tsimonq2wxl, phillw: I heard rumors that 14.04 -> 16.04 is fixed, so I'm making myself a stock Lubuntu 14.04 install and I'll upgrade to 16.04, hopefully it doesn't break everything :)00:45
tsimonq2(installing on a flash drive)00:46
phillwtsimonq2: it is, but will not be there until next spin00:47

ubot93Launchpad bug 1555237 in systemd (Ubuntu) "Upgrade from 14.04.4→ 16.04 dies midway taking out the session." [Critical,Fix released]00:47
phillwtsimonq2:  do pay attention!!!!00:47
tsimonq2phillw: but I'm testing anyways :)00:47
phillwas you wish...00:47
tsimonq2and I'm not using an ISO00:47
tsimonq2I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/i386/apds04.html00:47
tsimonq2so it should be fixed in my install :)00:47
phillwI'm awaiting the spin to arrive and follow iso testing proceedure00:47
tsimonq2I'll follow the upgrade test prodecure, if we have one :)00:48
phillwwe have 2 :D00:48
tsimonq2heh, I'll look :)00:48
phillwone for lts and one for short release00:48
tsimonq2:/ 4 GB flash drive is too small, partitioning my hard drvie and repeating, so although it's delayed, I'll deliver :)01:46
tsimonq2*drive01:46
phillw4 GB is not too small for alternate :P01:55
phillwand, i am NOT boasting, but my smaller HDDs are all in working machines - so I'm backing up my external 1TB disk to one of the 2TB ones so I can use it as a usb stick... I know it sounds crazy, but new piglet is usb3 and they fly like hell on it!!!01:57
tsimonq2well I can use Lubuntu but it needs ~ 800 MB more to do-release-upgrade01:57
tsimonq2heheheheheh01:58
phillwmy usb disks I have working machines on, which will be updated once I have a proven solutuon01:58
phillwtsimonq2: ahh, yeah... that could be a killer.... Not tried to push the lower boundaries of what it can handle as I default give 10 GB so I can then do side by side install as part of test process.01:59
phillwthat is something that needs investigating tsimonq202:00
tsimonq2phillw: what, specifically?02:09
tsimonq2disk space?02:09
phillwyes02:09
phillwwell, free disk space02:09
tsimonq2I'll do that after I confirm 14.04 -> 16.0402:09
tsimonq2I'll install stock Lubuntu and play with that, then I'll use my metapackage and test LXQt02:10
phillwi will also play tomorrow once the iso tracker confirms the new iso is there with the fix in.02:10
tsimonq2I'll send to lubuntu-devel afterwards, on both occasions :)02:10
phillwokies, but do use the iso-tracker test cases, as those are the ones that matter to Walter when it comes to release time.02:12
tsimonq2yup, although I can always poke him :)02:13
tsimonq2reboot time! :)02:13
phillwtsimonq2: not for final release. We bend them all the way thru'02:13
tsimonq2:)02:21
tsimonq2phillw: for that, I will have a VM :)02:22
tsimonq2not today, bare metal :)02:23
tsimonq2(at dad's)02:23
phillwwhen we go to RC, I use bare metal.02:24
tsimonq2*especially* on an LTS! :)02:25
phillwas good as KVM is, and it is one I fully trust. I like to use a machine for it.... and as my Mum has a lubuntu laptop that she does not use in the winter months, it is an ideal test machine :)02:25
tsimonq2totally :)02:26
phillwI always use it for RC week02:36
phillwLike you, I've been running 16.04 for ages!!!02:36
tsimonq2heheheheh I've been running it since the day Wily was released, and I'll run Y as soon as Xenial releases :)02:40
phillwtsimonq2: well, actually you have not, but it is pedantic.. all the next release is what the hangovers from previous release. A very clear example of this is the step changes in the kernel. With 16.04 out of the way, there are lots of devs wetting their teeth to have stuff allowed in to 16.10 :D02:46
tsimonq2wwweeellllll...toolchain upgrades right away :)02:47
phillwthat is an admin task that has to be carried out each cycle, just as updating the iso-tracker ... Their list is some what longer than ours for just lubuntu, but are basically the same tasks... tell the system there is a +1 coming in.02:49
phillwtsimonq2: next one is fun.... 14.04.5 along with 16.04.1 .....02:50
tsimonq2yes :)02:51
phillwand even Adam Conrad said the timing for 14.04.4 and a milestone test for 16.04 in two weeks back to back was a clash of diaries. So, with 14.04.5, 16.04.1 and milestones for 16.10 they will plan the diary so that they do not exhaust and drive testers away.02:53
ianorlynphillw, but dailies are hard to track on the tester02:54
phillwianorlyn: I did raise a bug for this, but balloons wandered off to the new toy of automatic testing and it was never progressed.02:55
ianorlynhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-qa-website/+bug/1543871 I raised a bug as well and it got confirmed and marked wishlist02:55
ubot93Launchpad bug 1543871 in Ubuntu QA Website " iso tracker hard to find last time a daily build was tested " [Wishlist,Triaged]02:55
phillwindeed... wishlist == thanks, never going to happen .... what is needed is testers to go "affects me" and bump the heat up.02:56
tsimonq2*SIGH* http://paste.ubuntu.com/15584360/02:57
phillwtsimonq2: good fun trying though!! do you still have a working machine?02:58
tsimonq2heh yeah :)02:58
phillwthen the killer bug is slain.02:58
tsimonq2you wanna add that to the bug report, create a new one, or should I do something?02:58
phillwtsimonq2: nope, it is a work around :)02:58
tsimonq2I'm hoping sudo apt -f install is a workaround :)02:59
tsimonq2:/ nope02:59
phillwtsimonq2: use synaptics and ask it to fix all the broken stuff.... then apply.03:00
tsimonq2http://paste.ubuntu.com/15584384/03:00
tsimonq2synaptics? is that CLI?03:00
phillwI am used to this for upgrades03:00
phillwtsimonq2: nope, it just gets the bloody job done :)03:00
phillwyou are updating a GUI system, not a server.03:01
tsimonq2*sigh*03:01
tsimonq2!info synaptic xenial03:01
tsimonq2right?03:01
ubot93synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.83 (xenial), package size 1333 kB, installed size 6929 kB03:02
tsimonq2if so, won't install03:02
phillwno, just Menu --> system stuff --> Synaptic03:02
phillwit comes pre-installed, tsimonq203:02
tsimonq2OH03:02
tsimonq2I see03:02
tsimonq2:)03:02
phillwyou will find the "fix broken packages"03:03
tsimonq2that's awesome :D03:03
phillwunder the Edit tab03:03
* tsimonq2 nods03:04
tsimonq2nope, doesn't fix it03:05
phillwwell, I'd say bug is still present03:05
phillwI will await today's spins to give fix 24 hours to actually arrive.03:06
ianorlynI think I could respin the daily if I really needed to03:07
phillwianorlyn: do you know if the fix has progressed down to the build server?03:09
ianorlynnot sure03:09
phillwThe one thing I like about the cron jobs is that when they fire stuff in, they fire it in in time to be there for next build, and then we get tsimonq2 going "I want to test it now!!!" ... and it falls over.... :: SIGH ::03:10
tsimonq2heheheheh03:11
tsimonq2phillw: so where do I file a bug report?03:17
phillwtsimonq2: until 24 hours, you cannot03:18
tsimonq2alright, I'll wait, can you confirm tomorrow? :)03:18
phillwtsimonq2: I will test after next re-spin03:19
tsimonq2okay :)03:19
phillwthe cron job does its job for a reason.03:19
tsimonq2I'm off for the night, o/03:29
phillwtsimonq2: As you may see, I've asked on #ubuntu-release03:32
phillwtsimonq2: slaapwell03:33
phillwtsimonq2:  and any other testers, here is my chat with release team member http://pastebin.com/k3MRUbu605:00
phillwtsimonq2: system was screaming for a reboot :)14:34
tsimonq2ianorlin: hey, ping21:18
ianorlynyes tsimonq221:43
tsimonq2ianorlyn: you mind giving me a hand updating Lubuntu/Testing? I want to make sure it's as clear as possible. :)22:20
tsimonq2ianorlyn: AKA https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing22:20
tsimonq2I'll edit the main page, if you want to edit after I'm done or a different subpage, that would be awesome22:21
tsimonq2wxl: if you no longer would like the Lubuntu QA ML to be used, delete it in Launchpad please22:32
Unit193It has history, I would recommend simply closing.22:34
tsimonq2wxl: < Unit193> It has history, I would recommend simply closing.22:35
tsimonq2Unit193: he doesn't see backlogs if he is AFK :P22:35
Unit193That's OK, pings are hit and miss for him too. :P22:36
