Weekly Reports

Jamie Bennett (JamieBennett)

This Week

  • Investigated casper preseed regression due to recent changes. Turns out to be a product of closing the debconf-communicate channel in the wrong way which leads to the database still being open.
  • More testing of the 2D launcher.
  • Thumb2 research and mini-sprint with the team.
  • Suspend/Hibernate testing on iMX51, now works.

  • Blogged about the new casper changes - http://www.linuxuk.org/2010/02/ubuntu-live-cds-now-33-faster/

  • Mythbuntu documentation work.
  • General team admin, monthly team report, meeting minutes, e.t.c.

Future

Michael Casadevall (NCommander)

This Week

  • Worked for two days from Lexington office
  • Began investigation into OOo building issues on ARM and GCC 4.4
  • Did work on improving ARM softbootloader to the point of installable proof-of-concept package
  • Worked with OEM on showing them how to bring up their Dove boards.
  • Investigated making erlang Thumb-2 safe
    • - Code uses handwritten ARM ASM for bindings, and does direct pointer manipulation in addition to generating its own code. Postponed due to OOo taking higher priority.

Future

  • OOo investigation continues
  • imx51 board bringups

Paul Larson (plars)

This Week

  • Transferred the Pairwise testscases and tests from iso tracker to http://pairwise.qa.ubuntu.com

  • Submitted a patch for the QA website to add support for the new netbook-armel images. This has already been merged, so everything should be all set for Alpha 3 testing when it begins
  • Did some testing on netbook-launcher-efl, submitted some bugs
  • Implemented some more tests for the suspend/resume testing blueprint, which has already uncovered some bugs:
    • bug #521156 - pluging usb devices while suspended causes crash

Future

  • Finish up suspend/resume testing
  • Setup and testing on some new hardware that arrived

Emmet Hikory (persia)

  • Learn lots about Thumb2 porting, and try a couple packages (with success in the case of lwp)

  • Investigate a strange build-dependencies installation failure for kdebindings (without success Sad :( )

  • Look at schroot FTBFS, also scan for give-back opportunities for armel
  • Review state of liquid stuff to try to figure out what can be part of lucid (by FF)

Oliver Grawert (ogra)

This Week

* debugging rootstock oem-config integration for the various frontends (very time consuming, still lots of oem-config bugs spotted) * started rootstock gui (mockup under http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/rootstock-gui.png ) * reviewed pm-utils scripts, nothing that gets in our way on armel (yay) * plenty of ftbfs give backs * tested nebook-launcher-efl (some bugs not filed yet (font or icon size not adjustable, plugged devices dont show up in the launcher etc))

Future

* finish rootstock gui to be suitable for FF * turn non FF critical items of rootstock into bugs for proper tracking * still need to collect more detailed vendor info for idle power expectations on imx51 * post FF: upstream uboot patches for imx51

Meeting Log

 * To be added.
