| fader_ | marjo: you know if you don't test things you can keep the bug numbers low :) | 02:34 |
| marjo | fader_: yes, classic QA problem | 02:34 |
| fader_ | marjo: We can have the Boston vs. New York thing here... see who can file the best bug :) | 02:35 |

| fader_ | marjo: Any bugs yotux files count toward my total. | 02:36 |
| fader_ | (C'mon, yotux! :D ) | 02:36 |
| fader_ | It's quiet tonight... usually ISO testing is more raucous. Maybe for beta. :/ | 02:37 |
| marjo | fader_: just finding dup bugs from alpha2 | 02:37 |
| fader_ | marjo: See, like I said, there's your mistake... of course if you *look* for bugs you're going to find them! | 02:38 |
| marjo | fader_: ack | 02:38 |
| fader_ | marjo: Every time you say that I think of this: http://isitluck.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/bill-the-cat-ack.jpg | 02:38 |
| marjo | fader: +1 | 02:39 |
| marjo | fader: boot speed is pretty fast even on my acer aspire one | 02:40 |
| fader_ | \o/ | 02:40 |
| marjo | how's it booting for you? | 02:40 |
| fader_ | I got an SSD in the mail yesterday; I can't wait to hook that up and see how my boot looks | 02:41 |
| marjo | oh nice! | 02:41 |
| fader_ | Meh, pretty fast, but I haven't been clocking it | 02:41 |
| fader_ | I'm also doing this in VirtualBox | 02:41 |
| fader_ | So it's not a great test | 02:41 |
| fader_ | *test of boot speed :P | 02:41 |
| marjo | fader_ shouldn't davmor2 be up in the middle of the night testing wubi or something? | 02:45 |
| fader_ | marjo: +1 | 02:45 |
| fader_ | I miss when he tested all the ISOs and the rest of us just hung out and kibbitzed | 02:45 |
| marjo | fader_ yeah, i feel like he's slacking off these days | 02:45 |
| marjo | maybe hggdh, bladernr & ameetp will pick up the slack | 02:46 |
| marjo | in US time zones | 02:46 |
| fader_ | We should find out where he lives, go to his house in the middle of the night, and make puppydog eyes at him until he feels bad and starts testing | 02:46 |
| fader_ | hggdh, bladernr-away, ameetp: marjo's volunteering you for things again | 02:47 |
| marjo | fader_ I can just see his face! | 02:47 |
| fader_ | Yeah, it'd probably be making a gigantic "NO" | 02:47 |
| fader_ | :) | 02:47 |
| marjo | AFAIK, it's past dinner time in the US | 02:47 |
| marjo | fader: anybody using testdrive? | 02:48 |
| marjo | i don't have the hardware for it | 02:48 |
| fader_ | marjo: I think hggdh was using it earlier but he was running into problems booting afterward | 02:48 |
| marjo | but it's supposed to also work under virtualbox | 02:48 |
| marjo | ah ok | 02:48 |
| fader_ | Hmm | 02:49 |
| fader_ | He was using it under kvm, but that's all I know | 02:49 |
| hggdh | I was using testdrive, but something is not going kosher here | 02:50 |
| marjo | hggdh: you might want to report your non-kosher issues to dustin | 02:50 |
| hggdh | bllody virtualbox states I do not have an AMD64, and testdrive/kvm is not quite working out either | 02:50 |
| marjo | dustin aka kirkland | 02:51 |
| hggdh | I will. One of the issues I already traced to an open bug (-vga std fails) | 02:51 |
| fader_ | hggdh: What processor do you have? That's the first I've heard of virtualbox hating on an amd64 | 02:52 |
| marjo | hggdh: well, do YOU have AMD64, gotta have that VT technology or the equivalent in AMD chips | 02:52 |
| hggdh | :-) I have a AMD64 Turion x2 | 02:52 |
| hggdh | trueAMD, and all that | 02:52 |
| fader_ | Virtualbox will let you run VMs without virtualization support in the processor, so I'm extra confused | 02:52 |
| hggdh | vBox is refusing to run stating I have a i686 | 02:53 |
| fader_ | hggdh: Did you install from a 32-bit disc? | 02:53 |
| fader_ | What does uname -a say? | 02:53 |
| hggdh | Linux xango 2.6.32-14-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Sat Feb 20 05:18:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 02:54 |
| fader_ | Weird. | 02:54 |
| hggdh | tell me :-( | 02:55 |
| marjo | fader_: vBox even runs on my acer w/ little ole atom chip | 02:55 |
| hggdh | I have gone back 4 kernel versions (it *was* working, some time ago) to -10, and nothing (except I got my vterms back) | 02:55 |
| fader_ | I blame davmor2 | 02:56 |
| hggdh | I have tried vbox-ose and vbox proprietary, same thing | 02:56 |
| fader_ | (mostly because he's not here to defend himself) | 02:56 |
| hggdh | :-) | 02:56 |
| hggdh | so far, this week I have booted & installed the bloody server CD some 30 times. | 02:57 |
| fader_ | If it makes you feel any better, the MythTV theme I've been waiting for looks like it's in SVN for the same version of Myth that's going to be on the next Mythbuntu: http://www.fecitfacta.com/Arclight/Welcome.html | 02:58 |
| fader_ | (It probably doesn't, but it makes *me* feel better) | 02:58 |
| hggdh | LOL | 02:58 |
| fader_ | hggdh: Welcome to my world :) | 02:58 |
| fader_ | I close my eyes and see the CD language selection screen :) | 02:58 |
| hggdh | I was ogling a 12-gauge nearby, and wondering on a radical redesign/reengineering of my laptop | 02:59 |
| fader_ | It would be better ventilated after that, for sure | 02:59 |
| hggdh | guess so. I would also have no more issues with the video card | 03:00 |
| fader_ | Hehe | 03:00 |
| hggdh | But I swear, next laptop will (1) have a smaller screen (17'' is good, but BIG); use Intel for video, wireless, etc) | 03:05 |
| fader_ | hggdh: That's why you need a huge laptop for daily use and a netbook for travel :) | 03:06 |
| fader_ | Any excuse to buy new toys. | 03:07 |
| hggdh | well, there's that, yes. Hum. | 03:07 |
| * hggdh starts thinking on how to explain to wife a new toy | 03:07 | |
| charlie-tca | heh, it gets a little better with time. I do at least 4 installs every day | 03:08 |
| fader_ | "It is easier to get forgiveness than permission." | 03:08 |
| hggdh | nice one! | 03:08 |
| fader_ | Yeesh, I don't know what KDE is doing but it's thrashing like crazy on first boot | 03:11 |
| fader_ | Ah, file indexing. That explains it. | 03:12 |
| fader_ | Okay, Real Life is calling me... I'm being required to go be social briefly before bedtime. G'night all! | 03:21 |
| marjo | fader_: be social! g'night! | 03:21 |
| fader_ | marjo: Don't test too much. You'll find more bugs! | 03:21 |
| marjo | fader_: go New York! | 03:22 |

| slangasek | hum, has there only been one install test of UNE? Is anyone else seeing bug #527528? | 11:39 |

| slangasek | plars, GrueMaster: ^^ I guess that's not affecting arm netbook images, or you would've shouted? :) | 11:39 |
| persia | I've been playing with current UNE (x86) with a hacked ubiquity and didn't see that,but it might be the hacked ubiquity. | 11:40 |
| slangasek | hmm | 11:40 |
| plars | slangasek: are we sure that bug submitter is using the current alpha? | 12:14 |
| plars | InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Netbook 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100107) | 12:14 |
| plars | slangasek: ^^ | 12:14 |
| slangasek | plars: that likely just indicates he filed the report from his normal lucid install rather than from his test install | 12:15 |
| slangasek | plars: since the bug was correctly linked from an ISO test report :) | 12:16 |
| persia | There was a case reported today in #ubuntu-bugs of a user who was confused that someone linked to their (previously filed) bug from the ISO test report. | 12:17 |
| persia | (not the same bug, but probably not an uncommon phenomenon) | 12:18 |
| plars | slangasek: it was just a red flag for me, especially combined with the bug only affecting 1 person, and the comment that it was a bug that they saw in alpha2 that they are now seeing again in alpha3 | 12:18 |
| slangasek | plars: OTOH, he's the *only* person who's reported doing a test install of UNE so far :/ | 12:19 |
| plars | right | 12:19 |
| plars | slangasek: if I weren't *just* waking up and having to head out to an early dr. appointment, I'd pull the image and try to reproduce now myself, unfortunately I'm not in a position to do so at the moment | 12:19 |
| slangasek | 'sok, let's make Europe do it | 12:20 |

| czajkowski | persia: if you've any tips on upgradding my hardy machine mini 9 bought from dell to lucid do let me know | 12:28 |
| czajkowski | slangasek: tell me about it! | 12:29 |
| persia | czajkowski: Grab usb-creator from hardy-backports, use it on a lucid iso to create a boot stick. Boot off that to make sure that the kernel has the support you need. Either reinstall or do-release-upgrade as you like. | 12:30 |
| czajkowski | that solves my lunchtime plans, shall upgrade the mini then | 12:31 |
| persia | czajkowski: Do test though: it may be that something doesn't work (because those didn't precisely ship with Ubuntu) | 12:33 |
| czajkowski | yes I suspect it won't be just straight forward | 12:33 |
| persia | It may be though. | 12:34 |
| === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn | ||
| czajkowski | persia: doing do-release-upgrade shows no new release found | 13:32 |
| persia | czajkowski: I suspect someone hacked that then. Hrm. | 13:33 |
| persia | czajkowski: Try manually installing update-manager 1:0.87.31 from hardy-updates and trying again, with `do-release-upgrade -d` | 13:34 |
| czajkowski | update-manger was installed | 13:35 |
| czajkowski | added -d still same message | 13:35 |
| czajkowski | no new release found | 13:35 |
| persia | *which* update-manager? | 13:35 |
| persia | And did you report on the ISO tracker about your experience with the Alpha 3 ISO with usb-creator? | 13:36 |
| czajkowski | didnt have a usb on me said I;d just jump in and update | 13:36 |
| ara | czajkowski, what about "update-manager -d" | 13:37 |
| persia | czajkowski: WHat'S the output of `apt-cache show update-manager | grep ^Version`? | 13:38 |

| czajkowski | mvo_: run as sudo, am behind a firewall... | 13:42 |
| * persia really thinks it's a hacked update-manager to not support dist-upgrades. | 13:42 | |
| mvo_ | czajkowski: what does "DEBUG_UPDATE_MANAGER=1 update-manager -d" print? please try running as normal user | 13:42 |
| czajkowski | mvo_: will do | 13:42 |
| mvo_ | thanks | 13:42 |
| * ara steps out for lunch | 13:43 | |
| czajkowski | mvo_: thats funky, it launched update manager and in the terminal it outputs Metarelease._init_() useDevel=True useProposed=Fakse | 13:44 |

| czajkowski | no self.metarelease_information | 13:44 |

| czajkowski | persia: I tried your command and nothing happend | 13:45 |
| mvo_ | ok, so it appears that it can not connect to changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release, if you do a wget on that, does that work? | 13:45 |

| persia | czajkowski: The Mini 9 ships with an Ubuntu derivative that has a bunch of stuff different and definitely doesn't intentionally support upgrades. | 13:52 |
| czajkowski | hmm i thought it was explained it could only support LTS so I've been waiting since i got it to upgrade to next LTS | 13:53 |
| persia | czajkowski: Anyway, force-install http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-manager/update-manager_0.87.31_all.deb and then it should work properly. | 13:54 |
| czajkowski | persia: add it to the software sources? | 13:55 |
| persia | czajkowski: If you activate that link it ought pull a package you want installed. Running update-manager after that ought do the right thing (that's the Ubuntu hardy update-manager) | 13:56 |
| persia | When you run it in dist-upgrade mode, it should handle dealing with the software sources (I think). | 13:56 |
| persia | mvo may know better. | 13:57 |
| czajkowski | ok | 13:57 |
| persia | Oh, that devices claims to be "lpia" doesn't it? | 13:58 |
| czajkowski | yes | 13:58 |
| persia | If it's "lpia" then you need to reinstall. | 13:58 |

| slangasek | downloading the hardy dpkg and apt debs for i386 and dpkg -i --force-architecture should be enough to trick it, I think? | 14:01 |

| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 527832 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "[Lucid] Ubiquity shuts off my monitor during the startup to live environment (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/527832 | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | It is very consistent blanking my monitor every time; both ubuntu and xubuntu do it | 15:12 |
| hggdh | does it recover? | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | probably won't get fixed for alpha3, but should be in the notes | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | It takes 7-8 minutes to get to the desktop | 15:13 |
| hggdh | bad | 15:13 |
| charlie-tca | oops; 7-8 minutes to the gdm screen; 13-18 minutes to the desktop | 15:13 |
| fader_ | charlie-tca: I think davmor2 was seeing something similar | 15:16 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is a conflict with plymouth and nvidia | 15:16 |
| charlie-tca | Just seems like users are not going to wait to see anything when it takes so long | 15:17 |
| fader_ | It's not a bug, it's a feature to enforce a stretching break! | 15:18 |
| fader_ | Speaking of which... | 15:18 |
| * fader_ installs updates and reboots. | 15:18 | |
| charlie-tca | OH! :-) | 15:18 |

| fader_ | Hmm, I can't seem to manage to boot lucid at all after installing it to real hardware :( | 19:33 |
| sbeattie | fader_: how is it failing? I've had it succeed here... | 19:35 |
| fader_ | sbeattie: It hangs on boot, whether or not I let plymouth run | 19:35 |
| sbeattie | fader_: what flavor? | 19:35 |
| fader_ | If I do the default boot it hangs on the ubuntu splash screen and ignores ctrl+alt_Fx | 19:35 |
| fader_ | If I do nosplash I see boot messages and then it hangs anyway | 19:35 |
| fader_ | amd64 desktop | 19:36 |
| fader_ | I wonder if it's possibly nvidia related | 19:36 |
| sbeattie | quite likely; my nvidia system turns off it's display during the plymouth portion of boot. | 19:36 |
| sbeattie | (but it's also old and a 32 bit machine) | 19:37 |
| fader_ | Yeah, I heard about that, but I haven't seen it. I'm letting this system sit where it seems to be hung for a while and see what happens | 19:37 |
| * sbeattie is currently trying to do an ubuntustudio install, but that's on a machine with ati graphics. | 19:38 | |
| fader_ | As much as I hated trying to play Civilization IV under Wine on it, my old Intel graphics system always worked. | 19:40 |
| * fader_ sighs wistfully. | 19:40 | |
| sbeattie | indeed, I've rarely needed 3D support, so I've had several intel based machines because they tended to just work (and not break things like suspend) | 19:42 |
| fader_ | Is there a way to disable plymouth from grub? I expected nosplash to do it, but adding --verbose it looks like it's still getting run | 19:43 |
| sbeattie | I'm not sure. | 19:45 |
| fader_ | Ah, hmm | 19:48 |
| fader_ | Seems that alt+sysrq+k kills it | 19:48 |
| fader_ | And all I had to do was fsck /dev/sda1 | 19:48 |
| fader_ | That seems... bad. | 19:48 |
| fader_ | Let's see if I can reproduce that | 19:49 |
| fader_ | Nope | 19:49 |

| yotux | I installed a test case and it failed how do I figure out which bug it would be | 21:20 |

| yotux | is anyone else here have a problem with the nouveau drivers | 22:04 |
| fader_ | yotux: Are you talking about the screen being black at boot? | 22:06 |
| yotux | yes sorry | 22:08 |
| yotux | was interested to see if it was an isolated indecent | 22:08 |
| yotux | fader_ besides that issue everything else appears to be going smooth | 22:09 |
| fader_ | yotux: I haven't seen that myself, but I know several other people have and I believe there's a bug about it | 22:09 |
| yotux | If there was I am sorry I filed bug 528056 | 22:10 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 528056 in linux-meta (Ubuntu) "nouveau driver not configured correctly (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/528056 | 22:10 |
| charlie-tca | bug 527832 for the desktop cd? | 22:11 |

| fader_ | yotux: There's also bug 523788 which may be related | 22:11 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 523788 in plymouth (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 1 other project) "Only see X mouse cursor on VT during boot (affects: 4) (dups: 1)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/523788 | 22:11 |
| fader_ | Heh, or that one charlie-tca just mentioned :D | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca | heh, I guess it is not isolated, huh? | 22:11 |
| yotux | lol guess not, I used alt cd | 22:12 |
| yotux | I was going to try the LTSP install test case can I use a laptop booting over the network for a thin client? | 22:13 |
| fader_ | yotux: I believe you should be able to use anything that supports PXE | 22:14 |
| fader_ | So if the laptop does, you're all set | 22:14 |
| yotux | Thankz | 22:15 |
| yotux | have fun guys time to install bye | 22:15 |
