19:04:01 <wilcal> Anyone new in here today?
19:04:45 <wilcal> nope so on to the topic of the day
19:04:47 <wilcal> #topic M8 isos and testing
19:05:12 <wilcal> Although quiet I've been putting a lot of time into M8
19:05:34 <tarazed> Cauldron is in trouble just now though.
19:05:47 <wilcal> Say why?
19:06:08 <Benmc> thats its nature. its been a long run with few issues for me
19:06:13 <tarazed> When I logged in today the scheduled updates were a total mess.
19:06:33 <tarazed> That might delay alpha2
19:06:47 <wilcal> I updated this morning and there were no updates that was about 8-hours ago
19:06:48 <jkerr82508> perl is being rebuilt
19:06:55 <wilcal> Ahhh
19:07:07 <wilcal> FWIW I run off a local repo not off the net
19:07:12 <jose_> What have I missed?
19:07:16 <jose_> Hello!!
19:07:31 <wilcal> I rsync my local repo at 4am that so the repo is stable
19:07:46 <wilcal> so if there are any changes I don't see them till the next day
19:07:48 <tarazed> Hi jose_
19:07:57 <wilcal> Hello Jose
19:08:17 <Benmc> Jose_: hi. good catch with bug 26774
19:08:19 <[mbot> Bug: ['Gimp fail to start on real hw - segment violation - 32 bit mga8 alpha', 'NEW', 'All Packagers'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26774
19:08:58 <wilcal> When dosegment violations are ugly
19:09:32 <jose_> It looks like gimp is giving trouble ...
19:09:48 <wilcal> Cornerstone app
19:10:16 <tarazed> Especially for TJ
19:10:17 <wilcal> When was the last time gimp was updated in M8?
19:10:28 <wilcal> Or has it always been broken
19:11:11 <jose_> I don't have Mga 8 Vbox now, because yesterday I had to reinstall Mageia 7 on my computer
19:11:17 <Benmc> who knows? the important thing its found
19:11:26 <jose_> I will install again tomorrow to test
19:11:27 <wilcal> only in 32-bit?
19:11:47 <Benmc> seems so
19:12:01 <jose_> No, I am testing 32 and 64 bit,
19:13:14 <wilcal> At this point in the testing I don't test individual 32-bit apps
19:13:24 <jose_> Yesterday I made a package request to add Deltachat. You have tried this application. In Mageia the app does not work. I'm watching it with dev on Github
19:13:30 <wilcal> Same problem in Plasma, Xfce and Gnome?
19:14:08 <jose_> I haven't tried those three environments.
19:15:15 <wilcal> Well gimp is in all three Live-DVD's so it's gotta be fixed before the next round of isos are published
19:18:44 <wilcal> Martin is streamlining the boot install process to better inform the installer about where the bootloader is going to be installed
19:18:49 <ezequielpartida> Hello Eveyone!
19:18:59 <wilcal> hello eze
19:19:05 <Benmc> hi zeke
19:19:49 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26761
19:19:51 <[mbot> [ 26761 – Add some user guidance to where to put bootloader. ]
19:20:09 <wilcal> If your not careful it'll blow out your Windows boot loader
19:20:27 <ezequielpartida> Is someone know how to make Mageia 7/8 work on a server that uses the Mach64 driver please help!!
19:20:29 <wilcal> so Marting is putting in some guidence there
19:21:09 <wilcal> That sounds like something to ask in the Mageia forums
19:21:36 <rindolf> ezequielpartida: hi
19:21:38 <Benmc> zeke, or the qa-discuss mailing list, not everyone ishere
19:21:48 <wilcal> So I guess we are in a hold on the next round of M8 Alpha isos
19:22:02 <rindolf> ezequielpartida: mach64 graphics?
19:22:14 <ezequielpartida> I did wilcal.... I home someone answers... It is a DellPowerEdge 950 I am testing MGA8..
19:22:38 <Benmc> sorrry guys, got to go
19:22:56 <rindolf> ezequielpartida: please don't /msg me
19:22:57 <wilcal> Later Ben
19:23:17 <wilcal> Anything else on M8 testing?
19:23:35 <rindolf> ezequielpartida: why do you need graphics on a server?
19:23:54 <wilcal> Dell platforms are EXTREMELY generic so easy to install Linux
19:24:18 <wilcal> Also you don't lose your warranty if you install Linux
19:24:30 <ezequielpartida> All M8 isos work great for me.. I just still have the NO SOUND problem...
19:25:06 <wilcal> Try another DE to see if that's a Plasma problem
19:25:19 <wilcal> Also try a Live-DVD
19:25:40 <ezequielpartida> I have 3 Dell servers.. A powerEdge 950 (32bit Processor)... A PE 2950 (64bit) and a T110 II (My own)
19:25:43 <wilcal> Also the volumn control is turned way down at install by default
19:26:01 <wilcal> Anything else on M8?
19:26:05 <ezequielpartida> the first one uses mach64 graphics but no video.
19:26:51 <wilcal> I tend to try and use the most common and generic hardware. I've even stopped using Nvidia
19:27:32 <ezequielpartida> I had an xorg.conf file with mandriva 2010 that worked long time ago but I lost it.. I will install MGA8 on the T110 II and the 2950 today.
19:27:53 <ezequielpartida> BTW.. is it possible to host an MGA mirror on one of  my servers?..
19:28:24 <wilcal> OOoooOOOO I've thought about that. Hold a sec
19:29:59 <wilcal> A quick look tells me an M7/M8 repo is about 500GB and 225,000 files
19:30:15 <wilcal> You really want to do that?
19:30:22 <wilcal> lets move on
19:30:31 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates & Backports
19:31:03 <wilcal> My daily rsync can take only a few minutes to sometimes an hour or so
19:31:32 <wilcal> But for that I get, for 24-hours, a stable unchanging, repo
19:31:46 <ezequielpartida> I have 6-400gb hds Raid on it..
19:32:39 <wilcal> I have a Qnap RAID5 NAS on which is the m7/m8 repo
19:33:08 <wilcal> Anything in the list of issues to test that need discussion
19:33:48 <wilcal> JUst a handful of open issues
19:34:06 <wilcal> some significant updates in the last week.
19:35:43 <wilcal> I wanted to state for the record here that the detection of, reporting of, remedy of the Libreoffice wrinkle last weeked was about as professional as it can get
19:36:18 <wilcal> Any Corporation would love to have that kind of professional response to an issue
19:36:51 <wilcal> detected, documented, fixed and published all within about 24-hours
19:37:12 <wilcal> and it was a bad mistake. Nobody got accoused of anything
19:37:25 <wilcal> s..t happens. plan for it
19:38:29 <wilcal> We should move on
19:38:31 <wilcal> #topic Anything else?
19:38:35 <wilcal> Anything else
19:39:21 <wilcal> I'm probably here for the next 2-meetings anywhay
19:40:38 <wilcal> If nothing else it's time for the countdown
