I'm unable to get there atm 15:11:33 okay, let's get started ... 15:11:33 #topic F-15-Beta-TC1 status 15:11:33 okay, so this of course doesn't help since I can't access the bug lists 15:11:34 yay, networking back up 15:11:50 Networking is a good thing :-) 15:12:56 has selinux-policy -10 or higher been pushed to stable yet? (required to make the next iso usable) 15:13:30 heh ... zodbot ... catch up 15:13:34 apparently 15:13:41 zodbot: please do the needful 15:13:50 * fenris02 smirks 15:13:51 #topic F-15-Beta-TC1 status 15:14:51 well, let's forge ahead without zodbot, maybe it will catch up 15:14:52 fenris02: yes. (actually, it would never have been a problem for ISO composes, as a 'broken' systemd never made it to stable.) 15:14:53 #link http://bit.ly/f15-beta-blocker-proposed 15:14:55 #link http://bit.ly/f15-beta-blocker-accepted 15:15:01 jlaska: uh, it worked. 15:15:06 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test 15:15:08 #topic F-15-Beta-TC1 status 15:15:08 --- zodbot has changed the topic to: F-15-Beta-TC1 status (Meeting topic: Fedora QA Meeting) 15:15:12 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test 15:15:17 is what I get in my logs. 15:15:24 cool, a few new faces on the Desktop test matrix 15:15:25 yeah, I see it, too 15:15:43 jlaska: caillon and jreiser, so not 'new', but new to desktop testing =) 15:15:49 * rbergeron notes that the intertubes have been broken all to heck all night 15:16:13 so on the desktop matrix we have two questionable 'fails' 15:16:21 i'm keeping an eye on those 15:16:25 * jlaska LAAAAAAGGGED 15:16:45 * jlaska just now catching up 15:17:25 adamw: anyone want to volunteer to #chair here ... the lag is working against me 15:17:34 Could we also use some help around other desktop environments there, or do we focus completely on Gnome? 15:17:38 sorry, not meant for adamw ... anyone really 15:17:55 * jsmith could chair, but doesn't really know the agenda, etc. 15:18:03 vhumpa: only gnome can block the release 15:18:08 oh, and kde 15:18:23 vhumpa: but it's always good to check the others 15:19:03 i also should add a column to that table for 'gnome fallback mode', which i did for alpha iirc - it seems the best way to ensure both shell and fallback are okay 15:19:22 adamw: I can do some tests on KDE if needed 15:19:27 oh, for alpha i just put (fallback) in brackets with some results. but that seems suboptimal. 15:19:28 #info We have until Wednesday (2011-04-06) to wrap up testing of the installation and desktop matrices 15:19:29 vhumpa: sure 15:19:34 please do! 15:19:42 * jlaska runs blocker -> wiki script 15:19:44 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers 15:19:52 fallback is great when updated on VirtualBox4.0.4OSX 15:20:11 * jlaska appears caught up on IRC now 15:20:39 #action adamw will add a 'gnome fallback mode' to the F-15-Beta Desktop test matrix 15:20:50 * vhumpa yays the idea 15:21:07 adamw: I proposed a beta blocker for missing icons in the fallback menus ... assuming those are still covered by our existing menu icon criteria 15:21:10 vhumpa: :) 15:21:28 fallback is fine on Vitrualbox4.0.4 OSX even better when updated 7 missing icons here 15:21:47 the blocker bug counts aren't looking horrible 15:21:51 jlaska: i think that's a final blocker, not beta? 15:22:03 anything additional folks would like to highlight with regards to F-15-Beta-TC1 testing? 15:22:11 jlaska: from final criteria - "All Applications listed in the desktop menus must have icons which have a consistent appearance and sufficiently high resolution to avoid appearing blurry " 15:22:50 networking does not start as pcizp1 is etho and not started till clicked in VB4 15:23:21 adamw: anything you wanted to call out on #topic ? 15:23:28 not really 15:24:14 adamw: KDE should working doing rather well, considering the presumed user shock from G3 ;) 15:24:59 okay, moving on to next topic 15:25:09 679486 still seems to be a problem with KDE. 15:25:16 adamw: yeah 15:25:49 * Viking-Ice joins in late.. 15:25:56 thanks all for some good TC1 testing 15:26:03 there still are a fair number of installer bugs that are in ON_QA 15:26:11 I'll try to knock out 4 or so this afternoon 15:26:19 adamw: yeah, I set it as a Final blocker 15:26:24 using that same criteria 15:26:37 adamw: just was confirming that those criteria also applied ot fallback mode 15:26:41 jlaska: where are we with getting an updated anaconda? 15:26:43 * CRCinAU waves 15:26:52 jlaska: yeah, as i see it, we treat it as another desktop which can also block release. 15:27:31 adamw: okay 15:27:34 CRCinAU: Viking-Ice hello 15:28:19 adamw: we have an updated anaconda, that didn't land in TC1 as intended. We can request a TC2, but I don't know if that's required at this point, thoughts? 15:28:32 did I miss any discussion of bug 689291 or so as yet? 15:28:39 as I'm actually here now ;) 15:28:54 CRCinAU: we're not walking the bug list in this meeting 15:29:01 jlaska: did the latest-latest land? i'm kinda behind the anaconda state of the art. 15:29:03 ah. fair enough then ;) 15:29:05 CRCinAU: but we can highlight specific bugs that aren't getting attention if needed 15:29:25 adamw: I'll circle back w/ clumens after meeting, I suspect there will be another build needed for RC1 15:29:36 well, with Dan Williams tips, I managed to find the root cause of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689291 15:30:03 adamw: do you think a TC2 is appropriate/needed ... or will a boot.iso (nightly build) suffice? 15:30:32 it seems NetworkManager barfs with an ipv6 RA of AdvRDNSSLifetime with a value of infinite. It probably shouldn't barf, but any value other than infinite works. 15:30:32 * jsmith leans towards a TC2 (but isn't nearly as informed as adamw) 15:30:33 jlaska: it doesn't look like we have any real game overs, right? so probably don't need tc2 15:30:44 CRCinAU: can you maybe hold it until it's on topic? 15:30:44 adamw: that's what I'm seeing, but we can always adjust as needed 15:30:56 * CRCinAU holds 15:30:58 thanks 15:31:01 there isn't a lot of time to absorb a TC2 ... but perhaps we can let the bugs do the talking 15:31:36 #action jlaska to discuss next anaconda build with clumens for RC1 15:32:07 adamw: I'll look at the beta blocking bugs linked from the install page after this meeting, we can talk more in #fedora-qa through the details? 15:32:15 sure 15:32:27 #action jlaska review installer beta blockers, discuss w/ adamw on need for TC2 test images 15:32:53 Okay, quick update on upcoming events, and then we'll open up the meeting for discussion 15:32:54 CRCinAU: this isn't a blocker review meeting, so unless there's something for the whole qa group to discuss regarding that bug, we don't necessarily need to bring it up 15:33:02 #topic Upcoming QA events 15:33:07 CRCinAU: this is just the QA weekly meeting... 15:33:17 #info Thursday, April 7 - F-15-Beta RC1 - http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-15/f-15-quality-tasks.html 15:33:35 Shouldn't be a surprise, but it seems we are on target for an RC1 build later this week 15:33:51 * CRCinAU nods - but its a rare miracle I'm actually awake at this time of morning - so I *very* rarely make it to any meetings. 15:34:10 In order to compose an RC, all accepted blocker bugs must have tested builds available 15:34:43 If there are any delays, we can certainly adjust and request TC2 instead ... some flexibility may be needed here 15:34:49 any thoughts/comments/concerns on RC1 scheduled for this week? 15:34:55 i think we're probably in good shape 15:35:18 next up ... 15:35:24 #info Friday, April 1 - F-15-Beta Blocker #5 15:35:27 oops 15:35:29 #undo 15:35:29 Removing item from minutes: 15:35:32 #info Friday, April 8 - F-15-Beta Blocker #5 15:35:33 there we go 15:35:37 cut'n'paste fail 15:35:52 I don't think we have a blocker review scheduled for this Friday 15:36:07 but I've tentatively listed it here, since I suspect some bug review will probably be needed 15:36:18 and, apologies for slacking during the last 2 meetings. I will be present this week 15:37:07 we do not have any test days scheduled this week ... which is good, so we can focus on Beta tests + bugs 15:37:11 yeah, i don't know why we don't schedule one for after the rc. 15:37:20 (blocker meeting that is) 15:37:40 adamw: I just assumed it would be needed, and plan on announcing it again anyway 15:37:44 hopefully someone shows up! 15:37:57 * adamw will 15:38:15 rbergeron: maybe we can add another blocker meeting (for this Friday) to the quality schedule? 15:38:36 jlaska: yes 15:38:45 #info The next scheduled test day is 2011-04-14 - Virtualization (http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/162) 15:38:58 * CRCinAU pricks up his ears 15:39:06 rbergeron: sweet, thanks! 15:39:17 * satellit__ also 15:39:32 Anyone interested in reaching out to jforbes and company on the planned Virtualization test day? 15:39:47 and if said test day includes anything Xen ;) 15:40:05 he pulled the last one together, so i'm not hugely worried about this 15:40:09 CRCinAU: I asked the Xen folks about that, I don't think they were very interested 15:40:13 but yeah, we can just give him a quick ping to remind that it's coming up 15:40:35 * CRCinAU would kill his firstborn for Xen to be native in F15 lol 15:40:43 adamw: I was hoping we could incorporate/recognize some feedback we have from the last 3 virt test day attempts 15:40:56 and try to keep the event more focused 15:41:28 I'll reach out to jforbes in the ticket this week to see what we can do 15:41:44 #action jlaska will check-in with jforbes on the upcoming Virtualization test day 15:41:44 alas, it seems that the kernel still isn't ready for that - it seems .40 or so before the stock kernel will be Xen Dom0 capable - so I guess it'll be beyond the test day scope 15:41:57 jlaska: sounds good 15:41:57 CRCinAU: seems so 15:42:08 #topic Open discussion - 15:42:14 Okay gang, it's that time 15:42:18 unless patches are obtains out of the stock tree for it 15:42:23 any topics not included in the agenda that need our attention in this meeting? 15:42:35 nothing from me 15:42:39 * CRCinAU raises his hand 15:42:52 CRCinAU: what's up? 15:42:52 this is mainly for adamw, but yeah 15:42:52 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689291 15:43:01 #topic Open discussion - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689291 15:43:12 its 'maybe, maybe not' blocker atm - I've pretty much found the root cause. 15:43:39 it seems NetworkManager or its interactions barf with an IPv6 RA for a AdvRDNSSLifetime of infinity 15:43:53 any value other than infinity works as expected. 15:43:58 if it only happens if your router is a custom job with non-default settings, i'm not worried. 15:44:11 if any actual off-the-shelf router would have that setting...maaaybe. 15:44:17 so I have no idea if this will still classify as a blocker or not - as I'm not sure how common this option would be 15:44:21 is this something a *lot* of testers/users will encounter? 15:44:30 in fact, not sure how common *anyone* using IPv6 will be. 15:45:06 well, i think we agreed anything which hits all ipv6 is probably bad. 15:45:12 * satellit__ Bend Oregon has it here 15:45:13 well, the AdvRDNSSLifetime lifetime can be just about anywhere from 0 to infinite. What the 'normal' setup will be is a mystery to me 15:45:22 but given how customized your case is, i'm not sure we can really conclude much from it. 15:45:29 let's ask dcbw in the bug, what his sense is for how common a configuration this is 15:45:33 yeah, good idea. 15:45:42 at the very least, you've got something that could land in CommonBugs 15:45:47 anyone else have ideas? 15:45:53 still, if it's a straightforward fix, the obvious thing would be to Fix The Damn Thing. 15:46:25 * CRCinAU nods. it is a bug, but I don't really believe it to be a blocker - as it's not really a case of any IPv6 RA breaks it as I originally thought it to be 15:47:12 CRCinAU: there are some private repos for Xen Dom0 capable fedora kernels. check out the xen@lists.fp.o archives 15:47:15 CRCinAU: well, in that case ... you can remove blocks:F15Beta and add keyword:CommonBugs 15:47:17 adamw would know about how it fits the criteria for blockers than me ;) 15:47:31 let's follow up in the bug. 15:47:41 commonbugs is worth keeping, i think. 15:47:50 oh, 'and add', doh ;) 15:47:53 nm does not find pci2p1 wired connection on startup with Virtualbox need to click it to start it? 15:47:58 the problem is that there don't see to be *any* default type settings for IPv6 as yet :P 15:48:14 satellit__: please hold 15:48:45 so really, I'm unsure of the effect - however CommonBugs is probably better. 15:49:07 we can wait for dan's feedback. 15:49:07 I'm not a NM guru - but it seems like a simple state of NM thinking infinity == expired 15:49:32 #info based on feedback, recommend removing blocks:F15Beta and possibly adding keyword:CommonBugs 15:50:07 jlaska: i'd rather keep the blocks for now, so we don't forget to re-check it with more info. 15:50:12 thanks CRCinAU 15:50:15 #topic Open discussion - 15:50:43 any other discussion topics that we need to review in this meeting? 15:51:12 What is the status of the Nitrate/Fedora TCMS move? 15:51:21 * jlaska lagging again 15:51:49 Cerlyn: the nitrate package is going through package review, and we are working with infrastructure to setup a pilot demo instance 15:52:20 .bug 690728 15:52:23 jlaska: Bug 690728 Review Request: Nitrate - A test case management system written in Django - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690728 15:52:40 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2673 15:53:31 Cerlyn: does that help? 15:53:46 a bit; I presume we aren't going to use it for F15 testing at this point then? 15:54:10 i wouldn't think so. 15:54:13 thanks 15:54:18 Cerlyn: possibly as a proof-of-concept to identify some kinks ... but not in any *official* capacity 15:54:42 #info Cerlyn asked for status of the nitrate TCMS project 15:54:47 satellit__: was there something you wanted to discuss during this meeting? 15:55:22 he had to start up his ethernet connection manually. which is normal, isn't it? 15:55:25 only that in VirtualBox DVD install does not start pci2p1 15:55:38 yeah, I believe that is by design 15:55:41 works when clicked 15:56:06 if you are performing a network installation, and you've enabled networking during install, it will set things up for the next boot 15:56:14 yeah, if you don't use the network during install, that's intended. 15:56:23 ok 15:56:28 I have created a bug report about that 15:56:31 several releases ago 15:56:32 there is a slightly different behavior here now with the large initrd.img, and I need to verify that the existing behavior remains 15:56:36 agreed as bug, not fixed yet 15:56:39 kparal: knows this issue well :) 15:56:54 *: anything else to call out for the meeting? 15:56:56 * kparal thinks this is the issue why Ubuntu rules. small usability things 15:56:57 hmmmm 15:57:19 is it OT to talk about robatinos disos and alt? 15:57:29 no, what's your question? 15:57:46 depending on the question, we can determine where best to discuss 15:57:50 I think he could *really* use some help getting a way to build the disos on alt. it seems there is some issue with using the makedelta due to compression changes 15:58:09 robatino: what's the trouble, what can we help with? 15:58:23 it's due to alt running rhel, isn't it? 15:58:24 this would make the disos available *much* quicker and save him from downloading many Gb of ISOs for each build 15:58:33 #topic Open discussion - Building deltaISO images for QA 15:58:37 jlaska: CRCinAU: i can do that now 15:58:41 I don't know if hes about at this time of night. 15:58:55 CRCinAU: he joined the meeting, but may have stepped away 15:58:59 the version of xz is different on alt than required in F15 15:59:13 hence you can't create an F15 diso on alt 15:59:34 what did the infrastructre folks suggest? 15:59:41 like i said, i'm able to do it now, so the disos will be much faster 15:59:46 I talked to him the yesterday about maybe (somehow?) getting a static binary of makedelta or similar? 16:00:09 I'm not sure anyone or robatino has spoken to them - or even know how to get in touch with them 16:00:24 they have a mailing list and a trac instance and an irc channel. 16:00:29 Well, that'd be my first step, to check-in with the infrastructure folks who manage those systems 16:00:35 maybe they have ideas or can offer suggestions 16:00:48 Though, I'll be happy to talk further with you or robatino 16:00:53 and I'm sure we can come up with something 16:00:56 maybe yourself or adamw can point robatino in the right direction on doing it? 16:01:12 I don't have any access to alt - so I can't even tinker and see what I can figure out 16:01:16 can anyone read this? 16:01:18 CRCinAU: the same folks who gave robatino access to alt would be a good start 16:01:19 i'd say just mail them. 16:01:22 robatino: yeah, i saw it. 16:01:27 CRCinAU: #fedora-admin or infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org 16:01:33 might be 16:01:36 i also saw like i said, i'm able to do it now, so the disos will be much faster 16:01:37 am I missing something, or is this still an issue if it's currently working? 16:01:41 robatino: eyyy :) 16:01:43 ok, i've been busy saying that i can make the disos on alt now, and apparently no one saw it 16:01:46 adamw: yes. 16:01:48 robatino: hey! 16:01:50 tflink: i think jlaska and crcinau are somehow missing robatino's messages. 16:02:05 robatino is like the devil. Speak his name and he appears ;) LOL 16:02:23 oh - my apologies - I hadn't heard that news. 16:02:34 robatino: so you are not having any difficulties? 16:02:44 I'll talk to you in private about how you managed it, as its probably OT here :) 16:02:55 no, the only little issue is that i don't have a metalink executable that will run on alt 16:03:18 it first appeared in F11, alt is EL5.6 which is based on FC6 16:03:19 #info these are not the droids you are looking for 16:03:38 that can probably get sorted out, maybe via epel? 16:03:50 tflink: I think this is a non-issue ... robatino, confirm? 16:03:54 it just means that i have to download my deltas in order to make and post the .metalink files, so there will be a little delay 16:04:18 * jlaska lagging 16:04:21 oh okay. 16:04:24 so...nothing to see here, move along? 16:04:32 robatino: okay, cool ... thanks for the update 16:04:52 #topic Open discussion - 16:04:52 robatino, adamw, jlaska: my apologies - I thought it was still broken. 16:05:08 Okay, setting the fuse for 2 minutes (and likely longer since I appear to be lagging still) 16:05:18 If no other topics, I'll #endmeeting soon 16:05:35 see what happens when you miss out on 24 hours of news ;) LOL 16:05:41 CRCinAU: no worries 16:06:50 adamw: I saw them ... just lagged on my end 16:07:06 Last call for topics ... 16:08:34 Okay, closing out the meeting since there are no other topics 16:08:43 thanks everyone, I'll send minutes to the list later today 16:08:53 #endmeeting
