|---|---|---|
| phillw | flexiondotorg: are you about? | 16:25 |
| teward | flexiondotorg: ah, thanks for the ping which I missed, can I bug you to check something else please? | 16:32 |

| flexiondotorg | phillw I'm not going to be able to test the PowerPC images for Lubuntu this time out. | 20:18 |
| flexiondotorg | My plate is full, I won't have the time. Sorry :-( | 20:18 |
| phillw | flexiondotorg: okies, thanks for all the help so far. | 20:18 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, Thanks for the understanding. | 20:18 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, I will prepare 16.04 Raspberry Pi images for Lubuntu though. | 20:19 |
| phillw | you already go above and beyond... apologies are not needed. | 20:19 |
| phillw | I have the image on sd card now, I will play with it tomorrow ... Have the wifi keyboard / trackpad on charge | 20:20 |

| phillw | flexiondotorg: do you know if / when they are going to turn the cron off and set up an RC image for people? | 21:44 |
| === JasonO- is now known as JasonO | ||
| phillw | wb JasonO | 21:47 |
| phillw | wb again JasonO :) | 21:48 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, All images for the last week are RC. | 21:51 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, But the final image was spun earlier today so the testing window is open. | 21:51 |
| phillw | flexiondotorg: yes, except that until the cron is turned off - each day, my release notes are "Wow, no bugs on anything!!!!" :D | 21:52 |
| tsimonq2 | flexiondotorg: would you happen to know if one could emulate a PPC system via virtualization? | 21:53 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: you can, but it is of little use | 21:53 |
| flexiondotorg | tsimonq2, Maybe in KVM. | 21:53 |
| phillw | QEMU could take in a debian part to emulate | 21:53 |
| tsimonq2 | would it then be valid for me to complete test cases with that? | 21:54 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: no, sadly.... We tried it several cycles ago and missed a massive bug. since then, ppc has been hardware only. | 21:54 |
| tsimonq2 | alright | 21:54 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: we do have a couple of people who have said they will test once it stops being a moving target... Hence my request to flexiondotorg | 21:55 |
| tsimonq2 | I saw, I read the ML :) | 21:57 |
| phillw | flexiondotorg: with http://launchpad.net/bugs/1552539 and http://launchpad.net/bugs/1570901 how long before re-spin? | 22:01 |
| ubot93 | Launchpad bug 1552539 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space" [Critical,Triaged] | 22:01 |
| ubot93 | Launchpad bug 1570901 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Cd menu not booting to ubiquity try/install menu but always to live session" [High,Confirmed] | 22:01 |
| tsimonq2 | phillw: maybe you could boot into a VM and to the live instance, do a dist-upgrade, then launch Ubiquity? | 22:06 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: I'm just looking at the test cases carried out and the same red bugs appearing. | 22:06 |
| phillw | You cannot install it, and if you want to - it goes into LiveCD mode... | 22:07 |
| phillw | Beta 2 was better than this!!! | 22:07 |
| tsimonq2 | I see | 22:07 |
| phillw | I'm going to test alternate.... one of the plus sides of being lubuntu .. we have the server based installer for when they break ubiquity :D | 22:08 |
| phillw | And, you asked why do we keep it?.... :P | 22:08 |
| tsimonq2 | no no no, I asked why we keep it CD sized | 22:09 |
| tsimonq2 | my point was, the netboot image is there for a reason | 22:09 |
| tsimonq2 | :) | 22:09 |
| phillw | it probably will not be this time. And we will not be using netboot. | 22:09 |
| tsimonq2 | I would be willing to experiment in Y with the netboot ISO | 22:11 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, I heard #1570901 is being fixed tomorrow. | 22:16 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, No idea about #1552539 | 22:16 |
| phillw | flexiondotorg: okies, I'm running our plan 'B' ... the alternate installers to make sure that they're behaving :) | 22:17 |

| flexiondotorg | phillw, On the condition UBuntu MATE testing goes "well". I might be able to smoke test Lubuntu for PowerPC at some point. | 22:17 |
| flexiondotorg | Which image would you prefer be tested if I'm able? | 22:18 |
| phillw | flexiondotorg: full disk has to be always the 1st one. | 22:18 |
| flexiondotorg | phillw, No, I mean alternate or desktop? :-) | 22:18 |
| phillw | flexiondotorg: with the current shit with ubiquity? .. I'd trust the debian (server) installer. | 22:19 |
| flexiondotorg | So alternate then. | 22:19 |
| phillw | if you would... If they clear up desktop, that can be added. The nice thing is that unless some one gets trigger happy, global respins do not touch alternate / server :) | 22:20 |
| phillw | +for ubiquity | 22:21 |
| phillw-virtual | well, that's 16.04 alt 64 bit alive and working :) | 23:05 |
| tsimonq2 | phillw: do you use libvirt or raw KVM/QEMU? | 23:28 |
| phillw | it is libvirt, but it can handle Xen and LXC | 23:30 |
| phillw | KVM is what libvirt is | 23:31 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: https://virt-manager.org/ | 23:32 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page | 23:34 |
| tsimonq2 | so do you use virsh and virt-install? | 23:35 |
| tsimonq2 | or what? | 23:35 |
| phillw | This is why i see little point in adding in virtual-box | 23:35 |
| phillw | i use virt-manager most of the time, but when on phillw.net server for a reboot, we use virsh to shut the VM's down gently and check that they have all closed down gracefully. This is what can take the 10 minutes for a reboot for a new kernel on the master server. I prefer not to have to 'crash' the VM's as there is a risk of corruption. | 23:37 |
| phillw | I use virt-manager from my local machine for installing / deleteing VM's on the remote server. It connects via ssh link, so is quite safe. | 23:38 |
| tsimonq2 | I've been using virsh and virt-install | 23:38 |
| phillw | for the remote server, I need some fine tuning for things like allocated ipV4, MAC, LVM etc... so it is far easier for me to use the virt-manager GUI for these tasks | 23:39 |
| tsimonq2 | phillw: on the planet, look at the description: http://planet.ubuntu.com/ | 23:41 |
