smartboyhwNoskcaj: create a VM, and run commands that will show the RAM in the VM00:59
Noskcajsmartboyhw, i meant what file do i put the stuff into, or can i run it from the source code?00:59
smartboyhwNoskcaj: Have you edited the code yet? If yes, just do "python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install && testdrive-gtk"01:03
Noskcajok, thanks. i've put up a merge for my other fix too01:04
smartboyhwNoskcaj: I'm currently damned with adding Ubuntu GNOME and UbuntuKylin in:( It keeps on saying there's a NoneError when it shouldn't01:05
Noskcaj:(, maybe netboot would be easier to add01:06
smartboyhwI'm worrying that the ui code is much larger (when I looked at the gtk change for Lubuntu I was amazed by the diff)01:06
smartboyhwNoskcaj: Of course netboot was easier:P01:06
Noskcajit didn't work :(01:08
Noskcajdo you know how the "other" setting is meant to work?01:09
smartboyhwNoskcaj: I dunno, that "other" setting was broken. It should show up a dialog box for us to choose the size, but it didn't.01:10
Noskcajthought so01:10
Noskcajalso, i think parrellels is broken01:13
smartboyhwNoskcaj: I wonder who uses Parallels these days.01:14
Noskcajno one, we should get it taken out, or fixed01:14

Noskcajshould we have lubuntu as a default in testdrive?02:03
smartboyhwNoskcaj: How's your Testdrive hacking?03:37
Noskcajsmartboyhw, i've got a branch with lubuntu as a default tab now. i've not done much else because i'm trying to run some iso tests. you?03:40
smartboyhwNoskcaj: Lubuntu as default tab? Why?03:41
Noskcajsmartboyhw, many people want it, and it's now used more than Xubuntu or Kubuntu03:42
smartboyhwNoskcaj: For the last sentence, I need figures.03:42
smartboyhwLubuntu is OK to be as default03:43
Noskcajdistrowatch.org is the only thing, also activity on social networks is higher than xubuntu (probably because of ali linx)03:43
smartboyhwBut your last sentence needs solid proof03:43
Noskcajenough proof for you or do i need to try and find more?03:46
smartboyhwNoskcaj: Rebuttal in http://linuxcounter.net/distributions/stats.html03:47
Noskcajok, but you'll admit usage is pretty similar, rebuttal: more testing is done for lubuntu03:49
smartboyhwNoskcaj: That's not proof. People can like Kubuntu but have no time to test.03:50
Noskcajtrue. this is a really stupid argument03:50
smartboyhwNoskcaj: And for god's sake, Lubuntu has more testers because they have old hardware03:51
smartboyhwI don't care a **** about old hardware03:51
Noskcajok03:52
smartboyhwIndeed, I hate powerpc because it wastes so much time to build packages03:52
NoskcajMy actual point: Lubuntu has enough users/testers to warrant a tab in testdrive's default03:52
Noskcajsmartboyhw, i tolerate ppc, because i have no reason not to03:53
smartboyhwNoskcaj: Yep sure.03:53
smartboyhwNoskcaj: You have no reason, I have.03:53
smartboyhwSome Kubuntu people don't even understand the need of amd64+mac ISOs.03:54
Noskcajthat is understandable, kubuntu ppc isn't because no-one has tested it for a year03:55

smartboyhwThe problem: How come the setup.py build doesn't update the UI file!?07:21
Noskcajsmartboyhw, what did i miss while my internet went down?07:25
smartboyhwNoskcaj, you miss my blibering about Testdrive builds not updating the UI files in /usr/share07:26
Noskcajlol, repost or pm them to my, i care for some reason07:27

smartboyhwThat sentence was just my only sentence about this.07:27

smartboyhwI can't test...07:29
Noskcajcould you just uninstall then install?07:33
smartboyhwNoskcaj, trying07:33
smartboyhwNoskcaj, I think the problem is that I just simply dunno how to make the dirs work within setup.py install07:49
Noskcajwe need to get dustin or andre to show us how the internals of testdrive work07:50

Noskcaj:) now you've done that we really need one of the guys to merge some stuff.07:53
Noskcajthere are 3 old merges, plus two from me07:54
smartboyhwNoskcaj, good question.07:54
smartboyhwNoskcaj, I think we'll need to ask Dustin to add one of us guys to the team.07:54
Noskcajsmartboyhw, yep. should we send him and andre an email?07:55
smartboyhwNoskcaj, you send:P07:55
smartboyhwNoskcaj, I'm not sure about the idea that PowerPC should be added to Testdrive.07:55
smartboyhwAs phillw once pointed out, it would be useless to emulate PowerPC architecture on an amd64 or i386 computer07:56

Noskcaji wonder if that will work, andres and dustin might be busy08:18
smartboyhwNoskcaj, the third point you asked Dustin and Andres is a bit weird08:19
smartboyhwYou can set it up in Launchpad yourself08:19
smartboyhwI can easily have 5 e-mails, IIRC.08:19
Noskcajas in they each have 7 email addresses on their LP, it's confusing08:19

smartboyhwNoskcaj, 1. No, unless you propose to knome and 2. Also no:P08:22

Noskcajwhy don't you have a gaming PC? it's a requirement of life ;)08:23
smartboyhwNoskcaj, I don't game.08:23
Noskcaj:( Have you built a PC?08:24
smartboyhwNoskcaj, no either (I need a budget)08:24
Noskcajok, i've built heaps. three for myself (server, gaming and one that broke) plus a heap for other people where i volunteer08:25
smartboyhwNoskcaj, can you get me one with 8-core AMD processors, and 16GB RAM (for free:P)?08:25

Letozaf_Noskcaj, hello :)08:34
Noskcajhey Letozaf_08:34
Letozaf_Noskcaj, howzit ?08:34
Noskcajgood08:35
Letozaf_Noskcaj, tell me about testdrive and how I can get involved sounds interesting :)08:35
NoskcajLetozaf_, testdrive is a "hub" program from  iso testing. it is written near entirely in python and has large amounts of probably useless code.08:37
Noskcajsmartboyhw probably understands it better than me, i've just been reporting bugs, mostly08:37
Letozaf_Noskcaj, I have only used it for a while until it stopped working properly and so now I use Virtualbox08:38
Letozaf_Noskcaj, but if I can help out I am here08:39
Noskcajbzr branch lp:testdrive if you want to have a look at the code, sudo apt-add-repository https://launchpad.net/~testdrive/+archive/ppa then sudo apt-get install testdrive08:39
Noskcajtestdrive has an official irc channel, but no-one has used it for years08:40
Noskcajit has 2 administrators who maven't had the time to do much08:41
Letozaf_Noskcaj, thanks I will have a look at it, are you going to start to use that channel now ?08:41
NoskcajLetozaf_, no, we'll just use this channel, testdrive is now supported by the QA team08:41
Letozaf_Noskcaj, ok fine08:42
NoskcajLetozaf_, the main thing anyone can do is confirm all these bugs. i reported most of them08:44
Letozaf_Noskcaj, ok I will do it08:45
Noskcajthanks Letozaf_ that would help a lot08:45
Letozaf_Noskcaj, :)08:46

smartboyhwphillw: Ah that I remember, how's it?17:44
phillwit went well, people taking down notes of various links and asking questions :D17:44
smartboyhwphillw: How many people are interested in QA?17:45
phillwhaving WiFi speeds of upto 1000 kB/s was a new experience for me :)17:45
smartboyhwphillw: 1 MB/s whoa! That's slow:P17:46
phillwout of 15 attendees, 6 are seriously interested :)17:46
smartboyhwphillw: What sort of talks are there except QA?17:47
phillwthere was a presentation on vim, which F/OSS applications replace commercial ones, a python presentation on some of the tools that people may not be aware of, use of virtual machines etc.17:48
phillwit was all recorded, so I hope to get a link to where it is posted up once it has been edited.17:49

phillwAudacious has a sibling20:39
phillwNoskcaj: it imports restricted-extras, which need approval for,20:40

SergioMenesesNoskcaj, it works perfectly21:06
NoskcajSergioMeneses, it always opens things in KVM21:07
SergioMenesesI selected and iso file and open it21:07
phillwNoskcaj: yeah, I saw earlier. Also ubuntu-gnome will need adding. Unless testdrive is translated into chineese I do not think adding ubuntu-kylin needs adding. But, it may worth contacting the testdrive folks to see if they can support such a thing, at which point I will ask the -kylin team for their views on getting it translated.21:07
* SergioMeneses is changing kvm to vbox21:07
Noskcajphillw, as he probably told you, smartboyhw has added kylin and is working on gnome and netboot21:08
Noskcajmaybe he could try a translation after that21:08
SergioMenesesNoskcaj, you're right, if you use Ctrl+O, it use kvm by default21:09
SergioMenesesalways happen21:09
Noskcaji'll try and find my bug about that SergioMeneses21:09
phillwSergioMeneses oddly enough, one of the guys who does presentations for F/OSS has also migrated from VBox to KVM. It's truely F/OSS and does not need the restricted-extras bit to become fully functional.21:09
