19:03:38 <wilcal> Welcome all to another QA meeting
19:03:55 <wilcal> #topic Who's new?
19:04:08 <wilcal> Anyone new here today?
19:05:13 <wilcal> Nope
19:05:22 <wilcal> just a couple things today
19:05:26 <wilcal> #topic M7.1 EOL - Status
19:05:52 <wilcal> So if you have not noticed all of the bugs for M7.1 have been cleared out
19:06:10 <wilcal> I haven't seen a bug come through at least for a couple days
19:06:24 <wilcal> So I think it truly is behind us
19:06:53 <wilcal> M9 testing is many months away
19:07:14 <wilcal> So we only have updates to M8 to test for awhile
19:07:18 <bri_an> good
19:07:32 <wilcal> I have completely switched over to M8 on all my latforms
19:07:42 <wilcal> platforms
19:08:32 <wilcal> M7.1 dragged on for at least an extra 30-days
19:08:36 <bri_an> so it is official ... I can erase the last of my m7 drives.  I'll keep the Vbox ones, but the drives are done
19:08:57 <bri_an> ?
19:09:18 <wilcal> I have it on an old 128GB SSD drive for hardware and in a Vbox client
19:10:23 <wilcal> I also no longer have an updating M7.1 local repo. I use the Mageia repo at mirrors.kernel.or
19:11:09 <wilcal> I have a moving M9 repo
19:11:14 <DavidWHodgins> HiYa Sorry I'm late
19:11:42 <wilcal> #chair DavidWHodgins
19:11:42 <Inigo_Montoya`> Current chairs: DavidWHodgins wilcal
19:11:52 <tarazed> So am I - could not get irssi to work - what changed?
19:12:01 <wilcal> we were talking about the status of M7.1
19:12:14 <wilcal> It looks like it truly is behind us
19:13:13 <DavidWHodgins> Hopefully no spectre like issues show up in the next month or so to justify a 7.2 release
19:13:38 <wilcal> Please PLease no
19:14:01 <DavidWHodgins> :-)
19:14:10 <wilcal> Lets move to the hot issue on the ML
19:14:12 <wilcal> #topic M7.1 -> M8 upgrade
19:14:27 <wilcal> I see a LOT of chatter about this old issue
19:14:35 <wilcal> do we really have a problem here
19:14:57 <tarazed> I did all my upgrades months ago.  No problems.
19:15:37 <DavidWHodgins> Once I figured out I'd forgotten to skip /etc/urpmi/skip.list I was able to install the rest of the packages for my last uprgrade
19:16:06 <wilcal> Do we need some more testing on this David?
19:16:31 <ZemeMX> Hello Everyone!
19:16:59 <wilcal> Hello
19:17:05 <HDR> hi
19:17:41 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: I don't think so. I'll add it to the wiki items for preparing for upgrade
19:18:12 <wilcal> delete the reference to the M7.1 repo
19:18:26 <wilcal> llink to the new M8 repo
19:18:29 <wilcal> then run
19:18:31 <wilcal> urpmi --auto-update --auto
19:18:38 <wilcal> works for me
19:18:41 <wilcal> or did
19:18:51 <wilcal> takes awhile
19:19:39 <DavidWHodgins> After changing the repos, I used urpmi --test --auto --auto-select --download-all 2>&1 | tee /root/urpmi.upgrade.log.txt
19:19:57 <DavidWHodgins> Then ran it again without the --test
19:20:38 <bri_an> I just used the applet
19:20:40 <wilcal> It's really easy to do here so I'll give it one more go
19:21:11 <tarazed> Used both methods here without problems
19:21:28 <wilcal> So we're good there
19:21:40 <DavidWHodgins> Yes. Lets move on
19:21:53 <wilcal> #topic Mageia 8 using and testing
19:22:10 <wilcal> List is way shorter
19:22:53 <DavidWHodgins> Thanks everyone for getting the list down to what it is now so the m7 updates could be pushed
19:23:06 <wilcal> Super job
19:23:18 <wilcal> No kernels on the present list

19:26:24 <wilcal> FWIW I was easily able to link to my AWS account and move data up and down to that. No Problema
19:26:25 <tarazed> Bluetooth works much better in mga8

19:27:28 <wilcal> Worked first time
19:27:31 <ZemeMX> For your info.. I was able to join a Megeia 8 Server and Desktop to a Windows Domain and are able to login great... But I had to uses some packages from Fedora..
19:27:51 <DavidWHodgins> One issue I've noticed is that the icon for mgaapplet is not in the system tray unless there have been updates found. The tray is configured to always show all entries
19:27:55 <bri_an> ZemeMX what tool did you use for RDP?
19:28:00 <tarazed> wilcal: yes much smoother
