[12:05] <jolivien> hey everyone! im new to ubuntu testing and by chance i have some spare time now for getting into it. could do some iso-testing (laptop), or (almost) anything else. would you recommend to go for the beta images or some daily builds? thanks!
[12:12] <phillw> hi jolivien which ever you prefer! also if you have a laptop you could help out with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures
[12:18] <jolivien> thanks!
[14:23] <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?
[14:29] <jamespage> jibel, are we automatically reporting any test results to the ISO tracker yet?
[14:30] <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 :)
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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.
[14:34] <PaoloRotolo> Hi all!
[21:09] <iGadget> hi
[21:09] <MrChrisDruif> Aloha iGadget
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <iGadget> #972823
[21:14] <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.
[21:16] <astraljava> iGadget: Looks like linux-firmware, if that is indeed the cause for the halting.
[21:17] <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?
[21:18] <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?
[21:19] <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.
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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?
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <iGadget> just too bad the zv6000 cannot boot from usb
[21:24] <iGadget> booting from the CD takes ages
[21:24] <astraljava> Yeah.
[21:26] <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
[21:37] <iGadget> astraljava: I've updated the bug. Anything else I can try?
[21:46] <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 :)
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <iGadget> just out of curiosity - do you ever use the presenter console in LO?
[21:49] <astraljava> I don't even know what that is, but probably wasn't directed to me. Good luck with the other bugs. :)
[21:50] <iGadget> no it wasn't... it's been assigned to Björn
[21:50] <iGadget> bug #824466
[21:51] <iGadget> has been an issue since 11.04
[21:51] <iGadget> and I'm afraid it will not be fixed in 12.04 either
[21:52] <iGadget> anyway, thanks for your help. I've got to get to bed now
[21:52] <iGadget> bye!
