I think I've filed more than 15 bugs already 15:05:52 * handsome_pirate needs to get cake 15:05:55 amita: not yet, but that's probably because we figured out the gnome-shell crash 15:05:55 adamw: hey Adam, can we discuss that gnome test day a bit? 15:05:58 adamw: we might want to talk about gnome test day first, vbenes will be available for only limited time 15:06:06 FranciscoD, wuhuu xoxo 15:06:23 vbenes: absolutely, we'll put it after the tcms topic 15:06:37 oh ok 15:06:44 let's put it BEFORE the other topics then :) 15:06:57 adamw: ok thanks 15:07:09 #topic GNOME Test Day 15:07:10 * FranciscoD can't figure out why his patch won't apply - goes to look 15:07:35 adamw: we have installable F21 via anaconda, there are some packages already in 3.13.90 so we can probably go that way if we don't have liveCD 15:07:56 I just tested yesterday's nightly Live, anaconda installation works, and GNOME seems to work as well 15:08:03 I think it can be suitable for test day 15:08:09 if it contains all necessary stuff 15:08:18 kparal: I hope both X and wayalnd based should be working quite well now 15:08:49 for background: the GNOME test day is scheduled for 2014-08-28, that is, this Thursday 15:08:59 adamw, wiki page? 15:09:03 is wayland getting tested too? I got a non-interactive console last night 15:09:04 * roshi is looking now 15:09:06 kparal: that's probably because you werent on dual head, and not using evo 15:09:13 see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2014-08-28_Gnome_3.14 and https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/444 15:09:27 thanks 15:09:33 * amita clicks 15:09:35 amita: still under construction 15:09:46 vbenes, oh ok 15:09:57 drat, too slow 15:10:03 * amita like to see the construction as well 15:10:37 adamw: do we have some nightlies that are stable? anaconda may be broken tomorrow 15:10:50 vbenes: the one I used last night was OK 15:11:02 Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-20140824.iso 15:11:02 adamw: I mean if we can access trees from Thursday for example 15:11:05 might be good to keep a list of nightlies that are good 15:11:05 vbenes: what do you mean? we can always download something from the past 15:11:08 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1133166 flickering on 21-48-2.1 15:11:13 vbenes: all old nightlies are available in koji 15:11:28 vbenes: go to 'tasks', pick 'completed', and pick the method 'createliveCD' 15:11:30 do we test TC-3? 15:11:31 that should find them all 15:11:38 adamw: aha.. nice then .. is that liveCD bootable? 15:11:44 FranciscoD: ^^ 15:11:49 if it's green, it is usually 15:11:56 vbenes: yes, it booted and installed just fine 15:12:03 meaning, not a failed build :) 15:12:10 I only noticed the flickering issue which satellit pointed out 15:12:41 FranciscoD: aha, so the problem seems to be solved, we have working liveCD and we have working anaconda installation .. so let's wait for GNOME guys if they want to stick anything special in 15:12:48 adamw: ^ 15:12:58 and another partitioning issue which I reported - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130852 15:13:12 well, if they need a custom live image we kind of have a problem again, as we can't easily say 'build me a live image based on last thursday's but add X' 15:13:34 but we should be able to come up with something. ideally i'd like to use a nightly from after today, so we get the mutter fix for multihead 15:13:42 or else what we have is going to be unusable for anyone with multiple heads 15:13:59 adamw: aha.. good to know 15:14:00 adamw: do you know if we build an image manually whether it will be exposed to that compose issue bug or not? will we need to apply the same hotfixes locally? 15:14:35 adamw: I can ask Matthias to get as much as possible into the after today's tree so it's pulled in 15:14:47 adamw: and available for test day 15:14:57 D/L this atm http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7446943 08/25 workstation 15:15:00 vbenes: that sounds like a plan 15:15:30 kparal: i think it's probably theoretically vulnerable, but there's a high chance any build host you use will have the relevant library loaded and hence not hit the issue. i think 15:16:24 hmm 15:17:09 adamw: ok.. so I assume I am all set.. mailing now to Matthias. There is still a bunch of apps still in 3.13.4 so these should be updated 15:17:18 i believe desktop team was looking for volunteers to possibly add test cases too 15:17:27 adamw: we can have some repo for apps that will be ready on Thursday or so 15:17:50 if anyone has time to add test cases for Boxes and "vinagre's rdp enhancements", following the scheme for the existing test cases...that'd be nice :) 15:17:54 adamw: I've added just new features.. we can do some exploratory testing on the rest 15:18:17 #info GNOME test day is mostly ready to go but ideally we need a working live image with the newest possible package set, at least today's and probably tomorrow's 15:18:21 adamw: yeah, boxes have some new features in 3.13.90 like multiple windows, etc 15:18:26 #info additional test cases for Boxes and viangre's RDP enhancements would be useful 15:18:56 adamw: we will add installation info on Thursday 15:19:02 adamw: I will add result matrix 15:19:15 adamw: installation info on Wednesday 15:19:35 adamw: one more thing.. could you do some announcements? 15:19:58 I'll try and test things out to get as many fixes in by tomorrow 15:20:05 adamw: not sure if I know all channels .. I can spam RH and some Czech linux webs 15:20:08 :-) 15:20:10 * FranciscoD is working on a gnome-themes-standard bug at the moment 15:20:21 vbenes: the test day SOP should cover it, but sure, we can help with that 15:20:26 roshi, you up for it? 15:20:31 sure 15:20:38 vbenes: we should definitely get it to Fedora Magazine asap 15:20:44 give me a breather from emails :p 15:20:47 well, reading them 15:20:51 * amita thinking if blog can help ? 15:21:08 maybe fedoramagazine too 15:21:15 * FranciscoD could write a short post 15:21:17 I can put an announcement on the magazine 15:21:23 adamw, I can write for it 15:21:24 or you can FranciscoD :) 15:21:28 amita: awesome! 15:21:37 bah, I was gonna push it on to you roshi ! 15:21:38 so now we have 3 volunteers, perfect ;) 15:21:42 Fedora Magazine: GNOME Test Day Week 15:21:42 * FranciscoD blames his slow fingers 15:21:50 all articles about GNOME Test Day, all the time 15:21:54 thank you all! 15:22:03 #action FranciscoD write GNOME Test Day post on magazine 15:22:10 Random aside 15:22:10 * roshi puts his finger to his nose 15:22:21 can non-chairs do #action? /me not sure 15:22:26 kparal: yeah, we will cancel next week's wayland test day as devels wanted to have it together with GNOME 15:22:30 Chris Roberts does a pretty bangup job running Fedora Magazine, doesn't he? 15:22:32 I don't think so 15:22:33 #action FranciscoD or amita or roshi to write GNOME Test Day post for Fedora Magazine 15:22:35 adamw, no 15:22:36 so maybe worth mentioning 15:22:38 Dude never gets any props for it 15:22:46 sure does 15:23:10 vbenes: so we should mention this is a combined GNOME / Wayland test day? 15:23:10 he does a great job 15:23:16 that'll get more interest from the 'mainstream' media 15:23:58 adamw: yes, can be mentioned like this 15:24:30 ok, thanks guys... have to go now.. 15:24:47 thanks vbenes! 15:25:07 thanks vbenes .. I will look for you wiki page for more info :) 15:25:20 thanks!.. bbye 15:25:34 * FranciscoD waves goodbye to vbenes 15:25:40 meh, too slow 15:25:43 * FranciscoD install gtypis 15:25:45 t 15:25:48 >_< 15:26:04 mmm, cake 15:26:12 FranciscoD, effect ok 15 bugs :D 15:26:18 s/ok/of 15:26:24 XD 15:27:06 okey dokey, moving onto the agenda... 15:27:18 * FranciscoD refills his gin and tonic 15:27:30 #topic Previous meeting follow-up 15:27:42 looks like there was one action item last time: 15:27:46 "kparal ping relevant people (bcl, dgilmore, pjones?) and ask about compose issues" 15:28:05 yeah, that got done 15:28:14 we had some conversation during blocker bug meeting 15:28:53 #info "kparal ping relevant people (bcl, dgilmore, pjones?) and ask about compose issues" - this was done, people synced up during last week's blocker meeting. work on composes continues 15:29:17 I just don't know if TC3 is finally not affected or not yet 15:29:24 #topic Fedora 21 status 15:29:38 I even missed the announcement, if there was any 15:29:38 ping dgilmore nirik - sorry to take up your time 15:29:46 i don't believe tc3 is complete yet, hence not announced 15:29:52 ah 15:29:56 * kparal looks for the releng ticket 15:29:57 * nirik is happy to help, but dgilmore will have more detailed info. ;) 15:30:09 tc3 lacks a x86_64 tree and a atomic image 15:30:25 adamw: x86_64 install tress got skipped for an unknown reason 15:30:40 and we hit issues with making the atomic tree 15:30:50 so there is no atomic bits 15:30:52 #info there is a TC3 in the usual place, but it is incomplete and hence (as with TC1 and TC2) unofficial and unannounced 15:30:58 but its mostly complete 15:31:05 #info 'TC3' is missing atomic image and x86_64 install tree 15:31:26 waiting for the compose box to come back up after a reboot to a new kernel that should have nfs fixed 15:31:38 and will work on the atomic tree 15:31:57 What was up with workstation composes? 15:32:05 handsome_pirate: long story, it's in the bug 15:32:14 but i believe we have the verified workaround for that issue in place now, right? 15:32:27 adamw: bz? 15:32:38 handsome_pirate: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127103 15:32:48 ty 15:32:54 #info longstanding Workstation compose issue is finally fixed or at least worked around now, is not affecting current compose runs 15:33:10 dgilmore: so, is there a realistic likelihood of a complete TC later today or tomorrow? 15:34:01 adamw: yes 15:34:17 ok 15:34:52 i'd tentatively suggest we hold fire on sustained TC3 testing and wait for a TC4, if that turns out to be more problematic than currently envisaged, we can announce and do proper testing on the existent bits of TC3 15:35:25 in the mean time people can always file bugs using the nightlies 15:36:50 yup\ 15:37:04 i think the TC and nightlies should basically be identical anyway, more or less, we don't have any side request packages in atm 15:37:29 #info more complete TC4 should follow TC3 compose attempt soon, we will hold off announcing and formally testing TC3 in hopes of a TC4 15:37:52 * amita has to rush for other meeting ... 15:37:58 thanks amita! 15:38:01 bye 15:38:40 * nirik tested a nightly f21 xfce, and it ran and installed just fine. 15:38:45 dgilmore: should https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127103 now be marked as closed? 15:39:28 adamw: yeah, though i suspect its going to creep into other parts of the compose process 15:39:41 ok 15:39:56 install media some days have failed to work 15:40:03 Yep, running F21 on bare metal 15:40:04 I think its related 15:40:21 the stage2 rootfs was corrupt 15:40:25 oh boy, fun. 15:40:32 why's this suddenly cropping up now, after 20 releases? 15:41:04 because people changed the code around how users are created 15:42:05 the rpm %post scripts that add users now try all configured methods to find users. rather that the older way that could have missed that a user existed via secondary types 15:43:25 ah. 15:43:29 well, at least we know the scope. 15:43:56 ok, i think we've covered f21 enough...none of the current release blockers looks like a complete testing showstopper to me, so we should at least be able to do fairly full testing on a complete TC as and when one appears 15:44:04 and please do continue to test the nightlies and fill in the results page, folks 15:44:31 it was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1089738 that is at fault afaik 15:44:37 well the fix for that bug 15:45:36 adamw: should I drop a mail to the desktop ML requesting updated packages for bugfixes that just came out? I see mutter was updated, but there are one or two more. 15:45:53 FranciscoD: can't hurt! 15:46:03 One's e-d-s and google -> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735311 15:46:08 FranciscoD: might be good to say 'try to get all things you want fixed for the test day in today or tomorrow' 15:46:16 adamw: ok, I'll do that then 15:46:21 thanks 15:46:24 here's another fix that would be nice -> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734945 15:46:40 #topic MozTrap / TCMS evaluation 15:47:43 so i'm still interested in moztrap (dunno about anyone else :>) so i threw it on the agenda. as mentioned on the mailing list, i've extracted all existing test cases from the wiki and put them up at https://fedorapeople.org/groups/qa/test_cases/ 15:48:03 next step along that particular path would be to write a tool to convert them to moztrap's mass import format, then manual clean-up 15:48:14 is it reasonable to assume it's going to be used at all in F21 cycle? 15:48:30 or do we target F22? 15:48:34 kparal: i don't think we should make moztrap the 'official' venue for any f21 testing data 15:48:49 but it might be viable to unofficially 'parallel' some testing in a moztrap instance 15:48:57 like a dry run 15:49:01 ok 15:49:07 for a test day, maybe, or release validation tests or at least some subset 15:49:16 tflink deployed some instance, I'm not sure I have an URL 15:49:57 yes, i think i have it, just a sec 15:50:22 FLTG also wants to use moztrap/TCMS for l10n testing. Few localizers are used to moztrap through Firefox OS testing on Mostrap, where lots of them are used to TCMS as well 15:50:44 shared goal then :) 15:50:50 https://moztrap-demo.cloud.fedoraproject.org/moztrap/ 15:50:52 Is there any comparsion available for both these interfaces so that we can decide on which one to use 15:50:53 yup 15:50:55 :) 15:50:56 it's a very rough test deployment 15:51:13 Would it make sense to combine efforts between QA and l10n? 15:51:21 * apeter checking 15:51:33 if you enter your FAS email address it should authenticate via FAS 15:52:01 one thing about moztrap is I guess all needs Mozilla persona to login 15:52:09 oh yeah? 15:52:16 apeter: see above, tflink hacked up some rough fas integration 15:52:26 * FranciscoD signs in 15:52:36 yep, took me to FAS openid 15:52:45 it redirects you back to the wrong page after login 15:52:50 heh, yeah 15:52:53 but if you manually stick /moztrap in the URL you should then be logged in 15:52:53 it asked me directly the persona.. then its cool if FAS works.. thanks adamw tflink 15:52:54 got me to the apache test page 15:52:58 fedoauth (our authentication provider can do openid, persona and saml. ;) 15:53:08 apeter: yeah, he didn't adjust the interface at all, but the actual auth hookup is done 15:53:08 correct URL 2 times 15:53:11 nirik: because it's awesome! 15:53:19 indeed it is. ;) 15:53:23 FranciscoD: just stick /moztrap on the end and it should work 15:53:29 adamw: yep, worked 15:53:47 can we get this implemented for the L10n test day on Sept 9th? 15:53:49 kparal: twice++ 15:54:16 apeter: I think if we just add the testcases there shouldn't be an issue using it 15:54:23 apeter: it might be viable to use it for a test day as a trial run, yeah 15:54:27 roshi, cool... 15:54:33 yeah me too was thinking the came 15:54:41 pratical use and we can get some real feedbacks 15:54:45 apeter: you'd just have to get used to the moztrap approach and set up the test runs 15:55:12 apeter: when you talked about 'two interfaces' and 'tcms' earlier, were you talking about nitrate? 15:55:21 yup we have the FLTG members who have used this before.. so will give a try. but ofcourse we need your help as well 15:55:27 mail to desktop list requesting updates before test day -> SENT 15:55:31 adamw, yup nitrate 15:55:33 aha 15:55:41 we've evaluated nitrate for fedora before and found it just not to be a great fit 15:55:49 moztrap seems rather closer to what we want in fedora, with a few caveats 15:56:07 ah okay... generally when we (FLTG) also analysed we too feel moztrap is betetr than tcms 15:56:13 apeter: i'd definitely be interested in doing some 'real' testing with it to see how it works out, maybe we can sync up via email later to try and get the l10n test cases in there? 15:56:13 I mean nitrate 15:56:30 adamw, cool.. that sounds like a plan 15:56:36 :) 15:56:39 apeter: i dunno when they started calling it 'tcms' but it's a bit confusing since that's also the generic term for what it is, so i stick to nitrate :) 15:56:47 awesome 15:56:54 I know.. ;) 15:56:58 #action adamw and apeter to sync up on trialling moztrap for l10n test day 15:57:08 woow :) 15:57:43 we have been receiving so many many feedback since years to change our testing interface.. looks like the testers will be happy with L10n F21 testing :) 15:57:54 so one potential issue i noticed/re-noticed with the test case export stuff is our use of wiki templates for some test cases 15:58:08 apeter: well, we might need to smooth out the authentication a bit :P 15:58:23 roshi: can you and tflink look at that if you find a few spare minutes? not top priority though 15:58:32 auth or export? 15:58:32 okies.. 15:58:39 roshi: smoothing out the login 15:58:48 sure, can try 15:58:54 * roshi isn't sure he has creds though 15:59:05 roshi: bug tflink till he gives you them, raptor-bus factor and all ;) 15:59:11 my moztrap install worked with fedoauth out of the box 15:59:11 adamw: tflink is on vacation this week 15:59:16 yeah 15:59:18 we (or at least I) found templates kinda useful for some test cases scenarios 15:59:23 kparal: bah, roshi has cellphone numbers. 15:59:31 vacation? we don't need no steeenkin' vacations 15:59:31 poor tflink 15:59:40 lol 15:59:47 tflink conveniently lost his US sim card 15:59:58 we can probably use environments to achieve approximately the same result for at least some of the cases where we use templates in mediawiki, but i need to look into it 15:59:58 I'll ping him somehow :) 16:00:06 you can use his czech sim card 16:00:11 hehe 16:00:26 Ah, yeah, he was telling me about that 16:00:27 or just use his personal email :p 16:01:08 kparal, we would also need the L10n testing image ready by sept 9th. shall create a ticket for the same :) 16:01:24 apeter: there should be a ticket for the test day already, if everyone's following procedure :P 16:01:34 yup.. we have one sec 16:01:39 cool. 16:01:47 anyone have anything else on moztrap or TCMSes in general? 16:01:49 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/450 16:01:58 :) 16:02:13 adamw: Can we get it to dispense free bacon? 16:02:18 * apeter done. will catch up on mail with adamw later 16:02:26 #info there is a sandbox/experimental moztrap deployment at https://moztrap-demo.cloud.fedoraproject.org/moztrap , if you enter your FAS email address for 'Persona' authentication it should auth via FAS, add /moztrap to the URL after logging in to get back to moztrap 16:02:28 adamw: I don't remember that in your demo 16:02:51 handsome_pirate: well, the answer I give to that question all depends on whether i have to be around for you to hold me to it. 16:03:07 why is it asking me for persona directly :( 16:03:35 how to login thru FAS 16:03:48 use your FAS email 16:03:57 adamw: Quick thought: A hack for the winding up at the test page would be to drop in an index.html that does an auto redirect 16:04:05 Quick hack to reduce confusion 16:04:40 handsome_pirate: i don't know how tflink has the server configured at all, it should be relatively trivial to fix one way or another. 16:04:54 * handsome_pirate shuts up now 16:06:55 we're over time, so just a quick... 16:06:55 doesn't look like my key was added to that machine 16:06:57 #topic Open floor 16:07:06 any more for any more?> 16:07:20 oh ok. it sends a confirmation mail and then we need to set a password.
