15:02:26 <cjwatson> I think I remembered the set of people who're off today correctly
15:02:37 <xnox> i am first for the first time
15:02:39 <xnox> ubiquity-lvm auto install works with UI, apart from the install fails
15:02:39 <xnox> due to new bug #1020574
15:02:39 <xnox> did patch piloting, see report on the mailing list
15:02:39 <xnox> got access to HPCloud together with a few other devs, started to
15:02:39 <xnox> jujufy collab-qa/cloud-scripts.git for launching archive rebuilds. The
15:02:41 <xnox> goal is full archive rebuild in 8 hours (excluding libreoffice).
15:02:41 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1020574 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "SystemError: Broken pipe while installing language packs" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1020574
15:02:43 <xnox> got panda board, didn't install it
15:02:45 <xnox> two packages left for boost1.49: player (quick fix), and ball (FTBFS
15:02:47 <xnox> with gcc4.7 and gcc4.6, and python-moc)
15:03:04 <cjwatson> lvm auto install> well done, good start :)
15:03:10 <cjwatson> (is there a branch somewhere for it?)
15:03:15 * xnox should push
15:03:25 <xnox> after removing swear words from commit messages
15:03:35 <xnox> i am in the office today
15:03:49 <xnox> and will be working with mpt for the second part of the week on the RAID and LUKS design

15:07:22 <infinity> cjwatson: I've not actually looked at your half-started branches yet.  Nor do I remember where you half put them. ;)

15:07:48 <infinity> (Yesterday was the first chance I really had to dive in much at all, now that I no longer have minions interrupting me)
15:07:51 <cjwatson> All my state was there
15:08:10 <cjwatson> Well, if you want to pair-hack on it for a while at some point, I'm available - or not, if that'd be a distraction :)
15:08:12 <infinity> Shiny.  Will look when awake.

15:11:01 <jodh> * boot/upstart: stateful re-exec work:
15:11:01 <jodh> - Made code 64-bit safe (time-consuming due to awkwardness of JSON-C).

15:11:01 <jodh> tentacles.
15:11:04 <jodh> * misc: on holiday Friday 6th and next week.
15:11:07 <jodh>15:11:11 <jodh> 
15:11:19 <stgraber> cjwatson: good to hear the -proposed change landed, I'll test a desktop image later this week so we can get ubiquity out of proposed
15:11:26 <xnox> ogra_: (in text2speech audio description ;-) )
15:11:45 <cjwatson> stgraber: Yeah, I've tried a couple of times but for some reason was having trouble getting it to use a proxy at all
15:11:49 <ogra_> *g*
15:12:38 <xnox> cjwatson: can't you pressed the proxy via apt.conf setting or via debconf.
15:12:40 <xnox> ?
15:12:46 <cjwatson> Yes, I did
15:12:50 <xnox> =(
15:12:50 <xnox> ok
15:12:58 <cjwatson> Something was weird and I didn't get a chance to investigate properly
15:13:13 <jodh> ogra_: what are the plymouth issues out of interest?
15:13:29 <stgraber> IIRC ubiquity is supposed to pick it up from gsettings, but that's a part of the code that I touched quite a while ago and isn't widely tested (if at all)
15:13:29 <cjwatson> I had a suspicion maybe the python-apt code in scripts/{plugin,}install wasn't picking up the setting or something, but it was just a guess
15:13:47 <ogra_> jodh, one is an issue with the omap4 kernel providing a drm device but not attaching it to any output ...
15:13:51 <cjwatson> Maybe setting it in the live session's apt.conf as well as preseeding it would help, for the purposes of getting this verified
15:14:14 <ogra_> jodh, the other is still unidentified (still trying to fix the kernel issue on ac100 first)
15:15:07 * xnox so it's the network's transparent proxy which is borked... since there is no obvious way to force proxy usage. Can it be done outside of the VM for example..
15:15:22 <cjwatson> #topic bugs
15:15:54 <cjwatson> Steve asked me if we could have a quick look through some of the 12.04.1 targeted bugs and make sure that (a) any that should be on target are (b) any that we shouldn't care about aren't on the list
15:16:23 <xnox> from the subset of ~foundations subscribed/assigned/personal?
15:16:31 <cjwatson> stgraber: Does https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+bugs?field.milestone=49926 match the list you're working from?
15:16:34 <xnox> or just all the 12.04.1?
15:16:46 <cjwatson> xnox: the above is the URL Steve gave me
15:16:48 <stgraber> cjwatson: I guess I'll simply make that perl script the transparent proxy for that VM, that's a pretty simple iptables rule
15:17:05 <cjwatson> stgraber: That should work, yeah
15:17:08 <stgraber> cjwatson: yep, that's the one
15:17:20 <cjwatson> I picked out a few categories from that
15:17:48 <cjwatson> There's the multi-arch bugs, which IIRC stokachu has moderately well in hand, although he's presumably out celebrating independence today
15:18:05 <cjwatson> (bug 977940, bug 977964, bug 977947, bug 977952, bug 977959)

15:20:01 <xnox> cjwatson: the e2fsprogs SRU is pending review from infinity, but it potentially also needs cleaning up.
15:20:12 <cjwatson> And apparently ubottu has rate-limited me, sigh
15:20:38 <cjwatson> xnox: So are each of the non-microrelease bugs on mdadm still good targets, or are you going to pare that down?
15:20:48 <cjwatson> As in, is it a matter of backporting specific patches?
15:21:07 <stgraber> bug 946406 might be related to bug 985065

15:21:48 <cjwatson> Meh, I'll take that psmisc one, since I've been uploading the quantal merges anyway
15:22:38 <infinity> It looks straightforward.
15:23:03 <xnox> cjwatson: yes they are. i need to revert a couple of patches from the micro-release of mdadm and it should be good to go.
15:23:26 <xnox> those that change interfaces.
15:23:57 <cjwatson> stgraber: There's a cluster of four dnsmasq and resolvconf bugs; are you happy with all of those being listed?
15:24:29 <ev> cjwatson: I've tidied up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity
15:25:01 <stgraber> cjwatson: I need to go through them but it's very unlikely we'll fix them as they'd be pretty significant behaviour changes, IIRC most of them are linked to NM and so should be somewhere on cyphermox's list
15:25:32 <cjwatson> OK, I'll assume you'll shift the milestone if you nack them, then
15:25:42 <stgraber> yep
15:25:59 <cjwatson> Sigh, LP's assignee listings are unhelpful for this list
15:26:06 <cjwatson> (some of the Nones are lies)
15:26:39 <stgraber> I'll try to do some nagging this week, making sure the various teams assign the bugs they're planning to work on or move the bugs to another milestone
15:26:53 <cjwatson> Does anyone know about bug 683640?  It's currently milestoned for 12.04.1 and also rls-q-notfixing, which seems like an unlikely combination

15:27:13 <xnox> but it's not the whole truth
15:27:56 <cjwatson> Right, I know there are various possibilities but I explicitly want to work off the same list as Steve so that I'm not missing things
15:28:13 <xnox> ok
15:28:30 <cjwatson> Bug 974584 (sysvinit) and bug 523896 (shadow) appear to need assignees; any volunteers?

15:31:26 <ev> xnox: cheers
15:32:05 <cjwatson> stgraber: Neither of whom is assigned, but OK ...

15:32:30 <cjwatson> OK
15:33:38 <stgraber> cjwatson: yeah, I'll poke him for a status update on that bug tomorrow and to figure out who of slangasek and hallyn is actually working on it
15:34:15 <stgraber> IIRC there's a fix that landed in Debian (or in the vcs branch) but that slangasek then considered wrong, so it's still being discussed
