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 19:39:10 <DavidWHodgins> 3 19:39:13 <DavidWHodgins> 2 19:39:16 <wilcal> Thanks for being in chargge david 19:39:22 <lewyssmith> Goodbye everyone. 19:39:24 <DavidWHodgins> Thanks for coming everyone! 19:39:27 <DavidWHodgins> 1 19:39:29 <tarazed_> Good day everybody 19:39:33 <DavidWHodgins> #endmeeting
