bluesabreflocculant: updated the pad02:29
Unit193flocculant: Now getting hit by LP 1560459 too.02:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1560459 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "ubiquity crashed with GLib.GError in customize_installer(): vte-pty-error: grantpt failed: Operation not permitted (1)" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/156045902:31
Unit193flocculant: ...So using the workaround for that bug, install works.  Not sure if bug fixed or that workaround just works for that too. >_>02:51
bluesabreknome: added a bit to the cloud article, not sure what else we need there unless we want team commentary on these posts03:11
bluesabrelike03:12
bluesabreSimon (XPL): "I really like how Spotify plays music, better than my old tape deck of 80s mix tapes"03:13
bluesabreknome: confirmed that docs seem good now03:31
bluesabreI'll wait until morning, then reach out to -devel and upload03:32
bluesabrenight all03:32
Unit193G'night.03:32
flocculantUnit193: I'd not say the existence of a cli workround to fix the gui update tool counts as fixed :p07:49
Unit193Right, though not sure if it's the workaround that helped or ubiquity was fixed, and broken differently. :P07:50
flocculantno idea - not looked since Saturday :)07:50
Unit193Sure, sure.  And at this point too late anyway, I'd think.07:50
flocculantwho knows - given that the images are all getting marked as critical fails - I'd expect a rebuild :p07:51
flocculantif I get time I'll do an upgrade test - but you know how quick they are ... 07:51
flocculantand rebuilding :p08:02
Unit193https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.21.51 that sounds important.08:17
Unit193FWIW, I started new builds too, but they'll take a bit to build.. :/08:24
flocculantyes - that does sound important :p08:24
flocculantalso ack that 08:25
Unit193flocculant: Bah, back to the first issue.  So workaround works for this problem too.09:53
flexiondotorgHave you tested the new beta 2 isos?09:58
flexiondotorgIs Ubiquity still crashing for Xubuntu?09:58
Unit193flexiondotorg: Different thing.09:59
flexiondotorgOK, but is Ubiquity working for you?10:00
Unit193Not for what I'm doing no, but that's not to say the Beta 2 images don't install fine.10:01
akxwi-daveflexiondotorg, just testing the new beta 2 as we speak... Ubiquity seems ok so far.. got to the try xubuntu screen this time.. :-)10:34
flexiondotorgakxwi-dave, Thanks. In which case I've got a borked package :-(10:35
flexiondotorgAnd uninstallable images.10:35
akxwi-davejust about to run the full install as well.10:36
bluesabreflocculant: building here, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/16.04.3, suppose you could start another rebuild once its published11:12
bluesabreknome: looks like we're still waiting for a new ubiquity-slideshow upload (vertical list of app icons)11:14
knomebluesabre, hmm.11:27
knomebluesabre, well, it'll land when the translations are uploaded i guess11:27
bluesabrejust thought I'd let you know :)11:27
knomethe last time i checked though, it looked like many flavors had the old 15.10 slideshows11:28
knomei just bumped their version numbers up11:28
knomei would imagine they want to update those as well11:28
flocculantbluesabre: mmm - even if I rebuild will it have that new docs package if it's in proposed? 12:21
flocculantguess not "Not touching package due to block request by freeze (contact #ubuntu-release if update is needed) " in excuses ...12:22
flocculantaah I see your request in -release now :)12:25
ric_sHi, Is there a maximum number of photos to send to xubuntu contest? I did not find this information13:26
knomeric_s, not really; though we don't want to encourage people to send their whole photo directory for obvious reasons :)13:31
ric_s1000 pictures is a good number?13:32
ric_sjoke ;)13:32
knomepick 10 best13:32
knome:)13:33
knomeor sth...13:33
ric_sthanks for the reply knome :)13:33

knomethanks for participating and good luck!13:33
ric_stks13:33
NairwolfI'm gonna do upgrade test with the Beta 2 ;)13:43
akxwi-davegood luck,,13:53
Nairwolfthanks13:55
Nairwolfit's really long to upgrade my system ^^15:04
akxwi-davestill going?15:18
flocculantbluesabre knome: so I set an upgrade going this afternoon - it does boot to what appears to be a xenial desktop, even so - dpkg configure is still running now 5 minutes after I got that far :)17:21
flocculantknome: grabbed docs from -proposed, looks right eg no contr stuff, pdf looks right, not sure that it needs the green thing now the contr stuff has gone, no need to differentiate 17:26
mexchiphi18:21
mexchipI'd like to ask a question regarding this bug:18:21
mexchiphttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/156045918:21
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1560459 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "ubiquity crashed with GLib.GError in customize_installer(): vte-pty-error: grantpt failed: Operation not permitted (1)" [Critical,Fix released]18:21
mexchipyesterday I tried the 20160322 image and encountered that bug18:22
mexchiptoday, I see a fix has been released18:22
mexchipmy question is, how long could it take for the fix to be applied to a new live image?18:23
mexchipso that I can repeat the test18:23
mexchipto confirm the bug has been solved18:23
flocculantmexchip: there was a rebuild about 10 hours ago - the bug is fixed18:28
flocculantmexchip: in future you can check for rebuilds on milestones fairly easily - go to tracker - check the version - we're now at 2016032318:29
flocculantif there were further rebuilds *today* then you'd see 20160323.1, .2 etc18:29
flocculantmexchip: finally - thanks for testing :)18:30
mexchipyes, I'm already downloading 20160323, but don't know if it included the fix18:30
flocculantyep18:30
mexchipgreat, I'd give a try once the download finishes18:30
mexchipthanks18:30
flocculantwelcome :)18:30
flocculantmexchip: you downloading the whole iso again? 18:30
flocculantor do you know about zsync or rsync?18:31
mexchipdownloading the whole iso with zsync18:32
flocculantok - you should keep the old one and just zsync that :)18:32
mexchipI don't have the previous image, downloaded it on another machine18:32
flocculantack18:33
flocculantjust making sure you knew :)18:33
mexchipI had not used zsync before, wished I knew about it before18:33
mexchipthx18:34
Nairwolfhi everyone, I couldn't upgrade my system18:35
NairwolfI was interrupted, I will try to do it again tonight18:35
flocculantNairwolf: what sort of upgrade?18:46
flocculantmexchip: yea - very handy - I only use it for time to be honest, but if you're somewhere with slow net, or limited bandwidth - very useful :)18:47
flocculantbluesabre: what we going to do about the blueman crash? if there is something we can do of course ... 18:54
flocculantoh - now I look I see it's gone upstream :)18:54
Nairwolffrom 14.04.4 to 16.04 with the upgrade-manager18:54
NairwolfAs I don't have so much time now before eating, I will test from 15.10 to 16.0418:55
Nairwolfwhat is the most urgent to test, with the upgrade-manager, or with a new iso ?18:55
flocculantNairwolf: and did you read the mail to the dev list about upgrades specifically? 18:55
flocculantflexiondotorg: thanks for that btw19:00
Nairwolfyes, of course, flocculant19:05
ochosibluesabre: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-appfinder/commit/?id=4f3266b4902cc983385fbe6fee0a26db1002dcfb19:05
flocculantNairwolf: so why tell us the upgrade is broken - when we told *you* and all :)19:06
Nairwolfit is said that the upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 works, but I wanted to verify it again19:06
ochosibluesabre: and meh, the upstream appicon of xfce4-notifyd is png and *crap*19:06
flocculantochosi: evening :)19:06
ochosibluesabre: i can try to get in touch with jeromeg to refresh it and provide more sizes... i guess we should try that for all of xfce since appstream exposes the crappy default icons now19:07
ochosievening flocculant 19:07
ochosijust stopping by to fix some stuff19:07
flocculant:)19:07
ochosibluesabre: i'm wondering whether meanwhile we should patch the xfce packages in our repos to ship the elementary icons instead of the unmaintained upstream crap...19:07
ochosiflocculant: now it's dinner time ;)19:08
ochosibbabl19:08
Nairwolfflocculant, I'm not sure to understand, are you saying it's not really necessary to test upgrades with hardware ? 19:10

Nairwolf_upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 is also really long...20:41
flocculantNairwolf_: upgrading via update-manager IS long20:42
knomeflocculant, not very20:48
flocculantgood enough for me20:48

flocculantrelease notes are more or less finished too now - just need to sort out a few bug removals/movements depending on tracker results 21:57
knomelooks good to me, added release tag21:57
flocculantand lose the BFRB21:57
flocculantknome: I always forget tags ... 21:57

flocculantaah right from Minimal upgrade testing was undertaken during this milestone. There ... 21:59
knomeyep21:59
flocculantjust leaving the ... recommended 21:59
flocculantyup - works for me :)21:59
knomeit felt a bit too much with the next paragraph mostly bold too21:59
Nairwolfflocculant, I can confirm that the upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 works with a real hardware. I know that it has already been tested, but it's better to test twice than one. 21:59
flocculantyep - that's fine knome :)21:59
Nairwolfespecially with different hardware21:59
flocculantNairwolf: ack thanks :)21:59
flocculantyea ofc21:59
knomeso consider an ACK from me for releasing 22:00
knomeunless it happens to be me to do that22:00
flocculantNairwolf: if I had time - and didn't start using dev almost straight away I could properly upgrade test22:00
flocculantknome: yup - thanks :)22:00
flocculantdepends on time - and as infinity - likely I will be snoring :p22:01
knomeheh22:01
flocculantcouple of resize tests to see results for only22:01
Nairwolfflocculant: tell me if I can do something to help you22:01
flocculantand any extras of course22:01
flocculantNairwolf: resize image tests :p22:02
knomebtw, i noticed something today on the contest site...22:02
flocculantknome: ... 22:02
knomeapparently for some reason you can select not to share your LP username with it22:02
flocculantorly22:02
knomeit's no problem in a way22:02
flocculantnever noticed that22:02
knomewe will just have people's emails directly22:02
Nairwolfflocculant: what does mean "resize image tests" ? 22:02
flocculantI did go looking to see the voting bit :)22:02
knomei double-checked today; xubuntu.org always needs it, contest doesn't22:03
knomesooo..22:03
flocculantNairwolf: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1301/info22:03
flocculantis the testcase22:03
knome(and yeah, we're using the exact same wordpress and plugin versions, so go figure)22:03
flocculantknome: odd22:03
knomeoh22:04
flocculantperhaps because *anyone* can post there - unlike the rest of the site22:04
knomethere was one setting thing22:04
knomemaybe that helps22:04
flocculant:)22:04
* knome facepalms22:04
knomei have no idea why i didn't see that before22:04
knomeanyway22:04
knomeit's not a biggie22:04
knomewe do have their email addresses anyway for contacting22:04
knomeand if they gave a bogus one... their loss22:04
flocculantNairwolf: basically - install (making sure drives is big enough for more than one install) then reboot with the iso - install, it will ask if you want alongside install22:05
flocculantknome: yea22:05
Nairwolfokay, I will test that tomorrow I think22:06
flocculantNairwolf: thanks :)22:06
flocculantthough depends on when of course - I might have marked all ready :)22:06
NairwolfI can't test it tonight because I'm trying tu upgrade Xubuntu from 14.04.4, as I had to stopped it this afternoon22:07
flocculantNairwolf: if you are doing so with the update-manager - it WILL crash, you WILL have to hard reboot :)22:08
flocculantknome: voting works then :)22:09
knomemhm22:09
knomeare we voting already then? P22:09
knome:P22:09
flocculantwell I did to see :)22:09
knomehahah22:09
NairwolfI just want to confirm it, flocculant, and mark that this bug is affecting me22:10
Nairwolfhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/154906722:10
knomewell it should be relatively easy to wipe out the votes if needed22:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1555237 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1549067 Upgrade from 14.04.4→ 16.04 dies midway taking out the session." [Critical,In progress]22:10
flocculantcos first off I thought the +/- buttons were rather dim - then once voted on *something* it all became clear22:10
flocculantin more ways than one :p22:10
knomelol22:10
knomeyep22:10
knomeactually what i should do is add a "neutral" button there too22:10
flocculantknome: why shouldn't team vote on things as they get time? makes sense to me22:11
knomeif team should vote, then we should link the team LP to as admins22:11
knomeor some else new role that has voting rights22:11
knome(admin is fine though, i don't think anybody would abuse)22:11
flocculantknome: I thought of that while I was there - but then I went back to my default thinking - if not voted yay or nay - fence sitter are you :)22:11
knomeit all depends how we want to do the voting22:12
flocculantknome: well yea - I still obviously think we're missing a trick on not having community votes22:12
knomeas i said before, i don't have a strong preference22:12
knomewe can still hook up -users to a role that can vote22:12
knomethough the votes are totals22:13
knomeso if we then wanted to vote between the team22:13
flocculantI'd be happy doing something like a civs for the community to whittle it down - then keep the community top vote, then team vote in 5 more 22:13
flocculantor something 22:13
knomewe would have to clear votes or do it manually22:13
knomehmm22:13
knomeanother option is make team vote22:13
knomeand then pick top X from that list22:13
knomeand put the rest that have a positive score in CIVS22:13
knomeso some moderation from team, but not too much22:14
flocculantor22:14
flocculanthave team vote for X, keep a couple, let community pick Y from remainder22:14
flocculantor is that another way of saying what you did ... 22:14
knomeyes, it's the same22:14
flocculanttrouble with that is 22:15
knomeso basically team decides their winners22:15
knomeand the community can vote for the rest that have a positive score22:15
flocculantteam might vote on 4 - we want a lot more :)22:15
knomeeg. are not completely crap22:15
knomewe can also figure out a list of all submissions that have at least one positive vote22:15
flocculantyea22:15
knomethough at that point i would probably just let community vote on all22:15
knomebecause if something has +1 and -7...22:16
flocculantright22:16
knomeit's as good/bad as -822:16
knomefrom my POV22:16
flocculantthere's a week to sort it out22:17
flocculantI know how to drag info from LP group for civs22:17
flocculantif we want to do that22:17
knomedragging stuff from the contest site to civs on the other hand...22:18
knomeactually what i should do is create a template for the contest site that shows all the entries so far22:18
flocculantwhat's the deadline as far as release schedule goes? 22:19
flocculantFinal Freeze I assume22:19
knomeyes22:19
knomewas my thinking that if we got voting done (early) on release week 24, we'd have a few days before FF22:19
knomeso we need to make sure bluesabre is around for an upload22:20
knomeand might want to do the exception paperwork early22:20
flocculantyea - if we went that way - end civs on the Thursday before week 2522:20
flocculantthen we have Friday to Sunday to choose final lot22:21
knomewell we can start the CIVS vote on the day the voting ends if community votes from all22:21
flocculantyea22:21
knomeif we want team moderation, then it's a much tighter22:21
flocculantI'd be inclined towards community vote in 1022:21
flocculantwe keep at least top 122:21
knomei mean22:21
flocculantteam votes on rest22:21
knomeultimately, if the community votes for something that is totally unacceptable22:22
knomethe team can have a veto anyway22:22
flocculantyep22:22
knomeso there's no reason to apply team moderation before22:22
knomein a way..22:22
flocculantwell22:22
flocculantin that case why bother :)22:22
flocculanthere's the ones we want you to vote on22:22
knomewell okay, if we have 100 submissions, a CIVS poll is not going to be nice22:22
flocculantright22:23
knomethat's my main concern22:23
flocculantand I'd not do it :p22:23
knomeespecially since the targets are in a different website22:23
flocculanthas to be a manageable number 22:23
flocculantyea22:23
knomeso i'm not really sure what the ideal way is22:23
knomeas i said before, we can let the community vote on the site too22:23
flocculantmaybe team should vote 12 - then let community vote 6 of those22:23
knomebut also we don't have a way to separate votes from different groups...22:24
flocculantyes - but would they? 22:24
knomewould they vote on CIVS?22:24
flocculantif we civs - we can do LP users22:24
flocculantwell they'd get a mail22:24
knomesame with the site22:24
flocculantI would if I was just bert22:24
knomewe can link -users to voters22:24
flocculantright22:25
knome(currently voting is linked with the admin group, but that's easy to work around)22:25
flocculantwe need to see what the rest of team thinks about it I guess22:25
knomeyep22:26
flocculantif I'm the only one who thinks we're missing a trick - then *shrug*22:26
knomelol22:26
flocculantnot that I'd not keep on banging the drum :D22:26
knomeit's just so much easier to do team voting only22:26
flocculantof course22:26
knomewell, the last time it was a subteam of team22:26
knomebut now we have a better voting mechanism22:26
flocculantonly have to count to 7 or so that bother to vote :p22:26
knomeso no reason not to involve whole team22:26
flocculantmight be best to ping people in channel rather than m/l22:27
knomemhm22:28
flocculantanyway - zebedee is about now :)22:28
knomelol22:28
knomegood night :)22:28
flocculantnight knome et al :)22:28
knomehello amerigena 22:28
flocculantclose my eyes and hope I don't see the release note ... 22:29
knomehahah22:29
knomefair enough22:29
