Is How's it going? 20:04:05 <wilcal> Ok as everyone knows an Atomic Bomb went off inside M7 a couple weeks ago 20:04:31 <wilcal> A huge number of updates have come down the pipe 20:04:47 <Benmc> qt and plasma update 20:04:57 <wilcal> I just completed a netinstall to a Vbox client and everything went well 20:05:16 <Benmc> should be a Mate one too soon 20:05:30 <wilcal> So I'm confident that I can install to real hardware and that will also be successful 20:05:46 <MageiaTJ> Does that Intel driver problem affect vbox? 20:06:03 <wilcal> Vbox uses a Virtual Intel graphics driver 20:06:29 <wilcal> But the test platform use is very Intel center of the road 20:06:56 <wilcal> So I will post that result on the mailing list 20:07:21 <wilcal> I still see one major release blocking bug 20:07:56 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23863 20:07:59 <[mbot> [ 23863 – Timing of the nfs mount not working? ] 20:08:28 <wilcal> I have to manually mount the nfs shares every time on every platform 20:08:43 <wilcal> We have seen this in the past 20:09:03 <Benmc> hello tarazed 20:09:21 <wilcal> We're not there yet but we're back on track to success 20:09:27 <tarazed> Hi Ben. Happy New Year everybody.. 20:09:45 <wilcal> Martin should release new ISOs soon I suspect 20:09:53 <wilcal> Happy New Years to all 20:10:36 <wilcal> So we're kind of in a holding pattern till the new isos are released 20:10:46 <Benmc> jan 4 here, recovered from New years now 20:11:33 <Benmc> has anyone trie the Lives in with persistence? 20:11:34 <MageiaTJ> wilcal:Holding pattern is a familiar place. 20:11:53 <wilcal> There are still a lot of M7 updates every day 20:12:04 <tarazed> No - leaving that for the next round. 20:12:42 <Benmc> you do need the cauldron version of Isodumper 20:13:22 <tarazed> Noted. 20:14:07 <Benmc> it has been updated to enable "persistence" 20:14:42 <wilcal> anything else on M7? 20:15:41 <wilcal> Hello Son 20:15:53 <wilcal> do you have any thoughts on the status of M7? 20:17:19 <wilcal> Ok so lets move on 20:17:22 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates & Backports 20:17:38 <MageiaTJ> List is growing. 20:18:08 <wilcal> Yes, with no isos in M7 I/we should work that list as best we can 20:18:18 <wilcal> anything there that looks daunting 20:18:47 <tarazed> It is good to see people who REALLY know what they are doing mixing in. 20:19:05 <MageiaTJ> A number of things that I don't know enough about to be daunted or not. 20:19:17 <tarazed> ditto 20:20:00 <wilcal> update without error, mention that in the bug and push 20:21:05 <MageiaTJ> OK, I'll validate the samba update after the meeting. James Kerr worked on that one. 20:21:21 <wilcal> Sounds like a plan 20:21:32 <wilcal> anything else on bugs 20:22:31 <rindolf> hi all 20:22:42 <wilcal> Hi rin 20:22:47 <wilcal> Lets back up a little 20:22:55 <tarazed> A good new year to you Shlomi 20:22:59 <wilcal> Anything you want to say on M7 testing? 20:23:07 <rindolf> tarazed: thanks 20:23:14 <wilcal> I did a netinstall this morning and all went well 20:25:11 <kekePower> hit a bit of a snag today. see bug 24119 20:25:13 <[mbot> Bug: ['update-grub2 fails with /usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of ‘/dev/mapper/crypt_sda6’.', 'NEW', 'Mageia Bug Squad'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24119 20:25:29 <kekePower> encrypted root partition 20:26:56 <wilcal> IMO in order to properly test 7 right now you have to start with a blank drive and do a netinstall. 20:27:18 <wilcal> Updating a previous install will only introduce nasty gremlins 20:27:33 <kekePower> and also test encrypting either root or /home or both 20:29:58 <wilcal> I've never tried to encrypt a Mageia drive 20:30:09 <MageiaTJ> Just changed my M7 laptop from the math.princeton mirror to distrib-coffee. 44 updates were waiting. 20:30:48 <wilcal> Yes, i switched over to mirrors.kernel.org and that resonded nicely to rsync 20:31:32 <wilcal> math.princeton mirror is down for some reason 20:31:45 <kekePower> TJ, I think kernel.org is faster than coffee 20:32:03 <wilcal> Yes, it is. 20:32:24 <wilcal> Note: For a very long time I have kept a copy of the repo locally 20:32:37 <wilcal> Right now I have both M6 & M7 20:32:44 <MageiaTJ> I find kernel.org to be annoying with Cauldron. They sync TOO frequently, always when I want to get my updates. 20:33:14 <kekePower> about once an hour, I think 20:33:41 <wilcal> So my local repo has about 500GB and 232500 files 20:34:26 <wilcal> coffee is in France and you'll experience long ping times there 20:34:39 <wilcal> If your here in the States 20:35:04 <MageiaTJ> Well, my Internet service is slow, anyway. I'd not notice the difference. 20:35:32 <wilcal> I always use a local repo just because things like mirrors.kernel.org are so dynamic 20:35:34 <kekePower> isn't coffee a tier 1 mirror? 20:35:53 <wilcal> If your here in the States it's still coming across the pond 20:36:32 <wilcal> In California, and now Sin City USA Coffee is ok by kernel is best 20:36:33 <Benmc> Tj, try mine. you cant get any further away 9maybe) 20:36:49 <kekePower> MageiaTJ: If you want, you can use my mirror. I sync mga6 and 7 every day. Cauldron more than once a day. 20:36:52 <Benmc> ooops, (maybe) 20:36:56 <MageiaTJ> I'll get along until Princeton comes back. 20:37:20 <kekePower> heh 20:37:21 <wilcal> Your using the Repo directly right? 20:37:37 <wilcal> not a local copy 20:38:21 <wilcal> sometimes I do an rsync and when finished to it again 20:38:26 <MageiaTJ> Yes. 20:38:53 <wilcal> Especially in the last week or so with M7 100's of changes 20:39:06 <wilcal> I also take into consideration what the time of the day is in Europe 20:39:39 <wilcal> Evenings and weekends in Europe tend to make the repo more active 20:39:43 <MageiaTJ> Princeton is in New Jersey, less than 500 miles away. Practically in my back yard. 20:40:42 <wilcal> I've never done a traceroute on the Princeton repo 20:40:52 <wilcal> The kernel site is in San Jose 20:40:59 <kekePower> *humming* I would walk 500 miles... 20:41:08 <wilcal> or was 20:42:05 <wilcal> anyway anything else on this otherwise on to anything else 20:42:22 <wilcal> we're kinda there anyway 20:42:28 <wilcal> #topic Anything else? 20:42:36 <MageiaTJ> Well, the university is in NJ. I'm assuming the site is close by. 20:43:18 <wilcal> Sooooo many people switching to cloud services where a server is is a crap shoot. Especially with AWS 20:43:44 <wilcal> AWS is a real cloud it's everywhere 20:43:58 <kekePower> and blocking Sun 20:44:17 <wilcal> AWS dominates about 90% of the Cloud Servers market 20:44:41 <wilcal> I have my own account. Costs me 25 cents per month 20:45:48 <Benmc> Splashed out on a Linx 7 tablet. (yet to arrive) 20:46:04 <wilcal> Christmas gift to yourself 20:46:22 <Benmc> Maybe, Comes with Windows 8.1 and a 32bit EFI. so maybe not 20:46:35 <wilcal> that'll be a challange 20:46:51 <Benmc> See if I can install the Classical Install onto it as the CI is now EFI enabled. 20:47:14 <wilcal> My Christmas Gift to myself was a 4-bay Qnap NAS loaded with four 4TB Seagate drives 20:47:25 <wilcal> that thing is amazing 20:47:28 <kekePower> I almost got my hands on a Dell Poweredge. Would've cost me around USD75 20:47:36 <MageiaTJ> I bought myself a vintage fishing reel. Made in West Germany. Cost me $20. 20:47:41 <wilcal> Nice 20:48:09 <MageiaTJ> A reel of that quality, if you could even find one, would cost more than $300 today. 20:48:28 <wilcal> Ok anything else otherwise its countdown time 20:48:47 <wilcal> try to work those bugs 20:48:52 <wilcal> T-5 20:48:57 <wilcal> Thanks all for coming 20:48:58 <kekePower> Happy and prosperous new year to you all 20:49:12 <wilcal> And a successful M7 release soon 20:49:14 <wilcal> T-4 20:49:30 <wilcal> T-3 20:49:32 <rindolf> kekePower: thanks 20:49:35 <wilcal> T-2 20:49:37 <kekePower> that's thanks to you lot :-) 20:49:44 <wilcal> bye all 20:49:48 <wilcal> T-1 20:49:53 <wilcal> #endmeeting
