jdstrandfyi, the squid3 in utopic-proposed is for a security update. wouldn't mind if it went through, but it's ok to wait if it would cause more work for people03:38
infinityjdstrand: There is no squid3 in proposed...03:42
infinityOh, you JUST copied it.03:42
jdstrandyeah, I pre-advised03:43

dbarthhi, so following the discussion with stgraber later yesterday, how can i get oxide-qt-1.2 to pass in utopic?07:54
tseliothi, can an admin please approve ubuntu-drivers-common in utopic-proposed (it says "Not touching package due to block request by freeze") ?10:35
infinitytseliot: The block message should be pretty clear, I'd think.10:43
infinitytseliot: stgraber will remove the block when the current milestone is out.10:43
tseliotinfinity: oops I misread the release schedule10:44
Sweetsharkhi there. When will the utopic freeze lift? We have a libreoffice package in there that upstream just released talking about CVEs: http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2014/08/28/libreoffice-4-3-1-fresh-announced/ -- unfreezing could prevent a launchpad bug filing galore ...10:55
Sweetshark(FWIW, it seems both CVEs are Windows-only anyway)10:56
=== jpds_ is now known as jpds
Sweetsharkcorrect that: the CVEs are not windows-only, so an update would be appreciated.11:25

Riddellnew ubiquity up to revert change I made yesterday which tried to add sddm support but didn't work12:37
RiddellSweetshark: should be this evening12:38

Riddellstgraber: kubuntu-plasma5 images will appear at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/releases/utopic ?13:36
stgraberRiddell: that looks right13:38
elfystgraber: our release notes will be at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/Beta1/Xubuntu13:44
stgraberelfy: thanks.13:50
elfyis there a utopic one of these https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/14:23
elfyI can't find one14:23
ogra_stgraber, just a FYI ... you forgot to re-enable the s-i cronjob :)14:29
ogra_i switched it on again so we could get images from the nightly builds ...14:29
ogra_(i.e. dont rely on that it is off)14:29
stgraberelfy: not at this point. We usually don't set that up for the opt-in milestones and instead let the flavours organize things on their end.14:31
stgraberogra_: oops, sorry about that14:31
ogra_stgraber, yeah, no prob, i just want that you are aware it  is on again14:32
elfystgraber: okey doke, thanks14:38
dbarthstgraber: hi; can you confirm if phone updates can get a freeze exception? i'm pinging again about the oxide-qt 1.2 held in proposed15:13
stgraberdbarth: if you're calling about the beta-1 freeze, then the answer is no. We only block the source packages which DO affect the products participating in the beta. So if your package is held, it's because one of its binary packages is somehow part of the images we'll be releasing in a few hours.15:15
stgraberdbarth: according to seeded-in-ubuntu, binary packages coming from oxide-qt are included in ubuntukylin which does participate in this beta15:16
dbarthso we're stuck, ok15:18
dbarthlifted around when? monday? tuesday?15:18
stgraberin the next 2-3 hours15:18
dbarthoh, even better; then i'll come back in a bit ;)15:19
dbarthcool15:19
dbarththanks for your patience15:19
stgraberRiddell, wxl, elfy, rcj: http://pad.ubuntu.com/14-10-beta1-announcement15:24
Riddellstgraber: you don't need a quote for the betas :)15:26
rcjstgraber, Added a suggestion in the pad to call out cloud daily builds separate from those on cdimage.u.c15:32
rcjstgraber, I'm just waiting on utlemming to review the text as well.  I'm not sure if we have updates for our example clouds.15:33
stgraberrcj: ok, I'm still waiting for kubuntu and lubuntu to mark their images ready so it'll likely be another 2 to 3 hours before I send out the announcement15:34
jdstrandarges: hey, would you be able to verify 1294861?15:59

wxlstgraber: any idea why all of a sudden i can't edit any more?16:06
wxlstgraber: nevermind. ibus/chrome :(16:11
argesjdstrand: yes i'll verify it16:13
jdstrandthanks!16:13
jdstrandno, if only the sparc build would finish16:13
jdstrandnow*16:13

argesverified16:17
jdstrandarges: thanks!16:18
rcjstgraber, Cloud text is good in the announcement notes.  Images are available @ EC2 and Azure now.16:21
wxlstgraber: lubuntu is ready with i386, amd64, amd64+mac and if i can play my cards right, maybe ppc16:40
stgraberwxl: cool, can you update the tracker to reflect that?16:40
wxlstgraber: oh yeah sure duh16:41
stgraberRiddell: how about you?16:41
stgraberI'm about to head out for lunch, so my plan is to start publishing when I'm back, that is in about an hour if that works for you guys?16:41
wxlstgraber: sorry still getting used to being a release manager :)16:42
Riddellstgraber: yeah should do, just starting testing new plasma5 imagse16:42
Riddellwelcome along wxl16:42
wxlthanks Riddell :) you're kubuntu?16:42
elfyhi wxl :)16:42
wxlhi elfy :)16:43
Riddellwxl: yep, the original and best linux desktop :)16:44
RiddellI might be biased on the second point there16:45
wxlRiddell: probably a bit. how's plasma 5 coming along?16:45
Riddellwxl: ask me in half an hour when this install is done :)16:45
wxlRiddell: heheh ok16:45
wxlman, ibus is weird sometimes :/16:46
Riddellinput methods are always weird16:46
wxlwell it wasn't playing nice with chrome and then i restarted it and it works fine. i dont' know. i work here from the neck down.16:47
Riddellnobody has ever understood them who lives west of china16:47
wxlhahahah16:47
Riddellyes we had chrome not taking any input recently when ibus was installed16:47
wxlRiddell: here's my big question for kubuntu: does unicode input work like one would expect??16:48
Riddellwxl: what do you mean, lots of characters are unicode16:49
wxlRiddell: like in konsole. can't ctrl-shift-u <some control code>16:50
Riddellyou mean CKJ characters?16:50
RiddellI don't think we have a feature like ctrl-shift-u <some control code>16:50
RiddellI can change keymapping fine and then I get ¡spanish characters!16:51
wxleven my compose key doesn't work right in konsole16:51
wxlibus fixes things up16:51
wxli've just never had this issue in any other flavor i've dealt with16:51
Riddellhow do you mean compose key?16:52
Riddellé ë et al work fine in konsole if I have a spanish keyboard set, they need two keypresses16:53
wxllike i can do <compose key (which i ahve set to alt)> .. and i get …16:54
Riddellhow do you set compose key?16:54
wxli don't need to use different languages, per se, i need to use different characters that are ultimately universal (like math characters)16:54
wxlin keyboard settings i think16:55
wxlbut the unicode is the weirdest part16:55
wxlctrl-shift-u has worked in every distro i've ever dealt with except kubuntu16:55
wxlsorry everyone i don't mean to make this #kubuntu :)16:55
tgm4883If I wanted to add a media file (mp4) to the mythbuntu ISO, would we need to package that mp4 up, or is there another way for adding media files?16:56
Riddelltgm4883: best just package it up like ubuntu unity does16:56
tgm4883Riddell: good to know. Thanks16:57
Riddellsee example-content16:57
Riddellwxl: if I set compose key in settings I can now compose stuff like é with my english uk keyboard16:57
Riddellusing compose-'-e16:57
Riddellcompose-.-. gives me ˙16:58
Riddellwhich is handy to know for speaking Catalan16:58
wxlRiddell: that's what i mean! it acts differently than elsewhere16:58
wxlRiddell: and still compose key doesn't help with things like ∃16:59
wxli mean i could make it as such, but this should be native stuff that "just works"16:59
wxlRiddell: and from what i can tell scanning bug reports complaints about it gets responses like "we do input differently"17:00
Riddellhmm well I'm afraid I've no idea but I'm going to akademy next week so I could try asking the locale dude, he knows all17:01
wxlRiddell: that'd be super cool. let me know! and to be clear, MY issue is not about language or locale, but about wanting to use things like mathematical symbols or the occassional emoji ☺17:03
wxlwow i wish akademy was in the US. i'd go.17:04
wxlbtw, to be clear, my loyalties lie with lubuntu but we use kubuntu at work :)17:04
Riddellwe'll take you willing or not :)17:05
wxlwell i tried to get lubuntu going for our standard desktop but our main it guy insisted on having something a bit more user friendly. i hadn't used kde since, well, a long time. i was rather pleased with the change :)17:07
Riddellwxl: what does lubuntu recommend these days for making usb drives with the images on?17:11
wxlRiddell: well i still recommend dd :) but i've also had good luck with unetbootin. we have also had a lot of suggestions to use mkusb but i've never done it.17:15
Riddellmakes me sad that we don't have a good answer for the very important issue of installing our product :(17:38
wxlRiddell: dd never fails my friend17:39
Riddellwxl: until you mistype and it wipes your hard disk!17:40
wxlRiddell: so don't mistype. i've used it for years and never had a problem.17:41
wxlRiddell: but really unetbootin hasn't ever failed me either17:41
* wxl is STILL trying to get ppc testing done. with first time testers. 17:43
* wxl chews his fingernails.17:43
Riddellyou still have ppc?  my old mac died years ago17:43
wxli have a couple ppcs but didn't have time to do the actual testing myself Riddell17:52
Riddellwxl: I'm stating to feel the pain of not having automated install tests like ubuntu does with Utah17:53
RiddellI wish I knew how to make them17:53
wxlRiddell: yeah that would be so nice17:53
infinityRiddell: Talk nicely to jibel, I'm sure he can help point you in the right direction (and I think, but am not sure, that we might even do some automated smoketesting for flavours already).17:55
infinityRiddell: Not that one shouldn't also manually test, which always finds a different class of bugs (ie: the bugs you don't already know about and test for), but it's a good start to know if things are complete crap.17:56
elfyis that the stuff reported at jenkins?17:57
infinityMaybe?17:57
infinityI'm actually remarkably ignorant to how much automation we do or don't have for flavours, and where it is.17:57
elfyhttps://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Ubiquity/view/Lubuntu/ <-wxl17:58
infinityAhh, I see no matching Kubuntu URL here.17:58
elfyyea17:58
infinityI guess it might just be a matter of asking?17:58
wxlelfy: wuzzat?17:59
=== psivaa is now known as psivaa-off
elfyinfinity: well a question asked generally gets an answer - I'd not know it though :)17:59
elfywxl: auto tests18:00
infinityjibel would know, if he's around.18:00
wxlelfy: huh. interesting.18:00
elfyyea18:00
elfywxl: very useful - it would be have been a whole lot more if I'd noticed ours were failing 2 or days prior to beta - we might have not had to run about at the last minute :)18:01
elfyand now I've seen the rss feed for that ...18:01
wxlelfy: if we have an issue there, should we just file a bug against ubiquity? also, what about the alternates?18:02
elfywxl I can't answer those questions18:02
wxlelfy: hehehe ok :)18:03
Riddellstgraber: kubuntu-plasma5 is broken on i386 but works on amd64, can we publish 1 arch only?18:16
stgraberRiddell: sure18:17
stgraberRiddell: simply mark the one that works as ready, anything that's not ready doesn't get published18:18
* Riddell makes it sew18:19
stgraberwxl: so what's going on with powerpc?18:22
wxlstgraber: i got a tester working on it, or at least he said he was18:23
stgraberwxl: ok, so I'm ready to push out beta-1 here and all the other flavours are ready, do you have any kind of ETA on that?18:23
wxlstgraber: well i said we'd probably release around 2100 utc so ig you're ready you should probably just push it out and we'll call it a learning experience18:24
wxl…unless you want to wait18:24
stgraberRiddell, rcj, elfy: are you guys fine with waiting another 2 hours?18:26
wxleven if i can just have the alternate done it will make a darn big difference18:26
elfystgraber: yea I'm fine with that - all we need to do is publish something external18:27
stgraberwxl: I'm around for the next 4 hours so I don't really mind on my end, but it depends on the other folks, so if they're all fine with it, we can do that18:27
wxlstgraber: sounds good, thanks.18:27
Riddellshould be fine18:28
stgraberok and rcj is US based so that should be easy for him too, let's plan on releasing at 20:30 UTC then18:28
* stgraber goes to work on other stuff till then :)18:28
Riddell1 hour to go!18:28
rcjstgraber, that's fine.  our beta-2 image are available for cloud use now actually18:29
wxlthanks folks!!!18:29
elfywxl: that's ok, one day the boot'll be on the other foot :p18:29
stgraberI'm going to drop the beta 1 migration freeze now though since none of you are going to be respinning anyway18:29
wxlelfy: i just hope the guy gets done in time yikes18:30
stgraberRiddell: 1 hour? are you confusing UTC and BST?18:30
=== stgraber changed the topic of #ubuntu-release to: Released: Trusty Final, Utopic Alpha 2 | Archive: open, feature freeze | Utopic Release Coordination. Please don't upload things during freezes where you shouldn't, or be prepared to apologise to the release team | We accept payment in cash, check or beer | melior malum quod cognoscis
wxlok i sent a message to the tester in mind to tell him he's got two hours and told him to make sure he at least gets the alternate done18:34
wxlwe may have to release the alternate only. he's kind of new to testing, so…18:34
Riddell#18:34
elfysounds like awesome fun ;)18:35
jibelRiddell, we have most of the flavours on https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Ubiquity/view/All/? as infinity pointed out, just not Kubuntu. If someone wants to write autopilot tests for UI driven installations, I'm happy to add them18:40
wxljibel: docs on writing tests are where?18:41
Riddelljibel: yes, what would that involve?18:41
jibelwxl, Riddell this is the tool we use to execute the tests http://unity.ubuntu.com/autopilot/, current ubiquity test are written for gtk but autopilot supports a qt backend as well18:43
jibelthe code of current tests is in ubiquity trunk http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/files/head:/autopilot/18:43
jibelyou can use it as example18:43
wxljibel: and this is only for UI software?18:44
Riddelljibel: how does this relate to utah?18:44
jibelwxl, yes18:44
jibelRiddell, it's different from utah. Utah is doing preseeded installations and doesn't exercise the UI.18:44
wxljibel: so one could use utah for the alternate installer?18:45
jibelwxl, yes18:45
wxljibel: cool thanks for the heads up!18:45
Riddelljibel: what's the use of testing preseeded installations?18:45
jibelplars, ^ where is the code of iso smoke test we run with utah?18:46
wxljibel: are you also one of the parties responsible for managing utah tests?18:46
jibelRiddell, you find all sort of issues with the base components of the installer18:46
plarsjibel: iirc that's all in lp:ubuntu-test-cases and lp:ubuntu-test-runlists18:51
wxljibel: where are the results of utah tests? on jenkins as well?18:52
plarswxl: http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/utopic/desktop/ for desktop18:53
wxlplars: thanks!18:53
wxlplars: there used to be alternates for precise but now there are not?18:56
plarswxl: iirc, the alternative image was dropped in 12.10 or so18:57
wxlplars: well not for lubuntu :)18:57
plarswxl: none of the flavors are covered by these tests though18:58
wxlplars: well time to get writing :)18:58
mapreriumh... why anjuta is not migrating?19:03
Riddellmapreri: probably blocked by beta freeze?19:14
mapreriRiddell: since 07-21? umh... today is beta1, let's see tomorrow...19:16
cjwatsonmapreri: it makes anjuta-extras uninstallable, as noted in http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_output.txt19:26
cjwatsonDepends: libanjuta-3-0 (>= 2:3.2.0), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>= 1.6.0), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.8), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.3.16), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.18.0), libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), dconf-gsettings-backend | gsettings-backend, anjuta (>= 2:3.10), anjuta (<< 2:3.11)19:27
maprericjwatson: do you know that http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html says "Valid candidate", do you?19:28
cjwatsonmapreri: update_excuses is only the first stage; update_output is the second19:28
cjwatsonmapreri: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ProposedMigration19:28
cjwatson"Valid candidate" is necessary but not sufficient for migration19:29
maprericjwatson: what a complex migration machinery... is some of a WIP to a more complete infrastructure?19:31
cjwatsonmapreri: making it more "complete" would not make it less complex :P19:32
cjwatsonit's a computationally difficult problem19:32
cjwatsonno plans to significantly change it19:33
cjwatsonalthough I would like to set up a clone of the Debian package tracking system at some point to make it easier to see what's going on with any given package19:34
maprericjwatson: seriously? do we have a so difficult dependency chain to cause a computational issue?19:34
cjwatsonhell yes19:34
maprericjwatson: do you mean the new one? that would be nice19:34
cjwatsonthe general problem is NP-complete; the two-stage system makes a *big* difference to its practical feasibility19:35
cjwatsoneven today we have some cases where a run takes on the order of an hour if a big enough transition is in progress19:35
cjwatsonthough usually it's significantly less than that19:36
cjwatsonI mean the new one yes19:36
wxlcjwatson: correct me if i'm wrong, but you aren't the mastermind behind the original amd64+mac release?19:36
cjwatsonmore o rless19:37
mapreriand why not integrating the output of the two-stage script in a single page?19:37
cjwatsonwell that's more or less what the PTS does19:37
cjwatsonI don't have the necessary weeks to go and reorganise the output19:37
mapreriindeed19:37
cjwatsonand reorganising the output would make it harder to plug in the PTS unless carefully coordinated with Debian19:38
mapreriah, now all is explained :) so the usual reason19:38
wxlcjwatson: cuz i'm trying to figure out whether or not it's even relevant any more, at least for intel macs. it seems apple pushed out a bunch of firmware releases to bump up the efi version on those early macs and i'm thinking it is unnecessary for them. any recent experience? i'm having trouble finding testers with the hardware.19:38
cjwatsonno idea19:39
cjwatsonI'm reluctant to drop it without quite strong proof19:40
wxlcjwatson: well as you said, it's still relevant to other machines from that time period, at least as long as the firmware hasn't been upgraded. i'd just been inclined to call it something like amd64-old_efi19:40
cjwatsonobviously it would be nice not to have to build it, but it would be annoying to drop it and then have to put it back later19:41
cjwatsonand indeed it turned out not to be just Macs19:41
cjwatson(IIRC)19:41
cjwatsonbut it's been a long time19:41
wxli know…19:41
wxlwell, i'm going to continue to investigate the situation and try to find targets. i'll let you know if i find anything concrete out. still, i agree we keep it jic.19:42
wxli feel like i do need to find some machines that it's relevant to, though.19:43
cjwatsonit was 2008/2009 kind of era I believe19:43
wxlfyi cjwatson i've been working on trying to figure this all out and here's what i've come up with so far https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64#amd64.2B-mac19:48
wxlstgraber: my tester ran out of time. release away.20:17
stgraberwxl: ok20:21
stgraberstarting publishing of the images now, then will wait a few minutes for them to sync and then push out the announcement20:22
wxlstgraber: i await your word20:24
stgraberhmm, looks like it's the first time we release a plasma 5 image, the tool needs updating20:25
wxlRiddell: ↑20:30
Riddellyes it's the first time20:31
stgraberI just made the tool not crash for now and will publish manually, the image name for kubuntu plasma 5 doesn't quite work with what the tool expects...20:31
stgraberas in, the image type isn't part of the name. We may want to rename the tracker entry to Kubuntu Plasma 5 Desktop instead, then update publish-image-set to consider "Kubuntu Plasma 5" as a project, that should do the trick20:32
Riddellit's always felt inconsistent to me what is a name and what is a type20:36
stgraberthings are slowly syncing...20:56
elfygood good - I see our's20:57
wxlnp20:57
elfystgraber: you got an issue with us publishing our blog page now? I've been up for 17 hours and want to press the button on it ;)20:58
stgraberelfy: if you can wait until the frontends are done syncing (xubuntu is only on 2 out of 5 apparently), then I'll push the main announcement out too21:00
elfyokey doke21:01
