phillwhi SergioMeneses how goes life?01:24
SergioMenesesphillw, arriving at home and you?01:26
SergioMenesesI saw your email to ubuntu-laptop-testing01:26
phillwI'm doing well, shortly to bed ( 02:27 here)01:27
SergioMenesesphillw, that sounds awesome! I'm sleepy01:31
phillwI'm hopeful one will reply before I have to submit the time table to the classroom team and advertising.01:33
JoseeAntonioRyou already pinged one people in there01:33
JoseeAntonioRs/people/person01:34
SergioMenesesphillw, perfect01:36
phillwSergioMeneses: if one of that team can say that will be the classroom sessions held in that time scale, I'm happy to let it stay as TBA01:39
SergioMenesesphillw, prime or carla should response soon ;) dont worry01:40
SergioMenesesI dont know if I can be present, so I dont take the responsibility yet01:40
phillwSergioMeneses: 36 hours, hopefully one / both will respond by then. It'd be a shame to lose it from our week of quality on the classroom area with the advertising. Heck, I got a new lubuntu tester by doing a 30 min session on ubuntu open week :D01:43
SergioMenesesphillw, ;)01:44
SergioMenesesphillw, I'm trying to get all isos for testing this weekend01:49
=== _salem is now known as salem_
phillwSergioMeneses: great, soz, been busy with other little jobs..... It's been one of those days :)03:13
SergioMenesesphillw, like all us03:13
phillwSergioMeneses: yeah, I had a trainee bug triager needing a bit of help. Heck, we were all noobs once :)03:17
phillwTLoT was available to help reverse his couple of errors.... It happens to us all :)03:19
pittiGood morning03:53
SergioMenesesphillw, you're right03:56
SergioMenesespitti, morning03:56
pittihey SergioMeneses, how are you?03:57
SergioMenesespitti, good :D03:57
SergioMenesesI'm goint out to bed now03:57
SergioMenesesguys always is good to talk to you, see you later03:57
SergioMenesesgood night03:57
pittigood night!04:02
phillwhi pitti what you doing up this time of day?04:17
pittifixing pm-utils and answering email :)04:17
phillwpitti: one day, I successfully get you to run a classroom session.... I've known you far too long for you to plead "I'm a N00b" :D04:24
pittiheh04:24
pittiI did a few in the past, but it's been a while04:24
phillwpitti: As a certain Mr Murray is doing one, I think that you should make yourself available :)04:26
phillwpitti: I'm even now looking into how we do this for the start of 14.04, as that will be an LTS, our classroom sessions in 13.04 were beta release, our 13.10 ones are RC. :)04:29
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
PatrickdkI'm just finishing moving to 12.04, now that it is stable enough05:10
Patrickdkand talk of 14.04 :)05:10
phillwPatrickdk: whilst we test ubuntu+1, we also have to plan for ubuntu+2 :)05:34
Patrickdkya, since it changed from testing to quality, I got completely lost05:35
Patrickdkbut managed to get my own personal 12.04 tested and rolled out only a few months behind the offical 12.04, just takes time to schedule things05:35
phillwwe run at the bleeding edge, especially for testing tools :)05:36
Patrickdkya, I used to do the testing runs, for iscsi, jeos, and the like05:37
Patrickdkmainly cause I'm concerned with ubuntu server05:38
phillwPatrickdk: oh, buggeration... that has reminded me that I need to set up the iSCSI server area.....05:38
phillwI just need to check that the ipV4 address is now free for me to re-use (They're getting as rare as hens' teeth :D )05:40
Patrickdkthis is what nat -> nat -> nat -> nat -> nat is for :)05:40
Patrickdkjust don't attempt udp05:40
Patrickdkthey did just assign a /10 cgn block, that range is going get rather interesting05:41
phillwPatrickdk: I have a dedi server with 2 blocks of RIPE vpV4 addresses (4 in each), they are getting pretty hard to get hold of now, unless you want to pay a 'management' fee for your server :(05:44
Patrickdkya, I don't have to deal with that05:45
Patrickdkhave blocks from arin, so just have to pay the yearly $10005:46
Patrickdkand my servers are happy05:46
phillwPatrickdk:  I pay 1GB / month for each of mine. I'm quite okay with that :D05:47
phillwI have as many ipV6's as I want (well, millions) for free, but ipV4 dedicated addresses (not shared) are getting rarer05:48
phillws/1 GB / 1GBP05:49
Patrickdkya, I have been thinking I should get another /2405:49
phillwi have enough to what number of VM's my little dedi server can cope with.05:50
Patrickdk:)05:50
PatrickdkI have almost 300 vm's on a single server05:50
phillw16GB of RAM does run out :)05:50
Patrickdk144gigs ram there05:50
Patrickdkno vm has <4gigs ram05:51
phillwI guess you use KVM for it?05:51
Patrickdkno, vmware05:51
Patrickdkkvm mem dedup just isn't good enough05:51
phillwwhy not the kernel ops?05:51
Patrickdkand I can't remember if it got memory compression05:52
Patrickdkkernel ops?05:52
phillwkvm is built into the kernel, it is the same as used for cloud05:52
PatrickdkI know what kvm, and it still has serious limitations and slowness05:53
Patrickdkif you don't exceed your memory, you will be fine with kvm05:53
PatrickdkI still has some issues with kvm's paravirt drivers05:54
Patrickdkbut when I ran the same workload in kvm, and it took 45min, and ran it in vmware and it took 25min05:54
PatrickdkI think I know what one I should use05:54
phillwindeed, just as the 'open cloud' players say it is open source, and then tie in their own 'private' stuff to make you pay for it :)05:56
phillwBut, I could also choose Virtual Box.... such is life :)05:57
Patrickdkoh, please no05:57
PatrickdkI couldn't even get that to run stable enough to test with05:57
Patrickdkin this case I was comparing for laptop usage, kvm vs vmware workstations vs virtualbox05:58
phillwAhh, it argues the hell with the in built kernel kvm stuff unless you remove that part of the kernel 1st :D05:58
phillwI've got someone else to run the VBox classroom session, I'm sticking with the totally 100% free KVM :)05:59
Patrickdkwell, it's 3hours past bed, and critical san failure is fixed :)05:59
Patrickdksad when you have a full HA san unit06:00
Patrickdkand before you cause a failure, you attempt to move load off the unit to be worked on, and it goes down hard06:01
phillwPatrickdk: good to chat, do keep in touch. I'm interested to know just how GPL vmware actually is.06:01
Patrickdkwell, that is the trick to vmware, like most other things, like redhat06:01
Patrickdkit's very gpl06:01
phillwMy dedi lives away from home in a server farm, less worries about a/c :)06:01
Patrickdkexcept for the completely inhouse part :)06:01
phillwI'm trained in RedHat (even passed the exams). My dedi server runs CentOs, just to keep costs down.06:02
Patrickdk0 centos installs here06:03
Patrickdkabout 40 rhel6 installs06:03
Patrickdkand around 40 or so ubuntu06:03
phillwoddly enough, all of mine are ubuntu server 12.04 LTS. funny how things go :)06:03
Patrickdkand near 600 windows06:03
phillwNo Scientific Linux users?06:04
Patrickdkna06:04
Patrickdksome suse, but only vmware stuff06:04
phillwI'm seriously considering moving to it.06:04
phillwCentOs people are pretty arrogant06:05
Patrickdkall 2 of them?06:05
phillwlol, there are a lot of CentOs users :P06:05
Patrickdkya, but users don't roll out security updates06:06
Patrickdkand they where lagging a good month+ behind rhel06:06
Patrickdkwhy I would never touch them06:06
phillwall security stuff comes from rhek06:06
phillw*rhel06:06
Patrickdkyes, and if it really takes a month to do a straight repack06:06
phillwand for rhel, you have to pay each month... hardly F/OSS :)06:07
PatrickdkI rarely see rhel and ubuntu lagging a week06:07
PatrickdkI don't mind paying06:07
Patrickdkthat is the least of my issues06:08
phillwI do, as my VM's are free to the people who use them. It is not a business for me.06:08

pitti$ run-adt-test -s -P deja-dup07:41
pittitr: extra operand 'o'07:41
pittiquoi ?07:41
pittiah, --proposed works; I'll look at that07:42
pittijibel: did you ever see the "ssh ... localhost sudo adt-run .." hang forever in run-adt-test?08:18
pittijibel: when I run that command standalone on a shell, it doesn't hang, but if I run it with the full "run-adt-test -sUkd squid3" it does (I verified that adt-run has finished in the VM)08:18
* pitti goes to slam some -vv and strace around it08:20
jibelpitti, I didn't see this hang08:21
pittijibel: ok, thanks; I'll debug08:21
jibelpitti, is it only with squid3 ?08:21
pittiyes, apparently08:21
=== mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|ofp
=== mmrazik|ofp is now known as mmrazik
pittijibel: so, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5738202/ helps09:03
pittijibel: I'm not really sure why, but the other ssh command there also uses it (forcing tty allocation)09:04
jibelpitti, but why would it fail only for squid309:12
pittijibel: I don't know really; especially since running the same ssh command from a terminal works just fine09:12
pittiperhaps the squid3 test forks something, or does something to its stdout/err09:13
pittiour script does exec 2>&1, I'll try that with a manual ssh again09:13
pittioh, interesting09:15
pittiso putting that "ssh localhost run-adt" command into a shell script still works; adding exec 2>&1 above it also still works09:16
pittinot sure what's really different from calling it from run-adt-test09:16
apwwho looks after the boot speed testing jenkins test ...10:20
apwi am looking to understand how the machines are provisioned, and whether they10:20
apwrecently changes from raring to saucy10:20
apwgema, ^^10:26
apwgema, specifically i am interested in the jump in the kernel grpahs here: http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/bootspeed/machine/1/amd64/10:26
apwdoes that correspond to raring->saucy10:26
gemaapw: looking10:28
gemaapw: the results from 20130424 is the last raring image10:31
gemathe next one is 20130502, and that was already raring10:31
gemaapw: not sure what jump you refer to10:32
gemaapw: I am going to ask the guys to color code the bars if that is possible, to be able to see when we changed release10:32
gemaor add the release name to the runs table: http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/bootspeed/job-bugs/image/10:34
apwgema, second and third bars have distict jumps in them about 7-8 bars from the right10:35
apwgema, on this graph: http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/bootspeed/machine/1/amd64/10:35
gemaapw: the kernel graph or the generic one?10:40
gemaoh, you are talking about the kernel one10:41
gemavery clear jump10:41
gemaapw: do you know you can zoom in, right?10:41
gemathere is a jump up between the 20130520 and 2013052410:42
gemaI remember we changed from server images to desktop images10:42
gemabut I don't remember exactly when10:42
gemaso I am going to find that out10:42
gemain kernel init there's also a regression between the same two10:43
gemaapw: nuclearbob is not online right now10:44
gemaI can check with him tomorrow morning10:44
gemahe is in japan this month10:44

shadeslayerjibel: ping, got a moment to talk about otto?13:45
jibelshadeslayer, hey, sure, how can I help?14:37
shadeslayerjibel: hiya, my primary questions are, a) Can we use otto to do upgrade testing like auto-upgrade-tester , b) Can otto be run on EC2 ( I don't think those have a graphics card ) and c) I can't seem to run otto on Kubuntu ISOs, screen goes blank, I read this is an issue and tried the commands in doc/README , still didn't work14:39
shadeslayers/we/I/14:39
shadeslayerunfortuantely, if I run otto on my work machine it kills my running KDE instance as well14:40
jibelshadeslayer, it'll probably need some fixes/updates to run with KDE, I only tried with lightdm, for example the autologin bits are really specific to this dm14:41
shadeslayerjibel: Kubuntu uses lightdm :)14:42
jibelshadeslayer, ah ok, that shows my knowledge of kde :) I'll give it a try an see how it goes14:42
jibelwell kubuntu14:43
shadeslayerokay, thanks alot14:43
shadeslayerwhat about a and b? :P14:43
jibelshadeslayer, regarding ec2, it should work as long as LXC in VMs is supported14:43
shadeslayerisn't EC2 a LXC container itself?14:44
shadeslayerbecause one can launch X on an EC2, but when I ran otto, it said that it couldn't find a graphics card14:44
shadeslayerso I thought that maybe that's why it failed14:44
jibelshadeslayer, for a) you can do upgrade testing but really the purpose was to do UI testing with direct access to the hardware, so for upgrade testing you'd rather use lxc directly14:45
shadeslayerokay14:45

thomiballoons: joining us for this autopilot planning call?19:28
balloonsthomi, sure thing19:29
thomiballoons: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/b73c6b041872d401efb62cef6a957823dd4bca5a19:29
DanChapmanhey everyone :-)19:47
=== fginther is now known as fginther|afk
balloonshey DanChapman20:23
balloonsbusy day today :-)20:23
DanChapmanballoons, Yeah been getting stuck into ubiquity took me a while to figure out a good host-to-vm solution then xorg kept crashing, grrr can't wait for that bug fix :D How's your day been?20:25
DanChapmangood to see we can enhance terminal test :)20:26
balloonsjust met with the autopilot guys.. robotfuel has a way he thinks to work around the issue with gtk apps not introspecting20:27
DanChapmanoh cool that sounds good.... when is that going to planned for?20:28
balloonshe has to investigate it.. perhaps he'll share a bit more :-)20:28
DanChapmannice be good to get into firefox, thunderbird and maybe even have a group effort at libreoffice :D20:30
DanChapmanballoons, Is the next hackfest going to be on the core ubuntu touch apps?20:31
balloonsDanChapman, indeed we've invitied everyone who wishes to come20:36
balloonshowever, it's not like we can't do other things :-)20:36
balloonsmanual and other autopilot test hacking is always welcome :)20:36
DanChapmanSweet, I think i would like to carry on getting through the Gtk apps though. Be awesome to see everyone all hacking autopilot together across the board :D20:37
balloonsexactly :-) See if we can get some new blood in20:38
balloonsthat sounds like such a weird term20:38
balloonsugh.. new blood20:38
DanChapmanlol20:38
balloonshow's ubiquity coming along?20:38
DanChapmanyeah not bad been battling with my macbook though and xorg issues, am going to buy a thinkpad E530 over the weekend and get rid of this thing. Then can get into it properly hopefully without the issues i am getting now :-(20:41
balloonsmm.. sorry to hear of the issues20:42
DanChapmanI will keep battling on for now though. :D20:44
balloons:-)20:45
DanChapmanAt least ive learnt my lesson ;-) and won't lose my test again20:45
balloonslol.. indeed!20:46
DanChapmanthis was the solution i ended up with http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5739965/ once setup it easier than using bzr branches20:47
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
robotfuelballoons: it doesn't look like there is a way for nautilus to spawn a new process like gnome-terminal, but you can use a subprocess of nautilus -q (which makes nautlius quit) before launching it with autopilot20:53
balloonsrobotfuel, so what we be the full steps needed to get it working?20:54
balloonsDanChapman, nice set of notes20:55
balloonsI wonder if we can share that somehow20:55
robotfuelballoons: I'll pastebin something20:55
balloonsthanks :-)20:55
robotfuelballoons: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5740039/21:00
balloonsrobotfuel, ahh.. I was just curious about your other idea21:01
balloonsbut indeed it works21:01
balloonsautopilot vis now sees nautilus and the new version launched is happy to be introspected :-)21:02
balloonsty!21:02
robotfuelballoons: the non-hack way to fix this would be to write a autopilot gtk module that lets autopilot find the new child process that is launched.21:03
robotfuelballoons: I don't have experience with writing gtk modules though.21:03
robotfuelballoons: it would be kind of like the at-spi bridge for the accessibility layer21:04
balloonsrobotfuel,indeed letting autopilot find child processes would solve several issues for us21:05
thomiballoons: ap already does search child processes21:05
thomithe problem here s that the child process does not load the introspection interface21:05
balloonsthomi, I knew you were going to say that.. lol, we talked about it with ubiquity :-)21:06
thomiballoons: there's even tests in autopilot to cnfirm that :)21:06
balloonsohh! nice! does this happen on the QT side also, or just with gtk?21:06
