jibelballoons, do you think it'd be worth adding a step to verify suspend/resume as a post-installation test for desktop ?16:20
jibellike suspend/resume must succeed 5 times in a row16:21
balloonsjibel, wow.. 5 times16:21
jibel10 ?16:21
balloonsI think suspend/resume is always a rocky thing16:21
balloonsit depends if we will be aggressive to support suspend/resume failures16:21
balloonspersonally I don't suspend/resume ever on my desktop.. and my netbook has perfect ubuntu support (i bought it for that reason), so suspend/resume does work16:22
balloonsbut otherwise I don't suspend/resume16:22
balloonsthat includes any os.. lol16:22
balloonsI've been stuck with windows and macbooks at points in my life, and they also would sometimes fail16:23
balloonsit's really sad16:23
balloonsjust randomly not wake up..16:23
balloonslol -- I guess I've ranted. Long past your question. I think it's better to be tested in kernel testing16:23
jibelballoons, hm, it be nice if we could collect data, but I think suspend/resume is a critical feature of the OS16:24
balloonsbut yes, we should have it.. and we do in the kernel testing. But we're doing the LTS kernel testing, not for the dev version16:24
jibelwhen you commute do you shutdown your laptop ?16:24
jibelI just close the lid16:24
balloonsI just close the lid -- it's a chromebook and everything works perfectly16:25
jibelI'm asking because we just had a regression in 3.5.0-516:27
jibelat least we should be able to detect it in the dev release during milestone testing16:27
balloonsyes, if you notice, it was noticed by the kernel testing: http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/223/builds/19062/testcases/1306/results16:28
balloonsI wanted to start something similar for the dev version16:28
balloonsI did an experiment with software-properties when it landed: s, if you notice, it was noticed by the kernel testing: http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/223/builds/19062/testcases/1306/results16:30
balloonsthe idea is to track certain packages (critical things, and critical desktop components) and test them throughout the development release16:31
=== Guest64961 is now known as cr3
=== cr3 is now known as Guest9828
jibelballoons, or maybe we could have a run once test case like desktop-extra that covers critical packages during milestone tesitng ?16:33
jibelI mean a test case which is not about testing if the image is installable but if everything runs properly after install16:33
balloonsjibel, ahh -- yes, well we could incorporate the testing into the milestone sure16:35
balloonsI mean, add some optional testcases to our desktop image for stuff we care about16:35
balloonsthat can include kernel16:35
balloonseays16:35
balloonswe have a REALLY basic version of it on our testcases now16:36
balloonsaka, check the arch and open firefox16:36
balloonsI think thats pretty much it16:36
=== zyga is now known as zyga-brb
balloonsjibel, would you care to meet up and discuss in more detail? I have a couple comments I wanted to make on the current tests anyways16:39
jibelI think we could separate it from the installation. because 1. it would affect all types of installations 2. it affects specific packages not the components of the installer.16:39
jibelballoons, sure16:39
jibel3. that would make the current test clearer, installer test cases test the installer, post-installation tests test the packages16:40
jibelwell, the result of the installation16:40

phillwballoons: ping17:39
balloonsphillw, ponh17:40
phillwhi balloons, I hope you had a good weekend. Do you have an E.T.A. for the A3's to land at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/226/builds ?17:41
balloonsI asked skaet earlier -- she said they would be switching sometime today17:41
balloonsnot sure why it hasn't happened yet17:41
balloonswell.. lol17:42
skaetballoons,   2100 UTC is the standard time.17:42
balloonsthey are building17:42
skaetballoons,  what's building right now is the standard cron dailies17:42
balloonsohh skaet while I have you.. I always forget the std nightly build time17:42
phillwskaet: thanks, I'm just about to pen the e-mail to lubuntu-general letting them know :)17:43
balloonswhat is it in UTC?17:43
skaet2100??17:43
balloonsI thought it was 0200 UTC17:43
phillwskaet: yup, he had me thinking :)17:43
balloonsphillw, btw, I want to land a final version of that wiki page today17:44
balloonsI'm gonna push for it17:44
skaetballoons, phillw,  we're waiting on a kernel drop and d-i,  so may even be a bit later than that.   Probably at least one more after this first set though for some other updates.17:44
phillwballoons: can you post me the link again, please?17:45
balloonshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/GettingInvolved17:45
balloonshmm17:46
balloonsthat doesn't seem right17:46
balloonshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/GettingInvolved/MoreInfo17:46
balloonsahh there it is17:46
phillwballoons: are you happy enough with MoreInfo for it get a mention on the parent page?17:48
balloonsphillw, that was the point, I wanted to land it and link it today yes17:48
balloonshowever, I wanted to go through it again17:49
balloonswe'll be communicating again I'm sure :-)17:49
balloonsI have more stuff to add -- some answers to questions people sent17:49
phillwskaet: So, If I say 00:01 24th July - is it expected that they will all be there by then?17:49
phillwwith the proviso of we exepect a respin during the A3 QA stage?17:50
skaetphillw,  no,  all won't have finished building by then,  even if we did start at 2100,  which its likely to be later17:51
phillwballoons: that is the wonderful thing about MoreInfo, our testing page started off quite short, but has grown due to FAQ's. Each time we get new members, it tends to have another topic added :)17:51
skaetI'd set the expectation that there will be an initial set showing up aroun 0600 UTC on the 24th,  and a respin later that day17:51
balloonsjibel, sent you an invite for tomorrow17:51
phillwokies skaet, this does really trim down the QA window! Are we still committed to Thursday?17:52
skaetphillw,  however data on the first  set,  catastrophic failures, etc.  is going to be useful in avoiding later respins.17:52
skaetphillw,  it may end up being just one set,  all depends on when some builds/etc. finish.17:54
skaetjust don't want folks surprised if the builds don't align.  :/17:54
phillwskaet: as we still have bug 1007394 which is unresolved, that one will grumble on.17:54
phillwhmm, someone stolen the bug bot?17:54
ubot5Launchpad bug 1007394 in mdadm (Ubuntu) "Quantal daily fails to complete installation" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/100739417:54
phillwOkies, thanks for the heads up. I'll phrase it the best I can :)17:55
skaetphillw,   thanks for flagging,  adding it to the pad17:58

balloonsphillw, howdy21:32
balloonsman what a monday21:32
balloonsthese mondays are always crazy my friend21:32
balloonsare you excitied? I feel like I could run a marathon right now!21:33
phillwhi balloons, I've had a chilled out Monday. Had a brill w/end so left the computer alone today until about 7pm :)21:33
phillwNow I'm playing catch up.21:33
* hggdh wonders about balloons' sanity21:33
phillwballoons: just a little ask, if I may?21:34
balloonsphillw, of course21:35
balloonshggdh, mwahahahha21:35
hggdhballoons: I was almost set to welcome you to the madhouse ;-)21:35
hggdh(from inside, of course21:35
hggdhwelcome back my friend/ to the show that never ends/ we are glad to have you here/ come inside, come inside (and so on)21:36
hggdh(clue: karn evil 9, ELP)21:37
phillwballoons: would you cc the lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net,  mailing list. It just saves me forwarding the emails.21:37
phillwthat way, even when I'm not about - they get the latest information.21:38
balloonsphillw, ;-) for the iso testing stuff only perhaps?21:39
phillwballoons: yes for that, or for anything urgent you think they should be made aware of.21:40
balloonsalright, I will try and integrate that into my thought process21:40
balloons:-)21:40
phillwthanks, they do appreciate being kept "in the loop" :)21:41
balloonsnp..21:42
phillwballoons:  they also have a track record of responding to an SOS for a different member of the family being tested. Honest Nicholas, L-QA do not bite - several of them test across platforms already.21:51
balloonsphillw, I know this to be true21:51
balloonsthey are wonderful, and I've seen them help rally around a flavor in the past to help test the release21:51
balloonsbah that ctrl+w21:52
phillwAs has just happend with another project, it was the feeling of being treated like a mushroom that caused problems. If I ever get a complaint from L-QA about "too much information" we can look into it. Until then, if it involves QA - please cc them :)21:53
phillwballoons: drat, just been chatting to LordOfTime about his transfer of ZNC over, forgot you wanted to have a chat with him :(21:57
balloonsphillw, I caught him one day21:57
balloonsconversation has been had :-)21:57
phillwballoons: great. an update is he did the transfer last night, and so it should all be up and running within the next day.21:58
phillwhe has sorta apologised to me over the fact it would not run on a rpm system (CentOs), as he has a load of problems with the Ubuntu server system :P22:01
phillwLinux == Linux :)22:01
phillwon the plus side. I'll set him up an centos system, so he can port it to that arch.22:02
balloonsso it won't run on rpm eh?22:03
phillwballoons: it appears that what he thought was the problem was not an rpm problem, hence the semi apology off him :D22:06
phillwAs ZNC is a 'project' I'm quite happy to let him have a CentOS area to play with. Whilst 'Upstream' is just that, it does not mean that I should negate offering those projects an area to live on.22:08
phillwThe ZNC coming online is on Ubuntu Server 12.0422:09
phillwballoons: do not be afraid, ZNC server is just coming back on line in its new home :)23:23
phillwLord of Time is on #sii if you want to catch him.23:24
RAOFgema: We've talked about running the piglit Mesa regression suite on the QA lab hardware a couple of times at UDSes. I'd like to start driving that to implementation :)23:39
