| bladernr_ | is ubuntu-qa-tools still packaged? how do I install it in precise, or do I need to just pull the branch from LP? | 14:23 |
| jamespage | jibel, are we automatically reporting any test results to the ISO tracker yet? | 14:29 |
| jibel | jamespage, not for ubuntu. stgraber is doing it for upgrade testing of ubuntu flavors | 14:30 |
| jibel | bladernr_, ubuntu-qa-tools is not packaged in Precise | 14:30 |
| jamespage | jibel, one for next release then :-) | 14:30 |
| bladernr_ | jibel: ahhh... that woud explain why I can't find it anymore :) | 14:30 |
| jibel | jamespage, I think so :) | 14:30 |
| jamespage | bladernr_, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-iso-testing-dev/+archive/dev | 14:31 |
| jamespage | we retained a very old version to support ISO testing. | 14:31 |
| * jamespage goes to POSTPONE some work items | 14:31 | |
| bladernr_ | jamespage: ahhh thanks. I did a fresh install of Precise rather than an upgrade and this is one of the things I was missing. | 14:32 |

| iGadget | hi | 21:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aloha iGadget | 21:09 |
| iGadget | just tried booting the precise beta 2 cd on my pavilion zv6000 | 21:10 |
| iGadget | and it failed :( | 21:10 |
| iGadget | already filed a bug about it, but I didn't know which package to file it under | 21:10 |
| iGadget | #972823 | 21:11 |
| iGadget | can anyone help me in the right direction? | 21:14 |
| astraljava | bug #972823 | 21:14 |
| astraljava | grr... where's ubottu when you need it. | 21:14 |
| astraljava | iGadget: Looks like linux-firmware, if that is indeed the cause for the halting. | 21:16 |
| iGadget | it's never been a problem in the past with any previous ubuntu release | 21:17 |
| iGadget | can't imagine why that would cause the boot process to freeze? | 21:17 |
| iGadget | but then again... bugs can pop up anywhere of course :) | 21:18 |
| iGadget | So shall I change the bug to point it at linux-firmware? | 21:18 |
| astraljava | iGadget: The reason _seems_ to be quite obvious, but of course I'm not sure whether the driver has dropped from the package, or what other causes could there be. | 21:19 |
| iGadget | astraljava: well in all previous ubuntu releases the firmware wasn't part of the package either as far as I can remember, always had to do some manual tweaking before my wireless started working | 21:20 |
| astraljava | iGadget: Ok, so then maybe something else is blocking the boot. Can you hit Ctrl+Alt+F[1|4] when it halts, and take another pic of what it says there? | 21:21 |
| iGadget | nope, already tried that. It's totally frozen when this happens | 21:22 |
| astraljava | I always forget which Fx button actually shows you the console screen. | 21:22 |
| astraljava | OK. | 21:22 |
| iGadget | but... let me double check that | 21:22 |
| iGadget | just too bad the zv6000 cannot boot from usb | 21:23 |
| iGadget | booting from the CD takes ages | 21:24 |
| astraljava | Yeah. | 21:24 |
| iGadget | hmmm... I can switch with Alt+F1 while it's booting, but there's nothing but a blinking cursor there until the (same) error appears | 21:26 |
| iGadget | and then indeed as I mentioned before - a complete freeze | 21:26 |
| iGadget | astraljava: I've updated the bug. Anything else I can try? | 21:37 |
| astraljava | iGadget: I don't know, but maybe someone who triages the bug has more ideas, so I'm sure it'll progress from there. Thanks for reporting the issue! | 21:46 |
| iGadget | np | 21:46 |
| iGadget | thanks for your assistance :) | 21:46 |
| astraljava | Hopefully I did more that than damage. :) | 21:47 |
| iGadget | of course you did :D | 21:47 |
| iGadget | now onto the next pack of bugs... as soon as I find the time | 21:47 |
| iGadget | just out of curiosity - do you ever use the presenter console in LO? | 21:48 |
| astraljava | I don't even know what that is, but probably wasn't directed to me. Good luck with the other bugs. :) | 21:49 |
| iGadget | no it wasn't... it's been assigned to Björn | 21:50 |
| iGadget | bug #824466 | 21:50 |
| iGadget | has been an issue since 11.04 | 21:51 |
| iGadget | and I'm afraid it will not be fixed in 12.04 either | 21:51 |
| iGadget | anyway, thanks for your help. I've got to get to bed now | 21:52 |
| iGadget | bye! | 21:52 |
