GrueMasterI can move the usbboot wi to A3.  Won't get more done until next week.15:04
ogra_rsalveti, are you here ? seems there is an A2 item on the workitem tracker for you15:05
GrueMasternetinstall testcase documentation will be added today or tomorrow.15:05
rsalvetiogra_: yup, for kernel I believe, let me check15:05
ogra_can you move, drop, close it (whatever is appropriate)15:05
rsalvetisure, will move it for now15:06

ogra_[topic] arm server status (NCommander, Daviey )15:07
MootBotNew Topic:  arm server status (NCommander, Daviey )15:07
ogra_hmm, i guess both are on vacation15:07
ogra_we have server images thanks to tireless testing work from GrueMaster, a d-i upload from infinity to fix netboot and apw for a linux-omap4 upload !15:08
ogra_\o/15:08
ogra_that was awesome (cross)team work !15:08
ogra_sadly it didnt fix desktop or omap315:09
ogra_anything else for server to add ?15:09
infinityNope.15:09
ppisatiogra_: did we miss the usb fix patch for omap3?15:09
ogra_ppisati, nope, but it segfaults on boot15:09
ppisatiogra_: DOH!15:10
ogra_patch seems to be in15:10
GrueMasterppisati: Not sure.  It has other more serious issues.15:10
ppisatiGrueMaster: ah, you mean the oneiric kernel? ok15:10
ogra_[topic] kernel status ppisati, cooloney)15:10
MootBotNew Topic:  kernel status ppisati, cooloney)15:10
ppisatiKernel development: usual CVE fixes across different branches.15:10
ppisatiOneiric/ti-omap4: we reached an agreement with agreen/linaro to get the TI BSP on top of a vanilla kernel, as a result a new oneiric/master-next-based kernel is in the work - see git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ppisati/ubuntu-oneiric.git ti-omap4-next. Still a WIP, kernel panics on boot ATM, do not use.15:10
GrueMasterppisati: See bug 80611315:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 806113 in linux (Ubuntu) "Series of segfaults early in the kernel boot process on omap." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/80611315:10
ogra_ppisati, yes, oneiric omap15:10
ppisatiok, i'll assign it to me15:10
ogra_(not omap4)15:10
ppisatifor tegra: ask to orga&c :)15:11
ogra_heh15:11
ogra_well, i plan to move to .38 soon15:11
ogra_with the a100 package15:11
ogra_once i got that it will also go to oneiric15:11
ppisatiogra_: btw, i tested the ac100, and it seems the wireless tends to loose pkts15:11
ppisatidid you notice it too?15:11
ogra_some people do15:12
ogra_seems hw specific15:12
ppisatik15:12
ogra_i have one device with crappy wlan and one where it is rock solid15:12

ogra_moving on then15:13
GrueMasterppisati: Can you look at bug 779410 for possible race condition in the kernel?15:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 779410 in flash-kernel (Ubuntu) "package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77941015:13
ogra_[topic] arm porting/ ftbfs status (NCommander, janimo)15:13
MootBotNew Topic:  arm porting/ ftbfs status (NCommander, janimo)15:13
ogra_GrueMaster, i doubt it is the kernel15:13
* ogra_ got pinged today that json-glib has a fix in debian15:14
ogra_thats holding up a lot other stuff, we need to get it synced15:14
infinityCan do.15:14
ogra_not sure how important the other stuff on the ftbfs list is15:15
ogra_(who uses emacs23 anyway)15:15
infinityOh, it was synched 10 minutes ago. :)15:15
ogra_apaort from that http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ looks pretty good for that state of the cycle15:15
* janimo is curious what the fix was, so goes take a look15:15
ogra_universe could need some love though15:16
GrueMasterThere is no love ein the universe?15:16
ogra_i wonder how we could get the community more active ... PPAs would be good :P15:17
ogra_GrueMaster, there is, but apparently not in the places i look at :/15:17
persiaNo, not PPAs: that just gets more stuff fixed *somewhere* that isn't useful.15:17
ogra_for testbuilds that helps a lot15:18
persiaThat's true, although it's sadly not used that way usually (from what I see)15:18
ogra_its a lot less effort to just enable a PPA than to set up a local virtualization env or some weird cross env15:18
ogra_well, thats a matter of communication i guess15:19
ogra_anyway ...15:19
ogra_anything else for ftbfs ?15:19
ogra_.15:19
ogra_..15:19
ogra_...15:19
ogra_moving on then :)15:19
ogra_[topic] arm image status (NCommander, ogra)15:19
MootBotNew Topic:  arm image status (NCommander, ogra)15:19
ogra_well, desktop seems badly broken15:20
infinityJust a tad.15:20
ogra_we get a non resize friendly filesystem since the switch to live-builder ... and jasper additionally has bugs15:20
GrueMasterI plan on building a desktop image from a server install today so that I can at least test the other bits.15:20
ogra_i'll look into jasper asap15:20
GrueMasterI'm not convinced that jasper has a big issue.15:21
GrueMasterSince server works on the same SD card.15:21
ogra_must not be big15:21
ogra_but apparently it has issues15:21
ogra_how long does the resize on desktop take ?15:21
ogra_server took 15min for me15:22
ogra_(class 4 card though)15:22
GrueMasterdesktop took 30 minutes.15:22
GrueMasterI think15:22
ogra_phew15:22
GrueMaster(I have multiple systems and don't watch that closely).15:22
ogra_well, high prio to fix that :)15:23
ogra_anything else about images ?15:23
ogra_.15:23
ogra_..15:23
ogra_...15:23
ogra_moving on15:23
GrueMasterI'm thinking there is a regression in the kernel.  I'll test with a maverick kernel later today or tomorrow.15:23
janimoGrueMaster, happens on all SD cards tried?15:23
ogra_(or not :) )15:24
janimoI wonder if any of my partitioning changes could affect resize15:24
GrueMasterI get mixed results.15:24
ogra_janimo, unlikely15:24
janimoexcept in the way intended of course15:24
GrueMasterLarger cards are more troublesome.15:24
ogra_janimo, it could possibly affect the repartitioning15:24
ogra_but the slowness is caused at filesystem creation15:24
ogra_the inode size is to small15:25
ogra_so resizing has to move way more then necessary15:25
ogra_we used to use 8k for that in livecd-rootfs15:26
ogra_anyway, we'll fix it :)15:26
ogra_moving on for real now15:26
ogra_[topic] Qa? (GrueMaster)15:27
MootBotNew Topic:  Qa? (GrueMaster)15:27
GrueMasterTesting this release has been very problematic (as noted earlier).15:27
ogra_yeah15:27
ogra_the date of the sprint week wasnt helping with that either15:28
GrueMasterI'm running into issues getting benchmarks going on btrfs.  Seems natty image doesn't care for conversion.15:28
ogra_well, just format an SD and copy a configured FS over15:28
GrueMastersystem fails to mount rootfs using that method.15:28
ogra_hmm, btrfs-tools installed ?15:29
GrueMasterI have tried several different things (including nuke & pave).15:29
ogra_it puts some bits into initrd15:29
GrueMasteryes15:29
ogra_weird15:29
ogra_then it should work15:29
GrueMasterIt is failing in initrd15:29
GrueMasterAt any rate, it was lower priority this week vs release testing.15:30
ogra_yeah, file a bug and one of us should look into it15:30
GrueMasternetboot install works for the most part.  Some tweeking needed for the sd boot image size (10M is way too small).15:30
ogra_ac100 lives with 8M :P15:31
GrueMasterEasily worked around though, and the rest of the install works fine.15:31
ogra_our initrds are way to large nowadays imho15:31
GrueMasterac100 doesn't have x-loader & u-boot in the boot partition.15:31
ogra_but hey, who wouldnt want the intel drm drivers :)15:31
GrueMasterNeed to be ~30M I would think.15:31
ogra_or nouveau ...15:31
persiaThose need to be there with the current model.15:32
GrueMasterThey have nothing to do with boot partition size.15:32
persiaThe way that libdrm works, it needs to have *all* implementations available.15:32
=== Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-lunch
ogra_MLO and u-boot are 250k together15:32
GrueMasterAt any rate, I tested both SD & usbboot methods for netinstall on to sata USB drives.15:33
GrueMasterogra_: The problem is the filesystem runs out of space for whatever reason at 10M.15:33
ogra_yeah15:33
GrueMasterSo make it bigger.15:33
ogra_sure15:33
ogra_i'm just ranting ... :)15:34
GrueMasterServer install works cleanly, which iis odd given the issues with desktop.15:34
ogra_having 5M initrds is to big too :)15:34
ogra_yeah, jasper should do exactly the same on both15:35
GrueMasterIn between testing, I have been struggling to get jenkins running.  I am able to get it to remotely log into the pandas and start a slave instance.  Now to get it to do something usefull.15:35
ogra_modulo the PPA stuff15:35
GrueMasterNot much else to report here.15:36
ogra_awesome progress !15:36
