[02:11] i just installed ubuntu 11.04, but near the end of the installation i got the message "unable to install bootloader" so i chose to proceed without installing the bootloader, and when the install process was finished, i was prompted to reboot, only to find that i got booted into windows, how do i solve this? [02:12] BigMac: hi! this channel is for Ubuntu meetings, and you'll probably not find much help here. Try #ubuntu instead.

[17:05] yeah it's flying [17:05] We need to make sure that we have set correct expectations for work we are undertaking for this subscycle. [17:06] Therefore, if anyone doesn't have 'enough' to keep them busy.. please resolve this... [17:06] ... and equally, if you have too much and suspect it will not be met by A2... also please resolve it. [17:06] resolve either means invent the 25th hour in a day, or speak with myself or robbiew [17:07] So anyone that wants to sign up to more fun stuff... please shout :-) [17:07] * zul watches tumbleweeds go by [17:07] Situation where Debian has a newer version than us for packages we track is getting smaller by the day.

[17:12] So mostly dabbling around some xen patches [17:12] smb: how is our lovely kernel? [17:12] Sometimes they break sometimes they work... :) [17:12] smb: DomU ? [17:12] Up to now yeah [17:12] How is Dom0 looking? [17:12] Still need to go and check dom0 usage [17:13] okay.. [17:13] I had the feeling beside of the blkback, all config options already are set right [17:13] I am in, Daviey [17:13] smb: jjohansen was collecting some data for a matrix a while ago, did that get completed do you know? [17:14] hggdh: o/ [17:14] There is also the iscsitarget thing, where I need to find out how best handle a need of version higher than a deb package [17:14] Daviey, He was collecting mostly for normal kernels. [17:14] smb: bug associated with that? [17:14] AFAIK they will work on that in Dublin [17:14] okay.. [17:15] smb: Do i need to be concerned with iscsitarget? [17:15] Daviey, iscsitarget, no. I don't even know whether this is done with a bug [17:15] Daviey, Not that much it more a question of procedure [17:15] Which I need to bug some people on ubuntu devel [17:15] .win 3 [17:15] argh sry :( [17:15] RoAkSoAx: boring you? :) [17:16] smb: Hmm. okay, will hold out for your mail then. :) [17:16] yup [17:16] smoser: Anything for smb ?

[17:17] smoser, You are too kind to me master [17:17] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for Ubuntu ARM Server (NCommander) [17:17] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for Ubuntu ARM Server (NCommander) [17:18] NCommander: The mic is yours. [17:18] So work on UbuntU Server on ARM is starting in full now that we're over the A1 hump [17:18] (sorry, laptop is really lagging out ATM) [17:19] I've started work on implementing netboot images for OMAP3/4 so that we'll be able to test and use ensemble/orchastria on ARM, and shake bugs out of the alternate installer which is not regularly used on ARM images [17:19] NCommander: this is great, where can work be tracked? [17:20] NCommander: I assume you are in communication with foundations, specifically cjwatson - regarding d-i? [17:20] the ubuntu-armel workitem tracker and our blueprints would be the canonical place [17:20] Daviey: I'll kick a branch up for him to review but I generally do most of the installer work on ARM with ogra [17:20] [link] http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/oneiric/ubuntu-armel.html [17:20] LINK received: http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/oneiric/ubuntu-armel.html [17:21] NCommander: yeah.. if you have a unoffical netboot image you want us to smoke, can you provide a url we can grab? [17:21] Daviey, http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/oneiric/ubuntu-armel.html [17:21] Daviey: official oneiric daily ones should pop up when all is done, I'll drop a link your way when I get that far. A large hurdle dealing with OMAP partitioning was resolved today [17:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosfstools/+bug/794043 [17:21] bah, NCommander was faster [17:21] Ubuntu bug 794043 in dosfstools (Ubuntu) "mkdosfs incorrectly calculates sector total" [High,Triaged] [17:22] ogra_: I think the WI trackr for -armel needs refreshing :) [17:22] i almost had a heart attack :P [17:22] it does sadly :-( [17:22] Daviey, yeah, NCommander's specs are still missing :P [17:22] Looks like it's making great progress... anything else you wanted to mention? [17:22] * ogra_ ducks [17:23] More of a general announcement [17:23] Go ahead [17:24] As OMAP3/4 can't handle the alternate installer, we'll be building preinstall images, so for anyone who is interested in testing them, please be advised that they are different installation than the current server ones [17:24] Interesting.. what is the reasoning for OMAP3/4 not working? [17:25] besides being arm ;) [17:25] Daviey: limitations in the bootloader. It can only boot from SD, and the installer can not override itself [17:25] pandas are really meant just for dev work for the time being as they're the most common hardware. They're not ideal server hardware by any strech of the imagination [17:25] NCommander: I think the installer CAN overwrite itself.. if you are using mini.iso equivilant. [17:25] Daviey: that's the netboot/netinstall [17:26] yah [17:26] netinstall NOT netboot. [17:26] as another aside, PXE support has landed in the OMAP4 u-boot [17:26] \o/ [17:27] Its not currently in archive but should land with the next u-boot update [17:27] (there's a PPA with it, I can find a link if anyone interested) [17:27] NCommander: I look forward to reading the blog post all about it. [17:27] The detail of the blog post will really excite me. :) [17:27] :-) [17:27] Okay.. happy to move on? [17:27] Anyway, does anyone have any questions about Ubuntu Server on ARM, or ARM in general? [17:28] when can we read that blog post ? [17:28] not from me... really blocked on having a server image to test. :) [17:28] ogra_: between now and release [17:28] (ideally, sometime in the next week or so) [17:28] NCommander, between now and release is nothing my browser takes as URL :P [17:29] when and where ? :) [17:29] Okay, moving on.. NCommander, can you ping -server when you have an image we can try :) [17:29] * ogra_ didnt know you have a blog [17:29] Sure, I'll keep you apprised [17:29] \o/ [17:29] ogra_: I'm on planet. My last blog post was in 2009 [17:29] I might post in 2011 [17:29] wow [17:29] * Daviey jumps back [17:29] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:29] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:29] OK [17:30] two bugs of interest: [17:30] * Daviey hopes it is the one he is thinking. [17:30] bug 791607 <- from A1, Euca does not start [17:30] Launchpad bug 791607 in eucalyptus (Ubuntu) "Oneiric Eucalyptus fails to start up" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/791607 [17:31] and bug 790712 <- kernel OOPS on i386. I am getting this one sporadically, about 1 in 5 runs [17:31] Launchpad bug 790712 in linux (Ubuntu) "20110531 i386 server ISO: kernel OOPS during install" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/790712 [17:31] Okay..The packaging for euca is likely to be changing soon.. So it hasn't recieved much attention until we know how to proceed [17:32] smb: Seen that bug? [17:32] Daviey: one other thing, I thought we had NTP as a depends/recommends on current euca, could not see it [17:32] Daviey, not before now and then only what ubotu said [17:32] hggdh: You are correct.. [17:33] smb: have you fixed it yet? :) [17:33] also, adam_g is getting his hands wet on the UEC test rig ;-) [17:33] smb: Okay, just wanted to make it known.. [17:33] wonders take a bit of time [17:33] hopefully soon. :) [17:33] smb: On the 8th day. [17:34] adam_g: exciting. [17:34] * smb goes inventing the time machine [17:34] hggdh / jamespage : Any news on jenkins throwing out failure emails? :) [17:35] Daviey: we should be looking at it next week, on the QA sprint/rally/roomba/whatchamacallit [17:35] Daviey: together with a potential relocation of the Jenkins server [17:35] hggdh: super, i think Mr Page might be joining you for a few days. [17:36] hggdh: anything else? [17:36] Daviey: no, I am done [17:36] hggdh: thank you sir!

[17:38] Daviey: maybe, I was able to add another section to the server guide before vacation. [17:39] sommer: I missed that, what did you do? [17:39] I guess I'm a little unclear on the direction the server documentation should go [17:39] Daviey: added a iscsi initiator section [17:39] useful++ [17:39] sommer: Yeah.. direction is bit of an issue.. Specific ideas? [17:40] Daviey: I kind of like j1mc's idea about looking at the Open Stack docs, and emulating their layout [17:40] Yeah.. I buy into that... I wanted to hear your views first tho. [17:41] I think that's a good idea, but if I remember correctly the Open Stack docs use DocBook as well. And I think there is still an issue in translating the DocBook format. [17:42] I'd really like to see the server docs translated as much as possible [17:42] sommer: Are you happy to drive looking into it with j1mc, and report back next week with issues? [17:42] Daviey: sure thing [17:43] [ACTION] sommer and j1mc to look at doc presentation. [17:43] ACTION received: sommer and j1mc to look at doc presentation.

We're just wrestling with module-init-tools to get depmod sorted out. We've rebased to v3.0-rc2 and pushed to master-next. With v3.0-rc2, there's an issue on boot (black screen of death) when the i915 driver is loaded. This can be worked around using i915.modeset=0 at the moment. There's also reported boot issues on some system's with atom processors on at le [18:05] ast v3.0-rc1.

[21:52] Guys what is bug triaging? [21:52] pc_magas: there is a meeting going on [21:52] njin: Any plans to get involved with the bug control team? [21:52] we can talk afterwards if you want [21:52] ok [21:52] * ogra_ just checked his bug mailbox [21:53] njin: I'll be honest with you, I doubt you'll get membership today. it's usually when someone can show that they've done significant and sustained contributions to ubuntu when they get membership. It would be great if your wiki page could have more examples of your work and testimonials from people you've worked with [21:53] 462 mails from njin [21:53] tes, but on first I've to learn very well kernal [21:53] wow [21:53] njin: tbh I feel the same as highvoltage [21:54] well, thats only a wiki page [21:54] isn't there anyone who could have left testimonal for you? [21:54] njin, you really need to do something with the wiki ... your contribution is awesome but needs to be put on it [21:54] Yep. Your contributions look great so far (based on your Launchpad profile), but a more detailed wiki would be nice [21:54] njin: which is what we look at [21:54] I start my work with the com munity on ityalian forum [21:54] in the 2008 [21:54] njin: indeed, although it's the content of the wiki page we're more interested in than the page itself [21:54] then I join iso-testing team [21:54] The testimonials are also rather important, as they come from people you have worked with. As a result, those people tend to know you better than we do [21:55] njin: the italian loco does great work surely somone on the iso team there could have left a comment. [21:55] a nd i've translated kvm and arm for the doc team, but bugsquad really catch all of my time [21:55] njin: those are great things! it would be incredibly useful if you could list that on your wiki page along with the work that you have done on those teams [21:55] we're going to have to move on we;re nearly out of time [21:55] [vote] please vote on njin membership.

[21:58] (sorry again, *bashes keyboard into submission*) [21:58] My name is Elias Epirotes. [21:58] I was introduced to ubuntu by a friend in 2007 who insisted that I try it out. [21:59] In November 2008 I joined the forum of the Greek community where I eventually became a moderator last summer. [21:59] highvoltage: gesh you'd swear you werent paying attention :p [21:59] Since 2009, I also participate in translations in lauchpad. [22:00] nicely laid out wiki , thank you . makes our life a lot easier [22:00] thanks [22:01] Epirotes: so how would you like to get more people involved in Ubuntu ? [22:01] * highvoltage is ready to vote [22:01] I would really love that and I'm already doing the best I can. [22:02] I believe that open source software in general is way to go in future, especially here in Greece. [22:02] "D [22:02] :D [22:03] [VOTE] please vote on the membership of Epirotes .

[22:03] Thank you very much; it is an honor. [22:04] thank you all for coming [22:04] woohoo! :) [22:04] congratulations and welcome, Epirotes [22:04] alkisg, heh [22:04] more new Ubuntu members :D [22:04] czajkowski: when do you suggest me to re-apply? :) [22:04] Congratulations to all of the new members [22:04] highvoltage: thank you [22:05] added to ~ubuntumebmers Epirotes welcome :) [22:05] Daniel0108: I think you need some more time and to get invovled in projects in Ubutnu and not upstream and work on getting more people here to cheer you on [22:05] give it a few months [22:05] nhandler: thanks for your help [22:05] drubin: thank you [22:05] czajkowski: thank you very much :) [22:05] highvoltage: drubin stgraber ogra_ as always it's been fun :) [22:05] thanks for chairing [22:05] :) [22:05] ogra_: one of these days you're chairing :) [22:05] yep, thanks to all and thanks to czajkowski for chairing [22:05] czajkowski: ^5 thanks for chairing [22:05] and for the wakeup ping [22:06] just waiting to get quorum for the CC meeting [22:06] right now to go and break my other machine as it wont work [22:06] toodles [22:06] * pleia2 waves to mdke [22:06] evenin [22:06] pleia2: sorry we went a bit over [22:06] czajkowski: You are welcome [22:06] * mdke waves back [22:06] * Technoviking is here [22:07] eek, I forgot to add my CC agenda item (the sabdfl process I mentioned during the Ask Mark session at UDS), but I haven't really prepared so I can add that for next time [22:07] ok :) [22:07] * jono waves [22:08] highvoltage: sounds good. Could you add a link to some context for those who missed that? [22:08] (on the agenda) [22:08] mdke: will do, that's pretty much the main thing I need to do in preperation [22:09] coolio [22:09] how many do we need for quorum? [22:09] 4 [22:09] maybe popey will make it [22:09] I believe Mark is traveling right now [22:09] yeah, he said that he can't make it [22:10] np [22:11] well, we can probably start the meeting even without quorum [22:11] we can take things to the list if we need to vote or anything [22:12] #startmeeting [22:12] Meeting started at 16:12. The chair is pleia2. [22:12] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [22:12] [TOPIC] Governance Boards (staffing, feedback/reports) [22:12] New Topic: Governance Boards (staffing, feedback/reports) [22:12] greetings [22:12] I added this before UDS, but I think we've got it sorted [22:12] hey mako [22:12] so unless anyone has comments, I'm just going to pull it from the agenda [22:12] walking back my office, wireless will disappear for a sec, will red buffer [22:13] pleia2: none from me [22:13] is [22:13] is nathan-bahn here? [22:13] I think this sounder agenda item may be leftover, and I think that issue is closed anyway [22:14] I recall that this was already discussed a second time at a recent meeting [22:14] yeah [22:14] [TOPIC] General [22:14] New Topic: General [22:14] anything anyone wants to bring up which isn't on the agenda? [22:14] back [22:15] if nathan-bahn is reading and has something to add, perhaps he could email us with context on any additional issues that he would like to raise that wasn't covered in the previous discussion [22:15] nothing to add to the agenda from me [22:15] mdke: added it to the talk page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda/talk (will link to there) [22:16] highvoltage: thanks === Phantomas1 is now known as Phantomas [22:16] highvoltage: will read with interest, although I guess we should deal with it in a meeting when Mark is present [22:17] mdke: indeed [22:18] ok, anything else? [22:18] i am happy to speak to my understanding of the sabdfl-veto stuff [22:19] I'd be interested to hear more on it [22:19] from a communitygovernance perspective (AIUI) there is no such thing [22:19] indeed, I looked very hard for it :) [22:19] according to my memory (and, fwiw, http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/governance as well) mark has a *casting* vote [22:19] on both the CC and the TB [22:20] that essentially only comes into play in the context of deadlocks [22:21] i've been on the CC since the beginning and i am pretty sure it has never been used on the cc. not sure about the tb [22:21] I think that in practice that doesn't reflect reality though [22:21] now, mark plays another role in the process [22:21] ah sorry, carry on [22:21] which is that he funds development and indirectly pays everyone who works on canonical [22:21] and, in that capacity, also controls several resources like the ubuntu trademark [22:22] and although the community and community governance may be consulted (perhaps even asked in decide with votes?, although i can't remember any examples) [22:22] its essentially his decision. i think you can think of that like a sabdfl veto [22:23] although i don't think that's a particularly useful or accurate way of describing the political structure [22:23] people do often say that something has been "sabdfl'd" though. I guess it's probably something that happens more within Canonical than in the Ubuntu community directly [22:23] in that case it might not be as relevant [22:23] there certainly have been examples of decisions that mark, as head of canonical, decided not to have the CC decide [22:24] highvoltage: i think people are using terms that are somewhere between vague and incorrect. you should correct them or ask them to be more clear :) [22:24] highvoltage: can you give an example of something being sabdfl'd ?? [22:24] I think we should distinguish between two types of "sabdflication" [22:24] (good word, btw) [22:25] the first is the type mako is talking about [22:25] I'd hate for the word to become like googled :) [22:25] czajkowski: not off the top of my head, but I can get some for the next meeting, it should be quite easy [22:25] the second is where Mark just makes a proposal for a new feature or a change in the distribution; and that is taken as law because of his position [22:26] and that is the type that highvoltage seems to be talking about. It seems useful to me to clarify that such proposals really should have discussion in the project [22:26] yep [22:26] as for the first type, I don't think there is anything we can do about it [22:27] sure. i also think that there are people who think becaues mark has suggested something, nobody else can disagree with it. [22:27] as mako said, it's just a factor of Mark's roll as bankroll of the project :) [22:28] i understand that. but i would encourage people to step up and let their opinion be known if they disagree. mark has suggested a number of features which, due to reactions by others, have not worked out.. quite a few actually :) [22:28] yep. highvoltage's proposal seems to be a way of making that process more explicit [22:29] particularly if Mark himself is amenable to the idea [22:30] and we might be able to clarify the role of the sabdfl in the process, to clear up some of the confusion that mako has mentioned [22:30] so do we want to pick this up at the next meeting with mark? [22:30] i tend to think we have more than enough sabdfl-specific infrastructure (governance and otherwise) but am generally interested in thing that will increase dialog and remove social barrirers to more meaningful participation :) [22:31] pleia2: I'm in favour of doing that, yes [22:31] my guess is that, in general, people are reticent to publically disagree with other people who have lots of respect/authority within the project [22:31] highvoltage: some examples would be great for the next meeting, thanks for putting together some details :) [22:31] clearly, sabdfl is going to be top of that list. but i imagine it's a more general problem [22:31] mako: yeah, with some exceptions :) [22:31] pleia2: ok, will do. I already remembered two good ones [22:32] mako: I think that with Mark, it is more pronounced not only because of his actual role in the project, but also because of the concept of the sabdfl that maybe portrays something slightly different from the reality [22:33] mako: but I take your point that this phenomenon is not necessarily limited to Mark [22:33] mdke: totally :) [22:34] ok, we can probably wrap up then, thanks everyone [22:34] * mdke nods, thanksall [22:35] #endmeeting [22:35] Meeting finished at 16:35. [22:35] ciao! [22:56] * popey arrives fashionably late [22:58] * phillw wonders if popey would actually be on time for his own funeral :P [22:58] * phillw runs ------> [22:58] :D
