jjfrv8elfy, are you around?12:21
elfysort of 12:24
elfyjjfrv8: what's up?12:25
jjfrv8Quick question on the testcases. Do you want us to finish up the remaining bugs that are out there? I.E., will you be adding more testcases to the test tracker?12:25
elfyas far as I'm aware we've got everything - so I'll not be adding anything now 12:26
jjfrv8Okay, I had assigned Alacarte to myself.  Can I drop it? :)12:26
elfyjjfrv8: only 2 left 12:27
elfyyou can if you need to - someone else will pick it up I expect :)12:27
jjfrv8Alrighty, that way I can focus on running instead of writing :)12:28
elfycool :)12:28
GridCubeUnit193, i tried the amd64 iso but grml would not find it after choosing it from the grub menu, retried using the i386 and it worked again17:55
Unit193Hrm, if you want me to I can test that method with one computer here later on.  ISO works though.17:56
GridCubewell i dont have a pendrive though :(17:56
GridCubeso i can't go that road17:56
Unit193I'd assume you did update-grub after sticking the ISO in the dir?17:58
Unit193Checking some of the referring links, several have bad information, and "The team is committed to updating..." Wut?  The bad information is recommending vbox testing.  Are news sites always this wrong? :P18:45
skellatUnit193: Who needs smacking around?19:00
Unit193Everyone? :D19:00
skellatUnit193: Which news sites, I mean19:01
skellatThe script for Burning Circle 125 to be recorded tonight can't get any more emphatic that under no circumstances should any virtualization environment be used for testing the ISO.  I can't do much more to triple-underline it there.19:02
Unit193Some random unheard of ones, can pull a list if need be.19:02
skellatBC syndicates to Planet and, if I try very hard to stick exactly to the script, and I can ensure a transcript appears too19:04
Unit193Google translate not being the best, can't tell for sure if what http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lffl.org%2F2013%2F08%2Fxubuntu-disponibile-la-iso-con-il-nuovo.html seems to say is what it really does, but we're now going to have two xubuntu versions? ;)19:06
* skellat is summoned by his recording engineer19:06
* Unit193 wonders if he should tell pleia2 that you can't use the terminal that pops up on the live CD, guesses that'd be a bad idea, so doesn't.19:17
* drc was wondering if anyone got that terminal to work.19:19
Unit193It's there only to show you the log. :P19:19
Unit193It made sense at the timeā„¢19:20
pleia2Unit193: you just exit the log19:20
drcThen maybe http://vanir.unit193.tk/mir/ should be revised to indicate that?19:21
pleia2Unit193: no need to be passive aggressive about pointing out error, we're all on the same side here to make the instructions clear19:21
drcI know I didn't have any clue :(19:21
Unit193pleia2: Was I?19:21
pleia2Unit193: yes19:22
Unit193Hrm, not what I was going for...19:22
pleia2I don't know why you think it would be a bad idea to tell me I'm mistaken about something19:23
pleia2you can just tell me, no need to action it19:23
Unit193Lets try it again.  If you hit q, the log will close as will the terminal, thus you won't be able to check in that terminal.  Ah, that was kidding about me having to find words to edit the page with, heh.19:23
pleia2I could have sworn I just exited the log and typed the command there, but I am fallible19:23
pleia2see, I was mistaken, it's ok :)19:24
pleia2want to update the page and then reply on list?19:24
Unit193You could have, but I don't see how as the command is  xfce4-terminal -x less logfile  (which I just tested and seems to close.)19:24
Unit193Dowh...19:24
pleia2yes, I was mistaken19:24
Unit193(In theory, it's a different version in saucy, so technically it could be that you are not mistaken!)19:25
pleia2skellat: you sent a mail to the list with an unsubbed list, shall I let it through or do you want to resend with a subbed address?19:25
pleia2s/unsubbed list/unsubbed address19:25
pleia2(I don't mind letting it through, just don't know if you intend to use that address in public)19:26
skellatpleia2: You can let it through.  The address is shown on my LP profile which is why it went through on the LoCo list just fine even though I didn't look.19:26
pleia2okie19:26
Unit193I take it s/type/run/ won't suffice?19:26
pleia2Unit193: I'd do this...19:27
pleia2After booting the system, a terminal window with the unity-system-compositor log will display.19:27
pleia2^^ one line19:27
pleia2then ...19:27
pleia2To confirm that you are running XMir, open a new terminal and type: ps ax | grep system-comp19:27
Unit193Done.19:29
drcand maybe give them some sort of clue what they should see if they are running xmir?19:29
pleia2er, another whitespace?19:29
pleia2drc: the 'ps ax | grep system-comp' is really the only indicator19:29
Unit193Didn't think it needed it, but I will comply.19:29
pleia2Unit193: we want to make clear that people don't think those two things are related19:30
pleia2thanks :)19:30
drcpleia2: no, I mean the output of the command.19:30
pleia2drc: ah19:30
Unit193drc: Broken screen, you're running mir. ;)19:30
pleia2I guess we assume people know how grep works, huh :)19:30
drcAgain, I had to ask, 'cause I din't have a clue19:30
Unit193Yes, I like to presume people know what grep is.19:31
Unit193pgrep system-comp && echo "Yep, I'm running XMir."    :-----D19:32
drcI know how grep works, I wanted to know what <specifically> I should be looking for19:32
pleia2Unit193: could do19:33
Unit193How it is now follows the official guidelines for how to test if it's running.19:34
Unit193pleia2: Want me to change thatpart to something as well?  (Asking, because you're better with public announcements/text/wording.)19:35
Unit193So far, only pad entries are from people I've seen on IRC, not as many as I'd hope based on how many are downloading. :/19:36
pleia2Unit193: 1. sorry, which wording where? for the 'ps' command we could just say something like "a line containing "system-compostor-unity" (or whatever it's called) should show up"19:38
pleia22. I have to collect reports people gave directly on G+/fb :\19:38
GridCubehttp://i.imgur.com/1z3IKvd.png19:38
GridCube:319:38
Unit1931. Alrighty.  2. Awwh, dangit.  No fun for you. :/19:38
pleia2mostly it's more of the same though, slowness, backspace weirdness when typing, showing text typed in screen during shutdown19:38
Unit193GridCube: That's the stuff!19:39
pleia2if someone wants to browse Mir bug reports and see if any of that has been reported before, we can me too it :)19:39
GridCube:P i though i should screenshot it for the ml19:39
pleia2I have it on my list to do later, but my list is massive19:39
pleia2if bug reports don't exist, we can write some19:39
pleia2then send bug reports + email in reply to Mir the Mir thread on list that included Mir pepole19:40
Unit193pleia2: I looked at a few, there were some about being slow but I think I thought they were unrelated (twice as much thinking, more likely to be wrong.)19:40
GridCubeUnit193, theres some reports in the g+ page19:40
* pleia2 goes to make video of XMir problems19:40
GridCubesome here http://ubuntu-discourse.org/t/help-test-mir-for-xubuntu/89719:41
Unit193'To confirm that you are running XMir, open a new terminal and type <code>ps ax | grep system-comp</code>.  You should see several lines of output with "unity-system-compositor" in them.'19:42
GridCubei like that xmir its not failing as much as i was expecting it to19:42
GridCubeUnit193, link the screenshot i pasted19:42
elfypleia2: you know how to add someone to etherpad?19:42
Unit193GridCube: I looked at the FB and G+ pages a couple times, Facebook seemed to be more "Nooo! Don't do it!" and discourse had nothing. :P19:42

elfyI'd like to be able to get them a bug report for my fail - but I can't think of anyway to get that for them20:09
elfythere's probably a terminal somewhere ... http://imagebin.org/26644520:09
pleia2elfy: heh, we have a few people with that issue20:10
elfyoh - is there a bug for it?20:11
elfypleia2: worked on this machine at least20:11
pleia2elfy: doesn't look like we've filed it yet, collecting screenshots of errors20:12
elfyok - I'd report it but I can just imagine the pointlessness of just posting a screenshot :)20:13

Unit193Hah. :D20:14
elfywoohoo - we have a test result on the package tracker :D20:15
* pleia2 goes to do some other things while testing video uploads20:16
Unit193One last thing I was thinking about, changing "Testing XMir on Xubuntu" to "Testing XMir 0.0.8 on Xubuntu", or is it something only I would think to add? :P20:22

elfypleia2: same as I had - didn't notice password when I logged out though20:36
GridCubepleia2, i think it would be great to have a meeting20:36
pleia2what package do we ubuntu-bug against?20:37
* elfy agrees, not sure if I'll make it on Wed though - depending on time20:37
elfypleia2: not at all sure 20:37
pleia2I am not sure we actually can20:37
elfymeet or bug?20:37
pleia2bug20:38
pleia2but I want it to do all the upload logs magic20:38
* elfy gets tinfoil out for his hat 20:38
Unit193I think it's technically unity-system-compositor, but since "mir" is in the repos, I'd file on that. :P20:39
pleia2mir package isn't installed20:39
Unit193That's the source package name, binary is... libmirclient-sopmething and libmirserver-something, as well as a couple other libs.20:40
pleia2no, not in the repos for this either20:40
pleia2so should file against one of those libs?20:40
pleia2there's also the xserver-xmir package20:40
pleia2or somesuch20:40
elfyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/mir20:41
Unit193Yeah, think same source package... I *think* system-compositor is the one, right?20:41
pleia2elfy: I don't want to file it manually, want it to do all the upload magic of all my system info20:41
pleia2Unit193: ok, I'll just do it under system compositor, then can fix it ;)20:42
elfyI'll boot it up if you want and see what ubuntu-bug finds if you want20:42
Unit193Apport may not let you, but worth a shot.20:42
elfytired ... to many wants in that last sentence ... 20:42
pleia2seems this won't work since none of these packages are officially in the repo20:44
pleia2guess I'll just file manually20:44
skellatpleia2: Jono wants to do a meeting?20:44
pleia2skellat: yes20:44
skellatE-mail would be better at this point.  We've got 18 days until our go/no-go decision point on XMir as of right now.  The best thing we could get from the Mir team would be a diff from Unit193's ISO of what a proper configuration for boot up would look like in their view.20:46
elfytyping's fun20:46
elfyand it's slow rechoing20:46

elfybut as I said yesterday - if I only have a 50% success rate at even booting the iso - I'm never going to +1 using it 21:01
