arraybolt3zsyncing Xubuntu Core and preparing to test.01:24
Unit193I could alsalways do another one.01:38
arraybolt3[m]If you'd like to, I'll use it. One more just before release?03:11
arraybolt3Unit193: ^03:11
Unit193Before, after, same difference! :D03:11
arraybolt3Heh, funny. OK, will flash and fire up my test laptop.03:12
Unit193But in all seriousness, I tend to have one before I go to bed, and if there's any last minute changes I'll do another.  If not, then I'll finally link the last one, and by then it's usually been a few hours.03:13
arraybolt3Sounds good. /me preps to run the ISO through a solid battery of tests03:15
arraybolt3In case it's helpful, this is the test suite the Lubuntu project uses, and it's the one I use for pretty much everything. https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/release-team/testing-checklist/03:16
arraybolt3Not everything will apply in all situations (for instance Ubiquity doesn't have a swap or no swap setting), but a lot of it can carry over to other installers.03:17
Unit193arraybolt3: Going to presume you tested long ago and a respin now would be more of an annoyance than anything else?06:17
arraybolt3Respin would be great actually. I did one test which worked so far, and was just about to finish the rest of the battery.06:18
arraybolt3(I just finished Ubuntu Studio testing.)06:18
arraybolt3Unit193: ^ (just in case you missed it)06:25
Unit193I didn't, but it'll take 20 minutes.06:26
arraybolt3Ah. No problem, I'll be up that long.06:26
Unit193(Unless acng craps out, again...)06:26
-SwissBot:#xubuntu-devel- ATTN: Xubuntu Core 22.10 - amd64 - amd64 built.06:49
bluesabreNice06:50
Unit193Yeah that picked up a new ubiquity, so that'd be important.07:05
arraybolt3Unit193: Bad news about Xubuntu Core - encrypted installations with no Internet access are borked.09:00
arraybolt3Did two installs, the passphrase prompt isn't popping up and I get dropped to the initramfs shell.09:00
arraybolt3And a second Internet-allowed encrypted installation succeeded. So there's something critical related to encryption that's not on the ISO I'm guessing.09:13
Unit193Wonder if anyone has tested that before, ever...09:16
arraybolt3Encrypted installation without Internet access?09:17
arraybolt3(Also, good grief, did you *ever* get sleep?)09:17
Unit193I think sometime back in 2009.09:17
Unit193I'm not sure if that's worth re-spinning, but doing that.09:19
arraybolt3Also BTRFS installation via manual partitioning appears to be broken, do we care?09:23
arraybolt3Yeah, looks like btrfs-progs aren't installed. Probably on purpose.09:26
arraybolt3OK, one last install to test the use of an alternate language, then we're done!09:27
Unit193That one will be allowed now in the new image too.09:28
Unit193(Checked, saw it.  A couple other changes too.)09:28
arraybolt3We also test XFS in Lubuntu, so maybe looping xfsprogs in would be a good idea?09:29
arraybolt3I'll test those as well while I'm on a testing spree.09:29
Unit193reiserfsprogs was also excluded, but...I mean sure technically it *could* be pulled in, but at the time...  At this point, I don't remember if there was a reason, if btrfs/etc used to be (btrfs I'm pretty sure was, actually.) or what, so in theory I could be bringing in problems these fixed. :D09:32
arraybolt3Does anyone even use ReiserFS anymore?09:33
Unit193I hope not.09:33
Unit193I'd question the need for xfs, but iirc RedHat has that by default so I should likely allow it too.09:34
Unit193(FWIW, I'm not one of those "You must use it how I use it to be right" folks, really.)09:35
arraybolt3I'd say leave ReiserFS out. It's possibly dangerous, and may be removed from the kernel entirely. That would cause some problems on upgrade, I'd imagine.09:36
Unit193btrfs can certainly have data loss, but hey if that's what you want...09:36
arraybolt3Alright, waiting on respin, then will test BTRFS, XFS, no-Internet LVM+Encryption, and install alongside.09:41
arraybolt3If you don't mind I'm going to test those from the comfort of my VMs on my laptop rather than on baremetal, though, since I'm getting tired standing here.09:41
Unit193I mean that sounds like a lot of effort to me. :309:43
arraybolt3I'm keeping this OS alive, darn it. It's an awesome idea, needs more publicity, and ought to continue to be available. :)09:43
arraybolt3If testing is the only thing between it and survival, I will test. And test. I've got all the hardware for it.09:44
Unit193Well, I mean I do kinda like but the build tools around it aren't exactly clean, so putting it to rest has an appeal of getting rid of thsoe. :P  But yeah, otherwise it's testing, basically.09:46
arraybolt3It's your OS. If you'd rather not do it, then don't, but if you like doing it and my help will help it, I'm more than happy to do it.09:47
Unit193Well, it's been an Xubuntu team effort really. :)09:49
Unit193(I just host/build it.)09:49
Unit193OH, am I doing something weird with zstd on it?  Nice. :D  It's squashing now.09:50
Unit193Oh, I'm not.  It's default in the initramfs.09:51
Unit193initrd?  Something.  Anywho.09:51
arraybolt3Initialization Ram Disk Filesystem. <-- +109:52

arraybolt3Just gotta say I love the wallpaper.10:13
Unit193It's not something I would pick, but does look decent.10:25
Unit193(Even if it's not for me, I think he does a good job every year.)10:26
Unit193arraybolt3: In case it's not obvious, you're making it better too.  Maybe someone else didn't try encrypted offline, or maybe they did and turned to something else instead.  Soo...10:30
arraybolt3Thanks :)10:32
Unit193(Also with mini.iso gone, the case for an Xubuntu Core ISO shoots up a bit...)10:34

=== Unit193 is now known as Montresor
arraybolt3Montresor: All of the testing I've done on Xubuntu Core so far has been successful. I still have to do that LVM+Encryption, no internet test, but otherwise we're done!12:26
MontresorGreat!12:26
arraybolt3Montresor: Also... where'd Unit193 go?12:27
MontresorSeems there will be a dkms respin, but I'm not sure that actually affects us.  Nice.  It'll still be late before I update the website though.12:27
Montresorarraybolt3: I'm one of those silly people that participate in holiday nicks, though I do it for a shorter time.12:28
arraybolt3Ah. I get it.12:28
MontresorWhen Winter/Christmas gets here, I'll wear JackFrost.  Then I'll keep wearing it.  My other ones for this holiday are Ichabod Crane and Mr Dark.12:29
arraybolt3Alright, even the offline encrypted installation test worked!12:46
arraybolt3I think that's probably tested well enough. I didn't try a separate /home partition, or install using existing partition, or BIOS installation tests, but everything else was tested.12:48
EickmeyerMontresor wears costumes. It's his thing.13:23
bluesabreI updated the release pages and published the release announcement. Somebody check my work once caches expire. :)18:58
