| rusivi | micahg: I'm going to mark myself affected asap | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| micahg | rusivi: did you clear the bug # from the duplicate box and click the green check? | 00:06 |
| rusivi | micahg: I tried that before asking but it did not undo the duplication. | 00:07 |
| micahg | rusivi: maybe it's a permissions thing | 00:07 |
| rusivi | Wouldn't be the first time ;) | 00:07 |
| rusivi | micahg: It did not respond that it could not do the action due to my permissions so IDK | 00:08 |
| rusivi | I clicked the check, the box disappeared, I refreshed the page, nothing changed. | 00:08 |
| micahg | rusivi: right, I would say, if it's reproducible, file a bug against launchpad in any event if it is a permissions thing, the text should be changed | 00:09 |
| rusivi | micahg: The next time I mistakenly mark a bug a duplicate (later rather than sooner) I'll check for it and create a malone bug if it does not work. | 00:10 |
| micahg | rusivi: malone is no more, all bugs are against launchpad now | 00:11 |
| rusivi | micahg: "Launchpad itself" | 00:11 |
| micahg | rusivi: yes | 00:11 |

| Amaranth | I remember hearing something about regression-potential going away, did that happen? | 00:53 |
| micahg | Amaranth: yes | 00:53 |
| Amaranth | I was rather surprised to see two bugs in compiz we know about and plan on fixing well before the natty release get tagged "regression-release" | 00:53 |
| hggdh | Amaranth: it ended up regression-potential bugs had to be manually converted to regression-release *after* code release, and it was just unneeded work | 01:05 |
| hggdh | so regression-release got to be used for both dev and stable | 01:05 |
| Amaranth | hggdh: just call it "regression" then :) | 01:06 |
| Amaranth | Although the compiz wakeups one is not as big of a deal as people make it sounds... | 01:06 |
| hggdh | Amaranth: we considered that, but there are other regressions | 01:06 |
| Amaranth | There are? | 01:06 |
| hggdh | regression-proposed and -update | 01:07 |
| hggdh | and these are important enough to be kept | 01:07 |

| micahg | em: you should note this bug number in your report, but the kernel team prefers separate reports since sometimes hardware can be slightly different | 04:30 |

| rusivi | Regarding bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keepassx/+bug/608396 while this bug has a easily performed workaround (don't hold the key-combo too long) it's a deal breaker if you hold it too long. Seems importance should be low or medium, leaning towards low. | 05:24 |

| rusivi | micahg: Sure. | 06:00 |
| micahg | rusivi: thanks | 06:01 |

| rusivi | micahg: sorry misunderstood meaning. As in, a workaround is not a solution. | 06:13 |
| micahg | rusivi: right | 06:14 |

| rusivi | Regarding bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool/+bug/631665 just checked in Maverick, it's fixed. Should I just mark the "Maverick" as "Fix Released", or both this & "gcalctool (ubuntu)"? | 07:19 |

| SpamapS | rusivi: did you verify that it is fixed in maverick-updates, or maverick-proposed ? | 07:42 |
| SpamapS | rusivi: if its fixed in maverick-proposed, then you need to post that you did the verification in the bug, and the SRU team will remove the verification-needed tag, set it to verification-done, and move the package from poposed to updates... which launchpad will see, and mark the task as Fix Released automatically. | 07:43 |
| rusivi | SpamapS: I verified it's fixed in maverick-updates | 07:47 |
| rusivi | SpamapS: It looks like update & proposed are the same now -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/gcalctool/+builds | 07:48 |
| micahg | rusivi: yes, it was pushed to maverick-updates 2 months ago, so Fix released is appropriate for maverick and the default task | 07:50 |
| SpamapS | weird, I wonder why that wasn't caught by the updater | 07:50 |
| * SpamapS will have to ponder that while sleeping... | 07:50 | |
| * SpamapS passes out | 07:50 | |
| rusivi | micahg: K, will make notes of my successful test and mark both Fix Released | 07:50 |
| micahg | SpamapS: there were 3 revisions uploaded to -proposed and the final one didn't use -v :) | 07:51 |
| yofel | SpamapS: it was superseded by ubuntu4 before it even made it to -updates which confiused launchpad | 07:51 |
| yofel | micahg: what's -v? | 07:51 |
| micahg | yofel: yes, but what's supposed to happen is the uploader should pass the current release version when building the source so all the new versions show in the .changes file | 07:52 |
| yofel | aah | 07:52 |
| micahg | rusivi: it seems it was never verified either which was bad | 07:53 |

| c2tarun | can anyone please look at bug 695696, i checked its man page and ubiquity is a software to install ubuntu from a live CD, then what are syslog and partman files, the reporter is talkiing about? | 14:29 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 695696 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Crashed Pinguy install on laptop (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/695696 | 14:29 |
| c2tarun | bug 695696 | 14:29 |
| charlie-tca | syslog and partman files are two logs from /var/log that are generated when ubiquity crashes. | 14:30 |
| c2tarun | charlie-tca: Can you please explain me a bit, that why we need ubiquity for installing ubuntu from a live CD. Even why we need any software when we have live CD? | 14:32 |
| charlie-tca | ubiquity is the installer built in to the live cd; There is no package called "live CD". the actual package name is ubiquity | 14:33 |
| c2tarun | ok, so I guess that we don't have any way to reproduce his bug. + he didn't mentioned about the ubuntu version he is trying to install? | 14:34 |
| charlie-tca | The live cd is simply a group of packages put together by developers and made to work as if it was an installed system. When something fails on the Live CD, we have to determine what application actually failed. The failing package during an install is ubiquity. | 14:35 |
| yofel | he should have said that, but you can get the ubuntu version from the syslog: | 14:36 |
| yofel | Dec 30 12:34:18 guest kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.35-23-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) ) #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 5 19:17:11 UTC 2010 (Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.37-generic 2.6.35.7) | 14:36 |
| yofel | => maverick | 14:36 |
| c2tarun | Ok. But how can we confirm his bug? I googled and found someone also reported this bug on ubuntuforums.org | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | To triage the bug in ubiquity, we need to know the date of the cd, and the bug should probably be against https://launchpad.net/pinguyos instead of ubiquity | 14:38 |
| charlie-tca | or also against pinguyos | 14:38 |
| charlie-tca | We can't actually confirm it | 14:39 |
| c2tarun | Ok, so what can we do with this bug? | 14:40 |

| wolfpack | ok | 14:44 |

| c2tarun | charlie-tca: what do you mean by converting a bug to question? | 14:45 |
| micahg | charlie-tca: idk about that, it seems like a wishlist bug in that it should auto detect | 14:46 |
| charlie-tca | There is a place in the top right column to convert to a question. some times the reporter is actually seeking support instead of reporting a bug, and converting to a question lets it get an answer | 14:46 |
| charlie-tca | micahg: What is "Is there a known solution for this??" if not a support question? | 14:47 |
| c2tarun | micahg: sorry to interrupt, but what is a "wishlist bug", I think either it is a wishlist or a bug. :( | 14:47 |
| charlie-tca | we do not triage that, it should have been answered through research already | 14:48 |
| micahg | charlie-tca: basically wanting to know if it's fixed in later releases or not | 14:48 |
| charlie-tca | micahg: then do what you want with it. | 14:48 |
| charlie-tca | I am tired of trying to justify every answer I give when you are around | 14:49 |
| micahg | charlie-tca: that's basically saying that people can't report bugs on older version w/out verifying it doesn't exist on a later version (which upstreams generally ask be done, but idk about our policy) | 14:49 |
| micahg | charlie-tca: you might indeed be right, I'm just trying to clarify a general policy regarding older releases | 14:49 |
| micahg | charlie-tca: you do a great job answering people's questions | 14:50 |
| micahg | charlie-tca: maybe it should be a topic for the next meeting? | 14:52 |

| hggdh | and I am trying again the server ISO... will it suddenly reboot during install? | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | did yesterday | 17:50 |
| hggdh | and did, again, just now :-( | 17:53 |
| rusivi | IMHO, Regarding "<micahg> charlie-tca: that's basically saying that people can't report bugs on older version w/out verifying it doesn't exist on a later version (which upstreams generally ask be done, but idk about our policy)" Upstream doesn't generally, it's a prereq for majority of projects I've seen! All kidding aside, it seems fair people who report bugs in prior releases (assuming not mass affecting, security hole, major | 19:36 |
| rusivi | issue, and if a newer package is available in newer release) be asked to test for the problem via Live CD or VM, and if they are in a position where they absolutely could not test it (time, refused, cost, lack of education), it still remains an open bug for others to help address in the release bugged and newer ones. | 19:36 |
| charlie-tca | hggdh: amd64 xubuntu alternate made it to installing core packages today | 19:54 |
| penguin42 | this isn't something screwy like someone enabling a watchdog is it? | 19:55 |
| charlie-tca | before the restart | 19:55 |
| charlie-tca | don't know, how do I find it? | 19:55 |
| penguin42 | not sure, personally I'd be tempted to find a way to get the kernel messages to another machine | 19:57 |
| charlie-tca | It does a complete restart, I don't know that there are any logs | 19:57 |
| hggdh | I am considering it, but I cannot find a way of getting the installer syslog out | 19:57 |
| penguin42 | doesn't it dump it in the installed directory somewhere? | 19:58 |
| hggdh | it is written to the tmpfs... | 19:58 |
| charlie-tca | There isn't an installed directory at that point, is there? | 19:58 |
| hggdh | it will only dump it after system install (until then, there is no FS to be used | 19:58 |
| charlie-tca | and when it restarts, the logs are gone | 19:58 |
| penguin42 | hmph | 19:58 |
| penguin42 | do you think it'll reboot if you just leave it or do you need to keep interacting? | 19:59 |
| charlie-tca | open to ideas, though | 19:59 |
| charlie-tca | No, it reboots on its own when install packages | 19:59 |
| hggdh | it is rebooting (in my case) during base system install | 19:59 |
| penguin42 | ok, as soon as it starts doing that, ctrl-alt-console and see if it says anything before it explodes | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | it reads on screen, "installing core packages..." | 20:00 |
| hggdh | and -- again in my case -- "extracting libpcreg... BANG!" | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | almost | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | "ignoring pre-dependency problems" | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | and then I missed the rest | 20:01 |
| hggdh | too fast :-( | 20:01 |
| charlie-tca | trying again | 20:01 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe I will boot the 400MHz cpu and try it | 20:01 |
| charlie-tca | I know. I will snapshot the screen | 20:02 |
| charlie-tca | coreutils is not installed | 20:04 |
| charlie-tca | there seems to be a bunch of missing packages | 20:05 |
| charlie-tca | snapshot was too slow | 20:05 |
| charlie-tca | missing libnewt0.52, ext2-modules, efi-modules | 20:07 |
| hggdh | at this point in time, there is almost nothing installed | 20:07 |
| penguin42 | no coreutils then you're pretty screwed | 20:08 |
| charlie-tca | That was the last one I caught | 20:08 |
| hggdh | I will try here on KVM, and see if I can rescue it later (I tried on bare-metal -- but remote, and rescue did not work) | 20:09 |
| charlie-tca | Can't pull anything from VBox, since there is no way to keep it running long enough to pull | 20:10 |
| penguin42 | you could try booting with the nowatchdog parameter - worth a shot, no more | 20:10 |
| hggdh | the only messages I see is "rebooting", and at about the same time "sending kill signal" | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | heh, too fast | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | I am going to try to snapshot it again | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | Hey, last screen I get before it restarts - http://imagebin.org/130283 | 20:19 |
| charlie-tca | Now you want me to try and do that to the server image? which one>? | 20:20 |
| penguin42 | charlie-tca: There are no kernel messages there that might indicate what's going on - isn't there a console that has kernel stuff? | 20:20 |
| charlie-tca | No, that is the only one | 20:21 |
| penguin42 | try ctrl-alt and work through f10-f5 - nothing on any of them? | 20:22 |
| charlie-tca | let me try that, | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | you know, that takes a new install each time, right? | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | it doesn't really stay on screen very long | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | yeh but you should be able to find the console with the kernel messages before it dies in plenty of time | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | looking | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | That's the only console with messages on it | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | will it let you get a shell on the others? | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | on 2 and 3 it will. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 are sitting with the _ on them | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | you could try sitting on 2 or 3 while it does the install, possibly with something liek tail -f /var/log/messages if there is one | 20:28 |
| penguin42 | you could also on 2 and 3 do setterm -msg on setterm -msglevel 8 which I think should give the maximum amount of blurb | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | consoles are using built-in shell (ash) | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | stterm not found | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | setterm | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | hmph | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | It's a busybox shell | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 20:34 |
| penguin42 | charlie-tca: You could try running tail -f /proc/kmsg & in one of the terminals | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | server shot looks the same | 20:34 |
| penguin42 | oh well, out of ideas | 20:35 |
