ScottKFYI cjwatson, slangasek, etc: I've reviewed ubuntu-sugar-remix-meta and it's fine to go in.  I'm leaving it in queue in case you need a build to stimulate a publisher run.00:48
ScottKlfaraone: ^^^ - Don't panic.  We'll get it in before release.00:49
lfaraoneScottK: no worries.00:49

micahgScottK: if there is a sync that looks like it should go in, is it still worth trying (potential data loss)01:10
micahgor better to SRU01:10
ScottKmicahg: Seeded or unseeded?02:05
ScottKmicahg: What package?02:05
micahgScottK: zoneminder, unseeded, RC bug02:05
micahgactually, needs a merge02:05
micahgdebian 49710702:06
ubot4Debian bug 497107 in zoneminder "uninstallation deletes MySQL database with no warning" [Serious,Fixed] http://bugs.debian.org/49710702:06
ScottKSounds reasonable to try and fix.02:06
micahgScottK: should I try to get a merge done then?02:07
ScottKmicahg: Yes.02:07
micahgScottK: thanks02:08
wgrantWhen is the release pocket expected to permafreeze?03:08
ScottKwgrant: Depends on what you mean by that.03:25
ScottKI think ~noon UTC Thursday was what we said though.03:26
ScottKbarring last minute respins ...03:26
wgrantWe need to do some stuff at the Soyuz end to completely rid the indices of sparc and ia64.03:27
ScottKActually I think a day after that.03:27
ScottKWe said noon UTC on 10/9 in the mail to u-d-a, but I think that was a mistake.03:27
micahgNoon UTC Sat was in the original mail03:28
wgrantAlthough given what happened last time, I guess we can't really make any assumptions that there won't be 11th hour respins.03:28
ScottKYeah.  I think that's wrong though.03:28
ScottKYep.03:28
ScottKcjwatson: The "Final Freeze timeline for unseeded packages in Universe/Multiverse" said Noon UTC on 10/9, but I think we really wanted 10/8 for hard freeze in Universe.03:29
ScottKUnfortunately I'll be away again tomorrow, so I'd appreciate it if someone else in the release team would look at that and re-announce as needed.03:29
ScottKNoon UTC would be 36 hours to the end of 10/10 and IIRC we were aiming for 36 hours to the start of 10/10.03:30
slangaseksmoser: ec2 candidates posted to the tracker03:37
slangasekNCommander: Portland, or Portland, ME? :)03:38
ScottKmicahg: Is it on purpose we don't ship the unversioned .so in  libfxscintilla-dev?03:49
micahgScottK: idk, I just tried to follow what was done before in teh package, did I miss something?03:49
ScottKOK.  Let me look at the old one.03:50
micahgScottK: you'll have to go back to karmic03:50
ScottKNice.  That's an empty package.03:51
ScottKSo this one is at worst less useless.03:52
micahgScottK: zoneminder works locally, but fails in pbuilder, should I try pushing to PPA to see if it works?03:55
ScottKWhat's the error?03:55
micahgoh, right :)03:55
micahgScottK: idk, I can't see what the error is, I get a line of undefined references03:56
ScottKWhat's the first one?03:56
micahgzm_comms.cpp:(.text+0x1d89): undefined reference to `std::set<CommsBase*, std::less<CommsBase*>, std::allocator<CommsBase*> >::set()'03:56

skaetslangasek, RAOF, thanks for the head's up.06:18
RAOFskaet: I've updated the bug with my findings so far; shall I leave that up to you, and go and try to break further iso images? :)06:19

pittimvo: rejecting jockey as well; in the bug you also said "proposed", I think it's too late (would require respinning everything)11:07
pittiara: right, our current XFCE still tries to talk to hal until it falls back to other shutdown methods11:07
mvopitti: sure, that is fine11:07
pittiara: it's just cosmetical (hal isn't supposed to be there)11:07
pittia bit of a wart, though11:07
pittiara: I think that's fixed in the xubuntu-dev PPA (i. e. newer upstream version); I came across it during an oem project11:08

cjwatsonfader: I'm very confused about doubah.  it appears to be running Xen, which should mean that nothing should go anywhere near grub2.  are you actually doing the cert installs within Xen, or is that a red herring?13:18
fadercjwatson: No, it does shared duty as a PPA build system, so when we're not testing it it gets wiped and reinstalled13:18
faderI'm not aware of what's used after that but Xen would be a likely candidate13:19
fadercjwatson: For reference, we do a PXE boot and then a straight install off of the daily server image.  I can send you the preseed we use if that's of use as well.13:20
cjwatsonfader: aha.  so can I consider the Xen installation that's currently there to be wipable?13:36
cjwatsonfader: and am I likely to be able to do a USB install and achieve similar results?13:36
fadercjwatson: Absolutely... feel free to blow it away.13:37
cjwatsonok13:37
fadercjwatson: I certainly hope the USB install shows the same results, otherwise this bug is even weirder :/13:37
evara: that's by design13:38
evthus why the button is labelled 'Install Now' - it will immediately write to your disk13:38
* cjwatson wheels this maverick-desktop-i386.iso USB stick over there then13:38
evAnd if we are forced in a later release to be more explicit, lets do it in the button label, not in a warning dialog.13:40
evit warning you when resizing is actually a bug.  I forgot to suppress that message.13:40

Riddellwhile I support not having an extra dialogue I do wonder how many people won't read the button text and won't expect the formatting to start at that stage13:56
araRiddell, I agree, I think the next, next, next, next, makes you think that the labeling of that one is "Next" without reading13:57
cjwatsonfader: hmm.  so I did a desktop install on doubah (as that was quickest), and it booted fine13:57
fadercjwatson: I have only reproduced the issue with server installs13:58
cjwatsonoh, you tried a desktop install?13:58
faderI will give a desktop install a shot on one of the other affected systems and see what's up13:58
fadercjwatson: Not yet :)13:58
cjwatsonI can try a server install ... don't see why that would differ particularly though13:58
faderSorry, ambiguous phrasing13:59
faderIt's possible that it's environmental somehow, but I don't know why it would be consistently reproduceable with maverick only on these systems but never hitting others.  Curiouser and curiouser.13:59

pitticharlie-tca: I already fixed the seeds, so the next respin (when ubiquity is finished) should be okay14:15
charlie-tcaSo we will need a respin for testing14:16
lfaraoneThere's a package in Universe that is new in Maverick, that is currently broken to an external API change. The version in Ubuntu is a git snapshot pre-release version. I've tested the new version for a few days and have found no problems with it.14:21
cjwatsonfader: just to double-confirm, your preseed in fact says regular, not lvm14:21
lfaraoneI'm the maintainer of it in Debian. Could it be possible to get the new version in Ubuntu, since there's zero regression potential, and it doesn't work at all at current.14:22
cjwatsonfader: you have 'd-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true' and such, but the operative bit is 'd-i partman-auto/method string regular' - is that definitely right?14:22
fadercjwatson: Hmm, sorry -- the preseed is right; I thought that the 'auto' bit implied default.  The preseed should be believed over me wherever we differ14:23
faderAs that's what is actually being run14:23
cjwatsonfader: hm, and you're using GRUB_TERMINAL=serial - is there definitely something listening to serial?14:24
cjwatson(that would be an obvious difference between this and a non-preseeded lucid install!)14:24
fadercjwatson: Definitely; there's a serial console connected to the system14:24
cjwatsonok - well, I can try it without that and see what happens, and then bring my laptop over and serial it up14:25
faderThough that's the case on all of the server systems, and only some of them exhibit this behavior14:25
cjwatsonjust seemed like an obvious source of skew14:25
faderMy i386 desktop install is complete and appears to have the same symptoms as the amd64 server installs14:28
cjwatsonsimilar preseeding?14:29
cjwatsonis it possible that some of the serial consoles are set to different speeds?14:29
faderSimilar preseeding, yes; I can pastebin the preseed for that if it's of use to you14:30
cjwatsonsure, might be14:30
faderAll the serial consoles should be set to the same speed... all the preseeds are generated from a single template and the systems are all connected to a serial console multiplexer of some description14:30
cjwatsonI'm not sure what grub's defaults for serial config are14:32
faderArgh, sorry -- I goofed the desktop install and ended up with a server install after all; redoing this14:33

victorpfader - just talking to marjo and colin about the server bug15:14
victorpfader - can I ask some questions?15:14
victorpfader - the servers that are failing , are they related? i.e. same rack, make, ... something?15:15
* cjwatson is also asking fader some of these questions in /msg :-)15:15
fader:)15:15
cjwatsonconfirmed that a 10.04 cert-preseeded install succeeds15:15
fadervictorp: They seem to be HP systems15:15
faderBut not every HP system is affected15:15
victorpfader - are they passing for 10.4 on exactly the same test set-up15:16
fadervictorp: Yes, they work just fine in 10.0415:16
* victorp is having it in the open :)15:17
victorpfader: ok...15:17
victorpcjwatson - seems like a real issue then and not a lab issue15:17
cjwatsonit does, but if only it were reproducible here ...15:18
cjwatsonI realise the differentials point to a 10.10 bug15:18
victorpcjwatson - we will need to send you there then :)15:19
cjwatsonnot necessarily ... let's see15:19
victorpfader - is there another way to try to install 10.10 on the failing servers on the lab that is more manual15:19
cjwatsonyes, fader and I are working on that15:19
victorpok - let me know how it goes15:20
cjwatson(I'm sshed into the serial multiplexor)15:24
cjwatsonsmoser: do you have any examples of this grub problem affecting UEC?15:26
cjwatsonsmoser: if not, then currently, I don't think you should wait for it15:27
smoseri've never seen it affect uec. and hggdh has run probably on the order of thousands of instances.  as far as I know, we've never seen a grub related failure.15:27
smoser(and ec2 doesn't load with grub-pc, it loads with pv-grub provided by amazon)15:28
smoserso, i'll start the build15:28
skaetsmoser,  you'll need to rebuild though it appears to pick up the lsb-release change, we think?15:28
smoseryes. i definitely do not have the lsb-release change.15:28
hggdhdifficult to say -- if we have a grub failure in the tests, I can only find it if something is written to the console (we dump the console log on failed tests)15:29
skaetheh.   I type too slow. ;)15:29
ttxI'd respin the cloud images only if we respin the server ISOs, for consistency15:29
hggdhI never saw any grub failures there, though15:29
marjohggdh: good to know15:29
ttxskaet: how sure are we that we'll respin the server ISOs ?15:29
skaetwe're respinning the server ISOs as soon as ubiquity drops.15:29
ttxsmoser: ok, then you can15:29
skaetor at least that's the belief.15:30
Riddellwhat does ubiquity have to do with the server CDs?15:31
marjovictorp, fader, cjwatson: different vendors, different racks and different serial console servers15:31
marjoskaet: ^^^ re: failing servers15:31
skaetRiddell, cjwatson's double checking, but the working hypothesis right now is we need it.15:32
smoseralright . maverick server build started. it will appear as http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/server/maverick/20101007.1 probably about 18:30 UTC15:32
smoserIf we need to get hggdh or someone early access to that, the .tar.gz files are available probably inside a half hour.15:33
skaetRiddell,  we need to get the servers rebuilt to pick up some other changes at this point.   (lsb_release)15:33
cjwatsonRiddell: oem-config15:34
cjwatsonit has a debconf frontend15:35
cjwatsonfader: I'm not sure I'm getting the mirror config right here - getting the same "failed to download a file from the mirror" message.  how did you do this by hand?15:40
fadercjwatson: Should be the mirror and path info that you have.  10.189.90.1 and the path /enablement/cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/maverick-server-amd6415:42
JamesPageskaet: I picked up bug 656173 this morning; its a change in functionality between lucid->maverick (by design) but may catch some libvirt users out; does it need to be added to release notes for maverick?15:42

jdstrandskaet: it is an uncommon configuration I think15:45
fadercjwatson: Wait, I see the issue... can I reboot that system on you?15:45
jdstrandskaet: chained backing stores are not by any means the default15:45
skaetjdstrand,  JamesPage,  will go discuss with robbiew, and get his experience on this then.  ;)15:46
cjwatsonfader: sure, what was the problem?15:47
cjwatsonI had resorted to set -x'ing my way through net-retriever ...15:47
jdstrandskaet: fyi-- soon there will be a USN to discuss all of it as well, for a lucid security update15:47
fadercjwatson: I munged the TFTP setup when manually editing it to remove the preseed, so you were in a weird inconsistent state -- booting from the 10.04 image and then trying to install 10.10 :[15:47
cjwatsonaha!15:47
cjwatsonthat would have done it15:48
robbiewjdstrand: skaet: documenting is fine...it's not much of an added effort ;)15:48
jdstrandno it isn't, and I'm not opposed to it. I just wanted to put it in perspective15:49
ttxrobbiew: cheap way to show that we care about a consistent user experience15:49
jdstrandeuca uses raw (and no backing stores), virtinst/virt-manager use storage pools, and you should specify the disk format appropriately15:50
jdstrands/and you/and they/15:50
cjwatsonfader: so assuming that I can reproduce it, will I be able to do things like install a parallel 10.04 install, chroot into 10.10, fiddle with its grub, experimentally reboot to that, then switch back to 10.04 if it fails, rinse and repeat?15:50
fadercjwatson: Yes, you should be able to.  I can set up the install for 10.04 if/when you need it15:51
cjwatsonif I can do that, I may have some hope15:51
cjwatsonok15:51
cjwatsonfader: does it matter which disk I use?  is sda OK?15:55
fadercjwatson: sda is what I've been using15:56
faderI did try sdb on another system with multiple disks but it didn't have any noticeable effect15:56
cjwatson"Logical volume(s) to be removed: thorium-disk, thorium-diskcow, thorium-swap, thorium-swapcow"; "Volume group(s) to be removed: PPA"; "Physical volume(s) to be removed: /dev/sda6"15:56
cjwatsonis that ok?15:57
faderMakes sense as it had been doing PPA duty15:57
faderYes, our SOP is to blow everything away15:57
faderThey are totally wiped when set up for testing and then again when put into the PPA pool15:57
cjwatsonright15:57
cjwatsonfader: ok, can I have a reboot to the 10.04 install?16:19
cjwatson(manual for preference?16:19
fadercjwatson: Sure, one moment16:22
fadercjwatson: mirror is /enablement/releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd6416:24
faderYou should be rebooting16:25
cjwatsonyep16:25
cjwatsonhow can I deal with the reboots back and forward after this is done?  it would be ideal not to have to bother you every time16:25
cjwatsonpresumably I'd need to use some kind of rescue system to reinstall the 10.04 grub16:26
fadercjwatson: I will whip up a quick script for you if you can give me ~10m (I'm in a meeting atm)16:27
cjwatsonit'll take that long to do the 10.04 install16:27
faderYep :)16:27
slangasekskaet: so bug #649917 would be easy enough to address in SRU to make the warning message go away, but this wouldn't actually make the system behave any more smoothly; anyone seeing the message is experiencing some other bug with plymouth, because if plymouth is working right you're never supposed to be in text mode to /see/ this message16:31
ubot4Launchpad bug 649917 in plymouth (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 2 other projects) "GLIb-WARNING **: getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64991716:31
slangasekskaet: it may be worth fixing the bug about the spurious warning message just to eliminate the bug report noise about it, but I'm not sure it actually gets us closer to how we want plymouth to work - what do you think?16:33
cjwatsonfader: so where does pxelinux come from in this setup?16:34
cjwatsonfor example how is the version determined?16:35
* ara needs to step out for some errands. She will be back in about 1 hour16:35
fadercjwatson: It's generated by a set of scripts that cr3 wrote, based on a templating system... he has templates for e.g. "maverick server" or "lucid alternate desktop" and drops in the necessary bits like IP addresses16:35
cjwatsonfader: I guess what I mean is, under what circumstances will we use lucid's pxelinux vs. maverick's pxelinux?16:36
fadercjwatson: Under normal conditions it's based on which image was updated... if a new maverick ISO shows up on cdimage, it sets up and uses the maverick pxelinux.  In this case, I'm invoking that by hand, so it's using lucid's pxelinux when doing a lucid install and maverick for a maverick install16:38
cjwatsonso after you did the side-by-side install of lucid, it would have switched to using a lucid pxelinux?16:39
faderYes, definitely16:39
faderFor the install -- it boots from the local disk after install and does not PXE16:39

cjwatsonsince ubiquity's in place16:42
robbiew\o/16:42
cjwatsonfader: observationally, it goes through pxelinux before booting from the local disk16:43
cjwatsonaccording to the messages on the serial console16:43
fadercjwatson: Hmm, it should attempt to PXE but fail and boot from the disk, if that's what you mean16:43
cjwatsonin my book that's going through pxelinux :-)16:44
cjwatsonpxelinux has an opportunity to change state ...16:44
cjwatsonit definitely hits pxelinux, not just the pxe bios16:44
faderI had thought that was in firmware on the system though rather than being affected by whatever was installed on the disk16:44
faderAh16:44
cjwatsonat least I think that's what it said, I no longer have the scrollback16:44
faderAh, I see what you mean16:45
faderSo we can remove the PXE path from the dhcpd conf if that is worth trying16:46

skaetslangasek,  good points.  fixing the spurious warnings seems like the right thing.  Do you think it will improve the signal to noise ratio on the bugs being reported against plymouth (ie seeing out what the real problems are)?17:24
slangasekskaet: well, some users for whom plymouth is not currently working as intended will no longer see it so because they won't care about a black screen between the splash and gdm but they do care about an error message; but we don't currently have anyone working on these issues anyway17:26
