20:02:02 <wilcal> Nope
20:02:04 <Benmc> no stampede to the front
20:02:04 <wilcal> #topic M8 testing
20:02:37 <wilcal> I wanted to say that I worked through the repo instablity problem I ran into
20:03:12 <wilcal> changed my mirror site from kernel.org to princeton and that helpted
20:03:48 <wilcal> there has been 100's and 100's and 100's of changed to the M8 repo and that kinda got things mucked up a little, or a lot
20:03:57 <Benmc> only found 1 issue of significance bug 27926
20:04:00 <[mbot> Bug: ['xine exits silently when trying to play .mp4 or .mov', 'NEW', 'All Packagers'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27926
20:04:44 <wilcal> there's been so so many changes to M8 the present set of ISOs, IMO, are really obssolute
20:05:00 <wilcal> obsolete
20:05:01 <Benmc> its the default player for a few desktops
20:05:21 <wilcal> VLC is kinda the default everywhere
20:05:21 <Benmc> failure is from .iso install and if updated system
20:06:14 <wilcal> do files play on your VLC?
20:06:25 <Benmc> of course
20:06:54 <wilcal> the golden standard I use is terminal running ffplay
20:07:18 <wilcal> pretty much everything uses that as iit's core code
20:07:39 <Benmc> yet to try install on a real 32bit system
20:08:05 <wilcal> I really don't have a hardware 32-bit system here anymore
20:08:17 <Benmc> I have it just for testing
20:08:44 <wilcal> I run Gnome as a 32-bit Vbox client and that's as close as I can get
20:10:00 <Benmc> moving on?
20:10:15 <wilcal> So as of this morning all my M8 test installs, real hardware and Vbox clients, are back updated and running
20:11:21 <wilcal> Also M8 ( Cauldron ) Plasma x86_64 Vbox running M7.1 uses the full 1920x1080 screen. So that's been solved
20:11:34 <wilcal> yup
20:11:45 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates & Backports
20:12:25 <wilcal> massive dump onto the list. Most important there is the kernel test so I should get through that in the next couple days
20:13:10 <Benmc> will try to test it on the 32 bit system I have- on the todo list
20:13:25 <wilcal> Sounds good to me
20:13:44 <wilcal> anything in that long list that looks problematic?
20:14:08 <wilcal> Just a lot of bugs there
20:14:09 <Benmc> all of them for me- time is an issue
20:14:58 <wilcal> Hoidays are always a problem. The Europeans bail about 2nd week Dec and don't come back to 2nd week Jan
20:15:20 <wilcal> The Netherlands moves to Portugal
20:15:49 <wilcal> Lets make this short
20:15:50 <wilcal> #topic Anything else?
20:16:09 <wilcal> Most important is to stay safe
20:16:21 <wilcal> The States are having real problems
20:16:51 <Benmc> I guess you dont want me to talk about Covid vs NZ
20:16:55 <wilcal> Hurry up and develop the vaccine then can't figure it out how ti distribute it
20:17:11 <wilcal> I hear really really good things about NZ
20:17:15 <wilcal> question about that
20:17:28 <wilcal> Does NZ have a national healthcare system?
20:18:08 <Benmc> yep, life is near nomal inside the border- just gettingacross it is the issue - 14 day quarrantine
20:18:31 <Benmc> National healthcrae - you bet.
20:18:58 <wilcal> The countries with Natiuonal Healthcare systems can handle the rollout of the Vaccine. Here in the States they forgot to plan for all of that
20:19:38 <wilcal> Proise was to have 20,000,000 vacinnated by end 2020. Today. Less then 2,000,000 have been vacinnated
20:19:57 <wilcal> it'll take us about 5-years to get everiyone vacinnated
20:20:24 <Benmc> Also nathealth systems seem to co-ordinate CVid mitigation, requiring less care resources
20:20:35 <wilcal> Plus we have anon-functional President
20:20:57 <Benmc> I wasnt going THERE!
20:21:14 <wilcal> Most important issue for Trump right now is todays, and tomorrows, golf game
20:21:42 <wilcal> anyway lets wrap this. It must be summer time there now
20:21:53 <wilcal> Countdown time
