[05:41] <mmikowski> RikMills: We can have our staff perform tests on 5.25 against 7 models. Also, we had to resolve a backlight problem before our latest m2gen4 platform release, so that might be useful. Ping me and we can coordinate efforts! :)  cc @Eickmeyer
[05:57] <mmikowski> RikMills: FWIW, we can test starting tomorrow. Just want to make sure to look for the issues you are seeing and add them to our test suites.
[08:41] <RikMills> mmikowski: the bug is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454161
[08:41] <RikMills> there does seem to be an upstream MP with a fix now
[08:42] <RikMills> I don't hit that bug on my intel based laptop, so cannot confirm personally
[08:43] <RikMills> 5.25 already has quite a lot of bugfixes in git scheduled for 5.25.1 on Tuesday 21st
[10:26] <RikMills> ok, I have applied the upstream fix from the MP to our packages
[11:04] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[18:11] <mmikowski> Thank @RikMills, I just want to clarify that we have the facilities and personnel to help test before release ona wide variety of hardware, and think it would be helpful for everyone to do so. Doing something like this could really improve reliability, and we'd love to help.
[19:09] <mmikowski> RikMills: We have a backlight test in the hardware test suite. I'll make sure to accommodate the conditions expressed on the ticket, and when you're ready, we can execute a 5.25 Beta test on all 6 or 7 systems. Total turn around time is a day.
[19:10] <RikMills> ok. the ppa package should be fixed, but confirmation would be great!
[19:24] <mmikowski> ok Rik, we can clear the decks for testing tomorrow. That would mean Friday morning PST would would have a report on hardware compatibility and extensive desktop checks. Would that work for your?
[19:24] <mmikowski> *your = your schedule
[19:26] <mmikowski> RikMills: are you familiar with an annoying bug where desktop widgets keep getting shuffled around on each login? Do you know if this is fixed in 5.25?
[19:26] <RikMills> that would be fine
[19:27] <RikMills> I do recall something like that, but I keep a clear desktop so have not had it
[19:27] <RikMills> no idea if 5.25 fixes it
[19:29] <mmikowski> RikMills: We will know by Friday. We can share the desktop report and HW reports. The platforms will include i7-9750H, i7-10850H, i7-11800H, i7-12700H, i7-1165G, i7-1135G, and two additional yet-to-be-announced systems.
[19:33] <mmikowski> RikMills: These reports are large, but we create summaries to start. Think about where you would like those sent. FWIW, we may uncover other issues, as the tests are quite extensive.
[19:42] <mmikowski> RikMills: I mispoke. Testing will commence tomorrow, and summaries should be available by saturday morning PST.
[19:42] <mmikowski> The week is moving so fast, I hadn't realized it was Thursday :\
[19:49] <keithzg[m]> Time's relentless that way...
[19:51] <mmikowski> keithzg[m]: Indeed :)
[20:34] <RikMills> mmikowski: no problem
[20:46] <mmikowski> RikMills: Ok, internal ticket #2443. I'll get the summaries to you.
[20:47]  * RikMills slaps ubottu 
[22:46] <genii> ShipIt, what, I thought Canonical discontinued that
[22:47] <arraybolt3[m]> genii: The bug report doesn't even seem to exist anymore. Odd.
[22:47] <genii> ..except for LTS editions to LoCos
