Noskcajis nano a default app for 13.10?02:20
NoskcajIS anyone online with a working 13.10 install?02:28
Noskcajif so, is nano still a default app?02:28
balloonsNoskcaj, nano a default app? well nano is command line :-)03:37
Noskcajballoons: one of the hardware test cases uses nano, i was wondering if we still ship it03:44
balloonsyes..03:44
Noskcajok03:45
Noskcajdumb question03:45
NoskcajCan someone check the multiple hard drive part of the Entire disk install testcase. it is outdated and confusing04:15
Noskcajballoons, if you're online. i have another big merge comming up05:39

apwgema, i was asking for the sheet you do have09:58
gemaapw: I don't have a sheet11:52
gemaapw: I am trusting the driver implementation11:53
apwgema, i was asking for the sheet for the one you said you had a sheet for, i have since found it11:53
gemaahh, sorry11:53
gemaI thought you meant the nexus 411:53
DanChapmanGood afternoon :-)12:49
=== _salem is now known as salem_
phillwballoons: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware is alive. Just need someone else to also check it, as Linda's link is wrong.....13:57
apwgema, this n4 driver, its remaining charge is calculated purely using the integer percentage, which seems utterly inaccurate14:50
gemaapw: otp14:53
balloonsphillw, :-)14:54
gemaapw: sorry, lost context completely15:06
gemaI am back15:06
gemaapw: I am not sure what you mean, it seems to me that full charge would be the result of doing something like calculate_fcc_uah - calculate_unusable_charge15:07
apwgema, i was saying in this n4 driver, the raw coulombs output are already exposed, and that the remaining_charge as calculated is simply made up from teh full capacity and the integer15:07
gemaand remaining charge should be charge now15:07
apwremaining charge is (full_charge * current_percentage)15:07
apwso it is woefully inaccurate15:08
apwi may be able to use the raw coulombs to make that more accurate but, thats not how it is now15:08
gemaapw: the state of charge is calculated based on charge now (which we don't have) not the other way around15:10
gemaapw: I think we are wasting more time discussing than it would take to just expose that15:11
gemaapw: then we can do the calculations if you want and see what's more accurate15:11
apwgema, the driver exposes percentages and raw coulombs, it uses raw coulombs and a significant amount of guess work to generate the percentage15:12
apwgema, it them makes its idea of charges internally using those percentages, at 1% resolution15:12
=== mzanetti is now known as mzanetti|food
apwexposing those is not going to give you any accuracy (even asuming for now that the device has accuracy)15:13
gemaapw: I'd like to be able to validate that empirically15:13
gemarather than argue each other to death15:13
apwgema, and i am working to expose them, and when writing the code and testing it, i can see how it is calculated15:13
apwgema, and i can see that the value i am exposing changes like every time the percentage changes, which is how i _know_ it is based on the percentage15:14
apwgema, and why am i asking if it is any use what so ever given your comment on the percentage from the GN15:14
gemaapw: what percentage are you talking about?15:14
gemacapacity?15:15
apwthe driver as it stands is calculating its remaining_charge from its (estimate of full charge * 100) / current percentage15:15
apwits percentage charge remaining estimate.15:15
apwremaining_charge_uah = calculate_remaining_charge_uah() .... that is using:15:17
apw        return (fcc_uah * pc) / 100;15:17
apwie, it is taking estimated full and using the percentage previously reported, and returning some other estimate in 100's of the maximum capacity15:17
apwi am trying to get you to confirm that is of little use15:17
apwand that therefore i need to try and expose something more granular15:19
apwgema, ^^15:19
gemaapw: are you saying that there is a circular dependancy in the driver? (I haven't really seen enough of it to be able to pinpoint that) in any other case, I am pretty sure the value you are getting is a good start, I can run a test if you give me a kernel with it and figure out if it makes sense15:26
apwgema, i am saying the value you asked to be exposed is in 100th's of full capacity, i am asking if there is any value in that value, or do i need to work out how to make a better value15:28
apwgema, to my mind it is pretty clear it is useless as it doesn't change for 10s of seconds15:28
gemaapw: can you give me some example values15:29
=== mzanetti|food is now known as mzanetti
apwgema, the actual value would be like 2088105 and remains like that while the percentage is 91 (ish) and changes only when the reported percentage changes to 9015:31
apwgema, never mind, i am taking an executive decision that these values are too low resolution to be useful15:32
apwgema, and i am going to figure out how to get more accurate values out15:32

Noskcajballoons, about my merge proposal19:43
Noskcaji think you should let this one in as the hardware tests are less agonistic currently and netboot has a glitch where dd was dt and vice-versa19:45
balloonsNoskcaj, howdy20:08
Noskcajhello20:08
balloonsI like your changes, although I'm on the fence about the is vs should be stuff20:10
balloonsbut yea, there still needs to be some work done on some of them.20:10
balloonsI can't merge everything as-is.. that's why we like the smaller merge proposals that are more on point..20:10
Noskcajballoons, i did all this at school. i can't make merge proposals on the school laptop20:11
balloonsNoskcaj, ahh.. well, your editing all those files right? Just make several branches20:12
balloonsdoes that make sense?20:12
balloonsmake a branch, fix netboot20:12
balloonsmake a branch fix is vs should be20:12
Noskcajmakes sense20:13
balloonsmake a branch fix hw tests20:13
balloonsthen it's 3 mp's, but it can be reviewed easier20:13
Noskcajballoons, i've just fixed netboot. uploaded. could you explain you issues with "should be"20:20
samgabbayHi I have a laptop with a broken screen and i wanted to know how i can install ubuntu on it20:20
samgabbayoops20:21
samgabbaywrong room20:21
Noskcajsamgabbay, you might have to replace the screen. tht's pretty simple though20:21
balloonsNoskcaj, well, I'm wondering about how it reads20:22
samgabbayNoskcaj,  but the laptop is too old for that20:22
Noskcajsamgabbay, then plug an external screen in20:22
samgabbayyea but when i do i dont know what key it is to choose what to boot and like i want to make the external monitor the default20:22
Noskcajballoons, we need a wording that is constant, so do we want "should" or "is"?20:23
samgabbayis there a way to make like the external monitor input like the main one20:23
samgabbayjust on like desktop pcs20:23
Noskcajsamgabbay, should be, once you're in ubuntu20:23
Noskcajbut it can't be too old to replace the screen20:24
samgabbayit is its like 6 years old or so20:24
samgabbaylike how do i know what key to press on boot20:24
samgabbaycause on the external monitor it wont display like when you first turn it on and it  says dell for example and it shows like f1 is bios20:24
elfyNoskcaj balloons I'm not sure what you're talkign about exactly - but if it's testcases - then there shouldn't be should - it either is and a pass or it's a fail20:25
Noskcajelfy, the wording of <dd>20:26
balloonsNoskcaj, in theory you should read the test as do this, expect that. it should be written as fact.. so we don't want should, might, could, etc in there20:26
Noskcaji have to go, i'll be back later20:26
samgabbayguys anything i can do to make the external monitor primary so i can see when it first boots and know the  boot keyu20:26
balloonshowever when I explained it to you, yes, the result is what should happen, else it's a back :-)20:26
samgabbaypleaaassasseee20:26
samgabbay:?20:26
samgabbay:/20:26
elfysamgabbay: you need a support channel - try #ubuntu20:26
samgabbaybut like no one is responding :20:27
samgabbay:/20:27
balloonsit's a non-ubuntu problem to be fair.. and laptops are laptop specific.. likely no one can help you but yourself, google, and trial and error20:27
samgabbay:/20:27
balloonsi will say ubuntu has a screenreader mode that will talk to you during installation.. but again, without a screen there's no point.. and it's impossible to know what's going on20:28
balloonshello elfy !20:28
elfyhi balloons :)20:28
* elfy is back for a week again :)20:28
balloonsaweosme20:29
balloonscan you make the hackfest tomorrow?20:29
elfyso get ready for the next installment of how do I upload this again ...20:29
samgabbayballoons,  like im gonna be using the computer with an external monitor, keyboard, and all i just wanna get it working until i get a new pone20:30
elfyballoons: eventually - got some r/l to attend to and a xubuntu meeting20:30
elfyballoons: but if it's autopilot then I'll wander off :)20:30
Noskcajballoons, so we want it worded as "this happens" ?20:34
balloonselfy, it's for everyone.. we've just specifically invitied new folks who might want t hack on autopilot for qml20:34
balloonsdon't be scared ;-)20:34
elfylol20:34
elfyso that's 2 things that I'll go pfft at then20:35
Noskcajballoons, let me know if there's a hackfest i can attend20:35
elfyI thought qml was a downmarket sports shop chain ...20:35
elfyballoons: and of course the other thing being that 99% of anyone will be fiddlign with ubuntu things too ;)20:37
balloonsNoskcaj, there is tomorrow20:37
balloonsit runs through this time, so if your around as normal, you can be a part :-)20:37
Noskcajballoons, i mean a time when i'm not sleeping20:37
Noskcajok, i'll try and attend20:37
balloonsNoskcaj, tomorrow at this time we'll be finishing up, so you can attend :-) However, we can try something later on a weekend and see if more folks from down-under and asia can make it20:38
elfyI shall be attending my own hackfest and working away on xubuntu testcases20:38
balloonselfy, lol.. just know I'll be dedicating my time to helping whomever get testcases in20:38
Noskcajelfy, let's have an official xubuntu test hackfest20:38
balloonsall day long you'll get me20:38
elfyballoons: I know :)20:39
elfyNoskcaj: afaik there are 2 people working on xubuntu testcases20:39
elfythough I think sergio is working on gnumeric20:39
Noskcajthen mabe a hackfest is wasteful20:40
Noskcaj*maybe20:40
elfyballoons: do I remember us having a conversation about the dates on the release schedule staying as they are even though they are patently wrong?20:41
balloonselfy indeed..20:42
balloonsheh20:42
balloonsping in #ubuntu-release about it20:42
elfybut cadence week dates are right?20:42
elfyballoons: ^^20:44
balloonselfy, what do you mean?20:44
elfythe dates on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy are right ?20:44
elfyI need to talk with xubuntu about what we're going to do and when20:45
Noskcajballoons, you have more stuff to merge20:45
balloonselfy, yes I don't plan to change them unless we discuss first and have a reason20:46
* elfy thinks it's absolutely ridiculous that release schedule is wrong because someone in the past set them up and no-on can be assed to deal with it now things have changed 20:46
elfyballoons: k - just need something concrete to work with20:47
balloonselfy, there was a note and action item to change the release schedule rpoperly20:47
elfylol20:47
balloonsbut again, I haven't seen any changes20:48
elfywell - if it doesn't get soon it can be marked as invalid :p20:48
balloonsI have to work on getting our first week ready :-)20:48
balloonsthat's my concenr20:49
elfyyep20:49
elfyI understand that - that'll be your job :)20:49
elfyI don't suppose it matters much as long as we get 'week' with the same image to test20:50
elfyanyway - I should be about at some point tomorrow - now I am off20:51

balloonsNoskcaj, ok, let me go look at th enew mp20:53
=== balloons changed the topic of #ubuntu-quality to: Welcome to Ubuntu Quality | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam | Hackfest June 13th: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hackfest/20130613
balloonsNoskcaj, so what's this? https://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu-manual-tests/xfce4panel/+merge/16885821:15
Noskcajballoons, i re-based that, it's enough for the guy to merge into ubuntu-manual-tests21:16
balloonsNoskcaj, ok21:16
balloonsi'm re-merging your branch :-)21:16
Noskcajballoons, there's more changes, tell me when you want them21:19
balloonsok on testcases/hardware/1480_USB Mouse I think the bit about creating a file is a bit silly. we can just ask them to test left, right and dragging21:19
balloonsNoskcaj, you can push whatever you have :-)21:20
* balloons just realized he has media keys on the top of his keyboard21:21
balloonshuh..21:21
Noskcajlol21:21
balloonsNoskcaj, I'm curious about this one: <dt>Press the Search key</dt>21:21
balloons 21:21
balloons9121:21
balloons    <dt>The tracker desktop search tool should open</dt>21:21
Noskcajballoons, i don't know what that is, it was already there21:21
balloonsright.. I wonder what "search" tool they could mean21:22
balloonsthere is no more tracker21:22
balloonsgo ahead and remove it if you would :-)21:22
Noskcajok21:22
balloonsall the new changes look better21:22
balloonsI saw up to rev 12321:22
Noskcaj124 is uploading now21:23
Noskcaji made the search test agnostic21:24
Noskcajballoons, you have merges waiting21:38
* balloons looks21:39
balloonsNoskcaj, (might be call "monitor" or "display") to might be "called"21:41
Noskcaji approved slickymaster's one, but it needs merging21:41
balloonsall those changes look good21:41
balloonsI'll merge his21:41
balloonsso I think the only thing left is the is -> should be stuff right?21:41
Noskcajballoons, that and the wireless networking test21:42
balloonsexcellent21:42
balloonsNoskcaj, this https://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu-manual-tests/xfce4panel/+merge/168858 has to be done by david21:43
balloonsohh nvm, I see it ;-)21:43
Noskcaj:)21:43
Noskcajballoons, the last upload is going now. i think that's all the hardware tests21:49
balloonsi'm looking over21:54
balloonsok, everything looks good21:55
balloonslet me do a full review again Noskcaj21:55
Noskcajok, ty21:55
balloonsNoskcaj, :-( This is still using unity stuff for no reason..21:58
balloons/home/nskaggs/projects/ubuntu-manual-tests/testcases/hardware/1477_Builtin Keyboard21:58
balloonscan you make it generic?21:58
Noskcajone sec21:58
balloonssure.. I'll just keep rambling my thoughts here21:58
Noskcajballoons, uploaded22:02
balloonsNoskcaj, another small tweak..     <dt>Insert a media card into the reader.</dt> <dd>A suggestion window should open for the card</dd>22:05
balloonsI'm not sure we can assume or need to assume a suggestion window will appear on every flabor22:05
Noskcajok22:05
balloonsthis is from 1484_Internal Data Card Reader22:06
balloonsyou can simplify the whole thing and just say open the card up with a file manager22:06
balloonswe want to test the read and writing to the card, etc22:06
balloonsin the suspend and resume, you don't need to mention using firefox specifically22:07
balloons1486_Suspend & Resume22:07
Noskcajok22:07
balloons    <dt>Open a few applications in on the desktop, including Firefox</dt>22:07
Noskcajpushing now22:07
balloonsok, the final tweaks I see22:09
Noskcajballoons, can you explain test 1399_unity startup? it seems to have a translation part22:09
balloons1300,1301,1302,1465,1504,ubuntu touch/1518 and ubuntu touch/1519 all should drop the 'should be' language and keep the 'is' language. The other tweaks in those files are good22:10
balloonsNoskcaj, let me look at it22:10
balloonsohh right22:11
balloonsthat was imported from the old unity manual tests22:11
Noskcajok22:11
balloonsessentially it's just a gut check that unity starts up and the desktop loads22:11
balloonsincluding translations..22:11
NoskcajI just updated it so it made sense, but i doubt it will every be looked at22:12
