slangasekis there anyone left on-line who's able to test wubi at all?01:02
colorlessprismi cannot...sorry01:02
slangasekI can't verify this claim that wubi isn't on the Xubuntu CDs, so I also can't fix it01:02

sbeattieara: do you know what's up with the iso tracker? It's not updating bug information again.07:26
arasbeattie, no idea, but I'll fire a manual update07:26
arasbeattie, thanks for the heads-up07:27
arasbeattie, updating it now. I will try to investigate why is not doing it automatically07:30
sbeattiewell, at least some bugs were missing; at least one that I know I entered hours ago.07:32
arasbeattie, can you check now that bug, please?07:35
sbeattieara: cool beans, it's updated now.07:36
arasbeattie, ok, thanks07:36

primes2hara: It'll be a nice proposal to be discussed at UDS, together with "fuzzy" matrix and the possible hwdb sinergy08:31
primes2hbut no more clue now. ;-)08:32

kermiacslangasek: I just downloaded http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20100419/lucid-desktop-i386.iso   wubi is working as expected (in win7 vm)09:03
slangasekkermiac: right, and those are the same images that were posted for xubuntu validation to begin with, so I really don't know what charlie-tca and davmor2 were talking about09:04
kermiacslangasek: I don't know either - seems to be ok for me   http://imgbin.org/images/1477.jpg09:10
slangasekkermiac: I guess you're not in a position to test that wubi works, though?10:02
slangaseki.e., do a full install test for the RC10:03
kermiacI can do in about an hour or so if that would help.... I just finished with a couple of bugs I was working on10:05
kermiacslangasek: are there testcases on the tracker? I don't usually test wubi10:06
slangasekkermiac: yep, test cases under each of the desktop ISOs10:06
slangasekif you can test, that would certainly be a help10:06
kermiacslangasek: ok, I found the wubi testcases. I'll try to do a couple as soon as I get the kids off to bed ;)10:11
slangasekcheers :)10:17
davmor2morning all10:50
davmor2did xubuntu get respun to pull in wubi or not?10:50
aradavmor2, apparently it was already there, at least that what slangasek and kermiac said10:53
davmor2ara: I wonder why it isn't on the cd then10:54
aradavmor2, no idea10:55
aradavmor2, backlog:10:55
ara<kermiac> slangasek: I just downloaded http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20100419/lucid-desktop-i386.iso   wubi is working as expected (in win7 vm)10:55
ara<slangasek> kermiac: right, and those are the same images that were posted for xubuntu validation to begin with, so I really don't know what charlie-tca and davmor2 were talking about10:55
slangasekdavmor2: it *is* on the CD10:56
slangasekand both sbeattie and kermiac have confirmed that autorun correctly brings up the menu for them10:57
davmor2slangasek: Meh and yet on the image I had yesterday it wasn't and was confirmed by charlie_tca10:58
slangasekdavmor2: what image was that?10:58
davmor2Xubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Release Candidate amd64 (20100419)10:59
davmor2is the info10:59
slangasekdavmor2: ok - how have you determined that wubi isn't on the CD?11:01
davmor2it didn't autorun on vista and there is no wubi.exe on the disk11:02
slangasekwhat are you using to check if wubi.exe is on the disk?11:02
davmor2slangasek: I'm just looking http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=147811:04
slangasekand do other 10.04 RC CDs autorun correctly on this exact Windows instance?11:04
davmor2slangasek: all the others have passed wubi11:04
davmor2only xubuntu11:04
davmor2mind you looking it's missing the autorun too11:04
slangasekthis is burned to a CD, or on a USB stick?11:05
slangasek(or a loop-mounted ISO?)11:05
davmor2slangasek: cd11:05
slangasekI only have the i386 image downloaded here, because charlie-tca said it affected both - do you have i386 handy?11:06
slangasekI'd like to have us both working from the same image to debug11:06
sbeattiedavmor2: I have both isos downloaded and I see wubi.exe and autorun.inf on both.11:07
davmor2slangasek: I'll do a fresh burn and see if it is on the new burn11:08
slangasekthat would be very strange if a burn issue would cause it to not appear11:08
davmor2slangasek: I know but at least it's one more thing got rid off11:10
sbeattiedavmor2: can you do "sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.lucid-desktop" in your xubuntu iso directory?11:10
slangasekI'm in the process of burning to disk here, to check whether nautilus shows autorun and wubi when mounting a CD vs. mounting a loopback device11:10
davmor2sbeattie: ok ok11:12
davmor2slangasek: it's on now11:14
slangasekafter reburning?11:14
davmor2yeap11:14
slangasekwacky11:15
davmor2yeap11:15
davmor2I'll ask charlie_tca to reburn and see if it fixes it for him too, in the mean time I'll get this wubi tested11:16

kermiacdoing the cd boot helper...11:40
kermiacstep 711:40
kermiacactually step 8 - I don't get a live environment - it ends up at "where are you" first step of the installation process11:41
kermiacthis is in a vm - could it be vm related?11:41
kermiacdavmor2: any idea mate? you do a lot of wubi tests, right?11:43
davmor2might be vm hang on a second11:45
* kermiac is hanging on11:45
kermiac:)11:45
davmor2kermiac: right I'll double check on my next run but I'm not having any issues here on hardware11:47
kermiacdavmor2: ok, I think it id probably a vmware issue - everything else checks out ok. thanks mate11:47

moteHI: Question. If i want to make a laptop test report. Do i have to edit the html codes on the "Testing/Laptop/Reports" page in order for anyone to use it?12:01
davmor2kermiac: do me a quick favour double check that the vm is mounting the cd still12:04
kermiacafter rebooting (step 7) it wasn't. the vm disconnected the cd drive. I manually connected it & that's when it went into the installer12:06
davmor2kermiac: and it looks like it is missing the try me screen on the installer12:07
davmor2if you hit quit though it will go to desktop12:07
kermiacdavmor2: yup. quitting spits me back to the desktop12:08
kermiacdavmor2: yup. quitting spits me back to the desktop12:08
kermiacoops - lag12:08
davmor2:)12:08
kermiacdavmor2: are you seeing similar things or is it just a vm issue? I don't have windows installed on hardware at home to verify12:09
davmor2here I get the xubuntu grub entry then it boots from cd correctly and then goes straight into the installer rather than the option screen yes12:10
kermiacok, that's what is happening for me after I manually connect the cd drive to the vm12:11
davmor2I'm just quizzing one of the devs about it12:12
kermiacI'm also having (probably vm issues) with the Wubi Stand Alone Desktop Install (Windows Side)12:12
kermiacIt all goes fine & d/l the iso... then right at the end it say it can't find the log - i think it said the installer log12:13
davmor2I'll have a look after main concern right now is the cds so I'll test that first12:14
kermiacyup, ok :) Should i update the tracker yet with any info or hold off for a bit?12:15
moteHI: Question. If i want to make a laptop test report. Do i have to edit the html codes on the "Testing/Laptop/Reports" page in order for anyone to use it?12:17
kermiacmote: I don't believe so. I just created a new wiki page & then copied the template when I created https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports/HPPavilionDM3-1011TU12:19
kermiacI didn't edit any html12:20
moteKermiac: the i just cant seem to understand what to do.12:20
araif I find several inconsistencies in edubuntu's slideshow, which package should I file the bug against?12:22
araany idea?12:22
moteKermaic: this passage here "Hit the upper left edit link and create a new entry adding your WikiName with the @SIG@ macro, edition you are testing and link to the new laptop report." what does it mean then?12:22
kermiacara: ubiquity?12:23
persiaI don't see a handy ubiquity-slideshow-edubuntu package :(  Maybe ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu (if there aren't customisations)?12:23
araI'll ask in ubuntu-installer12:23
kermiacmote: yes, that confused me a bit too12:23
kermiacmote: what model laptop do you want to setup a page for?12:23
moteAsus eee 1005p12:24
motekermiac: Asus eee 1005p - sorry12:24
kermiacmote: for which release karmic, lucid, etc?12:24
moteKermaic lucid beta 2. but maybe i should wait for RC ?12:25
kermiacmote, no it's fine - the template that I used has room for the alphas, betas, RC & stable12:26
moteok12:26
motekermiac: How did you do it?12:27
slangasekpersia, ara: the edubuntu slideshow is in the edubuntu-artwork package12:27
araslangasek, thanks12:28
kermiacmote: just goto https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports/AsusEee1005P in your browser - this should create the new page for you12:28
motekermiac: So is just type in the url and i get the template page?12:29
araslangasek, by the way, the test that I marked as Started in netboot is not valid anymore (I was having bandwidth issues and I had to stop it)12:29
slangasekok12:30
kermiacmote: pm so I stop cluttering the channel?12:30
stgrabermorning everyone13:19
stgraberstarting to test Edubuntu amd64 here13:19
kermiacdavmor2: I'm updating the xubuntu wubi testing info before I head off to bed, should I select passed or failed? I will add notes explaining why13:24
kermiacbut I'm unsure which to select as I was testing in vm & had issues with 2 out of 4 tests13:26
aramorning stgraber13:29
kermiachey ara, have you read the backlog where davmor2 & I were discussing wubi? should i select passed or failed? I want to update before going to bed13:30
arakermiac, have you filed a bug?13:37
davmor2kermiac: it might not be a bug currently talking with ev about it13:37
kermiacara: no, davmor2 was getting in touch with one of the devs. ok, so that means i will have to mark as passed & just add the notes13:38
arakermiac, ok, thanks13:38
kermiacok, ty ara & davmor2 :)13:38

arakermiac, good night13:46
mgjSo i want to get in on the 10.04 action. I was told that a lot had been changed since the beta2 iso, and that i should use the daily iso instead. However, i also heard rumours about "stuff" being broken in the daily iso. Anyone care to comment on that?14:02
aramgj, we are testing now candidate images for RC14:22
aramgj, they seem pretty stable14:22
aramgj, you can find information at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com14:22
* ara -> lunch14:23
mgjara: thanks14:29
davmor2kermiac, ara: just to keep you in the loop I'm testing a new wubi version for xubuntu apparently it's recieving the wrong call type and starting in automatic mode and shouldn't be.15:28
aradavmor2, ok, thanks for the heads-up15:29
arakermiac, does it affect other flavours?15:29
aradavmor2, ^15:30
davmor2ara: it won't effect ubuntu because of the welcome screen but might effect kubuntu15:30
davmor2haven't looked yet15:30
aradavmor2, ok15:30
aradavmor2, are we respining desktops in that case?15:30
slangasekno15:31
davmor2it might just be a fix for final but needs to be fixed for then15:31
davmor2and slangasek says no15:31
charlie-tcahmmm, need some one to verify here. After testing 64bit images, my swap partitions were marked as 'unknown' for file type. Can somebody with 64bit hardware verify?17:06
fader_charlie-tca: Is this on vanilla Ubuntu?17:06
charlie-tcait was xubuntu17:06
charlie-tcano changes after install17:07
charlie-tcaI used gparted to check them when they did not show in /etc/fstab17:07

fader_charlie-tca: Cool, I will try manual as well then17:11
charlie-tcaThank you17:11
fader_No problem :)17:11
fader_charlie-tca: It looks good to me -- firing up 'free' after boot shows that my swap partition is mounted and being used17:18
charlie-tcaThanks. Must be something stupid I did then17:18
fader_And the partitions show up as 'swap' in fdisk17:18
fader_Heh17:18
fader_Cosmic rays :)17:18
charlie-tcaTesting with the system in use?17:19
* ara takes a break until next meeting17:20
fader_charlie-tca: Not sure what you mean...17:21
charlie-tcaI had two drives, one I use everyday, the other I did the test installs on. Maybe that is not such a great idea17:21
fader_Ahhh... heh17:22
fader_Yeah, that sounds like a quick trip to the land of "wait, I formatted *what*?!"17:22
charlie-tcasince all the swap partitions disappeared on me17:22
charlie-tca;-)17:22
charlie-tcadone that too17:22

mdlueckTap tap... hello, I discovered that mkfs.xfs is missing in today's ISO, suspect it has been missing for a week or so since I have no been able to use XFS in my Lucid testing. Anyone aware of this?19:22
mdlueckI logged it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/56802419:37
ubot4Launchpad bug 568024 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "xfsprogs missing from install / live CD, can not use XFS during installation (affects: 1)" [Undecided,New]19:37
sbeattiemdlueck: is that only on the live cd or alternate as well?19:57
sbeattie(and bugger, I thought we'd sorted those out before)19:57
mdluecksbeattie: I have not pulled an alt nor server CD image19:58
mdluecksbeattie: Ja, important for ALL flavours19:58
sbeattiemdlueck: do you use xfs regularly?19:59
sbeattiemdlueck: the reason I ask is I was wondering if you've seen any performance issues with it.20:00
mdluecksbeattie: Yes indeed!!! ext something for /boot, all others xfs20:00
mdlueckgrub used to have problems booting from xfs, thus the reason for a separate /boot partition formatted ext something... someday I will retest that grub issue... someday...20:01
mdluecklilo boots from xfs just fine20:01
sbeattiewe've found, informally, zsync'ing isos onto an xfs partition, the initial check of an existing iso took an order of magnitude longer on xfs than ext[34], and I was wondering if you saw similar issues on reads of large files like that.20:02
mdlueckxfs is good for very large files, dirs with many files in them, has built-in ACL support, comes with storage management utilities... can't go wrong20:02
sbeattiehrm, I wonder if zsync is just choosing an unfortunate blocksize or something.20:03
mdlueckzsync is a new toy to me, just discovered it during Lucid testing. Slicker than pulling down entire ISO images, so I am quite pleased compared to the prior method20:03
mdlueckthe default block size or something could be a bit larger, but I am too lazy to go through the hassle of manually formatting to get the better size param20:05
mdlueckI recall an old KLUG presentation on XFS that showed a WOW performance improvement by tweaking one param during formatting.20:05
mdlueckAlways wanted to come up with a way to have that number be the standard... not up to forking the Ubuntu project, though! ;-)20:06
