kirklandhallyn: hey19:22
kirklandhallyn: fyi, aliguori tells me that qemu 0.14 is due out for GA very shortly (within a couple of weeks)19:22
kirklandhallyn: depending on how quickly Avi releases qemu-kvm, we might be able to get qemu-kvm-0.14 into Natty19:22
hallynkirkland: good timing, i was hoping to roll it into alpha319:22
hallyncool19:22
kirklandhallyn: "it" == qemu 0.14?19:23
hallynyeah19:23
kirklandaliguori: do you have RC's out yet?19:23
kirklandhallyn: sweet19:23
kirklandhallyn: well, alpha3 probably won't work19:23
hallynthough we've done enough bughunting with 0.13.0, that i'm not sure we *should* risk 0.14.0 at the last minute :)19:23
kirklandhallyn: as we're in alpha3 freeze as of Tuesday19:23
aliguoriHere's my proposal:19:23
aliguoriStable branch - 2/119:23
aliguori1 or 2 -rcs in between19:23
aliguoriStable release - 2/1519:23
aliguoriRegards,19:23
aliguoriAnthony Liguori19:23
kirklandhallyn: so to make alpha3, we'd need an upload by monday-ish19:23
hallynkirkland: btw, i still have no idea what's going on with jdstrand's kvm corruption.  dunno if i'ts a kvm, ecryptfs, or hardware fault19:24
kirklandhallyn: well aliguori's schedule certainly meets our feature freeze19:24
kirklandhallyn: hmm, yeah, that one worries me19:24
hallynaliguori: that was kindo  of formal :)19:24
hallynwell, we can give it a spin19:24
hallynand if your machiens remain available, we can even test 32-bit this time19:24
kirklandhallyn: i can certainly keep them available19:25
hallynawesome19:26
kirklandsmoser: how much have you played around with spice?22:10
smoserthat would be countable in minutes on one hand22:11
kirklandsmoser: hmm, okay22:13
kirklandsmoser: so qemu recently added a -vga qxl22:13
kirklandsmoser: i don't think we have it in Ubuntu yet (but may be in qemu-kvm-0.14)22:14
smoserwhat is qxl?22:14
smoseris that spice ?22:14
kirklandsmoser: anyway, i was curious what magic is required in the Ubuntu guest to run on a spice-capable hypervisor22:14
kirklandsmoser: yeah22:14
kirklandsmoser: I *think* xserver-xorg-video-qxl - X.Org X server -- QXL display driver22:14
kirklandsmoser: i think that's what we need in the guest22:15
smoserthat would make sense.22:15
kirklandsmoser: i was kinda wondering if we might see if the desktop team wants to put that in main and on the CD, if so22:16
kirklandsmoser: we should certainly put it in our cloud desktop images22:16
kirklandsmoser: even if amazon isn't spice ready today, they could blog that they've turned it on at any random time :-)22:17
smoserwell the ddesktiop images at this poith are still really only  main22:17
smoserso, get it in there.22:17
smoseramazon wont be spice ready.22:17
smoserxen i think is not going to happen22:17
smoserand even then22:17
smosernot something that make sense in the near term22:17
smoseras i understand it, spice is a much  more high bandwidth, low latency22:18
smosernoomachine / freenx / x2go is low bandwidth high latency22:18
smoseryou wont have the former unless you were on amazon campus22:18
smoseri have to run22:18
kirklandsmoser: k22:18
smoseri understand that spice is working on things to make it a better lwo bandwidth solution, though22:19
smoseri have looked at it for more than 5 minutes, but have never seen it functional.22:19
smoserie, not much more than 5 minutes22:19
kirklandsmoser: fwiw, i've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-qxl/+bug/70953722:59
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 709537 in xserver-xorg-video-qxl "[MIR] xserver-xorg-video-qxl" [Undecided,New]22:59
kirklandsmoser: i talked to bryceh about it, and he said it sounded reasonable22:59
kirklandsmoser: even if we won't use it for the EC2 images, i think it's a wise thing to have23:00
kirklandsmoser: as people in RH environments will want to use it23:00
