darkxstjbicha, so we will need to respin iso00:02
darkxstjbicha, so we need this http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~darkxst/junk/iso-build-efi/revision/2900:17
everaldodarkxst, with this we don't need the .signed right?00:18
darkxstI expect so, but havent tested that00:18
nathaneltitaneback00:19
everaldodarkxst, why not just use th #28 from jbicha ? so we will be more like all other flavors?00:19
darkxsteveraldo, this fixes the wont boot at all issue (no grub)00:19
nathaneltitanedarkxst: indeed ^^00:19
darkxsteveraldo, I dont think the official images have the signed file either?00:20
nathaneltitanethey do00:20
everaldohumm, when it happens?00:20
darkxstwhen the efi firmware can't read ISO9660, it wont boot at all00:21
darkxstISO9660 is not part of the efi spec, and only some firmware include the driver00:21
darkxstanyway if the official builds have .signed file, then keep r2800:22
darkxstbut we still need to add the commands to geniso00:22
darkxstif you run 'dempet -i iso' you will see our current images are missing the efi boot entry00:24
nathaneltitanedarkxst: i also suggest you respin with the newest ubiquity: it hangs for some reason, randomly00:24
nathaneltitaneupdating under live and then installing fixed it00:24
darkxstdo you have bug #?00:24
nathaneltitaneneed to file00:24
nathaneltitanecan'y find the bug list for this project.. link??00:24
darkxstwell if they updated it, there must be a bug00:24
darkxstwe use the ubuntu bug tracker00:25
darkxstsince all our packages are in the archive anyway00:25
nathaneltitane#105947300:26
nathaneltitanei think00:26
nathaneltitanesimilar ones show up with hangs at different stages of the install00:26
nathaneltitanemine was fairly early on00:26
everaldodarkxst, with #29 it still working on non efi systems?00:26
darkxsteveraldo, yes00:29
darkxsteveraldo, vmware efi boots fine without .signed, however I don't know if it was actually effected00:53
darkxstsince it can't boot the released image at all ...00:53
darkxstwe probably need this also https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.12.1501:08
everaldodarkxst, also, it is not working on macs :(01:23
everaldobrb, need to reboot01:25
jbichadarkxst: see my latest comment on bug 106947501:28
ubot5Launchpad bug 1069475 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "grub fails to boot unsigned kernel" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106947501:28
everaldook, our efi works on mac01:31
everaldoafter #2801:32
everaldobut.. not with mac using Nvidia01:32
everaldothat because our xorg  don't works when using "nomodeset"01:32
everaldo:(01:32
jbichaeveraldo: presumably that would fail with the flagship Ubuntu image too, right?01:36
everaldojbicha, I am going to test it now01:36
everaldoalso going to test amd64+mac01:37
jbichaeveraldo: is your friend that you were talking about yesterday with the boot problems arvicolinae or is that someone else?01:37
everaldono, he is Enrico Spinetta01:37
jbichaok, can y'all please file the bug and give as much detail as possible about your hardware?01:38
everaldojbicha, his bug is already fixed with #2801:38
everaldonow I am testing 3 different machines01:38
everaldoone normal PC with and without EFI01:39
jbicharight, but according to http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/10/21/%23ubuntu-release.html that may not be the right fix01:39
everaldoa Mac with Intel video board01:39
jbichaso please report and we'll follow up tomorrow to try to figure things out better01:39
everaldojbicha, why not? Ubuntu uses the same approach01:40
everaldoyes, I am collenting information... right now, the only problem is the machine with nvidia and efi, is the only hardware that don't works with #2801:40
jbichaor you're welcome to follow up with slangasek and the others yourself if you like since you actually have efi hardware nearby01:40
everaldojbicha, but I will collect as much information as I can tonight01:41
everaldoand fill a bug report or maillist01:41
jbichaI believe they expect grub2 boot with efi to work w/o that signed kernel thing as long as secure boot isn't enabled01:41
everaldojbicha, do you know someone with secure boot machine?01:43
jbichaeveraldo: nope, I've never seen one01:46
everaldome neither01:47
* everaldo needed another usb stick, 4 is not enought right now :)01:47
everaldos/needed/needs/01:48
darkxstjbicha, my r29 fixes a different issue anyway, i.e. grub not booting at all on some efi firmware's02:10
darkxstjbicha, my r29 fixes a different issue anyway, i.e. grub not booting at all on some efi firmware's02:13
darkxstwhich includes vmware efi and what ever nathaneltitane has02:13
everaldohumm, interesting the ubuntu amd64+mac iso is just a normal ubuntu but without efi02:14
darkxstoh probably it uses the 'windows mode'02:15
everaldoyes02:16
everaldobut we don't need it02:17
everaldothe issue with efi/ubuntu/mac was fixed long time ago02:17
everaldodarkxst, with #28 and #29 I got better results here02:17
everaldoand only one machine don't works properly, the mac+efi+nvidia02:17
everaldopc+bios - ok02:18
everaldopc+efi - ok02:18
everaldomac+bios+intel - ok02:18
darkxstyeh, the changes in r29 make the boot records the same as ubuntu images (bios + efi)02:18
everaldomac+bios+nvidia - fail02:18
darkxstpresumably the ubuntu images also fail?02:19
everaldodon't know, it is what I am testing now02:20
everaldoand tomorow I will test on a pc+bios+nvidia just to be sure02:20
everaldoI don't have one here02:20
jbichayeah, maybe you guys should follow up on the issue as I believe you understand it better than I do02:21
everaldojbicha, yes, but I will need to make more tests tomorow morning so we can have more scenarios02:21
darkxstjbicha, I can't help much with the .signed issue, both vmware and vbox correctly boot unsigned kernel02:21
darkxsteveraldo, i have pc+bios+nvidia, but it has never booted the liveCD02:24
darkxstoh and it does have a fresh install on it though ;)02:24
everaldodarkxst, so, live don't works but install works?02:25
everaldos/install/installation/02:25
darkxsteveraldo, no02:25
darkxsteveraldo, I installed in vmware02:25
everaldodarkxst, can you test if the installation and live works on your pc+bios+nvidia?02:26
everaldodon't need to install, just check if installation window appears02:26
darkxstyeh I will try later, can't often get a chance to reboot though02:26
darkxstthat said I am pretty sure we would have heard about it by now, if that was a problem02:28
everaldowell, we never know :)02:29
darkxstbut  pc+bios+nvidia is very common02:30
darkxstefi machines are relatively rare up to this point02:30
everaldowell, most of new machines here have support for both, efi and bios02:31
darkxstyeh and many of them run hybrid modes by default02:33
everaldolet me test ubuntu... brb02:34
everaldodarkxst, ok, ubuntu also fails with nvidia+efi02:40
everaldomac+efi+nvidia02:40
everaldoso, with #28 and #29 we are in the same level of Ubuntu02:40
darkxstwhich is good! since they can't spin the 'unofficial distro' problem02:41
darkxstbut I guess thats half the reason they have seperate mac images02:43
darkxstmaybe02:43
everaldono02:43
darkxstwhy?02:43
everaldothey have a mac image because in the past Ubuntu EFI rewrites mac firmware partition and causes people a lot of trouble02:44
everaldobecause Mac EFI is a "little" different02:44
everaldonow it is fixed but looks like they still releasing amd64+mac that is just a image without efi02:44
darkxstok, I don't use any Mac hardware, so don't follow it that closely02:45
everaldodarkxst, tomorow morning (now it is 00:46) I will go to a friends office02:46
everaldoand test UGR and Ubuntu on pc+efi+nvidia02:47
everaldodarkxst, in some cases is normal that amd and nvidia fails, on most distros (opensuse and fedora) we just use "nomodeset" kernel param02:48
everaldobut on UGR and Ubuntu the nomodeset causes Xorg to fail02:48
everaldoso... maybe we have a bug02:48
darkxstwhich drivers though?02:49
darkxstblobs should work fine with nomodeset02:49
darkxstOS drivers user KMS, so wont work with nomodeset02:49
everaldohumm02:50
everaldoyou are right02:50
everaldoso... at least to get it working I can generate an image with nvidia drivers and it will works02:50
everaldoso my wife can get her iMac with Ubuntu 12.10 (currently running 12.04)02:51
everaldodarkxst, oh! just check now, that is how I installed 12.04, a custom image with nvidia drivers02:54
everaldodarkxst, it means that #28 and #29 is enough02:55
everaldodo you think we can provide custom images with nvidia included?02:56
everaldoor is it too much?02:56
darkxstprobably not if we want to become an official flavour02:57
everaldoso bad, I will need to make a custom iso every time :(03:00
everaldodarkxst, any suggestions about how we can hell people with hardware like that?03:00
everaldoI mean, the solution is to build a custom iso03:01
everaldobut how to make it available for people that need it03:01
darkxstthat is the only solution, nvidia blobs blacklist all other drivers once installed03:01
darkxstjust provide a build script I guess03:02
everaldodarkxst, is there a bug report for #29 ?03:04
darkxsteveraldo, no, we dont have a package to report bugs against for the build script ;(03:04
darkxsts/for//03:05
everaldohumm03:05
darkxstand really it was just an oversight on our part, that should have been picked up (*if* we had a QA team)03:08
everaldoyep03:09
darkxstunsurprisingly its really hard to fix bugs we don't even know about!03:11
darkxstand too many users these days, just winge on some forum or blog and never actually report the issues03:11
darkxst(that often applies even to authors of said blogs!)03:12
everaldodarkxst, do you know if we are going to have a QA for 13.04?03:14
darkxstI sure hope so and we have plenty of time, just really need someone to rally the troops and get some volunteers on board03:18
everaldowe don't looks like a big team right now03:20
everaldotheres lots of people on lauchpad group but...03:20
darkxstperhaps if someone wrote a "participating in UG" guide and got it spread across the news sites03:20
everaldohttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gnome03:20
everaldo162 active members :)03:20
darkxstthat is not many, I have seeded over 1000 images03:21
everaldodarkxst, just kidding because we have 162 active members but only a few on IRC :)03:24
everaldo4~5 I think03:24
darkxstwell the irc channel is not in the release notes03:25
everaldooh! I just forget to put it, jbicha told me to put it there 2 days ago03:25
darkxstlol!03:25
everaldooh man!03:25
* everaldo going to wiki03:26
everaldodarkxst, 18 months support? or no support yet?03:27
darkxstanyway I think its worth a shot a doing a "participating" article, most likely people like phoronix, wogue, webupd8 etc would publish it03:28
everaldoyes, good idea03:28
darkxsteveraldo, you want to write it?03:29
everaldodarkxst, my english is not good03:30
everaldobut I will write one in portuguese for local people03:30
darkxstyour english is fine03:30
everaldodarkxst, ok, I will write then you guys can review03:31
everaldotask for tomorow03:31
darkxstif you write, I will proof read/edit for you03:31
everaldonice, thanks!03:31

darkxstin which case join ubuntu-etherpad03:33
everaldowhere?03:33
everaldoah, it works now after 3 "internal server error"03:34

everaldoTheLordOfTime, so I can watch UDS from here?04:01
TheLordOfTimeeveraldo, some UDS stuff needs in-person, but a lot is audio-streamed04:02
TheLordOfTimeand you can watch on the etherpad04:02

gareththeredHi!  Anyone have a minute to answer a query?18:04
everaldogareththered, just shot :-)18:05
gareththeredHave you tried using a GSM modem?18:05
everaldogareththered, not really :(18:14
gareththeredOk.  I can't get it to connect, while it worked on 12.04.  I'll download the full Ubuntu 12.10 (with Unity) and see if it works on there.  That way, I'll know if it's a Gnome Remix or Ubuntu 12.10 problem.  Thanks though.18:15
everaldogareththered, it is probably a Ubuntu issued, not directly related to GNOME Remix18:25
everaldoit is managed by ModemManager/NetworkManager18:25
gareththeredhaven't seen any reports for it so far, which is why I thought I'd ask here.  I'll download Ubuntu as see what happens.  I maybe back soon, depending on how that goes ;-)18:26
everaldogareththered, don't forget to let us know about your tests, could be nice if you starting with a bug report18:28
everaldogareththered, fill a bug report right now so we can trac it18:29
gareththeredI'll definitely file a bug report if I find any issues.  Shall I try Ubuntu first or even install a copy in VirtualBox to see if I can replicate it?  It might be a bad install?  Let me know what you want me to do.18:30
everaldonever see how modem works on VirtualBox18:31
everaldogareththered, but you can fill a report right now, even if it is only Gnome Remix related18:32
everaldobtw, I think that you need to install VirtualBox extension18:32
everaldoto get usb working18:32
gareththeredI had 12.04 working with the GSM modem on VirtualBox this afternoon, so I know it works.18:33
everaldooh, nice to know18:33
gareththeredUbuntu Desktop is nearly downloaded - 5 min to go.  A little more time to install and I'll know if it's Gnome Remix related or not.  At least I'll know what to write on the bug report then!18:35
everaldo:)18:45
everaldoneed to restart, brb18:45
gareththeredeveraldo.  Seems it's a Gnome-Remix issue :-(  It works on Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop.19:18
everaldohumm19:18
everaldogareththered, please fill a bug report and tell us the number19:19
everaldogive it as much as details you can19:19
everaldoI am fixing a efi issue and can take a look in a couple of hours19:19
gareththeredOK - I'll get onto it.  I might just install Remix on a VirtualBox, just in case I had a bad install.  I've quite a few extracts from syslogs; shall I include them in the initial report?19:20
darkxstgareththered, use 'ubuntu-bug modemmanager' that should collect required logs19:22
gareththeredOK.  I'll leave you in peace now! Thanks for all your help.19:22
everaldogareththered, please subscribe me to the bug (ecanuto)19:31
everaldodarkxst, the #28 need a complementary fix, will commit it in a few moments19:32
everaldo(iso-build)19:32
darkxsteveraldo, btw I think the actual bug is "why do *some* non-secureboot efi systems want to boot a signed kernel"19:47
everaldowell, we can change the grub config file to use non secure19:54
everaldobut the ubuntu always use signed kernel on efi19:54
everaldoso, we must follow this rule19:54
darkxstthat is not always true apparently, both vmware and vbox boot (using efi), using the unsigned kernel19:56
everaldodarkxst, not really, I checked the grub.cfg and it always use signed kernel19:58
everaldodarkxst, how did you get vbox use efi? It never works for me :(19:58
darkxsteveraldo, settings -> motherboard -> efi19:59
darkxstit probably won't work if you set it after installation however19:59
gareththeredeveeraldo.  I've raised a bug under #1070006 and attached an extract from the syslog of the Gnome Remix system.  Let me know what else you need from me.  I'm on UK time though and sleep a lot ;-)20:13
everaldogareththered, looks like we miss something... will take a look when finish with efi20:17
everaldothanks for report20:17
darkxstgareththered, does the modem show up in network settings?20:23
darkxstgareththered, if not try with this "nm-connection-editor"20:24
darkxstgareththered, also when you say "ubuntu desktop" you mean Unity?20:29
everaldodarkxst, maybe something is installed by default on Ubuntu that we don't have on UGR20:30
darkxsteveraldo, sounds more like, gnome-shell did not detect modem and popup a dialog, but unity did20:38
darkxsteveraldo, oh the daily cd's dont have any of the signed stuff (which is probably why they work fine in my VM's)21:21
everaldodarkxst, so, are we going to follow daily or release rules?21:31
everaldoif daily then we need also to change our grub.cfg21:32
darkxstI presume we will respin of the release image?21:33
darkxstjbicha, ^21:33
jbichadarkxst: well I was going to, but slangasek said it wasn't necessary21:37
darkxstjbicha, we have to21:37
darkxstjbicha, last image wont even boot at all on some efi systems21:37
jbichadarkxst: do you want to try to ping him about it then?21:37
darkxstactually I don't think it will boot at all on any efi system21:38
darkxstI presume you built the beta off dailys? and final off release?21:38
darkxstjbicha, I will ping him21:39
jbichawell daily=release at the end of last week, & cjwatson & others made a bunch of last-minute changes for secure boot21:39
everaldodarkxst, jbicha, we have two different problems21:40
everaldoone is EFI and other is security boot21:40
everaldo#28 and #30 (mi branch) cover the secure boot problem21:40
everaldoand #29 from darkxst cover the EFI stuff not boot at all21:41
everaldoto make it more clean, I will comment on bug report21:41
everaldos/clean/clear/21:41
everaldo#29 we need to apply anyway21:41
jbichait would also be good to clarify from the release team what needs to be done as if Canonical's changing the build process at the last minute, they really ought to announce that so derivatives don't get burned21:42
darkxstjbicha, daily's still dont have secure boot stuff in them21:44
jbichaI believe Wed & Thurs' dailies last week were the release image so that doesn't make sense21:45
* everaldo downloading kubuntu just to check what they did21:45
everaldojbicha, who we can speak from release team?21:48
darkxstjbicha, well the current Q daily certainly does not have the signed boot stuff in it21:48
darkxsteveraldo, you did not push r30?21:52
everaldodarkxst, ops :)21:55
everaldojbicha, where we can write notes/ideas/stuff for UGR 13.04?21:56
* everaldo following darkxst messages at #gnome-devel21:57
everaldojbicha, darkxst, kubuntu also don't includes .signed stuff, and they use a different grub.cfg that points to "casper/vmlinuz" indead of "casper/vmlinuz.efi.signed"22:01
