lubot<tsimonq2> We've been considering a 17.10 respin anyways due to some UEFI installation issues, but regardless, keep on the lookout if you're installing a Lenovo laptop.00:35
tsimonq2Better.00:35

Kamilion"From our investigation with ODMs, the problem is due to the SPI flash has become write protected."05:07
wxl[m]Kamilion: did you see the current theories on why it fails? Not because of the module but because of the chips not following specs well.14:40
wxlwhat kind of weird update is this, @VikingRedwolf ??? https://mastodon.technology/@lubuntu/9920725653883523815:53
wxlwhile you're fixing that you can reply to that dude giving him a link to the bug. it may not affect him.15:53
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, They didn't request it was halted... Steve just warned us.16:19
lubot<tsimonq2> It's a warning, not a hard forbiddence16:20
wxl@tsimonq2: huh?16:21
wxloh ic now16:23
wxli guess the question is misguided16:24
wxlit doesn't affect 17.0416:24
wxland there's no spinning of 17.1016:24
wxlthe issue is, however, that ubuntu did completely remove any easy link to the 17.10 download16:24
wxl@tsimonq2: it's worse, actually. they've removed any links at all frmo cdimage.u.c16:32
wxlsome of the mirrors still have it but that's about it16:32
wxlerrr but it's still on releases.u.c16:33
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, OH I didn't know that.17:13
wxlyup17:13
lubot<VikingRedwolf> what the hell?17:14
lubot<VikingRedwolf> have you touched the blog for anything?17:14
wxlin fact someone just dropped this in another channel https://www.cyberciti.biz/linux-news/ubuntu-17-10-no-longer-available-for-download-due-to-lenovo-bios-getting-corrupted/17:14
lubot<tsimonq2> @VikingRedwolf, No17:14
wxlntoe too that it isn't ONLY lenovo17:14
wxlno, @VikingRedwolf17:14
lubot<tsimonq2> I've tweeted though17:14
lubot<VikingRedwolf> not connected. weird. every change to the site gets an instant replica in the Mastodon place17:15
wxli'm not sure where i first saw that bug but i've been following it closely17:15
lubot<VikingRedwolf> unless you deactivate the checkbox on the right ;)17:15
wxlFIX IT @VIKINGREDWOLF17:15
wxlso far only two errant changes17:16
lubot<VikingRedwolf> naaah17:16
wxlthey were 2 hours ago17:16
lubot<VikingRedwolf> .__.17:16
wxldon't make me check the logs for who messed up :)17:16
lubot<VikingRedwolf> O_O17:16
lubot<VikingRedwolf> oh, it seems it was me :$17:17
wxlhm17:17
wxlso17:17
wxlsurprised17:17
lubot<VikingRedwolf> o_____o17:17
lubot<VikingRedwolf> you should be. it's Simon who usually do strange things17:18
lubot<VikingRedwolf> *runs*17:18
wxlhttps://llwproductions.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/angry-face-husky.jpg17:18
wxltrue though17:19
wxlexample: just found this pic of simon http://cdn.foodbeast.com.s3.amazonaws.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dog-banana-costume.jpg17:19
wxl(honestly, that almost made me spit up my tea. that face omg)17:19
lubot<tsimonq2> @VikingRedwolf Respond to the tweet as LubuntuOfficial saying the images have officially been taken down.17:21
lubot<tsimonq2> Please. :)17:21
wxls/tweet/toot/17:21
lubot<tsimonq2> No17:21
lubot<tsimonq2> Both17:21
lubot<tsimonq2> Please17:21
wxlwell i didn't see no tweet17:21
wxlbut i did see a toot17:21
lubot<VikingRedwolf> yup17:21
wxlbut technically that's only for ubuntu17:21
wxlnot sure if we should follow suit?17:21
wxli think at least issuing a stern warning would be good17:22
lubot<tsimonq2> I already tweeted17:22
lubot<tsimonq2> Two times last night17:22
wxli mean on our downloads page(s)17:22
lubot<tsimonq2> wxl: Read the channel topic here XD17:22
lubot<tsimonq2> Oh17:22
lubot<tsimonq2> Yeah, follow suit17:22
wxlthe problem is not the people that know how to look for information.. it's the ones that just point and click :)17:23
wxlso @VikingREdwolf that's on your todo list17:23
wxli got a testcase to write today. we agreed on a solution17:23
wxl(re: UEFI testcases)17:23
lubot<VikingRedwolf> huh?17:24
wxlalso @VikingRedwolf if you could delete those errant toots, that would be good too17:24
wxl@VikingRedwolf, here's your todo list:17:24
wxl1. change any download pages we have to match what ubuntu did to theirs with 17.10 https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop17:24
wxl2. delete these toots https://mastodon.technology/@lubuntu/99207261937112809 https://mastodon.technology/@lubuntu/9920725653883523817:25
wxl3. reply to this toot saying that downloads have been obfuscated https://mastodon.rocks/@miwilc/9920728444715450417:25
wxl@tsimonq2: where's that tweet?17:26
lubot<tsimonq2> Read it. :l17:26
lubot<tsimonq2> *:)17:26
wxl@tsimonq2: also you should include an explicit mention of it in the release notes with a link to the longer description in the ubuntu release notes17:26
wxli17:26
wxlsee it17:26
lubot<VikingRedwolf> toots erased17:26
wxldon't17:26
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, I will man, but I'm at school17:27
wxlok17:27
wxl4. reply to whatever tweet @tsimonq2 has whenever he decides to link us to it17:27
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I'll add a "discouragement" message as well17:27
wxlyes i think that would be wise17:28
lubot<VikingRedwolf> also, please Simon, can you tell if the "mobile bug" looks fine now? the menu on top o f the content, I mean17:29
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, Seriously?17:29

tsimonq2It's linked there.17:30
wxlah so @VikingRedwolf what you need to do is reply to that tweet with the new info17:30
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, As LubuntuOfficial, right17:31
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @wxl, I'm still doing the WARNING thing .__.17:31
wxlyou have all the time in the world @VikingRedwolf17:31
wxl(not really)17:32

lubot<VikingRedwolf> (Document) http://vps.tsimonq2.net:9090//file_3085.mp417:34
wxli'm going to un-beginner task the lubuntu qa task17:34
wxlstudents can only do 2 beginner tasks17:35
wxli think that's why we're not getting any of them done17:35
lubot<tsimonq2> @VikingRedwolf, Lol17:35
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, OK, and create a task for testing the 17.10 ISOs so by the time the task is approved, it's time17:35
wxlbut how can we test the fix, @tsimonq2 ?17:36
wxlunless you have the hardware17:37
wxland even then you run the risk of bricking17:37
wxlmy guess is they'll only smoketest and call it good17:37
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, Well it will also pull in literally every update released to Artful since then.17:37
lubot<tsimonq2> So we need general testing yoom17:37
wxlnot necessarily17:38
wxlit *could*17:38
lubot<tsimonq2> Urgh17:38
lubot<tsimonq2> *too17:38
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, Then why do we test the final images if we test the final beta images? :P17:38
lubot<VikingRedwolf> http://lubuntu.me/downloads/17:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I can also add a skull icon and a symbol of BIOHAZARD  o___o17:41
wxloh i like that17:42
lubot<VikingRedwolf> the biohazard symbol? O_o17:42
wxlunicode is always justified :)17:43
lubot<VikingRedwolf> XD17:43
wxlMAYBE BOTH17:43
wxlwhat about the like electrocution warning?17:43
lubot<VikingRedwolf> ๐Ÿบ <- best emoji ever17:43
wxldon't use that one17:44
wxlhttps://emojipedia.org/high-voltage-sign/17:44

lubot<VikingRedwolf> you could reply the toot though17:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> you are the mastodon guy!17:45
wxlno you will17:45
wxlyou're already logged in17:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> smsmshmm17:45
wxlTOO LATE I CALLED IT YOU"RE IT NO TAG BACKS LOVE YOU BYE17:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> O__O17:45
wxlactually i'm late for work, so no luck anyways XD17:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> you'll get skinny17:46
wxli wish..17:46
wxlseriously, bai17:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> o/17:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @wxl, eeewww17:47
wxl@tsimonq2: i'm sure you saw this but:18:16
wxl0954 < slangasek:#ubuntu-release> wxl: also, investigation is still in progress of a runtime recovery18:17
wxl                                  of the issue.  If we get one, then there's no need to respin the18:17
wxl                                  images after all18:17
wxlbut if you are right that we will need full release testing if that doesn't happen18:17
wxl@VikingRedwolf is your list done? :)18:17
lubot<VikingRedwolf> aye18:18
wxlgood boy18:18
lubot<VikingRedwolf> toss me beer!18:18
wxlactualy i can't yet18:19
wxlthere's still the front page18:19
lubot<VikingRedwolf> that'll look ugly if I use the same warning code18:20
wxlmaybe just disable that section temporarily?18:20
lubot<VikingRedwolf> anyways, the frontpage leads you to the downloads, and the message18:20
wxlexcept for what's under that link18:21
wxlbottom half of https://share.riseup.net/#QOei8uNoscs4Fx7gTdVFbw18:22
wxli'm suggesting to disable that particular section18:22
wxlleave the download link at the top18:22
wxlfor that matter, i think it might be best not to litter the front page with download links at all, no?18:22
Kamilion*perk via highlight*18:35
Kamilionwxl: doesn't suprise me, gigadevice has been known to be weird in the past.18:36
Kamilionhttps://lwn.net/Articles/741913/18:38
Kamilioni'm amused at the fourth comment18:38
wxlyeah it's really not a lenovo issue. it just so happens that they seem to use a lot of the bad chips :)18:39
wxlKamilion: it's kind of like the time i happened to have a motherboard from a manufacturer that was afflicted by the capacitor plague18:45
wxlat least it didn't catch fire XD18:45
wxlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague#/media/File:Brand_auf_Platine.jpg18:45
wxlit was surprisingly usable for as many capitors were bulging on it18:46
Kamilionwell, yeah, the capacitance was only off by a little until they went boom18:46
Kamilionit was the possibility of a sudden venting that would cause problems and schmoo all over18:46
Kamilionnasty brown/black tar and paper tatters18:47
Kamilionthankfully, not as hard to clean up as a burst battery, like on amigas and various arcade machines18:47
Kamilionthat shit's actually acidic and will eat away at the traces18:47
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, I doubt we'll be able to avoid a respin.19:36
lubot<tsimonq2> And wxl, this was exactly my point: slangasek> wxl: the images will have to be built with all the SRUs since release; we should plan for full release testing19:38
wxl@tsimonq2: "doubt" is no certainty20:17
wxl@tsimonq2: in other news be prepared to let's encrypt all of lubuntu.me next month https://letsencrypt.org/2017/07/06/wildcard-certificates-coming-jan-2018.html20:18
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, That's your task. ๐Ÿ˜‰20:26
lubot<tsimonq2> Unless you teach me how!20:26
wxli've never done it before and besides you run phab so there :รพ20:27
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @wxl, no way!20:39
lubot<VikingRedwolf> :D20:39
wxl@VikingRedwolf: whey20:40
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I did with my own server20:40
lubot<VikingRedwolf> but I must admit that ubuntu servers are easier to configure20:40
wxlwhat are you using on your server??20:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> letsencrypt20:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> ubuntu server 16.0420:41
wxluh20:41
wxloh20:41
wxlnow i get it :)20:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> :)20:41
wxlwell i think @tsimonq2's machinery is ubuntu too20:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> look at this: https://certbot.eff.org/20:42
lubot<VikingRedwolf> easy steps20:42
wxlthen where is it hard?20:42
wxlum20:42
wxls/hard/difficult/20:42
lubot<VikingRedwolf> it is not with certbot20:42
* wxl glowers at @VikingRedwolf20:42
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I could do it, and remember... I'm blonde!20:42
lubot<VikingRedwolf> buuuut I f*cked it up a couple times20:43
lubot<VikingRedwolf> question: is everything in the same server / host?20:44
* agaida think: certs are boring, lets_encrypt is boring and wildcard certs take away all the fun of being a nerd ...20:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> are wildcards already supported?20:45
agaidano - not yet20:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> and can certbot / letsencrypt create certificates across hosts?20:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I don't think so, so our Phab instance might not be https20:46
agaidawhy - use a standard cert in that case - wildcard certs may be convinient but ...20:47
redwolfstandard cert? paid ones?20:47
agaidaaka register phab.domain.tld with exactly that domain to the machine  - thats possible20:48
redwolfthe domain is in Gandi, so we could buy one for all sub-sites20:48
redwolfbut I don't think certbot can do that20:48
redwolfor, more likely I have no idea how to do that20:48
redwolfwxl: https://certbot.eff.org/#ubuntuxenial-apache20:49
agaidaredwolf: i have letsencrypt certs for misc subdomains on different machines - like on dev-host: https://pb.5id.eu/3wcW20:51
redwolfreally? nice! but that's beyond my skills :(20:52
agaidaand on our normal webserver https://pb.5id.eu/form/20:53
agaidathats easy - the certs are bound to the machine20:53
agaidain combination with the (sub).domain.tld - so the mechanism is easy20:54
redwolfI though the script literally looked for folders in the server20:55
agaidai issue a certificate from a certain machine - letsencrypt resolve the issued domain/subdomain and deliver the cert exactly to this machine20:55
agaidadone20:55
agaidayou might notice that i use right now the standalone certbot with a start and a stop hook20:56
agaidathat means - $webserver is terminated, certbot took over and provide port 80 and receive the possible certs and updates - and start the $webserver with the new certs20:58
agaidaold script - reason was the old nginx that can't do this on the fly20:59
agaidabut the 10s all three days don't hurt, so i leave it that way20:59
agaidajust lazy20:59
