Advance? 20:08:34 <lewyssmith> #topic Mageia 6 - Progress? 20:08:36 <wilcal> #topic Magi 20:08:52 <wilcal> #topic Mageia 6 - Progress 20:09:13 <wilcal> I don't see much for now. I'd expect something in the next week. 20:09:23 <wilcal> I donno about isos though 20:10:05 <wilcal> Still some serious issues especially those pesky scripts being run that don't work very well 20:10:14 <lewyssmith> Let sleeping dogs lie. It will surface in due course. 20:10:36 <wilcal> With FOSDEM pending that's gonna take some cycles 20:10:59 <lewyssmith> It is not due to be ready for Fosdem. 20:11:35 <wilcal> That's correct. I saw mention of an ARM version on Raspberry Pi that may be demonstrated at FOSDEM 20:12:05 <lewyssmith> That *is* interesting. Caroline's domain. 20:12:29 <wilcal> I'd love to have that at SCALE in a couple weeks 20:12:46 <wilcal> next year 20:13:06 <wilcal> Lets move on 20:13:11 <lewyssmith> #topic Testing updates - Any problems, difficulties, issues? 20:13:39 <wilcal> A little/lot lax on my part the last week but started get'n back into it today 20:14:20 <lewyssmith> I have been busy recently - at last. But there are several difficult ones. 20:14:25 <brian_> Struggled on mine #link https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17417 20:14:34 <wilcal> There's a kernel/Vbox out there look'n like they're ripe to be pushed. Anyone have anything else on these 20:14:36 <brian_> agreed 20:15:03 <wilcal> If Luigi / tmb joins us I'd like to get those pushed 20:15:46 <lewyssmith> brian_: Courageous of you to try libvirt. 20:16:11 <lewyssmith> Hello Ben. 20:16:19 <brian_> glad I was able to flush and create new VM's to reinstall 20:17:18 <Benmc> good morning Lewys, QA. sorry for being late: still on holiday time 20:18:05 <lewyssmith> xen, docker, roundcubemail, openvpn at least are all heavy to test. 20:19:20 <lewyssmith> wilcal: Anf despite your heroic efforts, libtiff is recalcitrent. 20:19:30 <wilcal_> back 20:19:32 <brian_> I have limited hours to research - openvpn pretty complex or just need two machines? 20:20:04 <lewyssmith> Needs a lot of know-how, at least. 20:20:43 <brian_> k 20:21:09 <lewyssmith> I am trying Wireshark, hampered by ignorance! 20:21:14 <wilcal_> I'm struggling with 20:21:17 <wilcal_> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15519 20:21:38 <wilcal_> Maybe luigi will agree to just push it it looks ok 20:22:02 <lewyssmith> He says there is more to come on it. 20:22:06 <wilcal_> ya 20:22:10 <wilcal_> hello tj 20:22:14 <lewyssmith> Hello TJ. Happy New Year. 20:22:16 <wilcal_> lite meeting today 20:22:22 <tjandrews> Hello! 20:23:09 <tjandrews> Sorry I'm late. Just got a call on my brother's mother-in-law with a health update. 20:23:29 <tjandrews> All sounds good. 20:23:38 <wilcal_> good to go 20:23:54 <tjandrews> So what did I miss? 20:24:03 <wilcal_> any bugs you got issues with tj? 20:24:47 <tjandrews> No, none that I can think of right now. 20:25:06 <wilcal_> we're still wait'n on M6 isos 20:25:29 <tjandrews> I tried testing the update of Libreoffice, and ran into a bunch of unsigned packages. 20:25:56 <tjandrews> All in the bug report. 20:26:04 <lewyssmith> It is now marked 'feedback'. 20:26:44 <tjandrews> New kernel and VirtualBox is working OK for me. 20:26:53 <wilcal_> I think there's maybe 6 big ones in there that can be pushed 20:27:00 <wilcal_> Thanks for that work tj 20:27:05 <wilcal_> yep i agree 20:27:14 <lewyssmith> VB has not been OK'd at all. 20:27:22 <tjandrews> Oops. They ARE working OK. Sigh. Haven't made that mistake since grade school. 20:28:01 <lewyssmith> What are working OK? 20:28:02 <wilcal_> Lets see if Luigi agrees and we can move those along 20:28:15 <tjandrews> Kernel AND VB. 20:28:25 <wilcal_> Kernel + Vbox updates 20:28:27 <wilcal_> both together work fine 20:28:41 <lewyssmith> So VB needs OKing? 20:29:02 <wilcal_> If we can move those along before the next meeting that would be a big accomplishment 20:29:38 <tjandrews> Well, I suppose I could update the whiteboard. So, if I'm using VB on a 64-bit host with 32-bit guests, do I say 64bit OK or 32? 20:29:45 <wilcal_> no tmb, MrsB here today 20:30:02 <wilcal_> I don't consider Vbox in a 32-environment a valid test 20:30:19 <wilcal_> even though it works 20:30:43 <wilcal_> it really needs 8GB to breath 20:30:54 <lewyssmith> I do not see the point of it if you have x64. 20:30:55 <brian_> but running a 32bit client inside of VB would be fine 20:31:02 <brian_> you're running on a 64-bit host 20:31:07 <wilcal_> yup 20:31:18 <brian_> so if it were me, I'd check 64-bit ok 20:31:42 <wilcal_> Figure Vbox will eat 2GB of DRAM and with only 3.2GB available that ain't enough 20:32:03 <tjandrews> I was wondering about that, actually. I have a 32-bit Mageia 5 on this machine(server kernel, 8GB RAM, Athlon X2), but haven't installed VB on it yet, so I can't test it. 20:32:21 <wilcal_> it will work but will disk swap all day long 20:32:25 <Luigi12_work> nope 20:32:30 <Luigi12_work> with the server kernel you can use more RAM 20:32:43 <Luigi12_work> no more than 3.something per VM (which is fine) but total you can use as much as you have 20:32:57 <wilcal_> Ahhh it's luigi 20:33:06 <lewyssmith> Greeting David. 20:33:08 <Luigi12_work> and I've tested every OS under the sun as guests, including several Linux distros, but haven't tested the Mageia guest side yet 20:33:12 <Luigi12_work> hello 20:33:21 <wilcal_> I've just not been able to get it to run comfortably on my 32-bit platform 20:33:40 <tjandrews> The VMs on my 64-bit install are both 2GB. 20:33:54 <tjandrews> Hi, David. 20:34:30 <wilcal_> Can we push the Kernel & Vbox updates Luigi? 20:35:44 <Luigi12_work> probably, I've mostly tested them. Has a graphical Mageia guest with updated vboxadditions stuff been verified working OK? 20:35:50 <Luigi12_work> otherwise I can test that Saturday 20:35:55 <Luigi12_work> the kernel is defeinitely OK 20:36:17 <wilcal_> lets see if we can push those before next meeting. 20:36:22 <wilcal_> That would be a big accomplishment 20:36:29 <Luigi12_work> yeah I'll OK them Saturday on 32-bit if it hasn't been by then 20:36:37 <tjandrews> Hmm. Actually, VB would make a good test of the 32-bit server kernel's advertised capabilities. 20:36:40 <wilcal_> super deal 20:37:18 <wilcal_> anything else otherwise we can turn the podium over to luigi 20:37:27 <tjandrews> I've used my Mageia 5 guest a little, and it looked OK. 20:37:37 <Luigi12_work> when was our last meeting? 20:37:46 <wilcal_> 3-weeks ago 20:37:46 <lewyssmith> Last year... 20:38:04 <Luigi12_work> thanks wilcal_ 20:38:15 <wilcal_> #topic Luigi's Roundup 20:38:34 <lewyssmith> [I had it ready] 20:38:44 <Luigi12_work> we need to update ruby for a new security issue 20:38:53 <Luigi12_work> oops topic hasn't changed yet 20:39:11 <lewyssmith> #topic Luigi's roundup - Upcoming security updates from Luigi12 20:39:15 <Luigi12_work> only wilcal (without the underscore) and lewyssmith can change it 20:39:17 <wilcal_> there we go 20:39:20 <Luigi12_work> we need to update ruby for a new security issue 20:39:30 <Luigi12_work> we need to update to samba4 as samba3 is EOL and there's security issues 20:39:33 <Luigi12_work> that will be some work 20:39:48 <Luigi12_work> mono has a security issue that needs patched 20:40:03 <Luigi12_work> librsvg has a couple security issues, so it needs to be patched or updated 20:40:16 <Luigi12_work> encfs has an issue and needs to be patched or updated 20:40:25 <Luigi12_work> pcre has another issue, unfixed yet upstream last I checked 20:40:44 <Luigi12_work> radicale has some security issues which may affect the Mageia 5 version, not absolutely sure yet 20:41:00 <Luigi12_work> dhcpcd has a couple fixes that were committed upstream this week, waiting for the next release to come out and I'll update that one 20:41:12 <Luigi12_work> that's the new ones since last time 20:41:20 <wilcal_> sounds good 20:41:30 <rindolf> hi all! Oh I missed the meeting eventually. 20:41:31 <Luigi12_work> yeah, definitely need some packager help 20:41:37 <wilcal_> people should be starting to reengage 20:41:41 <Luigi12_work> hope so 20:41:49 <lewyssmith> Seconded. 20:41:52 <wilcal_> we should move on 20:41:54 <Luigi12_work> I went on a package updating binge in Cauldron over my vacation break 20:42:04 <Luigi12_work> wore out my hands and wrists and forearms 20:42:15 <Luigi12_work> they'll recover eventually I guess 20:42:24 <wilcal_> you do the honors lew 20:42:28 <lewyssmith> #topic Anything else? 20:42:44 <tjandrews> You should do what I do to build them up - handle hay bales. 20:42:48 <wilcal_> I'm confused on the libtiff thingy can we just push that 20:43:13 <wilcal_> i think it's ok 20:43:34 <Luigi12_work> and you asked about libtiff and wireshark earlier...probably gonna lean toward pushing but not sure yet. Gonna see if upstream responds to my last reply on libtiff and see what Pierre thinks for wireshark (and I need to test it myself too). 20:43:57 <wilcal_> lets make a decision before next meeting 20:44:04 <lewyssmith> I am trying WS now. 20:44:21 <wilcal_> intersting package ws iss 20:44:34 <wilcal_> widely used i hear 20:44:42 <lewyssmith> Any advice about what to do with it? 20:45:25 <Luigi12_work> download the pcap files from the bugs referenced in the upstream release notes and open them with wireshark 20:45:51 <lewyssmith> I thought it mostly about Qt5. 20:45:54 <Luigi12_work> if they aren't too long (too many packets) you can scroll through the packets too, so the analyzer runs on each one 20:46:04 <Luigi12_work> well it was, but now it's a security update as well 20:46:32 <Luigi12_work> if you want to add yourself to the wireshark group and stuff you can do some packet captures too 20:46:49 <lewyssmith> That is happening - dumpcap. 20:46:55 <Luigi12_work> that's not quite as important, since captures are often done with other tools. Wireshark is more useful for analysis. 20:47:55 <lewyssmith> How do you make it analyse a pcap file? 20:48:15 <Luigi12_work> just open it 20:48:39 <Luigi12_work> it'll automatically open the first packet in the analysis pane at the bottom 20:48:51 <Luigi12_work> then you can click the second packet and keep scrolling down through the rest with the keyboard 20:49:07 <lewyssmith> Thanks. 20:50:15 <wilcal_> anything else 20:50:36 <lewyssmith> I am still having bad problems selecting testing updates. 20:50:55 <wilcal_> which mirror are you using 20:51:15 <lewyssmith> The main French one, ispcoffee or similar. 20:51:25 <Luigi12_work> distrib-coffee? 20:51:26 <wilcal_> ooo should be a good one 20:51:31 <lewyssmith> Yes. 20:51:34 <Luigi12_work> it has been down the last few times I have checked 20:51:37 <Luigi12_work> I'd switch mirrors 20:51:43 <lewyssmith> How? 20:51:47 <wilcal_> mirrors.kernel.org is what i use 20:52:16 <Luigi12_work> belnet.be, kernel.org, snt.utwente.nl, and voka.sublink.org are usually good ones 20:52:22 <tjandrews> James Whitby in the US for me. 20:52:35 <Luigi12_work> yeah I've used that one in one of my VMs, works fine too 20:52:44 <lewyssmith> How do you choose a mirror? I always leave it to the system. 20:53:09 <tjandrews> Ah, that might be your problem. 20:53:33 <wilcal_> I use a line of code to change 20:53:37 <Luigi12_work> go into the media manager and tell it to add a specific mirror (it's in the menu bar at the top) 20:53:47 <lewyssmith> Thanks. 20:53:50 <Luigi12_work> then remove the mirrorlist media entries 20:53:52 <tjandrews> Under "File" 20:54:43 <lewyssmith> OK, I'm done. 20:54:51 <wilcal_> in a su terminal 20:54:53 <wilcal_> urpmi.addmedia core ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/5/i586/media/core/release with media_info/hdlist.cz 20:55:08 <wilcal_> erase all the existing with 20:55:30 <wilcal_> urpmi.removemedia -a 20:55:50 <tjandrews> lewysmith, some of the mirrors don't sync as often as others. You might get one of the slow ones if you use mirrorlist. 20:56:44 <lewyssmith> distrib-coffee is normally the reference. 20:57:40 <lewyssmith> Countdown? 20:57:45 <wilcal_> agreed 20:57:53 <wilcal_> you've got the honors lewy 20:58:00 <lewyssmith> -5 20:58:08 <tjandrews> I don't pretend to know how a mirror is chosen from mirrorlist, I only know I have fewer problems with a specific mirror. 20:58:08 <lewyssmith> Bonne année to all. 20:58:10 <lewyssmith> -4 20:58:14 <wilcal_> bye all 20:58:19 <lewyssmith> -3 20:58:26 <lewyssmith> -2 20:58:29 <lewyssmith> -1 20:58:29 <tjandrews> Bye... 20:58:42 <lewyssmith> #endmeeting
