| brendand | ubuntu-qa - review my fix for camera-app tests: https://code.launchpad.net/~brendan-donegan/camera-app/location_prompt_disable/+merge/230961 | 14:28 |
|---|---|---|
| robotfuel | brendand: I'll review | 14:29 |
| === cyphermox__ is now known as cyphermox | ||
| robotfuel | brendand: It seems like _set_location_service_testing should be placed in a helper so ux tests can use it. | 14:34 |
| brendand | robotfuel, you mean a helper in camera-app? | 14:35 |
| robotfuel | brendand: yes, I assume there is one. | 14:36 |
| robotfuel | brendand: if there isn't we should make one to put stuff like that in it. | 14:36 |
| brendand | robotfuel, i kind of feel like we're starting to need a package that contains helpers which don't belong to a specific app, or are generally useful | 14:43 |
| brendand | robotfuel, trying to shoehorn them into the 'appropriate package' is painful and not even that obvious | 14:43 |
| brendand | robotfuel, maybe i'll bring it up with thomi :) | 14:44 |
| robotfuel | brendand: I think those should go in the ubuntu-uitoolkit-autopilot package. We should talk to elopio and thomi about it on monday. | 14:44 |
| robotfuel | brendand: the helper should also have tests. so we know it's the helper breaking and not something in the test. | 14:47 |
| robotfuel | brendand: do you want me to make my comments in the MP? | 14:47 |
| brendand | robotfuel, the ci folks are really desperate for this fix - the helper itself is already tested as such - if it breaks then all the tests will fail | 14:49 |
| robotfuel | brendand: I don't think the test for a helper will take a long time to write, I can propose a mp with some simple test for that if you want. | 14:51 |
| brendand | robotfuel, if you think you can whip one up quickly then ok, but as i said - if the purpose of the test it to make sure it can't land when the helper is broken, well - that's already the case | 14:52 |
| brendand | robotfuel, i don't see what a test would do beyond starting the app | 14:52 |
| robotfuel | brendand: the helper is broken? can we do a quick hangout? | 14:53 |
| brendand | robotfuel, no :) i mean it's already the case that if the helper breaks the tests will fail | 14:56 |
| brendand | robotfuel, it works right now of course | 14:57 |
| robotfuel | brendand: okay that makes sense thanks :D. I think we decided to make sure that all the helpers have tests awhile back. | 14:59 |
| robotfuel | brendand: if location service doesn't work on an image that helper test has a chance of blocking the image for promotion. the platform-api's unit tests are in a sad state. | 15:02 |
| brendand | robotfuel, i'm not really objecting to having a test for it - just that i don't see it being that useful really | 15:09 |
| brendand | robotfuel, we can have a quick hangout if you want me to explain | 15:09 |
| robotfuel | brendand: sure do you want to meet in the ux hangout | 15:16 |
| brendand | robotfuel, yeah | 15:21 |
| brendand | robotfuel, can't hear you now | 15:25 |
| brendand | robotfuel, dropped again | 15:31 |
| brendand | robotfuel, i'll talk to tvoss about how to query the location service | 15:33 |
| deepubuntu | Is this the place for newbies?? | 15:33 |
| brendand | robotfuel, but as i said, we can't really block on that - we'd only be harming our selves by hiding failures in the camera-app | 15:34 |
| brendand | deepubuntu, it's the place for everyone | 15:37 |
| deepubuntu1 | okay | 15:42 |
| deepubuntu1 | so I want to know about how can I contribute for ubuntu | 15:43 |

| deepubuntu1 | thanks a lot brendand and balloons :D:D:D | 16:07 |
| elfy | deepubuntu1: if you want to help with support - there are 4 main avenues open - forum/mailing list/irc and askubuntu | 16:09 |
| deepubuntu1 | oh please please tell me more about it elfy | 16:10 |
| balloons_ | Sorry I keep dcing. | 16:11 |
| elfy | well the forum is http://ubuntuforums.org/ , mailing lists can be found https://lists.ubuntu.com/#Community+Support irc support is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList and askbuntu.com | 16:11 |
| elfy | the first 3 are all official support avenues, askubuntu less so | 16:11 |
| elfy | balloons_: hi :) | 16:12 |
| deepubuntu1 | well that was the link http://ubuntuforums.org/ I was searching for thanks elfy :) | 16:14 |
| elfy | welcome | 16:14 |
| deepubuntu1 | :d | 16:14 |
| deepubuntu1 | :D | 16:14 |
| balloons_ | Thanks for filling in. I'll like drop again in a second :( anyways feel free to pm balloons and leave a way to contact you back like email if you still have questions. But I'm guessing elfy Will take care of you | 16:14 |
| elfy | deepubuntu1: if you've not got an account there PLEASE read the notices you'll see there and if you do get an issue come see me in #ubuntuforums | 16:15 |
| elfy | deepubuntu1: but a lot of people - like me - do some of each, so I do QA and support and a few other things | 16:15 |
| elfy | do what takes your fancy - enjoy doing it or do something else - we don't get paid :) | 16:16 |
| deepubuntu1 | well I really don't won't anything that's why I am here | 16:16 |
| deepubuntu1 | hoping to learn somthing | 16:16 |
| deepubuntu1 | and this is all what I get | 16:16 |
| elfy | I'd start with testing, that's as easy as getting iso's and following written instructions | 16:17 |
| deepubuntu1 | and yes sure I will ping balloons and balloons_ and elfy and brendand if I need help. Can I :D | 16:17 |
| elfy | join the forum and askubuntu - read things people are wanting help with - that's how I learnt :) | 16:17 |
| elfy | both testing and low level support are really important | 16:18 |
| deepubuntu1 | yes because I don't have to do much there just install developing version and use as normal way and if i face trouble report it. this is my job? | 16:18 |
| elfy | that sounds about right :) | 16:19 |
| deepubuntu1 | yes actually I think my contribution in mozilla testing will help me here too | 16:20 |
| deepubuntu1 | and this is what I earn from contributing and for sure I will get something here too | 16:20 |
| elfy | I run the dev version from about week #1 till release | 16:20 |
| deepubuntu1 | dev version okay | 16:20 |
| deepubuntu1 | thanks a lot everyone foe helping me :) | 16:22 |
| elfy | deepubuntu1: the dev version being what we test in the main, currently that's October 2014's release | 16:22 |
| elfy | and you are most welcome :) | 16:22 |
| deepubuntu1 | :D | 16:22 |

| average_guy | no paravirt w/KVM. KVM=Full Virtualization I believe, need to read a bit. I use virt-mgr sometimes but mostly vbox to OS test and QEMU to virtualize ppc arch http://leuchtfeuerfunk.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/permission-to-break-the-system-granted/ | 19:01 |
