jhuntO'Rally last week. Spent most of last 4 days working on customer15:13
jhuntbug 802661. The immediate problem is fixable by a tweak to a single15:13
jhuntUpstart job, but the invesigations I've performed so far suggest15:13
jhuntwe've found the cause for a whole class of bugs (good news!) These15:13
jhuntare not Upstart issues but rather are arguably a limitation of the15:13
ubottuError: Launchpad bug 802661 could not be found15:13
jhuntway a generic Linux system currently handles loading kernel modules.15:13
jhuntEnded up writing a kernel module to test the customer fix. The bad15:13
jhuntnews is that there is no generic fix available right now - looks15:13
jhuntlike the full solution requires some modprobe changes (more work to15:13
jhuntdo there...) and possibly some new tooling to help users. Playing15:13
jhuntwith dh_installinit. Plan for tomorrow - Upstart coding!15:13
jhunt15:13
cjwatsonpython-profile/pstats> oh, about time15:13
barry\o/15:13
slangasekbarry: so python-oauth was still using pycentral on the CDs?  Do we know for sure that it's the last one now? (how was it missed before?)15:14
dokoI'll recheck the alpha2 images, including the kubuntu images15:14
barryslangasek: it wasn't actually missed, but accidentally moved to the 'completed' slot.  sync'ing from debian should resolve that one15:14
cjwatsonyeah, I was going to hold that sync until after alpha 215:15
barrybut i also was going to request doko re-run his script after we think we're done :)15:15
barrycjwatson: fair enough15:15
slangasekjhunt: "playing with dh_installinit" - fixing it to install both init scripts and upstart jobs? :)15:15

jhuntslangasek: I'm adding some extra checks.15:16
psurbhi*) rally last week.15:16
psurbhi*) submitted a merge proposal for an initctl equivalent code mountall.15:16
psurbhi*) working on the mkinitramfs script - working on the part "when something goes wrong". Rearranged mountall, udev, upstart-udev-bridge to have a execution flow as is in the current initramfs.  Seeing an error right now - "directory not empty - while deleting" - working on fixing that. Also again, not seeing the "stopped" for a job but stopping instead.15:16
psurbhi(done)15:16
cjwatson * holiday on Tuesday15:16
cjwatson * carrying on with IPv6 work; mostly finished with netcfg aside from a few tweaks, now blocked on ifupdown 0.7, working on DHCPv6 support there to try to move things forward15:16
cjwatson * improved netcfg BOOTIF code some more to allow preseeding netcfg/choose_interface, which lets kickseed use it15:17
* barry has to remember to poke zul again about python-image-store-proxy :)15:17
cjwatson * fixed kickseed parser to avoid backslash damage15:17
cjwatson * minor installer fixes for alpha 215:17

ev- Post-sprint stuff (expenses, survey)15:19
ev- PyGI/GTK3 porting work on Ubiquity - getting closer.  Started porting15:19
ev  segmented_bar and hit a double free down the stack, though Neil has just15:19
ev  given me some workaround suggestions.15:19
ev- Started a conversation with Amanda around geoip-selective installation of15:19
ev  codecs.15:19
ev- Chat with Pete on pulling some of the Ubuntu Light work into Wubi (bind15:19
ev  mounting Documents, Music, etc).15:19
ev- Integrated wubi ext3 image builds into live-build.  This mainly involved15:19
ev  tricking the lupin-support versions of the grub scripts to think they were15:19
ev  operating on a Wubi system.  Still need to finish up the cdimage15:19
ev  integration, but the rest works (building the image, generating the wubildr15:19
ev  bootloader)15:19
ev- Worked with Matthew to nail down the design for the wireless setup page of15:19
ev  ubiquity.  Hacked on that widget some more.  Just need to combine multiple15:19
ev  APs using the same SSID, adding secrets, and integrating it into the15:19
ev  ubiquity window.15:19
ev- Finally got around to the IronPython investigation work requested by15:19
ev  slangasek.  IronPython application and supporting libraries + CefSharp15:19
ev  bindings + Chromium Embedded Framework comes in at about 28 MB, though I'm15:19
ev  hoping lzma and shaving down icudt42.dll (unicode support) will save the day15:19
ev  there.  I have a running example15:19
jhuntbdmurray: watch out for my "morse code" report next week! :)15:19
ev  (http://people.canonical.com/~evand/tmp/ironpython-cefsharp.png) compiled15:19
ev  down to .NET bytecode and now I'm just trying to create a bundle out of the15:19
ev  resulting executable and supporting DLLs.  I'm thinking I'll use 7-zip's SFX15:19
ev  header with a custom configuration and a lzma archive.  I'll eventually hand15:19
ev  this off to The Team (design agency) as a test harness for the slideshow15:19
ev  work they're doing for us.15:19
ev- Had a two hour meeting with The Team on the slideshow redesign work. I'll15:19
ev  need to investigate the best way to have the WebKit view talk back to15:19
ev  ubiquity as we want to move the finished dialog into the slideshow, and this15:19
ev  means sending a reboot signal to ubiquity.15:19
ev- Reviewed Matthew's crash tracker design.15:19
ev- Had a meeting with Jono L to discuss the application developer program.15:19
ev- Fighting to keep my desk in Millbank. :-/15:19
evTODO:15:19
ev- Learn Cassandra and talk to James Troup about how to best structure the15:19
ev  installation success / failure data collection.15:19
ev- Build a serial controlled USB switch box using an Arduino board and the15:19
ev  innards of a manual switch box, in support of the new installer testing15:19
ev  harness design.  Finally get around to expensing ITX hardware with Pete.15:19
ev(done)15:19
jhuntev: this switch box - is that to cut the mains power?15:20
evjhunt: it's to have the test master image a USB drive with the image to test, then have it switch the USB drive over to the slave15:20
evthe idea being that no normal person does installs using PXE + NFS15:21
evand we should test the USB path, as that's probably most common15:21
jhuntev: ok.15:21
jhuntev: :)15:21
evI had crazy ideas around using USB OTG, but they were crazy15:21
evthis is simple(-r)15:21
mvoev: lots to read. interessting stuff around the arduino, I love playing with those15:22
slangasekev: how soon will you know if lzma will save the day?  We are effectively blocked from moving forward on getting a contractor if we don't know what we expect to contract him to work in15:22
slangasekev: where are they putting your desk if not in Millbank?15:22
evI need to remember how to use a soldering iron without starting a fire or setting off the alarms.15:22
evslangasek: I hope to have rough numbers on the IronPython approach by tomorrow's end15:23
slangaseksoldering> oh, is that why they want you out of the office ;)15:23
evslangasek: they want to move me to a hot desk / force me to work from home15:23
highvoltageev: it's like riding a bike :)15:23
evwhich is not easy when I have two laptops, a monitor, and a netbook15:24
slangasekheh15:24
mvoand a soldering iron15:24
evbut I'm not considered valuable because apparently we only need to talk to our own teams, not designers or anything15:24

jibelYes I do.17:23
jibelthere plan is to review the list and eliminate what is not test case17:24
hggdhthis is on the list of bugs bdmurray collected, correct?17:24
jibelthen for what is really a test case, identify what is useful to be automated17:25
jibelhggdh, yes17:25
jibelthere is something like 1500 test cases we can use to expand the regression testsuite17:25
hggdhcan you post the link to the list?17:25
jibelbut before that there is a huge work of manual reviewing.17:26
bdmurrayits a restricted url right now17:26
