jbichaballoons: hey, how do I force apport to let me report a bug from the compiz-gsettings ppa?01:52
jbichaI believe I have APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES set01:53
shadeslayer\o02:23
phillwjbicha: have you tried ubuntu-bug compiz02:45
phillwjbicha: if that does not work, then remove the ppa, reinstall and report against the ppa02:46
phillw(as in ppa purge)02:46
phillwjbicha: I cannot find it on the central QA area, I do apologise; we are getting things transferred over. the current one for dealing with errant ppa's is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPA_Testing02:53
jbichathe ppa purge idea is interesting, I'll try that next time02:56
phillwIt's most likely my fault that it has not been added onto https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities as we were discussing about documenting 'ad-hoc' testing, and it does appear to have slipped under our radar.... I'm sorry.03:01
phillwIn my feeble defence, we really are stretched with testing. We have a QA meeting this afternoon, I'll bear this example in mind for the fact we MUST have correct & upto date information for the good people who actually test.03:03

smartboyhwphillw: If you are here: How is your upgrade testing going?:)12:02
phillwsmartboyhw: for kubuntu? We have a confirmation of the complete fail.12:08
smartboyhwphillw: Oh....That's sad12:08
phillwsmartboyhw: it's not that bad, at least they have a better idea of the failure.12:09
smartboyhwphillw: Hmm...12:09
smartboyhwHmm, still no good with the testing status of Ubuntu Studio 12.04.1 images, only me and len-dt tested it, and that was because we are team member there:(12:15
phillwjust waiting for kubuntu-devel to ask me what they want me to do next. I've preppped up daddy server for them12:16
smartboyhwphillw: Daddy server? BTW, aren't you supposed to be in Lubuntu?:)12:16
phillwlubuntu has its ticks, we have just about got enough testers.12:17
smartboyhwphillw: What do you mean by "we have just got enough testers?" Who are the testers? Want to know12:18
phillwsmartboyhw: daddy server is the 16G version of http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/12:18
smartboyhwphillw: You mean there's not enough people in testing Kubuntu?12:18
phillwsmartboyhw: our list is https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa/+members which includes some 'main' QA people.12:19
smartboyhwOK, thanks.12:20
smartboyhwphillw: Is it that we will be talking a hell lot about 12.04.1 testing on today's QA meeting?:-)12:22

smartboyhwOK, so, the MASSIVE FAILURE that phillw has experienced during testing.14:55
njinI cannot remeber all this failure upgrading from Uby 10.04 to 12.0414:56
smartboyhwI never tested it, since I hate old releases:(14:57
smartboyhwI like NEW!14:57
njinand it was also an hardware test14:57
phillwjibel: the failures on 10.04.4 --> 12.04 overloaded the error reporting system, the logs of my coversations are on #kubuntu-devel14:57
njinsmartboy, the new is on the upgrade logistic...;-)14:57
balloonsnjin, yes upgrades seemed to go really smooth this time around14:57
phillwjibel: it was confirmed on VM very late (read as in the early hours for myself)14:58
smartboyhwBTW, look at the e-mail a guy just sent to the qA mail list14:59
phillwI cannot therefore give a tick to the iso-tracker.14:59
njindownloading images to test an upgrade14:59
smartboyhwNot downloading, will sleep soon:(14:59
njinI wiil upgrade ubuntu amd 6415:01
njinballoons, the bug with the LP is due to a tilde in the tags, I've specified in the mail that i?ve sent to carla, but still waiting approval...15:05

phillwballoons: alas no, the VM failed all external connections after the upgrade (it was on my local machine), that is why I said that they could use the last spare SII server VM and uploaded both the 10.04.4 iso's to it.15:20

jibelphillw, I tried a kubuntu upgrade from 10.04.4 + updates to latest precise and it succeeded. Only failure I got was a crash of Kbuildsycoca, it was not fatal and I dismissed the error dialog16:46

pgranercking, gema had it, she would have any tracking17:16
ckingpgraner, hrm, she sent me a package with some of the kit - OK I will pursue this and track it down somehow, thanks17:17
