I don't think we have any… 15:15:53 * rdieter will spend some time today trying to get a f18 virtual machine up and running I guess 15:15:58 I'd say do nothing until we actually have a concrete issue to fix, at least for Alpha. 15:16:03 Kevin_Kofler: yes, nucleo opened a bug 15:16:11 We can try doing a preset once we can test it. 15:16:12 dvratil_: you were testing tc3 ^^^ 15:16:56 yes, KDM did not start automatically for me 15:16:58 * jaysonr will try to get a F18 VM up as well 15:16:59 rdieter: Ah right, but nucleo's bug is not against our components. I still think it's not our job to fix this. 15:17:16 And it might be already fixed. 15:17:19 starting kdm.service and graphical.target fixed it 15:17:22 Or it might affect only upgrades. 15:17:27 Upgrades are not critical for Alpha. 15:17:32 Only for Beta/Final. 15:17:38 Kevin_Kofler: yep 15:17:52 systemd is supposed to grok /etc/sysconfig/desktop on upgrade case, and do the right thing 15:18:25 in it's %posttrans scriptlet or something 15:18:28 rdieter: can I ask you to lead the meeting? I have to leave now, I'll be online watching it from phone... sorry... 15:18:30 Now, KDM on fresh installs IS critical, so if that also doesn't work, it needs to be nominated as an Alpha blocker immediately. 15:18:33 jreznikok 15:18:54 Kevin_Kofler: yep 15:19:09 And KDM not working on upgrades, if that's still the case, needs to be nominated for Beta blocker and probably for Alpha NTH. 15:19:34 it's more Beta 15:20:40 so, I don't think there's much more to discuss here, other than encourage everyone to try to get a f18 install up and running (by whatever method), and help debug/fix stuff as much as possible. not much point in speculating endlessly here and now 15:20:53 The bazillion (non-KDE-related) Alpha blockers is scary in any case, I wonder if that's going to be releasable any time soon. :-/ 15:21:00 part_list = display->priv->part_list; 15:21:02 part_list = display->priv->part_list; 15:21:03 if (!part_list) { 15:21:05 e_web_view_clear (E_WEB_VIEW (display)); 15:21:06 return FALSE; 15:21:08 } 15:21:09 uri = e_mail_part_build_uri ( 15:21:11 part_list->folder, part_list->message_uid, 15:21:12 "mode", G_TYPE_INT, display->priv->mode, 15:21:14 "headers_collapsable", G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, display->priv->headers_collapsable, 15:21:15 "headers_collapsed", G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, display->priv->headers_collapsed, 15:21:17 NULL); 15:21:18 e_web_view_load_uri (E_WEB_VIEW (display), uri); 15:21:20 g_free (uri); 15:21:21 sorry, stupid clipboard! 15:21:24 I wanted to say that you need to add user to admin group in firstboot 15:21:40 or you won't be able to start KDM (no sudo, no root passwd) 15:21:54 ok 15:22:58 #topic open discussion 15:23:26 So do we have any live image composes now? Or are they still all messed up? 15:23:32 just fyi, I worked on ktp-0.5.0 updates last night for f17/f18, queue'd for -testing, in kde-testing now 15:23:34 I'd really like to know where we are size-wise. 15:23:45 Kevin_Kofler: no live images I'm aware of 15:24:01 Kevin_Kofler: there are not any. There's still wrangling going on about livecd-tools vs livemedia-creator. ;( 15:24:20 nirik: switching this late for that is scary too 15:24:38 considering we slipped a week already 15:24:55 yes, but livecd-tools also has had no work for f18 stuff... secure boot, etc. 15:25:06 , fun 15:25:24 nirik, any eta? 15:25:35 and livemeda-creator won't work easily in koji (or perhaps at all). 15:25:51 nirik: So Restricted Boot should be dropped for F18 along with livemedia-creator… 15:25:51 so, I guess we just need to get anaconda and rel-eng folks together to hash it out. 15:26:11 Nobody wants Restricted Boot anyway! 15:26:34 that was just an example, there are other f18 features. 15:26:43 grub2 support, efi booting... 15:26:47 nirik: since I have your ear, I'd meant to ask you about switching how kde spin is composed, to switch from using fedora-livecd-kde.ks to fedora-live-kde.ks (ie, we've officially decided not to limit ourselves to cd size anymore). 15:27:17 rdieter: cool. Would need to let dgilmore know. I suppose it depends on how they are created. ;) 15:27:17 and target 800-900mb size range instead, +/- whatever 15:27:20 rdieter: Uh, I thought we still want to have 2 versions? 15:27:28 Kevin_Kofler: no 15:27:48 fedora-live-kde.ks is much more than 800 MiB. 15:27:49 the proposal I made was to make the default spin size bigger, but still offer a livecd kickstart 15:27:52 It's more than 1 GiB even. 15:28:07 Kevin_Kofler: sure 15:28:17 i'll fix it once live images get composing again 15:28:53 nirik: ok, I'll talk to dgilmore 15:29:12 Kevin_Kofler: though, given that, perhaps the switch over may well better happen *after* live image composes are working again. point taken 15:29:59 Yes, I'd rather adjust sizes first and then switch. 15:30:10 ok, agreed 15:32:39 and, I queue'd up rekonq-1.1 updates this morning. it's pretty nice, fixed a few irritations over 1.0, so I felt more confidence to push back to f16/f17 too (updating from older 0.9.2) 15:33:47 anything else for today? 15:34:20 nothing from me... 15:36:48 * Kevin_Kofler can't think of anything either. 15:37:18 ok, let's wrap up then, thanks! 15:37:21 #endmeeting
