jibelHi azll10:30

jibelUbuntu Desktop images and upgrades are published on the tracker.10:31
chadadavisIs there a blueprint on the decision regarding the planned size of the install images (e.g. 700, 703, 1G, etc)?12:00
vmiheer__i have downloaded oneiric daily build last night and installed inside windows...13:09
vmiheer__The backlight of my Acer aspire 4736z goes off just before the login screen13:10
vmiheer__fortunately i got an lcd screen in my college with vga port the display is working fine. but it is in unity 2d mode. I can't use gnome session.13:12
brendandchadadavis - let me see if i can find it13:12
vmiheer__My laptop display works in windows and also ubuntu 10.04 i38613:13
vmiheer__the only problem is i was always been unable to change the brightness of it.13:13
vmiheer__I found same problem with my 11.04. but sometimes magically the display appeared there...13:14
vmiheer__please atleast tell me how i am supposed to report this bug my email id is v.miheer@gmail.com13:15
vmiheer__thanking you...13:15
brendandchadadavis - tada! https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-o-great-cd-debate13:16

brendandchadadavis - see the diagram at the bottom for other related BPs13:17
charlie-tcaThat will attach most of the needed log files13:18
vmiheer_another thing i can see the stuff on my display using an led torch...13:19
vmiheer_:-)13:19
vmiheer_thank you charlie-tca i will try and get back...13:20
chadadavisbrendand, it looks like we're aiming for 703MB images, then?13:23
chadadavisunless anyone here knows differently?13:23
brendandchadadavis - ubuntu-installer is a better hangout for that question, if you really want to know for sure13:24
brendand(although cjwatson is here)13:24
chadadavisThanks, brendand, better to go to the right place ...13:24
vmiheerBy chance the backlight has turned on this time...13:37
vmiheerI am using unity 2d13:37
charlie-tcajibel: screen-reader install will fail on alpha214:36
charlie-tcajibel: I sent a message to the qa ML asking that not be included for this milestone14:37
jibelcharlie-tca, I read your mail, I've a bunch of updates to do on the tracker. I finish reviewing of ubuntu images and will removes will proceed with the updates later today.14:43
chadadavisstgraber, if you're getting edubuntu rebuilt, the gdm problem with edubuntu dvd amd64 affects i386 as well15:31
stgraberchadadavis: really? I don't see the gdm package on the i386 image.15:33
chadadavisstgraber, but you verified that gdm was the problem? apt-cache policy gdm: Installed: 3.0.4-0ubuntu315:34
stgraberchadadavis: having gdm on the DVD is a problem in all cases. Now booting amd64 here just gives a tty with gdm running on some other vt. Booting i386 gives a working live session15:36
chadadavisstgraber: I can sudo service lightdm start manually, but it doesn't start automatically.15:38
hggdhchadadavis: did you dpkg-reconfigure gdm or lightdm?15:39
stgraberchadadavis: on amd64 that's correct. On i386 I have lightdm running here.15:39
chadadavisstgraber: happens to me on i386 as well, under virtual box 415:39
chadadavishggdh: neither15:40
stgraberchadadavis: dpkg -l | grep gdm15:40
stgraberchadadavis: do you get anything on i386?15:40
hggdhchadadavis: please run it, and make sure lightdm is selected for start (I am looking at a simlilar issue right now, trying to reproduce)15:40
chadadavisstgraber: Yeah, it's the one I mentioned 3.0.4-0ubuntu315:41
stgraberc65a42618211524083f16036026c0baf  oneiric-dvd-i386.iso15:41
stgraberchadadavis: can you check the md5sum of your iso image?15:42
stgraberthe one I just pasted is the one you should have15:42
chadadavisstgraber, different. I'll resync and get back to you if I find anything contradictory.15:43
stgraberok, so you very likely have 20110705.1 which indeed had gdm15:43
stgraber20110705.2 was supposed to fix that for both i386 and amd64 but for some reason the rebuild only did the trick for i386...15:43
stgraberstgraber@castiana:~/data/vm/iso$ wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/dvd/20110705.2/oneiric-dvd-amd64.manifest -O - -q | grep gdm15:44

stgraberstgraber@castiana:~/data/vm/iso$15:44
stgraberchadadavis: Edubuntu DVD is rebuilding now. New builds should be posted in < 2 hours15:45
chadadavisstgraber, thanks. Sorry for false alarm. I'm subscribed to those images now too.15:46
charlie-tcaI am re-zyncing my xubuntu images; they seem to have gotten respun after I synced this morning15:46
hggdh<sight/> lightdm sigsegv-ed :-(15:47

jibelcharlie-tca, can you reproduce it ?17:06
charlie-tcaeverytime17:06
charlie-tcaboth 32 and 64bit17:06
charlie-tcacan not start a live session no matter what I try17:06
jibelcharlie-tca, when you're on the console, does X starts if you don't touch anything and wait 2 minutes ?17:07
charlie-tcano17:07
charlie-tcait just sits at the black screen, forever17:07
* charlie-tca tried waiting up to 10 minutes17:07
jibel2 min is enough, I was thinking about bug 79113917:08

charlie-tcaYeah, but we have not been able to get a live session ever with lightdm17:09
charlie-tcaIt's been broken for a while17:09
davmor2jibel: on the ubuntu live install on VBox I get a whole heap of issues ziestgiest dies, USC crashes but doesn't close or stop functioning, no calendaring at all which is a huge regression I get the udev write permission warning so splash is seemingly non-existant, restart after install has press enter as white text on black instead of test on shutdown splash17:11
davmor2I can go on but I don't have time right now17:12
hggdhjibel: I was comparing output from both the old jenkins server and the new for the oneiric tests today and... they do *not* match17:16
jibelhggdh, could you check which image the old jenkins tested today ? I reran the jobs on the new jenkins because it was testing the wrong images17:17
hggdhjibel: checking now17:17
jibelhggdh, that's the bug where the checksum file is updated but images are not available, in this situation it tests the images available from the cache.17:18
charlie-tcatrying the i386 desktop image live session on hardware, black screen, no cursor,17:25
charlie-tcaaborting attempt17:29
chadadavisstgraber, edubuntu i386 and amd64 auto-start lightdm now, and gdm is gone.17:55
stgraberyeah!17:57
hggdhanyone can run virt-manager on Oneiric?18:10
njinsincing ubi & kubi 6418:19
jibelcharlie-tca, do you use specific hardware, graphics card ?18:25
jibelcharlie-tca, live session works fine here on intel hw18:26
charlie-tcaI have 2 386 desktop machines, 1 64bit laptop, and a bunch of VBox machines I use18:26
jibelcharlie-tca, and what is the setup of the system with the black screen ?18:27
charlie-tcaI can't get a desktop session on anything here, intel 845, ati, nvidia, and VBox18:27
charlie-tcaati express 200, vbox, and ATI Radeon 9800 w/128MB18:28
charlie-tcaall giving the same things18:28
jibelI don't have any problem on vbox.18:30
charlie-tcahere, take at look at june - http://www.google.com/url?q=http://2tu.us/3dmh&usd=2&usg=ALhdy2__BW8olO1HKH4HdYEcAVhIv6zxCw18:30
charlie-tcaWe haven't been able to get a live session between three of uis18:31
charlie-tcaand it hasn't changed18:31
charlie-tcahttp://2tu.us/3e70 might be better to try18:32
charlie-tcaI just ran it on my hardware; see above. It failed again18:32
charlie-tcaI have to count one in four as a failure18:34
njinhggdh, just installed testdrive but it crash, do you need something from this crash ?18:55
jibelnjin, probably bug 80598519:06

chadadavisShould we be skipping images not listed on the tracker, e.g. ubuntu-dvd (i386/amd64) ?20:10
charlie-tcachadadavis: if they are not on the tracker, they either need to be re-built or will not be published for the milestone20:13
chadadavisthanks, charlie-tca20:14
charlie-tcayw20:14
skaetcharlie-tca, chadadavis - I believe not having ubuntu-dvd on the tracker was an oversight.   I've gone ahead and added them,  since a set were built.20:17
charlie-tcaOh, yeah. I forgot that part, too.20:18
chadadavisskaet, I thought that was odd, thanks.20:18
skaetchadadavis, thanks for asking.  :)20:18
charlie-tcaSometimes it is just forgotten, so you should always ask here.20:18
* skaet nods20:18
charlie-tcaThen at least the right people know about it.20:18
chadadavisHow should I let the tracker know that I cannot test the amd64+mac images, because they're too large (mac doesn't boot USB)? Doesn't seem like a real bug report.20:19
charlie-tcaIt should be a "real" bug report, if it can not be installed because of the issue20:20
chadadavisOK, will do, thanks charlie-tca20:20
charlie-tcaDo other mac's have usb capability?20:21
charlie-tcajibel: 10 minutes of black screen on20:22
charlie-tcaHardware test; Intel Celeron 1.73GHz, 64bit; 1GB RAM; Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Video20:22
chadadavischarlie-tca, The new 8,x (from spring 2011, w sandy bridge) should be able to, but most of us dont' have those. I will ask around, though.20:22
charlie-tcabug report then. Images are useless to mac20:22
chadadavischarlie-tca, kubuntu-alternate fits, but the others don20:23
chadadavisdon't. I'm testing the DVDs on mac, because they boot, but hardware support will be less, hence my question about ubuntu-dvd20:24
chadadavispace_t_zulu_ I thought you had a mac 8,x series? Have you tried booting the oversized amd64+mac images via USB on it?20:29

pace_t_zulu_chadadavis: hi22:34
pace_t_zulu_chadadavis: haven't in a while22:34
=== pace_t_zulu_ is now known as pace_t_zulu
pace_t_zuluchadadavis: has anything changed since natty launch?22:34
chadadavispace_t_zulu, There is a new kernel. If I remember right, you could only boot the USB when the CD was also loaded. Would be interesting to check the new images via USB on the 8x series.22:38
pace_t_zuluchadadavis: it would be interesting ... i am quite busy at the moment - but when i have the chance i will check it out22:39
chadadavispace_t_zulu, no problem.22:45
