bjfcan you clearly state what you think the policy is today and what the difference is with your new plan?15:07

xnoxWell - the desktop .X releases have only the lts-backports kernel. Thus to "get older" kernel, one installs using older .0 image.15:08
xnox...15:08
xnoxbut raring-lts kernel is support for the lifetime of the LTS.15:09
bjfthe default for 12.04.2 is the Quantal kernel15:09
bjfthe default for 12.04.3 will be raring15:09
xnoxthat's on the desktop images, but i don't think that was the case on the server images.15:09
xnoxwould be interesting if server ISOs follow same as the Cloud images.15:09
smoserxnox, personally, thats completely unacceptable.15:09
bjfxnox, i thought that was supposed to be the default for all15:09
smbThe only pressing reason to ship the newer kernel would be if the cloud-image is run on hardware that would not run on the older kernel. OTherwise it should be simple to pull in the meta package for lts to switch over15:10
chilukno upgrade step is a big problem.  because most people see lts = 5 years of support ..  whereas lts+raring backport would have a 9 month support window.15:10
xnoxsmoser: sure. that's just what the current state is on the desktop cds.... =(15:10
xnoxbjf: let me double check quickly.15:11
bjfchiluk, lts+raring is more than 9 months15:11
bjfchiluk, lts+raring is until 14.04.115:11
bjfchiluk, that's lts-backport-raring15:11
timrcg+ hangout keeps dying on me… is this happening for anyone else?15:14
marcoceppitimrc: not here, it's been going strong since start15:14
bjftimrc, working fine here15:14
arosaleschiluk, there were always be the LTS (percise ) kernel where the 5 years of support lies.  The latter interim release kernels will have the 9 months of support15:14
xnoxtimrc: refresh the page. It works ok for me, but I am on a good wifi.15:14
chilukI'm more worried about the confusion it will generate.15:14
timrcbjf: argh, okay.  Thanks!15:14
bjfarosales, that is not correct for lts-backport kernels15:14
xnoxarosales: lts-backport kernels have support from when they become part of the 12.04.X release up until throughout the rest LTS support cycle.15:15
bjfarosales, lts-backport kernels for precise will be supported until 14.04.115:16
xnoxincluding security fixes. See, the USN against all of them.15:16
arosalesbjf, xnox: would you be interested in joining the hangout to provide additional info on backports?15:16
xnoxnah =)15:16
* xnox thought this is more about server.iso but it seems like it's all about the cloud-images.15:16
bjfarosales, sure15:17
bjfxnox, did you figure out what the default kernel is for 12.04.2?15:18
=== ts2 is now known as tsimpson_
smbutlemming, For mass rollout could one not just change the seed to include the lts kernel meta package15:19
smoserutlemming, right.15:19
smoserthat is the suggestion of re-bundling images15:19
smoseruser can do this already15:19
smosersmb, do you know do the 12.04.X isos install the backports kernels?15:22
smbsmoser, Not 100% but I would expect them to15:22
smbCause of size restrictions on the iso15:22
smoserright. so i know it doens't hav 2 kernels.15:23
smbsmoser, It _is_ 3.5 (Quantal)15:25
smosergracias.15:26
smbutlemming, So they VM would not initially boot with the old kernel?15:27
utlemmingsmb: that depends15:27
chilukhongout on air failing..15:28
smbchiluk, running for me15:28
arosalesquick bottom of the hour check15:32
arosalesAny question still outstanding that haven't been answered in the hangout?15:32
rtg_bjf, remember that quantal  is special 'cause we promised 18 months, but saucy and other interim releases only get 9 months.15:34
bjfrtg, true15:36
bjfrtg_, we said all lts-hwe kernels get until the first point release of the next lts15:37
bjfhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BradFigg/SupportSchedule15:37
bjfrtg_, ^15:37
bjfrtg, so, not true15:37
bjfogasawara, ^15:37
rtg_bjf, ogasawara - we gotta discuss this on mumble after the session15:37
ogasawarartg_: ack15:38
ogasawarartg_: but I agree with bjf, we agreed to special case support for some of the release until the 14.04.1 time frame15:38
ogasawaraelse we'd leave users unsupported15:38
ogasawarartg_: I think we need to update some of the schedules and policies per discussions coming out of the sprint15:39
ogasawarabjf et al, lets follow up in our kernel misc session later today15:39
ogasawarasmoser, arosales ^^15:40
bjfogasawara, ack15:40
ogasawaraI'd planned on talking about HWE kernels there anyways15:40
arosalesogasawara, thanks, will do.15:40
smoserogasawara, ack15:40
smbarosales, utlemming last session toda15:42
utlemmingsmb: I'll be there15:42
arosalessmb, ogasawara the session is http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1305/meeting/21777/foundations-1305-kernel/ correct?15:44
ogasawaraarosales: correct15:44
ogasawaraarosales: let me know if you or someone from you team want to be in the actual hangout for that15:44
bjfarosales, ok, we'll cover this again in the afternoon session but the kernel team has agreed to the support as i stated it, until the next lts .1 release15:44
arosalesogasawara, thanks. I think utlemming will want to be there15:45
ogasawaraarosales: ack15:45
xnoxPrecise is that good =)15:45
xnoxi wonder if any of them will upgrade to 14.04.....15:45
smbUsually VMs are more stable about hw emulation.15:45
smbExcept probably the case utlemming mentioned15:46
smoserits interesting actually.15:47
smoseryou just have an immature hypervisor15:47
smoserwhich is the same as having immature hardware15:47
smoseronly it can actually change *faster* than hardware could.15:47
smoserxen and kvm were immature at osme point. as was vmware.15:47
utlemmingwhich is the reason why HyperV and HWE kernels are interesting15:48
utlemmingHyperV moves fast15:48
smoserimmature things move fast15:48
arosalesAny other questions?15:48

zygahi16:06
arosaleszyga, hello16:06
arosalesping me if any folks would like to join the hangout16:07
geofftI can hear you after reloading my YouTube page.16:07
arosalesPlease pre-sed questions with "[QUESTION]"  so we can be sure we don't miss them.16:07
geoffter, wrong channel16:07
zygaI don't know if this is the session but I'd like to see more support for vagrant images in general: in particular, desktop images16:07
zygaas a generic platform for testing16:08
arosaleszyga, this is mainly for cloud images, but the idea is to use that in a desktop platform.16:08
arosalesie make it easier for a Ubuntu deploys in vagrant16:08
arosalesso while this is not specifically for desktop images, it would be applicable for desktop vagrant workflows16:09
arosalesjcastro asks, "what about virtualbox itself?16:11
arosaleswould we need to mainline that too?"16:11
arosaleshello jcastro. I just asked your question, "what about virtualbox itself? Would we need to mainline that too?"16:11
zygaarosales: existence of official vagrant desktop images would allow for a lot of testing that is currently splintered across various tools, to happen. I don't know if that is doable easily with the current infrastructure. I don't want to talk about this during the session too much but I would like to point out the usefulness16:13
jcastroso what work is hardest, mainlining vbox or getting vagrant working on kvm?16:13
utlemmingjcastro: mainlining vbox16:13
jcastrobummer. :)16:13
zygajcastro: vagrant upstream is very interested in additional backends and there are existing talks about kvm16:13
* jcastro nods16:13
jcastrook so vbox to get it out and working, and then kvm-long term for linux users16:15
arosalesvbox also is a good platform for other devs such as OSX users developing for Ubuntu16:15
arosaleskvick, hello16:15
kvickPlease keep in mind that the vagrant author thinks vbox is terrible16:15
jcastroheh16:15
zygaone thing you may need to remember about is vagrant likes to use guest filesystem sharing (which is useful for development targetting ubuntu, eg webapps work) and this has no direct replacement in kvm. There is a mode to use nfs but it's not the default16:16
zygaer16:16
zygahost filesystem16:16
smoserzyga, plan9 is that.16:16
arosaleskvick, do you have any pain points for the current vagrant/ubuntu workflow?16:20
utlemmingzyga: plan9 is the shared fs...and that works really well.16:20
kvickbesides chef not being already installed in 12.04 :)  I know it's a licence issue that is resolved in later versions16:21
zygautlemming: are you really proposing to use plan9?16:22
zygautlemming: I know about what plan9 is but I have no experience with it16:22
jcastroman I didn't even know people used plan9, hah16:23
kvickthanks for the explanation.  makes sense16:26
arosaleshttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-q-chef also for reference for the work done to get chef updated16:27
arosaleskvick, I think utlemming does have some thoughts on using backports for a way for betting the story on 12.04 though16:29
arosalesthe 12.04 vagrant story that is.16:29
jcastroit is certainly an awesome local dev story16:34
utlemmingI can't hear Mims16:35
arosalesm_3, coming through ok for me.16:35
jcastrom_3: +50!16:36
utlemmingcan I get a repeat?16:36

utlemminghttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5665285/18:13
smoserany questions18:31
smoser?18:31
rbasakI wonder how many people start cloud instances today without writing or knowing how to write cloud-init userdata?18:49
rbasakThus I think the defaults matter18:50
rbasakHow about a "fast" option in userdata instead, which drops all the slow stuff? Then the default will still be good.18:50
rbasakSorry I think my stream is lagging.18:50
arosales cloud-init session wrapped up18:52
arosalesutlemming, smoser do you guys want to work off of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-s-cloud-init18:53
rbasaksmoser, utlemming: I meant in relation to dropping things like universe and backports by default from the images.18:53
utlemmingrbasak: actually it would be adding them to the inmages by default. Right now, neither are there18:54
rbasakOh, OK18:54
rbasak+1 to making the images easier to use by default18:54
rbasakThen we can blog about how to make the cloud images more streamlined via userdata after adding that option. I think it fits Ubuntu better by preferring to make the images more useful with less intervention to more people.18:55
smoserrbasak, some smart person decided not to jump on the "throw everything in apt sources list" band wagon18:55
smoseri disagree.18:56
smoseri htink the *are* usable by more people by default by having less garbage.18:56
rbasakHmm, OK.18:56
rbasakI don't feel too strongly about it, and we don't seem to have any other feedback.18:56
smoserin reality, the change if we included backports, mulitiverse, partner , the download and apt-decompression time makes 'apt-get update' take like twice as long.18:57
smoseri think a general tool for manipulating the common repositories would be nice... and cloud-init then just interacting with it.18:58
smoserbasically like apt-add-repository18:58
smoserbut have that support 'multiverse' , 'universe'18:58
smoserand have 'apt-remove-repository'18:58
rbasakI have a really horrible thought18:58
smoseryou have 1 minute.18:58
rbasakSpecial userdata "keywords" like "fast" and "full-featured" (and nothing else) that cloud-init automatically interprets with pre-set defaults.18:58
smoser:)18:59
smoser"ha"18:59
smoserand "money making"18:59
smoseralso18:59
smoser:)18:59
rbasakCould just be a pointer to a preset userdata file supplied by the package.19:00
