jibelHey folks, the first images are available in the tracker.  Sync your ISOs and go for testing.15:47
jibelara, can you change to topic please ?15:47
araI think so :)15:48
arapedro_, what did I have to do to be channel operator?15:49
pedro_ara, /msg chanserv op #ubuntu-testing15:50
arathanks :)15:52
=== ara changed the topic of #ubuntu-testing to: Testing Natty Alpha 1 candidate images | http://qa.ubuntu.com/testing/iso-testing/ | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com
pedro_you're welcome15:52
jibelara, pedro_ many thanks.15:55
charlie-tcahm, all the Ubuntu images can not be run in VBox now? (no 3d)16:15
jibelcharlie-tca, no unity in VMs, you should fallback to gnome.  (Unless you know a product which fully supports opengl)16:22
charlie-tcajibel, exactly, so you don't really get a valid test, do you?16:23
aracharlie-tca, well, you get the valid test of falling back to gnome :)16:27
aracharlie-tca, which should be a good test16:27
aracharlie-tca, adding that as a comment in the tracker should be fine16:27
fader_Seems like we actually need both tests -- the default Unity install and the GNOME fallback16:28
jibelfader_, indeed, we will need 2 sets of test cases.16:29
fader_Yeah, seems like it doubles the amount of testing we need to do while also removing one of the best tools to do testing :/16:30
charlie-tca+116:30
charlie-tcaAlso makes it harder. 64bit hardware tests are not easy to get16:31
fader_Yeah :(  I could maybe scrounge up an old beater 32-bit system, but a 64-bit one is going to be more difficult16:32
charlie-tcaI got 32bit with ATI card available for testing here16:35
fader_Is natty still using clutter rather than compiz for unity?16:36
charlie-tcaI think it has compiz, but not sure16:36
jibelfader_, it uses compiz.16:37
jibelright now you even have nautilus because dash is not implemented yet.16:38
fader_Hmm, I had assumed compiz would work under vbox with the 3d-accel options turned on16:38
jibelfader_, no, compiz works, but freezes when you enable the Unity plugin.16:39
jibelfurthermore, VBox 3D Video driver doesn't builds with 2.6.37.16:39
fader_D'oh16:40
fader_jibel: Yeah, I just saw that build failure on my vbox install16:40
fader_Bleh16:40
jibelfader_, anyway the video driver is not built by default because there's a bug in the build script, you need build it 'manually' but it fails.16:42
jibelfader_, 1 solution is to downgrade the guest to 2.6.36 but then there unimplemented opengl calls. Well, that's a lot of if...16:43
fader_Hehe16:44
fader_Yeah, and doesn't make for a valid test case anyway :)16:44
jibel:-)16:44

charlie-tcastarting Ubuntu alternate 386 on hardware17:31
skaet_jibel, just a heads up that the i386 server images have bug 669496 thats going to interfere with testing them.18:00
ubot4`skaet_: Bug 669496 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/669496 is private18:00
jibelskaet_, okay thanks.18:01
jibelhggdh, ^18:01
hggdhlooking18:05
hggdhjibel: thanks, subscribed18:07
hggdhseems to hit EC2 images only, smoser is on it18:07
charlie-tcaAre we really installing a folder for windows connections in Ubuntu now?18:28
charlie-tcaIs it a bug if it fails when I have no windows systems?18:28
charlie-tcamvo, the fix for bug 678196 caused the gpg key to go missing18:39
ubot4`Launchpad bug 678196 in apt (Ubuntu Natty) (and 1 other project) "Ubuntu extras repository prevents other updates (affects: 7) (heat: 36)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67819618:39
charlie-tcado you want a new bug for the missing key?18:39
charlie-tcaWell, my ati card don't work with unity and compiz after the updates today18:52
fader_charlie-tca: You're so into things 'working' and 'being useful'... you're harshing my mellow!18:59
fader_:P18:59
charlie-tcaYeah, destroyed mine altogether now18:59
fader_Heh19:00
charlie-tcaI guess I can't test this, since nothing works anyway ;-)19:00
fader_Makes for a quick test :)19:00
charlie-tcaTakes just as long to install and update, just to find it won't work no more19:01
fader_Well but you can mark all the other test cases for that image as 'failed' O:-)19:01
charlie-tcaAnd I can't shutdown from the classic desktop, too19:01
charlie-tcadidrocks said it is not a bug19:02
charlie-tcaand it will have the fallback working for alpha2 :-)19:08
fader_Hehe19:08
fader_"This isn't a bug -- everyone will love Ubuntu so much that they will never want to shut it down."19:09
charlie-tcaI suspect if alpha1 is released as is, with no fallback, only working with new ati and intel video, it is going to be a bad thing.19:09
charlie-tcaYou get a desktop with dock and panels until you run updates, then you get a blank wallpaper with a cursor19:10
charlie-tcaand the only way you know it is a desktop is if you hit Ctrl+Alt+t and get the terminal?19:11
charlie-tcaWell, it installed. That is a pass, right :-)19:14
fader_charlie-tca: That's one step better than just compiling... I think we're done for the cycle!19:15
charlie-tcaheh19:15
charlie-tcaIt is, afterall, alpha1. It is supposed to be able to break your system19:15
fader_Exactly... keep people on their toes, give testers a warm fuzzy feeling about finding 1000 bugs, etc. :)19:17
fader_Ah, also I just realized that I have a USB drive I can install to on my main system, so I should be able to do some 64-bit testing on real hardware19:18
fader_\o/19:18
charlie-tcaokay. I am putting my nvida 6200 back in, and will run 32bit tests with it. At least after installing the drivers, I will know if it worked19:22
mvocharlie-tca: re 678196> yes please19:33
mvocharlie-tca: ideally with a way to reproduce19:33
charlie-tcabug 68138219:33
ubot4`Launchpad bug 681382 in ubuntu-extras-keyring (Ubuntu) "extras gpg key missing for natty (affects: 6) (dups: 1) (heat: 38)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68138219:33
charlie-tcareproduce is easy, install natty, run updates19:33
mvothanks, I look at it tomorrow19:40
charlie-tcaThank you.19:41
charlie-tcafader_, got it! all alternate 386 images are a fail now19:59
charlie-tca(in Ubuntu)19:59
fader_charlie-tca: Heh, efficient! :)20:02
charlie-tcapersistent, too20:02
jibelanybody tested the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 ?20:50
charlie-tcaI seem to still be working on that first test for today lol20:56
charlie-tcathis here unity/compiz thing seems fun :-)20:57
charlie-tcaWell, I think I got that report filed now.21:00
charlie-tcaw00t! second test, finally21:14
fader_Is it only the Ubuntu images that will default to Unity now?  E.g. Edubuntu should still go to the standard GNOME desktop?23:24
* fader_ hopes so and starts cranking on amd64 edubuntu tests.23:29
charlie-tcayes, I think23:30
fader_w00t, that means I can do it in vbox :D23:31
fader_Ah, indeed -- Unity is an optional install23:31
charlie-tcaI am running the encrypted install again. the whole drive, not encrypted worked23:35
fader_charlie-tca: Out of curiosity, how's the work on the a11y testcases going?23:37
fader_I realize you won't have anything yet but I just wondered if it's still in the works :)23:37
charlie-tcaslow23:37
charlie-tcaYes, I am working on them, but it is much more difficult when things are not working23:37
fader_Yeah :/23:37
charlie-tcaI used maverick to get started, but the installer changed again23:38
fader_I wonder if we'd have better luck pushing for it to be part of the design, and have test cases written before the code is done23:38
fader_Test-driven development, at least for a11y23:38
charlie-tcahmm, I don't know.23:39
fader_Not that I know who to lean on to make that happen, other than being a big PITA at UDS :)23:40
fader_(But if that will help I'm happy to do it)23:40
charlie-tcayup23:40
charlie-tcaI don't know. Most of the a11y is still on Luke, so it is pretty hard to push until he can get things rolling23:41
charlie-tcaXubuntu alternate i386 done except wubi23:42
charlie-tcaoops, no, that should have been Xubuntu Desktop 38623:43
fader_Yeah, I forgot he was focusing on that this cycle23:57
fader_Hmm, edubuntu has nautilus started but no gnome panels :(23:57
fader_Heh, starts right up from the terminal, too23:58
