There isn't one for EFI booting. Is this blocking? Presently GRUB Legacy EFI on TC2 does not have such a utility. 17:21:46 it could be, the GRUB EFI menus are certainly more sparse than the syslinux ones 17:22:57 cmurf: can you file a bug against grub and mark it as blocking 752650 ? 17:23:08 yep 17:23:13 thanks 17:23:18 well, I give up for today 17:23:32 #info Not enough attendees for quorum 17:23:52 #info Rescheduling again for 2012-05-02 @ 17:00 UTC 17:24:14 what component? 17:24:21 cmurf: grub 17:24:41 oh right 8-\ silly 17:25:55 cpuobsessed: you still around 17:26:04 yesh 17:26:19 * cpuobsessed sets his drink down 17:26:43 sounds like we have a third person for ~ 40 minutes - I figure that getting a few of the blockers out of the way will help 17:27:44 strike up the band! 17:27:52 * cpuobsessed stumbles over his chair 17:28:22 fortunately work is slow 17:28:35 well, I thought that jsmith would be joining us 17:29:30 let's get the boilerplate out of the way 17:29:46 #topic Introduction 17:29:56 #info Our purpose in this meeting is to review proposed blocker and nice-to-have bugs and decide whether to accept them, and to monitor the progress of fixing existing accepted blocker and nice-to-have bugs. 17:30:11 Following the process of: 17:30:14 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting 17:30:27 The F17 release criteria are: 17:30:34 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Final_Release_Criteria 17:30:44 I'll be working off of the following list of bugs: 17:30:51 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers 17:31:06 I know we're not going to get through all of this today, but for the sake of record ... 17:31:14 #info 25 proposed blockers 17:31:14 #info 11 accepted blockers 17:31:14 #info 10 proposed blockers 17:31:24 holy crap 17:31:26 Let's get started with the proposed blockers 17:31:42 cpuobsessed: no kidding, that's why I want to get this list pared down :/ 17:31:48 #topic (816509) 'Updates' notification not showing up in Gnome (F17 TC1) 17:31:51 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816509 17:31:54 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:32:08 this seems like a pretty clear blocker to me 17:32:38 especially considering the fact that i am running f17-tc2 and haven't seen the updates notification 17:32:54 proposed #agreed - 816509 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta release criterion "The default update manager in release-blocking desktops must not periodically check for updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check for updates when running on an installed system" 17:32:59 ack/nak/patch? 17:33:09 ack 17:34:41 i just ran software update and have 50 updates, and no notifications in any tray 17:35:00 definitely a bug 17:35:05 cpuobsessed: can you add that to the bug when you get a chance? 17:35:23 installation method, how long ago you installed, which desktop you're using etc. 17:35:29 jsmith: you there? 17:35:35 np 17:35:41 thanks 17:37:16 well, this is an obvious blocker - I guess that 2 acks will work 17:37:25 #agreed - 816509 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta release criterion "The default update manager in release-blocking desktops must not periodically check for updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check for updates when running on an installed system" 17:37:56 * tflink is looking for more obvious blockers 17:38:18 816238 17:38:36 updated 816509 17:38:47 cpuobsessed: thanks 17:38:49 tflink, it happned with me on fedora 16 but is it really a bug 17:39:18 816701 should also be uncontroversial obvious blocker 17:40:35 cmurf: i don't believe so 17:40:43 cmurf: I see where you're coming from but not sure I agree - it doesn't clearly violate any release criteria 17:40:51 i have a bios system and having gpt table didn't affect anything 17:40:57 akshayvyas: you mean the lack of updates notifications? 17:41:09 tflink yep 17:41:31 cpuobsessed: it's a conditional violation - there are a bunch of systems out there (mostly laptops IIRC) that can't handle gpt+non-EFI 17:41:39 there are too many machines that do have problems with GPT, and the blacklisting isn't working 17:41:59 and the consequence of reversion is zero 17:42:07 i was speaking from my perspective, my system is quite old 17:42:08 akshayvyas: why do you think that it isn't a bug? 17:42:25 yeah, I think that the GPT thing will likely be a blocker 17:42:26 tflink: i think more data is needed 17:42:32 i might happen due to t network 17:42:42 cpuobsessed: there is a bunch of data, it's just not in the bug 17:43:57 how can i tell if i have gpt table? bios boot partition? 17:44:12 parted -l 17:44:15 cpuobsessed: either that or use parted/fdisk 17:44:19 disklabel either GPT or MSDOS 17:44:27 fdisk will complain if you have GPT and parted will tell you 17:44:43 cmurf: you interested in sticking around for some blocker review? 17:44:52 for a bit 17:45:12 cool, then we can keep going. just let us know when you leave :) 17:45:18 gpt 17:45:44 #topic (806166) Installation using DVD ISO dd'd to USB can't use USB as installation source 17:45:46 core2duo compaq 6910p; just me of course 17:45:47 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806166 17:45:50 #info Proposed Blocker, ON_QA 17:46:00 paf, i thought they fixed 17:46:13 I'm +1 blocker on this even though it should be fixed 17:46:39 ATM, dd is the only supported method for creating USB install media for non-fedora linux and OSX 17:46:40 +1 blocker 17:46:41 it's not working for EFI i can vouch for that 17:46:46 i mostly use dvd-rw now but have used usb; which most people probably do for testing 17:47:07 ack 17:48:06 What's the criteria for dd, I'm not finding anything that literally requires that method. Although it makes sense for the reasons mentioned already. 17:48:28 yeah, I was just looking 17:48:44 iirc the install was supposed to be updated 17:48:46 I thought that there was a USB criterion 17:49:33 not finding it in alpha, beta, or final 17:49:52 proposed #agreed - 806166 - AcceptedBlocker - Conditional violation of the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options" for USB media created with dd 17:50:20 proposed #agreed - 806166 - AcceptedBlocker - Conditional violation of the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options" for USB media created with dd - Since dd is the only currently supported method for USB install media creation for non-fedora linux and OSX, judged to be a blocker 17:51:27 ack 17:52:01 i tried both realese alpha and beta on usb but it was live cd 17:52:36 yeah, this particular issue is for non-live DVDs during installation 17:53:17 On 806166 has anyone tested this with TC2 since anaconda-17.23-1 should have fixed this (the EFI non-bootability probably still makes it block but that's not what this bug is about) 17:53:56 cmurf: the EFI issue for DVDs is known, not sure what the bug is but that's an issue w/ pungi 17:54:16 mkhybridiso isn't being run 17:54:38 I think that's the command, anyways. The resultant DVD isn't hybrid-ized for EFI 17:56:03 OK so procedural question: you block something if it violates requirements even if it's not clear whether the problem still occurs or not? 17:56:04 any other ack/nak/patch on the proposal? 17:56:47 yes. whether the issue is release blocking or not is solely depenent on the impact of the issue 17:56:56 got it 17:57:00 if it is indeed fixed, it'll just be closed 17:57:05 ack 17:57:31 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816410 this ne is fr uefi 17:58:06 so we're not here to determine if it's fixed, just whether it's blocking 17:58:13 yep 17:58:39 just waiting for another ack before moving on 17:59:16 akshayvyas: that's for livecds, the issue with installation DVDs is different 18:00:16 ACK 18:00:31 #agreed - 806166 - AcceptedBlocker - Conditional violation of the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options" for USB media created with dd - Since dd is the only currently supported method for USB install media creation for non-fedora linux and OSX, judged to be a blocker 18:00:57 #topic (815827) Connection to root iSCSI disk is disrupted during boot 18:01:00 read: netbook or other device without optical drive 18:01:00 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815827 18:01:02 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 18:01:11 this is another by-the-books-blocker 18:01:18 * cpuobsessed doesn't know what iSCSI is 18:01:23 many of the media booting bugs need cleaned up titles. including candidate numbers is annoying. 18:01:36 violates the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to complete an installation using any network-attached storage devices (e.g. iSCSI, FCoE, Fibre Channel)" 18:01:49 so be it 18:01:53 ack 18:01:58 cpuobsessed: it's a method of presenting a block storage device (disk) over the network 18:01:58 Yes, obvious blocker. 18:02:07 +1 blocker 18:02:28 proposed #agreed - 815827 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to complete an installation using any network-attached storage devices (e.g. iSCSI, FCoE, Fibre Channel)" 18:02:32 ack/nak/patch? 18:02:33 ACK 18:02:40 ack 18:02:43 haha am i voting? 18:02:57 cmurf: you're just slow, vote 18:02:57 cmurf: anyone here can vote 18:03:02 ack 18:03:06 #agreed - 815827 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to complete an installation using any network-attached storage devices (e.g. iSCSI, FCoE, Fibre Channel)" 18:03:12 * cpuobsessed pats cmurf on the back 18:03:30 is iSCSI software or hardware dependent 18:03:50 its both its actully network dependent 18:03:52 cpuobsessed: you can use either software or hardware for iscsi 18:03:55 both, but primarily software initiator 18:04:21 #topic (816238) upgrade using boot.iso destroys EFI boot 18:04:21 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816238 18:04:21 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 18:04:21 prolly not good to try on wifi g 18:04:42 cpuobsessed: no, I'd suggest using iSCSI over a wired network if possible 18:04:56 tflink agree 18:05:04 aight 18:05:26 i've only got one efi machine; and i've put chromeos back on it 18:05:53 but i think its god to tempery mount iscsi insted of making fstab entry 18:06:05 +1 block on 816238 18:06:13 akshayvyas: depends on your setup, I think 18:06:30 if you have a stable network, I don't see any problems w/ having a statically mounted iSCSI lun 18:07:01 I question the wisdom of ever booting from SAN/NAS but people do it 18:07:08 tflink yes but it needs proper conf 18:07:37 dracut is realy good about mounting iSCSI luns @ boot and it tends not to be much of an issue 18:07:53 well, dracut/systemd - it depends on which mount point we're talking about 18:08:20 hello 816238? 18:08:29 bcl: I'm hoping that you're here for the EFI upgrade issue? 18:08:41 cmurf: I was waiting for some input from the anaconda devs 18:08:55 I'd rather not take this as a blocker without their input 18:09:21 yeah, reading now. 18:11:10 I'm probably +1 blocker on this, though 18:11:59 seems like this belongs to grub2 or grubby, not anaconda. But it does look like a blocker to me -- upgrade your EFI system and can't boot is pretty clear. 18:12:38 yeah, as adam put it - ignoring the bootloader should actually ignore the bootloader 18:12:46 we also need to make sure all the grub2 tools are available in rescue. 18:13:04 (there may be a bug for that, I'm still catching up) 18:13:20 this is on an EFI system though? 18:13:32 oh yeah, I still don't understand that one. I couldn't reproduce those claims 18:13:47 cmurf: yeah, EFI so it would be grub or grubby 18:14:03 * jsmith finishes reading the bug details 18:14:13 I'm confused because reproduce step 1 says to EFI boot, yet step 5 complains there's no grub*-install which is a GRUB2 thing 18:14:33 I'll give it a try here if I have time today and see if I can nail it down more. 18:14:38 Yeah, I guess I'm think this is +1 blocker, but it's certainly a bit vague 18:14:42 Could use some more research 18:14:44 And Fedora is not using grub2-efi 18:14:48 I wonder if the complaint is that there is no grub*-install in the chroot 18:14:51 * jsmith would be OK with punting it to a later meeting as well 18:15:00 cmurf: I took that as meaning that tools for both grub versions are missing. 18:15:16 i did the exact same thing on non-efi and it worked 18:15:21 OK 18:15:35 I've tried it recently on EFI and the tools do exist outside the installed system on the boot.iso 18:15:55 ok, good. 18:16:04 but agreed that the tools part could probably use more testing - it's the "changing stuff it's not supposed to" part that worries me 18:16:13 yeah i agree 18:16:39 adding tools is a template change in lorax so should be as safe as anything. 18:17:11 However, question: Is it a requirement that upgrades must either successfully upgrade or do no harm, to a system that has alpha or beta release on it? 18:17:30 oh, I see what you mean. Well, grubby doesn't know that you said not to change things, so it does whatever it normally does when updating the kernel. 18:17:44 proposed #agreed - 816238 - AcceptedBlocker - Conditional violation of F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria" where the upgraded system is EFI and t 18:18:06 afaict upgrades are from previous release to new release 18:18:07 My question has been answered never mind. 18:18:07 cmurf: I'd say not really. I'm mostly concerned with upgrades from f16. 18:19:11 nack 18:19:18 I see the alphas/betas as entirely expendable installs, personally. 18:19:21 proposed #agreed - 816238 - AcceptedBlocker - Conditional violation of F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria" where the upgraded system is EFI and t 18:19:28 cpuobsessed: patch? 18:19:31 ack 18:20:01 if it can be reproduced from an updated f16 install 18:21:00 if it turns out that F16->F17 upgrade is not affected, we can remove blocker status 18:21:05 all the notes indicate the upgrade was from one F17 to another; not a previoues F16 18:21:07 or we can punt until more testing is done 18:21:14 punt 18:21:41 any other votes? 18:21:55 how about issue needinfo and keep it as a blocker 18:22:10 I could go either way, honestly 18:22:10 if no new info next round, give it the boot print 18:22:28 doesn't meet the criteria for blocker 18:22:29 it needs more testing to clarify impact and all of the claims 18:22:46 I'd like to know for sure if it happens when upgrading from f16. it probably does though. 18:22:49 it's already accepted as a blocker 18:22:49 tflink: +1 18:22:58 ok, I'm fine with punting 18:23:04 Oh nevermind i can't read - sorry 18:23:09 nmi 18:24:03 proposed #agreed - 816238 - This appears to be a blocker but more testing is needed before we can come to a decision - Does this affect 16 to 17 upgrades and are the claimed missing tools actually missing?

I think this is fixed in TC2 honestly. 18:40:11 proposed #agreed - 815748 - It sounds like the issue could be fixed with an update but this needs testing with the systemd/ntp/chrony updates - unless those updated don't fix the issue, will reject as a blocker for F17 final 18:40:27 ack 18:40:28 proposed #agreed - 815748 - It sounds like the issue could be fixed with an update but this needs testing with the systemd/ntp/chrony updates - unless those updates don't fix the issue, will reject as a blocker for F17 final 18:40:32 typo 18:41:02 ack 18:42:04 ps x | grep chrony 18:42:07 should that work 18:42:28 systemctl status chronyd.service would be better, I think 18:42:53 any other votes? 18:42:56 pa aux | grep chrony i will g with cmurf 18:43:00 ps aux | grep chrony I've got it 18:43:00 :) 18:43:30 it's running, and systemd reports its status as active 18:43:35 i'm running F17-TC2 and chrony is working 18:43:40 this is TC2, time enabled with firstboot 18:43:50 same here 18:44:02 if you could add the reports to the bug, that would be awesome 18:44:39 i think that because of the way chrony works, just because it says disabled in date/time settings; doesn't mean it's not running 18:45:02 +1 cpuobsessed 18:45:04 I suppose that would be the part about the panel not working 18:45:26 updated bug 18:45:52 +1 tflink 18:46:11 any more votes on the proposal? 18:46:15 I see one ack 18:46:19 nack 18:46:25 cpuobsessed: patch? 18:46:29 patch 18:46:37 yes patch 18:46:41 i ack'd twice but it's moot, it's fixed 18:47:21 maybe but at the moment, we're looking at the impact of the issue - not whether it's fixed or not :) 18:47:34 cpuobsessed: what do you propose for a patch? 18:49:20 wait, what does patch mean? patch will fix or patch to proposal 18:50:01 patch means that you have a change to the proposal 18:51:21 oh, then i stand by nack 18:51:54 cpuobsessed: ok, what part of the proposal do you not like? 18:52:22 i still don't feel it meets any blocking criteria 18:53:52 network time is not in critical path? 18:53:54 ntp/chrony is not required to work, the panel still displays the correct time 18:54:47 if it were the case (which it's not) that network time non-functioning on install, could not be fixed with a future stable update, it would be a disaster. 18:55:01 the proposal only blocks if it can't be fixed with an update 18:55:17 which it appears that it can 18:55:35 appears it can be fixed with an update, but also appears to be working and not need an update 18:55:40 so i agree with the proposal 18:56:05 but you're right that there doesn't appear to be any 100% clear violation of the release criteria 18:56:34 but like cmurf said, as long as it can be fixed by an update, it would be rejected as a blocker 18:56:47 if it can't be fixed as an update, we'll end up re-visiting it 18:57:02 i'm not going by release criteria, i'm going by "final block bugs" under the criteria 18:57:03 tflink: i see why you didn't want to look at this one 18:57:08 tflink +1 18:57:28 my opinion, not a blocker 18:57:49 so we have 2 acks (including me) and one nak 18:58:05 akshayvyas: you have an opinion on the proposal? 18:58:09 are we deadlocked? 18:58:38 network time is sure in a critical path package 18:58:39 no, I just prefer to have more than a one vote margin if possible 18:58:52 if it is, and it cannot be fixed, that clearly is blocker 18:59:09 cmurf: good point 18:59:41 Any criticalpath bug that can't be fixed with an update is a blocker 18:59:51 sorry, I appear to be slow ATM - you said that before 19:00:21 i think it will be fixed in update 19:00:24 i don't know if network time is critical path but if it is and can't be fixed with an update, totally a blocker 19:00:33 i think it's fixed now, it's in TC2, not a bug 19:00:52 according to http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/branched-20120401/logs/critpath.txt neither chrony or ntp is there 19:01:29 surprising 19:01:33 honestly, I just want to be done with this since it appears to be fixed anyways 19:01:40 out of sync time causes lots of problems 19:01:47 and any decision is pretty much a moot point 19:01:51 well then punt and move on 19:02:02 I tried that but got naked 19:02:14 oh really? 19:02:22 interesting response 19:02:35 punt 19:03:07 cpuobsessed: you're the one nak-ing 19:03:13 :-P 19:03:21 cpuobsessed:: it seems like ntpd is nt enabled on bt 19:03:25 boot 19:03:38 is it possible this is only an i686 bug? 19:03:47 i'm on x86_64 and it works 19:03:49 aight ack it 19:04:25 * cpuobsessed changes to ack but with reservations 19:04:31 proposed #agreed - 815748 - It sounds like the issue could be fixed with an update but this needs testing with the systemd/ntp/chrony updates before a decision is made.

The ebuild will warn you if your kernel is missing the required options 19:31:31 thats what i see here 16.884325] dracut Warning: no suitable images 19:32:04 that's probably a consequence of the nfs line in the kickstat 19:33:18 so it gets the kickstart file off nfs, but it's having a problem finding repo images? 19:33:25 i think the kickstart file is needed 19:33:37 it's like it's not finding this nfs location 19:33:48 maybe but I'd rather the anaconda devs decide that one 19:33:49 yet it found the nfs location for the ks file 19:34:01 does enabling initramfs will solve theissue 19:34:07 which is on the same server as the repo 19:34:29 akshayvyas: enabling the initramfs? I don't think you can disable it w/ the installer 19:34:48 no initramfs == no installer 19:35:02 since anaconda is embedded into the initramfs of the installation iso 19:35:08 heck this could be a permissions problem 19:35:17 could not mount 19:35:28 and then it doesn't find the repo because the path doesn't mount 19:35:30 nmi 19:35:30 tflink agree 19:36:07 nmi, punt 19:36:31 call me cynic but it's suspiciously light that it makes me wondering if it's proposed as blocker just to get attention/support 19:36:42 suspiciously light on report details 19:37:22 tflink: if you say ack, then i'll ack 19:38:14 i agree as proposed 19:38:18 proposed #agreed - 816867 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta release criterion "The installer must be able to successfully complete a scripted installation, using the installer's preferred scripting system, which duplicates the default interactive installation as closely as possible" - the use of nfs in a kickstart is a documented option and the kickstart is on the same NFS server as the repo specified 19:38:24 i just think there's a good chance this is not a bug 19:38:26 user error 19:38:28 going strictly by criteria it's a blocker, if it turns out something else is to blame (setup/config on server) then it'll be closed at notabug 19:38:35 not sure if that's right, but I didn't want to delete it 19:38:36 yeah 19:38:52 I wonder if thie repo is properly formed 19:38:52 ack 19:38:58 ack 19:39:15 looks like it 'couldn't mount" the repo location though 19:39:35 which is what is making me think that this is another incarnation of "you're not using a complete repo" 19:39:40 we can let anaconda/dracut decide 19:39:40 which did change for F17 19:39:40 gotcha 19:39:50 yep that's probably it 19:40:09 now to completely contradict myself from earlier and a third proposal 19:40:26 ...and now for something completely different 19:40:30 :D 19:41:03 proposed #agreed - 816867 - We need more information before deciding whether or not this is a blocker - is a _complete_ repo (with images etc.) being used? 19:41:20 so, punt - I suspect this is a dupe at best 19:41:39 ack 19:41:45 this preferred over previous proposal 19:42:37 I promise this is the last one for this bug :) 19:43:26 ack 19:43:47 #agreed - 816867 - We need more information before deciding whether or not this is a blocker - is a _complete_ repo (with images etc.) being used? 19:45:05 tflink : +1 19:45:30 #topic (799667) [abrt] gnome-settings-daemon-3.3.90.1-1.fc17: g_logv: Process /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon was killed by signal 5 (SIGTRAP) 19:45:33 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799667 19:45:35 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 19:45:46 I don't think that there is much to say on this one 19:46:58 proposed #agreed - 799667 - Still no response from devs, no new reports for a while.

I just checked. 19:55:14 So I'm with adamw, it's not all wacom tablets. It's not just a particular tablet, it's a particular pen and tablet. 19:55:15 someone may have a tablet plugged in to their system when trying a livecd 19:55:30 And work arounds are in effect, so maybe the live media doesn't get the fix but won't affect all wacom users anyway. 19:55:36 yep cmurf its live 19:56:30 so what are the votes on blocker? 19:56:50 * tflink votes punt for another week, see if there are more reports 19:56:54 i'm on the fence. if it weren't for this in the last comment "These were very popular among the "low-end" wacom tablets so the affected users 19:56:54 could be numerous.

If there are no new reports on this bug by next week - will assume that the hardware is not incredibly common and will reject as a blocker 20:00:49 ack 20:01:13 ack 20:01:27 how are you all feeling WRT time?

20:13:19 #topic Open Floor 20:13:27 #info The list isn't fully reviewed but 3 hours is enough for one day 20:13:31 unrelated question: some of these fail boot/install media bugs have titles that include "TC1" and "RC3" etc which is annoying, is there a way to get those cleaned up? redo the titles? 20:13:33 #info May have another blocker review meeting before friday 20:13:42 #action tflink to translate meeting agreements into bugzilla 20:14:28 cmurf: sure, it's possible but the TC1 or RC3 can be useful information 20:14:57 I assume that you're talking about stuff like #811438 20:15:07 seems like that should be in the version line rather than in the title 20:15:22 yes 20:15:37 some of them could be removed, yes 20:16:01 811438 is a bad example since that refers to a specific version of a specific spin 20:16:07 yeah i understand 20:16:12 i'm thinking more of the EFI boot bugs 20:16:27 USB vs DVD vs Live vs dd'd vs livecd-iso-to-disk 20:16:30 yeah, I should have chosen my example better 20:16:45 i'd like a standardized title because right now it's a CF 20:16:49 gotta read more on efi its really a mystry to me ryt noe :0 20:16:51 I guess that I'm of the opinion that it's better to leave well enough alone unless its inaccurate 20:17:04 if we go changing the titles, it might look like different bugs 20:17:19 akshayvyas: it sucks, lots of problems, huge numbers of bugs, and more code than base linux kernel 20:17:22 which is insane 20:17:27 and if we wanted to correct all of the suboptimal bug titles ... good luck :) 20:17:48 yep i agree cmurf 20:17:58 tflink :) 20:18:11 yeah i was mostly asking about protocol. i dunno if i have privilege to edit other people's titles but at least the EFI booting ones I could standardize, i'll ask adamw if i continue to be irritated by it enough. 20:18:49 actually it may be an mjg question, if he's not irritated, i should let it go 20:19:53 if the devs aren't complaining, I'm fine with leaving the titles alone - less autmated email :) 20:20:03 i'll probably get lazy and leave it alone. gonna go cut some more tomatoes. 20:20:19 lazy can be good some times :) 20:20:32 anyhow, if there are no other topics, I'll set the fuse for ~ 5 minutes 20:20:45 i'm out 20:20:46 cya 20:21:04 thanks again for your help, everyone! 20:21:20 tflink: Sorry I kept getting pulled away :-( 20:21:26 it's very much appreciated 20:21:34 cya sleep time ,nice to meet you all tflink ,cmurf and cpuobsessed 20:21:35 jsmith: no worries, it happens 20:21:48 akshayvyas: good night 20:22:02 thanks tflink :) 20:22:04 cya 20:23:13 eh, 3 minutes is close enough to 5 ... 20:23:24 * tflink will send out minutes and secretarialize shortly 20:23:27 #endmeeting
