cjwatsonAnyone looking at the Xubuntu build failures?11:37
knomecjwatson, at least not from the xubuntu side, since i wasn't aware we had those11:38
cjwatsoninfinity,slangasek: The above grub2/grub2-signed were from debugging a failure reported by PES, but I have a suspicion that they may fix stgraber's installation failure too11:38
Laneythere's a branch on the im-config bug to switch the seeds11:38
cjwatsonknome: Should you be on the e-mail list for image build failures?11:38
cjwatsonIt's currently Cody and Lionel11:39
knomecjwatson, maybe, but i don't even know what that list is...11:39
knomecjwatson, right, that should probably be lionel and micahg (if he wants)11:39
Laneyyou get mailed when the images fail to build11:39
cjwatsonIt's maintained by ubuntu-cdimage - it's not a mailman list or anything11:39
knomei mean, i'm useless there.11:39
cjwatsonOK, I'm not adding people without their explicit consent so it's up to micahg then11:39
cjwatson(Also tend not to remove people without their consent)11:40
knomei can only pass on the message, but if lionel gets those mails anyway, then i'm just an extra hand11:40
knomecody hasn't been active with xubuntu for a long time, but i'm not complaining if he wants those mails11:40
knomejust a note that i'm not too actively monitoring this channel; only on highlights, which are knome and xubuntu for this channel11:42
knomeso if you want my attention... use either11:42
knomeor if you think i should add more words to highlight, let me know11:43
* cjwatson merges that seed branch11:44
cjwatsonknome: no, that's fine11:44
knomecjwatson, ok, cheers :) and thanks for all the hard work. i probably should have come and said hi and thanks to you in uds, but somehow that slipped.11:45
cjwatsonno worries :)11:45
knomemmh, i'm sure you were busy enough without that too :)11:46
knomeanyway, i got to move again, see you later!11:46
* cjwatson runs a xubuntu-meta update11:47
infinitycjwatson: No bug ref in that grub2{,-signed} upload.11:49
infinityOh, you're just piggybacking it on the catch-all SB bug.11:50
infinityThat's fair.11:50
* infinity gets all accepty up in here.11:50
cjwatsoninfinity: I was sort of uncomfortable about including FourDollars' bug in it because that bug isn't present in precise{,-updates} right now11:50
cjwatsonincluding a reference to that bug, that is11:50
cjwatsonI kind of feel that SRU bugs should be present before and absent after11:51
* infinity nods.11:51
* infinity reinstalls bzr first...11:52
cjwatsoninfinity: ?!12:05
cjwatson(reinstall)12:05
infinitycjwatson: Wiped out my laptop over the weekend.12:06
cjwatsonAh12:07
infinityI'm guessing kdegames got split out? :P12:32
=== mmrazik|lunch is now known as mmrazik
xnoxinfinity: lolz =) also gnome-games got split upstream as well. I guess splitting games is trending right now =)12:37
ScottKKDE is splitting ALL the things.13:37
stgrabercjwatson: I'll retry once we have a build with the new grub2. I was installing from a usb stick onto another usb stick, so problems specific to removable devices may well affect me.14:11
cjwatsonstgraber: Even aside from that, there was a misbackport that wasn't specific to --removable14:21
cjwatsonAnd, hmm.  Did 12.10 work in that configuration?14:21
stgraberthat's a good question. I did my 12.10 testing on external drives, but with a different one that may not export the removable flag properly (I have a few of those)14:22
cjwatsonBecause we have no code to call grub-install --removable if you're doing that, and I'm not sure that it'll work without14:22
cjwatsonIt would be more about whether UEFI thinks it's removable14:22
cjwatsonSpecifically whether it goes for \EFI\ubuntu\BOOTX64.EFI per efibootmgr, or \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI per the defaults for removable devices14:23
cjwatsonI think I mean \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi there14:24
stgraberI'm 90% sure it was updating the boot list with efibootmgr in 12.10 and I'm 100% sure it did with that last precise install (as I had to fix it manually to boot from my internal disk)14:25
cjwatsonOK, so then it could still be the config_opt(_file) fix14:26
cjwatsonstgraber: running an image build now14:31
micahgcjwatson: I'd be fine getting Xubuntu image mails15:01
cjwatsonmicahg: your wish is my command.  preferred address?15:08
micahgcjwatson: micahg @ ubuntu15:08
* xnox kind of wants to receive cd image build failures as well for: ubuntu [desktop|server] @ i386, amd64, armhf-any15:09
xnox... cause I am usually the last one to find out about stuff.15:09
cjwatsonxnox: I can't make them arch-specific15:09
cjwatson(right now, anyway)15:09
xnoxcjwatson: ok, then all ubuntu emails please =)15:10
cjwatsonxnox: preferred address?15:10
Laneypoor kde15:10
xnoxcjwatson: launchpad @ surgut.co.uk15:10
cjwatsonmicahg,xnox: done15:11
xnoxthanks.15:11
xnox... for all the spam =)))))15:11
xnoxcjwatson: I do wonder if it should have an archived mailing list as well. for all fails.15:11
cjwatsonxnox: *shrug* they're all archived in *-build-logs anyway15:13
xnoxfair enough.15:14
micahgcjwatson: thanks15:15
infinityOh crap, is queuebot going nutty again?15:16
stgraberit seems to be kde-only, so I'm not sure :)15:17
cjwatsoninfinity: Those look like genuine rejects/reuploads15:17
stgrabernope, according to the queue, it's fine, just the kde guys flooding the queue as usual :)15:17

stgraberslangasek: QATracker change landed, we can now enable/disable manifest entries at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/admin/config/services/qatracker/series/32/manifest16:35
slangasekstgraber: thanks much17:09
stgraberslangasek: mumble?17:10
slangasekoh, I forgot we moved to mumble17:10
slangasekI've been trying to get into G+!17:10
stgraber:)17:10
slangasek(without success)17:10
infinitycjwatson: So, yeah, following up on mumble, I'm happy to poke at the oversize/duplication madness a bit, though if you want to switch from tasks to metapackages, that might sort of Just Work.  Ish.  Not sure what that does to the autoinstall profile of a .1 versus a .2 install.17:34
cjwatsonYeah, that would be my concern17:35
cjwatsonI guess the answer is to build two squashfses and diff them17:36
infinityYep.17:36
infinityI have that all set up here anyway, so I can fiddle a bit.17:36
cjwatsonIf you want to do that I certainly don't object17:36
infinitySo gracious of you.17:36
cjwatson:-)17:37
* cjwatson tries to figure out why ubuntu-zh_CN/precise/amd64 has been failing17:37
* infinity tries to figure out why he's depserately craving potato chips.17:37
cjwatsonBecause you haven't eaten in 36 hours?17:38
infinityOh, yeah.  Could be that.17:38
ScottKI attempted to copy cups-pk-helper to -security as requested, but got rejected.17:39
ScottKWhat's the process for that?17:39
ScottKDo copy package and let a security person accept it?17:39
micahgweird, I would think an AA should be able to do that17:39
ScottKSecurity is "special"17:40
stgrabercjwatson: running yet another precise SB install during my lunch break, hopefully this one will work ;)17:41
ScottKmicahg: I copied the over again.  Would you please take care of accepting them?17:42
micahgScottK: yeah, let me log into LP, I'm not on my dev machine17:42
ScottKThanks.17:42
infinityWait.17:50
infinityScottK: Was that built in -proposed?17:50
ScottKinfinity: It was.  And the security team said in the bug to copy it to security after it was released.17:51
* ScottK assumed they thought that bit through.17:51
infinityWe don't copy from updates to security for a reason.  I hope they audited the deps closely before they requested that...17:52
ScottKErr, I think it was.17:52
ScottKYeah.  Me too.17:52
infinityYeah, it was from proposed. :/17:52
micahghuh?  I thought it was copied from the security PA17:54
micahg*PPA17:54
infinitymicahg: No.17:54
infinityOh.17:54
infinityWait.17:54
infinityYeah, it went from the PPA to proposed to updates.17:54
infinityYou're right.17:54
infinityFalse alarm, it's all good.17:54
ScottKExcellent.17:54
ScottKSorry for not checking first.17:54
* micahg accepts quantla17:55
infinityquantla was my favourite release.17:55
micahgyay, I did something useful...17:56
Laneyyou're always useful to me ♥17:57
stgrabercjwatson: I'm typing this on a shiny new precise install using secureboot ;)18:17
xnox\o/18:18
cjwatsonstgraber: \o/18:18
cjwatsonBest news I've heard all week18:18
cjwatsonAny problems?18:18
stgrabernot that I can see, media booted fine, install looked good, grub booted directly after reboot18:19
cjwatsonAwesomesauce18:20
cjwatsonSo I think the remaining thing I need to do is fix that ubuntu-defaults-image failure visible in zh_CN18:21
cjwatsonAnd then we call it good18:21
stgrabercjwatson: ah, one small detail, not sure if we want to bother fixing for .2, memtest86 is listed in grub and shouldn't be on efi systems18:22
cjwatsonYeah, I fixed that in quantal, I guess we should backport that18:22
cjwatsonLet's make it a separate bug though - this one is big enough18:22
cjwatsonAnd it's not SB-specific18:22
stgraberright18:23
infinitySo, wait, do we get to promote this whole mess to -updates soon, is that what I'm hearing?18:23
cjwatsonHm, in bug 883017 somebody claims to have made it work on EFI18:23
ubot2`Launchpad bug 883017 in memtest86+ (Ubuntu) "memtest86+ fails on efi systems" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88301718:23
cjwatsoninfinity: It's looking close.  I think there are other ubiquity bugs to verify though18:24
* xnox can do most of them. Now that cd's are not going to be respun again.18:25
cjwatsonmy hero18:25
cjwatsonwell, I mean, they are, they're on daily builds - just not for a new ubiquity18:26
xnoxack.18:26
* xnox off to argos & back and then'll poke them.18:26
ScottKmicahg: FYI: I got accepts for oneiric and quantal, but not precise.18:29
infinitycjwatson: Can I get you to review the flash-kernel in q-proposed?18:30
cjwatsonLooking (modulo slow internet due to running ubuntu-defaults-image)18:34
cjwatsoninfinity: what guarantees that linux-base is installed18:35
cjwatson?18:35
cjwatsonSince I don't seem to have it installed here18:35
infinitycjwatson: f-k depends on it.18:36
cjwatsonAha18:36
cjwatsonOK, that'll do :)  I was looking at rdepends on x8618:36

infinityScottK: Gee, I'd really like to, but I have to floss my cat this evening.23:32
ScottKIs it a big deal if copyright statements lack a date?23:33
ScottKi.e. copyright (c) foo vice copyright (c) 2012 foo23:33
slangasekdepends on whether reproduction of the copyright notice with date is a requirement of the license, IMHO23:34
infinityA copyright statement without a date is legally meaningless in many jurisdictions.23:35
ScottKIt's GPL 2+23:35
slangasekthen yeah, I'd say that's a problem23:35
ScottKThanks.23:35
ScottKRiddell: ^^^ look in players/neutralplayer.cpp in konquest and weep.  Rejecting (I did not check to see if it was just the one file or others too).23:36
* Riddell weeps23:39
slangasekohwait, this is the upstream copyright notice?23:40
slangasekI assumed you were looking at debian/copyright; in general, whatever upstream offers as a copyright statement is good23:40
slangasekbecause if they don't care enough to make sure copyright is enforceable on their work, who are we to stop them23:41
slangasek(not that the countries where you still need the copyright statement are particularly relevant, the Berne convention supersedes this)23:41
infinityslangasek: Hrm, does plymouth really need a dependency on "libdrm-intel1 | libdrm-radeon1 | libdrm-nouveau2"?23:44
slangasekinfinity: I recently wondered that, having seen it in the backport; I don't know why it's there at all23:45
infinityslangasek: Doesn't seem to make much sense, since that doesn't in any way enforce that you have the plugin for your hardware.23:45
slangasekinfinity: just checked, that predates my involvement in the package23:47
slangasekinfinity: axe it - it's obsolete now anyway, because we're now using the generic kms backend for everything (by accident, but it seems to have held up)23:47
infinityslangasek: Axing away.23:47
ScottKslangasek: So it's OK then?23:48
infinityThat'll knock a few more bits out of required.23:48
slangasekScottK: it's ok for upstream to put whatever they want for a copyright statement, as long as it's clear to us that they aren't stealing code they can't actually give us a license to.  Debian policy still requires debian/copyright to include proper (i.e., with date) copyright statements; and some licenses, GPL included, require that "an appropriate copyright notice" accompany the work when we distribute it.23:52
slangasekScottK: do you want more eyeballs on debian/copyright?23:53
ScottKI think it needs to be redone in any case as not all the copyright attributions are included in debian/copright.23:54
ScottKcopyright even.23:54
slangasekok23:54
ScottKThanks for offering.23:55
