If you are then come and say Hi 20:07:19 <MrsB> Morning all 20:07:27 <MrsB> Thanks Dave 20:07:36 <MrsB> Is there anybody new here today? 20:08:07 <MrsB> don't think so 20:08:12 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Mageia 6 - So close.. 20:08:24 <MrsB> So near yet so far 20:08:29 <MrsB> ennael wdyt? 20:08:46 <DavidWHodgins> Classical iso are ready in my opinion, with the possible exception of bug 11446 20:08:47 <[mbot> Bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11446 enhancement, Normal, ennael1, REOPENED , consider making the size of the clasic istallation iso's smaller 20:08:52 <lewyssmith> Claire, can you please explain that long list you sent to Anne? 20:08:58 <MrsB> yes sure 20:09:00 <wilcal> I think we've reached a level where it certainly installs on hardware 20:09:14 <MrsB> In each ISo directory is a file iso-name.idx 20:09:14 <ennael> DavidWHodgins: it's on my todo list 20:09:19 <DavidWHodgins> lewyssmith: They are packages on the iso images that are not used (they are for older kernels) 20:09:20 <ennael> for dev2 20:09:25 <DavidWHodgins> Ok 20:09:28 <wilcal> is that enough to release dev1? 20:09:46 <DavidWHodgins> For classical yes. I haven't looked at live much. How are they looking? 20:09:46 <MrsB> The idx files show the packages listed on the iso 20:09:54 * MrsB trying to explain 20:10:10 <wilcal> we need one more go around on the Live iso's I think 20:10:16 <lewyssmith> MrsB: How does one know they are no longer used? 20:10:29 <MrsB> the classical isos currently have kernel mods for various old kernels, which have now been superceded 20:10:34 <DavidWHodgins> lewyssmith: By the kernel version number in the package names 20:10:46 <wilcal> be nice if they'd boot in Vbox but not a show stopper 20:11:11 <MrsB> eg. nvidia-current-kernel-4.4.2-desktop-2.mga6-352.79 is for kernel 4.4.2 20:11:21 <TheSuperGeek> So what's the problem? 20:11:35 <TheSuperGeek> (sorry I had a bug with internet) 20:11:36 <lewyssmith> MrsB: Manual perusal? 20:11:36 <MrsB> these are the prebuilt kernel modules which are only relevant for that specific kernel 20:11:45 <DavidWHodgins> TheSuperGeek: Space. The iso images are too large to fit on a 4GB usb stick. 20:12:04 <MrsB> Akien apotted virtualbox actually, we were looking for ways to reduce the size. A grep found the rest 20:12:10 <wilcal> is that a firm requirement to fit inside 4GB? 20:12:11 <MrsB> spotted 20:12:12 <TheSuperGeek> DavidWHodgins: sad but who use 4gb usb keys ? 20:12:21 <DavidWHodgins> That's what bug 11446 is about 20:12:31 <DavidWHodgins> TheSuperGeek: Quite a few people do 20:12:41 <TheSuperGeek> DavidWHodgins: 8gb keys are at the same price :P 20:12:45 <DavidWHodgins> It's a hard requirement for the final, not for 6dev1 20:12:48 <lewyssmith> These days a 4Gb stick hardly is to be found. 20:13:04 <DavidWHodgins> That may be true in some places, not in all. 20:13:10 <alfred__> but they are in use 20:13:10 <wilcal> if we can't get inside 4GB then we probably can't get inside a DVD 20:13:11 <lewyssmith> OK 20:13:23 <MrsB> still, the additional kernel modules are what caused the issues for you Dave aren't they? 20:14:04 <DavidWHodgins> It was the older radeon-firmware-nonfree that prevented the newer kernel from being installed on my system 20:14:11 <wilcal> it's got to fit on a DVD and I think that's like 4.2GB 20:14:41 <MrsB> ennael: wdyt? it's your call really 20:14:54 <DavidWHodgins> We are targeting 4GB usb sticks, which are slightly smaller than a dvd 20:15:05 <lewyssmith> Sensible. 20:15:35 <TheSuperGeek> I think the target is to have a DVD sized ISO. 20:15:45 <wilcal> how much gets lost if LibreOffice has to be downloaded? 20:15:49 <TheSuperGeek> OpenSUSE as it (4.7 gb) 20:15:58 <DavidWHodgins> TheSuperGeek: No. 4GB usb sticks 20:16:04 <TheSuperGeek> DavidWHodgins: ok 20:16:25 <DavidWHodgins> The bug report has the actual size in bytes 20:16:31 <lewyssmith> wilcal: Bill, LibreOffice is the main thing to have. 20:16:48 <wilcal> i think it also takes up the most space 20:16:59 <lewyssmith> Life is like that. 20:17:09 <DavidWHodgins> We'll see where we are when the kernel modules are cleaned up. 20:17:19 <MrsB> we have extra useless kernel modules, no need to consider removing things until they are gone 20:17:25 * MrsB talking to herself 20:17:31 <DavidWHodgins> :-) 20:17:37 <lewyssmith> No, we are spying. 20:18:23 <DavidWHodgins> Anyone have any objections to going ahead with releasing the classical iso images? 20:18:27 <MrsB> So we can either release them as-is cause we're ready, or rebuild and retest over again cause they are ready 20:19:13 <DavidWHodgins> ennael: already said she is targeting 6dev2 for fixing the size 20:19:13 <lewyssmith> If the oversize causes no harm, they should be releasable - with explanantion. 20:19:23 <hviaene> I am not sure yet, but I think there is an issue with Firefox and flash with the latest x96-64 20:19:25 <wilcal> at dev1 ok by me 20:19:34 <hviaene> X86 20:19:38 <MrsB> I think it's a shame after all this time but recognise it's dev1 and a known issue and we're really ready ourselves to get them out of the door and mvoe on 20:19:57 <MrsB> flash isn't on there herman 20:19:58 <DavidWHodgins> hviaene: That's not a blocker for 6dev1. For 6dev1, as long as it's installable, and the dm starts, that's good enough 20:20:07 <alfred__> had no probs with it the last days 20:20:10 <tarazed> do we stay at dev1 until the live isos work better? 20:20:22 <MrsB> we may have a dev1 without them 20:20:26 <alfred__> we should give it a go 20:20:31 <hviaene> Agree no blcker for dev 20:20:38 <MrsB> anne has disappeared :) 20:20:46 <DavidWHodgins> tarazed: We can go ahead and release the clasical iso images for 6dev1. Development for the live will stay at 6dev1 for now. 20:21:07 <tarazed> Happy with that Dave 20:21:21 <lewyssmith> But then *everything* should move to the next phase. 20:21:30 * MrsB invisible so shutting up 20:21:53 <DavidWHodgins> lewyssmith: No. Live can continue at 6dev1 while classical are released 20:22:04 * DavidWHodgins sees MrsB 20:22:18 <lewyssmith> MrsB: If you are invisible, how come we can see you? 20:22:29 <lewyssmith> DavidWHodgins: Beg to differ. 20:22:47 * TheSuperGeek is lost.... 20:22:59 <lewyssmith> But it is not important. 20:23:23 <DavidWHodgins> If classical reaches 6dev2 testing before live 6dev1 is released, then we'll skip 6dev1 for live. Otherwise live 6dev1 will be released when it's ready. 20:23:39 <lewyssmith> Skip Live dev1. 20:24:17 <DavidWHodgins> If live 6dev1 is ready in a few days, we'll release it 20:24:29 <MrsB> we've done so before and as they're not yet ready and classical are ready to push-ish we shouldn't hold them up 20:25:01 <DavidWHodgins> Does everyone agree with releasing 6dev1 classical iso images as is? 20:25:09 <tarazed> yes 20:25:10 <lewyssmith> OK. 20:25:12 <alfred__> i do 20:25:20 <MrsB> yes. I'll create a bug report for the extra kmods 20:25:42 <hviaene> OK 20:26:02 <DavidWHodgins> #info Classical iso images for 6dev1 approved for release 20:26:17 <DavidWHodgins> ennael: ^^^ 20:26:45 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Testing updates - Any difficulties, problems, issues. 20:27:15 <tjandrews> Sorry I'm late. My Internet provider was out. 20:27:15 <tjandrews> Nobody here? 20:27:28 <DavidWHodgins> tjandrews: HiYa 20:27:30 <tarazed> good morning tj 20:27:36 <wilcal> MrsB did you see my comment in 20:27:37 <lewyssmith> It is not looking good. Too many, some of which are easy for the right person. 20:27:38 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17943 20:27:39 <[mbot> Bug 17943: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , filezilla new security issue CVE-2016-2563, filezilla-3.11.0.2-1.1.mga5.src.rpm 20:28:02 <wilcal> blender got a segmentation fault in Vbox 20:28:08 <wilcal> Not on real hardware 20:28:41 <tarazed> Been out of the loop but shall try to get back in. 20:28:42 <Akien> Sounds like missing OpenGL 2.x support 20:28:54 <wilcal> probably 20:28:58 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: Does the segfault happen with the prior version? (I.E. is it a regression) 20:29:17 <wilcal> it happens with our present version of Blender 20:29:36 <lewyssmith> Bug 17994 is completely cryptic, if trivial. 20:29:38 <[mbot> Bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17994 critical, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , grub2-efi needs to conflict kcm-grub2 < 0.5.8-12.1.mga5, grub2-2.02-0.git9752.18.3.mga5.src.rpm 20:29:44 <tjandrews> For a while this afternoon it would have been faster to send messages via carrier pigeon. 20:30:22 <DavidWHodgins> If it's not a regression, then it shouldn't block the security update and a seperate bug report should be opened, unless Luigi12_work wants to fix it as part of this update 20:30:51 <wilcal> MrsB wanted to have a blender test with Filezilla 20:30:58 <Luigi12_work> if it's not a regression, go ahead with the filezilla update 20:31:09 <Luigi12_work> for the blender segfault we'll need a backtrace with debuginfo packages 20:31:18 <wilcal> OK I'll open the bug and test just Filezilla 20:31:40 <Akien> If it segfaults only in vbox I'm pretty sure it's about missing OpenGL 2.x support though 20:31:47 <Luigi12_work> sounds like it 20:31:50 <Akien> It's pretty hard to catch exceptions before a crash in such cases 20:31:52 <wilcal> can we fix that? 20:32:02 <Luigi12_work> dunno 20:32:12 <Luigi12_work> maybe a newer blender would help, maybe not 20:32:29 <Akien> Don't think so, newer blender would likely just increase the minimal OpenGL version they need. 20:32:29 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: That will be looked at after the current update gets pushed 20:32:36 <wilcal> so best to seperate this out from a filezilla security test 20:32:45 <DavidWHodgins> Yes 20:33:14 <DavidWHodgins> I'll sit down and get the advisories loaded into svn after this meeting 20:33:33 <MrsB> Blender could be affected by the lib update, please check on real HW instead 20:33:58 <wilcal> ya I can test it on 64-bit hardware 20:34:01 <MrsB> thanks 20:34:35 <DavidWHodgins> os-prober needs someone using grub2. I use grub legacy on my systems 20:35:19 <MrsB> does os-prober send output to stdout or does it update the grub config when run manually too? 20:35:30 <DavidWHodgins> Not sure 20:35:38 <lewyssmith> Just STDOUT. 20:35:51 <lewyssmith> I think. 20:36:19 <MrsB> I wasn't sure so hesitant to test it on work laptop 20:37:00 <DavidWHodgins> It should be tested on both bios and uefi firmware systems too, I think 20:37:25 <MrsB> I'm not sure that's necessary for os-prober alone 20:37:30 <MrsB> morning tmb 20:37:31 <DavidWHodgins> Make sure you have a working live iso to boot from, if needed to rescue the system 20:37:36 <lewyssmith> The os-prober thing ca be tested with grub2-efi *if you apply 17918 first*. 20:37:48 <tmb> morning 20:37:57 <lewyssmith> Welcome. 20:38:16 <MrsB> os-prober should just scan to see what is installed ont he system, not sure where it sends it's output though. 20:38:31 <DavidWHodgins> tmb: Are we expecting new live iso images soon? 20:39:42 <DavidWHodgins> tmb: Classical iso images have been approved for release 20:39:46 <MrsB> if not we can release without them 20:39:48 <tmb> Well, I've built a fresh set today, and Gnome comes up nicely, Plasma does not 20:40:04 <DavidWHodgins> Ouch 20:40:07 <wilcal> on hardware or Vbox or both? 20:40:11 * Luigi12_work thanks tmb for svn commit r814049 before the Mageia 5 release. One of the patches he added from upstream for cairo just got assigned a CVE. 20:40:13 <MrsB> but see bug 18030 if they are about ready 20:40:15 <[mbot> Bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18030 normal, Normal, ennael1, NEW , Classical ISOs have a number of old kernel modules 20:40:32 <tmb> wilcal, on vbox that is 20:41:14 <tmb> I can push them online if someone wants to test them on hw 20:41:28 <DavidWHodgins> Sure 20:41:31 <wilcal> ya something really bonkers with M6 & Vbox 20:42:23 <wilcal> M6 + Plasma + + Vbox 20:43:13 <DavidWHodgins> If they are working on real hw, but not vb, I think we can release them with the comment that we know they don't work in vb 20:43:13 <tmb> ok, will push them online then 20:43:31 <tjandrews> How so? I haven't had much trouble with the latest Classical isos. 20:43:51 <DavidWHodgins> tjandrews: These are the live iso images 20:44:19 <DavidWHodgins> May be a missing package or a configuration problem 20:44:30 <tjandrews> OK, haven't tried one of them in a while. 20:45:16 <tmb> IIRC the plasma thingie can be it tries to use some non-existant OpenGL features that vbox does not always expose 20:45:33 <tmb> "non-existant in vbox that is" 20:45:42 <MrsB> gnome never used to work in vbox either did it 20:46:06 <wilcal> ya was it M4 where we had a ton of troubles with Vbox & Gnome 20:46:07 <tmb> yeah, that was the plague of mga5, but is seems to behave now 20:46:13 <wilcal> M5 20:46:32 <MrsB> theyve swapped places 20:46:44 <tmb> yep :) 20:46:54 <MrsB> So if plasma works on real HW then let's OK it 20:47:00 <DavidWHodgins> Tends to happen with massive rewrites 20:47:06 <DavidWHodgins> Yep 20:47:19 <DavidWHodgins> #info new live iso images expected soon 20:47:38 <hviaene> I have to go, good night all 20:47:46 <DavidWHodgins> hviaene: Have a good night 20:47:48 <MrsB> nite herman thanks for coming 20:48:28 <MrsB> Everybody following ok? 20:48:55 <wilcal> yup 20:48:57 <TheSuperGeek> MrsB: i'm not I read but i don't understand all things :P 20:49:19 <DavidWHodgins> TheSuperGeek: Any specific questions? 20:49:38 <TheSuperGeek> DavidWHodgins: not really, thanks 20:49:40 <MrsB> did you and lewis manage to make contact? 20:49:47 <TheSuperGeek> MrsB: yes 20:49:51 <MrsB> great :) 20:50:00 <tjandrews> I may go soon, too.

Installed, but haven't rebooted yet 20:52:30 <tmb> I have it running on 5 systems here and on mageia buildsystem hosts :) 20:52:38 <MrsB> skylake ok now? 20:52:47 <tmb> yep 20:53:02 <MrsB> any chance we can get openqa set up please 20:53:16 <DavidWHodgins> A tester in the usenet newsgroup alt.os.linux.mageia reported the latest kernel updates fixed his skylake problems 20:53:32 <MrsB> haven't heard from vlad recently, will have to send him an email 20:54:43 <tmb> Live images online... they also use kernel-4.4.6 20:55:32 <MrsB> Are there any updates causing problems? 20:55:53 <MrsB> http://madb.mageia.org/tools/updates 20:55:57 <[mbot> [ Mageia App Db - Current Update candidates ] 20:56:12 <MrsB> I'll validate all the ones with an OK after the meeting 20:56:38 <DavidWHodgins> Hmm. I had to chown the iso images and related files before the rsync would work 20:56:59 <DavidWHodgins> MrsB: I'll do the advisories after the meeting 20:57:09 <DavidWHodgins> Then validate 20:57:16 <MrsB> OK, I'll let you do the validating too then, thanks 20:57:35 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Luigi's roundup 20:57:38 <MrsB> I'll email sysadmins about backports again :) 20:57:47 <DavidWHodgins> Luigi12_work: Still here? 20:58:14 <Luigi12_work> back 20:58:23 <MrsB> wb 20:59:17 <Luigi12_work> new security issue in proftpd, fixed upstream in the latest release. Patch doesn't look easily backportable, so we might have to update it. Waiting to see what other distros do. 20:59:43 <Luigi12_work> libvpx security issue, CVE came from Android. Looks like the issue is in the libwebm inside of it. Not sure how to deal with that one. 20:59:59 <Luigi12_work> cacti new security issue (yes, again). Waiting for upstream to ACK the suggested patch. 21:00:07 <Luigi12_work> that's it for the past week 21:00:20 <DavidWHodgins> Not bad. :-) 21:00:43 <DavidWHodgins> Thanks Luigi12_work 21:00:52 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Anything else? 21:01:05 <DavidWHodgins> Nothing else here 21:01:12 <wilcal> nothing from me 21:01:21 <MrsB> me o/ 21:01:45 <DavidWHodgins> That just leaves the countdown 21:01:46 <MrsB> I'll be away from tomorrow until Monday, going to visit my Mum 21:01:53 <DavidWHodgins> Enjoy 21:01:58 <DavidWHodgins> t - 5 21:02:01 <DavidWHodgins> 4 21:02:04 <DavidWHodgins> 3 21:02:08 <DavidWHodgins> 2 21:02:08 <rindolf> oh, i missed the meetup. 21:02:12 <DavidWHodgins> :-) 21:02:14 <DavidWHodgins> 1 21:02:21 <DavidWHodgins> #endmeeting
