mvo_yeah (or somehting like that)!16:02
robbiewheh16:02
robbiewand the plan is to make a call for testing16:02
robbiewand then assuming things go well...drop Add/Remove in Beta for it16:03
robbiewanyone have concerns?16:03
robbiewguess not16:04
robbiewliw: is CJ ready to go?16:04
liwrobbiew, I need to get a few threading bugs fixed; I'm waiting for the PPA to build the packages so I can ask bug reporters to verify16:04
robbiewokay...that's fine16:05
robbiewthnx16:05
robbiewevand1: can you remind me on the firefox thing in slideshow?16:05
robbiewdid that get worked out?16:05
evand1I'm uploading a version with the icon unmodified, then speaking with Mozilla about the possibility of having a modified version with a reflection.16:06
robbiewokay....the things we have to worry about...heh16:06
robbiewdid design ever comment on the slides?16:06
* robbiew thinks they look fine as is....but he's only a stupid engineering manager :/16:07
robbiewevand1:^^16:07
evand1nope16:07
evand1not yet16:07
robbiewok...well, we've given them the chance16:08

robbiewbug 42770916:08
robbiewthat's just an MIR16:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 427709 in insserv "[MIR] insserv" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42770916:09
Keybukit's already in main16:09
cjwatsonit's not a6-critical since we promoted it to main in advance of the review16:09
* cjwatson has no opinion on whether a review is in fact needed16:09
robbiewcool...okay16:09
robbiewbug 43061116:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430611 in dbus "dbus fails to start on clean boot using upstart job" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43061116:10
cjwatsonwe've applied two fixes which may help with that16:11
robbiewlooks like that is still being investigated16:11
robbiewack16:11
cjwatsonone of them is moving libexpat to /lib from /usr/lib, since dbus-daemon links against it16:11
cjwatsonthe other, which Keybuk uploaded earlier, is having dbus start on local-filesystems rather than virtual-filesystems, so that /var/lib is available16:12
cjwatsonI don't think we've yet had confirmation that that clears everything up, unless I missed it16:12
robbiewright...nothing in the bug at least16:13
robbiewthanks16:13
robbiewand then there's bug 43049616:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430496 in mountall "mountall blocks boot before cryptsetup is started" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43049616:13
robbiewagain...looks like still in the early stages16:14
cjwatsonthat I'm not sure about, though I know Keybuk said he was aware of it ...16:14
robbiewack16:15
robbiew[TOPIC] Good news16:15
MootBotNew Topic:  Good news16:15
robbiew2/3 of my machines booted fine with A6 stuff from this morning :P16:15
cjwatsonI know I had some earlier this week, but I seem to have forgotten ...16:15
james_wkerneloops is in and on by default and seems to be doing it's job nicely16:16
robbiewwhoohoo16:16
cjwatsonoh, there seems a fairly decent chance that we can get rid of the horrible /boot on NTFS bind-mount in Wubi16:16
evand1I have PolicyKit support in usb-creator sorted.  It doesn't change the UI in any way, so it shouldn't need a UI exception.  And it fixes a few odd bugs that come with running as root.16:16
robbiewawlright!16:16
james_w(or at least has filed some bugs and sent reports to kerneloops.org without getting any bugs filed against kerneloops or apport)16:16
james_wplus, thanks to al-maisan there are less than half a dozen open bzr-builddeb bugs16:18

robbiewLinuxCon/Plumbers next week16:20
robbiewanything else?16:21
mterryooh16:21
ScottKThanks to cjwatson for kicking off the archive rebuild test.16:21
ScottKThe good news is the failure rate is still less than 15%.16:21
mterryKeybuk, I found some issues with the rsyslog upstart conversion, probably worth pushing before alpha 6?16:22
mterryKeybuk, bug 43022016:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430220 in rsyslog "[karmic] Upstart fixups" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43022016:22
mterryKeybuk, otherwise logs don't rotate16:22
Keybukmterry: the invoke-rc.d reload thing should work - it'll send HUP16:23
Keybukjust bitch about it a bit16:23
mterryKeybuk, HUP doesn't work for rsyslog16:23
Keybukbs=1 must be an accident16:23
Keybukthe fifo creation stuff has to be in rsyslog16:23
Keybukbecause rsyslog won't start until it exists ;)16:23
mterryKeybuk, that's why I changed kmsg to 'starting rsyslog'16:24
Keybukchanging to starting/stopped would work too though - you're right16:24
Keybukif you prefer it that way - that's fine by me ;)16:24
* mterry doesn't care, just seemed right to me16:24
robbiewokie dokie....anything else16:25
mterryKeybuk, wait, I don't see the HUP logic for a reload16:25
cjwatsonI milestoned bug 43060716:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430607 in ubiquity "Selecting "Installing Ubuntu" starts the Live CD, but not Ubiquity" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43060716:25
mterryKeybuk, we can talk about that later though16:25
cjwatsonwhich is actually triaged/high and has "(needs conversion to Upstart)" appended to the title; silly bot16:25
robbiewheh16:26
cjwatsonScott helped me out getting the job definition right, so I'm just about to test that16:26
cjwatsonScottK: good news, but a lot of packages numerically :-/16:27
ScottKcjwatson: There was a slight bit of sarcasm buried in the "only 15%".  It's great news to have the rebuild.  The results concern me.16:28
cjwatsonah, I did wonder if we were calibrated differently ;-)16:28
cjwatsonsome kind of app where we could annotate failures with reasons would be nice16:29
Keybukprobably glibc API breakages ;)16:31
al-maisancjwatson: hmm .. what did you have in mind?16:31
al-maisanCould launchpad be extended to provide that?16:31
cjwatsonwell, like http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20090909.html except that you can note a description of each failure to avoid duplicating work, a bit like the comments field in merge-o-matic16:32
cjwatsonI'm sure launchpad *could* be extended but it doesn't even provide a nice view of all failures at the moment, let alone providing a comment field, so a mashup is probably a more sensible short/medium-term approach16:32
al-maisanright.16:33
ScottKKeybuk: It's a lot of gcc 4.4 related failures.16:34
ScottKthat's the largest source anyway.16:34
ScottKThe ubuntuwire view does provide a nice tooltip for depwait to tell you what package it's waiting for on hover.16:35

araThere was a major issue with dbus not being run, and the session never started18:02
arathey are also going to upload debian-installer, so -server is also going to be respin18:02

ScottKI think the failure rate in the current archive rebuild test is concerning.18:11

marjo[TOPIC]  failure rate in the current archive rebuild test18:12
MootBotNew Topic:   failure rate in the current archive rebuild test18:12
ScottKIt's mostly tied to gcc 4.4 changes.18:12
ScottKThe concern is the stuff that is built, but can't be rebuilt is a risk for post-release support.18:12
ScottKWe had a MOTU training session last Friday on fixing FTBFS and another scheduled for this Friday, but it's a lot to fix.18:13
ScottKThis was discussed at the last release team meeting too.18:13
sbeattieScottK: do you think we need to be detecting these earlier in the cycle?18:13
ScottKThat'd be nice.18:14
ScottKWe have archive rebuilds in the development schedule, but AFAIK, they aren't being done.18:14
ScottKThis one was started when I asked for it.18:14
cjwatsonyeah, it's only quite recently that we've had the ability to do them ourselves rather than asking IS18:14
cjwatsonand so we haven't got into the habit18:14
ScottKcjwatson: Maybe it should go on whatever checklist is used for the DIF milestone.18:15
sbeattieHow long does it take? Should it be done on a regular basis?18:15
ScottKWe're a week into this one and it's ~ half done18:15
cjwatsonScottK: I think this is a bug in me, really18:16
ScottKOK.18:16
ScottKI also think we need a more methodical approach to identifying and classifying the sources of failures.18:17
marjocjwatson: is there any new action to log here?18:17
marjo[IDEA]  methodical approach to identifying and classifying the sources of failures18:18
MootBotIDEA received:   methodical approach to identifying and classifying the sources of failures18:18
cjwatsonmarjo: not one that isn't already on other lists (i.e. the release schedule)18:19
marjook thx18:19
marjoscottk: anything else on this topic?18:20
sbeattieFor the record, the build failure fixing session will be Fri Sep 18, at 1900 UTC in #ubuntu-motu18:20
ScottKJust a plea for people to help us fix it.18:20
ScottKPlease show up.18:20
marjofolks: anything other topics?18:21
arasbeattie, where can I find logs later on?18:21
fader_marjo: I'd like to mention the checkbox USB stick stuff :)18:21
fader_cr3 and I have been working with manjo on the kernel team to prepare a USB stick that will run Checkbox on peoples' machines at the Atlanta Linux Fest this weekend.18:21
marjo[TOPIC]  checkbox USB stick18:21
MootBotNew Topic:   checkbox USB stick18:21
ScottKara: We'll do the session in #ubuntu-motu, so it'll be on irclogs.ubuntu.com18:21
fader_http://atlantalinuxfest.org/18:21
MootBotLINK received:  http://atlantalinuxfest.org/18:21
sbeattieara: my guess would be the usual IRC log server, but someone going through after the fact and wiki-fying it as a howto would be useful.18:21
fader_The idea is to get these tests run on many different systems and collect the results to see what works, what doesn't, and where we can most effectively focus resources to improve the user experience18:22
fader_Hopefully we'll have some good news from this for a meeting in the future.18:23
arafader_, who is going to run this?18:23
bdmurrayspeaking of checkbox, I ran into an issue yesterday where no tests were running and I reported a bug about it...18:23
cr3ara: the festival is expecting 500 people, so hopefully they will be running this :)18:24
fader_ara: manjo is running this at the fest.  He will have a number of USB sticks and some volunteers who will help people run the tests18:24
sbeattiefader_: do you need help testing of the usb images?18:24
fader_So we should get a pretty big chunk of results.18:24
cr3bdmurray: I'd like to push another release today, I'll try to have a look at it. thanks for the report!18:24
fader_sbeattie: manjo would be the right person to ask about that, but I believe at this point he has them finalized and ready to go18:24
marjofader_: anything else on this topic?18:25
fader_marjo: Nope, unless people have questions18:25
* sbeattie wonders if the images should be made available somewhere for loco events, personal tests, etc.18:25
fader_sbeattie: We've had similar ideas.  I'm not sure where the best location for this is but it's something we definitely want to consider.18:26
marjosbeattie: excellent idea; let's see how it goes at atlanta18:26
davmor2could be good for GBJ too18:26
fader_Or even possibly making checkbox more noticeable and accessible from the live environment, so that the CD can be used for this purpose18:26
bdmurrayits hard to put a CD in your pocket ;-)18:27
cr3fader_: ideally, the checkbox shipped with the live cd should be as useful as the one currently shipped with manjo's usb key18:27
cr3fader_: I don't like the idea of having another checkbox client floating around18:27
fader_bdmurray: True, but if the USB creator is used from an ISO I'd expect you'd get the same results :)18:27
marjocr3: agree!18:27
fader_cr3: +1; I would want to get everything merged into mainline checkbox before attempting to get it into the live environment18:28
cr3marjo: I definately want to have a topic at uds about making this happen with the implication that the certification website be opened for receiving submissions from the public18:28
marjocr3: ok18:30
marjo[ACTION] Include Checkbox topic at UDS18:30
MootBotACTION received:  Include Checkbox topic at UDS18:30
