19:01:36 <wilcal> Welcome to this weeks QA meeting
19:01:41 <wilcal> Thank you for being here
19:01:50 <wilcal> This should also be a short one
19:02:00 <auroud85_fr> Hi. Yeah it is.
19:02:06 <wilcal> #topic Who's new?
19:02:23 <wilcal> No one
19:02:25 <wilcal> #topic M8 Beta 1 iso testing
19:02:36 <auroud85_fr> ISO is too old.
19:02:37 <wilcal> There was a huge update in the last days
19:02:55 <auroud85_fr> Plasma updated. QT updated. KF5 updated. Gnome updated...
19:02:57 <wilcal> M8 Beta 1 isos are obsolite
19:03:22 <ezequielpartida> hello everyone
19:03:27 <bri_an> yes - I've stopped until MGA8 is ready and new ISO's released
19:03:32 <wilcal> hello
19:04:00 <Benmc> if those DE are updated, probably time for a new set of ISOs
19:04:02 <auroud85_fr> On ISO testing there is nothing new. Waiting to Beta2 or RC?
19:04:27 <auroud85_fr> Plasma 5.20 is not here until 13th october 2020.
19:04:29 <Benmc> cannot go to rc until version freeze
19:04:41 <auroud85_fr> Currently in Beta upstream.
19:04:49 <wilcal> Do note that when these kinds of things get updated the graphics settings for my new Dell laptop have to be set back to modesetting
19:05:15 <bri_an> I see another couple of rounds of Beta before we are ready for RC
19:05:22 <wilcal> otherswise you boot to a black screen
19:05:43 <wilcal> I agree with that bri
19:05:48 <auroud85_fr> Stupid Intel bug when there are updates
19:05:59 <wilcal> Vbox has settled
19:06:22 <Benmc> Hi zeke(missed your arrival)
19:06:23 <wilcal> Cromium Browser will still not install
19:06:27 <bri_an> that's good - glad to hear that is resolved
19:06:59 <auroud85_fr> Chromium. not see anyone look at it.
19:07:19 <wilcal> Can't look at it because it won't install in M8
19:07:24 <bri_an> Chromium is kind of important
19:07:37 <wilcal> That one's a release blocker
19:07:44 <auroud85_fr> Thunderbird 78 update is also broken. Empty GUI. Profile migrated seems... But GUI is empty/
19:07:56 <auroud85_fr> Yeah . Release blocker.
19:08:33 <wilcal> So we are waiting for a number of upstream changes?
19:09:57 <auroud85_fr> don't know
19:10:01 <ezequielpartida> Will Thunderbir 81 be ready bwfore MGA8 is release?.
19:10:13 <auroud85_fr> Kernel 5.8.10 in Cauldron repo tonight
19:10:23 <wilcal> Anyway still lots of work going on there
19:10:47 <auroud85_fr> Thunderbird has an update tonight
19:10:48 <wilcal> Kernel updates are always fun. I haven't seen a kernel panic error in a long time
19:10:57 <auroud85_fr> can't have time to check out
19:11:07 <auroud85_fr> Yeah
19:11:16 <auroud85_fr> tv did good job
19:12:08 <wilcal> The cauldron repo is extremely dynamic, every night here for me
19:12:22 <wilcal> I do an rsync just after 4AM
19:12:26 <wilcal> PST
19:12:32 <wilcal> California time
19:13:22 <wilcal> There's been a number of times when I have to do two rsync's back to ack to get a stable M8 repo
19:13:45 <auroud85_fr> ^
19:13:48 <auroud85_fr> ^^
19:14:18 <wilcal> Anything else on Cauldron/M8?
19:14:54 <auroud85_fr> Gnome 3.38 landed and to be tested
19:15:09 <wilcal> applies only to M*?
19:15:14 <wilcal> M8
19:15:29 <auroud85_fr> to M8
19:15:36 <wilcal> ok
19:15:54 <wilcal> M7.1 is very very stable right now. Don't rock the boat
19:16:23 <auroud85_fr> Don't nuke it... yeah ;)
19:16:38 <wilcal> BTW I periodically do a netinstall with M7.1 and it's always been successful

19:18:27 <auroud85_fr> testing are underway
19:19:27 <wilcal> with my new Dell laptop testing I can get through Vbox and kernel testing easily in a day
19:19:59 <auroud85_fr> so do I for M7 testing
19:22:05 <wilcal> I have most of my test installs to USB drives
19:22:58 <wilcal> the external usb drive vs the internal SSD are virtually the same speed except for very large file writes to the USB

19:25:16 <wilcal> Nevada unemployment rate is still nearly 20%
19:25:40 <bri_an> Zeke - when you get to the first prompt to install, you can over-ride the parameters - i think by hitting the letter e
19:25:43 <wilcal> But the Covid problem is subsiding, slowly
19:25:50 <bri_an> try noapic - that might get you moving
19:26:17 <bri_an> yeah - I think people will be a little apprehensive for a little while to go to crowded places, which hurts most of your industry wilcal
