| adueppen | I need some help with reporting a bug. I'm doing some QA for Google Code-in and I was doing the test for installing the alternate amd64 ISO. the installation went successfully and showed no errors, but upon rebooting, I found that xorg and LXDE had not been installed whatsoever. Running `dpkg --get-selections | grep xorg` returns no results. | 18:31 |
|---|---|---|
| phillw | adueppen: did you run the self test on the iso before booting from it? | 18:57 |
| phillw | adueppen: it seems very broken.... | 19:46 |
| phillw | I've reported it to Julien | 19:49 |
| phillw | wxl... "Hi Boss, just had an issue flagged up with the 64bit Alternate ISO... Doesn't boot into GUI and is missing things like startx, scp, man etc. Also apt-get cannot install anything such as apport (so I can use ubuntu-bug)" | 19:49 |
| adueppen | phillw: sorry for the late response, is the self-test checking the MD5? If so, I didn't do that. I tried to run apt and it requested the (non-existent) CDROM. | 21:53 |
| phillw | adueppen: is okay.. i use zsync, it does the self test for me. I can confirm your bugs. But the system is that broken instead of filing a minimal bug report which basically says "It's that broken, I cannot file a bug" I've let Julien (our head of Dev) know directly. | 21:56 |
| adueppen | phillw: OK thanks. Should I put in any bugs for the QA tracker? | 21:56 |
| phillw | I'll retry tomorrow, it could just be a miss match in the repos when the iso was made (they auto make on a cron job) they can be broken one day and working the next. | 21:57 |
| phillw | adueppen: not at present, I can pull files out of the broken VM if Julien needs any more information. | 21:58 |
| adueppen | phillw: I can send my VM state if that would help | 22:00 |
| phillw | adueppen: it's okay. I use guestfish to pull out any files that are requested. It's a handy addition for ISO testing and another reason most testers use KVM instead of vBox :) | 22:02 |
| phillw | I covered it very quickly a few cycles ago (the install command has changed). | 22:03 |
| adueppen | phillw: also I just checked the MD5 and it was fine, so definitely not an issue just us two are having | 22:04 |
| phillw | adueppen: also, there is some further information on the tracker page for using with VM's etc. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Overview/Install_Bugs | 22:04 |
| phillw | but, with ubuntu-bug not there and not able to install apport, there is not a great deal extra we can do at present. | 22:05 |
| phillw | adueppen: "Hi Boss, just had an issue flagged up with the 64bit Alternate ISO... Doesn't boot into GUI and is missing things like startx, scp, man etc. Also apt-get cannot install anything such as apport (so I can use ubuntu-bug)" In case you missed me posting up what I sent our Head of Dev. | 22:06 |
| adueppen | phillw: yeah I saw that, just wanted to check | 22:14 |
| phillw | adueppen: Julien will reply round about 27th / 28th Which is just in time for the A1 to be tested and approved. It's no big issue if we miss the Alpha 1 for all the IOS's. At this stage, we WANT to find issues :) | 22:42 |
| adueppen | phillq: OK I'll see if the issue happens for the other tests, which it probably will | 22:42 |
| phillw | it may affect the alternates as that uses a different seed to the desktop images | 22:43 |
| phillw | I'll update my 64 bit desktop image and throw it on the VM | 22:43 |
| phillw | having desktop and alternate as different build sequences does help lubuntu out at times if one does not play nicely (usually the PPC images). | 22:46 |
| phillw | Ad, of course, we have PPC images this cycle | 22:46 |
| phillw | adueppen: can you un-attach bug#1 from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/351/builds/109239/testcases/1437/results, thanks. | 22:49 |
| adueppen | phillw: it won't let me not attach the bug and still mark it as a failure | 22:49 |
| phillw | adueppen: just leave it as testing in progress, which it currently is as I want to wait for tomorrows re-build of the iso to see if was just the repo out of sync. | 22:50 |
| adueppen | phillw: OK I'll do that | 22:51 |
| phillw | adueppen: you can a comment similar to mine and leave it as test in progress. It will be removed when the automatic rebuild takes place. | 22:53 |
| adueppen | phillw: done | 22:54 |
| phillw | adueppen: I'm going to do the Desktop amd64 iso install. | 22:54 |
| adueppen | phillw: if you have any issues with that, it's probably where it goes to a blank screen instead of telling you to remove the install media and press enter | 22:55 |
| phillw | I'm used to that one... Been a tester sine 10.04, hence my suggesting i let Julien know we had a real odd build (he has done work to have the ISO back CD sized again) and still allow the auto rebuild to occur ij case it is just a daily break. | 22:58 |
| phillw | grr @ timeout on ubiquity installer! | 23:03 |
| adueppen | phillw: one last question: should I still try the other tests to see if they produce a different result? | 23:04 |
| phillw | yes, but do do them to extent of relaxing on Christmas Eve. Regardless of what failures we find, I'm minded to not raise a manual bug until the respin tomorrow. If that still fails, I will raise a bug manually and include dump files from the VM. | 23:07 |
| phillw | *do not do them to the extent* | 23:08 |
| adueppen | OK | 23:08 |
| phillw | I've got 30 minutes to go before putting the oven for to cook the beef joint over night! | 23:08 |
| phillw | ahh, that answered that, it still uses zram :P | 23:13 |
| phillw | adueppen: the desktop ISO machine okay. | 23:16 |
| adueppen | phillw: ? | 23:18 |
| phillw | adueppen: desktop amd 64 image installed and boots up fine | 23:19 |
| adueppen | phillw: oh OK. must be an issue with the alt image(s) then | 23:19 |
| phillw | it would point to that, as I said - Julien has done some serious dieting of the alternate image and may have been a little too harsh in what he removed. | 23:20 |
| phillw | But, it could equally be a mis match in repos. Julien is pretty careful, so I'm not going to blame him outright! | 23:21 |
