User1: morning all :-)
User2: Morning all
User2: User3 morning I got another query about the wiki for you.  Can you click on a link and have it import text from somewhere else?  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/System/NetworklessInstall at the bottom are 2 internal links would it be possible to have their text appear on that page rather than transferring the user to the linked page?
User3: User2 Importing text, yes (as you know). Clicking on a link to import text, no. It would require some javascript jiggery-pokery to work.
User2: User3 Okay thanks just a thought
User3: It's do-able though, if you think it would be useful.
User2: ara what do you think
User2: User3 let me try and get hold of heno too
User4: Am I the only one with a segfaulting hald?
User5: updated hardy .2 alternate/server images (sorry - this was to fix bug 253255 which was breaking upgrades from unupgraded 8.04)
User6: Launchpad bug 253255 in ubuntu-cdimage "crash gutsy -> hardy hardy 8.04.1 cdrom upgrade" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/253255
 * ara_ -> lunch
User7: hi guys
User7: this ubuntu will came with something simple to change the compiz effects?
User7: this new ubuntu will have the same look?
 * ara reboots
User2: User3 heno says to leave it as there aren't enough cases to warrant it.  :)
User4: would someone have any clue why hald segfaults on my personal built kernel (2.6.28) and not on the default jaunty one?
User4: it started with the most recent hal update
User2: User4 what desktop are you running?
User4: kde 4.2 beta
User4: but the segfault happens before running X
User4: at rc2
User2: best off asking on the the developer channels and I suggest kubuntu-devel
User4: I don't think it's a kde specific problem but thx anyway
User2: User4 you can try here too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHal
User4: User2 thx, I'll look into that
User5: User8 there was a report on #ubuntu-server that the download links on iso.qa are broken for hardy images
User5: User8 they need to have /hardy inserted in the URL before /daily
User8: yeah, it's a known issue. The ISO tracker has to guess the path to the iso files on cdimage.u.c and doesn't know about point releases
User8: I'm waiting for cr3 to give me a way to get the image list from the certification website so I don't have to rely on some http parsing or similar things on cdimage
 * cjwatson nods
User9: User8 I sent a script to heno and I think you too a long time ago
User8: User9 hmm, let me check.
 * cr3 goes looking through emails
User8: I have no mail from you since at least Oct 25 (last time I purged my .procmail.log)
User9: User8 found my email and you were right, it was only sent to other folks. I'll forward to you
User9: User8 message forwarded with some background information
User10: User11 -server amd64 test results posted - all successfull.
User11: User10 awesome, thanks
User10: User11 -server i386 test results posted - all successfull.
User12: my lord, lots of peeps here :)
User12: so how does one become / sign up for testing of ubuntu, I'm the network admin for a small school and got time and spare machines. I'm running jaunty alpha 3 right now and 8.10 at home and want to help the cause.
User12: well according to the title, i guess im off to mozilla.qa.ubuntu.com :)
User2: User12 goto http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker sign up and setup the tests you want to cover :)
User12: thank you davmor2
User2: sorry for the delay busy testing hardy.2
User12: no prob
User12: hardy .2? as in they are re-releasing it? excuse the noob questions, im new to ubuntu, pretty comfortable with linux though
User12: the versions for ubuntu are abit confusing compaired to the norm, i understand the whole year.month thing... but .2 is odd sounding
User2: hardy is long term support so it is supported for 3 years on desktop and 5 years on server.  So every 6 months they release a point release that has all the packages on that has had bug fixes etc
User12: ahh, that makes sense. so its a security wrap up install. awesome.
User2: yes it's basically in windows terms a cd with the service packs added to it :)
User12: i was going to say service pack / slipstream but don't want to offend...haha
User12: i just happen to have acquired a new dell at home too, so since schools out (i work at a school) i'll be testing this at home also :) one other question, on the testing site how does one actually sign up for a test, or do we just download the CD and then do the test and report on launchpad later or something?
User2: on the link I gave you that acts as a tracker for all the tests that need doing.  Top right there should be a link to sign in.  This uses your lp login.  You then can add tests to your username etc
User2: so alpha 3 testing is over alpha 4 is on the 5th of feb.
User2: so test for that should start around the monday before
User2: but the tracker is setup so it can email you to remind you of the tests you signed up for :)
User12: thats good, because im about to leave work and get home, haha i was just xfering notes to my thumbdrive and was trying to remember this and that...that email will help :) thanks for the help and i'll see ya later when i get home
User2: np's
User2: User8 right so while this is still installing I'll use my other machine as a thin client.  So is there anything I need to do to set up the client other than pxe boot?
User2: User8 what do I need to do to /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf in order to get the server up?
User11: User10 rockstar, thanks
User2: User11 ltsp has installed all the files look to be there. So I'm going to play about a bit and see if I can't get it to run on a machine.  I've passed the tests for now though If they are broken horrifically I'll change it
User11: ok
User8: User2 did you have two NICs at install time ?
User8: if so everything should be working and you should be able to boot a thin client on the LAN NIC
User2: User8 No that would be easy :)
User8: hehe, ok :)
User8: so you'll need to define the network in /etc/network/interfaces, then ifup then start dhcpd
User13: User14 where does it save those debug files, again?
User14: User13 the debug files for the suspend script?
User13: User14 yes, is it in ~?
User2: User8 right figured out what was up it was clashing with my main dhcp box
User2: User11 I got it to boot
User11: the client?
User2: User11 yeap client is running off the ltsp server
User11: spiff
User14: User13 just a sec, I don't remember off the top of my head
User14: User13 did apport not automatically detect the failure?
User11: I think that only leaves server, crypted lvm on amd64?
User14: User13 I think they're saved in /var/lib/pm-utils/
User13: User14 my liveUSB is only persisting /home. I think I might just take the plunge and upgrade.
User2: brb
User2: D'oh missed the ltsp-update-image
User2: Yay
User2: so that's both 32 and 64bit working
User2: Right I'm off to bed now I've had enough excitement for one day
