15:14 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1752523 in The Ubuntu-power-systems project "Ubuntu 18.04 [ P9 WSP DD2.2 ]: lshw version is displayed as "unknown" and -json option is not available in help message." [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1752523

15:16 <slangasek> :)
15:16 <slangasek> oh my
15:17 <sil2100> 'I speak fluently Python'
15:17 <tdaitx> slangasek: hah, no, just german
15:17 <slangasek> ok, any other questions on status?
15:17 <sil2100> Python seems like a bad language for speaking, especially with all the whitespaces mattering that much
15:17 <cyphermox> slangasek: product maanger role for Foundations or in general?
15:18 <slangasek> cyphermox: in "general"
15:18 <cyphermox> ack
15:20 <slangasek> [TOPIC] Bugs
15:20 <slangasek> bdmurray: ?
15:20 <bdmurray> bug 1258597 popped up on my radar again
15:20 <ubottu> bug 1258597 in grub2 (Ubuntu Trusty) "[Patch] Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported." [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1258597
15:21 <bdmurray> It seems a lot of people are bothered by it and it seems easy to fix
15:22 <cyphermox> zug zug
15:22 <cyphermox> (I'll upload the fix right away)
15:22 <slangasek> what is the fix? to edit existing config files?
15:23 <bdmurray> I'm sure commentor #45 will appreciate it
15:23 <cyphermox> well, for one thing to not build from a default that has an invalid option
15:23 <cyphermox> as for editing the existing config files, that's much much harder.
15:23 <slangasek> ah ok
15:23 <slangasek> just checking the scope
15:23 <bdmurray> Could we fix it for 18.04.1?
15:23 <cyphermox> I'm thinking fixing the default will already help
15:23 <slangasek> yeah, sounds good. cyphermox you're saying you're taking it out of cycle?  if you're SRUing it we should still probably track it?
15:24 <cyphermox> slangasek: I'll card and all of that
15:24 <cyphermox> bdmurray: should be feasible, no other SRU in flight from the look of it
15:25 <slangasek> I'll go ahead and card it
15:25 <bdmurray> Okay, moving on. Is there a spot for netboot bugs e.g. 1777474
15:25 <bdmurray> bug 1777474
15:25 <ubottu> bug 1777474 in Ubuntu "Netinstall ISO offers usage of HTTPS mirrors but lacks ca-certificates" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1777474
15:25 <slangasek> "netinstall ISO" != "netboot"
15:25 <cyphermox> what's netinstall iso?
15:26 <slangasek> are they reporting it against netinstall or netboot?
15:26 <cyphermox> against mini.iso
15:28 <slangasek> yeah, I don't think that image is anything we should invest in
15:28 <cyphermox> don't we have some people who do use it?
15:28 <slangasek> if they were actually netbooting, that's a different matter
15:28 <cyphermox> should be simple enough to include ca-certificates on the mini.iso
15:29 <cyphermox> "simple enough" == making sure there's a udeb, and shipping the files it needs
15:29 <slangasek> cyphermox: clearly we do, but if they want a supported experience they should use the ISOs that we advertise
15:29 <cyphermox> slangasek: ok.
15:29 <bdmurray> where should the bug go though?
15:29 <slangasek> debian-installer
15:30 <bdmurray> okay
15:33 <bdmurray> Since we have a couple of SRU team members here could we talk about bug 1780501 and how to proceed.
15:33 <ubottu> bug 1780501 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "Traceback calling Vte.Terminal.feed_child()" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1780501
15:33 <slangasek> bdmurray: revert it all?
15:34 <bdmurray> I think in Ubuntu 18.04 at least it should be reverted.
15:34 <slangasek> so, +1
15:34 <bdmurray> I think the first paragraph of comment #8 is an assumption.
15:34 <bdmurray> See bug 1779015 where a project had to change because the SRU
15:34 <ubottu> bug 1779015 in Cubic trunk "Cubic crashes with error 'Vte.Terminal.feed_child() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)'." [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1779015
15:35 <slangasek> developers are responsible for handling regressions introduced in SRUs
15:36 <bdmurray> And the fix outlined in comment #4 shows how another package had to do version checking to cope with it too.
15:38 <bdmurray> So it sounds like we are in agreement about fixing this for 18.04.
15:38 <bdmurray> Bug 1778140 sounds bad but seems like it may be a corner case.
15:38 <ubottu> bug 1778140 in e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) "resize2fs hoses a filesystem on lvm after resizing" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1778140
15:40 <bdmurray> Any other opinions on that bug?
15:40 <slangasek> bdmurray: I see Ted is replying to that bug; I think we should let upstream work this at the moment
15:41 <slangasek> (we're not going to beat Ted T'so to resolving an e2fsprogs bug)
15:41 <slangasek> s/'s/s'/
15:41 <bdmurray> should we flag to keep an eye for rls-cc?
15:43 <slangasek> bdmurray: unsure, you decide :)
15:43 <bdmurray> I'll subscribe to it so we have an eye on it.
15:44 <bdmurray> That's it from me.
15:46 <slangasek> [TOPIC] AOB
15:46 <slangasek> anything else?
15:46 <cyphermox> yes
15:46 <bdmurray> I'm out half of today and all of tomorrow
15:47 <cyphermox> sil2100 and I would play Mahjong at the next sprint, we'd need two more players
15:47 <cyphermox> asking in advance since it would be good to know rules beforehand
15:47 <bdmurray> Is the one where the rules change every year?
15:48 <cyphermox> the rules don't change every year in riichi mahjong (the japanese one, not the american one)
15:48 <cyphermox> (that's all AOB for me)
