lubot<Bitcoinare> Oh dear..lol Maybe I should have reloaded after disconnecting00:03
lubot<Bitcoinare> I've been typing away00:03
wxlwho's the BIOS bug person, @tsimonq2 ?00:41
tsimonq2wxl: Oh, right, ypwong00:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @tsimonq2, and now it's when I say how proud I feel about MY TEAM, because that's what you've been all these years01:43
lubot<VikingRedwolf> but I still want my bloody beer! 😐01:44
lubot<tsimonq2> Heh thanks :)01:44
agaida/me hands VikinRedwolf a Pils: http://www.bier1516.bayern/imagetypes/rex_lightbox/urquell.jpg01:47
wxldumb question, @tsimonq2 but is 18.04 affected by this bug? should we be warning people against hardware testing?04:44
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, You might want to check with ypwong but I think it's been disabled there04:44
wxlalso are phab emails working? did you get notification of the changes i did this morning?04:44
lubot<tsimonq2> Hm, no, didn't get that04:45
wxlso yeah you may want to check into whether mails are failing but http://phab.lubuntu.me/T104:45
tsimonq2Hm ok04:46
wxland give a think/ask around about hardware testing in 18.04, especially with alpha coming up04:47
lubot<tsimonq2> Ok04:47
wxlyes05:24
wxlbug 134780105:32
ubot93Bug 1347801 in Ubuntu Manual Tests "No upgrade option on 'Installation type' screen" [Undecided, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/134780105:32
wxlignore that05:32
wxlhey @tsimonq2 want to talk about that GCI task for upgrading?05:35
tsimonq2wxl: yea sure what's up?05:36
wxllooks like we have four testcases for dealing with upgrades: 2 are for LTS, 2 are not and for each of them there's an upgrade with update-manager and an upgrade with the image e.g. http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/163339/testcases05:36
wxlso i think the task is really, well, upgrading. it doesn't exactly test every single installation possibility, but it seems like that has worked out fine05:37
wxlthe same logic was applied with the creation of the BIOS/UEFI testcases05:37
wxlso you have a problem with me just making this simple?05:38
tsimonq2So what would be the reason for simplifying it?05:38
tsimonq2I get why the BIOS/UEFI tasks are simple05:38
tsimonq2But05:38
wxlbecause that's how the testcases are written XD05:39
tsimonq2Why make this simple too?05:39
tsimonq2hehe05:39
tsimonq2well05:39
tsimonq2I mean if you can give me a good justification for it then JFDI but otherwise what's the use? :)05:39
wxlwell it's to test if the upgrade works correctly. admittedly, tif you, e.g. managed to install with XFS correctly, the upgrade isn't going to change that05:40
tsimonq2Right?05:40
wxlso no need to test every single installation type05:40
wxlbut that's kind of what you had suggested before....05:40
tsimonq2oh05:41
tsimonq2hm05:41
wxlcuz really at that point, we might want to start questioning the validity of those testcases05:41
wxlas written, at least05:41
tsimonq2Well to be clear, we should test amd64 and i386 image and update manager LTS->LTS and Regular->LTS upgrades.05:41
tsimonq2So I mean05:41
tsimonq2I see the use for them05:41
wxlyep05:41
wxlok so we're on the same page then05:42
tsimonq2Are we though?05:42
tsimonq2Because I see the use for them as is ;)05:42
wxli do, too05:42
tsimonq2ok05:42
tsimonq2Then cool05:42
wxlbut what i heard you say was that you wanted the student to do every single type of installation and then do the upgrade on all of them and that's kind of insane05:42
tsimonq2No05:42
tsimonq2Maybe05:42
wxlno :)05:43
tsimonq2Did I? O_o?05:43
tsimonq2(that's what I'm questioning here)05:43
wxlthat's what i thought i read but i dunno :)05:43
tsimonq2Like I'm a fan of hard labor and all but like05:43
tsimonq2Don't think I said that :)05:43
tsimonq2anyways05:43
tsimonq2wxl: two more things I've been thinking about real quick05:43
wxlk05:43
tsimonq2wxl: Once everybody gets back from break and all, wanna look into converting our seeds (at least for Bionic) to Git?05:44
tsimonq2It's possible, I **THINK**05:44
tsimonq2But we'd be doing the grunt work if not05:44
wxlthat might be cool05:44
tsimonq2I'd also like a +1 from gilir before actually doing it, but like, just a thought :)05:45
wxlas long as there isn't some weird bzr-only hook the canonical infrastructure has :/05:45
tsimonq2Because Bazaar is aaaaaaaaancient05:45
wxlbzr is alright but i'm happier with git05:45
wxlhere was the confusing comment https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/12/25/%23ubuntu-google.html#t01:3005:46
tsimonq2Well do an apt source lubuntu-meta real quick and look at that fugly update.cfg real quick05:46
tsimonq2So it might be05:46
tsimonq2wxl: oh? don't see how that's confusing :)05:47
wxlwhat i heard was "they need to do every installation type and try to upgrade each of them"05:47
wxland yes i do see a bzr+ssh there05:47
tsimonq2wxl: no but look at the structure of it05:48
tsimonq2bionic/bzr05:48
tsimonq2so hmm05:48
tsimonq2dunno05:48
wxlright that too05:48
tsimonq2wxl: Anyways, that's not what I meant05:48
wxland check out update05:48
wxlexec germinate-update-metapackage --bzr05:48
tsimonq2ohhhhhhhh05:48
tsimonq2so we CAN use Git05:48
tsimonq2coooooooooool05:49
wxlmaybe05:49
wxlhttp://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/en/man1/germinate-update-metapackage.1.html05:49
tsimonq2wxl: well I mean I'd like an ack from the likes of slangasek/infinity05:49
tsimonq2yeah ik I just checked there, I see git XD05:49
tsimonq2wxl: I'll play around it locally and I'll get an ACK/NACK once I know it's possible05:50
wxlthe whole guessing from the uri is kind of interesting05:50
tsimonq2(from all parties)05:50
tsimonq2oh?05:50
wxlinteresting, like annoying05:50
wxlThe version control system to use is guessed from05:50
wxl           the seed_base URL defined in the configuration file, trying git05:50
wxl           then bzr if the URL is ambiguous.05:50
wxl..although that latter clause is nice05:50
wxlif it can't be guess from the uri, it tries git first05:50
tsimonq2Actually, let me try this now...05:50
wxlIt may also05:51
wxl     have a dist/vcs or dist/bzr section which can override the seed_base and05:51
tsimonq2right05:51
wxl     seed_dist values from the dist section if the --vcs or --bzr option05:51
wxl     respectively is given.05:51
wxl^^ update.cfg05:51
wxlso you could do [bionic/vcs]05:52
tsimonq2right05:53
wxlthen s/bzr/git/ and then you have to add the +git in there cuz ugh launchpad05:53
tsimonq2right05:54
tsimonq2hm05:54
wxlthis man page is a wee confusing05:54
tsimonq2wxl: Made the change locally with https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/lubuntu.bionic (got it that way with git-remote-bzr <3), let's see if it crashes and burns05:54
wxlapparently seeds is mandatory in distribution sections, but there's not one in the dist/vcs section05:54
wxlso how did that no-follow-recommends test go?05:55
tsimonq2There was literally little to no difference at all05:55
tsimonq2So I think it went well :)05:56
wxldid you record the actual difference with real numbers? if not, you might want to do that :)05:56
tsimonq2Might be a good idea ;)05:56
wxlyou think? :)05:57
tsimonq2k so git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/lubuntu.bionic crashed and burned but it was complaining about ssh stuff, bleh,05:57
tsimonq2I'll try https://git.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ in there05:57
tsimonq2er05:58
tsimonq2I did a thing05:58
tsimonq2brb05:58
wxlum06:01
wxldownload links no existy http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/163340/downloads06:01
tsimonq2O_o?06:07
tsimonq2wxl: ohhhh I see why it's crashing and burning06:11
tsimonq2The Git autodetection sucks XD06:11
wxltoldya06:12
wxlbut if it fails, it should try git first06:12
tsimonq2right...06:14
tsimonq2hmm06:14
wxlhow's that? https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5709752640208896/preview/06:15
tsimonq2wxl: lgtm06:15
tsimonq2wxl: OH, one more thing I want to talk to you about, while this is going06:16
tsimonq2wxl: Do you have a Pi?06:16
wxl3 of them XD06:16
tsimonq2wxl: What model/version?06:16
wxlone of each of the 3 :)06:16
tsimonq2wxl: How would you feel about Raspberry Pi images for Lubuntu Next being on official infra? ;)06:17
tsimonq2Shouldn't be too hard to figure out06:17
wxli guess we tried this before or something like it and it didn't work out too well06:17
tsimonq2But I know Kylin and Budgie were wanting to do it06:17
tsimonq2wxl: oh?06:17
tsimonq2do tell06:17
wxlmaybe that's because it was the older chip06:17
tsimonq2armhf vs arm64?06:18
wxli'm not sure... i just know there are armhf testcases laying around from the He Who Shall Not Be Named days06:18
tsimonq2oh06:18
tsimonq2We did a Nexus thing I think06:18
wxlhm yeah i dunno06:18
tsimonq2wxl: But I know Ubuntu Server has official daily Pi images06:19
tsimonq2Wanna piggyback? :)06:19
wxlyeah but huh06:19
wxlhttps://ubuntu-pi-flavour-maker.org/06:19
tsimonq2RIght06:20
wxli notice he's got core and server for pi 2 up there and they have "official" support06:20
tsimonq2right06:20
wxlso it seems that there may be some bleedover both ways06:20
tsimonq2Yeah, dunno how far he got06:20
wxli'd definitely want to hook martin in06:20
tsimonq2But I remember discussing with him about this at one point, we were thinking this was an 18.10 thing06:20
tsimonq2But eh06:20
wxlbut yes i'm into it06:20
tsimonq2Ok cooool06:20
wxlafaik 2/3 are both armv7 so that should be good06:21
wxl3 is armv806:22
tsimonq2wxl: well look at the archive06:22
wxlactually there was a late version of 2 which was, too06:22
tsimonq2We have arm64 and armhf06:22
tsimonq2iirc arm64 is Pi306:22
wxldon't think so06:22
tsimonq2A good way to test this is to grab Debian06:22
tsimonq2Throw it on there :)06:22
tsimonq2Hmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I read wrong then wxl06:23
tsimonq2idk06:23
tsimonq2:)06:23
wxlthere are arm chips that are server based that are 6406:23
wxlhttps://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort#Supported_devices06:23
wxloh maybe armv8 IS 6406:23
wxlhm06:23
wxloh it is :)06:24
tsimonq2OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH06:24
tsimonq2I FIGURED THIS OUT06:25
tsimonq2* Cloning branch bionic of git://git.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/lubuntu/06:25
tsimonq2OHHHHHHHHH06:25
tsimonq2So06:25
tsimonq2I know what I gotta do now06:25
wxlno ssh eh?06:25
tsimonq2Nah nah nah that's irrelevant06:25
tsimonq2wxl: We can just have different Git branches06:25
tsimonq2No more separate repos06:25
tsimonq2Just new Git branch06:25
tsimonq2:D06:25
wxlah06:25
tsimonq2OH so I know EXACTLY what to do now06:26
tsimonq2Peeeeerrrrrffffffeeeeeccccctttttttt06:26
wxlhttps://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi306:26
tsimonq2wxl: "The Raspberry Pi 3 is a version of the RaspberryPi which was released in February 2016. It contains a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU and hence is the first version of the RaspberryPi to support the arm64 architecture."06:27
tsimonq2So I *was* right06:27
tsimonq2wxl: YESSS IT WORKS06:33
tsimonq2https://git.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/lubuntu06:33
lubot<tsimonq2> @julienlavergne Since having our seed in Git seems to work fine with minimal config tweaks, would you be OK with us deprecating usage of the Bazaar branch once I get an ack from the Release Team?06:38
wxlgood job, @tsimonq2. re: pi, check that page and you'll see all sorts of issues specifically related to the particular hardware on the pi, i.e. the arm64 chip ain't the only thing.06:44
tsimonq2wxl: hm ok06:45
tsimonq2wxl: and thanks06:45
wxlhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/984043/unable-to-make-changes-in-bios-after-17-10-installation06:48
tsimonq2wxl: Link that to the guy in #ubuntu-devel but I don't think it's a good solution :/06:48
wxlhe'll see it06:48
tsimonq2ok06:48
wxli've seen this previously; ye ole update the kernel and all is well06:49
wxli DON'T think that will fix all devices from what i can tell, but some06:49
wxlneat https://github.com/teejee2008/ukuu06:49
tsimonq2wxl: And btw if you hate that the manual tests are in Bazaar, ask flocculant about a Git conversion. git-remote-bzr works well :)06:49
tsimonq2heh right06:49
wxlhowever, re: ukuu as a solution for the average user, from the MainlineBuilds page: "These kernels are not supported and are not appropriate for production use. "06:53
wxlanyways bed calls06:54
tsimonq2wxl: Ok bai, have fun :)06:54
