| trijntje | Should all tests be done with real physical CDs or can I also use a usb disk as installation medium? | 08:42 |
|---|---|---|
| trijntje | eg, http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/NetBoot only mentions CD | 08:42 |
| trijntje | also, the download option gives me a tar.gz, how should I put that on a cd/usb? | 08:45 |
| pitti | trijntje: USB image is just fine, and even encouraged | 08:53 |
| pitti | trijntje: write it with the usb-creator tool, or anything which can write the image on the raw device | 08:54 |
| pitti | trijntje: the descriptions are indeed a bit outdated; from Quantal on we will only have one image which will probably be called "USB" (or perhaps DVD) | 08:54 |
| pitti | trijntje: usb/dvd images are .iso; netboot works differently | 08:55 |
| pitti | you either need to set up tftp with that tarball, or download mini.iso | 08:55 |
| trijntje | but where should I download mini.iso for quantal alpha1, and what should I do with the .tar.gz when I use mini.iso? | 08:58 |
| pitti | TBH I've never tried netboot, so I'm afraid I cannnot give reliable information beyond that | 08:58 |
| trijntje | pitti: ok thanks, I'll wait around for a bit to see if someone else here knows | 09:01 |
| trijntje | pitti: on a 100% unrelated note, if you don't mind, are you aware of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-defaults-builder/+bug/998351 | 09:02 |
| pitti | trijntje: I've seen it, but haven't had time to look into it yet | 09:03 |
| trijntje | pitti: good, I'm sorry to bother you in that case. I'm never sure who gets notified about bugs since launchpad only lists 'maybe notified' | 09:05 |
| pitti | no need to be sorry, that's fine :) | 09:05 |
| trijntje | thanks, I alway's feel like I'm bothering you with my problems ;) | 09:11 |
| jibel | trijntje, the right image for the netboot installation is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu145/images/netboot/mini.iso | 09:14 |
| jibel | or http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-i386/20101020ubuntu145/images/netboot/mini.iso for 32bit | 09:14 |
| jibel | you don't need the tar.gz | 09:14 |
| jibel | The link on the tracker should be fixed | 09:15 |
| trijntje | jibel: thanks! Can I do somehting to help fix the link on the tracker? | 09:15 |
| jibel | stgraber, ^ for i386 and amd64 is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu145/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz on purpose ? | 09:15 |
| jibel | trijntje, that's fine, we'll wait for a confirmation from stgraber | 09:16 |
| jibel | trijntje, thanks for pointing it | 09:16 |
| trijntje | no problem, I'm glad I can get on with testing now ;) | 09:19 |
| jibel | kernel crashed during install on Mac :( | 09:20 |
| jibel | and grub failed to install on alternate amd64 in expert mode :( :( | 09:20 |
| jibel | stgraber, I fixed the links to mini.iso, I'll revert if that was not a mistake | 09:26 |
| jibel | pitti, does it make sense to report bugs about jockey ? it's showing strange devices (USB HID, uas, intel graphics, intel smbus, ...) and fails when I try to activate any of them | 09:30 |
| pitti | jibel: not really any more; ubiquity is now using ubuntu-drivers-common, and we try to get rid of it | 09:31 |
| pitti | I noticed the same, but didn't bother to debug it any more | 09:31 |
| jibel | pitti, ok, thanks | 09:32 |

| stgraber | jibel: not sure why we were pointing to netboot.tar.gz but that definitely sounds like a mistake, mini.iso is really the easiest way to test netinstall | 13:30 |
| njin | jibel: is amd64 desktop respinning ? | 14:24 |
| jibel | njin, yes all images have been respun to grab latest kernel and debian-installer changes | 14:27 |
| njin | ok waiting | 14:28 |
| jibel | balloons, why did you report the cjk error twice, is there a difference between the 2 bugs ? | 15:41 |
| balloons | jibel, I don't believe there is a difference (but I can't read the bug).. and I wanted to take a look at the logs apport would upload from it | 15:43 |
| jibel | balloons, ah ok. You can just read the logs from the live session too | 15:44 |
| balloons | jibel, open question -- if I find a bug that is a dupe of mine, but I feel my debugging information would be useful, what;s the easiest way to add my stuff to the bug report? | 15:44 |
| jibel | without filing a new bug | 15:44 |
| jibel | balloons, add a comment and attachments to the master report | 15:45 |
| jibel | balloons, did you reproduce 1009052 with another language than Chinese ? | 15:47 |
| balloons | ok, but where are the attachments to do so? | 15:48 |
| balloons | jibel, yes I used simplified chinese, and chinese.. when the new images come I can try japanese and korean | 15:48 |
| jibel | ah ok, only Chinese then. | 15:50 |
| jibel | balloons, any type of attachment that can improve the bug report. | 15:50 |
| jibel | for ubiquity, interesting pieces are in /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman and the content of /var/log/installer/* | 15:50 |
| balloons | jibel, noted.. thank you | 15:52 |
| jibel | balloons, I tried spanish and it passed. It seems to affect only Chinese | 15:58 |
| * balloons wonders if other asian languages are affected | 16:00 | |
| balloons | I guess I can just try one on the old image anyway | 16:00 |
| balloons | trying japanese.. then lunch :-) | 16:03 |
| jibel | balloons, yes, changes in new build won't affect languages | 16:04 |
| balloons | hmm.. it autodetects me as in toyko.. which is wrong, my network is working and showing in ubiquity as active | 16:04 |
| balloons | jibel, japanese install fails as well | 16:10 |

| trijntje | when testing the netboot image, choosing 'kubuntu' after the install of the minimal system should give a full graphical kubuntu desktop right? | 18:21 |
| njin | AFAIK you have to install kubuntu on first | 18:23 |
| njin | trijntje:^^ | 18:25 |
| njin | I want to test Ubuntu amd64 desktop, pull out of the oven or the bugs will be roasted !!! | 18:39 |
| stgraber | njin: it's building at the moment, should be published in the next hour | 18:40 |
| stgraber | njin: though note that we'll start respinning all the images in 3-4 hours for kernel bugs (affecting amd64 macs and arm) | 18:40 |
| stgraber | so we're just doing that batch of builds to try and find a few more bugs we may want fixed before the later rebuild | 18:40 |
| njin | ok so I can est a wubi install, just to see if complete | 18:41 |
| stgraber | yep, that's always useful | 18:42 |
| stgraber | basically anything that wasn't tested at all so far, would be good to test before we rebuild everything | 18:42 |
| njin | ok thanks stgraber, ah sandra asks me how you can do more than 900 tests | 18:43 |
| stgraber | njin: I do daily upgrade testing of all the flavours :) | 18:44 |
| njin | I reply, night and day, | 18:44 |
| njin | great stgraber !! | 18:44 |
| jibel | trijntje, right, if you select the task kubuntu during a netboot install, you should have a fully working kubuntu desktop after installation | 19:55 |
| stgraber | njin: ^ there you go :) | 20:04 |
| njin | stgraber, thanks | 20:05 |
| njin | uhm, i've to wait ½ hour for wubi to end | 20:05 |
| trijntje | jibel, njin: thanks, it looks like I made some mistakes during install so I'm running it again | 20:34 |
