| Noskcaj | balloons, is it possible to get testdrive to release before the 8th? | 19:40 |
| balloons | Noskcaj, you mean the netboot stuff/ | 19:41 |
| balloons | ? | 19:41 |
| Noskcaj | and the Vbox 4.2 bug | 19:41 |
| balloons | I didn't look at the vbox bug | 19:42 |
| balloons | what is it? | 19:42 |
| balloons | ohh that it won't launch vbox 4.2 | 19:42 |
| balloons | that's it right? | 19:42 |
| Noskcaj | yep, there are many other bugs (inc. it not being litian clean) but those two will mess with my classroom session | 19:43 |
| balloons | Noskcaj, as I think was conversed a bit ago on IRC, I'm not sure testdrive is seeing active development | 19:45 |
| balloons | that said, I don't think the changes your asking for would be difficult (but who knows!? sometimes simple stuff is hard)... but who will do them? | 19:45 |
| balloons | let's go look | 19:46 |
| balloons | https://launchpad.net/testdrive | 19:46 |
| Noskcaj | i know unit fixed the Vbox bug | 19:46 |
| Noskcaj | i did get a response from the guys who make it but unless something big appears, they can't be bothered | 19:47 |

| Noskcaj | bug 1079259 | 19:52 |
| ubot5 | bug 1079259 in testdrive (Ubuntu) "not lintian clean" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1079259 | 19:52 |
| Noskcaj | balloons, please read | 19:53 |
| balloons | ohh.. yea, it's not up to snuff as a package | 19:54 |
| balloons | the debian stuff needs updating | 19:54 |
| balloons | and it needs a manpage.. they won't take it without fixes most likely | 19:54 |
| phillw | balloons: Noskcaj I have a proposed work around for non fuunctioning of the mini-iso, which actually does have some advantages that I had not considered.. | 20:04 |
| Noskcaj | phillw, and they are? | 20:04 |
| Noskcaj | balloons, does the lintian mean it shouldn | 20:04 |
| Noskcaj | 't be realesed | 20:04 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: balloons I propose using ubuntu-server, with no additional things added. It has the advantage of having tasksel available to easily install the GUI (flavor) of their choice. | 20:07 |
| Noskcaj | phillw, sounds good. how big is it? | 20:08 |
| phillw | which is much more newcomer friendly way for them, rather than using CLI to add the flavor of thier choice. | 20:08 |
| Noskcaj | true | 20:09 |
| balloons | Noskcaj, the lintian stuff -- it depends on the archive guys | 20:09 |
| phillw | it is a base install, so all that is on it is required for a GUI | 20:09 |
| balloons | if an archive admin says it must meet that criteria, then it's not going in | 20:09 |
| Noskcaj | ok, and ok | 20:10 |
| phillw | balloons: do you think using server makes sense? | 20:10 |
| phillw | it has other advantages, that I did not immediately recognise, such as an easy way for some one to install LAMP for them to test / experiment with. | 20:12 |
| balloons | I think Noskcaj should make his life easy and plan for the changes to not be there.. | 20:13 |
| balloons | I think picking a different iso is the best way to do that | 20:13 |
| balloons | and so yes, server is fine, if he wants to go that right | 20:13 |
| balloons | *route | 20:13 |
| phillw | ubuntu-server installs okay onto test-drive :) | 20:13 |
| Noskcaj | yep, my session is fine without the mini, no changes needed. just i hope no-one is using Vbox 4.2 | 20:14 |
| phillw | for issues with VBox, I cannot help out. But I understand test-drive works okay with virt-manager (kvm). | 20:14 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: we can add a note to your session noting the bug. and advising people to use virt-manager. | 20:15 |
| balloons | if it comes up so be it | 20:16 |
| balloons | likely people willhave the old version | 20:16 |
| balloons | or you can explain to use an older version of kvm | 20:16 |
| phillw | balloons: I think that the current version of kvm does not have this problem? | 20:17 |
| Noskcaj | the bug only affects oracle Vbox. | 20:18 |
| Noskcaj | phillw, are you using it in your session? | 20:18 |
| phillw | balloons: and my fix for guestfish has been verified for quantal & should land in time :) | 20:18 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: I'm covering both VBox and virt-manager | 20:19 |
| balloons | nice | 20:19 |
| phillw | I think, given the circumstances, I'll use the VBox from the ubuntu repo. | 20:20 |
| Noskcaj | ok, that should help | 20:20 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: is test-drive oklay with that 'older' VBox? | 20:20 |
| Noskcaj | yep, it's only oracle that it dislikes | 20:21 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: older VBox & ubuntu-server it is, then :) I'll update my section. | 20:21 |
| Noskcaj | ok | 20:21 |
| Noskcaj | i have to eat now, bye | 20:22 |
| phillw | rc | 20:23 |
| phillw | tc | 20:23 |
| phillw | ! | 20:23 |
| balloons | bye Noskcaj ;-) | 20:25 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: for your info, I have VBox 4.1.8 on my system so I can check stuff with you if you need. | 21:01 |
| Noskcaj | phillw, that's the ubuntu repo's one? | 21:01 |
| phillw | Noskcaj: yup :) | 21:02 |
| Noskcaj | k, everything should work fine with it. | 21:02 |
