jbichahey, is https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/quantal-changes/2012-October/011790.html something that needs to land in Edubuntu before release18:25
jbichaI'm a bit confused by the description but it sounds like it won't migrate quantal users who have already logged in to GNOME Classic18:27
stgraberjbicha: it sounds like it needs to be in the archive before release, yes18:27
stgraberjbicha: it doesn't need to be on a media though, so as long as it's a 0-day SRU and is published in -updates by the time we release, we'll be good18:27
jbichawhat if somebody installs from the CD and logs in to GNOME Classic before applying updates?18:28
stgraberjbicha: I'm not sure and I don't have time to look into this (nor time to respin anyway), but my understanding is that it's only touching the migration code, is that incorrect?18:34
jbichaI haven't tested yet18:37
jbichaGNOME Classic with effects has been broken in quantal since the gsettings switch and it just sounded from the changelog like the fix doesn't work right for existing quantal users18:38
stgraberlivecd/ubiquity/target-config/60edubuntu-default-session:        chroot /target /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --session gnome-fallback || true18:39
stgraberso not a problem, we don't use classic, we use fallback18:39
stgraberas classic was indeed busted for beta2 and I got bored and hardcoded fallback everywhere18:39
stgraber(according to the chngelog ;))18:39
jbichaok, maybe less of an issue, but with effects is still on your image18:39
stgraberyeah, at least users won't be getting it by default, so 0-day SRU is fine18:40
jbichaok, so Edubuntu 12.04 uses Unity by default but 12.10 uses Fallback?18:40
stgraberdefault for desktop is Unity, default for LTSP is fallback18:40
stgraberand we have an installer option to use fallback18:40
jbichaok18:40
stgraberonly way you get classic is by choosing it at login time18:41
highvoltageedubuntu 12.04 uses unity 2d by default for ltsp and 12.10 uses fallback by default for ltsp. both use 3d by default18:41
stgraberideally I'd want to switch to classic for 13.04 assuming it's all fixed once the new compiz lands18:41
jbichaand are you aware that GNOME plans to kill Fallback, probably for GNOME 3.8?18:41
stgraber(but keep unity as the default for desktop, just replace fallback by classic)18:41
stgraberyeah, I heard of the plans and they suck but we can't do much about it...18:41
jbichaand by killing, they mean removing support in gnome-settings-daemon and other places18:42
jbichaI'm thinking Ubuntu will still with gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-control-center 3.6 next cycle so Classic may still be ok for 13.0418:42
jbichahere's the meta bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68285818:43
ubottuGnome bug 682858 in general "[meta] Remove fallback support code" [Normal,Unconfirmed]18:43
stgraberyeah, at this point I'm trying to ignore what's going on with the desktop stuff and focus on the server side of things where things at least go on the right direction...18:44
stgraberit looks like to me that gnome upstream is extremely successful at getting rid of their users, the problem is, I don't feel like shipping a second full desktop environment either, so I'm not sure what we'll end up shipping for 14.04...18:45
highvoltagestgraber: is it normal behaviour that a language other than english prompts for folder name changes on first login?19:30
highvoltage(seems a bit odd)19:30
highvoltage(and I only got it on i386 (so far))19:31
stgraberhighvoltage: that part of nautilus/xdg-dirs is racy, we've seen a few reports where you get duplicate entries or badly translated ones, ...19:31
highvoltagehmm, and it seems to be telling me that my langpack downloads are incomplete. perhaps that's part of it.19:31
highvoltageoh and it popped up 3 more times, eish19:31
stgraberoh, showing up multiple times is a first though :)19:32
highvoltageis simplified chinese last one or second last item on the isolinux menu?19:32
stgraberthe one with the least strokes19:32
highvoltageok19:33
stgraberI never remember the order, I just look for the "simple" one :)19:33
highvoltage(it's the second-last one, ftr)19:34
highvoltagestgraber: do those test cases get parsed by anything (I notice you added my name and date, I'll continue to do the same)19:36
stgraberhighvoltage: they get parsed by me when I'm tired, so properly aligned and following the format defined in the header is a good way of reducing my reading time ;)19:40
stgraber19:40 < stgraber> highvoltage: they get parsed by me when I'm tired, so properly aligned and following the format defined in the header is a good way of reducing my19:41
stgraber                  reading time ;)19:41
highvoltagestgraber: I got your message before my container died, at least :)19:42
stgraberok :)19:42
highvoltage(I keep running into this strange bug where if my lxc package updates, half of my containers die, and then around 2 minutes later, the other half)19:42
highvoltage(so I kind of knew it was coming as my irc session was in the second batch :p)19:42
alkisghighvoltage: when creating the greek live CDs I noticed I had to run `locale-gen --purge` somewhere at the bottom of the process so that the chinese locales were removed and didn't cause the "langpack incomplete" prompts later on19:43
alkisgRemoving the pt or es locales works fine, but there's a bug somewhere in removing the chinese ones19:43
alkisgAnd it's not cleanly removed, and locale-gen --purge is required etc etgc19:43
alkisg`locale -a` after a non-chinese installation should demonstrate the problem....19:44
highvoltagealkisg: maybe that has something to do with there being an ubuntu chinese edition where there's some specific stuff for that19:47
alkisgYeah it's special-cased in some areas of the installation process19:47
stgraberhighvoltage: doing greek amd64 in oem with encrypted home now19:48
highvoltageI'm doing simplified chinese but just a straight install since I don't want to risk clicking on something and not knowing what it means19:49
highvoltage(although chinese isn't as well translated as french)19:49
* alkisg won't even ask if the greek keyboard is working in 12.10, he's certain that it's still broken... :-/19:49
stgraberhighvoltage: can you borrow a machine for dvd testing on your side?20:08
stgraberhighvoltage: I can do usb testing but I don't have any drive or blank media here20:08
highvoltageyep20:11
highvoltageI'll write it to DVD here and then install at home on mac mini / lg laptop20:13
stgraberhighvoltage: are you testing 20121017.1 at the moment? if so, can you also post results to iso.qa.ubuntu.com (no need for details, I just want to get the count roughly right)20:14
highvoltagestgraber: yes, I synced right before testing20:15
highvoltagewill do20:15
stgraberwow, it's always so weird to install in arabic...20:15
highvoltageiso tracker seems a bit slow atm.20:17
stgraberyeah, that usually happens around release... some results took over 30s to post here20:18
stgraberI'll need to look at better indexing for a few fields20:18
highvoltagewhat happens? does the db get hit real hard?20:18
highvoltageor is it on a host with other stuff?20:18
stgraberit's running on its own server (quadcore xeon). Seems like mostly IO bound and postgres not being properly tweaked20:20
stgraberI have 5GB of free memory so it's a bit weird seeing the DB being so slow20:20
stgraberI'd need to do some tweaks to postgres/apache but I first need to replicate the load issues on staging and then ask IS to update the config, so it takes time... :(20:21
stgrabermy current guess is that the query looking for bug history is taking quite long to parse the LP bug table and that I need some better indexes on that stuff20:23
stgraberdoh, yeah, found the problem, the LP bug table isn't indexed by bugnumber...20:23
stgraberhighvoltage: added the index, you should see a huge speed difference20:33
highvoltagestgraber: cool20:35
stgraberjust testing wubi on i386 then will mark that one as ready too22:11
stgraberand then will go to bed :)22:12
