If so, I'll disappear for a bit. 17:07:03 #topic Why Are We Here? 17:07:26 this could be a more existential question, but ... 17:07:30 #info Our purpose in this meeting is to review proposed blocker and nice-to-have bugs and decide whether to accept them, and to monitor the progress of fixing existing accepted blocker and nice-to-have bugs. 17:07:43 up for review today are: 17:08:02 i thought we were here to rock? 17:08:06 #info 20 proposed blockers, 10 accepted blockers, 7 proposed NTH 17:08:37 adamw: rock, review blocker bugs ... same thing :) 17:08:49 if there are no objections, I was going to start with the proposed blockers 17:09:46 #topic (742042) anaconda should ensure the correct bootloader #topic (grub-efi or grub2) is installed on upgrade from F15, and remove grub 17:09:49 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742042 17:09:52 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:10:21 woah, template fail 17:10:28 #undo 17:10:28 Removing item from minutes: 17:10:30 #undo 17:10:30 Removing item from minutes: 17:10:32 #undo 17:10:32 Removing item from minutes: 17:10:50 #topic (742042) anaconda should ensure the correct bootloader (grub-efi or grub2) is installed on upgrade from F15, and remove grub 17:10:53 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742042 17:10:55 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:10:56 better 17:11:16 we have a little thicket of grub bugs that pjones is working on 17:11:54 is grub-efi a subpackage? or a new package on its own? or ? 17:11:55 to shore up the handling of both efi and bios cases on install and upgrade (hopefully) so we never wind up with the wrong bootloader installed or conflicting packages or anything 17:12:10 it's a new sub-package of the grub .src.rpm, but it's 'independent' - it doesn't require grub 17:12:29 the end goal is that if you're running f16 from bios you have grub2 and if you're running it from efi you have grub-efi, no-one should really have grub any more 17:12:45 * nirik thinks it's a bit confusing, but ok. 17:12:55 do we want to say that this is EFI related or general installer related? 17:13:03 "The installer must boot and run on systems using EFI other than Apple Macs" 17:13:13 the actual issue in beta is not efi related 17:13:32 if you do an f15->f16 upgrade with beta you wind up with both grub and grub2 installed, and your first post-upgrade yum operation will complain about it 17:13:50 ah 17:14:05 this bug is now pretty much a catch-all for 'anaconda's got to do the right thing with grub when you upgrade' 17:14:16 "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria" 17:14:18 once all the grub changes are in place i'll test both upgrade paths and close the bug if they're okay 17:14:47 yeah - the upgraded system doesn't precisely meet all release criteria as you can't install updates. easy workaround - remove grub - so it wasn't too critical for beta, but it does need fixing. 17:15:13 When grub2 replaces grub does it pick up custom kernel parameters? 17:15:30 dont think so 17:16:20 no. 17:16:43 Will that be noted in the release notes? 17:16:44 anyway, votes on the bug? i'm +1 due to the impact described above. 17:16:51 +1 blocker 17:16:54 brunowolff: if we get around to it. release notes have been frozen for a while, technically. 17:16:55 if folks can, updating http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Grub2 would be welcome too. ;) 17:17:26 adamw: +1 from me 17:17:41 I'm +1 too 17:17:45 +1 too 17:18:24 proposed #agreed - 742042 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually.

If none have been proposed by next week, will make them in the next meeting. 17:44:35 #topic (743376) Split grub-efi out from grub and have it not conflict with grub2 17:44:38 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743376 17:44:41 #info Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED 17:44:50 +1 17:45:12 proposed #agreed - 743376 - AcceptedBlocker - #topic (743376) Split grub-efi out from grub and have it not conflict with grub2 17:45:13 this is kind of a prerequisite to sorting out the bootloader mess; we need grub for efi installs which doesn't conflict with grub2 or else we'll inevitably wind up with conflict issues somewhere 17:45:15 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743376 17:45:16 woah 17:45:18 #undo 17:45:18 Removing item from minutes: 17:45:20 #undo 17:45:20 Removing item from minutes: 17:45:23 #info Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED 17:45:25 #undo 17:45:25 Removing item from minutes: 17:45:34 Maybe we should have that blocker depend on this one? 17:45:35 okay, now i'm confused. 17:45:39 same here 17:45:40 brunowolff: it does. 17:45:50 tflink: remember the proposed #agreed doesn't count as an action 17:45:57 Then do we need to make it a blocker in its own right? 17:45:58 #info Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED 17:46:12 yeah, I was thinking that the #topic went through 17:46:13 brunowolff: it doesn't make much difference as it shows up in the list and needs an AcceptedBlocker tag either way 17:46:37 proposed #agreed - 743376 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must boot and run on systems using EFI other than Apple Macs 17:46:45 much better 17:46:53 copy/paste fail 17:47:12 OK. The phrasing of this bug was weird for a blocker since it didn't directly hit criteria and is more describing a particular solution. 17:47:21 ack 17:47:37 ack - the criterion is kinda arbitrary for this one 17:48:08 #agreed - 743376 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must boot and run on systems using EFI other than Apple Macs 17:48:16 adamw: yeah, but EFI needs it 17:48:24 * tflink figured that was the best one 17:48:30 #topic (735273) Command finds Windows partition, adds to grub menu, but menu entry will not boot 17:48:34 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735273 17:48:36 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:50:12 I'm thinking -1 blocker ATM 17:51:06 so we asked for more info, and it seems to be related to running an f16 vm atop an f14 host next to windows? 17:51:12 craziness. but yeah, that makes it a bit niche for me. 17:51:44 Especially since the last comment suggests the bug is in F14. 17:51:44 yeah, couldn't repro with F15 as the host 17:52:24 brunowolff: well, it may be some kinda combination - be interesting to try an f15 install atop f14. 17:52:40 proposed #agreed - 735273 - RejectedBlocker - This bug seems to manifest only when F14 is used as the virtualization host and is a little too specific to be a blocker 17:52:53 but anyway, whatever, it looks too restricted to make it a blocker, to me. (we have some wiggle room on this criterion; it doesn't require _all_ f16-alongside-windows configs to work) 17:52:54 ack 17:52:56 ack 17:53:07 #agreed - 735273 - RejectedBlocker - This bug seems to manifest only when F14 is used as the virtualization host and is a little too specific to be a blocker 17:53:14 #topic (737339) Grub menu is shown even for single OS installations 17:53:14 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737339 17:53:14 #info Proposed Blocker, ASSIGNED 17:54:22 I'm thinking that this isn't a blocker 17:54:28 -1 blocker 17:54:36 NTH ... maybe 17:54:59 I find it hard to call this a blocker based on there being divided opinion on whether the grub menu should be displayed for a bit during boot. 17:55:40 now that I'm thinking about it more, I'm -1 NTH, too 17:55:51 I wouldn't want to take a fix for this past freeze 17:56:44 * adamw checks criteria 17:56:49 proposed #agreed - 737339 - RejectedBlocker - This bug doesn't hit any release criteria and opinions on whether the grub menu should be displayed or not are divided 17:56:55 i thought we had a silly one about 'seamless boot' which is violated all over the damn place in f16, but i can't find it 17:56:59 anyone know what i'm talking about? 17:57:44 I don't remember a criterion for that from F15 17:58:00 but I do remember people talking about that 17:58:06 adamw: i dont remeber that 17:58:10 * dgilmore needs to run 17:58:16 * dgilmore has a meeting 17:58:22 i just checked through and can't find it, which is good anyway, as it shouldn't be blocking 17:58:25 I believe that seamless boot was the motiviation behind the syslinux and grub splash changes 17:58:26 so, -1 -1 for me 17:58:46 proposed #agreed - 737339 - RejectedBlocker RejectedNTH - This bug doesn't hit any release criteria and opinions on whether the grub menu should be displayed or not are divided 17:59:00 tflink: we had it as a feature a while back - we did get one release to the point where you stay in one video mode, with no flashes to console and some kind of 'fedora' background consistently showing, all the way from grub to desktop 17:59:10 but it's never been particularly reliable, and f16 is nowhere near that, heh 17:59:12 ack 17:59:18 #agreed - 737339 - RejectedBlocker RejectedNTH - This bug doesn't hit any release criteria and opinions on whether the grub menu should be displayed or not are divided 17:59:26 #topic (742226) /sbin/grub2-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/nvidia_cjfffajep2 17:59:29 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742226 17:59:32 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 18:00:09 on a side note, it turns out that I have a machine with nvidia bios raid 18:00:16 funsies 18:00:40 we asked for more info last week and didn't get any from pjones, but we did get one person who claims to reproduce and said he'd send logs, but hasn't yet. 18:00:56 I can try today, I didn't realize that we needed logs on this 18:01:54 do we want to punt on this again?

18:05:41 imsm uses mdraid while nvidia uses dmraid. wee! 18:06:10 dlehman: its just two swapped chars, is it that big of a deal? 18:06:23 heh 18:06:33 different bug, kinda similar 18:06:38 we have a few in this general area 18:06:41 a whole different world of problems 18:06:42 yeah 18:06:48 If grub2-install is like grub-install you give a mount point / directory name, not a device name. 18:06:54 i have another different bug trying to install to the intel bios raid on my laptop... 18:07:11 a) it's not and b) i don't think that's right. 18:07:33 I just installed an intel fwraid system the other day w/ no trouble 18:07:38 "INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename" 18:08:28 I had to play with grub-install recently, and I definitely used a file system path to the directory where the files were supposed to be copied and not /dev/something. 18:08:56 grub2-install is totally different 18:09:26 i don't think he's right for grub-install anyway 18:09:36 brunowolff: the only directory you pass to grub-install is optionally --root-directory= 18:09:42 i only have grub2 installed now, so i can't reference the --help, but http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html#SEC10 disagrees 18:11:11 anyway 18:11:12 dlehman: I might have been using that option and forgot that part. 18:11:25 this whole area is a bit thorny, because we have lots of different bugs with different raid configs 18:11:40 it's sort of like the total amount of breakage is worrying, but no individual bug looks bad enough to be a blocker on its own 18:11:53 and we do have *some* tests where it worked (like dlehman's and my desktop) 18:12:31 hm, several of these proposed blockers come from the same person 18:12:31 he manually upgraded from grub to grub2 and who knows what is grub config looks like after that 18:12:48 dlehman: the package upgrade doesn't do anything to grub config 18:12:52 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742888 18:13:01 you have to do grub2-mkconfig after the upgrade, and that's all we do on a fresh install anyway - we trust grub2 to write a config 18:13:02 I think that is related 18:13:04 right, so he could have an empty /boot/grub/device.map for one thing 18:13:30 does mkconfig auto-generate a device map? 18:13:37 i think either mkconfig or grub2-install does 18:13:51 at least, doing a manual upgrade on this system the same way he did it worked right for me 18:14:05 all i did was install grub2, do grub2-mkconfig then grub2-install, rebooted and it worked, and i have a device.map 18:14:07 hmm, okay 18:14:47 tflink: i don't think they're related... 18:15:02 but now he can't reproduce 742888 i guess we could ask again about the clean install case... 18:15:09 on a similar note, I need to open a bug about not being able to boot after a fresh install to an md /boot 18:16:05 742888 is about the rescue mode, though not the installer 18:16:09 i'm probably in favour of punting on this one until we know what's broken 18:16:29 I don't understand how 742888 could be blocking him from installing grub 18:16:35 but +1 to what adam said 18:16:38 yeah, i just asked him to re-try with a clean install 18:17:23 proposed #agreed - 743273 - It's really unclear what is broken here - ask the reporter to try a clean install and will revisit next week 18:17:23 he said he got a _similar_ error when try an install in addition to the rescue failure 18:17:39 ack 18:17:48 dlehman: ah, I missed that part 18:18:09 #agreed - 743273 - It's really unclear what is broken here - ask the reporter to try a clean install and will revisit next week 18:18:09 i think we need to ship pjones a ton of motherboards and tell him to spend the next two weeks installing to bios raid configs, heh 18:18:15 initial report is pretty sloppy 18:18:24 #topic (744054) Cannot install to MBR of an Intel BIOS RAID-0 array (Sony Vaio Z stock layout) 18:18:28 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744054 18:18:30 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 18:19:06 now this is highly similar 18:19:23 this one's mine 18:19:35 of course, now i can't test any fixes as i had to get the system working so i reinstalled to software raid :( 18:20:00 and you're right, now i look at it, it does look similar to jes' 18:20:05 hopefully you're happier with the info i provided =) 18:20:21 i think i didn't include the device.map file though, sorry. 18:20:44 the console session -- is that from somewhere in anaconda or what? 18:21:09 because it looks kind of like your biosraid set just isn't up at the time 18:21:36 it's from a running f15 system booted from the biosraid set. 18:21:39 so yes, it was set up =) 18:22:01 as per the bug description, i tried to do a 'live' switch from grub to grub2 on f15 to make sure grub2 would work before i upgraded to 16 18:22:18 so i rebuilt grub2 for f15 and tried to install it. pjones said that procedure should work. 18:23:07 seems like a reasonable thing to try 18:23:42 dlehman: grub2-mkconfig is just a script now i look at it 18:23:45 and it calls grub_mkdevicemap 18:23:51 so yeah, when you do mkconfig, it creates the devicemap 18:24:10 (if one doesn't already exist) 18:24:40 and presumably puts everything necessary in it, so that should be fine 18:24:56 that's obviously the intent, yeah: you're not supposed to hand-write or pre-generate a devicemap afaict. 18:25:14 oh? anaconda does just that. 18:25:19 hum. 18:25:42 (that doesn't mean I've read every possible doc that might discourage such a thing) 18:25:57 er...does it? grep -R mkdevice in the anaconda tree gives nothing for me. 18:26:25 it's just that "step back and allow the magician to work his magic" is not very conducive to a situation where anaconda needs to be able to control how some things are set up 18:26:57 adamw: grep write_device_map will give a result 18:27:09 yeah just saw that 18:27:14 are you sure it does that for grub2 though? 18:27:17 or just grub and efigrub? 18:27:27 yes sir. I wrote that. 18:27:30 okay =) 18:27:53 anyhoo 18:28:01 the reason we do that is the old and crufty thing that allows people to specify a different bios order from what we detect 18:28:04 when i say 'not supposed' i mean more 'not required' 18:28:31 I'm fine with either. anaconda is certainly not any developer's target audience 18:28:31 i.e. it's not a problem that i/jes didn't write a device.map before doing mkconfig and intsall 18:28:36 agreed 18:28:43 erf. we're wasting time 18:28:51 votes?

yes. would it be worth changing the tool that creates the livecds after final freeze ... 19:25:46 well, i think it's not a huge change to the tool 19:26:01 all the stuff is there already, we had EFI lives before 19:26:03 then it can be done before freeze 19:26:09 max it'll take is s/grub/grub-efi/ in a few places 19:26:20 sure, but if we don't get around to it, it'd kinda suck not to take it post-freeze, i guess... 19:27:23 i'm +1 i think 19:27:29 as long as the fix isn't worse than i though 19:27:30 t 19:27:42 I think that I'm +0, maybe -.5 19:28:16 is the new grub-efi build done?

19:32:41 nirik: do you have an opinion on NTH or not? 19:32:56 * nirik reads back up 19:33:23 I'm on the fence. I'd want to be pretty sure it didn't break non-efi before taking this after freeze. 19:33:31 so, basically we just need to add grub-efi onto the live images? 19:34:03 that's what it sounds like 19:34:18 that sounds like a reasonable change to me... I guess it could be NTH if we want EFI support for live 19:34:24 there may be some other change 19:34:33 i dunno exactly how the 'make live images efi bootable' stuff owrks 19:34:40 but i think probably all it'd be is the package change 19:34:46 because you'd need grub-efi or grub2 depending on what you're booting on, right? 19:35:00 so there's a conditional where there previously wasn't one? 19:36:18 I guess if we're talking about the ability to generate efi only livecds, I have less of an issue. If we're talking about having both grub-efi and grub2 on all the live images, I'm a bit more worried 19:36:19 no 19:36:27 two different issues 19:36:36 well... 19:36:37 okay. 19:36:48 yes, we will need both grub2 and grub-efi on all the lives to make them EFI bootable. 19:37:03 the two don't conflict in any way, though. it shouldn't cause any problems. 19:37:12 I thought this bug was simply asking for livecd-iso-to-disk --efi to work? 19:37:22 grub-efi does nothing at all unless you're booting from EFI. it doesn't install any files in any places that anything but EFI can do anything with. 19:37:23 nirik: no. 19:37:26 nirik: that already works. 19:37:31 nirik: that's where it started 19:37:36 the problem is that live images themselves are not EFI bootable because the files aren't present on them. 19:37:43 no it didn't. 19:37:54 livecd-iso-to-disk works and has worked all along. 19:37:56 so, will take take changes to livecd-creator? 19:37:57 the problem is *the image itself*. 19:37:59 no. 19:38:09 well, possibly, but most likely just the package list. 19:38:10 adamw: how so? Yes, the problem wasn't with the creator but that's how this all got started 19:38:17 eh, we're arguing about symantics 19:38:21 * nirik re-reads. skimming on a friday isn't working for my comprehension. ;) 19:39:02 tflink: the tool works. it can write efi-bootable usb sticks. we know that because it works with the dvd and netinst. the problem isn't 'i can't write an efi bootable usb stick', it's 'the live images cannot possibly boot via EFI, no matter what they're written to' 19:39:15 if you ignored livecd-iso-to-disk entirely and just burned the beta live image to a CD, that CD still would not boot via efi 19:39:16 adamw: like I said, we're arguing about symatics 19:39:26 and saying the same thing 19:39:34 not really, because clearly, from the preceding discussion, it's possible to completely misunderstand what the bug is =) 19:39:36 i don't call that semantics 19:39:38 so, what exact changes are needed to fix this? 19:40:02 that's not completely known, but at present, i believe all that's needed is for the grub-efi package to be included in the live image package set. 19:40:08 grub-efi needs to be in the buildroot for the live media? 19:40:43 i don't know about buildroot. i haven't looked at precisely what happens at image creation stage. 19:40:44 ok, so I would say: punt, find out more where changes need to happen... 19:41:07 works for me 19:41:10 okay. 19:41:18 if it is indeed that simple, I'd be OK with NTH 19:41:50 yeah, if it's just ks changes, great. 19:42:01 if it's buildroot and/or livecd-creator changes, less great 19:42:08 it'd be easy enough to just test a compose. i'll put that on my todo. 19:42:19 proposed #agreed - 735023 - Need more info about the proposed fix before deciding on NTH 19:42:52 ack 19:43:13 ack 19:43:14 wow, I wasn't expecting that much discussion over that bug :) 19:43:22 #agreed - 735023 - Need more info about the proposed fix before deciding on NTH 19:43:29 #topic (742636) gnome3 - conflict with sugar-desktop installed telepathy 19:43:32 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742636 19:43:35 #info Proposed NTH, NEW 19:44:17 seems to be a problem if you install both sugar and gnome shell 19:44:32 so that wouldn't affect the sugar live, and could probably be fixed with an update... 19:44:37 so, -1 for me 19:45:10 I'm not sure I understand this whole thing 19:45:28 but yeah, it sounds like a problem with installing sugar-desktop on top of shell 19:45:35 so -1 from me, too 19:46:31 proposed #agreed - 742636 - RejectedNTH - This isn't a problem with SoaS and could be fixed with a post-release update 19:46:50 ack 19:47:00 #agreed - 742636 - RejectedNTH - This isn't a problem with SoaS and could be fixed with a post-release update 19:47:20 OK, that's all the proposed NTH 19:47:55 shall we keep going on to the accepted blockers? 19:49:25 let's not 19:49:38 taken so long already...we can work them offline and we don't have devs around today anyhow 19:49:43 er, async* 19:49:50 works for me 19:50:05 it looks like there are several that are waiting for an anaconda build 19:50:09 so ... 19:50:11 #open floor 19:50:15 sigh 19:50:16 i can do that right now. 19:50:26 #topic open floor 19:50:41 clumens: does it make sense to do that now if we're going to do a TC next week? 19:52:40 I assume that the silence means no other topics 19:52:51 * tflink sets fuse for 3 minutes 19:53:16 yeah, for anaconda, it's probably best to keep working on fixes then do a build next tue or wed 19:53:32 whatever works best 19:53:34 #info The next final blocker bug review meeting will be 2011-10-14 @17:00 UTC 19:53:42 then we'll pull it into TC1 and we can re-review and close all fixed blockers at that point 19:54:07 that sounds like a plan to me 19:54:30 that also means I don't have to build another test ISO :-D 19:54:35 isn't TC1 supposed to be on the 13th? 19:54:40 wait, I was going to do that anyways 19:54:51 robatino: yes. next thursday. 19:55:09 so we need the anaconda build for it one or two days in advance. 19:55:57 and probably poke mgracik about a new lorax build, too 19:56:06 * tflink hopes that he spelled that right 19:56:42 * tflink re-sets fuse for 1 minute 19:57:51 OK, Thanks for coming everyone! 19:57:57 * tflink will send out minutes shortly 19:57:59 #endmeeting
