It happens. 15:05:36 sure 15:05:42 As to the tracker, the link you posted shows no progress, when 5 of my WI are done. 15:05:46 and its expected at such days 15:05:51 soneed archive skew fixed 15:06:03 GrueMaster, which one ? note the ubuntu-armel one is obsolete 15:06:17 i mis-pasted that one from the wiki 15:06:18 ah 15:06:24 we should probably use statis.u.c 15:06:32 er status 15:06:33 thats why i pasted an updated version below ;) 15:06:45 NCommander, is everything sorted with it ? 15:06:57 i thought there were still issues with cross team statuses 15:07:15 it ahould be fine 15:07:29 well, feel free for next meeting then ;) 15:07:37 it surely looks tons better 15:07:38 Since none of my work items require code checkin, I am just going to keep plugging away. 15:07:45 cool 15:08:05 GrueMaster, anything we could help you with (apart from finishing our own items indeed) 15:08:11 ? 15:08:30 Some of my WI require work from you, so yes. 15:08:56 beyond that ... you still have 8 items, can we share something to idling team members i mean :) 15:09:05 I took one of GrueMaster's WI which luckily may get solved differently. we'll see 15:09:27 Also, I found a test suite for ipv6, but it is for FreeBSD and won't compile on Linux in its current form. mahmoh was going to look at it, but that was a few weeks ago. 15:09:30 right, i took two recently, but thats trivial stuff and not closely bound to freezes 15:10:04 GrueMaster: could you point me at that test? 15:10:16 GrueMaster, if need be postpone IVP6 testing as blocked on test porting 15:10:39 davidm: It is currently marked as blocked. 15:10:56 GrueMaster, good enough 15:11:09 anything else about WIs ? 15:11:13 cmagina: I'll find the link and shoot it your way. 15:11:20 GrueMaster: thanks 15:11:20 or can i move to server ? 15:11:47 moving on ... 15:11:47 . 15:11:49 . 15:11:49 . 15:11:54 [topic] ARM Server Status (NCommander, Daviey) 15:11:54 TOPIC: ARM Server Status (NCommander, Daviey) 15:11:59 cmagina: http://www.tahi.org/release/ 15:12:48 not muchto report on my end 15:12:49 NCommander, Daviey ? 15:13:06 well, i know Daviey had issues with qemu the last week 15:13:20 trying to get cloud images running 15:14:04 NCommander, they will likely use omap i guess and might need to learn how to create the vfat (or where to steal a working one that can boot a cloud instance) 15:14:04 I am pretty happy with our.progress. there is still some research into openstack that I need to look at 15:14:57 since the beagle emulation literally emulates a beagle ... (so you need a partitioned Sd image, not just an img and vmlinuz) 15:15:16 i think we need to provide some help here since we know that stuff 15:15:38 anything else for server ? 15:16:04 yeah thats a headache sinceour preinstalls wont work right 15:16:21 nothing else 15:16:40 moving on 15:16:41 . 15:16:44 . 15:16:45 . 15:17:06 [topic] Kernel Status (cooloney, ppisati) 15:17:06 TOPIC: Kernel Status (cooloney, ppisati) 15:17:16 For every arm flavour but natty/ti-omap4 an update should be on its way out. The updated kernels mainly contain CVEs fix. 15:17:36 awesome 15:17:37 On the other hand, work continues on lp709245: found a patchset that should enable localtimers even in the nosmp case but it doesn't work out of the box, and i'm debugging it ATM. 15:17:56 i might say that now i know why it doesn't work, and IMO it should work at all 15:18:05 i was pinged about sound status on omap4, but cant tell much about it atm 15:18:12 (in fact the patchset has not been pulled in rmk patch system...) 15:18:31 GrueMaster, did you test any sound related stuff recently ? 15:18:34 dunno, should ask the TI guy tomorrow 15:18:41 Not since A3. 15:18:42 i'm nmot sure we have all necessary patches in 3.0yet 15:18:57 only thing that's kind of also related with the kernel 15:19:02 we need to get the sound working this time! 15:19:07 :-) 15:19:09 ppisati, well, TI was among the ones asking :) 15:19:14 ah 15:19:16 nice :) 15:19:22 rsalveti, please !!!!!!!!!! 15:19:23 but, do they get sound working? 15:19:29 :) 15:19:40 need to sync with alsa ucm configs and also the kernel 15:19:46 dunno, we definitely need to check our sound stack though 15:19:59 perhaps iot's just a pulseaudio problem 15:20:00 pulse changed and might expect bits from the kernel we dont have atm 15:20:17 actually the problem one month ago was that 15:20:25 yeah, should be good to sync with agreen to see if he's planning to merge anything new related with sound 15:20:28 when pulseaudio opened some devices and tried some ioctls 15:20:42 the devices didn't answer as pulseauydio expected si 15:20:43 so 15:20:53 instead of sleeping or dying or whatever 15:21:10 well, we dont need to work out the fix right now :) 15:21:18 he kept triyng to re-open the device and reissue the same ioctls over and over again 15:21:23 just everybody keep an ear open for sound stuff :) 15:21:27 yeah 15:21:33 result? 100% busy cpu 15:21:35 i'll run around and poke people the next week 15:21:52 i repeat, perhaps it's a pulseaudio problem 15:21:59 can't we kill it? no eh? :) 15:22:30 about the ac100 kernel, it seems there are suspend fixes that partially work on some devices .... but seems there was also instability added to the tree since my last checkout for the ubuntu package 15:22:50 ppisati, no, we cant, gnome depends on it in some ways 15:22:51 ogra_, suspend does not work for me with the new marvin kernel 15:22:58 it is still less than a week old patchset 15:23:01 ogra_: i was kidding :) 15:23:08 janimo, thats why i said partially work on some devices :) 15:23:30 well, indeed i would like to have the latest and greatest in the archive by release :) 15:23:43 anyway, just a short ac100 status 15:23:48 anything else for kernel ? 15:24:00 not from me 15:24:01 anything for the mx5 one? 15:24:09 or is it working well? 15:24:18 ogra, we have almost 2 months till release, so we may get that. It is not a critical platfrom so we can still update after the freeze 15:24:19 no, we need a metapackage name change 15:24:37 mx5 indeed needs a new metapackage from jcrigby , ogra should know the new name :) 15:24:49 janimo, indeed, its in universe, but i'd like to stick to release schedule if possible 15:24:53 ok, doesn't seems too complicated :-) 15:24:57 right 15:25:03 ogra_: can you sync with jcrigby later? 15:25:07 needs to be linux-linaro-lt-mx5 15:25:17 yup, he pinged me in #uarm already 15:25:22 The MX image is a little more critical than we give it. With that image, the kubuntu team can do more testing in-house. Right now, they rely on me to do release testing. 15:25:24 great :-) 15:25:33 ogra_: Eh? The metapackage was named correctly... 15:25:37 ogra_: Wasn't it? 15:25:39 GrueMaster, if it works on the efikas :) 15:25:56 infinity, l-b looks for linux-linaro-lt-mx5 15:26:07 ogra_: Yes... And what's it called now? 15:26:16 which is right if -linaro belongs to the flavour 15:26:23 (it does) 15:26:27 linux-image-linaro-lt-mx5 15:26:31 there is no actual meta 15:26:36 only the linux-image one 15:26:42 ogra_: Oh, the image one is correct. 15:26:48 You just mean he's missing the higher level one. 15:26:49 right, and the meta is missing 15:26:50 Fair enough. 15:27:01 trivial addition to debian/control 15:27:04 Yeah. 15:27:04 anyway 15:27:07 moving on ... 15:27:08 . 15:27:09 Carry on. 15:27:09 . 15:27:11 . 15:27:17 so ogra just send me an email with addition, ok? 15:27:24 [topic] ARM Porting/FTBFS status (NCommander, janimo) 15:27:24 TOPIC: ARM Porting/FTBFS status (NCommander, janimo) 15:27:31 jcrigby, np 15:27:46 infinity, great job on ocaml transition 15:28:01 I did a few uploiads and give backs 15:28:15 and assigned likewise-open to the uploader :) 15:28:16 yeah, he spammed my changes inbox like mad 15:28:24 lol 15:28:35 poor package ... noone loves it 15:28:51 I thought there's a company behind, not sure why it does not get love 15:29:08 btw, is anybody watchiong the rebuild test results ? 15:29:20 likewise open breaks ecery cycle and it annoys me to fiz it 15:29:45 So fix it, don't fiz it. :P 15:30:02 empathy breaks the images btw 15:30:14 s/empathy/tp-glib/ 15:30:16 GrueMaster, well, he could fiz it but onyl with some gin 15:30:21 Which is s/tp-glib/lp-buildd/ 15:30:29 (i know, really bad pun) 15:30:47 did anyone ever look at scribus ? 15:30:49 I'll look at the lp-buildd bug today and sort out if it's worth my time to keep patching testsuite timeouts or just fix launchpad. 15:30:56 ......... 15:31:05 it seems to sit there forever, or does it just show up over and over ? 15:31:25 it? 15:31:35 scribus 15:31:57 i dont look that often at ftbfs anymore but it feels like its on there every time i look 15:32:00 ogra_, I looked at scribus last cycle and sent a large patch upstream 15:32:05 there being http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ 15:32:12 it may still languish in their trac, and not even apply anymore 15:32:27 hmm, and libreoffice is unhappy too it seems 15:32:40 ogra this one is fixed in the queue 15:32:41 ugh .. 15:32:52 phew 15:33:23 for the rebuild http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20110819-oneiric.html 15:33:24 anything else for ftbfs ? doko ? anything to add wrt rebuild ? 15:33:37 expect more breakage I guess :) 15:33:38 ah, ricardo is to fast :) 15:33:59 well, if there is nothing else, i'll move on 15:34:01 . 15:34:03 . 15:34:06 . 15:34:20 move 15:34:22 [topic] http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ 15:34:22 TOPIC: http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ 15:34:25 err 15:34:26 grrr 15:34:34 ogra_, it would be nice if somebody could file the bug reports for arm ... 15:34:45 [topic] ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) 15:34:45 TOPIC: ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) 15:34:52 doko, why not just fix them :) 15:35:00 doko: I'm planning to go over that list, file bugs if needed and put the porting-queue tag 15:35:10 http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20110819-oneiric.html 15:35:18 so we can have more people looking at them during the linaro porting jam 15:35:26 good idea 15:35:34 k, image status ... 15:35:42 I think we need to set aside a spec next cycle for doing infrastructure work. It is such a waste to manually handle all these breakages. There may exist half-decent sccripts but they are not widely used 15:35:46 janimo did a bunch of work on the mx5 ones :) 15:36:12 s/bunch of work/bunch of uploads/ 15:36:19 i spent nearly all week on debian-cd to add fixes, our code was really badly not designed for more than omap actually 15:36:23 ogra_, did the lo one, where is your fix? ;-P 15:36:48 heh 15:37:05 rsalveti, jcrigby want to bring up the issue of uboot+SPL replacing xloader for our images, sooner rather than later 15:37:27 our download pages have changed a bit, please take a look at cdimage on the preinstalled images and tell me what still needs changing 15:37:46 they say new uboot needs pushing in the archive and we need to switch the images over if possible simultaneously 15:37:47 ah, right, SPL and u-boot 15:37:56 wont be possible i guess 15:38:03 but in a close window will 15:38:03 yeah, we switched to spl for 11.08 15:38:04 but if we expect breakage for a few days anyway they could just go in now :) 15:38:08 quite well tested, working fine 15:38:18 yeah, today is the deadline 15:38:18 janimo, if you dont want mx5 images :P 15:38:32 i still need a working cdimage/debian cd atm 15:38:41 jcrigby can push the package today, but will break omap 4 images 15:38:49 well I want them, won't this only possibly break omap targets? 15:38:50 omap3 too, no ? 15:38:58 ogra_: not for now 15:39:01 ah, k 15:39:04 currently only for omap 4 15:39:10 I hope our targets are well separated enough so we can break one without the other 15:39:22 well, if its only omap4, then go for it, but i'm swamped tomorrow 15:39:34 so someone else with antimony access needs to handle that 15:39:50 should be a simple change 15:39:55 it wont 15:39:59 why not? 15:40:09 its a change that has to happen in multiple places 15:40:15 yeah, true =\ 15:40:16 ogra_, I can look at the omap4 and add a pull request unless infinity or NCommander want to add it. I hope I'll get it right in at most 3 trials 15:40:24 starting at d-i, over flash-kernel to debian-cd and cdimage 15:40:32 shudder 15:40:47 there is likely even more duplicated code in other places i dont remember atm 15:41:03 This close to beta, maybe we should wait until after next week. 15:41:09 janimo, yeah, preferably we should have something like flash-kernel-installer thats re-used everywhere 15:41:10 even debian-cd has uboot referenes? 15:41:27 janimo, the boot and post-boot scripts 15:41:36 oh, I thought that was cdimage 15:41:43 I keep confusing these two 15:42:24 rsalveti, is the new uboot package not a drop in replacement for the exising one? What happens if xloader is installed too? 15:42:44 still I think we can and should do this before beta 15:42:53 I can look at the uboot/omap4 thing 15:42:59 well, skaet, around ? 15:42:59 janimo: it's fine to install both at the rootfs 15:43:03 any opinion ? 15:43:12 you just need to copy the right MLO for the first partition 15:43:18 ogra_, yup 15:43:30 wer will likely need a good bunch of freeze exceptions for that 15:43:35 rsalveti, ah, because xloader cannot load new uboot? 15:43:40 I also agree with before beta so wr can maximize testing 15:43:43 janimo: no :-( 15:43:53 NCommander, says he approves FFes so we're fine 15:44:06 rsalveti, that's ok. As long as we know it 15:44:07 :) 15:44:15 janimo: :-) 15:44:18 fiine the bug and I will.ack 15:44:26 file even 15:44:50 he will only fiine it if you then fiz it :P 15:45:15 k, lets unleash GrueMaster .... 15:45:18 moving on 15:45:18 :-p 15:45:18 . 15:45:20 . 15:45:22 . 15:45:39 [topic] QA GrueMaster mahmoh 15:45:39 TOPIC: QA GrueMaster mahmoh 15:45:48 * GrueMaster ... unleashed. 15:46:21 Currently, I am stuck on iSCSI implementation. Trying to reproduce on x86. 15:46:54 Will set it aside today, so I can get other things working (clusterFS, LAVA, etc). 15:47:29 Bug #806751 still hounds me, even though others seem to think it is invalid. 15:47:30 Launchpad bug 806751 in debian-installer (Ubuntu Oneiric) "Boot partition on SD is too small on omap/omap4" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/806751 15:48:17 Until it is fixed, I can not use the boot.img-[serial|fat] images, and netboot has to be very manual (format partition, copy files manually). 15:48:43 to be honest i dont get why its invalid 15:49:16 dont we have a rule that invalid bugs need a comment when invalidated ? 15:49:24 I don't either. But every time I hit it and refile, it gets marked invalid and disappears. 15:49:34 Yes. 15:49:37 davidm, ^^^ you set it to invalid, why did you ? 15:50:23 its incalid because the partitiooner ahohld be recreating the vfat blob. I havent had an opportunity to properly fix it 15:50:43 and then it gets invalidated ? 15:51:01 If it isn't fixed, it isn't invalid. Fix it and mark the bug "Fix Released". 15:51:09 * ogra_ doesnt get that ... its simply not fixed, leave it alone if you dont find the time, but dont inavliadte it 15:51:13 ugh Ineed a new keyboard 15:51:45 same here, though i'm sitting in the garden, balancing the ac100 on a knee ... :) 15:51:46 no the.bug.is guided partitioning doesnt work which.is filed 15:51:52 NCommander, said it was invalid, if it's not then lets set it correctly and contiue but fix it this week 15:51:55 If the bug needs to point to a different package, let me know. I can reassign appropriately. 15:52:02 NCommander, then its a duplicate 15:52:13 so it should be duplicated 15:52:18 not invalidated 15:52:33 no its a non issue. it should be set to wont fix 15:52:35 guided is the default on server too, right ? 15:52:41 yes 15:52:50 then thats even high 15:53:03 (critical in arm only POV) 15:53:26 and there is a seperate bug on itvwhich os high 15:53:33 why should it be wontfix if its actually a different issue you can duplicate to ? 15:53:45 just add a duplicate and be done :) 15:54:00 fine. change it. its not worse the arguement 15:54:06 worth 15:54:11 else you have tobin opening it over and over, getting annoyed every time 15:54:18 The bug should only be invalid if it is inappropriately assigned to the wrong package, like if I had assigned it to pulseaudio. 15:54:21 whats the master bug # ? 15:54:49 anyway, lest move, time runs out and i have an AOB bit 15:54:55 lp on this link is a bad idea. action me tovdupe it 15:54:57 moving on ... 15:55:02 . 15:55:04 . 15:55:05 . 15:55:10 [topic] AOB 15:55:10 TOPIC: AOB 15:55:16 just a reminder we'll be entering beta freeze at 2100 UTC 15:55:40 (in 5 hours) 15:55:44 [action] NCommander to duplicate 806751 to the right masterbug 15:55:44 * meetingology NCommander to duplicate 806751 to the right masterbug 15:55:47 So sayeth the master of all. 15:56:09 (referring to skaet). 15:56:09 yeah, get your stuff in everyone (me included) !!!! 15:56:25 yes please. 15:56:56 so, i'm using unity-2d on arm every day, recently we switched to unityƶ-greeter on lightdm, that results in UI response times of 1-2sec for a keystroke etc 15:57:23 i talked to seb about that today and he sees no issue with that, people should have more powerful HW if they use unity-greeter 15:57:46 wow. Such a non-answer. 15:57:51 so i think we need to test that a bit deeper, my only experience is on ac100 where the UI is totally unusable 15:58:08 his suggestion was to use the gtk greeter instead on all arm images 15:58:11 If that's the default, that answer doesn't work even for x86... 15:58:22 i was referring to vesa ... 15:58:34 I'll try to get some desktop testing in today or tomorrow. 15:58:38 as well as to framebuffer 15:58:41 good 15:58:48 I can test it in an x86 VM. 15:58:55 if we need to do anything about it, we should know as early as possible 15:59:14 i was just very surprised about that attitude ... 15:59:19 thats all from me 15:59:26 anything else for AOB 15:59:28 ? 15:59:29 jcrigby: It would take me as long to write a patch as to just upload linux-meta-whatever. Mind if I just upload the mx5 meta fix, and you can pick it up from the archive? :) 15:59:43 reminds me of the good old days of gnome needing lots of RAM and saying those library dependencies are just fine 15:59:49 hehe 15:59:50 yeah 15:59:59 then the whole mobile craze made that suddenly an issue for them too 16:00:05 k, doesnt seem like there is anything else 16:00:07 closing 16:00:11 going once 16:00:14 going twice 16:00:24 sold to the woman with the whip 16:00:28 #ednmeeting 16:00:34 #endmeeting
