So people with 32 bit applications installed will have problems with those applications when they upgrade. see 20:09:48 <kanliot> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/850264 20:09:50 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 850264 in apt (Ubuntu Oneiric) "given a foreign architecture of i386 on amd64 machine, and an outdated libc, apt tries to remove libc-bin" [High,Fix committed] 20:09:59 <kanliot> any questions before i move on? 20:10:29 <kanliot> k 20:10:32 <kanliot> 4. 20:10:44 <kanliot> the release of 12.04 will have a bug 20:10:48 <kanliot> unfixed bug 20:11:05 <kanliot> full disk encryption will not be working, and you can install with full disk encryption selected 20:11:12 <kanliot> so installs in that case will not work 20:11:26 <kanliot> I'm looking for help. i donno how to document this 20:11:32 <kanliot> since fixing it is not possible 20:11:39 <kanliot> any comments phillw? 20:11:42 <gilir> it's affecting only us or all ISO ? 20:11:51 <kanliot> good question 20:11:55 <kanliot> i donno 20:12:01 <kanliot> but it's real enough 20:12:04 <phillw> kanliot: there is work-around 20:12:13 <MrChrisDruif> gilir; all releases 20:12:35 <MrChrisDruif> It's just not affecting a lot of people due to how the bug happens 20:12:41 <phillw> gilir: it is a kernel bug, for limited number of set ups. but is expected to affect everyone 20:12:42 <gilir> so it shoudl be documented in the Ubuntu release notes 20:13:17 <phillw> gilir: do you now have my emails go to spam :( 20:13:33 <phillw> I did explain it earlier as to what was decided. 20:13:53 <gilir> adding a note on the release notes sounds enough for me, since we can't fix it, we can't do better IMO 20:14:28 <MrChrisDruif> Shouldn't it be on the "main" Ubuntu release notes if it affects us all? 20:14:47 <phillw> gilir: no, they do not see it as warranted at this point, just that we have the work-around documented, in case it goes viral. 20:14:48 <gilir> MrChrisDruif, yes, it should be 20:15:43 <phillw> MrChrisDruif: it affects, so far, one person. It is a confirmed bug, but only only on that set up. They are wathing for dupes arriving. 20:15:51 <phillw> *watching* 20:16:28 <gilir> ok, so if it's not mentionned on the main releases notes, we can still add it on ours if we think it's necessary 20:16:31 <MrChrisDruif> So for now only document the work-around and if it's confirmed it'll be put on Ubuntu's release notes? 20:16:38 <MrChrisDruif> Yup 20:16:52 <gilir> we are quite free for our release notes :) 20:17:50 <gilir> kanliot, phillw, anything else ? 20:17:55 <kanliot> no 20:17:56 <phillw> gilir: ATM, just register it at FAQ/WorkAround 20:18:34 <phillw> we can always move it higher if it does become a major problem for the entire *butnu release. 20:18:49 <gilir> ok thanks kanliot and phillw :) 20:18:55 <kanliot> wwia 20:18:57 <kanliot> wait 20:19:00 <kanliot> 1 more thing 20:19:03 <phillw> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/850264 20:19:03 <kanliot> uh 20:19:05 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 850264 in apt (Ubuntu Oneiric) "given a foreign architecture of i386 on amd64 machine, and an outdated libc, apt tries to remove libc-bin" [High,Fix committed] 20:19:10 <kanliot> nvidia drivers are really bad 20:19:16 <kanliot> phillw how bad are they? 20:19:48 <kanliot> apparently tons of crashes 20:19:57 <kanliot> anyhow thats all i have 20:19:57 <phillw> I am on the previous bug, that messes up any upgrade from 11.10--> 12.04? 20:20:10 <kanliot> and it's never clear that it's not the applications that are crashing 20:20:29 <kanliot> ok you go first 20:20:34 <gilir> phillw told us that it should be fixed soon 20:21:06 <gilir> well, already fixed, just need to be uploaded, anything to add ? 20:21:07 <phillw> The fix for that is out and about, but it does REALLY need testing, we are running out of time for the RC's 20:21:39 <phillw> gilir: , yes - it needs testing & proven as a fix. 20:22:10 <gilir> phillw, ping me when it's in, and if you need test 20:22:27 <phillw> it will be in the next respin 20:22:42 <gilir> ok 20:22:59 <phillw> which *should* be there now. 20:23:43 <gilir> anything to add ? 20:24:15 <phillw> kanliot: anything else to add? this time next week, it is D-Day+1 :) 20:24:23 <kanliot> no thanks 20:24:45 <kanliot> you should be studying phillw 20:24:53 <kanliot> do your homework 20:25:01 <gilir> ok, let's move to the next topic 20:25:04 <phillw> gilir: I'll keep people updated for anything important. 20:25:24 <gilir> #topic kanliot - Weekly report - Update from Comms team 20:25:37 <kanliot> Mario Behling quickly replied to my email, he says the osuosl people will put up a test site soon.
