dholbachgood morning07:07
jibelgood morning dholbach07:08
dholbachhey jibel :)07:09
dholbachpitti, Aron replied on the libxml2 autopkgtest patch - to get it into Debian he asked me to add a python test case as well :-)07:10
dholbachnot quite the answer I expected, but I was happy to oblige :)07:10
pittidholbach: hah07:11
pittidholbach: (bah, static bindings!)07:11
dholbachso I hope we have it in sync soon :)07:11
pittisounds great07:11
pittidholbach: thanks for adding this!07:11
dholbachno worries :)07:13
dholbachpitti, I added some more info to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/RequiredTests  - do you think we should be more explicit for example in the case of functionality tests?07:18
pittidholbach: hm, right now those do not have any tests, so pretty much everything helps07:19
dholbachhum hum07:19
pittiI mean exercising the most common use cases; for each individual project this seems rather obvious, do you think it's not?07:19
dholbachI'll try to think of a good way to put that07:19
dholbachyou know, something else than "do whatever you want" :-P07:19
pittisomething like "Exercise the most common functionality and workflow"?07:20
dholbachyeah, sounds good07:20
dholbach:-(07:20
dholbach:-)07:20
pittiand perhaps a d-conf example, "check reading, writing of schema keys, handling of invalid values for types, and schema creation/compilation"07:21
dholbachwill add07:21
pittior for the file lens, "create a temporary home directory with some files, and check that these files are found"07:21
pitti(but that falls into the "rather obvious" category, I would think)07:21
dholbachperfect07:22
Noskcajcan someone please finish this testcase http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/admin/config/services/qatracker/testcases/1340/edit it cant go any further on my g408:13
smartboyhwNoskcaj, OK I can08:15
smartboyhwNoskcaj, so what do you want me to add?08:15
smartboyhwBTW Noskcaj welcome to the testcase admins team:D08:16
Noskcajsmartboyhw: thanks, the bit at the very bottom(selecting the desktop environment), i think the testcase can be uploaded(slightly modified) for all desktop architectures08:17
smartboyhwNoskcaj, so you mean that how can people install their favorite desktop environment like Ubuntu And Lubuntu am I right?08:18
Noskcajyes, my mac bugs out before loading the command prompt after installing(just after restart)08:19
smartboyhwNoskcaj, so you mean "After the base system is installed, log in, and type "sudo tasksel" to select the system to install."08:21
Noskcajyeah, that stuff08:23
smartboyhwNoskcaj, OK I will do it now08:23
Noskcajthanks08:23
Noskcajhow is it that all ubuntu irc channels have an op except this one09:29
smartboyhwHmm there is no ChanServ here weird09:44
dholbachsmartboyhw, the folks in #ubuntu-irc should be able to help out09:45
smartboyhwdholbach, as it turns out: #ubuntu-irc doesn't have ChanServ too09:47
dholbachI don't know where it's required or not09:47
dholbachbut the people in there are knowledgeable and should know how to set things up09:47
smartboyhwSome do, some not. Maybe I should just forget about ht eissue09:47

pittigema, dholbach: just saw your current UDS testing slides12:38
dholbachyes, the first couple of slides and the two last ones would be the ones Nick and I use12:38
pittigema, dholbach: so at the slide with "upstream testing", I'll do my blurb?12:38
pittishall I just add a couple of slides? most of my talk will be actual talking, as there's not much to screenshot there, but I might have a few12:39
dholbachpitti, yeah, feel free to add more slides - I think I'll remove the one that says "autopkgtest" as you'll likely talk about that anyway :)12:40
pittidholbach: leave it there for now as a reminder12:40
dholbachok12:40
dholbachperfect12:40
dholbach<312:40
pittidholbach: but I can talk about it, sure12:40
dholbachawesome12:41

pittidholbach: oh, hmm -- I can haz edit?12:41
gemadholbach: what is that autopilot training stuff?12:42
gemadholbach: is mmrazik taking care of that bit?12:42

dholbachwell-oiled12:43
dholbachexcuse me :)12:43
gemaha-ha12:43
pittidholbach, gema: for chronological order, and to better explain the upstream bits, it would be better to talk about autopkgtest first; ok for you if I swap the slides?12:43
* gema feels old now12:43
* dholbach hugs gema12:43
* dholbach hugs gema12:43

smartboyhwdholbach, wow too passionate hugging 5 times;P12:43
dholbachpitti, sure sure12:43
* pitti turns some squeaking gears12:43
gemapitti: go for it, you have a solid amount of minutes (8) that you can use however you want12:43
gemapitti: that's an eternity at a plenary12:44
gema:D12:44
pittigema, dholbach: so, 8 mins for autopkgtest + upstream, right? (that's more than enough for an overview)12:44
gema8*500 people...mmmhhh... 4000 minutes12:44
dholbachI think you'd share some time with mmrazik12:44
dholbachNick and I are "just" going to take the first 5 minutes for some very general overview and the last 2 for announcements12:44
pittiack12:45
dholbachthe rest will be all yours to show the awesomeness everyone has been missing out on12:45

dholbachgema, I wanted 15 minutes for my own - I have to feed wife, children and grandchildren!12:47
gemait works better between germans :P12:47
dholbachgema, what do you expect me to do?12:47
dholbachgema, I already gave you a discount?12:47
gemahahaha12:47
pittidholbach: so we need to set up that sparring, you throwing paper bugs at me and I fend them off with my jenkins bat?12:48
* gema feels like buying pijamas, now12:48
dholbachI can try to talk Nick into speeding it up a little bit, we'll both be there a bit earlier on Sunday12:48

roadmrthis is probably the dumbest question I've ever asked :/ how do I install proprietary drivers on Ubuntu 12.10?15:30
holsteinroadmr: i just install the packages i need... under "software sources" there is a tab for "additional drivers" which has worked ok fo me in my testing15:31
holstein!ati15:31
ubot5For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto15:31
holstein!nvidia15:31
roadmrholstein: oh ok, I'll look there. It's not too obvious to me but that may be because I'm biased towards being offered the drivers and/or having a very prominent jockey icon15:32
=== _salem is now known as salem_
holsteinroadmr: sure, and just remember, theres is nothing about ubuntu/linux that keeps the manufacturer of your graphics chip from allowing the hardware to be supported "out of the box"15:33

=== _salem is now known as salem_
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
roadmrhello again folks, wondering if anyone else is having trouble installing proprietary drivers on 12.10 due to linux-headers-generic not being installed by default16:39
patdk-wkhmm, headers have never been installed by default, I didn't think, or atleast, never on mine16:39

phillwNoskcaj: ask wxl  to have a quick look over it. It's handy to have another PPC person check the logic :)21:04
wxli will when i get a new adapter, phillw / Noskcaj21:07
Noskcajok, i can be used for any desktop architecture though phillw21:07
phillwI'm just pullingin grub-rescue CD21:07
Noskcaj*it21:07
Noskcaji made that one too21:08
Noskcaji think21:08
phillwNoskcaj: great! Test cases not too scary. We have a whole suite to write for lubuntu (lxde) applications. Julien (our head of dev) has made a start. After UDS, Nicholas will convert them into the 'new' style and we can get to work on them.21:17
Noskcaji might start on one of them this-afternoon but now School :(21:18
Noskcajafk21:19
phillwNoskcaj: enjoy!!21:19
phillwwxl: one of my hard drives decided it is unhappy with life. I've had to back it up & reformat. Trouble is that grub got a little over excited and decided to also write itself to my 2nd hard drive, which uses grub legacy and my 'working' system no longer boots :/#21:21
wxldoh, not fun phillw21:21
wxlyou got it figured out?21:21
phillwI'm going to put grub2 onto it - just downloading the grub rescue iso now.21:21
wxlgood21:21
phillwwell, Ihope so... CentOS still runs the old grub. Not sure what will happen when I update the kernel in future - I could be opening up a whole can of worms :/21:23
phillwdisappointed that the 'I'll put grub where I want' bug still exists... But, such is life.21:24
phillwoooh.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-2004054921:27
phillwlooks interesting!21:27
