flocculantballoons: so that was bizarre ... aborted an install, then the stick which I'd used wouldn't boot the second time11:45
flocculantalso could you approve https://code.launchpad.net/~flocculant/ubuntu-manual-tests/1511324/+merge/27610211:46

flocculantalways good :D11:46
flocculantknome: if you have a minute you could do that MP :)11:47
knomeflocculant, shouldn't it be Ctrl+L and not Ctrl +L11:47
knome:P11:47
flocculantnot as worried about that as someone digging porn out of that samples place :D11:48
knomewell...11:49
knomeok11:49
knome:P11:49
flocculantI'll change the +L before I merge it11:49
knomei approced11:49
knomeapproved too11:49
flocculantok doke thanks - I'll do the rest now11:49

balloonsGood morning12:46
flocculanthi balloons :)12:48
flocculantpitti: haven't reported it with xenial being new and not sure where it stands, but ... had to ln -fs /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab just now13:20
pittiflocculant: that should happen automatically during boot via /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/debian.conf13:22
pittiflocculant: what happened? did you end up without an /etc/mtab after boot?13:22
pittiflocculant: please do report such issues13:22
pittiflocculant: we have long stopped the "let's break everything now and try to fix half of it after feature freeze" approach :)13:23
pittiflocculant: indeed in xenial I replaced debian-fixup.service with that tmpfiles.d snippet, but except for being faster that shoudl be more or less the same13:23
pittiand I tested it with mtab being a file and absent13:23
flocculantmmm13:29
flocculantI can try again later with the same stick on a different partition and see if I get it again13:30
flocculantpitti: I didn't actually look to see if I ended up without that - though I did manage to boot the system with upstart13:31
pittiflocculant: oh - did it not  boot with systemd, and with some error "your /etc/mtab is a file"?13:32
pittibecause that's a thing; I meant to send u-devel@ about that13:32
flocculantit failed with "/etc/mtab isn't a symlink  or not pointing to /proc/blah"13:33
flocculantpitti: ack - I'll mail the list then :)13:33
pittiflocculant: ok; what kind of install was that?13:33
pittiflocculant: this is precisely meant to find installer bugs etc. which still creates /etc/mtab as a file13:33
flocculantxubuntu 64bit13:33
pitti(I'll disable the hard failure after some weeks, but we really want to find those)13:34
pittiflocculant: oh, so a desktop install?13:34
flocculantpitti: do you want me to bug report it instead?13:34
flocculantyep13:34
flocculantto a pre-formatted partition13:34
pittiflocculant: yes, please; ubiquity for a desktop install will do fine; please give me the bug number, I'll add some additional info to it13:34
flocculantpitti: bug 151137613:38
ubot5bug 1511376 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "/etc/mtab is not a link" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/151137613:38
flocculantI'll link that from the iso tracker too - so hopefully people will see it13:39
flocculantno I won't - still no testcases there to report against ...13:40
flocculantballoons: ^^ when will there be testcases showing up for iso tracker?13:40
flocculantpitti: obviously - anything I can do or provide from here - just ask :)13:41
pittiflocculant: done now: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2015-October/038961.html13:43
flocculantpitti: I can post on the dev bit of the forum - do you want people to me too the bug I just reported - or report each time?13:44
pittiand bug updated13:44
pittiflocculant: nah, duplicates aren't necessary13:45
flocculantk - I'll link your mail and this bug then13:45
pittime too is sufficient (althuogh this isn't platform specific at all)13:45
pittiflocculant: cheers!13:45
flocculantok done that now13:48
=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
balloonsflocculant, on the images, I would have expected them by now14:06
flocculantballoons: yep - not looked any further than me and ubuntu, I've got 32bit no 64bit, ubuntu neither14:09
balloonsit's a script that runs, but it should be daily14:10
balloonssome only run once a week14:10
balloonslet's see14:10
balloonsI just saw this: https://code.launchpad.net/~pharmasolin/ubuntu-manual-tests/VLC_updated/+merge/27571515:45
balloonsflocculant, how different is that from the xubuntu + orca experience?15:46
flocculantnot sure - not had time to look properly15:46
flocculantbut the experience won't be saying unity, nor hud for 2 :)15:46
flocculantshame he'd added the orca bit - the vlc was ready to deal with15:47
balloonsI'm of the mind to merge it, but I understand your concerns15:47
balloonsI'd rather it was more vague overall15:48
flocculantit's your baby L(15:48
flocculant:)15:48
balloonsthe specific wording may change15:48
flocculantI meant15:48
balloonsI'll try leaving a comment15:48
flocculanttbh we don't test it anyway15:48
flocculantbut unless it's something very specific like an xfce thing - imho tests should be agnostic15:49
flocculantESPECIALLY something that's going to talk to you in some mad computer voice ;)15:49
balloonsYou and I agree on this15:49
flocculantI thought we did :)15:49
balloonsflocculant, I'm going to land it, and update / file a bug for checking on the flavor support. I'd hate to lose the improvements, and the contributor is new15:51
flocculantyea15:51
flocculantballoons: or I'll land it15:52
flocculantmight look better15:52
balloonsflocculant, ohh.. that would be helpful, than kyou15:52
flocculantwelcome :)15:52
balloonsflocculant, yea, the first MP can be nicer.. if it was you, I'd make you fix it!15:52
flocculant:D15:52
flocculantpitti: re the mtab issue, just want to double check that it's expected in vm's - I assume so15:56
flocculantballoons: ok done all that, created a new bug to doublecheck orca - mentioned in that also the screenreader bug - could be done at the same time perhaps16:04
flocculantbug 130868716:04
ubot5bug 1308687 in Ubuntu Manual Tests "Screenreader Testcase needs updating" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/130868716:04
pittiflocculant: this shouldn't be hardware/platform specific at all, indeed16:05
flocculantok cool - just wanted to make sure - I suspect we'll get lots of people noticing it now :D16:05
balloonsflocculant, just looking at the buglist again, and seeing all those lubuntu bugs.16:06
flocculantwell16:06
flocculantI see the studio ones :)16:06
balloonsand myth.. just agreeing they are quite cluttered16:08
flocculantyea16:08
flocculantI did clear out the edubuntu ones16:08
flocculantand zequence is trying to push the studio stuff16:09
flocculantballoons: I'd quite like to get that bug list cleaned up so it's just got real ones left this cycle16:43
balloonsagreed16:43
flocculantI'll manage one way or the other to do that :p16:48
=== boiko_ is now known as boiko
wxlhey folks. are we aware of the fact that the testcases are no where to be found on the tracker?17:49
balloonswxl, we are17:53
balloonsbut only the isotracker to be fair17:53
wxli didn't get a notice that there was a build failure or anything. what's the deal?17:53
wxlballoons: ↑17:53
balloonswell, if you'll notice there's no images for today: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/17:54
balloonsso I'm assuming we'll builds once a new image that passes gating occurs17:54
wxloh uh weird17:54
wxlbut there are images listed on the tracker??17:55
wxllike our images are there http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20151029/17:55
wxlwell the ubuntu images aren't there it seems balloons, but there are valid images17:57
wxland those valid images don't have testcases17:57
balloonsI'm not sure what you mean17:57
balloonsahh right17:57
wxlif you look at the tracker there are images for the 29th for kubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu core, etc17:58
wxlthere are no images since the 27th for ubuntu desktop17:58
wxli think that's a separate issue17:58
wxlbecause no image listed has a testcase associated with it17:58
wxlrelease team (cjwatson no less) had no clue so i'm assuming it has something to do with either tracker management or with the testcase repo17:59
flocculantalmost - for some reason my 32bit does have18:03
balloonsohh, so silly18:04
balloonsi misunderstood what you meant until now, hah18:05
wxlwho you guys talking to? XD18:06
flocculantballoons: what I meant?18:06
flocculantwxl: I was talking to you perhaps :D18:06
flocculantbut earlier balloons and I were discussing it :)18:06
balloonsyou should look at lubuntu18:06
wxlflocculant: well i can assure you my question is directed at both you and balloons but other than that i don't know XD18:06
flocculant:p18:07
flocculantI *do* have a 32 bit one for some reason18:07
wxlOH18:07
wxlyou do!18:07
flocculantnow I think that balloons might have see what's up18:07
flocculantyep18:07
wxli didn'18:07
wxlt scroll down that far XD18:07
flocculanthave done for days18:08
flocculantwxl: scroll?18:08
wxlon the tracker, flocculant18:08
flocculantI don't see anyone but mine unless I enable them :D18:08
wxlright right18:08
wxli usually look at them all when there are problems18:08
flocculantoh I do that18:08
balloonsso normally the testsuites are copied over for a new cycle from the previous cycle. However, this is done by a handrun script18:10
wxlballoons: by qa or release?18:10
balloonsas product manager, you can always edit it yourself if you wish to change18:10
balloonsit's something stephane used to do. Technically, it should be set I suppose by each product manager18:11
wxlwell yes but if it's universally a problem… XD18:11
wxlwell if you want to make it a thing that each product manager does, i guess an email needs to go out18:11
wxlmaybe with instructions if everyone's not clear on the process18:11
flocculantthat'd be useful - cos most of the tracker is clear as mud :p18:12
wxlflocculant: incidentially, that was implied XD18:13
flocculant:)18:13
wxlin fact i'm desperately trying to figure out how to do this as we speak XD18:13
flocculantI can do most of what I need to now without breaking my stuff18:13
flocculantI'm also convinced I don't see all the tracker admin options18:14
flocculant6 tabs including the empty summary one18:14
wxlyeah i'm clueless here balloons18:15
wxlor maybe mine is set right?18:16
wxlhere's the testsuites associated with xenial http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/series/56/testsuites18:16
wxlalso fwiw someone needs to edit the contacts for kubuntu :/18:17
flocculanthow do you get that view?18:18
wxlflocculant: main tracker page; click on testsuites in the xenial section18:18
flocculantoic - that's just the list of all the tests that people see18:20
flocculantwas looking at admin stuff18:20
balloonswxl, http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/admin/config/services/qatracker/products/218/testsuites18:21
balloonswxl, it's something you can always change, but it's been done for everyone each cycle, so I don't see why we'd change now18:21
wxlokie dokie. thanks balloons18:21
balloonsI trust at times you have changed your testsuite :-)18:21
wxlnot in a while!18:22
flocculantballoons: I get The resource you tried to access doesn't exist. for that18:23
balloonsflocculant, yep, it's wx's18:24
balloonsyou would have to manage your own18:24
wxlok now i can go back to my regular work18:24
wxlthanks all :)18:24
balloonsflocculant, like http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/admin/config/services/qatracker/products/40/testsuites18:24
flocculantI try - but I can never find the manual :p18:24
balloonswxl, btw, any lubuntu sessions happening for uos"?18:24
wxlballoons: i haven't had time to arrange anything yet. if we did anything, it might be a planning session, but we're pretty good about communication throughout the team and working through emails/irc/etc, so that may not be too useful18:25
wxlballoons: as far as show and tell sort of stuff is concerned, i think we'll plan on doing one for 16.10 as that's when we hope to release lxqt18:26
flocculantballoons: so mine are set up?18:26
balloonswxl, ok. Always nice to see something18:26
balloonsflocculant, I think they might all be yes18:26
wxlballoons: is flexiondotorg doing one on his pi2 images?18:26
flocculantcos I thought I'd done what was needed18:26
balloonswxl, yes18:26
wxlballoons: good, because otherwise i'd do one for him XD18:27
balloonswxl, :-) SHowing up in support is a good idea then too18:27

=== rfinley is now known as average_guy
flocculantballoons: so why do I only have 32 bit stuff - or am I now just waiting for something to finish cooking?18:29
balloonsflocculant, you have testsuites set for amd64 and i38618:30
balloonsflocculant, we need an upgrade from trusty testcase ;-)18:32
flocculantk - I looked in the manual but couldn't find that :(18:32
flocculantballoons: where abouts :P18:32
flocculantthere really should be something written down about this :p18:34
balloonsfound'em. http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1636/info and http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1635/info18:34
flocculantright18:36
flocculantballoons: really - how to set the isotracker up for flavours - assuming flavours can turn stuff one - should be documented somewhere18:37
flocculantmostly I just worked along clicking things and hoping for the best :[18:38
flocculant:p18:38
balloonsI remember there was an admin guide on the wiki19:20
balloonsbut I never can find it19:20
balloonsit's like 3 tabs you can see19:20
balloonsI think, right19:20
balloons??19:20
flocculantI can see 5 useful ones19:21
flocculantI managed to beat it into submission now :)19:22
flocculantcore had no testcases in it19:22
flocculantPharmasolin: re Orca, if you're not sure then leave it - someone else will pick it up :)19:37
knomeballoons, like 7 for me...20:14
flocculantwhich is why I wonder what's up with all that20:27
flocculantnuclearbob: hey - so I always feel bad about asking cos I can't do anything to actually help - but what's the status/prognosis on the jenkins for flavour effort?22:33
flocculantunless you're still not too good22:33
flocculantI do read the backlog ;)22:33
flocculantcyphermox: who's the best person to talk to about how apport works?23:37
flocculantI'm confused as to why when it gets turned on the crashdb.conf gains a #23:38
flocculantalso we tell people to add Crash to ‘problem_types’: [‘Bug’, ‘Package’] so we see them23:39
flocculantand not cyphermox at all - but anyone in ubuntu-qa - what real reason is there for not being able to ubuntu-bug foo when you've a PPA?23:40
flocculantbecause some teams like us, have official PPAs which we use to test fixes out in - and having to have bizarre bug reporting doesn't help us at all23:41
flocculantballoons: I'm assuming that qa-team does ping them still?23:42
