15:00:22 <zodbot> Current chairs: jlinton pbrobinson pwhalen
15:00:36 <pwhalen> Good morning folks, who's here today?
15:00:37 * jlinton waves
15:00:43 <pwhalen> howdy jlinton
15:01:07 * pbrobinson is here
15:03:29 <pwhalen> alright, lets get started
15:03:32 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:04:18 <jlinton> I guess this is where I mention I have a PAC rebuild of fedora
15:04:42 <jlinton> its working fine on 8.1 hardware, nothing really seems broken
15:05:07 <pwhalen> PAC rebuild?
15:05:20 <jlinton> On the 8.4 model, i'm having some issues which presumably are firmware related and am still debugging
15:05:28 <jlinton> Pointer authentication
15:06:43 <pbrobinson> OK, good news
15:07:02 <pbrobinson> we have a little run way to get that in place for F-33
15:08:55 <pwhalen> jlinton, do I remember correctly that you were using a seattle for a desktop at one point?
15:08:58 <jlinton> Its actually being built with -mbranch-protection=standard
15:09:20 <jlinton> Yes, I've still got it running, but have been on a TX2 for a while now
15:09:45 <jlinton> although, the plan was to assure honeycomb makes a reasonable replacement, but that is another story...
15:10:00 <pwhalen> jlinton, cool, thanks. Going to do the same to do desktop testing
15:10:24 <pwhalen> #info No issues reported.
15:10:26 <jlinton> Yah, its a bit hit/miss at the moment depending on the machine+video card
15:10:47 <pwhalen> right, ok.
15:10:50 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:11:01 <pwhalen> #info F32: kernel-5.6.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc32
15:11:01 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1473120
15:11:33 <pwhalen> just started to test rc4, has anyone seen any problems?
15:13:15 <pwhalen> #info kernel panic on Penguin Computing Valkre 2040 Gigabyte Blade ARM (CN88xx)
15:13:22 <pbrobinson> I've tested like 2 devices
15:13:23 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1807668
15:13:47 <pwhalen> will check RC4 with that device
15:14:24 <jlinton> I can almost guarantee that crash will go away if you disable DT
15:15:00 <jlinton> I don't think anyone is seriously testing thunderX's with anything other than ACPI
15:15:36 <pwhalen> jlinton, c#4 he tried it and it crashed
15:15:40 <jlinton> Or maybe not (see farther into the defect)
15:15:42 <pbrobinson> and we don't recommend it, it's the shitty firmware that actually ships it
15:16:59 <pbrobinson> pwhalen: can you add that BZ blocking to the tracker too pls
15:17:18 <pwhalen> pbrobinson, yep
15:18:15 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:19:56 <pwhalen> sorry, bugzilla is really slow
15:20:09 <pwhalen> #info garbled text on aarch64 when using vnc
15:20:17 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1807661
15:20:39 <pwhalen> I also filed this against the kernel, affecting our automated testing.
15:22:18 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:23:18 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2020.04-0.4.rc3.fc32
15:23:26 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1471595
15:24:57 <pwhalen> any other bootloader news? issues?
15:25:07 <jlinton> pftf is making regular release now, the 1.x ones will boot existing fedora release from USB with unaccelerated graphics/etc.
15:25:17 <jlinton> https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/releases
15:25:23 <pbrobinson> meh
15:25:32 <jlinton> hehe
15:25:55 <pbrobinson> no graphics, HATs, does it have wifi and bluetooth?
15:26:00 <jlinton> I think the DT path just got cleaned up
15:26:02 <jlinton> it has graphics
15:26:43 <jlinton> For sure in ACPI mode it doesn't have wifi or bluetooth, or a bunch of other stuff, you get disk+network+graphics+usb3
15:27:36 <jlinton> no PXE yet either, but that should be on its way
15:27:45 <pbrobinson> which means the world and their dog will moan
15:28:01 <jlinton> usb3->wifi adapter?
15:28:09 <pbrobinson> what's the quote of jcm? Cute little nonsense hack? :-P
15:28:22 <pwhalen> heh
15:28:53 <pwhalen> still pretty cool. And definitely coming along.
15:29:03 <pbrobinson> right, it's a nice hack
15:29:09 <jlinton> well..
15:29:13 <jlinton> hack it is.
15:29:42 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== Fedora 32 ====
15:30:00 <pwhalen> #info Latest nominated nightly
15:30:01 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
15:30:43 <pwhalen> so far looking ok.
15:31:09 <pwhalen> #info bootloader entry missing after installation on armhfp
15:31:18 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1807252
15:31:29 <pwhalen> this should be fixed in the next anaconda.
15:32:41 <pwhalen> an accepted FE, blocker status was deferred to fesco. Some questions about whether the installer is release blocking on armhfp
15:33:14 <pwhalen> #info F32 Beta Blockers
15:33:20 <pwhalen> #link https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/32/beta/buglist
15:34:42 <pwhalen> Has anyone hit issues not listed?
15:35:12 <pwhalen> Note, for F32 Workstation on AArch64 is release blocking. Xfce is no longer blocking on armhfp
15:36:09 <pwhalen> #info F32 Beta release(target) - 2020-03-17
15:36:37 <pwhalen> anything else for F32?
15:38:00 <pwhalen> #topic 5)  == Open Floor ==
15:39:11 <pwhalen> anything for open floor?
