much13Just grabbed the alpha. How can I tell if I'm using Unity 2D? And where can I toggle it on the login screen?03:27
munch13Is it a known issue that Software Center's crashing?04:52

mvojibel:  good morning! the upgrade-tester looks really unhappy this monring, it appears that it can not find the rootfs anymore after the upgrade, the UUID is still in grub though. I have not debugged this further yet, so far I saw it on server-lts, I run a local server upgrade now to see if its showing the same09:49
jibelmvo, I re-ran ubuntu, kubuntu and edubunt which failed and they passed09:51
mvojibel: oh, interessting. maybe its fixed already then09:51
jibelmvo, I tried to run 2 tests in parallel on each server maybe that's it09:52
mvocould be, but if I would love to figure out why it happens, it should be possible to run them in parallel09:54
jibelmvo, for server-lts there is really a problem, it doesn't reconnect to the vm after the test09:54
mvojibel: right, I think that is what I was seening09:54
jibelmvo, I re-ran them to make sure they were not broken but I'll do further testing today. I'd love to use more power out of these machines09:55
mvoyeah, me too09:55
mvokeep me updated please :)09:55
jibelmvo, sure :)09:57
jibelmvo, the problem when 2 upgrade tests starts simultaneously is that they get the same vnc and ssh port11:06
jibelmvo, we could either introduce a random waiting period at the start of the test, or use some kind of lock mechanism11:07
brendandmvo - hi11:08
mvojibel: oh, ok. that makes sense, I will ponder about it a bit11:10
mvobrendand: hi11:10
brendandmvo - i've been trying the test deb files in gdebi, it seems most of them are designed to test error scenarios. are there any in there that install cleanly?11:11
mvobrendand: I don't think there is, that would be really useful test indeed, this may work with something like fakechroot as a user even11:15
jibelmvo, k, for the moment I decreased the number of executors to 1 per host.11:18
=== _salem is now known as salem_
brendandmvo - the fakechroot is for installing the test packages without spoiling the environment, right?11:20
mvobrendand: yeah, fakeroot and fakechroot are probably usful for a test like this11:24
* brendand thinks DebFileApplication is becoming hard to test :)11:25
brendandmvo - ok, that's a good tip. thanks11:28

salem_cr3, hi, just pushed the initial qt4 frontend code to lp:~tiagosh/checkbox/qt415:30
roadmrsalem_: \o/ thanks!! I'll have a look15:34
salem_roadmr, ah, there you are, I was trying to remember you nickname :)15:35
roadmrsalem_: heh yes!15:35
munch13I swear, cheese has worked before on my webcam. Anyone else having libv4l issues in Precise?15:35
salem_roadmr, it only implements the basic, and probably the ui is not equals the gtk one, but soon I will implement the rest.15:36
munch13nm, think i found the bug report15:37
stgrabermunch13: what's the bugnumber? I was looking for it yesterday but couldn't find it (I know I saw it in my bugmail a few days ago :))15:39
munch13stgraber: possibly 359045, but it looks kind of old15:41
stgraberyeah, I'd have expected something >890000 :)15:42
roadmrsalem_: I sent you a merge request with a couple of tiny changes to that branch15:52
roadmrsalem_: it's looking great so far!15:52
salem_roadmr, sorry, I was out for lunch16:00
salem_roadmr, cool.. I thought I had included __init__.py16:00
roadmrsalem_: I didn't see it, but it's easy to add, it may even be faster for you to do the changes manually than merge my branch :)16:01
salem_roadmr, ah, got it, it is an empty file, so in my diff it was not included.. my bad.16:01
roadmrsalem_: yes, argh, I don't know if it can contain anything, because empty files confuse the hell out of diff16:02
roadmrsalem_: that's also probably what happened with the file mode 755, diff also doesn't handle those very well16:02
salem_hehe, no problem.. I can add it16:02
charlie-tcajibel: thanks for marking the bug a dup. Am running the same install on hardware and can not reproduce17:10
jibelcharlie-tca, thanks for reporting it :) this bug is really ugly, it seems to happen essentially on i386 VMs running on amd64 hosts and it is not always reproducible.17:12
charlie-tcawhat a great opportunity for someone to excel, then!17:12
rickspencer3charlie-tca, we're working on it, it's not an easy one, that's for sure17:14
charlie-tcaAt least we can still use hardware installations.17:15
charlie-tcaAny other information I can try to get if I can reproduce it, even in VBox?17:16
=== nagappan_ is now known as nagappan
jibelcharlie-tca, no that's fine. We have isolated the code triggering the bug and been able to reproduce it in a controlled environment. now that's up to the kernel team to track that guy.17:27
charlie-tcajibel: thanks.17:28
jibelcharlie-tca, yw17:28
salem_roadmr, ping, still there?18:20

roadmrsalem_: here, was out having lunch but I'm back, how can I help?19:02
salem_roadmr, I have some questions regarding checkbox behavior. Everytime I run, it starts gathering some system information and then reboots the whole system, is this expected?19:05
roadmrsalem_: yes :)19:05
roadmrsalem_: let me explain :)19:05
salem_roadmr, hehe ok19:05
roadmrsalem_: if running from source, it will not use a whitelist unless you specify one explicitly19:05
roadmr(whitelist = a list of the jobs I actually want to run)19:06
roadmrsalem_: so without a whitelist, it will simply get all the jobs defined in the jobs/ directory, eventually hitting the "bootchart" job which requires rebooting the system to collect bootchart data - this is why it behaves like that19:06
roadmrsalem_: in order to run with the default whitelist as used when the package is installed, run bin/checkbox-qt -W data/whitelists/default.whitelist19:07
roadmrsalem_: when the package is installed, a script is created that automatically does this, that's why you don't see this if you run the installed checkbox-gtk for instance19:07
salem_roadmr, ahh, now it makes sense :)19:07
roadmrsalem_: yep, there's one more thing that affects behavior here19:08
roadmrsalem_: notice how checkbox-gtk first gathers some system information, then shows a tree list of tests for you to select19:08
roadmrsalem_: checkbox-qt doesn't have that yet, and so after the gathering phase it goes straight into running all the jobs in the whitelist19:09
roadmrsalem_: for the selection list to work, I think the show_tree method has to be implemented in the user interface19:09
salem_roadmr, yes, I am on my way to add it, but need to figure out a way to do it yet19:10
roadmrsalem_: ok, that's probably one of the more involved methods to implement19:10
salem_roadmr, ok, cool! thanks for the explanation.19:12
roadmrsalem_: no problem, I'm here to help :)19:13
