=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Bugs
bdmurraystgraber and I were talking about bug 942539 and removing the version from the icon16:27
ubottuLaunchpad bug 942539 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity desktop icon text looks messy" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94253916:27
bdmurraywe weren't sure if there was a design reason for having it16:27
bdmurraycjwatson, ev?16:28
stgraberthe change would probably be done in casper to avoid messing with the translations (doing s/RELEASE// in the adduser script)16:28
cjwatsonIIRC it was there so that we could refer to it on CD sleeves, and because we couldn't guarantee people would understand the icon16:28
cjwatsonbut couldn't nautilus be fixed to wrap this correctly16:29
cjwatson?16:29
cjwatsonoh, wait, you said the version, not the whole text, I misunderstood16:29
bdmurrayright, so having it say just "Install Ubuntu"16:29
cjwatsonit was "Install Ubuntu" at one point actually, so let me see if I can dig through archives16:29
cjwatsonIIRC higher-ups told me to change it16:29
slangasekin the example it's splitting "12.04" in the middle16:30
slangasekwhich seems to be a nautilus bug16:30
* stgraber is happy to re-assign to desktop for a nautilus fix :)16:30
cjwatsonhmm, looks like it was changed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/15450616:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 154506 in One Hundred Paper Cuts "Ubuntu LiveCD "Install" icon confusing" [Low,Fix released]16:30
cjwatsonbut I definitely think the wrapping is a nautilus bug16:31
cjwatsonor something in that stack16:31
stgraberI don't think there's any good reason for that weird wrapping, having nautilus render it as "Install Ubuntu\n12.04 LTS" would be fine16:32
cjwatsonmight even be gtk/pango16:32
stgraberso move the bug to desktop and if they can't get it fixed for 12.04, then drop the version number for final?16:32
=== jalcine is now known as JackyAlcine_
jodhAre we allowed to say "Install Ubuntu Precise"? Seems that it considers the period a sentence end so is wrapping it there.16:33
bdmurrayjodh: I don't think so and that would likely cause some confusion16:34
cjwatson"Ubuntu Precise" isn't a proper way to refer to the final release16:34
bdmurrayso assign to the desktop team then?16:35
jodhI wonder if you could "fool" the wrapping code then by using a UTF-8 'middle-dot' ('·' (0x00B7)) rather than a basic ASCII one?16:36
cjwatsonbdmurray: yeah16:36
slangasekand reassign the bug to nautilus, yes16:36
cjwatsonthere might be a way to fix it with pango attributes16:36
slangaseksplitting on a dot without whitespace after it is obviously wrong16:36
bdmurrayokay, then bug 947236 - that won't be done this release will it?16:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 947236 in base-files (Ubuntu Q-series) "Please provide /etc/os-release" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94723616:36
cjwatsonbut it likely won't be accessible from a desktop file so it will have to be fixed in the desktop stack anyway16:36
cjwatsonI don't know that I object to doing os-release for P; it's not intrusive16:37
ogra_pango has a "nowrap" mode iirc16:37
jodhfwiw the middle-dot trick works ;)16:38
bdmurrayokay, then assign it to the team?16:38
cjwatsonyeah16:39

bdmurraywhen I was looking at apt proxy bugs I found bug 2406116:40

bdmurrayits in progress but not assigned16:40
cjwatsonI'm not sure why that's in progress; for updated status you probably need to talk with mvo and/or DonKult16:41
evbdmurray: apols for the delay. That was a bug fix for a papercut. I'll try to find it.16:42
bdmurrayev: colin found it16:42
evcool16:42
bdmurraythen slangasek and I were looking at bug 484499 yesterday16:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 484499 in grub2 (Ubuntu Lucid) "[MASTER] syntax errors in /etc/default/grub break upgrades" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48449916:43
bdmurrayIs there anything actionable there?16:43
ogra_have something like visudo ?16:43
cjwatsonthe only thing we could do would be to have a debconf check for validity16:44
ogra_but thats rather a task for UDS discussion16:44
cjwatsonI strongly suspect that people would continue to file bugs anyway after breaking their configuration files16:44
cjwatsonparticularly because there are circumstances in which a debconf prompt won't show up16:44
cjwatson(noninteractive upgrades)16:44
ogra_it causes a lot of noise though16:44
cjwatsonit does, but we can't prevent it completely16:44
ogra_every bit we can cut from that would help16:44
cjwatsonI'm not even convinced we can prevent it mostly16:45
cjwatsonvisudo - mm, except that all the forums/blog/etc. advice people are following recommends editing the file directly16:45
slangasekmy initial suggestion to bdmurray had been to close that as non-actionable16:46
cjwatsonand people will get equivalently confused if they're prevented16:46
ogra_sure, it will have a transition time16:46
slangasekhe countered that we could at least put a warning comment in the file16:46
* doko is leaving now for the Python language summit16:46
ogra_but people also edit sudo without visudo ... still there is the header in the file16:46
cjwatsonpeople observably don't read any commentary in grub configuration files16:46
cjwatsonI don't think it's truly actionable, but if we close it, it will just get reopened16:46
cjwatsonor new dups opened16:46
ogra_s/sudo/sudoers/16:46
slangasekbut in general, I don't think we should consider it in scope for us to prevent users from breaking package upgrades by breaking config files16:47
cjwatson(also, I don't want to change that file unnecessarily because it leads to conffile merge prompts)16:47
slangasekbdmurray: should we leave the bug open then, but exclude it somehow with a tag?16:47
bdmurrayslangasek: exclude it from the bug heat graph? sure16:47
cjwatsonI'm not being wilfully obstructive here btw, I've just thought about this in the past and concluded that there isn't really much useful I can do ...16:48
slangasekbdmurray: and from any other graphs / reports we're using to track bugs of importance16:48
bdmurrayaren't a lot of duplicates of it automatically reported?  we could so something there at least16:48
slangasekcjwatson: right, users following bad advice they get on the Internet and breaking their /etc/default/grub is a social problem, not a technical one16:49
bdmurrays/so/do/16:49
cjwatsonif there's some way to automatically guide people through fixing it, that would be good16:49
ogra_doesnt it need an update-grub run ?16:50
ogra_after you edited ?16:50
cjwatsonyes16:50
ogra_so that could have a check16:50
cjwatsonit does16:50
cjwatsonit fails16:50
ogra_aww, ok16:50
cjwatsonI'm not prepared to let the package install anyway under those circumstances, though16:50
cjwatsonthat's just asking for trouble later16:50
* slangasek nods16:50
cjwatson(the bad advice is often unintentional, BTW - unicode quotes and the like - but it's bad advice nonetheless)16:51
bdmurraythat's all I have16:51
slangasekcjwatson: realistically, what's the next step with this bug?  If it's just going to sit open until someone gets around to writing "some way to automatically guide people through fixing it", that's the same as doing nothing16:52
slangasekwell, let's take that off-line I think :)16:54
ogra_how about having it automatically included in /var/backups ... ?16:54
slangasek[TOPIC] AOB16:54
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: AOB
cjwatsonthat's the only plausible next step that I can think of, so I guess if you think that bdmurray or I or somebody should be actioned to fix it ...16:54
ogra_so you can at least easily roll back16:54
slangasekanything else people want to talk about today?16:54
slangasekcjwatson: I think it's going to be a lot of work to produce something (either wiki page or program) that gets people out of the mess in a semi-automated fashion, and I don't think that's a priority right now, no16:56

slangasekthanks guys :)16:56
ogra_thanks slangasek16:57
slangasekcjwatson: what kind of thing?16:57
cjwatsonbugpatterns combined with a "help me to fix this" wizard16:57

balloonsmoving right along..  I trust everyone saw the precise beta1 iso testing report by jibel17:09
balloonsbeta1 got released, had some confusion about when it was released.. last minute respins on the iso17:10
balloonsthanks to all who helped test! in addition, I put out a call for manual testing using checkbox17:10
balloonsmany thanks to the checkbox team for helping me get thru the last minute kinks and helping me keep my sanity in getting that out17:11
balloonsas of yesterday we had 20 folks who had run thru all the tests17:11
balloonsand several bugs opened.. one of which has already been fixed :-017:11
balloonsMy plans for beta2 include expanding the test coverage, and migrating to checkbox-qt, as well as getting it on the cd, so a ppa is not needed and it's right there in your face when you install the iso :-)17:12
balloonsI'd love to hear feedback from anyone that tested about there experience17:12

balloonsphillw, care to give an update for us?17:13
phillwG3 ppc - alternate, installs with a hack, G3 desktop more problematical, ubiquity bug raised for the kernel being installed into the wrong directory on Intel-Mac, re-writing of theme not yet complete (affects all lubuntu)17:13
phillwthey're getting the hang of using the iso-tracker now :)17:14
balloonsheh.. i'll bet17:15
phillwthe mini-iso install system seems also to be okay.17:15
phillwthat's all from me.17:16
balloonsthanks phillw17:16
balloonshow about kubuntu?17:17
ScottKKubuntu Beta 1 went fine.17:17
ScottKWe're uploading KDE 4.8.1 today.17:17
ScottKWe did manage at the 11th hour to get kubuntu-active images.17:17
ScottKSo it's all ~good.17:17
balloonsScottK, ohh,, cool.. nice to see the kubuntu-active images got rolled out17:18
ScottKThey are still very rough, but we'll have a nice tech preview by release I think.17:18
balloonsyes.. very cool17:18
balloonsalright, that it ScottK ?17:20
ScottKYep17:20
balloonskk.. How's about xubuntu?17:20
balloonsbtw, KDE gonna be 5.0 sooner than we think.. crazy to think about ;-)17:20
balloonsno one from xubuntu about?17:21
balloonshow about edubuntu?17:21
balloonsgoing once, twice.. :-) alrighty, how's about ubuntu studio/17:22

balloonsfirst of all, thanks phillw for updating the agenda and getting the meetings posted.. I slipped up and didn't get the logs online.. It was a crazy week17:24
balloonsSo, I see your agenda item; phillw Request Chair posts the logs up, else delegates.17:25
balloonsanything else to add phillw.. I will make sure to delegate in the future in case I am unable to post17:25
balloonsAlrighty, so the last piece I see is17:26
balloonsManual TestCase Review Updates17:27
balloonsI will say a big thanks again to roginac who had many merge proposals go into the branch, as well as AlanBell and some others whom I may be forgetting.. and of course, all the folks who contributed manual tests during the rewrite, brendand , etc17:28
balloonsIf you review the logs for last week, we had discussions about where the "master" repo of testcases would be.. Not many folks were able to stay and chat for so long, but among those present we agreed upon declaring the checkbox branch as the master list for the short term until we have a replacement, such as case conductor17:29
balloonsthis makes it potentially a bit harder to contribute tests, but tests can be contributed by simply sending an email to the mailing list if your not able to use launchpad to create a merge proposal17:31
balloonsThat's all I have.. Questions/Comments?17:31
balloonsalright, if no one has anything else, we'll call this a wrap.. Thanks for coming everyone.. Next week we should return to our normal capacity with the other QA team members being back online :-)17:33

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Engineering Team Bug Status
bdmurrayThis week I made some new charts that compare the hottest bugs about packages that a team is subscribed to with each other18:04
bdmurrayFor example: http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/foundations-bugs/foundations-bugs-packages-hottest-bugs.html18:04
bdmurraybug heat is used to determine the position of each bug on the chart18:04
mfischbdmurray: if those bugs get any hotter, you'll need vertical bars to separate the packages18:05
bdmurrayyes, well the goal is to get the hot ones off though18:06
bdmurrayso hopefully vertical bars won't be needed ;-)18:06

MrChrisDruifYes, much to report20:33
MrChrisDruifFirst major one is that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp has all it sub-pages moved and redirected to [help]20:34
MrChrisDruifI'd like to request to send an email to the lubuntu-users mailing-list to check if I've got all the pages (more eyes can spot things one pair can't)20:35
MrChrisDruifWith a 5 day period to report mishaps20:35
MrChrisDruifAfter that I'd like to redirect https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp to [help] as well20:36
MrChrisDruif#link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp20:36
gilirMrChrisDruif, looks like a good plan :)20:37
MrChrisDruifSecondly I've updated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels with more useful commands and even an automated command to remove all unused kernels20:37
MrChrisDruif#link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels20:38
MrChrisDruifI've put a major warning in there that it removes ALL kernels except the current one20:38
MrChrisDruifAnd I've also updated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall with references to the packages pages to let users know what they are getting with the different packages20:39
MrChrisDruif#link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall20:39
gilirMrChrisDruif, do you test this automatic command on your own system ? :)20:39
MrChrisDruifgilir; Yes20:40
MrChrisDruifIt worked without a flaw20:40
gilirok, with the warning, it should be ok20:40
MrChrisDruifI could explain how the command worked, but would need some time to rework it20:40
michaelrawsono/20:40
MrChrisDruifI got it from some site, webupd8 I believe20:40
MrChrisDruifmichaelrawson?20:41
YorvykI don't like the idea of leaving only one kernel20:41
michaelrawsonthat applies to all *buntu, surely? Better as a global page?20:41
YorvykI think the warnings need to be stronger with a suggestion that two kernels is safer.20:42
MrChrisDruifYorvyk; It is properly mentioned on the page that it removes all but the current and should only be used by experienced users that know what they are doing20:42
gilirYorvyk, as long as the one you keep is tested, and work fine, I don't see it as a problem20:42
MrChrisDruifmichaelrawson; agreed, but currently there isn't a page for that on the wiki20:42
jalcineHmm. What happens if a user needs an older kernel in order to install drivers?20:42
jalcineOr some sort of unprecedented regression issue occurs?20:42
michaelrawsonMrChrisDruif-okay by me.20:43
phillwMrChrisDruif: we can look to move it to main help-wiki area.20:43
MrChrisDruifjalcine; again, it's properly mentioned on the page that it should only be used by users knowing what they are doing20:43
MrChrisDruifAnd installing older kernels can still be done with synaptic afaik20:44
MrChrisDruifphillw; that would be nice, but I think it needs some work before it can be moved20:44
jalcineAlrighty, then I'm for it.20:44
jalcineWell, I'm talking before loading of said kernel, like at post-Grub.20:44
gilirthanks MrChrisDruif, anything to add ?20:45
michaelrawson+1 from me, but I really think someone should at least understand what that code does. Otherwise something could unexpectedly break...20:46
MrChrisDruifjalcine; if you check that page, it'll reference to a page for people who've even removed ALL kernels with the manual way20:46
MrChrisDruifThis automatic command is safer if you ask me20:46
jalcineHmm. okay.20:46
phillw+1 I wrote that page when someone did that!20:46
YorvykI'm not against it in principal,  people just don't take warnings as seriously as they should.20:47
MrChrisDruifmichaelrawson; If you want, I can reverse engineer the code to prove that it is a solid command20:47
michaelrawsonNot my decision-but it might be a good idea IMO.20:47
YorvykApt should do this anyway.20:47
michaelrawsonI appreciate that it works-I just ran it, but it's kinda fiddly to debug.20:47
MrChrisDruif#action MrChrisDruif Reverse engineer the command for automatic old kernel removal20:48
meetingologyACTION: MrChrisDruif Reverse engineer the command for automatic old kernel removal20:48
MrChrisDruifNothing else to add from me  gilir =)20:48
MrChrisDruifQuestions?20:49
gilirMrChrisDruif, I think Yorvyk is right, an apt command may do it without the need of a sed + dpkg20:49
gilirany kernel no necessary is marked as obsolet in synatic20:49
michaelrawsondoesn't autoremove do it?20:50
gilirso it should be possible to remove them with apt20:50
MrChrisDruifI got the command from webupd8 if I remember correct, if anyone has a command with apt with the same function20:50
phillwmichaelrawson: no, autoremove is not trusted with kernels :)20:50
MrChrisDruifmichaelrawson; linux-image is blocked from autoremove20:50
gilirmichaelrawson, probably, but you need to only autoremove the kernel, not sure it's possible in a 1-line command20:50
michaelrawsonahah, fair enough. I stand corrected. :)20:50
YorvykAuto remove only works with the header files.20:51
