I know folks are busy with testing, so I won't chew up a lot of time 16:03:18 robatino: welcome :) 16:03:25 let's get started ... 16:03:32 #topic Previous meeting follow-up 16:03:50 We had no concrete action items from our last meeting ... 16:03:55 but we did have a follow-up from Viking-Ice 16:04:03 #info Viking-Ice - solicit feedback on test@lists.fedoraproject.org to see whether we need to require only bugzilla.redhat.com use during test days 16:04:19 Viking-Ice: I'm behind on my list updates this morning, so apologies if you already posted something 16:04:37 forward it to next week I have not finished a proper proposal yet 16:04:53 Even thou I mentioned a bit my point of view on this on the desktop list 16:04:53 Viking-Ice: okay, will do ... let's keep this for next week 16:05:42 Viking-Ice: anything you wanted to #link here? 16:07:12 well, if so ... I can add it to the minutes later 16:07:20 No not really it was more of different perspective between maintainers side and reporters side 16:07:26 okay 16:07:31 * CRCinAU yawns and proposes that meetings be at a reasonable hour of the day - not 3am ;) 16:07:36 #topic F-15-Alpha testing update 16:07:41 CRCinAU: here's to that! 16:08:10 #info Quite a long blocker review meeting last week - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-February/097187.html 16:08:18 thanks to all who attended and helped us move through the bugs 16:08:31 I suspect we'll need to adjust and not review *all* of the proposed blockers during the meeting 16:08:37 that was just too darned long for this early in the game 16:09:16 We are down to 1 approved installer blocker that appears during live image installs 16:09:19 #link http://bit.ly/f15-alpha-blocker-accepted 16:09:38 and then there are a small number of proposed blockers 2 installer, 1 mutter being considered 16:09:41 #link http://bit.ly/f15-alpha-blocker-proposed 16:09:44 * CRCinAU would like to propose that blocker emails actually include the title of the bug with the bug number and URL. 16:09:53 jlaska: if this happens only when users manually change the hostname then I dont think it's an blocker 16:10:07 Viking-Ice: I'd agree, I don't think that was the case when I reproduced last week 16:10:12 iirc, the default value for me was causing a failure 16:10:15 whoops sorry wrong bug I think 16:10:23 but if that isn't hte case ... it's an okay workaround for that live image hostname bug 16:10:26 imo at least 16:10:33 CRCinAU: which emails? 16:10:41 CRCinAU: when people propose blocker bugs to test@ ? 16:10:43 as linked: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-February/097187.html 16:10:59 CRCinAU: you want the bug# of every bug in the email subject? 16:11:08 oh oh ... nm 16:11:09 for example: 16:11:10 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677131 (jlaska, 17:21:21) 16:11:10 * AGREED: 677131 - Accepted as Alpha NTH, rejected as Alpha blocker 16:11:11 (jlaska, 17:24:37) 16:11:11 you want the bug summary included 16:11:20 no idea what it is or what its about to look at 16:11:26 CRCinAU: good point 16:11:45 so what tying meeting topics to the bug in question*? 16:11:47 no idea if its something I've encountered, or even something that I might want to look at and test 16:12:08 I'll update the SOP (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting) noting this ... and I'll try to remember to add an #info for each bug summary so it shows up in the minutes 16:12:30 * CRCinAU nods 16:12:34 that would be fantastic! 16:12:35 #action jlaska - review blocker bug meeting SOP and add include bug summary by way of #info for each bug 16:12:46 * jlaska looks at alpha schedule 16:13:01 #info Fedora 15 QA schedule - http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-15/f-15-quality-tasks.html 16:13:26 The Go/No Go meeting is scheduled for 17:00 EDT this Wednesday 16:13:49 and we don't yet have an RC ... so if we were to shake the magic eight ball ... 16:13:54 signs are not looking good 16:14:09 * rbergeron makes a sadface 16:14:17 if these installer issues are resolved today, and we have updated ISO media ... I think it still makes sense to get cracking 16:14:20 Alpha RC was supposed to be out on 17th 16:14:24 and see what we can accomplish 16:14:27 kparal: yup :( 16:14:48 well another show stopper is the radeon bugs 16:15:00 the mutter bug? 16:15:10 Has it been decided that the kernel will be 2.6.37 as yet? 16:15:25 * CRCinAU is curious as to how this will play out with Xen Dom0 support for F15 - or if it will be pushed back to F16. 16:15:37 why .37? 16:15:44 Uh 2.6.37 is a serious problem. 16:15:46 CRCinAU: I think we are well beyond that -- https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.38-0.rc5.git1.1.fc15 16:15:54 The live images require 2.6.38. 16:16:00 whoops, I've been behind the times ;) 16:16:06 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2011-February/006921.html 16:16:25 There will be a lot of pain to get them back under size if we don't use XZ. 16:16:26 jlaska: see Davids response there 16:16:58 adamw: would have probably more info on this.. 16:17:07 Viking-Ice: I don't have a sense for frequency of that issue based on David's response 16:17:15 yeah likely ... adamw is all over the X issues 16:17:28 jlaska: "Looks like all post r600 ATI cards would be affected" 16:17:45 how does that correlate into % of users? 16:17:46 times the number of users using those cards 16:18:28 * jlaska added airlied feedback into the bug 16:18:39 jlaska: adamw also was working on a list of supported hw for Gnome-Shell dam you Canadian holiday! 16:18:58 yeah, that will be a good list to monitor going forward ... 16:19:24 okay ... so aside from those issues, I'm not aware of any other issues on the F15Alpha front 16:19:31 jlaska: do we have some kind of mechanist to determine the % of affected users? 16:19:45 manually inspect smolt 16:19:52 hmm...need to try to reproduce this bug with my R900 card 16:19:56 theres no auto-parsing for smolt? 16:20:04 CRCinAU: 'auto'? 16:20:25 something similar to Valve / Steams hardware survey 16:20:48 http://www.happyassassin.net/2011/01/17/potential-project-for-someone-graphics-card-generations-in-smolt/ 16:21:00 ie: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey 16:21:06 jlaska: there might be another one lurking with gdm not parsing users password that I've come across 16:21:21 which might be enable/disable fingerprint related 16:21:21 It doesn't like the enter key. 16:21:29 I filed a bug on that. 16:21:30 CRCinAU: I'm not familiar with those ... but there are some metrics provided by smolt, but not the data we need in order to answer these types of questions 16:21:39 hmmm ok 16:21:43 Viking-Ice: okay, we'll track that if it comes up 16:21:45 Just use the mouse to hit the login button. 16:21:55 brunowolff: I'll test that 16:22:02 brunowolff: Viking-Ice: thanks 16:22:09 okay ... let's move on to some quick test day updates 16:22:54 #info Viking-Ice noted an issue related to parsing user passwords in gdm ... brunowolff noted it was filed and use the mouse to press the 'login' button 16:22:58 #topic Tue (Feb 22) - Thu (Feb 24) - Xorg test week 16:23:17 You may have seen Adamw's post to the planet on this 16:23:18 #link http://www.happyassassin.net/2011/02/20/its-graphics-test-week-again/ 16:23:24 but it's that crazy test week again 16:23:39 which I'm glad it's a holiday in Canada, so he can build up energy for this week :P 16:23:52 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-22_Nouveau 16:23:55 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-23_Radeon 16:23:58 I'm guessing he will be off during his birthday 16:23:59 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-24_Intel 16:24:13 Viking-Ice: I don't believe so 16:24:39 It's not uncommon here on top of the world that people take the day of during their birthday.. 16:24:46 you now that the community loves you if their birthday present is graphics test week ;) 16:24:46 The xorg test week is typically a well attended series of event, so I dn't expect any changes here 16:24:53 red_alert: exactly! 16:25:14 Obviously, the xorg testing is even more important with gnome-shell enabled by default 16:25:25 the results of the test week will also go towards improving the default shell experience 16:25:40 so please do grab a live image and participate this week 16:25:52 note, you don't have to attend on the scheduled day ... you can always join later 16:26:12 you may not have as many active participants to help triage failures, but you can still attend and post results 16:26:22 any questions/comments on the test days this week? 16:26:40 Do the Aussies really show up the night before? 16:26:49 heh 16:26:52 yes 16:26:54 mostly if there will be newer xorg-x11-drv-* packages in koji then are currently present in koji 16:27:26 #info For questions about the event, or if you want to help organize, head to the ticket please -- http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/156 16:27:50 more on the test day front ... 16:28:03 and we have to make note on the radeon driver package that users with post r600 ( like me I got r300 ) cant participate 16:28:24 I believe there are tests you can do that don't require hardware accel 16:28:33 but yes, noting that failure on the wiki would be good 16:29:09 #topic Mar 1 and Mar 3 - i18n/l10n Test Days 16:29:31 #info Several i18n and l10n events coming up next week, and he following week 16:29:56 #info For questions, or participation, check-out the ticket please -- http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/158 16:30:23 #info Mar 1 - l10n/i18n Installer test day - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-01_L10n_i18n_Installation 16:30:37 #info Mar 3 - i18n desktop test day - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-03_I18n_Desktop 16:31:01 those were also fairly popular last release, so I expect we'll shake out a large number of bugs in the next 2 weeks 16:31:17 okay ... I had no other big updates for today ... so moving to open discussion 16:31:20 #topic Open discussion - 16:31:29 anything not already discussed, that folks would like to raise? 16:31:34 ISO generation... 16:31:35 Tim requested a test day for s-c-p 16:31:42 which has gone unapproved 16:31:58 how far in the future would be expect F15 ISOs to hit the normal public mirror system? 16:32:17 after Alpha Final is released 16:32:28 RCs and TCs don't go to public mirrors 16:32:33 AFAIK 16:32:35 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/172 16:32:40 CRCinAU: I don't have any feedback on how long it takes mirrors to update once official ISO's are create 16:32:43 d 16:32:48 What about Beta RC's and so on? 16:32:56 vhumpa: nope 16:32:59 kparal: I believe you are correct.

I mentioned earlier, I haven't caught up on fedora-qa yet 16:33:23 #info twaugh proposed a printing test day - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/172 16:33:40 There are nightly live images built though if you are looking for somewhere to point people to. 16:33:44 jlaska: Do I wield power of approve ? 16:34:05 I can work with him on it 16:34:12 Viking-Ice: well, "approve" is a loose term :) 16:34:30 brunowolff: I am aware of those, but I usually test DVD installs - which requires the DVD ISO - and in backwards Australia, we have rather small monthly data allowances. 16:34:41 Viking-Ice: for how to handle, take a look at https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/169#comment:1 16:34:42 "help out test day preparation" is better term :-) 16:34:51 however a lot of the major mirror sites in AU are excluded from the data allowance 16:35:29 CRCinAU: we also have delta ISOs that robatino manages for folks with bandwidth concerns 16:35:38 CRCinAU: for the TC and RC images 16:35:52 jlaska: I thought that there were issues with the iso deltas recently 16:35:59 * CRCinAU nods. I love robatinos work - however theres the issues between the TC stuff 16:36:00 or was that just going from 14 -> 15 16:36:01 there are ... I'm not up on the details 16:36:07 afaik, it should work from now on in. 16:36:10 okay 16:36:20 it was only coming from 14, right? 16:36:26 however only for stuff very recent and hopefully the future 16:36:26 the next blocker bug meeting is on Friday, right? what happend to proposed alpha blockers regarding the go/nogo meeting on wednesday? 16:36:38 #info CRCinAU asked about whether test composes and release candidates were mirrors -- they are not 16:36:41 jlaska: I believe some F15 ISOs were also affected 16:36:51 red_alert: that is correct, we may host another blocker meeting on Friday 16:36:54 CRCinAU: okay 16:37:08 red_alert: we still are on track for the wednesday 17:00 EDT go/nogo meeting 16:37:50 anything else on the radar? 16:37:59 jlaska: 16:38:00 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677578 16:38:00 Due to this bug, the DVD deltaisos from TC1 to TC2 were corrupted, hence 16:38:00 nonfunctional. Unlike the diso from 14 Final to 15 Alpha TC1, this was 16:38:01 unexpected. 16:38:15 CRCinAU: ah great, thanks for the details 16:38:30 #info CRCinAU pointed to bug#677578 which impacted delta ISOs from TC1->TC2 16:38:44 will TC2 -> RC have the same issue 16:39:05 Dont think that bug is an alpha blocker 16:39:14 we dont support deltaisos 16:39:17 Viking-Ice: it's not proposed as one 16:39:22 jlaska: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677578 only affected TC1->TC2 and only makedeltaiso 16:39:29 jlaska: I believe TC2 onwards should be ok 16:39:32 there's a patch now so i can make working deltas from now on 16:39:36 jlaska: ok 16:39:42 robatino: CRCinAU: Gotcha, thanks for the update 16:39:55 robatino: and once again, love your work ;) 16:40:03 but people will need to use either F15 and up, or a patched F14 system, to use them 16:40:07 #info robatino and CRCinAU noted that a patch is in place for bug#677578, and TC2->RC delta ISOs will work 16:40:11 due to the new xz compression 16:40:23 s/patched/temporarily modified 16:40:35 robatino: looks like you already added an {{admon/warning}} to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Delta_ISOs ? 16:41:14 okay ... if not other topics, we'll close out in 2 minutes 16:41:16 * jlaska sets fuse 16:41:45 Xen Dom0 support. 16:42:07 CRCinAU: hmm, not sure about that ... might want to send out a mail on virt@lists.fedoraproject.org ? 16:42:15 Are there any plans to have it in F15, or will be it knocked back to F16? 16:42:31 as it looks like lots of the wiki pages are out of date. 16:42:33 #info CRCinAU - asked about F15 status of Xen dom0 support 16:42:48 CRCinAU: yeah ... sorry, I don't have any updates. Can you reach out on virt@lists.fedoraproject.org ? 16:43:14 * jlaska resets the fuse at 1 min 16:43:55 20 seconds until #endmeeting ... 16:44:07 brunowolff: maybe a link to your bug report regarding gdm 16:44:14 just grabbing to linkage 16:44:16 one tick 16:44:24 Just a sec... 16:44:31 * jlaska waits for bruno link 16:44:41 theres work on this: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xen/2011-February/005338.html 16:44:55 however I'm not sure where it lies with the 'stock' f15 kernel 16:45:11 CRCinAU: I don't know either ... best to go to the source 16:45:13 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678948 16:45:26 brunowolff: thanks 16:45:27 .bug 678948 16:45:29 in fact, theres an even newer dom0 kernel: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xen/2011-February/005361.html 16:45:29 brunowolff: Bug 678948 Using enter to send password doesn't work - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678948 16:45:39 okay gang ... it's #endmeeting time ... 16:45:46 thanks for your comments and attendance 16:45:49 I'll send minutes to the list 16:45:56 #endmeeting
