mvojibel: hi, I was looking at the adt output and something looks a bit suspicious http://paste.ubuntu.com/1196352/ - are you aware of this? in the software-center ouptut09:44
=== mmrazik|lunch is now known as mmrazik
jibelmvo, Hey, am I aware of the failure of s-c tests or "chmod: cannot access `/var/crash/*': No such file or directory" ?11:53
jibelthe latter uses || true so it is not fatal if there is no crash file11:54
=== _salem is now known as salem_
mvojibel: hm, ok, odd, it seems to exit with exit-code 4 before actually running any tests12:21
jibelmvo, I believe it is because the script is run with -x, output goes to stderr and is  considered as a failure per dep8 spec.12:25
jibelmvo, it is pure speculation and unverified12:25

silverarrowis anyone on lubuntu here?21:02
silverarrowoh, sorry, wrong room21:02
phillwsilverarrow: well, I am here, but #lubuntu is the best channel :)21:07
silverarrowarguably21:08
phillwhe he, else use the QA Mailng list if it is QA / Bug related.21:09
phillw*L-QA*21:09
phillwsilverarrow: wxl and unit193 appear as on-line21:11
silverarrowI suddenly had gnome mplayer steaming the local tv channel here21:20
silverarrownot sure why it worked but it did21:20
silverarrowI messed it up though21:21
silverarrowI had installed Totem to see if it was any difference21:22
silverarrowit wasn`t really21:23
silverarrowI could open gnome mplayer trough double finger clicking on the  black totem screen21:24
silverarrowthat is how I discovered it suddenly worked21:24
silverarrownot sure why it did now, because I had tried before21:25
silverarrowI got the idea to get gnome mplayer back to default player in browser21:25
silverarrowand ruined the whole thing21:25
silverarrownow there are no player in browser at all21:25
silverarrow!"#ยค%&/(21:25
phillwhmm.. well there is an old saying... "If it ain't broken, don't try and fix it".21:27
phillwsilverarrow: can you repeat the experiment?21:28
silverarrowwell it was a bit cumbersom setup21:28
silverarrowi have to don`t I21:29
phillwdetail everything!21:29
silverarrowI am not a wizz like you21:29
silverarrowI use package manager lol21:29
phillwsilverarrow: I'm no wizz, I assure you. Just write down everything you do. It may be of help to the devs, as they can put traces on as to what the steps do.21:30
silverarrowand I call on lasall for help21:30
silverarrowand you21:30
silverarrowI have been on this for ages21:31
silverarrowIt`s just that I had a feeling it was sooooo close to working21:31
phillweven if they cannot get too much info from it; you have a proposed work around, which is always good until a bug is squished.21:32
balloonsrepeatability is the key21:32
balloonsif you can repeat it, it's much easier to understand and fix21:32
silverarrow I know what I have done sort of21:32
phillwsilverarrow: say hello to the boss of QA :)21:32
silverarrowwhich apps and packages I have installed21:32
silverarrowhi balloons21:33
phillwsilverarrow: detail everything you do, on a per click basis. It will be a long list; but it must have EVERYTHING detailed in it.21:33
silverarrowoh21:34
silverarrowI see21:34
phillwevery letter, which sites etc.21:34
silverarrowI shall do that21:34
balloonsphillw, lol21:34
balloonssilverarrow, hello21:34
silverarrowgetting gnome player to work would be a big plus for ppc linux21:35
phillwballoons: silverarrow is a new member of Lubuntu testing, you saw him last when we 'kidnapped' this channel for the ppc testing session.21:35
balloonsyes I remember21:36
silverarrowI think the issue can be related to identification or handeling of different codecs21:41
phillwsilverarrow: I've got be honest... I'm not a fan of g-media player. I use VLC as it installs with the codecs. This is not allowed under *buntu as some codecs are not open source. did you install the lubuntu-restricted-extras package before you installed totem, etc? This is the information the devs do need.21:44
silverarrowwell, I would be happy with vlc too, if it worked21:46
silverarrowit just doesn`t21:46
phillwsilverarrow: so, you seem to have the best option... just don't break it again :P21:47
silverarrowyes, all conceivable packages and extras21:47
silverarrowhowever, the totem install must have done something21:47
* silverarrow is of to reinstall totem packages21:48
phillwsilverarrow: indeed it must. So write everything down, including when you go to make a cup of coffee. It has to be repeatable21:48
silverarrowI wonder why gnone mplayer has to be on top of totem to stream though ?21:48
phillwsilverarrow: that is  not for us to work out... that's why we have devs :D21:49
silverarrowlubuntu ppc has a life of it`s own21:50
silverarrownot even the devs have a clue21:50
phillwfor bug hunting, they are like Johnny 5 .... need input :D21:50
silverarrowlol21:50
phillwsilverarrow: Julien runs ppc under a VM, it is he who wrote up the qemu stuff for the testing page. You guys with that actual hardware have to give the devs every scrap of information you have.21:52
silverarrowI am always very impressed by these guys21:57
phillwthey are a part of makes ubuntu, but they freely say that if it were not for the testers, releases would not happen.21:59
phillwwe are a family, each doing their best.21:59
silverarrowand it works !!!!!21:59
silverarrowmaybe it is the totem mozilla plugin that works and gnome sort of works through totem?22:01
silverarrowI know some of the mozilla plugin packages are broken for ppc22:02
silverarrowlike gnash22:02
silverarrowI will happily do testing22:03
silverarrowthese old ppcs, take a minute to boot22:04
silverarrowthe new ones like 18 seconds22:04
phillwindeed, can you post up what you did to L-QA mailing list so the other ppc testers can confirm, thanks.22:05
silverarrowoh yes, the mailing list, I don`t think I ever got on it22:06
phillwsilverarrow: at the point of ppc's we are not attempting to break world records of fastest booting computer :D22:06
silverarrowno lol22:06
phillwsilverarrow: join https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa22:06
silverarrowI am not bothered by one minute though22:07
phillwi'll approve as soon as it arrives on my system.22:07
silverarrowthere22:09
silverarrowubuntu can`t be any worse than debian really22:10
phillwsilverarrow: 2blue?22:10
silverarrowyes22:10
phillwapproved22:10
silverarrowI registered ages ago, and sort of forgot about it22:10
silverarrowthen when I returned to ubuntu i registered on irc, not even thinking about any connection22:11
phillwjoin the mailing list, QA is not that busy a listing but it is the haunt of ppc people22:11
silverarrowand I got tired of the 2blue nick lol22:11
phillwthe devs are also on that list, so we can directly flag them when needed.22:12
silverarrowmy name is arild22:12
phillw*L-QA*22:12
phillwI saw at the application, hence my asking if it was the correct person :)22:13
silverarrowis there a way for me to have my name in stead of the old nick?22:15
silverarrownever mind, not that important22:15
phillwsilverarrow: you can change your https://launchpad.net/~arild-lindseth name by begging on the #launchpad channel (I use begging loosely, but you do have to ask really nicely and be patient).22:28
silverarrowI will22:29
silverarrowthanks22:29
phillwas you only have one registered channel, they should be able to do it. You would then need to re apply for L-QA membership from what I understand of how it all works. Let them know I am okay with that.22:30
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
silverarrowdo I post my findings on gnome mplayer on the mailinglist ?22:40
silverarrowis that the correct use of it I mean?22:41
phillwsilverarrow: yes please. How did you get on with #launchpad?22:41
silverarrowI just logged in22:41
silverarrowI made an account ages go22:41
silverarrownot using it that much really22:42
silverarrowthere used to be more bugs then I think22:42
phillwsilverarrow: posting up test results that cannot be fully put into a bug report is a perfect way of honing the bug down. Once it has been refined, a bug report can be raised.22:42
silverarrowshould I address it to one of the ppc guys?22:43
silverarrowwhich of them care about ppc and mplayer?22:43
phillwnope, L-QA is a small mailing list, just title it as PPC and mplayer so the PPC guys know it is more important to them.22:44
phillwsilverarrow: we're currently at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing#Reporting_Bugs22:44
phillwA bug will have to be raised once we are settled on it and it can be repeated.22:45
silverarrowI can`t really22:45
silverarrowI am happy to test though as soon as I can install22:45
silverarrowfor the 12.10 version22:45
silverarrowI have the 1.0.6 packages of gnome and gecko, but I am still in 12.0422:46
silverarrowthe testing was live cd earlier22:46
phillwthat is why I said to email up your findings so the other testers can have a 'play' with it :)22:47
silverarrowand I don`t think the installer bug has been fixed,22:48
silverarrowI am rather eager to install the 12.10 beta22:48
silverarrowI totally ditched osx and went for lubuntu22:49
silverarrownot many does that22:49
silverarroweven on ppc22:49
silverarrowoh, of course22:50
phillwsilverarrow: the installer bugs both fell on about the same day, two different bugs; both were killers. We were unfortunate that two critical bugs took out the same architecture. My friend, I assure you that we went beyond the absolute time cut off before we had to say we did not a have a ppc for Beta 1.22:51
phillwBut, as the boss said... it is only Beta 1, we have a Beta2 coming up at end of month & there is a commitment to squish both. In two - three days of them both landing, we simply ran out of time.22:52
phillwthe installer bugs are both critical, and are being treated as such.22:54
silverarrowI see23:22
silverarrowbeta 2 should be sufficient hopefully23:22
silverarrowthere is no way about the installer bug?23:22
phillwsilverarrow: the x.org one does not appear what was 1st thought.23:29
phillwsomething changed that affected the hardware but not the VM's. This is why it is so critical for you with the hardware to detail stuff up for the devs.23:30
phillwThere is no doubt it is a regression, but on what... we need to find out.23:31
phillwalpha 3 installed okay. Beta 1 does not, so something got majorly broken.23:33
phillwballoons: btw, what is the word on switching from milestone to cadence testing?23:34
