[13:07] <NCommander> burndown chart looking happier
[13:08] <StevenK> Sorry about that
[13:08] <NCommander> StevenK: np
[13:08] <plars> hmm, not the beta1 one
[13:11] <NCommander> Anyone else have anything to say on the burndown charts, or can I move on?
[13:11] <davidm> NCommander, they look better then I expected so move on
[13:11] <GrueMaster> forward, hoa
[13:11] <NCommander> [topic] Kernel Status (cooloney, ericm)
[13:11] <MootBot> New Topic:  Kernel Status (cooloney, ericm)
[13:12] <ericm_> I guess cooloney is on his biz travel to Beijing
[13:13] <ericm_> from dove POV, nothing really interested, Marvell has another several fixing patches but none of them addresses any LP bugs
[13:13] <ericm_> I've sent the git pull request to apw just now, together with a workaround for the audio crash bug in mplayer
[13:13] <ericm_> and hopefully we'll get a new kernel in several days
[13:14] <NCommander> nice
[13:14] <GrueMaster> The mplayer crash was fixed in latest kernel.
[13:14] <NCommander> ericm_: can I move on?
[13:14] <apw> will try and get you a test kernel today
[13:14] <ericm_> NCommander, yes please
[13:14] <ericm_> apw, thanks
[13:14] <NCommander> [topic] QA Status (GrueMaster, plars)
[13:14] <MootBot> New Topic:  QA Status (GrueMaster, plars)
[13:15] <GrueMaster> I've posted some bullets on the meeting web page.
[13:15] <plars> looks like someone already put some decent status there, thanks GrueMaster
[13:15] <GrueMaster> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Meeting/2010/20100316\

[13:15] <plars> big thing this week is beta 1
[13:15] <plars> please help test images (if/when they become available)
[13:15] <plars> speaking of which... is there something we need to do to get the images to show up there?
[13:16] <plars> for armel that is?
[13:16] <plars> oh wait
[13:16] <plars> they are now it seems
[13:16] <persia> plars: It's often just a matter of timing, etc.
[13:16] <plars> nm... odd that I didn't get subscription notification of them
[13:16] <GrueMaster> I asked yesterday, and they mentioned needing to do a respin due to an Ubiquity issue.
[13:17] <plars> I am down to just my imx51 board, so anyone who has stuff to test on, would be very useful
[13:17] <GrueMaster> Yes, interesting.  I didn't either.
[13:18]  * GrueMaster also notices a netboot with 20081029ubuntu90?
[13:18] <GrueMaster> date seems to be a bit off.
[13:19] <NCommander> GrueMaster: looks like a QA tracker bug, i386/amd64 are the same
[13:19] <GrueMaster> Ah
[13:19] <StevenK> netboot's are built with the version number of d-i, not the date.
[13:19] <StevenK> So it isn't a bug
[13:19] <GrueMaster> ah, that would explain it.
[13:20] <GrueMaster> In more critical news, I have narrowed down the bug on imx51 suspend.  It isn't a kernel issue.
[13:22] <GrueMaster> I tested several images since Alpha 3, and found that the image dated 0303 works, but 0305 does not.  The only relevant package that I can tell that changed was pm-utils, but that was a fix for nvidia only.  Doubt that it would make a difference, but I plan on testing it anyways to see.
[13:23] <GrueMaster> The interesting part is that if you start with an image from 0303 and just run updates, it will still work.
[13:23] <persia> What!
[13:24] <plars> GrueMaster: that's not completely true, at least in my experience
[13:24] <NCommander> GrueMaster: ow
[13:24] <persia> That points at some difference in how the packages are configured during image build.
[13:24] <plars> GrueMaster: when I got the new kernel, it broke for me, starting at the 0303 image
[13:24] <NCommander> plars: GrueMaster: are you both testing on the same hardware revisions?
[13:24] <plars> reverting to the one that cooloney gave us, fixed it for me
[13:24] <plars> babbage 3.0 is what I'm on
[13:25] <GrueMaster> Same here.  I'll test the new kernel on 0303.  I had thought that you reported the new kernel as working, but you had only been doing updates (hence my deduction).
[13:26] <plars> I reported in the bug that the rebuilt kernel that he pointed to in the previous comment worked for me
[13:26] <GrueMaster> yes, that was what I thought.
[13:27] <GrueMaster> I had said that the same kernel failed for me, but I was testing off a newer image.
[13:28] <GrueMaster> At any rate, it is a regression that so far isn't entirely kernel based.
[13:28] <plars> clearly there's some more investigation to be done here, but I think we can work on that outside the meeting
[13:29] <NCommander> [action] GrueMaster & plars to investigate imx51 suspend issue offline
[13:29] <MootBot> ACTION received:  GrueMaster & plars to investigate imx51 suspend issue offline
=== doko_ is now known as doko
[13:30] <NCommander> anything else on the topic we need?
[13:30] <ericm_> NCommander, just wondering why there is no recent image on cdimage?
[13:30] <GrueMaster> Nothing new to report on the sound issue with dove.  More testing is needed, and the new kernel patches "may" fix it.
[13:30] <ericm_> still
[13:30] <GrueMaster> ericm_: 20100316 isn't recent enough?
[13:31] <ericm_> GrueMaster, convince me with URL?
[13:31] <plars> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntu-netbook/ports/daily-live/
[13:31] <MootBot> LINK received:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntu-netbook/ports/daily-live/

[13:32] <plars> ericm_: could be that you are looking under the old location?
[13:32] <ericm_> no more desktop? sorry I think I missed something
[13:32] <plars> a few weeks back, desktop was dropped yes
[13:32] <GrueMaster> Desktop builds were stopped during the sprint.
[13:32] <plars> in favor of netbook 2d launcher based images
[13:32]  * ericm_ oops
[13:33] <plars> :)
[13:33]  * ericm_ starts the downloading
[13:33] <persia> Um, just as a side note, there may still be some leftover images, but they were *intended* to be dropped.
[13:33] <StevenK> Sorry, I probably should have told the kernel guys that
[13:33] <StevenK> persia: Can we spend some time tomorrow going over that?
[13:33] <GrueMaster> I thought they knew since they were at the sprint working with us.
[13:33] <persia> NCommander: Could you action me to kill the rest of the leftover images tomorrow?
[13:33] <ericm_> StevenK, that's OK - my bad - because I'm still seeing desktop images maybe a weeks ago
[13:33] <NCommander> [action] persia to bring death to leftover images on antimony
[13:33] <MootBot> ACTION received:  persia to bring death to leftover images on antimony
[13:34] <persia> StevenK: Absolutely.  Sorry it slipped my mind today.
[13:34] <persia> NCommander: It's beryllium/chromium/etc. I care about : more poisonous metals I leave for other folk, but sure.
[13:35] <StevenK> ericm_: Where are you seeing those images?
[13:35]  * persia is also curious, because a week ago there should not have been a desktop live
[13:35] <StevenK> Indeed, I killed it with fire
[13:35] <StevenK> persia: Currently only chromium
[13:35] <ericm_> StevenK, maybe cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily-live/* - but I cannot remember the date, maybe back several weeks ago
[13:36] <StevenK> ericm_: There's no armel there now :-)
[13:36] <persia> StevenK: That wasn't true when I synced 12 hours ago, but sure :)
[13:36] <persia> ericm_: Several weeks ago, I'd believe.
[13:36] <ericm_> StevenK, persia, now I'm clear - thanks
[13:36] <StevenK> persia: I just got defeated by the round-robin-dns-but-we'll-only-tell-you-one thing
[13:36] <persia> Anyway, let's move on.  ericm_ will play with netbook images, and StevenK and I will fiddle scripts to make sure everything is clean.
[13:37] <NCommander> [topic] ARM Application status (JamieBennett, dyfet)
[13:37] <MootBot> New Topic:  ARM Application status (JamieBennett, dyfet)
[13:37] <persia> StevenK: Yeah.  I only see multiple names because I watch iftop during my mirror runs sometimes :)
[13:38]  * NCommander pokes dyfet 
[13:39] <dyfet> We have decided not to package canola2 for lucid
[13:39] <persia> Considering how many freezes are in effect, that's a good thing :)
[13:40] <dyfet> Well more to the point, parts of it are using entirely depreciated dependencies that we should not package either
[13:40] <dyfet> So we may not be using it in lucid +1 either...
[13:42] <ian_brasil> but if you have the 2D launcher you have the dependencies, no?
[13:42] <persia> We did get a different enlightment media player into lucid though.
[13:42] <dyfet> It also uses etk
[13:42]  * persia checks
[13:42] <dyfet> and epsilon
[13:42] <persia> enna
[13:44] <NCommander> may I move on?
[13:44] <dyfet> yes
[13:44] <NCommander> [topic] ARM Porting/FTBFS status (NCommander, dyfet)
[13:44] <MootBot> New Topic:  ARM Porting/FTBFS status (NCommander, dyfet)
[13:45] <NCommander> OOo is almost resolved. ARM sent a revised patch which I need to test
[13:45] <NCommander> chromium-browser is showing some odd platform specific behavior. Bugs filed
[13:45] <NCommander> (also a general bug with it in UNE)
[13:48] <NCommander> dyfet: anything else to add?
[13:48] <plars> NCommander: did you file a bug on the decoration/maximus issue?
[13:48] <dyfet> Yes
[13:48] <dyfet> I had a small patch for squid ftbfs
[13:49] <persia> You fixed squid!  Excellent!.
[13:49] <dyfet> Well, I took Loic's suggestion...
[13:49] <dyfet> And made it into a patch :)
[13:49] <NCommander> plars: yeah, its tagged une since its not armel specific
[13:50] <plars> NCommander: great, I was going to offer if you hadn't already
[13:51] <NCommander> [topic] ARM Image Status (ogra, persia)
[13:51] <MootBot> New Topic:  ARM Image Status (ogra, persia)
[13:51] <persia> Images seem to be building, but are still a bit buggy.
[13:52] <persia> squid was the last big missing piece on Monday (didn't check today)
[13:52] <persia> I'm having an issue that I can't boot some recent images, but I think that's just me.
[13:52] <persia> Nothing else, unless someone else has something.
[13:53] <NCommander> [topic] Any Other Business
[13:53] <MootBot> New Topic:  Any Other Business
[13:53] <GrueMaster> Are we going to have kexec this cycle?
[13:54] <GrueMaster> I believe that is what is needed for dual booting images, right?
[13:54] <NCommander> GrueMaster: no
[13:54] <NCommander> not unless something drastically changes between now and release
[13:55] <GrueMaster> If we are not going to have a supported method for dual booting, I would like to suggest we remove the side-by-side installation option from Ubiquity.
[13:56] <GrueMaster> Since the only way to dual boot currently is with a lot of magic and a serial port.
[13:56] <NCommander> GrueMaster: file a bug :-)
[13:57] <NCommander> anything else, or can I close out the meeting
[13:57] <ian_brasil> Ubuntu Liquid Update: I spoke with the upstream author of plasma mobile @ the Bossa Conference and he is happy for us to work on making it available in ubuntu :). He said an October time frame is realistic if we help out on Kwin and other issues. There is now an official initiative to break up kde libs http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-maemo/2010-February/000059.html and we are participating on that too. We would like the standing item back and w
[13:57] <ian_brasil> ant to have everything in-archive by the week of 3rd June, so we can play with Alpha 1
[13:58] <NCommander> ian_brasil: woo. Sounds like we'll have a ubuntu-liquid-remix for lucid+1
[13:58] <NCommander> :-)
[13:58] <ian_brasil> it is not called remix now..just ubuntu liquid
[13:59] <persia> Well, we'll see.
[13:59] <NCommander> ian_brasil: I thought it had to be called remix unless approved by the TB
[13:59] <persia> We'll try to make it not a remix, at least.
[13:59] <persia> NCommander: No, it has to be called a remix unless it's a flavour.
[13:59]  * NCommander notes persia would probably know the trademark policy better than I will
[13:59] <ian_brasil> ok..either is fine by me
[13:59] <persia> It isn't yet clear whether that needs TB approval (although I think it ought).
[13:59] <NCommander> ian_brasil: we'll have something. What that something is called is $UNDEFINED
[13:59]  * NCommander notices a running tread with platform related items, and names
[13:59] <persia> NCommander: Not trademark, but anyway, yeah.
[14:00] <NCommander> any objections if I close out the meeting?
[14:00] <NCommander> #endmeeting
[14:00] <MootBot> Meeting finished at 09:00.
