robbiew[TOPIC] BUGS!!!16:01
MootBotNew Topic:  BUGS!!!16:01
robbiewanything anyone wants to bring up here?16:02
cjwatsondear god there are a lot of them *sweat*16:02
mterry_hi16:02
evandWe are having some issues with webkit bailing out in the installer slideshow, causing the installer to crash.16:02
robbiew:/16:02
cjwatsonany luck with the new upstream release there?16:03
Keybukcjwatson: I actually think that we're in a better state than in jaunty16:03
evandthere's a wrench stuck in the buildds16:03
evandwaiting on elmo to fix things in #soyuz16:03
cjwatson(there was some suggestion that that might fix it, but the changelog is woefully unclear)16:03
cjwatsonKeybuk: that may be true, I don't quite recall ...16:03
Keybukcjwatson: we don't have random intel hangs this time ;)16:03
robbiewevand: is there a workaround for the installer slideshow issue?16:05
robbiewor is it random, so trying again may work16:05
evandsudo apt-get remove ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu16:05
evandin the live environment16:05
Keybuk:-(16:06
Keybukbut the slideshow is made of awesome16:06
robbiewouch16:06
robbiewyeah16:06
cjwatsonthe slideshow bug doesn't happen to everyone FWIW; I've never seen it in kvm16:06
robbiewdamn...too bad we don't have a "skip the slideshow" option in the installer :/16:06
cjwatsonnor on real hw I think16:06
evandindeed, me either16:06
robbiewcjwatson: ack...me neither16:06
robbiewin both real and virtual environments16:07
evandfingers crossed on the latest version fixing it, or someone coming along with a decent stack trace16:07
robbiewpulling it would be rough, as it's already gotten some positive press16:07
evandinterestingly, some of the crashes are not triggering apport16:08
evandthere may be another installer bug here, as I've seen at least one report where removing the slideshow doesn't fix things16:08
evandand the logs are absent of any kind of crash information16:08
evandfor what it's worth, the bugs I'm tracking around these crashes are 445756 441709 448252 440922 442560 and probably more16:09
robbiewok, thanks16:09
cjwatsonthe set of grub bugs that relate to device ordering changes are still open16:10
cjwatson(sorry, don't have the bug numbers to hand right now, am rebooting to test usplash bits)16:10
cjwatsonI have a branch that hopefully addresses a lot of that, but I've had difficulty getting time to finish it and get it landed16:10
robbiewok, np...understand the need for a 48hour workday ;)16:11
cjwatsonso I don't think that is going to land for tonight; if somebody would like to be another pair of eyes at some point, that would be great16:11
robbiewanyone with time to help cjwatson?16:12
robbiewliw? james_w?16:12
liwI can arrange time; I have no expertese in grub and tend to run away from it screaming :(16:12
cjwatsonFWIW this is mostly the upper layer, not much in the boot loader parts itself16:13
james_wI only have a couple of tasks due today, so I could try and help16:13
cjwatsonok, I'll get in touch with one or the other of you then, thanks - probably tomorrow at this rate16:14
robbiewanyone else need to add to my heartburn? :P16:14
=== imlad is now known as imlad|away
Keybukrobbiew: if mdz calls, tell him everything will be ok :p16:16

robbiewokay moving on16:17
robbiewnot going to say much about the Sponsorship Queue at this point in the release ;)16:17
robbiew[TOPIC] Activity Reports16:18
MootBotNew Topic:  Activity Reports16:18
Keybukmterry_: did you want somebody to upload rsyslog for you?16:18
cjwatsonI think I originally set reports to Tuesday because that meant they were as current as possible for the meeting; but that may not be all that big an issue any more16:18
mterry_Keybuk, yes, to fix a kernel message buffering issue from the upstart migration.  bug 43022016:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 430220 in rsyslog "[karmic] Upstart fixups" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43022016:18
cjwatsonsince people are more in the habit of just bringing stuff up16:19
robbiewwell, I'm fine with Tuesday..but it seems like most come in on Thurs or Fri :)16:19
robbiewif sending a simple reminder helps16:19
robbiewI can do that16:19
liwso, changing the dl to Fri would ensure they come in next Tue? :)16:19
robbiewno problem16:19
mterry_(I know this is a temporary problem, but OEM has theirs due on Fri/Mon)16:19
Keybukmterry_: can you mail me the diff.gz you want uploaded? :p16:19
mterry_Keybuk, ok16:20
Keybukrobbiew: there's, of course, a difference between when they're due and what dates they cover ;)16:20
mterry_(And it would be nice for me if my two reports were due same time)16:20
robbiewyeah...that's true16:20
robbiewand I know for slangasek, Friday is bad release-wise16:21
* mvo don't mind when they are due16:21
robbiewb/c we drop on Thursdays and meet on Fridays...so maybe Tuesdays is best16:21
robbiewbut they could cover the preceding Mon-Fri?16:21
mterry_Could they cover the previous week?16:21
mterry_+116:21
robbiew+1 from the guy who leaves in 2 weeks :P16:22
mterry_Hey, there may be future swappers16:22
robbiewtrue16:22
robbiewIMO, I think it's easier to think in terms of Mon-Fri...and then send it in by the next Tuesday16:23
robbiewbut that's just me16:23
evandI'd agree with that16:23
mvosounds good to me16:23
robbiewokay...let's do that16:24
robbiewI'll send out a note to the team after the meeting16:24

robbiew[TOPIC] Good News16:25
MootBotNew Topic:  Good News16:25
KeybukI fixed usplash \o/16:26
KeybukBad News is that I now need therapy for the amount of svgalib I ingested in the process16:26
robbiewheh16:26
mterry_nice16:26
evandI discovered apport-collect, which should make things easier.  So thanks to pitti.16:26
robbiewlol16:26
evandoh and the buildds are working again16:26
cjwatsonfurthermore, after some bouncing back and forth between Keybuk and me, Keybuk might have found a way to lose the text switch between usplash and X16:27
robbiewthat would really be nice16:27
liwLP started talking to me again this afternoon16:27
cjwatsonit does appear to require an X change as well, and I think display manager changes too16:27
cjwatsonKeybuk has it working for him on his madly hacked system, now I'm trying to reproduce the hacks ;-)16:28
robbiewthis is good and bad...as now DX will have ammunition for why we should own the boot splash work :P16:28
Keybukwell, kinda working, it only works if I use nouveau, and then X doesn't work so well <g>16:28
robbiewwell hell16:29
robbiewlol16:29
cjwatsonI think the basics work on Intel16:29
cjwatsonbut I need to grab an X server from one of Bryce's two zillion PPAs first16:29
cjwatsonit basically works on KMS; non-KMS is still going to be ugly16:30
cjwatsonbut that's OK, IMO16:30
