[04:31] Do the Lubuntu powerpc testers IRC? [05:24] ScottK: yes [05:36] anyone up? [05:36] do you have any mediaplayers in browser after last weeks updates? [06:13] ScottK: I have a Powerbook G4... and am on occasional Lubuntu powerbook tester... [06:13] jmarsden: What I'm really looking for is a Kubuntu powerpc tester. [06:14] Would you be able to take that for a bit of a spin? [06:14] ScottK: I can download an ISO and try a basic install, sure. Anything in particular I am looking for? [06:14] (I asked about Lubuntu because that's the only other desktop flavor with powerpc) [06:15] jmarsden: As many of the test cases as you've got time for. http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/240/builds/25832/testcases [06:15] Even the booting it as a live CD and doing a basic install would be a huge help. [06:15] ScottK: OK, it's 11:15PM here and I have work tomorrow, but I'll try at least one :) [06:16] jmarsden: That's be great. I understand it being late (I'm on the east coast, so I really need to go to bed) [06:17] OK. Download under way... [06:17] Excellent. [06:18] ScottK: Um, that ISO seems to be oversized... I don't think I can boto a DVD on the old powerbook... ?? [06:19] Ah. That would be a problem (as it is oversized) [06:19] I don't suppose it boots to usb either. [06:19] I don't know, I have never tried that. [06:19] I would have thought CD/DVD didn't matter if it could read DVDs, but I confess I didn't try it. [06:20] jmarsden: you have, what, a 12" aluminum powerbook? [06:20] dj_xen: Yes. [06:21] jmarsden: then you're fine booting from dvd. chances are usb will not play nice with you. openfirmware sucks. [06:21] OK, I'll find a DVD-R and try it out that way. [06:21] dvd+rw works too [06:22] Good to know. Thanks dj_xen. [06:22] What I have to hand is about 100 CD-R blanks... I don't generally burn DVDs... but I think I have some somewhere :) [06:23] there's a way to compress the iso [06:23] by removing the 64bit stuff [06:23] but i've had bad luck with it [06:25] we're in luck... found a stack of 20+ DVD+R blanks under a pile of other things... :) [06:34] good morning [06:41] good morning dholbach [06:43] hello.. against which package a bug relating to incomplete language support be filed? [06:46] ganges, if it's a missing translation, file it against the project ubuntu-translations [06:47] if it's an untranslatable string, file it directly against the package [06:48] salut jibel [07:06] jibel: sorry, i was away. I have installed english version and a propmt said, incpmlete lang support. however the end result was 'couldn' [07:07] 'couldn't install full lang support [07:08] ScottK: Booted from DVD fine, gets to splash screen (Kubuntu gear wheel with 5 dots underneath)... then seems to hang, optical drive spins down, alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f1 etc do not do anything, capslock key does toggle its LED. Do you want me to file a bug and officially fail the QA test? [07:18] ganges, ah ok, this bug has been fixed recently. With which image do you have this ? [07:18] desktop, build 20121014 [07:18] ubuntu [07:20] jibel: http://imagebin.org/231994, an image if you want to have a look at [07:22] ganges, hm, and a dbus error :/ language-selector would be the package then [07:23] jibel: thank you for your time and suggestion :) [07:24] yw [07:24] jibel: 'package language-selector doesn't exit' ! :( [07:25] *exist [07:26] ganges, language-selector-gnome maybe [07:27] jibel: seems to work :) === balloons is now known as Guest98741 === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|afk === mmrazik|afk is now known as mmrazik === _salem is now known as salem_ [11:57] jmarsden: Yes.

It never completes an iso. I can wget the ISOs manually, but rsync and zsync called from the dl-ubuntu-test-iso script always seem to hang. [13:51] bladernr_, eh where is that script? Never heard of it [13:52] it's an older script, in ubuntu-qa-tools on LP [13:52] jibel: and some of the older members will know what it is.

[14:26] no, a clean won't clean enough [14:27] still 100megs too large [14:27] from the apt pkg databases [14:37] patdk-wk, so this is still happening on the rc images? [14:38] if so, we should ping the server team about it now [14:38] ya, 630M for amd64, and 530M for i386 [14:38] Wow....That IS a big diff [14:39] testing iscsi now [14:40] hmm, my iscsi boots still fail :( [14:40] :( [14:42] jibel: yeah, I pulled the branch from LP just before I tried using it [14:43] jibel: when I manually zsync, I get this: bladernr@transit:/data/cdimages/dvd$ zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com//dvd/current/quantal-dvd-i386.iso [14:43] #################### 100.0% 852.7 kBps DONE [14:43] Bad line - not a zsync file?

[14:44] it's not :) [14:44] it's called utf8 with random binary [14:44] I thought zsync would, if in an empty dir, just pull the file. [14:44] maybe that's not the case... let me try again in a file that has an existing zsync file [14:44] Uh [14:45] patdk-wk, so I was thinking jeos had some specific requirement.. but they relaxed image sizes this cycle [14:45] balloons, oh? it hasn't been updated on the tracker [14:45] bladernr_, there is no dvd maybe that's the problem, [14:45] patdk-wk, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2012-September/000161.html [14:45] bladernr_, try "dl-ubuntu-test-iso --release=quantal --flavor=ubuntu --variant=desktop" [14:45] does it work ?

That's like 4 months ago...:P [14:47] jibel: I'll retry with the amd64 one that I don't have yet. [14:48] and yeah, it's old but it's there... for now, I'm just trying to sort out the mechanism. and as I said, it did the same thing when pulling the daily-live ISOs as well [14:50] bladernr_, I tried it there and it "Just Works" [14:50] I don't know what this "bad line" error means [14:50] jibel: yeah, figures. [14:51] jibel: I think that's because I was dumb and was using it in the wrong place :-) [14:52] I'll keep playing with it. Just wish zsync had a verbosity setting or a logging facility :( [15:06] hmm, all my iscsi's are failing to boot :( [15:06] patdk-wk, updated your bug [15:06] I did [15:06] Ineed to make a new bug for iscsi though [15:07] the last one I did, we got a few different bugs all mixed up into one [15:07] and then I left, and wasn't able to get it all straightened out before I left === salem_ is now known as _salem [15:21] patdk-wk, so what's up with your iscsi's?

[15:33] I guess I missed it.. anyways [15:36] patdk-wk, what issue are you seeing with iscsi? [15:37] two issues [15:37] iscsi attempts to start before nic are online/setup [15:37] second issue, the iscsi script can't figure out it's target, even though it's in the config correctly [15:37] just got done writing it all up [15:37] bug 1066945 [15:38] Launchpad bug 1066945 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "iSCSI root fails" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1066945 [15:43] * balloons looks [15:48] looks like the testcase info needs to be updated for jeos [15:49] patdk-wk, I'll take a look at that now [15:49] guy replied to my bug report not very good :( [15:49] but it sounds like the new limit is 650MB, though I can't locate any info anywhere to back that up === _salem is now known as salem_ [15:57] patdk-wk, yes.. [15:57] jamespage, is the new limit for install sizes documented anywhere? ^^ [15:58] balloons, the MP for the server documentation just got updated [15:58] pushed rather [16:00] patdk-wk, a fix for the " iscsistart: TargetName not set. Exiting iscsistart" problem is in quantal-proposed [16:00] that seems it would be half the issue, let me see if I can get that added [16:02] patdk-wk, open-iscsi is a bit broken as it stands - the initator name was not getting generated on install [16:02] only on first boot [16:02] which never happens cause its broken on install [16:02] ya I filed bugs on that a long time ago [16:03] cause initiator name is important for me to know, during install [16:03] it's a total pain to say, this client is allowed for the install, then have to go back and change it after the install to it's now new name [16:03] let alone hunting for it both times [16:07] patdk-wk, you are talking about the 'feature' where the install initiator name is different to the installed system initiator name right? [16:07] ya [16:07] patdk-wk, please point me at the bug - we should try to fix that next release [16:08] balloons, the minimal install is now in the docs at 700MB - but that covers both amd64 and i386 [16:09] the automated testing has some headroom for whats not normally installed for a stock jeos install [16:09] bug 924583 [16:09] Launchpad bug 924583 in partman-iscsi (Ubuntu) "iscsi install initiator name" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/924583 [16:10] :( [16:10] totally can't remember/figure out how to use purposed during install [16:10] and google isn't helping :( [16:11] software sources, enable proposed [16:11] ahh your on server [16:11] hmm? attempting from the installation iso cli [16:12] quantal-proposed is the repo [16:12] that much I do know :) [16:12] patdk-wk, it should be on the next set of ISO's [16:13] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-proposed [16:13] ya, but I can't locate an apt sources file anywhere [16:13] so can't add it [16:15] would you be able to install, then boot using cd, shell into install and fix [16:15] then reboot/ [16:17] patdk-wk, so is this the testcase that needs updated? http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1445/revisions/375/info [16:18] njin, http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/testcases/1337/info it looks correct here [16:18] did something get missed copying it over?

I can edit them somehow? [16:22] patdk-wk, there's actually a team of folks that help out maintaining the cases [16:22] some of the server testcases are simply pure migrations from the old wiki [16:23] would have said something about that needed changing, but didn't know it was changed :) [16:24] here's the info on the team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/TestCaseAdmins [16:24] guess I will need to wait for new iso, I totally don't get how to install via purposed during install [16:24] know I did it many releases ago, natty? [16:24] you don't have to join the team to help work on testcases though.. you can help verify and test or write a case.. [16:25] atleast I know who to file bugs to, that helps [16:27] see the 'report a bug against the content of this testcase' [16:30] ah, must be new since the layout change [16:30] ok, new openiscsi installed [16:31] patdk-wk, indeed.. so, yes I would love your help in shaping up the cases [16:32] patdk-wk, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/TestCaseFormat lists the format for testcases.. basically if you want to edit / revamp any cases that need it just follow the format posted.

[17:37] as long as it doesn`t sink [17:41] upgrading the last netbook, bye Precise [17:43] evrytime I feel a sense of nostalgy and seems to me that i'm offending the old release, I loved them one by one [17:44] :-*( [17:45] yeah, we de leave them behind [17:45] 12.04 will live a long time on servers at least [17:45] but is also true that they are pieces of my great love, Ubuntu... [17:46] some desktops too [17:47] but if there ever is to be an Ubuntu in the future, it has to be renewed and updated [17:47] ah, yes. step by step [17:48] I`m not sure how it works, but every time there is a new kernel, it is launched to fix problems, but with it comes a major mess to clean up [17:49] there is a lot to say for a longterm release too [17:49] think of xp [17:49] new kernel fix problem and implement newest devices [17:50] do you remember how windows 95 and 98 worked? [17:50] they worked? [17:50] lol [17:50] win8 is egual [17:50] with xp and the new file system, they stayed with it, and it ran better than ever after a couple of years [17:51] sure xp was a big step beyond respect 98 [17:51] but win 8 is stupid referred to quantal [17:51] imho [17:51] now windows 8 is released [17:52] I was more comparing precise to xp [17:52] yeah, quantal is good, I am installing quantal on my hp as soon as I get it back [17:53] percise has the usability of xp with the latest tecnologies inside [17:53] njin: you mean the new desktop environment is compared ? [17:53] xp lasted a long time [17:54] with 3 major SP [17:54] xp still the best windows system [17:55] maybe, but windows 7 has been much the same here [17:56] * patdk-wk wants a backport of grub from quantal to precise :) [17:56] I stop to use win starting from feisty (xp times), so I don't know about 7 [17:56] I tried to do one, but way too many adjustments :( [17:56] patdk-wk, you like grub 2 eh?
