cprofittthanks for coming everyone01:02
cprofittour agenda is:01:02

cprofitthexr, wiki cleanup, how to improve parts of the Ubuntu Friendly system01:03
cprofittyour questions and any advice/ideas you all have01:03
cprofittbaloons are you here?01:03

cprofittalright... I might have baloons take over if he comes in, but let me tell you a bit about hexr01:04

cprofitt#link https://launchpad.net/hexr01:05
cprofitthexr, from my understanding, will potentially make use of the same data Ubuntu Friendly does, but it will do so to see what harware components have been tested01:06
cprofittso it will seek to find out of a specific Nvidia card has been tested or a specific wireless card01:06
cprofittand not look at systems, but components01:07
cprofitt#link https://launchpad.net/~hexr-dev/+members#active01:07
cprofittthe developers are listed on that page01:07
cprofittI think knowing that could help Ubuntu Friendly add some more functionality to the site -- where people might be able to sort systems based on a desired video card or wireless card...01:08
cprofittfor now it is just something for us to know as we move forward01:08
cprofitt#topic wiki clean up01:09

cprofitthow many of you have had time to look at the wiki page for UF?01:09
cprofitt#link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendly/01:09
cprofittwould anyone  be willing to take on reviewing the pages to ensure that they are up-to-date?01:10

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | hexr Meeting | Current topic: improvements
cprofittI know from personal experience we have some things to improve moving forward01:13
cprofittphillw: did you want to discuss some of the thoughts you had?01:13
cprofittanyone else?01:13
cprofitt#subtopic submissions01:14
phillwcprofitt: just to mention that you and laptop team are quite similar and I hope there is a good flow of informations between you both :)01:14
cprofittphillw: I would hope so as well.01:14
cprofittOne of the things that got me involved was submissions01:15
cprofittright now it is my understanding that submissions are not getting in to UF01:15
cprofittbut I am not sure why that is01:15
pleia2phillw: hm, I thought the laptop testing team was for testing Ubuntu on laptops for upcoming releases, not reporting on how well supported laptops are in current releases01:15
SergioMenesesIm totally agree with pleia2,01:16
phillwpleia2: ergo, one a release is out, that information is available to what is then the 'current' release?01:17
phillw*once*01:17
cprofittI would like to see two things done to improve in regards to submissions01:18
pleia2phillw: but it would be results for when it was in development, so maybe the graphics card for that one laptop finally did end up working once the release happened, the results would be from when it wasn't working :\01:18
pleia2for example01:18
phillwi see, I'll have a chat with the laptop team :)01:18
cprofittpleia2: I agree.. the results from pre-release could would not be invluded in Ubuntu Friendly01:18
pleia2they're both valueable and needed projects, for sure, I just thing they provide different data to different audiences01:19
pleia2s/thing/think01:19
cprofittbut the laptop testing team could, upon release, be a group of people who ran the tests for UF01:19
pleia2cprofitt: indeed!01:19
cprofittand from my understanding the database we are pulling from might actually be the same -- but with different criteria for what information is included01:20
cprofittand also differences in how it gets displayed01:20
pleia2it makes sense for both projects to test the same things01:20
cprofittbut I would need one of the developers to give me more information on that01:20
cprofittI would like to see two things done to improve in regards to submissions01:20
cprofitt1.  some system be put in place to make it easy for those submitting results to know that the results were processed01:21
cprofittif the result was invalid - let them know why01:21
cprofittas a person who has submitted results and never saw my results in UF I know how that can cause someone to lose interest in contributing01:22
pleia2+101:22
cprofitt2.  I would also want to have a group of people that could look at invalid results to ensure that how the data is being processed is accurate -- that the automated system is not makring valid results as invalid01:23
cprofittthis is particularly important as hardware changes...01:23
cprofittfailure to test a card reader when there is no such device present should not invalidate results01:23
cprofittany other comments in regards to submissions?01:24
cprofitt#subtopic checkbox01:24
cprofittthat brings me to one more idea01:25
cprofittthis one is not mine, but one that has been discussed in the qa channel01:25
cprofittthere may be a need to refine checkbox a bit to allow for a 'simple' test01:25
cprofittor in the case of hexr a test of specific hardware01:26
cprofittthe simple test would be an abbreviated test to make sure that basic things like wireless work etc.01:26
cprofittI also had cases when I tested where the automated test 'failed' itself, but I knew the device was working01:27
cprofittI think there should be some sort of mechanism for making a note of that issue built in to checkbox so that changes can be addressed with those issues01:27
cprofitthaving devices 'fail' a test when they are actually working undercuts people's faith in the process and the results.01:28
cprofittany thoughts in that area?01:28
roadmro/01:28
cprofittyes, roadmr01:28
roadmrhello! first, if an automated test fails when the device is working, that means a bug that we'd like to get fixed01:29
roadmrI understand this adds a lot of friction to things, so maybe thinking of ways to make this more effortless may be worthwhile01:29
* cprofitt nods01:29
roadmrsecond, the automated tests are in general more reliable but they are also quite valuable in high-volume environments01:29
roadmrif we assume that people can be trusted, we can potentially use manual test cases instead of automated ones that are most unreliable01:30
roadmreven so, it would be good to collect some information that can be automatically analyzed, maybe server-side01:30
roadmrthis way we can potentially re-score a submission given the raw data, even after-the-fact01:30
pleia2admittedly there is some trust to an extent already in the testing (you can hear a sound, etc)01:30
cprofittI too, would prefer to get the automated tests working... I think human interaction always introduces some potential for error01:30
roadmrthis would however introduce a "we're collecting stuff and sending it up to canonical" factor that some people don't like01:31
cprofittI do like rescoring a submission after the fact01:31
roadmrso this is an area for improvement but we always have the option of doing this manually01:31
cprofittroadmr: in this case I think the 'collecting data' part is voluntary01:31
cprofittat least with checkbox01:31
roadmrcprofitt: yes, well in order to determine what's going on, some extensive logs would need to be collected01:32
* cprofitt nods01:32
roadmrcprofitt: but keeping the user in control would be the best01:32
roadmrpleia2: hehe, we sought to remove the human factor from that by adding an automated audio_test :) so the computer listens to itself01:32
cprofittcould that be an optional part of checkbox -- that a user would opt-in to collecting additional data?01:32
roadmranyway, those are my ideas on this01:32
pleia2roadmr: does it work? I guess I haven't run it in a bit :)01:33
cprofittI appreciate the feedback and information roadmr01:33
roadmrcprofitt: sure, with the current checkbox architecture it feels a bit complex to do, but we can always change that, we should bend the tool to the needs, not the other way around01:33
roadmrpleia2: as long as you have a microphone and speakers, it works and it's very reliable01:33
pleia2nice01:33
cprofittroadmr: +1 we want to make it easy for people to collect data for this type of use -- improving user experience01:34
cprofittroadmr: do you have any insight as to why results are not getting included in to Ubuntu Friendly or is that outside of your scope?01:34
roadmrcprofitt: I have a pretty good idea why, yes01:35
cprofittcould you go a bit in to that for us?01:35
roadmrcprofitt: two components are involved in this, the first is checkbox, which runs the tests, assembles a report and pushes that to launchpad01:36
roadmrthe second is the UF website/application, which pulls the reports (submissions) from launchpad and adds the results to the friendly database (what you see in the website) - does the scoring, aggregation and such01:36
roadmrfor a submission to appear at all, it needs to contain (and pass) all tests identified as "core"01:37
roadmrthe basics for a computer to be usable, if any core tests are failed the submission will not appear in UF01:37
roadmrif it passes the "core" tests, it gets 3 stars, and any additional tests it passes increase its rating, up to 5 stars01:37
roadmra 5-star rating means that all the components we test work perfectly01:38
roadmrso why would a submission not appear?01:38
roadmrsome of the core tests are automated, and checkbox is not very good at 1) telling you one of them failed, and 2) letting you rerun/amend the results01:38
roadmrcheckbox itself has no idea of core tests, so it can't tell you "hey, your card reader didn't work and that means you won't make it into UF - please rerun this before submitting"01:39
cprofittis there currenlty anyway for a person who has submitted the test to see their submissions on launchpad?01:39
roadmrthat's one reason, the second is that since the UF website needs some love, there may have been a bit of "drift" into the tests checkbox submits and performs, the UF site has not been updated as checkbox whitelists (sets of tests to run) change01:40
roadmrthose would be the two main reasons01:40
roadmrcprofitt: there's a cryptic url that you an access to see your submissions, let me find it01:40
cprofittso, it sounds like the key is giving the user some feedback as to if their device failed a core test... and also allowing for them to resubmit01:40
roadmrcprofitt: https://launchpad.net/~/+hwdb-submissions01:40
roadmrcprofitt: yep, again, something that's a bit difficult to do with the current checkbox architecture which is very linear :( think of the difference between linear and non-linear video editing01:41
roadmrin a sense, with checkbox we can only ffwd, rewind, and look at the results at the very end01:41
* cprofitt nods01:41
roadmrwith no/little chance of going back to a specific test.01:42
cprofittexactly...01:42
cprofittit is also my understanding there is no ability to 'pause' a test and come back and pick up where you left off01:42
roadmrthere is, but it's very awkward heheh01:42
cprofittroadmr: is there currently any team that reviews the failed submissions?01:42
roadmrwhat you do basically is murder checkbox, when you restart it does its best to pick up where it left off01:43
roadmrit gives you three choices: rerun the last test, skip to the next one (in case the last test outright crashed the system), or start anew01:43
* cprofitt nods01:43
roadmrthe message is quite terse and the choices are somewhat ambiguous, so most people are/will be confused by this01:43
roadmrcprofitt: reviewing failed submissions, not really, no. It can be done but pretty much the only person who can and knows how to do it is jedimike, by looking at how the UF results importer processed a submission01:44
roadmrhe'd have more specifics on how to do it, but it's done on an ad-hoc basis01:44
cprofittroadmr: thanks01:45
roadmrnp :)01:45
cprofittI asked because I saw that as part of the launchpad team description01:45
cprofittdoes anyone else have any questions for roadmr?01:45
cprofittI would like to set an initial priority for the team moving forward01:46
cprofittI think that we have two high value items01:46
cprofitt1.  Improving the UF website process so that there is some feedback to the person who submitted the system as to the fact the results were processed but failed01:47
cprofitt2.  Documenting the current process - so others can understand it as we start to look at improving it01:47
cprofittare there any other items people see?01:47
cprofittroadmr: would you be willing to procude a flow chart of what you described that we could them use on the wiki?01:48
cprofittjust a rough outline of how the process currently flows?01:48
roadmrcprofitt: sure01:49
roadmrcprofitt: there's some documentation (an outline plus more detailed links) here: https://friendly.ubuntu.com/what-is-ubuntu-friendly/01:49
cprofitt#action roadmr will produce a flow chart of the current process01:49

meetingologyMotion carried01:51
cprofittI think for now we should move towards that; after we get that feedback improved we need to look to make some improvements to checkbox as roadmr mentioned01:52
cprofittany other topics, questions or thoughts?01:52
roadmro/01:52
cprofittyes, roadmr01:52
SergioMeneseswhen is our next meeting?01:53
roadmrhehe, one thing that we *can* potentially do with current checkbox is make it submit directly to a (possibly updated) UF application, so feedback is quicker01:53
roadmrthis needs writing a "plugin" and an accompanying web application, so it would need some coordination01:53
cprofitt+1 roadmr that should be explored01:53
roadmrwe're still on time to make that happen before Ubuntu Feature Freeze, but we'd have to start working soon01:53
* cprofitt nods01:54
roadmrideally we sould ask jedimike if there's a way to submit directly to the UF application, because we may not have a lot of manpower to come up with a new one01:54
roadmrsould/should01:54
cprofittSergioMeneses: I would like us to meet again in two weeks -- I think to be fair to some of the UTC01:54
roadmrthat may be a quick way to reduce the decoupling between submission and actual result processing01:54
cprofittfolks we should have the meeting earlier; though that would require a different person to chair the meeting01:55
SergioMenesesperfect01:55
cprofittroadmr: I know jedimike has spoken to me about that so I will try to touch bases with him about that01:55
cprofittare any of you in the UTC 0/+1 TZ?01:55
phillw'im on utc01:57
cprofittalright... I will send a message to the list and see if I can get a person in that TZ to chair a meeting.01:57
roadmrcprofitt: I'm EST (UTC-5)01:57
cprofittphillw: would you be willing to chair a meeting on the 19th?01:57
cprofittroadmr: I am on your TZ as well01:57
phillwI can if no one steps forward :)01:57
SergioMenesesIm UTC-501:57
cprofittphillw: ok, I will send the request to the list and you will be the fall back01:57
cprofitt#action next meeting February 19th UTC 17:00 - cprofitt will send a message to the list to get a chair01:58
meetingologyACTION: next meeting February 19th UTC 17:00 - cprofitt will send a message to the list to get a chair01:58
phillwwhat time on 19th are you thinking of?01:58

slangasekbarry: not able to replace python-xapian - hmm, have new requirements emerged, or are the alternatives proving to be inadequate?16:05
slangasekbdmurray: planning to upload that new update-notifier upstart job soon?16:06
barryslangasek: probably a conversation to have a bit later ;)16:06
slangasekxnox: speaking of which, is usb-creator getting an upload with the fixed job that's in bzr?16:07
infinityogra_: It's been pointed out that, if you plan to use xz, depending on pxz and using that might make things slightly less painful.16:07
xnoxslangasek: yes. today.16:07
slangasekxnox: yay :)16:07
ogra_infinity, like ... being able to use it on the panda itself ?16:07
bdmurrayslangasek: well, I thought it should really go in hplip and haven't heard from til, additionally waiting for the user session work seems fine.16:08
infinityogra_: Yeah.  It'll still be slower than gzip, but potentially acceptably so.16:08
ogra_infinity, what holds me back from the switch is that i have to re-work so much stuff for it on both sides if i want nusakan to do xz16:08
slangasekbdmurray: ah, ok16:08
ogra_infinity, great, i'll try it then16:08
infinityogra_: Easy enough to take your rootfs tarball and do some local testing on a Panda.16:08
ogra_yep16:08
infinityogra_: See if you can find a sweet spot.16:08
ogra_after i fixed the installer from being completely unusable16:09
slangasekogra_: hunting down livefs breakage> are things currently broken, or currently working?16:09
* ogra_ notes cjwatson isnt iun -desktop 16:09
ogra_slangasek, not working since we dropped a tar option16:09
ogra_i just heard about it now16:09
slangasekogra_: hmm. eta for fix?16:09
ogra_well, worst case i can roll that back immediately and we lose some memory gains cjwatson introduced16:10
infinityogra_: Err, wait.  What?  The dropping of the tar option from the installer?16:10
xnoxac100-tarball-installer that is16:10
infinityogra_: How did that "break" the livefs?16:10
ogra_infinity, droppiing of -m seems to make tar crazy16:10
slangasek * systemd packaging: slow progress16:11
slangasek * ovmf packaging nearly done; edk2 is clearly not structured with distributions in mind16:11
slangasek * reviewing UbuntuKylin package submissions; will mail the TB to ask this to be an official flavor as soon as the core set is accepted16:11
ogra_i havent digged deeper yet (or seen it myself)... i know about it since the meeting started :P16:11
slangasek(done)16:11
infinityogra_: Is there a bug or any sort of analysis?16:11
xnoxwell it worked without -m, but not "without -m and adding --warning=no-timestamp" or so the report says.16:11
ogra_infinity, only chat in #ubuntu-desktop yet16:11

slangasekone is that firefox is helpfully using 100% of a CPU; the other is that X is using 100% of a CPU and not responding interactively16:31

slangasekogra_: X already has a core to itself, it's not doing anything *useful* with it :P16:32
ogra_heh16:32
stgraberxnox: hehe, I just happen to have used a pretty much identical laptop to slangasek's for the past two years and had some X problems in the past ;)16:33
slangasekso I was going to pull up some numbers to see how we're all doing individually wrt the burndown trend line16:33
slangasekbut with my laptop being coy, those numbers are currently not at my fingertips16:33
stgraberxnox: now I'm on a x230 with a different set of problem (mostly caused by me only using displayport displays which apparently nobody does...)16:33
slangasekinstead, I'll just say that you should all be checking your personal status.ubuntu.com page and making sure that you are below the trendline, as of *today*16:34
slangasekif you aren't, that doesn't mean you need to work overtime, it means you need to talk to me to figure out what we need to postpone or move around on the team16:34
slangasekthe team's burndown is above the line, and realistically, we're going to be seeing demands on our time for work not shown on that chart (i.e., work to support the mobile effort)16:34
slangasekso we need to get our priorities squared away wrt the stuff from UDS, so that people know what we are actually delivering this cycl16:35
slangaseke16:35
slangasekany questions?16:35
stgraberslangasek: not sure if that also impacts the team's trendline, but I have 10 Edubuntu work items in my personal chart which if ignored makes me below the trendline16:35
barryslangasek: do in progress count? :)16:35
slangasekalso, note that even with everyone on the team down below the trendline, we'll be above the trendline for the team as a whole because of workitems on our blueprints that are assigned to people not on the team16:36
dokotex-common at version 3.15? that looks wrong ...16:36
evshould we add workitems for things that have come up? For example, I wasn't expecting to do all this prodstack stuff.16:36
slangasekso if you're the assignee for a blueprint that has external workitems, please be sure to check with those folks on how they're doing and if they'll still deliver this cycle16:37
slangasekev: no, burndown charts shouldn't be an exercise in paperwork to make us look productive :)16:37
slangasekbarry: no ;)16:37
infinitydoko: Wrong, how?16:37
* xnox ponders what to do with Low and Undefined priority specs which was mostly community/nice-to-haves16:37
slangasekstgraber: it does impact the team's trendline, but I'll mentally subtract16:37
dokodoesn't approach Pi anymore16:38
infinityHahaha.16:38
slangasekstgraber: so don't worry about faking up the state just to make the trendline happy16:38
xnoxinfinity: it's not hahaha, but a real problem. it should never been 3.15.16:38
stgraberslangasek: good ;)16:38
infinitydoko: There's a 4.xx in experimental, if you really want to be sad about the versions inflating.16:38
xnox /o\ did TeX community go crazy?!16:38
slangasekxnox: realistically, they should probably be postponed; if you run out of todo work items early, you can always rescue them from the postponed pile16:39

xnoxev: True. prodstack is a lot of "prod" in it.16:44

slangasekbarry: !16:45
ogra_barry, bug # ?16:45
ogra_:)16:45
slangaseksounds like we need to file a critical bug against the kernel for that, too16:46
ogra_nx7 is a different kernel though16:46
xnoxbdmurray: but apt-url should handle that fine, but it won't help if browser has now defaulted to open everything with apt-url instead of other mime-handlers.16:46
barryyeah, you know which kernel i'm talkin' 'bout.   i wasn't shaving the yak that day though16:46
ogra_(which doesnt say much, might be present since before the nx7 kernel, who knows)16:46
stgraberwell, kill -9 can be ineffective if the process is stuck in I/O wait (D state)16:46
stgrabernow the source of the I/O wait is usually the bug (and in some cases it's a kernel bug)16:47
bdmurrayxnox: you seem to be knowledgeable about this and in a good position to look at...16:47
slangasekstgraber: it's not in I/O wait, it's actively consuming my CPU16:47
xnoxbdmurray: ok. I'll chat with -desktop folks and try to investigate it.16:48
