charlie-tcaNo new desktop images today14:46
davmor2charlie-tca: did you have any issues on hw with ubiquity dying on the last continue click?14:49
charlie-tcaI haven't had any, no14:50
charlie-tcaXubuntu doesn't ever tell you to hit Enter to continue on hardware, either. 14:51
charlie-tcaI ran 4 tests on hardware yesterday, with no problems14:51
charlie-tcadavmor2: Do you need something verified?15:02
davmor2charlie-tca: No on ubuntu 64bit it keeps hanging on me when I click on the continue button on Who are you15:03
charlie-tcaweird15:03
charlie-tcaMine went right through 15:03
charlie-tcaCould it be the partitioning method causing it?15:03
davmor2I'm using standard use entire drive15:05
charlie-tcaI will burn the image and try it15:05
charlie-tcadavmor2: clicked on both download updates and 3rd party software, clicked Continue, kernel oops15:16
charlie-tcaTrying again15:16
davmor2charlie-tca: that's sounding about as reliable as my experience :)15:17
charlie-tcaheh, at least you are not alone :)15:17
charlie-tcagreat! it's reproducable, too15:24
charlie-tcaOkay, try this without those boxes checked now15:25
charlie-tcadavmor2: seeing those kernel oops by checking the boxes, I think the image has serious issues. However, not checking is letting me continue.15:36
charlie-tcaGot to the "Who are you?" screen this time. Let's see what happens15:36
davmor2yeah I had those checked so I wonder if it was oppsing but continuing at the same time 15:37
charlie-tcaclicked continue at the last screen and it is working. I got the slideshow now.15:37
charlie-tcaIt is one of those boxes15:38
davmor2thatnks charlie-tca I'll update my bug and pass the info onto ev15:38
charlie-tcaI am betting on the 3rd party software15:38
charlie-tcaLet me know if I need to pull those kernel oops logs15:38
charlie-tcaWho is the release manager for Xubuntu for this cycle?16:36
charlie-tcaNormally, the release manager and the project lead are the same person16:36
charlie-tcaIf I am going to called in the release meetings, I will need to know what is going on16:58
knomecharlie-tca, everything is in the meeting minutes17:06
knomecharlie-tca, madnick should handle the release meetings, but it seems he's been rather busy lately17:06
knomeas am i17:06
charlie-tcaIs madnick the release manager then?17:06
knomethat depends what that means17:07
charlie-tcaThat means the person with the authority and responsibility for the release cycle. They can make the decisions needed, and they attend the meetings, and they try to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Development/ReleaseProcess17:09
charlie-tcaThey keep track of what is happening throughout the release cycle, write release notes, keep the team updated, etc17:10
knomei am, but since i'm not a technical person, i haven't attended the release meetings, but asked for madnick to do that17:11
charlie-tcaGreat. Then I can have my name removed from the "must attend" list17:11
knomei'm worried about that though, since as i said, madnick's been busy lately, and afaik, haven't attended17:12
knomei try to send the email every week to the release ML, but sometimes i fail because i need to work on other things, or purely just forget17:12
charlie-tcaIf he can't attend, and you are the decision maker, you should be attending17:12
knomei understand that.17:13
knomeunfortunately things aren't so black&white17:13
knomewhat if i didn't get a message from him saying he can't attend?17:13
knomewhat if i can't attend myself?17:13
charlie-tcaSure they are. As Project Lead, you have full and total responsibility for the release.17:13
knomebut before that, i have full and total responsibility of making a living.17:14
knomethere hasn't been problems so far17:14
knomei've also been in contact with skaet, so if there is problems i hope to hear from them17:15
madnickhi, im back, acctually, i was quite sure I could attend today, but I got stuck in a meeting regarding my business plan that I had to dicuss before the weekend17:16
knomegenerally speaking i don't think any single person should take too much to carry, and the optimal situation is a situation where things are distributed amongst several people17:17
knomethat also makes it easier to replace people, even if one dropped out in the midst of a release cycle17:17
knomethis doesn't mean that i'm not willing to take full responsibility for xubuntu17:17
knomeit just means i don't think ANYONE should do more than they can, and also that i understand that other people have other life than xubuntu too, and so have i17:18
knomemadnick, no problem really. how does your fridays in the future look?17:18
madnickI think I should be able to attend, since the meeting is outside of normal business hours anyways for me17:20
knomeyeah.17:20
madnickIts just that, this startup process is quite intense over the past few weeks17:20
knomei understand17:20
knomedon't worry too much17:20
knomeare you also able to send the mail to the release ML every thursday in the following weeks?17:21
knomecontent should be fully covered in the last team meeting minutes, unless it's some time from it17:21
madnickWell, if we have meetings it shouldnt be a problem, its just about getting the information17:21
knomeyeah, i agree17:22
charlie-tcaWell, let me know if you are doing the alpha2 release, so I know if I need to test it, okay?17:22
knomecharlie-tca, i will inform, and we most probably will if that's done before too17:22
knomecharlie-tca, at some point, we also need your input on accessibility for the new lightdm theme17:23
knomemadnick, are there your work items in the LP blueprints that could be considered "DONE" ?17:24
knomeyou have a lot of INPROGRESS but i remember you saying most of them are basically done already, but only need feedback or sth17:24
madnickperhaps, the thing is, while my things (plymouth excluded) are mostly done, i need a lot of feedback17:24
ochosiwould be good to ask for that @meetings17:25
madnickyes17:25
knomecould you gather an email or a wikipage of what kind of feedback you need?17:25
ochosi(although even during normal days it's ok)17:25
madnickyes i could17:25
knomethat would be awesome17:25
knomesorry for the jono reference :P17:25
knomeanyway, i could try to send you some feedback ASAP so we can get on with things17:25
