|
[08:44] <davmor2> anyone else having issues with auto detection of resolution? |
|
[08:45] <davmor2> join #ubuntu-quality |
|
[08:59] <persia> davmor2: Which video driver? |
|
[09:00] <davmor2> intel |
|
[09:00] <persia> Hmm. That's the one driver I haven't seen complaints about. |
|
[09:01] <davmor2> actually I think it might be the monitors fault it does announce it's resolution correctly but I normally get some sort of image that I can adjust latter |
|
[09:07] <persia> What are you running? Might this be a symptom of the transition away from bullet-proof X? |
|
[09:14] <davmor2> I'm running intrepid Alpha 2 test i386 and the monitor is a relisys at 1024x768 at 60hz any randr command I use says not screen or something similar so I'm stuffed at the moment |
|
[09:16] <davmor2> persia: is there a way to select a resolution at install time? You used to be able to select or is it all automatic now? |
|
[09:24] <persia> davmor2: It's automatic, but can be overridden. As I understand it (I'm not an X expert), there is no xorg.conf by default, and the resolution is selected by analysis of the EDID provided by the monitor. |
|
[09:25] <persia> You ought be able to adjust this with xrandr, where that is supported, although I don't know how to set the preference. |
|
[09:25] <davmor2> yeah it the EDID that sucks on the monitor :( |
|
[09:26] <persia> You could also force it by adding the right stanza to a custom xorg.conf, which is merged with the autodetected one when X starts. |
|
[09:26] <persia> I think there is also a way to specify a custom EDID, although I don't know how that works. |
|
[09:33] <davmor2> persia: thanks I'll look it up |

[17:42] <_MMA_> Hi all. Just wanted to mention Studio has big kernel issues atm and all disks will fail. |
|
[17:43] <_MMA_> We're waiting on upstream issue to be sorted. |
|
[17:44] <_MMA_> I dont even think new disks should be mentioned on the tracker 'till we got it sorted. |
|
[17:45] <stgraber> ok |
|
[17:46] <_MMA_> Kinda crappy but I don't want people going through the trouble when I know they will fail 'till the kernels sorted. |
|
[17:47] <stgraber> what do you prefer ? removing them from the tracker or marking them as broken ? |
|
[17:48] <_MMA_> Hmm... |
|
[17:48] <_MMA_> Well what? The current disks? |
|
[17:48] <stgraber> yes |
|
[17:48] <stgraber> I can mark them as broken but that means fixed images will soon be released |
|
[17:48] <_MMA_> Either or really. Your discretion. |
|
[17:49] <_MMA_> well remove then. |
|
[17:49] <stgraber> if you don't plan to have fixed images soon (as in ready for Alpha-2) it's better to remove them from the tracker so people don't expect them to come |
|
[17:49] <_MMA_> Yeah. Axe them. |
|
[17:49] <_MMA_> I don't have a solid time-frame for the fix. Certainly not for Alpha2. |
|
[17:50] <stgraber> ok, removed |
|
[17:50] <_MMA_> Cool. |
|
[17:50] <stgraber> sbeattie: ^ |
|
[17:51] <_MMA_> slangesek: Is there anything I need to handle with you? Should you just not mark disks for Alphas 'till I tell you to? |
|
[17:52] <sbeattie> stgraber: cool, thanks for taking care of it. |
|
[17:52] <_MMA_> slangasek: ^^^ |
|
[17:53] * _MMA_ cant type today. |
|
[17:54] <stgraber> _MMA_: no working -rt kernels ? |
|
[17:54] <_MMA_> No sir. Alessio is waiting on something to happen upstream. |
|
[17:54] <_MMA_> Some of it has to do with the scheduler I think. |
|
[17:55] <_MMA_> Alessio is supposed to shoot off a email to the kernel list soon with the details. |
|
[17:55] <slangasek> _MMA_: ah, sorry, I was aware UbuntuStudio wasn't a go for the alpha, but hadn't noticed that anything was posted |
|
[17:56] <_MMA_> slangasek: np. Do you want me to just let you know when the kernel issues are sorted so we can get the next alpha after? |
|
[17:57] <slangasek> _MMA_: yes, please |
|
[17:57] <_MMA_> Cool. Hopefully this is sorted for Alpha3. |
|
[17:59] <_MMA_> Thanx guys. |
|
[18:48] <slangasek> sbeattie: do you happen to know why iso.qa has a comment that "Desktop images are available on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com but are not yet usable"? has someone confirmed them to be broken, or are they just oversized? |
|
[18:49] <sbeattie> slangasek: I thought there was comments to that effect in yesterday's QA meeting |
|
[18:50] <sbeattie> I haven't confirmed them to be broken, I can add them to the tracker and change the text. |
|
[18:51] <sbeattie> slangasek: you wrote yesterday: |
|
[18:51] <sbeattie> <slangasek> desktop images are still on the edge of being usable for alpha2; there's nothing there to be tested yet |
|
[18:52] <sbeattie> <slangasek> cjwatson is actively working on the ubiquity problems, and we also have to cope with the fact that recommends-by-default has made the ubuntu desktop image 80MB oversized - and kubuntu 200MB oversized :) |
|
[18:52] <sbeattie> Has that changed? |
|
[18:52] <slangasek> ok, so it was based on my own comments, right :) |
|
[18:53] <slangasek> I believe cjwatson iterated through the liveCD images late yesterday to get them working; someone should test to confirm |
|
[18:53] <slangasek> (i.e., we should post them and see if they work) |
|
[18:53] <cjwatson> they should at least boot |
|
[18:53] <cjwatson> on the ubiquity problems, evand is working on that |
|
[18:53] <cjwatson> yesterday's didn't boot |
|
[18:55] <sbeattie> Okay, I'll add them to the iso tracker, but note that it's expected there are ubiquity problems. |
|
[18:59] <sbeattie> "Desktop images are available and should be bootable; however there are known issues with the ubuiquity installer." sound okay? |
|
[19:00] <sbeattie> Well, besdies the obvious speeling erors |
|
[21:50] <slangasek> hrm, who revved the ISOs listed on the tracker (discarding all the previous test results)? |
|
[21:51] * slangasek blahs at the tracker, not letting him restore the previous entries |
|
[21:53] <slangasek> stgraber: is there some way to bring the 20080709 alternate images back to the page, despite having been superseded (in error)? |
|
[22:01] <LaserJock> slangasek: should we not be testing 20080710? |
|
[22:01] <slangasek> LaserJock: no, there haven't been any relevant changes between 20080709 and 20080710 for the alternates, and 20080710 only exists because I neglected to disable the cron jobs in time |
|
[22:02] <LaserJock> hmm |
|
[22:02] <slangasek> and there are already test results for 20080709, there's no reason to discard those in favor of 20080710 |
|
[22:03] <LaserJock> I've just downloaded 10, will that work or should I sync to 09 ? |
|
[22:03] <slangasek> of which image? |
|
[22:03] <LaserJock> all the i386 ones |
|
[22:03] <slangasek> alternates -> please use 09; desktop -> 10 |
|
[22:03] <LaserJock> k |
|
[22:04] <slangasek> and please test desktop first, I'm currently collating the alternate test results for 09 by hand |
|
[22:04] <sbeattie> slangasek: sorry, my bad. |
|
[22:04] <sbeattie> I should've asked first. |
|
[22:05] <stgraber> slangasek: I'm not sure, give me a second to check |
|
[22:05] <slangasek> sbeattie: lesson for the future... :) |
|
[22:05] <LaserJock> slangasek: what about Server, does that need much testing? |
|
[22:05] <slangasek> LaserJock: server has a complete set of tests for the 09 images |
|
[22:05] <LaserJock> ah, ok |
|
[22:05] <slangasek> well, more or less complete |
|
[22:06] <LaserJock> well, I'll start with desktop in any case |
|
[22:06] <sbeattie> LaserJock: The server team has some automation in place to do some basic installs and setup. |
|
[22:06] <stgraber> someone remove them from the tracker so I can't put them back on it |
|
[22:06] <sbeattie> (Or so I've been told, I need to query them about it) |
|
[22:07] <slangasek> they do, yes |
|
[22:07] <sbeattie> stgraber: removed? No, I just added the 0710 builds, but it replaced the 0709 builds. |
|
[22:07] <slangasek> I removed the 0710 builds |
|
[22:07] * sbeattie falls on sword. |
|
[22:08] <slangasek> because that seemed the right way to get rid of them :) |
|
[22:08] <slangasek> but it didn't bring 0709 back |
|
[22:09] <sbeattie> Yeah, I was actually going to suggest that it'd be nice to display both builds when updated ones get added. |
|
[22:10] <slangasek> :notes the line at the bottom of http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/1747/19: "You can't post or edit your result on an archived build or a build being currently rebuilt." |
|
[22:10] <slangasek> so it thinks the build is archived or being rebuilt |
|
[22:14] <stgraber> we used to have archive access and were able to revive builds from that but it's not possible with the current tracker |
|
[22:14] <stgraber> (but it's one of the feature that'll be included in qatracker-ng) |
|
[22:16] <slangasek> ok, so I'll continue collating these tests by hand, thanks |
|
[22:16] * slangasek notes that Kubuntu doesn't seem to be getting much testing so far |
|
[22:16] <slangasek> in any of the image iterations |
|
[22:17] <sbeattie> I thought bdmurray was poking at kubuntu yesterday, but may not wish to fess up to it. |
|
[22:17] <slangasek> heh |
|
[22:18] <slangasek> well, the kubuntu alternates that still need testing are http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/test/1745 and http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/test/1744 |
|
[22:19] * stgraber tried ubuntu alternate manual and LTSP, both failed :( |
|
[22:20] <stgraber> but that was yesterday, I'll try the new builds |
|
[22:20] <slangasek> stgraber: failed how? |
|
[22:20] <slangasek> there haven't been any particular changes between yesterday and today on alternate, AFAIK... |
|
[22:21] <stgraber> manual failing when creating a custom encrypted LVM setup |
|
[22:21] <stgraber> cjwatson is working on a fix for this one |
|
[22:22] <stgraber> and LTSP is failing because ltsp-build-client can't access /cdrom |
|
[22:22] <stgraber> I poked ogra about this one |
|
[22:22] <slangasek> ok; I haven't seen enough progress on either of those to think they'll be fixed for alpha2 |
|
[22:22] <slangasek> feel free to test the 20080710 alternate, but if cjwatson hasn't said the bug is fixed... |
|
[22:22] <LaserJock> hmm, what is the CD check *supposed* to do when it's done? |
|
[22:25] <cjwatson> stgraber: I got it partially fixed this afternoon, but I think maybe not all the way there; the test cycle was fairly long in qemu and I didn't get a chance for a second run to track down the secondary bug I encountered and find out if it was transient or not |
|
[22:26] <cjwatson> LaserJock: prompt with status of check, then reboot |
|
=== asac_ is now known as asac |
|
[22:27] <LaserJock> cjwatson: interesting |
|
[22:27] <LaserJock> I'm trying to Desktop CD tests right now in VMware Player |
|
[22:28] <LaserJock> and both the CD Check and LiveCD part boot into a blank tan screen |
|
[22:28] <cjwatson> do you see usplash at any point? |
|
[22:28] <LaserJock> yeah |
|
[22:29] <LaserJock> it's after usplash |
|
[22:29] <cjwatson> the cd check should never quit usplash |
|
[22:29] <LaserJock> hmm |
|
[22:29] <LaserJock> it was throbbing and then after a while it just went to that blank tan screen |
|
[22:29] <cjwatson> in the desktop CD, the CD check uses usplash as a frontend, and the last thing it does is reboot |
|
[22:29] <LaserJock> CPU seems pegged |
|
[22:29] <cjwatson> mine (qemu) hasn't got past the throbber yet ... hmm |
|
[22:30] <cjwatson> oddly, casper-md5check seems to work fine when run from a shell in the initramfs |
|
[22:37] <cjwatson> I hate trying to debug usplash-level problems |
|
[22:38] <cjwatson> because of course none of your output goes anywhere useful |
|
[23:02] <LaserJock> cjwatson: ok .... I tried again but in qemu and after a long time it reboots and after a long time with the blank tan screen it gets to the desktop |
|
[23:12] <slangasek> stgraber: did the LVM issue have a bug number? |
|
[23:13] <sbeattie> LaserJock: did you get any weird screen artifacts while usplash was on cylon mode/ |
|
[23:13] <stgraber> cjwatson: did you open one ? |
|
[23:13] <sbeattie> s/ on / in / |
|
[23:13] <slangasek> "cylon mode" - heh |
|
[23:14] <stgraber> people are watching too much BSG :) |
|
[23:14] <LaserJock> sbeattie: not in qemu, did get some in VMware Player |
|
[23:14] <sbeattie> stgraber: i haven't seen BSG in 20+ years, but cylons are burned into my brain. |
|
[23:15] <stgraber> hehe |
|
[23:16] <LaserJock> I've never seen BGS or heard of cylons, I just guessed |
|
[23:16] <LaserJock> it's scientifically proven that I'm 80% nerd but only 20% geek |
|
[23:16] <slangasek> stgraber: and has it been tested that LVM+crypt works when using the stock whole-disk encryption option? |
|
[23:17] <stgraber> slangasek: yep, I tried the standard erase disk + encrypted LVM and it worked correctly |
|
[23:17] <slangasek> LaserJock: blink; never having seen it I can understand, but never having heard of cylons, wow |
|
[23:17] <slangasek> stgraber: ok, great |
|
[23:18] <LaserJock> hmmpf, my mouse doesn't work in qemu :/ |
|
[23:19] <LaserJock> I wondered why the Trash was being opened every time I clicked |
|
[23:19] <LaserJock> it's just stuck in the lower right-hand corner of the desktop |
|
[23:21] <sbeattie> LaserJock: I'm seeing the same blank tan screen behavior you are when booting the Desktop disk into CD Check mode. |
|
[23:22] <LaserJock> in real life or a VM? |
|
[23:22] <sbeattie> In a VM. |
|
[23:22] <sbeattie> I'll try in real life. |
|
[23:22] <LaserJock> sbeattie: what kind of VM? |
|
[23:22] <sbeattie> vmware server |
|
[23:23] <LaserJock> interesting |
|
[23:24] <sbeattie> Crud, oversized disk is going to make that harder to do. |
|
[23:24] <stgraber> use DVD+RW, works fine and fast to burn |
|
[23:26] <stgraber> my Sony DVD+RW for ISO testing has been formated + burnt at least 50 times and still work fine :) (never had that kind of result with good old CD-RW) |
|
[23:27] <LaserJock> hmm, you guys seen a complaint about not being able to find the initrd while booting? |
|
[23:27] <LaserJock> right after networking it says it can't find it, that doesn't seem like a good thing |
|
[23:28] <stgraber> I'm download desktop amd64 at the moment but that looks weird, how could it boot without the initrd ? |
|
[23:29] <stgraber> *downloading |
|
[23:33] * stgraber looks at Desktop test results ... I'm not sure we can consider what looks like a VB bug a fail for all those testcases ... |
|
[23:41] <sbeattie> Sigh, not only does my laptop not have a DVD burner, but my crash box is sufficiently elderly enough to not have a DVD drive. |
|
[23:43] <slangasek> stgraber: so on the LVM bug, it looks like parted 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-7ubuntu2 includes the partial fix cjwatson mentioned; should I roll a fresh alternate CD for you to test? |
|
[23:43] <stgraber> would be great yes |
|
[23:44] <slangasek> ok, building |
|
[23:44] <stgraber> sbeattie: no screen artifacts in KVM (so far) |
|
[23:45] <slangasek> stgraber: erm, yes, who is it that's been reporting all these failures? |
|
[23:46] <slangasek> I'm doing an i386 alternate test now, because all the i386 reports were also marked as failures for the same reason |
|
[23:46] <slangasek> so I want to see if the kernel is actually broken for me, or just in vb... |
|
[23:47] <stgraber> hmm, after cylon-mode in Check CD I just get a black screen ... I guess at this point it was supposed to ask me to reboot ? |
|
[23:47] <slangasek> probably |
|
[23:48] <slangasek> stgraber: anyway, is there any way we could get this afflux person to test in an environment that's not known-broken? |
|
[23:49] <stgraber> he's a new tester ... he created his account 5 days ago |
|
[23:49] <stgraber> I'll see if he's on IRC |
|
[23:50] <stgraber> left IRC 30 minutes ago :( |
|
[23:50] <slangasek> well, maybe that means he's done testing for the night ;) |
|
[23:51] <sbeattie> stgraber: I got screen artifacts in cylon-mode right away on my real hardware; I'm now verifying my iso's md5sum |
|
[23:51] <stgraber> sbeattie: ok, I seem to have some problems with testing in KVM here ... |
|
[23:51] <stgraber> after cylon-mode I just get a black screen even when trying a standard boot of the live environment ... |
|
[23:52] <LaserJock> stgraber: that's what I'm getting with VMware Player |
|
[23:52] <LaserJock> or wait |
|
[23:52] <LaserJock> mine isn't black, it's tan |
|
[23:53] <stgraber> well, it doesn't get to the point where the X server starts and you get into gnome ... so not very useful for testing :( |
|
[23:53] <stgraber> I'm trying without usplash now |
|
[23:57] <stgraber> same result, it actually gets black when starting X :( |
|
|
