TheLordOfTimePrecise is still frozen, right?02:27
RAOFPrecise is frozen forevermore.02:28
TheLordOfTimei meant for updates.02:28
TheLordOfTimethen i realized...02:28
TheLordOfTimewrong channel.02:28
TheLordOfTime:P02:28
* TheLordOfTime has too many damned channels02:28
TheLordOfTime(and the ZNC is slow to join them all)02:28
infinityTheLordOfTime: Nothing is being accepted into -updates at this point, so image building is stabilised until 12.04.1's release, but -proposed is vaguely open again.02:30
TheLordOfTimeright, but nothing will go from -proposed -> -updates until post-12.04.1 release?02:30
* TheLordOfTime is checking so he can correctly respond to a bug he was subscribed to02:30
TheLordOfTime(regarding a program update to Precise)02:31
infinityTheLordOfTime: Right, nothing will migrate (unless we find something we critically MUST fix for .1) until after .1 ships.02:31
TheLordOfTimethat's what i thought02:33
TheLordOfTimejust wanted to confirm that freeze on -updates was still in place :)02:33
* TheLordOfTime thought that was still the case, but wanted to confirm :)02:33
TheLordOfTime*yawn*  this is why i sometimes hate being subscribed to a package's bugs... you get pinged on ***EVERYTHING*** and everyone sometimes expects you to know the answers :/02:34
TheLordOfTime(case in point why i poked around about this)02:34
TheLordOfTimeanyways, back to bug triaging, thanks infinity for confirming what I suspected, that -updates is still frozen :)02:35
TheLordOfTimeout of pure curiosity, is there a site or something that would state whether $given_repo is frozen or not?02:36
TheLordOfTimeso i don't have to poke around to the various teams (Release, Security, MOTU, etc.) about whether its frozen :P02:37
infinityNot so much, no, you just need to be on top of the release process.  Or not care. ;)02:37
infinityI recommend the latter option to most people.02:37
TheLordOfTime:P02:37
infinityUpload as if there's no freeze, let us deal with it when we thaw the world.02:37
TheLordOfTimewell, when you're triaging bugs, and there's questions about whether something can be moved from -proposed to -updates, well....02:38
TheLordOfTimeyou kinda need to know whether there's a freeze :P02:38
infinityWell, it's not up to bug submitters/commentors whether things move anyway, even when not in a freeze. :P02:38
TheLordOfTime(namely, the people who actually are incessantly annoying and naggy will say "Why isnt this fixed in Precise yet?"  "Why isnt it fixed?"02:38
infinityIt's up to the SRU team.  And we have a handle on what we're moving and why.02:38
TheLordOfTimeindeed, however to get the person to stop posting "Why"... :P02:38
infinity(Or what we're not moving, right now)02:38
* TheLordOfTime is one of the contacts for that given package, so...02:39
TheLordOfTimeanyways, thanks again.  :)02:39
TheLordOfTimeactually, for a different reason, i wanted to know whether the freeze existed, there was a... "regression" we'll call it... between oneiric and precise's version of php5, and there's a ton of people (including myself) that wanted that fix pushed into precise pre-freeze, but it never happened.  Thank god for my SRU testing PPAs :P02:40
TheLordOfTimeanyways, i'll leave you all be.02:41
astraljavaskaet: stgraber: I don't feel there's a need for respins of neither Studio nor Xubuntu, either. Unless I missed any conversations about this, I concur with knome and scott-work.03:20

xnoxnjin: ogra_ is on it ;-)09:53
ogra_well, as much as clicking a retry button on LP means "on it" :)09:54
njinxnox, ogra_ thanks09:57

ubot2`Ubuntu bug 1038573 in evolution "Unreadable messages displayed during Lucid -> Precise upgrade" [High,Triaged]13:57
astraljavaskaet: The only thing that might require a respin for Studio is the possible refresh of -lowlatency, but I haven't heard of this thus far. And yes, I have noted the nearing testing deadline. :)14:01
skaetastraljava,  ack.  :)14:01
seb128skaet, nobody, shouldn't those bugs be tagged or assigned to our team so we notice them coming?14:03
seb128skaet, I will ask cyphermox to have a look since he fixed the similar looking issue the bug is pointing at, maybe his fix needs some tweaking14:04
skaetseb128,  depends on who's opening them how well the process is followed.   Thanks for asking cyphermox14:05

skaetstgraber, slangasek - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1039405 -  is there a recommended minimum configuration we should update the release notes to?14:31
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 1039405 in ubiquity "Lockups when running vm's with 768MB of memory" [Undecided,New]14:31
xnoxskaet: I think that when people do "Try Ubuntu -> install" instead of just "Install now"14:32
xnoxit eats more memory.14:32
cjwatsonYes14:32
xnoxso "Install now" can/should have lower memory footprint.14:33
xnoxneeds testing to determine the limit for both ways of running it.14:33
skaetthanks xnox, cjwatson.14:35
njinxnox, are you working ov bug 1037515 ?14:36
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1037515 in ubiquity "ubiquity-dm crashed with MissingProgramError in run(): No window manager found (tried metacity, xfwm4, matchbox-window-manager, openbox-lubuntu, openbox)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103751514:36
xnoxnjin: no, I am currently looking into LVM214:37
njinok, I require in bugsquad then, thanks14:38
slangasekcjwatson: do you think there's any action we should take on bug #1039405?  The submitter suggests that ubiquity should fail to start with a warning when it knows it has too little memory15:10
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1039405 in ubiquity "Lockups when running vm's with 768MB of memory" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103940515:10
cjwatsonThat's kind of problematic since ubiquity doesn't necessarily know for sure15:11
cjwatson768MB is what I use for my test VMs15:11
slangasekok15:11
cjwatsonSo I don't actually buy that this is a low-RAM case15:12
skaetslangasek,  cjwatson,  cross checked earlier with QA and a 1G system does work with "Try Ubuntu"15:12
slangasekcjwatson: using "Try Ubuntu"?15:12
cjwatsonYes15:12
Davieyskaet / stgraber: i don't think we need to respin for bug 103245615:12
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1032456 in cups "Canon inkjets (and some other printers) print only half of the last page after 20120801 upgrade to v1.5.3-0ubuntu2" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103245615:12
slangasekalright15:12
cjwatsonI used to use 512MB not that long ago15:12
cjwatsonIf 768MB were now too small, that would be a pretty serious ballooning in not very much time15:12
skaetDaviey,  its down as an opportunity target.   Some flavors are picking it up,  others are not.15:12
skaetDaviey,   if we respin Ubuntu for other reason's we'll pick it up,  otherwise release note time.15:13
Davieyyep, that sounds fine.15:13
cjwatsonI'm suspicious that all the memory allocation failures there are in fork()15:20
jibelskaet, hm ok, I can reproduce 1039405 with 768MB and 12.04.1 amd64 by booting to a live session, and running ubiquity with all the defaults values15:24
cjwatsonamd64 might have a different limit I guess; I usually use i38615:25
skaetthanks jibel.15:25
cjwatsonamd64 limits aren't a major concern in reality since who has an amd64 box with <1G15:26
Davieycjwatson: erm, does this impact virtual machines?15:27
Davieyoh, desktop only.. don't care :)15:27
ogra_youre so evil !15:27
Davieywell, i do care.. really.. and it is certainly less than ideal.15:28
smartboyhwWell, I think that setting a limit for amd64 is better, don't set a limit on i386 I think15:28
ogra_:)15:28
smartboyhwHi ogra_15:28
* xnox typically gives a VM 2 cpu cores and 2 GB or ram and directio to external drive.....15:39
* tumbleweed typically uses 1GB for my VMs. But at some point, I'll have to bump that...15:41
jibelon i386 with 512MB I get page allocation failures from the kernel when it mounts the target FS.15:45
xnoxjibel: this is with "try ubuntu" right?15:46
jibelxnox, right15:46
cjwatsonSome of this might be better in quantal due to the rewritten console page15:48
cjwatsonThat was a fairly non-trivial memory hog15:48
cjwatsonMight be worth backporting for .2 if it makes a difference to this kind of thing15:48
infinityskaet: Even if you don't respin for the cups bug, there's no reason (IMO) to release note something that has a fix sitting in -updates and doesn't affect the installation.15:49
stgraberinfinity: it'll affect anyone trying to print from the livefs on an affected system15:49
stgraberand apparently people use our live environment for more than running ubiquity...15:49
infinitystgraber: People turn livecds into print servers?15:50
* infinity shrugs.15:50
infinityI know my brother uses livecds for pristine/secure web browsing, but people who print web pages are weird (ie: my parents) and almost the exact inverse of the set of people who read release notes. :P15:51
stgraber:)15:51
smartboyhw;)15:51
infinityBut more seriously, if we release note every known bug, it's a phone book that NO ONE will read, that's not what they're for.15:51
* xnox remembers 7-digit phone numbers they were nice15:52
smartboyhwOh!15:52
Davieyxnox: i remember 4 digit phone numbers :)15:59
xnoxDaviey: stop showing your age, you look much younger than 4 digit numbers ;-)16:00
tumbleweedI was going to remember 6 digit phone numbers, but I knew *someone* would one-up me16:00
* ogra_ had a 4 digit number in his last house16:00
ogra_if you move far enough to the countryside they get shorter and shorter :)16:02
* knome barely remembers his 2-digit age16:02

ubot2`Ubuntu bug 1039405 in ubiquity "Lockups when running vm's with 768MB of memory" [Undecided,New]17:08
cjwatsonprobably amd64-specific; just splatting in a memory check is the wrong answer; may well be possible to backport keyboard page improvements from quantal for .217:09

jibel_balloons, skaet alternate on mac is ok, I tested encrypted+lvm and non-encrypted/guided and manual partitioning19:21
jibel_no testing desktop images19:21
jibel_now19:21
balloonsjibel, k.. I'm trying to fill in the missng tests as well on the alt images (non-mac of course)19:23
balloonsjibel, does selecting ftp as mirror fail for you on alt images.19:32
balloonsI've seen that before.. but it might actually be a bug19:33
jibel_balloons, I didn't try to select ftp as mirror, I will test it19:39
balloonsjibel, trying again with i386 iso..19:59
balloonsI was using vm.. that MIGHT have caused the issue..20:00
balloonsahh.. got it to work now with ftp://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu20:03
balloonsjibel, seems like the vmwareeasyinstall testcase is a bit messed up.. I'll update it.. I took new screenshots anyway :-)20:15
jibelballoons, how messed up ? there is already all the screenshots on the wiki20:18

balloonsmost of precise didn't get updated to point to the new testcases it looks like.. I just left it alone20:21
balloonsbut it seems the conversion for this testcase only has 2 steps :-)20:21
jibelah ok. 2 steps are more than enough for this test. 1. select the iso 2. click next until installation is done20:23
balloonslol.. it's pretty much it20:23
balloonsso getting vmware player running required a patch.. how odd20:24
