| ax562 | anyone recommend a good virtual machine tutorial for xubuntu? | 01:22 |
|---|---|---|
| ax562 | damn it. cpu doesn't support vt-x :( | 01:42 |
| ali1234 | check bios it might be turned off | 01:49 |
| ax562 | nah I checked intel specs | 01:52 |
| ax562 | not supported | 01:52 |
| ax562 | do you guys usually install xubuntu on vm or just try it from iso? | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | ax562: for testing? | 02:58 |
| ax562 | yes | 02:58 |
| pleia2 | I'll get a link to our QA documentation | 02:59 |
| ax562 | i think that's chapter 5 | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | ax562: http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/qa-testing.html | 02:59 |
| ax562 | i'm actually on it atm | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | oh ok :) | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | "usually" isn't really a thing, some people do it right on bare metal (I do), others do most of their testing in virtualization | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | and there are tests for both Live and installation | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | if you follow the links to the ISO tracker you'll see different scenarios | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | so for today on the yakkety daily build, you have these options: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/360/builds/123628/testcases | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | 3 of them are install tests, one live session, and some post install tasks | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | the live ones are obviously the easiest since they should leave your installed system intact (I've never had a problem, but this is pre-alpha software, disclaimer here)) but we need all of them done, so the install tests are very valuable | 03:03 |
| ax562 | ah ok pleia2 | 03:17 |
| ax562 | well right now im running a vm install of 16.10 on my vm dynamic hdd | 03:17 |
| ax562 | and it's going sloooow | 03:18 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it'll be slow on a vm on a system old enough not to have hardware virt :( | 03:18 |
| pleia2 | you may find bugs that others with faster systems don't encounter though, which is worthwhile | 03:19 |
| ax562 | cool well still trucking ;p | 03:21 |
| ax562 | yakkety is 16.10 right? | 03:40 |
| Unit193 | Aup. | 03:41 |
| ax562 | my vm iso says loading 16.04? | 03:41 |
| Unit193 | That's just plymouth, ignore 'er. | 03:41 |
| ax562 | actually "xubuntu 16.04..." | 03:41 |
| ax562 | ok thanks | 03:41 |
| ax562 | finally finished installing | 03:41 |
| ax562 | ;) | 03:41 |
| ax562 | so far so good :) | 04:47 |
| ax562 | terminal is working great so is firefox | 05:00 |
| ax562 | do I have to add theses ppas | 05:11 |
| ax562 | Shimmer Themes for daily builds of the Shimmer Project’s projects | 05:11 |
| ax562 | Xubuntu Staging for packages and package versions that are being prepared for inclusion in Xubuntu | 05:11 |
| ax562 | Xubuntu daily builds for daily Git and Bzr builds for packages related to Xubuntu and/or Xfce4 | 05:11 |
| flocculant | ax562: no you don't 'have' to add ppa's | 05:16 |
| ax562 | is deb = xdeb in xubuntu universe? | 05:16 |
| flocculant | not if you're talking about .deb's | 05:18 |
| ax562 | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/shimmerproject/daily/ubuntu yakkety main | 05:22 |
| ax562 | the tutorial linked me to add the ppa like this | 05:23 |
| ax562 | but terminal through back error did you mean xdeb | 05:23 |
| flocculant | did it? got a link to that? | 05:23 |
| ax562 | https://launchpad.net/~shimmerproject/+archive/ubuntu/daily | 05:23 |
| ax562 | http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/qa-testing.html | 05:24 |
| ax562 | ^that is what i'm following | 05:24 |
| ax562 | it didn't actually say to add it but it says you will need it | 05:24 |
| flocculant | ax562: you don't have to use those | 05:24 |
| ax562 | then it linked me to the shimmerproject link | 05:24 |
| ax562 | ok cool | 05:24 |
| ax562 | moving on lol | 05:24 |
| ax562 | i need a cig | 05:25 |
| flocculant | using ppa's is more for people who run the dev version as a prod setup | 05:25 |
| ax562 | still learning | 05:26 |
| ax562 | what's a prod setup | 05:26 |
| flocculant | I use yakkety as my normal setup | 05:27 |
| ax562 | kind of like yo0ur daily driver? | 05:27 |
| flocculant | kind of | 05:28 |
| ax562 | hmmm | 05:28 |
| ax562 | I did so much today lmao | 05:28 |
| flocculant | :) | 05:28 |
| ax562 | i've literally ran through 3 os's | 05:29 |
| ax562 | partitions left and right | 05:29 |
| Unit193 | Pretty sure he tried that as a commandline... | 05:39 |
| flocculant | :) | 05:40 |

| tracker2 | hello | 11:46 |
| flocculant | knome: on reflecting while depressed today ;) I still think we should move on and call for nominations | 17:56 |
| flocculant | one way or the other we'll be wanting to do so regardless | 17:57 |
| knome | probably, but the candidates do not know what exactly is waiting for them, so i would wait for at least the first ack from CC | 20:28 |
| knome | again, i can ping the CC to try to speed it up | 20:28 |
| knome | i mean this shouldn't really take long at all.. | 20:28 |
| knome | anyway | 20:32 |
| knome | off to sauna | 20:32 |
| knome | bbl | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | At least there shouldn't be too many things that need team leads this cycle | 21:04 |
| knome | no, and what's the problem with needing team leads? the team leads still continue their work as usual | 21:04 |
| Unit193 | Hiding. >_> | 21:04 |
| Unit193 | :D | 21:04 |
| knome | the only thing that is in flux is the XPL spot/structure, and we haven't fortunately needed the XPL to resolve many disagreements lately... | 21:05 |
| Unit193 | knome: I disagree! | 21:05 |
| knome | but of course you do | 21:05 |
| knome | but we know how to handle that already | 21:05 |
| * knome gets the whip | 21:05 | |
| Unit193 | :3 | 21:06 |
| Unit193 | That deluge issue is fixed, ax562. | 21:57 |
| ax562 | oh cool thanks | 21:58 |
| ax562 | do you know how I can update my iso without downloading a whole new iso? | 21:58 |
| Unit193 | !zsync | 21:58 |
| ubottu | Use zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage | 21:58 |
| ax562 | hell yeah | 22:05 |
| knome | ax562, please remember this is a family-friendly channel... | 22:05 |
| ax562 | that's a beautiful option | 22:05 |
| ax562 | heck yeah :) | 22:05 |
| knome | meh | 22:05 |
| knome | if you need to think how else you can say something, then you shouldn't say it at all :P | 22:06 |
| ax562 | i guess | 22:06 |
| ax562 | i was excited | 22:06 |
| knome | that's not an excuse though... | 22:06 |
| ax562 | lol | 22:07 |
| Unit193 | You can also rsync. | 22:07 |
| ax562 | Unit193 have you tried rsync? | 22:09 |
| Unit193 | I've used both. | 22:09 |
| ax562 | do you prefer 1 over the other? | 22:10 |
| Unit193 | If you're limited on bw, use zsync. | 22:11 |
| knome | rsync for backups, zsync for ISOs | 22:11 |
| ax562 | I was reading it was less efficient | 22:12 |
| ax562 | rsync | 22:12 |
| knome | a friendly tip: don't read everything on everything, you'll end up spending more/all time in reading and trying to optimize rather than get things done (tm) | 22:13 |
| Unit193 | ax562: Try one, try the other, pick which works better for you. Keep in mind of course that some days more changes on the ISO than other days. | 22:14 |
| ax562 | if there is change I should have fetched correct? | 22:15 |
| knome | pick the one of which first letter you want to press more often on the keyboard | 22:15 |
| Unit193 | knome: I like the letter 'x' | 22:17 |
| knome | you can alias either one to xsynz | 22:17 |
| knome | err | 22:17 |
| knome | xsync too | 22:17 |
| pleia2 | woo, we got our first story submission :) | 22:34 |
| knome | indeed | 22:34 |
| ax562 | what\s the best way to check if bug has been reported? | 23:49 |
| knome | ax562, search launchpad. | 23:53 |
| knome | ax562, or with common bugs, you can likely find them in the qa trackers' report pages | 23:54 |
| ax562 | thanks | 23:54 |
