would probably be a good idea.17:22
henoIt's currently the responsibility of everyone (and thus no one) on bug-control17:22
bdmurraysbeattie: system-config-printer is python right?17:22
sbeattieyeah17:22
bdmurrayThose are a lot easier to review than core dumps17:23
henoThis would be a great topic for someone on bug-control to take on and drive17:23
sbeattiebdmurray: the apport-retracer is now deleting core-dumps automatically (in some cases?), so newer aborts are fairly easy to review as well.17:24
bdmurraysbeattie: that's good17:24
bdmurrayI think the priority should be to review the most recent ones and the ones with good retraces17:25
henoagreed17:25
henoso, we'll make it a bug day theme; pedro can you incorporate that? I'll email the bugsquad list asking for interested volunteers as well17:26
bdmurrayheno: bug control you mean17:27
bdmurrayIt might neat if we could generate an rss feed of these reports since Launchpad can't.17:27
pedro_heno: sure, I'll add it to the template for future hug days17:27
henobdmurray: I though I would use the bugsquad list but address it mainly to bug control17:28
bdmurrayAh, that make sense then. ;-)17:28
henowhich brings me to:17:28
heno[TOPIC] Plans for triaging the Beta bugs next week -- heno17:29
MootBotNew Topic:  Plans for triaging the Beta bugs next week -- heno17:29
henoWe usually get a good flow of bugs just after Beta17:29
henoshould me make some specific plans for triaging those?17:29
henopedro suggested an extra bug day on Tuesday17:30
stgraberis there an easy way to find them ? (tags or similar) ?17:30
stgraberor just get everything new over the last week or so17:30
henobdmurray made a 'yesterday' list once17:30
henocould we adapt that?17:31
bdmurrayI could probably whip something up like that17:31
henorock!17:31
arabdmurray: could you please do a couple of them? ...17:32
henoI can appeal to the de community to dedicate some time to it also17:32
bdmurrayara: What else did you have in mind?17:32
arabdmurray: one for everything filed "yesterday" and one for everything filed "yesterday" in jaunty beta (through apport, knowing exactly it was in jaunty)17:32
bdmurrayara: okay, got it17:33
arain beta time, when there is not much time left to fix bugs, I think it is more important to focus on well written bugs17:34
bdmurrayright, maybe add in the gravity column too17:34
stgraberara: so basically focusing only on triaged bugs ?17:35
stgraber(still need someone to filter them first though)17:35
henoit would be great if running apport-collect would promote it from the B-list to the A-list :)17:35
arastgraber: no, no. if you file a bug through ubuntu-bug or "Report a problem", you have minimum information to start triaging17:36
bdmurrayYes, I thought having apport-collect tag the bug would be useful too.17:36
arastgraber: it will be still "New" but you can skip traiging questions like "which version of ubuntu are you running?"17:36
henoright, so it's currently non-trivial to pick out bugs treated with apport-collect?17:37
bdmurrayheno: that's correct17:37
stgraberara: right, so just using apport's tags, showing only these who've been retraced (or at least were filed with apport)17:37
henobdmurray: should we have a blurb about the value of running a-c is the gm stock text fragments?17:38
stgraberdo we have an easy way to look for the release in apport's output (as in filter a bug list based on it) other than going through one by one (manually or using a script) ?17:38
bdmurrayheno: I think that would make more sense after Jaunty releases since apport-collect is not available on Intrepid.17:38
henobdmurray: good point17:39
henodid we agree to run a Beta bug day?17:39
henohm, no great demand for that :)17:42
henoso, for beta bdmurray will prepare a target list and I'll address the dev community17:43
henowe can encourage people to join #ubuntu-bugs all week of course17:43
henoBeta Bug Week17:43
henoAny other topics?17:44
henoschwuk is working on a new QA landing page and will post to the list17:45
davmor2whats on the agenda for the next testing day?17:45
sbeattieQA landing page> yay!17:45
sbeattiejust a reminder to tag jaunty bugs that are regressions with regression-potential so they get on both my and the release team's radar.17:46
henodavmor2: looks like there is no decision https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/UbuntuTestingDay/Calendar17:48
henoara: a server day?17:48
araheno: I was talking with mathiaz17:48
araand he told me that for server there's too much work to do with documentation first17:49
mgunesHi all; somewhat late but I'm in..17:49
arahe proposed to review the server documentation as a testing day17:49
arahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyServerGuide17:49
ara"<mathiaz> the goal of the testing day would be to go through these sections and make sure that the outlined intructions are working correclty.17:49
ara on jaunty."17:49
arawhat do you think?17:50
sbeattiemgunes: hey!17:50
henowelcome back mgunes :)17:50
henoara: I'd rather get some real testing in this lose to final17:51
arayes, that's what I thought17:51
henoWe also talked about checkbox17:51
henoHow about a day looking for installer corner cases?17:52
mgunessbeattie, heno, thanks!17:52
araheno: example?17:52
henonot blitzing through lots of installs but doing odd-ball multiple partition stuff17:52
henostart an install and pull the power chord, that sort of thing :)17:53
henoI feel we are being a bit shallow with the ISO install testing17:54
henogoing back and forth in ubiquity and d-i, trying to make it crash17:54
henoperhaps look at old bugs and try to reproduce those17:55
araok, we could do that :-) cjwatson will be pleased ;-)17:55
henoset your display to 800x600 and run in OEM, mode, etc.17:55
davmor2ara: yes I'm sure those are the exact words he'll use :)17:55
cr3do you mean testing those installer corner cases with checkbox?17:55
aracr3: no, it was two different things if I understood correctly17:56
henocr3: no, I changed topic suddenly :)17:56
cr3heno: was that checkbox relating to mathiaz's comment then?17:56
henothough we should make 'run checkbox' part of one of the install cases17:57
henofader: you're on that, right?17:57
faderheno: It's on my list to get into the test cases yes17:57
henocool17:57
henook, that's settled, let's wrap up!17:57
heno#endmeeting17:58

jcastromgunes: good to see you around again!18:01
mgunesjcastro, you too!18:04
cjwatsonheno: I think I'd prefer *not* to have an attempt to reproduce old bugs18:05
cjwatsonheno: the problem is that a lot of installer bugs are very specific to certain situations and it's all too easy to assume that things are fixed if you don't quite understand what caused them in the first place18:05
henocjwatson: heh, ok :) But finding new ones is fine?18:06
cjwatsonheno: absolutely18:06
cjwatsonI'd welcome that18:06
