pittiGood morning04:30
jibelgood morning07:24
ckinggema, yesterday I asked about the power testing that's not been working for > 3 weeks and you said you would give me an ETA on that. Do you have an ETA on your ETA?09:15
gemacking: yes, next week I will discuss it with plars and get them running again09:15
gemahe is on holidays this week09:16
gemawe are going to use the extra fluke for that09:16
gemacking: there has been a miscomunication somewhere and we dropped the ball09:16
gemacking: sorry about that09:16
ckingso I guess end of next week at the earliest then09:16
gemacking: yes09:16
ckingok, thanks for the info, it informs me how I can sanity check the latest kernel PM issues09:18
gemacking: I will try to get traction on that this week if there is a regression09:20
ckingi guess I need to get some kit rigged up and look at the latest kernel to see whats going on, I'm running tight on time on this issue09:21
gemacking: ok, i will check with larry later today if we can speed up the hooking of that fluke for you to be able to run the tests if that'd help09:30
ckingit would be useful to see what's being happening in the past few weeks as I'm sure there may be a power regression but I've got no supporting data to inform me how to make a rational decision at the moment09:32
ckinggema, you realise that there is a risk of get different results with a different fluke meter if they've not been recently calibrated. so putting another fluke meter on this test may give misleading data09:40
ckinggema, last week I sent an email with some prototyped mobile probes that work in UTAH, I was wondering if these will get integrated into the tests, I guess I was wondering how we proceed on this as I've not heard any feedback for week09:46
ckinghrm10:25
gemacking: andy is working on that10:58
gemacking: but it is not his higher priority this week10:58
ckingack10:59
gemacking: we've been talking to the guys in NZ as well to coordinate the autopilot and utah efforts10:59
gemacking: but it is not their higher priority either because the testing is in so bad shape10:59
gema(functional)10:59
gemathat we need to help fix it10:59
ckingyep, I realize it needs some more love11:00
gemacking: a lot of it11:00
gemacking: so we haven't forgotten you, we've just been sent on a mission to put the world in autopilot11:00
gemaand we are still working on the probing in the background11:00
gemacking: we can put the old fluke for the old testing and use the new one for the new testing11:01
gemacking: I have no idea how rfowler and sconklin are calibrating the flukes11:01
gemacking: it may be worth for you to talk to rfowler11:01
gemaand steve11:01
gemaand figure it out11:01
ckingack11:01
gemacking: I will keep you posted anyway, I am trying to flesh out all we are doing in nicely followable BPs11:02
gemaincluding the PS QA part of the team11:02
ckingthe old fluke on the "old" tests is advisable, since we don't want to introduce another H/W change that will affect the results over time11:02
gemacking: absolutely11:03
gemacking: please follow up with rfowler and make sure he understands that11:03
gemacking: assuming they haven't recalibrated it in the process of hooking it to puts11:03
ckinggema, I can communitate that to him, but I can't vouch that it will be understood, that's out of my control11:03
gemacking: ok, I can be with you in that meeting11:04
gemaand make sure we are all in sync11:04
gemalet me schedule something11:04
ckingno, let me send an email, meetings kill my life - they take too many man resources11:05
gemacking: ack11:05
gemacking: but I don't see people's faces when they read it, so it makes more difficult to get all the questions asked and answered11:05
gemathat's the only reason I wanted to have us all talking for 30 mins and make sure everybody is in sync11:05
gemacking: send it and I will meet with him11:06

balloonsDanChapman, :-( sorry to hear that!15:37
elopioballoons: now I have the approval for the first emulator branch, but it failed to lande due to an unrelated unstable test.15:51
elopiothis is not an easy road :)15:51
elopioI've fixed the unstable test, now asking again for reviews.15:51
balloonselopio, thank you for traversing the road15:53
balloonsvirtual beers for you sir115:53
balloonsDanChapman, did you land the changes to the ff test?15:54
* balloons notes this is why we like introspection :-)15:54
elopiovirtual beers, that's what makes it worth it ;)15:55
DanChapmanballoons, yeah but its now the tabs_and_windows test failing which has been passing up til now. Will see what todays run brings. Might be a one off15:55
balloonselopio, when we meet again you can convert those into the real thing :-)15:55
elopionow we are talking!15:56
elopio(I'm joking, of course. I do it for the lolz)15:56
* elopio goes back to work.15:57
balloonselopio, do you surf?15:57
elopioballoons: I've just done it once, a couple of weeks ago. I suck.15:58
balloonselopio, :-) I saw the picture and wondered if it was you or not15:58
* balloons lets elopio go back to work mode15:58
elopioballoons: yes, that was me. My brother gave me surf lessons as a present. It was fun, but I see no future there :)16:00
balloonselfy, lol.. well I don't surf, but if I did I would kitesurf.. Instead I kitebuggy on the beaches here.. Can you drive on the beaches where your at? Are they hard packed sand?16:01
elopioI've never seen somebody doing it here. It's soft sand, mostly.16:03
elopioI suppose it would work in some beaches. It looks fun.16:04
elfyballoons: I don't either, and where I live the beaches are stones ...16:07
balloonselfy, sorry for the ping.. tab complete and all.. elopio, elfy ...16:07

balloonsI'm scheduling now and thought it would be useful to see if you were around to make sure I picked a good time for you :-)17:39
xnoxballoons: well, I am London time. So it's paste my end of day now, and I should be in the swimming pool =) but instead I am finishing up on android build.17:39
jibelballoons, not tomorrow between 1430 and 1600 utc anything else will be fine17:40
balloonscan we do thursday at 1500 UTC xnox and jibel?17:41
balloonsxnox, I shan't be the reason your not in the pool!17:41
xnoxballoons: pitti at one stage looked at getting ubiquity autopilot running in the lab, as far as I remember. pitti, did you succeed in tricking partman into believing which devices are available?17:41
xnoxmight be late for pitti, as well now.17:41
balloonsxnox, yes, jibel has an idea for how we can run it.. I just thought we could all sit and chat and figure it out :-)17:41
xnoxballoons: anything finishing before 17:30 UTC should be fine.17:41
balloonskk, invites on the way17:42

balloonsenjoy your evenings!17:42
jibelballoons, I even have something nearly working, it is just a bit slow because it is running in qemu and rendering performance is, hm, low17:43
jibelballoons, I tried on hardware by faking disk devices with a device mapper or scsi_debug, but well partman didn't like this option,17:43
balloonsjibel, supposedly accelerated qemu is coming this year17:44
jibelballoons, so, ok to talk on thursday17:44
balloonsjibel, yes indeed.. :-)17:44

balloonsdkessel, :-p18:03
balloonsdkessel, the music app.. It's recently been through the hack day and is getting more and more into shape18:03

balloonsI might want to see a 1 sentence description with the links, but I like the direction18:56
balloonsI'm worried about the top piece however, it's getting to be more than a page before the actual content, heh18:56
phillwI'll be hunting down the various wiki pages, mentioning the tutorial sessions etc.18:56
balloonsright.. so, keep at it18:57
balloonsty!18:57
phillwI'll re-do the classroom bit, I think it should be moved to the quality classroom wiki page.18:58
balloonsright, and linking should be easier after the changes18:59
phillwyes, it took a while to create all the sub pages :D18:59
dkesselmhall119, can you point me to where the "real code" (logic, etc) of the music app is? i'm stumbling from file to file but can't find where it actually populates it's database...19:13
mhall119dkessel: meta-database.js does the music file scanning19:14
dkesselmhall119, =) ok then i must have skipped over that. thanks19:15
mhall119dkessel: though the real heavy-lifting is done in the nemo folderlistmodel plugin19:15
dkesselhm. to be more specific: i've written a setup step for my autopilot test. it creates a temp dir, then sets $HOME to point to the temp dir... copies music into $HOME/Music... and i expected the app to find the music file. but it doesn't seem to. the album list is coming up empty.19:17
dkesselmhall119, ^ and now i wonder if the music app code is even the right place to look...19:19
mhall119dkessel: might be better to email the app's developers, I'm only vaguely familiar with it19:21
mhall119dkessel: ping danielholm in #ubuntu-app-devel19:22
dkesselmhall119, ok19:23
balloonsmhall119, dkessel thanks19:50

dkesselballoons, :P I am now mailing danielholm, and will wait for a response the other day then....19:50
balloonsLetozaf_, hello19:50
Letozaf_balloons, just to let you know I proposed a merge for sudoku app the hint button test, fixed it and completed it19:51
balloonsdkessel, ty.. if you just want to push the basic layout that would be helpful by itself19:51
balloonsLetozaf_, ohh excellent!19:51
Letozaf_balloons, :-)19:52
dkesselballoons, all I have now are two tiny helper methods to help setup a test. If you think that makes sense to merge already... sure..19:52
balloonsdkessel, ahh, I see the layout is there19:53
balloonsI was thinking that it wasn't.. meaning no autopilot folder, etc19:53

balloonsohh no doubt21:22
balloonsmy edit will be up in a moment21:22
phillwballoons: if you could have a go at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/Activities#What_can_I_do.3F to bring it into the format I've used for the rest of the page, that'd be a great help!21:23
balloonsphillw, ok basic re-arranging is done21:24
phillwIt needs really, to mention that we do both cadence testing and milestone testing depending on the flavours21:24
phillwballoons: thnx, the 'who we are' was added as Noskaj had mentioned it, and I do think that listing us and our machines is useful :)21:25
balloonsthe content itself needs tweaked, but the layout is better I think21:26
phillwyes, I think it's better to make up a page covering alphas, betas and RCs. I have the basic format at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing#Testing so it is not a horrendous task for me to do :)21:29

phillwNoskcaj: yeah, having a final date is good, but leeting people know it is upcoming is also good :)21:58
NoskcajSomewhere on the activities page you should reference that testdrive exists, it will help newcomers get set up.21:59
phillwballoons: I've moved 'flask192x192.png' to the correct area, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IconsPage It can now be used anywhere on the QA area by simply to it. No need to upload it to each page you wish to use it on.21:59
phillwNoskcaj: testdrive, Vbox and KVM are mentioned in the classroom sessions as part of 'the tools we use'. I'm open to ideas of having more things mentioned, but I've spent quite a lot of time getting  the current activities page into something that nearly follows best guide for wiki formatting!22:01

SergioMenesesphillw, awesome!22:07
phillwNoskcaj: the "Who are we" section is not only mentioned, but was promoted by the boss :D22:07
NoskcajEverything looks ready for it to go live22:07
phillwSergioMeneses: It's nearly ready... needs people to check out that all the links work and that nothing from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities has been  lost (I nearly missed the contributing to test cases section... )_22:08
phillwNoskcaj: I've just to redo the section covering cadence testing and add in milestone testing.22:10
SergioMenesesI see  but when you was working on it didn't you check it?22:10
phillwSergioMeneses: when doing this type of 'destroy and re-create', it is possible to lose information (Or, in my case, an entire section). I had 3 editing tabs open most of the time, some times more. It is quite 'fun' to so such a re-write, but it deperately needed doing and I had a a couple of days between milestones where I could attack it full on.22:12
