Please announce yourself for roll call! Then, in order of announcement, post your items, and be sure to mention when you're done.
[19:49] <tsimonq2> I'm mass pinging because this is important. You all know I rarely put my foot down unless I really absolutely need to.

[19:49] -ubottu:#lubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2017101 in virtualbox-hwe (Ubuntu Focal) "[SRU] Virtualbox 7.0.12 and 6.1.48" [Undecided, In Progress]
[19:50] <tsimonq2> We need testing on that, yesterday. I'm working at it, arraybolt3 is working at it, but the more people the better.
[19:50] <tsimonq2> I am stopping just short of telling everyone to clear their schedule, because I really don't do that to volunteers, but if anyone has any free time, *any* testing help is appreciated.
[19:50] <arraybolt3> I have Mantic under control. If someone wants to pick up Lunar that would be appreciated.
[19:51] <arraybolt3> also Jammy requires twice the work of Lunar because it needs both the GA and HWE kernels tested.
[19:51] <arraybolt3> so if someone wants to do half of that, also helpful.
[19:51] <tsimonq2> Just finishing up with the GA kernel with Jammy now
[19:52] <arraybolt3> tsimonq2: to be vlear you followed the test plan bdmurray shared in the bug right?
[19:52] <arraybolt3> *clear
[19:52] <tsimonq2> Correct.
[19:52] <arraybolt3> perfect
[19:52] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> @guiverc ^^^
[19:52] <arraybolt3> I'm at the tail end of Mantic now
[19:54] <arraybolt3> shoooooot hit a regression
[19:54] <arraybolt3> man I hope this is transient
[19:54] <tsimonq2> what kind of regression >_M
[19:54] <tsimonq2> *>_<
[19:55] <arraybolt3> major graphical issues in a Mantic VM after using auto resize
[19:55] <tsimonq2> Is it a *regression*?
[19:55] <tsimonq2> Problems =/ regressions
[19:55] <arraybolt3> no clue yet
[19:55] <tsimonq2> Sounds good, thanks
[19:55] <arraybolt3> it may have just been a transient issue
[19:55]  * tsimonq2 knows we're all crossing our fingers that it is...........
[19:56] <tsimonq2> To catch anyone up who hasn't been following, VirtualBox is now unusable on Jammy with an HWE kernel.
[19:56] <tsimonq2> This is with the 6.5 update.
[19:56] <arraybolt3> nope, not transient
[19:56] <tsimonq2> F$%^

[19:56] <ubottu> tsimonq2: Please see my private message
[19:57] <arraybolt3> https://imgur.com/a/vAp64hq
[19:57] <arraybolt3> so... yeah.
[19:58] <arraybolt3> anyway, carrying on as if it wasn't an issue so I can test for a real regression soonish
[19:58] <tsimonq2> I didn't get to a Linux guest yet but I did get to Windows, and that does seem fine.
[19:58] <arraybolt3> yeah Windows worked well
[19:58] <arraybolt3> but a Mantic guest did that mess
[20:00] <arraybolt3> might not be VBox's fault actually
[20:00] <arraybolt3> enabling 3d accel fixed it :P
[20:29] <lubot> [telegram] <lynorian> I don't have any machines with virtual box on them
[20:40] <arraybolt3> doing the regression test finally, removing the VirtualBox Guest Additions from my existing VM turned out to be far easier said than done
[20:41] <arraybolt3> so I'm having to make a whole new VM >_<
[20:41] <arraybolt3> I'm not going to manage to do Lunar today I don't think, the Linux half of the testing has been a huge time sink
[20:41] <arraybolt3> which is funny, I expected Windows to give me a harder time
[20:41] <arraybolt3> this btw is why I **hate** VirtualBox
[21:01] <arraybolt3> WOOHOO it's not a regression!
[21:01] <arraybolt3> 🎉
[21:01] <arraybolt3> I can reproduce the screen corruption with VBox 7.0.10 (the earlier version in Mantic).
[21:06] <arraybolt3> Alright, Release 1/4 conquered!
[21:07] <arraybolt3> Trying Lunar now.
[21:07] <arraybolt3> I can'tguarantee I'll finish today, but I'm gonna try :)
[22:34] <arraybolt3> Lunar Windows testing passed.
[22:37] <arraybolt3> I'm going to try to cram in the Linux part but I think I'm likely to miss it.
[22:37] <arraybolt3> if I do miss it today, I'll finish tomorrow night.
[22:47] <arraybolt3> yeah I'm definitely going to miss it, the installations are just taking too long and I have to be gone by 5:17 PM CST. However, things are looking hopeful!
[22:47]  * arraybolt3 kicks myself for having had two major boffos during the installation of Mantic that, if avoided, might have given me enough time to finish
[22:48] <arraybolt3> (actually three major boffos, one with the hardware install, two with VM installs)
[23:02] <arraybolt3> TIL Ubuntu Desktop 23.04 installs updates at OS install time by doing a separate apt installation on almost every single individual package rather than updating them all at once, making the update take waaaaaaaaay longer than it should have to.
[23:03] <arraybolt3> it literally took longer to install Lunar than it took to install and test Windows. So. I'm going to sign off for the day, and pick up tomorrow night.
