amurraybigon: (qa-regression-testing) QRT is a separate test framework, generally used by the Ubuntu Security Team - https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/qa-regression-testing/+git/qa-regression-testing - I'm not familiar with the dep8 + QRT intersection but I am guessing it is so dep8 tests can reuse the QRT tests00:59

maks_piechotaHi, I'm new in Ubuntu Development. I've found a little bug reported in subiquity that is actually a string modification. My question is if it is installer - how should I build it and test? Shall I modify somehow installer on live CD? Maybe you have some sites with instructions for that to recommend? I would appreciate your help.12:31
rbasakmaks_piechota: mwhudson might be able to help you, but he's in UTC+12 so you may have to wait a while.12:59
dreamcat4having an issue whilst testing my debian package, --force-confold is not being respected13:21
dreamcat4$ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg --force-confold -i teleport_4.0.0-rc.4-42-5_amd64_41633__expires-14.49pm-mon-05-aug-2019.deb13:21
dreamcat4"Installing new version of config file /etc/teleport.yaml ..."13:22
dreamcat4but the whole point of specifying the "--force-confold" flag is so that it doesn't do that !!!!13:23
sahidjamespage, LocutusOfBorg o/ - I updated sphinxcontrib-pecanwsme to 0.10.0 that is required by the ironic project13:27
sahidhttps://salsa.debian.org/sahid-guest/sphinxcontrib-pecanwsme/tree/debian/unstable13:27
sahidif one of you can have a look whn a moment13:27

rbasakdreamcat4: is /etc/teleport.yaml a conffile or is the package using ucf?13:32
LocutusOfBorgsahid, do you want it on Debian, right?13:43
LocutusOfBorgyou can ask zigo, send him a merge request directly on salsa.d.o13:44
LocutusOfBorghe is on OFTC/#debian-devel13:44
sahidLocutusOfBorg: yes then we could just copy the packages in ubuntu i guess13:44
sahidok thanks i will do that13:44
LocutusOfBorgthat will be the best and easiest solution13:46
dreamcat4rbasak: its specified to be a conf file, i checked here:14:07
dreamcat4https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/n1Ml8oUY/14:07
dreamcat4created the package with fpm, its not using ucf14:08
rbasakOh14:09
rbasakYou're not developing Ubuntu itself then?14:09
dreamcat4trying to find a -Dxxxx debug level to get some detailed trace of what is happening. but it's not clear which -D flag i should specify. they dont seem to add anything more relevant to the log output14:09
rbasakThis channel is for development of Ubuntu itself.14:09
rbasakWe don't do fpm here.14:10
dreamcat4so where do i go for my issue ?14:10
rbasakI'm not sure.14:10
rbasakWe understand it's really painful for third parties to make packages outside the distribution that integrate properly. That's why we made snaps.14:10
rbasakMaybe look for fpm community support?14:11
rbasakThat's a community that does exactly what you're doing, right?14:11
rbasakThere's also #ubuntu-packaging, for making packages _for_ Ubuntu.14:11
dreamcat4ok thanks14:11
dreamcat4maybe i should also check the control file too14:11
dreamcat4but it's kindda beyond me why this isn't some bug in dpkg14:12
dreamcat4according to its man page anyhow14:13
rbasakI'm pretty sure that we'd have noticed a bug like that in dpkg by now.]14:13
dreamcat4yeah14:13
rbasakBut if you really think there is one, please file it with full steps to reproduce.14:13
rbasakWithout using fpm or other unsupported stuff.14:13
dreamcat4ok then. thanks for your help here today14:13
dreamcat4bye then14:14
dreamcat4turned out everything was fine. dpkg just was not logging / saying the decision was when it detected the previous version of the config file had not been edited from the default the old config file14:31
dreamcat4i guess i can file a bug / enhancement for that14:32
cjwatsondreamcat4: I don't think it would be a bug, since it's (IMO) clearly documented to behave that way.  Maybe could have clearer logging.15:34
cjwatson(I mean, not a bug in the sense of "incorrect behaviour", though maybe an entry in the bug database.)(15:35
dreamcat4yeah that's what i meant cjwatson - have now filed a request in debian bug tracker for "clearer logging" as you put it15:40
dreamcat4enhancement / whatever. they can ignore it if they want to15:40
cjwatsonSounds reasonable15:43

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1838698 in xserver-xorg-video-intel-hwe-18.04 (Ubuntu) "Cannot boot ISO unless using nomodeset" [Undecided,New]16:26
tjaaltoninfinity: 64bit works, not too worried.. fossfreedom, attach logs, at least dmesg17:35
fossfreedomtjaalton: k ... will boot to live session with nomodeset and attach anything I can find ... unless there is a specific way to collect the most useful logs?17:38
tjaaltonuh17:39
tjaaltonsorry17:39
tjaaltonno use for logs with nomodeset17:39
tjaaltonand with nomodeset you get software emulation, meaning llvmpipe17:40
fossfreedomUmm ... how do I collect logs during the middle of the boot sequence?17:40
tjaaltonyou'd need to install it, then boot without nomodeset and collect logs from the bad boot afterwards17:41
fossfreedomOk will do. Will have to be tomorrow since I am travelling. Thx17:42
mwhudsonmaks_piechota: hi21:13
mwhudsonmaks_piechota: i have this terrible command line for testing changes, one sec21:14
mwhudsongit diff --no-ext-diff --exit-code && git diff --no-ext-diff --exit-code --cached  && sudo ls && git clean -ffdx && snapcraft snap && sudo ~/src/subiquity/scripts/inject-subiquity-snap.sh ~/isos/bionic-live-server-amd64.iso  ~/src/subiquity/subiquity*.snap ~/isos/custom.iso && kvm -m 1024 -boot d -cdrom ~/isos/custom.iso -hda ~/images/root.img21:14
mwhudsonah this is mostly bundled up into ./scripts/test-this-branch.sh21:15
mwhudsoner what's the best way to test a change to ubiquity21:29
mwhudsoni guess i can build it in a ppa, run a live session, add the ppa, upgrade ubiquity from my ppa and then run it?21:31
