trijntjeHi all, I do testing on a real system, not a virtual one. How should I submit a hardware profile?06:50
astraljavatrijntje: Here is a guide on Xubuntu, but it makes no difference what the flavor is, if any (meaning vanilla). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/HardwareProfile08:08
trijntjeastraljava: thanks! Is it possible to use that tool to just create a hardware profile,without running any of the tests?08:12

smartboyhwOh, that's bad.11:55
letozaf_Hello my name is Carla I would like to know if it's possible to use testdrive to test quantal ISOs as I see only precise ones configured, I tried to add quantal's one in the "other" tab, but it just seem not work12:44
letozaf_sorry got disconnect, now I'm back12:46
=== zyga-food is now known as zyga
smartboyhwYes, letozaf_13:03
letozaf_Hello my name is Carla I would like to know if it's possible to use testdrive to test Quantal ISOs as I see only Precise ones configured, I tried to add Quantal's one in the "other" tab, but it just seem not work13:22
jpdsletozaf_: Someone replied: < smartboyhw> Yes, letozaf_13:29
smartboyhwWait, I'm busying uploading Win 8 LPs.13:33
sagaciletozaf_, the testdrive-gtk pulls quantal isos by default13:34
smartboyhwYeah, it should be using Quantal ISOs...13:37
letozaf__but on testdrive I get (precise) written in the description instead on quantal13:44
letozaf__do you mean that the ISOs are quantal's all the same ?13:45
astraljavaletozaf__: Please hold for a moment, I'll check in a minute.13:49
letozaf__thank you13:49
balloonsletozaf__, I believe testdrive let's you select which distro in preferences13:52
astraljavaletozaf__: In the Preferences, make sure you have selected the quantal in the combobox under Ubuntu Releases, this can be found on the General tab.13:52
balloonsmake sure you've selected quantal13:52
letozaf__ok thank you13:52
letozaf__I'll check13:52
smartboyhwballoons, Hi!13:53
letozaf__yes you're right thanks again :)13:53
smartboyhwI did the ISO Testing Cadence.13:53
* balloons waves13:53
balloonssmartboyhw, awesome13:53
smartboyhwLet's see what will happen in today's meeting.13:54
smartboyhwStarting in 6 minutes.13:54
balloonsI guess it's a little confusing.. I know the tracker isn't setup nicely to show what we're trying to do sadly13:54
smartboyhwJust finished uploading 38 Windows 8 RTM LPs to MDL forums guys. Really tired.13:55
balloonssmartboyhw, interesting13:55
smartboyhwThose guys all thank me for that.13:56
cr3me4oslav: you might be interested to know that your changes to checkbox are now in quantal!13:56
smartboyhwcongrats, me4oslav13:57
me4oslavcr3 smartboyhw which changes? :) The home screen MR or the entire UI design change? ::)13:58
smartboyhwAsk cr413:58
smartboyhwcr3, sorry13:58
smartboyhwIs phillw here!? He is the chair!13:58
me4oslavwell, I did mentioned cr3 too :D13:59
phillwsmartboyhw: he is and has just logged on to -meeting :D13:59
balloonsphillw reporting in13:59
balloonslol14:00
smartboyhwYEAH!14:00
smartboyhwMeeting started!14:00
cr3me4oslav: can you point me to your entire UI design change MR?14:12
me4oslavcr3, there isn't a MR -_- There is just a pretty sketched design :D https://picasaweb.google.com/100530892038948253747/CheckboxQT14:13
cr3me4oslav: without a MR, you can be sure those changes aren't in quantal :)14:14
me4oslavcr3, the things is the design I created is something I can't code :D I have to talk with the folks that are working on the main UI to get it implemented :)14:15
cr3me4oslav: you might be happy to know that someone is already working on unifying the scrollboxes with the list of tests and statuses14:16
cr3me4oslav: actually, it's done already. please pull the latest changes from trunk and run ./bin/checkbox-qt14:17

ubot5`me4oslav: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com14:18
smartboyhwThis channel is for testing issues, dude!14:18
stgrabersmartboyhw: and development discussions on checkbox (a testing tool) are perfectly appropriate14:19
cr3smartboyhw: checkbox is also for testing :)14:19
cr3smartboyhw: in theory, checkbox could have its own channel but, in practice, there's not a lot of traffic about checkbox nor testing issues so it seems reasonable to share the same channel14:20
smartboyhwHmm, guys, stay focused at the meeting in #ubuntu-meeting.14:20
brendandme4oslav, do you have checkbox 0.14.3 installed? if not what version do you have?14:46
me4oslavbrendand - the latest trunk14:46
brendandme4oslav, try apt-get install checkbox-qt and see if it offers a version14:48
brendandnew version14:48
me4oslavbrendand, I'm on P ... will that do the trick?14:48
cr3brendand: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:checkbox-dev; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install checkbox checkbox-qt14:49
cr3me4oslav: ^^^ that'll do the trick :)14:49
cr3the checkbox-dev ppa contains the latest crack of the day14:49
me4oslavcr3, MY HERO :D14:49
sagaciIve been testing the regular desktop 32/64bit images and I can commit to doing that every few days especially around this part of the cycle just to make sure there nothing majorly wrong14:49
cr3balloons: ^^^ any particular tests you think sagaci should be running?14:50
balloonshey cr3 !14:51
balloonssagaci, yes you can test things that have been setup as a 'call for testing' on the package tracker14:51
balloonsI assume you have used the isotracker in the past to report results on your iso testing ?http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/14:52
sagacirighteo I'll check it out tomorrow. Painful typing on Android teamviewer.14:53
njinballons: hallo, how can I see my testecase preview for bind9 http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/admin/config/services/qatracker/testcases14:54
brendandme4oslav, are you able to run checkbox?14:55
smartboyhwballoons: Can I co-ordinate the daily ISO testing?14:56
balloonssagaci, ok, well the package tracker is http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/.14:56
me4oslavbrendand, behold: http://i.imgur.com/wHDYN.png14:56
balloonssagaci, Email me https://launchpad.net/~nskaggs and I can share much more info and get you started, since your on your phone :-)14:57
smartboyhwballoons: Read my question?14:57
sagacithanks, I'll have a read through it14:57
=== mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|on_the_p
=== mmrazik|on_the_p is now known as mmrazik|otp
brendandme4oslav, you mean it's hanging like that?14:58
me4oslavbrendand ... yup ;s And I can start it from trunk14:58
phillwsmartboyhw: http://qa.ubuntu.com/ does not have the correct time, and it needs a Canonical person to edit it.14:59
smartboyhwOh!14:59
brendandcr3, can we reproduce what me4oslav is seeing?15:00
phillwI'm a wiki editor, but I don't have access to that area of the wikis :)15:00
me4oslavbrendand cr3 - probably not ... checkbox loathes me :D15:00
balloonsnjin, hey :-) yes, looking at it now15:01
smartboyhwOh, that one. Thanks, phillw15:01
brendandme4oslav, can you make sure trunk is fully up to date (bzr pull)15:01
me4oslavbrendand, well I did "bzr branch lp:checkbox" like 10 mins ago, so :)15:02
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
=== _salem is now known as salem_
brendandme4oslav, let's try running from trunk15:04
me4oslavbrendand, it fired up without any issues :) Now what? :P15:04
cr3brendand: better to look at the logs than try to reproduce15:05
cr3me4oslav: you upgraded both checkbox and checkbox-qt, right?15:05
me4oslavcr3 - yes, but who cares if it doesn't run _for me_ if it is installed? It works from trunk :D15:07
cr3me4oslav: if it doesn't work for you, maybe it doesn't work for others. it would be nice to know for sure15:08
cr3me4oslav: I would really appreciate if you could take a moment to report a bug and attach the logs from ~/.cache/checkbox15:09
me4oslavcr3 Hardly the case, a few weeks ago I did some terrible things w/ it (ran commands I shouldn't have ran) and since then it works only from tunk -_-15:10
cr3me4oslav: in that case, you might like to rm -fr ~/.cache/checkbox and try again15:10
cr3me4oslav: if that doesn't work, try to apt-get purge all checkbox related packages and try installing again15:11
me4oslavcr3, removing that did didn't do a thing. I will remove and try again ... but like I said I have screwed it in major way15:13
cr3me4oslav: make sure to purge, that should remove all traces of things you might've done :)15:14
balloonsnjin, I think I want to see it on the website15:30
balloonsyou can remove the template stuff at the bottom15:30
cr3balloons: the qa dashboard link on this page returns status code 404: http://qa.ubuntu.com/report-list/15:34
balloonsnjin, on the testcase side, looks good, just needs the 'expected results' added to the steps15:34
smartboyhw404!!?!!?!15:35
njinballons, yes, but I cannot figure out haw to see the preview for it15:35
balloonscr3, ahh.. good catch15:36
balloonsthat's moved as you can tell15:36
balloonsnjin, I'm not sure what accessyou have in the tool15:36
cr3balloons: indeed, just thought you'd be the right person to update the website accordingly15:36
balloonsnjin, I put it here: http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/223/builds/16266/testcases/1311/results15:36
smartboyhwballoons: Who's android-lee? I looked at the Top testers (current milestones) lists, and he's the first on it!15:37
balloonsnjin, in order to do that I added it to a product and created the build15:38
balloonsI wonder if you are able to do this or not.. not sure how much access your permissions give you15:38
balloonssmartboyhw, android-lee is a tester15:39
balloonsjust like you15:39
smartboyhwWow, he's real active.15:39
njinsmartboyhw, he's a great fun of bruce -lee15:40
smartboyhw...15:41
njinballons, what do you think to run  server in VM and take some screenshot of the default install + the expected results for the verifies ?15:44
njinballons, bwetter not15:47
balloonsscreenshots?15:48
balloonsnjin, yes we discussed the idea of screenshots in the past15:49
balloonswe've stuck with text for the most part15:49
njinballoons, yes it can be good for the server, but for the desktop I think it needs a continuous upgrade work15:51
balloonsnjin, so if you can make sure the testcase follows the format of do A, expect B it should be all set15:57
balloonsnjin, notice it uses html tags.15:58
njinballons, I've noted just now, writing the testcase that we have to choose two times the language... LOL18:22
njinballoons:^^18:24
njinI've to open another bug report18:25
balloonstwo times the language?18:25
njinyes, the firat at the start of the splash screen and the second at the language selection18:25
njinfirat/first18:26
njinI'm wrong ?18:26
balloonsohh18:27
balloonsI understnad, I thinki18:27
balloonshmm.. which iso did this appen on?18:27
* balloons is still getting today's iso's18:27
njintoday server 8debian installer18:27
njintoday's build of server18:28
njinbut in general all debian installer18:28
balloonsahh18:29
balloonsso the alternate images?18:29
njinyes18:30
njindebian too18:30
njin( not secure about debian)18:30
njinballoons, seems to me that chrisccoulson is working on it, so I open a report. I've run that installer hundreds of times and nevwer noted this fact18:35
balloonsnjin, ok18:35
balloonsthat is quite odd18:35
balloonsI ran into something with ubiquity yesterday that was also weird on language18:35
balloonsso I thought maybe that was what you were talking about18:36
njinballoons, http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/223/builds/16266/testcases/1311/results the first (default instalation) is done and verified step by step20:06
balloonsnjin, ok one sec20:08
balloonsnjin, ahh, so your starting to convert the server testcases :-)20:09
balloonscool20:09
njintomorrow I will do a real hardware installation to see the difference with the wireless20:09
njinyes20:09
balloonsYou can remove the case id at the top20:09
balloonslet me look at the behind the scenes and check the formatting :-)20:10
njinok, tomorrow I will write the walkthrought20:10
njinnow i've to go, see you soon20:11
balloonsnjin,20:11
balloonsnjin, k.. let's talk tomorrow when your around20:11
njinok20:11
balloonsphillw, ping21:01
phillwballoons: pong21:05
balloonsphillw, check out my response to Lance and the wiki page21:06
balloonsI hope it helps a little.. I realize the idea is still a bit confusing and off21:07
balloonsif there's anything else I can do to help clarify or make it easier let me know21:07
phillwthanks for the reply.21:08
balloonsalso, while I have you. I need to schedule that meeting21:08
phillwfrustrated testers are not productive testers :)21:09
balloonsheh.. it's a big agenda.. everything to do about iso testing.. the scheduling, how we're doing it, the communication, respins, the testcases we're running21:09
balloonsall of it needs discussed21:09
balloonsso, my question to you is what's the best format for the lubuntu guys?21:09
balloonsirc, video hangout, combination?21:09
balloonsand what's the best time in general to meet (in UTC)?21:10
phillwI'm pretty sure that for a one off, they'd be flexible. Best way would be to put the poll to allow people to state when they could attend a special meeting. for such a thing, I'm available at any time.21:11
balloonsyes, I thought about polling21:13
balloonsbut honestly it's such a big discussion it's going to end up as several meetings.. perhaps not21:13
balloonsperhaps a mailing list thread is best21:13
balloonsi'm going to have a think on it21:14
phillwmaybe start something along the lines of a whiteboard?21:16
balloonsphillw, hmm.. ok, elaborate if you would21:18
phillwballoons: along the lines of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-q-work-items ? I'm trying to find the live whiteboard!21:20
balloonsphillw, :-)21:25
phillwwe have found it invaluable. We can bring up topics, the devs can tell us where things are upto etc.21:29
balloonsphillw, send me a link whenever you find it again.. no rush21:32
phillwballoons: (22:40:07) phillw: hi Boss, do you have the link to the quantal whiteboard to hand? (The one that we can actually edit, not the https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-q-work-items one).21:44
phillw(22:40:46) Julien: it's the one on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-q-work-items21:44
phillw(22:41:01) phillw: hmm, how do you edit it?21:44
phillw(22:41:04) Julien: there is a section "Whiteboard" which you can edit21:44
phillw(22:41:22) Julien: you are login in launchpad ?21:44
phillw(22:41:30) phillw: got it!21:44
phillwi've changed the irc nick as he does not get pinged.21:45
phillw*so as he does not get pinged*21:45
phillwit looks like kate set them up, I'm sure she can provide further information as to how they function. Another option is the etherpad as used by the release team?21:53
