wxlso i want to build the latest kpmcore from upstream git master… what's the best way to do that exactly?00:22
wxli mean i could just do it but ultimately i'd like a packaged version00:26
wxlbut i'm not sure exactly how to trick e.g. watch into behaving correctly00:26

kc2bezwxl: What is in the watch file now for kpmcore? I haven't even glanced.01:30
wxlkc2bez: presumedly something that's looking for a released version XD01:30
kc2bezMaybe, it is more likely tied to the changelog version though.01:31
wxlhm01:31
wxlbut still how would it know which git commit to grab?01:32
wxlsorry i've never had to deal with anything but released cersions01:32
kc2beztypically me neither but I think you can add a +gitCOMMIT or +gitDATE or something to the version.01:33
wxlyou know where that's documented?01:33
kc2bezno!01:33
wxl:/01:33
kc2bezmaybe I can find an example01:33
wxloh hm https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/extras/kpmcore/blob/debian/4.0.1-2/debian/watch01:34
wxlso i'd have to start by swapping that over to github01:35
kc2bezRaman did it here for globalkeys https://phab.lubuntu.me/source/lxqt-globalkeys/browse/ubuntu%252Ffocal/debian/changelog$3801:35
wxllooks like just with a version01:35
wxlstrange01:36
wxli mean it seems to be date based but how would it know which commit from that date?01:36
wxlnon-determinism yay01:36
kc2bezNot sure, beyond my current knowledge.01:37
kc2bezWas hoping to help though.01:37
wxlyou got me a little closer01:37
kc2bezsame deal here it looks like https://salsa.debian.org/debian/screenfetch/blob/debian/sid/debian/changelog#L2001:40
kc2bezIf I read the following properly you can download the tar and run uupdate https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/update.en.html#newupstream01:49
kc2bezless automation there though01:50

guivercfirst i386 install 18.04.4; gui hasn't appeared.. 02:35
lubot<kc2bez> oof02:35
guivercps doesn't see lightdm  (service -status-all shows "-")02:36
* kc2bez searches for a USB drive02:37
guivercmaybe my machine specific; i see a systemd-journald file /var/log/journal... corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing... I may need to verify my chosen partition... I'll try re-install to a different drive..02:39
kc2bezI will give it a go too. I think that the two of us might be the only ones with 32 bit hardware on the team. 02:40
guiverc`sudo service lightdm start` would cause term to switch to gui, but nothing again.. back to term and service wasn't running...   I'll use different drive..02:40
guivercby switch to gui I didn't mean gui, switch to (blank with cursor as if starting gui)... never saw the gui02:41
guiverckc2bez, a re-install on different drive worked !!!  03:05
guivercI'll have to badblocks the other drive before I confirm hardware is an issue, but i have success (it was faster installing.. same box, just different drive..)  I'll move to other tests for now..03:06
kc2bezOk sounds good. I am almost through an install as well. 03:10
wxlgood call, @kc2bez. that''s what i needed. now if i can get i tot work correctly04:10
wxlhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/c6xzqVDHm5/04:11
wxldh $@ --with pkgkde_symbolshelper04:13
wxlharumph04:13
lubot<tsimonq2> That's because you explicitly list that path in an install file and it's no longer being produced so it can't be installed04:14
lubot<tsimonq2> Grep all the install files for that path and remove it04:14
wxlthat's what i wass thinking 04:14
wxlhey @tsimonq2 while you're here do you know anywhere that there's policy for versioning git snapshots?04:15
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl [<wxl> hey @tsimonq2 while you're here do you know anywhere that there's policy f …], There's unspoken policy04:16
wxlfigured as such04:16
lubot<tsimonq2> last.tagged.version+gitYYYYMMDD-0ubuntu104:16
wxl@tsimonq2: why do i so often see gitDATE rather than gitHASH?04:16
lubot<tsimonq2> I personally always do gitDATE to make sure I don't accidentally get a lower version number04:17
lubot<tsimonq2> I think that's gbp though04:17
wxlhm04:17
wxloh what the heck04:24
wxldpkg-source: error: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but Maintainer: does not have Ubuntu address04:24
wxli mean there's an obvious fix but that seems like a hack04:25
wxli mean this is supposedly our packaging. we've had ubuntu changes before04:25
wxlwell i guess not of 404:26
wxlgood lord 228 build machines on the farm and 206 are disabled05:25
wxlwhat is up with THAT?05:25
wxlomg there is *one* amd64 builder jeeez05:40
guivercI'm assuming this is expected; clicking RELEASE NOTES results in 18.04.3 being displayed06:12

lubot<kc2bez> @guiverc [<guiverc> :(  I see issues by leok (keyboard layout, haven't experienced it, but …], reading the report, 20.04 is mentioned yet it seems to be filed under 18.04.409:46
guivercYes the 20.04 ref grabbed me; i assumed it was a problem that first occurred with newer kernels (thus 20.04 now appearing in later 18.04 stack), but I didn't read that far... I had my own i386 fails at the time..  (really minor though; about to file another when I'm returned to 'live'; not blockers in my mind at all)09:57
lubot<kc2bez> Good to know, thanks guiverc09:58
kc2bezguiverc: It looks like we have an issue with auto resizing on 32 bit based on your reports.12:19
guivercit's all on the one box.. maybe it's something weird on that box (I do hate that era hp's BIOS config)12:20
guiverchow many x86 users will use auto-resize anyway... yeah it's strange i had issues with that two rather different ways too12:21
kc2bezI can do a test too, it may be a bit later today.12:22
guiverc:)  thanks... 12:22
kc2bezI anticipate a respin though12:23

guivercI've been around news for years; but not lubuntu for that long12:25
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> I was mentioned wxl ?14:50
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> Also, sorry @HMollerCl I said I would test the script. But I am having some issues with internet. can't download the latest iso to check in it. I will do the test as soon as I have good internet.14:52
lubot<HMollerCl> @The_LoudSpeaker [Also, sorry @HMollerCl I said I would test the script. But I am having some issu …], You don't need the latest iso15:14
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> I know. But the install in my vm is a bit messed up. I have to do a reinstall. And I need a iso to do that.15:15
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> Okay. I just managed to get today's iso. … There was something to check related to replacing partition during installation na? @wxl23 @kc2bez16:26
wxli think you're making stuff up16:28
wxlthere was a mention about bionic auto-resize on a 32 bit, but there's a respin pending we think16:28
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @wxl [<wxl> i think you're making stuff up], 🙄 I remember reading something similar here or on discourse. But lite now.16:29
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> Also, will zfs be supported in focal?16:30
wxlwell erase disk with an existing partition fails in focal but that's known16:30
lubot<HMollerCl> wxl: which is teh easiest way to make a broadcom work?16:30
wxlwell zfs ISN'T supported in ubuntu so no (the option is totally experimental)16:30
wxl@HMollerCl depends on which one. some are really easy and some are a total pain.16:30
wxl!b4316:30
ubot93Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx16:30
wxl^ that's helpful16:31
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @wxl [<wxl> well erase disk with an existing partition fails in focal but that's known], Ouch. Should have said just a min ago. I started with manual partitioning and a btrfs partition. Nvm will check on next install.16:31
wxlthis too @HMollerCl https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers16:31
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @wxl [<wxl> well zfs ISN'T supported in ubuntu so no (the option is totally experiment …], Will we be also giving that option? For those who want to experiment?16:31
wxlno need to check. it's a known failure and we have a pending fix16:31
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ubot93 [<ubot93> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/comm …], This worked with me.16:32

lubot<HMollerCl> thanks wxl16:35
lubot<HMollerCl> I thought it was easier now...16:35
wxlfor some cards it's very easy16:37
wxlfor others, no.16:37
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @wxl [<wxl> for others, no.], +116:41
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @HMollerCl any prerequisites for the script? Do I have to have something Installed?16:41
lubot<kc2bez> @wxl [<wxl> there was a mention about bionic auto-resize on a 32 bit, but there's a re …], That's only my guess at this point. Other than the bug I referenced I don't have anything to base it on.16:43
lubot<HMollerCl> @The_LoudSpeaker [@HMollerCl any prerequisites for the script? Do I have to have something Install …], Python and qt5, which you should already have16:44
lubot<HMollerCl> Python316:45
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @HMollerCl [Python and qt5, which you should already have], K. Will test and give my comments later.16:45
wxlthere is only python3 :)16:46
lubot<teward001> @wxl [<wxl> there is only python3 :)], The Python 2 is dead, there is only the Python 3.  All Hail the Python!  *shot*16:48
wxlre that issue with the erase disk/focal problem i have a git master kpmcore and a git master cala rebuilt against it in ppa:wxl/testy-testy 17:21
wxlwell cala is building17:21
wxlsupposedly the latest kpmcore has a potential fix17:21
lubot<franksmcb> @wxl [<wxl> there was a mention about bionic auto-resize on a 32 bit, but there's a re …], I can confirm that it effects Ubuntu MATE as well on 32bit18:00

lubot<franksmcb> No worries Dan. I'm lugging around the crusty old laptop today for just this reason. :)18:16
kc2bez@franksmcb Would you be willing to run that same test on a 18.04.3 image?18:34
lubot<franksmcb> @kc2bez [<kc2bez> @franksmcb Would you be willing to run that same test on a 18.04.3 imag …], I can. That system did run those iso tests previously and was successful. Give me a few18:37
kc2bezThanks Bill, appreciate it.18:39
lubot<franksmcb> 18.4.3 point release installs correctly using auto-resize. … Ran SMART tests on disk and it shows OK.19:05
lubot<franksmcb> Slow going on the installs :P19:05
kc2bezThanks for running that.19:05
kc2bezI know, I ran a couple of spot checks last night.19:06
kc2bezIf you could update the bug with that info that would be cool @franksmcb19:06
lubot<franksmcb> Done. Tis frustrating that I don't have logs for the error19:07
wxllooks like the kpmcore update is a bust :(19:10
kc2bez:(19:11
kc2bezSorry wxl19:11
wxl@franksmcb you could use apport-collect, but you'd need to go reproduce the problem and then do it ideally19:13
wxlpresumedly the "lock" you refer to is simply in ubiquity rather than the whole system19:13

wxl@franksmcb wow jeez that sucks20:24
lubot<franksmcb> It's odd and frustrating20:24
wxlwell it's been escalated in #ubuntu-release, so we'll see20:25
lubot<franksmcb> I've gotten a comment on the bug that someone was able to reproduce it22:34
wxlyeah they're working on it in #ubuntu-release22:34
