No reboot problems. 20:05:58 <wilcal> Yup no boots are a problem 20:06:11 <tarazed> One major snag was autoscaling on a laptop with high definition screen - a mess. 20:06:30 <hviaene> Objection!!! 20:06:37 <wilcal> My major issue today, and I share, that M7 is still VERY dynamic. There were 125 updates today 20:06:56 <wilcal> This thing should be settling down by now 20:07:18 <wilcal> There were a LOT of Plasma updates 20:07:23 <Benmc> folks- hi 20:07:26 <MageiaTJ> hviaene: what's up? 20:07:33 <tarazed> Hi Ben 20:07:43 <hviaene> My i586 still refuses to bootafter installation 20:07:58 <wilcal> the M7 repo sees lots of updates 20:08:04 <wilcal> hi bri 20:08:09 <tarazed> Evening Brian 20:08:17 <bri_an> HI wilcal, good evening tarazed 20:08:36 <wilcal> So my point is someone in develop needs to tell us when the expect this thing to settle down 20:08:43 <wilcal> otherwise we could go on forever 20:08:50 <wilcal> Just my thoughts 20:08:54 <MageiaTJ> hviaene: Mine boots OK. No idea why yours wouldn't. 20:08:56 <bri_an> oh the splurge of updates 20:09:05 <tarazed> @hviaene; Does it just freeze or what? 20:09:08 <wilcal> Yes, 125 of them just today 20:09:35 <tarazed> The cauldroon is boiling. 20:09:43 <hviaene> Tarazed: it freezes afer 4 seconds 20:09:43 <bri_an> for sure 20:10:11 <bri_an> is this on start hviaene after the menu selection? 20:10:26 <wilcal> It truely is tar 20:10:40 <wilcal> so M7 is still very unstable 20:10:49 <tarazed> Herman: do you get to see any messages? 20:10:50 <hviaene> After menu selection 20:11:10 <bri_an> try adding noapic to kernel option? 20:11:33 <tarazed> That sounds right. 20:11:35 <bri_an> I'm running a hardware upgrade from 6 to 7 on gnome right now 20:11:36 <hviaene> Loads : bug cannot allocate paging ....somthing alike 20:11:54 <MageiaTJ> I put an ssd in my Probook. I must have something set wrong, as M7 takes longer to boot from that than from a rust drive. Lots longer. 20:12:19 <hviaene> I'll try noapic, I'll report tomorrow 20:12:23 <tarazed> Hardware setting you mean? 20:12:48 <bri_an> upgrade from 6 to 7 on bare metal 20:13:11 <MageiaTJ> Yeah. Maybe. Not sure I have the thing aligned properly. 20:13:13 <hviaene> The m6 bootts fine on the same laptop 20:13:30 <Benmc> hviaene: is that a 32bit hardware system? 20:13:40 <hviaene> yes 20:14:03 <Benmc> Ill try my 32 bitter Desktop this weekend and compare notes 20:14:03 <hviaene> pentium M 20:14:29 <Benmc> amd 2400xp 20:15:00 <wilcal> #chair MageiaTJ 20:15:00 <Inigo_Montoya> Current chairs: MageiaTJ wilcal 20:15:05 <MageiaTJ> Mine's a P4. Just a bit newer. 20:15:29 <MageiaTJ> Oh, no... He gave me responsibility again. 20:15:50 <tarazed> MageiaTJ: right sort of interface cable? 20:16:35 <MageiaTJ> Well, it is a SATA3 drive, but the Probook is SATA2. 20:16:43 <wilcal> I'm a great delegator of responsibility, all of it :-) 20:17:34 <bri_an> I noticed in xfce the flashing screen immediately after login. Anybody else see that? 20:17:35 <MageiaTJ> It's a laptop. Not much I can do about cabling. 20:18:06 <wilcal> So the question to come out of this discussion is is the performance of this set of CI's good enough to ask for the Live discs 20:18:09 <bri_an> once the login is done it is fine, just kind of wonky there in the beginning 20:18:36 <MageiaTJ> Martin uploaded the lives a couple of days ago. 20:18:55 <wilcal> Ohh ok i need to bring those down 20:19:08 <bri_an> yup - pretty solid live versions so far 20:20:00 <Benmc> mostly cosmetic issues for me, except when changing a printer driver 20:20:06 <tarazed> Agreed - not many problems. 20:20:20 <Benmc> see pad for details 20:20:44 <bri_an> my upgrade seems to be having issues. That may be our next area to validate 20:21:21 <Benmc> anything specific? 20:21:27 <wilcal> I have not tried an upgrade yet 20:22:19 <bri_an> to early to tell, it threw a message that a large group of libraries failed. It's trying again 20:22:31 <bri_an> what should I collect for a bug in this case? 20:23:02 <Benmc> bri_an: xfce tearing at login bug 24134 20:23:04 <[mbot> Bug: ['Xfce video tearing at login', 'NEW', 'Jani Välimaa'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24134 20:23:08 <tarazed> MageiaTJ: don't know anything about the standards but there might be a bottleneck there. 20:23:36 <bri_an> benmc thanks 20:25:29 <Benmc> bri_an: if you are using the DVD to uopgrade, after install there should be a report file in drakx 20:25:43 <MageiaTJ> tarazed: Only has a problem during boot, before login. Once in Plasma, it seems OK. 20:25:46 <Benmc> fat fingers grrrr 20:26:02 <bri_an> ok - this is coming off of the DVD yes 20:27:02 <bri_an> wow this round acts like it finished. I'll have to see if it boots 20:27:14 <tarazed> TJ: so Plasma has a Plan B - god for it. 20:28:42 <Benmc> anything else? 20:29:37 <bri_an> LOL - just at the end of the upgrade now getting the 418 object update 20:30:07 <bri_an> yeah - feels more like a beta1 than a 3 to me 20:30:37 <MageiaTJ> Booting the Probook now - two minutes and counting. 20:31:46 <Bequimao> MageiaTJ: Did you recreate the initrds? 20:31:47 <bri_an> nothing from me on m7 20:32:08 <Benmc> text showing anything? 20:32:46 <Benmc> (esc or down arrow keys) 20:33:01 <bri_an> Benmc: if you are asking me, it is busy downloading the 418. If you're talking to TJ :-) 20:33:16 <Benmc> sorry, TJ 20:33:18 <MageiaTJ> I put the ssd in and did a new install. OK, it's up. 4.5 minutes. 20:33:47 <bri_an> Hmm - that should of been seconds with an SSD 20:34:27 <MageiaTJ> Brand new install on a bare drive that had been formatted with Gparted. 20:34:45 <bri_an> is this plasma on old equip? 20:34:57 <wilcal> So I take it from this discussion that we are still a little early for a RC 20:35:13 <wilcal> Probably a Beta 3 release 2 20:35:23 <bri_an> wilcal: I think so, to many updates flying in 20:35:39 <MageiaTJ> Probook 6550b. i3, circa 2010. 20:35:42 <bri_an> I was surprised how stable gnome was 20:35:42 <wilcal> I really want to see that repo settle down for about a week 20:35:56 <wilcal> This is a release blocker for me 20:35:58 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24429 20:36:00 <[mbot> [ 24429 – The best resolution on a Vbox client I can get is 640x480 ] 20:36:51 <wilcal> ANything else on M7 other then keep testing and bugging 20:36:58 <MageiaTJ> I wasn't seeing bug 24189 before, but I am now. 20:37:00 <[mbot> Bug: ['cups.service fails on boot - multiple attempts - have to manually start', 'NEW', 'Thierry Vignaud'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24189 20:37:24 <Bequimao> wilcal: Why? Vbox is not even open source. 20:38:00 <wilcal> It's a critical tool used by a lot of users 20:38:30 <MageiaTJ> I think it may have to do with the guest additions that we provide. 20:38:39 <wilcal> Yes, I agree 20:38:50 <wilcal> tmb just hasn't gotten to it yet 20:38:54 <bri_an> so if you download the ones from virtualbox.org it works 20:38:56 <Bequimao> I use Qemu/KVM instead. 20:38:59 <tarazed> wilcal: my one vbox install had no problem with larger screen sizes 20:40:05 <MageiaTJ> Older guests created with M6 look OK, but they use a different set of additions. 20:40:07 <wilcal> I installed the latest CI, installed Vbox to it, and installed the CI as a Vbox client and it was 640x480 20:40:51 <tarazed> Think that is what I did also. 20:41:06 <tarazed> Need to check. 20:42:05 <bri_an> ok - so I should see this issue on my upgrade that's just finishing 20:42:29 <bri_an> Qemu/KVM - I struggled with that, has it gotten easier? 20:42:45 <wilcal> Anything else on M7? 20:43:58 <bri_an> not here 20:44:15 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates 20:45:38 <wilcal> Are we comfortable with this: 20:45:39 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24519 20:45:41 <[mbot> [ 24519 – Update request: kernel-4.14.106-1.mga6 ] 20:46:35 <bri_an> I tested it some, it worked 20:46:58 <wilcal> So we suggest to tmb to push it on 20:47:14 <tarazed> Reckon so. 20:47:24 <MageiaTJ> I had no problems with my tests. 20:47:52 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24309 20:47:55 <[mbot> [ 24309 – libreoffice new security issue CVE-2018-16858 ] 20:47:59 <wilcal> is still hanging in there 20:48:02 <hviaene> No problems with this kernel 20:48:55 <wilcal> I have to try that new Firefox to see if it has the autoplay audio/video stopper in it 20:49:27 <MageiaTJ> No change that I can see. If you try to update on a non-Plasma system, it still appears to recommend installing libreoffice-kf5. 20:49:28 <wilcal> I works most of the time on 66 but there's a war going on to force videos on you 20:50:03 <wilcal> And we know what that does 20:50:14 <bri_an> drives us crazy? 20:51:01 <wilcal> Anything else on updates other then test as best you can 20:52:03 <bri_an> nope 20:52:31 <bri_an> I'll validate the nextcloud update when I get some bandwidth 20:52:45 <bri_an> Jose did the 64-bit, so I'll spin up a 32 and see how it goes 20:53:31 <wilcal> Anything else on updates? 20:54:47 <wilcal> So lets move on to 20:54:49 <wilcal> #topic Anything else? 20:55:06 <hviaene> No 20:55:08 <wilcal> Just a heads up. In two weeks, April 11, I'll be at the NAB Show: https://www.nabshow.com/ so I won't be here. 20:55:09 <[mbot> [ NAB Show | April 6 - 11, 2019 ] 20:55:31 <MageiaTJ> I just tried resume from hibernate on the Probook, and that was nice and fast. 20:55:31 <wilcal> Everything broadcast 20:55:57 <bri_an> wilcal: that looks fun 20:56:27 <wilcal> It's a great show.
