[12:06] <gary_poster> buildbot-slave is working once you change the sources to the standard precise ones (from the ec2 ones) and update/upgrade so you get a newer lxc than 45, but buildbot-master fails because of a syntax error in lpbuildbot that Brad and I missed ("descriptionDone['cleaned','previous','lxc','containers']))" should be "descriptionDone=['cleaned','previous','lxc','containers']))".  Fixing and then continuing to see how we are doi

[12:08] <gary_poster> bac benji gmb call in 2 https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_/extras/canonical.com/goldenhorde
[12:11] <gary_poster> bac benji yoo hoo
[12:28] <gary_poster> gmb, confirmed that I just approved next Mon & Tues
[12:28] <gmb> gary_poster: Thankyou kindly.
[12:29] <gary_poster> of course
[12:29] <gary_poster> notifications work a lot better on one screen.  sound would be nice too though; I wonder why XChat stopped doing what I had configured...I'll look
[12:39] <gary_poster> well, sound is working again...who knows for how long
[12:49] <bac> gary_poster: i've got a potential mentor for frankban but he doesn't want to start until after the 12.04 release...which is not that far off
[12:50] <gary_poster> bac, great! fine with me.  If we have someone coming along sooner, great, but as you say, the release is not far off
[12:51] <bac> yep.  it is raphael and i think he'd be great
[13:02] <gary_poster> oh, agree, cool
[13:18] <gary_poster> juju expose didn't work on master.  had to do it manually.  Mildly concerning.
[14:20] <bac> gary_poster: thanks for the details of your setup
[14:20] <gary_poster> bac, welcome
[14:26] <gary_poster> benji, bac, gmb, TESTS PASSED, GREEN BUILDBOT! *\o/* http://ec2-50-16-120-159.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8010/waterfall
[14:27] <gary_poster> will run again
[14:27] <benji> gary_poster: great!
[14:27] <benji> A++++, will run again
[14:27] <gmb> Woot.
[14:27] <bac> 34 minutes?
[14:28] <benji> bac: pretty much: "Elapsed38 mins, 36 secs"
[14:28] <gmb> Wow. That seems... short.
[14:29] <bac> benji: oh, i saw this "elapsedTime=2075.273179" which must omit some startup
[14:31] <gary_poster> actually, I've been using the elapsed time, from http://ec2-50-16-120-159.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8010/builders/lucid_lp/builds/0/steps/shell_9 in this case, so 34 minutes is true.  that is a bit suspicious, I must admit--it cuts down 20 minutes from our previous runs
[14:32] <gary_poster> the build is already gone so I can't see what happened last time, but I'll look after this next run
[14:53] <gary_poster> call off the parties...next run took 14 minutes and the testr directory looks...wrong somehow
[14:54]  * benji takes down the disco ball.
[14:59] <gary_poster> :-)
[15:00] <gary_poster> testr's reporting leaves a lot to be desired
[15:17] <gmb> gary_poster: It's not something to do with testr's splitting up of the tests per-core, is it?
[15:17] <gmb> Or are we futzing that somehow?
[15:23] <gary_poster> gmb, you mean, the reporting has something to do with testr's splitting of tests?  I don't think so.  We aren't futzing with that part of things.  What I thought I understood before about what testr does seems to show nothing now.
[15:23] <gary_poster> the test run file now only seems to show a start time and a stop time
[15:23] <gmb> gary_poster: No, I mean the short runtimes.
[15:24] <gmb> Actually, that makes no sense. Ignore me gary_poster .
[15:25] <gary_poster> gmb, oh, well, I had that analysis earlier from runs that both frankban and I made that I was getting test run times of 4 hours/number of cores plus 20 minutes
[15:25] <gary_poster> so eight cores was 50-ish minutes
[15:25] <gary_poster> not 38 and not 14
[15:25] <gmb> Right. Like I said, my thinking didn't actually make sense :)
[15:26] <gary_poster> :-) gotcha, np
[15:53] <gary_poster> Something has gone seriously wrong in our setup :-( runs are not producing output, and now lxc are stopping because they are unable to access dhclient.leases in the container...and maybe for other reasons?
[15:54] <gary_poster> ugh :-(
[16:02] <gary_poster> I'm going to kill this instance and try a newer version of precise. Maybe the update hosed things somehow? :-/
[17:45] <gary_poster> our entropy hack is not installed?
[17:46] <gary_poster> ah.  I don't have the newest version of the setup file. :-(
[17:53] <bac> gary_poster: have time for a quick chat in a bit?
[17:57] <gary_poster> bac, sure
[17:58] <gary_poster> bac, https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_/extras/canonical.com/goldenhorde when you are ready
[18:00] <bac> gary_poster: i'm trying but google is caught in an oauth redirection loop and i can't get in.  let me try firefox
[18:00] <gary_poster> ok
[19:53] <bac> gary_poster: i'm trying to test my change for testr init.  i've not run a launchpad buildbot on ec2 in a really long time, if ever (my testing originally was just using pyflakes).  does the slave typically show pending for the length of time setuplxc runs?
[19:55] <gary_poster> bac, yes
[19:56] <gary_poster> bac, I've discovered the problem for test runs btw
[19:56] <bac> gary_poster: so, a couple of hours of churning?
[19:56] <gary_poster> bac, on the 8 core, about an hour IIRC
[19:56] <bac> gary_poster: ugh, i did a single core
[19:56] <gary_poster> mm, probably 2 or 3 then yeah
[19:56] <bac> i figured i didn't need to see the tests run to completion but just get started
[19:57] <bac> gary_poster: what was the bug?
[19:58] <gary_poster> bac, the new zope.testing egg we made no longer gives the right output for --subunit --list-tests (cue my previous email saying how forking means you need to write tests...)
[19:58] <gary_poster> If you switch to the p4 version then it works
[19:58] <bac> ergh
[19:58] <gary_poster> but without the p5 fixes of course
[19:58] <gary_poster> yeah
[19:58] <gary_poster> so we need a p6 :-)
[20:36] <benji> If anyone would like to review https://code.launchpad.net/~benji/launchpad/bug-963463/+merge/100514 I would appreciate it.
[20:47] <bac> benji: i will
[20:48] <benji> bac: thanks
[20:50] <bac> benji: only question is whether a helper function would be warranted since you repeat yourself thrice
[20:51] <benji> bac: good question; I could go either way.  I think I'll add one.
[20:52] <bac> you are Dr Dry
[20:53] <bac> benji: done
[20:55] <benji> heh
[21:02]  * bac walks the dog
