[02:06] <phillw> is there anyone here who is dealing with Autopilot? No need to answer me if you are, but please pop onto #ubuntu-quality.
[19:56] <ogra_> an ipv4 EASRER EGG !!!!
[19:56] <ogra_> tracepath 216.81.59.173
[19:56] <ogra_> try that ```
[19:56] <ogra_> cjwatson, tracepath 216.81.59.173
[19:56] <ogra_> so awesome
[20:00] <stgraber> nice :)
[20:01] <infinity> Hahaha.
[20:02] <stgraber> "traceroute -m 200 216.81.59.173" if you don't want it cut
[20:05] <infinity> Seems somewhat appropriate that that block is owned by "Epik Networks".
[20:05] <ogra_> hehe
[20:19] <phillw> Any of the SRU team about that I can ask a quick question of.
[21:09] <infinity> phillw: Don't ask to ask, just ask.
[21:11] <phillw> infinity: I'm in a classroom session, I'll nag you later :)
[21:25] <cjwatson> ogra_: Yeah, I saw that earlier :-)
[21:25] <cjwatson> They went to a lot of effort to set that up
[22:13] <phillw> infinity: cjwatson what are the chances to get Vbox 4.2 into 12.10, or at least 13.04?
[22:21] <cjwatson> phillw: if a developer takes care of it, 13.04 should be reasonable; a new upstream version of vbox in 12.10 is unlikely
[22:22] <infinity> Quite unlikely.
[22:22] <phillw> cjwatson: as VBox is developed by oracle, whom do I ask?
[22:22] <infinity> phillw: As for raring, you might try asking debfx, since he last uploaded it.
[22:22] <infinity> phillw: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/4.1.22-dfsg-0ubuntu2 <-- Points to the uploader.
[22:24] <phillw> infinity: thanks, as for getting the bug in testdrive progressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/testdrive/+bug/1098080 who needs to progress that one (It's a stupidly silly patch to let test drive know that VBox is 4.2)
[22:24] <ubot2> Ubuntu bug 1098080 in testdrive (Ubuntu) "Testdrive gets stuck on "configuring Virtual Machine" if Virtualbox 4.2 is installed" [Undecided,In progress]
[22:27] <infinity> phillw: Again, you might look at who the bug is assigned to.
[22:28] <phillw> again, thanks
[22:28] <phillw> I cannot see this being resolved for 12.10. hopefully it can get before the deadline for 13.04
[22:29] <infinity> As a general rule, people don't put a lot of effort into making old software support new software that's not in the same release.
[22:30] <infinity> So, since vbox 4.2 isn't in Q, there's little call to make everything in Q support vbox 4.2
[22:30] <infinity> (And it's not in R yet either, for that matter)
[22:34] <phillw> infinity: we got to holding classroom sessions for virtualisation quite late.
[22:35] <infinity> phillw: Sure, but why are you using some out-of-archive vbox to do so?
[22:36] <infinity> Anyhow, the testdrive patch looks obviously non-intrusive, I'm sure you could talk whoever fixes it in raring into SRUing that back, and it would be fine.
[22:36] <phillw> infinity: I installed the 4.2 as the one on the repos doesn't work with virtual disks, and then VB4.2 breaks testdrive...
[22:38] <phillw> at least you good people put in the patch for guest-fish for libguestfs into 12.10 so we do have a fully working virt-manager :)
[22:41] <phillw> at least we know the affect on testdrive that will be caused by including VBox 4.2. I'd never have spotted that in a million years :)
