15:00:12 <pwhalen> #topic roll call
15:00:20 <pwhalen> good morning folks, who's here today?
15:00:30 <jlinton> morning!
15:00:33 * pbrobinson is notionally here
15:01:10 <pwhalen> howdy jlinton
15:01:42 <stellirin> hi
15:01:51 <mcodyre> hello
15:02:29 * pwhalen gives it a couple minutes for others to join
15:03:05 <pwhalen> hello stellirin, mcodyre
15:04:14 <pwhalen> Ok, lets get started.
15:04:15 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:04:29 <pwhalen> any new userspace issues?
15:05:03 <pbrobinson> nothing from me
15:05:50 <pwhalen> Robert from our mailing list found one
15:05:55 <pwhalen> #info unable to log in on arm disk images - no shell: Permission denied
15:05:55 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1656529
15:06:03 <pwhalen> selinux issue
15:06:36 <pwhalen> #info Armv7 guest fails on AArch64 - "cpu.c:906: arm_cpu_realizefn: Assertion no_aa32"
15:06:36 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651348
15:06:51 <jlinton> That was the one I was looking at
15:06:53 <pwhalen> jlinton has been working on the second one, thanks!
15:06:55 <mcodyre> sorry was in a stand up at the office... just happens to be the same time as this meeting
15:07:04 <jlinton> Its not just mustang, its everything
15:07:32 * pbrobinson checks
15:07:44 <pwhalen> ah, I only checked the mustang and havent tested it since
15:07:56 <jlinton> You just need a bleeding edge qemu to have the commit I pointed out that is causing the problem.
15:08:18 <jlinton> I ended up duplicating it on the mcbin
15:08:57 <stellirin> should this also repro on rpi3?
15:09:16 <jlinton> The problem (detecting aarch64 support) is a larger issue that is to long for this format...
15:09:35 <jlinton> aarch64->aarch32
15:09:39 <pbrobinson> jlinton: is that bug due to assumptions for platforms like ThunderX2 where they don't support arm32?
15:09:53 <pwhalen> stellirin, I dont think you'd want to :) it would be painful
15:10:24 <jlinton> Yes, I think the patch was added to detect that case, but its "tricky" to do correctly as the kernel sanitizes the aa64fpr0 in unexpected was
15:10:41 <jlinton> ways.
15:10:45 <stellirin> oke, i always thought aarch64 was not backwards compatible with arrm32
15:11:43 <jlinton> stellirin: It has a 32-bit support mode which is mostly compatible.
15:12:00 <jlinton> (thats aarch32 mode, and its optional)
15:13:59 <pwhalen> any other issues?
15:14:26 <mcodyre> The main issues im facing is with how to put the right bits together to get uboot working with my rock64 board.  Although I'm not sure this is the right channel to aid me with that
15:15:15 <pwhalen> mcodyre, might be better for the #fedora-arm channel, I think people have it working (I dont have one myself)
15:15:38 <mcodyre> sounds good
15:16:03 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:16:10 <pwhalen> #info F29: kernel-4.19.8-300.fc29
15:16:11 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1171225
15:16:34 <pwhalen> I havent tested this yet myself
15:17:46 <pwhalen> if you arent running 4.19.7 already, I would suggest you upgrade to avoid the ext4 file system corruption
15:18:49 <pwhalen> #info F30: kernel-4.20.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc30
15:18:49 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1171248
15:19:02 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:19:12 <mcodyre> so when you say test does that mean running something like https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp against it?
15:19:12 <pwhalen> any seeing any new kernel issues?
15:19:30 <mcodyre> im just trying to figure out a way i can help
15:19:45 <pwhalen> mcodyre, that would be above and beyond.. and awesome! but we'd be happy with a basic boot test too :)
15:20:16 <pwhalen> make sure network works, etc
15:20:23 <mcodyre> ahh cool.. i can try a basic boot test tonight i believe on my odroid c2 or a vm
15:20:25 <jlinton> Yes, just installing it doing some basic use tests frequently can find problems, its quite helpful!
15:22:11 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:22:29 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2019.01-0.1.rc1.fc30
15:22:38 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1168822
15:23:41 <pwhalen> pretty sure this was tested on the rpi3b+, but need to test all the others
15:24:03 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:24:25 <pwhalen> looks like some new devices were enabled as well, pbrobinson anything worth noting?
15:25:46 <pwhalen> any other bootloader news, issues?
15:26:45 <pbrobinson> a few new ones therer
15:27:21 <pbrobinson> the RaspberryPi 3A+, better pinebook and a few others
15:27:37 <pwhalen> right! couldnt recall, thanks.
15:28:18 <pwhalen> #info Support added for RaspberryPi 3A+, better pinebook and a few others in uboot-tools-2019.01-0.1.rc1.fc30.
15:28:37 <pwhalen> #topic 4) == F30 ==
15:28:37 <pwhalen> #info Latest nominated nightly - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
15:29:03 <pwhalen> I ran through some tests yesterday, looked pretty good
15:29:56 <pwhalen> #info Minimal disk image missing initramfs due to space issue. To be investigated.
15:30:28 <pwhalen> all the other disk images should be ok, but let us know if there is a similar issue
15:30:36 <jlinton> It looks like the acpi interrupt direction patch has fallen out (or isn't working anymore on some of the moonshots)
15:32:20 <jlinton> I didn't investigate it much, but it appears the latest rawhide dies somewhere around where earlycon is deactivated on that platform
15:33:16 <pwhalen> ok, good to know. noted. I need to work out access for testing the latest rawhide
15:34:47 <pwhalen> anything else for f30?
15:36:02 <pwhalen> #topic 5)  == Open Floor ==
15:36:30 <stellirin> Any chance you found time to look at my PXE issue?
15:38:39 <pwhalen> stellirin, I have not. I plan to though, it would be great to automate hardware testing.
15:39:45 <pwhalen> I will be on PTO next week and not available for the meetings until next year
15:39:53 <stellirin> oke, just let me know if you need anything from me
15:40:42 <pwhalen> I say we take a break, schedule the next meeting for January 8th. Thoughts?
15:40:53 <pwhalen> will do stellirin
15:40:55 <jlinton> Sounds good to me
15:41:11 <jlinton> I will likely be out too.
15:41:33 <pwhalen> I know pbrobinson is also on PTO (think he is now even :/)
15:41:38 <pwhalen> ok, thanks jlinton
15:41:57 <pwhalen> #info Next Fedora ARM meeting - January 8th, 2019
15:42:49 <mcodyre> Sounds good to me...
15:43:00 <mcodyre> Have a great holiday everyone!
15:43:51 <mcodyre> When I test the new kernel do i drop a line to let you all know ive looked at it and what have i done?
15:43:59 <pwhalen> you too! and ask in channel about the pine64 (and lurk it might take a while to get an answer)
15:44:10 <mcodyre> thanks !
15:44:28 <pwhalen> sure, dropping a note in channel would be great.
15:44:33 <mcodyre> soudns good
15:44:39 <pwhalen> thanks mcodyre
15:44:56 * pwhalen will close the meetign in a couple of minutes if no one has anything else
