mvojibel: hello, can you give me a hint on this jenkins error: "sh: 0: Can't open /tmp/tmp.1kRfnWr0Ov/dsc0-build/software-center-5.3.10/debian/tests/run-tests" ? from the latest upload. I guess the real issue is "-su: line 0: cd: /tmp/tmp.1kRfnWr0Ov/dsc0-build/software-center-5.3.10: Permission denied" - but why?13:56
jibelmvo, I'm on it. autopkgtest set TMPDIR and set it to 070014:04
jibelmvo, I'll apply the same /fix/ pitti uses for his tests14:04
mvojibel: if you tell me what the fix is I will merge it :)14:05
pittiagreed; setting this private $TMPDIR leads to nothing but trouble in a lot of tests :(14:05
pittijust run the tests under env -u TMPDIR, or "unset TMPDIR" in debian/tests/*14:05
mvopitti: cool, thanks, trying this now14:15
xnoxbug 1043853 filed against ubiquity, when a person runs a command in a terminal.....14:16
ubot5Launchpad bug 1043853 in apt (Ubuntu) "Apt ignored few packages on executing 'sudo apt-get update'" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104385314:16
* xnox refiled it....14:16
jibelxnox, he seems to be using ubiquity for everything e.g bug 104386014:23
ubot5Launchpad bug 1043860 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Manual setting of time and date has no effect on the clock present on the desktop " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104386014:23
xnoxjibel: My theory is that iso tracking website, on the bug reporting page suggests to file bugs against ubiquity14:24
xnoxjibel: maybe they should be changed more urgently to a "link to bugsquad wiki page" or a paragraph "select an appropriate package, if all fails then use ubiquity package"14:24
xnoxlaunchpad has an excellent package search facility =)14:24
jibelthe tracker should refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures#Bugs14:27
jibelballoons, could we replace the content of http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/22117/buginstructions with the section https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures#Bugs14:30
jibelballoons, what do you think ?14:30
smartboyhwjibel: Let14:32
smartboyhw's wait for balloons to wake up:)14:32
smartboyhwping balloons14:33
* balloons is reading14:36
smartboyhwballoons: Who shall be the chairs for September QA meetings?14:36
balloonsjibel, I think xnox's summary for how to report bugs is pretty good14:38
balloonsbasically changing the instructions and of course, adding the bug wiki pages you mentioned as required reading will help out14:38
balloonsthis looks interesting; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures14:39
smartboyhw...14:41
balloonsanyways, let me try and update the instructions and see what everyone thingks14:42
smartboyhwOK14:43
mvojibel, pitti: do you have a example I can look at? I just can't figure it out :/ keeps failing in my adt test VM14:43
pittimvo: gvfs and apport14:44
pittione does "unset TMPDIR"14:44
pittithe other "env -u TMPDIR /usr/share/apport/testsuite/run 2>&1"14:44
mvota!14:45
balloonsjibel, xnox http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/22117/buginstructions14:59
balloonsneed to fix the formatting a bit, but thoughts?14:59
smartboyhwballoons: I saw it and it's good.15:00
xnoxballoons: yeah, add jquery AJAX UI to make it a flowcharts with yes/no questions like in magazines with Text-to-Speech automated announcements "Press 1 if yes, Press 2 if no, Press 3 to repeat" and it will be grand =)15:01
xnoxballoons: but honestly. Yes it is good =)15:02
balloonsheh.. :-)15:02
balloonsthat would be nice15:02
smartboyhw;_)15:02
balloonsalright, so i'll clean up the formatting a little and then replace the instructions on the rest15:02
xnoxballoons: it should be one line15:08
xnoxballoons: e.g. table with three columns15:08
balloonsnot sure I can do a true table15:08
balloonsbut yes, keep describing15:08
xnoxballoons: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176073/15:13
xnoxit is actually fixed-size in the terminal15:13
balloonsahh, I see it15:13
xnoxi should not scroll the window15:14
balloonsyes.. it's way to olong15:14
xnoxit's a short paragraph not a manual =)15:14
balloonsheh.. the trouble is those pre tags15:15
balloonsmaybe I'll bold instead15:15
balloonsxnox, http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/22117/buginstructions15:26
bdmurrayxnox, balloons: that buginstructions page misses plymouth as a posibility and I don't think it should have the 'if unknown' line.  Actually, I don't think 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu' would work at all16:12
mvojibel, pitti: https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/software-center/adt-you-make-my-life-hard/+merge/122100 as the tree is alreaady created as root :/ feedback welcome, then it should be in reasonable state (fingers crossed)16:13
balloonsbdmurray, alright we can keep iterating on it16:14
balloonsthe goal is to get more bugs in the proper location16:14
balloonsthat will help everyone :-)16:14
bdmurrayright I understand and appreciate the work16:15
xnoxbdmurray: true, hard to separate grub2/xorg/plymouth/linux though, as I myself rarely know where the difference lies.16:15
jibelmvo, heh, I did exactly the same :)16:15
balloonsyour right.. ubuntu-bug ubuntu doesn't work.. I was supposed to find something for that16:15
balloonswhoops16:15
xnox"package ubuntu does not exist"16:15
bdmurraywell plymouth is 'graphics before login' and xorg is graphics 'during and after login'16:15
jibelmvo, I not sure it really make sense that adt creates averything as root and the top directory permission set to 070016:15
xnoxbdmurray: unless it's compiz or lightdm problem16:16
xnox;-)16:16
bdmurraywell yes but I think xorg and plymouth are better starting points than just xorg16:18
xnoxbdmurray: sure. you know better to be honest =) i was stabbing the darkness trying to stop the flood of ubiquity bugs about $random_packages =))))16:19
bdmurrayoh also all those +filebug links will only work if you are in ubuntu bug control16:20
balloonsyea, adding another data point isn't inhernetly bad.. I don't want to overload people, but we can keep the instructions simple, it will help16:20
balloonsbdmurray, they seem to work fine for me: https://launchpad.net/~nskaggs/+participation16:21
balloonsunless I'm somehow special..16:21
bdmurrayballoons: indeed you are special as a member of ubuntu bug control16:21
bdmurrayoh16:22
bdmurrayfor you it is probably being in ubuntu-drivers then16:23
balloonsbdmurray, ahh.. well, I think you've got the problem now16:25
balloonshow can we achieve the goal?16:25
balloonsI didn't realize the +fileabug was special :-)16:26
bdmurrayin my mind the goal is to get high quality bug reports and the way to do that is to have people report them using apport16:26
bdmurrayso there should be no OR16:27
bdmurrayI realize this is a rather hard line stance and there are cases where people's system won't boot etc but we just get so many low quality bug reports with +filebug being open16:31
balloonsbdmurray, yes I understand that16:32
balloonsso +filebug is closed to most folks?16:33
balloonsI also use that for general testing purposes.. like from a ppa16:33
balloonsor is it only closed for some packages?16:33
bdmurrayballoons: yes, it redirects people to the how to file a bug documentation on help.ubuntu.com16:34
balloonsok, so the links as they are now are re-directs on how to file a bug for most people16:35
bdmurrayyes, which seems odd to me as the chart will have16:35
bdmurray'ubuntu-bug xorg' or a link to a web page that says 'ubuntu-bug xorg'16:36
balloonsok, we need to provide something for folks that have unbootable systems..16:36
balloonsso what's the best way to do that if the system won't boot?16:37
bdmurrayask somebody for help16:37
balloonswe just need proper recommendations for all scenarios16:37
balloonsbdmurray, in some cases it's not booting because of a bug.. I mean, we could ask them to boot an older livecd.. maybe that's just a fringe case to indvidually deal with16:38
bdmurrayyes an older live cd or a previous release if it used to boot16:38
bdmurrayor read documentation about how to boot without splash and kernel options....16:39
bdmurrayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot16:40
balloonsbdmurray, ok, so we'll remove the file-bug links17:57
balloonsand in general force folks to use ubuntu-bug to report.. what if the package is unknown to them? Again should we just remove ubuntu (no package) as an option for reporting?17:58
bdmurrayballoons: then the find the right package documentation may help18:07
balloonsright.. ok, so I made all those changes18:08
bdmurrayballoons: or that documentation might be in the reportingbugs page18:08
bdmurrayballoons: great, thanks!18:08
balloonsthey can always (and they do) ask for help18:08
balloonsthat might be better than the generic filing18:08
balloonsthank you bdmurray :-)18:11
