19:03:13 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Who's new? - If you are then come and say hello.
19:03:30 <DavidWHodgins> Anyone here who hasn't been to a qa team irc meeting before?
19:03:41 <Benmc> (thanks david, im at work, so may have to leave)
19:03:47 <DavidWHodgins> Ok
19:04:13 <DavidWHodgins> Doesn't look like anyone new
19:04:18 <DavidWHodgins> #topic * M6 Custom Partitioning bug
19:04:31 <brian__> eek
19:04:36 <wilcal> Please someone explain what's going on here
19:04:44 <wilcal> Is there a bug assigned to it?
19:06:00 <DavidWHodgins> Maurice is trying to install m6, but running into the bug where it's asking for an efi boot partition
19:06:10 <DavidWHodgins> On a non uefi install
19:06:48 <wilcal> Oooo not had the problem here. And I do a lot off net installs
19:06:54 <DavidWHodgins> Let's leave that for the ml, and get him to open a bug report to have a place to gather the info
19:06:58 <brian__> hmm  - is he trying to use xfs or btrfs?
19:07:00 <Benmc> i read it as a bios boot partition, which did show up on some earlier .isos
19:07:12 <wilcal> Ya need to make it official
19:07:21 <marja> DavidWHodgins: on a  system with legacy  Bios?
19:07:28 <DavidWHodgins> marja: Yes
19:07:38 <marja> DavidWHodgins: ouch!
19:08:09 <DavidWHodgins> One thing I forgot to ask is to ensure he's actually using the m6 final iso images, not one of the older images
19:08:30 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Testing updates - Any other difficulties, problems, issues?
19:08:41 <lewyssmith> tarazed_, Good evening, Len.
19:08:41 <brian__> good point and what type of file systems he's building?  I ran into issues needing a /boot on XFS and btrfs
19:09:04 <tarazed_> Hi Lewis WilcAl and all.
19:09:13 <DavidWHodgins> the db/pjproect bugs I'll take care of after todays meeting. (Just got up an hour ago. :-)
19:09:25 <wilcal> David decision on db & pjproject
19:09:40 <wilcal> you got the football on those david
19:09:44 <DavidWHodgins> Yes
19:09:48 <lewyssmith> BTW Thanks a lot Bill for your mechanical update tests.
19:09:56 <wilcal> no prob
19:10:19 <lewyssmith> I am happy to validate those updates immediately.
19:10:25 <wilcal> what about the acme thingy
19:10:36 <lewyssmith> Same?
19:10:55 <DavidWHodgins> Yes
19:11:07 <tarazed_> having my usual trouble with web programming - for mod-perl
19:11:08 <wilcal> That'll take those off the list
19:11:28 <lewyssmith> Look in tomorrow, they will be gone.
19:11:32 <tarazed_> ruby has been delayed
19:11:46 <DavidWHodgins> bug 20731 I haven't looked at yet.
19:11:48 <[mbot> Bug: ['mysql-connector-java new security issues CVE-2017-3523, CVE-2017-3586, and CVE-2017-3589', 'NEW', 'QA Team'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20731
19:12:31 <wilcal> I'll start on the wireshark bug. That takes me a day or two
19:12:32 <DavidWHodgins> Should be just a matter of finding a application that uses it, and confirming it works
19:12:44 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: Thanks.
19:12:48 <wilcal> mostly to download the db
19:13:01 <wilcal> watch football and download
19:13:14 <lewyssmith> 20731 I have noted the test.
19:13:41 <wilcal> I wish I understood the openvpn thing better
19:14:42 <lewyssmith> Don't we all?
19:15:28 <DavidWHodgins> IIRC, for that one, in the past I used multiple vb guests, with one connecting through the other, and then vice-versa
19:15:46 <DavidWHodgins> Should be in the older updates for it
19:17:40 <DavidWHodgins> for bug 21774, git is a bit of a pain to set up. I'm not sure if it's for the same package, but we have done git server/client testing before. I'll have to dig to see if I can find the procedures
19:17:42 <[mbot> Bug: ['Git cvsserver OS Command Injection (CVE-2017-14867)', 'NEW', 'QA Team'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21774
19:18:35 <DavidWHodgins> For bug 21797, would be nice to test it on 64 bit, as it involves drakboot
19:18:37 <[mbot> Bug: ['[update candidate] drakxtools-17.88.1-1.mga6 (was: drakboot crashed)', 'NEW', 'QA Team'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21797
19:18:59 <DavidWHodgins> That can be tested in a vb guest
19:19:18 <DavidWHodgins> Use a snapshot, to ensure the guest doesn't get messed up.
19:19:55 <DavidWHodgins> for bug 21813, I don't expect we'll be testing anything other than the update installing cleanly
19:19:57 <[mbot> Bug: ['update nsis package to 3.x to support cross compiling Windows installer compatible with Windows 10', 'NEW', 'QA Team'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21813
19:20:24 <DavidWHodgins> The others are new, and I haven't looked at them yet.
19:22:06 <DavidWHodgins> Any questions on the other updates?
19:22:27 <wilcal> Not from me
19:22:35 <DavidWHodgins> That just leaves ...
19:22:38 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Anything else?
19:23:04 <tmb> a sh*tload of kernels is building...
19:23:16 <lewyssmith> Great...
19:23:19 <wilcal> If you haven't noticed I'm putting some cycles into MythTV, Kaffeine and me-tv to get a handle on Mageia and Digital TV. There's an outstanding bug on MythTV which I also found. Won't install. Kaffeine runs wonderfully well
19:23:35 <Bequimao> What about Neoclust's plan for Plasma?
19:23:38 <DavidWHodgins> Do you have a dvb card?
19:23:42 <tmb> but ignore 4.9.55-1 as I just saw a report about broken dhcp with it
19:23:44 <wilcal> Yes
19:23:56 <wilcal> The defacto standard
19:23:59 <DavidWHodgins> tmb: Ok. Thanks
19:24:07 <wilcal> The defacto standard lemme give you the model
19:24:11 <wilcal> brb
19:24:16 <tarazed_> I'm using dvb-t2 successfully with vlc and kaffeine.
19:25:14 <wilcal> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q with a Mohu Leaf 50
19:25:37 <wilcal> With kaffeine it runs really really well on Mageia 6
19:26:09 <DavidWHodgins> tmb: Just fyi. I do have a problem when testing kernels, that I'm trying to track down what triggers it.
19:26:30 <wilcal> Kaffeine is a very well constructed app
19:26:40 <wilcal> kernels by this weekend?
19:27:05 <DavidWHodgins> When I'm installing all of the kernels, for some reason, during installation my hard drive slows to a crawl. Note that this is during the rpm installs, not while booting the test kernels
19:27:09 <hviaene> I have a Genius TVGo 3 USB thingy: OK with kaffeine and vlc, not with tvtime
19:27:12 <tmb> wilcal, yes
19:27:56 <Bequimao> What about Neoclust's roadmap for Plasma in Mageia 6 and Cauldron? See mail from tuesday.
19:27:56 <DavidWHodgins> It's a weird problem. Doesn't always happen, but it's happened enough, and only during kernel installs, that it has to be related
19:28:25 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, check for any logs/dmesg output of some timeout...
19:28:34 <DavidWHodgins> Once the hd slows down, only way to restore normal speed is a cold restart
19:28:38 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, is it when it creates initrd ?
19:28:48 <DavidWHodgins> Nothing in dmesg. I've looked
19:28:59 <DavidWHodgins> I thinks so, not 100% positive
19:29:40 <DavidWHodgins> I think it's the kernel-tmb one, but again, not 100% positive at this point
19:29:51 <marja> DavidWHodgins: do you have a zillion bootable partitions with many kernels each?
19:29:56 <DavidWHodgins> Yes
19:30:00 <DavidWHodgins> :-)
19:30:18 <DavidWHodgins> Over 50
19:30:26 <DavidWHodgins> Over 50 kernels total
19:30:32 <marja> DavidWHodgins: probing them all takes time
19:31:06 <DavidWHodgins> On the test drive, 3 releases, both arches, plus xen, for the 64 bit arches
19:31:22 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, so if you temporarily uninstall os-prober (or disable it otherwise) do you get speed back ?
19:31:26 <DavidWHodgins> Seperate partition for each. All kernel flavors on each
19:31:35 <wilcal> gratious
19:31:47 <DavidWHodgins> tmb: I'll have to try that
19:32:13 <DavidWHodgins> Again, though, once it slows down, a reboot does not fix it. It requires a full power down/restart.
19:32:57 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, or compare lsinitrd for both core and tmb kernel if there is some "missing module" (or an additional one) it's trying to probe for
19:33:15 <DavidWHodgins> My ssd drives, on the same sata controller don't seem to be affected
19:34:25 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, it might be because tmb kernels push hw harder than core kernel as it have more special patches than core
19:34:27 <DavidWHodgins> I'll try that.  When it slows down, installing each kernel takes about an hour, instead of a couple of minutes
19:35:04 <DavidWHodgins> Once they are installed, and the system cold booted, all of the kernels work fine. It's during the install that the problem is triggered.
19:35:58 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, dmesg from same version of core & tmb kernel could pinpoint if tmb kernel inits some hw differently
19:37:31 <DavidWHodgins> When I'm testing this next set of kernel updates, I'll try to gather more info to narrow down what's happening. Just wanted you to know that there is some weird problem, even though I don't have enough info yet for a useful bug report
19:38:11 <tmb> DavidWHodgins, well, I've given some pointers to check for now, so lets see if any of them helps :)
19:38:19 <DavidWHodgins> It's an annoying one, as testing all flavors of a kernel update is already very tedious. :-)
19:38:27 <DavidWHodgins> Thanks
19:38:37 <DavidWHodgins> So, anyone have anything else?
19:38:46 <wilcal> not from me
19:38:54 <tarazed_> Nope.
19:38:59 <DavidWHodgins> Countdown time then
19:39:03 <DavidWHodgins> t - 5
19:39:03 <lewyssmith> Nor me.
19:39:05 <wilcal> bye all
19:39:07 <DavidWHodgins> 4
