Riddellhi15:03
skaetwe're entering the final push of bug fixes before we go into final freeze next Tuesday.15:03
seb128skaet, (desktop -> I'm back from holidays so didrocks->-seb128)15:04
skaetThanks seb,  sorry about that on the summary.15:04
seb128(np ;-)15:04
skaetany other corrections or additons to the list of status?15:04
skaetDaviey,  are you covering for arosales this week?15:04
skaethmm... while we wait to hear from Daviey (and find out if there are any concerns on the server side)15:05
skaetwant to know if anyone else has concerns not in the weekly status already they want to bring up?15:06
skaetkey bug fixes needed,  etc.?15:06
Davieyskaet: yes15:06
skaetThanks Daviey,   what's on the radar to land between now and Final Freeze?   anything critical?15:06
RiddellI've had a mysterious report of installs not finishing which I can't recreate - bug 106218015:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1062180 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Quantal) "Ubiquity won't finish installation" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106218015:07
Davieyskaet: I would be expecting at least one more maas upload (on cd), and various openstack uploads (archive only)15:07
DavieyThere are a few bugs being caught at the moment, which are a little nasty15:08
skaetok.   we have mozilla decision (and possible upload)  on Tuesday next week.   Can you avoid it?15:08
skaetie.  can we get the maas issues mostly landed by EOD monday?15:09
skaetDaviey, ^?15:11
Davieyskaet: unlikely15:12
Davieyskaet: I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple of smallish things still trickling in towards the end of the week15:12
skaetDaviey, we're spinning release candidates up on Thursday, so SRU time after tuesday (Final Freeze),  unless they are release critical.15:13
Davieyright!15:13
skaet..15:13
Daviey(thanks)15:13
Laneyis freeipmi in a position to be MIRed?15:14
skaetplars, have you seen any sign of bug Riddell mentions?15:14
LaneyDaviey: ^15:14
* plars looks15:14
plarsdoesn't sound familiar15:14
skaetRiddell,  anyone else able to confirm it?15:14
plarsI just finished up an amd64 installation a few minutes ago, and I know psivaa has done some this morning also, but we'll keep an eye out for it15:15
skaet(and yeah if there is something weird going on, and its common,  nows the time to know ;) )15:15
Riddellskaet: xnox had no initial ideas15:15
skaetthanks plars.  :)15:15
jibelplars, Riddell skaet sounds like bug 105961915:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1059619 in grub-installer (Ubuntu Quantal) "Installation hangs on: grub-mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/os-prober/mount" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105961915:15
Riddelljibel: mm could be, I'll pass that to the reporter15:16
skaetthanks jibel,  Riddell15:17
skaet..15:17
plarsjibel: you have a reliable way to reproduce?15:17
jibelplars, yes my 2 laptops15:17
DavieyLaney: it was in progress, checking state.. Needed one more fix.15:18
Daviey(I'm sure it will be fixed today)15:20
Daviey..15:20
Laneyok, just wondering as that component mismatch has been around for quite some time ..15:21
Daviey.. but not forgot.15:21
skaetogra_, plars - how are the arm desktop and server test results looking?15:22
ogra_pretty good i think15:22
plarsI'm looking at desktop right now15:23
plarsabout to take a look at server15:23
* ogra_ doesnt expect any regressions15:23
ogra_it will be as speedy and blingy as it was in beta on desktop :)15:24
plarsI was just discussing an audio issue, and a keyboard issue with ogra_ but nothing affecting installation on desktop at the moment15:24
plarsfor server, I had an issue with the keyboard not working at all, and I know that some people have reported that their hdmi monitor doesn't work on install with -server15:24
plarsmine works though15:24
skaetplars,  thanks.   Can you send an update to your weekly status that summarizes the results of the testing on arm after you finish looking?  Want to make sure we all have a clean picture of what should be good, and what needs to be release noted.15:24
plarsskaet: yep15:24
skaetthanks plars!  :)15:24
ogra_plars, yeah, as paolo just said, kbd should be fixed ... wrt HDMI i would blame the monitors15:24
* Daviey doesn't write regressive code.15:24
* ogra_ knows there are still a few that dont work with the driver due to broken EDIDs15:25
ogra_..15:25
skaet..15:25
skaetseb128,  are we likely to get a fix for fontconfig in next day or so,  so we can put ubuntu medium font back in?15:26
seb128skaet, not that I know about, we don't have anyone in desktop who knows about fonts/fontconfig15:27
seb128not sure if foundation,slangasek is looking at that15:27
Laneythere's a fontconfig fix needed?15:27
ogra_longstanding ...15:27
seb128Laney, the libreoffice issue seems to be a fontconfig issue15:27
* skaet nods15:27
seb128 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=3873715:28
LaneyI thought somebody worked around that in the font itself15:28
slangasekseb128: we don't have anyone in foundations who knows about fontconfig either15:28
seb128(slangasek, sorry, I keep thinking  (wrongly) that you maintain fontconfig as well as freetype in Debian which is why I listed your name ;-)15:29
slangasek:)15:29
seb128Laney, who is working on the font?15:29
skaetpopey,  is thre anyone in your organization that can help here?15:29
seb128Laney, well, Sweetshark wrote:15:29
seb128"15:29
seb128this seems not to be an issue in LibreOffice, but in fontconfig. If I read that15:29
seb128bug right, it would need to be fixed either in fontconfig or workarounded in15:29
seb128the Ubuntu font itself, but not in LibreOffice." "15:29
popeyskaet, we had one guy looking at it, but unfortunately had vacation before he could get to the bottom of it15:30
seb128Laney, skaet: I've no clue who is in charge of the font or could "workaround in the font itself" there15:30
slangasekseems to me that this should be reverted in the font then15:30
popeythen it was passed to Sweetshark to investigate15:30
slangasekit seems very unlikely we're going to fix it on the software side before release15:30
popeywe have nobody internally who can work directly on the font - we have to contact DM15:30
seb128popey, yeah, Sweetshark concluded that there is nothing libreoffice could do there15:30
popeyyeah15:30
seb128and he has been fighting lo-appmenu stuff the whole week15:30
slangasekpopey: is there a compelling reason NOT to revert the medium change?15:31
popeyyes, he's busy, we were lucky to get a slice of him15:31
Laneyslangasek: it already has been15:31
slangasekoh, then what's still outstanding for the release?15:31
Laneyputting it back15:31
slangasekI thought this was only about the medium-weight font15:31
popeywe would like it in, that's all15:31
skaettrying to get all the bugs fixed.15:31
seb128slangasek, I think the sabdfl was pushing on the bug for us to resolve the issues and restore the font15:31
slangasekah15:31
popeythat's right15:31
seb128I'm not sure how unhappy he and others are going to be if that's not the case...15:32
seb128..15:32
skaetpopey,  will you take it up with your management and see if we can come up with other options for getting this sorted?15:33
popeyyup15:33
skaetThanks popey15:33
Laneyone second15:33
Laneyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/105420415:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1054204 in ubuntu-font-family-sources (Ubuntu Quantal) "Libreoffice chooses incorrect font weight" [Undecided,Confirmed]15:33
LaneyThat's the bug with the workaround15:33
Laneybut I understand that we don't have the preferred form for modification for the font, so the change had to be done some other way15:34
Laney..!15:36
skaetLaney,  that looks to me like the workaround could be applied,  and we'd get by this impass.   Am I missing something?>15:36
seb128we should probably defer to next cycle at this point15:37
Laneyskaet: I think he did some binary hacking to do it15:37
Laneyit's not really very satisfactory15:37
seb128hey rickspencer315:37
rickspencer3hey seb12815:37
Laneyseb128: yeah, if that's an option then we should indeed15:37
seb128I was asking rickspencer3 how problematic that is if we don't get the font in quantal15:37
Laneywe fixed the Qt side at least15:37
rickspencer3hi15:38
Laneyahoy15:38
skaetrickspencer3, opinion?15:38
seb128right, progress, it doesn't seem likely the libreoffice issue will be sorted out soon though...15:38
rickspencer3I think it would be a shame not to include it after all that was invested in it, but it doesn't sound ready15:38
Laneyperhaps mirv could enlighten us about his fix15:38
Laneyit does seem a bit sad that we're not really able to modify the font15:38
rickspencer3skaet, does that help?15:39
skaetrickspencer3, yes it doesn't sound ready.   Any thoughts on ways we can get it ready in next few days?15:40
rickspencer3skaet, not really, it just sounds too late to get it integrated15:40
rickspencer3if it's not working with Libre Office when we drop it in, it just seems like we need to move on to release without it15:40
skaetrickspencer3, ok.  putting it on the shelf then for R,  rather than introducing bugs into quantal.15:41
skaet..15:41
rickspencer3if we start going around fixing this, fixing that, I fear we will get a cascade of knock on regressions15:41
* skaet nods15:41
rickspencer3this would distract us from perhaps fixing critical bugs15:41
rickspencer3sorry15:41
rickspencer3I just think we need to move on15:41
skaet..?15:41
rickspencer3(sorry to the people who worked hard on it and are passionate about it, I mean)15:42
popeysorry, asked pmcgowan to join us15:42
popeypmcgowan, feeling is introducing this back in means we divert focus from other critical bugs right now.. and we don't have a fix for this, and no obvious way to get one15:43
DavieyDid i missunderstand that it sounds like we have a solution, but involves uploading binary modification..  Is this not a reasonable stop-gap?15:43
seb128is that a solution or a workaround?15:44
seb128how confident are we that there are not going to be other issues?15:45
seb128to me it just seems reality late and we might need to focus the resources on blocker issues next week15:45
seb128..15:45
pmcgowansorry to arrive late15:46
pmcgowanbest result would be to fomrulate a real fix for LO or fontconfig once and for all15:46
pmcgowando you feel the current symptom is critical enough to not ship with?15:47
Laneywe "just" don't have the medium weight15:47
LaneyI think it's fine to defer15:47
pmcgowanwould we add the font back in SRU with a fix to LO?15:48
Laneyit's not LO that needs to be fixed, but fontconfig15:48
pmcgowanfine15:48
LaneyI'm not sure that is something the SRU team would accept though15:49
Laneyslangasek can maybe comment15:49
seb128pmcgowan, do you think it's important? SRU worth?15:49
pmcgowanthere are elements of the UI which never were able to match design because of this, and seems to me an issue that could be resolevd safely by SRU15:50
rickspencer3it's nice that our quality situation is such that we can consider changes like this at this late game, but realistically, there are still other moving parts15:51
slangasekLaney: I think it would have to be a sadfl in to do it as an SRU15:51
pmcgowanyou all know the history, its been 2 years and no fix to fontconfig15:51
rickspencer3I think introducing this is too much churn15:51
slangasekbecause that's not sanely regression-testable15:51
rickspencer3let's ensure that we fix this properly in 13.10, get it banked early in 13.10, and move on15:52
Laney13.04? :-)15:52
rickspencer3dang it15:52
rickspencer3lol15:52
skaet:)15:52
rickspencer3yeah15:52
Laneyfine. Speaking of moving on:15:52
Laney..15:52
pmcgowanoh well15:52
skaetThanks all,  I think we have our plan for 12.10 and this issue, unless sabdfl wants to weigh in.15:53
skaet..15:53
skaetanyone else have other critical bug issues to bring up to discuss before I end the meeting?15:54
skaetjust want to say thank you to everyone involved for all the hard work and passion on getting 12.04 ready.15:55
smartboyhwskaet, did you say anything wrong? 12.10 right?15:55
