stgraberelmo: I don't seem to be able to connect to limequat (getting connection time out from both Canada and Germany). Could you make sure that I have access to whatever the host of the ISO tracker is ? (IIRC during the release madness it had to be moved and I lost access which should have either been restored on limequat or the website moved to quandong where I already have ssh access)00:19
stgrabermarjo: ^ FYI00:19
pittiGood morning05:23
pittiah, so my trigger worked and all live CDs built05:33
pittiargh, ubuntu/amd64 still has the old kernel05:53
pittiI fixed the netbook oversizedness, will respin as well05:57
ScottKpitti: It's very late here and I need to go pass out, but it looks like in the kubuntu-common seed kdebase-plasma recommends needs to be replaced with plasma-widget-folderview.  That should fix the latest Kubuntu Netbook ISO failure (and I suspect Kubuntu Desktop as well).06:11
pittiScottK: ah, I was just going to look at why kubuntu failed to build06:11
ScottKIf not, Riddell ^^^ could you have a look if pitti can't get to it?06:11
ScottKGreat.06:11
pittiScottK: oh, sure I can06:11
pittiyes, that was the one we tried to get rid of yesterday06:11
ScottKWe need to totally drop that transitional package, but it can wait until after the milestone if we just get it unseeded.06:12
pittiI'll change the seeds/rebuild/etc.06:12
pittiScottK: hm, I don't see kdebase-plasma any more in the seeds, anywhere06:13
* ScottK looks again06:13
pittibut the -meta package still pulls it in06:14
pittimight just need a rebuild?06:14
ScottKpitti: Do the seeds lag on people.canonical.com?06:14
* pitti just looking at bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/kubuntu.maverick/06:14
pittiScottK: anyway, I'll track it down06:14
ScottKOK.  On p.c.c it still shows in kubuntu-common.06:14
ScottKGood night.06:15
pittiah, no, meta is ok; I was looking at lucid's06:16
pittiok, now I need to wait for the next publisher run to get the new amd64 kernel; back in an hour06:52
pitticjwatson: kdebase-plasma still has "Task: kubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-netbook", but it doesn't appear at all in lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/kubuntu.maverick, nor does it have any rdepends; any idea?06:54
aramorning all!07:28
arapitti, morning07:30
arapitti, how is alpha 1 going? I guess we are respining, aren't we?07:31
pittihey ara07:31
pittiara: still waiting for the amd64 kernel to publish, then I can build desktop CDs07:32
pittimy amd64 desktop test install (with unionfs-fuse) is almost done; I wanted to do a smoketest before07:33
arapitti, what about the alternates? I've seen in the tracker that they are yesterday's builds07:33
pittiara: not sure about them; they seem to work quite well07:33
arapitti, OK, nice :)07:34
pittiara: we can respin to grab the newer d-i to fix the rescue mode thing07:34
pittibut otherwise I don't see major fixes for them, do you?07:34
arapitti, no, I don't. I think we can release note the rescue mode bug07:35
pittithat's what I thought07:35
pittiwe should concentrate our efforts on testing the desktops, I think07:35
araI agree07:37
apwpitti, did the kernels make it through onto cd images ok ?07:51
pittiapw: i386 did, amd64 is just being published; apparently building it took a while07:51
pittior the buildds were clogged07:51
apwhrm ... about 10 last night it was looking to be starting in 54 mins07:51
apw(my time)07:52
pittii386 works and boots, and I verified that amd64 also works with unionfs-fuse07:52
pittiapw: thanks so much for the quick fix!07:52
pittiah, and my amd64 test install with unionfs-fuse just succeeded \o/07:53
apwpitti, was more luck than judgement, it was my first stab07:53
apwpitti, the testing i did with my built kernel was aufs on am64, so that is likely to work if i386 does07:54
apwbut having both available rocks07:54
pittiright07:54
pittiamd64 should hit the mirrors any minute now07:54
apwpitti, got a checksum for it so i can tell when i've got the right one07:55
apwpitti, ahh the build took 7 hours, starting around midnight my time, would put it about when you said ... just slow builds07:58
pittithere it is07:59
* pitti starts ubuntu xubuntu ubuntu-netbook desktop builds07:59
* apw resync's his CDs08:17
pittittx: hm, seems that someone added the EC2 bits to the iso tracker; was that on purpose?08:21
pittihttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20100602.2/08:21
pittiara, apw ^ there, go wild :)08:22
* pitti adds to tracker08:22
ttxpitti: smoser must have pushed them since they were missing08:22
ttxpitti: any reason why he shouldn't have ?08:22
arapitti, thanks! I wiill sync now08:22
pittittx: no, I was just wondering; I didn't build anything for EC2 (nor do I know how :) )08:22
ttxara: any idea why we don't receive email notifications anymore ?08:22
ttxpitti: we have daily builds for EC2/UEC images, and smoser/ara can promote one build as the milestone candidate08:23
apwpitti, ara, can i rsync these images ?08:23
pittittx: nice, thanks08:23
pittiapw: sure08:23
ttxpitti: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/maverick/08:24
ttxpitti,ara: we should also have a amd64/i386 UEC image candidate08:25
ttxcurrently only the EC2 stuff shows up08:25
ttxdoes any of you have the keys to promote http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/maverick/20100601/ as the UEC images ?08:25
pittittx: if you are addressing me, I'm afraid I need some further docs; I never did that08:29
pittiapw: maverick-desktop-amd64.iso boots fine here \o/08:30
* pitti hugs rsync and his phat pipe this week08:31
* apw cheers!08:31
pittiDSL 16K is something I could get used to..08:31
ttxI wonder if ara can do it08:31
ttxIt's just a question of having "Ubuntu Server UEC amd64 (20100601)" in the ISO tracker08:32
arattx, I can08:32
ttx(and i386)08:32
* ttx hugs ara08:32
arattx, done08:33
* ara hugs ttx back08:33
pittimeh, xubuntu still oversized; why do my seed changes have no effect?08:35
apwpitti, yay, amd64 boots and even claims to be using aufs :)08:42
pitticjwatson: ok, seems the kdebase-plasma and the eternal xubuntu oversizedness (as well as netbook) are related: it seems that Tasks: headers just don't get updated, and there were plenty of publisher cycles with new maverick packages in between08:44
apwara, who owns the iso-tracker test definitions ?09:10
apwara, for example the live testing does not know about the 'burning man' and so there are now two paths that need testing there09:11
araapw, it is a wiki, anyone can edit09:12
araapw, http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/09:12
apwara, is there a scheme for the Case ID: numbering ?09:13
araapw, just 3 letters + 3 numbers09:14
araapw, for installations, normally, the 3 letters are ins09:14
araapw, is it a new test case? or changing an existing one?09:14
apwok, so i can just use a free -nnn number, i assume existing ones should be left alone09:14
apwas there is 'ignore the burning man' and 'hit a key during the burning man' i guess i need to add a new one09:15
apwand fix the old one to mention the burning man09:15
apwara, any idea if it matters if the numbers are sequential, as it feels wrong to change the numbers of the existing ones, but the logical place for the new one is second09:16
araapw, they are sequential, place it in second place in the wiki, but call it ins-next_available09:16
apwara, perfect, that is the logical way to do it :)  phew09:17
araapw, :)09:17
apwpitti, i note that at least the non-plymouth splash is still saying 10.0409:20
araRiddell, around?09:26
slangasekthere's a non-plymouth splash?09:32
pittiwell, plymouth text plugin, I suppose09:32
slangasekah yes, I suppose that 10.04 is hard-coded in the source09:32
cjwatsonpitti: oddly, kdebase-plasma is showing up as directly seeded in kubuntu-common, but clearly isn't there09:34
cjwatsonthe germinate output is up to date09:34
pitticjwatson: is it possible that germinate crashes in the publisher on in the cronjob?09:34
pitticjwatson, slangasek: good morning09:35
cjwatsonpitti: it doesn't seem to be crashing, based on the logs09:35
slangasekpitti: morning-ish :)09:35
cjwatsonthat wa one thing I checked for09:35
cjwatson*was09:35
cjwatsonno, the problem is that the seed update job has got stuck09:36
cjwatsonit runs as ubuntu-archive@people, and occasionally it gets stuck on a bzr lock or something for some reason09:38
cjwatsonI've fixed that now09:38
cjwatsonit'll need another publisher run and then some package or other flushed through a second publisher run09:38
cjwatsonthat indeed accounts for your Xubuntu trouble as well09:39
cjwatsonactually, why don't I just run cron.germinate by hand to speed things up09:39
pitticjwatson: so I'll find a package to publish to maverick main in the meantime?09:39
cjwatsondoesn't need to be main09:40
cjwatsonjust maverick somewhere09:40
pittihah, I've got the perfect one09:40
* pitti uploads postgresql-common09:40
pitticjwatson: next publisher in 20 mins will be ok? or the one after that?09:41
pittiready to upload09:43
cjwatsonwill tell you in a minute09:43
pittiif that fails, I also have an apport upload (also fast to build)09:43
pittifails> if we need another publisher, I mean09:44
cjwatsonpitti: go ahead and upload09:48
pittidone09:48
pitticjwatson: ok, it's built and accepted09:57
pittithanks for sorting this out09:57
pitticjwatson: for checking in the future, is that bin/update-germinate on lillypilly?09:58
Riddellara: yes10:01
araRiddell, I was installing KVM OEM (alt) and on reboot it freezes the screen: just a white screen with the pointer and the notifications10:01
RiddellOEM?  have you tested a normal install?10:02
araRiddell, no, just OEM10:06
Riddellit's alpha 1, I care very little about OEM compared to it installing and booting at all10:09
araRiddell, I'll try again with normal installation and will get back to you10:13
pittiseb128: do you see anything worth mentioning in the tech overview wrt. GNOME? new GNOME components, new evolution, etc?10:15
pittiRiddell: likewise, any new KDE version to point out, etc?10:15
seb128pitti, I guess you can mention new GNOME platform stack10:17
Riddellyes, 4.5 beta10:17
seb128ie updated glib with gsettings, gtk, dconf ready10:18
seb128(it's in universe now)10:18
seb128new evo stack10:18
* pitti removes the only "known issues" entry again (broken aufs)10:19
araa tester is reporting that when unlocking encrypted server installations, each time he presses a key, the "Unlocking message" gets repeated10:23

pitti(desktops, not alternates)11:02
pittiubuntu desktop seems okay already11:02
arapitti, ah, ok, thanks11:03
pittiara: kubuntu didn't build at all so far, and netbook/xubuntu are still oversized due to outdated tasks11:03
arapitti, the "headlines" of conversations at #u-release are worth posting at #u-testing, so people testing can be aware of what's going on11:05
pittisure, /me joins11:06
pittiara: I gave a quick overview, and will post new images there as they appear11:08
arapitti, thanks :-)11:08
cjwatsonpitti: cool11:09
cjwatsonara: I didn't say plymouth was definitely wrong11:09
cjwatsonara: if somebody knowledgeable assigned it to plymouth, then that's probably a better target for it11:10

pittihttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/daily-live/20100602.3/ up for testing11:22
pittiara: is there a bug for Kubuntu OEM?11:27
pittiI have a luxury problem: I don't yet have anything to add to "known problems" section :)11:27
arapitti, no, I was waiting to see if it reproduces on normal installations11:28
arapitti, I will get back to you and Ridell when done11:28

pittieww, current netbook in KVM boots into GNOME desktop11:29

pitticould just be kvm, I'll investigate and check with Didier11:30
arapitti, btw, in known issues you can add the "rescue mode" bug ;-)11:32

ScottKWe went with the idea people would install from USB, so who cares about 700MB limit.11:41
* Riddell grabs kubuntu-netbook11:42
ScottKpitti: If it wouldn't interfere with anything else, could you spin up a powerpc image for Kubuntu desktop?  I think I have both all the needed packages built and someone to test.11:43

apwhave we really planned a LP maintenance window in the two days before a milestone again?  surley this can be avoided12:44

araRiddell, gggr, it does not allow me. Normally I would do Ctrl+alt+2 and then sendkey, but it is not working now13:33
ara(kvm, I mean)13:33
pittioh, LP seems to be back?13:33
araRiddell, I will restart that virtual machine with virt-manager13:33
Riddellara: well I'd guess it's an issue either with plasma or kwin and both are in kdebase-workspace so that would be as good a place as any to report13:33
araRiddell, OK, thanks13:34
ScottKpitti: Can we SRU a metapackage change?  This kdebase-plasma mess has caused me to notice we still have it seeded in lucid also.  I think it should be dropped in the seeds and the package that replaces it, plasma-widget-folderview, seeded directly.  I think it'd be good to have for 10.04.1.13:47
ScottKcjwatson: ping a little earlier in the day this time.  Still not urgent, but when you have 5 minutes.13:48
pittiScottK: it would be a no-op for upgrades, right? sounds fine to me13:48
ScottKpitti: At most it would be the transitional package is available for autoremoval.13:48
pittiwhich sounds just fine13:49
* ScottK marks it on his TODO.13:49
cjwatsonScottK: go ahead13:57
ScottKcjwatson: I wanted to ask about getting special permission to respin Kubuntu Netbook for 10.04.1.13:58
cjwatsonI have no problem with respins for point releases as long as there are testing resources available13:58
ScottKGreat.13:58
cjwatsonfrom the RM side they're quite straightforward and if it goes wrong we can always not release the builds13:59
ScottKI know we can do almost all of it out of community resources.  The one place I may need help is with wubi testing.13:59
ScottKBecause Kubuntu netbook is so close to Kubuntu desktop in package selection we'd otherwise end up in the position that the lowest bandwidth requirement install method for Netbook would be to install destkop and then convert it.14:01
ScottKThanks.14:01
cjwatsonnice to have easy questions. :-)14:07
ScottKI didn't think it would be hard, just wanted to make sure to have the conversation early enough not to cause a rush.14:08
