| kgiii | FWIW, the ISO testing tracker is slowing down again. It's about 1m 15s for a report page to load and save. It was much worse for a few months, about a 2m load time per page, but then it improved. It's now slowing down again. I suppose that's outside the scope of the Lubuntu team, but I figured I'd mention it. It's darned annoying, is what it is. | 01:05 |
|---|---|---|
| arraybolt3 | Heh, I've seen it be pretty slow too. Guess it gives you time to go get some coffee or something :) | 01:11 |
| kgiii | They fixed it once. | 01:13 |
| arrayboltCBook | Well, currently I'm split between continuing to work on the KDE System Settings thing by testing out a new Bluetooth stack, or getting lubuntu-installer-prompt working and shipped. Which one sounds better? | 01:13 |
| arrayboltCBook | s/stack/UI/ | 01:13 |
| kgiii | Probably the settings thing - as more folks will be interested in that then BT. (That's my guess, anyway.) | 01:14 |
| kgiii | I so misread that... | 01:14 |
| arrayboltCBook | Well the Bluetooth and the settings thing are intertwined, as KDE System Settings is still getting installed on the Lubuntu ISOs since the KDE Bluetooth stuff recommends it. | 01:14 |
| kgiii | The installer prompt. Now that I actually read what you wrote. (I'm multitasking and NOT doing well with it!) | 01:15 |
| arrayboltCBook | Heh, no problem. Sounds good. My Bluetooth earbuds that I'd use for testing need recharged anyway. | 01:16 |
| arrayboltCBook | And the charging case needs charged too... | 01:16 |
| kgiii | LOL It's amazing how many things we recharge these days. I'm pretty old and that'd be one of the things I've seen change over time. Battery tech is pretty amazing. | 01:26 |
| arraybolt3 | Personally I think wired is actually more convenient. Laptops are cool, but a desktop won't run out of juice, has more power, and generally is easier to use. But laptops are what I have and I'm mobile enough around my house that having one is very handy, so... sigh. | 01:27 |
| guiverc | re: iso.qa tracker & slow.. I made RT ticket [67219; 18-Jan] & they responded due hardware failure.. will be fixed when ordered hardware arrives (they closed ticket) | 02:27 |
| tsimonq2 | arraybolt3: l-u-n autopkgtest> How exactly are you going about reproducing it? | 16:49 |
| tsimonq2 | arraybolt3: Usually, uploads to increase verbosity should be done locally/in a PPA :P (and you can trigger autopkgtests against PPAs ;) ) | 16:50 |
| arraybolt3 | tsimonq2: I just used "autopkgtest --apt-pocket=proposed=* -- schroot lunar-amd64-shm" to try and reproduce. | 16:55 |
| arraybolt3 | tsimonq2: Also, I didn't know there was any particular policy around making uploads to increase verbosity. | 16:55 |
| arraybolt3 | I did use the verbosity-increase locally and it gave me pretty much what I expected. | 16:55 |
| arraybolt3 | (i.e., a successful result that didn't appear to tell me anything more about what the problem might be) | 16:56 |
| arraybolt3 | (I also tried without the "--apt-pocket=proposed=*" and it behaved the same.) | 16:57 |
| tsimonq2 | arraybolt3: How about just using the triggers specified in the autopkgtest? | 17:16 |
| tsimonq2 | arraybolt3: Also meh, I guess it's not against policy, but an upload to just debug is kinda discouraged | 17:17 |
| tsimonq2 | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 17:17 |
| arraybolt3 | tsimonq2: Makes sense. And with the upload, I'll avoid doing debugging uploads in the future. (Though really we probably want this one since our previous autopkgtest was *pathetic* in how much info it gave, and now it's not \o/) | 17:22 |
| arraybolt3 | wrt lubuntu-installer-prompt, it looks like SDDM is auto-logging into the Lubuntu user upon start. I think all we need to do is change whatever's setting /etc/sddm to boot into a Lubuntu.desktop session, and make it boot into a installer-prompt.desktop session or something. | 20:48 |
| arraybolt3 | Then lubuntu-installer-prompt can exit and call startlxqt, which (I believe) gets the desktop rolling (or maybe it has to trigger Lubuntu.desktop or something). | 20:49 |
| arraybolt3 | Or it can exit and pop up Calamares. | 20:49 |
| arraybolt3 | Or maybe it shouldn't exit at all, if the user chooses to install Lubuntu, maybe it should just hide the buttons and leave the background there during the installation. | 20:54 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, sooooo... trying to run the installer prompt as an application without a window manager involved (oops) sorta resulted in a mess. | 21:44 |
| arraybolt3 | Guess I should probably rope OpenBox into the picture :P | 21:44 |
| tsimonq2 | I mean, Calamares could run in fullscreen mode? | 21:45 |
| arraybolt3 | That's a thought, but it looks bad in fullscreen mode currently and so we intentionally took it out of fullscreen mode. | 21:46 |
| arraybolt3 | (We are running alpha software in production here :P) | 21:46 |
| tsimonq2 | What looks bad, again? heh | 21:49 |
| arraybolt3 | one moment... | 21:50 |
| arraybolt3 | tsimonq2: OK, so... | 21:52 |
| arraybolt3 | The real problem I was having with the installer prompt was that, when rendered without a window manager, it was using X directly, and that made it render in a tiny box in the upper-left corner of the screen with nearly none of it visible. | 21:53 |
| === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc | ||
| arraybolt3 | The problem with Calamares is that when in fullscreen, it displays the splash screen image way smaller than its supposed to (a regression from the older version). | 21:53 |
| arraybolt3 | We worked around the regression by drawing Calamares in a window instead. And now I need to figure out how to get a window manager involved with lubuntu-installer-prompt, which probably means making a shell script to orchestrate things :D | 21:54 |
| tsimonq2 | What does the regressed splash screen look like? | 22:04 |
| arraybolt3 | https://imgur.com/a/JVdzfSI | 22:06 |
| arraybolt3 | (This was a problem in the Kinetic cycle, we elected to do things this way since we were short on time. We should do a Calamares update and see if the issue is solved there, and if not, write a bug report.) | 22:07 |
| arraybolt3 | (This is if I'm remembering correctly, that is.) | 22:07 |
| tsimonq2 | I wonder how big that source image file is, if we have the source for it, and if it will scale | 22:43 |
| arraybolt3 | It's supposed to scale automatically, I believe. | 22:44 |
| tsimonq2 | No, I mean, let's make sure it's not a small image in and of itself | 23:01 |
