tsonculmorning ava07:26
tsoncultuna was actually me, trying to test something07:26
tsonculsorry about that.07:26
aratsoncul, no worries :)07:26
tsonculA question: are you aware of anyone reporting troubles with the netbook desktop switching on karmic-alpha6?07:27
aratsoncul, not that I'm aware of07:28
aratsoncul, are you having troubles?07:28
tsonculava: yes.07:28
tsonculava: desktop-switcher doesn't disable gnome-panel when going back to netbook mode07:29
aratsoncul, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-switcher/+bug/43444707:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 434447 in desktop-switcher "Desktop switcher won't disable gnome-panel when changing from classic to netbook mode" [Undecided,New]07:29
tsonculava: and since gnome-panel respawns the moment I kill it, I can't use netbook*launcher anymore07:30
aratsoncul, and my name is ara, not ava ;-)07:30
tsonculara: oh yeah..07:30
aratsoncul, better https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-switcher/+bug/43015807:30
ubot4Launchpad bug 430158 in desktop-switcher "desktop-switcher doesn't disable maximus when switching to desktop mode" [Undecided,New]07:30
tsonculara: ava is actually the nick of a friend of mine... sorry..07:30
aratsoncul, that one is a better one07:30
tsonculara: 434447 is my reporting, bt07:30
tsoncul-w07:30
aratsoncul, then it is duplicated ;-)07:31
araI will put it as duplicate07:31
tsonculara: hmm..07:31
tsonculara: it happens the other way, though07:31
tsonculara: the bug happens when we're going from the desktop mode, not to it.07:32
aratsoncul, sure07:32
tsonculara: if you have the time, can you check if 434447 is missing info for triage?07:34
aratsoncul, could you do from a terminal window apport-collect 43444707:35
araplease07:35
tsonculara: sure07:35
tsonculara: done. It's up on launchpad07:38
aratsoncul, cool, i will try to escalate the problem to the mobile team07:38
tsonculara: thanks.07:38
tsonculara: I'll be around both here and in #ubuntu-mobile if you need anything else, for another hour or so.07:40
aratsoncul, ok, thanks!07:40
aratsoncul, btw, are you a regular user of ubuntu netbook remix?07:41
tsonculara: yes07:41
tsonculara: I just got karmic though.07:41
aratsoncul, did you read my post about the ISO tracker?07:42
tsonculara: no, can you point me t it?07:42
aratsoncul, http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/old-friend-iso-testing-tracker/07:42
aratsoncul, maybe you could help us testing the milestone images of netbook remix (and others, if you'd like)07:42
aratsoncul, it is a nice way to help ubuntu07:42
tsonculara: sure07:43
tsonculara: are we talking about daily builds or such?07:43
tsonculara: (and I'm reading the article as I speak now...)07:43
aratsoncul, well, yes and no, the ISO tracker is used only to test the milestones07:43
aralike alpha-n, beta, release candidates, etc07:44
arait is there where we really need help07:44
araso, next week, i.e. we will be testing the candidates for beta07:44
tsonculoh07:45
tsonculso RCs for the beta, to make sure people can at least install the beta07:45
tsonculsomething like that?07:45
arayes07:45
aranext Thursday is the beta, so from next Monday we will be waiting for images to be "candidates" for beta07:46
araif something really big is found, then is fixed, we rebuild the images, and test again07:46
tsonculOK.07:46
arato try to deliver something useful on Thurday07:46
tsonculI'll do that07:46
aragreat! we will be around this channel chatting about the testing and how it goes07:47
arafeel free to come around07:47
tsoncullet me finish reading the blogpost, I'll ask questions in a moment..07:47
aratsoncul,07:47
aratsoncul, sure07:47
tsonculso qa.ubuntu.com isn't on openID?07:48
aratsoncul, I am afraid not yet07:49
tsonculara: is it normal to have a lag between signing up to qa.ubuntu and account activation?07:50
aratsoncul, no, that I remember, no07:51
tsonculara: nevermind07:51
tsonculara: just got the e-mail07:51
aratsoncul, :)07:51
tsonculara: OK, count me in.07:53
aratsoncul, cool :)07:53
tsonculara: I'll check in on Monday for the Beta's ISO testing07:54
aratsoncul, OK, if it is not there on Monday, then Tuesday, then... :D07:55
tsonculara: :)07:57

davmor2Morning All09:22
aramorning davmor209:25
tsonculWas there an update in the lastfew hours or so that removed Services from System/Administration?11:44
davmor2tsoncul: might be mid upload when you upgraded11:49
davmor2tsoncul: a lot of the gnome 2.28 stuff is starting to make it's way in.11:50
tsonculdavmor2: possible. The launcher for that was broken after an update, and it disappeared after a reboot. I was just wondering if that was intentional.11:52
davmor2tsoncul: not that I know to give me a minute though I'm going to fire up some tests on todays daily11:53
davmor2tsoncul: it's on today's iso and works so I'm assuming it might be a broken config issue.  Have you tried running services-admin12:08
tsonculdavmor2: no, I'll do that now..12:09
tsonculdavmor2: hmm.. services-admin is not installed, it says12:10
tsonculinstalling noe12:11
tsonculnow*12:11
tsonculdavmor2: OK, this is a little weird:12:11
davmor2what's that?12:12
tsonculapt-get says gnome-system-tools is the newest available12:12
tsonculyet, services-admin is not installed and may found by installing gnome-system-admin12:12
davmor2tsoncul: yes in that case give it a couple of hours and do another dist-upgrade and see if it gets pulled in then12:13
tsonculdavmor2: OK12:14
tsonculdavmor2: if it'S still broken, which package should I report against, gnome-system-tools?12:14
davmor2gnome-system-tools is just a meta you're best off reporting it against services-admin as that is the package not installed12:15

fader_Morning all13:36
aramorning fader_ :)13:45
davmor2fader_: Morning Dude13:59
davmor2fader_: hows automated today?14:16
fader_davmor2: A little sickly... I was going to let cr3 grab a coffee before I started complaining :)14:16
davmor2fader_: No cr3 works better when he is desperate for the coffee ;)14:17
fader_But since you brought it up... cr3: it looks like the satellites haven't scraped cdimage.u.c lately :/14:17
fader_davmor2: Heh :)14:17
davmor2fader_: Wonder :(14:17
davmor2fader_: I was going to ask if you ran oem as a regular install process being as it would be the most common install for most of the machines ;)14:18
* davmor2 runs and ducks behind the couch knowing that oem is broken hideously14:19
fader_davmor2: :P14:19
fader_davmor2: Sadly we don't currently have an automated way to test oem14:19
fader_That's probably a karmic+1 issue14:20
davmor2fader_: ah so down to me to tell the nice chaps that the install is completely borked then ;)14:20
fader_davmor2: Yep :/  Actually for breakage in any install it's still best for a human to go through it14:21
fader_Even though we install automatically we won't necessarily catch everything14:21
cr3fader_: ... yet :)14:21
fader_And it's difficult to see errors in the install without changing the state of the installer... a heisenburg thing14:21
fader_cr3: Well, yes... but also karmic+1, no? :)14:21
cr3fader_: yes14:22
fader_cr3: Don't let davmor2 know that he can be replaced by a 5-line shell script!  ;)14:22
davmor2no because the automated install process itself is different to a manual install :)  Yay I got it :)14:22
davmor2fader_: No!!!!!!! no bot can be this sarcastic it would just explode trying14:23
fader_We could have it google for dirty words and just copy in whole sentences!  "Today's images are $profanity_string!"14:25
cr3davmor2: don't worry. at best, I can only automate the boring things and try to make your life more enjoyable14:25
davmor2fader_: no, you forgot the "fader_: Morning dude, by the way todays iso are $profanity_string!"14:26
fader_Hehehe14:26
davmor2fader_: the 1 I'm waiting for is the day I give you a heart attack with the news they work fine ;)14:27
fader_davmor2: Nah, you'd be too busy clutching your own chest to type :P14:28
davmor2fader_: And people don't think we take our jobs seriously ;)14:29
davmor2goes for a wubi install wish me luck14:38
aradavmor2, good luck!14:39
davmor2Meh 2 memtest and nothing else :(14:57
tarzeauusing memtester?14:59
jtatumgreetings :)15:19
davmor2Hello15:24
arajtatum, hey! how is it going15:35
jtatumara: going awesome! :) how's stuff with you?15:44
arajtatum, good, thanks :)15:45
fader_ara: Out of curiosity, are you targeting mago at karmic or jaunty right now?16:10
arafader_, karmic16:10
arafader_, in fact, right now I was running them against karmic and fixing those broken16:11
fader_ara: Okay, thanks.  I noticed a few mago test failures in our last batch, so it's good to know that they *should* have worked :)  I think that cr3 and jcollado are still integrating things though16:11
fader_ara: Excellent... I will look forward to new 'pass' results :)16:11
arafader_, I didn't know jcollado was also integrating things with cr316:12
fader_In the future should I let you know when I see these?  I don't think it makes sense to file a bug without someone re-testing16:12
fader_ara: Maybe this was just for ltp then...16:12
fader_ara: I know they were working together but I wasn't involved so I could have the details wrong16:12
arafader_, ok, don't worry16:14
davmor2So guys oem is broken, Wubi is broken, install side by side is errmmm what's the word oh yeah broken :(16:14
fader_ara: Don't worry about mago test failures or about what other people are doing? :)16:14
fader_davmor2: See, that could have been scripted ;)16:14
arafader_, don't worry about not being able to answer my question about cr3 and jcollado business16:15
davmor2fader_: but not with the added sarcasm ;)  You know it would be a script, it just wouldn't feel the same and you know it :)16:15
fader_ara: Okay :)16:15
fader_davmor2: Nah, scripts abuse me all the time :P16:16
davmor2only the ones you right ;)16:16
fader_ara: If you do want me to tell you when I see mago test failures in the automated tests, let me know.  I can ping you by email/IRC, file a bug, whatever you like.16:17
arafader_, great! pinging on irc would be nice :)16:17
fader_ara: Will do.  That is probably best as I won't know if it's a mago bug or an application bug until someone tries it :)16:19
arafader_, thanks!16:20
fader_ara: No problem!16:20
aracr3, hey marc, are you around?16:37
cr3ara: hi there, what's up?16:44
cr3ara: I needed to get in touch with you, I'm getting a few errors with mago. update manager and some notification test is failing16:44
aracr3, I would like to know how do you run mago tests from checkbox (where do you get the mago tests, i.e.)16:44
aracr3, that's why I was approaching you :)16:45
aracr3, in order to fix them, I need to know how you run them :)16:45
cr3ara: bzr branch lp:~hardware-certification/checkbox-certification/trunk checkbox-certification; cd checkbox-certification; ./scripts/mago_suite16:46
cr3ara: it should be pretty straightforward, you don't even need to run checkbox16:46
aracr3, OK, I will work tomorrow on it, I will let you know when fixed16:47
jtatumjcollado: ping :) got a sec to talk about the merge proposal?16:48
cr3ara: can you confirm that the update manager test is working well for you on karmic?16:48
jtatumfwiw, cr3, neither the update-manager tests nor the osd tests work for me in karmic16:48
cr3jtatum: thanks for the confirmation16:49
jtatumand pidgin fails on vanilla installs since it's not there16:49
jcolladojtatum: Sure16:49
mvohas that something to do with update-manager? or with the tests?16:49
cr3ara: ^^^16:49
aracr3, I will have a look tomorrow, I will let you guys know16:50
aramvo, probably with the tests themselves, so don't worry too much16:50
cr3ara: if you could also have a look at the Internet suite on karmic, I'd appreciate16:50
cr3ara: for your reference, here are the failures I had yesterday: https://certification.canonical.com/submission/ogJqFZpXOBUbyUY/results?form.status=fail16:51
cr3ara: note that some of the failures aren't necessarily related to mago, but you should be able to identify the suites easily16:51
cr3ara: also note that I don't have the <message> content, so I fixed my integration to contain that information now16:51
jtatumjcollado: I agree with you about the test case order in gcalctool_views.xml. I didn't think about that and will update the test.16:52
aracr3, OK, thanks a lot16:52
mvothanks ara16:52
jcolladojtatum: Great! The test cases are already right, but I though that could make them a little better.16:53
jtatumjcollado: as far as calculations, though, it was a conscious decision not to clear the calculator prior to input. clear is done once during suite setup. I figure if the equals sign doesn't work as it should, we should see failed tests to indicate that.16:53
jcolladojtatum: If the equal sign doesn't work for a test case, then the failed test case should be that one, but that shouldn't affect the following ones.16:56
jcolladojtatum:  Anyway the case I saw in which that happened the LDTP or AT-SPI registry wasn't working correctly so no test cases would have passed anyway.16:56
jcolladojtatum: So if you want to keep the tests as they are it's ok.16:57
jcolladojtatum: I just wanted to point out that failure possibility.16:57
jtatumjcollado: technically you're right, but it would be a lot of overhead to test the equals sign within each test, at least the way I think it would have to be tested. as we test more complicated things, failures are going to start cascading through tests I imagine.16:58
jcolladojtatum: No problem then. As it was discussed in the mail list, first priority is to increase coverage. We'll have time to be picky in the future.17:01
jtatumjcollado: makes sense :) thanks for your time :)17:01
jcolladojtatum: Welcome17:02
nagappancr3, in VMware during our testing, we are unable to install Ubuntu 9.10 alpha 4, 5, 6 on DELL 3400, when the X coming up during installation, it just hangs, is this a known issue or is there a way, I can do text mode installation ?18:21
nagappancr3, also we noticed that there is no xorg.con in /etc/X11, is this changed in Ubuntu 9.10 ?18:22
cr3nagappan: I haven't encountered that problem myself, but I don't have a Dell 3400 where mileage might vary depending on SKU. more importantly, what's the graphics controller on the machine?18:34
cr3nagappan: yep, there's no xorg.conf under /etc/X11 anymore18:34
nagappancr3, ok, the graphics card is NVidia18:46
cr3nagappan: just to make sure I understand: 1. if you try to install from the desktop image, you can't install because the graphical interface just hangs; 2. if you try to install from the alternate image, the installation succeeds and the system boots properly into the graphical interface. right?18:55
nagappancr3, Ubuntu 8.04 / 8.10 / 9.04 are working fine, we are selecting to install from the initial install option in grub (I think its grub menu, correct me if I'm wrong)19:02
cr3nagappan: can you confirm that my point #2 is correct19:04
nagappancr3, alternate image ?19:04
nagappancr3, I don't get this19:04
cr3nagappan: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/19:05
cr3what you call "text mode installation", I suspect. however, I would like to make sure we are talking about the same thing19:05
nagappancr3, I tried using Clonezilla image, took Ubuntu 9.10 image from custom hardware and deployed on DELL3400 and the image was successfully restored, but while booting, when it goes to X, it just hangs, keyboard, mouse. Hard reset is the only option19:06
nagappancr3, text mode means, instead of X based installation, I think I have used something like that on SUSE long back, thought something like that will be there on Ubuntu19:07
nagappanncurses I think19:07
nagappaninstead of X mode installation UI19:07
cr3nagappan: can you try installing from one of the alternate images available at the above URL and let me know if you get the same problem when rebooting after the installation?19:08
nagappancr3, when we try with alpha image, we are not even taken to the installation screen, once it goes to X, the complete system hangs19:09
nagappancr3, let me explain once again :)19:09
nagappancr3, I tried 2 ways, 1. Installing using Alpha 6 image 2. Deploy using Clonezilla - www.clonezilla.org19:10
nagappancr3, took the image from another system and tried deploying19:10
nagappancr3, in both the cases, when X comes up, the system hangs. Difference is in # 1, the CD image based X was hanging, in # 2, the cloned image X was hanging19:11
cr3nagappan: point me to the URL of the image you tried19:11
nagappancr3, hope this info is clear :)19:11
nagappancr3, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-6/karmic-desktop-amd64.iso19:12
cr3nagappan: also, please provide more details about the nvidia graphics controller you're using. I have plenty of systems running with nvidia and there's no problem, so the problem is not with all nvidia controllers19:12
nagappancr3, ok19:12
nagappancr3, let me check19:12
cr3nagappan: vendor_id:product_id and subvendor_id:subproduct_id would be nice, as returned by lspci -vvnn19:13
nagappancr3, http://pastebin.com/d8c4e08419:19
nagappancr3, http://pastebin.com/d4a3105ac19:19
nagappancr3, we tried on safe graphics mode as well during installation, that doesn't help19:19
nagappancr3, also OEM option19:20
* nagappan getting the info asked by cr3 19:20
cr3nagappan: sorry dude, I do not see where you provided the information requested19:21
nagappancr3, http://pastebin.com/d1a8c7b1f19:22
cr3nagappan: yay, thank you19:22
nagappancr3, this is not my box, so I have to run to other office to get the info :)19:23
nagappancr3, I'm happily running Ubuntu 9.04 :)19:23
nagappancr3, BTW, this info from Ubuntu 9.04 on the same machine, where we failed to install Ubuntu 9.1019:24
nagappancr3, we have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on this hardware using safe graphics mode19:24
cr3nagappan: I just looked in our database and there's no sign of that particular model of graphics controller19:27
nagappancr3, ok19:27
cr3nagappan: the closest I see is a Quadro NVS 130M, one moment19:27
nagappancr3, ok19:28
cr3nagappan: it happens to be a laptop though and I recall it working properly, no luck :(19:29
nagappancr3, ah ! ok19:30
cr3nagappan: could you report a bug in launchpad about it and subscribe me to it?19:30
nagappancr3, sure19:30
cr3nagappan: since you happen to have 9.04 working on it, I might suggest you run the command: ubuntu-bug xorg19:32
cr3nagappan: this will gather all the necessary information, such as the lspci -vvnn information that I already requested, so that you don't have to do all that work again manually19:32
nagappancr3, sure19:32
cr3nagappan: you can then modify the bug information to reflect the problem you're having installing Karmic, of course19:33
nagappancr3, sure19:33
cr3but at least you'll have all the necessary information so that the xorg folks can troubleshoot19:33
nagappancr3, ok19:33
* nagappan heading to the test machine19:33
cr3nagappan: thanks, sorry I couldn't be of much help, there's only so much hardware we have on hand to reproduce such problems :(19:33
nagappancr3, np :) thanks for your time19:34
nagappancr3, I get "Could not upload data to crash database"19:38
nagappancr3, "<urlopen error timed out>"19:38
nagappancr3, I have proxy settings for system wide19:38
nagappancr3, anything else, I have to do ?19:38
cr3nagappan: hm, the lack of support for proxy configurations in apport has annoyed me for a while :(19:42
nagappancr3, :)19:42
cr3nagappan: do you happen to have another machine which is not behind the proxy?19:43
cr3I suspect there might be a way to gather information using apport and then report from another machine, not sure though19:43
nagappancr3, all the machines in VMware are connected through proxy, unless we use laptop19:45
cr3nagappan: instead of ubuntu-bug, try: apport-cli -p xorg19:48
nagappancr3, sure19:49
cr3nagappan: you will be prompted: K: Keep report file for sending later or copying to somewhere else19:49
nagappancr3, sure19:49
cr3nagappan: you could then report to launchpad from a laptop19:49
nagappancr3, perfect19:50
* nagappan doing now19:50
cr3nagappan: thanks, it will be really sweet to support the graphics controller on the dell 3400, especially considering it's a desktop19:50
nagappancr3, :)19:56
nagappancr3, I have to use -f option to apport-cli19:56
nagappancr3, but when I do K after that (when prompted), I get19:57
nagappancr3, "Problem report file: None"19:57
nagappancr3, when I try view it on the screen it works fine, but since its 266KB, I don't want to scroll them and copy19:57
nagappancr3, any other way19:58
* nagappan stepping out, will be back in an hour20:01
