Noskcajjust found a bug in 12.10, at least xubuntu amd64. when you make a program open in half the screen by dragging it to the top, pressing the maximise button maxes the top part of the window go above the screen06:25
Noskcajping to anyone here08:17
jibelgood morning08:30
Noskcajevening jibel08:31
pittijibel: bonjour!08:31
jibelHey pitti Noskcaj08:31
pittijibel: FYI, I fixed the hanging xvfb and lost processes on rabisu this morning, so https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/JHBuild%20Gnome/ is getting blue again08:31
Noskcajare either of you guys able to run a daily install for me?08:32
dholbachgood morning08:32
pittijibel: I just "damaged" all checksums in the data file, that ought to trigger a complete rebuild, right?08:33
jibelpitti, ah, good. I killed some stalled dbus processes yesterday evening, I'll need to add a proper cleanup after the runs08:33
jibelpitti, yes, it will08:33
pittijibel: they all failed with "Xvfb: failed to start" because of the lingering Xvfb process08:33
Noskcajbug 1087409, please confirm outside of Vbox08:34
ubot5bug 1087409 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "*buntu dailys take 3 minutes to get to the next screen if install mp3 is selected." [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/108740908:34
jibelpitti, yes, that's pretty common, about once a week08:34
pittiNoskcaj: there's not much to debug there, it's pretty clear what happens AFAIK08:34
pittiNoskcaj: same effect when you install it on a laptop with a broadcom wifi08:34
pittithere's a missing progress report UI from ubiquity08:35
Noskcajpitti, my issue is it only appears with the mp3 selected08:35
pittiNoskcaj: yes, that will trigger the "install additional/non-free drivers" functionality08:36
pittithe VB driver is not really non-free, but it's an UI design compromise08:36
Noskcajok, just realised my fault, nvm08:36
pittiNoskcaj: well, not "your fault" really, it really does sit there for a while doing nothing08:36
jibelNoskcaj, lack of feedback is a UI bug IMO08:37
pittiNoskcaj: I'm just saying that this is "triaged"08:37
* pitti adjusts08:37
pittiNoskcaj: bug updated08:38

pittijibel: we don't run libo upstream tests for raring any more, do we?10:31
pittihttps://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/search/?q=libreoffice10:31
pittiand all of the four have a last build in November10:31
pittijibel: or has that been entirely replaced with the bibisect stuff?10:31
jibelpitti, bibisect does't replace it and it's lower priority because they are run as part of the build in the PPA.10:34
jibelpitti, and I didn't have time to activate daily builds for raring yet10:35
pittijibel: ah, ok; thanks for the heads-up!10:35

dholbachpitti, is http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/auto-pkg-test.html#executing-the-test all we need to point a potential test case reviewer at? or do you feel we should add something there? or on a separate page on the wiki maybe?11:52
pittihey dholbach12:16
pittidholbach: that's the operational bits indeed; if that fails, it's definitively not ready yet, so it's a really good check12:16
pittidholbach: it should also be "sensible" in the context of the package, of course (but that's true with anything you sponsor of course)12:17
dholbachpitti, perfect, thanks12:23
dholbachpitti, could you imagine doing a quick hangout to talk people through a test or two - we could do it in an "interview" format - we could do it earlier on Friday and then point people to the youtube link later on12:31
pittidholbach: sure, let's try that12:38
dholbachpitti, shall we pick a time already?12:38
pittidholbach: I have a dentist appointment at 10:30; so earlier, or after 11:1512:38
dholbachwill you be able to talk after the appointment? :)12:39
pittiyeah, it's no big deal :)12:39
dholbachthen let's do it afterwards - you might be more relaxed then :-P12:39
pittiI shall point out that hangouts are still working exceptionally bad, though12:40
dholbachok12:40
pittiso we might need to move to IRC12:40
dholbachwe can try it and if it fails, I can try to do it12:40
dholbachor that12:40
dholbachI would  be a very poor substitute for TEH PITTI :)12:41
pittiwell, so are hangouts :)12:41
pittithere's nothign I can point to :)12:41
dholbach:-)12:41
pittithat was much easier IRL at UDS12:41
dholbachyeah :)12:42
pittidholbach: hey, can we try a hangout now? I'll try on my mobile12:42
dholbachsure12:42
dholbachlet me invite you - just a sec12:42
pittidholbach: ah, already invited you12:43
dholbachah ok12:43
pittidholbach: can't hear you12:44
dholbachgreyback, did I see it correctly - you live in Berlin? :)13:25
greybackdholbach: correct13:45
greybackdholbach: I moved there about 3 months ago13:45
dholbachgreyback, very nice - I had no idea :)13:45
cprofittmorning everyone14:11
roadmrhello!14:12
cprofitthow is your day going roadmr ?14:12
roadmrcprofitt: fine so far :) yours?14:12
cprofittIt is going well for a first day back to work from being ill14:14
cprofittlots of catching up to do14:14
=== smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw
cprofittballoons: ping14:33
cprofittor anyone else really14:33
cprofittany advice on how to best schedule a meeting for a team that appears to be equally split by a 5-6 hour time difference?14:33
cprofittI am using a doodle poll right now...14:34
smartboyhwcprofitt, you mean on Ubuntu Friendly uh?14:34
cprofittsmartboyhw: yeah14:34
cprofitttrying to get UF to have some regular meetings14:34
smartboyhwcprofitt, so if it has a 5-6 hour differece, set the later one at it's local time 16:00, and set the earlier one 10:0014:35
cprofittthe one I am working on now is really just an initial meeting, but I truly believe some form of regular meeting keeps teams on-track14:35
cprofittI was really looking to have one meeting not two different ones, but I guess having two could work14:36
cprofittI had not considered that14:36
smartboyhwcprofitt, how would it work?14:36
cprofitton the poll I put two early evening GMT times and two early evening UTC times14:36
cprofittI do not know... I thought that was what your suggestion was14:36
cprofittsmartboyhw: I assume you were not talking about having two different meetings, but how to list the options on Doodle?14:38
smartboyhwcprofitt, I never used doodle:P14:39
cprofittah.14:41
cprofittDoodle is just a poll system for trying to find the optimal meeting time14:41
cprofittlets people vote on which time(s) they can meet.14:41
smartboyhwcprofitt, just ask the guys who are interested in this first...14:41
cprofittyep, that is what has been done.14:42
cprofittjust struggling with the idea of cutting half the team out of a meeting14:42
cprofittthe first set of responses only resulted in less than half the interested folks being able participate at any one time14:43
cprofittperhaps setting up an asychronous system would work better, but I have not used too many of those.14:43
cprofittmost of those are most 'task' oriented and not discussion14:44
cprofittphillw: ping you around?14:44
phillwcprofitt: indeed i am :)14:44
cprofittthanks for voting so quickly in the poll14:45
phillwsaves me forgetting to vote :)14:45
cprofittyou have any good ideas on how to ensure we get input from everyone despite the 5-6 hour time split in the team?14:45
phillwas you have the EP set up, it is a case of reminding people to put ideas on to it.14:47
cprofittEP?14:48
phillwether pad http://pad.ubuntu.com/sClb0uH2g814:48
cprofittah, yes14:48
smartboyhwphillw, hmm getting a new life at packaging now:)14:48
phillwyou have a suggestion already from me :)14:49
cprofittthanks Phillw14:49
phillwsmartboyhw: great :) Have you decided on a time for your session?14:49
smartboyhwphillw, as you reminded me now, I will set it at 19th Feb 13:00 UTC14:49
smartboyhwFinal date:)14:49
phillwcan you edit the wiki page and let Lyz know :)14:50
smartboyhwphillw, ok14:50
phillwyou may want to add to the wiki page that people will need an iso !14:51
cprofittphillw: was that directed towards me?14:52
cprofittthe wiki page and lyz?14:52
cprofittUWN?14:52
cprofittI do think the wiki page needs editing, but was not sure if it should be tackled before some things had been ironed out14:53
phillwcprofitt: no, sorry, it was for smartboyhw14:56
phillwfinally nailed down the last -classroom time & date on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/Classroom14:57
cprofittphillw: ok15:03
cprofittgood, glad you got classroom filled15:03
cprofittsorry that with everything going on I could not do a session15:03
phillwcprofitt: a classroom can be done at any time. Just give the classroom people a poke whenever UF wants to hold one. They're a great way to get noticed :)15:11
smartboyhwphillw, thx15:12
cprofittphillw: yep, thanks15:47
cprofittwow... I never realized that the UK got so little snow15:51

TLoThow thoroughly has the 12.04.1 ISO been tested?20:09
TLoTfor installation?20:09
TLoT???20:13
balloonsTLoT, prior to release we did a full workup20:16
TLoTto what extent?20:17
TLoTbecause https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/220961 seems to be occurring on this system20:17
ubot5Launchpad bug 220961 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "[MASTER] ubiquity crashes instead of notifying the user of not enough disk space" [High,Triaged]20:17
TLoTbrand new 750GB drive20:17
TLoT(apport triggered that)20:17
TLoTi'm trying a reinstall to see whether the partition schema i set up is the cause20:18
balloonshmm20:18
TLoT(shouldn't be!)20:18
balloonsdo you have logs from the install?20:18
TLoTnone that i can share20:18
TLoTi'm not willing to divulge my information unless bugcontrol decides to wake up and answer my quesiton in -bugs20:18
TLoT(the logs would contain password data)20:19
balloonsTLoT -- no, it won't have that personal data in it20:19
balloonsyou can see what's in the logs anyways20:19
TLoTballoons: the debug logs that apport were collecting said that it would have it20:19
balloonsand you should/could check20:19
TLoTso unless apport is LYING20:19
balloonsbut you didn't get that far did you? I mean to the user install20:20
balloonsusername choice20:20
TLoTgood question20:20
TLoTit said "installing system"20:20
TLoTand then went boom20:20
balloonshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity20:20
TLoTno time, i have to head out to a meeting20:20
TLoTif it errors out again i'll be back20:21
* TLoT will remain connected in lurkmode20:21
balloonsTLoT, ok -- the logs are deifnitely helpful in this case20:21
TLoTballoons: and you'll know if i get back, there'll be me raging at the computer.20:21
TLoTwhatever log(s) existed are likely being overwritten as we speak20:21
TLoTit could very well have just been the partition setup i had20:21
balloonskk20:21
TLoTbut we'll see20:21
* TLoT told it to not update as it goes, so...20:22
* TLoT runs off20:22
TLoTokay, that's... interesting20:24
TLoTit seems to have resolved itself?20:24
TLoTso... creating 3 partitions is too  hard for it?20:24
TLoTHUH?20:24
* TLoT shrugs20:24
TLoTback later20:24

epikvisionHello ubuntu quality! I am installing raring into my desktop and something is wrong.22:24
epikvisionHopefully, this is the right place to ask. First of all, i just installed raring straight from a daily image amd64. But after reboot, I see a blue screen called Memtest86.22:26
balloonsepikvision, is the disc still in the system?22:27
balloonsmemtest86 is an option from the iso22:27
epikvisionNo, it rebooted straight to memtest without the disc.22:28
epikvisionNow i see an exploding list of red and errors piling in mounds.22:29
epikvisionballoons It passed up to 46%.22:29
balloonsepikvision, very odd22:30
balloonsdid you install to your physical machine?22:30
balloonsyou don't even get a boot menu?22:30
epikvisionYes, although installation was perfect, it passed the intel boot splash screen, but it didnt make it to login screen.22:33
* epikvision waves at balloons.22:47
balloonsso epikvision I hope that takes care of your issues ;-)23:18
balloonsglad you got raring going on your laptop23:18
epikvisionballoons I hope so too. I remember installing a daily build a while back, and i encountered the same error.23:19
epikvisionballoons, its ok! Multitasking can bring up some inevitable bumps.23:21

TheLordOfTimeo.o23:26
TheLordOfTimeballoons, you may want to make a note somewhere that ubiquity may need to be beaten with a hammer - creating more than 2 partitions using the manual partitioner breaks things.23:27
TheLordOfTimewhich is what caused the initial implodification23:27
epikvisionI know, it's strange.23:27
epikvisionthanks balloons for the reporting walkthrough!23:31

balloonsxnox is here, or hiding.. not sure.. but there is etheir a bug, or an explaination23:32
TheLordOfTimeindeed23:33

xnoxi'm looking at the logs from epikvision's bug and I'm not seeing anything strange happening in the syslog yet...23:33
TheLordOfTimeand we're back :P23:55
TheLordOfTimexnox:  do you know of any bugs in ubiquity or otherwise which would cause the installer to say "insufficient space" during installation?  perhaps if i have "Update software during installation" selected?23:56
TheLordOfTimeballoons:  ^23:56
xnoxfor example - if you have more ram than disk-space we incorrectly create massive swap and only 2GB '/' which is not enough to complete the install.23:58
xnoxor otherwise passed the "have sufficient space check" but created '/' of 2GB23:59
