seb128-1 from me to rls nominate this one but a nice target of opportunity to maybe include the fix in a SRU when we do one13:36
WimpressWho can determine if #1838152 is something we can backport to Bionic?13:36
seb128Tre_vinho probably but he's off until eow13:36

WimpressOh my gosh13:50
hellsworth:)13:50
seb128lot of things blocked on the icu transition13:51
luna_seb128: it is, testing in a VM atm :) 13:51
WimpressI was just mentally doing the reverse depends, and got to icu :-)13:51
seb128there aren't lot of actions needed13:51
WimpressYeah.13:51
seb128the suitesparse/armhf build issue might need investigating13:52
WimpressAnything is there we do want to focus on?13:52
seb128still libreoffice/armhf flakyness and retries, that's usual13:52
seb128otherwise no work needed atm from what I can tell13:52
WimpressAny way we can set an approved list of auto retry for packages on arm* ?13:53
seb128what do you mean?13:53
WimpressWell, we know LO sometimes just needs a prod to rebuild.13:54
kenvandineoften13:54
hellsworthyes we rebuilt yesterday...13:54
seb128I wonder if we should simply stop trying libreoffice/armhf autopkgtests13:54
hellsworthi guess millionth time is the charm13:54
WimpressCan we automate a retry on LO and other packages where a retry often resolves the issue.13:54
seb128they DoS the infra and delay things often by weeks13:54
seb128but probably not a discussion to have now as a team meeting adhock13:55
hellsworthseb128: are you proposing that we disable the armhf LO tests all together?13:55
hellsworthright..13:55
seb128no, the build is happening once13:55
seb128autopkgtests are triggered by random uploads13:55
WimpressOK, something for a team discussion then.13:56
seb128it's annoying to have e.g gstreamer blocked for a week because the armhf tests queue has days of backlogs and then you get the armhf libreoffice test failing after a day13:56
Wimpress#topic AOB13:56

seb128and then the retry kick you another 3 days down the road waiting13:56
kenvandineis arm64 more reliable?13:57
LaneyFTBFS report13:57
hellsworthi totally hear you seb128 13:57
WimpressI bet13:57
Laneydo we need to assign some items from that?13:57
hellsworthi'd say that lately arm64 has certainly been more reliable13:57
Laneyor is it already happening ok?13:57
seb128I handled 11 or the 1813:57
seb1283 are waiting for Debian uploads13:57
hellsworthi need more discussion with you folks to get a clearer picture of what i need to do there13:58
seb128so it's sort of hanlded13:58
seb128I will ping/card people about the remaining ones if needed13:58
Wimpresshellsworth: duly noted13:58

marcustomlinsonthanks14:06
marcustomlinsonhellsworth: did autopkgtests pass in your PPA then fail in archive?14:06
hellsworthyes14:06
luna_seb128: Wimpress: http://imgur.com/a/jgdEPIs14:06
hellsworthmarcustomlinson: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/request.cgi?release=groovy&arch=armhf&package=libreoffice&ppa=hellsworth/libreoffice1&trigger=libreoffice/1:6.4.5-0ubuntu1 is the armhf test that passed in my ppa14:07
Wimpressluna_: #winning14:07
LaneyThere is the entire spectrum of options available before you decide to disable the tests on armhf entirely14:07
Laneye.g. run any particular subset of them14:07
marcustomlinsonhellsworth: ah. well you can disable certain tests14:07
hellsworthLaney: I'd like to hear more..14:07
hellsworthdisabling tests seems like a heavy hammer14:08
marcustomlinsonright, listen to Laney's wisdoms14:08
hellsworth:)14:08
luna_sadly missed most that you talked about in the end however, as i am having headache and my computer crashed :p14:08
LaneyI mean it'd need someone who knows what they actually do14:09
luna_think i am gonna go shower and have a rest, but that seemd like an easy task to test 14:09
Laneybut perhaps some of them are more nice to have14:09
hellsworthi honestly don't know what the uicheck* tests do but i could look into them14:10
LaneyIn general armhf is interesting to us though and it's good for us to know that our stuff works there14:10
Laneymaybe start by getting the timestamps out of a log and seeing how the spread of runtimes looks like?14:11
luna_cyas14:11
hellsworthbut it's not just one uicheck test that fails frequently. it's always one of them though14:11
hellsworthin this case, it looks like unapplying a patch causes a make error. must be bogus though because it passed in my ppa14:11
hellsworthbut ok i'll spend some time with the uicheck tests today on armhf to get a better feeling for them and see if we can keep them. maybe just some tweak is needed14:12
Laneypart of the problem I reckon is that when we end up with 3 running on the same node they all make each other slow14:13
Laneyand that causes them to flake out or timeout14:13
hellsworthLaney: marcustomlinson seb128 would it be useful to jump on a call either today or tomorrow to discuss options so we can move past the current libreoffice armhf blockage?14:13
Laneyso making them less heavy on the host would help there, if that's a correct analysis14:13
hellsworthhmm but is there a way to choose the builder?14:13
Laneyno, I'm thinking like, look into parallelism if that's too high or whatever14:15
Laneyor any way to reduce the CPU load, dunno14:15
Laneywe could have a call tomorrow if you wanna, sure14:15
hellsworthyes i do think it would be benificial for me14:16
hellsworthhow bout https://time.is/compare/0800AM_12_Aug_2020_in_MT/London/France14:17
hellsworthi'll send out an invite..14:17
hellsworthbut still do some parallelism digging today for context14:18
LaneyI can imagine how you could have a 'big' packages thing for lxd tests like we have for the cloud ones, which would mean that e.g. libreoffice could get its own node14:23
Laneythat would be an alternative way to look at this from the infrastructure end14:24
LaneyI could mentor someone who wanted to look into that, if their management agreed ;-)14:24
hellsworthwell it sounds worth considering14:25
seb128I'm fine with an hangout tomorrow14:27
hellsworththank you so much both for your time14:28
hellsworthmarcustomlinson: is on there too in case he's up for a hangout as well :)14:28
Laneywho doesn't love a hangout14:31
marcustomlinsonnot me!!!14:32
marcustomlinsonI mean, I don't NOT love it14:32
marcustomlinsonconfusing14:32
marcustomlinsonhellsworth: sure, although I'll probably learn more than I can teach :)14:33
hellsworthgood then we shall have a grand time tomorrow morning :)14:39
RikMillsuicheck-sc FAIL non-zero exit status 215:15
RikMillscurrent libreoffixe armhf test is going to fail as well :(15:15
RikMills*libreoffice15:16
Laneysux15:24
hellsworthRikMills: why do you say the current libreoffice armhf test will fail too? this test has passed on the same package in a ppa so it has passed before.15:54
RikMillshellsworth: because I happened to see the log on the 'running' page when a test failure was showing there15:55
hellsworthoh i see15:55
RikMillsI was half watching it as the fails are blocking my entire KDE frameworks stack15:56
Laneyyou know, 6.4.5 has not actually passed on armhf http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libreoffice/groovy/armhf16:03
Laneyso maybe there is a real problem?16:03
seb128it did on focal though (so maybe if it's an issue it's another component that created the problem)16:06
seb128http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libreoffice/focal/armhf16:06
Laneydunno16:06
Laneythe failure seems suspiciously consistent16:07
seb128I was just mentioning it as a data point16:07
RikMillsI was pondering that, and thinking how I could do some triggers so my stuff gets 6.4.4 tested16:08
LaneyBinary URP bridge already disposed16:08
Laneyhellsworth: ^- can you look at that a little bit perhaps?16:12
Laneyyou should be able to run with --test-name uicheck-sc --shell-fail16:12
Laneythere's a problem with them being slow and restarting/etc but I'm now suspicious there is a real problem too16:13
hellsworthi swear it passed at least once16:14
hellsworthhttps://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-groovy-hellsworth-libreoffice1/groovy/armhf/libr/libreoffice/20200727_011753_62ae5@/log.gz16:14
hellsworthi will look for any pattern between the failures16:14
Laneyit seems to be a few lines up, some chuntering about URP whatever that is16:16
Laneyinteresting if it passed before though, so if something did change in groovy it might provide a window for when that happened16:17
hellsworthgood point16:20
hellsworthBinary URP should be shortened to burp16:24
